Fauquier's lineup in flux as 2013 softball season approaches
Thursday, Mar. 7
By Fred Hodge

The backdrop for the 2013 Evergreen District softball race will differ significantly from a year ago.
In 2012, the Fauquier Falcons were unbeaten versus the league's other four teams en route to a 20-3 season.
The 20 victories equaled the school mark for most wins in a season and set a new mark for best winning percentage.
That squad captured the district crown and reached the Region II semifinals, finishing one win shy of a Group AA state tournament berth.
Fauquier lost eight seniors from that roster, so this Falcon unit is a work in progress.
Falcon coach Mark Ott sees solid potential among his 14 girls, but considerable experimentation is probable before the lineup solidifies.
"The kids I have, they are very eager to learn," Ott said. "There's nobody locked in at many positions, so they are all competing for playing time."
There is no question about one position, as senior Justina Augustine returns for a fourth season as Fauquier's shortstop.
She was the district's Most Valuable Player last spring after hitting .405 with four home runs, a triple and eight doubles. Augustine also scored 30 times, drove in 19 runs and stole 14 bases, and eventually committed to play at Longwood University after numerous schools recruited her.
Augustine and Ashley Brown ― Fauquier's only other senior ― have earned Ott's praise for their leadership and had work since practice began Feb. 19.
Fauquier will have a different look in the infield, as a quartet of four-year lettermen left the fold.
There will be different faces at first, second and third and at pitcher.
Pitching, of course, is a cornerstone position for most teams. Fauquier graduated star pitcher and longtime fixture Sarah Kleinfelter; she was twice voted as the district's top hurler and is now on scholarship at George Mason.
There is a trio of candidates vying to replace her.
Ott said the position may be handled by committee, depending upon progress in the early going.
Juniors Apryl Nalls and Krysta Darnell and sophomore Tess Miller are the Falcon hurlers. Both Nalls and Darnell are southpaws, while Miller is a righthander.
Nalls and Darnell saw action in scrimmages versus King George and Orange. Miller did not play due to injury.
"I thought both showed they are able to hit spots and keep the ball down," Ott said of the lefthanders' play on Saturday.
Sophomore Rachel Taylor returns as catcher, while Nalls, Tess Miller and Katie Manson looming as top candidates at first base.
At second, the picture is more crowded, as Josie Adgate, Robyn Fletcher, Taylor and Kaitlyn Reid are possibilities.
Reid and Manson are the third baseman, and Manson also can catch.
Brown, Kaiulani Miller and Fletcher are outfielders, as are Christina Bruno, Elizabeth Wilcox, Lauren Sweeney, Nalls and Adgate.
Ott expressed disappointment with numerous mental mistakes during the scrimmages, but he pointed out many of the current crew are trying new positions.
"It takes time to gel and get used to new positions and to get to know each other," Ott said.
"In all seriousness, I believe these girls have the ability to get together," he said.
Fauquier plans to scrimmage Monticello and Madison County this Saturday before the regular-season slate begins March 12 and 13 at Culpeper and Skyline, respectively.
Fauquier has nine non-district games scheduled before the April 12 district opener at Liberty.
"Our district should be a tight race," Ott said, pointing to veteran hurlers at Kettle Run and Liberty and Warren County's list of returnees.
"We have a lot of work to do," Ott said, noting the lineup for the opening games may not be the same as when district play commences.

Matchups, smatchups: Claude Julien not worried about Blackhawks lines
|06.12.13 at 2:14 pm ET
CHICAGO — Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville appears set to keep Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane separated to begin the Stanley Cup finals, but the Bruins are confident they'll be able to deal with the spread-out star power.
As Kane said Tuesday, the Blackhawks have a strong top six regardless of whether Toews and Kane are together. If they're on different lines, that means Toews is playing with Marian Hossa, so the Bruins will have their hands full either way. Claude Julien is confident the B's can match up with the Blackhawks no matter what Quenneville throws at them.
"It doesn't," Julien said when asked about how Quenneville's new lines impacts their preparations. "We just have to react to it in a way whoever is on the ice. Whoever is on the ice has to be aware of the other team's players on the ice.
"In our system, everybody knows our game without the puck is important. I think that's what has gotten us this far, we've respected that, back'checked. Our numbers coming back have continued. Whether I have my fourth line out,you can talk about like [Chris] Kelly and [Daniel] Paille, I don't think anybody is worried about their game defensively, and Shawn Thornton who has done a great job on that line as well. There's a lot of trust in our coaching staff when those guys are out there, even when they put a top line on."
The guess here is that Julien will counter the Sharp-Toews-Hossa line with the Zdeno Chara-Dennis Seidenberg pairing and the David Krejci line, while putting the Patrice Bergeron line and Andrew Ference-Johnny Boychuk pairing against the Bickell-Handzus-Kane line. Of course, look for Julien to find ways to get Chara out there against both lines whenever he can. Julien matches lines as well as anybody in the business, but at the end of the day it's Chara who makes the biggest impact in matchups.
"That's why I talk about the matchups up front. Not the end of the world," Julien said. "You'll probably see, as every other series, our back end matches up a little more aggressively than our front end.
"Joel already knows that, too, by the way."

