Wes Welker is a damn-good player and certainly deserves to rock a red jacket alongside his fellow Patriots legends when his playing days are all said and done.
He's spun out some incredible performances in his days as a Patriot — both good and bad, and both on and off the field.
The scrappy slot receiver will be remembered for his courage and toughness as well as his likable personality and fiery attitude He's the owner of many Patriots and league records that will probably stand for many, many years.
But what are some of Welker's most memorable moments as a Patriot? Which specific moments stand out the most to you? Check out the list below.

ISLE OF WIGHT -- Ice roads caused 40 vehicle crashes between 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and 8 a.m. Thursday in Isle of Wight.
Officials say some accidents involved multiple vehicles while others involved single cars or trucks sliding into ditches or off the roads.
Most accidents were relatively minor. However, two victims were taken to the hospital after their vehicles crashed on Rt. 258 near Smithfield Glass.
Officials say 14 Sheriff's units worked the many crashes with much-needed assistance from the Virginia State Police, Smithfield Police Department and Windsor Police Department.

Nick Foles practiced with the first team this week and stuck around for extra film work. He's ready to make his first career NFL start for the Philadelphia Eagles. All he needs now is to officially and publicly be named the starter. The Eagles again practiced another day without injured quarterback Michael Vick. The veteran has sat out since suffering a severe concussion in last week's loss to Dallas, turning playcalling duties over to Foles, a third-round draft pick. Foles relieved Vick against the Cowboys and is ready to start Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Because Vick had not completed his concussion testing, he has not officially been ruled out of Sunday's game. That could come Friday when coach Andy Reid talks to the media after practice. Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg sounded like a coach who knew he'd be tightening the playbook for the rookie. ''He will see some things that he hasn't seen before, and how he reacts to those things will be key,'' M...

Date — 16 January, 2012
More than 70 years after its maiden flight and 10 years after a greatly publicized relaunch, the Big Pilot's Watch finally enters the jet age in 2012 thanks to the TOP GUN line. The Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN Miramar reminds us of those magnificent men in their legendary flying suits.
Designed by IWC for professional pilots back in 1940, the Big Pilot's Watch came with an original pocket watch movement and large central seconds. Together with the IWC Special Pilot's Watch and the Mark 11, it established the cockpit-style design that has remained to this day. The black dial of the certified observer's and deck watch came with a white chapter ring and arrowhead index at "12 o'clock", striking luminescent hands and big luminescent numerals. Its legibility was exemplary.
In 2002, the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer IWC revived its own Big Pilot's Watch heritage. The enormous timepiece created quite a stir, and unmistakably drew on its historic forebear with the 52 T. S. C. pocket watch calibre. Its classical design and the efficient movement with a 7-day power reserve and Pellaton automatic winding combine the tradition and innovation typical of IWC in the production of professional pilot's watches.
Haute Horlogerie and high-tech materials
Haute Horlogerie and high-tech materials
In 2012, yet another Big Pilot's Watch will be taking its place among the other IWC giants: the Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN (Ref. 501901) in its ceramic case. It offers a more contemporary take on functionality with new materials and design elements. The clearly arranged dial with the striking black-and-white contrast remains, as do the power reserve and date displays. The most conspicuous addition to the popular cockpit look of the design is the small, signal red aircraft silhouette that serves as a counterpoise on the seconds hand and has established itself as one of the distinctive features of the TOP GUN line. Also typical of the TOP GUN are the high-tech materials: first, zirconium oxide, the tough, hard-wearing and scratch-resistant ceramic used for the case, which is water-resistant to 6 bar. Then there's the extremely rugged titanium used for the crown. And finally the black soft strap used to secure the 48-millimetre case securely and comfortably to the wearer's wrist.
The 51111 calibre is one of the largest automatic movements manufactured by IWC and, with its patented pawl-winding system, builds up a 7-day power reserve in virtually no time. But the power reserve mechanism is smart and allows it to run for only 168 hours before stopping the movement. This way, it is certain that the watch will keep perfect time for 7 days when it is fully wound. On the front, the sapphire glass has antireflective coating on both sides and is secured against sudden drops in pressure. And on the reverse side of the watch, the Top Gun insignia explains why: this watch has earned "airworthy" status.
Tribute to a legend
With identical specifications, the Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN Miramar (Ref. 501902) is a tribute to the original Marine Corps Top Gun flight school in Miramar, California. It was from here that the reputation of the ultra-cool elite pilots in their even cooler flight gear spread all over the world. The new Miramar line picks up on elements of the military design. The shimmering metallic ceramic case and the anthracite-coloured dial lean on the typical colour and material repertoire as do the hands and chapter ring in beige and the green textile strap. The separate depiction of the minutes in the outer ring and the hours on a smaller inner ring is reminiscent of the deck watches of the 1930s and 1940s. Back then, the aircraft's position and flight time were determined with the aid of octants and deck watches.
The Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN Miramar is one of the very best of its kind. A claim underscored by the elaborate Top Gun engraving on the titanium case back.

I purchased this jacket because I've wanted it for a while and couldn't pass up on this amazing price! I normally wear a woman's XS and decided to give a girls XL a try. It fits perfect, it's just the right size and it's light weight enough to put a sweatshirt underneath. I can't wait for fall to come so I can wear it! This item is a must have, and I'm extremely happy that I purchased it!

