Keller Williams releases his first-ever all-covers collection, amusingly titled Thief, on May 25, 2010. Recorded with the Keels—husband and wife duo Larry and Jenny Keel—Thief includes songs originally written and recorded by as wildly diverse an assemblage as anyone's ever likely to dream up.
Keller is on tour this summer - at solo shows, with The Keels, and even for a run of gigs as vocalist/guitarist in The Rhythm Devils, the project by Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann and his partner percussionist Mickey Hart. Keller's complete list of currently confirmed tour dates is included below.
Thief offers up Keller-versions of songs by an [almost] unthinkable collection of artists: from Amy Winehouse ("Rehab") to the Grateful Dead ("Mountains of the Moon"), the Butthole Surfers ("Pepper") to Kris Kristofferson ("Don't Cuss That Fiddle," which opens the album, and "The Year 2003 Minus 25," which closes the album). The set is filled out with tunes by Ryan Adams, the Presidents of the United States of America, the Raconteurs, Patterson Hood, Danny Barnes, Cracker, the Yonder Mountain String Band and Marcy Playground. All over the place, indeed, but that's the way Williams likes it. And in his hands it all makes sense—like everything he's ever touched, whether from his own pen or someone else's, it all becomes Keller Williams' music. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for a big Thief pre-sale and contest announcement coming soon.
Keller's thirst for music of all kinds has also led him to the world of radio. For the past seven years he has hosted Keller's Cellar, a weekly syndicated program available on over 40 terrestrial stations and online. Williams describes the show as "a self-indulgent, hour-long narrated mix tape of stuff I'm into. It's rule-less except for what the FCC says we can't do. I don't play contemporary country music. I don't play contemporary Christian music—however, there is possibly some old gospel. I don't play opera. Everything else is fair game. World music from all around—African music from all the countries, jazz, funk, reggae, techno, chill, lounge, lounge singers, rub-a-dub, dancehall. I pretty much stay away from smooth jazz. It's definitely a fun outlet for me."
Long considered one of the most unique and prolific performers in all of rock, the Fredericksburg, Virginia native is known for flying by the seat of his pants on stage, utilizing an unorthodox approach that centers around an Echoplex Digital Pro looping unit, which allows Keller to alternate between several instruments on stage.

He was a jazz trumpet player, bandleader, singer, and composer. In the late 1940s, Gillespie was also involved in the movement called Afro-Cuban music, bringing Latin and African elements to great prominence and in the late 1940's recorded with Chano Pozo and Mario Bauza.

After the overwhelming response to Safe Inside the Day in February 2008, the unique Baby Dee returns with A Book of Songs for Anne Marie, out in North America on 4/20 via Drag City. What was telling about the response to Safe Inside the Day was the purity of reaction. The back story, (let's face it, Baby Dee is the epitome of the phrase) never overshadowed the fact that she gives everything and that is what connects with critics and audience alike. Harkening to the song cycles and lieder of Schubert and Schumann, the tracks of A Book of Songs for Anne Marie are part of a greater whole, a series of poems set to music. Joined by a talented group of musicians, including Matthew Robinson (cello), Sarah Alden (violin), John Nowel (violin) and John Contreras (cello), Dee will cross the continent, performing these minimally orchestrated, tender songs on piano as only she can: with humor, warmth, and gravity.
Check out the song "Lilacs" off of A Book of Songs for Anne Marie here.

Legendary drummer and co-founder of the Grateful Dead, Bill Kreutzmann, together with funky bluesman and voodoo electronic pioneer Papa Mali, officially unveil 7 Walkers' spring plans. 7 Walkers, which also features bass virtuoso Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, JFJO) and multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard (Willie Nelson and Friends), will stop at select markets and festivals through out the country, all in anticipation of a new album release. The complete list of currently confirmed tour dates is included below.
7 Walkers recently spent time at an Austin, Texas studio, recording an album to be released later this year. In addition to a brand-new batch of Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan lyricist) originals that were co-written with the band, the new album offers up favorites from the Grateful Dead repertoire, Papa Mali originals, and some New Orleans and Southern songbook interpretations. Overall, the result is a fiery and funky collection of tunes that quite brilliantly capture the unique collaboration between these two very different musical shamans.
Bill Kreutzmann (who played every show in the Grateful Dead's illustrious 30 year career as well as The Dead incarnations since) first met funky Papa Mali at a festival in 2008. Bill recalls in a recent interview, "We first met at the Oregon Country Fair last year. He was the headliner on the main stage, and I sat there and watched him and went, 'This guy's for real man, I like this guy.' Then we met, after that he came over to my trailer that I was staying in and you couldn't separate us, we talked for hours. It was just one of those natural things, you know? You can't plan it; You can't make it happen. And then we started playing together."
Live audio recordings of the 7 Walkers can be heard at the newly re-launched www.billkreutzmann.com.
Meanwhile, at nugs.net, fans can now download live BK3 recordings from their 2009 Colorado shows. Another potent Kreutzmann musical project, BK3 first toured in 2008 and featured a rotating lineup including such players as guitarist Scott Murawski (Max Creek) and bassists James "Hutch" Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt), Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers), and Mike Gordon (Phish).
Bill Kreutzmann is also working to support the efforts of University of California at Santa Cruz, who has committed to helping to archive all things Grateful Dead. As Kreutzmann explains, "I am incredibly happy that the kind archivists at UC Santa Cruz understand the social value of [the Grateful Dead's] priceless archive, and its hallowed meaning to our most beloved 'Dead Heads.' Without the care it is now going to receive, these treasures would be lost."

