While the district attorney works to figure out if a controversial photo reveals a crime, Beggs basketball player, Doolee Wolf prepares for the big game.
"We need to stay focused and that's their deal to worry about, and we just need to go through our game plan and be successful," says Wolf.
Doolee says he heard about the photo on the news and even his own coach had words with team about Facebook.
"He said be smart about what you do, because everything comes back to reflect negative or positive on you," says Wolf.
The photo has reflected negatively on Caisen Green. The teen has garnered worldwide attention and angered many for what appears to some people as animal abuse.
"It's just a bad decision that he made, and very unfortunate for him," says Beggs Athletic Director Justin Norman.
Because of recent death threats against Caisen extra security measures are being taken to protect the students of both schools.
"We worked hand-in-hand with the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah to provide four marshals on their staff, and we are going to provide our own security along with our own police department," says Norman.
Caisen's attorney tells FOX23 he is nearly a straight A student and a good kid who was simply defending his family and his property.
FOX23 spoke with the district attorney in this case and he says so far he hasn't made a decision whether or not to file charges against Caisen. He is still reviewing all of the information.
The Cherokee Nation sent us this statement in regards to the extra security for Friday's game:
"Sequoyah routinely stages school resource officers at events both at and away from our school. The safety of our students, their families and any fans has always been, and will always be, of the utmost importance. Appropriate measures are always taken to ensure everyone's well-being."

Brother Blake Young brought the message from Hebrews, chapter 11. Faith is essential in our walk with God. Our faith gives us the assurance in His promises to us. Many people put their faith in other people, and have found that it leads to disappointment and disillusionment. When we put all our faith in trust in God, we can withstand any trial we encounter. The more faith we have, the less fear we have. Faith allows us to do God's will without hesitation. We are saved by grace through faith; we cannot sincerely seek God without having faith. How is your faith today? Do you fully trust God, or do you try and go at it on your own? It's time to examine yourself and see how your faith is holding.
Please pray for: Larry Kimbrell, Robert and Gladys Baughn, Mildred Skinner, Jamie Benefield, Alex Cash, Linda Sue Noles, Jennifer Hulsey, our church, its members, and anyone else that you feel the need to pray for.
We invite you to visit with us at Verdon Chapel.

Sounds like the facilities are brand new and could be even better. How many Big 12 teams do the media talking heads say Cinn. was ranked higher than in 2011.2010, 2009? From a fan to a fan, good luck. I had a good salad/ sandwich in the east subs of Cinn. last week (Blue M.). A close friend of mine is a professor there. I attended a coaching convention there a long time ago, still have some fun stories from that trip, enjoyed the city a lot.
In an effort to stave off total annihilation in 2011, the eight remaining Big 12 schools decided to grant the league office their media rights for a six-year period. Such a move meant that if a school left the league, the Big 12 would still own that institution's media rights… making it virtually impossible for any school to bolt.
Yesterday, it was reported that the rumored $2.6 billion television deals with ESPN and Fox first acknowledged in March are indeed good to go. While still unsigned, the Big 12′s presidents — there are now 10, by the way — have agreed verbally to those contracts. More importantly, the league has also agreed to extend the league's grant of rights for an additional seven years.
The takeaway: The Big 12 looked safe for at least six years before yesterday. When these new pacts are signed and the grant of rights extended, it will look safe for 13 years. That's big.
Last week, the league announced the hire of new commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Armed with a new, rich set of TV deals and 13 years worth of safety net, his next mission will be to grow the conference. Doing so should now be easier.
Despite wild rumors that Florida State and Clemson officials are holding super-secret talks with the Big 12 conference, we continue to believe it's far, far more likely that Louisville will be the first school to move. While the Big 12 is starting to get steady on its feet again — after losing major brands like Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas A&M the past couple of summers — the Big East is wobbling like the top at the end of "Inception." (Yeah, it wobbled.)
Just as Bowlsby was brought in to fix the Big 12, Big East commissioner John Marinatto was given the heave-ho by — it's believed — a bloc of presidents from his league's non-football schools. Louisville is an all-sports Big East school. Reportedly, Cardinal officials weren't thrilled with yesterday's power play by the league's old guard.
Additionally, political ties between Kentucky senator Mitch McConnell and Oklahoma president (and former senator) David Boren almost landed Louisville in the Big 12 last fall, at West Virginia's expense. So some amount of groundwork has already been laid for Louisville to join the Big 12 at some point.
Adding U of L would bring the league back up to 11 members. Even though Big 12 power brokers have said publicly that they don't feel there's a need to hold a Big 12 Championship Game in football, you can be sure the money such a game would generate is indeed viewed as a need privately. So who would become school #12, allowing the league to hold a title game?
The obvious target is Notre Dame. Texas AD DeLoss Dodds has told everyone who'll listen that he and Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick might just be able to swing a deal to bring the Irish to the Midwestern league. Maybe, maybe not. Notre Dame won't move unless it believes its options as an independent have run out. And even then, it's more likely the administration in South Bend would rather partner academically and financially with the more academically-respected schools of the Big Ten or even the ACC.
For that reason, we think Cincinnati is a much more likely fallback option for the Big 12. As we showed here, the Big 12 is currently a five-state league that produces very few NFL-caliber players from within its own geographic footprint. Expanding into Ohio and the Kentuckiana region would help on that front. Such moves would also give the Big 12 broader television appeal, even better basketball, and some much more natural rivals for new member West Virginia.
But the bottom line is this — The Big 12 is stronger today and the Big East is weaker. That should make it easier for the Big 12 to raid the Big East for two more schools (Louisville or Cincinnati or Notre Dame) and get back to, you know, actually having 12 schools to matchup with its name and logo.
UPDATE — Judging from comments elsewhere on the site and emails received by yours truly, I thought it might be wise to clarify what it is exactly that makes the Big 12 more stable today than yesterday. So for those still not clear on what was written above, it's not the big money contracts that the Big 12 has lined up with Fox and ESPN that secure its future. Schools have been coming and going from leagues despite previous enormous TV deals. Those are good pacts for the Big 12, no doubt, but what actually makes the league more stable is the extension of the grant of rights. That act binds those schools together in a much tighter way. If a school now leaves the Big 12, the league still owns that school's media rights for 13 years. That is what has made the Big 12 more stable, not the mondo TV contracts. Now, you could also argue that some leagues — like the SEC — don't have to go that route (or even have exit fees, for that matter). But that doesn't change the fact that the extension of the grant of rights is a big step forward for a league that had been moving backward for the previous two offseasons.

