JERUSALEM (Jul. 27)
The Knesset rejected last night a Tami Party private member's bill for elections for a new Knesset next October, instead of the scheduled 1984 date. The rejection stemmed from a tie vote on the proposal and under Knesset rules, such a vote means a proposal does not pass.
Tami had wanted the proposal to be discussed immediately, without waiting the required 48 hours between submission of a proposal and debate on it. Failure of passage meant that the proposal must wait 48 hours and by that time, the Knesset will have left on its summer vacation.
Meanwhile, a rift between Menahem Savidor of the Liberal Party faction of the coalition, who is the Knesset speaker, and Deputy Speaker Meir Cohen-Avidov of Herut, which led to the Deputy Speaker's resignation, was patched up today.
The event which brought about the rift, which split coalition ranks, was the sudden and unexpected introduction and passage Monday night, at midnight, of a controversial bill aimed at curbing the right of archaeologists to dig in areas where there might be Jewish graves.
That vote took place after the Knesset was on the verge of ending its session following eight hours of debate on various bills,. Most MKs had left the Knesset building in the belief that the agenda had been completed.
At that point, Cohen-Avidov, who was chairing the session, announced that Menachem Porush of Aguda Israel would introduce his private member's bill, "The Law to Protect Gravesites." Herut Whip Ronnie Milo rounded up party members still in the Knesset building and the Porush draft proposal was accepted and sent to committee.
But Savidor declared that Cohen-Avidov, as his deputy, had known "full well" that the Porush bill had been placed on yesterday's agenda, not that of Monday night, and that the deputy speaker had no right to change the agenda by moving the Porush bill up a day early. The deputy speaker is a co-sponsor of the Porush measure.
Savidor then said that if his deputy's reason for changing the agenda was that he did not know the Porush measure was on yesterday's agenda, "he is not telling the truth." Cohen-Avidov, declaring he had been grossly insulted by Savidor, immediately announced his resignation as deputy speaker.
At a reconciliation meeting arranged by Avraham Shapiro of Aguda Israel, Savidor said he had not known, when he made his charge against his deputy, that the deputy had come late to a Knesset presidium meeting at which a decision had been made to delay a vote on the Porush bill and presumably did not know about the decision.
Savidor apologized for calling his deputy a liar and Cohen-Avidov withdrew his resolution. But Savidor insisted he had not withdrawn his charge that presenting the Porush measure as his deputy had done was an "unfair and unparlimentary ambush."
The issue may be referred to the Supreme Court for a ruling,though experts on parliamentary rules said the Supreme Court was virtually certain to decline to involve itself in Knesset procedure and would tell the Knesset to put its own house in order.

FORMER Dancing On Ice champ Sam Attwater is romancing his FOURTH girl from the show.
The ex-EastEnder – who won the ice-skating contest in March 2011 – is dating pro Vicky Ogden.
Sam – Leon Small in the soap – was FIRST said to be dating Dancing On Ice partner Brianne Delcourt but fans accused them of faking the relationship to boost ratings.
THEN he was snapped snogging another of the skaters – Alexandra Schauman, from Finland.
NEXT Sam romanced Dancing On Ice co-star Chloe Madeley, daughter of TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. But that relationship broke up in January last year.
A friend of Sam and Vicky said: "They have been seeing each other for a few months and things are going really well for them. They are both very happy."

"The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Life)" (Berkley), by Chris Hardwick: There are nerds. And then there are Nerdists.
Chris Hardwick is here to help the former transition to the latter.
The stand-up comedian, TV host and brains behind the mega-popular Nerdist podcast, Twitter feed and blog provides a road map to self-actualization for the pocket protector set in "The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Life)."
"If you are a part of (the) now-glamorous Nerd Herd subculture but still feel like you're waiting to claim your gold cup at the top of the social food chain, then I am here to help you," Hardwick writes. "I shall attempt, through the primitive form of communication known as `writing,' to help you milk your Nerdy attributes into a delicious and useful pulp."
Let's start with a few definitions.
According to Hardwick, a nerd is "someone who homes in on a topic to an almost quantum detail, much of the time at the expense of healthy social interaction."
A Nerdist, on the other hand, Hardwick writes, is "an artful Nerd," someone who "doesn't just consume," but "creates and innovates."
In "The Nerdist Way," the "Web Soup" host, relying on techniques that have worked in his life, encourages readers to leverage their nerd-tastic attributes into getting the most out of their lives.
Yes, the book is written by a nerd for nerds, but really, all of the self-improvement methods Hardwick suggests would work for almost anybody looking to manage anxiety, get healthier and more physically fit, or advance his or her time management skills.
And it's funny. Hilarious, really.
Nearly every serious point is followed by either a clever pop culture reference or one of Hardwick's trademark self-deprecating cracks.
"Every year on my birthday I start a new playlist titled after my current age so I can keep track of my favorite songs of the year as a sort of musical diary because I am a teenage girl," he writes in a section about maintaining a positive outlook and structure in one's life.
A self-help book has never been so funny.
Or potentially beneficial - to nerds and garden-variety humans alike.

Hi guys! How was your weekend? I know it's Tuesday and I'm a day late, but I took a vacation day yesterday so today feeeeels like Monday. It's awesome. Anyway, I mentioned Friday that Miguel and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary by going on a mini-trip. We wanted to go somewhere A) close by and B) affordable, so we settled on Farmington, PA.
Farmington, PA is approximately 90 minutes south of Pittsburgh. The main reason I wanted to go was because I wanted to see Fallingwater (which I'll talk about later) but there are other things to do as well.
We left Sunday late-morning and went straight to the Laurel Caverns. The caverns go underground and you can even go cave repelling, but we settled on the hour-long tour. The tour was pretty neat—I had never been inside a cave before—and it was fast paced (long, drawn-out tours drive me bonkers).
Miguel with his eyes closed 😀
During the cave tour, the weather outside was pretty gloomy but, lucky for us, the weather cleared up and once the tour was over it was nice and sunny outside. We wanted to take advantage of the weather so we went and visited Ohiopyle. Ohiopyle is a state park with hiking trails and white water rafting—plenty to do and see.
It was beautiful! I'm definitely a city gal but getting away and spending time in the outdoors is SO nice! Between the cave tour and the hiking we had both worked up an appetite. Farmington is a pretty small town (or at least there isn't a whole lot IN the town) so we decided on a local restaurant with a few menu options. I got the turkey burger and fries, and the waitress convinced us to get dessert.
Both were delicious!
After dinner we wanted to go see a movie at the local movie theater but, by the time we were done, most of the "good movies" were done showing for the night. So, we went back to our room and watched The Blind Side (it was on TV). LOVE that movie—does anyone else like that movie?
The next morning we woke up and headed out to our early-morning tour of Fallingwater. In case you haven't heard of it, Fallingwater is a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann's (the owners of the old department store). The goal of the house was to combine unique architecture with nature, and it does just that. It was breathtaking!
I snuck a couple photos because I'm a badass—I couldn't resist! There was a waterfall and you can hear it from every room in the house. After our tour we ate some lunch at the Fallingwater cafe..
Chicken salad wrap with a fruit salad—MMMM.
..and then headed home! It was a really great weekend and we both agreed that we'll be back (most likely to spend more time at Ohiopyle!)
Q: How was your weekend? Have you ever heard of or been to Fallingwater?

