About Levellers
The Levellers formed in 1988, bringing together five Brighton, England, musicians -- Mark Chadwick (vocals, guitar, banjo), Alan Miles (vocals, guitar, mandolin, harmonica), Jeremy Cunningham (bass, bouzouki), Charlie Heather (drums), and Jon Sevink (fiddle). Forging out a pseudo-hippie, slightly punky folk-rock with a Celtic flavoring, the band released two EPs on their own Hag label in 1989, which led to a contract with Musidisc. The band released their first album, A Weapon Called the Word, in 1990; after its release Miles quit the band -- he was quickly replaced by Simon Friend. The following year, the Levellers left the Musidisc label, moving to China Records. Later in the year they released Levelling the Land, which entered the U.K. charts at number 14 and would later go gold. "One Way," the first single from the album, hit number one on the indie charts and the band's tour was sold-out. All of the success led to an American record contract with Elektra. The Levellers' success continued throughout 1992, with more sold-out European tours and the hit Fifteen Years EP; even with all of their success, the band was only able to make a small impression in America. Throughout 1993, the band worked on their second album, Levellers; in the meantime, they continued touring and released the singles compilation, See Nothing, Hear Nothing, Do Something. Levellers didn't contain the same amount of hits, nor did it earn the same amount of positive press as their debut, yet the band's devoted following did not diminish. Zeitgeist followed in 1995 to mixed reviews, and the group's following began to diminish somewhat. In 1996, the band released Live: Headlights, White Lines, Black Tar Rivers. The band explored alternative guitar pop on 1997's Mouth to Mouth, followed by a greatest hits collection (One Way of Life: The Best of the Levellers) in 1998. After a lengthy hiatus, the group stormed back in 2003 with Green Blade Rising, an anthemic return to form that was echoed in 2005 with the similarly rousing Truth & Lies. While much of remainder of the decade was spent consolidating their fanbase with a number of prestigious European festival dates, 2008 brought the idiosyncratically political Letters From the Underground. Issued in the year of their 20th anniversary, it was the first studio album to be released on their own On The Fiddle label and their most successful disc since 2000's Hello Pig. Following Chadwick's late 2010 solo venture, All the Pieces, the new year saw the Levellers embark on a celebratory UK tour, performing Levelling the Land in its entirety a full 20 years after its release. Their raw, Czech Republic-recorded 10th studio album, Static on the Airwaves, arrived in summer 2012 and included the raucous single "Truth Is". ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

text: The goal for Ketel One was to reinvent the existing logo and promote its class amongst its superior competitors. Reinvention of the brand to the same target market was needed yet, there is a new light on the concept. The use of the original "K" in Ketel One is to keep the identity of Ketel One still visible to its current market. The typeface is bold, unique and more vibrant to illustrate the importance of the slogan, which is derived from a description of the taste of the vodka. The colors and layout are simple and clean. The black and yellow and the black and red layout are set to display a crisp and clean feeling like the vodka itself. This piece is a reinvention of an old product, with a new image, to its existing market.

The Empirical Relevance of the New Economic Geography: Testing for a Spatial Wage Structure in Germany

CESifo Working Paper Series No. 395
In this paper we want to shed some light on the empirical relevance of the new economic geography. Using one of the central features of the core new economic geography models, namely that wages have the tendency to fall the further one moves away from centres of economic activity, we investigate the existence of a spatial wage structure for post-unification Germany. We find support for a spatial wage structure for German city-district wages, and hence indirectly for the relevance of a new economic geography model for Germany. We also find that demand linkages in Germany are strongly localised and that the "old" border still matters to the extent that economic interactions between western and eastern Germany are still limited compared to the situation within these two parts of Germany.

Perhaps no one was happier in central Pennsylvania Monday than Rick Hill of Williamsport who made the first black bear he ever shot one to brag about.
Hill's bear weighed in at 446 pounds at the Trout Run bear check station. By comparison, the weight of adult black bears ranges from 140 to 400 pounds, with a rare few weighing more than 800 pounds, according to the state Game Commission Web site.
Hunters from around the state were tromping the woods on the first day of bear season, but Hill was among the lucky few who ended up with a kill.

The two high school students are "job shadowing" to find out what it is like to work for the Game Commission. The largest bear checked in as of 5:30 p.m. weighed 326 pounds.
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
The curious take advantage of bleachers set up in the bay of the Antes Fort Fire Co. as bears are brought in for weighing Monday at the check-in station.
Hill said he was about 30 yards away from the bear when he shot it while it was walking not far from his hunting club near Liberty.
"It was the only bear I saw," he said. "The club got two others."
Mario Giazzon, diversity biologist for the state Game Commission, helped track the number of bears as they came in to be weighed at the Trout Run fire hall.
By 4 p.m., more than two dozen bears had been taken there by hunters, but more trucks loaded down with dead bruins were lined up outside the fire station.
That compared favorably to opening day 2007, he said.
"It was pretty slow last year due to the rain."
He said the first bear came in at about 11:45 a.m., shortly after the check station opened.
According to commission figures, the Trout Run site reported 49 bears harvested for the entire first day last year. Overall, 82 bears were taken to the site in 2007.
Over the past decade, 2005 shaped up as the best opening day with 103 bears harvested. Overall, 147 bears were received at the check station that season.
Traditionally, the most bears are harvested in Lycoming and Clinton counties.
As usual, the fire hall drew a small crowd of curious people eager to gawk at the bears as officials weighed and recorded them.
Among the first to arrive were Jim and Joyce Morgan of Williamsport.
"About 3 o'clock, this place will be a madhouse," said Jim, camera ready to snap shots of the different bears.
"It's not bad now," agreed Joyce.
Jim said he'll send photos over the Internet to some Navy buddies from out of state.
"They just get so excited about this. It's hard to believe."
Jeannette Hoffman of Trout Run took her 4-year-old son, Rocky, to watch the deer arrive.
"I just picked him up from school," she said. "We come over every year."
Among the more interesting sites was a cinnamon bear shot by Jeff Troop of Columbia, Lancaster County.
Troop said he shot his cinnamon bear, so named for its lush brown coat, near Canton.
"One year we had, I think, 11 cinnamon bears," said Tom Smith, land management group supervisor for the commission.
As of late afternoon, Smith said it appeared to be a pretty decent harvest for the first day.
"They are coming in steady," he said.
Dilon Myers of Mechanicsburg shot a 150-pound black bear south of Wellsboro.
"This is my first one," he said, shortly after checking in at the Trout Run weigh station.
Myers said it was the only bear taken at his hunting camp.
It took Vincent Zilinski 50 years since he began hunting at the age of 12 to shoot his first bear.
Zilinski, 62, killed the 322-pound bear with two shots while it was walking about noon not far from his hunting camp near Liberty.
"It was really an experience for me," he said. "I was in Vietnam but this was more exciting than when I was shot at."
Game Commission officials at the North Central office in Jersey Shore were not available to report overall bear kill numbers early Monday night.