Here are the highlights from Tuesday's Headlines with John Dennis, Gerry Callahan and guest host Greg Dickerson. To hear the segment, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Bill Clinton reportedly has blonde mistress nicknamed 'Energizer'
A new book by Ronald Kessler claims former President Bill Clinton has a blond mistress nicknamed "Energizer" by his security staff.
Excerpts obtained from Kessler's upcoming book "The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents" revealed that the mistress would arrive at the Clinton home sometimes just minutes after Hillary Clinton has left.
"You've got a picture there?" Callahan asked.
Dennis said: "That's what it's missing."
"My imagination is running wild," Callahan said. "I picture like a young Lonnie Anderson."
Dickerson added: "I thinking of an old Lonnie Anderson. Not young."
According to the excerpts, Hillary's secret service agents inform Bill's detail when she is heading home so Bill has time to get the mistress off the property.
"Do you call B.S. on this, Gerry?" Dennis asked.
"No. I believe it 100 percent," Callahan said.
Said Dickerson: "I call B.S. I think there's more than one [mistress]. There's like four of them."
Gisele Bundchen reportedly controlling of Tom Brady
According to a report by Star Magazine, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady's marriage is at a low point because Bundchen is controlling and has final say when it comes to decisions such as how the home is decorated and where their children will be raised.
"I'm going to stop you when you get to the part that differentiates him from every other guy I know, including me," Callahan told Dennis as he was reading the details. "So far we're on the same page."
Said Dickerson: "It's all the things I don't want to do."
Bundchen reportedly has a strict chore schedule and forces Brady to get up early with the kids to scrub the toilets and clean the floors while she sleeps in.
"I'm calling B.S. on that," Callahan said. "Get out of bed and clean the toilet? Cinderella didn't have to do that. That's stupid."
Husband documents wife's excuses to not have sex with him
A sexually frustrated husband documented every time his wife refused to have sex with him for a month and sent the spreadsheet to her before she left on a 10-day business trip. In response, the wife posted the sheet on Reddit and it went viral.
The list includes excuses such as, "I'm too drunk and ate too much," and, " 'I just came back from the gym, I feel gross' (didn't shower until next morning)."
"She also cited a recent weight gain has not made her feel good about herself," Dennis said. "I feel like an hour's worth of sweaty sex would work some of that off. Would it not?"
The list revealed the couple had sex three times in seven weeks despite 27 attempts by the husband.
"Is this story related to the Hillary-Bill story at all?" Dickerson asked jokingly.
Callahan said: "I'm guessing Bill gave up on that 30 years ago."
JetBlue pilot among six arrested in Boston drug bust
A JetBlue pilot from Florida was among six people arrested by Boston police over the weekend in an investigation of drug dealing.
According to police, John Manwaring of Maitland, Florida, and a woman with him were charged with possession of heroin, while the others were arrested for other drug charges.
"Now he was scheduled to fly out 14 hours after the bust," Callahan said. "So if you buy the heroin and then you go with her, wherever, some flop house, shoot up, are you going to be OK to fly in 14 hours?"
Said Dennis: "I think JetBlue frowns on that."
In Monday's Three For All on Middays with MFB, Tim Benz, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria discussed HBO's "True Detective," a man's poor way of informing his wife of his frustrations in bed and one 5-year-old boy's special birthday wish. To listen to the segment, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Over the weekend, Benz purchased the DVD box set of the critically-acclaimed HBO show "True Detective," which had he not seen before.
"I never really watch shows, I'm not a TV show watcher," Benz said. "Unless it's 'Family Guy' or 'South Park,' that's pretty much what I'm limited to."
Benz finished the entire eight-episode first season over a two-day stretch, and was overall torn on the final product.
"I crammed. … I stayed up really late on Saturday night, I watched the first five episodes, which I really enjoyed, and the last three I thought were crap," Benz said.
When asked to give the show a grade, Benz gave it a B/B-minus.
"By TV standards, it's an A,"Benz said. "But I have pretty low standards when it comes to looking at TV."
"I haven't seen it, and now, I don't think I'm going to go see it, unless I'm on vacation, downtime, don't feel like reading some crap book. … I might try it out," Fauria said.
– A man didn't take the best route when it came to voicing his frustration about his wife turning down his sexual advances. The man eventually sent his wife a spreadsheet that listed all the times over the past two months that he attempted to have sex with her and the excuses that she gave to avoid it.
After getting the spreadsheet via email, the woman posted the document on the social networking site Reddit and it has since gone viral.
"He was obviously trying really hard," Fauria said, adding: "He thought he's make an Excel spreadsheet, which is stupid, because you just made a bad problem worse. Now she's really not going to have sex with you."
– Merloni brought up the story of Foxboro native Danny Nickerson, a 5-year-old boy who was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer last fall.
Nickerson, who will turn 6 on July 25, gets a huge boost when he receives cards with his name on it in the mail, and he has already received over 40 letters leading up to his birthday.
Merloni gave out Nickerson's address out during the segment and urged everyone to send a card his way for his birthday.
"Let's get some birthday cards out to little Danny and let him just enjoy seeing all the cards in there, seeing his name on all of it," Merloni said.
Cards can be sent to Danny Nickerson, P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA 02035.
Here are the highlights from Monday's Headlines on Dennis & Callahan with John Dennis, Gerry Callahan and guest host Jerry Thornton. To hear the segment, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
In Friday's edition of Three for All on Middays with MFB, Tim Benz, Christian Fauria and producer Joe Zarbano re-visited American Ninja Warrior Kacy Catanzaro and whether or not to bring a date to a wedding. To hear the segment, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
On Thursday, the guys talked about Catanzaro, a Towson University gymnast who became the first woman to make the final of American Ninja Warrior. Benz and Fauria continued to discuss Catanzaro Friday after Benz linked to her Instagram photos, her diet and her ninja submission video, which has over 100,000 views, on the MFB home page.
"It is Kacy Catanzaro madness on the Internet, she is all over the place," Benz said.
Benz and Fauria broke down Catanzaro's photos and her abdominal muscles.
"I'll admit, a little too abby," Benz said.
Fauria said: "Well she was a gymnast. I love the whole ab look."
"Her abs are a little much," Benz said.
Given Catanzaro's new stardom, Fauria asked whether or not her boyfriend should be worried.
"He is panicked," Benz said. "It was great for about 24 hours. Now this is like A.J. McCarron with Katherine Webb. This is the exact same thing."
– With Lou Merloni off for the day, Zarbano brought his own topic to the segment. He asked the guys whether or not he should bring a date to his friend's wedding.
"Would this be a guaranteed close for you?" Fauria asked.
"No," Zarbano responded.
Zarbano said this person someone he could be interested in dating, but isn't sure whether or not he wants to introduce her to his friends.
"Have you ever seen the movie Wedding Crashers? Do not bring a date to the wedding," Fauria said. "I'm telling you, don't do it.
"If you work at it. That is the perfect place to meet girls."
Benz said: "You've got to look at it from an NFL draft point of view. Bringing a date is sort of like you only trade up in the draft if you absolutely know you have to have this player. If it's a guaranteed lock and just a few drinks at a wedding to be the closer, then yes, bring her. Otherwise, don't bother. All the other girls that are not her and are single are thinking the same way."
Zarbano said: "I'm going solo."

