I had the great privilege of speaking Sunday night to Cleveland High School's graduating class. My remarks follow:
Good evening.
I fell asleep once, middle of the night, as I took the exit ramp off Interstate-70 in Bethesda, Maryland. When I opened my eyes, my car was drifting off the exit to the right ... even as I passed a station wagon that had been abandoned on the left shoulder.
I once tried to pop the pin out of a door hinge by sticking a flat-edge screwdriver under the cap of the pin, then -- gripping the screwdriver with both hands -- pushing up with all my might. When the blade slipped off the cap, all that momentum brought the screwdriver up like a runaway train, striking this small bone ... a quarter-inch from my left eye.
And in a story I've never told my wife, I took my oldest child, Michael, on a jaunt down to the southern Oregon coast when he was all of two. Michael was belted into a car seat in the back of my Nissan sedan when I drove out onto one of those glorious promenades between Gold Beach and Brookings, perched on a cliff high above the ocean.
I parked with my front wheels this far from the low curb that separated the asphalt from a 10-foot wide swath of grass and a drop of 100 feet. I don't remember what distracted me between the time I turned off the ignition and the moment I stepped out of the car, but it was enough that I forget to put the car in park or pull up the hand brake.
What I do remember is standing there and watching, paralyzed and dumbfounded, as the car - and my son -- rolled forward, climbed almost to the top of that low curb and the point of no return ... then dropped back down into the parking lot.
In more ways than you know, I'm lucky to be here tonight.
And if I'm lucky enough to leave you with something you remember, I'm only returning the favor. During your sophomore and junior years, I spent Thursday mornings in your library with a group of Cleveland students - especially Hannah and Joanna, Ariel and Zoe - who could write as well - okay, almost as well - as Eli Bixby plays the cello.
I began tonight with a brief recap of some of the stupidest things I've ever done because I believe we spend a great deal of our lives a quarter-inch from total disaster.
That is not a reason to shy away from screwdrivers or to inch through life with one hand on the parking brake, but it is cause, I think, to remain terribly humble ... and occasionally heed the suggestions of the slow learners who came before you.
I have 10 of those suggestions. Ten things I wish I'd figured out when I was 17.
(1) Every writing assignment you get in college is a trick to get you to reveal who you are. And you will be graded on a different curve in class, as in life, if you're willing to share.
(2) Err on the side of charity when you examine people's motives. Don't mistake for malice that which is better explained by incompetence.
(3) That high-school boyfriend or girlfriend? Kiss 'em good-bye. You can't go off to college - or your next destination - if you leave your heart in a jar in southeast Portland. You can't afford the distraction.
(4) If you're lacking an attitude, you could do far worse than to adopt the basic coda of journalism: Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.
(5) Study abroad. It will change everything, especially the degree of confidence with which you confront the unknown.
(6) I've long thought that your generation will finally be the one that figures out that differences in sexual orientation aren't that big a deal. But that process might be accelerated if you would stop using "gay" -- as in "That's so gay" -- as your casual, catch-all slur for all the things you don't understand.
(7) At least once each year, watch "Shawshank Redemption," if only to sit with Morgan Freeman at the edge of that big hayfield near Buxton, Maine, and hear Tim Robbins tell him, "Hope is a good thing, perhaps the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
(8) Gravitate toward things that are bigger than you are, not smaller. Faith, rather than fear. Mercy, not pettiness. The friends who are encouraged when you are at your best, not at your worst.
(9) If I was forced to leave you with one word, it would be this: Focus. Focus on the here-and-now. Stay committed to the task at hand rather than drifting, dreamlike, into the abyss of all that's left to do.
What so often separates the people who are successful, and those who spend their life in the hammock with a PBR Tall Boy is the speed with which you lock in on the defining passion of your life. It wasn't dumb luck that kept the wings steady when Chesley Sullenberger brought US Air 1549 down on the Hudson River in January. He'd been warming up for that act for 43 years. He discovered he loved to fly, that he was born to pilot a plane, when he was a high-school kid in Texas. He was properly focused until the day when it made all the difference in the world.
(10) And what were you born to do? That's not an easy question to answer, but I yield to one of my favorite writers, Frederick Buechner. Vocation, he once wrote, comes from the Latin word "vocare" - to call - and means the work we are called to by God.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of voices whispering in your ear these days, and the trick is to find out which is the voice worth listening to between the grunt of your ego, the gasp of your pride and the grumbling of the madding crowd.
Maybe, just maybe, the work God calls you to is the work that (a) you most need to do; and (b) the world most needs to be done. Buechner puts it like this: "The work God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
That hunger is pretty intense, guys. I hope you have the gladness to match.

