Body of beloved Vermont teacher is found

Vermont police believe they have found the body of a beloved 33-year-old science teacher who went missing on Sunday. NECN's Jack Thurston reports.

By msnbc.com news services

Vermont police?believe they have found the body of a 33-year-old school teacher who had been reported missing.

Melissa Jenkins, a single mom,?hadn't been seen since Sunday night. Monday afternoon, Vermont state police were searching along a remote road when they noticed a wooded section that appeared to have been disturbed.

After a brief search, detectives found a body in the woods.

?The body recovered this afternoon is believed to be that of Ms. Jenkins. However, a positive identification of the body will not be made until an autopsy is performed,? said an official.

Jenkins, the mother of a two-year-old boy, taught science and used to coach basketball at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont. The boy's father, B.J. Robertson, would not comment on Jenkins' disappearance.

"She's got a real gift with students who either haven't liked science before or learning science doesn't come easy to them," headmaster Tom Lovett said. "She's got a real gift with them.

One of Jenkins' friends found her SUV Sunday night not far from her home. Investigators say the engine was still running, and her 2-year-old son was in the back seat. Jenkins was nowhere to be found.

Vermont state police say there were signs of a struggle but they wouldn't go into further detail.

After an extensive missing persons search that lasted less than 24 hours, police have now focused all of their attention on searching for Jenkins? killer.

?Although I cannot disclose the details of how the body was found, or the condition of the body, this death is considered suspicious,? said an official.

A family friend said Jenkins left her home that night to meet up and help someone out.

"She would do anything for anybody. She definitely will be greatly missed," Ron Craig, of Peacham, told the Associated Press.

Craig, who said he and his wife occasionally babysat Jenkins' son, said it's scary that police did not know if this was an isolated incident. "We've been locking our doors all the time because you just don't know what's going to happen," he said.

Police believed the crime occurred sometime between 7 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Sunday night.

NBC station WHDH and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Protons on the move find novel molecular route

Experiment reveals new pathway for hydrogen traveling between molecules

Web edition : Monday, March 26th, 2012

Some take the road less traveled. Hydrogen atoms can take roads not previously known to exist.

The lone proton ? the nucleus of a common hydrogen atom ? typically uses a single road ? the hydrogen bond ? to get from one molecule to another. But now researchers report such a proton traveling to another molecule by different means.

The implications of the new route, described online March 18 in Nature Chemistry, aren?t clear. But scientists are certain that they?ve never seen it before.

?This paper is interesting and important because hydrogen bonding is so ubiquitous and involved in so many things,? says electrophysiologist Tom DeCoursey of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Proton transfer is crucial for many processes in biology, such as photosynthesis, DeCoursey notes. ?But I don?t see a direct tie-in with biological systems,? he says of the new research. ?Where this might actually take place is another thing.?

Hydrogen atoms often exist without electrons, in which case, chemists refer to them as hydrogen ions, or just as protons. These protons get passed around a lot during chemical reactions, and scientists thought there was basically one way to do this: via a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds, in which a positively charged proton feels the tug of a negatively charged atom, are everywhere in nature, holding together molecules such as water and DNA. These bonds allow one molecule to gain a proton and another to lose one during chemical reactions.

?For the proton, the hydrogen bond is like riding on a track that?s going between two molecules,? says chemist Anna Krylov of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. She and her colleagues have prompted protons to transfer between stacked, ring-shaped molecules that had no hydrogen bonds between them. Calculations suggest that the ringed molecules rearrange themselves, creating an alternate short path that the proton can travel. ?The molecules help it find its way,? says Krylov.

Aide says Cheney had heart transplant

FILE - In this Aug. 31, 2011 file photo, former Vice President Dick Cheney is interviewed in New York. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is recovering after having a heart transplant. That's according to his office. It released a statement Saturday, March 24, 2012 disclosing the surgery, and saying that Cheney has been on the transplant list for more than 20 months. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Former Vice President Dick Cheney had a heart transplant Saturday, after five heart attacks over the past 25 years and countless medical procedures to keep him going. Cheney, 71, waited nearly two years for his new heart, the gift of an unknown donor.

An aide to Cheney disclosed the surgery after it was over, and said the ex-vice president was recovering at a Virginia hospital.

"Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," aide Kara Ahern said in a written statement that was authenticated by several of the Republican politician's close associates.

Cheney was recovering Saturday night at the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., after surgery earlier in the day.

More than 3,100 Americans currently are on the national waiting list for a heart transplant. Just over 2,300 heart transplants were performed last year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. And 330 people died while waiting.

According to UNOS, 332 people over age 65 received a heart transplant last year. The majority of transplants occur in 50- to 64-year-olds.

The odds of survival are good. More than 70 percent of heart transplant recipients live at least five years, although survival is a bit lower for people over age 65.

The former vice president suffered a heart attack in 2010, his fifth since the age of 37.

That same year, he had surgery to have a small pump installed to help his heart keep working.

