Also Bingham was trying to let the kid score at the end so they could get the ball back with a chance to score and get the 2 point conv for the tie. Smart play by the alta kid to down it at the 1.

markymark.... sorry, I was not really trying to 'judge' the Bingham TE. I was just trying to see if something was wrong. Apparently there was something wrong. I did not mean to offend your son like that. I am sure he is a great kid. I wish him luck.

Bottom line with the Miners is they really need to solve the issue at QB and quickly. That whole rotating QB's every play is not a formula for success, just as BYU. They either need to stay with Stout and work on his decision making when throwing the ball, or go with Bowles and alter the offense to allow him to run, which is what he does best. But do one or the other. This isn't 3 years ago when you had Cantwell that could come in and run and pick up the first downs every so often. Neither have that type of talent. Pick one and stick with him.

HSFAN, I can only hope that my son is as good as this kid and get to choose whatever school he wants to go to on a full ride. I had to walk on and earn my scholarship at the U, not the easiest way. But my oldest is only 5 so i have a long way to wait for that. How is your boy doing on the debate team?

No one would take something that was not meant to be personal, so personally.... .well unless they are related. I am glad he gets to choose whatever school he wants to go on a full ride. That is so cool. Once again, good luck to your brother/son/nephew/cousin.

If the Bingham TE was poked in the eye and could not see the ball, why would the coaches leave him in the game? Maybe for blocking, but why throw to him. If you can only see out of one eye, it really messes with the depth perception. Poor coaching if they left him in. They have 80 kids on the sidelines, I am sure someone could have gone in.

I agree with Bench. IF (and that's a big if, because I was at the game, and
have since watched it on TV, and there is no sign of him wincing or squinting on
a close up in the second quarter after making a reception) the #9 TE got poked
in the eye, then the coaches shouldn't be calling plays for him. Unless, of
course, he wasn't able to see and didn't tell the coaches, which would
be an ego thing for him, putting his own desire to make plays in a big game
before the good of the team.
I think it's more likely that he had a bad game. It happens, even to players with their choice of D1 schools. I'm sure he's a good player, but several of those throws that he missed hit him in the hands and were well placed by the QB. My brother had a bad game, too, which would have been much harder to swollow if his team had lost. But they didn't. Go Hawks!

I was giving you some the info that was going on, one of my best friends is a coach at bingham and thats what he told me. I have never met the shultz kid, I just think its funny how people blast a kid and call him all hype when they don't really know whats going on. I'm sure that him at 50% is better than the back up. That is probably why they left him in. When you call a play all 4 guys go out in a route. I guess its there fault that alta left the tight end wide open. Lucky for alta they did. The plays don't work if you keep the TE in to block. But I'm explaining myself to guys that think Bingham ran the same play on the whole drive at the end too.

Okay, so he didn't tell the QB he couldn't see. And I'm fairly sure, without any personal knowledge to back it up, that a school as large and talented as Bingham could manage to produce a backup TE who could perform better as a backup than a blind starter. He missed some balls! It's okay! Everyone does! I'm sure he'll still have a great season.

ProudBigBrother. Give it up...markymark is just defending his son. If they had
debate team and chess team comment boards, I would get on to defend my son as
After all markymark is pushing the hype. Just look at the Bingham Miners Season Preview 2012 comments. He said "A ton of there reads have the TE as the first target. I guess if they don't get open just blame the system. This kid makes holt look like a little leaguer." Austin Holt plays for BYU and is pretty good. Saying a HS kids makes him look like a little leaguer is hype.
By the way, my son makes Bobby Fischer look like he is just learning to play chess.

Dancing on the Edge : Season 1
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The story has ample pulling power. But the music is its driving force--all day and all of the night.
It's a lusciously shot and brilliantly written and acted account of how the British aristocracy and progressives in high society fell in love with what can best be described as the tantalizing edginess of jazz music and the sense of exploration and wonder it brought to those who heard it even though society at the time was not ready to accept what it all implied.
Many of the people we meet in the cast are good guys, which gives Dancing a hopeful tone, even when the odds go the other way. We want the folks who deserve it to win, and so does the show.
Dancing is so carefully curated with period detail that it is sometimes rendered inert, especially in this bloated premiere. But it's worth sticking around for the remaining four parts to enjoy the still-fresh music and the agile performance by Matthew Goode as a shady journalist. [18 Oct 2013, p.61]
Though the gorgeous production starts out slowly and has its pompous moments, it's ultimately worth your time.
There's some lovely Jazz Age music (by Adrian Johnston), charismatic performances and a story worth telling in Starz's evocative but languorous five-part miniseries.
While Dancing On the Edge features what should be a compelling story, acted by a top-notch cast underscored by a terrific jazz soundtrack, it's not quite as riveting as I expected.
While the atmospherics are great and the cast is impressive, the weight of the film is too much for the slender premise.
The script, by director Stephen Poliakoff, who also directs, has its good parts, but every few minutes, the quality is undone by characters announcing things to advance the plot, as opposed to dramatizing events.
Dancing [isn't] without elegant moments. It's just that in the slow waltz of a miniseries that envelops them, someone forget to hone its edge.
The only times Dancing On The Edge doesn't move like molasses are during the brief moments of excitement or pleasure.
There is no edge to Dancing on Edge, a drama sunk by its pretensions--one, to be sure, that does come clanking to life somewhat in a madly melodramatic final episode. A long wait, for little.

