PARKERSBURG - Making it big in a band is a dream for many.
Few have had the commitment to make the dream come true.
Local musicians have tasted various levels of success, from playing local venues with local fans to recording albums and having fans around the world.

The South of the River Band has performed at venues around the area and West Virginia and is branching into other states. The band is, from left: Zac Windland, rhythm guitar and vocals; Adam Spaur, drums, Tarah Marie, lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Austin Clark, lead guitar and vocals; and Thomas Eaton, bass.
Parkersburg resident Jim Gustafson is the guitarist for the hard rock psychedelic band Poobah. The band was formed in the 1970s.
Current members of the South of the River Band have been performing for more than two years at festivals in West Virginia and Ohio with its mix of country and southern rock. The band includes Tarah Marie, Austin Clark, Zac Windland, Adam Spaur and Thomas Eaton.
It hopes to expand into other areas, like on a recent trip to Maryland and providing a song for an independent film, said Marie. Marie sings lead vocals and plays rhythm guitar.
"We want to get into some of the surrounding states to let people know who we are," she said.
The band has come a long way since it started in 2009, said Clark, an original member who sings and plays lead guitar.
"We are becoming more and more known each year," he said.
The band has opened for Nashville country stars Luke Bryan, Jason Michael Carroll, Randy Houser, Bucky Covington, Little Texas, Jimmy Wayne, Cledus T. Judd and Brett Eldridge.
In 2011, the band's single "Goodbye" was locally played on WNUS 107.1, WGGE 99.1, WCEF 98.3, and WBYG 99.5.
The band has been in the studio recording an independently produced album it will sell at performances along with other merchandise. The album will have at least 12 tracks of mostly original material.
"People will be able to feel each person in the band in each song," Marie said.
The band has done other recordings in the past, which were popular with its fan base.
"Our fans are wanting the new stuff," Clark said.
The advent of social media, such as Facebook, has allowed the band to keep in contact with its fan base, let people know where they will be performing and receive feedback.
"It has helped us out a lot," Marie said.
The band's Facebook page has 2,331 likes and 99 friends talking about them through posts.
The goal for the band is to make it to Nashville and get recorded by a major record label.
"We hope someone hears us, either a record label or a producer, and they want to work with us," Clark said.
But for now the band wants to expand further from West Virginia and into the surrounding states.
It is rehearsing weekly. Songs have been written individually and as a group.
Clark wants the group to be successful, but he wants it to remain enjoyable.
"I want to keep it fun," he said.
Jim Gustafson of Parkersburg is the guitarist for Poobah, the hard-rock psychedelic band that has been performing since the 1970s. The band has been featured in polls in Rolling Stone magazine and Classic Rock Magazine, in Europe alongside such acts as Rush, Alice Cooper and AC/DC.
Poobah with its 12 albums worldwide is on iTunes, Amazonmp3 and Google Play.
Poobah holds the world record for most shows played at the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with 12 appearances. Another Poobah album is scheduled for June 2013 through the Ripple-Music record label in California.
Gustafson recorded an album with Jimi Hendrix bassist Billy Cox.
"Learning a musical instrument takes some time and dedication," Gustafson said. "It's fun when you get it sounding good, and can sometimes lead to some situations where you can actually make some money from your songs.
"Music is also a very good way to ease your mind," he said. "Playing an instrument, like guitar, or keyboards, can take you away from problems, giving your mind and body a break."
Having played guitar for years, it has helped him through many stressful situations. As far as making music a job, part-time or full-time, everyone has different ideas of how important a career as a musician is to them, Gustafson said.
"Success is measured differently by most everyone, so some only seek to have fun with friends, maybe playing in a band a couple weekends a month, or in the basement for fun only, while others have decided to dedicate their entire life and being to trying to make a worldwide mark with their art," Gustafson said. "This may require a lot of work hours, a great plan, and maybe someone investing a lot of money in the band, or soloist.
"Like any business, the equipment can be pricey, and moving it around with gas prices gouging your budget, plus vehicle and equipment upkeep, all take someone's funds," Gustafson said. "The downside is only some ever make the money invested back, like any business. Having another job can sound like the right approach, when your phone bill is due at the same time as the rent."
Gustafson said band have to deal with a lot of criticism and fame can always be elusive.
"Fans will be the deciding link in the chain, on fame or fortune," he said. "They are the final frontier, over magazines, radio, press, as they are the ones who decide in the marketplace, who they will buy music from, and there are many choices for them to pick from. Unless your uncle is friends with the right industry leaders, you need a sensible plan to make it happen for you."
Talent can take people far and there are times when hard work can get your foot in the door, he said.
Bands need to play in local venues, developing their sound and gathering strong local followings.
"It is a special thrill ,when you form an act, or band, that gets popular in your area, and lots of people enjoy what you are doing," Gustafson said. "When you can draw a crowd, the cash register will ring, and club owners will love you. Don't be afraid to ask everyone you know to come see your show."
People may not understand a musician's vision or style of music. A band has to take it all in stride, he said.
"Some can't take rejection and give up easily," he said. "Others get back up and try again. Perseverance helps."
The internet has changed the way clubs book bands. Presenting a good resume, show flyers, album art and press kits are valuable tools.
But it's important bands let the people who listen to them be their strongest supporters, Gustafson said.
"Let others say that for you, or you just sound like so many unworthy saying how great you are, without true earned merit," he said. "One more thing, try to keep from talking badly about the competition to talent buyers, as you never know when it will come back and bite you."
Gustafson said he has been lucky over the years and continues to love playing the guitar.
"I have always just tried to enjoy what I have, be satisfied with the luck and good times I have had, because you never know what tomorrow may bring," he said.

