In an effort to prevent the closing of Xavier Prep at the end of the school year, alumni, family and friends came together and formed the Xavier Prep Foundation Fund. This newly created fund will be partnered with the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
Those involved hope this new effort will mobilize supporters to raise the money needed to keep the school open.

Raiders admit £50k crowbar raid in Bacup
9:00pm Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in News
TWO men have admitted their involvement in a raid at Bacup Hub which caused £50,000 damage.
George Taylor, 23, of Blackthorn Terrace, Bacup, and Christopher Richards, 25, of Gordon Street, Bacup, pleaded guilty to burglary, at Burnley Magistrates' Court.
They were part of a four-strong gang who broke into the Burnley Road community centre, on January 2, using a crowbar.
Owner Catherine Murphy said she was disgusted, especially as Richards held his wedding reception at the venue last August.
Having trashed the venue's bar, the intruders stole dozens of bottles of spirits during a spree that lasted more than nine hours.
The culprits initially disabled the alarm at around 10.45pm, and waited across the road to see if there was any response.
After breaking in through the badminton court, they remained on the site until 7.15am the next morning, leaving with goods several times, and returning in different clothes. Sports classes and car boot sales were cancelled as a result of the damage.
Ms Murphy said: "I'm delighted they've been in court, but there are still at least two more people out there.
"I really went out on a limb for Chris (Richards) and his wedding. I feel betrayed.
"The police have done really well. It was cringeworthy watching what they did back on CCTV.
"I have spent £8,000 already replacing stolen stuff.
"We've got cardboard and wood in place of broken windows, a new alarm that calls us within three minutes of being activated, and seven new CCTV cameras.
"My insurers are waiting until the court process is completed before they let me know if they can help."
The defendants will be sentenced at Burnley Crown Court on March 4.

New Admin Theme WIP.
19 February 2011 at 11:11am
For a couple of weeks now I have been working on a new admin "skin/theme" for SS. This basically grew out of frustration with the lack of UI refinements over the years for SS. This is not a redesign of the admin interface but rather just a look and feel modification to make the user experience more enjoyable. Color palette, grid/padding, typography(!), contrast/emphasis were all modified via the CSS. I did not touch any markup as it would introduce a whole new set of problems that I didn't feel like dealing with.
The other motivator for this was to roll up my sleeves and jump into CSS3. Most of the gradients and buttons etc are for the most part using CSS3 declarations.
I usually don't post work in progress but thought I would throw it up here to see if there is any interest and maybe motivate me to push on. Lots of incomplete items in this screen grab. The Page Tree action buttons and the Image panel need some refinement and a whole slew of other things. Anyways let me know your thoughts

Nice work on the concept! SilverStripe UI hasn't really had a huge overhaul since 2.2 (nearly 3 years ago now) . Part of SilverStripe 3.0 is a UI overhaul (I have seen some of the early concepts from the designers and it's looking pretty flash). Make sure you follow the dev mailing list to be the first to know when the design work is released for discussion!
Re: New Admin Theme WIP.
20 February 2011 at 5:27am
Thanks Willr I appreciate it. I have been following the 3.0 discussion via Uncle Cheese (who I sit next to at Bluehousegroup Group). That was part of the reason I didn't take it upon myself to do a whole redesign of the ui as I know 3.0 is immanent. I didn't realize they already had some screens done though and will definitely check it out.

The scuttlebutt around Zack Greinke these days mostly has to do with trade rumors. Considering he's a free agent after the season, and that the Brewers have been terrible this season, it makes a lot of sense that the Brewers would flip him for shiny prospects.
The problem is that Greinke is good at baseballing, and he's been the best pitcher for the Brewers this year. The Brewers would love to keep him, and according to Jon Heyman, they're going to make a concerted efford to do so:
The Milwaukee Brewers are believed willing to offer close to $100 million over five years to free-agent-to-be Zack Greinke, according to a person familiar with their thinking. But people close to the team hold little hope that Greinke will sign in mid-season with the Brewers to pass up free agency.
It's still exceptionally likely that Greinke will wait for the bidding war of free agency. But whether the Brewers trade him away or not, this might be a sign that they'll be one of the participants in the bidding war.

Shirtless Ansel Elgort: 'I Would Go Gay For Tom Hardy'
Ansel Elgort shows off his shirtless six pack in a new feature for Flaunt magazine's Men's Spring Fashion 2013 issue, out on newsstands now!
Here is what the 19-year-old Carrie and Divergent actor had to share with the mag:
On being a triple threat (actor, singer, dancer): "I consider myself an actor first and foremost. I've spent seven years fine-tuning my craft, learning how to lose control while being in control."
On getting the role in Carrie: "When I finally found out I got the part, I literally skipped down Madison Avenue full-force while listening to progressive house-music. I tasted euphoria in that moment. Now I know what it feels like to be high."
On his acting inspiration and celebrity crush, Tom Hardy: "He lets himself become the character and reveals so much about himself in the process. He is very special. I have a girlfriend and I love her BUT I would go gay for Tom!!"

