Tire Kingdom Tundra Takes Two Big Hits at Daytona

Mooresville, N.C. (02-19-2011) – Friday night, under the lights at Daytona International Speedway, Todd Bodine fired up the No. 30 Tire Kingdom Tundra for its maiden voyage. The sponsor is new to Germain Racing and the team was geared up to give Tire Kingdom a great night in the season opener for the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Unfortunately, the luck that had been so keenly on the side of Bodine and the No. 30 team at Daytona seemed to have run out. The No. 30 Tire Kingdom Tundra had a starring roll in two big crashes in the 100-lap event that resulted in a 23rd-place finish, four laps shy of the scheduled race distance.
"It's not how we wanted to start this relationship with Tire Kingdom and Service Center or how we wanted to start the season with Valvoline. They've been a great sponsor for our team," said Bodine who hadn't finished worse than fifth in Trucks at Daytona prior to Friday night. "We'll come back again, we'll get them at Phoenix. It's a new points system, so we'll see how it shakes out."
After the first crash, the Tire Kingdom pit crew did a repair job that should make the Service Center crowd cheer. The No. 30 Tire Kingdom Tundra suffered several hits to the nose and rear of the truck, but was able to go back on track and even work back toward the front of the field.
"Never give up is not just a saying for our pit crew, it's truly how we feel. If the Tundra is still running, and has all four wheels on the ground, we'll do whatever it takes to get the truck back out on the race track," said crew chief Mike Hillman Jr.
Just before the SPEED broadcast booth announcers were marveling that there were only five race trucks left late in the race that had not yet been crashed, they were commenting on how aggravating it had to be to watch the beat up Tire Kingdom Tundra passing your truck, if you were one of the undamaged vehicles left in the fray.
"Our driver doesn't quit until we tell him there's no way the truck is safe to race. We put the Tire Kingdom Tundra back on track, and Todd did the best he could with it," said Hillman Jr.
"It took two crashes today to finish us off. Travis had a tire go down and we had no where to go. At the end, there, it was just a big mess. It was good tight racing tonight, but the finish certainly isn't what we'd like to have seen for our Tire Kingdom Toyota Tundra," said Bodine.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Real Washingtonians know that Mumbo sauce is a dc staple and your fried chicken wings likely wouldn't be the same without it. Now an appeals court says our beloved sauce may actually belong to some other town.
Arsha Jones has been making, and bottling this stuff from her kitchen under the name Capital City Mumbo Sauce. She's also taken the lead in a legal battle where a trademark court has ruled a chicago based company select brands, is the rightful owner of mumbo sauce, stripping D.C. from a source of pride.
Her contention has been that mumbo sauce is a generic name and that no one can claim ownership of such a term.
The court didn't see it that way.
mumbo sauce was made popluar throughout the many carry-outs in the district who all serve it as a dressing for fried foods. So you can imagine what D.C. residents had to say about it.
"That's really ridiculous. that's dc's thing," said one resident.
Another said, "I've been to chicago they aint got no mumbo sauce...d.c.'s got the mumbo sauce."

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Louisville waited 20 minutes to prove the Cardinals deserved the No. 1 ranking.
It took the same amount of time for their guards to show they could be the best backcourt in the country even when they don't spend all that much time together on the court.
Russ Smith had 23 points and Peyton Siva managed 11 in a foul-plagued 22 minutes and the Cardinals, playing just hours after they moved to the top of the poll, beat Connecticut 73-58 on Monday night.
The Cardinals (16-1, 4-0 Big East) won their 11th straight game and like the others they relied on their star backcourt and pressure defense.
Siva, the conference preseason Player of the Year, picked up his second foul just 3:47 into the game. Not only did the Cardinals lose a veteran leader when the senior went out but Smith, the leading scorer at 18.7 points per game, had to assume more of a role in running the offense. It didn't hurt his scoring much, though, as he had 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting as Connecticut took a 34-28 halftime lead.
Siva picked up his third foul with 14:21 to play in the game and he returned to the bench. When he came back in the game with 10 minutes left, Smith went to the bench for treatment. Siva hit a 3-pointer 50 seconds later as part of the game-changing 19-5 run.
"We did a good job of weathering a Peyton Siva storm, with him out," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "Once he came back and we weathered that storm, we were able to play much better defense and much better offense."
That is an understatement.
The pressure defense that drops into a matchup zone forced Connecticut into turnover after turnover and when the Huskies did get to shoot it was almost always a miss.
"They deserve the No. 1 ranking," Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie said. "They have talent. They play together. They play hard. Whoever's open they get the ball to. And they have those two amazing guards. Siva and Russ put pressure on our offense and defense the whole night."
Connecticut, which shot 53.8 percent from the field in the first half, had just three field goals in the opening 13 minutes of the second half as Louisville went ahead 60-44. The Huskies, who went 9 minutes without a field goal at one stretch, had trouble moving the ball against the fullcourt pressure and 2-3 zone of the Cardinals. The Huskies had seven turnovers in the first 11 minutes of the second half, matching their total in the first half.
"In the second half, we came out and we put it all together," Siva said. "The second half, I just tried to get everybody going. "
Louisville shot 60.7 percent in the second half (17 of 28) and hit an even 50 percent for the game.
Connecticut scored the first basket of the second half for a 36-28 lead but that's when Louisville started looking like the No. 1 team in the country.
They went on an 8-0 run in which Smith had four points and Siva two. That was part of a 19-5 burst that gave Louisville a 47-41 lead with 12:18 to play.
"They came out in the second half, and I don't know what Pitino said to the, but he must have something," Ollie said. "They played very, very hard in the second half, They took it to us."
The only other time Louisville was ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press' Top 25 was the final poll of 2008-09. The Cardinals won the national championship in 1980 and 1986 but the AP does not conduct a post-NCAA tournament poll.
The Cardinals are the third team to hold the No. 1 spot this season along with Indiana and Duke and they celebrated the move with the convincing road win.
Pitino talked to his team about the ranking.
"You're going to play for it at the end, which is the most important thing, but hold onto it for a while," he told them. "Louisville in its great tradition, one of the top seven traditions in all of basketball, has never been No. 1, I was blown away by that."
He was off by one.
Siva said he doesn't like being No. 1.
"I don't really like it, because it puts a big bull's eye on your back.," he said. "But my team embraces it. They play with that chip on their shoulder like they should be No. 1 and in the second half we proved it."
Omar Calhoun led the Huskies (12-4, 2-2) with 20 points while Shabazz Napier added 12, all but two in the first half. Ryan Boatright had 11 points and he and Napier both had six assists for the Huskies, who were coming off a win over then-No. 17 Notre Dame that was their sixth in seven games.
Calhoun gave his opinion of Louisville being No. 1.
"You ain't going to play a team better than that," he said.
The Huskies shot 25.9 percent in the second half (7 of 27) and were at 39.6 percent for the game.
Connecticut drops to 2-7 all-time against No. 1 teams with the last win over Texas on Jan. 23, 2010.
No. 4 KANSAS 61, BAYLOR 44
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Ben McLemore scored 17 points before leaving in the final minutes with a right ankle injury, and fourth-ranked Kansas rolled to a 61-44 victory over Baylor on Monday night.
McLemore hit a 3-pointer and then scored an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Elijah Johnson to make it 61-42 with 2:44 remaining. The Jayhawks were back on offense when the freshman appeared to turn his ankle, lying on the court for several minutes while a trainer examined it.
McLemore eventually stood up and was helped to the Kansas locker room.
The injury was just about the only thing that didn't go right for Kansas (15-1, 3-0 Big 12), which won its 14th straight game to match the fourth-longest streak in the Bill Self era.
Freshman center Isaiah Austin had 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bears (11-5, 3-1).

