David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents

(i) Misstatement of circumstances: low-level strafing in Dresden.
1. The most authoritative book on the Dresden raids is by Götz Bergander, published in 1977 after almost two decades of research.7 Amongst his aims was to combat the many myths and legends which had come to surround the attacks. One such myth was the strafing of civilians and refugees by Allied fighters during the attack, an act most people today would condemn as a particularly despicable or even as a criminal act of war. Bergander points out that although other authors have cited witnesses for such an attack, Irving's is the last account in which any credence is given to the story. He then proceeds to disprove Irving's assertion that such low- level strafing of civilians took place, either by night or by day.8 Irving's documentation betrays his knowledge of the charge levelled at him.9
2. In his book Irving described the 20th Fighter Group's role in the American bombing of 14 February:
For this mission ... the Group was subdivided into two groups, denoted 'A' and 'B'.... 'A' Group pilots were briefed that as soon as the bombers' attack on Dresden was over they were to dive to roof-top level and strafe what were euphemistically referred to as 'targets of opportunity'.... Most of the pilots appear from eye-witness accounts to have decided that the safest attacking runs could be made along the Elbe river banks. Others attacked transport on the roads leading out of the city, crowded with columns of people. One 'A' Group P-51 of the 55th Fighter Squadron flew so low that it crashed into a wagon and exploded. The other fighter-pilots were, however, disappointed by the lack of opportunities for combat, especially the crews of the 'B' Group aircraft.10
3. Elsewhere in the same edition of his book (the Corgi paperback, published in 1966) Irving states as a matter of proven historical fact that:
it was the Mustang fighters, which suddenly appeared low over the streets, firing on everything that moved, and machine gunning the columns of lorries heading for the city. One section of the Mustangs concentrated on the river banks, where masses of bombed out people had gathered. Another section took on the targets in the Grosser Garten area.
Civilian reaction to these fighter-strafing attacks, which were apparently designed to perfect the task outlined in the air commanders' directives as 'causing confusion in the civilian evacuation from the east', was immediate and universal; they realised that they were absolutely helpless.
American fighters strafed Tiergartenstrasse, the road bordering the Grosser- Garten on the southern side. Here the remnants of the famous Kreuzkirche children's choir had taken refuge. Casualties on record here include the Choir Inspector, seriously wounded, and one of the choir boys killed. British prisoners who had been released from their burning camps were among those to suffer the discomfort of machine-gunning attacks on the river banks and have confirmed the shattering effect on morale. Wherever columns of tramping people were marching in or out of the city they were pounced on by the fighters, and machine-gunned or raked with machine gun fire.
[It is certain that many casualties were caused by this low-level strafing of the city, which later became a permanent feature of the American attacks.11 ] not part of quote need to amend!
4. Bergander's criticism of this account was devastating in its detail. Irving dates the strafing to the day of the 14th and attributes them to the Americans, but many witnesses likewise claimed to have been seen strafing during the British attack the night before. Bergander first explained how it was impossible that the British could have undertaken such attacks on the night of the 13th and exactly why many people may have believed that dive-strafing was taking place. He pointed out that there never would have been enough surplus fuel on such an extended flight over Germany to descend slowly, circle and then regain height. He noted that it would have been unthinkable to risk such valuable machines in low level-flying, at night, over unknown territory. Lancasters were long range-range bombers and unsuitable for such attacks; the smaller mosquitoes were used to drop the initial markers, and were likewise unsuitable for such attacks. Dresdeners who had not yet reached the safety of their cellars may well have seen the Mosquitoes at 300 meters drop their red markers. Finally, the practicalities of the situation made low-level strafing impossible. By all accounts the fire-storm threw immense heat and smoke into the air at great heights. To send planes into this cauldron to strafe civilians would have been pure folly.12

Green Day's "American Idiot" made the transition from Grammy-winning concept album to Tony-winning Broadway musical.
Now, Billie Joe Armstrong's brainchild has spawned a film, "Broadway Idiot," a highly polished documentary that recounts the creation of the musical from its conception to its debut at Berkeley Repertory Theatre to, eventually, a hit run on Broadway.
The film -- which got its world premiere Friday at the South by Southwest Film Festival, with Green Day in attendance -- is a moderately enjoyable ride that could appeal to both the band's legions of fans as well as Broadway buffs.
Armstrong is the star of the film, filling nearly every scene he is in with loads of charisma.
But where are the other band members? It would have been nice to find out what Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool thought of this whole process -- it is, after all, Green Day's "American Idiot," not just Billie Joe Armstrong's. Yet the two other band members make only cameo appearances in film.
In all, the film features too many interviews with folks saying the same things (summary: "We didn't know this was going to work") and too much behind-the-scenes material, and not enough music. The musical segments -- whether performed by the "American Idiot" cast or the band itself -- are what make "Broadway Idiot" worth your time.

This is the most awesome app ever. Since i've bought it, i've almost no trouble with choosing the right type. It lets me see the diferences between two fotns, compare than in variations and more other things that you can't eve imagine.
Highly recomended.
This is the first font manager I've used so I have nothing to compare it with. For me it does what it does well and looks great doing it.
I haven't experienced any sluggishness or import/export clashes but then again in recent years I've become a bit of a snob when it comes to fonts so I don't have the collection of hundreds of free fonts I used to.
Somehow this app managed to create a 500 MB folder in Library > Application Support.
And I only have a handful of extra fonts.
agree with sccottt. Too slow for large collections. FontExplorer is free.
Looks sooo nice, but I had to return to FontExplorer because Fontcase was so much slower to work with (with thousands of fonts) and I kept having font activation/deactivation problems.
it is released, & it IS a killer!
When released, this app would be a killer.