Other Health Professions
Important: Even if you have already decided upon a career path, it is important that you become familiar with the roles different healthcare professionals fulfill, their training and educational backgrounds, and the services they provide, since you will likely encounter them during whatever health career you choose to pursue.
A Variety Of Health Career Options...
The Health Professions and Prelaw Center invites you to use the resources on this page to learn about the many ways you could build a fulfilling career in the health professions, and make a difference through your work in healthcare.
People tend to be most familiar with the roles of doctors and nurses, because these two professions are ingrained in our popular culture, and because people often interact with these particular healthcare professionals more frequently than others. Fewer people are familiar with the work of the cytotechnologist, the respiratory therapist, the health information administrator, and the dozens, if not hundreds, of other types of professionals who provide vital services, and are essential members of the healthcare team. Health career areas include a wide range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and administrative services, some of which emphasize laboratory science, others of which emphasize direct patient care, and still others of which involve entirely different skill sets and career interests. For instance, many - though not all - health fields require very strong science abilities, just as those fields which involve direct patient care require highly developed interpersonal skills. We strongly encourage you to complete the self-assesment questionnaire, linked from the next section, and to carefully consider your own personality, interests, abilities, and aptitudes as you make your career decisions.
"Allied health professions"
As you explore your options, you may encounter the term "allied health professions," which is sometimes used as a subcategory of health professions in general. Allied health professionals perform diagnostic procedures, provide therapeutic services, and other patient care as part of a team of caregivers. Click HERE for a more thorough description of the term "allied health."
Assess Your Interests, Aptitudes, And Preferences (self-assessment questionnaire)
The Health Professions and Prelaw Center has developed a self-assessment questionnaire to help you more clearly identify and evaluate your aptitudes, your areas of interest, and what has drawn your attention to these areas. If you are a prehealth professions student, or still in the process of exploring different health fields, we strongly suggest you complete the questionnaire and bring it to a session with your academic advisor. Click HERE to open the survey in your word processing program.
Different Kinds Of Training For Different Professions
The kind and length of training required for professional practice in a given health field varies dramatically from one field to another:
- Non-Degree Certificates: length of training typically varies from several weeks to several months, depending on the program. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) are probably the most well known types of certificate training programs.
- Associate of Science degree (AS)*: typically, a 2-year degree, usually including admission prerequisites.
- Bachelor of Science degree (BS)*: typically, a 4-year degree, including admission prerequisites. For example, a 4-year nursing degree commonly includes 1 year of admission prerequisites and general education courses and 3 years of professional training and clinicals; whereas a BS in Respiratory Therapy might include 2 years of prerequisites and 2 years of professional courses and clinicals.
- Master's degree (abbreviation depends on the area; for example, MSOT for Master of Science in Occupational Therapy, or MSW for Master of Social Work): generally, a 2-year graduate degree following a bachelor's degree. Some master's degrees require summer coursework, and others do not. Other such programs take longer; for example, the typical physician assistant program is 27 months, including work during each summer.
- Doctoral degree (abbreviation depends on the area; for example, DPT for Doctor of Physical Therapy, or DO for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine): length of training varies. For example, the DPT degree requires 3 years of training, while medical school is 4 years, plus an additional 3 - 6 years to complete residency and fellowship.
IUB students may complete the requirements for admission to most such programs on the Bloomington campus, and then apply for admission to the professional program itself. Be aware that admission to most health professions programs is competitive, sometimes extremely so; therefore, you will need to be diligent and systematic throughout your preprofessional process as you strive to gain admission.
In addition to completing coursework, clinical observation ("shadowing") and other professional development activities are crucial to the process of selecting and pursuing any career path. To learn what kinds of experiences are most important for admission to your programs of interest, consult the HPPLC page for your area.
* Training for some fields - for example, nursing, respiratory therapy, radiation therapy, health information administration, and others - can be garnered through either an AS or a BS degree. In most cases, someone who has earned the AS will take the exact same certification exam as someone with the BS degree. How much of a difference in pay or job opportunity there is between the AS and BS depends on many factors, including the particular health field, and the job market within a given geographical region.
GPA And Target GPA Calculators
Having clear, realistic GPA information is especially important for preprofessional students, who are usually pursuing admission to programs with moderately or highly competitive admissions. For examples of some useful GPA calculators, click HERE.
Choosing A Preprofessional Undergraduate Degree/Major
If you are thinking of pursuing a graduate-level health professions program, note that most require you to complete a bachelor's degree - either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS) - prior to beginning your professional coursework. The resources on the HPPLC Exploring Majors, Minors, and Certificates page can help you with the following:
- quickly and efficiently narrow your areas of interest with regard to your undergraduate degree / major
- serve as a starting point for identifying non-health-related undergraduate majors of interest, if you feel you'd like or need a back-up plan
- identify undergraduate minors and certificates which could add breadth to your degree
Explore Health Professions
There are literally hundreds of healthcare or healthcare-related professions. We encourage you to use the resources below to research your interests as you undertake the process of making decisions about your career, and your choice of health professions programs.
- Assess your health field interests, aptitudes, and preferences by completing the HPPLC self-assessment questionnaire.
- The Health Professions Descriptions handout Includes descriptions of dozens of professional health programs, as well as other health-related degrees and majors (PDF contains hyperlinks - if you receive a security caution, select OK or Allow).
- ExploreHealthCareers.org is another good place to begin researching health fields.

