Booth, Lockett and Farnell Dissect Amir Khan's Defeat
By Shaun Brown
I will always remember watching Breidis Prescott hitting the pads moments before he fought Amir Khan in 2008. Despite the booming sounds that emanated from his dressing room as the underdog attacked the mitts, I still could not have predicted what was to follow that night in Manchester.
Jorge Rubio, Khan's trainer for the Prescott fight, was gone shortly afterwards, Khan would rebuild with Freddie Roach over in L.A. and the American dream worked for "King" Khan. Andrey Kotelnyk, Paulie Malignaggi, Marcos Rene Maidana and Zab Judah would assist in the reinvention of the 2004 Olympian in the next few years. Lamont Peterson aside it seemed like the road to money and Mayweather would offer no more bumps. Danny Garcia wasn't so much a bump, but a car that came out of nowhere and wiped the Brit off the track. Few predicted it, but the danger signs are never far away when he fights.
Had Khan taken his eye off the ball once again? Did he really have the arrogance to think that it was just another fight before stardom? Three of Britain's leading trainers; Adam Booth, Gary Lockett and Anthony "Arnie" Farnell gave their reaction to the wreckage that was left behind in the Mandalay Bay last Saturday night.
BS: What in your opinion did Khan do wrong?
Booth: "No head movement. There's no feinting when he attacks, he just comes in on tracks and carries on in the same manner all the time. Danny Garcia said he wasn't going to be able to match him for speed, but what he did do was upset that by beating him to the punch."
Lockett: "He let Garcia's Dad get into his head. The first two rounds he got the distance right and used his feet well but for some reason, I don't know if it's because he smelled blood, he just went for it. He's his own worst enemy. He hasn't really had a loss at the highest level and he really should have got past Garcia with relative ease. This is a bad looking loss on his record."
Farnell: "Against Garcia he didn't make use of his best assets. He does that thing that Manny Pacquiao does when he gets hit, he just wants to fire back without thinking. I wasn't surprised he got beat. I watched some of his sparring for it on YouTube and he was going at it like crazy, getting hit and taking some crazy shots."
BS: When a fighter doesn't stick to a gameplan and throws it away like that how frustrating is it for you the trainer?
Booth: "If he's man enough to admit he made that mistake then you have to respect that. Look, he's still only 25 and he's had a lot of big fights. He's had a fast tracked career from the start and he has to go with what he knows. He's never really had the luxury of taking his time throughout his career."
Lockett: "Of course it's frustrating, but fighters are fighters. You can train for ten weeks, work on gameplans and then they go out and do what he did. With Amir Khan, on his best day very few can beat him because of his fast feet, hands and hand to eye co-ordination."
Farnell: "That's bad, and as a trainer it pisses you off, but I know what it's like to be a fighter and get into the ring. Fighters can't hold back from the red mist sometimes. The way he fights I don't think anyone has actually taught him how to fight 'In the pocket'. His chin's in the air when he throws body shots, his outside fighting is unbelievable, but on the inside he's not as comfortable."
BS: What has to change for him to have a successful comeback?
Booth: "It's impossible without knowing, you can't really make an assessment on what you see. Only he knows what he does on a daily basis. There's a lot of talk about people wanting him to leave his trainer and that's the problem with boxing today. Fighters treat their trainers like sweet shops – they just jump in and out gyms. That's not good for anyone's progression. Khan already jumped after one loss I don't agree he should do it again."
"His biggest asset is his blistering hand speed, but his foot speed hides the fact that he doesn't have much head movement. He's gotten away with it because he is so damn fast; he's relied on that speed. He's also got long arms which he's able to hide behind. He's a professional version of what he used to do as an amateur. You can't have speed without haste."
Lockett: "I think he needs to stop coming out with statements saying he's Britain's premier fighter. I don't know why he has to do that. If I was his trainer I'd be happy with other fighters having the limelight. When Khan does that he heaps so much pressure on himself. And when he does get beat, a lot of people, not myself included, say, 'Well it serves you right'. You don't hear a guy like Froch saying he's Britains premier fighter do you?"
"He's been fast tracked from the beginning and that can work one of two ways, sink or swim. For as long as he's been a professional he's still very amateurish. He rushes his combinations and there are just parts of the pro game which he hasn't picked up."
Farnell: "He only has to make a few tweaks, but all this stuff of him going to the Philippines and places like that where he's basically second best isn't good for the kid. He needs 100% focus, I feel sorry for him because he has so much talent."
"A few days before the fight I saw Amir saying, 'I'm a superstar now'. Now if you're talking to yourself like that then you are already thinking you're there. He should have somebody telling him to get his arse out of the clouds and stop with all that Twitter nonsense."
Writers comment: Sorry Arnie, hope you don't mind if I leave my Twitter handle @shaun_brown
Interesting article, didn't agree much with Booth or Lockett but I think Anthony Farnell's comments were sound: * he doesn't make full use of his best assets * he has no inside fighting game and has never been taught one…Comment by Ray* on 07-19-2012
This is the truth!!! He need to read this and this needs to hit home for me, Another reason why Khan isnt liked over here in the UK, He has more american fans than brit.Comment by FrankieBruno on 07-19-2012
reading all the good advice from all the other trainers begs the question what has Roach done and Khan done to improve his weaknesses ? Ive never heard Roach point of these weaknessesComment by Boxing Sage on 07-19-2012
Amir Khan only has one person to blame for his loss and that's his arrogant azz!Comment by marvin douglas on 07-19-2012
Khan's biggest problem is his stance. His right foot is too far behind his left. As a result, he can't turn his hips through his punches, particularly when he throws a right cross. He simply has no power on that…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (11)

Constructed in 1874, the Victorian Tudor-style country house hotel has 31 well-equipped, en-suite bedrooms.
Brian Huggett designed the 6,470 yard Springs Golf Course in 133 acres of parkland, which borders the River Thames and includes three lakes.
Near Wallingford, Oxon. (15 miles SE of Oxford, 12 miles NW of Reading)
Just an hour from central London, The Springs Hotel and Golf Club is nestled deep within the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside. Constructed in 1874 and overlooking a spring fed lake it's an excellent example of a Victorian Tudor-style country house. The uniquely English atmosphere of the oak panelled reception halls is continued throughout the hotel. Many of the 32 well-equipped en-suite bedrooms have balconies with views over the lake and in every facet, the Springs manages to retain those traditional values associated with the great country houses of England. The award winning Lakeside Restaurant overlooks the spring fed lake. There is also good food in the less formal atmosphere of the clubhouse. Relaxation away from the golf course includes a croquet lawn, course fishing on the banks of the River Thames and an outdoor swimming pool open in the summer.
With a testing course and recently renovated clubhouse The Springs is an excellent choice. It also only 12 mins drive from Henley the orginal home of Brakspear Bitter!