It has been a season to forget to this point for Mississippi State first-year basketball head coach Rick Ray.
Ray and the Bulldogs have had to battle several injuries this season, including injuries to the top returning players.
Shamia Robinson was not slated to get any minutes Thursday night for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
It was a good thing she did.
Robinson logged a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds in 19 minutes to lead the MSU women's basketball beat Jacksonville State 69-54 inside Humphrey Coliseum.
The respect that Starkville High School defensive back Jacoby Smith gained from opponents was especially on display in the Class 5A State championship game on Dec. 1.
As the Pascagoula Panthers were trying to move the football against the Yellowjackets, they wanted to keep going to the passing game.
What Pascagoula didn't want to do was challenge Smith.
Three of them made Colorado, Florida and Tennessee their destinations.
The other two are staying in Mississippi.
Five former members of the Starkville High School football team that signed with East Mississippi Community College two years ago now take the next step in their careers at four-year schools.
The Mississippi State football team is going to need some wide receivers and defensive backs in 2013.
On Wednesday, the Bulldogs got one of each, courtesy of the junior college ranks.
Defensive back Justin Cox and wide receiver Jeremy Chappelle both signed with MSU.
Both had committed to the Bulldogs earlier this month, but made it official on Wednesday.
Starkville High's football team, cheerleaders and band flocked the streets of Starkville on Tuesday for a parade celebrating its recent Class 5A State championship.
Starting in the parking lot of Starkville Daily News, the parade headed along North Jackson, before turning onto Main Street and continuing along its route where it ended upon the steps of the Greensboro Center.
Starkville Academy guard Carnail Minor knows basketball.
Having grown up around the sport, the Volunteer understands the game better than most athletes well beyond his years. That knowledge of the game is just one of the many things that leads Starkville Academy coach Mark Alexander to call Minor a "joy to watch."
The signs are pointing to Christmas being near.
Sure, it's easy to notice the lights and the trees are going up everywhere and the presents are starting to appear.
All of that helps in the anticipation of the season, but there's an extra treat this time of the year for the local sports fan.
The number nine doesn't look the same to Alex Thompson as it did three years ago.
When Thompson began working with the boys basketball team at Starkville Christian School, nine represented the losses for his junior varsity Cougars the first year.
Things have changed since that time.
For Mississippi State there are two phases to a bowl practices.
The first phase is getting the younger guys some reps and getting the veterans a break.
Sunday the first phase ended.
The Bulldogs capped off the first phase with a scrimmage inside the Palmeiro Center due to the rain.

'Inside Llewyn Davis' All-Stars Honor Greenwich Village Heyday
Marcus Mumford performs with Oscar Isaac and the Punch Brothers during Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of 'Inside Llewyn Davis' in New York City.
At New York City's Town Hall on Sunday night, Patti Smith had the best line of the night. Glancing at a chorus line of musicians behind her, Smith admitted, "I don't even know who they are, half of them." The audience laughed, and Smith courteously added, "But I'm pleased to see them." With that, Smith and her semi-mystery guests – which included her son Jackson and members of the Avett Brothers and the progressive bluegrass band the Punch Brothers – launched into a stomping, hootenanny makeover of her modern-day empowerment song, "People Have the Power."
The 10 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs
"Another Day, Another Time," a multi-act concert pegged to the release of Joel and Ethan Coen's upcoming film Inside Llewyn Davis, was that kind of night: a bustling salute to the sounds and the idea of Sixties folk music that, despite a little fuzziness around the edges, ultimately delivered on its promise. Organized by the movie's soundtrack co-producer, T Bone Burnett, the concert featured the stars of that movie, a roman à clef inspired by the late Village folk god Dave Van Ronk's memoir The Mayor of MacDougal Street. They were joined by genre legend Joan Baez, one modern-day troubadour affiliated with the movie (Marcus Mumford) and one who isn't (Gillian Welch), and indie-rock types with an affinity for unplugged instruments (Jack White, Conor Oberst, the Decemberists' Colin Meloy).
Some of the songs performed during the show can be heard in the movie, but just as many weren't. Some, like Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds" or Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind," were written during the Village's folkie heyday, while others were written decades later. The concert was akin to one of those soundtrack albums filled with songs "inspired by," but not actually in, a certain movie.
From the start, "Another Day, Another Time" grappled with a basic quandary: What is folk music two decades into the 21st century, and how should it be presented? The show opened with the nattily dressed Punch Brothers doing the Thirties cowboy anthem "Tumbling Tumbleweeds." Between that song and Town Hall's red-draped stage, the feel was more Prairie Home Companion than Gerde's Folk City. Intentionally or not, moments like that evoked the time in the late Fifties and early Sixties when folk music graduated from clubs to concert halls – and tried, with varying degrees of success, to retain its intimacy and power in bigger, more commercialized settings.
Some of the performances that followed the Punch Brothers' stayed crisply true to the idea of folk music, with nary an electric instrument and plenty of onstage denim. Yet they also raised questions: Should modern folk be something traditional, and therefore authentic? Or can it incorporate recent songs like the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends" (given a charming stripped-down arrangement by White and a small bluegrass ensemble) or the Avett Brothers' "Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise"?

text: A quick option for disposable paint palettes is most likely right in your kitchen! This option is perfect for acrylic painting. Try using household aluminum foil wrapped on a tray or plate next time you paint. When you are ready for cleanup, simply discard the used foil and voilá! This saves time on cleanup and cuts down on washing paint in the sink. Another great resource is to use an old magazine cover. The glossy layer on the pages won't absorb the paint, and when you are done with painting for the day you can let it dry, turn it over and use the other side.