Product Information
- Brilliant Bead Rings from Klutz
- We recommend this product for ages 10 and up
What It Is
Brilliant Bead Rings is an update of Klutz's Bead Rings activity book, which was first published in 1999. The basic idea is the same: String shimmering beads on flexible wire to form durable and fashionable little rings. The new Brilliant Bead Rings activity book and kit is bigger and features updated seed beads in a bright color palette and the addition of jewel-toned specialty beads. The book comes with more than 50 pages of step-by-step instructions to create seven sparkly new ring designs, including crisscross, garland, serpentine, posey, jewels, daisy chain, friendship, and snowflake. Brilliant Bead Rings comes with more than 1,300 beads, including seed beads, two big blossom beads and two small blossom beads, five types of jewel beads (small rounds, big rounds, small ovals, small bicones, and big bicones), and two sizes of bugle beads. Also included is 32-gauge wire. Kids will also need a pair of nail clippers, which are not included. Kids can work right out of the closable bead tray that's attached to the book.
Is It Fun?
This is a great activity kit for kids who are interested in making their own jewelry. It lets kids get creative as they design unique and wearable bead rings.
The rings at the front of the book are a little easier to make than the ones toward the back, so kids may want to start with the easier designs so they can get the hang of creating the rings.
Who It's For
Brilliant Bead Rings is for ages 10 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
When making the rings, it's best to work on a flat, well-lit surface. Klutz recommends spreading a small towel or other cloth under the bead tray as you work. Then if you drop a bead, it won't roll too far.
It may take kids 20-30 minutes to create their ring, but remember that making the jewelry is all part of the fun and play.
Extra supplies for Brilliant Bead Rings can be purchased on Klutz.com.

On Miami Coaching Rumors
1. Fire Coach D
The vast majority of fans who want Coach D fired haven't thought about their complaint thoroughly. The following are a list of questions directed toward such people.
1. Was Miami's defense particularly talented this year? Consider recruiting rankings and depth.
2. Did the offense routinely help the defense, especially after Duke went down?
3. Who would replace Coach D?
4. Anybody on the current staff? Why not just fire everybody?
5. So, you want Golden to fire his close friend, who's been with him through good and bad times, and expect him to develop that sort of trust in a coordinator right before signing day?
My prediction is that everybody stays put. And for the love of consistency, and for all the recruits (Chad Thomas) who would probably de-commit, I hope Coach D doesn't get fired.
2. Golden will go to Penn State
This is for Mark May, who's an idiot. First of all, Golden is not an elite coach. Yes, he's good and I love him, but May's an idiot for not considering more likely candidates, like James Franklin of Vanderbilt. Proven track record, please. Anybody who's followed Miami this year can't possibly think that Golden is a hot name or whatever. Second, Penn State obviously has a lot of sanctions right now. Why would Golden go through that again?
State of the U nation:
1. Is Golden an elite coach?
2. Do you think he's even on the radar? Answer the first question first.
3. Would a coach who's been through bad sanctions want to do that again? I'm wondering if there's even a precedent.

Back in 1992, then-state Rep. Joyce Brinkman thought it was a good idea when the Legislature passed her bill that created a specialty license plate to generate money to conserve wildlife habitats around the state.
Little did she know it would open the door to scores of private groups clamoring for their own specialty plates as a way to raise cash for their organizations.
Twenty years after Indiana issued its first specialty plate — emblazoned with a bald eagle and the word "Environment" — to benefit the Indiana Heritage Trust, there are more than 100 state-issued plates that generate millions of dollars for nonprofit groups.
That's too many, Brinkman said Wednesday, after testifying in front of a legislative study committee that was pushed into taking up the specialty license plate issue this summer.
"I'm a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization now," said Brinkman, who raises money for a poetry advocacy group, Brick Street Poetry Inc. "I'd love to have the state help me raise money, but I don't think it's the state's job to do that."
Others disagree. During Wednesday's hearing, a lineup of nonprofit officials urged committee members not to kill the program that generated controversy last year when a specialty license plate was issued — and later rescinded — for a group that helps gay teens. Nancy Tibbett of Bicycle Indiana described the specialty plates as a "fundraising vehicle" needed to raise money for services that the state won't fund. Her organization, which advocates for bicycle safety, benefits from the specialty license plate that reads "Share the Road."
For every "Share the Road" plate issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles for an additional $40 fee, her organization gets $25. The same is true for a wide range of organizations with specialty plates, ranging from the National Rifle Association to the Rotary Club.
Tibbett described Hoosiers as a "frugal lot" who don't like to donate money unless they can get something in return. What they get in return is a chance to express themselves on their license plates.
That's why the state-issued specialty plates have been successful, she and others said. Last year, the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles issued more than 448,000 specialty plates.
Among the top sellers is the Indianapolis Colts specialty plate; those sales go to help defray the cost of building Lucas Oil Stadium, the Colts' home stadium.
Five years ago, the Legislature gave up the job of approving specialty license plates and handed it over to the BMV, which set up a process for organizations to follow to be approved for a plate.
That process was called into question by a group of conservative legislators earlier this year, who were unhappy that the BMV approved a specialty plate for the Indiana Youth Group, an organization that aims to help gay teens.
A bill that would have set new rules for the specialty license plates failed during the session. But legislators created a new summer study committee, the Interim Study Committee on Special Group Recognition License Plates, and assigned it the task of coming up with a solution.

