I arrived home to find that our home had been burglarized and that several items were removed, including a firearm that had belonged to my dad and jewelry taken from my wife's closet, among other items. Your personnel came to our home and took items the burglar touched for fingerprinting on the morning of the burglary. The officers demonstrated concern and courtesy. We were impressed by their willingness to take the necessary time to process our home.
About a week later, our neighbors noticed a person looking through their window in the middle of the night. The neighbor got into his car and spotted a young man going through a vehicle about 2-3 blocks away on Westover Avenue at about 3:15 am. He spoke to this young man before he ran away. The neighbor gave the description to us. We gave the description to our daughters in Bloomington since the young man's age seemed to correspond to theirs. Sure enough, an acquaintance of our daughter suggested a possible suspect based upon the description we provided. We then gave the name to Detective Haines along with the name of a young woman who had driven the young man to Bloomington on a recent visit.
Detective Haines followed up immediately. He found the address of the young man's parents. He then questioned the suspect and his parents. He got sufficient information from him to begin assessing the extent of the burglary. He noticed the young man's phone and asked about it, knowing that my old phone had been taken. This heads-up thinking resulted in the young man admitting that the phone was my old phone. The phone was provided to Detective Haines. From that, the detective obtained text messages that further detailed the crime. In addition, he questioned the young woman who drove this person to Bloomington for a visit with friends following the burglary. From that, he got information from the online service that showed her pawning the property the day after the burglary.
We encountered a delay in getting pictures of the property from the pawn shop but that was not the fault of Detective Haines. When we finally got the property returned to the store, it was identified as our property, but some jewelry with great sentimental value was lost. In less than one month, the individual who took items from our home was in jail. Also, I have a lead on the location of my dad's gun and we are pursuing that.
This investigation not only solved our burglary but another one in our neighborhood. It may also explain a rash of car break-ins in Southwood Park. More importantly, it will lessen the fear of the neighbors that the thefts and break-ins will continue. Again, the officers involved in this case, especially Detective Haines, deserve credit for their perseverance and hard work. We are proud of the work we as citizens did to assist in the apprehension (but) had it not been for the interest shown by the FWPD and Detective Haines, the alleged perpetrator would not be incarcerated at this time.
Mark and Susyn GiaQuintaTwo recent news articles made me question the value of human life in this country and how cheap it has become. In one story, a woman ignored the abuse her boyfriend gave her four young children for years and was given a suspended sentence. The other featured a couple who hoarded cats and were given 11/2 years in jail. The apparent message is that abuse of children is bad, while the abuse of cats is really, really bad. If life gets any cheaper you'll find it on sale at the dollar store.

SWINDON College Old Boys were within 10 seconds of their first win of the Southern Counties North season on Saturday but in the end they had to make do with the all-too-familiar feeling of defeat.
Milton Keynes scored with a penalty with the final kick of the match at Pipers Way to claim a 32-30 victory, leaving chairman Martin Peaple and the rest of the Old Boys set-up "gutted".
However, Peaple was quick to seize on the positives, which included a two bonus point haul and the fact College kept so close to success against a side challenging for third place in the league table.
"You can't get a lot closer than that," he told the Advertiser. "It was nip and tuck all the way through the game. It was a close game, a good game and you can't do much more than that. We get the two bonus points for it but it is gutting for everyone who was involved in it a little bit, especially after having to forfeit the Stow game.
"I think we're the third highest bonus points scorer in the league, which shows how close we are to the other teams in the league but unfortunately we're not getting across to the win.
"We're so close and yet so far but it was a good game, they weren't a bad team and we played really well. You can't moan about anything, it just shows that we're there or thereabouts but we don't quite have the cutting edge at the moment to convert those near-misses into wins."
Joe Gill registered first for Old Boys, kicking a drop goal and a penalty to put his side 6-3 in front before Tommy Farr was sinbinned.
Milton Keynes took advantage of their superior numbers to take a 15-6 lead into half-time but Old Boys, restored to full strength, came out strongly after the break.
Dan Cooper made the most of a yellow card to a MK player, to reduce arrears but the visitors responded with a converted try.
Another Milton Keynes sinbinning cued Michael Bizley to go over for College's second try and, having then fallen 29-16 behind, Adam Reeves crossed the whitewash before a penalty try put Old Boys 30-29 going into the final seconds.
In the end, however, the away side had the last laugh and Peaple & Co are now staring relegation squarely in the face.
"We took plenty of bonuses out of it because we're still taking those people out of our second team at level seven and bringing them in," said Peaple.