Skip to comments.Calif. to require schools to have bathrooms, locker rooms for transgender students
Posted on 06/12/2013 8:16:29 AM PDT by Zakeet
Schools in the state of California will soon be required to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their preference.
A bill being discussed in the state senate would mandate that schools have bathrooms and locker rooms that are fully equipped for transgender students, as well as requiring the schools to allow transgender students to take part in sports and other activities of the gender of their choosing.
Assembly Bill 1266 is aimed at prohibiting discrimination against transgender students in the states school districts, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the bills sponsor, told The Christian Post.
The bill, which the state assembly passed last month, is expected to pass in the Democratic state senate and be signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown.
Supporters of the bill believe that it will help end discrimination against transgender students.
Its about ensuring transgender students, just like all students, have a fair chance to be themselves and succeed at school, Melissa Goodman, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, told the Los Angeles Times.
Among those opposing the legislation is the California Catholic Conference, who said that the bill is extraneous because laws preventing discrimination against transgender students are already in place in California.
Our legislature tends to get involved in things that are better handled in local school districts, said Carol Hogan, a spokeswoman for the conference, told the Los Angeles Times. One size does not fit all.
Similar policies are already in place in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Last year, Massachusetts passed similar legislation, making it the first state in the country to mandate nondiscrimination policies in school based on gender identity. On Tuesday schools in Multinomah County, Oregon were also required to begin using gender-neutral bathrooms.
That's taxpayer money well spent by a broke state in order to keep us from feeling too out of place until we decide what we want to be!
This may come as a shock to that state, but there are only two sexes. Look it up.
Lottsa fun for the boys in the girls bathroom now.
Society continues it's downward spiral.
Sounds like a lot more girlie boys are just going to get the cr*p beat out of them in gym class and on the sports arena.
Yes, and the boys can take the girls' gym classes! Think how much better they will be at most of the sports! That will be good for their self-esteems, right? Isn't that the goal of education? (/s)
God help the kids.
Not in California. There area at least 15 or 16 there.
They had better triple the size of the girls shower room.
They can label the three different restrooms and showers:
Oh, no, let's not have special schools to handle students who do not fit the standard description; every school should have the ability to host any disability..
4.3 billion dollars later, this disaster continues. And just as was declared at the time, as soon as accommodation starts taking place in schools, it will never end. And guess what? It will never end until the people say no mas.
Like in Maryland CA Republicans cant stop bills or pass them but they should make sure that this bill requires urinals in ladies rooms.
That should wake up the compassionate CA lib ladies.
Why just schools? How about all public places, businesses, homes, ?
I think the headline is misleading. It implies there will be "separate but equal" facilities for trans. But the article says they can use the facility of their choosing. In which case why separate girls' gym and sports from boys'? (We know why). Next will they demand trannies in the NFL or Olympics? It's only "fair."
Kommiefornia's been a sewer for a long time.
Here in MA schools if one of these freaks "feels" like being a girl for a day, "it" is allowed to use the girls bathroom and any normal girl who complains will be punished.
If you live in CA or Illinois, you need to get the hell out.
I stated this a couple weeks ago lol!
can someone tell me the difference between a "trans-gendered" person and a transvestite?
next up...
State zoining legislation is being considered by Democrats for next session that all homes and apartments containing familys of four or more must have full facility bathrooms for both sexes.
They now have their foot in the door. There is no stopping them from expanding the regulation to cover everything everywhere. Welcome to the asylum.
So there are men interested in women, men interested in men,
men interested in men and women, women interested in men, women interested in women, women interested in men and women, men who chopped their schmekel off and are interested in women, men who chopped their schmekel off and are interested in men, men who chopped their schmekel off and are interested in men and women, women who found and grafted a used schmekel and are interested in men, women who found and grafted a used schmekel and are interested in women, women who found and grafted a used schmekel and are interested in men and women. (Did I miss anybody?)
Logically, there has to be a separate bathroom for each one of these.
Transvestites only wear the clothing of the opposite sex. Transgenders usually take hormones and have surgery to try to make their bodies like the other sex.
Looking for the "satire" keyword, went away disappointed.
As CA goes, so goes the nation.
This will be coming to a blue state near you.
The acceleration of the USA into a God-less toilet continues, and, one day soon, there WILL be a dear, dear price to pay.
The secular progressive march to doom continues.
This will not end well. It never does.
Thank God my older sons are out of school, and my youngest son is in a private Christian school. I fear for my grandsons, however.
Fully supported by plumbers and sign makers everywhere!
A punk bank will put a song entitled: "Smoking in the trans-gendered bathroom."
Well that's not fair! The LGBTQ will not put up with this!
What about separate bathrooms for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Queer students?
Was there a study, or is this just ignorant thinking?
They won't be with other transgender people, They get to choose whichever bathroom they want to use.
There won't be new bathrooms for transgenders.
Since medical records are protected, the school probably can't get any proof of the sex change, so they most likely will just be allowed to use either bathroom.
I believe the Olympics already do. I'm pretty sure that in international fencing competitions sugically-created "females" are allowed to compete against actual females in the women's divisions.
Of course surgically-created "males" can compete with the actual males in the men's divisions, too, but...well...they'd never win.
USA Fencing states that it goes by International Olympic rules.
(And no, the real women are NOT happy about it, though they are afraid to say anything.)
I think the transgenders should be using the faculty restroom. That will enhance the "self-esteem" of the transgendered kids, and will save the cost of building more restrooms. (It would also protect the normal kids from the weirdos, but that is not the "spin" you want to use in CA.)
Ammiano again.
When is he term limited out?
All males should start dressing in full burqas and declare that they want to be identified as Islamic-lesbians who demand the use of female restrooms/lockers/showers.
No they will change to rules to be more powderpuff type games.
I can't wait for the first "confused" boy that drops a deuce in the girls restroom.
Wasn't there a school built in NYC 4-5 years ago specifically for gays?
Yep, found it. Harvey Milk High School http://www.wnd.com/2003/07/19991/
But, noooo. We have to allow boys into the girls showers - Here, let me help you with that soap. What's Whoopie going to say about those rapes?
The schools have a copy of their BC when they registered for K or 1st grade. There's a blank with F or M filled in countless times on their record. If a student went by Lance last year but by Lacy this year, then something is up.
Sure, but Lance could just say SHe is Lucy now and use the girls bathroom...
What about the vegisexuals?
Who will guarantee the rights of the vegisexuals?
For shame.
How many transgendered pupils does a typical high school have at any one time?
I tried several searches on the internet to find out the percentage of transgendered people in the general population. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta did a study a few years ago that showed the percentage of homosexuals was about 2-3%. True transgendered would be a fraction of that.
One European study showed 1 in 37,000. Another study cited in the New York times found 1 in 500. Truly, no one know the exact number, but it must be very small.
Therefore, maintaining separate but equal facilities for this tiny, but vocal, minority will probably be very expensive. Can you imagine the cost of building a separate bathroom in a school that may not have a single transgendered student? Is this a realistic solution to a suspect problem?
Liberals love to feel good about themselves without regard to the costs to folks who might not agree with their profigate spending.
Yep what could possibly go wrong with this policy.

