Spinal Manipulation
The term spinal manipulation includes a class of interventions in which practitioners (e.g., chiropractors or osteopathic physicians, or physical therapists) use their hands or a device to apply a controlled force to the spine. In general current evidence does not permit direct comparisons of various specific techniques.
Strength of the Evidence Base
- The evidence base from many studies on the effects of spinal manipulation on low-back pain is of sufficient size and quality to permit independent systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and inclusion of recommendations into independent clinical practice guidelines.
- The systematic review supporting the 2007 clinical practice guidelines from the ACP/APS found good evidence that spinal manipulation (as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation) are all moderately effective for chronic or subacute (>4 weeks' duration) low back pain.
- A 2010 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) systematic review concluded that spinal manipulation was more effective than placebo and as effective as medication in reducing low-back pain intensity. The researchers did not find consistent differences when they compared spinal manipulation with massage or physical therapy.
- A 2011 Cochrane review of 26 clinical trials looked at the effectiveness of different treatments, including spinal manipulation, for chronic low-back pain. The authors concluded that spinal manipulation is as effective as other interventions for reducing pain and improving function.
- A 2009 meta-analysis looked at the evidence from 76 trials that studied the effects of several conventional and complementary health practices for low-back pain. The researchers found that the pain-relieving effects of many treatments, including spinal manipulation, were small and were similar in people with acute or chronic pain.
- Many reviews have concluded that spinal manipulation for low-back pain is relatively safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. The most common minor side effects include feeling tired and temporary soreness.
- There have been a few reports of cauda equina syndrome (CES), a significant narrowing of the lower part of the spinal canal in which nerves become pinched and may cause pain, weakness, loss of feeling in one or both legs, and bowel or bladder problems, following spinal manipulation. However, the vast majority of cases of CES are not associated with previous spinal manipulation, and in the few cases which are it is unclear whether this is a complication of manipulation or an underlying disease condition which is causing back pain.
- In people whose pain is caused by a herniated disc, manipulation of the low back appears to have a very low chance of worsening the herniation.
- For risks associated with spinal manipulation affecting the upper (cervical) spine, see the NCCAM fact sheet Chiropractic: An Introduction.
Acupuncture is being actively studied for its efficacy in alleviating many kinds of pain. Evidence of benefit has been found in many conditions, including chronic low back pain. Whether the beneficial clinical effects of acupuncture treatment are specific or non-specific is unsettled, and under active investigation.
Strength of Evidence
- The strongest evidence concerning the efficacy of acupuncture in chronic low back pain consists of the systematic review which supports the ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines, and a more recent individual patient data meta-analysis published in 2012.
Research Results
- The systematic review supporting the 2007 ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines found fair evidence that acupuncture (as well as massage, yoga, and functional restoration) is effective for chronic low back pain. The 2007 clinical practice guidelines included them as options physicians should consider when patients with chronic low-back pain do not respond to conventional treatment.
- A rigorous 2012 patient data meta-analysis found clear evidence that acupuncture is useful in treating chronic back and neck pain, and the investigators concluded that it is therefore a reasonable referral option. While they found evidence of acupuncture-specific effects attributable to needling, suggesting that acupuncture is more than an elaborate placebo, they noted that these effects are relatively modest and that other non-acupuncture-specific factors are major contributors to the clinical benefit. Ongoing research is actively investigating the mechanism(s) of acupuncture's effects on pain.
- Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced practitioner using sterile needles.
- Reports of serious adverse events related to acupuncture are rare, but include infections and punctured organs.
Massage therapy has been or is being studied in for its effects in alleviating pain and other symptoms associated with a number of conditions. While largely preliminary and sometimes conflicting, much of the evidence points toward beneficial effects. In general these effects are short term.
Strength of Evidence
- The strongest evidence concerning efficacy of massage in chronic low back pain consists of a systematic review which supports ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines (published in 2007), another Cochrane systematic review published in 2008, and a subsequent large randomized clinical trial.
Research Results
- A systematic review supporting the 2007 ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines found fair evidence that massage (as well as acupuncture, yoga, and functional restoration) are effective for chronic low back pain. The 2007 clinical practice guidelines included them as options physicians should consider when patients with chronic low-back pain do not respond to conventional treatment.
- A 2008 systematic review of 13 clinical trials found evidence that massage might be useful for chronic low-back pain.
- Results of a subsequent large randomized clinical trial published in 2011 showed that massage therapy may have short‑term benefits for people with chronic low-back pain. Massage therapy helped reduce pain and improve function more rapidly than usual medical care at 10 weeks; however, at 1 year the benefits of massage over usual care were not significant.
- Massage therapy appears to have few risks when performed by a trained practitioner. However, massage therapists should take some precautions with certain health conditions.
- In some cases, pregnant women should avoid massage therapy. Talk with your health care provider before getting a massage if you are pregnant.
- Forceful and deep tissue massage should be avoided by people with conditions such as bleeding disorders or low blood platelet counts, and by people taking anticoagulant medications such as warfarin (also known as blood thinners).
- Massage should not be done in any potentially weak area of the skin, such as wounds.
- Deep or intense pressure should not be used over an area where the patient has a tumor or cancer, unless approved by the patient's health care provider.
Yoga, a mind and body practice that combines physical activity or postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, has been studied for several pain conditions such as chronic low-back pain and arthritis. NCCAM is also supporting research specifically associated with safety of this widely-used self-care practice
Strength of Evidence
- The current evidence base on efficacy of yoga in chronic low back pain consists the systematic review which supports the ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines (published in 2007), and several subsequently published randomized clinical trials.
- Several studies have examined the effects of yoga for chronic low-back pain.
Research Results
- A systematic review supporting the 2007 ACP/APS clinical practice guidelines found fair evidence that viniyoga (as well as acupuncture, massage, and functional restoration) are effective for chronic low back pain. The 2007 clinical practice guidelines included them as options physicians should consider when patients with chronic low-back pain do not respond to conventional treatment.
- A subsequent NCCAM-funded study published in 2009 of 90 people with chronic low-back pain found that participants who practiced Iyengar yoga had significantly less disability, pain, and depression after 6 months than patients who received standard medical care.
- In a 2011 study, also funded by NCCAM, researchers compared yoga (a protocol developed using the principles of viniyoga) with conventional stretching exercises or a self-care book in 228 adults with chronic low-back pain. The investigators concluded that yoga classes were more effective than a self-care book, but not more effective than stretching classes, in improving function and reducing symptoms due to chronic low back pain, with benefits lasting at least several months.
- Conclusions from another 2011 study of 313 adults with chronic or recurring low-back pain suggested that 12 weekly yoga classes resulted in better function than usual medical care.
- Overall, clinical trial data suggest yoga as taught and practiced in these research studies under the guidance of skilled teacher has a low rate of minor side effects.
- However, injuries from yoga, some of them serious, have been reported in the popular press.
- People with health conditions should work with an experienced teacher who can help modify or avoid some yoga poses to prevent side effects.

