As soon as the Williams Formula 1 team inked an engine supply deal with Renault in 2011, auto journos salivated at the thought of a new Renault Clio Williams. (This was after the return of Gordini, during the rumors of the return of Alpine, before the rumors of the Initiale brand, and long before the new Clio was introduced.) The original Clio Williams arrived in 1993 to celebrate Nigel Mansell's 1992 F1 World Championship in his Williams-Renault. In fact, Williams had nothing to do with the hat

State police aren't the only law enforcement officials concerned about a recent upswing in the number of scams targeting seniors.
State police aren't the only law enforcement officials concerned about a recent upswing in the number of scams targeting seniors.
Whitestown police said several town residents have reported being taken by such scams in the last few months, with the total money lost exceeding $100,000.
Sgt. Mark Sojda said there have been at least five reported scam cases in the town in the last few weeks, and that dozens of other residents reported receiving suspicious phone calls or e-mails.
The extensive scope of the problem came to light when Sojda and police Chief Donald Wolanin visited senior groups in Whitestown and New York Mills to inform them of the risk.
"You're talking probably 100 seniors were there, and probably half of them said they haven't actually been taken by the scam, but they've been contacted by people," Sojda said.
Some of those who were taken in suffered serious financial blows as a result. One man lost more than $50,000 after he received a letter saying he'd won a $1.5 million lottery jackpot, but needed to pay a handling fee to claim it.
Another wired $13,000 to a man pretending to be his grandson who claimed he had been arrested while vacationing in Spain and needed bail money. A similar scam was among those state police issued formal warnings about in February.
Sojda said there doesn't appear to be a pattern to who is targeted except for the fact that they are all senior citizens.
"It's almost like fishing," Sojda said. "They throw a net out there and if they hook one out of every hundred, this poor guy's out $50,000."
The perpetrators also are ruthless: When police began investigating the lottery scam, they found the victim's phone number had been changed without his knowledge. Apparently, one of the scam artists was able to solicit the man's Social Security number and other personal information, and used it to ensure they were the only one's contacting him, Sojda said.
The Oneida County Office for Aging has since stepped in to assist that victim, he added.
In addition to the tips state police issued last week, Sojda said he would recommend that people check with their elderly relatives to see if they've been receiving calls, e-mails or letters that appear fraudulent or "too good to be true."
"I think some of them that get targeted are the ones that don't have anybody," he said.
The Whitestown Police Department is investigating scam complaints with help from the county District Attorney's Office and the Federal Trade Commission, although any crimes originating outside the U.S. likely will prove impossible to prosecute, he said. State police previously said they've received help from the FBI and other federal agencies as well.

'Incoherent' driver takes aim at exotic car dealership
PORTLAND, Ore. - Police took a woman into custody early Thursday morning after she allegedly slammed her car into an exotic car dealership.
Investigators said the woman, identified as Francesca Lavezzo, 33, was found "incoherent" and momentarily resisted arrest when she and her car were located several blocks from the Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo dealership on Northeast 122nd Avenue in Portland.
The dealership specializes in the sale of high-end sports cars, including Ferraris, Maseratis and other high-performance - and expensive - automobiles.
Police said Lavezzo apparently drove her Honda sedan through a heavy chain blocking an entrance and proceeded to strike the building several times, shattering glass and damaging both entry ways and garage doors.
None of the vehicles inside the business were damaged, according to an initial assessment at the site by police.
Officers located Lavezzo a few blocks away at a gas station near Northeast 122nd and Northeast Halsey Street after reports that a car had hit a fence.
Police said Lavezzo struggle briefly with officers trying to take her into custody. Officers said they do not believe that alcohol was a factor in the crash but that other intoxicants may be involved.
Lavezzo was charged with one count of Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree, one count of Felony Elude, and one count of Hit and Run.
Ron Tonkin employees arrived at the dealership early Thursday morning to assess the damage.