The little row house on the corner of East Capitol Street and 56th Place SE is long gone, replaced by a pair of stylish brick and wood townhomes. They tower over a block that once held the dreams of a young mother and her two sons in a land of fear and long odds. This small stretch of asphalt, not far from the Anacostia River and old RFK Stadium, home of the Redskins, was the center of Brenda Leftwich's world.
It is where she would catch the bus in the morning darkness at 6 to head to the first of the two jobs she juggled each day to make ends meet.
And it is where she kept her boys, Kevin and Byron, safe amid the violence and drugs that ravaged the perilous streets of Southeast D.C., the high-crime quadrant of the nation's capital that thrust the city to its dubious title of murder capital of the United States during the early 1990s.
She preached constantly to her boys about the dangers that lurked outside and lured unsuspecting children into harm's way, 5 miles yet light years from the marble tourist destinations of downtown Washington.
"They knew right from wrong because I taught them right from wrong," Brenda says with a broad smile her family and friends know well.
Her baby, Byron, was barely 3 when his father left home. He was six years younger than Kevin, who came to see himself as the family protector.
Their mother's persistent warnings stayed with the siblings as they progressed through elementary and middle school a block away, underscored by the staccato soundtrack of the street when night fell.
The three of them would sit inside their house and hear firecracker-like pops echoing nearby in the neighborhood shadows.
"All you would hear is gunfire," says Brenda, 58. "That was a seven-day-a-week thing. We were at home, and sometimes we would just crawl under the bed or get down behind the chair or something. It might not have been that close to us, but it sounded like it was."
Though their mother was often gone for more than 12 hours each day — overseeing the kitchen at Catholic University and helping at a nursing home — Kevin and Byron knew to come right home after school. They stayed inside, though they longed to play ball or hang out with their friends on the street.
"I always talked to my kids. I explained to them about the drugs and alcohol and all of it all the time," Brenda says. "They'd be, 'Oh, no, here she goes again.' But I just didn't want them to go down that road because I knew it was so easy for that to happen to kids.
"And I used to tell them, 'You can be whatever you want to be.' "
Even a quarterback in the National Football League.
• • •
Byron Leftwich is 29 now and easy to spot with his hulking 6-foot-5, 250-pound frame. But he also stands out for the traits he shares with his mother: the same big smile, the same easy laugh, the same optimistic outlook that has carried him through hardship and challenges.
It helped him get through a bitter breakup in 2007 with the Jaguars, who made him the seventh pick overall in the 2003 draft out of Marshall and their starting quarterback until injuries cost him the job in 2006. And it buoyed him when he became Atlanta's apparent starter seven weeks into the 2007 season only to see his hopes dashed by a serious ankle sprain.
Today — after regaining his health in 2008 as a backup with the Super Bowl champion Steelers — Leftwich brings his upbeat manner and experience to the mix in the battle for the Bucs' starting job with longtime understudy Luke McCown and rookie first-round pick Josh Freeman.
"I'm trying to work my butt off, and I'm going to help Josh because I was once in his shoes," Leftwich says. "I told him, 'I know you want to play.' Luke wants to play. The other Josh (Johnson) wants to play. We all want to play, and we just have to go out there and have a healthy competition, and the best quarterback will win."
But in one respect, Leftwich feels he has already won. He gets paid to play the sport he has loved since his childhood, when he would run up and down 56th Place SE in rough-and-tumble games of street football.
And he has survived — literally — while so many of his neighborhood friends were not as fortunate.
"I have friends who are lying in a box because they were shot or killed," he says. "And I have friends who just didn't make it, and I saw with my own eyes when they didn't make it. It wasn't a good sight."
But Leftwich did make it, and he knows who to thank: the woman he talks to on the phone three or four times every day.
"I'm so blessed to have my mother in my life and for her to see where life has taken me now," he says. "My part of D.C. was a bad place in the '80s and '90s, and I grew up in the middle of it.
"And I know the only reason I'm where I am now is because of her — the values she instilled in me as a little kid, the way she went about her life and set an example for me and my brother, the way she showed you how to carry yourself and act when situations got tough.
"The way she taught me to never give up."
• • •
Despite their tenuous environment, the brothers had plenty of fun. It usually involved football.
Outside on weekends, or when their mother gave the okay, they played a sport on the street out front called "Contact," a version of touch football except the touches featured full-body slams into parked cars and pavement to stop the ballcarrier cold.
"You didn't tackle, but you could hit," Leftwich says. "You could hit or blindside someone as hard as you wanted, but you just couldn't take him to the ground. That's how I learned to play. And I have to give credit to Kevin."
His brother let him play in the games with the big boys but cut him no slack. He'd body slam Byron, then order him to shake it off.
"Since our dad wasn't around, I wanted to make him tough so nobody would bother him," Kevin says. "Nobody ever did."
Byron never broke any bones.
"But I did get a cut once on top of my eye sliding into the bumper of a car," he says, laughing.
Football wasn't contained to the street.
"They broke up just about everything I had in the house," Brenda says. "I'd come home from work, and they'd done broke the lamp, something on the table. So I had to say, 'No more ball in the house!' "
Soon, playing basketball became another passion. When his mom moved the family a few miles away, over the Maryland line — hoping to get her sons into a safer area — Byron insisted on attending Evans Junior High, across from his old house on East Capitol. He wanted to stay with his friends and play on the basketball team. So Brenda arranged for him to go to Evans, where he excelled in sports and math.
When it came time for high school, he again decided to stay in D.C., attending H.D. Woodson, and football once again became his focus. He started out as a so-so receiver, but one day, coach Bob Headen saw him pick up a ball and hurl it down the field.
"What happened was, JV practiced at one end, and varsity practiced on the other end. And I just happened to look down and see the JV," says Headen, now retired. "I saw this tall kid throw the ball and said, 'Wow, who was that?' I told them to throw it back to him and have him throw it to a running back. When I saw that next throw, I said, 'Come here, kid. I want to talk to you. I want to bring you up to the varsity.' "
Leftwich became Woodson's starting quarterback that season. In no time he was a local prep sensation.
"Byron was a smart kid and a real student of the game. He wanted to learn everything," Headen recalls.
He wound up at Marshall, earning a degree in management information systems off the field and succeeding future first-round pick Chad Pennington on it. He passed for nearly 12,000 yards and 90 touchdowns and etched himself in Thundering Herd lore on Nov. 2, 2002, at Akron.
After taking a hard shot to his left shin in the first half, Leftwich was rushed to the hospital for X-rays, which revealed a stress facture in his tibia. But with Marshall down 27-10, the senior hobbled onto the field in the third quarter, like the kid who always got up off the unforgiving asphalt of 56th Place. The crowd responded with a huge ovation for his show of courage and grit.
Leftwich promptly hit a 41-yard pass but couldn't walk on his own. So in a display that earned an ESPY nomination for "Best Moment," two of his linemen picked him up and carried him downfield for the next play, then several others. The drive ended with a touchdown, but his team fell short 34-20.
In the crowd, Brenda Leftwich was there, as always, tears in her eyes and soaring with pride.
• • •
The mean streets are no longer part of her life.
When Byron joined the Jags, his first move was to tell her to buy a big new house wherever she wanted. She settled on a spacious, modern home in a quiet, tree-lined subdivision in Accokeek, Md., an hour's drive from her old life.
"Even when I was 5 or 6, I would say, 'Mom, I'm going to buy you a house one day,' " Leftwich says. "I didn't know how I'd do it. I just watched TV and saw all these nice, big places. So the first thing I did when I signed, I bought her that house. 'Cause I saw my mother work two jobs and bust her tail, and I saw it every day. I would see her be tired, but she'd get up and catch that bus so she could take care of her two knucklehead sons.
"That's why getting her that house is the best I've ever felt about anything my whole life."
Kevin, who works in home improvement, visits often from Laurel, Md. But Brenda is frequently on the move, attending many of Byron's NFL games. And though she doesn't need to work anymore, she chooses to.
"I'm driving a school bus," she saye says. "I love it. I'm around kids, and it gets me out of the house."
On a recent afternoon, Brenda got out of the house to visit her old D.C. neighborhood with a reporter. She surveyed the block, which has had a face-lift like other parts of Southeast D.C. Two curious young girls approached, and she told them she once lived right in that very spot, that her son played on the same street. And he grew up to be an NFL quarterback.