Called a "left ventricular assist device," or LVAD, that device took over the job of the heart's main pumping chamber, powered by special batteries worn in a fanny pack. It helps a person live a fairly normal life while awaiting a heart transplant, although some people receive it as permanent therapy. It was one of the few steps left, short of a transplant, to stay alive in the face of what he acknowledged was "increasing congestive heart failure."

In January 2011, Cheney said he was getting by on the battery-powered heart pump, which made it "awkward to walk around." He also said he hadn't made a decision yet on a transplant, but that "the technology is getting better and better."

Cheney said then that he'd "have to make a decision at some point whether I want to go for a transplant."

By that point, Cheney had been dealing with cardiovascular problems for more than two decades.

In 1988, he had quadruple bypass surgery, two artery-clearing angioplasties and the operation to implant a pacemaker, a device that monitored his heartbeat.

In 2005, Cheney had six hours of surgery on his legs to repair a kind of aneurysm, and in March 2007, doctors discovered deep venous thrombosis in his left lower leg. An ultrasound a month later showed the clot was getting smaller.

In July 2007, he had had a minor surgical procedure to replace the pacemaker.

Cheney served as former President George W. Bush's vice president for eight years, from 2001 until 2009. Cheney was a lightning rod for criticism during Bush's presidency, accused by opponents of often advocating a belligerent U.S. stance in world affairs during wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, wished Cheney a "fast and full recovery" in a post on Twitter. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Romney's chief challenger, sent a written statement wishing Cheney and his family well and offering his thoughts and prayers.

Like 5 million other Americans, Cheney has had congestive heart failure, meaning his heart had become too weakened to pump properly. That can happen for a variety of reasons, but Cheney's was due to cumulative damage from his multiple heart attacks.

Heart failure kills 57,000 Americans a year and contributes to many more deaths.

Shortly after Cheney's surgery was disclosed, one prominent cardiologist ? Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps Health in La Jolla, Calif. ? raised the issue of whether someone so old should have received a new heart.

"The ethicists will get into this case," he wrote on Twitter.

Others disagreed.

"It is not too old. Age is really not a factor," said Dr. William Zoghbi of Methodist Hospital's DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Houston. He is incoming president of the American College of Cardiology, and he spoke from the group's annual conference in Chicago on Saturday.

Zoghbi said Cheney may even fare better than younger people whose immune systems more actively fight new organs, raising concern about rejection.

"I don't see any ethical issues here," Zoghbi said, because a transplant is clearly indicated for someone whose heart is as weak as Cheney's was.

A heart transplant is a race against time. Doctors look to the waiting list for the next qualified candidate who is a good match to the newly donated heart, which typically comes from an accident victim. The patient must get to the operating room quickly, as a newly donated heart stays fresh for only about four to six hours.

During a heart transplant, a mechanical pump keeps blood flowing through the body while surgeons remove the diseased heart ? and in Cheney's case, the previously implanted LVAD ? and connect the new one.

Patients must take immune-suppressing medication for life, to keep their body's immune system from attacking the new, foreign organ. They typically stay in the hospital for a week or two, and require intensive cardiac rehabilitation.

IRA Financial Group Introduces Roth Solo 401(k) Plan The Ultimate ...

Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 27, 2012

IRA Financial Group introduces the Roth 401K Plan the ultimate retirement solution for the self-employed. With a Roth 401(k) Plan, a self-employed individual can contribute up to $ 22,500 annually to the Roth 401K Plan and enjoy tax-free returns. With IRAs, those who earn high incomes are disallowed from contributing to a Roth IRA or, in most years, converting their IRA to a Roth IRA. The Solo 401(k) plan contains a built in Roth sub-account which can be contributed to without any income restrictions. Furthermore, one can only contribute up to $ 5,000 ($ 6,000 if the individual is over the age of 50) to a Roth IRA, however, with a Roth Solo 401K Plan, a self-employed individual can contribute up to $ 17,000 annually ($ 22,500 if the individual is over the age of 50). With a Roth 401(k) Plan, a forty-year old individual who makes annual maximum Roth contributions and receives just a 5% annual return can have over $ 1 million dollars tax-free by the age of 591/2, Stated Adam Bergman, a tax attorney with the IRA Financial Group. In fact, with income tax rates sure to increase in the future, having tax-free access to your retirement funds in a huge advantage, stated Mr. Bergman.

Qualified distributions from a Roth 401K are not includible in income or subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. A qualified distribution is a distribution to an owner after the owner has reached age 59 1/2 (or who is disabled, a first-time home buyer, or in the case of a beneficiary of the estate, death) and the Roth 401K has been funded for a 5-year period, beginning on the first day of the tax year in which a conversion from a regular IRA or pre-tax 401(k) is made or for which a Roth 401K contribution is made, and ending with the last day of the 5th year from the beginning year.