Bardot Proviant Klub
Temporary seal restaurant for Greenland exhibition
Saturday January 16th the Bardot Proviant Klub, an exhibition about the changing environment and traditions in Greenland curated by Anya van Lit (photographer) and Joost Bottema (author), was opened at Mediamatic. Striking element in the exhibition is the Proviant-Klub-Room, a dining room where members of the Proviant Klub can eat seal meat.
Inspried by "Kaffee-Mik", the dining ritual of the Inuit where everyone eats together, DUS designed a room with a colossal table measuring 20 m2. The walls of the room are shaped by one continuous sofa, made out of recycled pressed styrofoam blocks, which allows for all members to share the same table.
The exhibition and Klub will be open for public until February 28th. More information go to www.mediamatic.net

So, to put the title of this post into perspective, there is a story told by Steven Covey about making priorities in your life. If you haven't heard about the "Big Rocks in Life", You can read it here. It's worth a look.
Work has been a bear since last September, and add in the holiday stress, New Year's annual tax and paperwork travail, and I've been feeling a bit blue lately.
This week and last, I did something I have not had time to do in quite a long time. A sew meet with my girlfriends. Even though I was tired, and lots on my mind, like shaping my children to be productive and pleasant citizens of society, and world peace, I went anyway tonight.
We chatted, made each other laugh, embarrassed whatever children were present. And there is just something in that mix of nonsense that releases some endorphins or something. I am still stressed about work, but a little less so. I am still worried about the state of the world, but a little less so. Still wishing I didn't have decades ahead of me of working, striving, saving, etc., but a little less so.
Time with friends is one of the Big Rocks in my life. I'm going to try harder not to let the sand take up all the space.

The Randolph
The Macdonald Randolph. And is that Morse's Jaguar with a respray?
No British hotel is quite so bound up with its home town as the Randolph (which we are now supposed to call the Macdonald Randolph since it fell under ownership of the Scottish hotel group).
You could blame this on Inspector Morse (an episode of the iconic ITV series was filmed here and Morse's creator, Colin Dexter, is a regular in the Morse Bar).However, the hotel was famous long before TV became the norm - it was a favourite for decades with Oxford's flamboyant academics.
Built in 1864, this resolutely old-fashioned establishment confers a pleasing sense of the Gothic. This is best seen in its magnificent staircase and the high-ceilinged dining room which serves fine lunches with an elegance befitting its two AA rosettes. But the great and the good of Oxford mostly take tea in the Drawing Room, sometimes with a glass of Möet, or huddle over donnish gossip in the wood-panelled Morse Bar.
Rooms are a little lacking in pzazz, though many have nice Savoy-style art deco bathrooms, and there are contemporary, if bland, decor options for guests who loathe dark period furniture. In-room DVD players on request are a welcome innovation.
The spa, buried in the basement, is a bit of an afterthought - but for all that, the Randolph is the place to stay in Oxford, and perfectly placed for the city's best attraction, the magnificent Ashmolean, which is opposite. Given a shortage of town parking, it is worth knowing the hotel has its own garage.

Airbnb Fights City Hall Over San Francisco Registration Rule
July 8, 2016
Airbnb recently filed suit against San Francisco over a new rule governing short-term rentals, which the city's Board of Supervisors approved last month. An Airbnb-supported law adopted earlier this year requires short-term rental hosts to register with the city, but it's estimated that only about 20 percent of them have done so. The new rule requires services like Airbnb to enforce the law.
Leveraging IoT to Redefine Your Business
July 8, 2016
While most businesses are focusing their Internet of Things efforts on areas that will generate immediate cost-savings and operating efficiencies, a number of IoT pioneers already are leveraging a new generation of connected products to fundamentally change their business models.

What If We've Got Big Data and Analytics All Wrong?
July 4, 2016
Every once in a while I run into a little company that comes at an existing market as if the folks already in it are idiots -- and sometimes they are right. Here's the thing: What often happens is a company breaks out in a segment, and everyone groups around that company's ideas and emulates them. Few initially stand up and say, "Wait a minute -- what if they're wrong?"

The Internet of Medical Things, Part 1: A New Concept in Healthcare
June 30, 2016
Manufacturers are eager to lay the bricks and help pave the road to better, more personalized healthcare through integration of connected devices in the new Internet of Medical Things. Compared to other industries, healthcare has been "inherently conservative and slow" to embrace innovations such as the cloud and the Internet of Things -- but that's changing.
The 4 Fundamental Attributes of Customer Loyalty, Part 1
June 29, 2016
As I see it, there are four basic capabilities, or attributes, needed to build better customer loyalty. I learned about them from two McKinsey researchers. Those attributes, according to David C. Edelman and Marc Singer -- and I agree -- are the following: automation, proactive personalization, contextual interaction and journey mapping.
Amazon Pushes Dash Buttons as Customers Give Them the Gong
June 29, 2016
Amazon on Tuesday announced a wide expansion of its Dash Button on-touch retail sales program, despite indications of relatively low acceptance among its key base of Prime customers. The company added more than 50 retail products to its lineup of Dash thumb-drive size buttons, which let consumers reorder things like detergent and toilet tissue when their supply is getting low.
Gun Control and Learning to Make Data-Driven Decisions
June 27, 2016
We live in an unprecedented age of information and computing power -- yet whether publicly or privately, we still make decisions largely on how we feel rather than based on hard information. With this massive influx of data and computing power, when it comes to issues like global warming or gun control, we are more likely to decide based on how we feel rather than figuring out the facts.
Social's Turning Point
June 24, 2016
Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn for more than $26 billion has created quite a stir -- at least in my world. The deal can boast a number of superlatives: the largest sale of a consumer Internet company in history; the largest sale of an enterprise software/cloud company in history; the third-largest sale of a technology company since 2001; and the largest Microsoft acquisition ever.
Rethinking the Customer Journey Map
June 22, 2016
If you talk to marketers for any amount of time about what they do, you are bound to hear the term "customer journey" at some point. The go-to exercise for marketers looking to up their lead generation games today is "journey mapping," the exercise by which you try to understand how a potential buyer navigates through content and other offers on the way to a closed deal.
Amazon's Bold Indian Strategy
June 20, 2016
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos recently announced an expansion of the company's investment in India to the tune of $3 billion -- that was in addition to the $2 billion in investments it announced in 2014.