Immerse yourself in jazz vocals from ballads to low-down blues, mellow sax, high-pitch trumpet, Latin piano at the 33rd Cape May Jazz Festival April 16-18, 2010, presented by Bank of America and New Jersey Department of Travel and Tourism. Spyro Gyra opens up the festival Friday night with music that encompasses straight-ahead jazz, blues, Latin, Brazilian, instrumental pop, funk and fusion. For more than 3 decades Spyro Gyra has been dominating the contemporary jazz scene and still has a snap, originality and fresh sound which appeals to both old and new fans. Blues singer Shemekia Copeland opens up Saturday night with her huge, blast-furnace voice which gives her music a timeless power and heart-pounding urgency. Her music comes from deep within her soul and from the streets where she grew up.
Friday night tenor saxophonist Tim Warfield, one of the most impressive young tenors around, will pay Tribute to Shirley Scott with his organ quintet. Warfield wanted to pay tribute to Shirley using the Hammond B-3 to relate his happy, soulful experiences with music they performed together, songs introduced by her or original compositions Warfield wrote with her in mind. Continuing Friday night guitarist Monnette Sudler will perform in Carneys Main Room with tenor Bootsie Barnes, trombonist Steve Turre and Aaron Graves on keys for a slamming hard-bop groove. For a total change of pace vocalist Marta Topferova, who moved from Prague to New York City and immersed herself in the dynamic clusters of Latin American life, will entertain in Carneys Other Room with her elegant, low-key misty voice backed by stellar musicians who include Latin sounds from Cuban, Argentinian tango to Venezuelan rhythms. Mississippi Heat is one of Chicago's hottest blues bands playing traditional Chicago blues with their band leader's golden tone on the harmonica and vocalist Inetta Visor permeating Cabanas Friday night.
Saturday afternoon starts out with prejams in both rooms at Carneys with the up-and-coming youth bands Tom Zmuda and Thursday Night Jazz and the Divine Jazz Combo followed by jam sessions. Georgie Bonds, a world-class singer, songwriter and blues entertainer, will continue the blues tradition with Delta blues in Cabanas.
Saturday night continues with the exciting Cuban piano player Chuchito Valdes returning for 2 shows in the Grand Hotel Ballroom. Chuchito raised a mountain of rhythmic intensity with power and passion at the April 2008 festival following in the footsteps of his grandfather Bebo and father Chucho Valdes blending elements of Afro-Cuban music, jazz, bebop, mambo and cha-cha-cha. Another jazz festival favorite vocalist Juanita Williams along with Fred Hughes on piano will perform at the Jazz Dinner and 11pm show in Aleathea's Restaurant. Juanita came up musically by way of gospel, was inspired by blues greats Etta James and Aretha Franklin and sings sweet soul music and gritty blues with originality, sass and flair. Pianist Fred Hughes, another festival favorite, compliments Juanita playing dynamic piano solos. Appearing in Carneys Main Room B. D. Lenz has been described as one of the hottest new contemporary jazz guitarists on the scene today fusing jazz and rock complemented by warm chords of funk, soul, rhythm and blues to dance to. Carneys Other Room presents The Shook-Russo Quartet who is composing their own original music within the jazz idiom honoring the masters by carrying on the mainstream tradition with the huge sound and driving groove of Amy Shook on bass and the incredibly skillful Frank Russo on drums. Jesse Andrus, a favorite tenor/alto sax and flute player seen at the jams, will be in the Boiler Room with his group Absolute Truth Saturday night. Absolute Truth weaves jazz with soul, R&B, African and Latin rhythms, gospel, blues and funk which creates a sound that is at once fresh and familiar honoring the masters who came before them while creating a sound all their own. Performing in Cabanas the multi-talented Ray Schinnery will stir the soul with his vocals, move you to hilarity with his lyrics and woo you with his guitar. Pre-Jam Sunday opens up with the Little Jazz Giants and the Young Lions in 2 rooms at Carneys followed by 2 Jam Sessions along with the Charles Walker Blues Band in Cabanas. Hailing from Wisconsin the 5-piece Walker band performs various styles of blues, R&B and funk with Walker's expressive saxophone stealing the show along with Shanna Jackson's powerfully deep soulful voice.

