Billy Joel 2016 Tour
After W-2 and 1099s were filed and postmarked on April 15, Billy Joel helped his hometown of New York City forget about their Tax Day woes with a fantastic concert held at Madison Square Garden. The singer put on a marathon performance, as only he knows how, delighting fans with all of the best of his extensive repertoire. "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "Captain Jack" are staples of his two-hour shows, and although Joel hasn't released new material for several years, it doesn't seem to matter to audiences at all. HIs next concert is scheduled for April 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tickets are available now for just $80 and up.

He is putting on another tour that goes across the United States and even hits up some Canadian cities. On April 15, Billy Joel will be performing at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.

This week, Billy Joel announced that he will add another concert to his monthly Madison Square Garden residency. This will make it his 34th show, which breaks records as the longest residency at Madison Square Garden. Joel also makes sure to give back. He recently donated $1 million to help a struggling school, Long Island High School for the Arts. It is the only public art program in Long Island, and as a native of the area, Joel wanted to be sure to keep the arts program alive. In addition to his dates at Madison Square Garden, Joel is also heading around the country. You can still get the tickets for prices starting at $39.

Billy Joel started off his year of touring this week with a concert at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, and took the time to honor both late musicians during the set. The audience clearly loved his rendition of Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" and the way Joel took them through his own versions of "Take it Easy" and "Desperado" to honor the Eagles guitarist.

11/30/15 - Did you know that when Billy Joel isn't busy performing iconic songs like "Uptown Girl," "The Piano Man," and "Just the Way You Are," he's hustling real estate in Florida? That's right.

