Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins says the club will move quickly to replace Brendan Rodgers after the Northern Irishman decided to take up the chance to manage Liverpool.
Rodgers has asked to leave Swansea so he can become Kenny Dalglish's successor, meaning Jenkins and the board face a tricky search to find a replacement. Swansea's attractive possession style of play won plenty of plaudits in their maiden Premier League campaign, and the first-team squad has been put together with that in mind.
"We shall now refocus and quickly start the process of finding his replacement to continue the great work Brendan has carried out at this football club," Jenkins said.

I rarely find anything of value on T.V. At the risk of sounding a little too old for my 33 years, I generally find most of what's on the air in adult programming to be smut and garbage. I can't stomach most reality shows, and think the vast majority of programs in this arena are staged. Those that aren't are experiments in brain rot and hardly qualify as realistic.

PRO: "No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what's broken and build on what works."
Barack H. Obama, JD
44th President of the United States
Address to the annual meeting of the American Medical Association,
June 15, 2009
CON: "According to experts, more than 87 million American could lose access to their current health care plan under the new law. Workers at a majority of the nation's employers – including as many as four out of every five small businesses – would lose their current coverage, thus providing further evidence that ObamaCare is doing exactly the opposite of what Democrats promised it would do."
John Boehner
Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives (R-OH)
"Obamacare, Three Months of Broken Promises," www.gopleader.gov,
June 23, 2010
PRO: "Patient care under Medicare will improve as pilot programs to improve efficiencies are implemented. Doctors and hospitals are encouraged to coordinate care through payment incentives. For the first time, Medicare will reward quality, not quantity; thus, bonus payments will be given to those doctors and hospitals that provide good quality care."
Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA)
"Medicare Benefits and Changes," www.retiredamericans.org,
Apr. 2010
CON: "...[O]ur care will suffer. If the Democrats' plans become law, fewer than 700,000 physicians would be available to treat a patient population growing in size, aging in years, shunning medical education and receiving 'free' health care or insurance coverage from the government in increasing numbers.
The result will be longer wait times to see a doctor and a decline in the high quality of care Americans are accustomed to as overworked physicians try to keep up."
Investor's Business Daily
"The Doctor Shortage," www.investors.com,
Mar. 4, 2010
PRO: "Opponents of health insurance reform continue to spread myths, including peddling the bogus notion that the health reform bill is 'socialism' and a 'government takeover of health care.' The fact is the reform legislation builds on our existing private health insurance system...
[H]ealth insurance reform legislation expands private health insurance in America, and is based on increasing choice and competition... among a variety of private insurance plans."
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the US House of Representatives (D-CA)
"Health Insurance Reform Mythbuster - 'Democrats' Health Insurance Refrom Is Socialism and a Government Takeover," www.speaker.gov,
Mar. 19, 2010
CON: "Obama is a socialist. If you take over banks, if you take over car companies, if you take over financial institutions, the way that he has - now the health care system. If you're going to use every crooked deal that you can come up with to get a bill like that passed - most recently the health care bill - that is by definition, if you look up the dictionary definition of socialism, this is it."
Sean Hannity
Host of Fox News Channel's Hannity show
Interview with CNSnews.com,
Mar. 25, 2010
PRO: "The Constitution gives Congress the power to tax and spend money for the general welfare. This tax [PPACA] promotes the general welfare because it makes health care more widely available and affordable. Under existing law, therefore, the tax is clearly constitutional...
Many important and popular government programs are based [on] Congress's ability to give incentives through taxation and redistribute tax revenues for public purposes. To strike down the individual mandate the Supreme Court would have to undermine many years of precedents justifying these programs that stretch back to the New Deal (and in the case of the rules for direct taxes, to the very founding of the country).
Opponents of the individual mandate insist that they are only defending individual freedom, but they are actually taking a far more radical position. They are really claiming that it is unconstitutional to make Americans pay taxes."
Jack M. Balkin, JD, PhD
Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School
"Is the Health Care Law Unconstitutional?," New York Times,
Mar. 28, 2010
CON: "Can Congress really require that every person purchase health insurance from a private company or face a penalty? The answer lies in the commerce clause of the Constitution, which grants Congress the power 'to regulate commerce... among the several states.'
...[T]he individual mandate extends the commerce clause's power beyond economic activity, to economic inactivity. That is unprecedented. While Congress has used its taxing power to fund Social Security and Medicare, never before has it used its commerce power to mandate that an individual person engage in an economic transaction with a private company. Regulating the auto industry or paying 'cash for clunkers' is one thing; making everyone buy a Chevy is quite another. Even during World War II, the federal government did not mandate that individual citizens purchase war bonds."
Randy E. Barnett, JD
Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory at the Georgetown University Law Center
"Is Health-Care Reform Constitutional?," Washington Post,
Mar. 21, 2010
PRO: "We estimate that, on net, the combination of provisions in the new law will... lower premiums by nearly $2,000 per family...
Without reform, premiums are expected to increase from $13,305 in 2010 to $21,458 in 2019. Relative to this increase, premiums under reform increase only three-quarters as much. By 2019, family premiums are nearly $2,000 lower. Adding reductions in out-of-pocket costs and lower taxes for Medicare and Medicaid will result in estimated savings for the typical family of over $2,500 that year."
Center for American Progress (CAP)
"The Impact of Health Reform on Health System Spending," www.americanprogress.org,
May 2010
CON: "Throughout the year-long debate over health care reform, President Obama promised that the legislation would reduce the spiraling cost of health care... But a couple of new government reports confirm what many of us who opposed a federal takeover of the health care system feared all along - higher costs...
CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] says that the health care law will impose billions of dollars in annual fees on manufacturers and importers of brand-name prescription drugs and on health insurance plans, and new taxes on medical device sales. CMS said it anticipates that these new fees and taxes will be passed down to consumers in the form of higher drug and device prices and higher insurance premiums, raising health care costs from $2.1 billion in 2011 to $18.2 billion in 2018.
Throughout the health care debate, Americans were told the Democrats' health care reform measure would make premiums more affordable; instead, as the President's own actuary at CMS confirms, Americans will face higher premiums..."
Lisa Murkowski, JD
US Senator (R-AK),
New Health Care Law Will Increase Costs, Reduce Benefits," murkowski.senate.gov,
May 18, 2010
PRO: "The Senate plan limits how much even the wealthiest family buying insurance in the Exchange can be expected to pay, out-of-pocket, in a given year to a total of $11,900 for a family, and $5,950 for an individual. Again, lower-income households are expected to pay less…
These caps should virtually eliminate medical bankruptcy. The total amount that a family can possibly owe is low enough that providers will be willing to give them time to pay it off, and in many cases, to negotiate discounts.
When providers know that there is no way that you can ever pay a $50,000 bill, you wind up in bankruptcy court. When the amounts are smaller, and doable over time, negotiations are possible."
Maggie Mahar, PhD
Fellow at the Century Foundation
Response to Paul Starr's article "What Is in the Health Care Bill," www.talkingpointsmemo.com,
Dec. 17, 2009
CON: "Most people with medical bankruptcies already have insurance, and out-of-pocket expenses will continue to be a burden on the middle class.
Real health care reform is needed. But this bill falls short of that on many levels."
Jane Hamsher, MFA
Founder and Publisher of Firedoglake
"Fact Sheet: The Truth About the Health Care Bill," www.huffingtonpost.com,
Mar. 19, 2010
PRO: "CBO [Congressional Budget Office] and JCT [Joint Committee on Taxation] estimate that enacting both pieces of legislation—H.R. 3590 and the reconciliation proposal—would produce a net reduction in federal deficits of $143 billion over the 2010–2019 period as result of changes in direct spending and revenues. That figure comprises $124 billion in net reductions deriving from the health care and revenue provisions and $19 billion in net reductions deriving from the education provisions."
Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
Report (untitled) on the estimated budgetary effects of the March 2010 health care reform laws, www.cbo.gov,
Mar. 20, 2010
CON: "In reality, if you strip out all the gimmicks and budgetary games and rework the calculus, a wholly different picture emerges: The health care reform legislation would raise, not lower, federal deficits, by $562 billion..."
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, PhD
President of the American Action Forum and former Director of the Congressional Budget Office
"The Real Arithmetic of Health Care Reform," New York Times,
Mar. 20, 2010
PRO: "The health reform legislation signed into law by President Obama includes the largest health care tax cut in history for middle class families, helping to make insurance much more affordable for millions of families...
The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit can cover up to 35 percent of the premiums a small business pays to cover its workers. In 2014, the rate will increase to 50 percent..."
Dan Pfeiffer
White House Communications Director
"Health Reform and the Recovery Act: Unprecedented Tax Cuts for the Middle Class," www.whitehouse.gov,
Apr. 13, 2010
CON: "The Senate bill would: impose job-killing mandates and penalties on businesses, [and] increase taxes and burdens on small businesses... H.R. 4872 is no 'fix' for the Senate-passed bill. It includes a long term hidden tax by deferring the 'Cadillac tax' on certain high cost health plans until 2018. The number of Americans that will ultimately suffer from this hidden tax will mushroom each year because the tax is indexed to inflation...
This bill would also impose a new 3.8 percent 'Medicare tax' on non-wage income that would target high income earners, income from interest, dividends, capital gains, and some profits from investments in partnerships and S-corporations. If this tax and other tax increases included in the President's FY 2011 budget become law, certain taxpayers could expect a marginal tax rate on capital gains and qualified dividends of 23.8 percent, and a marginal tax rate on nonqualified dividends of 43.4 percent."