I have read all the serious posts in this thread with a lot of good points made. I accept Chelsea cannot be written off and neither can Liverpool based on their position last season and the momentum with which they finished the season. Arsenal seem to be lacking something to be a first choice to win the title, but I can't ignore their 21 game unbeaten run in the league. Likewise our rivals should write off Manchester United at their peril. 4 in a row is a huge ask, but we're 75% of the way there and my heart tells me we will do it! Come on United!

I recently revived my WP blog (linedriven.com) after 18 months. In the Pagelines > Platform theme, I was always able to display a 150x150 left-aligned image to accompany post thumbnails on the home page. Now when I create new posts and insert an image the image displays in the post page, but not in the thumbnail that appears on the main page.
It makes for a pretty bleak front page, and I'd like to get the images to display in thumbnail again. Can anyone advise how to fix?

The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/506,509, filed Jul. 21, 2009, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,892,337 B2, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/942,186, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,597,731 B2, filed Sep. 15, 2004, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/503,326, filed Sep. 15, 2003, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The nature and mode of operation of embodiments of the air recirculation system will now be described-with reference to the accompanying drawing Figures, in which:
Initially, it should be appreciated that like drawing numbers on different drawing views identify identical structural elements of embodiments of the air recirculation system with integrated vacuum motor and filter. It also should be appreciated that figure proportions and angles are not always to scale in order to clearly portray the attributes of the described embodiments.
It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Various modifications and equivalent arrangements are intended to be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Adverting to the drawings,
A pre-filter layer 20 is configured to entrap and retain particles from smoke or other vapors found in the atmosphere of the area where multi-port filter 10 is in operation. A suitable pre-filter material is a polyester filter media available from Mart Corporation, Sanford, N.C. having a weight of about 4 ounces per square yard and a thickness of approximately 0.5 inch. Pre-filter layer 20 is constructed to entrap and contain particulate on the order of 3.0 microns or greater. Other suitable materials, such as hydrophobic materials, which are well known to those skilled in the art, may also be used. An example of such hydrophobic material is expanded PTFE membrane from W.L. Gore and Associates, Inc. of Elkton, Md.
A second filter layer 21, configured to retain particles 3 microns or less in size, is shown in
Multi-port filter 10 may also include an activated carbon layer 22 and/or a post filter layer 23. Activated carbon layer 22 is comprised of activated charcoal or other suitable materials well known in the art designed to entrap and contain gases, odors, organic vapors, and toxins that may be present in the atmosphere being filtered. Post-filter layer 23 is formed from any material suitable to entrap and contain particulate matter, such as melt blown polypropylene media with polypropylene facing and backing. An example of suitable post-filter material is Delta Aire.™. Filtration Media from Johns Manville of Denver Colo. having an atmospheric efficiency range of 90-95% at 0.5 microns. Post-filter layer 23 may be placed in series downstream from activated carbon layer 22 to entrap and contain activated carbon fines.
Although multi-port filter 10 is shown with all filter layers contained in a single housing 11, in an alternate embodiment, one or more of the filter layers may be contained in a separate cartridge with inputs and outputs creating a pathway for a fluid stream to pass through separate filter layer cartridges. Such an embodiment allows for the individual changing of separate filter layers at different times rather than all filter layers at the same time.
Although female intake ports 12-15 are shown in
To limit the use of a filter to its designed life, it is helpful to provide one or more mechanisms and/or methods designed to inactivate the system in which the filter is being used after the desired filter life is reached.
In an alternative embodiment, power is supplied to recirculation system 30 and activates control panel 32, timer displays and other components. Vacuum motor 26 is activated by turning on a separate motor off/on control switch. In this embodiment, after filter life reaches zero, vacuum motor 26 cannot be turned on by the off/on switch after it has been off for a predetermined amount of time unless a new filter is placed into filter socket 36, even if the main power is continuously applied to control panel 32.
In an alternate embodiment, multi-port filter 10 may include one or more of a variety of integrated circuits to monitor remaining or accumulated filter life. Examples of such integrated circuits include an RFID tag with an antenna fixed on or within multi-port filter 10 in communication with and RFID antenna and electronics in recirculation system 30 wherein such communication would include the transmission of changing filter operating life information between multi-port filter 10 and recirculation system 30. The RFID tag includes a memory portion, which stores the filter profile. A filter profile includes information regarding filter history including, but not limited to, type of filter, manufacturing batch number and/or serial number, rated filter life, date of manufacture, and a free form notepad. In addition, the RFID tag possesses a transmission portion enabling it to communicate filter profile information to a microcontroller or other controlling device in contaminant removal system 30. Through this communicated information, the microcontroller is able to monitor the depletion of filter life for each individual filter. In one embodiment, an RFID tag reader supports the ISO15693 standard for communicating with tags at 13.56 MHz. One example of an RFID tag reader is a TI 56700 RFID reader manufactured by Texas Instruments.
It is important that the antenna in the RFID system generate a voltage within the tag circuit to enable the tag to operate. An inductive antenna may be used formed from one or more loops of wire with each additional loop approximately doubling the inductance of the antenna. To maximize the efficiency of the antenna, a parallel resonate circuit may be used and tuned to the ISO 15693 frequency of 13.56 MHz. In one embodiment, the planes of the loop antenna and the tag are parallel. However, if conductive material is between the antenna and the tag or within an inch of the tag or antenna, the operational range of the RFID system is affected. In one embodiment, an antennal loop can be oriented around filter housing 38 and positioned such that the tag is within approximately 0.5 inches from at least part of the antenna. In another embodiment, as shown in
Alternate embodiments of integrated circuits include an EPROM or a microcontroller. An EPROM is programmed for a specific number of filter life hours. As a filter is used, the EPROM records the reduction in filter life. After zero filter life is reached, vacuum means 26 is shut off, a new filter is installed and the EPROM is reset to the programmed filter life. In one embodiment, the EPROM will not shut down vacuum means 26 at zero filter life, but will not allow a restart after power to vacuum means 26 is shut off until the filter is replaced. It will be recognized that filters other than multi-port filter 10 or filter 36 may include such integrated circuits.
Other embodiments of filter life timers (not shown) include, but are not limited to, such devices as pressure drop indicators and traps with on-off floats. Pressure drop indicators are used to indicate filter usage by increasing flow pressure differential between the input and output side of the filter. Traps with on-off floats include a part that gradually floats upward to shut off a filter as contaminants accumulate in the trap.
In addition, a remote controller, such as an RS232 interface may be used to control either recirculation system 30 or a surgical assembly control service head 50, as described below. The remote controller may be connected to a microcontroller, computer, or other device that controls recirculation system 30 or control service head 50.
Walls 57 of service head housing 51 contain knockout panels 52, which are provided to allow access to the surgical assemblies. Knockout panels 52 also allow cords, cables, power lines and other items to extend from the surgical assemblies to desired locations within the enclosure. Access is also provided for electrical outlets, such as US standard 120-volt outlets. In an alternate embodiment, service head housing 51 may include preformed holes, rather than knock-out panels 52, to allow access to the surgical assemblies. It will be recognized that knockout panels may be placed in various locations on service head housing 51 to allow a custom arrangement of knockout panels 52.
An access hole 53 is shown defined by a top 54 of service head housing 51. Access hole 53 enables various control and power lines to extend into and out of service head housing 51 to reach surgical assemblies, vacuum means 26, and other components housed in or on service head housing 51. Access hole 53 may also provide a route for an exhaust duct through which vacuum means 26 forces air out of control service head 50.
In an alternate embodiment, surgical assemblies 58 and/or other components are located in control area 71 or in other location(s) outside enclosure 70, while the switches, keypads, displays, knobs, and other devices that control and monitor those components may be located in control service head 50 within enclosure 70. Communication between the controls on control service head 50 and the various surgical assemblies 58 may be by microphones linked by cables or cords with USB connections, wireless communication arrays configured on 802.11 standards or equivalent systems, including systems using Bluetooth or other interfacing technology, fiber optic cables, hoses for gas or pneumatic operations and mechanical connections or combinations of these or equivalent components known in the art.
In addition, both control service head 50 and contaminant removal system 30 may be controlled using remote control devices such as an RS232 interface.
Thus it is seen that the objects of the invention are efficiently obtained, although changes and modifications to the invention should be readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art, which changes would not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