Schatz Gets 10th WoO Triumph
SPENCER, Iowa — Sometimes a little luck goes a long way.
For Donny Schatz, everything is going the right way. Schatz overcame a poor qualifying performance to capitalize in traffic on Friday at Clay County Fair Speedway, where he claimed his third trophy at the sixth annual Arnold Motor Supply Shootout.
It was his 10th World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature victory of the season and eighth consecutive top five, which helped extend his championship points advantage to a season-high 101 points.
"I hope it's not the peak," he said. "We've got a lot of racing left this year. There's a long way to go. There's a lot of season left and we're doing really good right now, so we want to keep ourself on a roll."
Schatz, who won the event in 2007 and 2008, began the night by qualifying 18th. He missed the inversion in the heat race, but caught a couple of breaks after starting on the inside of the third row.
Terry McCarl, who started one row in front of Schatz, was involved in an opening-lap crash. That moved Schatz up one row and after polesitter Scott Winters was called for starting too early, Schatz again advanced one row to take the green flag on the pole.
He finished second in his heat race, which gave him a spot in the dash. Schatz passed three cars in the dash and continued to move forward at the start of the feature.
Schatz quickly advanced into the top five while Lucas Wolfe jumped to the early lead from the pole. Craig Dollansky, who entered the event 72 points behind Schatz in the championship chase, had the quickest car early and he rode the cushion to the lead as he exited turn four on the sixth lap.
Traffic came into the equation two laps later and Wolfe was able to maneuver to the lead while Dollansky was slowed on the bottom in turn four. However, Dollansky regained the top spot on the ensuing lap and was in control until traffic claimed its first victim.
Jody Rosenboom spun in turn four on lap 17 as Dollansky was about to put him a lap down. Dollansky swerved to the top and tried to sneak between Rosenboom's stalling car and the wall, but he ended up smashed between.
Dollansky gave up the lead during the caution as he headed to the work area to fix the damage. Wolfe inherited the lead and following a failed restart when Kerry Madsen flipped off the track in turn two, Schatz advanced past Jason Sides for the runner-up position on lap 19.
Wolfe reached traffic on lap 25 and while Schatz closed the gap, Wolfe maintained the lead as he picked off a handful of cars. But on lap 29, traffic took its second victim. Wolfe was trapped on the bottom behind Chuck McGillivray and Davey Heskin, who were both already a lap down and were battling for 19 th place.
"I just made a mistake going to the bottom and followed two lapped cars that were having their own race," Wolfe said. "They both kind of missed the bottom and slowed down just enough that I had to wait on them in the corner.
"It was disappointing to lose so close to the end. Obviously it's hard enough to get in that position and make it the whole night there, to lose it on the last two laps. But it's hard to complain when Schatz beats you. They've been on a roll lately."
Schatz took advantage and pulled even as they exited turn two. His momentum carried him into the lead in turn three and Wolfe was unable to close within a car length on the final lap.
"He got caught in the wrong part of the race track and I was in the right," said Schatz, who has recorded seven wins and 17 top fives in the last 19 points races. "I managed to squeak on by there and didn't have much race left from there."
Steve Kinser made a late rally to round out the podium, earning his 25th top five of the season.
"I found me a little different spot than everybody else was running," he said. "Actually it was just through the middle. I just started momentuming the middle and got pretty fast actually."
Sides finished fourth and Cody Darrah drove from 11th to fifth.

George Parry is a former state and federal prosecutor practicing law in Philadelphia
Vast expanses of Philadelphia are crumbling, postindustrial wastelands bordered by neighborhoods ravaged by drugs and mindless violence. Our schools are failing, and revenue-producing private commerce is leaving as our feckless city government leads us on an economic death spiral of high taxes, excessive spending, and onerous government regulation.
So, when confronted by one of the nation's highest murder rates, rampant street crime, a declining economy, and an eroding tax base, to what should City Council devote its time and resources?

The Los Angeles Clippers selected forward Blake Griffin with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
Unfortunately, the former Oklahoma standout would injure his kneecap in the preseason, forcing him to miss the entire 2009-10 regular season.
Griffin finally made his long-awaited NBA debut this season and has proven to the league that he was well worth the wait. With his plethora of powerful dunks, he has quickly garnered fans across the country.
He already has two 40-point games under his belt and posted 27 consecutive double-doubles.
Here's a look at five former or current NBA players who Blake The Great compares to thus far.

Welcome to Spell Cabinet
This ritual is used to get someone out of your life that you just can't seem to get away from.
You'll need:
A string of hemp
A small dish
A red, black, gray or black candle with the wick removed
A cut burnt through to the candle's center.
Slip the hemp through the crevice in the candle, and, holding both ends of the string with one hand, begin to burn through the center of the wax, where the crevice starts. Channel energy into the candle based on what negative things the source has given or done to you. Then, as the wax cascades into two pieces and the hemp burns through, visualize yourself and the other source like the wax. Two separate bodies.
A regular circle needs to be cast for this ritual, and you have to make sure you
want no ties with this person again when the ritual's through.

Federal prosecutor will look into Kendrick Johnson case
By Michael Pearson and Victor Blackwell CNN | 10/31/2013, 1:52 p.m.
MACON, Georgia (CNN) -- Nearly 10 months after their son died, the parents of Kendrick Johnson are finally getting what they've been asking for: another investigation into the teen's mysterious death in the gym of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia.
Michael Moore, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, said Thursday that federal authorities will investigate the circumstances behind the death of Johnson, whose bloody body was found inside a rolled-up gym mat on January 11.
Johnson's family suspects the 17-year-old was murdered and that someone has tried to cover up evidence in the case.
While warning his jurisdiction is limited as a federal prosecutor, Moore said that after lengthy review of evidence collected by authorities and the family's own investigator that "sufficient basis exists" to warrant a formal review of the facts.
Should evidence gathered in the investigation warrant criminal or civil rights charges, he said he would recommend them.
"I will follow the facts wherever they lead. My objective is to discover the truth," he said.
In addition to suspicions of a coverup, the family's lawyer has also raised civil rights concerns, questioning whether officials in the predominantly white county took the investigation of an African-American teenager's death seriously enough. Authorities say they did.
"We're happy," Kendrick's mother, Jacquelyn Johson told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Monday. "The only thing we ever wanted was the truth."
CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin called the announcement "a significant development for this family and this case."
"Now you have the resources of the federal government, in particular the FBI," she told Blitzer. "With that type of resources directed at this investigation, there will be more answers to be found."
The announcement comes a day after a judge granted the family and CNN access to surveillance images and investigative files related to the case, which the Lowndes County sheriff's office had declared accidental.
CNN has been reporting on the case for months, uncovering new details of the teen's death and raising questions about the sheriff's office handling of the case.
Among other things, CNN obtained death-scene imagery that led outside exerts to question the official explanation that Kendrick had suffocated reaching for a sneaker.
On Monday, after a judge ordered county officials to release surveillance images and investigative files, Kendrick's father, Kenneth Johnson, said the family was pleased to finally be seeing progress in the case.
"We are happy to hear we are one step closer to the truth," he said.
A mysterious death
Authorities found Kendrick's body on January 11, wedged into a rolled-up wrestling mat in the high school gym.
Imagery obtained by CNN -- a 15-minute video and nearly 700 photos taken by sheriff's investigators -- show his body clad in jeans and layered orange and white T-shirts.
His face was bloated with pooled blood, some of which had poured out of his body, soaking his dreadlocks and spilling onto the floor.
Within 24 hours of finding the body, Lowndes County Sheriff Chris Prine announced that investigators had no reason to suspect foul play in the death.

