The huge number of high-end models available is all well and good if you only get through a couple of pairs every six months or so. However, it's a fact of life that if you're going to be playing heavier styles of music and you don't opt for one of the fine synthetic models out there, you will be shelling out quite a lot of money on a fairly regular basis.
Of course, this is fine if a) you can afford to do so and b) there are enough trees left to support your stick smashing habit.
There are many lower-priced models on the market that exhibit some high-end characteristics for a fraction of the price. You do get what you pay for these days, but it's safe to say that most mid-priced sticks are a big improvement on previous models.
Balance and grip
When selecting a good budget drum stick you must (above all cosmetic issues) see how good they feel in your hands. The balance and grip of a stick can be just as good in the budget models so if you don't mind the odd blemish or slight sniff of a second then buy 'em up and save yourself some dosh!
It would also be advisable if you tend to shred your sticks rather too easily to consider stocking up with a few budget sets and see if anyone notices any differences at all. It'll be kind on your pocket and, you never know, you might even find your perfect stick! Here's our top five picks to get you started…
5 drum sticks from £4.49
5. Pro Orca £9.30 (standard) - £11 (extra grip)
Pro Orca produces nine ranges of sticks and offers the Pro-Orca personalised label stick of your choice as well its answer to Pro-Mark's Hotrods. Visit Music Shipping for more information on all the Pro Orca products.
4. Pro-Mark LA Special £5.99
These surprisingly durable and highly affordable sticks are Pro-Mark's 'second quality' range. As such they sometimes have slight inconsistencies in finish when compared to the company's high-end models. They are still exceptional value, though.
3. DW3 Drumsticks £9.95
They say 'three is the new pair', and this brand new DW product - manufactured in Mexico with three sticks in every pack - means you always have a spare. It's been done before, but it's still a great idea and is good value considering that you get a pair and a half in every pack!
Next page: Shaw Supremo sticks and our top pick
2. Shaw Supremo Sticks £4.49
A British family-run company, William Shaw and Co has been in existence since 1866 and was recently bought by the Music Shipping Company. The company produces wood and nylon-tipped models and claims the 'largest selection of drum sticks in the world'.
1. Vic Firth Nova £5
This budget range from stick giants Vic Firth includes not only regular finish but also exotic black and red sets for half the price of the popular Vic Firth sticks. They might have minor cosmetic blemishes but, as cut-price versions of their big brother, they are made in the US and will serve you well.

