Brad Williams has always wanted to be part of Kevin & Bean's April Foolishness, the comedy show that rock radio giant KROQ established in 2009. As a longtime listener, the Fullerton comic, who has done stand-up for nine years, was absolutely ecstatic when the morning show duo approached him to be a part of the 2012 lineup.
Williams will perform Saturday at Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City along with Last Comic Standing winner Felipe Esparza, London musician/comic Tim Minchin, Eddie Ifft, lovable Full House dad but raunchy comedian Bob Saget, former CNN host Larry King, April Foolishness mainstay Jay Mohr, super-foul-mouthed Aussie comic Jim Jeffries and English superstar Eddie Izzard.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! house band Cleto & the Cletones will once again serve as the event's musical entertainment. Proceeds from ticket sales, which ranged from $25 to $99, will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project and Cedars-Sinai Maxine Dunitz Children's Heath Center NICU. Both charities, Williams says, hold personal meaning to him.
"The Wounded Warriors Project is one of the best charities out there," says the veteran of several USO tours in a recent phone interview. "When it comes down to it, no one does it better. They actually help out our brave men and women who sacrifice so much for us, and they go above and beyond the call to help those soldiers out."
He's also pleased to see proceeds earmarked for Cedars-Sinai's NICU. Williams, 28, was born (at St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange) with a type of dwarfism known as achondroplasia. As someone who needed special care early in life, he's thrilled to be donating his time for that particular cause.
"I'm glad that this show always sells out so fast," he says. "I think the KROQ listeners really know their money is going to a good place, and they come out in droves every year in support. I think it just shows how good their hearts are and how good KROQ really is."
Williams' dwarfism is something he openly addresses in his act, and he says he isn't offended at all by Kevin & Bean referring to him as a midget on-air, though that has caused the morning show to receive strongly-worded complaint letters in the past.
"The very first time I was on their show, I was happy as heck and I told them they could use that word – it's fine," he explains. "That word, to me, I don't see how it's bad. It doesn't come from a place of hatred like a lot of racial slurs come from. It's a word that little people decided to take as a bad word and say 'You know what? No, this is our word and you can't call us that.'
"If people did the research behind the word, it's nothing bad. When the organization LPA (Little People of America) was first founded, it was called Midgets of America. So you can't say, 'Hey, this is what we are' and then at some point say, 'Oh, hey, we're not that anymore, and if you call us that, it's the equivalent of calling a black person the n-word.' No, it's just not."
Williams says he's looking forward to meeting Izzard and watching him perform, as well as finally having some face time with Mohr, a comic who famously has done a "midget walk" impression on stage and on tape for KROQ's website.
"I've seen a version of (his) walk and, yeah, it's pretty accurate," he says, with a laugh. "People say: 'Oh, aren't you insulted?' Jay Mohr does dead-on impressions of Christopher Walken, Tracy Morgan, Norm Macdonald and a lot of other people. Are they insulted that he does an impression of them? I think it's great."
While attending Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, Williams says he was always the class clown and voted most likely to become famous his senior year. He participated in comedy sports, an improv-style event held by the school, and credits an "amazing" theater teacher, Mary Krell-Oishi, who taught him that he didn't always have to play the funny sidekick.
"She told me that I didn't just have to be the bit part, the side gag, but that I could be a leading man and be someone who was respected for their talents," he says of his mentor. "That really helped me, especially getting into comedy, to get away from the hack-y 'hey, I'm tiny, I can take a bath in a thimble' thing.
"I wanted to get away from those jokes and get into humor that serves a greater purpose and goes along much broader lines. I'm not just a dwarf comedian. I talk about a lot of topics, and I will talk about dwarfism – because if I don't, the entire audience just stares at me like 'Does he know?'"
In 2003 Williams went with some friends to a show at the Brea Improv, headlined by Carlos Mencia. During his set, Mencia began telling midget jokes – and immediately noticed that one side of the room wasn't laughing at those bits. In fact, they were downright uncomfortable, shuffling their feet and hands, clearing their throats and making small coughing noises.
Mencia finally asked, "What? Is one of them here?" Williams says he raised his hand. Without flinching, Mencia called him up on stage.
"We just talked for a bit and I cracked a couple of jokes," he recalls. "He asked me if I was a comedian and I said that I wasn't, and he said: 'Well, you should be.' When a guy who has been doing it as long as he has been, who has been as successful as he has been, tells you to do stand-up, you start doing stand-up. From there, I started going 'round and doing open mic nights.">

