KC changes require broad support
<html>Had just one vote flipped, they noted, the recommendation would have been reversed. The push for local control would still be breathing. Well, maybe. Privately, even some supporters of local control said flipping one vote would not have been enough. They must convince state lawmakers to ignore police opposition and approve local control, they said, and the only way to do that is: find a compromise cops could support; or find a proposal so popular the opposition would be overwhelmed. Either way,Gators lose fifth straight game Gators lose fifth straight game Gators lose fifth straight game Gators lose fifth straight game Gators lose fifth straight game, local control depended on a task force vote closer to 20-5 or 19-6, not 13-12. There s an important lesson in that for supporters of other big-ticket plans now on the table, like fixed-rail transit or a new Kansas City International Airport. In Kansas City, as in most places, big changes need broad support,wholesale nfl jerseys, built over time, not one-vote margins. That lesson may be especially significant for supporters of a new KCI. A task force is also hammering away at that issue, looking at plans, hearing from experts, drafting recommendations. It s possible the group will come up with a way to pay for the project without a vote, but not likely. And as we learned this month with the health research tax,Cheap Jerseys USA, voters are pretty cranky right now. So they will have to be convinced. Some voters will oppose a new terminal no matter what, of course, and others will only support a new terminal. But a broad swath of the public 25 percent, perhaps might be talked into supporting a new facility. That discussion, though,wholesale nfl jerseys, will likely take years, not days. The only chance for a new terminal at KCI rests with an enthusiastic, grass-roots consensus on the need for such a project, assembled over many months, not on divided task forces and expensive six-week TV campaigns. That s particularly true because Southwest Airlines is deeply worried about their costs for a new terminal, as The Star s Kevin Collison reported this week. On Friday, Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders talked about a new push for taxpayer-supported, fixed-rail commuter transit. If that ever goes to voters, the same rule will apply: It won t happen unless public support for the idea is wide, deep and strong. Neither proposal currently meets those standards. For their supporters,[4] [5] [6] , as with supporters of local police control, there is much work to do.</html>
TTYM- Watch A Gronk Rap Music Video And Spencer Hawes Sing K
<html>
by More Columns
In This week s That Thing You Missed Spencer Hawes follows up a put-back dunk with a little ditty, a hockey ref is in the wrong place at the right time, the Harlem Globetrotters crash into Honduras and this video is somehow Gronk approved.
Now That s A Rap
It has been quite an interesting couple of weeks for Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
On a positive note,rams nike jerseys,[7] [8] [9] , we learned his family is pitching an , and he scored a cameo in the upcoming .
Unfortunately, Grownkowski also made news after for making an Asian slur during an appearance at a local Boston Bar.
And then there s this rap video.
I m pretty sure it s meant to be serious, although it could easily be confused with a Saturday Night Live skit.
I mean,philadelphia eagles hat, what the hell is it with him riding that pi ata donkey, slapping its behind and then tearing it apart. Is that supposed to be tough?
My 6-year old daughter will shred that sucker apart in .2 seconds if you give her free reign and tell her it s stuffed with candy.
The only thing that could have made this video worse was if Rob actually did the rapping himself.
Offensive Foul
A couple of professional ballers who should ve taken the no-singing lead from Gronkowski are Philadelphia 76ers Spencer Hawes and Philadelphia Wings LAX player Kevin Crowley.
Following the Sixers come from behind shocking win against the Houston Rockets the pair were caught singing Karaoke in tandem to Toby Keith s Should ve Been A Cowboy.
Apparently it was Crowley s birthday and Hawes agreed to help him serenade the crowd.
Thank God that man can play basketball.
Roughing the Ref
I ve talked endlessly about how I believe hockey players are the toughest athletes in professional sports.
I ve even touted the tenacity of hockey fans.

Watch this guy get pummeled in the face and fall to the ice as he s trying to break up a fight.
Can you imagine that happening in the NFL?
I m pretty sure someone would be arrested.
Alley Oops?
Another group that s having a pretty exciting week is the Harlem Globetrotters.
First the high-flying act took a terrifying turn during an appearance in Honduras.
Bull Bullard was doing an alley-oop and nearly got crushed by the backboard when it couldn t hold his weight. The crowd screamed as the glass smashed around him. Luckily,Customized Jerseys NFL, he was ok.
More good news for the Globetrotters Corey Thunder Law broke the world record for longest basketball shot.