Comments Needed On SEIS Scoping Alternatives For Winter Use In Yellowstone
Dear Action Alert Subscribers,
The National Park Service (NPS) has released a preliminary range of draft alternatives concerning winter use in Yellowstone National Park for public review and comment. These alternatives are key to the development of a new draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). The scoping process is the first step in the creation of the Draft SEIS that will be available for public review and comment in late April this 2012. This Draft SEIS will lead to a Final SEIS in September 2012 and the formal adoption and implementation of a proposed rule governing Yellowstone Winter use late this fall.
The public comment period for the proposed rule ends March 9, 2012, and it is extremely important that the National Park Service hear from you.
The National Park Service intends to have a final EIS, a Record of Decision, and a final rule guiding winter use in place before the start of the 2012-2013 winter season.
For up-to-date information on the Yellowstone Winter Use Issue, go to our website www.saveyellowstonepark.com
Listed below are possible areas to comment on. Each area has an asterisk (*) with a comment subject which you can expand on. To help with expanding your comments, there is information listed under that comment subject. This information gives some background to help with your commenting. (Please note these bullet comments can be arranged in any order.)
NOTE: Please be polite and, if possible, make your comment letter as personal as you can.
STEP 1: Click on the following link, this will take you to the scoping site and an electronic form for submitting written comments. http://parkplanning.nps.gov/commentForm.cfm?documentID=45665 Just read and follow the instructions.
STEP 2: Use the comment suggestions below as a guideline for your comments. Cut and paste is okay, but try to make your comment letter as personal as possible.
STEP 3: Take just a minute to add a bit about where you live, any winter visits you have made to Yellowstone, how often you go, how long you have been riding in the area and/or how important the area is to you.
Once you have completed your comments, click the "Submit" button.
You may also comment by mail to: Yellowstone National Park, Supplemental Winter Use Plan EIS, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone NP, WY 82190.
Written comments may be submitted through the website, in person, or by mail. Comments will not be accepted by phone, fax, or email. No bulk comments will be accepted. In addition, comment letters will only be accepted one comment letter per envelope. Due to the project's time schedule, the National Park Service will not entertain any requests to extend the comment period.
It is important to again include a one-year (or more) transition period after the SEIS is completed in late Fall of 2012. Having a decision made on winter access to Yellowstone Park within a very short period, possibly only 30 days before the 2012-2013 season begins, would be a hardship on the snowmobile operators getting equipment ready and the general public scheduling their vacations.
Comments on Preliminary Range of Draft Alternatives
*ALTERNATIVE 1 - No Action - Park would close to Snowmobile/Snowcoach use starting with 2012-2013 season. When creating the National Park System, Congress mandated that the Park Service: (a) "promote" and "provide for the use and enjoyment" of Park resources, and (b) "leave [the park resources] unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." These are co-equal, yet sometimes conflicting, mandates that require the NPS to balance both interests when making management decisions. The Park Service needs to provide for snowmobile and snowcoach access to Yellowstone National Park in the winter.
*ALTERNATIVE 2 - Continue Snowmobile/Snowcoach use at 2008 limits. - This could be part of a long range plan for increased access to the Park. With the development of the Non-Commercially Guided concept and additional review by the Park Service, the snowmobile community could be better serviced.
In the case of allowing only ONE Non-Commercially Guided group a day, from all gates, would not be a true pilot program. To properly evaluate the non-commercially guided concept there should be one non-commercially guided trip allowed from each current snowmobile operator a day. In addition, a review of the base allocation for snowmobile operators should be considered with an increased allocation by the non-commercially guided group numbers to each outfitter, the approximate total increase of approximately 120 a day. The new base number for snowmobile allocations per day would be 438. Sylvan Pass would be open to oversnow vehicles.
In the case of the training and education of non-commercial guides, a partnership with the American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA) with resources for training materials and the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA), with their "Safe Rider Program." Commercial Guides should be counted as "administrative travel."
*ALTERNATIVE 3 - Mixed-Use Snowcoaches, Snowmobiles and Road Plowing for Wheeled Vehicles - This concept has been studied and additional review will show that it is not viable and would not provide positive visitor experiences. The cost and wear on Yellowstone Park's roads would be unacceptable.
*ALTERNATIVE 4 - Transition to BAT Snowcoaches only - The future development of BAT requirements for snowcoaches continues to be in question. It would cost an estimated $5,900,000 to upgrade the current fleet to "highway EPA standard." The creation of a science based BAT for snowcoaches will require many years of development. A "New Snowcoach" may be the only viable option to meet these standards.
*ALTERNATIVE 5 - Sound Event Management - The name of this concept would be changed to "Visitation Events" this name change reflects the entire range of issues surrounding trips into the Park by snowmobile or snowcoach, e.g. concerns on sound, emissions and wildlife encounters. This concept needs more study, and will take a long time to develop. The current snowmobile fleet used in the Park meets a BAT standard that used the EPA standard for snowmobiles, and that BAT was created by tightening EPA standards. The BAT process for snowmobiles, including the EPA's process, took approximately 12 years to develop. There are no EPA standards for current snowcoaches, and the BAT development will take many years to develop and implement. How can this concept of "Sound /Visitation Event Management" be applied until snowcoaches have a BAT standard and have complied with that standard? Sylvan Pass would be open to oversnow vehicles.
Closing the first two weeks and last two weeks of the season to snowmobiles and non-rubber tracked snowcoaches would not provide for the visitor experience that was desired. In addition the ability to provide groomed roads after two weeks of limited plowing and/or rutting of roads would be very difficult and should be studied based on past history. It would be unfair to require current operators to provide both snowmobile and snowcoach trips into the Park, resulting in a negative effect on the Gateway communities that serve the Park.
Not allowing use of snowmobiles and snowcoaches in Park during the first two weeks and last two weeks of the season would have a negative impact on over snow operators and visitors. In addition, on December 15th to 29th, there would be transition days in between as you cannot keep the roads plowed one day and run oversnow traffic the next. There would need to be time for snow to be plowed back onto the road and groomed over a series of days in order to build a useable base for snowcoaches and snowmobiles to operate on safely and effectively. In the March 1 to 15th time frame there would need to be transition days for plows to break through the thick ice and snowpack that regularly happens. This would take place before commercial wheeled or rubber-tracked vehicles could be used.
*ALTERNATIVE 6 - Sound/Visitation Event Management Limits with Vehicle Limits - This concept needs more analysis and study. Again, as commented on in Alternative 5, does the "one snowcoach equal 7 snowmobiles in one group" use the current non-BAT snowcoach vs. 7 BAT snowmobiles? Or will it only come into play when BAT for snowcoaches is established and implemented? Note: Today some snowcoaches can carry up to 30 people vs. 14 snowmobile riders in a group of 7 which should be increased to 10 machines. What about issues related to the number of passenger carried by a snowcoach as compared to snowmobiles only carrying two riders? In addition, road grooming and snow compaction needs to be studied in its entirety. The cause of rutting of groomed roads need to be identified and corrected. Sylvan Pass would be open to oversnow vehicles.
In addition, it is unfair to require snowmobile operators to provide both commercial snowcoach and snowmobile guides for trips into the park. There needs to be a program that allows sharing of Sound/Visitation events among operators at each gate to meet the publics demand. The economic impact of this requirement should be studied with more detail provided in the draft SEIS. What would be a phasing period? These issues need to be analyzed in the draft SEIS process. How long will it take to develop BAT for snowcoaches? How much will it cost? How will the current fleet of historic snowcoaches owned by the Park Service, and operated by Zantara, fit into BAT for coaches?
*ALTERNATIVE 7 - Variable Use Across Park and Winter Season - This is not workable in the manner presented. In the case of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from snowmobiles, the Park Service does not have the authority to regulate this. The EPA has stated that (NOx) regulation is not need in a winter setting.
Please add my name to the Yellowstone Winter Use mailing list and keep me informed as the Proposed Rule process moves forward.

Wyatt Ferris used to be a quarterback in Pop Warner football.
With his height, he could certainly see over the defense, but there was something that he said held him back. He couldn't always remember the plays.
"I'd remember some, but I'd get them mixed up and sometimes just forget them straight out," Ferris said.
Fast forward some years, and Ferris no longer needs to remember plays on the gridiron. He is a senior leader for the Costa Mesa High boys' water polo team, and he is on fire.
Ferris, the Daily Pilot Athlete of the Week, scored a career-high 10 goals last week as the Mustangs bested rival Estancia, 17-3, in the Orange Coast League opener for both schools.
He was not done. He scored eight goals on Wednesday as the Mustangs defeated Saddleback, 16-4, in another key league game.
A day after the game he had leader-type things to say, even though the game could have been expected to be tight. The teams played two close games over the summer, and Saddleback won both.
"I was expecting to come out strong," Ferris said. "I expected it from my team, and I knew that they expected it from themselves too."
What Coach Justin Taylor expects from Ferris, a three-year varsity starter, is a strong all-around game. He can both play at and defend two meters. Lately he hasn't been doing that as much, as Taylor prefers Ferris on the perimeter so he can counterattack with ease.
It wasn't always that way. When Ferris played on varsity as a sophomore he was primarily a defensive player. But last year he exploded to score a team-high 93 goals, which ranked him 13th on Mesa's all-time list.
"Last year he really came into his own and had a breakout season," Taylor said. "I guess I was a little surprised last year when his offensive game developed as well as it did. I think he realized that he was capable of playing a more well-rounded game. James [Lewis] and Wyatt fed off each other very well."
Ferris said he expected Lewis, then a senior, to lead the team in scoring. But he said Lewis is quick to remind him that he missed a couple of games due to injury.
"He had a higher average [per game], so he likes to say he had more goals than me," Ferris said, smiling.
Now the Mustangs have young pieces like sophomores Deighton Tachiki-Urias and Nick Lewis, but Ferris is undoubtedly the leading scorer. He has a league-high 44 goals for Costa Mesa (9-2), on his way to another season near triple-digits.
Ferris, who stands 6-foot-4, is a beast. He is the third of four children, all of whom have gone to Costa Mesa and been involved in sports. His younger brother, Oliver, a junior at Mesa, is the quarterback of the Mustangs' junior varsity football team.
Wyatt Ferris said he doesn't really give his younger brother any tips. Wyatt himself is a three-sport athlete, as he also plays basketball and volleyball. He has started at middle blocker and opposite hitter for the Mustangs' varsity volleyball team.
But now aquatics is his focus. He said he would like to play in college. Ferris credits his coach Taylor, who was a goalie at Costa Mesa in the 1990s, for helping him come this far.
"How well I'm doing is because of what he does, his practices and how he runs everything," Ferris said. "Without him, I don't know if I'd be talking to you right now. [The program] was very successful in his day, and he wants us to return to that success. We're definitely getting better, better and better. This year, we're hopefully going to make it to CIF, and I think we can get better from there. We have the club program, CMAC [Costa Mesa Aquatics Club], and they're learning at such a young age and they have a whole bunch of practice time. We're getting there, definitely."
In the meanwhile, Ferris is helping the Mustangs make a run through league. They still have Godinez, Sage Hill and Laguna Beach to go. The Breakers have never lost a league game since the league was formed in 2006.
"We just want to make it so we can contend for Laguna in the last game," Ferris said. "We want the last game to be for a league championship. I fully expect it to be like that."
If the Mustangs get there, it will be Ferris leading the way.
"He definitely has the ability to play at a higher level, and I hope he pursues that," Taylor said. "The kid's a stud. If he gets an opportunity in close to the cage, one-on-one, he's hard to stop.
"He's a man of few words. He's usually not the guy in there rallying the troops, but his play speaks for itself."

