The Riot Brothers
Back about three years ago, as a 6th grader in middle school I decided to start up a rock n roll band. Me and my best man Dyl and Alex started banging on cardboard boxes with J. Geils and ACDC blasting in a loudspeaker in the basement of suburban South Lyon, Michigan. After three or four major holidays and I was able to purchase a guitar, I bought a set of drums and my rock n roller father hailing from Britain had the rest. My Mom and Dad put up with band practices many times a week, allowing kids to learn and perform classic rock just because we damn loved it. Pretty soon we wanted to get out, but we needed a name! My dad had a band back in the 80's called "The Riot Brothers" so I figured that would be the most interesting name. We got ridicule, but you can only expect such when we proposed to play the school dance. The end of the year dance. We had to get clearance for a song, so we thought the Kink's "You Really Got Me' would be the best choice for a dance (and it's quite easy to pull off). Just like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, you could barely hear through the screamin' girls going wild. We felt real cool, and so we progressed and played more dances. The band carried on and continued into the 8th grade, when one day we got a call asking if we were willing to do a charity show. The lady setting it up said a local celebrity would be Emceeing. Pretty soon we found out that this was Mitch Ryder, yes of the Detroit Wheels. Perhaps you may know his wailing vocals from the songDevil with a Blue Dress". A bit outdated but nonetheless a rock star to a degree. The spirit of entertaining must have gotten back in old Mitch, and he wanted to play a song. Here's the SNAP JUDGEMENT. Instead of wanting to play with one of the other four bands, this rock and roll vet decided that we'd be the ones. And just like that we had a big job to accomplish, performing as a group of 13 and 14 year olds with this guy far beyond our years. After one rehearshal, ONE REHEARSHAL with Mitch and a few days later it was showtime. So to put a long story to rest, the Riot Brothers did one hot rendition of "DWABD" and got many good reviews. Sadly the Brothers have not been together for quite a while now, due to the always changing paths of high school and where it leads you. But to this day my best friend remains solid on the drums and I love just jamming on the guitar. I'll try to enclose a picture sometime too, so you can get a little visual.
Peace, much respect

When the Steve McQueen drama "12 Years a Slave" was named best feature at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, Brad Pitt — who had a role in the movie and produced it via his company, Plan B Entertainment — took the stage but did not speak, allowing his producing partner Dede Gardner to step forward and bask in the accolades.
One day later the film repeated the feat at the Academy Awards, but this time Pitt was front and center. After Will Smith called the win for the Solomon Northup slavery drama, Pitt took the mike and immediately embraced his role as "12 Years'" public face.
"Thank you for this incredible honor you bestowed on our film tonight," he addressed a cheering Dolby Theatre. "I know I speak for everyone standing behind me that it has been an absolute privilege to work on Solomon's story."
That contrast epitomizes the line walked by Plan B — between a company that at once trades on its tabloid-friendly star and yet embraces the kind of challenging material, such as "12 Years" and "The Tree of Life," associated more with art than glitz.
As the 12-year-old entity marks its first best picture win — and also switches its affiliation from Paramount to New Regency and Brett Ratner's RatPac — Plan B is hitting its stride . In doing so, it offers an ideal template for a star-driven production company while also demonstrating the tricky set of skills required to get it there. Pitt's boutique company is a case study of how a star can use his clout to get difficult projects made in the face of resistance by studios and fearful financiers.
It's hard to imagine a Hollywood outfit having a better year than Plan B has had. "12 Years" landed three Oscar wins and beat pundits' expectations with $50 million in art-house box office. "World War Z," after a chorus of pre-release naysaying, garnered more than half a billion dollars around the world and spawned a sequel. This after several years in which Pitt and the company had a taste of both commercial success ("Eat Pray Love") and academy acclaim (Terrence Malick's ambitious "Tree of Life"and the baseball comedy-drama "Moneyball," on which Pitt was a producer sans Plan B.)
(In its current guise, which includes Pitt, the no-nonsense Gardner and outgoing Jeremy Kleiner — a driving force on "12 Years" — Plan B has a far different makeup than when it started. It was initially led by Pitt, his then-wife Jennifer Aniston and Brad Grey, but those ties were severed with the recent move away from Paramount and, further back, the breakup of Pitt and Aniston.)
Nearly all Hollywood A-listers had or have had producing banners — Will Smith, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise. But unlike Smith or Cruise, who in largely have been occupying themselves with big-budget action pictures, Pitt has been an anomaly, advocating for difficult pictures.
The closest analogue may be Clooney's Smokehouse Pictures, which with partner Grant Heslov has also notched triumphs, including last year's best-picture winner "Argo." But the company's track record lately has been spottier, with "August: Osage County" and "The Monuments Men" among its recent releases.
So what's Pitt doing differently? Some of it is luck. Some of it is a matter of wise gambles. And some of it is related to a more specific factor--filmmakers In part because Pitt has yet to direct himself, Plan B has had the luxury of cherry-picking directors. And Plan B has cherrypicked some rigorous ones, the kind of people — McQueen, Malick, "Moneyball's" Bennett Miller — who have far more of an artistic track record than a commercial one, and it should be said, aren't always easy for a producer to get financiers or studios to agree to, even if that producer has one of the most famous faces in the world.
Indeed, utilizing one's celebrity isn't always easy. It's assumed stars want to bask in a movie's spotlight — certainly Pitt could be perceived that way in "12 Years," in which he lands as a rare righteous man — but often a star ends up in a movie because a studio won't greenlight unless the celebrity producer steps in front of the camera.
Plan B hasn't had a spotless record. Plenty of films have sputtered even with Pitt's involvement. There were massive rewrites and reshoots for "World War Z" after a third act was deemed unworkable, while the plug was pulled on original "Moneyball" director Steven Soderbergh days before shooting was set to start, a move Pitt had a say in.
And the produced ones haven't all been hits. Andrew Dominik's heist black comedy "Killing Them Softly" was a commercial and critical bomb in 2012 for Plan B, joining ill-fated literary adaptations from the company such as "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "A Mighty Heart."
At the Toronto Film Festival premiere of "12 Years," Pitt took the stage and offered a dramatic statement. "If I never get to participate in a film again," he said, his voice trailing off as if to imply this would be enough, "this is it for me."
PHOTOS: Red carpet arrivals | Show highlights
That won't happen. Plan B is diving right back in with the release by Fox later this year of "True Story," an adaptation of defrocked journalist Michael Finkel's book starring James Franco and Jonah Hill. It's a typically complex Plan B project based on a memoir of a not-entirely-reliable narrator, and it remains to be seen if it can preserve the book's more subtle themes while upping the thriller quotient.
Meanwhile, another Plan B project has had a rocky road. "The Lost City of Z," based on David Grann's nonfiction book about a misbegotten quest in the Amazon, has gone through years of development ups and downs, though it appears to be back on with Benedict Cumberbatch recently signing on.
Maintaining the success will be tricky. Though those auteur directors will be a little easier to get approved by a studio after a best picture win, succeess in Hollywood breeds both expansion and imitators, each of which conspire to keep one company from dominating for too long. On Sunday, Plan B will debut the fruit of a larger TV initiative, the supernatural drama "Resurrection," which premieres on ABC. It's far from a sure thing too — an entry in a crowded genre opposite the massively popular "Walking Dead" on a network whose hourlong shows haven't always panned out.
But Plan B, at least, appears to be willing to keep up the risk-taking. Describing her reaction shortly after the disappointment of "Killing Them Softly" Gardner said, "You want to be responsible, obviously, to the myriad people who invest in your product, and I don't take that lightly. But if every decision was made based on a guarantee that you'd recoup investment, and that was the first thing we thought about doing, I don't know how we'd do some of the things we do."

