Album Review
The 17 recordings reissued by Jazzology under the heading of
Willie "The Lion" Smith & His Jazz Cubs
are uncommon and well worth experiencing. This compilation could conceivably be confused with the Timeless label's 24-track reissue of jazz from the mid-'30s played by a small swing band billed as
Willie "The Lion" Smith & His Cubs
. Both collections are excellent and the two sets have no tracks in common. Jazzology's "Jazz Cubs" edition combines piano solos performed at New York's Ritz Theatre in July 1944, and selections recorded live at Town Hall in February 1971 with a small unit designated as
Willie "The Lion" Smith's Washington Cubs
. Drawn from an LP on the small time Fat Cat Jazz label, these tracks feature the Lion with
Wild Bill Davison
's bassist
Van Perry
Max Kaminsky
's drummer
Skip Tomlinson
, Virginian clarinetist
Tom Gwaltney
, and Australian trumpeter Tony Newstead. Vocals are attributed to
Johnson "Fat Cat" McRee
, a producer, promoter, and record label owner based in Manassas, Virginia. Formerly difficult to obtain, these historic tidbits of Harlem stride piano and traditional ensemble jazz are a welcome addition to the ever-so-slowly-increasing number of digitally reissued works by

Weird! Have you gone to Nintendo.com and searched the Wii troubleshooting tips?
Whichever way it says to do it in the instructions.
Weird! Have you gone to Nintendo.com and searched the Wii troubleshooting tips?
Awesome, i just got my wii like 3 days ago, and an error has occured already lol. This is what it said on the screen "Error occured. Press the eject button and remove the disc. Turn the power off and follow the instructions in the operations manual".
I honestly have no idea what this means, my wii seems to be in a nice spot, i have a AC cooler in the back of my room and my wii is right next to my t.v and cd's in my entertainment system. This is the second problem i have had, the other was the jittery remote thing...which is still annoying me. I'm pretty frustrated. I just hope it's not serious...Should i let it cool down for a while, and hope it's okay? I need some help here, cuz it took me forever to get one lol.
My WiiMotes won't even work.
At the opening "Press A to Continue" screen, neither of my two controllers are able to press A.
If I wait long enough, the screen will do it itself and go straight to the Home menu, in which I won't be able to do anything there either, because (Of course) my controllers don't seem to be responding.
Help please?
Are you sure that you have linked up your Wiimotes to your Wii properly?
Yep. They've been linked since we got it in November. They just stopped working todayOriginally Posted by Beaker
the only problem i had was when i tried connecting to the internet and it wouldnt load so i disconneted it tried again and it worked. only problem i had and hopefully its the only problem i had YAY.
i need help.... how do i add mii friends??? PLEASE TELL ME
Can someone tell me if this is a common problem with the wii?
Lets see, my wii every once in a while when i play will load for a very long time, like today when i was playing RE4, the screen went blank for like 30 seconds then it finally went to the next sequence. Well, after i play for about 20 minutes more, it just can't handle all of the loading, and it goes to a screen that says, "An error has occured, press eject to take out your game, and turn the power off".
Is this normal?
lol, sorry to say this but..... I think my wii is normal. after looking at these complaints i appreciate my wii more....at the cost of others having theirs screwed up....

i think that's something i've held on to as well. i ate out yesterday and made conscious decision to eat that brownie. and drink the wine. conscious.
but if i go out to eat now, i'm learning to make right choices. i didn't order the fried shrimp. i steered from the battered stuffs. and i'm glad. i realize that by eating foods not coated in breading that i have more room for the good foods. and i can actually taste the foods. if we go somewhere to eat and i want something, sure, i'll think about what's in it. and i'll make smart choices. but i can't stress about the cornstarch or thickening agent they may have used.
i just like my food with spices. can i make a spice crust...? lol
still reeling over how freakin' awesome that wine was. wowowowowowowo.

Maui Film Fest shows Pearl Jam and 'I AM'
KAHULUI - Following on the heels of its successful showing of Martin Scorsese's musical biography of George Harrison, the Maui Film Festival returns to Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center for two more screenings this week.
Both are for the same cause: to plant new trees at Baldwin Beach to replace those lost to erosion. Maui Film Festival is working with the Maui Tomorrow Foundation on the project, titled "Bring Back Baldwin Beach Trees Please."

Musical artists from all over the world are "Playing for Change" in free screening at UH-MC
On Sunday, MFF will screen "Pearl Jam 20" at 7 p.m. Directed by Cameron Crowe, this uncensored documentary chronicles the years leading up to the creation of the beloved band featuring Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Eddie Vedder.
Assembled from 1,200 hours of rare and never-seen-before footage, the Maui screening also includes special extras filmed during the band's 2005 tour of South America.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, the festival will screen "I AM," an audience award winner at last summer's Maui Film Festival. This philosophical documentary revolves around successful Hollywood director Tom Shadyac, whose credits include "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar" and "Bruce Almighty," who had to take a new look at the meaning of it all following a serious cycling accident.
Shadyac leads the inquiries onscreen, interviewing subjects including David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks and Marc Ian Barasch.
Tickets are $10 if using a 4-for-$40 pass, or $12, available at the MACC box office, 242-7469.
UH-MC Peace Club is 'Playing for Change'
KAHULUI - The Maui College Peace Club is presenting "Playing for Change - Peace Through Music" at 6 p.m. Friday at the University of Hawaii Maui College Ka Lima 103.
The screening is free and open to the public. The Peace Club especially encourages families, children and youth to attend the award-winning documentary, which follows the worldwide journey of the Playing for Change team that filmed musicians in Africa, in ancient Middle East sites, in the Himalayas, in tiny pueblos and on city streets. Each captured performance was mixed with the others to create a unified musical work.

