INWOOD - A Berkeley County teen is one of 100 who have been selected to be part of the Disney Dreamers Academy at Walt Disney World Resort next month.
Kelsey Orr, 18, of Inwood, will participate in the event in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., March 7-10. She was selected to participate from more than 5,000 applicants by a panel of judges, including syndicated radio and television personality Steve Harvey, according to a news release from Disney.
The application included a series of essay questions about personal stories and life dreams, according to the release.
In its sixth year, the academy allows the chosen students to participate in workshops related to career paths "ranging from animation to zoology," according to the release. The "classrooms" for the workshops are at the 40-square-mile resort, and the instructors are Disney experts, world-renowned entrepreneurs and executives.
A senior at Musselman High School, Orr says she enjoys her business classes and hopes to pursue a career in the field. According to her biography on the Disney Dreamers Academy website, she plans to attend Shepherd University.
"The sixth Disney Dreamers Academy marks another year of continued motivation, education and success," said Tracey D. Powell, executive champion of the academy, in the release. "Everyone leaves this program inspired to live their best life."
The academy is co-presented by Harvey and Essence Magazine.
According to the release, the 100 teens chosen for the academy will continue to be involved throughout the year, serving as the program's ambassadors and advisory panel as part of the Disney Dreamers Academy's Speaker Resource Group.

Young Activists Reducing Global Warming, One School Bus At A TimeOz Spies
My preschoolers are budding environmentalists – they know just what goes in the recycling bin, and they're clamoring for a compost bin at home, just like the worm-filled one they have at school. They love to dig in the dirt and water their own small patch of garden. With a little luck, and a lot of hard work, they just might become the next Jonny Cohen, Kate Stagliano, or Alec Loorz – three kids who are taking action to make the world a better place.
Jonny is the 17-year-old force behind the Greenshields Project, an effort to improve the efficiency of school buses by making them more aerodynamic. Jonny, with the help of friends, family, teachers, folks from Northwestern University, and a bus company owner, created an airfoil made of fiberglass that attaches to the roof of existing, gas-guzzling yellow school buses. It improves fuel efficiency by 10 – 20 %, keeping carbon emissions down and saving schools money.
When she was in the third grade, Katie Stagliano started Katie's Kropps by donating a single cabbage to feed hungry people, and then working with her school and neighborhood to create gardens, the harvest of which helped even more people. Now, she's providing funds so that other kids can create gardens to feed the hungry in their communities, too – by providing food that has a small carbon footprint and comes right from their own yards, schools, or container gardens.
If your child is a budding gardener between the ages of 9 and 16, he or she can apply for help from Katie's Kropps to start a garden and provide much-need fresh, local produce to a local food pantry or soup kitchen.
When he was 12, Alex Loorz started Kids v. Global Warming to do something to address our warming planet. Now, through iMatter, he and many others are doing what it takes to ensure that the voices of youth are heard and are a key part of addressing climate change. Last year, over 50,000 youth in 180 cities marched to bring attention to the climate crisis, and iMatter trained youth as speakers so that their voices will be heard. They've also taken the step of working with youth to file suit against the federal and state governments to ask that the atmosphere is viewed as a common resource and public trust, thus requiring that the government create plans and take more steps to address climate change.
Want to march this year? Set your calendar for April 20th, 2013. Or, take a moment to hear nine more stories of young people taking action by watching these videos.

As well-known for putting his foot in his mouth as he is for his guitar prowess, John Mayer says he understands the public perception.
"I was just a jerk," the musician, 35, tells Anthony Mason during an interview airing this weekend on CBS Sunday Morning at 9 a.m. EST.
"It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," he explains. "I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
Now dating Katy Perry and dipping a toe back into live performing (he plans to tour to promote his recent album Born and Raised over the summer), Mayer gave the interview ahead of a benefit concert he held in his adopted home state of Montana last month. It was the first time he had sung live in close to two years, thanks to a persistent throat granuloma that Mayer had surgery for twice.
"It's been a crazy couple years thinking that I got it and finding out I didn't. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, we looked at my throat and the thing is gone," he said from the stage prior to launching into "Speak for Me."
However, he admonished the crowd to "lower your expectations. [My voice] is not going to sound like it normally sounds. I'm going to sing some songs for you for the first time in awhile. I'm going to do my best ... I'm going to try."

