CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team is back on the road for a two-match Southland Conference road trip. The Islanders have won five of their last six matches, including four straight, and will look to keep that streak alive Thursday, Sept. 26, when they take on Sam Houston Sate in Huntsville, Texas at Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum.
The Islanders come into Thursday's match with a 7-6 record including a perfect 2-0 record in conference play. The squad picked up three wins last week in three different cities in a span of four days. The Islanders have swept their last four opponents and are at the top of the Southland with Oral Roberts, Central Arkansas, Stephen F. Austin and Northwestern State who all have a pair of conference wins. Sam Houston State also sits at the top with a 3-0 conference record.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi sealed victories against McNeese State and Houston Baptist last week and swept UTPA on Friday at home in non-conference play. Sophomore Ivy Baresh (4th, SLC) is powering the Islanders offense with 158 kills on .157 hitting while Brianna Brink (13th, SLC) has collected 130 kills this season. Logen Bourque runs the Islanders' offense with 10.52 assists per set, which is good for second in the conference. In conference play, the senior is leading the conference with a .526 hitting percentage. Defensively, Hailey King leads the Islanders with 3.82 digs per set (9th, SLC).
The Islanders sit at the top of the conference in assists with 12.89 per set and are third in kills and digs. The Islanders are averaging 13.59 kills per set and 15.26 digs per set. In conference play, the Islanders lead the league in digs with 16.17 per set and are sitting in second place in conference play with Oral Roberts with 14.33 assists per set. The team is also second in kills with 15.17 per set and fourth with a .274 hitting percentage.
Sam Houston State comes into the contest with a 6-6 record including a 3-0 record in conference play. The Bearkats shared the regular-season title last season with Central Arkansas and returns the 2012 conference player of the year, Deveney Wells-Gibson. Sam Houston State has won four of their last five matches including four sweeps. Wells-Gibson leads the team with 155 kills on .185 hitting. Tayler Gray runs the offense with 9.79 assists per set and defensively Breanna Homer leads the team with 3.79 digs per set. Haley Neisler also contributes to the defense with 30 blocks, including 29 block assists. The Bearkats are hitting .170 as a team while the Islanders are hitting .188 as a team.
Thursday's match will mark the 25th meeting between the two schools with the Bearkats holding an 18-6 series advantage. Last season, the Bearkats swept both matches. In the first meeting, the Bearkats captured a 3-0 (25-14, 26-24, 15-11) victory in Corpus Christi. Haley Satterwhite Day led the team with six kills while Baresh chipped in five kills and 15 digs. In the second meeting, the Islanders fell short 3-1 (25-18, 25-12, 30-32, 29-27) in Huntsville.