"Everybody is stepping up so we've got to be sensible about it. I think you can say that the inevitable is we will slide down into the next level at the end of the season but we just need to manage that, keep it going and keep breaking in the players from the twos."

I love baking but my efforts of trying it at home often lead to disaster. Soggy Victoria Sponge anyone? So when I heard about You Make a Cake, a DIY bakery in Bellevue Road, Wandsworth, I was intrigued to see if I could learn from the masters.
I headed to the shop with two work colleagues on a Thursday evening. The business was set up by mum Emma Holland in 2010 and has been a roaring success, with VIP customers such as Hugh Grant, Mark Owen and Dawn Porter all giving it a go.
Visitors are promised the ultimate cupcake party experience, proving to be a popular choice for children's birthday parties, hen parties and team building events.
In advance of the session we were each asked to choose what type of cupcake we would like to make from a huge list, ranging from simple vanilla to the more exotic sounding chilli chocolate. I decided to go for marbled, while my friends went for rocky road and carrot cake.
On arrival we were greeted by our friendly baking assistant Cappi Henderson, with our ingredients and cooking equipment already laid out for us on tables. We also took along a bottle of wine and some nibbles to enjoy, making it a proper girl's night out.
It reminds me a bit of a food tech class at school, but much more fun. We use trendy scoops and scales to measure out all of our ingredients and get mixing, having to use two separate bowls for my vanilla and chocolate marble cake.
Cappi is then on hand to tell me how to get the desired marble effect as I delicately swirl the mixture together in cupcake cases. She then whisks them into the oven for us, while kindly answering all of our baking related questions.
Next up is the buttercream icing, something I've never attempted to try at home as it sounds far too complicated. We're given a choice of colours - I opt for bright orange and white. We measure out the ingredients again and get mixing, as Cappi puts in the dye.
Next we are given piping bags and instructed how to fill them, how to hold them properly as well as a demonstration of three different patterns to try out. In the meantime our cakes have cooled and are ready to be decorated.
I find myself not as much as a whizz at decorating, but after some tips from Cappi my 12 cakes are looking professional.
At the end of the session we're given You Make a Cake boxes to store them in, if you manage to get them out of the shop without wolfing them all down first.
The best thing about the whole evening - we didn't have to clean up. That was all taken care of by Cappi, removing all of the tedious bits about baking. It was also fun being able to turn baking into a sociable occasion, something which you are normally confined to doing on your own at home.
It was great being able to gossip with friends, while doing an activity we all enjoyed. I would definitely give it a go again, perhaps for a birthday party with a difference.

FIRE crews had to break into a house in Farnworth to rescue a woman who became trapped after her cooker set alight.
A fire service spokesman said the cooker had been left on accidentally and caught fire at the house in Phethean Street just before 3.40pm on Saturday.
She was alerted by her smoke alarm and closed the kitchen door but could not find her keys to leave the mid-terrace house.
She was treated by paramedics at the scene.

My 10 yr old son cannot listen and blames everything that happens on someone/something else and I have no idea what to do and haven gotten any advice from anyone that works. There's more than that stuff, but no need to get into the nitty gritty. I've tried every type of punishment and positive reinforcement I can think of with him and nothing works. I know part of it is him getting spoiled when he was little because he was the first kid the wife and I had an the first on either side. He just has no responsibility and little caring for anyone else when it doesn't involve him benefiting in some way. It's been going on for a few years, even before my wife and I talked about having a second kid. He acts just like my brother in law which isn't a good thing.

Philip Anselmo on Pantera Bandmate Vinnie Paul: 'First and Foremost, I'd Tell Him I Love Him'
The discord between singer Philip Anselmo and drummer Vinnie Paul has been well chronicled, with Anselmo recently expressing his desire to reconnect with his onetime Pantera bandmate.
Anselmo has said that he would be open to a heart-to-heart talk with Vinnie Paul, yet admits the chances of that happening are very slim at the moment. In fact he questions if it will ever happen.
We just spoke with Anselmo about his new solo album, 'Walk Through Exits Only,' which is due out in the summer, and towards the end of that interview (which we will be posting in the near future), the conversation turned toward Pantera and his relationship with Vinnie Paul.
We asked Anselmo what he'd say to Vinnie Paul if that one-on-one conversation ever did happen and he gave us a very emotional, thoughtful and detailed answer:
Well, first and foremost, I'd tell him I love him. I love the guy — as different as both of us are individually, we're very different people. But the same can be said for all of us in Pantera. Rex [Brown] and I are very different people. Dimebag and everybody [were] very different people.
