It was quite the run that Texas had with FSU commit Christo Kourtzidis, the tight end from California who receive an in-home visit from Major Applewhite on Tuesday night, decided Wednesday that he would visit Texas, then decided Thursday that he would not be making the trip after all. Score one for Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State coaching staff, who likely worked since Tuesday to keep Kourtzidis from visiting Austin and apparently managed to do so prior to an in-home visit Thursday evening. So that's that for that, leaving Mesquite Horn tight end Vincent Hobbs as the only remaining target at the position. Hobbs will be visiting Austin this weekend, but it's not clear at this time whether or not he will receive an offer.
Texas co-offensive coordinator Major Applewhite had an in-home visit Tuesday night with a national tight end recruit. Who is the prospect and will he make it to Austin for a visit this weekend?
Let's take our first look at the list of prospects that the Califoria Golden Bears are targeting for the 2012 football class. Which big targets will Cal land this fall?
With all the recruiting servers now up-to-date and the majority of Cal offers out there, it's time to reveal our 2012 Cal football recruiting board! Click here for the current spreadsheet. I...

Jeff Niemann is a good pitcher.
Jon Lester is a better pitcher, so the Red Sox were supposed to beat the Rays at Fenway Park Saturday afternoon, and essentially clinch the American League Wild Card.
Supposed to, schmupposed to: Tampa Bay 4, Boston 3.
Niemann held the Red Sox to two runs in five innings, while Lester gave up four runs in seven innings; most damagingly, Ben Zobrist drove a two-run homer into the Monster Seats in the very first inning. The Red Sox fought back against Niemann and reliever Matt Moore. But Moore, making just his second major-league appearance, limited the Sox to one run in three innings, and Joel Peralta closed out the ninth for his fourth save of the season.
Sunday afternoon, the Rays and Red Sox conclude this four-game series at Fenway. With young David Price going against ancient Tim Wakefield, the Rays are supposed to win. If they do, they'll trail the Sox by only two games with 10 to play.
Supposed to, schmupposed to. (Red Sox Nation hopes, anyway.)

Warning: There's another case of food impropriety in the news. A popular frozen dinner option is being removed from ovens over in Scandinavia in another half-baked scandal. Families were waiting to feast on Moose Lasagna, but as the cheese was becoming bubbly and browned, food officials exposed that there was pork in some of these prepared selections. Everyone in Sweden is asking: What is pork doing in my lasagna? People in the U.S. are asking: What is moose doing in your lasagna?
Jews in Sweden, all fourteen of them, were upset because the company revealed that the 17,000 portions sold contained one percent pork — which the company admitted meant the product was not 100 percent Kosher. Or as my rabbi would say, "Not Kosher."
The bottom line is that even though the manufacturer is pulling the pork-tainted casserole off the shelves, the entrée is still a favorite of many consumers.
After all, who doesn't like pulled pork?
For the second time in two months, it's the conglomerate IKEA that is responsible for this food fiasco. Wanting to be proactive in this debacle, the company set up an 800 number so customers could, in their words, "lodge a moose lasagna complaint." Everyone thought this seemed like a good idea except the local Moose Lodge, where they got a lot of crank phone calls.
IKEA is basically a furniture company that also sells frozen food, a technique to expand sales like the U.S. Postal Service decision to sell safari hats and dorky shorts so you can look like your letter carrier.
IKEA has had a history of mislabeling products, once advertising futons as beds, a ruse that almost worked until people got them home and tried to sleep on them.
The details of the porcine-laced lasagna were first revealed by the Swedish newspaper Dagbkadet. Coincidentally, dagbkadet is exactly what a Kentucky farmer says if he finds not moose, but a mouse, in his lasagna. One French newspaper scared the beejeebers out of their readers when they inadvertently mistranslated the story and Parisian diners thought there was meat in their mousse. Even hairstylists got the facts wrong and thought there was pork in their styling products.
Frozen dessert manufacturers were touched by the recall when Rocky Road and Moose Track Ice Cream began to generate a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle jokes on the web.
Even Sarah Palin, famous for her Alaskan commentary, tweeted that she could see Natasha from her house.
IKEA always thought there were sales opportunities for moose-related products and they hope this scandal won't depress the market.
They are now looking at how to make a moose jerky. Which is like asking: How do you drive a baby buggy? I think in both cases you have to tickle something.
IKEA is not sure how to win back their customers after so many have suffered this unjust ingestion. PR experts found a snappy slogan they will use to promote the product to ensure people know the issue has been addressed: "You've got game!"
Of course, here in America, lasagna manufacturers are basically honest about what is in the product.
For example, on the Stouffer's box in my freezer there are 54 ingredients listed—yummy stuff like sodium nitrate, BHA, BHT, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate. As long as their entrée tastes good, I'll consume all of those chemicals; but I do have my limits. ANY WHICH WAY BUT MOOSE.