Because federal income tax rates are at an historical low, it is generally assumed that tax rates will increase over the next ten to twenty years. Therefore, while a Roth 401K will eliminate ones ability to receive a tax deduction in the year of the contribution, over the long run the individual probably achieve a greater tax savings because the withdrawals from the Roth IRA will be tax-free.

For real estate investors the Roth 401K Plan offers a highly attractive tax savings vehicle. With a Roth 401K real estate investors can keep more of thier profits by using the tax-sheltered funds in the account, rather than personal funds. There are no capital gains taxes on profits made from selling a piece of property. Rental income is non-taxable. As long as all of the fees related to the transaction are taken from the account and all profits are returned to it, there are no taxes, ever.

The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, and Thelen LLP.

IRA Financial Group is the market?s leading provider of Roth 401(k) Plans. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate without custodian consent.

Facts about Asbestos Claims | Mesothelioma Attorney Assistance

Asbestos is technically a very useful material in our everyday life. Asbestos is known for being heat resistant. It is used in many industries across the world. Therefore it is really a material that can be utilized. However, the fact is it can also be a harmful threat to a person?s health when exposed to it for a long time. Prolonged asbestos exposure can result to several illnesses like asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. When faced with these risks you can know some facts about asbestos claims.

Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure has been synonymous to growth of respiratory diseases and cancers. For nearly a century, asbestos was commonly used in construction, ship building and manufacturing.

It was during the early 1900s when the connection between asbestos exposure and serious respiratory diseases were discovered. By then there are already millions of workers were affected with some asbestos induced diseases. It was only in 1972 that federal law limits the exposure to asbestos.

Ways you can be exposed to Asbestos

There are several ways in which people can be exposed to asbestos. The first is their work place. Workers from practically all trades may be exposed to asbestos. From electricians, dry wall tapers, firefighters, auto mechanics and ship builders are in danger of being exposed.

There are also products that have asbestos content like insulation, floor tiles, cements and paints. Chances are even people who do not work in places where asbestos is present; they may also be exposed because of the products that they use.

Even the military is not exempted in asbestos exposure. Nearly all the branches of the armed forces used asbestos in one form or another until 1970s. Veterans are the most affected in this situation. Many of them have suffered asbestos related diseases since then.

Endangerment of Health Due to Asbestos Exposure

There is health risks involved when you are exposed to asbestos. The asbestos fiber can damage your lungs and other body organs. The sad fact is it will take 10-20 years before the diseases are discovered. The common disease associated with asbestos is asbestosis. This involves the scarring of the lung tissues. This disease can turn into a rare cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, heart and stomach. Some of the symptoms asbestos diseases are difficulty in breathing, chest pains and weight loss.

If you experienced some of the mentioned symptoms, try to consult a physician. There might also be tests that you need to undergo to know exactly what disease you might have acquired from asbestos exposure.

Asbestos Claims

Once you are diagnosed with asbestos causing diseases you may be able to file a claim for civil compensation provided that you can prove that you got your disease through occupational exposure. Asbestos lawyers can help you understand the law regarding the asbestos claim. Choose an asbestos lawyer that is highly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the asbestos claim.

Compensations for Asbestos Claims

In the court system you can claim compensation if you have been injured as the result of the fault or negligence of someone. The compensation is given in lump sum. Generally the compensations are for medical expenses during the treatment of the condition. This includes past and present medical expenses. The compensation may also include loss of income during the trial or settlement for the rest of your working life. It may also involve emotional well-being like payment for pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life.

Other Things to Know about Asbestos Claims

The majority of asbestos claim ends in settlement. Most of the time the defendant will come up with a reasonable settlement package so that both parties will not anymore go into trial. The asbestos lawyer has a policy that if the case is not won, then the plaintiff does not need to pay attorney?s fee. They will only pay if they have a settlement and it will be based on the amount of time and work required to resolve the asbestos claim.

Asbestos claim can take only months to be resolved. If the plaintiff is in the serious stages then the asbestos lawyer would do everything to speed up the process. If need be, an asbestos claim can be resolved within weeks or days. If the situation is a non malignant one, then the claims could take longer.

There are two kinds of asbestos claims: Asbestos personal injury claim and asbestos wrongful death claim. Asbestos personal injury is filed by a person diagnosed with an asbestos related disease while the asbestos wrongful death claim is filed on behalf of the surviving family members when an asbestos patient died.

Suffering from asbestos related diseases is not an easy thing to endure that is why it is a relief to know that there are ways for a person to fight back get compensations from asbestos claims.

Budget offers tax relief for UK videogames industry (Wired UK)

To illustrate its commitment to make the UK the "technology hub of Europe", the government has announced a series of initiatives including corporate tax reliefs for the videogames, animation and high-end TV industries.

The plans to introduce corporation tax reliefs from April 2013 for these high-tech industries were revealed in this year's Budget. The tax breaks have been welcomed by videogames trade body Tiga, which has lobbied for them for six years.