If Red Gate Farm's 200 year-old oak trees could talk – they would tell stories of Indians and Colonists who once called this place home – or laugh at the joy brought to them by wild animal inhabitants – or remember the glory years of those who chose this land as their final resting place. Unfortunately, the trees can't talk, but through extensive research we've learned:• from 1861-1864 – The Mackey House land in Savannah Ga. was an encampment for Confederate soldiers led by General William Hardy • later the property became occupied by Union Army troops led by General William T. Sherman after their March to the Sea • in 1898 — a Powder Magazine, used to house ammunition was built on Red Gate Farms, the care-keeper's house was located on the farm's property…remnants from both are still available for viewing today • we have discovered numerous artifacts dating back to the Civil War that have confirmed our research about the land and its history
In 1918, Mr. Harry Edward Martin, Jr. purchased 440 acres of wooded countryside, which he and his wife, Mamie, named in memory of her cousin, Cyrus Steadwell. Cyrus had always dreamed of owning his own farm and calling it "Red Gate Farms." He would never see that dream come to life, he was killed in France during World War I and Mamie Martin couldn't think of a better way to preserve Cyrus' memory.
Mr. Martin was a direct descendant of John Martin, a Scottish Highlander emigrant who came to Georgia when it was still a colony in 1742. By 1782, John became governor of the Georgia Colony and as a highlander, was famed for his passion for land and protectiveness of his family. Edward has carried on that same Martin family tradition.
The Martin's began a dairy farm and cultivated 300 of the land's acres for silage corn, grain crops and pasture land for their 140 Jersey cows. Their dairy, hog, and chicken farm became widely known and duplicated throughout Georgia. Mr. Martin led the state in Jersey herd development and became a bit of a "folk hero" when he led a major fight to lower milk prices. Today, Mr. Martin's family still shares his passion for family and this land.
Although the land is no longer used for farming, it remains an oasis of gracious entertaining, located only 5 minutes from Historic downtown Savannah. Red Gate Farms is still owned and operated by Mr. Martin's daughter, Patricia, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Patricia's daughter, Laura Mackey and her husband Fred Mackey along with their son Trey are well known in Savannah for their gracious entertaining. The Mackey House family has been the center of events for more than 25 years providing wedding, reception, birthday party, anniversaries, corporate and many other events.
Trey, Laura and Fred, along with the rest of The Mackey House staff welcome the opportunity to help make your special event amemorable one for you and your guests. Please email or give us a call to set up your personal tour.

Can Bishop Timon-St. Jude do it again?
It is another Friday night, another big game hosted by Timon, another higher-ranked Monsignor Martin rival visiting Fitzpatrick Field.
Last week Timon knocked off then-No. 2 large school St. Joe's, 17-14, in front of a tremendous homecoming crowd. Tonight, there should be another large contingent on hand as No. 6 Timon welcomes in the Marauders' rival, Canisius, which this week is the unanimous No. 1 in The News poll.
While last week's win over St. Joe's was its first over the Marauders in a decade, tonight Timon (5-2, 3-0) will try to beat Canisius for the second straight year.
Last year – also in Week Eight – Timon went to Canisius' Stransky Complex and beat the Crusaders, 42-28, for its first victory over a fellow Monsignor Martin large school (Canisius, St. Francis or St. Joe's) in five years. It was a major accomplishment for Timon in its first year under coach Charlie Comerford, a 2001 Timon grad.
However, that was last year's Canisius team.
This year's crew of Crusaders has gotten very good quarterback play from junior Tyler Mascio, a transfer from Lake Shore, who has played behind a strong line (including Bowling Green commit Ryan Hunter) and has playmakers in junior running back Qadree Ollison and senior receiver Denzel Benton.
Canisius (7-0, 3-0) has already passed some serious tests in its unbeaten season, including a 14-7 victory at Ohio's Walsh Jesuit in Week Four and a 35-7 rout of visiting Section V (Rochester area) power Aquinas two weeks ago.
Timon, which welcomed back senior quarterback Ryan Dougherty to the lineup two games ago after he suffered an ACL tear in the Tigers' season opener, is expected to again have senior JD Recor in the lineup. Recor, who was declared ineligible by the Monsignor Martin Association, obtained an injunction to play last week; his case will go before the court next week. Timon may also have senior Bryant Fulton back in the lineup; the standout receiver was also injured in the Tigers' opener.
Timon-Canisius is one of the top games on a weekend in which the Section VI playoffs begin.
The top matchup is in Class B, where two top 10 small schools meet: No. 2 Depew plays No. 6 Burgard tonight at 7 at All High Stadium.
In the very balanced Class C, traditional power Cleveland Hill plays at Salamanca at 7 p.m.
At 2 p.m. Saturday, No. 8 large school and AA North champion Lockport hosts a Clarence team that gave Jamestown a stern challenge last week.
Also at 2 Saturday is Springville, winners of three straight, heading to No. 8 small school and B South champion Eden.
Upon further review
When St. Mary's defeated St. Francis two weeks ago, it was reported to The News that it was the school's first victory over the Red Raiders in 32 years.
It wasn't.
It was the first in 13 years. Former St. Mary's coaches and players emailed The News to remind everyone that the Lancers beat St. Francis, 16-14, on Sept. 18, 1999.
St. Mary's (5-2, 2-2), ranked fourth among small schools, seeks another landmark win Saturday afternoon at St. Joe's (6-1, 2-1), which is ranked seventh among large schools. St. Joe's is 11-0 all-time against St. Mary's; the teams have not met since 2008.
While St. Joe's is coming off its first loss, the Lancers have won two straight since losing at Timon, 28-21. St. Mary's also played Canisius tough, losing, 30-27, at home in Week Two.
St. Joe's coach Dennis Gilbert, a longtime assistant at St. Joe's before being named head coach three seasons ago, was the head coach at St. Mary's in 2008 in his only year away from the Marauders, leading St. Mary's to an 8-3 record and a runner-up finish in the Monsignor Martin's League A final.
Kozak & crew back on air
The Intense Milks Game of the Week is back on the radio, just in time for the playoffs.
The crew of play-by-play man/broadcast founder Rich Kozak, color commentator Hall of Fame coach Art Serotte and sideline reporter John Pluta – which was off the air this year for the first time in over a decade – was brought out of retirement when the title sponsor put a deal together.
They will broadcast tonight's Depew-Burgard Class B quarterfinal at 7 p.m. on WXRL (1300 AM). The broadcast will also be available via the National High School Broadcast Network (nhsbn.com).
Kozak said they will be doing an "Intense Milks Playoff Game of the Week" broadcast through the regionals, which means they will be on the air for a total of four weeks.

