Michael Hanna: Detroit, Michigan, November 9, 2012
Baker's Keyboard Lounge
Detroit, Michigan
November 9, 2012
In jazz circles, as within most artistic idioms, talent can be generational. The most apparent example of this is the Marsalis clan. Other notable father-son duos include John and Ravi Coltrane, Chico and Arturo O'Farrill, as well as Dewey and Joshua Redman. The latest to delve into the family business is singer Michael Hanna, who is the son of pianist Sir Roland Hanna. Instead of taking up piano, he steered toward the vocal arts, and it was not his first choice of careers. Hanna, who has loved cars since he was a kid, became an automotive engineer and raised a family in Detroit. However, the call of the stage beckoned, and he developed his talent, paying dues, and singing whenever and wherever he could.
The singer brought his act to Detroit's own "Jazz Corner of The World," Baker's Keyboard Lounge, which still holds the distinction of being the oldest operating jazz joint in the world. Assisting Hanna was a quartet of crack Detroit pros which included reedman Robert Reeves, veteran pianist Phil Lesky, bassist Kerry Lacy, and drummer Bang Glenn, who warmed up the hometown crowd for Hanna with lively renditions of "Have You Seen Miss Jones" and "Footprints."
Hanna then took a stage which his father had performed on throughout the better part of five decades, and proceeded to hold a vocal clinic, starting off the set with a jaunty rendition of "Moondance." When he jumped off into a lively take on "Night In Tunisia," he got to open up a silky, melodic tenor voice which not only blended right in with the band but also assumed the guise of a fifth instrument. Hanna also traded riffs with the bassist, who was laying down some thick tumbao, then took that smooth tenor down a notch with a moving take on "Come Sunday."
About halfway into the night the music took an ethereal, almost other- worldly turn when Hanna started playing off pianist Phil Lesky and taking his cues from him. Lesky has a prodigious left hand which assumed the lead, with Hanna following suit. This interplay was apparent on this singer's oblique version of "All Blues." Throughout the set he showed his versatility on an eclectic set which also included a sedate walk through "Just One of Those Things," a vocalese homage to Eddie Jefferson (who was tragically killed outside of Baker's) on "Bennie's From Heaven," and the rarely performed Grady Tate classic "Sack Full Of Dreams."
Hanna seems to have what it takes to perform this music. Besides having that buttery tenor, he has that sense of timing and rhythm that all great vocalists have. When he quits his day job, he'll have a good replacement.

Company gets film online soon after bow
Digital moviestore ClickStar is losing its CEO and gaining its second near-day-and-date release.
James Ackerman has ankled his post atop the Netco, a joint venture of chipmaker Intel and Revelations Entertainment, the production company headed by Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary.
Ackerman was appointed to the post early last year with the goal of guiding ClickStar through its December launch. McCreary, who was already chair, will now take over as CEO on top of her producing duties as Revelations.
ClickStar appears to have been struggling in its first few months against bigger competitors iTunes, Amazon.com and Movielink. According to tracking Web site Alexa.com, traffic to ClickStar's site has been minimal following a brief burst around its launch.
Company hopes to get a second boost from "Lonely Hearts," an indie pic that will be available for download at ClickStar on April 27, two weeks after it hits theaters. True-crime story, which Roadside Attractions and Samuel Goldwyn Films are releasing, is written and directed by Todd Robinson and stars John Travolta and Salma Hayek.
Though the digital download biz is still very small, ClickStar is believed to be paying a significant advance for exclusive digital rights close to theatrical release for pics like "Lonely Hearts." "ClickStar's involvement was a linchpin for securing theatrical release for the movie," Roadside co-prexy Howard Cohen said.
"Lonely Hearts" is the second film ClickStar is distributing online within weeks of its theatrical debut. First was "10 Items or Less," which came out in December and was produced by Revelations.

WARREN - Long lines and crowded halls have been a common theme in Ohio, as many voters have taken advantage of the state's early voting process.
Trumbull County is no different, with its numbers surpassing 2008 totals.
According to Kelly Pallente, executive director of Trumbull County Board of Elections, the high numbers were expected.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
First-time voter Shamara Golden, 18, of Liberty, seals her ballot and gets a kiss from her mother, Betty Golden, on Monday at the Trumbull County Board of Elections in Warren.
"I think we thought it could have even been higher numbers than what we had," Pallente said Monday night. "Still, we ended up with higher numbers than the last presidential election."
In all, 30,860 early voting applications were acquired by voters in Trumbull County, and 28,918 have been submitted. In 2008, early votes cast in the county totaled 25,012. Of the 28,918 early votes submitted, 17,876 were mail-in ballots and 10,516 were walk-ins. The mail-in ballots include 312 military or overseas voters and 321 ballots from nursing homes.
Overall, Pallente is expecting turnout of about 75 percent.
That isn't to say all of the early votes cast will count, though: Elections board members on Monday rejected 14 absentee ballots cast early for today's presidential election.
Pallente said 11 ballots were rejected because the ballot stubs were missing; one because the voter's address on the envelope didn't match the address on computer file; one ballot had a similar registration problem; and one person accidentally voted in the office and also mailed in a ballot, so one of the ballots was rejected.
The board will meet today to rule on other absentee ballot issues.