Chancellor George Osborne said in his statement: "The film tax credit, protected in our spending review, helped generate over ?1 billion of film production investment in the UK last year alone." He added that the new tax break would help stop premium British TV programmes such as Birdsong being made abroad, attract top international investors and support "our brilliant video games and animation industries" too.

Sue Crawford, partner and head of the Tax group at Wiggin LLP, said: "The Chancellor's announcement for tax relief for the UK video games industry is most welcome. The UK has slipped from 3rd to 6th place in this sector in the last five years as other countries, [such as] Canada, France and Korea, have surged forward, propped up as they are by tax credits. This relief will prevent the brain drain and downturn in staff recruitment for the UK's games industry and help bolster recruitment for the bright young design and technology students that are leaving our universities jobless."

The exact details of the tax breaks will most likely be revealed in the Finance Bill which is published on Thursday 29 March.

The government also announced that it has selected Belfast, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Manchester and Newcastle as its super-connected cities as part of a ?100 million investment announced during the Autumn Statement. An additional ?50 million has been set aside to fund a second wave of ten smaller "super-connected"cities.

Some ?60 million will be used to establish a UK centre of aerodynamics which will support innovation in aerospace technology and a new ?100 million fund will be used to support investment in university research facilities, opening for bids this year. It will attract additional co-investment from the private sector.

The government will also set up two Catapult Centres -- one for transport and one for future cities -- by 2013. These aim to bring together universities with IT companies and SMEs to commercialise technologies more quickly. There are also plans to reform the Enterprise Management Incentive scheme, which helps SMEs recruit and retain talent, by providing additional support to help startups access the scheme by doubling the individual grant limit to ?250,000.

All government information will be published on a single gov.uk domain by the end of 2012 and will move to a "digital by default" approach to its transactional services by 2015. This is something that was promised at the launch of the Government Digital Service in December 2011.

Outside of the tech sector, corporation tax will be cut from next month by one percentage point to 24 percent, falling to 22 percent in 2014, something that should help drive investment to the UK.

Chancellor George Osborne announced cuts to the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p on the pound and an increase in the basic personal tax allowance from ?7,475 to ?9,205. Meanwhile child benefits will be cut from families where households are earning more than ?50,000. Perhaps the least popular announcement has been the decision to scrap income tax breaks for the over-65s. Thanks to inflation, more than four million people will be ?83 worse off by 2014, while 360,000 pensioners will lose ?285 per year.

We suppose Microsoft didn't have to make Windows 8 play nice with the new rash of extremely pixel-dense displays. But, that would be tantamount to OS suicide. So, we're not particularly surprised to hear that the latest and greatest Windows will support resolutions up to 2560 x 1440 on screens as small as 10.1 inches. That's a pretty impressive 291 pixels per inch. Of course, it's not quite as simple as it sounds. While in an ideal world, every UI element would be resolution independent, that's simply not the case and the infrastructure isn't there to support it. Instead graphical elements, including text, must be scaled to fill the available pixels. Microsoft's scheme will use 100 percent for standard density displays, 140 for HD and 180 for quad-XGA panels. Thankfully, the company was smart enough to include support for SVG files as UI elements, meaning that density and resolution independent future is at least one step closer. For loads more details hit up the source link.

Rap & Hip-Hop Music Reviews, News & Interviews - RapReviews.com

If you missed any of the new reviews last week, including Immortal Technique's The Martyr, then do yourself a favor and check out this week's edition of the (W)rap Up!
"Immortal Technique is giving away "The Martyr" for free, so I have a suggestion as to what you can do with the dinero you saved downloading. The album samples dialogue directly from the movie "Network," and if you haven't seen it yet you probably should. Even though it's 35 years old now, it feels like it was just written and released yesterday. It's a brilliantly subversive satire that should in all honesty scare the hell out of you for how close it gets to the truth. Long before the 99% percent decided to protest on Wall Street, the protagonist Howard Beale was the original outcry of the disaffected who were "mad as hell and not going to take it any more." His protest was ultimately co-opted by the very corporations controlling our lives he was crying out against. Immortal Technique's artistic struggle is not unlike that portrayed by Peter Finch in this seminal film - trying to protest the culture we live in and the values of it while simultaneously being forced to use the tools of that system to put the message out. Despite the inherent danger that the system itself could corrupt his message, Tech has remained unrepentantly defiant, constantly flipping a middle finger at the U.S.A. and daring people to either love him or hate him. There is NO middle ground. His enemies would label him a communist or a Marxist, or a Che Guevara wannabe, without really having any understanding of who Che is or why he's inspired so many impoverished and disenfranchised people. I'm no expert myself, but the last time I checked the "Red Scare" was over, Joseph McCarthy had been dead for 55 years, and the 1st Amendment is still the law."

