POLICE and paramedics were called to Poole Park yesterday morning after a body was discovered by a council worker.
Emergency services went to the scene at around 7.40am and found the body of a man.
Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.
A spokesman from Dorset Police said: "At 7.40 Dorset Police received reports that a body of a man had been discovered at Poole Park."
"The death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner has been informed. The next of kin have not yet been informed."
The body is believed to have been discovered near public toilets at the West Gate entrance to the park.
A section of the park was cordoned off while the body was recovered from the scene.
The park was fully re-opened at around 10am.
David Barton, of Alverton Avenue, who was walking his dog shortly after the body was found, said he was shocked by the news.
"We were walking around the lake and we heard the sirens," the 68-year-old said.
"Then we saw the police cars - one was parked in the grounds and another one on the road."
He added: "I have been walking my dog here for the last two years and have never seen anything like it."
Marian Davis, who was also walking her dog in the park, described the news as "heartbreaking".
"It's very sad," she said.
"I bring my grandchildren down here It could have been a child that came in and found him. It doesn't bear thinking about."

Maj. James Weirick had seen enough. In March, after months of observing how the Marine Corps was prosecuting eight Marines implicated in war-zone controversy, he sent a six-page complaint to the Pentagon's investigative agency alleging a variety of malfeasance by the service's top general and his senior advisers.
The major, a staff judge advocate in Quantico, Va., assigned to the cases, urged the Defense Department inspector general to investigate how the Corps was handling its cases stemming from a video showing four scout snipers urinating on dead insurgents in Afghanistan. He alleges Commandant Gen. Jim Amos, or others working on his behalf, sought to ensure harsh punishment for the Marines facing charges and suppress evidence. To Weirick, this raised questions about the fairness of these legal proceedings.
His complaint also noted that it appeared Amos exhibited preferential treatment toward one of the officers in the scout snipers' unit: then-Maj. James B. Conway, the son of Amos' predecessor as commandant, retired Gen. James T. Conway. During the battalion's deployment, the younger Conway served as executive officer for 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
"I lack the power or authority to get the emails and other requested materials in the possession of the Commandant and his staff," Weirick writes in the complaint. "To ensure a fair proceeding I need the assistance of those with much greater authority. I should have acted earlier, but I truly believed those with the authority to accomplish this would adhere to the Rule of Law and our shared value of due process. This, sadly, has not been the case. Both civilian and uniformed counsel for the Commandant have thwarted my efforts and remained silent, or possibly assisted in, this unlawful command influence."
The complaint specifically names Amos and five other senior officials: Gen. Joseph Dunford, who was assistant commandant until becoming the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan this year; Maj. Gen. Vaughn Ary, the staff judge advocate to the commandant and director of the Judge Advocate Division at Marine Corps Headquarters; Col. Joseph Bowe, Amos' deputy staff judge advocate; and civilian legal advisers Robert Hogue and Peter Delorier.
These explosive accusations have received attention in national media, on Capitol Hill and throughout the Defense Department. They've also made life difficult for Weirick and Col. Jesse Gruter, his direct supervisor during most of the last year. Both allege they've come under fire from senior Marine officials as a result of Weirick's complaint, according to emails and other documents obtained by Marine Corps Times as part of a months-long investigation into the allegations surrounding the commandant.
The two military attorneys were involved in the urination cases as legal advisers for Lt. Gen. Richard Mills, commanding general of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, who was selected by the commandant in February 2012 to oversee all related cases. But Weirick and Gruter contend they are the subject of reprisals for pushing back against alleged wrongdoing.
In one example, Col. Mark Jamison, a staff judge advocate for the commandant, pressed Gruter to remove Weirick from the cases after the IG complaint was filed, Weirick alleges in an Aug. 7 email to another Marine attorney, Maj. Michael Libretto. The email is contained in a recent legal motion seeking dismissal of the case against Capt. James Clement, the last Marine to face court-martial in connection with the urination video.
Weirick's email is in response to Libretto's request to meet for an interview about theClementcase. Weirick declined, saying Jamison had never retracted an allegation Weirick violated attorney-client privilege with the Corps by becoming a whistle-blower.
Gruter, who is copied on Weirick's response to Libretto, weighed in via email as well, saying he, too, remembers Jamison's alleged accusation. Gruter's email says Jamison insisted Weirick "should be counseled in writing and be required to respond in writing" for filing the IG complaint.
Weirick filed a separate reprisal complaint with the Pentagon IG on May 24. In it, he alleges Ary and Hogue, the commandant's top civilian attorney, lodged a professional misconduct complaint against Gruter and canceled his next assignment as punishment for Weirick reaching out to Congress about his IG complaint.
"My fear is that unfavorable personnel action will be taken against my Commanding General, LtGen Richard P. Mills, as a result of my protected communications," Weirick says in the reprisal complaint. "I do recognize it sounds somewhat strange for a major to be worried that a LtGen will be retaliated against for the major's actions. But this entire matter has continued to escalate as a result of my original DoD IG complaint. It is my belief that the Commandant's staff is retaliating against members of my chain of command as a direct result of my protected communications."
Reprisal is banned by the federal Military Whistleblower Protection Act, which states service members are allowed to make "lawful communications" with members of Congress, inspectors general, military auditors and law enforcement organizations. A 2011 internal investigation by the Defense Department released to the Center of Public Integrity found the Pentagon frequently failed to protect whistle-blowers from reprisal, however.
The legal rights of those accused in the urination cases "have been protected throughout every step of the military justice process," said Col. Sean Gibson, who has served as the Marine Corps' spokesman for most issues related to these cases. He said it would be "improper to comment on any statements, testimony, or credibility of possible witnesses" in Clement's case, and referred all questions about Weirick's IG complaint to Defense Department Inspector General Lynne Halbrooks. A spokeswoman for the IG, Bridget Serchak, has declined to comment on the case. The commandant's office has declined to address Weirick's allegations.
The whistle-blower
Weirick and Gruter declined to be interviewed. Weirick, however, released a brief statement to Marine Corps Times when informed that the newspaper was preparing a story about him. In it, he points out the sacrifice made by the eight Marines charged with crimes as a result of the urination video. It was recorded July 27, 2011, in the middle of a fierce combat deployment to Helmand province's violent Musa Qala district.
Weirick states that because of the ethics allegation that Marine Corps headquarters has lodged against him, he is unable to comment "on the facts or any other aspect" of the case against Clement, who is accused of dereliction of duty and conduct unbecoming an officer for failing to stop the misconduct of junior Marines.
"I can, however, say that Marines are expected to act in a manner befitting the title we have earned, which includes acting in an ethical manner at all times," Weirick states. "These Marines, despite what they were accused of, fought and nearly died in defense of the Constitution. I could not allow these Marines to be deprived of rights they are guaranteed by the document they swore to defend."