From the bourbon state to Bourbon Street, just about all the U.S. has come to know and love the prized liquor from Kentucky.
Arguably, it's the Kentucky Derby that helped bring the libation to prominence, which is why the Kentucky Derby Museum decided to open a new exhibit, "Urban Bourbon Presented by Four Roses,†to highlight the drink's celebrated history.
I visited the exhibit, held in the Matt Winn Gallery inside the Kentucky Derby Museum, to learn more about the liquor and its role in Kentucky's past and present.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm not the biggest fan of bourbon. But, after discovering more about its history, I suddenly gained a new respect and knowledge for the Kentucky gem.
One aspect of bourbon I've always been baffled by is its distinction from whiskey, which the exhibit finally answered for me.
On May 4, 1964, the United States Congress declared bourbon a "distinctive product of the United States.†Any whiskey called bourbon must meet the requirement of a grain mixture comprised of at least 51 percent corn, is distilled to no more than 160 proof, is aged in new, charred oak barrels, has no added coloring or flavoring and is entered into the barrel at no more than 125 proof.
It also must not be bottled below 80 proof and should be called straight bourbon if it has been aged for a minimum of two years. Straight bourbon aged for a period less than four years must be labeled with the duration of aging, and if the age is stated on the label, it must be the age of the youngest whiskey. Lastly, to meet the distinction of bourbon, it must be produced in the United States.
All these requirements have led to a winning concoction so high in demand, particularly on Derby Day, that the racetrack is known to use 7,800 liters of bourbon, 420,000 pounds of shaved ice and 2,250 pounds of mint in order to create its signature cocktail, The Mint Julep.
Aside from the fun facts I learned about bourbon, I also had the chance to "nose†different varieties of the liquor, taking note of such characteristics as smell, color and taste.
In all, my favorite feature of the exhibit, though, was the interactive virtual bartender in the center of the gallery. By selecting one of many short video clips, you can find out how to make delicious cocktails, including the bourbon margarita.
The drink sounded so enticing, I headed over to Doc Crows after attending the exhibit and ordered the drink from the very bartender who was featured in the video clip. To my surprise, I actually preferred the bourbon version to the traditional tequila-laden margarita. And, the iced tea mixed with bourbon, that I later tried, was equally as tasty.
For someone who thought she was one of the few Kentuckians who disliked bourbon, I walked away from the exhibit – and later the bar – with a new appreciation for what the liquor has done for Louisville's culture. And, in the end I realized there's a reason so many people have grown to love the drink. Mix its smooth taste with its cherished tradition and you have the perfect combination for a drink worthy of international fame.
"Urban Bourbon Presented by Four Roses†will be open through December 31. For more information on the exhibit, visit www.derbymuseum.org.

Lounge Ax, the late, great Lincoln Avenue rock club that hosted countless indie-rock stalwarts during the '90s before its demise in 2000, will throw a retrospective party Aug. 10-11 that will reunite some of the regulars, personalities and bands who made the venue such a key part of the decade's music scene.
The co-owners of the club, Sue Miller Tweedy and Julia Adams, will host the Lounge Ax Retrospective at saki, 3716 W. Fullerton, a Logan Square record store, gallery and performance space. They'll pack it with memorabilia including posters and some of the countless photo-booth snapshots of rock bands that played the club during its heyday, including Pavement, Wilco, Shellac, Tortoise, Smog, the Sea & Cake and Yo La Tengo. A party is planned at 7 p.m. Aug. 10 and several bands will perform at 4 p.m. Aug. 11.
Both are free, all-ages events. More details on which bands will be playing will be available in a few weeks.
The club closed in 2000, a victim of the neighborhood's gentrification, but not before Miller and Adams left an indelible mark on the city's rock scene. Lounge Ax was long celebrated for its bookings and congenial atmosphere, in keeping with the tone set by the owners.

Rapurapu Track
This walking track is a beautiful cool, retreat during the summer months with mature tawa-podocarp forest, a lovely stream with swimming holes and kauri.
Time: 1 hr 15 min one way Distance: 5 km Type: Tramping Track
This walking track has an easy grade and is a beautiful cool retreat during the summer months. With mature tawa-podocarp forest, a lovely stream and swimming holes, and three impressive kauri trees that are growing at around their southern most limit.
On SH29, about 4km past the Kaimai Summit towards the Waikato side, a short gravel road on the left (not sign posted) leads to a parking area where the track begins. This area is an ecological reserve within the Kaimai - Mamaku Forest Park.
The first 600m is through a previously grazed area that is being revegetated using radiata pine and tree lucerne as nursery crops. The track enters a terrace of tawa forest then drops down to the Raparapu Stream which it then follows, before reaching a boardwalk at the base of the kauri trees. The largest tree measures 179cm in diameter 14m to the first branch. A view of the three big trees may be obtained from the rocks in the middle of the stream, just before climbing the boardwalk steps.
CAUTION : There are numerous stream crossings, so we advise against walking this track after heavy rain. Sturdy footwear should be worn.

