About Fishbone
About Fishbone
What do you get when you combine funk, punk and ska? You get the sounds of the Los Angeles-based Fishbone, hailed as one of the most eclectic alternative rock bands of the late 1980s.
Still led by vocalist/saxophonist Angelo Moore, Fishbone formed all the way back in 1979 and has had some 19 members come and go. In addition to Moore, the current incarnation also includes John Norwood Fisher, Walter Kibby II, John Steward, Rocky George and Jay Armant. Nearly all of them were involved in the making of the documentary film "Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone," which debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 19, 2010. It was later screened at more than 100 film festivals in 20 countries, winning 12 awards for Best Documentary.
Fishbone is known for its 'goofy sense of humor' (according to Billboard), which extends straight to its past album titles. They include 1993's "Gave a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe," and 1996's "Chim Chim's Badass Revenge." They were followed by the turn-of-the-century disc "Fishbone and the Family Nextperience Present: The Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx" and 2006's "Still Stuck In Your Throat."
In February 2013, Fishbone posted an announcement on their website that keyboardist Dre Gipson ended his full-time involvement with the band to focus on a new project called Hunter Green. Fishbone was in the middle of a US tour at the time, and Freddie Flint filled in the rest of the way. A few months later, Fisher was named the new keyboardist and it was finally announced the band was working on a new album.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sports, business and gambling and are no strangers to each other, especially on the golf course where "gentleman" bets can be made on a hole-by-hole or even shot-by-shot basis. Just ask Michael Jordan what the action on the course can be like.
The latest convergence was when FBI investigators turned up with questions for golfer Phil Mickelson last week in Ohio before the start of the 2014 Memorial Tournament.
In question was a 2011 transaction involving Clorox (CLX - Get Report) stock just days before activist investor Carl Icahn announced his interest in acquiring a larger stake of the home goods company in July 2011. The connection between Mickelson and Icahn is professional gambler William "Billy" Walters, owner of three golf courses in Las Vegas.
In the days leading up to Icahn's unsuccessful buyout offer, Clorox saw its stock raise in value as an inordinate number of call options were placed on the Oakland, Calif. based company. Both Mickelson and Walters, among other investors, got millions of dollars in profit from the deal.
Icahn allegedly discussed his plans with Walters, who then allegedly passed on the information to Mickelson. Transactions that took place in 2012 involving Mickelson, Walters and Dean Foods (DF) are also facing scrutiny from investigators.
Mickelson and Icahn are two of the most notable figures in their respective trades and while he remains somewhat of an unknown outside gambling circles, Walters is considered by those in the industry to be among one of its leaders.
Paul Bessire from the handicapping Web site PredictionMachine.com said of Walters to CNBC, "He's unanimously considered at the top of his profession, yet for someone with such a high profile few people know much about him."
A five-time major champion and fan favorite, Mickelson, known as Lefty, has found himself in an unusual situation of defending himself for his life off the golf course as he tries to take advantage of a Tiger Woods-less PGA season this year.
"I have done absolutely nothing wrong," Mickelson said in a statement Saturday morning after his discussions with the FBI. "I have cooperated with the government in this investigation and will continue to do so. I wish I could fully discuss this matter, but under the current circumstances it's just not possible."
Icahn also denied any wrongdoing to the Wall Street Journal.
"We do not know of any investigation," Icahn said on Friday. "We are always very careful to observe all legal requirements in all of our activities." The suggestion that he was involved in improper trading, he said, was "inflammatory and speculative."
Walters told CNBC that he was innocent. "Those who know me best know that it is preposterous to think that I would involve myself in insider trading." At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Venue: Queen's Club
FI: Charlotte Cooper d Henrietta Horncastle 9-7 6-1.
CR: Charlotte Cooper d. Edith Austin (holder) 6-4 3-6 6-1
[From American Lawn Tennis]
The All-Comers final was on a Thursday. This was a new venue for this event, which had previously been held at Hyde Park, which had only 1 indoor court. Chattie Cooper was belwo form for much of the first set, missing routine shots, especially volleys, a weapon that is usually her forte. 'Horncastle, on the other hand, has made distinct improvement since last season. Her returns are much more severe, besides being well-laced, and she possesses a fairly strong backhand."
Cooper won a hotly contested final, only gaining the upper hand when she went out to 4 nil in the third set. During one thrilling point in the second game she dropped her racquet then picked it back up to reach a ball. Austin then sent it over the baseline. "The winner played a capital game, and showed much better form than in her other math (vs Horncastle)." ALT noteed the frequent volleying, and "on several ocassions Miss Cooper brought off a very telling smash."
From "Pastime", April 3, 1895: "Among the harbingers of spring must be numbered the Covered Court Championship meeting, held annually in March or April at the Queen's Club. The present occasion is the sixth since its institution in 1890, and it is marked by one novel feature – the holding of the [men's] singles championship. The Hyde Park Court has hitherto been the scene of this event, which was founded in the year 1885. In those days the Hyde Park court was the only covered court existing which had specifically been built for the practice of the genre, and consequently the meeting attracted good and fairly numerous entries.
"Since the erection of the Queen's Club courts, however, players have to some extent forsaken their old haunt, and in consequence the entries at Hyde Park have for some years past been very meagre – in quantity at all events. The Hyde Park authorities have undoubtedly acted wisely in negotiating with the Queen's Club for the transfer to the latter of the single championship and challenge cup, which will be therefore this year be played for for the first time in the West Kensington courts."

