The court's 1969 ruling relied heavily on the scarcity rationale. But Brian Anderson and Adam Thierer, in their book "A Manifesto for Media Freedom," note that today there are about 14,000 radio stations, twice as many as in 1969, and 18.9 million subscribers to satellite radio, up 17 percent in 12 months, and 86 percent of households with either cable or satellite television receive an average of 102 of the 500 available channels. Because daily newspapers are much more scarce than are radio and television choices, should there be a fairness doctrine for The New York Times?
The 1969 court dismissed as "speculative" the possibility that the fairness doctrine would cause broadcasters to "eliminate coverage of controversial issues." But the proper worry was that the doctrine would continue to stifle the flowering of controversy. A court that considers the doctrine today will note that whereas in 1980 there were fewer than 100 talk radio programs, today there are more than 1,500 news or talk radio stations.
Further subverting the "scarcity" rationale for government supervision of broadcast content, some liberals now say: The problem is not maldistribution of opinion and information, but too much of both. Until recently, liberals fretted that the media were homogenizing America into blandness. Now they say speech management by government is needed because of a different scarcity -- the public's attention, which supposedly is overloaded by today's information cornucopia.
And these worrywarts say the proliferation of radio, cable, satellite broadcasting and Internet choices allows people to choose their own universe of commentary, which takes us far from the good old days when everyone had the communitarian delight of gathering around the cozy campfire of the NBC-ABC-CBS oligopoly. Being a liberal is exhausting when you must simultaneously argue for illiberal policies on the basis of dangerous scarcity and menacing abundance.
If reactionary liberals, unsatisfied with dominating the mainstream media, academia and Hollywood, were competitive on talk radio, they would be uninterested in reviving the fairness doctrine. Having so sullied liberalism's name that they have taken to calling themselves progressives, liberals are now ruining the reputation of reactionaries, which really is unfair.

Texas Cracks Down on Unsafe Boaters
New High School Allows Students to Earn College Degree and Land Job with IBM
The IBM International Foundation and the New York City Public Schools have collaborated to create the new Pathways in Technology Early College High School, which will open in September.
Dubbed "P-Tech," students can earn a standard four-year diploma, or opt to stay for two extra years — after which they'll graduate with an associate's degree in computer science from CUNY's College of Technology (City Tech) for free. They can then continue their studies at City Tech, attend other colleges and apply the credits they've already earned, or be considered for employment by IBM's IT department and at other companies.
Black Valedictorian Sues Her School After Being Forced to Share Honor with White Student
In 1957, nine black students were denied entry at the illegally racially-segregated Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas, setting off a firestorm that became a watershed moment in the civil rights movement.
Now, a young woman claims another school in the state is still discriminating against minority students.

New 'Dyslexie' Font Created to Help Dyslexia Sufferers [VIDEO]
Dyslexia sufferers have a tough time with basic reading– the learning disability actually causes those afflicted to view words differently than the rest of us. They sometimes see letters flipped upside down, mirrored or even rearranged within a word.
A new typeface called Dyslexie is trying to change all that. Created by Netherlands designer Christian Boer, it thickens the bottom of some letters and slants others in an effort to make texts easier for dyslexics to read.

The Mother of My Children
Fernandez, Maria Elena, Newsweek
Byline: Maria Elena Fernandez
As TV's most iconic soap opera signs off, its creator, Agnes Nixon, reflects on four decades of drama.
There's a reason All My Children actor David Canary calls the soap's 83-year-old creator, Agnes Nixon, "a wonderful person packed with the devil." The petite Nixon may be all smiles, but in her imagination lives a long cast of characters responsible for some of the most steamy relationships and deranged scheming in the history of daytime television.
For her stories, Nixon draws deep. Erica Kane, the world's most iconic soap character, emerged from Nixon's own complicated relationship with her parents. As an only child of divorce growing up in Depression-era Nashville with virtually no contact with her father, Nixon knew what abandonment felt like. But she could never open up to her mother about it. So she created in Erica a needy woman who filled the void with every man in Pine Valley and wasn't shy about blaming her mother, Mona, for her emotional problems.
"Erica and I both have an abandonment complex, which is very valid," Nixon says. Of course, "the way I reacted to it is certainly not the way Erica has." Nixon was married 45 years before her husband died; Erica is engaged to be married for the 12th time.
Today, it's the fans of All My Children who are dealing with abandonment issues. When the soap signs off ABC on Sept. 23, it will leave a Susan Lucci-sized hole in American popular culture, especially because Lucci hasn't decided if she's joining the Web version being produced by Prospect Park.
"In my eight-page audition scene, Agnes established character and history between Erica and Mona, and a real mother-daughter relationship where a 15-year-old girl was rolling her eyes at her mother, like in real life," says Lucci. "And Agnes brought so much humor to it, too. It was a role that immediately transcended, and there was no reason for me to leave," she adds, explaining why she has played Erica continuously since 1970.
As a child, Nixon had dreamed of becoming an actress herself--but that quickly changed when she arrived at Northwestern University and saw future Oscar winners Patricia Neal and Cloris Leachman in action. "?'Oh, my goodness,' I said to myself. 'Girl, you better write!'?" she recalls with a laugh.
But Nixon's father, who was paying for her education, wanted her to work in the family business--making burial garments. "He was always telling me I had no ability as a writer," she says, and to prove it, he arranged a meeting, through a friend, with Guiding Light creator Irna Phillips, assuming she would reject his daughter's writing on the spot. Instead, she offered Nixon a job.
Nixon says Phillips taught her the art of writing a continuous story. But more important, she showed her how to hold her work in the highest regard--even when arranging someone's 10th marriage or killing off a character for the second or third time. …

