Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare degenerative neurological disorder characterized by loss of balance and impaired walking; loss of control of voluntary eye movement, especially in the downward direction; abnormal muscle tone (rigidity); speech difficulties (dysarthria); and problems related to swallowing and eating (dysphagia). Affected individuals frequently experience personality changes and cognitive impairment. Symptoms typically begin after age 60 but can begin earlier. The exact cause of progressive supranuclear palsy is unknown. PSP is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, or other neurodegenerative disorders.

Once upon a time in Newport, California, there was a video premiere. But it was not just any video premiere. Oh no, it was far from that. This premiere was for Burton's new video, 13. And when Burton does something, you know it's going to be good.
Before the movie kicked off at the Lido Theater, Burton through a little pre-premiere party at their SoCal showroom in Costa Mesa. This party was tight. There were pros, bros, babes, and beers. You really can't go wrong when you have those things. Once all of the above were tapped out, it was time to make the mile treck to the Lido Theater in downtown Newport to watch some killer snowboarding.
The movie kicks off with Mikkel Bang. It's hard to believe that Mikkel is only 22, because he's been in the mix for so long. He has fully stepped up his snowboarding, and proves that he fully deserves to be where he is. His part is sick. No spoilers here though. If you want to know what he did, you're going to have to watch it.
Other standout parts of 13 are Zak Hale, Ethan Deiss, and the winch. Mark Sollors and Terje Haakonsen also have really sick parts. It's crazy that Terje is still shredding as hard as he is after all of these years. He's an inspiration.
In all actuality though, the craziest part about 13 is the fact that Jussi Oksansen and Jeremy Jones are still killing it as hard as they are. Age has not slowed these dudes down at all. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say that right now, both of these guys are producing some of the heaviest parts of their respective careers. And neither of them have last part. No hints here on who has it though. Well, here's one hint. You won't guess who it is.
If you enjoy snowboarding, you will enjoy Burton's 13. So just do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Violence across Iraq killed nearly 1,000 people in October, the United Nations said Friday, as the world body's representative there called on leaders to take bold action to stop the "current mayhem" gripping the country.
Car bombings, shootings and other attacks have been on the rise all year, intensifying fears that widespread sectarian conflict again may overwhelm the country. Widespread chaos nearly tore the country apart in the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein in 2003.
The bloodshed accelerated sharply after a deadly April 23 crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in a northern Iraqi town. That set off near-daily attacks, mostly by Sunni extremists and al-Qaida militants determined to undermine the country's Shiite-led government.
U.N. mission chief Nickolay Mladenov, as the body announced the figures, simply said: "Indiscriminate violence is constant."
"Every day, every week, every month dozens, if not hundreds of innocent Iraqis are killed or deeply wounded," he said. "This is senseless."
The U.N.'s report said 979 people were killed in October — the same number as in September. Out of those, 852 were civilians while 127 were Iraqi soldiers and members of the police force.
Also, the U.N. said 1,902 Iraqis were wounded in attacks across the country last month — a drop of more than 200 from September, when 2,133 Iraqi were wounded.
Baghdad was the worst affected province, with 411 killed and 925 wounded. It was followed by the volatile Ninevah province, where 188 people were killed and 294 were wounded.
Ammar Ibrahim, a Sunni in northern Baghdad, said that the number of deadly attacks will grow in number unless the Iraq politicians stop caring only about their personal ambitions.
"The solution for Iraq's insecurity will never be a military one. Violence will stop when government senior officials understand that the Iraqis are more important than posts or elections," he said.
On Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned in Washington that terrorists "got a second chance" to thrive in Iraq, largely as the result of the rise of al-Qaida fighters in neighboring Syria's civil war. He said the world needs to help Iraq deal with its deadly insurgency.
During a meeting in Washington on Friday, Al-Maliki is expected to appeal to President Barrack Obama for more U.S. assistance, including weapons and intelligence help, in order to defeat the growing insurgency in Iraq.
Yassir Mohammed, a Shiite government employee in eastern Baghdad, said that al-Maliki is mainly in Washington in order to get the U.S.' approval to run for a third term.
Mohammed also said that al-Maliki's refusal to grant legal immunity for U.S. forces was a "grave mistake" committed by al-Maliki. Nearly two years ago, his government refused to let U.S. forces remain in Iraq with legal immunity that the Obama administration insisted was necessary to protect troops.
"Everybody, except al-Maliki and his government, knew at that time that Iraqi security forces are helpless in front of the powerful terrorist groups," Mohammed said.
Violence in Iraq raged on Friday. Gunmen opened fire on a security checkpoint in the northern city of Mosul, killing one soldier and one civilian passer-by, police officials said. Also in Mosul, a soldier was killed and three were wounded when a roadside bomb struck their convoy, authorities said.
A hospital official confirmed the death toll for both attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists.

