As a followup to 2003's Grammy® Award-winning Alegria, saxophonist-composer Wayne Shorter returns with another exhilarating live document that captures the risk-taking chemistry of his celebrated quartet on tour. Beyond the Sound Barrier continues the remarkable group-think and deconstructivist aesthetic that Shorter established with pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade on 2002's acclaimed Footprints Live!, Shorter's first all-acoustic foray since his early '60s Blue Note years.
Says the bandleader of his highly interactive unit consisting of pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade: "We're playing a similar outline in different cities, but we're getting further and further away from anything sounding the same from night to night. These guys all have that kind of forward-looking attitude. They understand that it's OK to be vulnerable, to open oneself and take chances, and not be afraid of the unknown. So if somebody feels like they want to bring something else to it, they do it. We don't have any mandates in this band. Our attitude is, 'Let's paint in watercolors, use good oils or get white out, if that's what you want to use.'"
In typical Shorter fashion, the conversational title track to Beyond the Sound Barrier carries a certain intellectual heft and sci-fi expansiveness to it. Likewise, "Adventures Aboard the Golden Mean" refers to that mysterious natural proportion used in art, architecture and music by the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Debussy, Bartok and Beethoven, but Shorter puts a sci-fi twist to it. "The golden mean is neither captive to the right, left, east, west, north, south or the middle," says Shorter. "It is attached to no extreme. That's a place to try to get to in terms of freedom of thought and choice and all that stuff. And I think it has nothing to do with an almighty power or nothing like that, but a place that we have inside us that's just asleep a little bit. And I'm thinking of it like a spaceship called the Golden Mean. I picture a lot of kids on there flying around, having a good time. And they're going somewhere along the Golden Mean."
The collection opens with an open-ended take on Arthur Penn's "Smilin' Through," which inveterate film buff Shorter dug up from the deeper recesses of his memory. As he explains, "That's an old Irish song that was used in a movie with Jeanette MacDonald and Brian Ahearn. At some point in the movie she's at the piano and she plays this song, 'Smilin' Through.' The message of the tune is, whenever a tragedy comes, can you smile through it? And that stuck with me." Shorter on soprano is pushed to some ecstatic heights on this tune by Blade's powerhouse traversing of the kit.
"As Far As The Eyes Can See" opens with a free-flowing four-way conversation with Shorter on tenor and gradually evolves into a remarkable example of group improv. The piece actually developed from a fragment that originally appeared in "Go" from the Footprints album. "It's like a tag that becomes a piece of music," says Shorter. "You only hear it one time (on 'Go'). There's only two measures and it stops, but this one takes on a whole other harmonic thing and it's more of an experience of the eye...how far are you willing to see? People who say they don't feel this
or that -- they don't feel classical or they don't feel country, or all they feel is country. all they want is the safety zone or comfort zone, what they can relate to and everything. Well, I say, if your feelings are only red, blue and yellow, how far can you extend yourself in a world that needs extending today?"
Felix Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song" is a piece that caught
The ethereal "Tinkerbell" is distinguished by a freewheeling conversation betwteen Perez's piano and Patitucci's bowed bass while the more turbulent "Joy Ryder" is anchored by Blade's muscular yet flexible backbeat and Patitucci's deep, minimalist groove. Shorter stretches out on soprano sax on this remake of the title track from his 1988
"Since I don't believe in the words 'beginning' or 'end,' then nothing is ever really finished," he says. "A tune may be put aside but in reality there are still things there that are worth investigating and developing. Gustav Mahler used to go back and look at stuff he had written when he was a kid. It was supposed to be finished but then he would incorporate it into other pieces, developing it in his adult years. Beethoven too, and Mozart. So it's a continuation."
Shorter dedicates Beyond the Sound Barrier to a list of people -- all explorers in their own way -- who didn't let their physical or social circumstances stop them from their missions: Dr. Vivien Thomas (pioneer in treatment of blue baby syndrome), Bess Colman (groundbreaking WWI aviator), Henrietta Brodkrany (submarine torpedo experimentation in her kitchen sink), Gary Morgan (inventor of the traffic signal and the gas mask), Nicolai Tesla (electricity and beyond), Dr. Linus Pauling (DNA pioneer), Dr. Stephen Hawking (quantum physicist), and Christopher Reeves (stem cell advocate).
More than half a century after embarking on his lifelong musical adventure, Shorter is universally regarded as a living legend in jazz. His great body of work as a composer for such illustrious groups as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis' famous mid '60s quintet and fusion supergroup Weather Report is enough to ensure him a spot in the Jazz Hall of Fame. But if the prolific composer had never written a single tune, his signature sound and choice of notes, sense of economy and unparalleled expression on both tenor and soprano saxes would have earmarked him for greatness. Combine the writing prowess with the fragmented, probing solos and the enigmatic Buddhist philosopher presence and you have the makings of a jazz immortal. "Life is so mysterious, to me," says Shorter. "I can't stop at any one thing to say, 'Oh, this is what it is.' And I think it's always becoming, always becoming. That's the adventure. And imagination is part of that adventure."
Born in
Philharmonic show in
Switching to tenor saxophone, shorter formed a teenage band in Newark called The Jazz Informers and later got some invaluable bandstand experience with the Jackie Bland Band, a progressive Newark orchestra that specialized in bebop. While still in high school, Shorter participated in several cutting contests on
Following his time in the service, Shorter had a brief stint in 1958 with Horace Silver and later played in the house band at Minton's Playhouse in
In 1970, Shorter co-founded the group Weather Report with keyboardist and Miles Davis alum, Joe Zawinul. It remained the premier fusion group through the '70s and into the early '80s before disbanding in 1985 after 16 acclaimed recordings, including 1980's Grammy Award-winning double-live LP set, 8:30. Shorter formed his own group in 1986 and produced a succession of electric jazz albums for the Columbia label -- 1986's Atlantis, 1987's Phantom Navigator, 1988's Joy Ryder. He re-emerged on the Verve label with 1995's High Life. After the tragic loss of his wife in 1996 (she was aboard the ill-fated Paris-bound flight TWA 800), Shorter returned to the scene with 1997's 1+1, an intimate duet recording with pianist and former Miles Davis quintet bandmate Herbie Hancock. The two spent 1998 touring as a duet and by the summer of 2001
Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade, each a celebrated recording artist and bandleader in his own right. The group's uncanny chemistry was well documented on 2002's acclaimed Footprints Live! Shorter followed in 2003 with the ambitious Alegria, an expanded vision for large ensemble which earned him a Grammy Award.
Shorter sees his current recording, the live Beyond the Sound Barrier , as part of a creative continuum. "It's the same mission...fighting the good fight," he says. "It's making a statement about what life is, really. And I'm going to end the line with it.: He adds, "A lot of musicians worry about protecting what I call their musical foundation. They want to be on their Ps and Qs on stage, put their best foot forward, play their best runs, their best and try to impress people. But I'm at a point where I'm just going say, 'To hell with the rules.' That's all I'm doing with the music now. I'm 71, I've got nothing to lose now. I'm going for the unknown."

