Childress quotes following OTA
Childress: Injuries first here, of course (Chris) Kluwe and (Troy) Williamson are not practicing. Williamson has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. We'll find out how that goes. A couple of other guys, (Jimmy) Redmond and (Marvin) Ward have some strained hamstrings and Tank Williams bumped his knee yesterday, so we held him out today. We had some high school coaches here at practice yesterday. I think Bob (Hagan) has got a list of those guys. We've got that Viking Children's Fund golf outing tomorrow. All in all, I think as this thing winds down, the guys have done a great job. We've had almost 100 percent participation. Guys have missed for various and sundries reasons, but we've been able to cover a lot of stuff, a lot of different situations. We've still got a couple of things to do next week in our last mini-camp. I'm very pleased with not only the participation but the competition. It's real easy to kind of slop through this thing and kind of set your eyes on the horizon until training camp, but these guys are getting with it and I think it will pay some dividends for them. A couple of other things, training camp dates, we're going to bring the rookies in on the 27th (of July) with selected veterans and then the 30th the veterans will report. I think we'll be at Mankato until Thursday the 17th. That's right before our second preseason game. We'll break camp on that Friday morning.
Q: Some teams are going to more night practices during camp. Are you planning anything like that?
A: Just with the exception of the fact that we'll probably be working with the Chiefs and that will only be for a practice. I just think there's a level of conditioning you have to get at. We're not into those 3 ½ or 4-hour practices. We kind of work fast and hard and get on and get off. So we'll let them recover at night and not practice at night.
Q: Are you concerned with Chris Kluwe not being ready for camp or the season?
A: I'm not concerned right now from the standpoint that his rehab has progressed. You have to kind of go with that protocol. He's been diligent about that. Obviously he's a proven commodity kicking the football. There's not a lot of data on how guys come back from ACL's on kicking legs, so we'll just have to see. In a perfect world, he comes back and he's stronger than ever. Sometimes those guys come back from rehabbing that leg so hard. We'll just have to see. I don't have a great deal of concern, no.
Q: Can you talk about Chad Greenway's progression from that first mini-camp until now?
A: Yeah, rough in that first mini-camp but I'd say that about all of the rookies. They are just trying to feel their way around. He tweaked a hamstring a little bit in the first mini-camp, and of course we're getting after effort and we want guys flying to the football. I think he understands the tempo we are looking for. It shows up now because I think mainly because he knows a little bit more of what he is doing. It's hard to play fast when you don't know what you are doing. As the picture clears up, we see him play faster and faster.
Q: He's at the weak side primarily, is that to keep him from getting overloaded?
A: Yeah, and most of those other linebackers have position flexibility. They have to know the big scheme of things, but yeah, we're primarily working him at that Will linebacker. We want him to know that forward and backward.
Q: Can you talk about the new receivers you signed, Josh Davis and Kevin Kasper?
A: Yeah, we did a little film study on those guys. I remember doing Kasper coming out. He has return ability. He's played in versions of this system at Denver and to a certain extent Seattle while he was there. Davis, there are always good players coming out of Marshall, a highly competitive program. They did a good job in their workouts here. They are in shape, they catch the football, and they get in and out of breaks. You need all of those good hands on deck and with their special teams abilities, they'll have a chance.
Q: Do the players like Artis Hicks or Billy McMullen that have played in this system have a jump start on others?
A: They have a jump in some areas, but with Artis, with a new offensive line coach and certain nuances that that line coach wants, it's different. You have to get used to a different guy coaching, a different personality, there's actually two (offensive line coaches) in our case. Billy, conceptually he understands the concepts but there is a little bit of different lingo. It's not just a rote thing coming in here where he knows it forward and backwards. So he has to work from that standpoint too and that's good, you have to study; you learn something different about different plays
Q: Could one assume that because they know it they will not have to work as hard as others out there?
A: You can't assume anything in this business. You can't do that.
Q: Are you guys maxed out on the number of players on your roster?
A: You know I'd have to go in and check. I think we're within one or two of being maxed out. We get a number of NFL Europe exemptions, and really, your roster will change as you start to sign some of your free agents and draft picks and that type of thing. It's a good number to work with.
Q: Koren Robinson must have been absent from practice today, was he excused?
A: He was. He's got a child having surgery.
Q: With the latest Ben Roethlisberger accident, what is your team's policy on motorcycles?
A: No, we don't have a policy but I think if you go up and look in that lot I don't believe you'll see a motorcycle up there. Not that I don't know that they don't own motorcycles. I think that that's probably a pretty big eye-opener for those guys. I know Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, some of those guys have those. I don't think they ride sans helmet, but you know I am not concerned about that. Accidents are tough, and you hate to have something happen to a good person and a good player like that.
Q: So you wouldn't implement one in light of this latest accident?
A: No, I don't think so.
Q: Does something like that cause you to address the players?
A: Well, at a point as they leave here I am sure I'll have something to say, and maybe not specifically about that. But that's why they call them accidents, and you have to be vigilant. You only get to play this game so long and you want to play as long as you can.
Q: With Koren Robinson's role expanded as a receiver, are you looking for another return option?
A: No, not necessarily, I am not necessarily looking for another option, I mean he was an All-Pro kickoff returner. The unknown factor is when you factor in more snaps on offense, you just have to see if it takes away from his effectiveness. Where? Does it take away from his receiving effectiveness? Does it take away from his kickoff return effectiveness? I can remember when we had Brian Mitchell at the Eagles. He was good for maybe ten plays, 15 plays during the game, and he wanted to play during the game but you saw a big hold down of his return ability. So you weigh what is more important, the starting wide receiver or the return abilities? So you have to play with those and weigh them a little bit.
Q: How comfortable are you with the linebacker position? Are you still looking on the waiver wire for help?
A: We're always looking on the wire, because that thing is eternal. There is somebody on there everyday. If it's a person of interest we'll have him in for a workout, and if we like the guy we'll bring him in. But those guys have done a good job. It's a highly competitive position. I am not as worried about it as you might think. That's all going to sort itself out. There are good players there.