Rock and Roll
5:00 Lift off jam...
6:30 Trey settles into a very 2.0 sounding chord progression but this eventually gets funky with Mike and
Fishman having some nice interplay.
8:00 Page comes in with the organ and the vibe suddenly shifts..he lays some piano over it and Gordo drops some dark riffs.
9:10 Mike starts dropping bombs with his meatball. At this point it gets very funky, Trey is basically just playing rhythm lines with Mike and Fish leading the charge
10:20 Trey and Page have some nice interplay here with arpeggios from Trey.
11:00 Trey settles on a riff and Mike comes in with a great bass line.
11:30 Trey plays a melody over the progression they have built. Trey has some delays going on. Mike throws a meatball bomb in there.
12:00 Fishman keeps a beat but its gets spacey. More meatball soul shaking bombs from Mike. Page on his keyboard(fukouka style clav?moog?).
13:00 Page finds a riff on his Rhodes. I feel like Page has done this during jams in the Alpine Fee and Blossom Twist; everyone kind of fades to space and he continues the beat and finds a nice sounding progression. The rest of the band just builds on it, Trey is especially patient during this segment.
14:45 Transient Phish style jamming. Trey being extremely patient and Fishman coming in with creative and polyrhythmic fills.
15:30 Trey takes charge with a blissful yet driving melody. Personally love this segment of jamming.
18:30 Trey starts to reach for some chords and him and Page build a nice little crescendo to keep the jam driving
19:10 Trey comes in with some a nice line that reminds me of 2/28/03 Tweezer, redirecting the jam.
21:00 Jam climaxes a bit but Gordo and Fishman refuse to let the beat die.
21:32 Mike puts on some delay, Trey scratches, Fishman becomes very percussive. This jam reminded me of '96 type of weird percussive jam..then it took a turn into storage jam territory. Some seriously amazing stuff coming out of this segment.
23:00-Fishman drops out, Mike on meatball, Trey making Floyd calls..very storage jam -esque. Fishman
working in various beats and fills
24:30-Trey starts these "Izabella" type dissonant riffs...settles into space.
Fans of Fishman should love the latter segment of this jam
3:30 Lift off jam. Some unique jamming with Trey trills and tasty Mike basslines.
4:40 Jam settles in. Page plays some great lines on his Rhodes. Then things get a bit weird but stay cohesive. Everyone starts to play outside just a bit and then come back together.
6:10 Seriously thick groove starts to appear here. Fishman just locks in and the band is locked in tight.
7:10 Trey comes in with some trills and Gordo really steps it up a notch here, locking into Fishman and driving the beat.
7:52 Trey comes in with some power chords and solidifies the new progression.
8:22 Page goes off on the said progression, Trey follows and hose is unleashed. The jam is very gin-esque. And energy continues to build.
10:00 Flashes of machine gun Trey. With Page holding the organ and hammering the keys the jam really takes off.
11:16 Massive peak. Trey plays a triplet pattern and some very nice fills.
11:24 Empathetic chords from Trey that lead into a vamp
12:00 Fishman changes the beat and Mike drops his bass down and the jam suddenly becomes dark. Mike has this marching beat and Fishman comes in with some Roggae quotes as the jam ends with 30 seconds of weirdness, especially Fishmans fills and Treys wall of noise. Trey kind of emerges with the limb x limb progression and its onward. . .
I felt the Ghost jam is really a Gin jam, the way it builds. Hose!
Of course...second set was pretty amazing from a jamming stand point. Haven't heard them get this outside the box in a long time. It almost looks like 97 or 98 setlist...sounds like it too. Great night, i can't wait to relisten to this show.
RIDIC second set with an astoundingly creative and experimental Rock N Roll, a raging Ghost and a especially impressively played Guyute.
top it off with a fun Julius encore and that my friends is how you start a leg 2.
what a second set, man.... good things are in store
5:00 Treys solo begins to lead the band away from the song structure.
5:50 Trey strikes a chord and lets it ring for two measures while Mike and Page fill in the space. This repeats a few times.
6:10 Trey starts varying his chords and, after a short period of time, begins to play a lead over the space created.
7:30 Trey and Page alternate ascending phrases as Mike and Fish continue driving the beat.
8:30 The band lays into a nice funky progression that mellows out into
9:30 Trey plays some very well constructed ambient phrases that move the sound to a less groove-driven rock jam but a more relaxed space jam (the movie).
9:50 In an incredibly fluid transition, the melody shifts to Page as Trey provides very subtle but well-fitting accompaniment.
10:30 The sound mellows out completely at this point and the music begins to head towards new territory.
10:45 Trey is constructing a nice layer of sound with his delay while Mike plays somewhat consistent lines centered around the same notes, in effect anchoring down the jam and giving it room to develop.
10:50 Trey plays three absolutely beautiful phrases from here to 11:20 that Page somehow predicts and accompanies with nearly identical lines.
11:20 Page and Mike play sweeping sustained notes here that envelop the music, while Page also provides a few sparse lines below it. Trey complements with a layer of delay and Fishman quiets down a bit.
11:50 Page plays a descending synthesizer line and whammys up an octave for a couple notes, eventually landing on a single note. Mike plays a note at the beginning of the section that he lets sustain throughout.
12:30 Fishman is playing only on his cymbals now, rolling on the ride and accenting with cymbal splashes. Page begins with a simple theme that provides direction. Trey plays a distorted and wahd descending line.
12:55 Trey lets a note sustain shortly, Mike comes back in beautifully and complements Pages theme. Fishman provides a rhythmic accompaniment and accents the rhythm with crash hits. Trey adds a sparse layer over top.
13:30 The theme opens up now that everyone is locked and variation begin to develop.
13:45 Page begins some arpeggiated phrases as Trey provides melody by riffing off the theme earlier developed. Mike stays somewhat constant with a bass line that gives Trey and Page something to work off of melodically. Fishman begins incorporating tom hits into his cymbal rolling.
14:30 The lines Trey plays here are some of the most delicately chosen and played phrases Ive ever heard from him. Page is on the grand piano at this point, and his accompaniment is beautiful.
15:10 Page takes over here shortly and plays a melody, and then switches to playing chords. Mike plays a couple short melodic phrases, and Trey comes back in with a melody.
15:30 A new theme has begun to develop with Mike as a driving force moving the jam forward.
15:45 Trey and Page play short phrases with few notes as Mike and Fishman fill the space beautifully, and the music becomes more powerful. Fishman is playing very well at this point, allowing the music to flow freely while also providing an interesting rhythm.
16:00 Treys melodies become more complex at this point, very pretty and well thought out. The music continues to rise in power.
16:45 Trey lands on a note and lets Page take over. Page plays ascending chords while Trey accompanies with the root note of the mode.
17:10 Page lands on a chord and stops ascending. Trey begins to accompany with upper range chords now.
17:50 Page starts these pretty arpeggiated phrases. Trey, rather than play along with this exactly, comes in with a short phrase that creates tension. Page immediately catches on and begins to ascend and stray from the Bb mixolydian scale that they are playing in. Trey does the same, but at different intervals. Their playing here creates some interesting tension before settling back into the Bb mixolydian.
18:10 Trey and Page trade melodies for a bit and then at
18:30 Page plays three ascending chords and Fishman complements with four quarter note triplets on the toms which opens the music up immensely. Page plays a descending arpeggio and right as it seems hes about to resolve, Trey comes in with a melody over-top that creates tension. Page accompanies this shortly and the resolves to a major chord.
18:55 Trey joins Page and develops a short line that he forms melodies around for a bit.
19:35 Trey begins to open the sound by playing some minor key runs. Page hears and starts varying his playing and begins ascending with chords. Trey and Page create tension while ascending and then resolve.
20:30 Page repeats a cool line twice and then Trey begins scratching.
21:05 Very percussive music as Fishman begins to take over and lay into the snare. Trey and Fishman are playing off each other and making very cool noise. Fishman fades a bit.
22:30 Fishman begins to take over again with chaotic playing. Page is making dark sounds along with Trey and Mike letting his notes sustain.
24:00 Trey is trilling and Fishman lays into the bell of a cymbal. He comes back on the drums and the music begins to peter out as everybody makes a few individual runs. The music further fades and a familiar scratch begins
28:20 The energy here is great after a well executed drop in. Trey descends into a nice funky riff and stays for a while.
28:40 Mike plays an ascending phrase that moves the jam in a lighter direction, and Trey follows with trilling that opens up the music. Page fills in the space with some funky clav action.
29:00 Fuuuuuuuuunk. Trey lays into a sweeeet chord and rhythm here and Page fills in with clavinet.
29:20 Trey transitions to playing lead, he and Mike are each playing long phrases that intertwine and move beautifully.
30:00 The music is meandering a bit, but in the very best way. Interesting melodic lines and involved accompaniment from Mike.
30:10 Mike plays this descending line that Trey mimics immediately. One of those short moments where I have to pause and just think about how impressive the music I just heard was. Its amazing how quickly Trey latches on and figures out what Mike was playing.
30:20 Page has moved to playing chords and is using a very smooth sound, which adds a consistent layer of sound to the music. Trey holds a note and then Mike comes in with a very cool bluesy riff that keeps the jam moving.
