BBC America offers another sci-fi show from the great Glen Morgan that's not-so-great.
It is the casting that intrigues you. A couple whose marriage has stalled seeks "intensive counseling." Kay is played by Meryl Streep. No surprise there. Arnold is played by Tommy Lee Jones, the last name that would occur to most casting directors. The character is vulnerable, touchy and shy. He lacks confidence. He isn't interested in getting in touch with his feelings. He isn't even very interested in having any.
"Hope Springs" isn't a great film and doesn't take any chances, except with this casting decision. The reason to see it is for Jones. This man who can stride fearlessly through roles requiring strong, determined men, this actor who can seem in complete control, finds a character here who seems unlike any other he has played and plays it bravely.
I've interviewed him a few times, once at the American Pavilion in Cannes. Sitting next to him on the stage, I realized he did not even slightly enjoy exposing himself in that way. He was intensely uncomfortable with discussing "approaches," and "decisions" and "acting." He had nothing to say about "motivations" — his character's, his director's or his own. He was at Cannes to promote a movie, and he would do that because it was his job, but it was not an easy fit. It may be the same sense of privacy that informs his best roles. He never asks the audience for anything. We can take him or leave him. He is a rare actor who is not trying to please us.
Now look at him in "Hope Springs." He plays a moderately successful executive, a creature of habit, whose marriage has frozen into a routine. His wife is sweet, non-demanding and wistful, played by Streep as a woman who wonders what happened to the man she married. Every day starts with his nose buried in the newspaper and ends with him asleep in front of the Golf Channel. They haven't slept in the same room for years.
She bites the bullet. She signs them up for a week of couples therapy in the postcard town of Great Hope Springs, Maine, where marriage expert Dr. Feld (Steve Carell) sees patients. Arnold goes along over his own dead body. He doesn't want to change his marriage. He just wants to keep the peace.
The movie doesn't surprise us in the counseling scenes — or, for that matter, in any scenes in particular. The screenplay by Vanessa Taylor develops in an orderly way with progress and setbacks, a few smiles, some sweetness, some failure. Steve Carell has perhaps made a deliberate decision to bring nothing to Dr. Feld except an even-tempered calm. We can tell what kind of progress is taking place by whether Kay and Arnold sit close to each other on his couch, or at each end. The ending of the movie is happy, but not too easily, and there's none of the bawdiness suggested in the trailer.
So we're left with Streep and Jones. Of Streep there isn't much left to be said. She is a peerless actress, almost always in command of the right note, which in this case is determined but girlish. Then there's Tommy Lee Jones. In a sense, this whole movie and everything in it is designed to take advantage of a performance we didn't know Jones had in him. We shouldn't be surprised by how good he is. We already knew that from all of his Tommy Lee Jones roles. "Hope Springs" reveals his reach is wider than we guessed, deeper, and more vulnerable. It must have taken him some thought to agree to this screenplay.

News & Rumors
If you're a Sonos user making the move to BlackBerry 10, you won't have to worry about controlling your system from your new device. The folks at Tiggit have let us know that they are hard at work on their Tiggit Controller app for BlackBerry 10. With the app, Sonos users can control their system from a BlackBerry 10 device and have access to streaming services, media controls and much more.
Kevin is a new Sonos owner and has become a huge fan of the system (I know because he hasn't stopped talking about it for two weeks). He also motivated me to make my own low budget system using my BlackBerry PlayBook and a few BlackBerry Music Gateways in my house. Maybe when BlackBerry 10 comes out I'll convince him to buy me a Sonos setup so I can try this out for myself :-)
This looks like an Android app.
koool1 Jan 13, 2013 at 2:18 pm
It is. I'm ok with that though - so long as it works well. Some Android apps are very glitchy.

Look what 1.7 million surveyed said:
tiggit Jan 15, 2013 at 4:25 pm
It is not a 100% Android app. For various reasons this is a hybrid android/native application. To UI and some of the "business" logic is written in Java and runs within the Dalvik VM, there there is also a component written in C++ to handle the low-level discovery and network access.

primusd Jan 13, 2013 at 2:26 pm
Congrats on the Sonos Kevin... and glad to see the support for BB10, though I do prefer the Squeezebox system for streaming. There are already a few PB apps for this, notably Music2Touch for controlling and Squeeze2PB for making your PB an actual player on the system.
hamza817 Jan 13, 2013 at 2:30 pm
SONOS is amazing and then some. I currently carry around my iPod to control the devices as tiggit reviews for BB7 aren't looking worth spending USD20 on. Sad that SONOS isn't showing some BB10 love...or maybe they are and we will find out on the 30th :)
This app will likely be a little costly coming from the developers comments when asked about pricing:
"My attitude has always been that Sonos is a premium product and that a person who is happy to pay $250 per unit for music equipment ought to be happy to pay an independent vendor a premium fee for an integrated smartphone product.
I would hope that Sonos consumers understand that a Sonos controller is a specialist and complex software product and should pay a little more for it than a product that has appeal to everyone."
Mathrin Jan 13, 2013 at 8:50 pm
I would agree but the value of such an app would greatly decreased if it were not a native app.
I'd gladly pay 5 bucks for a native app where as I would only be willing to pay 2 bucks for an android port.
Hope that makes sense.
Kevin Michaluk Jan 13, 2013 at 2:42 pm
Yeah, I love Sonos. I bugged Patrick Spence on twitter a few weeks back and he said they were going to look at bring over the Android client to BB10.
But if Tiggit works too, that's awesome. As long as it works.
sk8er_tor Jan 13, 2013 at 2:53 pm
Considering how much free advertising Sonos has been getting through CrackBerry and @CrackBerryKevin, they should be jumping at the opportunity to create a native BlackBerry 10 app.
devinthomas Jan 13, 2013 at 3:00 pm
I had the Tiggit controller for SONOS with my 9900 and it was absolute garbage. It was not worth $5 let alone what I paid for it. Instead I just used an old iPhone 3GS as a controller. If this version is even close to the last one it wont be worth buying.
kthhrrsn Jan 13, 2013 at 3:34 pm
I use the Tiggit controlleer on my 9930, and you're right. The iPad app is outstanding. The Android app that I have on my Kindle Fire is actually very nice. I'd put it within 98% of the iPad app.
The Tiggit version doesn't have the same look & feel, it's very slow, and periodically doesn't work very well. It's useful in emergency situations- walking out the door and the tablets are upstairs, but i need to turn the system off. Or, I'm upstairs & tablets are downstairs, so I use the BB to turn Sonos on. I'd never use the Tiggit app to find music, create playlists, etc. It's only for the basics.
If they port the Android app to BB10, I think most Sonos users would be satisfied.
wfubball Jan 13, 2013 at 3:19 pm
I have a SonosRemote app coming for launch, it will be pretty basic at first, control your queue, volume, pause/play/next/previous, see track info & progress, group different players. Access to music & streaming services will come in an update after launch.
RicZoh Jan 13, 2013 at 3:23 pm
This is good news. I've been wanting a Sonos setup. I even emailed them to ask if they were going to make BB10 app. Didn't get a straight answer. Looks like I'll start assembling the parts now knowing there is an app coming. Thanks Tiggit.
Hardy99si Jan 13, 2013 at 3:35 pm
I'm currently testing the tiggit controller on the playbook. Works relatively well. Yes its an android app., but its for a good reason, they used their library that was working good on the android app. This way they can improve the reliability instead of writing new code. Best part is that the port over the playbook permitted them to also do the code for bb10. Tiggit are at beta 0.6 for the playbook and has a bar file for bb10.
kraschute Jan 13, 2013 at 3:47 pm
Much more important then another proprietary system (I know Sonos isn't bad) would be finally proper support for UPnP AV/DLNA, ano only a DLNA client, but also a controller and this please tightly integrated in BB10 and then please also later on the Playbook.
Reading the comments about the UPnPlayer app and some comments on CB recently I see that not many here have a clue what DLNA means and is capable of. It does not only mean that you can watch your movies from a NAS,but you can do pretty much the same as with the SONOS system but avoid spending a lot of extra money for just another proprietary system...
kraschute Jan 13, 2013 at 3:50 pm
@Kevin: If you're such an enthusiastic multi room media system user now :-) ....could you try finding out what the support status for DLNA is on BB10...only DLNA client, or also controller/server...and if it comes to the Playbook as well. I would love to use my PB as control for audio & music at home