Applejaxx :: Organic :: Fadacy Music
as reviewed by Patrick Taylor

"Applejaxx is the a North Carolina artists who has been making club music about Jesus for the past seven years. He has released three albums and several EPs, and has just released his latest, "Organic." As with most of his previous albums, "Organic" is a concept album, built around the idea of returning to the pure, natural, and unadulterated. Applejaxx works the organic concept for all it is worth. "Original" has a bouncing Middle Eastern beat, which Applejaxx uses to compare his flow to organic food. The metaphor is pretty tortured, but the beat is banging. "Got Jesus" uses passing up pastries for whole food while grocery shopping as a metaphor for choosing God. "BlueBerry Slangin'" has a wicked Southern rap beat, and Applejaxx raps about accepting God, with blueberry slanging representing the fruits of his faith. The more Applejaxx tries to shoehorn his raps into the organic concept, the weaker his rhymes are. It's when he ditches the idea of being organic that he delivers his best rhymes. "Runnin'" is one of the stronger tracks. It's a slower song built around a gorgeous R&B hook with Applejaxx rapping about working hard to overcome the struggles in life. He ends the album with "Live Fresh," which has a bugged-out beat and some of Applejaxx's strongest rapping. "

B. Durazzo :: Beats Vol. 1 :: Bandcamp.com
as reviewed by Patrick Taylor

"Benjamin Durazzo is a 23-year-old hip-hop producer who teaches middle school kids music when he's not in front of his MPC. For those of you not familiar with the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland is sort of what Brooklyn is to New York City. The cheaper rent and larger spaces has made it a haven for artists, hipsters, and anyone not working a full-time white collar job. The art scene has blown up in recent years, and Oakland is home to one of the most intense and active Occupy movements outside of New York. If you are a cool kid in the Bay Area, you most likely live in Oakland. Oakland also has a more vibrant hip-hop scene than San Francisco, mostly because more musicians can actually afford to live and record there. Too $hort, Tupac, Mac Dre and Del tha Funky Homosapien all called Oakland home at some point. This 16-track beattape from B. Durazzo is continuing Oakland's hip-hop legacy. Durazzo is a producer in the Blockhead vein of hip-hop producers. He uses samples from non-traditional sources and goes for a vibe that is mellow and melancholy instead of hyped up. It's about as far from mobb music or hyphy as you can get and still be from the same town. The backbone of all of the songs are crisp drums that sound live. "

Defari :: Focused Daily :: Tommy Boy Records
** RapReviews "Back to the Lab" series **
as reviewed by Aaron Boyce

"I decided to revisit Defari's 1999 debut LP after I came across a couple of references to it on the site but without an actual review in the archives. I remember frequently bumping this album back when it dropped as well as a few times since and wondered whether it would stand up to scrutiny thirteen years later or if nostalgia was getting the better of me. Back when this was released the Likwit Crew had one of the strongest cliques in the game. With Tha Alkaholiks, Xzibit, Lootpack, King T and Defari along with the closely affiliated Dilated Peoples and Strong Arm Steady, the Likwit Crew had a whole bunch of talented MCs and dope producers. Any crew that can call on in-house production from Madlib, Evidence and E-Swift as well as rhymes from Tash, J-Ro, Xzibit and Iriscience had some serious strength in depth. The fact that many of these artists have gone on to enjoy solo success away from the Likwit umbrella speaks volumes about just how talented this particular crew were. Defari's career sadly never reached the heights of an Xzibit or an Evidence but his story is well known. Complete with a bachelor's degree from California and a master's degree from New York, Defari spent many years as a teacher of both history and geography at Inglewood High School in California before his hip-hop career took over and he swapped the classroom for the studio.

D-N.Y.C. & Yung Steez :: Under the Radar Mixtape :: Team C.A.M.
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon

"First and foremost I want to thank D-N.Y.C. & Yung Steez for taking the time to do an interview with me for RapReviews.com last week. They were not forewarned about the possibility ahead of time - they were there to be the local act opening for the Black Cloud Tour. Despite being caught off guard they took full advantage of the opportunity and delivered with a 15 minute conversation talking about their hustle, creating music with meaning, and even making some predictions about Nebraska football. After the interview they handed me a copy of this "Under the Radar Mixtape," which includes songs they were performing live that night. Now it would be easy for a grizzled reviewer like me to snark on the cover art, but I realize that as young up-and-coming rappers they don't necessarily have the budget to drop bills on a graphic designer. I can respect that because after all the music matters more than the artwork; the beats and the rhymes take precedence over having CD bling. It's definitely a homebrew CD-R affair, but again I applaud the hustle of them actually HAVING physical product at the show. So many times a local act opening for a national tour doesn't have the confidence to promote themselves or the moxie to bring their own merch. Since Yung Steez & D-N.Y.C. did, that puts them a half-step ahead of the rest. There are two stand-out tracks on the "Under the Radar" mixtape out of six songs total. When I ripped the CD to iTunes it actually had seven tracks, but the "Intro" doesn't really get into anything that you could call a song - it's just a shoutout to who they are and their ambition to be "Climbin' Charts" that's slightly over a minute long. As a set-up for "Underdogs (How I'm Feelin')" though it'll do fine since that's one of the aforementioned stand-outs. "