At Gallery Weekend in Berlin, Rarely Seen Work by German Conceptual Artist Hanne Darboven
Each paper sheet: 31,8x22,9 cm
German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven filtered her experience of life through time, an entity at once abstract and concrete, much like her own work. Driven by her belief that time is the essence of our existence, she structured her work around it, drawing upon an acute sense of tempo and repetition honed by her training as a pianist. Darboven created innumerable individually framed or bound pages filled with delicately handwritten numbers, mathematical calculations, calendar days, and philosophical passages, sometimes combined with shades of color, images, and objects. Often displayed as installations, wrapping around walls in methodically patterned, gridded formations that would resolve into individual words and numbers up-close, Darboven's work served as both the visualization of data and a sweeping temporal record of historical events and her own artistic labor, carried out, like clockwork, over the course of her life.
German, 1941-2009, Munich, Germany, based in Hamburg, Germany

Thanks for the recent article highlighting two businesses that are working to provide healthier food choices in Baltimore ("Two city stores move to close health gap," June 18).
I work in the office complex next to Apples & Oranges, one of the highlighted businesses, and have the luxury of being able to purchase lunch once or twice a week when I am at the office.
Until the opening of Apples & Oranges, there weren't great options in the area, only McDonald's, Wendy's and Subway. I know enough about nutrition that I can make good choices at these restaurants, but I would prefer to have a freshly made turkey sandwich or pick up some yogurt and fruit salad at Apples & Oranges.
For a while I've wondered if this type of store could survive in this location. It was empty a few times when I was there. But lately I've seen more and more customers, many with children, shopping in the store. I've seen carts full of healthier options. The other day I heard a request for fresh raspberries (they were out, but there were some great blueberries on sale). So I am hopeful.
The staff at Apples & Oranges goes out of its way to make one welcome. I remarked to a co-worker the other day that I had more people say hello to me during my quick 10-minute visit to Apples & Oranges than I had all day.
The produce is fresh, and the shelves are stocked with a variety of interesting and healthful products. The store is clean and well laid out. I hope more people will stop by to check it out. And I hope that Michele Speaks-March will be there to provide shopping and budgeting tips.
I don't know if your article will get folks along North Avenue into the store to shop, but I do know that I will be going back. Whether for lunch or to pick up a few items at the end of the day, I want to see this store stick around to make a difference in a community that deserves better than a corner store full of junk food.
Thanks for highlighting the efforts of the March family to make this corner of Baltimore City a better place.
Lisa Mathias, Baltimore

Every 50 years, it seems, this section of Worcester needs to renew itself.
In the early 1960s, urban renewal was all the rage, and this block and the area around it was ripe for change. Pictured here in 1952, this neighborhood was already seeing changes as officials grappled with outdated traffic patterns. Cars parked in different directions speak to the confusion brought on by a city council directive changing the one-way nature of the street.
But within just five years of when this photo was taken, the buildings pictured here fell to the wrecking ball over a clear-cutting of the city's downtown.
The demolition was part of a larger project that, once the buildings were gone, found a commercial enterprise willing to build something new in its place. The plan called for a commercial center, a motel, several office buildings, a gas station and other structures for the site.
Hint: That optimistic plan was only partly realized: The view of one side of this street now includes only parking lots.

Da08104 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 785 designs submitted by 148 freelance designers.
We are ladies fashion shoe brand, making inexpensive heels, pumps, boots and sandals. The company is all about fashion. Our shoes are bright, flashy, sometimes sexy at mid-price level.
The majority of our customers are young women (18...35 yo), looking for the fashion trends though on a budget. They read Cosmo-like fashion magazines and live according to these trends.
We are looking for a logo represent our style of shoes, suitable for various implementations:
1) shoe box is one of the most important implementations
2) outsoles - the logo might be stamped on one-color outsole and be readable and recognizable
3) zipper lock. A small logo or a part of it has to be well-recognizable
4) woven labels - the logo should not be too thin as it might be stitched sometimes
5) various shop displays, lightened signboards etc
We would prefer to have bright colors in the logo. We would like to look Italian, but please do not use Italian flag colors for this, it is too common.
Being too fancy may not be good, though. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
As I realized, too many designers try to use an image of a shoe in the logo. Please understand the logo often will be seen on a shoe itself (insole, outsole), shoe box and other clearly shoe-related items. Make sure, your shoe-on-shoe design will look good in such cases. Having some easy recognizable shoe profile is a nice idea, though.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A prosecutor says charges will be dropped against a third officer involved in a struggle that led to the death of a homeless man during an arrest in California.
The decision came Monday after two Fullerton police officers were acquitted of killing Kelly Thomas.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas (ruh-KOW-kuhs) said former Fullerton officer Joseph Wolfe would no longer face charges of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.
Former Cpl. Jay Cicinelli (chih-chih-NELL'-ee) was acquitted of those same two counts. Former Officer Manuel Ramos was acquitted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
Wolfe had been awaiting a separate trial. Three other officers involved in the July 2011 confrontation with Thomas were not charged.