If Twinkle Cavanagh gets more extreme, will we have to call her "Flash?"
Yesterday the Public Service Commission president stopped by the Birmingham News/AL.com to answer criticism the state regulatory agency has received for being too soft on utility monopolies in Alabama. According to Birmingham News columnist John Archibald, the visit was ... enlightening.
Cavanaugh insists that a push for the PSC to hold formal reviews of utilities' rate structures is a move by "environmental extremists" and their lawyers to have a say in the process, and she makes no apologies about trying to exclude them.
"You can write that," she told Archibald. "I want to exclude the environmentalists from taking part in the process."
But isn't the PSC commission's job to make sure that Alabama rate payers are not having their pocket books drained by a rate structure that only benefits the utility companies?
In the last few months, Press-Register/AL.com reporter Ben Raines compared utility rates of Alagasco and Alabama Power to those in other states. What he found was that Alabama customers pay more, sometimes much more.
Those issues aren't being addressed, PSC Commissioner Terry Dunn says. Dunn argued in favor of holding a formal review, but was shot down at the latest PSC meeting, and he has become the target of many in his own party for arguing that a formal review might be within the scope of the PSC's job description.
Eric Fleischauer, at the Decatur Daily, says that Cavanaugh is distracting the public from the real issues. But the PSC president has her supporters, as well, including the JobKeeper Alliance, a lobbying group of business interests and organized labor, which says that Cavanaugh and PSC Commissioner Jeremy Oden are protecting Alabama jobs from extremists.
Meanwhile, Cavanaugh says she has a green streak of her own and likes to hunt and fish."
But who does she work for? Let's go to Twinkle's tweets.