Mar. 19, 2010
PRO: "The recently enacted PPACA (H.R. 3590) includes numerous policies to train more primary care physicians and increase the supply of primary care physicians. These policies include: mandatory and increased discretionary funding for the National Health Service Corp (NHSC), reauthorization of Section 747 of Title VII, Training in Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, General Pediatrics, and Physician Assistantship; creation of a Primary Care Training Extension Program and increased faculty scholarship loans, redistribution of 65% of the current unused Graduate Medical Education slots to primary care and general surgery and allowing residents to count their time spent in ambulatory settings to count towards their residency requirements, such as physician offices and community health centers; and the establishment of Teaching Health Centers, creating primary care residency programs in non-hospital settings."

CON: "Questions have been raised as to whether there will be a sufficient supply of physicians and other health professionals to serve the nation, especially in light of concerns that the nation was facing potentially significant shortages even before health care reform...
[W]e project an overall shortage of 91,500 and 130,600 active patient care physicians in 2020 and 2025 respectively, and a primary care shortage of 45,400 and 65,800 physicians in 2020 and 2025...
These revised estimates are consistent with earlier estimates: they indicate the health care system is likely to be facing severe pressure as demand rises more rapidly than the supply."
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)
"The Impact of Health Care Reform on the Future Supply and Demand for Physicians Updated Projections Through 2025," www.aamc.org,
June 2010
PRO: "As part of a 'grand bargain' to create a bipartisan health care bill, some have said tort reform should be included...
Look at what the actual data says: 98,000 people dead every year from preventable medical errors, at a cost of $29 billion. Countless more are seriously injured with astronomical costs. The Congressional Budget Office and Government Accountability Office have looked at tort reform multiple times, and said it will save practically no money. They also found no evidence of so-called 'defensive medicine,' finding that doctors run more tests because of the fee-for-service structure, or because of the benefits extra tests have on patient care.
Additionally, a 2006 study from Harvard found that 97% of cases were meritorious, totally debunking the idea that frivolous lawsuits plague our courts. And while 46 states have enacted some kind of tort reform, health care costs have continued to skyrocket, while injured patients or their families often can't seek justice...
Forty-six states have tort reform, and American families still shoulder exorbitant health care costs. All the facts and data say it doesn't work. There's still 98,000 people dead every year from medical errors. But when political gamesmanship and backroom deals take over, the facts fly out the window.
This health care bill has a long way to go. But let's be perfectly clear: patients' rights aren't negotiable. Tort law changes won't fix health care, but only make it more difficult for injured patients to seek justice. Instead of bargaining away patients' rights, Congress should [put] their safety first."
Anthony Tarricone, JD
Former President of the American Association of Justice
"Tort Reform: A Bad Bargain That Won't Fix Health Care," www.huffingtonpost.com,
Sep. 22, 2009
CON: "You would think that any effort to reform our health care system would include tort reform, especially if the stated purpose for Obama's plan to nationalize our health care industry is the current high costs...
Many states, including my own state of Alaska, have enacted caps on lawsuit awards against health care providers. Texas enacted caps and found that one county's medical malpractice claims dropped 41 percent, and another study found a '55 percent decline' after reform measures were passed.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry noted that, after his state enacted tort reform measures, the number of doctors applying to practice medicine in Texas 'skyrocketed by 57 percent' and that the tort reforms 'brought critical specialties to underserved areas.' These are real reforms that actually improve access to health care.
...[R]esearch shows that around $200 billion per year could be saved with legal reform. That's real savings.
If you want to save health care, let's listen to our doctors. There should be no health care reform without legal reform. There can be no true health care reform without legal reform."