9/14/15 - Billy Joel took the stage last week at the Pepsi Center in Denver and sure looked good while doing so. Dressed in a dark suit and sporting a clean-shaven head and well-groomed, white goatee, this classy superstar wowed the fans at the packed arena. After recovering from the show, which clearly left him exhausted, he traveled to his home state of New York to commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Vice President Biden, who was also in attendance, honored Joel by stating he helped the country learn to heal with music. Joel will remain in the Big Apple for the next couple weeks until a scheduled concert at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 26. Seating behind the stage is available starting at $71, but if you want a better view prices start at $124.
9/7/15 - When you go to a Billy Joel concert, there are certain songs you expect to hear, but there are also songs that you desperately wish to hear. Joel has made a triumphant return to the stage in recent years, and is proving his skill at finding that perfect balance of number-one hits and the deeper cuts that make for a great set. Of course, he plays classics such as "Uptown Girl" and "Just The Way You Are," but he has also been pulling out lesser-heard tunes such as "Running On Ice," "Sleeping With The Television On" and "No Man's Land." Join the fans in Denver, Colorado, for a concert at the Pepsi Center on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Tickets are available starting at $48 for seats in the upper balcony.
8/31/15 - New father and "Piano Man" Billy Joel is winding down his 2015 tour, with just eight stops to go until the final show on Thursday, December 17 at Madison Square Garden. He'll be making his way back from San Francisco, where his next show will take place on Saturday, September 5, across the country to New York before wrapping up his hit tour. No matter where in the country you live, you won't want to miss Joel as his tour concludes. He's known for his surprises, and that was certainly true at his last show in Chicago when comedienne Amy Schumer and Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence suddenly appeared on stage to dance to "Uptown Girls." Tickets to Saturday's show at AT&T Park in San Francisco start at $47.
8/26/15 - Billy Joel may be a born and raised New Yorker, but this week he was more than happy to be in the Windy City for a show at Wrigley Field. The sports venue is a really fun place to see a show, and, if ticket sales were any indication, the music fans in Chicago were really excited he was there, too. There were even some celebrities in attendance! Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence filmed themselves singing and dancing alongside Joel to "Uptown Girl" at a concert rehearsal before the main event. The next show in the tour isn't until late next week, giving the singer some time to spend with family. The Saturday, Sept. 5 show is scheduled for the AT&T Park in San Francisco, California. Tickets can be purchased now for $52 and up.
8/19/15 - The Piano Man Billy Joel is taking a brief break from his ongoing tour to enjoy time with his wife, Alexis, and their new daughter Della Ray, but his name is still in the spotlight. Actor Kevin Spacey stopped by the Tonight Show this week to tell host Jimmy Fallon about one of his favorite moments with the famed singer-songwriter. Joel was receiving the Gershwin Prize and Spacey was invited to play the intro to "Piano Man" on the harmonica. Spacey said that although he did not really know how to play the harmonica, he agreed to learn the part for the evening. Come catch Joel when he hits the road again. His next show is tonight at Madison Square Garden. Tickets start at $179.
8/10/15 - Billy Joel has officially become a father for the second time! At 66 years old, he and his new wife, Alexis, have welcomed their brand new baby girl to the world and named her Della Ray. The first photographs were shared just a few hours ago, and she is a doll! Joel has one other daughter, a 29-year-old named Alexa who is a singer/songwriter just like her dad. Billy and his wife will take a little more time to adjust being new parents, but on Aug. 20 he will return to the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City as a part of the once a month gig has going on with the venue. Tickets are on sale now with prices starting at $114.
8/3/15 - The Piano Man had the immense honor of performing the final concert at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island on Tuesday night. The Coliseum originally opened in 1972 and has seen the likes of musical legends including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Elvis Presley. On Tuesday, however, it was Billy Joel who took the stage in front of a sold out crowd to perform three hours and 20 minutes of hits. Joel opened, appropriately, with "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" and only escalated the energy from there. He also had a few surprises for fans in attendance, including a cameo by another legendary songwriter. Paul Simon appeared on stage and performed "Homeward Bound" with Joel, sending the crowd erupting into cheers. Don't miss Joel's next show on Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA.
7/20/15 - Brooklyn native Billy Joel has big plans for one legendary venue in his hometown. The Nassau Coliseum is 43 years old and will be shutting down soon for a remodel, and Joel recently hinted at what he was planning for the send-off concert. It sounds like he will be inviting other artists who have ties to the old arena to perform along with him at the Aug. 4 event. These are huge names like Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett! You can get your tickets for the exciting upcoming performance from us for the starting price of $107. If you don't want to wait until then to see the Piano Man, you can also catch him on Saturday, July 25 at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. We also have tickets for that concert available for $95 and up.
7/13/15 - Billy Joel loves the game of baseball and it shows through his lyrics and all of the ballpark locations he is playing at this summer as he tours. Not only does Billy Joel play at the famous Fenway Park in Boston, MA on July 16, but he is also scheduled to hit the stage at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL on August 27. While he is on tour, the super star singer is going to take advantage of all the perks her can get, and performing on baseball diamonds is one of them. His tour doesn't wrap up until December of this year, so you have a lot of opportunities to get your Billy Joel fix in before the year is over. We still have tickets available for all concert locations, so get yours today.
7/6/15 - Did you hear that Billy Joel got married on Saturday? If you didn't, don't feel bad. Not many people knew, as the superstar kept the whole thing under wrap. He married Alexis Roderick after six years of dating. At the ceremony Joel's daughter, Alexa, who is a budding artist herself, presented a poem that touched on the joy she felt at the union. The newlyweds are expecting another daughter later this year. Joel will be back on stage late next week, as he is scheduled for a concert at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday, July 16. The show is scheduled to begin at 6:30PM and we have tickets still available for purchase. Prices start at $99 and go up from there. Come congratulate the groom and enjoy a great night of music!