AEA, state school boards opposed over school flexibility
Two education interest groups are on opposite sides of two bills that would give more control and flexibility to local school systems, AL.com's Mike Cason reports.
The two identical bills introduced in the Alabama House and Senate would allow school systems to receive waivers from the Alabama State Board of Education clearing them of certain legal requirements.
The bills list a number of laws and requirements that could not be waived, many of which pertain to educational standards and benefits for employees, but they potentially could free schools' curricula from state standards.
The bills' sponsors argue that the changes would allow schools to innovate and shape curricula to local needs. The Alabama Association of School Boards agrees.
However, the Alabama Education Association opposes the bills, saying that they could lead to charter schools, an assertion the bills' sponsors adamantly deny.
"Standards could certainly be weakened and there would be no way to police what was going on at the local level," AEA Executive Secretary Henry Mabry told Cason.
Artur Davis goes to CPAC
This time four years ago, Artur Davis was a star Democratic congressman who was selling himself as the last hope for his party in Alabama politics before making a run for governor. But when that race failed, Davis left the state for Virginia, making a hard right turn on his way from here to there.
But just how far right has Davis turned? In March he will speak to the Conservative Political Action Conference, more commonly called CPAC, AL.com's Chuck Dean reports.
The conference is a key event on the political right, and a stop for conservative hopefuls looking for support. Davis has considered running for congress as a Republican in his new home.
JeffCo goes back to court and to New York
Jefferson County's creditors want the county commission to turn over documents related to their study for sewer rate increases, but U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Bennett says the county won't have to," Kent Faulk reports for the Birmingham News/AL.com.
However, those consultants might still have to testify in future proceedings, the judge said.
The county and its creditors will go to trial next week to fight again over the role of a state court-appointed sewer receiver. Creditors want the judge court to lift a stay that effectively put receiver John Young's role in suspended animation while the county remains in bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Commissioners Jimmie Stephens and David Carrington will return next week to New York to continue negotiations with hedge funds as the county navigates an exit from its largest-ever municipal bankruptcy.
"There appears to be some movement from the creditor's position that now might be the time," Commission President Carrington told Birmingham News/AL.com reporter Barnett Wright.
Recently, Carrington has said that the early months of 2013 would determine whether the county reaches a breakthrough in its negotiations or faces a long, hard slog in the courtroom.
Judge tosses some former Water Works employee complaints
U.S. District Judge Inge Johnson has dismissed six of nine claims made by former employees of the Birmingham Water Works Board who accused a supervisor of trapping them in an extortion racket," Birmingham News/AL.com's Joseph Bryant reports.
The nine employees who brought the lawsuit were fired last year for claiming bogus overtime. After they were terminated, the plaintiffs sued, claiming that a supervisor had forced them into a kickback scheme, in which the employees would claim overtime, a portion of which they would then pay to the supervisor.
The plaintiffs also say that they told senior BWWB management about the scheme, but that senior management sided with their supervisor.

The program will include two presentations:
The Same River: Dilemmas and Challenges of Long-term Cultural Research in Conflict Zones and Failing States
by Margaret Mills, Professor, Ohio State University Dept of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures and Center for Folklore Studies
Private Stories, Public Folklore, and Contested Histories in Jamaica: Taking the Long View with the Maroons
by Kenneth Bilby, Research Associate, Smithsonian Institution Dept of Anthropology
Margaret Mills first visited Afghanistan in 1969, and subsequently conducted two years of research for her dissertation on contemporary folktale performance in Persian-speaking Herat, in western Afghanistan, in 1974-1976.
The Marxist coup of 1978 and the ensuing anti-Soviet war, followed by civil war, created a sixteen-year hiatus in her contact with Afghan friends and associates. Two short return research visits, in 1994 and 1995, re-established her contacts with close friends from her first period of research but were followed by another seven-year separation during the period of Taliban dominance. Her Botkin lecture-discussion will concern long-term commitment to longitudinal cultural study and necessarily episodic presence in what became a war zone.
This discussion addresses the difficult search for a balanced and productive relationship between the outsider researcher, now implicated by our own national policy in Afghanistan's struggles for political autonomy and security, and three generations of Afghans struggling to survive, economically, culturally and politically.
Kenneth Bilby's first encounter with the Maroons of Jamaica was in 1977, when he arrived in the community of Moore Town. Nearly three decades later, after further research in South America for a doctoral degree and multiple return visits to Jamaica, he is as involved as ever with the Maroons.
Legendary for their secrecy, the Jamaican Maroons have been described by one anthropologist as "some of the worlds most famous but least-known people." Descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped from plantations, fought the British colonists, and won their freedom in 1739, they have survived as distinct ethnic groups to the present. It is largely through their private culture of remembrance -- the esoteric, spiritually charged stories they tell about their past -- that Maroons construct and reproduce their continuing sense of collective identity.
The presentation will focus on the complexities and challenges of working with an oral culture that has traditionally been concealed from outsiders, yet has gained in political significance in an era characterized by conflicting claims over cultural authenticity and ownership of the past. This is further complicated by a nation-state that has continued to deny or ignore the Maroons' ongoing efforts to resist assimilation and assert their right to self-determination. Bilby will also discuss the making of his new book about Jamaican Maroon oral narratives and cultural memory, True-Born Maroons (University Press of Florida, 1995; Ian Randle [Jamaica], 1996)
Thursday, August 3
12:00 noon-1:30 p.m.

