No. 24 Lady Raiders Close Fall at Landfall Tradition
Oct. 25, 2012
Live Stats | 2012-13 Statistics | Tournament Preview
LUBBOCK, Texas - The 24th-ranked Texas Tech women's golf team closes out its fall schedule this weekend when the Lady Raiders tee off Friday morning at the Landfall Tradition held at the Landfall Country Club in Wilmington, N.C.
Annually one of the top collegiate tournaments of the season, the three-day event boasts several of the country's top programs as 11 of the 17 participating teams are ranked in the top 30 of the latest Golfweek Magazine poll.
Tech will play 18 holes per day in the 54-hole format that also includes fellow Big 12 foes No. 17 Oklahoma State and No. 28 Iowa State. The Lady Raiders are returning to the tournament for the first time since 2010 when they finished 16th overall.
After opening the year with a commanding victory at the Ptarmigan Ram Classic, Tech has placed eighth and fourth in its last two tournaments at the Windy City Collegiate and the Suzie Maxwell Berning Classic.
Kim Kaufman has been Tech's highest finisher in all three tournaments as the senior has recorded two top-five performances en route to a team-leading 72.0 stroke average. The Clark, S.D. native enters this weekend ranked 19th in the latest Golfweek individual poll.
She will be part of head coach JoJo Robertson's fourth-different lineup this year as Hannah Arnold, Beverly Mendoza, Elin Arvidsson, and Kimmy Hill will all make the trip. Hill is coming off two-straight top-25 finishes to start her collegiate career.
Mendoza will be the first Lady Raider to begin the opening round Friday morning as she is set to tee off at 7:30 a.m. CT from the 10th hole.

CEDAR PARK - Derward Thayne "Red" Amonett, 86, formerly of Lubbock, died Thursday, May 25, 2006.
Celebration of life services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in St. John's United Methodist Church of Lubbock. Burial will be in Resthaven Memorial Park in Lubbock by Rix Funeral Directors of Lubbock.
After 86 joyful years, Mr. Amonett passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 25, in Cedar Park.
The youngest of 10 siblings, Thayne was born to Elmira Octivie Irwin and John Alvis Amonett on Dec. 29, 1919, in Beaty. The family moved several times before settling in Flomot. Thayne participated in various school athletic events, which would help him gain notoriety in his college career. After a stellar football career at Flomot High School, Thayne moved on to play at Texas Technological College. Burl Huffman delighted in introducing Thayne as the "Flomot Flash who flattened Floydada Friday; fans feel flabbergasted." To the end of his life, Thayne delighted in proclaiming that phrase to all he met.
World War II interrupted his education, and he served as a warrant officer with the Army Air Corps in England during the war. After completing a degree in education at Texas Tech, his former coach, Pete Cawthon, recruited Thayne to play for the Detroit Lions. He then went on to coach football at Matador, Ralls, Crowell and Wellington. He is still remembered by many across West Texas as "Coach Amonett." After a 34 year career as an educator, coach, principal and superintendent, Thayne retired in 1982 from Lubbock Independent School District.
In addition to his distinguished coaching career, Thayne was a loving father and grandfather, always finding time to attend athletic events and band trips. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat who loved provoking arguments with the local Republicans. During his later years, he was a devoted fan at Texas Tech football and basketball games and loved to eat at 50-Yard Line and Black-Eyed Pea. Thayne will be remembered for his humor, his love for his family and his devotion to Texas Tech football.
Thayne will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy Maxine Johnson Amonett.
Survivors include a son, Randall Thayne and wife Donna of Big Spring; a daughter, Robin Kay Greene and husband Joe of Cedar Park; three grandsons, James Ashley Amonett of Upland, Calif., and children Mackenzie and Emily and Aaron Aston and wife Stephanie and children Britney, Courtney and Lindsey and Andrew Aston and wife Janis and children Brandon, Christopher and Nathan, all of San Antonio; three granddaughters Amy, Kayla and Melyssa Greene and son Rylee, all of Cedar Park; his beloved companion, Evelyn Schmoekel of Lubbock; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family suggests memorials be to the Red Raider Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 45055, Lubbock, TX 79409-5055; the Alzheimer's Association, P.O. Box 112, Midland, TX 79702-0112; or the Prader-Willi Syndrome Foundation, in care of Derek Snitker, P.O. Box 578, Coppell, TX 75019.
Sign the online guest register at www.rixfd.com.
Visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday at the funeral home in Lubbock.

