Me? Pat Metheny?
By Paul Rapp
Richard Thompson
Egg, Nov. 3
Thompson returned to the Egg last Sunday as an itinerant folksinger,
without a band and without any new music to pitch. Having
seen the guy a half-dozen times or so, Ive come to realize
I like him solo the best: His bands are great and his electric
guitar playing is astonishing, but at a solo show, one gets
not only his incredible one-man-band acoustic guitar technique,
but an uninterrupted, unimpeded blast of Thompson the person.
And without a pile of new songs to clutter up the proceedings,
this looked like a unique and rare fans show.
As it turned out, we did get a bunch of new songs, but they
certainly didnt detract from the brilliant, freewheeling
show. Thompson has a new album in the can, and we heard She
Believes in Destiny, perhaps the closest thing to a pop song
Thompsons ever written; there was a blistering attack on
religious fundamentalism that started with the attention-grabbing
lyric God never listened to Charlie Parker/Charlie Parker
died in vain; and a newly-minted ode to Alexander Graham
Bell, which walked that fine line between insane and hysterical.
There were classics aplenty; Thompsons songbook is so vast
that he could probably go for days and not satisfy everybodys
wish list. And what makes his best songs so bracing is their
novella quality: Thompson adopts a character, a time and a
setting, and tells a complete cinematographic story in four
minutes. A rollicking Cooksferry Queen woke up the crowd,
Woods of Darney (which combines a love story with an antiwar
message, set in World War I-era England), Beeswing and Turning
of the Tide were luxuriant; Feel So Good and Wheel of
Death rocked as hard as songs can when performed by a guy
and a guitar; and, as has become the custom, Vincent Black
Lightning 1952 stopped the show dead.
The nonpromotional aspect of the show was clear in its utter
looseness: People yelled out requests, Thompson played them;
his guitar solos had a go-for-broke, lets-see-if-this-works
quality that was exciting and often funny; and then there
was what could be considered extracurricular material. Thompson
played Phil Ochs classic antiwar anthem I Aint Marchin
Anymore, adding several extra verses that brought the song
from the Vietnam War era to the present. By the end of the
song, half the crowd was standing and yelling encouragement.
Thompsons additions were so dead-on and passionate that even
a war hawk would have been moved.
Then Thompson sang a hilarious indictment of the Madonna wedding
in Scotland (Say Its for Madonna), and the heavy-handed,
publicity-mad, and disrespectful manner in which the event
trampled Scotland. This was directly followed by him fulfilling
a yelled request for his I Agree With Pat Metheny, which
Thompson said he wrote in support of his friend Methenys
scathing upbraiding of Kenny G for recording a duet with
the very-much-dead Louis Armstrong. I Agree With Pat Metheny
the song started, Kenny Gs talent is quite teeny. The tune
got increasingly and hysterically devastating from there,
as the rhymes became ever more ludicrous and intentionally
strained. Unbelievable.
Now, one could say that this sort of bottom-feeding, easy-target
silliness is below Thompsons stature as an artist, and not
befitting his illustrious career and catalog. Not me. When
somebody pulls stuff thats piss-pants funny out of his hat,
I applaud, no matter who it is.
Me, but Your Fangs Are in My Neck
Philip Glass Ensemble
Egg, Oct. 30
American music icon Philip Glass brought his own ensemble
and a 71-year-old film about vampires to the Egg the night
before Halloween. The lucky few who showed upthe Hart Theatre
was unfortunately two-thirds full at bestwere treated to
a special evening of sound and vision.
A few years ago, Universal Pictures home-video division commissioned
Glass to write a score for the mostly musicless 1931 horror
film Dracula. It was an inspired marketing idea. The
music originally was written for and played by the Kronos
Quartet. Maybe it was the new arrangement for more instruments,
or perhaps it was the result of replacing Kronos strings
with woodwinds, but the music sounded fuller and yet softer,
more compatible with the film.
Which brings us to the main issue. Many film buffs have griped
that the music isnt appropriate to the film. Seeing it for
the first time on the big screena fundamentally different
experience from videoit did seem like the music fit very
well, for the most part. It was in keeping with, and often
enhanced, the films palpable sense of decay and dread. If
Dracula were a silent film, I would rate the score
as perfect.
Unfortunately, its a talking picture. Particularly in group
scenes at the beginning of the film, the dialogue was lost
in the music. The same thing happened in sequences with multiple
sound effects, as during the passage by ship from Transylvania
to England. The rest of the film has the actors speaking very
deliberately, so the music was less of a distraction; though,
for the life of me, I cant figure out why Glass thought it
was a good idea to play through Renfields (Dwight Frye) maniacal
laughter on the boat. It wasnt.
Its hard to say whether the music or the film was the star
of the evening. The print was stunning, and proved again the
durability of Dracula. Director Tod Browning is a favorite
whipping boy for those who dont like the films slow pacewhich
is why its worth noting that the studio recut the film, and
he disowned the final version. The picture is indeed slow,
but Dracula is all about atmosphere; while the audience
may have laughed at the dialogue early on, the film did cast
its spell and the laughter quickly stopped. The outsized performancesFrye
as Renfield, Helen Chandler as Mina, and, of course, Bela
Lugosi as Draculastill beguile.
The music was hypnotic in the way minimalist music often is:
After a phrase has been repeated half a dozen times, your
mind begins to process what its hearing in a different way.
Glass previously noted rearrangement for his own ensemble
was nimble, utilizing an unusual array of winds (tenor sax,
flute, bass clarinet) with two keyboards. Though Ive seen
Dracula more times than I can remember, I was still
drawn into the film. Thats probably the best tribute I can
pay to Philip Glass (and Tod Browning).
Out East
Mary McCaslin
Lena, Nov. 1
Early in a career that spans nearly 40 years (she started
performing as a teenager), Mary McCaslin wrote and recorded
songs that evoked a sense of the Old West but with a modern
sensibility. She also recorded some classic Western songs:
Ghost Riders in the Sky, for instance, an effective piece
of chamber music compared to the symphonic approach of Vaughn
Monroe or Marty Robbins, and Bob Nolans Way out There.
So it would be easy to categorize her accordingly.
But McCaslin has absorbed a much broader range of musical
stylings. Her songwriting is precise and effective, far more
so than many others on the singer-songwriter circuit, and
shows as much influence of Harold Arlen as Hoyt Axton. Speaking
of the latter, her recent Caffe Lena performance included
his song Some Cool Blue-Iced Shore, an evocative, Dylan-like
protest song with a wrenching undercurrent of non-Dylan-like
It was as eclectic a mix of material as you could imagine,
just McCaslin and her guitar (or, for two numbers, banjo)
and a room full of fans happy to see her back in the area
after many years.
Her voice was tentative at first, probably the result of a
bad bout of pneumonia earlier in the year. But shortly into
the first set, she held a long note in her song Santana Winds
that seemed to turn up her vocal strength. And her guitar
work was, as always, magical, journeying through many different
tunings with many different picking styles.
Wayward Wind, a hit for Gogi Grant, got an easygoing, plaintive
rendering, not unlike Neil Youngs version, and Youngs Losing
End followed soon thereafter.
As McCaslin traded guitar for banjo, she announced her next
song as an opera overture, then launched into clawhammer arpeggios
and Pinball Wizard from the Whos Tommy. I always
knew this was a banjo song, McCaslin later explained, and
it sits in her voice and on that instrument amazingly well,
which set us up for Paul McCartneys Blackbird, also with
banjo accompaniment.
McCaslin sang many of her well-known originals, like the haunting
Prairie in the Sky and Ghost Train, both of which can
easily settle in with folk traditions best. She and Jim Ringer
wrote The Ballad of Weaverville, another timeless-sounding
ballad that offers gambling and love, and sounds like it just
came out of the Childs collection.
More recent songs included a tribute to the late Walter Hyatt
(The Lights of Spartanburg) and a mournful tribute to suburban
sprawl, Acres of Houses, which takes Malvina Reynolds Little
Boxes out of the city and onto former farmland, to a melody
reminiscent of Rosin the Bow.
McCaslin is one of those musical powerhouses whose influence
is felt these days more than her presence, so it was a great
treat to have her back in person during this brief tour.