6/29/15 - On Wednesday night, Billy Joel performed for the 65th time at Madison Square Garden and by doing so, has officially broken the record for most concerts by a single artist at the venue. MSG has become somewhat of a second home for the Piano Man, who grew up in nearby Brooklyn. The show was full of all the energy you would expect from a man who has accomplished so much in his career. While he mostly played piano and sang, he also proved his chops on the guitar and the harmonica. He will travel to Boston on July 16, where he will play a show at Fenway Park. Tickets are available for $81 and up. His next concert at Madison Square Garden is set for Aug. 20.
6/22/15 - Billy Joel may be one of the most famous musicians of all time, but even he changes his plans when someone as important as Pope Francis comes to town. The singer, famous for songs such as "The Piano Man," has graciously announced that he will change the date of a scheduled concert at Madison Square Garden from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26 in order to accommodate the visit from the revered religious leader. All those who purchased tickets before the change was announced can rest assured that their tickets are valid for the new date. Joel will be on stage at MSG on Wednesday, July 1 as a part of residency concert at the New York venue. Tickets for that show are available now at the starting price of $98.
6/15/15 - Closing out the Bonnaroo music festival is an honor for any artist, and this year that honor went to Billy Joel, who played many of his best hits to the enormous crowd. After nostalgia-inducing renditions of songs such as "Piano Man," "Uptown Girls," "She's Always A Woman" and "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me," he switched things up a bit and decided to cover AC/DC's "Highway To Hell." The fact that Joel hasn't recorded or performed new work in the last 20 years hasn't affected the caliber of his performances; his timeless songs and superb stage presence make him a multi-generational fan favorite and he has no trouble selling out huge arenas. Up next is a performance at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, June 20. Get your tickets starting at $61.
6/8/15 - The Piano Man delivered a superb show in Virginia Beach on Saturday, dazzling and humoring crowds at the Farm Bureau Live. At one point during the show, he pretended to hang his head in shame as he said "I got nothing new for you." You could hear fans laughing all throughout the audience, as Joel hasn't released any new music in well over 20 years. He also pleased fans by letting them choose between different songs that they wanted to hear. They ultimately chose "Vienna," a song with heavy Beatles influences off of The Stranger album. Joel of course closed the night down with "Piano Man," inviting the audience to sing the final verse. Voices of thousands of fans were heard signing in unison as the evening drew to a close.
6/1/15 - Playing a show at the infamous Madison Square Garden is impressive, but doing so over 60 times is superbly impressive. There are only two artists to have accomplished the latter: Billy Joel and Elton John. Later this month, Joel is set to tie John's record for playing at the venue a whopping 64 times, and in July, he will surpass that achievement. With his semi-residency concert at the NYC arena, Joel is scheduled to play at what he calls "my home away from home" once a month for the time being. On Saturday, June 6, he will be playing at the Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach. Tickets are still available for that performance, and prices start at $136. Those who wish to see the historic MSG concert will have to wait until June 20, and those seats start at $85.
5/25/15 - Classic rocker Billy Joel took a brief break from his ongoing 2015 Tour to attend a special ceremony last Friday. Joel attended the commencement ceremony for graduates of Stony Brook University, where he received an honorary doctorate degree in music. He also addressed the graduating class, telling them that they are wasting their time if they are not doing what they love. Joel also acknowledged that he considers himself extremely lucky to be doing what he loves, as he discovered he wanted to become a musician at a very early age. Come see the Piano Man and brand new Doctor of Music when he takes the stage at Madison Square Garden this Thursday, May 28. Tickets continue to be available in varying prices and quantities.
5/21/15 - The Piano Man himself visited Minneapolis on Saturday, thrilling a sold out Target Center of some 19,000 fans along his extensive 2015 tour. Iconic rocker Billy Joel proved he's still going strong, even following a brief break from the tour to relish in the exciting news that he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby girl. Joel appeared refreshed and relaxed at Saturday's show, even stopping several times during the high-energy performance to reminisce and crack jokes. "My Life" was the show opener, followed by an inspired collection of hits including "Pressure," "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) and even the obscure fan-chosen "The Downeaster 'Alexa.'" Joel's next stop takes place next Thursday, when he takes the stage once again at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.
5/11/15 - Fans of Billy Joel receive a memorable experience every time they go to see him on concert, and his latest tour is no exception. His appearance at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, has another reason to be special. This will be the 32nd time Bill Joel plays this arena, and it will be the last event prior to its closing down for a major renovation. The New York Islanders hockey team are moving to Brooklyn, so the city is turning the arena into a new center that will focus on staging entertainment shows. This is not the first time that Billy Joel has been the last act at a legendary stadium; he also closed down Shea Stadium in 2008. Tickets to all shows are still on sale, with prices starting at $114.
4/21/15 - Following last week's announcement that Billy Joel and his girlfriend Alexis Roderick are expecting a baby, Joel's 29-year-old daughter added to the exciting news that the baby is a girl! Using the hashtag #themorethemerrier, Alexa, who is also a singer and songwriter, gushed that her best friends have always been her siblings, and she is excited to once again be a big sister. The father-to-be will also be receiving an honorary doctorate degree in music from Stony Brook University next month. This is a huge honor for the accomplished and revered musician, who has donated two grand pianos to the music department. You can celebrate both of these happy events alongside Billy Joel at the May 1 concert in Kansas City, MO. Our tickets will set you back just $85 and up.
4/15/15 - As the iconic Piano Man Billy Joel takes a brief hiatus from his widely successful 2015 news, the singer recently announced some very exciting news. Joel and his longtime girlfriend Alexis Roderick told reporters today that they are expecting their first child together. This is the couple's first child together, although it's not the first time Joel has been a dad-to-be. The new addition is due this summer. There are no reports on whether or not Joel expects to take time off when the baby is born, but at the present he expects to continue on all scheduled tour stops. Come support the expecting father and Piano Man himself at his next stop, which will takes place on May 1 at the Spirit Center in Kansas City, MO.