EL DORADO HILLS — Roughly four weeks ago many of us made a resolution or two on or around New Year's. Get organized, spend more time with family, go back to school and countless other goals were considered before the ball dropped and we rang in the new year.
Likely, the most prominent — and important — of those resolutions is to get in better shape. Everyone wants that beach body but that's hard to obtain and often becomes a resolution that's reused over the years.
But with the arrival of CrossFit Bios in El Dorado Hills, there's a new approach to better fitness. Owned and operated by Peter Santos, CrossFit Bios aims to change the way workouts are done by combining, among others, strength, speed, endurance, coordination and balance.
"Five years ago I was working as a firefighter in Tucson and they introduced the idea of CrossFit to the station. I started doing it at home, and my overall fitness improved almost immediately. I decided to get my Level 1 CrossFit certificate, and moved to California a couple years ago. I started training at another CrossFit gym, and decided to open my own," Santos said.
CrossFit Bios currently runs two fitness classes, and one yoga class. But what makes CrossFit unique compared to traditional gyms is how CrossFit adjusts for each individual.
"A huge part of CrossFit is focusing on the idea of basic human movement. Instead of doing isolated movements as part of a workout or doing the same motion for a long period of time, we do shorter, high-intensity workouts that improve your core and your body's cardiovascular and respiratory capacity," Santos said.
The wave of CrossFit is sweeping the nation but there's still many who aren't familiar with it and hesitant to leave their traditional fitness methods. However, Santos says that CrossFit Bios works for every level of fitness.
"It really doesn't matter what level you are at when it comes to CrossFit. We've had people come in that are just looking to get in better shape, and we've had people that are athletes looking to improve. Everyone has their own goals and aspirations when it comes to CrossFit, and we help them achieve them."
CrossFit Bios has also done away with some traditional gym workouts and replaced them with exercises that Santos says "increase functionality rather than form." Pull-ups take the place of curl-ups, lateral raise is replaced with push-presses, and squats are used instead of leg extensions.
While the business of fitness has remained fairly stagnant when it comes to growth over the past few decades, CrossFit Bios is changing the way their members think. By combining conventional workouts to strengthen the core with new exercises that improve the overall performance of one's bodies, CrossFit is here to stay.
CrossFit Bios is located at 4930 Hillsdale Circle in Unit 2 of the El Dorado Hills Business Park. Their phone number is 530-645-2467, and can be contacted by email at [email protected]

November 27, 2015
Are we all ready for a spring teaser? Today will mark highs around the 60 degree mark with mostly sunny skies. I think the consensus is that most of us would LOVE to keep this type of weather around for a while. Unfortunately that will not happen as this weekend as we not only head back down to the 40s and 50s, but it appears damp. Saturday we will see spotty showers from start to finish, but it doesn't appear to be a washout by any means. Come St. Patty's Day we can expect that washout we've been talking about for a few days now.
Next week doesn't show any signs of change as we start off with wet weather. Cooler temperatures appear to stick with us through next week as we have to wait a while longer for spring to arrive.

LDAP authentication only works for users in Administrators group

I am trying to enable LDAP authentication in jforum. I am running it on Weblogic 9.2 server, with a Oracle backend. My LDAP server is an ADAM (Acvtive Directory Application Mode) instance.
Initially I defined a ActiveDirectoryProvider in my weblogic security realm (called myrealm), and updated the web.xml of jforum with the following:
<login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>myrealm</realm-name> </login-config>
But it did not work.
Then I modified the following in SystemGlobal.properties:
database.connection.implementation = net.jforum.DataSourceConnection #datasource configured in Weblogic database.datasource.name = jdbc.JforumDB login.authenticator = net.jforum.sso.LDAPAuthenticator ldap.login.prefix = CN= ldap.login.suffix = CN=Users,CN=TopContainer ldap.server.url = ldap://localhost:389 ldap.lookup.suffix = CN=Users,CN=TopContainer
Now the problem is that only users who belong to the Administrators group in my LDAP instance are reflected in the jforum application.
Any idea why?
My LDAP instance has all users under the following container:
and groups under the following container:

A couple of thought here...
First, the authenticator (and SSO mechanism) only deal with the question: Is this user who they say they are? It does not deal with "What rights does this user have?" or "User information" issues. For a good post on this see:
(and check my bookmarks for various other articles).
To answer the "is this user who the say they are" question, these mechanisms validate the user's credentials against the LDAP server and then adds a jForum user entry that matches the person's id (and maybe sets their e-mail address from LDAP).
So, in the jforum admin screens, you will only see the users who have logged into jforum. All the other users in LDAP are not "seen" by the admin screens (because they arent in jForum's db yet).
Perhaps this is what you are "seeing"?
Another possibility is due to the fact that the default LDAP code doesn't search any "sub-branches of the LDAP directory. It just creates a DN from the user id and the prefix and looks at this. Are the missing users in a sub-branch?
If this is the case, you'll need to modify the supplied code to do the search you need.
An alternative might be to go back to the container layer authentications (e.g. the web.xml stuff you were doing the first time). But add in the RemoteUser SSO code to jForum. This way, if the container security follows the specs, it would authenticate against LDAP and then set the user principal in the request object. The Remote User SSO code will use this to log in the user (and create a simple "jforum" user stub if needed).