For my first review, I'll be reviewing set 4487, from the Mini Star Wars line. Come with me as I show you the wonders of this great set.
4487 Jedi Starfighter and Slave One
Set Name: Jedi Starfighter and Slave One
Set Number: 4487
Theme: Star Wars
Sub-Theme: MINI
Released: 2003
Pieces: 53
Minifigs: 0
Price: USD: $4.00 EUR: Unkown CAD: $5.99
Price Obtained At: CAD: $4.00
Flickr Set
The Box
Visible on the front of the box are two of the three components of the set, against a background of a foreign planet. Some nice touches are the laser shots and the MINI logo.
Here we can see the other three MINI sets from this series, as well as the third component from each set, which make up a TIE Bomber.
The side of the box, containing the standard multi-lingual warning.
Interior Cardboard:
Since the box is made of plastic, they included an interior fold-out piece of cardboard.
Since many of you are probably wondering if you can actually build on the brick that is built into the box, I decided to take a few pictures for you guys.
We can see that yes, you can build on the box, but.....
....Only in the corner. If you try to build on the centre, the box falls in on itself.
The image is the same as the box image, although I was expecting the fold out variety common in impulse sets.
Random Page:
Here are steps five and six. The only problem I found was distinguishing Dark Grey from Black, but luckily none of the parts are in both colours in this set.
Of the box:
All the pieces spread out....
Rare/Printed/Interesting Pieces:
Some nice printed pieces, along with quite a few useful Dark Red/Dark Blue and Sand Green pieces. My favourite has to be the 1x1 Trans-Black tile, though .
Extra Pieces:
Some great extras, including two rare coloured 1x1 tiles.
The Build:
Jedi Starfighter:
The base is starting to take shape.
The completed Starfighter. To the best of my knowledge, it looks quite accurate for this scale.
Slave One:
The base. Loving those Dark Blue headlight bricks.
The completed Slave One. Some very useful pieces in there.
TIE Bomber Section:
The third piece of the set. A part of a TIE Bomber. Each of the four sets contains a piece of it, and when you have all of them, you can assemble a TIE Bomber.
Completed Set:
The set in all it's glory. I think it was well worth the price.
Minfigs: N/A
Parts: 9.5/10 Four wonderful printed parts along with useful pieces in rare colours.
Price: 9/10 I think $5.99 is very reasonable for a set like this. Not only are the parts great, it's also licensed and the models themselves are great.
Playability: 7/10 For a set this size, I don't think you can expect that much playability, but even so, it is rather fun to swoosh.
Design: 9/10 The designs look spot on, especially with the printed pieces.
Overall: 34.5/40 A great set, if I found it again, I would definitely snag it.

I am looking to create a directory with post types. My current structure is:
- listings (post type)
- categories (category)
- locations (category type)
My question is I want a to be able to show a landing page for a combination of category and location with a nice slug. I could do this by creating the same sub categories in the locations as my main categories but that seems to be a lot of work. Is there a way to show all posts belonging to both a category and location?
Example would be:
Main Category: Flowers /flowers
Location: New York /locations/new-york
What I'm trying to do: /location/new-york/flowers
So any listing that is art of new york location and flowers would show up in the archive page for: /location/new-york/flowers

Frog Pond LbNA # 11669
|Placed Date
|Oct 17 2004
|Moss Rock Preserve, Hoover, AL
|Found By
|Last Found
|May 25 2015
|Hike Distance
New hiding spot as of 5/24/15! This letterbox has been fixed up to new condition. A Hitchhiker has been included as an added bonus for the first person to find this box!
Difficulty: 2 options - one is a 3 mile roundtrip hike, the other is a very quick walk down a trail and back. Once there, it should be somewhat easy to find. Note: Bring your own ink (green is best) and pen/pencil.
Frog Pond is located at the Moss Rock Preserve in Hoover. Instead of a pond, it is more of a muddy slough with a lot of loud bullfrogs.
There are 2 ways to get to this letterbox: you can either park at Boulder Field Trailhead parking lot, find "Old Hat" and continue on the trail to Frog Pond OR you can use the Sulfur Springs Trailhead parking lot. Option 1 will offer you a beautiful hike through a the nature preserve whereas option 2 will offer you a very quick find.
Both options lead you to a clearing with a lot of gravel on the red colored ground. If coming from Old Hat, Frog Pond will be on your left. If coming from the Sulfur Springs parking lot, it will be on your right.
From the clearing, you'll see a post with a sign marking Frog Pond (this sign does NOT include a number). Standing next to that sign, walk 14 paces SSE down the trail towards 3 boulders near the road (Preserve Parkway). Once you've walked the 14 paces, look to your left for a tree leaning at about a 45 degree angle. About 3 paces behind that tree is another tree with a large mossy hump at its base. You'll find the letterbox in the hump hidden behind some rocks. Take precaution when reaching in and make sure to re-hide very well.

