A guy came up to Dapper dancing wildly. He was high on psychedelics.
"I'll be at the kiddie stage later," the guy said. "I'm getting a drum circle started. It's gonna kick ass! You should come."
Dapper wished him luck.
It was beginning to get hot early on the festival's second day. Any time under a tent at ACL is restorative, even before the heat begins sucking sweat from pores like a dehydrating vampire. Dapper ducked into the WaMu stage as The Lee Boys were chanting "I can feel the music" over bottom heavy funk made dirty by a pedal steel guitar. Dapper felt it too and began shaking his body with each gut thumping guttural call from the seven string bass getting pounded by a slap happy big man on the stage. They were all big men. The veteran guitar player, the vocalist yelling "Praise You God," and most of all, the drummer they called the Big Easy, all bigger than life singing hallelujah songs to the WaMu tent revival.
"We're a big family, we're all a big family here," yelled the guitar player. The crowd cheered. "Collared greens, fried chicken, we need us a family dinner." The crowd agreed. The vocalist chimed in, "and family supports it self. They buy our CDs!" The crowd was less enthusiastic, but the funk went on.
Dapper was feeling the spirit and brought it with him outside into the Texas swelter where Man Man was heating up. No mentions of God were coming from the neo-glow war paint tribe on the stage but their experimental electro wail project seemed tapped into the same concept, like an ecstatic fire ritual around a blaze of computer technology. Dapper ripped off his shirt and danced in circles like a desert spirit caller when someone passed him a peace pipe that made the broken synthesized hooks and cacophonous but repetitive drum breaks melt into something reminiscent of a time when sounds, rhythms, and smoke signals were the only forms of mass communication. Man Man was weird and twisted and Zappa-esque, but the difference was this beat, this rhythm, this beat that grabbed onto Dapper like a rip tide, flipping him, twisting him, pulling him skyward, dropping him to the ground and flying over him with soothing chaos like the colors echoing from the faces of the bearded guys making the music. They were experimental in their sound and fundamental in their soul.
It was getting hot, really hot. Sweat was stinging Dapper's eyes; back to the tent, to cool off. There was a band there from Senegal. A sparse crowd, too. Dapper was surprised at the low turnout. If a festival in the center of Texas is going to fly a band from the coast of Africa to play an afternoon slot on a side stage even though no one in Austin knows who they are, there must have been a reason.
Two men stood in front of Dapper wearing green baseball caps that read "Senegal" on the back. He tapped one of them on the shoulder.
"Are you from Senegal?"
The two men turned around and smiled. Their teeth looked like pearls on a black dress, huge and bright against deep toned skin. They both nodded looking tall with pride. Dapper resisted the urge to ask, "Do you know the guys in the band?" It's an odd piece of human nature that assumes everyone from the same place knows each other. They turned back to look at the three brothers known as Les Freres Guisse taking the stage.
The band all had the same pearl on a black dress smiles as the guys standing in front of Dapper. One of them picked up a see through guitar, an electric fret board with the shape of a frame outlined in metal. He said hello to the crowd and Dapper said hello back. Immediately the three brothers broke into honey dipped harmony that interwove sound like air was weaving a giant bread basket to hold all the notes. The people moved their feet in time to the drummer's left fist thumping a giant gourd while his right hand sang each skin tap with hits that flowed through the music like the taste of fresh fruit. The guitars' gentle triplets swayed like women's hips and the songs danced out from behind the pearls like secrets told under the sheets. Dapper felt his heart draw open its blinds as the Senegalese family sang lyrics in a language he didn't speak but somehow seemed to understand perfectly.
"Some people say we play blues music," one of them said. "But I tell them, this is where blues music came from." And it was true, except this was music before it was turned blue by the chains of Colonial Slavery. It was the sound of liberation. It was the sound of Dapper's dancing becoming the sound of Senegal's dancing with Texas becoming the sound of possibility for a world where faith in a higher power has become synonymous with belief in an unlimited Gross Domestic Product. These brothers somehow turned the art of joy into a song. When the drummer hit his gourd so hard it split in two, the crowd gasped. He laughed and pulled another giant shell from beneath the kit and continued the way a heart might just skip a beat because of excitement.
"You're country's music is some of the most beautiful in the world," Dapper told the man in front of him. Perhaps another generalized assumption about a country, but pearls are often found in the same sea. "Thank you," said the man, shaking Dapper's hand while the band broke into a chorus of "Nelson Mandela". Dapper considered how strange it would be to sing such a hopeful song about an American political leader. "Mandela" bellowed through the crowd like a peace mantra in a way that "Bush," "Cheney," or "McCain's" harsh syllabic finality could never ring. It occurred to Dapper, though, that Obama, at the very least, might sound good in a chorus.
Dapper's open heart led him off the grounds, down to the campus of the University of Texas. He'd been invited to a taping of the Austin City Limits television show—the impetus for the three-day festival's name. He met a friend outside of the studio where they were sitting against a wall waiting in line. His friend had recently had a vision of a goddess.