Microsoft recently withdrew support and patches for Windows XP SP2. The move marks the latest in a string of moves by the company to kill of products and technologies that either outlived their uselessness or never became useful in the first place. We look at the eight products that have been withdrawn by Microsoft this year.
Response Point VoIP
Microsoft said it will stop selling its Response Point phone system on August 31, clearing the way for its Office Communications Server to lead the company's VoIP charge. The move came as little surprise, because Microsoft moved Response Point to 'engineering maintenance status' last year and laid off some employees in the Response Point product group.
The Response Point VoIP system was designed for small businesses with up to 50 employees.
Microsoft Certified Architect Solutions and Infrastructure certifications
Microsoft says it has discontinued these certifications and is offering for the rest of this year to those with the certifications a one-year membership in the International Association of Software Architects (IASA) and funding to help get an IASA certification, or fund a three-year membership in the Association of Open Group Enterprise Architects (AOGEA). Microsoft says it launched these certifications in 2004, before the industry had other established organisations dedicated to the architectural profession.
Windows Essential Business Server
Microsoft in March announced in a blog post that it would stop further development of EBS after June 30, though it will continue to support the product. One blogger wrote at the time of the announcement that the product for midsize businesses was being nixed in part to pave way for the company's new cloud strategy.
In the Microsoft post, the company said it's seen its customers shift away from EBS and "towards technologies such as management, virtualisation and cloud computing as a means to cut costs, improve efficiency, and increase competitiveness".

Mulberry/Strawberry Freezer Jam
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
Adapted from original Libby's Mulberry Rhubarb Jam. First did with kids from Vera Court Community Center near Troy Gardens. All of the mulberrys were gathered using the old method of a big sheet on the ground under the tree with a very long pole and hooks on the end. Hook the highest branch you can reach and shake the hell out of the tree. THE KIDS WERE AMAZED. Mid to late June is the perfect time to gather the Mulberrys. Troy Gardens probably has 25 to 30 fruitfull trees. Now to just remember when they are ripe and then get there to gather them.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups mulberries
- 1 cup strawberry
- 3 cups sugar
- 8 ounces strawberry Jell-O gelatin dessert
- Cook any combination of berrys and sugar together for 10-15 minutes with a little water.
- Add Strawberry Jell-O gelatin.
- Label containers or bags with ITEM & DATE.
- Pour into containers or freezer bags and freeze.

Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has said that the Government has constituted an expert committee for developing Kannada software and is awaiting its report.
He has disclosed this in a written reply to Chairman of the Kannada Development Authority and MLC Mukhymantri Chandru, who sought details of action initiated by the Government for the implementation of Kannada in administration.
Mr. Chandru sought the details when the budget session of the Legislative Council was in progress but the reply came after the House session ended.
Right from the taluk level, all the official heads in all the departments concerned have been asked to submit a progress report on the implementation of Kannada compulsorily on the fourth day of every month on a regular basis. All the issues pertaining to the implementation of Kannada, including progress and problems, should compulsorily be deliberated in all the district and taluk level review meetings. In an exclusive circular, the Government had also asked the higher officials concerned to register their remarks in the annual service record against those who did not use Kannada in administrative matters, the Chief Minister said.

CD Reviews for Nov. 13-19
B "Underground Whispers"
DePue/De Hoyos
Looking at a song list that contains covers of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Dust in the Wind," you wonder whether violinist Alex DePue and guitarist Miguel De Hoyos couldn't have come up with a more original way to show off their considerable skills. But much like the New Age duo of Willie & Lobo, DePue/De Hoyos play with such disarming enthusiasm and consummate skill that even such stale war horses as "Hotel California" and Billy Joel's "The Stranger" are a pleasant listen in their hands.
And they inject a huge streak of Latin fire into everything they play, with both Spanish flamenco and South American influences abounding, that for much of "Black Magic Woman" the theme is unrecognizable. Similiarly, "The Stranger" opens not with Joel's too-familiar theme, but with a riff from a transitional passage in the song. And on the Mexican standard "La Bamba," DePue takes the opening on violin, giving it a different approach than most arrangements which have the riff played on guitar.
The combination of rearranging popular tunes and the virtuosic playing of the two men gives most of the songs a freshness few of them have enjoyed in years.
DePue & De Hoyos perform Nov. 16 at the Beach Club Grille in Imperial Beach; and Nov. 19 at Carlsbad High School.
B+ "Soul Collective"
Bradley Leighton
Pacific Coast Jazz
For a guy who doesn't write much of his own material, San Diego flutist Bradley Leighton nevertheless should never run out of songs to give his patented once-over treatment. His fourth release follows the lead of his predecessors by turning in some stunningly tight soul-jazz covers of popular hits of different styles. This go-round, Hall & Oates' "She's Gone" is turned into a percolating R&B dance number. Two tracks later, he and his band rework the 1967 country classic "Ode to Billy Joe" into a low-sizzle jazz-funk piece.
Leighton plays flute with an aggressive, muscular edge -- it's a unique style, but one he's honed to perfection and one that works well with his style of uptempo jazz-tinged soul.
Producer/keyboardist Allan Phillips wrote five of the nine songs, and his originals fit in nicely with the covers. Leighton and Phillips have crafted a fun, energetic style that sits somewhere between old-school R&B and contemporary smooth jazz. Whatever name you want to give it, it's a fun listen.
Bradley Leighton performs Nov. 16 at Humphrey's Backstage Lounge in San Diego.
A- "Soul Men: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"
Various artists
If Bernie Mac hadn't been such a force in comedy, he might have been able to make a living in another branch of entertainment -- perhaps as a singer. On the soundtrack to the film of the same name that opened last Friday, Mac and co-star Samuel L. Jackson do a more than credible job on their three tracks of portraying their roles as classic soul singers on the comeback trail after the death of the former leader of their trio. Whether it's singing background to John Legend on the Oldham-Penn soul classic "I'm Your Puppet" or a Sam & Dave-styled vocal duo on Rufus Thomas' little-known "Boogie Ain't Nuttin' (But Gettin' Down)" or backing Sharon Leal on a 14-minute extended riff on Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing," Mac and Jackson show both chops and true soul styling in their singing.