The Match-Up
Northern Illinois makes its longest road trip of the season when it travels to Princess Anne, Md. to take on the Hawks of Maryland Eastern Shore in a return game after the Hawks' visit to NIU last December. NIU is looking to build on its first victory of the season, an 81-57 win over Cardinal Stritch at home last Sunday, while UMES is also coming off its first win of 2010-11, versus Kean (86-68) on Saturday. Catch the Northern Illinois ISP Sports Network broadcast of the game on WLBK AM 1360 in DeKalb.
About UMES
After opening the season with losses to Tulane (92-61), Columbia (108-74) and American (65-58), UMES broke into the win column with a 86-68 victory over Division III Kean last Saturday at home. The Hawks have three players averaging in double figure scoring in Kevin White (12.5 ppg), Dishawn Bradshaw (12.3) and Hillary Haley (11.3). UMES is being outscored by 13 points per game and out-rebounded by an 8.2 margin in its first four games. They are shooting at a 42.7 percent margin from the field.
Recapping Stritch
Xavier Silas scored a career high 34 points, shooting 6-of-9 on three-pointers, to lead Northern Illinois to its first win of the season, an 81-57 victory over Cardinal Stritch University, Sunday, Nov. 21 at the NIU Convocation Center. The Huskies started slowly before going to Silas on the offensive end and building a lead of as many as 19 points in the first half. NIU picked up its effort on the defensive end in the second half, holding Stritch to just 28.6 percent shooting and forcing 13 turnovers in the half.
The Last Meeting
Junior Xavier Silas scored 19 points and guard Darion "Jake" Anderson recorded his second double-double of the year with 15 points and 10 rebounds as the Huskies claimed a 87-69 victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Dec. 22 at the NIU Convocation Center. The Hawks took an early 3-0 lead but then saw all five Huskie starters score during a 12-5 run in the game's first five minutes. Northern Illinois shot 62.5 percent from the field during the run and went on to lead 44-30 at halftime. UMES fought back, climbing within 10 points in the game's final five minutes, but the Huskies' 50-26 rebounding advantage was too much to overcome. NIU finished the game by hitting 48.5 percent of its field goal tries and had its season highs for points (87), steals (12) and field goal percentage in the game.
On the Road
NIU is looking for its first road victory of the season in Maryland after falling to Bradley, 66-63, in its only previous road game of the year. Last season, Northern Illinois went 3-13 on the road with all three of its road wins coming in January. The Huskies will play 15 road games and 14 home games in 2010-11.
Coaching Connection
The Hawks are coached by Frankie Allen, one of Ricardo Patton's mentors in the collegiate coaching business. Patton spent two seasons on Allen's staff at Tennessee State in 1991-9 and 1992-93. As a member of Allen's staff, Patton helped bring future NBA star Carlos Rogers to the Tigers.
MAC Honor
NIU senior Xavier Silas picked up Northern Illinois' first Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week honor of the season on Monday after scoring 56 points in the Huskies' games against Bradley and Cardinal Stritch last week. Silas scored a career-high 34 points in just 24 minutes of action versus Cardinal Stritch on Sunday as he made 11-of-17 field goals overall and six-of-nine shots from three-point range. The Austin, Texas native scored 22 points in just 25 minutes in the Huskies' narrow 66-63 loss at Bradley last Tuesday while hitting seven of his 11 field goal attempts and all six of his free throws. He added six rebounds in that game and totaled 10 for the week. In the two games, Silas shot 64.3 percent from the field (18-of-28) and 57.1 percent from three-point range (57.1 percent).
Free Throw Streak
NIU senior Xavier Silas has started the season a perfect 24-of-24 from the free throw line in three games and he is working on a string of 38 straight free throws made dating back to last year's penultimate game versus Toledo (March 4, 2010). Silas made his last nine free throws versus Toledo beginning with 31 seconds left in the first half. He then hit all five of his tries in the MAC Tournament first-round game at Eastern Michigan. This year, he went 12-of-12 from the line versus Northwestern and hit all six of his tries at Bradley and versus Stritch. The Northern Illinois record for consecutive free throws made in a season is 33 (by Todd Peterson in 2005-06) but there does not appear to be a record for consecutive free throws made in a career.
New Starters
Northern Illinois opened the Cardinal Stritch game with its first "new" starting line-up of 2010-11 as freshman Kyree Jones and sophomore Tony Nixon started the game in the backcourt. Jones started for the first time in his career and finished the contest with five points and a career-high three assists. Nixon started five games a year ago.
What Adjustment?
Jones was not the only freshman in the starting line-up last Sunday as Nate Rucker started his third straight game at forward. So far, Rucker has made the adjustment to college basketball look easy as the Huskies' 6-6, 245-pound rookie is averaging 9.3 points and seven rebounds per game through the first three games. He ranks tied for seventh in the MAC in rebounding and is fourth in the league in field goal percentage. Rucker recorded his first career double-double in his second career game as the Memphis native scored 14 points and led NIU with 10 rebounds at Bradley.
Charity Stripe Turnaround
A year ago, Northern Illinois shot just 64.6 percent from the free throw line (445-of-689) as eight of the 12 players with more than two free throw attempts on the season hit less than 60 percent from the line. In 2009-10, NIU ranked 290th in the country and 11th in the MAC in free throw percentage despite Xavier Silas' 81.1 percent mark which ranked fourth in the league. So far in 2010-11, the Huskies have turned that performance around. Not only is Silas one of the national leaders with a perfect 100 percent mark, Northern Illinois leads the MAC's team free throw rankings at 75 percent (54-of-72).
Silas Starts Strong
Northern Illinois senior Xavier Silas has picked up where he left off a year ago as he is averaging 27.0 points per game to lead the Mid-American Conference in the early-going. Silas ranked second in the MAC in 2009-10 with 19.7 points per game and was a preseason all-league pick this year. Silas has scored 25, 22 and 34 points in NIU's three games this year. Silas scored 25 or more points in six games a year ago, hit the 20-point mark 12 times and scored in double figures 22 times in 25 games played. He scored 493 points in 2009-10 despite missing five games due to a hand injury suffered in the season opener.
In addition to his free throw streak and perfect (24-of-24) mark this season, Silas made 159-of-196 free throws last year to rank fourth on the NIU charts for free throws made in a season and 10th in free throws attempted. His 81.1 shooting percentage from the free throw line last year ranks 12th on the single season list. Silas` top single game free throw shooting performance last year was a 15-for-15 effort at Ball State to set the NIU single game record. The 12-for-12 game at Northwestern tied for fifth on the top single game performances list.
Hall on the Boards
Huskie point guard Bryan Hall helped lead a dominating effort on the boards for Northern Illinois at Bradley with a career-best seven rebounds. Hallaveraged only 1.0 rebound per game a year ago. Northern Illinois out-rebounded the Braves by a 46-32 margin.
Nixon Steps Up
With NIU leading scorer Xavier Silas on the bench for 13 minutes in the first half at Bradley, sophomore Tony Nixon stepped up to make four-of-six field goals and score nine of his 11 points in the half to fill the scoring role for the Huskies. Nixon hit double figures for the fourth time in his career and tied his career high with three assists on the night.
Silas a Senior CLASS Candidate
Xavier Silas has been named one of just 30 candidates for the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for men's basketball. The award honors seniors playing Division I basketball who have demonstrated high achievement in the areas of community, classroom, character and competition throughout their collegiate careers.
New Faces
NIU's 2010-11 roster features six new names and the debut of a redshirt freshman. The Huskies added junior college transfers Tim Toler and Cameron Madlock along with freshmen Nate Rucker, Aksel Bolin and Kyree Jones, with non-scholarship player Tre Edwards the most recent addition. Redshirt freshman Antone Christian has seen his first collegiate action this year.
Full Roster
With forward Cameron Madlock set to return from a foot injury, Huskie head coach Ricardo Patton will have a full roster to work with against UMES. The 6-9, 215-pound forward sat out the Huskies' last two games after playing 14 minutes versus Northwestern. Meanwhile, Lee Fisher continues to see more time after missing most of the preseason with an ankle injury. Kyree Jones did not play in the preseason and Nate Rucker is still not at 100 percent after breaking his leg in a high school playoff game in Tennessee last year.
Near and Far
The Huskies' 2010-11 roster is made up of players from near and far with four in-state products - Lee Fisher, Bryan Hall, Tyler Storm and Tony Nixon - and five players from the neighboring states of Indiana (Kyree Jones, Tim Toler) and Wisconsin (Jeremy Landers, Cameron Madlock, Tre Edwards). At the other end of the spectrum are Aksel Bolin, from Asker, Norway, Texas native Xavier Silas and Colorado's Michael Patton.
Tennessee Ties
Northern Illinois' current roster includes a pair of players from Ricardo Patton's home state of Tennessee in freshman Antone Christian (Nashville) and Nate Rucker (Memphis). Patton is from the Nashville area, attended Belmont College in Tennessee and coached in the state. The Tennessee connection continues next year as one of two signees for 2011-12 is from the Volunteer state.
Tremendous Attendance
A crowd of 4,001 saw the Huskies tussle with Northwestern in the 2010-11 season opener, marking the largest basketball crowd at the NIU Convocation Center since 2005, when NIU and Kansas State played a 75-70 overtime game in front of 5,389.
Newest Huskies
Northern Illinois signed a pair of players for 2011-12 on Nov. 10. Zach Miller, a 5-9 guard from Glenbard East High School in Chicago, and DeAndre Barnette, a 6-4 wing from Liberty Tech in Jackson, Tenn., inked with the Huskies following successful junior seasons at their respective schools and equally as impressive summers. Miller helped lead the Rams to the Class 4A sectional final as a junior as he averaged 14.1 points, 3.1 steals and 7.2 assists per game. He was the DuPage Valley Conference Player of the Year. Barnette led Liberty Tech to the Tennessee Class 2A title game and was named to the all-tournament team at the state tourney.
Toler's Touch
Junior college transfer Tim Toler had an impressive debut as the 6-7, 270-pound forward made five-of-seven shots and totaled 12 points in 26 minutes of action versus Northwestern. Toler's touch around the basket is not a surprise, he made 37 percent of his threes at Danville Area C.C. and shot 77 percent from the line.
Challenging Slate
Northern Illinois will face six opponents that played in the 2010 postseason with games against NCAA Tournament participants Temple (Dec. 18), Missouri (Dec. 27) and Ohio (Feb. 5) along with National Invitation Tournament (NIT) teams Kent State (Feb. 12) and Northwestern. Akron earned a trip to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) last year.
It's About the Kids
On Oct. 29, the Huskie Men's Basketball team took part in one of its favorite community service activities of the year as a prime attraction of the "Kishwaukee YMCA Spooky Sports Halloween Party" held at the NIU Convocation Center. An estimated crowd of 4-5,000 people - children and their parents - attended the free event, during which the NIU basketball team was on the floor shooting with the kids and showing them some basic basketball skills. It's the second straight year that the men's basketball team has helped "host" the Halloween event, which also featured games, a haunted house and trick or treating stations.