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- At the National Zoo, an everyday summer afternoon became a special event as a Dama gazelle named Adara gave birth around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Some very lucky Zoo visitors witnessed the birth because Dama and her mate Raul are on exhibit. Visitors saw the newborn gazelle take its first shaky steps under the watchful eye of its mother.
Adara, whose mate is Raul, will be taken off exhibit for the next few weeks to allow her to spend quiet time and bond with her new baby without distraction.
National Zoo spokesperson Jen Zoon reminds everyone that the birth of this baby gazelle is very significant for the Dama gazelle population.The Dama gazelle, with its distinctively slender long legs and pale, fine coat, is listed as a critically endangered species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species.
It is estimated that fewer than 500 remain in the wild, and those live under constant threat of hunting and poaching.
The new baby gazelle's gender hasn't been established, and no name bestowed yet.

Have finally watched most of the SAG clips. Thankfully didn't miss much. Meryl of course was delightful but for smutty tingles, the best speech of the night belonged to Sean Penn.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Labeled with a 7 seed and facing an undefeated Wheeling Central squad, St. Clairsville looked like anything but an underdog.
Instead, it was the Red Devils that dominated from the opening whistle, scoring four first-half goals and keeping the Maroon Knights' potent offense off the board en route to a 4-0 victory in the quarterfinals of the OVAC Cup Tournament at Red Devil Stadium.
St. Clairsville plays Brooke, a 1-0 winner against Wheeling Park, on Saturday in the semifinals at Wheeling Island Stadium.

St. Clairsville's Eberle Ferrell (2) works between Wheeling Central defenders Beth Stayduhar, left, and Aspen Matlock, right, as the Red Devils' Haylee Skukan looks on.
''When you are going up against someone that is 12-0, you have to bring your 'A' game and the girls knew it,'' St. Clairsville coach Scott Dutton said. ''We knew we would have to have a big offensive game, take some chances on defense and we did, and it worked out for us.''
Coming into Thursday's contest, Wheeling Central was scoring 7.2 goals per game and had given up seven all season.
St. Clairsville jumped out front quickly with a goal in the third minute as a direct kick from deep in Red Devils territory by Haylee Skukan got behind the Wheeling Central defense and onto the foot of teammate Carlee Gillespie, who buried it past Maroon Knights keeper Regan Blaha for a 1-0 lead.
Four minutes later, the Red Devils (9-5) doubled the lead as Taryn Barr took advantage of the wet weather as her shot slipped out of the hands of Blaha and into the goal.
''Those were huge,'' Dutton said. ''If you are going into a game 12-0, you have to have a lot of confidence. If you get scored on within the first couple minutes, it has to be an eye-opener for you.''
Added Wheeling Central coach David Cross: ''We've been behind two or three times this season and every time we've been able to bounce back. I don't think it really made that much of a difference.
''We didn't think being behind by four goals made a difference because we knew we had the ability to score four, five, six goals in the second half. We just didn't.''
Also hindering Wheeling Central's chances was an injury to one of its top scorers in Bailey Clark. She went out midway through the first half, shortly after St. Clairsville made it 3-0 on a goal by Madison Keenan.
Gillespie added the Red Devils' final goal in the 32nd minute.
Wheeling Central managed 10 shots, but each time Red Devils keeper Brianna Sowers was there to swat it away, including two breakaways in the second half.
Often times she stood at the 25-yard line, beating Maroon Knights players to the ball and not allowing chances.
''Their goalie did a great job and our passes weren't soft enough to get the touches to get by her,'' Cross said. ''We suggested (kicking it over her) but it just didn't happen.''
Added Dutton: ''Brianna made a big difference. She comes out and has a lot of saves but she is more of a defender than a goalkeeper. Outstanding job by her.''

Video: What To Look Out For On Your Morning Commute
(WUSA) -- The morning snow is creating a slick commute for some.
We sent WUSA9's Delia Goncalves out to Suitland, Md. to give us some guidance on what's happening.
Many major roads have been cleared but still have some slick spots. Secondary roads are mostly covered with snow.
Drivers should be cautious on their commute today, traveling a little below the speed limit.
Send us your snow photos!

Wondering if i could get some help/advice?
In attempting a migration of Zimbra 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 10.04) to Zimbra 8.0.2 (CentOS 6.3) [FOSS Edition], I think I've made the mistake of upgrading the old server from ZCS 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 10.04) to 8.0.2 (Ubuntu 10.04) and then tried to rsync the data to a new server already running Zimbra 8.0.2 (CentOS 6.3).
I used various guides from the wiki for platform independent migrations.
However I now cannot log into user or admin accounts on the upgraded old server now running 8.0.2? The server will also not receive any mail, and gives a '550 5.1.1 user does not exist on this server' error.
I only received the following error during the uprgrade.
Is there a way I can rollback the upgrade of the old server back to ZCS 7.2.0?Code:Mon Dec 24 20:21:27 2012 *** Running as zimbra user: /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapadd /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/ldap.80 50d88f25 ldif_read_file: checksum error on "/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn=config/olcDatabase={2}mdb.ldif"
Or is there a way I can fix the authentication problems?
I've had a look at the following threads;

Any help appreciated?

Hi together,
maybe I'm little stupid, but .. how is the tag-filter in webclient disabled?
For example in contacts, I click on a tag in the left side. Now, only the contacts which have the selected tag assigned, will show. If I select another tag, the according contacts are shown. So far, so good. But I'd like to see all contacts again - how do I completely disable the tag-filter?
Thanks for a hint.

York Travel guide
York : Michelin's recommendations
The proud medieval city of York remains well protected behind its virtually intact walls, encircling it between the River Ouse and River Foss. Today, visitors may wander along its rampart walk, offering fine views of the cathedral. York Minster is the great architectural monument of the region, symbolising a rich historical legacy. At sunset, the building's west front is a remarkable sight.

itt we talk about how annoying the Rondo haters and tanking lovers on these boards are.
Rajon Rondo is a top 3 talent at his position. He's a proven playoff performer and a team leader who has earned the respect of his teammates. Getting rid of Rondo to tank is simply on of the worst possible decisions to make in this situation. We have a legit star, a guy who will put us over the top in the playoffs, why would we want to get rid of him?? You don't get rid of a guy like Rondo. You pair him up with another star who can score at will, a legit big man and a bunch of shooters.
Trading away Rondo for the sake of tanking is just ridiculous. If Ainge does this, he needs to go, because it would set this team back almost 10 years. Thank god some of you guys aren't running this franchise.