What changes are you intending to make to the log messages? Previously *all* messages got logged, but only as either CRIT or as DEBUG, so the sysadmin had a choice of seeing all messages (including trival ones) or only the most critical messages. The new patch appears to drop some messages instead of logging them! I'd prefer to see a patch that adds a middle category, taking some of the DEBUG messages and logging them as ERR or WARN.

A Modern Relish Tray for Thanksgiving: A Beautiful Whole Cheese
Gatherings from The Kitchn
For our final Modern Thanksgiving Relish Tray (see our pickle board and spread of dips and crudités) I went a very untraditional route for Thanksgiving: cheese! I was looking for something that represented the Bay Area and our local bounty, something unique and delicious and maybe just a bit decadent. Something dramatic and singular and celebratory.
Well, hello there, whole wheel of beautiful, buttery Mt. Tam! You're looking marvelous!
Cheese Has Never Looked So Good, Thanks to These Plates.
When I'm putting together a cheese plate, I'm typically more interested in the cheese than the plate. (After all, I can eat the cheese. I cannot eat the plate.) However, these cheese plates from Canadian design store Baba Souk completely upstage the cheese they're meant to showcase... and I'm okay with that.
10 Outrageous Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for Lunch (Or Dessert)

How To Make Pull-Apart Cheese Bread
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
This right here — this cheese-stuffed loaf — this is how you guarantee that any party you throw will be a smashing success. Cheese and bread are already a first-rate combination, of course, but this particular delivery method is just brilliant.

Want to know how this party insurance can be yours? Of course you do. Here's how to make gooey, pull-apart cheese bread, one step at a time.
What's the Deal with Sharp Cheddar Cheese?
Ingredient Intelligence
It's hard to imagine life without cheddar cheese — there's a block of it in my fridge at all times, ready to be sprinkled onto scrambled eggs, melted into grilled cheese sandwiches, or stirred into bechamel sauce for homemade macaroni and cheese.
But cheddar cheeses can be confusing: some are white, some are yellow or orange, and some cheddars are labeled mild, sharp, or extra sharp. Cheddars seem to be the only cheese with that label, so what does it all mean?
Here Are 10 of the Most Decadent Mac & Cheese Recipes We Could Find
Recipes from The Kitchn
Comfort food means different things to different people, but I think we can all agree that mac and cheese is definitely up there on the list of the most satisfying, comforting foods around. Just looking at a bowl full of noodles swimming in a pool of creamy, melted cheese makes me feel warm and happy on the inside.

Recipe: Paneer Mughlai Curry
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
One of my favorite dinner party dishes is this paneer cheese curry, Mughlai-style. I've simplified the recipe and it actually takes less than 30 minutes to put together, including the prep, but it doesn't lose any of its incredible flavor in the process. But I can guarantee that your family and guests will think you've slaved over the stove for hours when you present this to them, all creamy, fragrant and delicately spiced.
Recipe: Lasagna-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Recipes from The Kitchn
If you've never experienced the magic that is spaghetti squash, this is the recipe to kick off your new fall obsession. It's called spaghetti squash for a reason, after all, and these tender strands of squash make a remarkable stand-in for our favorite pasta dishes.
Today, this mild-tasting squash is getting a lasagna makeover. Mozzarella, ricotta, meat sauce — the works. It's a bowl of hot-baked goodness that you get all to yourself, no sharing required.
An Apple & Honey Cheese Board for Rosh Hashanah
Celebrating Rosh Hashanah
Every fall, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) rolls around right as the apple harvest comes into full swing. The timing could not be more fortuitous, since apples dipped in honey are the holiday's best known food symbol — an edible representation of one's wishes for a sweet and round year ahead.
As someone who regularly throws dinner parties, I understand the magic of a well-curated cheese board to make guests feel lavishly welcomed — and to tide them over until dinner is served. I adore the cheese, naturally, but often find it's the extras — the fruit, olives, breads, and spreads — that make the board feel particularly special.
This L.A. Chef is Making Vegan Cheese That Sounds Seriously Good
Food News
Not only is Chef Matthew Kenney making vegan cheese for his restaurant M.A.K.E. — he's more than willing to tell us how we can make it, too. And not only is he making it and teaching it, but this cheese sounds unlike any other vegan cheese I've ever encountered. It sounds straight-up delicious.

Diane Kruger Oscar Party Dress 2013 | Pictures
Oscars Parties: Diane Kruger
Diane Kruger arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in what could potentially be one of the coolest dresses we've ever seen on the afterparty circuit. Crafted in a messy-meets-modernist black-and-white finish, Kruger's leg-baring Giambattista Valli look caught our attention and kept it there. Rest assured, the blond beauty kept everything else minimal, pairing the look with a slicked-back bun, Neil Lane cluster earrings, a gold-and-black clutch, a Jaeger-LeCoultre diamond-encrusted watch, and crisp white Christian Louboutin pointy-toe pumps. Are you into Kruger's latest ensemble?