I'm hoping this one is going to be much better - actually looks like it was built for blackberry rather than Android. www.roomtunesapp.com

good find, know if there is a bar file anywhere? doesnt seem to be in app world
blusls Jan 13, 2013 at 6:05 pm
Great find!!!!! Now i really want a sonos setup. DLNA for BB10 would be a major plus imho!!!!
Drenis Jan 13, 2013 at 5:53 pm
Enjoy the SONOS Kevin. I'm a Squeezebox fan myself. Love my Squeezebox Touch.
Any word on if Logitech will be putting out an app for BB10 to support us Squeezebox owners? The current offerings on the Playbook are alright but glitchy.
RIMperator Jan 14, 2013 at 1:44 am
Squeezebox offers really great value for money and just sounds excellent! I have 3 devices across my apartment and enjoy multi-room experience for a fraction of the price of a Sonos system. The ability to also directly integrate it with my Synology NAS makes it even better. If Logitech had a BB10 it would be simply perfect!
captain_tinker Jan 14, 2013 at 1:14 pm
I'm also a Squeezebox user, been using it for about 6 years now, and I LOVE it! I've been screwing around with some of the Android apps and trying to get them to work on the Playbook, I didn't even think about there being any native ones on the PB. I am really hoping for something that's not just a controller, but a way to stream and play the music remotely as well. I'd love to have that on my BB10, and have my entire music collection with me at all times through the "cloud"!
rajdeep.malhi Jan 13, 2013 at 6:58 pm
i wish android apps didnt look so different and that all the extra features looked exactly the way they would if they were native apps. and i hate seeing that extra bar at the bottom.
scelop Jan 13, 2013 at 7:00 pm
I think it is insane there is no way to use my playbook to stream services like pandora through my airport express to my stereo. AM I the only one using the airport express interface for an existing stereo system serving lots of different devices like bbs, iphones, ipads, pcs etc?
anon5387384 Jan 14, 2013 at 1:59 am
As a user with huge business needs there is only one consumer app of interest to me and that is sonos. Not having it is the only thing that will make me think twice about about moving from my sg3.Well ok, I will probably move anyway and have a ipod dedicated as a sonos controller but I will not be happy with the compromise. However having some sort of support for sonos on the b10 device would be great. Native tiggit on my wife's bb is horrible and unusable . If the android version is good I have no issues paying for its port. Money is of no concern. Ideally though an android port of the sonos version would be outstanding. A native version? Well that would be brilliant.
nvestn Jan 14, 2013 at 9:18 am
Will it be able to play and browse the RDio library to play through Sonos? My bro in law has that setup on his ipad/iphone and it's phenomenal. I've been thinking about incorporating Sonos in my new house construction and that has me slightly considering hopping over to iOS.
tiggit Jan 15, 2013 at 4:30 pm
The current Tiggit Beta supports all SMAPI music services (RDio is one of these). There is a glitch with RDio at the moment that should be resolved in the next beta release as it is a high priority for one of our testers.
Detective M Downs Jan 14, 2013 at 9:23 am
I'm excited for BB10, but I have doubts about the app/developer support. I want the same apps as other platforms, and I want them to function to same... not be limit or laggy.
skwest Jan 14, 2013 at 6:10 pm
RE. roomtunes app I got the reply below.....looks like it will be released for playbook later but should be out for BB10 soon. Website also looks like it supports Rdio ;-)
Thankyou for expressing an interest in Room Tunes! Our app will be hopefully ready for download on the BB10 launch date at the end of this month. I'm just waiting on approval and testing from RIM, but other than that it is ready to go.
Unfortunately RoomTunes won't yet work on the Playbook, as I have developed this app with BB10 in mind (with the new BlackBerry Cascades user interface). However I understand that RIM will be updating the playbook to run the new BB10 operating system once the new BB10 phones have been launched. As soon as this happens RoomTunes will be available for playbook as well. I'm not exactly sure when this will be as RIM haven't provided any timelines - probably sometime in the summer is my best guess at the moment.
If Your having a BlackBerry 10 Phone you dont need any sonos controller app. With the native music app you Can connect to you sonos system and play Your music. Turn on wifi connection. Hold tap on a song and press: play on. Your phone find the sonos system.
Play your music trough the sonos system.

