Friday's college roundup: Stetson beats Princeton 7-6 in 12 innings
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:55 p.m.

Baseball: Stetson beats Princeton in 12 innings
The Stetson Hatters were forced to empty the tool shed on Friday night in an effort to win the first game of a four-game weekend series against visiting Princeton at Melching Field.
A total of 20 Hatters saw action in the game by the time freshman Carlos Garmendia singled through a drawn in Princeton infield in the 12th inning to give Stetson a 7-6 victory. It is the Hatters' second 12-inning victory in the last week, following a 3-2 win over Ohio State last Saturday.
"It is ironic that we won that game by getting runners on base because of them not throwing strikes, the same way that we got into trouble by not throwing strikes," Hatters head coach Pete Dunn said. "You just hope things like that even out, and tonight it did.
"Carlos did a good job to end the game. He took a terrible swing at a ball in the dirt and I knew that is all he was going to see. He was able to put the bat head on the ball and pull it through the drawn in infield."
ERAU wins 2: Seventh-ranked Embry-Riddle (18-3) won 8-3 and 2-1 against sixth-ranked Point Park (7-7).
In Game 1, Kevin Maloney (4-0) improved to 23-0 at ERAU. He gave up three runs (one earned) on six hits, struck out one, walked one and hit two batters in 5Ð innings. Adam Cellini (2 for 4, three RBIs) and Kevin Lindheim (2 for 3, two RBIs, one run) led the Eagles.
A single by Dillon Ennis (1 for 3, RBI) in the ninth inning was the Game 2 winner. Stetson Nelson gave up one run, struck out five and walked one in 6Ð innings. Eric Green (2-0) struck out three in two innings. Lindheim was 2-for-3 with a walk.
Daytona St. falls 5-2: Taylor Byle had two hits and Jimmy Faul and Sam Bates had RBIs but host Daytona State (8-10-1) lost to Lake-Sumter State (15-8).
Tennis: Stetson men win 4-3
LOS ANGELES — Stetson (6-0) won 4-3 over Loyola Marymount (0-9) on Thursday. Stetson's Cahit Kapukiran and Chester Espie clinched the match in doubles. Kapukiran, Espie and Simon Julin won in singles, while Didrik Berg/Julin also won in doubles.
STETSON WOMEN LOSE: Stetson (3-4) lost 4-3 at Cal State Fullerton (7-6). Diana Bukajeva and Jen Miller won in singles and Lindsey Cable/Eveline Lepinay and Bukajeva/Miller won in doubles for the Hatters.
Women's lacrosse: Hatters fall 17-7
Softball: Hats win 2
DELAND — Meredith Owen tossed a four-hit shutout and Demi Meza hit a two-run double as Stetson won 3-0 over Fairleigh Dickinson (2-3) in the first day of the Stetson Classic.
Jessica Griffin hit a three-run home run and Courtney Brandt picked up the win in a 10-2 defeat of Colgate (0-2)
The Hatters (10-6) have won nine times in their last 10 games.

Now, I don't know if these reports are an accurate reflection or not of the US or the rest of the world. Perhaps there is some uncertainty with the new health plans which are making some doctors feel unsettled.
But in a general sense do you think dissatisfaction in medicine as a career is increasing? I'm not sure how you would quantify it though....

Head, Golf Club, Apollo 14, Replica
This is a replica of the makeshift golf club that NASA astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. used to hit two golf balls on the Moon during Apollo 14 in February 1971. Shepard carried the modified Wilson six-iron in his spacesuit pocket, afixing the club head to the handle of a contingency sample return device. After the flight, Shepard gave the original club head to the US Golf Association Hall of Fame in New Jersey and this replica to the National Collection in 1975.

135:08:17 Shepard: (Facing the TV) Houston, while you're looking that up, you might recognize what I have in my hand as the handle for the contingency sample return; it just so happens to have a genuine six iron on the bottom of it. In my left hand, I have a little white pellet that's familiar to millions of Americans. I'll drop it down. Unfortunately, the suit is so stiff, I can't do this with two hands, but I'm going to try a little sand-trap shot here. (Pause)
[Jones - "He topped and buried it on the first swing. I assume that the six-iron was snuck on board."]
[Mitchell - "In his suit pocket."]
[The suits each had a utility pocket on the left thigh. During the EVA, Al and Ed wore a larger, strap-on pocket on the left thigh,
135:08:53 Mitchell: You got more dirt than ball that time.
135:08:58 Shepard: Got more dirt than ball. Here we go again.
[Al's second swing pushes the ball about 2 or 3 feet, mostly along the line toward the TV camera, rather than along the line of the swing.]
135:09:01 Haise: That looked like a slice to me, Al.
135:09:03 Shepard: Here we go. Straight as a die; one more. (Long Pause)
[Al's third swing finally connects and sends the ball off-camera to the right, apparently on a fairly low trajectory. He drops a second ball, which rolls left and toward the TV camera. Al gets himself in position and connects again. The trajectory of this shot appears to be similar to the previous one.]
135:09:20 Shepard: Miles and miles and miles.
135:09:26 Haise: Very good, Al.
[With regard to Al's "miles and miles and miles", see the discussion following 135:21:50.]
[Readers should note that, while the golf-shot picture in Al's book Moonshot bears some resemblance to the TV images, it is actually a composite made up of pieces of various Hasselblad images. The only actual record of the golf shot is the TV coverage. Al and Ed had already put their Hasselblads into the ETB at about 135:06:06.]
[Not long after I bought a copy of Moonshot, Andrew Chaikin and I had a long telephone conversation about the composite and worked out - at least in general terms - how it was put together. Journal Contributor David Harland tells us that the 1994 hardback UK edition published by Virgin Books contains the composite, while Brian Lawrence tells us that the 1995 edition does not.]
[In the composite, the LM and LM shadow come from a left/right reversal of AS14-66 9276. Note the LRRR which is sitting in the footpad of the ladder strut. In reality, the LR-Cubed was deployed at the ALSEP site during the first EVA. Both of the astronaut images in the composite come from a pan Al took at the beginning of EVA-1 shortly before 114:53:34. The image of "Al" is actually a left/right reversal of Ed's image from AS14-66- 9240. In the real photograph, Ed is doing a TV pan. In the composite, the TV camera has been removed and the golf club has been added. The image of "Ed" in the composite is taken from another frame in Al's earlier pan, AS14-66- 9241. And, once again, the TV had been removed from a left-right reversal of the original images. Similarly, the image of the U.S. flag has been taken from AS14-66- 9232- or one of the other tourist pictures Al and Ed took during the flag deployment. I have not yet identified the precise images from which the MET and the S-Band were taken; but, the MET image is very similar to the one in AS14-67- 9361, which Al took at the ALSEP site at the end of the ALSEP deployment. Finally, the ball and the shadows of the S-Band legs - like the golf club - appear to have been drawn in.]
135:09:27 Haise: And (to) answer Ed's question earlier there; Kilo-Kilo was used for the window shots, Ed; so, you ought to bring it back.
RealVideo Clip (3 min 36 sec)
135:09:43 Shepard: Yeah, that's right. We got some of that to start with, didn't we?
135:09:46 Mitchell: Yeah.
135:09:49 Shepard: (Garbled). (Long Pause)
[Al removes the club head. He brought it home and it is currently on display at the US Golf Association Hall of Fame in New Jersey.]