30:50 The band is looking for a direction now. Fish and Trey are laying down a solid base to play with. Page starts playing and Trey joins in. Their playing is flowing and weaving in and out of each other.
31:10 Not much to say here, just wanted to point out how cool Fishmans beat is right now.
31:45 Trey starts trilling. Page soon joins in with similar playing. Beautiful music here.
32:40 Trey breaks away from trilling and begins building a peak by playing chords. The rest of the band fills in space behind.
33:15 Page is on grand piano now which brings the jam into an entirely new level. Once again, absolutely beautiful playing. Trey plays a line right here that he revisits multiple times in the following couple minutes.
34:40 Trey starts playing more notes here creating a great, very uplifting sound. Page is playing a chord repeatedly here and power is building.
35:20 Release. Trey plays very pretty lines here and Page varies his chords.
35:50 The peak is peaking! Trey is playing three rising notes over and over again and the music swells with power. Beautiful and tight playing.
36:45 Trey starts playing a C-D chord progression. Page follows and starts varying his playing and throwing in atonal notes. Trey follows and the jam dissipates into a very odd and dark segment.
37:40 Fishman starts quoting Roggae, very cool stuff. The music crumbles from here and Trey comes in with Limb by Limb chords.
Set two's opening trio, which constitutes well over half the length of the set, is as good a jam sequence as you will find in 2012. I have not heard a more blissful jam than this Rock and Roll. It's not necessarily the most ambient (Fukuoka set II), patient (half the jams from Cypress), or minimalistic (also Fukuoka set II), but I'll be damned if there is a jam that features more empathetic and beautiful playing from Trey and Page. There's a solid 10+ minutes in the middle of this jam where Trey and Page just play these absolutely gorgeous melodies back and forth over a superb foundation laid down by Mike and Fish. After that it dissolves into five minutes of awesome and eery space.
Following Rock and Roll is one of my three favorite 3.0 Ghosts (along with MSG '10 and Albany '09). While I wouldn't call the transition from the Rock and Roll jam into Ghost a segue, the two songs fit together perfectly, like two puzzle pieces. The Rock and Roll jam delicately fades out and Trey delicately starts chunking Ghost, it's absolutely superb. The jam itself is great and the ending features some sick playing from Fish. The Limb to follow foreshadows the hose that would go down in St. Louis 13 days later. This Limb isn't anywhere near as good as the St. Louis version, but it is way better than average and has a different energy than most. The beginning of jams of these two versions actually sound quite similar. The rest of the set is gravy. A very well played Guyute, a great Hood, and a rockin' closer. It would be unreasonable to ask for more.
This is must hear Phish.
Now on to the second set. Anytime Phish launches into RnR, it feels special to me. Maybe because the last RnR that I saw was the Gorge (8/5/11), but I had a feeling from the start that this could be something big. About 10 minutes into RnR and things start to get groovy. What makes this RnR special to me is that the band really puts themselves out there and experiments with new sounds and grooves. They took a lot of chances, and it paid off. Experiencing this live was unbelievable. Anytime it seemed like they might be tapering off and about to launch into a new song, they just turned a musical corner and continued into new space with the jam. They explored so many different melodies and kept adding layers to an already astounding jam.
When RnR finally wrapped up after 25 minutes of near-perfect ambient-style jamming and dropped into Ghost, I nearly lost my sh*t. It was the perfect song to continue the groove. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ghost, and when LxL came, I thought it was the most perfect placement for a LxL. Guyute always gets me going; there's something about the composed pieces of music that I absolutely love. This Guyute was executed quite well, and I think it adds a lot of energy to the set.
Dirt. If there had to be a slow song in this set, Dirt is definitely it. I couldn't have asked for a more appropriate slow song to cool it off for a few minutes before that Hood. I actually remember saying, "Are they gonna play a slow song?? I need to stop dancing so hard." Dirt will always work for me, it's a pretty song and I enjoy the message it sends. Closing the set with Hood>GTBT...I don't think I need to say anything else.
Probably one of the best second sets of 3.0. It will definitely get compared to the Crosseyed sandwich from 8/19/12 and that whole second set, but as I re-listen to this show, I'm slowing moving it closer to the top of my list. There seems to be a real FLOW in this set that perhaps wasn't totally in the 8/19 second set..either way, both pieces of music are outstanding and worth a listen. I like the Julius encore, getting the phans ready to rage for 3 nights in SF. Rock on people!
The first set was above average with excellent versions of Gin and Quinn.
The second set reached a level I haven't witnessed since Pine Knob last summer.
From start to finish this is arguably a more complete performance than Pine Knob and superior to San Francisco night three.
The second set had an uninterrupted flow from start to finish. I consider it one piece of music rather than seven songs.
It is the reason I keep coming back for more.
phenomenal type-2 jamming, with a full breakdown to near-silence, a raging build-up to a sonic space COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than your typical Hood peak, and then... perfect slam into the old-school Hood ending chords, with a little extra energy to boot.
first listened while driving through the Rocky Mountains west of Denver, and you better believe i had the most ridiculous shiz-eating grin on my face the whole time. listen and be amazed!
I'd be as happy as a pig in dirt
Played seven times in phistory
played 1 in 51 shows since its debut
That right there qualifies for bustout status
Now, granted they have played the song twice this summer, once in 2010 and once in 2009, one might be able to make an argument for perennial.
But it is still a bustout song and great to hear! Thank you Phish!
How about perennial bustout?
I finally realized the meaning.
From this time forth, Phish are going to be so great on a consistent basis that you do not have enough storage on your computer or even in the hours of your life to hear it all. If you thought the past was great, get a load of what's likely to come next!
They're promoting Hampton '97 with long jams this year, and the jams are incredibly meaningful again and again. Hell, there's that moment Mike Gordon had where the compositions and jams blended into perfect balance and he had something like a religious experience. Now we get this chapter of Phish that conveys that feeling in a way I can appreciate.
I'm listening for the first time, and I'm at the first spacey turn of the jam, and it's really questing and gorgeous. I love Phish 2012!
Check out this Gin: I'm hearing some "Tequila" teases from Page (and Mike joins in) beginning at 3:59...and then this jam wastes no time. Trey stays within the theme and even quotes it over the next couple of minutes, but Fishman quickly tightens up the beat and leans into the high-hat a little more, and the rest of them follow into an aggressive tear through the next portion. Trey gives us some of his classic tremolo that usually signals the end--but then we get another build up (ending with some great, really uncharacteristic improv!!!) which carries over into the very last run-through of the phrase before returning to the jam. In these last few moments before the theme returns, the bass is especially stunning!! This Gin is one of the best examples of collective (i.e., not "Trey-led" or "DoMIKEnated") jamming I've seen from this band.
We finally got one! You could feel it through out the night that everyone could feel the energy.
From beginning to end the best socal show I've ever seen! Sucks that I have to likely wait another year to see my favorite group of musicians...
My buddies were a little disappointed with the second set, but I really dug the jams after the high-energy first set. RnR was a great way to kick things off, and then they settled into a really groovy Ghost. Limb also surprised me, pleasantly, and meshed well with the Guyute follow-up. Dirt for some people isn't what they want to hear live, but I love that song and I was happy to see it, especially in that part of the show. Of course, as with Cool It Down, we were just getting a break before a nasty, funktastic Hood and a solid GTBT closer.
It's my first review, so I don't want to create a rep as a whiner. I'm not one of those people as I think you see above. But I have to say that the Julius encore was a bit of a downer, if only because I've literally heard Julius live more than any other song. It's fun, it was a fun encore, don't get me wrong. Maybe they just know I'm in the house and think I love Julius I guess I should appreciate the awesome show instead of saying I wished they would have given us a second song or a YEM encore, right?
Seriously, this show rocked in a big way. I'm glad to be here with what seems like a really good group of fans.
Set 1:
Bustout-Cool it Down
Big Energy-Stash
Extended Jam-Gin
Fast and Ferocious-KDF
Set 2:
Bustout (at least a rarity)-Dirt
Big Energy-Guyute
Extended Jam-Rock N' Roll>Ghost
Fast and Ferocious-Good Times Bad Times
2.0 Flashback (Trey's tone)-Hood
I know everyone's raving over the Rock n' Roll > Ghost, and so will I! Holy balls, what an experience. The longest, most delicate and amazing space jam I've ever heard live, and one of my favorites ever. Who would have guessed it would have come out of Rock n' Roll? NO ONE! Brilliant. Ghost was equally trance inducing and was the first I had seen live. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Basically, the entire second set was pure fire. I can't recommend hearing it enough.
BUT THE FIRST SET WAS GREAT TOO! Kill Devil Falls, Guelah, Stash, a Cool It Down bust-out and Quinn The Eskimo all were phenomenal. The band was locked in the whole time. CHECK THIS SHOW OUT!
NOT Rock and Roll > Ghost.
That was NOT a segue.