"She was beautiful," his friend said. "At first, I was freaking out a little. It all felt a little too intense. I felt like I was floating out of my body. She was there, though, kind of guiding me along. She just kept whispering, it's all just thinking, ride with it and I knew I could trust her. She was beautiful."
"Who was she?" Dapper asked.
"She was the Mother of Creation."
The friend stood up. He began singing:
You say I'm CRAY-ZAY!
The doors opened and the line went inside. Dapper and his friend rode a capacity elevator the three floors up to the studio. There were long tables filled with rows of free Shiner in plastic cups. The tables with the honeycombs of cups looked like giant beer pong games. His friend grabbed one cup for each hand and they sat in the second row.
There is a fake tree in the back corner of the ACL studio. A camera perches behind it on a raised platform. On television, it appears that it is shooting the stage through leaves in a park. It is really just a small piece of a tree, though, enough to create the illusion. Behind the band, there is a façade of the city skyline. Dark, non-descript buildings contrast with bright images of the school bell tower and the Capitol building. On television, this shadow contrast creates a perspective transformation of two dimensions to three.
The towering room was filled with dry ice smoke to soften the appearance of the lights. The seats surrounding Dapper and his friend filled up first because they were the best view and, also, the most likely to get seen on television. Two women sat next to Dapper. One leaned over to him.
"Best seats in the house," she said. She was probably his mother's age and had a Tennessee belle accent that Dapper thought sounded sugary cute at any age.
"Because they're next to us?" he asked.
Her face warmed a little and she gave him a tap on the wrist.
"Watch out, now, my boyfriend's the sound engineer."
Dapper's friend had already downed the two beers and was showing it. He leaned over Dapper and started spitting the kind of polite game reserved for friends' mothers.
"He must be pretty trusting to let a couple of fine young ladies like your selves sit all alone over here."
The other woman chimed in. "Well aren't you a sweetheart."
"I'm very mature for my age," Dapper's friend said. "And charming. I'm going to get another two beers for myself. Would you two like any?"
The ladies declined. Dapper's friend tripped climbing over the couple in the row in front of them.
The house lights went down and bulbs in the fake city skyscape went on. The studio audience cheered while Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse strolled onto the stage looking like lounge show undertakers draped in black overcoats. The rest of Gnarls Barkley followed. They tore into their set, Danger Mouse playing simple chords in repeat on a church organ, Cee-Lo singing like a fallen preacher, and the band looking like Saved by the Bell nerds translating tricky album production into a live show. A boom camera craned around the stage like a curious emu checking out the action without getting too close to get eaten. At each song's end, camera's whirled onto the audience and Dapper always played it cool, cheering like a fifteen-year-old girl whose boyfriend Chet just scored the winning touchdown for Riverside High. He made sure not to look at the camera so that they would look at him screaming his brains out.
Ha ha ha! Bless yo' soul.
By the time the band made it to their obligatory crowd pleaser, Cee-Lo's voice had turned from its aged-sipping-scotch liquid croon into a rail drink rasp. He'd blown his voice pretty hard and had stripped into a soaking undershirt. The lights, so elegantly laced over the band like a television smoke screen, now made the sweat drops leeching on the man's bald head look strange and large like make-up on a corpse. The towering ceiling and calculated sound dampeners that turned each note crisp and intelligible for at-home audiences had ulterior effects that noticeably dropped the energy dead at song's end. Without the hums, buzzes, and feedback distortions that link one number to the next, the band couldn't rely on the momentum they'd built through the show. The singer seemed strained to compensate and his lungs were taking a beating. Still, by the time he was screeching I remember when, I remember when Dapper was on his feet with the rest of ACL, moving in rapturous enjoyment of Gnarls Barkley's guiltiest pleasure that chased the band like a specter of one hit wonders lurking around each recording they'll ever make.
You say I'm CRAY-ZAY!
After the show, the Tennessee woman invited Dapper and his friend to see her boyfriend's sound room. It was filled with tiny television monitors and a giant digital sound board that looked incomprehensible like the Tibetan language. They watched playback of the show, thanked the crew, and pretended to look lost and confused as they left trying to "accidentally" walk into the taping's after party. The staff pretended to look helpful and oblivious as they clearly guided Dapper and his friend out of the doors.
They walked out onto the campus. They sat on the quad, staring at the giant Texas state Capitol building.
"What would you do if it all collapsed?" Dapper's friend asked.
"If what collapsed?"
"All of it. This country. All of our lives."
"Jesus, it's not that bad."
"We're like 7 trillion dollars in debt. Shit's collapsing. People just keep thinking someone'll fix everything. What's keeping it from all falling apart? This is gonna be worse than the Great Depression. I've thought about it a lot. I'd shoot someone if they attacked me."
Dapper lay back in the grass and looked at the moon.
"Just because it's not the best case scenario," Dapper said, "it doesn't mean it has to be the worst."
"Yeah, but are you prepared, Dapper? What if it does?"
"Look, man, what are you scared of? Are you scared for the world, or are you scared to die?"
"There are worse things than dying."
They were quiet. The sound of the cars on Guadalupe blended with the crickets in the campus trees. The capitol dome lit up in the sky the way it did in the studio façade. Dapper started singing.
You say I'm CRAY-ZAY!