The professor and the bikini model MAR 08 2013
Paul Frampton is a 69-year-old theoretical particle physicist who has co-authored papers with Nobel laureates. In late 2011, the absentminded professor met a Czech bikini model online. Over email and Yahoo chat, they became romantically involved and she sent him a plane ticket to come meet her at a photo shoot in Bolivia. Then she asked him to bring a bag of hers with him on his flight.
While in Bolivia, Frampton corresponded with an old friend, John Dixon, a physicist and lawyer who lives in Ontario. When Frampton explained what he was up to, Dixon became alarmed. His warnings to Frampton were unequivocal, Dixon told me not long ago, still clearly upset: "I said: 'Well, inside that suitcase sewn into the lining will be cocaine. You're in big trouble.' Paul said, 'I'll be careful, I'll make sure there isn't cocaine in there and if there is, I'll ask them to remove it.' I thought they were probably going to kidnap him and torture him to get his money. I didn't know he didn't have money. I said, 'Well, you're going to be killed, Paul, so whom should I contact when you disappear?' And he said, 'You can contact my brother and my former wife.' " Frampton later told me that he shrugged off Dixon's warnings about drugs as melodramatic, adding that he rarely pays attention to the opinions of others.
On the evening of Jan. 20, nine days after he arrived in Bolivia, a man Frampton describes as Hispanic but whom he didn't get a good look at handed him a bag out on the dark street in front of his hotel. Frampton was expecting to be given an Hermès or a Louis Vuitton, but the bag was an utterly commonplace black cloth suitcase with wheels. Once he was back in his room, he opened it. It was empty. He wrote to Milani, asking why this particular suitcase was so important. She told him it had "sentimental value." The next morning, he filled it with his dirty laundry and headed to the airport.
Crazy story. (via @stevenstrogatz)

WALNUT CREEK -- When it comes to audience engagement, Diablo Ballet knows how to buck tradition.
Last year, the Walnut Creek-based dance company created a minor stir when, instead of insisting on rapt, distraction-free attention expected from ballet audiences, it invited writers and bloggers to whip out their smartphones and discreetly live-tweet during a performance.
This year, the tech-happy troupe is breaking down more barriers between dancers and audience while taking its embrace of all things YouTube, Twitter and Facebook a step further by staging what it says is the first ballet crowdsourced by social media.
Using seven ideas for setting, mood and subject matter gleaned from among 132 suggestions by social media users from around the world, rising choreographer and Diablo Ballet dancer Robert Dekkers is crafting "The Flight of the Dodo," a 10-minute tribute to the extinct bird set to a Vivaldi concerto. Rehearsal videos are up on the company's YouTube channel, where the finished dance will be broadcast after March 1.
Although the world premiere isn't until Friday and Saturday in Walnut Creek -- it repeats April 12 and 13 in Foster City -- the piece has already caught the ballet world's attention. International dance publications are buzzing about the work, and a pair of students at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm have made it the subject of a thesis exploring media technology in the dance world.
The idea for the Web ballet came from marketing director Dan Meagher. Drawing inspiration from the company's annual Theatre Encounter program in which artistic director Lauren Jonas and dancers collaborate with schoolchildren on a short piece, Meagher pitched the idea of using technology to create a ballet from scratch.
"It dawned on me that creating dance is a collaborative process," Meagher said, "so why not collaborate on creating a new dance work with the world?"
Jonas immediately tapped Dekkers, a 28-year-old Atlanta native known for creating cutting-edge, multidisciplinary works with his own San Francisco-based company Post:Ballet, to take the reins. Dekkers chose three pieces of music for the potential piece, which in early January were posted on YouTube, and the public was asked to help choose the score. The seven ideas chosen were announced on Twitter on Feb. 19; an eighth idea submitted by a young dance student was also selected.
But it was the idea tweeted by Jonathan Mangosing, a Smuin Ballet dancer familiar with Dekkers' work, that became the work's central subject. In an email, Mangosing noted that the choreographer's pieces -- in which dancers tend to carry each other, perform minimal jumps and slide -- generally "embody forms of birds and beaks."
It would be a natural progression, he pointed out, to put a narrative of a flightless bird "that doesn't exist in the modern world" into one of Dekkers' ballets. "There are themes of evolution, survival and man's obsession/jealousy of flying animals," Mangosing wrote.
Those themes joined suggestions from other social media users.
All making their way into Dekkers' work: twisted, gender-bending dance steps, a deliberately ironic feel, movements both beautiful and "hideously ugly" and an insane asylum setting. Unlike the choreographer's other slow-crafted efforts, this ballet is coming together quickly. The first rehearsal was Feb. 18, leaving Dekkers and the dancers less than two weeks to finish and fine-tune the group creation.
The choreographer himself will dance in the second movement, an adagio in which a frightened, captured dodo -- the birds will be portrayed by the company's male dancers -- is examined by two of the four "explorers," roles that will be danced by women.
"It just kept sticking out to me," Dekkers said about the bird, which went extinct in the late 1600s. Admitting he probably would never have made a ballet about the dodo if not for this project, Dekkers said he sees the bird as a symbol for rapid consumption and technology.
"It really ended up being something I was passionate about and it related to my own life and experiences and community," he said.
And while he doesn't know whether the work will be a success, Dekkers said what matters is getting an opportunity to take a chance and try something new.
"That in-between moment, taking those disparate ideas and weaving them together -- that's what pushes me creatively," he said, "and makes me grow as an artist."

