Seven-String Summit: Korn's Munky and Incubus' Mike Einziger Worship at the Feet of Steve Vai
Is the guitar solo a thing of the past?
EINZIGER: No. I'm still a big fan of the guitar solo.
SHAFFER: I am too, but I never could play guitar solos the way I really wanted to. Instead of a solo, our songs have a middle part where the whole band plays and creates a huge, driving groove. The way I see it, I'm part of a band -- not just a guitar player. It's cool to do the solo thing, but for us it's not part of what we do.
VAl: From the time I was a kid, my whole focus in life was to play guitar solos. It's nice to hear players branching off in other directions that are creative. There were a lot of things that I couldn't do, so that forced me to go in a different direction. I hated the blues when I was a kid. I'd hear a classic I-IV-V blues and go, "What is this crap?" Out of that hatred I developed this weird, perverted type of playing. It wasn't until later on that I started to appreciate the blues.
I was so neurotic that I'd sit on the toilet and do scales and exercises. I'd eat with one hand and do exercises with the other. You can't expect people to do that anymore. Enough is enough. Because now, even if they don't play perfect notes at the speed of light, you get people doing other creative things -- amazing things. Like Reeves Gabrels and David Torn.
Steve, the seven-string guitar that you designed for Ibanez, the Universe, has had a big impact on bands like Korn. What led you to develop a seven-string guitar?
VAl: I was just looking for something different, looking to expand the instrument and get a different sound. It wasn't a great revelation. It wasn't like the skies opened up and this instrument fell down. It was just a JEM guitar with an extra string. We tried to put a high string on it, but they kept breaking so we added a low string instead. It works really great, especially when it's cranked up. It really moves air.
And it's not like tuning down -- if you tune down you get a Iight string that's flopping. But when you have a .053 string on the bottom instead, you get that low sound without the flopping. But you guys tune down as well, don't you?
SHAFFER: We tune down a whole step, with the bottom string at A, and we use a .060 string on the bottom. There's still a lot of string tension so it doesn't go out of tune when you fret it.
EINZIGER: I don't use a seven-string, but I wanted to. I was 13 years old when the Universe came out on the market. I'm small as it is, but at that time I was smaller. I had enough problems playing a six-string guitar because my fingers were really tiny. I remember seeing it up on the rack at Guitar Center and going, "Oh my God! It's God! I've seen it. Can you take it down? " Of course, the nice guy at Guitar Center was very anxious to take it off the wall for me. I started playing it and thought it was the greatest thing ever, but after five minutes my wrist hurt.
How does a six-string player who wants to start using a seven-string overcome the initial intimidation?
VAl: You should be intimidated. [laughs] Actually, it's not like a weird hybrid. To me, an hour or so after someone picks it up for the first time it doesn't feel like a six-string guitar plus one string. It feels like a seven-string guitar. It's very natural. After a while you get used to it, and you feel very manly. It's like testosterone to the extreme.
Have you ever had any problems amplifying the seven-string?
VAl: I've never had any problems. It's actually tighter sometimes. Sometimes the speakers will get worn a little quicker. I use a combination of different cabinets -- one with 70-watt speakers and the other with 30-watt speakers. The 30-watts can be a Iittle mushier, but it actually adds to the sound, especially when used in a clean context.
SHAFFER: We had problems with mud in the studio while we were doing our first record [Korn (Immortal/Epic)] because we tune down and use a lot of gain. When you have two guitars that sound like that, it becomes too much. We tried to get rid of the mud by bringing in a Big Muff pedal that we turned all the way up, as that usually compresses the frequency response and tightens up the sound. The Big Muff actually made it sound even more muddy, but it also created this really cool texture, so we decided to take what initially appeared to be a problem and incorporate in into our music.
What approach do you take when arranging music for the seven-string?
VAl: The good thing about it is that the seven-string is largely virgin territory. It's a new medium, so you have to rely on your own devices to be creative. Sure, you can do some of the things that I've done, or you can sound like Korn -- you can try to, good luck -- but it's not like you've got a lot of examples to listen to. You're left to exercise your own brain power to come up with something unique.
Right before Frank Zappa passed away, he was putting together a project that included myself, Terry Bozzio and a bass player with this 35-piece ensemble out of Germany called the Ensemble Modern. We were going to do all of Frank's most difficult music. There was this one piece called " Mo 'n' Herb's Vacation," which has really ridiculous, intimidating melodies. It was written for clarinet, which goes lower than the guitar, so I explained to Frank about the seven-string guitar. He got so excited because he knew I could play the melody on the seven-string. Unfortunately, it was the last project Frank started, and it never happened.

Big Hammer Premium Swimbaits are hand-poured with the finest quality plastic. This combined with the unique square tail design creates an unparalleled vibrant swimming action - even at the slowest retrieve speeds. Freshwater or saltwater - tie one on and see for yourself how "Nothing kicks like the tail of a Big Hammer".
Rigging Tip: After continuous use swimbaits begin to slip off the shank of the jig head. Once they start doing this they soon become unusable. To prevent this, glue the plastic to the jig head shank with ZAP-A-GAP when you first rig up. The swimbait will stay glued to the head permanently until you decide to separate the two.

