Shane Byrne took a record equalling third MCE Insurance British Superbike crown in style as he celebrated a hat-trick of victories in a dramatic, thrilling finale to the championship at the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit.
The local hero had the edge over Josh Brookes going into the final round and Byrne increased his lead to 18 points when he won the opening race on Saturday afternoon ahead of the outgoing champion Swan Yamaha's Tommy Hill.
Byrne continued his winning momentum into the first of Sunday's races and despite two Nissan GT-R safety car periods he kept his cool to defeat Brookes and hold the advantage into the championship-deciding final race of the season.
"I got a bit worried then in case I ran short of fuel I was in a bit of pickle but the bike was awesome, the team had concentrated so hard to get it perfect for race distance," said Byrne as he headed off the determined Tyco Suzuki riding Brookes by a little over a second.
That left Byrne needing to score just two points to add a third crown to his ones from 2003 and 2008 but Brookes was determined to win, forging into the lead for much of the race.
Byrne however was determined to sign off his title success in style and on the penultimate lap he charged into the lead at Pilgrims Drop, taking the victory by a third of a second. He said: "I was happy following Josh, as I knew that it was enough, but then a the red mist came in front of the visor and I had to have a go.
"The team has given me such a fantastic bike that it would have been cruel not to have gone for the win and that was such a great race. It was amazing to have achieved this I have to thank the team who have made it all possible for me I'm just the final part of the puzzle.
"I'm ecstatic, elated, excited and to take the title for a third time is such an achievement," added Byrne who had taken Kawasaki to their first British crown in two decades.
Brookes' second place confirmed his runner-up place overall in the championship, ahead of Hill who took third position in the final race after Alex Lowes and Michael Laverty had crashed out of contention on the last lap at Paddock Hill Bend.

Walker secures 9th overall for Pr1mo Bournemouth Kawasaki
The Pr1mo Bournemouth Kawasaki Racing team concluded their British Superbike Championship season at Brands Hatch at the weekend and although it was an up and down affair for lead rider Chris Walker, ninth in the third of the three races saw him secure 9th overall for the team, a superb effort in their debut season in the world's best domestic Superbike Championship.
Strong throughout practice, Chris and the team started to experience problems in qualifying, when a misfire and a broken rear shock absorber left him down in 18th place on the grid. The problems then resurfaced in Saturday's 20-lap race and Chris was forced to retire early on, which left him a long way back on the grid for race two. The team worked until beyond midnight to get to the bottom of the misfire only for an oil leak to cause another retirement. It meant, Chris and the team's top ten position in the Championship looked in jeopardy but a superb ride in Sunday's final encounter saw the fans' favourite finish in ninth place in the race and in the final Championship standings.
Second Superbike rider John Laverty was having his second outing with the team and the Northern Irishman finished all three of the races inside the top 18 with a season's best of 13th and three points, just rewards for his efforts after battling back from serious injury in 2011 and bad luck in 2012.
In what was a busy weekend for the team, James Hillier made his return to racing in the National Superstock 1000cc Championship and although he had a difficult time during qualifying, which saw him line up in 22nd on the grid, the Bournemouth rider put in a stunning performance to move up to ninth place at the chequered flag. Meanwhile, fourth team member Kyle Wilks showed how much progress he'd made during the course of the year as he battled it out for a podium position in the Superstock 600cc race. In the end he had to settle for fourth in what was a superb ride by the Southampton teenager.
Speaking later, a delighted team manager Pete Extance said; "Overall, it's been a really good weekend for the team and to finish with 9th place overall in the BSB Championship is a great effort in our first year - if someone had said that to us at the beginning of the year, we'd have readily accepted it. It was a tough weekend for Chris' side of the garage but he was determined to secure that top ten position and he did just that so I'm delighted for him whilst I was also really pleased to see John get his first points of the year. James and Kyle both performed heroics too and I couldn't be happier for Kyle, he's had a fantastic season."
"It's been a strong year for the Pr1mo Bournemouth Kawasaki Racing team and to be handed the title of the official Kawasaki team in BSB in 2013 is an absolute honour and pleasure so we'll be doing our best to put a team together over the winter worthy of the title. I'd like to say a big thank you to all of our sponsors especially Joe and Enzo of Pr1mo Energy drinks and to all the team staff so roll on 2013!"
The team have one more outing this season with Hillier making his annual appearance at the Macau Grand Prix, the meeting place on the 3.8-mile street circuit on November 15-17.
More, from a press release issued by Team Suzuki News Service:
Tyco Suzuki's PJ Jacobsen finished a close second in the final National 1000cc Superstock race of the 2012 British Superbike Championship season at Brands Hatch in Kent earlier today.
The 19-year-old shared the lead on numerous occasions during the all-action 16-lap encounter, but was narrowly beaten by Keith Farmer; just one-tenth-of-a-second separating the pair as they crossed the finish line.
PJ Jacobsen:
"At one stage I actually thought I had checked out, but when the Safety Car came out it upset my rhythm a bit as once it goes in, you just want to get on the gas straight away and get the bike wide open and it spins up. I did think I was going to get Farmer at the end on the right-hander at the back straightaway, but he went in really deep; then I was out of the seat and lost my drive. I've had four podiums and two wins from my last four races on both the GSX-R600 and the GSX-R1000. I felt a lot more comfortable here at Brands today and I've grown to like the track. I'd just like to thank everyone in the team for supporting me. It's been a great time for me."
Philip Neill - Team Manager:
"Another great ride from PJ in what was a very tough race. There was never a minute to relax or settle in as the lead at the front was chopping and changing all the time. He's done a great job on both our GSX-R machines and proved their capability in the Supersport and Superstock classes. Hopefully we can do something with him for next season as it would be a shame not to see his talent in the British Championship paddock in 2013 on a Tyco Suzuki."