I would let Vince Paul know that I love him very much, and I would apologize to him for his misinterpretation in not understanding where I was coming from in my lowest point in our career. And then I would definitely touch upon how much lack of communication played a big role in our breaking up. A lot of that is on my back, which I've completely f—in' owned up to. But I'm not sure the rest of them have owned up to their side of things, especially Vince, when it comes to communication.
At least in my life, I cannot hold onto grudges. It's a waste of energy, a waste of time. And really, and I feel strongly about this, after we lost Dimebag in such a horrific way, I just cannot help but feel that Vinnie Paul's entire healing process could have been helped a lot more had he reached out to Rex and I, and we could have healed somehow together — whether you want to call it 'healing' or not. But if we would have really focused together on this thing and come out of it as brothers — because we are brothers — in certain ways we could have formed an even stronger bond together. But that did not happen and I think it's hurt us.
Put it this way, I don't ever expect Vince to bend or break on his stance at all, I really don't. But if ever given the chance, man, to get straight back to your f—in' question, I would just really give him all the apologies, I'd tell him I love him and then I would say, 'Look, let's get down to differences now. You're gonna have to hear my side of it. Take it or leave it, because you can leave it – you've already locked it out for x amount of years. What's the harm in hearing me out one on one, away from everybody? What's the harm?'
I have no anger toward Vince. No one can question a person — really he saw Darrell get shot. That's a scarring thing for anybody. I wish it can be seen for what it is and that blame did not have to fall on anyone's head or any circumstance. Because really it was a psychopath who had a hard-on for Pantera and it's very well-known fact between Rex and I, between my family and myself — we all had to go through a lot of soul searching — but it could have been Rex, it could have been me, it could have been Vince. It was Darrell that was murdered and it's just the way it happened. I could say, "I wish it would have been me'" or anything like that — I can say a million f—in' things, man, and it still would not bring Dime back.
So this is always gonna be a tough thing to talk about, and I really wish instead of talking about it in this interview, Vince and I can be talking about it together and just ironing this thing out. I'll end it with this: I don't think this is fair to the Pantera fans. I really don't. When you're a fan of a band, you don't wanna hear about them fighting. You don't want to hear about their negativity. You don't want to read that s–t. You don't want to f—in' hear about that crap.
I think it would mean a whole lot to a whole lot of people if one day Vince and I and Rex could all sit in the same room and work things out to the best of [our] abilities. I think everyone would breathe a great big sigh of relief, but the sad thing is I just don't see it happening.
Philip Anselmo's debut solo album, 'Walk Through Exits Only,' comes out July 16. You can also catch Anselmo on tour with his band Down beginning in late May and at his inaugural Housecore Horror Film Festival in October in Austin, Texas.

GSA, FBI Mark Opening of New Indianapolis Field Office
Complex's sustainable design increases workspace efficiency and reduces energy costs.
October 27, 2011
Deborah Ruiz, 202-253-8807
INDIANAPOLIS – The U.S. General Services Administration today dedicated the new, energy-smart field office for the FBI.
"GSA is an experienced leader providing federal agencies with modern, efficient and sustainable buildings," said Ann P. Kalayil, Regional Administrator for GSA's Great Lakes Region. "We're building on that experience here to provide the men and women of the FBI with a workspace that reduces energy costs and consumption and helps them to work more efficiently, so they may continue to ensure the safety of our nation."
Construction of the field office helped boost the local economy by creating 1,100 local jobs, including 150 management positions. Materials used for the project -- many of which were recycled products -- were sourced locally wherever possible.
Located near Interstate 465 and Allisonville Road on a 14-acre site, the three structure complex features energy-efficient lighting fixtures and controls, low-consumption plumbing fixtures, native landscaping, insulated exterior glazing, and an energy-efficient roof. These features continue the federal government's efforts to protect the nation's natural resources and furthers GSA's goal of achieving LEED Silver certification for the project.
The complex itself is comprised of an office building, a parking structure for more than 120 vehicles and a maintenance-repairs annex.
GSA is responsible for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of more than 9,600 federally-owned or leased facilities, including 425 historic properties, that house more than one million civilian employees of the federal government at 60 different agencies. GSA's overall energy conservation program began in 1973. Since then, cost-avoidance and energy-conservation measures have delivered more than $2.25 billion in savings.

As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased
buildings and 215,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services
making up approximately 14 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen
engagement; and,
• Promoting responsible use of federal resources through development of government-wide policies
ranging from federal travel to property and management practices.

