OK.... just a followup.... I confirmed I have the latest JAVA... went ahead and downloaded the latest snapshot, replaced the JAR file.... fired it up.... went to the bathroom.... got a beer... drank the beer... started scrolling through pictures and videos and the problem with "corrupted data" is GONE.
Thinking I was a cheap drunk...
So I started thinking... either:
a) the latest snapshot did the trick
b) I accidentally let the PS3 finish loading the ENTIRE directory BEFORE I clicked on a picture or video.
Too tired right now to figure out if it's a) or b)
It works... although it takes forever.... like 5 or 6 minutes to load the entire directory list.
Now I know why I kept reading posts about people breaking up their directories into smaller pieces. That would solve the slow loading (for one directory anyway) AND get rid of the "corrupted data" at the same time. One possibility anyway. Could also be the latest snapshot is somehow better.

Community change can be accomplished through broad participation and collaboration. We encourage McPherson County residents to be involved with their community through giving, advocating and volunteering. By working together we can make a larger impact on the issues at hand.
On quiet, calm holiday evenings I enjoy a cup of hot tea. I appreciate the variety of tea flavors available, with my favorite being peppermint. The subtle candy cane flavor brings memories of the striped treat hanging on my family tree.
I also recall my mother preparing a batch of "Friendship Tea," which she shared with friends and neighbors for several years during the holidays. The customary Russian tea boasts flavors of a hot fruity punch. The following recipe is an instant version, not quite as fruity but definitely refreshing. Spice up someone's holiday season this year by making a batch!
Russian Friendship Tea
1 ½ cups sugar
2 cups instant Tang orange drink
½ cup instant iced tea
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground allspice
½ tsp. ground cloves
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. To make a hot beverage add 3 teaspoons mixture to an 8 oz. mug of hot water.

(Here are the rules and how to enter if you'd like to join in.)
Asian Cabbage Salad with Sesame Seeds
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe adapted from the original South Beach Diet Book.)
6 cups green cabbage, sliced in strips (about 1/2 large head of cabbage)
2 T sesame seeds, toasted
2 T peanuts (or more)
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T rice vinegar (don't use seasoned vinegar, which contains sugar)
1 T sesame oil
1 T agave nectar (can use honey but agave nectar is lower on the glycemic index)
1/8 tsp. Thai Chili Garlic Paste (or use a few drops of your favorite hot sauce)
1/8 tsp. grated ginger (I used ginger puree from a jar)
(When I made this there were no leftovers, so I'm not sure how well it will keep in the fridge, but I'm guessing it's best freshly made.)
South Beach Suggestions:
This salad is a perfect side dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet. It would taste great with something like Grilled Ginger Soy Pork Chops or Grilled Fusion Chicken.

BRENTWOOD — A 47-year-old man has been indicted on charges he sexually assaulted a young girl in Northwood multiple times over a period of two years.
Prosecutors say Eddy James Folland engaged in a pattern of sexual assault against the girl beginning on or about March 2010, when she was 11, and continuing through 2012.
Folland, of Northwood, is currently incarcerated at the Rockingham County House of Corrections. He was indicted by a grand jury this month on three charges of felonious sexual assault on a person younger than 13 and a felony charge of aggravated sexual assault.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather, it signifies that a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Northwood police did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the case.

Tryon artist featured in exhibit
Published: Sunday, May 18, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 16, 2014 at 4:28 p.m.
"Keith Spencer: Grounded in Color" opens at Skyuka Fine Art with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, 133 N. Trade St., Tryon. The show runs through June.
Spencer's newest body of work immerses the viewer in an unexpected and refreshing experience of color.
In "Grounded in Color," intense local color as well as abstractions of those colors are abundant. Spencer's creative license is daring and gutsy with results that are full of life and energy.
"A big part of the creative process for me is continuing to grow and experiment. This latest body of work is very much in that vein," he said.
"Using mainly local landscapes as inspiration and subject matter, many of these paintings are the result of asking myself 'What if I try ...?' The unifying concept in my work is an effort to present the viewer with a sense of the feeling of a place.
"Why does Tryon feel different than Saluda?" Spencer continues. "They are both small mountain towns, but I think most people would agree they feel different. Rather than rendering the details of the elements in a landscape, I try to reduce it to elemental shapes and colors. In that way the work becomes as much about the paint as the subject."
Spencer's paintings can be found in galleries throughout the United States and Europe. He has been described as "both an expressive painter and a true colorist" by William Kortlander, professor of art at Ohio State University.
His landscapes are frequently done in the alla prima tradition (one sitting) and feature North Carolina and South Carolina and specifically Tryon, where he now lives. He is included in the book by Edward Emory and Stephen Stinson called "Artists Among Us: 100 Faces of Art in Spartanburg" available at Barnes & Noble.