Demonstrations at the HLRS Booth
The presentations at the HLRS booth will cover the continued collaboration with our partners at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) in the framework of the G7 GIBN initiative. In the Global Wide Area Applications Testbed G-WAAT we aim to bring together computing resources and software of PSC, SNL and HLRS. An example is the coupling of the Cray T3E's at PSC and HLRS (movie) for running metacomputing applications.
Results of this collaboration will be partly visualized in a distributed virtual environment based on the work between the SNL's Interaction Laboratory and the visualization group at HLRS. Furthermore we will present European collaborations focusing on metacomputing mainly.
Scenarios planned for demonstration:
SNL will kindly provide most of the equipment for the HLRS/SNL collaboration booth. We plan to run our demos in an environment involving MPPs, workstations and a cluster of PC's. Results of some of the simulations will be visualized online. Since the demonstrations rely partly on the availability of machines at three different supercomputing centers, we will have to schedule them for a fixed date and time and will not be able to show online demonstrations on demand. These demonstrations are currently planned:
- Advanced visualization of the Z-machine data together with SNL.
- Fluid Dynamics Simulation of the reentry of a space vehicle (URANUS)
- Simulations of the mechanical stability of quasi-crystals in three dimensions (IMD) :
- Simulations of dilute (P3T-DSMC) and dense (P3T-MD) granular systems:
- High Performance simulation of internal combustion engines (HPS-ICE).
Tools and Applications used:
The planned demonstrations will be made possible and supported by tools and applications developed at HLRS and the partner institutions:
|PACX-MPI (PArallel Computer eXtension) aims to provide MPI programmers with a single system view of a cluster of MPPs.
|URANUS (Upwind Relaxation Algorithm for Nonequilibrum flows of the University of Stuttgart) has been developed for the simulation of nonequilibrium flows around reentry vehicles in a wide altitude-velocity range.
|P3T-DSMC A parallel object-oriented simulation Monte Carlo code.
|IMD is a software package to perform classical molecular dynamics simulations. As such it iteratively solves Hamilton's equations of motion for a system of point masses for some time interval.
|COVISE (COllaborative VIsualization and Simulation Environment) aims to allow distributed visualization, collaborative working and distributed simulation in a HPCN environment.
COVER, the COVISE Virtual Reality environment allows interactive steering and analysis of scientific data using projection based VR equipment.
Demonstration Coordination at HLRS:
- SC98 coordination supervisor: Michael Resch
- PACX/MPI, URANUS activities: Edgar Gabriel
- Networking supervisor: Paul Christ
- Networking coordination and setup: Robert Stoy
- Visualization supervisor: Ulrich Lang
- Visualization coordination, COVISE/COVER activities: Dirk Rantzau, Andreas Werner, Uwe Wössner.