Rockbox Theme: Googley (Fuze+ and iPod Classic)
Updated: August 22, 2013
Here's a Rockbox theme I made for the Fuze+ and the iPod Classic: Googley.
Recommended Rockbox revision: 193911a or later (please read this post)
It's a theme based on Google artwork and colors (six of them!). The While Playing Screen features essential metadata, fairly large album art, progress bar and playback indicators. SBS (menu screen) features current playing song, with miniature album art. FM Radio screen included. Top status bar displays volume (emphasized when > 0dB), HDD / flash storage activity (emphasized when active), and battery charge (emphasized when < 10%).
How to install: unpack the zip archive at the root of your Fuze+ or iPod Classic (tell your unpacking software to overwrite existing files). Then, load the theme, turn off your DAP and turn it back on. You only have to reboot once; after that, you can load any of the other five themes without rebooting.
Here's an overview of all six colors for the Fuze+ and the iPod Classic. Enjoy!

Looks nice!
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
Sansa Clip Zip 4GB + 128GB; iPhone 5 64GB; Phonak Audéo PFE 232
Very nice. The screen shots don't do it justice imo. The drop shadow for the AA is a killer effect to my eyes. Congrats on a job well done.
I also like that it's possible to increase the font and not lose information details in the WPS. I'm using Adobe Helvetica-21 and there's no overlap in any of the information lines. Nice to see a theme that allows the end user that type of adaptability by taking advantage of the available real estate on a decently large screen. My middle age eyes told me to pass along their thanks.
I've mostly been been using lebellium's Samsung like on my Fuze+. I've been having a ton of fun mixing and matching the WPS and other screens from his and your theme and I've come up with a couple of combos that are both very good looking and useful.
It's not that either of them really lacks anything. I just like messing around and seeing if I can come up with something that works a bit better for me than the original. Having two knockout themes like leb's and yours makes it fun and easy to play around and see what I can come up with.
Thanks for sharing. If the inspiration hits you do create something new I'll be sure to check it out.

It looks nice indeed
If my theme did not exist, I would use this one and replace the "next song" line by File codec and bitrate
@skip252: I would be curious to see how your modified theme looks like!
I'm French^^ *GenerationMP3 Samsung Moderator*
I don't think there's anything I can do about it on the Fuze+. On the iPod Classic theme, I could put the track number on the song title line, and thus free up one line to put the codec information on.
Suggestions are welcome. Updating 6 or 12 themes is going to be a royal pain in the ass, so I'll wait until I'm sure that there are enough significant changes to warrant a new release. Initially, I wanted to incorporate all 6 variants in the same zip file, but the Rockbox theme uploader form wouldn't let me.
Edit: I updated all the themes, with various alignment fixes, date and time fixes, HDD / flash storage emphasis, and metadata colors. The zips are available here: http://outpost.fr/rockbox/
I'll be a waiting a bit before uploading the updated themes on the Rockbox website, to see if I get any more suggestions.

Sigh, Rockbox fonts suck. I've decided to revert to 14-Nimbus, as I feel that it's pretty much the only decent looking font.
On another note, a couple people have remarked that the colors of the icon set clash with the themes. I'd like more input on this. Which one do you prefer?
Colored icons?
Or grayscale icons?
Or this? (gray version of asianclip)
I'd say go with what you prefer. Making minor changes to icons and fonts is something someone that's really concerned can easily do. You've done the heavy lifting. If someone is interested in shifting some of the lightweight stuff around learning how to isn't very difficult and the mental exercise might inspire them to create something of their own.
I'd think in term of not being able to please everyone and making whatever changes are most pleasing to your eyes. What you have now shows a good eye for proportion and color. Putting that up for a vote isn't likely to improve on that imo. Design by committee usually winds up being blah at best.
There haven't been many themes that caused me to take a single look and say "Oh hell yeah, I'm going to be using that a LOT!". Having said that I'm still going to tweak it so it works better for my uses.
TBH, I prefer leb's WPS a bit more
When I combine that with your Storm color main menu in a larger font
The results gives me something I can see easily and provides all the essential info I need. As an old fart that uses a really large font the bottom info line needing to scroll is a small compromise I'm willing to make for better usability on the go and in sunlight.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I've worked on the themes a lot, I've made many cosmetic, but also functional, changes. I've also fixed a lot of bugs.
The main new feature is that the themes handle 3 different fonts, specifically: 14-Nimbus, 19-Nimbus, and 21-Adobe-Helvetica. If you use any of those fonts, everything will be properly aligned and sized. I chose 19-Nimbus because it's a large version of Nimbus (which I really feel is the best font), and 21-Adobe-Helvetica because it's the next "normal" large font. skip252 will be pleased!
Another feature is that when you pause the music, the album title line will be replaced by the release date (only on the Fuze+), and the "next song" line will be replaced with the codec name and bitrate. So if you really need that information, just pause the music, and press play again once you're done.
Yet another (minor) feature is that the battery indicator will be prepended with the "+" sign whenever the DAP is charging.
The rest is basically a lot of work fixing alignments and really weird Rockbox bugs. I think the themes are about as complete as they can be (relative to what I personally expect from them). I'm still open to suggestions though. I also kinda want to come up with new ideas for another theme
As for the icon sets, you can use differents ones from http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IconSets
I have personally uploaded a grayscale version of Tango_Small, and my modification of Asianclip, which the themes now use by default.
You can get the updated themes here: http://outpost.fr/rockbox/
I'll upload them on the Rockbox website later.
Last edited by skamp; 08-16-2013 at 01:40 PM. Reason: clarification about the release date line on the Fuze+ and Classic screenshot
Alright, I've made further changes. I've increased the size of the album art, and reduced the number of metadata lines, on both targets, in a fashion that I feel is a lot more balanced. I've updated the screenshots in the OP.
The Fuze+ theme now displays track number and title, artist name, and album title. By default, if the album title is short enough, the release date is displayed next to the album title. If the title is too long, only the album title is displayed. When you press pause, the last line will show the release date, as well as the codec name and bitrate.
That behavior can be changed without editing the theme files: by default, the themes set the "status bar" preference (in the theme settings menu) to "false". That has no incidence on the actual status bar however, as it is always disabled in the SBS/WPS/FMS anyway. But I use it as a simple way of changing the behavior of the WPS: if you manually change that setting to either "Top" or "Bottom", the release date will always be displayed next to the album title. Only the codec name and bitrate will be shown when pressing pause.
The iPod Classic themes alway display the release date and the codec name and bitrate on the last line.
On both the Fuze+ and the iPod Classic targets, pressing pause will also replace the artist line with the value of "album artist", if it is present (artist otherwise).
I've figured out a way to detect the font size and deal with that, instead of dealing with certain fonts specifically. Now, there are two sets of alignments and placements: one for font size <= 14, and another for sizes >= 15.
All the themes are meant to be used with either 14-Nimbus or 19-Nimbus, available in the Rockbox font pack, available here. Other fonts will work as well.
I know that some people prefer having tons of information displayed on screen, but I don't share that preference. Famous French aviator and writer/artist Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was quoted as saying, Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. That's exactly how I feel. The result is visually pleasing to me, and I have pretty much all the information I need.
Again, the updated themes are available on http://outpost.fr/rockbox/. I'll update them on the Rockbox website later.
I've updated all themes on the Rockbox web site (Classic, Fuze+).
Instead of using the pause button to display alternative metadata, I now use the hold switch (power button on the Fuze+), since that doesn't alter playback, contrary to the pause button (obviously).
I've also changed the default artwork.
Well, I've been kind of silly. Here's an additional variant for both targets, "Clippy":
It's surprisingly readable though (high contrast). Maybe people with eyesight issues will have a use for them.
Well, I like the Grayfog and Clippy themes on the Fuze+ (I gave them top ratings), and I am installing the Clippy theme on my 5.5G iPod Video as well.
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
Contrary to most themes, I think the Clippy variants look better on the actual devices than in the screenshots. That's what I'm using now. Looks wicked on my Fuze+ and my iPod Classic.
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
I've updated all the themes with fixes for two small pixel errors in the top bar and the progress bar.
After the battery runs dead, I'll plug it into the wall unit to charge long enough to select a different theme, and then I'll install the latest revision and see how that works.
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB

Nuke Workers Protest Conflicts on Comp Committee
The government panel that reviews health compensation claims by nuclear weapons workers has several members with financial ties to either the Department of Energy or private contractors that
managed the facilities, a workers' advocacy group charged last
week. In a letter sent to the Health and Human Services
inspector general Daniel R. Levinson, the Alliance of Nuclear
Worker Advocacy Groups (ANWAG) claimed at least three members of
the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH)'s Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health had
conflicts of interest that should have disqualified them from
participating on the committee, which reviews claims by workers
exposed to allegedly harmful levels of radiation.
"The legislation requires that the Board reflect a balance of
scientific, medical and worker perspectives, not the employers
(DOE) perspective,"
wrote Harry Williams, president of the Oak Ridge, TN-based Coalition for a Healthy Environment and a spokesman for ANWAG. "The Board was intended to function independently, which it demonstrably has not." Congress established the board in 2000 to review the compensation claims of nuclear weapons workers. The
board reviews the scientific validity of individual "dose
reconstruction" studies conducted by NIOSH.
Among the review committee members that ANWAG opposes is James
Lockey, a professor of environmental health at the University of
Cincinnati College of Medicine. He served as a paid DOE expert
witness in a lawsuit brought by residents of Fernald, Ohio,
where the government once ran a uranium production facility. The
plant's closure and cleanup cost the government $4.4 billion.
ANWAG also cited a newspaper account that claimed the son of board chairman John Poston, a professor of nuclear engineering at Texas A&M, was employed by a NIOSH contractor that conducts dose reconstruction studies for NIOSH. The group also protested the inclusion of Wanda Munn, a retired nuclear engineer for Westinghouse, which runs the DOE's Hanford facility in Richland, WA. According to the letter, Munn also worked with Oak Ridge Associated Universities, which contracts with NIOSH and DOE to conduct dose assessments.
NIOSH, which commissioned the radiation and worker health review
board, defended the use of conflicted advisers. "I can get you a
non-conflicted board, but then what good would their opinion
be?" senior scientist Lewis Wade told the Center for Science in
the Public Interest. The board needs to employ scientists and
physicians with ties to industry because of their expertise, he
claimed. The NIOSH website reveals that all but one member of the 11-member committee received conflict-of-interest waivers in 2006-2007. ANWAG's Williams said NIOSH could find advisers without conflicts of interest if it looked for them.
House Committee Urges TSCA Reform
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is considering changes in the Toxic Substances Control Act that will beef up the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate toxic chemicals. The current law requires the EPA prove a chemical is a potential risk before ordering manufacturers to conduct new tests. Environmentalists say that shifts the burden of proof from industry to the agency, which is inadequately staffed to conduct those scientific investigations. Since 1976, the agency has required manufacturers test just 200 out of more than 80,000 chemicals in commercial use. It has placed restrictions on only five.
At last week's hearing, the Government Accountability Office,
which has the EPA chemical risk assessment program on its
troubled program watch list, called for the U.S. to adopt a system similar to the European Union's Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH). Europe has placed the burden on manufacturers to prove that chemicals used in commerce are safe.
Device Maker, Pharma Offer Lax Disclosure Policies
The medical device firm Medtronic will begin disclosing payments
to physicians on Jan. 1, 2010, but only if the payments are
larger than $5,000, according to a company
press release. Recent voluntary disclosure policies announced by
Pfizer and Eli Lilly said those firms will report payments to doctors that are greater than $500. Other drug-makers, such as Merck, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, have also hinted they will soon announce voluntary disclosure policies. The Physician Payment Sunshine Act, introduced by Sen.
Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and pending in
the Senate Finance committee, would require disclosure of
payments over $100 beginning in 2011.
Inspector General Investigating Emory, Nemeroff
The Health and Human Services inspector general last week
launched an investigation into allegations that Emory University
failed to inform the National Institutes of Health about all of
the conflicts of interest of psychiatry professor Charles
Nemeroff. The Atlanta-based university may also have
misrepresented the kind of work that Nemeroff did for
GlaxoSmithKline, the Wall Street Journal reported. The probe's announcement came shortly after Sen.
Charles Grassley (R-IA) wrote a letter to the inspector general revealing new information about
Nemeroff's relations with Glaxo. Nemeroff recently stepped down
from chairing the psychiatry department. The university
announced Nemeroff won't apply for more NIH grants for at least
two years.
Odds and Ends
Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey (D-NY) has asked the Food and Drug Administration's Janet Woodcock to explain why the agency excluded Los Angeles cardiologist Sanjay Kaul of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute from the Feb. 3 advisory committee that reviewed Eli Lilly's prasugrel for acute coronary syndrome.
Kaul, who had previously authored articles criticizing the drug,
was removed for having an "intellectual bias." Last week, the
FDA admitted it made a mistake in excluding Kaul from the
meeting, which unanimously approved the drug. ... A Government
Accountability Office report on the Department of
Labor's Whistleblower Protection Program said the program is
plagued by inefficiencies and inaccurate recordkeeping, leading
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to overstate the number of whistleblower cases that are decided in favor of the whistleblower. ... The chair of the Environmental Protection Agency's Scientific Advisory Board, Deborah L. Swackhamer of the University of Minnesota, applauded incoming EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's "deep commitment to scientific integrity" and urged the agency to "establish its environmental priorities for the next five to ten years and to provide the necessary science and research to support and implement cross-media approaches to protecting human health and the environment." ... Documents unsealed last week in a Florida court case reveal drugmaker AstraZeneca told its sales representatives to tell doctors that its psychiatric drug Seroquel didn't cause diabetes despite warnings by a company physician that some individuals would develop the condition, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Cheers and Jeers

So many rising stars sell out shows, sing along to a DAT, bask in their blogosphere buzz and call it a day. But congregates, believe wholly and fully in the hype of
Lykke Li. Rapturous Lykke Li followers enveloped Webster Hall and homegirl brought it. Her album Youth Novels is all feathery textures, pillowy vocals and naked emotion. And while she opened with the ethereal "Melodies & Desires," she spent the rest of the show busting up the stage with rollicking versions of her dreamy break-up jams. Swathed in black layers she rocked "Dance, Dance, Dance," banging on her drummer's cymbals and shaking up the folky number with freewheeling spunk. The crowd drooled when she went into "I'm Good I'm Gone." The band gave "Little Bit" a downtempo, acoustic revamp that heightened the vulnerability of the original version. During the encore she slipped in a cover of A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It" and finished with "Breaking It Up." For a Swedish pop star, she was mad hip hop. It was kinda like Lil' Kim Presents Lykke Li. Amazing.
Alaska in Winter is also doing some fun stuff performance-wise. A slight fellow with a penchant for suits and fur hats, the project's Brandon Bethancourt tinkered with an assortment of homemade key-tars (like, guitars duct-taped to keyboards), ukuleles and synths at Williamsburg's Monkeytown. The show had all the makings of crappy experimental theater (one guy, too many instruments, a tolerant, touchy-feely audience). But unlike crappy experimental theater it came across as a meticulously planned performance experience. Bethancourt projected video of himself playing each instrument individually on Monkeytown's four screens. He dressed in layers and disrobed throughout the set to match his virtual doppelgangers. So say before he goes into his pulsing, New Wave jam "Berlin," he'll take off his brown slacks to reveal some crisp white skinny pants that match the four celluloid Bethancourts strumming banjoes, slamming key-tars and wearing horsey masks. Ok, my description sounds like I huff glue but I pinky swear it's a totally great show.
I had a ridiculous time at the Friends We Love Festival. It was all beautiful Brooklyn folk who only come to the city for gritty yet fabulous parties such as this one. DJs like the legendary Bobbito and DJ Moni spun the chunes and Platinum Pied Pipers' Wajeed made an appearance. And there was the requisite indoor street art and that everybody was too drunk to really notice. The party also had the rowdiest entrance sitchy I've ever encountered. You go to the door and there's a sign saying the party's moved across the street. Fine. You get to that address and there's another sign saying it moved around the corner. Um, ok. The next entrance says it's on the other side of the building. Just when I'm about to give up thinking the party's in Narnia, I find the entrance. And the elevator isn't working. Joy. Five flights later, I get to the party. Sarah White and DJ Don Cuco hit the stage and I bop to their snappy number "I Wanna Be With You." Hopefully this bit of blog buzz doesn't make them switch to DATs. I think more rising stars need to slam key-tars and channel Lil Kim.