For New Yorkers, summer means sunny days in the park, the return of shorts, streetside mango vendors, and humidity — lots of it. I grew up in Miami, which is essentially the same as growing up inside a sauna. My adolescence was basically made up of one frizzy-haired disaster after the other. I've since learned that on humid days, the best thing to do is throw all your hair up.
So, while I love my topknot as much as the next girl, I thought I'd mix things up a bit and try out these three super chic updos. They'll keep your hair off your neck and stay sleek even in the city's 90% humidity. Bring it on, NYC.

The Zigzag Ponytail
Step 1: Create a zigzag part from the front of your hairline that extends to the middle of your scalp, using a rattail comb. This is best on unwashed hair.
Step 2: Apply a mattifying gel to slick back your hair.
Step 3: Comb your hair back into a tight low ponytail for a sleek summer 'do.
Photo: Courtesy of Aimee Blaut.
The Braided Updo
Step 1: Use a rattail comb to create a center part.
Step 2: Create two French braids on either side of your head starting from the front of your scalp and working your way back. Tie the ends with elastics.
Step 3: Wrap one of the braids back into a low bun. Use bobby pins to secure your bun in place.
Step 4: Wrap the second braid around the bun you just created.
Step 5: Gently tug on the front portions of your braid to loosen up the area, creating a more tousled look.
Step 6: Spray the front and back of your head with a generous helping of hairspray.

The Extra Volume Ponytail
Step 1: Apply a dime-size of heat-protecting serum to clean wet hair and blow it dry.
Step 2: Flip the hair on your crown upside down. Spritz with hairspray, then tease the hair, using a comb. This is to create volume on just the top of your crown.
Step 3: Sweep all of your hair up into a high ponytail. Apply a lightweight mouse to smooth down any flyaways.
Step 4: Finish with a spritz of hairspray.

HOUSTON, Alaska — A recall petition was filed Wednesday morning in an effort to oust Houston Mayor Virgie Thompson.
The 10 residents who signed the recall petition accuse Thompson of embezzlement. They claim what while Thompson was out-of-state last November, she still filled out her timecard and accepted a paycheck.
Thompson was selected to serve as mayor by fellow council members. If recalled from the council, she automatically loses her position as mayor.
Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor James Johansen is facing assault charges. Eyewitnesses allege Johansen threatened a 75-year-old man during a city council meeting.
According to court documents Johansen was charged with fourth-degree assault, which involves causing fear of injury. He was not taken into custody and is scheduled to be arraigned April 14 in Palmer Court.