The weather is warming up and this is a great recipe to cool down! We love to make s'mores in our studios! Our Lil' Chefs have made them so many different ways, from s'mores dessert pizzas to s'mores pancakes! However this one has become my favorite!
This recipe is easy to make and you can make a batch ahead of time and leave them in the freezer and complete the last few steps just before serving. We recently made these at my daughter's 12th birthday party and they were met with rave reviews!
Indoor S'mores Sundaes
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 5 whole graham crackers)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Quick Chocolate Sauce (or use Hershey's chocolate syrup)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons whole milk
For the graham cracker crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, cinnamon and a sprinkle of salt together in a bowl. Firmly press the crust into muffin tins to make individual crusts. Top each crust with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Press the mini marshmallows into the ice cream, covering the scoop completely. You will have 4 s'more "domes."
Freeze at least one hour.
For the quick chocolate sauce: Immediately before serving, heat the broiler to low. Toss the chocolate chips with the milk in a ramekin or small bowl and microwave 30 seconds, stir until smooth and set aside. Place the s'more domes under the broiler until marshmallows brown, about 30 seconds. Watch them constantly as they burn easily. Place each s'more on a plate and drizzle with the chocolate sauce.

Cadbury launches chocolate-based beauty products
Cadbury is set to test the willpower of Britainâs dieters by tempting them with pampering products which smell like three new flavours of its Dairy Milk Bliss bar.
The confectionery giant has teamed up with beauty brand Anatomicals to make truffle bath creme, hazelnut exfoliating wash and toffee body butter â the first time Cadbury has ventured into the health and beauty sector.
However, anybody thinking about taking their sweet tooth to the next level will only be able to get their hands on the limited edition products from either John Lewis department stores or online fashion shop Asos.
Bliss bars hit shelves in September last year and its bathroom range is out to put its slogan as âthe worldâs most pampered chocolate barâ to the test.
Cadbury says the venture aims to attract young females and support the luxury theme of the Bliss brand.
The barâs television commercials depict a diva who enjoys the finer things in life and is known for saying âI donât do buses, darlingâ and âIâm soooo specialâ.

Defense Secretary Panetta Discusses Tough Negotiations over Lockheed F-35 Fighters

No contract after nearly a year of negotiations
Negotiations between the U.S. government and Lockheed Martin over the $400 billion F-35 Lightning II program have been tense.
Defense News
reports that one deputy program manager said that the relationship between the Department of Defense and Lockheed is "the worst I have ever seen."
After that comment was made, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stated, "I don't know that I would portray it in those terms. These are difficult negotiations, as they always are when you're dealing with the amount of money and the complexity that's involved with the Joint Strike Fighter."
Defense News
reports that last week Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter put his support behind comments made by Air Force Major General Christopher Bogdan. Bogdan had harsh words for Lockheed Martin's failure to sign a contract with the Pentagon for 32 F-35 fighters after almost a
year of negotiations
However, Panetta does not agree that the relationship between the U.S. government Lockheed is the worst he's ever seen.

"I don't share it, number one, because … I don't know the history of just how much has gone on in the past," Panetta said. "But at least from what I have seen at this point, my view of it is these are very tough negotiations, but they aren't a reflection that either side has given up or thinks that the other side, you know, is in a more difficult state at all."
Panetta is also reportedly unhappy that Congress won't be back in session until after the elections in November. An initial round of budget cuts in defense spending is set to begin in January. With Congress out of session until the elections are over, there is no chance of avoiding or delaying the defense spending cuts.
Panetta said, "I'll take whatever the hell deal they can make right now to deal with sequestration. The problem now is that they've left town and all of this has now been put off into the lame duck session."
"We need stability," he said. "You want a strong national defense for this country? I need to have some stability. And that's what I'm asking the Congress to do: Give me some stability with regards to the funding of the Defense Department for the future."

Climate Impacts to America's Hunting, Fishing, and Wildlife Heritage
Read More >>
Conversations from the High Plains
Read more >>
Sportsmen and women understand that clean water is important to mankind and wildlife alike.
Since 1936, National Wildlife Federation has worked to unite anglers, hunters, hikers, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts from all walks of life to protect wildlife and wild places.
Wildlife and Energy Development in the Powder River Basin
Hunters and anglers are a core constituency to preserving our conservation legacy. Since 1936, National Wildlife Federation has been at the forefront on issues concerning hunters and anglers, protecting and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat for all species. Whether it was passage of the Pittman Robertson Act in 1937 that still funds state fish and game agencies today, or the Wilderness Act of 1964 which has helped provide some of the premier hunting and fishing opportunities in the world, or the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts of the 1970s, or the "Open Fields" provision in the most recent Farm Bill that provides federal dollars to state agency for hunter access to private lands, or our continued work today, NWF has teamed up with hunters and anglers to make a positive difference for wildlife habitat. What started as a cartoonist's dream continues as an organization that takes on the tough issues and has the resources and passion to push them over the finish line.
National Wildlife Federation works with hunters and anglers on:
Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development is a coalition of more than 500 businesses, organizations and individuals dedicated to conserving irreplaceable habitats so future generations can hunt and fish on America's public lands. SFRED is represented by everyday hunters and anglers who recognize the system is broken and have shouldered the responsibility of fixing it. SFRED works to reform the laws, regulations, and policies to ensure balance and respect for the traditions of the West, and fights to protect the rights of sportsmen to hunt and fish on public lands, now and for generations to come.
Vanishing Paradise
Vanishing Paradise is a coalition of more than 700 national, state, and local hunting and fishing organizations and businesses from all across the country that work to restore the Mississippi River Delta.VP works to reconnect the Mississippi River with its wetlands.

