Felicia Smith is a young, beautiful, vivacious personal trainer who found herself fighting the biggest opponent of her life: breast cancer. We are pleased to announce that she bested her adversary and in so doing, she discovered Nature's Essential Ingredients and earned her B.A. at Auburn University in occupational therapy. An oncology patient, she needed a shampoo and body wash that would not compromise her already depleted immune system. When she was referred to Nadean Day as a stylist, she was immediately drawn to the natural products Nadean Day created. Please listen to her testimony at how she used NEI's Almond Soy Shampoo as a body wash. These products are now available in a number of hospitals for other oncology patients.

Good News! NEI Products Approved by the Baylor Hospital Oncology Department for sale at Special Boutique for Cancer Patients
November 8, 2010
Hear the interview with Nadean Day, Founder of NEI
Nadean Day Interview with Isidra Person-Lynn Nov. 07, 2010 by firstname.lastname@example.com
Nature's Essential Ingredients (NEI) is proud to announce that the Department of Oncology at Baylor Hospital have approved products from NEI Beauty Care to be carried in its Ernie's Appearance Center, a special boutique available to help patients look and feel their best during their cancer treatment. Ernie's carries hair alternatives, wig selections, hats, scarves, head wraps, Breast prosthesis, Vitamins and nutritional support products. Now added to those products are NEI's Almond Soy Shampoo, Aquasilk, and Silk Almond Serum.
"We are extremely excited to get this endorsement," said Nadean Day, founder and creator of Nature's Essential Ingredients. "It's definitely for me its like an open door that will lead us into more hospitals that we can help more people."
When Nadean started her natural products line three years ago, that was her intent. "When I started out, that's what I had in my mind–to really and truly help my clients who were having problems with their hair, scalp and skin. But never did I dream it would help people undergoing chemotherapy. I am probably more excited about this than anything," said Nadean.
It all started when Nadean met Felisha Smith, a personal fitness trainer, who was undergoing chemotherapy. She had very short, sparse hair and was attracted to the natural ingredients in NEI. While Nadean styled her hair only once, Felicia began using the products at home. After about six months, she reported that her hair had grown back thicker and better than it was before. Around that time, another of Nadean's clients, Ethel Randall-Corbet, Corporate System Director of the Breast Imaging Department at Baylor Charles A. Sammons Hospital shared some of NEI's products with the oncology doctors there. After they reviewed the ingredient list, they approved the products to be offered at Ernie's.
"Many of our customers use the Almond Soy Shampoo as a body wash, and use the 100% Natural Silk Almond Serum with Jojoba all over their bodies. If a product is natural, you should be able to use the product virtually anywhere," said Nadean.
NEI has been known to ease other maladies: Nadean's co-stylist at Salon Six 9 in Fort Worth, Maile Johnson, suffered from contact dermatitis. She had a bad case of eczema. Her doctors discovered that she was allergic to all preservatives in shampoos and lotions and conditions. That is unfortunate because it is her job to use such chemicals in her profession. Maile and Nadean looked at every product in their shop and found none without preservatives and chemicals except NEI and one other. Mailey was compelled to use NEI exclusively and soon reported that her back cleared up, (she washed her hair in the shower, so suds would run down her back) and her cracked and bleeding finger tips starters clearing up in a few month's time.
NEI is only available online at http://www.NEIBeautycare.com, through distributors, at Salon Six 9 in Fort Worth and at Ernie's Appearance Center, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., located in the Baylor Sammons Cancer Center 1st floor lobby, 3535 Worth St, Dallas, TX 75246 or call (214) 820-8282.

A testimonial from Rosalind Evans, a CPA, Married, Mother of 3 sons
and long time customer from Fort Worth.
Since Rosalind was 19, she started putting relaxer in her hair, against the advice of her mother. She had long hair that had a natural curl, but Rosalind had moved to Washington D.C., where she attended Howard University, and there she met humidity like she had never known. She felt she needed something in her hair.
It wasn't long before her hair started breaking off. Alarmed, her previous hairdresser referred her to Nadean Day. That was 22 years ago, and the two clicked from the beginning.
Back then, Nadean's daughter, Alexis, was only one year-old, and Rosalind wasn't even married, but Nadean was known for having healing hands throughout the industry. Some believed she could grow peach fuzz into a page boy!
As Nadean's experienced techniques began to heal Rosalind's hair, the two started to experiment with different hair styles and products.
Rosalind was looking so good, her boyfriend popped the question. Unfortunately, as her wedding day neared, and plans for her wedding consumed her life, her hair started to break again. During other high stress times, like after the birth of each child, she'd have to cut her hair off and start all over again.
"It was short, but cute," she said. "Nadean would style a bang in front and I got a lot of compliments on it. I let her experiment with all kinds of cuts and colors."
When her hair grew long again, Nadean encouraged her to use a roller set. Rosalind balked because she did not want to look like an old lady at night, but she became a believer when the lack of applied heat allowed her hair to grow right back.
No matter the hair crisis, Nadean was always able to coax Rosalind's hair back to life. She would take her off the blow dryer, or try other preventive measures, but still Rosalind wanted to perm her hair 3 or 4 times a year.
"Today, I don't have a relaxer on my hair any more," Rosalind affirmed. "It was thinning my hair, so I had to make a choice. Since I colored my hair as well, and since I had been getting a relaxer since I was 19, it was the relaxer that had to go."
Rosalind reminisced about the day when Nadean asked her to try her new hair care product she'd developed at home. She was a willing subject. The first product she tried was the Nature's Essential Ingredients Serum and she loved it.
"I like it because it is light. I like the fragrance and just use a little bit on my hair, she said, gesturing. "I also use it on my hands, elbows, knees– and I use it on my boys. In addition, they use the shampoo, and the spray Aquasilk. My all natural hair responded to it well." She now has it flat-ironed, or she washes it and braids it, then finger combs it out for a wavy style.
How? Rosalind says she uses the Aquasilk to moisturize and section each braid and the Coconut Almond butter (which is about to be released!) for shine, then on the ends she will apply the Beta Carotene as a dressing and let it curl up. "Braiding is like setting my hair, so I will wear it braided 3 or 4 days, because it is easier. I even use the Beta Carotene along the edges to hold them down. Then, when I take the braids out, I have a different style."
Rosalind said she did not know what she would do without Nadean. "I am not going anywhere. Even if she retires, I will go to her house and she can to do my hair in her kitchen chair," she laughed. Then, as an afterthought she mused: " A lot of good things have come from Nadean's kitchen."
Stylists: Are your hands reacting to chemicals?
August 18, 2010
For years, stylist Jeanne Summerfield-Brice has worked in the salon with Nadean Day, NEI product creator and founder. So when Nadean started bringing the early samples of her products for her colleagues to try, Jeanne fell in love with them.
She had been struggling with contact dermatitis, which happens when you are constantly putting your hands in chemicals while you are doing hair. Nature's Essential Ingredients came to her rescue! Watch her testimonial!
Nature's Essential Ingredients Stopped My Shedding
August 18, 2010
ShirJuanda Woodson, 17
High School Junior, DeSoto, TX
One day, popular radio personality Michael Baisden was hosting a show about natural products. Nadean Day, creator of Nature's Essential Ingredients (NEI), received a call from the show's producers inviting her on the air as a guest. (You can hear it yourself on the front page of our website or by clicking here!) One caller phoned to say that his daughter had gone to Nadean, and that she had created miracles. Thanks to Nadean's own product line, Nature's Essential Ingredients, his daughter's broken-off hair had grown back!
After the interview, Nadean's phones started ringing off the hook and NEI had taken off!
The daughter the caller was referring to was 17 year old ShirJuanda Woodson of DeSoto, TX. She had been suffering from eczema which plagued her knees and elbows and the dry flaky condition had begun affecting her hair. The worrisome skin condition made her hair brittle, which caused her long hair, which grew half way down her back, to break off. To stop the breakage, she had her hair cut to shoulder length but when she tried to grow it out, it continued to break.
A friend of her godmother's suggested she go to Nadean Day. "That was a year and a half ago" said a beaming ShirJuanda. "Not only did she help my hair grow back healthier, but I had been using her serum on my elbows and knees and it is helping my eczema go away!"
When all looked lost, Nadean gave her young client hope. "She's a motivator, " said ShirJuanda. "She keeps you going. That's what I really love about her!"
We really do appreciate all of the hard work many of you put into making our Southern California Launch successful. It was a beautiful day. Thanks to Explorer Studios, we have some video and photos to share with you. We hope you are enjoying your new products!