TOWN OF BELOIT, Wis. - Federal prosecutors charged a Denver woman on Friday with kidnapping her half-sister's 5-day-old baby boy from a Wisconsin home. The charges were filed just hours after police discovered the infant in a storage crate outside an eastern Iowa gas station, alive and well in single-digit weather.
Kirstin Smith faces life in prison if she's convicted of kidnapping Kayden Powell, who disappeared overnight Wednesday.
The newborn's parents reported him missing from a Town of Beloit home in southern Wisconsin where the family was staying, early Thursday morning. According to an affidavit accompanying the kidnapping charge, Smith is the mother's half-sister - the infant's aunt - and had come to visit the family in Wisconsin. She left Thursday morning, and several hours later the parents reported Kayden missing.
Police arrested Smith at a West Branch, Iowa, gas station on Thursday morning on an outstanding warrant from an unrelated case in Texas. The baby was not in the car, although Smith had baby clothes, a fake pregnancy belly and a stroller with her, according to the affidavit. Hundreds of officers in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, meanwhile, began searching possible stops on her route.
West Branch Police Chief Mike Horihan was searching the area around a BP gas station off Interstate 80 — about 500 yards from the Kum & Go station where Smith was arrested — when he heard cries that led him to a closed storage crate alongside the building. The baby was inside the crate, swaddled in a blanket, but healthy and responsive.
West Branch is about 180 miles southwest of the Town of Beloit.
"I had tears in my eyes," BP station manager Jay Patel said, recalling his reaction to the police chief telling him that the infant had been found. "It's good news but it's sad, too."
Milwaukee FBI Acting Special Agent-In-Charge G.B. Jones said the effort now is "clearly focused on reuniting mother and child and the rest of the family members with the child."
It's unclear how long the newborn was outside in the cold, Jones said. The temperature was about minus 10 Thursday night in the town and only in the single digits when the child was found. The infant was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, Chief Horihan said.
The baby's great-grandfather, Brian Bennett, said he was "surprised" the child was in good condition.
"It's funny he lived that long outside. A miracle, I guess," Bennett, 68, said. "They were just lucky they found him."

A LORD has described Brighton and Hove as a city "plagued by drunkenness".
Clive Brooke, Baron Brooke of Alverthorpe, West Yorkshire, said the city was full of drug and alcohol problems. Lord Brooke, who has a residence in Brighton, said the city's accident and emergency rooms spend the weekends overwhelmed due to the amount of drinkers.
He made the comments while discussing Duncan Selbie, the Government's chief executive officer for Public Health England, during the third day of the House of Lords Queen's Speech debates.
Lord Brooke said: "Mr Selbie was formerly the chief medical officer for Brighton and Hove, a city much plagued at weekends by drunkenness.
"Its major hospital's A&E department can be inundated and sometimes almost overwhelmed from Thursdays to Sundays by people suffering from alcohol or substance misuse.
"Therefore, he knows from personal experience what he is talking about."
Brighton and Hove City Council have disregarded the claims – saying council initiatives are tackling drug and drink related issues.
Tom Scanlon, director of public health at the council, said: "In Brighton and Hove we have had high alcohol and substance misuse related health problems for many years, affecting not just young people, but all generations."
He added: "For the last two years we have seen a fall in alcohol related hospital admissions, and a drop in alcohol use by teenagers.
"This is good news for the city and encouraging for all of us engaged in what is a difficult area – a key part of our local economy and a significant public health challenge.
"On top of this in recent years the numbers of drug related deaths has fallen which helped the city relinquish the unwanted title of drugs death capital of the UK. At the same time drug users are turning their lives around through support provided across the city."