When I first got to this site I didn't get it why you seemed to diss people but now I see your just correcting them. And you seem to not like it when people talk shit, especially when you know how it's really like.
That's funny cause that's why I hate a lot of american( mostly public figures and other politicians) people, cause they have eye patches on and they only seem to be interrested in their causes. This is ONE planet we live on, maybe we can try not to fuck it up and try to live together.
9-11 was a big test case. The results are in America doesn't have a clue what's going on in the rest of the world!!!!!

Mental health court gives offenders treatment, not time

Top Moment #8: Islanders Softball Walk-Off Win Over SHSU
After dropping a 10-2 opening game against Sam Houston State, the Islanders softball team bounced back with a two-run walk-off home run by Valerie Perez to win 6-5 in the second game of a three-game series at Chapman Field. The junior recorded her second career home run and first of the season over the right center wall to lift the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi Islanders to victory.
After falling behind early 4-0, the Islanders rallied back to plate two in the third before knotting the score at 4-4 in the fifth. After Sam Houston State's Ashley Isbell hit a home run to push the Bearkats ahead 5-4 in the top of the seventh, Perez cranked a two-run walk-off homer in the final frame.
The Islanders pulled within two in the bottom of the third with two runs on one hit. With one out, Dani Tefft reached on an error at third and landed on second after she recorded her sixth stolen base of the season. Mickayla Cochran then stepped to the plate and drilled her fourth career home run over the right field wall.
The Islanders followed with two hits in the bottom of the fourth before knotting the score in the bottom of the fifth with two runs on two hits. Tefft led the frame with a single to the pitcher before Cochran reached on a fielder's choice as Tefft was called out on the play. Cochran landed on second on a Hayley Galloway ground out before Lindsay Lyles reached on a walk. After Cochran and Lyles both advanced on a passed ball, Perez ripped a single up the middle to plate Cochran and Lyles and even the score at 4-4.
The Bearkats answered back in the top of the seventh with a one-out homer to right center by Isbell to take a 5-4 lead before Constance Brandenburg retired the next two Bearkats.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi rallied back once again to win the game in the bottom of the seventh. Galloway led the inning with a fly out to center field before Lyles reached on a walk. Natalie Zarzabal came in to pinch run for Lyles before Perez stepped to the plate and recorded the two-run walk-off homer to lift the Islanders to victory.
Brandenburg picked up the victory for the Islanders while Perez went 2-for-4 to power the Islanders' bats. Ashley Elicerio, Cassie Carroll, Laura Phillips, Cochran, Tefft and Lyles all chipped in one hit apiece.

PITTSBURG -- If the measure of a man is the size of his dreams and the number of those who sing his praises, Los Medanos College music department director Silvester Henderson is ginormous.
Intense, immensely ambitious and unambiguously impassioned about the power of education, the man known to thousands as "Mr. Gospel" conducts a mighty "orchestra" of believers. The Pleasanton resident is adorned in educational pedigrees, Grammy Music Educator Quarterfinalist honors, an upcoming East County NAACP Community Service Award and multiple other earned accolades.
The unstoppable son of a father who couldn't read or write, a mother who took in laundry for a living and with an East Oakland childhood he says in an interview that "caved in on me," Henderson's every move appears improbable. Long ago, he was an overweight child transfixed by a piano; then a teenager, working odd jobs to pay for classes at San Francisco State University. Meeting El Cerrito couple Aaron and Bernice Thompkins as a 17-year-old kid, and attending Oakland's Church of the Good Shepherd Baptist, Henderson says, "They were an educated African American couple. I told myself, 'I want to be like that one day.'"
Gospel singer Helen Stephens, founder of the Lighthouse Singers of Marin, gave Henderson the ultimate blessing -- a language for expressing his zealous determination to rise above life's waterline.
"I'm emotionally stubborn," he says, explaining how humble beginnings and traumatic bullying failed to quash his ambition.
Henderson, who has a master's degree in choral conducting from SF State, taught African American studies and music at his alma mater for 12 years, and formed the 120-member Young Inspirational Gospel Choir at UC Berkeley, He also has run the Palma Ceia Baptist Church music program in Hayward for 33 years, and is a music professor and leader of the Los Medanos College Gospel Choir. On top of that, he's also the author of an extensive five-part curriculum that divides and defines gospel music.
Planning the Los Medanos choir's 20th anniversary, May 10 "Community Celebration Concert," it's no surprise that Henderson has a grand vision.
"We're promoting music education and the liberal arts for underserved communities as a means to save our children," he says. "Gospel is music that promotes hope for individuals who have despair. Education should support mankind through equitable learning and community."
And Henderson's only getting warmed up, because the concert's cause is backed by a load of talent -- more than 300 performers, including Broadway's "Wicked" star Celisse Henderson (one of Henderson's three daughters) and Lena Byrd-Miles (an Oakland singer Henderson describes as "Jennifer Hudson, Aretha Franklin and Shirley Caesar, all wrapped up in one").
Los Medanos' gospel choir will be joined by the Palma Ceia Baptist Church Mass Choir, Young Keyboard Superstars, Sons of Mr. Gospel and other performers.
The latter two groups are composed of young men Henderson has mentored, including Michael Blankenship, who's come full circle and now co-instructs the SFSU Gospel Choir and has served as keyboardist for Sheila E, Lauryn Hill and others.
"Being a young black male -- not that race is the only key, and I had a great father -- there was a point in my 20s where (Henderson) was refreshing," Blankenship says in a phone interview. "He was a successful musician: he does what he says he's going to do. Everything he requested of me, he could back it up. He was almost militant, but with a high degree of compassion."
Henderson says the concert can be "like a field trip" for students who aren't well-served by today's emphasis on STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math).
"STEM doesn't uplift African American young people," he insists. "It doesn't serve them well, because it says their culture is unimportant. It's prejudicial. Gospel is a catalyst to encourage creative expression."
But he's not suggesting students put all their eggs in the musical basket. After all, he didn't. He calls his home in the gated, upscale Ruby Hill community "proof that you can obtain things through a legal, hardworking manner." Real estate investments and 20 years of utilizing his educator's muscle to establish a sustainable lifestyle through music, have resulted in what he calls his proudest benefits -- financial success, three children, a 31-year marriage to Cecile (also an East Bay educator and musician) and 225 to 250 former students per month in contact with him.
Much like his favorite classical composition, Serge Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor, "Mr. Gospel," is passionate, complicated, replete with rich, full harmonies--and a man who has traveled beyond dissonance to compose a better future through education.