What The Critics Are Saying:
This trio is known for its samba jazz, and, indeed, "Forests" has an overarching vibe that's as chilled and elegant as a Jobim samba. In fact, Helio Alves (piano), Duduka Da Fonseca (drums) and Nilson Matta (bass) display a great deal more breadth in their performances than simply cruising in the samba groove. On "Montreux," they evoke a lovely, impressionistic feel in their measured approach. Their take on Milton Nascimento's "Vera Cruz" has a grandness that's nearly cinematic, particularly Alves' busy, articulate opening solo. Again bringing its skills to bear on a Nascimento tune, "Tarde," Alves plays with a gravity and a stylistic flair that's truly impressive. — Philip Van
Vleck Billboard MagazineThe Brazilian Trio consists of three Brazilian-born musicians who left their native land to expand their musical horizons in New York. Pianist Helio Alves has recorded extensively as a leader, while bassist Nilsson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca make up two thirds of the group Trio da Paz. The band is not a typical piano/bass/drums trio, but an interactive group with all members contributing to the arrangements. - Ken Dryden Allmusic.comThey explore gems by Milton Nascimento (including a shimmering, reflective rendition of "Tarde" and a driving romp through "Vera Cruz"), along with a breezy take of Ivan Lins' "Amor." Their originals, which make up half of the CD, are just as potent. Alves' sauntering samba "Ubatuba," Matta's "Forests" conveys both the beauty of Brazilian wilderness and the tense daily battle for survival among its inhabitants. Da Fonseca's easygoing, lyrical "Flying Over Rio" is also noteworthy.
A classical trio with a decidedly Brazilian flavor, Brazilian Trio presents a program containing a taste of the Brazilian repertoire along with original pieces that demonstrate the group's diversity and commitment to today's contemporary jazz sounds. The three New York-based musicians from Brazil, pianist Helio Alves, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, produce enough sophisticated modern jazz rhythms here that it would be incorrect to label this album as a Brazilian genre recording. This is contemporary straight ahead jazz with a slight Brazilian slant.
The program begins with one of the best by borrowing the Ivan Lins composition "Amor," and presenting the piece in a vibrant form as Alves lays down fabulous piano lines and Da Fonseca taps the cymbals throughout. The Album is dedicated to the Brazilian forests and with that in mind the title tune ("Forests") begins with the sounds of birds and other wildlife, is introduced by light piano lines and then powers up and moves quickly. Alves presents excellent jazzy grooves on his original "Samba Alegre" giving the bassist and drummer nice solo portions.
The trio plays a beautiful light ballad with Hermeto Pascoal's largely ignored "Montreux" in an attempt to give it new life and with this rendition, they do indeed provide the spark. Drummer Da Fonseca's only original here is a dandy. The brief but bossa colored "Flying Over Rio" has the drummer on the brushes on a warm cushy piece of music. The repertoire includes a couple of Milton Nascimento tunes with the soft "Tarde," and his classic composition of "Vera Cruz," a common closer for most samba jazz recordings, finishing with a marvelous performance from Alves.
I was thoroughly enthralled by "Forests" as it is not your typical piano trio recording. The three Brazilians play their hearts out with a fiery yet graceful performance of beautiful Brazilian and modern jazz music. - Edward Blanco EjazznewsAh, a great Brazilian take on the classic jazz trio format. A transplanted bunch of hard workers tilling the fields of the Big Apple serve up a lovely cross pollinated date that's sure to hit a nerve with jazzbos and samba fans. It's unembellished but it doesn't need bells and whistles to make it's point with anything other than great playing. In general, the piano trio has a fine history and this adds a great new leg to the format's legacy. Check it out. - CHRIS SPECTOR MIDWEST RECORD
This trio consists of three of Brazil's best jazz musicians with pianist Helio Alves, drummer Duduka Da Fonseca and Nilson Matta on bass. They are all based in New York but retain strong roots in Brazil. Each is a formidable jazz artist and they have successfully melded American jazz and samba for Forests. It is a combination of originals and Brazilian standards that will resonate with fans of both segments. Highlights are "Montreux", Alves dancing across the keys on "Pro Zeca" and "Vera Cruz". - D. Oscar Groomes O's Place Jazz Newsletter
This exciting recording is a perfect example of the thorough absorption of the Bossa Nova being integrated with the mainstream jazz piano trio. All three members of Brazilian Trio are, in fact, Brazilians but have lived in New York City for decades,settling in the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
Pianist Helio Alves is the youngest of the three, having worked with Oscar Castro-Neves, Rosa Passos and Paquito D'Rivera. His decidedly modal approach to piano jazz is undoubtedly a credit to the influence of Bill Evans.
Like Alves, bassist Nilson Matta hailed from Sao Paulo and has been a prolific musician seemingly appearing on scores of dates over the years. Drummer Duduka Da Fonseca relocated from Rio in 1970 and has been a vital part of the New York jazz scene ever since; at one time he was a part of the Don Pullen Afro-Brazilian Connection. His wife is Brazilian vocalist Maucha Adnet, who has established herself as a primary interpreter of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Da Fonseca and Matta form two-thirds of Trio Da Paz along with guitarist Romero Lubambo.
The music on Forests, while reflecting the pulse and passion of Brazil, is not really Bossa Nova or Samba. Rather, it represents a synthesis of those forms with the style of the American jazz trio. The tunes are redolent of the forests of Brazil, presented in a manner that moves the music into a new category.
Opening with Ivan Lins' lovely "Amor," featuring Alves' lyrical piano, the session moves into Matta's title tune, dedicated to the forests of the Earth and in particular the Amazon Rain Forest, with Da Fonseca offering some tasty brushwork. Milton Nascimento contributes "Tarde," a beautiful melody that is limned again by Alves' Bill Evans-style work. Hermeto Pascoal's "Montreux" is a hard-to-find and rarely recorded title that made its debut at the 1979 Montreux Jazz Festival. The album concludes with Nascimento's popular "Vera Cruz," a full blown jazz samba.
One significant observation about Brazilian Trio is that, despite its members' individual recording experiences, this is a fully interactive trio, bringing the distinctive touch of Brazil to a faraway studio. - Michael P. Gladstone Allaboutjazz.comForests marks the auspicious debut of the Brazilian Trio - pianist Helio Alves, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca - three musicians already well known in Brazilian jazz circles, having played with an impressive list of Latin icons, including Paquito D'Rivera, Rosa Passos and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
While the traditional piano trio format serves them well, the group's bicultural background takes the music deeper. All three hail from Brazil yet have made New York their home. Alves' improvising sounds like he absorbed the best of Bill Evans, Matta's bass playing is tasteful, supportive and, at the same time, stylistically unique and Da Fonseca's percussion work is nothing short of masterful.
The album is a mix of original compositions and tunes from Brazilian masters such as Milton Nascimento and Victor Assis Brasil. "Amor," the opening track by Ivan Lins, sets a mellow groove; "Samba Alegre," an Alves original, showcases the trio's seamless interplay and rhythmic chops and Nascimento's "Tarde" comes off like the musical embodiment of a sunset.
The skillful ensemble work of these musicians makes this recording particularly enjoyable. In their experienced hands, this collection of samba jazz originals and well-chosen classics is a great listen. - Karen Hogg All About Jazz NY
Phix figured since Langerado put them up to show 499, and it felt so good, they might as well do show 500 and what better place than in their home town of Boulder at the historic Boulder Theater. This will be the first time Phix will be headlining this amazing room and in addition to seeing Phix hit this milestone there will be opening sets by two Phix original projects that you'll definitely want to check out. Guitarist Paul Murin and drummer Chris Sheldon will be playing with their new band The Higher Good and Bassist Brian Adams will be playing with The Ethereal Plane. This will be a great, long night of music, so please join us.
Vince died Friday, June 2nd. He played keyboards with the Grateful Dead from September 1990 - August 1995. Though he received a lot of criticism during his tenure, Vince was a loving, happy guy who played his heart out with the band. Grateful Web sends our thoughts to his family and friends. Thanks for your loving nature, Vince. We'll miss you...