Great doctor , takes his time and explaines everything in detail. Superb bedside manner.
When attempting to laser a kidney stone, he punctured my urethra tube. When I woke up, he just told me how difficult I was and never told me about the puncture. Two days later I was in such bad pain, ending up in York hospital. It was "fixed" there, but I have been plagued with yeast and UTI's ever since. That was 18 months ago. He is very arragant as others have said.
Arrogant, uncaring, minimal time spent with patient, reluctant to answer questions or answer questions.
He was cold and uncaring. He wouldn't answer my questions and was in a big hurry to get me out of there. I would not go back to him or refer anyone to him.
worst service I have ever had the man didnt even sit down when giving us results he stood in the door way adn gave us the print our from the lab and said heres 2 pills to take everyday see ya in 6 months. Absolutly awful and the staff was equally bad.

Snowcat skiing in British Columbia's most incredible big mountain terrain.
Valhalla Powdercats caters to strong skiers and riders who come from many parts of the globe to experience simply some of the best snow Mother Nature has to offer.
Please inquire about standby rates at our front desk!
Snowcat skiing in British Columbia's most incredible big mountain terrain, Valhalla Powdercats caters to strong skiers and riders who come from many parts of the globe to experience simply some of the best snow Mother Nature has to offer. Their down-to-earth rates, small groups and laid-back atmosphere are conducive to both safety and adventure, offering you the ultimate catskiing adventure.
Your choice of two world class powder skiing adventures. By snowcat and also by helicopter, Valhalla Powdercats' recently expanded terrain can be explored with which ever tool is ideal for the day. Its about quality experience.
Snowfall here is legendary. Powder connoisseurs the world over are already familiar with the unsurpassed consistency, quantity, and lightness of snow in this famous snow-rich portion of the Selkirk Mountains known as "the powder triangle".The Valhalla's are the first major range of the Selkirks to get pummeled by the constant storms which roll in over the Okanagan valley from the precipitous Pacific coast. The plains dry out the moisture content and Voila! … Snow quality like few other places on earth.We receive over 1200cm(450″ to 500″) of snow fall each winter and typically have a snow base between 10 to 12 ft (3 to 4m) deep.
Unlike many other catskiing operations, Valhalla drives their cats well into the alpine, meaning that snow conditions are light, dry and deep even when warmer, wetter weather patterns persist in other parts of BC's interior. What's more, almost all of our area is north facing, making its snowpack dependable and stable throughout the season.
Our total, continuous fall line is over 3,200 vertical ft (1000m) without being broken up by traverses or skiing down along snowcat trails. Over a third of our terrain is in the alpine featuring ridges, steep chutes and vast open areas to cruise. The lower half of our terrain is large old growth forest that has never been logged and is speckled with short, steep boulder fields.

xp & ubuntu dual boot ok, installed 64 studio now ubuntu wont load?
hi all. im new to linux, i have xp & ubuntu working fine dual booting from grub, i installed 64 studio to a spare 30 gb partition and now when i try to boot into ubuntu it gets to checking files and then fails and states need to recover manually cant find \\home ??? when i installed 64 studio the grub found xp & ubuntu ? any ideas. thanks barks
Not performance, convenience! If you (as a new user) manage to mess up your 64studio installation completely after a while - yes it happens if you start to explore new things... you can reinstall your OS without changing a thing. Other than the "Other OS" all your user settings are stored in hidden folders in you own home folder. If you keep it intact, you will have a fresh system that feels like your old setup. To tell the truth, I don't even know what a new 64studio system looks like. Every time I upgrade my user settings stays. You can go for either, But I'll go for the partitioned setup every time. Cheers
thanks, thats what i wanted
thanks, thats what i wanted to hear, a few last question if i may... i have a laptop also so im going to wipe the pc i have setup for music and just install 64 studio, should i use the whole drive or are there performance gains in using say 30gb for os and 120gb for storage (is it home)?
Check here
See the first reply of this thread to answer your question... http://www.64studio.com/node/118 Cheers
thanks for the reply
hi, thanks for the reply, sorry to ask but is this the best distro for running music apps, and if so why? ubuntu studio is very popular? thanks
Looks like you might have installed 64studio over your ubuntu home... It happened to me once as well. I have the perfect solution though. Format everything and install 64studio only ;-) Over the past two years I slowly migrated everything away from the other OS, to 64studio. I don't miss my other PC. And it is all legal to boot! Cheers, Quentin

