Valpo Softball Ready for Breakout Season
Wednesday, February 28, 2007After registering 22 wins in 2006, the most by a Crusader squad in 17 years, the 2007 Valparaiso University softball team is poised for a breakout season.
Head coach Randy Schneider returns all but one player of the 17 that comprised last year's roster, losing only starting left fielder Ann Sievert. Schneider has also brought in four talented newcomers to try to get the Crusaders back to the Mid-Con Tournament in their final season of competition in the league.
Valpo returns all of its pitchers from a staff that posted a team ERA of 2.97 last year, an improvement of 1.29 over the previous year.
Leading the way is junior Andrea Zappia, a second team All Mid-Con selection in 2006. Valpo's relief ace ranked among the league's top-10 in seven different categories, leading the league with 45 appearances and six saves. Her save total is the best in a single-season in Crusader history and gives her nine for her career, most all-time by a Valpo player. Zappia also finished second in the Mid-Con in opponents' batting average (.228) and fourth in ERA (2.41).
Junior Chris Halstead and sophomore Stephanie Kelly saw the vast majority of the starts in the circle for Valpo in 2006, as Halstead earned 24 starts and Kelly 18 out of Valpo's 52 games. Halstead's eight wins ranked seventh in the Mid-Con, while her 2.53 ERA was good for ninth in the league. Kelly posted four wins as a freshman, striking out 73 batters while walking just 24. She closed the season strong, registering a 0.84 ERA over her final six games.
Joining the pitching staff is freshman Carrie Franson, who was twice named Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Player of the Year. Franson especially excelled as a junior, leading Poynette to a state championship while going 13-0 with a 0.02 ERA and tallying seven no-hitters.
Second team All Mid-Con selection Shannon Robinson returns for her junior year to lead the Crusaders behind the plate. Robinson banged out 51 hits last season, second-most in a single season in Crusader history, and matched the school record with 13 doubles. Robinson led Valpo with a .321 batting average, ninth-best in the league, and 24 RBIs. On the defensive side, the junior threw out 41.3% of base runners trying to steal last year and picked off eight other runners.
Allison Whitesell also returns after starting four games behind the plate and nine games overall last season. The senior hit .206 in 34 at-bats last year. Freshman Whitney Warner will join the mix for 2007, looking to earn time both behind the plate and as the designated player. Warner set an Indiana state record for career putouts while earning all-state honors twice.
The Crusaders return all four starters on the infield, including seniors Beth Adamski and Taylor Callahan at first and third base, respectively.
Callahan earned second team all-conference honors last year after hitting .261 with 25 runs scored while starting all 52 games, 49 at third base. The senior has started 156 games in her first three seasons, and is among Valpo's all-time leaders in assists, runs scored and home runs. She tallied 11 extra-base hits among her 42 hits last season.
Adamski has started 152 games in her career, including 49 last year at first base. She hit .228 with seven doubles last year for Valpo, giving her 15 career two-base hits. On defense, she is second in Crusader history and 14th in Mid-Con history with 868 putouts.
Junior Alicia Ashburn enters 2007 as the incumbent starting second baseman. Ashburn hit a team-high five home runs last year and finished second on the team with 19 runs scored. Fellow junior Mallory Gill started 49 games at shortstop for the Crusaders in 2006, hitting .220 with five doubles.
Junior Courtney LaFerle moves to shortstop, where she started 13 games as a freshman, after seeing the majority of her playing time in the outfield last year. LaFerle hit .255 last season with nine doubles and 17 RBIs.
Backing up the infielders will be sophomore Bethany Boomer. Six of Boomer's 13 starts as a freshman came at second base, and she saw action in 36 games, making 56 plate appearances.
The Crusaders return two outfield starters for the 2007 campaign, led by senior Megan Carroll. Carroll made 24 starts last year in right field before suffering a season-ending injury. She was enjoying a stellar campaign at the time of the injury, hitting at a .410 clip with nine extra-base hits in just 78 at-bats.
Karen Korb returns for her sophomore year after earning the starting nod in center field 45 times last year. Korb excelled on the basepaths, stealing 16 bases, fourth-most in a season in Valpo history. She also handled the bat well, laying down 20 sacrifices, and led all regulars with a .361 on-base percentage.
First team All Mid-Con honoree Ashley Wolter will likely see playing time at designated player and in the outfield. As a freshman, Wolter slugged .434 in 76 at-bats while starting 26 games, including 12 at the outfield corners.
Joining the outfielders for 2007 will be junior college transfer Tracy Korth. Korth comes to Valpo from Elgin Community College, where she was a two-time Skyway Conference All-League honoree and earned league Player of the Year honors in 2006. Fellow newcomer Kristyna Hix looks to play as a freshman after leading her high school squad to a district championship in 2006.
Junior Kayla Grutz moves to the outfield after pitching and pinch-running in her first two seasons. Senior Jessica Schultz returns after not playing in 2006, while Ashburn, LaFerle and Robinson could all also see time in the outfield.
Valpo kicks off the 2007 campaign March 4 versus Detroit at the Rebel Spring Games, one of 12 games the Crusaders will be playing in Orlando, Fla. On the way back from Orlando, the Crusaders will stop to play doubleheaders at Gardner-Webb and East Tennessee State.
Other non-conference action includes nine games against Indiana schools, including a doubleheader March 28 against Purdue to kick off the home season. Valpo will travel to Notre Dame for a game on April 4, while also making the trek to East Lansing, Mich. to play two games against Michigan State on May 3.
Valpo's final Mid-Continent Conference slate will begin March 23-24 with a series at UMKC. The Crusaders will host Southern Utah, IUPUI and Western Illinois, while also traveling to take on Oakland and Centenary. The Mid-Con Tournament will be hosted by Centenary in Shreveport, La., beginning May 11.
The Crusaders return experience all around the diamond at every position, as well as in the dugout, where Schneider became Valpo's all-time winningest coach late last season. The pieces are in place for Valpo to contend for one of the top spots in the Mid-Con in its final season in the league.