News: Frederick Takes 4th, Breaks PCC Record In State Meet 100 IM
Pasadena City College women's swimmer Emily Frederick entered the 2013 CCCAA State Championships meet looking for a new challenge. Although she held the Lancers' school record in the 100-yard individual medley on an early-season swim, Frederick abandoned that event for others later in the year and at the recent South Coast Conference Championships.
Frederick's 1:01.23 February swim helped her be fast enough to qualify for the event held Thursday on day 1 of the meet at East Los Angeles College's Swim Stadium. The freshman Lancer passed her test in the prelims with a 1.00.44, then became the first PCC women's swimmer to ever break the 1-minute barrier on another school record 59.58 to take a fourth place medal in the 100 IM. Frederick might have even finished higher in other years, but defending state champion and Santa Rosa swimmer Alexandria Holland reset the state meet record in the race at 57.67.
Frederick's fourth place was 15 of the team's 42 points as PCC stands in 10th place in the women's standings thus far. Frederick also matched Malia Garcia's highest previous PCC women's finish in a state meet event in 2007 when Garcia set a then school standard in the 50 butterfly, also finishing in fourth place.
Frederick later helped the Lancers capture the consolation title in the 400-yard medley relay as PCC won the heat with yet another school record of 4:05.62. South Coast Conference Swimmer of the Year Shannon Cheung, sophomore Paige Watroba and freshman Arolyn Basham all did their parts to make that record possible, snapping their mark of 4:05.97 set at the SCC Finals.
Cheung, a freshman, also captured a consolation title in winning the B final heat in the 500 freestyle at 5:11.59 (not a PCC record). After a rough trip in her prelims swim, one that she won her heat but failed to qualify for the finals with a slower 5:18 time, Cheung swam closer to her school record 5:09.89 (set at the conference finals) in the consolation final. In fact, Cheung's time would have placed her fifth in the championship final.
PCC has broken 14 school records this season, 12 of them that were snapped not once but at least twice by this talented 2013 team. The "Fearless Four" continue to take part in events on Friday-Saturday, April 26-27.

MADCAP, RED PRIEST AND ANGEL8:00 pm, Fri., Apr. 11, 2008
St. Philip Presbyterian Church 4807 San Felipe Pre-concert Lecture at 7:00 pm
Baroque violinist John Holloway, cellist Jaap ter Linden and harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen, three of the greatest names on the international early music scene, will return to Houston for a performance sponsored by Houston Early Music on April 11. The trio will perform a French/Italian-themed program titled Madcap, Red Priest and Angel which features violin sonatas by Corelli, Veracini (Madcap) and Leclair (said to have played like an angel), a Vivaldi (Red Priest) cello sonata and a Couperin harpsichord sonata. The performance will be at St. Philip Presbyterian Church, 4807 San Filipe.
John Holloway is one of the pioneers of the early music movement. His extensive work as leader of the London Classical Players and his years with noted early music ensembles (including the Academy of Ancient Music, Les Arts Florissants, and the Freiburger Barockorchester) established him as a major voice in authentic performance. Holloway is currently Professor of Violin (modern and baroque) and Chamber Music at the Hochschule für Musik in Dresden.
As one of the first early music specialists, Jaap ter Linden witnessed the beginnings of many of the oldest and finest baroque ensembles; he co-founded of Musica da Camera and served as principal cellist of Musica Antiqua Köln, The English Concert and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. He is highly sought as a soloist and conductor for both modern and period-instrument ensembles around the world.
Noted Danish harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen has a career as a soloist and chamber musician in Europe, North and South America and Japan. He appears regularly with soprano Emma Kirkby. His recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations won him a Diapason d'Or. He is the artistic director of Concerto Copenhagen, and appears regularly directing opera at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
At 7:00PM, Dr. Gregory Barnett, assistant professor of musicology at Shepherd School of Music, Rice University will give a lecture on the evening's program.
Tickets are $30 for general admission, $25 for seniors, $10 for students, under 15 free. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling 713-432-1744.
Houston Early Music is funded in part by grants from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

Over the last few weeks, several pundits have made splashes with articles declaring the death of "rock 'n roll." After close examination, we here at the Museum see these arguments as more of a testament to the decline of the music industry and not the art form that we celebrate. The statistics below are the underpinning for these writers' arguments. Additional hay has been made by the fact that other stats for the top songs of the year have been reviewed by certain critics and determined by them to include only two or three "rock" songs. You can probably guess where this latter revelation or "fact" takes me……. how do you define rock?
When you step back and take a look at history, so called experts have been predicting or claiming that rock and roll is or will be dead for almost as long as it has been around. The reality is that more folks, and especially young people, turn to this art form (as we righteously define it, e.g. rock, RnB, urban, hip hop, blues, etc.) to express themselves than they ever did. Ya just don't see gaggles of folk, jazz, or classical, combos spontaneously bubbling up everywhere to make music and change the world.
All in all, rock and roll remains the art form of choice to make the most noise about how you're feeling, what's happening, how the world should be …..or just to entertain! Look at Facebook, go to South By Southwest, check out YouTube!
Moreover, I don't see this changing for lots of reasons. Yes, it will continue to evolve. Yes, the changes will challenge many of us who are long in the tooth. There will even be those who will conjure up new labels to describe it. For me, a couple of my favorite artists have already said it best. To quote the Showmen's hit, "It Will Stand", from 1961, "Some will rename it, You might as well claim it, It will be here forever and ever, Ain't gonna fade, Never no never." Or more succinctly as Billy Joel might say," It's still rock and roll to me."
Here's a nice recap of 2010 in music, according to the Billboard charts. Some highlights:
· Album Sales continued to fall in 2010 (down 12.8% from 2009)
· Only four albums sold more than two million copies. In 2000, 32 albums sold that much!
· Digital album downloads posted 13% growth, accounting for nearly 26.5% of all U.S. album sales
· Eminem's Recovery (3.42 million) was the top-selling album of 2010. He previously had the top-selling album of the year in 2002, when The Eminem Show sold 7.61 million copies. Eminem is the first artist in the SoundScan era (since 1991) to earn the top-selling album in more than one year.