FCC Wins Huge Net Neutrality Victory Over Big Telecom
June 14, 2016
An appellate court on Tuesday handed a major victory to the FCC by upholding the Open Internet Order, which ensures equal access to the Internet.

Twitter Users Snared in Dark Web's Brisk Password Trade
June 10, 2016
Data stolen from more than 32 million Twitter users has been offered for sale on the dark web for 10 bitcoin, or around $5,800, LeakedSource reported Wednesday.

The Marginal Customer
June 10, 2016
I start a lot of client engagements with a simple question: Who's the customer? It's amazing the answers that I get. Some people know the customer's demographic and business or personal needs, and they focus on those things. Others don't even grasp the difference between a customer and a consumer. You might expect this if you are working in the B2C rather than B2B space.
Yahoo to Have Giant Patent Garage Sale
June 9, 2016
Yahoo reportedly has notified potential buyers that it plans to auction off about 3,000 patents and will be accepting bids until mid-June.

June 7, 2016
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Google's appeal of a lower court ruling in a suit alleging the company used deceptive practices in the sale and placement of advertising through its AdWords program between 2004 and 2008.

Report: Smartphone Ad Blockers Picking Up Steam
June 1, 2016
At least 419 million people around the world are blocking advertising on their smartphones, according to a report PageFair released Tuesday. Most of those people -- 408 million of them -- are using ad-blocking browsers, notes the report. The use of ad blockers doubled in 2015, and the use of mobile ad-blocking browsers increased 90 percent during the same year.
The Traction Gap
May 26, 2016
My friend and a partner at Wildcat Venture Partners, Bruce Cleveland, along with his associates, has come up with an idea that helps explain why some early-stage companies thrive and thus raise more capital, while others die on the vine. As a venture capitalist, he is always trying to figure this out, trying to determine who gets another round of funding and who doesn't.
Oculus Riles Users Over Piracy Block That Fails Anyway
May 25, 2016
It took a hacker just a day to come up with a workaround for the platform update Oculus released last week, which blocked users from running the company's games on rival virtual reality systems. Version 1.4 of the Oculus App blocked a hack from LibreVR called "Revive" that allowed users to play Oculus games on rival systems, including the HTC Vive and Valve.
Yahoo Bids Could Seriously Underwhelm
May 24, 2016
Bids for Yahoo's core assets were expected to come in at between $2 billion and $3 billion, far below prior estimates that it could fetch $4 billion to $8 billion at auction, according to a news report published last week. Verizon, which remains the leading candidate for Yahoo's assets, and other contenders met with CEO Marissa Mayer at the company's Sunnyvale, California, headquarters
Deeper Connections
May 23, 2016
Salesforce held its Connections 2016 user event in Atlanta earlier this month. About 7,000 people attended, but in the Georgia World Congress Center and airplane hangar, attendance seemed smallish. Attendance might have been held down by Gov. Nathan Deal's slow response to vetoing a religious freedom law largely seen as discriminating against the LGBT community.
Google Challenges Right to Be Forgotten in French High Court
May 20, 2016
Google on Thursday filed an appeal with France's supreme administrative court over an order from a privacy regulator requiring it to scrub certain search results around the world under a law called "the right to be forgotten." The March order from the CNIL requires Google and other search engines to delist the information of Europeans that shows up in searches for their name.
Tweets May Soon Breeze Past 140-Character Limit
May 19, 2016
In an effort to better monetize its platform and boost user traffic, Twitter may relax the 140-character limit on individual tweets by no longer counting photos and Web links. The tweak could take place within two weeks, according to a report that cited an unnamed source who asked for anonymity because the decision had not yet been made public. CEO Jack Dorsey hinted at the move earlier this year.
Microsoft, SAP Deepen Partnership to Blend Cloud Offerings
May 18, 2016

Marketing and Loyalty
May 17, 2016
The CRM industry is shining a bright light on digital marketing, and it is a sign of how early we are in the digital marketing boom that few vendors are championing the idea of using marketing in any way other than for driving sales. Based on recent events by Oracle and Salesforce, it appears that the focus on driving more sales makes perfect sense for organizations just getting their feet wet.

The Fallon football team rolled to another impressive victory Friday at the Edward Arciniega Complex.
The Greenwave drummed rival Fernley, 49-6, on Homecoming night to improve to 7-0 in the Northern Division I-A. The Vaqueros fall to 5-2 and sits in fourth place after wins by Elko (6-1) and Lowry (6-1 Northern DI-A, 7-1 overall).
Fernley, playing without starting quarterback Skylar Williams, struck first when backup QB Kevin Montgomery hit Anfernee Sloan for a 33-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Montgomery was stuffed on the 2-point conversion.
Fallon, though, rebound and struck pay dirt when quarterback Morgan Dirickson hit Cameron Matzen for a 21-yard TD pass. The Wave took a 14-7 lead on a 1-yard run by Trent Tarner with 8:37 left in the second quarter.
Matzen, though, turned the tide for good with a 67-yard punt return for a TD with 6:29 left.
Dirickson, meanwhile, tossed three TD passes in the third quarter, and backup quarterback Joe Pyle rumbled in from 10 yards for the final score in the fourth fourth quarter.
Dirickson completed 12 of 18 passes for 266 yards and four touchdowns. Tyler Bagby had four catches for 101 yards and a TD, while Matzen added two receptions for 100 yards including a 64-yard TD catch. Tarner added 49 yards rushing.
Montgomery connected on 7 of 14 passes for 99 yards and a TD. Erik Wilson led the Vaqueros with 44 yards rushing, while Tyler Mathena had a team-high three catches for 45 yards.
Fallon visits Truckee at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 26, while Fernley hosts Lowry at 7 p.m. Thursday.

