Revert to 4.2 SDK while waiting for a resolution. You can find the download from previous posts.
Tried reverting to 4.2 but I got rejected, it did not generate a crash log for apple but crashed, and was rejected still,
@Zaba, I would assume that your app failed for some other reason (null variable references, most commonly). Because I bet many devs have submitted apps compiled with SDK 4.2 + XCode 3.2.5. Make sure you are using the Xcode that comes with SDK 4.2, as described by mantasp.
This is a very frustrating problem, but I'm happy to come across this thread. Like other posters, I've tested and tested on multiple generations of iPhones/Pads/Pods and things run great, but Apple rejects it as detailed in the crash log below.
Maybe I'm just lacking expertise, but the stack trace information in the crash log may as well be in Greek :) At any rate, this would be much less frustrating if it were reproducible on my end.
For now, I'm going to try the recommended workaround of downloading XCode 3.2.5/SDK 4.2, set 4.2 as the target, rebuild and resubmit.

I also contacted Apple Developer Technical Support about this problem, namely the fact that I can't reproduce the crashes on any of my test devices. Here's Apple's advice:
Apple is aware of this issue and is still investigating it. It's not yet clear exactly what is causing the problem, but it seems to be related to:
(1) static armv6 libraries
(2) iOS SDK 4.3
(3) App Store submission
I can't recommend any other work-arounds, but as you said, several developers have had success using the Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS SDK 4.2 <https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/ios/ios_sdk_4.2__final/xcode_3.2.5_and_ios_sdk_4.2_final.dmg>
One thing you could do is file a bug at <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/>. You might want to mention that it is a probably duplicate of rdar://problem/9231829. This will let engineering know that more people are running into the issue. It will also make it easier for you to track the status of the problem.
> Failing that, is there any difference in the way the review team tests
> and installs that would explain these inconsistencies?
I am not aware of any differences in App Review's test environment that could be causing this issue.
The problem may be related to code-signing or the "ingestion" of the binary to the App Store. Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to simulate that on your end.
Normally what I recommend in these cases is to use Xcode 4's "Archive" feature. You can test an archived build by "Share…"-ing an ad-hoc signing with yourself; and finally submit *that exact same build* through the Organizer window. This rules out many issues related to the Debug or Release configurations being different in some way.
Unfortunately, the developers I've worked with have been unable to reproduce the crash by doing this.
If you are building with Xcode 3.2.5 and the iOS 4.2 SDK, you might want to triple-check that migrating your build-settings worked, and the app you submitted was actually built with the 4.2 SDK. To do this, find the "Info.plist" file inside your app bundle inside the Xcode archive, and check the value for the "DTSDKName" key (Developer Tools SDK Name) is "iphoneos4.2".

Confirmed that resubmitting the App with 4.2 and XCode 3.2.5 worked and the app was approved.
Can those who had approve apps specify if they used universial builds or not (arm6 + 7) as this may be a major contributing cause.

We submitted this originally as an Arm7 only then our second submission we submitted as a arm6+arm7 when we built under SDK 4.2.
My app was built with 4.2 & Xcode 3.2.5, arm6+arm7, accepted two days ago.
After one month (!!!) of research I came across this forum (thanks to the help of an Apple Engineer) and after had my app rejected thousand of times, finally I used XCode 3.2.5 and the app in Distribution build has been accepted.
Now I have to use XCode 4 (of course technology moves on and we have to do the same), so my question is:
How far is the next version of Unity3D that fix this problem and its compatible with XCode 4?
The problem relay in the FMOD. Al the crash logs points there.

How come Unity has not sent a notice to all of us that have an iPhone license?
Don't get me wrong, I love using Unity and I think the company is doing a wonderful job with their software. But as a paying customer, I would have like to have been told that there was a known issue that causes Unity to fail on submission for iOS 4.3.

It would be nice to have a Unity official communication about this.
I didnt check in the forums because I thought that the problem was on XCode side, means my fault!!!!!
Which it wasn't!
I'm guessing everyone else just got the e-mail... it just showed up in my inbox. Hope this is resolved before I want to ship... I took the Xcode 4 plunge and don't want to have to go back.How come Unity has not sent a notice to all of us that have an iPhone license?

4 of our new apps have been waiting for 1 month or more, because of the Unity doesn't solve the compatibility with iOS 4.3.
This delay it's a big loss for all of developers. Wasted time in spinning market.
It'll be correct at least if Unity says a date when this problem will be solved.

This is what I wore on Saturday evening to meet up with a fellow Boston Blogger, Katrina, from the blog Sparkle is a Color (click that link!). We first met, and hit it off, at the Boston Blogger meet & greet a few weeks back and had made plans to make plans (which, as you may have deduced, we did).
Our get-together started with a drink at Fire & Ice where we caught up and talked about blogging, our shared love of
We then made our way to LA Burdick Chocolate in Harvard Square where we indulged in "the best" hot chocolate and macaroons ("the best" in quotations because when I ordered a "hot chocolate" the friendly cashier asked me "which one?" and I, caught off guard not having anticipated this question, answered "the best" which he laughed at and said he would recommend getting a half-white/half-dark one…which I did... and it was nothing short of amazing, Katrina said it was probably the closest one could get to drinking pure melted chocolate… without doing just that).
I had a such a blast catching up with Katrina, we found that we have so much in common, including our shared secret life plans to just win the lottery one day (yes, just like that), our Olivia Palermo girl crush, and our never ending "lust list" making habit (and that stubborn Rebecca Minkoff mini mac that keeps reappearing on said lists). Needless to say, I cannot wait to meet up again! We have tentative plans to go see Titanic when it comes out in 3D (cheesy? Nah) which may, or may not, include going back to LA Burdick, stocking up on macaroons, and sneaking them into the theatre when we do. #justsayin'…
On another note, Happy Leap Year!!!!! Any leap year babies out there?