As victories go, the one by Cabrillo High over Jordan in a Moore League football opener Friday was huge.
The host Jaguars were minus head coach Jason Brown and offensive linemen Jacob Hines and Tanoa Seau, all of whom were ejected during a loss to Cypress a week earlier. As per CIF-SS rules, they had to sit out one game.
Cabrillo (1-4, 1-0) was down 13-0 at halftime to Jordan, tied the game 19-19 on Kaelon Price's 10-yard touchdown pass to Da'Morre Johnson - and Josue Galvan's PAT kick - with six seconds left in regulation, then won it 22-19 in overtime on an 18-yard field goal by Galvan.
"Like I told the kids, I'm overwhelmed at how they played above and beyond for myself and the two guys who were out," Brown said Monday.
"I told them, `You guys came together like I dreamed about.' They came through with possibly the biggest victory in school history.
"This was a storybook type of game because of how it ended."
One of the more impressive notes about this game is how Cabrillo managed to throw a blanket over Jordan's John Ross, arguably the most talented offensive player in the league. Ross, a wide receiver who also returns kicks and occasionally runs the ball, caught just one pass for 2 yards. He also ran the ball three times for minus-7 yards.
The Jaguars also were smart enough to sail all but one of their kickoffs out of bounds so Ross, a prolific return man, could not take one to the end zone. Interestingly, Cabrillo - perhaps accidentally - kept its final kickoff in bounds after tying the game 19-19.
It appeared like the Jaguars wanted to kick the ball out of bounds, as the ball was angling toward the sideline. It didn't make it, Ross fielded it over his shoulder and returned it 35 yards to Jordan's 45-yard line.
Brown gave kudos to the entire defensive unit, linebacker Justice Faaiu in particular.
Cabrillo is at Millikan this Friday to take on the Rams (0-4) in their league opener. Then it's Compton, Lakewood, Wilson, a bye week and then Poly in the regular-season finale. Brown, whose team played a difficult nonleague schedule, is hopeful this win can go a long way in putting his team in a prime spot when it takes on the Jackrabbits on Nov. 2.
"We want to get back to where we were last year, playing Poly for the championship," said Brown, who added his team can only get better. "I think we can shock some people. We have enough skill guys and talent."
Poly defeated Cabrillo 43-6 in last season's regular-season finale, the Jackrabbits winning yet another league championship.
Romain to return
Jordan's starting quarterback, senior Hudson Romain, did not play in the Panthers' 22-19 loss to Cabrillo Friday and hasn't played since suffering a shoulder injury against Santa Margarita in Week 1. But he did say during the game that he will be ready to play this Friday when his team plays host to Poly.

Poly makes statement?
How much of a statement did Poly High School make in its 61-0 rout of Compton in its Moore League football opener Friday night? Depends who's talking.
Quarterback Tai Tiedemann, who stepped in for the injured regular starter and passed for 220 yards and four touchdowns, all in the first half, had plenty to say - both for himself and his team.
"I was very embarrassed" by the one-sided losses to Narbonne and Bakersfield to finish a poor nonleague campaign, the junior Lakewood transfer said after leading Poly to victory in place of injured starter Eban "Ejay" Jackson II. "I wanted to make the statement I belong here and Poly is going to strive (to be outstanding)."
Poly coach Raul Lara likes the sentiment, but he sees things differently.
"It's not a statement," he said. "We're not trying to make a statement. Right now we've been embarrassed. Our preseason was horrible: 1-3 is not acceptable here at Long Beach Poly, so we're just trying to fix it.
"Sometimes people tell me it doesn't matter how you start, it's how you finish. And right now we're trying to finish proper, so we'll see. We'll see how it goes."
The Jackrabbits (2-3) looked fantastic in the romp at Veterans Stadium, rolling up 485 yards, 22 first downs and touchdowns on eight of nine offensive series - all despite a running clock that limited them to nine second-half snaps.
Tiedemann was sharp, and so were his receivers - the return from a two-game absence by Thomas Tucker, who caught two TD passes, was key - and running backs Manusamoa Luuga and Gerard Wicks both eclipsed 100 yards and twice hit the end zone. The offensive line was absolutely dominant.
The defensive unit, led by Jayon Brown (two fumbles forced, one returned for a TD, plus an interception), gave up virtually nothing.
Compton couldn't compete, and so Poly exited the game with as many questions as answers.
"Tai had a good night. It seemed he was on," Lara said. "Why? Because the guys are running great routes, they're catching the ball.
"Why? Because the line is blocking. Everything is coming together. But is that a Pac-5 (playoff-caliber) team we just played against? We can't get our heads real swollen.
"We still got a ways to go, I think."
Lara said he didn't "know where we are," but he could soon have an idea. Next up is Jordan, and it's Lakewood the week after that.
Cabrillo, the other team to watch, awaits in the regular-season finale. Those are the games that will determine if Poly wins another Moore League crown.
"All I know is now we've got Jordan," Lara said. "Jordan is going to be competing for the league, so we've got to be ready for them. And then after that we have another big one with Lakewood, so here we go.
"We'll see. I just hope and pray that we get better."