Eibach Pro Truck Shocks GMC C1500 Base 1999-1999
Product Details
Eibach developed Pro-Truck-Shocks specifically to match Eibach Pro-Truck products, taking full advantage of the increased spring rates and the lower center of gravity of the vehicle. The result is enhanced performance throughout the entire working range of the suspension without the stiffness or ride harshness, that which no one wants. This type of tuning takes time and suspension expertise, a commitment Eibach believes in, to produce a Truck and SUV shock worthy of the Eibach name. Driving is believing. Until you have driven a Truck or SUV equipped with Pro-Truck-Shocks, you will not believe the transformation in handling and performance, all without sacrificing ride quality.
- Performance shock absorbers
- High performance handling
- Controlled, compliant ride quality
- Precision tuned damping for Pro-Kit and Sportline
- Essential part of the Eibach Pro-system and Sport-system

The school board discussed a draft of the policy and accompanying regulations at length Tuesday.
Under the suggested rules, high school students should devote about seven to 10 hours per week to homework, long-term projects and test review. Students in AP classes should expect higher workloads.
Middle school students should spend 60 to 80 minutes per night, and elementary students should spend up to 10 minutes in first grade and up to 50 minutes in fifth grade, the proposed regulations say.
Weekend homework for high school students should not exceed a regular day's worth, and both winter and spring breaks should be homework-free, the rules state.
The policy is the product of a 28-member advisory committee composed largely of teachers and parents, along with school administrators and two high school students. The committee held 39 focus-group sessions with parents and staff at every school site and with students at all middle and high schools.
The focus groups yielded consensus on what constitutes "effective homework practices" and, conversely, characteristics of ineffective homework practices.
For example, a high priority among those polled was for homework to be "relevant" and meaningful," at the right degree of difficulty.
Board members said the proposed policy, crafted by committee members with a wide range of views, exceeded their expectations.
The proposal will come back to the board June 12 for a final vote.
School officials said several issues remain to be ironed out with principals, including a no-homework policy over spring break, group projects that require students to meet outside of class and the suggested time spent on homework.
"I had an opportunity to float it out at the school sites, and I don't feel like we got a lot of pushback on it, but I would have liked a little more time to talk about it," Associate Superintendent Charles Young said of the amounts of time.
Young said the policy and regulations, once approved, "will guide the work at school sites" but added that "this could look different at each school site."
The recommended timeframes should be seen as "guidelines or averages," he said.
"We can let the (school) sites work on it, give them an opportunity to see what they look and feel like — put it out there and test it."
It will be up to principals to implement the policy.
Board members quizzed Young on how success of the new policy would be measured and student feedback gathered.
"How are we going to take this policy and turn it into a practice that's going to make a difference — not just be a one-time deal but be systemic?" board member Barbara Klausner asked.
Several members asked for a clear policy for partial credit on late homework, noting that an automatic "zero" on late work provides no incentives for students to make it up. A "no-credit" policy tends to hurt the very students who need the most help, they noted.
Board members also focused on problems surrounding group projects that must be done outside school hours and the ability of a student to get a homework assignment outside of school, in case he or she missed it in class.
"Let us work on this, and we'll come back with suggestions," Superintendent Kevin Skelly said.
The proposed new policy and regulations replace a shorter existing policy and list of rules that leave homework policy decisions up to the principal and staff of each school.

LoneGranger33 saidAgreed. As the members of Guns and Roses once said, "every rose has its thorn".
Pardon my ignorance, but isn't that somewhat surprising? I thought Lewis was considered to be a pretty good player? Is he too old now? Too worn down? Something else?
I think worn down is accurate.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Why Not Us ?
In response to another thread, he'd be a good pickup for the Colts if you could get him cheap and if he's OK with splitting carries. A nice contrast to Addai - cut-back runner vs someone who spends most of his time between the tackles.
He's also an example of why keeping Rhodes isn't a high priority IMO - mid-level running backs are everywhere.
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
Just to answer one of Hicks' questions - No, this isn't surprising at all. Had been rumored for a long time. He had a 5 million dollar bonus he was about to recieve had he been on the roster, and the Ravens weren't going to pay that.
I just read this and was thinking to myself, Wasn't that Ray Lewis?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So I checked and realized that whenever I thought of a Baltimore Lewis committing a crime I just figured it was the same person.
So disregard my other post since I have a new philosophy - if his last name is Lewis and he plays football, just say no.
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
Jamal isn't old at all but he has a lot of wear and tear on his body. He's only 27, but he has also carried the rock a ton over the past 7 years in the NFL. I think he will have a bounce back season this year if he does not go back to Baltimore because he was playing hurt all this year (bone spurs) and Baltimore's offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL. Having Steve McNair helped cover up their offensive lines extreme weakness, but Baltimore had arguably one of the worst run and pass blocking OLines in the league. Any pocket passer behind that OLine would have gotten destroyed.
So I think Jamal could post 1400-1500 yards with a good YPC on a team with a good OLine, but he wont be doing it in Baltimore unless they get some serious help on the offensive line. I personally hope New England makes a run at him once they release Dillon.
As for his jail time, I think he just made a really stupid mistake. I actually met Jamal once after a Falcons game and he was one of the nicest celebrity athletes I have ever met.

2. Update your lingo.
From tweets and status updates, to linking in and going 4G, get a grasp on the language of the newest technology. With many companies utilizing the Internet and social media in some way, it's quite possible that one of these topics will come up in an interview. While you're at it, set up LinkedIn and Twitter profiles. Include a current, professional photo (after you've updated your look) and begin working these modern tools to enhance your job search.
3. Update your skills.
You're likely familiar with the old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." While this may not be true, it is an unfortunate misperception on the part of some employers. Fortunately, it's easy to prove them wrong. When you take a class or attend a workshop, you demonstrate your ability (and willingness) to learn. Some options: sign up for classes at the local community college (some are offering boomer-specific programs), audit a university course (for free!) or attend a local government or nonprofit-sponsored seminar for older job seekers.
4. Update your resume.
Does your resume look like it traveled time in a DeLorean? If so, update everything about it –from design and content to the paper it's printed on. You don't even have to be a graphic designer to create an eye-catching, modern resume. There are hundreds of resume templates (many free) available online. As for content, some experts recommend omitting any dates older than fifteen years. Others recommend serious culling. Communicating in texts and other language snippets is a hallmark of the younger generation. Adopt their brevity and your resume will appear more youthful as well.
5. Update your interviewing skills.
Interviewing can be a rough experience for everyone, whether they're 25 or 55. Practice answering both the routine and the difficult questions you may hear, including "don't you think you're overqualified for this position?" Keep your answers specific and always stay on topic. Emphasize what you've learned from your years of work experiences, and how that can benefit the employer. If you've retained valuable industry contacts, mention them.
The "gray ceiling" may exist, but it can only hold you back if you allow it. You are an experienced, dedicated and intelligent professional. Not only can you compete with younger job seekers, you can transcend them with your wisdom and willingness to keep yourself current.