For Immediate Release: October 22, 2008
Contact: Bill Walsh: 651-296-7531
Newspaper ad solicits AIG customers who may be "nervous" about their insurance company.
(St. Paul, MN) - The Minnesota Department of Commerce announced today it has taken action against a Duluth insurance agent and agency for creating and publishing a newspaper advertisement that solicits business from current policyholders of American International Group (AIG) insurance companies by questioning the financial health of their parent company, AIG. The department has repeatedly affirmed the financial solvency of AIG's insurance companies, despite the troubles associated with the parent company.
Gregory Brisky, a licensed insurance agent working for the Dwight Swanstrom Company of Duluth agreed to pay a $2,000 fine for placing the advertisement. The Swanstrom agency agreed to a $3,000 fine.
The Department alleged that Brisky and the Swanstrom agency did not take any action to verify the financial condition of any specific AIG insurance company before placing the advertisement and attempted to induce AIG policyholders to replace their insurance. It is against Minnesota law to make any misleading representation as to the financial condition of any insurer.
"These enforcement actions give us another opportunity to assure Minnesota consumers that AIG's insurance companies, regulated by the states, are solvent and financially strong," said Glenn Wilson, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. "If someone tells you to replace any policy because an AIG insurance company is in trouble and may not be able to pay your claim, that is not only untrue, it could be against the law, and we will take action like we did today."
The Commerce Department also said it is investigating several other potential violations of the law relating to the misrepresentation of insurance and annuity products because of the turbulent economic times.

Questions About My Faculty Advisor
How do I know who my faculty advisor is? You can check to see who you've been assigned as your faculty advisor through Talon. Alternatively, you can stop by the department and ask the program assistant.
When am I supposed to meet with my faculty advisor? You should meet with your faculty advisor before you register for courses each semester. Although you receive your SNAP in your student email account, you should still see your advisor each semester to make sure you meet prerequisites and take courses in the proper sequence.
Questions About Transferring Courses to UW-La Crosse
If I'm transferring from another university with some general education courses, will these satisfy some of my general education requirements at UW La Crosse? You should make an appointment with the department chair and bring a copy of the syllabus from the other university. If the course is similar to the one taught at UWL, the general education course from another university can usually be transferred. You can also check out the UW Transfer Information System to get a good idea of how courses will transfer.
If I'm transferring with a sociology/archaeology/anthropology/criminal justice course from another university, will this course satisfy the Department requirement at UW La Crosse? You should make an appointment with the department chair and bring a copy of the syllabus from the other university. If the course is similar to the one taught in the department at UWL, the course from another university can usually be transferred as the equivalent SOC/ARC/ANT course.
Questions About Declaring the Pre-Major in Archaeological Studies and Major in Sociology
What are the requirements for declaring the pre-ARC major? To register as a pre-major in Archaeological Studies, you must first declare your intention by filling out a form at the College of Liberal Studies office. If the available slots for the pre-major/major are filled, priority is assigned on the date you submitted the form, so the sooner you declare the major the better.
Prior to the application for the major, the following archaeology courses must be completed with a minimum GPA of 3.00: ARC 195, ARC 200, and two additional 200- or 300-level archaeology courses. These courses will apply toward the major after acceptance into the program. Additionally, students must have completed at least 32 total credits with a minimum GPA of 2.50 for all university work and then complete the Archaeological Studies Major application form in order to become an Archaeological Studies Major. Admittance to the program may be limited and competitive. Prior to satisfying the requirements, students pursuing the Archaeological Studies Major will be designated as Pre-ARC majors.
How do I go about declaring a major in Sociology? In order to declare a sociology major, you must complete a major declaration form in the College of Liberal Studies Office. Students declaring sociology as a major should take SOC 110 as soon as possible, since it is a pre-requisite for most of the other sociology major requirements. Once you have declared, you will also be able to register for some classes that are restricted to majors/minors only.
Questions About Minors in Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice
How do I declare a minor in SOC/ANT/CJ? In order to declare a minor in any of these programs, you need to go to College of Liberal Studies Office and complete a "change of minor" form. There are no minimum requirements for declaring a minor in any of these three programs. See the following links for more information on declaring a minor in sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice.
Questions About Registration/Overrides for Classes
What if the class I want is filled? Can I get an override? Each instructor in the department handles overrides differently. Some instructors keep waiting lists, others give preference to majors and/or seniors, while others ask you to come the first day of class. Your best bet is to contact the instructor of the course directly to determine the appropriate method for obtaining an override.
How do I register for classes that require permission? Some courses, such as SOC 409, SOC 410, SOC 450, ANT/ARC 479, and ANT/ARC 499 require instructor consent and you cannot register for those courses online. If you are interested in a course that requires permission, you can pick up forms and instructions in the department office or talk to a faculty member about the process.
Questions About Course Grade Appeals
A student who strongly feels his or her semester grade in a course taught by the department is demonstrably improper or that the grading was prejudicial or capricious, should first confer promptly with the instructor[s] of the course.
If the student and the instructor[s] are unable to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution, the student may appeal the case, within one month after the start of the next semester, according to the following procedure:
The student will submit a written statement to the department Chairperson, setting forth his/her reasons for seeking an appeal and presenting any supporting evidence he/she may have. The Chair will then give a copy of this grade grievance to the instructor who is the object of this complaint. The Chair will request that the instructor make a written reply to these allegations. The student's written grievance along with the instructor's written reply to that grievance will then be forwarded to the grade Appeals Committee after it has been constituted.
The Chairperson will then appoint a three-member ad hoc Appeals Committee to review this appeal. The members of this committee will be randomly selected from the Department excluding the instructor[s] teaching the course in which the appeal has been made.
This committee will meet to review the student's appeal within one week of its selection. If the committee feels that further review is warranted it is strongly encouraged to meet with the student and, if necessary, to also meet separately with the instructor.
A written decision will be sent to the student by the Appeals Committee. Reasons for the decision will be included in this letter.
1. The decision of the Appeals Committee is
held to be advisory.
2. The Appeals Committee may report a faculty member who has failed to comply with its recommendation to the full faculty and request a review.
3. Any faculty member who feels that her/his Appeals Committee has made an unfounded or biased decision may make such a charge before the full faculty. In the event of such a charge the committee in question will be required to defend its recommendation before the full faculty. The department as a whole will then make its recommendation.
4. A student may appeal either an Appeals Committee decision or an instructor's refusal to abide by the Committee decision to the full department, should he/she elect to do so. In such an eventuality the Department may elect to hold the hearing in a closed session at its discretion. The student will be invited to present his/her case before the department at the department's discretion. Any review must be based solely upon material supplied by the student to the original Appeals Committee.
5. The decision of the faculty of the Department of Sociology/ Archaeology will constitute the final level of grade appeals within the Departmental jurisdiction. This decision, not unlike the decision of the Appeals Committee, is also held to be advisory to the faculty member whose grade is being appealed.
Questions About Internships
Can I earn department credits while doing an internship? Yes. The requirements for obtaining an internship for credit are that you must be a junior with at least a 2.50 overall GPA (3.00 for ARC 450). All internship courses in the department are pass/fail grading. SOC 450 is repeatable for up to 15 credits, but only 6 count toward a sociology major and 3 toward a minor. SOC 200 is a pre-requisite for SOC 450. SOC 451 is open to Criminal Justice minors as a 3 credit course. SOC 324 is a prerequisite for SOC 451. ANT 450 is repeatable for up to 15 credits, but only 6 count toward a sociology major and 3 toward an sociology or anthropology minor. ARC 450 is repeatable for up to 15 credits, but only 3 count toward an archaeology major.
How do I register for an Internship in Sociology or Archaeology? Students who are interested in taking an internship are encouraged to discuss internship possibilities with their instructors, advisors, and seek out opportunities through the Office of Career Services.

