Gary Flaherty thought he had seven years before he would see construction begin on Claiborne Parkway. But two weeks ago, the bulldozers arrived at the Belmont Country Club development, unsettling him and several of the residents living there.
"It's ludicrous. Toll Brothers [Inc.] sold us out so quickly and pushed for the construction of apartments across from our residences and intended to put in a road without letting us, the residents, know what they're doing," said Flaherty, who has lived in Belmont Country Club for the past two years. "They never told us one thing."
The county asked for the change in the developer's proffers to speed up construction of Claiborne Parkway, a project that would coordinate with the county's plans to install a grade-separated interchange over Route 7 and eventually close down the Route 7 intersection with Ashburn Road.
"I was really disappointed people thought that Toll Brothers was trying to get off the hook for something," said Planning Commission Vice-Chairman David Whitmore (Broad Run). "We defined a balance between what Toll Brothers is offering and its value and the benefit to the county."
Whitmore and Supervisor Chuck Harris (D-Broad Run), along with representatives from Toll Brothers, explained the development changes at a community meeting Nov. 23. The meeting was attended by 300 residents living in Belmont Country Club, a 1,143-acre mixed golf course community planned for 1,933 residential homes with 500 already built and occupied. The Toll Brothers representatives were Jim Smith, vice-president of the company, and Sara Howard-O'Brien, planner for Reed Smith LLP in Ashburn, hired by Toll Brothers to handle the application process.
"The clearing is being done for eventual construction," Smith said.
THE COUNTY PLANS to build five interchanges along Route 7 at Claiborne Parkway, Belmont Ridge Road, Ashburn Village Boulevard, Loudoun County Parkway and Algonkian Parkway, which is under construction to connect to Routes 7 and 28. County officials want to work with developers to align the proffers related to the interchanges and coordinate the improvements along Route 7.
"We started to find we had piecemeal interchanges and it went all along Route 7," said Supervisor Chuck Harris (D-Broad Run).
The proffers are triggered by a certain number of units or the amount of square footage built by the developers providing the proffers. Originally, Toll Brothers' proffer for Claiborne Parkway was triggered by the 1,451st unit, which would have been built in about 2008, Harris said. "We try to have reasonable triggers that are date-based, not tied to build out," he said.
Claiborne Parkway is proposed to be built as a four-lane divided roadway about five years sooner than the proffer requirement. Once finished, the roadway, which was approved in the 1990s, will extend from Route 7 south to Loudoun County Parkway to provide Belmont Country Club residents with a connection to the Dulles Greenway.
A three to four-mile section of Gloucester Parkway will loop above and run parallel to Claiborne Parkway at the road's southern end. Toll Brothers proposes realigning the section with Claiborne Parkway into one roadway, a change that will require a comprehensive plan amendment to the Countywide Transportation Plan.
"To eliminate that section, the plan has to be amended," Whitmore said.
TOLL BROTHERS planned to build 246 apartment units at Russell Branch Parkway near the southern loop of Claiborne and Gloucester parkways, and proposed moving the units east of Belmont Country Club to avoid overloading the combined section of roadway.
"We don't want them in our backyard," Flaherty said in reference to the apartment units, adding that the units are not part of Toll Brothers' original development plans and were proposed for the Ridges of Ashburn area south of Belmont Country Club. "They threw them in."
Once the Claiborne Parkway interchange is completed, the county plans to cul-de-sac Ashburn Road south of Route 7, since Ashburn Road will be just 300 yards from Claiborne Parkway. The project is outlined in the Countywide Transportation Plan.
"That will alleviate a lot of traffic problems in Old Ashburn," Whitmore said.
Flaherty said if homeowners knew about the proposed projects, "Nobody would have bought in here, I can tell you that. ... They are turning the woods in the back of our homes into the parkway."
About 300 homeowners formed a subcommittee with 12 of the residents tasked with analyzing the projects and related security issues for the gated community, which may not be gated from Claiborne Parkway once it is built.
The subcommittee, which began organizing on Monday, also is concerned with construction noise and wants a noise wall installed, Flaherty said. "They're not making any provisions to have it, so we want to stop construction on the road," he said. "It should be put up right away."
"The citizens are concerned this was a proposal to accelerate construction of the road," Whitmore said. "Our concern is to make sure the impact is mitigated for those citizens."
A Planning Commission public hearing on the comprehensive plan amendment is expected in February, followed by a Board of Supervisors public hearing at the earliest in April. The county's zoning map also needs to be amended to transfer the units to another section of Toll Brothers' property.
"We are at the very beginning of both of these processes," Howard-O'Brien said.

Volleyball is one of the sports that is gaining worldwide popularity among millions of fans worldwide. If you have been to a volleyball match, you’ll know what I mean. It seems like a low-key sport, but you can’t get enough of it once you get the hang of it.
If you’re a volleyball fan, you definitely know great volleyball players, the likes of Sheilla De Castro, Misty May Treanor, Kerry Walsh Jennings, and many more famous competitors. And, if you are a true volleyball fanatic, answer this question. What common things do they have in their fingers?