I'll get a full post out much later today than normal, but I wanted to chime in with some random thoughts:
- Kravitz' claim that Indy can't win the Super Bowl with Manning making the franchise tag in 2011 rings false. It will be true in the future as that value increases, but I don't believe it's true now. I'm not sure the Colts are Super Bowl contenders anyway, and putting that on Manning is a fallacy. Free agency rarely solves problems, and while Indy needs some kind of help at safety, that can be achieved via restructuring other deals.
- Let's be clear: it's not any player's responsibility to manage the cap or protect team finances. That's the GM's job. My piece on Manning yesterday was about the pressure applied to him, not reality. In reality, the only ones to blame if Indy doesn't have the money to make the right moves are the Polians. Manning is under no obligation to 'help' the team financially. It's not fair to blame players for wanting fair market deals. That's management's job to figure out how to do it. If the Colts haven't managed their cap and roster correctly, blaming the quarterback is ridiculous. Blame the GM who didn't plan it out right. I think this discussion will be moot anyway.
- Everyone complained about Manning's deal in 2004 too. There was a lot of hand-wringing and worrying that it would destroy the Colts, especially in 2009 and 2010 when Manning's cap number would skyrocket. Everyone compared it to Brady's team friendly deal. All that talk was nonsense. It's just as stupid now.
- The problem with Kelvin Hayden's deal is the bonus money. Back in February, I advocated cutting him because it was unclear how the $7.1 million in unpaid bonus money would be accounted for. There was a chance Indy would have it wiped out entirely. Now, however, cutting outright just doesn't save enough cap space. His $8 million+ cap hit would be reduced to the total outstanding bonus money, meaning Indy would only save about $1 million but cutting him. If they rework his deal to a smaller salary, he can get paid MORE in Indy than he would as a free agent, but still save the Colts cash. It doesn't matter what Hayden is worth right now. What matters is creating cap room, and cutting him just doesn't save as much as a restructuring might.
- Ryan Diem has no outstanding bonus money, so cutting him outright really does save Indy millions.
- Remind me why I'm supposed to worry about Matt Hasselbeck again? He hasn't played in 16 games, completed more than 60% of his passes, or had a rating over 75.1 since 2007. I'm sorry, but I don't see how he helps the Titans.
- I believe Chad Spann has a real shot at making the Colts not just as a kick returner. He's a pure running back, and worked on kicks this summer to enhance his chances of making a roster. Don't think of him as a specialist. He's a running back, and I suspect Indy will largely be heading for a more up the middle style run game in general. I don't expect Addai to be resigned.
- With Mikell 'off the board' I'm terrified Indy is going to settle on Melvin Bullitt at safety. I don't think he's the answer.
- I don't expect Indy to sign any significant free agents, unless you consider a veteran retread like Tommie Harris significant. We might see some veteran O-line help, but only as a stop gap for this year. I still dream of Weddle, but I fear that's not in the cards.

The Welfare State and Baumol's Law
Martin Paldam
University of Aarhus - Department of Economics
March 24, 2009
Univ. of Aarhus Economics Working Paper No. 2009-5
The paper considers a two-sector economy with a constant population: The public sector, with stable productivity, and a private sector, with productivity growth. Baumol's law says that such an economy has no steady state. It is demonstrated what this means. Two attempts to uphold a policy that fixes a key ratio are discussed: One policy fixes the tax share - this causes the share of the real public sector to vanish. The other policy fixes the share of real public production - this causes the tax pressure to keep rising.

They Call Him Hitler, But Is He Really Ghandi? Why Doesn't Corporate Media Want You To Hear Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
"The United States is a big and important country with a population of 300 million. Due to certain issues, the American people in the past years have been denied correct and clear information about global developments and are eager to hear different opinions," Mr Ahmadinejad
SCOTT PELLEY of CBS News: But the American people, sir, believe that your country is a terrorist nation, exporting terrorism in the world. You must have known that visiting the World Trade Center site would infuriate many Americans, as if to be mocking the American people.
AHMADINEJAD: Well, I'm amazed. How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?
PELLEY: Well, the American nation . . .
AHMADINEJAD: . . . you are representing a media and you're a reporter. The American nation is made up of 300 million people. There are different points of view over there. I would like to think that the points of view of the American people is very close to the points of view of the Iranian people. The American people are very much against and opposed what certain American officials are saying and their points of view. And they're also, the way that the people have voted in the American elections is very telling. And we are criticizing such behavior on the part of the American government. We believe that if anyone just allows himself to accuse others, there will be no possibility for peace and friendship.

This Iranian dude is SMART.
He is up there with Putin.
When this guy opens his mouth and presents a fact, all the hemming and hawing about this and that come to an end, so many of those reporters, including another shill by the name of Mike Wallace, get put in their place.
What place is that ?
Mostly the brainwashed retard place where people inculcated with false information dwell.
Although this Ahmadinejad has a god awful name to pronounce, and also is kind of a religious crank also, he, like Putin are damned intelligent, and really fun to listen to.
This guy cuts through a lot of bullshit. Thats why they would like to kill his ass.

Ghandi was a racist who hated black people. If you don't believe me as the Tamil panthers/untouchable why they hate Ghandi?

Well ... Mike ... when Ghandi wasn't "hating black people" he had some interesting things to say:
"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave."
"A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes."
- Sep 24, 2007, 12:10:00 AM
Ghandi was a man, just like you. flaws and all.
but to suggest that we throw the baby out with the bath water is silly at best, completely dangerously self-defeating at worst.
That you would choose to attack such a cleary impactful life from this narrow, pointed angle exposes your inability to forgive your own flaws and shortcomings.
And lays bare your open wounds.
you should get that looked at.