Happy Mother's Day all! We just completed our first contest on Facebook! (Join our page on Facebook at NEI Beautycare)
Our winner is Denise Malachi Inman who wrote:
My mom used to whistle through her teeth when she pressed my hair. The problem was she was blowing that heat from the comb straight down on my scalp. If I flinched she'd tell me to keep still or she might burn me all the while she was burning me! Believe me, the smell of Ultra Sheen & pressed hair … Great memories!
Denise won the complete product line for NEI Beautycare. Congratulations, Denise! Hope you had a Happy Mother's Day! After you've used them for awhile, comment on Facebook or this blog to let us know how you like our products!

Deborah Henson, Fort Worth, TX | Inventory Analyst | Married with three sons.
I have been a client of Nadean Day's almost 9 years. She's an awesome person who s always giving advice tips on your hair.
About 6 years ago, I had moved away from the area, and my hair suffered! When I moved back to Fort Worth, Nadean had been doing a lot of people in the salon. Whenever she started creating her new products, my hair started to come back to life again.. I even had a bald spot (since childhood) and what she was putting on my hair filled in the spot and started making that area grow out .
Since I get my hair done often, they use all of the products on me. I wear my hair layered, or sometimes in a shoulder length bob. My hair is semi-coarse and what I really like is that these products make my hair softer, smoother and more manageable! I work out a lot and exercise, and I sweat, but I can roll it at night and comb it out so it is very manageable in between time! (I see her every two weeks.)
Nadean has some "dern" good products! I tell my friends and relatives and after they fall in love with them, they go on-line and purchase products they love.
"My hair is back, stronger than ever!"
Djuana Lacey, Fort Worth, Texas. Security Guard, Single, 45
I love Nadean's products! Nadean has been my stylist for 18 years and I would go to her every two weeks, religiously. I love her, because she is consistent. She listens to you–whatever you want, she'll do it, unlike some hairdressers who are so opinionated.
One month, I was financially challenged, so I went to someone else and they put a perm in my hair, which broke it off. Horrified, I rushed back to Nadean. She started using her all natural products on me and my hair started coming back, stronger and healthier than it was before! I really love the butter she uses on my hair. I also use the NEI Almond Soy Shampoo and the Beta Carotene. They're great!

Preece, J. (2009). An event-driven community in Washington, DC: Forces that influence participation. Handbook of Research on Urban Informatics: The Practice and Promise of the Real-Time City. Hershey, PA: Information Science Reference, IGI Global.
This chapter describes a small networked community in which residents of an apartment building in Washington, D.C., USA supplement their face-to-face social interactions with a Yahoo e-mail listserver. Analysis of over 460 messages that have been archived since July 2000, when the list began, reveals that the issues driving participation on the list also drive participation off the list. Threats to safety, high rent increases, and changes in management practices, such as parking regulations and access to facilities, motivate communication on and offline. Furthermore, those who are most active online are typically most active offline. Activity on the list is strongly fuelled by interest and discussion around local events, hence the term event-driven, and is promoted by activist tenants. Friendly notes about new restaurants, bird observations and other niceties may help a little to create a sense of overall community, but they do little to motivate online participation.

White cement is typically specified to ensure clean, bright, consistent colors, including light pastels. White cement allows a wide range of color options for producing structural and architectural concrete, as well as masonry and cementitious building products. Although the final color and look of concrete and masonry materials are affected by many factors, the color of cement plays the most important role in colored concrete.
A cement of the same type and brand from the same mill should be used throughout the entire job to minimize color variation. When possible, adequate quantities of all materials – cement, supplementary cementing materials, and aggregates – should be stockpiled to ensure a single source and uniform color. Mock-ups constructed at the project site serve as reference panels for comparison. If a change in source materials is needed, additional test panels should be fabricated.
White cement is also used in a high amount for manufacturing precast members. Beautiful precast members are made utilizing the white Portland cement.

This is a poem that I learnt at school when I was eight. You can imagine my mother's horror when my little sister, aged six at the time, returned from a friend's birthday party, and the conversation went something like this.
– Did you have a nice time darling?
– Yes Mummy. We all had to do a party piece.
– Oh. Did you sing a song?
– No. I said Lance's poem.
– Which poem is that darling?
My friend Billy's got a ten foot willy,
And he showed it to the girl next door.
She thought it was a snake,
And hit it with a rake,
And now it's only five foot four!
I was in serious trouble!
You'll find more quick laughs on Titbits page.

Both parties brought motions for further and better affidavits of documents. Sanofi's motion was granted in part and Apotex's motion was denied. The Court stressed that the rules of procedure and in particular, those relating to affidavits of documents must be adhered to when the parties commit to a shortened schedule leading to trial.
The Court focused on the specificity of the pleadings and the lack of proof to show the existence of other relevant documents. Furthermore, the Court explicitly stated in several instances. that despite the failure of one party to prove that the other party had documents, by not producing those documents at this stage, the party in possession of them had made a decision not to use them at trial.
The full text of the decision can be found at:

While waiting for Suge Knight to finish getting a mani/pedi, police in LA detained funnyman Katt Williams after finding marijuana and a gun on his person...but no arrests were made! Get the details inside.....
Katt Williams had another run in with law enforcement recently, but this time he DIDN'T get arrested! The comedian was stopped by LAPD outside of a Subway shop recently after police alleged they were called to bust up a disturbance caused by Katt.
Katt was cuffed and placed in the back of a squad car after police found both marijuana and a gun in Katt's possession. While this would have normally spelled doom for any other troubled man, it turns out that Katt had all of his paperwork straight (including a medical marijuana card and a gun permit).
So what led to Katt being detained? Katt thinks the LAPD had racial motives. Of course. He told TMZ he was waiting in front of a Subway while his friend Suge Knight was finishing up with a manicure and pedicure when he was approached by cops. He claims there was no disturbance and after he was detained, a Subway employee even brought out sandwiches to Suge and Katt. How nice of them.
We're happy Katt didn't end up back in jail, but we hope this incident ends up on one of Katt's stand-up routines. The thought of Suge Knight getting a mani/pedi while Katt gets cuffed is quite humorous.