New Miami Marlins Mike Redmond has talked things through with star slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who had been very public in his criticism of the team's salary dump, the Miami Herald reported.
"I reached out to him," Redmond said Tuesday on SiriusXM's Inside Pitch. "I've been through that as a player, where guys have been traded, and it's tough. I appreciate the fact he's upset. As a player myself, and now as a manager, that's the kind of intensity and fire you want in your players.
"I told him how much he means to this organization and to our team. He understands what is at stake as a player, and what he has got to do to go out there, and not only to be successful for the Marlins, but to have a great year for himself and his family. I'm not worried about him. I know he will be ready for spring training, and ready to help us win ball games."
As recently as last week, Stanton, 23, was upset about teammates being traded, during the season, such as Hanley Ramirez, but especially after the season, including five to the Toronto Blue Jays—All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, right-hander Josh Johnson, left-hander Mark Buehrle, catcher John Buck and infielder-outfielder Emilio Bonifacio.
"They talked about that, a winning philosophy, and how they were building a winner to play in the new ballpark," Stanton said of Marlins management to MLB.com's Peter Gammons, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. "They talked about me and Jose. They talked about how they'd have Jose and (Bonifacio) and Hanley in front of me and how they would go get a bat to protect me.
"Jose, Bonifacio, Hanley … all three are gone now. I had people warn me that something like this could happen, but it runs against the competitive nature every athlete has, that nature that everything is about winning. This kind of thing is what gets talked about all the time around this team. Former Marlins come back and they warn us. It gets talked about during the stretch, in the clubhouse, after games, on the road. Again, I do not like this at all."
Earlier this week, Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest told reporters that he is aware that the organization faces challenges to appeal to Stanton, potential free-agent targets and South Florida baseball fans.
"I know these guys live together," Beinfest said, according to MLB.com. "They are under the spotlight every night. They build a different kind of bond. I'm sure this has been tough for (Stanton)."
FOXSports.com also reported that Reyes and Buehrle are upset, too, after being traded despite assurances from the team, which as a policy doesn't include no-trade clauses in contracts, that they wouldn't be dealt.
"Speaking for myself, I'm not aware of any assurances," Beinfest said this week. "I will tell you, if they came from me, they'd be in writing in a no-trade clause. I don't know. I'm not aware of it.
"Generally, with these types of deals, when you're talking about money and with sophistication of agents now today, most everything that is pertinent is in writing."
Reyes signed for six years, and Buehrle for four but played only one season in Miami. Beinfest acknowledged the blockbuster trade, as well as the reaction from the players involved, might affect the perception of the team among current and future free agents.
"I think it will be a factor," Beinfest said of future signings. "I don't think that we're happy about this, at all. I understand that there may be some disdain in the marketplace. It's not going to be my recommendation that we change our view of no-trade clauses.
"It is what it is. We will deal with it. I think it will be a factor. We won't know until we get into those negotiations with free agents, or we show over a sustained period of time that we operate in a certain manner. It's definitely not great for the club, and we're going to have to deal with it."
The other huge backlash has been among South Florida fans, who have been vocal in their criticism and vowed to make their unhappiness known with their wallets.
"I think we can only speak to our actions now," Beinfest said, in addressing fans' anger. "I understand the pause that our fans have with the instability in our roster, and the instability in our manager, and general instability within a time that we were hoping to be very stable here in a new building."
But the bottom line, the Sun-Sentinel noted, was the Marlins, even with a $101 million payroll, finished 69-93.
"I'm not real big on asking for patience," Beinfest said. "This is the major leagues. This is a major-league ballpark, and people expect major-league entertainment for their dollar.
"I'm not going to say, 'Hey, be patient with us, and let's wait for this guy and this guy to get ready.' Our expectation is we're going to provide major-league entertainment right off the bat. Hopefully, we're going to win a bunch of games. Hopefully, our young players will grow up quickly into the types of players that we're hoping they will be."

Milk production in the top 23 dairy states was down 0.1 percent in March compared to the same month a year earlier, according to the "Milk Production" report released by the USDA on Friday.
Across all 50 states, milk production dropped by 0.3 percent.
The Upper Midwest states posted healthy gains again, with Wisconsin up 3.0 percent, Minnesota up 1.8 percent, and Michigan up 3.0 percent.
California, the country's No. 1 milk-producing state, was down 3.3 percent.
The report is mostly in line with estimates and unlikely to have much impact on the markets, says Dave Kurzawski, dairy analyst with FCStone in Chicago.
Click here for the full report.
This is the first of the abbreviated milk production reports that USDA plans to put out. Initially, the USDA suspended the report and several others in the wake of the automatic federal budget cuts known as sequestration. However, the department reversed its decision and announced that it would provide partial milk production estimates through September. Read more here.