Fri., 1:05pm: NAACP official says Steubenville rape defendant didn't get fair trial
March 29, 2013
STEUBENVILLE - The former president of the Steubenville Branch of the NAACP is refuting comments attributed to him in the Thursday edition of an Internet newspaper....

I suppose that after seeing the disgusting video it is possible that both of these young men were convicted in the court of public opinion.
But let's understand if that's true both were convicted by public opinion. Not just young Mr.Richmond simply because of his race.
And as we all know it didn't matter what public opinion might or might not have been regardless. There was no jury to form opinions or to reach a verdict.
Or perhaps Mr.Mayo has forgotten both were convicted and sentenced by the honorable Judge Lipps. So now it begs the question..... Is Mr.Mayo implying that Judge Lipps is a racist ?
Put the race card back in your pocket Mr.Mayo. Given the light sentences for the crime of rape it seems like Judge Lipps went out of his way to cut both offenders a pretty sweet break.
Sorry Mr.Mayo that's not racism by anyones standards with the exception of yourself.

You have got to be kidding! Looks like Royal just wants to make a name for himself and get his picture in the paper. LOOK MAYO, EVEN IF THE GIRL ACTS LIKE A WHORE, SHE DID NOT DESERVE WHAT HAPPENED TO HER THAT NIGHT. THIS BECOMES A MORE HEINOUS CRIME IF THE GIRL WAS ACTUALLY UNCONSCIOUS. These two got off EASY so I really don't know why the NAACP has to poke its ugly, disgusting nose into the issue. Just trying to stir up trouble AGAIN! I hope you let it go, Royal Mayo (sounds like some new salad dressing), you piece of garbage. God forbid we have to put up with Jackson or Sharpton.

Rape is rape. Is does not matter your race, age, intelligent factor, or your stupidity factor. It does not matter how or what you use. It does not matter if you are drunk, high, passed out. When you have someone tapping, watching, laughing, making comments and not doing anything about what is taking place, all are in the wrong. You can be a honor student, a drug user, a drunk. It does not matter if you come from a broken home, have money or poor. I believe anyone old enough, minor or not, to think that rape is ok and proceeds to do a immoral act on another person, should need no jury and sentanced. Evidence is evidence no matter who you are or where you came from. Everyone needs to understand, rape is rape, period!

Slate Run Tackle Shop told me other anglers had better success, but none on the day I was on the stream. No other anglers were nearby which added to the enjoyment!

A note from our submitter, J (thanks!):
Okay, I have to submit this guy. Not only is his Facebook page a litany of edgy statements about hating the environment, fuck the polar bears and carbon offsetting and hang all criminals, but he thinks he is a character because he comes out with misogynistic crap all the time. Even more annoying is that he screws up the '[Name] likes your status' meme with that rogue apostrophe.
Why am I friends with him? Because I work with him now and he added the entire team, including the manager, on the first day. Awkward. >:|
Awkward, indeed. Friending your coworkers on your first day of work and then letting your trashy, uneducated self all hang out Facebook style is like bringing a Swastika briefcase to the office or getting a white pride tattoo on your first day. To maintain a little bit of professionalism, let's start with at least spelling status updates right and avoiding topics like fucking polar bears. (WHO HATES POLAR BEARS?!?!) If you don't have anything non-idiotic to say, don't say anything at all. Nobody handed you the mic.
And remember the groups you join reveal a lot about your personality. And if your personality sucks, you need to hide the evidence. That's why I compulsively join groups like "Locks of Love," "Old-People Appreciation Day Should Be Every Day," and "I Love Puppies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It's an easy way to adjust your image when you're in need of some positive PR.
Or if you just want to disguise the fact that you're a total nut wipe.
Note: I cannot read the text in Keith's profile pic — can you? I'm dying to know what it says. Let's just assume, though, that it's fantastic. Any guesses?

WASHINGTON (AP) - To oust Saddam Hussein by covert means, the United States would have to rely on defecting Iraqi generals or Kurdish insurgents to defeat loyalist Iraqi military units, yet neither alternative is an appealing choice, say former CIA officials and other experts.
Saddam's internal security machine is so effective that it is unlikely any current generals could be brought to the U.S. side, analysts say.
And rebel forces are too weak to defeat Saddam loyalists on their own.
A defecting general who can muster his entire unit - preferably a full division or more of Iraqi troops - would be the ideal candidate for recruitment, the former officials said, although any single division would be vastly outnumbered.
Iraqi troops who are turned to the U.S. side could work in concert with U.S. forces to capture key command-and-control points, persuade other units to defect, and perhaps find and catch the Iraqi president.
"The internal Iraqi defectors - certainly those that are active-duty military - can be critical," said retired Rear Adm. Stephen Baker, a former naval operations chief for U.S. Central Command, which is in charge of units fighting Iraq. "They would be worth their weight in platinum."
But it is doubtful any generals would turn on Saddam.
"The generals are a hard nut to crack," said John Gannon, a former deputy director for intelligence at the CIA.
"To get (Saddam) with covert action is going to be very, very hard."
Saddam's penchant for executing military leaders he considers a threat is part of the problem, U.S. intelligence officials say.
If he hears of a potential defector among his top military commanders, it's unlikely that commander would survive long.
"No one currently inside is willing to act against Saddam because they are terrified they will betrayed," said Vince Cannistraro, a former CIA counterterrorism chief with experience in the Middle East.