Rohingya militancy is gaining momentum. Not only are Rohingya in Myanmar backing it far more strongly than in the past, but a growing number of youth are taking up arms too.
Importantly, this has attracted the attention of transnational jihadis; the plight of the Rohingya is becoming a jihadist cause célèbre and jihadist leaders are rallying fighters to join the Rohingya militants.
The looming possibility of a new jihadist battlefield emerging in Myanmar's Rakhine state has set alarm bells ringing in South and Southeast Asian capitals.
The Rohingya are Muslim. Although they have lived in the northwestern corner of Rakhine state for centuries, Myanmar's government and its Burman-Buddhist majority regard them as "illegal migrants" from Bangladesh. They are denied citizenship, access to education and services, freedom of movement, and so on. A stateless people, they are often described as the world's most persecuted minority.
In the past, the Rohingya were not a radicalized population, nor did they see any merit in violent means to address their grievances. Thus militancy enjoyed little support among the Rohingya people.
There were some Rohingya youth who took up arms against the state in previous decades but they lacked presence or support on the ground. This was the case with the Rohingya Solidarity Organization, for instance, which carried out several attacks in Myanmar in the 1980s and 1990s. Operating from small bases in Bangladesh and lacking local support among the Rohingya people, this group faded away without making much impact.
New phase
The present phase of Rohingya militancy seems different.
Local Rohingya support for armed struggle is growing. Brutal military crackdowns and the Myanmar government's reluctance to rein in Buddhist militancy directed at the Rohingya has convinced a rising number of members of the community that violence is the only option to fight an oppressive state.
The current militancy appears to be better organized, too. On October 9 last year, militants attacked posts of Myanmar's Border Guard Police, killing nine policemen. The assault was a complex operation that involved hundreds of militants and showed a higher level of coordination, planning and knowledge of basic military tactics than in earlier attacks.
The attack was reportedly carried out by Harakah al-Yaqin (Faith Movement), a militant organization that emerged out of the waves of anti-Muslim violence that have engulfed Rakhine since 2012.
While the current militancy has its roots in local despair, the push for organizing it is coming from abroad. Mecca-based Rohingya émigrés are said to be behind Harakah al-Yaqin's formation. Its leader, Ataullah, is a Rohingya who was born in Karachi and grew up in Mecca.
Some 20-40 Rohingya with experience in fighting at other jihadist battlegrounds are in charge of the Harakah al-Yaqin's military operations on the ground in Rakhine.
Hundreds of Rohingya youth are reportedly being trained in camps in Bangladesh that are run by various jihadist groups. Their numbers can be expected to swell in the coming months, for several reasons.
For one, Rohingya anger with the Myanmar military is bubbling over. The crackdown that the military launched in response to the October attacks on police border posts is said to have left about 1,000 Rohingya dead. Entire villages were burned down and around 70,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh. Indeed, the torture, mass killings and gang rapes of Rohingya by the Myanmar military probably amount to crimes against humanity and possibly ethnic cleansing, United Nations officials have alleged.
This is likely to persuade more Rohingya not only to support the militancy but to join it.
In addition, groups like the Harakah al-Yaqin have gotten clerics to issue fatwas urging people to join the militants.
Jihadist solidarity
Videos and photographs that lay bare the terrible suffering of the Rohingya have come in handy for jihadist propaganda. Southeast Asian radicals such as Indonesia's Gerakan Reformis Islam, Front Pembela Islam and Komite Advokasi Muslim Rohingya-Arakan have not only expressed solidarity with the Rohingya, but their Facebook pages are replete with propaganda posts and pictures of the latter's plight, as well as calls to join the jihad in Rakhine. Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and the Islamic State group too are urging Muslims to join hands with the oppressed Rohingya.
So far the militancy in Rakhine is a Rohingya militancy. Its fighters are locals and their agenda is local. They want an end to the discrimination and repression they suffer in Myanmar. However, the agenda could change in the coming months as the militancy takes on a more Islamist agenda and the fighters are jihadist rather than just militants fighting for the Rohingya cause.
The Rohingya militancy is already being described as the world's newest Muslim insurgency. There is a real possibility of Rakhine state emerging as a jihadist battlefield.
That may provide Rohingya militants with more funds, fighters and firepower. But it would come at a heavy cost as international sympathy for the plight of the Rohingya would decline. They would become even less welcome abroad.

My best cure right now for not being bored is to go out! Drive and go out of town for a day.
It was really refreshing to see things for the first time! I remember doing things I've never done and it lights up my curiosity and become a true sponge soaking the experience.
It was fantastic to visit two new malls that I've never been – The Galleria from Al Maryah Island and The Outlet Village, that satisfied both my palette and shopping therapy requirement. It was a true delight to find a very delicious and satisfying Caramel Macchiato from Godiva Chocolate Cafe and dining to a new Chinese restaurant called Dai Pai Dong. I scored a 70% off leather Tod's loafer and 60% off Dolce & Gabbana baby jacket. I was having fun getting new work dress from Armani Exchange and Banana Republic with a totally ripped off price.
I am trying to contain myself not to go out again today; otherwise this becomes my new addiction. Yay! 🙂