Still there are some difrences from playing 90 min., with having to made cuts and so forth, and going on the field making one power kick about 3-5 times in a game. I guess.
But I'm not a doctor either.

Vikings | Childress pleased with OTA participation
Wed, 14 Jun 2006 14:22:03 -0700
Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress said the team has had nearly 100 percent participation during organized team activities. "All in all, I think as this thing winds down, the guys have done a great job," Childress said. "Guys have missed for various reasons, but we've been able to cover a lot of stuff, a lot of different situations. We've still got a couple of things to do next week in our last mini-camp. I'm very pleased with not only the participation but the competition.

And you're right on the differences between NFL kickers and football players, the point I was attempting to make was that arguably a football player will need more time to recover than an NFL kicker because they have a lot more to do on the pitch, therefore the recovery time from a ligament injury should be less for an NFL kicker than it should be for a football player.
I just remembered that Ruud Van Nistelrooy suffered ligament damage the year before he moved to Manchester United, and it took him a year to regain full fitness, so that's just another example I guess.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Apple Denied Trademark for Multi-Touch
A lawyer for the USPTO denied Apple's initial trademark application and the company appealed to the Appeal Board. The board upheld the initial refusal to grant the trademark.
For trademarks, "the greater the degree of descriptiveness the term has, the heavier the burden to prove it has attained secondary meaning." The trademark attorney pointed out that the term "multitouch" has taken on generic meaning, being used by a wide variety of publications to describe the touchscreen technology on Android phones, tablets, and notebooks.
Thus, from the foregoing, we find that "multi-touch" not only identifies the technology, but also describes how a user of the goods operates the device. Based on the evidence discussed above, as well as other evidence in the record, we agree with the examining attorney that MULTI-TOUCH indeed is highly descriptive of a feature of the identified goods. We now consider whether applicant has submitted sufficient evidence to establish acquired distinctiveness of this highly descriptive term.There is a list of items that can determine if a mark has "acquired distinctiveness", including sales success, length and exclusivity of use, and advertising expenditures. The board ruled that Apple has not met the burden to be granted a trademark on multi-touch.
We've posted the full decision to Scribd.

still, the fact that Apple went as far as to try to trademark 'multitouch' is pathetic.
No, it's damn smart. Apple should attempt to trademark as many terms relating to mobile as possible (so should others.) Some of them Apple will actually get and they'll be able to wield it later.
Some of the attempts won't pan out, like "App Store." You won't win every trademark application. Apple loses nothing in trying, as long as the claim is examined on its own merits and is done so without prejudice (which is expected, anyway.)
While i agree it shouldn't be a trademark of Apple, refusing it because Android phones and tablets are using the term is borderline stupid ... there was no Android or any other consumer device using multi-touch back in Jan 2007.
There actually were devices that used multitouch long before 2007. Also, apple did NOT invent multitouch.
I've noticed an ongoing trend in the mac community and its that apple is responsible for all inventions and they are always the first to do something.... factually not the case.
I'm glad this trademark got denied. Its too common of a word for it to be trademarked.
still, the fact that Apple went as far as to try to trademark 'multitouch' is pathetic.
after innovation, Apple's second priority is clearly lawyers, the best lawyers.
Really dude? :rolleyes:
99% sure s/he won't have a heart attack. Not sure why you'd question a joke though.
Was anyone using multitouch on smartphones before Apple? IIRC they all required stylus until the iPhone came out!Not on a smartphone (they were surface like devices). It wasn't invented by Apple either.

To the editor:
I am writing in response to Nelson Benton's column of Sept. 21. In analyzing a potential vacancy on the Salem City Council, Mr. Benton writes that councilors supporting Steve Pinto for the vacancy would have to explain why they are breaking with a supposed tradition calling for the vacancy to be filled with the next runner-up in the previous election. This statement by him ignores previous selections for vacancies.
In 2006, there was a vacancy following Michael Bencal's resignation from the council. As runner-up in the election, I put my name forward for consideration on the basis of my qualifications for office, along with several others who did not run. Only one councilor, Thomas Furey, cited said tradition and cast a vote for me. The others voted for the councilor they felt was most qualified. I had no problem with this process, as it was my belief that, should the city have wanted the runner-up to be automatically chosen, the charter could have reflected this.
Should there be a vacancy now, councilors should be free to vote their conscience and vote for the individual they feel would be best for the job. Both Mr. Pinto and Mr. Barcikowski put their names on the ballot and ran credible campaigns for the City Council. Both are well-qualified and would bring different sets of skills and experiences to the council. Councilors should consider the merits of their candidacies, not a made-up "tradition" if they have to make a choice.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The Fallingwater home in southwestern Pennsylvania. But a child's doghouse?
Frank Lloyd Wright designed hundreds of landmark buildings and homes during a prolific career that spanned more than seven decades. But in what is widely considered a first and only for the famed architect, Wright indulged a young boy's humble request for a dog house in 1956 and sent him designs.
Jim Berger, now 68, rebuilt the doghouse last year using the original plans. It is featured in a documentary film to be displayed starting this month.
Wright designed Berger's family's home in the Marin County town of San Anselmo, prompting the then-12 years old Berger to ask his dad if Wright would design a home for his black Labrador, Eddie.