San Mateo County supervisors to let voters decide whether 'at-large' elections should stay

This is proof that the supervisors can read the writing is on the wall.
Gina Papan won her district in the May 3rd special election, where she came in 3rd county-wide. It will be especially interesting to see how the recent supervisor candidates did in District 4. We should have that information with the certification of the election.
on Jun 26, 2012 at 7:44 pm
This is a great statement from Supervisor Groom who was appointed not elected. 3 Supervisors saved her the time and money of a campaign, Don Horsley spent $452,000 and Dave Pine somewhere around $550,000.
Supervisor Carole Groom, who also voted to keep the current system in 2010, said she still thinks the county is better governed by supervisors who are elected by the entire county, but supports the notion of giving the voters a chance to decide.
When the entire county (at-large) votes the impact of Shelly Kessler and Bill Nack's 70,000 members plus spouses make a big impact. in this last election they endorsed Shelly Masur and said it would be ok to vote for Warren Slocum and Memo, and there you have it.
on Jun 26, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Mr. Stogner, you can try to blame labor council for you loss, but you still did quite well given that you had no ballot statement, an none of the newspapers said anything especially complementary about you. Maybe the NO on the labor council slate mailer helped you.
We can see from Shelly Masur's 21% in the June primary, that labor's endorsement cannot save a weak candidate. The SEIU mailers promoting Masur did not mention SEIU, except in the fine print.

The upcoming August trial motivated the board decision today. The lawsuit, Satorre et al. v. San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, maintains that the County Charter's current method of electing members of the Board of Supervisors "at-large" violates the California Voting Rights Act. The state's Voting Rights Act, enacted in 2002, bans at-large voting if there is evidence that it "impairs the ability" of a minority group "to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election."
The following quotes from the July 13, 2010 Board of Supervisors meeting can best be described as arrogant.
"I for one am going to recommend that we leave things as they are today. I believe it doesn't cost as much to run for the Board as it does for Congress. It is not easy to get elected countywide but it shouldn't be easy. This is not an easy job, you want to make sure you have the best and the brightest and those that truly want to make a difference, and those that are truly looking at the entire County." Adrienne Tissier
"I would agree with Adrienne's comments and my understanding of the charge of the Charter Review Committee was to make recommendations they believe would improve our system of governance, not to decide what measures should actually go on the ballot, that's really for this Board to determine I would support keeping the current system and not placing this on the ballot." Mark Church
"It really serves the people of San Mateo County when you run at-large." Rose Jacobs Gibson, the only supervisor of color on the board

"Mr. Stogner, you can try to blame labor council for you loss, but you still did quite well given that you had no ballot statement, an none of the newspapers said anything especially complementary about you. Maybe the NO on the labor council slate mailer helped you."
I'm not blaming Shelly and Bill for my loss but I do hold them responsible for telling over 70,000 members and spouses that I am a Union Buster and Community Wrecker.

We predict that Virginia Chang Kiraly will be president of the Menlo Park Fire Protection District in 2014, and with the sole endorsement of the Labor Council and the San Mateo County Republican Party, will run for supervisor against Don Horsley.

The sups should support District elections. This is getting ridiculous.

When are the Supervisors going to evolve on this issue?

on Jun 27, 2012 at 1:37 pm
This issue should have been solved a long time ago, 14 members said that they wanted the voters to decide against 2 that did not want the vote to go on the ballot. Shelly Kessler's position does not surprise me however a nominee of The League of Women voters does not make sense to me.

It's only a matter of time. Since 2009, nearly 70 school boards applied with the state Board of Education to make the switch, the majority of them just this year.
The California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) was signed into law on 9 July 2002. The act expands on the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, making it easier for minority groups in California to prove that their votes are being diluted in "at-large" elections.
In 1986 the U.S. Supreme Court established conditions that must be met to prove that minorities are being disenfranchised; the CVRA eliminated one of these requirements. Unlike the Federal Voting Rights Act, the CVRA does not require plaintiffs to demonstrate a specific geographic district where a minority is concentrated enough to establish a majority. This makes it easier for minority voters to sue local governments and eliminate at-large elections.
In 2007 the California State Supreme court ruled the act constitutional in Sanchez v. The City of Modesto. The city claimed that the act was unconstitutional because it inherently favored people of color; the court concluded that the act was not racist in nature and returned to case to trial court. The case ended in settlement after the city voted on a ballot measure to use district voting by 2009. Although the city settled, they were still responsible for paying $3 million in fees for the defendants lawyers.

VALPARAISO, Ind. — A northwestern Indiana city official hopes a new building project includes a rain-harvesting system.
Valparaiso Public Works Director Matt Evans said the 80,000 square feet of buildings on the city's new public works campus will have almost two acres of roof for collecting rain and directing it to an underground cistern. The water then could be applied for uses including mixing the brine the department uses in winter for melting snow and watering more than 200 trees the department cares for.
Evans tells The (Munster) Times that the system would cost about $80,000, but it's something that would be environmentally friendly and give back for decades to the city about 15 miles southeast of Gary.
Plans for the campus are expected to be ready for bids in about a week.