Weirick, of Alexandria, Va., has served as the deputy staff judge advocate at Marine Corps Combat Development Command since October 2011, according to his profile on LinkedIn. Prior to that, he was a prosecutor for the Office of Military Commissions in Alexandria, Va., an appellate government counsel, and a judge advocate at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego.
He completed officer training in Quantico in 2002, after graduating from the Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, N.J., in 2000, according to his online profile. He was selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel last year, but has not pinned on his new rank.
In emails and court documents, Weirick makes it clear he will not back down. On May 22, he wrote to Colleen Bell, a staff member for Sen. Claire McCaskill, D.-Mo., asking if Bell would be interested in viewing a court-martial in which unlawful command influence accusations against the commandant were likely to come up.
During the past year, more than 80 UCI motions involving the commandant have been filed by defense attorneys who've latched on to comments he made as part of last year's "Heritage Brief" tour, in which he lambasted misbehavior by Marines and pressed for aggressive responses when they were discovered. McCaskill has been one of the strongest critics of the military's ability to prosecute sexual assaults cases, and Weirick wanted to offer her office the opportunity to see a hearing in which unlawful command influence would be discussed, he says May 24 in an email to recently retired Col. Terrance Brennan, then Mills' chief of staff.
Weirick's email to Brennan states that he would agree to temporarily stop contacting members of Congress at Mills' request. Weirick adds that the three-star officer has been "scrupulous in ensuring that I suffered no reprisals resulting from my DoD IG complaint" — but he lays in on Ary, a two-star general, and Hogue, a well-connected senior executive service appointee. Weirick's email contends they reached out to Brennan and forcefully told him Weirick was not allowed to contact members of Congress.
"The entire basis of my DoD IG complaint revolves around unlawful command influence by the Commandant," Weirick writes. "I was communicating with a Member of Congress to inform said member about this matter and to invite her to observe a court-martial hearing that involves discussion of this unlawful command influence. ... The Gestapo tactics of Mr. Hogue and MajGen Ary must not be allowed to go unchecked. I will, without doubt, enforce all of my rights and oppose, by any legal means necessary, this infringement on my right to communicate protected communications with Members of Congress."
Separately, Weirick exchanged a series of emails that week with Lt. Col. David Greenlees, a member of the Marine Corps Office of Legislative Affairs on Capitol Hill. Greenlees sent a May 22 message asking why Weirick had contacted McCaskill without his office's involvement. Weirick responds that he was not representing the Marine Corps in an official capacity at the time. Greenlees counters that Weirick should not have used his Marine Corps email account if that was the case, and Weirick responds by invoking Article 31 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which allows service members to remain silent under interrogation.
"Warrior, I'm puzzled as to what is going on here," Greenlees responds. "I'm simply asking you why you are setting up the brief. I am working on setting it up as well."
In his email to Brennan, Weirick states that there was nothing illegal about him using his usmc.mil email account to contact members of Congress. Marine administrative message 181/10, he points out, authorizes "limited personal use of internet-based capabilities via the Marine Corps Enterprise Network." A three-sentence email qualifies, he asserts, and adds that "the only reason" he is temporarily suspending emailing members of Congress is his fear that Marine Corps headquarters will make Mills or Brennan the subject of reprisal.
Days later, Weirick emailed Hogue, Ary, Bowe and Delorier, and copied Greenlees on his message. The major states that he will continue to communicate with members of Congress about all of the issues raised in his IG complaint. "I am not relinquishing my right to make protected communications with Members of Congress as I see fit," he writes. "As you are assuredly aware, I have alleged each of your conduct represents a 'violation of law or regulation,' thus my communications are clearly protected."
The whistle-blower's boss
Gruter had said little publicly about the cases before now. In a signed declaration filed Aug. 13 with Clement's motion to dismiss his case, the colonel corroborates much of what Weirick alleges in his initial inspector general complaint. Gruter served as the staff judge advocate for Marine Corps Combat Development Command — and as Weirick's direct supervisor — beginning in January 2012. He became Mills' chief of staff in June, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Gruter contends in his declaration that Marine Corps headquarters classified videos, interviews and other evidence collected during the investigations into the urination cases despite his and Weirick's protests, and without legal justification. That move was made through a February 2012 memo approved by Lt. Gen. Richard Tryon, then the deputy commandant for plans, policies and operations at the Pentagon, Gruter says. The colonel adds that Bowe, Amos' deputy staff judge advocate, informed him that Dunford, then the Corps' assistant commandant, had ordered it. Mills, the consolidated disposition authority for all the cases, disagreed with classifying the investigations, but it was done anyway, Gruter says. The memo signed by Tryon has Hogue's name on it, and states it was prepared by Delorier, one of the commandant's civilian attorneys.
Gruter's declaration says that soon after he vocalized his concerns, Ary, the Marine Corps' top uniformed attorney, attempted to remove him as Mills' legal adviser. Ary told Gruter he wanted a lawyer in that position who understood Washington's political dynamic, Gruter's statement says. The colonel adds that he believes it was Mills' "support that deterred Major General Ary from replacing me."
Gruter's declaration emphasizes his belief that Hogue, specifically, was tracking the urination cases for the commandant, recalling a phone conference in February or March 2012 between Hogue, Gruter, Bowe and Col. Dave Bligh, then the legal adviser to Lt. Gen. Steven Hummer, who carried out the Marine Corps' internal investigation of the urination incident.
"Mr. Hogue said that he was involved in all the things he was hired to do and all those things he was directed to do by the CMC," Gruter says. "Mr. Hogue then said that the [urination] cases went through him. My understanding was that Mr. Hogue's office was the legal counsel [point of contact] at HQMC for any [urination case] issue that would go to CMC or have CMC's attention."
The commandant's son
Gruter says in his declaration that he also protested on behalf of Mills when he saw a May 31, 2012, email in which Gen. John Paxton, then the three-star commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, addressed the urination cases. Attached to Paxton's message was a position paper addressing how the Corps could handle each. It left room for Amos to approve or disapprove, and write in comments about each recommendation. A copy of that position paper, initialed by Amos, was later obtained by Clement's lawyers this past July, bolstering their claim Amos committed unlawful command influence, they say.
Paxton's email says the urination cases were discussed at the Executive Offsite, a quarterly meeting that includes three- and four-star generals and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Mike Barrett. That came as dozens of Marines in the battalion had their promotions and follow-on assignments put on hold as the investigation unfolded, according to emails exchanged between several general officers. The generals recommended unanimously to "grant well supported exceptions" to Maj. Conway, the retired commandant's son, and another officer, then-1st Lt. Edward Leslie. Both were reassigned and promoted, but others in battalion's leadership remained on hold.