Jen's got a photoset up of Gary Regan's visit this weekend to LeNell's. Imagine seeing Dale DeGroff, David Wondrich, and Gary Regan in the same week! Wow…
Anyway, Gary Regan is so charming and fun in person. He discussed mixing techniques, cocktail ingredients, and bar equipment, all while mixing drinks and passing them out to the crowd. He started with the sidecar. He discussed his theory of mixology—how everything reduces down to several basic recipes. The sidecar is cognac, triple sec, and citrus juice. The margarita—tequila, triple sec, citrus. The kamikaze—vodka, triple sec, citrus. The cosmo complicates things, but only barely—citrus vodka, triple sec, cranberrry, citrus juice.
This is a powerful idea, and Gary attributes it to Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh. But whomever the originator, it's an idea worth remembering—a strong spirit, a liqueur (or other sweetening agent), and citrus juice. The spirit is your base; so many of Gary's recipes are in the proportion of 3-2-1. Three parts spirit, two of liqueur, and one of citrus. Add other ingredients, maybe some vermouth, an additional liqueur, but keep the spirit as the predominant flavor, and just experiment.
On the subject of experimentation, Gary talked about coming down on the train to LeNell's and thinking, Hmmmmmm, I love an aviation cocktail. (That's gin, maraschino, and lemon juice—oh look! spirit, sweetening liqueur, and lemon!) Could you make an aviation with tequila replacing the gin? Well, why not try it. So he tried that with us. We got a Gary Regan original.
He said, well, you know that lime is traditional with tequila, so why are we using lemon? It seems that one night he wanted an aviation but was out of lemon. He tried lime juice instead, and it was vile in the drink. Just doesn't marry well to the maraschino apparently.
So he mixed up this new drink and sampled a little. Not bad. Not bad at all. He poured up some and passed them out to the crowd, dubbing it the LeNell—which flattered and charmed the hell out of our hostess. And it's a good drink.
Jen doesn't like the maraschino (Stock) that I've used for drinks, but Gary used the Luxardo, and she liked it. Her only quibble was that the drink might be better if were drier, with a bit more citrus. Gary overheard her telling me that and mixed up a bit more lemon and added it to her drink.
He then said that a good bartender will, if he or she has enough time and isn't in the weeds, remember a regular's preferences and, for example, mix my drink with less lemon juice and Jen's with a little more.
And that's Gary Regan. Smart, accommodating, charming, drinker-driven, and damn good behind the stick.