Shabazz Palaces :: Black Up :: Sub Pop Records
as reviewed by Patrick Taylor

"Shabazz Palaces came out of nowhere two years ago shrouded in mystery. They released two solid EPs, and generated buzz in their hometown Seattle with their live act, no small feat considering it's basically two dudes fiddling with a laptop. Finally it came out that the man behind Shabazz Palaces was Ishmael Butler, aka Butterfly from 90s jazz rap group Digable Planets. Evidently F. Scott Fitzgerald didn't know what the hell he was talking about when he said "There are no second acts in American lives." I wrote a glowing review of one of Shabazz Palaces EPs. It was an excellent album that pushed hip-hop in interesting directions. "Black Up" came out last March and improved upon the template that Butler had laid down with their EPs. The album is produced by Shabazz Palaces, and it is blunted out and claustrophobic. Everything is soaked in a warm, throbbing bass, with tinges of melodies and an undercurrent of menace throughout. It's not totally unlike the Digible Planets' second album, but takes the dark funk of "Blowout Comb" and feeds it through an electronic processor, giving it a contemporary sound. "

Soul Khan :: Wellstone EP :: Brown Bag AllStars
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon

"R.I.P. Anthony Williams. That's the second song I've heard throw him a shoutout in as many days, but even as we inexorably march toward the third anniversary of his passing, the tributes are welcome. We do tend to immortalize the ones who affected us, and I for one hope I won't have to do the same for Soul Khan any time soon. From the first time I heard him on a Brown Bag AllStars single, his voice grabbed my attention and refused to relinquish it. I understand it's a little froggy for some, but then the late great Guru had his detractors too. And like the Gifted Unlimited, Soul Khan uses his vocals to say something "About Something," making sure every word matters. Soul Khan enjoys being the unconventional emcee vocally and lyrically, and it shows on every track of the "Wellstone EP." On "Not Like That" featuring Akie Bermiss, he openly mocks men who are too macho to perform cunniligus, and so misogynistic they have to proclaim they "love no hoe" on every song. Quoth Khan: "It's obvious though! Cause if you did, you wouldn't be callin 'em hoes." Say word. He's not above being a braggart though, as you'll hear him say he can "swim through piranhas and shake 'em off" on the churchly inspired "Khangregation." On the title track of "Wellstone" he spits "I'm takin every shot 'til the buzzer beeps/and touchin every base 'til I stub my cleats." He's a multi-sport baller, and if you count hip-hop as a sport too that means he's up to 3. "

Big K.R.I.T. :: 4evaNaDay :: LiveMixtapes.com
as reviewed by Emanuel Wallace

"Andre 3000 once famously quipped, "forever never seems that long, until you're grown." Well, for Meridian, Mississippi's own Big K.R.I.T. it seems like it's going to take forever for his major label debut album to see the light of day. It could be label politics over at Def Jam, it could be sample clearance issues. It's hard to say. I don't really know if it's bothering Big K.R.I.T. that much though, as he continues to do what he does best, gaining fans in the process of it all. Just shy of one year ago, Krizzle released "Return of 4Eva," the follow up to the critically (no pun intended) acclaimed "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here." The project did well and I even listed it in my top five releases of the year. It came in at number two, behind Killer Mike's "Pl3dge." Having the past as a reminder of what K.R.I.T. is capable of, the question becomes whether or not he can continue to display the talent that got him selected as one of XXL's Top 10 Freshmen in 2011. I'm pleased to report that Justin Scott doesn't appear to have lost a step with this project. Personal, heartfelt lyrics and soulful production have been key factors in K.R.I.T. building the following that he has amassed up to this point in his career, and this time around he's coming with much of the same. After the brief intro on "8:04AM," things kick off with "Wake Up." The track features Willie B on saxophone and hits on the oft-discussed topic by K.R.I.T. of waking up and actually making things happen...even if it's at the expense of missing a few phone calls because "being broke ain't fun" and the pity party he's thrown for himself starts to get a bit dull after awhile. "

Avoiding Immigration Law Scams: Finding Legitimate Legal ...

Need help with your USCIS forms?

You can file USCIS forms yourself, but many people choose to have help. You may need help writing in the answers to questions on USCIS forms or translating documents into English.? You can get this type of limited help from anyone. This person should only charge you?a small fee and not claim to have special knowledge of immigration law and procedure.

Not sure what immigration benefit to apply for or which USCIS forms you need to file? Then you may need immigration legal advice.

Only attorneys or accredited representatives can:

Give you legal advice about which forms to submit
Explain immigration options you may have
Communicate with USCIS about your case

An attorney or a BIA-accredited representative can legally represent you before USCIS.?Your legal representative must file a Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, with your application(s).? USCIS will send information on your application to your legal representative.