The Indigo Girls released an album on February 17, 2004, called All That We Let In.
Emily's first film score can be found in 2004's short film, One Weekend A Month.
She co-founded The Flying Biscuit Cafe, which is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Emily is in a long-term relationship with Leslie Zweben.
Emily is a wine collector.
Emily took classical guitar lessons for one year when she was twelve years old.
Emily and Amy Ray (The Indigo Girls) were the inspiration for the film Chasing Indigo.
Emily co-owns a restaurant in Decatur, Georgia by the name of Watershed.
Emily and her father, Don Saliers, have released a book entitled "A Song to Sing, A Life to Live: Reflections on Music as Spiritual Practice" in October 2004.
Emily is one half of the singing/songwriting duo, the Indigo Girls.
Emily: (About "Least Complicated") I was thinking about my little boyfriend in sixth grade, Danny. chuckles He was so cute, and I went to Woolworth's and I bought him a ring with my allowance. And, uh, as soon as I gave it to him, I knew it wasn't the cool thing to do. And that was just the beginning of the rest of my life!
Emily: You have to laugh at yourself, because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't.
Emily: I always find songs difficult to write. They're all emotional and during the writing process for me I go around feeling like an open wound trying to bring things to the surface. The songs that most come to mind for me personally are "Deconstruction" and "Our Deliverance." We've been playing "Our Deliverance" live a lot and wanting peace and bringing everyone closer together. And without taking up the whole page to articulate it, that song is very poignant to me.
Emily: (Before performing her song "Virginia Woolf") We're gonna do a song I wrote for Virginia Woolf. I wrote papers about her in college, but I didn't know what I was talking about. laughs
Emily: (After being asked if she wants to be known for activism or music) It doesn't matter to me how we are known as long as we can do the work that we want to do, but it has changed people's perceptions of us, I think. Not many musicians in the USA are politically or socially active, but it is just part of who we are. Our music and activist work are married. We've used our music and shows to provide education and information and if people are interested in it and want to take part, that's great.

This summer when I signed up for the Adult Summer Reading Program, I used Mystery Maven as my User ID. I chose this because nothing makes me happier than to recommend a book or series in the mystery genre to people.

She writes a wonderfully complex yet lyrical series of mysteries featuring Chief Inspector Gamache of the Surete du Quebec. So please do yourself a favor and check out one of her eight award-winning books.

It'll get worse under Obama's EPA. Maybe Penn will wake up and vote for someone that won't kill the coal industry. It'll also cost higher utility prices. I guess we can start exporting more coal to China. Sometimes I wonder who the capitalist are and who are the socialist.

I use it in my dining room under my Ethan Allen furniture and I have received so any compliments on the rug . Ethan Allen wanted 5 times the $ for a comparable rug from them. Its very rich and vibrant in color and in 2 years has not faded at all. Definately buy the padded underpad for your hardwood floors. It really gives the rug a lift.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. employers posted fewer job openings in December and hiring slowed, adding to evidence that the job market weakened that month.
Still, the number of available jobs remained near a 5{-year high. The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings slipped 1 percent to 3.99 million in December, from 4.03 million in the previous month. November's total was the first time that available jobs had topped 4 million since March 2008.
Total hiring fell to 4.4 million from 4.5 million in November, according to Tuesday's report. While job openings are mostly back to pre-recession levels, hiring is below the roughly 5 million a month that's typical for a healthy market.
Job gains slowed in January for the second straight month, according to last week's monthly employment report. That has raised concerns that the economy's momentum has stalled after healthy growth at the end of last year. January's report showed that employers added just 113,000 jobs, up from December's scant 75,000. Both months were far below average gains of 194,000 a month last year.
Most economists have partly blamed unseasonably cold weather for the slowdown. But there were also some positive signs in last week's figures. The unemployment rate fell to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent.
The January employment report showed net job gains, which is the number of people hired minus those who were laid off, quit or retired.
Tuesday's report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, provides more details. It shows the overall number of people hired each month, rather than just the net gain.
Total hiring in December was the weakest in six months, according to the JOLTS report.
It's getting a little easier to find a job, though the market remains competitive. There were 2.6 unemployed people, on average, for each available job in December. That's much better than the 6.7 unemployed for each job in July 2009, one month after the recession ended.
But the ratio is roughly 2 to 1 in a healthy economy.