. Someone's gotta die and i don't see Rick, Michonne or Daryl dying anytime soon.
I hope not; although former "longtimers" such as Lori, Dale, T-Dog and Shane met their end, the show needs to avoid introducing expendable new characters. It would be interesting to develop Oscar into someone who can continue to rise above his inmate status (he's already displayed some moral sense in his reaction to the hermit's death and use as zombie food) and add another wrinkle to the character dynamic.

LONDON – There were 8 million tickets sold, so there were, in effect, 8 million different Olympics.
If you only got into the velodrome, then you sweated profusely and heard "God Save The Queen" more than advisable.
But if your rickets were at Horse Guards Parade, just outside the bedroom windows of the Queen and the Prime Minister, then you had a scrapbook-perfect Olympics.
Either way you were in London, a city that reveals itself block by block, with "aha" moments around each corner.
Far from weary of the Games, Londoners have bought 2.1 million tickets for the Paralympic Games that immediately follow.
Not long ago the Olympics seemed lost. The horrors of Munich were followed by three consecutive boycotted Games, ones that nearly bankrupted Montreal and embittered first the Eastern Bloc and then the U.S.
Seoul in 1988 was a militarized zone, and the scene of Ben Johnson's falling-out party.
Barcelona in 1992 was more festive, but that's when the marketing folks took over, with Michael Jordan going through hoops to cover up his Reebok logo. The athletes seemed more linked to shoe companies than nations.
In 1996 there was Atlanta, and that's all one has to say at a Games to kill the buzz. It has become a one-word epithet, like Chernobyl or Dunkirk.
Since then, however, the Olympics have become Global Party Central, with politics forgotten and the terrorists proactively disarmed.
Somehow the athletes have found the sweet spot. They push themselves to extremes to win and set records, yet they often lose with grace. The medal count, such an imperative during the Cold War years, is barely mentioned, except by host nations who usually outperform their hopes.
In 2004 the British won 30 medals, nine golds, and were 10th overall. Here they won 29 goals, 59 medals and were fourth overall, and when Mo Farah piggybacked the 5,000 meters on top of his 10,000 victory and crossed the line with triumphant disbelief in his eyes, British journalists leapt to their feet.
"It was our great national moment," said a Times reporter, making Americans wonder when they last had one of their own.
Somehow it seems cleaner when you play for your people instead of some preening, tone-deaf owner.
And the concept of the silver medalist as "the first loser" has mercifully eroded.
There was greatness and history here, which is all we should ask. Usain Bolt was as good as you can be, but maybe not as good as he'll be someday – too bad the Tonka Toy stadium and Bolt's personal finish line, will disappear in a few months.
Michael Phelps and Misty May-Treanor said goodbye from their usual perch. But there were upsets, too, especially David Boudia's 10-meter springboard gold over China's Qiu Bo on Saturday night.

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson admits more of his young players could move away on-loan in the coming weeks.
Eriksson said: "(Shaleum) Logan is on loan, we've got Kasper (Schmeichel) out, Ishmael Miller is scoring for West Brom and maybe before the deadline we might be able to give one or two more of the young players the chance to go out on loan.
"I think it's the right policy to have and to let them play football. The important thing is that we find the right clubs for them, first of all where they play football, good football and where they can play regularly.
"For some of them, I think it would be very good if they go out on loan, because I think it's better to play football in the league than in the reserves."
Eriksson admitted he has had plenty of interest from rival managers keen to take his players on loan.
He said: "Now and then, we have had clubs who wanted to take our players on loan.
"I can tell you, without naming names, that I got a phone call a few weeks ago asking for one of our very good players.
"He said: 'I've got some problems, can I take him on loan?' This wasn't a Premier League team, but a Championship team.
"I said: 'No chance. Not even a discussion.' Then we played on the Saturday against Newcastle, and on the Sunday morning I got a text message from the same manager saying: 'I understand why you said 'no' now!'"
Former Manchester United defender David May is emigrating to the United Arab Emirates.
May is
is to take up a post as head of football at a new Dubai school and told the Manchester Evening News: "A friend working out in Dubai asked me if I knew of any ex-United player who might be interested in going over and running the football at a school.
"I said: 'Me. I'll have it' - and that was it. That was the interview. He rang the headmaster and within two or three days I was offered the job.
"My wife is delighted and the kids can't wait. It is for two years initially but it is an open contract. If we enjoy it and we all settle down I can stay on.
"It is a chance of a lifetime and I have to take it. The most important thing for me is my family and I want to give them the best start in life. Fingers crossed it will go well.
"I have been out there for the last month and seen what I like so we are going to take a gamble and enjoy it."