the naked flamenco dancer April 4th, 2011
I always ask my models about their hobbies, and Alicia said, she loves flamenco. So what could be better than to take some beautiful, fiery photos of her dancing the flamenco – but topless, naked under the long black skirt – or fully nude?
The result is a small but fine series of photographs of a naked flamenco dancer with a slightly different expression: rather strong poses, serious glances, symbolic gestures, body language…
Of course the poses allow Alicia to show her beautiful young womans body, slim but round – with short, but unshaven pupic hair…
This series is for you, go have a look at it!
and another smoking girl…
I am tempted to say:
these are healthy cigarettes, they don't contain tobacco, only plutonium!
Since the terrible nuclear power disaster in Japan we hear it in the news all day long: radioactivity is no danger for your health! A nuclear power plant blows up – no reason to worry! All cancer comes from smoking, you know! And we are very happy that there were no cigarettes burning in the reactor: imagine the desastrous cloud that would have been floating around the world, killing us all. But it was a clean, non-smoking nunclear power-plant: pure health!
Ok, enough of rant, I already wrote about my opinion about Why I take more photos of smoking nude girls and about the dangers of radioactivity long time ago…
So just let's enjoy the sexy photos of this young smoking girl! She looks younger than she really is, somehow innocent…
…but when you look at the photos of the explicit series of the sexy young girl you certainly will agree that – despite of her girlish little breast and her very slim, petite girls body – she's really a fully developped woman. And the photos capture what you want to see, if you like to see it the explicit way…

A Los Angeles mother is making sure her one-year-old son is protected against whooping cough after California's outbreak three years ago.
"It wasn't really a question for me, it was more like he has to get it."
A new study in Pediatrics finds a link between the outbreak and California communities, where large numbers of parents refused to vaccinate their children due to personal or religious beliefs.
The epidemic killed 10 infants and sickened more than 9,000 people in the state. "If you lived in a community that had higher rates of vaccine refusal, you are about twice as likely to experience a community outbreak of pertussis," says Dan Salmon, Deputy Director, John Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety.
Whooping cough or pertussis is a highly contagious, a bacterial infection that causes severe coughing fits. Experts say refusing vaccination is not the only culprit behind outbreaks.
Previous studies show vaccine protection wanes over time. "After about 5 years the immunity is significantly less, and so uh, that's why we want to continue immunization at every 5 or 10 years," says Dr. Wilber Mason.
Babies can't be vaccinated until they're a few months old - and even then it takes months to build immunity.
"I just want him to be safe."
Since the epidemic, California passed a law that makes it harder for parents to opt out of vaccines for non-medical reasons.
Health officials encourage pregnant women to get vaccinated to prevent spreading whooping cough to their newborns. Caregivers and anyone around newborns are advised to keep their vaccinations up to date.

Special to New Homes
AUBURN -- Gary Garabedian, the sales representative at Woodbrook North, says there's too much riding on a new-home purchase for buyers to settle for anything less than genuine craftsmanship.
That's why he wants guests to know the community's two-level homes with three- and four-bedroom designs are "all about the real deal."
Built by Schneider Homes, Woodbrook North celebrates its grand opening this weekend. The community is located on a sidewalk-edged lane on Auburn's West Hill and is within minutes of Interstate 5 and state Route 167.
Woodbrook North's Cascade vistas and natural greenbelts create a relaxing tone, which extends to the homes' interiors, Garabedian says.
"For Woodbrook North homebuyers, it's about using real materials and authentic craftsmanship," he says. "We've placed a lot of focus on certain items. Where a lot of local builders are using laminate finishes, Schneider Homes is using real hardwood floors and granite countertops."
Garabedian says presale buyers have expressed "how real it all is: real oak hardwood flooring, real maple cabinets, and real slab granite countertops in the kitchen and master bath. Not to mention the real savings they are going to see with each Energy Star-rated home's 95-percent-efficiency forced-air gas furnace and tankless water-heating system."
Three of the 30 homes planned at Woodbrook North have been sold, and three others are under construction.
Kitchens feature GE stainless steel appliances and Shaker-style cabinets with soft-close drawers. Doors are accented by crown molding, and select plans include walk-in pantries and additional nook-style eating areas.
In the family room, a gas fireplace is framed by slab granite and capped by a wood mantle. Select plans also feature built-in entertainment niches.
Upstairs, the master-bedroom suite offers a walk-in closet with a wardrobe shelving system. The five-piece master bath has a ceramic-tile-wrapped soaking tub, separate shower with glass door, double-sink vanity with granite countertops, and oiled-bronze-finish bath fixtures.
Garabedian says early homebuyers especially like the floor plans that include a guest bedroom with its own bath on the main floor. "One-third of our plans offer this," he says.
"Schneider Homes is creating plans designed to succeed for homebuyers. Our buyers are especially impressed that we can do this with plans that are 1,900 to 2,300 square feet, but feel so much larger because of all the attention to design and detail."
Homes at Woodbrook North feature professionally landscaped front yards connected by a gate to fully fenced rear yards with covered patios for all-season use.
For a limited time, Woodbrook North is offering a $4,500 bonus toward closing costs, or a refrigerator, washer and dryer, when buyers finance their purchase through Schneider Homes' preferred lender.

Rush County Chamber of Commerce Director Sandy Fussner has issued a statement following a recent meeting of the Rushville Common Council in which local parade organizer Sandra Coons said Fussner had "declared war" regarding the annual July 4 parade that Coons has organized the past several years.
At issue was the route the parade will follow. Coons wanted to use Harrison Street and Fussner, along with members of the Common Council, want the parade to utilize Main Street.
Fussner said a comment she made some time back was either misunderstood or was being taken out of context.
"I had just returned from the Institute for Organization Management at the University of Wisconsin when I read the article about the location of the parade in the paper. As far as I'm concerned, this really doesn't amount to much. It's true that I told Sandra that we'd 'go to war' over the location of the parade, but that was intended as just a simple figure of speech and nothing more. The more important point is the 4th of July parade has traditionally been held on Main Street," Fussner said.
"The only reason it was moved to Harrison Street the last couple of years was because of the construction on Main, Fussner continued. "Now that the street improvements have been completed, it just makes sense to move it back to Main Street. Furthermore, as Chamber Director, it's part of my job to support the businesses in our central business district. Having the parade on Main Street takes it past several of our Chamber partners and, as always, there are lots of people lining the parade route, which brings them right to the front door of several local businesses. Having the parade on Harrison Street takes it through a very attractive part of town, but it doesn't take it past any local businesses."
Commenting further on the "going to war" remark, Fussner said, "I think anyone who heard me say it knew I meant it in jest. Sandra and George have done a wonderful job over the years of organizing the parade and the fireworks display and I'm sorry Sandra took offense at my comment, but it was just one of those throw-away remarks people make. Apparently, she took it seriously."
Fussner also pointed out that the Chamber recognized George and Sandra Coons not long ago by presenting them with the Chamber's "Citizen of the Year" award.
"We genuinely appreciate what they do for our community," she said, adding, "Speaking as Chamber Director, I agree with the decision made by Mayor Pavey and the City Council to hold the parade on Main Street where it's traditionally been held for years. Some years it's been up Main Street and some years it's been down. If the city and the Chamber have to assume responsibility for the 4th of July parade, I'm sure we can handle it."
Complete details regarding this year's July 4 parade and other holiday-related activities will be featured in future editions of the Rushville Republican.

HONOLULU (BP) -- Hawaii-Pacific Baptists highlighted missions during their 70th annual meeting in Honolulu, even as the convention faces a 2.4 percent reduction in Cooperative Program funding for its outreach.
The Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention will continue to give 31.5 percent of an anticipated $1,210,000 in CP gifts from its churches to national and international missions of the Southern Baptist Convention, down from the $1,238,774 received during the current fiscal year. The 31.5 percent allocation does not include any shared expenses.
The convention's overall 2013 budget of $3,086,559 from the North American Mission Board and other sources reflects an increase of just over $10,000 from the 2012 budget of $3,076,108.
With the theme "Celebrate: One Mission, Many Generations," drawn from Ephesians 4:4-7, the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention's Nov. 8-9 meeting at Olivet Baptist Church in Honolulu focused heavily on missions.
Speakers recalled being discipled by the early missionaries, by family members who faithfully took them to church or friends who genuinely cared about them -- people who made it their "mission" to go out and spread the Good News of Jesus in their community. Paul Kaneshiro, pastor Pukalani Baptist Church on Maui, preached the annual sermon.
The HPBC historical committee spotlighted different eras of the convention's history with photos, testimony and songs. In celebrating the 1990s to the present, a combined youth choir led the music. Other musical praise leaders were churches on Oahu and the Big Island, Olivet's adult choir and a Japanese choir.
Messengers approved the affiliation of two new congregations, Emmanuel Korean Baptist Church in Oahu and Songtan Central Baptist Church in Seoul, Korea. The HPBC now consists of 110 constituted churches and 32 mission congregations in Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, (Western) Samoa, Okinawa, Japan and Seoul, Korea. Congregations worship weekly in 14 different languages.
In attendance were 329 messengers and guests from 70 state convention churches. To illustrate the many languages of the member churches, at each session five to seven people read the theme Scripture in their native languages.
The current officers were re-elected: president, Steve Irvin, pastor of Pali View Baptist Church in Honolulu; first vice president, Chris Martin, pastor of Lahaina Baptist Church in Lahaina, Maui; and second vice president Peter Lee, pastor of the All People Mission Church in Honolulu. Connie Landry, a member of Ocean View Baptist Church on Hawaii, was elected as recording secretary.
The HPBC recognized 10 churches for their CP giving: Mililani Baptist Church, Nuuanu Baptist Church, First Baptist Church of Pearl City, Hawaii Kai Church, University Avenue Baptist Church, Cornerstone Fellowship, First Baptist Church of Wahiawa, Waialae Baptist Church, Valley Isle Fellowship and the host congregation, Olivet Baptist Church.
FBC Wahiawa and Olivet also were recognized for increasing their 2012 CP giving, as were Waikiki Baptist Church, Seoul International Baptist Church, Pukalani Baptist Church, Waipio Community Baptist Church, Kinoole Baptist Church, Ewa Beach Baptist Church, All People Mission Church and Waikoloa Baptist Church.
The HPBC presented certificates of excellence in Vacation Bible School to Kahului Baptist Church, Hawaii Christian Baptist Church, Hamakua Baptist Church, Fellowship Baptist Church, Kaumana Drive Baptist Church, Palisades Baptist Church, Waianae Baptist Church and Lihue Baptist Church.
Darla Richardson was recognized for leading eight weeks of Backyard Bible Clubs. The convention honored seven churches for completing the four quadrants of the Acts 1:8 Challenge: Kohala Baptist Church, Lahaina Baptist Church, Hawaii Kai Church, Paradise Park Baptist Church, Pawaa Community Church, FBC Pearl City and Tafuna Baptist Church.
Recognized for completing three quadrants of the Acts 1:8 Challenge were Filipino International Baptist Church, Seoul International Baptist Church, Waikiki Baptist Church and Yokohama Baptist Church.
Commended for the most baptisms were Faith Baptist Mission and Ocean View Baptist Church, among church with no more than 50 members; Marianas Baptist Church and Waianae Baptist Church, among churches with 51 to 100 members; Maui Philippine and Anapouo Church, in the 101 to 150 membership range; and Antiochi Baptist Church, Lihue Baptist Church, Koza Baptist Church and Mililani Baptist Church in the 150-plus membership category.
The annual meeting was broadcast live via the Internet and videos are available at
The 2013 annual meeting will be Nov. 7-8 at the Hawaii Baptist Academy in Honolulu.
Faith McFatridge is associate editor of the Hawaii Pacific Baptist, newsjournal of the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention.