Captiva boasted one of the first loggerhead nests in Southwest Florida, laid Sunday. Loggerhead nesting season officially begins today.
- Filed Under
By this time last year turtle nests were already covering local beaches. But 2013 is expected to be a more typical season as nesting begins today.
Warmer water in 2011 and 2012 brought an unusual trend of early nests starting in mid-April. Experts say while the Gulf is warming up near shore and on the surface, the water farther out is chilly and that's where the turtles are.
"The water column is quite cool out there, and they can't respond overnight," said Eve Haverfield, president and founder of Turtle Time, which monitors sea turtles in Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach. "I think we will be back ...

"I thought I had great seats for the first night of Depeche Mode's 2-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York City, but tonight my seats were ridiculous! I was in section 1 on the floor of the arena and it was another dream come true.For opener Peter Bjorn and John, last night's MSG show was their third NYC show in two days. Their fourth was also last night - at Rockwood Music Hall (at 1am). Pictures from MSG Night One HERE. More pictures from MSG Night Two, and the setlist, and a video, below...
The setlist (which you can see after the jump) was pretty much the same, but last night [8/3], Martin Gore performed "Little Soul" and "Home" and tonight he did "Jezebel" and "A Question of Lust" [8/4]. Also, last night, they played "Come Back" and tonight they played "Miles Away/The Truth is." Both nights were fantastic! The crowd was every bit as into it as they were last night as Depeche Mode rocked the Garden again." [According to G]

"Of all the bright-eyed groups from the bushy-tailed class of 1982 British New Wavers, few would have picked Depeche Mode as the one still selling out multiple nights at Madison Square Garden 27 years down the road....Peter Bjorn and John opened the show and then played a gig at Cake Shop after midnight. They do it again at MSG tonight (8/4). More pictures from last night (8/3), and the DM setlist, below....
...And then there's Gahan. Though he's been forced to cancel some shows due to a bout with gastroenteritis and tearing a calf muscle onstage in Spain [...and cancer], he sashayed and posed and spun across the stage without a care in the world. His stage performance has been tweaked, just like Depeche Mode's music, all for the better.
Instead of picking up the mic stand and whirling like a dervish, Gahan now spins in moderation and he occasionally tangos with the stand or makes broad ballroom moves like he was training for "Dancing With the Stars." His vocals are different as well, giving a sweeter twist to "Wrong" and a broader snarl to "I Feel You," which opened as a blues number. He even threw some Michael Jackson-esque "hee-hee hees" into "Strangelove."
Yes, you read that right. Who knows what Depeche Mode will think of next?" [Newsday]

Leonard Cohen @ Red Rocks in June (more by Lori Baily)
Leonard Cohen is currently in the midst of a four night run in Dublin as part of his summer-long European/world tour. That trip picks up again in the fall with a series of US gigs that includes a show at NYC's Madison Square Garden on October 23rd! There's no ticket info yet.
He recently played NYC in May at Radio City Music Hall, as well as in February at the Beacon Theater. We also caught him at one of his last North American tour stops in June in Colorado.
One place Leonard Cohen won't be playing is Ramallah, where a scheduled gig was recently cancelled...
A Leonard Cohen concert planned in Ramallah on the West Bank in September has been cancelled after the artist became embroiled in a campaign to boycott Israel.All tour dates below...
The 74-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter announced he would perform in Tel Aviv as part of his world tour. The Ramallah date was added later, allegedly in response to pro-Palestinian campaigners who had tried to dissuade Cohen from appearing in Israel.
Now his Palestinian hosts have cancelled the West Bank concert, amid claims that the planned gig was a hollow attempt to "balance" performances.
"Ramallah will not receive Cohen as long as he is intent on whitewashing Israel's colonial apartheid regime by performing in Israel," the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) said in a statement. [Guardian UK]

Bruce Springsteen @ Izod Center (more by Tim Griffin)
Reports are circling around the web about a 25th Anniversary Event of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame slated to take place at Madison Square Garden on Oct 29-30. Although so far unconfirmed by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame site showbiz411.com reports...
Tentatively scheduled for the Thursday show are Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon as a solo act, Stevie Wonder, and the whole posse that includes Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young and friends.Amazon.com seems to semi-confirm some details with respect to an upcoming book, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary:
Then on Friday: Aretha Franklin headlines, with U2, Metallica, and Eric Clapton. Those are the names I've heard so far, but we won't be surprised if Paul McCartney, Sting, the Rolling Stones and a few other big names like Bob Dylan.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the most famous rock and roll institution in the world. In 2009, the Hall of Fame celebrates its twenty-fifth year with numerous events in Cleveland and a two-day anniversary concert on October 29 and 30 at Madison Square Garden that will be filmed. A four-hour edited version will appear on HBO in mid-November. While we are not a liberty yet to give out the names of the artists confirmed, you can be assured that the top names in music will appear. Artists that have been approached include Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, U2, The Eagles, Prince, Stevie Wonder, and other artists of this calibre. The event is being produced with Tom Hanks' company Playtone; Tom and award-winning writer and director Cameron Crowe will be involved in the creative. The Hall of Fame is just beginning to reach out to sponsors. The publication of this book is timed to release with the HBO television special and the induction of the 2009 nominees.On Saturday night (7/18), Stevie Wonder was in town to play the Mandela tribute concert at Radio City. The Star Ledger reports that "Mandela didn't attend the concert, through he did send a taped message, as did President Obama."
Paul McCartney is playing Citi Field tonight (7/21) (assuming it is rain or shine), one of three shows at the venue from the legend (pics from night one here).
Metallica are also playing Madison Square Garden, just a couple weeks after the supposed Hall of Fame show. Those sold-out shows, slated for 11/14 and 11/15, will feature support from Lamb of God (who are headlining a show at Wellmont Theater with Gwar).
Metallica were inducted into the Hall of Fame in April. Videos below...