Gruter says in his declaration that he "knew the email alone presented significant unlawful command influence issues" and would need to be produced to all of the accused Marines. "The phraseology of the email made it appear as if the CMC had given particular direction or guidance in the [urination cases] and the General Officers on the email had reached a collective agreement in the 'execution of justice,'" Gruter says. "This is contrary to the underlying principle that a [consolidated disposition authority] exercises his or her sole independent and unfettered discretion in the determination of how to properly dispose of military justice matters."
Within the email Gruter references, Paxton tells the commandant that "your guidance after the EOS was clear and it was communicated and was being executed." It was written May 31, 2012, about a week after Maj. Conway's name was published on a June 2012 officer promotion list. At the time, he was still under an administrative hold preventing his promotion.
Gruter says that, in his assessment, Paxton's email resulted from Conway's father's belief that his son would not be promoted at the time.
"I base this on a phone call I received from Mr. Pete Delorier, Deputy General Counsel, on or about the last week of May asking me if Lieutenant General Mills was placing Major Conway on promotion delay/withhold," Gruter's declaration says. "... Mr. Delorier proceeded to inform me that General Conway had heard that his son was not being promoted and that had prompted a phone call from General Conway to either CMC or the General Counsel's office, I was unclear to whom."
The younger Conway was promoted to lieutenant colonel and subsequently took command of an infantry battalion in Hawaii. His father declined to discuss his communication with Marine Corps headquarters, but he released a brief statement through a spokesman.
"Like so many other aspects of what has been written on this story," it says, "that I demanded Major Conway be released from administrative hold is absolutely BS."
Colonel recuses himself
Gruter's declaration also describes his interaction in late April with Lt. Col. Derek Brostek, another Marine attorney at Marine Corps headquarters. Gruter says he warned Brostek that "if there was one more incident smelling of [unlawful command influence] in these cases," he would remove himself from handling them and urge Mills to do the same. Days later, on May 10, a professional responsibility complaint was lodged against Gruter by individuals at Marine Corps headquarters "regarding a matter that began over two years ago," Gruter alleges.
The specifics of that matter are not spelled out in Gruter's declaration, but a source with knowledge of the complaint against him said it is related to his handling of past legal cases involving personnel at Officer Candidates School, the facility in Quantico where prospective Marine officers undergo entry-level training, said a source with knowledge of the Corps' legal community.
Gruter says in his declaration that he believes that "to some degree the timing" of the complaint against him was related to his threat to recuse himself from the urination cases. Once the complaint was lodged, Gruter says, he felt obligated to remove himself from the cases, even though Mills "protested my recusal and stated his dissatisfaction with the professional responsibility complaint." Gruter became Mills' chief of staff shortly afterward.
Gruter corroborates Weirick's accusation that Marine Corps headquarters withheld evidence in the urination cases, especially a February 2012 memo from Amos to the first convening authority for the cases, Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser. In his signed declaration, filed July 23 in the Clement case, Waldhauser describes the commandant stripping him of his authority to prosecute the accused Marines after Waldhauser refused to promise that he would toss them all out of the Corps. The commandant wanted the Marines "crushed," Waldhauser says in that document. Shortly afterward, Amos named Mills the new consolidated disposition authority — signaling possible unlawful command influence, Weirick, Gruter and Clement's defense attorneys say.
Amos' memo to Waldhauser states the commandant believes "some of my comments during our recent conversation could be perceived as possibly interfering with your independent and unfettered discretion to take action in these cases." Marine officials contend that in removing Waldhauser afterward, the commandant sought to preserve the military justice process after his misstep.
But Weirick and Gruter contend Amos' rationale for removing Waldhauser was hidden not only from them, but from Mills. Legal experts say the Corps had an obligation to produce the memo as evidence for all eight of the other urination cases. That this was not done, they say, raises questions about fairness.
Gruter says in his declaration that if he had known Waldhauser was removed "because of his disagreement with the CMC," he would have advised Mills to proceed differently and recommended nonjudicial punishment for all of the Marines involved, rather than some form of court-martial. If the Marines would have refused NJP, Gruter says, he would have advised Mills to forward oversight of their cases to the commandant.
Gruter closes his declaration by stating that Mills "has acted in the most utmost professional manner" in regard to the cases at all times — but he levels a stinging accusation at the lawyers within Marine Corps headquarters. As the facts surrounding Amos' decision to swap convening authorities were disclosed, Gruter says, "it was clear to me the most relevant facts had been withheld from me and that my ability to independently and fully advise Lieutenant General Mills was severely and systematically interfered with by Judge Advocate Division."
The consolidated disposition authority for the cases is now Lt. Gen. Kenneth Glueck, who assumed command of Marine Corps Combat Development Command in August. Mills was nominated in April to become the commanding general of Marine Corps Forces Reserve and Marine Forces North, with headquarters in New Orleans.
Attorney out at HQMC
There also is at least one personnel change taking place at Marine Corps headquarters: Delorier is on his way out. A retired Marine lieutenant colonel, he served as Hogue's deputy in the commandant's legal office. He is preparing to relocate to Camp Lejeune, N.C., into a job below his current pay grade, fueling speculation the move is involuntary, sources say.
After Delorier's appointment to the Senior Executive Service in August 2010, his stature matched that of a general officer. A spokesman for the commandant, Lt. Col. Wes Hayes, said Delorier has "performed admirably and successfully as a senior executive for the last three years." Hayes also noted that Camp Lejeune is near Delorier's family home.
"He's been commuting from North Carolina since he joined the Department of Navy Office of the General Counsel as a civilian attorney approximately seven years ago," Hayes said.
Delorier was involved in the decision to classify the 3/2 investigation, preparing the action memo dated Feb. 29, 2012, and approved by Tryon. The document was sent to Tryon from Hogue after Weirick and Gruter protested the order from headquarters to classify witness interviews and other investigative materials, according to a report Weirick filed to the Department of the Navy Central Adjudication Facility, part of NCIS responsible for determining eligibility for security clearance.
Weirick's complaint alleges Hogue, Delorier and Bowe sought to classify evidence in an effort to "prevent or delay the disclosure of information before court-martial, to conceal violations of law, and prevent embarrassment to the United States Marine Corps" — all breaches of an executive order, signed by President Obama, defining what constitutes classified national security information and what does not. Weirick asked the agency to determine whether the commandant's lawyers still merit their security clearances, and whether "they still possess the requisite reliability and trustworthiness such that entrusting them with access to classified information is clearly consistent with the interests of national security."
Gibson said Tryon classified the videos in an effort to make sure they were not used as propaganda to incite violence against deployed U.S. forces. Security was heightened in Afghanistan at the time amid deadly protests provoked by reports that personnel at Bagram Air Base had inadvertently burned religious materials, including copies of the Koran, Islam's holy book.