Griffins happy with results
The Los Alamitos High boys water polo team left the water this weekend pretty pleased with itself, finishing third in the competitive South Coast Tournament.
The Griffins' only loss of the tournament - and of the season - was a 14-5 drubbing by tournament champion, defending four-time CIF-SS titlist and top-ranked Mater Dei in the semifinals.
Earlier in the tournament, Mater Dei pounded Wilson 15-6 as part of its CIF-record 59-game winning streak.
"They are absolutely for real," Los Al coach Dave Carlson said of the Monarchs. "I think any team in any sport can be beat, but it's going to be tough for anybody to do it. I don't think any team is untouchable. But if somebody does beat them, it's going to take a really good team to play a really good game to beat them.
"We took two things out of (the weekend). First, we can be really, really good when we are at our best. The other thing we took out of it was that we are a long ways from beating Mater Dei.
"We are not where we need to be if we want a shot at beating Mater Dei."
Carlson was happy with the way his team responded after being taken to task by Mater Dei, coming back hours later to defeat Loyola in the third-place game.
"After being absolutely handled by Mater Dei, morale was down," he said. "But three hours later, we defeated a strong, physical and good Loyola team, the same team that we lost to during summer. I'm proud of the way the guys responded after a humbling loss to Mater Dei."
Carlson lauded the work done by Chandler Jarrells and Max Merrill, but was overwhelmingly pleased by the job goalie Luke Weiser did.
"He was consistently our best player," Carlson said of Weiser, who is arguably the area's top netminder. "He made saves that high school players shouldn't be able to make."
Los Alamitos (6-1), which moved up to No. 3 in the Division 1 poll, faces No. 5 Wilson today at 4:30 p.m. at Belmont Plaza Pool in a matchup of top teams.
"It should be ... a one-goal game that either team could win," Carlson said of today's game. "It's a good matchup of good teams. It's a big match for CIF Division I."
Locals make Team USA
Max Irving of Wilson High and Chandler Jarrells of Los Alamitos High have been named to the USA Water Polo youth national team.
The local duo will compete, along with their 11 other teammates, in the inaugural FINA Youth World Championship, which is scheduled for Dec. 1-9 in Perth, Australia.
The competition in Australia, limited to athletes ages 18 and under, will be preceded by a training camp in Singapore with the Italian national team from Nov. 21-28.
Irving and Jarrells, who are hoping to lead their teams deep into the CIF-SS playoffs, won't have to worry about any of their commitments because high school seasons end Nov. 17.
Pair to enter CIF Hall
Ron Massey of Jordan High and Debbie Fleming of Los Alamitos High have been elected to the CIF Southern Section Hall of Fame.
Massey, who coached the Panthers basketball team and was the school's athletic director, and Fleming, who coached tennis and was also an AD at the school, will be joined by eight others at the award presentation Oct. 25 at a luncheon hosted by the CIF Southern Section.

Humbert to Gahr
Mayfair High baseball coach Joe Magno has lost 2012 Suburban League MVP Greg Humbert to a transfer. The pitcher/catcher said "private family issues" made it necessary for him to transfer during the first week of school to Gahr.
Humbert will have to sit out the first 30 days of the season due to CIF transfer rules, but joins arguably the area's most talented returning roster at Gahr.
Humbert was 8-1 with a 1.66 ERA and hit .452 with 38 hits, 18 RBIs and 28 runs scored for the undefeated two-time defending Suburban League champions.
"I didn't even know I was transferring until the day it happened," Humbert said. "I am really going to miss my teammates, friends and coaches at Mayfair, but am really excited to be a part of a very talented team as well as a great group of guys.
"I am sad I had to leave, but I didn't have a choice in the matter."
Magno has guided the Monsoons to consecutive championships in his two years at the helm at Mayfair and was caught completely off guard by the move.
"We were terribly disappointed with Greg's decision, and when I announced that he has left us, my team was visibly saddened," Magno said. "Our kids have worked with Humbert for four years and for him to jump ship didn't sit well with our boys.
"Although we will miss Greg, (our) Mayfair kids will rise to the challenge. We wish him the best, but it's now time for his replacement to shine."
Humbert joins the likes of KJ Franklin, Andrew Encinas, Jaime Estrada and Edgar Morales for what looks to be the San Gabriel Valley League's early-season favorite.
"I honestly haven't seen much of Greg other than the bullpen he did the other day, but it's always good to get someone with the track record he had over at Mayfair," Gahr coach Gerardo Perez said. "He looks like he's going to help us on the mound, behind the plate and I've heard he can swing the bat."
Gahr duo decides
Gahr baseball players Jaime Estrada and Edgar Morales decided their futures in the last week.
Estrada committed to the University of Oregon. The junior shortstop had a remarkable sophomore year, hitting .462 with 37 hits, 26 runs and 30 RBIs.
Morales agreed to play at U.C. Riverside. The senior hit .418 with 38 hits, including 10 doubles, and drove in 20 runs. Gahr coach Gerardo Perez said Morales "was the most consistent and clutch player all season," during a season when the Gladiators went to the CIF-SS Division III semifinals.
"I am so happy for both Jaime and Edgar to have their school paid for and knowing that all their hard work has paid off," Perez said. "We ask so much of these kids in terms of time and effort and it means a lot to all of us to see that discipline and hard work pay off in a way that will affect their futures in such a positive way."

Digging for a cause
Crosstown rivals Downey and Warren will square off Thursday in their annual "Dig Pink" girls volleyball match, with proceeds going toward finding a cure for breast cancer.
First service is slated for 7 p.m. at Downey. It is the San Gabriel Valley League opener for both teams.