The Clone Roses to play King George's Hall
4:14pm Friday 2nd November 2012 in What's on in Lancashire
IT'S something every tribute band dreads. The band you have based your entire career on goes and does something completely different.
But for the Clone Roses, the fact that the original Stone Roses got back together again for a series of dates after 17 years this summer has proved to be a real bonus.
"It's given us a totally new lease of life," said Gavin Scott.
"We have always prided ourselves on our authenticity and for 15 years we've been playing the 'classic' Stone Roses show.
"But the dates this summer meant we had to look at everything we did. It's given us the chance to age and hopefully will give our band a lot more longevity."
Fans will get the chance to experience the totally new Clone Roses when they visit King George's Hall, Blackburn, next Saturday.
"We have based the show on the homecoming shows the Roses did in Heaton Park this summer," said Gavin.
"We've sourced the same outfits they wore for the tour, we play the same instruments. The only thing you won't get are the fireworks."
The members of the Clone Roses have always been fans of the band.
"We went to Heaton Park as fans but also as people who for the last 15 years have played those songs," said Gavin.
"We all came away thinking 'we've got a lot of work to do now'. A lot of the songs they played differently and we've had to adapt. We've actually had to rehearse for our new shows, something we didn't need to do before as we knew the set so well."
- The Clone Roses, King George's Hall, Blackburn, Saturday, November 10. Details from 0844 847 166.