WILL CHRISTINE McVIE REJOIN FLEETWOOD MAC? In a recent interview with Britain's Sun, drummer Mick Fleetwood said he hopes to bring singer-songwriter-keyboardist Christine McVie out of retirement and back into the band. With the exception of a 2004 solo album that failed to chart here and only hit No. 133 in the U.K., she retired since quitting The Mac in 1998. It's been said by band members that the main reason for her departure was her well-known fear of flying, and that she has remained on good terms and in touch with her former bandmates.
However, Fleetwood is encouraged, saying, "I'm seeing Chris here in London before I leave and even though she loathes flying and she's never been back to the United States since the day she left (the group), she is getting on a plane and flying to Hawaii with me. I'm going to hold her hand all the way, even if I have to handcuff it."
He continued, "She's going to come and stay for three weeks in Maui. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it. John (McVie, her former husband and Mac bassist) is going to come over from Honolulu to see her and then she's going to L.A. to see Stevie (singer Nicks), who misses her terribly and is really excited to see her. But it'll be her decision. We'd make her very welcome if she wanted to creep on that stage again." Fleetwood Mac's 48-date U.S. tour kicks off April 4 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio and includes stops at the Hollywood Bowl on May 25, the Honda Center in Anaheim on May 28, with a return to SoCal later in the year with shows on July 3 at Staples Center in Downtown L.A. and July 5 at the Viejas Arena in San Diego.
STING AND ELTON AMONG GRAMMY PERFORMERS Sunday's Grammy Awards (televised on CBS) will offer teamings of veteran artists with the younger set, including Sting, who will sing with Rhianna and Bruno Mars, and Elton John with 21-year-old fellow Brit hitmaker Ed Sheeran, who sang Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" with a band that included Floyd drummer Nick Mason at the Closing Ceremony for last summer's London Olympics and written or co-written songs for One Direction (the single "Little Things" that hit No. 1 in the U.K.) and "Everything Has Changed" for Taylor Swift's current CD, "Red."
Other performers include Swift, The Black Keys, Jack White, Kelly Clarkson, Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert, The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, Frank Ocean, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake, who is emerging from a five-year layoff. The B-52 s will play the official Grammy after-party.
Among the presenters are Prince, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Carly Rae Jepsen, Katy Perry, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban.
RINGO AND HIS ALL-STARR...POWERPUFF GIRLS? Ringo Starr has recorded an original song for the Cartoon Network's super CG revival of its popular cartoon series, "The Powerpuff Girls," about three lab-created little girls who save the world on a weekly basis, according to a press release from the network. The special will premiere later this year.
In the upcoming special, Ringo performs "I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl" and he also provides the voice of Fibonacci Sequins, who is called, "Townville's most famous flamboyant mathematician."
Ringo is no stranger to cartoons, animated motion pictures or kid shows.
While English actor Lance Percival provided his voice on ABC's "The Beatles" Saturday morning cartoon show from 1965-1967; and Liverpool-born actor Paul Angelis did that chore on The Beatles' authorized 1968 animated extravaganza, "Yellow Submarine," John, Paul, George and Ringo all appeared in the flesh at the end of the hit movie.
He also served as narrator for 52 episodes of the BBC children's series, "Thomas the Tank Engine," from 1984-1986 and again for an episode in 2007 and again in 2009. Before that, in 1989, he portrayed Mr. Conductor in 20 episodes of another kid's show, "Shining Time Station," that aired on PBS and again the next year in the PBS TV movie, "Shining Time Station: 'Tis a GIft."
In other children-oriented TV fare, he played the Mock Turtle in a 1985 all-star version of "Alice in Wonderland" and a mummy at a Halloween party in a 1998 episode of the sitcom, "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," that reunited several cast members from "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In," with whom Ringo guested in a Feb. 20, 1970 episode of the landmark NBC ensemble comedy series.
An actor with a nearly half-century career in front of the camera, Ringo just finished "Slum Rocks!" with Kevin Bacon, Julianne Hough, Matthew Broderick, Brooke Shields and Fran Dresher, and is set to play a Buddhist monk in the upcoming film, "Rockland," according IMDb.com.
The 72-year-old Beatle is current touring Australia, New Zealand and Japan with his All-Starr Band that includes singer-guitarist Todd Rundgren, former Santana and Journey lead singer-organist Greg Rolie, singer-guitarist Steve Lukather of Toto and Richard Page, former lead singer and bassist for Mr. Mister. The tour runs ends March 1 in Osaka.