Blue's Restaurant, Bar & Day Resort
Located on an inviting curve of beach just where the road turns south out of town, this semi-enclosed restaurant has indoor and beachfront seating with a spectacular view of the bay.
Located on an inviting curve of beach just where the road turns south out of town, this semi-enclosed restaurant has indoor and beachfront seating with a spectacular view of the bay.
On the road to Rancho Margot, look for the small sign leading to this pizzeria which is hidden at the end of a grassy alley. The intimate, two-story structure is covered in graffiti scrawled by international visitors. Owner John DiVita of Los Angeles is lively and entertaining, with stories about his past life as a punk rocker and his escape from corporate America.
Sure most Costa Rican pizza are fairly pathetic affairs and it doesn't instill lots of confidence when you see a restaurant named after a website. Still, all doubts will be cast aside when a server at Pizzamail.it brings out the pie: a thin-crust, wood-fired piece of Italy in the middle of the jungle.
Johnny's has been serving up wood-fired, thin-crust pizzas since 1993. We're partial to its original Traviesa with artichoke hearts, mushrooms, red onion and tomato sauce spiced with oregano, but the Monteverde sounds good too. Think: prosciutto, green olives and home-grown organic leeks.
Set in the Pueblito Sur development, this is the local expat choice for wood-fired pizza in Playa Del Coco. The restaurant is lovingly set in a brick courtyard around a gurgling fountain, sprinkled with candlelit tables. They also do a range of pastas, a nice yellow fin tuna seared and drenched in a lime, caper, olive and cherry tomato sauce, and scald steaks and chops too.
Driftwood sits on the northern end of Hopkins, on the beach, and serves excellent pizza beneath a thatched roof. Ingredients are a mix of locally sourced and imported, and dough is made using a secret recipe. Something of a social hub, there are also weekly events like Saturday bloody Mary brunches and Sunday beach BBQs with ribs, chicken, fish, beer and volleyball.
Something of a Santa Catalina institution, this open-air rancho offers delicious thin-crust pizzas baked in a stone oven. Nightlife tends to concentrate here – perhaps it's the cheep beer, though there's also good wine and picnic tables conducive to sharing. It gets crowded, so arrive early in the night. You will find Jamming on the road to the beach-facing hotels.
There's pizza, and then there's pizza – this much loved pizzeria definitely falls into the latter category, especially since there are more than 30 different kinds of pies on the menu. Of course, considering that each one emerges from an authentic wood-fired oven, and is topped with gourmet ingredients from both Costa Rica and abroad, you really can't go wrong here.
Delicate superthin-crust pizza comes in 90 different variations at this rustic San Pedro family spot, where you can satisfy your cravings for salame picante (pepperoni). The heaping bowls of pasta are a deal, including the delicious pasta pane e vino , penne in a light tomato sauce studded with artichokes and mushrooms. There is a decent selection of wine (from US$8).
Owned by Andrea, an Italian who's lived in Utila since the 1990s, this place specializes in authentic thin-crust pizza from a purpose-built brick oven. There's always a daily special and the cafe also scores for salads, sandwiches, espresso coffee and drinks. If you eat here you're welcome to use the hotel pool and sunbeds.
Grab a table out front to watch the action on the main drag at the island's best pizza-pie place. There's a wide menu featuring seafood dishes like snapper in shellfish sauce or shrimp cocktails, but the standard assortment of pasta dishes. Eggplant with pesto is a great veggie option.
Right at the center of this busy neighborhood, this legendary pizza joint serves up OK pies (beware the Hawaiian, though, with its glazed-pineapple topping). The real reason you're here, however, is for the atmosphere. Kick back, grab a beer and watch as the dueling mariachis battle it out.

Using tr and dos2unix
The tr tool is a real wizard. This simple command lets you replace strings in text files. Whether you are replacing letters or just removing whitespace, you will be amazed at tr's versatility.
The tr command replaces characters
in text files. The command
reads the standard input and
sends the results to standard output. But
of course, you can use the familiar operators
to redirect both streams. In fact, tr
really shines in combination with other
shell commands.
Simple Replacements
The tr command expects two strings as
arguments and replaces all the occurrences
of the first argument in a text
with the second argument. This may
sound complicated, but let's look at a
simple example. The following command
replaces the "e"s in "Petronella"
with "a"s:

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A judge on Tuesday denied shock probation – at least for the time being -- for an ex-softball coach for Jefferson County Public Schools who pleaded guilty to numerous crimes.
In April 2012, Fairdale High School's then-assistant athletic director and softball coach Adrian Adkins was accused of driving drunk, breaking through a crash scene, hitting an officer with his car, fleeing the scene and fighting officers when they caught up with him.
Officer Sean Szpila suffered non-life-threatening injuries when Adkins' pickup truck slammed into a squad car, an ambulance and a vehicle involved in an accident Szpila was investigating along the Gene Snyder Freeway/Interstate 265 when Adkins caused the second crash.
"People strike an animal and stop to see if it's okay," Szpila said. "[Adkins] continued on, and then, when the officer actually caught him, he resisted and fought the officers. It's kind of showing that he's not remorseful."
Adkins resigned from JCPS last school year. So far, he has spent three months behind bars for his crimes.
Judge McKay Chauvin said Tuesday he would not grant shock probation to Adkins immediately but that he likely would within 30 to 90 days.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he's satisfied with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's handling of the federal investigation into fraud at his family-owned business, and said the league has no plans to intervene at this time.
Goodell, who was at Browns training camp Thursday to launch a youth football initiative on safety, called Haslam a "man of great integrity." Goodell says Haslam has been working hard to fix the problems at Pilot Flying J, which had its headquarters raided in April by the FBI and IRS as part of a probe into fraud at the company.
Goodell said the will continue to monitor the situation, but doesn't think "it's a matter for us at this moment."
Goodell said Haslam has been in constant contact with the league to provide updates throughout the investigation.