Digital consoles have evolved into a mature technology, and they are not only accepted throughout the industry, but truly dominate major segments of the touring and installation markets.
The reasons are many. The reliability issues (and pains) suffered by older, first-generation digital consoles are now a distant memory. New designs offer obvious improvements, such as greater numbers of channels controlled by increasingly smaller mix surfaces, and a variety of onboard and plug-in signal processing opens new creative possibilities. At the same time, software upgrades can expand the feature set of existing products without fear of obsolescence or bankrupting the owner. And the ability to load and store the moves, snapshots, and presets from entire productions is a welcome advantage to users.
But perhaps the most enticing allure of modern digital consoles stems from the reduction in size of the control surface itself. Combined with a reduced need for outboard processing, these two factors result in a smaller physical footprint for the audio mixer and more available seats for the promoter. Adding another six to eight seats available at each performance can equate to a substantial cash influx.
Recently, there have been numerous advancements in the state of the art in digital consoles for live applications. Looking into developments from various manufacturers (listed alphabetically), over the past year, here's what we found.
Available in standard formats or customized to user requirements, Allen & Heath's iLive modular mix system combines a central MixRack and an iLive surface controller that connect over a single Cat5 cable up to 394' (120m). The iLive Series now has six surface and five MixRack variants that can be mixed in any combination, and show files are transferable between systems via a USB key.
The latest additions are the iDR-16 3U MixRack and iLive-R72 rackmount Control Surface, which offers a compact, digital live mixing system with the same power and sonic performance of the larger touring iLive systems to a significantly lower price point. The fixed I/O iDR-16 MixRack has 16 mic/line inputs and eight XLR outputs in a 3U frame, with an extra eight I/Os available locally at the iLive-R72 surface. All MixRacks, including the new iDR-16, feature the same 64x32 RackExtra DSP mix engine, providing processing for 64 channels, 32 mixes, and eight stereo FX processors.
A "Port B" option slot expands audio networking possibilities, for digital mic splitting and multitrack recording (with ACE, EtherSound, MADI, ADAT, and Aviom interfaces available), and a built-in network switch and MIDI ports at each end allow remote control using laptops, touch tablets, and MIDI devices.
Next Page: Cadac's S-Digital
Cadac's S-Digital live theatre console reflects the surface architecture of Cadac's J-Type analog board, offering a familiar mix environment, but with the benefit of digital control. The board combines proprietary High Speed Digital (HSD)™ communication with a core bussing system based around FPGAs and dedicated SHARC DSP devices within the DSP rack. This handles all I/O channels with fiber-optic or coax interfacing to the Stage Rack/preamps. Additional control surface frames can be brought in during rehearsals (for single- or multi-operator use) and then removed/relocated to reduce the mix footprint during performances.
Next Page: CIA Digital Console Systems System 48
CIA Digital Console Systems now offers its System 48—a 48-input/output, software-driven virtual console powered by RML Labs' SAC application—split into two rolling racks for fast transport and setup. Standard features include 48 inputs and outputs, 5-band parametric EQ, compressor, and gating on every channel, 16 DCAs, six stereo aux sends, eight master outs (and 16 virtual outputs), and 7.1 mixing capability. In addition to the 48-channel model, 32/64/72-channel versions are also available.
Next Page: DiGiCo SD8-24
DiGiCo's new SD8-24 offers the identical power of its entry-level SD8 console, but in a footprint less than 39.37" (1m) wide. It features the same fixed architecture and Super FPGA of the SD8, and DiGiCo's unique Stealth Digital Processing. Features include the 48/8 Stage Rack and a 328' (100m) digital MADI snake; up to 60 mono or stereo channels with full processing; 24 mono or stereo busses; onboard local I/O with eight mic/line inputs; eight line outputs and eight AES I/Os; eight stereo floating point FX processors; snapshot cue control with crossfade; 25 touch-sensitive faders; touchscreen control; networking and remote control; MADI connection; 24x32 bands of graphic EQ; eight channels by four bands of dynamic EQ, mono or stereo; and eight channels of multiband compressor, mono or stereo.
Also new is the EX-007 controller, which is designed to substantially increase the number of available faders and the number of channels controllable from an SD7 console and from a distance of up to 328' (100m) over Cat5. Two EX-007s, each adding 24 faders and two additional touchscreens, as well as metering and other standard functions, can transform the SD7 into a 100-fader mixing console. Besides simply adding more faders, the EX-007 can be used as a remote surface for controlling entire mixes within an auditorium while the SD7 is placed elsewhere, thus freeing up even more seats.
Launched at Musikmesse/ProLight+Sound, the SD9 is an integrated system—complete with mix surface, D-Rack digital stage interface, and Cat5e digital multicore—and can simultaneously record 56 channels directly to multitrack software or DAW. The compact work surface has a TFT LCD touchscreen, 24 motorized faders, high-res bar graph meters, quick-access encoders and buttons, and user-defined backlit color LCD scribble strips. The D-Rack connects via Cat5e and has 32 mic inputs, eight line outs, and eight modular outs selectable as analog or AES, for a capacity of 32 inputs and 16 outputs. A second D-Rack expands the system for 64 inputs and 32 outputs.
On the horizon, DiGiCo plans to integrate plug-in specialists Waves' new SoundGrid technology into single FPGA Stealth Digital Processing products. SoundGrid would allow access to existing plug-ins into the DiGiCo platform with low latency performance. More details should be announced later this year.
Next Page: Digidesign VENUE SC48
Designed for mid-to-small spaces, VENUE SC48 from Digidesign is a one-piece system combining I/O, digital signal processing, tactile control, and plug-in support. Features include a Pro Tools LE FireWire interface and software included for audio recording/playback, 48 analog XLR mic/line inputs, 16 analog line outputs (expandable to 32), 16 aux sends, eight groups, plus eight mono matrixes (linkable as up to four stereo matrixes), and 26 touch-sensitive, motorized faders (16 input, eight output masters, one mains, and one flex channel). A single expansion slot is provided for maximizing output count or adding Aviom A-Net connectivity.
Next Page: Harrison Trion Live MkII
Now in its second generation, Harrison's Trion Live MkII features a traditional surface rather than a central, shared-knobs approach. Hardware enhancements include transformer-balanced mic preamps with a High-Z input setting for line-level and wireless mic inputs, and a combo I/O unit intended for smaller configurations with 24 A/D converters, 16 ADCs, and 16 AES I/Os, with MADI (optical or copper) interfacing to/from the console's MADI router, which now has 12 4×1 summing points. Harrison also offers plug-ins for live users, including 2- and 6-band de-noisers, de-esser, and a sub-harmonic generator, while adding FFT displays to its harmonic notch filters and buzz/hum killer.
Next Page: Innovason Eclipse
Innovason's Eclipse digital control surface, with the Eclipse DSP engine, lets users mix up to 104 inputs simultaneously into 48 mix busses with the capacity to manage up to 320 inputs on the console, using up to five remote audio racks. The MARS (Multitrack Audio Recording System) option allows 64 tracks of audio to be recorded directly to a hard disk plugged into the back of the console.
The compact (46"x30") surface has 48 faders and 48 configurable rotary knobs spread over four layers. An ID LED on each channel strip provides at-a-glance indication of the bus or function assignment to any channel. The Muxipaire interface connects via coax or fiber-optic cable to the 64 I/O Stage Box up to 500m away, and a Cat5 port ties into a 64-channel bi-directional EtherSound network. MADI and Aviom connect modules are optional.
Next Page: Lawo mc256
Lawo's smaller-surface mc256 uses the same Lawo HD core as the other mc2 models, with up to 512 DSP channels, 144 summing busses, and 8,192-crosspoint routing capacity. Key to the mc256 is its new control surface, which provides direct access to essential operating elements. Rarely used functions are handled via the touchscreen interface, for fast operation and a short learning curve. In addition, the new design reduces fader width to 30mm for efficient, ergonomic production. Every 16-fader bay has full-function, high-res TFT metering. With frame size choices from 32 to 80 faders and special flight-case versions, the console is adaptable to a wide range of applications.
Also new is V4.8 software for the mc2 consoles. A new channel display features additional color and textural information for the VCA and Link displays. Now any number of channels can be interconnected, with an almost unlimited number of link groups. Each link group can be linked with different modules, such as fader, mute, or EQ, with a color and name assigned to each group. Each channel can even meter one of the first eight linked channels, comparable to a VCA master, and a couple function can temporarily link multiple channels for quick adjustments of all grouped channel parameters. Changing the level of aux-send 1 or input gain for a large number of channels can, therefore, be completed with only three moves.
Next Page: Midas
Midas recently launched offline editor software for both its XL8 and PRO6 digital consoles. The application runs on any Intel-based Apple Macintosh computer running OSX 10.5 or higher and is currently in beta release for free download from www.midasconsoles.com. The software lets users prepare shows in advance or migrate an XL8 show to a PRO6 (or vice-versa) from anywhere, without access to the console. It enables full control of all parameters, including creation of show files, management of preset libraries, system setup, patching, and more, essentially running the same as the console software. The offline editor also has a training function, so novice users can learn XL8 and PRO6 functions prior to operating the consoles.
Next Page: PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2
Unveiled earlier this year, PreSonus' StudioLive 24.4.2 digital console is a 24-input live mixer with onboard 32-bit effects, four busses, 10 aux outputs, and 32 outputs (and 26 returns) via FireWire for direct-to-computer recording. The heart of StudioLive is the Fat Channel, with EQ and dynamics on every input channel, as well as on every aux, subgroup, and main output. Besides additional inputs, the 24.4.2 expands on the 16.4.2 version with a host of new features, and multiple StudioLive consoles (16- or 24-channel) can be cascaded for additional inputs. Included are Capture recording and Studio One Artist digital audio workstation software for Mac and Windows.
PreSonus has also released StudioLive 24.4.2/16.4.2 driver and Universal Control software for Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7 operating systems, available as a free download.
Next Page: Roland RSS M-380
The V-Mixing System by Roland Systems Group has been expanded with the RSS M-380, a 48-channel digital console with all the features of the M-400 V-Mixer but in a compact rackmount footprint. The M-380 V-Mixer offers setup recalls, 100mm motorized and touch-sensitive faders, an 800x480 color screen, dedicated EQ/pan/gain knobs, onboard effects, 16 aux/mon sends, eight matrices, eight DCAs, eight mute groups, built-in stereo recording/playback, and support for LCR configurations. Based around REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication), the M-380 interfaces with a variety of RSS digital snake/stagebox systems over standard Cat5e cable. A Cakewalk multichannel recording option is also offered.
A recent free software update for the M-400 and M-380 adds control of the RSS modular digital snake system's S-4000M Merge Unit directly from the V-Mixer, allowing up to four digital snake heads to be merged into a REAC stream for flexible V-Mixing system configurations. Other functions in the new software include access to three user fader layers, expanded control of aux send/direct out muting, and knob control of gate/compressor parameters.
Next Page: Soundcraft Si1
Soundcraft's Si series expands with the small-footprint (3.94'/1.2m) Si1, which comes standard with 48 inputs (32 mic inputs mapped on 16 faders, four stereo line channels, and four FX returns from its four onboard stereo Lexicon FX processors), eight balanced insert sends/returns, 24 group/aux busses, eight matrix busses, and main bus outs. Any group/aux/matrix bus can be assigned to any of the Si1's 16 XLR bus outs, and each bus has a 30-band BSS Audio graphic EQ. Three option card slots provide further expansion, such as recording all the channel direct outs or increasing the number of mix channels.
The offline editor program—Virtual Si—lets users setup/manage complete shows offline, for later download to a Si1 console through a USB memory key.
Next Page: StageTec Crescendo
StageTec's Crescendo is designed to fall between the company's top-end Aurus console and the fixed-bus layout Auratus, which is designed for smaller venues. Crescendo provides a freely configurable layout (add DSP boards for more channels) with a maximum of 128 busses. The controller surface can be ordered from 43 to 94" (1.09 to 2.4m) wide—depending on application requirements—with up to 48 individual channel strips handling 300 full audio channels. Visual feedback comes via TFT screens and OLED displays.
Crescendo's audio-processing and optical-interface components are accommodated in a NEXUS Star central router, which serves as an audio-routing matrix and provides a maximum matrix size of 65,536 I/Os with a capacity of 4,096 inputs simultaneously routed to all available outputs. Two consoles on the same Star router can share the audio matrix at the same time, such as one mixer in the auditorium and another handling monitors or recording.
Next Page: Studer Vista 5 SR
A new software release expands the functionality of Studer's Vista 5 SR console. Version 4.7 adds features dedicated to live theatre, such as enhanced cue list management, including single button creation of cues, simplified cue renumbering/inserting, the firing of MIDI/MMC events, and a large display of current/upcoming cue events. Channel VCA mute/unmute assigns can now be entered on a cue-by-cue basis, while building a show and library entries based on a play's character names can be created, for example, assigning EQ or effects to each.
A key feature in v 4.7 is Virtual Vista, a PC software suite that enables both offline setup of shows (for example, channel labels, routing, VCA assignments, and main cues to script), but also direct online control of the console so sound engineers can position themselves at critical locations within a theatre and make system adjustments to delay, EQ, and more.
Next Page: Yamaha M7CL-48ES
The latest addition to Yamaha's M7CL console line is the M7CL-48ES, which adds EtherSound stage box connectivity for state-of-the-art system layout and signal routing capability. The M7CL-48ES's built-in EtherSound interface provides the benefits of a digital network infrastructure while allowing the card slots to be used for other purposes, such as personal monitoring systems and recording outputs. Like the M7CL-48, the M7CL-48ES can mix up to 48 mono channels plus four stereo inputs to 16 mix busses, eight matrix outs, stereo, and mono outputs. The M7CL-48ES supports up to three SB168–ES remote stage boxes as its main I/O interface, and a new Stage Box Quick Set-up feature offers fast, plug-and-play connection via Cat5 cable.
Also new is Version 3.01 software for the entire line of M7CL consoles, including the M7CL-48ES. Among the major enhancements in v3.01 software is a link option for the Channel Select and Sends On Fader between the M7CL and the editor. This lets users remotely adjust PA and monitor systems from the stage or the house. The software can be downloaded free at www.m7clv3.com.