Interested in learning what's next for the gaming industry? Join gaming executives to discuss emerging parts of the industry this October at GamesBeat Summit Next. Register today.
This article may contain spoilers for The Last of Us.
You spent years waiting for developers to hurry up and release a big game. You bought it, took it home, and played through it in a couple of days. It was awesome.
But now what?
Read+Watch+Listen is about other material you might want to check out if you're just not ready to move on. We'll suggest media that share something in common with a particular game and tell you why it might be of interest.
GamesBeat Summit Next 2022
Join gaming leaders live this October 25-26 in San Francisco to examine the next big opportunities within the gaming industry.
In this installment, we're looking to supplement your experience with developer Naughty Dog's PlayStation 3-exclusive stealth/action/horror game The Last of Us, which came out a couple weeks ago.
'Children of Men'
If you couldn't get enough of: Jaded guys reluctantly transporting the most important girl on the planet for a rebel group.
We're starting a bit on-the-nose.
This ultrableak 2006 film from Alfonso Cuarón (director of Prisoner of Azkaban, the first legitimately good Harry Potter movie) stars Clive Owen and depicts a world where women have been unable to conceive children for almost 20 years. Owen's character, Theo Faron, must escort a pregnant woman through the United Kingdom, which has become a police state.
Children of Men's world is certainly more populated than the one in The Last of Us; overcrowding is actually a source of conflict as the U.K. government tries to manage the flood of immigrants seeking asylum due to the country's relative stability. Opposing the establishment is a band of rebels called The Fishes (called The Five Fishes in the original novel — compare this to the Fireflies in The Last of Us) who employ the hero to transport the woman and her precious cargo.
While the interactions between Faron and Kee, the pregnant refugee, don't really match those between Joel and Ellie, the hope that the two girls represent — fertility in the film and immunity to the cordyceps fungus in the game — gives them comparable roles in both stories. Throw in the conflict between the government and the rebels, with our ambivalent travelers just trying to survive in the middle, and Children of Men has plenty to call back your game experience and bring you down all over again.
'The Road'
If you couldn't get enough of: Postapocalyptic parenting, scrounging for supplies, and cannibals.
Cormac McCarthy's hyper-grim novel also came out in 2006 (what was up with 2006? Nobody was optimistic then) and tells the story of a man and his son making their way through the wasteland toward the sea after a global disaster that is never made specific but which apparently also destroyed most of the world's apostrophes.
You'll see what I mean when you read it.
Unlike Children of Men's Britain, the world in The Road is sparse. Encountering other people is rare but always tense because the duo must protect their valuable supplies from gangs of bandits, random thieves, and cannibals.
The section of the book dealing with cannibalism is particularly depraved; it makes the comparable sequence in The Last of Us almost boring by comparison. While David and his followers are certainly immoral, violent, and demented in the game, The Road introduces its readers to the actual mechanics of human ranching in a single grotesque scene.
More poignantly, however, both The Road and The Last of Us depict interactions between characters with different perspectives on the world. Both Joel and the man in the book know what life was like before the cataclysm; their wards do not. Look out for the scene in The Road in which the two discover an intact can of soda. Somehow, soda is this book's giraffes.
The Kingston Lounge
If you couldn't get enough of: The Last of Us's dilapidated, ruined settings.
The Kingston Lounge is a blog by Richard Nickel, Jr., devoted to "Guerrilla preservation and urban archaeology." Each post contains photos and descriptions of a particular abandoned building, some of which have not seen use in decades.
If you spent a lot of time admiring The Last of Us's run-down renditions of familiar locations like hotels, schools, and restaurants, you might enjoy looking at some real-life wrecks like Ellis Island's Baggage and Dormitory building or The Waldo Hotel in Clarksburg, W.Va. Or, what the hell, how about an insane asylum or two?
'I Am Legend'
If you couldn't get enough of: Bill, the haunted survivor in Lincoln.
Don't worry — this entry isn't about any of the movies, but 1964's The Last Man on Earth will always have a special place in my heart.
The recently deceased author Richard Matheson's 1954 novel is still one of the must-read horror books. It tells the story of Robert Neville, the only remaining human on the planet; everyone else is a vampire. By day, Neville scavenges the desiccated husk of Los Angeles for supplies and food, stopping occasionally to dispatch any nests of undead he finds. At night, he huddles inside his fortified house while his former friends and neighbors stand outside and taunt him to come out.
It's an engrossing character study that deals with survival, guilt, and the isolation that accompanies both. Neville's ordeal closely mirror's Bill's in The Last of Us — the only human in a city full of infected — but is actually more harrowing because unlike Bill, Neville has no human contact whatsoever.
This book influenced George Romero's zombie classic Night of the Living Dead, which means that if you are at all tired of zombies at this point, you can blame Matheson. But don't really blame Matheson because this book is amazing.
Orson Welles' 'The War of the Worlds'
If you couldn't get enough of: What the start of the end of the world looks like.
The opening sequence of The Last of Us shows us a quiet moment in Joel and his daughter Sarah's lives moments before the cordyceps outbreak begins. Once that begins, however, the streets erupt into chaos. Everyone's running, and nobody's entirely clear on what is going on.
If those opening moments of panic are your thing, you might want to check out Orson Welles' radio drama based on H.G. Wells' 1898 novel about invaders from Mars. Broadcast as a Halloween special in 1938, Welles' show is said to have caused widespread panic when late-arriving listeners mistook the dramatized "reports" from the Martian landing sites as real. That's what some newspapers reported, anyway.
If you're interested in the complete story — along with other tales of puckish radio types driving entire cities into a tizzy — check out this episode of public radio station WNYC's Radiolab. And if you'd like to hear what all the fuss was about, here's the entire original broadcast:
I haven't read, watched, and listened to everything, obviously. Do you have another piece of media that goes with The Last of Us? Feel free to share in the comments. And be sure to check out the other entries in this series here.

It's snowing outside! The ground is already covered with a white blanket, and there's no sign of a let-up. My hubby has to be on the road today — I'm praying for a safe trip. Roads turn into a sheet of ice quickly here in this type of weather. I'll hunker down and work all day in my office, thankful to be able to stay home.
This morning I read something that I'd read many times before but never really noticed. You know how Moses watched his father-in-law's flocks? His tool for that job was a shepherd's staff (Exod. 4:2). When God gave him the task of leading the Israelites out of Egypt, that staff took on new significance. Verse 20 says Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and headed back to Egypt. "In his hand he carried the staff of God."
Wow — the simple shepherd's staff became the staff of God!
What would be the equivalent in my life? A pen, perhaps. For years I used a pen to write missionary newsletters and notes of encouragement to friends. Then one day, God gave me my writing assignment. Suddenly the pen became the very tool He chose to use. for an expanded ministry.
I love how God works. He can use whatever He wishes to accomplish His purposes through us. I have a friend who enjoys baking bread. That's the tool she uses to show love to others. Another friend makes pretty notecards. Someone else crochets dishcloths and gives them away as little gifts.
God wants to use us to build His kingdom, and He wants to use what's already in our hand. The simplest tool becomes "the staff of God" when we're willing to obey Him.
What's your staff?