What: One of the most common pine trees in western North America.
Where: The three-needled Rocky Mountain ponderosa dominates in the forests of northern and eastern Arizona. The forest from roughly Flagstaff southeast along the Mogollon Rim into the White Mountains is the largest contiguous ponderosa stand on the continent. Ponderosa pines grow in greatest numbers above about 6,000 feet elevation up to about 8,000 feet in elevation. Ponderosa pines can live as long as 300 to 600 years and trees as old as 700 years have been found in Arizona.
Fire tolerance: The trees require adequate moisture to continue growing and regenerating, but are also drought-tolerant and adapted to low-intensity fire.
How many: Statewide, ponderosas cover more than 4 million acres.
Why we care: The pine forests are home to mule deer, elk, a range of rodents and birds, including the Mexican spotted owl and the goshawk. The tassel-eared Abert's squirrel lives almost its entire life in the pines, nesting in the trees, using them for shelter and food and leaping from one to another in a relatively small radius. Pines help protect the watersheds that supply Phoenix with water. They are the tree most people associate with the high country and provide a unique contrast to the state's other well-known symbol, the cactus.
What: There are 32 piñon pine varieties and 23 juniper varieties, but the Colorado piñon and the Utah juniper are among the most widespread in Arizona. Alligator junipers are also common in Arizona.
Where: Piñon pines and junipers grow in woodlands from about 5,000 feet in elevation up to about 7,000 feet. Piñons are more often found in greater number at higher elevations; junipers at lower elevations.
Fire tolerance: Like other woodlands in Arizona, piñon and juniper stands have grown denser with increased fire suppression, which has created a greater threat of large wildfires.
How many: Piñon-juniper woodlands cover about 9.6 million acres in Arizona and have spread into higher elevations, among ponderosa pines, especially after fires.
Why we care: The woodlands provide habitat for an array of native species and help protect the state's watersheds. They offer a vibrant backdrop for campers and hikers.
What: The forests are populated by ponderosa pines, white pines, firs, spruce, and aspens.
Where: Mixed conifer forests occur at higher elevations, from about 8,000 feet to 10,000 feet, where there is more rain and snow.
Fire tolerance: Historically, mixed conifer forests were adapted to wildfire, but as forests have grown denser, fires turn more intense and are more difficult to fight. Some fir trees are more vulnerable to fires, while aspens tend to recover quickly from a severe fire and can replace pine trees.
How many: Mixed conifers cover about 472,000 acres in Arizona.
Why we care: The mixed confier forests offer some of the most diverse landscapes in Arizona's high country, with the different species of pine and the aspens. That helps increase the number of wildlife species and sustains a more vibrant ecosystem.

HONOLULU - U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono focused on Linda Lingle's ties to Republicans in a televised U.S. Senate debate Tuesday night, linking the former Hawaii governor to Mitt Romney and other GOP figures whenever given the chance.
Lingle retorted by saying she's a leader and not a follower, while Democrat Hirono needs to focus on Lingle's party because she is unable to stand on her own.
"Her entire campaign has been built on the record of others," Lingle said.
Hirono said a Lingle win in the race to replace U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, who is retiring, would put the GOP one vote closer to winning majority power in the Senate.
GOP power in the Senate would make U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye lose his position as chairman of its Appropriations Committee.
"Make no mistake about it, that is the Republicans' plan in supporting Linda Lingle," she said.
Both candidates were quick to attack one another in a prime-time debate that covered similar ground as two previous general election showdowns in terms of issues. The debate aired on KITV-TV and was co-sponsored by Hawaii news website Civil Beat.
Given two opportunities to ask Lingle questions, Hirono first asked Lingle why she was supporting Romney over Obama, then asked why Lingle supported former President George W. Bush as the nation's greatest president.
Lingle said she'd be far from a rubber stamp for the national GOP and challenged Hirono to cite where she had called Bush the greatest president.
Lingle sought to tie Hirono to a Congress with dismal national approval ratings, asking Hirono why she missed twice as many votes as the average lawmaker.
Hirono responded by saying that she has voted more than 5,000 times and missed only 5 percent of her votes. She said Lingle missed time as governor in 2008 to campaign for then-presidential candidate John McCain.
Of Hirono's voting record, Lingle said: "If a student missed that many days of school, they'd probably be held back a year."
Lingle has been running on the pitch that she's a Republican with more moderate values, and that Hawaii needs one Democrat and one Republican in the Senate.
Hawaii's voters lean heavily Democratic and are expected to strongly back Obama, who was born in Honolulu, in the presidential race. Hawaii carries four electoral votes in the presidential race.
Hirono argued that she'd be the stronger ally for Obama and Hawaii's values, with Lingle in line with the national GOP.
Hirono lost an election to Lingle in 2002, when both were running for governor. Lingle went on to serve two terms.
Asked what was different now, Hirono said: "Times have changed in 10 years. We now have my Republican opponent with a record, and she has a mixed record."

The Pills
(617) 351-2591
P.O. Box 15522 Kenmore Station
Boston, MA 02215
Unlike many other popular beat groups from Boston, The Pills are not, in fact, popular. They are, nevertheless, a beat group from Boston, and bless their cotton socks, some day they
be popular!
The Pills are a new band founded by bassist/vocalist Corin Ashley (formerly of Atlas Shrugged) and David Thompson (ex-BeBe Gallini singer/guitarist). Upon demise of their former bands, the two of them got together over drinks and spoke of their desire to play a different kind of pop. A faster and louder kind of pop. They drank to their new found success only to realize that they would need other musicians.
Serendipitiously (ahem) they found chance guitarist Cory "Clyde" Harding emerging from a dumpster behind The Rat. Immediately the three of them proceeded to make much noise and leap about with wild abdomen. Again, though, the sinking realization that a drummer would be vital to complete the band. After much searching they discovered that one was already there in the person of John "Don't call me boy" Walton. He was welcomed with open sores.
The Pills music is an up-tempo melange of diverse influenza. Strains of The Kinks, XTC, The English Beat, Velvet Crush, and The Small Faces waft in between random snippets of guitar esoterica. The Pills have been garnering rave reviews for their sound and sharing stages with friends and contemporaries like The Figgs, Tracy Bonham, Letter to Cleo, The Fleshtones, and pop legend Tommy Keene. The Pills currently appear on the
Newbury Comics
compilation CD of Boston's finest bands entitled "Wicked Deluxe." The band has also been chosen as a finalist in
Musician Magazine's
"Best unsigned band contest."
The Pills will be appearing soon at a dive near you!
The lively power pop of the first tune belies their name-it's like White Music-era XTC crossed with More Songs-era Talking Heads with a dollop of Dickies thrown in for seasoning. "Hobby Horse" wouldn't sound bad next to The only Ones or Sister Lovers or "(Please) Go All the Way" by Eric Carmen & The Raspberries, or even "Wendy" by Tandyn Aylmer's pals The Association. It's a song Elvis Costello should have written byut didn't . . . The refrain to "Hobby Horse" is a stroke of pop genius, and for that reason alone I'm forced to designate this as my pick for tape of the month.
-- The Noise, Nov. '95
The Pills show place #1 in the Top 20 favorite songs and tapes for 1995.
The Noise, Feb. '96
The Pills win "Song of the Month" for May '96.
The Noise, May '96
3-Song Demo
Recorded at Zippah Studios, Brookline, MA, by Pete Weiss
The Pills have been getting quite a number of raves in the local press lately and after listening to "The Pills", I can see why. This new band features ex-members of Atlas Shrugged and BeBe Galani, Very Very hi-energy, a big influence and an even bigger euro-post punk thing going on. All three songs here, "All That Way", "Molly", and "Hobby Horse", are winners. Great Production and guitar sounds courtesy of Pete Weiss over at Zippah. I also hear that these "beat" guys put on a really energetic live show.
-- Northeast Performer, The Independent Musicians Resource Guide
The Pills
were called the Penny Dreadfuls until a couple of weeks ago, when another set of Penny Dreadfuls threatened to have their lawyer beat these guys up. They're descended from Atlas Shrugged, a polished pop band who deserved more local attention than they got. The Pills' sound is more new-wave-ish, meaning a little goofier and more hyper. The opener "All That Way" sets smooth harmonies against a fast, almost-ska shythm and an original take on girlfriend-awareness: "I got a pebble in my shoe/I'd take it out but it reminds me of you/Small and kinda perfect, I'm digging it with every step." That friends, is a clever metaphor. I get the impression htat the band thoroughly enjoyed making this tape - from the goofy shouts at the end of "Molly" to the way they can't slow down even when playing a ballad. I enjoyed it too.