Dear Abby: I was bullied from second grade all through school. In junior high the abuse was both emotional and physical, and it happened on a daily basis. My parents' response was that maybe I was the problem.
What would have been my 10-year high school reunion was two weeks ago. Needless to say, I didn't go. Since the reunion, I have received more than 30 messages via Facebook from former classmates. Everyone apparently wanted to apologize to me.
– Lost For Words
Dear Lost For Words: You do not have to say anything to any of these people, and you do not have to be "nice." Silence sends a strong message. Understand that by apologizing they are trying to make themselves feel better. It's also possible that maturity has caused them to realize what they did was wrong. However, you are not obligated to accept their apologies if doing so will make you feel worse.
Struggling with daughter
Dear Abby: I am a single mother struggling with my 12-year-old daughter. For the last three months she has been withdrawn, uncommunicative, rude, mean and treats me with contempt. We have been in counseling and are going back again.
– Single Mom in Canada
Dear Single Mom: Any abrupt change in behavior should be regarded as a red flag. Your daughter should be evaluated by her pediatrician to be sure there isn't an underlying cause. Could she have been molested, be using drugs, pills, alcohol, etc.? Do her friends act this way? Does she HAVE friends? Changes like this don't usually happen overnight.

If he didn't raise any eyebrows in his Octagon debut against George Roop back at UFC 137, highly regarded featherweight Hatsu Hioki did so on his native soil against stalwart Bart Palaszewski at UFC 144.
The reigning Shooto lightweight and Sengoku featherweight champion did more than live up to his reputation and billing -- he suddenly came across like an attractive fight for UFC kingpin Jose Aldo.
This was a feat for the "Iron Broom," who is largely considered the No. 2 featherweight in the world, including in ESPN's Power Rankings. Though he occupies the space, it felt a little like window-dressing to UFC-centric fans who only had the Roop bout to fill in the context. But for those who have followed Hioki's career overseas and saw him notch victories over Marlon Sandro and Takeshi Inoue in recent years, this felt more like it.
Hioki managed to dominate Rounds 1 and 3 by timing out his jab and setting up his takedowns for a unanimous decision (officially 30-27, 29-28, 29-28). Once he had "Bartimus" on the floor, Hioki dominated the position and kept him in survival mode throughout. Hioki was the quicker fighter; he reacted well to everything Palaszewski threw at him, and he capitalized on mistakes. Though he was a little tentative in the second round, Hioki was the dominant fighter throughout the bout, moving him to 2-0 in the UFC.
More importantly, it gave Hioki some wind behind his sails in his quest to face Aldo. Hioki has been a very quiet contender up until now, to the point that fellow 145ers like Dustin Poirier, Erik Koch and Chan Sung Jung (and even non-feathers like Frankie Edgar) were getting more mileage as legit threats to Aldo's belt. But it was a big statement fight with Palaszewski, which was a must for him to present himself as an imposition to Aldo. Hioki landed three takedowns, worked from dominant positions and was a tyranny when on top. It was the vintage Hioki that the UFC could use in marketing a title fight.
In other words, it was exactly the kind of fight that Hioki needed to make a case. And timing is on his side, too. If the UFC does indeed hold a card in Sao Paulo in June with Anderson Silva-Chael Sonnen II as the main event, a perfect table-setter would be Hioki-Aldo.
Of all the Japanese fighters on display in Saitama at UFC 144, Hioki's showing was perhaps the most impressive. And given Okami's loss to Tim Boetsch, the baton has been passed to Hioki to bring a UFC back to the Land of the Rising Sun.

U.S. Victims of Chile's Coup: The Uncensored File
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO
Published: February 13, 2000
Twenty-six years ago, as the forces of Gen. Augusto Pinochet overthrew the Socialist government of Salvador Allende, two American supporters of President Allende were killed in Chile under circumstances that stirred suspicions of C.I.A. involvement.
American officials categorically denied any role in the young men's deaths, which were dramatized in the 1982 movie ''Missing.''
Compelled by the Freedom of Information Act, the government in 1980 released the results of classified internal investigations, heavily censored in black ink, that appeared to clear the American and Chilean governments of any responsibility.
But now, those thick black lines have been stripped away. Spurred by the arrest of General Pinochet in 1998, President Clinton has ordered the declassification of ''all documents that shed light on human rights abuses, terrorism and other acts of political violence during and prior to the Pinochet era in Chile.''
Some of those documents make clear for the first time that the State Department concluded from almost the beginning that the Pinochet government had killed the men, Charles Horman, 31, and Frank Teruggi, 24. The investigators speculated, moreover, that the Chileans would not have done so without a green light from American intelligence.
''U.S. intelligence may have played an unfortunate part in Horman's death,'' said one newly declassified memo. ''At best, it was limited to providing or confirming information that helped motivate his murder by the government of Chile. At worst, U.S. intelligence was aware the government of Chile saw Horman in a rather serious light and U.S. officials did nothing to discourage the logical outcome of government of Chile paranoia.''
With most of the blacked-out portions now restored, the documents declassified by the State Department illustrate how exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act -- a law that was meant to reduce secrecy -- can be misused.
Two principal exceptions that the department used allow the government to withhold information on the grounds of national security and executive privilege. ''They're not protecting national security information at all,'' said Peter Kornbluh of the nonprofit National Security Archives, which promotes the declassification of government documents. ''Preventing embarrassment is not an exemption clause.''
Even after extensive Senate intelligence committee hearings in the 1970's, the American role in the overthrow of Mr. Allende remains a matter of dispute and conjecture. Mr. Kornbluh said that other government agencies responsible for carrying out United States policy in Chile, including the C.I.A. and the Pentagon, have so far failed to release key records on the era.
Regarding Mr. Horman's death, Mark Mansfield, a spokesman for the C.I.A., recently released a 22-year-old letter denying any role by the agency and said it would show the public files on the case this spring.
The State Department refused to address questions about the two deaths, saying few of the people involved in the case still work for the government. The former officials, most of them retired and scattered around the country, largely disavow any responsibility for what happened.
Mr. Horman's widow, Joyce, is hoping that enough has changed to finally learn what really happened to her husband. She is asking for Washington's help in her quest for an honest explanation of his murder from the new Socialist government in Chile.
''I want to know who gave the order,'' said Mrs. Horman, who has never remarried. ''Nobody's held accountable.''
Her husband and Mr. Teruggi were friends who belonged to a group of young left-of-center Americans attracted by Mr. Allende's socialist experiment in the early 1970's. In Santiago, they worked for a newsletter that reprinted articles and clippings from American newspapers critical of United States policy.
When General Pinochet seized power on Sept. 11, 1973, Mr. Horman was at Vina del Mar, a coastal resort, with Terry Simon, a family friend from New York who was vacationing in Chile.
Ms. Simon said she and Mr. Horman saw American warships offshore and spoke to American naval officers stationed in nearby Valparaiso, who appeared elated at the coup's success. The two interpreted what they saw as proof of American connivance in the military takeover.
Eager to return to Santiago, they rode back with Capt. Ray E. Davis, chief of the United States Military Group at the American Embassy, who had been making his weekly visit to the naval station.
Two days later, as General Pinochet's forces moved to arrest thousands of people around the country, men in military uniforms abducted Mr. Horman, ransacking his apartment. His wife, Joyce, was out at the time. She never saw him again. Ms. Simon searched with Joyce for Mr. Horman and eventually flew home to New York.
Around the same time, security forces arrested Mr. Teruggi and his roommate, David Hathaway, at their apartment. They were held at the national stadium with thousands of other political prisoners. Mr. Teruggi never returned from his second interrogation.