I decided to give this a full 30 days before I wrote a review, and most importantly, waited to see what happened during "That Time of The Month".
I am amazed. I have had issues with cystic acne for the last 6-7 years. Every month I get one or two during my PMS time. I got one small one this past month, it was nothing like previous months and it disappeared within a few days, instead of 2 or so weeks. I will also credit healthier eating because cystic acne is internal as well as external, but I know these products assisted. My pores are dramatically smaller and I can just feel my skin getting tighter.
I have finally found a company that offers me quality products and without all the crazy amounts of chemicals that make my skin feel like it is burning off.
I wish I could upload a before and after photo, the fact that I can get away without wearing foundation every day now, should tell you something. Get this product and use it daily to see results!!!
I have oily skin which from time to time succumbs to break outs. Recently, I had a horrible break out of itchy, patchy, acne-like bumps which I've never had before. I tried all my usual face washes and products to clear up my skin and nothing worked. I went out on a limb and ordered this kit. I figured something without the harsh chemicals might help since all the other washes were drying out my skin. These products are like a miracle! My skin which was really bad for a week cleared up in about 1-2 days after following the direction and using the wash, then the serum, then the moisturizer.5
I got the face wash in a sample box and was not impressed, I finished the sample and had to buy it. It is not the best smelling but with out this wash my face was not as happy! I am now using the full line and am I loving everything about it, well other than the smell. (which once you get used to it, it is not so bad) If you have the occasional break outs and are as tired of them as I am, this is the product for you!! Nice clean and fresh looking face every single day!!!!5
My skin has been very different since I had a baby; much drier than before but still with clogged pores. I received a sample of the cleanser in my birchbox and this set allowed me to test out the regimen before committing to full size bottles since I have no idea what's great for me right now. I love how fresh my skin feels when I use it rather than it feeling stripped like some cleansers can. The serum and moisturizer were great, though the moisturizer was a bit heavy for everyday use so I chose to use it only at night. The fact that you can easily read and identify every ingredient in it is also a major plus to me.4
I am 35 and have recently been breaking out. I bought this kit and it completely changed my skin.. My skin is clear and radiant. My pores are also half the size that they were. Since purchasing this kit, I have bought all of the items in full size and I am so happy to have found the cure for my touchy skin.5
I have been looking for new facial products for a while. My skin never broke out until my mid-twenties. I love that this product is completely organic. I was hesitant because some of the other reviews said that it was sticky, but I do not find it to be so. I love the moisturizer, and the skin clearing serum. After a week, my skin feels and looks completely healthier! I have not tried the peel yet. I use this product in the morning, and a different product in the evening. It does not take much of the moisturizer to cover your face, I made a mistake the first time, and used a normal amount and had to extend to my entire neck to not waste it. I did find that the first couple of days, I had a couple of pimples pop up, but that is typical for me when trying a new product, they have now dissipated. My skin has a glow to it, that it has not had in years, and I completely attribute it to these products!5

Gun Control: Where Do Stars Stand on Firearms?

"Thirty or 40 years ago, particularly men, and even young men, when they were suicidal, they went, and unfortunately, blew their brains out," Tom Selleck, a NRA board member and avid gun collector, said on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. "In today's world, someone who is suicidal sits home, nurses their grievance, develops a rage, and is just as suicidal but they take 20 people with them."