SAN SIMEON, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say an abandoned panga boat found on a Central Coast beach was possibly used to carry people and drugs
The San Luis Obispo County sheriff's office says the empty boat was discovered Thursday on the shores near San Simeon, California, more than 350 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Authorities say the approximately 30-foot-long boat was ashore for 18 to 24 hours.
Inside the boat, deputies found clothes and fuel. Although no drugs were recovered from the boat, investigators say evidence indicated the boat may have carried narcotics.
The boat was found about 10 miles north of Hearst Castle, the coastal mansion built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.

Nearly 70 years after the liberation of the infamous Auschwitz death camp, Germany's Central Office for the Investigation of Nazi War Crimes continues its efforts to find and prosecute those who oversaw the deaths of millions of Jews, gays, Roma, Poles, political dissidents, and anyone else the Hitler regime considered immoral, defective or troublesome. The latest to be arrested is an 93 year-old former medic. In accordance with German privacy laws, his name has not been released to the public.
… Read the rest
The 93-year-old, who was arrested at his home near Neubrandenburg, north of Berlin, underwent a medical checkup before he faced a judge and was then taken into pre-trial detention.
The former SS member allegedly assisted in the mass murder of prisoners who arrived on eight transports from Germany, Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovenia in September 1944.
Of the arrivals, 1,721 were killed in gas chambers after they were deemed unfit for forced labour at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Oswiecim, southern Poland, prosecutors said.

Two years ago, identical twins Michael and Mark Polish made a striking feature debut with "Twin Falls, Idaho," in which they cast themselves as Siamese twins as a way of exploring the alternating yearning for dependence and independence within all human relationships. As P.T. Barnum might have remarked, it's a hard act to follow, and their "Jackpot" suffers from a classic case of second-film letdown.
"Jackpot" has much that is sweet and funny, but it is not overly original--and it is overly long and not as coherent as it might be. The Polish brothers remain most promising filmmakers, certainly, but they need to guard against self-indulgence and to remain risk takers.
Jon Gries and Garrett Morris star, respectively, as a wannabe country-western star and his manager, who books Gries' Sunny Holiday on a nine-month tour of 43 karaoke lounges in small towns throughout the West. The wiry, personable Sunny hasn't a bad voice and even has a little stage presence, but he's always performing as someone else--George Jones is his hero. Yet Morris' Les is forever pumping him full of sunshine, promising him stardom for sure if he'll just be patient and gain experience and a following on the tour.
Neither of these mutual self-deluders ever considers that Sunny would have to develop his own style and material if he wants a real shot at stardom.
There's something endearing about these dogged naifs, but their adventures on the road are so predictable and stretched out that the two tend to wear out their welcome after a while.
"Jackpot," which experiments effectively with digital technology in its shooting, has the feel of a film that was probably more fun to make than it is to watch. Gries and Morris are in themselves amusing, and there's good work from Darryl Hannah as Sunny's wife, irate at him for deserting her and their small daughter in pursuit of what she with good reason dismisses as nonsense.
Peggy Lipton is one of the women who offer Sunny hospitality and more; Rick Overton is Sunny's attorney brother, and Anthony Edwards--yes, that Anthony Edwards--is another brother, a feckless motel owner.
As amiable as it is, "Jackpot," which takes its title from the Nevada town, doesn't pay off.

Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
Let me start by saying that this guitar is not for everybody. I think some of the glamour this guitar gets is because people write reviews before they play it for hours, gig, record, rehearse, jam, etc. over a number of years. It is also possible that someone who just laid $5000 on a guitar is likely to give a glowing recommendation so they don't feel shortchanged. Don't get me wrong. This is a fantastic guitar, but it doesn't cater to everyone. I have owned this guitar for about 10 years and I know the ins and outs of this thing. You will not play this standing up for extended periods of time. It is heavy, and I am fairly young. Chances are you are over 40 if you are interested in this thing, so you probably won't be able to gig with this without a lighter backup guitar. It also has a very thick neck: which is great if you are sitting down or playing slow, but can be a burden if you are playing for extended periods of time. Middle Pickup does take some getting used to if you play rhythm. I went the bigsby route and again, not for everyone. It is a hassle to restring this thing and has tuning problems if I don't use a thicker gauge of strings. The gold hardware fades fairly quickly but that doesn't bother me too much. This is just my opinion, but I feel like I have to single this guitar out over my others. I am not the type to ever let a guitar sit in its case or behind glass, but it is a historical reissue, very expensive, and can potentially be worth 10 times what I paid for it in 50 years if I take care of it. So when I gig with it I have to take extra precautions to make sure it stays in perfect condition. I can bang a strat up any day but I feel like I have to baby this thing to preserve its virtue. Now if you can see past most of that then this may be the guitar for you. It is extremely versatile, and you can't really pin a specific style that it is made for because it does them all very well. With a good set of flat wounds, you would think this thing was born to play jazz as well as a gibson super 400. The good thing is that most jazz players are sitting down, so you don't have to worry about its weight. This is almost mil-spec to the les paul jimmy paige played so you know it can play rock. Blues is a no-brainer and it does surprisingly well in country. It also handles most modern effects very well. The only styles I wouldn't recommend are most types of metal. This is a must-have for all studio guitarists.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
Ive been playing this guitar for a year, so I think that my opinion has leveled out a bit. Everyone else is correct when they say that the different tones are great. Im not crazy about the burstbukers in mine but besides their extreme brightness, they articulate well. The third pickup just make this thing sound awesome. The neck is fatter than the newer spec models, but I have to admit, I get a growl out of this thing that is unbelievable. I plugged it into my 74 Marshall Lead and its like playing a hammer strong, thick punches of sound. My 87 Les Paul Standard with Bare Knuckle pickups doesnt growl like this thing. It weighs a ton so get a thick strap. I thought the low, flat frets would bother me, but I actually like them. They almost compensate the fat neck for ease-of-playing. I really like it for playing blues and classic rock. I wanted to make it my number one, but everyone said that its not good for metal or heavy stuff. I put a SD pickup booster on the front of my chain and ran it through a Mesa Dual Rec. and it sounds metal. Im still on the fence about making her my No. 1, but she does sound good. I have zero complaints about the quality, but I didnt go for the bigsby. Its strong, well built, and beautiful.
This isn't action packed with features, but what's there is good. The three pickups allow for a nice combo of tones, but one can argue that a five way switch would provide more tonal opportunities.
No quality issues. I didn't get the bigsby, but this thing seems to be built like a tank. I haven't had to make any big adjustments, it stays in tune and it plays great
It's a Gibson, so it's expensive. In terms of value, consider this: It's a production guitar with a custom shop price.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I was lucky enough to buy one used for 3 g's when it still cost 3700 new instead of the crazy 4800 they are now, without the Bigsby. It's my dream guitar though...great fat, smooth tones for clean, and warm, crunchy tones when played through an overdriven amp. The "fretless wonder" low profile frets and 24 3/4 inch scale make playing easy, and the ebony 'board provides a nice feel. Great instrument, and investment. However, I don't think Gibson should have raised the price so high.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
This guitar is just phenomenal! I've played it at a local guitar shop and just fell in love with it till I saw the price. The neck is pretty slick and the frets are great IMO. The 3 pickups really gives the guitar character and the bibsy worked really well. Of course, this is NOT a metal guitar (unless of course you do some mods) but in probably every other genre of music, this will not let you down.The price is a tad high and is NOT recommended for beginners. It is tempting to buy it straight away but make sure you look at EVERYTHING ELSE before making a huge decision like this one.Used: Marshall JVM410 amp, no effect pedals, straight to guitar. Played on clean, dirty, and everything else you can think of setting on amp.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I've seen a guy play an original '59 Black Beauty with 3 PU's, and the sounds are awesome, good for jazz, blues, rock, alternatives. Haighly recommend this one from quality to sweet tones, must have for a guitar lovers.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I have played this guitar once, and personally, I love the sound of it. I wouldn't really recommend it if you play metal (slipknot, mudvayne, devil driver, etc.) but for ANY other type, this guitar is perfect! It has a slick neck for fast playing and "not too big of frets" for jazz-type chords. I would recommend this guitar if you play jazz, rock, emo, blues, etc. I hope this helps with your decision making in choosing a guitar. PEACE!
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
This is an absolutely amazing guitar. Quality and featues are just great, so many tones can be achieve with this instrument, from Blues, Rock, Country and Alternative. The cleanest tones I've heard and endless sustain, going to crunch and dirty tones it just takes a bite out of you. A definitely must have to every serious guitar player. You can't go wrong with this guitar.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I worked for so long for this guitar. It was all worth it too. The bigsby hardware is wonderful. The quality is perfect, the only thing it is expensive. But I love this guitar.
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I have always loved playing Gibson guitars. I also love the Les Paul. This guitar is the king of all the Pauls. It has a warm low end paired with a brilliant shimmering treble. The look of the guitar is stunning. It is something that will last through the ages!
Comments about Gibson Custom '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty Electric Guitar:
I've been playing guitar for 30 years, and this guitar is the finest I've ever owned. Just to let you know I'm comparing it to an Eric Clapton Strat, a Telecaster Elite, and a 1980's Les Paul Custom. This is the best sounding and playable