Just when it felt like it was time to remove the Cinderella crown from the A's, they go and lose three straight. They appeared ready to graduate from lovable underdog to legit World Series contender, but scoring 12 runs while batting .175 over a five-game stretch has delayed such an anointing.
They're still as formidable as they are lovable. But these next few weeks will be good insight as to whether the A's are real contenders or a sleeper squad with a pitcher's chance.
The A's looked every bit a favorite as recently as last week, when they became the first 30-win team in the major leagues. But they enter Sunday's series finale in Toronto looking to avoid a three-game sweep, looking to keep the hard-charging Angels at bay, looking to regain the rhythm that had them with the best record in baseball.
But cold bats and closer issues have the A's flirting with regression. The A's next 20 games are against teams currently above .500, including 12 on the road.
They are 0-3 in a stretch of 48 games in 52 nights before the All-Star break. When it's done, they will have played 18 games against Detroit, Toronto and the Giants -- all division leaders. Another 18 against the Yankees, Angels, Orioles and Marlins -- all in the thick of division races. Seven more against the Rangers and Red Sox.
If the A's reach the All-Star break still among the pacesetters in the American League, that's saying something. It may elevate this club to one of the most feared teams in baseball.
Even with the three-game skid, the A's have numbers that are elite. Their collective approach to run producing has turned a weakness into a strength before the recent slump.
Still, the A's lead the A.L. in runs, RBIs and on-base percentage.
The odd part about this run-scoring prowess is it comes after the A's spent their biggest chunks of change on pitching. They didn't go out and buy a big bat, yet their bats seem bigger.
The A's improved offense is a big deal because they still have the arms (closer issues notwithstanding). The continued growth of Sonny Gray and the addition of Scott Kazmir lead one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Even with pricey offseason acquisition Jim Johnson being a bust so far at closer, the A's still have one of baseball's best pitching staffs.
The A's lead the majors in batting average against, WHIP and opponents' OPS. Only the Braves have a better team ERA.
The result of top-notch pitching and great offensive production is this: the A's have outscored their opponents by 92 runs. Easily the best in the majors.
Now, we're about to see if it's all an early season fluke or evidence that the A's have taken it to a new level. If the bats remain cold against the stiff competition, if they can't figure out a reliable ninth-inning option on the mound, then maybe the feverish start was just a tease.
The prediction here is the A's will be fine. They will win more than their fair share when it's all said and done. What's important is maintaining the confidence they've shown to this point, especially at the plate.
At times this season, the A's have played with a swagger that suggests they know they can score at any time on anyone. The rhythm they had as a unit, the high-level execution of what they want to do at the plate, it seemed to create a psychological edge.
They can't lose that over this daunting stretch. For that could be the difference between an early ouster from the 2014 postseason and making a World Series run.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – On the heels of a 19-game road swing to start the season, the No. 15 University of Kentucky softball team is set to open the home portion of its 2013 schedule when it begins Southeastern Conference action this weekend with a three-game series against the Ole Miss Rebels. Admission to all three games is free of charge, while live stats and live video (subscription required) are available on UKathletics.com.
The series begins Friday with a 5 p.m. first pitch, followed by 1 p.m. start times on Saturday and Sunday. All three games will be played at the new UK Softball Complex, which is still undergoing construction but nearing completion. Friday's game will mark the first game played in the new $9.5 million facility. All times are Eastern.
Kentucky (16-3) is coming off back-to-back undefeated weekends in non-conference tournaments for the first time in school history, going 3-0 in the Coke Zero Spartan Classic two weekends ago before posting a 5-0 mark in the Under Armour Invitational last weekend. The Wildcats enter the weekend series against Ole Miss on an eight-game winning streak, which ties the longest in school history. This is the fourth time since the program started in 1997 that UK has won eight consecutive games in a single season.
The Wildcats' 16-3 start is the best 19-game start in school annals, breaking the 2011 team's 15-4 start to the season. UK has earned the strong start against a trying schedule, playing eight of its 19 games against teams that are currently ranked or receiving votes in either the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 or USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. UK has four wins over currently ranked teams in No. 6/6 California, No. 16/19 Washington, No. 18/19 Stanford and No. 23 Oregon State. The Wildcats have also defeated USC Upstate, who is receiving votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and USF, who is receiving votes in both polls. Cal and USF were participants in the 2012 Women's College World Series.
The strong start has moved Kentucky from unranked to begin the season to 15th in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and 17th in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25. The top-15 posting in this week's ESPN.com/USA Softball poll ties the highest ranking by the outlet in school history. The Wildcats were also ranked 15th nationally by ESPN.com/USA Softball on April 26, 2011. The highest ranking in school history was 13th in the 2012 USA Today/NFCA preseason rankings. All national rankings have come during the tenure of sixth-year head coach Rachel Lawson.
Junior pitcher/infielder Lauren Cumbess has paced the Wildcats offensively this season with a .373 (22-for-59) average, including a team-high 18 runs batted in. Senior infielder Kara Dill leads the team in hits with 24 behind a .358 (24-for-67) batting average and a team-best 21 runs scored. UK's power this season has come mostly from sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner, who leads the team with seven doubles and four homers. True freshman Maisie Steed is second on the team with three roundtrippers, while senior Alice O'Brien has added pop to the lineup with three doubles, one homer and 15 RBI. O'Brien has four sacrifice flies on the year, tying the school record for most sacrifice flies in a single season.
True freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunley has led the way for Kentucky in the circle, becoming the first player in program history to start a year with a 10-0 record. The native of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., has a 2.16 earned-run average on the year while leading the team in innings pitched (68.0) and strikeouts (55). In her six starts this season, Nunley is 6-0 with a 1.23 ERA, throwing 40 innings with 37 strikeouts and only seven earned runs.
Cumbess has also pitched well for UK, including a strong showing last weekend in Tampa, Fla., when she threw 12 innings, allowing three hits, two runs – one earned run – with 11 strikeouts. Overall this season, Cumbess is 4-1 with a 2.39 ERA, striking out 36 batters in 38 innings pitched. Opponents are only hitting .195 against Cumbess this season.
Junior pitcher Ellen Weaver is 1-2 on the year with a 4.45 ERA. Weaver's best outing of the year came two weekends ago when she threw five scoreless innings against Georgetown, allowing only one hit. The native of Salem, Va., followed that performance by going four innings against USF last weekend, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts.
UK has shown a will to win this season in close games, posting a 5-0 record in one-run games and a 4-0 mark in extra innings. From the sixth inning on this season, including extra innings, UK has outscored its opponents 30-5.
Ole Miss (16-9) enters the weekend on a three-game winning streak after going 4-1 in the UCF Holiday Inn Select Spring Fling last weekend in Orlando, Fla. The Rebels, who have won 12 of their last 13 games, have been jumping on teams early this season, outscoring their opponents 28-7 in the first inning. Ole Miss is 8-3 in neutral-site games this season, but 0-4 in true road games.
Junior outfielder RT Cantillo leads the team in average this season with a .426 (29-for-68) mark, including six doubles, one triple and three homers. Cantillo is second on the team with 19 RBI, while sophomore infielder Allison Brown leads the squad in that category with 21 RBI. Cantillo and junior first baseman Londen Ladner are tied for the team lead in homers with three.
In the circle, junior pitcher Shelby Jo Fenter leads the way for Ole Miss with a 5-5 record and a 2.75 ERA. Fenter leads the team with 61 innings pitched, allowing 24 earned runs with 60 strikeouts. Junior pitcher Carly Hummel is 6-4 so far this season with a 3.29 ERA in 55.1 innings, while Erinn Jayjohn is 2-0 with a 2.85 ERA in just 27 innings.
The Rebels and Wildcats have one common opponent this season in highly ranked Washington. Ole Miss lost to the Huskies 10-2 in the Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Classic in Hawaii, while UK defeated Washington 3-2 in the 23rd Campbell/Cartier Classic in San Diego.
Ole Miss leads the all-time series against the Wildcats 26-16. The two teams squared off in a two-game, midweek series last season in Oxford, Miss., with Kentucky winning both games. This is the first meeting between the two teams in Lexington, Ky., since 2009 when UK won the three-game series 2-1. The Wildcats are 8-3 against Ole Miss in Lawson's five-year tenure, while they are 8-11 against the Rebels all-time in Lexington.
The three-game set begins a five-game homestand for Kentucky. UK will have two non-conference games next week. The Wildcats will play host to No. 25 North Carolina on Tuesday, March 5 at 5 p.m. ET and Southern Illinois on Wednesday, March 6 at 3 p.m. ET.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Carson City, NV; September 14, 2012) -- New video presentations, now available on YouTube and Facebook, are reminding Nevadans that there is still time to register to vote online through the Nevada Secretary of State's online voter registration website, www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov. The videos include an appearance by television and Las Vegas stage star Holly Madison, who generously donated her time and efforts for the production, and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval. The videos are part of a multi-media campaign that includes outdoor and online media, and is funded by the Federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
"It was great to have Holly Madison provide some real star power to our television spot," said Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller. "We want Nevadans and Nevada's military members to have full access to the registration system, and the first step in participating in that system is getting registered. We've made that as easy as possible with online voter registration."
Nevada recently became one of just 10 states to offer online voter registration, which provides a quick and easy option for Nevada residents looking to register to vote. The Nevada Secretary of State's office now offers the option to register to vote online at www.RegisterToVoteNV.gov, or through the new voter registration Facebook app at apps.facebook.com/NVSOSNOVA.
"I want to encourage eligible voters in Nevada to register to vote before October 6," said Miller. "Online voter registration is convenient, easy and secure through our Facebook application and our website."
The Nevada Secretary of State's office has also collaborated with Nevada Libraries to provide access to online voter registration for residents who may not have easy access to a computer or Internet. For businesses that want to get involved, the Secretary of State's office has created a business tool kit that is available online at http://nvsos.gov/electioncenter/electioninformation. To register to vote online, citizens need to be at least 18 years of age by Election Day and have a Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driver's license or DMV-issued identification card. The application process pulls the signature on file with the DMV and applies it to the voter's registration record.
Registered voters can access their voting information at nvsos.gov/votersearch. From there, they can update their address or change their party affiliation without completing a paper application.
Residents have until 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6 to register by mail or online and Oct. 16 to register in person to vote in the November 6 general election.
For more information about registering to vote, visit the "Election Center" on the Secretary of State's website, www.nvsos.gov.