Why Israel Tour Books Are for Tourists
A 'Haaretz' writer finds them cringeworthy
Haaretz's Yotam Feldman takes a "voyeuristic" perusal of guide books for tourists to Israel, and discovers the reason why "[t]hese books are translated into every language but the one spoken in the country being described." He finds a portrait of his home country that makes him uncomfortable—but we confess that as recent travelers to the holy land, and thus part of the books' target audience, we don't find them as far off the mark as Feldman might like to believe.
While the suggestion that curious travelers ask a Palestinian woman "about her embroidery and its significance" might sound silly or condescending, it's hard to think of a better suggestion; chances are, she won't want to discuss last week's episode of Mad Men or the rush hour traffic in your home town. And if, as Feldman says, the books "stop just short of explaining one should chew food moderately yet persistently in order to avoid indigestion," that's probably because overwhelmed travelers can get flummoxed by mundane things such as buying toothpaste or making a phone call from their hotel. He takes umbrage at one book's assertion that "Israelis prefer to drink instant or Turkish coffee, and when they drink alcohol, they prefer Goldstar beer"—but, well, that jives with our recent experience. If he wants to change Israel's reputation regarding beverages, he might want to start with a letter to whomever plans hotel buffets.
Feldman does strike on something disturbing in the way these guides treat the Palestinian territories, which they present as "ideal sites for the danger enthusiast," apologizing that Gaza doesn't quite measure up to Iraq or Afghanistan. But his idea of what kind of book the average traveler might be looking for—"The one I would put together for visitors to Israel would bring them to places that are not very different from the ones where they live: residential neighborhoods, city parks and suburbs. It would help them understand public transportation, and let them sit in on court hearings and university lectures"—proves that not only is it better for locals not to read the books, but probably not to write them either.

My body loves the Ayurvedic way of eating. Over the years I've come to understand the more more "in tune" I am with my tummy the calmer and more settled I feel. It's true. Certain foods (like ghee) really relax my belly. Eating mainly warm food works wonders and sipping warm water is so much better for my digestion.
Sure I've ventured off, over the years, exploring other ways of eating such as raw food and vegan but nothing seems to work as well for me as the Ayurvedic approach. My body thrives on warm, light food with a good dash of ghee.
I encourage you to start "tuning in" to how your tummy feels after eating and drinking. Notice how it reacts to "that drink" or "that dish". Notice how your body feels when you skip a meal or eat on the go.
For me skipping a meal is probably one of the worst things I could do. My body quickly becomes agitated and restless. My nerves are frayed. I've left my body.
So, for years now I've let my tummy tell me the right and wrong foods to eat – and its so closely linked to the Ayurvedic way its not funny.
This is where I stop writing and hand you over to the fabulous Ayurvedic expert on all things digestive, Nadia Marshall from Byron Bay, Australia.
You are welcome to check out her blog Agni or watch her on Agni TV …. she has a beautiful energy.
Top 10 Ayurvedic Digestion Tips:
by Nadia Marshal Ayurvedic consultant, Ayurvedic cook, yoga teacher and writer, Byron Bay
Western medicine recognizes many of the top chronic diseases of our time being dietary-related. Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India, takes things a little further. It teaches that ALL diseases are dietary related; that ALL diseases actually begin in the digestive tract due to an imbalanced digestive fire.
So, gaining weight isn't necessarily a big deal in Ayurveda but indigestion is. What we eat, when we eat and how we eat… matters. A lot. But what matters more is starting to notice how we feel after we eat and responding to that.
1: Drink hot water and avoid cold drinks – cold drinks and cold food (like ice cream) put out your Agni while hot water fuels it …. so sip boiled water or herbal teas throughout the day and you'll feel like a different person! If its hot, room temperature water is fine.
2: Always eat fresh fruit on its own – we get this one really wrong in the West! Fruit is digested really easily. If you eat it with other foods, it stays in the stomach too long and is over-digested …… it ferments and turns into Ama! So always eat fruit on its own as a snack between meals.
3: Scrape your tongue – get a metal tongue scraper (preferably copper) and gently scrape the coating off your tongue each morning. This is your Ama. If you don't remove it, it will be reabsorbed.
4: Have a ginger, honey and lemon tea every morning – add 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger + 1 tsp honey with a squeeze of lemon to hot water and drink in the morning before your breaky. This mix is specially designed to strengthen Agni and remove Ama!
5: Eat a lighter meal for dinner and a bigger meal at lunch – our Agni is strongest in the middle of the day, when the sun is highest in the sky so eat more at lunch and a smaller, lighter meal in the evenings.
6: If you're not hungry, don't eat – If you've had a massive, heavy meal that you haven't finished digesting by the time you're supposed to eat your next meal, don't eat ….. or have something really light instead. Give your Agni time to do its job!
7: Don't overdo the raw food – raw food diets are all the rage but they are not great for your Agni. So, enjoy raw food in moderation but don't overdo it. Cooked food is much, much easier to digest and supports long-term balanced Agni.
8: Don't overdo the exercise – a gentle 20-30min walk in nature everyday for the rest of your life will be far better for your Agni than on-again-off-again bootcamps! Extreme, erratic approaches to exercise will affect your Agni, your nervous system and your mind… so do something you enjoy, at a pace you can sustain!
9: Don't be afraid of oil – using a moderate quantity of good quality, stable oils in your cooking is great for your Agni… it is fuel for your internal flame! Organic, cold-pressed oils like sunflower and sesame oil are good… and ghee is fantastic because it specifically balances Agni. Olive oil is great too but don't over-heat it.
10: Eat real food – take baby steps towards eating more real food… by 'real', I mean food that your great grandmother would recognize as food. This will involve learning how to cook a few dishes from scratch, using whole foods like rice, moong daal, spices etc. Sounds scary but it really isn't if you have a good cookbook.