4/6/15 - Billy Joel has been making a tremendous impact on the music industry ever since he got his start in 1973, but his influence is extending to a rather unexpected place this year. A Long Island law school is holding a conference based on the lyrics of many of Joel's songs, and organizers are planning lectures with titles such as "How the Rules of Evidence Handcuff the Piano Man." While some may not take the conference seriously, it sure sounds more interesting than hearing about legal briefs! Luckily, you don't have to attend that event to learn about Billy Joel songs; he is coming to concert in a city near you! His next appearance will be on Friday, May 1 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO. Get your tickets today for $37 and up.
3/12/15 - The reviews are in for Monday night's concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, and they are virtually unanimous: Billy Joel was simply sensational. Despite being a regular performer at the venue and across the world, he has a knack for making each performance something special, and Monday night at The Garden was no exception. Of course he played all of his greatest hits, including "Piano Man," "Uptown Girl," "Movin' Out," and "Only the Good Die Young," but the audience was also surprised with an appearance by world-famous violinist, Yitzhak Perlman for a lovely rendition of "Downeaster Alexa." Joel will take a break for the next week or so before his next concert, which is scheduled on March 20 in Syracuse, NY at the Carrier Dome.
3/5/15 - Despite the fact that Billy Joel hasn't written a song in more than twenty years, he remains one of the most relevant pop artists out there. His repertoire is so large that it's impossible to sing every fan favorite in just one show, despite the fact that he usually performs for at least two hours. On stage, an eight-piece band typically accompanies him as he plays piano and sings. Many of the members have been touring with him since the beginning, and that familiarity and camaraderie are apparent as they occasionally veer from the set list to do an audience request or a cover, making each show something truly special and unique. He will be at Madison Square Garden, where he is a regular performer, on Monday, March 9. Get your tickets from us for only $47.
2/23/15 - As his 2015 tour continues, seasoned rocker Billy Joel made headlines of a different variety last weekend. Joel recently agreed to buy an expansive Manalapan, FL estate to the tune of a modest $22 million. This purchase, which was featured as one of 25 most expensive south Florida listings, is a new addition to the two adjacent properties he already owns. His compound will now cover eight acres and reach from Lake Worth to the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps the Piano Man is building his Floridian retreat to escape to after he completes his 2015 tour in New York later this year. He will play 20 more shows around the country before his tour concludes at Madison Square Garden on November 19. Tickets are available on Razorgator in varying quantities and prices for all remaining shows.
2/16/15 - After months of anticipation, rock icon Billy Joel made his triumphant return to New York City this Wednesday to perform at a sold out Madison Square Garden. The show marked Joel's second appearance in New York this year, having previously played at Madison Square Garden on January 9. The legendary rocker belted out such hits as "Vienna," "Pressure," and "A Matter of Trust." The show wouldn't have been complete, of course, without an emphatic rendition of "The Piano Man," to which the entire sold out audience sang along. After a brief break, Joel will head to Atlanta, GA where he will play at Phillips Arena on February 28. Tickets are still available in limited quantities here on Razorgator, so be sure to get yours before they're gone.
2/9/15 - With just a week to go until The Piano Man heads to a nearly sold-out Madison Square Garden for his highly anticipated return to New York, fans awaiting his performance can discuss a complete list of 121 Billy Joel songs ranked in order from best to worst recently published online. The list puts hit "We Didn't Start the Fire" near the bottom, which Joel admits is not one of his favorites. "Piano Man," one of Joel's most loved and well-known hits, came in at just number 15 on the list, while "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" took first place. Whether you agree or disagree with the results, don't miss your chance to see this legendary performer live on tour. Tickets are still available to the show in New York as well as others right here on Razorgator.
2/5/15 - The Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, just released major news for fans in the Carolinas. Although they will still have to wait a while to catch a glimpse of the musical icon, Joel recently added a show at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte on December 5th later this year. As of now, this is his one and only stop in the Carolinas. It also marks the first time Joel has visited Charlotte since he performed with Elton John to a sold out crowd in 2009. Tickets are expected to sell rapidly for this year's show, too. Don't miss your chance to see the Piano Man live in concert! Tickets of varying prices are still available for most tour dates and locations right here on Razorgator.
1/26/15 - Rock legend Billy Joel dazzled fans at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Thursday night on the kickoff of his 2015 tour. Fans were especially excited, as it was the first time Joel had performed in Dallas in seven years. His voice was as powerful as ever as he opened with recent rock hit "A Matter of Trust" and belted out classic hits like "Pressure," "Vienna," and of course "Piano Man." Joel also proved he hasn't lost his touch on the piano, making his signature power ballads look easy and effortless. The Piano Man will head to Miami, Florida on January 31 for the next stop of his tour. Tickets for that show and others are still available through Razorgator at varying prices.
1/23/15 - Exciting things continue to happen in legendary rocker Billy Joel's tour lineup. Last week it was announced that he would be headlining the popular music festival, Bonnaroo. This week, Billy Joel announced that he would add additional shows in Philadelphia and San Francisco. He will perform at Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia on August 13. Later, he will head to San Francisco's AT&T Park to headline a concert on September 5. West coast fans should be excited for the performance, as this is Joel's first headliner concert in San Francisco in four decades. It will also be the only live appearance for the Piano Man in California this year. Tickets go on sale on January 30 for both recently added shows and are expected to sell out fast.
1/14/15 - The highly anticipated lineup for the 2015 Bonnaroo music festival has been announced, and among the headliners is a Billy Joel! The event will be held June 11-14, 2015 in Tennessee and will include 12 stages and over 125 performing bands. This will be Joel's first time appearing at the festival. The exact date and time of his performance has not yet been announced, but tickets for Bonnaroo will go on sale starting Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015.