7/17/93 The Filene Center, Wolf Trap Farm Park, Vienna, VA
Charlie Dirksen, San Francisco, CA
It was a gorgeous summer afternoon. My friends and I barbequed for awhile in the lot pre-show. Phish was really starting to "get big" this summer: there were a few vans clearly ready for tour, and a thousand or so folks already in the lot about 2 hours before showtime. There was very little vending, though. Wolf Trap, a small, non-commercial amphitheater-styled venue, usually features folk or classical music, and very little rock. I had no doubt, even before the show, that this would be the only time Phish could play here. The staff wouldn't be able to handle or tolerate the young crowd.
The first set contained solid playing and great tunes, including a pleasant Stash and Reba combo. But the highlight for me personally came with the second set opener. I had seen the movie "Being There" just a few days before this show, in stereo with large speakers, in order to hear the "Also Sprach Zarathustra" in it as loudly as possible. This tune makes its entry at a monumental point in the movie. I had always been profoundly moved by the original classical version, but I was particularly charmed by this funky cover. I remember commenting to my friends -- while watching the movie and listening to this funky 2001 -- on how unfortunate it was that we would never see the song jammed out *live*.
Imagine my shock and Joy upon hearing 2001 open the second set at Wolf Trap! I recognized it at the very beginning -- the spacey intro -- and began trembling, then screaming and waving my arms wildly. I was Fishman-side about 7 rows from the stage, and I know I caught Mike's and Trey's attention. My Dionysian revelry also dominologically caused everybody around me to start ya-hoo'ing, too. It was one of those EVENTS in one's life (if one is blessed enough to have such events) when Everything Falls Into Place and absolutely nothing could ever possibly be more spiritually glorious.
I witnessed the rest of the show like an ecstatic, giddy fan boy who hadn't seen his favorite band in far too long a time. The Leprechaun especially moved me (I wish they would bring this back!), and both Weekapaug and Good Times raged. I wrote the band soon after the show, pleading to receive their newsletter. I was hooked!