A story about a U.S. antitrust investigation of Google incorrectly reported Microsoft's role with the Association for Competitive Technology. While Microsoft is a longtime financial sponsor of the trade group, which has often allied itself with Microsoft's policy views, it is not a co-founder. That incorrect characterization also appeared in a Dec. 11 article and a July 29 column.
Many of the most popular mobile games and apps for children are transmitting personal information to advertisers and marketing firms, often without parents' knowledge, the government said Monday in a report that regulators seem likely to use in making the case for tough new rules on Internet services aimed at kids.
Based on a survey of apps found in the Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) online stores, the Federal Trade Commission said it has launched investigations to determine whether some apps are violating federal laws that prohibit deceptive business practices and require online services to obtain parents' permission before collecting identifying information from children under 13. Violators could face federal lawsuits, court orders or fines.
The report comes as the agency is nearing a decision on whether to toughen its rules for protecting children's privacy online. While some watchdogs say the proposed rule changes are overdue, major Internet and entertainment companies argue the new regulations would impose unreasonable or disruptive requirements.
Without commenting on the proposed changes, FTC Chairman Jon Liebowitz made it clear in a statement that he is concerned about the study's findings.
"Our study shows that kids' apps siphon an alarming amount of information from mobile devices without disclosing this fact to parents," Liebowitz said of the report, which found 59 percent of the apps tested by FTC staffers were transmitting information back to developers or ad agencies.
Often, the information includes a digital code that identifies the device on which an app is being used. A small number of apps also shared precise information about the user's physical location and phone number.
FTC officials said advertisers or marketing firms can draw information from different apps to compile extensive profiles on a child's interests or habits, even without knowing the child's name, and then deliver personalized messages to kids without their parents' knowledge or consent.
More than half the apps in the study show ads to users, while some allow users to make online purchases or connect to social networks, often without disclosing those facts to users or parents before they download the app onto a tablet or mobile phone, the FTC said.
The study touches on concerns the FTC and other agencies have raised before. "While we think most companies have the best intentions," Liebowitz added, "all of the companies in the mobile app space, especially the gatekeepers of the app stores, need to do a better job."
Google said Monday that it will review the report, while noting that it already requires developers to disclose what information their app will access and to obtain user approval before the app can be downloaded. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
In its report, however, the FTC said the standard disclosures provided for apps in the Android and Apple stores "do not provide parents with the information they need to make informed choices about the apps their kids use."
The FTC said only 20 percent of the apps in its survey provide access to explicit privacy policies. Some were dense and difficult to understand, and some were incomplete or misleading, according to the report.
For its study, the FTC said it used the keyword "kids" to search for apps in both the Google and Apple stores, then selected 200 apps from each platform. Commission staffers downloaded those apps and tested to see what kinds of information they transmitted.
Officials declined to single out apps by name. "We think this is a systematic problem," said FTC associate director Jessica Rich. "We don't want people to think that if they just avoid certain apps, they're home free."
One organization of developers quibbled with the report's findings while saying it shows the industry must educate developers about privacy issues.
The vast majority of apps are created by "first-time developers" and small startups "that do not have legal departments or privacy experts on staff," said a statement by the Association for Competitive Technology, which was founded by Microsoft and also represents smaller developers.
Privacy watchdogs said the study shows the need for broader rules and enforcement. "This report reveals widespread disregard for children's privacy rules," said the nonprofit Center for Digital Democracy.
The FTC is expected to decide this month whether to add more categories of data to the list of information that online operators can't collect from kids under 13 without parents' permission.
Along with the investigations announced Monday, Leibowitz said the commission will continue monitoring the industry as a whole. He added, "We expect to see improvement."

Report on kids apps
Some of the FTC's findings:
20 percent of the apps in the study display privacy policies.
59 percent send data to the app developer, an advertising network or analytics service.
58 percent show ads, although only 15 percent disclosed their use of ads before they were downloaded.
17 percent allow kids to make online purchases for up to $30.

TIPS for parents
Try out apps before your child uses them.
Use settings in app store or app itself to limit a child's ability to make purchases or other downloads.
Set device on "airplane mode" to disable interactive features when a child is using an app.
Look for privacy policies or other statements and if you're not satisfied, choose another app.
Check whether the app connects to social networks, gaming platforms or other services.
Talk to your kids about information they should or shouldn't share online.

Measuring Cups & Spoons
Accuracy is the cook's best friend and our wet and dry measuring cup sets have the precision measurements and lasting value you need in kitchen utensils. Williams-Sonoma offers stainless-steel, glass, stoneware and plastic measuring sets in standard and unusual sizes, and offers smaller measuring spoon sets in stainless-steel and teak varieties. While measuring ingredients correctly is one way to ensure recipe success, cutting ingredients to the proper thickness also affects cooking time and tenderness. Use our professional-quality slicers and mandolines to follow pie, gratin and ratatouille recipes to the quarter inch and your dishes will always come out perfectly done.
When baking, you'll mix up success by weighing ingredients rather than measuring them. Our quality scales, including the Caso Baking Scale, will also help you follow recipes from countries where metric measurements are the norm. Order high-grade timers, thermometers and scales so that every measurement in your kitchen is true. Another detail that will make or break a dish is the amount of straining done to create a smooth texture in a dessert or coulis. You really need a proper fine chinois and stand to strain crème brûlée and fruit reductions. Have a variety of strainer sizes on hand for everyday rinsing and coarse sifting of ingredients.