Reporting Aside
By Amy Calder firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
5 Libby Court, Waterville.
South End Teen Center kids prepare a meal at the Waterville facility on Tuesday. From left are Matt Anderson, Chris Chute and Destiny Petit.

Anyone who hasn't visited that address ought to.
It's the South End Teen Center, where kids ages 12 to 18 go after school and where they are welcomed with open arms by people who are like family.
The three-story building is sort of like a house, too, with a living room, lounge, game room, computer room and kitchen.
And everywhere, the personality of teens is evident -- in the bright purple living room with silver stars painted on the walls, to a staircase peppered with framed photos of former teen center members, smiling in their high school graduation caps and gowns.
Here, teens come to socialize after school.
They do homework, use computers, play games, read, watch TV or talk with friends and staff, acting just as might if they were at home. They also learn about making good decisions.
During the summer, they gather here to take trips to the ocean, water parks, lakes and other fun and interesting places.
"It's kind of like a second home," said Matt Anderson, 16.
A Waterville Senior High School junior, Anderson rode the bus to the center on a recent afternoon, popped into director Steve Soule's office to say hello to him and staff member Dan Pierce, then climbed the stairs to the kitchen to make macaroni and cheese.
"I moved here from Portland a year and a half ago," Anderson said. "This is one of the first places I found out about. I met a lot of cool people. It's a safe place you can go to."
Nick Bragg, 15, agreed. He said he plays basketball outside the center, even in winter. He also likes the Teen Stars program, which rewards members with pizza, gift cards and other prizes if they do good things like attend school regularly, get their homework done, do chores around the center and help people in the community.
"I've raked and swept at a nursing home. I've planted. I've cleaned up the skate park. I've cleaned the park down at the boat landing. I've repaired kids' bikes," Bragg said. "I've gotten the pizza three times."
Bragg said he wants to be a welder when he graduates from high school; Anderson wants to be a graphic designer or architect.
They both are athletes and plan to play with police and firefighters March 7 as part of the Battle of the Badges basketball game to benefit the teen center. Tickets cost $4 for the 7 p.m. game at the Alfond Center on North Street.
They also encourage people to help the teen center get a $5,000 grant from Bangor Savings Bank, which chose it as a Community Matters recipient. The bank is giving the center $1,000 but will increase that amount by $4,000 if it receives the largest number of votes online. To vote, go to www.bangor.com/cmm
The teen center, a unit of the Alfond Youth Center, operates on about $130,000 a year, according to Michele Prince, community initiatives director for Kennebec Valley Community Action Program, which oversees the center.
It survives on grants, as well as funds from United Way of Mid-Maine and sources such as People's United Community Foundation, Mid-State Machine Foundation and Bangor Savings Bank Foundation, according to Prince.
Funding the center is a challenge, especially with cuts being made to all sorts of programs.
"We have to be out there, looking for funding, every year," she said.
While the teen center is neat and orderly, it is old and a bit worn. The tile floors in the kitchen and game room need replacing and a local church has offered to replace one of them.

A Cloth-Diapering MUST HAVE!
Pros: Bye, Bye Messy Diapers!
Cons: We've got an older toilet, so we've got some leaking issues...
Absolutely LOVE the BG Diaper Sprayer! So nice to not have to "swish" the diaper in the toilet to get it clean... and I'm picky about how much "mess" is left on my diapers too... NEVER thought I could love a product so much!!!!
We do have slight leak issues (temporarily fixed with some Plumbers Putty) but it's due to an older toilet and set-up... hoping to get new connections and have the problem fixed! :)