Not Mike but Soulijah Story! Sorry for the anonymous post it won't happen again.
I chose to point out the fact that Ghandi was a racism and hated Black people because it is true.
That does not mean that he do not have interesting things to say. I just wanted to shed some light on the a fact that many are unfamiliar with regarding Ghandi.
--In 1906 Gandhi had participated in a war against Blacks. The Gandhian literature either keeps quiet on the subject or tries to paint him as a great humanitarian who actually helped Blacks by rendering to them urgent medical care. Had he not done so, we are told, many Blacks would have died. While researching the historical documents, however, I found that Gandhi's participation had nothing to do with "humanitarian concerns" for Black people. He was more concerned with "allying relationships" with the colonial Whites living in Natal colony. Driven by his racial outlook, he went out of his way to enlist Indians to join the army under him to fight for his cause against the Blacks. He also considered Indians living in South Africa to be "fellow colonists" along with the White colonists, over the indigenous Blacks.
We should take nothing at face value! That's all I am suggesting love him or hate him, just know him before an opinion is formed.
Be Well,

These are not my words. This is information that I researched to provide supportive information about Ghandi's past.

but the question at this point is, does it matter what our opinion of him is? If we are debating how we feel about a dead man aren't we missing the real opportunity to gleam from his life the jewels he left behind? why go back and scoop up shit when there are genuine pearls to be collected.
was he not a man?

I agree Jasai. I find the suggestion that Ghandi "didn't like blacks" as absurd as the suggestion Ghandi didn't like blondes.
The man lived to be damn near 80 years old. Not that it matters in the least, but how could anyone know how a man felt about anything over that period of time?
The need to see everything in terms as simple as black and white, with black on the bottom is the epitome of mental slavery.
- Sep 24, 2007, 11:37:00 PM
If it is mental slavery to focus on the truth. Then I will accept your definition of "mental slavery" and run with it.
As I mentioned in an earlier post not everyone it familiar with
the truth about Ghandi. Thus, when it is mentioned that he hated Black people those who are not familiar with this truth, are in disbelief that anyone can say such a thing about Ghandi.
As a Black men who loves Black people, I refuse to pretend that the truth is a lie.
As I mention before ask the Tamil Panthers why they hate Ghandi.
I believe in forgiveness and feel that all human beings should be jugded by their deeds/actions.
But in order to have forgiveness their must be repentence. If one do not believe that his/her action are wrong that how can that be forgiveness?
"The truth shall set you free"

Brother Soulijah,
I think you are misunderstanding my contempt for the suggestion that Ghandi "didn't like black people".
I do not think it is a lie.
I don't doubt you read something or the other that suggests it.
Hell, I am sure if one reads long enough he could find something that suggests "Malcolm X didn't like black people".
I simply assert 1) How could anyone know that 2) What's there to hate about black people? 3) Hating an entire race of people because of the hue of their skin is the province of mental midgets.
Tamil Tigers or not - you are not suggesting brother Ghandi was a mental midget are you?
Of course not.
So, let's not get bogged down in ridiculous speculations about the affinity for black people of a man dead for decades.

Published May 8, 2014
Graduate School of Education faculty member Alexa Dimick has been chosen as a 2014 National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow, considered the most prestigious and highly competitive fellowship for early career scholars in education.
Dimick, assistant professor in the Department of Learning and Instruction, focuses her research on issues of power, equity and social justice in science education. As a postdoctoral fellow, she will pursue a research project that explores how environmental science classroom experiences in urban schools influence young people's environmental participation and civic engagement.
"Professor Dimick has proven to be an emerging influential scholar in this area of social justice, particularly in the areas that deal with the environment," says Jaekyung Lee, dean and professor in the Graduate School of Education.
"She has been engaged in research with low-income, minority students and their teachers in urban communities," Lee says. "For this NAEd/Spencer project, she will be working with youth and their environmental science teachers in four urban high schools, where many students go to a 'failing' school with a very low graduation rate.
"Her work has great potential to develop new knowledge and make significant contributions in the area of public education for civic engagement through her theory-driven application of rigorous research methods to social justice issues," he says.
A UB faculty member since 2011, Dimick earned her doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Her professional and research interests include curriculum theory and research, environmental education, social justice science education and student empowerment.
"Global environmental concerns are one of the most pressing issues of our time because of their enormity and basis in human activity," says Dimick, who has written and presented on the connection between good citizenship and environmental education. "In response, environmental education aims to prepare students to actively participate in addressing environmental issues and concerns at both societal and personal levels. This need is especially great for the youth in poor and urban communities who often live on the margins — socially, economically and, frequently, environmentally as well."

Hotel battle reaches settlement
HONOLULU - There's a settlement in a bitter battle over a Waikiki hotel that had resulted in a takeover and a federal lawsuit.
The owner of The Modern Honolulu hotel will pay the trendy hotel's former operator, Marriott International, an undisclosed sum. Marriott has agreed to drop its lawsuit and to withdraw opposition to a Chapter 11 reorganization plan.
Marriott had claimed the takeover of the Waikiki Edition by Aqua Hotels damaged Marriott's reputation and cost the company millions. Marriott claimed Aqua executives signed in as fake hotel guests to prepare for last year's takeover, which changed the hotel's name to the Modern.
When a judge ordered management returned to Marriott, Modern owner M Waikiki blocked the move by filing for bankruptcy.

You can not have a 10-16 team conference and EVER have more than HALF of them finish in the top HALF of your conference..... That means: HALF of your conference teams will ALWAYS finish in the BOTTOM HALF... No matter who you hire to coach....
So do a reality check.... If you are in the bottom half, ask yourself, honestly, who can you displace from the top half.... I assure you it's harder than it looks.. You can't just grow a tradition by hiring the right coach.
I know that Bill Snyder did it, and am sure there others did that just dont come to mind. If you know of any situations, love to have you post them. It's just a very long shot IMHO.