Awesome picture. Where is this? How long have you been climbing?
I don't post here very often, but...
I just started climbing about 3 months ago and I can definitely understand the obsession. The weather kind of sucks right now and I haven't been able to get outside much, so I've been primarily doing gym climbing. It doesn't compare to outdoors, but at least I can work on building up strength over the winter.
This was on my very first climb.
I moved to New York about 6 months ago and I've been doing a lot of hiking, exploring the Catskills. I'm looking forward to doing some backpacking this year.
And I also fill my time with knitting, sewing, all that crafty stuff, motorcycle riding (although I sold my Harley before I moved, so I'm currently without a bike), kickboxing, etc.

The author appears to have dropped off the face of the Earth back in 2006, but SoulSeeX still does the job for me beautifully. Excellent Soulseek client.
I like the multi-window interface, and the program as a whole!
BTW, if you right-click a user or a down-/upload, you get lots of options...
I don't really like having to have multiple windows open, and if there's a way to restart dowloads/uploads I haven't figured it out yet. However, unlike its alternate SolarSeek, which is much easier to use, it stays connected to the slsk server which takes precedence over usability for the most part. I'd really like SoulSeek to make a Mac (and *nix) client which is essentially the same as the one they have out now...'til then, I guess I'll use ssX. At least the icon is cute?
i don't see what some people's problems are with this application because when it comes down to it, well, its stable, configurable and efficient.

quote: Solar Power is useless for interstellar travel. Perhaps it will work for interplanetary travel (at least within the inner solar system and to a lesser extent the outer), but once you pass the termination shock/helopause/bow shock, it becomes exceedingly less useful, especially when a starship is concerned. I'd go so far to say that once you reach this point, it is basically useless and actually far before that.As far as fusion... we can't even pull off nuclear fusion on our own planet yet so we're quite a ways off from putting it in a starship. I'd say for now, fission will reign supreme for the time being.Otherwise, interesting article. :)

On Thursday, Dansville High School had their first iPad orientation sessions and handed out new iPads to seniors and juniors.
"It's really fun. I was just playing around with it and I feel like we can do a lot of great things with them," said Dansville High School senior Kathryn Lieder.
The superintendent calls it a seamless transition to paperless.
"We think our kids are going to be really engaged and that we're finally communicating in their language," said Superintendent Amy Hodgson.
Hodgson says the Dansville Education Foundation raised $25,000 to help with the purchases. Marlene Lieder is the president of the foundation, but as the mom of a student, she's also just looking forward to learning.
"I have a long way to go but I'm excited to see it and see what the different applications are and our children do teach us a lot along this line."
With technology at their fingertips, teachers are already seeing endless possibilities like recording lessons and uploading them online and using e-books instead of physical textbooks. The school is also working with a company to pilot an interactive Earth Science textbook.
"With the electronic textbooks, they can just click on a word that they don't understand and the definition will come up. It can take them to web resources if they have questions or if they're more interested in that," said Hodgson.
Some students say the iPads will help them learn independently and get them ready for college.

Installation is not straightforward.
As far as editing, many find that editing in multiple columns is more challenging than editing in one longer column. Personal taste again comes into play.
I am working an the feature to import PDFs without PlugIn
I've just tried Lesen and compared it with Tofu.
Lesen allows you to edit the documents and has a nicer interface.
Tofu is able to open PDF files (without any plugin) and the space bar advances pages.
Well... The choice is not easy... But I still prefer Tofu. (It's just a matter of personal taste.)
Meanwhile, I'll be waiting for future versions of Lesen. Maybe those two features of Tofu will be included...
Thanks for clarifying that - I too wasn't sure what the distinction was between that and Tofu. There's another freeware vertical column-style text editor floating somewhere out there, but this arguably looks a lot better.
And what's this "PDF Support Plugin" you talk about? You're not talking about SchubertIT's PDF Web Browser Plugin (that's not Universal), are you?
with Lesen you can edit (Font, Format etc.) and save (Word, RTF and Schreiben Documents) - Tofu does not allow this
How dooes this compare with Tofu?
It seems to me that both applications do (almost) the same.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Lesen is the german word for read(ing)
I have added an english localization :-)
This looks neat, but I have no idea what it is. There's no english translation apparently, but it appears to be some sort of word processor or text editor, with intelligent columns. It would be nice if the description were a little more descriptive.

A Lebanon man accused of murdering three people in Stoutland in December entered a plea of not guilty to six felony charges on Monday. Morris McCabe appeared in a crowded Camden County courtroom at 11:15 a.m. to plead "not guilty" to three first-degree murder charges and three armed criminal action charges.
More than a dozen friends and relatives of Sally Amos, Donald Young and Donald Myers attended the arraignment in Camdenton. They waited for two hours and 15 minutes as Judge Stan Moore presided over a docket with more than 100 entries. Camden County closed its courthouse and postponed hearings in early February due to a 21-inch snowfall in Camdenton. The storm created a backlog of court hearings.
A hush came over the gallery as McCabe was led into the courtroom. Whispers of "there he is," and "that's the murderer," broke up the silence in the gallery.
McCabe appeared in court in a red shirt and black and white striped pants, the uniform of a county jail inmate. His arms and legs were shackled. Three police officers escorted McCabe in and out of the courtroom from the jail entrance. The accused was not allowed to move more than a few feet from the door. McCabe appeared calm throughout the proceedings and leaned against a wall with his attorney standing to his left.
Camden County Prosecuting Attorney Brian Keedy read the list of charges against McCabe. Keedy noted that the first degree murder charges carry a penalty of death or life in prison with no parole if McCabe is convicted. When Keedy finished reading the charges, public defender Fawzy T. Simon answered Judge Moore's request for a plea.
"Judge, as to all counts Mr. McCabe pleads not guilty," Simon stated.
The plea set off a stir in the gallery, including one man's outburst of "ha."
Simon and Keedy held a brief off-record conference in front of Moore's bench. The deputies and officers in the courtroom escorted McCabe out of the courtroom and back to jail. He will remain behind bars in Camdenton until his trial. The trial date has not been set. McCabe was in the courtroom for a total of five minutes on Monday.
Judge Moore recused himself from the case shortly after the arraignment hearing. The case goes to Division II Circuit Judge Kenneth Hayden.