November 8 & 9, 2014 – Lancaster, PA
Home for the Holidays
A celebration of American creativity is coming to the Lancaster County Convention Center, November 8 & 9. The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen presents its annual holiday fine craft fair, open from 10 am – 6 pm Saturday and 10 am – 5 pm Sunday.
The fair features the work of 140 craftspeople who were selected by a jury for their unique vision and impeccable craftsmanship. Items for sale include pottery, jewelry, designer clothing, furniture, scherenschnitte, and fine art.
Among the craftspeople representing handmade ingenuity are several Lancaster-based artists.
- Eric Berman creates bird houses from both new and old wood, topping them with verdigris copper or tin roofs. The quality of his individually crafted birdhouses was truly tested when one weathered storm Sandy in October 2012 – and still remained sturdy to provide a home for returning birds!
- Christine Spangler creates woven items of soft yarn and carefully selected color combinations. Her interpretation of this centuries-old craft often utilizes innovative fibers like bamboo.
"Lancaster itself is a great mix of creative energy and valued traditions," says executive director Sherrie Boyer. "Our craftsmen exemplify those qualities, too. It makes Lancaster a wonderful spot for our hometown and for our annual holiday show."
The Guild welcomes 6 emerging craftsmen to the fine craft fair. Three exhibitors who have honed their skill with years of constant practice will also receive recognition through the Benchmark Awards program. These awards recognize craftspeople who embody excellence in craftsmanship, resolved design, and unique style.
In its first-ever year as a "homeowner," the Guild continued its tradition of connecting master craftsmen with lovers and students of fine craft at its new headquarters, the Center of American Craft at 335 N. Queen St. The center provides creative spaces for workshops, exhibitions, and a store.
See you there!
Fair hours are 10 am to 6 pm Saturday, and 10 am to 5 pm Sunday. Admission is $8. Coupons are available for $1 off entry. Free for children 16 and under.
1500 parking spaces are available onsite and at downtown garages, parking lots, and on the street. Download a map of parking within a two block radius of the Convention Center. For questions call (717) 431-8706.