Movie piracy is the next big thing. The RIAA is quickly realising that their reputation is nearly beyond unrecoverable, after taking to court single mums, dead people, and children. In the meantime, in Australia they are having secret meetings to try and work out a way to prevent movie privacy. The solution is simple: to kill movie privacy, allow people to download movies, make it cheap, and make it easy. Yes it's hard. But yes, it's rewarding.
A look at the past (and the present)
The music industry has been trying to prevent people from copying things from day 1. At the beginning, there were vinyl records. Yes, there were tapes -- but copying them was less than ideal (did you ever try to make a copy of a copy of a copy?). Technology moved on, and the music industry timely tried their best to kill them. How many people know that Mini disks and Digital cassettes were available in the early nineties, and you could digitally record your music using them? Yes, there was a war of technologies trying to become the "next big thing", and the winner was... the music industry: both standards died, succumbing a tactical attack from the music industry. The entertainment industry won.
When CDs became famous, the price of an vinyl LP was around $8. Even in 1995 to 1998, when LPs were still anything but rare, the price was around $12. When CDs came around their prices was much higher: around $30 (the current price is $35-$45). They justified it with "investment costs" needed for buying the equipment to print CDs. But, prices never went down -- at all. The entertainment industry won.
When copying a CD became easy, in a lot of countries the music industry managed to pass laws where the cost of a CD would go up immensely. It's called Private Copying Levy. I was in Italy at the time, and the price of an empty CD went from 4 cents to 80 cents. It's not without horror that I see that when you buy a hard drive in Finland, you might be paying up to 10 Euros as a Private Copy Levy -- and probably have no music on the hard disk at all. The entertainment industry won.
The Internet came. It was 1995 when it became popular, and it was slow. It was however fast enough for people to get multimedia contents online, if it were available (and that was a big if). It was impossible to buy songs online (impossible!). A lot of people wanted to download music, wanted to do it easily, and wanted to do it now. They couldn't. The same applied to movies: it was impossible to buy movies online (impossible!). A lot of people wanted to download movies, easily, and now. They couldn't. The entertainment industry won.
Steve Jobs came along. It played hardball with the music industry, created iTunes. He made sure there was a cheap, easy, universal way to buy music, legally, free of DRM (copying restrictions). He opened up a world where people could pick a song, pay 99c for it, and have the full quality MP3 available -- and even download it again if they needed to. The entertainment industry was forced to discover a huge revenue model it had ignored for so many years. They had to win for the world to win. The entertainment industry won.
The Internet became fast. And yes, welcome to today. You can buy music online, but good luck if you are after a movie. Renting a movie online from bigpond is complicated, expensive, and it even requires the installation of an obscure program in order to download and watch movies (Windows is definitely supported, I am not sure about OS X, forget about anything else). The range is poor at best. Getting one from Quickflix is a joke (they post you the DVD? Plus, most of the more interesting things are not available as streaming). People today still want movies, want them easily, want them now. When a lot of people want something, and cannot get it, then you get a lot of people with an objective. That's the key ingredient for what you call a revolution. The revolution happened. The music industry lost.
An army of illegal downloaders
The problem is that most people don't want to spend hours looking for a specific song on peer-to-peer networks. Most people would rather pay a little bit, and have the song available in seconds. And, in the meantime, also have it available again if they lose their iPods or music players. They might not have the skills to do it, the time, or the inclination.
The same applies to movies: finding a good copy of a movie on peer to peer networks can be, and in fact often is, a pain in the neck. It's possible, but it's hardly a good solution.
As far as music is concerned, people had to learn to do that. Until rather recently, there was no way to buy a song online. As clunky and inconvenient it might be, inexperienced users had to learn the tricks and the sometimes intricate ways to get music online. Since there was so many of them, the music pool soon reached what I like to call a critical mass: the whole world became a sort of a virtual community of people who got together to solve a problem. These weren't people who could get something for free, and wanted to pay for it instead. It was people who had no other way to get what they wanted (and that's music online, rather than by using CDs). Eventually, the iTune store appeared; so did the Amazon store; so, all those customers who hadn't yet discovered the world of free online music started buying songs from music store. A multi-million dollar market was created -- a market which was, in my unbacked and unverifiable opinion, crippled by the fact that many people had already learned how to get free music when there was still no choice.
The same thing happened with movies. In fact, you can read the whole section above, and apply it to movies and TV series. With a difference: it's 2012, and it's still impossible to download movies legally, cheaply and easily. The movie industry seems to be going bananas: tired of being the villain of the situation, suing single mum and children, they are now threatening governments and ISPs. The more time goes by, the more people turn to BitTorrent and other "illegal" ways of downloading movies. All those people are non-returning customers: they learned the convoluted ways of finding a movie, and are not going to be convinced to pay for them again. Not even if it's $1. The entertainment industry is losing customers every single day, and they seem to be doing absolutely nothing about it.
Music and movies: how much should they cost?
I want to make a point here: music and movies are inherently different. A song is something you will tend to enjoy multiple times. (If you are obsessive compulsive like me, you will end up listening to the same songs over and over again!) Movies are different: once you have watched them from your computer, they tend to be put into a folder, until they rot and deleted to make space for the next backup.
We now have a market where the established price of a song is about $1 and a movie costs $20 (whereas having it in streaming is around $4, give or take).
These prices are insane. I am in no position to lecture about prices, but I can do the maths: I can see a movie for $9; I get a good seat, a big giant screen, and somebody to clean after me when I leave. I could rent 2 movies for $3 from movie rental places (OK, not the new releases, but still). So, why -- please tell me why -- would I pay $4 to get a movie streamed, and $20 to own the file?
Or, why would I pay more than $1, which is a little less of what I used to pay at the video store? (Mind you, no transport necessary with online streaming.)
The solution
The solution is complicated. There are tons of movies out there, owned by different companies in different countries, released at different times. There are several technologies available to see them. And there is evil DRM. This is complicated further by a huge army of angry people who are sick of waiting for the movie industry to get their act together and started doing it themselves (see movies via BitTorrent).
So, where is the solution?
- Create a multi-tier system where major studios can make movies available to distributors
- Allow "distributors" to pop up and compete with each other while paying royalties to the copyright holders
- Make sure that at least one of these distributors is platform-independent (no silly "downloader" to install on Windows, for example)
- Make sure pricing can be as flexible as possible, so that distributors can charge a recurrent fee or a fee based on watched minutes etc.
- Make sure it's always possible to download the movies "bought" by paying an extra small fee
- Spend money in cinemas educating people about this system rather than silly ads against "piracy" which will simply invite more users to download movies for free
- Make sure that prices are very reasonable: $1 for a movie, 50c for a series episode
- Create a community around movie downloads: for each movie, allow commenting and discussions.
- Do all this soon. Like very soon. Before your whole customer based gets used to downloading movies for free.
It's nearly too late. But then again, it's never too late. This is a realistic solution that will get you, the studios, to make millions. It will stop people from learning how to get movies for free. It will create a healthy community of people watching movies.
Historically, televisions shows have made money through advertising, using ratings to gauge the value of shows/time-slots. I wonder how many people would download 'legal' episodes that include commercials. Estimating the number of downloads of a certain file should be more accurate than previous methods. The transaction costs of millions of 50 cent purchases may become prohibitive. Furthermore, with a download, there is a possibility of the episode being re-watched, possibly doubling (or more) the exposure to the commercials. Rather than charging for the shows, would adding commercials not be a more viable option.
As for one dollar movies, perhaps charging a bit more would be acceptable. For a big blockbuster movie to break even under this system the would have to sell ten millions of downloads perhaps extending into the billion dollar range.
tier, not tear
Interesting idea, but there's a better business model available.
Amazon.Com is sort of following the model that you suggest but charging much more for it. I'm certainly not willing to pay $80/year plus an additional $3/month just to watch a 30 year old film! (Look up Romancing the Stone on their site for one such example)
For me, the need to own a copy of a movie or TV show is much less important than it used to be as long as I can stream what I want to watch at any time for a reasonable cost. Several companies here in the U.S. are exploring ways of doing that now. Better yet, you can do so on several different platforms.
Netflix (http://www.netflix.com) has a decent sized and growing repository of movies and TV shows available for streaming for just $8 a month. So far as I can tell, it's roughly 20-30% of their total available library of DVDs.
The only major Hollywood studio that is currently releasing first run movies through Netflix is the Starz! consortium, but that's not Netflix's fault. They're doing the best that they can with the material available. OTOH, Netflix does have a pretty good selection of older movies and foreign films if you're into that kind of thing.
Then there's HuluPlus (http://www.hulu.com). For another $8/month, you can watch first run TV shows (plus a small collection of movies) that most of the major U.S. OTA TV networks own distribution rights for. The only one that refused to join is CBS, which means that first runs of a handful of good shows like the Big Bang Theory aren't available. But guess what? It's available on Neflix one season behind so it's not THAT much of a loss.
Those two services barely begin to scratch the surface of what's available either cheaply or for free, though. Crackle (http://www.crackle.com) has a tiny repository of movies (about 300), but it's free. They use embedded commercials instead of a subscription model. Then there's stuff like all the major news outlets, specialty channels covering outdoor sports, tech, music, public domain archives of old movies and TV shows, you name it available.
Better yet, there's at least one vendor out there who has figured out how to package all of this stuff in one fairly easy to use interface. I'm speaking of Roku (http://www.roku.com). For just $50 (including shipping) you can buy their low end unit, plug it in, and have access to more than 300 online sources playing at 720p. (The list of sources includes everything that I've mentioned above, btw.)
For just $90 you can get their top end unit which includes full 1080p playback (if the source supports it), an Ethernet jack in addition to the wireless b/g/n NIC, USB port, a microSD slot, and a full version of Angry Birds. They've got a couple of intermediate models, too, but I don't think they differentiate all that much.
One way that Roku has grown their channel list so quickly is that they encourage people to create and publish their own, so-called private channels. As Roku verifies that those channels work well and don't infringe any copyright holders' rights or Terms of Service of the online providers, they get added to the list that everyone sees.
To me, this is a much, MUCH better way to consume movies and TV than renting individually. Nor do I have a desire to create a huge collection of DVD ISOs any longer. I can instead just focus my purchases of physical media on the really hard to find stuff that I really like. In the meantime, I can finally sit down and watch the entire run of Stargate SG:1 for the first time since it first started running. (Currently at episode 104 out of 213! :-) )
Roku's not the only player in this space. There's Apple TV, Boxee, and others. Roku is currently the number one provider for a reason, though. I think it has the best combination of price, convenience, ease of use, and selection currently available.

