Daily Soccer Fix's Steve Davis gives us this report from South Africa, where he concludes that the lack of World Cup scoring thus far is because of the ball.
JOHANNESBURG - Five quick points to go over from Friday's stirring 2-2 rally:
-- We just keep singing the same ol' song. How painfully predictable was the way this match unfolded? (Well, not a two-goal rally. That's always hard to call.) But how, in the name of Pele himself, does the United States keep falling behind? Six of 10 final-round qualifiers saw the U.S. go down a goal, including twice at home. They collapsed just four minutes in against England.
In Friday's post-game news conference, U.S. manager Bob Bradley seemed far more pleased with the heroic rally than disappointed about yet another sluggish beginning. Still, it's not going to be good enough going forward. Relying on heart and halftime adjustment will eventually catch up to you. Sooner or later, this will crack the Americans. Maybe even next week against Algeria.
-- FIFA really must re-consider its desire to provide smaller, weaker confederations with the opportunity to referee at this level. Koman Coulibaly, from Mali, was easily the worst here so far; he never came close to grabbing hold of this match. (Perhaps thankfully for Clint Dempsey. What was he thinking throwing an elbow in the first minute?)
Speaking of grabbing hold, how many cards should Jozy Altidore probably earned for Slovenia if Coulibaly was more on top of things? As it was, Altidore forced cautions on two Slovenians.
And then, of course, Maurice Edu's goal that wasn't.
Managers see things from one side, and they say things like this all the time. But Bob Bradley's analysis of the goal was spot-on:
"Without seeing it [on replay], from what I heard there were three fouls in the box, all of them against Slovenian players," he said. Indeed.
From Donovan: "To be honest, I don't know how much English he speaks, but we asked several times in a non confrontational manor who the foul was on or what he called and he just ignored us."
-- We've probably seen the last of Jose Torres at World Cup 2010, at least as a starter. It was a big, bold move for Bradley, who doesn't really have room in his system for a fellow who likes to build slow and push the ball around. The coach wants to establish possession, and then look for a route forward. Torres isn't that player - but Bradley took a gamble and threw him out there, believing he needed something extra to unlock the Slovenian defense. Well, there wasn't much unlocking off Torres' boot. I'd have to go back and watch, but I'd be willing to wager he delivered 4-5 lateral or backward passes for every one he moved forward.
At one point, the typically even-handed Donovan let Torres know about it, giving him a little "Hey! Let's get going!" shove. What did Donovan say?
"I think I wanted him to give me the ball, and I let him know," Donovan said.
-- Oguchi Onyewu is not getting it done. I kept hearing how big, bad and fierce Onyewu was against England. But I saw things differently. Yes, the man is 6-4 and built like an NFL linebacker, so of course he's going to be fierce in the tackle. But playing center back at this level is about so much more, and I keep seeing an Onyewu who is rusty, unsure of his whereabouts, vulnerable to being caught out of position. I see a man who just isn't up the job at this level. Seriously, did anyone expect him to be outstanding, wading into the deep end of a World Cup without the benefit of so much as a full match over eight months?
The United States has conceded three goals at World Cup 2010, and Onyewu has been partially responsible for all three. He got sucked out of position against England. He was painfully slow to close the shooter Friday on Slovenia's first and he was at least five yards out of position on the Eastern European's second goal. Either that, or he was correctly positioned and three teammates weren't.
If the United States doesn't make it out of group play, everyone can point to Bradley's decision to gamble on Onyewu as one main reason. His thinking and reaction just isn't where it needs to be.
-- I sometimes wear myself out saying so, but Landon Donovan haters just need to get over it. Where would this team be without him? Because Clint Dempsey was quiet, again, and I just never saw him doing what Donovan did: providing the United States with the initiative and belief in minor miracles with that crackerjack opening goal.
Yes, there was some serendipity involved, as a ball sneaked through Slovenian left back Bojan Jokic. But Donovan seized the moment, aggressively directing his first touch toward goal, whereas so many might have pushed it first to the byline. Then, when neither Benny Feilhaber nor Clint Dempsey could lose their marks, Donovan's shot was heavy-weapons grade. He aimed for goalkeeper Samir Handanovic's head. "I don't think he wanted to get in the way of that one," Donovan said afterward. Watch the replays. Donovan was right.
Later, it was Donovan's entry pass that Altidore worked so supremely over to Michael Bradley.
And his set-piece delivery continues to bother opposition. His pinpoint ball into Edu should have been for the game-winner.
Others who had a good night? Steve Cherundolo is a rock at right back. Playing with a yellow card from the opener and needed to exercise caution, he was nonetheless a cop on the beat.
Jay DeMerit is never elegant, but he certainly was effective Friday. And Jozy Altidore had a breakout performance. His hold-up play was outstanding, and his ability to battle Slovenia's center backs certainly created a wearing effect on the Eastern Europeans.

SELKIRK, N.Y. -- If you thought your Super Bowl plans were exciting-- chances are you don't have anything on one local couple.
Thanks to a Visa sweepstakes promotion, Jenna and Peter Anderson are getting a five day trip for two to Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans.
That covers four nights of hotel accommodations and round trip airfare.
They're also getting $500, VIP tunnel access to watch the players take the field, NFL tailgate party tickets and lunch or dinner with an NFL player.
The sweepstakes was open to credit union members across the country and all the couple had to do was use their Cap Com Visa debit card to be entered for the chance to win.
When they did win-- they told us they couldn't believe it.
"It's a surprise. We had no idea what we were in for and it just came out of nowhere," said Peter Anderson.
Jenna Anderson says she's most looking forward to the half time show.