Drew Gooden may be a veteran power forward with the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA, but he hasn't forgotten his roots growing up in Richmond.
Gooden, a 1999 El Cerrito High grad and star of the Gauchos team that won the Northern California Division III championship, is holding a first-ever toy drive through his nonprofit DG Foundation to benefit up to 500 children in Richmond.
The toy drive, being held in partnership with the city, was first announced by Gooden on his Twitter account early last week and again later in the week in a news release.
"The recipients of the toy drive are already accounted for and will be distributed amongst children in the inner city of Richmond," says the release. "Drew is very passionate about giving back, and there's no better place than home to do so."
"There was no doubt when choosing who these gifts would go to," Gooden says in the release. "I grew up in the Richmond community, and I want my foundation to be an outlet for the inner city youth."
Toys will be distributed at a Dec. 23 event at the Booker T. Anderson Community Center, where Gooden spent a lot of time as a child learning basketball. Already on board with support, among others, are Coldstone Creamery and Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best, a Cal standout who played prep football at Salesian High in Richmond.
But more support is needed to make the event a success.
Gooden is asking for the community's help with donations of new, unopened toys, tax-deductible cash donations, sites willing to allow a collection box, gift-wrapping materials and food and drink for the event.
"The foundation can still use donations for the cause, since it was newly established just this year," the release notes. "With the help of supporters, we can maximize the amount of presents distributed to the city of Richmond and spread positive holiday cheer."
One donation location that has already been arranged is the gymnasium at El Cerrito High on Dec. 15, when Gooden is sponsoring a high school basketball tournament of top teams from Northern and Southern California.
For more details on how to help, contact Melissa LaCorte at 925-305-1420 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.TheDrewGooden.com.
HONORING SUSIE KO: A prayer grotto in memory of teacher and resident Susie Ko, who was killed in her Hercules home Oct. 18, will be dedicated at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at St. Patrick School, 907 Seventh St. in Rodeo.
Ko was a former teacher at the school, and a former St. Patrick student, Casey O'Neal, was looking for an Eagle Scout project.
"We thought it was perfect timing and requested that he build a prayer grotto to be placed at the entrance of our school doors," writes Loretta Airoldi from the school. "The grotto turned out beautiful" and includes a water fountain.
WEST COUNTY NOTES: Professional basketball returns in Richmond this weekend when the Bay Area Matrix take on the San Francisco Rumble in an American Basketball Association game at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Richmond PAL gymnasium at 2200 Macdonald Ave. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.).
The Matrix, the reigning ABA division champions for two years, are moving their home games to the RPAL gym this year after the Richmond Rockets did not make it to a second season. The team hosts the Stockton Ports on Sunday. Learn more at bayareamatrixbasketball.com.
Enjoy light refreshments and healthy appetizers, and if you can, bring a donation to the annual collection of new coats and toys for students at Verde Elementary School and the RYSE Youth Center in Richmond. For details or to RSVP, call 510-374-3231.

Editor's note: This is the first in a series of columns about special beers being served at the Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival, slated for Jan. 10-13 in Vail. VAIL - The countdown begins, beyond Christmas and New Year's Eve to the Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival, less than 30 days away. The 15th anniversary of this beer-centric weekend showcases breweries from all over the world, double beer-pairing brewmaster's dinners, educational seminars, the homebrew competition judging, and an incredible tasting of commercially available "big," Belgian and experimental beers to top off the weekend. But there's another component to the weekend that doesn't require a ticket or any advance planning ... in the Fireside Bar of the Vail Cascade Resort.For four crazy days, Jan. 10 - 13, the draft handles in the Fireside Bar will have a major identity crisis. All of the draft selections are pulled on Thursday morning, and beer donated by brewers and importers from all over the world begins to flow to benefit the Vail Valley Charitable Fund. Five different beers continually rotate through over the course of the four days, offering a multitude of styles and a full spectrum of flavors for the beer-lovers palate. Rare, unusual, limited release, unavailable, flagship, new releases ... the gambit of possible beers will present themselves over the course of the weekend.Firestone Walker Brewing Co., co-featured brewmasters of the 2013 event with Dry Dock Brewing Co., will send a keg of Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA for patrons to enjoy. Black IPA is a relatively new style, and Firestone Walker has twisted it a bit with the addition of rye. They describe the flavors as follows: "Rich dark malts and spicy rye careen into bold citrus laden hops creating a new dimension in IPA flavor. This brew has been left unfiltered and unfined to retain all of its texture and character. Wookey Jack is gnarly on the outside yet complex and refined on the inside. Only available in the mountains of Colorado since Oct. 1, this Paso Robles, Calif. brewery has won extensive recognition for their products worldwide."Odell Brewing Co. will be featuring a new offering in its four pack series during this year's Big Beers Festival, a Chocolate Milk Stout called Lugene. Named after the Odell family's long-time friend and farmer who feeds his dairy cows their spent grain, Lugene is a full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar) and milk chocolate. Expect much to-do from the Odell crew from Fort Collins when this keg is tapped in Fireside Bar.Papago Brewing Co. from Scottsdale, Ariz. is highlighting its Oude Zuipers in Fireside Bar, a truly authentic Belgian Tripel. Rich golden color and lots of yeast character define this strong beer, which is brewed for them in Belgium. Translating direcly as "old drunk," Oude Zuipers has been a popular selection at Big Beers for several years.Flying Dog Brewery will send its Centennial Single Hop Imperial IPA from Frederick, Md. for the Fireside collection. This is one of six different Single Hop Imperial IPAs made in 2012 to highlight a specific variety of hops. Based upon the same grist bill with the different hops being the sole variable, the series makes for an interesting comparison from one to another. After trying this one, attendees will likely work to source the rest.For more information about the Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival, visit www.bigbeersfestival.com. Further information is available about the Vail Valley Charitable Fund at www.vvcf.org.Laura Lodge is one of the founders and coordinators of the Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival.