Crete, eh? Guess that would make him a Cretin.
People get crazier everyday...
Feel the love.
Maybe every child should also deserve a parachute.
Best idea for a column ever. Keep it going.
Why don't you link to stories like these?
Oh yeah, because it would undermine your stupid pet issue.
"John Hogan, 33, is on trial in Crete for the death of his son Liam, who sustained head injuries."
This sentence couldn't be more obtuse if it tried. The dead son 'sustained' head injuries? Or the dad sustained head injuries? Or the son had previously sustained head injuries prior to his death? I can't figure out what happened here.
You would have a point, w7ngman, if I hadn't have linked to that story back in September of 2007:
But thanks for playing Slog, w7ngman, and we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
Dan widda' buuuurnn!
Right on @6
I think we should start our own "Every child deserves not to be used as a political pawn to further the Gay Agenda" postings whenever Dan continues to insist on spewing this bullshit.
Get over yourself Dan. You aren't doing your community any favors.
I'm sure you object just as vehemently every time the religious right--and the Washington State Supreme Court--uses children as rhetorical pawns when advancing the Straight Supremacist Agenda, Reality Check. So please share the links that will direct us to your passionate comments on, say, the Concerned Women for America's website, or the American Family Association's message boards, etc., and feel free to send me a PDF of the letter you sent to the Washington State Supreme Court after they issued their every-child-deserves-a-mother-and-father ruling against gay marriage. I'd also like to read the letter you wrote to Mitt Romney after he scrounged up a few votes by stating that children are better off with dead parents than gay parents.
I was asking why you didn't link to more stories *like* that one.
Because there's a *shortage* of stories *like* that one, w7ngman.
But I do link to stories about bad, bad homos, wzngman, when I spot 'em in the news. There simply aren't as many stories about gay people murdering their children out there because, as I point out in that post I linked to above, gay people are less likely to have kids. And when we do have kids, we're less likely to have unwanted kids or unplanned kids, which makes a huge difference. But I do link to gays behaving badly. Like this item from October:
...and this one last week:
Ok, point taken, but the "shortage" of stories is, I'm sure, just a consequence of there being a "shortage" of gay parents. Instead of 35 heteros being bad stories, what would actually be compelling is some per capita abuse rates among hetero vs. homo parents.
I guess what I'm getting at is:
a) you're preaching to the choir
b) there are probably more effective ways of going about this. If Mitt Romney says that gays are not fit to be parents, then no amount of "but heteros are bad, too" is going to logically challenge that assertion. The only way to do so directly is to point out stories of gays who *are* fit to be parents. If you had posted 35 of those instead of 35 of these, I think you would have made a bigger impact on this issue.
Of course, Mitt *is* just pandering, and I have a feeling his base doesn't read the Slog.
#6: that shit is from 2005, but Dan's Daddy Defenestrator story is hot off the presses.
Maybe you should start a new batch of posts for Every child deserves decent childcare.... you know, like the poor 2 1/2 year old boy in Hawaii that was just thrown off the highway by his babysitter. Gay people need babysitters, too. Maybe you should crack down on those crazies