"A previous article explored why Michael Jackson, musically, is not even in the same league as Prince. Another artist Michael Jackson can never touch is Bruce Springsteen, a far better vocalist, songwriter and singer than Michael Jackson can ever dream to be.Adding to their itinerary that included five Giants Stadium shows (that venue's last), Bruce Sprinsteen and the E Street Band have announced 25 new 2009 shows including two in November at Madison Square Garden in NYC. All dates below...
In the early 1980s, Michael Jackson might have sold more than the Boss. But Bruce Springsteen was the critical favorite. Even before his mainstream breakout album Born in the USA, Bruce was on the top of every critic's list. When Born in the USA was released, he not only overshadowed Michael Jackson, but made other stars seem irrelevant. The Boss had more dedicated fans than any artist of the 1980s."

Pete Seeger @ Columbia in April...
"Clearwater conducts innovative environmental programs, advocacy and celebrations in order to inspire and energize the next generation of environmental leaders.Pete Seeger's been busy lately, especially for someone who just celebrated his 90th birthday. The event for that occasion took place at Madison Square Garden on May 3rd, and is reviewed in full below, with pictures. A few weeks before that, on Earth Day (April 18th), Pete played a show at Columbia's Teachers College. Photos from that show are below too. Right after that he headed to New Orleans to perform at Jazz Fest. Prior to those, Seeger played the Clearwater benefit with Jeff Tweedy at Beacon High School on March 28th. We also recently noticed his name as the special guest on a show at Joe's Pub.
Clearwater was founded in 1969 by music legend and environmental activist Pete Seeger." [Clearwater]
This summer Pete Seeger is scheduled to play the Newport Folk Festival (August 1st and 2nd), and will perform at his own Clearwater Festival, taking place in Croton-on-the-Hudson, NY this weekend (June 20th and 21st).

Van Morrison played the Theater @ MSG (pics, setlist) & Jimmy Fallon's first episode (video) -- Beacon tonight
photos by Eric M. Townsend
"Still, surprise was not why a capacity crowd was gathered at the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Mr. Morrison was paying tribute to "Astral Weeks," his best-regarded album but one that was overlooked when it was released in 1968; it never appeared on the Billboard album chart.Van Morrison played his first two of four "Astral Weeks" shows over the weekend. Last night he performed on the very first Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show which you can watch in its entiretly at NBC's site. Tonight (3/3), he kicks off his first of two nights at the Beacon Theatre. The other two shows were at the Theater at MSG. Setlists and more pictures from those, and some Fallon videos, below...
This return trip wasn't quite a celebration, though. Nor was it a re-evaluation or much of a revision. Instead it often felt like obligation and, accordingly, Mr. Morrison treated the task perversely.
First came the delay of gratification. He began with an hourlong set consisting mostly of curios and cuts from other albums. Occasionally he was clarion clear: the soft-loud dynamics of "So Quiet in Here" were arresting, and "Who Drove the Red Sports Car" was an impassioned holler. When he strayed from his own songbook, he sounded invigorated, as if trying to renew his lineal claims: that Ray Charles cover, soon followed by "St. James Infirmary Blues," with Mr. Morrison playing scraping, arch alto sax."