text: While many fighters continually struggle to compete in the lowest weight class possible-they diet, use sauna suits, sweat it out and will go to great lengths to make weight-there are still others who are only kidding themselves into thinking that they are competing at their optimal weight. These fighters typically eat poorly, get beat when they shouldn't and take unnecessary punishment by consistently going up against guys that are naturally bigger than they are. The truth of the matter is, when it comes to participating in a sport that has distinguishable weight categories, there really is no excuse for a competitor to be fighting out of their ideal weight bracket. The topic of weight is such a prominent part of the sport because it is so crucial to being competitive.

One of my most memorable experiences so far as a violin teacher is the first time I played Beethoven for a classroom full of 3-6 year-olds. It was in my first year of teaching private violin lessons full-time, and I taught one Suzuki group class of beginner violinists. Each month I chose a composer whose birthday fell in that month to celebrate; we would listen to their music, read about them, and share what we thought of them and their music. My goal was to get these young violinists to care about what they heard, not necessarily to get them to like what they heard. Beethoven, though, made it easy for them to both care about and like the music.
Beethoven was born on either the 15th or 16th of this month in the year 1770. On the first Thursday…

On this day 106 years ago, the composer Dmitri Shostakovich was born in St. Petersburg, Russia…and SO much has been written about his life and his politics, that I'll let you do your own research about all of that, and make up your own mind about the hot topic among Shostakovich music historians.
Instead, here I'd like to tell you about my own introduction to Shostakovich, and why every angsty teenager, every adult who's ever felt angry or despondent, and every child who has to get up and dance whenever they hear energetic music…
I remember being 14 years old and hearing Shostakovich's music for the first time: I was at a summer music festival called Eastern Music Festival. EMF had two student orchestras which rehearsed six times during the week before performing in concert on the weekends. It was the other student orchestra, the one I wasn't playing in that week, which was performing Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5. All of the students in the "Shosty 5″ orchestra suddenly went around as if they had been fortuitously admitted into an exclusive and really cool club. At the age of 14, I almost never wanted to part of any cool clubs, because as soon as anything became "cool" or large enough to be a club, I found that the strong non-conformist inside of me–especially strong in my teenage years–quickly became wary and ready to run the opposite direction of "cool". BUT the Shosty 5 club was a different story. I began sneaking into the other orchestra's rehearsals during our breaks, and the Friday night concert, for all of the inevitable student orchestra faults, was a life-changing experience.
…and I haven't been able to remove the hook since.
And it is a HOOK–not a Brahmsian blanket, not a pair of Mozartian dance shoes, not a Haydnian garden stroll–a HOOK. Shostakovich's music catches and tugs.
Give a listen and see if you can extract the hook afterwards…make sure you listen past 16:18 (or skip there, no one will know!) before you let me know about that hook extraction:

LEBANON — For the past two months, the extraordinary third murder trial of former state trooper David Camm has pitted two of Indiana's most experienced litigators against each other.
Between them, special prosecutor Stan Levco and court-appointed public defender Richard Kammen have spent nearly eight decades in courtrooms, involved in a multitude of high-profile cases ranging from public corruption to terrorism.
That experience has proven invaluable, given the challenges that the Camm case presents: An error-filled investigation of a triple murder 13 years ago, two previous convictions overturned, appeals court rulings that bar the jury from hearing evidence of a motive, and contradictory testimony from forensic experts and other witnesses.
Presiding over the trial in Boone County is special judge Jonathan Dartt of Spencer County, who also has experience with high-profile cases. As a prosecutor, he argued successfully for the death penalty in a 2001 rape and murder case where the victim was a 15-year-old girl.
"Here you have a very complicated and difficult trial," said retired Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall Shepard, who knows Levco, Kammen and Dartt well. "I'd say its good fortune that such able people are all in the same room together to try to help the jury find their way to justice."
Previous juries have tried. Camm has twice been convicted of the September 2000 slayings of his wife, Kimberly, and their two children, Bradley, 7, and Jill, 5, in the garage of their Floyd County home.
But both convictions were overturned. Each in case, the appeals courts found that testimony about Camm's alleged motives – his extra-marital affairs in the first trial and evidence that his daughter had been sexually molested in the second trial -- shouldn't have been heard by the juries because it wasn't connected by the prosecution to the murders.