Keep your charging cords neatly wrapped and secure with the Quirky PowerCurl Charger Cable Organizer! Get one for your Mac laptop or a mini one for your iPhone! Efficient and effective cable management is an ongoing battle you face with your iPhone and Mac charger when you're on the move as the cords and cables always seem to find a way to loosen and tangle with other nearby cables. However, rather than carry a small, individually labeled bag to separate the charger from other cables and cords, use the PowerCurl to organize and keep your charger and extension cord organized and together in one container. The PowerCurl has a strong plastic two piece square-shaped notch cut out that is very firm and sturdy to house the charger body, and has two channels for the thin and thick charging cords to feed into wrapping channels. After wrapping, a snap on cover is provided to secure the cords, and two access holes are available on top to expose the charger ends for easy access. Once wrapped, a flexible circular durable silicone cover is slipped over the charger holder to keep the cords safe, secure, and untangled. The PowerCurl not only prevents cord tangling, but it also elevates the charger for improved air circulation and cooling so it doesn't overheat. With the PowerCurl, you can organize your cables in a nice, neat form to throw into any bag unhindered and undisturbed by whatever else is floating around in there. Available in 4 different sizes: Mini 5 Watt Charger Cable Organizer – Grey or Teal, Quirky PowerCurl 45 Watt Charger Cable Organizer, Quirky PowerCurl 60 Watt Charger Cable Organizer, or Quirky PowerCurl 85 Watt Charger Cable Organizer.
A Smart Egg Tray That Keeps Track of the Freshness of Your Eggs
- View amount of eggs in tray through app on mobile device
- Receive notifications when eggs go bad and are close to going bad
- Program alerts when running low on eggs
- Blinking LED lets you know which egg is oldest when you're ready to cook
- Holds up to 14 eggs
- Compatible with iOS 6 and above, iPhone 4 and above, and Android OS 2.2 and higher
If you've ever wondered how long your eggs have been sitting in the refrigerator and wondered whether they're still ok to eat, the Wink Egg Minder Smart Egg Tray is for you! When paired with the Wink app, you can see how many eggs you currently have left and which eggs have gone or are about to go bad. From Quirky and GE comes the Wink Egg Minder Smart Egg Tray that adds a new level of intelligence to your everyday lives and the kitchen. The Egg Minder features a built-in Wi-Fi chip to allow it to sync up to your smart device via the Wink app. Once paired with your smartphone or tablet you can now open the app from anywhere to view how many eggs you have which can be incredibly handy on impromptu grocery shopping trips or if you simply just don't think to check on your egg count before heading out the door. This alone is very convenient but the Egg Minder can still do more. In the actual egg crate next to each egg is an LED light that will alert you to which egg of the bunch is the oldest and should be used next and when that egg is removed from the Egg Minder the next oldest will be indicated and so on. The Egg Minder will also communicate with you through various push-notifications to alert you to when an egg has gone bad, an egg is close to going bad, and even set the Egg Minder to notify you when you are running low on eggs. The Wink app will allow you to choose at what amount of eggs left you want to be notified since a family of five is more likely to run out of eggs quicker than someone living on their own. Up to 14 eggs can be stored in the Egg Minder at one time and to keep the eggs safe while in your refrigerator it also comes with a protective covering. It is powered by two AA batteries (included) and is compatible iOS 6 and above, iPhone 4 and above, and Android OS 2.2 and higher. Read More

Tim Wise
City Lights Books, 2010
Reviewed by Joseph Nevins
Tim Wise opens his compelling and formidable book with words from Barack Obama's famous 2004 speech to the Democratic National Convention: "There's not a black America, and a white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America."
These words—and the larger speech—catapulted Obama to the national spotlight. And it is these words, and the accompanying worldview that the United States has largely transcended its racial divisions, that Wise strongly contests. "[W]e can't all 'just be Americans,'" he asserts, "because we never have been just that."
In Colorblind, Wise explores the implications of the Obama victory on the country's racial discourse. His disturbing, but quite convincing, conclusion is that the Obama administration's embrace of what Wise calls "post-racial liberalism"—a combination of race-neutral rhetoric and public policy that avoid race-conscious remedies—makes the challenging of ongoing racism more difficult.
Wise's book is intended for those individuals who think that "paying less attention to race and racial identity is the proper response to racial inequity," and also for those who "passionately wish to see inequities eradicated, and are prepared to push forward an agenda to accomplish that." As such, Wise does not aim to prove that racism exists to convince skeptical readers that it is something they should care about. Instead, he seeks to educate and sensitize the already anti-racist of its breadth and depth by drawing impressively on a wide variety of academic studies. In doing so, he powerfully illuminates the complexities and subtleties of overt and sub-conscious race-making—and its attendant inequalities and indignities.
Wise displays appreciation for the difficulties any political leader would face—no less the country's first African-American president—trying to overturn white supremacy, and thus for the need to tread lightly vis-à-vis the sensibilities of the white electorate. And it is a tactic, Wise acknowledges, that most likely aided Obama's presidential bid. But carried to its logical conclusion, he asserts, a post-racial politics will likely end up only taking "antiracism off the table, while leaving racism—in both its institutional and interpersonal forms—dangerously in place." Worse yet, it can even exacerbate racial inequities as the experience of the period between the 1940s and mid-1960s illustrates. Then, too, the federal government pursued "universal" policies and largely ignored racism, one result being a widening of the income gap between blacks and whites.
While one could point to the fact that it was a time of Jim Crow and an era previous to the gains of the Civil Rights movement as a key difference with today, Wise forcibly demonstrates the strong persistence of racism by an in-depth look at how it plays out in four realms: jobs, housing, education, and healthcare. Here, Wise takes on those who argue that race has declining significance in the United States, and that attacking class-based inequities is a smarter route to facilitating the well-being of the racially marginalized.
Still, the question of politics—in terms of what remedial course of action is most viable—remains. In this regard, Wise rejects what is presented as "pragmatic"—the notion that the only way to win sufficient (white) support for progressive social policy is by embracing a colorblind universalism that rejects race-specific cures.
Instead, drawing on research, he contends that, while white racial animus persists in myriad ways, there is also a strong societal commitment to fairness, one that transcends racial distinctions. Such a chemistry leads whites to think negatively about racialized "others" "only when the racial element of a policy consideration is subtle." When made explicit and convincingly justified on the basis of comprehensive evidence, racialized resentments become less likely precisely because of the embrace of fairness. Given this, Wise asserts, it's all-the-more important—and pragmatic—to actually talk about racism and make its sources and manifestations an explicit target of public policy debates.
In the end, Wise calls for a paradigm of "illuminated individualism," a form of color-consciousness that recognizes the individuality of each of us, but also how group-specific factors shape who we are. It is only through such recognition and a concomitant politics, Wise suggests, that we can fully dismantle the many-headed monster that is racism.
It is a project that Tim Wise has greatly aided through Colorblind, a must-read for all who want to put an end to racial inequalities.