Jimmy Fallon's house band THE ROOTS - 14 NYC shows @ Highline, 1 @ MSG, a Questlove LPR residency + Carnegie Hall
"The Roots will star as the [house] band on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon! ...Don't worry, The Legendary aren't completely hanging up their hats for the day jobby job - there's still plenty of weekends and TV-vacation time for touring. But now, in addition to their stunning live show, you'll get to watch ?uesto and co. kick it EVERY week night- what's better than that?? We've heard talks of special guests, potential skits, and other exciting surprises, but you'll just have to tune in for all that. And you know OKP will have all sorts of ex-ex-ex-cluuusives, in addition to keeping you up to date on all that's going on Fallon-wise. [Okayplayer, December 2008]Late Night with Jimmy Fallon replaces Late Night with Conan O'Brien on NBC on March 2, 2009. Seeing as how the show is filmed here in NYC, that's where the Roots are going to have to live from now on. That means not much touring in their future. That also means lots of NYC shows....
The Roots are taking residency at Highline Ballroom in NYC, their new hometown. Entitled "The Jam", tickets are on sale for shows on March 5, March 19, March 23, March 31, April 14, April 21, May 4, May 13, May 18, May 26, June 2, June 10, June 16, and June 23. That's a lot of performances. And they each only cost $10. I'm also told there will be lots of varying special guests.
But that's not all: Questlove also has a residency of his own, entitled 'the fANtastic', at (Le) Poisson Rouge. That "will take place every Thursday night beginning March 26, 2009 at 11PM through May 28, 2009. Special guests to be announced weekly." Tickets are slightly more expensive than the full Roots show. You can buy them for March 26 HERE.
For more Questlove, you can hear him talk, TONIGHT, 2/11 @ 7pm, at 92YTribeca with Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg.
AND: The Roots will appear at Carnegie Hall on March 16th. The show is entitled "Ask Your Mama! Music by Laura Karpman, on a text by Langston Hughes", and The Roots are one of many on this one's lineup. Tickets for that are at CarnegieHall.com.
Wait, it's not over yet: The Roots are opening for the Dave Matthews Band at Madison Square Garden on April 14th, and then at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ one day after that.
Jimmy Fallon and the Roots star in the series of videos below...

Kings of Leon @ Madison Square Garden - Jan 29, 2009 (spochat)
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that people often mistake him for singer James Blunt or an insurance salesman. The singer said a woman who works next door to the band's Bakery recording studios in London is convinced that he is a door-to-door salesman. "She asked me the other day if I was in insurance," he told XFM. "And if it's not insurance or a lawyer, it's another singer. "The other ones I get are James Morrison and James Blunt and I always say, 'Yep!' because you should never disappoint somebody." Martin joked that he would rather be confused for Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill. "If I could sing like that I'd be massive," he said. [Gigwise]The Whigs opened for Kings of Leon at the sold out show at Madison Square Garden in NYC last night (1/29). KOL's setlist below...

"Songs are almost afterthoughts for Anthony Gonzalez, the songwriter, singer, guitarist and keyboardist behind the French band M83. He's after enthrallment instead, and on Saturday night at Irving Plaza he had time to be sweeping. M83 is touring as the opening act for the Killers, and was on the bill at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. But as the headliner at the club, M83 opened for itself with an introductory set of ambient music, pulling listeners further into its otherworldly domain. The band is named after a galaxy." [NY Times]The M83 opening set was slow, but was then followed an excellent headlining M83 performance. How was it at MSG? More Irving Plaza pics and the setlist, below...

Van Morrison releasing & performing 'Astral Weeks' (2 shows at the Theater at New York's Madison Square Garden)
Multi-award winning soul singer and musical legend Van Morrison is set to release "Astral Weeks: Live at the Hollywood Bowl," an in-concert reworking of his historic 1968 gold-certified solo album. Recorded live over two nights at the Hollywood Bowl this past Nov. 7 and 8, the album marks the premiere release on Mr. Morrison's new EMI-distributed label, Listen to the Lion Records. "Astral Weeks: Live at the Hollywood Bowl" arrives in stores Feb. 10, 2009. A double-vinyl edition with three bonus tracks (including a live version of "Gloria") arrives in stores the same day.Tickets for both NYC shows go on Am Ex presale this Sunday at 10AM.
The concerts marked the first time Mr. Morrison ever performed "Astral Weeks" in one complete concert set. Joining him was an orchestral string section and a band composed of world-class musicians, some of whom played with Van on the original "Astral Weeks" sessions 40 years ago. Tracks on the CD include: "Astral Weeks/I Believe I've Transcended," "Beside You," "Slim Slow Slider/ I Start Breaking Down," "Sweet Thing," "The Way Young Lovers Do," "Cyprus Avenue / You Came Walking Down," "Ballerina," "Madame George" and two bonus tracks, "Listen to the Lion / The Lion Speaks" and "Common One."
The Hollywood Bowl concerts gave me a welcome opportunity to perform these songs the way I originally intended them to be," says Mr. Morrison, who amazingly held only one rehearsal prior to the concerts. "There are certain dynamics you can get in live recordings that you just cannot get in a studio recording. I love listening to live recordings. You get the whole thing right there, unabridged, raw and in the moment. There was a distinct alchemy happening on that stage in Hollywood. I felt it."....
....Both Bowl shows were filmed in high-definition, and will later be available as a commercial DVD concert film. Due to overwhelming demand, Mr. Morrison will perform "Astral Weeks" again, in show at the Theater at New York's Madison Square Garden, on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27 & 28. Accompanied by two different bands, Mr. Morrison will play two sets per show: one of "Astral Weeks" cover to cover, the other of rarely played Van Morrison classics. He may even pull out rare gems "TB Sheets," "Mystic Eyes," "Who Drove the Red Sports Car" and "Baby Please Don't Go."
Tickets go on Am Ex presale one week later for the two Paul Simon shows at Beacon Theatre.

