Born in Ireland in 1951, Bob Geldolf had a couple of hits with his band the Boomtown Rats in the 1980s, but it wasn't until Geldof formed the pop charity Band Aid trust in 1984 that he became widely known. The trust raised $8 million for Africa famine relief through the release of the record Do They Know It's Christmas?. In 1985, Live Aid concerts were held in London and Philadelphia, raising an additional $48 million.
"Mankind at its most desperate is often at its best."
Early Life and Music Career
Famed rock musician, author and philanthropist Bob Geldof was born Robert Frederick Xenon Geldof on October 5, 1951, in Dublin, Ireland. Geldof is best known as the singer of the punk band the Boomtown Rats and for his political activism—particularly his anti-poverty efforts in Africa—with the organizations Band Aid and Live Aid.
Geldof studied at Black Rock College in Ireland and worked in Canada as a pop journalist before returning home in 1975 to form the successful punk-rock group the Boomtown Rats (1975-86). The group had a couple of No. 1 hits, including the single "I Don't Like Mondays." Their 1980 album, Mondo Bongo, was a hit and became part of the infant MTV network's video rotation.
Charity Work
Moved by television pictures of widespread suffering in famine-stricken Ethiopia, Geldof established the pop charity Band Aid trust in 1984, which raised $8 million for Africa famine relief through the release of the record Do They Know It's Christmas?. In 1985, simultaneous Live Aid charity concerts were held in London and Philadelphia and were transmitted by satellite throughout the world, raising an additional $48 million.
In 2004 Geldof was appointed a member of the newly launched Commission for Africa initiative, its task to produce new ideas for reducing poverty in the continent. In November of that year, a new "Band Aid" formed to record a second version of the single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to raise funds for famine-stricken Darfur in western Sudan. The song topped the charts for several weeks, including over Christmas.
In July 2005, Geldof organized "Live 8" charity pop concerts that were timed to coincide with the G8 summit on world poverty, held in Perthshire, Scotland. In support of the Make Poverty History campaign, performances were broadcast in 10 cities around the world, including London and Philadelphia. That same year, Geldof presented Geldof in Africa for BBC 1 and wrote a book to accompany the series. At the 2005 Brit Awards, Geldof was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, he received an honorary knighthood in 1986, and was awarded the freedom of the City of Dublin in 2005.
Personal Life
Bob Geldof has three daughters with rock journalist Paula Yates: Fifi Trixibelle Geldof (born on March 31, 1983), Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof (born on March 13, 1989) and Pixie Geldof (born on September 17, 1990). In 1995, Paula Yates left Geldof for INXS rocker Michael Hutchence; the couple had a daughter, Tiger Lily. After Hutchence's suicide in 1997 and Yates's death from an overdose in 2000, Geldof became Tiger Lily's legal guardian.

Frank Ocean Says He Was Influenced By Jay-Z & Kanye West For Album Release
Frank Ocean explains how he was influenced by Jay-Z and Kanye West, saying he released his digital album early because of what saw with "Watch the Throne."
Upon the release of his latest album, channel ORANGE, Frank Ocean recently spoke about his decision to drop the digital version of the album first. The singer, who was featured on Jay-Z and Kanye West's album, says that was inspired by their Watch the Throne album release strategy.
"I kinda wanted to mirror what Jay and Kanye did with Watch the Throne," Ocean shared with BBC Radio 1. "Preventing the leak by staggering the digital and physical dates. My thing was, I wanted all the promotional elements to be– I don't know if the word is 'retroactive,' but kind of follow the album with the videos and the tour and do everything after. And kind of just let the music speak for itself for a second and not be in a situation where the record leaked. It was always my plan to drop it ahead of physical."
In terms of content, Ocean shared that he was inspired by his view of what music will sound like from him in the future. He explained that he wanted to try new song structures, making music like he never had before.
"I wanted to do things that I hadn't done before structurally with songs and I wanted to go different places sonically that I hadn't gone before. … I tried to make something that was true to what I heard in my head, true to what I thought the future should be for me music-wise."
Physical copies of his album will not be available until later this month, on July 17.

Bill Gurley Member
I am looking for letters, diaries, and/or reminiscences from men in Maj. Gen. Mosby M. Parsons's Confederate Missouri Division as primary sources for a history of the division that I am writing. The division consisted of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 16th Missouri Infantry regiments as well as Pindall's 9th Battalion of Missouri Sharpshooters. The two artillery batteries attached to the division were Capt. A. A. Lesueur's MO Btty and Capt. Samuel T. Ruffner's MO Btty. To date, I have copies of over 30 letter groups, diaries, and reminiscences from members of these units. Most have come from university and state historical society archives. A few have come from private collections. Any leads on any material from members of these units would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com Thank you. Bill |