The Palatinate Wine Trail shows the region at its best, with ambling paths guiding walkers on a mixture of enchanting woodland walks and sun-drenched stretches through a sea of vines.
The Palatinate Wine Trail is characterised by steep climbs through the chestnut trees and pine forests of the Haardt hills, narrow paths and sweeping views across the Rhineland Plain. The route starts at the northern edge of the Haardt hills in the narrow medieval lanes of Neuleiningen. On its way through Bad Dürkheim, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, Annweiler am Trifels and Bad Bergzabern, the trail leads to many charming little winegrowing villages. There are plenty of excellent vineyards happy to uncork a bottle right there on the wine estate, where a drop of the region's wine tastes its absolute best! With many castle ruins, as well as Hambach Castle, Villa Ludwigshöhe and Kalmit hill (673m), there are lots of opportunities to enjoy magnificent views across the vineyards and out to the Rhineland Plain. The wine trail ends where it meets the 'Waldpfad' woodland trail in Schweigen, so walkers with any energy to spare can carry straight on.
Tip: ruins of Neuscharfeneck Castle, Dernbach
Built in the 13th century by Karl-Friedrich I, this now ruined castle is the third largest in the region, with a wall 58 metres long, twelve metres thick and reaching a height of 20 metres in places. The castle, destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, makes a fascinating place to visit.

Unsafe toys that can injure children may still be on store shelves, but the government is cracking down. TODAY National Investigative Correspondent Jeff Rossen reports.

The mad rush to grab the season's hottest toys has started, but authorities say it's not all child's play. From tricycles to infant rattles to action figures, authorities have recalled dozens of unsafe toys this year and blocked millions more from even getting to stores.
Click here for the CPSC list of recalled toys.
"We seize them at the ports. We don't let them into the country," Inez Tenenbaum, chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, told us.
The commission released alarming new numbers Thursday, revealing that more than 193,000 children were injured while playing with toys last year and 13 kids were killed.

One of the major causes is high-powered magnets kids can't resist. It was the reason 3-year-old Payton Bushnell suddenly got sick.Story: Rossen Reports: More kids getting hurt in bounce houses
"I really didn't think much of it until…she started to vomit," Payton's mother said. "And we just thought it was the typical stomach flu."
It wasn't the flu. Payton had swallowed 37 little magnets called Buckyballs. They connected together inside her body, squeezing her intestines.
More Rossen Reports
The CPSC says Buckyballs are unsafe for children, yet they're still on the market.
"Why can't you just recall them and say, 'you can't sell these anymore?'" we asked Tenebaum.
"The company was asked to recall them and the company refused," she said.
Now the CPSC is taking Buckyballs to court. The company told us it'll fight the lawsuit: they say the product is marketed to adults and, when it's used properly, people don't get hurt.Story: Rossen Reports: Fruit on food labels — are you being misled?
But now the Feds are cracking down on dangerous toys before they even hit the stores. Armed with tough new laws, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and CPSC officials at the ports are inspecting toys right as the shipments arrive from overseas. Two million toys have been seized, including action figures, toy guns and mini-motorized cars, all with high levels of lead.
But officers only check a small percentage of toys. Officials say it comes down to parents. Sometimes the toys are fine and it's the kids using them wrong. In fact, the No. 1 cause of child injuries last year was kids falling off scooters, which are incredibly popular.
"They always have to wear helmets, right?" we asked.
"Absolutely… and you also need the knee pads and the elbow pads," Tenenbaum said.
It's not always the toy design. You need the parent watching them.

"A safe toy plus supervision equals a happy holiday," Tenenbaum said.
The toy industry says safety is a priority, and toy companies work with the government and experts to make sure their products are safe.
The best advice for avoiding a toy injury is to read warning labels before you buy presents and make sure the toys are age-appropriate. Also check to see what toys have been recalled so you can make sure you don't have them at home right now.

The rule of Soundgarden is the opposite of what you'd expect. They started out sucktastic, but got better as they became more commercial.
Good to know. I'll definitely get it when I have the chance.Quote:

I was a part of a commercial for the high school video bulletin, where I modeled the Bob Dylan "toss the cards with words on 'em" clip, and Weird Al's "Bob" song of all palindromes was in the background; so I'm listening to Poodle Hat, with track 5 "Angry White Boy Polka" currently playing.
Bad thing about Beck: he puts out albums more often than anyone except Ryan Adams.
Good thing: he's not as popular, so I've been able to get his last two albums at closing Circuit Cities for 50%+ off. :thumbsup:
"Lost Cause" was one of the songs he did on SNL. That is probably the time I watched and didn't care for it. Listening to the clip now, I guess it is all right. "A**hole" is okay, and "Rowboat" sounds a bit too twangy for me.
So, I listed my top 10 iTunes purchases with the most plays. Four of them were also among the first ten purchases I made.
Nirvana - "You Know You're Right"
Jonatha Brooke & The Story - "No Better"
The Start - "The 1234"
James Asher - "Earth Song"
Buffalo Springfield - "Rock 'n Roll Woman"
Jerry Reed - "Amos Moses"
Air - "Sexy Boy"
After The Fire - "Der Kommissar"
Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"
The Killers - "Smile Like You Mean It"
Have you listened to their stuff before Badmotorfinger? It's bad. Really bad. With the exception of "Big Dumb Sex," which is okay.
Badmotorfinger is quite good, Superunknown is better, and Down on the Upside is only slightly less good than Superunknown.
But as for me, I finally tracked down an illicit MP3 of the famous (or infamous) live version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight" where Elvis cracks a joke about the bald head on some dude in the audience and spends the rest of the song bursting out in fits of uncontrollable laughter. Needless to say, that track on repeat.
Finishing up "Trouble in Paradise" [live version] from Huey Lewis & the News, from the HLatN: Greatest Hits CD. Now it's on "It's Alright."
A couple things i'm listening to: William Elliot Whitmore's new disc, ANIMALS IN THE DARK, which is pretty fantastic so far. This guys voice is really terrific; I love his sound.
and been listening to the new U2 album, NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. I've listened to a few tracks and i'm really enjoying it so far; it has a nice mix of Joshua Tree meets Achtung Baby to it; "Magnificent" is my favorite track on the album so far. I'm enjoying it more than HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB. :thumbsup:

Definitely not saying Obama is in any way responsible. This just goes to show how people just want to worship him. It's interesting that you can't say a prayer or talk about God in school, but if use hymns and just substitute "Obama" for God's name, it's okay...
So far, the school system is keeping mum.
Yardley, glad to see you being sensible about this. The rest of our compadres will be along shortly. I figure there will be someone that sees nothing wrong with this, as with some of the other undefendable things that have occured.The office of the superintendent of Burlington Township School District did not provide comment or confirmation to FOXNews.com that the songs were recorded at B. Bernice Young Elementary when contacted by phone Thursday.

Well, as the story unfolds in my local newspaper (I live near the school district in question), the song was sung by the class as part of the school's program for Black History month on February 26. The focus of the show was a series of tributes to black Americans whose actions have made a difference in our history. I don't understand the logic, but apparently the teacher thought that the inauguration of the nation's first black President deserved mention in the show. There were many similar skits in the show focusing on others of importance. I suspect that no one will be fired since the teacher involved retired last June. There are investigations being conducted by the school board and by the NJ Division of Education. Apparently the video was posted by someone in Washington DC who authored a book on Obama but was not present at the assembly. The video was shot by a student at the school and it was not reported how the tape came into the possession of the person who posted it. I'm sure that the damage to the children can be corrected with years of electroshock treatment and therapy.
Just as I suspected. It's all okay and there isn't anything wrong with singing praises to Obama to the tune of church hymns in public school.
Heaven forbid one of the kids slipped and forgot to insert Obama over God's name in them...

This isa family favorite in my dh's family. It usually shows up at most family reunions.
Supplies in the details.
I really like your recipe card. The way you attached your tag is really cool. I also really like the way you intertwined your border frames. I have a couple of questions about your recipe, which sounds very good by the way. When you say you add the graham wafers. Do you add them whole or do you crush them? And do you put it in a cake pan? How do you serve this? I'm really curious about this recipe. It intrigues me. TFS.
Ditto on what Rosemary said! I'll definitely try the recipe out!
This does sound good! How will I ever stay on my diet? I love this card too. The template is one of my favs and I really like the tag you attached, very clever! TFS
Neat card, and the recipe sounds scrumptious.
Guess I need to clarify some instructions! The crackers are just broken up into chunks and added in, then they soften a bit while it sits. We've always just served it in big bowl, nothing fancy. Actually, the subtitle (What the cat left behind) comes from a time when dh's Grandma (at least I think that's who it was, can't remember for sure), made it for someone, and they asked, what is this, it looks like something the cat left behind - anyway, the name kinda stuck!
Sounds yummy. I like the colors and how you did the title.

Diamondbacks pick up OF Tony Campana from CubsAP , Associated Press
Feb. 18, 2013 4:13 PM ET
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired outfielder Tony Campana in a trade that sent right-handed pitchers Jesus Castillo and Erick Leal to the Chicago Cubs.
The 26-year-old Campana hit .264 with 30 stolen bases in 89 games with the Cubs last season. He was second in the NL with a stolen base percentage of 90.9 and was tied for third in bunt hits with eight. Campana played 184 games in two seasons with Chicago, hitting .262 with 11 RBIs and 54 steals.
Leal and Castillo are both 17-year-olds who signed as non-drafted free agents in 2011.
The Diamondbacks also placed right-hander Daniel Hudson on the 60-day disabled list. He had reconstructive elbow surgery last July.