There were a total of 52 candidates named from the eight regions, all of whom will be in the running for selection to the 10-member WBCA Division I Coaches' All-America Team.
The 2014 WBCA Division I Coaches' All-America Team will be announced 2:10 p.m. ET Saturday, April 5, during NCAA Women's Final Four Super Saturday festivities in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
Stallworth is joined by South Carolina's Tiffany Mitchell and Aleighsa Welch, Tennessee's Meighan Simmons and Isabelle Harrison and Vanderbilt's Christina Foggie and Jasmine Lister on the Region 3 team.
A native of Richmond, Calif., Stallworth leads the team in field goal percentage (.518), field goals made (142) and steals (43), while ranking second in scoring (12.2), rebounding (6.9) and blocked shots (34).
Despite missing five games due to midseason knee surgery, Stallworth has scored in double figures 20 times this season, including eight straight.
The selection committee uses an equation to determine a fair number of nominees from each region.
The number of Division I institutions in each region is divided by the number of Division I institutions overall to determine a percentage for each region. This percentage is then multiplied by 52 (the total number of desired finalists) to get the number of finalists for each region.
Stallworth and the Wildcats will make their third straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Saturday, March 29 in South Bend, Ind., where they will face the No. 2 seed and No. 5/6 Baylor Lady Bears at Noon ET on ESPN.Follow UK Hoops on Twitter and Instagram at @UKHoopCats and on Facebook by liking University of Kentucky Women's Basketball.

About five years ago, the Vincents made a life-changing decision that both Todd and Kari now believe was the right thing to do. Todd sold a network cabling company and bought a small farm. After a few years, the Vincents purchased their 23-acre current farm, just east of Rochester.
There they raise a small herd of cattle, have a flock of laying hens and meat chickens, keep bees and generally grow enough vegetables and fruit to feed their large family of 10 and a lot of other people, too.
"We grow strawberries and have a large produce garden," Todd says. "I also have two large greenhouses."
Todd says the family is lucky to have friends and family members help them with their farming. Mike Vincent is based in Florida but comes to Illinois every month to spend a week to 10 days helping his son's family and taking care of his own farming business.
Still, Todd generally works 12 to 15 hours a day, depending on the season. "I work from 5:30 in the morning until dark," he says. "It's a long day." Remarkably, Todd was in his mid-30s and "had never grown anything" when he decided to go into farming. Now he's 40.
"I'm younger," Kari is quick to point out. The 36-year-old is younger and just as full of energy, it seems. She mothers their large brood, helps Todd out on the farm and home-schools the children, all while she is expecting another child — their ninth in less than 14 years.
Every Thursday during the summer and early fall months, the Vincent family participates in the Illinois Products Farmers' Market at the state fairgrounds.
"If some of the little ones are cranky, then Kari will stay home with them. My mom (Carol Sapp) helps out, too. But we usually go as a family," Todd says and then chuckles. "If we're all there, then it always looks crowded around our table."
The Vincent family eats well at their own home table, too. In the warm months, much of their food is homegrown and fresh, and Kari cans and freezes vegetables and fruits to use after growing season has passed.
"Kari was an ultra city girl," Todd says. "People who knew her when she was younger can't believe what she's doing now. Back then, she couldn't cook, much less can."
Todd and Kari believe that as parents, they've done what is right for their family.
"You know, I love all this. This is really the first time I've been doing something that I really love. Now I just have to continue making a living at it," Todd says. "But one of our driving factors in doing this was being able to work along with the children. We are a united front."

Yeah, I'm not sure as to why this would be offensive or against the rules...aren't we supposed to be a resource for others?
To the OP, I have no idea what the right answer is, have you asked your doctor?
I dont understand why people always get yelled at for posting things in the wrong board, its pretty ridiculous, so much for being supportive of people. Anyway with my Chemical pregnancies my HCG only got to 70 with one and 35 with the other. Good Luck!
I can't remember my exact levels, but I believe they never got higher than 50 or so. The fact that your hcg has doubled several times in a row is a very very good sign. Congratulations!