Damned Ole Opry
Freddie Hart's life story would make for a decent country song all on its own. He was one of 15 children born to a Lochapoka, Alabama, sharecropper, and his first guitar was supposedly constructed from a cigar box and wire. At age 12 Hart was packed off to a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Four years later he fibbed about his age and enlisted in the Marines, seeing duty in World War II. After returning stateside Hart chased down Hank Williams in Nashville and became a roadie for the country legend. In 1950 he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he met Lefty Frizzell and began playing in his band, the Western Cherokees. Hart eventually set off on his own and recorded a slew of hits in the Sixties and Seventies, mostly country love songs such as "Easy Loving" and "My Hang Up Is You."
On an early-May Saturday evening, Hart is in Sandstone, Minnesota (pop: 2,057), an hour and a half north of the Twin Cities, performing at the Midwest Country Music Theater. The country crooner is closing in on 70 years old. Hart's hearing is not what it used to be and his face shows the cracks of age, but his full head of hair remains defiantly red.
"I've had 43 albums," Hart says backstage before the show in his pomade-thick Alabama drawl. "I've been real busy. Everybody's opened their hearts to me. They always have."
Hart dresses the role of the honky-tonk heartthrob. Over a purple button-down shirt he wears a bolo tie and a beaded, tasseled buckskin jacket. The crowning touch is a massive rhinestone-studded belt with a heart-shaped buckle that reads "Texas." The ornament wouldn't look out of place on a title-holding professional wrestler. It was a present from Nudie Cohen, the legendary designer who has clothed everyone from Hank Williams to Mick Jagger. "I've worn this belt all over the world," Hart drawls.
The Midwest Country Music Theater is an oasis for honky-tonk heroes, like Freddie Hart, who nowadays couldn't get so much as a cool drink of water from modern country radio and the Pooh-Bahs on Nashville's Music Row. They are refugees from a lost era of Friday-night barn dances and kinfolk paying weekly homage at the radio altar of the Grand Ole Opry. A time when heartfelt sentiment supposedly counted more than unit sales in the 18-to-34 demographic.
Unlike We Fest, Minnesota's annual countrypalooza in Detroit Lakes, here there are no sexy starlets singing industrial-strength power ballads whose only relation to country music is the cowboy boots. Nor are there football fields full of pickup trucks to cart suburban office workers to and fro. The Midwest Country Music Theater relies on a humbler blend of old-time country music and retirees making the drive up from the Twin Cities or down from Duluth.
Since opening in 1997 the modest 300-seat former movie theater has become a routine stop for such Grand Ole Opry pioneers as Jean Shepard, Bill Anderson, and Kitty Wells. The theater also attracts a large number of acts whose greatest claim to notoriety lies in their family name. Tommy Cash (younger brother of Johnny) and Jett Williams (born five days after her daddy Hank's death), have both played to enthusiastic crowds in Sandstone. Nostalgia for the (perhaps apocryphal) good old days of country music is as important at the Midwest Country Theater as the actual musical chops of the performers. The venue toes a precarious line between rescuing lost talent that mainstream country has put out to pasture, and enabling performers who would have done better to hang up their spurs long ago.
Tonight's bill is a mixture of faded hillbilly stardust and fame by association. Opening for Hart is David Frizzell, the younger brother of Lefty. In his teens David left home to perform with his brother's band. He has recorded albums entitled David Frizzell Sings Lefty's Greatest Hits and Carryin' on the Family Name, and is writing a biography of his brother. Frizzell the younger has also enjoyed success in his own right. In the 1970s he teamed up with Shelly West (daughter of Dottie) to record a series of chart-hopping duets, most notably "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma." And in 1982 he achieved a kind of country-music immortality with the No. 1 hit "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home."
With its faded yellow walls and musty stage curtain, the Midwest Country Music Theater could probably benefit from an interior designer with a few grape skins between the teeth. There are no dressing rooms and just one toilet apiece for men and women. A running joke is that the raffle held at each show is for first dibs on the bathroom. (Winners actually win tickets to upcoming showcases.) When country diva Connie Smith played here one time, she had to change clothes in what used to be the projection booth.
After performing, the musicians hang around signing autographs and posing for pictures. In between the afternoon and evening shows, fans and musicians often rub elbows while dining on the down-home American fare at Maggie's Colonial Café up the street. The casual meetin' and greetin' is outstate Minnesota's equivalent of Nashville's much-ballyhooed Fan Fair, the annual gathering at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds where workaday proles can mix with country-radio royalty.
As David Frizzell and his four-piece band take the stage to open the show, Hart settles into a folding chair just offstage. To Hart's left is what's jokingly referred to as the "Wanda Jackson mirror." It was installed after the rockabilly heroine fretted over not being able to check her appearance before taking the stage.
Frizzell's act is equal parts nostalgia trip, good-ol'-boy shtick, and meat-and-potatoes country music. He opens the set with a freshly penned ode to his country-music forefathers: Hank, Lefty, and Jimmie Rodgers. This is followed by "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" and a rollicking boot-stomper entitled "You've Just Been Robbed by Jesse James."
Frizzell then pauses to work the mostly gray-haired crowd. He points out a woman in the front row named Cindy Yale, who has traveled from Pennsylvania just to see tonight's show. "That's country people right there for you," Frizzell says, nodding approvingly. Yale wears a knit hat adorned with pictures of Frizzell. This is her 167th time seeing him play during the past two decades.
Frizzell is hoping to inspire a similar (if less fanatical) loyalty among the other patrons. He implores the audience to take full advantage of his merchandise table. "I need the money, and my three ex-wives--they really need the money," he quips. Then he tells the crowd that he was going to do his Dolly Parton impersonation for them, but he "fell out of the bus and tripped and broke both watermelons." Laughs abound. The audience is happy to settle for his imitation of Johnny Cash.