Since I began working in the job board industry in 1997, I've heard many discussions about pay for performance {PFP} (as opposed to pay to post or pay to access resumes). At one point, CareerBuilder launched a PFP service, but over time it disappeared. In fact, the only companies that have succeeded with PFP have been aggregators such as Indeed and SimplyHired. Of course, from the late 2000s until now, some in the industry have been convinced that these aggregators/job search engines would put traditional job boards out of business.
It hasn't happened. Why?
Honestly, I don't know – but let me posit a few possibilities:
- PFP depends on extremely high volume for the job site to make money – because the site is making much less per posting. There are relatively few high volume sites out there – and I suspect they're making more from their existing arrangements than they would through a switch to PFP.
- PFP is different from what generations of recruiters and HR staff are used to – the traditional job board model was simply an extension of the offline classifieds. PFP is an entirely different model – and as we know, the HR/recruiting world is relatively change-adverse.
- PFP lacks certain advantages of traditional job boards – the ability to build an employer's brand, among others.
However, lest I sound too complacent, let me also point out a few other things:
- Indeed has become the most trafficked employment website in North America (and probably the world).
- Indeed is actively targeting direct employers in North America – and I suspect their sales staff is working hard to educate HR and recruiting staff about the benefits of PFP.
Another point: PFP doesn't have to look like Indeed. Last week Angelist, a network for startups, began testing their own version of PFP. An employer can post a position at no charge – but if they make a hire, they pay Angelist 10% of the salary or .25% of company equity. Interesting, eh? At this point, Angelist is working on the honor system – so we'll see how that pans out. But it's entirely possible that a site with integration into its clients' ATSs could more accurately track hires – and charge accordingly.
So, is a PFP in your site's future? It's worth some thought. And please – let me know if you're already implementing PFP!