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-...6-12/time/1530 The line has already moved several point in our direction. Still heavy TCU favorites, but I don't think people expect this to be a high scoring game.
IF we are to win next Saturday.... AJ Klein will need 2 pick 6's. Knott will need 2 pick 6's. (assuming we miss 50% of the point after attempts) that brings us to.....26 points. Throw in a JMcD Safety.....28 points. I think this will win it for us.
Originally Posted by Cydkar So we are going to get 16 field goal attempts? That will be awesome. Edit: Crap, I'm late! hahaha. I'm glad we're on the same page around here.
Does that refer to the number of turnovers we serve up? The real question is what is the breakdown between fumbles and interceptions in that 14.5?
"Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heartFind somebody itching for something to start" "The Promised Land" Bruce Springsteen
TCU vs SMU was in basically a monsoon, so I would not go by those numbers. This could be blow out city because our defense will be on the field for 75% of the game and will get tired and run out of gas just like against Tech. Our offense will more than likely suck again.
All we need to win next Saturday is for our Offensive live to not be the worst players on the field.
The bigger the line the more I like our chances. I like the O to bounce back next week.
Originally Posted by Ry4Cy I will take TCU to cover. HAHA, I was just thinking, how are we going to keep TCU to only 14 points?
Maybe the 14.5 number is the total yards the ISU Offense gains in the game.
Can our offense score 14 points is the real question.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
We have not had such bad oline play since the Chizbang.
CFH HMagic bball season. Let my fred's Four Horsemen ride.
Originally Posted by UNIGuy4Cy I think we have some of the better running backs in the Big 12, our wide receivers are better than last season, and so is the tight end position. I agree some of the weight needs to fall on the offensive line, but Jantz time and again feels under duress when he is not and continuously makes the wrong read on the read option. Last night was bad for Jantz on the read option, might have been the worst I have seen him. White had several openings but did not get the ball and if he did it was not quick enough. Jantz had one answer last night - exit stage right. Never stepped up, never quuickly dumped the ball, never ran left. Obviously the previous gamnes he tried to curl and head back deeper to outwit the onrushers. So our fine staff said, if you are going to run, exit stage right. The blocking back looks like is needed after TT and Rutgers debacle. Do we have a back who can block?
Can Mike Ditka still throw??? Ditka and the Cyclones vs. TCU = WIN AND cover Steele and the run up the middle vs. TCU = loss and NO cover
TCU has about 40 underclassmen in their two deeps. This is about as salty as our defense has ever been. I think Rhoads lights a fire under the O-Line and we pull out a W somehow.

The gross current-to-voltage phase differences in washer/dryer motors causing dimming/flickering is usually a symptom of an overloaded or loose neutral connection somewhere in the house, or a bad connection between your neutral and ground (usually a copper stake driven into the earth near the power drop or meter, in my neighborhood, or on the neutral tie-in on the power company's side before the meter. If the utility only tested the voltages at no-load, they didn't fully test the neutral connection. A bad crimp on the drop that's corroding wouldn't necessarily be bad enough to cause things to burn out right away and still test OK at modest current, but still cause flickering and voltage excursions, particularly under motor or magnetic ballast loads- anything with a crappy power-factor.
Illegitimate loop connections between neutrals inside the house can also create oddball symptoms like that.

I have a Scott E2 6wt up for grabs. I'd like to get this sold quick so how about $200 shipped? NOW $180 Thanks, Sam
I am going to pass, but this is one of the things I love about WFF. People willing to go the extra mile for the benefit of others. It is selfless acts of kindness like this that make the classified section kind of like Christmas all year 'round. Thanks Mayfly! And Merry Christmas to you sir!
Hi Sam! do you have a picture of this rod? The 6wt I have is a 9'6" so I might be interested in this rod as well as your 5wt. Can you send a picture when you have time. Thanks a bunch!
Why hasn't this rod sold? What's wrong with you people! I had an E2 904 that was an awesome casting rod, a 906 would be a great all-around Western river rod.

Salem Massachusetts Man Charged With Stealing Purse From Courthouse Faces A Probation Surrender Hearing And New Criminal Charges
The Salem News reports that nineteen year old Marshall Glover has been charged with stealing a woman's purse from the Salem courthouse. According to reports, after passing through the metal detector the security guard informed the woman that she could not take her cell phone into the courthouse. The forgetful visitor left her purse in the bin and departed to find a safe place for her phone. Another court visitor, who was currently on probation, placed his coat over the handbag and scooped it up after it passed through the X-Ray machine. Glover was not only charged with stealing the purse but he also faces a probation surrender hearing. It has been reported that Glover will spend approximately one month in jail without the possibility of posting bail until his next court date.
In Massachusetts, in order to prove larceny the government must prove that Glover intentionally took the purse with the intent to permanently keep it. Although the facts of this case are not all known, a viable defense in these circumstances may be that Glover accidentally picked up the purse when he picked up his jacket. If convicted of larceny in the district court a defendant can face up to two and one half years in jail.
Here, the defendant also faces a probation surrender. At a probation revocation hearing the formal rules of evidence do not apply. The standard that the probation department must meet to establish a preliminary violation in Massachusetts is probable cause: the standard at the final surrender hearing is preponderance of the evidence. The rules of admissibility at a probation hearing are less stringent than the rules of evidence at trial. For example, at a probation hearing hearsay may be admissible if it has "indicia of reliability." However, if a probation revocation hearing is based entirely on hearsay evidence of criminal conduct, the judge should place on the record a reasoned statement indicating the reliability of the hearsay evidence and a finding of good cause for the Commonwealth not producing a witness with personal knowledge of the violation. If a judge finds that a defendant has violated the terms of his probation, he or she can generally be sentenced up to the maximum number of years provided by the statute.