Frizzell and the band work their way through a passel of Lefty's hits, as well as numerous originals, before closing with an epic version of "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home."
Lefty's younger brother grins at Freddie Hart as he exits the stage, announcing of himself: "Frizzell has left the building."
Booking talent that will likely only land in a newspaper on the obituary page is not, first and foremost, a profitable endeavor. But then everything about the Midwest Country Music Theater, from its location to its clientele, suggests the kind of disregard for modern commerce that is characteristic of the American dreamer in his native habitat.
Joe Jensen grew up on a western Wisconsin farm in the 1950s listening to country music on the barn radio. Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, and Lefty Frizzell were among his honky-tonk idols. "When I was a kid I would just stop anything if I knew Lefty was going to be on the television," Jensen recalls. "I wouldn't go down and milk the cows until after Lefty Frizzell was on."
Jensen is a soft-spoken man with a retiring manner. But buried beneath his low-key persona lies an obsessive hankering to be involved in country music--despite his own lack of musical ability.
"Can't play and can't sing," is how Jensen puts it. "I just wanted to be a part of it." As far back as the mid-Eighties he began brainstorming ideas on how to jump-start a local version of the Grand Ole Opry. "He was a pain to live with some of those years because he wanted it so bad," says his wife Kathy.
In the early Nineties, the Jensens began filming local country acts such as Big John Voit's Plum Country Swing Band and the Sharon Lee Band in a slapdash studio in the back of their television repair shop at the intersection of 42nd Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. These amateur videos eventually became fodder for a television show, Late Night Review, which aired in the Twin Cities from 1992 to 1993.
Soon Joe and Kathy were booking their own country shows at a hodgepodge of Minnesota venues that included a Days Inn in Brooklyn Center and Hinckley High School--bringing a little bit of Branson back home. In 1996 they brought former Opry star Kitty Wells to the now-defunct Belrae Ballroom.
But without a regular performance space the shows lagged in attendance--and hemorrhaged money. After several years of searching for an affordable, permanent home, Joe discovered the Vogue Theater, a 77-year-old movie house in Sandstone. "Boy, did I get excited," he recalls.
That initial giddiness was soon deflated by the realities of the contemporary country-music market. For the grand opening of the Midwest Country Music Theater the Jensens dipped into their bank account and booked two marquee-worthy country stars from the past. Connie Smith had a string of hits in the Sixties and Seventies and has put out more than 30 albums. Dave Dudley hit paydirt in 1963 with "Six Days on the Road," and for a time was revered as a kind of patron saint of truck drivers. Yet between the two acts performing four shows each, the new venue in Sandstone drew a total of just 250 people by Joe's recollection.
"I was terribly depressed," he recalls, "but I said, 'We went this far; we can't stop now.'" In the wake of the grand-opening debacle, the Jensens limited themselves to local acts and worked on building up a customer base for the new venue. "Then I fixed TVs all night to pay people," Joe notes.
Slowly the theater began to forge a reputation among both fans and performers. Nashville acts, largely from a bygone era, began to make the trek north. Connie Smith, despite the inauspicious beginning, has been back several times, as have country greats like Hank Thompson and Bobby Bare. In 1998 the Jensens began broadcasting Great Moments in Midwestern Country Music on public-access television, featuring excerpts from the concerts. (The show airs 9:30 p.m. Saturdays on Channel 6 in the Twin Cities.) Last year they also started a radio show that is now heard on a half-dozen stations across the state. Kathy handles the booking, Joe deals with the television and radio, and their son Jeff is responsible for the sound. When a new landlord threatened to double the rent on Joe's Minneapolis TV-repair shop in January of last year, he and Kathy took the final plunge and uprooted the shop and their home to Hinckley, a few miles from the theater.
Big John Voit can bear witness to the Jensens' struggles since the early days shooting video in the back of their shop. "They've taken a bunch of beatings," says Voit, who has been performing country music and Texas swing since the Fifties and plays at the theater every few months. "A bunch of beatings. And I have to pat Joe and Kathy on the back for that, because 99 percent of folks you and I know would have quit long ago."
Voit sees Midwest Country as a humble riposte to a commercial market that has largely ignored his brand of music. "You can't turn on the radio and get it anymore, so we're giving it to them," he says.
"I'm not really sitting here trying to make something real big," Joe Jensen maintains. "It will be a little theater in Sandstsone. That's what it will always be."
Retired to his tour bus after performing, David Frizzell is suspended between the nostalgia that propels Midwest Country and his own continued hankering for commercial recognition. His blow-dried, open-collar look of the Eighties has been replaced with a grittier persona more Johnny Cash than Ronnie Milsap. At 59, Frizzell has a scraggly beard that is flecked with gray. "It's amazing that I got this old and am still enjoying this," he says with an impish grin.
Frizzell's has a new album out, David Frizzell 2001, and it has received encouraging reviews in a handful of daily newspapers. "This is the most excitement I've had for any record since 'Wino,'" he says cheerfully. In fact the album contains an updated version of "Wino," an indication that Frizzell's past looms at least as large as the present in any potential commercial revival. Another sign of his continued ties to the past is the blanket draped over the couch where Frizzell sits. It bears a replica of the statue honoring Lefty, who died in 1975 from an alcohol-poisoned liver, in his hometown of Corsicana, Texas. All of which, it must be said, is more than a little bit country.
As if on cue, back in the theater Freddie Hart introduces his next tune: "Here's a song called 'Lefty Frizzell.'" It's a banal piece of hagiography with lines such as "He's in the hall of fame now and that's where he belongs/He'll always be remembered in spirit and in song."
Hart is having a tough go of it this evening. All the rhinestone-studded belts and beaded buckskin jackets in the world can't hide the fact that he's fighting seven decades of living. Earlier in the evening Hart forgot the words to one song and the proceedings ground to a halt. Now he's struggling to get the vocal cords humming. "I'm getting a little hoarse," Hart says mournfully. "I don't know why I got that way."