Dear respected patrons and well-wishers of Assisi English Medium School,
We live in an independent and composite world that is changing at an exceptional Pace, preparing our children in this defying environment. Indeed, it requires a special effort that can turn learning into a life long journey of enquiry and discovery, resulting in knowledge that forms the base of growth and development as in the era of knowledge and skill-based competition.
Children are the future makers of the nation. They must be shaped in such a way that the society may trust them. School is the place where basic learnings are imparted to students. Assisi English Medium school give great importance for inculcating students to develop their, physical, mental and spiritual dimension of personality. The school of the firm opinion that, a sound, moral, cultural and physical training is important as academic and scholastic instruction in preparing students for their role in life. Hence much importance is attributed to games, sports and physical education.
School is not merely a building, furniture and staffs but it the students who complete the existence of school. Teachers are the most influential people in the lives of young children whatever teaching they give to their students they follow them. So I want to make an appeal to respectable fraternity of academic staff that never let down the honor shown to us by the society to lead the nation by making your students a honorable citizen of the country.
We wish bright future to all our students.
May God bless you all with peace and prosperity and reward your noble actions with unending bliss.
Warm regards.

September 28, 2011
On the 29th of September each year, we celebrate the creation of one of America's most iconic organizations — the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. The VFW has a long and proud history of serving and protecting America's veterans, service members and their families, as well as being stalwart defenders of the U.S. Constitution and of a strong national defense. Now, more than any time in our history, a strong VFW is instrumental in keeping our military and our nation strong.
Through every war and conflict in the 20th and 21st centuries, the VFW has led the way to promote strong military and veterans' legislation. As in the past, today, the VFW advocates and supports those deployed to operations in locations around the world while still maintaining vigilance and representation for multiple generations of veterans and for thousands of service members stateside.
VFW and its Auxiliary members are making a remarkable difference at a critical time in our country's history. Our accomplishments are significant and many, from helping to create the Department of Veterans Affairs, the World War II GI Bill, and Agent Orange and Gulf War Syndrome legislation, to leading the way on traumatic injury disability insurance and a new 21st Century GI Bill.
The VFW has recorded 112 years of unwavering commitment and extraordinary service to our nation. It's an amazing record we are justifiably proud to lay claim to. Our distinguished history of service will always serve as inspiration and as a guide for the future as we remain always steadfast in doing all that we can to improve the quality of life for today's service members, veterans and their families.
God bless our troops and our veterans, and God bless America.

Inspired by the story of the Bondurant brothers, the film follows the duo played by LaBeouf and Hardy as they establish both wealth and enemies from their dealings with bootlegging alcohol during the Depression-era period. The sibling's adversaries comes in the form of both the law authority (played by Guy Pearce) and a gangster (played by Gary Oldman) who is aiming to control the Bondurant's supply of alcohol and take a cut of their profits. The film is, as of now, slated to arrive on August 31. Meanwhile, the over two-minute trailer offers a look into the action-packed crime drama.

The town has started an internal review of all part-time employees for possible misuse of sick leave after a Jersey Journal story that revealed the town's plumbing inspector was paid for sick days he used while working in a similar position in other municipalities, a spokesman for the town said.
Pablo Fonseca said the town is going through all the contracts of part-time employees to halt the practice of working elsewhere after calling in sick to West New York.
The Jersey Journal reported earlier this week that the town's plumbing sub-code official and inspector Frank Recanati worked in other municipalities during the majority of the 33 sick days he took in 2010 and 2011. Recanati collected roughly $5,450 in sick time for the 33 days based on a calculation of his annual salary in West New York.
"We're checking the policy on this and making sure it doesn't continue," he said. "We want to avoid this in the future."
Fonseca said no action would be taken against Recanati, 47, nor would any attempt be made to recoup the money he was paid for the sick days.
Recanati, who has worked for the town since 1995, could not be reached for comment.
Last year, Recanati earned $131,455 from the six municipalities, with roughly $43,000 coming from West New York.
Recanati earned $147,916 in 2010, and was paid $42,976 by West New York, according to public records.
He also works as the plumbing sub-code official in Guttenberg in Hudson County, and Carlstadt, East Rutherford, Wallington and Hasbrouck Heights in Bergen County. He is also the construction official in Carlstadt.

Volunteers made camp 'Extreme Fun'
This past week, July 15-19, over 150 children, from preschool to teenagers, participated in Camp Fire's Hans Jensen Day Camp in Issaquah.
The camp serves families primarily from Issaquah, North Bend, Snoqualmie, Carnation, Bellevue, Woodinville, and Redmond.
It was an outstanding week with lots of smiles and giggles and silly stuff. After all, that's what camp is all about for kids!
Eighty-some volunteers--counselors, junior staff, specialists, and guests--made this happen for those children. They shared hours and hours of their time to help create some special memories and made a difference for the youngsters they were involved with for the week.
Special recognition and appreciation goes to Site Directors Kim Nichols and Sandy Hayes, and camp registrar Caroline Jorstad for their outstanding organization and commitment to the children and volunteer staff. These three women spent nearly a year creating the "glue" that cemented the week together and made sure that the theme "Extreme Fun" was carried out in every possible way.
Thank you to everyone for your dedication and commitment to our children.