The Green Bay Packers will likely only have to make it through one more week without injured star defensive back Charles Woodson. Woodson, who hasn't played since October because of a broken collarbone, is trying to get back on the field for next week's regular season finale, according to Packers.com. Woodson will be inactive at least one more week, though, as he's on Green Bay's list for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Also inactive for the Packers is wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who will miss his third straight game with a hamstring injury.
Other inactive players for Green Bay are running back Alex Green, running back James Starks, tight end Tom Crabtree, defensive end C.J. Wilson and defensive lineman Jerel Worthy.
Inactive for the Titans are quarterback Rusty Smith, wide receiver Kendall Wright, defensive back Ryan Mouton, linebacker Colin McCarthy, center Kevin Matthews, offensive tackle Mike Otto and defensive end Scott Solomon.

For most Japanese, horseracing is thought of as an unrefined, male-dominated, gambler's pastime. That preconception has prevented horse tracks from expanding their clientele base to women, who are especially dissuaded from visiting the tracks. But Tokyo City Keiba, located in Ooi, Tokyo, is hoping to change all that.
One of four horse tracks built in central Japan in the 1950s, Tokyo City Keiba has been changing the image of the sport. In the mid-80s, the track established a nightly Twinkle Race, which was a huge success. In 2003, the track sought to expand their client base with the installation of a crowd-pleasing, dynamic lighting scheme provided by Martin Architectural lighting's color changing projection.
In 2003, Tokyo City Keiba opened the new entertainment facility "L-Wing," with restaurants, indoor gardens, and color projection from Martin Architectural Exterior luminaries enriching the gamblers' visit. The new entertainment and colorful atmosphere entices more women to visit the racetrack.
At dusk, L-Wing delights the crowd with color changing projection. During the Twinkle Race, L-Wing paints the paddock in soft shades projected by several Exterior lights. Delicate, discrete colors–so as not to disturb the horses and the race itself–are projected across the area, creating a spectacular view. After the main lighting scheme ends, shorter "light shows" are held every 40 minutes until all visitors have exited the track.
Eight Exterior 600 color changers are installed on each fan of the L-Wing roof, with another six located on the side of the building displaying soft graduated colors that match the structure's design perfectly. Additionally, three Exterior 200 luminaries are installed on the third floor terrace. The Martin fixtures were supplied by Martin Japan. Lighting design was completed by Reiko Chikada Lighting Design Inc.
Today, visitors to Tokyo City Keiba can enjoy more than just a thrilling horse race. A dynamic illumination scheme has added an extra element that has made visiting the racetrack popular among a much broader clientele.

Lafayette, Indiana's WLFI is reporting that the body of Sean Matti, a Purdue running back entering his fifth year with the team, was recovered Tuesday morning in Monticello's Lake Freeman, where he disappeared while swimming at a friend's house party Sunday night. The station also reports that alcohol may have been a contributing factor to Matti's death, with other partygoers telling police they had been drinking, but Matti's official cause of death has not yet been released.
Matti is being remembered this morning at SB Nation's Hammer and Rails, who've been following the story through the social media accounts of Matti's Boilermaker teammates:
I never had a chance to know Matti. he was one of the silent workers on the team that had hustled for four years as a scout team running back, but never played a down in an actual game. He had seen extensive action in several spring games, but never during the regular season.
I can post the usual fodder of this being a senseless tragedy and everything, but the real emotion has been seen all over Twitter this morning.
Sean Matti was 22. Our sincere condolences to his family and to the entire Purdue football community.

Does White House count unborn for tour security?
By Molly Moorhead
Published on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 at 10:56 a.m.
The National Right to Life Committee cried foul on Tuesday after it obtained an email from an Obama administration aide asking future White House visitors to provide information about their unborn babies.
In a news release, the anti-abortion group said the policy was hypocritical because of the Obama administration's support for abortion rights.
"Obama White House recognizes 'baby that has not been born' for White House security purposes, but tolerates legal abortion to moment of birth in District of Columbia," the May 8, 2012, news release said.
We put the claim to the Truth-O-Meter and found that's not quite what the email said. We rated the claim Mostly False.

Rush Hour Traffic Fee - what's this really about?
Original post made by ToldUSo on Apr 18, 2007
What we really need to do is to get some real sources of retail sales tax into our city and actually want to get our neighbors from Moutain View, Redwood City, etc. here to shop, not frighten them away. Even the rumour of this "fee" would keep shoppers out.