Bob still loves Vogel. This is almost a week old, but I haven't seen it mentioned here...
There is this hard and fast rule in sports: If a coach is really good at golf, he's probably not working hard enough at his primary job. So here was Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel, lining up a seven iron on a par-3 at the team's golf tournament at Brickyard Crossing the other day.The backswing was slow and polished, the balance decent, the head down. Then he proceeded to excavate a divot that flew nearly as far as the ball itself. He dug so deep, you could have built the foundation for a condominium complex right there on the spot.
"Wait," he said. "Throw me another ball."
At which point, he overcompensated and thinned it about 100 yards, or roughly 50 yards short of the hole.
"That wasn't good," he said.
No, it wasn't.
But I like coaches who aren't good at golf. It means they're working. It's another reason the Pacers have entrusted this upcoming season -- and presumably future seasons -- to the right guy, a complete unknown a few years back who has completely changed the Pacers' style and culture and turned them into a team with a chance to win the Central Division. (And by the way, this is the last year of his contract, with a team option next year. It isn't my money, but if it was, I'd guarantee next year in a heartbeat and even think about an extension. Just sayin'.)
Incredibly, this is the first time Vogel and his staff will have an entire preseason to work with their team. He took over two years ago at midseason and resuscitated a flat-lining team, made the players feel good about themselves and got the young players into the lineup. Last year, after the lockout, he led them to a 42-24 record and a second-round series where they pushed the world champion Miami Heat to six games.
"We're going to have time where we can fine tune a lot of things and hammer out the details of our systems where we can execute better on both ends," Vogel said. "Bigger packages, more details, more options. Defensively, we can have more flexibility, work on some zones, defensive switching, different variations of our pick-and-roll defense. "Without practice time (in the shortened season), we had to stick to what we did. This will give us time to not only implement new things but to experiment with certain things."
Consider what he did two years ago, changing the culture on the run while taking over at midseason.
Consider what he did last year with a shortened training camp and very few preseason games, jump-starting that team and leading it to its best season in ages.
Now, this coaching staff -- which will return intact -- will have its first full training camp to grow this interesting young team.
For the first time in what seems like forever, the new season comes attached with expectations. They should win 50 games or so. They should compete for the Central Division crown, especially with Chicago's Derrick Rose out for part of the season. They should get to the second round of the playoffs, at least.
What you like, though, is that they're embracing the expectations. At least Vogel is, telling everybody who will listen that this is a team with championship aspirations. Is that excessive? With Miami, Los Angeles and Oklahoma City around, it is. But Vogel has never been shy about shooting for the moon, and if he thinks big, his team will think big.
The Pacers will win 50 games and get deep into the playoffs if:
>> Roy Hibbert handles the pressure that comes with a rich new contract and continues to improve.
>> George Hill does for an entire season what he did for a month when he started at point guard and helped take the Pacers to the second round.
>> Paul George develops into the kind of offensive threat most of us believe he can become. "What a change I've seen in that kid," Vogel said. "Everything about him has changed, the way he talks, the way he carries himself. He's grown up by leaps and bounds."
>> The second unit improves. This is a new-look second unit with Ian Mahinmi, D.J. Augustin and Gerald Green. Already, Green has raised eyebrows with his play during informal workouts. It's also going to be imperative for Tyler Hansbrough to bounce back from a season in which he seemed to lose his confidence at times. As for Lance Stephenson, well, it's put-up-or-shut-up time.
Vogel is unapologetically rah-rah, almost to the point where you shake your head.
Remember the afternoon of Game 5 in Chicago? The Pacers were down three games to one but had played the Bulls to the edge in every game. After the shootaround, Vogel boldly said, "If we win this game, we'll win the series."
Seriously, who says that?
Well, it's the same guy who came out before the Miami series and accused the favored Heat of being the biggest floppers in the league.
He's honest. He's brash. And he brings personality to a team that hasn't been known for anything good for most of the past decade. They've got the right guy running the show.
Even if he could really use a golf lesson.

If takes an act of the Legislature, divorced dads are all for it.
And, a bill in the Legislature aims to do just that.
Dustin Karre, a separated dad in North Platte, said he has virtually no control over when his young daughter gets the therapy she has been prescribed.
Like many divorced dads, Karre has custody of his daughter every other weekend and every other major holiday, every other Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
The childs mother has their daughter the rest of the time, including all the days of the week.
Mom, not dad, makes decisions about doctors and therapists, Karre said.
I want to be a dad, he said. I want to take care of my little daughter, but the law wont really let me.
Karre said if Mom is going out of town for a few days and will miss the childs therapy appointment, he cant do anything about it except offer to keep the child an offer that Mom routinely turns down.
The bill, LB 22, would force a divorce court to set up a parenting plan that provides for both parents to share legal decision-making about their child, other things being equal.
Each parents respective parenting time must be maximized if the bill becomes law.
Fundamental liberty
The bill states that the Legislature recognizes that parents interest in the care, custody, and control of their children is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests.
The bill says the court should treat Mom and Dad equally unless there is evidence to the contrary. No parenting plan could be preferred because of the parent's or child's sex.
Sen. Galen Hadley of Kearney introduced the bill.
Hadley has been introducing the bill for three years now, according to an aide in his office. Hadley feels its important to see that fit parents have a reasonably similar amount of time and opportunity to be parents.
Sen. Russ Karpisek also believes LB 22 is a priority. Karpisek is a divorced dad with two children of his own. He is from Wilber, a town of 1,200 south of Lincoln.
Karpisek said Nebraska saw more than 6,000 divorce cases in 2010 that involved the custody of children. The father was awarded custody in only 10 percent of those cases.
Karpisek said children who spend less than 35 percent of their time with either parent suffer more from medical issues.
Kristina Guerrero-Sisneroz, a family law attorney in Lincoln, said Nebraska tends to award mothers custody, even though most divorce cases involve two fit parents. If the parents do not agree to joint custody, then the judge must choose between them.
The dad only tends to win (sole custody) if the mom is unfit or has another issue where the children are not her priority, Guerrero-Sisneroz said.
Les Veskrna, executive director of the Childrens Rights Council of Omaha, said Nebraska leads the U.S in the number of children in foster care because of a failure to recognize the importance of shared parenting and keeping children with their families.
Hansen: Right thing
Sen. Tom Hansen agrees. He said LB 22 is the right thing to do.
It would require the court to decide whats best for kids, Hansen said. That should always be the case.
Like Sens. Hadley and Karpisek, Hansen said regardless of birthdays, holidays and so forth, the courts should come up with a program that allows for joint custody and joint responsibility for the education and care of the children.
However, despite the support of veteran senators, LB 22 stalled in the Legislatures Judiciary Committee. Hansen said it is not likely to be adopted this year.
It doesnt look like we are going to be able to get to everyones priority bills, he said.
The Legislature adjourns on June 5. There are only about 20 working days left this year.
The bill could remain in committee and move ahead next year. It will have a jump start on other bills, because it has already been introduced and discussed.
The Ernie factor
Hansen said Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha is slowing down the legislative process with long statements during floor debate. On April 8, Chambers delayed a vote on parole for juveniles who are imprisoned for crimes such as murder and first-degree sexual assault.
The Legislature eventually agreed to open the possibility of parole of those kinds of juvenile criminals, if they spend at least 20 years behind bars.
But the vote could have come hours sooner if Chambers had not insisted on more leniency, Hansen said.
He prolongs debates; he questions the religious values of other senators, Hansen said, and sometimes it looks like Ernie will be more obstructive.
The elimination of the death penalty is also scheduled for debate, and that debate will be another long one because Ernie will argue with anyone who disagrees with him, Hansen said.