"THE BIG BANG THEORY" star Kaley Cuoco wants to be a married mom by this time next year. That's the REAL reason she raced to the altar for her surprise New Year's Eve wedding to tennis player Ryan Sweeting!
"Kaley and Ryan are already working on making a baby," a source told The ENQUIRER. "Actually, I think they have been for a while now."
Kaley, 28, and Ryan, 26, tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in front of 150 friends and family at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susanna, Calif., on Dec. 31.
Among the guests was "Big Bang Theory" co-star Johnny Galecki, whom Kaley dated secretly for two years.
The actress wore a bright pink Vera Wang gown for the nuptials, which began at 10 p.m., so she and Ryan could ring in 2014 as a married couple.
"Kaley wants a child in the worst way," said the source. "But she decided she wanted to have her baby as Mrs. Ryan Sweeting. That's why she threw together a quickie ceremony on New Year's Eve.
As The ENQUIRER reported in early October, Kaley – who plays ditzy waitress Penny in the CBS sitcom – was ready to get pregnant even before tying the knot.
Insiders said the actress gushed about having a baby while cooing over an infant at a fundraiser for the children's charity Shane's Inspiration in Los Angeles on Sept. 29.
Not long afterward, Kaley went on the Internet to deny rumors she was expecting.
But she also told reporters that it would be some time before she got hitched to Ryan, who earned just $23,900 playing tennis last year compared to Kaley's $350,000 paycheck per episode.
"We are too busy to make wedding plans," Kaley insisted. "In a year we'll start talking about it."
Clearly, there's been a change of plans – and now the source says the happy couple hopes to ring in next New Year's with a brand-new bundle of joy.

In today's economy, lack of higher education generally results in a life of low-wage work. The consequences to the individual, family and community can be devastating. By 2018, Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce projects that 67 percent of Washington State's job openings will require a postsecondary credential. We have work to do!
The Puget Sound's poor attainment levels portend negatively for our region's economic future because talented people from developing economies are increasingly able to find good jobs in their home countries. What would happen to the Puget Sound economy if the migration of talent here ground to a halt? This is a very real threat.
The region's inability to develop its own "human capital" is our greatest challenge. It is our top civil rights and social justice issue. Those left behind are disproportionately nonwhite and low income. Affluent families can ensure their children get a good education. Many opt for private schools — in Seattle over 26 percent make that choice. Others opt for neighborhoods with good public schools, which, unfortunately, are a scarce commodity in certain subareas of the region.
The region's poor performance is neither acceptable nor is it inevitable. Demographics do not equal destiny, but they often do when the status quo goes unchallenged. The old models of education are outdated and simply won't generate the kind of results our young people need and deserve. New models of early learning and K-12 are needed, as are new approaches to boosting high school graduation rates and increasing the odds of successfully completing a postsecondary credential with labor market value.
Great results are possible. I say this because it is being done nationally in numerous communities from Harlem to Hillsborough and from DC to Chicago. It is happening here, too. Look at the improvement in WASL scores in both Mercer Middle School in Seattle and Crownhill Elementary in Bremerton (which had 100 percent of its 4th grade students pass the 2008-09 Reading WASL), as well as Renton's improved high school graduation rate. These proof points must become the norm. Parents and communities must expect excellence and the system must deliver quality.

Welcome to LCMM's School Family Pass Program
This new program provides each family in your school with a free family admission to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum good from May 25 through October 13, 2013. We hope that you and your family will enjoy visiting the Maritime Museum and will take advantage of the exciting educational opportunities that the museum offers: Visit Us!
Participation in the School Pass program is for students and their parents, as well as faculty and staff members and their families. The pass entitles each family to:
- One free family admission to the museum exhibits or special events – good any day from May 25 to October 13, 2013. The museum is open 10:00 – 5:00 daily.
- 10% Discount at the Basin Harbor Club's Red Mill Restaurant on the day you visit.
- Schools that have greater than 50% visitation at the museum will be eligible for a free Lake Champlain Maritime Museum Outreach program from October 2013 – April 2014.
How Does It Work?
Your school purchases family passes on an incremental fee schedule - the cost is proportional to the size of the school. With your enrollment, we will send to you enough Family Passes for each family and staff member. Parents will be asked to fill out a simple contact form so that we can monitor usage and keep families informed of special events and educational opportunities. The School Family Pass is good from May 25 through October 13, 2013. Daily educational activities are offered throughout the season.
How Do You Apply?
We recognize that schools are confronting serious time limitations and financial challenges. Many core programs, and anything that is considered extra, are being cut from school budgets. That is why we are making this offer directly to families through their school's parent organization. It is our goal to continue our educational mission, despite the time limitations and financial challenges facing schools, by making access to the museum and its programs even easier and more affordable.
We hope this is an invitation too good to refuse. Come and discover what's new this summer at LCMM. We want students to be able to bring their parents back to the museum following a field trip. We want teachers and staff members to use the museum as a resource in planning instruction. We want the families of our community to enjoy learning adventures with us. We want to build stronger relationships with our educational partners and to share one of the best days of your summer vacation. Visit Us!
To enroll your school in the School Family Pass program, or if you have any questions about the program, contact the Education Department at 802-475-2022. We look forward to hearing from you.