If you answered that they are often seen with tapes on their fingers, you are correct. They do wrap the tape around their fingers, but not with regular tape. So, what kind of tape do they wear on their fingers, and why do they do it? This post will fulfill your curiosity.
Why do volleyball athletes wrap their fingers in tape? There are several answers to this million-dollar question. Let us discuss each of these reasons.
Players need extra strength in their fingers. After all, these are the parts of the body that will make or break their game performance. When fingers are taped, they are strengthened and, as a result, players can hit the ball harder than without the tape.
Imagine how many attacks, counterattacks, blocks, and spikes your fingers do in one set, and even more so in three straight sets. And if it gets lucky enough, they’ll get to reach five sets.
This is why so many volleyball professionals wear tape to better protect the edges of their fingers. Net blocking specialists typically wear this type of tape to protect themselves from injury while blocking.
Whether they like it or not, volleyball players are prone to injuries. So, if you want to join your workplace's or school's volleyball team, be prepared to suffer a finger injury.
One kind of finger injury is called jammed fingers. This happens when the fingers are forcefully bent. Blocking the volleyball from a strong hitter on the opposing team is the most common reason why players get their fingers jammed.
If you put tape on your fingers, you may be less likely to get one. Aside from looking cool, you get to save yourself from a likely injury.
Keep Your Fingers Moist
The skin on the fingers frequently cracks and becomes dry because of intense stress and pressure. It is most common during the cold season. Every time their fingers come into touch with the volleyball, the friction causes their fingertips to dry.
A cracked and dry finger might cause unnecessary discomfort and interfere with the player's ability to concentrate fully. Taping the fingers holds moisture and keeps the fingertips from drying out.
The term "dig" refers to the technique of passing an attacker's ball close to the floor. To dig a volleyball up, you stretch your arms and hands beneath the ball being attacked by the other side to deflect it before it touches the floor, keeping the ball off your court.
Digging into volleyball requires skills and stamina. Taping fingers might help the volleyball player perform this act. That is why one of the reasons for taping the fingers is to strengthen the joints, which are needed for this skill.
Keep Your Fingernails Protected
Getting the nails manicured is one way to care for them; taping them is an entirely different story. Fingernails may sound like a trivial issue for volleyball players, but they are as important as the fingers.
A broken fingernail can be inconvenient for a volleyball player. Imagine playing volleyball with a broken fingernail. I bet just imagining it makes your fingers hurt already.
Protecting them protects the fingers as well. In turn, protecting the fingers means performing well in the game.
If you think these are the only reasons volleyball players tape their fingers, you're wrong. There's one more. Bear with us because it is a bit technical.
Over time, great players developed essential skills. This skill is called topspin. As implied by the name, the ball's topspin causes it to swiftly drop down toward the earth after clearing the net. Aiming for the back with this "serve" may be highly successful. Because of its consistent velocity and spin, a topspin serve is the most popular competitive serve.
But what does taping fingers have to do with the topspin serve? Topspin "serve" requires finger friction. Some volleyball players believe that taping the fingers increases the friction in their fingers. On the contrary, expert players who constantly do topspin without taped fingers cause their fingers to crack. Hence, the use of finger tapes.
Now you know why volleyball players tape their fingers. Taping the fingers is more than about looking cool or trendy. But is there no exact science to putting tape on the fingers? The answer is "Nada!" However, the most common way is to use specialized finger tapes.
Although there is no set method for taping the fingers, one popular method is used by volleyball players. It is called "buddy taping." They tape their fingers together (specifically the pointer finger and the ring finger) for added support and strength. To effectively tape the fingers, (not too loose nor too tight), players ask each other’s help to tape their fingers.
Just like the famous volleyball legend, Jiri Popelka, said, our fingers are the most used and abused in volleyball. We exercise them because we want to make a perfect overhead hit or be able to receive an overhead hit.
In blocks, our fingers are also highly exposed since we force them to be firm as we block or slow down the ball. Therefore, to give our fingers the proper care, they deserve the best finger tapes. For the best results with finger tapes, Hampton Finger Tapes is one that specializes in kinesiology tapes.
So, the next time you see a volleyball player with finger tape, consider the sacrifices they make in order to deliver a power block or epic hit.

From a recent afternoon photo walk with my Fujifilm X100F. The days are warming but the sun angle is still low in the sky. Her shadow in perfectly parallel to the wall itself – walking directly into the sunlight.
I got serious about losing weight three years ago. In addition to watching portion sizes when eating, the keys to my success in this journey have been:
The delights of using Fujifilm cameras include the film simulations that Fujifilm includes for application to JPEG images. I’m a big fan of Classic Chrome for color images and Acros for black and white images.
UK wedding photographer Kevin Mullins has just posted a blog post and accompanying video describing how he uses these film simulations in his wedding photography. He sets up his favorite setting using the Custom Settings feature of his Fujifilm cameras.
Last Saturday I took a few hours while in Mumbai, India on business to tour a couple of the major market areas – including the (overwhelming, for me!) Crawford Market. Here are some of the pictures I took using my Fujifilm X100F while walking through the markets.
Thanks to my excellent tour leader Mobin from Mumbai Moments who “showed me the town!”