Google published details of the concessions it's making to European Union regulators to settle a three-year antitrust probe.
Google will dodge EU fines and any finding that it discriminated against competing sites after the European Commission said last week that it accepted the company's offer to show rival links next to its own specialized searches, such as Google Shopping. Competitors will pay at least 3 euro cents (4 U.S. cents) to bid for a spot in a shaded box on some of Google's search pages.
The owner of the world's largest search engine published its commitments "to ensure that everyone understands the wide- ranging nature of this settlement," Google's general counsel, Kent Walker, said in a blog posting today. The changes will give rival services "significant prominence and valuable screen space on our search results pages."
Google and the EU have been criticized for agreeing to settle the case without consulting rivals and customers. Joaquin Almunia, the EU's antitrust chief, was rebuked by at least three other EU commissioners at a regular meeting this week. ICOMP, which represents Microsoft and other companies that oppose the pact, said the EU should take into account their comments and analysis.
Almunia said he won't test Google's offer with other companies after seeking comments on two previous proposals. Officials will write to 18 complainants to explain why they think the new offer answers antitrust issues before rejecting the complaints and making Google's commitments legally binding for five years.
Triggered by complaints from other Internet businesses, the EU's probe examined allegations that Google promotes its specialist search services, such as Google News and Google Finance, copies competitors' travel and restaurant reviews, and has agreements with websites and software developers that thwart competition in the advertising industry.
The deal will close one of the EU's most high-profile antitrust cases as Almunia seeks similar settlements with OAO Gazprom, Samsung Electronics and Visa Europe before he leaves office at the end of October. Breaking the terms of such a pact carries a penalty of as much as 10 percent of global revenue.
By settling, Google avoids the heavy fines meted out to other U.S. technology companies. Microsoft, the world's biggest software maker, has paid more than 2 billion euros in fines to the EU, while Intel, the largest chipmaker, got the EU's highest-ever penalty of 1.06 billion euros in 2009.

DENVER -- Fifteen minutes after the final pitch Tuesday night, Giants manager Bruce Bochy walked up to left-hander Madison Bumgarner in a clubhouse hallway and softly patted him on the arm.
The lineup behind Bumgarner showed the same level of thump in a 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Bumgarner threw just 97 pitches in eight innings, becoming the sixth Giants starter to throw a complete game at Coors Field. He scattered eight hits and gave up two solo homers while hitting a double.
"He was phenomenal," right fielder Hunter Pence said.
Bumgarner was also on the wrong end of a 2-1 game for the second time in six days. He's the first Giant to throw a complete game at Coors Field and lose and just the second pitcher in the history of the vaunted hitters park to go the distance, give up two or fewer runs and come away with a loss.
A day after the Giants got just four outs from their starting pitcher and lost a long reliever to injury, Bumgarner went so deep that he still had fresh ice packs on his shoulder when addressing the media. But the 24-year-old shrugged off any talk of frustration.
"It's not any more frustrating than it is for everybody," he said. "We all want to win. I'm not frustrated for myself. We should be winning these games. We're going through a rough patch, and it doesn't matter how good you are, you're going to go through stretches like this."
Not many recent Giants skids have matched the current one. The Giants have scored two or fewer runs in six of their past seven games, and while Franklin Morales had good stuff Tuesday night, they haven't exactly been facing a deck of aces. The Giants left nine runners on base Tuesday and went 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position, dropping to 9 for 79 with RISP over their past 11 games. Tuesday's failures piled up as Bumgarner did his best to keep the Rockies at bay.
The first two Giants hitters reached base in the second, but a fielder's choice and two strikeouts ended the inning. Troy Tulowitzki's diving stop at short halted a fourth-inning rally after the Giants put two on with one out. Bumgarner hit a two-out double in the seventh, but Angel Pagan struck out for the third time. With two on and one out in the eighth, the Rockies brought in left-hander Rex Brothers to turn around Pablo Sandoval. Sandoval tapped into a double play on the first pitch.
"When you're swinging at the first pitch," Bochy said, "You want to hit it a little better than that."
After the wasted opportunities and Bumgarner had brushed off two Rockies homers, the Giants had a chance. Brandon Crawford drew a one-out walk in the ninth and pinch hitter Gregor Blanco singled. But Hector Sanchez struck out, and Pagan grounded out to clinch the fourth loss in five games on this trip.
The Giants are 1 for 19 with runners in scoring position in two days at Coors Field. That one hit, a single by Pence on Monday, didn't even score a run. Pence provided the lone blemish on Morales' line with his second homer of the season.
"It feels like we're hitting every ball right at them," Pence said. "But that turns around. It changes."
Bochy might make a few changes for the series finale. Buster Posey, 3 for his last 35 at the plate, will likely sit. A few other regulars might get the day off as Bochy looks for a temporary fix to the offensive woes, but he said it isn't time to make excuses.
"We're in April," Bochy said, his eyes wide. "I don't think anybody should be tired."
Perez is hitless in eight at-bats this season while primarily serving as a defensive replacement. Bochy said he anticipates getting Michael Morse and Pagan more rest.

Veterans Day was particularly special this year for 43 homeless veterans thanks to volunteers from Texas Instruments and the South Bay Blue Star Moms.
The veterans, who all receive services and shelter through EHC LifeBuilders, were hosted for breakfast at Applebee's, 51 Curtner Ave., in Willow Glen.
Some 50 volunteers from Texas Instruments worked as waiters and also entertained, playing music and singing popular songs from the 1960s and '70s.
At the end of the morning of fellowship, each of the veterans was given a new backpack filled with essential provisions, including toiletries, stationery and food, as well as a sincere thank you.
Bonnie Estrada, a software systems engineer at Texas Instruments and a member of the board of the South Bay Blue Star Moms, spearheaded the event. Her goal was to provide fellowship for veterans who often get forgotten.
"This event is important," Estrada said, "because spending a few minutes listening to stories and thanking a veteran for their service is not hard, yet so well received."
Estrada's son served in the Army in Iraq, earning a Bronze Star, and continues to serve on active reserve.
"My son has a family that supports his decision and praises his bravery," she said.
"It's sad to think there are people who don't have the same support and I would only hope, if something ever happened to me, that his sacrifice would not be forgotten."

ingredient information
Oats Whole Grained Rolled
The magic of oats lies in their high soluble fiber content which means of your body can use it very efficiently and turn it into slow release energy At the same time you will be taking in the highest amount of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, thiamin, folacin and vitamin E of any other unfortified whole grain, like wheat, barley or rice. Add to all that its ability to lower your cholesterol levels. Here's the catch: You need to eat a sizable quantity of oats to reap their benefits. You must eat approximately 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal (about 3/4 cup raw) every day to get the amount of soluble fiber necessary to lower your cholesterol. U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a final ruling on the federal register regarding the use of food labeling health claims based on the association between soluble fiber from whole oats and a reduced risk of coronary heart disease. The labeling claim has been approved for food products marketed in the U.S., based on thirty years of scientific evidence that the type of soluble fiber found in whole oat products (b-Glucan soluble fiber) may lower blood cholesterol levels. [The term whole oat products has been defined as oat bran, rolled oats and whole oat flour.]