The Pulitzer Prize–winning, best-selling author of Founding Brothers and His Excellency brings America's preeminent first couple to life in a moving and illuminating narrative that sweeps through the American Revolution and the republic's tenuous early years.
John and Abigail Adams left an indelible and remarkably preserved portrait of their lives together in their personal correspondence: both Adamses were prolific letter writers (although John conceded that Abigail was clearly the more gifted of the two), and over the years they exchanged more than twelve hundred letters. Joseph J. Ellis distills this unprecedented and unsurpassed record to give us an account both intimate and panoramic; part biography, part political history, and part love story.
Ellis describes the first meeting between the two as inauspicious—John was twenty-four, Abigail just fifteen, and each was entirely unimpressed with the other. But they soon began a passionate correspondence that resulted in their marriage five years later.
Over the next decades, the couple were separated nearly as much as they were together. John's political career took him first to Philadelphia, where he became the boldest advocate for the measures that would lead to the Declaration of Independence. Yet in order to attend the Second Continental Congress, he left his wife and children in the middle of the war zone that had by then engulfed Massachusetts. Later he was sent to Paris, where he served as a minister to the court of France alongside Benjamin Franklin. These years apart stressed the Adamses' union almost beyond what it could bear: Abigail grew lonely, while the Adams children suffered from their father's absence.
John was elected the nation's first vice president, but by the time of his reelection, Abigail's health prevented her from joining him in Philadelphia, the interim capital. She no doubt had further reservations about moving to the swamp on the Potomac when John became president, although this time he persuaded her. President Adams inherited a weak and bitterly divided country from George Washington. The political situation was perilous at best, and he needed his closest advisor by his side: "I can do nothing," John told Abigail after his election, "without you."
In Ellis's rich and striking new history, John and Abigail's relationship unfolds in the context of America's birth as a nation.
"Written with the grace and style one expects from the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Founding Brothers . . . John Adams could not have a better biographer."
—Annette Gordon-Reed, The Los Angeles Times
"The author's fluid style penetrates a correspondence studded with classical references, political dish, felicitous turns of phrases and unvarnished pleadings of affection and anxiety. America's first power couple enjoyed, teased and rescued each other during 54 years of marriage."
—John E. Lazarus, Newark Star-Ledger
"Ellis's strength is his ability to portray historical icons as real human beings, and his talent remains sharp . . . Ellis has made himself into a sort of bard of our early Republic, and [First Family] is a fitting addition to his repertoire."
—Anne Bartlett, Miami Herald
"Richly detailed . . . erudite as well as eloquent, First Family proves that bedfellows can make superior politics."
—Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Ellis is that rare professional historian who can eloquently convey both information and insight with remarkable clarity . . . [he] has once again given us a consistently engaging dual biography and love story as well as an insightful exploration of early American history."
—Roger Bishop, Bookpage
"First Family invites you into a sustaining marriage that survives revolution, personal tragedies and the vicious politics of the moment. In this election year, it's valuable reading."
—Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday
"The author's beautiful writing draws the reader wholly into this relationship, bringing new perspective to the historical importance of this enduring love story. An impeccable account of the politics, civics and devotion behind the Adams marriage."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"In addition to looking at the strengths of the Adams' marriage, the book examines the toll taken by their years apart and the misfortunes in the lives of all their children except John Quincy. Ellis has produced a very readable history of the nation's founding as lived by these two."—Mary Ellen Quinn, Booklist
"Ellis's supple prose and keen psychological insight give a vivid sense of the human drama behind history's upheavals." — Publishers Weekly

Cabbage & buckwheat kasha recipe
It's time for another buckwheat recipe here on Nami-Nami. The inspiration for this recipe is from an Estonian author Aive Luigela (we share the publisher :)), but I've adapted it slightly. It's an excellent dish for those who are trying to shed some post-Christmas (or post-pregnancy) pounds - light in calories, yet surprisingly packed with flavour.
Note that buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, so it's a suitable and tasty grain alternative to all those who need to avoid gluten. Use oil for a vegan version.
Buckwheat with Cabbage
Serves 4
2 Tbsp oil or butter
150 g buckwheat groats
300 g white cabbage, shredded
750 ml (3 cups) boiling water
0.5-1 tsp salt
1 tsp caster sugar
fresh lovage or dill, chopped
First, you may need to toast the buckwheat. The buckwheat we usually use in Estonia is pre-roasted and dark brown, so this can be skip this stage. If you're using the "light" buckwheat groats, then roast them on a dry hot skillet for about 5-6 minutes, until it's nicely toasty and aromatic.
Heat the oil in a large high frying pan/sauté pan. Add the buckwheat and sauté for a couple of minutes, stirring every now and then.
Add the cabbage and boiling water. Season with half a teaspoon of salt. Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce heat and simmer on a low heat for about 30 minutes, until the cabbage is soft and buckwheat cooked.
Season with sugar and more salt, if necessary. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and serve.

Sounds like a hearty, healthy dish, nutrient dense.

I have a bag of buckwheat languishing in the pantry that I haven't been inspired to use. And now I have been, thanks to you. The dill and cabbage sound like great flavour partners.