It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes - principally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and technical support. The overall goals are to find, attract, and win new clients, nurture and retain those the company already has, entice former clients back into the fold, and reduce the costs of marketing and client service. Customer relationship management describes a company-wide business strategy including customer-interface departments as well as other departments.

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) A Fort Pierre man was sentenced to spend 25 years in prison after being found guilty by a jury of assault and weapons charges in December–and for his guilty plea to a separate charge of Attempted Possession of a Controlled Substance. 33-year-old Derek Boe appeared in a Pierre courtroom to hear his punishment for the crimes today. Boe was found guilty at trial of Aggravated Assault Domestic Violence; Discharge of a Firearm at an Occupied Vehicle and Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person for an incident that occurred in January 2012 when a shotgun discharged at close range into a vehicle occupied by a woman who had been Boe's girlfriend. She received cuts from glass and flying debris. While Boe was out on bond for the charges linked to that case he tested positive last August for drugs and pleaded guilty last month to a separate charge of Attempted Possession of a Controlled Substance.
In court this morning, Judge John Brown heard statements on Boe's behalf from a woman who has four children with Boe; and from his 15-year-old daughter. Both asked the judge to give Boe a light sentence.
Boe's lawyer said several facts linked to the incident in January of 2012 don't warrant a severe sentence. He said Boe had no intention of harming the woman and instead, after the gun discharged into the vehicle, he checked on her, and later assisted her when the woman called Boe for help cleaning up. The woman also spoke, telling Judge Brown that prior to the 2012 incident, she had never seen a violent bone in Boe's body. She said the two had known each other about five to six years.
Brown gave Boe 20 years for the charge of Aggravated Assault, 20 years for Discharge of a Firearm in a Vehicle and five years for Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person. Those sentences are to be served at the same time. A separate five year sentence was also pronounced for Attempted Possession of a Controlled Substance and it is to run consecutive to the punishment for the other three charges.
Former Hughes County States Attorney, now Assistant Attorney General Kelly Marnette represented the prosecution in this morning's sentencing and said she was satisfied with the sentence that was pronounced in the Boe case. She says costs owed by Boe for restitution, attorney fees and other fees add up to about $20,000.

Wigan close to drop, Man City in Champions League
More News from Associated Press
WIGAN, England — Wigan's Premier League survival hopes took a major hit by losing 3-2 at home to Swansea on Tuesday, while Manchester City secured its place in next season's Champions League with a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
Escaping the bottom three looks a tall order for Wigan now after twice surrendering the lead at DW Stadium, with Dwight Tiendalli grabbing the 76th-minute winner for Swansea in a helter-skelter second half.
Wigan, which has escaped relegation on the final day in three of the last six seasons, is three points from safety with two games left — one of which is away at Arsenal.
"We have never thrown the towel in at this football club and we won't do it this time round," Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said.
"There are still many twists and turns … but obviously today was fantastic opportunity."
City, which plays Wigan in the FA Cup final on Saturday, was celebrating another season of Champions League football after Edin Dzeko's 35th-minute winner at Etihad Stadium. It guaranteed the deposed champions, who fielded a largely second-string lineup with this weekend in mind, a top-three finish.
"It was a difficult game because we changed a lot of players, but it was important for us to win the game," City manager Roberto Mancini said.
The two Robertos couldn't be heading to Wembley in more different mindsets.
While Mancini has a fresh and largely fully fit squad to call upon and no more worries in the league, Martinez has a whole host of injuries — and the very real prospect of relegation — to contend with.
Defender Ronnie Stam sustaining a suspected broken leg after almost his first touch of the ball capped a frustrating night for Wigan that began so brightly with Roger Espinoza volleying home the opening goal in first-half injury time.
Wigan needed victory to climb clear of the bottom three and dump Newcastle into the relegation zone but fell apart after the break, even though James McCarthy regained the lead for the hosts in the 53rd after Angel Rangel had volleyed Swansea level three minutes earlier.
A defensive error by Gary Caldwell was pounced on by Itay Shechter in the 59th for Swansea's second equalizer before Wigan pair Shaun Maloney and James McArthur collided trying to clear a cross, allowing Tiendalli the chance to sweep home a close-range finish.
"You have to accept we shot ourselves in the foot," said Martinez, who used to manager Swansea. "After the second goal, you felt the players could not be themselves. The dressing room is really down.
"We have done it (survived against the odds) before and we can do it now — we can go anywhere in the Premier League and get the points."
Wigan doesn't play Arsenal until next Tuesday, by which time its three-point deficit to Newcastle, Norwich and Sunderland could have grown.
The likes of Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure were all rested by Mancini for the visit of West Brom but it didn't backfire, with Dzeko making amends for a number of missed chances by his teammates by guiding home a volley after good work by Carlos Tevez.
City struck the goal frame twice, through Carlos Tevez and James Milner, in the first half. Sweden striker Markus Rosenberg did likewise for West Brom after the break.
"After 10 minutes, we started to play better and we missed five incredible chances to score which made it difficult for us in the second half," Mancini said.

