In this section, the song is an Irish emigration song 'Erin Grá mo Chroí'.

BASEBALL SEASON OPENER vs. Presbyterian
Hello Dawg Nation its time for a new season of Georgia baseball. I would like to take us back circa June 2008. It was hot. It was the midwest in the Summer. There were our Dawgs were poised to take Omaha by storm. There were names like 3B Gordon Beckham and pitcher Josh Fields that who were wearing the silver britches back then. The Dawgs ascended to the top of Omaha only to fall to the other Bulldogs from Fresno State. Since this point, we have had our struggles. In part to a stacked SEC East. Where at one point last year the third best team in the league, South Carolina, was third in the country. Then went on to win the national championship against who else but the Florida Gators.
The Dawgs come into this new season ranked #11. Other preseason SEC hopefuls include:
1) Florida 3) South Carolina 4) Arkansas LSU 10) Vanderbilt 11) UGA 22) Mississippi
Starting line for the Dawgs
1. rf Peter Verdin #16
2. cf Conor Welton #11
3. ss Kyle Farmer #17
4. LF Hunter Cole #6
5. 2B Levi Hyams #3
6. 1B Colby May #25
7. Dh Brett DeLoach #22
8. C Brandon Stephens #5
9. 3B Curt Powell #8
Starting Pitcher: Alex Wood
Top 1st
Andrew Williams pop out in left field (Hunter Cole) to start the season. Alex Wood registers his first K of the year against Jay Lizanich. On the third batter Wood clocks a nasty change up to retire the side.
Bottom 1st
First hit of the new season is by the center fielder Conor Welton. With two outs and Hunter Cole's first time to the plate Welton gets the signal to go…. safe. 3 pop outs end the inning. Hunter Cole is a highly recruited freshman from South Carolina, and got a good crack at it but it wasn't enough.
Top 2nd
Alex Wood lets Kenny Wood on after a tough one to his left shoulder. However, the defense did its job and little doing in the 2nd for the Blue Hose.
Levi Hyams knocks it about 350 feet to CF, but it stays in the park for the fly out. We have 4 really good cracks at it, but nothing doing so far. You get the feeling that the flood gates are about to open.
Top 3rd
Wood's fastball is on today with his 3rd strikeout of the ballgame coming against Brandon Paul. Hunter Cole runs down an over the shoulder catch to end the top of the inning.
One pitch. First homerun of the season for the Dawgs comes from the catcher Brandon Stephens. Curt Powell and Peter Verdin both hit back to back easy infield choppers to only be bailed out by SS and 3B errors. Again! Conor Welton lays down a perfect left infield bunt, and the pitcher slips. The bases are loaded! Kyle Farmer chucks it deep, and Curt Powell comes in on a sac fly. 1 out. Hunter Cole sees one pitch…. fly out. 2nd out, men still on 1st and 2nd. Wild pitch to Levi Hyams moves everyone a base. He goes down on strikes. Dawgs 2-0
Top 4th
With two easy outs, prior to the center fielder Conor Welton comes flying in to make a sliding out.
Bottom 4th
Brandon Stephens is having a big opening day. He records an easy double with a hit deep to left. Curt Powell brings him in with the two out single. Dawgs 3-0. Peter Verdin with a hit to left-center pushes Powell over to third. Two outs with Connor Welton to the plate. Welton will take a base after the walk. Big hitter Kyle Farmer is at the base with the bases loaded….pop out behind third base. The Dawgs get one and squander three.
Top 5th
RF Peter Verdin lays out for the grab and the ball slips through the glove. Stand up double to start the inning for Gabe Grammer. Peter Verdin grabs the next one at the warning track. Billy Motrant hits a slow chopper midway to third and Alex Wood barehanded throws him out at first. Andrew Williams brings in Grammar on the single. Dawgs 3-1.
Levi Hyams takes an early crack at it, the first baseman Kenny Bryant knocks in down but cant hang on. Single. The next pitch he takes off and is safe at 2nd. He scores after a quick single (Dawgs 10 hits). Dawgs 4-1.
Top 6th
Alex Wood looks like he is starting to waiver just a bit. He gives up two easy singles to start the inning to Jay Lizanich and Brad Zebedis. Wood strengthens a bit with two straight Ks. Matt Peden up…. and down 3ks.
Curt Powell takes the 6th by storm with a crowd pleasing triple. Verdin takes a force out to second, but Powell comes on home. Dawgs 5-1. Conor Welton walks. Kyle Farmer rips it to the corner and brings him in. 6-1.
Top 7th
#34 Pete Nagel replaces Cone. Brandon Paul single gets the ball rolling but not much else.
Bottom 7th
Brandon Stephens takes one to the right field wall for the double. One out. Two more batters go by with little success. Still 6-1 Dawgs.
8th Inning
Not much happening for either team in the 8th we go to the 9th with the Dawgs up 6-1.
Bryan Benzor comes on for the save. 3 up 3 down. Dawgs win! 6-1. Go to 1-0.
Georgia plays the Blue Hose Saturday at 2. Good night.