Over the last five years or so, my photography interests have migrated from landscape to street – and, in the process, I’ve had an evolution in the kind of camera gear I enjoy shooting with.
Back in my landscape photography days, I used traditional DSLRs – both Canon and Nikon. I had the great lenses for those cameras and a big backpack with which to schlep all of that gear around. But in January 2013 my interests changed. I participated in a person to person cultural exchange trip to Havana Cuba and came back having fully enjoyed waking the streets and just taking pictures of interesting people in interesting places.
Gradually after that trip my interest in landscape photography faded and my new interest in street photography blossomed. Along the way, I opted to get rid of my big, heavy DSLR cameras and bought into the then relatively new family of “mirrorless” cameras introduced by Fujifilm.
My first Fuji was the XE-2, a great rangefinder style camera. Next was a Fujifilm X100S – an even more classic looking rangefinder design with a fixed lens that’s just perfect for working on the street. It’s small, fast, and beautiful – you look like more like a tourist than a serious photographer making it easy to take even more candid street photographs of people. I subsequently sold the X100S and upgraded to the X100T which had several incremental improvements over my X100S.
A few weeks ago, I upgraded again – to the new Fujifilm X100F – perhaps the ultimate refinement of the rangefinder design by Fujifilm. For street photography, this is just a wonderful camera and the improvements in the F over the T make a great camera even greater!
Here are a few of the first photographs I’ve taken with the X100F on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area:

- ✓High-end specification
- ✓Outstanding performance
- ✓Highly configurable
- ✓Decent screen and keyboard
- ✕Uninspiring industrial design
- ✕Bulky and heavy
- ✕Moderate battery life
The last notebook we reviewed from Canadian high-performance specialist Eurocom was the 'ultraportable' , about which we concluded: "This 11.6in. notebook is an outstanding performer...it's not particularly lightweight or attractive, but the specification is top-notch...". Wind forward a year, boost the screen size under review to 15.6in. and upgrade the 22nm CPU architecture from Ivy Bridge to Haswell, and you've got a picture of the review prospect before us — and our expections of it.
Not even its best friends would describe the Racer 3.0's industrial design as elegant. Best characterised as 'workmanlike', this 15.6in. 3.1kg powerhouse's slate-grey chassis does its job, which is to securely house a top-quality set of components and keep them cool.
If the weight doesn't do it, the Racer 3.0's dimensions of 37.6cm wide by 25.6cm deep by 3.5-4.3cm thick will keep it rooted to the desktop of all but the fittest and most determined of travellers.
The screen is a full-HD (1,920 by 1,080 resolution) LED-backlit display that, unusually for a high-performance notebook likely to the bought by gamers, has a matte finish. Business power users — or anyone who works in a brightly lit environment — will appreciate this. Image quality is good, with plenty of brightness and contrast, and rich colours. Viewing angles are good, too, in both horizontal and vertical planes.
The Racer 3.0's width provides room for a separate numeric keyboard, which data-wrangling users will appreciate. The 99-key keyboard is a sold island-style unit with a good action that we found made for good typing speed. A keyboard backlight is available as an option, but this was not present on our review unit.
Above the keyboard is a grille, running its full width, that contains a pair of Onkyo stereo speakers. The underside also houses a 2W subwoofer, giving the Racer 3.0 an above-average sound system. The on/off button occupies the left end of the speaker grille, which is flanked by two banks of three status LEDs. The wrist-rest area has a multitouch touchpad with a fingerprint reader sitting between the two mouse buttons.
Not surprisingly, given the amount of available chassis real estate, there are plenty of ports and slots dotted around this system. On the left, starting at the back, you'll find a mini-FireWire (IEEE 1394) port, RJ-45 Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports (one powered), a USB 3.0/eSATA port and a multi-format (SD- and Memory Stick-compatible media) flash card reader.
The right-hand side houses, again starting at the back, a USB 2.0 port, a quartet of audio jacks (line-in, S/PDIF-out, microphone, headphone) and a Panasonic UJ260 DVD/Blu-ray rewriter.
The front of the Racer 3.0 is bare save for a pair of power-status LEDs, while the back has the video connectors — DisplayPort, Mini-DisplayPort and HDMI-out — plus the power input and a pair of fan vents. The underside has more fan vents, the aforementioned subwoofer, a hard drive bay, the optical drive (or second hard drive) bay and the battery bay — the latter occupied by an 8-cell 79.96Wh (14.8V, 5,200mAh) unit.
The headline component in the Racer 3.0 is its quad-core 4th-Generation Intel Core i7-4800MQ processor, which runs at 2.7GHz, or up to 3.7GHz in Turbo Boost mode. This is supported in our review unit by 16GB of 1,600MHz DDR3 RAM, expandable to a maximum of 32GB. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional SP1, which makes sense given that the display is not touch-enabled. Windows 8 Pro can be specified if you need it.
The Intel CPU includes integrated HD Graphics 4600, but the Racer 3.0 also has a discrete GPU in the shape of Nvidia's top-end Kelper-architecture GeForce GTX 780M. This supports Nvidia's Optimus technology, allowing the system to switch seamlessly between integrated and discrete GPUs as workloads demand, in order to minimise power consumption.