Paradox Interactive announces new strategy MMO title, Impire
Paradox Interactive recently announced that they'll be taking a stab at the MMO market with their new game Impire, mmogamecentral.com reports.
Paradox is the team behind games like Magicka and Mount & Blade. Needless to say, they have the whole strategy-dungeon-crawler-RPG thing down. Even though their new game is taking a little bit of a different approach to the genre, the company's proven track record bodes well for the success of the title.
Impire is set in the same universe as Majesty, one of Paradox's most popular game series. The game tasks players with building and defending their own "impire." They'll have to beat up enemy heroes and players, construct buildings, train units and manage upgrades. Pretty standard fare.
Other features include: user-designed dungeons, tons of minion types, magical item cards, a co-op campaign and various multiplayer modes.
Even though it sounds like they're sticking to some pretty classic gameplay features, it'll be interesting to see where Paradox takes the game and how they utilize the vast player base of an MMO community.

Wayland releases revised schedule for 2002-03 school year
The school calendar at Wayland Baptist University's Plainview campus will look a little different than it has in years past.
The university is doing away with the January microterm it has offered for many years, opting to move that three-week term to May, after the spring semester has ended. According to Dr. Glenn Saul, vice president for academic and graduate services, the decision was made for several reasons.
"It's a lot of dead time for students who don't take classes in January," he said, adding that many students went home but didn't have time to get a job during the break. "Since we were starting (the spring semester) later, it made it difficult for students who were getting summer jobs or going on mission trips, because we were getting out later than most schools."
Saul added that moving the mini-term - often called "May-mesters" by other colleges who offer them - to the summer made it easier to encourage special trips and experimental classes, which were often hard to negotiate in the winter months. He also noted that the athletics department favored the change because it meant having the full student body on campus during January, a heavy season for Wayland's basketball teams.
The change will not alter the remainder of the school year schedule. The fall 2002 term begins Aug. 28, with registration offered on Aug. 27 for new or returning students. That term ends Dec. 20, with the spring term picking up on Jan. 15 and ending on May 10. Registration for the spring term will be held Jan. 12. The Maymester will be held May 12-30. The traditional three summer terms will follow beginning June 2, June 23 and July 14.
Students wishing to enroll for the fall term who have not been admitted to Wayland should contact the Office of Admissions at 291-3500 in order to complete the necessary admissions procedures prior to registration on Aug. 27.