How to Take Perfect Pics

Photographs help us capture memories and see through the eyes of others. Professional photographers may have advanced equipment, but that doesn't mean you can't take great pictures with your own camera at home and on the road. With the right techniques, you'll be a pro in no time.
The experts at Kodak (http://exchange.kodak.com/?mcid=KCHnav) offer plenty of advice for novice and skilled photographers alike:
- Hold your camera at the subject's eye level, especially when photographing kids and pets. Even if they're not looking directly at the camera, the eye-level angle will create a personal and inviting feeling.
- Use your camera's flash setting, even outdoors. You may think a flash isn't necessary in bright sunshine, but it will help lighten dark shadows under your subject's eyes and nose, particularly when the sun is directly overhead. On cloudy days, the flash will help brighten up faces and make them stand out.
- Your instinct may be to put your subject in the center of your photo, but Kodak pros recommend placing your subject off-center to really bring your picture to life. Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid and place your subject at one of the intersecting lines.
AdvancedPhotography.net is also a great source for photography tips, and here is some of their best advice:
- Unless intentional for artistic purposes, a blurry photograph is undesirable. When taking a picture, "Hold the camera still, frame the shot, hold the breath, press the shutter all the way down and hold it for a second before you release it." Many pictures come out blurry due to awkward pressing of the shutter-release button. You can also help keep your camera still by using a tripod.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different camera settings and angles. Try shooting in black and white or at night. Try capturing insects or things with intricate textures – the tiny details will fascinate those viewing your finished photograph.
- Sometimes excess clutter makes for a powerful photograph, but for every day purposes, it often ruins pictures. Pay attention to the entire frame and eliminate anything that distracts from your subject.
The more you try new things with your camera, the more you'll learn which techniques work best for you. Photographs are personal keepsakes that last a lifetime, so get out there and perfect your skills behind the lens.

|Former Rotary International PolioPlus Committee Chairman William Sergeant receives an award from UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman in recognition of his leadership in eradicating polio.
By Kun Li
NEW YORK, USA, 6 September 2006 – The UNICEF Executive Board has honoured former Rotary International leader William Sergeant for his longstanding commitment in helping to create a polio-free world.
"Today, the Board pays tribute to the perseverance and dedication of a leader who has guided and inspired 1.2 million Rotarians around the world and who has worked for 20 years for the eradication of polio," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman.
"William Sergeant is a model of unwavering commitment to a cause," Ms. Veneman said. "In a world where public attention to issues can shift in the blink of an eye, Mr. Sergeant remains steadfast in Rotary's goal of eradicating polio."

Now retired, Mr. Sergeant was the head of Rotary International's PolioPlus Programme, which has raised more than 600 million dollars to help eradicate polio worldwide. As the second largest donor for the cause – surpassed only by the United States Government – Rotary's polio funds have supported partners in 79 countries.
"Our goal has been the eradication of polio – not just immunizing the children, but making sure that we can actually eliminate the virus. We have reduced the amount of polio cases by 99 per cent since 1998," said Mr. Sergeant after receiving a commemorative plaque from Ms. Veneman.
"I think the greatest danger is not from the virus itself. It's from people that might get discouraged," said Mr. Sergeant. "We must keep in mind how successful we have been, and there is no reason whatsoever why we cannot finish the work."

Hey everyone! Do you remember the brave young guy I posted about back in December? Well I just got an update that Zeke had surgery late last night and as of midnight, he now has a new heart!!! He is currently recovering at UCLA and not out of the woods yet, but this is such incredible new. Now more than ever his family needs the support as bills will start to pile when he gets out of the hospital, and they have set up a fund-raiser to help raise funds for Zeke.
100% of money raised through ticket sales and the silent auction will go to the Children's Organ Transplant Association, and the event is hosted by my good friend Mario Lopez and Maria Menounos and held at the Farmer's Market at The Grove on February 21!
You can get tickets for the event and help take part in the fundraiser here: helpzeke.com

Arts committee chair resigns after comments

I will add that Mr. Parkinson confirmed that he posted the comments that he later denied in a discussion on the Voice's online forum. As I recall, he explained that it was the result of an evening of drinking.
There is still a problem here. If the City's Code of Conduct prohibits the expression of views on any topics, including the character or motives of public figures serving in local office, then that prohibition is illegal; it is in violation of both the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the free speech provision of the California Constitution:
California Constitution: ARTICLE 1 SEC. 2. (a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
U.S. Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The courts have ruled that the First Amendment, which originally applied only to the federal government, also applies to the states. This means that it also applies to municipal corporations because municipal corporations are a part of the state government rather than a third level.
Law aside, do we want a municipal government that does not operate in full and enthusiastic and vigorous compliance with both the letter and the spirit of freedom of speech?
That Code of Conduct needs to be rewritten to eliminate any and all restrictions on what any citizen serving in local government says, as long as he or she makes it clear that the speaking is being done as a private person rather than on behalf of the city.
Then the city council should do something visible to make it clear that henceforth the city shall operate in full accord with freedom of speech. Political correctness should not and cannot be a requirement for any job or role within the city government.