The storage subsystem is equally high-end, comprising a 1TB Hitachi SATA III hard drive spinning at 7,200rpm and a 120GB Micron M500 mSATA solid-state drive.
Wired communication is handled by a Realtek Gigabit Ethernet PCIe controller, with wireless duties overseen by the gaming-oriented Killer Wireless-N 1202 module, a dual-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz) 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi adapter that also integrates Bluetooth 4.0.
Performance & battery life
Given its specification, you'd expect the Eurocom Racer 3.0 to chew through Microsoft's standard Windows Experience Index (WEI) benchmark for breakfast, and it does. The overall WEI is determined by the lowest subscore, which in this case is a three-way tie at 7.7 (out of 7.9) between Processor (Calculations per second), Graphics (Desktop performance for Windows Aero) and Gaming Graphics (3D business and gaming graphics performance. Next comes Memory (RAM; Memory operations per second) with 7.8 while the top-scoring subsystem is the SSD/HDD combo with an unimprovable 7.9:
Basically, there isn't a weak link here. Let's have a look at a few more demanding tests.
Maxon's Cinebench 11.5 exercises the CPU and GPU subsystems, with the Racer 3.0 delivering scores of 7.59 points and 64.62 frames per second. To put that into persepective, Eurocom's Monster 1.0 — based around a Core i7-3920XM Extreme Edition and a GeForce GT 650M, and the fastest notebook we tested last year — scored 6.43pts and 49.02fps.
We used the ATTO benchmark to examine the disk subsystem's performance further. The 120GB Micron M500 SSD exceeded its manufacturer's rated read performance (up to 500MB/s) and write performance (up to 130MB/s), reporting 526.3MB/s and 201.4MB/s respectively. The 1TB 7,200rpm hard drive, meanwhile, clocked up 136.7MB/s read and 132.9MB/s write:
Given its bulk and weight, battery life may not be uppermost in the minds of many potential buyers of the Racer 3.0, which is likely to spend most of its time deskbound. Still, if you should suffer a power outage, here are a few battery life estimates. As usual, we tested the system's power consumption with the battery out, under a variety of regimes, and divided the resulting average wattage into the battery's rated 79.96Wh capacity, giving an battery life estimate in hours:
Depending on the mix of workloads you're running, and your screen brightness setting, you can expect the Racer 3.0 to last between one and 4.5 hours on battery power. The system didn't become particularly hot under load, although the fan noise is noticeable when it kicks in.
Although it's aimed as much at gamers as mobile professionals, the Racer 3.0's looks are bland enough not to attract disapproving looks in the office. Power users who need exemplary CPU, graphics and disk performance should certainly give it consideration — so long as they don't need to carry it too far. The Racer 3.0 isn't cheap at £1,471 (ex. VAT) — but then, you're getting a top-notch specification that performs as expected.

"My wife and I needed a quiet place to put our feet in the sand and enjoy a couple of days "doing nothing." This was just right for us. We found the Peninsula and Alamitos Bay to be ideal for this kind of weekend. We mostly walked to restaurants (25-30 minutes) and on the beaches. We found Olives Gourmet Grocer, a 10 minute drive up on 2nd Street, to be an ideal place to buy a picnic lunch and even dinner fixings for a romantic supper in the cottage. We will be back when a visit to the area is in order. Though not mentioned in the write-up, there is a full kitchen, with refrigerator, microwave, coffee-maker, stove, dishes, silverware, etc. So it is a fine place to bring your own favorites and call it home. There are no markets or restaurants immediately nearby, so don't be disappointed about that; it's part of what makes the location quiet and peaceful."

"How To Lose Your Best Friend"
Archangel are a brilliant new band. That's not strictly true. They're not really a band.
Archangel are a brilliant new band. That's not strictly true. They're not really a band. But you can keep the bit about "brilliant". Archangel is the brainchild of Nick Webber, a young man from west London. Archangel crafts magnificently overwrought and dramatically fashioned songs that explore the lexicon of love with an epic sweep and neon glow that will remind you of all your favourite 70s and 80s groups while sounding utterly contemporary. Archangel – whose name comes from a scene in the film Apocalypse Now! – are where ABC meet Arcade Fire.
How To Lose Your Best Friend is a powerful, arresting piece of, yes, dark, up pop music that drives its hook home and is both energetic and edgy. "It's important to be mysterious," Nick says of the story behind the title. "I like the idea of making people stop for a moment and think, 'What does that really mean?'"
The single itself is a double A side and alongside the original is a bleeped-up re-rub remixed by producer Aidan Love (Maps, Goldfrapp, Lamb, Sneaker Pimps)and People in the Sky honcho D.I.T.S.