Well, Saturday I had a hen yelping on the other side of the hill. She'd yelp I'd cut her off, did this for about 15 minutes. Couldn't get her any closer, I then yelped and double gobbled with my gobble call. After about another 15 minutes I had her within 5 feet of me.
Sunday I worked a bird for about an hour but just couldn't get him to come in. I've got a 4 day weekend coming up so everyday is like opening morning!

Carlos is a very sympathic host. We had a nice stay. Just in front of the house there is a stop of the Aerobus to the airport, very convenient! The house is clean. The room and the breakfast table are a bit small. But at this price I would still recommend it. Thank you Carlos!
very central, friendly and clean!
Can recommend it to anyone.
zeer centraal, vriendelijk en schoon!
Kan het iedereen aanbevelen.
I spent four wonderful days in Barcelona, the room and the apartment in general were clean, guests absolutely not intrusive, shifts to the bathroom and the kitchen perfectly manageable, the apartment is located very close to the Rambla and the metro so is an excellent starting point to visit the main attractions of Barcelona paid! Walk along the Rambla you reach the sea and on the way there are numerous shops, restaurants and above the Carrefour! The only flaw but that 'we did not however given disorder, the fact that having the room (with balcony) on the road, the evening was a bit' of noise due to nightlife, but after a full day in Barcelona you sleep as the stones! Who was more attentive to this "problem" may require rooms not facing the road or equip with plugs. I absolutely recommend this property, and when I return to Barcelona I will not hesitate to rebook by Carlos!
Ho trascorso quattro splendide giornate a Barcellona, la stanza e l'appartamento in generale erano puliti, gli ospiti assolutamente non invadenti, i turni per il bagno e per la cucina perfettamente gestibili, l'appartamento si trova molto vicino alla Rambla e alla metro quindi è un ottimo punto di partenza per visitare le principali attrazioni Barcellonesi! Percorrendo la Rambla a piedi si arriva al mare e nel tragitto ci sono numerosi negozi, ristoranti e soprattutto il Carrefour! Unica pecca che pero' a noi non ha comunque dato disturbo, il fatto che avendo la stanza (con balconcino) sulla strada, la sera c'era un po' di rumore dovuto alla movida, ma dopo un'intera giornata a Barcellona si dorme come i sassi! Chi fosse più attento a questo "problema" puó richiedere le stanze non fronte strada o attrezzarsi con i tappi. Consiglio assolutamente questo alloggio e quando torneró a Barcellona non esiteró a riprenotare da Carlos!
Receipt and contact was fine. Room small ventilation shaft in through the window gave bad smells, squeaky doors, bad bed (mattress), cleanliness fine, breakfast okay, location pledge fine, good price
Ontvangst en contact was prima. Kamer klein, ventilatie via raam in schacht gaf vieze geuren, piepende deuren, slecht bed(matras),hygiene prima, ontbijt oke, ligging pand prima, prijs prima
Overall Rating 2.
Small room poorly furnished and dirty with a window without blinds. Breakfast is not included and even the towels and we shared 8 people in a bathroom is not clean; Also, we had trouble sleeping at night because of continuous citofonavano: neighborhood very noisy at night.
The only positive is the location: close to the center
Voto complessivo 2.
Camera piccola mal arredata e sporca con una finestra senza persiane . La colazione non è inclusa e neanche la biancheria da bagno e abbiamo condiviso in 8 persone un bagno non pulitissimo; inoltre , abbiamo avuto difficoltà a dormire perchè di sera citofonavano di continuo: quartiere molto rumoroso di notte.
Unica nota positiva è la posizione : vicinissima al centro
blah blah blah!
bof bof bof !
Carlos: Very nice, everything has declared given few tips.
Rooms: Very bad:
Mattress: I felt every spring, ONLY 1.80m long, his feet hanging out!
Our room was only separated by a wooden door from the other rooms. That means I have listened to every conversation as if who stood next to me, the glare from the neighbors seemed also, and all this in the middle of the night.
Since the room was on the main road I have of course the lautenb traffic noise heard through the night.
Internet connection: For a slow connection I had in the 90'igern over a 56K modem. Unfortunately also been repeatedly disconnected.
Breakfast: toast, 2 kinds of jam, a sort of sausage, tea, instant coffee, cocoa, cereal and cookies.
Bad: not hygienic, no good ventilation.
Location: Good, Metro right there.
Carlos: Sehr nett, hat alles erklärt, paar Tipps gegeben.
Zimmer: Sehr schlecht:
Matratze: Ich habe jede Feder gespürt, NUR 1,80m lang, die Füße hingen raus!
Unser Zimmer war nur durch eine Holztür vom anderen Zimmer getrennt. Das heißt ich habe jedes Gespräch mitgehört als wenn die neben mir gestanden haben, das grelle licht vom Nachbarn schien auch durch, und das alles mitten in der Nacht.
Da das Zimmer an der Hauptstraße war habe ich natürlich auch den lautenb Verkehrslärm die ganze Nacht durchgehört.
Internetverbindung: So eine langsame Verbindung hatte ich in den 90´igern mit einem 56K Modem. Leider auch mehrmals getrennt worden.
Frühstück: Toast, 2 Sorten Marmelade, eine Sorte Wurst, Tee, Löslicher Kaffee, Kakao, Kornflakes und Kekse.
Bad: nicht hygienisch, keine gute Belüftung.
Lage: Gut, Metro gleich da.