How do the notions of value and currency enter into art and personal adornment? Jewelry designer Lauren Tickle MFA 09 JM plays with this question in her Increasing Value series, using American dollars to create awe-inspiring brooches, cufflinks, and other pieces. "My work takes underlying materialism and makes it explicit," says Tickle.
Tickle was recently named one of eight winners (out of more than 200 entries) of the Preziosa Young 2013 Design Competition run by Le Arti Orafe — a contemporary jewelry school in Florence, Italy. Her work will be on display in Italy, Germany and Poland this summer as part of the contest's traveling exhibition. She had the added distinction of being named winner of the Special Award at Inhorgenta Munich 2014.
Closer to home, Tickle has been busy creating Increasing Value earrings and necklaces for sale at the MoMA Design Store in NYC. MoMA chose her as one of 175 designers to participate in its Destination NYC show this summer, which focuses on innovative materials and production methods as well as relevance to contemporary design.

Brittany Lincicome play four spectacular rounds of golf at the Monroe Golf Club and for most of Saturday and Sunday I believed she had the grande finale Wegman's LPGA Championship in the bag. But in the end, it came down to a putt, as is often the case in golf competitions, and then a playoff with Inbee Park. On the 73rd hole Lincicome's putt slid past the cup and Park's dropped. Inbee Park notched her 5th major LPGA victory and Brittany Lincicome released tears of disappointment.
Lincicome's a pro. Runner-up at a Major is no small accomplishment and by the time she met with the media for her post-round interview Lincicome had recovered her composure and her optimism:
Averaging 269 yards, Lincicome is the third longest off-the-tee ball striker on the Tour (Lexi Thompson's averaging 271 yards and Gerina Piller's averaging 271 for the year). This week she hit 80% of the fairways, getting close to Mo Martin's 86% rate, and she hit 75% of the greens in regulation. World ranked number 1 Stacy Lewis is averaging 77% GIR. Lincicome fired 18 birdies and an eagle. In the end, her nerves defeated her.
Inbee Park is simply an extraordinary clutch player and her new putter, an exact replica of So Yeon Ryu's, served her well. Lincicome used 116 putts during the LPGA Championship, 31 of them in Sunday's round. Park used 115 putts, 30 of them on Sunday. That one putt was worth $129,709!
Brittany Lincicome remembered that she has an A+ game in her bag. I hope she'll pull it out and put it to work again. She'll have another chance next week at the Canadian Pacific Women's Open in London, Ontario. And Lydia Ko, who finished in solo 3rd place at the LPGA Championship, will attempt to collect her 3rd back-to-back win at the Canadian Open before the Tour goes to France for the 4th and final major of the year, the Evian Championship.
There's still much golf to be played!

Less than three years after launching its own music streaming service, Samsung is set to quietly retire its Music Hub service as of July 1.
The improved app boasts better voice recognition -- report.
A report from Recode says the relationship between the two companies has gone through "a huge change" over the past few weeks.
Designed with productivity in mind, Samsung's new tablets come in a range of sizes to suit plenty of different users.
We've put together 10 of the best hints for the powerhouse that is Samsung's Galaxy Note 3, with the aim of enriching your experience no end.
New software tools and a developer confab highlight Samsung's push to offer something different from all the other Android device makers. Think multiscreen.
The Korean company builds Android phones, but it still needs developers to make apps specific to its devices. CNET explains why.
For ages, the iPhone has been columnist Danny Sullivan's go-to gadget. But the Galaxy S4, with its large screen, has now become his "first reach" device.
The dual-core Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch and Tab 3 10.1-inch slates with Jelly Bean now have prices.

The season is in, and opening day bouldering at Larch Mtn Boulders has begun. Superb granodiorite bouldering at its finest, and all within a one hour drive from Portland. You can find virtual year-round bouldering by touring a combination of several local hot spots - Larch, Cascade, and BOG Boulders (Bridge of the gods boulders). All are local, fast to get to, and offer plenty of flavor that sure beats a repeat trip to old haunts. Larch Boulders are great from late April thru October (till November if dry days occur). Then shift over to Cascade Boulders and spend all winter (on dry days) workin' the circuit over there on an endless string of tricky andesite beasts, some as tall as 16'. When sunshine and clear sailing skies beckon, go visit these quality bouldering destinations. Browse our Bouldering web page for more details.