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is great fun, but it doesn't last.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a video game developed by Raven Software, the same people that brought us X-Men: Legends I & II, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (They like colons). They've certainly established themselves as one of (if not the) top comic book game developers, but what about a game about one of the most popular, and arguably most ridiculously bad ass Marvel characters of all time? I couldn't help but investigate this personally.
Let's start with Raven's biggest selling point for this game: the graphic, gratuitous violence. It's in there. There's no doubt about it, "violent" is a word I would use to describe this game. You can amputate, decapitate, and otherwise obliterate anyone or anything that stands in your way. You're often able to use environmental hazards, or an enemy's weapon against them, in very satisfying ways. Even Wolverine gets in on the action, and gets beaten, hacked, shot, and blown to bits. The main reason I wanted to play this game so bad was because of the insanely ridiculous level of violence. I played the demo three times in a row, and then giggled excitedly as I interrupted my fiancée and her maid of honor's wedding planning session to tell them about how I just sliced a dude in half from the neck down. Raven wanted to make a game that lived up to the character's brutally violent nature (even though the movie didn't), and I'd say they succeeded. The violence is the BEST part of Wolverine.
That being said, it's not perfect. For the majority of your foes there are only about 5 or 6 different quick kills (The flashiest and generally most violent choice for dispatching your enemies), and you'll easily go through most of them in the first chapter. There are some different ones for some of the specialized enemies, but those get old pretty quick too. You'll be slicing off a lot of limbs, but that is only really exciting for the first 10 minutes or so because, there's nothing special about it if it's happening to every other enemy you fight. Another one of the big features of the game is Wolverine's ability to get ripped (literally) to shreds, and then regenerate within a short amount of time. This is especially fun later in the game when you can have your ribs exposed, and still have close to full health. Side note: If a dude comes charging at you with his ribs, and organs exposed, you might want to move. I really liked this feature, but unfortunately, it doesn't look great. The blood looks too reflective, and sticks to his body in a weird way. His insides look less like organs, and more like raspberry jam. Worst of all, while he's healing, sometimes his skin grows back slightly quicker than his insides, which makes it look more like a shell, than actual flesh. I can't really fault them for not having skin that hangs loosely on him, but it would certainly have worked better if they had changed the animation so that his muscle healed back completely before his skin started. I still love that you can run around with huge chunks of Wolverine missing; I just wish it looked better when you zoomed in.
I might not be so bothered by little things like Wolverine's jelly-esque innards if the game didn't look so good otherwise. Especially the outdoor levels, which offer some pretty nice views from time to time. I wouldn't call the graphics "mind-blowing", or "breathtaking", or anything silly like that, but you can tell a lot of time was spent on making the game pretty while you slice dudes up. But then you get to the first in-engine cut scene. I'm talking about the one on the boat with the big ass machine gun. It just looks awful in comparison. It looks low rez, and fuzzy, and honestly un-rendered. It feels like I'm watching an early demo. They all look the same. It just looks cheap. I guess it's not so disappointing since the acting, and the storytelling are pretty awful anyway. It just leaves me wondering what they did in all that time they were "polishing" the game.
The main plot of Wolverine very loosely follows the plot of the movie, as well as adding a lot of new stuff. It seems like they may have tried to keep some of their original material, but I'm only guessing. There's more than one issue with the story, but as a whole it just seems like a means to move ahead. You don't ever really care about any of the characters because you barely spend any time with any of them. On top of that, unless you've seen the movie, or are familiar with the comics, it can be hard to figure out who some of the characters are. The plot doesn't take a back seat to the action, it's not even in the car.
I do wish Raven had done a better job with the story, but in the end you can see where their focus was. I think they understood that most people who want to play a Wolverine game aren't looking for drama, character development, or a deep, moving love story. They just want to cut some dudes up into little tiny pieces (myself included). It's easy to focus on the bad in this game, but it's also really hard to forget about the good.
This game is a blast. Sure the cut scenes were pretty lame, and the story sucked. I sighed, or cringed every time someone started talking, but all was forgotten when I got back in control. It doesn't get much better than the sheer level of violence you're exposed to throughout the 10 hours (give or take) it takes to complete it. A basic, but rewarding experience system along with collectable power-ups, un-lockable suits, and an un-lockable hard mode help to keep the game interesting. The ultimate satisfaction comes from going back through the earlier levels with a powered up, bad ass Wolverine. That's where you get the true Wolverine experience. You're practically invincible, and it feels great.
Wolverine is definitely fun to play, and it stays fresh for a good amount of time, but that initial feeling of "Awesomeness" will likely wear off pretty early on. About half way through the game, you'll have fought just about everything, and what's left won't offer much variety. You only get 4 powers, and I only really liked 2 of them, but even then I never really needed to use them. The game starts to get more and more tedious as it goes on, and at some points it's just downright annoying. I can remember one part where I had to jump from one hanging rope, to another, then another, and then another, and then a ledge below. Sounds simple, right? I had to try 10 times before finally getting it right, and each time I had to wait 15 seconds for the checkpoint to load. There were points in the game where I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing. It all just got more frustrating by the end. I just wanted to go back to that first chapter, and go back to that original feeling.
In the end, I'd say X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a step in the right direction for movie games. It's definitely a higher caliber than the ones we've seen in the past, but we've still got a long way to go. It's amazing for the first half of the game, but it eventually becomes far too repetitive to stay interesting for multiple play throughs. Definitely worth a rent, but I wouldn't buy it for more than $20.

Concert review: Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra takes huge strides forward
Published on Apr 14, 2014 12:10 PM
Curious fact: The Singaporean who has had the most concertos performed this millennium is Bernard Tan, a National University of Singapore physics professor who composes in his free time. Following the first performances of his Piano Concerto (2002), Violin Concerto (2006) and Guitar Concerto (2013) by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, his Cello Concerto received its world premiere on Sunday at the School of the Arts.
It was performed by dedicatee Noella Yan with the Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra conducted by Adrian Tan.
Yan is a Singaporean cellist residing in Australia, and daughter of the orchestra's founding conductor Yan Yin Wing. This concerto marked her return to Singapore and to performing after a lay-off to look after two young sons. Any concessions to technical ability were dispensed with in this demanding work that called for utmost concentration and no little agility.
In a way, Bernard Tan resembles the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian in that he uses a few simple themes of local and ethnological flavour and works these exhaustively in a show of soloistic exuberance. The opening movement balanced a repetitive scherzo-like first motif with a lyrical second subject of Asian origin, while the central slow movement was a seamless Chinese melody of Tan's own device. Here, Yan's cantabile playing, full-voiced yet never cloying, invitingly came to the fore.

'The good fight'
popular .
HEALTH ADVOCATES rejoiced this week with the expeditious passage of the "sin tax" bill in the Senate. President Aquino had earlier certified it as an urgent bill due to "public necessity" to curb harmful cigarette and excessive alcohol consumption.
The bill has found a champion in the Senate in Sen. Franklin Drilon. Immediately after he had taken over as chair of the ways and means committee, he and his staff had worked overtime to give form and substance to the substitute bill he proposed. "I am willing to do the hard work and willing to do the fight because this is the good fight," he told a gathering of doctors and healthcare professionals at the Philippine General Hospital last week.
During the event, more than 20 medical and healthcare organizations gathered at the PGH to call on the Senate to stop delaying the passage of the lifesaving bill last Nov. 15. The Senate approved it on final reading on Nov. 20.
Final battlefront
The bill's fate now depends on the bicameral conference committee, which is the final battlefront, or the third war, as Action for Economic Reforms (AER) coordinator Filomeno Sta. Ana metaphorically described it. "We won the war in the House. We won the war in the Senate. We have to win the war in the bicam. The bicam is the third chamber," he said.
There's some disparity between the target revenues proposed by both Houses, with the Senate version higher by P8.5 billion over the House version of the bill. The tax revenues in the House version is estimated to increase by 30 percent over a four-year period, with highest of P40.2 billion, while the Senate version projects a 63-percent increase within four years, peaking at P64.4 billion.
Prevent deaths
We hope the higher version prevails because we're not talking here about revenues alone. This also translates to a likely number of lives which would be saved annually because of the reduction of the smoking rate, especially among the young. The measure is estimated to prevent 70,000 deaths a year and help subsidize the healthcare of almost a third of our population who are considered poor and unable to afford a decent healthcare.
I think the health objective of the battle has been achieved already. The financial aspect is likewise important, but actual lives which would be saved matter more.
When the bill is finally enacted into a law, the Philippines can now give the heads-up sign that it's complying with its commitment as one of the more than 140 state-signatories to the United Nations-WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). As a State Party to the FCTC, the Philippines has pledged to integrate tobacco-control policies and measures into our national health and development strategies and programs. The future sin tax law will be a meaningful compliance of this commitment, which of course, is for our own people's sake.
A setting for debacles
Although the fate of the "sin tax" bill is relatively clearer and brighter at this point, it is no reason for our health advocates to let their guard down. It seems like a won game, but it's not over till it's over. The bicam can still be a setting for debacles for those who fail to be vigilant. And I'm sure the AER and other health advocates know this very well.
It's fair to expect the House version of the bill to be the worst-case scenario and the Senate version to be the best-case scenario, provided no other drastically negative amendments are inserted.
We just have to trust the bicam members on this since it's a closed-door conference. It's likely, considering next year's elections, that "political considerations" would come into play, but we hope all the bicam members, especially the ones running for reelection, will rise above this and vote according to their conscience.
Let's all pray that the bicam members will set aside all vested interests, and have the people's best interest in mind when they decide on the final form of the bill.