Have you noticed a sticky substance on the floor beneath your ficus or philodendron? Are there little scabs on the under side of the leaves of your orchid? Maybe you have noticed that your plants just look a little lack luster. Well, we can blame some plant puniness on being a tropical houseplant indoors in Kentuckiana during the winter.
Soon you'll be receiving seed catalogs for the 2011 vegetable-growing season. While listening to the cold wind blow outside, what a comfort it is to think about spring and summer and planning your garden.
This past week the expression "out in the cold" has really meant something.
With temperatures in the single digits and snow covering the ground, I don't think I want to be left out in the cold. Between the wind whipping into every little crease in my clothes, the snow blowing in my face, or the slippery ice under my feet, it can be downright uncomfortable.

The slot-machine-at-the-race-track crowd is trying to run daylight by the rooster. They got a Frankfort judge to rule that slot machines with pictures of dead horses can be placed in the race tracks when slot machines with pictures of cherries, oranges and lemons cannot.
The University of Kentucky College of Agriculture is once again teaming up with the University of Tennessee to offer the sixth-annual Mid-South Stocker Conference set for Feb. 21 and 22 in Bowling Green. This year's conference will provide cattle producers with innovative ideas.
Sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Services of the universities of Kentucky and Tennessee and each state's Cattlemen's Association, in partnership with Bayer Animal Health and BEEF magazine, this year's conference will offer information relative to a changing industry.
As I write, I am comforted by the snow that has accumulated on the boughs of my Nordmann fir and Serbian spruce. It is beautiful, yes, but more important, the snow serves as an insulator against desiccating winds and frigid temperatures. We must not forget that evergreens, particularly broadleaf evergreens like rhododendrons and American hollies, lose a great deal of moisture through their leaves in the winter.
Winter desiccation is not unusual but the effects are magnified coming out of a season of drought.

Plum Creek Baptist Church
Are you the kind of person that needs to know how something works or why you're supposed to do it that way? I have asked the same questions myself. "Why do I have to go to church?" "Why Sunday?" "What's the big deal about church anyway?" I commend you for asking good questions. We need to understand two things: God blesses those who obey Him – even without knowing all the answers; secondly, answers are for our benefit, not God's.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
One campaign ends...
. . . And another begins. Dressed in a black suit and a somber expression, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced on Oct. 27 the end of her failed attempts to form a coalition government and set national elections for Feb. 10. To win, Livni will need to vanquish a tough competitor: Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
The former prime minister has a growing base of support among Israel's right-wing voices, and a victory for Netanyahu could alter the course of the current Israeli-Palestinian peace process launched by the Bush administration a year ago in Annapolis. Netanyahu is strongly opposed to land-for-peace initiatives and has a history of supporting policies that strengthen Israel's grasp of current territory. Recent public opinion polls show Netanyahu and Livni in a dead heat.
China melamine
China will widen its investigation into contaminated food-and so will the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-amid growing evidence that the toxic industrial chemical melamine has leached into the country's animal feed supplies, posing potential health risks to consumers throughout the world. Food safety tests in three provinces in China last week found that eggs were contaminated with melamine, which is blamed for causing kidney stones and renal failure in infants. Already melamine-tainted milk supplies in China have sickened over 50,000 children and caused at least four deaths. In the United States, email rumors about Chinese-made candy threatened to dampen some Halloween activities, but few of those goods actually reach the United States. "Thus far, most of FDA's testing of milk and milk-derived ingredients and products from China focused on human foods, but have included animal feeds as well," said FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Kwisnek. "The FDA is currently re-evaluating its overall approach to keeping these products out of the U.S. market."
Pounds off
Need good news for your wallet? Here's some: The dollar is suddenly worth a lot more in Europe. A year ago Europhiles were decrying $8 cups of coffee in London and thinking about heading to Argentina next time. But in the last few weeks, the $2 it once took to buy £1 has dropped to $1.60, and financial experts say it may go as low as $1.40 in 2009. Harrods, anyone?
Which Obama?
The defense industry is wondering which Barack Obama it will get. A year ago, Obama promised the Caucus for Priorities, a liberal, anti-defense spending group, that he would slash the Pentagon's budget by "tens of billions of dollars." His campaign website, however, didn't mention cuts but focused on increases-upping, for example, the number of U.S. ground troops by 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 marines. Part of that increase could include female ground troops, who may be thrust into forward combat roles under the incoming commander-in-chief. In October Obama national defense spokeswoman Wendy Morigi told reporters that current Pentagon prohibitions on women in combat should be "updated to reflect realities on the ground" in Iraq.
Rained out
The worst flooding to hit Honduras since record-setting Hurricane Mitch struck nearly 10 years to the day later. Three weeks of torrential rains created Mitch-like mudslides in late October, forcing more than 20,000 people from their homes (Honduran newspapers say over 670,000 are affected) and killing at least 29. While the devastation is nowhere near the 10,000 death toll recorded in Central America during Mitch, the slides have created the same widespread need. Operation Blessing International and MAP International combined forces with shipper DHL to rush $150,000 worth of medication, followed by emergency supplies, including MRE meals, blankets, and cans of vegetables. As dozens of families remained in shelters in the capital of Tegucigalpa, even nearby hills are subject to more devastation. "Certain areas of our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods are at risk of greater damage in the days to come," reports Michael Miller, head of the Tegucigalpa-based Micah Project. "Because many houses are built with substandard practices and are literally clinging to the side of hills, the rain is saturating the foundations to the point that they give way."
Waiting game
Even though a jury found Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, guilty Oct. 27 on seven counts of lying about receiving thousands of dollars in gifts from an oil contractor, the day after the election he was still leading by a slim margin in the race against Democrat Mark Begich, 46. With 96 percent of precincts reporting, Stevens, 84, was ahead 48 percent to 47 percent. Stevens' precarious future will come down to more than 40,000 absentee ballots, which officials were set to count within 10 days of the election. Spokesman Aaron Saunders said the long-serving senator was cautiously optimistic about the outcome, while many in the GOP have called for him to step down.
King David lived
Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a shard of pottery at the ruins of an ancient fortified city that is believed to date back to the time of King David. Researchers say carbon dating indicates the fragment, which they unearthed at the Elah Fortress in Khirbet Qeiyafa near Jerusalem, carries the earliest-known Hebrew text-about 1,000 years older than the famed Dead Sea Scrolls. Initial interpretation of the artifact suggests it was a legal text. Until now, archaeological evidence of King David's legendary kingdom has remained exceedingly sparse, leading many scholars to assert that the biblical account was a myth. Lead archaeologist Yosef Garfinkel says continued excavation of the 3,000-year-old site may finally provide clear evidence.
You've got mail
Delinquent borrowers with home mortgages through IndyMac Bank are getting a reprieve from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Trouble is, the message is getting lost in the junk mail.
The FDIC has sent 35,000 notices of a generous program to reduce borrowers' total monthly payments after it assumed control of the overstretched California savings and loan in July. The offer includes potential interest rate reductions to as low as 3 percent, loan extensions to 40 years, and temporary waivers on interest for a portion of the loan balance. The financial industry held high hopes that such a program could serve as a model for other troubled lenders and borrowers.
The unforeseen snag: Only about half of the desperate homeowners targeted for the program have bothered to reply. FDIC officials speculate that many of those receiving letters have long ago stopped opening mortgage-related mail-too stressful.
Congo again
Battles that erupted in late October between the Congolese army and rebel forces under Laurent Nkunda are spiking a humanitarian crisis reminiscent of the confrontation 10 years ago between the government (of then Zaire) and rebels. It ultimately put the current government, led by former rebel Joseph Kabila, into power.
The conflict thus far has displaced more than 1 million people in the North Kivu province and driven thousands across borders into Uganda and Rwanda, according to Samaritan's Purse, which is airlifting supplies into Goma, the provincial capital. As many as 50,000 people have sought refuge in and around Goma despite rebel strongholds there. An 800-man UN peacekeeping force-the largest in the world-is holding the airport but could be pulled. An aid worker told World Relief, "I think Goma is going to fall," and humanitarian workers are staying in nearby Rwanda to escape fighting. World Relief is assisting 3,000 displaced families, and Seattle-based Mercy Corps is providing clean water to the area as well.
Nkunda vowed Nov. 4 to take his battle all the way to the capital, where lawmakers are asking the Kabila government to negotiate rather than reenact the fight of 10 years ago, which claimed the lives of more than 5 million Congolese.
Green gospel
HarperOne released an environmentally friendly Bible last month that uses green ink to highlight more than 1,000 Scripture passages addressing God's care for creation. Available in the New Revised Standard Version, The Green Bible features a cotton-linen cover and is published on recycled paper using soy-based ink. According to the publisher's website, "The Green Bible is the definitive movement Bible that shows that God is green and how we can care for and protect God's creation."
Somalia martyr
Muslim attackers beheaded a Christian aid worker in Somalia who converted from Islam and circulated a video of his death. Mansuur Mohammad, a 25-year-old World Food Program (WFP) worker, is one of 24 aid workers killed in Somalia this year alone. Militants from the al Shahab group intercepted Mohammad and a WFP driver on the morning of Sept. 23, according to Compass Direct News. The driver managed to escape, but Mohammad was paraded before villagers in Manyafulka who were told by the militant group to assemble for a feast. To the horror of the villagers, the militant leaders began to recite from the Quran, accusing Mohammad-who converted two years ago-of apostasy. A witness said Mohammad remained composed, never uttering a word, as his captors yelled "Allahu akbar" ("God is great") and then beheaded him. Some say video of his death is being circulated in an attempt to prevent Muslims from converting to Christianity.
Man knows not his time
Louis H. Evans Jr., pastor of National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., from 1973 to 1991, who counted President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan and other luminaries among his congregants, died Oct. 29 in Fresno, Calif., of ALS, or "Lou Gehrig's Disease." He was 82.
Evans' father was longtime pastor of influential Hollywood Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. The younger Evans married Hollywood actress Colleen Townsend Evans, who gave up her film career to devote herself to him and his ministry. Evans organized a new congregation in his home in 1956, Bel Air Presbyterian Church. By the time he left the church in 1963 it had 700 members. Before and after the Reagans' eight years in Washington, they worshipped at Bel Air under the ministry of Donn Moomaw, who succeeded Evans. Today Bel Air is the city's largest Presbyterian congregation. Following his retirement from National Presbyterian, Evans assisted at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in suburban San Francisco.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 58 years and four children. His son Jamie is pastor of First Presbyterian, Fresno.