Arjo & GilbertAvg. Member Rating:
Our well hung Asian twink Arjo takes a liking to Gilbert's bubble ass. The two Asian twinks start off with some watersports piss play in the bathtub. Gilbert wants to relish that huge cock in his mouth for a while before he receives it in his ass. Between the pissing, the two cute boys bareback fuck and switch before moving their horny action to the bedroom where the twinks continue with ass rimming, dildo play, and more gay oral and bareback sex!

Posted Friday, June 1, 2012 --- 8:40 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin transportation officials are warning motorists to watch out for deer this month.
The Department of Transportation says deer activity increases in June as does look for places to give birth and young deer separate from their mothers. The agency says June ranked as the worst or second-worst for motorist injuries from deer crashes in four of the last five years.
The agency says drivers should be especially watchful in the early morning and evening hours, when deer are the most active. If drivers spot a deer along the side of the road, they should slow down and honk their horns in hopes of scaring the deer away.
If drivers hit a deer, they should move their vehicles off the road, stay in them and call police.

Families - Click the Cap
Drive Smart and Save
Tips for Car Maintenance:
Good Maintenance practices to help you save money and become more fuel-efficient.
Read your Vehicle Owner's Manual and follow the recommended maintenance schedule:
1. Change engine oil with correct oil and oil filter (1-2% mpg benefit)
2. Replace clogged air filter (up to 10% mpg benefit)
3. Tune your engine (4% average mpg benefit)
Click the Cap
Save $120 a year by making certain the gas cap is tight. Loose, damaged, or missing fuel tank caps cause 147 million gallons of fuel to evaporate each year.
Keep up the pressure
Check your tire pressure monthly. Approximately 35% of all vehicles are running on under-inflated tires. Proper tire pressure is safer, extends tire life, and can improve mpg by up to 3%. Make sure your tire pressure is set to the manufacturer specifications. Check the tire pressure with your own tire gauge once a month.
Keep your trunk clean
An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your miles per gallon (mpg) by up to 2%. Removing unnecessary items from your trunk saves fuel.
Keep your car in shape.
A well-maintained vehicle can return fuel economy increases such as:
a. Proper turning
b. Air filter replacement
c. Use of manufacturer's recommended grade motor oil
d. Properly inflated tires
Remove unused roof racks
This action will reduce aerodynamic drag and increase fuel economy.
Track your fuel consumption
Keep a small notebook or collect fuel reciepts to record distance travelled and fuel economy (mpg). See Ecomodder.com for more information on tracking fuel consumption.
Clean off snow and ice
Clean snow and ice off of your vehicle before driving. This will minimize your use of energy-consumption, will reduce weight, and will avoid potentially dangerous conditions for drivers.
Clean out the garage
If you have a garage space for your vehicle, cleaning it during the cold months will allow for a faster warm up and better fuel economy.

August 2, 2014
Thousands of Aggies gathered Sunday for Aggie Muster at Reed Arena.
It's is a long-time Texas A&M tradition, and organizers say it's a chance for family and friends to both grieve and celebrate the lives of those who are no longer with us.
"We're all here to honor the fallen Aggies who have died this past year," said Elaina Stephenson, a Texas A&M student.
More than 100 fallen Aggies were remembered in this year's ceremony.
Some graduated from Texas A&M more than 50 years before current students were even born. Others died before they were old enough to graduate.
"We want to honor my brother who passed away," said Gaby Armijo.
Armijo's older brother, Miguel Hernandez, died in a car accident in March. He was a member of the Corps of Cadets, and he died at only 19 years old.
"He was a nice guy and really sweet, and he did everything he can to come to this school," said Armijo.
Each person's name is read during the Muster roll call, then friends and family answer "here" to symbolize that fallen Aggies are still here in spirit.
"Even total strangers. It doesn't matter that I don't know anybody. it just matters that we're all here to pay our respects," said Stephenson.
Gaby Armijo is only 12 years old, but she wants to be an Aggie for her brother.
"That's why I want to come to this school. Because whatever he didn't finish, I want to finish it for him," said Armijo.
The largest ceremony is held on the Texas A&M campus, but Muster is celebrated in more than 300 places around the world.