Law drained a 109 feet, 9 inches basket from the stands at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix.

Carrier earned 15 battle stars 0
<html>'Our ship, the USS Cowpens (CVL-25),rams nike jerseys, which was nicknamed 'The Mighty Moo,' had more battle stars and was in more major battles than any other ship in the Pacific. She earned 15 battles stars and the coveted Navy Unit Commendation. She got hit and had to go back to Pearl Harbor at one point, but she never sank. Adm. William Halsey Jr. gave her the honor of being the ship anchored right next to the Missouri,NFL Jerseys Supply, where we were at the surrender. We had sent the first planes to Tokyo before the surrender.

I was then sent to Dartmouth College,Nokia 1520 Review- A Burden i, and from there I went to midshipmen's school at Columbia. I joined the USS Cowpens in early 1945 as a fighter director officer in the CIC, which was the Combat Information Center. From June 20 to the end of World War II, Cowpens planes pounded Wake, Tokyo,Oakland University Basketball Players Arrested for Alleged R, Kure and other cities, such as Hokkaido and Honshu. The Cowpens planes then flew missions to locate the Prisoner of War camps. She was the first CV to enter Tokyo Bay and her men were the first Americans to set foot on the Japanese mainland. Cowpens also made the 'magic carpet' runs to Pearl Harbor, Guam and Okinawa for the returning vets. Our ship was part of Adm. Halsey's group, and a huge typhoon hit our ship and it rolled about 36 degrees when a wave got it. We had fires on the hangar deck because the planes were skidding around. We had fires to put out. I wasn't on the ship at that time, fortunately. I wasn't involved in any danger at all during my time in World War II. My day-to-day routine was in the information center. Even if you didn't have any enemy planes coming in, you were always talking to your own planes. You kept track of them on the radar. You'd be looking for bogeys, enemies. A lieutenant commander would tell me what to do. The most dangerous thing that happened to me, even during combat, was that I had a chief who had a monkey aboard, and that monkey would try to bite me. That was about it. I was pretty lucky."

Auto crash, gun fears bring chaotic night to LAX
<html>Some 2,000 people were evacuated from two terminals, hundreds more were affected,chiefs jersey, dozens of flights were delayed, and a few were diverted Friday night as the string of incidents unfolded,2014 World Cup Draw- There Wo, airport officials said. Some travelers were nervous and police were on high alert at the airport after the Nov. 1 shooting attack. "With what recently just occurred here, everybody's still a little bit on edge," Guardado said. Hours earlier, an autopsy report on the death of Transportation Security Administration officer Gerardo Hernandez was released,broncos new jerseys, showing he was shot 12 times with bullets grazing his heart and piercing his bladder and intestines. The problems started Friday evening when a woman driving on the airport's arrivals loop at had a medical emergency and lost control of her SUV, hitting another woman who was walking on a sidewalk before slamming into a parking garage across the roadway from Terminal 5, Los Angeles police Sgt. Mark Guardado said. Sounds from the crash spurred reports of gunfire among the passengers inside the terminal, many of whom fled the building, airport police Chief Patrick Gannon said. "It was determined relatively quickly that there was not a shooting," Gannon said. Both women in the crash were injured, the pedestrian seriously, Guardado told KTTV-TV. Details on women's conditions were not immediately available. In neighboring Terminal 4, airport police received an anonymous call just after the crash reporting a gunman at a specific gate, Gannon said. That prompted police to order a complete evacuation of both terminals while they investigated, but again no gunman was found and the terminals were deemed safe Gannon said. Evacuated passengers were allowed to return, but had to be rescreened by security, causing a huge bottleneck of people trying to get back in. "It took us a couple of hours to clear those terminals," Gannon said. "It created quite a disturbance here at the airport The false alarms made trouble for travelers on a busy Friday night, backing up street traffic and slowing down air traffic. An estimated 4,600 passengers were affected by the incidents, LAX spokeswoman Nancy Castles said. Delta and American airlines reported a combined total of 60 delayed flights, both inbound and outbound, but no cancelations. Four arriving flights were diverted to other regional airports but were expected to refuel and continue to LAX, Castles said. In the autopsy report, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said more than 40 fragments from the bullets were found in Hernandez's body. He was in full cardiac arrest when he arrived at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Doctors tried to repair damage to his heart with an emergency surgical procedure and twice used electricity to stimulate his heart before resorting to "internal cardiac massage," the report said. Exploratory surgery in Hernandez's abdomen revealed massive injuries. He was declared dead 45 minutes after arriving at the hospital and nearly two hours after the shooting. Earlier in the week, the coroner's office released preliminary findings and said Hernandez, 39, died within two to five minutes of being shot. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter explained why the official time of death was much later than his office's finding, which was not included in the final report. Doctors were trying to "bring him back," he said. "They were doing their damndest to try to save his life. Hats off to them," Winter said. "Honestly, I would hope that they would work on anybody if they're not sure. But he was gone." Authorities have said Paul Ciancia,Cheap Jerseys,Griffin- DeSoto mall isn't afraid of new University Town Center_0, 23, had a vendetta against the federal government and was targeting TSA officers when he pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and shot Hernandez. Two other TSA employees and an airline passenger were wounded before airport police shot the attacker. Ciancia, who was released from the hospital this week, has been charged with murder. He could face the death penalty if convicted.</html>

Rob Stone, a Jack of All Trades at Fox Sports 1
<html>It was a risk,Polk County city wants vultures to BUZZ OFF!, make no doubt about it, but it was a risk worth taking. In January 2012 Rob Stone left ESPN his employer for nearly two decades and took the plunge, leaving the Worldwide Leader for the relative unknown of Fox Sports to anchor its soccer coverage on the now defunct Fox Soccer Channel.
Nearly two years later, the move appears to have paid off for Stone in spades. In that time Fox launched its own 24-hour network, Fox Sports 1, and Stone s versatility has him in the middle of the coverage, hosting soccer, college football and now college basketball programming on the network.
It was a slight gamble, but a calculated one, Stone said earlier this month by phone from the Fox studios in Hollywood. I needed to change things for my family, work-wise. Fox came in at the right time and said the right things and I knew they were growing and that soccer would be a priority no matter what they did in the grand scheme of things. To enter Fox when I did, the timing was perfect as they entered their mammoth growth, they needed people to fill in massive holes and these are holes I love to play in.
That latest hole is college basketball. Fox s college basketball slate is anchored by the reconfigured Big East and Stone will host the network s studio coverage alongside former Providence standout Austin Croshere.
The?Big East was a big part of my college hoops upbringing,Eva Longoria Has A New Hot Boyfriend! Meet Jose Antonio Baston!, so to be associated with it now is great, said Stone, a Connecticut native. It��s interesting how things come full circle.
Nearly 30 years earlier, ESPN helped build its empire around the Big East in the early 1980s. The now-legendary rough-and-tumble Big East matchups on Monday night featuring Patrick Ewing s Georgetown and Chris Mullin s St. John s squads quickly became destination television. Will the Big East have the same sort of payoff for Fox? Time will tell. The cable sports landscape in 2013 is much more crowded than it was in 1983 and there s certainly no shortage of college hoops on television. A Butler/Creighton matchup doesn t exactly hold the same cache that Syracuse/Georgetown once did.
One ace Fox does have up its sleeve is venerable broadcaster Bill Raftery, who ll team with ?calling the Big East action.
Meeting Raft was on my bucket list, Stone said. I was a fan of his since I was a little punk dribbling the ball in my driveway in Connecticut. I just wanted to hug him and yell Onions! He might go down as one of the best, if not the best hire Fox has made. He brings immediate credibility and conversation to our network.
Credibility is something Fox is aiming to build since it went on the air in mid-August. On Saturday mornings it has tried to go head-to-head with ESPN s College GameDay juggernaut. Stone, who hosts college football studio programming on Thursday and Saturday nights,broncos new jerseys, worked on GameDay in its early stages, thinks it will take some time to carve out its own niche as GameDay draws close to for Fox College Saturday, hosted by .
I know what power they��ve built, said Stone, who was part of the first GameDay broadcast from a remote location. You can��t just make a carbon copy, you��ll look bad.
The place Stone s presence in the studio has been seen the most on Fox is during it s soccer coverage. Although Fox lost its rights to the Premier League to NBC earlier this year, it still has Champions League rights and acquired the German Bundesliga starting in 2015 the same year it will broadcast the Women s World Cup from Canada. Fox also snared the rights to the 2018 and 2022 men s World Cups away from ESPN.
It might be five years on the horizon,philadelphia eagles hat, but Stone says Fox is already in World Cup mode.