Peanut producers should be aware there are significant legal issues whenever it comes to saving seed, and a violation of laws and regulations could prove costly.
"All peanut varieties that are currently grown in Georgia are, to my knowledge, protected by either the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) of 1994 or a plant patent," said Terry Hollifield of the Georgia Crop Improvement Association, speaking at the recent Georgia Peanut Farm Show in Albany.
There are several ways of going about getting a plant patent, he says. "The plant itself might be unique. In horticulture, that would include some of our turfgrass varieties. It can have a unique oil or mill chemistry. It can also have a unique gene, such as the Roundup Ready crops. Sometimes, you can have both a PVPA and a patent," says Hollifield.
So what exactly is protected? Hollifield says the intellectual property rights of the developer are protected, and the developer isn't necessarily the breeder.
"It can be the breeding institution such as the University of Georgia or the University of Florida, a private company, USDA. They own the intellectual property rights to that new invention. They have the ability to determine who can grow that seed and market it, and who has to pay a royalty for unique traits," he says.
Varieties protected under the USDA-administrated PVPA may not be sold, marketed, offered for sale, delivered, consigned or exchanged without the explicit consent of the owner of the variety. "It is illegal to condition or shell the variety for the purpose of propagation. However, a producer may save seed for the sole purpose of planting his holdings, he says.
But there currently is some discrepancy over the term, "planting his holdings," says Hollifield.
"What that meant to us in the past was that if you traditionally grew 100 acres of peanuts, and you purchased seed of a protected variety, and you wanted to save enough seed to re-plant that 100 acres, then you're welcome to do so.
"That was within the law. But there has been some discussion over the last six to seven months that that is not the intent of the law — that what it really means is if you purchased 10,000 pounds of Georgia-06 seed last year, then you can save 10,000 pounds of Georgia-06 seed to plant this coming spring."
Contact the developer
Hollifield suggests, particularly to custom shellers, that they might want to contact the developer of the cultivars to be certain about their interpretation of the law. "Remember that the developer is the institution that owns the patent, and not the breeder. Under the 1994 Act, it's an infringement to shell, treat, bag or store farmer-saved seed at a quantity that exceeds what the farmer can legally save. We've got to get to a place to where we're all in agreement as to what legally saved means."
Custom shellers have a responsibility to uphold the PVPA, he says, and they have a responsibility to know the rules and regulations.
"If someone is caught violating the PVPA and they go to a jury trial before a judge, and they determine a loss to the owner of the intellectual property rights — loss of royalties or income — the judge can triple that number, and that's how we get those large settlements, some of them here in Georgia."
Obviously, says Hollifield, those fines are being used as a deterrent to prevent piracy of seed.
Patents, he explains, are a little more straight-forward. For anything protected by a patent, farmers may not save seed for that particular variety. Custom shellers may not shell, treat or bag seed of a patent-protected variety. Fines are similar to PVPA infringements, he adds.
Some growers have said they want to save their own seed because they feel they can grow a better product or have less costs in it, says Holliefied. "If it's a protected variety, you're welcomed to do so, but you need to be aware of what the law is so you don't get into trouble."
When you purchase your original seed, he advises, look on your bag and look on your tag. "Notification for PVPA has to be on the seed analysis tag. But the patent is not part of the Federal Seed Act, and that'll usually show up on a separate tag, or it might be on the bag itself."
As of January 2011, the following varieties were protected as "Patented," meaning that a farmer may not save the seed: Andru II, ANorden, AT1-1, AT-215, AT201, AT-3085RO, Brantley, Flavor Runner 458, Florida Fancy, Florida-07, Georgia-02C, Georgia-04S, Georgia-05E, Georgia-08V, Georgia-09B, GA Hi OL, GK7-hi oleic, GP-1, Hull, McCloud, Olin, SunOleic 95R, SunOleic 97R, AgraTech VC-2 and York.
The following varieties are protected by the Plant Protection Act and a farmer may save enough seed to plant his acreage but not sell seed. Growers and shellers should check with the variety's owner to be sure of the rules and regulations that apply to that specific variety or varieties: AP-3, AP-4, AT-3081R, Carver, CHAMPS, Coan, C-99R, DP-1, Georgia Green, Georgia Greener, Georgia-01R, Georgia-03L, Georgia-06G, Georgia-07W, Gregory, NC 12C, Perry, Phillips, Tifguard, ViruGard and Wilson.
Hollifield stresses that producers should contact the Georgia Crop Improvement Association if they are uncertain about the status of a variety. "A variety may be protected by both the Plant Variety Protection Act and a Patent.
To be safe, producers should contact the owner of the variety or the Georgia Crop Improvement Association at (706) 542-2351 or email@example.com, http://www.certifiedseed.org, he says.

Bike Weight Marketing BS
"How much does this bike weigh? It's a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer."
Please. Gag me with a raw fork.
At least the bike looks cool, though.

Good point. How hard is it for them to weigh the bike as it comes from the factory. Yes, if I put a different saddle on it, some pedals, a seat bag with extra tube, leavers, CO2, and a chuck, then it will weigh more. I hate PR and the flacks that write the dreck.ReplyDelete

A common question - but clearly not one they're bored with yet!!ReplyDelete
How hard could it be? Just tell us the weight of a medium frame and we can, just about, figure it out for ourselves. Or, we could go to our 'local' retailer and find a 'qualified technician' who can just regurgitate the same gobshite from the Giant brochure, before (scientifically and with unerring accuracy) allow us to pick one up (regardless of size) and give it a bit of a shake....
The Anthem is a great bike though, so don't let Giant's marketing people put you off too much! Mind you, have you read some of the other manufacturers stuff??? I think it's all about lifestyle….

What the f..k are "variances"?ReplyDelete
Specialized provides a similar response when asking about the weight of their bikes. Interestingly, the folks at Scott Bikes have no problem displaying the bike weights on their website...2010 Spark RC weighs in at a sick 21.59lbs!!ReplyDelete

In probability theory and statistics, the variance is used as one of several descriptors of a distribution. It describes how far values lie from the mean. In particular, the variance is one of the moments of a distribution. In that context, it forms part of a systematic approach to distinguishing between probability distributions. While other such approaches have been developed, those based on moments are advantageous in terms of mathematical and computational simplicity.ReplyDelete
The variance is a parameter describing a theoretical probability distribution, while a sample of data from such a distribution can be used to construct an estimate of this variance: in the simplest cases this estimate can be the sample variance.