Atypical Presentation of Histoplasmosis in a Patient With Psoriasisand Psoriatic Arthritis on Infliximab Therapy
January 2010 | Volume 9 | Issue 1 | Case Reports | 57 | Copyright © January 2010
Qurat ul Ain Kamili MD and Alan Menter MD
AbstractInfliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody to TNF-α which acts on both the soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-α. It has been used successfully for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohnâ€™s disease and ankylosing spondylitis either as monotherapy or in combination with drugs such as methotrexate. To date, over 20,440 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis have been treated with infliximab worldwide. Opportunistic infections and reactivation of underlying latent infections are an area of concern with the use of infliximab particularly when used in conjunction with other immunosuppresants. The authors report a case of histoplasmosis presenting with signs of severe hypercalcemia and renal failure in a patient on infliximab for approximately three years in combination with low dosages of methotrexate and prednisone. This report stresses the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for unusual pathogens while managing patients receiving TNF-α inhibitors, particularly when used in combination with other immunosuppressants. In addition, the authors emphasize the role of a multi-disciplinary approach and appropriate coordination among caregivers.

Second batch certified under National Music School
The national music school has certified its second batch of musicians one year after its establishment.
Twenty-three students have been awarded certificates by the school after successfully completing the royal school of music examination, an internationally recognised documentation.
Minister of culture, youth and sport Dr. Frank Anthony says the ministry’s rationale in establishing the creative institutions is to teach the various art forms.
“Culture is becoming more important, it is not just about recreation, it is not just about an appreciation for culture that people get involved in culture, you can rarely develop a serious career, and we really believe that we should have institutions that can teach people and give them guidance in this direction,” Minister Anthony said.
He said this was the motivation that led to the establishment of the Art, Dance, Drama and Music School and they have been having great impact.

On Saturday, Chris Christie opened a new front in the campaign to save his political career. The governor attacked MSNBC, a one-time booster that has morphed into the leading cable instigator of bridge-scandal coverage, for being a “partisan network” whose efforts to advance the story were “almost gleeful.” By way of elaboration, a Christie spokesman complained that “[t]here is a difference between treating this matter seriously and … irresponsibly using hearsay and conjecture without confirming the facts.” He released a 1,500-word, multi-count indictment to show how MSNBC was guilty of the latter.
Beyond simply undermining the credibility of his most dogged tormentor, part of the hope in Christie’s bunker seems to be transforming the story into one about media bias rather than the underlying offense, thereby rallying red-meat Republicans to his side. And, sure enough, Monday brought evidence that it was working. In a piece entitled “GOP activists side with Chris Christie over media,” Politico described “a surprising level of sympathy for the moderate Republican Garden Stater among some conservatives.” A few standard caveats notwithstanding, the Politico story was full of talk of wagons circling to fend off a “liberal movement” that “has it in” for the governor. “I think there is definitely an opening for him, given that grass-roots activists don’t trust the East Coast media to give Republicans a fair shake,” explained Tim Albrecht, until recently the spokesman for Christie’s Iowa counterpart, Terry Branstad. “It could work in his favor among conservative activists in early states, no question.”
To which the proper response is, “No, it couldn’t.” If Christie is hoping conservative media-hatred will buck up his 2016 presidential hopes, then he’s even deader than any of us realized.
Christie’s potential appeal to conservatives has, of course, long been dubious thanks to his numerous heresies on both policy (Obamacare, gun control, global warming, immigration) and more tribal matters (see his defenses of a Muslim judge, his embrace of Obama during the Sandy aftermath). And yet some Christie boosters (okay, this one) have argued that the recent scandals could actually help his 2016 chances by forcing him to focus on a “more explicitly conservative” agenda. This is—how to put it?—bonkers. Courting the right as a Republican moderate is almost always self-defeating. In order to appeal to justifiably suspicious conservatives, the moderate has to move much further to the right in a presidential primary than someone with real conservative bona fides. This, in turn, makes the erstwhile moderate far less attractive to general-election voters and defeats the original rationale for his candidacy.
To see this, just think all the way back to the last time a moderate won the GOP nomination. I’m not sure if Romney’s lurch to the right to reassure conservatives in 2011 and much of 2012 was his biggest general-election liability, but it was up there. (And, as Jonathan Chait explains, Romney had the benefit of essentially running unopposed for the nomination. Christie will not have that luxury.)
Then there’s the problem that, as satisfying as it may feel in the moment, media-bashing has a rather poor track record of papering over candidates’ ideological heresies. Just ask those august GOP nominees, Newt Gingrich (global warming, immigration, chronic bride-shopping) and Rudy Giuliani (gay marriage, abortion, gun control). The seams invariably show, especially since the media-bashers tend to be pols who’ve basked in a fair amount of media adulation at various points in their careers. Sooner or later, Republican voters tend to notice that the anti-media fulminating is suspiciously timed to deflect the most damning questions.
That’s not to say media-bashing can’t work—it clearly has on occasion. But the only reliable formula is when the infraction that kindled the media firestorm in the first place attests to one’s conservative credentials. Say, when Sarah Palin accuses the Democratic nominee for president of palling around with terrorists, then blames the resulting uproar on media bias. Or, to pick the more relevant example of a moderate trying to gin up conservative support, when Rudy Giuliani questions whether waterboarding is in fact torture, accuses Democrats of refusing to use the term “Islamic terrorist” out of misplaced political correctness, or trims the welfare rolls by hundreds of thousands of people. All of these prompted a media uproar, which in turn prompted Giuliani to attack the “liberal media.” (Not that he ever needed much provocation.) And though these frequent outbursts didn’t exactly secure the GOP nomination for him (see point one), they probably did boost his ratings among primary voters at various points in 2007.