IRVINE, Calif. — Hundreds of tips prompted by a $1 million reward poured in to authorities seeking help finding the most wanted man in America, an ex-Los Angeles police officer who was charged Monday with murdering a Riverside policeman.

An undated photo released by the Los Angeles Police Department shows 33-year-old Christopher Dorner. On Sunday, the fourth day of a search for Dorner, police announced a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture.
The Associated Press
With thousands of officers around Southern California searching for Christopher Dorner, prosecutors in Riverside announced charges for last week's killing. Dorner also was charged with attempted murder for wounding another officer and firing at two others, Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach said.
Authorities obtained a no-bail arrest warrant, which allows Dorner to be apprehended anywhere, Zellerbach said.
The manhunt for Dorner, 33, began last Wednesday when he was named the suspect in the Orange County murders of a former Los Angeles police captain's daughter and her fiance the previous weekend. Hours after police announced they were looking for him, Dorner first fired at two LAPD officers, then ambushed the Riverside officers.
"By both his words and conduct, he has made very clear to us that every law enforcement officer in Southern California is in danger of being shot and killed," Zellerbach said at a news conference that was guarded by four officers armed with rifles.
Police say Dorner wrote a lengthy manifesto that was posted to Facebook after the double murder. He vowed deadly revenge on those in the LAPD responsible for his firing years earlier, and their families. Police now are providing protection for some 50 families thought to be targets.
The search for Dorner was focused in the mountains near Big Bear Lake about 80 miles east of Los Angeles after his burned-out truck was found there last Thursday. Authorities are searching more than 30 square miles day and night in the ski resort area and checking on roughly 600 cabins.
Police and city officials believe the reward, raised from public and private sources, will encourage citizens to stay vigilant. More than 700 tips had come in since the reward was announced.
"Now it's like the game show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire,'" said Anthony Burke, supervisory inspector for the U.S. Marshals regional fugitive taskforce. "Instead of one contestant, we've got 100,000, and there's only one question you have to answer. All they have to answer is where he's at, and we can take it from there."
The wide-ranging search has created unusually heavy traffic backups at California border crossings into Mexico, as agents are more closely inspecting each car. State police in Mexico's Baja California were given photographs of Dorner and warned to consider him armed and extremely dangerous.
Zellerbach said authorities believe Dorner will emerge at some point and try to continue carrying out his vendetta.
"I don't think he's done," Zellerbach said. "Just read his manifesto and look at his actions. He's trying to send a message, and it would be my belief that his message is not completed yet."
Dorner was fired from the LAPD five years ago, when a department board determined that he falsely claimed another officer had kicked a suspect. Randal Quan represented him during the proceeding.
Quan's daughter, Monica, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, were found shot dead Feb. 3 in a car in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium. Last Wednesday, after discovery of the manifesto, Irvine police announced they were searching for Dorner.
Early Thursday in the Riverside County city of Corona, police say Dorner shot at two LAPD officers who had been dispatched to protect a possible target of Dorner's. One officer's head was grazed by a bullet; the other was unharmed.
Minutes later, authorities said Dorner used a rifle to ambush two Riverside officers, killing one and seriously wounding another. The slain officer was identified as Michael Crain, 34. The other officer's identity was not released to protect his family.

The Loewe Foundation has devoted special support to music. By sponsoring concerts, publications, recordings and new creations, the Foundation has promoted the education and support of young talent.
The Infanta Cristina Piano Contest, created in 1982, is Loewe's longest-running cultural activity.
The opening notes of Loewe´s collaboration with music started long before the Foundation was born. In the 1980s the House promoted the Loewe Concerts at Madrid's Teatro Real with Ibermúsica, sponsored the Andrés Segovia scholarship at New York University and, since then, the Infanta Cristina Piano Contest.
Held every two years, this competition was established in 1982 by the International Society for Music Education and was supported by Loewe. The initiative was launched by Rosa María Kucharski, then piano teacher to the Infanta Cristina, as a mean to stimulate young Spanish pianists. The Loewe Foundation has been organizing the Contest since 1990. The Hazen Hosseschrueders Foundation joined the Loewe Foundation as co-organizer in 1992.
With the growing support of collaborating institutions, the Contest educates and provides young pianists with invaluable training experiences. The competition was opened in 2006 to all Spanish residents that fall within the following categories: under 13 year-old, under 17 and under 21.