The syndrome of bulimia is a common disorder and can be associated with serious psychological and physical morbidity. Unfortunately, many patients are reluctant to discuss their symptoms with their physicians and few clues can be found on physical examination to aid in the diagnosis. Possible physical signs include ulceration or scarring of the dorsum of the hand, salivary gland hypertrophy, and dental enamel erosion. In laboratory testing it is fairly common for patients with active bulimia to have fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, particularly hypokalemic alkalosis, and some also have elevated serum amylase levels. Rare complications include myopathies from misuse of ipecac, ruptured esophagus and pneumomediastinum associated with vomiting, and subtle abnormalities in neuroendocrine regulatory systems. Medical management including monitoring of fluid and electrolyte balance is essential during treatment.

Urology Care at Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital
The specialists who make up the urology team at Emory Saint Joseph's are experts in their field, bringing academic- and research-based innovation to the clinical forefront. The capabilities of our Emory Healthcare urologists are extended through our close association with the Urology Specialists of Atlanta, a private practice based at Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital. Combined, the team offers a broad range of general and specialized urologic expertise in areas of treatment such as robotic surgery, reconstructive urology, men's health and infertility, urologic oncology (including our Active Surveillance program for low-risk prostate cancer patients), and female incontinence and pelvic surgery.
Because we are part of an academic health care system, our physicians participate in cutting-edge research designed to improve the care of urologic conditions using the latest techniques and technology. Our program's physicians, nurses and other staff members use this experience to guide the outstanding patient care we provide through our multi-specialty prostate cancer clinic, in addition to a full spectrum of urologic conditions. Our program's physicians, urologists, nurses, and staff are focused on providing excellent care in the treatment of conditions that include incontinence, bladder fistula, erectile dysfunction, male factor infertility, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, kidney stones, urologic cancers including bladder cancer, kidney cancer and prostate cancer, pelvic prolapse, pelvic urethral diverticum and enlarged prostate.
The physicians of Emory Urology at Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital provide a comprehensive range of complex urologic care for both men and women, including minimally invasive treatments for many urologic conditions.
Robotic surgery is minimally invasive surgery performed with the assistance of a robot that extends the capabilities of the surgeon. Robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site. Most patients newly diagnosed with localized prostate cancer may be candidates for robotic prostate surgery.
The Emory Saint Joseph's Visconti Center for Robotic Surgery features a team that includes university-based surgeons who use their fellowship and advanced training in laparoscopic and robotic surgery to provide the best possible clinical outcomes for our patients. In addition, many provide training to the next generation of urologic surgeons through teaching positions at the Emory University School of Medicine.
The Center features the da Vinci® Si Surgical System, the most advanced robotic surgical system available. The da Vinci Si assists the well-trained surgeon in performing a more precise and less invasive surgical procedure that can spare crucial structures. In addition, robotic prostatectomy with the da Vinci Si System is associated with quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, less pain, less scarring, less blood loss and fewer transfusions.
The physicians of Emory Urology at Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital provide a comprehensive range of complex urologic care for both men and women, including minimally invasive treatments for prostate, bladder and kidney cancer, incontinence, kidney stones, enlarged prostate, infertility, female pelvic prolapse and erectile dysfunction.

When TV was comforting
I write to pay long-overdue homage to my fellow local daily children's show hosts, who touched millions upon millions of young lives for the better.
They rode in on skates, bicycles, tricycles, trains, and horseback (the galloping horse was only heard, never seen). They worked their wonders in front of the studio curtains with props of sails and saddles, tepees and storefronts, sometimes with painted canvas backdrops of ocean waves, Western plains, snowy mountains, and spooky forests.

But if it is was my last meal and I had to choose, I'd pick sweet potatoes over okra too! :-)

A Hollidaysburg man allegedly amassed painkillers by "doctor shopping," according to state narcotics agents.
Richard D. Hofer Sr., 53, of 1601 Allegheny St., Apt. 5, is accused of seeking out prescription drugs from three doctors between Dec. 10, 2012, and April 30, 2013, an investigation by the state Attorney General's Office and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs concluded.
Hofer was a patient at the Van Zandt VA Medical Center, 2907 Pleasant Valley Blvd., and as part of the center's pain management program, had agreed not to get any drugs from non-VA doctors, according to court records.
An investigation revealed Hofer violated the agreement and received drugs from "a non-VA pharmacy, prescribed by a non-VA physician," a violation of the agreement, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Hofer's VA prescriptions included methadone hydrochloride and morphine sulphate, and investigators allegedly found Hofer had obtained prescriptions of an oxycodone/acetaminphen painkiller, as well as a oxycodone/hydrochloride prescription from the other doctors.
The doctors all believed they were the only physicians treating Hofer and prescribing him medication, police concluded.
The doctors also said if they had known Hofer was being treated elsewhere, they would not have prescribed the medication.
Police alleged Hofer knowingly mislead and deceived the doctors to get the pills.
Hofer, police said, invoked his right to remain silent when confronted with the investigation.
He was arraigned Wednesday on 14 felony counts of acquiring a controlled substance through fraud or deception before Magisterial District Judge Steven Jackson.
Hofer was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 20.