Burundi: Reintegration efforts provide incomes and help to rebuild lives
For Marie-Chantal Misago in southwest Burundi, the road she is helping to rebuild to a nearby health centre and school is a sign of how things have improved since the war ended in 2005.
- The USD 24 million Community Rehabilitation Programme works in six of Burundi's 17 provinces severely affected by the 12-year war.
- Women, youth, former combatants and other vulnerable groups rehabilitate basic infrastructure over 78 days.
- With savings from their income 5,296 people so far have signed up to form associations to start micro-enterprises.
- The programme promotes the reintegration of ex-combatants, formerly displaced persons, and indigenous populations.
- It aims to reach almost 80,000 people, a third of them women, over three years.
"The crisis ran so deep, I would never have imagined myself working with all these different groups of people," says the mother of seven from Nyagasaka village, who is rehabilitating the five-mile road together with former combatants, returnees and other members of her community.
Misago is one of almost 13,000 people participating in a broad initiative supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that provides short-term jobs to people living in areas that were severely affected by the conflict.
Women, youth, former combatants and other vulnerable groups are selected by the local authorities to rehabilitate basic infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools and other buildings over a period of about 78 days.
They are also encouraged to save part of their incomes, and form associations that could support them to start small businesses such as tailoring and livestock rearing. Misago is one of the 5,296 people who have signed up, saving a third of what she earns to use as capital.
"I now have an income and can feed my children and buy school materials, something which was very difficult for me to do just a few months ago," she says. "Now I have also registered with a group to operate a flour mill."
The USD 24 million Community Rehabilitation Programme works in six of the country's 17 provinces, and promotes the reintegration of ex-combatants, formerly displaced persons, and indigenous populations. It aims to reach almost 80,000 people, a third of them women, over three years.
Not far from Nyagasaka, in the Rumonge urban centre, another 80 people are at work producing reinforced bricks and building a police station, which when completed in mid-2012 will help reinforce community security and rule of law.
Jordan Ryan, who heads UNDP's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery, recently visited both Nyagasaka and Rumonge. "I can vouch for the fact that today, tools for rebuilding have replaced weapons, and that young citizens are in the process of working together to forge the future of the country," Ryan said.
He also noted that by working together, community members and ex-combatants are developing more trusting relationships with one another— an important step towards building sustainable peace.

I keep thinking about what would have happened in Jena Louisiana during the days that lynching was sanctioned. After the fight in the school yard that got the 6 young boys charged with attempted murder for kicking their classmate with their tennis shoes, the next day there would have been 6 nooses hanging from the tree, each with one of the Jena 6 hung from it.
We are more "civilized" today. We just destroy the lives of teenagers by putting them in jail until they lose hope and feel like they are too old to have a life. We lynch their minds instead of their bodies.

Yes it is a good thing this did not happen during the days of "lynching". They were over-charged and they certainly do not deserve 15 years in jail but they did commit a crime. This was more than a school-yard fight and does warrant criminal charges.
I also think it would have been more apprpriate for the slogan to be "Justice for the Jena6" as opposed to "Free the Jena6". Nothing warrants a six-on-one attack on a helpless, unconscious victim no matter what the color of his skin.

The thing about adding to what has been done to the boys already is that they have already been punished enough. Mychal Bell is back in jail because he supposedly violated probation when he got in the Jena 6 fight. He has not been convicted for that because the adult conviction was thrown out. It was pure meanness. The judge refused to recuse himself even though he was biased. When he was bailed out after the 10 months in jail---more than enough time for a simple assault or simple battery charge, one of the other boys had only been out for two weeks. Another one is working as a barber not having been allowed to go back to school. One got sent to Texas to live with his grandmother because there were threats on his life. I did not hear about the other three. The boy they beat up had made racial slurs against them. He was part of the group accusing the black kids of burning down the school building. There is that much separatism in Jena. He really did not look any more beat up than in any school yard fight. He went to a school function the same night.
As far as his being unconcious goes, it must have been really brief since he was not said to have a concussion.
The Jena 6 boys were all good students. Mychal Bell was being recruited for a college football scholarship. Apparently he had a bit of an anger management problem. Teenagers tend to act without thinking of the long term consequences. That is why they are kids and not adults. They are not fully developed.
The noose hangers, one dropped out and one was kicked out. The other had a mama who was a special education teacher. There is no greater pressure to stay in school than if your mama is a teacher. He graduated.
Frankly, from the pictures I saw of them, at least 2 looked like they were special ed children.
I think justice has already been done and overdone. This is something that should have gotten a year probation, finish the year at the alternative school and anger management classes. I think there was jealousy that a poor black kid from the far distant sticks of the most conservative part of Louisiana was likely to make it big at LSU. DeSoto Parish was one of several northern parishes that voted for David Duke for Governor in 1990. David Duke was the Grand Wizard of the KKK. It was a major embarrassment to the entire Southeast. It is also one of the places where Bobby Jindal went last month to ensure his election. Last election he lost because his opponents called him by his Indian name, darkened his skin in their hate ads and convinced the rednecks he was a foreigner even though he is second generation and born in Baton Rouge. He even went to public school.
I consider the DA of Jena in the same category as Nifong, using black people to get what he wants. Nifong manipulated them the same way, trying to curry their favor by prosecuting white boys who obviously did not rape that stripper. Now Jena's guy tried to curry the rednecks by being hardnosed with the black boys but doing nothing to the white children who started the problem. Even if he could not get them for a hate crime, hanging a noose is a terroristic threat. It has never meant anything but political assasination.
I read where the neo-nazis are planning a March on Jena for Martin Luther King Day. Now they know where to go to get attention. And up in Shreveport, which is at the top of Louisiana, the KKK in Arkansas has been leaving calling cards on people's doors suggesting they join. This is 2007 and stuff that should have gone away 50 years ago is back in full view of America.