"At that time, Marine Corps officials believed that unauthorized disclosure of the information and images result in damage to national security, to include increasing operational and strategic risk," Gibson said. "They further determined that continued classification was necessary to prevent further incidents of attacks in Afghanistan and to protect international relations in the region."
Gibson said Tryon requested that CENTCOM review the decision to classify the videos a couple of months later, on April 5, 2012. That came after Weirick had raised the issue repeatedly with U.S. security professionals behind the scenes, emails show. CENTCOM declassified the videos in June of last year, as they became needed in legal proceedings for the Marines accused.
Congressman Walter Jones, whose district in eastern North Carolina includes Camp Lejeune, contacted the Department of the Navy Central Adjudication Facility on Aug. 8 seeking a progress update on Weirick's classification complaint. Attempts to reach Delorier were unsuccessful.

Back Nine: SEC offenses are making headlines this year
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 10:33 p.m.
The Back Nine comes at you after a delightful trip to Kentucky, even if it was only a little more than 31 hours. At least nobody tried to fire us in the airport.
10. Remember when the SEC was all about defense? Ah, it was so many years ago. Like 2012. What the heck is going on in this conference? Whatever it is, it has made for some enjoyable viewing. Nine teams in the league are averaging 30 or more points a game and 12 are averaging more than 400 yards a game. Florida is one of those teams with more than 400 yards per game, but I keep hearing the league has passed Florida and the only way to win now is with a great offense. Is there a chance Florida is at an advantage because it is playing such good defense and most of the rest of the league is struggling to stop anybody (although a properly motivated Alabama did this week)? I think the biggest reason that offenses are going nuts in this league is that the quarterback play is not only at a high level, but it is experienced. Of the top six passers in the SEC, five of them are seniors. The other is Johnny Manziel, so it's possible the top six passers in the league will be gone next year. So it will be back to being a defensive league. Maybe.
11.It was pointed out to me that Florida might have to keep an opponent from gaining any positive yards for me to give the defense an A in my game grades. I gave the defense a B+ last week and it should have been an A when you consider it allowed no points and 173 yards. I guess I grade this defense on a curve. At any rate, The Swamp should be electric this Saturday with the first night game since 2011. Here's your interesting statistic for the week about Arkansas — the Razorbacks lead the SEC in sacks with 15 and in fewest sacks allowed with three.
12. Sometimes you're just right. Not that I need a pat on the back. But when Lane Kiffin was hired at Southern Cal and Paul Pasqualoni was hired at UConn, I predicted neither of those situations would end well. While Tennessee fans were celebrating Kiffin's unemployment, I think it's important to consider the difficult situation he was dealing with at USC. Ah, who am I kidding? The guy is an arrogant punk who has been handed way more than he had earned and showed an indifference to his team's blowout loss at Arizona State. I think Pat Haden looks bad by firing Kiffin at the airport and then not allowing him on the team bus. I mean, couldn't it wait a half hour? If anyone gets hold of a video showing Kiffin begging for his job for 45 minutes in that airport meeting room, I bet you could make a fortune selling it on the Vols' website. The big question is who will take the job and the first name that hit me was Washington's Steve Sarkisian. We'll see. Meanwhile, Pasqualoni was fired after getting blown out by Buffalo, which I think is required by law. The guy simply isn't a head coach. Maybe UConn could hire Kiffin. Gene Chizik's available.
13. I know it's early, but Jerry Palm, who crunches numbers for CBSSports.com, projects that if we had a College Football Playoff this year (we don't) and the season ended today (thankfully, it does not), the four teams in the playoff would be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama and Clemson. All worthy, but that would leave out unbeaten Oklahoma, FSU, Stanford and Louisville. In fact, he has a projected Chick-fil-A Bowl of Georgia vs. Louisville. The point is that if anybody believes the four-team playoff is going to stop the gnashing of teeth they are crazy. Trust me, when the cash starts flowing in, the powers that be will expand the playoff to eight teams and there will still be complaints, but the more teams get in the lower the volume on those complaints.
14. I received several compliments after I nicknamed Florida's offense the "Murph 'n' Turf." Time to come clean. I got the idea from Myrtle Beach Gator fan Todd Elliott, who sent me a tweet during the Florida-Tennessee game. Todd will be receiving a copy of my book "100 Things Florida Fans Should Know Or Do Before They Die." I can sign it or for an extra $5 get Johnny Manziel to sign it.
15.That was a nice win by West Virginia over Oklahoma State in the battle between two of my least-favorite coaches and because the Mountaineers had been struggling you knew there would be some property damage. Sure enough, the police reported 10 fires were set and one car flipped. No word on whether any of the fires involved innocent couches. I don't get those people. Why not just get smashed and pass out like other college football fans?
16. Maybe we should all calm down a little bit about what Peyton Manning is doing in Denver because it is only one-fourth of the way through the season, but it sure is fun to watch if you like offense. (It was also funny to hear the Eagles players yelling "Papa John" when Manning was barking out audibles). If you haven't watched the documentary "The Book of Manning," do so and you'll come away rooting for Peyton. And Eli, even if his team is in the tank. Which is the most surprising team to be winless right now — the Giants, Steelers, Bucs or Jaguars? I'd probably go with the Giants.
17.The Tweet of the Week comes from Fox Sports Radio's Ben Maller — " 'You could say we're the worst team in the league,' Ben Roethlisberger on the 0-4 Steelers. Clearly Big Ben hasn't watched Jaguars game." Yeah, that's what I thought and when I tweeted that I wondered if Jacksonville would ever have an NFL team again, I was surprised at how violent the reaction was from some Jags fans. Here's an idea — sign Tim Tebow, play him at tailback twice a game and sell some tickets. It can't be any worse.
18. I feel the need for some quality music after listening to what sounded like Sirius' Hits 1 during the pregame of the Florida-Kentucky game. Katy Perry? One Direction? Were they trying to attract young girls to the game? I get why most stadiums play the music they play during pregame. It's for the players and the recruits. But Zedd? Miley Cyrus? On top of that, we heard what had to be the worst karaoke rendition of some country song in the parking lot as we were leaving Commonwealth Stadium. My ears were in need of a solid playlist. Try these downloads — "Classy Girls" by The Lumineers, "The Mother We Share" by CHVRCHES and for an older song but not quite an oldie "Gone Daddy Gone" By The Violent Femmes.

A volunteer-run service that has provided "tea and compassion" at Wharfedale Hospital, Otley, for more than 40 years will end this spring.