The Year in Review (From Billboard.com)
Eminem's comeback reached another landmark today, as his Recovery LP was officially confirmed as the United States' best-selling album of 2010, with 3.42 million copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The MC had previously nabbed the top-selling album of the year in 2002, when The Eminem Show moved 7.61 million.
It's the first time since SoundScan began tracking music sales in 1991 that an act has copped the top-selling album in more than one year.
Recovery is the biggest-selling album of a year since 2007, when Josh Groban's Noel sold 3.70 million. In 2009, Taylor Swift's Fearless was tops with 3.22 million, and in 2008, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III reigned with 2.87 million.
Recovery made big news when it arrived on the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 back on July 10, 2010. It was Em's sixth chart-topper (and sixth No. 1 in a row) and launched with 741,000 copies in its first week. At that point, it was biggest single-sales week of the year for an album, although that feat that would later be broken by the arrival of Taylor Swift's Speak Now, which shifted 1.05 million when it exploded at No. 1 on the Nov. 13, 2010, chart.
Speaking of Speak Now, after only 10 weeks in release, the set finishes 2010 as the third-best seller of the year with 2.96 million. It stands behind Lady Antebellum's Need You Now, which is No. 2 with 3.09 million.
Even with the comparatively late release date of Speak Now, Swift is also 2010's best-selling act in terms of overall albums, with 4.47 million sold. She's just ahead of Eminem, who shifted 4.32 million last year.
Swift is no stranger to the year-end top 10-selling albums tally, as she's placed a set among the 10 biggest albums every year since the 2007 recap. That year, her self-titled album was the ninth-biggest seller, with 1.95 million. In 2008, it was the No. 6 best, with 1.60 million. And, as earlier mentioned, Swift's Fearless was 2009's biggest album.
At No. 4 on 2010's year-end best-selling albums list is Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 (2.32 million), followed by Susan Boyle's The Gift (No. 5; 1.85 million), Lady Gaga's The Fame (No. 6; 1.59 million), Sade's Soldier of Love (No. 7; 1.30 million), Drake's Thank Me Later (No. 8; 1.27 million), Usher's Raymond v. Raymond (No. 9; 1.18 million) and Ke$ha's Animal (No. 10; 1.14 million).
All of 2010's top 10 albums were released in 2010, except for Lady Gaga's The Fame, which was originally issued on Oct. 28, 2008. It ranked No. 4 for 2009 with 2.24 million and No. 6 in 2010, in a rather complicated situation: Gaga's The Fame Monster EP, released on Nov. 24, 2009, came in at No. 21 for '10. But, sales of the deluxe edition of The Fame (which include the Monster EP) were counted toward the older album, which certainly contributed to its sustained sales in '10.
That situation may have made the album the only one of 2010's top 10 not to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. It peaked at No. 2 on the Jan. 16, 2010, chart.
During the 52 weeks ended Jan. 2, album sales in the U.S. fell 12.8% to 326.2 million units from 373.9 million units in the prior year, as the sales of CDs fell by nearly 20% for the fourth year in a row. Digital album downloads fared better, posting 13% growth to 86.3 million from the 76.4 million scanned during 2009, accounting for nearly 26.5% of all U.S. album sales last year, according to SoundScan. (The top-selling digital album of '10 was also Eminem's Recovery, with 852,000 downloads.)
While Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album finishes 2010 as the 14th biggest-selling overall album (997,000), she does claim the top-selling digital song of the year, as her former Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "California Gurls" moved 4.40 million downloads. Perry has three of the 40 top-selling songs of last year, as "Teenage Dream" is No. 12 (3.01 million) and "Firework" is No. 28 (2.33 million).
In total, five songs cleared the 4 million sales mark in 2010, up from four that did it in 2009. On the 2010 list, "Gurls" is followed by Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" (4.31 million), Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna, 4.25 million), Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" (4.08 million) and B.o.B's "Airplanes" (featuring Hayley Williams, 4.00 million).
The year-end sales totals for "Gurls" are off a bit from the champ of 2009, the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow," which sold 4.76 million that year.
A pair of acts double up in the top 10 digital songs tally, as both Eminem and Taio Cruz place titles in the region. Em owns the No. 3 slot with "Lie" in addition to the No. 7 placing with "Not Afraid" (3.41 million). Cruz does it with "Dynamite" at No. 4 as well as "Break Your Heart" (featuring Ludacris) at No. 9, with 3.25 million).
As for the rest of the year's top 10-selling songs, Usher's "OMG" (featuring will.i.am) is No. 6 with 3.76 million, Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" is No. 8 with 3.28 million and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" is No. 10 with 3.18 million.
Overall digital song sales grew 1% in 2010 as sales increased to 1.17 billion downloads last year, compared with 2009's 1.16 billion.

Colon Cancer
Dr. Haider Zafar is board-certified in both Oncology and Hematology at Banner Estrella Medical Center. He is chairman of the hospital's Cancer Committee.
Question: I hear many people talking about colon cancer on television. Are there new ways to treat it and how do I know if I have it?
Answer: Cancer of the colon or rectum, also called colorectal cancer, is the fourth most common cancer in men and women in the United States and one of the most treatable, which is why it has lately been given a lot of attention in the media and by physicians and researchers. When diagnosed early, 90 percent of colon cancers are completely curable but often, people attribute the symptoms of colon cancer to other factors and do not seek treatment in time.
Question: What are the symptoms?
Answer: Symptoms vary depending on the location of the cancer and the stage (level) of cancer, but typical symptoms include unexplained weight loss, a change in bowel movements, belly pain, tar-black stool or blood in the stool, which is never normal and should always be followed by a physician visit.
Question: What steps should I take?
Answer: If you don't have any of these symptoms, if you are under the age of 50, and if you have no family history of colon cancer, chances are screening before the age of 50 will not be necessary. However, if you have a first degree family member who had colon cancer at a young age (under 50), it is best to begin screening at about 10 years before the age they were diagnosed as the disease does have hereditary traits.
Patients diagnosed with colon cancer today have multiple options in how they treat the disease, dependent on the seriousness of the case. Colon cancer patients usually undergo surgery to remove the tumor. This "resection" surgery entails making an incision in the abdomen, removing the tumor and then reconnecting the healthy colon. Previously stage 1 and 2 colon cancer patients had surgery as their only treatment option with no further benefit from medicines given after surgery to prevent recurrence.
Today, research has resulted in an abundance of drugs that, individually or working together, can treat early stages of colon cancer after surgery and reduce the recurrence significantly. Chemotherapy drugs such as Camptosar or Oxaliplatin work in colon cancer Stages 2 to 4 and these drugs, with the addition of biological agents (Avastin or Erbitux to name a few) can help cancer patients tremendously with the advanced Stage 4 cancer and add years to their lives.
The most important thing, if you have a family history of colon cancer or are over the age of 50, is to get screened yearly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by casbury Great quality for the price Love these chairs. Originally order 4 for my tressel table that I purchased at World Market and then ordered two more when they were on sale. So comfy and beautiful at the same time. September 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie Beautiful, classic looking chair I have searched for a while to find dining chairs that were both affordable and classic looking. This chair is perfect! There is assembly required; however, it's super easy and everything you need is included. In addition, it is comfortable for all ages - men and women. Although a bit stiff at first - it becomes more comfortable over time. In addition, this is a great chair for families with children as can wipe off to clean. I sprayed mine with Scotchguard to prolong wear. November 10, 2012

TEMPE, Ariz. -
By Kris Knief Arizona State beat the Arizona Wildcats 5-1 on Saturday night to even up the three-game Pac-10 series. Brady Rodgers (3-1) was brilliant for seven innings, allowing only two hits and a run, to earn the win and help ASU improve to 17-6, 1-1 in Pac-10 play, in front of a sell out crowd for the second consecutive night.
While Rodgers was keeping the Wildcat hitters off balance, the Sun Devils offense was persistent. The Devils would score in the bottom of the second on a Joey DeMichele triple down the right field line that would score Zach Wilson. Three batters later, Xorge Carrillo doubled to left scoring Matt Newman and Deven Marrero to put the Devils up 3-0. But they were not done, as Andrew Aplin stepped to the plate and singled to center to score Carrillo and give the Devils a 4-0 lead after two innings.
The Wildcats would score in the top of the fourth inning on a Seth Mejias-Brean single to center scoring Steve Selsky, but Arizona would not push another run across the rest of the way.
While the offense was great, Rodgers, Joseph Lopez and Mitchell Lambson kept the Wildcats off the scoreboard. Rodgers threw the first seven, striking out 5 before giving way to Lopez. Lopez and Lambson would each throw an inning of scoreless ball to secure the win.
Deven Marrero was 3-4 with two runs scored, while Xorge Carrillo was 3-4 with three RBI.
The Sun Devils will wrap up the three- game series on Sunday afternoon with the Arizona Wildcats. First pitch is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. from Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark.