I've seen people report this after trying the offline update tool. I would recommend to try and get back on the phone with support - 1800-4MY-XBOX. Please report back though if they do anything to fix you up or recommend and RMA so we can follow up with other users experiencing this issue.
Do you know what caused this? was it the update that came out last week or did it just error out after gaming?
Join us over on /r/xboxone at Reddit!
I had the same error after using "offline update tool" too!
In the xbox site, this error simply means that it is giving error in validating of the update! Does this buggy update is available??
I'm smelling a class action lawsuit coming down the pike soon. There are alot of unhappy people out there.... I will call support later, I will report what is told to me.
I was told to open a ticket to get RMA.... ya, I will take this turd back to gamestop, good thing I purchased a protection plan.
I had a feeling something like this was going to happen.... Nice quality control
first of all why did you purchase an XBOne anyways. that's your real problem

3 Ways To Mend A Broken Heart
Mending a broken heart may seem impossible. This is particularly true if you are in the midst of dealing with this situation. But guess what? You can mend and get over a broken heart if you know what you are doing. This is not to say that you can do this in a day's time, but soon enough you will be back on track and enjoying life if you take the proper steps.
Listed below are three of the best ways to mend a broken heart:
- Don't feel bad for yourself.
This may sound difficult to do, but it is something you have to try nonetheless. If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself it is going to take much longer for your broken heart to heal. Force yourself to go out, no matter where it is, even if you feel like laying around and being depressed.
- Talk to others.
Believe it or not, this may be the best way to mend a broken heart. Everybody in this situation feels alone because they just lost somebody they cared about. For this reason, you need to make sure that you have somebody to talk to. No matter if you talk with a friend, family member, or doctor this is a great way towards mending your broken heart.
- Find somebody new.
If you want to mend a broken heart you should find somebody new to share your life with. This does not mean you should rush to the bar and start a relationship with the first guy and girl you see. But it does mean that you should be open to dating and seeing where things go. Once you find somebody new it is safe to say that your heart will begin to heal.
If you need to mend a broken heart you should consider the three tips above. By following them you will be well on your way to starting the healing process.

Paul Verizzo
(The recipe is at the end, the road to it is about some sauce philosophies and defending my choice of sweetener.)
There are many styles, variations, and regional styles of barbecuing. One common denominator is sauce, all have a sauce or a dry rub. Some are cooked onto the meat, others, like Texas, its added afterwards. Yeah, weird.
Almost all (outside of the Carolinas) sauces have some element of sweet and sour, sugar and vinegar, in some proportion. The sugar component obviously makes for a sweet sauce; but when cooked onto the meat another flavor is made because of the carmelization of the sugar. Its what makes Kansas City style BBQ so good! No sugar, no desired results.
Commercial sauces are usually loaded with sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup. For the diabetic or the person just wanting to minimize sugars and carbohydrates, this can be a real challenge. My goal was to create a rich tomato based, sweet-sour BBQ sauce without the usual sugar and fructose. Table sugar, sucrose, is half fructose. There is no advantage in using molasses or honey, same components.
Yes, tomato paste has sugars within. They are as follows for 1/4 cup, which is probably a lot of ingredient after thinning and applying: Glucose & Fructose, about 2 grams each, and .2 grams maltose. There is also a bit of sugar in the A-1 steak sauce used. Even with multiple coatings during the grilling, you probably wont consume over 3-4 grams (less than 1/10th of an ounce) of sugars.
I settled on using Splenda for the sweetener. While not a fan of artificial sweeteners, I believe that the advantages outweigh disadvantages in this case. The only other two alternatives are no sugar (blah!) or back to sucrose/molasses/glucose/whatever. You pick your poison, I picked Splenda.
What makes Splenda so attractive for this purpose is not just that it is sweet, lots of things like stevia will do that, but that the Sucralose sweetener is carried within a another (natural) sweetener, dextramaltose. Dextramaltose is not real sweet by itself, perhaps about 50% as sweet as table sugar.
The Sucralose itself is microscopic in quantity and isnt even metabolized by your body. It fools your tongue into Sweet Mode, then it takes its leave some hours later.....you know..... Toxicity is assuredly zero.
But the kicker with Splenda and unlike stevia or the alcohol sugars is that the dextramaltose carmelizes! Sprinkle a bit of Splenda on a very warm or hot surface and it carmelizes just like sugar - because the dextramaltose is.
Sweetener variations: Depending on your dietary beliefs and preferences, you might try the following:
1. Use old fashioned corn syrup. This, in theory, is pure glucose, no fructose. However it is hard to find pure. My survey shows that most are now adulterated by HFCS. Outside of the US, you might find this as glucose syrup or sugar made from grapes. Bakers supply houses carry it, or of course, the internet. That would be very good, i.e. no fructose, unless you are diabetic. In The South, you might consider, Alaga syrup, mostly corn (glucose,) some cane. Cane is, of course, table sugar in liquid form.
2. Add or substitute sweetener with molasses. While no better dietetically than cane syrup, having fructose within, it adds its own special flavors.
3. There is no magic in honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. The latter is almost pure fructose! The former two arent much different from cane juice or sugar, back to sucrose.
The recipe, adjust as preferred:
1 12 oz can of tomato paste.
2 TBL. Colgins Liquid Smoke
3/4 C. Vinegar
12 TBL. (3/4 cup) Worchestshire Sauce
6 TBL. A-1 type steak sauce, generic just fine
½ - 3/4 C. Splenda
2 TSP. Onion powder
12 TBL (3/4 cup) Soy Sauce
1 TBL Olive Oil
1-3 TSP Black Pepper, to taste
Dilute to preference. I prefer a few thinner applications than one thick one.
Keep in the refrigerator. It will thicken with time, just dilute as desired.