Krzysztof Kieslowski's staggering and monumental DEKALOG premiered at the Music Box Theatre in October 1989 as part of the Chicago International Film festival. Those showings achieved the status of an instant classic. Kieslowski was working at the height of his artistic powers. This provided an incredible showcase for Poland's greatest actors and technical artists.
Now this extraordinary work—the director's finest achievement—is back at the Music Box, in a beautiful 4K restoration undertaken by Janus and Criterion. Financed by Polish television, the ambitious work was constructed as a series of films inspired by the Ten Commandments. Subtly and intricately bound by its central location, a Warsaw housing complex, Kieslowski was a dark and somber ironist whose stories of fate, chance, love and vulnerability achieved a depth of expression and emotional intensity that was unforgettable.

Fun Fact: Laura Wilson '14 and her family, including sister Sarah '09, appeared earlier this week on the Family Feud with Steve Harvey. And believe it or not, Wilson's family has a history with the game show. Their father, Doug Wilson, appeared on the show in 1985 and lost—horribly. It was so bad, in fact, that the Wilson family whips out the video of the show every Christmas for a night of family teasing and entertainment.
So this summer, just for fun, the Wilsons went to L.A. (they live close by) to try out for the game show—and the folks at Family Feud loved them.
Next, they flew off to Atlanta to tape a series of three shows. During taping, the over-thinking Wilsons were told, "Don't be so cerebral, it's a simple game." And Wilson's dad redeemed himself by winning the game each time—in fact his nickname backstage became "Stone Cold Wilson."

Do other people--
How had you felt all your life about jails?
I've always had a negative, negative picture of jails. I think it's born of, even when I was a child growing up, when I'd see Black men being dragged out or beaten with billy clubs and hauled off to jail. You had no voice. You couldn't speak. You couldn't explain. All you could do is get hit over the head and dragged off to jail. These are my recollections as, as a youngster even. And I don't think my views have changed very much through the years. I do believe there is difference in how policeman police certain sections of a city. Just a few minutes ago the sirens are blasting all the time, practically all the time. And, um, when they come out to take someone, people are trying to explain. And if you talk more, "You shut up." You know, if you try to say something else your going to get cracked with that billy club. And you may be just telling them exactly what happened, trying to explain. But you don't get the opportunity. It's as though that your not important. You always are guilty, you've got to go to jail. And I'm not saying that, um, all policeman are like this because I'm sure they aren't all like this. But my, my association with them, when I was a child growing up and teenage has been that. Some people I've known who's houses they've come to, and they've kicked in walls, damaged furniture, hit them over the heads, took the fathers away with the kids screaming. It's bad enough to come in and hit someone with that billy club but you don't have to damage their, their furniture, their belongings, and things like that. That isn't necessary.