Purchase College Theatre Students Present MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM At Sage Theatre 8/21-29
Purchase College theater and design tech students will present Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM at the Sage Theatre in New York City, beginning Friday, August 21.
The cast and crew are drawn entirely from the Purchase College talent pool of actors & design technicians, and the budget was raised through independent means.
"Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" is a song by Ma Rainey which makes obvious allusions rather than being dance music. The title Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was used for a 1982 play by August Wilson, showing the exploits and experiences of African-Americans.
The Director of the students' performance, Tabitha Holbert, discovered "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," the 1982 play by August Wilson, through her university class work. Holbert has assembled a cast and crew drawn from the Arts Conservatories at SUNY Purchase. Her production features a nontraditionally young cast, and lends that youthful energy to the smart, often hilarious, just as often tragic dialogue. This, along with the play's interjections of Ma Rainey's blues ballads, makes the stage glow with the intangible, valuable spirit of the music which forms the cornerstone of the action in this soulful, tragic story.
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is set in Chicago, March of 1927. In two acts, the play tells the story of legendary blues singer Ma Rainey and her band, addressing race, religion, art, and the sometimes soul-crushing search for identity in 1920s America. The title of the play, derived from a phenomenally popular flapper-era dance and the title of one of Ma Rainey's actual songs, is in itself a statement about the exploitation of African-American performers by white producers, which becomes one of the play's central conflicts.
Performance Schedule:
August 21st, 8:00 PM
August 22nd, 8:00 PM
August 28th, 8:00 PM
August 29th, 8:00 PM
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom will perform at The Sage Theatre, 711 Seventh Avenue, 2nd floor, New York, NY 10036 - Between 47th & 48th St.
Tickets are priced at $20 for general admission, $15 with student ID.

How do you verify that the respondent is the parent or legal guardian?
I really don't understand what you are getting at. COPPA doesn't require you to VERIFY the age. Only to notifiy members that IF they are under 13 they must do certain things. It's a law in the US and following it is very simple. If a 10 year old wants to click past the age verification and state they are 15...then I am within the law. If I have a 10 year join WITHOUT COPPA and a parent wishes to create a hassle...I could be found guilty of breaking the law. It's that simple.
On my site where I had COPPA...I would get a fax with the parental information and their signature giving permission for the child to be on the site and to collect personal information. Once I even got a letter in the mail with the signed form.
Quote:Well why don't you make the plugin yourself, and if it comes out in 1,4 then you won't need to upgrade the COPPA will you know, so it might all just work out for you in the end mate.
Because I don't like wasting my time as it's a valuble commodity. And you don't sound like you are in the US so COPPA doesn't apply to you.

Millennium Charter High School, the Salinas college preparatory academy with an emphasis on arts and technology, still plans to open its doors in fall 2013.
But it needs money to get there, and state and federal funding for arts programs is hard to come by.
That's why the charter school is grateful for a big fundraiser Saturday hosted by the Media Center for Art Education and Technology (MCAET) Foundation. Tickets range from $100 to $500.
The event is an introduction for MCAET, said foundation board President Phil Esparza.
He said the foundation's objective is to promote awareness and provide support for Monterey County high school arts programs.
"The big papa is the Millennium Charter High School, which is the equivalent of what we created here at CSUMB with the Teledramatic Arts and Technology department," said Esparza, who also works as operations manager at CSU Monterey Bay's World Theatre.
Millennium was scheduled to open this fall. In June, it was reported the school would not meet that goal after a $175,000 implementation grant from the California Department of Education fell through.
Hamish Tyler, the school's executive director, said it received a $250,000 grant loan to fill that hole. The money came from a revolving loan fund from the state that charter schools have access to.
The school will have to start paying for it immediately upon opening, to the tune of $7,000 a month.
The school is also looking to raise funds for a $660,000 matching grant, with help from the foundation.
Tyler said Millennium is working hard to raise the money and make the school accessible to students from across Monterey County.
"We had five kids apply from King City. The question becomes, 'How do we get those kids over here?'" Tyler said. "It's unfair. It's our responsibility to get those kids here."
The school has begun the second phase of its state-of-the-art digital production studio project, which includes a green screen. The second phase is scheduled for completion in May.
The Herald and the charter school earlier this year began cooperating in televising high school sporting events and producing a local sports show on public access cable channels, and plan to expand into cultural offerings in the next year. The Herald also will be involved in providing instructional programs at the school.
In the meantime, Tyler said the school has hosted weekend workshops on dance, movement, theater and more.
Students who were signed up for the fall 2012 semester have been able to do work study in video production.
Tyler said the school plans to provide after-school tutorial hours for students in the spring as a means of making sure potential students are on course with planned curriculum.
It also plans to continue to raise funds with the foundation's help.
"Everything is a struggle for money. The low-hanging fruit is long gone," said Tyler. "We've got to go to it and offer something truly alternative and something I feel is going to be the equivalent of ... the exclusive private schools around here that have access to stuff like this."

Why do I get the feeling that all this emotion stems from his name? He kind of sounds like the nerdy, fancy lad that even the unpopular kids picked on: Miles Plumlee.
Maybe we should start calling him "Sterling Steel" or "Magnus von Armstrong". Somebody call America's Got Talent and see if we can get Nick Cannon to legally switch names with him.
I'm just trying to help...
We needed a backup center that can play now. Plumlee may be able to do that.
For those who don't like Plum, who did you want at backup and how much would you pay them?
Antonio Davis averaged 10.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 31 minutes per game during his senior year at UTEP. I like my chances with Plumlee.
Maybe I am the one that is wrong, but I don't get too worked up either way about a 26th pick in the draft.
If this guy is still on the team in 4 years then it is a great pick.
And yes, I would also bet money that a player or two taken after the 26th pick will be a better player than Plumlee. Will it be any of the players mentioned in this thread as who the pacers should have taken? I have no idea, but probably not - just going by the odds.