If the fee is used to promote effective alternative transit, then it would be beneficial and not discourage out-of-towners. Effective transit could eliminate many middle and high school kids from being driven to schools. Or it could encourage more people who work in Palo Alto to arrive via Caltrain or other transit.
on Apr 19, 2007 at 7:07 am
I will not trade in an area where such a fee is imposed. If you seek commerce you must acomodate customers, not insult them.
on Apr 19, 2007 at 7:33 am
Still haven't learned that the more you tax business, the more likely it is to leave town, or not start in the first place.
on Apr 20, 2007 at 10:23 pm
A large fee should be placed on every business in the Stanford buisness park. It shoud be a parking lot/space fee and collected anually and the money used to improve,speed up traffic on Oregon/Page Mill Expressway and provide shuttle busses to the East Bay area. Also use money collected to discourage cut-thru traffic in residental neighborhoods, school corridors, etc.. It should be high enough to discourage driving to work alone and encourage car pooling and reduce parking spaces for commuters. It should collect several million $$ each year. These businesses only pay a token tax to the city now.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WDRB) -- Behind the genuinely larger-than-life Louisville Slugger bat that greets tourists as they enter the bat museum on West Main Street is a genuine story - about how the world's most famous bat maker made a special gift for the leader of the free world.
"It's cool I don't know a better word to describe it," said Derek Pfister, who manages the personalized bats for the factory.
'Cool' is Derek Pfister's word, but he admits there aren't enough to describe his most recent project.
"Well you know you can't put it in words. It was such a cool opportunity. We make a lot of neat bats for a lot of people. But you can't top the president, you definitely can't top U of L," Pfister said.
Pfister oversaw the effort to personalize Louisville Slugger bats for President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
The gifts were presented to the commander-in-chief Tuesday by Coach Rick Pitino and the national champion U of L men's basketball team during a visit to the White House.
The president's signature was actually extracted off an autographed baseball which Obama signed while campaigning in the Louisville area during his first run for president in 2008.
"You'd be amazed what we can get them off of sometimes.
"That was the Obama signature that we were sent, and that's what we converted it into for laser," Pfister said describing the process of making an image to place on a Louisville Slugger bat.
The result: a piece of America's past time for an American president.
"I think it's a pride thing for everybody. Anyone that's born and raised here - if you don't get that pride, then you haven't been paying attention to what we've been through the last 30 years," Pfister said.
Making the deal even sweeter, Derek is die hard Cards fan.
"Lifelong U of L fan, I was named after Derek Smith. I would've been born in Albuquerque had they gone to the final four in 1979," he said.
Luckily for Derek the Cards' quest that year fell short - making him a Louisville native, a Louisville fan, and now a gift maker for the leader of the free world.
"It's not too many jobs that I can see a picture of the president holding something that I made."

Distance running is being treated to a shock in London in the form of medals — yes, medals — won by Americans. For decades, the sport has been utterly dominated by Kenyan and Ethiopian runners. Since the Sydney games in 2000, eight of the nine medals awarded at 10,000 meters, seven of nine medals in the 5,000-meter race, and five of nine marathon medals went to Kenya or Ethiopia. In that same period, the U.S. had won just one, a silver in the 2004 marathon in Athens.
You have to go back at least as far as the days of Steve Prefontaine and Frank Shorter in the early '70s to find true American distance-running sensations.
That rut ended in spectacular fashion on Saturday when Galen Rupp stormed out of the final turn of the 10,000-meter race to grab silver, only meters behind his training partner, Mo Farah, who is British but trains with Rupp in Oregon. No American had medaled in the 10,000 meters since Billy Mills upset the field and took gold in Tokyo in 1964.
Both Rupp and Farah are coached by one of the most well-known American distance runners ever, Alberto Salazar, who won three New York City Marathons in the 1980s and had a legendary victory in the 1982 Boston Marathon, which became known as the "Duel in the Sun." For the last decade, Salazar has coached the Nike Oregon Project, a program that uses air-thinning technologies to replicate high altitude living conditions, which bolsters the blood's ability to deliver oxygen to the muscles during endurance races. The program was founded by Nike with the goal of putting middle- and long-distance American runners on the Olympic podium. It's apparently working.
The new American assertiveness in multi-lap track events continued Tuesday with silver and fourth-place performances by Leonel Manzano and Matthew Centrowitz (also a Nike Oregon Project athlete), respectively, in the 1,500-meter race.
That means Americans are actually leading the medal count for middle- and long-distance races in London. USA 2. Ethiopia 1. Kenya, unbelievably, has been shut out thus far.
What does this mean for the future of distance running in the U.S.? It's huge.
Not only is it encouraging to see Americans on the podium, but, perhaps most promising, the U.S. is poised to capitalize on this momentum. Nearly every high school in the country has track and cross-country programs, and nearly every city has an annual marathon, not to mention countless 5K and 10K road races. The U.S. hosts three of the most prestigious marathons in the world in the New York City, Boston, and Chicago marathons. Unlike, say, soccer — another major sport where the U.S. has similarly maintained a second-rate status at the international level in recent decades — the cultural infrastructure is there for Americans to succeed in distance running. Perhaps a little Olympic inspiration is the nudge the sport needs to climb to the next level.
Looking ahead, there could be more excitement to come. The men's 5,000 meters starts Wednesday with prelims and will conclude with the final on Saturday. Rupp, the new silver medalist at 10,000 meters, will try for another medal at the 5,000-meter distance, which he won at trials. He'll be joined by compatriots Lopez Lomong and Bernard Lagat. The U.S. hasn't medaled in the 5,000-meter event since 1964, when Bob Schul and Bill Dellinger took gold and bronze, respectively.
Also notable could be the men's 800-meter final, which will be run Thursday. 800 meters is on the short side of middle-distance, but American (and outspoken advocate for athletes' right to promote sponsors) Nick Symmonds is a medal hopeful at that distance. If he runs well it will only add to the momentum that's been established at the longer distances.
The marquee event, though, will happen Sunday morning when all eyes shift to the streets of London for the men's marathon.
Ryan Hall is considered the top American marathoner. His PR, at 2:04:58, is legitimately world class. Oh, and his AT&T commercial, in which he gets through several classic novels on audiobook during a single training run, is the best commercial spot of these Olympics. But maybe, as both marathoner and bibliophile myself, I'm a little biased.
Also representing the U.S. in the marathon will be Abdi Abdirahman and Meb Keflezighi. If he's healthy (he's been slowed in recent years by injury), Keflezighi could be the man to watch. He, more than Hall, has put up results when it matters most. Keflezighi is the only American to medal (silver in Athens 2004) in the Olympic marathon since Frank Shorter in 1976. Keflezighi beat Hall by 22 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials in January. That race was the first U.S. trials to see four American men run under 2:10:00. Which tells me that this team is the best we've ever brought to an Olympics.