Exploring and scrambling has been a favorable pursuit in Northwest Oregon since before the turn of the 20th century.
In the Columbia River Gorge interest for exploration expanded, in part, because of the building of the Columbia Highway, which began in 1913.
Recreational values of northwest Oregon have continued to become focused and energized ever since those early years.
From the early 1950s onward rock climbers have found great interest in the local crags such as Broughton and Rocky Butte. As the rock climbing equipment improved, and as lead climbers broke into new degrees above the 5.9 level, these favorite local crags became great learning grounds for everyone to practice the sport of climbing.
Several local crags have structured governing policy concerning the activity of rock climbing. The land owners and/or governing agencies who oversee these areas strive to bring a degree of beneficial long term multi-purpose use to the site under their care.
St. Peter's Dome
Would anyone ever touch the summit of the St. Peter's Dome massif after Wayne's rope-solo? Yes, indeed!
Check out this vivid April 26th, 2008 ascent of the vertical cobblestone choss monster of the Columbia Gorge.
»» St. Peter's Dome
These three areas are:
Carver Bridge Cliff, privately owned crag with limited access granted to Carver Climbing Club members for $8.
Madrone Wall, Closed at present, but park development through Clackamas County is advancing.
and Beacon Rock. This popular climbing crag has a seasonal Peregrine Falcon closure on the south face aspect from approximately mid-Jan to mid-July.
Browse the link to each section for specific access information and other regulatory guidelines.
Our climbing crags do have certain objective dangers, and climbers should take precautionary measure against exposure to Poison Oak or rock fall.
Be safety conscious and use a helmet while climbing, especially at Beacon Rock. Wearing long pants will help to protect against encounters with poison oak. Learn to recognize the 3-leaf cluster of this very prevalent reddish foliage.
Note:»» The Iron Mountain Crag in Lake Oswego is NOT open to rock climbing. You risk being issued a trespassing citation by the Lake Oswego city police for being on railroad property. Do not climb at that crag.
Rock climbers in northwest Oregon generally seek the local crags from May to September. During this portion of the year mild Pacific marine air often mixes with inland Great Basin hot weather to bring a climber friendly cycle that keeps Northwest Oregon quite comfortable.
- Summer month temperatures average about 70°F to 80°F with occasional short peaks of hot sunny days in July and August in the 90°F to 95°F range. Check the forecast link NOAA Western U.S.
- Winter Pacific marine air brings a consistent series of rain showers, starting in late October through March. Cold winter rainy days offer temperatures that average in the 35°F to 50°F range.
- Virtual year-round rock climbing is readily available at Broughton Bluff and eventually the Madrone Wall. Both offer a southwesterly orientation toward the winter sunshine. With a little sunshine each of these crags will quickly dry out, and both crags provide a respite from the notorious howling east winds of the Columbia River Gorge.
- On Mt Hood is a biography of Oregon's Perilous Peak written by Jon Bell. A book about anything and everything related to the mountain: news, conditions, trails, campsites, wines, accidents, triumphs, stories, connections, and much, much more.
- An excellent alternative Fall and Spring climbing destination worth visiting to escape from rainy west side weather is Smith Rock in central Oregon. When western Oregon rains are simply too much, make a fast road trip over the mountains to the semi-arid, often-sunny Smith Rock climbing paradise.
- For those who like sustained vertical columnar basalt crack climbing then check out Jeff Wenger's website for Trout Creek. Trout Creek has become one of the quality new additions to the central Oregon climbing tour, and its a mere 3-hour drive from Portland.

It didn't help that the offense was non-existent for about three quarters of play, highlighted by Andy Dalton's third-quarter interception that was taken to the house by cornerback Brent Grimes. But once again, Marvin Lewis wouldn't let his team sulk in it's misery and accept their misfortunes as reason to quit.
No, this team once again fought their hearts out, and while they didn't come out with a win, this team continues to show the hearts of champions.
They'll have to rebound from this loss, as well as all the injuries they've suffered, but if the first half of the season is any indicator, they'll do just that.

Jon Stewart says his Rally to Restore Sanity is pure entertainment, but is it? Coming on the heels of Glenn Beck's DC rally in August, many people view this event as a direct response. We explore the line between satire and reality and ask when humor crosses the line into politics.

Regionals Update: All Nippon to buy Q400s
Japan's All Nippon Airways has placed an order for four 74-seat Bombardier Dash 8Q-400s, the first of which it plans to place into service next fall. The estimated $80 million deal will allow ANA to augment a 115-nm route between the western cities of Kochi and Osaka, where the group controls unused slots for propeller airplanes at Itami Airport. Slated for placement with ANA subsidiary Air Nippon Network, the four Canadian airplanes will arrive in Osaka by the end of 2004, by which time ANA plans to double the number of round trips on the route from seven to 14.
ANA's investment in its short-haul network signaled the first reaction to the newly established Japan Airline Systems Corp., a holding company formed early last month that merged Japan Airlines and Japan Air System. The newly integrated group now boasts a domestic network nearly as large in size and scope as that of ANA, Japan's leader for many years.
Bombardier has now placed 21 Q-series turboprops with five Japanese airlines, including Japan Air System subsidiary Japan Air Commuter. The Japanese launch customer for the Q400, JAC took delivery of its first 74-seat turboprop early last month. Based on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, JAC plans to replace its indigenous NAMC YS-11s with five of the Q400s on routes between the five remote islands of the Kagoshimi Prefecture.

I would like to add a few numbers that The Enquirer conveniently left off of its article "Streetcar role models" (April 29):
The average cost per rider in other cities ranges from a high of $60,000 in Little Rock to a low of $5,000 in Portland with an average of $27,000 for the five cities listed. Since Cincinnati's projected cost is more than double the highest cost listed for any other city it is safe to assume our cost per rider, will be much closer to $60,000 than $5,000.
Cincinnati City Council is currently projecting annual operating subsidies of $4.4 million. Of course the actual number will be higher, as council has yet to get a single cost item correct. Assume we get 4,400 riders per day, a wildly optimistic number which is more than any other city listed except Portland. That still amounts to a $1,000 per year subsidy for each rider.
You could buy every rider a car and a huge amount of gasoline for these amounts.