True, we are far from being completely civilized. The problem lies in several factors: lack of education that makes one aware of racial struggles, parents who do not promote equality and free speech in their home, and the incapability of the government to address more important issues in the country (focus on domestic problems rather than on foreign entanglements).
I hope this forum will mark the beginning of an advancement toward a truly civilized society.

Post subject: Heads up---another noose
Now this one is scary. A cop in Thibadeaux (Tib a dough) Louisiana was just fired for not being able to explain why he was carrying a noose in his police car. Thibadeaux is in Southwest Louisiana. It was made famous by the Hank Williams Song---Me Oh My Oh and another called "Amos Moses" that probably came out in the 1970s. Thew area is heavily swampland. Go on WAFB.com if you want to read about it.
There were a lot of homeless guys murdered in that area shortly before Katrina and then, about a year after they started up again. They were mixed racially but all disinfranchised people. They thought they had the guy who did it but now I wonder. This cop is a big guy who looks neo-nazi.
There has been a KKK resurgence in Arkansas, but this is a long way from there.

Derek Mooney with his unique mix of conversation, information, advice and entertainment.
We find out about the unpredictable cycle of the Titan Arum - also known as the "stinky plant" - and why it's currently flowering in Washington. We learn how older male beetles make better fathers. And: close encounters of the reptilian kind - we chat to the Dubliner who encountered a snake in his bathroom!
Eanna ni Lamhna is incensed today! When she went to fill out her AA Survey, she discovered that bees, ants and wasps were described as pests! Conor Faughnan, Director of Policy with AA Ireland, joins us on the line to tell us why the AA are surveying people about bees and ants, and why wasps are pests!
During the week we got a very interesting e-mail into the office from a chap called Paul Wade, in Drumcondra in Dublin:
We were up in Donegal for the weekend, and arrived home at 7.30ish on Sunday night. At 8.30ish, I thought I would visit the throne room with my Sunday paper ... I walked into the bog, and there was a SNAKE wrapped around the taps and plug chain on the sink - I kid you not, a great big SNAKE!! It was at least 5 feet long, black with white markings.
This morning, producer Pat O'Mahony went to meet Paul at his home in Drumcondra this morning to find out all about his serpentine encounter!
Kevin Cunningham is from the National Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Ballivor in County Meath, and he came to the rescue in Paul's hour of need. This afternoon, Kevin joins us on the line from the sanctuary to tell us more about the snake rescue!
Click here to read the NEAS Guide to dealing with various exotic animals.
Mature male burying beetles make better fathers than their younger counterparts. That's one of the findings of research by Exeter University's Centre for Ecology and Conservation published in the journal Proceedings Of The Royal Society of London.
Nicrophorus vespilloides, one of the burying beetles studied by Dr. Megan Head
One of the big puzzles of evolutionary biology is why males care for offspring that aren't theirs. To explain, Derek is joined from the BBC studios in London by Dr Megan Head, Doctor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Exeter... To find out more, you can read this statement from the University of Exeter, or visit the website of Dr. Megan Head.
Ant-like lines have been weaving their way about the United States Botanic Gardens Conservatory in Washington... the lines are not ants or tropical beetles, but curious humans coming in their tens of thousands every day to see a giant phallus-like and smelly flower, the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum).
Ari Novy is a plant scientist and Public Programmes Manager at the Botanic Gardens, and he joins Derek and the panel on the line today from Washington!
The flower is now collapsing, and entering a dormant stage; the Botanic Gardens in Washington have set up a webcam focusing on flower, and you view the webcam, and find out lots more about the titan arum, by visiting their website
Peter Nolan from Templeogue got in touch this week, to say that he had an unusual problem. The gutters on the back of the house are full of grass and weeds - yet none of his neighbours have any.
He has a theory as to why this is so, and he asked us to come out to see his weeds, and to assess his theory.
We sent Terry Flanagan along to find out more…
If you were listening yesterday, you'll have heard Mary Kingston's "yukky" report about parasites like Bilharzia and Tissue Myiasis, and Larvae Migraines, and other such tropical illnesses that you can pick up abroad.
Well, no sooner had we done the report than we heard that celebrity lawyer Gerald Kean was in hospital after getting an insect bite while on holidays in Portugal...
This afternoon, Gerald joins us on the line from his hospital bed in Blackrock clinic...
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Need a little girlfriend time? And maybe some pampering?
Spending time with our girlfriends is perhaps the most wonderful experience of female friendship. The way that we communicate and share is unique to our friendship. Sometimes we laugh, we share, cry, laugh some more or walk side-by-side in silence. Always we connect like no other relationship and feel all the benefits that female friendship provides.
We're exploring lots of ways, during our Month of Friendship, to reconnect with old friends and build into new friendships. Today's girlfriend advice: get a mani/pedi together.
How is that building into friendships? Well, we girls generally like a little pampering, right? We also all love time with our friends. Combining the two is, well ,,, just 'efficient' – not to mention fun! It is the perfect opportunity to sit side-by-side, enjoy the experience and talk about all kinds of silly things like TV, People Magazine, kids and all the fab conversations we have when we're just hanging with our friends.
We got a few tips from our girlfriends (and added some ourselves) for making this a perfect way to spend an hour or two together:
- Jennifer shared this great girlfriend advice: "I bring my own polish for pedi's. That way I know I'll have a color I like and if I get a chip, I can easily fix it instead of running back for a whole new pedi." (Thanks – love that one!)
- @ShaynaBurns tweeted: "Salon with a friend! I don't find idle chat with strangers relaxing, so it's nice to have someone to talk to." (I agree!)
- Pick a slow day for the manicure and/or pedicure – often the rates may be lower on a Monday or Tuesday and it will be less crowded so you can definitely sit together and feel like you can take your time a little more.
- Make it a Pedi Party – Schedule a salon for multiple manicure or pedicures and invite a bunch of your girlfriends. Many spas will let you bring in snacks and beverages. Make it a party or host a shower in a spa.
- Give each other Manicures and Pedicures - You don't have to go to a spa. You can save money and have your own snacks and music by doing the spa treatments at home. Buy some manicure/pedicure tools/kits (or dig some out of your own nail supplies), get your favorite polish, remover, soaking dishes, etc. and take turns pampering the other. (Here's info on how to do your own manicure/pedicure.)
Just have fun with it and spend time with your girlfriends! Share your mani/pedi stories and advice too!
Days 1-15 of our Month of Friendship:
- Day 1: Throw a girlfriend dinner party
- Day 2: Girlfriend Gratitude
- Day 3: Social Media Friends
- Day 4: Make a memory gift for your girlfriend
- Day 5: Phone a Friend!
- Day 6: Plan a Girlfriend Trip
- Day 7: Pamper your Pals
- Day 8: Make a Friend Laugh
- Day 9: Start a Girlfriend Tradition
- Day 10: Go Shopping with your Girlfriends
- Day 11: Remember a friend you've lost, in honor of 9/11
- Day 12: Make dinner for your girlfriend
- Day 13: Send your girlfriend a card
- Day 14: Host a Girlfriend Happy Hour, GNO
- Day 15: Practice Random Acts of Kindness