Grace College honored their sophomore pitcher Christopher Valentine's performance at the Prague Baseball Week with a great article on their website. They posted some quotes by the Team AIST Baseball Coach Frank Sims and talked about the history that Team AIST made at the tournament this year.
"Team AIST consisted of 16 players from 11 different schools around the nation. Before this year's championship, they had taken home three second-place finishes and one third-place finish. Harvard University's Matthew Vance (short stop) also became the first American to win the MVP of the Tournament.
Valentine's and Vance's awards were presented by Haim Katz, the President of the International Association of Baseball (IAB)."

CHURCH/ Communion for the remarried: Vatican opens door to reform via annulments
An important statement by the head of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, the CDF, has reaffirmed existing church teaching on not admitting to the Eucharist Catholics who have remarried without first annulling their marriage.
But in the article in the Vatican's official newspaper, Osservatore Romano, Archbishop Gerhard Müller also opens the door to widening the grant of annulments in acknowledging that many couples nowadays enter marriage without a proper understanding of it as a permanent, binding union.
The 4,600-word article (English translation here), which was clearly written with the agreement of Pope Francis, has dampened speculation growing in some quarters that next year's bishops' synod on the family would agree to end the exclusion of the remarried from receiving Communion.
Shortly before that synod was announced, a German diocese had sought to implement its own new policy relaxing the ban — and was pulled up by the Vatican, which made clear that any changes needed to be agreed by the Church as a whole (see CV Comment here).
The issue came up frequently during the last pontificate. In 2007 Pope Benedict noted that the issue "represents a complex and troubling pastoral problem, a real scourge for contemporary society, and one which increasingly affects the Catholic community as well." In 2012 he said "the problem of divorced and remarried persons is one of the great sufferings of today's Church" to which there were no "simple solutions."
At the October 2012 Synod on the New Evangelisation, many bishops said they were looking for better ways of upholding the permanence of marriage while at the same time enabling those whose marriages had not lasted to feel part of the Church. Some pointed out that the breakdown of marriage in western culture means that increasing numbers of Catholics are barred from the Eucharist while their children grow up in households where receiving Communion is not the norm, presenting obstacles to evangelisation.
Pope Francis told reporters on his plane back from Rio de Janeiro in July that the next synod's exploration of a "deeper pastoral care of marriage" would include the question of divorced and remarried Catholics, adding that the area for reform was church law governing marriage annulments. Such problems, he said, showed a general need for forgiveness in the Church today, adding: "The Church is a mother, and she must travel this path of mercy, and find a form of mercy for all," the pope said.
Archbishop Müller's letter clarifies that an appeal to God's mercy doesn't justify admitting the remarried to Communion. While acknowledging that a "case for the admission of remarried divorcees to the sacraments is argued in terms of mercy," such an argument "misses the mark" in regard to the sacraments, since the "entire sacramental economy is a work of divine mercy and it cannot simply be swept aside by an appeal to the same."
"An objectively false appeal to mercy also runs the risk of trivializing the image of God, by implying that God cannot do other than forgive. The mystery of God includes not only his mercy but also his holiness and his justice. If one were to suppress these characteristics of God and refuse to take sin seriously, ultimately it would not even be possible to bring God's mercy to man."

Talks between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and challenger Abdullah Abdullah have broken down, and Abdullah is likely to pull out of next week's presidential runoff, a person with knowledge of the talks told the Associated Press on Friday.
An announcement could come as early as today but more likely Sunday, said the person, a Westerner who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private.
Abdullah, who was once Karzai's foreign minister, put forward several conditions for the Nov. 7 election to be credible, but talks between the two men and their supporters over the past few days broke down Friday, the person said.
The runoff became necessary after widespread fraud in the first-round of voting in August resulted in thousands of Karzai's ballots being invalidated.
Typhoon hits capital, forcing 100,000 to flee
A powerful typhoon crashed into Manila today with pounding rain and strong winds, causing a massive power outage, downing trees and bringing fresh floods to areas still partially submerged from a recent deadly storm.
More than 100,000 people sought shelter in five provinces east and south of Manila in the path of Typhoon Mirinae on the main Luzon Island. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
President says don't forget Stalin's horror
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned Friday that Russians had lost their sense of horror over Stalin's purges, and called for the construction of museums and memorial centers devoted to the atrocities, as well as further efforts to unearth the dead.
He cited a poll that showed that 90 percent of young people could not name victims of the purges. Millions of people were killed under Stalin as a result of forced collectivization, deportation, imprisonment and party purges.
U.S. to expand use of military bases
The U.S. ambassador and three Colombian ministers on Friday signed a pact in Bogota giving U.S. personnel expanded access to military bases in the drug-producing country, a deal that Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has called a threat to the region's security.
Foreign Minister Jaime Bermudez said the 10-year deal restricts U.S. military operations to Colombia — alluding to fears expressed by leftist leaders that it would make Colombia a base for asserting U.S. power in South America.

Man receives death in torture slayings
The convicted ringleader in the 2007 carjacking and torture slayings of a young Tennessee couple was sentenced to death Friday.
Memphis native Lemaricus Davidson, 28, was convicted Wednesday for the slayings of Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, 23. Davidson showed no reaction after jurors concluded four hours of deliberations and announced the sentence in a case that raised racial tensions and inflamed Internet bloggers because the victims were white and the defendants are black.
Davidson's brother, Letalvis Cobbins, 26, of Lebanon, Ky., was convicted in August for the same attack and is serving life in prison without parole. Two other defendants from Kentucky are awaiting trial.
Denver: James Dobson, 73, the voice of conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, will no longer host its flagship radio broadcast and is cutting formal ties with the organization that he founded more than 30 years ago, the evangelical group said Friday.
Atlanta: The Rev. Bernice King was named Friday as the first woman to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the civil rights organization co-founded by her father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
France: Former President Jacques Chirac, 76, was ordered Friday to stand trial on corruption charges dating to his time as mayor of Paris.
Israel: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday cautiously endorsed the U.S.-backed efforts to limit Iran's nuclear program through shipments abroad of its enriched uranium.