Get an in-depth look at Phil Collen's guitars and the songs they appear on for the album 'VIVA! Hysteria' HERE and read Phil's descriptions of the guitars below!
Jackson Soloist 'Crackle Jack'
You can hear this guitar on the intro lick of the original recording and re-record of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'. You can see it in the videos for 'Women' and 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' (both versions of 'Sugar'). I got it in '85. It has a DiMarzio Super3 humbucker on the bridge, a Jackson sustainer combined with a DiMarzio fast track pickup on the neck position. It has an Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson Soloist 'Crackle Jack'
I used this for the first half of the song then when it gets all cosmic I switched out to…
Jackson PC1 'London 57'
My guitar tech Scotty Appleton secretly had this guitar made for my 50th birthday but I actually didn't receive it until I was 51. It has my town and year of birth on it. It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge, a DiMarzio hs2 in the center pickup, and a Jackson sustainer in the neck position. It also has the Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo. You can hear this guitar on Manraze's 'Fire' on the punkfunkrootsrock album.
Jackson PC1 London '57'
Jackson Custom 'Pearl Jackson aka Jack'
This guitar has been around the block. It's had the neck changed a few times. It's kind of like a PC1/Strat hybrid. It has DiMarzio cruiser pickups on the bridge and middle pickups, a Jackson sustainer on the neck pickup, and an Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson Soloist 'Crackle Jack'
Jackson PC1 'Rootbeer'
You may have seen this guitar on a few of the Def Leppard tours. It has a gorgeous maple top that kind of looks like a tiger. All of these PC1's have mahogany bodies. I busted the neck on this once before so this is a much fatter replacement neck. It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge, a DiMarzio hs2 in the center pickup, and a Jackson sustainer in the neck position. It also has the Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson PC Supreme 'Maya'
I wanted a different sounding and different looking guitar so I gave Pablo Santana, a master guitar builder, who works at Jackson a photo of about 5 different guitars. I told him that I wanted something that looked like all of the guitars but not like any of them. Although it sounded a bit vague two weeks later Pablo asked me if I had a minute because he had something to show me. He created the first PC Supreme prototype. You may have seen it. It's electric blue and I've played it with Manraze a few times on the Alice Cooper tour in 2009 and on the Def Leppard 2011 tour of England. All of my guitars have names. It makes it easier for when we're on tour. This one got her name by a 'fan vote' on facebook. Maya won. The name was inspired by a Mayan pendant I was given at the pyramids just outside Mexico City and subsequently the carving on the first fret. This guitar has a massive neck. It's a neck through guitar whereas all of my PC1's have bolt on necks. It's made of koa wood with a maple top and maple finger board. It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge pickup, a combination Jackson sustainer, DiMarzio hs2 on the neck pickup, and an Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo. This is my favorite guitar.
*If you were at the shows in Vegas you may have seen me play a gorgeous red bodied guitar with the fattest neck Jackson has ever made hence the name 'Red Neck'. Sometimes I played this instead of Maya. I also played 'Red Neck' in the Ded Flatbird set. However, in the film, I'm playing 'Maya'. I substituted one for the other certain nights.
Jackson 30th Anniversary PC1 'Splatter'
When Fender/Jackson's Mike Kotzen (artist relations) asked me if I could do anything for Jackson's 30th anniversary this ended up being the result. I hand splashed 30 guitars and then wrote my name in white ink in Japanese on each guitar. I numbered all the guitars 1-30 in Japanese numerical symbols on the back. Since I'm colorblind everyone initially thought my color choices were a bit weird. Turns out everything worked out great. This is one of two that I kept for myself. The two that I have are not actually a part of the 30. You can hear this guitar on Manraze's 'Over My Dead Body' rhythm guitars.
There's a DiMarzio Super3 humbucker on the bridge pickup, a Jackson sustainer as the neck pickup, and an Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson PC1 'Soul-Ah'
'Love and Affection' was to be the eighth single off the Hysteria album but it never happened. Ironically, 26 years later the live 'Viva Hysteria' version is burning up the airwaves cracking the top five on Classic rock radio. The original guitar I used for most of the Hysteria album was my trusty customized Fender Strat called 'Felix'. That guitar is on display at the Fender Museum in Corona, Ca. The guitar on the live version of 'Viva Hysteria' is my Jackson 'Soul-Ah'. This guitar was without a doubt my favorite guitar until the neck was broken on tour. It has since been replaced with a much fatter neck but has lost some of its soul. Thank fully Jackson's Pablo Santana fixed the original neck and it sits in my living room awaiting its rightful place with its partner. You can hear this guitar on the solo of 'Kings of The World' (Def Leppard/Mirrorball). . It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge, a DiMarzio hs2 in the center pickup, and a Jackson sustainer in the neck position. It also has the Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson PC1 Natural 'Big Boy'
This guitar is a classic PC1. There are many pictures of me playing one of the four I own that look like this. This was latest incarnation. It has a very fat neck hence the title 'Big Boy'. This particular guitar hasn't made it onto records however the other three have ie, the Yeah! Album and Manraze's punkfunkrootsrock album. It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge, a DiMarzio hs2 in the center pickup, and a Jackson sustainer in the neck position. It also has the Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson Custom PC1 'Dread'
This was the main guitar for the Ded Flatbird set. It's pretty over the top. Underneath it's a PC1 but with a 50 hour, glow in the dark paint job done by Johnny Rez. The guitar artwork is loosely based on the Predator and I had the classic Jackson headstock reversed just to make it different from my other guitars. It has a DiMarzio Super3 on the bridge and a Jackson sustainer in the neck position. It also has the Adam Reiver titanium loaded Floyd Rose tremolo

MANRAZE, the London-based rock band formed Phil Collen, along with punk rock forerunner Paul Cook (Sex Pistols) on drums and Simon Laffy, rockin' bass player of Collen's former glam-band, Girl, will release their new EP, I Surrender, on November 12th.
I Surrender will be comprised of three songs, including the title track, which features background vocals by Debbi Blackwell-Cook, who also appears on "All I Wanna Do", a newly-recorded version of the song which first appeared on the trio's 2011 sophomore album punkfunkrootsrock. The final track is "Connected-Live from Shepherd's Bush", a live studio performance from a studio podcast session, not previously released.
The first single, "I Surrender", was nearly forgotten about, explains Collen, "The song is 8 years old. It practically never got finished. I was on tour last year and started singing the chorus. Early this year, I re-did the guitars to Paul's original demo drums. I did a vocal and Simon played new bass-lines. Ger McDonnell then did a brilliant edit and mix on what we gave him. Debbi Blackwell-Cook supplied the wailing outro-vocals that you hear at the end of the song. We feel this is our best song yet."