In other Ringo news, while he's Down Under, an exhibit of his computer-generated art will premiere on Feb. 16 at the Silver K Gallery in Melbourne. The exhibit will run through April 28. Proceeds from the sale of his artworks will benefit his Lotus Foundation, a non-profit that helps numerous social welfare projects. Ringo's also got a new DVD coming out. A lifelong country fan, in June and July 1970, only months after the breakup of The Beatles, Ringo came to Nashville to record his second solo album, a country record, "Beaucoups of Blues," with some of the city's and country music's finest players, including pedal steel guitarist Pete Drake, who produced Charlie Daniels, guitarists Jerry Reed and Sorrells Pickard, Elvis' drummer D.J. Fontana and his backup singers The Four Jordanaires, harmonica player Charlie McCoy and standup bass player Roy Huskey, Jr.
Last year, he returned to Nashville to record and film "Ringo at the Ryman," a DVD starring Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, featuring the same lineup that's currently on tour, that will be released March 11. Ringo also played Nashville's fabled 2,362-seat Ryman Auditorium, that was built in 1891 and was formerly the Grand Ole Opry House from 1943-1974.
For the occasion, he included several of his and The Beatles countrified classics, including his concert opener, Carl Perkins' rockabilly "Matchbox" that they recorded in 1964 (The Beatles had been performing the song since their pre-Ringo Hamburg days), as well as his own "Don't Pass Me By," and Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison's "Act Naturally," that was a No. 1 country hit for Buck Owens in 1963 before Ringo et al recorded it in June 1965 and released it as the B-side to "Yesterday."
Other highlights include Rolie showcasing Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and "Evil Ways," Rundgren's "I Saw the Light" and "Bang the Drum All Day," Luthaker's "Africa" and "Rosanna," Page's "Kyrie Eleison," and guest Joe Walsh of The Eagles (and also Ringo's brother-in-law), digging out his James Gang classic, "Rocky Mountain Way." Nashville musical guests include Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn and The Raconteurs Brendon Benson.
REG PRESLEY OF THE TROGGS DIES Reg Presley, lead singer of British Invasion group The Troggs, best known for "Wild Thing," died at his home in Hampshire, England, at age 71, of cancer, following a series of strokes over the past year, reports the Britain's Sky News.
Presley fronted The Troggs for nearly 50 years, from its formation in 1964 until late 2011. In January 2012, he posted a letter to his fans on the band's website announcing his retirement, writing, "I was taken ill whilst doing a gig in Germany in December. During my stay in the hospital, tests showed that in fact I have lung cancer. I am receiving chemotherapy treatment and at the moment not feeling too bad. However, I've had to call time on The Troggs and retire."
The Troggs invaded the United States in the wake of The Beatles and had three hits here, "Wild Thing," its follow-up single, "A Girl Like You" and the softer, more delicate ballad, "Love is All Around." Back home, the quartet had eight Top 40 hits, six of which went Top 10.
But, like many British Invasion acts, by 1968, the hits ended.
The Troggs' first biggie, the pounding "Wild Thing," hit No. 1 here over the summer of 1966. It also made it to the top of the charts in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but peaked at No. 2 in the band's native U.K. The everlasting party song was written by Yank Chip Taylor, who is actor Jon Voight's younger brother. The follow-up single to "Wild Thing," "A Girl Like You," with its hum-along verses, was written by Presley. In the U.K., this is the one that made it to No. 1. Over here, it stalled at No. 29.
Their final hit in America, "Love is All Around," also written by Presley, presented the band in a different light to American audiences used to the gruff garage rock sound of the first two hits. The song had legs - it was released in October 1967 and didn't peak at #7 until May 1968.
BBC 6 Music program host Marc Riley said of Presley, "He was engaging, and at the same time, having been so influential, he was so humble and so likable."
TONY ORLANDO LEAVING BRANSON Tony Orlando has announced that after performing lengthy Christmas show runs for the past twenty years in the resort town of Branson, Mo., that caters to families, babyboomers and seniors, this Christmas show will be his last there, according to KOLR 10 News and Ozarks First.
The 68-year-old former leader of Tony Orlando and Dawn is nearing the end of a three-year contract with the Lawrence Welk Resort Theatre and he said in a release by the Welk organization that it was time to take his show, "Tony Orlando's Great American Christmas" "out to America." A spokesman for the theatre said that Orlando will be "a friend for life."
Orlando will continue to tour the U.S. and Canada as he has for decades.
"Tony Orlando's Great American Christmas" will run 20 performances from Nov. 5-30 at the Welk Theatre.
DOORS DRUMMER DENSMORE'S BOOK LOOKS AT BAND RIFT The Doors drummer John Densmore will release a second memoir detailing his life with and without the group, focusing on the rift that developed with keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger. The book, "Unhinged," comes out in April on Amazon's CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing.