on December 18, 2012 - 9:12 PM
, updated December 18, 2012 at 11:14 PM
A jury Tuesday awarded $11.1 million to a 59-year-old blind and developmentally disabled man who has lived for 26 years in a Niagara Falls group home run by the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Niagara County.
Robert Behringer – who is prone to seizures and unable to care for himself – has endured dozens of incidents at the group home since 2006 that stripped him of his dignity and jeopardized his safety, said his brother, Earl Behringer Jr., who brought the lawsuit as Robert's guardian.
Earl Behringer testified earlier in the 17-day trial that for years he wanted to move Robert Behringer out of the Lockport Road group home to his home in Venice, Fla.
However, the 71-year-old jeweler, formerly of Amherst, said he could not afford to provide the around-the-clock care and supervision his brother requires, and group homes in Florida have years-long waiting lists.
Now, with the jury verdict, assuming it holds up to appeal, Behringer will be able to move his brother out of the 10-person group home.
"I'm going to get him out of here and get him to Florida," Behringer said. "He deserves a better life. At least now I can provide him with one."
Jurors deliberated slightly longer than two hours, a surprisingly short time, given the length of the trial and the conflicting testimony.
"We are very grateful for the attention paid by the jurors and the verdict they rendered," said attorney Terrence M. Connors, who, with co-counsel Joseph D. Morath Jr., found former group home employees and persuaded them to testify against the association.
David C. Blaxill, a New York City lawyer who represented the association, declined to comment after the verdict.
During his closing argument, however, Blaxill defended the Niagara Cerebral Palsy employees assigned to Robert Behringer at the group home, referred to as the Niagara house.
"These people are heroes," Blaxill said.
For Robert Behringer, "it has been a good life," Blaxill told jurors. "He is surrounded by people who love him. He is happy."
Witnesses for the defense and plaintiff described a pleasant man who likes drinking coffee in the morning, listening to Frank Sinatra tunes and sitting in his brown leather chair. He tends to keep to himself, but he opens up to employees and fellow residents who initiate conversations.
Employees who were not accused of any wrongdoing expressed fondness for him when they testified.
Ernestine Gayle has taken care of him for nearly 12 years at the group home. She called him "my dude."
He kicks his legs out to the side when walking, so he needs two aides to assist him to walk. Because of his unsteadiness, he must wear a helmet when walking to keep from hurting himself.
It would be easier on the staff to keep him in a wheelchair, but "that wouldn't be good for Robert," Gayle said.
Earl Behringer acknowledged some employees truly cared for his brother's well-being. But during the trial before State Supreme Court Justice Deborah A. Chimes, Earl Behringer said his brother was mistreated by some employees and neglected by others at times.
The incidents and accidents started in late 2007: broken bones, teeth knocked out and an uptick in seizures, among other problems.
Earl Behringer said he received phone calls and letters from the nonprofit organization alerting him about what has happening.
"There were so many phone calls like this," he testified. "I wanted to get him out of there for his safety."
Among the incidents:
• Robert Behringer suffered a seizure after the staff failed to give him his evening dose of medication, according to the lawsuit.
• He suffered a seizure after he was dropped and struck his head on the ground, breaking and loosening teeth, when a single aide tried to lift him from his chair, according to court papers.
• While unattended and unrestrained, he tried to stand up from his wheelchair and fell.
• Earl Behringer said he found his brother sitting in his own feces or urine during visits.
"I couldn't believe the smell," he said.
He also said he witnessed two employees smoking marijuana on the job. One report he received from the agency indicated two staffers were fired after a supervisor discovered them sleeping during their overnight shift.
Much of the time the ranch-style home for the residents was understaffed, with just two to three employees to keep watch over 10 residents, he said. The ideal ratio was one employee for every two residents.
Robert Behringer has echolalia, which means he repeats the words spoken to him by others.
In videotaped trial testimony, Michelle Adams said she quit working at the group home after only a short time because of what she called "horrific conditions."
"One of Robert's conditions also was that he parrots everything that he hears around him," Adams testified. "So staff members thought it was funny to say things and have him repeat it back, whether it be foul language, whether it be a sexual connotation to one of the other staff members. Because he would repeat not only what you say, but also the name. He knew you, when you introduced yourself to him, by your voice and your name.
"I witnessed other employees saying things to Robert on purpose for him to repeat them, because they thought it was funny to hear him say foul language."
The jury awarded almost everything Connors asked for: $600,000 in past damages, $1 million for future damages and $6 million over 20 years for future medical costs. Jurors added $3.5 million in punitive damages.
"This case is about a person who can't speak for himself," Connors told jurors. "That's why this case is so important."

Boy, is it hot out! Ya know, that mercury is just through the roof! The temperature increased over that of previous days! The barometric pressure of the atmosphere is downright ...
Yes. It's hot. I get it. Now be quiet about it.
It's that magical time of year when our Midwestern dreams come true.
Finally, down jackets can be flung into the closet. Randy from "A Christmas Story"?can walk to school with his arms down. Ice scrapers can be snapped in half over your knee. Furnaces can be put out, and the crows that fell down the chimney can finally be given a proper burial. ?
Yes, summer is in sight. The rapture, the glory, the end of a long winter. Splendid days lie ahead full of fun, sun, picnics, nature, bike rides, baseball, fireworks and ice cream.
And now everyone just won't stop complaining.
On Facebook: "Ugh, it's sooooo hot."?At the store:?"Boy, it's cooking out in the parking lot!" People who walk in from outside go "Phew!" when they come through the door.
Don't you people realize that this is the answer to our prayers? For many months, we longed for days when we could go outside without dressing for an expedition to Mt. Everest.
Now, that time is at an end for a few fleeting months, and it seems many of you are having a real gratitude problem.
Remember those cold, frozen days where just walking from your car to the house was a test of sheer will? When the hem of every pair of pants was soaked in ice and road salt? When you looked out of the window at another gray, empty landscape and finally, your mind breaking, stumbled out into the snow like a man staggering toward an oasis, muttering "Sunshine ... sunshine!"
I waited so long for this moment. Waiting to feel the warmth of sun on my legs. To hear the laughter of children playing ball outside. To hear the chirp of birds, for the scent of flowers to fill the air. To swim, bike, barbecue.
As soon as Ohio spring (roughly two weeks)?passes, and hotter days emerge, everyone seems to forget the horrors of Ohio winter. Though most of it is best forgotten (save the occasional majestic white morning), you need to remember so that every second of summer can be appreciated. Even those that approach and / or surpass 90 degrees. Savor every bead of sweat, my fellow Ohioans.
Summer is good. Heat is good. Heat is freedom.
Maybe it was because I?never had central air. I don't know how anyone can stay cooped up on a beautiful sunny day.
I've also been to Texas in August, so I?know it could be much worse.
Take a swim in Lake Milton. Enjoy a Handel's cone. Visit the Devil's Ice Box at Nelson Ledges.
Just don't anger the gods of summer by complaining about the heat.
I?know that when it's cold, you can just keep adding layers, but when it's hot, naked is as far as you can get. But I'd rather be watching T.V. in undershorts with a Popsicle than huddling under four blankets wishing for magma to seep from the ground for a real-life game of "The Floor is Lava."
If you don't like to sweat, sit in a kiddie pool and wait for the tinkle of the ice cream truck, and thank the barometric gods that you are finally outside. And get one of those Pink Panther pops with the gumball eyes.
Have a safe, happy and sweaty summer.
Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen and tell me about it at ssepanek@ tribtoday.com, or comment on this story at www.tribtoday.com.