The phrase "Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?" often comes to mind when a guy builds a car so outrageous that it almost defies logic. When you hear the words, "You put what in what?" will generally produce the ubiquitous thumbs-up.
When you get psychologists wanting to beat down your door to do a case study on your righteous street machine, it can only mean one thing; only a madman could have dreamt up a project of this magnitude. Of course this may all sound a bit exorbitant but this car really is a rolling corn-fed hyperbole in and of itself. The sheer range this car covers requires such overemphasis that doing so only adds to the air of mystery that this car creates.
Even so, none of this is new to Eddie Czech of Apple Valley, Minnesota, and his '63 Nova II. He hears this stuff everywhere he goes. "I always wanted a fast car that is street driven and that has all the stock trim," says Eddie. Well, Eddie pretty much nailed that one on the head. Ten years and six engine combinations later; Eddie is finally happy with his creation.
When it comes to aesthetics, this baby has been untouched, featuring the original sheetmetal and has aged rather well over the years. Sure, the paint doesn't have the gloss and glimmer of a freshly coated shell, but under that meek exterior lays the heart of purebred. Half of which throws the natural self-preservation instinct into the wind and the other half is only slightly more bonkers. Nevertheless, it's the way he plays.
Eddie's goal may not have been to build a quiet sleeper; actually it's far from it. The sheer mountain of volume this car produces, along with the telltale blower whine, gives this thing away from the proverbial mile. Be that as it may, he has built one unique ride that makes it stand out from the crowd. All we know is that it's loud, mean, fast, and 100 percent badass!

Chat wrap: Pre-signing day predictions
By Max Olson
Thanks for your questions during my chat, you can find the transcriptĀ
CautiousCowboy (Arkansas):
ĀTwo questions: What are the chances
Kenny Young
signs with the Cowboys? Do you think
Mason Rudolph
can win the starting QB job away from JW?
Max Olson:Ā
I'd predict Kenny Young ends up choosing LSU, that's just my honest opinion, and I think the writing has been on the wall there for a little while. As for Rudolph, I definitely think he can challenge. We didn't see it coming with
Wes Lunt
Āand he got on the field right away, and I think Rudolph will come in with similar expectations as a guy who can play from day one if he puts in the work.
Shane (Texas):Ā
Will there be any surprising commitments for the Longhorns?
Max Olson:Ā
Never say never, since it's not like anybody saw the
Shiro Davis
flip coming two years ago. But I think Texas has a relatively calm signing day with commitments from DTs
Poona Ford
Chris Nelson
Bo (Missouri):Ā
What are OU's chances of flipping in-state DE
Deondre Clark
to OU from LSU?
Max Olson:Ā
That might be the biggest question of signing day in the Big 12. Clark is a stud, and the Oklahoma coaching staff did a great job of getting back in the mix after falling behind early. I think he'll end up at OU, but that's still an unpredictable situation.
Matt (Boston):Ā
Where do you think
John Bonney
will end up?
Max Olson:Ā
I do think he'll end up signing with Texas on Wednesday, especially after he showed up in Austin for an unofficial visit this weekend. I think that trip sealed the deal. I like Baylor's chances better than Auburn's if Bonney does change his mind, but it seems like the Longhorns will hold on here.
Jake (Texas):Ā
Do you think the recent news about the Teuhema brothers decommitting from Texas and looking heavy at LSU has anything to do with Clark making his mind up on OU so LSU went after the brothers instead?
Max Olson:Ā
That's certainly a theory that a lot of folks are curious about. LSU was in the mix for the Teuhemas throughout this year and was the runner-up when they decided last May. Some will say Clark motivated the move, but they're different players --- Sione is a hybrid LB/DE -- and obviously anyone going after Sione is trying to get Maea too, as he's the best lineman in the state of Texas for the 2015 class.
Dustin (Tulsa):Ā
Which OU '14 recruit has the best career at OU besides
Joe Mixon
Max Olson:Ā
I can't help but think that in
Dallis Todd
Mark Andrews
Jeffery Mead
, at least one of those guys ends up being an All-Big 12 receiver before it's all said and done. Love their size. I know Andrews could end up at TE, obviously, but with the wealth of talent OU is set to have at QB those freshman receivers are in great shape.
Kris (Des Moines):Ā
What's up with
Joe Mixon
going UCLA last weekend?
Max Olson:Ā
I know Mixon has downplayed that since then. But who knows. He's a Cali kid going to Oklahoma. I'm sure he has family members who want him closer to home. Doesn't mean that'll change his mind.
Chad (I-State):Ā
Allen Lazard
Michael Warren
seem to get the most buzz from ISU's class. Who are a couple other guys Iowa State fans should be excited about?
Max Olson:Ā
I like what Iowa State did with its junior college recruiting in this class. The Cyclones have always done a nice job in that category under Paul Rhoads. The defense is getting help from the juco ranks with three defensive ends, two safeties and an inside linebacker, and I'm sure several could see the field next year.

Husqvarna TE-610 Owners Sign In Thread.
View Single Post
Joined: May 2006
Location: Boise Idaho
Oddometer: 23
Hopefully I will be able to get a picture to post.
I have been riding dirt bikes since I was 5, did the motocross starting as a teenager, then moved to off-road racing around 24, then on to trials riding at 35. I had a few years of road riding in my early 20s, but off-road is what I have always moved to.
I currently have a Kawasaki KDX 220 for long survival woods riding and my wife rides it, a YZ250 for dessert and racing, a Montesa Cota trials bike, and now my Husky TE 610.
The YZ is wearing me out, so Ive been thinking of replacing it with a TE 250, but after a recent ride into unforgiving single track on the TE 610, Im now leaning towards the TE 510. The torque of the 610 was great!
Most of my riding on the 610 is street, interstate, back roads, and in town, with not enough dirt riding.
About my 610, I havent done much yet; I have the PMB rack with all options, and the Cycra pro-bend bark busters. I have a
skid plate coming and my local Husky dealer (Moto Tech) has a variable ignition coming that we are going to test on my bike. I have access to a dyno, so if I can swing it Ill do some before and after runs on it. I have squeaked 2k miles out of the stock tires and they are shot! I am planning on putting the Dunlops on soon. I felt the stock tires were okay on the road, okay at low speeds in the dry slick and rocks, but lethal to the rider in any wet dirt conditions. I also am trying to stop riding the bike long enough to cut the catalytic converter out.
I have a line on a local guy that does the seat modifications. I have ridden a couple of bikes with his work and they are both very nice. One seat had been worked over and was a little fat for my liking; the other didnt change much from stock but was much more comfortable. It sounds like he charges about $100, I think Im going to have him work my TE seat over this fall, and then Ill get a picture posted.
My take on the ignition, the glitch that we all have is due to the stock ignition map. My dealer is putting this in as warranty issue on my bike, maybe if we all do Husky will be more inclined to come up with a fix. My understanding is unplugging the TPS allows the bike to run blind and not see this, but I dont like that fix since if the bike was designed to run a certain way then it should run that way. The spark plug swap should only reduce the problem, not really fix it.
Dont get me wrong, I am enjoying this bike 110% and Im glad I didnt buy any other DS, so dont take my opinion on the ignition issue as regret. I have been a Yamaha rider for 24 years and never really considered anything else. This 610 is making me a Husky believer!

WAIKIKI, OAHU, HAWAII – The lilting sounds of the Hawaiian steel guitar will carry through Waikiki Beach Walk this month with the center's annual Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival on Saturday, July 20, 2013, from 3:00-7:00 pm at the Plaza Stage. Now in its fourth year, this popular program is presented by Outrigger Enterprises Group in its ongoing efforts to highlight and preserve the island culture and brings together legendary steel guitarists and up-coming students for four hours in celebration of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar.
Leading the musical afternoon will be renowned Hawaiian steel guitarist, music teacher and director of Ke Kula Mele Hawaii Alan Akaka, together with fellow steel guitarist masters Greg Sardinha, Casey Olsen, Bobby Ingano and Jeff Au Hoy. Joining these legends will be Timi Abrigo and the Abrigo `Ohana and students from Akaka's Ke Kula Mele Hawaii representing the next generation of steel guitarists.
"The steel guitar community is thrilled to be back at Waikiki Beach Walk to showcase what the Hawaiian Steel Guitar is all about," said Akaka. "As the interest in the steel guitar continues to grow, it is our pleasure and privilege to be able to share this wonderful instrument and gift to all who would like to learn."
Meet the Artists
Alan Akaka has created his own sound and style through the inspiration of legendary steel guitarists like David Rogers, Benny Rogers, Jules Ah See, Billy Hew Len, David Keli'i, Jake Keli'ikoa, and his teacher Jerry Byrd. He has recorded with Genoa Keawe, Benny Kalama, Sonny Kamahele, Jerry Byrd, Barney Isaacs, Nina Keali'iwahamana, Karen Keawehawai'i, Owana and Kuana Torres Kahele as well as with Hawaiian music bands from around the world. Akaka finds joy in sharing Hawaiian music and culture with his audience. He travels throughout the world as an entertainer and a guest artist perpetuating Hawaiian music while stirring renewed interest in the unique, lilting sound of the steel guitar. Over the years, Akaka has launched Hawaiian music education programs on Oahu, Kauai and Molokai and has coordinated performances that generated more interest and brought much exposure to the Hawaiian steel guitar. In 2009, Akaka established Ke Kula Mele Hawaii, a school of Hawaiian music where creative and musical ideas can be developed, nurtured, and shared.
Greg Sardinha has the reputation as the steel guitar player who has the ability to present old Hawaii with a contemporary twist. After years of playing in the background for many of Hawaii's recording artists, Sardinha released his first solo album in 2006 entitled HAWAIIAN STEEL VOL 4 – Artistry of Greg Sardinha. The album reflects his artistry and versatility with the ukulele, guitar and Hawaiian steel guitar and creates a feel of unusual textures and interplay between all the instruments. He has showcased his Hawaiian steel guitar talent performing locally in Hawaii and on the mainland. Sardinha has recorded with many local, national and international artists including Ipo Kumukahi, Sean Na'auao, Cyril Pahinui Band, Hawaiian Style Band, Kalapana, Na Leo, Darrin Benitez, Karen Keawehawai'i, Cecilio and Kapono, Tim Coffman, Jim Messina, Renn Loa, and Richard Cheese Band and others. Sardinha has 6 "HAWAIIAN STEEL" CDs in collaboration with recording artists Alan Akaka, Casey Olsen, Bobby Ingano, Paul Kim, Duke Ching and others.
Casey Olsen – Music has been around Casey ever since he was born. With both his father (Hiram Olsen – guitarist) and maternal grandfather (Billy Hew Len – Hawaiian steel guitarist) being professional musicians, Casey was destined to grow up and follow in their footsteps. An accomplished steel guitarist, Casey has played for many years at the Halekulani Hotel's House Without A Key and at various venues throughout Hawaii, Japan and the mainland. He has performed on the Hawaii Calls Radio Show and with the likes of Nina Kealiiwahamana, Boyce Rodriques, Marlene Sai, Bill Kaiwa, Melveen Leed, Danny Kaleikini, and others. He has many recording credits with artists such as Herb Ohta Jr., Kawai Cockett, Teresa Bright, Hapa, Gary Haleamau, Kapono Beamer, Na Leo Pilimehana, as well as with young new artists such as Raiatea Helm, Anelakalani, and popular group Nakema.
Jeff Au Hoy – Largely self-taught, Au Hoy has mentored under the likes of local steel guitarist Bobby Ingano and brings an "old soul" feeling when he plays his "Frypan." His playing style reflects those of steel legends David Kelii, Billy Hew Len, Pua Almeida, and Benny Rogers. Jeff has recorded with the Brothers Cazimero, Jeff Teves Quartette, Pueo Pata, Aaron Sala and others. In 2004 he received a call to perform at Carnegie Hall with the cast of the Hawaii Calls show. Currently he performs with Cyril Pahinui at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach hotel. Although Jeff is a trained pianist and can play in a number of genres, his interest lies primarily in Hawaiian music of the 1940s and 50s.
Bobby Ingano – A protégé of the famous steel guitarist David "Feet" Rogers (Sons of Hawaii), Bobby Ingano learned from Rogers his gentle style of guitar and humble philosophy of life. His style of lap steel guitar is melodic, understated, and distinctly Hawaiian. In high school, Bobby became immersed in playing the "blues" and joined a band. When he was 18, he met a man who was one of the most notably influential people in his life– David "Feet" Rogers, original slide steel player of the renowned Sons of Hawaii. Feet instilled in Bobby the importance of playing with discipline and love. It is this wisdom that Bobby now shares with young steel guitar players and other young musicians. Now a highly sought after studio musician, Bobby can occasionally be seen touring on the mainland or Japan with the biggest names in Hawaiian music.
Abrigo `Ohana –This band was formed in 2005 when seven year old Emily picked up the bass guitar to play along with her big brother Timi. At the age of ten, Timi became the head of the band holding the lead instrument, ukulele, and the lead vocal. Three year old Quinn handled percussion for the group. Like magic, their little band was born. Today, they have immersed themselves into traditional Hawaiian music including ki ho'alu (slack key guitar), the vocal style of falsetto, ukulele, pakini bass, and Hawaiian steel guitar. Focusing on the greats of Hawaiian music, they bring the old style back into the limelight. Together, these three young children face the future with the hope of perpetuating the music their ancestors left behind for them. They are the future of Hawaiian music.
The Next Generation of Steel Guitarists
At Ke Kula Mele Hawaii, young apprentices are learning the art of the Hawaiian steel guitar from one of the instrument's legend, Alan Akaka. Talented in their own accord, these students are closely following in their teacher's footsteps and continuing the legacy of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar for future generations:
Mark Prucha – Living in Illinois hasn't proved a barrier for this musician to learn and become proficient in the Hawaiian Steel Guitar. For the past 3 years, he has been taking lessons via Skype from teacher and mentor Alan Akaka. Today, Mark performs with a Hawaiian band from the Chicago area and is currently collaborating with Akaka to write music for steel guitar.
Malie Lyman – is the nine year-old great granddaughter of the late Auntie Genoa and is already proving her mastery of the steel guitar. With only three months of lessons under her belt, Malie is already performing her extraordinary steel guitar skills on stage.
Other Participating Ke Kula Mele Next Gen members:
Keen Ching (14), Alexis Tolentino (14), Sid Pang (15), Kalyn Aolani (15) – Skype student from Los Angeles, Quincy Maka'awa'awa (18)
The 4th Annual Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival is held in partnership with Outrigger Enterprises Group, Waikiki Beach Walk and the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Association with support from Ke Kula Mele Hawaii.

While Loh sought consensus from his closest advisers, thousands of rank-and-file boosters were left to follow the story in the media as it developed over the weekend. Originally miffed by the lack of information and reticent to consider a future without booing Duke, some were won over by Loh's straightforward explanations.
Fabien Jimenez, who has volunteered with Maryland's alumni association and athletic department, said most savvy fans had suspected that a move to the Big Ten could happen because it had been rumored two years ago.
"In a perfect world, from a [public relations] standpoint, there would have been more transparency and a more thorough process," he said. "But you can understand that privacy and time were of the essence. As long as it is true that president Loh met with a cross-section of people, I can accept it."
Loh described the two weeks of serious negotiations with the Big Ten as "very, very intense" and largely sleepless.
Monday's announcement cast a bright light on the native of China, who arrived in Iowa as a teenager, with $200 in his pocket and dreams of the opportunities afforded by an American education. Loh, 67, went on to earn a law degree at Yale and to become one of the highest ranking Asian-American educators in his adopted country as provost at the University of Iowa.
The Big Ten move is not the first high-profile action of his tenure in College Park. He has traveled to China to promote the university, emphasized entrepreneurship among faculty and students and stood at the center of negotiations over a possible merger of the University of Maryland's College Park and Baltimore campuses.
But observers said there's little question that Loh just locked in the first line of any story written about his time at Maryland.
"This will be the decision that, no matter how long he stays at the university, will get the most attention," Nevins said.
"It's historic," Kelly said. "I don't know if I would use the word defining until he's done with his career, but it's very impactful."
When Loh came to Maryland in 2010, he described athletics as the "front porch" of the university, a useful tool in marketing and alumni relations. Those who've spent significant time with him say sports fandom is not an integral part of Loh's being, but from the start, he tried to work Terps boosterism into his public appearances.
He had little idea, however, that the early years of his presidency would be dominated by major decisions about sports.
Maryland's athletic department had been exceptionally stable for a decade, with Gary Williams and Ralph Friedgen atop the men's basketball and football teams, respectively, and Debbie Yow as athletic director.
Within a year of Loh's arrival, all three were gone, Williams and Yow voluntarily and Friedgen under pressure from Yow's successor, Kevin Anderson.
Complicating matters further, Loh and Anderson learned that the department was on less stable financial ground than they had assumed. For years, Yow had borrowed from reserve funds to balance the budget, but that well was finally tapped. Revenues from football and men's basketball were declining, and the university still faced substantial debt payments for a $50.8-million renovation of Byrd Stadium.
A personal toll
At the end of last year, Loh announced that the university would have to cut eight programs — the number ultimately fell to seven — to close an immediate $4-million deficit in the athletic department budget and to avoid a projected $17-million deficit by 2017.
Loh cast the pain of the decision in personal terms, noting that his daughter, Andrea, had called to say her "world would come to an end" if anyone tried to eliminate her Division III soccer program at Occidental College in California. He described sitting and crying with Maryland athletes as he told them of the planned cuts.
"That was probably the most painful experience I've ever had in my life," Loh said in a late-Feb. interview. "I certainly didn't come here to cut teams. I was really quite blindsided when I arrived here. I knew in the job interview they had mentioned attendance had slipped in basketball and football and so on. But I don't know if anyone really knew that we had been spending more than we earned and covering up the deficit [by] drawing from our reserves.

Replying to: I consider this phone to be very homophobic..... by Albie05
Although, I believe it could have worked much better if they had just numbered the buttons as 1 and 2, that way they could put different numbers if needed, such as a grandparent for single parent homes--they were just thinking *simplicity* for the child to easily use this phone. Come on now, you can't possibly please everyone. Get over it. It's just a fricken button.

Eleven Eleven Eleven
Eleven Eleven Eleven is an exciting oral histories project in which volunteers have worked with eleven of Nottingham's culturally diverse communities. The project looks at the conflict from a new angle by recording perspectives of the First World War from people whose family memories and personal perspectives tell the story from countries outside Britain.
Funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the Eleven Eleven Eleven project has collected personal stories which have been produced as a number of short videos, which will be displayed as part of the Trent to Trenches exhibition at Nottingham Castle from 26 July to 16 November 2014. The videos will bring an international perspective to the exhibition, and widen people's understanding of the global reach of the First World War.
Volunteers have also developed a touring exhibition and events programme at community venues throughout Nottingham. Running from August to November, the travelling exhibition will aim to bring people into the heart of their community buildings to discover the First World War stories of a range of communities. Eleven Eleven Eleven programme [3Mb]
The volunteers, of all ages, come from diverse local community organisations, and from Nottingham Museum's Illuminate young people's group. They represent all ages and cultures from the rich, multi-cultural community of Nottingham, and many have no previous experience of this type of project. They have participated in the project from development through to delivery and have been involved in all aspects of the project, using their current skills and learning new ones. These opportunities have included research, exhibition design, marketing, film-making and oral history collection.
For more information about this project, follow the volunteers' Facebook page, or see Illuminate's blog.

Keep weeds in checkWeed resistance to chemicals will continually increase. It only takes one weed to survive a treatment for it to pass on the genetic makeup to do so to the offspring. This creates more resistant weeds until there is a whole population of resistant weeds. Applying more herbicide will make these weeds even more resistant. This will happen over again even if the chemical formula for the herbicide is altered.

Bloomsburg, Columbia County-Shannon Phillips, a junior public relations major from Bloomsburg, is Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania's new student representative to the Council of Trustees.

in quick bite, asian, vietnamese, nuns' island, casual, <$20
Late last year, the dull Nuns' Island dining scene received a little spark of freshness with the opening of Le Petit Sao in the small Le Village mall. The mother and daughter team behind Brossard's Sao Sao came up with a creative Vietnamese concept served out of a fun, bright locale. Today we checked it out during the midday rush with the hopes that the island finally has a good lunch option.
As with most Vietnamese eateries, pho takes center stage at Le Petit Sao. The menu also features other variations of rice vermicelli served in bowls with grilled or sautéed meats, poultry or seafood. Finally, there is a street food section for the country's iconic banh mi sandwiches.
Lemongrass-Beef Summer Roll
Starter, $3
"pickled carrots, red cabbage, cucumber & rice vermicelli in a rice paper roll"
Pho Tai Nam, Large
Main, $9.80
"beef (rare flank steak), rice noodles, coriander, scallions, onions, bean sprouts, Thai basil & chili pepper in Mama's 6-hour simmered broth"
While we definitely enjoyed Sao's concept and food, unfortunately the options today were very limited as the staff "pressures" you to order the pho+roll lunch special (probably to move the lunch line faster), while the sandwich buns were out. We therefore felt a little cheated and won't come up with a final verdict until we try more items off the menu on a future visit.

Mango Update To Bring Tethering To Windows Phone
There are two strings that have helped identify this feature.
"To enable tethering on this device dial {0}" and "To enable tethering on this device, go to {0}"
According to Long Zheng, these strings suggest that this won't be enabled by default and interested customers would have to contact their carrier's to enable it. Users will be able to choose between no encrpytion (open) and WPA2 encryption for their hotspots. The number of guests is also customizable, presumably by the carrier
|This is reported to be running build 7720.68, currently with Microsoft
There are a few reports that suggest that this feature "works like a charm" but eats a lot of battery life.
With such hidden surprises, Mango couldn't come sooner.
AT&T Roadmap Leaks; Two Windows Phone Mango Handsets For Q4
The roadmap is as always clogged with android handsets. On the bright side there are two windows phone mango handsets (Samsung and HTC are the makers) scheduled for a quarter four release.
The Samsung handset is called as the Kupua, which is the long time rumoured SGH-i937. This handset sports a 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus display of WVGA resolution, 512MB RAM and 8MP camera. It further boasts a 1650mAH battery to keep it ticking on for at least a day.
The HTC device, is called the Bunyip PI39100 (ROFL). this also has a WVGA screen of unknown size, 512MB RAM and a 8MP camera. HTC has thankfully added a 1600mAH battery that will hopefully last for a solid day's use.
There is no further news regarding the two handsets. No specific dates have been given. But with Mango already with the OEMs, you won't have to wait for too long to taste some Mango goodness

Sarasota Homeless Ordinance by Mitch E. Perry
A long running legal battle dealing with the homeless came to at least a short term conclusion yesterday when a Circuit Judge ruled that Bradenton and Sarasotaââ¬â¢s ââ¬ËNo lodgingââ¬â¢ Ordinance IS constitutional.
The city of Sarasota passed the controversial ordinances last year, but the ordinance was twice overturned and rewritten after judges expressed concerns about its constitutionality. Bradenton passed a similar law this summer.
The law bans unauthorized camping, lodging and sleeping outdoors.
Michael Stoops is the Executive Director of the Washington based National Coalition for the Homeless. (roll tape#1 o.q.â�we plan to appealâ�)
The organization put Sarasota on the map in a most unflattering way when it labeled it the Meanest city in the country for the homeless.
Fort Myers Attorney Chris Cosden represented 3 people who were charged with ââ¬Ëlodging out of doorsââ¬â¢ in Sarasota.ââ¬â¢ He says the ordinance is unconstitutional because itââ¬â¢s too vague (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?is forbiddenââ¬?)
Sarasota Circuit Court Judge Charles Roberts ruled that the Ordinance DOES provide fair notice of what conduct is forbidden, does NOT give police officers excessive discretion in enforcement, does NOT penalize innocent conduct, and does NOT criminalize the Homeless.
But Fort Myers Attorney Chris Cosden says the Judge made a mistake in his ruling, opening the way for an appeal (roll tape#3 o.q.â�Circuit Court opinionâ�)
Whitney Coyne is an Assistant City Attorney for the City of Sarasota. (roll tape#4 o.q.â�of the property ownerâ�) WMNF asked him what the City did to tweak the previous Ordinance that led another Judge to declare the law unconstitutional (roll tape#5 o.q.â�so that it doesâ�)
Michael Stoops from the National Coalition for the Homeless says that when it comes to ordinances targeting the homeless, Florida is leading the way (roll tape#4 o.q.â�for lodging, for campingâ�)
And Stoops is ready to retire. He says his organization is prepared to label Bradenton the meanest city in the country next year.comments powered by Disqus

Written by Ed Osborn
Willimantic, Conn: -- A record 120 students presented at the 11th Annual Research Conference and Exhibition at Eastern Connecticut State University on Apri1 14. More than 40 faculty members served as mentors for the students' projects.
More than 40 oral presentations covered such topics as the geology of Andover Lake; the anatomy and physiology of coral competition; the media's influence on public opinion of war; an analysis of the Harry Potter books; sustainable energy and the workforce; ancient Greek history; the history of Irish-American women in Willimantic; and Alzheimer's Disease. Music students and faculty also presented an experimental music performance in Science 104, and several short plays were presented by theatre students.
Other students presented their research findings using tabletop display posters. Visual art students exhibited two-dimensional and digital art as well as a range of sculpture art.
English majors James Boyle'13 and Anna Sobanski'14 said the conference helped them tremendously. "The audience was small and receptive, filled with many familiar faces, but it still simulated what a large-scale conference might feel like," said Boyle. "It also proved that no small amount of work goes into a truly engaging presentation. I appreciate my mentor June Dunn for recommending me to present and persuading me to submit my abstract. It turned out to be a valuable experience."
Sobanski said, "I really enjoyed presenting at the conference because I want to be a high school English teacher, and my presentation gave me an experience that will help me in my future career goals. The conference gave me the opportunity to present on a subject I love and to practice public speaking."
"First off, I got to share my research, which I have worked so hard on and feel very passionately about, with both peers and professionals," said psychology major Melissa Griffin'12. "Second, I was able to hear about other students' research projects and creative activities. This second point really highlights the point of a liberal arts education: to gain knowledge and skill not only within our area of focus, but in other areas as well. Lastly, this conference was a great way to get some public speaking experience. This was the first time I shared my research in an oral presentation, but it definitely will not be the last time. Speaking at the Arts and Sciences Research Conference & Exhibition was a comfortable, yet realistic way to practice public speaking, and I am very glad I had the opportunity to do so."
"This is no longer just an event," said Eastern President Elsa Núñez, "it is part of our culture." The president declared that undergraduate research is flourishing at Eastern and noted that it is one of the cornerstones of the University's emphasis on experiential learning.
"Your work here today is a symbol of your perseverance and a reminder that you have something important to share with the world," said English Professor Dan Donaghy, keynote speaker for the opening ceremonies.
"I want you to spend a few moments when you have free time today to make up three short lists," said Carmen Cid, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. "First of all, write down all the people who have helped you get here. Secondly, write down a list of the things you have learned or discovered in the process. Finally, think of the moments of joy that you have experienced."

Boy Scout abuse victim Tom Stewart poses with his old uniform.
PORTLAND, Oregon: An array of U.S. local authorities – police chiefs, prosecutors, pastors and town Boy Scout leaders among them – quietly shielded scoutmasters and others who allegedly molested children, according to a newly opened trove of confidential files compiled from 1959-85. At the time, those authorities justified their actions as necessary to protect the good name and good works of scouting. But as detailed in 14,500 pages of secret "perversion files" released Thursday by order of the Oregon Supreme Court, their maneuvers protected suspected sexual predators while victims suffered in silence.
The files document sex abuse allegations across the country, from a small town in the Adirondacks to downtown Los Angeles.
At a news conference Thursday, Portland attorney Kelly Clark blasted the Boy Scouts for their continuing legal battles to try to keep the full trove of files secret.
"You do not keep secrets hidden about dangers to children," said Clark, who in 2010 won a landmark lawsuit against the Boy Scouts on behalf of a plaintiff who had been molested by an assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s.
The files were shown to a jury in a 2010 Oregon civil suit that the Scouts lost, and the Oregon Supreme Court ruled the files be made public. After months of objections and redactions, the Scouts and Clark released them.
The Associated Press obtained copies of the files weeks ahead of Thursday's release and conducted an extensive review of them, but agreed not to publish the stories until the files were released.
The new files are a window on a much larger collection of documents the Boy Scouts of America began collecting soon after their founding in 1910. The files, kept at Boy Scout headquarters in Texas, consist of memos from local and national scout executives, handwritten letters from victims and their parents and newspaper clippings about legal cases. The files contain details about proven molesters, but also unsubstantiated allegations
Many of the files released Thursday have been written about before, but this is the first time the earliest ones have been put in the public domain.
The 1959-85 files show that on many occasions the files succeeded in keeping pedophiles out of scouting leadership positions – the reason they were collected in the first place.
But the files document some troubling patterns. In many instances – more than a third, according to the Scouts' own count – police weren't told about the alleged abuse.
And there is little mention in the files of concern for the welfare of Scouts who were allegedly abused by their leaders. But there are numerous documents showing compassion for suspected abusers, who were often times sent to psychiatrists or pastors to get help.
One of the most startling revelations to come from the files is the frequency with which attempts to protect Scouts from alleged molesters collapsed at the local level, at times in collusion with community leaders.
On the afternoon of Aug. 10, 1965, a distraught Louisiana mother walked into the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office. A 31-year-old scoutmaster, she told the chief criminal deputy, had raped one of her sons and molested two others.
Six days later, the scoutmaster sat down in the same station and confessed.
"I don't know an explanation, why we done it or I done it or wanted to do it or anything else it just – an impulse I guess or something," the man told a sheriff's deputy.
The decision was made not to pursue charges. "This subject and Scouts were not prosecuted," a Louisiana Scouts executive wrote to national headquarters, "to save the name of scouting."
In a statement Thursday, Scouts spokesman Deron Smith said: "There is nothing more important than the safety of our scouts."
Smith said there have been times when Scouts' responses to sex abuse allegations were "plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong" and the organization extends its "deepest and sincere apologies to victims and their families."

A man was shot dead and 60 cattle stolen by rustlers at the Ng'enda Lel village on the Trans Mara West and Kuria East district border on Sunday night.
Joel Maritim was grazing the animals when he was ambushed by the rustlers. Anti Stock Theft Unit officers pursued the bandits and recovered 33 cattle.
Trans-Mara station ASTU commandant Emmanuel Opuro told journalists that more than 200 cattle rustlers surrounded their camp as some drove away the animals.
The Oldonyorok Farmers Association Chairman Julius Cheruiyot said the officers were at one point overpowered by the heavily-armed cattle rustlers and almost surrendered but received support from the locals.
Police boss Johnston Ipara said APs, regular police, the GSU and ASTU officers have launched an operation to recover the stolen cattle and appealed to members of the public to be patient.
"During a shoot-out between the police and the cattle rustlers, two of the cows were killed as the cattle rustlers managed to escape with the rest to Wangirabose in Kuria East where we are pursuing them," said Ipara.
Trans-Mara West DC Abdihakim Jubat appealed to members of the Kipsigis and Kuria communities not to carry out revenge attacks but report the criminals to the police.

Matthew Koma Releases The Cherrytree Sessions EP on Cherrytree/Darkchild/Interscope Records
EP Includes Acoustic Versions of Koma's Hit EDM Collaborations Including, Alesso's "Years," Zedd's "Spectrum" and "Clarity" Along with New Koma Solo Track "Suitcase"
New York-bred singer/songwriter and producer Matthew Koma has released The Cherrytree Sessions EP in the US (available September 2 internationally). The EP features Koma performing acoustic versions of his hit EDM collaborations with artists including Alesso and Zedd along with the official acoustic release of Koma's new track "Suitcase". Check out Matthew's performances of "Suitcase" and "Clarity" Live At The Cherrytree House.
An inventive songwriter with a keen sense of melody, Matthew Koma has created a genre-bending sound by merging organic production with the left-of-center melodic finesse he's carefully honed through his work with such artists as Swedish House Mafia's Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso, Nicky Romero, Fedde Le Grand and EDM phenom Zedd whose #1 dance record of the year "Spectrum" Koma co-wrote, featured on and performed live with Zedd at the 2013 MTVu Woodie Awards.
Matthew and Zedd teamed up again on Zedd's platinum hit single "Clarity" which Koma says, "was originally written to a completely different track. I wrote and recorded it to a track Zedd sent me but he wound up lifting the acappella and he put it on what is now the track for "Clarity". One of those happy accidents. It's been really humbling to see a song take on a life of its own like it has."
Koma also possesses an uncommon versatility when it comes to crafting hooks. It's that versatility that first led him to make a major splash co-writing the 2012 smash single "Calling (Lose My Mind)" by Swedish DJ/producers Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso featuring Ryan Tedder. Koma again collaborated with Alesso co-writing and featuring on "Years" (which he also performed live during Alesso's set at the 2012 Coachella Festival). In addition, Matthew co-wrote and is featured on "Sparks" by DJs Nicky Romero and Fedde Le Grand.
Matthew fuses his appreciation for the master singer-songwriters (especially his heroes Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen) with signature electro/pop sensibility that is undeniably of the moment.
With his latest achievements including remixing Springsteen's single 2012 "Rocky Ground" (after getting hand-picked by his hero for the track), Koma has also toured extensively throughout North America and Europe with artists like LMFAO, Charlie XCX and Ellie Goulding. Don't miss him perform Tuesday October 8, 15, 22 and 29 at Hotel Café in Los Angeles.