Michael Vick has a rib cartilage injury between his second and third rib and his status this week is uncertain. LeSean McCoy broke a rib and may also be unavailable.
On Vick, Reid said, "The cartilage looks like it's cracked there a little bit." He said the bones were not broken.
Vick was sore today, Reid said, and is going to be "day to day, week to week."
"If he is as sore as he is today," then Kevin Kolb will be with the first team for Wednesday's practice, Reid said.
"We'll see how (Vick) feels and how he does along the way," Reid said.
Reid said Kolb "did some good things and has some things he has to work on."
McCoy cracked a rib in the second quarter, Reid said. The running back played the rest of the game, and Reid said it is possible he could play Sunday.
"It's really a comfort thing and they're doing a couple other tests on him," Reid said.
He said the team is fortunate to have Mike Bell as a back up, though Bell has made little impact in his few appearances so far this season.
Reid continued to take the blame for the delay of game penalty at the end of the first half, though he also implied that he was unhappy with the referees.
"It's completely my responsibility there," Reid said to open his press conference. But later, when asked what he might have done differently, he said, "I would love to tell you everything, but I'm not going to do that, that would be an expensive answer."
He added, "I'm taking it as my fault."
Reid also took the blame for his team's penalties -- roughly 80 yards per game, including several costly ones Sunday.
"I take a lot of pride in having a disciplined, hard nosed football team and eight penalties for 80 yards is obviously too much," Reid said.
Asked specifically about $60 million signing Jason Peters, who now has five penalties after adding two Sunday, Reid deflected a question about being disappointed.
"He's working his tail off, that's the first thing. These aren't penalties that are loafing penalties or he's s not moving his feet, or he's tired, that's not what these are," Reid said. He later added, "If he weren't trying hard and didn't have the effort there might be disappointment there."

The Chicago Fire kick off a two-day, four-team international tournament on Wednesday where they will welcome Legia Warsaw, Paris Saint-Germain and Red Star Beldgrade. The Fire want to continue to grow the game of soccer in the Chicagoland area and see benefits for this tournament not only for the club but also for the fans.
"There is a lot of benefits to the club, the players and the city. For the players it's always exciting to play against high level teams. These teams have players that are well known. It's good to test yourself against some of the better teams in the world. For the club, you are still branding the name of The Fire around the world and for the city, the city is rich in soccer tradition, it's an opportunity for some of the soccer fans to watch high level soccer. This is something we want to build on", said Frank Klopas, Chicago Fire Technical Director.
Veteran Brian McBride went on to say, "It gives us an opportunity to give some guys some games, some experience against some quality teams. It also gives our fans a chance to see teams from around the world.

I used them both before I came to France, and I found them absolutely fantastic. They're quite focused on grammar, but I think that's what you probably need - it's easier to pick up the vocab if you're already in-country, but the grammar is harder to get to grips with passively IMO.

WEBSTER � The two families living in 60 School St., a three-unit building that was condemned for a host of reasons, have vacated, Town Administrator John F. McAuliffe said Wednesday.
The town will pay for up to four nights' lodging for the displaced families, as it has done in similar situations, Mr. McAuliffe said.
On Tuesday, building and health officials went to the building because of a complaint that it lacked hot water.
The officials said they discovered that a fuel oil leak in the basement had contaminated the grounds and caused fumes to enter an apartment.
Also cited in the condemnation order were the absence of available hot water; temporary wiring throughout the building; a rotting and deteriorating floor at the entry of the building; exits and egresses blocked by debris, making it a fire hazard; and no working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
The state Department of Environmental Protection is instructing building owner Robert J. Marino of Uxbridge on whom to contact to clean up the basement, officials said.
Mr. Marino could not be reached for a comment Wednesday.
According to the town, oil had spilled onto the dirt floor of the basement, and when the water table rose, this created a water and oil sheen that looked like a large spill, along with a "horrible" odor.
The Board of Health had posted an emergency condemnation meeting for today, but it was canceled because of the condemnation action taken by Building Inspector Theodore Tetreault III.
The building is being marketed for sale on various real estate websites.

One of the most surprising, and perhaps confounding, facts of charity in America is that the people who can least afford to give are the ones who donate the greatest percentage of their income. In 2011, the wealthiest Americans—those with earnings in the top 20 percent—contributed on average 1.3 percent of their income to charity. By comparison, Americans at the base of the income pyramid—those in the bottom 20 percent—donated 3.2 percent of their income. The relative generosity of lower-income Americans is accentuated by the fact that, unlike middle-class and wealthy donors, most of them cannot take advantage of the charitable tax deduction, because they do not itemize deductions on their income-tax returns.
But why? Lower-income Americans are presumably no more intrinsically generous (or "prosocial," as the sociologists say) than anyone else. However, some experts have speculated that the wealthy may be less generous—that the personal drive to accumulate wealth may be inconsistent with the idea of communal support. Last year, Paul Piff, a psychologist at UC Berkeley, published research that correlated wealth with an increase in unethical behavior: "While having money doesn't necessarily make anybody anything," Piff later told New York magazine, "the rich are way more likely to prioritize their own self-interests above the interests of other people." They are, he continued, "more likely to exhibit characteristics that we would stereotypically associate with, say, assholes." Colorful statements aside, Piff's research on the giving habits of different social classes—while not directly refuting the asshole theory—suggests that other, more complex factors are at work. In a series of controlled experiments, lower-income people and people who identified themselves as being on a relatively low social rung were consistently more generous with limited goods than upper-class participants were. Notably, though, when both groups were exposed to a sympathy-eliciting video on child poverty, the compassion of the wealthier group began to rise, and the groups' willingness to help others became almost identical.