We talk about it all the time, he said. I��m not kidding. I��m looking forward to Canada. That��s barely a year away in 2015. There are a ton of plans going on behind the scenes. We��re certainly gearing up for that. We��re proud and honored to take the baton from ESPN.
Losing the Premier League rights did put a slight damper on one of Stone s trademark catchphrases, screaming The American! whenever Clint Dempsey did something positive while he was playing at Fulham. As it stands, Jermaine Jones and are the only Americans in the Champions League who get significant playing time. The catchphrase was rife for parody in the Twitter grist mill.
I think the majority (of viewers) like it. It��s the ones that don��t who keep yelling at you over and over, he said. It was something that morphed. It was an organic phrase. I��m very much a patriot. I love to see Americans do well overseas. Somehow saying the American turned into yelling THE AMERICAN on Saturday mornings.
It might sound a little bit like pom-pom waving, but Stone doesn t mind. He s an?unabashed homer for U.S. Soccer, and will keep using the phrase when he can, up to and including pep rallies for the American Outlaws supporter s group ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
Stone, like many American soccer observers, is shocked to see the strides the sport has taken in the last decade.
I used to have NFL sheets. It was the best. For my son��s eighth birthday I bought him an MLS blanket with every logo and he loved it, he said. Halloween at my son��s parade around his school, it was 20-30s kids dressing up as soccer players. A Beckham. A Ronaldo. My son went as Pele.?There were more soccer players dressed up for Halloween than football players.
One sport associated with Stone that he s unable to call while at Fox is bowling. At ESPN he became known for his call of Hambone on the lanes. He says he misses bowling and the opportunity it allowed him to stretch is wings.
I like the change of pace,panthers jersey, Stone said. You don��t grow stagnant covering one league. You keep your eyes on so many factors in so many sporting landscapes.
With Fox Sports 1 still well within its infant stages, don t expect Stone or his colleagues to grow stagnant any time soon.
Where I am right now at Fox, if I could have scripted what I would be doing since making the move to FOX, this would be it, he said. Selfishly I��m laughing right now. I get to watch college football on Thursday, the best soccer, college hoops. Don��t tell my bosses how good I have it now. ?Give me some variety, give me some spices and maybe I��ll cook up something good.

Elvin Hayes was no one
<html>On Jan. 29,nfl ravens jerseys, 1968,3DS Has Now Officially Sold More Units Than The Nintendo 64, Houston defeated UCLA 71-69 before 52,693 in the Astrodome. Never had such a crowd assembled for college basketball, and the Cougars victory snapped the Bruins 47-game winning streak. Hayes was spectacular, with 39 points and 15 rebounds while helping hold UCLA All-American Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) to 15 points.
You know, I could name games where I played much better, said Hayes, who was part of Sunday s National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony at The Midland as a member of the founding class.
Indeed, Hayes averaged 36.8 points and 18.9 rebounds as a senior in 1968. He topped 50 points on a few occasions and grabbed 37 rebounds in one game.
But it s all right, Hayes said. After that UCLA game,cheap nba basketball jerseys, I was known more in the public. It helped people know who I was.
Hayes was a cornerstone for some of the great college teams in the 1960s. Recruited by coach Guy Lewis, Hayes arrived from Rayville, La., and he and Don Chaney were the first African-Americans to play at Houston. The Cougars weren t part of the Southwest Conference then, but heading east from Houston,Unemployment rate drops to 6., schools across the South were not integrated. Hayes had to relocate if he wanted to play major college basketball. Wisconsin recruited him, and Hayes considered making the long trek north. Most who went to college in his family attended Southern University, and Hayes could have played there. Historically black colleges had good basketball,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, as those who attended NAIA tournaments in Kansas City knew. Grambling brought Willis Reed to Municipal Auditorium; Texas Pan-American arrived with Luke Jackson. But Hayes and Chaney, from Baton Rouge, chose Houston.

Sarasota business incubator HuB to accept bitcoin virtual cu
<html>The business incubator in Sarasota will become the first vendor in Southwest Florida and it says the first real estate landlord in the state to officially accept a controversial new digital currency that is gaining popularity in other major markets. The HuB, and many of the 50-plus companies that call the downtown building home, now accept bitcoin as if it were cold, hard cash. They hope to set a trend for other businesses throughout the area to more widely accept the new method of payment.
We're still in the early stages, but we see the potential, so we're working to become one of the early merchants, with the hope that more will follow, said Rich Swier Jr., founder of the HuB. We're accepting it as cash.