'Pretty Little Liars,' Season 3, Episode 17, 'Out of the Frying Pan Into the Inferno': TV Recap
The parental units are on high alert as the adults check in on the world of the teenagers with Mona back in the halls of Rosewood High School. The Moms and Dads played a bigger role in this week's episode of "Pretty Little Liars" than Mona.
Pam comes bearing gifts for her daughter. Inside a box, Emily finds memorabilia and correspondence involving Allison. In the box there's also a notebook that grabs her attention.
Over in the household of another PLL, Ms. Marin checks in on Hanna, who has injured her hand, and mom tries in to find out what might be going in high school. Ms. Marin wants to know if Hanna is safe at Rosewood High School now that Mona is back. She's concerned that Mona may be causing trouble.
Aria and Byron are concerned about Meredith, who they learn has a history of problems much like, say, many of the cast members.
Later on, the ladies turn into forensic experts, and examine the handwriting from the notebook found in the box delivered to Emily. The "grandmotherly" handwriting and mentions of Toby draw puzzled looks from the ladies at they try to examine the origins and motivations behind the notes. Who is the friend?
Back at school, Hanna overhears a conversations between Caleb and Paige that identifies the two as the perps behind the brain in the locker earlier in the scene. It seems the two attempted to frighten Mona, but as a hoody potential killer it did nothing.
In a flashback, Allison visited Toby while he was locked in juvenile detention center. Toby sporting a do-rag is seen in the scene wishing for revenge against the "posse." No hoodies in juvie? It's then that –in the present–a tearful Spencer reveals to Emily that she and Toby are no longer a couple.
Spencer in a bit of rage goes to confront Ezra and mistakenly blurts out the secret about his child. Oops. A shocked Ezra heads to school to ask Aria why Spencer was talking about Maggie and why did she disclose that he has a son. The exchange between the two demonstrates this a serious matter that might bring their relationship to end because, well, the trust is gone.
Spencer expects a tongue lashing from Aria after the mix-up regarding the great baby revelation. But, Aria is calm because she's aware of the great big setup that led to the incident that put her relationship with Ezra in jeopardy.
In a flashback scene, we learn that Ally was two weeks late and suspected she was pregnant.
Emily comes bearing the news of the unconfirmed pregnancy of Allison, and the ladies begin to wonder if this is a lot bigger than a key.
Emily heads to the police station to give her mother the notebook. A pale Spencer spends some time in the car crying over Toby, but with mascara and lip gloss on deck, she's prepared to carry on as if everything is fine despite the breakup.
After Emily turns in the notebook, the ladies discover that the detective was also in Cape May the summer Allison may have allegedly been pregnant.
Hanna gets in trouble with Mom after ordering a pink drink at a lesbian club, and being kicked out for underage drinking and starting a bar fight, and getting arrested. High school detective work is hard, man.
Over at Ezra's, things might be over between Aria and the new dad. He's packed up and is headed out to meet his son for the first time. The unspoken issue: What will happen between the two?
What did you think of tonight's episode of PLL?
[Correction: An earlier edition of this post incorrectly listed the episode as 16. It's episode 17.]

Zephyrs fall to Isotopes, 5-1
Published: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
METAIRIE -- Jonathan Sanchez and three Albuquerque relievers limited the New Orleans Zephyrs to five hits as the Isotopes claimed a 5-1 victory on Sunday night.
Sanchez (7-3) overcame six walks to pitch five shutout innings to earn the win. He also fanned eight batters while allowing three hits. Sean White, Chris Withrow, and Kelvin De La Cruz combined to shut the door for the Isotopes' first win of the series.
Albuquerque put a run on the board in the first inning off Z's starter Rett Varner. With two outs, Nick Buss struck out but a wild pitch allowed him to reach first. He was driven home on the next batter when Eliezer Alfonzo doubled to right past a diving Jake Smolinski to put the Isotopes ahead 1-0.
New Orleans loaded the bases on three consecutive singles in the fifth, but Sanchez got Kyle Jensen to pop out to end the threat.
The Isotopes put up a pair of runs in both the sixth and seventh frames. Damaso Espino and John Baker hit back-to-back RBI singles in the sixth to push the lead to 3-0. Brian Barden then cranked a two-run shot to deep center off Adam Reifer in the seventh for a pair of unearned runs after an error by Chris Valaika.
Kevin Kouzmanoff provided the only run for the Zephyrs with a one-out single in the seventh to score Kevin Mattison from second, the first RBI for Kouzmanoff in his last seven games.
The Zephyrs' 5-8 hitters did not register a hit 12 at-bats. The Z's drew nine walks, two shy of their team-high for the season, but also struck out 10 times.
Espino and Justin Sellers combined for four hits for the Isotopes.
Varner (3-4) took the loss, allowing and run on three hits in four innings. He struck out three and walked three.
The season finale is Monday at 1 p.m.