One of the greatest athletes in St. Paul history, Stacy Robinson, was elated to see the New York Giants' Super Bowl upset victory against the New England Patriots for several reasons.
Robinson, a 1980 Central High graduate, was a wide receiver on two Giants' Super Bowl championship teams (1987 and 1991) and is an active Giants alumnus. Giants coach Tom Coughlin was Robinson's position coach for several years, including 1991. They are pals.
"Tom was the most Type-A personality guy I had ever met," Robinson said Tuesday. "He was so detail-oriented. I was up to see him about three months ago. We were sitting down in the lunchroom at the stadium. And I had just been talking to (Giants defensive end Michael) Strahan, who told me (Coughlin) had just given the team two days off.
"Two days off! Two days off! I couldn't believe it! I mentioned that to Tom, and he said, 'Hey, you learn.'
"It's not that he's become so soft. I think he's learned to be flexible enough, and the ultimate goal is to get guys to play for you. And some of the little idiosyncrasies like not having your hat on, having your feet on the floor in the locker room, some of the militaristic stuff, he's eased up on that a little bit.
"When he first came there, he was having some struggles with players and rules, as you know. He still has his rules. But he's definitely got the respect of the players.
These days, Robinson, 45, is director of player development for the NFL Players Association. He attended the Super Bowl in Arizona with his youngest son, Myles, 10, who with another son, Marquis, 11, is following in Dad's footsteps. They played for the Silver Spring (Md.) junior peewee football team that won the national Pop Warner Super Bowl in December in Orlando, Fla.
How Gophers football recruiting ranks by individual positions, according to rivals.com: quarterbacks, No. 13 nationally, No. 1 in the Big Ten Conference; wide receivers, No. 11, No. 2 (behind Ohio State); linebackers, No. 10, No. 4; defensive backs, No. 8, No. 1; "athletes," No. 12, No. 2 (behind Ohio State).
Kansas basketball freshman Cole Aldrich, a 6-foot-11 Bloomington Jefferson graduate, got some air time and deserved accolades on ESPN Monday night during the No. 4-ranked Jayhawks' 90-71 victory over Missouri as they improved to 22-1. Aldrich had a career-high nine rebounds.
Former Orono basketball star Jon Leuer, a 6-10 freshman standout at Wisconsin, which defeated the Gophers on Sunday at Williams Arena, asked if his recruitment by Minnesota might have made a difference had Tubby Smith been the coach: "Never really crossed my mind because I never got a chance to know what he was all about. So that's hard to say."
Ralph Sampson, a 6-11 Duluth, Ga., Northview High senior who has committed to the Gophers, had 31 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocks - his fifth triple-double of the season - in a 68-61 victory over Walton last weekend.
Another player who has committed to the Gophers, Devron Bostick, is averaging 19.8 points and 2.15 assists for Southwestern Illinois while shooting 49 percent from the floor. Other Minnesota signees: Paul Carter is averaging 12 points and nine rebounds for Missouri State-West Plains, and Devoe Joseph's Pickering High (40-2) is No. 1-ranked in Ontario.
The Wild have moved from No. 11 to No. 4 in The Hockey News' NHL power rankings. The Detroit Red Wings, whom the Wild played host to on Tuesday night, remain No. 1, followed by Dallas, which the Wild plays host to Thursday in St. Paul.
Deolis Guerra, one of the players acquired by the Twins for pitcher Johan Santana, at age 17 was the Opening Day starter for the New York Mets' Class A Port St. Lucie club last season.
Former Gophers fullback Judge Dickson, who played on Minnesota's two Rose Bowl teams in 1961-62, will attend today's Minnesota national signing day recruiting announcement.
The largest hockey TV undertaking in the country will occur Saturday when the Wild and Fox Sports Net North team up for 16 hours of continuous coverage beginning at 9 a.m. Included in the telecast will be the St. Thomas Academy against Hill-Murray high school game at the Xcel Energy Center.
Some Minneapolis businessmen quietly suggested to Gophers athletics director Joel Maturi that he consider bully Bob Knight of Texas Tech to succeed Dan Monson as Gophers men's basketball coach. Appropriately, Maturi chose class over crass and hired Tubby Smith.
Al Jefferson, 23, whom the Timberwolves acquired from the Boston Celtics in the Kevin Garnett trade last summer, is averaging 21.3 points and 12.2 rebounds. Garnett, 31, is averaging 19.2 points and 9.9 rebounds.
Word in Seattle is that former Timberwolf Wally Szczerbiak, the SuperSonics' highest-paid player, is on the trading block. But he's being paid $12 million this season and is guaranteed $13 million next season.
The Timberwolves say they have no trades pending for the Feb. 21 deadline, although they have tried.
On Jan. 18, 1950, hall of fame pitcher Bob Feller, coming off a lackluster 15-14 season, took a $20,000 salary cut, at his own suggestion, to $45,000, according to a baseball page-a-day calendar. Feller was in town for the recent TwinsFest.
Lou Nanne, who as general manager of the North Stars in 1988 used hockey's No. 1 draft pick to take Mike Modano, who will be honored by the Wild at Thursday's game against Dallas in St. Paul: "We were looking for a franchise player who brought people out of their seats."

Steroid tests for school rugby playersComment on this story
Rugby players at South African sports schools will be tested for steroids and other banned substances, it was reported on Sunday.
According to Rapport newspaper, 18 of 62 children independently tested in the past six months had positive results for drugs so dangerous they could lead to death.
It reported that schedule five anabolic steroids were easily obtainable on the internet, and that people were unaware of the legal implications and health hazards of using them.
The newspaper reported that the SA Institute for Drug Free Sport (Saids) had announced that more than 100 schools would test their pupils for drugs.
Paarl Gymnasium would send its entire under 19A group to be tested for doping, even though it had not had problems with steroids, its rugby head Deon Gerber told Rapport.
The Hawks national spokesman Captain Paul Ramaloko told the newspaper they were aware of the problem. - Sapa