WARNING: ?Notarios,? notary publics, immigration consultants and businesses cannot give you immigration legal advice. In many other countries, the word ?notario? means that the individual is an attorney, but that is not true in the United States.?If you need help with immigration issues, be very careful before paying money to anyone who is neither an attorney nor a BIA-accredited representative of a recognized organization.

How can I find a licensed attorney?

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) provides a listing of attorneys?in your state who?provide immigration services?either for free or for little cost. The American Bar Association also provides information on finding legal services?in your state.

When choosing an attorney you should:

Make sure that the attorney is eligible to practice in?and is?a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court of ? any U.S. state, possession, territory or commonwealth, or the District of Columbia.
Make sure that the attorney is not under any court order restricting his or her practice of law.
Ask to see the attorney?s current licensing document, and verify through the state bar association that he or she is a licensed attorney.?
Check the "List of Currently Disciplined Practitioners." This is where the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) lists people who have been expelled or suspended from practicing law?before USCIS.?Attorneys who are on the list and who have a ?No? in the last column on the right may not be eligible to give you legal advice.?Ask to see a copy of the reinstatement order from the BIA.

What if I live outside of the United States?

An attorney admitted and licensed to practice law outside the United States can represent you if your application or petition is filed in a USCIS office outside the U.S. This attorney must be:

Admitted and licensed to practice law in the country in which he or she resides
In good standing in a court of general jurisdiction of the country in which he or she resides
Currently practicing law as a profession

Additionally, this attorney must file a G-28I, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney in Matters Outside the Geographical Confines of the United States.? Please note,?this attorney?can only represent you if your case is being processed outside of the U.S.? If?your case is transferred to a domestic USCIS office, USCIS will communicate with you directly.

Can a person who is not an attorney represent me?

Yes. You have the option of seeking help from a:

BIA-recognized organization
Law student or law graduate being supervised by an eligible attorney or a BIA-accredited representative

Accredited Representatives

A BIA-accredited representative working for a BIA-approved organization is eligible to represent you before USCIS and EOIR.? BIA accredited representatives are?not attorneys, but they may give you immigration legal advice. An accredited representative must work for a BIA-approved non-profit, religious, charitable, social service or similar organization in the United States.?Her or she may only charge nominal (small) fees, if any, for legal services.

If you choose to work with a BIA-accredited representative from a BIA-recognized organization, you should:

Check the BIA website for the "List of Accredited Representatives and Recognized Organizations."
Ask to see the BIA order granting the application of the recognized organization.
Ask to see the BIA order approving the individual as an accredited representative.?Approval is granted for three years.? Make sure that the BIA order is still valid and that the individual?is approved to represent you before USCIS.?The accredited representative should not have any problem giving you this information.
Check the "List of Currently Disciplined Practitioners."?Accredited representatives who are on this list,?and who?have? a ?No? in the last column on the right, may not be eligible to give you legal advice.? You should ask the accredited representative if he or she has been reinstated to practice and ask to see a copy of the reinstatement order from the BIA.

Law students and law graduates

A law student participating in a legal aid program, law school clinic or nonprofit organization may represent you before USCIS if?he or she is?being supervised by?a licensed attorney or BIA-accredited representative. The supervising attorney or accredited representative of the legal aid program, law school clinic or nonprofit organization must complete Form G-28 as your representative. See Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR), Part 292.

A law graduate not yet admitted to the bar but working for an attorney or a BIA-accredited representative may represent you before USCIS. The supervising attorney or a BIA-accredited representative must complete Form G-28 as your representative.

Future versions of Form G-28 will have spaces for the name of the law student or law graduate and his or her signature on the same Form G-28 submitted by the supervising attorney or BIA-accredited representative. The law student or law graduate must have permission of the USCIS official before whom they seek to appear. The USCIS official may require that the supervising attorney or BIA-accredited representative accompany the law student or law graduate. The law student or law graduate may sign the application or petition as the "preparer."

Friends or relatives?at your interview for support

You may bring a relative, neighbor, clergyman, business associate or personal friend to your interview or other appearances in person in a USCIS office.? This person is a "reputable individual" in the regulations at 8 CFR 292.1(a)(3). Reputable individuals may not file Form G-28. Instead, they must submit a statement to the USCIS/DHS official which states:

You personally requested they attend your interview
You have not paid them a fee to help you
The person's relation to you (relative, neighbor, clergyman, business associate or personal friend)??

Please note that the DHS official?may decide?not permit a reputable individual to appear at your interview.

Metropolis ? Arts & Entertainment | Orbital | ajudaparamim.info

Courtesy of Beatink

Orbital?s Paul and Phil Hartnoll may be the landed gentry of electronic music, but that doesn?t mean they?re stuck in their old analog foxhunting ways. When I reach younger brother Paul he?s reveling in the rare English sun, programming a live set for their new album on his laptop.

?We didn?t find a computer approach that was good enough until Ableton software came along,? Hartnoll explains about their move to computers. ?These days everyone?s spoiled. We?ve got too much technology. You have to be disciplined?there is no end to the recording process now.?