With unforgettable hits like "Piano Man", "Big Shot" and "Just The Way You Are," singer/songwriter Billy Joel has been a constant in the hearts of rock n' rollers, penning memorable lyrics and genius melodies that weld his blues bar/jazz lounge roots, classical training and Broadway reverence into tunes that "transcended time." In fact, the gifted pianist's popularity grew so huge that The Stranger became Columbia Record's top-selling album, and Joel tied The Beatles for most multi-platinum albums in the United States.
The "We Didn't Start The Fire" singer is to receive a lifetime achievement Kennedy Center Honor later this year, historically known as the highest honor an artist can be granted in the States. And though the Piano Man has not been on the road since performing in early 2010 with Elton john in a co-headlining tour, Joel has slowly made his return to live music, performing at numerous benefits and touring overseas, before deciding to play a string of shows on the East Coast in 2014.
Surprising fans everywhere, the icon has just announced an unprecedented residency at
Madison Square Garden
, the Bronx-native's long-time home-away-from-home. His exclusive stay will be an indefinite monthly spectacle, effectively becoming MSG's first-ever franchise musician.

The Florida shows are the cheapest of the bunch, starting at about $75, while most expensive minimum price is
Billy Joel New York tickets

Nicole Duke wins cyclocross season openner and Krugoff wins a contract*
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Yesterday in Park City Utah the Cyclocross community got a glimpse into how the first months of racing might shake out and how their training has paid off this year. But the race for some top racers had a twist to it.
With this race acting as more of a training race for the top guns, the story we were all following was the Race For A Contract. Raleigh/ Clement offered up two team sports for the first Male and Female finisher "without contract."
Again, according to CyclingDirt.org our local star, Nicole Duke took the victory on the women's side of the race yet it is unclear if she won or was simply just the highest place no-contract racer... more to come later from cyclingdirt.org.
*On the men's side apparently things aren't so clear, from CyclingDirt.org
On the other hand, the Men's contract winner is not so clear. It seems there are different interpretations of just who qualifies for the available team spot. Allen Krughoff finished 5th and many believe he is the deserving recipient of the "best without contract" prize. However, 3rd place finisher, and former World Championship Silver medalist, Jonathan Page, looks to also be in the running.
Allen Krugoff is from Boulder.

From what i read it said ""If you are an emerging male or female cyclocross racer". I dont think Jonathan Page is an emerging rider at this point in his career.
Points: 7
Agree, should give to Allen
Submitted by Rick James (not verified) on
I agree, Allen is coming up in cyclocross. Plus knowing Allen he has a WAY lower chance of getting into a fight at a cross race than Jonathan does and has. Something a sponsor should strongly consider!
Points: 7
Contract or no contract?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Page HAS a contract with Blue Cycles, so he is technically with a contract as well as with some other sponsors that have been ongoing over the last few years. I believe he would have to CANCEL his sponsorship contract with Blue first, but then he would not be a rider without a contract. We all know who should get the contract....

|Karr's buzzer-beater lifts UI
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - With a defender on her hip, Krissy Karr drove left and put up a six-foot jump shot that made its way through the hoop as time expired to give the Idaho women's basketball team a 57-55 Western Athletic Conference quarterfinal win over San Jose State on Wednesday afternoon.
"That wasn't the play that was called," Karr said of the final possession. "But then I heard Coach Newlee say 'go, go,' so I just went for it and I got the lucky bounce."
The buzzer-beater capped a 15-point comeback for Idaho, as the third-seeded Vandals (15-15) dug themselves into a 26-11 hole 12 minutes into the game.
"We talked after the Seattle U game about buzzer-beaters and how we were on the bad end of it," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said, as his team's last three losses each came by two points. "When we got to Las Vegas, we talked in the locker room about if that situation came up, it would be our turn to hit the shot. Our players embraced that and Krissy certainly did in the end."
The game was tied at 55-all for nearly three minutes, with neither team able pull ahead. With one minute left, Idaho had the ball with a chance to go ahead but Stacey Barr was called for a charge, giving the Spartans the ball with 44 seconds. SJSU's (11-19) Riana Byrd was fouled with 15 seconds to play, but missed both free throws, and Idaho's Ali Forde grabbed the rebound, and the Vandals took timeout to draw up a final play.
Karr finished with 10 points off the bench for Idaho in the game. The buzzer beater was the second of the sophomore's career - she hit a 3-pointer as time expired in an 87-86 overtime win at Nevada on Feb. 9, 2012.
Sophomore Stacey Barr led Idaho with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting. She added six rebounds. Freshman Ali Forde came close to a double-double, finishing with nine points and nine rebounds. She was 4-of-6 from the field and added three blocks and two steals.
"I was definitely nervous in the first half," Forde said. "After the timeout coach told me to play free, and I was able to relax and play my game."
The Vandals couldn't buy a bucket early. After Idaho's brief 5-4 lead with 17:40 left in the first, Idaho hit just one field goal in the next seven minutes as the Spartans built a double-digit lead.
Idaho settled in toward the end of the first half, chipping away at SJSU's lead until it was just a five-point, 33-28, deficit at the break. Idaho kept the game within two possessions the entire second half, but didn't regain the lead until Alyssa Charlston hit a fast-break layup with 4:16 to play that put the Vandals ahead 53-52. That lead lasted only 26 seconds, however, as Byrd made a layup on the other end to put San Jose State back on top 54-53 before the near three-minute 55-55 deadlock.
Idaho shot 42 percent from the field, going 24-of-57. The Vandals hit just 5-of-21 3-point attempts, but nearly matched San Jose State's 32 paint points by scoring 26 of their own.
Idaho advances to the WAC semifinals for the second consecutive season. The Vandals will face the winner of No. 2 Utah State and No. 7 Denver at noon on Friday.

As rhythm & blues innovators with an exquisite vocal blend, the Moonglows were among the finest black harmony groups of the Fifties. They served to bridge the smoother approach of groups like the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers with the earthier sounds of rock and roll. The Moonglows, at least part of whose career found them in league with deejay Alan Freed, heralded the revolution that was to come on the strength of such doo-wop singles as "Sincerely" and "See Saw," which were all sizable hits on both the pop and R&B charts in the mid-Fifties.
The Moonglows came together in Cleveland in the early Fifties from an alliance between Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester, who'd previously sung together in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. They called their jazzy vocal group the Crazy Sounds, but Alan Freed renamed them the Moonglows. They recorded one single for Freed's Champagne label and five for Chicago-based Chance Records before Phil Chess brought them over to his Chess label, where they remained from 1954 to 1961. The Moonglows' productive stay on Chess ranged from the vocally innovative "Sincerely," their biggest hit (#1 R&B, #20 pop), to the Platters-influenced "Ten Commandments of Love" (#9 R&B, #22 pop). When the group reshuffled its lineup in 1959, a young Marvin Gaye became one of the new members. Subsequently, Gaye became a star at Motown while Moonglows founder Harvey Fuqua, who'd already been writing songs with Motown founder Berry Gordy, served as an in-house producer and songwriter.