BSA's competitive soccer program begins with U11 players. It is comprised of both coed and girls' leagues, and provides competitive and accelerated programs. Team selection is through competitive tryout. Tryouts are held in June of each year for the following August through June playing season.
BSA's select soccer program is one of the best in the area. Each team is coached by professionally trained coaches and players. Select soccer allows an opportunity for a devouted player to improvement of his or her soccer game.
For additional information about BSA's select soccer program contact Art Kramer, BSA Director of Select Coaching at: email@example.com.
BSA Joins Wisconsin Developmental Academy
for 2013/2014 Season
Beginning in the fall of 2013, Brookfield Soccer Association Select teams will compete in the Wisconsin Developmental Academy (WDA). The WDA provides the optimum developmental environment for the top soccer players, coaches and clubs in the state by emphasizing development through quality training and competitive games.
The unique aspects of this program focus on Club Directors of Coaching, in collaboration with the WYSA State Coaching Directors, making decisions on a player and coach centric league. The directors will have the tools nd resources to make adjustments to immediately impact any aspect of competition so player development can be enhanced. An additional component is the increased ratio of player trainings to competitions for greater player skill development.
The league portion of the WDA allows game day roster flexibility to encourage the team coach to focus on player development over win or loss. Promotion and relegation are not part of this program. Clubs are admitted to the WDA as clubs, rather than individual teams.
"To have our teams competing week in and week out at the same location offers a variety of benefits" said BSA Director of Coaching Art Kramer. "Flexible rostering allows players greater developmental opportunities and having the entire BSA coaching staff at the same site enables coaches to work together teaching and evaluating our players."
In addition, The WYSA will coordinate Player identification and College Showcase events for clubs participating in the WDA. This will maximize the experience for the players and coaches. Players and Teams will still be able to participate in some leagues and the Olympic Development Program.
Jim Launder, WYSA Director of Coaching says, "The concept that the WDA is founded on all relate to enhancing player development using proper training to game ratios and minimizing the club "fear" of relegation and will make quality player development the standard."
Clubs competing in the WDA include:
Bavarian Soccer Club – Milwaukee, WI
Brookfield Soccer Association – Brookfield, WI
Croatian SC – Franklin, WI
Elm Grove Soccer Club – Elm Grove, WI
F. C. Milwaukee Soccer Club – Butler, WI
F.C. Green Bay Soccer Club – Green Bay, WI
Madison 56er's Soccer Club – Madison, WI
Milwaukee Kickers Soccer Club – Milwaukee, WI
North Shore United Soccer Club – Cedarburg, WI
Rush Wisconsin Soccer Club – Middleton, WI
S.C. Waukesha – Waukesha, WI
Sockers FC – Wales, WI
United F.C. (KASL) – Kenosha, WI
"We are pleased to have these clubs partner with us to bring this innovative program to Wisconsin. It is the next step to complement our Youth Academy Accreditation program for the U-8 to U-10 ages that started a few years ago. We have 17 members clubs accredited in this program that provides many of the same philosophies for players and coaches at younger ages." says Peter Mariahazy, President of WYSA. "The Academy model of focus on player development over pure competition is used around the world, and Wisconsin is excited to discover ways to incorporate it here."
The Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association is a member of the US Youth Soccer Association, the largest youth sports association in the country and the United States Soccer Federation, the governing body for Soccer in the United States. The Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association oversees registration and league play of 56,000 players annually and is the largest youth soccer organization in Wisconsin. Players register through over 130 member clubs assigned to one of 12 geographic districts throughout Wisconsin.