Srinagar, Sep 18 (UNI) Troops foiled yet another infiltration bid when they gunned down three heavily armed militants in Machil sector in Jammu and Kashmir, a Defence Ministry spokesman said today.
This was the second infiltration bid in the sector and fourth in the state during the past two weeks.
He said troops guarding the border noticed a group of militants sneaking into this side from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) in Machil sector yesterday.
When challenged and asked to surrender, the infiltrators opened indiscriminate firing and hurled grenades. The fire was returned and in the ensuing gunbattle three militants were killed.
Four AK rifles, one pistol and large cache of arms and ammunitions were recovered from the slain militants.
This was the fourth infiltration bid by the militants in this month and second since the commencement of the month of holy Ramzan on September 14.
Troops guarding LoC, in Baramulla sector killed four infiltrators soon after they crossed over to this side from POK on September 10 morning while four more infiltrators were gunned down by the troops in a fierce encounter ensued after they (infiltrators) sneaked into this side in Machil sector on September 11.
A senior Army officer had recently said that there are 5000 trained militants in Pakistan and POK camps, waiting to cross over to this side.
These militants, from different parts of Pakistan and POK besides some foreigners were trained in 52 camps still operating across the border, he added.
The officer said the level of infiltration from across the border has increased despite the fencing along the border.
He said nearly 278 militants had sneaked into this side by the end of August 2007 as per information gathered from different agencies.
Because of tight vigil, security forces guarding the border have foiled more than two dozen infiltration bids and killed about 60 militants immediately after their return from POK this year.
Altogether 100, along with their families, surrendered before the troops, mostly in Uri sector, after their return from POK to lead a normal life in the valley during the past two years.

CNB 942017Request Price
The CNB 94: A modern approach to the superyacht… For many years, CNB has demonstrated its expertise in the design and construction of large one-offs (Chrisco, Grand Bleu Vintage, Hamilton II, Only Now, Victoria T, Simeron, Spip to name but a few) as well as successful semi-custom ranges… We remember the CNB 73s and then the CNB 77s and 70s designed by Philippe Briand, as we also recall the magnificent CNB 76s designed by German Frers. Subsequently, thanks to its mastery of its production facilities, its unique manufacturing equipment and methods, CNB is able to offer luxury yachts in fiberglass and carbon composite at reasonable, controlled prices. Today, we are proud to present the CNB 94, a fusion of high technology and our experience as yachtsmen. On the "drawing board", our ambition was to push the boundaries, to go even further to create a yacht that is happy to steer for distant horizons and can be handled by a small crew despite its ninety-two feet. With her elegant, contemporary design, her sleek lines and her admission of light, the 94' will appeal to yachtsmen wishing to acquire a luxury performance yacht that is comfortable and easy to handle for magnificent extended offshore cruises. A boat that sails well but also provides excellent accommodation, the 94 is designed by Philippe Briand, designer of the Bordeaux 60, CNB 66 and CNB 76, one of the world's leading naval architects, the winner of many prestigious international awards. "The 94 is well-behaved but exhilarating, thanks to the skills of CNB. This is a new yacht born from the same heritage as the Bordeaux 60, CNB 66 and CNB 76. She shares and maximises certain characteristics such as maneuverability, performance, ease of maintenance, the large panoramic saloon…" Philippe Briand The CNB 94 is offered with several fit-out and interior design options to satisfy the wishes of each owner. The most advanced technologies in terms of pollution control equipment are installed. Lastly, for enthusiasts of uncompromising performance, the 94 is also offered in an all-carbon version, from hull to masthead. CNB is thus offering much more than a semi-custom, but rather a unique yacht, designed to accommodate the choices and desires of each of its owners.More…5
CNB 762017Request Price
Seaworthy, elegant, efficient, comfortable and easy to handle, the new CNB 76 embodies 25 years of CNB excellence. With her superb proportions and a unique elegance signed by talented, worldfamous naval architect Philippe Briand, her lines perfectly integrate a raised saloon, ideal when sailing as well as at a mooring. The layouts are as harmonious as they are comfortable and truly functional. Designed by designer Jean-Marc Piaton, they can accommodate a professional crew whose presence and activity shall by no means disturb the owner's and his guests' privacy.More…391
CNB 662017Request Price
The CNB 66 redefines the possibilities of a 20-metres yacht. The flowing and well proportioned lines drawn by Philippe Briand conceal exceptional volume, exploited with all our expertise. Inside and out, elegance combines with simplicity through maximum integration of equipment and fittings.Taking on the family resemblance, the CNB 66 reflects the values that make the reputation of CNB yachts on all the world's oceans: quality, elegance and performance. The CNB 66 was designed for freedom in comfort and privacy. We designed the hull lines with the triple objective of increasing the volume, performance and seaworthiness. Design features such as the beam, the aft chine, the vertical stern… are the ingredients that enable achievement of this optimum. The deck is organised to facilitate operations, relaxation, security of guests and access to the sea. Yes, the CNB 66 will sail fast and far in complete safety. With the design of the CNB 66,we wanted to eliminate constraints and give the word freedom a nautical definition… The CNB 66 is first and foremost a CNB, from which it takes the name, the heritage and the style, a blend of tradition and modernity. It fits between the legendary Bordeaux 60 and the CNB 76. In terms of design, we naturally wanted to make it the little sister of the 76, from which it adopts the seaworthy, elegant and contemporary general style that we wish to give to this new CNB generation.From the Bordeaux 60 it inherits the intimate, warm and friendly features, with a large square table, its vast adaptable sofa, and its galley open to the saloon. But the 66 is different, it is unique: a new era for CNB Yacht Builders.More…101
Lagoon 6202017Request Price
Designed by the architects Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) in association with the Lagoon R&D department, the Lagoon 620 is an innovative solution to the needs of today's cruising yachtsman : Strength, comfort, performance and large choice of layouts. The 2012 version of the Lagoon 620, with interiors designed by Nauta, makes her an even more luxurious and comfortable yacht. In the dining room, the settees have been entirely redesigned, as well as the ceiling, enabling more effective indirect lighting, and it now includes the option of installing adjustable blinds on all the wide vertical windows. On the starboard side, the master suite has also been substantially modified, with a washroom now placed aft on either side of the cockpit access stairs, making room for a large cupboard space in the bedroom. The forward starboard cabin, now a real V.I.P. suite, also benefits from this change due to the volume freed up by the repositioning of the master washroom. Whether in its 4, 5 or 6 cabin version, the Lagoon 620 is now offered with new Ambiances created by Nauta for the "large" Lagoons: complete interior layout packages elegantly incorporating wood finish, upholstery, inner liners, and more…More…29