STRUTHERS - John F. Kennedy just can't seem to catch a break at Bob Cene Field in Struthers.
Last season, the Eagles waited more than an hour in the rain to lose to Columbiana on a soggy field. This year, they had to watch Boardman and Chardon play nine innings before they could finally take the field.
The results this year were even a little worse. On Wednesday in a Division IV district championship, the Eagles fell to Springfield 10-0 in five innings.
"I don't know what it is about this place, but we can't get on the field on time here," Kennedy coach Don Lee said. "It's not easy to wait around for over an hour, but Springfield had to do the same thing, and they adjusted. We didn't, and that's a reason we lost."
After defeating McDonald in the semifinal round, Kennedy even had its pitching lined up for Wednesday. Ace Brendan Cox was on the mound to face the Tigers with the hopes of pushing his team into the regional tournament.
"That's the way we set it up, and it all broke in our favor," Lee said. "We really thought we could get these guys this time, but they got all of the key hits and we didn't. Who knows ... if we would've got a couple key hits, maybe we could've jumped ahead, and it would've been a different game."
Instead, it was the Tigers who jumped on some Kennedy miscues and never stopped until the game was finished.
"We knew Brendan Cox was a very good pitcher, so we had to try and manufacture some runs early," Springfield coach Matt Weymer said. "Then their defense struggled a bit, and we were able to get some runs off that. I'm happy with the way we reacted, and we're right where we want to be, so we can continue this tradition here."
The Tigers got on the board in the second when Hunter Snyder dropped a bunt just in front of the plate, but enough to squeeze Matt Chicase in from third. The score grew to 2-0 when Jojo Carabello beat out a double-play to allow Joey Wrask to score.
Ryan Kohler made the score 3-0 when he looped a single to left field that scored Snyder.
Springfield extended the lead to 4-0 in the fifth when Nick Russell shot a single into right field that scored Ryan Kohler, who doubled and moved to third on a groundout.
The Tigers opened the game up at 6-0 three batters later when Wrask grounded a single up the middle to score Matt Chicase and Mike Buchenic. Carabello then made the score 8-0 when he looped a ball to right-center field.
Cox pitched five and two thirds innings before being relieved in favor of Joey Canann.
Kennedy preserved a scoreless tie in the bottom of the first when left fielder Vince Infante snagged Cody Pitzo's single, and fired the ball to the plate where catcher Alex Rossi tagged Springfield runner Nick Russell.

More Thoughts on the Compact Clause and the National Popular Vote: A Response to Professor Hendricks
Derek T. Muller
Pepperdine University - School of Law
Election Law Journal, Vol. 7, p. 227, 2008
This article briefly responds to three of the more salient issues noted by Professor Hendricks in her article "Popular Election of the President: Using or Abusing the Electoral College?, 7 ELECTION L.J. 218 (2008). First, I establish that the Supreme Court actually would enforce the requirement of congressional consent for the Compact under its current jurisprudence according to the "Political Consent" Compact Clause. Second, I define a "political compact," not merely in terms of the topic or type of the compact, but in terms of its function as a compact that tends to enlarge the power of some states at the expense of others. Under this definition, the National Popular Vote (NPV) is a political compact because it shifts political power among presidential electors across states. Third, I conclude that the Compact, which ostensibly designates the procedure that participating states will use to appoint their presidential electors, actually affects the political power of non-compacting states.

Mike,
I have to ask, have you researched how Bitcoin works...at all?

On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 10:31 AM, Mike Robinson <email@example.com> wrote:

Let me point you to this Amazon link:

 http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-popular-delusions-madness-crowds/dp/B0007FE87O

 ...
 "Extraordinary Popular Delusions" and "The Madness of Crowds" were two short books published by Charles Mackay, LL.D., (1812-1889). They are still in-print, and for extremely good reasons. Mackay discussed well-known examples including Tulipmania, The South Sea Bubble, and many more. His is considered to be one of the seminal books on the subject of Crowd Psychology.

 One of the most interesting articles on Wikipedia, particularly for its "References" and "See Also" sections:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_psychology

 ...
 This whole thing is DRIPPING with crowd-psychology elements. And, I would say, with a great deal of sophisticated understanding, both of psychology and of the criminal mind. The seeds were carelessly planted a couple of years ago, but very consciously so and in extremely fertile soil. Lately, I cannot help but notice that a public relations campaign has now been started – selling a fabulously expensive car, and particularly, crowing about supposed anonymity and the ability to make illegal purchases. I begin to suspect the presence of a honeypot, perhaps a wonderfully elaborate sting. But, no matter what I suspect ... I know to suspect. And, I would counsel those who wish to listen to do the same.

 I won't say any more about this.

Gannon signs cooperation agreement with Jordanian Catholic university
It won't just be a typical semester abroad when Gannon University junior Shannon Gross spends the upcoming spring in Jordan.
It will be one of the first steps in a broad agreement between Gannon and the American University of Madaba, a Catholic university.
Gannon President Keith Taylor signed a memorandum of understanding between the two schools in October, formalizing plans for regular student and faculty exchanges, administrative guidance, shared programs and joint research.
"This is driven by our goal to have our students be socially responsible global citizens," Taylor said. "We need globally aware graduates."
Taylor said the agreement is the latest product of years of student service trips to Jordan and decades of research in the country done by history and theology professor Suzanne Richard.
The Jordanian university currently has 700 students and hopes to grow to 5,000. American University of Madaba opened in October 2011. It was founded in 2009 by the Latin Patriarchate in Madaba as the first nonprofit, American-style university in the country.
Taylor said part of Gannon's role in the agreement will be to show school officials, including President George Hazboun, how things are done at Gannon.
Taylor said the administrators at the school were largely educated at American schools but don't have experience running them.
"We're helping them with some of their issues around things like accreditation and getting things going," Taylor said. "We're also helping them think like an American university and a Catholic university."
The agreement is the first of its kind for Gannon, and it could be the first of a growing network of agreements with overseas schools in places like Australia, Ireland and Thailand, Taylor said.
One of the key parts of the new agreement will be a regular student exchange between the two schools.
Taylor said the goal will be to regularly have Gannon students doing full semesters at American University of Madaba during the fall and spring, plus shorter four- to six-week programs during the summer. At the same time, Jordanian students would be spending similar time in Erie.
That exchange helps the university in two ways, Taylor said: It gives Gannon students a more international perspective and it creates a more diverse community at Gannon's Erie campus.
Gross, 21, is a junior majoring in environmental engineering at Gannon who will be the first student to participate in the exchange program.
A Wattsburg native, Gross transferred from the University of Vermont specifically to find a chance to study overseas.
"I transferred because I was told before that I couldn't go abroad because of my major," Gross said. "I look forward to immersing myself in such a unique culture."
She said while in Jordan she'll have a chance to learn how the arid country manages its water resources, but she hopes to participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible.
Taylor said the program will also be bolstered by faculty exchanges and joint research between the two schools.
Gannon administrators and faculty are already making regular visits to Jordan, including Taylor's visit in October with provost and vice president for academic affairs Andy Novobilski.
Education professor Kathleen Kingston is leading the way for Gannon's faculty. She has visited the American University of Madaba six times since taking a sabbatical for the spring 2012 semester to focus on the project.
The two schools could also share academic programs. Because American University of Madaba only offers undergraduate studies, Taylor said Gannon might make its master's of business administration program available to students in Jordan.
Taylor said the cooperation will extend beyond the university into a greater community of K-12 Catholic schools in Jordan.
He said it will also be a great opportunity for an "interfaith dialogue" with the predominantly Muslim country.