Orbital?s first disc since their 2009 reunion, Wonky excels at the kind of hooky, melody-driven techno that made them giants of ?90s electronic music. ?In the old days you could hear the simplicity of music that was made with only a few synths,? Hartnoll says. ?There was a kind of raw joy to it that we?ve tried to maintain.?

A band that?s headlined Glastonbury and Woodstock presumably has all the gear time and money can provide. How do they stay focused?
?I?m not entirely sure? it?s something you instinctively feel over the years,? he muses. ?The first few hours of a song are going to be the heart and soul?the rest of the time is wrestling that into shape. The discipline is knowing when to stop.?

Exposure to Detroit techno was an ear-opening experience for the Hartnoll bros, but their sound derives as much from pop as it does from hardcore dance music. ?If it doesn?t stir me emotionally it?s not working,? Paul affirms. ?The stuff that influenced me was Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire?song-based electronic groups more than my contemporaries.?

Now 43 and with three kids, Hartnoll approaches music from a different perspective than two decades ago, when he and his brother named their group ?Orbital? after the London ring road near which many raves were held in the late ?80s and early ?90s.

?It feels totally refreshed,? he says breathlessly. ?We had to go away and have a break. We were fed up with each other and what we were doing. We had to appreciate what we?d given up. We came back to it wiser, and with knowledge to resurrect creatively, which is an amazing thing to do?to find that it is still very full of life.?

Invited to play England?s Big Chill in 2009, the Hartnolls were so enthused at being back on stage together that they decided to get to work on a new album. The resulting collection of tracks takes its name from the second to last outing, the zany ?Wonky? featuring the wind-up raps of voluble 23-year-old Brit-hopper Lady Leshurr.

Other tracks bear the distinct imprint of the currently inescapable subterranean bass lines of dubstep. ?For me, music is a cultural group experience,? Paul explains. ?We play music to people, we listen, it?s like one big circulated idea, a big melting pot. You take your influences and do it your way. We?ve got modern dubsteppy sounds because we enjoy some of the great stuff going on, but then there?s also a lot of contemporary modern folk music I listen to which influenced it. Influences are unavoidable because music is one big thing we all experience together.?

Orbital returns in May to reprise an appearance at Metamorphose, which was canceled last September amid a typhoon. First on these shores 20 years ago, they?ve headlined all the big events in Japan, including some of the formative ?90s raves on the slopes of Mt. Fuji.
Where will they be another two decades down the road? ?Sitting on this bench, talking to people like you,? Hartnoll affirms. ?Stopping and starting again was the best thing we ever did. We are really fired up and wouldn?t have been as inspired as we are now. Retiring once was great, but I?m not doing that again.?

Metamorphose @Makuhari Messe, May 12 (listing). Wonky is available on Beat Records Mar 28.

Tips For Middle Aged And Elderly People Who Are Suffering From ...

How many times have you seen people trying to escape the process of growing old? Women look in the mirror and sigh, looking at their wrinkles and men feel intimidated by the loss of stamina. You try to catch up with age by applying creams and visiting beauty parlors or taking pills, but at one point or the other you have to accept the fact that it is going to catch up with you. So, is that all to aging? The answer is No.

Say Hello to the fearsome Arthritis. Arthritis is a joint disease. It is the result of an inflammation of the cartilage, tendons and muscles connected to the affected joint. Since the target group is between the ages of 30 and 50, it is quite clear that Arthritis is not the result of aging. Yet, we cannot ignore the fact that aging, causes cells to become weaker. Being in this situation, if a person gets attacked by Arthritis, dealing with it is not going to be an easy task.

The cause for Arthritis is a world famous mystery. A hereditary pattern, though visible in some patients, cannot be considered as the prime cause for this disease. Nonetheless, a patient in the family should always be seen as a wake up call for others. Fighting Arthritis can be an awful experience. They say you never know the value of something until you have lost it. Joints may seem like a minor part of your body until Arthritis strikes.

Every single activity concerning that particular joint will make you swear a hundred times. It is definitely a killer. Well, not literally, but no other word seems to give a better explanation for the pain. Particularly if the lower body is affected, even the simplest tasks such as bending, sitting, squatting, jumping, jogging, running and even walking will seem practically impossible to perform without any pain. Sometimes the pain doesn?t need to play the major role. The joints can become so stiff you might not be able to even move the leg, hand or hip.

Fortunately several treatment methods are available. Surgery is on the plate but surgical wounds may take a longer time to heal in older patients. This will only add to your troubles. To this reason surgery is taken as the last resort by most rheumatologists. Other treatments include medications, exercises for arthritis, diet and natural applications such as glucosamine supplements.

Just imagine having to deal with Arthritis while experiencing the other consequences of aging. Stop breaking your knuckles and say goodbye to an unhealthy life style. It may be an inevitable disease but not uncontrollable.