GENEVA—Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, is a slight, Chinese woman prone to power shades of lipstick. At the World Health Assembly in Geneva, where ministers of health from the U.N.'s 194 member countries gathered to discuss the world's most pressing illnesses, Chan's lip-color ranged from a light rose to fire-engine red, but her attitude never swayed.
As Hong Kong's Director of Health during the 2003 bird flu outbreak, Chan became known for both her wry humor and whip-sharp demeanor. In the middle of that epidemic, she told the press, "I eat chicken every day, don't panic everyone." Outside, reluctant local officials were killing over 1.5 million chickens at her behest. At the World Health Assembly, held from May 20 to 28th, she introduced various ministers as "my brother," and "my sister," drawing both laughter and applause from the buttoned-down attendees.
But Chan's epidemic persona made a repeat performance at this year's assembly as a recent outbreak of a new threatening virus was discussed. The coronavirus, which only recently gained the dubious honor of its very own terrifying acronym—the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)—is a member of a large family of viruses, cousin to both SARS and the common cold. The first known case was found last September in Qatar, as the summer's heat broke. A 49 year-old man arrived at a doctor's office in Doha, complaining of mysterious respiratory problems. From there, things moved quickly.
Four days later, he was admitted to an intensive care unit, and within less then a week he was medevac'd to the United Kingdom. Doctors in England sent samples off to the Health Protection Agency, and it wasn't long before the World Health Organization (WHO) officially announced the discovery of the new strain.
MERS is less contagious than its Asian cousin SARS,—which killed over 8,000 people in the early 2000s—but is far more lethal. To date, there have been 58 other lab-confirmed cases, 33 of whom have died. Most of the patients were male, older, wealthy, and had recently spent time in Saudi Arabia. MERS may be spread from person to person; although the exact means of transmission is still unknown, family members and health care workers around the sick have also contracted the disease.
Fourteen months later, we don't know much more about its epidemiology. Comparatively, the H7N9 outbreak in China this spring was identified in less then three days, and the epidemic considered controlled in a few weeks, a response that has since been lauded. A recent report by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention marveled at the "unusual … degree of uncertainty at this stage" in the coronavirus' discovery, and Chan has taken it on as her new cause célèbre. "The current situation demands collaboration and cooperation from the entire world," she said. "A threat in one region can quickly become a threat to all."
The slow-moving international response is equally complicated. Ali Mohamed Zaki, the Saudi Arabian doctor who treated what was retrospectively determined to be the first MERS case (a 60 year-old man in Saudi Arabia, who actually died in the spring of 2012, months before the disease was discovered) didn't at first know he was dealing with a new virus. Zaki sent a sample from his patient to virologists at Erasmus University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, where Albert Osterhaus and Ron Fouchier identified MERS. The Dutch scientists have since filed a patent on the virus, adding a layer of intellectual property rights to the riddled regulations of international health policy. As it stands, Erasmus used their patent to sign contracts with vaccine companies, meaning the companies have to approve every use of the virus.
At the World Health Assembly, Saudi Deputy Health Minister, Ziad Memish, explained that the sample shouldn't have been sent to Erasmus in the first place, and said the doctor who'd done so had been dismissed. If the sample was delivered to a WHO-certified lab, where patents are not allowed, intellectual property rights would not have become an issue. Memish said it's this process that's slowing the development of a diagnostic test; for their part, the Dutch scientists told Bloomberg that they've shared the virus with over 40 labs worldwide, and that submitting a patent was simply standard scientific protocol. As China knows well after being rebuked for their insular handling of H1N1, the international community does not look fondly on protectionist policies when it comes to potential pandemics.
The only laws viruses answer to are Darwinian—the infectious agents evolve useful adaptions through trial and error, often going through drastic transformations as they adapt to new hosts—and without blood tests, it's impossible to know for sure how many people have already been infected with MERS. It's quite possible it's much more widespread then it appears, with many mild cases going undiagnosed. As Keiji Fukuda, WHO's assistant director-general for health, said, "The thing that going forward makes my stomach feel upset is that we don't know what kinds of characteristics it'll gain." The urgency to move on both a vaccine and anti-retroviral treatment sharpens as the year slopes toward the hajj, peaking in October, when millions of pilgrims will stream into the area.
Chan told the Assembly she'd be looking into the matter, telling the plenary, "Please, I'm very strong on this. Making deals between scientists because they want to take out [intellectual property] and be the first to publish in scientific journals, we cannot allow that." She continued to resounding applause, "No intellectual property should stand in the way of you protecting your people."
The specter of SARS, the last major potential global threat, didn't materialize as anticipated, and it's difficult to weight comparative risk with epidemiologists whose job it is to speak in worst-case scenarios. Not since the Spanish influenza has there been a global pandemic, and it's unlikely—but entirely possible—the coronavirus may be the next. WHO recommends that any travellers returning from the Middle East who develop respiratory symptoms should be tested for MERS, and urges countries to promptly report potential cases. But WHO lacks any regulatory teeth, and as the contrast between Saudi Arabia and China this spring demonstrated, countries' transparency is ultimately self-regulated.
As Chan said, "Any new disease is full of uncertainty," and this one still has more unanswered questions than most. Last week, two new cases were confirmed in Italy, without any public progress in the discerning the disease vector. "Going forward," Chan said, "we must maintain a high level of vigilance."

dala horse mittens and a baby sweater
Before we left for Madden's I decided I had to knit these mittens while we there. I worked on them all week, usually while sitting in a beach chair, surrounded by some of my favorite people in the world.
The pattern was a free chart on Ravelry (an amazing knitting website that offers thousands of knitting patterns, very addictive). I have a thing for dala horses.
They are little red painted horses from Sweden. I think they are awfully cute. I think little Swedish children used to play with them... I really have no idea. Anyways, they are almost done, and then I will move on to my next project...
A baby sweater for a very special baby... sex unknown. Which buttons do you like? I'm thinking about finding yellow duckies. The baby's mommy has chosen yellow and grey for the nursery which I think sounds very chic.
Did I mention that I love to knit? I couldn't resist this Rowan yarn... it was half off...
Do you ever think you would like to learn to knit? I'm thinking about giving lessons! I learned from my amazing German friend Andrea. She moved away to Colorado, but I think about her almost every time I pick up my needles. Have a great day everyone. xoxo