I've long had difficulty teaching out of any kind of basal reading system. Right from the beginning of my career I had trouble seeing how these sets of readers were supposed to inspire, motivate or interest students in reading or the world.
Luckily, along the way, I've had administrators who supported me as I worked with the students in my classroom in a variety of ways, pulling out the textbooks when I wanted a common text for us to look at, but otherwise, leaving them on the shelf.
This same philosophy applies when it comes to information and and research. Publishing companies want to sell solutions. They want to sell pre packaged units and collections of books. They want to sell search access, collections of pre approved websites and libraries of online videos that have been watched by "experts." They want to give teachers scripts, assessments, worksheets and tables of outcomes.
Information that is neatly and cleanly packaged usually promotes only one point of view. Sets of books and websites and videos don't often help us to wonder, "who's voice am I not hearing in this?" Purchasing unit after unit of stuff doesn't give our students the ability to locate their own information, to evaluate it and share it with the class or a network of learners.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against buying resources to use in your classroom. Without them we have to reinvent the wheel and start over every single time we teach something. But consider these resources to be a starting point. Ask your students what points of view they are missing, whose voices they are hearing and whose they are not. Ask them to be critical readers and evaluate for bias. Help them to gain the skills they need to locate their own information and share it with others.
Having skills like these will help our students to be cautious, independent consumers of information with a global outlook.

This is what I do as per Rick Bayless. Use a white onion ( I know you said you don't like them and I don't eat them either) if you know how to dice them by cutting in half root to stem, lay flat on board, then cut layered sliced horizontally, then vertically then slice so total 3 directional cutting motions. You want a tiny dice. Put them in a strainer and wash in cold water. You could also just let them soak for a few minutes in a cold water bath. It rinses the offensive cysteine and I don't think you would mind them at all and it will balance the flavors for you. Or you could use a shallot minced finely.
You don't specify what you're going use the salsa for. But here are some things I'd try til I got a mix I liked (select a few that go best for your use): red bell pepper, seeded jalapeno, cilantro or parsley or mint, avocado, jicama, mango, pineapple, coconut flakes - you can tweak it to suit. Add a splash of a fruity vinegar or lime juice if needed.

I also found two problems with the graphics:
Murray's sprite looks kinda weird - his eyes look more like plusses (+) than eye sockets. Check out the anti-alias section of
this topic
on The Spriter's Resource, it'll really help you.
The shading on the bumper car makes no sense. It doesn't appear to have any depth at all, but rather a gradient that goes from red to darker red.
Oh, yeah, and the problem with way too much text at once in the opening "cut scene" is still there, but you already knew that. Keep up the good work!
i appreciate your constructive criticism and help
as far as the "to much text at the beginning" goes, i did that because those are the exact words from the game and that is the pace and flow from the original. if there are alot of people that complaint i will probably change it.
i think i can change the sprite for Murray, that shouldnt be a problem at all
but the bumper car sprite i would need some assistance on, i am not exactly sure how to go about doing it. i really need some help as far as the art goes anyway, if you are interested i would love to add you on as an artist on this project. i just feel so spread thin with this project and i really could use all of the help i can get.
Nevermind on the bumper car sprite, i think i understand what you mean
but i would still love to have some help on anything you can help with