WARREN - Even though a defense attorney continued to question how a mother and son could positively identify the gunman who kidnapped them, the two victims were confident in their testimony that it was an armed Taylor Ervin-Williams who barged into their home.
''He had that red bandanna and the black hoodie. Everything was dark. I gave him $40 from my wallet. Then he threatened us. He told us, 'You better have more money and it better be a lot more or somebody's going to die tonight,''' Reiko Williamson told jurors.
Williamson told a jury Tuesday she was watching a movie with her son, Bryce Humphrey, when a gunman sneaked through a back window. He ordered the 20-year-old Humphrey to lie facedown on the floor.
Article Photos
Trumbull County assistant prosecutor Chris Becker, left, has Warren patrolman David Weber identify a pair of boots as evidence.
''I told him my money is in the bank and he said, 'Let's go,' '' Williamson testified, describing how the intruder sat in the back seat of her tan Buick Century and, waving a gun pointed at the backs of their heads, ordered Williamson to drive to the Seven Seventeen Credit Union ATM in the parking lot of the Hot Dog Shoppe on Feb. 22.
Ervin-Williamson's attorney, Gil Rucker, has insisted that since the gunman was wearing a bandanna around his mouth and nose, no one could positively identify him.
But Williamson and Humphrey said there was no mistaking the two tattooed teardrops under the defendant's right eye.
Ervin-Williams, 21, could face more than 25 years behind bars if convicted on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and two counts of kidnapping - all with a three-year mandatory firearm specification. He also was indicted on charges of tampering with evidence, failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer and having weapons while under disability, since indictments point out that he was previously convicted of a burglary in 2011.
If convicted, the maximum sentences stacked consecutively would total nearly 60 years.
The four men and eight women on the jury in Judge Ronald Rice's courtroom heard testimony from BreeAnn Humphrey, another family member, who explained how she had mentioned her mother was about to receive her income tax refund to a young woman who was living with Ervin-Williamson on Belmont Street N.W.
It's at that apartment house on Belmont where Patrolman Dave Weber and other officers tracked down Ervin-Williamson after police said he stole the victim's car and, at first, headed back to the scene of the break-in on Charles Street S.E.
Patrolman Tim Ladner testified how he shined his spotlight on the Buick and got a clear view of Ervin-Williams behind the wheel.
Then Weber explained about the high-speed chase from Charles through downtown Warren onto Elm Road N.E., where the loaded pistol used in the crime was tossed out of the driver's side door.
The dashboard video in Weber's cruiser captured the complete chase, ending when the getaway car was driven into a vacant lot on Prospect Street N.W., where the driver bailed out. Weber gave chase and leaped over a six-foot-high fence, following the suspect to the Belmont neighborhood where residents signaled him, telling him of the man who ran into the apartment house.
Weber coordinated a perimeter around the house that was eventually searched after a woman there - the same woman that BreeAnn Humphrey discussed the tax refund with - tried to convince police no one was in the house.
Ervin-Williams was eventually rousted up after pretending he was asleep, Weber said, and was identified in person by Bryce Humphrey, who said he clearly recognized the voice.
Williamson also identified the suspect through the clothing found in the room where he was pretending to sleep.
A key prosecution witness in the form of a state forensic expert is scheduled to testify early today about linking Ervin-Williams to the discarded pistol through DNA tests. Becker will rest his case early.
It's unclear whether Rucker plans to put on any defense in the case that could go to the jury for deliberations late Wednesday or sometime Thursday.

NCAA Tournament Tidbits – 03.17.2011Posted by Brian Goodman on March 17th, 2011
Throughout the NCAA Tournament, we'll be providing you with the daily chatter from around the webosphere relating to what's going on with the teams still playing.
- When Jay Wright speaks, his Wildcat squad listens. The veteran coach knows how to communicate with his players and that is one of the reasons he has had such a successful tenure.
- A key for West Virginia's resurgence this season has been the turnaround of senior guard Casey Mitchell. Mitchell, who was thought to be a consistent player for the Mountaineers, battled inconsistency and conduct problems throughout the early part of the season.
- UNC head coach Roy Williams revealed guard Dexter Strickland has been battling a knee injury for a few weeks. Strickland's health will be a key to Carolina's chances of making a deep run.
- Marquette has struggled with defensive inconsistencies all season, but they have had great success getting to the hoop and drawing fouls. Look for Jimmy Butler and Darius Johnson-Odom to exploit the Musketeers in an attempt to get easy hoops.
- #13 seed Princeton is seeking a monumental upset as they prep to face Kentucky. The Tigers do have a history of pulling huge shockers in March, as they stunned defending champion UCLA in the first round in 1996.
- Kansas State standout guard Jacob Pullen is battling the flu, but is expected to be a full participant in tonight's tilt with Utah State. If Pullen is not 100%, one can assume Utah State's chances for an upset get significantly stronger.
- The fresh infusion of talent provided to Gonzaga by the emergence of Marquise Carter, David Stockton, and Sam Dower have been key to the Zags' late season run. The play of all three will undoubtedly dictate if Mark Few's squad will make any noise.
- Tom Izzo knows this season did not go exactly the way he wanted it to, but an experienced squad can be a huge factor if the Spartans make a run. Izzo is a great veteran coach, who has Final Four experience, so a big run may not be that surprising.
- St. John's associate head coach Mike Dunlaphas interest in the opening at Wyoming. Dunlap has a great track record as an assistant and a lower-level head coach and could thrive as the head man at Wyoming.
- An interesting story has emerged about how Old Dominion head coach Blaine Taylor has endured bouts with alcoholism. His road to redemption is quite inspiring, as he did not let his demons put an end to his career.