MARIETTA - The Washington County Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved leasing the mineral rights to 270 acres of property at the Washington County Home for deep-well drilling.
As part of a landowners association known as the Caywood Group, the county will lease the oil and natural gas rights in underground formations beneath the county home and surrounding properties to Michigan-based SGM Holdings Inc. at a rate of $2,550 an acre. The royalty amount will be based on whether oil or natural gas is produced.
The lease includes prohibitions against drilling and any other surface work on the 70 acres around the building itself.
"It was important from the beginning that the area around the county home, the building itself, be protected," Commissioner Tim Irvine said.
Irvine said he understood SGM planned to assign the lease to locally based Reed Energy.
Commissioners have not determined how the nearly $690,000 lease bonus payment will be used.
"We're researching several options of what to do with it," Commission President David White said.
White said he thinks of the payment as a "windfall" and believes it should be used in a special capacity, rather than as part of the regular budget.
"One of the options I wanted to research was to put it into a designated fund for capital improvements," he said.
County home administrator Ted Williams said he is "all for" the leasing and hopes it can become a source of revenue for the home.
The commissioners also voted 3-0 to approve an agreement with local attorney Jim Huggins to negotiate and prepare the lease documents. Huggins, who represents the other members of the Caywood Group, has been working and negotiating on behalf of the county.
"Today's resolution was to firm up how he's going to get paid for that," said county Prosecutor Jim Schneider.
Huggins will be paid $15 an acre, directly from SGM out of the county's bonus payment. If the property produces, he would also receive a portion of the royalties.
Germantown resident Cora Marshall, a former county commissioner, attended the meeting and questioned aspects of the lease, including how much insurance the company would carry, whether the county would be paid in a timely manner and whether a transmission line would be placed on the property.
"I'm here today because I am a concerned citizen about this acreage," she said. "This property is totally different from a rural property that doesn't have a facility that serves our residents."
The commissioners said the only line that would be on the property is one to connect it to material produced with other properties. A transmission line to move oil and natural gas over large distances is not part of the agreement, they said.
"There's no definite plan that there will be a line going across," White said.
Commissioners did not immediately have answers for Marshall about the other topics, but Irvine said after the meeting that the lease requires the company to have a minimum of $5 million of multiple types of insurance and that he understands the county will be paid by the summer.
Irvine added that the lease does not provide for any injection wells to be placed on county home property.
Marshall concluded by urging commissioners to thoroughly research the lease and do their due diligence. Commissioners said they'd discussed the matter at previous public meetings, and Schneider noted he had reviewed the documents. Although oil and gas is not his specialty, he said he consulted with other attorneys.
"I'm confident that the lease agreements I've looked at ... are not going to get the county into any difficulty," he said.