"Dear Damon,
I am a client of Lifeguard Financial, started in January 16, 2009. The period of which debts were to be is a 36 month program. Total debt involved $28,382.00. Activation fee $4,257.30, maintenance fee is $49.00 per month. Each month the amount of $483.00 is withdrawn from my checking account. Back in December 2010 I was able to contact Lifeguard Financial spoke to a representative explained to her that a judgement was set on my the plaintiff a legal firm handling the debt account. The Lifeguard Financial representative informed me that have I consider filing bankruptcy, I told her bankruptcy this is why I went with Lifeguard Financial to prevent this. Then she tells me that due to my account type legal advice is not availble but we can enable one to represent you in your state. Cost of this is $350.00.
I was contacted by an attorney in Michigan once. I told him of my situation gave him information, he said he would contact the legal attorney and such. Well that was january tried several times to contact the local attorney no luck, tried several times to contact Lifeguard Financial no luck.
Contacted Noteworld Reporter on problem they tried to contact Lifeguard Financial no luck. Since january I have been searching on the net heavily, then found out that Lifeguard Financial is now a different company in New Jersey.
From all my research till now i have tried damn hard. I have been unemployed for over a year most of my unemploymeny check went to pay the monthly amount. My credit rating is shot, but I made sure there was enough to keep the Noteworld Reporter account active, just right after Noteworld Reporter withdrew the amount once I saw it posted on line I called them and had money returned to my account. I figure I do have an account and written obligation to Lifegu ard Financial yes I made the payment each month.
According to my contract once it gets posted by Noteworld reporter then legally the payment has been made. Now I'm at a loss I can't afford an attorney, I can't afford to do squat, but I have every letter, documents, every aspect of paper work since I became a client of Lifeguard and I mean every single piece of paper, telephone calls dates, times, etc.
According to my contract that for me to get out of the program would cost me. Todate I have debtor's which now I owe them a lot more due to interest charges etc..
Now with this judgement i have to figure out a way to get it handled, but just what I really don't know.
I'm out of ideas what to do is there anything you could suggest or some place to seek help ?
Hello Galen,
I am very sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation. Sadly, I hear many stories like yours every single day and it is very frustrating to see these scam programs ripping off consumers for millions of dollars. I wish that I could reach every consumer before they enroll into these rip off front loaded "debt relief" programs that do nothing but relieve you of what little money you have left. Sadly I know I can't reach everyone, they just spend so much money advertising their scams that it is very difficult to get the truth out to consumers.
I wish I could tell you that I could just pick up the phone and demand they return your money, but it appears that these scammers switched their name to SafeTrust Financial and then recently filed bankruptcy. Unfortunately the chances of you getting any of your money back is slim to none. I would encourage you however to at least file a claim in the hopes that there will be some money available to pay back the thousands of consumers that have been scammed.
The reason for the bankruptcy is stated as:
The reason for filing bankruptcy is, "In October of 2010, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued new rules that effectively rendered the Company's current business model unworkable. Furthermore, the Company has been suffering from consistent customer attrition, which the Company has been unable to counter due to a lack of resources to effectively market the Company's product to gain new customers."
Basically when the new law banning these companies from scamming consumers with their upfront fees, their business model was unworkable. This is because it was essentially a ponzi scheme. They were supporting older clients with the big upfront fees that they were charging newer clients. Once they couldn't do it anymore they folded.
Sadly, many consumers that fell for these scam front loaded debt settlement sales pitches are likely to find themselves in the same boat when the companies they hired finish looting the cash out of the corporation and then seeking bankruptcy protection.
You can find more information about the bankruptcy by reading this article by Steve Rhode.
Now, to address the even larger problem of what do you do now that you are 2 years behind on your debts and have no means to resolve them. The unfortunate answer is that you are likely going to have to file bankruptcy to wipe out the debt and start over with a clean slate.
Here is what I want you to do. Click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and schedule an appointment to meet, you will be able to get a free consultation. They can review your situation and let you know how bankruptcy would effect you and give you a pretty good idea about what will happen and what is possible both during and after your bankruptcy.
If after talking to the attorney, you find that bankruptcy is not a workable solution for you than please contact me through my website and I will look over your entire financial situation and see if there is some other possible option for you at this point.
Normally I charge a fee for my consultations because I provide honest and unbiased advice about exactly what you need to do, regardless of what it is. I am only paid by my client and am not financially incentivized to push you in one direction or another.
However, given your situation, I would be willing to waive the fee to help you out and then depending on your situation, we could work something out after the fact that would be fair, if there is something you can afford to do once we figure out the best solution.
Please first meet with the bankruptcy attorney and take good notes. Then if need be, you can contact me through my website and use the "Ask a Question" tab at the top to email me directly.
I am sorry my news was not better about Lifeguard and Safe Trust.

Carnival of souls
* I'm very excited to direct you to a lengthy interview with artist/musician/fanboy Brian Chippendale about his new book If 'n Oof, which I conducted for Robot 6. It's a terrific comic and Chippendale's an all-time great talker. (I've spoken with him before and it was a pleasure both times.)
* Related: CBR's Tim Callahan raves about If 'n Oof and its labelmate, CF's Powr Mastrs 3.
* Robot 666, Robot 6's horror-themed Halloween-week special, rolls on. Keep your eyes on that tag for lots of fun creepy stuff. To wit:
* Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard (and Tony Moore)'s The Walking Dead is going to be re-released in comic book form on a weekly basis starting with issue #1 in January. That seems like a wonderful idea to me, and the complaints you see about it in the comments seem totally wrongheaded, like saying the networks shouldn't syndicate series because it'd cannibalize DVD sales.
* The Walking Dead is also getting its own app through ComiXology. And don't forget, it's going to simultaneous print and digital release, too.
* Also from Robot 666: Don't miss Doppelganger from Tom Neely;
* In space no one can hear you giggle at Axe Cop's Halloween special;
* Dan Zettwoch takes you behind the scenes of one of those Christian haunted houses in his comic "Crossfader";
* and a first look at a new Mike Mignola Hellboy cover is a joy forever.
* The Tea Party: a sneaker stamping on a human face--for ever.
* This looks like a pretty interesting week for comics, with some major, unusual releases and some sturdy genre faves. Tom Spurgeon and Joe "Jog" McCulloch handicap the slate. Bonus points to Jog for some writing on the comics of Carol Swain for good measure.
* Paul Cornell will write a fill-in arc for Batman & Robin as the main creative team's run is delayed by three months. The comments get pretty heated--about Cornell, about the artist he's working with, about the team he's filling in for, about the Batman line's scheduling problems in general.
* Got dang, if The New York City Outlaws weren't a real series (and an anthology series at that!), Benjamin Marra would have been forced to invent it.
* Gary Numan is absolutely right: Replicas > The Pleasure Principle.
* Behold: "Derezzed" by Daft Punk, from Tron: Legacy. It sounds pretty good. It also sounds like "Juke Joint Jezebel" by KMFDM, which I suppose is another way of saying "it sounds pretty good." That said, I'm having a really, really hard time getting worked up for this completely conventional-looking Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, with its unimaginative orange-and-blue color palette and the world's least convincing CGI de-aged Jeff Bridges. But hey, at least it features Daft Punk as themselves. Also, between this and the Twilight movies, Michael Sheen clearly cannot get enough of playing sinister, scenery-chewing dandies; I can't get enough of him playing sinister, scenery-chewing dandies either, so there's that. (Via Rob Bricken.)
* I guess that Battlestar Galactica prequel thing set in the First Cylon War is now a series. Like everyone else in the world, I'm finding it hard to get all that fired up about Caprica, so the thought of another BSG prequel series doesn't light my world on fire. Then again, unlike everyone else in the world, I am over the moon for the BSG finale, so I'm certainly open to getting excited about that universe again, in theory.
* Tom Spurgeon reviews Aidan Koch's The Whale, echoing many of the things I said about it in my review, which of course means it's brilliant.
* Wait, Paul Hornschemeier wrote a Man-Thing story drawn by Mark Texieira? Well don't that beat all.
* Real Life Horror: Andrew Sullivan on the Omar Khadr case:
I don't know how anyone who cares about the integrity and moral standing of the United States can absorb the full details of this case and not be profoundly ashamed. To prosecute a child soldier, already nearly killed in battle, tortured and abused in custody, and to imprison him for this length of time and even now, convict him of charges for which there is next to no proof but his own coerced confessions...well, words fail.And just in case they don't, the extremely graphic and disturbing picture that accompanies the piece is worth at least a thousand words anyway.
* New Girl Talk album on the way, hooray hooray. I get major relisten value on Feed the Animals; it's better than Night Ripper.
* Lolita, Rear Window, Sunset Boulevard? Yep, sounds like a David Lynch-curated film festival to me. (Via The House Next Door.)
* Saving this for when I have an hour to kill: Jaime Hernandez and Gary Groth in conversation at SPX.
SPX 2010 - Spotlight - Jaime Hernandez from Small Press Expo on Vimeo.
* Finally, if you can spare the scratch, please go buy some comics from Alan David Doane so he can pay his rent. He's offering some nice-looking sets for really reasonable prices.