I'd have to agree with Giblet/Venom on this. Boards just isn't as good as it used to be. ( my humble opinion of course, I will explain why )
The two main problems I see with it are,
1) lack of tolerance of new users/elitism
2) annoying repetition of questions.
A lot of new users will post something perhaps stupid/controversial and be slammed by the older members. Fair enough, if they keep doing it, then persecute them, but up until that point a bit of leeway should be given. Instead of shouting shut the **** up at them, tell them politely, no we don't do that here.
Or if a guy with 1 post replies to a question with an intelligent technical reply, he also get's slammed. The elitist crap coming in again. ( hangover from the quake days as well ) Mod's should crack down on this.
Repetition of questions. Have FAQ's on the boards, and when someone asks a bog standard question, point them to the faq and lock the topic. That simple. Mod's can judge as to whether or not the topic deserves debate/conversation.
anyway, my 2 euro cents.

WASHINGTON — The partial government shutdown has halted death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers, but the House has now voted unanimously for legislation that would restore those benefits.
Its unclear if the Democratic-led Senate will take up the bill, which the House passed by a 425-0 vote.
The Pentagon typically pays out $100,000 within three days of a soldiers death. But it says the shutdown means theres no authority now to pay the money.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has blamed the Obama administration for withholding the payments. But White House spokesman Jay Carney says Republicans are at fault for shutting down the government.
Carney says President Barack Obama was disturbed to learn of the problem and that the administration hoped to find a solution Wednesday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Friday, Jaguars fans got their first opportunity to see and hear from new head coach Gus Bradley at a morning press conference.
Bradley, who's spent the last four years in Seattle as their defensive coordinator, was well received by fans at Profections Barbershop on Jacksonville's Southside.
Barber Chris Bentley, who's a Jaguars fan, says he likes the energy and enthusiasm Bradley shows.
Most importantly, Bentley appreciates the fact that Bradley hasn't made any unrealistic promises.
Carlos Bentley, a Jaguars season ticket holder, says he thinks Bradley will be a fine head coach, only if the Jaguars build a roster filled with impact.
Bradley has no head-coaching experience, but Jags fan Shaun Dunnigan says he doesn't have any problems with that.
In fact, he thinks it's a plus.
Dunnigan believes Bradley will have a chip on his shoulder to prove that no head-coaching experience is really necessary.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- Justin Allgaier could have coasted to victory under caution -- but he ran out of gas, handing a victory to Reed Sorenson in a chaotic finish to Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide race at Road America.
Allgaier took the lead from Michael McDowell on the second of three attempts at a green-white-checkered overtime finish. Allgaier held the lead after the final restart and appeared to have the win sealed up when the yellow flag waved for the final time because of another rash of crashes on the track.
But Allgaier didn't have enough gas to make it to the finish after running so many extra laps on the four-mile track, and making it back to the finish line is required under NASCAR rules even though the race finished under yellow.