This past weekend, Frito Lay, United Supermarkets and America Supports You Texas put on a Beef Jerky Donation Drive For Our Troops. Thursday, all of those donations were delivered to the home of the care box coordinator, but soon they'll be halfway around the world, just like our overseas troops.
"We've got beef jerky all over everywhere," laughed Luan Martin, Care Box Coordinator for America Supports You Texas.
But Martin wasn't really bothered that some 5,800 packages of beef jerky were cluttering her dining room and garage because eventually, the contents of those boxes won't fill her house, but the hearts and stomachs of U.S. troops serving overseas.
"It's very easy to just put in their backpacks and go out on missions," explained Martin. "Because they go out on a week mission or something like that they can get several bags of the beef jerky because it's easy to eat and then it's gone and that's it."
The boxes will not only be sent to a list of troops native to the Panhandle, but also to their brothers and sister in uniform.
"If they've got 30 in their unit then we may send 20-25 boxes to that unit and they'll have enough to share with everybody," she said. "Including the interpreters that are with them or the allies that are in their unit."
But before any troops are licking their lips, care box packers will have to lick a lot of stamps, as postage costs are one area this group is still lacking.
"This will be over $1,500 to get it in the mail to our troops," Martin added. "We can only do it with the communities help because that's the only way we can get the postage fund is through donations."
A labor of love, for heroes who haven't quit.
"We know that every box we send," she said, "is a box of love."
For more information on ways you can donate to this cause, just email Care Packages For Our Troops at email@example.com.

Although voluntary, the ISO 14000 standards are expected to become an international passport for companies seeking business in countries with a high level of environmental awareness. They are also seen by some as a means of leveling the playing field among the myriad of regional and national standards which could potentially become trade barriers.
ISO 14000 loosely refers to a series of voluntary standards to check whether a company has an effective environmental management system in place. The standards seek to harmonize practices in several areas, including environmental management, auditing, performance evaluation, labeling, and life-cycle analysis.
Of these, ISO 14000 itself is the standard for environmental management system guidance. It is modeled somewhat after ISO 9000, the well known quality standard. But there is a substantial difference. ISO 9000 is limited to exchanges between contracting parties. ISO 14000 pertains to an organization's relationship to global ecology.
The ISO 14000 series includes three other standards. ISO 14001 sets environmental management system specifications. ISO 14010-12 establishes environmental auditing and related investigations, and ISO 14031 issues guidelines on environmental performance evaluation.
At the Oslo meeting, only ISO 14000 and ISO 14001 were approved. Those relating to eco-labeling, lifecycle analysis, and environmental performance tools had mixed success and will require further negotiating.
While ISO standards are written as voluntary consensus standards, some countries adopt them as law or use them as a basis for contracting. This means, effectively, that though not necessarily laws or regulations, ISO standards can become a marketing point.
Many officials, including some from developing nations, left the Oslo meeting convinced that the two standards would have a bigger impact on the environment than any government or intergovernmental treaty or program. Others, particularly governmental and private environmental groups, criticized the ISO standard for avoiding specifics.
According to Pierre Hauselmann, a policy adviser for the Worldwide Fund for Nature, one key part of ISO 14001 is the definition of continual improvement. But he says there is no base on which to establish improvement, meaning that continual improvement could begin at a very low level.
The Fund's skepticism reflects the concerns of the European Union that ISO 14000 may be too weak to serve as a standard for its recently launched Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). Indeed, the success of ISO 14000 standards could hinge on whether the EU decides to adopt ISO standards as compatible with EMAS, industry observers say.
In effect since April, EMAS itself is not detailed enough to be a standard, and the European Commission has asked the European Standards Organization, known by the French acronym CEN, to produce a Europeanwide standard. CEN has waited to see the draft versions of ISO 14000 and 14001 before it draws up its own European standard.
The next step after the Oslo meeting will be to determine EMAS and ISO 14001 compatibility — a feat that will be no less difficult than bringing the U.S. and Europe to agree on a basic framework for the ISO 14000 standards.
Among the major differences between ISO 14001 and EMAS:
* On environmental policy, EMAS specifies 12 key environmental issues that must be taken into account in a firm's environmental policy and 11 principles of action. By contrast, ISO 14001 does not specify any issues, simply stating that top management must ensure that the policy is relevant to the nature, scale, and environmental impacts of its activities, products, and services.
* On environmental management systems, EMAS requires that the system and program apply to all activities on a site. Companies, for instance, must compile a register of "significant" environmental effects and past, current, and planned activities to assess these effects. By contrast, ISO 14001 directs a firm to set up a procedure and identify activities, products, and services that it can control or influence so as to determine which have or can have significant impacts on the environment. An example of this might be that a paper manufacturer would have much better benefits over a POS software developer, mainly because the raw inputs of producing paper from pulp creates so much more in the way of damage than simply working in a realm as "eco-friendly" as point of sale. On the other hand, any inputs the POS company could minimize to make their product more eco friendly (less paper in the transaction receipt process, as an example) would reflect well on them also.
* On internal and external audits, EMAS mandates internal audits at least every three years to assess specified criteria, with a formal report of each audit cycle going to top management. Moreover, an independent, external verifier must validate the reliability and adequacy of the statement. ISO 14001 also requires periodic internal audits but does not specify in any detail the issues to be addressed nor the audit frequency. It also makes no mention of external verification.

Packers keeping the faith in Harrell for now
While the Packers continue to publicly support backup QB Graham Harrell, there's reason to believe it could be a different story behind closed doors.
Harrell looking like the 'real McCoy' for Packers
Barring a significant setback as the summer progresses, we hear Graham Harrell remains a solid bet to replace Matt Flynn as the Packers' backup QB.
Harrell a good bet to become Packers' future backup QB

Packers use late flurry to edge Colts
Aaron Rodgers was in midseason form, and backup Graham Harrell led Green Bay to 11 points in the final 35 seconds, rallying the Pack to a 24-21 win over Indianapolis on Friday night.
Packers positional analysis: Quarterbacks
This is the first in a series of position-by-position looks at the Packers' personnel entering the 2011 offseason. We begin with an analysis of Green Bay's QB situation.
Packers sign eight to practice squad
Former Texas Tech star QB Graham Harrell is among the eight players the Packers signed to their practice squad Monday.
Harrell struggled in the Green Bay Packers' preseason loss to the Cleveland Browns, leading to questions about whether he's ready to become the primary backup to Aaron Rodgers.||||||| The former Texas Tech star completed 12 of 24 passes for 100 yards with two interceptions Thursday night. He also was called for intentional grounding in the end zone for a safety.
The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Graham Harrell to the active roster from the practice squad and placed tight end Andrew Quarless on injured reserve.||||||| Harrell has been on Green Bay's practice squad all season.