OAKLAND -- What seemed to be the inevitable ascension of Matt Flynn as the Raiders starting quarterback is now an open question.
Terrelle Pryor thrust himself into the conversation Friday night by bringing the Raiders back from the dead in a 34-26 preseason loss to the Chicago Bears at O.co Coliseum.
Pryor scored on a 25-yard scramble and hit a clutch 19-yard touchdown pass to sixth-round draft pick Nick Kasa as the Raiders rebounded from a 27-3 halftime deficit to get within 27-20 after three quarters.
By the time Matt McGloin took over in the fourth quarter, Pryor had given coach Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Greg Olson something to think about, as much by Flynn's struggles as by Pryor's playmaking ability.
Asked afterward if he would consider Pryor as the potential Week 1 starting quarterback, Allen said, "I think we'll have to take a look at it. I don't think Matt played well. Terrelle came in and gave us a spark. I'm not going to make any decisions tonight."
Flynn was 3-for-6 for 19 yards, had two interceptions -- both on throws that weren't close -- and was getting resounding boos from the home crowd.
"That's the game," Flynn said. "Fans expect a certain level of performance and we didn't meet that today."
Pryor had 37 yards rushing on four carries and completed 7 of 9 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown.
Upon entering the game with 6:52 left in the first half, Pryor initially struggled. He threw high to Rod Streater on a third-and-11 play that should have been intercepted by Bears safety Chris Conte, who dropped the ball.
Late in the half, Pryor's 26-yard completion to Mychal Rivera set up Sebastian Janikowski for a 58-yard field goal.
In the second half, against the Bears' second-team defense, Pryor scrambled to his left and lofted a 19-yard jump pass to Streater for a first down. He later raced around right end for the 25-yard score.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 30-yard field goal after a Josh McCown fumble got the Raiders within 27-13, and then the former Raiders quarterback threw an interception to Joselio Hanson, setting up more Pryor heroics.
Sacked for an 11-yard loss earlier in the series, and faced with third-and-16, Pryor threw a perfect seam pass to Kasa at the goal line for the touchdown.
"I just want to go out and compete," Pryor said. "To me, that's just what I do. That's how I expect to play. My teammates stepped up and made a lot of plays for me."
Neither quarterback was interested in entering a debate as the Raiders begin a short week heading into their final preseason game at Seattle Thursday night.
Flynn, who was the presumptive starter in Seattle last season only to lose the job to Russell Wilson, was asked if he had jeopardized a potential starting position with the Raiders.
"I'm not sure," Flynn said. "I'll go out, keep busting my tail and look to play better. Week No. 3 in the preseason is not going to affect me in the long run."
Said Pryor: "I'm not looking to get into who is going to start. We've got a lot of things to fix and we're going to fix them together."
In trailing 27-3 at the end of the first half, the Raiders were actually worse than they were the week before in New Orleans, where they were down 23-7 at halftime. Chicago outgained the Raiders 252 to 92 and had a 14-4 edge in first downs over the first two quarters.
Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler was 12 of 21 for 142 yards and threw a 32-yard touchdown to Matt Forte. Forte also rushed for 76 yards on six carries. Former Raider Michael Bush had scoring runs of 10 yards and one yard.
The first-half highlight for the Raiders was the return to action of cornerback D.J. Hayden, who had not played since last November after rupturing a blood vessel to his heart in a practice at Houston.
Hayden gave up his first completion (a 22-yard pass to Brandon Marshall), made his first tackle and broke up his first pass.
"No question he was rusty," Allen said. "It was good to get him on the field. He got a lot of firsts out of the way tonight."

So I've never had this problem before, but by using latest PMS build 1.70.1 on Win 7 64bit I get this irritating problem.
Two or sometimes three mencoder processes keeps running and each taking up 25% of CPU.
I've googled and searched the forums and all I found was a reference to a link to a patch uploaded to code.google, but this patch is supposed to be buggy and killing off other processes too?
I will probably just install a later version to fix this. Which one would you recommend?
I hope you guys can fix this. Please refer me to a thread on this forum where this is discussed more in detail, because I searched and googled until I got really pissed off at this ridiculous fuc*ing irritating problem

Hello all,
Brady Laue and Trevor Boehne will be hosting the Southern Minnesota Spring Shootout on Saturday March 30, 2013 at Adrian Disc Golf Course.
There are a lot of disc golf courses in Southern Minnesota that don't get the chance to see a lot of tournament action. We have been trying to change that a little bit at a time. Last year we hosted a spring tournament in Adrian and a fall tournament in Springfield. It was the first PDGA sanctioned tournament at each location. Although we will continue to hold tournaments at new courses around the area, we had such a great time in Adrian (and they got new teepads!), that we decided to come back again.
Come down to Adrian Disc Golf Course and get the disc golf season started out right, with a great tournament at a great course. We will be playing two rounds of 18 holes. Please come check it out and support some of the courses around the South Zone!
This tournament is run in connection with the Cedar Creek Open A-tier in August. All funny money proceeds from this event will be put directly into the prize pool for the CCO! That does not mean this tournament's payouts will suffer. It will be a fantastic event run by the CCO staff with your standard 100% payouts. The only thing that is different is that the "vendor" will not be making ANY money. It will all go to CCO. So come out and play a fun tournament while helping to make a great event even better.