MATLAB, Simulink, and related products enable rapid prototyping of communications systems through use of C and HDL code generation technology, enabling you to run your system as a cosimulation with embedded processors or FPGAs.
Estimate code footprint, FPGA power consumption, and design complexity of generated code early in your design process using products for embedded code generation and HDL code generation and verification. MathWorks products provide an integrated workflow in which you can use your original models and algorithms as a golden reference to verify code correctness and execution.
Cosimulate your generated code with third-party simulators and embedded software development environments. Using IDE link and EDA link products to connect MATLAB and Simulink to third-party products, you can cosimulate:

Theme of Conference:
Numerical relativity is still on the road towards reliable simulations of astrophysical scenarios such as binary black hole mergers, binary neutron star mergers, and supernova core collapse, and the mathematically intriguing problem of critical collapse of rotating systems. Key problems are achieving long-term stability of evolutions. In the last few years significant progress has been made in clarifying the underlying mathematical (continuum) problem, and various efforts are under way to transfer these insights to the numerical (discretised) problem.
The meeting will focus on two areas: mathematical aspect of the continuum and discrete problems (well-posedness, gauge, boundary conditions, discretisation methods), and simulations at the edge of what is currently possible.
Invited speakers and preliminary titles:
- Gioel Calabrese (Southampton): Finite difference approximations of first order in time, second order in space hyperbolic systems;
- Matthew Choptuik (Vancouver): Recent developments in black hole critical phenomena ;
- Joerg Frauendiener (Tuebingen): Evolutions with the conformal field equations;
- John Friedmann (Milwaukee): Self force on particles in a Kerr background;
- David Garfinkle (Oakland): Numerical simulations of gravitational singularities;
- Ian Hawke (Southampton): Gravitational waves from stellar collapse simulations;
- Heinz-Otto Kreiss (Stockholm): Boundary conditions for difference approximations of second order hyperbolic differential equations in general domains;
- Luis Lehner (Baton Rouge): Next steps in the simulation of Einstein equations;
- Frans Pretorius (Caltech: Simulations of binary black hole spacetimes;
- Oscar Reula (Cordoba): On touching grids and higher order methods on space-times with non-trivial topology;
- Olivier Sarbach (Caltech): Well-posed initial-boundary value problems in general relativity;
- John Stewart (Cambridge): to be announced
We discuss stability for finite difference approximations of Cauchy and quarter space problems for hyperbolic systems that are first order in time and second order in space, similar to those that appear in Numerical Relativity.
There are many methods to solve second order differential equations numerically. Methods based on variational principles have the advantage that the energy is conserved but they might not be as efficient as difference methods. Standard imbedded difference methods are very efficient but, for general domains, there is always the risk of instabilities. We will characterize these instabilities and discuss methods to avoid them.
Location and Cost:
The Conference will take place on the main campus of the University of Southampton and participants will be housed in Glen Eyre Hall, 10 minutes walk from the conference venue. The conference package, costing £180, comprises 3 nights accommodation in en-suite rooms, breakfast, buffet lunch, cafeteria style dinner and refreshments, from a buffet dinner on Wednesday 17 August 2005 to breakfast on Saturday 20 August 2005.

A shoreline businessman is hoping to open a new, upscale independent coffee shop in the Trolley Square Plaza in East Haven.
Richard Cordeiro, a Guilford resident, has submitted plans to the town's zoning office for the proposed new cafe, which he is hoping to move into the vacant 1,635-square-foot office space next door to the U.S. Post Office in the busy shopping center.
A rough sketch of the current floor plans is posted in the gallery.
"We basically want to have a place for people to come in, enjoy their coffee and spend some time," Cordeiro told East Haven Patch.
'Nothing Else Like This in East Haven'
Cordeiro, a native of Branford, said the shop would not only feature quality coffee drinks, but also a self-serve area for frozen yogurt.
The plans for the cafe include an area for outdoor seating, and state-of-the-art wireless internet access.
"And we'll also have iPads mounted into some of the counter tops," Cordeiro said, adding that the cafe would lean toward a focus on technology.
There would also most likely be some sort of discount for senior citizens who would chose to frequent the shop.
"There are no competitors really doing what we're looking to do," he said.
"I think it will end up being a very popular spot," he said. "There is nothing else like this in East Haven."
Leasing Talks: Stop & Shop Is Key
But first they have to secure the space.
Currently, Cordeiro and his business partner are in negotiations with Rhys Commercial Real Estate, the company that manages the plaza, for the rental agreement.
The shopping center itself is owned by Cb Commercial Prime Properties LLC, according to the latest listing on Manta.com.
Frank Biancur Jr, the town's new zoning officer, told East Haven Patch that while the proposed project would still be required to obtain the necessary approvals from the town, he feels the cafe would be a positive new business for East Haven.
And so, Cordeiro said the decision of whether or not plans for the cafe can move forward hinges on the current leasing negotiations — and whether or not also agrees to allow the coffee shop to open its doors as it's now planned.
Stop & Shop Approval
Cordeiro said the supermarket chain — by far the plaza's largest occupant — could object to the outdoor seating or the fact that the shop would be selling coffee. The supermarket has its own small coffee kiosk for customers inside the store.
"Stop & Shop has got to be OK with it, too," he said. "It's the only thing that we're contingent."
Still, Cordeiro said, things have been positive with the talks and for the project as a whole.
"So far, all the indications are that it's fine," he said.
'Perfect Opportunity'
Cordeiro said the negotiations will continue, and he hoped to have an update on the project's status next week.
"When we saw this space came up we jumped at it," told East Haven Patch.
"This is a perfect opportunity for the town of East Haven," he said.