great everyday socks...
By: brianeugne
After I found out about the fantastic properties of merino wool, I threw away all my cotton socks and replaced them with wool ones. These Darn Tough tan merino wool socks are light enough to be worn year round, and a great everyday sock for loafers or tennis shoes. Unlike cotton, they wick sweat, stay dry, and don't stink. As the descriptions says, they can be washed and dried like normal socks without shrinking or getting misshapen. They've held up incredibly well, and Darn tough stands behind all of their socks with a lifetime warranty, so I'm confident that they will last a lot longer. Overall, very comfortable and durable: highly recommended.

Best-Ever AM Peak OTP
98.35% Is Best On-Time Morning Peak Performance in 30 Years
The MTA Long Island Rail Road continues its exemplary on-time performance record with the best ever AM peak month since modern on-time record keeping began in 1979. The 98.35% morning peak on-time average for April was almost one percent higher than the previous record high (97.41% set in May and July of 2005). The overall April monthly on-time of 95.97% was the second best since 1979.
Last year the LIRR achieved its best overall on-time-performance (OTP) ever, at 94.07%. The previous best annual overall OTP was 94.04% in 2002. The 2007 record was achieved while operating almost five percent more trains (244,565) annually than in 2002 (233,301). Annual AM peak and Off-Peak on-time-performance reached 94.28% and 94.64%, respectively, in 2007, both records. Highest ever OTP records were also achieved for January 2008 with 96.55% (overall), 96.38% (PM peak) and 97.19% (off-peak).
"This latest On-Time Performance record proves, once again, that LIRR employees are committed to providing the best customer service in the country," said LIRR President Helena Williams. "The LIRR is already the largest commuter rail road in North America and we strive every day to be the best as well. I congratulate our employees for their effort."
Rounding out the first four months of the year (through April 30), an overall on-time-performance of 95.54% was achieved.

Illumos Makes OpenSolaris Board Threat Moot
On August 3 Nexenta hosted a conference call to announce a new open source project called "Illumos." Illumos is an open source alternative to a critical part of the OpenSolaris distribution free from the binds of Oracle. Still several days short of the deadline set by the OpenSolaris governing board to Oracle, perhaps this announcement makes it all moot.
The effort is headed up by former Sun and Oracle Solaris developer Garrett D'Amore. He said that Illumos is not a fork of OpenSolaris, but more of a code base that perhaps Nexenta, Belenix, and SchilliX can be built on one day. Most important to D'Amore and Illumos supporters is that the code base will live on and be free from the control of any corporate entity.
There is proprietary code in OpenSolaris that still needs to be replaced. D'Amore hopes to eliminate that by the end of the year, but it's a large task even with the talented developers already committed to the project. The goal is to be 100% open source and perhaps to eventually release Illumos under the Apache2 license.
Since Oracle is ignoring community developers and their code as much as the board, the community has all but dissolved. Illumos could give developers a place to innovate. D'Amore is hoping to recreate the community development phenomena found with Linux and the resulting distributions.
With the days counting down to the probable disbanding of the board and the constant threat of losing access to the source, Illumos might be all that remains of OpenSolaris sooner or later. Several distributions are based on OpenSolaris now, and its loss could have spelled disaster for those systems. That's why most of them as well as several current and former OpenSolaris developers have committed to Illumos. Other community partners include Joyent, berliOS, Greenviolet, and Everycity.
D'Amore said that if Oracle shuts down OpenSolaris, then time would be right for a fork, but for now they have invited Oracle to collaborate. As one might expect, Oracle has yet to respond. While Illumos is being developed in case of shut out or as an alternative, it may turn out to be the savior of the code. In fact, with enough interest from the right people, Illumos could replace OpenSolaris in the hearts and minds of all concerned.