Designed to exceed expectations and ideal for video and still images alike, the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM marks a new standard for EF-S lenses. It features a refined Image Stabilization system that delivers up to four equivalent stops of shake correction throughout the zoom range; and offers a maximum magnification of 0.28x at the telephoto end, while remaining even more compact in size. This EF-S lens supports the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR's Movie Servo AF feature for smooth and quiet continuous AF during movie shooting by utilizing a new six-group zoom system and the adoption of a stepping motor and focus mechanism. High-speed autofocus is achieved thanks to an Inner focusing system, high-speed CPU, and optimized AF algorithm. Appearing for the first time in a Canon lens is Dynamic IS (Movie Shooting Mode only) that uses a wide image stabilization correction range to help ensure steady video while shooting when walking.
Whether shooting movies or stills, image quality is phenomenal, with one UD and one PMo aspheric lens providing high resolution and high contrast images with reduced chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range. A 7 blade, circular aperture ensures beautiful, soft backgrounds and optimized lens coatings ensure excellent color with minimized ghosting and flare. A zoom ring lock even prevents the lens from accidently extending.

Any Brief Information On Medication Onglyza?
Please provide brief info about new medication ONGLYZA. Is it sumilar to any other? How does it work and what advantages (disadvantages) it has.Thanks.
You can search for drug information at the FDA. These instructions will guide your search. The generic (chemical) name is saxagliptin. It is similar to another drug sitagliptin (brand name Januvia). Both act by increasing the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas. Advantages and disadvantages should be considered in the context of all other alternatives with a health care professional familiar with your overall situation.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The United Kingdom and Germany have reopened their embassies in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, after being closed for about two weeks due to a terrorism threat.
U.K. Ambassador Jane Marriott said in a statement Sunday that she and her team were "glad to be back and working in Yemen after this brief hiatus." The German embassy posted a statement on its website Sunday saying it had reopened.
The U.S. closed 19 of its diplomatic missions in the Middle East and Africa after it intercepted a message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and Yemen's al-Qaida offshoot about plans for a major attack. The U.S. has reopened all the posts expect its Sanaa embassy.
Associated Press writer Maamoun Youssef in Cairo contributed to this report.

A devoted daughter will be making a moonlight fundraising effort in memory of her dad - to support Chesterfield-based Ashgate Hospice.
Elaine Topham of Whittington, Chesterfield, will join hundreds in Chesterfield on Saturday, June 21, for the hospice's Moonlight Miles event. She aims to raise £500 for the hospice where her dad Bertie died four months ago.
Bertie became ill on a family holiday in Turkey with back pain and flu-like symptoms.
She said: "We all noticed a change in my dad - he was really tired, grey-looking and had lost his appetite."
Doctors diagnosed that Bertie had cancer in his spine - he became bed-bound and the cancer spread to his neck and throat.
Bertie, 67, was admitted to Ashgate Hospice for six weeks while he underwent radiotherapy. Elaine said: "We can't thank the staff enough for how they looked after Dad. They were wonderful, especially over Christmas. The staff have been so supportive and helpful to the family."
Just weeks after returning home, Bertie's condition deteriorated and he was re-admitted to Ashgate where he died on February 11, three months after his diagnosis.
Elaine added: "Ashgate was where my dad wanted to be. All his family was around him and we didn't leave his side. The hospice is amazing. They have such caring, friendly, supporting staff and without them my family would have been lost."
Elaine is doing the 10-mile Moonlight Miles which starts and finishes at the Proact Stadium.
Support Elaine by donating via JustGiving page http://www.justgiving.com/Elaine-Topham.
Moonlight Miles - previously known as the Midnight Walk - involves a run or walk on a new ten mile or 6.5mile route.
It starts and finishes at Chesterfield FC's Proact Stadium from 10pm, on June 21.
Those interested in taking part in the Moonlight Miles and raising money for Ashgate Hospice can register online at www.ashgatehospice.org or call Ashgate Hospice fund raising team on 01246 567250 for details.
The entry fee is just £12.50.

Seniors Look to Finish Strong
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 4 Yale men's squash team will wrap up the regular season this week with matches against No. 18 Brown, No. 8 Dartmouth and No. 3 Harvard.
Yale is currently 9-2 with a 3-1 record in the Ivy League, having fallen to the nation's top two teams, Princeton and Trinity. In their most recent match on Feb. 3, the Bulldogs defeated No. 12 Penn by a score of 6-3. Seniors Kenneth Chan, Hywel Robinson (the team's captain) and Richard Dodd led the team to victory, winning their matches at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
To open the week of competition, the Bulldogs will host Brown on Wednesday. The Bears (7-7, 0-4 Ivy) began the season with wins over No. 20 Wesleyan, No. 33 MIT, No. 24 Colby and No. 25 Connecticut College but have struggled against Ivy League opponents. When Brown hosted Yale last season, the Bulldogs came away with a 9-0 victory.
Following the Brown match, Yale will start the weekend with another home match against Dartmouth. The Big Green is 6-6 on the season and 2-2 in the Ivy League, with wins over No. 12 Penn and No. 11 Columbia.
Finally, on Sunday the team will travel to Cambridge, Mass., for a high-stakes matchup against No. 3 Harvard. The Crimson boasts the nation's top player, junior Ali Farag of Egypt, who is undefeated through 24 collegiate matches. The team is 13-1 with a 4-1 Ivy record, its only loss this season coming on Jan. 13 to reigning national champion Princeton. The match will be Yale's final opportunity to move up in the national rankings before the CSA Team Championships.
Wednesday's match against Brown will be played at 6 p.m., while the match against Dartmouth, originally scheduled for noon, is now at 10:00 a.m. Friday. Both matches will be held in the Brady Squash Center.
Yale's match against Harvard has been rescheduled for Feb. 18.