Hi there,
I'm using the PS3 media server for almost a year now with great pleasure.
Up till now I only streamed DVD iso files and mp3 / foto. But recently I bought a Full-HD tv and now i'm trying to stream 1080P x264 movies. After trying for days and reading the topics on this forum I just can't get it to work properly. The big problem is the buffer, this runs empty after a couple of minutes of video.
First of all my setup:
Ubuntu 9.04 X64
AMD athlon X2 7750 running @ 3,1Ghz (phenom core CPU I think?)
Asus m2a-VM motherboard
72GB WD raptor harddisk
8500GT videocard
My pc and PS3 have a wired gigabit connection through a netgear switch.
When watching video's the cpu cores are both active between 50% - 80% so multicore isn't an issue?
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Free lunches are vital to students who cannot afford food. And we should always help those in need. We also need to shift our education perspective to include body and mind development. Do this by adding inclusive, not just selective and competitive, sports and daily exercise. Share these with encouragement and many young people will experience a most positive attitudinal boost as many for the first time will feel and celebrate personal strength, vigor, and vitality. When this happens they begin to focus, their grades skyrocket, they sleep better, and their health improves greatly. I know, as it happened to me. Let's also remember that if students are denied lunch they will be too weak and frail to defend our nation.
Primary tabs
Do school lunches pose a national security threat because, as former DoD officials put it, 27% of youths are "too fat to fight"?
8 Comments
Most of the Children on school lunches WOULD NOT have anything to eat, BECAUSE they would get nothing at home some of them might not get anything at all if they didn't get food at school. Our Community even provides lunches when there is no school.I know it's sad that this goes on in America today, BUT IT'S A FACT THAT WE CAN NOT OVER LOOK! I know that if children go hungry in our Community, that they hungry in other parts of America also, Lets not forget these children please.
My Wife is a lunch lady. Her school offers more choices than you can shake a stick at. None of the kids come back from summer vacation skinnier than they left. How on earth can one portion controlled lunch contribute to obesity? It is most definately a problem, but school lunch is not it. It's inactivity.
The school systems in their ever increasing rush to political correctness are cancelling all playground activities that involve physical contact. ie no running and playing tag, no dodge ball, no touch football. And then to add insult to injury the kids come home and get glued to the tv or computer or game console instead of staying outside and being physically active.
It is not the Lunches that are hurting the kids, but the the fact that most schools have cut so many programs geared to better health. They said it is due the cost,but the kids need to eat and they need an active life to stay in shape. We can say it is fast food or anything else, but if all they do is sit on their bottons and don't do things to burn the fat them there is a problem.
The children need more to do, and not just more video games. They to get outside and do things that will keep them strong and healthie, and most of all foods that feed their brains..
Its not the school lunches as much as it is the fast food places ie; McDonanalds, Burger King. Of course the schools could go back to real cooksand less frozen food and junk foods that are microwaved. Some schools are putting in sald barrs for the older grades and a ot of our youth are eating the salad.
The lunches are the symptom, not the disease. Read last week's Time Magazine for some answers to childhood obesity through healthy lunch meals. We should also be focusing on the kinds of programs that lift families out of poverty so that they do not depend on free/low cost school lunches; and we should be educating parents that "Lunchables" and their equivalent are not appropriate for growing children. Eventually, our entire country--including our military--will become one large couch potato unless we are all willing to admit the problem and to take action. The American Legion has an opportunity to be local leaders in this effort through our posts.
School lunches originated when draft physical just before WWII disclosed an intolerably high number of men disqualified because of nutritional diseases (pellagra, rickets and the like). The program continued, BUT local school boards have subverted its intended purpose to improve the health of our children. They do this by not disbursing enough funds to provide good and adequate food. So the typical meal is high on fats, salt, and calories. The federal government at one time proposed counting ketchup as a "vegetable serving." For the good of the country we need to get back to, and adequately fund the original purpose.

About the Book
"Bill Russell was the greatest team basketball player ever….[He] has produced a moving tribute to his friend and, in a larger sense, to friendship."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In Red and Me, Boston Celtics basketball legend Bill Russell pays homage to his mentor and coach, the inimitable Red Auerbach. A poignant remembrance of a life-altering relationship in the tradition of Big Russ and Me and Tuesdays With Morrie, Red and Me tells an unforgettable story of one unlikely and enduring friendship set against the backdrop of the greatest basketball dynasty in NBA history.
Red Auerbach was one of the greatest basketball coaches in sports history. Bill Russell was the star center and five-time MVP for Auerbach's Celtics, and together they won eleven championships in thirteen years. But Auerbach and Russell were far more than just coach and player. A short, brash Jew from Brooklyn and a tall, intense African-American from Louisiana and Oakland, the men formed a friendship that evolved into a rare, telling example of deep male camaraderie even as their feelings remained largely unspoken.
Red and Me is an extraordinary book: an homage to a peerless coach, which shows how he produced results unlike any other, and an inspiring story of mutual success, in which each man gave his all and gained back even more. Above all, it may be the most honest and heartfelt depiction of male friendship ever captured in print.

Gifford Medical Center is offering a free talk on Medicare insurance on Friday, June 29 from 2-3:30 p.m. in the hospital Conference Center.
Titled "Everything you need to know about Medicare," the talk is for anyone who is currently on Medicare, who soon will be, or who has a parent or spouse going on Medicare.
Topics include why understanding one's insurance is important, why participating in Medicare Part B is beneficial, and what one's choices are under Medicare Part D.
"When making health care decisions, understanding your health insurance is vital. Medicare, which many of us have as health insurance or soon will, can be complicated to understand," said Gail Bourassa, director of patient access and financial services at Gifford. "We're hoping to help our patients make informed decisions by sharing what Medicare, and its various parts, covers."
Bourassa, along with Gifford Patient Financial Services staff members Deborah Kendall, Melinda Mercier, and Michele Packard, of Health Connections, will lead the free discussion.
No registration is required. Call Gifford Patient Financial Services at (802) 728-2200 to learn more.
The Gifford Conference Center is at the medical center in Randolph at 44 S. Main St. (Route 12). Use the stairway under the green awning marked "Conference Center" or take the elevator from the main lobby/registration to the first floor.

About the Book
Internationally bestselling author and award-winning Stanford University educator Tina Seelig has taught creativity to the best and brightest students at Stanford and to business leaders around the world. With inGenius she expertly decodes creativity, revealing an approach that everyone can use to enhance their own creative genius.
In today's world, innovation and creative problem solving are more important than ever to succeed. For many of us, however, this process is a mystery. Whether we are attempting to generate fresh ideas or struggling with problems with no solutions in sight, the innovative spark is out of reach. inGenius offers a revolutionary new model, the Innovation Engine, which explains how creativity is generated on the inside and how it is influenced by the outside world. Describing the variables that work together to catalyze or inhibit our creative abilities, Seelig provides a set of tools we can each use right away to radically enhance our own ingenuity as well as that of our colleagues, teams, organizations, and communities.
Seelig's groundbreaking work reveals that creativity is an endless renewable resource we can tap into at any time. It is as natural as breathing, and just as necessary for leading a successful and fulfilling life.