First name sucks. Something
First name sucks. Something more catchy than illumos would be good start. Second the closed-source compiler is not so easily redistributable to newcomers legally once oracle removes it. Third flash player was paid & contracted by oracle which means they can insist adobe add a clause to prevent it from installing on non-solaris platform legally crppling browsing. plus you wont get updates to kernel.
i believe it is doomed before it can start.
*Excellent* Article on this
This article provides an excellent history of the OpenSolaris project, and how Sun is primarily to blame for its failure. This quote in particular is dead on:
OpenSolaris has always been a bad idea. Not to detract from the quality of Solaris — the operating system certainly has its advantages and surpasses my favorite OS (Linux, in case that wasn't obvious) in some ways. But software freedom and community were bolted onto Solaris at the last minute as Sun was gasping for air and trying to remain relevant in the face of Linux. Sun folks, well ex-Sun folks these days, like to talk about how good Sun was to open source — but conveniently neglect the years that Sun fought open source and Linux kicking and screaming until it was too popular to ignore. OpenSolaris was not a friendly attempt to embrace community, it was a desperate attempt to remain relevant while Linux ate away at Solaris market share. OpenSolaris was largely an attempt by Sun to steer developers and companies away from Linux onto its turf.
Personally, I always really wanted to be able to use OpenSolaris as a server platform, as I had a host of AMD-based Sun servers which I also was quite partial to. I think that OpenSolaris had a lot of innovative features and a really bright bunch of developers in the community who were interested in it. Regardless of relative competitiveness with Linux, I'm just appalled at the disrespect that Oracle has shown the OpenSolaris development community - and really the Sun community as a whole. Even the fact of INSTANTLY re-branding all Sun creations as "Oracle" and making even their quite excellent servers take a back seat to everything on the website makes me think that Ellison thinks that he bought a big loser company that at least could offer him a way of manhandling MySQL directly.
Well, *I'm* excited!
I'm a huge fan of free software and a loyal user of Linux - Ubuntu on my desktop and netbook, and Maemo on my phone. I use Windows, Solaris and Red Hat Linux at work.
I'm not in the market for a Linux replacement, but I welcome Illumos as a potential future alternative. Choice Is Good. Godspeed to the fledgling free Unix!
Has good potential
One thing about opensolaris is that it does have quite a lot of potential. All it really needs is focus devoted to it. I may have to go check out the apache2 lic. I know of it, but not any of its details. What would really rock, is if it gained serious momentum in Audio / Video / 3d gaming ect. It already has a serious Work Ethic attached to it, so adding a fairly serious Play Ethic to that would make for a convincing platform to move to.
Best of luck in the future!
Couldn't get excited about OpenSolaris
I can tell I'm gonna have trouble getting excited about Illumos.
I'm curious as to why you would have trouble getting excited?
Ugly stepchild
Sun did a very sketchy job of supporting Open Solaris. Sun's management really did not like the idea of producing a free product that would compete with their bread and butter Solaris hardware and software product line. As a result, the Intel version of Open Solaris never did work very well, because it was only given minimal development resources by Sun.
Sun's revenues depended on selling proprietary hardware running a proprietary OS. They never did figure out a way to compete against cheap Intel hardware and Linux. They tried crippling the Intel version of Open Solaris, but it certainly did not work for them.
We already have Linux, open BSD, and Mac OSX for the consumer market. Who needs another Un*x-like OS? Not me.
Already dead
Both Solaris and Open Solaris have been dying a slow death since the mid 90's. Sun was a company whose entire business model revolved around selling a proprietary OS on proprietary hardware, but not for the general desktop user. Apple is making that same business model work by selling to the general consumer for laptop and desktop usage. Sun targeted their product at the business market, but suddenly found that they could not compete against cheap Intel hardware and Linux.
With Sun's having been purchased by Oracle, I think the final nails have been driven in the coffins of both Solaris, and its black sheep cousin OpenSolaris.
You have no idea about what
You have no idea about what you are talking about. Have you ever used opensolaris ?
I also knew some of the developers. It was not a happy project, nor was it a happy time for Sun. McNealy was driving the company into the ground with his inability to adapt to the new market dynamics in which a vendor of proprietary hardware and proprietary OS did not stand a chance against the emergent Intel-based Linux platforms. The early versions of OpenSolaris were buggy and slow, and were far behind Linux in terms of user adoption. Why do you think OpenSolaris it never caught on?
We were using (closed) Solaris at the time (80's - 90's) in my group at Los Alamos Natl Lab, and it was ok in terms of stability and functionality, but not in terms of performance. In the late 90's and early 2000's Sun had already lost both the OS and the hardware wars. OpenSolaris for Intel hardware, in comparison to their closed product, was buggy and had performance issues. Also, it offered inferior hardware support compared to the Linux distributions that were predominant at the time: RH, Debian, and Slackware.
Try again ...
Given that your chronology is incorrect, I guess you weren't really paying attention to what was going on when.
Kind of like now. Who are you, again?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