His first autobiography, "Riders on the Storm: My Life With Jim Morrison and The Doors," was published in 1991.
The Doors officially broke up in 1973, two years after iconic frontman Jim Morrison's tragic, suspicious and still-inconclusive death in his Paris apartment on July 3, 1971, at age 27 (no autopsy was performed because the medical examiner said there was no evidence of foul play).
The three surviving members reunited several times for various Doors-related projects and events from 1973 through 2000, when they taped a "VH1 Storytellers" episode, using numerous singers in Morrison's stead.
But trouble was brewing. The trio was approached with big buck offers to use The Doors songs in commercials. Manzarek and Kreiger loved the idea. Densmore didn't.
All three approved "Riders on the Storm" for use in a Pirelli Tires commercial, but only in England. Then, in 2002, they were approached by Cadillac. The car company wanted to use the song that got the band its first airplay, "Break On Through (To The Other Side)."
The money wasn't just big, it was huge - $15 million, especially for a single that peaked at only No. 126 on Billboard's Hot 200 pop singles chart. Again, Manzarek and Kreiger were each in favor of the deal. Densmore was not. A staunch environmentalist, Densmore refused to go along with a deal that would help sell big expensive gas-eating cars.
Among other things, Densmore's newest memoir looks at his disagreements with the band that have also seen him sue the other two in order to stop them from performing as The Doors of the 21 st Century, and the twosome's suit against Densmore for more than $40 million.
ALL-STAR TRIBUTE TO COWBOY JACK CLEMENT Legendary Nashville producer-songwriter Cowboy Jack Clement was recently feted at that city's War Memorial Auditorium. Among those paying tribute onstage and on video to the 81-year-old, who discovered Jerry Lee Lewis when he was a staff producer and engineer at Sam Phillips' Sun Records Studio in Memphis, included U2 leader Bono (Clement engineered "Rattle and Hum" that was recorded at Sun Studios in 1987-1988), Taylor Swift, Marty Stuart, John Prine, John Hiatt, Kris Kristofferson, Vince Gill, the duo of Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, T-Bone Burnette, The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and former President Bill Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama, reports Rolling Stone.
EMMYLOU HARRIS CHARGED WITH HIT-AND-RUN Emmylou Harris was charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run driving by the Los Angeles County District Attorney, according to TMZ.
She was charged after an incident back in October on the 405 freeway in which the California Highway Patrol reported the 65-year-old 12-time Grammy winner hit another car and drove away in her rental car. Her rep called it, "just a garden-variety accident that happens every day on the 405." The spokesperson added that Harris wasn't even aware that she hit anyone. If convicted, the Country Music Hall of Famer whose first eight albums were certified gold faces up to six months in jail.
RANDY TRAVIS PLEADS GUILTY, IS SENTENCED Country star Randy Travis pleaded guilty to drunk driving back in August and was sentenced to 180 days in jail. However, if he stays clean for the next two years, spends at least 30 days in an in-house treatment facility, pays a $2,000 fine and completes 100 hours of community service, he can avoid the six months behind bars, according to the New York Daily News. In addition, the 53-year-old Texan must install an ignition interlock device to any vehicle he drives over those next two years. The device will measure his blood alcohol level before he's able to start said vehicle.
Travis was arrested for driving while intoxicated on Aug. 7 last year after he crashed his car in a construction zone. The local Grayson County police found him lying naked in the middle of the road and smelling of alcohol. In addition, when officers tried to arrest him, he reportedly threatened their lives. Earlier in the evening he allegedly walked naked into a convenience store and demanded cigarettes form the cashier, who called the police. Travis left the store when he realized that he didn't bring his wallet and had no money.
His lawyer told People magazine, "He's given up drinking alcohol. He's drinking eight glasses of water a day or more. He's on a strict exercise regimen. He's in the best shape he's ever been in his life."
Since 1978, Travis has sold more than 25 million records, scored 22 No. 1 hit singles and six No. 1 albums and he's won six Grammy Awards.
JIMMY VAUGHN STRICKEN BY HEART ATTACK Organizers of the Mahindra Blues Festival in Mumbai, India, are telling the world that guitarist Jimmy Vaughn, an original member of Texas blues rockers The Fabulous Thunderbirds and the older brother of the late guitar great Stevie Ray Vaughn, suffered a "serious heart attack," according to VVN Music.
A post on the fest's website said, "Jimmie Vaughan was admitted to Pomona Hospital Medical Center on Jan. 23, with an acute myocardial infraction (heart attack). He had a coronary angioplasty and stent placement. He is still in the hospital but recovering and has been advised by his cardiologist to rest at home for a month. He regretfully had to cancel a scheduled trip to the Mahindra Blues Festival in Mumbai, India as a result."