The 5 Weirdest Drug Experiments Performed on Animals
Those Sheep Will Steal Your Patio Furniture
Researchers needed to study the effects of Tasers on targets under the influence of methamphetamines, and nobody's going to mock that. Meth addicts are the demographic most often Tased--monthly, weekly, daily, or in some cases every single time they visit the laundromat to yell slang terms for genitalia at that pretty Asian girl that works there. But how on Earth would you get volunteers for a study like that? Most people won't even touch meth for fear they'll wake up somewhere in Iowa, let alone get Tased while on it. But you know who's got two thumbs, doesn't mind getting Tased and fucking loves the shit out of meth? Meth addicts! Well, except for Jimmy Handclaws--the thumbless guy who sleeps under the overpass--but hey, the Tasing and meth parts still hold true.
"Lost 'em fightin' a pack of dogs, but sure, I'll sign up!"
But rather than hopping on the clean and bright highways of reason and logic, the scientists opted instead for the disused, dusty trail of hilarious insanity: They gathered up 16 sheep, gave the animals a speedball of powerful sedatives and methamphetamines (an extremely dangerous combination under any circumstances) and then proceeded to Tase the ever-loving shit out of them on top of it.
This is science, ladies and gentlemen: comatose sheep, on meth, being Tased by stoic looking men in white lab coats.
"It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to get these monkeys drunk and shoot paintball guns at them."
Can you guess what happened next?
Nope! None of them died, not one! Despite being given the exact recipe for a confusing, nonsensical death, every single one of the sheep lived, displaying no signs of the abnormal, potentially fatal heart rhythm that human targets under similar conditions often succumb to.
Final Outcome: Somewhere out there, there exists a small gang of speed-freak sheep struggling with a dueling sedative addiction. They may or may not be immune to electricity.
Those Bees Will Not Shut Up About Finding Authentic Mexican Food
Scientists from the Macquarie University in Australia and the University of Illinois completely ran out of shit to do in 2008, so they decided to test a hypothesis. And I would like to be absolutely clear here: The following is not a joke. This is the actual wording as it appeared in the scientific study: "[We believe that] cocaine can have as devastating an effect on honey bee society as it does on human society".
That's what they pitched to their superiors. And not only were they not assigned a social worker on the spot, but they actually received the grants to go ahead with the project and obtain their results. It's official: "Scientist" is the hardest job to get fired from.
"Ha ha, seriously? They went for the bee thing? Holy shit! All right, let's science this bitch!"
Their experiment involved isolating a small segment of the bee population, and dosing them regularly with cocaine. Then they would release the addict bees with the rest of the hive to look for "sugar." At first read, that sounds like some scientist just has a coke addiction of his own, access to a lot of bees and an unwillingness to drive downtown, but the bees in question were searching for literal sugar, and not more of the nose kind.
"Yes. Yeeesss! My research is complete! Now, my bees, TO THE COCAINE!"
The report says that, despite their drugged state, the bees still remained completely accurate in reporting the sugar's location back to their hive. It's just that they exaggerated how much there was, how easy it was to get and how totally fucking awesome it was when they found it. No, seriously: They drastically over-estimated the potency of their find when relaying information to the hive. The scientists were right. After a few weeks of a regular coke habit, these bees behaved exactly like their human counterpart: That guy who comes sprinting up to you in the hallway during parties, telling you about "these insanely hot bitches all over my jock, man! You have to come see 'em. Gotta be my wingman, bro! Ha ha! Ride my tail anytime, Maverick! Come on!" And then, when you arrive at your destination, you find only two confused Puerto Rican men who believe they've been contracted for some kind of late-night gardening job because they only recognized the word "hos."
Lasting Effects: Somewhere there is a swarm of bees that is really fun for about an hour and a half, and then incredibly annoying for the next seven.
These Spiders' Families Hardly Recognize Them
A career in NASA is just the best: Even if you don't make the A-team where you get to do infinite backflips in the zero gravity of space, you still get to be a researcher on the ground, gettin' bills for carrying out whatever crazy bullshit you whipped up last minute on grant day. And so at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, they decided to drug the holy shit out of a bunch of spiders, on the grounds of "testing which species respond most accurately to the toxicity of chemicals." No specific goal, really, just: "What do spiders do while high?" And here we go:
Spiders on marijuana weaved about half their webs before abandoning their project. Presumably because a rerun of MacGyver came on.
Spiders on Benzedrine, an upper, spun their webs faster but left great, gaping holes due to lack of planning. Just like meth-heads, who are surprisingly effective at ripping all the plastic plumbing out of an abandoned home, only to remember down at the scrap-yard that it's copper wiring they'll pay you for.
On caffeine, they throw a few strands together at random before growing impatient and abandoning the project. Presumably while hurling a stapler across the room and swearing at the receptionist on the way out.
This is what happens to spiders on LSD: "The lines... they go on forever! Can you see them, Earl? Can you see them?! TELL ME YOU CAN FUCKING SEE THE LINES, EARL!"
Lesson Learned: That spider may not be attacking, it may just be having a bad trip, hallucinating tiny humans scrabbling around beneath its exoskeleton.

Bee stings can produce different reactions, ranging from temporary pain and discomfort to a severe allergic reaction. Having one type of reaction doesn't mean you'll always have the same reaction every time you're stung.
Most of the time, bee sting symptoms are minor and include:
In most people, swelling and pain go away within a few hours.
Some people who get stung by a bee or other insect have a bit stronger reaction, with signs and symptoms such as:
Moderate reactions tend to resolve over five to 10 days. Having a moderate reaction doesn't mean you'll have a severe allergic reaction the next time you're stung. But some people develop similar moderate reactions each time they're stung. If this happens to you, talk to your doctor about treatment and prevention, especially if the reaction becomes more severe each time.
A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to bee stings is potentially life-threatening and requires emergency treatment. A small percentage of people who are stung by a bee or other insect quickly develop anaphylaxis. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
People who have a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting have a 30 to 60 percent chance of anaphylaxis the next time they're stung. Talk to your doctor or an allergy specialist about prevention measures such as immunotherapy to avoid a similar reaction in case you get stung again.
Generally, insects such as bees and wasps aren't aggressive and only sting in self-defense. In most cases, this results in one or perhaps a few stings. However, in some cases a person will disrupt a hive or swarm of bees and get multiple stings. Some types of bees — such as Africanized honeybees — are more likely than are other bees to swarm, stinging in a group.
If you get stung more than a dozen times, the accumulation of venom may induce a toxic reaction and make you feel quite sick. Signs and symptoms include:
Multiple stings can be a medical emergency in children, older adults, and people who have heart or breathing problems.
In most cases, bee stings don't require a visit to your doctor. In more-severe cases, you'll need immediate care.