Bitcoin is a virtual peer-to-peer form of currency that is purchased and traded online. Unlike most forms of money now used including the U.S. dollar bitcoin is not controlled by one single government,Two years after KC went to e, corporation or centralized bank. Consumers cannot hold it, or tuck it away in their wallet because it does not physically exist. But that does not mean it is not real or valuable. Right now, the price tag for 1 bitcoin on most Internet exchange websites is about $739. The currency has exploded in popularity across the world as more tech-savvy consumers make their purchases on the Internet where bitcoin is believed to be secure,cheap nba basketball jerseys, anonymous and widely accepted. It has also has been controversial. The currency was scrutinized after several national media outlets learned of an online market where consumers could use bitcoins to buy heroin, LSD and other illegal drugs. Some of the exchange sites that sell bitcoins have also reportedly been hacked and looted. Still, two recent Congressional hearings deemed the new currency to be perfectly legal. Bitcoin ATMs are even being installed in some major cities in Canada. Swier said he likes that Bitcoin has been created and sustained by the masses, while also keeping consistent with the digital and innovative nature of the HuB. The HuB's core operations will begin to accept bitcoins from tenants immediately. Many of the entrepreneurs and local start-ups operating inside the building's walls are expected to soon follow if they have not already. Even the coffee shop in the lobby will accept the digital currency for its lattes and muffins.
We believe it's a great way to expand our business to millions of people who transact with bitcoins online, Swier said. We see this as a competitive advantage. Currently, it's not being accepted by a lot of people, but there are a lot of different bubbles popping around.
Software entrepreneur Jesse Biter, who owns the HuB building and runs his car dealership supply business there,philadelphia eagles hat, also sees Bitcoin as an opportunity. Biter said it is probably too premature to roll out bitcoins in the automotive industry. But he does not rule out the idea in the future.

Jhonny Peralta- St. Louis Cardinals sign shortstop to huge c
<html>Jhonny Peralta: St. Louis Cardinals sign shortstop to huge contract November 24,NEW- Five sought in Ellenton home invasion, 2013 By The St. Louis Cardinals fell in the World Series to the Boston Red Sox and have not been shy about remaking their roster so far this offseason. That continued on Sunday to a monster contract.
The Cardinals gave the 31-year-old a four-year, $53 million deal that will see him likely taking over for Pete Kozma, whose anemic offense and spotty defense cost the team in the postseason. Peralta hit .303 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs,nfl saints jerseys, while also posting an OPS of .815 and a WAR of 3.3 in 2013.
Where this all gets hazy is the fact that Peralta was suspended for 50 games last season as a result of Major League Baseball s investigation into the Biogenesis case involving performance-enhancing drugs. He came back to the Detroit Tigers in late September and also played for the team in the postseason.
There will be plenty of negative reactions to the Peralta signing, since he essentially cheated and it resulted in a big raise over what he was previously making.
The Cardinals traded third baseman David Freese to the Los Angeles Angels for outfielder Peter Bourjos a few days ago,philadelphia eagles hat,Manatee County to hold second, and had cut $45 million off their payroll before signing Peralta.
Over his 11-year career, Peralta is a two-time All-Star with a .268 career batting average,Cheap Jerseys USA, 156 home runs and 698 RBIs.