Yelp just can't stop living the thug life.
Five years ago, I asked whether the popular review site was a shakedown racket for merchants. I quoted a number of small-business owners who said Yelp had threatened to run negative reviews more prominently if they didn't pay for advertising.
Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp's chief executive, told me at the time that the San Francisco company doesn't strong-arm merchants. He blamed talk of shakedowns on disgruntled business owners spreading "false rumors."
I guess this is another one of those.
Rick Fonger, 62, decided a few years ago to end a career in journalism and move from Canada to Alhambra, where he opened a jewelry store.
"I've always been interested in gemstones and gemology," he said. "It was just something I wanted to do."
To give his shop, called 58 Facets Jewelry, a little social-media boost, Fonger spent about $300 a month advertising on Yelp. "It worked OK, not great," he said.
After six months, he decided to shift his limited marketing budget to direct mail. He canceled his Yelp ad in February.
The very next day, Fonger said, a Yelp employee called to say she wanted to help. She pointed out that competitors' ads were now appearing above the reviews for his store.
"She said that for $75 a month, she could make those ads go away," Fonger recalled.
He responded that this sounded a lot like extortion.
"She said she could understand why I'd think that," Fonger said. "But she said they do it to everyone."
As if that makes it OK.
"It certainly sounds like extortion," said Kevin Dean, president of WSI Net Advantage, a Fremont, Calif., Internet marketing firm.
"If Yelp just sold the ad space to someone else, fine," he said. "But to then call up and offer to make the ad go away for a price, that seems like an unscrupulous business practice."
I'll pause here to say that I think Yelp is a flawed but valuable consumer tool. I take the reviews on the site with a grain of salt, but it's a great place to get a quick pulse reading of people's opinions about restaurants, stores or other businesses.
That said, Yelp is a for-profit business itself, and it makes the bulk of its money from neighborhood merchants. About 83% of the company's nearly $71 million in revenue in the most recent quarter came from local ads.
This gives Yelp a powerful incentive to turn the screws on small businesses as much as it can.
Vince Sollitto, a Yelp spokesman, said that when the company's rep told Fonger that she could make competitors' ads go away for $75 a month, what she meant was that "you could buy out the ad space on your own page."
He said Yelp is doing the same thing that phone books do: selling ads that accompany related business listings.
The difference, of course, is that the Yellow Pages never told businesses they could pay extra to get rid of someone else's ad.
By offering this service, Yelp has introduced a more cutthroat approach to marketing, with itself as the broker for whose pitch is seen first by users of the site.
When I checked out the Yelp listing for Fonger's shop, an ad for a rival jewelry store appeared near the top of the page, undermining the influence of the nine five-star reviews that had been posted by customers.
Sollitto said he was surprised that Fonger likened the company's practices to extortion. He said Yelp is "all about connecting local businesses and consumers."
I asked how offering businesses a chance to pay a monthly fee for erasing a rival's ad was different from websites that post people's mug shots from arrests and then charge a fee to take them down.
Sollitto seemed offended that I'd even make such a comparison.
"Yelp has created a platform for sharing information," he said. "It's a discovery engine for small businesses."
And maybe he believes that. The reality, however, is that Yelp has created an online venue at which a merchant's competitors can post negative reviews and run their own ads.
Yelp then makes money by charging to downplay others' negative reviews and to keep rivals' ads away.
You know the old chestnut about succeeding in business by finding a need and filling it? Yelp succeeds by making a problem and then taking people's money to solve it.
This strikes me as an unfair business practice. But, so far, Yelp has weathered various lawsuits challenging its policies. "Their claims keep getting dismissed for lack of any fact-based evidence," Sollitto wrote last year on Yelp's blog.
I'm no lawyer, but I know a racket when I see one. Anybody who calls to say that you now have a problem but that they can make that problem go away for $75 a month isn't your friend.
Dean, the marketing consultant, said that Yelp is a fact of life for small businesses and that challenging the company's policies is going to be "a fight you're not going to win."
Instead, he advised companies to focus on Google and other online resources, and not lose sleep over any shenanigans Yelp might pull.
That's probably wise. But it doesn't excuse bad business behavior.
I asked Fonger how Yelp's tactics differed from, say, Tony Soprano's or Michael Corleone's.
"Well," he answered, "no one's come by to break my legs."
Then he thought about it a moment. "At least not yet."

Daryl Wade Mayatte was convicted Thursday in Walton County Circuit Court of second-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder.
Daryl Wade Mayatte was convicted Thursday in Walton County Circuit Court of second-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder.
A jury deliberated for more than four hours before reaching its verdict, which did not give Prosecutor Angela Mason the first degree murder conviction she had sought.
Mason, however, thanked jurors for their service.
�I was very satisfied the jury took their time, looked at all the evidence and came to a just verdict,� she said.
The second-degree murder conviction carries the same maximum life sentence the first-degree murder conviction would, but it doesn�t make that sentence mandatory in cases where the death sentence isn�t a consideration.
State guidelines call for Mayatte to serve a mandatory minimum of 25 years and he could receive life.
The first-degree attempted murder charge he was also convicted on carries the same sentencing guidelines.
Judge Kelvin Wells will impose a sentence Feb. 5.
Mayatte, 35, shot and killed Alceno Pacheco and critically wounded Rafael Rojas on March 12, 2011.
He was arrested in Harrison County, Miss., two days after the fatal shooting.
Mason, an assistant state attorney in Florida�s First Judicial Circuit, introduced evidence to show that Mayatte had been desperately searching for drugs on the day of the shooting.
The evidence included text messages in which Mayatte made comments like �no more Mr. nice guy� and threatened to �jack these Mexicans,� Mason said.
�We believe he went there to rob them and when he found no drugs, no property to steal and no weapons, he jacked them,� she said.
A news release issued after the verdict revealed Mayatte had met Rojas and Pacheco at P.F. Chang�s restaurant and followed them to Rojas� house.
Mayatte began firing after a brief argument, the news release said. He shot both victims four times. Pacheco �died at the scene from his injuries which included three gunshot wounds in the back,� the news release said.
Rojas, shot in the leg, abdomen, arm and mouth, was able to get to safety and call 911.
Rojas, who testified against Mayatte, was emotional after the verdict was read, Mason said. Mayatte did not change his expression.
Mayatte�s attorney, Joe Alldredge, was not available for comment Friday.