"I'm on cloud nine," Roe tells PEOPLE. "We're going to choose an engagement ring together but for now I'm wearing this, which has huge sentimental value to me."
Fashion Star: Is It a Hit or a Miss?

Well, that was interesting.
NBC's much-anticipated Fashion Star premiered Tuesday night, and it's definitely the spectacle we were promised.
The show started with a racy dance number that led into the first runway presentation, featuring looks from two contestants. It continued this way, showcasing three signature pieces from each designer, leaving the decision of who would stay in the competition – and who would go home – to buyers from H&M, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's.
The main focus of Tuesday's premiere was the runway show. Mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos had limited roles. There weren't many vignettes on the designers' back stories, and workroom drama was kept to a minimum.
Not that episode wasn't without any tension: Menswear designer Nicholas Bowes caused a bit of controversy when he dismissed Simpson and Richie's critiques of his trite motorcycle jackets and disjointed styling, saying he didn't value their opinions because they're women who design for other women.

Fashion Star premieres Tuesday on NBC, and though it's drawing obvious comparisons to Project Runway, Nicole Richie insists it's different.
"This is something that's never been done before," she tells PEOPLE in the video above. "We're talking about the epitome of immediate fashion." Case in point: the clothes seen on the show's runway will be available immediately online and in-store at H&M, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's. The stores' buyers are the judges while Richie, Jessica Simpson and designer John Varvatos all serve as mentors to the 14 contestants.
So what's it like for Varvatos – who's designed for stars like Gerard Butler and Chace Crawford – to work with lovely ladies like Richie, Simpson and host Elle Macpherson? Richie answers that one with grin. "I kept having to slap the smile off his face every time Elle would walk on the stage," she jokes.