The Tigers are set at shortstop after acquiring Jose Iglesias from the Red Sox late in the 2013 season. Clearly they saw Peralta as expendable as they didn t even extend a qualifying offer to him after the season.</html>
Fruitville Road site likely to become business park
<html>Sarasota County commissioners chose to move forward with Benderson Development Company's proposal Tuesday,Kansas State loses 90,Customized Jerseys NFL, and ruled out a plan from GoodSports Enterprises Global to build a fieldhouse,nba jerseys online, hotel and waterpark on the land at Coburn and Fruitville roads. They were not satisfied that Sarasota-based GoodSports could deliver on its proposal and remained uncomfortable with its request to lease the land for $1 a year for 50 years. "I wasn't interested in unique; I was interested in a stable economic driver," Commissioner Christine Robinson said. "The track record Benderson has had brings a lot of relief to me." Officials emphasized the property's importance to the overall Fruitville Initiative a county effort to coordinate smart growth in the area, which is designated as a "major employment center." Commissioner Nora Patterson said she envisioned the site as a catalyst that would spur other development because others would want to be near it. But, she said she worries that instead of attracting others, Benderson Development's plan could be "the big bear that no one wants to compete with." The Benderson proposal fits with the county's Fruitville Initiative, said Larry Fineberg,chiefs jersey, an executive with the Manatee County-based company. It will fill a need in north Sarasota County and bring "cutting edge" manufacturing jobs here, he said. "We really are missing out on a lot of opportunities for companies coming into the region," Fineberg said. Patterson noted the company's plan drawing resembles "army barracks," but Fineberg said the final product will not be a "big ugly building" and would fit with other uses in the area. The commissioners voted 3-2, with Patterson and Charles Hines dissenting, to negotiate with Benderson on the price and aspects such as stormwater management and flood plain compensation. The company initially offered to buy the property for $2.5 million well under the parcel's $4.1 to $4.6 million appraised value. Benderson said it would handle stormwater needs on site, but could not specify the savings for the county. "If we don't ultimately like what comes out of the negotiations, we get to say no," Robinson said. With the parcel next to the Celery Fields, environmentalists are watching the county's next steps closely. After the meeting, members of the Sarasota Audubon Society talked with Fineberg about ways to address their concerns. The group is protecting the habitat and building a nature center at the Celery Fields, and any neighboring use needs proper buffers and lighting that will not disturb owls and migrating birds, Jeanne Dubi, president of the society,The perils of revenge porn, said. While she would have preferred a university research center or environmentally friendly hotel, Dubi said the manufacturing facility is not as bad as the sports complex because it is less likely to operate on weekends.</html>
Lenika Cruz's Top Five Albums of 2013
<html>Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatchee) was going to name her second album Blue before realizing Joni Mitchell had the same idea more than forty years ago. Instead, she called it Cerulean Salt, but it bears the same kind of heartbreakingly observant lyrics Mitchell was known for, rendered sage-sounding (despite Crutchfield's youth) by her old-soul voice. Crutchfield's guitar work vacillates between gritty ("Coast to Coast" and "Misery Over Dispute") and plaintively tender ("Tangled Envisioning"), but the magic of her songwriting lies in its apparent effortlessness. Like her more lo-fi debut American Weekend,Youth Football Jerseys, Crutchfield's sophomore record dwells primarily in the realm of meditation; the songs play like cruelly insightful diary entries on relationships,Customized Jerseys NFL,CagePotato PSA- Dear MMA Medi, regret, childhood memories, growing pains, and lost innocence.

Vampire Weekend, Modern Vampires of the City
Modern Vampires of the City is a nearly flawless pop concept album. On its third record, Vampire Weekend mulls over mortality with verve and vulnerability, alluding to everyone from Henry Hudson to Yahweh, Outkast, and the Rolling Stones. Drawing from a seemingly endless reservoir of sonic and literary inspiration, the band channels its existential misgivings through gleaming chamber pop, a hint of surf-rock/punk, and world-weary, nostalgia-laden ballads. The standouts (which both feature weird, pitch-shifted vocals): "Step," a slowed-down, pop interpolation of an obscure track by Oakland hip-hop group Souls of Mischief, complete with harpsichords and a nod to both Berkeley and Alameda; and "Ya Hey," a depressing yet perversely catchy meditation on the nature of God, with echoey Latin chanting and martial drumming. To listeners who couldn't get down with the patent quirkiness of Vampire Weekend's last two albums, Modern Vampires is for you. (XL)
My Bloody Valentine, m b v
Few, if any, alternative rock albums are more perfect than My Bloody Valentine's 1991 masterpiece Loveless and that necessarily includes its long-awaited (and only) follow-up album, m b v. But m b v is a stunning bit of shoegaze in its own right. While it boasts few moments as raucous as "Only Shallow" or as heartbreakingly pure as "Sometimes," which both appeared on Loveless, it signals a more mature, at-ease My Bloody Valentine, willing to get experimental with Stereolab-esque synths and organ-filled interludes ("is this and yes"), dreamy funk ("new you"), and hypnotically repetitive noise blitzes ("nothing is"). The "classics" are there, too, among them: the closer, "wonder 2," which is gloriously jangly with its propeller-whip sound effects and indecipherable structure; and "only tomorrow," the closest thing the album has to a radio-friendly song, with Bilinda Butcher's ghostly, barely there vocals and memorably grimy guitar riffs.