Adam Johnson led the way for the Southern Maryland pitching staff, combining with Jason Blanton and Chris Gale for the second shutout in the team's short history. The offense also exloded
Johnson, making his first home start since coming off the disabled list with an elbow injury, showed the form that made him a number two overall pick in the 2000 Major League Baseball draft. Johnson pitched five innings, giving up only three hits and zero runs.
Pitching in relief of Johnson, Jason Blanton and Chris Gale also blanked the Patriots, pitching two innings apiece to finish out the second shutout in team history. The first came when John Halama pitched a complete game versus the York Revolution on May 28.
The Blue Crabs offense did their part, pounding the Somerset pitching staff to the tune of thirteen hits and seven runs. John Ramistella started it off, smashing a solo home run over the left field wall to lead off the fourth inning. Curtis Pride followed right behind him with a double, and reached home plate when Clinton Johnston smacked a triple down the right field line.
Adam Shorsher would hit a solo home run the very next inning to left field, nearly putting a hole in the picnic tarp with his line drive. Sandel and Ramistella would both single after Shorsher's shot, with both crossing the plate on a double by Patrick Osborn.
Johnston would pick up his second hit of the night in the sixth inning, singling to left field to lead off the inning. James Shanks then hit the third Blue Crab homer of the game, his third since joining the Southern Maryland roster.
Sunday's game time will be 2:05, with Jonathan Connolly taking the mound for Butch Hobson's crew. The first 1,000 fans will receive a team baseball card set, the first for the Blue Crabs.

The Saint Vincent Gallery is located on the third floor of the Robert S. Carey Student Center and is accessible to the physically challenged. For further information, 724 805-2197, www.stvincent.edu/gallery. Student Exhibition II will open Thursday, April 19. Christine DunleavyChristine Dunleavy expects to earn a bachelor of arts degree in studio arts from Saint Vincent College in May. Skilled in doing watercolor paintings and drawing portraits in charcoal, pencil and chalk pastel, she is a member of the dean's list. A graduate of La Plata High School, she has experience as a lifeguard in the Hampshire Neighborhood and as an assistant coach of the Waves of Westlake swim team, both in Waldorf. "My definition of art has changed and adapted throughout my experiences as a student and as a participant of art," Ms. Dunleavy commented. "Throughout those occurrences, I have attempted many projects and used various types of media for the specific solutions which I expected to execute. I am a person who loves to delve into realms of realism. The intent of my art is for my audience to become emotionally involved with each of my subjects. The creation of art is an experiment for all artists and for me an eclectic palette for exploration." Charles Eluwa Charles Eluwa expects to receive a bachelor of arts degree in graphic design from Saint Vincent College in May. A 2008 graduate of St. Benedict's Preparatory School, he has worked as a student assistant librarian at the Maplewood Library in Maplewood, New Jersey, as a student photographer for the Saint Vincent College public relations office, and as a head camp counselor at the Baird Center Summer Camp in South Orange, New Jersey. "Pictures, as many people have said, are worth a thousand words but this is my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass to see a world that can never be expressed with only words," commented Mr. Eluwa. "I have a unique eye in visualizing my surroundings. I am very keen in taking interesting shots that make your eyes stop and wonder about what you are staring at. I am definitely excited about sports photography and being able to freeze a second in time that will last forever." Steven FioriSteven Fiori expects to receive a bachelor of arts in graphic design with a minor in business marketing from Saint Vincent College in December. Adept in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking and photography, he also has technical skills in using graphic software programs. A member of the Saint Vincent varsity golf team, he has worked as a teacher assistant, as a park leader, restaurant assistant and as a landscaper. "I believe in focusing on the way the eye reads its subject through various forms of art," Mr. Fiori commented. "As a beginning artist, it is fun to expand my abilities in different art techniques as well as mediums. In my creations, I strive to capture vibrant colors, shadows and textures. It is important to me that each work of art has a sense of movement, wholeness and appeal." Bethanie KernBethanie Kern expects to receive a bachelor of arts degree in graphic design with a minor in education from Saint Vincent College in May. A 2008 graduate of Avella High School, she is a member of the dean's list, art club, equestrian club and education club. An active art volunteer for March Arts Day at West Hempfield Elementary School, she has also participated in the Latrobe Art Show. The recipient of a Saint Vincent academic scholarship, she has worked for the Amateur Softball Association, American Eagle Outfitters, Pittsburgh Pirates and Fox Ford. "My art reflects my personality and is a form of self-expression," Ms. Kern commented. "I want the viewer to become immersed in the image and appreciate the finer details. My paintings thrive on bright, vibrant colors conveying a sense of peacefulness yet excitement. I want the viewer to look at my paintings as a whole but notice the smaller intricate details within." Rebecca Raraigh Rebecca Raraigh expects to receive a bachelor of arts degree in art education from Saint Vincent College in May. A member of the dean's list, she has experience as a commissioned artist, as a camp counselor and fine art instructor and as a librarian assistant. She has also been a volunteer with Meals on Wheels and the Providence Baptist Church Kidz Ministry. "I paint what I see, what I love and what I experience," Ms. Raraigh commented. "My art is simply for art's sake and what people take away from it is totally up to them."