The Union-Recorder
When we think of rocket launches, most of us envision towering rockets many buildings tall, attached with various umbilical cords to a launch structure that provides access, fuel, data lines and electricity. And indeed, most rockets are launched that way — vertically.
One notable exception is the Pegasus launch system, which is launched from underneath an airplane — horizontally.
Here is how it works: A carrier airplane takes off from a runway. Attached to its belly or the underneath side of a wing is the Pegasus rocket — it looks very much like a large bomb that the jet is hauling along. The plane serves as the launch structure for the rocket, not only physically lifting it but also providing data lines. When the desired altitude is reached, the rocket is dropped — exactly like a bomb. After a few short seconds of freefall so the carrier plane can get out of the way, the rocket engines ignite and the rocket literally launches itself in mid-air. Directional wings focus the thrust downward while quickly orienting the rocket with the nose pointing upward, and off it goes!
It's quite an ingenious concept if you think about it. You don't need a dedicated launch pad — any runway long enough for your carrier jet will do, so no special infrastructure is required. A lot of fuel is saved by eliminating those first few thousand vertical feet of travel where the rocket not only has to overcome the highest gravity but also the densest atmosphere while carrying the heaviest weight. And if you're launching your rocket into a near-equatorial orbit, the sheer speed of the airplane gives you an additional boost to go into orbit.
So, why don't we launch all of our rockets that way?
You might have guessed that size has something to do with it. There are physical limitations to how much of an external load an airplane can carry — everything has to fit between the wing and the runway. So the Pegasus system is designed for smaller satellites and other orbital payloads. But if the shoe fits — wear it. To date, dozens of satellites have been sent into orbit that way. OK, so we don't get any spectacular pictures and all the fire and smoke and thunder of a vertical launch, but it's certainly a whole lot more cost-effective: A jet uses a lot less fuel than a rocket.
NuSTAR is an X-ray telescope that fits the bill for an air-launch. It is relatively small and lightweight, and unlike other X-ray telescopes of the past, such as the Compton or Chandra telescopes, NuSTAR is calibrated to work with rather high-energy x-rays — about the same as you would get at the dentist or the hospital.
In order to capture and image those x-rays, NuSTAR has to have a very large focal length. So, what's that? In simplest terms, the focal length is the distance between a lens and a surface where it forms a sharp image. If you have a camera with a zoom lens, that's exactly the same principle — the lens moves out of or into the camera housing in order to obtain a sharp image. You may also have seen those old-fashioned accordion-style cameras where you physically had to move the lens away from the photographic medium to sharpen the image — same idea. Except for NuSTAR, we're not talking about a focal length of inches. The mast separating the "lens" from the "film" is around 33 feet long! At launch the whole thing was folded up tinker-toy like in a canister barely three feet long, and once in orbit, it stretched itself out to full length. With no atmospheric drag to contend with, a delicate structure like that works perfectly well in outer space!
So what exactly is NuSTAR looking for?
We can't see Black Holes — their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape them. But as material is attracted and torn apart by its overwhelming gravity, it emits radiation, a good bit of it in the x-ray spectrum, and that's what NuSTAR will look for.
At $180 million, NuSTAR is a bargain telescope — compared to the Hubble, or especially the James Webb, both of which run into the billions. And still, NuSTAR is expected to give us some spectacular images of our own galaxies and others around us. Granted, none of them will be actual photos as such — like at the dentist's, the x-rays strike a receptor surface and those signals are interpreted by a computer near instantaneously to reveal your cavities in all their painful glory. The same will happen in NuSTAR — the data will be sent to ground stations and interpreted by computers, and then it will be time to ooh and aah over yet more spectacular views of the beauty of our universe — in a way we've never seen it before.
Incidentally, the principle of the mast is old hat to space buffs — it was originally developed for the Space Shuttle radar topography missions that took the most accurate measurements of the Earth's surface ever — the radar device sat on the end of one such mast, and it worked extremely well. At only 770 pounds, NuSTAR is a wee little guy, but we expect a big bang for our buck nonetheless. Pun fully intended!

eCommerce: A VC Story [guest post]

, on more than one occasion I encountered a VC saying that the eCommerce model doesn't have a "VC feel" to it. Huh? What were they missing? Why weren't they seeing what I was seeing? Hadn't they heard about the recent funding rounds from Ecommerce companies Groupon and LivingSocial? Since then, and after resting aside my ego, I placed myself back in my VC shoes to try to understand what "proof" such VCs needed to feel comfortable with an eCommerce investment.

Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — Several local citizens advocated a cautious approach to drilling for gas trapped in Marcellus Shale in Western Maryland at a prelegislative meeting with District 1 legislators. The meeting took place at Allegany College of Maryland Monday night.
"I think ... that there should be a moratorium on any effort to proceed with fracking in Maryland," said Jackie Sams, who said she has followed the issue closely.
In order to get the gas trapped in the shale to the surface, chemicals, water and sand are pumped underground to break apart rock formations and free the gas. The process is called hydraulic fracturing or fracking.
"The governor's executive order lays out many complex and important tasks before it can be determined if the risks are acceptable," Sams said. Sams asked for a legislative moratorium, because the executive order holding off fracking by the governor depended on one person, not the full legislature.
"It (fracking) uses up to seven million gallons of water per fracked well. Water is an incredibly precious resource," said Desiree Bullard. Bullard said use of water for fracking is a waste of a precious resource. Bullard also supports a legislative moratorium, she said.
Karen Krogh of Frostburg was also concerned.
"I support the moratorium... . It's very valuable; it will become more valuable over time. As time goes on it will become safer," Krogh said. "I really don't trust the industry," she said.
Tristan Apple of Frostburg said she was "deeply concerned" by the lack of disclosure about fracking chemicals. She asked how emergency responders and physicians could help victims and protect themselves when they did not know what chemicals were being used in fracking fluid.
Sen. George Edwards said he did not think a permit would ever be issued in Maryland without disclosure being required.
Sams asked a series of questions that needed to be answered about the impact of fracking on the environment, public health, property values and other areas.
"Accidents are very costly," Sams said. She said tourism in Alabama's coastal regions has dropped below half of what existed before the Gulf oil spill.
Sams said the industry has resisted funding studies on those issues.
That's where Edwards stepped in and said that back in 2010, the industry had offered to fund some studies if they could drill some test wells to gain revenues. He said environmentalists did not want to agree to that proposal. Edwards said that while he supported fracking, he also wanted to make sure it was "done right."
Edwards and Delegate Wendell Beitzel represent areas of the county where Marcellus Shale is present. Edwards also represents all of Garrett County and part of Washington County.
"The industry is making huge strides and advances in drilling," Beitzel said. "We need energy," he said.
Marcellus Shale formations throughout the eastern U.S. harbor large untapped natural gas resources.
Sens. Brian Frosh and Jamie Raskin have joined with Delegate Heather Mizeur to pass new limits on fracking in the General Assembly in 2013.
The state moratorium bill, to be introduced by Mizeur in the House of Delegates and Raskin and others in the Senate, would prevent fracking from occurring in Maryland until the state completes the series of 14 studies laid out in Gov. Martin O'Malley's 2011 executive order on gas drilling, which also established an advisory commission.
O'Malley's timetable calls for a final advisory commission report due in 2014; until then, no permits will be issued for drilling Marcellus Shale in the state.

Valley kids enjoy a
piece of the pie
Just before school ended in May, Angie McClure, a management assistant in Human Resources in Knoxville, sat at a table in the Christenberry Elementary School library stamping children's books with the TVA logo. At the TVA-sponsored book fair, each child was allowed to pick out two books and take them home.
"They were so cute," says McClure. "They were very excited and appreciative to take the books home with them for the summer. With smiles on their faces, you just felt good when you left."
As a Partners In Education coordinator at Christenberry, McClure spoke at Career Day in March, sat on a judges panel and sang at the Talent Show, and helped coordinator Vyrone Cravanas, a manager in Diversity Development, award the TVA Student of the Year Award.
Their work at Christenberry represents a variety of projects employees take on to support PIE, a TVA program that assists schools in the Tennessee Valley to provide a high-quality education and prepare students for employment. Founded in 1982, the PIE program now includes 70 schools in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi.
"We've gotten good feedback on these programs from students, parents and the community," says Teresa Dillard, PIE program manager in Community Relations & Diversity. "Other coordinators are borrowing some of these and other good ideas."
For instance, at Midway Elementary School in Kingston, Tenn., PIE coordinator Beth Jackson hosts an annual pizza lunch and plant tour for students who make the honor roll or have perfect attendance. "This year, we had 72 students participate," Jackson says. "It is a big achievement for the students, and they really look forward to coming to the plant to see us at work. The pizza is a big incentive, too!"
Across the Valley, TVA employees participate in job shadowing with students or in fix-up days for playgrounds or school buildings. In the past, TVA has donated surplus computer equipment to schools where the greatest need exists.
As reported in the June Inside TVA, Chattanooga employees hosted a Lego League Robotics tournament for area elementary students. In the fundraising area, TVA Nuclear has set the standard with annual golf tournaments supporting the many PIE schools in their areas. Sequoyah and Watts Bar nuclear plants each raised more than $50,000 at their annual tournaments last month, and last year, Browns Ferry raised about $125,000.
"It's driven by the enthusiasm of employees," says Dillard. "Coordinators need to have the passion to work with the schools and an ability to organize events and initiatives."

YARNELL, Ariz. -- NBC Charlotte has learned one of the 19 firefighters killed in Arizona Sunday night has ties to the Charlotte area.
Eric Marsh, 43, grew up in Ashe County.
He went to Ashe County High School and graduated from Appalachian State University.
Marsh was an avid mountain biker who grew up in Ashe County, but became hooked on firefighting while studying biology at App State, said Leanna Racquer, the ex-wife of his cousin. Marsh lived with Racquer and her then-husband during the winters from 1992 through 1996 in North Carolina, but kept returning to Arizona during fire season.
After college, he kept working as a firefighter, eventually landing a full-time job and settling in northern Arizona. He even moved his parents to the state, she said. Marsh was superintendent of the Hotshot crew and the oldest of the 19 who died.
"He's was great -- he was the best at what he did," Racquer said. "He is awesome and well-loved and they are hurting," she said of his family.
Marsh was married but had no children, said his cousin, Scott Marsh of Pisgah Forest, N.C. His father, John Marsh, told the Jefferson Post newspaper in Jefferson, N.C., that his only child "was a great son."
"He was compassionate and caring about his crew."
Marsh and 18 other members of an elite firefighting team were killed when they were overcome by flames while battling a wildfire.