What does a bag of Skittles have in common with a bag of Doritos? You won't find either in Park City local Mary Palmer's vending machines. Palmer started a franchise business, Healthy Vending, which offers strictly healthy snack and drink options.
"We're trying to make healthy food more convenient than junk food," Palmer said. "Our slogan is 'Easy Nutrition Everywhere.'"
Every item in the vending machine is screened by health experts, including doctors and dieticians. Whether its Clif Bars or Popchips, Fiji Apple Fruit Crisps or Today's Farm Peaches, Vita Coco or Izze, the products offer a healthy alternative to the typical vending machine fare. And the healthy options are often offered at the same price point as chips or soda, with most items costing between 75 cents and a $1.50.
"I'm starting in Park City because this is my community," Palmer said. " I am passionate about getting these machines in Park City first and expand throughout Northern Utah from there."
Palmer remembers her own moment of frustration, pregnant and standing in front of a hospital vending machine in the middle of the night. She was in Phoenix helping her father after an emergency cranial operation.
"In the day, I could find something healthy in the cafeteria," Palmer said. "I could scrounge up a hard-boiled egg or an apple. But at night when I got hungry, when I was trying to take care of my father and myself and the baby, there was one option: vending machines. And there was nothing healthy in there.
This year, Palmer was reading a Forbes article when she discovered the company, Healthy Vending, which was named the 37th Most Promising Company. It was her 'aha' moment, she said. After attending a training camp early September to start her own franchise, Palmer said she started keeping her home constantly stocked with potential product, testing what would work with her children.
"You put an apple in your child's lunchbox and it just comes back bruised and untouched," she said. "You end up with a healthy garbage can. But if you present a bar, there is one called "That's it," and all it has is one apple and 12 cherries. That's it. And it tastes great and you know your child will get their fruit requirements for the day."
Palmer said she's interested in testing product more, and has even become known as the Snack Lady on her block. From offering local product to tailoring what is offered based on location, Healthy Vending has more than 5,000 approved snacks.
The machines accept credit and debit cards and provide nutrition tips and information using an LCD screen that streams video. It even slashes energy costs, making the machines an estimated 50 percent more efficient than a standard machine.
"I have not been able to find anything else like this in the state," Palmer said, "and I have looked. I'm the only one I know of."
"Now I'm in the process of selecting where the machines are going to go," she added. " we're looking for places that get a lot of foot traffic. I'm in the contract phase with several locations right now."
Palmer said she plans to start with 10 machines and hopes to have them in locations around Park City this December.

Whether by car, bicycle, hiking boots, skis, snowshoes or canoe, in Banff National Park you can enjoy year-round discovery of the 6,641 km2 mountainous landscape. As the first national park established in Canada and a coveted UNESCO World Heritage Site, what makes Banff National Park so special is its combination of vast unspoiled wilderness, mountain lakes like Lake Louise, and the gateway to it all: the Town of Banff.
Whether you're on a camper's budget or living it up in luxury, Banff offers a choice of accommodation, restaurants, boutique shops and activities to make your trip a memorable one. The history of this mountain town is also well preserved at a number of museums and heritage sites, while new memories are created throughout the year at world-class festivals and events.

Me, too! I just watched Season 1 again and am counting the days until Season 2 begins in January. I went onto the British home page for the series and got some inkling of what's coming up. Looks like some interesting plot lines will develop.
So many books; so little time!

Well, I've just finished watching the second series on DVD and was a little disappointed, mostly due to the writing. What I loved about the first series was how tight and sharp the writing was, but the second series felt unfocused and a bit of a rush job, to be honest. Too many storylines, too many of which went around in circles, and the pacing was all over the place.
However, the bar was set extremely high in the first series. The second is still superb (if increasingly soapy) entertainment and the acting, sets, costumes etc are just as impeccable. Due to the time period, the themes are a lot darker and there were moments of extreme pathos, often unexpected. One of the moments that got me reaching for my hankerchief involved Thomas of all characters!
As an aside, I have to say that I barely tolerated Matthew and Mary in first series, and the second pushed me into outright irritation. Goodness sake, they deserve each other...
Haven't yet seen the Xmas special so hoping that that redeems the series somewhat.

I've never been a big fan of Mary's, but I give credit to the actress that portrays her b/c I really feel like her character is supposed to be that way.