The Code of Conduct is here: Web Link
Secions 2 and 3 abriged:
2. Comply with the Law: Councilmembers shall comply with... the United States and California constitutions...
3. Conduct of Members: Councilmembers shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other members of the City Council, boards, commissions, committees, staff or the public.
Section 3 is unconstitutional on its face and cannot be saved without being rewritten to avoid any mention of speech. The current text can serve as a guide and as a requested standard of behavior, but it cannot be imposed coercively, i.e. nonconformance may not be punished.
If the Mountain View Municipal Corporation does not amend this document and bring itself into full conformance to the spirit and the letter of the First Amendment, then that offense against the law of the land is far more harmful, far more threatening, and far more obnoxious than any expression of any sentiment, no matter how politically incorrect, could ever be.
on Apr 18, 2013 at 3:01 pm
Now let's see... Parkinson made the bigoted remarks and then explained them away as the result of "an evening of drinking"!? And that's his idea of an acceptable explanation?
Here's what happened: He spoke his bigoted feelings while his phony respect was obliterated by alcohol. :))
I'm glad we're rid of him and I wish I could snap my fingers and all of his type would be gone from this planet.
Btw: bigotry runs in a mob: scratch a racist you'll find a sexist; scratch a sexist you'll find a homophobe; scratch an anti-Semite and you'll find a racist. And so it goes.
All of them are based in arrogant ignorance and vary only regarding primary target. These people are a blight on social peace.

The Acer Iconia A1-810 goes low on price, but the Google Nexus 7 costs about the same and is still the tablet to get with its sharper screen and more comfortable build.
With the Inspiron 11 3000, Dell delivers an everyday ultraportable hybrid with an excellent battery life at a good price.
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 comes up short in performance, features, and value compared with competing tablets.

Dedicated Lightroom fans will find Lightroom mobile a fine lean-back photo-editing experience, but it needs a little bulking up before it's enough to attract new subscribers to the fold.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a phone for the size and price of the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G that performs as well as it does.
For sheer typing responsiveness, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air is still a pro. But, even with its new tilt-angle design, it's no longer quite as unique as it used to be.
If you want a sturdy, easy-to-use keyboard accessory that looks nearly as good as the iPad itself, the Belkin Qode Thin Type is one of the best.
Featuring a magnesium-lithium alloy chassis, the Intel-powered gaming notebook from MSI is indeed drool-worthy in both specs and design.

Panama Francis
Cab Calloway & his Cabaliers
Panama Francis...
"We used to walk off the bandstand at the Savoy and stick our chest out because we swung the band and made them people dance. Even to this day, I look out in the audience for one person tapping their feet or nodding their head -- I'm playing for that cat the rest of the night.That's who I'm playing for because I know they're getting the message."
David "Panama" Francis has never failed to deliver the message in over sixty years as a drummer. Born on December 21, 1918, in Miami, Florida, Panama began entertaining at the young age of eight. His first night club engagement was at age 13, and he laughingly remembers his mother waiting backstage to take him home at the end of the show!
He began touring soon after, but his illustrious career really took off when he arrived in New York City in 1938. He hooked up with Tab Smith four days after hitting town and went on to play with Billy Hick's Sizzling Six, the Roy Eldridge Orchestra, and a memorable six years with Lucky Millinder's Orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom. Panama often played with bands at the famed Savoy Ballroom in Harlem which was known as the "home of the happy feet." Panama recalls, "back then, jazz was something else! The music and dance were one! I would look out on the dance floor and hundreds of people were all over the place... on the floor... swingin' and having a good time." The Savoy Sultans, according to Dizzy Gillespie, "were the swingingest band there ever was."
Panama spent five years with Cab Calloway and was featured on many Calloway recordings. He played a stint with Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Ray Conniff and Sy Oliver before becoming one the most successful studio drummers ever.
Panama's exceptional competence and swing enabled him to record with artists as varied as John Lee Hooker, Eubie Blake, Ella Fitzgerald, Illinois Jacquet, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson and Big Joe Turner. During the onset of mainstream Rhythm & Blues and Rock-n-Roll, Panama became the busiest and most sought after studio drummer around. Panama was the drummer on the original demo of then, heart-throb... Elvis Presley. His identifiable drum beat enlivened the music of such Rock-n-Roll greats as Buddy Holly ("Peggy Sue"), Four Seasons ("Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man"), Pretenders ("Only You," "The Great Pretender," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "My Prayer"), Bobby Darren ("Splish Splash"), and Neil Sedaka ("Calendar Girl"). His Rhythm and Blues recordings include "Prisoner of Love" for James Brown, "What a Difference a Day Makes" for Dinah Washington, "Drown in My Own Tears" for Ray Charles, and "Jim Dandy" for Laverne Baker.
In 1979, Panama Francis reestablished the Savoy Sultans and achieved almost overnight success, receiving the 1980 New York Jazz Award for the Best New Group. Since then, the Savoy Sultans have been touring and recording six albums, two of which were nominated for Grammy Awards. From 1980 through 1985, the Sultans enjoyed a residence at New York's prestigious Rainbow Room.
Panama also appeared in several films with Cab Calloway, "Angel Heart" (with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet), "Lady Sings the Blues" (with Diana Ross, Richard Pryor, Billy Dee Williams, and Gordon Parks), "The Learning Tree," and "Rock Around the Clock." More recently, Panama Francis can be seen in the MTV and VH-1 chart-busting Madonna playback, "Secrets."
Panama Francis became the first musician to be recognized by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 1993 and was also inducted into the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Panama's drum sticks are on display at the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame to commemorate the musical artistry and lifelong contributions Panama has made to twentieth century American music.
Francis may be among the most-recorded drummers in history, as he was among the first of the "jazz" drummers to crossover into rock and r & b studio work, drumming for artists like Ray Charles and Buddy Holly.
He played with Cab Calloway's big band and small group from 1947 to 1952, and many of these titles can be found on "Cab Calloway and Company" (1931-1949: RCA label), and on some tracks on "Are You Hep To The Jive?" (1940-1947: Sony label).
A real rarity that has just been issued on CD shows Francis as a real rhythm and blues groundbreaker. "All Stars 1949" (Collectables label) is a great document of definite, early rock and roll. In 1974, Francis re-formed what was the legendary "house band" at The Savoy Ballroom, The Savoy Sultans.
They recorded a series of superior projects, including "Grooving" (1982: Stash label), "Everything Swings" (1984: Stash label), and a hard-to-find outing with blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon from 1980 on the Europeon Black and Blue label.