Exploring Our Fluid Earth
Teaching Science as Inquiry
Traditionally, salt was harvested from either solar evaporation ponds or rock deposits. Salt evaporation ponds are shallow, artificial basins designed to extract salt from seawater, salty lakes, or mineral-rich springs through natural evaporation (SF Fig. 2.4). As the water dries up, the salt crystals are harvested by raking. Salt evaporation ponds are almost entirely located in warm climates with high evaporation and low precipitation (little rain). Today, seawater is sometimes filtered to remove impurities before solar evaporation.
There are two types of salt formed by evaporation of seawater and harvested using traditional methods; fleur de sel (flower of salt) and sel gris (grey salt). Although these are French words, they can also refer to salt produced outside of France. Fleur de sel is hand-harvested sea salt that is collected from the top of salt ponds. It is white, crispy, and flaky. It is often used as a "finishing" salt to flavor foods right before eating (SF Fig. 2.5 A). Fleur de sel is not produced in large quantities and is labor-intensive, thus it can be very expensive. Sel gris, in contrast, comes from the same solar evaporation salt ponds as fleur de sel but is produced in greater quantities and harvested differently. Sel gris salt crystals fall to the bottom of the pond before being collected. Sel gris is generally grey, composed of large cube-like course crystals, and has a higher mineral concentration than fleur de sel (SF Fig. 2.5 B).
Native Hawaiians used sea salt, pa'akai ("to solidify the sea"), to season and preserve food, for religious and ceremonial purposes, and as medicine. Preserving food like i'a (fish) and he'e (octopus) was essential not just for storage on land, but also to provide nourishment during ocean voyages. In Hawai'i, sea salt can be collected from rocky shoreline pools, were it occurs as a result of natural solar evaporation. Native Hawaiians also harvested sea salt on a larger scale through the use of man-made shallow clay ponds. One of the few active salt ponds is located on the island of Kaua'i near Salt Pond Park in the ahupua'a (watershed) of Hanapepe, where salt is made according to ancient traditions.
In Hanapepe, underground seawater is accessed from deep wells and held in holding pools, where the seawater becomes concentrated through evaporation, and then transferred to shallow ponds (SF Fig. 2.6 A). The amount of time it takes until the salt is ready to be harvested from the shallow ponds depends on environmental factors like precipitation. Salt is not harvested during the winter months when it is rainy. During harvest, the top, white sea salt is raked, rinsed, and dried (SF Fig. 2.6 B). This salt is used like table salt. Some of the white salt is also mixed with red 'alaea clay, which is collected from the mountains of Waimea (SF Fig. 2.6 C). The red color comes from iron oxide in the clay. Native Hawaiians believe that 'alaea gives the salt spiritual power; it is used in traditional ceremonies, for ritual blessings and purifying, and for healing purposes.
The middle layer of salt is a pinkish color and also used for seasoning, blessings, and medicine. The bottom layer of salt, which is only harvested once at the end of the season, is brown. It is used as bleach, for pickling, for blessings, and to maintain kalo (taro, a root vegetable) loʻi (fields) and loko iʻa (fish ponds).
Although the Hawaiian salt produced at Hanapepe is harvested using traditional methods, it does not meet strict "food grade" requirements according to the U.S. government. This means the salt may be given as a gift or traded, but it cannot be commercially sold. Because 'alaea does not meet "food grade" requirements, "'alaea salt" sold in stores is not made with authentic 'alaea clay. These requirements are in place to protect the consumer. Interestingly, the cost of manufacturing salt also prevents most "Hawaiian salt" from being produced in Hawai'i. Here is a Youtube video about the Traditional Saltmaking in Hawai'i.
Salts that are harvested from rock deposits were formed by the evaporation of ancient seas. Rock salt can be mined directly, as shown in SF Fig. 2.7, or acquired by pumping a solvent, like water, into the deposit. Water dissolves the salt, forming a salty brine solution. The salt is then harvested by dehydrating the brine solution. Today, the brine solution may be treated with filtration or chemicals to purify it before dehydration.
Unrefined salt contains small amounts of minerals, sediments, and algae that affect the color and taste of the salt. The unique composition of the salt reflects where the salt was harvested. Specialty salts may also be flavored or smoked. Some flavors that have been added to salt include citrus (like lime or lemon), vanilla, celery, truffle, and espresso.
Some salts have become famous for their distinctive color or taste. These are some examples of famous salts:

White House Blasts Republican 'Obsession' with Rice and Benghazi
The Daily Banter Headline Grab. From Yahoo! News:
The White House sharply escalated its attacks Tuesday on Republicans trying to stop Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice from succeeding Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. Press secretary Jay Carney described GOP lawmakers as being gripped by a politically fueled "obsession" with a series of television appearances Rice made shortly after the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in which she wrongly suggested the attack had stemmed from a demonstration over an anti-Muslim video rather than a terrorist assault.
Carney's comments came after Rice met privately on Capitol Hill with Republican senators who have said they intend to block her nomination if President Barack Obama chooses her to replace Clinton as the nation's top diplomat. Rice also acknowledged for the first time, in a written statement issued by her office, that her initial public comments on the Benghazi assault were wrong because there had been no protest outside the compound.

The Quick and the Safe
A MARINE BASE NEAR FALLUJAH -- When media describe Fallujah as "an insurgent stronghold outside Baghdad," they don't quite convey just how close the cities are. A fast car (if you don't have a fast car in Iraq, I recommend getting one) will bring you from one city to the other in considerably less than half an hour. The first time I made the trip, I was fiddling with my bags and hadn't even buckled my seat belt when we arrived on the edge of Fallujah, at a gas station full of men giving me icy stares.
During this latest period of transport, I have been sorely tempted to walk out to the road and grab a taxi. I started from the site of my last post, on Baghdad's rive gauche, and now, 31 hours later, I am here in Fallujah, at the end of a journey by truck, bus, helicopter, and armored convoy. A beat-up Corolla would have taken thirty minutes. This is like taking as much time to get from the White House to Washington-Dulles Airport as it takes to get from Dulles to Sydney, Australia. The glacial pace (I use the word advisedly; it is 120 degrees here) is largely due to security. No vehicle goes unarmed, and no passenger travels without logging onto a manifest, and declaring her vital information, not limited to name and blood type. Paperwork slows down movement.
Days ago I marveled at how little gunfire and how few explosions I heard in Baghdad. The lengths to which the US has gone to harden its targets, and to insulate its personnel from harm, explain at least in part how that violence has begun to abate. In Baghdad's International ("Green") Zone, the labyrinth of concrete blast-barriers renders many insurgent tactics, such as lobbing in rockets and mortars, much less effective, since the kill radii of their weapons extends only as far as the nearest barrier. Armed Peruvian guards man checkpoints, and take pride in being sticklers. (One of them, from Trujillo, broke character briefly and told me he missed ceviche, and that the only fish available in Baghdad were ugly mudsuckers from the bottom of the Tigris.)
The general point is that the terms "safety" and "calm" cry out for nuance. Baghdad may be safer than I have ever known it, but it is a place where safety consists in knowing with a high degree of certainty that I will arrive alive, having traveled a minuscule distance in thickly plated vehicles escorted by heavily armed, highly trained men. Of course, many others -- Iraqi and foreign -- make these trips all the time, with little or no security and much less fear of harassment than they would have had three years ago. But the hyper-cautious, hilariously inefficient modes of movement I have endured over the last day show that the victory over violence in Iraq is hardly complete.

with these Bacon Avocado Cups with Balsamic Glaze.
Then we did a simple WOD of 8 minutes AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 200m run, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 lunges on each side. I made it through 3 rounds, plus the run, push ups, and 5 sit ups. It was tough! I suck at doing push ups with my elbows tucked in close to my body, dropping my chest all the way to the ground. I need to work on those!
Day 21:
Shayna came over this afternoon and we organized my spare bedroom (aka my closet). It felt so good to get rid of things, straighten up, and reevaluate my clothes! Apparently none of my shorts fit, including all of my favorite pairs, so that's bittersweet! Guess I have to go shopping... bummer ;) We're going to work on some of the other rooms in the house in the next few weeks and I can't wait.
Day 22:

I was in a staff meeting a couple of weeks ago when the answer given by one of our senior staff members to a question was "Well I have a choice, I can be right or I can be effective – I am choosing to be effective."
Those were the only words I wrote in my pad that day and I have been staring at them for a couple of weeks now. They bother me. Why? Because I want to be both right and effective and I don't like to even entertain the thought of having to choose. However, I know better than that. I left my rose-colored glasses somewhere with my Elton John LPs and I realize that we have to make this choice frequently.
Let's be clear about this choice as we begin to talk about it though. This choice is usually not about compromise, unless we are referring to the fact that we are compromising our principles in making it. This choice is about giving in or giving up in order to make something happen. Compromise usually involves both parties giving something up to reach agreement. Choosing between being right or being effective means you lose, they win on an issue with you banking on the idea that you are willing to lose the battle but hopefully win the war.
This can be a successful strategy, particularly better than winning the battle but losing the war, but it can also be a slippery slope and if taken too often can lead to problems. What kind of problems? Let me enumerate a few:
- Choosing this path too often can lead others to believe that you are a pushover, thus they will no longer even try to compromise with you, and instead they will make demands and expect you to give in on your principles.
- Choosing this path too often will eat at you as a manager – after all, you're giving in/up on something you believe to be right/true and if you do that too often what are you left with?
- Your staff observes you and they mentally keep track of your winnings and losses, particularly if they share the belief/principle that you are giving up on and it causes them work that they find "distasteful." Do this enough and you will lose all credibility with your staff and they will consider you spineless.
- Choosing this path and not frequently winning the war means that you are good at appeasing people but should make you wonder if you are truly managing anything?
So having said the above, when do you make this decision and how do you go about handling the repercussions?
First, this can often be a situational decision but it really requires forethought on your part and it should be a conscious decision, not a knee-jerk reaction. So try to avoid having to make this choice on the spot if you can avoid it.
In order to do that, you should first seek to make sure your position is clear and well understood. You can do this by simply saying "Please forgive me but I don't think I am making myself clear. If I may, let me restate my thinking on this." You always want to avoid making it seem as if they can't comprehend what you are saying (even if it is the case.)
After ensuring that your position is understood, determine if you are still encountering resistance or whether you have agreement. If you are butting up against resistance then you need to do some quick evaluation:
- Who am I talking with?
- What power do they have?
- What are the possible repercussions of standing your ground?
- Are you the final authority or representing someone who has the final authority?
- What are the stakes involved? Are you being asked to give in on an important principle or something relatively minor?
Ideally, you will have thought all of this through before your encounter. However, there are times when it has to be done on the fly. In either case, if you're not the final authority you often can defer and say that you have a difference of opinion and need to take it back to a higher authority. This gives you more time to further evaluate the situation.
If that's not possible, your next goal is to reach compromise. Most people are willing to work with you if given the chance and being a creative compromiser is a valuable skill. Just look to Henry Clay as an example. In Mr. Clay, we have a historical figure whose whole reputation was built on bringing people together in compromise.
If you are unable to defer or compromise and have to make the choice of being right or effective, make sure you let the people know who are being impacted by your decision why you made it. You can stand by it, there is no sin in that – but making the decision and then letting those impacted speculate as to why you succumbed is worse than giving the actual facts – if you can. There will be those times when you cannot share that information, but I have found those to be less frequent than one would think.
In summary, having to choose between being right or being effective is a typical task for a leader at any level of an organization. In fact, you don't have to be in a managerial or supervisory position to be faced with this kind of decision. In all cases, it should make you uncomfortable that you have to do so, but with some skill and finesse you will find that more often than not you can turn the situation around or at minimum reach a compromise.

Austrian government announced to Shut Saudi-Funded Center Over HR Violations
The Austrian government has announced plans to shut a Saudi-funded center in Vienna over the possible execution of a teenager arrested in Saudi Arabia for participation in an anti-regime protest.
The decision comes after the members of the far-right Freedom Party, the liberal Neos and Social Democrats passed a motion in Austria's parliament to stop the activities of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID).
"This is a signal for human rights in Saudi Arabia, which hopefully will be copied by many, not just in Europe," lawmaker Peter Pilz, a critic of Saudi Arabia, wrote on Twitter.
The motion also called on the government and the Foreign Ministry to "use all political and diplomatic means available" in a bid to prevent the execution of Murtaja Qureiris, who was arrested in 2014.
"A fundamental human right, namely taking part in a demonstration, is enough for the Saudi Arabian government to execute a juvenile," Pilz said in a separate statement.
Qureiris was 10 years old when he was filmed taking part in a bike protest in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. In the film, he is seen lifting a megaphone and pressing it against his lips. "The people demand human rights!" he shouts.
He was shortly afterwards charged with accompanying his activist brother, Ali Qureris, on a motorcycle ride to a police station in the eastern Saudi city of Awamiya. Ali allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at the police station there.
Murtaja was 11 when his brother died while taking part in protests, which Saudi officials described as violent.
He was 13 years old, when Saudi authorities arrested him as he was traveling with his family to Bahrain. At the time, Qureris was considered by lawyers and activists to be the youngest known political prisoner in Saudi Arabia.
According to reports, the public prosecutor is now seeking the death penalty against him over several charges ranging from joining the terrorist organizations to throwing Molotov cocktails at a police station and marching at his brother's funeral.
Saudi Arabia executed 37 people just in a single day in April, at least three of whom were minors, according to rights groups. It is one the countries that routinely applies the death penalty, often by beheading.
KAICIID is a shared project launched in 2012 based on a treaty signed by Austria, Spain and Saudi Arabia.
The Vatican is a founding observer of KAICIID and has representation on its board, which by treaty must include three Christians, three Muslims, a Jew, a Hindu and a Buddhist.

Mountain reedbuck
|Mountain reedbuck
|Scientific classification
R. fulvorufula
|Binomial name
|Redunca fulvorufula
(Afzelius, 1815)
Western mountain reedbuck
Chanler's mountain reedbuck
Southern mountain reedbuck
The mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula) is an antelope found in mountainous areas of much of sub-Saharan Africa.
There are three recognized subspecies.
- Redunca fulvorufula adamauae - Adamawa mountain reedbuck
- Redunca fulvorufula chanleri - Chanler's mountain reedbuck (named for William A. Chanler)
- Redunca fulvorufula fulvorufula - Southern mountain reedbuck
The mountain reedbuck averages 75 cm (30 in) at the shoulder, and weighs around 30 kg (66 lb). It has a grey coat with a white underbelly and reddish-brown head and shoulders. The male has ridged horns of around 15.2 cm (6.0 in), which curve forwards. Both sexes have a dark scent patch beneath the ears.[2]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The mountain reedbuck occurs in three separate geographic areas, each containing a separate subspecies. The southern mountain reedbucks inhabits an area from the eastern Cape Province (South Africa) to southeastern Botswana. Chanler's mountain reedbuck occurs in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, and Ethiopia. The Adamawa mountain reedbuck has only been found in Cameroon. The species occupies ridges and hillsides in rocky country and high-altitude grasslands (often with some tree or bush cover), at altitudes of 1,500-5,000 m.[1][2]
Current total population of all subspecies has been estimated at some 36,000 individuals.[1]
Mountain reedbucks are predominantly grazers, and water is an important habitat requirement. They tend to feed in the early evening and morning hours, normally in small groups of six or fewer animals. A typical group is made up of one adult male and several adult females and juveniles. Adolescent males are forced out of their herds and form small bachelor herds. Lifespan in the wild is unknown, but specimens of related species in captivity have been recorded to live up to 18 years.[2]
The mountain reedbuck is subject to some pressure from hunting and human encroachment on its habitat, and current populations appear to be declining. This species is classified as Endangered by the IUCN.[1]