- Dinner was greatDfoehrDined on 8/31/2014I believe our server's name was Brian. He provided very very good service to my wife and I. Brian was very attentive to us, he suggested calimari and it was fantasitic, and he suggested a nice bottle of wine for us. My wife said later on when we went out how good our aiter was this year, and the last time we went to waterman. We are very happy with the waterman griller, its our 2nd anniversary, and the second time we went to waterman. Please say thank you to Brian for us. he is great!Special Features:
- CoveDined on 8/27/2014Found the food to be delicious as always. Dining on the deck was delightful. Waitstaff attentive and timely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gary & JanSaintDined on 8/27/2014My law office was about six feet away. We patronized the establishment, almost daily: from "day one." Because of its location, I always thought it to be a destination restaurant - it sits alone along the river. It's a beautiful spot; but you have to want to go THERE. It has become a better and better establishment. It was great from the beginning, but it needed "time' and it developed into a fabulous place: and also suitable for parties of many sizes AND "smallish" outdoor weddings. I am so pleased to walk in and see it "buzzing". It seems that patience paid off.Special Features:
- Love the locationMarco22VIPDined on 8/25/2014Very nice place to be on a warm Summer evening. The rowers on the river provide an interesting view. My meal was great but my two guests did not care for the angle steak too much.Special Features:
- WOW!!!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/24/2014I have been going to Waterman Grille for a few years now and am always satisfied. I do recommend this restaurant to everyone I talk food to.This was the first time my husband and I tried the pre-fixed meal....what a find. Not only was the service, view, and food terrific, but the wine was wonderful as well.Special Features:
- crrnDined on 8/23/2014very enjoyable, i will definitely look forward to returning againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wedding Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014My wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. Our waiter was attentive and had a great personality. The restaurant went the extra step and offered us a champagne toast on them. A little treat that went a long way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden jewelOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/19/2014My co worker recommended this quaint hidden jewel. At first I thought we was lost as we headed down Waterman ave but we found it. The views were spectacular as we walked towards the door. We requested a table as close to outside as possible but inside, it was a bit chilly. We started off with the pork bellies a first for both of us. It was the best thing I have ever eaten! I never had pork bellies before and I have to say the chef made me a fan. I had the Filet Mignon, again this was the best meal I have had in a while, don't tell my wife! She had the beet salad and the duck which she raved about. For dessert, the creme brulé was on point. All in all great service, great meal. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a treatJackVIPDined on 8/18/2014Once again, a nice dinner at a local restaurant. Getting very popular- use Open Table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tranquililty for A Lovely BrunchMBF125Dined on 8/16/2014Sitting on the deck, in a quiet spot, watching the swans and rowers on the Seekonk River provided a perfect spot for a wonderful brunch with friends. The services was excellent, especially because one of our diners has a nut allergy and the carefulness of what was done to accommodate this was top notch. The options on the menu for brunch are strong, with a couple of surprises that captured the summer flavors of Rhode Island. Service was attentive, not over-bearing and we were not rushed which allowed our gathering to catch up on each others. Perfect tranquil spot for brunch in August with friends...highly recommend the Waterman Grille.Special Features:
- DisappointingInfrequentReviewerDined on 8/14/2014This is an attractive restaurant in an interesting setting along the Seekonk river, but the quality of the food does not match the ambiance or the prices. The appetizer my husband and I shared was quite good - the harrissa meatballs. However, my husband's fish entree was mediocre at best and my 'vegetable calzone' was terrible. This was not a calzone but a panini of a sort. Heavy fried bread that was charred in places and very tough. The vegetables inside were quite tasty but there was no more than three tablespoons of filling in the whole thing. Most was unfilled fried tough bread. The service was OK but pretensious, as though this was such a superior restaurant we should be honored to be there. With better food we might have been.
- Waterman GrilleFredVIPDined on 8/13/2014Service was great and friendly. Food arrived quickly, and was delicious. We were a bit late for the reservation, and the hostess was very accomodating.Special Features:
- Perfect Spot!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014My boyfriend recently took me here for my 21st birthday dinner, Everything we got was fabulous! we sat outside and had a beautiful view of the river it was beautiful and romantic, we will definitely be coming back here.Special Features:
- Perfect night!DateNightDined on 8/9/2014We had a beautiful spot outdoors, and the service was impeccable! Each course was delicious, but the pork tenderloin special was a stand-out. We will definitely return!Special Features:
- Bland!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014Food was very bland! I have been here a few times in the past and it has been very good. This time I was not impressed. There were also many open tables... Not sure I will be backSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/7/2014Nice dinner - would suggest not giving the prix fixe menu to dinners on non prix fixe nights as it does not feel like a good value to pay more for the same meal a night later...Special Features:
- Very pleasedOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/7/2014Great service, very good food and drinks and a nice view. We will be back!Special Features:
- Great food!JanetDined on 8/6/2014My grand son recently recommended Waterman Grille to me for my ladies night out. So I went. The food was fabulous and portions were good too. I highly recommend it for a good time out.Special Features:
- Great for Sunday BrunchdinoclubDined on 8/3/2014The food and presentation as well as portions were all excellent. The service was very nice and the wait staff was happy and accommodating. I liked the fact that we were not rushed. I have also recommended this restaurant for private parties, and they always consistently do a great job.Special Features:
- delicious and fun birthday dinner!!SaderdinersDined on 8/2/2014I made a reservation for our youngest daughter's 21st bday with her older sister and her BF who were in from florida. they are all foodies but we also wanted to dine in a special, intimate location so we chose waterman grille and we all loved everything! reservations were confirmed a few times (the weather wasn't nice out and we had requested an outdoor table) and everyone was so pleasant and nice and helpful. we ordered a couple of appetizers for the table and drinks that were also delicious all around, and then ordered our dinners which included the delicious burger, pan roasted salmon, pork tenderloin, skirt steak and pork belly tacos! sadly, no room for dessert this time, but we cant wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Back againDiners99Dined on 8/1/2014This is at least our 4th time at Waterman Grille and they have yet to disappoint us in any regard. The service is genuinely friendly. The quality of the food used is top shelf and the preparation gives homage to that initial quality. Sitting inside, it can be a little loud but I've never felt that it was to the point that I couldn't carry on a conversation with my fellow diners. I've been to four of the eight restaurants in this amelgomation and they all seem to keep quality as their prime directive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014The appetizers were great, the dessert was good. The entrée (statler chicken & avocado risotto) were very disappointing. I didn't care much for the menu selections. The service was very good.Special Features:
- Always a good choiceOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 7/26/2014everything was great, what more can I say? We were offered a seat outside without requesting it specifically. The food was excellent (it was Providence restaurant week, and there was a great special menu with extremely reasonable prices and good choices).Special Features:
- Don't judge a book by it's coverTonyDined on 7/21/2014Service is always a bit hit and miss - really cute place - reserved was shuffled and was shoved into a corner on the deck over looking the river- dressed casually - underestimated the group (with CEO of a major RI industry who frequents Waterman - but reservation was under my name who was in from out of town) regardless - hit and miss - felt as if they wanted to push us out. Food was good but I think I won't go back when I'm in town - coffee was offered with the check (can I get u some coffee? Here's your check - "(never mind that desert was served 20 minutes prior). I visit my Providence friends often from NYC. It will not be my first choice. We will go to Gracies instead.Special Features:
- Prix FixeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/21/2014Outstanding Prix Fixe menu with wine. Great food, reasonably priced.Special Features:
- Lovely Dinnerpabulum6Dined on 7/20/2014Just the right spot for an anniversary dinner. We dined outside by the river ...the evening was a bit windy, and I wished we had chosen to dine indoors..the view is just as nice...the indoor atmosphere is cozy, charming and romantic...beautifully decorated Food was nicely presented...we chose the 3 course dinner with a bottle of wine. My chicken breast was dry and not so flavorful -a little work is needed to perfect that dish. My partner's steak meal was excellent. The service was superb. All in all a very nice experience.Special Features:
- 5 star diningmariannamaeDined on 7/19/2014The Waterman Grille is a great spot. From excellent food and service to a beautiful outdoor deck with pretty views, this spot is just wonderful. They also have an upstairs function room for private intimate setting and a function room downstairs which is just beautiful with a private bar. We eat here often and they never disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousMNinRIDined on 7/13/2014I went to Waterman Grille on Sunday evening during Providence restaurant week with my brother. The food was divine, every bite left me wanting more. Just like the food the drinks were equally as delicious. The pomegranate mojito is the perfect summer drink! Our waitress was delightful, attentive but not too invasive. A great evening out. I will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Watermanrichjs983Dined on 7/11/2014This was our first time at the Waterman Grille. We happened to dine during the "Supermoon" so our view was even better than most. We had a 9:30 reservation on a Friday night and we were able to sit outside with a view of the moonlit river. The food was excellent, we started off with the Cheese Plate and the Confit Pork Ribs. Both were large portions for the price. My wife got the Short Rib entree and I had the Duck Duo. I was disappointed in the Duck Confit because I was expecting a thigh/leg instead of the meat already shredded. Unfortunately the confit was very soggy and bland, but the duck breast made up for it. Other than the confit, the food was very impressive.Special Features:
- Great OutdoorsYummoDined on 7/11/2014Waterman Grille was a great place. The wrap around deck over looking the river could not have been any more romantic (we happened to have a full moon that night). Our waiter went out of his way to bring us exceptional service. The food was creative, but it did lack some flavor. I will, though, be returning!!Special Features:
- Neighborhood gemDavidVIPDined on 7/11/2014Excellent food, fine service, a bit noisy, but with a view of the Seekonk RiverSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