SOMERVILLE — For 18 years, Katherine Cremin has pored over the pages of the photo album of her daughter Deanna's life, searching picture by picture and page by page for meaning, for clues to her murder.
She turned the pages so often they came free from their binding and sit now on the sofa, on the kitchen table, and in her bedroom. Every so often, she picks one up and kisses it — Deanna holding a white carnation as a child or as a teenager gabbing on a red telephone — before putting it back.
"I've been looking at her letters, her e-mails, her messages. I've been looking at her pictures from her birth right up to her 17th birthday,'' said Cremin, as she sat teary-eyed in her Stoneham apartment. "I can still see her funeral. I want answers. Who killed my daughter?"
Cremin cannot let that question go unanswered. Not while her daughter's killer roams free. Not while homicide detectives are on the trail. Not ever.
On Saturday, friends and the rest of the Cremin family will say a 4 p.m. prayer service in St. Ann Church where Deanna Cremin was baptized — and hold a rally in a nearby school yard. They plan to stand in silence in front of the Broadway home of the teenager's former boyfriend, who they believe took her life.
Then Katherine Cremin will lead the group down Jaques Street, along the route they believed Deanna Cremin walked on her last night, from her boyfriend's home to the spot behind a senior housing complex, where her body was found.
"I'm praying that someone is still out there who heard something, who saw something,'' Cremin said. "You don't know how minuscule or how valuable that information is. Maybe they can do something to solve this."
Deanna J. Cremin would have been 35 on March 26. She's been dead longer than she was alive. In her family's memories, she is still a bubbly young girl with a mischievous spirit. She grew up to be the neighborhood baby-sitter, who adored her brothers and clowned around with her older sister Christine. Once when Deanna was a child, her mother found them making chicken soup in the toilet.
She loved Pepsi and sour pickles. She had lots of friends, and a boyfriend she dated for two years. She was chatty. He was quiet and introverted, her family said. Deanna loved him and often spent time at his home.
So Katherine Cremin was not too worried when she awoke late in the night on March 29, 1995, and discovered that Deanna was not home. She called Deanna's beeper number and got no response. She figured Deanna must have fallen asleep while hanging out at her boyfriend's. That morning she called the boyfriend, concerned.
"Tell Deanna to get her [butt] home,'' Cremin recalled saying.
He explained that he had walked Deanna halfway home the previous night. Deanna's close friends had not seen her either. Cremin left for work that morning filled with worry. She told her husband, Michael, to call the school and then call her as soon as he heard from Deanna.
Around 8 that morning, two school girls found the teenager's body on Jaques Street. An autopsy revealed that she had been strangled and sexually assaulted. She was found with one of her legs partially out of her pants and only one sock on, a sign that there might have been a struggle, her mother said.
Cremin's husband was the one to bring the sad news when he called her at work that morning. "I ran'' out of the office, Katherine recalled. "I knew I was going home to a dead daughter."
When she got home, she began screaming and thrashing about. It would take years to settle down. Grief tormented her. She lost her job because she couldn't stop crying at work. Her marriage, shaky even then, fell apart. She turned to the bottle for solace. The loss of her daughter was too much.
Everyone lost something when Deanna died. It was hard on her two brothers. Her older tried hard to block the death from her memory, as if it didn't happen.
"I was in denial,'' said Christine Cremin, 36. "I still am. I can't accept it. It's too hard. I don't allow myself to think about it. I can't try to think who killed her. I can't let myself go there."
Somerville police have not responded to repeated Globe phone calls about the case. Middlesex County prosecutors say they are actively investigating, though they have released little detail about whether there are suspects, new leads, or anything else that might bring the family closure and solace.
In the days after her death, as all of Somerville mourned, the Middlesex district attorney's office released a composite drawing of a man they wanted to question in connection with the killing. He was last seen near the homicide site and was described as between 40 and 45 years old, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, and between 160 and 170 pounds.
In the 18 years since then, the family knows of only three men who have been questioned by police, not one of them arrested — the boyfriend, an older firefighter who family members say had been flirting with Deanna, and a man now serving time for rape, who had denied killing her but had no qualms explaining what he would have done if he were the one who had carried out the crime, her family said.
The search continues. Her family has held vigils, put up billboards, and created a website in a quest to find the killer. It has offered a $20,000 reward. In her honor, the corner of Jaques and Temple streets is named Deanna Cremin Square.
Earlier this month, Katherine Cremin met with Assistant District Attorney Adrienne Lynch, chief of homicide. Lynch said that officials are hopeful that with new forensic testing they may be able to get traction in the case, Katherine Cremin said.
The Middlesex district attorney's office — which would not answer Globe questions on the case, saying it remains an open investigation — is urging anyone with information on Deanna's killing to call authorities.
"We remain confident that these new forensic tools will have an important impact in helping us to solve this crime,'' said Gerard T. Leone, Middlesex district attorney. "As part of this active investigation, we are pursuing all available leads and potential evidence in our efforts to solve this case and provide justice for Deanna and her family."
The family has heard this sort of thing before. On the 10th anniversary of Deanna's death, then-District Attorney Martha Coakley told reporters that new forensic technology was helping authorities make progress in the case and that investigators were looking for specific people who they believe know what happened.
"In the last couple of months, we believe we've made some developments on the forensic front," Coakley said at the time.
The family is still waiting.
"I'm very angry,'' said Christine Cremin. "People shouldn't get away with murder. People shouldn't have to live with murder and never finding someone who is responsible. It's just not fair."Meghan E. Irons can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter at @MeghanIrons.

Present all results in rappture tester
There are occasions when viewing results that have not changed would still be useful. As it is now you have to do an end run around the tester to view results that don't change in the test or results for which no difference is evaluated.
This idea was sparked by wanting to see the file from the test run to help determine why some results were missing. The contained an error message indicating the problem but I had to examine the run*.xml file outside of the tester to determine what the problem was.

Quick, what was the last speech by a Republican that energized the base as much as Rand Paul's filibuster? Some may cite Paul Ryan's dynamic acceptance speech at the 2012 Republican Convention. But the better answer, I think, is Sarah Palin's acceptance speech in 2008.
Palin's speech was brought to us by John McCain, the same guy who now attacks Rand Paul for engaging in a stunt.
In fairness to McCain (and to Palin), his running mate said nothing in her speech that he, or other national security conservatives, could have found objectionable. Palin spoke rousingly without promulgating half-baked views or displaying paranoia. Rand Paul flirted with both.
Even so, it's a bit rich to hear McCain complaining about political stunts. In my view, the Palin nomination was, at root, just such a stunt.
I had heard McCain say on his campaign bus, "The Straight Talk Express," that he wanted a running mate who was highly qualified to serve as president and who had the expertise he lacked about economic matters. McCain must have been riding a different "Express" when he picked Palin.
After her Convention speech, Palin's star kept rising with the Republican base, but began to wane with the electorate as a whole. Eventually, it diminished even with the base.
We can only guess what will happen to Rand Paul's star. My guess, which I admit isn't worth much at this point, would be that he will divide the base and never appeal greatly to the electorate as a whole.

* Semi-Homemade Birthday Party Hats
For "C"s Pink Penguin themed 5th birthday party this month,
I made semi-homemade party hats.
She asked for "fancy party hats" so that's what I tried to make for her.
I started with a package of 8 party hats from the Dollar Tree
and some pink feather boa material from Michaels craft store.
The doilies and cupcake wrappers were already in our house.
You can find doilies like this in the cake decorating area of any craft store.
I believe the pink cupcake wrappers were part of a valentine set from Dollar Tree.
Then, I made little cut paper penguins and
punched circles out of scrapbook paper from my art studio stash.
I glued each paper penguin to a circle of scrapbook paper,
then glued that to a flattened cup cake wrapper.
Then it was time to start gluing on the feather boa edges.
Note to self, cutting out feathers makes a HUGE mess, check out my jeans.
You should have seen the floor! Have a broom and dustpan on standby.
My messy table.
Decided to add party hats to the penguins - cut them out of pink paper.
Glued the feather boa trim to the bottom edge of each hat with my glue gun.
I love my silicone glue gun pad/heat mat (got it at JoAnne's craft store)
and yes, I always glue on the floor because it's the easiest outlet to reach!
The hats weren't quite fancy enough so I glued a doily around each cone
then I added the penguins (all with my glue gun - super fast!)