Moderator: Everyone, thank you for joining in today's chat with Ricky
Gutierrez. Ricky Gutierrez is now here.
Ricky: Thank you fans for greeting me very nicely. I'm glad to be here.
Lofton007: So far, how has your adjustment to 2nd base been?
RG: It's been great. I feel great over there now. It's been great working with
Omar - he's made it very easy.
mistwalker2001: What are you and Omar practicing to be a better double play
RG: During batting practice, we practice a lot. I try to do it from every angle.
I'll try to do any angle I can.
Lofton007: What was your favorite baseball team growing up?
RG: My favorite baseball team growing up would be St. Louis, because of Ozzie
Lofton007: Who was your favorite player growing up?
RG: My favorite player was Ozzie Smith.
DiningPhilosopher10: When you decided to sign with the Indians, did you at any
point think, "Wait a minute, I'm going to be in the American League"?
Did you think it would be weird to switch leagues?
RG: It hit me after a couple hours after my agent told me Cleveland was interested.
I thought about how I was going to be seeing new cities, new places. So, yeah,
it did feel kinda weird when I thought about it.
DiningPhilosopher10: How do you like the new fake grass that they have in some
stadiums? Is it better than Astroturf?
RG: I think it's nice - It's way better than Astroturf. I think it takes away
the stress from your knees. I think you'll see players lasting longer playing
on that.
jackass666: I would like to know what your expectations are for the team this
year and why do u think that?
RG: My expectations are to finish with a solid offensive year and to be a solid
second baseman. Those are the standards I always set to keep me playing harder
and keep going.
jackass666: What do u think if the team as of right now
RG: I like our team, I like our makeup. In the middle, we have guys who can
knock it out of the ballpark. Then at the top, you have guys who are fast. And
at the bottom of the order we can even hit the ball. Then our pitching is our
strong point.
MLBtribe: How well do you think you have adjusted to the second base position?
RG: So far I think I have adjusted pretty well. The double play - I'm getting
better everyday. I'm getting much more comfortable there like I played there
my whole life.
sayee: Are the shoes of Robby Alomar too big to fit in ??
RG: I've been asked that question all spring. But I don't see myself doing that
- I'm not trying to fill his shoes. I need to fill my own shoes. That doesn't
even cross my mind. He's a great player, a future Hall of Famer, but I just
have to play my game.
BranyanK: Is it reasonable to say that the Tribe will finish up 161-1
and steamroll their way to the Series title?
RG: Hahaha - I wish we could. This is a long season. That would be a dream come
true. But in a realistic life, that's not going to happen.
CoreyK626: With whom have you hit it off the best among your new teammates?
RG: Well, there's a lot of guys I hang around with, but the guy that almost
always around with is Matt Lawton. He's a good guy. You'll most often see me
with him.
MLBtribe: Do you like going up against AL pitching better than NL pitching?
RG: The difference is in the NL you see more fastball when you are behind the
count. With a 3-1, 2-1 counts, the AL tends to pitch more off-speed.
simonefl4: Do you like the environment better in Chicago or in Cleveland?
RG: It's too early to tell. So far it's good here. Everyone gets along and the
chemistry is pretty good.
_1indians: Hi Ricky, How old were you when you first started to love
playing baseball?
RG: Hmm - young age. Five. Ever since I was a little kid, I have had a bat or
ball in my hand. I've been throwing balls off the walls. I've loved it for a
long time.
BranyanK: Bottom of the ninth, guys on second and third, two down,
Tribe down 1. Your up, who do you want to see on the mound?
RG: There's no pitcher you really like to see on the mound. They're all tough.
You just have to be tough and hopefully you'll come through and be the hero
for that night.
DiningPhilosopher10: Do you take time to travel during the offseason? If so
where's the best place you've gone?
RG: We go on ski trips to Colorado, and we go to Hawaii. I take trips with my
family - spend some time together.
johnboy1448: Who is the player on the Tribe that has helped you adjust
to playing in Cleveland the most?
RG: Probably Omar. Because we spend so much time on the field together, he told
me what to expect. He made it comfortable for me.
sayee: Considering the present form the Indians are in, where has the team set
its goals ? We the fans want you to go all the way, but what is your realistic
goals ??
RG: Realistic goals are to try to win the division. I know we're not the favorite.
But we just have to focus and accomplish that goal first.
Metfan13: I have been waiting for you to have breakout year, do you
think Cleveland is the place to have it?
RG: It's a nice hitting ballpark. I can hopefully improve my numbers from last
year in Wrigley. It's a great ballpark to hit in.
Ricky Gutierrez: Thank you everyone for joining me today. It's great
to be here.
Moderator: Thank you everyone for joining the chat. We appreciate all
the great questions that the fans offered today. Hopefully the Tribe will keep
up their winning ways tonight. Have a good night and Go Tribe!

Sample Report
For nearly ten years, starting in the late '90s, art and money had sex in public. Lots of it. And really publicly. Art became news. Prices were equated with artistic value. The highest sellers were seen as the best artists. Galleries got bigger, then became multinational, opening branches here and then in Europe and Asia.

A number of people on this tour complained; apparently we all got the same negative response. When we talked to the tour directors about these problems, they were totally unresponsive.
In KL, after a tour of the local government buildings, a few of historical interest, and a 1/2 hour in Chinatown, we were literally dropped off for three hours at the twin Towers; again, we couldn't get up in them (apparently access is by reservation only), and were limited to the first several floors---another large shopping mall with upscale international stores. We did, on our own, find a good Malay lunch, but, again, I didn't go all the way to KL to find another Armani and Gucci. $68.00/person---not including lunch.
To give them their due, we had wonderful tours to the Elephanta Caves in Mumbai, a large part due to a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide (the Market Tour next day with another guide somehow got "redirected" by some members of the tour who wanted to "buy souvenirs"; it was all we could do to hang on to Crawford Market); a nice Harbor Tour in Cochin, and a fun trishaw ride in Penang.
So...word to the wise: do take the ship; we will again. but plan your own shore excursions.