Despite the difficulties, he soldiers on through chestnuts such as "Hank Williams's Guitar" and "Easy Loving." At times, with his eyes shut and his face scrunched up from exertion, Hart summons the silky baritone of his youth. He sprinkles the performance with mildly ribald jokes and remembrances of country legends past ("Hank Williams was weird," Hart claims several times, an understatement he declines to illuminate.)
The show is a melancholy affair. "They don't play us much anymore," Hart says at one point, "but I've had a beautiful life."
On the final song, "Loose Talk," a Hart-penned number that was most recently revived by John Prine, he jumps out in front of the band and they have to pick up the tempo to keep the song from collapsing. Hart's voice fades out abruptly at the end of each verse, as if he's out of breath. Despite the missteps, or perhaps because of them, the audience rewards him with an enthusiastic standing ovation.
"I feel kind of ashamed for not being able to sing like I ought to," Hart says before leaving the stage. The emcee, Dick Driscoll, comes to the microphone and implores Hart to sing one more song. "We don't care what it sounds like to you, Freddie. It's gonna sound beautiful to us."
Finally, with David Frizzell at his side, Hart reemerges from backstage. The two of them launch into the Albert Brumley gospel standard "I'll Fly Away," with the audience clapping along. It's not quite in league with the Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss version of the song that appears on the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, but they give it a spirited ride.
"Y'all sing along if you want to," Frizzell cries out. "Just join in. Have a ball." And they do. As Frizzell and Hart wail, members of the audience move to the front to snap a picture of the two country survivors.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are such iconic quarterbacks, their teams often are depicted as ancillary.
It was Brady and everybody else on the New England Patriots versus Manning and everybody else on the Indianapolis Colts.
On Sunday, everybody else on the Patriots was superior to everybody else on the Colts. The Patriots held on for a thrilling 31-28 victory in Gillette Stadium.
The latest installment of the Brady versus Manning rivalry didn't disappoint, but while Manning threw for a garish amount of yards and touchdowns, Brady didn't drive New England's offense.
The Patriots controlled the game with running backs BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead, overachievers who were neither drafted nor claimed whenever they were placed on waivers.
Patriots play-caller Bill O'Brien was masterful at mixing in the bruising Green-Ellis and the elusive Woodhead, sometimes alternating them play for play. The DanJarvus Green-Woodhead combo rushed for all but 3 of the Patriots' 168 net rushing yards.
They have added a dimension to the Patriots' run game first-round draft choice Laurence Maroney wasn't willing or capable to bring. Maroney was criticized for being too indecisive and not hitting the hole.
That's not a problem with New England's current combo.
"It's just too hard to run away from these guys," Patriots tight end Alge Crumpler said of defenders. "They're too fast, too light on their feet. You have to go through them. It's hand the ball off and run downhill. Sometimes it works that way, and it was fun it be a part of it."
A quality run game is critical for New England's offense, especially since they traded Randy Moss. Defenses are crowding the box more than before.
And with the always-reliable Kevin Faulk out for the season after two games and the disappointing Maroney traded in September, a couple of unproven backs had to step up.
Green-Ellis ran 21 times for 96 yards and a touchdown against the Colts. He helped the Patriots grind down the clock with seven carries for 40 yards in the fourth quarter.
Woodhead had seven attempts for 69 yards. He produced a dazzling, 36-yard touchdown weave in the third quarter. He then made a stupendous tackle on the ensuing kickoff. Woodhead also caught four passes for 21 yards.
They gave the Colts fits, whatever the situation.
"With Woodhead in the game, we look at it as an empty backfield," Colts safety Antoine Bethea said. "He's another receiver. He has the ability to get out and, if a linebacker or safety is on him, it's a tough matchup.
"When Green-Ellis is in the game, we know they're running downhill, and they're going to get the hard yards."
The Colts were going to win or lose with whatever Manning did. He passed for 396 yards and four touchdowns to give the Patriots a scare. But he failed to tie the game or win it when, with 31 seconds left on the clock and the Colts within field-goal range, he threw his third interception.
With Green-Ellis and Woodhead, the Patriots' offense was diversified.
Brady played a tidy game and certainly exuded his usual championship presence throughout the game. He completed 19 of 25 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns for a 123.1 passer rating.
Still, Green-Ellis and Woodhead were highly prominent. Of their 60 offensive snaps, the Patriots ran 34 times.
"They're getting a lot of opportunities because we're running the ball," Brady said. "It's not just drop back and throw it every time. That's certainly important, especially in a game like this, to be able to run the ball. We found ways to do it."
Green-Ellis and Woodhead became more integral to the game plan as the game wore on.
The Patriots scored the first two touchdowns and held a pair of 14-point margins in the second quarter and took another late in the third. With 10:23 left in the game, a Shayne Graham field goal gave the Patriots a 31-14 lead.
Some teams would just pound away with their feature back. The Patriots kept mixing Green-Ellis and Woodhead with wonderful success. All but one of Woodhead's rushing attempts came in the second half.
ESPN Stats & Information charted New England for 114 rushing yards up the middle, its highest total of the year. Indianapolis' defense went into the game yielding an average of 4.6 yards a carry up the middle. With linebackers Gary Brackett and Clint Session scratched because of injuries, Green-Ellis and Woodhead feasted.
For the season, Green-Ellis has 568 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, the first Patriots running back to run for seven touchdowns through 10 games since Corey Dillon in 2006.
Woodhead has 529 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns, certainly disgusting stats for anyone who wears New York Jets apparel. The Jets waived him this year because they didn't have a roster spot for him.
Woodhead and Green-Ellis are sharing the load and making the Patriots a better team.
"Football is a team sport," Woodhead said. "We've got to work together. We're on team. We're doing this thing together."