Album Review
The second album by
Jefferson Airplane
Surrealistic Pillow
was a groundbreaking piece of folk-rock-based psychedelia, and it hit -- literally -- like a shot heard round the world; where the later efforts from bands like
the Grateful Dead
Quicksilver Messenger Service
, and especially,
the Charlatans
, were initially not too much more than cult successes,
Surrealistic Pillow
rode the pop charts for most of 1967, soaring into that rarefied Top Five region occupied by the likes of
the Beatles
the Rolling Stones
, and so on, to which few American rock acts apart from
the Byrds
had been able to lay claim since 1964. And decades later the album still comes off as strong as any of those artists' best work. From the Top Ten singles "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" to the sublime "Embryonic Journey," the sensibilities are fierce, the material manages to be both melodic and complex (and it rocks, too), and the performances, sparked by new member
Grace Slick
on most of the lead vocals, are inspired, helped along by
Jerry Garcia
(serving as spiritual and musical advisor and sometimes guitarist). Every song is a perfectly cut diamond, too perfect in the eyes of the bandmembers, who felt that following the direction of producer
Rick Jarrard
and working within three- and four-minute running times, and delivering carefully sung accompaniments and succinct solos, resulted in a record that didn't represent their real sound. Regardless, they did wonderful things with the music within that framework, and the only pity is that RCA didn't record for official release any of the group's shows from the same era, when this material made up the bulk of their repertory. That way the live versions, with the band's creativity unrestricted, could be compared and contrasted with the record. The songwriting was spread around between
Marty Balin
Paul Kantner
, and
Jorma Kaukonen
, and
(who never had a prettier song than "Today," which he'd actually written for
Tony Bennett
) shared the vocals; the whole album was resplendent in a happy balance of all of these creative elements, before excessive experimentation (musical and chemical) began affecting the band's ability to do a straightforward song. The group never made a better album, and few artists from the era ever did.
Surrealistic Pillow
on CD has been problematic -- actually, make that a real pain in the ass. It's been reissued numerous times on compact disc, in distinctly different editions -- a plain 11-song disc from the 1980s that sounded wretched and was an embarrassment; a high-priced RCA-BMG gold-disc upgrade, with significantly better sound from the mid-'90s that encompassed the stereo and mono mixes of the album; a European version from 2000/2001 (with four bonus tracks but no mono mix or liner notes) that got into the U.S. as an import; a U.S.-issued 2001 upgrade, initially available in the bizarre four-CD box
, which encompassed the stereo and mono mixes in a brighter, sharper, louder remastering than the 1996 version, but still -- in some listeners' eyes -- lacking the presence and the soaring sound of the original LP; and a 2003 reissue (on the BMG Heritage label), mastered by renowned reissue producer
Bob Irwin
(of Sundazed Records fame), including the mono single versions of "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," along with the related bonus tracks "Come Back Baby," "In the Morning," "J.P.P. McStep B. Blues," and "Go to Her," which have previously been scattered around various anthologies and other expanded editions. Those tracks generally push
even more to the fore and give the balance of the material a bluesier feel. And there's an uncredited "hidden" bonus cut, an instrumental of "D.C.B.A. - 25."]