Market overview
Epoxy resins: Market overview
Updated to Q4 2018
Supply is expected to be unchanged in the quarter as there is no upcoming plant maintenance scheduled during the quarter. There is also no sign that the Chinese government will ease its environmental regulations. As a result, many epoxy resins plants in China have been shut since early 2017.
Demand for epoxy resins is expected to pick up in the quarter amid year-end restocking activities. In particular, Japan is seeing strong demand for epoxy resins amid tight domestic supply. Demand in China is also expected to improve as downstream plants are looking to resume operations following unplanned maintenance in the third quarter due to environmental checks.
As Q4 is traditionally a slower period for epoxy resins, supply could remain consistent until the end of the year. There are no scheduled shutdowns as European producers hope to counter previously lower prices against higher production costs. Q4 import availability remains unclear, but if volumes remain at the same sort of levels, the market could continue to feel long.
Uncertainty clouds expectations for Q4. Although activity traditionally slows towards the end of the year, enquiries increased in the final weeks of 2017. Demand is tipped to be stable throughout October and November. The situation may change before Christmas, buyers hoping to evade a shortage may support increased productivity.
Supply should continue to remain adequate in the fourth quarter as the pace of imports coming into the US remains steady, giving buyers flexibility with their sourcing. But Asia will remain a wild card as higher feedstock costs and a pickup in seasonal demand could yield upward pressure there, making less imported material readily available.
US peak demand will wind down during the fourth quarter in line with seasonality. Market players expect prices to remain steady, with nothing on the horizon that could significantly move prices in either direction. Supply and demand are largely expected to remain balanced for the rest of the year barring any unusual developments.

Epoxy Resins Methodology
About Epoxy resins
Epoxy resins are high-performance thermosetting resins that are most commonly produced by reaction of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A (BPA). They have excellent adhesion, chemical and heat resistance, and very good electrical insulating properties.
The main applications for epoxy resins are high-performance coatings, electrical/electronic laminates and adhesives, flooring and paving applications with uses in the automotive, construction and aerospace industries.
Coating applications include powder coatings, marine and protective coatings, can and coil coatings, ultra violet (UV) curable coatings and automotive coatings. The construction industry uses epoxy resins because of their excellent adhesion to steel and concrete. In the electronics sector, they can be used to encapsulate electronic components. A growth area is high-performance composites in the aerospace industry.

Deans hopeful about Pocock return
ROBBIE Deans remains hopeful of getting champion flanker David Pocock on the paddock for the final game of the Wallabies' European tour against Wales in Cardiff next weekend.
Pocock has been struggling with a calf strain which has delayed his long-awaited comeback.
The number seven was expected to return in the second Test of the tour against England at Twickenham but suffered a setback training in Paris the week before.
Deans says it's so far so good for Pocock, who hasn't played since he suffered knee ligament damage in the Wallabies' opening Bledisloe Cup match with New Zealand in August. "He's been running this week and hopefully he'll be available to us next week," Deans said.
"We're just being precautionary and I guess we've got the luxury of being able to do that.