Charity turns down share of jackpot
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - A New York charity says it has turned down a share of a $3 million lottery jackpot because accepting the money could send the wrong message to gambling addicts.
The Lighthouse Mission, which helps feed 3,000 hungry Long Island residents a week, had been chosen to share an anonymous donor's jackpot last month. The donor gave the winning ticket to the True North Community Church, which said it would share the money with other charities.
The mission's pastor, James Ryan, says he appreciates the offer but had to turn it down because his organization counsels against addictions, including gambling. He did not say what the mission's share of the prize would have been.

Speed thrills for Meaker
Keep up to date with England's tour of India - click here for breaking news, comprehensive match coverage, exclusive interviews and videos
Stuart Meaker is already the fastest English bowler on record – but he believes he can get even quicker.
The 22-year-old Surrey paceman arrived in India today for England's limited-overs tour, their only assignment this side of Christmas.
Despite being the only uncapped member of the 15-man squad, Meaker has a reputation to live up to, as the holder of the fast-bowling record at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough.
"When I was 18 the ECB clocked me at 92.7mph," he told ecb.co.uk, referring to tests which have involved all England bowlers in recent years, including Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff.
"I got slightly quicker on TV one year at 93mph, and I've maintained that pace. It's not touching 100mph yet, but perhaps there's a little bit more in there.
"I feel that when I'm at my best and conditions are right, I can tear in and get it down there a few yards quicker."
Meaker, who speaks with a calmness that belies a fierce competitive streak with the ball, knows he is unlikely to encounter such conditions in India, traditionally the playground of spinners.
And besides, while speed may thrill, Meaker is the first to admit it is only when married with control that it becomes a potent weapon.
"I'd say my pace is my main asset," he revealed. "I've been blessed with a naturally athletic body and it has just allowed me to run in, tear in and bowl fast.
"I used to do a lot of athletics when I was young and I played rugby as well, so that helped. I chose cricket because I absolutely love the sport.
"I might have that pace, but it's useless without having the skills behind it, and bowling 90mph isn't as lethal as it would have been a while ago.
"Batsmen play against it with ease now and they can bash you out of the park as much as anyone, so you've got to have the skill.
"Since last year I've tried to hone my skills in one-day cricket a lot more. I've got a decent slower ball, I can bowl my cutters when I need to, and in the Twenty20s for Surrey this season I did alright with my yorkers. I'm hoping it's all coming together."
Expanding his bowling armoury has been central to Meaker's development in recent years. He progressed through the youth ranks at Surrey – the club he joined as a 12-year-old after emigrating from South Africa – represented England Under-19s and, this summer, England Lions.
Although he remains a work in progress – Meaker averages 37.89 with the ball in 21 one-day matches – he believes he has sufficient weapons to threaten an India side that, despite their much-publicised failure to win a competitive match on their recent tour of England, remain world champions.
He said: "Pitches are a bit flatter and slower out there, but with them being a little bit more abrasive than some of the pitches here, reverse-swing will come into play.
"Everyone knows that if you can reverse the ball at 90mph it's a handful. If I can be nailing my 90mph reverse-swinging yorkers I think I could go okay."