The Real Estate Studio is pleased to host a show by four Charleston artists with their interpretation of "Dawn and Dusk", with an artists reception on Friday, May 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. The artists will also be street side in front of the Real Estate Studio on June 9 during Second Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The show will remain at the Studio from May 24 – July 1.
What does a mud bath in Calistoga, Calif., have to do with an art show? As four Charleston artists relaxed in the famous Calistoga Spa, they thought about doing a show together that would capture the beautiful dusks and dawns they had experienced during their art journeys together. Mary, Brenda, Patricia and Marty have developed an "artist circle" similar to historical artist groups who traveled together to paint and support each other. Artistic and creative strength created by the generation of ideas and positive critiquing, encouragement and, of course, just plain fun in painting together, have forged the basis of this show's work.
Each artist brings her own uniqueness: Marty's risk-taking, Patricia's cohesiveness, Brenda's inquisitiveness and Mary's effervescence. These distinctive qualities are reflected in each artist's interpretation of the special light of evening and morning at favorite places the four of them have visited together. From viewing elk at dusk in a back mountain meadow in North Carolina to a sunset-reflecting, gurgling brook in Taos, New Mexico, these four friends have painted plein air in morning light under trees with babbling magpies, to late afternoon light in a field of lavender, to golden evening light in the vineyards of Napa Valley. Using a variety of oil painting techniques, including palette knife and glazing, the show gives the viewer many interpretations of the radiance of light and color at these special times of day.
Each artist also brings with her the history of her artistic journey. Jousting with windmills is mild compared to the multi-media madness that Marty Biernbaum explores through her art. Painting, sculpture, and pottery have been her professional occupation as well as her passion for the past thirty-three years. In her oil paintings, Biernbaum uses bright and bold palette knife strokes to express her surreal view of the world.
Patricia Huff has studied and painted for more than 30 years. She has studied with such well-known artists as Delores Kennedy, Ouida Canaday, Albert Handel, Doug Dawson, Judith Carducci and Susan Sarback, to name a few. She has also studied at the Atlanta College of Art. Huff has honed her yin and yang impressionistic interpretation of serene to vivacious landscapes using many different oil painting techniques, including palette knife and glazing. Her pastel and oil works have won awards in local and Atlanta shows.
Brenda Orcutt draws collectors to her modern art with the fresh and exciting feel of thickly-applied paint and the pureness of color in her textural oil paintings. Her boldly-rendered palette knife work is the result of focus and diligence that are obvious in her paintings, yet her paint strokes and use of color show movement and spontaneity. This award-winning artist's aim is to not only produce a scene with precision, but to develop new visions of time-honored subjects with her energetic approach with paint and knife.
Mary Sayas has been painting for about 20 years, studying with many local and nationally known artists. Most recently, Sayas has studied with impressionistic colorist artists Susan Sarback and Camille Prezwodek, who both studied with
the renowned American Impressionist, Henry Hensche. She has found her passion by painting with their unique methods, both very different which produce paintings with luminous, glowing color. She has a passion for travel and has set up her easel in Mexico and the south of France, as well as in many different locations in the U.S.
All four of these artists are members of Oil Painters of America and exhibit at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery. The soup of this show is flavored with the history of these four artists' backgrounds and their special blend of friendship. Come see and enjoy the tapestry of "Dawn and Dusk, a Group Interpretation."
The show will be on exhibit at The Real Estate Studio May 24 – July 1 with an artists reception set for Friday May 24 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Wine and light hors d'oeuvres will be served. All are welcome. For more information, contact The Real Estate Studio 722-5618.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The fourth seeded Stetson women's tennis team (11-10) was eliminated from the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships in the Semifinals, as top seeded ETSU (14-5) won the first four points to advance to the title match on Saturday.
"Our ladies played a great match today," Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "It was reminiscent of last year's semifinal vs. then #1 seed UNF. The team surely gave them everything that we had, and I am proud of each member of this squad. Three third set matches and one that was just about to go to the deciding set tells the story of how close the match was."
Stetson's highlight of the day came early, as senior Jen Miller and junior Diana Bukajeva defeated the nationally ranked pair of Lyn Yee Choo and Anna Gerbasi by a score of 8-3 at the number one doubles position.
"What a great win for Diana and Jen against the 63rd best team in the nation, and they achieved it with relative ease," Pilote said. "I am sad that I will not be coaching both Sara [Lazarevic] and Jen next year. They both had an outstanding senior season and overall career."
Unfortunately for the Hatters, ETSU won 8-5 at both number two and number three doubles to clinch the first point of the match.
Choo got the Bucs off to a good start in singles play, defeating senior Sara Lazarevic 6-3, 6-3 at the number two position to make it 2-0 in favor of ETSU. After junior Lindsey Cable fell to Anna Gerbasi 6-4, 6-1, the Buccaneers needed just one point to secure the victory.
Freshman Andrea Crespo came back from a first set defeat to win set two 6-2 and tie up her match with ETSU's number one, Antonia Kolovou. Crespo eventually dropped the third set 7-5, which gave the Bucs the 4-0 victory, and eliminated the Hatters from the tournament.
Bukajeva, Miller, and freshman Eveline Lepinay were all in the middle of their matches before the contest was called in favor of the Bucs. Miller and Lepinay split their first two sets, while Bukajeva was still in her second set of play.
Stetson falls to 11-10 on the season with the loss. ETSU advances to take on the winner of North Florida and USC Upstate in the A-Sun Championship on Sunday.

NO T in theory also in the real hockey world, if an owner can't or wont offer such a contract too bad but it is on his own terms. I am freaking sick and tired of hearing Mr. ANTI hockey and his hardline ******* trying to support franchises that shouldn't even have an NHL team, while teams who are providing more revenue are left out (I.E QUEBEC, Hamilton).
I now want the players to go nuclear and into decertification, they know some franchises won't survive an open market too bad the stubborn hardliners couldn't see that.
The PA provided a fair proposal the NHL didn't even bother reading it so to hell with this league.
I'm sick and tired of this false argument. The players favor supporting struggling teams too. Your assertion that revenue sharing is only favored by the league and Bettman is demonstrably false. Here's a quote from the NHLPA's website. I've gone ahead and bolded the parts that prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that what you said is either intentionally misleading or unintentionally misguided. Either way, you're dead f'ing wrong.
"Meaningful revenue sharing is an essential component of any successful league. It is not a distraction; it is the heart of the issue.
After seven straight seasons of record revenue, it's clear that if the NHL has a problem, it is not a revenue issue, but rather a revenue disparity issue. The owners' revenue sharing proposal does increase to revenue sharing somewhat, but every dollar of revenue sharing is paid for by player salary reductions; the higher income clubs contribute nothing on their own.
The Players' propose that they partner with the high-income teams to provide targeted funding for the distressed teams and owners. But the players won't and shouldn't have to do this alone. The higher income teams need to share far more with the lower revenue teams. The Players will do their part; will the owners?"