Facebook's Latest About-Face
(Originally posted on the ACLU of Northern California's technology blog, Bytes and Pieces.)
Facebook, hardly a stranger to controversy, set off yet another firestorm recently when it changed its Terms of Use. The previous terms of service explicitly stated that Facebook's license to use user-created content expired as soon as the user deleted the content or cancelled her account:
You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.
The new terms, however, removed this sentence, suggesting that Facebook retained a license to user-created or uploaded content forever, whatever the user might do. This small change triggered a storm of outrage, eventually leading Facebook to reverse course and withdraw the new Terms of Use.
Permanent License?
Facebook presented the change as a simple attempt to clarify the previous terms with no practical implications on its treatment of data. Moreover, privacy settings would still "trump" anything else even according to the new Terms of Use.
Still, these changes could have had long-term implications, granting Facebook a permanent license to share your content with anyone who could see it when it was last visible, even if you later decided to delete it or cancelled your Facebook account entirely. Even if Facebook didn't actually abuse that potential, the possibility of future abuse would still exist. And while, as Facebook said, you would still "own" the content, at some point the difference between ownership and eternal irrevocable rights become rather blurry.
Ultimately, the issue with Facebook's new terms was one of control. The old terms made it clear that, as between Facebook and a user, the user was the one who retained official control over her own content, and could delete it any time she chose. The new terms turned that understanding on its head: Facebook, not the user, was asserting the right to keep information even after the user "deleted" it.
Users Speak, Facebook Listens
But this story has a happy ending: in response to complaints by Facebook users, Facebook has withdrawn its new Terms of Use and reinstated the old version. The reinstated Terms aren't just a victory for Facebook users; they are a victory by Facebook users. If users work together, voices will be heard, and companies and lawmakers will respond.
So keep working. If you are a Facebook user, join the "Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" Group and tell Facebook that you want control over your information. Push other companies to give you the same rights. Tell lawmakers that online privacy is important to you. And keep working with us to update privacy law and practices so that they aren't left behind as technology evolves.
Of course, the old terms Facebook reverted to don't include the restriction to privacy settings. The new terms were actually an improvement, but the uproar of the community got Facebook to revert back to a worse policy. Hopefully only temporarily.
"At some point the difference between ownership and eternal irrevocable rights become rather blurry."
Really? If I submit an article or story to a magazine, and they publish it, can I later retract it, and the magazine will go out and destroy every copy of their magazine for me? I don't think so.
The rights I gave that magazine are irrevocable. Eternally. But I still own the content if I wish to submit it elsewhere.
Not blurry at all.
- February 26, 2009
If I submit an article to a magazine it is very clear that the magazine is printed and could be around in some way or another for years. I still have legal recourse to stop them from publishing it in the future, depending on the contract and rights that I gave to the publisher as to ownership of that content
That is not true when I create a page or profile of my own on a website that hosts that content. Following you logic if I create a website and later decide to take down the site I have to assume that the hosting company will own the rights to my content? Not true!

Rich Butler had a number of dream-come true moments in his baseball career, including signing a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays , making his big-league debut with the Jays, hitting his first major league home run and touching up all-star pitcher Roy Halladay for a round-tripper
These days, Butler is getting to check off one more item on the to-do list: run a baseball camp in the area where his family roots run deep.
This week, Butler is conducting the first annual Butler Baseball Elite Camp in Upper Island Cove. the home town of his wife, Jackie, who recently accepted a permanent job in the area. But his connection with Conception Bay North goes beyond his spouse.
The 39-year-old grew up in East York, Ont., but his father Frank is a native of Butlerville, just a few kilometres from Upper Island Cove. Butler and his brother Rob, who also played for the Jays and won a World Series with the team in 1993, spent many summer days in the area while growing up.
Now Rich Butler is back for another summer after finally establishing a camp that's been in the planning for years.
"I had been wanting to start something here 10 years ago," he said.
But his job as an instructor at the Home Run Baseball Academy, which he operates with Rob in Ajax, Ont., took up most of his time.
"I was going 12 months a year, seven days a week," he said.
But with Jackie and their daughter, Carrie Daisy, having moved to Upper Island Cove, Butler said he will be spending much more time in Newfoundland and hopes to make a permanent move in the near future.
"I'm going to be here for a month at a time or two months at a time. It's perfect. Now, I can come here and build it," he said of the camp, which began Monday.
Butler had previously been in contact with Scott Adams, a member of the Conception Bay North baseball executive, about bringing a Butler Baseball camp to the region. Adams, along with others like Scott Mercer, has helped foster the minor program in the region.
"To grow, you need people like Scott Adams and Mercer," said Butler.
"With Butler Baseball, it's a perfect fit."
Since his arrival in the province, Butler has been making the rounds.
He has been in Butlerville and took some cuts with young softballers. And he recently attended the provincial bantam AA championship game between the C.B.N. Bulldogs and the Gander Pilots.
"I was amazed at the excitement and the crowd. It was awesome," said Butler.
"Baseball as a whole in Newfoundland has really taken off."
Butler was an undrafted 17-year-old when he signed with the Blue Jays in 1990.
"I knew it was going to be tough," he said.
"I only started learning real baseball when I started pro ball."
His started his climb to the top in 1991 in the Gulf Coast League. The next year, he moved up to A ball and the Myrtle Beach Hurricanes, where he played with other future major leaguers Alex Gonzalez, Chris Stynes and Paul Spoljaric.
He said the minor-league experience is close to that depicted in Bull Durham, the movie about the often-zany exploits of players on a team in the single A Carolina league.
"You have your quirky guys. You have all of these different personalities and characters," said Butler. "They fight each other, and do weird things."
He recalls one time when he, Alex Gonzalez and Stynes crept into their home stadium in Myrtle Beach under the cloak of darkness and removed the tarp during a rainstorm, flooding the field.
"We did the sliding thing ... when the cops came over the hill, we snuck back out," he said.
"They never did find out who did it."
When Rob was winning a World Series with the Blue Jays, Rich was toiling for the Knoxville Smokies of the Southern League, Toronto's AA affiliate.
He said the energy and the excitement from the Jays' back-to-back Series wins in 1992 and '93 was felt throughout the organization.
"We all celebrated," said Butler. "From rookie ball to AAA. We all sat together watching it on the televisions."
Because of an assortment of injuries, including a banged-up shoulder that cost him nearly two years, it took Butler nearly seven years to get to the majors.
He made his professional debut with the Blue Jays in 1997 against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium.
"I still remember not feeling my feet as I was walking out into the stadium and seeing the crowd," he said. "It was a dream come true, but at the same time it was frightening. It's almost like I'm outside myself looking at myself."
His first major league hit came on Sept. 9, 1997 off Anaheim Angles pitcher Ken Hill.
Butler appeared in seven games with the Blue Jays in 1997, and during his stay in Toronto was locker-mates with seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens.
"He always called me 'son.' I just said, 'Yes Mr. Clemens.'"
That winter, Butler was left unprotected in the expansion draft and was taken by the Tamp Bay Devil Rays in 1998.
There, his locker room next-door neighbour with one of his baseball heroes, Wade Boggs.
"He was always talking baseball," Butler remembers.
It was with Tampa that Butler hit his first career home run off Scott Eyre of the Chicago White Sox.
"It was an inside fastball, and see you later," said Butler.
For Butler, there was one big difference between the Blue Jays and the Devil Rays.
"Playing on your home turf and being Canadian, there was something extra special about Toronto," he said.
Butler believes his track record speaks for itself, and his program should help the players in C.B.N.
"We ran a really good program in Ontario, probably one of the tops in Canada," he said.
"They're going to benefit so much. I really work them out and polish their skills, all through hard work."