Pacers to Introduce Miles Plumlee at Press Conferencehttp://www.nba.com/pacers/news/miles...ess-conferenceThe Pacers will introduce Miles Plumlee at an introductory press conference on Friday, June 29th at 1:00 PM. Stay tuned to this URL for the live feed.
Pacers.com will also be following Plumlee all throughout his first day at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, including a live chat scheduled in the afternoon after the press conference (time TBD). No date yet has been set for a press conference with Orlando Johnson.
Looking on the bright side of things, sure Plumlee is at least 2 years older than every one of these players as well, but he also has experience coming off the bench. So maybe he hasn't proven he can score, but he has proven he isn't a starter. So he's got that going for him.
26. Miles Plumlee - 6.6 points per game
27. Arnett Moultrie - 16.4 points per game
28. Perry Jones - 13.5 points per game

Should we discuss the undrafted players as well?
I guess I didn't realize that if you scored in college, it means you scored in the NBA. That's why Steve Alford was such a great NBA'er, huh.
Pumlee wasn't brought in to score, thats not a good measure. There are reason, many, to criticize this pick, not sure lack of scoring is one of them. Although you'd think with the clanks being produced by Austin Rivers, you'd think he'd have better scoring just from put backs.
Fesenko. Might end up being cheaper than Plumlee. I am disappointed in this pick mostly because I really believe in Fesenko. I think we could have afforded to take the risks on PJ III to develop and mature behind Granger/West, whoever. Im just envisioning a few years from now that we end up regretting taking Plumlee as opposed to one of the dozen players drafted after him.For those who don't like Plum, who did you want at backup and how much would you pay them?
I see Plumlee as a poor man's Ryan Hollins.
wow great point Anthony Davis must suck then because he only averaged 14 points a game. Why in the world would anyone take that tool with the number 1 pick? ...
Fab Melo averaged like 6 points I think, and he went 22 to the Celtics lol. Plumlee's lack of scoring is the last thing we need to worry about. We have enough scoring in the post in Hibbert and West.
While Plumlee's lack of offensive talent is worrisome, his combination of age, and lack of talent in general is the real issue.
The comparisons to Hansbrough might as well start now. At least Plumlee isn't old, undersized, and lacking talent. He's just old and lacking talent.
I ask because you saw something that our scouts, Larry, Vogel and staff didn't see.
And on the flip side, Plum might be better than players picked ahead of him.Im just envisioning a few years from now that we end up regretting taking Plumlee as opposed to one of the dozen players drafted after him.
With all this said, I'm not going to defend this pick, its done. I think its rare a guy is not very productive in College then becomes a really productive pro. I get the whole getting a role player/dirty work guy, but if this was an elite guy at doing those things, wouldn't it show more at the collegiate level. I need to go back and watch tape, maybe he does all those things that don't show up in the box score, maybe he does set crunching picks and gets every loose ball and play tough post defense. I really don't know, although I'm inclined to think, if he did, he'd play more than 20 mins a game for Coach K.
Maybe he is a late bloomer and becomes this, it seems like he has legit size and ability. Its just a ton of ifs.
I also get the Pacers aren't trying to build a team that won 12 games last year, they are trying to fill out a team that they want to continue to grow together with the existing core.
Lastly, I have no argument against the value of this pick, at all. It really seems like you could have gotten him later and picked up assets.
I take solace in this, if Orlando Johnson was picked at 26 and Plumlee at 36, I'd be okay with it. So there's that.
On to Free Agency.

Marcus Camby on a 2 year contract around 6 million or Joel Pryzibilla or trade for Zaza all of these guys would offer veteran leadership and valuable defense.
So the list you provided was proven NBA scorers or proven NCAA scorers? The difference between the two is night and day.
The worst thing now is there will be Duke fans and North Carolina fans arguing with each other on this board. It's already starting.
With the second unit no we don't. Hibbert can only play 30 minutes and West will start so when the second unit comes are whole game plan changes for the worse. The second unit doesn't have a good enough backcourt to score without a good inside presence IMO.
Plus they will all be overpriced.
Only problem I have with it is, how late can a person actually "bloom?" Dude is already going to be 24 years old as a rookie.
Camby played 59 games and averaged 5 and 9 with 1.4 blocks in 23 minutes. For a 2 year contract he would be worth 6 million IMO.

Phillies prefer hot-hitting Brown in left field
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Domonic Brown, who has enjoyed an outstanding spring, belting seven home runs and driving in 17 runs, could hold the key to the Phillies' chances this season.
"He definitely could have a big impact, especially if our other guys are good," manager Charlie Manuel said. "I think he's come a long way. I think he's matured. I think he's learned a lot in the time he's been in the big leagues."
Brown started in left field in a 7-2 win against the Blue Jays on Thursday, and that is where Manuel plans to play him until something forces the Phillies' manager to change his mind.
"I think he's earned that right," Manuel said. "He's improved both places [left field and right], but I like him better in left field."
Laynce Nix, who homered Thursday, and John Mayberry, Jr., will probably alternate in right field until Delmon Young recovers from ankle surgery and is ready to return in a month or so. Young will remain in Florida to rehab, while the Phillies fly north for a two-game set against the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park before Opening Day.
"They can have April," Young told reporters Thursday. "I want October."

Funding for Flex-Fuel Pumps Will Help Build Out Critical Infrastructure and Promote Greater Use of Biofuels
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that Americans will soon have more choices at the gas pump through a USDA program that will provide funding for installation of flexible fuel pumps. USDA is issuing a rule to clarify that the definition of renewable energy systems in the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) includes flexible fuel pumps, sometimes referred to as "blender pumps." This clarification is intended to provide fuel station owners with incentives to install flexible fuel pumps that will offer Americans more renewable energy options. The Obama administration has set a goal of installing 10,000 flexible fuel pumps nationwide within 5 years.
"Flex-fuel pumps will give Americans a choice to purchase domestically produced renewable transportation fuels," Vilsack said. "USDA's energy programs are helping to build a clean energy economy, while creating green jobs here at home and making our nation more energy secure in the long-term."
Today, most gasoline sold in this country is a mix of 10 percent ethanol. Currently, there are 8 - 8.5 million flexible fuel vehicles on U.S. roads, constituting about 3.2 - 3.5 percent of the approximately 250 million vehicles on the road. These flexible fuel vehicles can be fueled with E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). There are approximately 2,350 fueling stations that offer E85 of the more than 167,800 stations nationwide. Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the results of E15 testing on vehicles years 2001 and younger. EPA's findings confirms there are additional vehicles on the road able to take advantage of higher ethanol blends than currently available at your local, non-E85, pump.
In addition to flexible fuel pumps being eligible for funding under REAP, Vilsack noted that:
* Grants are available for audits of energy improvements and studies to determine the feasibility of renewable energy systems; and
* Agricultural producers in non-rural areas are eligible for REAP assistance. Small businesses must still be located in rural areas. This clarification makes REAP eligibility requirements consistent with those of other USDA energy programs.
A Federal Register notice on these clarifications will be published in the near future. USDA Rural Development will meet with elected Tribal officials in the upcoming months to discuss the impact of the changes on Tribal governments, communities and individuals. USDA will also host a series of informational meetings and workshops to explain the rule changes and to bring stakeholders together to advance retail Flex-Fuel installations. For information on the meeting in your state, contact for your Rural Development office. A list of these offices can be found at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/StateOfficeAddresses.html.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of nearly $149 billion in loans and loan guarantees. Visit http://www.rurdev.usda.gov for additional information about the agency's programs or to locate the USDA Rural Development office nearest you.