In "The Message" version of the Bible, Proverbs 18:24 says, "Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family."
This verse could not be more applicable than to my March hero mom of the month, my friend, Tiffany.
Tiffany and I met at work almost 12 years ago now and our friendship has become one of the reliable foundational relationships in my life. You don't often find a true friend at work – usually work friends are work friends, if you know what I mean. But for whatever reason, we "clicked" and our friendship has outlasted career changes and time.
When we first became friends, we were each going through our own divorces. Though we were both struggling with similar marital strife (and the roller coaster of emotions that go with divorce), she had two little girls that she had to consider, while I was childless.
It was during this time that she had to transition her girls that she became one of my mothering heroes.
I determined early on to observe and learn from my friends what kind of mom I wanted (or did not want) to be if I ever got a turn. Tiffany amazed me at her strength, courage and wisdom as she became a single mom.
It was through this time period that single parents as a group became some of my biggest heroes. Tiffany was fortunate enough to have a good strong family support system around her that helped as much as they could, but the ultimate responsibility always fell square on her shoulders.
Finances. Homework. Breakfast, lunch AND dinner! Cleaning. Bathtime. Bedtime. Her own work. Discipline. School. Church.
Two little girls who needed as much emotional support as possible to transition through the divorce.
Her own emotional healing.
It was not an easy time for her. Often, I'm sure she fell into bed exhausted and probably shed a few tears. Then she would pray, sleep as much as she could, and get up and do it all over again. I am sure that all single parents can relate to this cycle.
It was ultimately her faith that helped her get through and helped her to meet the man who is now her husband and very much another father to her girls. As a family, they adopted a third little girl and the five of them are now running a baby house in Guatemala. They will return to life in the States later this spring.
I've so missed my friend while they've been gone. We have worked together, played together, cried together, rebelled together, gotten our acts together… together. Stood up in each other's weddings. Celebrated and mourned. She was at the hospital when both my older kids were born but won't be home in time to be there when the new baby comes in a couple of weeks. But I know she's praying for me and I am excited to introduce her to our new baby when they do get home. I can't wait for her older girls to spend time with my younger kids and really get to know each other.
Our husbands even like each other, and you know how tricky husbands can be.
So to all the single moms and dads out there – I salute you. Carry on in faith that you are doing the best for your children and self and know that you have the utmost respect from those of us around you. Stay strong. Let the dishes wait. Ask for help if you need it! Tell the rest of us how we can help. Thank you for what you're doing to create a better life for your kids.
Hang in there.
And Tiff, I can't wait for you to get home. You've still got a LOT to teach me about this mothering thing.

Contemporary embedded systems are often designed as Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoC) which include multiple processors and other peripherals on a single chip. In contrast to general purpose multiprocessors, the design of an embedded MPSoC is usually customized to the requirements of the application domain. The need for fast time to market of new embedded MPSoC designs calls for a rapid design flow of the included customized processors. This paper proposes a Multicore Application-Specific Instruction Set Processor (MCASIP) co-design flow that exploits parallel programming languages as the application description format. The designer can capture the parallelism of the algorithm and exploit specialized instructions using a single high-level programming language. Parallelism of the designed MCASIP architectures can be scaled both at instruction and task levels, enabling easy exploration of the MCASIP design space. This paper describes the design flow and its key technical challenges, and demonstrates its scalability potential. The presented preliminary results show promise for an efficient multiprocessor design methodology.

Information: r2oc.org
ROCKFORD — Last year, it was throwing Frisbees. This year, it's a game that's part volleyball and part basketball. And it's all done with robots.
The region's five FIRST Robotics Competition teams are used to taking their show on the road, facing off against teams from across the nation in places like Milwaukee and Chicago. This weekend, they're bringing the action, and 27 other teams from five states, to Rockford for the second annual Rock River Off-Season Competition.
The competition runs all day Saturday at Rock Valley College. And members of the public are not only invited to come, they're encouraged to bring young people who may want to join in the fun. Teams are made up of ninth through 12th grades from public, private and home schools.
It's a great time and quite a sight, too, said Rockford Robotics team mentor Chris Magee. Six hundred participants are expected.
"Some kids are in costumes. There's loud music. Everyone's having a good time," Magee said. "That was one of the challenges to us this year, to 'make it loud.' Spread the word about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. Make it exciting. Make it so parents and kids know what it is and have no trouble finding a robotics team to join. We want to make it as easy as finding a soccer team or Little League."
The competition is hosted by the region's FIRST Robotics teams — Freeport MetalHeads, Rockford Robotics, Flaming Monkeys (Belvidere), Stateline Robotics (Hononegah) and Winnovation (Winnebago) — and sponsored by Woodward and UTAS. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. It was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway.
Every year in early January, teams gather for watch parties to find out what that year's competition will be and start coming up with ideas for a robot. The team then designs and builds a single robot that it takes to competitions. Robots must be programmed and operate by remote control.
This year's game is called Aerial Assist. It's played with two teams of three robots each. Teams need to use their robots to get a rubber exercise ball from one end of a flat court to the other and into a goal. They get more points for passing the ball from robot to robot, and some goals are worth more points than others. Matches last 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
Page 2 of 2 - Team Winnovation is coming off a big win at another off-season competition, last weekend's Indiana Robotics Invitational, where 68 teams competed.
The team is celebrating its 10th year in competition, too.
"As much as it's about engineering, it's about team building," said Winnovation coordinator Karen Hill. "It's a great experience for students who may want to test the waters and see what kind of engineering they're most interested in."
Students that participate in FIRST Robotics Competitions earn millions of dollars a year in college scholarships.
"Colleges want these kids," Hill said. "They go to college prepared. They've already studied drafting and 3-D software. They know programming. It's a big leg up."