It's hard to picture Paul McCartney — one of history's most celebrated songwriters, a figure of incalculable importance to modern music and pop culture — fretting over anything, least of all filling arena seats. But as NPR's Robert Siegel discovered, a few circumstances can still make the ex-Beatle sweat.
McCartney's latest solo album, New, is out Tuesday. He recently spoke with Siegel about historical revisionists, dividing his new songs among four superstar producers, and why a little insecurity can be a successful artist's best friend. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read more of their conversation below.
I want to ask you about a particular song on New called "Early Days." Tell me about this one.
So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger. There's so much being written [about] the early Beatles period, and even pre-Beatles period. And people will say, "Oh, he did that because that, and that happened because of that." And I'll be reading and think, "Well, that didn't happen" and, "That's not why I did that." Like anyone's history, you remember what went down better than people who weren't there. So I started off with this song — just a nostalgic trip, really. I was remembering John and I in Liverpool as young boys, walking down the street, dressed in black, guitars slung across our backs, trying to get people to listen to our music. Or we'd be in the record shop, listening to new records. All these experiences were in the song. And then I got to the last verse and I thought, "That's all very well, me telling everyone how all this went down, but there are a lot of people who are going to say, 'Well, no — I know what really happened.' "
Listening to this song, I had this image of you as a young man in Liverpool — and then I realized that the sound of the song had me thinking of Austin, Texas, or Nashville [Tenn.]. And the reason that I didn't feel any conflict or any dissonance is because of what you and John did to music 40, 50 years ago: breaking down all kinds of barriers and creating something universal.
People used to ask us, "What kind of music do you like?" And it was like, "American." We listened to a lot of black American music — Motown, particularly, and Stax and Chess. What was fascinating about it was, we would do cover versions — like, "Twist and Shout" was originally by The Isley Brothers. A lot of people think we wrote that song, and I go to great pains to say, "No, no, no. That was the Isleys. They're our heroes." A lot of the white audience that we were appealing to in the '60s hadn't heard this music, so they got introduced to it through us. And of lot of the guys whose music it was would later thank us: "It sounds great, man! I'd forgotten that song 'Money.' " So, it worked all around. They were very happy that we were doing it; we were very happy that they were such a beautiful, strong inspiration; and suddenly, you found barriers were coming down all around you. People were mixing country, blues, R&B, soul, vaudeville. It was all sort of going into this kind of bag.
Is it true that for New, you had four different producers?
I was looking for someone I could do the whole album with, and I thought the best way to do that is, work with some people that I admire and see if one of them jumps out. But in working with the four people — it was Paul Epworth, who's most famous for his work with Adele; Mark Ronson, very famous for his work with Amy Winehouse; Ethan Johns, who did Kings of Leon and Ryan Adams; and then George Martin's son, Giles Martin, who's best known for the work that he did with The Beatles on the show Cirque du Soleil put together in Las Vegas, the Love show. I worked with all of them and decided that I loved them all and didn't want to choose one of them. So I just continued working and did a few tracks with each one.
The worry became, is this going to be a sort of patchwork quilt of an album, and not have the cohesion that I would like it to have? But then I remembered a lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one. So I thought, "You know what? There's a precedent here, and this is a good thing." So I just got on with it.
But the original intent had been to have one?
Yeah, it had. With the Beatles, we'd been very spoiled because we had George Martin, who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together. We'd throw at him these crazy ideas; he'd throw crazy ideas at us. He was the one who suggested I add a song called "Yesterday," and he suggested that there should be a string quartet on that. And I said, "No, no, no, no, no. We're a rock 'n' roll band. We can't put a string quartet on it." He said, "Bear with me, Paul." Of course, I heard it and just loved it.
Once the Beatles broke up and I didn't have that one producer anymore, I would still work with George and enjoy working with him. As he got to the point where he was going to retire, which he did, [I began to] produce a lot myself; by then, I had learned the game. But for this record, I wanted someone I could throw an idea, like we did with George. So that was the idea: trying to find one producer who would replace George, but in actual fact it turned out to be four.
There's another song from New, "Alligator," that seems to come from a frustrated place. What's up here?
I was talking to someone the other day about this: It seems to me that no matter how famous [you are], no matter how accomplished or how many awards you get, you're always still thinking there's somebody out there who's better than you. I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record and I think, "Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me." It's a very common thing.
I'll accept this as a very common thing, as I've heard from any number of illustrious professors — or broadcasters, for that matter — the fear, "I'll be found out." But, Sir Paul McCartney: You have had success in so many dimensions of music. You really feel a competitive insecurity with somebody else that's coming out with a record?
Unfortunately, yes. One thing that's good about it is, I think it's a good motivator. It keeps you hungry. I think the minute you're full up and have had enough to eat, then that's time to retire. But I agree with you — I should be able to look at my accolades and go, "Come on, Paul. That's enough." But there's still this little voice in the back of my brain that goes, "No, no, no. You could do better. This person over here is excelling. Try harder!" It still can be a little bit intimidating.
These days, if you do a live performance, you must know by now that for the people in the audience, it doesn't matter what you do. The fact that they're seeing you perform at that moment will be sufficient. Do you get nervous? Do you feel any anxiety about, "Will they really hear what I'm doing here and appreciate what I've got?"
I don't get too nervous these days, I must say. I'm much better. I have tricks. I will say to my promoter, "Look, just put one show on sale." He'd say, "We could do two or three, maybe, in this city." I'd say, "Just put one on sale and let me know how it goes." So he'll ring me back and he'll say, "Wow! Sold out Chicago, six minutes!" I'd say, "Now you can put the second show on." I'm quite careful that way. I do like to know that I'm wanted. I'll go to that show that sold out in six minutes, and I will know that those 30,000 people there are superkeen to see me.