Town workers rescued a flock of ducklings that fell into a storm drain on Monday morning in Danvers.
Someone saw a mother duck quacking away near a storm drain on Rte. 1 and called for help. Firefighters and the town's Department of Public Works responded to the scene.
A public works foreman was able to climb down into the drain and get them out with a pool skimmer borrowed from the Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies nearby.

UK hacking prosecutor: Brooks, Coulson had affair
FILE - This combination of Monday, Oct. 28, 2013 file photos shows former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks and husband Charlie Brooks, left image, and former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as they arrive at The Old Bailey law court in London. On Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013, a prosecutor in Britain's phone hacking trial revealed that Rebekah Brooks and Coulson — the two most senior U.K. tabloid editors accused of illegal eavesdropping and bribery — had a secret affair lasting at least six years.

LONDON (AP) — A prosecutor electrified Britain's phone hacking trial Thursday by revealing that Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson — the two most senior U.K. tabloid editors accused of illegal eavesdropping and bribery — had a secret affair lasting at least six years.
Prosecutor Andrew Edis said the relationship between the two powerful editors — both former top Rupert Murdoch aides and associates of Prime Minister David Cameron — goes to the heart of the case's key question: Who knew what during years of illicit activity at Murdoch's News of the World and Sun tabloids?
The fact they had an affair and kept it secret "means they trusted each other a lot," Edis said. He said there was "absolute confidence between the two of them" about issues at their work.
Rebekah Brooks and her husband Charlie Brooks arrive at The Old Bailey law court in London, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013. Former News of the World national newspaper editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson went on trial Monday, along with several others, on charges relating to the hacking of phones and bribing officials while they were employed at the now closed tabloid paper. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
"Through the relevant period, what Mr. Coulson knew Mrs. Brooks knew too, and what Mrs. Brooks knew Mr. Coulson knew too, because it's clear ... that as at February 2004 they had been having an affair which had lasted at least six years," he said.
The two enjoyed close ties to Britain's media and political elite. Brooks has been friends with Cameron and Coulson served as his communications director before and after Cameron's election as prime minister in 2010.
Edis said their affair started in about 1998 and covered the period when Brooks was News of the World editor and Coulson her deputy — including the period in 2002 when the newspaper hacked into the phone of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who was later found murdered.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene.
This past Saturday night, the final steamed lobster was served at Riverbay, a longtime seafood destination on Willis Avenue in Williston Park. The restaurant is now part of local history.
Riverbays owner, Dean Poll, who also owns The Boathouse in Central Park, said he is currently too busy in Manhattan to think about reprising Riverbay elsewhere, but, he added, If I found the right property, I would consider it.
Poll has leased the property to TD Bank, which will open a branch with a drive-through lane. Maybe we could open a fast food window there, he quipped.
Grab a lobster roll while you make a cash withdrawal? Poll may be onto something.