Texans tied for NFL's best mark
It wasn't pretty, but the Houston Texans found a way to beat the Bears and escape Chicago tied for the best record in the NFL.
Now the Texans (8-1) are preparing for one of the NFL's worst teams in Jacksonville, focused on improving as they inch closer to their goal of reaching the Super Bowl.
Houston coach Gary Kubiak believes Sunday's win will help his team in the future.
''The more ways you find to win in this league, you get more confidence,'' he said. ''Things like that give you a chance to be a great team. There will be nothing false about what we are when we get there at the end because we've been in some tough situations. And the more we handle them, the better we get.''
He said winning a tough game on the road was particularly important with games at New England and Indianapolis coming up in the second half of the season.
Kubiak sees the Texans maturing, and knows that will be key if they hope to become a championship team. He talks to his team often about getting to that goal.
''Can you be a good enough football team or a good enough organization to win a championship,'' he said he asks his team. ''I think there are different levels and we're trying to work our way toward that mindset.''
The Texans got the 13-6 victory on Sunday by forcing four turnovers and grinding out the win with their running game led by Arian Foster's 102 yards rushing and the game's only touchdown on a 2-yard reception.
Foster is third in the NFL with 872 yards rushing. Kubiak has been pleased with him all season, but thought his work on Sunday night was particularly impressive.
''I would say that was about the toughest 102 yards a man could get,'' Kubiak said. ''If you look at some of the great games he's had, I don't think there's anything bigger than last night because we were running against eight-, nine- man fronts all night. Everybody and their brother knew who was getting the ball and he still found a way to keep us on track.''
Houston's line led by end J.J. Watt, usually leads the way defensively. But against the Bears, it was the secondary that came up big. Safety Danieal Manning, a former Bear, led the way with an interception and a forced fumble.
But that wasn't the only way he contributed to the win.
''He did a really good job with our team the night before the game, just talking about what it was going to take to win in that place,'' Kubiak said. ''He's a leader on this team and a fine player. I thought he did an exceptional job with the rest of his teammates this week letting them know what it was going to be like, how we were going to have to play to win that game.''
Cornerback Kareem Jackson also had an interception for the Texans. Jackson has shaken off a slow start to his career to emerge as a solid member of Houston's defense in his third season.
''We all know what Kareem's been through,'' Kubiak said. ''Good pros, they go through tough times early in their career, but then when they come out of it, they're consistent and good for a long, long time. I think that's what you're seeing from Kareem.''
The Texans could get a boost this week with the return of a trio of injured players. Running back Ben Tate, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, has been running with trainers and could play on Sunday.
Nose tackle Shaun Cody (ribs) and tight end Owen Daniels (back), who sat out Sunday, are also better and should return to practice this week. Cody will go through what Kubiak called a trial run on Wednesday.
''If he's able to work through that situation I think you could see him on the field probably Thursday or Friday,'' Kubiak said of Cody. ''We're heading toward him being back active and being a part of it.''