Saturday December 8th at 7PM – Sofia Laguna, Kevin Kane, Sara Falk-Mann, Alison Johnston & Peyton Prater
Sofia Laguna is a fearless woman warrior. Sofia Laguna eats squid-ink paella in Spain. When Sofia Laguna writes poems, she makes each word fall in love with each other word. Sometimes, she sets words up on blind dates. Sofia Laguna lulls dragons to sleep with her ukulele, then steals their candy and gives it to her friends. Sofia Laguna is a student at CU—where she explores poetry, translation, and social justice. She is every bit as generous and lovely as her poetry.
Kevin Kane – KBK is the artist/poet layperson you probably met once on that delayed flight from Vancouver. He's a conceptual art lover, a former professional athlete, and a wayfaring, flight-impaired songbird. He's the owner/operator of the forthcoming poem-machine, Slow World Press.
Sara Falk-Mann – Short like crip walker, long time stone thrower. She's talks talk and goes on walks. Wisconsin home body turned CO refugee. Loves fixies, words, rimmed glasses, and the month of April. Recently returning from her travels abroad her thoughts are mostly consumed with counting sheep, eating ice cream, and Lord of the Rings Marathons. Give it up for SFM, writer turned poet.
Alison Johnston – She's got her vans on, but they look like sneakers. One part oceania, one part winter, with more soul than Lady Gaga —A loves skis, high fives, and red lipstick. When she is not in a black hoodie, A is breaking hearts and finger dancing. Her favorite font is Comic Sans. Poetry game vicious. Blonde as. One L. Aspiring copywriter. Fresh out of New Zealand, putting the A back into American, @alisonmjohnston everybody.
For those of you who don't know Peyton Prater, she is one of the most crafty people you will ever meet. And by crafty, I mean, artsy and crafty. She is a woman of many trades. From circle scarfs, to putting birds on things, Peyton's artistic style is what can be described as simple elegance. Peyton brings this quality of work to everything in her life, from thoughtful handmade cards for friends, to her professional and academic life, where she has been studying how to incorporate poetry into schools. Peyton has just finished her student teaching practicum at East High School, in Denver, where she grew up, and will soon be leaving the Rocky Mountain air for some sweet South Carolina air.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says the Bush administration is still working on details of a rescue package for domestic automakers.
While a key senator says the relief package could reach $15 billion for General Motors and Chrysler, White House press secretary Dana Perino said Tuesday the package is still being finalized.
She said the goal was still to try to prevent a "disorderly bankruptcy."
President George W. Bush said earlier that a bankruptcy in the U.S. auto industry would hurt the economy while the U.S. deals with the recession. GM and Chrysler have said they could run out of cash within weeks without support from the government.