"Mr. Tambourine Man" is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan, which was released on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The Byrds also recorded a version of the song that was released as their first single on Columbia Records, reaching number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, as well as being the title track of their first album, Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success.
This song has been covered by many artists, including Judy Collins, Odetta, Melanie, and William Shatner. The song's popularity led to Dylan recording it live many times, and it has been included in multiple Dylan and Byrds compilation albums. It has been translated into other languages, and has been used or referenced in television shows, films and books.
The song has a bright, expansive melody and has become famous in particular for its surrealistic imagery, influenced by artists as diverse as French poet Arthur Rimbaud and Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini. The lyrics call on the title character to play a song and the narrator will follow. Interpretations of the lyrics have included a paean to drugs such as LSD, a call to the singer's muse, a reflection of the audience's demands on the singer, and religious interpretations. Dylan sings the song in four verses, only one of which was used for The Byrds' recording. Dylan's and The Byrds' versions have appeared on various lists ranking the greatest songs of all time, including an appearance by both on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 best songs ever. Both versions also received Grammy Hall of Fame Awards.
"Mr. Tambourine Man" was written in early 1964, about the same time as "Chimes of Freedom", which Dylan recorded later that spring for his album Another Side of Bob Dylan.[1][2] Dylan began writing "Mr. Tambourine Man" in February 1964, after attending Mardi Gras in New Orleans during a cross-country road trip with several friends, and completed it sometime between mid-March and late April after returning to New York.[1] Nigel Williamson has suggested in The Rough Guide to Bob Dylan that the influence of Mardi Gras can be heard in the swirling and fanciful imagery of the song's lyrics.[3] Journalist Al Aronowitz has claimed that Dylan completed the song at his home, but folk singer Judy Collins (who later covered the song) has stated that Dylan completed the song at her home.[1] Dylan premiered the song the following month at a May 17 concert at London's Royal Festival Hall.[1]
Dylan first recorded "Mr. Tambourine Man" a few weeks later, on June 9, with Tom Wilson producing, during the Another Side of Bob Dylan session.[1][4] The take, recorded with Ramblin' Jack Elliott, was cut from the album because Dylan felt the song was special and their performance did not do it justice.[1] Sometime that month he also recorded a publisher demo of the song at Witmark Music.[5] More than six months passed before Dylan re-recorded the song, again with Wilson in the producer's chair, during the final Bringing It All Back Home session on January 15, 1965, the same day that "Gates of Eden", "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" were recorded.[1][6] It was long thought that the four songs were each recorded in one long take.[7] However, in the biography Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades, Clinton Heylin relates that the song required six attempts, possibly because of difficulties in working out the playoffs between Dylan's acoustic guitar and Bruce Langhorne's electric lead.[1] The final take was selected for the album, which was released on March 22, 1965.[1][7]
In his book Keys to the Rain: The Definitive Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, Oliver Trager describes "Mr. Tambourine Man" as having a bright, expansive melody,[8] with Langhorne's electric guitar accompaniment, which provides a countermelody to the vocals, being the only instrumentation besides Dylan's acoustic guitar and harmonica.[9] Author Wilfred Mellers has noted that although the song is in the key of D major, it is harmonized as if it were in a Lydian G major, giving the song a tonal ambiguity that enhances the dreamy quality of the melody.[10] Unusually, rather than beginning with the first verse, the song begins with an iteration of the chorus:[8]
William Ruhlmann, writing for the Allmusic website, has suggested the following interpretation of the song's lyrics: "The time seems to be early morning following a night when the narrator has not slept. Still unable to sleep, though amazed by his weariness, he is available and open to Mr. Tambourine Man's song, and says he will follow him. In the course of four verses studded with internal rhymes, he expounds on this situation, his meaning often heavily embroidered with imagery, though the desire to be freed by the tambourine man's song remains clear."[12]
There has been speculation that the song is about drugs such as LSD or marijuana, particularly with lines such as "take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship" and "the smoke rings of my mind."[1][2][9] However, Dylan has always denied the song is about drugs, and though he was using marijuana at the time the song was written, he was not introduced to LSD until a few months later.[1][2][13] Other commentators have interpreted the song as a call to the singer's spirit or muse, or the singer's search for transcendence.[2][13][14][15][16] In particular, biographer John Hinchey has suggested in his book Like a Complete Unknown that the singer is praying to his muse for inspiration; Hinchey notes that ironically the song itself is evidence the muse has already provided the sought-after inspiration.[14] Mr. Tambourine Man has also been interpreted as a symbol for Jesus Christ and for the Pied Piper of Hamelin.[12] The song may also reference gospel music, with Mr. Tambourine Man being the bringer of religious salvation.[16]
Dylan has cited the influence of Federico Fellini's movie La strada on the song,[8][17] while other commentators have found echoes of the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud.[1][18][19] However, author Howard Sounes has identified the lyrics "in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you" as having been taken from a Lord Buckley recording.[17] Bruce Langhorne, who performs guitar on the track, has been cited by Dylan as the inspiration for the tambourine man image in the song.[8] Langhorne used to play a giant, four-inch-deep "tambourine" (actually a Turkish frame drum), and had brought the instrument to a previous Dylan recording session.[1][9][20][21]
The Bringing it All Back Home version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was included on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits in 1967 and several later Dylan compilation albums, including Biograph, Masterpieces, and The Essential Bob Dylan.[12][22] The two June 1964 recordings, one with Ramblin' Jack Elliott and the other at Witmark Music, have been released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home and The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos 1962–1964, respectively.[12][23]
The song has been in Dylan's live concert repertoire ever since it was written,[8] and live performances have appeared on various concert albums and DVDs. A live performance at New York's Philharmonic Hall dating from October 31, 1964, appeared on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall.[12] At Dylan's appearance at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 1965, after he was heckled by acoustic folk music fans during his electric set, Dylan returned to play acoustic versions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue";[24][25] this performance of "Mr. Tambourine Man" is included in Murray Lerner's film The Other Side of the Mirror,[26] and in Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home.[27]
A live version from Dylan's famous May 17, 1966, concert in Manchester, England (popularly but mistakenly known as the Royal Albert Hall Concert) is included on The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert.[28] Dylan also played the song as part of his evening set at the August 1, 1971, Concert for Bangladesh, a benefit concert organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar. That performance is included on The Concert for Bangladesh album, although it was excluded from the film of the concert.[29] Another live version from the Rolling Thunder Revue tour of 1975 is on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue, and yet another live version from 1978 is on Bob Dylan at Budokan.[30][31]
"Mr. Tambourine Man" was the debut single by the American band The Byrds and was released on April 12, 1965 by Columbia Records.[32] The song was also the title track of the band's debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man, which was released on June 21, 1965.[33] The single, along with the album of the same name, was influential in originating the musical style known as folk rock, with the single becoming the first folk rock smash hit.[34][35] Indeed, the term "folk rock" was first coined by the U.S music press to describe the band's sound at around the same time as "Mr. Tambourine Man" peaked at number 1 on the Billboard chart.[36][37]
The single initiated the folk rock boom of 1965 and 1966, with many acts imitating the band's hybrid of a rock beat, jangly guitar playing and poetic or socially conscious lyrics.[12][38] This hybrid had its antecedents in the American folk revival of the early 1960s,[39] The Animals' rock-oriented recording of the folk song "The House of the Rising Sun",[40] the folk-influences present in the songwriting of The Beatles,[41] and the twelve-string guitar jangle of The Searchers and The Beatles' George Harrison.[42][43] However, it was The Byrds who first melded these disparate elements into a unified whole, creating a template for folk rock that would prove successful for many acts during the mid-1960s.[12][44]