Green Wave will honor its three-member senior class prior to tip-off
New Orleans - The Tulane basketball team will attempt to post its second straight winning season for the first time in 11 years when the Green Wave hosts East Carolina in the regular season finale at 6 p.m. this Saturday at Fogelman Arena. All TU students, faculty and staff will be admitted for free with a valid Tulane ID and will also receive $1 drinks and hot dogs. Fans may bring their ticket stubs from Saturday's TU baseball game to Fogelman Arena and receive admission for just $5. There will also be a free raffle for all attending students with a grand prize of two tickets to Jazz Fest 2008.
A win over East Carolina would guarantee Tulane (15-14, 5-10 C-USA) its second straight winning season, which has not been achieved since the 1995-96 (22-10) and 1996-97 (20-11) campaigns under Perry Clark. Tulane notched a 17-13 overall record a year ago.
This year's conference finish and seeding is very simple for the Wave. A win will give TU a ninth-place finish in league play and a ninth-place seed in next week's tournament. A loss would put Tulane in 10th place in the final standings, and hand the Wave a 10th seed in the tournament.
For the year, Tulane is averaging 66.2 points and 33.9 rebounds per game and is shooting 44.3 percent from the field, 32.7 percent from behind the three-point line and 70.2 percent from the free-throw line.
David Gomez and Kevin Sims lead the Green Wave is scoring with 14.3 and 12.2 points per game, respectively. Gomez is also the team's top rebounder with 5.8 boards per game, respectively, while Sims leads the squad in assists and steals with 3.8 and 1.3 per contest, respectively.
East Carolina (11-17, 5-10 C-USA) has literally saved the best for last with a season-best three-game win streak entering the finale at Tulane. ECU has posted consecutive wins over SMU (82-54), third-place Houston (84-83) and at Rice (75-68). Prior to its current win streak, the Pirates had posted back-to-back wins just once this season.
ECU is 1-7 overall on the road this season and 1-6 in league play. However, the Pirates picked up their first road win in their last game at Rice, which snapped a 20-game losing skid on the road dating back to last season. The conference road win was the first for ECU since a 67-64 victory at UAB on Feb. 16, 2005, or a span of 23 straight league losses away from home.
East Carolina is averaging 68.8 points and 33.2 rebounds per game, and is shooting 41.9 percent from the field, including 38.3 percent from behind the three-point line, and 69.4 percent from the foul line. Sam Henan is the lone Pirate averaging double figure scoring with 11.3 points per contest. Gabe Blair leads the club in rebounding with 6.9 boards per outing.
Saturday's game marks the ninth all-time meeting between Tulane and East Carolina, and the Green Wave leads the series, 7-1. TU has a perfect 4-0 record against East Carolina at Fogelman Arena. The Pirates joined Conference USA in 2001-02.
The finale marks the second straight year, and the third time in last four seasons (2004-05), the Green Wave has concluded the regular season at home against East Carolina. TU is 2-0 against the Pirates at home on Senior Day. Tulane is 2-0 on Senior Day under head coach Dave Dickerson and has won its last three home finales.
When Tulane hosts East Carolina this Saturday, the Green Wave's senior trio of David Gomez, Donnavan Stith and Matt Wheaton will take the floor for the final time at Fogelman Arena. The group has weathered a coaching change and Hurricane Katrina during their careers, but has produced a total of 54 victories and is on the cusp of leading Tulane to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 11 years.
Gomez is a four-year starter and letterman who has played in 116 career games and ranks among the school's career leaders in scoring (14th-1,331), rebounding (15th-598), blocked shots (4th-139), free throws (4th-366), free throw attempts (5th-510), games played (10th) and games started (7th-97). He is the 14th player in school history to register 1,000 points, 500 rebounds.
Stith is a four-year letterman who has played in 116 career games and ranks among Tulane's career leaders in blocked shots (5th-137), rebounds (16th-544), games played (10th), and he holds the school's single game record for the best free throw percentage in a single game when he hit all 14 attempts against Louisville as freshman during the 2004-05 campaign.
Wheaton is a four-year letterman and three-year starter who has played in 112 games with 73 starts. He is tied for fifth among the school's career leaders for three-point percentage (.370) and has two game-winning shots, both which happened last season.
Next Up:
Tulane will make the journey north to the 2008 Conference USA Tournament at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. The four-day event will begin on Wednesday, March 12 and conclude with the championship game on Saturday, March 15. Depending on its seeding, the Green Wave will open first round play on Wednesday.

FA Cup briefing
Team news, statistics and our verdict for Sunday's action in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
- Related Content
Sunday, March 9
Sheffield United v Charlton (1200 GMT)
Sheffield United quartet Harry Maguire, Jamie Murphy, John Brayford and Stephen McGinn are all doubtful. Defender Maguire has missed the last two games due to a knee injury, while Murphy and Brayford sat out the midweek win against Peterborough with respective groin and calf problems and McGinn suffered a recurrence of a back injury in midweek. Terry Kennedy, who made his full debut against Peterborough, could continue in central defence if Maguire is ruled out, while on-loan Ben Davies stepped in for Brayford.
Charlton are hopeful Michael Morrison, Jordan Cousins and Simon Church will be fit. Defender Morrison suffered a thigh strain during last weekend's 3-0 Sky Bet Championship defeat by Leicester while midfielder Cousins and striker Church also picked up knocks, with the latter forced to withdraw from the Wales squad in midweek. Fit-again goalkeeper Ben Hamer (ankle) is set to keep his place ahead of January signing Yohann Thuram-Ulien.
Top goalscorers (all competitions): Chris Porter (Sheff Utd) 9; Simon Church (Charlton) 7
Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)
Our verdict: Sheffield United 1 Charlton 2
Sone Aluko and Yannick Sagbo are in line to lead the Hull attack, with January signings Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic both cup-tied. Maynor Figueroa is a doubt having had a gruelling friendly trip to Honduras in midweek, but otherwise there are no new injury concerns for the Tigers.
Sunderland midfielder Liam Bridcutt returns to the squad after the 24-year-old Scotland international was ineligible for the Capital One Cup final. Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder) remains the only man on the long-term casualty list after undergoing shoulder surgery which is likely to rule him out for much of the remainder of the season.
Top goalcorers (all competitions): Robbie Brady (Hull) 4; Adam Johnson (Sunderland) 9
Match odds: H 23-20 A 13-5 D 11-5
Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire)
Our verdict: Hull 1 Sunderland 0
Manchester City v Wigan (1605 GMT)
Manchester City are still without defender Matija Nastasic (knee) and striker Stevan Jovetic (hamstring). Striker Edin Dzeko is in contention despite reports that he was unhappy about playing 90 minutes for Bosnia-Herzegovina in midweek due to a fitness issue. With manager Manuel Pellegrini regularly playing his second-choice goalkeeper in domestic cup ties, there could be another opportunity for Costel Pantilimon.
FA Cup holders Wigan are unlikely to have top scorer Nick Powell back in time from a hamstring problem. Ben Watson, whose late headed goal defeated City at Wembley last May, is out for the season after sustaining a double fracture in his leg while Martyn Waghorn, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Rob Kiernan are all cup-tied. Winger Callum McManaman (ankle) may feature for the first time since the last round. Long-term injury victims Scott Carson (thigh), Gary Caldwell (calf) and Shaun Maloney (hip) are all back in training, although this clash is likely to come too soon for each of them.
Top goalscorers (all competitions): Sergio Aguero (Man City) 26; Nick Powell (Wigan) 10
Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire)
Our verdict: Manchester City 3 Wigan 1