An extremely vile and artificial substance that trashy slobs blindly ingest despite a lack of knowledge as to what gum contains. But perhaps the worst thing about gum is that the most religious gum chewers are the least able to chew like people. Instead, they must force decent people to listen to the moist sound caused by disgusting amounts of saliva that gum generates. These sounds are similar to that of a cow chewing it's cud, but this analogy may be imperfect because no sound will ever be as vile as the sound made when people chew gum.
What is in gum anyway?
Gum is the most disgusting substance known to man.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - With roughly 16 minutes left in Tuesday night's District 6 Class AAA boys soccer semifinal at Tiger Stadium, Altoona had a prime opportunity to draw even with long time rival Hollidaysburg on a corner kick.
Instead, the Golden Tigers cleared, and Chris Miller sprinted nearly half the length of the field with the ball and fired a laser from 30 yards out into the upper right corner of the net.
It was the exclamation point on Hollidaysburg's season series with the Mountain Lions as the second-seeded Tigers escaped with a 3-1 victory.
"That goal was just an absolute bullet," Hollidaysburg coach Craig Shale said of Miller's blast. "That was just a screamer. It was a beauty. No one was going to stop that. That was the icing on the cake right there."
"That might have been the best shot of my life," Miller said as he explained the play. "I just went at [the defender] with a lot of speed, took it by him and just took a shot."
Miller's insurance tally assured the Tigers (13-3-1) that they would be playing in their fourth straight district title game.
"That's quite an accomplishment," Shale said. "For the seniors to play in the championship each year definitely is a great achievement."
Hollidaysburg will travel to Bald Eagle Area to tangle with top-seeded State College - 4-0 winners over Central Mountain on Tuesday - on Oct. 31.
To say that Miller and his teammates are looking forward to the contest would be an understatement.
"To win the district championship again would be amazing," Miller said. "We won it when I was a sophomore. To win it again as a senior would be awesome."
"We've got the talent," Shale said of Hollidaysburg's chances. "State College is always the team to beat. When you're in a final, anything can happen."
As has been the case all season against Altoona, Hollidaysburg was in control and never really let up.
But after Kristian Mirenda tied the game at 1 - the Lions' only goal against the Tigers in three games - Altoona found a new gear.
The third-seeded Mountain Lions (6-9-4) just could never catch a break, though.
"This was the best game we played out of the three," Altoona coach Dave Alexander said. "We were right there. We just made three mistakes and they capitalized. That's how good teams win - they capitalize on your mistakes.
"We had our chances. They made mistakes. We just didn't capitalize on them."
It was the only point Hollidaysburg looked tentative against the team they dominated all year.
The Tigers won, 4-0, on Sept. 17 at Mansion Park and 2-0 last week on senior night.
"Altoona always plays with a lot of energy," Shale said. "The longer they stay in [the game], the more dangerous they can be. They played well. That's probably the best I've seen Altoona play all year.
"I think there may have been a little worry when it was 1-1. We were supposed to win this game, we've got higher goals of winning District 6. I think in the back of your mind, you think, 'Wow, it's just 1-1. They get one more, sneak a goal, we're in trouble.'"
But that never happened.
Miller broke the tie 13 minutes into the second half on a hustle play on a feed from David Katz. He beat an Altoona defender to the ball and poked it in the net.
"David Katz had the through ball and that's just Chris' game - he's just pure hustle," Shale said. "He just wanted it more. That second goal just gave us that confidence. We needed it."
Tyler Miller scored Hollidaysburg's first goal 21 minutes into the game. Zach Franks assisted.
Down the stretch, the Tigers fired at will on Altoona goalkeeper Joe Smith when Alexander opened up the field trying to chip into the deficit.
Smith made three brilliant saves, including one on a full-extension dive.
"We switched our formation to get another guy up top, so that left the middle more open," Alexander said. "We tried to get another goal to get back in it, but that's what happens when you don't have a guy in the middle.
"I thought we played really, really well. I was proud of the effort that we gave. We're young, so we've got a lot of guys coming back."

Now suppose that around 1900 Thomas Webb's management was shown the interesting graduated colour change that could be achieved by blowing cased glass of two colours into a tubular mould. And that it could be done again, producing any combination of graduated colour changes.
Phew, that's all!

LOCKPORT – Jeffrey M. Tretter, 20, of Eddy Drive, North Tonawanda, pleaded guilty Friday in Niagara County Court to fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He had about one-quarter ounce of cocaine May 15 as he sat in a car outside an apartment on Pine Street in Lockport, which police were raiding.
County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III assigned Tretter to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment. Tretter faces a maximum of 5½ years in prison if he fails at the program, but if he succeeds, he will be placed on probation after his charge is reduced to a misdemeanor.

In the early '90s, Lowcountry Autism Consortium Executive Director Rob Scharstein found himself navigating rough waters as he ventured to learn all that he could of the disorder that afflicted both of his sons.
Back then, resources weren't as readily available for parents who found themselves in need of answers and support, he said.
"We constantly had to fly people in or go other places to get the care our kids needed. That was really, really difficult," Scharstein said.
Time has been kind in the effort to raise autism awareness. But there is still more ground to be covered, Scharstein said.
In its second annual Lowcountry Autism Forum, LAC brought state, regional and national experts to Charleston on Saturday to help parents and professionals harness resources while addressing such topics as early diagnosis and treatment, the development of social skills, occupational training and long-term care planning.
LAC collaborated with MUSC's Project Rex and Trident Academy to sponsor the forum.
Both Project Rex and Trident Academy provide treatment and other services for children on the autism spectrum.
The event featured keynote speakers Peter Gerhardt, education director for the New York's McCarton School for children with autism, Lorri Unumb, vice president for state and governmental affairs for Autism Speaks in Columbia, and Frampton Gwynette, a pediatric psychiatrist with Medical University Hospital.
"I look forward to a time when autism is just another word," Gerhardt said in a speech. "It's just autism — that's all. They're people."
Scharstein said almost 600 people registered for the forum, which took place at the College of Charleston's Sottile Theatre on George Street. The event was free and open to the public.
"My passion, and the reason this was free, is I don't ever want money to be a stumbling block for people trying to get good information," Scharstein said. "If somebody comes in here and they don't have a pot to pee in, how do we get them services? How do they get their child diagnosed? How do they get evaluations done? How can we help them get free services at school?"
Specialists at Medical University Hospital are developing a center that would conduct further autism research and provide necessary resources under a central mission.
Project Rex founder Gwynette said the center is referred to as the MUSC Center for the Achievement of Human Potential.
"One of the things parents tell us is that their child sees a speech therapist here, goes to school there, visits a doctor here — the illness is so complex that it requires a lot of specialists. Every time you add another specialist, there's fragmentation. ... If you're seeing patients together in the same spot, research builds off of that and education follows suit," Gwynette said.