Victorian Star Cutout Carved Ivory Bead Necklace
Product Details
A fantastic and unusual carved ivory necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This wonderful piece is made of hand carved ivory beads that are particularly large in size. The beads graduate in size and have an interesting star cutout design. Each bead is hollow inside and magnificently carved with a cutout body and carved ends. The ivory beads are strung on simple, thick white thread and the necklace has a simple, yet secure screw clasp which is also made of carved ivory. A fabulous necklace, this bold piece would make a wonderful addition to any collection!
Measurements: The necklace measures approximately 21.5" long. The beads range in size from a little more than 1/2" in diameter being the smallest to 7/8" being the largest.
Condition: The overall condition of the necklace is excellent. There is some minor damage and chips to some of the carved beads which is not noticeable when the necklace is worn. The screw clasp is secure and in good working condition.

- Athletic Training
Welcome from the Program Director
Welcome to the Athletic Training Program at Saint Louis University.
The students and faculty of the program are advocates for the profession of athletic training and seek to live, study and work in the Jesuit tradition. Visit to SLU's tradition and mission page to get more information.
We are proud to be in the Doisy College of Health Sciences, where the Athletic Training Program is situated as a peer among highly regarded and accredited health professions programs. The shared resources and the interprofessional nature of SLU's Medical Center campus create a broad experience for our students. Visit the interprofessional education page to get more information.
I consider the academic and clinical experience of this program to be on par with other top Athletic Training Programs in the country. Evidence of the quality of this experience is our excellent first time pass rate on the Board of Certification Examination, and the successful job placement rate of our graduates. Visit our program outcomes page to get more information.
We gained accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education as a Graduate Professional program in 2010 and we have been awarded continuing accreditation through 2025. Four faculty members serve as the core faculty of our program. Highly regarded physicians and athletic trainers from the St. Louis area also serve as adjunct faculty and preceptors. Courses in gross anatomy, medical imaging, sports psychology and exercise physiology are taught by other highly respected faculty members at Saint Louis University. Visit to our clinical education page to get more information.
Our program also has a global reach. AT students at SLU can study up to two years in Madrid during the pre-professional phase of the program to gain an immersive international experience. International experiences in the professional phase of the program are also possible. SLU is also an institutional member of the prestigious World Federation of Athletic Training and Therapy.
Our program also serves as an advocate for appropriate health care and is engaged in the community. Supported by Saint Louis University Hospital, we have a staff member that provides athletic training services to two high schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis: St. Mary's High School and Bishop Dubourg High School. We have been awarded an Ethnic Diversity Enhancement Grant by the NATA and we also participate in an initiative with the St. Louis Rams and Athletico to provide athletic training services to the St. Louis Public Schools.
The program has hosted the Missouri Athletic Trainers' Association meeting twice in the last five years and also has hosted several other events promoting athletic training in the community. SLU AT faculty members appear regularly in local media to lend expertise in important issues.
The program is also engaged in national organizations. In 2012, the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) selected SLU to become the new home to the Journal of Athletic Training and the Athletic Training Education Journal. Their editorial offices relocated to the Allied Health Building at SLU and their staff became a part of the SLU AT program. Faculty members of the SLU AT program also serve in key roles for the NATA Executive Committee for Education, the BOC Standards Committee and as a CAATE accreditation site visitor.
I welcome your interest in the program. We are a freshmen entry program but we also accept transfers and post-baccaalaureate students into the program. Go to our admissions page to get more specific information about the program and applying for admission.
If you have any questions, please contact me at email@example.com or 314-977-8561.