We have a NEW CD!
Street date August 19, 2014
EVENING is a top seller!
It's recorded with
The Bluetones- Mudcat Ward,
Neil Gouvin, Anthony Geraci
and Mike Welch.
"We approached this one like Hank Williams made records," Ray said about the sessions. "I went in with my lyrics, just rough sketches of the songs and the great musicians in the Bluetones, who always play something exciting. This album's mostly original and in the Chicago Blues vein. Last time, I used a full horn section, so My Life, My Friends, My Music was more jump Blues-oriented. For this one, I wanted to keep things spare and gritty."
Ray's voice combines
the roadhouse grit of
Muddy Waters with a
lonesome desperation
all his own.
Sugar Ray gets so down and out that he makes your
skin crawl.
He has an ability to convey pain
as few bluesmen
of his generation can."

The award
winning blues band
Sugar Ray & The Bluetones have been entertaining
audiences all over the world since 1978
Dear Sugar Ray,
On behalf of Music Resource Group, The IMAs,
and our distinguished judging panelists,
it is our pleasure to congratulate Sugar Ray & the Bluetones
on being nominated in the Blues Album Category
for EVENING
in The 11th Independent Music Awards.
New Sugar Ray and the Bluetones
EVENING CD Review Quotes:
"With absolutely wonderful material,a band on fire,
and one of the best singers and harmonica players around,
there's not a weak or uninspired moment to be found here.
EVENING is a virtual object lesson in how to get it right,
delivered by a master at the top of his game.
The blues simply don't get much better than this. Don't miss it!"
John Taylor, Blinded By Sound
Evening borders on being a primer on old,old,old school blues.
It's spare but melodic, gritty but tuneful, familiar but fresh,
especially with the vocal delivery and lyrics."
Dr. Wesley Britton, Bookpleasures.com
"I just can't stop listening to Evening.
Get it when you can—you won't regret it."
Bill Mitchell, Blues Bytes
"This is a red—hot cracker—jack band and all the tunes have the main ingredients for a hit record: growling guitar, romping piano, a powerful rhythm section and the harp and voice of a legend."
A.J.Wachel, Boston Blues Society
"I think this is Sugar Ray and the Bluetones strongest album yet
and is easily one of my favorites of the year.
Sugar Ray is a paragon of the blues.
EVENING is a killer no filler and I give it my very highest recommendation as one of my favorite CD's of 2011."
Malcolm Kennedy, Washington Blues Society
"Evening certainly accomplishes what it set out to accomplish,
by bringing us 12 tracks of intensely good music,from a band
and a band leader that you would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of artist. Evening gets my highest rating of 5*****,
with enthusiasm. Highly recommended
and thoroughly enjoyed."
John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network
"I have seen these guys countless
times, spoken with them, reviewed Sugar Ray on Amazon.com, etc.
and have all of their CDs. As a group
and individually- Mike Welch's last two are awesome -
and Matt McCabe has two excellent ones as well.
Even John Chan (Chan's Fine Dining, Woonsocket, RI)
will tell you that Sugar Ray is incredibly underrated.
I have seen just about everyone in the Blues - there are many as good
no doubt, few much better, particularly now that Mike is the regular
guitarist. The last time I spoke with Sugar Ray and Mike I commented
about how they seem to know each others' moves, notes, etc.
Mike knows how to follow Ray - it is uncanny to watch.
And Ray said exactly that, and Mike concurred.
They are a joy and we are privileged to get to see them so frequently
here in the Northeast...I never miss them." - Raymond Cooney-fan
Ray has great tone and great phrasing,
singing and playing the harp. One of my favorites!"
Charlie Musselwhite
Ray is the real deal. There is nobody better to represent this music."
Kim Wilson - The Fabulous Thunderbirds
"His approach to the harp is straight from
the heart of Chicago Blues
but he's not just recycling Little Walter licks.
Ray is clever and innovative and
he knows how to be flashy without overdoing it."