Hardball or T-Ball? C'mon Chris: Stop Being a Softy
The show bills itself as 'Hardball.' But in surrounding himself with regulars who are either certified liberals or renegade Republicans, doesn't Chris Matthews prove himself to be a softy, unwilling or unable to take the high heat from true-blue Republican flamethrowers?
Let me say something that might surprise some NewsBusters readers and dismay others. I like Matthews. Not that conservatives are the arbiters of patriotism, but I do consider Chris someone who loves his country and, as misguided as he may be on various policy issues - has its best interests at heart. He's no Keith Olbermann.
That said, although he professes not to be a partisan and will speak to Democrats about "your" - not "our" - party, there can be little doubt that his rooting interest hasn't changed much since the days he was a top aide to Tip.
Fair enough. But if this is really 'Hardball,' and not just a comfy echo chamber, why is it that Matthews' regular guests are essentially confined to liberals, mainstream moderate-left pundits, and Republicans notable for being renegades all-too-willing to criticize the GOP?
Take tonight's show.
- First, a report from Matthews' main reporting man, David Shuster, who reliably offers a Republican-unfriendly take.
- Next, the left-leaning NBC heavyweight, Andrea Mitchell.
- Followed by the Dem governor of New Mexico and former Clinton UN Ambassador Bill Richardson.
- Succeeded by MSM pundit Howard Fineman.
- After a report from another NBC reporter, Mike Viqueira, Matthews' two final guests were the affable but hardly conservative Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, and the only person who is colorably a Republican: Pat Buchanan. Pat is a Hardball regular, and with good reason. He gives Chris cover - 'see, I do too have on conservatives!' But Buchanan is Chris' kind of Republican- one who quit the GOP and is often a bitter critic of Republicans. Witness tonight's show, in which Pat accused Republicans of a "cover-up" of the Foley matter, and warned Denny Hastert not to lie to the FBI. With "Republicans" like Pat, who needs Bob Shrum?
So, c'mon Chris. Stop playing softball, and find yourself a real Republican regular!

What started out as a call for action on a Facebook page by a Port Chester resident upset by a rash of violent crimes in the village has led to a "Town Hall" style meeting that is designed to let village residents ask questions, offer suggestions and get involved with improving Port Chester.
Port Chester Mayor Dennis G. Pilla said the "Improving our Village: Quality of life issues, strategies and solutions" session is set for Thursday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. at the Port Chester Senior Community Center, 222 Grace Church St., behind Village Hall.
"There are many residents who are interested in what's going on, and how can they become more involved to help," Pilla said. "At the same time, the village government needs public input. We also need to communicate more with the public about things we're actively doing to improve the Village."
Pilla, members of the village Board of Trustees, new village manager Chris Steers and Port Chester Police Chief Joseph Krzeminski are expected to attend the meeting, which is open to the public.
The session was set up after discussions between Pilla and Keith Morlino, a third-generation Port Chester resident who had become growingly concerned over conditions in the village because of a rash of violent incidents — robberies, group attacks and a murder — which took place over the summer.
Port Chester police have made multiple arrests in the robberies, assaults and in a rash of thefts from cars in the village. Since the arrests, the thefts from cars have dropped off and the rash of early-morning attacks and muggings have stopped. Detectives, however, have not yet made any arrests in the shooting death of Wilfredo Rivera, 21, of Port Chester and Stamford, CT, on South Regent Street.
In response to the crimes, Morlino set up a page on Facebook called "Making Port Chester a better place." The page, as off this morning, has 266 members.
Morlino, who works as a salesman, said his initial focus was on local crime, but he said his discussions with members of the community and public officials like Pilla have convinced him there are many other issues that residents like himself can — and should — become involved with to make Port Chester a better place to live and work.
Pilla, who said he meets with many local groups throughout the year to talk about local issues and concerns, said this meeting is unique because it has been prompted by discussions on social media, involving residents who do not necessary attend other public meetings like village Board of Trustees sessions.
Pilla said he is hopeful by gathering members of Morlino's Facebook group at a meeting they can learn about what they can do as residents, and then spread to word to other residents — in person and on social media.