It was announced earlier this month that Wellman would receive a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant to update a portion of their wastewater system. Wellman City Administrator Nick Pacha attended a meeting in Ames last week, where he learned that dispersal of the CDBG's are being stalled by the sequester. Pacha says he'll be notified once the funds are available.

What's more, Dunderdale warned that due to aging infrastructure and higher demand for electricity, these sorts of outages could become more common between now and 2017, when the Muskrat Falls hydroelectic dam is built.
"There's a critical period that we need to get through until we have a new source of power, new infrastructure, and more than anything else we have redundancy," she told reporters Sunday afternoon. "After 2017 hopefully we'll never find yourself in this kind of circumstance again because of the redundancy that will be built into the system."
Dunderdale tied the current outages directly to the Muskrat Falls project, saying that the failure at Holyrood proves that the aging power plant has outlived its usefulness and needs to be replaced by Muskrat Falls.
"We've talked incessantly, it seems to me, over the last number of years about the aging facility in Holyrood and the fact that that facility needed to be replaced," she said.
Despite insisting that there was no crisis, Dunderdale – flanked by electrical utility brass and ministers – begged the people of the province to do everything in their power to conserve electricity, or risk further blackouts.
"Everybody has a role to play in this," Dunderdale said. "You know, if you're not using a room in a house, turn off the heat, turn off the lights. You know, you might want to do your dishes by hand over the next few days."
Problems with the Holyrood power plant, along with two smaller gas power plants in St. John's and Stephenville, forced Nalcor to scale back electrical generation and triggered rolling blackouts. Then, when there was a fire in the Sunnyside transformer station, the situation got much, much worse.
The failure placed 190,000 customers in the dark, and left most of the province without power Saturday morning.
One customer is one home or business, so the actual number of people affected by the outages was much higher. Most of those people had at least some electricity back by Sunday afternoon.
Earl Ludlow, CEO of Newfoundland Power, pleaded with people to use the minimum amount of electricity possible in the next few days.
"Conserve, conserve, conserve. And that means, turn the heat back," he said. "Close the door and turn off the heat in a room. Defer washing dishes."
Essentially all of the problems come back to a lack of generating capacity by Nalcor subsidiary NL Hydro. Ed Martin, CEO of Nalcor, said that the crown corporation was hit by a raft of problems it couldn't predict.
He said it's never possible to guarantee 100 per cent reliability, and that taking the long view, he's still satisfied that people see very few interruptions in electrical service.
"I see ourselves operating at this point still within a range that is perfectly acceptable over time," he said. "From a system reliability point of view, we'll probably talk more about that later. Right now our focus is on people of the province – getting the power back on as quickly and efficiently as possible."
Like Dunderdale, he said that Holyrood just isn't solid anymore, and it needs to be replaced.
"Honestly, I can't promise the same reliability coming out of a Holyrood that we may have done and had 15 years or 10 years or even 5 years ago," he said.
Speaking to reporters Sunday, Martin said he won't likely know until some time Monday when Holyrood will be running anywhere close to full capacity, or when other gas turbines will be back to full function.
Both opposition parties called for an independent investigation into it all.
Liberal Leader Dwight Ball said he believes there are infrastructure upgrades that could have been done to avert this disaster.
"Was this something that we saw coming, or is this something that was created by this so-called culmination of events?" he asked.
New Democrat Leader Lorraine Michael called for a full-blown public inquiry conducted by the Public Utilities Board. She said she was astounded that Dunderdale doesn't see the current situation as a crisis.
"We have a crisis when we cannot meet peak moments during the year. And whether that peak moment is December of February, we know that peak moment is going to be there, and we should be planning for it," she said. "One of the things that I'm demanding of the premier right now is that the minute this crisis is over, that she puts this in the hands of the PUB for a public inquiry so people can really get answers for the questions."

Earlier story:
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale said that the current electricity situation in the province isn't a crisis, and that workers are doing everything they can to deal with the "challenges."
Dunderdale said the current issues are tied to aging infrastructure, and until the Muskrat Falls project is built, these challenges could continue through until 2017.
The message right now from all officials is that conservation is key, and rolling blackouts will likely continue at least until Tuesday.
"Conserve, conserve, conserve," said Newfoundland Power boss Earl Ludlow. He said every light turned off and every degree the thermostat is turned down helps.
Nalcor CEO Ed Martin said they're working as hard as they can to bring all generating capacity up to maximum and he asked for more time.
But both Martin and Dunderdale said with aging infrastructure at Holyrood and throughout the province, until Muskrat Falls is built, system reliability could be an issue.
Dunderdale said the shaky status of Holyrood is a big part of the reason they're building Muskrat Falls.
Education Minister Clyde Jackman said no decision has been made on whether schools will open Monday. He said that announcement will likely come by 3pm.