CHAZY — The Beekmantown girls' hockey team saved its best for last.
Katie Matott helped the Eagles (8-0-1, 3-0) rally from their first deficit of the season with a game-winning goal at 1:24 of overtime in a 4-3 Upstate Girls' Hockey League victory over Lake Placid at Scotts' Memorial Rink Saturday.
High School Sports Magazine
Yet, the game was almost decided in the final moments of regulation.
With a faceoff to the right of Blue Bombers (5-2, 2-1) goaltender Tanner Stanton, Beekmantown head coach Ray Guay elected to pull Kayleigh Bell for an extra attacker.
After Lake Placid won the draw, a defenseman banked the puck off the far-side boards and off the side of the net as the buzzer sounded.
"It was probably a risky move I made with seven seconds left, but sometimes as a coach you take those chances to try and get the win in regulation for the two points," Guay said. "(Matott) had previously scored a goal off the draw, and we had a set play in store. We weren't able to capitalize, but executed in overtime."
Following a scoreless first period, Matott ripped a wrist shot in the slot at 1:13 of the second period. Kinnan Latremore was credited with the assist, putting Beekmantown up, 1-0.
"(Matott) is very patient with the puck and has a nose for the net," Guay said. "She was able to capitalize on two shots by picking the corners. For her age, she's doing very well."
After goals from Lake Placid's Emily Godin and Beekmantown's Emily Raville, the Eagles took a 2-1 lead into the third period.
With one minute and seven seconds gone in the final stanza, Lake Placid defenseman Carissa Kennedy floated a puck on net from center ice that slipped past Bell and into the back of the net.
Throughout the duration of the game, Guay's squad was unable to overcome the one-goal hump.
"That's the story of our season right now," Guay said. "We usually pepper goalies two-to-one in shots, but it's just one of those deals where you keep banging away and hope that one goes your way.
"Normally, we feel comfortable playing with the lead, but anything can happen as you saw with that fluke goal. It was a tough one to bounce back from, but through tenacity and a will to win, we were able to pull it out."
Samantha Barney ripped a one-time feed from Brooke Reid following a two-on-once chance at 6:12.
But Amanda Peterson connected on a bad angle shot from the bottom of the circle just more than one minute later to the tie game at three before Matott's overtime heroics ended it.
"Every team plays us as if we have a target on our backs," Guay said. "We've finished the regular season the last two years unbeaten and everyone wants a piece of Beekmantown. Our players have to adapt to that and get stoked for every game for the second half of the season. We showed resiliency."
Bell earned the win between the pipes for the Eagles, fending off 14 of 17 shots.
Beekmantown 4, Lake Placid 3 (OT)
Lake Placid 0 1 2 0 — 3
Beekmantown 0 2 1 1 — 4
Second period- 1, BCS, Matott (Latremore), 1:13. 2, LP, Godin, 1:34. 3, BCS, Raville (Guay), 11:28.
Third period- 4, LP, Kennedy (Manning), 1:07. 5, LP, S. Barney (Reid), 6:12. 6, BCS, Peterson (Matott, Villemaire), 7:13 (pp).

Cap Sleeve Lace Over Satin Gown with Illusion Back Style T3299 69 69
Magical My wedding was on May 18, 2013, and this dress was absolutely phenomenal! I did not want a strapless dress, and this was perfect. I was able to dance, walk around, and do some really fun photos. I received so many compliments and praises on my choice of dress. The train is the best part, so vintage and delicate. I highly recommend this dress!! (We also got our bridesmaid dresses through David's Bridal and they were gorgeous!) May 30, 2013
Meant to be! I had viewed this dress online many times and just knew it would be my dress. When my Mom and I went to the store for our consultation we were given a brand new book when we first came in to look through to pick out several styles to try on. I immediately started flipping through the book to find the dress. To my, my Mom's and the consultant's amazement, the page that the dress was on had the top edge bent over (like it came from the printers that way). We all knew that this had to be the dress. The consultant was smart though. She had me to try on two other dresses before this one just so I could know for sure. The other two were nice, but as soon as I put this dress on, it was perfect. All those in the fitting area started to cry as I walked out and before I could even see myself, I was already crying. Then it was time for the veil. The consultant pulled a veil for me to try, but it was not like the one in the picture. She said that one had been discontinued. I was disappointed because I really liked that veil. She had to help another customer and was gone for some time. When she returned she had the veil with her. She said that as she was looking for something else in the back, she came across this veil and it was the last one. I couldn't believe it! It showed me that the dress and veil were truly meant to be mine! May 14, 2013
Beautiful I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said about this dress. Try it on and you will fall in love. Nothing wrong with two loves on your wedding day :-) May 7, 2013
GREAT~! Love the dress! The fit was perfect and the lace detail with beading is absolutely beautiful! David's Bridal consultant was great too...very helpful and very encouraging through the entire process :) VERY happy overall! May 7, 2013

Hello Potential Students!
I've got over 10 years' experience teaching voice, viola, and violin, and also have been sewing and quilting professionally for the past 17 years. If your thread is in a tangle, or if your concerto needs work I'm the teacher for you.
I started teaching strings privately in 1992, and was the head of the strings department at a music school in Cincinnati from 2001 to 2004. During that time I was also working for a professional costume shop designing, sewing, and maintaining sewing machines.
From 2004 until 2010 I traveled the country as a musician, actor, and costume designer for professional theatres from Alaska to Virginia. I loved traveling, but wanted to make roots, and Chicago seemed like the perfect place!
I still maintain my professional connections at theatres across the United States, and still sew, sing, play, act, and direct professionally.
If you are having trouble setting up your sewing machine, threading your machine, want to learn beginning sewing and quilting, or are interested in a particular advanced technique I would be happy to help.
If you want to sit higher in the violin section, improve your music theory knowledge, or make you high "C" really soar I'd be happy to help.
My method for teaching music theory is completely tailored to the needs of the student. If you are trying to learn to read music for the first time, or are interested in starting to write music, and every level in between. I've worked with students at all skill levels and with many different objectives. Many learned an instrument "by ear" and found it limiting when working with other musicians, and others have been in a music theory class and needed that extra bump to pass. Music theory can be fun, and understanding the structure and math of music benefits you musicianship and your smarts!
I have extensive experience in dress making, hand sewing, quilting, and clothing construction. I can teach you anything from sewing on a button or making your first quilt, to making a wedding dress or learning free motion quilting. I have been a professional seamstress, costume designer, and quilter for 20 years. I've got experience with a diverse array of sewing machines, from antique treadle machines, to sergers, to modern computerized embroidery machines. I worked with the Cincinnati Costume Company as a seamstress from 2000 to 2006, and have worked as a stitcher and designer at theatres from Alaska to Virginia for the last six years. Through this costume design experience I've worked with all types of media (including leather and metal), and in many techniques. I have experience in hand embroidery and sewing, and have tackled original designs with a lot of complexity (including historic recreations, battery powered lights, and fantasy costumes).
I studied musical theatre at Millikin University in Decatur, IL, and have been a professional actress for 15 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre/Social Sciences from Ashford University as well. I am a member of the Screen Actor's Guild and have performed all across the country on stage. I have done work for major Hollywood production companies and have appeared as and extra and in small roles in movies. I was also featured in three national commercial campaigns for Best Buy in 2009. I am also a regular guest director and choreographer at the Round Barn Theatre in Nappannee, IN.
I have been playing the viola and violin for 26 years. I have over 10 year experience teaching stringed instruments and voice, and am currently the assistant principle violaist in the Chicago Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
I was the head of the string department at Angel's School of Music in Cincinnati, OH from 2002 to 2004 and had a studio of 25 students. I also tutored for Jamestown Public Schools in Jamestown, ND tutoring violinists, violaists, and cellists from 1992 to 1996.
I have over 10 years experience teaching voice and violin in private studios and in the public school system (Jamestown Public Schools, Jamestown, ND 1992-1996: music tutor). I also studied voice at Millikin University in Decatur, IL as part of the Musical Theatre Program. I have trained in classical technique as well as modern singing. My specialization is creating a dynamic and adaptable instrument with a focus on proper usage and breathing.