All of us at Binary are extremely excited about tonight's show at the Echoplex, celebrating our friends at TILT's 3rd anniversary. The bill is absolutely stacked: Jamaica, French Horn Rebellion, Parallels, and Binary's own NightWaves will all be performing. There will also be four DJ sets, including one by Short Circuit. I don't know about you, but as I read each name on the bill my jaw dropped successively lower; this is a lineup not to be missed.
Jamaica are fresh off the release of their debut LP, on their FIRST American tour. French Horn Rebellion are putting the finishing touches on their new album, so their set is bound to include loads of unreleased goodies. Our own NightWaves have been hard at work the past few months on new material. No word on whether they'll premier some of it tonight, but you'll definitely want to be there in case they do. Doors open at 9, get there early because you won't want to miss a single minute. If you aren't in LA, or have other plans tomorrow night (though I would really recommend cancelling them), you can catch half of the lineup (FHR and NightWaves) performing together again next week at the Hype Machine/dubFrequency CMJ showcase in New York City. Sorry to all of you in the middle states…you're kind of out of luck on this one. In the meantime, prepare yourself for tonight's showcase of aural ecstasy by downloading this new NightWaves gem, a remix of Walter Sobcek's 'Je Me Souviens.'
Walter Sobcek – Je Me Souviens (NightWaves Remix)
The first time we saw these two artist collaborate was earlier this year when Walter Sobcek released their fantastic remix of NightWaves' 'Sweet Carrie.' Now the tables have turned, and between these two songs I think it's fair to say that the Sobcek/NW combo is one to beat. The two groups seem to know how to perfectly compliment and supplement the others' work, to breathtaking results. NightWave's remix of the beautiful 'Je Me Souviens' (that's French for "I Remember") takes the aural experience to another, otherworldly level.
I was a NightWaves fan long before I formed a relationship with the Binary label, and the thing that has always struck me as unique about the group is the level of professionalism they render onto all the remixes they tackle. In my opinion there's a stark difference between a re-mix, in which an artist reinterprets an original work and changes the overall mood; and a "re-fix," in which the artist takes the original song and capitalizes on the emotions and themes already present in the piece. The "re-fixer" doesn't reimaging the song; he enhances it, taking it to a higher plane of interpretation and production while maintaining the original's emotional and melodic integrity. The re-fixer reinforces a piece, enriching the weaker elements instead of erasing them completely. NightWaves are masters of the "re-fix." Every remix they do retains the original message of the song while adding a coat of polish that takes the work from a "catchy little number" to a virtual masterpiece. We see this style manifested once again in their remix of 'Je Me Souviens.' They heighten the sense of nostalgia and mystique present in the original piece by cutting out the majority of the lyrics, instead highlighting the line "je me souviens" and framing it with glistening synths and delicate snares. The result is a blissful, ethereal ode to your fondest memories, when the world seemed so beautiful you wondered if you were dreaming.

A New Hampshire brewery, where an employee was killed in a keg explosion, is preparing a special beer in his memory.
Portsmouth's Redhook Brewery is working with the family of Benjamin Harris on the project.
Foster's Daily Democrat reported keg labels have been designed for the brew, which has been named "Ben Harris Beer."
Harris, 26, of Newington, was emptying a plastic keg with pressurized air when it blew apart at the seams in April.
The parent company of Redhook, Craft Brew Alliance, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are investigating the accident.
Harris was married and was expecting a child in December. Three other breweries have held fundraisers to benefit his wife and unborn child.

But for the Lady Warriors on the Watchung Hills Regional High School girls basketball team, it's a 6-year-old girl from Bernardsville who serves as source of inspiration.
She is, afterall, fighting cancer — and making progress.
Campbell Hoyt has been battling Anaplastic Ependymoma, a rare form of brain and spine cancer since August 2009. She was 3 years old when she was diagnosed.
"She has undergone four brain surgeries, bacterial meningitis (as a result of one of her treatments for brain cancer) for eight months, one brain tumor, five spinal tumors, one spinal surgery, a total of 86 rounds of proton beam radiation therapy, countless days, weeks and even months away from home while in treatment," according to the Pray for Campbell blog, which is hosted by the Hoyt family to keep people updated on Campbell's status.
Sandy Whelan, head coach of the Lady Warriors and personal friend of the Hoyts, said her team sees Campbell as a source of inspiration, "because if Campbell can beat cancer, we can beat whoever we're playing," she said.
The team even has a board hanging in its locker room to remind players that "Campbell is our Warrior."
After a receiving brain scan results on Thursday, Campbell's parents found out she had no new growths, Whelan said.
The Hoyts will be leaving to go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis for eight weeks as Campbell undergos a new clinical trial for chemotherapy after radiation.
As one can imagine, their medical bills have added up.
To help offset the Hoyts' medical costs, the Lady Warriors raised $2,000 for Cambell during a morning clinic in 2011 and $5,000 during a "yellow-out" game against Bernardsville last year.
"My team and I are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support," Whelan said Friday, which is why the team is continuing its fundraising efforts in 2013.
Friday night, at 7 p.m. the Lady Warriors will host Summit High School in another "yellow-out" to support Campbell and raise awareness for childhood cancer.
The proceeds from the night's event will go toward the Campbell Hoyt Medical Trust, and there will be a silent auction, 50/50, bake sale and Team Cambell sale, including bracelets and t-shirts, Whelan said.
"Black Jack" Ryan — who performs interactive basketball tricks — also donated his time as the half-time entertainment.
The Hoyts are planning on attending the game, with Campbell helping out on the bench.

Covering a person with a blanket, and then farting under the blanket, making sure the fart remains trapped in the blanket bio-sphere. The desired effect is that your dutch oven occupant will have no choice but to inhale the noxious fumes.

A Dutch oven is where you let of a gastly fart under the bed covers and trap it while your girlfriend is out of the room; when she gets back in bed, you force her innocent face under the sheets to see if the odour makes her vomit.