These players won't be on any roto-team's top nine, but they will look good in that 10, 11 or 12 slot up front, or the five and six slot on the blue line. In perusing all the players that are 27 percent owned (or lower) in Yahoo!, some interesting names crop up. Here are the ones for you to consider for the stretch run…
First, the "shame on you" section. Steve Sullivan, Tim Connolly, Tom Gilbert and Andy McDonald are owned in less than a third of all Yahoo! leagues. It's clear that the Sullivan of old is back, which makes him a top center. Twelve points and a plus-8 in his last nine games. Shame on you for not picking him up! Defenseman Gilbert has 11 points in his last 12 contests – shame on you! Connolly may get hurt a lot, but if you can easily switch him back out of your lineup there is absolutely no reason why he should not be on your roster. He has been healthy for the last 26 games, or haven't you noticed? Shame on you! McDonald was hurt, but now he is back and hasn't missed a beat – still a point per game. Shame on you!
Now let's get to the 10 guys you should grab now for what they offer you down the stretch. They may be "depth" guys, but they'll probably out-produce some of your so-called stars. A lot of players are classified as centermen – but that should not stop you from snagging them. In fact, when you are in that situation, deal one of your "big name" pivots for a good winger, and then replace him with a centerman I have listed here. You won't lose out in that position, yet you will improve on the wing.
Without further ado:
10. Claude Giroux, Philadelphia. Now that Daniel Briere is out again, Giroux will get back to what he was doing prior to Briere's return. Projection down the stretch: 15 points in 18 games, even, 10 PIMs, 38 shots.
9. Ryan Kesler, Vancouver. The streaky Kesler is now regularly logging over 20 minutes per contest and at worst he'll still give you steady numbers in the other categories. Projection down the stretch: 15 points in 18 games, plus-4, 14 PIMs, 55 shots.
8. Sean Bergenheim, N.Y. Islanders. Lots of opportunity on the Island for him now and he has always had the ability in multitude of categories. Projection down the stretch: 15 points in 17 games, even, 18 PIMs, 56 shots.
7. Patrice Bergeron, Boston. Excuse him for taking a few months to get rolling, after missing most of last season. But the Bergeron of old is back with nine points in last 10 games. Projection down the stretch: 15 points in 16 games, plus-5, 4 PIMs, 49 shots.
6. Maxim Afinogenov, Buffalo. He has two points in two games since the deadline and is back to his old self. Granted, he could be back in the doghouse, but if not you know what he is capable of. Projection down the stretch: 14 points in 17 games, minus-1, 10 PIMs, 51 shots.
5. Stephen Weiss, Florida. He has 40 points in his last 46 games. The 25-year-old has finally arrived. Projection down the stretch: 16 points in his last 16 games, plus-5, 8 PIMs, 47 shots.
4. Antoine Vermette, Columbus. A new team and new possibilities. Vermette was turning his season around, but now he is entrenched in the top six. Projection down the stretch: 16 points in 16 games, plus-3, 12 PIMs, 49 shots.
3. Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay. Everyone was grabbing this guy in September when they shouldn't have. Nobody is grabbing him now, when they should. The future star has 10 points in his last 10 games and seeing first-line ice time. Projection down the stretch: 17 points in 16 games, minus-1, 8 PIMs, 47 shots.
2. Tuomo Ruutu, Carolina. It's hard to imagine that he is in just 15% of all Yahoo! pools, with 15 points in his last 14 games and coming off a five-point game. His PIMs are low because Carolina has given up the least power-plays, so it's a team system. Still, he puts up his share. Projection down the stretch: 14 points in 15 games, plus-2, 14 PIMs and 58 shots.
1. Steve Ott, Dallas. Looks like a lot of Yahoo! managers still haven't heard the latest – Steve Ott is a fantasy stud. He has 24 points in his last 23 games, with 45 PIMs and is a plus-9 in that span. Seriously – trade your "Joe Thornton" type of player right now for a Daniel Alfredsson type of winger and pick up Ott. You will win out in both positions. Projection down the stretch: 17 points in 17 games, plus-4, 40 PIMs and 38 shots.
Honorable mentions: Matt Lombardi, Phoenix; Ales Kotalik, Edmonton; Eric Fehr, Washington, Michal Frolik, Florida; R.J. Umberger, Columbus; Matt Stajan, Toronto, Andrew Ebbett, Anaheim.

Previous reports have indicated high complication rates associated with non-fusion surgery in patients with early-onset scoliosis. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic complications associated with growing-rod treatment.
Data from the multicenter Growing Spine Study Group database were evaluated. Inclusion criteria were growing-rod treatment for early-onset scoliosis and a minimum of two years of follow-up. Patients were divided into treatment groups according to rod type (single or dual) and rod location (subcutaneous or submuscular). Complications were categorized as wound, implant, alignment, and general (surgical or medical). Surgical procedures were classified as planned and unplanned.
Between 1987 and 2005, 140 patients met the inclusion criteria and underwent a total of 897 growing-rod procedures. The mean age at the initial surgery was six years, and the mean duration of follow-up was five years. Eighty-one (58%) of the 140 patients had a minimum of one complication. Nineteen (27%) of the seventy-one patients with a single rod had unplanned procedures because of implant complications, compared with seven (10%) of the sixty-nine patients with dual rods (p = 0.05). Thirteen (26%) of the fifty-one patients with subcutaneous rod placement had wound complications compared with nine of the eighty-eight patients (10%) with submuscular rod placement (p = 0.05). The patients with subcutaneous dual rods had more wound complications, more prominent implants, and more unplanned surgical procedures than did those with submuscular dual rods (p = 0.05). The risk of complications occurring during the treatment period decreased by 13% for each year of increased patient age at the initiation of treatment. The complication risk increased by 24% for each additional surgical procedure performed.
Regardless of treatment modality, the management of early-onset scoliosis is prolonged; therefore, complications are frequent and should be expected. Complications can be reduced by delaying initial implantation of the growing rods if possible, using dual rods, and limiting the number of lengthening procedures. Submuscular placement reduces wound and implant-prominence complications and reduces the number of unplanned operations.
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Distribution of the etiologies of the early-onset scoliosis in this series of patients treated with growing rods.
Kaplan-Meier analysis of total complications showed a linear decrease in complication-free rates for each surgical procedure performed. At six surgical procedures, the complication-free rate was approximately 70%, indicating that 70% of the patients did not have a complication after six surgical procedures. At approximately fifteen surgical procedures, the complication-free rate was zero, indicating that 100% of the patients treated with fifteen surgical procedures had a complication.
The authors appreciate Mr. Dickson's extensive experience in treating early onset scoliosis (EOS) and thank Mr. Dickson for the insightful comments. We agree that the etiology of EOS in our reported patient population was heterogeneous, and likely reflects the diverse practices of the contributing surgeons. This is one potential benefit of our multi-center study, as a broad range of patients were able to be evaluated, permitting analysis of a population that might not have been otherwise captured in a single institution. Accordingly, the authors were able to evaluate the applicability of growing rod procedures to a variety of conditions associated with EOS, and reported that EOS etiology did not significantly impact complication rates.
As Mr. Dickson has indicated, because of the potential negative impact of EOS upon pulmonary development, early diagnosis is critical. We also agree that surgical treatment should be delayed as long as possible, as we demonstrated that the risk for complications increased by 13% for each year of increased patient age at the initiation of treatment and the complication risk increased by 24% for each additional surgical procedure performed. However, Mr. Dickson indicates that "the problem with posterior surgery alone is that the front of the spine still carries on growing" and that "anterior growth ablation is fundamental." The risk of continued anterior vertebral growth and associated crank-shaft phenomenon is a potential problem following spinal arthrodesis among young patients, however treating physicians and parents of patients being treated for EOS must be fully cognizant that growing rod treatment is a temporizing measure aimed at preserving axial skeleton growth thereby allowing thoracic and pulmonary development while simultaneously attempting to control curve progression, and should not be misinterpreted as a definitive treatment modality. Therefore as treating physicians, we repeatedly need to communicate to parents that management of EOS requires prolonged treatment. Although early data exists on patients that have "graduated" from growing rod to definitive treatment, more data is needed to further identify effective treatment strategies for EOS patients that have matured and reached the end of their growth sparing treatment period (1).
Again, the authors thank Mr. Dickson for his insight and appreciate his generosity in sharing his experience in treating EOS as we hope to further the science for treating this challenging condition.