ILLINOIS -- Pets can now travel on Amtrak, with a few exceptions.
Amtrak said its test-piloting a program to allow dogs or cats under 20 pounds to ride the train.
Much like taking a pet onto a plane, the animal will have to be in a carrier and placed underneath the owner's seat.
Right now, pets will only be able to ride on trains traveling between Quincy and Chicago.
But Amtrak says if the test goes well, it could allow pets on more trains in the future.
Tickets for a pet cost $25

LAKE CITY, Minn. (KTTC) -- Authorities say a four hour standoff with a man Wednesday night in Lake City ended when he took his own life.
The incident began when police responded to a home on South 6th Street around 5:30 Wednesday evening. They say had a report of threatening text messages and a concern of known weapons within the residence.
Police say they first tried negotiating with the suspect, identified as Benjamin Anderson, and tried to get him to leave the home. Attempts to communicate with the suspect were unsuccessful, and a SWAT team and K-9 entered the home.
During the standoff, police blocked off at least three blocks around the home, as well as connecting streets and alleyways.
Lincoln High School in Lake City was also put on a precautionary lockdown, but students were allowed to leave with parents.
Officials say the standoff ended at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday when Anderson died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"There were some efforts made to push back a perimiter so we could maintain the safety for the citizens of our community. Once that was taken care of, we then worked on locating the suspect, and once he was located and found we then cleared the scene," Lake City police chief Cory Kubista said.
Lake City police were assisted by Wabasha County, Goodhue County, Minnesota State Patrol, Goodhue County Emergency Reponse Team, and Lake City ambulance.

Two arrests over blaze at Mini and Acy Exports, Grays car dealership
Updated 12:36am Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
TWO men have been arrested in connection with an arson attempt on a car dealership in Grays in January, police have just announced.
A 61-year-old man from Grays was arrested on January 23 on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson and was released on police bail pending further enquiries until February 21.
A 24-year-old man from Harlow was arrested on January 31 on suspicion of arson and released on bail pending further enquiries until March 31.
Police attended Mini and Acy Exports Limited, on the Globe Industrial Estate, in Towers Road at just before 4am following reports from the fire service that the premises were on fire.
Six vehicles had been damaged in the blaze. No one was reported injured.
There had been a fire at the same premises at around 1am on Tuesday December 17 which is also being treated as suspicious.
Anyone with information, who has not yet spoken to police, is asked to call Grays CID on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Is possible reproduce mp3 files using the class CMdaAudioPlayerUtility??? I´ve been trying it, I can´t heard the sound...
Thanks for reading this for your help
Is possible reproduce mp3 files using the class CMdaAudioPlayerUtility??? I´ve been trying it, I can´t heard the sound...
Thanks for reading this for your help
if I remmebr right, I think I was told that MP3's can only be played in the phones (that support it), but it can not be recorded.
MP3 is supported in S60v21 and v22.
Emulator cannot play MIDI nor MP3.
Nokia 6630, 6670, 7610 and any new phone should able to play MP3
more technical speaking,
in S60V21 the MMF included MP3 decoder, but S60V20 doesn't, nor the MDA in V0.9-1.2. To playback MP3 in devices prior to S60v21, you need your own decoder, either:
a plug-ins for MMF of S60V20
your sound mixer and/or decoder
It's possible to playback if you have the decode plug-in/dll/whatever.
You must obtain MP3 decode license from MP3 licenseer, they will also send you a C/C++ source code. You can convert it to Symbian C++.
Just one thing I observed, the play back of general MP3 players for Symbian on the market weren't as good as the build-in one on S60v21 devices. May be the MMF MP3 plug-in/decoder was optimized.
Said too much. Good luck
When converting you should remember that S60's do not have Floating point hardware.
So any codec that uses these extensively is likely to be too slow to play in real time.
If I remember correctly there is free OGG codec. So you could use that to compress audio.
Yes, the weakness is the lack of floating point hardware.
Some alternative way is to try to multiply your value to some 1000 times or so. Then do your calculation in integer (TInt, 32 bits, right?) When you proved your new calculations are correct, you can try to speed it up by changing your code, for example, use shift when multiple by 2 (or 2 powers, both + and - )
My experience is, for some repeat millions calculation of some divide by 2, after this kind of optimization, usually 20% performance improvement.
To be more real, I shorten a lengthy calculation from 30 seconds down to 10 or 6 seconds (I forgot the exact value)
Good luck, Miriam

"A fantastic Wisconsin "Up North" experience..."
We were very satisfied with the vacation rental. Our family enjoyed the cottage, Chute Pond and the surrounding area a great deal. There are plenty of things to do, regardless of the weather. Close by there are many trails to hike and plenty of other outdoor activities to keep friends/family busy for as long as you plan to stay. The cottage was a great place to entertain guests; especially if you take advantage of the fire pit and the sunset views. The living area and porch were great places to relax and enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the ducks, swans and geese. The kitchen was well equipped. Many of the lakeside bars/restaurants were nearby and the food and drink are reasonably priced. With all of the hot weather we experienced while we were using the cottage we did have the need to use the air conditioning a few nights, so having that option was a nice plus. Everything was in working order. And if it wasn't I'm sure a call to Al would have corrected the problem. With all of the different outdoor activities available, for children and adults, our family would again consider renting this cottage from "youse guys…fer sure". Thanks!