Todd-zilla says 'Sayonara'
Jean Lefebvre
April 29 2009 11:40PM
Even if you had good seats at the Saddledome that night, you might have missed it. After all, it happened at a meaningless moment in just another of the 82 marginally meaningful regular-season games. The play had come to a virtual standstill because the puck was in the neutral zone and both teams were making partial changes. Suddenly, the puck squibbed over to Todd Bertuzzi who decided to whip his stick across his body so that he could collect the rubber and dump it into the enemy zone wronghanded.
Western Review and Round 2 Predicto
April 29 2009 10:53AM
Round One of the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs are in the can and a few things are becoming clear. SJ might have been the biggest waste of a Presidency since GWB's second term in office. CGY continues to amuse us all with their special kind of suck and VAN might run out of weed if the Canucks are able to move through to the Western Final. Let's get right to it.
Hey Alberta... Hop On In...
Brian O'Neill
April 28 2009 05:24PM
Well for the first time since 1994 the Vancouver Canucks are Canada's last hope to bring a Stanley Cup back to the homeland. Now that the Flames have crashed and burned, Alberta is stuck in quite a quagmire. Cheer for the Canucks? But they hate the Canucks.
It's all over but the cryin'
Kent Wilson
April 28 2009 11:49AM
Lots of post mortems to come in the wake of another first round Flames exit. Let's take a tour around the immediate reactions:
- Eric Francis points multiple fingers. He also ponders the potential fate of the Flames pending free agents.
- Allen Cameron talks to Keenan about the Flames spate of injuries. The list of wounded by the end of the season was fairly extensive.
Big shock, right?
Ryan Lambert

This year's Newport Folk Festival started things off a little differently. Instead of just featuring two days of constant performances on several stages, fans were treated to an extra Friday night special show on the grounds – a pre-festival concert, if you will – providing a change in a setup that has existed for 53 years. People lined up at the gates, eagerly waiting to run alongside the beautiful waterline to get a front row spot to see Wilco, Blitzen Trapper, and Megafaun. While forecasts of dreary rain should have made the crowd anxious and bummed, everyone was stoked that soon they would see Wilco take the stage, a band that has been charming listeners since 1994.
Opening the set was the upbeat and folk-y Megafaun, a perfect example of what is to come in Newport Folk Festival's regular Saturday and Sunday schedule. The group couldn't contain themselves from jumping around, particularly guitarist Brad Cook and his brother, keyboardist Phil Cook. Vocals bounced between Cook and their drummer Joe Westerlund, providing a unique dynamic between a band that could not be more jolly under overcast clouds. An increasingly more heavy downpour began to scatter some of the crowd as equipment was covered. It wasn't long, though, before everyone at Newport wished the bad weather away and Blitzen Trapper took the stage. Making full use of harmonicas and maracas, the classic-rock-meets-folk-jam band brought the crowd back to the happy weather they were in moments before. Parents, teens, and babies all joined together in clapping the beat of "Furr", creating one of many waves of unity on the Rhode Island turf.
Ponchos began to peel off as fans were ready to dance and swoon under the charm of Wilco. When the sextet came out, everyone hollered as loudly as they could; we all finally made it through the storm to the destination. Wilco began their set with a song that failed to catch Jeff Tweedy's vocals for the first thirty seconds due to technical difficulties (which he later apologized for but said, "when you're all pointing at me, telling me to turn the volume up – I can't do anything! That's not up to me!" to which the crowd laughed). It was "Art of Almost", the beginning track off their most recent album The Whole Love, that brought out a collective excitement from the crowd, especially as it turned into a noisy but powerful jam at the end. Nothing made this more clear than seeing the first WERS beach ball whacked into the air and tossed about – the official sign of summer festival fun.
Among a setlist of subtly energetic tracks, no songs stood out as much as the continually perfect "Impossible Germany" and newer jem "I Might". "I Might", another track off of The Whole Love, really came to life in the live setting. The grungy, explosive bass and innocent, childish xylophone contrasted one another in a simple enough way to get kids doing improve dance moves in the grass and adults to let loose. It came as no surprise that "Impossible Germany" was a track that both took people's breath away and then gave it right back. The track, off of 2007′s Sky Blue Sky, manages to crawl from subdued and mellow to a guitar solo that becomes backed by Yes-like layers. Oh, that guitar solo – that alone was enough to get the crowd cheering in the middle of the song as Nels Cline worked his magic like it was nothing at all. The winding ease of the whole song, a song that is much less easy than it seems, cast a spell over the crowd that would keep away any more rain, had it decided to fall.
Numerous sources will tell you that Wilco are great live. Finally being able to see them myself, I can't say it isn't true; time has only served to polish them more. It may have been a struggle to keep equipment dry during this new Friday show at Newport Folk Festival, but high spirits kept the crowd smiling. Oh, and Wilco's near flawless performance helped a bit, too.
Congratulations to WERS News on winning 11 AP awards this year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Midian (Hebrew: מִדְיָן), Madyan (Arabic: مدين), or Madiam (Greek: Μαδιάμ, Μαδιανίτης for a Midianite) is a geographical place and a people mentioned in the Bible and in the Qur'an. William G. Dever suggests it was located in the "northwest Arabian Peninsula, on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea (the "Hejaz"). "[1]
Hadad the Edomite is specifically stated in 1 Kg 11:17-18 to have passed through Midian and Paran while fleeing from Edom to Egypt. Even so, some scholars have claimed Midian was not a geographical area but a league of tribes.[2]
The Midianites were the descendants of Midian, who was a son of Abraham through his wife Keturah: ". . . again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah." (Genesis 25:1-2, King James Version)[3]
The Midianites through their apparent religio-political connection with the Moabites[4] are thought to have worshipped a multitude of gods,[5] including Baal-peor and the Queen of Heaven, Ashteroth. An Egyptian temple of Hathor at Timna continued to be used during the Midianite occupation of the site. However, whether Hathor or some other deity was the object of devotion during this period is impossible to ascertain.
The people of Midian are also mentioned extensively (10 times) in the Qur'an, where the name appears in Arabic as Madyan. Sura 9, verse 70 says "Has not the story reached them of those before them? - The people of Nuh (Noah), 'Ad, and Thamud, the people of Ibrahim (Abraham), the dwellers [literally, comrades] of Madyan (Midian) and the cities overthrown [i.e. the people to whom Lūt (Lot) preached], to them came their Messengers with clear proofs. So it was not Allah who wronged them, but they used to wrong themselves."
In Sura 7 (Al-A`rāf) Madyan is mentioned as one of several peoples who were warned by prophets to repent lest judgment fall on them. The story of Madyan is the last, coming after that of Lot preaching to his people (referring to the destruction of the Cities of the Plain). Madyan was warned by Shu'aib to repent of using false weights and measures and lying in wait along the road. But they rejected Shu`ayb, and consequently were destroyed by a tremor (rajfa, v. 91). Abdullah Yusuf Ali in his commentary (1934) writes, "The fate of the Madyan people is described in the same terms as that of the Thamūd in verse 78 above. An earthquake seized them by night, and they were buried in their own homes, no longer to vex Allah's earth. But a supplementary detail is mentioned in [Qur'an] 26:189, 'the punishment of a day of overshadowing gloom,' which may be understood to mean a shower of ashes and cinders accompanying a volcanic eruption. Thus a day of terror drove them into their homes, and the earthquake finished them." (The volcano Hala-'l Badr is in Madyan.)