text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Members of Perkins County's 125th committee came together last week to put the county's 50-year time capsule into its final resting place in the northeast corner of the courthouse lawn. The capsule was sealed and buried by Holdrege Monument Company on Nov. 20, 2012—to be opened in 2062—hopefully in front of some of the kindergartners who performed during the ceremony held back on Sept. 5 to honor the county and fill the capsule. It contains memorabilia such as photos, history of the area businesses, and a cell phone. It's now buried alongside a 50-year capsule that was put in place during the county's centennial celebration 25 years ago. The former capsule will be opened in 2037. The newly placed capsule will be opened in 2062.

I hope he recovers.
Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Wow, never knew he was such a plain jane guy.

Shes no Stacey Keibler. But she would work in a pinch.
Lesnar will fight again. Another article I read today, one that keeps Dana White out of it, mentioned the procedure and that the bacterial infection is almost completely gone. They expect a full recovery.
Not trying to undermine how serious this is but take a lot of what Dana White says with a grain of salt. When Lesnar fights again White has his perfect hype machine set up.

As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs

I'm not making fun of him for being sick, I'm just saying that he when he looks at his bank statement, and then looks at his wife, it probably doesn't seem so bad. It does suck that he's out, though. Watching him fight is the only reason I would watch a UFC fight.
I have a hard time even reading Brock's name and not thinking of the cheesey Scent Killer commercials on Versus and Sportsmans channel

I agree that you can't take everything Dana says too seriously, but I doubt he is hyping anything here. Keeping the mystique of Brock as an unstoppable smashing machine is probably better for the UFC than showing that he is a human that got really sick and had to have emergency surgery.
He will probably return to fighting but that is a really tough stretch. Mono followed by whatever bacterial infection that was. Mono alone can hold him out for 2 months or so and since it comes out of the EB virus we pretty much all have, he will have the virus for life. It can sometimes flare up again in pro athletes who push their bodies to the limit. Here's to hoping he can make a full recovery and be back at it this summer or so.
Dana White is a bald Don King.
He's a weasel but does a damn good job of it.
I hope Lesnar gets well, but.........................
Ultimate fighting is against the law for any animals except human beings. I think it is a sad commentary on society that this "sport" is so popular.
Fire when ready.