Mariano Azuela, the first of the "novelists of the Revolution," was born in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, in 1873. He studied medicine in Guadalajara and returned to Lagos in 1909,where he began the practice of his profession. He began his writing career early; in 1896 he published Impressions of a Student in a weekly of Mexico City. This was followed by numerous sketches and short stories, and in 1911 by his first novel, Andres Perez, maderista.
Like most of the young Liberals, he supported Francisco I. Madero's uprising, which overthrew the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, and in 1911 was made Director...
Hailed as the greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution, The Underdogs recounts the story of an illiterate but charismatic Indian peasant farmer's part in the rebellion against Porfirio Díaz, and his subsequent loss of belief in the cause when the revolutionary alliance becomes factionalized. Azuela's masterpiece is a timeless, authentic portrayal... Read more

Everyone grieves on their own schedule. Dana Dix of Greeley is tired of hearing those platitudes — she said, with some seriousness, that she would punch the next person who said that — and yet, it's true.
For almost a year, Dix grieved over Seth Yetter, her 25-year-old son who died suddenly of a heart defect on Dec. 10, 2011. But then she decided to give his death a purpose.
As a result, she is raising money for Seth's Social Center for a village in Ghana, Africa, that rescues children from the slave trade. She was inspired after seeing another mother's efforts to start the rescue foundation, Touch A Life, after her own son died of the same heart defect that took Seth.
Everyone grieves differently. We're glad that Dix chose to put her pain into a good cause.

Gas prices are heading in the right direction
Have you filled up your car with gas lately?
Saweeeet, isn't it?
We didn't think we'd ever see gas at less than $3 a gallon again. But earlier this week, we bought gas for $2.93 a gallon. A reader walked in the door Thursday and said with his grocery store discount, he's able to get a gallon for $2.82. Is $2.70-something in our future?
We're not exactly sure who to thank. Santa Claus, perhaps? Maybe the moons are properly aligned over OPEC? Maybe it was the end of high gas prices, not the end of the world, that was supposed to happen on the Mayan calendar?
Whatever the reason, we'll give out a couple of "woots," as they say in the social media world. Now if the mountains would just get a little more snow, we might think again about taking that weekend ski trip.
We gladly welcome recent snowfall
Speaking of snow, we do know who to thank for the thin layer of white fluffy stuff that recently fell on the northeastern plains. And we're even more thankful for the thicker blanket of frozen water crystals that fell in the mountains.
Thank you, Mother Nature.
We hope it's only the beginning, mind you. We'd be very appreciative of more — both down here on the plains, as well as in the high country. As we all know, our summer water supply, our ability to have green lawns and blooming flowers, and our ability to grow and harvest crops depend to a great extent on the amount of precipitation that falls in Colorado during the winter.
Let it snow, Mother Nature. Again and again and again.
Keep your eyes
out for scams
We shake our heads in disbelief sometimes at the depths to which some people will go to scam another.
For example, we heard soon after the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that some scammers had immediately purchased the domain names of student victims, and then set up websites that collected donations to raise money for the students' families. Some of the fundraising was legitimate, but much of it was not.
And in today's paper, we read about a scam that has surfaced in Colorado about bank accounts. Emails are being sent that appear to be from well-known banks or credit unions. The emails warn customers their accounts have been compromised, prompting them to click on a link and enter personal information. You probably already know this, but don't click on the link. Residents can report fraudulent emails to the National Fraud Information Center by calling (800) 876-7060.

[FIXED] JGI data loss in /projectb/sandbox area [purge]
August 19, 2013 by Kjiersten Fagnan
We have discovered a serious bug in our purge scripts on /global/projectb. The */global/projectb/sandbox* areas are supposed to be immune from the purge (like the project directories); however, there is a bug in the purge script that caused some files to be deleted if they had not been touched for 90+ days (like data in the scratch directories). *The sandbox areas are not backed up*, so if this data was not in more than one location on disk or in HPSS, it has been lost. We have found the bug and have suspended the purge script until the bug is fixed.

text: Michele Warrenton, Virginia 8/18/2014 2:08:32 PM I certainly hope that the AKC, in affording the Chinese Kennel Club such recognition is also making it clear that selling puppies in markets for consumption in Guangdong and other provinces, or raising them for their fur and then clubbing them to death, is not acceptable in any civilized country - and certainly not one seeking to be a modern state. The practice used in Beijing when they want to decrease the dog population is to tax ownership to the point that owners are forced to euthanize their pets in a wholesale manner is also unacceptable. As a long time breeder and exhibitor, but also a senior US diplomat, I would make participation in AKC activities contingent of promotion of humane practices. Since anyone exhibiting in China is a member of the ruling class, this should be easy.