Jon Stewart's Glorious Evisceration Of Anti-Weed Legalization Media Types Will Give Every Stoner A Boner
After a night of reminding us that we maybe kinda sorta haven't exactly BEAT GLOBAL WARMING, The Daily Show turned their sights to the other hot topic of 2014 thus far: legalized marijuana in Colorado.
Things started off innocuously enough with Jon Stewart doing a good times rundown of the new laws and the borderline entrapment that are Taco Bell drive-thrus, but things really heated up in the second segment (above) when Stewart shifted focus to all the inevitable Fox News fear-mongering currently taking place (message: "COLORADO JUST KILLED US ALL"). Bill O'Reilly for his part kicked off his segment on pot in Colorado by calling legalized marijuana "literally Russian Roulette."
I'll just let Jon Stewart take it from there. Parts 3 & 4 of The Daily Show's "Burn Notice" episode are embedded below, with special cameos by David Brooks and Joe Scarborough.
Here's part three…
And here's part four…

Acting on a request from both the Friends of the Boyce Ditto Public Library and the library's board, city council members voted unanimously to permit a smoking ban inside and outside of the building.
"As with all city buildings, smoking is prohibited within the library building proper," City Manager Lance Howerton explained. Council moved to amend the Mineral Wells Code of Ordinances to include outside areas at the library within the definition of "public places." The amendment allows a smoking ban to be enforceable on all library property.
Howerton said he was not aware of any library employees who smoke, explaining patrons have complained about fellow patrons smoking near the library entrance.
Texas Capital Fund applications resubmitted
A number of local businesses seeking a Texas Capital Fund grant for expansions had their applications resubmitted following council action taken Tuesday evening.
According to City Manager Lance Howerton, each company previously received council approval. When TCF did not select the applications in its initial funding round, each was rolled over to receive future consideration.
The projects presented Tuesday have been preliminarily selected for funding, though changes in the program require applications to be resubmitted to achieve compliance.
New applications for potential beneficiaries Watkins Metal Fabrications Inc. and Tru-Test Inc. are for the same amount as in the initial submission, Howerton explained.
Due to a funding cap placed on grants based on the number of jobs created, the resubmitted application for PECOFacet was readjusted to $120,000 for the facility and $35,000 for administrative costs.

Associated Press
— GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — Officials warned people to stay out of the surf along Alabama's coast Thursday because of dangerous conditions ahead of tropical storm Karen.
Safety workers hoisted double red flags at Gulf Shores because of treacherous rip currents, and they said conditions would only get worse as the storm approached the coast.
Alabama's two coastal counties and nearly the entire northern Gulf Coast were under a hurricane watch, and the forecast track showed the storm could come ashore in Alabama late Saturday or early Sunday.
Gov. Robert Bentley and Art Faulkner, director of the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, were consulting with weather forecasters and federal emergency officials about storm preparations.
"Now is the time to think ahead and prepare in case Karen directly impacts Alabama," Bentley said in a statement.
The storm could affect preparations for one of the largest fall events on the Alabama coast, the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores. Tents are supposed to begin going up over the weekend for the fair-like event, which begins Oct. 10.
The ferry linking the eastern and western sides of Mobile Bay said it wouldn't operate after Thursday because of Karen's approach. The shutdown will force motorists to drive more than an hour extra to cross the bay.
Forecasters said Karen could cause heavy rains and storm surge on the coast, but major damage isn't expected since the storm was likely to be below the minimum strength for a hurricane when it reaches the coast.

The national TV crime show America's Most Wanted (AMW) is covering the disappearance of missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar.
The show apparently aired a smaller segment on the LaMar case, but is now looking to do a more in-depth story after detectives announced in March that the Sobrato High teen may have been Kidnapped, a KRCA article states.
The show's mission is to track down fugitives, and has apparently helped recover "dozens of missing people," the show's producer, Jocelyn Sigue told KTVU.
AMW crews attended a search party for Sierra on Wednesday and spent that time to conduct more interviews for their followup coverage, which is expected to air on May 11 on the Lifetime Channel, NBC reports.
"We wanted to get it on as quickly as we learned about it so we did just do one short story, but we felt this was a story that warranted more attention. Especially since it has gone on for so long that this child has been missing," Sigue states in a NBC article.
AMW crews told KTVU that they'll conduct searches for Sierra, and that the plan is to stay within a 20 mile radius.
"If she's not within the 20 miles, we need all the support we can to keep everybody focused and to keep their eyes and ears open," Brian Miller, who is coordinating the search for Sierra, told KTVU.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is currently following . Personal items of Sierra's that were found a couple miles from the LaMar home shortly after the teen disappeared were sent to the crime lab for forensic testing in March and completed in April.
For previous coverage of the Sierra LaMar case, refer to the Sierra LaMar Disappearance: Comprehensive Updates and Information page.

Supreme Court says drug-sniffing dogs can't be used outside a home without permission or a warrantThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Tuesday that the use of a drug-sniffing dog outside a home is a "search" that must be supported by probable cause or a warrant.