[JURIST] New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) [official website] introduced a bill Friday to legalize gay marriage in New York. In a press release, Spitzer said [text]:
Under current law, partners unable to enter into a civil marriage - and their children - lack legal protections taken for granted by married couples. In such areas as property ownership, inheritance, health care, hospital visitation, taxation, insurance coverage, child custody and pension benefits, married couples receive important safeguards against the loss or injury of a spouse, and crucial insurance against legal intrusion into marital privacy.

Charlotte to host 49er Classic | ||||||||||
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After a successful run in the indoor season, the Charlotte track and field team is ready to keep that momentum going as it opens the 2013 outdoor season at home by hosting the 49er Classic at the Irwin Belk Track & Field Center beginning on Thursday, March 14. Live results will be available each day of the meet through Flash Results at www.flashresults.com. The three-day meet that features almost 50 programs from across the nation starts on Thursday with the heptathlon at 11:30 a.m. followed by the decathlon at 11:45 a.m. Those two events will complete Thursday's schedule as Friday and Saturday consist of a full day of events. On Friday, the meet opens with the field events at noon and the running events at 1 p.m. Saturday begins with the field events at 10 a.m. and the running events at 11 a.m. After sweeping the Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships a few weeks ago, along with the 2012 A-10 Outdoor Championships, the 49ers are well-equipped for another successful season. The women were led by several standouts that performed well throughout the indoor season. Joann Blakney, T'Sheila Mungo, Briauna Jones, Maraya Slatter, Toby Jo Klauenberg, Katrina Wright, and LeAnna Morrison highlighted the women's team along with rookies Alvonna Blakney and Morgan Richards. The men's team displayed consistent efforts from Cordell Livingston, Khyran Shank, Jake Deaton, Anthony Bynum, Trey McRae, LeRoy Rouse, Sean Kluttz, and Brian Hamilton. The newcomers really made an impression in their first season in the green and gold. Rookie Chris Tate, Anthony Bynum, Will Thomas, and Anthony Campbell performed well during the indoor season and at the conference championships. Following the 49er Classic, Charlotte will compete at the HPU VertKlasse meet, hosted by High Point beginning on Friday, March 22. 49er Classic Participating Teams Aktiv Racing Alderson-Broaddus Anderson (S.C.)