Writer-director to produce comedy with Rudin
Nancy Meyers will write and direct her next film at Universal. She will produce the untitled romantic comedy with Scott Rudin.
Meyers made her last two films — "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Holiday" — for Columbia.Meyers is keeping the plot under wraps but said the movie concerns marriage and follows a relationship over a long term. There are big parts, she added, for a woman and two men.
"We consider it a coup to have her make the movie here," said Universal Pictures chairman Marc Shmuger. "She is a singular voice."
Meyers said she will complete the script by August. It's her first collaboration with Rudin, whom Meyers said she has leaned on as an unofficial adviser on her projects for two decades.
While "The Holiday" was viewed in the U.S. as an expensive underperformer for Sony, Universal had a different experience. The studio acquired overseas rights for a capped investment, stressed the comedy and cast of the pic in its marketing and grossed $142 million (the film took in $63 million in the U.S.).
"I was less than thrilled by what the film did here but very happy with what it did overseas," Meyers said. "I worked very closely with (UPI prexy) David Kosse and Marc Shmuger and liked the attention they paid to the movie."

Questions Answered
What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are the very best way of getting the skilled workforce you want, trained to your ways from day one!
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes, that enable employers to develop their workforce in a real working situation, achieving nationally recognised qualifications to industry standards. As well as teaching practical skills and the underpinning knowledge to go with those skills, they also develops the individual in a holistic manner through a better understanding of the workplace and Employment Rights and Responsibilities.
There are two levels of Apprenticeship:
Apprenticeships; which are designed for 16 -18 year olds who are just starting out at work, and will lead to an NVQ at level 2, Functional Skills at levels 1 or 2, an industry specific Technical Certificate and Employment Rights and Responsibilities (ERR).
Advanced Apprenticeships; designed for employees who have either completed an Apprenticeship, or who have the appropriate experience or qualifications, usually aged 18+. They focus on more advanced craft and supervisory skills, leading to an NVQ at level 3, Functional Skills at levels 2 or 3, an industry specific Technical Certificate and Employment Rights and Responsibilities and Rights.
For more on Apprenticeships visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk
What is an NVQ?
NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification. These are vocational qualifications, recognised across the country and throughout all industries. NVQs are always focussed on the workplace and are based on competency, relevant skills for the job and and practical knowledge. The qualifications are achieved through a series of continual practical assessments rather than final exams. NVQs are designed by industry, for industry.
What are Functional Skills?
Functional Skills are designed to raise personal, transferable skill levels. They develop the practical everyday skills of the individual to make them a more rounded and efficient employee. The skills developed are essential in the workplace and used in day-to-day situations. Subjects covered include communication, using numbers at work, information technology and working with others.
For more on Functional Skills visit: www.functionalskills.com
What is a technical certificate?
A qualification that is specific to each industry, and is designed to develop underpinning knowledge, skills and confidence. It is issued by the appropriate Awarding Body for the vocation chosen, but could be for example, BTEC (Edexel) or City and Guilds. Training for this is usually carried out off-the-job at our Training Centres. Technical certificates are proof that the apprentice fully understands the theory behind the job as well as being able to carry out the practical tasks.
Who is eligible?
To get full government funding an Apprentice must:
- be working at least 16 hours per week
- not have completed a university degree or be studying on a government funded course
- be between 16 and 19 years old. For 19 – 24 funding may be available for certain vocations. Please contact us to discuss this further
- have a National Insurance number.
We are happy to discuss commercial rates for training employees aged 24+.
How much will it cost me?
Not as much as you might think! If the above criteria are met, the government funds the majority of the training cost. However, it is government policy that employers should contribute, particularly in the case of the 19+ age group. The amount contributed will depend on a number of factors and can be agreed on an individual basis. Please contact us for further details.
What are my responsibilities as an employer?
You have the same responsibilities for an apprentice as you have for any other of your employees. For example, you will have to ensure that all legal requirements in terms of Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and working hours are met.
Ideally you will appoint a manager to be responsible for the Apprentice. This person will have an important role to play in the training of the Apprentice.
You will give the Apprentice a full induction to your company and their job role and provide their on-the-job training.
You will be responsible for paying the Apprentice's wages; this should be at least the appropriate National Minimum Wage (NMW) rate for their age.
Our staff are always on hand to advise and support you with any concerns you may have in this area.
For more information on the NMW visit: https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates
Do I have to employ the Apprentice from the start?
You have a number of options open to you but you do not have to employ someone until you are absolutely sure:
- Employed by your Company – the young person is employed directly by you under your company's terms and conditions of employment
- On a trial placement with your Company – We have many young people who are undertaking a pre-apprenticeship programme known as the Pioneers Programme or Foundation Learning Programme. They are available for work trial placements. This is a good way for you to see for yourself what they can do before takings steps to recruit them under either of the above two options
How long do Apprenticeships take?
Apprenticeships can vary in duration from 1-2 years depending on the vocation chosen. When completed an Apprenticeship is equivalent to 5 GCSEs.
Advanced Apprenticeships can vary in duration from 2-4 years depending on the vocation chosen. When completed they are equivalent to 2 A Levels.
How much time will the Apprentice spend away from work?
Most of the training takes place on-the-job in the workplace and we provide additional training, support, guidance and assessment. Training sessions with our specialists will be scheduled as and when they are needed. The frequency of the sessions will depend upon the programme chosen, but can range from weekly day release to once or twice a month. All training requirements will be agreed with you prior to the start of the programme. As the Apprentice develops and matures, the benefits of the training will become apparent in the workplace as the skills and knowledge learnt are put into practice.

"It was as if someone was pushing me into the water. I saw her. Her hands were up in the air and she was screaming for help. I didn't even think about it. I just jumped in and started swimming," Nickolette Breauchy said as she talked about her actions that saved the life of a woman.
The 17-year-old Mill Hall resident credits God with keeping her calm and giving her the strength and fortitude to keep swimming in the strong current and reaching Helen Solt, as the woman bobbed up and down in the middle of the river.
"I was getting very tired but I just kept going. I kept thinking that I had to get to her. I was talking to her, she knew I was coming and I couldn't turn back. I didn't even know if I'd make it back, but I had faith that God would help me," Breauchy continued, as she remembered those anxious moments.