S.: Growing Rod Graduates: Lessons From 58 Patients Who Have Completed Their Lengthenings. In Scoliosis Research Society: 45th Annual Meeting and Combined Course. Edited, Kyoto, Japan, 2010.
To the Editor:
Having considerable experience of early onset scoliosis and its treatment, I was interested to read the article entitled, "Complications of Growing-Rod Treatment for Early-Onset Scoliosis: Analysis of One Hundred and Forty Patient" by Bess et al. in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (Am) (2010;92:2533-43). This distinguished group quite rightly point out that early onset scoliosis can be a dangerous condition particularly for idiopathic thoracic curves which can be very progressive. I note that there are a number of different underlying diagnoses, 52 being neuromuscular, 40 idiopathic and 24 congenital. These are unusual demographics, in contrast to the UK where we have a much higher prevalence rate of early onset idiopathic scoliosis (E.O.I.S.) In Mehta's group in London (1) and the Leeds Group (2) virtually all were of the idiopathic variety. The worst cases of E.O.I.S. in terms of progression have a particularly early onset, within a matter of a few months from birth, and with a very serious progression potential.
Although the pulmonary alveolar tree can reduplicate until the age of 7 much of development occurs early on. It is interference with development in the first year or two of life that is the real danger. Davies and Reid likened the post-mortem lung appearances to those encountered in congenital diaphragmatic hernias where from before birth abdominal contents have squashed the developing lung (3). Hence treatment for early onset idiopathic scoliosis is vital from the moment of diagnosis although that in itself can be the source of disappointing delay (4). An Elongation Derotation Flexion (EDF) cast (5) must be applied and the Leeds Group has treated as many if not more than Mehta's Group in London with comparable success rates.
For those that do not respond to cast treatment, the blatantly progressive ones, then surgical treatment is the only option. Delay in presentation may explain the average age of surgical treatment in this series was all of 6 years of age, somewhat beyond the cut off point between E.O.I.S. and scoliosis of late onset (6,7). I also note that while the average curve size was 75 degrees at surgery there was a maximum of 147 which is unfortunately too late to be really operable. Of course it is very difficult not to offer some form of treatment to the family of these terrible cases.
Unfortunately at least 10% of those cases treated conservatively will not respond (1,2) and so the Leeds Group have an experience of more than 50 cases of very early onset idiopathic scoliosis that have required operative intervention. When Harrington introduced his subcutaneous rod technique (8) this really was the first time that curves could be managed operatively throughout growth but it is critical that this programme should be started as early as possible. Pulmonary function tests in this study would have been of interest.
The problem with posterior surgery alone is that the front of the spine still carries on growing which is indeed the ultimate problem in structural scoliosis (9). For the particularly early progressive cases it is very important to go anteriorly in a first stage to eliminate anterior spinal growth before a second stage growing rod. It may seem a daunting task but anterior growth ablation is fundamental. This cannot be done by antero-convex hemi-epiphysiodesis as Roaf's long-term follow-up clearly showed (10). It does help a simple problem such as a hemi-vertebra but not with three-dimensional structural deformities. Removal of the apical growth plates has no great effect on longitudinal spinal growth as vertebrae are half adult size at the age of 2 and not far short of full adult size at the age of 10 (11,12), albeit with the bony nucleus surrounded by sizeable cartilaginous model. The deformity will not be adequately controlled by posterior surgery alone with the thoracic spine finishing up very much more deformed and appreciably shorter.
It is also important to remember the growth velocity curve (13). The infantile growth spurt flattens out early on and remains flat until the adolescent growth spurt. That is why EDF casting is not continued much beyond the age of 3 because it is during this vital rapid growth period that control of the curve is crucial (1). Once the growth velocity flattens out then if casting has been successful the cast is removed because no significant curve progression would be anticipated until towards adolescence, several years later. Therefore surgery after the age of 5 can be delayed until a few years later although of course growth velocity and curve progression must be serially monitored.
The authors also note that operating at a young age does increase complications but it is vitally important that surgery should be started as soon as the curve has shown significant progression potential, whether casted, as in the UK, or not. It is also suggested in this paper that casting can hinder chest wall development but that certainly is not either Mehta's or my experience, with suitable windows cut out of the cast appropriately, and frequent cast changing with growth.
The authors also suggest that in younger patients the curves may display greater flexibility but in point of fact that is exactly the opposite to what the situation is. When Mehta published one of her early papers on this subject the most important clinical factor concerning progression potential was curve rigidity (14). If the infant is suspended or, better still, put in the lateral decubitus position over the examiner's knee with the convex side downward and the curve seems to correct well then this portends to a more benign prognosis with cast treatment likely be successful. The rigid curve notwithstanding should still undergo cast treatment as early as possible.
The authors also differentiate between subcutaneous and submuscular metalwork. Having operated on so many infantile idiopathic progressive cases and reoperated them on an average of about 8 times, then one does build up a considerable experience of this procedure. I and my team do neither a subcutaneous or a submuscular rod placement but, rather, intramuscular so it does not have the disadvantage of being superficial nor the disadvantage of being subperiosteal.
All in all early onset scoliosis is a very problematical condition and I am pleased that these leading authorities have once again drawn the world's attention to it.