Web page problems
I have a problem when typing in web pages.
Sometimes when I type on a webpage the page will go black except for less than 1/4" at the top.
When typing on certain web pages if I go to delete text it will delete text in a different part of the text than where the cursor is.
Also sometimes the auto spell will appear over the top row of the keyboard.
Any ides how to fix?Last edited by jmcinvale; 02-03-2013 at 06:52 PM.
Re: Web page problems
Which browser?
When was the last time you rebooted the phone?
Have you cleared app cache, yet?
If that doesn't help and if it's a 3rd party browser, maybe uninstall then re-install.

Re: Web page problems
Last time rebooting was a day or so ago. I use the default browser the phone came with.
Seemed like it did it when I first got the phone as well so I doubt it is the app cache.
Seems like with each Android update it gets buggier regarding typing in web pages. - 02-03-2013, 07:16 PM #4
Re: Web page problems
Have the same issue with other browsers? Try Chrome or some other browser.
Chrome Beta had issues when I tried it; so, I wouldn't use it as a daily driver.

C'mon, the song of the year was clearly "Gangnam Style!" Sure, "We Are Young" is catchy, but does it have a guy dancing on an imaginary horse while wearing a powder blue jacket? Nope.
I would also accept the song "Thriftshop," but it probably came out a little too late in the year to catch on.

I understand the enfatuation with Paper, but it stays in my 'rarely used' folder until they give up on their idiotic 'rewind' to undo feature. Its clumsey, inaccurate, and gimmicky. Give me a damned multiple undo button and I'll start using it again gladly.

Don't forget to include the mac appstore as well
edit: also worth noting that the honours are regional. The winning iPhone apps in the German appstore was a taxi sourcing program and runner up Propellerhead's Figure. The games were Jungle Run with Super Hexagon in second place. Last edited by RolyPolyBird; Dec 13, 2012 at 01:45 PM. |

Still, they did a superb job in creating puzzles that work excellently with touch, and if you like Myst you'll like this, too. Coincidentally it just came out for iPhone today, which is what I'm playing it on. |

BELLE, W.Va. -- Cody Perdue knew Mason Roush always had a fishing pole he could borrow whenever he needed one.
Mason Roush knew Cody Perdue could always be counted on for a laugh or a positive word when needed.
Both young men died Saturday night when they collided head-on while traveling along W.Va. 61 near Turnpike Ford in the Marmet area. One of the two pickup trucks was attempting to pass a slow-moving vehicle when the crash occurred about 10 p.m., State Police said.
Vehicles moved slowly across the bridge to Riverside High School in Quincy where a candlelight vigil was held in their honor. The fences along the bridge leading to the school bore the message "Fly High Cody & Mason" spelled out in paper cups.
Another vigil was held Sunday evening in Marmet, but Monday's was organized by the school. Cody, 17, was a senior at Riverside. Mason, 18, graduated in May.
Hundreds of students, friends, teachers and community members gathered on the football field at Warrior Stadium to remember the two. The Rev. Brad Chittenden led the group in prayer.
"He was a kind and caring person who could talk to anybody," Joyce Roush, Mason's mother, said through sobs. "Mason was good. Mason touched everybody. He'd give you the shirt off his back."
She recalled an incident where their neighbors were thrown out of their home with no place to go. Mason heard about it, she said, and went upstairs only to return with his younger brother and $360 to give to the family.
"He just wanted the babies to have a place to sleep," Roush said.
She described her son as a "big teddy bear" and a gentleman. He loved the outdoors and could be often found hunting, fishing or on an all-terrain vehicle looking for ginseng. His friends called him "Big Country," and family friends described him as a "good ol' country boy."
He'd accomplished all of his immediate goals in life, said a family friend who didn't want to be named. He worked in the hunting and fishing department at Gander Mountain, finished at Riverside and was studying to be a diesel mechanic at Ben Franklin Career and Technical Center.
"I know they loved each other as friends and buddies," the family friend told the crowd. "Honor them by loving each other and being kind to one another."