Utah Poised to Be first State with .05 DUI Law
Utah is poised to be the first state in the country to adopt .05 as the standard for driving under the influence of alcohol. Alabama's DUI law could see the same change in the future. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that legislators in Utah have passed a law lowering the legal BAC for drivers to .05. It is expected that the governor will sign it into law. For many years now .08 has been the legal standard in all 50 states. Before that, .10 was the ubiquitous standard in America. The .05 standard has become the predominant legal limit throughout much of Europe, and the National Transportation Safety Board has been pushing for the stricter standard for years. This is just the first domino. We will likely see the .05 standard enacted in other states, including potentially Alabama in a the next few years.
Expungement of DUI and other Criminal Charges Continues Throughout Alabama in 2016
According to Alabama DUI defense attorney Phil Price, throughout 2016, he and his law partners have continued to see many people seeking to clean up their Alabama criminal record through Alabama's expungement law. His firm has been able to get expungements for many of these people, often quite quickly and for much less than what they thought it would cost.
Prior to a couple years ago, Alabama did not have a true expungement law. Old arrests and charges remained on a person's record forever. That has now changed. Now most criminal charges are eligible for an expungement proceeding, provided the charge was dismissed, nolle prossed, or the person was acquitted.
Having a record of an arrest or criminal charge can make it more difficult to find a good job and can prove an embarrassment, even where the charge is ultimately resolved in your favor. Having that old arrest and charge expunged from your record can help. However, getting a charge expunged is not guaranteed. The district attorney and any "victim" can object to the court granting the charge, and the judge ultimately makes the decision whether or not to grant an expungement. Having a attorney who knows the law to help you each step of the process can help maximize your change of success.
A quick call to Price Law Firm PC for quick, free, no obligation, phone consultation can help you determine if an expungement proceeding is right for you. Call today at 256-536-6000.

Alabama Getting New Breath Testing Machine
From 1999 through the first half of 2016, Alabama exclusively used the Draeger 7110 MK-III for breath alcohol testing throughout the state. That is changing. The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences (DFS) is now implementing a new breath alcohol testing device, the Intoximeter Datamaster DMT-FC. It will be in use very soon; the latter part of 2016 or early 2017. The device, which we will refer to as the DMT for brevity, was manufactured originally at National Patent Analytical Systems (NPAS), located in Mansfield, Ohio. Intoximeters, Inc. bought the breath test section of NPAS and will be the supplier of the devices to the state. Intoximeters, Inc. has added a fuel cell to the DMT along with some other tweaks for Alabama. The photo above is the Alabama version of the DMT. It claims to have duel technology, both infrared and electrochemical. It has a touchscreen, an electronic driver's license reader, and a keyboard. There are three canisters of dry gas for calibration checks at three alcohol content levels. There will be a calibration check (cal-check) for all tests at a .02%. If a person blows a reading of .15% or higher, another cal-check will be done from a .15% dry gas canister. If a person blows a reading of below .15%, then the second cal-check will be done from the .08% canister. As the name "Datamaster" implies, the device will accumulate and store a lot of data, which is capable of being retrieved at a later time. Unlike its predecessor, there will be no breath temperature correction on the Alabama DMT, but there will be a reduction of every test result of approximately 10 per cent. The DMT also has shielding for radio frequency interference (RFI) as well as an external antenna for picking up any RFI.
The DMT for Alabama has an added feature that is not included on DMT machines in any other state. This added feature is an electrochemical fuel cell added in an effort to have a "duel technology" device. The Alabama DMT is known as the DMT-FC. The FC stands for fuel cell.
As of this writing in October of 2016, approximately 26 Datamaster DMT-FC breath-test devices are in the hands of the Department of Forensic Sciences, and more are on the way. One could say with a straight face that Alabama is reverting to 1970's technology in the breath-testing program. Alabama is going back to the 3.5 micron wavelength measurement area on the infrared spectra and back to using the chopper wheel for breaking up the signal, both of which it had moved away from when it adopted the Draeger in 1999. Technology continues to change and more and more information can be retained by the software and retrieved long after a citizen takes a breath test.
One of the reasons for Alabama's change from Draeger to Datamaster is the lack of availability of parts for the aging Draeger Alcotest 7110 devices. The state of Alabama has been using the Draeger since 1999. We will soon have new issues to defend on this new piece of equipment.

10./ 11.11.2011
The UK Home Office has banned the controversial Islamist group Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) ahead of its planned protest (Hell for Heroes) at Armisticie Day Ceremonies (as reported). The decision to ban the group was made by Home Secretary Theresa May, who said that MAC was "simply another name for an organisation already proscribed under a number of names" (e.g. Islam4UK). The group was originally set up by extremist preacher Omar Bakri, who fled the UK six years ago, and was now led by Anjem Choudary. The ban of the group makes it a criminal offence to be a member of or fundraise for MAC. Following the ban of the group, Anjem Choudary had his house searched by the police. Choudary dismissed this search as a "fishing expedition". While the MAC's Remembrance Day protests were cancelled following the ban, Choudary announced, however, that it will not stop him from propagating what he believes in.

NASA's New Horizons: Queen guitarist Brian May releases new song dedicated to mission
Brian May, lead guitarist of legendary rock band Queen, led a countdown to the new year for NASA's New Horizons team members, families and friends at The Johns Hopkins Physics Applied Laboratory in Maryland.
Approached by New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern to dedicate a song to the historic mission as it conducted its closest flyby to the most distant object visited by humankind, Ultima Thule, May released his first single in almost 20 years in dedication to the mission.
"This is probably going to be hard, because I can't think of anything that rhymes with Ultima Thule," May said at a news conference Dec. 31. The name means "beyond the known world."
But he found a way: May released his new song, "New Horizons (Ultima Thule Mix)" at 12:02 a.m. ET on NASA TV for the world to hear. The spacecraft flew past the planetesimal at 12:33 a.m., but teams wouldn't know about the mission's success until hours later.
"My song, my track, my anthem became about the human spirit endeavoring to discover the universe," May said.
The four-minute video highlights achievements humans have made in exploration.
"Gradually it dawned on me that this mission is about human curiosity," May said. "It's about the need of mankind to go out there an explore and discover what makes the universe tick and this has been going on since the dawn of time."
Aside from putting on a show, May, who is also an astrophysicist, made his own contributions as a participating scientist on the New Horizons project. He's worked with the team since the small spacecraft hurtled past Pluto in 2015, during which he helped create stereo images. By putting two similar images together on a stereo card, viewers can see as the images pop up in 3D through a stereoscope.
May also hopes to develop stereo images of Ultima Thule, if possible.
Over the next 20 months, scientists will study data transmitted by New Horizons to help understand geological features and composition of Ultima Thule and answer key questions about how our solar system formed.
"This mission represents more to me than the mission itself," May said. "It actually represents to me the spirit of adventure and discovery and inquiry, which is inherent in the human spirit."