"Judy," he said, while introducing her to everyone.
Now how can you not love a lighthearted soul, who saves his intensity for the court and believes anyone as lucky as he is to be paid playing a game, should smile all the time?
Enough already with the stuffed legends, the ex-Lakers prattling on and on about how things should be done just like they did them.
"You want a guy to be more focused," Horry said of Howard. "That's the kind of guy you want, someone who's focused, not fun-loving."
The Lakers already have that in Kobe Bryant.
But later this from Shaq at halftime on TNT about Howard: "Robert Horry is absolutely correct."
Who are they watching?
Howard is a surgically repaired work in progress, but he's beginning to become a force again. He doesn't return from back surgery as fast as he has if he's only clowning around.
And he doesn't dominate if his teammates don't get him the ball, re: the second half against the Heat in a nine-point defeat.
Shaq was as big a kid as Howard at times and knows all about not getting the ball. And though Shaq maintained on TNT he was a tough so-and-so on the court, a smile doesn't diminish the intensity that Howard is trying to bring to the court while still recovering from back surgery.
Howard threw his body at the Heat Thursday night. He was a lot more active than Shaq was on many nights, and he took a beating.
He had the Lakers ahead by a point at the half on the strength of 10 points and eight rebounds, buying time for Kobe, who would go three for 16 through three quarters.
Kobe went nuts in the fourth quarter while Howard seemed to disappear. Howard also failed to make his free throws in the end, but it wasn't because he was listening to Rihanna sing "Diamonds" before the game or asking his imaginary girlfriend to follow him so he might save her from Vic the Brick.
Howard, like an enthusiastic Matt Kemp trying to pump up his teammates before Doodger games, has lightened the mood around here.
When was the last time it looked like the Lakers were enjoying themselves?
Before the Milwaukee game Howard told a male reporter he looked like he was seven months along, and before the Cleveland game he argued basketball players were tougher than professional football players.
As "unfocused" as he might have seemed, he averaged 26.5 points and 15 rebounds in those two games.
"That's just me," he said about living life with a smile on his face. "That's what we did in high school, and we rarely lost. We'd have our quiet time, and I still do, but in the back away from everyone."
Some of those former Lakers who have become hypercritical might consider cracking a smile. What next? Kareem dropping his arm and covering his eyes on the statue outside Staples Center?
After Magic blasted the Lakers in tweets, then praised them in two defeats, he went on TV at halftime with Oklahoma City winning big, and said, "It's over for my Lakers — no playoffs, no nothing."
And then I wrote: "What happens if the Lakers beat Cleveland and then Milwaukee? Does Magic tweet the Lakers are back?"
A few hours before playing Miami, Magic tweeted: "Lakers Nation: I feel the @Lakers will definitely make the playoffs and cause some other problems for teams!"
Now that they have lost to Miami, I wonder if they are a "no-nothing" again.
Come on, shouldn't these ex-Lakers understand better than everyone it takes time to play together and there is still a half season to play?
How can you knock a team that is 2-1 since Mike D'Antoni restarted the season?
Just trying to put a smile on your faces.
I THINK it's pretty clear now based on the Manti Te'o story that any time an athlete talks about the loss of a grandparent or parent and how it motivated them to become successful, they are going to have to produce a death certificate.
SOME FOLKS feel the media didn't do their job in fact-checking the Te'o story.
But I think about the uproar when I challenged UCLA football Coach Jim Mora. I asked him about holding back against Stanford knowing it was meaningless game, which of course he did.
ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit suggested I was "pathetic."
What would Herbstreit have said had I interviewed the Notre Dame linebacker and expressed skepticism that both his grandmother and girlfriend had died at almost the same time?
What if I had pressed for details about where the girlfriend had died, where he was sending flowers and how often he had seen her?
SO FAR the truth remains elusive, but it would seem Te'o is either a liar or a pathetic young man who might need help.
Ask yourself as a parent, if your son is the big man on campus, finding love online three years ago but left devastated when the woman he's never met has died, wouldn't you be concerned about the emotional stability of your child?
I KNOW this, things are finally looking up for Lane Kiffin. There were conflicting reports about trouble in the Trojans' locker room after a Sun Bowl loss.
But instead of the story picking up steam it gets lost in all the Lance Armstrong and Te'o hubbub.
I'm just surprised that no one has suggested so far that Kiffin was the mastermind behind the girlfriend hoax.

Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 Description
Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.
The storyline of Modern Warfare 2 picks up where the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare left off. The ultranationalist Russian leader Zakhaev has been eliminated, but it seems that his lieutenant, Vladimir Makarov, is an even bigger danger. Having made a successful play for power, Intel indicates that he is extending the reach of his influence well beyond the borders of Mother Russia, causing a stir in the international community and prompting the involvement of Task Force 141. Task Force 141 is an elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign you are Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, with the hero of Call of Duty 4, "Soap" MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight occurs.
The latest release in arguably the most successful tactical first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 follows the same winning and time-tested structure of earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of missions aimed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces. Each mission is built around a particular objective, with players utilizing some level of guidance from NPC characters, including "Soap" MacTavish, and aided in navigation by the game's heads up display (HUD). Along the way players will be able to utilize a wide variety of weaponry and and vehicles, as well as be able to customize weapons with gadgets attached to them.
Also, just as in previous games in the series, Modern Warfare 2 is heavily focused on multiplayer gameplay. The different multiplayer modes, available both in local play and online, contain plenty of customization options and revolve around different strategies ranging from the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy," just to name a few. Multiplayer modes also feature the "Perk" System that players may be familiar with from earlier in the franchise. Through this system players gain additional abilities, weapons and benefits as they gain experience in combat. This can be done by leveling up, but another important way way is through "kill streaks," the number of enemies eliminated in succession. These are available beginning with three kills and include the ability to call for supply drops, predator missile strikes, helicopter gunships and many more. Players have the ability to customize in advance which perks will be available at each number and can even gauge their progress towards each at the touch of a button. With an eye towards not making the game too hard for new players the game also features help to players experiencing "death streaks," multiple consecutive deaths in multiplayer matches.
Special Ops Co-op Mode
Along with a single player mode and multiple multiplayer modes, Modern Warfare 2 also features an unique third main play option, Special Ops Mode. Available both online and in local play, Special Ops Mode is designed to provide a distinct time-based play option, featuring special scenarios not found in other modes in the game and lots of enemies to take on. This mode can be played either alone or with a friend, again either locally or online, with local co-op play including split-screen functionality.
Key Game Features
- Challenging Multiplayer Modes ?Modern Warfare 2 will contain a wealth of multiplayer modes including: the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy."
- Improved AI Enemies ?Improved artificial intelligence now allows enemies to attack from virtually any direction as players respawn into the game adding additional challenges.
- An All-new Call of Duty Adventure - Modern Warfare 2 features an all new Call of Duty storyline revolving around the continuing struggles against the Russian rebel group the Ultranationalists, who have found a new and more dangerous leader.
- The 'Special Ops' Optional Co-op Mode ?"Special Ops" Mode allows two players, either alone or with a friend, to engage in unique mission play and features split-screen functionality.
- Diverse In-game Environments - Battlegrounds traversed in the game range from the lonely, snow-clad mountains of Kazakhstan, to dark tunnels in the Afghanistan and the crowded slums of Rio.
- Nonstop Action - Modern Warfare 2 contains no cutscenes, so players are always engaged in the action, no matter where they are in the game.
- New Breach Gameplay Mechanic - Players can now blaze their own paths through the game by "Breaching" formerly impregnable obstacles like walls and doors with explosives.
- New Gadgets, Weapons and Weapons System Modern Warfare 2 contains many new and updated weapons, new weapons attachments, as well as a variant of the multiplayer weapons customization system from Call of Duty 4, now available in the single player campaign.
- New Perks and Increased Customization - Multiplayer modes feature new perks for leveling up, and for killstreaks and deathstreaks. Those awarded for streaks can customized in advance according to when they become available.