Originally thought to be the first Bohemian Championships for women, Mark Ryan has discovered that this was in fact the second edition of the event for women.
Bohemia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at this point in time. Hedwig Rosenbaum was from Prague in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). Rosembaum went on to further success, while the winner "Kara" (nee Karolina Maria Olga Chotkova) von Nostitz had a series of five sons from 1887 to 1900, probably effectively ending her tennis career. Kara's sister Sophie later wed Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne.

This tournament had not been held since 1891.
Mrs E Nevill (nee Mabel Grant) was a great South African champion visiting England in 1895. The adjustment to grass and a different level of competition must have been severe. Mrs Neville played an event at Hull in June but lost every game. "Unsurprisingly was greatly upset at this", wrote her husband.

Ten capital courts had been marked out without actually interfering with the cricket pitch. The entries all round were very large, and the quality of the players was good."

From "Pastime": August 21, 1895: "The tie took place on Saturday morning, and both in the stands and in the half-circle, where the spectators sit on the other side, every available inch was crowded. A more enthusiastic crowd has hardly ever been seen at a tennis tournament, but it needs must be said that apparently they gave more applause to Miss Jackson's winning aces than to Mrs Hillyard's. Why this should be so it is hard to say, as a more sportsmanlike – or shall we say more sportswomanlike – action than Mrs Hillyard's – the holder of the cup – in inviting Miss Jackson to stay with her during the tournament, and chaperone her for the week, it would be hard to find. If Miss Jackson had not been playing at the meeting, the Duke of Devonshire's Cup would have been Mrs Hillyard's own property, as she would have most certainly won it for the third year in succession."

*Note that there is some mystery surrounding this event from 1895 to 1897. Many sources list no winner. . An article from te San Francisco call on September 7 declared as of that day only two ladies had entered the event to challenge Bee Hooper. The names given were Miss Mitchell and Miss Martin-both from Reno, Nevada. An articlef from the same paper then reports on the chalenge round, calling Marion Jones the only competitor in this event to chalenge Hooper. This suggests that both Martin and Mitchell failed to show or defaulted. The Call went into delightful detail about both ladies. "On one side of the net was pretty Bee Hooper, a typical summer girl in her white straw hat, pink waist and white dick shirt, on the other hand was a young girl not yet in long skirts and with a briad down her back. She was unkwon to most of the spectators, but before many exchanges had been made "the little girl", as she was immediately dubbed, became a great favorite and her every scoring stroke was greeted with applause." The society crowd completely filled one of the long grandstands to watch a match with many interesting rallies.

This tournament was developed by Armand Masson, a relation of the player Adine Masson. They were French-Canadians based in France.
Re: 1895 Results
Would it be possible for you to check back over your work when you're finished, and maybe correct a few things? Or maybe plan it in advance? I notice you jam some of the results in under the month(s), but you leave a gap in between the month and the results in some other cases, e.g. April, where things look a bit neater as a result.
Directly under "Late June" you have [color=black] [font=verdana]. To me, that looks out of place there.
Finally, I did separate off individual results and sections in the results I submitted and which you are directly copying and pasting, but when there are other results, e.g. not submitted by me, you don't separate them off from each other, e.g. in "Jan-March" above. If you did, it would give a cleaner look to things overall.
I appreciate you're probably always in a hurry when you do what you do. That might also be why you moved straight from 1893 to 1895.
By the way, I just use my own particular format for reasons of consistency. Rollo uses many, many different formats, if you want to call them that. You appear to be more a multiple format type of person too.

I skipped from 1893 to 1895 because 1894 was already completed by Rollo, I believe.
You definately have a better eye for format than I do and I think consistency in that may matter more to you than to me. It's funny how what appeals to one eye does not even register for another. I'm afraid I don't even know what you mean by separating off results in Jan-Mar above.
You are correct that I did hurry off when I finished. I'm not even sure how the color and font marks crept in there and I will take them out.