We had this unit installed last August and even though the directions call for clips to be installed to anchor to countertop, they were not installed. After talking to several Sears folks both on-line at at the store, and having the installer come back and look again - no one seems to know how to get this done, even though the clips are shown and specifically talked about in the instructions provided with the unit.
Our unit sits up off the counter probably 1/8" plus in several areas allowing crumbs, grease or whatever to get under there - can't believe there isn't a way to seal this down against the counter - no flange, no gasket - nothing.
Totally unsatisfactory and Sears has only run us around again and again - almost making if feel like it's our fault.
Big thumbs down for this product.

Bought this to replace a failed cooktop with a downdraft unit. Sears was able to install in existing hole and utilize existing downdraft unit. Easy process, quick and polite installation, and knowledgeable sales person - and a great product.

After a minor issue requiring us to replace our first unit, the cooktop is performing wonderfully. I love the simmer burner and the bridge burners as well. I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving to give it a real workout!
Glen Allen, VA
We've had multiple issues with this unit in the first 20 months we've had it. 1. burners fail to ignite, particularly the left side burners where the bridge is. You have to remove the burner covers, get every little spec of dirt or crumb out, put everything back together, and then hope that it lights. This has happened with every burner. 2. The front right burner really flares up when it starts. Make sure you don't have your face too close looking at the flame under a pot. Eye brows may be singed! 3. Most of the labels (Lo, Med, Hi, etc) for the control knobs are coming off. We haven't used anythin rough to clean this unit with but yet the labels are disappearing. Safety issue and an eyesore.

I purchased this cooktop thee months ago. I use it infrequently, since I work nights. The letters on the top are already peeling off, just by wiping them with a sponge. Otherwise, it's a great stove

Very disappointed in this product. We built a new house and outfitted our new kitchen with Kenmore Pro. We are disappointed with the overall quality but the quality of this item is far below the cost. After two years of use the cheaply applied control labels are obliterated and the bezels have separated from the controls. We've been careful in cleaning to no avail. At the price for this range of products I cannot recommend these ranges to anyone.

First, the finish came scratched and had to be replaced and I know why. You can't even clean it with microfiber as EVERYTHING scratches it. But worse, it makes cooking a horror! The front jet burns all of my pots and pans. Sears has tried everything to tone down and they can't make it stop. Gas company says it is the cooktop. It is the only burner you can use as the others take forever to even boil water. Unless you want to simmer which is impossible! Simmer burner does not go low enough to simmer or hot enough to boil! . It is the cooktop from ****! If you like to cook, steer clear of this one! By the way, it is manufactured by Electrolux if you are interested.

The high BTU burner is unfortunately placed in front close to the edge of the cooktop instead of the middle back which would have also been further from the control knobs. This burner is poorly placed and gives off a broad flame instead of a crisp blue fire jet. Cooking with this 21K BTU burner so close to the counter edge will keep you on edge. I've been cooking in this location for 25 years and caught my shirt on fire for the first time after getting too close to this Kenmore M32333 cooktop. Best Stay Away ... Best Regards, "Burning Man"

Brought this item home, and can't get the packing tape marks off , even with GOO GONE! I scratched it, cleaning with a rag, REALLY a rag scratched the top? I am VERY unhappy with the quality of this cooktop! When I turn it on, sometimes it won't light right away, it clicks and clicks, and then have to turn it off, so I don't have too much gas in the air when it does start it! Based on these issues and others we have with our Kenmore Refrigerator model 5102, I will NEVER purchase Kenmore again!!!!!

You may have heard of the childhood obesity epidemic. But is it real? And if it is real, how important is it? And the answer is yes, it's very real. Up until about 1988, kids' weights in the United States were pretty constant over the years. But since 1988, they've been skyrocketing. And that's important for a few reasons. One of them is that what ever our weight is today, people tend to gain weight gradually over time. So if you're already overweight as a child that sets you up to be really overweight as an adult. And all the more so as a child because when kids, before puberty especially, are putting on extra weight, they tend to make new fat cells. Where as adults, when they're getting overweight, tend to have the fat cells they already have get larger. People who make more fat cells during childhood find it easier to gain even more weight as an adult and harder to lose weight.
So kids are setting habits in their metabolism and even the structure of their bodies as a child. Childhood obesity is a big problem. But it's not just because of the way fat looks. It's a health problem as well. In fact a ticking time bomb.
When I started in pediatrics not that long ago, it was rare to see some of the common conditions of middle age in children. Things like high blood pressure, or abnormal blood sugar, waist size over 40 inches, abnormal cholesterol. Those things were really rare in kids. But in a recent study, about two-thirds of American high schools students already had at least one of those. Two-thirds. They use to call something juvenile diabetes and there was adult onset diabetes, the kind that you get often from being overweight. Well now, what use to be adult onset diabetes, type 2 diabetes, is more common by age 9 because of the obesity epidemic. It is a ticking time bomb. The good news is that it's never easier than today to start to make a difference in a child's life.