Is it ok to like the saxophone again?
Thanks to the saxual harrasment of the 1980s, when practically every Lite FM staple featured a schmaltzy brass crescendo, mainstream musicians had largely soured on the saxophone… until this year.
Forget the Summer of Sam — it's the summer of sax. From Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory," featuring Bruce Springsteen's longtime sax man Clarence Clemons, to Dev's "In the Dark," which oozes a sexy sax melody for its chorus, to Alexandra Stan's Euro hit "Mr. Saxobeat," suddenly low-bellowing reed tones are in vogue.
Of course, the instrument has a long and glorious history, which runs the gamut from old school jazz greats like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman to the more contemporary Kenny G and Mindi Abair, but for the purposes of this list, we've narrowed it down to usage in rock and pop. Read on for THR's rundown of 12 awesome sax solos from the past 40 years.
Related Stories
Lady Gaga "Edge Of Glory" (2011)
The envelope-pushing pop star recruited the Big Man himself, Clarence Clemons, for the eighties-influenced track from her Born This Way album. According to producer Fernando Garibay, Clemons nailed the solo on the first take. "It was magical, " he told THR in May. "I had created this musical break where I felt like it needed a moment. Clarence came in and goes, 'Let me hear it,' so we played it down one time and sure enough, he found his pocket and just started soloing. It was amazing." Clemons died on June 18, weeks after performing with Gaga, whom Garibay describes as a "massive Springsteen fan," on the American Idol season 10 finale.
Dev "In the Dark" (2011)
The latest single from the singer better known as "the girl who delivers the hook on 'Like a G6'," Dev coos of "dance-dance-d-dance-dancing in the dark" on her latest sultry single, which features a sax melody in the chorus. Just as addictive as her hit with the Far East Movement and Dev's own "Bass Down Low," it stands to only build anticipation for her proper Universal Republic debut, The Night the Sun Came Up (due out in the fall).
Alexandra Stan "Mr. Saxobeat" (2010)
Hot Bucharest-based singer Alexandra Stan released her epic homage to mysterious sax playing men (we think) in late 2010, but it wasn't until this summer that the song exploded worldwide. So far this year, it has topped iTunes charts all over Europe and was No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Airplay chart for over a month earlier this summer. Not only does the song feature a sax riff as its raison d'etre, the track itself is called Mr. Saxobeat.
Mighty Mighty Bosstones "The Impression That I Get" (1997)
The Boston ska band's biggest hit was this horn section-fueled stomper. It also made its way into several movies, including Step Brothers, Chasing Amy and Clueless; the latter featured the Bosstones as the band playing at the school dance. Fun fact: gravelly-voiced frontman Dicky Barrett is the announcer on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
INXS "What You Need" (1985)
Australian rock act INXS employed so much sax in the 1980s, they may as well have been the instrument's publicists. The trick INXS used, was to weave it so effortlessly into their songs so that the listener nearly forgot they were even listening to a sax solo. "What You Need" was just one example of INXS' ability to produce non-annoying sax sounds in pop songs, and it worked out well for them in the mid 1980s, arguably the apex of their success in America.
Glenn Frey "You Belong to the City" (1985)
If there's one song synonymous with cheesy-yet-epic saxophone of the 1980s, it's this hit from the Eagles guitarist. While the song gained fame via the television series Miami Vice (the tune appeared on the soundtrack of Vice, which was perched atop American album charts for a staggering 11 weeks in 1985), the promo for the track is all steamy New York City nights, with a random actor playing the hauntingly iconic riff over and over again. Even Don Johnson's white suit can't ruin the video to the classic track, which lives on via recurrent airplay to this day (both video and radio).
Wham!/George Michael "Careless Whisper" (1984)
British saxophonist Steve Gregory delivered one of the most iconic melodies to come out of the decade of excess. The ballad about adultery and heartbreak hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1985 but also marked one of the last collaborations by the duo Wham!, which featured George Michael and Andrew Ridgley. The video, shot in Miami in the summer of 1984, is almost as well-known and showcases not only Michael's acting chops, but his much envied golden feathered hair.
David Bowie "Modern Love" (1983)
One of Bowie's biggest MTV hits, "Modern Love" featured the boogie-woogie stylings of three saxophonists, Stan Harrison and Steve Elson, who drive the song's bridge and penultimate end, and Bowie, who's credited with playing the instrument on the album's liner notes. It was the third single off Let's Dance, the singer's most commercial effort, but it only made it as high as No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Duran Duran "Rio" (1983)
Inspired by Duran Duran's travels to several exotic locales as the buzz on the British new wave band was still building, "Rio" was the final single off the album of the same name, which remained on the Billboard 200 chart for a staggering 129 weeks. The tenor sax solo came courtesy of musician Andy Hamilton, who had also appeared on songs by Wham! and Elton John. In the video, he's shown playing the instrument while trying to balance on a makeshift raft (it's actually Duran bassist John Taylor). The Duran boys, meanwhile, got to soak up the sun in an impressive yacht. No surprise there, frontman Simon Le Bon was an avid sailor himself.
Bruce Springsteen "Born to Run" (1975)
After four decades of playing with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, so many Clarence Clemons solos stand out — "Rosalita," "Jungleland," even "Dancing in the Dark" — but you'd be hard-pressed to find a New Jersey resident who can't hum the end to "Born to Run," where the Big Man truly shined. As Springsteen eulogized at Clemons' Florida funeral: "Every night, in every place, the magic came flying out of C's suitcase." His untimely passing means future generations won't be able to see the magic live in person, but the music lives on.
Pink Floyd "Us and Them" (1973)
Among the most epic numbers on the band's seminal and eternally psychedelic Dark Side of the Moon (and that's saying a lot), "Us and Them" clocks in at seven minutes and 51 seconds — long enough for there to be two sax solos. Actually, the instrument has a near constant presence in this opus, and synchs up incredibly well when played along to The Wizard of Oz. The scene: Dorothy's introduction to and eventual exit from Munchkinland.
Lou Reed "Walk on the Wild Side" (1972)
The monotone former frontman of Velvet Underground released this ode to hard living as a single from his second solo album Transformer. In a case of rock star kismet, the sax solo at the end was played by Ronnie Ross, who taught a young David Bowie how to play the instrument. Bowie also happened to be the producer of Reed's album. Curiously, the song's dirty lyrics and risque subject matter were rarely censored as it became — and remains — a staple of FM radio.
More awesome sax solos: David Bowie's "Young Americans" (1975), Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues" (1978), Sadé's "Smooth Operator" (1984) and, lest we forget, the eight greatest seconds of recent sax solo history, Eurovision's Epic Sax Guy.

Cash Call Reviews and Other Options When Your Stock Falls Short
The term "cash call" was coined by investors. A cash call (or a call for cash), is when a stock that an investor bought on margin (borrowed money) falls in price. The brokerage firm puts the investor's stock on hold until the investor pays back the hold. If the stock rises, investors can re-sell the higher priced shares and pay off the hold. If the stock continues to fall in price, an investor must immediately come up with the price of the stock. If an investor can't come up with the cash, he or she will lose the stock and the money he or she invested. Many investors seek cash call reviews and other resources to see how they can keep their stock without selling for a loss.

Do All Private Investment Funds Require an Independent Annual Audit?
Whether an annual audit for a given fund is required by law can depend on a number of factors, including how (and where) the fund is registered and the types of investors involved. That said, much like engaging a third-party fund administrator conducting an independent annual audit is both a good operational practice and a way to increase confidence among investors and prospective investors. A range of firms provide audit services tailored to investment funds based on fund size, location and complexity. We have many contacts in the fund industry and are happy to make appropriate introductions to auditors.