Madison Square Art: Pet Sounds by Charles Long is Noisy and Bright
The Madison Square Art program does it again. As residents of Flatiron rental apartments well know, in addition to providing a lovely, well-designed oasis of grassy lawns, winding paths, and plenty of benches, the great Madison Square Park has emerged as one of the city's pre-eminent stages for public art, year after year commissioning unexpected works by some of the world's most sought-after artists.
My own personal list of recent favorites from the Madison Square Art program–jaw-dropping pieces that somehow fit neatly into the park's landscape–would include Roxy Paine's steel trees of 2007, Jaume Plensa's stunning big white head, growing in the grass last summer; and Antony Gormley's mysterious metal men–were they angels? demons?–who watched over the area in 2010.
Anyway, this year's summertime installation at Madison Square Park was unveiled last week, Pet Sounds by the California-based Charles Long, and it certainly is the brightest, blobbiest, and strange-noisiest installation the neighborhood's ever seen.
And while I'm not quite convinced by the introduction of a large patch of gravel to the Madison Square Park's main lawn (which gets crowded enough with sunbathers during peak season, and now will have 30% or so LESS lie-down-able space), Charles Long's Pet Sounds certainly adds a fun, almost playgroundish interactive element to the proceedings.
The structure of Pet Sounds is simple: different colored handrails flank gravel pathways at the south, east, and western ends of the lawn, leading to a central plaza with benches… and where each handrail transforms into a big, flabby, organic-looking "pet" which, when stroked, emit a series of eerie cries, or songs.
Some of Charles Long's pets reminded me of sea creatures–perhaps a manatee–while others, especially the bright pink one, looked more like giant wads of chewed up gum. Either way, Pet Sounds is definitely worth checking out, and it's always nice to see that Madison Square Art refuses to play it safe.
Charles Long: Pet Sounds will be on view as part of Madison Square Art from now through September 9. Come before June 1 and get some excellent food at Madison Square Eats, as vendors like Roberta's Pizza, Calexico, Mile End, Hot Blondies Bakery, ASIADOG and Birch Coffee take over the central square. Lots more info on everything here.

Eight Major Categories of Control-Flow Mechanisms
Control-flow is an ordering of the program execution. It decides which task should be completed first, which task should be completed second and so on.
The eight major categories to organize the control- flow mechanisms are:
1. Sequencing: Statements are executed in a specific predefined order, most probably in the order of their appearance in the program code.
2. Selection (or alternation): Depending upon some run-time condition, a choice between two or more than two statements (or expressions) is to be made. Examples of selection constructs include if and case (switch) statements.
3. Iteration: A given code segment is to be executed repeatedly. This needs to be done either a certain number of times (for example in case of for/do loops), or until a run-time condition turns out to be true (for example, in case of while, and repeat loops).
4. Procedural abstraction: A complex collection of control constructs (a subroutine) are encapsulated to be treated as a single unit. The collection is usually subjected to parameterization. Procedural abstraction is also used in case same code is needed in many sections of a program.
5. Recursion: An expression is directly or indirectly defined in terms of itself. Recursion is also known as self-referential or self-calling subroutines.
6. Concurrency: Two or more program segments are executed or evaluated at the same time. The execution may be either in parallel on separate processors, or may be interleaved on a single processor.
7. Exception handling and speculation: A program segment is executed assuming that some expected condition will be true. But, if that condition is not fulfilled (that is, it turns out to be false) then
i. In the case of exception handling, execution branches out to an exception handler that executes in place of the remainder of the protected fragment of code,
ii. In the case of speculation, the exception handler is executed in place of the entire protected code fragment.
8. Non-determinacy: The ordering of statements or expressions is not specified. This is done to imply that any of the alternatives will lead to correct results.