SANTA CLARA -- Running back Frank Gore said he feels good even though he hasn't participated in on-field workouts at the 49ers' minicamp, which concludes Thursday.
"I'm just listening to Ferg," Gore said, referring to the team's head trainer Jeff Ferguson. "He told me he didn't want me doing anything right now and I'm listening to him."
Asked if he'll be ready to go when training camp begins, he said, "If Ferg says I can go out there, I'll do it. I feel good. I'm good. I'm just getting my body back. I just want to be fresh."
Gore is always fueled by perceived slights, such as where he was drafted and injuries he has had to overcome. After turning 30 in May, he has one more knock to deal with.
"I laugh," he said of the talk of his age. "I feel like every year it's something with me. I've got to overcome everything every year.
"I'm just going to keep working and training hard and whenever Ferg lets me get on the field, I'll just go hard and prove everybody wrong again."

PARK CITY, UTAH -- Ashton Kutcher found playing Steve Jobs to be a "terrifying" experience.
Fortunately for him, Kutcher had the Sundance Film Festival to cushion his landing as he jumped into the lead role in "Jobs," a biopic that chronicles the life of the founder of Apple Computer (AAPL) from 1974 to 2002. In fact, he couldn't have found a friendlier place for the film to premiere.
The TV sitcom star got applause when he walked into the theater. He got applause when his name appeared in the opening credits. He got the typical, fawning plaudits in a Q&A session with the audience after the film's screening, which closed the Sundance festival Friday. It's not hard to feel loved when questions from the audience are peppered with comments about the "fantastic" movie and the "amazing" cast.
But Kutcher, nonetheless, seemed a bit nervous. He swayed back and forth onstage during the Q&A and barely cracked a smile.
"This was honestly one of the most terrifying things I've ever tried to do in my life, because I admire this man so much. And I admire the way he built things," he said of the film, which will open in theaters April 19.
"I admire the fact that you're filming this with an iPad right now," he said to one audience member.
Indeed, there was no small degree of irony in the fact that the theater was filled with people on their iPads and iPhones. "This guy created the tool that we use every day in our lives," Kutcher said. "And he believed in it when no one else did."
Starting off with a scene in which Jobs unveils the iPod to appreciative Apple employees in 2001, the film then backtracks to the beginning of Jobs' career. The film omits the last decade of Jobs' life, when some of the most important Apple inventions came into being and when Jobs' legacy was cemented with the emergence of Pixar, which was acquired by Disney in 2006.
Although the film has its moments of idol worship -- the soaring, heroic music that plays when Jobs introduces the iPod is more than a bit over the top -- "Jobs" doesn't shy away from his incomprehensibly bad behavior toward his oldest child or his abuse of colleagues.
Kutcher, the star of CBS' "Two and a Half Men," admitted that it was tough to play an icon who remains "fresh in our minds."
"I've never seen Abraham Lincoln walk into a room," Kutcher said. "I've seen Steve Jobs walk into a room." Playing Jobs was a bit "like throwing myself into this gauntlet of massive amounts of criticism."
Indeed, Steve Wozniak, Jobs' partner in the early days of Apple, has already said that the one scene of "Jobs" he has seen was "totally wrong." Wozniak is a consultant to another Jobs film being written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network") from Walter Isaacson's best-selling book.
Director and co-writer Joshua Michael Stern ("Swing Vote") acknowledged that "these are really hard movies to enter because there's a lot of expectations." He said his goal was to give filmgoers "a feeling of what happened" and "finding the essence of who these people were." (There is a disclaimer at the very end of the credits saying portions of the film might not be completely accurate.)
When it came to casting Kutcher as Jobs, Stern said he "instantly knew that he was very invested in this role. I felt instantly that it was important to him on many levels."
Kutcher said he worked hard to get Jobs right. Not only did he watch 100 hours of film footage and listen to speeches he delivered, but hehe also lost "a tremendous amount of weight" to look more like the real Jobs.
He even tried Jobs' fruitarian diet -- which included just fruits, nuts and seeds -- but that didn't work out well. It "can lead to severe issues," Kutcher said. "I ended up in the hospital, like, two days before we started shooting the movie. I was doubled over in pain.
"And my pancreas levels were completely out of whack. Which was really terrifying, considering everything." (Jobs died of pancreatic cancer in October 2011.)
And, Kutcher added, "what was nice was when I was preparing for the character, I could still work on product development for technology companies, and I would sort of stay in character, in the mode of the character. I didn't feel like I was compromising the work on the film by working on technology stuff because it was pretty much in the same field."
Kutcher works closely with tech firms as a consultant and investor. Kutcher's A-Grade Fund -- cofounded with Los Angeles billionaire Ron Burkle and Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary -- has invested in an A-list of hot startups. Among them are Flipboard, Airbnb and video chat site Airtime, a collaboration between Napster co-founders Shaun Fanning and Sean Parker.
"Steve Jobs is a hero to me," Kutcher said. "He's a guy who failed and got back up on the horse. And I think we can all relate to that someplace in our life."

The L.A. premiere of the Quentin Tarantino film "Django Unchained" has been postponed, in deference to last week's school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and in this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event," a spokesman for the Weinstein Company, the studio behind 'Django," said in a statement. "However, we will be holding a private screening for the cast and crew and their friends and families."
The announcement comes just hours after Paramount Pictures postponed Tuesday's Pennsylvania premiere of Tom Cruise's new thriller "Jack Reacher." A Lincoln Center fundraiser with the actor in New York was also postponed.
"Due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken, we are postponing tomorrow's Pittsburgh premiere of Jack Reacher," the studio told Us Weekly in a statement. "Our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones."
Before the decision postpone the "Django Unchained" premiere was announced, Tarentino said during a press event in New that he's tired of defending his violent films every time America is rocked by gun violence.
"I just think you know there's violence in the world, tragedies happen, blame the playmakers," he said. "It's a Western. Give me a break."