Around 30 Otley WRVS volunteers, who take turns to run the tea bar at the hospital's outpatient department, were given the shock news by letter on New Year's Eve.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust says the change is needed to allow an external contractor to take over its currently loss-making catering.
WRVS-run services at St James's and Chapel Allerton Hospital will also end in the shake-up, which will take place in April.
But Otley WRVS volunteers like Colette Kendall, of Bramhope, fear the change will be to the detriment of patients.
She said: "Everyone's so upset about this. It's such a shame.
"The staff are devastated too, because they rely on us for things like free drinks for people who have had bad news or who don't have any money.
"We do make a profit for the WRVS but that's not our main role. We're also looking after people. We get tea and biscuits for people who come in on ambulance transport, often in wheelchairs and sometimes have a long wait.
"We don't just sell the refreshments but look out for them. It's that compassionate side of things I fear will now disappear.
"And the restaurant's at the other end of the hospital – they won't be able to get along to outpatients."
Wharfedale Hospital matron Zoe Kirk, however, said WRVS volunteers could still help after the tea bar ends by chatting to patients in the outpatient department and seeing if they needed anything.
Councillor Ryk Downes (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) meanwhile, a member of Wharfedale Hospital Forum, said: "It is a great shame that after many years of loyal service to patients and visitors, myself included, the WRVS will no longer be serving refreshments at Wharfedale.
"I would like to thank them for all their efforts. They have been very much appreciated by many visitors to the hospital."
A Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust spokesman said: "A review of staff and visitor catering facilities has shown that the restaurant service the trust runs at St James's, Chapel Allerton and Wharfedale currently operates at a loss, despite a number of attempts to improve this.
"We have decided to put the contract at these three hospitals out to tender.
"We acknowledge this will impact on the current facilities run by the WRVS, including the tea bar at Wharfedale, as the new contract will include all the staff and catering facilities across the sites.
"We have been keeping the WRVS informed and would like to stress that the decision is a commercial one, aimed at ensuring we get best value for money, as we do not believe our restaurants should be subsidised from patient care budgets.
"We would like to thank the WRVS for the service they have provided.
"It has been greatly appreciated and we hope they will continue to be involved in helping all our hospitals."

Ammaross - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkI've used a pair of NanoStations for a 9-month temporary campus bridge between two buildings. The thing was solid as a rock, even after the construction crew built an elevator shaft directly in the line-of-sight. :( Reply
tech.kyle - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkWe use Bullets and Rockets at work for creating links that span up to about 25 miles. I've been pretty impressed with their offerings. We use a few other types of wireless bridges and they all make me groan when I have to support them. For the price, they're quite good. It's the antennas that are expensive. Reply
bah12 - Monday, April 08, 2013 - linkAgreed we use the bullets exclusively for wireless bridges, can't be beat. One site is a sand plant extremely dirty, and lots of vibration, we use it to beam a signal to the dredge in the river about a mile away. I was very impressed, I've never needed to reboot them because they quit talking like oh so many other brands. Reply
mflood - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkI've hung Picostations all over Afghanistan and did a whole FOB with UniFi. They work great - and as noted - the price can't be beat. Reply
yougotkicked - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkas someone who both works for and attends a large university with campus-wide wi-fi, the price point and feature list on these makes me drool. Reply
Braxus - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkDang. Just purchased 6 UniFi AP Pros (their 802.11n dual band product). That being said, probably best to give the 802.11ac some time to mature. Know other companies still have problems with their 802.11ac products regarding overall continuous long-term link stability. Reply
0ldman79 - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkI use UBNT parts for my wireless Internet service.
Pretty good stuff, very good price, very reliable.
I am impatiently awaiting the Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac outdoor equipment. Time for some serious bandwidth. Reply
kylewat - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkI plan on using it in my home. Great timing, my purchase is about a month away! Reply
aebiv - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkWe've been using the UniFi at several client sites (both cloud and on premise controllers) for about a year now, and while they can be beat for performance and some niche features, it comes at a high price.
Overall? They're an incredible buy, and more than enough for 95% of the market I've seen. Reply
piroroadkill - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkJust bought over a dozen UniFi AP Pros!
Damn these are good value, it cannot be understated.
It's pretty much impossible to be unimpressed by the cost/performance/added value in terms of management software package that Ubiquiti kit offers... Reply
pixelstuff - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkThe new (really large) High School building in my area installed over 50 of the UniFi units about a year ago. I don't work there, but know the IT staff, and they are thoroughly satisfied with them. They say they would use the UniFi products again if they had to do it over. Reply
SquattingDog - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkYup the UniFi series of APs are pretty good. We have had a link setup with a 5km+ line-of-sight connection sharing Fibre to a client's site across the city with no issues.
The "Zero hand-off roaming" feature sounds like standard WDS to me. Can't say I've seen issues with latency or interoperability issues when switching APs which are configured in a WDS system.
802.11ac is an exciting step forward for wireless technology for sure, and a much needed one. Reply
Braxus - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkThey're supposedly using the 802.11ac draft chipset from Broadcom. Wonder if Ubiquiti has solved the issues that Asus is experiencing with their 802.11ac units on degraded performance after a while which supposedly from what others say is a chipset driver issue on the Broadcom side.

Breightmet Utd 1 Turton 1 (Turton won 4-1 on pens) Another game that was decided by penalties, started with a penalty in the 23rd minute dispatched by Turton's Keiran Sissons.
The lead lasted just 13 minutes when Kyle Bailey equalised in the 36th minute.
Turton were reduced to 10 men when Phil Johnson was sent off.
In the second half Breightmet could not make the extra man tell but with one minute of normal time remaining Turton keeper Josh McGreavy made an incredible point blank save to take the game to penalties.
Josh McGreavy then carried on where he left off and saved two of three penalties Breightmet while Turton scored all four and won the tie 4-1.
Tempest 6 Bolton Wyresdale 0 A young Wyresdale side, kicking into a strong wind and the sun in the keeper's eyes, conceded in the 10th minute to a 25- yard curler from Josh Melling.
On 22 minutes the sun played a part again when Wyre's keeper Alek Buchannon misjudged a free kick and Tom Halligan had a simple tap in.
On 62 minutes Ross McNair had a simple tap in at the far post and five minutes later Ben Hyde was fouled in the box and got up and despatched the penalty himself.
Matt Carter (71) and an Ash Fallow free kick on 79 minutes completed the scoring, CMB 3 vLadybridge 1 CMB won the Lostock derby with two goals by Liam Carr on 21 and 55 minutes. Andrew Warburton made it three on 67 minutes and J Desousa scored a consolation goal on 71 minutes.
Old Boltonians 3 Little Lever 2 Local Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division rivals Old Boltonians and Little Lever gave a very entertaining display of attacking football.