Jeanette, it is, yet low in calories!
Foodtoglow - hope that buckwheat isn't past its prime already - it wouldn't do this dish any justice then :O
Jenny - thank you!

such a simple and beautiful dish. but I wouldn't imagine the one who'd offer to a buckwheat novice:)
I have been trying all sorts of combination with buckwheat, trying to come up with something both vegetarian (for no particular reason but stubbornness) and savoury and really flavoursome. (am doing my first supperclub and a 'cabbage flower' stuffed with buckwheat is the centrepiece:) will share if successful!

Here's the first episode of Pioneer One, a neat webseries that was entirely crowdfunded. The pilot is about a mysterious downed spacecraft over Montana and Edmonton, deadly radiation, and a Cold War secret.
Here's the opening — here are parts 2, 3, and 4.
This series was written by Josh Bernhard, directed by Bracey Smith, and distributed by VODO. Pioneer One has a strong X-Files vibe, but is more grounded in reality — no monster of the week here, folks. Here's the official description of Pioneer One:
An object in the sky spreads radiation over North America. Fearing terrorism, U.S. Homeland Security agents are dispatched to investigate and contain the damage. What they discover will have implications for the entire world.
You can learn more about the program at its main page. Also, here's the show's funding page, which also has episodes available for download from VODO. They've reached ~$27,000 of their $30,000 goal and will begin filming again in September.
Thanks for the tip, Keith!

We're entering the season of pie. I mentioned pie last year during a blog about Christmas but with Thanksgiving upon us I feel it warrants a bit more discussion. I love pie, more specifically pies with meringue. My favorite is chocolate but I like coconut cream and will even eat my husband's favorite, brown sugar. My great grandmother, Nannie, who I've also mentioned before set this pie passion in motion. She made three to four pies every Sunday pretty much year round during my early childhood. As the world got more hectic, family time less scheduled and Sunday dinner at Nannies house went by the way side the pies got reserved for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter but that only made me love them all the more.
While I love to make pies I never seem to have enough time to do so. Pie with a meringue is a time sensitive creature. They're best served the day of and in my preferred taste at room temperature. With us usually having several family dinners packed into one or two days with a drive of 30 to 40 minutes between each pie baking can be hard to do. Because of this I've even come to coin the term "pie worthy." I'd love to bring pie to every event but sometimes it's just not possible. So it's usually the stand alone family gathering, meaning one that is planned and not coinciding with several others, that is pie worthy. A pie worthy event will give me enough time to prepare the pie(s), allow them to cool as well as enough space to cool them because the kitchen counters aren't covered by other dishes set to go to other events. Space can often be an issue when cooking, while I like my kitchen it would be great to have the set up Nannie had.
Nannie had a small room off her kitchen with three doors; one lead to a bedroom, one to the porch outside and one to the kitchen. The purpose of this room was to house one of her two deep freezers (the other was outside in a garage that had an adjoining smoke house). That room wasn't heated or cooled and I'm thinking it had been a last minute addition simply for housing that freezer. The room remained cool year round and because of that the deep freeze room got a second purpose, pie cooler. No searching for a clear counter there!
I can remember being short enough to see just above the deep freeze to stare at the pies sitting on top waiting for whatever holiday meal we were having. Nannies pies were truly perfect in my opinion. High meringue, toasted to a beautiful golden brown with tiny drops of amber liquid that seemed to magically form in the valleys between the peaks. I never understood how she managed those tiny drops I only knew that they reminded me of the sweet liquid you get when you pull the stigma out of a honeysuckle flower. I've spent most of my adult life trying to re-create those pies and more importantly those little drops.
For the longest time weeping was a problem. In case you aren't familiar with this: "Meringue pies will "weep" water because of the interaction between the filling and the whipped meringue. If one or the other is overcooked, water beads will form and weep. Egg whites can also weep if they are over-beaten or are from old eggs. Refrigeration speeds up the process of weeping." Taken From: http://www.ivillage.com/how-keep-meringue-pies-getting-soggy/3-a-58092#ixzz1dymsEUD3
I still haven't mastered this to the point that my pies never weep but that same site has this to offer, which I think I'll be trying this week:
''Meringue toppings on pies don't always hold up for long periods of time, particularly in humid weather, so plan to add the meringue shortly before serving. Weeping and shrinking (when the meringue pulls away from the crust) are two common problems, but they are avoidable.
Refrigeration makes meringue weep more quickly, so let the pie stand at room temperature in a draft-free spot before serving it. After a few hours, however, it will need to be refrigerated.
If the meringue is cooked before being added to the pie, it will be more stable and less likely to weep. To do this, combine the sugar and egg whites ... in a heat-proof bowl and set over simmering water. Mix until the egg whites are warm, then remove from heat and add the salt and/or cream of tartar. Beat into stiff peaks.
Spread the meringue over a pie that is already baked, covering the filling completely and touching the crust all the way around. This will prevent shrinking. If you like golden peaks on your meringue, run the pie under the broiler for one or two minutes. Serve as soon as possible.'' (Their Source: Desserts by Martha Stewart, Clarkson Potter, 1999)
Back to my droplet dilemma, as I was saying I have forever been trying to re-create those droplets. For some reason I feel it necessary to allow my children the experience of dipping their finger precariously into the top of the meringue to try and taste one of those drops. I've baked and experimented over and over again but only occasionally can I seem to create those drops and more by accident than anything. So I decided to do a little research and to my amazement I found out that my idea of pie perfection was another person's flaw.
According to www.dinasdesserts.com:
"Sometimes amber colored droplets appear on the surface of a meringue. If this "beading" happens immediately, usually it's because the foam has been over jelled during baking. Baking a meringue in a hot oven for a short time can minimize this problem.
Baking a meringue on a humid day can also contribute to beading because the sugar in the meringue attracts moisture from the air. After the meringue cools, beads of syrup form at the surface.
A meringue topping baked quickly (4 to 5 minutes) at 425 is tendered and less sticky than one baked a 375 degrees. But beware of overcooking. Meringue that is baked too long also weeps because its moisture has been squeezed out by egg white proteins that have over thickened."
Taken from: http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/bakingtips.piesandtarts/PiesandTarts.cfm
Knowing this has now left me with another dilemma. Do I seek my idea of perfection or should I follow the way of the learned cook and try for a pristine droplet free pie? I think perhaps I'll need to try both. After all I know there must be a few others out there who like me who embrace the flaws of life and really is there such a thing as an imperfect pie? That solved I have another problem…how do I get the chickens to start laying double time for the holidays?
Here's hoping you have lots of pie this Thanksgiving! I'll leave you with a happy little song to inspire your baking:

Jacoby Holman arrested for Trazayre Sanders murder
UPDATE: Jacoby Holman, a man who police say murdered Trazayre Sanders, 20, of Beaumont, was back in court Monday April 15.
Donning a red prison jump suit and sitting in a wheelchair in Judge John Stevens' criminal district court, Holman requested he be given a trial as a result of the murder charge.
Holman also requested he be assigned a public defender as he has no way of hiring his own attorney.
On Sept. 27, Holman was arrested near Hazel Avenue for the shooting and murder of Sanders in the North End of Beaumont Aug. 28, 2012. His bond was set at $100,000. Holman was himself shot during the Aug. 2012 altercation that led to Sanders' death.
Police say that late on the night of Aug. 28, 2012, a man was murdered in cold blood. After speaking with family members, police identified the victim as Trazayre Sanders, a 20-year-old resident of Beaumont, according to a press release.
Detectives say there was a second shooting victim that night: Jacoby Holman, an 18-year-old resident of Beaumont. St. Elizabeth ER doctors treated Holman for his wounds before he was transported him the Jefferson County Jail for outstanding city warrants, according to the release. After police interviewed Holman, he bonded out of jail the morning of Aug. 28
At the time, Police said they were confident the two shootings were linked, but were trying to determine the exact nature of that link.
On Sept. 27, Jacoby Holman was arrested near Hazel Avenue for the shooting and murder of Sanders in the North End of Beaumont, Beaumont PD announced.
As Holman was transported to Beaumont PD to speak with detectives on Thursday, Sept. 27, he refused questions from reporters on the scene. His bond is $100,000.

Nuggets 203 – Krautrock 3
Nuggets 203 – Krautrock 3 by Paul on Grooveshark
More Kosmische than krautrock. Love the Kraftwerk cover by Jurado and Swift.
The songs towards the middle are pretty straight forward lockstep sequencers with the beats getting more chaotic towards the end.
I used to play around with electronic components and I recall setting up a series of oscillators and then linking them randomly. Sounded similar, looked like this (except there were more of them).
I fancy that these tracks were generated using old school ring modulators that look like this…
BTW, that's Conrad Schnitzler (from Kluster / Cluster) and he sounds like this…
I included tracks from two bands I saw at SXSW with Kosmische tendencies – Lower Dens and The Men. The Men track is quite unlike their guitar shredding live set, whilst the Lower Dens sounded pretty similar live.
Which reminds me, I have a day and a half of SXSW left to document. Next blog posting I promise…
Finally, here's some Faust (because I can )

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The trash talk started early in camp, when Pablo Sandoval walked up to Ryan Vogelsong, took a huge swing with an imaginary bat and pretended to watch a baseball soar deep into the distance.
Sandoval was imitating what he would do if his Venezuelan team faced Vogelsong and Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, which takes place next month. For his part, Vogelsong has joked that he might just plunk Sandoval and take the bat out of his hand.
"Pablo doesn't faze me," Vogelsong said, smiling. "He just talks a lot of trash. It's definitely going to be fun."
All kidding aside, more than a third of the Giants' big league roster is getting ready to leave camp. The exodus actually started Tuesday when hitting coach Hensley Meulens boarded a 14-hour flight for Taiwan, where he will manage the Netherlands.
Angel Pagan and Andres Torres start workouts with Puerto Rico on March 2, and in the days that follow, Sergio Romo will join Mexico, Santiago Casilla joins the Dominican Republic, Sandoval, Marco Scutaro and Jose Mijares begin their stints with Venezuela and Vogelsong and Jeremy Affeldt leave camp to begin working with the rest of the favored American team.
To prepare for the departures, the Giants brought 37 pitchers to camp. Prospect Gary Brown will get an extended look in the outfield, and with Scutaro and Sandoval gone, manager Bruce Bochy will have plenty of Cactus League playing time for the collection of infielders fighting for the final backup job.
The Giants will lose nine big leaguers and minor league catcher Tyler LaTorre (Italy) to the WBC, the second-highest total in the majors after the Milwaukee Brewers, who have 14 representatives. Even as the number of departures grew, Bochy didn't hold any players back, not even Sandoval, who will go through extra conditioning in Scottsdale before he leaves camp. Bochy said the focus instead was on making sure that those who wanted to represent their countries were ready to do so.
"It's absolutely vital that we get them game-ready before they leave us," said Bochy, who will start Vogelsong in Saturday's Cactus League opener as part of that plan.
The understanding is appreciated by Bochy's players, especially the Latin contingent that knows how much the third installment of the international tournament means in other countries. It means more to the Giants than most, too. The semifinals and championship will be held March 17-19 at AT&T Park.
Until then, the smack talk will continue. Asked how he would pitch to Sandoval if their countries square off, Casilla said the free-swinging third baseman would get a fastball right down the middle.
"Up, he can hit," Casilla said, putting his hand at his eyes. "Outside pitches, he can hit. Down in the dirt, no problem. But he doesn't hit pitches that are down the middle."
"We'll take our time here," Lopez said. "That's the good thing about the spring. You can do that."
"Timmy feels good — feels great," Bochy said. "I thought he threw well."