Just wanted to confirm that we're actively working to get everyone who requested an invitation invited to Ubuntu One (and that participation at UDS Karmic is slowing us down a bit ATM).
Thanks for you interest, we'll try to get those out A.S.A.P.
I would take one of those too.

The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at Mathis City Auditorium in Valdosta. The service came a day after family and friends gathered Friday to pay their respects to the former Georgia high school football standout at a funeral home in Quitman.
Christian and another former Auburn football player, Ladarious Phillips, were killed along with DeMario Pitts at a pool party June 9 at an apartment complex near the university. All three men were 20. Three others were wounded in the shooting.
Funerals for Phillips and Pitts were held in Alabama Friday.

MLK Realizing the Dream concert set Jan. 19

Editor's note: Light One Candle is an annual series sponsored by the Mail Tribune that focuses on an individual, group or agency that could use a helping hand during the holiday season. Once that need is filled, donations may be distributed to others in need.
Alittle financial help with rescue efforts would light up the life of this local angel of abandoned animals.
Jessie, 27, might seem to have the odds stacked against her. But she has a heart as big as the holiday tree in Medford's Vogel Plaza — especially when it comes to lost, tossed or injured animals.
Born with a developmental disability, Jessie had to be removed from her family home in her early childhood due to issues of abuse and neglect.
She grew up in various foster homes, which might have caused her to feel some bitterness toward people, but Jessie has a great sense of humor and is very compassionate.
Jessie, in addition to having her own beloved little dog, has taken in an abandoned lovebird and is nursing it back to health. Helping out abandoned animals is not a new thing. Jessie assists in the care of small animals, providing loving encouragement and paying for immunizations and veterinary care whenever she can.
This is particularly commendable given her economic situation.
Although she recently started a part-time job doing janitorial services, she depends on a fixed Social Security income that barely meets her daily living expenses.
Jessie has good computer skills and has successfully used the Internet to find secure homes for some rescued animals.

Women's Health
Vitamin E May Lower Blood Clot Risk
Sept. 10, 2007 -- Vitamin E proved to be a bust for preventing heart disease and cancer in a widely publicized study in women, but intriguing results from the same trial suggest a role for the vitamin in reducing the risk of life-threatening blood clots.
Researchers warn that the findings must be confirmed, and they say no one taking prescription blood thinners to prevent deep vein blood clots should stop taking them.
But Harvard Medical School professor of medicine Robert J. Glynn, PhD, says vitamin E shows promise for preventing the potentially deadly clots in high-risk patients who aren't on prescription blood thinners like warfarin.
"Warfarin is very effective, but it has a lot of side effects and people must be monitored closely when they are on it," Glynn tells WebMD.
Vitamin E and Deep Vein Clots
Clots that form in the arteries lead to heart attacks and strokes, but deep vein clots become deadly when they break off and travel to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolisms. Deep vein clots and pulmonary embolism from blood clots are known collectively as venous thromboembolism (VTE).
That is what happened to NBC reporter David Bloom, who died in 2003 after spending days in a cramped military vehicle while covering the invasion of Iraq.
Spending long periods in a confined space without moving greatly increases a person's risk for developing deep vein blood clots, as do obesity, pregnancy, advanced age, oral contraceptives, and hormone therapy.
The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that about 200,000 new cases of VTE occur in the U.S. each year, with 30% of cases resulting in death within 30 days. Another 30% of people develop new clots within 10 years.
In the newly published study, Glynn and colleagues reviewed data from the Women's Health Study, which included just under 40,000 women aged 45 and older who took either 600 international units (IU) of vitamin E or a placebo every other day and were followed for an average of 10 years.
During the trial, 213 women in the vitamin E group and 269 women in the placebo group developed venous thromboembolism.

Authorities: 2 men shot at Durham flea market
Published 6:15 AM EST Dec 10, 2012
Police in Durham are investigating a shooting over the weekend at a flea market.
Authorities say officers were called to the Durham Green Flea Market just after 1 p.m. on Sunday. They found a 19-year-old man who had been shot several times, and a 31-year-old man had been shot in the leg.
Both men were taken to the hospital for treatment. Their names and conditions have not been released.
Police are looking for suspects, and no charges have been filed.

A Medford man who was pulled over by police Tuesday for not having a front-facing license plate on his vehicle was cited and released on charges he was carrying 31 pounds of marijuana in his trunk, Oregon State Police reported.
Rahmon Able, 36, was driving northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 10 outside Ashland at 2 p.m. Tuesday when he was pulled over for the license plate violation, according to a media release from OSP.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed the marijuana in the trunk, police said. The substance, packaged in 31 individual bags, has an estimated street value of $75,000, the release said.
The drugs were seized, and Able was taken into custody. He was later released and ordered to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court for unlawful possession and distribution of a controlled substance, police said.