Little Lever took the lead in the seventh minute from a John Burke corner which deflected in off an Old Bolts defender.
It was then end to end and Old Bolts got the equaliser with a spectacular backward header from a fully 18 yards from Rob Taylor which looped over the stranded keeper.
Ten minutes into second half Little Lever had a penalty saved by Old bolts keeper Andy Hodgeson and on 58 minutes Old Bolts had a goal disallowed for offside.
Four minutes later Matt McClellan ran through the Little Lever defence and fired across the keeper into the far corner.
A penalty from Paul Wheatcroft made it 3-1 to Old Bolts and Little Lever scored a consolation goal right on full time.
It was the first tie in the opening five games to be decided in normal time Castle Hill 0 Bolton County 0 (Castle Hill won 4-1 on penalties) For the fourth game in a row the tie had to be decided on penalties.
The home side started brightly with Danny Warburton looking dangerous.
The small pitch did not suit County's style of football, but in the 51st minute Bolton County were awarded a penalty.
Jordan Whittle stepped up and Scott Longworth, diving to his left, made a great save.
It stayed 0-0 and Castle Hill keeper Scott Longworth saved two of County's three penalties while Castle Hill scored four to win the shootout 4-1.
Eagley 0 Stoneclough 0 (Eagley won 4-1 on penalties) On a lovely sunny evening, both teams were very evenly matched in the first half, with both creating chances.
Stoneclough had their keeper Andrew Mulroney to thank for keeping Eagley at bay in the second half and with neither team able to break the deadlock the game went to penalties.
Eagley scored all their four and Stoneclough missed their first and third.
Atherton LR 2 Hindsford 2 (Hindsford won 4-2 on penalties) A young LR started very brightly and went ahead through Matty Boland after six minutes.
Chances went begging at both ends before Boland headed his second goal on 35 minutes.
Hindsford started to come more into the game in the second half, kicking down the slope, and scored two in two minutes when Sub Tom Valentine scored on 75 minutes and David Moreno on 77 minutes.
The game then went to a penalty shootout which Hindsford won 4-2.
Can anyone help solve the mystery of the unknown Bolton Hospital Cup winners from the 1930s?
The first ever winners were Farnworth in 1930 but there is no record of who won in 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1934 before Tonge United won in 1935.
Organiser Andy Whittle is also trying to build a complete history of the Hospital Cup.
The history of the Hospital Cup The Bolton Hospital Cup was started in the 1930/31 season and was initially known as the Bolton Royal Infirmary Cup.
The first winners were Farnworth FC.
Initially the money raised helped to pay for the broadcast of Bolton Wanderers matches to the local hospitals via a specially installed land line.
Unfortunately the service came to an abrupt end when workmen constructing the new A666 St Peters Way through the town, ripped up the cables.
Since then, many thousands of pounds have been raised for charity, thanks to the hard work of dedicated volunteers and to the clubs involved.
The magnificent solid silver trophy was donated by Wilfred Andrews in 1934.
It lists all the past winners of the competition and sits on a mural of the Bolton Royal Infirmary which was built by money collected by the Hospital Saturday Fund at the turn of the century. From the mid-30s there was even a Bolton Royal Infirmary Junior Cup running alongside the senior competition, the first winners in 1934/35 being Greenheys Celtic.
While it is known this junior competition continued after the second war, the exact date when it was last played is presently unknown.
The Hospital Cup competition flourished and in 1970 more than 60 local clubs entered.
With Bolton Wanderers hosting the finals at their Burnden Park ground, the popularity of the Hospital Cup was at its height.
However, changes in local football which saw some clubs vanish forever, including most of the works teams as factories closed, along with some clubs moving upwards to higher leagues meant that the competition was on the verge of coming to an end.
Someone at the time described the clubs as like "little islands".
It seemed that Little Hulton United would be the last ever winners of the Hospital Cup in 1995.
As word got round though, some good people became involved.
Gerry Luczka, John Bullen, Peter Conroy and Brian Frey all put in a lot of hard work to revitalise the competition.
They were rewarded with a lot of interest from local clubs which culminated in a thrilling final at Burnden Park which saw NWCL side Haslingden win the trophy in 1996 for the first time, but not before Eagley gave them a real fright by taking a 2-1 lead.
The competition's organisers were dealt another blow the following season when, because of the move to the Reebok Stadium, it was not possible to stage the final at Burnden Park.
With 30 clubs having entered the competition they were stuck for a venue for the final, but Atherton LR stepped in to offer their Crilly Park pitch.
The final was played on various grounds until 2000/01 when Bolton Wanderers were again ready to allow their ground to be used for local cup finals.
The first final at the magnificent Reebok Stadium saw Atherton Town triumph over Blackrod Town and the tremendous support from Bolton Wanderers has ensured that the Hospital Cup has flourished.
But, while we all enjoy the football, we must remember the real reason for this competition is to raise much-needed money for local charities.
Bolton Hospice, Vision Aid and Bolton Steps are three which have benefited in recent times.
Every club which has entered the competition has made an important contribution towards helping people less fortunate than themselves have a better quality of life.

Dr. William Henry Cosby Jr. was born on July 12, 1937 in Philadelphia. Bill Cosby is known as a comedy entertainer, and actor who has performed in numerous nightclubs, starred in movies and TV shows. Cos has also produced a large number of comedy albums and some videos. He is widely known for the cartoon series Fat Albert and The Cosby TV show featuring the Huxtable family.
Smith chronicles the events of Cosby's life showing how Cos was influenced by his surroundings such as his childhood in the Richard Allen Project Homes, facing racial discrimination at a restaurant as a teen, Temple University, navy, marriage, birth of his children, entertainment world, sports activities, charities he supports and the death of his son.
The author also shows how Cos relates to others professionally and socially. Smith also compares Cos with other entertainers. At the end of the book there is a listing of Cosby's albums, Emmy and Grammy awards, television series, movies and videocassettes, stage performances, videos and his authored books.
Cos learned some comic rules: 1. People have to like you to want to listen to you. and 2. A comic is not supposed to get angry in public.
Bill's comic materials have consisted of his Noah and the Ark routine, parent-child relationships and lampoons of irritating commercials. Cos told a reporter, "I see things funny and I talk about the way I see them. I try to project a family atmosphere of sharing a joke with friends or relatives at home." p.43
Smith compares Cos with other black entertainers such as Sammy Davis Jr., Richard Pryor, Red Fox, Harry Bellefonte, and Sidney Poitier. Some would do jokes with racial humor, and use profanity. Others would try to confront the race issue by showing societal discrimination in movies and TV shows. Cos tried to keep neutral on the race issue and keep his humor family – oriented in order to try to appeal to everyone. His humor involved story-telling of common child hood human nature experiences such as sharing things with one's siblings, and the consequences of not obeying one's parents.