Nickolette Breauchy.
She insists that she is no hero, but others who were there know better.
"If not for Nickolette, Helen would not have survived," Lock Haven City Police Officer Steve Litzelman said.
Two men in a canoe helped Breauchy get Helen to safety.
"The current was very strong. Breauchy and those two men in a canoe are the reason why we did not have a third drowning victim," Litzelman continued.
Two others floating on rafts in the river with Helen - Alecia Frey and Roland Richmond - were not as fortunate. They both drowned Thursday afternoon when the rafts the three were floating on were swept over the dam at Grant Street.
Breauchy was at a swimming party with friends at a Water Street home when they heard the sirens just about 2 p.m. Thursday and ran barefoot to the top of the dike-levee to see what was going on.
The first thing she saw was Litzelman stripping off his gun and other heavy equipment and preparing to jump into the river. Before he could, Breauchy was in the water swimming toward Solt.
Litzelman and two of Breauchy's friends, Logan Neff and A.J. Cronmiller, started running down the river bank where Litzelman entered the water and began swimming against the current toward the women.
Breauchy said Helen was floating on her back, coughing up water and yelling for help.
"I told her to come to my voice. I kept talking to her. She was so exhausted. When I reached her I held her head above water with one arm and used the other arm to swim and keep myself above water. I kept looking at the police officer. He was getting closer to us... and then, all of a sudden there was this boat ... a canoe... behind us.
"There were two men in the canoe. The police officer grabbed onto one side of the canoe and I grabbed the other and they paddled us to shore," Breauchy said.
Litzelman said he was glad to see the guys in the canoe.
"They were paddling as hard as they could ... they came from the Woodward Township side of the river," he said. "They wouldn't give us their names, and after we reached shore, they quickly got back into the canoe and went back out searching for the other two. I'd like to know who they are... I'd like to thank them for getting all three of us out of there."
Litzelman said he and Breauchy were very tired and the current was very fast. He said he can't help but wonder what might have happened if not for those two men.
Breauchy's mother, Tina, had some anxious moments when she learned about what he daughter had done.
"As a parent, I'm astounded. I'm so proud she did what she did. As a mother, I am horrified. As a Christian, I know that God put her in that position to take the action she did. She had faith to put her life in God's hands... I'm really impressed and very proud of her," Tina said, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at her daughter.
Breauchy noted she is a wrestler at Central Mountain High School and that training over the past years has gotten her body into shape, obviously helping her reach Solt.
"Stay strong, stay focused... mental conditioning. Those are the things we practice and I saved a life because of it," Breauchy said.
A senior this year, she said she wants to go to wrestle in college.
"I want to meet Sara McMann," she said with a huge smile. Sara McMann is a Lock Haven native and LHU graduate who also is an Olympic champion wrestler.
No matter what life holds for Breauchy, one thing's for sure, she said.
"God was with her all the way."

Rich, Leyland only starts runners when he has a 5 run lead. So unless they blow a big lead he'll never have a runner thrown out in a loss.
Jackson will eat Inge alive (no Kelly). Probably the same with Austin (no Kelly) and Peralta (no Santiago).
This is gonna be a very tough game to win.
Definitely a "surprise me" win. Good job, guys.
I was blacked out so I'll look at some of it later tonight.
Nice!! Lots of hitting and pretty darn good pitching. The perfect game for me, no stress! Lots of fun to watch!
9 hits and 7 RBI's from the bottom 4.
And the lumbering giant more than earned his keep on the mound.
It looks like Brad was a pincher this afternoon. And it also looked like a penny saved was a penny earned. Well, enough of my shallow thoughts. At least tonight he isn't penniless. It would have been nice to hear Hawk choke on his words today.
Nice win for the old English D.
The key thing today was Penny getting all those ground balls and 1st pitch strikes. Neat.
I must saty that I would definitley disagree on the ruling that gave Morel a hit. In my mind a 3rd baseman is required to be able to make a backhand stab waist high and get off a true throw to 1st. It would havel been a good play had Inge made it, but it was still an error. Inge has had a lot of trouble getting his throws on target this year. Yes it is a long throw but that's why Abner Doubleday created the diamond. It is not something that should be an aberration to get a throw on target from behind the bag at 3rd.
Part of my opinion is obviously biased as I feel Inge is overrated as a 3rd baseman (at this point in his career). I feel the media has perpetuated the management ideal of Brandon as a super gifted defensive wizard which justifies not having to do anything about upgrading at 3B.
Excuse my typos, (I know they must be there). Had some margueritas today and the Baja sun has rendered my eyes useless when transitioning from outdoors to laptop screen.
Great victory. Nice to see Maggs get his 1st Ribbie and AJ contribute offensively and get through a game without striking out.
I held of commenting on Inge's throws knowing you would cover it Dan. You picked it early that his arm doesn't have the strength for a 3B.
Have we ever had a 5 horse race for Central?
BTW, if the Tigers felt they needed to call up a LHB CF—it would be Dirks (not on the 40 man), not Clete. Dirks is hitting , Thomas is not.
Sizemore continues to hit consistently.
Inge's arm doesn't have the strength for 3rdbase? Wow……..are you kidding?
I just watched the replay so here's my take. On the scoring decision, I think they call that a hit everytime. It's only controversial because of circumstances. I can't conceive of a fielder being given an error on that type of play. If it's an error on the throw, it's just as easily an error on Cabrera for not digging out a routine one-hop throw to first. If Miguel had caught the ball before attempting the tag, he possibly gets the runner. And I'm not blaming Inge or Cabrera for not completing the play. It's just a tough play.
It's not like Penny would have thrown nine hitless innings anyway. No way.
Thanks for the reasonable analysis Rich!
What a great game today. Penny was terrific today in front of the home town crowd. We've been spoiled by 2 "fairly" significantly easy games…..at least not having to hide my eyes or biting fingernails. I thought Brandon muffed the throw. We looked great and the Sox looked awful.
Not worried about Magglio at all. He'll heat up. I hated seeing Edwin traded to the Diamondbacks. He looked good in the Old English D.
Knew I was on a hiding to nothing with that post.
No question Inge is in top 3 athletic MLB 3B going around, and he often gets away throws without properly setting himself making plays out of nothing.
Inge set himself this afternoon and his throw came up well short, landing close to the infield edge. To me, his throwing power has dropped and have to wonder whether his knees or something else is not quite right.