BERKELEY -- Among those whose health endured through last season, perhaps no Cal defensive player had a more difficult experience than Cameron Walker.
When Cal opened its 2013 season against Northwestern, the freshman cornerback was in street clothes watching from Section QQ at Memorial Stadium.
Two weeks later, he was on the field, playing safety against Ohio State.
"Out of respect for him, I'm not going to talk about last year," said Cal coach Sonny Dykes, only half-joking.
Walker will be a starting cornerback Saturday when the Bears open their season at Northwestern, a year after injuries forced the coaching staff to burn his redshirt year and play him out of position.
Walker did the best he could, but sometimes the job involved being run over by a fullback or tight end boasting a 60-pound weight advantage.
"Just the physical difference from a 160-something-pound, 17-year-old to grown men out there," Walker recalled of the physical mismatch he faced. "After this whole year, with strength and conditioning, I feel like I'm one of them now."
Now a 180-pound sophomore, Walker is regarded as the Bears' best corner.
"He's much more comfortable playing that corner spot," Dykes said. "All that experience he got last year will help him. The game will be a little more simple."
Funny thing is, Walker said he often pestered his coach at Loyola High in Los Angeles to let him try safety. A case of be careful what you ask for?
"It was a perfect example of that," he said.
Still, Walker had 65 tackles -- second-most on the team -- along with three pass breakups.
"It was a position he'd never played and he did a great job," Dykes said. "He was incredibly unselfish, never complained."
Junior team captain Stefan McClure, who brings 195 pounds to the safety position, said Walker impressed his new teammates last fall. "It's a real tribute to his heart, to his character, that he was willing to do whatever," McClure said.
"It's like, `Wow, we were doing that stuff?' " Moore said. "Sometimes I don't even want to watch it."
Moore said he and his teammates can't wait for Saturday.
"I have more anticipation for this game than any other game in my life. I'm so ready to go. The team's ready to go," he said. "We just can't wait to play them."

8 "Healthy" Snacks That Are More Fattening Than a Twinkie
Are these 8 fattening foods in your fridge? See the snacks that are sabotaging your diet now
Why? "You walk in and pour as much yogurt as you want into a cup, before you pile on the toppings," says Dubost. "By the time you're at the register, you're up to the caloric value of a meal."
Here's the frozen yogurt nutrition breakdown: One Pinkberry medium-sized cup of the original tart flavor gives you 46 g of sugar -- 46! Throw on some yogurt chips and you're adding another 8 g of sugar. Assuming you opted for just the yogurt chips instead of the complimentary three toppings, you've just consumed 54 g of sugar -- or about three Twinkies worth of the sweet stuff.
Eat this instead: "Frankly, there are low-sugar and low-fat ice creams in the grocery store that have less calories and sugar than some of these frozen yogurts," says Dubost. Try Dreyer's Slow Churned No Sugar Added Ice Cream.

Cloud angel photographed heralding pope's selection
A "cloud angel" rose over South Florida on the day that a new pope was named at the Vatican — resulting in snapshots and comments that multiplied like the biblical loaves and fishes. But experts say Wednesday evening's apparition is no supernatural miracle.

The Denver Broncos quarterback eclipsed Brett Favre's mark with his fourth TD pass late in the third quarter, a short toss to his newest target Wes Welker. Manning hooked up with Welker for a score earlier in the game and also had two TD passes to Demaryius Thomas.
Manning now has 16 touchdowns and no interceptions, tying the start of Cleveland's Milt Plum during the 1960 season. Manning has 327 yards passing through three quarters.

Which Version of Solaris Were You Running When ...
By RickRamsey-Oracle on Dec 17, 2010
Do you remember which version of Solaris you were running when Voyager 1 first lifted off? I'll give you a hint: Voyager 1 lifted off from Earth on September 5, 1977. Since then it's been traveling a lot faster than the firebreathing Ducati Desmosedici. Well, the damn thing has reached a speed of about 38,000 mph (suck on that, California Highway Patrol!) and is nearly out of the Solar System.
Try to guess ...
- n00b. Facebook hadn't even been invented yet!
- SunOS 4.1
- Solaris 1.2.3
- Solaris 7
- Solaris 10 09/77
- I hate questions like this one. #sand.
Lucky for you, Oracle has just released Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers. Don't want to part with your favorite version of Startrek running on SunOS 4.1? Tough. We can't help you with that. But we can help you continue running Solaris 8, Solaris 9, or Oracle Linux applications on the latest Oracle Sun hardware. Granted, that's like putting an engine governor (or has the term become governator?) on a Ferrari 458 Italia.
Be still my beating heart.
I can relate, though. I still like riding my old-tech Harley Davidson Softail Custom once in a while even though a little old lady on a souped-up Moped can smoke me in the quarter mile without losing her basset-hound bedroom slippers.
Solaris Legacy Containers are integrated with Oracle Solaris virtualization technologies, you can manage your legacy apps with the same tools you use to manage the rest of your server, and take advantage of the same capabilitites. There are plenty more goodies to get your motor revving. Find out more here:

Saint Mary's men's basketball coach Randy Bennett is feeling pretty good these days. And he should be.
Yes, his Gaels posted their worst West Coast Conference record (11-7) since 2006-07.
Yes, the Gaels know their only chance of making the big dance is winning the conference tournament.
Yes, the only thing most people have heard about the Gaels is their coach was suspended for the first five conference games of the season.
But that all points to why Bennett should feel good, and does. He's turned around the Saint Mary's program such that a 21-win season is a down year.
"You could complain about it, people thinking 20 wins is a disappointment," Bennett said by phone from Las Vegas. "But in the end, that's what you want. You want the bar set high. This is the level we worked to get to."
No doubt, putting together a run as the No. 4 seed in the WCC tournament would change how the Gaels' season is described. It would be the kind of bang at the end to match the early-season hype they garnered with a 9-0 start.
It's been a turbulent ride for the Gaels, no doubt. They've swallowed heartbreaking losses to Hawaii, George Mason and rival Santa Clara. They squandered a second-half lead at home to BYU. They closed the regular season by getting destroyed by Gonzaga in Moraga.
The campaign to salvage the season starts with No. 5 Pepperdine in Saturday's quarterfinals. It would likely have to include wins over Gonzaga, the top team in the conference and Saint Mary's bully, and No. 2 BYU -- which would more than make up for the handful of games the Gaels squandered during the regular season.
Stealing the WCC's bid to NCAA tournament would also be a rewarding end to a trying season for Bennett, who after battling with the NCAA for three years was penalized for "recruiting violations."
But Bennett has all the vindication he needs. The Gaels' RPI of 64 is nowhere near the previous two seasons, 29 and 30, but it's still better than Clemson, Marquette, Maryland, Georgia and half the Pac-12.
That's down because the last six seasons were up, as Saint Mary's won at least 25 games and made four NCAA tournaments (got robbed the other two).
"We were in the ballpark," said Bennett, concluding his 13th season as Gaels coach. "Sure, we would like to have been better. We had some games we wish we could have back. But we've been right there."
Bennett says winning the WCC tournament is doable. Of course, that's what he's supposed to say as the coach. And, considering this is March Madness, the annual home of basketball miracles, you'd have to say he's right.
Matthew Dellavedova, now with the Cleveland Cavaliers, isn't walking through that door. It's possible to see Stephen Holt and Brad Waldow playing like the all-conference players they are. On top of that, James Walker will have to be more than a defender and become a productive third scorer. And Beau Levesque needs to become that surprise star nobody expected but every Cinderella team needs.
And then a few planets will have to waltz together in the cosmos and San Francisco Bay turn to blood. But it's doable.
Bennett, though, doesn't need a tournament victory for vindication. His good name will need some work rebuilding, thanks to the NCAA's oppressive bureaucracy and suspiciously selective prosecution. But tribulation tends to bring perspective.
Good programs have bad years. And what really shows that Saint Mary's has become a good program is that this season is considered bad.
The Gaels still haven't reached Gonzaga's level. But when you think of productive mid-majors, the Zags, Butler and Saint Mary's come to mind. Considering that the Gaels were coming off a 2-27 campaign when Bennett took over in 2001, that's something to feel good about.

At one time, say up until the mid-seventies, when people purchased a new car many of them came directly from the factory, equipped just the way the customer ordered. Around here in those days most folks ordered a block heater. Now when you go to purchase a new vehicle you either take something already on the lot or give the dealer your specifications and, after looking around on the computer they tell you there is one that's pretty close out in Syracuse. "It's the right color but the interior is Jade Green and it has the optional $3,000 aluminum wheels." I know the MBA's think packaging options and ramping up the price is the smart thing to do, but if people could still order vehicles with only the equipment they want and need, I am convinced that both the people and the car companies would be in a lot better shape.* * Sorry to go off on a rant, but my last truck cost over $40,000 and came factory equipped with a sound system a lot more expensive than most people have in their homes - does me a lot of good, I'm deaf as a post.

Make sure you and your team receives EPA certification for lead paint work. If you're not EPA–trained and certified, you risk hefty fines and the possibility of losing your business.
Contractor companies (including sole proprietorships) and individual contractors performing indoor or outdoor renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead–based paint in homes, childcare facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified, trained, and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
Noncompliant contractors could be fined up to $37,500 per violation, per day.
To receive EPA certification for lead paint work, contractors must pay a fee and attend an 8–hour EPA–approved lead paint training course covering the following:

here is a good article in the Seattle Times about a one arm high school player who has aspirations of playing in college. There is a video as well/
Great story, this kid has some skills. It seems like he has the determination that he can definetly play at next level. Good find Lil Pen
Legend Status
no doubt whether its good videos or good articles lil penny is always there. Now if only Big penny thought like that or had the determination of my man playing with only one arm.
at ever happened to Anfernee? All I know is Timmy had that killer crossover.
Timmy had the crossover and penny had the successful line of basketball shoes. Which they have since released.
Who would you rather be Penny or Timmy?
Timmy had the crossover and Air Bacon. Yet, I would go with my mans shoe collection and his crib in Phoenix which included a bowling ally. Not to mention his starring role in Blue Chips
I think he won a local oscar for his performance in Blue CHips. Almost as good as Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth.
What about Travis Best and Walter McCarthy in He Got Game?
or your boy Rick Fox.
I remember Rick Fox playing the role of the host on Ray Allen's visit. Two sharpshooters right there.
best high school basketball movie ever is teen wolf. Michael J. Fox has a sweet looking jumper.
Michael J def had a sweet stroke when he was suiting up for the Beavers in Teen Wolf/
Wait wait wait, Michael J had a nice stroke, but high school basketball movies are forever compared with Hoosiers. And Fox is no Hackman. Plus he didn't pass the ball enough. He just ran down and jacked it up.
But he became that team player in the final game when he shed his fur, a very valuable lesson we can all learn from

As of July 1st, 2014, the requirements for the Language, Media, and Communication track are as follows:
The English Major track in Language, Media, and Communication allows students to build their major around the English Department's multi-faceted offerings in areas such as rhetoric, media studies, film, language studies, nonfiction writing and journalism, and public speaking, as well as courses on related topics offered by other departments, including African-American Studies, Women's Studies, Linguistics, Political Science, Anthropology, History, American Studies and Art History. This track may be of special interest to students who are contemplating careers in such areas as law, nonfiction writing, publishing, print journalism, or electronic journalism, though its emphasis is critical, theoretical, and historical as much as practical.
A minimum of ten courses is required, at least seven of which must be at the 200 or 300 level. The Upper Level Writing Requirement is fulfilled by completion of the major.
1. Students must take either English 117: Introduction to the Art of Film or English 118: Introduction to Media Studies.
2. The core of the major consists of six courses chosen, in large part, from the following list. Up to three of these six courses can be chosen from approved courses taught in other departments—some of the possibilities for this are listed below, and others may be used with the approval of the major advisor. Please note that no more than three 100-level courses can be counted toward the major, and no more than two of these 100-level courses can come from any one of the three sub-categories below. The list below is not comprehensive, and students should consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies at registration time for complete and updated information about applicable courses.
I. Journalism and Nonfiction Writing:
II. Media and Cultural Studies:
III. Rhetoric and Language:
Some sample courses from other departments that can be approved to count toward LMC requirements (again, please check with the Director of Undergraduate Studies about these and other possibilities, which are approved on a case-by-case basis):
Concentrators may also substitute an additional section of ENG 380 for one of the above required courses (see #4 below), if it takes up a relevant subject, for instance, ENG 380: Assimilating Literary Language.
3. Concentrators must take two literature courses, at least one of which must be at the 200 or 300 level. It is recommended that these classes be taken before the senior year. These may not be classes primarily concerned with film or media related content. The following are some of the classes that may used to fulfill this requirement. See the Director of Undergraduate Studies for questions about what other classes may be used.
4. Concentrators must take ENG 380, Advanced Seminar (from a list provided each semester by the English Department) or ENG 396, Honors Seminar, counts as an Advanced Seminar (for students in the English Honors Program). It is recommended that this be taken in the senior year.
5. Concentrators are encouraged to take an approved ENG 394, Internship in English or ENG 391, Independent Study. The English Department itself has sponsored internships with Open Letter Press, the Blake Archive, Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly, METS, the Chaucer Bibliographies, the UR Press, the Public Relations Office, and Rare Books. Internships within the Rochester community include working with local newspapers and television/radio stations, advertising agencies, BOA editions, and Writers and Books. Students wishing to discuss internships applicable to the LMC major should contract the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Further information about the internship program can also be found by clicking here. Please note that all internships must be approved in advance, during the semester prior to the one in which you plan to do the internship.

Not only are Katy Perry and John Mayer somehow miraculously still together, but some are speculating that Perry has become the one woman who has finally tamed Mayer.
Well, at least we're speculating ... .
The New York Post asked if Katy Perry has "tamed (the) infamous ladies' man," because he seems to be ignoring other women.
Apparently, after performing at a benefit concert in Manhattan on Thursday, Mayer hit a restaurant packed with women with some pals.
"John was at a table with friends at Cafe Luxembourg after the show, and a line of girls kept coming up to him," says an eyewitness. "He was clearly not available. It seemed like the opposite of the way he's been in the past, like he's really settled down."
At one point, added the source, he was approached by a "particularly stunning fan," but when he couldn't tear his eyes from his phone, she asked, "Are you talking to Katy?" before slinking away.
Maybe he was just playing Angry Birds.
Mayer and Perry, who began their up-and-down relationship last summer, reportedly rendezvoused Sunday in Malibu, a date about which the London Sun relays a funny little story.
According to the tabloid, the pair was at The Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills when Perry's ex-husband, Russell Brand, strolled in.
"As soon as Katy saw Russell, she hid under the table," said a source. "When he was directed to one far away, she emerged. John threw some money on the table, and they headed to the back door and their waiting car."
Does Russell Brand smell bad or something?
Brand supposedly remained oblivious, says the spy, "but everyone in the restaurant saw what happened."
Uh-huh. Of course they did.