Two Pearl River County women are accused of stealing more than $117,000 from the bank where they worked.
Court records said Vonetta Jordan and Debra Mitchell took the money from Union Planters Bank in Picayune for their personal use. The thefts allegedly took place over several months between April 2004 to February 2005. Jordan worked as the head teller at the bank; Mitchell was a teller.
According to the court filings, on at least eleven different occasions, Mitchell took money from the bank vault and put it in her purse or gave it to another employee working with her. Records indicate the fraudulent transactions took place every few weeks, and steadily increased in amounts. In all, she's accused of taking $117,883.25.
Mitchell is accused of depositing stolen cash into her own account, though the court documents did not specify how much money she is accused of depositing into her personal account.
Prosecutors contend the two also altered bank records to conceal the thefts.
Jordan is scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court Tuesday afternoon. Mitchell's attorney has filed notice she intends to plead guilty at hearing set for December 18.

I love signs but I'm not very good at making my own! When Meg from Nutmeg Place and I both liked the same sign on Pinterest, we decided to do a shared blog post on creating our own crackled paint signs.
I googled more home made stuff and found out that you can use Elmer's white glue as a crackle medium. Well, I have Elmer's glue on hand and I'm always up for trying home made stuff so I glopped it onto a board I had handy and used a foam brush to swirl it around. I waited 5 hours and painted over the top, careful to follow the instruction of using one thick coat and not brushing the paint more than once or twice. Apparently the more you brush, the less the glue will crackle the finish. That part went really well and I got a crackled look. Then I completely screwed up my words on the sign and had to start over, duly forgetting the part about not overbrushing. It didn't crackle... I sanded off the top coat of paint and tried re-lettering but things were going from bad to worse. My sign looked old all right, in fact it looked ancient! but NOT ATTRACTIVE.
Back to the drawing board. By now I had found a really cool font that I wanted to use, so I went in a completely different direction using the flip side of my board. I painted the board yellow first and 5 hours later slopped on more glue with a paper towel. I only gave the glue an hour to set up before painting another deeper shade of yellow on top. This time I paid attention to the "don't over stroke" rule. It crackled perfectly!!
I traced my words onto the sign using newsprint as a carbon paper. That worked really well and then I over traced the words with a sharpie and coloured them in. When I was done, I painted a couple of bouquets of flowers and a sun over the center point of the board. I LOVE IT!!!
Here are the two versions of my signs:
The first is my favourite and I can't wait to hang it on my new studio. The flip side is the Farmer's Market sign that I killed with paint and overembellishments... There's that OCD thing again!!!
Hey there and happy Sunday my lovelies!
I have to say, this project {challenge} was SO much fun!!
I was browsing through Pinterest and saw this gorgeous sign that one of my favorite bloggers {Anne from Dream Designs by Anne} had pinned:
Isn't Meg's sign AWESOME?!! This was a really fun project and working together made it even better. Hope you all have a happy & creative week.

There are at least 10 statewide amendments on the ballot this November.
Amendment one, the so-called Forever Wild Amendment, would renew Alabama's wildlife preservation program for another 20 years.
However, the seemingly innocent amendment is facing some opposition.
Ernest Haygood said if voters decide to pull funds from Forever Wild, he fears public land used for hiking and hunting will soon start to dwindle.
Shoals Creek Preserve in Lauderdale County is part of the 227,000 acres of land in Alabama designated for public use.
According to their website, Forever Wild doesn't use tax payer money. Instead, it uses 10 percent of the interest earned off the state's trust fund.
A "yes" vote on November 6th would allow the program to continue to grow.
A "no" vote would in turn stop the growth of public lands.
Some people, including State Senator Shadrack McGill, are on record saying they feel the money could be used in better ways.
Others like Haygood say Forever Wild is important.
Haygood said it has allowed everyone to get a feel for the great outdoors. He hopes voters will feel the need to protect it as well.
"It's open to hunting and trapping, horseback riding, just sightseeing of all. It's just a good place to be. A lot of land they buy is something like the Shoals Creek Preserve, which is a real pristine beautiful place," he said.
According to the group's website, Alabama's public conservation land makes up less than four percent of the state's total land area, which is well below the 12 percent state average across the southeast.

Led by three-time Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year Karl Smesko, FGCU finished with a 29-3 overall record that included a league-first 18-0 mark in the A-Sun. The Eagles verified the conference's third-ever unbeaten regular season by cruising through the Atlantic Sun Tournament, taking the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament with a convincing 67-39 win over second-seeded and 20-game winner Stetson.
On the men's side, FGCU made a magical run to the Atlantic Sun championship game as the tournament's No. 6 seed under first-year head coach Andy Enfield. The Eagles earned a spot in the conference postseason tournament in their first year of eligibility, defeating No. 3 seed USC Upstate in the quarterfinals before stunning No. 2 Mercer in front of its sold out home crowd. FGCU finished with a 15-17 overall record and was just the seventh team in the 33-year history of the A-Sun Tournament to make the championship in its first attempt.

Sherrod Martin - #23 - S
|6' 1"/ 200 lbs.
|Griffin, GA
|Years played
|2009, 2nd round, 27th pick by Panthers
2011 free-agent tracker, by position
Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
The Panthers placed Martin on injured reserve after he injured the ACL and MCL in his right knee in Carolina's 27-21 loss to the Kansas City on Sunday. He becomes the 12th Carolina player to be placed on injured reserve this season.||||||| Martin, a four-year veteran, was a two-year starter for the Panthers before losing his starting job to free agent pickup Haruki Nakamura in training camp. Martin played in 12 games in a reserve role and finished the season with 23 tackles and one forced fumble.
The NFL has fined Martin $40,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, with the hefty penalty coming in part because he's a repeat offender. Martin confirmed the fine for the hit on Browns tight end Evan Moore in the locker room on Wednesday but declined to speak to reporters.||||||| Martin has been on the NFL's radar since Week 1, when he was docked $5,000 for a hit on New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss that gave Boss a concussion. The play was in a video sent to teams as the league soon began a crackdown on dangerous hits.
The NFL has fined Martin $5,000 for his hit that gave New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss a concussion.||||||| The league ruled Friday that while Martin used his shoulder and not his head last Sunday, he hit a defenseless player in the head area, which has become a point of emphasis. Boss has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
Panthers have come to terms with second-round pick Sherrod Martin on Friday, putting all Carolina rookies under contract before the start of training camp. The cornerback from Troy gets a four-year deal, but his agent, Hadley Engelhard, did not reveal financial figures.||||||| Martin is expected to become Carolina's nickelback behind starters Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall. The agreement comes two days before the Panthers report to camp and marks the second straight season the Panthers have avoided a rookie holdout. First-rounder Jon Beason missed the first eight days of training camp in 2007.