It's out with the old and in with the new at North Park in Wellman. According to City Administrator, Nick Pacha, several small pieces of old and outdated playground equipment is being replaced by one large integrated piece.
The new play system is being purchased from Playcraft Systems out of Bettendorf for $20,000.
The City will be using funds from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation Quarterly municipal grants, with matching funds from the Wellman Rotary club and a District Rotary grant.

Events to connect Einstein, physics and music, Nov. 13
Posted November 4, 2005; 06:16 p.m.
A lecture and a concert exploring connections between Albert Einstein, music and physics are set for Sunday, Nov. 13, in Taplin Auditorium, Fine Hall.
The lecture, titled "Superstrings," will begin at 2 p.m. Brian Foster, an experimental particle physicist at the University of Oxford, will begin with a discussion of Einstein's life and involvement with music and then highlight some of today's theories of particle physics that build on structures set forth by Einstein. At several points during the lecture, music inspired by the ideas being discussed will be performed by British violinist Jack Liebeck.
In addition to being a Nobel laureate in physics, Einstein was an accomplished violinist and an avid concert-goer. A description of his musical life in Princeton is available online at <feynman.princeton.edu/~smithajs/JLprog.doc>.
Following the lecture at 4 p.m., Liebeck will perform a concert of music by Beethoven, Debussy, Martinu and Strauss, accompanied by pianist Charles Owen.
The events are sponsored by Princeton's Department of Physics as part of the World Year of Physics, a yearlong celebration of physics and Einstein organized by international physics organizations and recognized by the United Nations. The year is the 100th anniversary of Einstein's "miracle year" in which he published three of his most influential papers.

By Tiernan Ray
I'm at a loft space on way west 36th Street in Manhattan, Skylight West, where press are assembling for a media event hosted by T-Mobile USA (TMUS). The Stones's "Gimme Shelter" is playing.
The Verge's Chris Ziegler has written that T-Mobile may unveil a plan to let customers upgrade their smartphone whenever they like, as often as they like, at the same price for the phone as newly arriving customers pay.
An indeed, as we're sitting here, T-Mobile just issued a press release saying they will offer "Jump," a plan to let people upgrade their phones twice a year:
JUMP!: A radical new program that allows T-Mobile customers to upgrade their phones when they want, up to twice per year. The program also includes total protection against device malfunction, damage, loss or theft – all for just $10 per month.
A brief video about how T-Mobile is making changes, featuring "real customers." And now CEO John Legere comes up on stage. He says he's going to try not to be an analyst and focus on the August 8th financial results. Instead, he wants to talk about conversations back at CES in January. There is a feeling that people "absolutely hate" the industry, meaning cellular.
"The biggest pain points for customers" are what the company wants to solve. He thinks it's stunning that this is the only industry where that approach is unique.
He uses a collection of four children's dolls on stage as a prop to pose ridiculous questions. "Hey, Billy, do you really want your LTE network to be crap?"
He's talked with customers about things they hate: bonding contracts, high device prices, etc.
The concept of "no contract" has become, he argues "viral" in its popularity. So far, the company has thrown out annual service contracts, he asserts. "If you want to say there's still an underlying contract, go ahead; it's bullshit," says Legere.
He mentions a piece of writing that was "garbage" published yesterday saying the company was losing share. Such claims make no sense, he thinks.
Apple's (AAPL) iPhone is a "great device," he says, but it's not the whole story" of the company's success, he insists. "No contract is huge, and will be huge," he says. "Customers love the un-carrier."
"We are going to redefine a stupid, broken, arrogant industry," says Legere. "Here's the shock: we're listening to the customer. They're coming to is in droves."
He suggests AT&T (T) take a 12-step program: "Hi, we're AT&T, and our customers hate us."
Store traffic, he says, has doubled for T-Mobile retail, and so have credit applications.
T-Mobile is now the number one new net addition customer for New York City based on industry data for May, he says. He says Sprint-Nextel (S) and Verizon Communications (VZ) and AT&T all came in below T-Mobile's 56,000 net adds in May in New York.
The company, says Legere, "loves fighting these big guys," says Legere. He says he's given every store rep shares of T-Mobile stock based on the $16.50 price on the first day of trading of TMUS, May 1st.
Legere brings up CTO Neville Ray to the stage to talk about the network. He says there's a lot of noise about "long term evolution," or LTE broadband service. The other guys, he says, have been working on it for a couple of years now. "Little old T-Mobile," he says, has "smashed" its goal of getting 100 million "POPs" coveted with LTE, with 157 million covered as of July 1st.
Today, the company is launching the new LTE markets. He wants to bring up a special guest, the "T-Mobile Girl" from the commercials, Carly Foulkes. Foulkes hops on stage in her trademark leather jumpsuit.
There's a brief video behind her with names of cities flashing by, pounding music, and then that's it and Foulkes is off stage.
The company is now in 73 of the top 100 markets, he says. That compares to Sprint in just 22 cities, he says.
T-Mobile will hit its goal of covering 200 million POPs before the end of this year, says Ray.
Correction: A prior version of this post incorrectly named the venue of the T-Mobile event. It was at Skylight West. My apologies for any confusion caused by the error.