I was reminded of the proverbial frog as I considered how the recently passed Military Commissions Act (MSA) managed to get lost in a shuffle of naughty e-mails and bipartisan accusations.
This isn't meant to downplay the MSA. As Michael C. Dorf, a professor of Law at Columbia University, explains: "It immunizes government officials for past war crimes; it cuts the United States off from its obligations under the Geneva Conventions; and it all but eliminates access to civilian courts for non-citizens--including permanent residents whose children are citizens--that the government, in its nearly unreviewable discretion, determines to be unlawful enemy combatants." Nasty stuff, indeed...but since fiddling with human rights has long been a hobby for America's power elite, it'd be misguided to assign all the blame to the current administration. The erosion of freedom has been a slow steady process‹not unlike boiling a pot of water.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
President John Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Act in 1798. Under this
ugly bit of legislation, I might've receive a fine "not exceeding two
thousand dollars" and/or "imprisonment not exceeding two years" simply for
writing an article such as this.
Woodrow Wilson got his own Espionage and Sedition Act in June 1917. Here's a
sample of that law: "Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall
willfully cause or attempt to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or
refusal of duty in the military or naval forces of the United States, shall
be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment of not more
than 20 years, or both."
Alleged liberal Bill Clinton signed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death
Penalty Act into law on April 24, 1996. This USA PATRIOT Act prequel
contained provisions that Clinton himself admitted "makes a number of
ill-advised changes in our immigration laws, having nothing to do with
fighting terrorism." This unconstitutional salvo did little to address
so-called terrorism but plenty to limit the civil liberties of
anyone-immigrant or resident-who disagrees with U.S. policies, foreign or
Of course, there was Abe Lincoln suspending habeas corpus during the Civil
War. The FBI's notorious Counterintelligence Program, COINTELPRO
(1956-1971), was in place through four presidential administrations-two from
each party. Also, Japanese-Americans in the 1940s just might have something
to say about Franklin Delano Roosevelt's concept of freedom and human
rights. FDR signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, thus interning
over 100,000 without due process. In the name of taking on the architects of
German prison camps, he became the architect of American prison camps.
Coming on the heels of other recent legal machinations, the MSA might best be viewed as adding a few degrees on that little thermometer stuck, well, you know where. Is it me, or is it getting awfully warm in here?

Hello everbody.
With the upcoming release of qcad 3 (and the possible free upgrade ), I plan to buy qcad 2.2.1 really soon.
Still, I have two questions before buying:
- When I order my download location, which version of Qcad can I download? Or more precisely, can I download Windows AND Linux versions with only one license? Or have I to pay one for every version I want?
- Do you plan to add a function/menu entry that can "Remove duplicate elements" in Qcad 3 (say remove 1 of 2 lines that have the same start and end points)
Thank you for reading.

Yoga-Inspired Shoulder Strengthening Exercises
In my youth, I had terrible experiences with my shoulders separating and dislocating at various times during sports. I had my first reconstructive surgery at 18 years old on my right shoulder. This was the result of a year's worth of extreme snowboarding accidents. Three years later, I was back on the operating table — this time for my left shoulder. After the second surgery, my upper body was extremely tight. Over the years, I had developed major issues with larger muscle groups in my upper body trying to overcompensate for the smaller, weaker muscles surrounding both of my shoulder joints. Even after months of physical therapy, I was worried I might have complications with my shoulders for the rest of my life.

Washington Program
Welcome, Internship Supervisors
A commitment to full-time internships and their prestigious liberal arts background at the Claremont Colleges make the Washington Program interns among the most professional and sought-after interns in Washington. While working full-time, students study academic topics such as foreign policy, Congress, campaigns and finance, the Executive Branch and leadership, and the modern federal system of administrative government. Students thus apply classroom knowledge to real-world challenges through their 40 hour per week internships. In addition, the connections they make -- and the colleagues who serve as mentors -- have an enormous impact on their professional lives. Your organization can benefit from the creative minds of the Claremont Colleges' students.
Interns on the Washington Program are responsible for obtaining their own internships. Program faculty contact prospective interns with current opportunities, and we have an extensive list of organizations available to interns. Please email the Off-Campus Study Office if you have an internship opening or if you are interested in having your organization listed as a prospective internship site.