The news of Vaughn's condition comes as his old band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, announced that it is releasing its first album in a decade.
The group, fronted since its formation in 1976 by singer-harmonica player Kim Wilson, will release the 10-cut "On The Verge" on March 19. The band has already begun a tour promoting the upcoming release. The tour includes stops on March 13 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa and on March 16 at Santa Monica College.
WINGS' McCULLOUGH SUFFERS BRAIN DAMAGE Henry McCullough, the original lead guitarist in Paul McCartney's post-Beatles group, Wings, suffered brain damage as a result of a heart attack he suffered in November, McCullough's Wings drummer Denny Seiwell tells the online music website Something Else.
"Unfortunately, we just got some bad news on Henry's condition. By the time the ambulance got there, because of the lack of oxygen from the period of the heart attack through first treatment, he's suffered significant brain damage," he said.
He added that the 69-year-old McCullough's longtime partner, Josie, still holds out hope for a recovery. "Josie is still very hopeful, but some of the doctors, according to friends, don't think that he's going to have much of a recovery. He's going to need constant care the rest of his life."
McCullough first drew worldwide attention as lead guitarist for Joe Cocker's Grease Band. Aside from playing on Cocker's first two albums, the long blond-haired McCullough appeared with Cocker at Woodstock before 400,000 people in August 1969, and in the Academy Award-winning documentary that made Cocker an overnight sensation with his intense version of Lennon-McCartney's "With a Little Help from My Friends."
In 1971, McCartney invited the guitarist to join the new band he was putting together called Wings. McCullough accepted and was with the ex-Beatle for two years. Two weeks prior to Wings leaving for Lagos, Nigeria, to record "Band on the Run," McCullough left the band. He and McCartney had disagreements over the group's musical direction. While with Wings, he left his mark with his guitar work on such hits as "My Love," "Hi, Hi, Hi" and "Live and Let Die."
ORIOLES SINGER-SONGWRITER GREGORY CARROLL DIES Singer-songwriter Gregory Carroll, founder of the early '50 s doo-wop group The Four Buddies and then a member of a bigger doo-wop outfit, The Orioles, died at age 83 at his home in Creston, N.C., after an aneurysm.
With The Four Buddies, Carroll sang second tenor and scored a No. 2 R&B hit in 1951 with "I Will Wait," before quitting the group in 1953 to join The Orioles. He joined that group just in time to record their biggest hit, "Crying in the Chapel" that hit No. 1 on the R&B chart and No. 11 on the pop chart.
Carroll made his biggest mark in 1963 when he and singer Doris Troy co-wrote the smash, "Just One Look." Troy's version reached No. 1 on the pop chart and remains a pop standard. The next year, The Hollies recorded the song and their take made it to No. 2 on the U.K. singles chart and marked their first U.S. chart appearance when it hit No. 98 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. The Hollies version was released again in the U.S. in 1967 and this time it almost made the Top 40, peaking at No. 44. Linda Ronstadt recorded the song and released it as a single in 1979, hitting No. 5 on the adult contemporary chart and No. 42 on the Hot 100.
10,000 MANIACS CANCEL U.S. TOUR Alt rockers 10,000 Maniacs were forced to cancel their upcoming winter American tour because guitarist Jeff Ericson needed emergency back surgery, reports the Asbury Park Press. The tour was to run predominantly in New England, Indiana and Illinois. The band said the tour will be rescheduled late this year.
The band formed in Jamestown, N.Y. in 1981 and has released seven studio albums since 1983. "Music from the Motion Picture," the band's first since 1999, is due to come out on Feb. 26. In 1993, their live take on "MTV Unplugged" on Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith's "Because the Night" with then-singer Natalie Merchant hit No. 11 on the Hot 100 pop chart, No. 7 on the alt rock chart, No. 9 on the adult contemporary chart and No. 10 on the Canadian pop singles chart.