After they're successful road trip last week, the Sixers return home tonight to take on the Milwaukee Bucks at the Wells Fargo Center. Not only will they return with the swagger of a three-game win streak under their belts, but they'll also have the extra boost of Spencer Hawes having his U.S.A. headgear back to help celebrate Veterans Day. You may recall the NBA asked teams not to rock the red, white, and blue duds over the weekend up in Canada.
7:00 tip from South Philadelphia. The Sixers look to make it four in a row. Tonight's contest kicks off a lengthy homestand that continues on Wednesday against Detroit, Friday against Utah, Sunday against Cleveland, and finished up next Tuesday against Toronto.

In memory of Shalvin
It's a year to the day since the Prasad family lost their beloved Shalvin.
His body was found burnt on the side of a road in Kingseat.
The months have been hard for the Flat Bush family and the murder trial for the two men accused of burning him alive is still to come.
"It still hurts as the first day he left the house," older brother Pravin says.
"Shalvin was a very loud person, he used to listen to a lot of music. We feel it when we get home, it's very quiet."
About 150 people gathered at a park in Takanini on Sunday for a memorial soccer game to remember and celebrate the 21-year-old's life. Family and friends took on Shalvin's old social team from the Manukau United club, where he was a goalkeeper.
"Coming up to a year of his passing we thought what better tribute to give to him," Pravin says.
"He was absolutely crazy for the sport. We knew Shal was there in spirit, trying to look after that goal."
Pravin and their father Ravin also used to play soccer with Shalvin at the park every Sunday.
"So it was fitting that we actually went back and played there."
The Prasads came to New Zealand from Fiji in 1999, living in Manurewa before moving to Flat Bush in 2005. The family is tight-knit, with Pravin and his wife living with his parents in the family home.
"We always stayed together, even when I got married about three years ago," he says.
It's been a hugely difficult time for the family over the past year but that tightness has helped them through.
"We've looked after each other, made sure that everyone is there for each other when the support is needed."
The murder trial is due to start at the Auckland High Court on July 7.
Pravin says it will be tough but the family has broken it down into steps to make it manageable.
"We frequently sit together and talk about it.
"We see it as another challenge that we have to face. We've had a lot of challenges in the last year."
Two weeks ago the Prasads finished a year of Hindu rituals and prayers for Shalvin, and are thankful for the community support.
Pravin says the memorial soccer match was successful.
"Those people that came out and supported us gave us enormous belief that going forward we can rely on people out there to come and support us when July 7 comes around."
Shalvin was a foundation student at Botany Downs Secondary College before working fulltime in the Botany Pak 'n Save produce section.
Pravin says his brother was a lovable workaholic.
"He was always one of the first guys you saw. People remember him through that because he always had such a chirpy face and he was always smiling no matter what mood he was in."
He had a lot of friends and kept in contact with them, even if he hadn't seen them in years.
"That was something quite special about him, I find, because although he's not here now you can see people flooding into his Facebook page."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- If you back the opinion of hedge fund manager David Tepper that Europe's Central Bank will have to ease soon, go for Austrian, Dutch or Italian stocks -- bonds have done their dash.
That's the message from fund managers, as voices grow louder on the prospect of more QE from the ECB in June or July. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi triggered fresh speculation on easing when he announced at its policy meeting this month that the "governing council is comfortable with acting next time," after economic projections are assessed in early June. Expectations were further fueled by reports this week that Germany's central bank would support any stimulus measures by the ECB, while individuals such as Tepper have warned about the risks of inaction.
"The ECB, they better ease in June," said Tepper, who runs the $20-billion Appaloosa Management firm, at a gathering of investors in Las Vegas this week. "I don't know how far behind the curve (the ECB is) but I think they're really, really far behind."
Even without stimulus, many fund managers point to better investment fundamentals in Europe -- where valuations are below U.S. markets and economic data continues to improve.
The consensus is that sovereign European bonds have already reacted to stimulus expectations, with the gap between Spanish and Italian bonds vs. German Bunds viewed as insufficient to warrant jumping in. "European equities are a better investment with Germany at the vanguard," Interactive Brokers chief market analyst Andrew Wilkinson said. "At some point, growth in the periphery will resume, so there's still value to be had there."
Any European stimulus is not expected to float all boats, given challenges some nations face, including the effects of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. As such, managers suggested a targeted approach. "In Europe some countries will do well, and others will be lukewarm -- it depends where the markets are starting from," said ClearPath Capital Partners chief investment officer Brendan Connaughton.
He advocated a core investment such as the MSCI EAFE, the iShares EAFE ETF, the MSCI Europe or the iShares Europe ETF. "If you are going to use a core and satellite approach, the MSCI EAFE (which is predominately Europe) might be a more risk adverse way, and then surround it with specific countries in Europe," the CIO said. "Don't play sectors within countries as that becomes a security bet rather than a macro bet."
At a country specific level, he likes the Netherlands, Austria and Italy -- nations where equity markets are trading below their 50-day moving averages. "Germany is the lynchpin for Europe, but it's trading at 2% above its 50-day moving average so (stimulus) is already priced in, but Italy is below its 50-day moving average so it's an entry point investors might find more attractive," Connaughton said. "Spain is 3.13% above (this level) and for year, its market is already up 9.5%."