After watching the first season, on the pbs repeats, I can't wait for season 2 (tomorrow night!). Are we really supposed to be rooting for Matthew and Mary? I thought he had more chemistry with her sister Sybil when he saved her at the rally. Mary is hard for me to warm up to. When she wavered on marrying him when she thought her mom was having a baby and the issue of the entailment, that really irked me. Didn't she admit she loves him? What's the problem then? I'm finding I really like Bates (Brendan Coyle from North and South!) and Ann's almost romance downstairs. I like Lord Grantham in general- what he did for the going blind cook-for instance and of course the lady dowager countess (did I get that mangled? hehe) who has great lines.
The reviews seem like this season won't be as good as 1 but still entertaining.

I enjoyed both seasons of Downton although I have to laugh sometimes at how anachronistic a lot of the family's actions are.
(Would a daughter of an Earl really run across a fancy lawn party to hug and jump around with the chauffeur and the second maid? In front of everyone? I very much doubt it. )
I think it's interesting that Julian Fellowes also wrote Gosford Park as the aristocrats in that are shown to be generally awful and the family in Downton is usually shown as familiar and generous to their staff. Maggie Smith is curmudgeonly but very likable in Downton but plays the evil version of pretty much the same role in Gosford Park.
Though I was happy to see the "main" couple together by the end of the Christmas special I confess to not entirely warming up to her and wanting to shake her more than once.

I am so glad to hear the comments about Mary and Mathew. I thought I was alone in not quite liking Mary. She can be so selfish.
RE season two - I felt that every time the authors were heading somehwere interesting they pulled back and splashed fairy dust on it.
Where they pulled back and maybe shouldn't have:
- Thomas's near affair with blind man at beginning of Season 2 Would have been nice to see him show a little humanity and genuine emotion.
- The Lavinia/Carlisle/Mathew/Mary mess. It would have been nice if it wasn't so convenient. Poor Lavinia dies and then Carlisle professes how much he loved Mary. I wonder if he will even publish or if his love will keep him from destroying her.
- The Mathew can't walk oh wait, no he can fiasco.
- I didn't like the storyline with the Earl and the maid named Jane. It wasn't going anywhere, why throw it in?
- Sybils marriage being done off screen. I hope she does get to return and we see how she is doing.
- I was disappointed in Edith and Sir Anthony's conversation. She should have laughed and told him she'd worked very well thank you with patients who reqauired real nursing. She could deal with his little problem without any trouble. (Though spoilers for next season show things may work out for her in terms of marriage to someone.)
I'm looking forward to Season 3 but I hope they don't just take the family to the brink of tragedy and then surprise! everything works out. I hope they let at least one of the main characters really get hit by tragedy.

Post subject: Downton Abbey Season 2
I am nearly through the second season (watching it on DVDs). I am at the point in the series when Mrs. Bates is killed. Okay, so I rolled my eyes at my husband, and he says "let's just guess what the cliff-hanger is going to be. ..." Well, I doubt we need to do much guessing.
I don't know; I still like it and will finish it out, but it just seems to me that the show has the feel of being written "on the fly," now. Someone else mentioned that she or he felt this season was a bit disappointing because it doesn't seem as tightly written, and I agree. Plus, the characters behave in inconsistent ways (certainly Thomas and O'Brien are inconsistent). Now I know that people do behave in inconsistent ways, but it just seems to me that much of the time the reasons that the characters have to behave differently is to suit the plot changes--not because it's believable that the characters would feel that way (that Thomas, suddenly, has to stand up for William's return home because of class solidarity--Thomas is for his own solidarity; he doesn't give a fig about class warfare or William). I did believe his compassion for the blind soldier, but not his compassion for William.
O'Brien's sympathy with Lord Grantham's shell-shocked valet made sense to me, and I could believe that one, but with too many changes (or revelations) of this kind, I just feel sort of strung along. (Did anyone believe for a minute that Matthew would be crippled for life--uh, no.)
I am enjoying Maggie Smith in this and will be sorry to see her go. She's been my favorite character in the show.

I've enjoyed her, too. Maggie Smith is a gem in just about everything, she's quite the actress.
I really enjoy DA and think it's one of the best shows on TV so I pretty much gave it a wide berth with some of the more questionable storylines. The one arc, though, that I had a hard time with was the Sybil/Driver romance. For some reason, I just wasn't buying it, they had no chemistry to me. Which turned out to be ironic b/c I think they're involved in real life, or they were.
I thought the Sybil character had such potential, then to marry her off to the driver. That's how she acted out her views on women's rights? By marrying the driver? Yeah, yeah, I know, she was supposed to be following her own wishes instead of society's, but like I said, I thought they could've gone in a different direction.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Seeds & Propagation
Transplanting Vine Crops (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Once it's warm and your seedlings are hardened off, you can transplant them into a sunny garden spot.
First, soak the plants thoroughly. Moist dirt sticks to the tender roots, protecting them from rough treatment. Always transplant seedlings into slightly deeper holes than their original containers.
When everything is ready, take one seedling, tilt the pot and tap the bottom to loosen the root ball. The whole plant will slip out into your hand. If you use Jiffy 7's or peat pots, carefully tear the outer skin of the pot away from the roots, being careful not to harm them. If some of the pot sticks, leave it. You just need to remove enough so the roots aren't bound tightly on all sides.
Have some 2-inch newspaper squares on hand to wrap around the stems to prevent cutworm damage. Wrap a paper collar around the stem, so that it's one inch above and one inch below the soil surface, where it keeps cutworms from chewing on the tender stem. Set the plant into the ground at the same level it was in the pot, then firm the seedling into the soil to give the roots good contact with the soil.
Work quickly. Don't leave the seedling roots exposed to the air and light for more than a few seconds. Water each plant thoroughly before going on to the next. Once the plants are in the ground, care for them just as you would plants started outdoors.