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5
Rated 2 out of 5 by NoWind AcuRite 5 in 1 Weather Station
Overall an ok unit BUT....
The Wind Cups are on very flimsy arm extensions from the hub and will shear off in the lightest hail event. It may be a function of exposure of the plastic to the sun but my last set of cups lasted about 6 months. AcuRite doesn't sell just the wind cups so if your make a repair you must buy the top portion of the unit at a pretty high cost of $21.99 but as of now even that part is out of stock.
For over a hundred dollars I would expect a unit that can stand up to being used out of doors as intended.
There must be better choices.

Rated 4 out of 5 by silkcityflorida Good value unit, BUT
The first unit I received had some sort of problem with the rain collection bucket. Acu-Rite readily agreed to replace it although it took over 2 weeks due to a back-order situation.
It installed easily, and appears to be accurate. My only complaint is with the display unit. Black letters on a medium-to-darker blue background is difficult to read unless you are right next to the display. It would be nicer to be able to choose colors, e.g. white letters on a red background, or black letters on a white background. This would make the display much easier to read from across the room.
Overall, though, I am very pleased with the unit and would recommend it to friends.

Yes, model 01500/01515 does have an indoor temperature reading as well as indoor humidity on the display unit. Thank you.Top 1000 Contributor
YES and Humidity for indoor also.Answers
Hi Corkyb,Model 01500/01515 as all of our units rely on a wireless signal of 433MHz that can be affected my metal in the structure of the house. You may need a closer range than the 330' that is listed in the specifications. It is hard to say for sure because each case is individual. The best recommendation would be to try it out and see what kind of results you get. Thank you.
Top 1000 Contributor
NO, keep it away fom your house, it can affect reading such as wind speed and rainfall.Top 100 Contributor
It should work just fine. I have mine outside on the opposite end of a steel carport and it travels through that and then several walls in my house perfectly.A:
Per the manufacturer: This unit should be accurate, even with a house that has steel siding. As long as the customer allows the unit to make a strong connection during initial set-up, there should be no problem with it interfering with the signal strength. If they experience any interference, they could try placing the indoor display near a window, where it is not blocked by the steel siding. ThanksDetails:
We had a small tornado that destroyed the outside portion of the unit that collects and transmits the outside weather conditions. I would like to just replace that outside portion.Answers
Yes, they could be purchased separately through the manufacturer. You may contact them by calling 1-877-221-1252 or view their web site: http://www.acurite.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=01500+++++. ThanksDetails:

4 AA batteries have been out there for over a year now.Top 100 Contributor
I've had mine for over a year now and the battery is still working great. I put in a good name brand battery when I bought it. I didn't want to go a cheap rout and have to replace the battery every 5 or 6 months.A:
The battery life in the units will approximately last 9 months to year. Your main display screen will have a battery icon that will flash indicating low battery. Otherwise you may see flashing temperatures. Also, please note we do recommend good quality alkaline batteries such as Duracell or Rayovac batteries in both unit for the best performance.

I want it for my travel trailer while I'm hunting but am wondering if the base unit works off of batteries as well or is it 110v ?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
YES, it uses AA batteries, I think it takes 6, I have them in mine for a back-up. It normally runs off an AC converter.A:
The display console will operate under battery power or AC power outlet alone, however, it is recommended that batteries be installed to retain records and to ensure continued operation during a power outage.Power: 5V AC adapter (included), 10 AA batteries (not included)