deleted contents of /tmp
Hi all, I accidentally deleted the contents of the /temp directory on my normal user account and things started going slowly, got some errors too. When i came out of KDE and tried to load it up again the splash screen gets to the loading peripherals part then returns me to the CLI. KDE still loads using the root account though. Any ideas on how i can fix this problem?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
AFAIK, there is nothing mission critical in /tmp. However, do NOT delete anything in there while the system is running, or you will experience what you have just experienced. Just reboot and it should be fine. Technically you can even clear the /tmp directory on boot or shutdown. So you can clear it if you want.
Actually, there are 2 critical directories in /tmp .
They are .ICE.unix and .X11.unix
These two directories must also be owned by root:root with chmod 1777. Just recreate them, no need to reboot the system.

We have blogs for many different interests at TheOaklandPress.com/blogs. If you have an interest in blogging for The Oakland Press, contact community engagement editor Monica Drake at firstname.lastname@example.com. Below are recent entries in some of our blogs:
Frye On The News
Online editor Steve Frye says, almost right on schedule, the news cycle seems perfect for the latest round of gas price stories:
"We've had the election, then the fiscal cliff, then gun debate, and now gas prices. In between, sure, there have been sensational gasps that dominated for a day or two or even a week: the crazed ex-LAPD officer, the South African double-amputee Olympian, the poop cruise, and the power outage at the Super Bowl.
"I'm sure something will happen at the Oscars to take a day or two of our relentless coverage of the world.
"But gas prices, rising toward $4-a-gallon very quickly, are something we all pay, more than just when we race to work or school, but also we pay when we shop, whether at bulky grocery stories, downtown merchants or online. Those products need to be moved and transported. ... It's a story everyone has an opinion on and it's never a kind opinion. But unlike cigarettes, we can't quit buying gas."
Beyond The Track
News editor and NASCAR blogger Matt Myftiu questions the newsworthiness of Danica Patrick's Daytona 500 pole position:
"See, maybe I'm just a bit more evolved as a person than many others, but I long ago stopped seeing Danica Patrick as some chick who races. Sure, she dresses up for awards shows and (erotic) ads for GoDaddy on occasion, but over the past two years I've become accustomed to viewing Danica Patrick as a racecar driver. Period. Not a lady, female, woman-type driver; just a driver.
"Just like any other driver, male or female, if she does good she deserves congratulations and if she does poorly by her own fault she deserves criticism. But nowhere in this commenting on her do I really care about the fact that she is a woman.
"So I have to admit that it's a bit puzzling to see the non-motorsports media's reactions to her winning the pole for the 2013 Daytona 500."
Searching For The Happiness
Author Wendy McCance has finally had her fill of the Master Cleanse, aka "The Lemonade Diet."
"I know this is disappointing news. I'm sure it would be so much more inspiring if I wrote that the cleanse was easy, I look and feel terrific, I could drink the master cleanse concoction all day long and I wish to continue forever living this way.
"I have to say, I'm sure every now and then I might do the cleanse for a weekend. The first few days were eye-opening. I felt really good and had a lot of energy. The problem was that after a few days, even though I was eating some fruits and veggies, the first half of each day was easy, but by dinner time, I was famished. I had to eat some real food. Yesterday was the worst. I tried so hard to chug that drink whenever I felt hungry, but I was miserable by dinner time. I decided to go big or go home and really ate a meal. I had pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy and peas. Thankfully I didn't feel ill afterwards. I did feel full and content though."
Oakland County Moms
Students can win a school assembly with Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford through video entries about leading a healthy lifestyle:
"Video submissions should creatively answer the question 'What would you do to make Michigan healthier?' and include the student's perspective on how themselves, their family, teachers and classmates can live a healthier life. Students should explain how they would communicate healthy lifestyle choices with their families and fellow students."
FURthermore -- Tails From The Front
Veterinarian Kerry E. McKinney presents observations on pets and their people. His latest observation is that clients sometimes say the strangest things:
"During an exam of a mature Rottweiler with dermatitis and a particularly powerful doggie odor suggesting his last bath had been from his dam shortly after birth the owner left no doubt about his dog-owning acumen with the following statement,
" '...Well, I know you're not supposed to give a Rottweiler a bath because it's bad for their skin.'
Here I questioned, 'Oh?'
"He then assured me there were several studies showing Rotties have special glands in their skin and never need bathed. Sigh. I think I made a comment about not being able to believe everything you read online and that regular grooming and bathing with a moisturizing shampoo made for dogs would considerably improve his pet's 'houseability.' "

Plenty with claims in a wide-open contest. Attraction Ticket is up 8lb having landed a double on the Polytrack last month while Livia's Dream and Whipcrackaway attempt a longer trip after placed efforts on their latest starts.