The Enquirer is going to start charging for online Cincinnati.com access. The New York Times built the same "wall" to an informed society not long ago.

Jerry Lewis in a movie for the first time in 18 years; with Mort Sahl even (self.Moviesinthemaking)
submitted 1 year ago by DLDLB
He's tanned, rested and ready and now, Jerry Lewis is back in a movie for the first time in nearly two decades. And he'll be working with long-ago fellow comedian and colleague Mort Sahl among others.
Kinda cool if you're a fan of classic comics, which Lewis certainly was. Back in the 1950s, with Dean Martin, they were MASSIVE stars. Who's interested in seeing what the legend ends up doing in this film?

7 famous Van Helsings who weren't Peter Cushing
Posted on Apr 23, 2012
Peter Cushing is by far the most famous portrayer of Dracula's nemesis, Abraham Van Helsing. He played the professor in various guises and incarnations in Hammer films from 1958's Dracula to The Legend of Seven Golden Vampires in 1974. But Cushing wasn't the only famous actor to play the original vampire slayer …
Laurence Olivier
Appeared as Van Helsing in Dracula (1979)
Comments: Arguably the greatest actor of his generation, if not all time, Laurence Olivier put another feather in his cap by playing Van Helsing in John "Satuday Night Fever" Badham's Dracula (1979) with Frank Langella as the Count.
Better known as: Hamlet, Henry V and a raft of Shakespearian types. Oh, and he also appeared with Peter Cushing in the Old Vic Theatre Company in the 1940s.
Edward Von Sloan
Appeared as Van Helsing in Dracula (1931) & Dracula's Daughter (1936)
Comments: Edward Von Sloan played Van Helsing in two films, though strangely was called Von Helsing in the 1936 Universal followup, Dracula's Daughter. The Van Helsing to Bela Lugosi's Dracula, he is told by the Transylvanian Count: "For one who has not lived even a single lifetime, you are a wise man."
Better known as: The strange fellow who comes out from behind the curtain at the start of Frankenstein (1931) warning the audience of the horrors that will soon unfold, so "if any of you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now's your chance to … well, we've warned you!".
Anthony Hopkins
Appeared as Van Helsing in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Comments: The veteran Welsh stage and screen actor gets brutal as the vampire-slaying Dutch Professor in Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of the Bram Stoker classic. He is even seen walking around with the decapitated heads of his foes. Very Cushing like.
Better known as: The fava bean and cianti-drinking Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter in the Silence of the Lambs (1992), for which he won an Academy Award, and the subsequent less-award-winning movie versions of the Thomas Harris crime novels.
Hugh Jackman
Appeared as Van Helsing in Van Helsing (2004)
Comments: Peter Cushing was always a kick-ass, action-man Van Helsing, but nowhere near as superhero-like as Aussie Hugh Jacksman. Jackman was the first actor to play Van Helsing as the title character, a swashbuckling, dashing young assassin for the Vatican rather than a funny little man.
Better known as: Wolverine. Jackman, an acomplished musical stage actor, has played the character Logan aka Wolverine in a series of Marvel Comic inspired movies, including X Men and X Men: Origins.
Herbert Lom
Appeared as Van Helsing in Count Dracula (1979)
Comments: Herbert Lom played Van Helsing to Christopher Lee's mustachioed Dracula in Jess Franco's arguably failed 1969 attempt to make a faithful retelling of the Dracula novel. The film is a case of an awesome cast doesn't always make an awesome picture.
Better known as: Chief Inspector Dreyfus, Inspector Clouseau's long-suffering boss in several Pink Panther series of films. He also played the title role in Hammer's 1962 remake of Phantom of the Opera.
Mel Brooks
Appeared as Van Helsing in Dead and Loving It (1995)
Comments: Dead and Loving It is one of the few Dracula films that actually intends to be funny. Veteran funnyman Mel Brooks joins Leslie Neilsen in this riotous send up of the Bram Stoker novel, taking full piss-take advantage of the then-recent Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and its now iconic scenes, sets and costumes.
Better known as: Everyone's favourite funnyman. Mel Brooks has had a long career writing, directing, producing and starring in some of Hollywood's funny films, including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Space Balls and The Producers.
Christopher Plummer
Appeared as Van Helsing in Dracula 2000 (2000)
Comments: Plummer plays Matthew Van Helsing, a descendent of the famous vampire hunter. Dracula 2000 was poorly received at the box office, but Plummer's perforamce as a frail antique store owner battling the Prince of Darkness is a highlight of the film.
Better known as: Captain Von Trapp. The Canadian actor, who recently won his first Academy Award aged 82, for Beginners (2010) sang his way into our hearts as the widowed patriach of the Von Trapp Family in The Sound of Music (1965), alongside Julie Andrews.