In his essay "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" (1920) Freud relates how he observed a boy of around 36 months who had just mastered a few words and basic sounds throwing a wooden reel out of his cot and exclaiming "fort" ["gone"], and then reeling it in and exclaiming "da" ["there"]. The episode was often repeated, as was his habit of throwing toys away into a corner or under a bed, then struggling to get them back. Other parents have often noted similar behaviour as children around this age toss a favoured toy out of their cots and then wail miserably until it is returned to them. The "fort – da" episode, as it is now often called, was interpreted by Freud as a game whereby the child gained mastery over loss: t…

Neither was wearing a seat belt.
The investigation into the crash continues.

CONSIDERING the widespread use of anticoagulants, major complications are infrequent. In some cases, such as the sudden development of a neurological abnormality or gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding, the site of the problem is evident. The development of abdominal pain in the patient receiving anticoagulants is more likely to pose a diagnostic dilemma. A series of cases are presented in which the source of abdominal pain was not apparent and was not clarified by physical examination or conventional radiological studies. Computed tomographic (CT) examination of the abdomen provided useful information. The clinician is unlikely to have experience with a spectrum of such cases and the value of CT in hemorrhagic complications of therapy with warfarin sodium. Thus far, most of the reports of its use have appeared in the radiological literature and have dealt with only one of the several possible complications.
The experience of the authors indicates that CT should

89 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2009
($65) Good deep red. Musky, gamey aromas of plum, dark chocolate, cocoa powder and roasted oak. Fat, plummy and lush, but with decent spine to give the wine shape. Sweet but not overly so, offering more breadth than depth. Finishes with dusty, horizontal tannins.

Is this Obama cartoon in the New Yorker playing on stereotypes?Breaking News
To me, the image [above] looks an awful lot like an anthropomorphic chimpanzee (sorry for the lousy screen cap). But that's silly, of course, because it's Barack Obama! Brought to you by the New Yorker! Right on the magazine's home page! Actually, the image is a tease for a video about drawing the presidential candidates, including a meditation on Obama's efforts to cast himself as post-racial. Still, it strikes me that this caricature — and perhaps the video as well — suggests one or more of the following: 1) I'm too sensitive. 2) Editors at the New Yorker aren't sensitive enough. 3) Having an African-American man run for president will present extraordinary, and likely salutary, challenges for our culture. To be clear, 1, 2, and 3 are in no way mutually exclusive.

Actually, it seems to resemble a pseudo Sphinx with big ears to me...
By the way, why is there no discussion in the mainstream media of Senator Obama being biracial rather than "African-American"? Obama has said that he is Black because he claims to be so. Does that mean I can identify myself as a Native American? After all, I was born here. For that matter, I guess I could also claim to be African-American, as could any other member of Homo Sapiens that migrated across that particular land bridge. I just don't get it. Those who most loudly claim to be against racism are the first to invoke it in labeling themselves and others.

I downloaded it right away because I've become a fan of the series too. I was looking forward to making the switch to reading on my new NOOKcolor with this release.
Did you have any issues with the formatting? There's no indenting or double-spacing to indicate new paragraphs! They do start on new lines but don't stand out any other way, and I find that frustrating. I tried all the formatting/font adjustments I could find and didn't make anything better.
I wrote customer service and was told they "forwarded your feedback to the individuals responsible for NOOKbooks for correction." I'm still new enough to not know if there's anything else I can/should do....