Most people would not know what to do with 3,000 wine corks. Andrew Berget spent 100 hours crafting a
6-foot-tall skier, complete with skis, poles and goggles. The statue sits in the entryway of The Shine Mine, the artisan jewelry store that Berget just opened with his wife, Stacey, in Breckenridge last month.
After admiring and snapping a picture of the cork skier, visitors to The Shine Mine descend a level of steps into the store itself. It's decorated to resemble a mine, with jewelry displayed near boxes stenciled with "Dynamite," stretched out over a sluice box or artfully arranged within an ore cart. The walls, though painted in colors much cheerier than an actual mine, have a rough texture and are segmented by wooden beams.
"We wanted to come up with something that reflected 1880s Breckenridge. That's where 'Shine Mine' came from," Andrew said.
The concept is to invite visitors down into the "mine" to discover the "treasure" available for sale, namely handcrafted jewelry made by Stacey.
Stacey first started working with glass artistically about seven years ago. She bought a kiln off craigslist with the intention of doing pottery.
"I was horrible at pottery," Stacey said with a laugh. When she learned she could use her kiln to fire glass, the reaction was instant. "Oh, I love glass!"
Though it started as a hobby, Stacey was soon selling her glass. The Shine Mine now serves not only as venue but workspace as well. A peek behind the counter allows a glimpse into a chaotic artistic mind - a table littered with glass pieces of various sizes and a multitude of colors, glittering just like the mother lode of an old-time mine.
The majority of Stacey's glass is made into jewelry - rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces - but she has other pieces as well, from wine glass charms and wine stoppers to cheese platters and full-size bowls.
In addition to shaping and cutting sheets of glass, Stacey takes whole wine bottles, fires them and presses them flat, creating platters or wall decorations. Some surfaces are molded into swirling shapes. Some bottles contain special kiln paper designs or decorative glass pieces flattened inside them.
Stacey does all her work by hand and does not use molds. That means that each piece is unique, whether in shape, size, color or all three. Even jewelry cut from the same glass will differ in some way. Stacey says her inspiration comes from within and she works from ideas inside her head rather than inspired by other people's designs.
"Sometimes I go into it knowing what I want to make," Stacey said. Other times, however, the glass seems to have a mind of its own and she just has to "go with the flow."
Andrew's medium is about as different from his wife's in almost every way. He fashions figures out of cork. The majority of his current work is inches-tall skiers and snowboarders.
The cork art started several years ago on New Year's Eve, when Stacey began making a wreath out of leftover wine corks. Andrew challenged her strategy and made his first skier in response.
"Each one of them has their own personality," said Stacey, of the various cork men scattered throughout the store.
Rather than look at pictures, Andrew said he works from memory, though Stacey said she'll occasionally find him posing in front of the mirror, trying to get a stance just right.
Each little figure takes from 17-25 corks to complete. Luckily for Andrew, ample materials aren't too difficult to come by and he often receives cork donations. A cork drive may occur in the near future, which is a good thing, as Andrew plans to add a life-size snowboarder to the company of his skier, a 6-foot-tall Christmas tree and 4-foot-tall wine glass.
Stacey and Andrew moved from Broomfield to Blue River in September 2012. Though they'd been living on the Front Range, they often came to Summit County to enjoy the natural beauty and various outdoor activities. Their son and daughter are both active skiers.
"We decided to have a midlife crisis," Andrew said as to why they decided to open The Shine Mine.
So far they said they are both happy with the move and are thrilled to be living in Summit.
"We decided to move to paradise," Stacey said.
The first thing they had to do was build up their inventory. After they moved in, Stacey said she spent almost two months working 12 hours a day to create enough of a variety of jewelry to display. She estimated the store currently holds 2,000-3,000 artistic pieces.
"It was like having a newborn," Andrew said of the store.
They agreed that business has been going well so far. They even have a friendly competition going on, keeping track of how many of Andrew's pieces sell compared to how many of Stacey's sell. So far though, they said it's about even.
"Some days are cork days," Andrew said, and Stacey continued, "And other days are jewelry days."
Mostly, however, they said they are proud to be selling unique items made by themselves or (in the case of a few pieces) by Colorado-based artists, which are all made out of materials obtained in the United States.
"We're proud of that too. We're not just made in America, we're made in Breckenridge - not in Asia," Andrew said. "All the ingenuity is from our hearts and our creativity ... which is the fun part."

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball team fell victim to a slow start against Sam Houston State on Thursday night, losing 3-1 (25-18, 25-12, 30-32, 29-27) to the Bearkats in Southland Conference action. The loss snapped the Islanders seven-match winning streak and moves SHSU into second place while the team falls to third in the league standings.
The Islanders (16-7, 8-3) were unable to avenge their loss earlier in the season against Sam Houston (14-9, 9-2) in Corpus Christi. The two teams were locked into a second-place tie heading into the match behind league-leading Central Arkansas.
Ivy Baresh led the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi attack with 15 kills, Brianna Brink had 12 and Brooke Alverson rounded out three Islanders in double digits with 11 kills. Logen Bourque had 46 assists on the night, while Baresh (15) and Bourque (13) each had double-doubles due to their dig total. Micah Nolan had a match-high 34 digs to pace the visiting team.
After a slow start in the first two sets where Texas A&M – Corpus Christi reached a tie score just five times total, the final two sets featured 35 ties and 10 lead changes as the Islanders battled until the bitter end.
In the third, the Islanders played catch up until tying the score at 9-9 on a Brink kill and taking a 10-9 lead on an Alverson attack. The lead was tied again at 12-12 when back-to-back points from Bourque followed an Alverson kill to make it a three-point advantage at 15-12. It expanded to as many as six at 20-14 following a Brink kill, but the Bearkats would claw back into it, sending it into extra points before Texas A&M – Corpus Christi would secure the set victory. Tied at 30-30, Baresh picked up back-to-back kills to finally end the marathon set at 32-30 and cut into the Bearkats lead at 2-1.
The final set was another tough one as both teams continued to battle, trading points back and forth to the tune of 20 ties and seven lead changes before Sam Houston closed out the match. With the score tied 9-9, the Islanders scored to take a one-point lead, and the two teams fell into a cycle of trading point for point until 16-16 when the Bearkats earned the slim lead. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi led by as many as three at 23-20, but they were unable to close it out and force a deciding fifth set. The Islanders led 27-26 before the Bearkats scored the final three points for a 29-27 win and a 3-1 match final.
The Islanders are off on Saturday because of Southland Conference scheduling, but they will be back in action next Thursday, Oct. 25 in Conway, Ark. to take on first-place Central Arkansas, and in Tulsa, Okla. on Saturday, Oct. 27 against Oral Roberts in the longest road trip this season in terms of distance.

A pair of Ashland High juniors will head to Portland next week for the Class 5A state wrestling championships after qualifying during the District 4 meet Saturday at Churchill High School in Eugene.
Ashland's Mason Montgomery dominated the 195-pound weight class, pinning both wrestlers he faced to claim the title, while Cody Eisenberg qualified for state at 220. Usually, wrestlers must finish in the top four to qualify for state, but Eisenberg, who placed fifth, will head to Portland in place of another wrestler who was injured at districts.
Montgomery, who is 36-0, pinned his first opponent then advanced to the final when his semifinal opponent forfeited. In the final, Montgomery pinned Zach Andruss of Redmond in 3 minutes, 58 seconds.
"He's wrestling very well," Ashland wrestling coach Tony Champion said of Montgomery, who placed third at state last season. "He's really matured as a wrestler. He's being much more patient, he's staying in good position …and he's in excellent condition, physically."
Champion added that Montgomery, who has "at least 25 pins," has yet to be taken down this season.
"He's always on the offensive," Champion said, "but he doesn't waste his shots."
Eisenberg pinned Michael Hageman of Bend in 1:15 in the fifth-sixth place match at districts, capping an up-and-down performance.
Champion believes Eisenberg should compete for a top-six finish at state. "If Cody wrestles like he can wrestle," Champion said, "he can have a really good showing at state."
The state championships are set for Feb. 22-23 at Portland's Memorial Coliseum.