Miami Dolphins add two cornerbacks in waivers, a linebacker and WR Anthony Armstrong
- 3:25 pm Saturday, September 1st, 2012 by Post Staff
The Dolphins added depth to their secondary Saturday, and potentially a deep-threat receiver.
The Dolphins claimed second-year cornerback R.J. Stanford, according to his agent David Canter, and former Texans safety Troy Nolan, according to the Houston Chronicle. Receiver Anthony Armstrong, released by Washington yesterday after reportedly trying to trade him, was also claimed on Saturday, a source told the Post. And the Dolphins also claimed former Rams linebacker Sammy Brown, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Predicting the 53: Latest Miami Dolphins roster projection
- 10:05 am Thursday, August 23rd, 2012 by Post Staff
Four weeks of training camp are in the books for the Miami Dolphins. All that's left are two games (Friday against Atlanta, Wednesday at Dallas), three days of practice and a whole lot of roster cutting. The Dolphins currently have 88 player in camp after Eric Steinbach retired on Wednesday, and they need to get down to 75 players by 4 p.m. on Monday and to 53 players by 9 p.m. next Friday.
Here is our latest projection for the 53-man roster, plus the eight-man practice squad:
OFFENSE (26 players)
Miami Dolphins Aug. 3 practice report: Richard Marshall replaces Vontae Davis; David Garrard earns more snaps
- 1:52 pm Friday, August 3rd, 2012 by Post Staff
It was hardly a mundane Friday at Dolphins training camp. Plenty of interesting news and observations from today's practice:
* Earlier this week, defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle took issue with a reporter's statement that only one job on the defense – one of the safety spots – is up for grabs. The past two days, we've seen why: Vontae Davis has lost his spot, for now at least, to veteran Richard Marshall as one of the two outside cornerbacks in the base 4-3 defense. Friday, Marshall and Sean Smith began each drill as the two outside corners, and Davis would only come onto the field with the Nickel package (with Davis on the outside and Marshall on the inside).
Coach Joe Philbin said Marshall is "having a good camp."
"I really like what I see out of him," Philbin said. "Sometimes when you do the tackling drills and the blocking drills, sometimes you can kind of hear a good tackle or a good block, and Richard is one of those guys."
12 things we learned about the Miami Dolphins (other than the QB battle) from Day 1 of training camp
- 2:44 pm Friday, July 27th, 2012 by Post Staff
We'll have a lot more later today and in tomorrow's newspaper on the latest with Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins' three-headed quarterback competition.
For now, here are 12 items we got from the players, coach and owner following the team's first practice of training camp (they also have a walk-through later this afternoon):
1. Stephen Ross, on his expectations this year: "Every season I want to win, and that's the only way I can look at it. … I'm looking to win." When asked if Jeff Ireland is on any sort of hot seat this year, Ross said, "I'm committed to him. If I had any doubts, he wouldn't be here. We take one year at a time, but I think we have a great team here."
Miami Dolphins RB Jerome Messam says he will have 2nd surgery on left meniscus
- 6:33 pm Monday, May 14th, 2012 by Post Staff
The Dolphins are hoping to uncover another gem from the CFL with running back Jerome Messam. But Messam's offseason is now in question thanks to a meniscus injury he initially suffered in his left knee in November while playing for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Messam, a bruising 6-4, 248-pound back who participated in the Dolphins' rookie minicamp two weekends ago, wrote on his Twitter account today that he will undergo surgery again on Tuesday.
"Trying to stay positive about tomorrow, its hard tho when you have two surgeries in 5 months. #faith," he wrote.