Tis the upcoming season
Our winter hasn't been nearly as bad as yours continues to be, so I am willing this kind of weather on your behalf.
Lunch break
We all make trade-offs, and theirs is rather reasonable.
Dog days
Is yawning really contagious? We're about to find out.
My smirking Butternut
Shades of Daisy Hamilton are surfacing.
A view from the top of the ride
From happy happy joy joy to grumpy grumpy sad sad and back again. The roller coaster as metaphor.
The only shape that I know how to draw popped up in the backyard.
Princess in the garden
Doesn't everyone wear their princess costume while planting flowers and pulling weeds?
The fearless one
And then later that afternoon she taught herself to swim.
Fun in the sun
My kids have seen more rain in the last two days than in the entirety of the rest of their lives. Crossing our fingers for some dry hours tomorrow.
Simple pleasures
Soaking in the heat of early July, my favorite month of the year.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver – An American Saint
Filed under: Commentary, Environment, Health, Public Service, Science, cable, entreprenuer, television
"In the 1950's, the mentally retarded were among the most scorned, isolated and neglected groups in American Society. Mental retardation was viewed as a hopeless, shameful disease, and those afflicted with it were shunted from sight as soon as possible."1
What began as a summer camp at her Maryland farm in 1968, developed into the first Special Olympics which attracted 1,000 athletes from 26 states and Canada for competition.
The idea was born when a mother telephoned Eunice Kennedy Shriver and complained that she could not find a summer camp for her child. Mrs. Shriver recalled the telephone conversation this way in an interview with NPR: "I said: You don't have to talk about it anymore. You come here a month from today. I'll start my own camp. No charge to go into the camp, but you have to come and pick your kid up."
"She set out to change the world and to change us" her family said, when she died, "and she did that and more."
At the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghi,China, a crowd of 80,000 cheered and welcomed 7,000 athletes, a country with a history of severe discrimination against anyone born with disablities.
The program has now grown to three million athletes in 180 countries.
Eunice Kenndy Shriver (puni-Euni, her family nick name)died on August 11, 2009 at age 88.
Eunice, the middle child in a family of nine, grew up with a sister Rosemary, who was mildly retarted. She detested the practice of keeping people with mental disabilities sedentary lest they injure themselves, or of keeping their existence a secret.
"When the full judgement of the Kennedy legacy is made – including J.F.K.'s Peace Corp and Alliance for Progress, Robert Kennedy's passion for civil rights and Ted Kennedy's efforts on health care, workplace reform and refugees – the changes made by Eunice Shriver may well be seen as the most consequential." U.S. News and World Report said in its cover story of Nov. 15, 1993.
So, should Eunice Kennedy Shriver be considered for Sainthood? Consider this:
In the Catholic Church the formal process of sainthood involves a complicated process taking time, money, testimonies, and miracles, and the church follows a strict set of rules in the process.
First, to determine who qualifies, the Vatican looks to its Congregation for the "Causes of Saints". Typically, a would-be candidate's "cause" is presented to the local bishop by his or her admirers who persuade him that the life of the candidate was a model of holiness.
Once the applicant is approved as a candidate, an appointed postulator interviews those who knew the individual. Personal testimonies, letters, and writings of the candidate's are put together. A relater then sifts through this information and prepares a position paper. If the volumes of evidence prove a life of "heroic virtue", the person is given the title "venerable" by the Pope.
The next title, beatified (blessed), is attained if it can be proven that a miracle occurred after the death of the candidate, the result of someone praying to that person for help.
To finalize a canonization, it must be established that a second miracle occurred. (Martyrs are the exception. The pope can reduce their miracle requirement to one or waive it altogether.) Most often prayer requests are for a physical healing.
Verifying a miracle is considered the most difficult hurdle in the process. Just deciding what constitutes one causes debate. A life of heroic virtue is obviously easier to establish than a healing that results from prayers.
Editors note: I'd like to cast the first vote for her as "An American Saint."

A Brunswick County man is in the Harnett County Jail charged with sex crimes against a child.
William Rivenbark, 32, of Winnabow, is in custody under $200,000 bond. An incident report says Rivenbark is charged with sexual offense with a child, first degree sex offense and indecent liberties with a child.
Investigators say the crime happened in April or May of last year at the home of the victim in Cameron. They say Rivenbark is a family friend of the victim.
Wednesday night court records showed Rivenbark also had a pending felony charge for indecent liberties with a child with a court date earlier this week in Brunswick County. A Brunswick County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman says Rivenbark was in the Brunswick County Jail briefly before being moved to Harnett County to face the charges there.
The Department of Corrections website shows Rivenbark was sentenced to probation in 2004 for assault on a child.

My Experience with Chef Boutique
March 9, 2012 1 Comment
Today, me and Basma from 13cups went to Chef Boutique to take their Chinese Cooking class.
Chef Boutique offers different gourmet cooking classes; they've got Thai, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Sushi, Pasty, Spanish, and many more. Check this [link] for their March schedule. Prices range from KD 21-29 a course. You get to eat the dishes you make, so I think their prices are reasonable if you factor that in.
They provide you with individual prep tables for each participant, plus individual stoves and ovens too. All the food, ingredients, sauces, cutting boards, and cooking ware are pre-organized in advance for you.
The chef starts by showing you the preparation and cooking steps himself. At the end of each dish, you get to taste his dish for yourself.
After that, you go to your prep station, and start making your own dish. Our first dish was: Seafood Wontons with Capsicum Dressing. The bowl here has the finished Wonton filling, and the Wonton plates shown here belong to me and Basma. And I admit, hers look a lot better than mine
I only took a few pictures of our 3-course 3-hour session, mostly of the first dish we made, the Wontons. That's because we got really busy preparing and cooking, and our hands were messy with food and oils. But I managed to snap one single shot of our main dish: Steamed Scallion Ginger Hamour Fillets.
I must say the dishes we made all looked attractive, tasted great, and were easy to prepare and make. If you had shown me the pictures and told me that they were very easy to make, I probably wouldn't have believed you. But they really were easy, and needed very little time and effort in preparation and in cooking.
I had so much fun tonight, and I'm glad that Basma suggested we take this class. What we did tonight was a fresh change from our normal boring shopping mall\restaurant routine we usually do in Kuwait. This is something different, and its also lots of fun.
Chef Boutique is run my Mrs. Olga and her husband Mr. Victor, and is located in a big villa in Hitteen Area, South Surra, on the main road opposite Al-Salam. Here's the [link] to their site, Twitter [link], and Facebook [link]. You can also reach them on Tel.9907 8437(English) 9098 9856(Arabic).

A dark cove, wettened by lush waters can be found under Soco Falls. Adventurers thrive in this region which is located entirely on the Cherokee Indian Reservation in Western North Carolina.
(This link gives more information about attractions near and around the Cherokee Indian Reservation, please click here, http://www.aboutcherokee.com/attractions.html).
Two creeks flow over the ledges at Soco Falls. Soco Falls is easily accessed near the side of road on US 19, except for a few steep steps which may be difficult for the elderly and the very young.
Soco Falls is just one adventure for couples and friends who want to see a magnificent waterfall. The public is welcomed at this location. A viewing deck is present, and there are two falls that make up Soco Falls. Only one is pictured in this article.
(Pictured in this article is the taller of the two. A great site to access is http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/soco1.htm, it details further directions and information about Soco Falls).
Soco Falls is extraordinary because one has no idea they are stepping into a beautiful scene in nature.
Located next to a heavy traveled roadway, just one step onto the short trail leading to Soco Falls, then and only then is there a realization of this awesome wonder to come. The waters steady flow over the cliffs is easily heard, plus once on the trail, the forest scene is amazingly pleasing.
Nearby the falls are rhododendron, the blooms of the rhododendron are great to see during the June months in this Southern Appalahian region.
So much fun at Soco Falls, it is worth exploring!