Police in Boyle County say the two men they arrested for a stabbing were walking down the street covered in blood. They're now both in jail.
Our cameras were rolling early this morning as police took 20-year-olds Johnny Wilson and Zachary Jacobs to jail. Police say hours earlier, the two men assaulted 32 year-old Jason Naylor at his home on Wells Landing Road. Naylor was able to call 911. Police say he was stabbed nine times in the head, neck and chest.
Naylor was taken by ambulance to UK hospital where he's still listed in serious condition. Sheriff's deputies began searching for the assailants. A Danville Police officer was the one who spotted Jacobs and Wilson walking along a road.
"I understand they were both covered in blood so their clothing was taken from them as part of evidence," said Boyle County Sheriff Marty Elliott.
Police say all three men knew each other but they're still trying to determine the cause of the stabbing. Sheriff Elliott says there may have been other people involved in this crime.

MLB notebook: Wife of Mariners OF charged with fraud
Pirates/MLB Videos
The wife of Mariners outfielder Carlos Peguero is facing federal wire-fraud charges for allegedly using a debit card belonging to the wife of star pitcher Felix Hernandez to make nearly $180,000 in online purchases, according to sources and court documents.
Maria Jacqueline Peguero is charged in U.S. District Court in Tacoma with three counts of wire fraud, which carries a possible penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
A U.S Secret Service agent said Peguero made 60 unauthorized purchases in 2012 from upscale retailer Saks Fifth Avenue.
Peguero, 26, appeared in two games this season for Seattle and most of the season with Class AAA Tacoma.
Hernandez, the 2010 AL Cy Young winner, went 12-10 with a 3.04 ERA this season. He signed a seven-year, $175 million deal in February.
A-Rod denies report
Alex Rodriguez paid $305,000 for evidence that could be used in the case involving the Biogenesis of America drug clinic, the Daily News reported. The allegation was denied by a spokesman for the Yankees third baseman.
The newspaper said Rodriguez and his representatives confirmed the payments during testimony this week in the player's grievance hearing. Rodriguez is attempting to overturn his 211-game suspension.
Citing an unidentified source familiar the proceedings, the News reported Rodriguez and his surrogates spent the money to purchase evidence that included videotapes, documents and affidavits.
"It's not true and as usual not only are certain parties leaking information but they are leaking false information," Rodriguez spokesman Ron Berkowitz said in an email.
Ban on HP collisions?
Club officials believe a ban on home-plate collisions will come soon after a pair of collisions during Game 5 of the ALCS, ESPN reported.
"At this point, I don't know who would argue to keep it, or what their argument would be," said one team official who believes general managers will address the topic at their meetings next month. "There is no reasoned argument to keep it (in the game)."
Tigers catcher Alex Avila strained the patellar tendon in his left knee in a collision with Boston's David Ross, but returned for Game 6.
Around the league
Don Mattingly is expected to return as the Dodgers' manager for at least one more season, ESPN reported. ... Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez recently had arthroscopic surgery to remove "loose bodies" from his right elbow, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. ... The low-payroll Astros may consider trying to make a run at star outfielder and free agent-to-be Shin-Soo Choo, CBSSports.com reported.

What a weekend for entertainment in Jamestown. Two great events offered something for everyone.
The first event that was on Thursday and Friday was the encore performance of "The Purple Orchid List,†written by Jen Waters.
It's a true story and it was pretty out there. I thought my life was odd, but some of the things that happen in this play put me to shame.
I won't go into any details because I don't want to ruin to play for anyone who has yet to see it. I'm just going to say it was wonderfully written, funny and the acting from the local cast including Waters herself was great.
After the play the audience was told it three other area cities approached the acting group because they want "The Purple Orchid List,†in their own towns.
If you missed it again, it's time for a road trip.
On the completely opposite side of the spectrum I went to Hairball on Saturday night.
I was blown away, as was expected.
Here are some stats from that show. I had beer spilt on me at least half a dozen times, I broke up one fight, and one dude got a little too close to me.
But it was all in good fun. The music was spot on, and the effects were pretty spectacular.
That's all for now. Stay classy Jamestown.