The reasoning here went about how I expected, and I agree with it. Basically, the police took a drug dog up onto the porch, and in front of the door. They weren't there on a call, and the sole purpose of entering the curtilage of the house was to see if the dog would alert. Apparently, all they had prior to that was an anonymous tip. They then used the dog's alert to support a search warrant. The USSC held that entering the curtilage with the dog constituted a search. I really think Justice Alito was stretching things in his dissent to argue that it wasn't a search since they were on the commonly accepted access route.Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

*This week starts my new weekly blog where I will feature a "Band of the Week". This will let everyone know a little more about the local bands in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. Please support our local musicians!!!*
Introducing GOVERNING MURPHY...
Governing Murphy is an original rock band out of Bethlehem, Pa. After years of playing the cover band scene, Murph and Wally Govern decided to start writing their own music. After compiling several songs and recording them, their fan base wanted more. Murph and Wally wanted a drummer that could bring out the dynamics of their guitar driven music. So, after his split with a local cover band, Murph brought in hard hitting drummer, Bill Caufman. Realizing they were about to hit the music scene hard they needed a bassist to match so they found someone that was equally as crazy as the rest of them, Ringo Short.
Wally Govern III - guitar/lead vocals
Murph - Lead guitar
Ringo Short - Bass/vocals
Bill Caufman - percussion
Question 1: For those that have not had the chance to see Governing Murphy yet, what are three things you would tell them to entice/convince them to come to your show?
A. We sound like nobody else around.
B. We genuinely have fun and have a bond that everyone can be a part of.
C. We're entertaining to watch and our songs have a certain familiarity to them.
Question 2: What are three future goals/visions for Governing Murphy?
A. To get a good, quality product (cd) out very soon for our fans!!
B. To expand our fan base by playing more shows, larger shows and shows outside of our home area.
C. Platinum records, beautiful homes and arena shows.
You can find more on Governing Murphy through any one of these websites:
Here are a couple videos of them performing live:

NORMAN — Groundwater supplies nearly 40 percent of all water used in Oklahoma, according to John Harrington, director of Water Resources, Association of Central Oklahoma Governments, but people don't always know whether that water is drinkable before they drill.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has had many complaints of water well pollution over the past two decades in and near oilfields. The oilfields that most often create the problem are older fields with activity initiated before 1980, Harrington reported to the Norman City Council at its study session on Tuesday evening.
Nowadays, Oklahoma knows how to prevent saltwater problems associated with oil rigs and natural gas wells, but some old wells are impacting modern water wells.
"We are detecting this saltwater with electrical imaging techniques," Harrington said of identifying contamination of private water wells.
As many as 295,000 Oklahomans have private water wells and 73 percent of all agricultural irrigation comes from groundwater, Harrington reported.
Recently, a "fairly new gated community in Northwest Oklahoma City" had problems with salt contamination in private water wells, Harrington said.
When a domestic well is drilled, if the piping does not have enough casing to protect it, contamination can occur from oilfield salt water in the shale. That well can lead to cross contamination of the aquifer.
Harrington said requiring casing to run deeper could protect domestic water wells from contamination. Unused water wells should also be "drilled out and plugged to prevent the spread of more contaminants down into the aquifer," Harrington said.
In an effort to provide more information for well drillers, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission has been mapping old oil wells on Oklahoma Aquifers.
Additionally, water watchdogs want to require protective casing for a depth of at least 30 feet.
"We are making a proposal to the water resources board to amend the drilling standards," Harrington said.
A primary amendment would add the requirement for deeper casing for water wells.