This documentary explores the fall of the Enron Corporation, arguably the most shocking example of modern corporate corruption. The company is linked with several illegal schemes, including instigating the California energy crisis as a way to drive up utility prices at the expense of the average American. In a hyper-competitive environment, Enron traders resort to all kinds of underhanded dealings in order to make money at any cost and keep their high-paying jobs.

Community policing at its best: And the award goes to….
It's award season, and no I am not talking about the Hollywood elite, I'm talking about something much more important, an award where there is no red carpet or pre-show, no one cares what you're wearing. This award recognizes the true heroes in our society, heroes who, most of the time, are unrecognized and unappreciated. I am speaking of our law enforcement officials and this year's IACP/Cisco Community Policing awards.
2012's Finalists and Award Recipients:
Award Recipients:
- Columbia Heights, MN Police Department (Population fewer than 20,000 residents)
- Duluth, MN Police Department (Population of 50,001 to 100,000 residents)
- Clearwater, FL Police Department (Population of 100,001 to 250,000 residents)
- San Diego Police Department, San Diego, CA (Population of 250,001+ residents)
- Hopkins, MN Police Department (Population fewer than 20,000)
- Population of 20,001 to 50,000 (4 finalists):
- Bradenton, FL Police Department
- Burlington, VT Police Department
- Grapevine, TX Police Department
- Hanover Park, IL Police Department
- Greater Sudbury Police Service, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada (Population of 100,001 to 250,000)
- Rishon Leziyon Police Station INP – Rishon Leziyon, Israel (Population of more than 250,001)
- Riverside, CA Police Department (Population of more than 250,001)
Twenty-nine cities submitted their best practices in community policing. The nominees detailed how they launched and maintained programs that involved collaboration with law enforcement and citizens to create safer communities. Some partnered more closely with schools (City of Hopkins), others leveraged their law enforcement liaison (Bradenton Police Department) and another integrated technology as a way to collaborate with citizens (Clearwater Police Department). While there are only 4 award recipients, one for each population category, all the achievements should be honored.
So, tonight, on this beautiful evening in San Diego, on a boat in the quiet harbor, IACP leaders, Cisco global and local government leads and the award recipients and nominees gather to honor the community policing achievements from this past year. Tomorrow we will all go back to attending the IACP conference, learning best practices and seeing the very latest in law enforcement technology, but for this one night, we take pause to honor the tremendous work and sacrifice of law enforcement officials who are creating new ways to keep their communities safe.

And now back to your regularly scheduled awards programming….

The big problem is that I run Ubuntu linux at home. On the yamaha site, their software appears only for windows and Mac. Since I a big geek at heart I thought I'd see how far I can get anyway.
For my first step, I thought I'd plug the Motif into the USB port and see what happened... Well, nothing. lsusb didn't even return it as a device. However, dmesg reported a new device.
[67560.034283] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
[67562.707240] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[67562.803313] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
So, just for grins, I restarted the ES with the USB already connected. This seemed to allow the usb subsystem in linux to now see it. lsusb now returns:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 045e:006a Microsoft Corp.
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 1267:0103 Logic3 / SpectraVideo plc G-720 Keyboard
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0499:1023 Yamaha Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
So it seems we're now getting somewhere. In order to start easy, I thought I'd boot a windows virtualbox session and add this usb device to see if I could you the "out of the box" yamaha software.
So I downloaded the full fledged virtualbox deb from Sun. I already had the open source virtualbox that is included with the ubuntu 8.04 repos installed and I needed to uninstall this before installing the full version. After doing this, I went to the USB tab and added the detected yamaha device to the options.
When I booted into my XP virtualbox session, it detected the new hardware, so I tried to autoinstall. It didn't work so I clicked finish and went to plan B which is to install the software manually.
So I unzipped the usb midi driver to a temp directory, went through the add new hardware wizard and rebooted my machine. I then proceeded to start installing some of the other software I downloaded from the yamaha web site.
First off the voice editor (version 2.2): Being adventurous I tried to install from withing the zip file without first unzipping. First problem I noticed after installation is that it appears to be for the ES6... not sure if that's a problem, but the bigger issue is that is didn't appear to work. My start menu has a broken link to the voice editor user manual, but not software.
A quick search of the web indicates I should have followed the directions (or read them) as it appears the part editor requires the studio manager. Next, hoping I hadn't already screwed things up, I installed that.
On a side note, I discovered I needed to install acrobat reader as all the manuals are in PDF. It seems like a nice option might be to export manuals as html for folks who are viewing them and not printing them. PDF is just kinda sucky on a widescreen monitor and a 33mb download to read a text file seems a bit excessive to me. On another note, the default acrobat installer installs some sort of download manager, just what I needed, more stuff to go wrong on my pc. Well, at least it's just a virtual image and I won't lose stuff outside my VM.
Back on track though I soon discovered I had installed an ancient version of the USB MIDI driver. I had to uninstall the old one and reinstall the new one.
Well, this is as far as I could get so far. For some reason my virtualbox copy of XP cannot interact with the yamaha MIDI device. I think I may send a note to the yamaha folks to see if they can give me a hand and I'll also try to read the F'n manual to see if I missed a critical step.
I'll keep you posted as updates happen.