Commission will start proceedings in Islamabad on Monday
A judicial commission set up by Pakistan's Supreme Court to investigate the memo scandal has summoned ISI Chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha and the former envoy to the U.S., Husain Haqqani, to appear before it.
The three-member Commission, constituted by the apex court on Friday in response to a batch of petitions seeking a probe into the scandal, will start its proceedings in Islamabad on Monday.
The commission has summoned the ISI chief, Mr. Haqqani, Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz and the former U.S. National Security Adviser, James Jones, to appear before it to record their statements, media reports said on Sunday.
It could not immediately be ascertained when they had been asked to appear.
District and Sessions Judge Jawwad Abbas, Secretary of the Commission, on Saturday issued notices to other respondents in the memo case, including the Attorney-General, Foreign Secretary, Interior Secretary and Cabinet Secretary.
Balochistan High Court Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa is the head of the Commission, which has been given four weeks by the apex court to "ascertain the origin, authenticity and purpose" of the secret memo that had sought the U.S. help to stave off a possible military takeover in Pakistan after the killing of Osama bin Laden.
The other members of the Commission are the Chief Justices of the Islamabad High Court and the Sindh High Court.
The panel's first meeting to be held on Monday will be introductory in nature and will examine documents produced in the apex court during the hearing of the memo case.
The commission has been asked by the apex court to obtain the services of advocates and experts in forensic science and cyber crimes.
A blow
The Supreme Court's decision to form the Commission came as a blow to the beleaguered Pakistan People's Party-led government, which had challenged the court's jurisdiction to hear the petitions seeking a probe into the memo scandal.
The government had contended that the probe into the memo issue should be left to the Parliamentary Committee on National Security.
However, the chiefs of the Army and the ISI had urged the court to order an independent inquiry, saying the memo had affected national security.
The PPP-led government was thrown into a crisis when Mr.Mansoor Ijaz first revealed details of the memo in an article written in the Financial Times on October 10.
Analysts have noted that the apex court had ensured that all members and support staff of the commission were drawn from the judiciary and said this was a move aimed at insulating the panel from possible interference by the government.

In the sixties and seventies, transplanted Houstonian Donald Barthelme made a splash in the New York literary world with short stories and novels like Snow White and The Dead Father. With Hiding Man, one of his former students—now a distinguished professor of English and creative writing at Oregon State University—presents the first biography of one of the twentieth century's most quietly influential writers.
We don't expect our artists and writers to be especially virtuous. Where did Donald Barthelme land on the scale of saintliness?
Don wrote a story called "The Temptation of St. Anthony" in which the narrator says, "[His] major temptation … was perhaps this: ordinary life." Don found much of ordinary life tedious, in ways that challenged his courtly Texas temperament. Don married four times. Some will shout, "No saint he!" Others will insist his doggedness indicates a sweet -natured and indomitable optimism. I lean toward the latter view, but that probably says more about me than about Don.
You were a student of Barthelme's. How did that relationship affect your role as biographer?
I kept thinking, "If Don were here, he'd slap me upside the head." Not because he wouldn't want me telling tales on him—he had a healthy respect for biographies—but because, as a teacher, he'd insist I was misplacing my energies, devoting too much time to the wrong subject (him). Don was quite modest, in a quietly confident way. I backed into this project after learning that a proposed book on Don, by a professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, had fallen through. I knew I had a lot to say about Don's writing, and I felt I had some insights into how he turned experience into fiction. Initially, I worried about my ability to be objective, and I fretted about displeasing his family, some of whom I know and like a great deal. Eventually, I overcame these concerns by remembering Don's respect for work. He once gave me the first volume of Robert Caro's biography of LBJ because he admired it and thought I could learn from it. I kept in mind that this project was not about me, or the family, or about what anyone else wanted—it was about Don. His achievement had earned serious consideration, and that's what I tried to give him.
Talk a little about Barthelme's works in context of their era.
Don's work began appearing regularly in the New Yorker in the early sixties, and it's astonishing that such quirky fiction—absurd, abstract, sometimes surreal—was accepted into the mainstream. Don's off-kilter view of the world was right in step with the times, owing much to the black humor of post—World War II novelists like Heller and Mailer and comedians like Sahl and Bruce, as well as to existential philosophy. His material was risky (and risqué) for a slick, weekly American magazine. Mistakenly, I think, Don got pegged as a member of the sixties counterculture. He was hardly countercultural; he was "cultural" in the strictest sense—that is, in trying to move the culture forward with his art.
Did the countercultural tag affect his work?
I don't believe so. His first novel, Snow White, explores the situation of a woman living with several men, and some interviewers at the time wondered if Don had experimented with sixties-style communal living. He had to insist that he didn't. In writing the novel, he was more interested in plumbing the limits of fairy tales and myths than in alternative lifestyles.
Why do you think younger writers are rediscovering him?
Toward the end of his life, Don noted that his generation of writers expected life to be "magical" and tried to make it so by writing in highly imaginative styles. He felt the generation following his had lower expectations, and this was reflected in a return to bare-bones realism in fiction. These days, as the economy crashes and opportunities constrict all around us, perhaps we're longing for magic again.
Was his writing affected by his never-ending moves between Houston and New York?
In the summer of 1984, I flew from Houston to New York to visit him, and I saw a very different Don there than I'd witnessed in Texas. He loved to walk, to be among bustling humanity on the streets, a very hard thing to do in car-centric Houston. On the streets of Manhattan—among various body types, ages, accents, architectural styles, building eras, immigrant artifacts, foods, smells, colors—you know you're part of a living, breathing collage, and you want to celebrate it! This is the essence of much of Don's writing. What many critics call his absurdity is merely reportage: portraits of city life. All this aside, with some reservations he loved Houston. He returned there in the eighties. He was in a marriage there that was good for him, and he was raising a young daughter in a place he knew was safer than New York. His late stories reflect these concerns, these contentments and worries, and they are richer for it.
Talk a little about Barthelme's involvement with the art world.
Just as some architects and certain kinds of painters are drawn to the materials of their craft, Don was drawn to language—not as a tool to represent the world, but as an object in and of itself, a plastic medium, like a sculptor's lump of clay, or a series of found objects (car bumpers, cardboard boxes, cast-off shoes) to be glued together to make something that never existed before.
Do you have a particular favorite among Barthelme's works?
The Dead Father, written in midcareer, sums up Don's early preoccupations—an emphasis on style and recasting old myths—and anticipates what was to come in the later work—sparkling dialogues, a more wistful tone—and therefore remains a signature work. My favorite of the story collections is 1970's City Life, which shows Don inventing at full pitch, with a stunning variety of subjects and story structures.
Where will scholars rank Donald Barthelme when they re-assess twentieth-century fiction?
It's a literary period that deserves more serious scrutiny. Often among scholars, as among general readers, there's an unwarranted bias against short stories—they're not