Givers' "In Light" does not capture the exuberant magic that the band puts out live.
Ever since I met the founders of Clio at South by Southwest, I've been eagerly anticipating their product's impact on the music scene. Their idea automates and expands the Pandora music-matching process, making music discovery both more agile and more far-reaching. Their goal is every piece of music ever written, at your fingertips. I am so behind this idea.
Since SXSW, they've been making strides. Their first partner, music production library APM, was announced today. Filmmakers will be able to find music for their scores much easier, thanks to Clio's advanced matching system, which takes into account everything from tempo, instrumentation and melody to seemingly intangible elements like "the groove."
Greg Wilder and Alison Conard (the idea people behind Clio) are meeting with bigwigs of the consumer-facing music discovery products soon, hopefully bringing their technology to the masses, albeit invisibly. If Clio works properly, no one really knows it's there – listeners just somehow feel that the service they're using today is a ton better than it was yesterday at figuring out what they actually want to listen to.
I was sent some exclusive demos of the product that have me pretty stoked. The first demo used APM's music catalog; while it was really cool to hear rock seamlessly morph into bossa nova in just a few short steps, it was mainly a geek-out thing. I'm that guy who makes sure the beginning and endings of songs fade into each other on mixes, so matching internal rhythm to internal rhythm through genre is immensely appealing to me. The software recognizes so much information that you can make almost perfect-transition mixes, in addition to mixes that don't change moods one single inch.
The second set of demos was even more revealing, as it was a set of clips made by Clio that showed various popular songs being discovered via other pop songs. The set that started with Green Day's "When I Come Around" wasn't eye-popping on the surface (how hard is it to match up Blink-182 and Green Day?), but have you ever noticed how closely the guitar tone of "Always" resembles "When I Come Around"? Or of "Short Brown Hair" by Everclear? Then it's straight into "Favours for Favours" by The Futureheads, which I probably wouldn't have included in this list, but fits in perfectly, sound-wise and rhythm-wise.
That's the great thing about Clio: It doesn't care about demographics. Sure, Blink and Green Day sound similar and are in the same scene. But Futureheads are in a completely different scene, but sound similar. A teenage pop-punker could get turned on to indie rock via this list and connections across time and "scene."
Other playlists do the same for other genres, but here's the skinny: Clio works. Once a major player or two representing true independents (Bandcamp? Please please please please?) is funneled into Clio, there's literally nothing stopping U2 fans from hearing your music if your band sounds like U2. That is a major boon for independent bands and music lovers.
Stay tuned for more info from the Clio guys; it will be big stuff. Clio will change the way people discover music, and you may not even know that it's doing so.
There's little I can say to add to the conversation about our reigning Best in
Rock band
(though that'll change when next week's <i>Gazette</i> hits the
racks), except that the last two years, while being low-key in terms of
activity, have definitely preserved their live skill as players.
The Non are
experimental and progressive, sure, but you can count on them being consistent
in that progression, wherever and whenever they play. I still have yet to see
them play show that's anything less than thrilling.
But yeah, they did their usual instrumental ping-pong in space thing we all love so much. It was Zach Zeller's (pictured) second show of the night, and bassist Tom Bishop and guitarist Wil Norton flew in from Norman (Bishop's a certified pilot) and out in the same night, just to play. Gotta admire that determination.
Not sure what it's called but, the Norman/Tulsa punkers opened up with
something that had "gotta get — gotta get it" in the chorus, and it was catchy
as hell, but in a bouncy, rhythmic way. Very different from "Try Me Out
Sometime"'s melodic catchiness.
Nonetheless, Broncho remain catchy, grungy, unserious in demeanor (there's something kind of unsettling about watching three late-twenties/thirty-something dudes all droning in unison into their respective microphones, their eyes fixed upon something seemingly hours away), and hella loud. The crowd for their set was bigger than any in the Buffalo Lounge yet, and we'll see if anybody on tonight's bill (which includes Fiawna Forte, Green Corn Revival, Jacob Abello, Junebug Spade, JD McPherson, and OK Sweetheart) can step up and draw more.
So Cameron Neal (my latest local-rock man-crush) and his band of teenaged
ACM@UCO students (drummer Preston Greer was the only Horse Thief-er whose hands
lacked big, smeary X's inside Friends Bar last night) sounded even larger, more
looming and fierce than their Sooner Soundwave show in Norman last weekend,
which was my first experience hearing them in person. With all the pressure and
anticipation of the festival, I feel like they really raised the bar on local
performances at SXSW.
First off, Mr. Neal has this awesome old man authoritative rock voice that he
adopts for narrative purposes on songs like "The Magician." Most of Horse Thief's
topicality is mystical nonsense wrapped around nuggets of wisdom, so it's a
useful persona, and it gets really entertaining when he starts dumping sweat
and shaking it all out in his impressive beard.
But yeah, it was really nice to see — after The Boom Bang's raucous mess and The Non's cerebral movements — a throwback-style band that earnestly wants to rock, while also trying to innovate a bit (they've got a keyboard that generates an organ sound which distinguishes them from most any other local band I know of). Cody Fowler looks up into the sky when the song calls for his bass notes to wobble all over the place and Greer makes an O-face when he gets to punish the snares. And Danny Rose looks about as happy shredding his guitar apart as Kevin Durant looks when he hits a 24-foot-stepack three.
Also, it should be noted that two members of The Boom Bang got kicked out of Friends for being rowdy at some point during Horse Thief's set which is impressive, because there was only The Non's in between them.

|Bonner Nets Goal, But UNCW Falls, 2-1
BROOKLINE, Mass. - Colin Bonner netted his fifth goal of the season for UNCW, but the Seahawks were unable to overcome a three-point night by Northeastern's Don Anding as the Huskies edged the Seahawks, 2-1, in Colonial Athletic Association soccer action Saturday at Parsons Field.
The Huskies stayed atop the CAA standings with the win and improved to 11-1-2 overall and 6-0-1 in the league. It was NU's 10th straight outing without a loss, setting a new school record. The Seahawks dipped to 6-9-1 and 3-5.
Don Anding, the league's leading scorer, scored what would prove to be the winning goal and added an assist on the opening goal.
Leading 1-0 in the 78th minute, Anding beat UNCW goalkeeper Sam Williams with a chip shot off a pass from Ambry Moss.
Bonner, a freshman, brought the Seahawks to within 2-1 in the 81st minute when his shot was tucked inside the left post. Senior Etienne Boulanger was credited with an assist on the play.
The Huskies grabbed the early lead just 61 seconds into the contest when Donovan Fayd beat Williams for his fourth goal of the season. Anding and Dante Marini assisted on the early strike.
NU held a 13-9 advantage in shots.
The Seahawks next host Towson on Oct. 27 in the home season finale at 7 p.m. Both teams are fighting for one of six CAA tournament berths.

Vikings S Tyrell Johnson was arrested early Tuesday morning for suspicion of driving while impaired. According to Hennepin County records, he was picked up for fourth-degree driving while intoxicated.
State Patrol brought him to jail at 3:15 a.m., and Johnson was released about two hours later.
The Vikings say they are aware of the arrest but have yet to comment further.
Johnson dropped an interception late in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers that could have preserved a victory.