O.A.R. - King
Posted by fuckyourscenes on 08/22/11
O.a.r. - 7.14.06
Posted by Caleb Cattivera on 07/23/06
The Billboard
So, the bio interviewer concludes. Is there any last thought youd like to share about Stories of a Stranger? Marc Roberge doesnt hesitate. I feel more militant and pumped up than ever before, the O.A.R. songwriter and frontman insists. Its critical to include that (Done.)
I know I come off to some folks as arrogant about this band, but its not that. Im proud of O.A.R. This is our coming-out party. Weve reached the first step on the ladder of where we want to be. The urgency in his voice a little hoarse and gravelly over the phone, assertive and electric with emotion throughout Stories of a Stranger cant be missed as he adds, Thats important to include too. (Done, and done )
Its tempting to just let the tape recorder run, transcribe everything Roberge says, and presto, theres your bio. But some perspective is necessary. Anyone whos followed this band knows that theyve never been content to follow precedent. Founded by high school friends in Rockville, Maryland, and then transplanted to and exploding out of Ohio in the late nineties, they practically defined the DIY approach and became grass-roots legends through unforgettable shows, smart self-marketing, and a never-say-die work ethic.
Basically, O.A.R. changed the rules, waiting until they were a proven commodity, with a deep fan base and a sound that was already a staple on college and alternative playlists, before signing to a major label.
The deal with Lava Records was by no means an excuse to start coasting. If anything, it pushed the guys harder to pare their strengths the enigmatic honesty of their lyrics, the rock-meets-reggae sizzle of their groove, their fleet and fiery improvisations down to a concise, high-impact delivery. Getting to that point was only a matter of time and that time has come.
Stories of a Stranger is arguably the first real O.A.R. album. While their sound is unmistakable, it now pulls off a contradictory feat by opening itself to a broader range of influences through songs more tightly focused than any theyve done previously. By far it takes the listener closer than any other album to the matchless experience of hearing O.A.R. live with the audio tweaked to position the listener in a center seat, a few rows back from the stage. All the ingredients are in place: the in-the-pocket lock-up of bassist Benj Gershman and drummer Chris Culos, the slash and simmer of Jerry DePizzos sax, guitar parts from Richard On that stretch from steamy rhythm licks to soaring, tuneful leads.
Whats different is how much more the band has taken into its sound and yet how tightly it all fits into each song and how these songs stream into a single statement, brutally personal yet so well executed that it lifts Roberge to the head of the rock wordsmith list.
From the loneliness of the performer even as his audience opens its arms to him (The Stranger) to the consequences that can emerge when an artist reaches back toward an ill-chosen fan (Dakota), from images of love lost (Love and Memories) to a celebration of love between a husband and wife (Nasim Joon), Stories of a Stranger rises from Roberges experiences while also touching everyone who has tiptoed through the minefields of the heart.
Ive never written songs like this, he muses. In the past theyve often started off well but then they meander, and by the end I havent really completed my thought. These songs complete every thought I was shooting for.
This change stems from Roberges decision to experiment, for the first time, with co-writing. Joining forces with Glen Ballard, whose titles range from Michael Jacksons Man in the Mirror to Alanis Morrissettes Jagged Little Pill, the pair collaborated on Love and Memories and Program Director, a tribute to the bond between listeners and local stations in the golden age of rock radio.
After a few days writing with Ballard, Roberge recalls, I saw at once that this was not a bad thing. This wasnt about somebody trying to change me. Writing is part of my job. And to give it my best, I still have to learn from people.
Roberge also joined with ASCAP award winner Chris Keup on Tragedy in Waiting, which examines, in Roberges words, the pitfalls of an over-thinking mind.
Then, as quickly as it had begun, the co-writing stopped. Glen showed me how to build a musical composition around a feeling and only then put words to it. That was pretty much all I needed to know, so when I went back to writing on my own, I found that better songs were coming out.
Most of Stories of a Stranger, then, is pure, though invigorated, Roberge. He cut demos at home, worked out basic parts with Richard On, and then brought the results to the rest of the band. Just like on all our earlier stuff, I never dictated what anyone else should play, he insists. Theres so much mutual respect among us that we just direct each other freely. Normally that kind of thing can kill a band, but were so open with each other that everybodys cool with it.
What made this routine different on Stories of a Stranger was the element of time. We took time to focus on the strength of each song, says drummer Chris Culos. A lot of our stuff in the past came from jamming it out onstage, which left it feeling unfinished even when wed put it onto a record later on. This time, we broke the songs down to acoustic guitar and vocals. Wed check whether the lyrics made sense with the music, and whether the flow was right, and whether it all fit concisely between the beginning and end. We paid attention to every note and every beat. And the songs came out stronger as a result.
The more things came together, the broader the river that nourished O.A.R.s sound. Their island feel is still there in fact, its deeper than ever on tracks like Program Director, where Roberges good-vibe paean to classic radio leads him almost into calypso phrasing. At the same time this flavor blends into the straight-ahead rock, the jazz intimations of DePizzos saxophone, the neo-soul guitar sweetening of Ons guitar licks on Nasim Joon, and most unforgettably the stark eloquence music and message on Dakota, adding up to a signature thats unmistakably O.A.R. yet more fully three-dimensional than anything theyve put to disc thus far.
Give credit, too, to Jerry Harrison, whose background with the Talking Heads and the Modern Lovers, not to mention his pioneering garageband.com site, makes him an especially artist-friendly producer. He told us, Guys, I want you to put your live show on CD. I dont want to make a slick record. I dont want studio tricks. I want to capture emotion. Thats the first time anybody has ever said that to us, Roberge says. And it was amazing. With that kind of freedom, you either succeed or you fail. But he believed in us, and he was there for us all the way to the end.
Seasoned by contributions from P-Funk keyboard legend Bernie Worrell, Tower of Power founder Lenny Pickett, vocalist Toby Lightman (Roberges muse on The Stranger), and other guests, brought to a sharp audio focus by engineer Eric E.T. Thorngren (Robert Palmer, Bob Marley, Violent Femmes), Stories of a Stranger isnt exactly a breakthrough album. Think of it more as a moment of arrival: The breakthrough happened when they exploded into the spotlight a few years back, as a whirlwind of brilliant ideas and riveting performances.
On Stories of a Stranger those pieces come together, their energies synced up and driving O.A.R. toward a full realization of its power. Wed never been 100 percent proud of a record before, Roberge declares. Even so, if we werent fully behind Stories of a Stranger, we wouldnt be putting it out at all. But we are 100 percent proud of every moment of this one and I want everyone to know that.
(Done and, for O.A.R., just beginning )