Saving a Whale
A Choice of Days: Essays from "Happy Days," "Newspaper Days," and "Heathen Days,"
On Mencken
The Young Mencken: The Best of His Work
The American Scene: A Reader
H.L. Mencken on Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe
Letters of H.L. Mencken
A Mencken Chrestomathy
A Choice of Days and On Mencken make up Knopf's testament to Henry L. Mencken on the hundredth year since his birth. We should, of course, be grateful to have any memorial less degrading than those essays of R. Emmett Tyrrell through which Mencken's ghost now and then flickers like some damned soul in hell. All the same these garlands, though altogether worthier and more scrupulously worked, seem somehow not quite up to their subjects.
But then there are subjects that fairly prohibit adequacy. Whales are the only mammals that the museums have never managed to stuff and mount in their original skins. The great whale in New York's Museum of Natural History is a styrofoam reproduction; and the museum's orca, despite its more modest proportions, is only a compound of burlap and plaster. These counterfeits are the best the taxidermists can do, because, they have found, something in the very nature of the whale's original skin makes its preservation impractical.
Mencken is a very great whale and can stove all boats that sail too close too soon. The careful sailor begins at a respectful distance and looks for what the creature is not before grappling with what it might be.
The first sight is the spouting, and who cannot be forgiven for coming upon such a spectacle and henceforth and forever deciding that this sportive play in the warm waters is most of what whales are about? Alistair Cooke, who knew him well and read him keenly, settles for defining Mencken as "a humorist in the classic American tradition, about halfway between Mark Twain and Woody Allen."
Even those of us least satisfied with the notion that his spout is all there is to the whale have to concede that any geyser is a joyous sight indeed. Here, as an instance, is the thirty-six-year-old Mencken on Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony:
In this grand complex of tunes, indeed, Tschaikowsky tells all his troubles—how he was forced into marriage against his will; how he lost three thousand roubles on Russian government bonds; how his pet dog Wolfgang was run over by the Moscow-Petersburg D-Zug and lost an ear; how the concert-master was in liquor at Dresden and spoiled his Romeo and Juliet; how ill he was after eating that gekochter Schellfisch at Prague; how the wine merchant, Oroshatovich, swindled him with synthetic Burgundy; how he lost his baggage between Leipzig and Berlin, and had to conduct in borrowed cuffs; how the summer boarders at Maidanovo played "Monastery Bells" on their tin-pan pianos; how that Schuft of a critic at Köln accused him of borrowing his Capriccio in G sharp minor from Offenbach; how his friend Kashkin won a hundred roubles from him at yeralash; how he cut his hand opening a can of asparagus; how melancholy it was to come to fifty-year.
This is, of course, pure sport with no destination except the disposable tissue that is any day's newspaper, and we would …

Tom manages to cover Julia's absence with Lin-Manuel ("She's at the bar. Tequila courage!") and with Laura Benanti ("She's in the bathroom."), Norbert Leo Butz ("She's in a taxi.") and Alice Ripley ("She's backstage."), but he's freaking out whilst rearranging the song order to give her a chance to show up.
Then comes the news that Tom and Julia's break-up has been leaked to the press (which we later learn was the handiwork of none other than Eileen herself!). On the phone from Hit List rehearsal, Julia question why, if everyone knows, is it so important for them to do this duet? Tom admits to his sentimentality over the occasion. Julia shows up. It's too late in the song cylce to do the duet they'd planned. Julia takes the stage and shares an Arthur Miller quote and then sings in a simple voice a song about what it means to be a writer living in and out of your work. Tom joins sweetly and afterward, they seem as moved by the underlying montage of their relationship and collaboration as we are.
This is precisely the schmaltz Eileen was going for when she secretly hyped this event as their farewell concert. Tom and Julia part ways as warm friends. All is right.