Reviewed by Deepthi.G (age 10)
School was far from the ordinary. She had to deal with witches, ghosts and werewolves. To them she was different and unusual. Though she made friends with a witch, a ghost and a werewolf, she was always teased by the meanest witch Wanda, who challenged her to take part in the Gross Face Context. Will Emily Normal take the title from Wanda? You have to read and find out.
The main lesson I learned from this story is that if anyone makes fun of the way you look or talk, it is best to ignore them like Emily should have done.
I recommend this to boys and girls who have to face similar problems like Emily faced at school. I also like this book because it has both reality and fantasy.

The Redskins will be evaluating players for the rest of the regular season, but they had to evaluate x-rays of the ribs of their franchise quarterback after Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports that Robert Griffin III had x-rays taken after the game to ensure that he hadn't broken them on a hit early in the game. He complained of soreness on his left side and the team sent him for the tests to rule out a more serious injury. The x-rays were negative and Griffin said he won't be set back by the soreness at all.
"I'm fine. I'll be ready to go," Griffin said. "No one is ever going to question the fight I have inside myself to be the greatest and to help this team to victory. It doesn't matter what it is, I will make sure that I continue to help my team win games and that it starts right after the bye."
Given the absence of fractures and the extra time before the next Redskins game, there doesn't seem to be much reason to think Griffin will miss any time as a result of the injury. If that proves to be incorrect, Mike Shanahan will have a chance to evaluate Kirk Cousins or Rex Grossman.

Classic Car Corner - Dragsters
- Written by Tom Berg, Windermere Woodinville
DRAGSTERS: Because I write this article monthly I am fortunate to receive calls from my dedicated readers — usually about cars, sometimes about real estate. Mike, a local here in Woodinville, called me about his passion — DRAGSTERS — and asked me if I would be interested in checking his out. Of course I was, so I visited him at his home and shop east of Woodinville and was really impressed. His "main ride" is a classic dragster, so my question was "what defines a classic dragster?" The answer was simple: The driver sits in back of the engine right on top of the differential, instead of in front of the engine as in today's dragsters. Mike spent 7 years on and off building this beauty and has raced it up and down the west coast most of the last 4 years. He raced about 10 times this year and won 6 in a row. That's quite an accomplishment considering the reflexes required and the stress put on all the mechanical components.
This monster will do a quarter of a mile in 6 seconds at over 200 miles an hour. It's actually doing about 160 at the eighth mile which is only 660 feet! For power, Mike has an aluminum block, blown 496-cubic- inch big block chevy that burns methonal, will turn 8000 revolutions per minute, develops 1600-1800 horsepower and shifts with a button on the steering wheel — no radiator, no tachometer, no starter and a parachute to slow it down.
Mike's wife's car (it's pink) is a dragster with a 548-cubic- inch big block Chevy that burns 114 octane gas. It is a modern dragster with the driver sitting in front of the engine and has a radiator and a carburetor and takes all of 8 seconds to go a quarter of a mile. This is his version of a family car since his wife and kids have all raced it. Mike's been racing cars and working on them all his life and in fact owns a repair shop in Redmond, so when he's not working on cars at his business, he's working on cars at home.
I just saw him two weeks ago and he already has his dragster in pieces prepping it for next year's campaign.
With all his tools, fuel supply and 2 race cars and a family, Mike needs a way to get to races as far as away Bakersfield, Calif., and he does it in style. He's got a huge Mercedes deisel RV that pulls an equally huge trailer full of everything he needs for racing. I was really impressed by what it takes to travel to races up and down the Pacific Coast.
Since I have a bunch of old cars and trucks I was really envious of Mike's shop right next to his house. It's big, well lighted, heated and holds both race cars, the 40-foot RV, the 34-foot trailer — all the tools one would need and still has room to work on his projects. My car storage areas sure seem inadequate now.
These race cars are obviously Mike's passion and he has devoted all of his time to pursuing that passion, and it's fun to meet someone who is as focused on enjoying what he does as much as Mike.
Update: Earlier this year I wrote about my friend Lance the Ford collector. He finally brought himself to selling one of his 66 Fords and bought a 58 Edsel in Saskatchewan. He drove it back over 2000 miles without a major incident. He did discover the fuel gage wasn't quite right when he ran out of gas, but just to make it back with a 54-year-old car was quite an achievement. I once bought a truck in Portland sight unseen and it took me two days to get home! Congratulations, Lance.

In this changing environment, it is estimated that over half of the world's population speaks more than one language (Grosjean, 2010). Despite this, multilingualism — at least in the United States — is seen as the exception and not the rule. This view not only has implications for policy and educational practice, but also for how researchers study language and language learning. The mission of the center is to scientifically explore questions regarding foreign language instruction and learning. Our approach is fundamentally interdisciplinary. Co-directed by a linguist Yukari Hirata and a cognitive neuroscientist Spencer Kelly, the CLB explores questions that cross traditional boundaries and tackle issues not possible to address within a single field of study. Here are three lines of inquiry that guide our work: How does learning a language change the way one thinks and experiences the world? Are there neurocognitive benefits of being multilingual? Is the capacity for adults learning a second language (L2) limited? What are the psychological and social consequences of speaking an L2 with a foreign accent? How can research in phonetics, psychology and neuroscience inform foreign language instruction? Are current best practices not good enough? Supported by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation, the center will initially focus on the third line of work. This project allows for integration of research into the educational experience of Colgate students, helping to expose them to the excitement of scientific inquiry. The project provides continued opportunities for students interested in the scientific study of L2 processing and learning. Further, maintaining connections between on-campus lab facilities — bridging different disciplines — for the behavioral and neural investigation of L2 learning enriches and diversifies science education at Colgate. Finally, because scientific approaches to this topic are nascent in the United States (we really do lag behind the rest of the world), we hope that the center brings exposure to research at Colgate on this emerging and important area of study.