Cos did his doctoral thesis on the Saturday cartoon, Fat Albert that ran from 1972-85 with the aim of trying to entertain and educate children by trying to teach them moral lessons such as staying in school, honesty pays and how hard work pays off.
TheCosby Show TV Series about the Huxtable family ran 8 years from 1984-92 and was more popular than The Simpsons. The Cosby Show became very popular and was rated number one at NBC for a number of years. Cos kept a firm control on the writing staff and script. They wrote about human behavior. The book talks about how they rehearsed for the show. Cos consulted experts on medicine, law, and psychiatry to give out the correct information.
Smith states that Cos tries to compliment his family in public and keep their lives private.
Bill Cosby has been doing stand-up comedy to top concert venues and producing comedy albums for over 30 years as well as authoring a number of books. His latest book is entitled, I Didn't Ask To Be Born (But I'm Glad I Was) c 2011 which is a collection of comedic observations about life experiences.
Cosby is Chairman of the National Hemophilia Foundation. He supports the congressional Black Caucus, American Cancer Society, The American Heart Association, the Aids foundation and other charities.
I would recommend this book and the biographical and/or the autobiographical genre to anyone (teens and adults) who like to learn about others and their experiences. -MA

A MAN has been charged with indecently assaulting a woman and two young girls at a shopping centre in Sydney's southeast.
On February 10, a 42-year-old woman and two girls, aged nine and 12, were allegedly indecently assaulted in separate incidents at the Eastlakes centre.
Police arrested a man at the same shopping centre on Evans Avenue on Saturday before charging him with two counts of indecent assault on person under the age of 16 and assault with an act of indecency.
The 30-year-old man has been refused bail to appear in Parramatta Local Court later on Sunday.

This page is dedicated to this synthesizer and I hope it will help you get the most out of it and FM synthesis in general. I'm here to put it to the test, to run it through the paces, to push it to its limits, and maybe even put it through the wringer. I'm going to post articles, patches for download, and all kinds of stuff that's fun for the whole dog gone family. So, grab some sticks and marshmallows and gather round the LCD!

|Firmware Revisions
|This contains a complete list of the TX81Z revisions that exist and their differences, as well as how to find the revision and do a factory reset.
The way I see it, synth programming is part of the art of playing the synthesizer. Only using the presets is kind of like playing the piano with one hand all the time. You can do it, but it's a lot more fun with two because you can do so much more. And not only that, using two hands on the piano puts you more fully into your musical expression. With a synthesizer you can put yourself into the expression with both hands and with the timbre of the sound you're playing. So the synthesizer gives you unprecedented power to make your music an expression of what you are in your own uniqueness!

|This used to be a java-based open source universal synth editor, but the site has been overtaken by spam, so I assume it's dead.
|This editor supports every 4 operator FM synth Yamaha ever produced. It runs only on the Atari ST but it can run on Windows and Linux via the excellent Steem ST emulator which can be found at http://steem.atari.st. I have tried this system out on Windows and it works well.
|This is a commerical, universal synth editor from SoundQuest that runs on Windows and Macintosh OS 9 / OS X. I've tried the Windows demo and it has full support for the TX81Z and I think it's pretty good.
|This is a commerical, universal synth editor from Mark Of The Unicorn that runs on Windows and Macintosh OS X. I've never tried it as there doesn't appear to be a demo version.
|NoiZe is a shareware universal synth editor for Windows only. It doesn't look like it's been updated in awhile.
|SoundDiver (no link)
|This was a commerical, universal synth editor from EMagic that ran on Windows and Macintosh but Apple bought them out and discontinued SoundDiver apparently.
|TX81Z Editor
|This is a voice and performance editor that runs on DOS. This was found on this page: http://nosuch.com/mostly-midi/archive/. There are a couple of other TX81Z editors and librarians on that page.

Alyse Rothrock
The night sky has always intrigued me. I could see the beauty and majestic wonders it held, but other than gazing, I was completely clueless as to what was up there. Growing up and living in rural Missouri, it was easy to find the Big Dipper and Orion, but any other constellation was hidden among the myriad of twinkling lights.
Then I found out I had been chosen to participate in the Earthwatch Expedition, "Transient Phenomena in Astrophysics" and I was ecstatic. I learned I would be staying and studying for two weeks at Los Alamos National Laboratory. My time spent at Los Alamos proved to be priceless. Since that initial experience with astrophysics, I have been hooked. This next year I will be attending Washington University in St. Louis and studying physics. In the future I hope to do research for the further exploration and explanation of space.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/10/2013 (1404 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sometime in the next few months the good folks in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers marketing department will put their aching heads together and begin tossing around ideas for what will easily be the toughest gig in all of professional sports:
Coming up with a catchy phrase to sell the 2014 edition of your local football squad.
So, after watching the Bombers fall to 3-13 Saturday — a loss that means this organization has now missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years — we have some early 2014 slogan front-runners:
"It Really Can't Get Any Worse... Can It?"
"Hey, At Least We're Not The Eskimos. Oh, Wait..."
"Game Day, We All Pray"
"Fully Stocked Rum Hut"
"More Grey Cup Titles Than The RedBlacks"
Now, as head coach Tim Burke stepped in front of the podium early Saturday evening to offer up his take on what went wrong against the Toronto Argonauts, it was actually hard not to feel a bit sorry for the man who took over an absolutely horrid team last year and was asked to make chicken salad out of chicken spit.
He talked about mistakes like dropped passes, the most glaring a whiff by Cory Watson near the end of the first half.
He talked about a missed field goal in which holder Mike Renaud — after spinning the ball for Sandro DeAngelis to get the laces out — actually had the ol' pigskin slip off the tee.
He talked about a swack of penalties, referring especially to a J.T. Gilmore unnecessary roughness no-no in the second quarter that had defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan absolutely losing it on the sidelines.
And he talked about the football clanging off the upright on a Max Hall pass attempt to an open Clarence Denmark, that might be the one play that perfectly represents the 2013 season.
"It seems like this is the year that this is going to happen," said Burke. "You're just going to have those fluky kind of things happen. Hopefully, next year they won't happen."
(Another Bombers' 2014 slogan entry: "All The Fluky (insert bad word) Is Out Of Our System"
So, now that 2013 has officially been made a write-off, how exactly do the Bombers sell 2014?
It doesn't have to be complicated, although it's clear this franchise really has to pucker up and get into full butt-kissing mode with its faithful.
First, selling 2014 would start — check that, COULD start — with the organization ending the uncertainty in the football operations department, dumping the "acting" titles from new boss Wade Miller and GM Kyle Walters. After all, it's hard to sell stability when all the office doors feature names scribbled on strips of masking tape.