By the hundreds and thousands they come—beaded-down baby boomers, would-be hippies sporting tie-dye T-shirts and peace symbols, toddler-toting yuppies, even kids raised on Madonna and Prince wondering what all the fuss is about. Never mind the extra pounds and shiny domes spotted among the crowds. These folks are trooping to fairs, festivals, park concerts and nightclub gigs for a nostalgic trip to the pop 1960s, a time when the beat was groovy, love lyrics mellow and the surf forever up. From Saratoga Springs, N. Y., where the manic Monkees and the Grass Roots wooed the faithful last July, to the San Bernardino, Calif, desert, where Canned Heat cooled aging Woodstockers with their dreamy, psychedelic rhythms, the move to the past is on. Whether it's the Righteous Brothers blending "Unchained Melody" or Frankie Avalon warbling one of his beach-bikini hits, the middle-aged rockers are back. "I'm just having a ball this time around," says Paul Revere of the madcap Raiders. "What really amazes me are all those kids out there mouthing the words. Why, I've got socks older than some of them." On these pages is a look at some of those oldies but goodies who are currently wowing a public yearning for yesteryear.
Monkee biz blitz
Twenty years after they went ape on the pop charts (nine Top 20 singles in 1966-68), the goof ball, made-for-TV Monkees are still a scream. Midway through a successful, seven-month U.S. concert tour, David Jones, 40, Micky Dolenz, 41, and Peter Tork, 44—minus Monkee-mate Michael Nesmith, 42, now a busy film producer who passed on the tour—are up to the same tricks and shtiks. When not performing such hits as Last Train to Clarksville and I'm a Believer, Jones still plays Prince Charming, Dolenz the funnyman and Tork the foil. The combination works. Earlier this year, when MTV began airing 46 episodes of the original series, the shows proved so popular that they had to be broadcast several times a day. That exposure boosted interest in the current tour enormously. Four recent LP reissues by Rhino Records, all selling well, plus the chart-climbing new single That Was Then, This Is Now, have also fanned the latest Monkeemania flame. "John Lennon was the first to make the comparison between the Monkees and the Marx Brothers, and he was damn right," says drummer Dolenz, a TV producer-director in Britain. "I see us gravitating toward summer comedy features. One movie a year for the next God knows how many years...The Monkees on the Moon, The Monkees Under the Earth, The Monkees Save the Earth."
Those plans may be complicated by the intention to launch a fresh weekly TV show featuring a new Monkees foursome. (Mike Nesmith's son Jason, as well as the sons of old-time rockers Donovan, Frankie Avalon and Bobby Darin are among the more than 2,000 hopefuls who have auditioned for the project.) "Ultimately it makes no difference to us," Dolenz says of plans for the show. "We are the Monkees—always will be."
Reveling in the response to their current tour, the trio brought along so many of their kids(they have nine in all, ages 1 to 17) that they hired a magician to keep them entertained backstage during the group's New York gig. Jones, who has enjoyed a successful acting career in Britain since the group disbanded in 1968, believes the latest Monkee madness best answers early critics who called them a "plastic, prefab package." He argues: "All I can say is the plastic must have been made of pretty strong material because it's still lasting."
Surf City's up again
Jan and Dean started out in 1958, soon becoming the '60s premier surf music duo and charting 13 Top 30 singles—like Surf City and Dead Man's Curve—by mid-1966. Then disaster struck. One day in 1966, while driving at 65 mph on L.A.'s Whittier Boulevard, Jan Berry hit a parked truck. The impact killed his three passengers, and Jan suffered such severe head injuries that it took him years to recover his speech and mobility. Now Jan and Dean Torrence, both 45, are trying to rekindle their musical partnership. Still, admits Jan: "When I talk I mess up once in a while. Sometimes it feels like I think one thing and then I say it a little differently. But I think it's important for me to try. It shows other brain-damaged persons hope."
When he's offstage, bachelor Jan works with similarly afflicted patients at an L.A. rehab hospital, while Dean, recently divorced, designs album covers for the likes of Linda Ronstadt, the Beach Boys and Anne Murray. "This has really been our best year ever," says Jan. "I think people are a little fed up with all the shouting that goes on in today's music. Our music, even though it's been around for a while, is a great alternative."
Dean, who lives in a castlelike stone house just below the "Hollywood" hillside sign, says the challenge has gone out of performing the old songs, but "hyping the crowd" remains fun. After the frenzy of putting together their current tour, Dean adds, "I'm still hoping to settle into real estate someday and lead a relatively normal life. No more constant phone calls."
Daddy-o's re-groom
Touring as "The Golden Boys of Bandstand," onetime teen idols Fabian Forte, 43, Bobby Rydell, 44, and Frankie Avalon, 45, have an opening bit of business—flipping coins to see who sings first. "Listen to Frankie," deadpans Fabe. "He's the oldest." Then, cornball jokes aside, the three casually dressed Philadelphia crooners treat their mostly middle-aged, wistful fans to a 2½-hour medley of favorites, like Rydell's Volare, Avalon's Dede Dinah and Fabian's Turn Me Loose.
Sure, Rydell's three-inch blond pompadour has dropped down to a thinning, gray hairline, Avalon has become pop to eight kids—12 to 22—and Fabian no longer incites lovesick teenyboppers to tear the clothes off his back. No matter; they still have 'em swooning. Says 46-year-old fan Betty Whitcomb, a Queens hairstylist: "This music just reminds me of more innocent, happier times, when record hops and kissing in the backseat were still a big thrill." Barbara Diamond, a 35-year-old Brooklyn medical assistant, adds, "I like today's music, but I love the oldies. I guess I'm just into mellow, bubble-gum music."
Avalon, who has been on the nightclub circuit since filming his run of Beach films in the '60s, thinks new and older fans like the show because it's "for people who've been pushed aside.... Pictures, records, TV, everything is youth oriented, but a lot of people still want to have their own heroes to identify with." Frankie, who now lives with his family in the San Fernando Valley, adds that the three golden boys welcome their heftier, aging-hero roles. "It's so nice to see how Bobby has filled out," pokes Frankie.
Twice-married Fabian, who had his own oldies revue before signing up for 80 shows this year with "the guys," admits with a tired smile that some things on the concert scene haven't changed since he had his first gold record at 17. "Those girls still scream," he says. "I don't know why—they're my daughter's age." Rydell, who lives near Philly with his wife and two children—12 and 17—hastens to add, "All of our wives are very understanding ladies. They know we're out on the road to bring home the grocery money."
Soul mates soar
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, the erstwhile nattily dressed embodiment of "white soul" as the Righteous Brothers, are coming back as Southern Cal suburban daddies, complete with open shirts, gold chains, white slacks and sneaks. Oh yes, add to Bill a gold watch, a gold bracelet and a wedding band ringed with diamond chips—a far cry from the streamlined look they had in the '60s when a black fan first tagged the two "brothers" as "Righteous," a moniker that stuck.
Two years ago they opened the Hop, their own down-home, beer-and-oldies club in Fountain Valley. The locals loved such Righteous retreads as You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', so the pair opened a second club in Lake-wood and also took their show on the road—with sold-out results across the country. "People came to us," explains Hatfield, 46, who lives with his second wife, Linda Torrison, 34, and their two small children in Corona del Mar. "We were doing fine with our clubs, but when promoters are willing to pay a high price, sure, we'd go on the road for a bit."
On nearby Balboa Island, Medley, 45, lives with Paula Vasu, 35, his longtime girlfriend who recently became his fourth wife. With a baby due in February and a grown son from his first marriage, Medley admits that, whatever success comes from singing, "this is it for me. I'm married to Paula in my personal life and Bobby in my professional life. No more messin' around."
Revere raids on
From behind his organ (built into the front of an Edsel), Paul Revere warns the packed Reno audience, "We're going back to the '60s tonight, and if you don't like the '60s, get your ass out of here." Then the rock 'n' roll zany in the three-cornered hat and minuteman uniform revs into his hits like Kicks and Indian Reservation. Throughout the hour-long set, he blows whistles, flashes the headlights, slips on rubber masks of E.T. and Ronald Reagan and cracks sour jokes with his five-member band—not the original Raiders but a group he's been with for more than a decade. "I'm paid to have fun," says the 48-year-old mad hatter. "It's like stealing money every night."
To keep fit for his 300 gigs a year, Revere recently quit smoking and lost 15 pounds. When he's not on the road, he tries to cool out with second wife Sydney Mohrman at one of their two Idaho homes. "There was a time when it wasn't cool to have fun and be crazy," he says. "Everything had to be heavy and dead serious and it was a depressing time out there. Now, rock concerts are fun again. Kids enjoy dressing up; cool cars are back."
As for how long a rocker edging 50 can go on, Revere beams, "I can't tell, but who ever knew George Burns would be hip at 90?"
Noone's not alone
Peter Noone, or "Herman" of Herman's Hermits, regrets he didn't name his band Peter Noone and the Hermits before the British group scored with 11 Top 10 mid-'60s hits like I'm Henry VIII, I Am and Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter. "I've been battling that name for 20 years now," says Noone, 38, adding that the misnomer was originally a printer's mistaken spelling of Sherman, Peter's nickname taken from a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon character. It was 1963 in Manchester, he says, "and we couldn't afford to have our name cards re-done."
By 1971, with the group disbanded, Noone embarked on an up-and-down acting and singing career, eventually, in 1982, playing in the Broadway production of The Pirates of Penzance. Now he sings solo with a touring group of '60s rockers. "The problem I have is that I really want to act," he confesses. "I have to invent situations that allow me to get up there and sing those old Hermits songs." Still, his greatest joy these days is Natalie, the daughter his wife, Mireille, 38, delivered last July. "We waited 17 years to have a baby," says Noone, at his Santa Barbara home. "The time was finally right."

BATON ROUGE -- LSU baseball it appears, is back.
Not just back in the College World Series where the Tigers take on Virginia at 6 p.m. Saturday at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., but back in the national spotlight, amongst college baseball's elite.
Back where it belongs.
It has taken Coach Paul Mainieri three years to re-establish what Skip Bertman implanted through 17 years at the helm. Sure, the Tigers made a late season run to Omaha last year, but this season has validated the notion that it was no fluke.
More on LSU in CWS