Skiing: US medallist Peterson commits suicide
Thursday 28 July 2011
Olympic freestyle skiing medallist Jeret Peterson has been found dead from a gunshot wound in Utah. The 29-year-old won silver in the aerials at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.
Police said Peterson, found in a remote canyon east of Salt Lake City, had shot himself. He had been arrested on Friday in Idaho on a drink-driving charge.
Known for his trademark "Hurricane" jump, Peterson won the World aerials title in 2005.
The chief executive of the United States Ski team, Bill Marolt, said: "Jeret was a great champion who will be missed and remembered as a positive, innovative force on not only his sport of freestyle aerials, but on the entire US Freestyle Ski Team family and everyone he touched."

Creative children aren't just good artists—they're good writers, problem solvers and thinkers.
When we think of all the skills a child needs to learn to be able to succeed academically, we often think of reading, writing, concentration, math and so on. However, one of the most important skills children need to develop is their creativity. Creativity is what children use to write stories, solve problems, play music, make arts and crafts and even perform complex math operations.
Simply put, creativity is being able to think of new ideas. To help our children become creative we need to foster their natural curiosity and sense of adventure. Children are like sponges that can absorb new information easily, and a child that is curious is going to go out of his way to learn new things. The more things that children find interesting, the easier it will be for them to make new connections between them and come up with new ideas.
There are many things we can do as parents to encourage creative thinking in their children. Some of them are pretty obvious like encouraging coloring and drawing, and others are less obvious such as helping your child to think for himself. Below is a list of easy tips that can help children develop their creativity.
Being creative is hard work. Children, like adults, can be very critical of their efforts and may be inclined to give up easily if they don't get something right straight away. However, there isn't a genius out there who hasn't spent years and years practicing to make the most of their talent. Thomas Edison said "Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration." If your child becomes frustrated because he can't do something perfectly, be sympathetic and explain to him that everyone needs practice to master new things. Be positive about the things he does well. For example, if he finds it hard to draw Santa on his homemade Christmas card, point out how well he can color with his crayons. With perseverance and guidance, every child can realize the creative potential within.

R Dizzle's Offseason News - Monta Ellis Starts a Rap Career - Throw a Kit on that...
The Warriors will not void Monta Ellis' contract. Is this a move to boost his trade value?
Clearly this situation is still unclear. Update (7:42pm): Here's some relevant interviews from yesterday and today's The Razor and Mr. T show on KNBR 680. * Tim Kawakami: Part 1 | Part 2 * Marcus Thompson
"That's about the only good thing I've done this year," Nelson said, "and I hope that will continue for (next season). Morale has been good. ... After a tough loss, we come together and have a pretty good practice, and everybody gets along." A few minutes later, Monta Ellis finished shooting and came to the sideline. He must have left his happy face on the floor. In a tense 2 1/2 minutes, he contradicted pretty much everything Nelson and the Warriors had said about him over the last two weeks. The comments might have been the best defense Ellis has ever played.-- Gwen Knapp drops some great humor in They can't even get their stories straight [SFGate] And TNT thinks they know drama?
Does Monta Ellis have an attitude problem? What's Monta Moped Ellis camp's beef with the Warriors?
Great. Yet another injury to our already fragile roster. What do you think about bringing him back in January now? Do you think we should have traded him? Do you think we should void his contract? Do you think we can still make the playoffs? Do you STILL BELIEVE? Do you think they should cut him off the roster and pick me up so I can play with my hero Rob Kurz? Definitely YES to the last one. Also peep Geoff Lepper's Fanshot.
Did you rock the vote? Polling GSoM: Cheer or Boo Monta Ellis? Polling GSoM: Do you want the Warriors to retain the indefinite right to void Monta Ellis' $66 million contract? OPEN...
MT timelines Moped Gate. Robert Rowell fan I am not, but I have to side with Rowell over Chris Mullin on this situation even though he and the Warriors acted way too slowly on this matter publicly: "Chris Mullin made it perfectly clear to both Mr. Cohan and myself that he didn't think this was a big deal at the beginning, and we happen to think it's a very big deal. We happen to think that it's a big deal for our fans, it's a big deal for our season ticket-holders, it's a big deal for our business partners, it's a big deal for the Warriors organization." If Rowell's claims about Mullin not taking this seriously are true, then Mullin just isn't cut out to be an executive in this league or any professional organization- not that Rowell is a qualified president or Chris Cohan is a competent owner. Now let's hope Rowell isn't just all talk and makes it up to Warriors fans/ season ticket holders this year. (Cohan + Rowell- I know you're reading this. Come classy for a change.)
From GSoM friend Tim Kawakami: The return of Monta Ellis: How much difference can he make? (thanks gswfan1) * 7:10 p.m. update: I know you're just dying to hear this… or NOT… but Ellis' agent...
I was very concerned that he would maybe never be the same player again, because it was a very severe ankle (injury) — he severed two tendons in his ankle, and they had to surgically repair them and put pins in them and a whole bunch of stuff — and I was thinking he may never be the same again, but I can assure you that he will be. I'm watching him in practice and he's coming back way faster than I thought. . . . I think he'll be the same Monta we've grown to love and enjoy watching.Dr. Don Nelson via 48Minutes.net (somewhere Dan Fegan is reading the Dr. Nelson line and cracking up)