I recently did a show in Las Vegas called "I Heart Radio" — it was Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, me. It's a great show to do; we were all very excited. But when we got on, it was not like those people were all there to see me. And someone said later, "You know, that was no one's audience. That wasn't Justin's audience, it wasn't Bruno's, it wasn't Miley's, it wasn't yours. It was nobody's." And then someone reminded me, this is Las Vegas: When you check into a hotel, you get complimentary tickets to all the shows if your room's big enough. So suddenly, you realize you're playing to those people who are actually just working out when they're going to get to the casino. That can be a little nerve-wracking, because you're spoiled with your own audience, and now they're not reacting in the same way. So those little insecurities come in. But generally, when it's my own audience, we have a lot of fun. It's where we're a family.
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel, and this is something that I've been waiting to say for years: Here's a man who needs no introduction.
PAUL MCCARTNEY: Hi.
SIEGEL: Paul McCartney, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
MCCARTNEY: Well, thank you for the introduction.
SIEGEL: I should say, you're here because of a new album of original songs, which is named - fittingly - "New." Let's hear a bit of the title track, which is "New."
SIEGEL: Then we were new.
MCCARTNEY: Yes, sir.
SIEGEL: Who are we, by the way?
MCCARTNEY: We - that's me and my wife. That's Nancy. It was written shortly after we got together. I was just sitting at my piano, late at night. And yeah, I was missing her. She was away. She was in New York, and I was in England. So this was my way of bringing us together.
SIEGEL: I've read that you're always writing songs. Is there a - the old image was a trunk. I guess it's now - is there a hard drive or something, is there some store of Paul McCartney songs that...
MCCARTNEY: Oh, you know, there really is. I've got this little process where I had time to write. So what I would do is, I'd drop off my youngest daughter at school in the morning, come back to the house, sit down; and I knew I had a good three hours before she would wake up because of the time difference. So this was a nice motivation for me. I would sit down, write a song, and then I could ring her; say, good morning, would you like to hear a song?
MCCARTNEY: And so - and it was great actually. It became quite exciting to oh no, it's got to be better - I've got to really do something great for her to listen to.
SIEGEL: But the arithmetic here would suggest that there are lots, lots, lots more songs that you...
MCCARTNEY: Well, see. This is - the problem is that, OK, when I'm writing - like, I finish them up because I've got to play them to Nancy. But what also happen is, I put sketches down. I have an idea, and I haven't got time to finish it. And that is a big trunk full.
SIEGEL: Yeah. Paul McCartney, I want to ask you about one song on the album, "New," which is called "Early Days." Let's listen to it.
SIEGEL: Tell me about this song, "Early Days."
MCCARTNEY: So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger, you know, because there's so much been written. And I'm harking back here to the early Beatles period, or even pre-Beatles period. You know, like anyone's history, you remember pretty much what went down better then people who weren't there. So I was remembering John and I in Liverpool as young boys, walking down the street, dressed in black, guitars slung across our back, trying to get people to listen to our music.
And then I got to the last verse and I thought: Well, this is all very well me telling everyone how all this went down. But there are a lot of people who are going to say: Well, no, I know what really happened.
SIEGEL: I read that; I know the real story.
MCCARTNEY: Yeah. You know, I wasn't there but so-and-so wasn't either, and I read him. Yeah, so I just took a ticket from basically - I just sort of said, you know, when you weren't there, how can you remember?
SIEGEL: Yeah.
MCCARTNEY: And why do you know better than I do?
SIEGEL: Now, I'll tell you the reaction I had listening to this song - which I like a lot - is that I had this image of you as a young man in Liverpool. And then I realized that the sound of the song had me thinking of, you know, Austin, Texas; or Nashville. And I realized the reason that I didn't feel any conflict or any dissonance is because of what you did - what you and John did to music 40 years ago, 50 years ago; that it's broken down all kinds of barriers and become something very universal.
MCCARTNEY: And our influences were from, you know, country and western, R&B. Our influence is a lot of American music. People used to ask us, you know: What kind of music do you like? And it was like, American. And it basically was, really. I mean, we certainly weren't listening to any German music. You've got a lot to answer for, America.
SIEGEL: We are to blame, is what you're saying, for everything.
SIEGEL: Let's listen to another track from "New." This is the song "Alligator."
SIEGEL: For a frustrated alligator there.
SIEGEL: What's up here?
MCCARTNEY: Yeah, it's - the first bit's simple, you know: I want someone to come home to, I want a place - I'm not quite sure why I always want conversations that are not too deep. But - I've come home from work, I think that's what it is. So I'm imagining myself just doing that. But then the interesting thing for me, then it goes into: Everybody else is busy doing better than me.
SIEGEL: I'll accept this as a very common thing. And I'll accept that I've heard from any number of illustrious professors - or broadcasters, for that matter - the fear, I'll be found out. But I mean, Sir Paul McCartney - I mean, you have had success in so many dimensions of music. You really feel a competitive insecurity with somebody else who's coming out with a record?
MCCARTNEY: Unfortunately, yes. I think one thing that's good about it is, I think it's a good motivator. I think it keeps you hungry. I think the minute you're full up and have had enough to eat, then that's time to retire. But I agree with you. You know, I should be able to look at my accolades and go: Come on, Paul, that's enough. But there's still this little voice in the back of my brain, goes: No, no, no, you could do better. This person over here is excelling. Try harder.
It still can be a little bit intimidating. You know?
SIEGEL: Well, Paul McCartney, it's been an honor to help build up your ego here in this session...
MCCARTNEY: You've done it well.
SIEGEL: ...on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, and helped restore some self-confidence to you.
SIEGEL: And we greatly appreciate your coming in.
MCCARTNEY: Well, I certainly, very much appreciate you building me up. I was not sure. Now, I'm certain.
SIEGEL: Paul McCartney - Sir Paul McCartney, I should say, whose new album is called "New." Thanks a lot.
MCCARTNEY: Thank you.