Reports of the Decline of the Religious Right are Premature
Rocking and reeling from NovemberŌĆÖs election debacle, the Republican Party has been desperately trying to find its footing. A major goal ŌĆō as stated in its post-election Growth and Opportunity Project report ŌĆō has Party leadership looking to rebrand and re-market itself to younger people minorities and gays, an almost impossible task considering the power of its conservative Christian base.
Despite its stated desire to reboot, the Republican National Committee came out of its April meet-up in Los Angeles affirming that it can not and will not be embracing change, at least as far as "The Gay" is concerned.
According to ABC News, RNC members ŌĆ£voted unanimously to reaffirm the language in the GOP platform defining marriage ŌĆśas the union of one man and one woman.ŌĆÖ The resolution went further, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to ŌĆśuphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Just prior to the LA meeting, the Family Research CouncilŌĆÖs Tony Perkins issued the kind of warning that scares GOP/RNC officials. In his email newsletter, Perkins urged supporters to withhold financial donations from the Party until it rejects any compromises on traditional social values.
Tony PerkinsŌĆÖ Washington Update, the daily online newsletter of the Family Research Council, the Republican National Committee pointed out before the Los Angeles confab that the RNC is ŌĆ£feeling [it] from social conservativesŌĆØ: ŌĆ£After suggesting that a more gay-and abortion-friendly party might appeal to voters, the Republican National Committee is facing a revolt from one of the strongest blocs of its coalition. Together with 12 other conservative organizations, FRC made it quite clear what the RNC stood to lose by running left-of-center on issues like life and marriage. ŌĆśWe respectfully warn GOP leadership that an abandonment of its principles will necessarily result in the abandonment of our constituents to their support.ŌĆÖ"
NBC newsŌĆÖ Michael OŌĆÖBrien reported that ŌĆ£Thirteen social conservatives, representing various influential groups, wrote [RNC chair Reince] Priebus ahead of the RNC's [recent] quarterly meeting ŌĆ" in Los Angeles to sternly rebuke the conclusions of a post-election report that advised Republican elected officials to adopt a softer tone toward social issues.ŌĆØ
The letter ŌĆō launched as a preemptive strike -- warned the Party that they are making ŌĆ£a huge historical mistake if it intends to dismantle this coalition by marginalizing social conservatives and avoiding the issues which attract and energize them by the millions.ŌĆØ
Relating to the PartyŌĆÖs stated goal of expanding minority outreach, the letter pointed out that ŌĆ£Minority outreach, to be successful, needs to be personal and genuine. It needs to focus on issues where there is mutual agreement like traditional marriage, vouchers, and abortion. ThatŌĆÖs how relationships are formed and trust is built to work together to elect candidates who support these issues.ŌĆØ
The letter maintains that ŌĆ£many homosexuals are active in the GOP because they agree with Republicans on economic issues. The fact that the Party is strongly committed to traditional marriage has not prevented their involvement through GOProud or Log Cabin Republicans. We deeply resent the insinuation that we have treated homosexuals unkindly personally.
ŌĆ£ŌĆ". Republicans would do well to persuade young voters why marriage between a man and a woman is so important rather than abandon thousands of years of wisdom to please them.ŌĆØ
Signatories to the letter included: Gary Bauer, President, American Values;
Paul Caprio, Director, Family-Pac Federal; Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List; Dr. James Dobson, President and Founder, Family Talk Action; Andrea Lafferty, President, Traditional Values Coalition; Tom Minnery, Executive Director, CitizenLink; William J. Murray, Chairman, Religious Freedom Coalition; Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council; Sandy Rios, VP of Government Affairs, Family-Pac Federal; Austin Ruse, President, Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute; Phyllis Schlafly, President, Eagle Forum; Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, Founder, Traditional Values Coalition; and, Tim Wildmon, President, American Family Association.
Last month, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) claimed that evangelicals would ŌĆ£walk" away from the GOP if the party pivots on gay marriage. And last week, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R) said that it would be "suicidal" for the GOP to embrace marriage equality.
The FRCŌĆÖs Perkins ended his newsletter with a recommendation that, ŌĆ£Until the RNC and the other national Republican organizations grow a backbone and start defending core principles, don't give them a dime of your hard-earned money. If you want to invest in the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who reflect your values and organizations you trustŌĆölike FRC Action. At least then you can relax, knowing that your money will be spent advancing faith, family, and freedom!ŌĆØ
Not surprisingly, by the end of the RNCŌĆÖs Spring meeting the 168-member body approved the following resolutions against same-sex marriage and it called for the U.S. Supreme Court o uphold the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and CaliforniaŌĆÖs anti-gay Prop. 8:
ŌĆ£Resolved the Republican National Committee affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America, and further:
ŌĆ£Resolved the Republican National Committee implores the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on CaliforniaŌĆÖs Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.ŌĆØ
Over the years, conservative Christian evangelicals have threatened to leave the Party time and time again. It has been an empty threat. After all, they would either have to sit out major elections to teach the GOP a lesson, form their own Party and put up their own candidates, or do the unthinkable; throw in their lot with the Democrats.

Inspiration Expiration Hack:
So, you're super Inspired but you don't have any Energy left for you to use. What should you do? Let it all get wasted? Here, do this instead: start by "Pausing" your game by selecting the SHOP tab, then open
up another browser window and do something else for a while. When you return, the game will have been paused, but the Energy clock never stopped ticking, so you'll have a bunch of Energy, and all of that non-wasted Inspiration.
Easy Puddle Removal:

raise the value of your homestead: Buy the "Stolen Kiss" and you will notice that it increases the value of your homestead by 7750 Simoleans, with only the 2750 Social Points having been spent.
Free Moneymaking Showers:
Quick money scheme or alternatively, free shower scheme: Use your friends' shower instead. Each time you do that, you get 2 Social points and 5 Simoleans, and it doesn't even cost you any Energy!

LittleBigPlanet 2 Takes This Battle to the Sky with an Awesome Afterburner Homage
2 Nov 2010 | Posted by Anthony | 3 Comments
Sackboy and his Sackbot's have struck again, with another gem that makes me feel inadequate about my creativity. Using the beta, an adept gamer has created "Sackfighter Dogfight", a game that owes more than a little to Sega's classic jet-fighter shooter. Complete with barrel rolls, cinematic camera movements and even a gun that can overheat, LBP 2 just shot up high on my want list. Take a look at this:
What say you? Impressed yet? This thing isn't even out of beta and it's making that calculator from the first game look like child's play. Anyone going to get this? Do you have any game ideas you want to share?