This Is Vegas

- This Is Vegas
- WOW this game looks bad...
soccerman36 8 years ago#1
watching the preview.. i kept waiting for something to happen that would actually indicate there is something worth checking out in this game.... but apparently not. Lame dancing simulator + lame assortment of minigames + REALLY lame fighting mechanic = This Is Vegas.
Is anyone out there actually interested by this game? and if so... why?
jazztrumpet5 8 years ago#2
Yeah, pretty much everything in this game looks terrible. Graphics, gameplay, premise... To me it looks like one of those games where absolutely nothing is well-developed or fleshed out.
Even the lame attempt at creating "sexy" girls. Wet T-shirt contest? Dumb idea that also looks like crap.
Worse than Big Rigs.
Seems like just a really lame mini-game compilation game.
MetroidPrimePwn 8 years ago#4
Yeah. This looks like it has some serious problems. The main of which is that nothing seems "smooth" or "even". The dancing just seems to be a forced mechanic, and the moves look mechanical and don't flow well. Dancing in real life should be natural, and this game's dancing isn't. The fighting also seems to be a problem, as in the trailer, the fighting didn't look fun at all. The guy didn't really fight back. Ideally, I'd want the fighting to be challenging, and in this game, it obviously isn't. I want the other guy to throw punches, to have my guy get hit, knocked back, knocked down, etc.
MetroidPrimePwn 8 years ago#5
Also, the animations looked forced as well. In the "Wet T-Shirt Contest", the girls didn't react natuarlly to the spraying (they sort of stood there for a while, and when they did move, they didn't seem to be moving in reaction to the water). Also, the guy looked like he was just standing there and moving his waste. Thanks to Crysis and Uncharted, I'm using to smooth, natural, and realistic movement animations. He should be swinging his arm around to move the sprayer, moving his hips and moving his head. But he's just not.
In Vegas, you want your moves to be smooth, but this game's moves aren't.
Everything about this presentation looks awful. The most insulting bit to me was the wet t-shirt mini-game... but let's be honest. Nearly every component of that video insults your intelligence in some manner.
soccerman36 (Topic Creator)8 years ago#7
even the guy narrating the video sounded really akward and unnatural. I mean bad video games are not exactly rare... but its just kind of weird that this is like a Gamespot featured preview... it seems like a joke.
Adam_the_Nerd 8 years ago#8
I agree. What really makes me mad though, is that I opepend up a topic like this on another board, "This Game looks like crap/no one really cares about this game sadly" and was suspended for 1 day.
I could not agree more! Make a game focused on action, or create a ripoff of the sims, but don't mix them up. Nobody has made any real money off of a game that is half GTA and half Sims because both genres are too different to be mixed. "This is Vegas" is going to go ahead and do it anyway, its going to suck, and it will fail miserably.
Terrible waste of potential. They could have made a great game out of it if the developers weren't such clueless morons.
The preview wasn't that great looking. There were serious graphics issues, and the minigames were kinda lame lame. Plus, the fighting AI looks awful. The guy just stood there.
I can't imagine Gamespot giving this game a respectable score.

Noble Map Pack Review
The Noble Map Pack allows Halo: Reach players a bit of a fresh frolic in some fancy new surroundings.
A few months on, and I still stand by my opinion that Halo: Reach is the best multiplayer Halo to date - though I still get maddeningly incensed enough to bite the controller in half every time I end up with a streak of buggering assists. But despite the commendable design efforts with Bungie's latest and greatest, I'm still inexplicably drawn towards Call of Duty. Yes: I'm a fair-weather Halo player.
If Bungie is looking to woo me back with some spangly new maps, then, I can safely say I'm theirs for another few weeks - or at least until I hit Lt Colonel - and I'll pay 800 points for the privilege, too. Three maps are pumped fresh into your hard drive for the Microsoft monies, nicely bolstering the nine which shipped on the disc. Unlike many of the pre-existing maps, here Bungie has produced bespoke arenas with no correlation to the single-player campaign. To be fair, Treyarch did the same with Call of Duty: Black Ops and managed to pump out a roster of 14. Still, it's all a bit horses for courses - let's just say both games are far better than Medal of Honor, and move on.
We'll start with Breakpoint, which serves as both the pack's highlight and its largest map. The action is based in and around a UNSC science facility built to tap into ancient Forerunner technology, peaking in a giant mass of mechanical tendrils splayed across the bottom of a ridge. It looks good, too: I spent a good few seconds standing at the rear of a long-range sniper pack on the nobbly, frost-encrusted mountains taking in the view - the kind of breathtaking vista shot Bungie has a pitch-perfect knack at pulling off every now and then.
Breakpoint is big. Like, really big - it's been designed primarily as an Invasion map. It works well in Big Team Battle, too, with a pleasing circuit to lap around again and again in vehicles. The massive, open skies are kept busy with Banshees and a Falcon, and on the ground a Warthog dukes it out with Ghosts and Wraiths. While snipers take desperate pot-shots at one another outside, those who prefer their action up-close-and-personal weave in and around the base's labyrinthine tubes and tunnels to get the drop on any group too foolish to check their flanks.
It's a great map, but you'll want to be careful when creeping around. Wide open spaces mean there's often a full 360 degrees of potential assault to take into consideration.
Tempest is a slightly smaller affair, making it perfect for your average game of Team Slayer. With sandy beaches, craggy rocks and angular Forerunner geometry, it's clearly trading off the old 'Halo ring' sort of vibe. A shallow river encircles the map, and if you look a bit further and you might get a whiff of the National Trust, only with Mongooses, sniper rifles and (often purportedly ironic) tea-bagging. As for ramping up the death-dealing, adjacent machinegun encampments peek over a central canyon, which serves as the map's main point of conflict.
Everything's still a bit too open to bust out the shotgun, although if you manage to sprint around and catch the enemy unaware then the world is your oyster - I'll stick with the DMR though, thanks. There are also plenty of dreaded crannies here, which give people plenty of opportunity to duck out of view just before you can pop out that all-important finishing shot. Which is all part of the fun, I'm told. Gits.