The Pit, with its pocketed white limestone, was Arizona's first foray into the realm of sport climbing in the mid to late 1980's. Today, it's northern Arizona's prime sport area. Well, if by prime one means most convenient for Flagstaff locals. It's a popular area that offers average quality climbing on average quality limestone, but is nice for an afternoon workout and certainly beats the gym. The area is pleasant and climbable year-round. Routes are well bolted, generally short, and distinctively pocketed and edgy in style.
Getting There
Drive south of Flagstaff on Lake Mary Road. About six miles out, turn left into the Canyon Vista Campground. Drive through the campground to a lot at the far end. Follow the obvious trail for five minutes, breaking right to descend to the he cliffs.

This is a semester exchange program, where students take classes (in English or Spanish) directly at a partner university and substitute that semester for a semester at the University of Minnesota. The partner university will send one of their students to the Carlson School of Management to take classes in their place.Exchanges often require students to demonstrate a high degree of independence, adaptability, and flexibility because support and service may be different from a US university. Examples of differences that exchange students should be prepared to encounter include varying housing options, the amount and timing of program details, grading based less on assignments and more on final exams, and an academic calendar that may differ significantly from the University of Minnesota.

Single-digit temperatures froze water pipes, killed vehicle batteries and silenced furnances for many local residents Tuesday morning.
With the temperature expected to drop to near 11 degrees early Wednesday morning, more problems are likely. Lancaster and Chester school districts delayed Wednesday morning start times by two hours. All York County districts scheduled normal opening times.
The state Highway Patrol said calls for assistance tripled on Monday afternoon and Tuesday, with more than 600 motorists needing help. The morning commute to Charlotte was slow, but the problems on Interstate 77 were caused by accidents and not ice.
The cold temperatures also meant that every available space in shelters and warming stations in York County was used Monday night. The same was expected Tuesday night.
But even with the coldest recorded temperatures in three decades, York County fared very well, said Cotton Howell, director of emergency services for York County. No major problems were reported, he said.
But statewide, a man in Cherokee County and a woman in Spartanburg County were found dead outside in the cold temperatures, authorities said.
The National Weather Service advised people to wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. That type of clothing traps air between the layers, which acts as insulation. Outer garments should be water repellent and tightly woven. A hat is essential as 40 percent of body heat is lost through the head. The weather services says mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
Lancaster and Chester school officials say they hope the delayed opening helps them overcome any problems. On Tuesday, 15 Lancaster buses would not start. The Clover school district reported minor bus problems.
Lancaster Superintendent Gene Moore said up to 1,800 students could have been affected by bus problems if school had started at the regular time on Tuesday. The delay gave mechanics and our drivers time to make sure buses were running and could be at stops on time so students wouldnt have to wait outside in the extreme cold for a long time, he said.
Homeless shelters and warming centers expected another busy evening Tuesday and all day Wednesday.
Iris Hubbard, director of the Renew our Community Center in Rock Hill, said more than 80 people visited the center Tuesday to keep out of the cold. On Monday night, center volunteers took people to the Bethel Shelter with 24 beds, the Salvation Army with 12 beds for women and children and to Pilgrims Inn, which has 17 beds for women and children.
The center is coordinating with the shelters so that people can leave the shelters and head to the ROC center during the day to keep warm. In the evening, the process is reversed.
The cold temperatures did not affect electric operations, but Duke Energy asked customers to conserve power. Rock Hill reported a hour outage along Anderson Road from 11 p.m. to midnight Monday because of an equipment failure that affected 932 customers, including York Technical College and the citys operations center, said city spokeswoman Katie Quinn.
Rock Hill also reported three water main breaks. A 6-inch water line cracked on Wilson Street near the U.S. Post Office, creating a sheet of ice that closed the street. Chelsea Rixing, who lives in a house near the break, said she was told to expect to be without water for three to four hours. Rixing, who was taking care of two children for a friend, said somehow well make it. The city restored water service about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The other breaks were at Lakeside Drive and Alabama Court, Quinn said.
Plumbers and heating technicians were prepared for a busy day. Calls for frozen pipes had been coming in as early as Saturday. But on Tuesday, companies reported their business doubled or tripled.
Were doing everything we can and we wont get to all our jobs today, said Chris Carter, owner of Carter Quality Plumbing with offices in Rock Hill and Lancaster. His firm regularly sees about 12 clients a day. On Tuesday, it had more than 36 calls.
Carter said the best way for homeowners to prevent plumbing problems during cold weather is to disconnect outside hoses from spigots and to put covers over the spigots. When hoses are left attached, the water freezes and the hoses act like a wick that can break the pipes or spigots.
Carter also said homeowners should make sure all outside pipes are properly insulated as well as those in crawl spaces or in attics.
Gary Luciano, marketing manager for Brothers Heating, Cooling and Plumbing, said faucets should be left slightly open, producing a slow drip to keep pipes from freezing. He also advised keeping the heating system running throughout the night.
Statewide, Cherokee County authorities are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a field across the street from a Gaffney homeless shelter.
Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says a cab driver discovered the man just before 8 a.m. Tuesday. The mans name had not been released Tuesday afternoon.
Fowler says the man was brought to the Harbor of Hope shelter at around 5:30 p.m. Monday after being discharged from a medical center, where he told attendants he didnt have heat in his home. Fowler said an autopsy had been scheduled for Wednesday morning to help determine if the man died from a medical condition prior to the onset of hyperthermia.
And in Spartanburg County, the coroner is investigating the death of a 56-year-old woman who was found outside a home in Una.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger says that the body of Norma Jean Sanders was found on Tuesday.
Clevenger says Sanders had apparently been out all night in the cold. She lived on the street where she was found, but Clevenger says Sanders wasnt found in her own yard.
Clevenger says that he is still trying to figure out if factors in addition to the cold contributed to Sanders death.