Shourds and Kuntz had been terminated by the C.S.& K.T. Housing Board on February 5th. In a letter of notice of termination the board cited several reasons for the 4 to 1 vote of the board. Among them were; Vour continued attitude over the past four months has led to an intolerable situation whereby the operation of the Housing Authority has been placed in jeopardy/ The letter had been signed on behalf of the board by Vice Chairman Roger McClure. Chairman Archie Olson, who was the only member to vote against the termination, refused to sign the letter. He told the special Council hearing that, "I could not in clear conscience sign my name to the letter because I did not believe the reason s given to be true." He stated that Roger had been Director for about 31/2 years... and that the problems had not come about until the last couple of board members had been appointed. Shourds told the Council that he had requested the hearing not to reinstate himself as director, but to bring the problem out in the open. He said, " I am seeking employment elsewhere," "Under no conditions would I work with the present Board members." He further stated that if the four Board members were replaced he would give his assistance to the H.U.D. Program until a new director was chosen.

Global Collision, a collision repair service in Silverthorne, has recently expanded its facility by 6,400 square feet. The company purchased the former United Rental site and renovated the existing building.
Since 2003, Global Collision has started 10 different centers throughout Colorado, including the most recent one in Silverthorne. Its CEO, George Lilley, embodies the very spirit of the company. Hailing from Northern England, Lilley has spent years in the auto collision industry, studying and practicing collision repair practices in both Europe and the United States.
Global Collision's boast is that it repairs cars from around the world, from high-end luxury brands to the car of the every-day casual driver.
"We repair everything from Ford to Ferrari," said Lilley.
For all its reference to international and 'global' concerns, Global Collision pursues a solid local connection. Lilley has worked closely with the town of S'thorne in building the new expansion, and appears very interested in Summit County itself, both professionally and personally.
"I'm very committed to Summit County. It's a vibrant area," Lilley said, mentioning that he's planning on moving to Summit County in the near future.
"Global Collision has made a significant investment in Silverthorne with this project, and we are really pleased to see them expanding their operations in Silverthorne," said Mayor Dave Koop. "It's great when we see existing Silverthorne businesses experiencing success and growing as a result."
Currently, the Silverthorne Global Collision employs 15 people, but Lilley says he intends to hire more, and hire locally. The demand is there, as their expansion shows. Despite the economic downturn, Global Collision pushed forward, taking a more optimistic approach, unlike many companies cutting back. The strategy has certainly worked.
Another unique aspect of Global Collision is its commitment to the environment. Although no regulation requires it, the company uses waterborne paints when re-finishing and detailing repaired autos. Unlike more commonly used products, the waterborne paint produces fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.
The paint booths themselves look like scientific laboratories - completely white, with fans overhead, paint nozzles on the side and a filtered trench below. By the time the remaining waterborne paint has filtered out into the atmosphere, it is nearly dissolved and harmless.
Building the paint booths was costly, and required an inspection from the fire chief to assure safety. Even the waterborne paints cost more, but Global Collision obviously feels that the extra cost is worth it. The company recently won a bronze award from the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program for its environmentally friendly practices.
Global Collision hosted a grand opening event Wednesday, with demonstrations of repairs as well as the paint booths. Both Mayor Koop and state Rep. Millie Hamner were on hand to cut the ribbon.
Speaking with Lilley, it quickly becomes clear he is passionate not only about the industry, but about the company, the employees and the customers.
"Everybody can communicate, everybody is accessible," he said. "I don't like barriers between our people."
"To say that we're obsessed with quality would be an understatement."

LODI - The man suspected of shooting a woman to death in a car east of Lodi on Thursday afternoon, then turning the gun on himself, has died at a Sacramento hospital, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office reported.
The man, identified by the San Joaquin coroner as Kong Meng Her, 24, of Fresno, died about 6 p.m. Friday at the University of California, Davis Medical Center, where he had been undergoing treatment since Thursday's shooting on Kettleman Lane at Locust Tree Road.
Earlier, the coroner identified the female victim as Ka Ying Lor, 23, also of Fresno.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Lor and Her were girlfriend and boyfriend. Authorities believe Her shot Lor and then shot himself. No motive has been reported.
Deputies initially were called to the scene in a sparsely populated vineyard area about 4 miles east of Highway 99 about 12:30 p.m. Thursday on a report of a single-vehicle traffic collision. Upon arrival, they learned that paramedics had already discovered both Lor and Her in the car with gunshot wounds.
Anyone with information that would be helpful in the investigation is asked to contact the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400 or send a text message to 274637 and in the message area type SJSO, a space, and then your tip.

Hungary Recycles Disputed Anti-Abortion Ad
A controversial advertisement showing a fetus in the womb, originally meant to discourage abortions, is popping up across Hungary once again, this time promoting foster care.
Hungary's government wrote into the country's constitution, which went into effect in 2012, that "life is protected from conception." It ran a poster campaign in the hope of reducing the number of abortions in the nation that has seen its population shrink.
After the European Commission requested Hungary to stop the campaign, the fetus pictures were removed last year. The commission argued the campaign had been financed mainly using the European Union's money allotted to gender equality projects.
Now the photos are back to promote a foster care program financed by the Ministry of Human Resources. They irked non-governmental organization Patent, which says the campaign is unethical because it's telling mothers that abortion is murder even though the procedure is legal in Hungary. Moreover, the fetus in the picture is older than 12 weeks, the limit for abortions, it says.
The ministry said the advertisement promotes the protection of life and calls on women to consider the possibility of giving children to foster care instead of having abortions. It noted the picture was welcomed by many.
"More than 36,000 children are unborn in Hungary, which could indicate some pregnant women make a decision too easily, perhaps even automatically, to kill the fetus," the ministry said.
The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, a United Nations body, notes in a Jan. 28 report that the campaign's website presents itself as an information source for future parents, even though most of its content focuses on abortion and emphasizes possible complications, such as the post-abortion-syndrome, bleeding, bacterial infections, sepsis, removal of the womb, and cervix weakening.
The campaign has three other ads, focused on foster care, and the campaign itself has been successful among people considering becoming foster parents, its organizers say.
"The ministry advertisement aims to call mothers' attention to the alternative. It depends on one's personality on how one sees this message," said Janos Kothencz, president of Agota Foundation, which operates the campaign.
Hungary's population is on the decline, below 10 million, and the number of the young is even more worrisome. That's part of the reason why the government is aiming to boost fosterage. Apart from planning to increase the number of foster parents from the current 5,600, it is also working on easing administrative burdens and offering incentives to foster parents.