What is in this article?:
- Drought slows dairy production as feed costs rise
- Drought will slow milk production in 2H
- Lessons from the past
- The resulting heat stress from the U.S. drought and the escalation of feed costs will reduce milk production growth.
- While California has been hot and dry, as usual at this time of year, ample supply of irrigation water has limited direct impacts on dairy producers to date.
More About:
Weather in the United States has been unusually warm since the beginning of 2012. A mild winter was followed by a warm spring and an extremely hot and dry summer. The temperature was 4.5˚F above average (2.5˚C) for the January to July period.
The drought is widespread and in many regions severe. Rainfall ceased almost completely in early June in numerous regions, and it has been very hot and dry since. The temperature in the Midwest was above 100˚F (37.8˚C) for 15 straight days from early July: it normally only pierces that level a few days a year. Sixty-four percent of the US is now in mild or severe drought, making this the most widespread drought since 1956. Forty-six percent of the US is in severe drought. The near-term weather outlook (two weeks from 27 July) suggests only modest relief.
While widespread, not all regions are experiencing drought, and the severity of conditions varies by region. The region worst hit is the corn and soybean cropping belt in the Midwest. Of the dairy regions, the Midwest and Southwest are the worst impacted. However, some important dairy states (including Washington, Idaho and parts of the Northeast) have so far escaped the heat. And while California has been hot and dry, as usual at this time of year, ample supply of irrigation water has limited direct impacts on dairy producers to date.
Drought hit as US milk supply growth was already losing momentum
The wave of growth in US milk supply seen in early 2012 was already losing momentum before the drought hit, driven by several factors. Falling milk prices and high feed costs had pushed most producers who were not hedged or vertically integrated into the red by February. Early in Q2, some processors in California had imposed quotas, in an effort to curtail the surge in milk supply in the face of capacity constraints. And the mild winter (a positive for yields) was followed by a warm spring (less positive).
These factors combined to impact both cow numbers and yields. Quotas and cashflow constraints encouraged culling in some regions. Deteriorating margins encouraged a switch to lower quality feeds, and together with less positive climatic conditions than evident in Q1, brought a significant decline in yield growth.
As a result, US milk production growth slowed from a vigorous 4.5 percent YOY in February (leap year adjusted) to a modest 0.9 percent in June. The slowdown was particularly marked in California. After growing 6.5 percent plus in the opening three months of the year (leap year adjusted), Californian milk production was basically flat on year-ago levels in June.
Even before the drought had developed, most forecasters, including Rabobank, had already been factoring in a further slowing of US production growth in 2H based on lower cow numbers and slowing yield growth in response to negative operational returns, high cull prices and a cash flow squeeze.

If Greenville bans texting while driving, more than half a million South Carolinians will live in municipalities with such laws.
But South Carolina is one of only three states without a statewide ban. The others are Arizona and Montana.
Just how much momentum will it take for the S.C. Legislature to get off the dime and act to make our roads safer?
As it stands now, at least 12 municipalities have their own laws, some more strict than others. Greenville's proposed law would ban the use of any hand-held device while driving. Charleston's law, adopted in October, bans texting but allows drivers to make and receive phone calls on hand-held devices.
Pity the poor driver whose route takes him cross-state. He is responsible for knowing that West Union has a texting ban, but Union does not, that texting is banned in unincorporated parts of Beaufort County but not in Allendale.
A smart driver would give up trying to keep it straight and simply lay down his cell phone and keep both hands on the wheel. Actually, any smart driver would refrain from text messaging, with or without a law requiring him to do so. But clearly that isn't going to happen when using cell phones while driving has become routine for many drivers - especially students.
And clearly, the need to address the situation is dire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association reported that, in 2011, 3,331 people died in crashes where drivers were distracted.
Among the South Carolina cities with texting bans are Columbia (population 129,272 in 2010) and West Union (population 291 in 2010).
In the Lowcountry, Mount Pleasant, Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, Charleston and Hardeeville have bans.
The General Assembly has not justified to the people of South Carolina why it has rejected proposal after proposal for a texting ban of some kind.
Some members have said a law would be too hard to enforce, but seatbelt laws are enforced.
Some have said that drivers have a right to use their cell phones. Actually, people have no right to drive, much less to use hand-held devices while behind the wheel. Driving is a privilege.
Some have tried to avoid the controversy altogether by joining with telecommunications companies to encourage drivers to voluntarily stop texting while driving. That's not a bad thing to do, but it falls far short of enacting a legal ban.
The state is eager to present itself as a place business owners and their families will want to move. Failing to adopt a simple ban on texting while driving sends the wrong message that their safety and the safety of their employees isn't important.
It's time for the Legislature to pass such a ban. No more excuses.

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils and growing conditions. Prefers consistent moisture, but has good drought resistance once established. Intolerant of wet soils.
Eastern red cedar is native from Nova Scotia to North Dakota south to Texas and Florida. In Misssouri, it is typically found on limestone bluffs and glades, wood margins, fields, pastures and fence rows throughout the state except for the southeastern lowlands (Steyermark). It is a broadly conical, sometimes columnar, dense, evergreen conifer with horizontal branching that typically grows to 30-65' tall. Leaves come in two sizes: scale-like (adult) and awl/needle-like (juvenile). Gray to reddish-brown bark exfoliates in thin shreddy strips on mature trees. 'Taylor' is an upright narrow columnar eastern red cedar that typically grows to 15-20' tall but to only 3-4' feet wide. Silvery blue-green foliage is attractive throughout the growing season. Foliage may take on some bronze tones in winter. Round, blue-purple, berry-like cones on female trees are often ornamental. Cones are attractive to many birds. 'Taylor' was reportedly discovered in Taylor, Nebraska as a chance seedling.
No serious insect or disease problems. Cedar apple rust is a common problem for many different junipers, but this cultivar has good resistance. Susceptible to twig blight and scale. Watch for bagworms. Mites may occur.
Narrow landscape accent/specimen. Flank entrances. Large screen. Windbreak.