General information about the group:
(For latest information posts please see below)
Churton Park Revegetation Group is sponsored by the Churton Park
Community Association, and supported by both Wellington City Council and
Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Current areas of activity and description are as follows:
1 Wingfield Reserve
The group members are undertaking the ecological restoration of a high profile area of Churton Park. Wingfield Reserve runs parallel to Middleton Road north from Wingfield Place for about 400 metres, and is very visible from Middleton Road, which is a main access route. The reserve contains one of the upper tributaries of the Porirua Stream. The site has been the focus of the group's efforts since 2004. Before work started the reserve and stream were not visible as they were hidden beneath a thick canopy of willow trees and choked with blackberry.The reserve has been radically transformed from a weedy, overgrown and inaccessible eyesore to a healthy, accessible bush fringed waterway for people to enjoy.
At the Wingfield Reserve site the group has:
Future work:
Plants becoming established at the south end
of the site adjacent to Wingfield Place Feb 2011
Same area July 2014
Same area July 2014
Same area July 2014
2 Stebbings Dam Right BankThis is a new area commenced in 2014. The area adjacent to the top of the spillway was planted out when the dam was built. However many of the plants did not survive. This small project was to tidy up the area to bring it back to comply with the original landscape plan. The group was supported by the Wellington Regional Council for this project. Planting was carried out on Arbor Day June 2014 assisted by a group of children from Churton Park School.
3 Lakewood Reserve at south end
Wellington City Council have been putting a lot of effort into tidying Lakewood reserve over recent years. Many of the large trees were felled, along with extensive areas of replanting. The group is working with WCC on this project. The plan is to get 500 plants into the ground in 2014 to extend the existing plantings.
There are two main areas. The first is to plant around the edges of the currently grassed areas in the south west corner, near to the bridge. The remaining area of grass will then be more easily mown.
The second area is to plant among the large number of flax plants that are dying due to a virus. In this area, because some of the existing shrubs are well established, some climax tree species will be used.
How you can help.
Working bees held throughout the year. During the planting season (May to September), there are regular planting days (usually once a month) which anyone can attend. New members are always welcome, as is the assistance of corporate groups (such as businesses, government departments, or community groups) that want to give a half or full day back to the community, and have a great experience at the same time.
You can contact the group as detailed below to volunteer or find out when work is next planned.

Revegetation Group
Planting now complete for 2015
Another successful planting season is now complete.
Special thanks to all who came and helped on the various sites or supported the Revegetation Group in other ways.
Wingfield Reserve
Additional plants sourced from the Jay St nursery were planted on the steep slope down from Wingfield Place to replace the plants that were lost over the very dry summer. These plants have been recently released, along with the plants on the Farm Track across the centre of the site.
Stebbings Dam Right abutment.
The plants in this location also suffered badly from the dry summer. The gaps were filled also with plants from Jay St.
Lakewood Reserve South end.
The big area which slopes down from the tennis court carpark was fully planted and subsequently mulched. We are hoping that this area will not suffer too much if we get another dry summer. The balance of the planting was in the Lions Seat block, where infilling was carried out among the previous years planting. Because this area is in a flat damp area the plants should survive well. All these areas have been subsequently released and mulched by a very enthusiastic and capable group from Contact Energy.
Programme for 2016
WCC have decided that the next area to be planted will be on both sides of the stream from the bridge downstream. The toetoe plants in this area are reaching the end of their lives, so the planting will be between the old plants. This will give some protection for the new plants. In addition there will be some infilling of existing areas and releasing the smaller plants.
Planting programme for 2015
All sessions commence at 1pm. Tools and gloves are provided.
This is to complete the flat area between the path and stream.
Lakewood Reserve Lions Seat Block
Saturday 15 August
This is a new area, being the slope down to the stream from the car park. WCC will cut over the sprayed weeds before we plant.

Please note that planting will take place on Saturday 16 August commencing at 1pm.Come along and lend a hand to help enhance the green heart of Churton Park.
Help Enhance the Green Heart of Churton Park- Lakewood Reserve
The Churton Park re-vegetation group is now working with WCC to help with the ongoing planting in this area. Planting and mulching afternoons at Lakewood Reserve are scheduled for Saturdays 26 July and 9 August, commencing at 1pm.
Come along and lend a hand! No experience required - only enthusiasm.
Meet at the Tennis Court carpark, off Lakewood Ave. Tools and gloves are available, but bring your own if possible.
For further information please contact John Morrison 477 1020 or email@example.com
Planting Programme for 2014
This area has become available as WCC are clearing holly and blackberry.
Saturday 30 August Wingfield Reserve on Wingfield Grove side.
WCC have allocated the group 500 plants to further extend planting in this area.
Saturday 9 August at 1pm Lakewood Reserve south end near to tennis courts.
This is to fill in gaps from last year and extend further north on the Farm Track in the centre of the site.
Saturday 28 June at 1pm Wingfield Reserve.
The planting days scheduled for this year are as follows:Thursday 5 June at 10am. Stebbings Dam at top of spillway on south side.
Plants supplied by GWRC. This planting area is to tidy up the landscaping carried out when the dam was built, as not many plants had survived.
As planting at Wingfield Reserve is nearing completion, WCC have invited us to move to another area to assist them in their activities.
Saturday 26 July at 1pm Lakewood Reserve south end, near to tennis courts.
Planting now complete for 2013
Thanks to all the volunteers who have contributed their time to this project. The site is looking great, and the accrss path is well cleared and easy to walk through.
There will be no more planting this season, so ignore the date given in the previous post. The next activity will be a site tidy up in September, with the date to be advised.
Next year the plantings will be from Wingfield Place, above the site, and also in the "Dell" on the south side of the start of Wingfield Place.
With three planting days, the volunteers have now planted 590 trees and shrubs. These are made up of 540 supplied by WCC with the balance being split up flax and toetoe plants. This now completes planting for this season. The areas worked on were the flat area at the north end by the Office Max fence, and along the edge of the Farm Track in the middle of the site. Now some gentle rain is required to get them well settled in.Unfortunately we had some vandalism in the newly planted area at the north end, when about 25 plants were pulled out and thrown over the fence. The plants were soon back in their former places, but some have been lost. The Johnsonville Police have been advised. If any other vandalism is noticed, please phone the Revegetation Group Coordinator, John Morrison, on 477 1020.
Planting schedule for 2013
Tools and gloves are provided.
The planting area is at the very north end of the site, next to Office Max.
Tjis year a total of 500 plants have been allocated to our group.The first planting day will be held on Saturday 29 June, starting at 1pm.
Subsequent planting days are planned for Saturday 20 July and Saturday 10 August.For more information please contact John Morrison, ph 477 1020
Successful 2012 planting season completed
This season 1000 more plants have been added to the total, which brings the total to date for the project to over 9000. The picture attached below shows part of the newly planted area on part of the very steep slope in the middle of the site.
Thanks is due to all our volunteers who have helped with this very rewarding project.
Mention must also be made of the two work groups who came from Contact Energy, and carried out a lot of site preparation and planting.
The site is now nearly full, but the clearance of more pest trees will open up other areas to be planted.
The main task now will be to keep grass and weeds, which grow very thickly on this site, away from the plants until they are established.
Site update
The plantings from winter 2011 have all done very well. The regular rain over the summer provided good growing conditions, with survival rates probably over 90% which is great considering the steep slopes planted.
During February the main track through the site was gravelled by workers from Dept of Corrections. The track is now suitable for walking in all weathers which will increase its use.
The attached image shows the path as well as the good growth of toetoe, flax and other plants.
Programme for Winter 2012
The final 2012 main planting afternoon will be from 1pm on Saturday 11 August.
A great start on this years planting has been make. On Saturday 29 June we put 300 plants in the ground in the higher areas of the site.
This was followed by some fine work by a group from Contact Energy on Friday 6 July. They cleared, planted and mulched the flat area below Middleton Road, as well as clearing part of the escarpment slope and planting the top and bottom of it. They planted an additional 200 plants. A photo of the workers is attached below.
We have been allocated 1000 plants by WCC for 2012, so we are now half way through the task.
Another group from Contact Energy is planned to come on Friday 27 July. .
Our site is now part of a research project by students from Victoria Universtiy. They are studying the growth rates of lemonwood, wineberry and cabbage trees. These have been tagged and measured, with their positions fixed by GPS. This project may continue for a few years, so you may see students taking various measurements.