TEAMS: Syracuse Orange, Arkansas Razorbacks, Arizona State Sun Devils
TEAMS: Syracuse Orange, Arkansas Razorbacks, Arizona State Sun Devils
James Southerland provided Syracuse with exactly what it needed off the bench - and then some - in its first visit to Arkansas.
Southerland scored a career-high 35 points to lead the No. 6 Orange to a 91-82 win over Arkansas on Friday night.
The senior, who was also a career-best 9-for-13 on 3-pointers, helped Syracuse (5-0) win in its first visit to Bud Walton Arena. The 6-foot-8 forward bested his former career marks of 22 points, set against Princeton earlier this season, and five 3s, which he had as a freshman against Robert Morris.
''It felt good when I hit that first shot,'' Southerland said. ''I wasn't expecting to be that open, but I was open and you have to knock it down when you're open, right?''
Brandon Triche and Michael Carter-Williams added 17 points each, and C.J. Fair had 12 for Syracuse - which was 11 of 26 from beyond the arc. Carter-Williams nearly had a triple-double, adding 10 rebounds and nine assists as the Orange pulled away in the second half.
BJ Young led the Razorbacks (3-3) with 25 points, 19 in the first half, while Marshawn Powell added 19. The loss was Arkansas' third straight, following setbacks against Arizona State and Wisconsin at last week's Las Vegas Invitational.
The Razorbacks' difficult early stretch continues Tuesday when they host Oklahoma before traveling to No. 3 Michigan next weekend.
''I think the guys were disappointed, without a doubt,'' Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. ''They wanted this game here.
''We just want to keep getting better.''
The Orange led by as many as 15 in the first half, sparked by Southerland's early onslaught. The forward, who hit four 3-pointers in each of his last two games, hit his first five from behind the arc and Syracuse overcame an early onslaught of emotion from the frenzied Razorbacks - who fed off the crowd of 19,259.
Arkansas took a 10-7 lead in the early going, surging ahead behind a two-handed alley-oop dunk by Young off an assist from Ky Madden with 16:46 remaining. The field goal, however, was the last the Razorbacks would make for more than seven minutes - plenty of time for Southerland to go to work.
Following a drive-and-scoop by Triche, Southerland hit his first 3-pointer to give the Orange a 12-10 lead. The baskets ignited a 23-5 run that put Syracuse up 30-15, during which Southerland hit four 3-pointers - helping offset 19 turnovers for the game.
''They did an unbelievable job of pressuring us,'' Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. ''You've got to attack it; you're going to get some open shots.
''It's just a question of if you're going to make them, and James was right there all night.''
Arkansas didn't make another field goal until Powell's jumper with 9:37 remaining in the half - a span of 7:09 without a make. However, the Razorbacks roared back behind Young to close the lead to as few as five late in the half.
The sophomore scored 11 straight points for Arkansas during one stretch. His personal 9-0 run, which began with a series of one-man fast breaks and was capped by a 3-pointer, pulled the Razorbacks to within 33-28 late in the half.
Arkansas closed to 43-41 early in the second half after a free throw by Powell, but the Orange answered with a 14-1 run to go up 57-42 and take control for good. Once again, Southerland sparked the run - connecting on his sixth and seventh 3-pointers of the game during the stretch.
''That dude can shoot that ball now,'' Powell said of Southerland. ''He can shoot that ball for real, for real.
''A couple of times, even when I thought I was there, he still hit it.''
The Razorbacks remained within single digits of Syracuse for much of the rest of the game, though Triche scored 10 straight points during one stretch to keep the Orange comfortably ahead.
Syracuse was 33 of 68 (49 percent) from the field in the win, led by Southerland's 12 of 17 shooting. The senior had 35 of the Orange's 40 points off the bench.
Arkansas hit just 24 of 62 shots (39 percent), including 5 of 24 on 3s. Junior Mardracus Wade ,who led the Southeastern Conference in 3-point shooting last season, was 0 of 4 from behind the arc.
''We've just got to do a better job of knocking shots down,'' Anderson said. ''And we had some open shots.
''It's just one of those nights.''
The meeting was only the second between the two schools, with the other coming during the 1995 NCAA tournament. Arkansas won that second-round game in overtime on the way to its second straight championship game - where it lost to UCLA.

Can't believe they make us wait 2 weeks for this. Wish it would start now.
Where the F is the white suit?
I don't know if they could've had a matchup that I'm less interested in watching. The brothers coaching against each other angle is interesting, just nothing on the field.