Irrigation water runs onto an alfalfa field in Mason Valley. Water will be even more of a precious commodity this year, thanks to a below-average snowpack and low reservoir levels.
- Filed Under
Looking for the best way to explain to farmers what to expect from this water year, federal Watermaster Jim Shaw asked them to look back.
Speaking during the April 5 meeting of the Walker River Irrigation District about this spring and summer's projected stream flows, Shaw said this year's conditions are very similar to the relatively dry years of 1992 and 2002.
Citing projections from Nevada State Basin Outlook Support for April by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Shaw said Walker River Basin stream flows are expected to be well below average. ...

Bill Polian: Dallas Cowboys should draft UCLA OLB/DE Anthony Barr, not a safety
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay each released new mock drafts on Tuesday. In both, the ESPN draft experts had the Dallas Cowboys selecting Louisville safety Calvin Pryor with the 16th overall pick.
During a Thursday night ESPN draft special, Kiper and McShay rotated picking for each team in the first round. When the Cowboys were on the clock at 16, it was Kiper's turn to make a selection.
Pryor was already off the board, so Kiper went with Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. While the Cowboys could certainly afford an upgrade at free safety, former NFL general manager Bill Polian completely disagreed with the pick.
Polian, who was analyzing the choices during the show, thought the selection should've been UCLA outside linebacker/defensive end Anthony Barr.
"Defensive line. Pass rush. In the Tampa-2, which is what Dallas plays, you have to rush the front four," Polian said. "Take Barr from UCLA. He'll be fine. He's got all the right numbers as a seven or nine technique, which is where he'll play. His lack of physicality against the run won't be a liability. He's a much better pick than the safety."
Barr dropped all the way to 30 in the Kiper/McShay combo draft. It should be noted that each selection reflected the experts call and not what they think the actual teams want.
They completed the first three rounds here on ESPN.com.
McShay had Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan falling to the Cowboys at No. 47. Many mock drafts have predicted Jernigan to Dallas in the first round, but because he projects to be a one-technique tackle, it seems unlikely that the Cowboys would use the 16th overall pick on him. Getting him at 47 would be an absolute steal.
Kiper had Stanford offensive guard David Yankey going to Dallas at No. 78.
"A guard addition is a necessity," Kiper wrote, "and Yankey not only provides an upgrade, but can also fill in at tackle in case of injury."
Interesting side note: When Polian was discussing Aaron Donald, he mentioned that the Pittsburgh defensive tackle is the perfect fit to play the three-technique spot. Polian called the three-technique the most important position in a Tampa-2 scheme. To give you a better idea of how important it is, Polian said a Tampa-2 team could make the argument that they should draft Donald over South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Many are projecting Clowney, who McShay calls a "once-in-a-decade type of natural talent," to be the draft's first overall selection.
Donald seems like the perfect fit for the Cowboys, however, most project him to be drafted between 10 and 14.

Sony quietly slips out lipstick-sized Walkman
updated 01:20 pm EST, Thu March 1, 2007
Sony E010 Walkman
Although making its second announcement with less fanfare than for the video-capable A800 line, Sony on Thursday has also introduced the E01 series of players. These sequels to last year's E00 models have a more conservative look but gain a three-line, color OLED with support for album art -- an unusual feature in its class. The audio-only flash jukebox plays AAC, ATRAC, MP3, and WMA songs for as long as 28 hours on a single charge and (as before) plugs directly into a USB port for charging and music sync.
Unlike the A800, the E01 series is split by features as well as by storage: the 1GB E013F and 2GB E015F both have FM radios, while the basic E013 and E015 go without. Prices and ship dates for the Walkman range haven't been revealed, suggesting a release further ahead than the April launch of the larger devices introduced today.

A man shot Tuesday in a university district neighborhood remains in critical condition as detectives continue to look for the shooter, Anchorage police said.
So far, police have no description of a possible suspect to release. And detectives were unable to interview the victim, 39-year-old Charles Sherrill, at a hospital Wednesday, said police Sgt. Slawomir Markiewicz.
According to a police spokesman, Sherrill called 911 about 1:15 p.m. Tuesday saying he'd been shot in the upper leg on 42nd Avenue near Dale Street, less than a mile from Anchorage Police Department headquarters. Markiewicz said Wednesday the shooting happened outside in or near the street. Officers swarmed the area, shut down the street, and Sherrill was taken to a hospital and soon in surgery, police said.
Sherrill was either unconscious or otherwise unable to speak to two detectives who visited him at the hospital Wednesday afternoon, Markiewicz said. Several witnesses have told the investigators what they saw and heard, but no motive has become apparent yet, the sergeant said.
"We're still investigating, and frankly we don't have it," he said. "We are still trying to piece it together, find out what happened and why it happened. I'm confident we will get there."