The Host Galaxies of Gamma-ray Bursts
This is a sampling of the host galaxies of long-duration gamma-ray bursts taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Gamma-ray bursts are powerful flashes of high-energy radiation that arise from some supernovae, the explosive deaths of extremely massive stars. Long-duration bursts last more than one to two seconds.
The green crosshairs pinpoint the location of the gamma-ray bursts, now long faded away. The galaxies in these images were part of a study that compared the environments of long bursts with those of supernovae. Only a small fraction of a certain type of supernovae produces gamma-ray bursts.
These six images show the wide variety of host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts. The distances of these bursts range from 2 billion to 10 billion light-years from Earth. Most of the galaxies in these images are misshapen, irregular galaxies. The only exception is the spiral galaxy in the middle image on the top row. In this image, the bright round objects above, below, and to the right of the cross hairs are foreground stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Researchers conducting the study found that long bursts occur in the brightest regions of mostly irregular galaxies where the most massive stars are forming. Typical supernovae, on the other hand, are more uniformly distributed across their host galaxies. Supernovae also come from larger, more developed galaxies than do the gamma-ray bursts.
The images were taken between 1999 and 2005 by Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, and Advanced Camera for Surveys.
The team that made the study consists of A. Fruchter (Space Telescope Science Institute, or STScI); A. Levan (STScI/University of Leicester/University of Hertfordshire); L. Strolger (STScI/Western Kentucky University); P. Vreeswijk (European Southern Observatory, Chile); S.Thorsett (University of California, Santa Cruz); D.

It is a yearly ritual for many experts and so-called experts alike to analyze each team's draft picks and hand out grades appropriately. Often times classes are judged prior to the season beginning and shortly after it has ended. Then usually once more at the three year mark to truly judge its significance. This past year was no different.
Since Ken Whisenhunt has taken over as head coach the Cardinals' drafts have grown stronger and stronger with 2011's class being no different. He has strayed away from the strategy of drafting need and selecting the best talent on the board at the time of the pick.
First, lets quickly refresh our memories on the selections that were made.
1st Rd. 5th Pick Patrick Peterson
2nd Rd. 38th Pick Ryan Williams
3rd Rd. 69th Pick Rob Housler
4th Rd. 103rd Pick Sam Acho
5th Rd. 136th Pick Anthony Sherman
6th Rd. 171th Pick Quan Sturdivant
6th Rd 184th Pick David Carter
7th Rd 249th Pick Demarco Sampson
Unless, college football is the one sport you follow you may have only recognized one maybe two of these names come draft day. Patrick Peterson probably being the most recognizable. It is hard to determine what kind of talent each one of these men hold and what they will bring to the team. That being said Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN's expert on analyzing draft talent, graded each team before and after the season.
His preseason grade for the Cardinals was a B-.
"At the time I graded the draft, before trades and free agency, I had to point out that Arizona didn't do very well when it came to targeting needs. I had quarterback, outside linebacker and offensive tackle among its top three needs, and it went cornerback, running back and tight end with its top three picks."
After a full season of playing in the NFL, and keeping in mind that due to the lockout the rookies were kept from OTA's, minicamps, and participated in a shortened preseason, how did Mr. Kiper grade them?
A solid B.
Mr. Kiper improved his grade based on the fact that Patrick Peterson became easily the most feared punt returner in the league. He earned his way to the Pro Bowl by tying the NFL record for Punt Return Touchdowns (4) and becoming the only rookie to make the AP All-Pro Team.
Imagine what the grade could have been with a healthy Ryan Williams?
Mel also liked the selection of Sam Acho in the fourth round, which addressed a big need at linebacker. Acho provided depth early in the season and later earned his way to become a starter. He finished the season with seven sacks.
Although, the standouts were few this draft provided the Cardinals with some great depth players and potential stars on both sides of the ball. With the draft just a few short months away I look forward to keeping an eye on who Mel has slated as the next Arizona Cardinal.