SANTA CLARA -- The father of the stowaway who survived a freezing flight to Hawaii in the wheel well of a Boeing 767 said Sunday that the 15-year-old "is a good kid who I love dearly," and plans to bring him home soon.
In a three-paragraph emailed statement, Abdulahi Abdi Yusuf, a Somali refugee who lives in Santa Clara and drives a cab, said that his family was "deeply concerned" when his son, Yahya Abdi, went missing last weekend. He said he was relieved to hear he was safe after landing last Sunday at the Maui airport and hopping out of the wheel well onto the tarmac.
The statement left many questions unanswered -- including a response to accusations by his birth mother and another relative that the teen was treated poorly or why the father apparently did not report that his son was missing.
Yusuf did say, however, that "our family was deeply concerned when my son went missing, and we were relieved to hear of his safety considering the circumstances of his trip." Echoing comments he made in a radio interview last week, Yusuf said his son was having trouble in school after moving here in 2006 from a refugee camp in Kenya.
"My son, like many immigrant children, is struggling adjusting to life in this country," Yusuf said in the statement. "Our situation was aggravated by our displacement in Africa for many years after fleeing our home country of Somalia because of war conditions. As a result, my son was not able to receive any formal education before we immigrated to the United States."
Refugee camp
Yusuf's comments were sent through the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights group with a Santa Clara office that is helping the family navigate the situation and deal with the international media. TV trucks have been camped out for a week in front of the family's modest Santa Clara rental home, where all the drapes are drawn. CAIR also clarified Yusuf's last name, which had previously been reported as Abdi.
"The focus of the statement was to address some of the questions that people have raised about the dad and the son and how everyone feels and what's next," said Zahra Billoo, executive director of CAIR's Santa Clara office. "It was balanced with the family's desire to maintain a level of privacy as well."
Yahya remains hospitalized with breathing difficulties and is in the custody of Hawaii's Department of Human Services. Yahya told Hawaiian authorities at the Maui airport that he ran away from home after an argument with his father and stepmother. He said he wanted to find his birth mother, who lives in an Ethiopian refugee camp. When he hopped a barbed-wire fence at Mineta-San Jose International Airport either late April 19 or early April 20, he said he climbed into the wheel well of the closest plane, which happened to be Hawaii-bound. He fell asleep or blacked out and doesn't remember most of the 5.5 hour flight.
Miracle survival
Aviation experts say the teen must have been in a "hibernation" state to survive 38,000-foot altitudes and temperatures that dipped well below zero.
In an interview arranged by a relative in San Jose, Yahya's birth mother stepped forward last week, telling reporters in a call from the refugee camp that she wanted to reunite with her son, along with her two other children. She claimed that her ex-husband and his wife, who have five other children together, treated her children poorly and refused to allow her to communicate with them. Until recently, she said, her three children were told by their father that she had died in a rocket attack in Mogadishu.
When Yahya will be released and to whom is unclear. But Yusuf said he plans to fly to Hawaii to get Yahya and he is "excited to bring him back home to his family in California. We thank everybody for their concern and support and ask that people continue to respect our privacy during this incredibly difficult time."

Four dive volunteers from Tortuga Diver Training removed and recorded debris from Perch Lake...
Project AWARE's online environmental community working together for ocean protection.
User Profile
Jay began diving in central Illinois in 1976. After spending many childhood years watching the "Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau," it was just a matter of time before he would become a certified diver and explore the underwater realm for himself. Jay has had a wide range of diving experiences in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. From the muddy-brown lakes and rivers of central Illinois to an underground mine in Missouri, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, East Coast to West Coast, from the Caribbean to Central America, Jay has enjoyed the pristine beauty of life beneath the waves. His support of Project AWARE activities is motivated by the desire to preserve this beauty. To this day, his most memorable dive was with a fifty-foot humpback whale near the British West Indies. His favorite dive destinations include Belize and Little Cayman. Jay is a PADI Master Instructor and also enjoys underwater videography as a hobby.