DeShazier: Les Miles had hand in Jared Mitchell's success
Anthony Ranaudo will start Saturday against Virginia
LSU baseball went wire-to-wire in 2009. It regained its rep and earned a No. 1 preseason ranking, which it holds today, and is one of the favorites to bring home the title.
It filled up its grand, new ballpark with a school-record 403,000 fans through 37 home dates and five more in the postseason.
That is what many Tigers fans expected when Mainieri, a one-time player at LSU, was hired.
"Skip brought me here to get the program back online for the great tradition and history," said Mainieri after LSU's 5-3 super regional victory against Rice that sent LSU to the CWS for the 15th time. "They had plans to build this beautiful ballpark. The administration we have now supports us unbelievably. We have so many assets going for us, there's no reason why we shouldn't be one of the premier programs in the country."
Even with all the resources LSU offers -- a rabid, almost football-like fan following, a rich history, commitment to the sport and the backing of one of college baseball's icons (Bertman) -- it couldn't sustain itself on auto-pilot.
The program achieved some success -- two 0-2 trips to Omaha -- before finally foundering under the guidance of former Bertman protege and successor Smoke Laval. To get LSU back on track, Bertman then turned to Mainieri, the guy he had his eye on all the while.
Mainieri has the knowledge, the people skills, the toughness and the discipline to handle a job that might carry too much weight for other coaches. Bertman noticed that everywhere Mainieri worked -- St. Thomas Aquinas, Air Force, Notre Dame -- set victory records during his tenure.
Bertman also noticed a little something the Regular Joe might not notice.
"He has what I refer to as "magic dust,"gut," Bertman said. "His gut feelings, or instincts, are terrific. The great ones have that. The good ones practice hard and do all the other things, but you got to have that gut.
"This is what I mean: He plays player X, he responds. The next day he sees the wind blowing a certain way and plays player Y instead of X and player Y responds. Paul has that magic dust."
That is what led Mainieri to make some bold moves which have panned out despite the head-scratching it may have caused among LSU fans, the media and even his own players. He benched returning starters Derek Helenihi and Leon Landry in favor of freshman Tyler Hanover and Mikie Mahtook, a move that immediately paid dividends.
A more shocking move was sliding shortstop DJ LeMahieu, who had not played any another position and started 67 games for LSU there last year, to second base to get freshman shortstop Austin Nola into the lineup. Second baseman Ryan Schimpf, who had started 65 games at second last year, went to the outfield.
LSU is 23-4 since that shuffle and 51-16 overall. Case closed.
Such is the trust he has in his instincts, which he thought would give LSU better defensive play. He thought about the move for weeks and discussed it with the players involved before pulling the trigger.
"He's a big player's coach," said Schimpf. "He does everything wholeheartedly and will always explain why. I trust him and know he's going to do the right thing. He treats us like we're his own kids. He doesn't keep anything from us, and that's what a lot of the guys like."
Part of that magic dust is Mainieri's confidence and people skills. Rather than be wary of the expectations of coaching at LSU, he's embraced them, secure in his own abilities to go with a neverending sunny disposition.
"Coach cares about us as much as our parents do," senior pitcher Louis Coleman said. "You see it in his actions. It's never fake. What you see is what you get."
Mainieri said that attribute comes from one of the first lessons he learned about being a coach from his father, Hall of Fame junior college coach Demie Mainieri.
"It's not about me; it's all about the kids," Mainieri said. "It's always been about the kids. I grew up the son of a coach who taught me from Day 1 it's all about the kids, and that will never change."
Mainieri doesn't coddle his players. Hanover found that out in the SEC Tournament when he missed a bunt sign and grounded into a double play. Jared Mitchell was on the receiving end of Mainieri's wrath after a bad decision on an attempted stolen base.
Much like his football counterpart Les Miles, Mainieri also has kept the pipeline of standout players flowing to LSU.
"In my mind, for the total package, he's the best coach in America," Bertman said.
Mainieri is right where he's always wanted to be. He agreed to pay a $450,000 buyout to leave Notre Dame, but not with the attitude that he where he was going would be an easy place to be.
"For me the challenge was getting great kids and great coaches around us," he said. "I knew we were going to have great support. Everybody does their job, we just have to go out and execute. You're not going to go to Omaha every year, and you're certainly not going to win the national championship every year.
"I'd like to work for another decade, see LSU go to Omaha several times and win several championships. You'll never see me satisfied and content, but I do feel very proud right now of what we have going because of the way our kids represent the university and the way we play. We're going to go to Omaha and do the very best we can and hopefully bring back the big trophy."

text: I think that Anthony Colpo, while being abrasive and egotistical does have some great points in his book. His book is a good resource for weight management. Anthony doesn't however concern himself with inflammation and the negative effects of gains and bad oils. I'm also an IF person and he loves to rant against IF. His point that customizing one's fat and carbohydrate intake for their specific needs is very valid. A low carbohydrate approach can in fact be a great tool in losing a lot of weight but that doesn't mean that all carbohydrates are bad and that athletes need to avoid them.

Question: In patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), is recombinant interferon more effective than placebo for reducing clinical relapse and disease progression?
Data sources: Studies were identified by searching 3 databases; hand searching references in identified trials and symposia reports (1990 to 2000); and contacting trialists and 5 drug manufacturers.
Study selection: Studies were included if they were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of α- or β-recombinant interferons given subcutaneously or intramuscularly to patients who had a diagnosis of MS and who were in a relapsing-remitting phase (i.e., ≥ 1 exacerbation followed by complete or partial recovery).
Data extraction: Reviewers independently extracted data on participant characteristics, intervention (type of interferon, dose, duration of treatment, and follow-up), outcome measures, use of corticosteroids, need for hospitalization, side effects, and adverse events. Primary outcomes were the number of patients with exacerbations during scheduled treatment and follow-up, the number of patients whose disease progressed during the first 2 years of treatment, mean change in disability score, and the number of patients unable to walk without aid at the end of follow-up.
Main results: 7 trials (n = 1215) met the selection criteria. Overall, 240 patients (20%) were excluded after randomization or were lost to follow-up. Meta-analysis showed that patients receiving interferon had a reduced risk for new exacerbations after 1 and 2 years of treatment (Table); however, at 2 years, the result became nonsignificant when interferon-treated patients who dropped out were assumed to have had exacerbations {relative risk increase (RRI) 11%, 95% CI −27 to 68}*. Fewer patients who received interferon had disease progression over the first 2 years of treatment (Table), but this result became nonsignificant when interferon-treated patients who dropped out were assumed to have progressed {RRI 31%, CI −40 to 189}*. Patients who received interferon also had lower disability scores at 2 years than did patients who received placebo (2 trials, n = 618, weighted mean difference 0.25, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.46). No data were available for the number of patients able to walk unaided at 2 years. Patients receiving interferon had a higher risk for flu-like symptoms, fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headache, injection site reactions, and hair loss (all P≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: In patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, recombinant interferon treatment results in a modest reduction in exacerbations during the first 2 years of treatment.