Property swap: downtown for Siesta Key
Published: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 8:56 p.m.
SARASOTA - An Osprey company managed by Christopher J. Brown and Javier Granthon has swapped a trio of retail buildings on Siesta Key for a building at 1410 Main St. in downtown Sarasota.
Ocean Blvd LLC's $1.35 million purchase of the Main Street building, which houses the Tropical Thai restaurant and a pizza shop, marks the fourth downtown acquisition by Brown in the past year.
In May, Brown spent $2.65 million to buy the building that had housed Patrick's restaurant, at 1400 Main St. It is currently being renovated. Patrick's moved elsewhere on Main Street in 2011.
The pair of restaurant buildings Ocean Blvd bought total 22,326 square feet, records show.
Last November, Brown paid $2.8 million to buy nearly 30,000 square feet of retail and office space at 1718 Main St. and 1734 Main St.
Brown's recent deal for the 1410 Main St. property involved a trade of nearly 9,500 square feet of retail space in three buildings in Siesta Key Village to a company controlled by Harry S. Walia, also for $1.35 million.
Ocean Blvd had paid the same amount for the Siesta Key buildings, at 5214 Ocean Blvd. and 5219 Ocean Blvd., in December, according to property records.
Brown, a Bradenton automobile wholesaler, will continue to have a presence on Siesta Key, since he still owns the Beach Club nightclub nearby, at 5151 Ocean Blvd.
A Brown-led group acquired the 6,050-square-foot club in August 2006 for roughly $4 million.
Walia paid $755,000 for the buildings at 1400 Main St. and 1410 Main St. in November 1992.
Though plans for the Main Street buildings remain in flux, it is likely Brown will not follow through on Walia's proposal to develop an 18-story hotel on the site.
Walia first proposed a hotel on the tract in 2006 and then again in 2010, with operators ranging from InterContinental to Hyatt.
Plans for a 102-room Summerfield Suites were rejected by the city in August 2010, arguing that the proposal failed to meet city codes and exceeded downtown height limits.

WALLA WALLA — Zachary Fraser has a vision of the Walla Walla Valley as a bastion of baseball within the next decade and a half.
That includes youth, prep, college and pro baseball — and the Valley is already on its way to that end.
Fraser, the general manager of the Walla Walla Sweets of the summer collegiate baseball West coast League, brings his message to the 30th Walla Walla Valley Youth Baseball and Softball dinner/auction fundraiser.
The event, which raises money to support youth ball in the Valley, begins with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Walla Walla Fairgrounds Community Building.
More than 100 auction items will include wine and tasting packages, trips to Hawaii and Mexico, a trip to a Mariners-Yankees game, dinners and golf packages, among others.
For Fraser, it's a chance to convey his views on baseball in the Valley — a very upbeat one.
"Right now, the future of baseball in Walla Walla is the best it's ever been," he said Wednesday as preparations for the Sweets' fourth season of play are made. "We want to develop a format that allows baseball to be a positive contributor in the community in the future. There's a lot that can be accomplished by baseball both on and off the field."
To highlight his vision of making baseball a career possibility, Fraser uses the example of Sweets manager J.C. Biagi, a DeSales and Walla Walla Community College grad who remains entrenched in the Walla Walla baseball community he grew up in.
In addition to managing the Sweets, Biagi is an assistant on WWCC's baseball team — under another Walla Walla baseball product, Dave Meliah, who assists Biagi with the Sweets and played pro ball before returning to town.
"J.C. benefitted from the youth baseball structure in Walla Walla, which gave him an opportunity to play and get a college degree (from Centenary College in Louisiana)," Fraser said. "Baseball isn't just a career for J.C., it's a lifestyle for him.
"So we say, how do we provide opportunities for kids to be the next J.C. Biagi, make this the place in Southeast Washington where people come to develop in baseball."
The Sweets are just a part of that vision, Fraser says, which includes all the youth baseball and softball groups and schools working together toward that goal.
"We need to encourage a flourishing baseball community," he said, "and that only happens when we work together."
Fraser has brought the Walla Walla Valley into his heart after arriving in town to establish the Sweets four years ago, leaving his position with the Seattle Storm WNBA franchise to do so.
He had a two-year plan to be in Walla Walla at the time, but that has turned into what he describes as possibly a 10-year plan as Fraser and his family have settled into the community.
"For every one benefit of living in Seattle, there are nine living here," he said.
The Sweets have turned into a fan attraction, continually leading the WCL in attendance.
"We've been lucky," Fraser says of the attendance. "The thing that hurts us fan-wise is the weather, and I can't control that.
"We've been blessed to have people caring about what we're doing, and we're doing everything we can control to keep that going."
In addition to fan-friendly activities at Borleske Stadium, the Sweets are also bringing back six players from last season's team — including four of their top offensive performers — for the 2013 season, which begins June 5 when Bend comes to town.
"Baseball is a game of familiarity," Fraser said. "The more familiar you are, the more at home you feel. We try to create familiarity as soon as they step off the plane."
This year, Fraser is using statistics-based sabermetrics to focus on specific players to bring to the team based on their playing history, a system made famous by Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics 10 years ago.
But it hasn't been used at this level of baseball, Fraser said.
"We're trying something new," he said of the effort. "It's a scientific approach to the game."
And, glancing at the whiteboard filling one wall of his office, he's excited about this summer's squad.
"On the board, we look awesome," he said.
A key for the Sweets is a better start to the season, getting into July at .500 or better, Fraser said, and getting some of their college players into town.
"We've traditionally played great baseball July 1 on," he said of the successful Sweets history.
Indeed, they played the Corvallis Knights for the WCL championship in 2011.
And, much like his vision for baseball in the Walla Walla Valley, Fraser sets his sights for the Sweets high.
"It's a goal for us to make the playoffs."