MS College/Career Standards
What are Mississippi College- and Career-Ready Standards (MCCRS)?
The Mississippi College- and Career-Ready Standards Initiative is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt. The standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit-bearing entry courses in two-year or four-year college programs or enter the workforce. The standards ensure that parents, teachers, and students have a clear understanding of the expectations in reading, writing, speaking and listening, language and mathematics in school, and they put students on a level playing field regardless of their ZIP code.
Why Mississippi College- and Career-Ready Standards?
Timeline of MCCRS transition:
Development of MCCRS began through the work of higher education officials, employers, and the best research available to determine what students need to be college and career ready. In May 2013, the Mississippi Board of Education set a state accountability and assessment transitional timeline.
Standards were developed for each grade level to prepare students to meet expectations by graduation. These standards lead to proficiency in English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12.

Teens charged over riot
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- March 22, 2014
CHARGES have been laid and a dog squad will now patrol Cleveland Youth Detention Centre where six young offenders allegedly climbed on the roof and pelted police officers with bricks.
The male detainees were charged with 66 offences over the February 13 riot which resulted in a tense six-hour stand-off resolved after police negotiators were brought in.
The teens allegedly jumped on the roof via a construction site at the Belgian Gardens detention centre with bricks, pieces of metal and masonry which they rained down on police officers between 4.50pm and 10.50pm.
Local Government Minister and Mundingburra MP David Crisafulli said such antics would no longer be tolerated under his government.
"There was a time when these alleged offenders would have been given a lolly and a cuddle for what they've done," Mr Crisafulli said.
"But now, there are consequences for their actions.
"You can't have a prison system that acts as a deterrent if you've got an X-Box and a mechanical bull and that's why we got rid of all that nonsense."
Significant damage was done to property during the riot and police and detention centre staff were injured.
A Youth Justice spokeswoman confirmed security had been improved.
"This includes additional security officers and a canine unit to patrol the construction site where this incident occurred," she said.
"Detainees are reminded that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.
"There are serious consequences for those who not only endanger staff and fellow detainees but cause damage to the property of Youth Justice."
The teens have each been charged with wilful damage, serious assault of detention centre officers and seriously assaulting police.

Police investigate the scene of a hit-and-run accident that injured a woman walking to work near 21st and Grange on Monday, Dec. 16, 2013, in Sioux Falls. (Nick Lowrey/Argus Leader Media)
A 58-year-old woman has life-threatening injuries after she was struck by a vehicle Monday morning as she crossed Grange Avenue near 21st Street on her way to work at Sanford USD Medical Center.
Police are asking the publics help in finding the driver, who never made an attempt to stop, Lt. Galen Smidt said.
Smidt said two women were crossing Grange Avenue to get to Sanford about 7:15 a.m. when the collision took place. One woman was able to cross the street before the second woman was struck.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens said the victim was thrown into the air after being hit by a southbound car thought to have been exceeding the 30 mph speed limit.
The woman who crossed the street ahead of the victim told police she had seen headlights coming toward her on Grange but thought she had enough time to get across the street. When she reached the other side, she heard a thump and then saw the victim in the air, Smidt said.
Clemens said police are looking for a 2001 to 2005 silver or light-blue four-door Honda Civic with possible damage to its front end, off-center to the passengers side, and a shattered windshield. Police have no description of the driver.
The two women were crossing west across Grange between a set of parking lots about 50 yards from a crosswalk.
The victim was transferred by ambulance to Sanford soon after 7:30 a.m., and police said she was in surgery at 8:15.
It was pretty obvious that the driver would have known that they hit somebody, Clemens said.
Orlen Tschetter, vice president for facilities and planning at Sanford, said the hospital works closely with the city to make decisions about traffic safety around its campus. About 4,000 employees work there daily.
We are a very busy campus, he said. We are very concerned about safety.
The hospital has worked with the police department in the past when employees have expressed concern about traffic around the hospital, Tschetter said, though he was unaware of any specific complaints recently.
Were very proactive in monitoring traffic, Tschetter said.
Henry Carlson contractor José Rivera said he walks across the same stretch of Grange every day to get to his job site on the Sanford campus.
I havent had any issues with traffic, Rivera said.
If you have any information on the crime, you are urged to call Sioux Falls Police at 605-367-7000 or CrimeStoppers at 605-367-7007