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
Partially funded by the Texas Wildlife Management Association, the trapper program is a resource used by many counties across the state to deal with wildlife-related problems.
District Supervisor Randy Smith was on hand to detail the program's services during a recent Palo Pinto County Commissioner's Court session.
"I appreciate your support of our program," Smith began, explaining Palo Pinto County funds about as much of the local program as state government.
"State and county contribution is close to 50/50," he said.
Trappers are active on a federal, state and countywide level, he explained, noting local trappers are employed by the A&M AgriLife Exntension Service.
According to Smith, trappers are available to handle nearly any concern related to wildlife, whether on a rural ranch or in a residential neighborhood in Mineral Wells.
"What you're paying for is not a trapper but the services we provide," he said.
Trappers protect exotic animals, deer and cattle, Smith said, and aid in preventing feral hogs from damaging local crops.
Additionally, Smith explained his agency has performed services such as removing geese from golf courses and relocating birds from cell phone towers, noting trappers are authorized to use lethal measures when necessary in their animal control efforts.
He said the program is involved in aerial control, noting trappers own three helicopters used across the state. Two of the aircraft are available at any time, he explained, while the third is reserved as a backup.
Smith said the recent prevalence of other wild pig hunters – both aerial and on the ground – have resulted in a sort of competition between the amateur hunter and professional trapper.
For that reason, he noted, trappers caught fewer feral hogs last year than in years past.
Trappers conducted aerial missions in Palo Pinto County in 2012, Smith said, though they were relatively fruitless. Still, he added, if trappers were able to prevent one hog from damaging a residents' property, the service is worthwhile.
According to Smith, the trapper program has also been on the forefront of preventing the spread of rabies.
He said the agency receives funding to drop bait containing a vaccine for many wildlife animals and is currently in the research phase for forming an oral vaccine effective on skunks.
The process of leaving bait would be less effective for skunks than other animals, he noted, because skunks are often found in more populated areas. Smith said even an urban resident can benefit from the work trappers do, though.
"We're available to assist with any wildlife issues," he added.

Rated 5 out of 5�by johnny04 Love this! Both of my children have these and they are great for the ball field, pool and park! Great product. July 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by dt6 just ok Does not keep ice for very long. But serves it's purpose. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Clay Great Product I bought two jugs for my kids to use during an outside Band camp. The jugs help with the hot temps. The jugs kept cold water and ice for hours. I would recommend this product for anyone who needs a small cooler you can drink from. July 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Kwiser You get what you pay for! The seal was messed up on the one we bought and any time you try to drink or pour water it goes everywhere. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mike Good product- bad label Love the product. We have purchased two of these in the past. Very durable and hold up well for youth sports....... But it has a lame sticker on it. You peel it off and it leaves a big square of sticky residue where the sticker was. It picks up everything from dirt and hair to last season's poor batting swing. I wish the people that made this would put an easy-peel label that didn't leave any residue. They even use the same lame label on the part where you can "write your name". Overall it is a great product but they lose points for the poor execution of packaging. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jstan for games Got this for my son and his ball games love how easy it is to clean and have his name on it July 22, 2014

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
Over the holiday I was able to catch up on some film titles from the past year that I had failed to see during the previous twelve months. In particular, I enjoyed two documentaries, Page One: inside the New York Times and Conan O'Brien Can't Stop, that were both listed on KPL staff 2011 Best of Lists. While very different in style and content, the films relate in my opinion because the subject of each documentary seem to be, at least at some level, "in" on the project and are using the documentary format to take a position and very effectively tell the audience something about themselves. In the case of Page One, it's the NYT convincing us that they remain relevant and the authoritative place for news in an ever splintering media landscape, and in the case of Conan O'Brien, which was filmed in the aftermath of O'Brien's famously contentious split with NBC and Jay Leno, its O'Brien convincing us that he is an incredibly, almost compulsively, driven entertainer. Both films have compelling characters featured prominently, with Page One its NYT media and culture columnist David Carr – who, after watching this film, I think of as the Keith Richards of journalism – and with Conan O'Brien Can't Stop it has to be O'Brien himself, he is in nearly every frame of the film and working incredibly hard to entertain everyone near him during his every waking second. I'm glad that I had the time to watch both films, and I recommend using KPL staff picks, our Movies and Music pages, and KPL staff in all our locations to help keep your "to watch" lists full of great titles.

His handlers say he is OK and may have gotten confused because he is not the school's usual pre-game performer.