Potato latke, the holy grail of pancakes
(Page 2 of 2)
I'm thinking that it must seem odd to those not of the Jewish faith that people would indulge in a food that makes them bolt upright at 4 a.m. with paralyzing pains in the gut. But you have to understand: it's tradition. Brisket consumed on the Jewish New Year can clog every artery in your heart before Yom Kippur, a week later. Matzo balls, eaten in great quantity over Passover, don't leave the digestive tract for months. Sometimes they don't leave at all, appearing on X-rays years later.
Some folks say the basis of all Jewish celebrations is, They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat.
We eat when babies are born, when boys are circumcised and when people die. We eat to celebrate the harvest and to usher in the Sabbath. But we don't have any salad days or cottage cheese festivals. More often there's soup with dumplings and chicken with potato pudding and beef with fried onions.
My father, who's 93, speaks fondly of his favorite boyhood sandwich: gribines (chicken fat) and fried onions on rye bread.
Latkes, eaten only on Hanukkah, fall into a particular category of foods that are fantastically delicious yet practically lethal. Often fatal. It is not widely know that the endoscope was invented by a Jewish doctor who discovered a connection between people who suffered mid-December indigestion and people who purchased menorahs.
A big problem is denial. People will not accept the fact that, at a certain age, they cannot properly digest fried potato pancakes. Among other ethnicities the problem arises with sausages, dumplings and barbecue.
My fellow baby boomers and I have entered the Pepcid years; more than two latkes is an invitation to all-night indigestion. Psychiatrists consider the consumption of more than four latkes by someone over 50 a suicidal gesture. Six latkes and they issue a do-not-resuscitate order.
I myself am not a statistic — yet. I ate two latkes and got sick but did not wind up in an emergency room. I walked the floors all night contemplating the suffering of my people.
This means, of course, that I have reached the penultimate stage of latke consumption. I have become a one-latke woman.

Lance Bass
Genres: Electronica/Dance, Pop, Soundtracks
James Lance Bass was born on May 4, 1979 in Laure, MS. Bass and his older sister Stacy were raised Southern Baptist in the town of Ellisville by their devout Christian and conservative parents. His father, James Irvin Bass, Jr., was a medical technologist, and his mother Diane (nee Haddock) taught mathematics at a middle school. Although Bass would spend most of his life as an entertainer, it was a love for space travel that appealed to him as a young boy, even traveling to Cape Canaveral in Florida with his father at the age of nine to watch his first live space shuttle launch. This led to attending Space Camp in Titusville, FL, and the beginning of the star's dream to study engineering in ... Continue Bio >>

Q. Roger said he had some physical problems; that his back and leg were bothering him. What did you notice and what is your reaction to him saying that?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he just looking for some excuses after the match or something like that. I mean, it happened to all of us. You know, I think he's been every time when he played, he was I think hundred percent ready.
So maybe right now he's getting some more troubles with the health. But, you know, I think it just happen today. So I didn't know that. I just heard it first time like you said it right now. So, yeah, just to him hope that he's gonna get back soon and that's it what I can just wish him.
Q. He also said he was unlucky and that he definitely gave the match away. What are your thoughts about that?
TOMAS BERDYCH: I don't know in which point he was saying that he was unlucky, if any specific moment or something.
Q. He was saying generally or on big points.
TOMAS BERDYCH: Okay. I mean, yeah, maybe you can take it for both ways. You can say that he was unlucky or you can say that maybe the opponent was a little bit better and he just won the big points against him. In his position, then he lost the match.
You know, I think, yeah, he's a great player. I mean, but still, I mean, when I just read some newspapers in the morning, I was not surprised, but, you know, to heard something from him to the way that he's fine, nothing is bothering him. When we played the last match, I lost. But last time in Wimbledon, I won pretty easily. You know, stuff like that.
You know, I saw him quite first time from him the reactions like that. So whatever. I'm in different position. I'm just enjoying the win today, and this is just everything behind me.
Q. Will this [loss] make you hungrier to make you come back and show you can lift this title again?
ROGER FEDERER: Sure. God, I can't wait for Paris and Wimbledon to come around next year again, that's for sure. So, uhm, because they've been frustrating tournaments for me, even though it wasn't too bad.
Quarters is a decent result. Obviously people think quarters is shocking, but people would die to play in quarterfinal stages of Grand Slam play. It's not something I'm used to doing, losing in quarterfinals, because it's not something I've done in the last six years.
So I am winning my matches. Today was a different story than Paris. I mean, I think in Paris conditions were tough. Robin played fantastic. Today was different. You know, I was struggling with my own game and with my physique.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to a rest, and then attack again in North America.
Q. What concern do you have that the injuries will linger?
ROGER FEDERER: Not much of a concern.
Q. Do you feel you can get back to a position of domination in tennis?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I do think that. That's why I'm here.
Q. You were upset about the overrule call there. What did the chair umpire say to you? How did he explain that? You seemed to start playing very well after that. You had a run of points. What happened there?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, you know, for the umpire sometimes is not easy to make the right decision. For me today was too important point, because was 30‑All to make this drastic decision. For sure if you asking me if that ball affect me, I said yes. When the line say 'out,' I play the shot like this without.
I mean, was a mistake, but everybody can have a mistake. Yes, after that I played very good point on the breakpoint against. I was little bit lucky to do the break in the first game on his serve in the second set. After, I think I played a great match.
Q. You seemed very fired up or angry immediately after that point. Do you think it helped you, the call?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, no, no. Was an important moment for me, because if he did the break in the first game of the second, gonna be hard to accept for me.
But anyway, I gonna fight all the match. But I saved that point, and after that change everything. I think I started to play much better. He started to do a few mistakes, because in the beginning he didn't have no one.
I'm very happy. Very difficult and very important win for me.
Q. How are the courts playing? There's been no rain at all. How are the courts playing?
RAFAEL NADAL: Perfect.
Q. Perfect?
RAFAEL NADAL: Is dry.
Q. Just your conditions?
RAFAEL NADAL: Lot of clay behind the baseline (smiling.) You can move well, so... Perfect conditions.
Q. Do you think Rafa is playing as well this year as anyone? How does he compare, his level, as in the French Open?
ROBIN SODERLING: Well, I think he's playing well. He's hitting the ball very well. Of course, he's moving well, as always.
But, you know, it's very difficult to compare how he's playing on grass compared to clay. But he's the world No. 1, and I think he's playing pretty solid tennis. He's got a good chance to win this one.
Q. You say he has a good chance to win the tournament?
ROBIN SODERLING: I think so, yeah. I think everybody still in has a good chance. But now that Roger lost, I'd pick him as the favorite.
Q. You looked excited by your performance today.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah, it's really refreshing, you know, to perform this way I'd say after a while. You know, I was struggling with the level of my performance throughout the last five, six months. It was a lot of ups and downs.
But right now I'm playing great. It definitely makes me happy.
Q. You said the game has changed for you. You've been struggling for the last couple months. What has changed or turned the tide for you?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, I don't think game‑wise I was far away from my maximum and from my top game in the last couple months. It was more like a mental struggle, I guess. I wasn't finding myself on the court. I was ‑‑ uhm, had too much distractions, meaning mental discomfort on the court; wasn't feeling great; had a lot of ups and downs.
But it's a part of the sport, part of the career. You just have to accept it that way. I'm sure everybody has been through that little mini crisis if you want to call it.
But it's important to take the best out of it and continue in the right way. That's what I did. I just want to look forward now.
Q. Now you got to one Grand Slam quarterfinal. Have you got more in you?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I mean, is great. Is great for me. Now I know how I can reach the quarterfinal. Is good experience for me.
And I cannot say next time I play the US Open or next time coming back I have to be quarterfinal. But I know, and I knew, how I have to be, then I can reach the quarterfinal.
So I like to coming back here again and to play good tennis and to be ready next year. And also I hope I can play next time against Djokovic again. I mean, probably he's now happy. Today's too easy for him. I mean, I will try my best next year, yeah.
Q. What aspects of your game do you think you have to improve to compete with guys like Djokovic today?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I mean, I think of course probably I need to find some way to get the points. I think we play a little bit similar, but he's playing more fast, more aggressive than me. Also the returns, I have to bring more back to him, then I have chance to play the points.
So, I mean, everything I have, I still have space to improve. I mean, I'm not just think, Yeah, is great, is finish my career. I know I have many things to improve. Serve, you know. Physically, forehand, backhand, everything. I have to discuss my coach, conditioning trainer also, to see what we can do the next.
Q. What are your thoughts on the keys to playing well against Nadal?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, you need to serve well and you need to play great tennis. It's not, you know ‑‑ there's not one way to play against him. You don't want to leave the ball in the middle of the court to his forehand, because you'll do a lot of running.
But you've got to serve well and, you know, try and, you know, keep a good length and play well really, really, really well.
Q. How much have you seen of Nadal here this year and what have you made of him?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, I've seen him play a little bit. Not that much. You know, we've been playing a lot of our matches ‑‑ we obviously play on the same day, and you're kind of focused on your match and obviously preparing for that.
Uhm, I saw a little bit of his match against Robin Haase and a little bit of his match against Petzschner. I followed his match with Petzschner. I saw a bit of that.
He's playing great. He's in the semifinals of a Grand Slam and he beat Soderling today, who's, well, playing the best tennis of his career. You know, he's a great player, too. So he's obviously playing very well.
Q. Do you take any sort of psychological edge after beating him in Australia?
ANDY MURRAY: No. I think, you know, he would definitely be the favorite for the match, you know, with his results here the last few years.
You know, he obviously didn't get a chance to defend his title last year, but he's played three finals in a row and now he's in the semis here.
You know, he's obviously a very tough player on any surface, but he plays great tennis here. No, I mean, psychologically I need to believe that I can win the match. That's the most important thing.
Q. Everyone in England will get excited about Murray maybe winning Wimbledon. How do you rate his chances?
JO‑WILFRIED TSONGA: Yeah, I hope is gonna be him. I told him, you know, at the net, Make me a pleasure; go all the way, you know.
Yeah, I hope he will win because it's a good player. It's never easy to play, you know, in front of his crowd. He's really strong, and I hope he will win.