It may seem silly to compare a serious songwriting group to a candy-sweet soft drink, but it's quite easy to link Grammy Award-nominated folk-country act The Avett Brothers to the cherry-accented beverage Cheerwine.
If you go
What: The Legendary Giveback II with The Avett Brothers
When: 8 p.m. Thursday
Where: North Charleston Coliseum, 5001 Coliseum Drive
Price: $33.50-$45.50
For more info: www.theavettbrothers.com, Cheerwine.com/giveback, www.NorthCharlestonColiseumPAC.com
On the web
For those who won't be able to attend, fans will be able to catch the show virtually by pledging hours of community service on the event's website, Cheerwine.com/giveback.
Both were born in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, just north of Charlotte. Both have earned intensely loyal fans over the years. Both are fiercely independent. And both retain an elegant sense of Southern charm with each step forward.
This week, The Avett Brothers, led by the core trio of siblings Scott Avett (vocals, banjo) and Seth Avett (vocals, guitar) with pal Bob Crawford (vocals, bass), return to the Lowcountry for a benefit show co-sponsored by Cheerwine as part of the Legendary Giveback concert series, an annual collaboration that brings fans together to raise funds and support for family-based charities.
Tom Barbitta, Cheerwine's senior vice president of marketing and sales, has been a driving force behind the Legendary Giveback project since it began in 2012.
"I first met Scott, Seth, David and their manager, Dolphus Ramseur, when I attended an art exhibit in Cheerwine's hometown of Salisbury a few years ago," Barbitta says. "I was more familiar with Scott's amazing artwork than the band's music at the time, but I fell in love with the band's music, and we got to know each other well.
"We often discussed ideas about giving back to that community," he explains. "We wanted to work together to something bigger than selling music or soft drinks. That's how the Legendary Giveback started. We moved our regular agendas aside, and we kept the attorneys and accountants away from it. We did it right and kept it real."
Cheerwine charm
Produced by the Carolina Beverage Corp. based in the small town of Salisbury, the cherry-accented Cheerwine soft drink has been a treasured treat in the Carolinas and around the Southeast since 1917.
"I feel like it's one of those fascinating things that should be in a museum," Barbitta says. "There's a great story to it. It's the little guy that lives in a world of giants, competing against giant brands. It's the little guy that everyone loves — an independent, family-owned company that doesn't answer to Wall Street. You can't make that stuff up."
Still owned and managed by the same founding family, Cheerwine has successfully pushed to expand production and distribution around the United States; its next big goal is to be available in all 50 states by its 100th anniversary in 2017.
Barbitta, a native of New York, joined Cheerwine in 2005 after working with various snack and beverage companies.
"I don't necessarily think of myself as a New Yorker, but my roots are still there," he says. "I think of myself as someone who's passionate, who believes deeply in what my company is doing."
One of the more clever charitable efforts Cheerwine has done recently has been to partner with The Avett Brothers on the Legendary Giveback concert series. The idea started last year, when they held a fundraiser show at the open-air Telos Wireless Pavilion in Charlottesville, Va., on Oct. 19.
The band's performance was live-streamed nationally to fans who pledged to volunteer their time and effort to a charity or community organization. The concert footage reached more than 11,000 fans from 17 different countries.
"The response from our fans last year was both humbling and gratifying," lead singer Scott Avett states in a recent press release. "And we're grateful that Cheerwine is committed to raising more funds for the families that this year's concert benefits."
Avett's Carolina story
Local fans have enjoyed watching The Avett Brothers develop as respectable songwriters and professional performers, graduating from small clubs to larger venues like the Music Farm in downtown Charleston, then making the jump to big rooms like the North Charleston Performing Arts Center and Coliseum.
The Avett Brothers formed in the 2000s in the town of Concord (near Salisbury, north of Charlotte), with Scott and Seth Avett joining forces in 2002 with stand-up bassist Bob Crawford. Initially, their original material drew heavily from folk-rock and country-pop acts like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, the Stanley Brothers and the Band. They worked elements of Carolina and Appalachian-style bluegrass and mountain music into the mix, too.
After a successful run with manager Dolphus Ramseur's indie Ramseur Records label, the band signed with American Recordings/Columbia in 2009 and released a well-produced major label debut titled "I and Love and You." The album reached at No. 16 on the Billboard Top 200 that year, launching them toward national fame and acclaim. Critics and fans praised the band's rustic, rootsy style and its homegrown authenticity.
More than 10 years into their recording career, The Avett Brothers are still firmly in control of their music and recordings. Last month, they released the 11-song collection "Magpie and the Dandelion," a sturdy follow-up to 2012's "The Carpenter." In-demand studio wiz Rick Rubin produced both albums.
"I've been listening to both 'The Carpenter' and 'Magpie and the Dandelion' this week," Barbitta tells Charleston Scene. "I love the diversity of the band, the musicians and their instrumentations. Their sound is very special. They write all of their music and do it all themselves. It's not like so many of the big acts out there on radio."
Charleston connection
In August, The Avett Brothers and Cheerwine announced that the Legendary Giveback II concert would take place Nov. 14 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
"It all started right from the heart," Barbitta says of the Legendary Giveback project. "It wasn't based on a marketing program. It was really just the value of the brand and the value of the band aligning."
Proceeds from the ticket sales for the first Legendary Giveback show in Virginia benefited several organizations that specifically addressed the needs of families, including Operation Homefront, specializing in military service members and their families; Big Brothers Big Sisters, the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network; and the University of Virginia Children's Hospital.
This year, the Legendary Giveback will feature the Children's Hospital at the Medical University of South Carolina as the primary beneficiary, as well as Operation Homefront and Big Brothers Big Sisters again receiving funds.
"We wanted it to be connected to family charities and children, so that's how we connected with Operation Homefront and Big Brothers Big Sisters," Barbitta says. "We always want to have a local charity, so this year, we're excited to be working with MUSC in Charleston in a large venue. I know they'll raise a lot of good money and support for these organizations.
"I really do think of The Avett Brothers as a kind of metaphor for Cheerwine: an independent band with Southern roots with an eclectic, diverse, loyal audience," Barbitta adds. "They don't sound like anyone else, and we don't taste like anyone else. It's a great fit, not just because they're a great band that makes great music, but because they transcend the same values of the Cheerwine brand."

Guests of God
Theological discussions of the relationship between Christianity and other religions have been at a steady simmer at least since the 1973 publication of John Hick's God and the Universe of Faiths. Throughout the 1970s and '80s, Hick's pluralism became the reigning orthodoxy as it was taken up by many others, including Paul Knitter and Wilfred Cantwell Smith. But by the early 1990s, that orthodoxy was severely crippled as postmodern theories penetrated the academy. The debate gained a new urgency with the events of 9/11.