The big problem for Christie, on the other hand, is that the scandals driving his brutal media coverage—most famously Bridge-gate, but also his alleged attempt to withhold Sandy relief funds from the city of Hoboken unless the mayor backed a project for a powerful developer, to say nothing of a series of older scandals, like ostentatiously abusing his expense account as a U.S. attorney, funneling fat federal contracts to key backers, etc.—all cut in the wrong direction ideologically. They sound like a Tea Partier’s nightmare of big government. As much as conservatives might have a soft spot for victims of the liberal media, once the dust clears, it’s hard to imagine them feeling very sympathetic to a candidate who’s been attacked for a litany of sins that aren’t just morally suspect in their eyes, but ideologically damning. As it happens, Giuliani’s own media-bashing officially jumped the shark when he deployed it during a scandal that was similarly off-message ideologically—a Politico report that he’d billed New York City taxpayers for tens of thousands of dollars of security expenses that he ran up while visiting his mistress.
Let’s not kid ourselves: Christie’s 2016 chances are plummeting regardless of what he does, so in some sense this discussion is academic. But if he’s going to have any prayer at all in the GOP primaries, I’d guess there’s a bigger percentage for him in continuing to engage the media, however painful this is, rather than attacking it.
As Chait has pointed out, Christie’s only path to the nomination is to persuade GOP elders he’s the most electable candidate, then hope they have the juice to deliver for him. That electability case has obviously taken a hit of late, but it’s still his best hope, as his generally centrist inaugural speech suggests he understands. Unfortunately, in order to make a plausible electability case, Christie’s going to have to prove he can still get his message out through the mainstream media. And that’s not something you accomplish by starting a blood feud with the people who made you.

New England's Largest Saxophone Ensemble
ABOUT THE SAXYDERMS
A formal picture of the Saxyderms after their second concert in December 2006.
The birth of The Saxyderms can be traced to humble beginnings in Tufts University's Cohen Auditorium.
In the spring of 2006 co-founders Tom Beraldi and Jordan Jastrab hatched an idea during a Tufts Wind Ensemble rehearsal. Why not start a modest saxophone quartet to play at campus events?
During the upcoming summer Tom went to work posting advertisements and contacting Tufts saxophonists to fill out the last two spots in the quartet. The response, however, was overwhelming. So many young musicians at Tufts and neighboring colleges, as well as recent graduates living in the Boston area, were hungry for a musical outlet.
With so many interested saxophonists, Tom and Jordan scrapped the quartet idea and reconceived their dream as a large and flexible ensemble.
The Tufts University Wind Ensemble sponsored the fledgling group and by its inaugural concert in November 2006 the Tufts University Saxophone Ensemble had grown to eight members.
As the ensemble grew in membership and professionalism it was able to sustain itself as an independent organization. It soon broke free from its affiliation with Tufts and adopted "The Saxyderms" as its official name.
Now in its fourth year of operation, The Saxyderms have played all over New England - at art fairs, nursing homes, elementary schools, colleges, fundraisers, holiday parties, and a great number of public parks.

Medial septal benzodiazepine receptors modulate hippocampal evoked responses and long-term potentiation.
Infusion of benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor ligands into the medial septum (MS) produces a bidirectional modulation of spatial memory retention. The present experiments sought to determine the effects of BDZ ligands upon synaptic responses and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus following electrical stimulation of the angular bundle. Intraseptal infusion of the BDZ agonist, chlordiazepoxide, decreased the amplitude of the evoked population spike and increased paired-pulse facilitation at a 150-ms interstimulus interval (ISI) in a dose-dependent manner. Intraseptal infusion of the BDZ antagonist, flumazenil (10 nmol), enhanced the amplitude of the dentate population spike and also increased paired-pulse facilitation at the 150-ms ISI. There was no effect of either BDZ receptor ligand upon the slope of the rising phase of the evoked population excitatory postsynaptic potential (pEPSP). Intraseptal flumazenil also significantly enhanced the magnitude of dentate LTP induced by high-frequency stimulation of the angular bundle. Intraseptal chlordiazepoxide failed to alter LTP induction. These results indicate that intraseptal infusion of an amnestic dose of the BDZ ligand, chlordiazepoxide, decreases the excitatory responsiveness of the dentate gyrus to its synaptic input from entorhinal cortex. In contrast, the promnestic BDZ ligand, flumazenil, enhances dentate granule cell responsivity, and facilitates synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus network. Taken together these data suggest that the memory impairing and memory enhancing action of these compounds may be a function of their ability to alter hippocampal physiology during a critical phase of memory. The potential role of septodentate cholinergic and GABAergic projections in the present observation is discussed.

Spanish Fork Mayor Joe Thomas said he is feeling cautiously optimistic walking into tonight's City Council meeting.
Articles from Utah
After a heated string of presentations, the Spanish Fork City Council held off making any decisions Tuesday night on the future of a wind farm project in the city until other options are considered.