PERU — The Town of Peru recently received word that Lyons Street Schoolhouse has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The schoolhouse, which is located at the intersection of Lyons and Rock roads, served the children of that rural community from at least 1880 to 1938.
It was closed as Peru School District opened.
"According to the Beers Atlas of Clinton County, a building was here at this same location in 1869," said Ron Allen, who is co-historian for the town with his wife, Carol Allen.
"The National Historic Register is very fussy about documentation, and the earliest we could document the schoolhouse was in 1880. But when it was actually built, we're not sure."
The building served as the school for children within a 2-to-3-mile radius of the building.
It was one of 19 districts in the Town of Peru, though some of those also served students in neighboring towns, Mr. Allen said.
It is in remarkably good condition for a wooden building, he added.
"The national recognition makes this building eligible for future grants," Mr. Allen said.
"Placement on the National Register does protect the building, but we will be able to make renovations and restorations to help keep it protected."
The building had been owned by the Marion Dixon family since 1939, but the Dixons sold the property to the town for $1 in 2011.
The Dixons had used the building for storage and as a play area for their children. A basketball net still hangs on one wall, and an old pool table rests against an interior wall.
The Allens hope that future restorations of the building will include a display featuring old-time blackboards and antique student desks to remind people what life was like in a one-room schoolhouse.
"We'd like to have current schoolchildren come in and see what it was like for schoolchildren back then," Mr. Allen said.

AAJ Press Room
AAJ: Whistleblowers Essential Check on Corporate Fraud
AAJ supports provisions in Dodd-Frank Act that award and protect individuals who inform SEC of fraud
Washington, DC—Provisions in the new financial reform law to compensate and protect whistleblowers that inform the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of alleged corporate fraud should remain and be made stronger, according to comments submitted today by the American Association for Justice (AAJ).
The comments are in response to the SEC's Proposed Rules for Implementing the Whistleblower Provisions of Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, whistleblowers would be awarded a portion of the money the SEC recovers as a result of the information.
"Giving private citizens incentives to expose corporate fraud – and protection when they do so – is an important check on a system that has for too long let companies police themselves," AAJ President Gibson Vance said. "Instead of trying to kill this provision and stifle whistleblower information, corporations should instead be concerned with remaining compliant with securities laws and not committing financial fraud."
In its submitted comments, AAJ proposes the SEC further strengthen these provisions by reevaluating the standards whistleblowers are asked to meet. The current proposal requires proof that tips "significantly contributed" to the fraud resolution, and would disqualify those tips that SEC staff could have obtained "in the normal course of the investigation." The SEC should "reward any whistleblower providing assistance with original information leading to a successful enforcement or related action," AAJ's comments state.
For a copy of the comments, please contact Jamie Hammon: email@example.com.

Spent all day in the ER with my 4 yr old yesterday. His knee was swollen. They ruled out infection, and since there's no apparent injury we are going to the ortho Mon. Worried it could be something serious... like juvenile arthritis... And b/c he was refusing to walk, I carried him around all day and now my back is sore. Kiddo is almost back to normal. Workouts did not get done. Maybe tomorrow. Raining all day here anyhow.

My 11 year old son started having pain in his knees and legs 9/2012.
His bloodwork shows elevated ESR and CRP which I am told means he has inflammation and that it is chronic. It took several months to see a pediatric rhuematolagist. They took many xrays(all normal) of his knees, hips and lower back. The bloodwork still shows inflammation.
During the rhuematolagy appointment the doctor touched all of his joints. That is when I realized he also has pain when touched in his elbows and shoulders. The pain is in his joints and his muscles. The doc tells me it is not RA and it is not arthritis. The doctor also said he is supersensitive to touch in his joints and muscles. I asked the doctor if it might be FM. His answer was that there is no simple test for that and that if it is FM we are going to get him as ready as possible to handle that condition.
He is now going to physical therapy 2 times a week. For the pain he has taken ibuprofen then naproxen and now relefen(might be misspelled), none of them has helped. He is also taking 20mg elavil at night so that he can fall asleep in spite of the pain.
He is in pain at least part of every day. He has stopped complaining about the pain because then we give him a pill that does not help anyway. It is so terribly sad to see that your 11 year old has gotten used to pain being part of his life. This is unfornately now his new normal.
I am grieving for him but being careful not to show it. Some of the doctors appear to think that his problem is that he was sedentary. This is not the case. He is a scout that loves to camp and hike. He is a boy that loves to run and play. It is only the pain that has slowed him down.
I would appreciate any suggestions to make life easier for Zach. I would also appreciate suggestions for other diagnostic tests oralternative remedies ( I will check with his doctor first).
I am sorry this is such a long post, it has been inside me for many months, I just been in denial and angry. I still have hope that it might not be FM and that he will not always be in pain.
Soft hugs,
I'm sorry you and Zach are going through this. I have read that there is a discussion in the medical community whether FM exists in kids. Some say it's part of growth spurts, and wil resolve in the late teens. These kids are still in pain, and I'm glad your doc is taking his complaints seriously.
There are a lot of great links in the right-hand column. Also check out http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ . It has good tips for people in pain, and you have to check out The Spoon Theory - it will help Him explain to people what it's like to be in his body.
Have your doc check Zach for Vitamin D deficiency. Sounds simple, but we who live in the northern hemisphere are usually lacking in D.
Have the best day you both can possibly have,
Does your son drink sodas? If so, you need to encourage him to drink water instead. And make sure he watches what he eats as well.
As Lou told you have the doctor check his Vitamin D level which is important to a lot of people these days. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain in some people and it can also affect other illnesses as well. It is a simple blood test BUT you must ASK the doctor to run it...as it is not one of the *common* tests that they check you for.
You should do some research on the wrath of the dragon, aka FM....and try to figure out what he can do that just might help him cope better. It is a very mean and ugly illness to deal with and most people do NOT understand it at all. Heck, there are some days I do not even understand.
Does he take vitamins? If not, then you might want to encourage him to do so. And please remember that not all vitamins are the same. The same goes with medicine as well. We are all different and what works for one may or may not work for someone else. So continue to allow him to try different things until he finds something that will help him cope better. You should also make sure that he allows enough time for whatever he decides to try before making a decision as to whether or not it is working. (normally 6-8 weeks)
I do hope that you will check out the info here under *tips* and *resources* and be sure and read the member toolbox as well. There are some good *tools* that he might also try. Memory foam mattress, hot shower at night using lavender bath salts so that he can rest better. Remember getting enough sleep is really important for all of us and especially children.
Has he tried using a heating pad yet? Or perhaps some Stopain Spray on the places which will not ease easily.
He should also learn how to pace, pace and pace even more. I am sure this will be a hard one for him to do since children are so very active. But it is really important.
Take care and good luck.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
His posts though are still here so you might want to read some of them. You can click on the 674 Discussions (in blue) in the right hand corner of this page where you see his picture.
We all miss Dr. P.
Take care and good luck.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
In my heart I am terrified that he might have FM but my brain tells me to wait and see and hope for the best.
Soft hugs,
I am surprised that Dr P is no longer here. I guess you can tell that I have not been here in a while. Do we still have Caprice?
Soft hugs,
Neither Dr. P nor Caprice let anyone know here that they were leaving. I think though this is how companies do things like this these days. The less we know the better it goes is what they think, maybe. I really have no idea.
We, FMers, though are still here and I guess we will continue to be here until WebMD decides to get rid of the site. A lot of our members actually did not follow over from the old site and then some members left this site to go to FB. Not everyone though and we have had lots of people to pass through the *revolving door* here as well. Some join and stay a while and then disappear and then return when they decide to....maybe just to say hello or to stay a while longer.
There are some of us who are oldie goldies though and I guess we will continue to be here.
Take care.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
Soft hugs,