ZF-2810: Non-public methods in Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Abstract trigger PHP warnings
When using view helpers that extend {{Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Standalone}} (HeadMeta, HeadTitle, etc), calling methods that will proxy to the container class will fail when those methods are not public. Currently, there is only one non-public method in {{Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Abstract}}, which is {{_getWhiteSpace()}}. This is used when specifying indentation in the {{toString()}} method, and will trigger a PHP warning on line 207 in {{Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Standalone}}.
Either, the {{_getWhiteSpace()}} method should be made public and the references to it should be updated, or there should be a check in the proxy to discard calls to non-public methods.
Scheduling for RC2... if possible.

Men's Swimming And Diving Handled At Northwestern, While Women Drop Decision To Illinois State
Jan. 18, 2003
Evanston, Ill. - Both UIC swimming and diving teams had their hands full on Friday night on the road, as the men's team was foiled at Northwestern, 194-96, while the women's squad was overmatched at Illinois State, 192-88.
In Evanston, newcomer LeRoy Stevens continued his fine rookie campaign.
Stevens won the 50-yard freestyle in 21.81 and was a member of two winning UIC relay teams.
The Flames grabbed first in the 400-yard medley relay in 3:35.71 with the team of Stevens, Adan Jimenez, Ari Bernstein and Chris Kaczor. It was more of the same in 400-yard free relay, as Stevens, Jimenez and Bernstein teamed with Bill Hare to take first in a time of 3:12.6.
Both teams visit Horizon League rival UW-Green Bay on Saturday to face off with the Phoenix at 2:00 p.m.

MTB Thursday - Locals ride Kilimanjaro with Doug Pitt for Clean Water
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
When Jeff Wu trained to be an ER doc, he didn't expect his profession to blend so conveniently with his passion. He figured mountain biking, his passion, would be put on the backburner, a past time to be visited when his rigorous work schedule allowed. As luck would have it, down time during late nights in the ER lent well to new hobbies taken up to soften the edge. Jeff learned graphic design in those wee hours, and soon applied the skill to cycling t-shirt and jersey design, which snowballed into the beginnings of the fresh cycling apparel company, Alchemist. It also turned out that demanding hours in the hospital were the ideal physical and mental training for endurance racing. Dealing with bloody hell daily is incentive to go get on two wheels and ride your heart out, he soon discovered. Living in the "start up capital" and "outdoor mecca" of Boulder hasn't hurt the situation either.
Jeff's perfect storm of profession and passion comes to a head this February 22nd with a once in a lifetime service/adventure expedition up Mount Kilimanjaro. Jeff accepted the invitation of his fellow mountain bike enthusiast and do-gooder, Doug Pitt (a.k.a. "The Other Pitt"), to provide his medical services on a WorldServe trek organized by Pitt. This will be the first expedition to climb up, and mountain bike down the famous 19'er.
Pitt, too, has found a way to seamlessly blend his passion with his career. Adventure meets philanthropy with his thoughtfully constructed trip to Africa's apex:
Goodwill Ambassador to Tanzania Doug Pitt has secured the first-ever permit to mountain bike down the tallest peak on the African continent—Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,340 ft. This epic trip is a fundraiser that will bring clean water to over 150,000 Tanzanians, where 2 out of 5 kids do not reach the age of five due to waterborne illnesses. Ambassador Pitt and Trek Travel will also orchestrate one of the largest environmental cleanup efforts of Mount Kilimanjaro in recent history on the climb up. http://www.trektravel.com/worldserve-kilimanjaro-bike-tour.php
A large portion of each participant's trip fee is donated to a solar pump project which includes a community or school sanitation project and a 10,000 liter storage tank. 2,400 Maasai are ensured a generation of clean water for each trekker's fee as well. Read more about the trip on the Trek Travel site. Don't have the extra cash to bike Kili but want to help out with new well installment? Donate to the WorldServe clean water effort that the trip benefits here.
What does all of this mean to Alchemist's founder, Jeff Wu? He is just psyched to hang with some of the pro ball players signed up to brave the climb, and nosh on his favorite trail food, peanut butter filled Do-Si-Dos. He disassembled and packed his trusty steed, a '96 single speed Bontrager that has delivered him across the finish of countless endurance races around Colorado, including Leadville, 24 hour Nationals, and the Breck Epic. When asked what gear one picks to ride up Kilimanjaro (which he will certainly insist on doing, as well as down) he replies, "the easiest thing I got. 34/22." He also packed a slew of USA made, recycled Alchemist jerseys custom made for the trailblazers. Oh yeah: he's looking forward to picking up trash and handing out band-aids too.