HE SAID/HE SAID: Wimbledon Day Nine
Q. Roger said he had some physical problems; that his back and leg were bothering him. What did you notice and what is your reaction to him saying that?
3 comments:
Is it just me, or was Berdych acting like a prat calling fed out for his injuries? I mean sure, Fed was acting like a sore loser but actually suggesting your opponent was lying is a bit over the top. Good for him he played solid tennis and reached the semis, but seriously, don't really have to turn ATP into WTA. Sounded more like the female tennis players quibbling about each other...ReplyDelete
Sure he's hearing this injury info right then and there in the presser after the biggest win of his career. I would imagine he was taken aback and also disappointed to hear Fed's comments espesh since Berdy believes he won because he was the better baller on the day and not because of any injury issues with his opponent.ReplyDelete
Basically, he had the same reaction to Fed's comments as many media and fans (me included) did after hearing them for the first time. Where did this come from and why now?
I guess he could've been more diplomatic but it probably felt like a slap in the face at that moment.
I get it when he says that Fed could have admitted that the better player won, but seriously the one about the injury is just...lame (can't think of any other word right now)...ReplyDelete

Yost Contract and Trade Deadline Press Conference Notes
Royals general manager Dayton Moore and his entire staff have had a busy few weeks, all culminating in a press conference today at Kauffman Stadium at 3:30 p.m. Moore and surprise attendee Royals manager Ned Yost sat down at the desk in front of local media to talk about a few subjects on today's agenda.
The first topic was the announcement that the club and Yost had agreed to a two-year contract, keeping the manager in Kansas City through at least 2012.
Yost was asked how this situation in Kansas City compared to his time in Milwaukee, when he took over a club coming off a 106-loss season in 2002. The KC skipper said that while Milwaukee had a lot of very good prospects (Prince Fielder, J.J. Hardy, Rickie Weeks among them), they were at lower levels of the system than the bulk of the top prospects the Royals have currently. He also mentioned that Milwaukee was unbalanced when it came to prospects, as they loaded up on power hitters and lacked in front-line pitchers. He sees a great mix of both pitchers (and power pitchers at that) and position prospects on the Royals farm.
Yost mentioned that he knew during spring training, as he took a look around the Royals' complex in Surprise, that this is where he wanted to be long term. He mentioned that building relationships are the key ingredient to building championship ballclubs and putting the pieces together to build a champion is one of the most fun things in life to do. He plans to accomplish that here in Kansas City and to do it together with the people in the front office he's built very strong relationships with thus far.
Moore was asked why he thought Yost was the right man to lead this club forward both in the short and long term. He responded that Yost's leadership abilities are off the charts and his experience both in Atlanta and Milwaukee building a winner was a very important component. Moore did admit quite candidly that he had done his due diligence looking around at other managerial candidates, but he believes he found the right guy here. The communication between Moore and Yost, an extremely key component to building a winner, works very well.
The second topic was the big trade that sent outfielder Rick Ankiel and pitcher Kyle Farnsworth to the Atlanta Braves for outfielder Gregor Blanco and pitchers Jesse Chavez and Tim Collins. From all indications, the deal was finalized and approved by the commissioner's office very close to the 3 p.m. CT deadline. Both Blanco and Chavez will join the Royals soon while Collins, a fireballing left-handed reliever, will report to Triple-A Omaha.
The 26-year-old Blanco was hitting .310 in limited time with the Braves this season and made his debut in 2008, posting a good rookie campaign with Atlanta in which he finished with a .366 on-base percentage. Royals GM Dayton Moore compared the speedy outfielder to Mitch Maier, in that he can play all three outfield positions well and can handle the bat. He likes the fact that the club controls Blanco for four more seasons so the team will have a chance to evaluate him as they move forward.
Chavez is 26. He is a right-handed reliever with a very good arm who has been inconsistent for the past three seasons in the big leagues with the Pirates and Braves. Chavez was traded this offseason for former Rays second baseman Akinori Iwamura and then for All-Star closer Rafael Soriano. The California native will join the Royals bullpen.
Finally, 20-year-old left-hander Tim Collins has had a whirlwind month of July. He was first a key part of the July 14 trade that sent shortstop Alex Gonzalez to Atlanta and shortstop Yunel Escobar to Toronto. Small in stature at 5-foot-7, the southpaw has a well above-average fastball and an overhand curve that he has employed to post a 2.29 ERA and 87 strikeouts in just 51.0 innings at the Double-A level in 2010. Moore compared Collins to closer Billy Wagner, who currently has 409 saves in the Majors. The Royals GM told the media that his scouts have indicated to him Collins has a chance to be a contributor in the big league bullpen as early as next season.