Hoping to cash in on the increased awareness and interest in financial and economic news, a group of search and social media marketers have launched Tip'd, a social community for the financial industry.
If you're familiar with digg, mixx, or sphinn, you'll understand how Tip'd works: Users submit and vote ("Tip It" or "Topple") on stories, leave comments, share interesting stories with friends, and so forth. Where Tip'd is unique is its focus specifically on financial content. Categories include Stocks, Green, Economy, and Real Estate, among others.
"Social news in the traditional format, like Digg, has too broad a focus to do justice to any specific niche," says Tip'd Community Director Muhammad Saleem. "Given the political and economic climate, and people's renewed interest in the finance sector as well as personal finance, we think now is the perfect time to launch Tip'd."

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader charged with murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, gave his first TV interview on Wednesday.
Zimmerman's first interview aired on Fox News Channel. Zimmerman sat down with Sean Hannity for about 90 minutes on Wednesday at an undisclosed Seminole County hotel. Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara was present during the interview and told WKMG-TV in Orlando it was "a decision made by George to get his story out."
In the interview, Zimmerman said he hadn't had time reflect on the incident until he was in jail in solitary confinement.
"I just think it's a tragic situation. I hope it's the most difficult thing I'll ever go through in my life," said Zimmerman.
Zimmerman said he hasn't been at his home since the night of the shooting.
Zimmerman said he became a neighborhood watchman after a neighbor was home during a break-in.
When asked why he carried a gun, Zimmerman said, "I carried it at all times except for when I went for work."
Zimmerman said he hadn't heard of Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law until after the shooting.
Zimmerman said he felt Martin was suspicious because he was walking leisurely in the rain and was cutting in-between houses.
Zimmerman said that when Martin reached for his waistband, he believed the teen was trying to intimidate him.
"The way he was coming back and, I was on the phone, but was certain I could see him saying something to me. His demeanor, his body language was confrontational," said Zimmerman.
Zimmerman said Martin wasn't running, despite telling the 911 dispatcher that he was.
Zimmerman said he used the word "punks" during the 911 call.
When asked about the portion of the 911 call where a dispatcher asked Zimmerman whether he was following Martin, Zimmerman denied following the teen.
"I meant that I was going in the same direction of him to keep an eye on him to tell police where he was going," said Zimmerman.
Zimmerman said after he stopped following Martin, he saw him less than 30 seconds later. Zimmerman said he was never further than 100 feet from his car.
"He asked me what my problem was... I immediately went to grab my phone... and when I reached into my pants pocket, it wasn't there. I looked up and he punched me and broke my nose," said Zimmerman, adding that he forgot he had put his phone in his jacket pocket. "I don't remember if I went immediately to the ground or he pushed me to the ground, but I ended up on the ground."
Zimmerman said Martin then began slamming his head into the sidewalk. Zimmerman said after Martin punched him the first time, he yelled for help. Zimmerman said Martin punched him more than a dozen times.
Zimmerman said during the struggle, Martin was cursing at him and said, "You're going to die tonight."
Zimmerman said after he made his way to the grass, Martin tried to suffocate him by putting his hand over his mouth and nose. Zimmerman said the voice screaming in a neighbor's 911 tape was his.