Go Viking: Fall 2012
View from Summit Avenue
A Message from Rob Oliver, President of Augustana College
I never make any secret about how much I love fall at Augustana.
From freshman move-in day, to the first day of classes, to the smell of autumn in the air, the energy, excitement and anticipation for the year ahead are truly palpable.
On a college campus, fall represents the chance for us to once again, as the great Ralph Waldo Emerson so wisely once said, "Hitch our wagons to stars."
For our students, fall is a chance to start fresh with new classes, new professors, new roommates and new goals. Fall brings with it the optimism, curiosity and willingness that always seem present at the start of a journey.
And really, that's how it should be. For this journey, we believe, is among life's most important endeavors. The four years our students spend here will lead them to who they will become in life.
For our faculty and staff, fall brings with it another chance to help our students explore and discover important ideas today so they may go on to create a better world tomorrow by championing justice, love, freedom, knowledge and utility.
At Augustana, we realize that the lessons we pass on to students extend far beyond those they receive in our classrooms and labs. These are the impromptu lessons that happen in the hallways of our residence halls, on the pathways that criss-cross through campus, and at dining room tables. These are the discussions that help teach our students the value of trusted counsel during times of trial; the importance of listening to the other point of view; the power of understanding; the art of compromise; and the sense of calm that comes from forgiveness.
Here, our students are part of the College community, which means we think of them like family. We care about their interests and passions, we celebrate their successes, and we work with them through challenges. This sense of community is, I believe, what sets Augustana apart from other colleges and universities nationwide.
We consider ourselves far more than just faculty and staff members – we believe we are called to serve as mentors to our students.
Since her founding in 1860, Augustana has been blessed by many extraordinary mentors – men and women committed to passing on knowledge and skills, fostering faith and encouraging exploration and discovery in generations of young people who have gone on to serve the world in various capacities.
In addition to Augustana's strong teacher-scholar mentors of past and present, we are grateful to our supportive alumni who, through their commitments to "pay it forward," have created nearly 600 endowed and annual scholarships for the students of today. These awards are presented to Augustana students each year based on primarily academic merit and financial need.
It makes me proud to say that throughout our history, Augustana has remained a strong proponent of social mobility and works hard to create opportunities for students from all economic backgrounds to achieve their dreams of higher education. Nearly 95 percent of our students received institutional aid last year – financial aid gifted by the College that does not require repayment. Nearly 70 percent of Augustana students show financial need and nearly 30 percent show high financial need (PELL-Grant eligible). Here, we are committed to doing all we can to ensure that students who want an Augustana education get it. It's why the average financial aid award (including scholarships, grants, loans and campus employment) for members of Augustana's class of 2016 was $25,327.
I'm hopeful that you'll make plans to visit campus soon to learn how Augustana can help you "hitch your wagon to a star" and begin the journey to achieving your dreams. During your time here, you'll be able to tour the campus and its facilities, meet with professors, talk with current students, and visit with admission counselors. We're looking forward to talking with you and your family soon!
Yours, for Augustana,
Rob Oliver

A comprehensive online firestop inspection training and education program has been developed by the International Firestop Council (IFC) for code officials, inspectors and all building trades professionals associated with commercial building firestopping from design through installation.
The IFC Recommended Training and Education for Third-Party Firestop Inspectors program is a free 40 to 60-hour, firestopping self-study program that educates via recommended outsourced videos, PowerPoint presentations and documents all available via 22 Internet website links from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), International Code Council (ICC), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), the IFC and other industry-leading sites.
The IFC created the program, because the industry's one-day classes and other training and education programs were either limited in depth, or not conveniently structured as online programs where applicants learn at a self-study pace on a computer, smartphone or printouts of public domain material.
The program is also important, because the 2012 International Building Code (IBC) requires special inspection of firestopping for buildings over 75-feet-high and for Risk Category III and IV facilities in compliance with ASTM E 2174 and E 2393 standards. The IFC program is the only curriculum currently available that provides third-party inspectors with the high training and competency level required to conduct such inspections. The program's syllabus is available as an interactive webpage or downloadable nine-page document at www.firestop.org/inspection.
While there is no charge for the program's self-study portion, registrants can opt for a two-hour, $250 ($500 after July 31, 2014) IFC-sponsored online, post-training certification test, which requires a minimum passing grade of 80-percent.
The exam's comprehensiveness is illustrated in recent IFC beta test results of several veteran firestop industry experts who did not achieve optimal exam grades. "Even firestop experts would find this test challenging if they don't go through the self-study curriculum," said test co-author, Pat Tesche, Firestop Inspectors Committee chair of the IFC, which is a Washington-based not-for-profit trade association of manufacturers, distributors, installers and inspectors of passive fire protection materials and systems in North America. "So spending the hours needed to study the entire online curriculum will allow any dedicated student to succeed in the exam, whether they are starting from a low or high level."
Passing students will receive a certificate from the IFC and a free listing at the www.firestop.org website. A free enhanced website listing is also available for students opting for two-hour, hands-on product training from four or more participating firestop manufacturers. "The theory and reading is very effective when combined with hands-on training, and will enable the IFC to offer firestop inspection competence and excellence to the construction industry," said John Valiulis, IFC's Code Action Committee chair.
The program's other features include:
- a Study Skills refresher posted by Athabasca University for registrants that haven't taken educational courses recently.
- a free pre-exam practice test can be taken online to evaluate full exam readiness.
- the test consists of 85 questions with multiple choice answers.
"Ultimately, well-trained, knowledgeable firestop inspectors will help reduce property loss as well as save lives during a fire," said James P. Stahl Jr., CFPS, president of IFC. "The construction industry and building officials should accept nothing less than special inspectors who have completed this program."

I have re-written and edited this at least three times to avoid the "politics ban". According to Bernanke, the Fed will not increase interest rates until 2014 at the earliest. Banks are paying virtually zero on savings accounts and their returns on loans are getting squeezed. Remember that banks have to allow for "non-performing" loans. Then we add in yet another Obama program to "help borrowers" plus the burst dam of foreclosures flooding into the legal system.
I hope I am wrong but this is a recipe for disaster. It seems designed or intended to clobber the dollar and ignite inflation. It has to be because as much as I disagree with their policy, I can't believe the Open Market Committee is actually composed of the mentally retarded. I can never remember a time when this much cheap money was sloshing around the economy for so long a time. Not even Arthur Burns ( I guess I can't call him the " Village Idiot" anymore lol ) was this loose. Not on his worst day and there were many.
Maybe I am missing something but we've had three periods of genuine extended prosperity with low inflation in my lifetime: 1963 to 1969 ; 1983 to 1991 and 1997 to 2007. (Some argue that the latter two periods were really one two-decade long run.) In those times we had a strong dollar and government spending as a share of GDP well below 20%. We had economic growth with relatively low inflation and good employment numbers. Except of course, when Bush The Dumber let the dollar decline which some argue was a root cause ( A Cause , not THE cause ) of the Financial Crisis and resulting Great Recession.