Most of the members of The Byrds had a background in folk music,[35] since Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby had all worked as folk singers during the early 1960s.[45][46] They had also spent time, independently of each other, in various folk groups, including The New Christy Minstrels, The Limeliters, The Chad Mitchell Trio, and Les Baxter's Balladeers.[45][47][48][49] In early 1964, McGuinn, Clark and Crosby formed The Jet Set and started developing a fusion of folk-based lyrics and melodies, with arrangements in the style of The Beatles.[46][50] In August 1964, the band's manager Jim Dickson acquired an acetate disc of "Mr. Tambourine Man" from Dylan's publisher, featuring a performance by Dylan and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.[1][46][51] Although the band were initially unimpressed with the song, they eventually agreed to begin rehearsing and demoing it.[52][53] In an attempt to make it sound more like The Beatles, the band and Dickson elected to give the song a full, electric rock band treatment, effectively creating the musical subgenre of folk rock.[35][51][52] To further bolster the group's confidence in the song, Dickson invited Dylan to hear the band's rendition.[54] Dylan was impressed, enthusiastically commenting "Wow, you can dance to that!" and his endorsement erased any lingering doubts the band had about the song.[54] During this period, drummer Michael Clarke and bass player Chris Hillman joined,[46] and the band changed their name to The Byrds over Thanksgiving 1964.[51] The two surviving demos of "Mr. Tambourine Man" dating from this period feature an incongruous marching band drum part from Clarke but overall the arrangement, which utilized a 4/4 time signature instead of Dylan's 2/4 configuration, is very close to the later single version.[55][56]
The master take of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was recorded on January 20, 1965, at Columbia Studios in Hollywood, prior to the release of Dylan's own version.[57] The song's jangling, melodic guitar playing (performed by McGuinn on a 12-string Rickenbacker guitar) was immediately influential and has remained so to the present day.[51] The group's complex harmony work, as featured on "Mr. Tambourine Man", became another major characteristic of their sound.[58] Due to producer Terry Melcher's initial lack of confidence in The Byrds' musicianship, McGuinn was the only Byrd to play on "Mr. Tambourine Man" and its B-side, "I Knew I'd Want You".[51] Rather than using band members, Melcher hired The Wrecking Crew, a collection of top L.A. session musicians, who (with McGuinn on guitar) provided the backing track over which McGuinn, Crosby, and Clark sang.[59] By the time the sessions for their debut album began in March 1965, however, Melcher was satisfied that the band was competent enough to record its own musical backing.[35]
The Byrds' recording of the song opens with a distinctive, Bach-inspired guitar introduction played by McGuinn and then, like Dylan's version, goes into the song's chorus.[51] Although Dylan's version contains four verses, The Byrds only perform the song's second verse and two repeats of the chorus, followed by a variation on the song's introduction, which then fades out.[12] The Byrds' arrangement of the song had been shortened during the band's rehearsals at World Pacific Studios in 1964, at the suggestion of Jim Dickson, in order to accommodate commercial radio stations, which were reluctant to play songs that were over two-and-a-half minutes long.[51][52] Thus, while Dylan's version is five-and-a-half minutes long, The Byrds' runs just short of two-and-a-half minutes.[12] The lead vocal on The Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was sung by McGuinn, who attempted to modify his singing style to fill what he perceived as a gap in the popular music scene of the day, somewhere between the vocal sound of John Lennon and Bob Dylan.[51] The song also took on a spiritual aspect for McGuinn during the recording sessions, as he told The Byrds' biographer Johnny Rogan in 1997: "I was singing to God and I was saying that God was the Tambourine Man and I was saying to him, 'Hey, God, take me for a trip and I'll follow you.' It was a prayer of submission."[51]
The single reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, making it the first recording of a Dylan song to reach number 1 on any pop music chart.[60][61][62] Critic William Ruhlmann has argued that in the wake of "Mr. Tambourine Man", the influence of The Byrds could be heard in recordings by a number of other Los Angeles-based acts, including The Turtles, The Leaves, Barry McGuire, and Sonny & Cher.[12] In addition, author and music historian Richie Unterberger sees the influence of The Byrds in recordings by The Lovin' Spoonful, The Mamas & the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, and Love,[44][63] while author John Einarson has noted that both The Grass Roots and We Five enjoyed commercial success by emulating The Byrds' folk rock sound.[64] In addition, a number of commentators, including Richie Unterberger, Scott Plangenhoef, and Ian MacDonald have noted that by late 1965, The Beatles themselves were assimilating the sound of folk rock, and in particular The Byrds, into the material found on their Rubber Soul album, most notably on the songs "Nowhere Man" and "If I Needed Someone".[65][66][67] As the 1960s came to a close, folk rock changed and evolved away from the jangly template pioneered by The Byrds,[38] but, Unterberger argues, the band's influence could still be heard in the music of Fairport Convention.[68] Since the 1960s, The Byrds' jangly, folk rock sound has continued to influence popular music up to the present day, with authors Chris Smith, Johnny Rogan, Mark Deming and Stephen Thomas Erlewine all noting the band's influence on such acts as Big Star, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, R.E.M., The Long Ryders, The Smiths, The Bangles, The Stone Roses, Teenage Fanclub, and The La's.[69][70][71][72]