JEAN DePLACIDO
New England Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko was a big hit as the guest speaker at the Danvers Touchdown Club earlier this week.
Mesko, who was born in Romania and went to the University of Michigan before being drafted by the Patriots in the fifth round of the 2010 draft, spoke to a large gathering at the Village Green in Danvers and told a funny story about how he got into football.
He told the assembled crowd that, after coming to the United States at age 11, he was in middle school in Ohio and taking part in an indoor kickball game when he booted the ball and broke one of the large lights on the ceiling. That got the attention of the school's football coach, who told him either come out for the team as their kicker — or pay for the light.
"His career was jump started from that accident," said NFL player agent Sean Stellato of Peabody, who handles marketing for Mesko.
"He's a very intelligent kid who speaks four different languages. He talked about growing up in Romania and having to sleep on the floor because bullets were always flying around. He got to America by winning a lottery; the odds of that happening were as great as hitting the lottery here."
Mesko also talked about the 32-yard missed field goal by Baltimore Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff in last Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Foxboro, allowing the Patriots to win and advance to next Sunday's Super Bowl in Indianapolis against the New York Giants.
After the game, Mesko was one of the first to offer support to Cundiff, who is a close friend.
"Zoltan has a nice relationship with Cundiff because he used to attend his kicking camps," said Stellato, who is thrilled to be going to his first Super Bowl, thanks to client Gary Guyton, the Patriots' linebacker who got him a ticket.
Mesko answered questions from fans about punting and how to place the ball and signed autographs.
"Punters are usually the forgotten member of the team, but they play such an important role," said Stellato. "'Z' calls himself the fourth-down quarterback because he holds for field goals and punts, so when it's fourth down he's called upon."
A former Salem High and Marist College standout quarterback, Stellato said Mesko is very exciting about playing in Super Bowl XLVI, but he refers to it as another business trip.
Stellato is heading out to Indianapolis Thursday morning and will take part in a cooking segment on Fox with Patriot defensive back Kyle Arrington's mother Sandra. She loves to cook and while the cameras roll, she'll prepare her signature macaroni and cheese dish or chili that she used to serve her son before his football games.