AIG was very difficult to deal with. I had gone to several doctors and I needed to stay in the hospital ina foreign country where AIG waited copies of fax, phone numbers, receipts, emails where I had no transportation or car or even money but was in a hospital bed.
I sat in a hospital for a month and staying there for 2 months almost, with no money or insurance to rely on. It was aweful after I paid AIG money for insurance needs, they didn't make it easy for me at all.
After 6 months, I finally got my money back but the process to go through AIG claims was not worth it at all. Please don't think about AIG insurance, it was not easy to work with them, especially when you have no computer, phone, fax, email access, they treat you like you have to have all them to communicate with them. There are many companies out there that are much better than AIG, so shop and research these insurance companies when you need health insurance.

The sweetest way to get rid of overgrown hair, sugaring can be used to remove hair from all over the body, but is especially effective for those hard-to-reach or more susceptible areas where hair is fine and skin is sensitive. Although comparable to waxing because of its distinctive technique, sugaring is a more natural way to whip out wayward hairs as the sugar paste contains no chemicals or resins, but will still leave you feeling silky soft and smooth.
Unlike hot wax, the sugar paste doesn't stick to your skin, but clings to each hair individually. This means that when the hair is pulled from the root, it doesn't bruise the skin and is often considered less painful than waxing. Also, because the sugaring paste is only slightly warm, there is less chance of skin irritation and redness, plus the paste is totally soluble in water, which means any sugary stickiness can easily be removed with soap and water.
Sugaring can be performed at home DIY-style, or by a qualified beautician or therapist in a salon. Likewise you can buy a ready-made mix or make your own sugar paste, depending on how adventurous you're feeling. A simple concoction of sugar, lemon and water heated together until caramelised, the most crucial part of the process is making sure your paste has the right consistency. Not too thick or too thin, the mixture needs to drop off the spatula in the same way cake mix would. The syrupy blend can then be rolled into a ball or left as a paste, ready to be applied in strips.
Dictated only by your personal preference, the strips entail smoothing on a thin layer of paste with a spatula, firmly applying a paper or fabric strip, and then quickly removing it in the opposite direction of your hair growth. The alternative method involves rolling the ball of sugar wax upwards from your ankles to your knees, which lifts the hair as it goes. It also means you can repeatedly go over areas that need a more stubborn plucking.
Depending on how fast your hair re-sprouts, results can last up to three weeks and with time, hair should become finer and softer. There might be some initial redness and bumps immediately afterwards, but these should subside after an hour or two and can be minimised by applying cold flannels to the skin.
If you're sick of shaving but waxing scares you senseless, sugaring could provide you with a happy medium. Like any form of hair elimination, there's always the possibility of pain but as long as your chosen hairs are at least an eighth of an inch long, you should be saved from too much discomfort. It also means you don't have to save sugaring for forests of fuzz and you can use it to remove hair from your face and bikini line, as well as the legs, arms, chest and back.
Formulated thousands of years ago, sugaring has been linked back to ancient Egyptian, Greek and Indian civilisations. It was also a Middle East tradition to remove all bodily hair from the bride before her wedding day.

Chateau St. Jean Gewürztraminer Sonoma County 2008
Editorial Reviews for Chateau St. Jean Gewürztraminer Sonoma County
Nicely fruity on the nose with early notes of mulberry, black fruits and violet over some limestone notes. Rich, ripe yet transparent on the palate with lively, crisp tannins and an edge of austerity that underpins the mulberry, black raspberry and juniper/forest floor-toned palate. This finishes much more in the red fruit end of the spectrum with currant and cherry fruit lingering over a succulent, sandy soil driven base. Archetypal Chianti. 89pts
Aged in third passage barrique This has a wonderful purity to the sweet, slightly candied notes of barely ripe crushed raspberries with hints of medicinal roots, flowers and bay leaves adding contrast. In the mouth this exhibits a light to medium bodied feel and is very fruit driven with a core of black currant and raspberry fruit that exhibits excellent cut and focus. There are hints of underbrush and herbs on the palate that show up on the big, pure finish with fruit that's just a touch chunky and an almost spicy note of green anise seeds on the finale. A lovely wine, full and fresh. 90pts
which was very young with it unevolved nose of sweet, slightly smoky oak and sandy mineral tones. In the mouth this was lush and rich with great mineral cut and rigid, slightly rustic tannins that were bracing anf lingered on the licorice tinged finish. Far to young but promising indeed.
Cut red plums, smoke, hickory from the oak, a little flint, steel, apple core, lovely sweet violet note. Bright, fairly tense. I prefer the '97 to this. Tight and a bit oaky today. A bit chewy, lightly, full of bitter cherry fruit, classic austere, aggressive stuff. This is charged with fruit. Ready to beat your mouth into submission, but has fine fresh, ripe fruit. There is a lingering black cherry pit note on the finale. 91pts
Iron, limestone, flower petals, spice. This is very fine, very perfumed, blood-penetrating nose. Fresh and rich, powerful wine. This has real energy in the mouth, lovely citrus and rosehip notes, red cherry fruit, strawberry. Lovely, still youthful. A bit liquory, nice spice. Mineral follow-through, sapid, almost salty, tense and vibrant, long fruit. Almost chewy yet rather refined. 93 pts
Lovely color, still youthful looking Opens with a killer nose full of cedar and spice accents to the slight vanilla toned wild strawberry confiture fruit, gains a smoky edge and some pointy limestone notes. Lush with fruit verging on sweet but the vibrant acidity keeps it lively in the mouth, tannins are pretty much resolved and this is at peak with intense strawberry fruit, that limestone bite that give mouthgrab and a long linger finish that ends with a flourish of autumnal mushroom. Superb,