Great world war II game! I like Review by Danny
Price Service Quality
This is a great world war II game. Is challenging, fun and exciting. The only bombshell is that multiplayer online isnt so good. It is more of an individual self reliance with no strategy on team play. (Posted on 11/19/10)
Unralistic number of enemies Review by Jason

I know this is a game but too many enemies. Good graphics, opening video and senario but I do not like Rambo style shooting (1 guy fighting against 1000 bad guys) (Posted on 11/15/10)
Really fun game! Review by Jack
Price Service Quality
I have been playing Call of Duty since the first one. I only ever play it on PC and I mainly play Multiplayer as well. I honestly dont understand how people can stand FPS games on console, but thats another topic. There are obvious mistakes that they made developing this game. The single player was fun, but short.

People tend to think that if you play in one of the hardest and heaviest heavy metal bands of all time you must only listen to music that sounds similar to your own. However, most great musicians will tell you they draw inspiration from a wide variety of influences across the musical spectrum, regardless of genre. Such is the case with Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. He first came to prominence playing with skate punks Suicidal Tendencies, then played funk metal in the spinoff group Infectious Grooves before landing a gig with Ozzy Osbourne and eventually taking over the 4-string in the biggest heavy metal band in the world. And his greatest influence is a jazz fusion bassist who is best known for his guest apperences on other artists' albums and only released two proper solo albums before his tragic death at the age of 35.

12 Artists Who Died During A Performance
"Dying onstage" is usually just a crass expression among entertainers meaning a rough gig. But for an unlucky few, the phrase prove tragically true. Some of music's great ones have passed on while in the middle of performing for an audience. In a sense it's a fitting way to go -doing what you love in front of an adoring crowd. But still, their loss fills music lovers with grief to this very day.

Nirvana Reunite At Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Surprise Club Set In Brooklyn!
Joan Jett fronting Nirvana for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was one of the worst kept secrets in rock n' roll but it turned out to be a red herring.

Stevie Nicks, Questlove and Tom Morello Weigh In On The KISS Hall Of Fame Controversy
By now the KISS Army are aware that the band's induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame was marred by some serious infighting. The dispute centered around founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley's desire to perform with band-mates past and present, including current drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer. The Hall of Fame were only honoring the original line-up that included Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, and wanted to limit the new member's involvement. The whole matter gets complicated (our experts have broken it down here in great detail) but in the end, the band did not end up performing during the ceremony. It's sad that the disagreements got in the way of the music, and some of rock's luminaries took the time to weigh in on the whole ordeal!

Okay guys been a while since I have posted...work is a killer these days..lol.
Anyway I moved on from Tiger 10.4.11 after getting the system running flawlessly (thanks to all the help for you all and Infinitemac) I decided I needed a bit more of a challenge and acquired a copy of iATKOS 10.5.5 and installed it using the modified 9.2 Kernel (9.5 Fassl and Voodoo kernels panicked at start up) and everything loaded just fine. One problem is enabling QE/CI on my X1650 Pro AGP card. I have fussed around on the net and a few other forums trying just about every combination you can think of and got resolutions working but still no Quartz or core.
Anyone have any suggestions or know of a installer package for this bugger? Would be much appreciated.
Thanks again!:D

Local Folk Trio Wintergreen in Free Outdoor Concert July 22 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
July 11, 2008
The folk trio Wintergreen will perform on Tuesday, July 22, as part of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's free outdoor concert series held at 6 pm on Tuesday evenings in July. Concerts are held on Clark's expansive south lawn (picnics, blankets, and lawn chairs encouraged). The Clark's Cafe will sell barbeque fare and the galleries will remain open until 6 pm on concert evenings. In the event of rain, concerts will be held in the auditorium. Concert admission is free.
Wintergreen, made up of Alice and Larry Spatz and Jared Polens, performs a mixture of traditional and contemporary music from the British Isles and America, along with their own compositions. Their programs feature instrumentals based on dance tunes, intricate three-part vocal harmonies and a wide variety of folk instruments. Family concerts include many sing-alongs. Wintergreen has appeared at the Troy Music Hall, WNYT-TV Albany (NBC), Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY, and has performed several concerts in Germany. The group has completed three recordings, Pass It On Down, Potluck, and Old Songs and New.
Alice and Larry Spatz perform throughout the Northeast, appearing on television, radio, at folk festivals, in concert and at clubs, schools and colleges. Active folk musicians since the 1960s, they have performed internationally and recorded several albums and tapes as soloists and with other performers. They may play as many as eight instruments during a performance, including double bass, autoharp, psaltery, guitar, mountain dulcimer, recorder, banjo, and percussion. As members of the folk trio October Mountain, along with Anson Olds, they appeared monthly on a live radio show broadcast on WAMC, "The Northeast Folk Festival." Alice has recorded as a vocalist and bassist with Cindy Mangsen and Bernice Lewis.
Polens plays hammer dulcimer solo and with others throughout the Northeast. He was a member of the contradance band, Southwind, and also sings with the a capella vocal quartet Northern Spy which has opened for Maura O'Connell and Tom Paxton.

The remaining concert in the series will feature Dan Daniels and Your No Good Buddies on July 29. Williamstown Savings Bank is the media sponsor for the concert series.
On view in the Clark's main galleries through October 19 is Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly. This exhibition features forty beautiful paintings by American artists who obscured their brush strokes creating paintings that, like the mist of breath's condensation on a pane of glass, appear on the canvas without evidence of the artist's hand.The exhibition Homer and Sargent from the Clark celebrates the opening of Stone Hill Center by highlighting twelve of the Clark's masterpieces by Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August).

Revered as guardians of the mariachi legacy, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan presents a festive repertoire of rhythms, dance, and vocals for an exciting evening of pageantry and musical virtuosity.