Love the Gregory Women's Deva 70 pack. Have had lots of back and hip problems and the individual moving shoulder and hip straps with the lumbar support are terrific. I'm 5`2" and the x-small fits me perfectly. Had to return another brand pack at a store because every step I took the pack moved side to side.
I've taken this backpack on some long trips and I believe the comfort of this bag makes all the difference. The padded waist/hip straps reduce the pressure on your hips and there are so many ways to adjust this bag to ensure the most comfortable fit. Its super roomy and very durable. I have been backpacking with it regularly for over a year. The shape of the bag means it doesn't sit flush with your back, which allows for reduced back sweat. A MUST HAVE for all ladies aspiring to go on overnight trips.
I love this backpack. I had hard time finding the right fitting bag.I tried so many packs, every single one in the store and they ordered some more for me to try on but I always went back to this bag.I'm 5'10'' and between medium and large torso fit.This bag comes only in medium and not large but medium worked for me. I carried 32lb backpack without a problem. It sits very comfortable on my back, the pockets are great and I love the sideways pocket for nalgene bottle easy access without taking bag off. It's a bit pricey but when you walk for days with you bag strapped on you will never feel sorry for spending that money.
Ok, so this pack is a little on the heavy side, but it is awesome for backpacking trips. I have the 60L pack and it works great for 2-3 day trips. I could probably pack it better and go on even longer trips, but haven't so far. Everything is fully adjustable and if you get it positioned on your hips right you'll have a comfortable backpacking trip, even with 40 lbs!
This is the only pack I've ever owned, and it'll probably last me forever. It fits very comfortably-it doesn't rub the wrong way anywhere, it's lightweight, and yet it manages to fit everything I need for a hike. I used it all summer in Alaska and never had a major issue.It would be nice if the hip belt pockets were a little larger; not much fit in them. Also, it was tricky keeping my hydration hose in place. There wasn't a good spot to attach it on the outside. The top detaches and becomes a daypack, but be warned that you have to wear it as either a fanny pack or a sort-of-awkward over-the-shoulder sling bag.Bottom line: it's a great pack. And it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Buy it.
Comfortable pack! Used for a 50 m hike with 45 lbs. I'm 5'2/125 lbs. Put 3L bladder in side compartment. Fit perfectly. Easy access for quick refills! Love external access to the main compartment & flap on front for quick access items. Sleeping bag fit in the bottom, but I prefer it on outside. Top hood has 2 compartments. Great for things I needed fast. H2O bottle pkt on side that is angled so it's reachable while walking. Other pkt is vertical so anything can be stored there. Zippered pockets on hip belt were KEY for easy access items. Heavy when full, but compresses down BEAUTIFULLY. Compression straps are great. Great pack for all b/c of its ability to carry so much or compress down.

Why does "Google" have two "l"s in its name today?
Mousing over the altered logo "Googlle" -- or is it "Goog11e"? -- reveals the alt text, "Google's 11th Birthday," a milestone Google is celebrating this month.
So is today the actual birthday? That may not be quite so simple to nail down.
The corporate history says Google has sometimes marked both Sept. 7 and Sept. 27 -- today -- as its birthday.
Sept. 4 also has been bandied about as a birthday of sorts -- connecting as it does to a fairly mundane event in Google's history. On Sept. 4, 1998, the company filed papers establishing it as a California corporation.
Google gave up on the specifics a few years ago and posted a page saying, "Google opened its doors in September 1998. The exact date when we celebrate our birthday has moved around over the years, depending on when people feel like having cake."
Today must be cake day -- though Google's media office did not immediately respond on this Sunday to a request for explicit confirmation.
However, besides the alt text hint, clicking on the logo linked to a search page with a number of references to the 11-year milestone. Not only did the search page's URL contain the element "11th_birthday" within its name, but the first result on that page, headlined "Google" and linking back to the search engine's home page, also contained the term "Google's 11th Birthday."
Pegging 1998 as Google's founding year may be no slam-dunk, either.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two Stanford graduate students who started Google, met in 1995 -- when Page was considering going to Stanford and Brin was assigned to give him a campus tour.
In 1996, they began working together on a search engine called BackRub, which was successful enough to crash the Stanford computers that hosted it. By Sept. 15, 1997, they had registered the online name "Google" (there's an archived version of their original home page, but you'll find it doesn't work), and in 1998 they began to run it out of the garage of a friend, Susan Wojcicki. Brin would later marry her sister, Anne.
Those were heady days in Silicon Valley, with companies popping up out of nowhere, attracting venture capital even if they had no idea when they would turn a profit. Google insisted on going slowly; it would not start selling stock until 2004.
"We sort of wanted to be profitable much before it was fashionable," said Page in an interview with ABC News in 2002.
"The people who were out there just to get rich quick, those have faded off," said Brin.
Now the company is big enough to be a verb -- you "Google" something if you search for it on the Web. (You don't "ExxonMobil" your car when the tank is low, or go "Walmarting" for bargains.) Alexa.com, a service that monitors online traffic, reports that 34 percent of global Internet users visit Google on a given day.
And if you go onto Google.com and search for Google itself, you'll hit news stories about how it's running into resistance in its efforts to digitize the world's books. It has designed a computer operating system, integrated with its year-old Chrome Web browser, to compete with Microsoft's Windows. Its managers talk a lot about "cloud computing," in which your documents, programs and other material are stored online, instead of in your own machine or handheld.