Chad Henne's departure from Miami Dolphins imminent
The Chad Henne era in Miami is likely over.
The Miami Dolphins' 2008 second-round pick will become an unrestricted free agent on March 13, and league sources say the Dolphins won't be making the former University of Michigan standout an offer.
Dolphins management has made it very clear that they need to upgrade the level of play at quarterback, and the team will likely do that through free agency or the draft.
That's why re-signing Henne, who produced a 75.7 quarterback rating in his four seasons, isn't an option Miami's willing to explore.
"Chad has done what we've asked him to do. I like Chad personally very well. He's very smart. Very intelligent. Very tough. A football guy. He loves being around the game and is a very good teammate,"Jeff Ireland said at the Senior Bowl last month."But this football team didn't win enough games when he was quarterback here. But that doesn't mean he did everything wrong, or right," Ireland said of Henne, who produced a 13-18 record as a starter for Miami. "If he goes somewhere else, Chad's a good football player. He can play in this league."
See video below of Ireland summing up Chad Henne's career as a Dolphin:
But there's a difference between being a player, and being a solid NFL starter. Which is why the Dolphins are ready to move on.
When Matt Moore turned in a 87.1 quarterback rating in his 12 starts last season, producing a 6-6 record with virtually the same weaponry Henne's had the past two seasons, the Dolphins were shown the light.
This spring Henne, a four-year starter at Michigan, should be fully recovered from his left shoulder surgery that derailed his 2012 season after four starts.
Henne will likely finish his tenure with the Dolphins completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 7,114 yards. He averaged 6.17 yards per pass, which including a career high 7.18 yards per attempt in 2011. But he threw 31 touchdowns and 37 interceptions during the 36 games he played for Miami.
Where Henne lands will likely depend on which teams are in the market for a solid backup, one looking for a fresh start.

Doctor Doom
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Dr. Victor "Vicky" Von Doom (born 1961) is a remote viewer who specializes in predicting utter crap. In 1983 he was called into learning Remote Viewing technique under Ingo Swan, many of his readings where unsatisfactory. In 1989 he started a private company to teach the technique to the public sector. He currently still owns the world and is a master of Scientology.
edit Background and Origin
Due to being the eldest direct descendant of Chivalry Hawkins, Dr. Doom (born Victor Von Doom) is the current ruler of Latveria and the result of an indiscretion involving a Latverian witch named Rita and Elvis Presley. Victor studied the dark arts of Dianetics and learned all he could about Scientology. This makes him a master of technology and magic as an OTXI level powered Thetan. His younger sister died at the age of 6 from severe brain hemorrhaging as the result of massive head trauma from a donkey punch delivered by Brian Peppers. Dr. Doom didn't seem to notice. He is an arch-nemesis of both the Fantastic Four and the Get-Along-Gang. He also has a strange fetish for fellatio in the middle of Broadway musicals while spanking a monkey. The monkey is paid five dollars.
edit The College Years
Richard was working on his Ph.D. in World Domination minoring in Fascism, and was on the honor roll. Two college students named Reed "Keith" Richards and Ben Grimm went on a panty raid at a nearby sorority and forgot to invite Victor. Angry at not being invited, he made an device to contact his dead mother being held prisoner by Xenu using his Scientology skills and Xenu blew up a themro grenade in his face. It scarred his face, but he felt that it was not enough. After that, he got even more angrier, and had a suit of iron armor made by Monks and he put on the face-plate while it was still white hot and burnt his face until it resembled a grilled-cheese sandwich. In order to disguise his dis-figuration he wore a mask and a fake mustache and beard.
He considers himself a genius because he did these things, and now calls himself Doctor Doom, despite the fact that he did not graduate from college and had nine credit hours left to fill in Humanities and Social Science. Anyone who disagrees with him over his right to call himself a Doctor, he will give a Rear Admiral Wedgie to them to teach them a lesson. Dr. Doom claims he CLEPPED out of those classes later and got his degree from a Diploma Mill called L. Ron Hubbard College of Dianetics.
He claims he can cure people by removing their Thetans, but Richards and the Fantastic Four keep getting in his way. Doom claims that by taking over the world, only then can he become powerful enough to remove all of the Thetans and save humanity from disease, poverty, war, mental illnesses, etc by removing all of the Thetans.
edit His rise to power
Mancunian GP famous for his caring, compassionate nature, Doctor Doom has made the Guinness Book of Records for his "care taking". He first entered the media spotlight because of his innovative methods of treating pain in the elderly. (i.e., hooking them up to cybernetic devices and turning them into unfeeling killing machines. Thus removing their evil Thetans.)
For many years, his genius went unnoticed and unrewarded, but that all changed when the daughter of one of his patients forwarded the Doctor for a Nobel Prize. With his trademark green miniskirt and matching cape, the Doctor became an instant hit, and was able to spread his services to a much wider audience. He later changed his name to Dr. Victor "Vicky" Von Doom. He later went on to write the very famous Dr. Doom's Proof of Inherent Flaws in Democracy that prove that George W. Bush's leadership and the way he runs the USA are valid and correct.
Dr. Doom would have brought about world peace by taking over the world and making it one government under him, if it hadn't been for the Fantastic Four. Dr. Doom hired an agent, Luke Cage, to help him get rid of the Fantastic Four, but Mr. Cage lead the Fantastic Four to Doom's house and then asked Dr. Doom to "Where's my money, honey!" while the Fantastic Four set Dr. Doom's house on fire.
edit Cures AIDS
In the year 3212, Doom discovered that AIDS was created by the increase of movies that contained the insane Hutt known as Tom Cruise. He promptly slaughtered Cruise, saving all the world for a hundred years (after which it is foretold that Cruise will walk the earth again) from AIDS. As a result, Tom Cruise was unable to have sex with women or men, and Dr. Doom cured herpes as well.

I'm going out on a limb here because obviously I haven't seen all the movies showing at Sundance 2013. But I can't imagine there could be a movie as engaging, innovative and just plain fun to watch as What's He Building in There? by Ricardo Rivera and Klip Collective.
There's just no other word but cool to describe the 3-D installation which wraps the exterior of the New Frontier venue at The Yard (1251 Kearns Blvd.. Inspired by the Tom Waits song, the film moves from the projected doors of the venue past a bizarre meat-packing factory, into the lab of a mad scientist guy whose voice and movements recall the Edgar the Bug, Vincent d'Onofrio's character in Men in Black. There is also a postman, and giant mechanical eyeball, flames and a tongue involved.
And let me just say here that writing and posting pictures about successful filmmaking is one of the least satisfactory tasks there is. How do you translate light, motion and sound into flat symbols?
Anyway, take my word for it. Wait until dark, go stand under the headlamps, and nosh on a grilled cheese from Off the Grid food truck, which will be parked there for the duration of the festival.
Two fresh parmesan waffles sandwiching basil ricotta and Barely Buzzed Beehive cheese. Sweet tooth waffles and coffee are also available.
And as long as you're taking my advice, don't just stop outside. Inside, the New Frontier venue is packed with exciting work films, media installations, multimedia performances and transmedia experiences that "explore the convergence of film, art, new media technology and storytelling."
Like, I was fascinated by Joanie Lemercier's Eyjafjallalokull, though I wouldn't dare try pronouncing it. It's a 3-D mapping installation that recreates the huge eruption of the Icelandic volcano which paralyzed Europe in 2010. Settle in and watch the whole 16-minute cycle. It moves slowly at first, but this is geologic time we're talking about, people. Be patient and you'll be rewarded.