Monstrous. Colossal. Shocking. These are a few words Spanish Fork residents are using to describe a set of five wind turbines that are scheduled to tower in the community -- unless they can change the City Council's mind.
SPANISH FORK - A slow-moving project to create Utah's first wind farm could grind to a halt this spring. A group of residents unimpressed with the idea of 300-foot-high turbines whirling overhead at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon will ask the City Council next week for a six-month moratorium on the project.
It wasn't a selfish case of N.I.M.B.Y. - the "Not In My Back Yard" syndrome -- that inspired Aaron Fisher and a couple of other Spanish Fork residents to rise to the podium at the February 7, 2006 City Council meeting and state their case against wind towers. The concerned property owners just wanted to take pause, investigate what it is that Wasatch Wind, LLC is building in the Spanish Fork Canyon and get community approval to continue with the testing of the 82 meter meteorological tower which Wasatch Wind has installed to verify wind speeds.

PATENTED DEC. 8; 1903.
H. P. BROWN. FLEXIBLE SHAFT. APPLICATION FILED APR. 7/1902.
N0 MODEL. I
' UNIT D STATES Fatentd December 8, 1903.:
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,451, dated December 8, 1903.
Application filed April 7, 1902. Serial No. 101,785. (No model.)
Myinvention relates to a flexible shaft, with the object in view of providing an efficient and durable shaft well adapted to all purposes for which a flexible shaft is used.
The ordinary flexible shafts used for mechanical purposes have an interior spiral core of coiled steel wire which rotates and an exterior spiral jacket which is stationary and which is used to protect the rotary core. The jacket is covered with a tube of textile material to keep out the dirt and keep in the lubrication.
My present invention provides a structure in which no lubrication is necessary and in which the shaft is arranged in such a way as to be self-supporting from its bearing ends.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the shaft as it appears when used for driving an emery-wheel for work upon railway-rails. Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section at the end of the shaft in connection with the solid driving-shaft. Fig. 3 is an end view of the same, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the end of the shaft attached to the driving-spindle working in the elongated sleeve at the end of the shaft where the device to be driven is located.
The shaft is denoted by l and preferably consists of a steel wire in the form of a spiral coil. It is secured to the solid shaft 2, from which it is rotated by means of a coupling 3, reduced at one end 4 to fit easily within the spiral coil forming the shaft 1 and at its opposite end provided with a socket 5 for the reception of the end of the shaft 2, to which it. is conveniently locked by means of a setscrew 6, passing through the wall of the coupling 3 and bearing against the shaft'2.
The shaft 1 is conveniently locked to the reduced end 4 of the coupling by forcing the wire forming one of the coils of the shaft into a groove 7 ,formed transversely in the exterior of the reduced portion 4 of the coupling. The groove 7 may extend only'a short distance along the periphery of the reduced portion 4, and the wireforming one of the coils of the shaft 1 may be forced into it either atv the end of the wireor at a distance from the end of the wire, the particular wire which is forced into the groove, as represented in Fig. 2, being denoted by 8. This effectually prevents the shaft 1 from turning on the reduced portion 4 of the coupling and is a very simple means of looking it to the coupling, requiring no abrupt bend of the wire forming the shaft, which would tend to crack or,
weaken it. A coupling-piece 9, similar to the coupling-piece 3, is utilized to secure the opposite end of the shaft 1 to the spindle 10, to which the emery wheel 11 or other suitable part to be driven is attached. The opposite end of the shaft may also be locked to the coupling-piece 9 in a manner quite similar to that already described for locking the end of the shaft to the coupling 3.
The spindle 10 is mounted in a long sleeve 12, the length of the sleeve 12 being sufficient to permit both hands of the operator, if required, to grasp the sleeve one above the other without'danger'of bringing the hand into proximity to the cutting-tool or the revolving spiral shaft where it would be liable to become injured. The bore 13 of the sleeve 12 is somewhat larger than the spindle 10, save only at its opposite end, where it is intended to fit the spindle to hold it similarly during its rotary movement. The enlarged bore 13 forms an oil-chamber into which oil may be introduced through a small opening 14 in the wall of the sleeve.
Thesleeve 12 is provided at its end toward the coupling 9 with an enlarged socket portion 15, extending over the exposed end of the coupling 9 and preferablyashort distance over the end of the spiral wire shaft to protect the hand of the operator from the shaft. This enlarged socket portion '15 is provided with an opening 16, through which a setscrew 17, seated in the wall of the coupling 9, is manipulated to lock'the spindle 10 to and release it from the coupling 9.
A very important feature of my invention is the reinforcing-coils 18 19 in proximity to the couplings 3 and 9 at the opposite ends of the shaft. These reinforcing-coils 18 19 are formed bell-shaped and consist,preferably, of steel wire coiled in a manner quite similar to that in which the wire is coiled. A distance from the exposed part of the couplings 3 and 9 the wire of the reinforcing-coils 18 and 19 rests in contact with the coils of the shaft 1; but as the reinforcing-coils extend away from the coupling-pieces they gradually increase in diameter, their flaring ends being preferably capped by rings 20 21. This structure prevents the shaft 1 from being bent abruptly at the outer extremity of the reduced portion 4 of the coupling, causing it to assume a gradual curve, as shown in Fig. 1, and materially increases the life of the shaft, while overcoming any possibility of an injurious bending of the shaft by an inexperienced workman.