asthma trigger is a factor that can lead to sudden
difficulty breathing or other symptoms of asthma (asthma attack).
Some triggers are substances a person may be allergic to (allergens). Allergens cause the body's natural
defenses (immune system) to produce chemicals called
immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These chemicals bind to allergens, causing
inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air
to the lungs. The allergen may also cause asthma attacks. These triggers
Other triggers can cause asthma symptoms without affecting
the body's immune system. These include:

Using this function to 'replace' an Active Directory password requires the "Reset Password" security permission as opposed to the "Change Password" permission (which is assigned by default to SELF)
ldap_mod_replace — Replace attribute values with new ones
, string
, array
Replaces one or more attributes from the specified
It performs the modification at the attribute level as opposed to the object
level. Object-level modifications are done by the
ldap_modify() function.
An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().
The distinguished name of an LDAP entity.
TRUE on success or
FALSE on failure.
Note: This function is binary-safe.
Using this function to 'replace' an Active Directory password requires the "Reset Password" security permission as opposed to the "Change Password" permission (which is assigned by default to SELF)
If you do not wish to set up SSL on your active directory, and you are running on Windows, you can use COM and ADSI to set the new password for a user, or to active a user:
// to set a user password
// server is the ldap server
// newuser_dn is the full dn of the user you want to modify
// newuser_password is the password you wish to set for the user
$ADSI = new COM("LDAP:");
$user = $ADSI->OpenDSObject("LDAP://".$server."/".$newuser_dn, $adminuser, $adminpassword, 1);
// to activate a user
$ADSI = new COM("LDAP:");
$user = $ADSI->OpenDSObject("LDAP://".$server."/".$newuser_dn, $adminuser, $adminpassword, 1);
$user->AccountDisabled = false;
Here's an easy way to encode AD "unicodepwd" values from linux...
Download and install recode...
Then write something like this...
function ADUnicodePwdValue($plain_txt_value)
return str_replace("\n", "", shell_exec("echo -n '\"" . $plain_txt_value . "\"' | recode latin1..utf-16le/base64"));
$user["unicodepwd"] = ADUnicodePwdValue("my_password");
[EDITOR thiago NOTE: The following text was sent by boyvanderlaak at gmail dot com as an important complement]
if you do not have access to your linux box but have Multibyte String enabled you could try the following for AD 2008:
$info["unicodePwd"] = mb_convert_encoding('"' . $newPassword . '"', 'utf-16le');
You can use arrays for multiple attributes example:
$entry[mail] = array("email@example.com","firstname.lastname@example.com");
$results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID,$dn, $entry);
or as i did for creating anew user:
$adduserAD["objectClass"] = array("top","person","organizationalPerson","user");
Here is some great information from the OpenLDAP FAQs regarding changing a userPassword attribute with PHP:
$userpassword = "{SHA}" . base64_encode( pack( "H*", sha1( $pass ) ) );
this can not be used to change a password on an AD server that requires you to send the old and new password.
in order to do this use on shuts an sever make an admin-account that allows to change other ppl pw without suppling the old password first.
Sometime,we cannot replace ldap_mod_replace function with ldap_mod_del function and ldap_mod_add fuction .We don't have permission to delete an attribute but we can replace it.
in openldap 2.0.x you can use method with mod_del/mod_add only if the attribute have defined EQUALITY rule.
To modify an attribute with a single value:
$entry[mail] = "email@example.com";
$results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID,$dn, $entry);
To modify an attribute with multiple values:
$entry[mail][] = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$entry[mail][] = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID,$dn, $entry);
To modify multiple attributes
$entry[mail][] = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$entry[mail][] = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$entry[c] = "US";
$results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID,$dn, $entry);
ldap_mod_replace() and ldap_modify() are _exactly_ the same. So, the comment that ldap_mod_replace() "performs the modification at the attribute level as opposed to the object level", has no root in reality.
if i want to replace the special attribute but i don't replace other attribute ,i just use "ldap_mod_del" and "ldap_mod_add" ,the function seems to that
Before you modify values in your ldap directory, first make sure that you have permission to do so. In openldap adding the following acl in slap.conf will allow the user to modify their own userpassword.
access to attr=userPassword
by self write
by anonymous auth
by * none
Changing a user password in Active Directory.
Securely connect (using ldaps) to the Active Directory and bind using an administrator account.
In this example, $userDn contains the dn of the user I want to modify, and $ad is the Active Directory ldaps connection)
$newPassword = "MyPassword";
$newPassword = "\"" . $newPassword . "\"";
$len = strlen($newPassword);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++)
$newPassw .= "{$newPassword{$i}}\000";
$newPassword = $newPassw;
$userdata["unicodepwd"] = $newPassword;
$result = ldap_mod_replace($ad, $userDn, $userdata);
if ($result) echo "User modified!" ;
else echo "There was a problem!";
I found it hard to get a proper encoding for the unicodepwd attribute so this piece of code might help you ;-)

The Hollidaysburg Area School District has taken a time out in its search for its next varsity football coach.
"We plan to hire a coach at the April board meeting, which is April 17," Hollidaysburg superintendent Paul Gallagher said on Thursday.
The original plan had been to have John Barton's successor on board by Tuesday night. However, the search committee decided to give themselves a few more weeks and possibly a few more options.
"The deadline for teachers to announce their plans to retire is April 1," athletic director Bob Gildea said. "So we decided to hold off on the second round of interviews for a bit."
While Gallagher said the district already had some teaching openings that might allow it to bring in a new coach from outside, after April 1 there might even be more flexibility.
And it seems to chance to take over the reins from Barton, who won almost 100 games after taking over the Golden Tigers in 1999, has proven attractive. Gildea said the school received 22 applicants, and there had been word of interest from several states.
Hollidaysburg interviewed 10 candidates in the last month. Gallagher said he anticipates "three or four" to be brought back for second interviews.
"I'd like to see someone of the same character as Mr. Barton," Gallagher said. "I want a coach that can relate to the kids but who understands that education is the most important thing - a good teacher of young men who will develop good traits in the fellows and teach them the right way in football and outside of football."
Among those who might still be part of the mix are Corry coach Homer DeLattre and Golden Tiger assistant R.J. Albarano. A former star player at Moshannon Valley and an assistant coach at Glendale, DeLattre and his wife both come from the area and are interested in returning because most of their family is here. Corry has had five straight winning seasons under DeLattre, who was rewarded by being named to the coaching staff at the PSFCA East West All-Star Game in 2012.
Albarano could not be reached to confirm his interest. He is a former standout lineman with the Tigers who has been on Barton's staff the last few years.
In addition to teaching openings, there also is the possibility that administrative openings might exist for the new coach. Gallagher is retiring at the end of the school year, and Gildea currently is splitting time between the AD's job and principal at the district's cyber academy.
Gildea was asked if the coach might also take over for him as athletic director.
"No decision has been made," Gildea said.