I'd like to routinely clone my live pfSense 2.0 server for backup purposes. I am a FreeBSD n00b.
What I'm doing now: 1. Manually install pfSense to an identical hardware 2. Backup config file from live machine 3. Restore config file to backup machine
Works OK but is cumbersome, since I have to "clone" the network environment also for the backup server while performing a restore.
Is there a more "elegant" way to do this?

Jerry Jeff Walkers croons at Red Butte Garden Sunday evening
And you thought July provided some busy weekends, not to mention the caliber of talent on tap this weekend... and, of course, with maybe the single coolest weekend of the year at hand, yours truly has booked a trip out of town. Nevermind that some of my all-time faves start parading in on Saturday. But that's my problem. If you are here, I envy you. Seriously. But only if you get out, so let's look at the options.
Once in a while you see a concert that really and truly stands out. That happened to me back in '08, The Wilders played a memorable, blistering twang-tastic set on a Sunday afternoon at Snowbird's bluegrass festival. I've been patiently awaiting their return ever since. Thursday night's the night as The State Room hosts the energetic Kansas City string-quartet for what should be a blast along with The David Mayfield Parade, who are catching on - fast. Tickets are $14.
Check out The Wilders right here:
Also Thursday, and it's hard not to see some good music at some point this weekend, Philadelphia's Kurt Vile will be at the Twilight Concert Series in Pioneer Park along with rock legend Thurston Moore, of Sonic Youth. Both are touring behind strong, fun records. And while it's become typical for about two-thirds of the Pioneer Park audience to not give a tinker's damn about who's playing, but for those of us who do care about music, this is a fine night.
On Friday, The Infamous Stringdusters will get their grooving grass sounds on at The State Room. These guys are relentless tourers and are making a return trip to The State Room. Get tickets right at thestateroom.com.
Saturday: The Tennessee roots-rocking gals Those Darlins will be at The Urban Lounge on Saturday night as part of a triple bill along with MotoPony and White Arrows. After seeing this group earlier this year - also at the Urban - I left slightly less of a fan than I had been based on hearing their first two records. But if I were going to be around Saturday, I'd give them another chance. You should too. Tickets are $8 (!) and remain on sale at 24tix.com.
Also Saturday, Warped Tour makes its annual appearance at the Utah State Fairgrounds. A few things we know about this year's Warped (and all the other ones before it). It'll be hot, and about 80 percent of the crowd won't know 80 percent of the bands. And it's ADHD theater, because except for the headliners, every band gets a 15-minute set (somewhere, Andy Warhol is smiling) and Facebook and Twitter will probably crash locally Saturday with all the photo tagging and status updates that'll be going on. And rest assured, if you go to this, and are older than 22, you will leave feeling like you and Warhol could have attended high school together. Always entertaining Memphis rockers Lucero will be on hand, and these guys actually have fans older than 18. Also, The Aggrolites and Larry and His Flask are some of the more appealing acts. Tickets are $35 the day of and the music starts at 11:30 a.m.
And fans of quality free music should take note that roots rockers extraordinaire The Bottle Rockets and famed songwriter Marshall Crenshaw will be at Snowbird at 6 p.m. Saturday. Neither of these acts are as famous as they ought to be, but listen to the Rockets''90s rock classics "Radar Gun," and "1,000 Car" or any of Crenshaw's alt-country tunes and see what you've missed. If you want to see something good, but cheap, this is your show.
Sunday: Gallivan Center will host another outdoor show this Sunday when songwriter Amos Lee plays a gig originally scheduled for back in February. Talk about trading up. Instead of a gray, winter's evening stuck inside The Depot, you get a warm summer night downtown. Tickets start at $26.
And finally, Sunday night, Texas country music legend Jerry Jeff Walker, pictured above, graces the Red Butte Garden stage with a full band. That is reason alone to leave the house. The fact that James Cotton, a blues legend with few peers, is the opener? Don't miss this. It shall astound you.

Jim Boeheim defended Melo for his game 6 performance but ripped Chandler, Felton, JR and even Prigs, said Prigs never scored on Team USA in the Olympics.
Boeheim knows the game so is his assessment of the Knicks having no chance to win against Indiana may be sad but true.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim went on a verbal tirade against Carmelo Anthony�s Knicks teammates, shocked his former player is receiving blame for the team�s second-round flameout to Indiana.
In the Syracuse Post-Standard, Boeheim ripped Tyson Chandler, whom he coached on the U.S. Olympic Team, point guards Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni and even coach Mike Woodson in trying to defend Anthony�s honor.
When asked if Anthony can lead the Knicks as constructed to an NBA title, Boeheim told the paper: �Not on that team. He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody�s killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn�t try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler went like this� and the paper reported Boeheim dodged in his chair.
�[Tyson] was wide open,�� Boeheim added. �He should have been looking for the ball right here. Kenyon Martin should have been looking for the ball. They both went like this [Boeheim dodged again]. Carmelo gets turnovers and the announcers aren�t smart enough to even think, �Well, the guy should try to catch the ball.�
�Tyson Chandler claims he never gets the ball,�� Boeheim continued.� He doesn�t try to get the ball. He had two points and Hibbert had [21].��
Boeheim went on his diatribe at the Carmelo K. Anthony Center in Syracuse, which Anthony helped pay for. The Syracuse coach catches most of the Knicks� games on television to watch his former player.
�What was the difference in the series?,�� Boeheim said. �Raymond Felton was 0-for-7. Lance Stephenson had [25] points. They�re going to blame it on Carmelo? I told him when he went to New York, �They�re going to blame it on you.�
�They have no chance to win,�� Boeheim continued, according to the Syracuse daily. �Pablo Prigioni has never scored against [Team USA]. We played Argentina six or seven times in different events. He hasn�t scored against us. You have to have players to win in the NBA.�
Boeheim said J.R. Smith and Felton �weren�t great players where they were and now they�re asking them to be second and third options.�
Boeheim said the Heat have second, third and fourth options of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen and have Shane Battier, too.
�The New York Knicks have who?� Boeheim asked.
Anthony, for his part, scored four points in three fourth quarters during the three losses to the Pacers at Bankers Life Field House. When asked about Woodson�s offensive scheme, Boeheim said: �I said to my son, �[Carmelo�s] going to have to get 50 for them to win.� That�s what he needed. Fifty. You�re not going to get that against Indiana.��

Twins Hall Of Fame
The other day, I was very excited to hear that former Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Brad Radke is being inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in 2009. Radke was my favorite Twins pitcher of all-time, as I loved the way he was able to dominate batters with little more than a great changeup and pin-point accuracy. Though not quite as good, I always thought of Brad the Rad as the "poor man's" Greg Maddux. The big knock on Radke (what kept him from really becoming an elite pitcher) was his tendancy to give up the gopher balls at an alarming rate, but he still managed to be a very effective pitcher nonetheless.
A few years ago, while writing for the University Register (the student-run newspaper at the college I attended, the University of Minnesota-Morris), I penned a column about Radke that I would like to share on this blog. It was written it 2005 and thus is a bit dated, but I think it still manages to capture the essence of why I admired Radke so much. Here it is:
Over the years, starting pitcher Brad Radke has been the subject of much debate among Twins fans. Is he the glue that holds the pitching staff together, or just an average pitcher who has been overrated his entire career? Looking at his career statistics, the latter argument seems to win: 136 wins, 130 losses, 2,288.2 innings pitched, 2,446 hits, 302 home runs, 4.22 ERA. While those statistics are better than most who toe the rubber, they are definitely not what legends are made of. However, Radke's value to the Twins cannot be calculated on statistics alone. By giving his heart and soul to the Twins organization for the past eleven years, this sportswriter feels that Brad deserves a better legacy than ".500 pitcher".
After the 1991 World Championship season and a strong second place finish in 1992, the Minnesota Twins started disbanding the nucleus of those teams due to financial constraints. The area hit hardest was starting pitching. Jack Morris, staff ace in 1991, was let go amid concerns over his age, while Scott Erickson and Kevin Tapani (key contributors in '91 and '92) each faltered under the "ace" mantra. During the '93 and '94 seasons, such players as Willie Banks, Mike Trombley, Eddie Guardado (yes, Eddie!), Pat Mahomes, and Jim Deshaies tried to bolster the starting staff, but to no avail. Not one of those players made the rotation for any length of time and both seasons were losing efforts. It wasn't until the next year that the Twins would find a true ace–Brad Radke.
When Radke made his debut in 1995, he looked like another pitcher to be discarded to the scrap heap. In 181 innings, Radke was 11-14 with a 5.32 ERA and had a tendency to give up home runs, allowing 32 of them. Though he got battered around his inaugural campaign, he did have good control of his pitches and the Twins, having no better options, decided to bring him back for another try in 1996. In '96, he managed to give up 40 gopher balls, but pitched 232 innings (a team-high that season) and get his ERA down to 4.46. Now, while those numbers may not sound impressive, the Twins at that time had no other starter with an ERA lower than 5.00. Radke (in just his second year) was the "established" ace of the Minnesota Twins.
In 1997 (arguably his best season as a Twin) he posted a 20-10 record with a 3.87 ERA. To put his 20-win feat into perspective, he did it on a team that finished 68-94 with little offensive talent. On a winning team, Radke could have easily racked up even more wins and established himself as a premiere pitcher in the league. Instead, Brad was playing for the lowly "Twinkies" at the time and getting little or no attention from the press.
Over the next three seasons ('98, '99, and '00), Radke was 36-44 with an 4.17 ERA. For most pitchers, those stats would kick them out the door, but one must remember that Radke was playing for perennial cellar-dweller teams. Numerous times Brad would keep his team in the game and receive no offensive support (and consequently a loss), or leave the game with a lead and watch the bullpen squander it. He might have won 15-20 games every year playing for a respectable team. For those reasons, his value to the Twins could not be based on statistics. His dependability (pitching over 214 innings in each of those seasons) and willingness to take the mound every fifth day for a sink-hole of a team were vital for an organization trying to build a winning philosophy. In the ultimate show of loyalty to Minnesota, Radke signed a four year contract at the end of 2000.
Radke's confidence payed off in 2001, as the team finished with its first winning season since 1992. Brad was once again the leader of the pitching staff, going 15-11 with a 3.94 ERA and eating up 226 innings. The playoffs were narrowly missed that year, but better days were on the horizon.
During the 2002 season, Radke pitched only 118.1 innings due to injuries, but got his first chance at pitching in the playoffs. In two starts against Oakland he was 1-1 with a 1.54 ERA (winning Game 5 to clinch the series). In the ALCS against Anaheim, he won his lone start, going 6+ innings and giving up only two earned runs. Though the Twins lost that series, Radke had proven that he could perform well in the biggest starts of his career. He was the unquestioned ace of the staff, but competition was lurking.
In 2003 and 2004, Radke was his old reliable self (25-18, 3.99 ERA), but Johan Santana was getting all the attention. While Santana burst onto the scene in 2003 and won the Cy Young award in 2004, Radke kept laboring along every fifth day. He still gave up a startling number of home runs as well as more hits than innings pitched, but more often than not he gave the Twins a chance to win in his starts. The Twins made it to the playoffs each year (losing to the Yankees both times) and Radke turned in two more good performances, bringing his career postseason ERA to 3.19. In typically Radke fashion, however, he was 1-3. At the end of 2004, Radke's contract was up and he was being courted by the Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels. Signing with either of those teams would have meant better statistics for Brad (as a result of better run-support), but once again he chose to stay with the Twins, signing a two-year deal well under the $-value of the other offers. He was looking forward to another run at the AL Central division title.
This year, that "run" never materialized. Though Radke and the rest of the pitching rotation pitched well the entire year, an anemic offense doomed the Twins to a mediocre finish. Before being deactivated in late September due to soreness in his shoulder, Radke was 9-12 with a 4.04 ERA and ten no-decisions. For the first half of the season he was quite dominant, but after the All-Star break his shoulder injury pushed him back to mediocrity (he was not even able to throw in the bullpen between starts). He battled the injury for a month and a half, not succumbing to the pain until the season was all but over.
Next year will be the end of Brad Radke's current contract, after which he plans to retire. For ten years, Radke has given his competitive heart and soul for a team that has too often not given him much in return. While he will likely go down in Twins history as second-fiddle to Johan Santana (Brad didn't play for many good teams, didn't put together one spectacular season, didn't strike out many batters, or didn't pitch deep into the postseason often enough to get media recognition), he deserves better. Many fans will await his retirement after next year, chafing over his mediocre record and statistics, but I will applaud his every start. He deserves all we can give him.

Great article! I don't think many people really appreciated Radke and what he meant to the organization during his time. Being the anchor of the rotation on a perennial cellar-dweller, as the Twins were for most of his career, is a thankless task. There's no question that he would be considered a hero if he'd pitched for the Yankees or the Red Sox.

ZF-10005: Zend_Locale getenv(HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE) Windows ISAPI - Autodetection of Locale has been failed!
Does Zend_Locale fully support PHP running on Windows IIS ISAPI mode?
"getenv(HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE)" returns null with php running on Windows IIS ISAPI mode which causes the following Exception:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Locale_Exception' with message 'Autodetection of Locale has been failed!'
Would it be better if getenv() can fall back to using $_SERVER variables in case getenv is not available?
To reproduce, simply create a file with the following (include Zend/Locale or Autoloader first of course):
$locale = new Zend_Locale(Zend_Locale::BROWSER);
Closing as non-issue
This exception just notes that the browser does not send an language header.
And that in your environment even the system's locale can not be found. This exception is only thrown when no locale can be retrieved, wether within the browser, nor the environment. And when additionally the default fallback locale has been erased manually.
So the generic problem is not ISAPI but that even php's setlocale() method does not return any value and that default has been erased manually.
My broswer is correctly sending the language header. I can confirm this as I was migrating the code from Linux server to a Windows server. Same test code works fine on Linux server (using the same browser).
Please note that I have "Zend_Locale::BROWSER" in the constructor ( $locale = new Zend_Locale(Zend_Locale::BROWSER); ) which means I only want to check for browser language setting, it should not fall back to environment language settings anyway. It's not related to setlocale or locale not set in the server/php environment.
The problem really comes down to the getBrowser() function in Locale.php on Windows IIS ISAPI mode where getenv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE') is called. getenv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE') function call returns null even when the correct header is sent. In fact, getenv() returns null for whatever server variables I try to get. However $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] is available, so my question is whether getenv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE') can fallback to use $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] just for Windows IIS ISAPI mode?
Looking at the PHP manual, it appear to suggest that in CGI mode, getenv will work: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getenv.php
Tested with new information and agreed
Fixed with r22529
I think this fix is not full - it should be wrapped with isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']) because this variable is not always available - for example when web crawlers visit our page. When we updated to r22529 of ZF 1.10 branch we now get a lot of PHP notices: *Undefined index HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE* at *Zend/Locale.php:430* from user-agents like "msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" or "Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html; ...)" or "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
Not reproduceable because there IS a check with isset()
Yes, it is there now indeed, because it was fixed in http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-10114. Thank you. I guess I'd better create a separate issue next time instead of commenting already closed one.