Aside from the obvious (see our cover review on Pasaporte... (TL-14010.10). Now that CD is a must-have), the most intriguing new release since issue #19 has been Vocal Sampling's Una Forma Mas (TL-14017.10). There is simply no precedent for the kind of work these guys are doing (see page 10). For those of you who don't know this "band," let me fill you in. They are a group of young Cuban guys doing what sounds like beautifully orchestrated dance and rumba tunes with full band implementation except that there's no band, or, I should say, no instruments except their mouths. Totally a capella. It is simply a remarkable sound that you have to hear to believe.
Camilo Azuquita, the veteran vocalist who has played with everyone from Puente to Blades, has a French release entitled La Foule - Salsa International 1994 (TL-13946.10). The line up is outstanding, beginning with Nicky Marrero and Sonny Bravo. Half the CD was recorded in New York and half in Paris. If you are not familiar with the Bad Street Boys (TL-13924.10), don't let the corny name fool you. This is a compilation of material from the 80s by José "Nando" Pintor's band with Eddie Iglesias and Frankie Morales on vocals. Milton Cardona is on coro with arrangements by Marty Sheller and others. It has some well done English salsa cuts and some classics like "Gitana" and "Cheek to Cheek".
Last time I told you about Cuban Gold 2: Bajo Con Tumbao (TL-14007.10). Well, it's out and is an outstanding effort by Qbadisc. It includes the 14-1/2 minute "Guaguancó A Todos Los Barrios" by Estrellas De Areito. La Gran Banda De Venezuela has put out the super-hot straight-ahead salsa CD entitled Sabrosito (TL-13925.10). Hilton Ruiz's Hands On Percussion (TL-13842.10) is his best effort yet. Tito Puente is a guest. Giovanni Hidalgo is in top form as are Andy Gonzalez, Steve Berrios, Ignacio Berroa, Papo Vazquez, Dave Valentin and David Sanchez.
Two salseros from Cuba, Issac Delgado and Adalberto Alvarez, have joined forces on El Chévere de la Salsa/El Caballero del Son (TL-13935.10). This is one of my favorites from the island. Although Issac and Adalberto sing together on only two cuts, this is an extremely strong release throughout. Other vocalists are Rojitas and Yanithza (who do a a great version of the India/Marc Anthony hit "Vivir Lo Nuestro"), Daría and Leonel.
Vagabundeando (TL-13930.10) has always been one of my favorite Joe Cuba releases. It has finally been made available on CD. It has the original "El Raton" with vocals by Cheo Feliciano. Speaking of Joe, he has put out a brand new release called Steppin' Out Again (TL-13934.10) that boasts some remarkable talent like Isidro Infante, Johnny Torres, Papo Pepin, Mark Quiñones, Mauricio Smith, Ray De La Paz, Nestor Sanchez, Yomo Toro and others. My favorite cut: "Pan Con Queso y Salami." Nice groove.
Want to hear some nice Colombian salsa? Check out vocalist Kike Harvey's La Isla Bonita . He has a nice relaxed style. His version of the cover tune (which was a hit for Madonna) is a good club dance number. Fans of Conjunto Céspedes have been waiting for a follow up to the popular Una Sola Casa. Vivito Y Coleando/Alive & Kicking (TL-13933.10) is their second release (produced by John Santos) and should prove to be just as successful, opening up with "Qué Viva Changó."
We took in a new label, from Spain, last month called Discmedi. They have licensed material from the archives of the Institute of Cuban Radio and Television. All of the CDs are interesting. There is a live Beny Moré, a Conjunto Casino, an Aragón, a Cascarita and others. Two that stand out are Mi Salsa En Descarga Vol. 1 (TL-13890.10) and Combo Siboney's Descarga Latina (TL-13891.10). Mi Salsa is a compilation of jams by Cuba's musical elite. Band members from NG La Banda, Opus 13, Afrocuba, Aragón, Perspectiva, Emiliano Salvador, Tata Güines, Issac Delgado, Gonzalo Rubalcaba etc. break out in depraved abandon. Five stars. The Combo Siboney CD is from 1966 and has Juanito Marquez on guitar, Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez on bass, Orestes "Macho" Lopez on piano, Guillermo Barreto on drums and paila, Tata Güines on congas, Rolito Rodriguez and Orlando Reyes on vocals and others. This CD is the slow burn....like the best of Cachao's descargas.
Qbadisc has released Vacunao (TL-14015.10) with all new material by Los Muñequitos de Matanzas. This CD has 10 cuts and is the best rumba I have heard in a long time. Oscar D'Leon's Canta La Música Cubana, Vol. 2 is out on CD and, for my money, this is the best material he has done. He does Beny More classics as well as tunes by Arsenio Rodriquez, Abelardo Barroso and Miguel Matamoros.
Sony has released their Leyendas/Legends series of CDs. Among them are a Fajardo, Joe Quijano, Arsenio Rodriguez, Xavier Cugat and Eddie Palmieri. The Palmieri happens to be Lucumí, Macumba, Voodoo (TL-13962.10) the classic Afro-Latin concept release from 1978. Religious, folkloric, jazz and pop influences permeate this pivotal release. It includes the almost 13 minute "Mi Congo Te Llama" medley.
Not one but two Peruchin CDs made their way here this month. La Descarga (TL-13945.10) and Peruchineando (TL-13947.10) will surely satiate those waiting for The Incendiary Piano to be reissued. Plena Libre is a band from Puerto Rico that produces high energy dance music rooted in the compelling plena tradition. Juntos Y Revueltos (TL-13926.10) is a fine debut CD.
Ismael Quintana's Amor, Vida y Sentimiento (TL-13928.10) is now available on CD. A tremendous record and a tremendous band (thirty contributing musicians). Seven violinists! Tony Cofresi, Barry Rogers, Perico Ortiz, Pappo Lucca, Nicky Marrero, Orestes Vilato, Pupi Legarreta, Andy Gonzalez...the list goes on and on. This record would be too damned expensive to produce today. Get it. Seis Del Solar has a new Latin jazz CD out called Alternate Roots (TL-14016.10) which reflects some personnel changes. Speaking of Latin jazz, check out Steve Turre's release called Rhythm Within (TL-14003.10). It is a fine follow up to his masterful Sanctified Shells recording.
Long unavailable on CD, Tito Allen's El Intocable (TL-3504.10) is back. Dating from 1988, this is one of his best recordings. Yobosó is a salsa/Latin jazz quartet out of New Mexico. Their first release, entitled Ya Llegó! (TL-13938.10) really cooks. The 8 minute version of "En Mi Viejo San Juan" is a gem, as is "Descarga Yobosó." Orquesta Broadway's Orquesta Broadway Loves New York (TL-14005.10) is a charanga by this veteran band. Flute, strings and brass typify this dance release.
There are three new instructional videos that have to be mentioned. Giovanni Hidalgo, the conguero from another planet, has an instructional called Conga Virtuoso (TL-13827.30). He guides you through the development of the tumbao from one to three drums. This fantastic video features Changuito on timbales, Ray Romero on bongos as well as Ignacio Berroa, Eric Figueroa, John Benitez, Danilo Pérez, and David Sanchez. Afro-Cuban rhythms as well as rhythms of Puerto Rico (Jíbaro, Bomba, Plena, Jubá, Xicá, Cuembé, Holendes) are covered. Section three is reserved for advanced techniques and special exercises: singles, doubles, ruffs, combinations. This video is bilingual and 90 minutes long. For you drum set players, Ignacio Berroa has put out Mastering the Art of Afro-Cuban Drumming (TL-13828.30). He's played with Dizzy Gillespie, Batacumbele, Michel Camilo, Tito Puente and others. The clave and its subtleties are carefully reviewed. Folkloric rhythms (bembe, rumba, cascara, bombo, abakwa) as well as dance rhythms (salsa, cha cha cha, danzón, son montuno) are covered and feature full band implementation with Giovanni Hidalgo, Danilo Pérez, David Sanchez, John Benitez and a demonstration of ssongó rhythms by the master, Changuito.
Speaking of Changuito, when he was in New York a few months ago he did an extended jam with Giovanni Hidalgo. It was recorded on video and we will have it in June.
Dancers, and would-be dancers, do not feel left out. Eddie Torres, one of the most recognized names in Latin dance circles has put out a dance instructional call Eddie Torres Teaches Salsa Nightclub Style (TL-13829.30). It features Oscar Hernandez's band (with Eddie Montalvo on congas). Two of Tito Puente's classics are included: "Fiesta A La King" and "Mambo Gozon," as well as original material by Hernandez. This is supposed to be the definitive Latin dance instructional.
My friend Raul Rico just called to let me know of the new Estrada Brothers CD called About Time (TL-14139.10). It's scheduled for release the end of April and, according to Raul, has a very Cal Tjader sensibility. We look forward to hearing it.
Now for the real news. My daughter Rosa Marlene was born on February 18th and she's doing great. 8 lbs. 2 oz. if you must know.

Stillman Tigers sweep Tuskegee series
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 11:28 p.m.
TUSKEGEE | The Stillman College Lady Tigers got their second consecutive SIAC road sweep by defeating the Tuskegee Tigerettes 3-0, 4-2 and 5-3.
Stillman opened the season at 1-5, but has seven straight road wins and is 8-5 overall and 7-0 in the SIAC.
Junior Ashley Savage carried the pitching load for Stillman. Savage (6-2), the 2012 SIAC Pitcher of the Year, picked up all three wins.
In game one, Savage held Tuskegee to just two singles. She struck out seven. Stillman scored all three of its runs in the fourth inning when senior shortstop Bailey Braughton led off with a double and scored on senior Danielle Hewett's single. Hewett scored on junior Ashlee Handley's first homer of the season.
In the second game, Stillman tied the score at 1 when senior Gabby Quarles singled, took second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on a passed ball.
Januar Page hit her first homer of the season, an inside-the-park hit to right field, to put Stillman up 2-1. In the fifth, Stillman went up 4-1 on two walks, one stolen base, a single by Braughton and a two-out RBI double by Handley.
Savage struck out seven, walked one and gave up three singles in the final game. Junior Michaela Norman recorded her first save of the season, pitching the final inning.
Page and Braughton stayed hot at the plate for Stillman, both going 2-for-2. Page had a triple, a single, two stolen bases and scored two runs. Braughton had two singles, one stolen base and one run scored. Ashlee Handley added an RBI double and Danielle Hewett singled and scored.
The Tigers play Thursday and Friday in the SIAC East vs. West Crossover in Jasper.