What I claim is 1. A flexible shaft consisting of wire coiled in spiral form and bell-shaped coils located at the opposite ends of the shaft for reinforcing the shaft.
2. The combination with a coupling having a reduced portion for entering the end of a flexible shaft, of a flexible shaft locked to the reduced portion of the coupling and a bell-shaped reinforcing-coil fitted to the end of the shaft in proximity to the coupling.
3. A flexible shaft consisting of a wirecoiled in spiral form, spiral Wire cones fastened to the ends of the shaft to prevent abrupt bends and metal capping-rings to cap the open ends of the cones and prevent the ends of wire from injuring the operator.
4. The combination with aflexible shaft, of a sleeve sufficiently long to receive the hands of an operator one above the other, a spindle mounted in the sleeve, a coupling locked to the flexible shaft and provided with means for locking the spindle thereto and releasing it therefrom, the said spindle-containing sleeve being provided at its end toward the flexible shaft with an enlarged socket for receiving the said coupling and the wall of said socket being provided with an opening for gaining access to the means for locking the spindle to the coupling, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two Witnesses, this th day of March,

Re: Need some advice......
I have to go against the grain here a little bit. Of course being treated well and being with a man who loves you, is honest and forthright and decent and treats you well is important. But me personally, if you don't feel that spark, if there's no sexual chemistry or attraction, then you may as well just be best friends or roommates. That spark, that sexual chemistry, that melding of emotional intimacy that goes deeper than someone you're just friends with, someone you totally understand and who understands you, someone you never get tired of trying to understand better, is what makes the difference between a friend and a lover. If you want a lover as well as a good friend, then yes, I think you are settling, and it's not only unfair to you, it's unfair to him. If he's such a great guy, don't you think he deserves to be with a woman who can really love him passionately? Who finds him sexy and who will love making love with him? Someone who can be more than just a roommate or a best buddy to him?
I think there is so much more to loving and being loved by someone than just being willing to do anything for them or having them want to do anything for you. that's not being a good mate, that's just being a sycophant. There also needs to be shared values, similar world views, an understanding and respect for each other's emotional and mental make up, and yes, sexual/physical chemistry.
I'm 43, and I'm not telling you that you should be like me, but I can say that I don't intend on settling. I just can't. I NEED the whole package. Someone who eases my mind, stimulates my brain, warms my heart AND curls my toes. I will probably never find him, but that doesn't mean I'm prepared to force myself to settle for less than what I really want and need just because I'm getting older and "running out of time and can't afford to be too picky." You're talking about the person you will be sharing a bed with, someone who you will be sharing your finances and home with, someone who will be your closest family, who will take care of you when you're sick and who will look to you to take care of him if he should fall ill, AND someone who will look to you to satisfy the physical, sexual needs we all have. In my opinion, no where in your life should you be more picky than when you are choosing this person. I mean, how do you think he'd feel if he knew he was someone you're just trying to "make the best of" because you're getting older and it's slim pickin's out there? How would you feel if you loved someone and learned that's why they were with you?

Nobody puts Mon Laferte in a corner.
Talk about an artist who dives into every genre! Being a fan of Mon Laferte, feels like you’re discovering a new artist every single time she releases something new. Her latest collaboration is not something I would have seen coming, but it’s something I quickly fell in love with as soon as I listened to it.
Two iconic voices come together for “Que Se Sepa Nuestro Amor”, the latest from Mon Laferte featuring Alejandro Fernandez. With a all-female mariachi band accompanying their vocals, this love song will quickly become one of your favorites. Coming off of his latest album, Hecho En Mexico, this latest single makes sense for Alejandro Fernandez. His best music has always occurred when he’s accompanied by a mariachi band.
Nada me importa la gente
Lo nuestro tiene que saberse
En honor a esta pasión
Hay que decirlo de frente
Que a este mundo le es urgente
Que se sepa nuestro amor
Mon Laferte is a Chilean artist, who moved to Mexico when she decided to pursue her music career more seriously. Mexico has welcomed her with open arms and now she’s saying “thank you” with her next album. “Que Se Sepa Nuestro Amor” is just a glimpse of what’s to come and I could not be more excited. Her previous albums have included a punk rock sound, cumbia music, bolero songs and heart-aching pop ballads. Mon’s next body of work is sure to surprise us once again.
The single release was accompanied with an amazing music video, which deserves to be watched by everyone. The music video was shot in black and white, while serving as an homage to the golden age of Mexican cinema.
It is so refreshing to discover a talent like Mon Laferte, who doesn’t allow the boxes within the music industry to define what her albums will sound like. I never would have imagined that these two particular favorite artists of mine would have collaborated; but I am ecstatic that the finished product exceeded any of my expectations.
You can listen to “Que Se Sepa Nuestro Amor” on any music streaming platform.