Nicklas Backstrom's trip to a neurological specialist went just fine.
The Washington Capitals center told reporters Friday that he didn't have a concussion and expected to play in the team's Jan. 19 opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning—"if I make the lineup."
— NHL schedule 2013: Opening night games
That shouldn't be an issue. He's quite good.
Backstrom, 25, hadn't played since Dec. 26 with his KHL team, when he was checked head-first into the boards. The injury was first diagnosed as a bruise, but it lingered enough for Backstrom, an All-Star with a $67 million contract, to visit Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, head of the University of Michigan's Neurosport program.
Everything checked out, which is good news for Backstrom and his team. He missed about half of the 2011-12 season with a concussion, and the Capitals' group of centers, despite the addition of Mike Ribeiro, would deeply struggle to make things work without him.
In any case, it looks like they won't have to worry about that.
"Nothing serious," Backstrom said. "Feels good to be back here and practice on ice again."

A VOLUNTARY service has been awarded £5,000 to give a lifeline to people in the community.
The Befriending scheme, run by the Castle Point Association of Voluntary Services, has been given the cash by Santander bank's Community Plus initiative.
The scheme sees dedicated volunteers visit lonely or isolated people in Castle Point and Rochford, and provides companionship and emotional support on a weekly basis.
The Befriending scheme was nominated by Trevor Matthews. His mum Lilian, 93, has been using it for the past six months.
Trevor said: "The Befriending scheme has been a lifeline to my mum.
"Her befriender, Lynda, comes to visit every week to sit and have a chat while I am able to get on with things I need to do.
"My mother looks forward to seeing Lynda and they have become good friends.
"I am really pleased I have been able to be part of helping the scheme receive this donation."
Sarah Hillion, branch manager at Santander in Hadleigh, said: "We are delighted to be supporting the Befriending Scheme and hope the donation makes a real difference to local people."
The scheme, which has now been running for two years, was funded by the Castle Point and Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group and Family Mosaic, but it is now being supported by other groups.
If you would like to become a volunteer or know someone who may benefit from having a befriender, contact Beverley Parrish at Castle Point Association of Voluntary Services on 01268 638416 or e-mail beverley.parrish@castle pointavs.org.uk

From the local paper in Forest City, North Carolina. The first time I heard he was doing this was from the paper yesterday.
Reds pitcher and family looks to help others this Christmas
By SCOTT BOWERS
Daily Courier Sports Editor
FOREST CITY — Each and every year in our community thousands of individuals, hundreds of church groups and dozens of organizations come together to aid those in need at Christmas time.
Add the Coffey family to that list.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher, Todd, and his wife, Nikki, are in the early stages of creating an eventual foundation that they hope will help families all across Rutherford County.
This year, the Coffey's teamed up with the Rutherford County Department of Social Services and Robin Spence in selecting one family
to provide Christmas too.
" Todd contacted his cousin, Joy Lancaster," said Spence. "She in turn contacted me about finding a family. We have so many but I have worked with Mildred Logan and she is so deserving of something like this."
Logan, who is rearing her three teenage grandsons, was brought to tears by the generosity when the Coffey's arrived on Thursday, December 21 with gifts, food and household items. "I just feel so blessed," said Logan.
The Coffey's brought gift cards from area merchants, various food items, new pots and pans, three 10-speed All-terrain bicycles, three CD players and three brand new pairs of Nike tennis shoes including one special order pair.
"I needed a size 16," said Coffey. "So I called Nike and they had them to me the very next day."
Logan's three grandchildren — Chris, Perez and Tyler — were pleased with all the items as the giftgiving brought more tears to the eyes of Spence.
"She is trying to raise three grandchildren on so little each month," said Spence. "She works so very hard and they as a family are trying so hard."
The Coffey's want this year to be just a start on the couples long-term plans.
"My hope is to jump start something that will give back to Rutherford County," Coffey said. " We want it to grow — to bring in local businesses — and not to dissuade the money that goes internationally or nationally to organizations. I support those too but to try and build something that helps the people right here."

|Route Climbed: Normal route from Kals Date Climbed: 2005 june
|I climbed the peak with one of my friend from Kals in two days. Due to bad weather and my aching knee we tented on the glacier below the Erherzog Johannes Hütte and on the next day we reached the peak. It is a beautiful route and mountain so I can recommend it to everyone :)

|One of the most interesting climbs I ever made - valley glacier, steep ascending on morrain, glacier again, some snow, few beers in at Erzherzog-Johann hutte, some nice and easy climbing and there we were :-))
Beautiful weather, picturesque views from the top.
Descending via Leitertal - long, tiring but beautiful.
The only negative experience - austrian guides rushing unexperienced and tired hikers near the summit along our group with stupid comments (to us), traffic jams near the summit.

|Started climb round 7am from Studlhutte. Reached Adlersruhe in 1,5 hours over Kodnitzkees. From there in 2 hours to the summit. Wasn't as crowded as expected, but still some delay at Glocknerscharte. Unfortunately summit was misty, so no great view from Austria's highest. Wasn't lucky that week, while on Grossvenediger no sign of Glockner and now vice versa. Back in ErzHerzogJohanhutte round midday. Stayed there overnight, to walk back to Lucknerhaus next day. About 5cm snow during night, nice for photos.

Route: Departing at Lucknerhaus (1918m) at 6:00, reaching summit (3798m) at around 13:00, staying 45min, returning to Lucknerhaus parking lot at around 20:00.
After trying to summit Grossglockner solo and in a single day in October 2002, where I turned around 40 m below Kleinglockner I achieved the goal one year later in the great summer of 2003. After reaching the summit I was there for about 15 minutes totally by myself with perfect blue sky before the next crowds moved in. During the descent on the ridge below Adlersruhe there was a thunderstorm passing through. Because of many roped parties moving slowly, descending fast was impossible. Nevertheless I returned safely after having had a great day.