The BGS Department is involved with two new MBA concentrations: one in "Public and Governmental Affairs" and another in "Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility." These concentrations are briefly described below. For full information on these concentrations contact the MBA Program office or visit the MBA Curriculum and Concentrations Blackboard site.
Business leaders face an increasingly complicated and fluid legal and regulatory environment, one characterized by frequent interactions between business and governments. Consequently, the ability to manage business-government relations issues is becoming a core leadership skill. The MBA concentration in Public & Governmental Affairs is intended for students interested in (i) public and governmental affairs positions within business firms, or (ii) the impact of law and regulation on strategy. The coursework within this concentration will provide students with the tools and knowledge they need to manage the regulatory, political and legal environment of business better.
If a fourth course is needed to complete the concentration, any course from the list below:
Ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues loom larger than ever in business decision-making, and the ability to manage these issues is a core leadership skill. The MBA concentration in Ethics & Corporate Social Responsibility is intended for students interested in (i) positions within business firms that deal with CSR, ethics and sustainability, or (ii) the impact of ethics and CSR issues on strategy. The courses within this concentration are designed to provide students with the tools and knowledge they need to manage the ethical and social responsibility aspects of business in today's global economy.

I woke up with this title in my head. I don't think I've ever named a dream while still asleep.
A shabbily dressed homeless man stood in the middle of the street, autumn leaves blowing past him in the light breeze. I stood transfixed on the sidewalk. He was plucking an acoustic guitar, singing The Weight with his scratchy voice.
His voice wasn't what captivated me, it was the fact that he had no hands. His arms ended in stumps, yet he was still able to play quite well. A class of schoolchildren on a field trip approached him in a line, their teacher at the head. Each child held a bowl of applesauce and a spoon. The teacher approached the man and scooped out a spoon of applesauce, holding it up to him. He happily ate it and kept on playing.
One by one, still in their line behind the street musician, the children turned and fed the child behind them a single scoop of applesauce. A woman came jogging by on the sidewalk dressed head to toe in sweats, but still style-conscious enough to be attired with many fine earrings, necklaces and rings.
"What a noble thing you kids are doing, "she said as she came to a stop. "I can help out too."
She plucked a ring from her finger, a flat golden heart-shaped band, and tossed it to the school kids. It was a poor throw, and the ring bounced in the middle of the street and rolled under a nearby parked car. My sister, who had apparently been standing beside me this whole time, ran over and stooped under the car to retrieve the ring. She returned and gave it to me.
"Is it gold?" she asked. "You'll know if it's gold if it's still warm." I put the ring to my cheek to test.
"Yup, it's gold."

Apple Threatens To Kick Out Comic Book App Over 'Adult' Content, Forcing Publisher To Pull 40% Of Its 4,000 Titles
from the option-iPrude-accessory-gouges-eyes-out,-removes-personal-responsiblity dept
Apple's worked very hard cultivating its walled garden and it isn't going to let a bunch of creators ruin its pristine utopia with nudity, depictions of sweatshops, nudity (again), swearing, topical commentary, competitive apps and the ancient art of intricate lovemaking.
Once again, Apple has decided to arbitrarily boot more content out of its garden, expressing its concern that things might be getting a little too sexy for its apparent target audience of schoolchildren who have never browsed the internet.
Reports are coming in that the digital comics distributor Izneo has had to radically prune their catalog or face banishment from iTunes.Like other Apple takedown requests, this one arrived with no warning and no clear indication as to what content Apple felt was inappropriate and should be removed.
Izneo has been selling digital comics on the iPad since they released an iPad app in mid-2010, and they successfully built a catalog of over 4000 French and Belgian titles.
Everything was going fine until late Friday night when one of Apple's censors noticed that Izneo sold adult comics. And since Apple clearly cannot allow their precious iPad to be sullied by salacious content, the censor gave Izneo 30 hours to remove all adult comics.
IDBoox broke the story earlier today, and they report that Izneo had absolutely no warning that there was a problem or guidance as to which titles needed to be removed. All they were reportedly told by Apple was that the adult content had to go, so Izneo drastically pruned any comic that showed a breast, cleavage, and even ones with characters evoking a suggestive gesture.In order to comply with this incredibly vague request, Izneo immediately pulled 2,800 of its 4,000 titles. After a more in-depth review of its content, Izneo restored about half of what it had dumped, bringing it back up to 2,500. That's still 1,500 titles pulled because Apple said, "Jump," and couldn't even be bothered to specify how high.
Now, Izneo is stuck in a bit of a bind. It can abide by Apple's ethereal "guidelines" and hope that it doesn't need to remove even more titles. Or, it can start looking at a few options to get around the walled garden while still remaining somewhat ensconced. Nate Hoffelder suggests it switch to an HTML-5 reading app, or better yet, simply stop selling titles from within the app. This will allow Izneo to avoid Apple's app censoring while also bypassing the "opportunity" to toss 30% of the in-app purchase Apple's way.
As long as Apple is going to continue to behave like a stern parent in need of mood stabilizers, app developers and content creators are going to find themselves on the receiving end of vague missives like these. Apple is, of course, welcome to run its business however it sees fit, but every story like this serves as a warning to developers: if you want to play in Apple's garden, you'll have to abide by the nebulous, arbitrary rules. Apple has stated that if game developers want to handle serious issues (like the Syrian War), they should write a book instead. What is it going to tell comic book creators whose artwork veers into adult areas? Fire up the keyboard and turn those pictures into 1,000 words?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - CNN's Editor-at-Large Chris Cillizza posted on Twitter, and then deleted, a picture of President Donald Trump in what looked like crosshairs, a shooting target.
Cillizza said that the image was tweeted by mistake because of a mix up with the program used to generate it. That is a plausible explanation and I have no idea whether it is true or not.
What I do know is that some in the media are getting more and more violent in their language toward the Trump administration. The hypocrisy runs pretty deep because this happens on the same outlets where you often hear complaints about the rhetoric used by the president and his administration.
Last week an MSNBC anchor, Nicolle Wallace, asked a top NBC political reporter how she could resist the temptation to wring the neck of press secretary Sarah Sanders. Wallace apologized, but even the apology was couched in an attack on the way Sarah Sanders does her job.
A CNN analyst, April Ryan, is in the White House briefing room every day and often spars with press secretary Sanders, which is fine. What's not fine is that Ryan recently suggested on Twitter that she was going to get in a "street fight" with Sarah after she did not like the way the press secretary responded to her from the podium.
Here is the bottom line: whether CNN's Chris Cillizza tweeted a picture of President Trump in the middle of a target by mistake or not, that tweet is representative of an overall anger and unacceptable violent attitude toward the president and his team by those who are supposed to be bringing us the news.