A Speech Given at the 2004 Kepler Commencement
Robert Hand
"The liberal arts through the lens of Astrology." What exactly does this mean and what does it suggest for the future role of Kepler? The phrase "liberal arts" in Latin was originally artes liberales. Unfortunately when the phrase was translated into English, it was translated into English words derived from the Latin, not into truly English equivalents. They were, to use the old term, "Englished," but not really translated. The Latin word ars, the singular form of artes, does not mean 'art' in the usual English sense. It means 'skill.' Liberalis actually means "of or belonging to freedom, relating to the freeborn condition of a human being." Artes liberales thus means "the skills which pertain to, and are necessary for being a free human being." But are we not all free?

Nico MarchThank you so much Carol .. and welcome to all of you joining us this evening.
The Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu once said: "The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."
Our Journey began at 2:30am on January 6, 1572 when Johannes Kepler was born.
For those of you not familiar with Johannes Kepler, he was the first man to discover and mathematically define the elliptical property of planetary orbits, known as the heliocentric theory, successfully uniting the theories of Copernicus, Plato and Pythagoras as part of his three laws of planetary motion.
In doing so, he demonstrated the essential value of mathematics in describing the processes of the cosmos, without denying their ancient empirical descriptions.

|Crosby, Emery W. (History - 1874)
|Janet Schwarze
----Source: 1918 History of Clark County, Wisconsin
EMERY W. CROSBY, attorney, orator, and business man, who ranks well in the lead in Clark County affairs, was born in Sheboygan County, this state, Dec. 29, 1874, son of William and Adelle (Little) Crosby, grandson of Stephen and Demana (Wales) Crosby, and descended from a long line of distinguished ancestry on both sides of his house. Members of the Scotch-Irish family of Crosby, and of the English family of Wales fought in the Revolutionary War, and members of the English family of Little have also taken a prominent part in the history of this country. The Crosbys and the Littles are both well known in Sheboygan County. William Crosby was born in Madison County, N. Y., served with distinction in the Civil War, and spent the greater part of the years of his in Sheboygan County, where he and his good wife lived to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary, his wife being the daughter of James Little who was likewise born in New York State and settled at an early day in Sheboygan County, attaining a commanding position among his fellow men, and serving with honor in the Wisconsin Assembly of 1859. With such blood in his veins, Emery W. Crosby was early designed for a career of influence and usefulness. He attended the high school at Glenbeulah, Wis., and the State Normal School at Oshkosh, Wis., and for five years was a teacher in the country schools of his native county. Having then decided to devote-his life to the profession of the law, he matriculated at the Northwestern University, at Evanston, Ill., and was graduated in 1902 with the degree of LL. B. With this preparation he began his career in this county, moving to Abbotsford, and on January 1, 1903, opening his office. His personal qualities, his ability and his fairness, soon attracted attention, and he was marked as a future factor in public life. As a member of the county board he had the opportunity of demonstrating his efficiency, and to enlarge his circle of friends, this laying the foundation for his later success. ln the fall of 1906 he was elected county attorney, and served in that office ably and conscientiously. In 1914 he was elected to the Assembly, and in this capacity made for himself an enviable record being one of the leading members of that body.
In 1915 he ran for judge of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, and in a three cornered fight carried the county by a good majority, though defeated in the district.
He is now successfully engaged in the practice of his profession in Neillsville.
The entrance of the United States in the World War has given him an opportunity for much public effort, and his services as an orator and on various committees have been much in demand. Mr. Crosby's financial affiliation is with the First National Bank, of Neillsville, which he helped to organize, and of which he is now a director.
His fraternal affiliations are with the Blue Lodge, Chapter and Commandery of the Masons, the Canton and the Encampment of the Odd Fellows, and the Beavers, Woodmen and Moose.
Mr. Crosby was married, in June, 1901, to Rosa M. Beck born in Sheboygan County, Wis., daughter of Fred and Bertha (Krams) Beek, the former of whom was born in Germany, came to Wisconsin in pioneer days, and served in the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Crosby have one child, Frederick, born Oct. 13, 1906. Of Mr. Crosby it has been said: He is a young man of excellent ability, and good legal training, a strong speaker, and possessed of a pleasant personality, with the happy faculty of making staunch life-long friends. During his experience at the bar, by energetic hard work, constant attention to business, loyalty to the interests of his clients, and honesty in dealing with them, always taking the position to avoid needless and expensive litigation, he has gained a good reputation for the thoroughness with which he prepares his cases, and has won the title of the poor man's lawyer, so great is the confidence in which the people hold him. The popularity and success that he has gained in this region of the state has been due to his fidelity and to his effort to use all men fairly and squarely. He is a tireless student, and with-his wide experience and strong mental and physical force and temperament, is ideal timber for any position to which the people may call him. Young in years and of excellent health and good training, he is now in the full flush of virile and energetic manhood. His fairness before the courts wins the admiration even of his adversaries, and he is well qualified and endowed with all those characteristics which make for good citizenship and a useful life.