Are you asking about wednesdays at 10:10 am or this wednesday october tenth? Haha- either way, I am if you are able to play in the morning sometime. Let me know if you're interested.
Lol. I meant, this weds. And yes, morning's good for me. When and where? I'm in North Berkeley.
Hmm- Well I'm in Albany, so I believe the Hopkins courts are right in between us (and the one bus that picks up by my house drops off right there). How about sometime between 10 and 11? I'll need to check the bus schedule to give you an exact time. Does that work for you?
That's perfect. I can meet you there on short notice; I'm right by the North Berkeley BART. If you text me an arrival time I can shoot on over.
Hey Jerome. If you're interested in playing some time, let me know.

|Factory Orders - M/M change
Factory orders represent the dollar level of new orders for both durable and nondurable goods. This report gives more complete information than the advance durable goods report which is released one or two weeks earlier in the month.
Investors want to keep their fingers on the pulse of the economy because it usually dictates how various types of investments will perform. The stock market likes to see healthy economic growth because that translates to higher corporate profits. The bond market prefers more moderate growth which is less likely to cause inflationary pressures. By tracking economic data like factory orders, investors will know what the economic backdrop is for these markets and their portfolios. The orders data show how busy factories will be in coming months as manufacturers work to fill those orders. This report provides insight to the demand for not only hard goods such as refrigerators and cars, but nondurables such as cigarettes and apparel. In addition to new orders, analysts monitor unfilled orders, an indicator of the backlog in production. Shipments reveal current sales. Inventories give a handle on the strength of current and future production. All in all, this report tells investors what to expect from the manufacturing sector, a major component of the economy and therefore a major influence on their investments.

Palin starts online news channel, Twitter wisecracks ensue
Sarah Palin is cutting through the "media filters" to bring you her own Internet channel. Expectedly, the news was met with plenty of jokes on Twitter.
"Together, we'll cut through the sound bites and cut through the media's politically correct filter and things like Washington, D.C.'s crony capitalism," the former vice presidential nominee said in a video posted to Facebook on Sunday. "We'll go around all that."
One person tweeted, "To Sarah Palin 'media filter' means 'facts.'"
Another said: "'I am so excited for the Sarah Palin internet channel.' - No one with a life."
Late night shows are thankful for the news, one tweeter joked.
Tweeters also pointed out that the cost of the subscription to Palin's channel -- $9.95 per month -- is more than a monthly Netflix subscription.
Palin says the project is a "news channel that really is a lot more than news," according to the video posted to Facebook.
Expect to see behind-the-scenes footage from events and some "fun that goes on in the Palin household," she says.

Weiner: Up to 3 women since quitting
NEW YORK — Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner said Thursday that he may have engaged in online sexual relationships with up to three women since resigning from Congress in 2011.
"I don't believe I had any more than three," he said when asked at a press conference how many relationships since his resignation were sexual in nature.
Story Continued Below
He spoke with reporters after volunteering at a soup kitchen in an orthodox Jewish section of Brooklyn, a neighborhood lined with kosher bakeries where many women were wearing long skirts and some men wore black hats.
( Also on POLITICO: The Huma Abedin survival guide)
His comments came several days after Sydney Leathers, a 23-year-old Indiana resident, said that she had a sexually explicit online relationship with him more than a year after the former Democratic congressman stepped down from his seat after accidentally tweeting a lewd picture. In an interview with "Inside Edition" that aired Thursday, Leathers went public about her exchanges with Weiner, saying she felt "manipulated" by him.
That further fueled the media circus that Weiner's campaign has become.
"I'll tell ya, I'm not a perfect messenger for anything," he told reporters later Thursday evening, when asked what example such activities set for his young supporters. "I don't know who is," he continued, adding that he thought voters were more focused on his issues-based messages.
( Also on POLITICO: Critics: Abedin following Clinton plan)
Weiner also told reporters Thursday that he estimated there had been six to 10 women with whom he had virtually engaged in total, before and after his resignation. He declined to give more specifics.
"There were more than — there were a few, I don't have a specific number for you," he said, when pressed on how many women he had engaged. "There were a few. I said at the time of my resignation there have been six; I don't think in total there are any more."
He added, "Here's the problem: there are people I've had exchanges with that are completely appropriate … there were no pictures, no illicit texts or anything like that. If those people want to say they don't like the exchanges either, I don't know where to put them."
When pressed again, he said, "Six to 10, I suppose, but I can't tell you, absolutely, what someone is going to consider inappropriate or not."
But he wouldn't provide other details on the women, even when reporters pointed out that they hold the power to further derail his campaign message if they choose to come forth with their own accounts of the relationships.
( PHOTOS: 8 times Weiner lied about lewd pics)
"The only thing you haven't learned — you want names of people, right?" Weiner said. "I'm not going to do that. … Why should I drag them into this? Is that what you want, names of people? And then, remember something, these were people I never met. These were anonymous people on the Internet. The last woman herself is remaining anonymous, or wanted to."
Later Thursday, at an event in Queens sponsored by Voces Latinas, a Latina advocacy group, he was asked to address issues including women's health and female economic advancement. He pivoted when asked later whether talking about such subjects made him uncomfortable in light of recent developments.