- Comments and insights on the name Kalen: | Edit
Although boys can be named Kalen, I wouldn't use it since more girls are named this than boys. Also it can be confused as Kaitlyn which is also a girl's name. If you like the sound of Kalen, I would go with Galen instead since it is only a boy's name. In fact, one of the most famous ancient physicians was named Galen.
My husbands name is Kalen and EVERYONE is always like "What?!" It's not a very common name in general and then for a boys name, it's pretty much unheard of. He got made fun of in high school by people calling him Kaitlyn and stuff.
One of my best friend's brother's name is Kaelan. At first I thought it was weird for a guy (partly because I'd been watching the Legend of the Seeker series with a female character named Kahlan Amnell), but after only a few days I realized how well his name fit his personality and fits in with his siblings' names. Now I think Kalen seems more like a boy's name that has become popular for girls (ex. Sidney).

Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) - The 2012 hurricane season has come to an end and it's another one for the record books, above and beyond the destruction of Sandy.
There were 19 named storms in what meteorologists consider an above-average year that tied as being the third most-active season since 1851.
Even without a so-called major storm reaching the U.S. there was plenty of damage. A storm is classed as major once its top sustained winds reach 111 miles per hour (178 kph).
Seven years have now gone by without a major hurricane making U.S. landfall, the longest stretch on record.
Sandy morphed from hurricane to Superstorm ot its way to wreaking havoc across the Northeast. It left millions without power and killed at least 125 people in the U.S. and 71 in the Caribbean.

FINAL SALE Tiered Long Dress with Embroidered Waist Style 1310 1 1
Beautiful! But only ivory, not available in white I LOVED this dress. It's hard for an older bride like me to find a dress so tasteful and flattering. It fit perfectly, and would have been perfect for the small wedding I'm planning. BUT, even though it looks white in the photo, it is ivory--definitely not my color. So, reluctantly, I had to send it back. July 31, 2012

HAMMOND – The Northwestern State baseball team, who still has a chance for a share of the Southland Conference Championship, is set to open its final series of the 2014 season on Thursday at 6 o'clock at Southeastern Louisiana in league action.
The second game of the three-game set is scheduled for 6:00 on Friday, and the finale is on Saturday at 2 o'clock.
The Demons (30-22, 18-9 SLC) would have to sweep the Lions (31-22, 16-11), and have help from both Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Sam Houston State, who are playing each other. Neither the Islanders nor Bearkats could sweep their series for Northwestern State to have a shot to capture its first championship since 2005.
Both the Islanders and Bearkats are tied for first place and are one game ahead of NSU and Nicholls. Northwestern State, which has won eight of its nine series played, holds the tiebreakers over Sam Houston and Nicholls.
"Southeastern has a good club. Matt (Riser) has done a great job in his first year," said Demon baseball head coach Lane Burroughs. "We can't worry about what is going on with Sam Houston and Corpus, we just have to worry about what we're doing and the big task ahead of us.
"We're going to go down there to play our best and play hard. I have all the confidence in the world in our guys," he said. "We're in a great position. First thing is that we have to be 1-0 after Friday, and then 1-0 after Saturday."
Adam Oller (5-1, 2.12 earned run average) is slated to start the first game on the hill for the Demons. The freshman right-hander has 14 appearances with 11 starts this season, and has pitched 80.2 innings.
His older brother Josh Oller (3-1, 3.40) will take the mound on Saturday. He has appeared in 13 games with eight starts, and has 50.1 innings pitched.
"Now that we are officially in the tournament, we have to keep our pitching rotation in mind," said Burroughs. "It's a short week. Our goal is to move on, win the conference tournament and get into a regional.
"Yeah, we want to win the league, but you have to think about the tournament that is looming on a really short week," he said.
Tate Scioneaux (6-5, 3.52) will start Thursday night's game for Southeastern Louisiana. He has 13 appearances, all starts, and 87 innings pitched. Starters for Friday and Saturday's game are still to be determined.
Chase Daughdrill leads NSU at the plate with .306 batting average, and Bret Underwood (.303) and Caleb Dugas (.297) follow him. Daughdrill has 37 runs batted in on the season, and Dugas has 37 runs scored.
Reigning Player of the Week Jameson Fisher leads SLU at the plate with a .386 batting average and 43 runs scored. Andrew Godbold, who holds a .347 average, leads the Lions with 46 runs batted in. Brett Hoffman (.327) and Daniel Midyett (.308) both are hitting above the .300 mark.
Northwestern State can finish as high as the top seed or as low as the sixth seed of the eight-team Southland Conference Tournament with the last weekend to play. The league tournament is in Conway, Ark. and is set to begin on May 21.