certification and Mark played a pivotal role in the last ISO cycle when the
county was given a very favorable rating. I want to thank Mark for being
willing to step up and help at this critical time."

All I can say is Juan Miguel Pineda review of this is TOTALLY wrong. I have been a metallica fan for quite awhile and to be honest I was a little leary about them performing with the san francisco symphony, but I was amazed when I first heard it. The orchastra fills in some parts of the classic Metallica songs(One and Master of Puppets) that were other wise somewhat dull. This is music at its best. I would just like to quite something I read in a magizine review of S&M, "nothing says rock, like an angery cello."
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Having been fans of both heavier classical music and heavy metal for over two decades, it was positively astounding for us to see those two worlds merge into one in this great video. We have always been partial to The Call of Ktulu, Master of Puppets and For Whom the Bell Tolls, but watching them performed here shed an entirely new light on the musical structure, for the first time bringing to light what those songs actually contain. And the new song, No Leaf Clover – well, you will just have to experience it for yourself. Lastly it must be said that Metallica, in our view, have never in their entire career performed as they do here. They have always been good, on quite a few occasions terriffic – but this, ladies and gentlemen, this has simply to be seen to be believed. A word of advice: please view this on a powerful surround system and a big, quality monitor. To reap the full benefits of this performance, we believe it to be absolutely essential.
this is the LIMITED EDITION 2 tapes . one of them is the live concert and the other is special bonus featuring 40 minutes of behind the scenes footage , interviews with metallica and the symphony . Her you will find the bonus tape funy as hell especialy from JAMES ! must have for a Metallica fan .
If you liked the S&M CD I guarantee you that you will like the DVD even more. If you have seen the VHS version or if you own it, you might just think it is the same thing in higher quality on DVD, but there is much more. This video has so many great special features. My favorite was the way you can filter the audio to hear only the symphony without Metallica, or only Metallica without the symphony. The first thing I did was listen to "No Leaf Clover" without the symphony. Another really cool feature is the angle changes that you can do on select songs. You can watch certain songs at 5 different angles. The first is the original edited camera views, but you can also watch these songs with the camera focused on one of the four band members, James, Lars, Jason, and Kirk. The DVD also features an excellent behind the scenes documentary featuring interviews with the band and with conductor Michael Kamen about preparation for the concert and how it all came to be. Even if you already have the VHS version, I would still get this DVD if I were you. The video quality and sound quality both greatly surpass that of the VHS version. This is a DVD that no Metallica fan should go without.
The direction is simply stunning.The director of Metallica's Cunning Stunts stretches more direction muscle here.The editing is also excellent.Pros:*It's a Metallica greatest hits concert!*The San Fransisco Symphony were amazing.I've never seen an orchestra play so fast.*The lights,editing,direction,effects and the whole setting in general were brilliant.*Jaymz' voice was so terrific.Sometimes deep(most of the time),sometimes touching(Nothing Else Matters,No Leaf Clover) and sometimes powerful(The Thing That Should Not Be,Master of Puppets,-Human).Cons:*Why couldn't we see a lot of Jason in the beginning of "For Whom The Bell Tolls"?*"Of Wolf And Man" shouldn't have been changed.It's the perfect Metallica song.*James still hasn't perfected the part "sleep with one eye open,gripping your pillow tight—exit:light,enter:night".It's not the same as the original.In the original,the word "light" seems to be extended,like this :"Eeeeexit liiiiight!".About the S&M documentary,it's outstanding.The pre-show and post-show doc's have always been so much fun.My advice: watch the documentary first and then the concert. I regret watching the concert first. Don't make my mistake.And about the memorable moments in my review of the S&M audio CD,I forgot to add to them Lars' staggeringly fast rolls in "Fuel", "Master of Puppets", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and a lot others.By the way, was it just me, or was James having a blast performing "The Thing That Should Not Be"? I like it when he jumps.Also, add to the phenomenal songs, "Battery". "Devil's Dance" and "Enter Sandman" were also very cool.By the way,I changed my mind:I think that Hammett's original "Of Wolf And Man" solo was better than S&M's.(I said the opposite in my cd review)If you ask me what's THE most memorable moment of the concert,it's definitely that part of "Of Wolf And Man" where James says "…so seek the wolf in thyseeeeeeeeeeeelf!" with the symphony building up.And the best part in this part is Jason's background scream.What a rush!Bottom line:this is one unbelievable epic.I can't recommend it higher.