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
A place for everything; everything in its place
A place for everything; everything in its place. Such was the philosophy that an older friend lived by, one instilled in her by her father. Her desk was always neat. Her small house was always neat. I know many people who seem to have that trait of organization and I envy them. When I grow up, I want to have a clutter-free life. What a dream!
Such is not my life today. Some of the steps to get there seem simple enough. Handle mail daily. Put away one thing before getting out another. Have a system to deal with dirty clothes and dirty dishes. I can do that. But it just doesn't seem to happen all the time.
It's been years ago when one of the sessions at a newspaper conference was about getting organized. "Taming the Paper Tiger," was the book written by the presenter. She covered how to handle all the paper in your office and home, but it also addressed other aspects in life, like dealing with laundry, wardrobe control, housework, photos and family schedules.
One of the suggestions was keeping a planner with you including a calendar, a section on tasks that needed done, things you needed to buy when you next went shopping, all addresses and phone numbers that you acquire. Everything was at your fingertips wherever you were.
Many people follow this concept, most today using computers, palm pilots or some electronic medium. In fact, I've heard people refer to losing their brain if they don't have their planner. Even the smallest phones are now worth a wealth of information (sometimes only as good as the backup).
This presenter made a living organizing people's lives. She told of companies who utilized a "file cleanout day" each year. The office was closed and everyone was instructed what to keep, what to pack up for storage and what to get rid of. That would relate more to the dated business papers. It's so much easier to file and find things when the folders and drawers aren't crammed full.
She also had a plan of dealing with laundry and suggested having a basket for the different loads in your closet, one for whites, one for coloreds, one for delicates, one for jeans. As you take off your clothes, they go in the right container. Hence the laundry is already sorted and contained. Of course you also have to have a follow-through plan for getting it washed, dried, folded and put away, but you could deal with that one load at a time.
I also recall a "Junk It" tape I listened to years ago. It, too, dealt with getting organized and focused on sorting items into what to keep, what to give away and what to throw away, mainly encouraging getting rid of things.
There are websites for tips and T.V. shows when organizers literally go into a home and coach how to get rid of things and get organized. Why is it we think we have to save so much? The real trick is remembering that you saved it and knowing where it is should you ever want it. And the solution is not only to get to the point where things are organized but to commit to a daily routine of how to keep it that way.
It's amazing how quickly a clean room can turn into the shambles. Dealing with it immediately is what's key. And it's not enough just for you to get in good habits. Everyone in the family needs to join in. That is unless you want to become the slave. Many of you know how that goes and believe me, if you do it for them, they'll let you. Even a two-year-old can learn to pick up. Now a 51-year-old? Well, I haven't given up on him yet.
More recently, I've listened to Peter Walsh on Oprah Radio when I'm on the road. He's an Australian and I love the accent, but I really appreciate the little tips (especially when my husband is also listening). One of his books focuses not only on the "things" that junk up your life but the chaos and junk in your attitude that interfere with a happy marriage, good relationships and general contentment.
So why, when I have all this advice available and I know what is effective, is my life full of clutter? My office is a mess. My bedroom's a mess. My mind's a mess. It's poisonous! Even when things look okay, I know the drawers, closets and storage room are full of clutter.
Yes, I have the planners. Messages pop up and beepers beep to remind me of things, but too many times, I hit snooze, snooze, snooze and don't just check things off the list. There's always something else. Then the list gets so long that I avoid it.
As I've browsed through my columns over the past years, I'm amazed at how many times I've written about this very topic. Oh my gosh. How many times have I had a new motivation that I just knew was going to change my life forever?
Yet why did I allow myself to falter into old habits? What is it that some people have that makes them "get it" and actually "do it?" Is it genetic? Kids raised in the same environment grow up with one being tidy and the other a slob. Of course there are those people who have far too much stress in their lives because they freak out if something's out of place. I don't need to worry about getting to that point.
This weekend I made an honest effort to attack a room that can't serve its purpose as an extra guest room because it's full of piles. While sorting, I found myself stopping to read things that were interesting, but stopped my progress. I love having the grandkids around, but I turned around to find some books I had just organized on the shelf spread on the floor. The packing peanuts that I finally threw away were fun for them to cut up after finding the little scissors that surfaced. I had a worse mess. But what's a mess compared to the value of watching their minds at work and to see them dance to the kids' music we found?
Besides, after they were gone, I drifted off to something else anyway and eventually treated myself to a Christmas movie. I need to focus on what I did accomplish rather than what remains. And I need to keep attacking in smaller time increments rather than thinking I need a whole day.
Okay clutter! Watch out! One of these days my motivation is going to actually stick. Be ready trash dumpsters.

The more I think about it, the sadder a story it seems to become. Perhaps my wishing to know the rest of the story is rooted in a desire to hear that everything worked out alright in the end.Delete
Whether I ever find out or not, I hope it did, for Stella's sake.
A wild thing..now that could have meant many things. Misbehavior at a family function to running away and always testing rules. Perhaps her Father adored her and he indulged her...so she was spoiled rotten and she did whatever she liked. :).ReplyDeleteReplies
Now, that could be a real possibility, Far Side. Sounds reasonable to me.Delete
I'm with Far Side, "Wild thing" is hard to interpret!ReplyDelete
If Mabel lived in Sacramento until 1984 - she would have been 77 years old at that time. One would think she was retired by then... Deming, NM is pretty much the middle of nowhere - If this "is her" I wonder what drew her to Deming?Replies
Well, the only approach I can think of now is to rule out that Mabel Hines in Deming as a possibility. I had thought at one point that perhaps she married and had children of her own--but I can't find any sign of that.Delete
I also can't find any sign of her in the Sacramento area, either. Who knows what would have drawn her--if it is her--to Deming, New Mexico. Of course, who knows what would have brought her to Sacramento, either. It certainly wasn't so she could live closer to me ;)