A very popular Breckenridge wedding venue, Sapphire Point, is a dangerously beautiful location. Dangerous I say because it's a steep mountain road that offers tremendous views before arriving at the dirt path loop that allows the public to walk behind the ceremony location.
So, while it is a small, intimate outdoor setting, there are no guarantees that a loud family might not realize your event is happening. This can be prevented with some signs or someone monitoring those entering the trail.
Dangerous because if it rains, there is no covered structure to act as a back up. The only immediate shelter is the restroom at the trail entrance.
Simply wait out the storm, be patient and once the storm has passed, you carry on with your plans of an outdoor wedding overlooking Lake Dillon. Storms in the high country are usually fast-moving.
Contact me to learn more about how to determine your venue, the vendors and details.

I am dispatching a few mails (mainly order confirmations) from a webshop using a php mail class. The mails are sent via a local Exchange/SMTP server.
In the majority of cases this works fine and customers receive HTML mails with PDF attachments. But in some cases customers complain about not receiving any mails at all.
MS Exchange informs about mails rejected by several servers - all with the same error message:
500 Line limit exceeded
Does the problem derive from my mails / mail class or is it a server setting? What can I do to avoid it?

Local Area
NORTH NIBLEY, a parish in the hundred of Upper Berkeley, in the county of Gloucestershire, between Wotton-under-Edge and Dursley on the edge of the Cotswolds. The Tyndale Monument is visible from many miles away and is a useful landmark for anyone approaching the village from North, South or West. North Nibley has a thriving Church of England Primary school. The village is of considerable antiquity, and was formerly famed for the manufacture of woollen cloth.
The last battle between private armies fought on English soil was at Nibley Green on 20th March, 1469/70 between William, Lord Berkeley, and Thomas, Lord Lisle with a combined force of more than 1,000 men. The village is famously associated with William Tyndale, who translated The Bible into English.

An Evening with Jackson Browne
Presented by Hennepin Theatre Trust
State Theatre
Fri, July 18, 2014 at 8:00pm
$57.50 to $67.50
A limited number of Gold Circle tickets are available for $104.00.
Jackson Browne, the Grammy-nominated musician and humanitarian, brings his expressive music to the State Theatre in a new acoustic tour. Playing guitar and piano, he will perform two full sets of his beloved songs, known for their emotion, honesty and politics.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Late For The Sky," originally released in September 1974, the album has been re-mastered and will be released later this year on 180gram vinyl (standard 33 1/3 RPM), all digital platforms, and also, on CD in a new eco-digipak in a partnership between Rhino Records and Inside Recordings. Jackson will also release a new studio album, the 13th of his career.
Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007. Beyond his music, he is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org.
Browne began his music career in the folk clubs of 1960s California. He was highly influential in the 1970s with his introspective, personal lyrics and laid-back folk-rock sound. His albums Solo Acoustic Vol. 1 and Solo Acoustic Vol. 2 both earned Grammy nominations with Rolling Stone giving Vol. 2 four stars. Music critic Anthony DeCurtis wrote, "Between songs, Browne speaks about his life and music with moving candor…this is Browne at his best, engaging his audience, his own experiences and the world around him, all in songs that will not lose their resonance any time soon."

BBC News app users today got a surprising update when a test by the U.K. public broadcaster accidentally sent an amusing "Game of Thrones"-related push notification through the service.
The test said: "Push sucks! Pull blows! BREAKING NEWS No nudity in latest episode of Game of Thrones!!! MORE BREAKING NEWS IIIIIII like testing." The bottom of the message added: "This is a breaking news story and the BBC News app will bring you updates as soon as they are available." The same message was sent again soon after.
Some thought the service had been hacked, but The BBC confirmed it hadn't and has since apologized via its BBC News feed on Twitter late Wednesday saying: "We apologize for previous two test push notifications, which were sent in error to BBC News app subscribers."

Apple's got a hardware fix to iPhone 4 antenna problem
Aren't you a bit tired by now of all the hoopla about iPhone 4 antenna problems?
Me? No way. It's a real fun to watch Apple's arrogance taken down a notch, but this antenna debacle.
It was fun even when only us, tech geeks, were talking about it. And when Apple had the gall to try to blame us for holding it wrong way, or dupe us with a story about how the only problem iPhone 4 had was the faulty bar counting formula…
Now that this iPhone 4 antenna fiasco exploded into the mainstream, is all over late night comedy shows, and grandmas are calling their kids to inquire about the reception on their iPhone, Apple is better to come up with a fix. Pronto.
We will know for sure of whether they have it or not tomorrow, when Apple has a surprise iPhone 4 press conference. But it looks like they do have a hardware fix for iPhone 4 antenna issues in the works.
At least that's what Rodman Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar is telling us. According to his contacts at iPhone manufacturing partners:
Apple has created "a design fix for the iPhone 4 that more adequately insulates the transceiver"…Apple has told its manufacturers to alter the iPhone production process to include an internal component that will insulate the defective antenna connection that has disrupted the phone's signal reception… This internal bumper will give Apple a non-cosmetic solution and will presumably avoid the need to change the appearance of the phone.
Woop-de-do. It's really good to hear that you won't have to hold your iPhone 4 the right way, if you buy it later.
Now the question is what will Apple do with those millions of iPhone 4s that they already sold.
Total iPhone 4 recall doesn't seem likely, and is not needed. But some gift vouchers and free bumper offers to all current iPhone 4 owners will be a smart move. As will the free exchange/fix offer to those clients who feel unhappy enough to go through all the trouble.