American Airlines unions protest at D/FW Airport
At least 300 American Airlines workers showed up by noon today at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's Terminal D to protest the carrier's proposals to cut 13,000 jobs and change any aspects of their contracts.
The employees chanted "hey, hey, ho, ho, corporate greed has got to go" as they picketed and carried signs saying "American Pay Our Pensions" and "Our struggle is America's struggle." Cars driving by the terminals departure area honked in support.
At heart, employees are protesting job cuts and contract changes proposed by American Airlines as part of parent AMR Corp's bankruptcy reorganization plan. AMR filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November. On Feb. 1, AMR and American Airlines executives laid out a broad list of proposed contractual changes, including 13,000 job cuts.
There's no love lost between American Airlines and its unions over the company's reorganization plans.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants organized today's grassroots, Valentine's Day protest. Its members were joined by American Airlines' workers who belong to the Association of Flight Attendants, the Community Workers of America and the Transport Workers Union of America.
In addition to many local employees, flight attendants flew in from bases around the country including New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles, and TWU workers bussed down from Tulsa, Okla., to show their support.
"We're gathering all American Airlines employees, whether they belong to a union or not, to stand together to let the company know we're not going to take this sitting down," said Lori Bassani, a New York-based flight attendant for American and a spokeswoman for APFA at the protest. "We have support from other unions and the community. There's a bigger picture here. This is not just a struggle for American Airlines, but for America. The shrinking middle class is quickly changing into the working poor."
Several picketing employees said their main concerns were the outsourcing of jobs and that the brunt of job cuts were falling on labor, not management. Executive bonuses also were a point of contention.
"How many executives will be cut?" asked Tracie Benson, a dispatcher for American Airlines for 25 years who was wearing purple gloves to fend off the cold. "Look at how top heaving American Airlines is, but when they take the cuts it's on the backs of the employees."

After suffering a concussion and battling chickenpox, Barbara Walters hopes to return to The View in three weeks.
Photos: Out and proud celebrities
Walters, 83, phoned into the ABC daytime show from her home Wednesday to discuss her return. She said that she isn't in pain, but is feeling weak. She also said she isn't "scratching too much" thanks to lots of calamine lotion. "I'm not itching away," she added.
Walters was hospitalized on Jan. 19 after fainting and cutting her head while visiting the British Ambassador's residence in Washington D.C. days before she was set to help cover President Obama's Inauguration. Walters said she discovered she was already suffering from chickenpox and a fever when she went to the hospital. She suffered a concussion and received six stiches before being released 10 days later.

Here's a shout-out to one of the coolest weekly jams in all of Buffalo.
Since firmly ensconcing itself at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar (253 Allen St.), several months back, the weekly Neo-Soul Tuesdays shows have flourished into a must-see cure to your early week blues. Hosted by Verse – a soul-funk uber-collective featuring guitarist Michael DiSanto, bassist Zuri Appleby, drummer DeShawn Jackson and bassist Rufus "Breezey" Cole – the weekly get-together finds the band being joined by a variety of guest vocalists and the occasional instrumental "sit-in," for an evening of music aimed at both the heart and the hips.
The shows start and end rather punctually – the first downbeat is at 8 p.m., the final "Thank you, good night!" at 11 p.m. – so there's nothing in the way of patience for your "But it's a work night!" protestations. Admit it – you'd stay up that late watching TV anyway, and I'm comfortable proclaiming that there's nothing on your tube that boasts a fraction of the soul displayed and celebrated by Verse and friends.
This Tuesday, vocalist Nikki Hicks will join DiSanto and Co. The rest of January finds Drea d'Nur in the house Jan. 15, Chauncey Northington Jan. 22 and Steve Jlin on Jan. 29.
Admission is $5 at the door; the kitchen is open and a full menu is on offer, too.
Magnum's force
Neutral Milk Hotel released "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea" in 1998. It's now held to be a classic of 1990s indie rock, and a collection emblematic of the Elephant 6 Collective sound – a reference to the independent Athens, Ga., record label that also provided a home for the likes of Olivia Tremor Control and Apples In Stereo.
The album's reputation grew to near mythic proportions despite its rather humble commercial success, particularly after the band's dissolution, in 1999. Singer/guitarist Jeff Magnum disappeared from the music scene following the splintering of Neutral Milk Hotel, becoming in the process what Slate.com called "the (J.D.) Salinger of indie rock."
Happily, roughly four years back, Magnum began to emerge from his cocoon, playing the odd benefit show or low-profile gig. And then, just as suddenly as he had written off the music business, Magnum jumped right back into the fray with a box set of new recordings, and even an appearance on television's "Parks and Recreation."
Magnum, joined by guests Tall Firs and Briars of North America, will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Babeville (341 Delaware Ave.). Indie rock lovers, rejoice. Tickets are $35 (box office, Tickets.com).

Testino recently revealed the full story behind the famous portrait, in which William and Kate display genuine smiles and an affectionate embrace (not to mention, show off the ring!).
"I waited a long time, an hour or two, to make that picture perfect," says Testino in an interview with the U.K. edition of Vogue. "But I wasn't totally satisfied. Then, when I'd finished the shoot, they were about to leave and they suddenly hugged in front of a radiator. I took my camera and that was the picture that ran everywhere – it was spontaneous emotion … you could see they were completely in love."
Not that there was ever any question. The famed fashion photographer says he could tell the couple were headed for the altar when he first met Kate in 2008: [William was] in love ... I knew they would stay together."