text: LAYTON, Utah (AP) - July is full-fledged baby season for one Utah family. The Deseret News reports (http://bit.ly/1co677m) three sisters from Layton gave birth to three baby boys in the month of July, including two who were born about an hour apart. The trio says they didn't plan on getting pregnant at the same time. Twenty-four-year-old Misti Stokes says she found out first. Her 21-year-old sister, Courtnee Hoffman, later asked her if she had a pregnancy test to spare. It was positive. The sisters asked 25-year-old Kristal Turner if she was sad she wasn't expecting, but she said no - because she was also pregnant. Stokes gave birth to her baby, Boston, on July 3. Hoffman had her son, Stryker, early Saturday, and Turner's baby, Mack, was born 65 minutes later in the same hospital. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — Construction has been completed and a new public access site on the Susquehanna River south of Cooperstown is now open, according to a media release from the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Otsego Land Trust.
The new site, called the Compton Bridge Conservation Area, will allow anglers and boaters with car top boats to access the Susquehanna River on County Route 11C in the town of Middlefield. The site is located between the east end of the bridge and the Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley Railroad tracks.
The new access site is the result of a joint effort by DEC staff, the Otsego Land Trust, the Chesapeake Conservancy, the Upper Susquehanna Coalition, the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, the Otsego County Highway Department, and the Headwaters River Trail Partnership, according to DEC Regional Director Gene Kelly.
"This is a fine example of what can get accomplished when a number of like-minded groups work together for a common cause," Kelly said in the release.
"What started as a three-acre purchase has propelled Otsego Land Trust into a new category that has the potential of not just providing recreational opportunities in Otsego County, but also allows us to contribute to large scale waterway protection on a landscape level involving the Susquehanna watershed," said Harry Levine, chair of the Otsego Land Trust Board of Directors.
Located at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and Oaks Creek, the site attracts local anglers in the spring looking for brown trout and later in the year in search of walleye and smallmouth bass among other resident fishes, according to the DEC. Oaks Creek flows into the Susquehanna River at the site and is stocked annually with brown trout a number of miles upstream from the Susquehanna. However, some trout may be found in the Susquehanna River when water temperatures are cooler in the winter, spring and fall.
The site has parking on both sides of the county highway. On the north side, there is a walkway down to the Susquehanna River.

Gonzalez hit .577 (15-for-26) with five doubles and a triple during the week as the Diamondbacks went 4-3 on a homestand against division rivals San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"Working on slowing things down, taking more walks," Gonzalez said last week when asked about what he was working on with Schu. Gonzalez has seen fewer good pitches to hit since Richie Sexson went down with a season-ending injury.
It's the fourth time Gonzalez has won the award since joining the Diamondbacks in 1999. He also has two NL Player of the Month Awards on his resume from April and June 2001.
The week was quite a turnaround for Gonzalez, who batted .138 during an 18-game slump from May 11-30.

As pointed out by garlon here, Brett Nottingham is the 2009 East Bay Offensive Football Player of the Year. Here's an excerpt from the link above: "This year, at a school that produced former Gatorade National Player of the Year Kyle Wright and McAllister, Nottingham rewrote the record book. For his accomplishments this season, he has been named the Bay Area News Group East Bay Football Offensive Player of the Year. And the marks he set are historic. His 3,962 yards and 45 touchdown passes both rank second in Northern California single-season history, according to the CalHiSports.com State Record Book and Almanac. His 7,467 career passing yards rank seventh in NorCal history, and his 69.1 percent career completion percentage is fifth in state history." Congrats to Brett. I'm getting really excited seeing all these recruits pile on the accolades. Can't wait to see him and our other recruits next year. GO BRUINS.

In the past few days, we've been recognizing some of Cass County's Good Neighbors.
These are folks who go above and beyond to help someone across town or down the street.
None seek recognition.
Gordon Southern, a retired teacher who is now director of the Walton-Tipton Township Public Library, credits his fellow Walton residents for instilling in him a volunteer spirit.
"This community has a sense of voluntarism, too, and I think that's how I got into so many things," he said.
Dan Farris, a Logansport police officer who sprang into action when a freak thunderstorm knocked down half of a neighbor's large maple tree, says it was just the neighborly thing to do.
"We were all out there cutting it up, hauling it around, trying to get rid of it," he recalled. "It's just what we do up here. Everybody takes care of everybody else."
Or how about Dave Mayhill, another guy who likes to keep his good deeds quiet. He credits his parents, Jim and Ruthie Mayhill, with instilling in him the spirit of a Good Neighbor.
"You do it because you want to do it," he said. "First thing, it's the right thing to do. It comes from my background of how I was raised by my parents. If you're able to help someone, do it."
And then there were Alicia and Bob Pifer, active members of Shiloh Christian Church.
Alicia credits the church with promoting a sense of voluntarism.
"It's a church that everybody works together," she said.

"We're just people looking for things to do," she said.
That's what good neighbors do.
They help out without being asked. When the pipes burst and your house is under water, Good Neighbors show up with buckets and a mop.