The world is one big art project for Bat for Lashes
Attending a Bat for Lashes show is a bit like going to play, a movie, an art installation and a concert all at once. And the architect of it all, Natasha Khan, wouldn't have it any other way.

after it builds custom ipsw it crashes and leaves a 1kb file.

any help? am I the only one?
If you can, try another computer
** If you just want to support hackint0sh.org with a donation, please click here **.
I had the same problems - winpwn crashing several times when I was trying to build the custom ipsw. I was running winpwn on a WindowsXP Home system, 500MB memory, with Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 service pack 1.
I was able to get this working after several attempts by turning off my antivirus software (Avira Antivir Personal), shutting down ALL other applications, and freeing up about 3 GB of space on the C: drive (up from only 1GB free when winpwn was crashing.
I'm not sure that the anti-virus software had anything to do with the problems I was having. I'm pretty sure that going from 1 GB to 3 GB of free disk was what allowed winpwn to successfully build the customer ipsw file.
I also had problems getting one of the two ("classic") iPhones that I pwn'ed on this system into DFU mode. Several times, I found that even with a black screen, the phone was only in recovery mode, and not DFU mode.
To be sure that the iPhone is really in DFU mode, I had to look in Control Panel ==> System ==> Hardware ==> Device Manager ==> Universal Serial Bus controllers. If you see your Apple device with "DFU" mentioned, then you are good to start your custom ipsw restore. When it said "Recovery mode" my restore attempts always ended with a 160* error message failure...
Good luck!
The problem is that the program needs 300Mb of ram, which is very difficult to get with XP and a whole bunch of programms/services running in the backgroud. Shutting down some programs might just work, but the best way to do it is on a computer with atleast 1GB of RAM. It worked for me as soon as I increased the RAM memory. hope that helps
alright , mate.Gonna try soon

Grey's Anatomy Review: One Hell of a Nightby Christina Tran at .
Wow! That was an explosive Grey's Anatomy - and I don't just mean that literally.
Since the long and drawn out lawsuit/plane crash storyline, I've been waiting patiently for an episode like "Can't Fight This Feeling." I was so thrilled that Shonda and company wasted no time and totally delivered, giving viewers an intense and powerful hour we so rightfully deserved.
So, what went down and how did our favorite doctors deal with the madness caused by a gas tanker explosion?
Well, the explosion caused multiple injuries and chaos at the new and improved Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. If tonight's installment was any indication of how well the hospital would do, I think it's safe to say that GSMH is going to be just fine.
Sarah Chalke guest starred as a mother who was desperately trying to help her son. Unfortunately, that desperation made her appear a bit cray cray. Luckily, Meredith was there and willing to help the frantic mother.
While all signs pointed to a common case of strep throat, the mother was relentless and just knew that something was truly wrong with her son. It's a good thing, too, because Mer figured out that the mother was right all along and the boy actually had Kawasaki disease, a rare condition in children that involves inflammation of the blood vessels.
Meanwhile, Owen was kind of amazing with Ethan, another patient whose parents were both being treated at the hospital. It was clearly evident how amazing of a father Owen would be and that he sincerely cared for the child he just met.
Elsewhere, a mother who was admitted to the hospital begged April to ensure that her baby girl would be safe. The baby was delivered perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the mother did not survive due to later complications. I couldn't help but to tear up as well as April broke down with Jackson there to comfort her.
As I'm not a fan of these two together, I was glad that their moment was interrupted by Alex. Matthew seems to be a really good fit for April, and I've like her a whole lot more since she started dating him.
Lastly, I think it's Jo's boyfriend who's the douche. I'm so ready for Alex to make a move and get with Jo. Come on, Alex!
Other Thoughts
- I couldn't help but think Alicia Keys would be singing to the tune of "This man is on fire…" as the man in flames collapsed near the ER doors.
- Zola made a rare appearance! She's gotten so big. I can't wait to see her with her new baby brother.
- My favorite moment may have been when Meredith and Zola showed up for Bailey's genome mapping project. How could she possibly turn them away after every word that Meredith spoke?
- Is it just me or was Callie's side plot a bit out of place? There was just way too much going on, and I just wanted to see what would happen next instead of hearing about her speech.
Overall, this was a strong showing of our favorite doctors at their best. Though it may not be one that I'll remember forever, I'm always down for an installment that's full of medical drama and showcasing the gang doing what they love the most: helping their patients regardless of the circumstances.
What did you think of the latest Grey's Anatomy? How do you think Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is holding up? Be sure to chime in early next week for our Grey's Anatomy Round Table.