These days the Giants are drawing strength from a less risqué, though no less mystical, baseball ritual. Hunter Pence leads a pregame huddle in which players sometimes press into each other -- a Belt into Scutaro into Crawford into Romo -- to form one giddy, adrenaline-fueled pile.
Let's call it the Rally Throng.
"What are they like?" infielder Ryan Theriot said. "Have you ever seen 'Friday Night Lights?' It's kind of like that."
Silly as it sounds, these football-style pep talks -- like the legendary Rally Thong -- represent something larger about a team that won't lose. There is a bond that has helped the Giants walk the tightrope of elimination all the way to Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday. "A band of brothers-type thing," reliever Jeremy Affeldt called it.
The Giants reached this stage by becoming the first team to win six games in which a loss would have sent them home. The first of those was Game 3 in Cincinnati on Oct. 9, the night manager Bruce Bochy gave his troops a few words of wisdom in the clubhouse before the game.
That's when Pence cleared his throat.
"I just remember him saying, 'I have something to say,' " Affeldt said. "I didn't really think much of it."
And then?
"He just got loud. He got crazy. I thought he was going to start head-butting guys and all kind of stuff," Affeldt recalled. "I'm glad that he didn't."
Third base coach Tim Flannery posted the speech, which is already legendary, on his Facebook page. Among the highlights:
"Look into each other's eyes. I want one more day with you. It's the most fun, the best team I have ever been on, and no matter what happens, we must not give in. We owe it to each other. Play for each other!"
As Pence worked himself into a frenzy, others in the room sat in stunned silence. As reliever Javier Lopez recalled, "You don't know if you're supposed to sit back there with popcorn or start screaming and yelling."
Marco Scutaro started yelling.
Other players followed Scutaro's lead, and soon everyone was screaming. In essence, the Giants haven't piped down since.
They won three straight to snuff out the Reds, then overcame a three-games-to-one deficit to topple the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series.
And each win has been fueled by another oratorical adrenaline shot.
"The best way to describe it: There seems to be some excitement 30 minutes before it's time to go out on the field," catcher Buster Posey said. "Everybody knows we're going to go out there, and we're doing it together, and I think that's been helpful in winning these six games, because it's been a collective effort."
"When Hunter gave that unbelievable speech before that game, it really inspired everybody," reliever George Kontos said. "We realized what we were to accomplish here. Nobody wanted to go home."
The message never varies, but the intensity does. The Giants were fairly restrained for three games in St. Louis. Upon returning to AT&T Park for Game 6, the Giants got so hyped up during their dugout huddle that it looked as if they were ready to take on the Green Bay Packers.
Players crushed into each other in one huge huddle. Then, just for the heck of it, Sergio Romo began firing sunflower seeds over the happy union, like rice at a wedding.
As it turns out, sunflower seeds were the least of it.
"I got hit in the head with some coffee creamer," Theriot said. "It's wild, yeah. Those things are out of control.
"You kind of have to watch yourself. I try to stay on the outskirts. I don't want to get smoked with one of those Gatorade bars. Those things are hard."
The Giants admit their new routine is a bit of a shock to the baseball culture. Pence's speeches have been compared to those of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and even Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne.
But never to a ballplayer.
"That's what makes it unique," Pence said. "There's not a lot of rah-rah in baseball. But it seems to make us feel good, so I don't know. I can't really explain it."
Pence, of all things, struggled for words on Tuesday. Surrounded by reporters at AT&T Park, he was clipped in some answers. There was neither fire nor brimstone. Summing up his speeches, he said, "It's like, 'Win or go home.' It's just adrenaline."
It's because he needed a stage, and a moment. Teammates say his impromptu style is what makes things work.
"That's in the moment," general manager Brian Sabean said. "Sometimes you don't know where it's coming from. But it's not an act. It's genuine.
"And this group does play with a lot of emotion."
Just look out for that coffee creamer.

Topic: So very true...
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

You can stop worrying about the future of apps.
We're never going to run out of them, thanks largely to a young generation of app developers who are cranking out useful, trivial, ingenious and puzzling programs the way previous generations once created dance moves, mix tapes and graffiti masterpieces.
Every generation searches for a way to make its mark; a way to show that its members know something that those who came before don't. For the class of 2013 there is more than one form of expression, but there is also no question that one of the most powerful is app development.
"You could say the movie 'The Social Network' was for them what "Easy Rider" was for an earlier generation," says Milpitas High School teacher John Ribovich, who's run across app developers in his English classes. "It was just like a way to live."
So, we should be thankful that today's teenagers aspire to write code rather than ride choppers into a haze of New Orleans drugs and marijuana. But seriously, we should be thankful for much more than that. The app-ecosystem has provided high school kids with a different way to look at the world. It's a world of possibilities. A world where if you're smart enough and determined enough, you can do something -- today. A world where you don't have to settle for loading apps on your iPhone. You can build an app that thousands of others will load on their iPhones.
"One of the best things about programming is that you have the opportunity to help people out," says Luke Li, a Carlmont High School senior.
Li, 18, worked with Milpitas High student Jason Pugatch on the HypedMusic app, which lets people stream and share music on mobile devices. The two met on Facebook (naturally) after they joined a debate about Steve Jobs started by a mutual friend. In the subsequent back-and-forth, Pugatch complained about problems with his Spotify account.
"And Luke showed me his little music database at the time," Pugatch, 18, says. "I kind of saw the potential for what we could do with a music database on the Internet. I saw this vision of streaming music to iPhones for free."
The free app is in both Apple's (AAPL) App Store and Google's (GOOG) Play.
The Android app was a hit in Japan. Who knew? "They just started blogging about it and tweeting about it," Pugatch says. And the iOS version appealed to Europe. "Apparently some French blogger blogged about it and the other bloggers blogged and it just went viral," he says.
The fame is especially gratifying, because Li and Pugatch aren't in it for the fortune, at least not anytime soon. Like the other young app developers I talked to, Li and Pugatch see their early work as a way to get a feel for programming and to learn the craft.
"I get to learn a lot and I get to work with awesome people," says Pugatch, who calls Li "a genius kid." "I'm passionate about the project and I'm making a name for myself with the startup community really early in my career."
Pugatch sees college and maybe a computer science degree ahead -- and then a startup, for sure.
"I've always been inspired by these small projects having a huge impact on a certain market," he says. "You know, the generic Facebook story: a college kid in his dorm, working on a project that changes the world. Anybody with a laptop and some code can change the world."
It's a way of seeing the future that wasn't available to previous generations who spent their high school years filling gas tanks, flipping burgers and mowing neighbors' lawns.
"It's a totally different landscape," says Karen Thurm Safran of iD Tech Camps, a Campbell outfit that provides programming classes for teenagers nationwide. "When we were in school, we would get jobs that were baby-sitting or working as a waiter, busing tables. And now kids are just so tech savvy, that as long as they have the opportunity, they can learn these skills."
And so for Li, the future looks like MIT or Yale or maybe Stanford and a career in some branch of computer science. Who knows? He might end up working with Austin Bisharat, a Piedmont High School senior and iD alum, who developed "Ghost Attack," a mobile game available for the iPhone.
"I definitely want to be a computer scientist or a programmer in Silicon Valley as my career," Bisharat says. "I'm sure that's what I want to do."
Or maybe he'll team up with Kuriakose "Sony" Theakanath, a Bellarmine College Preparatory school junior who worked with another student to build an app to check on grades and school events. He's since created a quick way to upload screen shots to photo sharing site, imgur. And he's working on an app to answer one of life's truly vexing questions: when to wear pants.
"Weather is weird," Theakanath, 16, explains. "You don't know whether to wear pants or shorts." So, his app checks your location and the nearby weather. Then it uses an algorithm to deliver a verdict: pants or not.
Brilliant. And further proof that when it comes to apps, a new generation has us covered.