By Emma Bowen Meyer
For The Herald Bulletin
---- — PENDLETON – While some parents cannot control the urge to dress their twins to match, Ray Summeier was consistently clothed in Colts garb whereas his twin brother donned Bears apparel. The tradition bred a Colts fan of epic proportions.
"My basement is the ultimate man cave," said Ray, owner of Trustworthy Land Title. "I have the best wife ever and she let me do whatever I wanted with it. I wanted a Colts heaven."
His description doesn't do the space justice. Colts players themselves likely have less memorabilia than what graces the walls of his walk-out basement. Fans of other teams are sometimes unable to descend into the blue-and-white sea of team spirit.
Royal blue carpet is not often paired with royal blue furniture, but in the sports haven of a true fan, the look works. In addition to a couch and two recliners, horse shoe emblems appear on the gaming chairs, comfy rolling chairs, barstools, rugs, pillows, banners and even the ping pong paddles.
"We have big parties during every away game," said Dawn, Ray's wife and partner in the business. "Last time we had over 40 people here."
Home games leave the man cave deserted as the season ticket holders are at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"Not only have we picked up a lot of this stuff along the way, friends and family are always trying to buy us something we don't already have," said Ray. "It's kind of a challenge."
But the entire house isn't devoted to football. The couple built the home six years ago when they decided living in the Geist area simply wasn't for them.
"We both grew up in the country," said Ray. "We didn't having close neighbors. We saw this land and fell in love with it."
Located near Maple Ridge Elementary, the two acres curve down a hill, making the yard surrounded by fields even more private. Even though they enjoy plenty of comfortable space between them and their neighbors, the Summeiers take pleasure in spending time with them.
"We love our neighbors," said Dawn. "They are good people."
"The outside is so peaceful here," said Ray. "We have cocktail parties with the neighbors and spend time by the pool relaxing."
Experience helped with the construction of the home.
"I built this same house 20 years ago in Elkhart," said Dawn. "I pulled out the blueprints and showed them to an architect. Some things had to be changed because of today's codes, but the feel is the same – except he bumped out two sides of the house."
Openness was one of Dawn's primary concerns. Another was making use of every possible space in the 6000 square foot house.
"Attic space is wasted space," she said. "I turned what was an attic in the other house into a bonus room. I made sure that every area was being used for something and nothing was wasted."
A second detached garage sits nearby and houses Ray's car collection – a passion he intends to follow. Finished with Indiana winters, Ray and Dawn are moving to Florida where they plan to open an exotic classic car lot.
While they intend to leave the cold weather in their wake, they will not turn their backs on their favorite team.
"We will be keeping our season tickets and plan to come back for at least half of the games," said Ray. "We will wear our gear down there, just like we do when we travel to away games."
Each week, Emma Bowen Meyer features a Madison County home. If you know of a home that should be showcased, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

What Satisfied Customers Are Saying
Works great
By Judi from INDEPENDENCE,CA on 7/3/2014
We water all our lawn out of our ditch so to save our pump we water all my plants also out of the ditch, it takes a lot of time to carry buckets of water, I can water everything with this in one time and have some left. Easy to move around also.
Super fast delivery
By Keith from EDINBURG,TX on 6/30/2014
It arrived very quickly and I was able to assemble it without problems.
Good for horse barn
By Robert from NORWICH,VT on 6/17/2014
Hard to find large size with single wheel is good for mucking. Reasonble price for good quality.
Overall sturdy and easy to handle
By Robert from COOPERSTOWN,NY on 6/9/2014
While the product is overall sturdy, easy to handle, and rather excellent, there are a few quibbles: a) The product came with one faulty tire tube, although Hayneedle got the mfger to send one fairly quickly. b) The instructions do not detail where the skids attach to the frame, although it's pretty obvious. c) The handle is a little low to the ground, so even someone of average height has to bend to grasp it. Quibbles all. The LX garden utility cart is handy in the garden and Hayneedle's price is excellent too.
By Keith from HAMPDEN,MA on 5/12/2014
High quality, easy to put together !

Ethical challenges facing an attorney in a potential or ongoing ADR process may differ from those in a more typical litigation setting. In this program, a skilled writer, presenter, and consultant on ADR will address such questions as the attorney's obligation to inform and advise clients about ADR alternatives; disclosure obligations in the neutral selection process; how to address anticipated conflicts; limits of party self-determination in mediation; "good faith participation" in mediation; what can and should be reported to the court in court-annexed ADR, and more.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - University of Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self announced that junior guard Brandon Rush underwent successful surgery Friday on his torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
"The surgery couldn't have gone any better. The doctors couldn't be more pleased," Self said. "Brandon is well on the road to recovery. His rehab will start immediately."
Rush is a two-time All-Big 12 first team honoree and was a John Wooden Award All-America selection and a Naismith Award finalist in 2006-07. He has led the Jayhawks in scoring each of his first two seasons, including 13.8 points per game and was second in rebounding at 5.6 per contest this year. He also hit a team-best 50 three-pointers on the season.