Mission soapbox derby postponed

It's no secret that tablet makers are having a hard time competing with Apple in this still nascent market. In fact, the iPad is selling so well that it surpassed the number of PCs shipped by any individual PC manufacturer over the last quarter of 2011 -- a telling statistic that gives some weight to all that post-PC talk.
Granted, Android tablets have managed to cut into Apple's market share, but there hasn't yet been a single device that could match the iPad on sales or popularity, or even come close. We were counting on 'Ice Cream Sandwich' to drive Android tablet sales, but almost five months into the OS' launch and very few tablets have received the update.
In spite of this grim picture, there are good options out there that for one reason or another haven't received as much attention from buyers. We've compiled a comparative table with what we consider are the best tablets either currently available or announced so far. We've also included metascores from our Product Finder engine and review links to help you dig deeper and narrow down your next purchase.

Very happy to receive two favourable reviews of the album this week!
We were featured in DRPR's "15 Albums You Should Not Miss" series. And then in the Prog Is Alive and Well blogspot, as one of the noted albums of the year.
From all major digital distributors:
CD Baby
And a hard copy of the beautiful CD with 4 page inlay is available from Amazon here.
Born from the restless vision of guitarist-composer Marcus Taylor, Kashgar is a unique musical statement. Eleven closely crafted tracks weave together jazz sensibilities, a classic rock edge and an exciting range of world influences. Together they create an encompassing and innovative album. From dramatic Indian rhythmic passages that invoke the Mahavishnu Orchestra to fiery guitar-Hammond exchanges that would fit comfortably in the mainstream of progressive rock, Kashgar presents a refreshingly innovative take on the future of jazz-fusion.
Summarising its two-year journey from inception to realisation, Taylor describes the album as a quest to blend the vital musical influences that have shaped him over the past two decades. "The early Santana records were probably the most defining reference point, particularly the snarling rock of Santana III and the jazz mysticism of Caravanserai. There's something about the interplay between the guitars, Hammond and percussion on those albums that provides an essential and distinctive quality I hoped to replicate".
To handle the challenging keyboard parts, Taylor conscripted versatile collaborator Ben Bell into the project. Having just finished his own solo album – Patchwork Cacophony – Bell was free to imprint his distinctive sound onto the record. A resourceful performer who is equally athome playing growling rock Hammond lines or jazz-funk leads, the material on Kashgar pushed him to coax new sounds from his rig. These include an unworldly synth that brings the lively fusion track Do Ya Me Oh La Too? to its dramatic conclusion and a lead tone on Graveyard of Empire that was fondly christened 'the demented oboe'.
Bubbling under Taylor's searing guitars and Bell's expressive keyboards is a tapestry of percussion that furthers the album's unique character. "I always liked the idea of being a secret percussionist hiding at the far edge of the mix," jokes Taylor about playing many of the lines himself, "but I began to take this aspect way more seriously over the past year". Tracks such as The Jackal, Two for Pujara and Graveyard of Empire are the clearest evidence of this intent with dense layers of percussion that underpin the melodic force of the guitars and keys. Notably, the instruments that Taylor employed are not necessarily common ones. A Turkish jingle-darbuka, a Brazilian pandeiro and an Indian naal stand out among the relatively more standard congas, shakers and electronic drums. Pressed on this eclecticism Taylor has a quick response, "Trilok Gurtu is to blame. He monopolised my mp3 player for about eight months straight and I can't seem to shake him. His range is astounding and beautifully distinctive".
In a further nod to the foundational Santana influence, most tracks see percussion jostling playfully with a standard drumset. British session drummer MattSnowden sets down the groove for eight of the eleven tracks, with American Jeff Willett taking up the final duties on Lahore Tikka House. The latter tune is particularly notable for its distinctive mix of Indian rhythmic lines with a jazz-rock feel. As the solo section builds, the lead guitar and Hammond embark on a characteristic call and response passage over a compulsive 5/4 groove. "I wrote that tune after a visit to Toronto's little India to buy a hand drum," laughs Taylor. "South Asian influences inspired much of this album, so it seemed fitting to name a song after one of Toronto's best curry houses".
A welcome side effect this keen interest in South Asian music, Lahore Tikka House is one of three tracks that contain 'konakol' or Indian spoken rhythmic parts. "It's definitely a technique that has helped me greatly as a composer although I'm still really working on my delivery". Notably, it's keyboard player Bell who joins in with the punchiest konakol lines at the crescendo of the opening track The Jackal, seemingly goading Taylor into unleashing a whirlwind solo on the guitar to round off the tune.
"That's a pretty good statement about how the album played out and how life works in general," smiles Taylor. "The music unfolded out of my vision, but it quickly took on its own momentum, tore up each and every plan I had, and became entirely and irrevocably dependent upon the contributions of others. The very last sounds on the album are Ben playing a gong he brought back from Vietnam. And that's just perfect, it's the way it should be!"
The new album from Kashgar is out now! Available from online distributors, here's an initial list:

Premier joins in Education Act debate, supports home-schoolers
Premier Alison Redford says her Conservative government is staying out of the homes of Albertans to allow home-schoolers to teach their children their own views about morality, ethics and religion.
The premier told a talk radio audience Thursday that an amendment to the preamble of Bill 2, The Education Act, "protects parent's' rights." The amendment was approved last night.
"The Education Act reflects a set of values around how we as Albertans believe children should be educated and the point is how they are educated. And the preamble to the Act says that we respect the fact parents have choice."
Redford was asked whether she was OK with home-schoolers teaching children that homosexuality is a sin.
"Parents are allowed to educate their children in whatever model of school they would like to and if they have particular views with respect to a number of issues and choose to educate their children at home as a result of that, they are entitled to do that," she responded.
She added parents can teach what they want.
Liberal Kent Hehr said the Conservatives have bowed to "right wing pressure groups"
"The Education Act now includes a controversial preamble full of coded far-right language that's out of synch with secular Alberta," he said in a news release.
He said the premier "obviously feels threatened" by the Wildrose party and has taken "a hard swing to the right."
The Wildrose said the amendment doesn't go far enough.
"Parents deserve the reassurance that their rights to decide what is best for their children's education will not be overruled by the governing party of the day," said Wildrose House Leader Rob Anderson..