Michigan already has one of the highest car insurances rates in the country, and now it's getting worse as premiums are going up again.
The idea of paying more for car insurance is frustrating one for Mid-Michigan resident Sue Marshall. "My daughter sells insurance, and even she says its beginning to be a problem for her even," said Marshall.
Unfortunately, your pockets will soon be even lighter, when insurance rates jump by another $11.
The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association say the reason for the increase is that more people are expected to be seriously injured in car accidents this year.
Michigan drivers already pay more than most states for auto insurance. According to insure.com, Michigan has the second-highest rates in the country.
"My sister just moved back from Indiana. She can't believe (what) she has to pay now moving back a few months ago, and I said, 'Well, welcome to Michigan.' We love the state, but you just can't keep raising things like that," said Marshall.
According to state records, the average no-fault claim has increased dramatically in the past 12 years, up to $44,000 last year. The next highest state is New Jersey at $17,000 per claim.

The new 268 Express Fisherman from Albemarle features an all-new hull design with a 21-degree deadrise for a deep entry and low center of gravity that yields a gentle ride in all sea conditions. Central to the overall design is a softer, rounded look, courtesy of a redesigned windshield configuration that is also taller than usual, providing excellent rough-weather protection. The 268 was designed as a family-oriented, entry-level boat, as well as a tough, functional fishing boat. When equipped with an optional microwave and refrigerator, the overnight capabilities make this a great choice for cruising the coast or running to offshore fishing spots.

Isn't it strange that after all that fuss - or at least, what some may perceive as a 'fuss' - that when the fight for equal marriage was won, there was almost no media coverage of it?
I mean, it wasn't as though some woman, married into a well-to-do family, had given birth to a baby boy and therefore eclipsed the surely inevitable slew of pages we were due for our victory... No, it was a fairly quiet news day for such a loud win for equality. But you wouldn't have thought it. But then maybe that's the way it should be - that it's simply fact and not 'news'. As though there's a sheepish acknowledgement that no, this actually wasn't right all along, but we've fixed it now.
So who's actually going to get married then? Do drop us a line. In fact, invite us along, I promise the pug will behave. Obviously I'd be bagsying Liza to perform if I ever got married (look, we can acknowledge that SATC2 was meant to be that bad and embrace it for that reason) but we've got a load of gay and gay-friendly musicians in this issue that would perfectly fit the bill. And hey, if you want some beautiful boys to pop out of a cake (that happens at weddings, right?) then look no further than the Norris Twins.
Still on the lookout? Well keep your eyes peeled for out naked readers shoot, coming to these pages very soon... Definitely something worth making a fuss over!

As two women walked into a wooded area in late October, a man followed them. He sexually assaulted one and robbed them both at gunpoint. Minutes later and yards away, he did it again, robbing a group of three teenagers near Northwestern High School in Prince George's County, Md., and sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
With no cameras to record the crime in Chillum and few leads, police turned to a seemingly anachronistic investigative tool — the composite sketch.
Police crime analyst and forensic artist Joyce Conlon spent nearly four hours with each of the assault victims, piecing together their memories to produce a picture of a suspect. The result: a black-and-white sketch of a man with a square head, long ears and a gaunt face. Two months later, a suspect was caught in Montgomery County, thanks in part to Conlon's sketch.
"There's not always going to be a camera," Conlon said. "Until we start getting to [an] age where computers are everywhere and Big Brother is watching you, for now the sketch artist is watching you."
In a world saturated with surveillance videos, cellphone cameras and other recording devices that can capture crimes in real time, many police departments across the country still rely on the composite sketch to help solve crimes. And while many police departments have cut back on traditional paper-and-pencil sketches as newer technologies emerge, local forensic artists and police detectives are fighting to make sure hand-drawn sketches don't die out as an investigative tool.
Indeed, many local police officials insist composite sketches are still important to the crime-fighting process when newer technologies can't help. They offer their services to neighboring law enforcement agencies that can't afford a police artist. They invest in training with agencies such as the FBI to improve their skills. And they give regular presentations to detectives within their own departments, pitching composites as an option when they're stumped on certain cases.

Citation Management Tools
Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!
Zotero: A free plug-in that works exclusively with the Firefox browser: keeps copies of what you find on the web, permits tagging, notation, full text searching of your library of resources, works with Word, and has a free web backup service.
RefWorks - free for UC Berkeley users. It allows you to create your own database by importing references and using them for footnotes and bibliographies. Use the RefWorks New User Form to sign up. Refworks Help is pretty good.
How to link from the Refworks record to a pdf on your hard drive
Exporting from OskiCat to Refworks
EndNote: may be purchased from UC Berkeley's Software Central. The Library's Guide to EndNote. And more Tips from EndNote.
It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
Zotero Tips
If you've never used Zotero before, use the QuickStart Guide to get started.
Change your preferences if you want Zotero to
- set your default citation style
- search the full text of pdfs you save
- Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items
To use Zotero to find specific articles in our library's databases, set up the Open URL resolver with this link: http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/sfx_local?