In the fog and the drifting snow the sound of the house's bell lead us back to the hut. After an hour rest, in the deep snow we struggled down to Lucknerhaus. That was my most tiring climb ever.
In Dec-2000 we made another try but reached only the Studlhutte, and climbed the peak above the Hut.

|Route Climbed: 'Stuedlgrat' ridge Date Climbed: Summer 1998
|I can recommend this route, except when there are icy conditions. I cannot recommend to enter the ridge early (boring, bad rock), better stay as long as possible on the glacier to the left. As described in the route section. The 'Stuedl' route is not so crowded as the normal route and there are ways to overtake others or let them pass. Which is contrary to the normal route with sometimes chaotic scenes. Some time ago there have been 'Schweineschwaenze' (pig tails) on the ridge you could link the the rope in without biners. Speeds you up a lot and you run simultaniously. But I have heard they have been destroyed ?? If you are a good climber you will need the rope only on some pitches.

The more than 700 CEOs that responded to the survey clearly showed they are concerned with human capital, innovation, and internal processes and policies to position them to get ahead in a slow economy, as opposed to dealing with external factors such as global political or economic risk. This webcast, which investigates how companies are seeking to meet the top human capital challenge, finds that the differences in the ways CEOs approach these challenges are sometimes surprising.

When it comes to totally ludicrous things to waste $400 on this is right up there with the most ludicrous of the ludicrous.
Bandulu is selling a replica of Kanye West's mustard stained shirt from his 2004 All Falls Down video.
The clothing line—which creates pop culture-inspired replicas—has taken a pink Ralph Lauren polo shirt and embroidered a mustard stain on it—Oh that's worth EVERY cent of $400!
But hurry! They've only created ONE of these masterpieces!!!
According to the website:
Bandulu means fake, bootleg, ghetto. Like that white tee from Marshall's with the name of some couturier, screenprinted in gold. That little bit of luxury gives clothing a story, with or without vanity. Bandulu believes in adding this quality to the clothes of our world, through upcycling and craftsmanship. Bandulu takes quality, vintage clothing and rejuvenate life into them through hand embellishments. Quality therefore becomes less about reputation, and more about integrity. You know its real if its fake.'

Ark. bill would name city world's poultry capital
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas lawmakers have hatched a plan to market the home of Tyson Foods Inc. by declaring it the "Poultry Capital of the World."
The Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a bill that would give Springdale the new title. The name would be written into a section of state law that names Arkansas' official flower, motto and bird, among other matters.
The town of Cotter is named "Trout Capital of the U.S.A." in that section.
Republican Sen. Jon Woods of Springdale said a city council member had approached him about the idea as a way to market the northwest Arkansas city.
Woods says the proposal does not require any state funding
The bill now heads to the state House for consideration.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Boggs searching for answer to struggles
ST. LOUIS -- The ninth-inning runs meant nothing to an outcome that would have needed an offensive explosion to change. But for Mitchell Boggs, the inability to pitch a clean inning on Sunday only piled more frustration on a reliever who is desperately seeking a morsel of positive reinforcement.
Visibly irritated with his latest outing, Boggs stood at his locker after the game to field what must now seem like never-ending questions about his attempt to regain his confidence.
"It's not easy," Boggs said of a month in which he has posted a 12.66 ERA. "I'm obviously not ecstatic about how it's going. It's hard to be positive, but you have to do everything you can to fight every single day. If anybody can't see that, they're crazy.
"I certainly don't think I'm at a disadvantage. I certainly don't think when I go out there that guys are fighting to get to the bat rack because there's a guy out there that's terrible. I don't feel that way. It helps to know that [manager Mike Matheny] is behind me and that these guys are behind me. And I'm going to keep fighting. That's all I can do. I've said it time and time again, and I'll keep saying it."
Having already lost the closer's job and a hold on a setup role, Boggs entered with the Cardinals trailing by four in the ninth on Sunday. The inning started with a bloop single to right and a broken-bat hit to left. After striking out Jose Tabata and pitching around Garrett Jones, a slow grounder scored the first run.
Marc Rzepczynski relieved Boggs from there and allowed both inherited runners to score.
"He was throwing better today," Matheny said of Boggs. "It was one of those days that probably wasn't reflective of his stuff going in a better direction. You just have to keep fighting."
Finding progress amid poor results, though, is much easier said than done for Boggs, who labeled this tumultuous month as the toughest challenge he's ever faced in his athletic career.
"It's hard to, especially 30 minutes after it happens, it's hard," Boggs said when asked if he could point to any positives. "You want results. That's what this game is all about. And the results that I'm getting right now aren't what I want them to be. But I have to continue to show up every single day and do the things that I've been doing. It's going to turn. I don't care what anybody says. I can go out there and compete with anybody. It's going to happen."

It's been a year since Elektricity switched on in Pontiac as the go-to Electronic Dance Music club in the metro area.
And it's not letting that anniversary go unnoticed.
But co-owner Amir Daiza says the celebration -- which takes place Friday, Nov. 16, with performances by ATB and Rudee -- won't be about back-patting. Rather, it will feature a "reveal" of new, state-of-the-art sound and lighting to enhance the club's environment.
"Today it's not only about the music but the production, sound, lights and video," explains Daiza, a Detroit veteran who has previously opened local music institutions such as Clutch Cargo's, Saint Andrews Hall and Industry.
"When we opened, we promised to bring Ibiza, Vegas and Miami to metro Detroit. Now we have, and have even outdone some of the world's best electronic dance clubs."
Daiza says more than 150,000 people have trooped to Elektricity during its first year, dancing to top EDM names such as Paul Oakenfold, bt, Dada Life, Zedd, Calude VonStroke and Kevin Saunderson's Inner City. Elektricity also co-promoted the 2012 Identity Festival, both inside and in front of the club on S. Saginaw St. Daiza and company hope to make Elektricity's second year just as notable, with a return visit by VonStroke, and back-to-back booking of Detroit techno pioneers Saunderson and Derrick May, Tritonal and Sander Van Doorn, among others.
Elektricity's one-year anniversary celebration with ATB and Rudee takes place Friday, Nov. 16, at 15 S. Saginaw St., Pontiac. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Admission is $15. Call 248-599-2212 or visit www.elektricitymusic.com.