Four glasses
Clear and clean aromas of green apple, lemon and sugar. Smooth and flavorful with a complex mix of lemon candy, cream, apple.
Lots of cream and pears in the nose, and a fresh vegetative smell. Light minerally body with some mild buttery notes. Slightly tart finish.
Nice strawberry fruit on the nose which is a contrast to its deep violet hue. Structured and complex, yet with a smooth mouthfeel, subtle tannins and bright acidity
Bright, tart fruit with a balanced acidity, woodsy flavors (pinecone, cedar), good weight and smoothness. Very well balanced.
Overpowering salinity/brine flavor, gets a little better after a half hour in the glass. Light body. Tangy and fruity on the palette followed by an array of interesting tart flavors. Fine tannins. The salinity kills it for me, but lots of people seem to like that.
Enjoy the aroma of apples with a buttery taste. Goes great with our Dominos thin crust and buffalo wings ; )
External Reviews for Chateau St. Jean Gewürztraminer Sonoma County
This is a ripe full-bodied wine with rich apricot flavor accented with bright acidity and notes of ginger. A finely balanced wine that finishes on a lovely green-plum note. Wine Enthusiast.
One of the superstars of the vintage it boasts an inky/purple color as well as abundant notes of blueberry liqueur graphite truffles acacia flowers and subtle toast. Full-bodied opulent and already easy to drink this large-scaled wine possesses high levels of tannin but they are relatively well-concealed by the extravagant fruit glycerin texture and density of this compelling Troplong Mondot. This impressive wine may shut down after bottling and require 4-5 years of cellaring. It has the potential to last at least 15-20 years. Bravo! From a 63-acre vineyard on the high plateau (called the Plateau of Mondot) adjacent to the famous limestone hillside the Cote Pavie the 2012 Troplong Mondot is another fabulous success. Cropped at 31 hectoliters per hectare with malolactic in barrel this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon hit 14.2% natural alcohol. Three-fourths of the production went into the grand vin. Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
The concentrated blueberry, black plum and cassis notes are supported by fresh acidity, with layers of wildflower, pepper and mineral expanding on the finish. Drink now.
The combination of barrel and tank fermentation for this wine has resulted in bright, forward aromatics with beautifully balanced fruit and oak. The texture is soft, with round oak tannins and well-integrated acidity. The layers of melon, pear and pineapple are enhanced by rich toasty oak that leads to a long finish.
Twisted 2012 Old Vine Zinfandel is medium-bodied with aromas of black cherry, red currant, blackberry bramble and a hint of spice. Concentrated ripe fruit, dark berry flavors and black pepper carry through to the palate while nicely balanced acidity and plush tannins lead to a lingering finish. Enjoy Twisted Old Vine Zinfandel with braised short ribs, BBQ chicken pizza or pulled pork sliders. - WineryAlcohol: 13.5%Total Acidity: 0.62 grams/100mlpH: 3.56
Der Wein ist vollfruchtig, mit einer feinen Blume. Er zeigt sich so wie seine Umgebung, herzlich, voller Kraft und eigenem Charakter.
A juicy, fleshy palate is supported by ripe cherry and blackberry fruit. This is delicately built with fine, lingering tannins - wrapped up in integrated, well seasoned oak. A wine that is ready for immediate enjoyment with a view to cellaring for 7 to 10 years from vintage -Winery
Food Pairings for Chateau St. Jean Gewürztraminer Sonoma County
Tasting Notes:
Fragrant aromas of apple blossom, peach and hints of lychee begin the nose of this light and refreshing Gewurztraminer.

Made from a blend of Sangioveto, Canaiolo and other complementary grapes, this very dry Tuscan Chianti is brilliant ruby red with an ample bouquet of violets, iris and vanilla followed by layers of fruit on the palate.

He said that he needed my bank card info. to withdraw the $200.00, so being scared of the judgment threat I gave it to him. Later that night after talking to free legal advice on internet I called and reported my debit card lost and they froze my acct. so they could not get the $200.00.I then checked my last years bank statement and found that there was no deposit into my acct. from FastCash International. They also threatened to call my employer stating that I could possibly lose my job if I did not pay.

The Virgins - Flashbacks, Memories and Dreams (Free Download)
The Virgins are back in the saddle with a new single that will appear on their forthcoming Strike Gently album due out next month. And with the new song comes that old feeling that the 80's influence is still among us. Luckily though, The Virgins managed to keep the groove of the era that people enjoyed, and expanded upon its subtle genius that was overly-flaunted when it first emerged. Check out The Virgins new tune "Flashbacks, Memories and Dreams" and grab it for free through the player below. It will probably be the only time in your life you are allowed to grab anything from a virgin for free, so you might as well take advantage...

my account.
On Aug 9, 2009, I called to opt-out. RBC's Sebastian said the new, higher apr was for new purchases only and he did not honor my opt-out. Since then, I have received statements with much higher apr and higher minimum payment. I talked with another RBC rep who told me that it was RBC's decision to honor the opt-out, or not.
I am now on collections for refusing to pay the much higher monthly payments. Frankly, I couldn't pay them if I wanted to. Rent and the electric bill and groceries would not be paid, if I paid RBC's APR and minimum payments.
The same opt-out was sent to me by Capital One and Chase. I called by their deadline and now am paying the old, lower APR's and same minimum payments on their now closed accounts.
Until this happened, I had A-1 credit with RBC, always on time.