The Bard rocks in 'Last Goodbye'
Globe's 'The Last Goodbye' treats Jeff Buckley's songs and Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' as soul mates
Young lives bursting with passion and promise, then blinking out just as dreams near sweet reality.
That's the tragedy at the heart of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the tale of two soul mates sacrificed to their families' bad blood.
It's also, in its own way, the story of Jeff Buckley, the gifted guitarist, singer and songwriter who was just finding wider fame and acclaim when he drowned accidentally in 1997 at the age of 30.
Buckley's brooding, sometimes elegiac music tells stories of bruised hearts and tattered hopes, filtered through a street poet's sensibility.
Now his much-loved music and the Bard's monumental play are finding a common voice in "The Last Goodbye," a rock-musical adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet" named for a song on "Grace," Buckley's first and only studio album.
The Old Globe Theatre — an institution rooted in Shakespeare and renowned for shepherding high-profile musicals — is staging this reconception of a show first produced about three years ago in Massachusetts.
"The Last Goodbye" has a new cast and a new director in Alex Timbers, who takes over from Michael Kimmel, the project's originator and adapter.
But both writer and director say the show, which could have eventual Broadway prospects, retains a remarkable resonance between Buckley's songs and the Bard's work.
"The poetry of Jeff Buckley's lyrics and the themes of loss and longing and mourning are such a great fit with the story and Shakespeare's poetry," says Timbers, the much-in-demand director whose résumé includes the recent off-Broadway hit "Here Lies Love" and the upcoming Broadway musical "Rocky."
"And the more I've worked on this show, (the more it seemed) they just dovetail so well. It's almost a little uncanny."
That said, Timbers adds, "This is Shakespeare. It's not our gloss on Shakespeare. It is Shakespeare.
"I didn't want to do some kind of muted, shiny musical-theater version of (the play). This should be treated with the gravity it deserves."
Romancing an idea
The concept for "The Last Goodbye" first came to Kimmel in 2007, when he was listening to Buckley's music on his iPod while walking through Manhattan one day.
The song "Forget Her" came on, and it stirred something in his brain: the memory of an early scene from "Romeo and Juliet" in which the character Benvolio questions his friend Romeo's infatuation with the uninterested Rosalind.
"Be ruled by me," Benvolio says. "Forget to think of her."
Kimmel, who was working on a different Shakespeare project at the time, says he "started to see the song as sort of an extension of that conversation. And from there it just became, 'Well, there's no way it could work with the rest of the play!' And little by little we found that it did."
Eventually, Kimmel put together enough of a rough version to offer a private presentation to Mary Guibert, Buckley's mother and the guardian of his legacy. (Buckley's father was the folk singer-songwriter Tim Buckley; he likewise met a tragic end, from a drug overdose in 1975.)
With her approval, a concert reading followed, and finally the 2010 production at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Timbers then caught wind of the piece, and as Kimmel puts it: "You'd be crazy if Alex Timbers wants to work on your show, not to say yes immediately."
Timbers retained choreographer Sonya Tayeh (of TV's "So You Think You Can Dance" fame) and music director Kris Kukul, but shifted the show's setting from contemporary back to the original period, and held extensive workshops on various aspects of piece, from movement to orchestrations to design.
As "The Last Goodbye" jelled, Timbers says, he and his collaborators asked each other: "'OK, if we could fantasize about where we would do a Shakespeare musical, where would that be?' And it was, 'Well, the Old Globe would probably be the coolest place you could do it.' "

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Much of the debris from superstorm Sandy has a big coating of snow on it Thursday morning, thanks to the Nor'easter storm battering areas to our north.
9 News reporter Kristin Fisher reported on the storm and its effects on travel at Reagan National Airport Thursday morning. Almost ever flight to and from New York and New Jersey, more than 1,000 flights, were cancelled as a result of the bad weather.
The travel isn't any better by train. Wednesday night, people stood in long lines for the Long Island Railroad. Snow-covered tracks suspended service for several hours. It's now back, but on a limited schedule.
Penn Station was shut down for almost an hour due to overcrowding. The closure and the freezing cold resulted in some very frustrated commuters.
Keep in mind, this nor'easter moved ashore in the exact same location where Superstorm Sandy hit. Nearly 800,000 homes and businesses are still without power. Some people had just gotten their power back after 10 days with no electricity and now, they've lost power again.
Can you imagine? First, a once-in-a-century hurricane then a nor'easter just 10 days later? As one Long Island resident with no power said, "I feel like I'm living in a sequel to a bad horror movie!"
It's a sentiment shared by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. At a press conference Wednesday, he said he's waiting for the locusts and pestilence next.

Game publisher Electronic Arts, Xbox maker Microsoft and leading retailer GameStop are among 259 corporations that have been awarded perfect scores for their treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors.
The announcement comes by way of advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and is contained in its 2009 Corporate Equity Index. HRC Foundation President Joe Solmonese commented:
The 2009 Corporate Equality Index shows that corporate America understands that a diverse workforce is critical to remaining successful and competitive. In the absence of a federal law that prohibits workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, it is up to employers to take the lead and implement policies that ensure all their employees are protected.
Game-related companies which also received perfect scores include retailers Best Buy and Target; PC manufacturers Dell and HP; chip maker Intel; online auction site Ebay; and search companies Google and Yahoo. Also on the list, Apple, increasingly seeming like an up-and-coming game biz player.
GP: We've been beating on EA and Microsoft of late over a couple of (well-deserved) issues, but must give credit where it is due. Well done!

Airbus must compete now on a level playing field
April 03, 2011
One must wonder why The European Commission would welcome last week's World Trade Organization's final case ruling on subsidies, as it clearly favors Boeing over Airbus. Still, a proud face was put up by the EU members, who maintain that Boeing has received subsidies in the past and continues to receive them today.
All too true, Boeing admits, but the scale of those federal and state gifts for NASA-related programs pales in comparison. Airbus received more than $20 billion in impermissible funding versus $2.7 billion for Boeing.
As I reported in Supply Chain Management Review, Boeing executives said that measuring this decision with that of last June reveals a market distorted by Airbus' practices, with illegal launch aid being the "key discriminator."
Added Boeing: "The WTO ruling on launch aid goes to the heart of the Airbus business model, which now must change. In contrast, there are no comparable findings or consequences to the U.S. or Boeing from today's decision, as the WTO has now fully and finally rejected most of the EU's claims."
The EU's countersuit victory is pyrrhic at best, as it means Airbus will now have to scramble in an effort to recover market share without massive government aid.

I've recently been writing a story and drawing maps for an old-school top-down RPG Flash series I want to make, but when I first attempted to recreate the maps using GIMp I learned that I don't have anything like the skill set I think I'd need for such a project. Soooo I'm going to spend a bit of money and get it done better for me. I believe that this project would be rather simple for a more experienced cartographer.
I've never commissioned anything before, so this part is a little new for me. I'd prefer not to spend any more than $50, but this is negotiable.
Time Constraints:
I don't really have any time constraints, as this is a solo project and just something I personally want to do. That having been said, I'd rather not wait for months either... Whatever is reasonable.
The style I'm going for is very simple. I'm looking for a 8 or 16-bit map like one you'd find in SNES games (such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior). Here are a few examples:
Description of Map:
The world will consist of two large continents, with many smaller islands. It will be about a third of the size of the earth. In the end, I'd like it labeled with all of the names of the cities and important places (forests, mountains, caves). If interested, I will e-mail scans of my hand-drawn maps.
Quality and Size:
Professional quality please (if there would even be a clear difference on a map like this?). As for size I'm not entirely sure, I just know I'd like a poster of it for my bedroom wall and I need to include it in the game. Large enough that one can clearly read the map's labels.
As with everything else I know nothing about copyrights, but I don't care too much about it in this case either. I suppose I'd like the rights to use the image for commercial purposes but I don't mind if the cartographer uses it in a portfolio.
Thank you very much for reading over this. I am very excited about getting the ball rolling on this. E-mail me at archaides(at)gmail(dot)com for more information on price, pictures of the map I have in mind, or questions about my request. Keep in mind that the price is somewhat negotiable; If its in reason I'll definitely consider it.