except one thing......the LHSAA knew JC and ECA would sue them (and win) if they did that so they just whistled past the graveyard.
It's funny to read so many comments. For those not in the know...it clearly shows
thinking JC, Calvary and Evangel will become the lepers of the Louisiana football moving forward. Their only game now might be playing a national schedule. The privates don't want their arse either.
Calvary has how many state titles?
Calvary has never been past the semifinals.....
look for Legislation to be pushed which takes away funding from public schools that exclude other public-"select enrollment" schools. At least this is what I'm hearing from people "in the know."
The only kids left at the regular publics will be non-motivated kids, many with learning disabilities and character issues.
This is a net positive for the rest of the kids.
When those schools are perennial failures, they will have to reintegrate the charter school kids or force the charter schools to take everyone who wants to go there.
FWIW, I believe that the public school system should break off at 10th grade and they should turn the traditional public schools into tech and vocational schools. Why pretend these kids are all going to college? They are entering the workforce as soon as they graduate HS if not earlier, so build a better worker.
To be fair, the rationality of it is the reason it's a fact it will never happen.
1. Let's kick out our best teams from the private schools
2. Let's kick out our most resourceful public schools too.
3. Let's call it the "select" division -- kind of like USSSA baseball and AAU basketball -- just to reinforce the notion that they play a better brand of football in that division

I can say I stuck it out to the end. Thought most of the storylines were wrapped up well, but I wondered if they were gonna do it in time. Lot of stuff crammed into two hours. Kept thinking, though, that one of the main characters was going to get it in the end.
Love the 'they float' and checking alternate Olivia's *** out lines. Nice to see the alternate universe addressed one last time. Kinda missed the alt-Liv; she was kinda hot.

Richard Mabry and Free Books!
Before we meet today's novelist, I'd like to announce that the winner of the drawing for Virginia Smith's novel, Third Time's a Charm, is:
gcwhiskas@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
And now let's meet novelist Richard Mabry, author of Code Blue (Abingdon Press, April 2010).
Richard L. Mabry, MD, is a retired physician and medical school professor who achieved worldwide recognition as a clinician, writer, speaker, and teacher before turning his talents to non-medical writing after his retirement.
He is the author of one non-fiction book, and his inspirational pieces have appeared in numerous periodicals. Code Blue is the first in his Prescription For Trouble series of medical suspense novels.
He and his wife, Kay, live in North Texas, where--when he's not writing--he can be found playing golf or serving as the world's greatest grandfather.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Code Blue.
"Code Blue" means more to Dr. Cathy Sewell than the cardiac emergency she has to face. It describes her mental state as she finds that coming back to her hometown hasn't brought her the peace she so desperately needs.
She returns to her hometown seeking healing after a broken relationship, but discovers that among her friends and acquaintances is someone who wants her out of town . . . or dead.
Lawyer Will Kennedy, her high school sweetheart, offers help, but does it carry a price tag? Is hospital chief of staff Dr. Marcus Bell really on her side in her fight to get hospital privileges? Is Will's father, Pastor Matthew Kennedy, interested in advising her or just trying to get her back to the church she left years ago? When one of Cathy's prescriptions almost kills the town banker, it sets the stage for a malpractice suit that could end her time in town, if not her career. It's soon clear that this return home was a prescription for trouble.
Which character in your novel most interested you while you wrote?
No question, it was Dr. Cathy Sewell. While I can write with authority about medicine as practiced in almost any setting, it was extremely difficult to do so from a female perspective. For that, I had to turn to my wife, who helped me immeasurably in this regard.
Yes, it's impressive that you took on the female voice, Richard. Kudos to Kay!
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
There's something for everyone there. True to my tagline of "medical suspense with heart," Code Blue is romantic suspense in a medical setting, all presented in a balanced fashion. This is suspense you can read without having to keep the light on at night. It's romance that's heart-warming but not saccharine. And there's just enough medicine to make it interesting, but not so much that you feel like you've been to your doctor.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
I can't recall the last time I went to the movies. We generally watch "classics" on Netflix.
How about Doris Day?
And Cary Grant?
Definitely works for me!
How many points of view do you typically use in a novel? If you vary, what have you found you enjoyed the most?
I always prefer writing from the POV of the lead character. I will occasionally present scenes from another POV, but only if the story can best be told that way. And I work hard not to shift points of view in mid-scene, although I've seen some excellent writers get away with it. For me, simplicity works best.
What facet of the writing craft comes easiest to you? What do you struggle with?
The hardest part of any novel is coming up with the hook, the opening scene, and the ending. Next hardest is connecting the dots to present a story arc that holds the reader's attention. I have to confess that I often don't know who the villain is when I start a book--just how they're going to be brought to justice.
Although writing a first draft is pure agony for me, editing is fun. Why? Because I already know what's happening and who's doing it. Now I just have to make it a good read.
Oh, I'm so with you on that last point, Richard. It's so much easier to improve something that already exists than it is to create from nothing!
Choose an inanimate object to represent you. Explain what you have in common with that object.
Probably a computer--I perform as I'm supposed to most of the time, but sometimes I freeze up and no work gets done.
That made me laugh. We probably all experience that freezing up quality from time to time.
What is the last book you read that moved you?
I mainly prefer fiction, but recently I read Max Lucado's Fearless, and it truly moved me. He points out how fear affects all of us, sometimes in ways we don't even realize, before offering help to overcome it. It opened my eyes.
What are you working on now?
I'm fortunate enough to be working under a three-book contract with Abingdon Press. The second book in the series, Medical Error, is in the hands of my editor already and will be out September 1. I've completed the manuscript for the third Prescription For Trouble book, Diagnosis: Death except for some final polishing. After that, who knows? I'd love to write a novel about baseball--actually, I've already written one--but everyone says it would never sell. So I'm probably back to writing medical suspense.
I suppose many of us have that dream novel tucked away, waiting for what I call the "Grisham Point." That's the point where you're so successful writing what sells you can afford to release the book of your heart, regardless of whether or not the publisher thinks it will sell as well as your others.
Where else can readers find you or your writing online?
I'm on the web at rmabry.com and I blog at rmabry.blogspot.com. For those who like Twitter, I'm RichardMabry, while on Facebook my name is richard.mabry.
Code Blue is available wherever books are sold, via the Amazon button at left, and at these locations:

I'm sure Richard's baseball novel would be good and I hope it is published eventually. But medical suspense does seem pretty popular right now and I have to admit that I enjoy it, as long as it's not too scary. Abingdon Press is putting out some good books and I look forward to this series. Thank you for the interview and chance to win a copy, Trish.

Larissa Guillaume, a rising sophomore at Nottingham High School in Hamilton, works on a project in art class during the Princeton University Preparatory Program summer institute. The summer program includes intensive coursework and other activities intended to help area high school students enhance their academic skills in preparation for applying to college.
The photographs on this page were taken by Ivona Kaczmarek, a former resident of Ewing, N.J., who was enrolled in the Princeton University Preparatory Program from 2000 to 2004. She graduated from West Virginia University in 2008 and currently is pursuing a career as a photographer in the Pittsburgh area.

Program guides aspiring college students toward success
Posted August 31, 2009; 09:55 a.m.
For local high school students who aspire to higher education, the Princeton campus this summer served as a launching pad toward their goal of attending college.
Sixty-eight students participated in the Princeton University Preparatory Program's six-week summer institute, which includes intensive coursework, cultural activities and college tours. Students enroll in the program, known as PUPP, after their freshman year of high school and spend three years building the skills they need to succeed academically.
Now in its ninth year, the program serves students from the Princeton, Trenton, Ewing, Lawrence and Hamilton public schools. Students remain involved year-round, participating in weekly academic enrichment sessions at their schools and attending cultural events.
From left, rising sophomores Dennisse Calle of Trenton Central High School and Dan Cox and Tamara Frater of Ewing High School prepare for an exercise using a micropipette during biology class, which focused this summer on the study of infectious disease.
"We had a very successful summer," said Jason Klugman, director of the program, which is administered by the University's Program in Teacher Preparation. "In addition to our outstanding faculty, we had a great group of teaching assistants who helped us manage the program quite well." Nine Princeton undergraduates served as teaching assistants, aided by teaching assistant liaison David Ponton, who graduated from Princeton this spring and will teach social studies at Ewing High School this fall.
"The PUPP scholars were challenged in the classroom from day one, and demonstrated the grit and determination it takes to be successful in a collegiate setting," Klugman said.
During the summer institute, which concluded earlier this month, students took courses in art, writing, literature, math, physics, biology, social science and college-preparation skills. They also participated in activities such as yoga, capoeira, salsa dancing and singing. At the end of the session, students presented the results of their academic work at a research symposium intended to help them hone their public-speaking skills.
From left, rising seniors Javier Torres of Trenton Central High School, Hira Ahmad of Steinert High School in Hamilton and Julio Estrada of Trenton Central High School work together in math class.
Sean Hammer, a 2008 Princeton graduate who teaches biology at Ewing High School, led the biology course for rising PUPP sophomores along with Trenton Central High School teacher Mary Courtney. "PUPP achieves its goal of fostering a sense of community among students, faculty, TAs and the administrators," he said. "To be a part of a program where everyone is so highly invested in the success of these students is truly something special."
Hammer said a highlight of the summer was conducting unusual fieldwork with students in the biology course, which focused on infectious disease. The PUPP students donned protective clothing and collected ticks from three areas near campus to study the prevalence of Lyme disease in the Princeton community.
Eddson Donado, a rising junior at Trenton Central High School, joins in a session of capoeira, a combination of acrobatics, music, martial arts and dance. The summer program balanced intensive coursework with activities such as capoeira, yoga, dancing and singing.
"We were able to provide students with the opportunity to not only perform original research but research of real value to the local community, and it was an experience that should serve them well in their future science courses. More importantly, it was memorable -- these kids will never forget the time they went out into the woods and actually tried to catch ticks!" he said.