I have given a lot of thought to the promo for next week and I can only think of two ways the Meredith/Bailey and Meredith/Derek (CTV promo) could go. Either Shonda has screwed Meredith with the ultimate blow by giving her the Alzheimer's gene, or ABC did some judicious editing and perhaps Bailey is telling a patient that they are positive for something and Derek is arguing with Meredith about "it could be decades" because like in Season six, he refused to be told the results of the blood test that Meredith had done to test for the gene. I truly hope that the latter option pans out. After surviving a bomb, drowning, losing Derek again in Season four, Derek running to the trailer in five, his being shot and the miscarriage in six, getting Zola and splitting up in seven, plane crash in eight, she doesn't deserve Alzheimers. That's just stupid and mean.
as much as i want jo and alex together, because that guy finally needs some happiness, i think they should fire jo.
she forgot to check on the kids eyes? which wouldve been a big indicator to his illness. she was going to send him home, and it wouldve been too late for the kid. april kepner forgot to check the patients throat in season 6 and got fired. lexie caused a girl to lose a part of her brain, and she got reamed by derek. izzie killed a patient but convincing hunt to do surgery for cancer. and he died; she screwed up someones meds and she lost a liver.
i dont get why shes not getting any shit being said to her after she didnt even bother to check someones eyes?!?!
Loved the little relationship between Owen & Ethan - unless his parents die, I don't see Owen adopting him. Owen & Cristina are still "blissfully happy" leave them until next season to figure out kids .... they've had such angst for such a long time, I'd like to see them just be happy for the rest of the season. Of course that is NOT how Shonda & Co. see it - so we'll get what we get with them. April just rocked it again last night. She is really turning out to be a great assistant to Owen in the ER but I felt so bad for her when Elyse died & Jackson knew just what to do - just by sitting there pulling her close letting her cry & thank you Alex Karev for actually being sensitive towards April & telling the husband that his wife had died. Very good show.

Right-handed hitters will appreciate the fences coming in a few feet at Safeco Field, though the difference it will make is up for debate. Personally, I'm not expecting a noticeable difference and think the park will continue to frustrate most righty sluggers.
But only time will tell. One player who probably isn't worried about it is new addition Michael Morse.
Right-handed power hitters have succeeded at Safeco Field in the past. Richie Sexson was a freak capable of conquering the vast dimensions before his age caught up to him. Bret Boone and Edgar Martinez were masters at going deep to the opposite field. Alex Rodriguez was a bit of both.
Morse may not be in the same class as those players but he does share a few attributes. He's got some Sexson in him given his size and ability to hit the ball 450 feet, but more importantly he does a lot of his damage to the opposite field.
From Hit Tracker Online
Upon developing a power game, Morse's distribution would have been well suited to Safeco in general, but the trend that has seen more and more balls pushed towards the right field line makes Morse look like he was destined to hit at Safeco Field.
It doesn't change anything about yesterday's trade, but it's ... neat. This park is a nice fit for Morse's offensive game.
Was the Morse-Jaso trade really so bad?

ST. LOUIS — One guy has the most famous beard in sports, the other guy is all scraggle and shadow.
One guy has so many colorful tattoos he pitches like a blurred painting, the other guy has never been inked.
One guy wears 00 because nobody else wanted it, the other guy wears 74 out of sentiment, because it is the street number of the home he bought for his family.
Only on these diverse Dodgers, it seems, could Brian Wilson and Kenley Jansen live in different worlds yet be part of the same punch. It's not a 1-2 punch, but an 8-9 punch, one strong enough to shorten a game and serve as a curfew.
The punch decree: If you don't beat the Dodgers in seven innings, your night is over.
In a playoff culture that assigns infinite value to a team's top two starting pitchers, Wilson and Jansen serve an equally important role as the Dodgers' last two pitchers — Wilson in the eighth inning, Jansen in the ninth inning, "I Love L.A." on deck.
For the last six weeks, the duo has been nearly as effective as Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke in intimidating opponents and shutting down scoreboards — only, their word is the final one.
"That's exactly how we want it to feel like," Wilson said. "We want it to feel like when we come in, the game is over."
You remember that slogan, right? "Game Over"? About 10 years ago, it belonged to Dodgers reliever Eric Gagne, whose steroid-fueled efforts set all sorts of save records. Everyone remembers Gagne, but what is sometimes forgotten is that he was consistently set up by the likes of Guillermo Mota, Darren Dreifort, Duaner Sanchez and Paul Quantrill in forming a blueprint for today's Dodgers bullpen.
"I remember the Dodgers in 2004. You get to the sixth inning, you felt like the game was over," said Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly. "To have two guys [like that] is great."
Wilson and Jansen are clearly those guys. Since Wilson made his Dodgers debut on Aug. 22, the two have combined to give up only three earned runs in 262/3 innings. That's a 1.01 earned-run average, with 34 strikeouts and 11 walks.
Since the playoffs began, they have worked their pugilism to near perfection, applying back-to-back jabs in two of the Dodgers' three victories while allowing zilch runs with 11 strikeouts and one walk.
Said Wilson, a 31-year-old from New Hampshire: "I'm having a great time."
Said Jansen, a 26-year-old from Curacao: "This isn't pressure, this is fun."
This is more than just great and fun. In recent baseball times, this is how champions do it.
The last three World Series winners have used the same two pitchers in the final two innings in 15 of their 33 playoff wins. The last two times the Dodgers were in the National League Championship Series, in 2008 and 2009, six of their eight losses to the Philadelphia Phillies featured the back-end Philly combination of Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge. Then there was the fabled New York Yankee dynasty of the late 1990s, which, during one stretch, featured the same 8-9 punch in 11 of 22 postseason victories. Everyone remembers Mariano Rivera, but his greatness was frequently set up by the often-forgotten Jeff Nelson.
"What we do together is a very overlooked part of the game," Wilson said. "It's not always about the last out. It's about the important outs after the seventh inning that are so hard to get."
Wilson is loud, Jansen is quiet. They don't hang out together and they rarely talk baseball. But they constantly eyeball each other, Jansen saying he gets inspiration from seeing Wilson take the mound, and Wilson saying he is inspired knowing Jansen is behind him.
Said Jansen: "You see him walk into a room and you think, 'Who is this guy?'… But to watch him pitch is amazing."
Said Wilson: "Each of us is in a different walk, but, man, he has talent."