Dave Richards: Major music festivals too far away for this fan
If orange is the new black, green is the new me. I'm growing envious by the moment.
Every day, it seems, a lineup is unveiled for a fantastic music festival thousands of miles away.
I received an e-mail on Wednesday for the Governors Ball in New York City. Three days of fun, from June 6-8, with Jack White, Outkast, Vampire Weekend, the Strokes, Phoenix, Skrillex, Foster the People and other alternative acts I love.
Have a ball, Governor. I can't make it.
I never thought about hanging out in Alabama until this showed up: the list of bands for the Hangout Music Festival from May 16-18 in Gulf Shores, Ala.
The Black Keys, the Killers, OutKast, Avett Brothers, Flaming Lips, Portugal. the Man, Queens of the Stone Age, Los Lobos, Modest Mouse and dozens more will play.
If my sweet home were in Alabama or anywhere close, I'd be game. But it's not.
On Tuesday, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Rhythm and Blues Festival released the lineup for its annual party, which is so mammoth it consumes two weekends (April 25-27, May 1-4).
It's a mindblower: Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Arcade Fire, Phish, Robert Plant, Vampire Weekend, Avett Brothers, John Fogerty, Santana, Chaka Khan, Christina Aguilera, Alabama Shakes and on it goes.
Were you aware Delaware has a major festival? Delaware! Firefly, set for June 19-22, will feature OutKast, Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, the Lumineers, Imagine Dragons, Jake Bugg, Portugal. the Man, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant and Ziggy the Marley, er, Ziggy Marley.
That's only 419 miles away, according to MapQuest. Still, it's closer than California's Coachella Festival with OutKast, Muse, Beck, Lorde and some artists that use more than one word in their name -- the Replacements, Arcade Fire, Broken Bells, Foster the People, Girl Talk and hundreds more during two April weekends.
Lineups have yet to be announced for Lollapalooza in Chicago, Bumbershoot in Seattle, Outlands in San Francisco, the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas and the granddaddy of modern, multiday, superstar festivals -- Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn.
All of the above are ridiculously far from Erie, which begs a question: Why hasn't anyone yet founded a killer festival that could draw from Erie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Cleveland, which have combined metro populations of nearly 6 million people?
Destination festivals are the rage, yet we're out of the loop and off the grid. It's a shame. I'd drive a few hours to see one, any one, but all of these may as well be in another solar system.
Paging Doctor Who. I need to borrow your TARDIS.

He knew a lot about the fielders behind him.
"That's an all-star infield in back of me," said Perro, a Cherokee senior who combined with Holy Cross junior Jon Mackie to power Burlington County to an 8-1 victory over Delaware County (Pa.) on Friday in the second round of the Carpenter Cup baseball tournament at Richie Ashburn Field in FDR Park.
Perro and Mackie each pitched three scoreless innings as Burlington County advanced to face Lehigh Valley (Pa.) in the tournament semifinals at 1 p.m. Sunday in Citizens Bank Park.

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
The seven who appeared at the Miaoli District Court for a preparatory meeting included Chen Wei-ting and Lin Fei-fan, two students who grew even more prominent this year by leading the March 18-April 10 occupation of the Legislative Yuan to protest against the trade-in-services pact with China.
The activists faced charges by the Miaoli District Prosecutors Office including obstruction of official duties, public humiliation and violations of the Assembly and Parade Act.
They argued that the Miaoli County Government was the first to use violence when it razed the four homes. The activists said they used eggs to express their opinions and had not had any intention of hurting anyone. Police officers raised placards with warnings against the protest on purpose four times in a row in order to be able to accuse them of violations of the Assembly and Parade Act, they said. The activists said they were defending justice and protecting themselves, so they were innocent, despite the misuse of indictments by prosecutors.
At issue were a protest last August 16 during which eggs were thrown at the Miaoli County Government building and officers were injured, scuffles with police during a September 14 protest against County Magistrate Liu Cheng-hung and a September 18 incident during which Chen threw a shoe which hit the politicianŌĆÖs head.
Prosecutors filed the charges against the protesters in February. The widow of Chang Sen-wen, the most prominent opponent of the demolitions and himself owner of a pharmacy which was destroyed, appeared at the courthouse Tuesday in a sign of support for the prosecuted activists.
Chang was found dead in an irrigation canal last September in what was widely seen as a suicide caused by a depression as a result of the expropriations and demolitions.
At the court hearing Tuesday, Chen said he had thrown the shoe at Liu because the county chief tried to enter the Chang home after the manŌĆÖs death even though the family had said he was not welcome.
Lin defended his actions at protests by saying that following the Dapu case, people anywhere in Taiwan might face the unjust expropriation of their homes by the government at any time. Defense of the home owners should not be illegal, he argued.
The Dapu home owners said they supported the defendants because they had protested against the governmentŌĆÖs violent behavior. They also demanded the rebuilding of the four homes at their original location, pointing out that even the candidate nominated by the ruling Kuomintang to succeed Liu, lawmaker Hsu Yao-chang, supported their idea.
Earlier this year, the Taichung High Administrative Court said the expropriation of the four homes by the Miaoli County Government and by the Ministry of Interior had been illegal.