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Pasadena, CA – One morning in 2008, research scientist Cathleen Jones of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, was flying over the San Andreas fault near San Francisco, testing a new radar instrument built at JPL.
As the plane banked to make a turn, she looked down to see the Sacramento River delta, a patchwork of low-lying lands crisscrossed by levees.
Jones was using an instrument that can measure tiny movements of the ground on the scale of less than half an inch (less than a centimeter). It's called the Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR).
This 2004 levee break, caused by a burrowing beaver, did $90 million worth of damage. NASA's UAVSAR is monitoring levees for early signs of stress that could lead to failure. (Calif. DWR)

To the Editor:
—The statement in your editorial headed "The Standard and the Presumptive Kahn Reactions" (The Journal, February 14) reading "The superiority of the Kahn test over different Wassermann technics as well as other precipitation tests is shown by an analysis of the results obtained at the competitive serologic conference of the League of Nations Health Committee held at Copenhagen in 1928" is quite misleading. An analysis of the results of the conference actually shows that the Kahn test is superior in sensitivity to the type of complement fixation test in general use in Europe and nothing more. Of the seven complement fixation tests used at the conference, six employed a preliminary fixation of not over one hour at 37 C.; the other (Jacobsthal) used both 37 C. and "cold" fixation for one hour. It has long been recognized by competent American serologists that such types of preliminary fixation

62 honored at USDA headquarters for their efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2012 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently recognized the efforts of 62 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees who have helped revitalize the agricultural sectors in Afghanistan and Iraq. Among those honored during a ceremony June 4 was Willard E. Garrett of Florence, Miss., who served as an agricultural advisor in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, from 2011 to 2012.
"I'm honored to recognize these brave and devoted men and women for their tremendous service to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq," said Vilsack. "These USDA employees have played a vital role in furthering political and social stability throughout the world by building a foundation on which the economies of these countries will prosper."
USDA agricultural advisors began serving in Afghanistan in 2003 and Iraq in 2006. Their goal has been to help Afghanistan and Iraq rebuild their agricultural sectors by planning and implementing reconstruction and agricultural development projects. Activities vary depending on the needs of the area, but can range from mentoring local agricultural officials to improving food and animal production and marketing systems to veterinary infrastructure, soil and water conservation, and reclamation programs. Advisors working at the national government level help build the capacity of government ministries and collaborate with ministry staff to develop long-term strategies for agricultural development.
In Afghanistan, Garrett helped farmers and government officials increase agricultural productivity and gain access to markets. He also worked with the local university to develop agricultural education programs. Garrett is a field accountant with USDA's Rural Utilities Service in Washington, DC. He received a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, Miss. He is a certified public accountant and a Vietnam-era U.S. Army veteran.
Since 2003, more than 250 USDA personnel have deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. More than 50 agricultural advisors are currently assigned there.

Astonishingly sweet, which is not what I expected from the soft aroma. I drank this in the summer of 2010, but I doubt the sweetness was caused by the intervening five years.

The Clubs that should be avoided should be AC MILAN for the sheer class and experience of their players like Maldini, Seedorf, Nesta etc at Champions League level ,LIVERPOOL because of the Anfield Factor and because they have a very tactically Brilliant Manager . Liverpool seem to set up very well for CL matches because they do not concede goal and they sneak one or two on the counter-attack . These two teams should be the Clubs to be avoided in the Knock Out Stages

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct {
unsigned length;
} List;
void init(List *l) {
l = (List *) malloc(sizeof(List));
l->length = 3;
int main(void) {
List *list = NULL;
if(list != NULL) {
printf("length final %d \n", list->length);
return 0;
return 1;
This is a simplified version of the code that is giving me problems. I am trying to construct the pointer
*list from a method where
*list is passed as an parameter.
I know I can make
void init(List *l) work by changing it to
void init(List **l) but this is for a class tutorial. I can't change the method arguments. I have spent four hours working on this.
I want to ensure that there is no way to make
void init(List *l) work before I confront my professor.
Thanks in advance

The RIHvival continues!
Rihanna just announced she'll be covering the March 2015 issue of Harpers Bazaar magazine, and damn! She looks amazing.
She's back, bitches!
Just a week after she released her new song "FourFive Seconds," Rihanna landed the cover of i-D magazine the "Music Issue," which can only mean one thing: we'll be seeing more music SOON!

However, needless to say, some covers have been more tame than…
Shall we say more?
This supermodel is flawless! In recent years, Kate Upton has become a model icon. She has graced the cover of top fashion magazines from around the world AND she is only 21-years-old.
When Melissa McCarthy's ELLE cover hit newsstands it wasn't long before critics lashed out at the fashion mag for covering up the comedienne in a large coat and suggesting that the magazine was attempting to hide the actress' famous curves.
But in true McCarthy style, she's just laughing it off.

Prawn red curry was spicy and delicious, and the rack of lamb we tried was also very good. Service is a little slow at times however, and the staff... More