A local child advocacy group is expanding to keep up with the growing rate and awareness of child abuse in our area.
Nearly 3 million child abuse cases are reported every year in the U.S. Right here in Amarillo, an advocacy group called The Bridge, is expanding to help combat this issue.
"It's a neutral child friendly place where children can come to be interviewed by someone who is trained in how to assess them and interview them appropriately for their age, to find out information when they have been a victim or witness to some type of crime," said April Leming, Executive Director.
The bridge first opened it's doors in 1989. It served as the first children's advocacy group in the state of Texas and currently provides services to all 26 counties in the Panhandle.
"In the beginning we used to interview on sexual abuse, primarily almost exclusively," Leming said. "But now we interview children who are victims of physical abuse, who have witnessed domestic violence, who have witnessed drug use, who have witnessed homicide."
Over $600,000 has been raised to help with construction efforts. The addition will include more office space and a larger education room so more people can be properly trained to help young abuse victims.
"We need to move forward in this direction in order to better meet the needs of children in our community, and to better meet the needs of our partner agencies as well as our staff," said Leming.
Construction is starting in the next week and is expected to be done by December, 2013.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP) -- Polls are showing that young adults in America are increasingly favoring same-sex marriage, and more likely to favor legalizing same-sex marriage compared to older generations of Americans.
There are important reasons to temper a conclusion that large-scale legalization of same-sex marriage is inevitable because of the beliefs of these emerging adults. Sometimes demographics are destiny; sometimes they are not.
Consider the following:
1) Younger generations generally tend to be more permissive than their parents.
Young adults are generally more accepting of moving moral boundaries than their parents. This has historically been a hallmark of being young. But young adults tend to become more conservative, generally, as they move into their marriage and parenting years.
And while it's different issues in every generation, the same trends are seen. The idealized convictions of youth tend to shift with age. How did Reagan win two terms as president in the 1980s just as the 1960s young adults were growing and establishing their lives? The grown-up hippies probably didn't vote him into office, but their politics changed enough to not keep him out. The ideals of youth in one decade does not necessarily determine the political outcomes of later decades.
2) Generations can tend to be more liberal in the theoretical.
This point is similar to the first. Abortion and divorce have had a heavy toll on this emerging generation of young adults. They have vast experience with it in varying ways -- like no other generation -- and it has marked them deeply.
For many of their parents, abortion and divorce were held as positive, hopeful changes to personal choice and social mores. But this generation lived through the experimentation in widespread abortion and divorce and their personal experiences have not matched their parents' hopefulness.
Boomers didn't have any real, previous experience with cohabitation and sexual experimentation. They just sounded like a good idea coming from the mouths of cultural revolutionaries. The same is likely to be true with same-sex marriage and this generation today. They have no experience whatsoever with the idea, but it sounds good from their vantage point.
But their children will be different because they WILL have experience with same-sex marriage, personally and through their peers, even if it doesn't grow beyond the few states that have legalized it. And I suspect that -- just like with abortion, divorce, cohabitation and "free" sex -- their experience with it will be worse in various ways than even the most alarmist among us have imagined.
3) Young adult support for same-sex marriage is thin and not well developed.
The Public Religion Research Institute -- an organization doing some of the major polling on this question -- released an interesting survey recently. Their numbers show growing support for same-sex marriage among emerging adults, but what was very interesting is the survey looked at the nature and depth of the conviction of young adults on both abortion and same-sex marriage. Their experience is seen in their response to abortion and their shallow idealism in their response to same-sex marriage.
On abortion, the young adults used strong, convicted top-of-mind words to describe their position on abortion: "Death," "disgusting," "sad," "babies," "irresponsible," "killing an innocent life," "choice" and "personal".
The same young adults used very different kinds of words for their feelings on same-sex marriage. Literally comments like: "awesome," "equal," "go for it," "how you feel," "it's cool," "love," "no one's business," "politics," "gross," "not my thing," "weird." [1]
Young people might favor same-sex marriage, but it would not be correct to say they have a well thought-out, worked-through conviction on the topic.
So many see it as an issue of "equality" supported in their reaction to the same-sex marriage advocate's rhetoric and blanket accusation of "hate," "intolerance" and "bigotry" toward anyone who disapproves of redefining marriage in favor of genderless marriage.
4) Same-sex marriage supporters have softer convictions and fail to vote.
The Public Religion Research Institute reports that "a solid majority (54 percent) of those who oppose same-sex marriage say it is a critical issue, while only 14 percent of those who strongly favor same-sex marriage say it is a critical issue." [2]
The Alliance Defense Fund reports that in all the state votes on same-sex marriage over the last decade, 63 percent of all active voters have voted to affirm natural marriage. The record that counts -- the one at the ballot box -- show that those who report supporting same-sex marriage are not as likely to show up to vote their convictions.
5) Young evangelicals are not becoming more politically liberal.
Baylor sociologists Rodney Stark and Byron Johnson recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "major media hailed another Barna report that young evangelicals are increasingly embracing liberal
politics. .National surveys offer no support for this claim young evangelicals actually remain as
conservative as their parents."
We should very much try to connect with emerging young adults on the issue of same-sex marriage and parenting.
But that will be done by faithfully, humbly and thoughtfully making our case on why same-sex marriage and parenting are not smart ideas for all of us. This is based on the reality of how God created humanity universally as male and female and why these two parts of humanity need each other and how the family is the primary institution that bridges this mysterious divide. We cannot give up on this message. This faithfulness is what bore fruit in slowly turning around attitudes on the life issue of abortion.
Glenn T. Stanton is the director for family formation studies at Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, Colo., and is the author of the new book, "The Ring Makes All the Difference: The Hidden Consequences of Cohabitation and the Strong Benefits of Marriage" (Moody, 2011).