Salary cap 101: Breaking down which Miami Dolphins veterans might be in trouble of making the roster
- 10:54 am Monday, May 14th, 2012 by Post Staff
Happy Monday! Hope everybody had a great Mother's Day celebration and enjoyed all of the sports on TV this weekend. Apologies for the inactivity on this blog the last few days – Brian was on vacation and I went to a wedding this weekend. Updates will continue to be sporadic over the next few weeks as Brian and I both take our vacation, but we will definitely have live updates from the Dolphins' OTAs on May 22, May 29 and June 11.
In our last post, we discussed the rookie class and how it will affect the Dolphins' salary cap situation. One of the points we mentioned in passing is that several players currently outside of the "top 51″ will make the roster – Charles Clay and Jimmy Wilson are locks, as are rookies Michael Egnew, Lamar Miller and Josh Kaddu. Fellow rookie B.J. Cunningham is a safe bet, and seventh-round picks Rishard Matthews and Kheeston Randall have decent shots of making the team, too.
A few young players also have decent shots of making the roster – Julius Pruitt, Jerome Messam, Marcus Thigpen and Vincent Agnew among them. And one or two of the 17 undrafted free agents will probably make the team – Jeff Fuller and Les Brown seem like the best bets.
Of course, for every player outside the top 51 that makes the team, it displaces a veteran currently inside the top 51. Who will those veterans be? Short of Joe Philbin telling me directly who he is going to cut, the answer is simple: Follow the money.
There are two types of veterans that become endangered every August – the veteran with a high salary cap number and little "dead money," and the veteran backup who also has little-to-no dead money (for a primer on dead money, check the bottom of this post). The common denominator, of course, is that cutting the player won't result in a big financial loss for the team.
Of course, the backup is much more likely to get cut than the player with the high salary cap number, who is likely a starter. But a few starters on the Dolphins might experience some anxiety come August, because their contracts may not work in their favor.
So let's take a look at the veterans who may – emphasis on "may," because we don't want to start an international panic – be cut before the start of the regular season, sorted into two groups:
Backup Veterans
Miami Dolphins trade up to draft Hurricanes RB Lamar Miller in 4th round
- 12:19 pm Saturday, April 28th, 2012 by Post Staff
The Dolphins went seven years without drafting a player from the University of Miami. This weekend, they took two in two rounds.
The Dolphins pulled off the first trade of the day on Saturday, trading with San Francisco to get the 97th overall pick (second pick of the fourth round) and using it on Hurricanes running back Lamar Miller, who many believed would be a second-round pick. Before Friday's third round, in the Dolphins drafted Hurricanes defensive end Olivier Vernon, the last Miami player drafted by the Dolphins was offensive lineman Vernon Carey.

Days of 'bigger and stronger' on offensive line are gone as Miami Dolphins switch to zone blocking scheme
- 10:03 am Thursday, March 29th, 2012 by Post Staff
New Dolphins coach Joe Philbin quickly identified an area of his team on Tuesday that needs to improve in 2012.
"My feeling as I watched the tape, the offensive line needs to get better if our quarterback position is going to play better, and so that's going to be a priority," he said at the NFL owners meetings.
Philbin, a former offensive line coach in Green Bay and the University of Iowa, won't just look to improve the Dolphins' line, which allowed 52 sacks in 2011, third-most in the NFL. He's going to change the entire approach.
The Dolphins will be switching to a "zone blocking scheme" this year, which will give the offensive line – and especially the running game – a much different look than in the previous four years under Tony Sparano.
Report: Miami Dolphins turn attention away from Peyton Manning, schedule visit with Matt Flynn
- 6:28 pm Thursday, March 15th, 2012 by Post Staff
The Dolphins reportedly have come to grips with the fact that they won't land Peyton Manning, and will instead focus their attention on contingency plan Matt Flynn.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter reported Thursday evening that the Dolphins will bring Flynn to Miami for a visit as soon as he completes a visit tomorrow with Seattle. Flynn flew there tonight to meet with the Seahawks, considered the Dolphins' top competition for him. Flynn, the former Packers backup, is considered the second-best quarterback on the free agent market.
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Stephen Ross' absence from Peyton Manning interview not necessarily a bad thing
- 9:40 am Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 by Post Staff
A trio of Dolphins Talking Points on the first day of free agency, which begins at 4 p.m. today:
1. Stephen Ross' absence from Peyton Manning interview isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Word broke late Monday night that the Dolphins did, in fact, meet with Manning for about six hours on Monday, just like he met with the Broncos and Cardinals for six hours each over the weekend. But in an interesting twist, Manning didn't visit with the Dolphins in South Florida, even though he has a home here. Instead, Manning secretly met with the Dolphins in Indianapolis, likely to avoid the intense media crush that is trying to follow Manning's every move.
And in another interesting twist, it was reported that only Joe Philbin, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman and other members of the coaching staff met with Manning. Owner Stephen Ross wasn't involved, and neither was general manager Jeff Ireland.
Some Dolphins fans are concerned today that Ross' absence from the meeting means Manning is not serious about joining the Dolphins. From our perspective, it means the exact opposite.

My friends bf touched my butt, what do I do?
So I have a friend named allie and she's not a close friend, but she's more than an acquaintance. Anyways, I have always thought that her bf flirted with me a little when a group of us would hang out, but I never took it seriously. And I guess I flirted back a little by laughing at all his jokes but he's really funny! I have no interest in him though because that would break the girl code.. So anyways, today I was walking in the hallway at school and I felt something on my back side. I turn around quickly, ready to slap someone, then I see it's my friends bf. then he proceeds to tell me it wasn't him, it was a " ghost". I cracked a joke about the hallways being haunted and then went to class. Should I tell my friend about it?
- Asked by shannabanna2013, A Do-Good Girl, Girl, 18-21, Student
hmm well it depends if it was like a brush up against or if he grabbed your ass. caus if it was a brush up it could have been an accident and he was just saying it was a ghost so it wasn't awkward. but if he grabbed your ass then maybe something needs to be done. i don't think i would really tell her though unless it became a problem. like if he does it again tell him look this isn't the first time and you need to stop it. you have a gf and i have no interest in you. flat out and straight forward. if he does it a third time tell your friend look he did it once, i let it go because i thought it was an accident, he did it again and i told him to stop, now he did it for the third time so maybe you wanna talk to him.
- Response by A Flirt, Girl, 17, Who Cares?
you should definitely tell her, that means he could be doing it to other girls and it's best if you tell her so she can talk to him so maybe she doesn't get hurt in the future :)