IT'S rare that I can't see a point in an argument, even if it is an insignificant or silly point. I suppose an argument without a point is no argument at all.
But I'm yet to see a point in the argument that Australia should not discourage people from travelling in unseaworthy boats in dangerous seas to claim asylum in Australia.
In fact, I don't know how they argue for that proposition other than citing law and the High Court's disallowing last August of the Gillard government's so-called Malaysia solution. But the law may be very different from morality, from what we should and shouldn't do.
Perhaps these people who argue against discouraging asylum seekers from undertaking the perilous voyage would say that we should discourage people from setting out in leaky boats but we shouldn't do it by way of the Malaysia deal. If they say that I've not heard them advocate an alternative and effective means of discouragement.
And when another boatload of asylum seekers drown I am angry. The tragedy last week was typical of pretty well all the other mass drownings of asylum seekers – an unseaworthy boat crammed with fare-paying asylum seekers capsizes and the sea and sharks do the rest.
Two months after the court's rejection of the Malaysia solution, which would have swapped asylum seekers arriving by boat for five times more refugees in Malaysian camps, up to 20 people drowned when their boat capsized off Java, and three months later more than 200 are believed to have drowned when their boat capsized off Indonesia. And late last week the 100 or so believed lost when their boat capsized north of Christmas Island.
I'm angry about that. I'm angry that the Coalition and the Greens use people's lives as political fodder, that they see the number of asylum seekers who arrive by boat and who drown on the way as a score against the government. I am angry that the courts seem to have a greater say over government policy than the government.
I am angry that we are constantly beaten by our own laws, that people smugglers can operate in Australia while police watch, that a known people smuggler can flee the country while police watch helplessly, that people smugglers can get around our law by using underage teenage youth as boat crew, that we have to fly these teenagers home quickly so they can crew the next boat, that if we've jailed them because we had their age wrong we will probably have to send them home with compensation.
I am angry that we have so bound ourselves with laws and politics that we are helpless.
So now we have asylum seekers phoning Australia to come and get them, even from within Indonesian waters, and we've had Australian Navy ships take the asylum seekers on board because the Navy deemed the boat unseaworthy. It is a fair bet that every asylum seeker boat is unseaworthy.
We seem to have a continuous inquiry into whether Australia did enough to try to rescue or to ensure the safety of asylum seekers on these unseaworthy boats, and I expect that where it is found Australia could have done more, as Australia will surely find, Australia will pay compensation to those who survived the perils of the voyage and to the family of those who did not survive.
And all the while they arrive in increasing numbers, filling the courts with appeals and challenges, and the annual bill for managing them is set to reach $1billion in the next 12 months. And they drown in increasing numbers.
They come because their chances of, one, being given refugee status and, two, being accepted for permanent residency in Australia are many times higher here than overseas. And what is referred to as offshore processing, on islands off the Australian mainland, is not overseas for these purposes. They come because they have the money to pay people smugglers and we don't have the nous to stop them.
Surely our self-induced paralysis makes us responsible.
Should Australia refuse to accept asylum seekers who arrive by boat, for their own sake?

What is the Immune System?
Every day, we are faced with a multitude of bacteria, viruses, toxins, and other dangerous pathogens (germs). However, our bodies are equipped with an effective immune system to ward off these threats. Without it we would be extremely vulnerable to illness, disease, and infection.
The immune system is essentially our key to good health, and comprises many different levels and functions. The outer barrier of our immune system includes our skin and mucus membranes. These structures are our body's first line of defense, and are designed to keep bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that can cause our body harm from penetrating our systems.
The inner immune system is more complex. Our bodies are full of cells designed to fight disease by bonding with foreign entities and destroying them. Among the most well-known of these are lymphocytes, white blood cells, and T-Cells. These unique cells are what allow us to naturally fight and ward off serious infections. If functioning properly, strong immune system health should be able to fight off most disease.