The students also took advantage of other opportunities off campus, beginning with a leadership retreat at the Princeton-Blairstown Center. Later in the summer, a tour of Spanish Harlem in New York City allowed them to experience the heritage and culture that they explored while focusing on Latin American literature and immigration in their coursework. They also visited the Franklin Institute science center in Philadelphia.
Rising senior Brigita Roemer and rising sophomore Jawann McBeth, both of Ewing High School, discuss McBeth's work at the end-of-summer research symposium, which helps students burnish their presentation skills.
In addition to becoming familiar with Princeton's campus, the group took tours of Lafayette and Muhlenberg colleges in Pennsylvania, while the rising seniors also visited Drew University and the Stevens Institute of Technology. Muhlenberg and Stevens are among the many colleges and universities around the country where members of the PUPP class of 2009 will continue their studies. Others include Princeton, Columbia University, New York University, Wake Forest University, Kenyon College, Franklin and Marshall College and Wesleyan University.
"One of the greatest strengths of PUPP is that the summer institute provides academic and social experiences that truly challenge the students," Hammer said. "They need to adjust to the rigor of the summer institute, the level of independent thinking and the work ethic that is now expected of them, and to the experience of being surrounded by other, equally-bright individuals. PUPP is a lot like college in that sense -- the students come into a new academic and social environment that challenges them in ways they have not previously been challenged and provides an opportunity for them to find the answers to some very important questions about their own abilities, goals and priorities."
PUPP students are supported by Princeton undergraduate teaching assistants, local educators and staff from the University's Program in Teacher Preparation. "To be a part of a program where everyone is so highly invested in the success of these students is truly something special," said Sean Hammer, a 2008 Princeton alumnus and biology teacher at Ewing High School who taught a PUPP course this summer.

text: Last month, I've found out it was possible to change the number of pages available for the printer users where I study. I've told about it to the administrator, which already knew about it, and since there were many other things to worry about, they simply ignored it. They were promising to migrate to CUPS and Pykota since november. (They've told me this then, because I couldn't print using Linux systems, only Solaris, which I did not accept.) Last Wednesday, I've decided to write a hack that would allow people to transfer pages, without this security problem. The administrators suspended my account, and claimed it was not a right, but a privilege. Now, my hack is quite ready (except for some authentication decisions), but it's kinda useless, unless for my learning. I'm going to claim my rights in some higher degree, instead of discussing with the administrators using e-mail (with copies to every class list).

I sure do hope reverse psychology works this time.

By Sandra Priest/Pontotoc Progress
After many months of review by the United States Postal Service, the decision has been made to keep Ecru Post Office.
After thorough review, the USPS made the decision that there was enough mail volume coming through to warrant keeping the post office open.
Hours will be minimally reduced, with the opening time being cut back only by one hour. New hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Saturdays will remain unchanged at 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The blue boxes out front will still be picked up at the same times. The change in hours should become effective in late January or early February.
This announcement was made to a crowd of concerned citizens at last week's town hall meeting during which USPS Representative Dana Atmos addressed the issue.
"The postal service has been losing mail volume after 9/11, after the anthrax scare, and especially with internet usage going up," Atmos said. "There hasn't been enough revenue coming in to support infrastructure."
The ongoing situation has resulted in discontinuance studies in small towns across the nation to determine actual workload hours and how post offices can most efficiently serve customers.
Surveys mailed to households in Ecru were uses to get feedback from the community. Of the 307 surveys sent back in by residents 281 preferred keeping Ecru Post Office open with possible realigned hours. Only 6 of those responding said they would not mind if it closed entirely. Ecru resident Judy Mitchell was pleased with the decision to keep the post office open.
"We're so glad. We didn't want to go through having to get our address changed. It would have been a hassle for a lot of people." Mayor Tom Todd agreed. "The most important thing I wanted to hear at this meeting was that our post office is not going to close. I'm happy to hear it."