US NTSB investigators say Northwest Airlines mechanics diverted their attention from engine maintenance on an Airbus A319 on 9 January, resulting in the in-flight departure of an engine cowling.
Flight attendants on Northwest Flight 853, carrying 68 passengers and five crew from LaGuardia to Detroit, alerted the pilots on climbout that a passenger had reported that "the number two engine (right side) cowling was flapping after takeoff", according to the NTSB final accident report, issued Monday.
Pilots continued the flight, while monitoring the engine for vibration, according to the report. Vibration levels for the suspect engine were twice the levels of the normal engine during climbout, the crew stated, but did not trip the aircraft's alerting system.
NTSB reports that the flight was then otherwise normal except for an event 20 minutes into cruise, when the aircraft "shuddered", pilots stated.
After an uneventful landing, flight attendants informed the pilots that "part of the right engine had come off", according to the report.
NTSB determined that half of the engine cowl had departed the aircraft when it was on a one-mile final for landing, substantially damaging the right horizontal stabilizer. The other half fell off when the aircraft touched down.
Also damaged were the fan cowl doors, right side engine pylon, thrust reverser and right wing "number one" slat.
In addition, the aircraft that landed behind Northwest 853 hit the cowling on the runway, though the NTSB does not state whether that aircraft was damaged.
Investigators found that Northwest "contract maintenance personnel" had changed an N1 engine sensor in the incident engine the previous evening and failed to latch the cowl when finished, as required by the maintenance manual.
Mechanics stated that they were called upon for help from another mechanic on a different aircraft during the final portions of the work diverting their attention. Each had thought the other had latched the cowl, according to the NTSB.
Responding to the report, Northwest in a statement says: "Northwest has a sterling safety record. Safety is our top priority and while this incident was unfortunate, at no time was the safety of our passengers compromised."

TW Review of new Luxilon 4G string --Good as Gold

The truth is that there is very little difference in power between different racquet models. A little more difference in strings, but only when comparing completely different materials, like natural gut vs. poly or kevlar. The difference between one copoly string and another, in terms of actual speed of shot, is very small, less than 1 mph.
All this talk of power originated with the racquet and string manufacturers, who have to have something with which to lure in buyers. But it's mostly BS.
When people talk about power differences between strings or racquets they are really discussing actual power - ball speed - but also the angle at which the ball comes off the strings (which is the primary determinate of depth), as well as the feel of impact and how quickly the ball leaves the strings (dwell time).
The problem is that we're not equipped, as humans, to separate the actual from the perceptual. When someone says such and such a string is more powerful than another what they are actually saying is that such and such a string seemed more powerful to them. Another player might have the opposite experience. And neither of them really know for sure.
This forum is sustained by babbling about string "power", so you can expect some nasty responses to this post. But just pick a string that feels good and allows you to hit the shots you want and try not to get caught up in illusions of powerful equipment.
You say there is very little difference in power in different racket models? How did you determine this? By some lab tests or from seeing the difference when on the court.
When trying different rackets it sure seems like there are some pretty big differences in power levels. You maybe right that a lot of it has to do with the trajectory, but there is definitely a pretty big difference in the power levels I have experienced when trying different frames.
I was using a blx 90 asian version racket last year and am now using a prince rebel 98 and when both are strung the same there is a big difference in the power levels. The 90 if struck just right can still produce some very good power and on some shots maybe even more, but on the average rally shots there is a big difference.
The speed and trajectory is less with the 90 and if you are a little off or lazy it produces a much weaker shot. I didn't know how much until I got used to the prince and then went back to try my 90 after not using it for a month and it was amazing how much shorter and weaker my shots were after getting used to the rebel.
As far as different poly strings having a big difference in power I would say I have found that to be more true than the difference in rackets. But I would still say that there is a noticeable difference. With my new prince I have tried a lot of different full poly set ups. When I tried luxilon bb ace which is a string I really like and played very nice in my old stick it turned into a rocket launcher on the prince.
I had to go to thicker lower powered 16 gauge polys like dunlop black widow to tone the power down. Maybe lab tests don't show that big of a difference but actually hitting the ball sure does.