The body of Allen "Randy" Smith, 68, of Butler, Pa., was found Tuesday in a wooded area off Blockville Watts Flats Road in Ashville, where he had been hunting.
A call to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office at about 3 p.m. prompted an investigation, which led to the discovery of the body.
Smith apparently had been in a tree stand, which collapsed. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

When you've got (arguably) the best team in baseball, the best manager in baseball and the best general manager in baseball, the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline would seem to be a rather irrelevant date on the calendar.
But if there's one thing that we've learned about the Oakland A's under the stewardship of GM Billy Beane, it's that the team rarely passes up an opportunity to improve, regardless of its place in the standings.
Yet it can be difficult to keep track of all the rumors surrounding the team, especially if you're hanging out at O.co Coliseum, where dodging puddles of raw sewage is sure to demand the bulk of your attention.
That's where Bleacher Report comes in.
Keep it here for the most up-to-the-minute rumblings about the A's, along with analysis and everything else that comes with it. While the post date will always show as July 1, simply click to the next slide to see the latest from the rumor mill as the A's look to clinch their third consecutive AL West crown.

The bulk of Penn State's 2014 recruiting class isn't on campus yet, but the players who are have already been put to work.
In January, the Nittany Lions welcomed five early enrollees—defensive tackle Tarow Barney, quarterback Michael O'Connor, wide receiver De'Andre Thompkins, defensive tackle Antoine White and offensive tackle Chasz Wright. All five are currently taking classes and participating in spring practices under the tutelage of new head coach James Franklin.
While the adjustment period has been easier for some, the group in general has done a relatively good job. Some have even raised enough eyebrows to warrant consideration for regular playing time come August.
When grading how each player has performed this spring, those two factors were taken into consideration—how well they've acclimated themselves to life in college, and their level of play on the field.
Here's how each early enrollee has fared so far this spring.

Team Introduces Innovative Pledge Program to Benefit 17 Charities
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday introduced their newest community initiative, the Become a Hero! pledge program, which enables fans to support an array of local and national charities by sponsoring the on-ice performances of their favorite players.
By visiting the teams redesigned web site at griffinshockey.com, fans can select one of 20 Griffins players and make a pledge for each goal, assist, point, win or save he accumulates during the 2004-05 regular season. Fans will designate their pledge to benefit either a charity specifically chosen by that player or the Grand Rapids Griffins Youth Foundation.
As a result of the fans generosity and the players performances, 17 different charities will benefit directly from the success the Griffins have on the ice this season. A complete list of players and their chosen charities can be found below, while information and links to each charitys web site can be found here.
Pledge amounts for each player begin at $0.01 per save, $0.25 per point, $0.50 per assist or win, and $1.00 per goal, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to charity. By making a pledge, fans agree to a minimum commitment of $5 toward the selected charity, and they may choose to cap their maximum donation at $50. At the conclusion of the season, fans will be invoiced by the particular charity for their total donation, which is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Many Griffins players chose their charities as a result of circumstances that have directly affected their lives. For instance, Danny Groulx, who is sponsoring the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan, suffered from the disorder as a child. Eric Manlow, who lost two childhood friends to muscular dystrophy, has selected MDA, while Peter Vandermeers memories of his grandpa inspire his support of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan.
My moms dad died of kidney disease when I was about 10 years old, and he was really close to me, dear to my heart, Vandermeer said. He taught me and my brothers how to go fishing and how to take care of ourselves out in the bush. If theres some way that I can help out so that somebody else can spend a little more time with their grandpa, then I think its worthwhile. I worked with the kidney foundation back home in Alberta when I played junior, but this is a nice opportunity to get a chance to do something for my new home down here.
For more information about the Become a Hero! program or to make a pledge by phone, please call the Griffins office at (616) 774-4585 ext. 3046.