Danny Brown, Old
The title of Danny Brown's 2011 debut XXX was partly an allusion to the rapper recently having turned thirty. Two years later, he's Old, as the name of his sophomore record suggests. At 32, Brown is Old Danny Brown (or ODB, a nod to his kindred spirit formerly in Wu-Tang Clan), teetering on the outskirts of the rap game orbit with some dip tucked in his lip dazed by his immense and enviable success, yet haunted by his past. Now I'm trapped in a trap and the devil ain't forgetting, Brown raps on "25 Bucks," which features electronic duo Purity Ring. There are the dope fiends the proverbial gremlins of his hometown of Detroit getting "rocked in the dome," lighting rocks off the stove. While Side A of the album is dedicated to more straightforward rap and the tending of psychic wounds, Side B offers maximalist club-banger relief, with noxious synths, frantic drum machines, and yelping hype men ("Dip," "Smokin and Drinkin," "Handstand") a welcome sign that Brown is still owning his surreal and diabolical sense of humor.

Phosphorescent,MENIFEE- Local perfumes nominated for two Hollywood awards, Muchacho
"Song for Zula" by Phosphorescent (n Matthew Houck) ranks among the year's most gorgeous tracks. At the very least, it's the crown jewel of the already spectacular record Muchacho, an intuitive and imaginative melding of alt-country and indie rock that's also bathed in a psychedelic ambience. Inspired by a gorilla in the Brooklyn Zoo, Houck turns her captivity into a heartrending story of love and betrayal: Some say love is a burning thing, he sings,atlanta falcons jerseys, his voice warping and wavering, as a cascade of haunting strings and synths swirl about. That it makes a fiery ring/Oh, but I know love as a caging thing. The rest of the album is of a similarly dark, but digestible, nature. We hear Houck the troubadour, dabbling in both brash-yet-breezy guitarscapes ("Ride On/Right On") and soulful acoustic numbers ("Down to Go"), unafraid to inject a little fiddle or a clattering clavinet, struggling to bear his anguish and remain the calm and cool titular muchacho.

Obamacare fears are short on facts
<html>Unfortunately, many who stand to benefit from the new law must wade through the distractions and fearmongering from those rooting for it to fail. Take for example in these pages, which is heavy on fear,panthers jersey, yet light on facts. Mr. Rose writes that his business s private insurance rates will rise 11.6 percent this summer and that 3.75 percent of this rise will be attributed to the new health care law. Setting aside for a moment his own admission that most of this rate increase has absolutely nothing to do with the new law, his arguments are faulty. For example: he notes that his rates are currently based on his employees health status gender, age, type of company and location What he neglects to mention is that were any of his employees to get sick or disabled, or if he were to hire new employees who happen to be women, his rates could increase exponentially. The new community rating system he professes to fear so greatly, will actually be a great asset: no longer will a lone employee s sudden illness (or the illness of a family member) lead to an astronomical rise in everybody s rates. And small businesses will be able to pool their risk and with it their bargaining power in order to get lower rates and better coverage for their employees. The truth of the matter is that before the Affordable Care Act, small businesses didn t have the bargaining power of large businesses and they paid through the teeth because of it. Between 1999 and 2009 annual family premiums for small business employees grew a whopping 123 percent from $5,700 to $12,700 a year. Even if just one employee got sick, it would often impact everyone s premiums. It s no surprise that small business premiums were 18 percent higher on average than the premiums paid by big business (not to mention the administrative and set-up costs, which also tended to run higher). The Affordable Care Act also has another, important mechanism to make it more affordable for small business to cover their employees: tax credits. In fact, many are already benefiting from a new tax credit worth up to 35 percent of their premium contribution. Next year, the maximum tax credit will be worth up to 50 percent of some employers contributions to employees premium costs. Small businesses also benefit from provisions in the new law designed to rein in excessive price increases. Insurers selling to small businesses must now justify double-digit rate increases (the proportion of double-digit rate increases proposed by insurance companies dropped from 75 percent in 2010 to 14 percent at the start of 2013). And they generally must provide rebates if they spend less than 80 percent of customers premiums on actual care (rather than things like CEO salaries or advertising). When you clear away the demagoguery and arguments being made by the law s opponents,Adventure Time- Explore the D,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, it s clear that the Affordable Care Act is great for business,cheap nba basketball jerseys, and great for consumers. It helps small businesses bottom lines,Unlocking Rosalina In Super M, and it s a lifeline for families who need affordable health care. It s time to replace fear with facts.</html>