In addition to appearing on The Byrds' debut album, "Mr. Tambourine Man" is included on several Byrds' compilation and live albums, including The Byrds Greatest Hits, Live at Royal Albert Hall 1971, The Very Best of The Byrds, The Essential Byrds, The Byrds Play Dylan, and the live disc of The Byrds' (Untitled) album.[73] The Byrds' version of the song also appears on compilation albums that include hit songs by multiple artists.[73] Two earlier demo recordings of "Mr. Tambourine Man", dating from the World Pacific rehearsal sessions, can be heard on The Byrds' archival albums Preflyte, In the Beginning, and The Preflyte Sessions.[74]
"Mr. Tambourine Man" has been covered by many artists over the years, including at least 13 versions recorded in 1965 alone.[8] In addition to The Byrds' rendition, notable recordings of the song have been made by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Odetta, Judy Collins, The Four Seasons, The Barbarians, and Chad and Jeremy.[12] Other artists who have covered the song include The Beau Brummels (1966), The Lettermen (1966), Kenny Rankin (1967), Melanie (1969), Gene Clark (1984), Les Fradkin (2007), and Bob Sinclar (2009).[8][75][76] William Shatner also covered the song in a spoken-word recitation on his 1968 album, The Transformed Man.[8][75] A reunited line-up of The Byrds, featuring Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and David Crosby, performed "Mr. Tambourine Man" with Dylan at a Roy Orbison tribute concert on February 24, 1990. This live performance of the song was included on the 1990 box set, The Byrds.[54] At the October 1992 Bob Dylan 30th anniversary tribute concert at Madison Square Garden, McGuinn performed the song, backed by Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, and Benmont Tench, among others.[8][75]
The song has been translated and recorded in a number of languages. Müslüm Gürses has covered the song with different lyrics written in Turkish. The Turkish version of the song was called Hayat Berbat.[77] It was translated into Romanian by Florian Pittiş, and sung by Pasărea Colibri on their 1995 album În căutarea cuibului pierdut.[78] There are also at least two Brazilian Portuguese versions of the song, covered by Zé Ramalho and Zé Geraldo on their Zé Ramalho canta Bob Dylan and Catadô de Bromélias albums respectively.[79][80]
"Mr. Tambourine Man" has also been referenced in books and film, including Tom Wolfe's nonfiction novel The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,[81] Stephen King's book Carrie,[82] the film Dangerous Minds,[83][84][85] and the documentary film Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The subject of the latter film, journalist Hunter S. Thompson, had "Mr. Tambourine Man" played at his funeral and dedicated his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Dylan because of the song.[86][87] The song was also performed by Pete Townshend at the funeral of Neil Aspinall, The Beatles' road manager and personal assistant.[88][89]
"Mr. Tambourine Man" is one of seven Dylan songs whose lyrics were reset for soprano and piano (or orchestra) by John Corigliano for his song cycle Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan.[90]
The Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was listed as the number 79 song on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and Dylan's version was ranked number 106.[91] It is one of three songs to place twice, along with "Walk This Way" by both Aerosmith and Run-DMC with Perry and Tyler, and "Blue Suede Shoes" by both Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.[91] The Byrds version was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998, and Dylan's version was honored with the same award in 2002.[92]
In 1989 Rolling Stone ranked The Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" as the number 86 single of the prior 25 years.[93] That same year, music critic Dave Marsh listed it as number 207 in his list of the top 1001 singles ever made.[94] In 1999, National Public Radio in the United States listed this version as one of the 300 most important American records of the 20th century.[95] In the UK, music critic Colin Larkin listed The Byrds' version as the number 1 single of all time.[96] Other UK publishers that have listed this song as one of the top songs or singles include Mojo, New Musical Express, and Sounds.[97][98][99] Australian music critic Toby Creswell included the song in his book 1001 Songs: The Great Songs of All Time and the Artists, Stories and Secrets Behind Them.[52]
In a 2005 reader's poll reported in Mojo, Dylan's version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was listed as the number 4 all-time greatest Bob Dylan song, and a similar poll of artists ranked the song number 14.[100] In 2002, Uncut listed it as the number 15 all-time Dylan song.[101]

Johannesburg - SA women's hockey head coach Giles Bonnet says he hopes his team can play at high-tempo against Ghana in their World League match in Cape Town on Tuesday.
"We want to see all the things we have been training brought into the Ghana game, to play at high speed, bring more quality ball in (to the strike zone) and get our set-piece plays working," said Bonnet on Monday.
Rank outsiders Ghana are an unknown quantity and come up against tournament top seeds South Africa in a match expected to be one-sided.
The top two in the tournament qualify for the World League semi-finals in Europe in June.
"This tournament is of huge value and we want to perform," Bonnet added.
The match coincides with captain Marsha Marescia's 300th Test match, a remarkable milestone.
"It's the first time that I will be celebrating one of the milestones of my career in South Africa, so I am looking forward to the occasion in front of our home crowd," Marescia said.
It could also be a memorable match for South Africa's world record goalscorer Pietie Coetzee.
Now on 248 goals in 254 Test matches, Coetzee wants to get the 250-mark done and dusted.
"I'm feeling great and would love to reach 250 against Ghana on Tuesday night in front of the South African crowd and get it over with so I can concentrate on the rest of the matches coming up," said Coetzee.