Using demos and theory this session shows how virtualisation changes the way we need to monitor the performance of a virtualised instance of SQL Server. By simulating bad resource contention and overloading we will see how SQL Server's own performance counters and wait stats along with Perfmon's counters react to CPU, memory and storage pressures. Some performance counters in the virtual world hide issues, while others exaggerate it, the purpose of this session is to demonstrate a balanced and well-rounded approach to performance monitoring in the virtual world along with best practices to avoid poor virtualised performance.
SQL Bits was started by a group of individuals that are passionate about the SQL Server product suite.
There is a breadth of knowledge in the SQL Community that will benefit everyone in the community.
We want to spread that knowledge.
We all work with the SQL community, some of us for many years. We have a range of skills and experiences from being given the MVP award by Microsoft, organising user groups and speaking at events around the world.

The Menu: If today's plate looks familiar, it's probably because most of the components were also in play during yesterday's lunch. Yes, Liz took the semi-homemade approach to cooking today by reheating several of the delicious leftovers from yesterday's lunch catered by Nature's Express. Liz altered the leftover coconut-yam soup by adding pureed garbanzo beans and cashew cream, and served it with several other Nature's Express leftovers, including Grilled Tempeh Reubens, Eggless Egg Salad Sandwiches, and Couscous Salad. This stick-to-your-ribs meal was rounded out with a side of Amy's new vegan mac 'n' cheese and a heaping helping of delicious green salad.
The Goods: It's been an unusually quiet day at the VNHQ, with Ms. Colleen, Elizabeth, and Abby out of the office to attend a conference. We have to confess, we're a bit blue without them—and the weather seems to agree, as its been overcast and rainy most of the afternoon. Thankfully, there is a silver lining to the day: fun and sassy pictures from last night's SF Vegan Drinks! We had a blast mixing, mingling, and sipping on cocktails with the coolest people in San Francisco—and we have pictures to prove it! Of course, today's other silver lining is that it's Friday, and the weekend is nary an hour away. Hurrah!

This visualization of a computer simulation showcases the 'cosmic web', the large scale structure of the universe. Each bright knot is an entire galaxy, while the purple filaments show where material exists between the galaxies. To the human eye, only the galaxies would be visible, and this visualization allows us to see the strands of material connecting the galaxies and forming the cosmic web.
This visualization is based on a scientific simulation of the growth of structure in the universe. The matter, dark matter, and dark energy in a region of the universe are followed from very early times of the universe through to the present day using the equations of gravity, hydrodynamics, and cosmology. The normal matter has been clipped to show only the densest regions, which are the galaxies, and is shown in white. The dark matter is shown in purple. The size of the simulation is a cube with a side length of 134 megaparsecs (437 million light-years).
The camera choreography is a straight line path through the simulation. The camera accelerates from a standstill at the start, flies at a constant speed, and then decelerates to a stop at the end. The "cruising speed" of the camera is 250,000 parsecs per frame, or about 20 million light-years per second (at 24 frames per second). That's more than 600 trillion times the speed of light. Buckle your seatbelts.
The simulation is periodic, and the camera flies through it several times. A skew angle is used to avoid showing the same structures on each fly through. The camera path (after accelerating to full speed) does repeat every 2000 frames. Hence, one can get an infinite loop by showing the frames 100 – 2099 over and over.

Simulation: Martin White and Lars Hernquist, Harvard University

This is the first in the set of documents I purchased at an antique store in Kingston Ontario July 27, 2012. For details, see Found! Treasure Trove of Land Documents from Ontario Canada
I purchased this in a bundle of old documents, deeds etc. in Kingston Ontario.
William Parks states he is a resident of Richmond Township in the District of Midland, Province of Canada. This is now Richmond Township, Lennox & Addington Counties, Ontario Canada.
The land he bequeaths is noted as being Lot 16, Concession 6 in Richmond Township.
In the will, William mentions his wife Rebecca is to have 1/3 of the homestead and a place in the home as long as she is his widow. This is pretty standard stuff for the time period. Men often left their wives provided for with a roof over their heads as long as they did not remarry.
Also mentioned are sons:
* eldest son James William to have 5L, some blacksmith tools and land
* William Milo to have East 1/2 of Lot 17, Concession 6
* youngest son Rueben Jesse to have West 1/2 of Lot 17, Concession 6
* Grandson Alva Hazzard to have 2L and some personal items (details in the will)
More documents will follow as I scan them and extract their details. You may view all the documents as they are published by clicking on the label Lennox-Addington Co. Collection. If
you are a descendant and would like to see these records, they are now with Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives,
97 Thomas Street East,
Napanee, Ontario
Lorine's Research
I conducted my own research on Ancestry.com on this family and found that Rebecca married again after William's death, first to a Mr. Leggatt or Leggette then to William McKittrick.
She had one child by Mr. Leggatt were a daughter Sarah Margaret born ca 1853. She had one child by Willliam McKittrick were James born ca 1858. Rebecca appears to have adopted a daughter Cynthia Dennison who later used the surname McKittrick.
In the 1881 census on Ancestry.com, Rebecca McKittrick is found as a 54 year old widow with daughter Cynthia McKittrick age 15. Her son Reuben Parks is living next door with his wife and family.
1871 finds Rebecca McKittrick, a 44 year old widow living with her son Reuben Parks 24 and wife, her son William Parks 26, her daughter Sarah Lyngatt [sic] 18, her son James McKittrick 13, and two children Enos Lapoint, 9 and Cynthia Dennison, later McKittrick, 5

Portage Creek was a town in the state of Indiana, in the United States of America. The town had its own law enforcement agency, the Portage Creek Police Department (PCPD).
In 2001, construction of the Millennium Gate commenced in Portage Creek, prompting many businesses in the town to shut down, such as a local coffee shop, and the local newspaper, The Morning Observer, whose offices moved. One store called Alexandria Books, owned by Henry Janeway, would not close down despite being asked to. Shannon O'Donnel (an ancestor of Kathryn Janeway) met Janeway and was able to convince him to close the shop before New Year's Eve, even after some conflicts between the two individuals. Construction on the Millennium Gate continued.
The Millennium Gate project was completed in Portage Creek in about 2012. (VOY: "11:59")