Simple and elegant mouse-based window management
Cinch gives you simple, mouse-driven window management by defining the left, right, and top edges of your screen as 'hot zones'. Drag a window until the mouse cursor enters one of these zones then drop the window to have it cinch into place. Cinching to the left or right edges of the screen will resize the window to fill exactly half the screen, allowing you to easily compare two windows side-by-side (splitscreen). Cinching to the top edge of the screen will resize the window to fill the entire screen (fullscreen). Dragging a window away from its cinched position will restore the window to its original size.
If you prefer a keyboard-centric approach to window management, you might also take a look at our other products SizeUp or TwoUp. Use Cinch together with either SizeUp or TwoUp to cover both your mouse and keyboard needs.

Sorry for the error, its bettertouchtool that does the same job for free, not Mac OSX. Sorry again for my misleading comment.
my OS version is: Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573)
I didnt enabled it in any way, I only updated to the latest version by clicking on the apple logo on the top left corner, then "software updates" or whatever is called in english, then updated everything and thats it. After doing all this i noticed that i could do the same that cinch did but natively. just drag any windows to the sides of the screen and the will resize. Sorry, but i cant be more specific, i only updated and my macbook just started to do "cinch stuff" natively.
@carlos_martinez I have no idea what you're talking about... care to elaborate? Where are the settings? How do you enable this feature in Snow Leopard?
bkhl, if you have Snow Leopard just update it to the latest version and unistall cinch.
With the new update this app is useless, now Mac OSX can do this natively.
One of those applications that you really miss when it's not running. Well worth the $7!
Thank you, Irradiated Software -- functionality exactly as described and reliable so far. I really like the animation for showing the perimeter of where the window will resize to.
using this with assistive devices turned on has made my itunes behave strange in the itunes column browser. If I scroll down and select an artist, as soon as I move the cursor, it jumps back to the top of the list. But once i turned off cinch it worked fine again, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2216255&start=0&tstart=0

Behind-the-Scenes: Making Hong Kong's 'Happy' Video
Warning: Pharrell Williams's latest music video is contagious. In it, the foot-tapping song "Happy" is brought to life with people taking turns to dance on the streets of Los Angeles, seemingly without a care in the world.
Released in early December, the video has already inspired copycats in Paris. Now it has caught on in Hong Kong:
The original version, a 24-hour interactive music video produced by Clement Durou and Pierre Dupaquier of We Are From L.A., is made up of 400 ordinary people showing off their dance moves. Hidden among them are Magic Johnson, Steve Carell, Kelly Osbourne, Tyler, the Creator and others. Pharrell appears 24 times, at the top of every hour. Scrolling around the 24-hour clock, viewers can seamlessly skip around to different times and locations, without interrupting the flow of music. If you don't have a day to spare, you can catch the four-minute cut.
The video is shot simply, with each dancer filmed in a single take using just one steadicam. The approach inspired freelance video reporter Hélène Franchineau, 29, to do her own take.
"I loved the concept and thought it was a great way to showcase a city," she said. "I thought, why not do the same with Hong Kong? It is a very visual city."
With the help of freelance videographer Edwin Lee and a couple of friends as assistants, Ms. Franchineau shot Hong Kong's version of "Happy" in dozens of locations over 10 hours with more than 60 dancers. From the Happy Valley race course to Maxims dim sum restaurant to the neon lights of Mongkok, the dancers turned heads wherever they were filmed.
Several WSJ editors caught the dancing bug. Below, they shared their experiences of being in front of the camera.—Diana Jou
Maya Pope-Chappell, Social Media & Analytics Editor
When I first heard about a "Happy" video being shot in Hong Kong, I assumed that Pharrell Williams would be there in the flesh. I envisioned steadicams, lights and Skateboard P fitted in a quirky button-down shirt, shorts and Vans sneakers.
I headed to the city's Yau Ma Tei district to meet Diana Jou, a multimedia editor at the Journal, but Pharrell was nowhere to be found. That's because this was a remake of his "Happy" video—a Hong Kong take on the one that had already been created in Paris.
My excitement deflated, giving way to nervousness. Did we really have to dance?
"Yes, of course!" Diana said.
As we walked over to the fruit market where a portion of the video was going to be shot, I began to wrap my mind around the prospect of dancing in the streets among complete strangers. Somehow, the randomness of the idea delighted me.
Next thing I knew, I was dancing on the sidewalk alongside oranges, durians and leafy vegetables. People were staring, holding up their phones to record the flash mob composed of a camera crew, a guy in a horse mask, Diana in a Chinese opera mask and myself, hands up in the air, feet shifting from side to side, moving to the beat without a care.
At one point, we danced around a red taxi that was pulling out of a park. The driver just smiled.
After the four-minute song ended, I realized my nervousness had disappeared. Instead, I felt exhilarated, out of breath and, sure enough, happy.
Thomas DiFonzo, Multimedia Editor
I arrived at 1881 Heritage, a shopping mall complex converted from a former marine police headquarters, dressed in a purple jumper and yellow socks. I'd only listened to Pharrell's "Happy" a handful of times, but to take part in a video while dancing against the backdrop of Hong Kong's amazing streets was just too good a proposition to turn down.
My slot included six people, and I was the first one up. The director, Hélène, asked me to approach a group of students posing in their graduation gowns and encourage them to start dancing with me. They did!
That helped take the focus away from me, but it only lasted for a minute. Moments later I was directed to break away, leaving me alone to glide through crowds of shoppers. I concentrated on moving in time to music I couldn't hear properly while at the same time looking happy — very, very happy.
At the very least, I hope to have entertained a few people that day.
Diana Jou, Multimedia Editor
Hong Kong is one of the most cinematic cities out there — just ask Wong Kar-wai. It contains two contrasting worlds: grimy, dimly lit market stalls and the most extravagant shopping centers. I couldn't pass up the chance to dance around the 100-year-old Yau Ma Tei fruit stalls.
I asked Maya [Pope-Chappell] to be my partner-in-crime. I brought with me a mask inspired by the painted faces of Chinese opera singers. It's bright pink and it has the ultimate sad face. It was the perfect odd prop for this video.
We started the song off with Maya leap-frogging over my head. Then we went full-out dancing despite not being able to hear the song very well. At one point I took off my mask and did a cartwheel. A Hong Kong taxi backed into our dance space, so we took it as a chance to drum on the hood of the car.
Everywhere we went, we found people looking at us, smiling, some even laughing. It's true what they say about happiness. The key to being happy is making others happy, and there's no better way than dancing in the street.
Henry Williams, Multimedia Editor
I can't dance.
I know this because I spent my weekend gyrating (there is no better word for it) along the shoreline of the West Kowloon Cultural District. My dance partner, Wendy Tang, a fellow journalist, looked amazing in her finest red Chinese dress. I was dressed in a red checked button-down shirt, and blue jeans. I stood out, at least. Red is meant to be lucky in China – I was certainly lucky that I didn't fall in to the sea, but that's about as far as my luck went.
Wendy and I began our routine almost immediately after arriving by the water. Having watched Pharrell's "Happy" the day before, I was confident I knew what I had to do: dance for about five seconds, look happy, and mime along to the music. It was not to be: I had to dance for the entire length of the song – over four full minutes!
I definitely can't dance.
Trying to look cool, we began walking along the pier with the camera just about 10 feet in front of us. We tried spins, jumps, and extravagant hand gestures. We finally got ourselves in a rhythm with each other, did one more jump, and then the music stopped. Too late to be cool.
I probably shouldn't dance again.
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video:

Correction: 1881 Heritage is the name of the shopping mall complex converted from a former marine police headquarters. A previous version of this post incorrectly called it Heritage 1811.

I'm Not History As You Drunk I Am
Possibly the only downside to "Drunk History," which premieres on Comedy Central on June 9 at 10 p.m., is the threat of a history hangover, which, co-creator Jeremy Konner warns, is doomed to keep repeating itself. The half-hour comedy show, stepping up to television after a few years of million-view clips at FunnyOrDie.com, seems like it's worth the risk.
The basic idea of "Drunk History" is that a person downs a bottle of scotch or six vodka cranberries or an otherwise inebriating volume of alcohol and is videotaped recounting a detailed, true account from American history. The actors and comedians who drunk-storytell aren't famous, but the genius is that their off-kilter lectures become voice-overs for reenactments by all-star comic actors in full costume. The eight-episode debut TV season will include reenactments by Connie Britton, Kristen Wiig, Will Forte, Jack McBrayer, Bradley Whitford, Aubrey Plaza, and Luke and Owen Wilson, among many others. The first episode focuses on stories based in Washington: the Watergate scandal, the Lincoln assassination, and Elvis Presley's historic White House meeting with President Nixon. So when drunk storyteller Eric Edelstein (absinthe) recites dialogue he imagines was uttered between Elvis and President Nixon, his lines come out of the mouths of Jack Black (Elvis) and Bob Odenkirk (Nixon).
Storytellers do brush up in advance on historical events that they're passionate about, but they don't cheat on the drinking.
"No one half-assed it. Everyone fully committed," says co-creator Derek Waters, who serves as on-screen drinking buddy/interviewer. The drink-and-tell taping sessions can last four or five hours. A medic and a Breathalyzer are kept on the set.
Once actors get their hands on the narrative material, they fully commit too, and they can be very literal. In the very first Web episode, drunk narrator Mark Gagliardi describes the Aaron Burr – Alexander Hamilton duel, and he accidentally says "Alexander Hamilton shoots Alexander Hamilton" before correcting himself. In the re-enactment, Michael Cera as Hamilton briefly puts his pistol to his own head, confused about why.
And if a drunk narrator happens to throw up while describing the historic actions of a famous person (these things happen), the vomit might find its way into the reenactment. It's a nice touch.
"I'll never find vomit funny," Waters says. "But I do find it funny when someone gets sick but is still passionate about telling you the story." Besides, showing storytellers barfing adds verisimilitude, countering skeptics who think the storytellers might just be playing drunk. "If you think it's fake, here you go," he says.

DENVER -- Before the game, coach Mark Jackson said he wouldn't go as far as saying starting center Andrew Bogut gives the Warriors an advantage against the Nuggets. Denver is a fast-paced team and that's not Bogut's game.
"He was huge protecting the paint on the defensive end," point guard Stephen Curry said. "There were a couple breakdowns where he saved us at the rim, getting a couple blocks and fueling our fast break. And he made big buckets down the stretch for us."
The Warriors' defense did a number on the league's highest scoring team, and Bogut was at the center of it. He finished with nine points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and served as a 7-foot Australian mountain the Nuggets had to shoot over.
Bogut was especially instrumental in the fourth quarter. He played all 12 minutes, converting three baskets inside, grabbing five rebounds and blocking two shots. He was clearly a difference maker for Golden State.
"Yeah, somewhat," said Bogut, who was a victim of a YouTube-quality dunk by Nuggets center JaVale McGee. "Defensively especially. I just tried to rebound. They're tough. They run the floor very, very well.
The Warriors were able to slow down the Nuggets transition game. Denver ended up with 52 points in the paint -- coach George Karl said before the game the goal was 60 -- and 14 of those came on fast-breaks. Denver 21 of 43 in the paint (48.8 percent) in a half-court setting.
"Having him healthy and having him present down on the block is big for us going forward," Curry said. "We'll continue to use him on the offensive end and he's going to be a presence on the defensive end."