The Colts eeked out another comeback win on Sunday, this one a 27-23 win over the Titans.
The Colts are now 9-4, and have all but guaranteed a playoff spot, a phenomenal feat for a young patched-together team. Here were the Colts Authority staff's instant reactions to this one.
Kyle Rodriguez: T.Y. Hilton with the 36-yard catch-and-run, just blew by people there.
Seth Olsen is awful. Luck is feeling the pressure early again this week, looks like it's messing with him again. They need to get Olsen out of there.
Greg Cowan: Colts came out extremely flat after their miracle comeback against the Packers. After today's first half performance, they're 2-for-2. Not sure what that means or why it's happening. Colts are at home, Pagano is in the stadium, and the Titans aren't good, so there's a chance for a comeback, but I'm not feeling good about it. Not a lot of good to take away from their performances on either side of the ball.
Kyle Rodriguez: Only good thing is that they get the ball at the beginning of the half, can make it a one score game.
Ben Savage: Was it the Jets last time? Thought at the time it was a case of Rex Ryan defense and the Shonn Greene/Zbikowski deal. Think you might be onto something. As far as this game is concerned, I'm pretty angry. Terrible performance all round.
I'm a bit concerned about this team in the long-term, in that I think we're Seahawking ourselves by making the playoffs. Desperately need to re-stock with premium talent, and Luck's probably going to stop it happening. Gonna need some good drafting.
Josh Boeke: I don't think anyone wants my thoughts on this first half. I'm fuming. The pick-6 was a blown call but the throw never should have happened. Chris Johnson fumbles but BA doesn't challenge after losing the first one (an inconsequential 8 yard completion) and getting gun shy.
The offensive line has never been worse, and that's almost impossible to believe. The secondary is getting shredded by Jake f'ing Locker (Vaughn is a high school level CB). People were fearing an emotional letdown after that big win (ala the Jets game) but this has been something else entirely. It's so bad I'd almost play Stanton to avoid Luck being seriously injured (only half in jest do I say that, it's embarrassing. I knew Seth Olsen was bad but this is shocking).
We've had amazing second half turn arounds before, here's hoping for another one (but I'm not optimistic after that first half).
Kyle Rodriguez: Cassius Vaughn is seriously the worst. I have no idea why he continues to start. I can't imagine Butler being any worse.
Ben Savage: Said it on Twitter, will say it here. As long as Vaughn continues to start, i'll continue to hold the defensive coaches in the very lowest esteem. He's 8 yards guaranteed, he offers nothing in terms of potentially intercepting the ball, and he's an average tackler at best.
Pagano was originally a DB coach, and while he's got a hell of a lot to be focusing on right now, he's in the stadium. Surely he can see the standard of play, surely..
Regarding the insane cap space, I've never been one to bank on Free Agency, think it's Nate's doing. If we have another offseason like we did last year, I'm with you. I don't think we can replicate that sort of drafting though, too good.
Josh Boeke: Well they're going to need to spend a lot just to reach the minimum, it's got to be spent on someone.
Kyle Rodriguez: Great running by Ballard on that drive, just like last week to start the third quarter. Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne showing up on long third downs, Luck was 2-2 on that drive.
Greg Cowan: I love to whine about officiating, so today isn't going to stop me! I have no clue what Pass Interference is anymore, and based on how it's enforced, I'm guessing the refs don't, either. I'm not sure the "fade" to Donnie Avery (more on that in a minute) was PI – I'd have to look at it again – but on the insane Luck-to-Wayne 3rd-down conversion, Wayne was being pulled down from behind while the ball was in the air, no call.
Now, as for the fade to Donnie Avery: WHY? He's Donnie Avery. Holy cow, I don't understand Arians thought process a lot of times.
Kyle Rodriguez: From George Bremer on Twitter: "Outstanding defense from Cassius Vaughn forces a punt"
Never thought I'd hear someone say that. #Mayans
Greg Cowan: Hilton is a threat every time he touches the ball. Amazing pick. I love him. Even if he tops out at a #3 (which I don't think he will), he's a valuable player as that big-play guy in the passing game and his return ability. Awesome draft pick by Grigson, maybe the 2nd best pick in the draft? (Hard to pick between Hilton and Allen).
These referees are the worst. The next person that talks about how bad the replacement refs were should be sent to mars.
Kyle Rodriguez: Pat McAfee is a boss. He's having a great year and just had as good of a coffin-corner punt as possible, rolling out of bounds at the 1 1/2.
Cassius Vauhgn. Wow, made a play. How big was that Pat McAfee punt now? What a crazy sequence of plays.
Ben Savage: Now, I look a bit of an idiot for lambasting Vaughn so badly, and fair play to the guy for making a play. However, and it's a big however, the read and throw from Locker was almost as bad a decision as Luck's earlier on.
Kyle Rodriguez: Holding call on Fokou… questionable. Waiting for Greg's meltdown in 3…2…1…
Greg Cowan: The meltdown happened in real life. These refs are a joke. Non-holding calls on the Titans OL, the Fokou hold that wasn't, the pick-6 that wasn't, the PIs on the Titans that they are missing, the false start on the Colts that they missed (game changer), they have no clue what they're doing.
Ben Savage: Agreed, it's quite pathetic. Worst officiating I've seen in a long time. Joke.
Greg Cowan: This drive… I have no words. The refs should be fired. I only wrote fired because I want to maintain my composure. The Colts have LEGALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY stopped the Titans twice on this drive, but the incompetence of the Refs have extended it. It will likely result in a touchdown now. If the Colts lose, it will come down to the pick-6 THAT WAS NOT A PICK-6 and the drive that ended 5 minutes ago.
I'm so angry. Colts stopped 'em 3 times! Davis dropped an easy interception in the end zone. Locker gained extra yardage on a scramble because Colts players RIGHTFULLY afraid to hit him along the sidelines, lest Pete Moreli give the Titans 14-points as makeup for tackling the QB.
Ben Savage: Apparently the refereeing in the Browns game is almost as bad, so there we go. At least we aren't the only ones.
Josh Boeke: I agree with all these points. On the bright side, at least Davis was in position for a pick, it's something at least.
Kyle Rodriguez: Davis is actually playing really well today, outside of that one long pass to Britt. Really tough in run support and screens, and good coverage overall.
Ballard is running really well since the first quarter, where I thought he was struggling. The draws are working perfectly.
Kyle Rodriguez: Donnie Avery is bad and should feel bad. Great scramble and throw by Luck should have been a 36-yard touchdown pass.
Greg Cowan: I've said this a lot this year: Luck eschews the easy first down with his feet to take a chance at a low% play. I'm not arguing with the read, it was correct, but a bomb to Donnie Avery is a 50-50 proposition at best this year. Also, I realize that this is a hindsight thing, but the Colts just haven't connected on a lot of those 'right read, bad outcome' plays this year.
Ben Savage: This game isn't good for my blood pressure. Players and officials taking it in turns to screw up.
Greg Cowan: Colts run D has turned a corner, in my mind. It's not horrible.
Kyle Rodriguez: In fairness, it's been pretty good all season outside of the Jets game.
Ben Savage: Uncalled defensive holding on the Butler INT there, gotta be honest.
Josh Boeke: I love Vontae Davis, which is easier on a team with so many bad corners. He may not be great but he's good at least and that's a lot right now.
Regarding the bomb to Avery, it was a perfect pass. Should have been a TD, but I know what you mean. As I type that he throws a 30 yard attempt on 3rd and 4 and doesn't complete it. Just get the first down man.
Greg Cowan: I love taking shots. I love it more when it works, so clearly I'm guilty of some confirmation bias here, but honestly, I like offenses that pick up 1st downs. Get enough of 'em, it'll lead to 7. The Colts needed one more 1st down there to make the Titans uncomfortable, even if they wound up settling for a FG (either 2 more minutes off the clock or all 3 time outs)
Kyle Rodriguez: I liked the one to Avery, but the throw to Wayne was a bad decision. He wasn't as open and the situation is different here; you need to take time off of the clock.
Really? Cassius Vaughn keeps coming up with big plays? WHAT IS GOING ON??
Ben Savage: That was great from the officials. CJ takes the handoff and comes up clearly a yard short. The refs for some reason signal first-down, and the Titans, not realising this terrible error, quicksnap it and find themselves @ 2nd and 10.
Kyle Rodriguez: Best scenario possible with BAL, PIT, and CIN all losing today. The Colts are inching closer and closer to a BAL-IND matchup in the playoffs.
Scott Kacsmar: Keys to the victory: defense finally made some takeaways, and Andrew Luck just did what he does best: situational football. Two big conversions to Reggie Wayne on third and long to set up one touchdown, the defense gave them the lead with a pick 6, then he came through in the 4th quarter again with help from Adam Vinatieri.
That formula will work. Maybe not against a playoff team, but it's another hard-earned win.
Marcus Dugan: Post game thoughts: This team has found ways to squeak by against middle to lower tier teams. I think in a year, they'll be winning these games convincingly and holding their own against the contenders.
But none of that will happen if Seth Olsen is starting. I'm sure he's a great guy, who is better than I could ever be at football, but that's not enough to be an NFL offensive lineman charged with protecting the franchise quarterback.