Theory of Noise are a heavy rock outfit from Merchantville, New Jersey. These hard-rocking Jersey boys have a sound that's more old school than a lot of the nu metal, emo, and grindcore played by heavy bands these days. We were particularly impressed by the hooky metal riffery on "Cradle," which you can check out in this cool video clip that shows Theory of Noise at their most rock-outingest.

Jay-Z's Occupy T-Shirts Back Up on Rocawear Website
Jay-Z's controversial "Occupy All Streets" T-shirts are back occupying Rocawear's online store. The much-maligned tees were removed from the website Saturday morning (Nov. 12) but are now available for $22 in sizes medium to 2XL.
Rocawear have been receiving a lot of flack over the cotton tees by the media and fans. Some people are questioning if the company's CEO Jay-Z, who is obviously a member of the wealthiest 1 percent, is profiting off the Occupy Wall Street movement (aka 99 per centers).
OWS supporter Russell Simmons has come to Hov's defense stating that the rap mogul has never made an official announcement about where the money was going.
Jay-Z and Rocawear has not responded to the media regarding their T-shirt, as of yet. According to clothing label's website, the shirts are on back order but are scheduled to ship on Dec. 16, just in time to fill those Christmas stockings.
Hopefully, Rocawear will figure out a way to donate the money responsibly to the OWS protesters. It would be a good gesture on Jay-Z's part and will simmer down the controversy over his garment.
What do you think about Jay-Z's "Occupy All Street" shirts? Tell us in the comments below.

China's August inflation eases as economy recovers
BEIJING (AP) — China's August inflation edged down as an economic recovery gathered strength, easing pressure on communist leaders who want to focus on longer-term reforms.
Consumer prices rose 2.6 percent, down from July's 2.7 percent, government data showed Monday. Food prices rose 4.7 percent, down from the previous month's 5 percent.
Slower price rises and improved economic activity could allow Chinese leaders to shift attention from propping up weak growth to work on longer-term reforms to make the economy more efficient and productive.
Communist leaders are trying to nurture more self-sustaining growth driven by domestic consumption instead of trade and investment. They have backtracked in some areas to perk up growth with more spending on railway construction and other limited measures but have resisted pressure for a more ambitious stimulus.
Economic growth declined to a two-decade low of 7.5 percent in the second quarter but trade, factory output, auto sales and other indicators suggest the slowdown is leveling out.
"A number of data points suggest that economic activity is picking up," said Alaistair Chan of Moody's Analytics in a report. "These factors suggest that the government will not loosen monetary policy further."
Export growth accelerated to 7.2 percent in August from July's 5.1 percent.
Also in August, producer prices, or prices of goods as they leave the factory, that have declined steadily for more than a year fell less sharply. That was another sign economic activity and demand are picking up.
Producer prices declined 1.6 percent compared with July's 2.5 percent fall.
"The decline in producer prices is easing as commodity prices and the wider economy recover," said Matthew Circosta of Moody's Analytics. "A revival in production and fixed investment is placing upward pressure on mining, raw materials and manufactured goods prices."

Posted on March 14, 2014
It was really just a moment of nostalgia. A SECOND massive collection of Easy Listening records came in (which gives you TWO chances to pick up some of these albums by Horst Jankowski or Bert Kaempfert.) This collection included a number of what we call "Spoken Word Recordings". I don't know where the term comes from, but it means, of course, a record where people talk instead of singing.
And here, among the political speeches recorded on vinyl (several unwrapped, I was pleased to see), was a record by a performer I have thought about only occasionally in the, ahem, decades since one of my high school teachers used to play for us. He used cassettes, if you remember anything so low tech. Oh, right, I lost that crowd at "records".
I was also shown a videotape of one of his talks when I was in college. So he was known beyond my high school. But never a book nor an LP by him had I seen at the Book Fair. (Once in a great while there'd be a cassette.) If I had ever thought about it—which I didn't—I might have assumed it was either because he was known only in Iowa, he was a limited phenomenon whose vogue passed about the same time as bell bottoms disappeared, or he was so beloved that nobody ever let the sacred words slip from the collection.
Now I am told that the record I held in my hands was a late pressing of the very first Spoken Word Recording to win a gold record. Never thought about THAT, either. If I had given it any thought, I might have guessed Bill Cosby or Vaughn Meader or maybe Myron Cohen. Nope. That honor goes to a motivational bestseller called "The Strangest Secret" by the one and only Earl Nightingale.
Earl Nightingale found himself while reading the immortal Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which you should have read about in an earlier blog. He decided that the secret of success was all around us, in the writings of great leaders, but that we had missed it somehow. Telling people about this led to a career on WGN and, in 1956, that bestselling album. (He followed this with an LP which presented a condensed version of Think and Grow Rich; he wasn't shy about his predecessors since part of the point was that the real winners had ALL thought of this before.)
The producer of that first record was Evanstonian Lloyd Conant. (So it was a Midwestern phenomenon; I got that right anyhow.) When the record took wing, the Nightingale-Conant Corporation was founded to produce its successors and, later, all those cassettes. I presume they also handled some merchandising, since the three copies of "The Strangest Secret" which turned up in this collection were given out by a Midwestern starch company. I have turned up no copies of this version for sale online: you might want to make a note on your calendar to rush down and snap them all up to resell on eBay.
OR you could look up the Nightingale-Conant Corporation and order a CD. OR you can hear the lecture on YouTube. OR, for all I know, you can download it from iTunes. You didn't think Earl Nightingale (who passed beyond the rose in 1989) would let technology develop without him, did you? It's not the winner's way.