Lab-Tested Anti-Cancer Marinade for Your Fav Grilled Meat
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
This is a recipe I saved out of a usaweekend magazine years ago. I tidied it away and, of course couldn't find it again, until today. So I thought I would copy it here where I can always find it and you can too. I have put down 4 servings, but of course it will depend on what you'll be grilling.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 118.29 ml packed brown sugar
- 88.74 ml olive oil
- 59.16 ml cider vinegar
- 3 medium garlic cloves, crushed
- 44.37 ml grainy mustard
- 59.16 ml lemon juice
- 7.39 ml salt
- Mix all in a large bowl or zip bag. Add the meat of your choice; coat all sides. Marinate 5-10 minutes. (You may soak longer to intensify flavors, but tests show longer marination does not increase anti-cancer activity.) Remove meat from marinade and place on hot grill. Remove meat from grill as soon as it's done: Longer grilling produces more carcinogens (cancer-causing agents).
Most Helpful
I tried this recipe years ago, ( after seeing it in the USA Weekend magazine, too) and it is the best marinade recipe I have had. I added a little Cajun seasoning spice to it, and that adds a lot of pizazz. I highly recommend trying this the next time you grill. Yum - steaks tomorrow.
I can't attest to the anti-cancer claim, but this is certainly a tasty marinade. And easy! I cut the recipe in half, which was just enough for a flank steak. Unfortunately, this was most likely our last grilling session of the year, since it is going into our typical Pac. NW fall weather! :) Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.
This is one of my favorite marinades. My mom got this recipe from a friend when I was a child and made it often. She called it "Cancer Fighting Chicken Marinade" We top with Muenster cheese and pop back in the oven for 5 minutes. It was always my choice for my birthday dinner ;) I'm making this tonight!!

Atlantica Online is a turn based strategy massively multiplayer online published by nDoors, but was later acquired by Nexon. The game features turn-based combat with the player's avatar and several mercenaries. Battles are fought on a 3 vs. 3 battle, but at later levels, the battle expands to 9 vs. 9. Featuring a vast world representing the real world ranging from Asia to America. With several mercenaries to choose from, your party will constantly change. The gameplay of this plays out sort of like Disciple II. With a recent patch, TROY, the game expanded gameplay with a variety of grid-based missions. This can be compared to grid-based strategies such as Fire Emblem, Advanced Wars, and Tactics Ogre.
The game interface is pretty complicated with a wide assortment of menus. Inventory space isn't much of a problem in this game unlike some MMOs; for each mercenary you hire, you obtain more bag space. There is an auto-move button in case you get a lost on a quest--with a click of a button--your character will head towards the target. Although that is very convenient, the game is basically run through with that button. I rarely ever actually manually moved my character from one place to another unless I was attack a monster. The actual battle is pretty straightforward; you have a set amount of set for all your mercenaries to attack/heal/defend/buff. After the time is up, your opponent strikes so it's basically hitting each other back and forth until one is victorious. As simple as it sounds, it eventually gets to the point to where you're going to position your mercenaries. For example, melee attacks can only attack the front row, meaning your front row will be tanking the damage, etc. If the player's avatar falls in battle, your mercenaries will flee regardless of the remaining enemies. It gets pretty interesting at higher levels since you fight wide assortments of enemies throughout.
In the TROY update, you're able to take your mercenaries into a grid-based battle. In this mode, you move across a grid and clear the given objective, your skills are tweaked a little to match the grid, and you are given structures that can upgrade and build vehicles which can change the tide of battle.
In terms of other things to do than fight, there isn't much. There's crafting, but that requires you to build up stamina, which is done by fighting and the process of creating the item requires you to fight to pass the time. In PvP, you are given the option to duel other players or enter in occasional tourneys for prizes. The PvP didn't really seem very unbalanced because of limits on which class of mercenaries you're allowed to carry. Each mercenary is graded from A to D, A being the strongest. In PvP, it's really how strong your equipment is and how you built your mercenaries.
In a nutshell, this game is pretty unique and is worth a try if you love turn based RPGs. So if you're looking for something different for MMOs, try Atlantica.
-Unique game play incorporating turn based strategy into an MMO
-Build up you team of 9 with up to tons of mercenaries each with different skills and abilities along with your own avatar who wields a pre-selected weapon at character creation
- Upgrade and manage you mercenaries with skills and equipment
-Search function of towns allow easy management when finding what items you need
-Towns offer many necessary items at a set price, no more will people take advantage of the market
-Auto-move function allows you to go where you need whether it be an NPC location, quest location, or monster location
-Unique crafting system, train yourself to create armor, medicine, food, jewelry, etc; the more you craft, the more your crafting skills go up
-Vastness of the world may leave you using Auto-move a lot
-May turn repetitive at times
-Mounts require cash
-Some mercenaries require you to purchase them
-Exclusive expensive grade A mercenaries available through cash, giving some people the advantage

Founded in 2000, Nakheel Properties is a Dubai based real estate developer. The company was initially owned by Dubai World, but was separated as part of the restructuring completed in July 2011. Nakheel is now 100% owned by the government of Dubai through the Dubai Financial Support Fund (DFSF). The end of restructuring was marked with the issuance of Sukuk to its trade creditors. Nakheel is one of the largest real estate companies in the UAE by size of its land bank. It has development rights over 1 bn square feet of onshore land and right to reclaim over 4 bn square feet of seabed area, of which 300 mn square feet has already been reclaimed. Some of the notable properties of the company in Dubai are Palm Jumeirah, The World, Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Village, Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Heights, Ibn Battuta Mall, Discovery Gardens, International City, The Gardens, Al Furjan, and Dragon Mart.
Nakheel 2016 Sukuk is one of the highly sought after papers in the Middle East region owing to general improvement in Dubai' macroeconomic environment, scarcity of high yield papers in the region, and the company's improving track record of delivering several residential projects in Dubai. We expect Nakheel to continue to show strong operating performance and successful deleveraging trend in the medium term.
The company was in deep trouble at the end of 2009, when the government of Dubai requested for a standstill on debt of Dubai World and some its subsidiaries including Nakheel. However, Nakheel has emerged out as a winner through this challenge. On 14 July 2010, Nakheel held formal meeting with bank creditors and Dubai to propose the restructuring terms, which were agreed unanimously. It made total payments of AED33.1 bn or ~USD9.01 bn since its restructuring. As per the top wealth management firm this debt reduction was achieved through a combination of DFSF's capital injections and equalization of existing claims.
Despite 100% ownership by the government of Dubai, Nakheel Sukuk 16s traded at a significant discount during initial months of its launch. This was largely due to the fact that trade creditors were the largest holders of the notes and they are typically don't hold or invest in bonds. They just wanted these securities to have a liquid market to get out of it and receive cash on an immediate basis to fund their regular projects.
Nakheel papers are likely to perform well in the medium term owing to strong demand for Dubai related bonds in the market. Investors are getting comfortable with Dubai's ability and willingness to repay bondholders despite high leverage debt profile of the Emirate. The other trend which is benefitting operations of Nakheel is flow of money from protest hit MENA countries – Egypt/Syria into villas/apartments in Dubai. Palm Islands are attracting a lot of demand from these buyers. We have seen it translating into strong top line results for the company in the past two years.