The early modern doctor relied on his senses to examine and diagnose his patients. Touch, on the other hand, was important for the surgeon, but less so for the university-trained physician. While touch, and massage more specifically, were central to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, they were less important than the other senses, especially vision. In the late 1700s the importance of vision in the Western medical examination only increased. The visual nature of medicine is perhaps best highlighted by the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who described the rise of the doctor's gaze in the hospitals of revolutionary Paris. The development of certain medical technologies in the 1800s, including X-rays, further reduced the need for doctors to touch patients. Relying ever more heavily on technology, the modern doctor has grown more distant from the patient.
In many ways, though touch was relied on less by Western physicians and surgeons in the 1800s and 1900s, it became more common for hospitalised patients to be touched. For example, from the mid-1800s most hospital patients were bathed on admission. Surgical cases, which involved cutting and bandaging, grew as a percentage of hospital cases and outnumbered medical cases by the late 1800s. Though remaining in hospital for shorter durations compared to medical cases, many surgical cases also required physiotherapy. In the 1900s massage therapy was introduced in many hospitals to aid rehabilitation. Originally carried out by specially appointed masseurs, these skills were acquired by nurses. The numbers of such cases in all hospitals only climbed throughout the 1900s.

Small and shy—or big and fierce? Bright as a jewel—or hardly visible? Four legs? Two legs? No legs at all? When you're talking about lizards and snakes—the squamates—the answer is usually.... Yes!
This ancient group, whose scientific name is Latin for "scaled," is more diverse than mammals, as old as dinosaurs. And they're almost everywhere: harsh desert to lush rainforest, high in the treetops, beneath the ground. Whatever the environment, one of the 8,000 squamate species on Earth calls it home. We share the planet, but we often overlook these quiet neighbors. So welcome to the world of squamates, and get ready to be surprised!
Lizards & Snakes: Alive! was organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in collaboration with the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta and the San Diego Natural History Museum, with appreciation to Clyde Peeling's Reptiland.
Lizards & Snakes: Alive! was made possible, in part, by a grant from The Dyson Foundation and the Amy and Larry Robbins Foundation.

Basketball players Jessica Chapin, Steve DeLuca named All-Americans
WALTHAM, Mass. – Two Brandeis University basketball players have been selected as State Farm Division III All-Americans. Junior guard Jessica Chapin of Mendon, N.Y., was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention team, while graduate student Steve DeLuca of Merrimack, N.H., a forward, was a third-team All-America selection by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
Chapin's selection marks the sixth-straight year the Brandeis has had an honorable mention All-America selection by the WBCA. She guided the Judges to a 20-8 record and the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball tournament, the farthest the team has ever advanced in the postseason. The Judges were ranked 13th in the final d3hoops.com national poll. Chapin led Brandeis in scoring (14.1 points per game), rebounding (6.7 rpg), assists (3.2 apg) and steals (2.9 spg), making her one of only three players in the University Athletic Association (UAA) among the top 10 in all four categories. Chapin ranks second on the Judges' all-time list with 121 career 3-pointers, including a single-season record with 46 trifectas this season, and is fifth with 190 career steals.
Previously this season, Chapin has been recognized as a first-team All-UAA selection while garnering All-New England honors from the WBCA, the New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA) and d3hoops.com.
DeLuca is Brandeis' sixth NABC All-America selection and first since 1978, when John Martin '78 and Walter Harrigan '78 were both selected. After missing his senior season to injury, DeLuca returned to the Brandeis line-up and led the Judges in scoring and rebounding for the third time in his career, averaging 15.4 points and 6.9 boards per game, finishing sixth and second in the UAA, respectively. DeLuca helped Brandeis reach the NCAA Division III men's basketball team for the third straight season for the first time in school history. DeLuca is Brandeis's fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,595 points, while also ranking in the top 10 in rebounds, steals and blocked shots. The Judges finished 18-9 overall, 10-4 in the UAA, good for second place in the conference. They reached the second round of the NCAA tournament before falling to eventual Final Four qualifier Franklin and Marshall College by two points.
DeLuca had already been named a first-team All-UAA selection and an NABC first-team All-New England selection this season.
Chapin is a 2006 graduate of Honeoye Falls-Lima High School. She is the daughter of Michael and Deborah Chapin, Mendon, N.Y.
DeLuca is a 2004 graduate of Merrimack High School. He is the son of Lydia and John DeLuca, Merrimack, N.H.

runalot needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Gravee.com is a social search, bookmarking and recommendation site. Attached wireframes need to be massively improved – everything from layout / IA to visual design to color palette. Feel free to use current logo which is on the site, or redesign identity it if you think you can improve it. However, designing a logo is *not* required. (If someone comes up with just a better logo, but not a web page, $100 will be paid to that designer for the logo alone if we use it.)
Pages contain a lot of info and risk feeling cluttered. They should feel clean and simple to consume (i.e. like Facebook,Twitter) once you are done with them. Also feel free to adjust the layout... For example, on profile, "People You Might Like" sections might be better in the narrow left column, but that requires the user info to me more vertically compressed/compact (or moved). Also, maybe user info, etc., column should be on the right more like Twitter layout? Please use your judgment! We are open minded about layout.
Feel free to ask questions. I will answer them and update the brief.

Please take your inspiration from Twitter profiles and Facebook profiles. Extremely clean and simple is what we're looking for. Please visually streamline the profile page!
Please use of iconography as appropriate to help users comprehend the page; the ones currently in the wireframe should obviously be refined.
Feel free to experiment with color palette if you don't think the current one works; based on current logo, something like this orange/blue/green is what I was initially thinking: http://colorschemedesigner.com/#0z31Tw0w0w0w0. But, please be creative.
The design should be in layered PSD format.

20 Photos Of Rappers Holding Their Kids
Father's Day was almost two months ago. But just because the rest of the country isn't celebrating fatherhood today doesn't mean we can't. Being a dad is, after all, a job that requires 365 days of work. Just ask Kanye West.
Even though he's obviously busy right now—working on everything from new music to sneaker designs—he finds time to kick it with his 1-year-old daughter North. Kim Kardashian took a photo of the two hanging out in the studio on Monday afternoon and it was, in a word, adorable. So yes, we got all in the feelings and rounded up more photos of rappers being proud papas.