A short drive south of Dublin city, in one of Ireland's most scenic locations in the beautiful Wicklow Hills, this deluxe hotel set in the 47 acre Powerscourt Estate contributes a wide range of amenities to the area. Reminiscent of a formally iced wedding cake when seen from across the hills, the crescent shaped building is in fact designed to sit as neatly as possible into its forested site.
Entry is on the fourth floor, where palatial public areas are designed to make the most of the wonderful location overlooking formal landscaped gardens and the Sugarloaf mountain beyond; informal meals are served in these areas, and the welcome aroma of open fires adds a human dimension.
Accommodation, in quite traditionally furnished suites and rooms, is to a predictably luxurious level throughout, with items like signature linens and marble bathrooms as standard and the hotel lays a special emphasis on service (including details like evening turndown service for VIP rooms).
Resort amenities include the existing 36-hole championship-quality Powerscourt Golf Club golf complex, and a 30,000 square foot spa with VIP suites, 20 treatment rooms, and an equally impressive Fitness Centre, a children's activity programme and babysitting services.
With such an exceptional location and state-of-the-art meeting and event amenities, this is a sought-after venue for a wide range of events, both corporate and private, including weddings.
The dining experiences offered range from casual meals in McGills Irish Pub or Afternoon Tea in the foyer lounge area (aptly named The Sugar Loaf Lounge), to fine dining on the terrace. There is also a newer contemporary restaurant, The White Pheasant, at the Golf Club.
Conferences/Banqueting (500/350); broadband wi/fi; business centre, secretarial services, video conferencing, laptop sized safes in bedrooms. Golf (36), walking, gardens, leisure centre (pool, fitness room, steam room, jacuzzi); Destination Spa (treatment rooms, massage etc); Equestrian, fishing (fly, coarse & sea), garden visits & hunting/shooting all nearby. Children welcome (under 5s free in parents room, cot available, baby sitting arranged, kids club). Wheelchair friendly. Rooms 200.
Sika Restaurant:
The formal dining room is surprisingly low-ceilinged, but large tables are generously spaced and in fine weather the large terrace is particularly appealing, offering diners the chance to absorb the mountain location al fresco.
Indoors a pale green palette has been used in an understated way, with floral rugs in camouflage colours the main features in this low-key room.
The menu tends to be high on luxury ingredients and seafood, and the cooking is contemporary. A Chef's Table is availabe for those who enjoy a close up kitchen/dining experience.
Adjoining the dining room is a classy bar - packed with large armchairs, it is a pleasant spot for aperitifs or digestifs.

Basically as soon as the announcement of the BlackBerry Z10 was done, vans hit the streets of Toronto bearing the good word of Peek and Hub as a part of the Keep Moving Tour. We bumped into another van this morning at the Rogers launch, and we couldn't help but take a few shots to share with you guys. On the inside of the van was a small NFC-based symbol-matching game, where, if won, you get a mysterious prize. Those interested can track these vans down by tweeting at them with the #KeepMovingTour hashtag.
We've already seen one facet of the Keep Moving Tour, but this one promises to be much more hands-on and grassroots. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest challenge for BlackBerry at this point is recapturing mindshare, and the only real way to do that is to get Z10s into people's hands and fully explain what's going on in BB10.
We didn't manage to catch these guys while they were ready to give out prizes, but be sure to keep an eye out for the vans in your hometown. Here are a few pictures so you know what to look for. What do y'all think of the campaign?

GSE, the state energy agency managing the auction, said a FIT was assigned to 400MW of authorised onshore projects, with winning bidders offering discounts ranging from 9.5-19% of a base auction price. Roughly another 600MW of projects, whose sponsors offered less competitive discounts of 2.4-9.45%, instead lost out in the auction. Another 100MW in projects were excluded for not meeting all auction criteria.
The situation was quite different from the first Italian tender, for which results were announced early this year. At that time, all bidders were assigned a FIT, and some got by with a discount of just 2.5% on the base price.
For wind projects coming online in 2014, the base price stands at €124.46/MWh, meaning that those awarded a FIT in the second tender and completing projects next year will receive a tariff between €100.19/MWh and €112.64/MWh. Prior to the advent of competitive auctions, the incentive price had stood at about €155/MWh although the FIT is good for 20 years rather than the 15 years of the old system.
A tariff was assigned to a diverse group of investors, with mid-sized Italian renewable players Asja Ambiente and Tozzi Renewable Energy (in which AXA Private Equity is a major investor), the development arm of Spain's Gamesa, EDP Renewables and Italian utility Edison among those receiving a FIT. "The auction results show that there is still room for pure renewable players in the Italian market," notes Anna Spanò, a partner with the law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. "A lot of people thought that only the big utilities would be able to compete in the auction process."
Tomnaso Barbetti, a partner with renewable energy consultancy Elemens, cautions that some of the discounts offered in the auction may have been overly aggressive. "It remains to be seen if some investors will be able to complete their projects because it looks like it will be difficult to make the books balance."
Projects sited in the region of Basilicata accounted for some 244MW of FIT assigned through the auction process. Once seen as hostile to the development of wind energy, local government in this wind-rich region have become more receptive to wind projects in the last few years.
Total wind capacity in that region now stands at about 384MW. Meanwhile, an additional 52.5MW of small-scale wind projects were assigned a FIT outside of the auction process, with the largest of these potential wind farms coming in at 1MW. No bidders applied for the FIT potentially available to 620MW in offshore wind farms, raising hopes that some of that capacity might instead be available for additional onshore wind projects in the future.