Vt. home where deck collapsed now damaged by fireBy Eric Francis
Correspondent | July 11,2013SHARON - The same residence where a dozen family members and partygoers were injured on the Fourth of July when a porch deck suddenly collapsed was heavily damaged by a fire Wednesday morning.
"I can't believe it. I feel so sorry for those people," Sharon Fire Captain Nathan Potter said afterwards, noting, "Those poor folks have gone through so much this week."
Potter said when dispatchers alerted Sharon's volunteer firefighters at 9 a.m. he instantly recognized the address opposite the Sharon industrial park on River Road as the same residence where numerous rescue personnel and ambulances had converged last Thursday evening for the mass casualty call.
Wednesday's fire at the Richard and Michelle Wilson residence began in the hose running from the back of the dryer in a second floor laundry room but quickly
"We had a good response and we were able to knock it down to just a hallway and a bedroom," Potter said but he smoke damage throughout the house, which sits near the bank of the White River, was still extensive.
"They had a bedroom door open on one end of it and a window open so the smoke was drawn right down through there just like chimney, Potter said, adding, "I'm guessing they are going to be out of the house for a while because the whole house smells of smoke bad and the upstairs is nothing but black."MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON - Head coach Eric Ramey has announced that the Castleton softball team will once again...

MUSIC; A Chance to Break the Pop Stranglehold
Published: May 9, 1999
(Page 3 of 5)
Labels have built their business on hits. If they had developed a model that could profit from a record that sold 200,000 copies, the way many independent labels do, they could have made money by putting out the five or so records that Ms. Mann -- or the scores of other performers in similar situations -- might have released.
This mishandling doesn't just happen with serious artists. Another merger casualty was the English teeny-bopper band Boyzone, which suffered a setback in its chance for success in America when, to meet a quarterly quota, its label, Mercury, quietly released 30,000 copies of its album before the merger instead of waiting to set up the record properly. A spokeswoman for Mercury said that the record had been released to get ''a running start'' for the band's promotional campaign this summer.
Another problem is that labels judge with weekly sales reports and not their ears, giving up on a band that doesn't do well in the short term but may generate future catalogue sales. History has proved over and over that one decade's failures (whether it's the Velvet Underground's proto-punk or Joni Mitchell's redirection into jazz) can become the next decade's classics. But the history of the music business is one of inefficiencies, dating back to the late 19th century, when less than half the sheet music released paid back the high cost of marketing the music, despite the tactic of paying well-known performers to include the song in their repertories.
''For an artist like me, who is somewhere in the middle saleswise, I've maybe had a couple of records that once made the record company money,'' said David Lowery, formerly of Camper Van Beethoven and now in Cracker on Virgin Records. ''But now, I doubt a gold record could make them money anymore. They need a platinum.''
Here is one more story, a common tale with a new twist: Josh Clayton-Felt, formerly of the rock group School of Fish, spent three years working on his second solo album for A&M Records. Every time he thought he was finished, label executives sent him back into the studio with the four words that have become anathema to working musicians, ''It needs a hit.'' Mr. Clayton-Felt turned in a total of 22 songs, then waited for executives to set a release date for the record. But after eight months, A&M was taken over by Interscope. Mr. Clayton-Felt was one of some 250 artist dropped after the Universal merger.
A free agent, Mr. Clayton-Felt asked if he could release the music he had recorded during that time elsewhere: the label said no. He asked if he could buy it back and release it himself, and again the answer was no. Label executives said they would negotiate only with a major label. So he decided he would rent a studio and record new versions of the songs. But Universal still said no: a clause in his contract prevented his rerecording the songs for five years.
BOB BERNSTEIN, a spokesman for Universal, said that Mr. Clayton-Felt had been told that his album could either be released independently for a limited term or shopped to a major label. ''If he garnered interest from a major, Universal would be willing to negotiate a sale of that record,'' he said.
For four months, Mr. Clayton-Felt wrestled with the label and with himself. ''I started to look at why it has gotten to this point, that record labels have so much power,'' he said. ''And the reason is because artists have given them far too much control. We need to start looking out for each other. But we so badly want a piece of the pie that we've knocked each other down in the process of pursuing it.''
Mr. Clayton-Felt considered changing his name to record the songs or performing them in a concert that his audience was encouraged to bootleg. Finally, he realized that there could be as many as 100 artists in similar situations because of the merger. And, legally, he could bring together a dozen or so of them and record an album on which musicians take their best songs stuck in the Universal machine and give them to another performer to record. Currently, Mr. Clayton-Felt is working on the compilation and hoping to use the proceeds to start an artist-run cooperative label.
''God, I never thought I'd say these things,'' he said after explaining his plan. But Mr. Clayton-Felt is only echoing sentiments held by Chuck D, Ms. Mann, Ms. Brooke, Mr. Lanier, Mr. Fripp and Mr. Lowery. What is more surprising is that a large number of popular musicians -- even lawyers and label executives -- are agreeing with them. No one wants to give the system another chance. The idea of the Internet, the alternative, is much more tempting.
There are three things musicians want from a major label: money for recording and touring, national marketing muscle and wide distribution. If another system could be developed that offered musicians this trinity, then perhaps when their contracts expired they would think twice about remaining with major labels. Especially considering that when asked, many artists said they would rather sell 200,000 copies of 10 records each than 7 million of 2.