ESET Spreading FUD About Torrent Files, Clients (welivesecurity.com) 60
An anonymous reader writes: ESET has taken fear mongering, something that some security firms continue to do, to a new level by issuing a blanket warning to users to view torrent files and clients as a threat. The warning came from the company's so-called security evangelist Ondrej Kubovic, (who used extremely patchy data to try and scare the bejesus out of computer users (Google cache). Like all such attempts at FUD, his treatise ended with a claim that ESET was the one true source whereby users could obtain "knowledge" to protect themselves. "If you want to stay informed and protect yourself by building up your knowledge, read the latest pieces by ESET researchers on WeLiveSecurity," he wrote. Kubovic used the case of Transmission -- a BitTorrent client that was breached in March and August 2016 with malware implanted and aimed at macOS users -- to push his barrow. But to use this one instance to dissuade people from downloading BitTorrent clients en masse is nothing short of scaremongering. There are dozens, if not more, BitTorrent clients which enjoy much wider usage, with uTorrent being one good example. Kubovic then used the old furphy which is resorted to by those who lobby on behalf of the copyright industry -- torrents are mostly illegal files and downloading them is Not The Right Thing To Do. But then he failed to mention that hundreds of thousands of perfectly legitimate files are also offered as torrents -- for instance, this writer regularly downloads images of various GNU/Linux distributions using a BitTorrent client because it is the more community-friendly thing to do, rather than using a direct HTTP link and hogging all the bandwidth available.

I am working on a robotics program for this year FRC and I cannot seem to get a double solenoid Open VI to work in my Begin VI.
When I map a single Solenoid 1 to the Solenoid Open VI i can get it to work without errors. If i try to do the same exact thing but name it Solenoid 2 i get errors, even if i match it up with solenoid 2 in the solenoid channel on the front panel.
I cant get anything to work with the double solenoid. I am very new to Labview but thought I understood it a enough to initialize a solenoid output but i am completely lost at this point. See attached Begin file.
You'll get better assistance if you post your question in the FRC Community.

William Henwood, who was running for the party in local elections in Enfield, was responding to comments by Henry that there is a poor representation of ethnic minorities on British television.
On his Twitter account, he tweeted: "He should emigrate to a black country. He does not have to live with whites."
Mr Henwood has now resigned his membership of UKIP.
A party spokesman said it was "mutually agreed this would be the best course".
"Mr Henwood's remarks about Lenny Henry caused enormous offence and UKIP MEP candidate for the West Midlands Bill Etheridge spoke for many in the party with his strong condemnation," added the spokesman.
The party has also started action to kick out two members who it says have links to far-right groups.
According to a UKIP internal investigation, one of the unnamed men had been a British National Party member from 2005 to 2010.
The second is said to have been a donor to the English Defence League.
It comes as UKIP leader Nigel Farage said a cross-party group set up to brand his party as racist were "creeps" who needed teaching a lesson.
The anti-UKIP campaign is to be launched this week amid increasing concerns the anti-EU party will triumph at next month's European elections.
Polls at the weekend put UKIP ahead of the Tories for the first time.
Mr Farage said: "I think the British public will take this extremely badly. I believe they want and appreciate the new choices being offered to them by UKIP on issues like immigration control, and will certainly not appreciate being branded racist for doing so."
He added: "This is like the incident between Gordon Brown and Gillian Duffy at the last general election writ large: this time it is not merely one person being slandered by one establishment party, but huge numbers of decent British people under attack, and all three Westminster parties levelling the charge of racism and bigotry."
But the controversy over Mr Henwood's comments is not an isolated incident for UKIP.
In another embarrassing episode, Andre Lampitt - who appeared in its European election broadcast - was suspended last week after it emerged he had posted racist and Islamophobic tweets.
Mr Farage has sought to play down the two incidents by calling the men a " few rotten apples".

NIK TURNER On HAWKWIND Trademark Dispute - "I Very Much Want To Proffer The Olive Branch Of Peace"
October 9, 2013, 3 years ago
In a new interview with music writer Joel Gausten, former HAWKWIND member Nik Turner opened up about his current trademark dispute with fellow original Hawkwind member Dave Brock over the rights to the band's name in the US:
"I don't like being involved in this sort of thing," he continued. "It's all sort of political. I'd just rather play music to people and make them happy and raise their spirits, raise their consciousness [and] raise their level of fun. People have a really good time because I have a really good time. I think that's what it's about, really. Exchanging energy, communication and entertaining each other."
Turner added that he wants to see both parties get along and get on with what's important – music."I don't have any enmity towards them; I wish them great success," he said. "I would like to play with them, if they would invite me to play with them or if Dave Brock would come down and play at my gig. It would be very good. I very much want to proffer the olive branch of peace."
Go to this location for the complete interview.
In an October 4th press release, the current Hawkwind announced the cancellation of their US tour, offering the following statement: "Dave was taken ill a couple of weeks ago. Doctors have confirmed that his condition is stress related, aggravated by the trademark dispute in the United States which could result in years of litigation."
Nik Turner was a member of Hawkwind during what has been considered their most commercially successful and critically acclaimed period for the band from 1970 to 1976. He wrote/co-wrote some of the group's most popular songs such as 'Brainstorm' and 'Master Of The Universe'. Hawkwind's 4th and possibly most popular album, The Space Ritual Alive In Liverpool And London, was recorded in 1972 (released in May 1973). Reaching #9 in the UK album charts and #179 in the Billboard Top 200, the double-record was recorded during the tour to promote the band's Doremi Fasol Latido (third) release. The Space Ritual show attempted to create a full audio-visual experience. The performances featured dancers, lightshow by Liquid Len and poetry recitations by Robert Calvert. Turner is excited to bring his version of the historic show to the US shores, recreating the magic once again!
In response to the recent Hawkwind controversy Nik Turner has issued this statement:"Dear Friends, Helpers Enthusiasts, Supporters, Inter-Dimensional Travelers, Intergalactic Aliens and All Sentient Beings,
I'm very sad to hear of rumours of Dave Brock's ill health, and wish him a quick recovery from whatever ails him. I'm greatly looking forward to seeing Hawkwind live in the USA, being aware as I am that they happen to be touring at the same time as my band. I wish them every success, and it would be nice if Dave and I could actually play together on a stage somewhere on our tours, just like the old days, bury the hatchet, work together. We have been very good friends in the past. I thought about Dave and me inviting Lemmy to join us, get a band together with us (sounds like The Blues Brothers) and do a world tour. Sounds like it could be fun too. Life is too short to worry about all the trivial, irrelevant bullshite. So let's all be friends, love one another. We're all different; let's enjoy our differences.
If you come to one of my shows, come say hello. Let's all work together in the spirit of what Hawkwind was all about: alternative culture, alternative values, peace and love, brothers and sisters, One Source, One Tribe, One World, One Mind, One Cosmos, One Love, Love to you all."
Turner is currently on tour in the US in support of his new solo album, Space Gypsy. Dates are as follows:
