Trombone concert a fitting tribute late professor
HUNTINGTON -- Don Williams flew in from California in 1983 to interview at Marshall University.
On his way back from the interview, Marshall professor John Mead, who was also a pilot, chartered a private plane - used to carry caskets -- and gave Williams an unforgettable trip to the Lexington airport to make his way back west and thus began a more than 30-year-friendship.
Williams was offered and accepted the position at Marshall. The two would remain friends until Mead passed away Feb. 8 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., following a brief illness. Mead is survived by his wife, Dr. Joan Tyler Mead, retired dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Marshall.
The colorful retired Marshall low brass instructor and first-class trombonist who died in February, gets a fitting tribute -- a 30-trombone concert called "Red Socks and Low Brass: A Tribute to John Mead," that takes place at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 6, in Smith Recital Hall.
Free and open to the public, the concert also features a special 10-minute-video tribute to Mead, put together by Emmy Award-winning Huntington-based documentary filmmakers Deb Novak and John Witek.
Williams attended the February memorial concert for Mead, who was one of his dearest friends. He said the event, put on with the help of MU Trombone professor Mike Stroeher, the Marshall University Trombone Ensemble and other area trombonists, is a joyous occasion for friends to celebrate the life of the multi-talented musician and teacher.
Known for his wild red socks and tuxedo, Mead was first chair in five symphonies and had accompanied everyone from Glen Campbell and Bob Hope to ice show orchestras and the Ringling Brothers Circus Band.
"We are calling it a tribute and so it is a real hats off to John and to the folks who have had contact with him and who have known him, so that we all get a chance to say atta boy," Williams said. "I got to go up for his memorial in Monroe, New Hampshire, and there has been that. That is not what we are trying to do, but give people a chance to tell John stories."
There will be a gathering after the concert in the atrium at Smith Hall with light refreshments and where friends, such as Terry Roush, who played with him in the WV Symphony Orchestra, will share some John Mead stories.
Williams said that as a testament to Mead's impact that it has been somewhat easy to pull in trombonists who over the years fell under the tutelage of Mead.
Some of those players, such as Joe Patton, a former student, and Jeremy Smith (who will be joined by his father Ron at the concert) are playing with the Huntington Symphony Orchestra Saturday night then staying over Sunday for the campus concert.
According to his obituary, Mead was a demanding and inspiring professor whose loyal and close-knit students could be spotted wearing their red socks at concerts.
One of those students was nationally-known filmmaker Deb Novak, who went back to Marshall for an additional degree in music composition.
"He is one of those teachers that you remember all of your life," Novak said. "He has students everywhere and they are just so loyal to him because of what he gave them."
Novak said her first freshman theory class, she walked in and was delighted that to be in Mead's section. She had known Mead and his wife for years and Novak's mother, a theater professor, had performed shows with them for years.
"I got in Mead's section and he gave me the foundation that I use to this day," Novak said. "I went on to graduate with a degree in musical composition but it all stemmed from that first class where he encouraged me to go on."
When Novak found out they were putting together a tribute to "Mr. Trombone," who used to share Christmases with her family, she found some great footage of his farewell concert in 2000 in Huntington, as well as some footage from a WPBY show that Williams did in the 1990s highlighting various instruments and their masters.
Williams said Mead was indeed a masterful player, a fact shown by his first chair position in five symphonies in his career.
"That is a really good indication of the caliber of playing," Williams said. "When you stop to think about it, it is amazing to think about someone with that kind of talent staying in Huntington as long as he did. But he was first and foremost a teacher, and that is what Marshall gave him a chance to do."
Williams said that Marshall also plans to establish a Mead Scholarship for Music in his memory.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - There is no way to sugarcoat what happened to the San Jose Sharks in the 2014 playoffs. Plain and simple, the Sharks choked away a 3-0 lead and handed the opening-round series to the Los Angeles Kings.
San Jose was then was forced to watch as its fellow Californian club skated to a second Stanley Cup title in three seasons.
The way head coach Todd McLellan sees it, his team can't simply put the postseason collapse in the past and forget about it because doing so would be an impossibility.
"I don't think it's gone. I don't think it will leave," McLellan recently said in an interview with NHL.com.
The fact that McLellan is still around to usher his team through this difficult situation was a surprise to many people, but Sharks general manager Doug Wilson bucked the system by not firing his bench boss following the heartbreaking loss to the Kings. After all, in the NHL where head coaches can have a notoriously short shelf life men have been given the axe for much less.
While he didn't pin the playoff meltdown directly on McLellan, Wilson did refer to the Sharks as "a tomorrow team" in his post-mortem address to the media. Armed with that phrase, the hockey world jumped to conclusions and figured Wilson was ready to clean house, meaning nobody was safe -- including mainstays Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton.
In the end, the Sharks decided to hold onto Marleau and Thornton, but they did say goodbye to oft-injured forward Marty Havlat and veteran defensemen Dan Boyle and Brad Stuart. All in all, it looks like this "tomorrow team" is more like an attempt at rebuilding on the fly.
Rather than overhaul the entire operation, the Sharks instead hope to build around a core group that includes not only Marleau and Thornton but also fellow forwards Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski as well as No. 1 defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
"I think a lot of people, especially in the media, immediately went to, 'Well, they're going to trade Thornton and Marleau.' That's not the case. We believe that those two are part of the solution, not part of the problem," McLellan told NHL.com. "We think we have a very good hockey club and we think we need to tinker with a few things and continue to push forward."
So, it seems the Sharks, a team that hasn't missed the playoffs since the spring of 2003, is not yet ready to forgo a shot a winning the Cup in order to begin a complete rebuild.
One of the reasons San Jose kept its veteran group largely intact was the club hopes leadership can help the team use last spring's playoff loss as motivation. Since McLellan believes forgetting what happened against the Kings to be an exercise in futility, he expects his Sharks to learn and grow from the unpleasant experience.
"The defeat was and still is, it stings a lot," McLellan opined. "We have to look at what we did well and didn't do well in that series and also the fact they (the Kings) won three Game 7s on the road against very good teams. So they were the champs. There is absolutely no doubt about it. That could mean we have a group that is close but still has to figure out a way to close the deal."
Although the Sharks organization believes it has the ability to reload and challenge for a Stanley Cup soon, they will have a tough time converting the non-believers. Last spring's deflating playoff exit summed up the last decade of San Jose hockey perfectly, as the franchise followed up another promising regular season with its latest postseason disappointment.
The difference this time is San Jose is choosing to hang onto some of the bitterness. The danger in trying to use the collapse as a motivational tool is some players could become obsessed with the past and buckle under the pressure to atone for the 2014 playoff loss.
One of McLellan's tasks for 2014-15 is to make sure his team doesn't wallow in misery about what happened in the spring. There have to be some positives to salvage from last season's debacle and Wilson must believe McLellan can uncover those nuggets of wisdom and set the Sharks on the right path.
If McLellan can't turn the lemons into lemonade, however, it may be time for the complete overhaul many folks expected this summer. Of course, the stakes are high for the Sharks brain trust because chances are neither McLellan nor Wilson will be around to oversee San Jose's next rebuild attempt.

Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic
Ocean Club Golf Course
Atlantis, Paradise Island, Nassau, Bahamas
First-Round Notes and Interviews
January 23, 2014
Lydia Ko -5, Rolex Rankings No. 4
Meena Lee -5, Rolex Rankings No. 75
Stacy Lewis -4, Rolex Rankings No. 3
Brittany Lang -4, Rolex Rankings No. 65
Lydia Ko is not a typical LPGA Tour rookie and the 16-year-old showed that on Thursday, shooting a 5-under 68 to tie for the first-round lead with South Korean Meena Lee at the 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic. Ko, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour as an amateur, got her rookie season off to a strong start with six birdies and just one bogey in her opening round at the Ocean Club Golf Course on Paradise Island.
A late-round charge helped Ko surge to the top of the leaderboard as she birdied two of her final three holes. The New Zealander sank a four-foot birdie putt after missing a long eagle chance on the 18th, which moved her into a tie for the first-round lead. Ko was a model of consistency throughout the day, giving herself many chances at birdie during her round. And while a 5-under-par round would certainly be considered a great day for any player, Ko knew that she missed some opportunities to go even lower.
"I thought I was playing much better than my scores," Ko said. "3‑under was a great score during the middle of my round, but I thought I was playing even better. I gave myself opportunities and I hit my putts on the line that I wanted to hit them, and sometimes it would just dive off to the left or right. So I had a couple close ones, but like I said, the grain can definitely affect the ball."
Lee credited a strong putting day and her eagle on the par-4 14th for her solid 5-under-par score. She holds a share of the first-round lead for only the fourth time in her career but the two-time LPGA Tour winner is feeling very confident in her game following a strong offseason.
"I had a wintertime working hard, so that's why I have confidence more than last year," Lee said after her round on Thursday. "That's why I feel very good and happy to play in the first tournament."
Ko and Lee have plenty of challengers right on their heels after the first day of play. Rolex Rankings No. 3 Stacy Lewis finds herself right in the hunt after firing a 4-under 69 that put her in a 10-way tie for third. Lewis got off to a solid start with three birdies on the front nine and she got to 5-under thru 13 holes before a bogey on the 14th slowed her momentum. Lewis was able to finish steady over her final few holes to finish just one shot out of the lead.
"I thought I'd be a little bit more rusty than I was," Lewis said. "But I got off to a good start, and really just hit the ball really solid and was able to control some shots in the wind and the shots that I saw I was able to pull off. I was really happy with the way I hit the ball."
Lewis and Ko were paired together for Thursday's opening round. Ko joked that it was pretty cool to see her name next to Lewis' name for the first round of the tournament. But while the No. 4 ranked Ko still seems unaware of her own prowess, the woman right in front of her in the rankings couldn't help but rave about the 16-year-old. Lewis was once again amazed at the composure and poise shown by the 16-year-old phenom, saying that nothing seems to faze Ko.
"I think our games are very similar, just the way we play," Lewis said. "We both hit it solid and make some putts. She rolled it great today. For the first seven, eight holes, she made everything she looked at.
"I think she's really good. Gosh, when she gets some confidence and really figures that out, watch out for the rest of the Tour. I mean, it's nice to see [her modesty], but at the same time you want to see her kind of really believe in herself and believe that she is one of the best players in the world."
What nerves? Lydia Ko expressed surprise after Thursday's first round of the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic but it had nothing to do with her performance. Instead, Ko said that she found herself caught off guard by the lack of nerves she had when she teed off for her first round as an LPGA Tour member.
"I just felt really relaxed and kind of just played my game one shot at a time, watched Stacy and Beatriz hit," Ko said. "I think it's great to be paired along with the world's greatest players, and just to be able to see it is a plus. To play better golf, that's even better."
Seeing Ko perform well, as she shot a 5-under 68 on Thursday, is nothing new for LPGA fans. But there were bound to be questions of how she might play after making so many changes during the Tour's short offseason. Since turning professional right before the 2013 season-ending CME Group Titleholders, Ko has signed a new equipment deal with Callaway, changed her swing coach and also hired a new caddie. But none of those switches seemed to have any impact on her game on Thursday and Ko wasn't concerned about how they may affect her going forward.
"Over the last month hearing the word change, it could pretty much be my middle name," Ko said. "Yeah, I knew what happened like before with some other players, but you never know what's going to happen. That slump stage, you never know when in your career it will happen. It's good that I kind of got off into a good start and it will definitely help with the rest of the season. Yeah, I guess change is quite big, but I wanted a challenge."
The No. 1 Goal: 2013 Vare Trophy winner Stacy Lewis picked up where she left off at the end of last season with another low scoring round after shooting a 4-under par today, one shot off the lead. Five birdies and one bogey put her in a 10-way tie for third heading into the second round on Friday.
When asked what her goals are for the year, Lewis said "I'd like to get back to No. 1 in the world. But you try not to think about it too much because there are so many good players and so many people that can be No. 1, and it's a hard place to be. Today was a good start, and we've got a long ways to go, though."
Starting Strong: After spending four weeks in Korea before practicing in Orlando the rest of the offseason, Meena Lee finished the day as the co-leader, along with Lydia Ko, after round one with a 5-under-par 69. This is the fourth time that Lee has been the leader or co-leader after the first round and the first since the 2011 Ricoh British Open where she finished T37.
"I was putting very well today, and then No. 14, I made eagle, so everything was working together." Lee said to describe her day today.
A Gift of Luck: Brittany Lang is hopeful for a strong season after a storybook wedding to her husband Kevin Spann in early January. She started it off today with a strong 4-under-par 69 even though she said she wasn't swinging aggressively through the first 13 holes. Thanks to a good luck charm gift from a fan, she's hoping for a strong finish the next three rounds.
"I didn't catch her name, but she gave me a little good luck seashell," Lang said. "She had a cute little pink outfit on with a pink flamingo shirt. She was adorable. She gave me a good luck seashell. Somebody put in in the bag, and it's going to be an awesome week with this."
Quotable: "You can change your clubs, your coach, all these things, but she's still the same person," – Stacy Lewis on one of her playing partners Thursday, Lydia Ko.
Tweet of the Day: Cards win last night. So I've got my Louisville @Konectidy bracelet on. #gocards pic.twitter.com/K0or8td1Zr -- @CindyLaCrosse, who shot a 3-under 70 in Thursday's first round with her lucky bracelet.

Lydia Ko, Rolex Rankings No. 4
Q. Congratulations, a great 5‑under par round today. First official round as a rookie turned out for you pretty well. Take us through your day out there.
LYDIA KO: I had kind of like a shaky start. I still had like a four‑footer for par on the first hole, so I was kind of wondering what the rest of the day would be. But I made a birdie on 2, so that kind of led my day into a good day. Yeah, I just gave myself a lot of opportunities. I left some out there, but overall I think I was putting well and hitting the ball well.
Q. When you look at this golf course, what is your strategy with it? Is there a certain thing that you have to be successful at to shoot low?
LYDIA KO: I think the greens are the toughest part of the course. Some parts can be extremely fast like on the 18th, the eagle putt. I had no idea it would go that far past. Some putts are really slippery. The greens are grainy, as well, so it's kind the most of this condition
Q. We were talking earlier just about your day, and you were saying you were surprisingly not as nervous as you have been in the past. Why do you think that was today that you didn't have as many nerves?
LYDIA KO: I don't know. Yeah, I just felt really relaxed and kind of just played my game one shot at a time, watched Stacy and Beatriz hit. I think it's great to be paired along with the world's greatest players, and just to be able to see it is a plus. To play better golf, that's even better.
Q. You said you struck the ball well. It looked as though you hit a lot of good putts that did not go in. Did you at any point get frustrated and think, wow, I could really be going low here?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I thought I was playing much better than my scores. 3‑under was a great score during the middle of my round, but I thought I was playing even better. I gave myself opportunities and I hit my putts on line, on the line that I wanted to hit them, and sometimes it would just dive off to the left or right. So I had a couple close ones, but like I said, the grain can definitely affect the ball.
Q. If you were giving yourself a grade for the way you played today, what would it be?
LYDIA KO: I think I'd be pretty up there. Yeah, I think this is – I was just more shocked that I wasn't as nervous as I would be. I think just birdie on 2 kind of got me going. Yeah, it would be pretty up there. I shot 10‑under at the Australian Open, but here I just felt relaxed and felt really confident.
Q. Do you think conditions were as good as they were?
LYDIA KO: Maybe the wind might die down. You really don't know, and especially the holes right next to the sea. They can get pretty windy. Hopefully it stays like this, but yesterday playing in the pro‑am it was pretty tricky. So if we have a day like that, the scores are definitely going to be different.
Q. I think I know the answer, but expectations that you had coming out, now that you're a rookie, and there was some sort of a spotlight on you, did you have expectations of yourself?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, you know, most of the times if I feel pressure about expectations, it's about self‑pressure and self‑expectation. My mom said yesterday just go out there, have fun, and I'm never going to always play under par. Yeah, just tried to keep my mind positive, and yeah, just hit the white ball.
Q. When you look at the number of players that have either changed managers or hired a manager or whatever, changed equipment, they have gone through slump periods after, and yet you haven't done that, playing extremely well in your first outing. Is it something you're completely able to block out, or how do you account for that?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, over the last month hearing the word change, it could pretty much be my middle name. Yeah, I knew what happened like before with some other players, but you never know what's going to happen. That slump stage, you never know when in your career it will happen. It's good that I kind of got off into a good start and it will definitely help with the rest of the season. Yeah, I guess change is quite big, but I wanted a challenge.
Q. It doesn't seem like being a rookie would feel so different. Do you feel like a rookie?
LYDIA KO: I do, yeah. Seeing the other rookies for this year, like Jaye and a lot of the others, I kind of think, oh, I'm one of them, and I've actually become a Tour player. Last year I was amateur pretty much the whole time. It is definitely different, but I'm just really happy and excited to be on the Tour.
Q. Is the orientation coming?
MODERATOR: We'll have a few of the seminars at Founders. They've had a few different things that have gone on, but no official rookie orientation this week.
Q. Lydia, now holding a tie for the first round, what's your strategy for tomorrow? Anything you'll do tonight to keep yourself relaxed heading into tomorrow?
LYDIA KO: You know, I normally like nine hours of sleep, but I don't think I got as much, so hopefully a little bit of practice and then have a nap and go out to dinner and then sleep again. I like to sleep, and sometimes I oversleep, which is a huge problem.
Q. What was it like to start with Stacy, and I noticed there was a lot of interaction, going down 12 you guys were laughing and talking. What was it like starting with her?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I've never been paired with her from the first round, so that was quite cool seeing my name right next to her on the pairing sheets. Yeah, she's a great player, and she's also a great person, as well. Yeah, I really enjoyed playing with her and seeing her game, especially with putting. She seems so confident and so relaxed, and that's some of the things I want to learn from her.
Q. Are you one of those players that when you're playing alongside some of the other top players in the world, do you really kind of pay attention to their game? Do you watch and get some tips, or do you stay more in yourself and kind of appreciate what they're able to do with their own games?
LYDIA KO: When I'm hitting the ball, I just concentrate on mine, but when it's not my turn, I just kind of see what they do and how different their game is to mine.
Meena Lee, Rolex Rankings No. 75
Q. What was working well for you out there today?
MEENA LEE: I mean, I was putting very well today, and then No. 14, I made eagle, so everything was working together.
Q. First event of the season, what is it like to get off to such a good start? Were you feeling good about your game in the off‑season?
MEENA LEE: Well, I mean, I had a wintertime working hard, so that's why I have confidence more than last year. That's why I feel very good and happy to play in the first tournament.
Q. Did the off‑season, because this is the first time the LPGA has started in January since 2001, did the off‑season seem a lot shorter?
MEENA LEE: Yeah, feel like very short, just a few weeks practice and then start. But happy to start the first tournament.
Q. How did you spend your off‑season? Were you in Korea for most of the time?
MEENA LEE: After CME I stayed in Korea for four weeks and then went back to Orlando December 26th and then ‑‑
Q. Start practicing?
MEENA LEE: Yeah.
Q. Anything that you worked on over that time, anything specific in your swing?
MEENA LEE: Well, everything is the same in the last year, 2013, but more focus on the putting and short game. Working very hard in the winter season, so I had a good round today, so yeah.
Q. What are the keys on this golf course? We're playing all 18 holes this year, which that's a good thing.
MEENA LEE: Depends on wind. I think it depends on weather. Today the weather was very nice, but I think the golf course is very good. It's in good condition. I think everything depends on weather, but the course is very nice. I think there will be good scores the next three days.
Q. How does it feel returning here to the Bahamas to play in the golf tournament?
MEENA LEE: I'm very happy to play here. I played last year, and it was good, but too much rain last year. This year just so nice weather. Everything is perfect, and the conditions are very nice.
Brittany Lang, Rolex Rankings No. 65
Q. We are here after the first round of play with Brittany Lang. Congratulations, a great 4‑under par round today. What was really working well for you today?
BRITTANY LANG: Yeah, it was a good day. I was a little bit nervous, first round of the year, after not playing in a tournament for so long, but I had a great off‑season. I wasn't swinging super aggressive early on and had a couple loose shots, birdied my third hole today, which was 12, and then I hit it in the water on 13 because I just wasn't swinging aggressively. But after that I made double on 13, but after that it was just great shots, super focused, rolling it great, swinging more aggressively and just played super solid. I'm very happy it being the first round of the year.
Q. Short off‑season for everyone but particularly short for you getting ready for your wedding a couple weeks ago. Take us through that. What's it like coming off one of the greatest moments of your life?
BRITTANY LANG: It was. It was the best day of my life. I mean, it was perfection. It was a fairy‑tale. I had my family from all over, all my friends, Kevin's family, obviously my immediate family. It was a very special day, and I'm so thankful we had it. I couldn't be happier.
Q. I heard Kevin played in the pro‑am yesterday. How did he fare out there?
BRITTANY LANG: Kevin did great. He played really well. He had his music on, smoking his cigars, having a good time. He played with Natalie's husband, Katherine Hull's husband and Dean from Pure Silk, so I know they had a good time. If you play with Kevin and don't have a good time, you have a problem because he's just a blast.
Q. I can totally understand that one from hanging out with him watching you play. I just saw you got a little good luck charm from a fan. Talk about that.
BRITTANY LANG: I didn't catch her name, but she gave me a little good luck seashell. She had a cute little pink outfit on with a pink flamingo shirt. She was adorable. She gave me a good luck seashell. Somebody put it in the bag, and it's going to be an awesome week with this.
Stacy Lewis, Rolex Rankings No. 3
Q. Nice round, 4‑under par today, one shot off the lead. Take us through your round; what was really working well for you out there today?
STACY LEWIS: You know, I really got off to a pretty good start. I thought I'd be a little bit more rusty than I was, but got off to a good start, and really just hit the ball really solid and was able to control some shots in the wind and really the shots that I saw I was able to pull off. I was really happy with the way I hit the ball.
Up until about – from 14 in, I hit the ball great, I just didn't score very well.
But 4‑under, first round in six weeks, is pretty good.
Q. I know we talked about the time you took off during the off‑season to give yourself a mental break. You were playing so well at the end of last year. Was it tough to take that time off and were you worried you might not be able to continue that momentum after some time off?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, I wanted to keep playing. I wish we had more tournaments to keep going, but I knew I needed some time just to kind of step away and allow myself to break and not think about golf all the time. I mean, it was a good thing. I forced myself to do it, and I came back around the 1st of the year and just been really happy with what we're working on, and it seems to be coming into play.
Q. You talked about what you've been working on. What specifically have you been targeting, and what did you see kind of pay off in today's round?
STACY LEWIS: Well, I think really living in Florida these last couple years has helped me a lot with controlling spin in the wind, and that really helps on this golf course, just knowing if I turn one back into the wind how far it's going to go, or I can hit one less club and let it ride the wind. Just knowing those different types of shots, that's helped me a lot.
Really what we worked on is just kind of the same things we've been working on for a long time. I don't know, I always try to get a little bit better every day, and just little things. We're not changing the whole plane of my golf swing or anything like that, it's just little things.
Q. You were Player of the Year in 2012, Vare Trophy winner last year. What are your goals for this year?
STACY LEWIS First I'd like to get back to No. 1 in the world. That's kind of the most immediate thing. I mean, I'd like to do both of those things in one year at some point in my career. I have a list of things kind of in the back of my head that I want to check off, and those are two things that are on it. But you try not to think about it too much because there's so many good players and so many people that can be No. 1, and it's a hard place to be.
Today was a good start, and we've got a long ways to go, though.
Q. I know when we were talking a little bit earlier about you and Lydia both played well in the same group. Lydia said it was fun because she had never been paired with you in the first round before and it was fun to see her name up there with one of the top players in the world.
STACY LEWIS: It's unbelievable.
Q. She just doesn't seem to really realize where she is ranked in the world. But she also said that it was good to kind of watch you play. Do you watch her when she's playing? Are there any things that you watch from her game that you kind of pick up on?
STACY LEWIS: Well, I think our games are very similar, just the way we play. We both hit it solid and make some putts. She rolled it great today. For the first seven, eight holes, she made everything she looked at.
I mean, she's – I don't understand. She must not think she's very good or something. I think she's really good. Gosh, when she gets some confidence and really figures that out, watch out for the rest of the Tour. I mean, it's nice to see, but at the same time you want to see her kind of really believe in herself and believe that she is one of the best players in the world.
Q. I think it's that quiet confidence she's starting to get. She did say today, though, that she didn't have as many nerves on the first tee as she's had in the past and it was a different feeling, which kind of surprised her because it's her rookie season and her first event as a rookie that she didn't have more nerves.
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, not many things seem to faze her. You can change her golf clubs, you can change her coach, you can change all this stuff, but she's still the same person on the golf course. That's what I like about her. She gets it done, and that's all you can say.
Q. I know it's early in the week, and it's always hard being at the top of the leaderboard, but what are the keys you look for the rest of the week to succeeding on this golf course.
STACY LEWIS: I really think it's a ball‑striker's course with the greens. The greens are really grainy and they do get pretty bumpy with spike marks and things like that. I think the ball strikers are definitely – the best ball striker is probably going to win this week. It's controlling those shots in the wind. The last couple holes on both nines are pretty tough. It's really got to play well early and kind of hang on at the end.
Q. You and Lydia seemed to talk and chat and laugh. There's some good rapport there?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, we've played so much golf together, it's hard to believe that she's – I think being with her, with her first win a couple years ago in Canada and being with her that final day, we've played a lot together. She's so easy to play with. I actually like – when I saw we were paired together I was actually pretty happy. She's just a really likable kid.

The Fitness Journey Part Two: Food
Katie here – we've passed the halfway point of this B3 session and so far I haven't missed a class! The workouts are fantastic, and I feel good…but there is a whole other piece to the 'getting in shape' puzzle…and that's the food. Like so many people, food has been a struggle for me my entire life. I've had highs and lows..but I've been working to change my habits and my decisions in the kitchen, all the time understanding that I'm never going to be perfect, but I can keep trying every single day.

Katherine A. Heird, M.A.
Katie's passion for international education stems from her experiences as a globe trotter from a young age. Her first study abroad experience in 2000, as a Student Ambassador in Western Europe, helped her to realize her life's passion of seeing the world and experiencing its many different cultures. During her undergraduate work at Salisbury University, she volunteered for Fundación Comunitaria Oaxaca in Mexico. She also spent time studying at the Centros de Estudios Interamericanos (CEDEI) in Cuenca, Ecuador and later returned as an intern in their Office of International Programs.
Her thirst for exploration and experiential learning led her to a career path in international education. After receiving her B.A. in Spanish, Katie returned to Ecuador a third time as an International Programs Coordinator. Katie later joined the UMBC study abroad team in the summer of 2008 and earned her M.A. in UMBC's Intercultural Communications program in May 2011. She currently serves as the Assistant Director for International Education Services.
When she is not encouraging students to explore the world, Katie is with her family relaxing at home, going to a park, or escaping to the beach for some fun in the sun.

Post that log file as well as your XF86Config file and someone may see an issue with it, if glx gears runs with decent framerate (something above 10 for sure :D ) then the driver is operating and something else is likely causing the crash.

Chinese government bans use of Apple products in deepening US conflict August 6, 2014 at 1:41 pm
A recent ban on Apple products in government procurements is the latest Chinese trade decision designed to put pressure on both the US government and US companies.
Foxconn is attempting to replace its human workers with thousands of robots July 8, 2014 at 4:15 pm
Foxconn wants to replace a portion of its workforce with ten thousand "Foxbots." These robots alone could manufacture hundreds of millions of iPhones every year — potentially eliminating the need for most of the workforce. The rollout of these robots might solve Foxconn's current PR problem, but will it create a bigger uproar when thousands of workers lose their jobs to robots?
How to watch hacking, and cyberwarfare between the USA and China, in real time June 25, 2014 at 8:54 am
You've probably read dozens of paragraphs on how the next great theater of war will be online rather than offline, and how China and the US are already battling each other for cyber supremacy. The truth is, though, unless you've actually been hacked, it's hard to appreciate just how real the prospect of cyberwar actually is. Now, though, a security company has produced a fascinating geographic map that shows you hacking attempts in real-time — and sure enough, you really can see China waging cyberwar against the US.
Supercomputer stagnation: New list of the world's fastest computers casts shadow over exascale by 2020 June 24, 2014 at 3:06 pm
Yesterday, Top 500 released the updated list of the world's fastest supercomputers, and it revealed a rather worrying trend: Supercomputer performance is slowing down, rather than speeding up. When most of the world's computing superpowers have announced their intentions to create exascale (1000 petaflops) supercomputers by 2020, this would appear to be a bit of a problem.

Chinese government bans Windows 8 due to Microsoft's retirement of Windows XP May 20, 2014 at 2:30 pm
China is claiming to be so worried about future software support from Microsoft that it is banning the use of Windows 8 on government PCs.
Nintendo is making a new, cheap console specifically for emerging markets May 8, 2014 at 8:14 am
In a rather surprising move, Nintendo has announced that it plans to introduce a brand new game console as early as next year. The catch? The new console will be specifically targeted at emerging markets, such as China and India, and lower-income gamers. With a rapidly growing middle class in these countries — especially in China — with lots of money to spend on entertainment, this is a very savvy move for Nintendo. It remains to be seen how much this move will impact the company's western gaming efforts and the losing battle against the Xbox One and PS4.
Xbox One to be the first game console sold in China in 14 years, but the PS4 still rules the West April 30, 2014 at 12:43 pm
In an exciting move that could turn the console war back in its favor, Microsoft's Xbox One will soon become the first major game console to be sold in China since they were banned in 2000 due to concerns they melt the brains of children. It would seem that Microsoft is the first big console maker to set up a production line there, with a target domestic release date of September 2014. China is now the biggest market in the world for consumer electronics — if the Xbox One is a success there, it could easily pull ahead of Sony's PlayStation 4.

A Chinese zombie space rover is shambling around the Moon February 14, 2014 at 3:42 pm
Just a few days ago, China reported that its lunar rover, Yutu — named after the mythological Chinese jade rabbit that lives on the Moon — went gentle into that good night. Now, just a handful of days later, the dead rover has awoken, shambling along the moonscape with its robot zombie bones.

Funding Student Organizations
Recognized student organizations with Ithaca College accounts may have two different types of funding, Raised Funds and IC Funding. These two types of funding are tracked separately, although they are both held in one account.
Raised Funds
Raised funds include any funds raised by a student organization which includes ticket sales, merchandise sales, donations and any funds received from organizations not affiliated with Ithaca College.
Any funding raised each year that is left in a student organization's account at the end of May will roll into the following fiscal year one time. If a student organization has questions about the rollover policy, they are encouraged to contact the Business and Operations Coordinator.
Depositing Raised Funds:
Deposits may be made at Cashiering Services on the 3rd floor of Egbert Hall using a deposit slip found on Orgsync. Checks must be made payable to "Ithaca College" – checks made out to a student organization will not be deposited. Cash and checks should be deposited immediately upon receipt to ensure their safe handling. Checks older than one week may not be honored.
Receiving Gifts & Donations
When funds have been given to a student organization that are not in return for goods supplied or services rendered, it may be considered a donation. Funds given to cover participation expenses for a specific individual do not qualify as a donation. However, funds given to cover unspecified members of a student organization may be considered as a donation. Donations should not be deposited directly into a student organization's Ithaca College account. Donation checks should be written to "Ithaca College" and should be brought directly to the Business and Operations Coordinator for processing. Ithaca College must process gifts and donations differently, but the funds will be available for use by the student organization.
Funds from within Ithaca College (IC Funding)
Academic Departments
Because departments from within the College grant the funding, these funds are usually given to a student organization for a specific purpose; therefore, these funds may only be spent for the designated intention. Once all purchases have been made all unused IC Funding must be returned to the department from which it was allocated.
After a specific department allocates funding for a student organization's event, the Business and Operations Coordinator will contact the account manager of the source department (please provide contact information) to arrange the transfer of funds. Do not provide the student organization account number directly to another department.
IC Funding does not roll over from year to year. Like all departments on campus, it is re-distributed with the new financial year.
Student Government Association
Each year, the Vice President of Student Affairs and Campus Life budgets Ithaca College funds for student organization initiatives. This money is reserved for the exclusive use of student organizations and is allocated by the Student Government Association (SGA). To be eligible for SGA funding, a student organization must complete the recognition process and have an Ithaca College account through the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs.
The SGA Appropriations Committee considers funding requests from student organizations throughout the academic year and makes allocations after carefully considering proposals, initiatives' potential impact on the out-of-class experience, and other Ithaca College resources that might be available. For more information, please contact the Student Government Association Vice President of Business and Finance at email@example.com.
Residence Hall Association
The Residence Hall Association receives an allocation from Ithaca College to support student life initiatives and may also be a source of funding for student organizations. For more information, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Demolition set for ALLINONE store
HUNTINGTON — Demolition of a troubled convenience store will begin Wednesday in Huntington, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The ALLINONE Store, located at 1954 9th Avenue, was shut down earlier this year when a federal investigation into food stamp fraud led to three arrests.
The owner, Abderahmane Eloirzazi, pleaded guilty in September agreeing to pay $127,000 in restitution and to give up ownership of the store's real estate.
That led led to this week's demolition. Officials are scheduled to mark the demolition with comments Wednesday afternoon.
The gasoline station, formerly known as Sunoco, had been a magnet for drugs and violence, attracting many more calls for police service than other area stores. That troublesome history led Huntington City Council to declare the property a public nuisance earlier this year.
In pleading guilty, Eloirzazi agreed he and others conspired to commit food stamp fraud from June 2010 to February 2012. The operation allowed customers at his business, known as The ALLINONE Store, to exchange government benefits for cash, discounted goods and other ineligible items.
Huntington Police Lt. John Ellis testified in September the store illegally redeemed between $127,000 to $251,000 in benefits from the nation's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as the food stamp program.
Eloirzazi is scheduled to be sentenced next week before U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers.
Eloirzazi's accomplices, store manager Stephanie Pauley and employee Cynthia Gibson, each received probation and orders to assist in paying restitution.

I think it's my new Zara shoes that inspired me to wear a fuller skirt this week. I also had a luncheon to attend and wanted to look a little dressier, which I think a fuller skirt can sometimes accomplish.

I think it's my new Zara shoes that inspired me to wear a fuller skirt this week. I also had a luncheon to attend and wanted to look a little dressier, which I think a fuller skirt can sometimes accomplish.

This outfit is amazing. I want the whole thing. I love everything that you wear on a regular basis, but I think this outfit might be one of my favorites. The full skirt is just full enough to add character without making you look big (sometimes I think full skirts do that on me...but maybe it's just perception). I also adore the shoes. I added them to my wish list...ReplyDelete

Those are gorgeous heels! I am rather surprised they are comfy!! Also, you look lovely in that cut of dress :D.ReplyDelete

HMV/Tower Records Japan
Shout out to Japan for showing us a lot of love for Teeko's "Light Up The Darkness" album. I didn't know that Tower Records still existed but we're very happy to know that the album is currently being featured, along with Elzhi's and Exile/Blu's album. Hopefully we can setup Mellow Orange Japan Tour next year! In the mean time get ur copy at near by hmv/tower. Peace.

Yup Tower Records still exist in Japan. Its like a landmark in Tokyo and other cities. Its strange…in this digital age record shops are almost gone,but not in Japan with Tsutaya and Tower Records. You can find more independent and underground stuff in those places still.

Uh oh. Here we go again. Fresh off swallowing Crimea, Vladimir Putin may well be yearning not for peace but for another piece of Ukraine. At least that's the concern raised by carefully orchestrated pro-Russian demonstrations in Donetsk and other cities in the eastern part of Ukraine where, before Russian TV cameras, the Russian minority is demanding Anschluss with the Motherland.
John Kerry was quick to note, no doubt accurately, that these events are hardly spontaneous given the recent arrest of Russian intelligence agents in Ukraine. It is not hard to imagine a scenario unfolding whereby, once again repeating his favorite excuse for aggression–protecting Russian minority rights–Putin will send the Russian army rolling across the frontier. It would certainly not be a difficult military operation to carry out, given that the Russian forces are already mobilized ostensibly to carry out "exercises" and given the lack of military capacity in the Ukrainian army to oppose such an incursion.
What, one wonders, is standing in the way of another semi-covert invasion followed by outright annexation? The only real obstacle would seem to be any concerns Putin might have about the consequences of such aggression. Kerry, after all, has warned the Russian president he will face "further costs" for such a move. But given the fact that the costs to Russia of annexing Crimea have been minimal–and given the complete loss of American credibility post-Syria when it comes to drawing "red lines" for dictators–one must conclude that it is only Putin's self-restraint that is preventing a further expansion of the Russian Empire. And given Putin's track record, both at home and abroad, of grabbing as much power as possible for himself, betting on his goodwill is not a very good guarantee of Ukraine's continued territorial integrity.

The end of summer is near and that means one thing: Parents are going through the motions to send their kids back to school or maybe start college. From that group of parents, there are approximately 2.4 million who are grandparents raising their grandchildren. For this segment, it is very important to be budget-conscious when going through expenses and to look for ways to ameliorate the big impact on their finances when supporting their grandchildren.

With so much focus on the high-profile disasters and crises – Hurricane Irene damage, war in Libya, human rights violations in Syria and famine in Somalia – it's easy to lose sight of some very real ongoing needs in each of our communities.

Since the start of school is around the corner, let's do a pop quiz: What do you do when you see a school bus flashing yellow lights? For millions of students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. But the greatest risk for these students isn't actually riding the bus-it's approaching or leaving the bus. More school-age pedestrians have been killed between the hours of 3 and 4 p.m. than any other time …

Warren Buffett's op-ed piece in the New York Times sparked a fury on the Internet yesterday. If you missed it, here's the takeaway in his own words: "My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice." What do you think? From earlier this year: Warren Buffett on "value investing." … Back to school.

The days dwindle down to a previous few for Macy's downtown Houston department store after being a Bayou City retail fixture since shortly after World War II.
Macy's spokeswoman Melissa Goff tells the Houston Chronicle that she expects the store to end its 66-year run Saturday.
Only two of the store's 10 floors remain open.
The $13 million store building opened at 1110 Main St. in 1947 as the flagship Foley's department store which stood for years as Houston's biggest department store.
Owner Federated Department Stores rebranded the Foley's store chain Macy's. The Cincinnati-based chain, now called Macy's Inc., announced in January that it would close the store when its lease expires this spring. The building's owners plan to demolish the building.

Step 1: What You Will Need
Aside from those, all you're going to need are;
- 2 small screws (like the kind on your door hinges)
- A small piece of 2x2
Suggested tools to make the job easier are;
- Screwdriver
- Needle-nose pliers
- Wire snips
Step 2: Prepare the Mousetrap
The 2 screws will secure the trap to the wood handle. Make sure you leave just a little overhang at the back.
Step 3: Make the Firing Mechanism
Modify the locking pin so that it's trimmed down in a way that it overlaps the the most forward hole you drilled, then bend the tip of the pin up at a 45 degree angle.
The next step, is to use the locking pin from the other trap as the trigger. Push the pin up through the bottom of the hole, then trim it flush with the top of the spring, and bend it over in a an "n" shape. This will prevent it from slipping back down through the hole.
To see a video demonstration of how the firing mechanism is made, click here
Step 4: Add the Launching Pad
With the trap hammer relaxed, clip the bait pad with the hooks facing upward, then carefully lift the hammer, tuck the pad underneath, and relax the hammer back down onto the trap base.
Your gun is finished, and ready for testing!
Here's a link to his how-to video. Enjoy!
I will definitely make a few of your inventions.
Shotgun power anyone?