HONG KONG — Thousands of people rallied in Hong Kong on Sunday to demand justice for a young Indonesian maid who was badly beaten by her employer in a case that has sparked widespread outrage and a police investigation into accusations of torture.
The ill-treatment of foreign domestic workers in Asian and Gulf regions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Dubai has been a longstanding problem but the severe injuries suffered by the Indonesian maid have drawn fresh attention to the risks faced by this migrant community.
"We are workers. We are not slaves," chanted a crowd of several thousand domestic workers and their supporters as they marched to Hong Kong's government headquarters.
Some waved the red and white flag of Indonesia, while others held up grisly photographs of the battered face and body of the 23-year-old maid, Erwiana Sulistyaningsih.
"We have to end modern day slavery like this," said Ila Hasan, 32, a domestic worker from Indonesia's island of Java, who wore a red shawl and a blue bandana emblazoned with the word "Justice."
"The employer isn't human. These things shouldn't happen."
Hong Kong, a former British territory that returned to Chinese rule in 1997, has around 300,000 foreign domestic helpers, most of them from the Philippines and Indonesia.
While cases of such harsh treatment are rare, Hong Kong's policies on migrant workers have often made maids reluctant to report abuse for fear of losing their livelihoods and being deported if they fail to find new jobs swiftly.
Hong Kong police and the labor bureau are now investigating the case and will interview Erwiana on Monday, said Eni Lestari, the head of advocacy group the International Migrants' Alliance, which has been in close touch with the victim.
A second maid, identified only as Susi, who claimed to have been abused by the same employer, also gave a statement to police, saying she had frequently been beaten and abused.
No formal charges have yet been made against the Hong Kong employer, who also reportedly threatened to kill Erwiana and her family if she revealed the abuse she suffered.
Erwiana is now recovering from her injuries at a hospital in Sragen, a city in central Java, after flying out from Hong Kong in early January.
"I want the ones who tortured and wronged my daughter to be prosecuted and have justice done," said her father, Rohmad Saputra, speaking at her bedside.
The maid had suffered extensive injuries but her condition was stabilizing, a hospital spokesman said.
"She was subjected to intense heat. Most of the bruises are on the face, legs and arms. And she is in a very poor, weak condition," said Sri Yoko, the spokesman.
"Even what should be light activity is difficult for her. Now the progress is very good, but she still hasn't been communicating properly."
Rights groups demanded a review of Hong Kong's migrant worker policies to tackle issues such as overcharging by job agencies and the "two-week rule," referring to the deadline by which maids must leave the city after losing their jobs.
"This is not an isolated case," said Lestari, who estimates her group receives four to six complaints of physical assault each month from maids in Hong Kong.
"The only difference is we were able to bring it to the public and to the media and that put pressure on the police."
Additional reporting by Heru Asprihanto in Indonesia.
The Mask of Dr.Fu Manchu actually takes off.
Erwiana Sulistyaningsih get well soon.
And! Thein Sein is trying to send Myanmarese women there instead of trying to uplift the lives of women in his country. Thein Sein should send the daughters of Than Shwe, Shwe Mann and his own daughters to be maids in oversea. Then, he will find out how these maids suffer physically and mentally. As Thein Sein and his USDP party fail to meet the needs of the citizens, Suu Kyi and NLD must be given a chance to serve us. Suu Kyi may send people for further studies, not to be maids and slaves to the Chinese.

Willie Nile
If you put the music of Dylan, Springsteen and the Byrds into a blender and set the controls for "puree," you would end up with something like this album. Nile has even gone so far as to change his name—from Robert Noonan—and approve a jacket that is very reminiscent of the graphics of Dylan's 1966 Blonde on Blonde. He has also spent considerable energy burying his Buffalo, N.Y. roots and hyping Greenwich Village credentials. Of course, there have been plenty of great talents who started out mimicking others, but this is his second try and the results are equally disappointing. Willie is less making original art than marching to the sound of a different singer.

CentOS Goes Commercial
The market for CentOS Linux-based appliances continues growing, thanks in part to a new network-monitoring virtual appliance from GroundWork and commercial support services from OpenLogic.
CentOS is a freely available clone of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Until recently, CentOS users had to rely on the community for support, but that changed in December 2009 when services vendor OpenLogic began to offer commercial support for CentOS.
This week, open source network monitoring vendor GroundWork announced its new GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Quickstart Virtual Appliance based on CentOS and including commercial support from OpenLogic. The move marks the first time that OpenLogic has done an appliance support contract for CentOS, which could potentially lead to further growth in the CentOS installed base.
"Most companies coming to us for support are enterprises that are using CentOS or want to migrate to CentOS," Kim Weins, senior vice president of marketing at OpenLogic, told InternetNews.com.
While the commercial support for the GroundWork Monitor appliance deployment on CentOS is new, CentOS is no stranger to GroundWork users.

I can imagine using one of these either directly, or more likely, basing an XML language on a model that one of these languages have developed.