It would come with pulling any strings, working some magic and/or doing any kind of voodoo, to land a legit QB prospect before Christmas, because no single issue has plagued the Bombers over the last few years than the weekly questions about the man who takes the first snap from centre.
The promising Zach Collaros in Toronto comes to mind. Any one of Calgary's three pivots would be an upgrade. Heck, anybody... just as long as his name doesn't include the words "Michael" and "Bishop."
Most of all, selling 2014 could be hammered home with just a simple message from the bosses: here's what's wrong and here are the fundamental keys to the blueprint that's going to fix it. And then there needs to be cold, hard evidence that plan is being put into place ASAP.
(Bombers 2013 slogan, given the wonders of hindsight: "Look At The Lipstick on THIS Pig!")
After all, no franchise should suck this bad for this long in an eight-team loop.

I cannot praise these enough.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
By Peter Ames Carlin
Touchstone/S&S, 480 pages, $32
Turns out Bruce Springsteen has feet of clay. Who knew?
Certainly not his average biographer, of whom there have been many. All too often their attempts breathlessly recount the minutia of the American rock star's career with no genuine analysis and little depth. It may prove the writer's undying devotion as a fan but does not an insightful biography make.
It's not that Peter Ames Carlin is no fan. He lists Springsteen among his favourite musicians. The former People magazine writer and TV critic for The Oregonian newspaper also successfully set aside his feelings as a fan to write biographies of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney.
Bruce is not an authorized biography, but it is the first in 25 years to be done with Springsteen's co-operation. The son of New Jersey's approval to the Portland- Oregon-based Carlin meant he enjoyed broad access to Springsteen's family, friends and colleagues and to the musician himself. But Carlin says in his acknowledgements: "Bruce made it clear that the only thing I owed him was an honest account of his life."
All members of the E Street Band were interviewed several times, including legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemens who gave his last interview, then died following a stroke just weeks later. But perhaps most important in gathering the information to understand the now 63-year-old Springsteen's life influences was Carlin's conversations with Springsteen's mother, aunts and sisters.
From those talks, Carlin traces the Springsteen family's struggles with mental instability back to the death of Springsteen's paternal great aunt Virginia, five years old when she was hit by a truck as she pedalled her tricycle down the street. Parents Fred and Alice's turning away from their toddler son, Douglas, Bruce's father, was so pronounced that other family members removed him from the home. It was years before his parents asked for him back.
Carlin's treatment of the tragedy, which was mentioned in New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick's much-discussed Springsteen profile last summer, provides a deep context for all those tortured lyrics and mid-concert heart-tugging stories about Springsteen's troubled relationship with his father. It was something far more sinister than the '60s generation gap.
As Bruce's mother Adele says, no one knew much about mental illness back then, but it seems clear now that Douglas suffered bipolar disorder and possibly other mental illnesses. The family just lived with his misery and moodiness, his inability to hold a job very long or connect to the family in any meaningful way.
Carlin discusses in depth Springsteen's own struggles with depression and his years of work in therapy to ease them.
But all of that fits the mould of Springsteen as a god-like talent whose four-hour live shows and 17 albums, including Born to Run, Born in the U.S.A. and Wrecking Ball, have vaulted him into the first rank of American performers. What really sets Bruce apart is Carlin's willingness to write about Springsteen's more human moments, many of which aren't particularly attractive.
He didn't always treat the women in his life very well (surprise, surprise, a rock star misbehaving?). One of the biography's only false notes is the ease with which Carlin accepts denials that Bruce had an affair with Patty Scialfa, his backup singer and wife No. 2, which ended his marriage to actress Julianne Phillips.
Carlin recounts another story about an earlier band member, with a hot temper, begging for a second chance, but Springsteen standing firm in firing him.
Carlin puts into context the significance of journalist (and eventual Springsteen manager) Jon Landau's famed column which called the musician "the future of rock 'n' roll."
Springsteen may have hated the hype that line created, but it saved his career at a moment the record company was toying with the idea of dumping him. The line made the executives rethink that, as well as kicking off a career-long relationship between Landau and Springsteen.
It's abundantly clear that from the early 1970s Springsteen was ruthless enough to fire anyone who got in the way of his drive to be a superstar. He once said that members of the E Street Band he caught drugging before a concert could all be replaced inside of 24 hours.
Carlin blows away images of the egalitarian nature of membership in Springsteen's band. In the mid 1990s, when re-forming the E Street Band (after abruptly firing them in 1989), he had a junior agent call members to low-ball the pay, even for those who had played with him for years. When the musicians complained to Springsteen, he joked that's what agents do, get the best deal.
One particularly revealing story has Stevie Van Zandt, Springsteen's very longtime bandmate (who later gained fame as an actor, playing Silvio Dante in TV's The Sopranos), abandoning music and working in construction for two years after Springsteen cut him loose. Confronted with the story years later, Springsteen is clearly discomfited as he feigns surprise, then brushes it off as a Van Zandt exaggeration.
Legend has it, Springsteen doesn't like being called "the Boss," his longtime nickname. One wonders how he felt when U.S. President Barack Obama famously said: "I'm the president, but he's the Boss."
And yet that's what he always has been, not one of the boys in the band, but the guy in charge. A massive talent certainly, but one with the musical vision and the drive -- plus sometimes plain old-fashioned stubbornness -- to make it happen.
The whole paints a less attractive portrait of the rocker, but it's actually a relief, certainly it's more relatable, to see the very human Springsteen emerge from the chrysalis of a contrived image.
It was an easy image to swallow, the more than 120 million albums sold, the 20 Grammys, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award testament to his talent.
But the honesty of Bruce gives not just a new view of Springsteen but also a better understanding of his genius.
Julie Carl is associate editor, reader engagement, for the Winnipeg Free Press. Nebraska is her favourite Springsteen album, despite a fondness for the accordion-friendly The Seger Sessions.

CHAIRMAN of the Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority Cllr Derek Prodger has been re-elected to the post for another year.
Earlier this year your Worcester News revealed Cllr Prodger had agreed the spending of £3,000 of taxpayer's money on a private back operation for the chief fire officer Mark Yates, who has since handed the money back.
Although Labour member Cllr RIchard Udall was also nominated for the post at a meeting of the authority on Monday, June 9, members voted 15 to seven to re-elect Cllr Prodger to the post.
Deputy chairman Brigadier Peter Jones was also re-elected to his post after no other nominations were made.
The decision to authorise the payment was made at a meeting of four councillors. Cllr Udall voted against, Cllr Prodger and Jones voted for.
- In today's Worcester News our story should have made it clear that the money was paid back by the chief fire officer Mark Yates. We apologise that this was inadvertently omitted.