NEW RELEASES Among the recently released albums, digital reissues and deluxe box sets are "All That Echoes," the sixth studio release from operatic-voiced Josh Groban, that includes his take on Stevie Wonder's romantic 1972 ballad, "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" and Jimmy Webb's "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress;" "Two Lanes of Freedom," Tim McGraw's 12 th studio CD since 1993, that includes "Highway Don't Care" with Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban on guitar; a 2-CD "Electric" from famed English guitarist, the founder of Brit folkies Fairport Convention-turned-Nashville transplant, with Alison Krauss on "The Snow Leopard;" "Without a Net," the first album in seven years from 79-year-old jazz fusion sax icon Wayne Shorter, that features his take on the title cut from the 1933 Astaire-Rogers musical, "Flying Down to Rio;" "Smokey Mary" from New Orleans singer-pianist-actor Harry Connick, Jr.; a 28-track, 2-CD, "Sunshine Boy: The Unheard Studio Sessions & Demos 1971-1972" from country folkie Townes Van Zandt; "The Afterman: Descension," progressive rockers Coheed & Cambria bookend to last year's "The Afterman: Ascension;" "Wonderful, Glorious," from L.A. alt rockers Eels; the 16-song "Greatest Hits" from Jewel; "Forever Endeavor," from Canadian folk-pop artist Ron Sexmith and "Bastards," remixed versions of the songs on Bjork's 2011 "Biophilia" CD.
Among the new DVDs are "Paul Williams Still Alive," a docu-reality update on the man who wrote "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays" for The Carpenters, "An Old Fashioned Love Song" for Three Dog Night, "You and Me Against the World" for Helen Reddy and who co-wrote the Oscar-winning "Evergreen," with "A Star is Born" leading lady Barbra Streisand.
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
Jazz guitarist and singer George Benson, a 10-time Grammy winner, began his professional career as a 20-year-old in 1963 but didn't really hit pay dirt until 13 years later, in 1976, when he released "Breezin'."
The LP was recorded with hotshots including Phil Upchurch on rhythm guitar, super bassist Stanley Clarke and drummer Harvey Mason, Sr., and topped Billboard's pop, jazz and R&B charts and went 3 x platinum, huge for a jazz album. The album included a pair of hit singles, the Bobby Womack-penned title cut that became a smooth jazz standard, and Leon Russell's "This Masquerade," a Top 10 pop and R&B hit. "Breezin'" won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album and "This Masquerade" won Record of the Year.
Through 1983, his next four studio albums went either gold or platinum.
However, it was his 1978 live LP, "Weekend in L.A.," that gave Benson the song for which he is best known. The platinum album, recorded at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood with his band that still included Upchurch, Mason and Clarke, included Benson's exuberant take on The Drifter's hit, "On Broadway," composed by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, with help from Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Benson's take made it to No. 7 on the pop chart and No. 2 on the soul chart and gets continuous radio airplay to this day. It also netted him a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance.
He scored a few other hits during this time, including his 1980 single, "Give Me The Night," that reached No. 4 on the pop chart and No. 7 in the U.K. The 1981 double album "best of" "George Benson Collection" also was certified gold, while another compilation, "The Greatest Hits of All" hit No. 3 on the jazz chart in 2003.
Since 1983, he's had a streak of 14 straight studio albums hit the jazz albums Top 10, including eight that made it all the way to No. 1.
Now 69, Benson remains busy. He's recording an album of the music of Nat King Cole and on Sept. 11, he'll headline "George Benson: An Unforgettable Tribute To Nat King Cole" at the Hollywood Bowl. Four-time Grammy-winning jazz singer Dianne Reeves is also on the bill.
Prior to that, he's got five dates on his calendar, including at the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts in Palm Desert on Feb. 16, at the Montbleu Casino in Lake Tahoe the following day, and at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on April 26. He'll be performing his Nat King Cole tribute in Morocco on May 24-25. His last concert date so far on his schedule will find him in Brazil on Sept. 15 at the huge Rock In Rio festival.

YOUNGSTERS braved the great outdoors for some creative half-term fun at Clent Hills.
Wintry Wild Wednesday, organised by the National Trust, attracted more than 80 children, who enjoyed creating winter art using resources from the woods and trying toasted marshmallows.
They were also given the chance to build a den, with help from the Hasbury Scouts from Halesowen.
More fun has been planned for the Easter break, with egg hunts taking place on April 20 and 21, from 10am to 3pm.

Introduction by Roy
Early in 1977, I was getting ready to do a clinic in New Jersey. A young man approached me while I was adjusting the drumset and introduced himself. He said, "Hi, I'm from a new magazine called Modern Drummer. Could I take some photos and perhaps get an interview afterwards?" I said, "Sure, why not?" After the clinic we did the interview and I was later surprised to see myself on the cover on MD's second issue. I've been involved with Modern Drummer to one degree or another ever since.
In 1980, I called Ron Spagnardi, MD's Editor/Publisher and told him I had ideas for some articles for the magazine. He was receptive and suggested Concepts as the title for the column.
Modern Drummer was and still is the best form for drummers. Virtually every point of view is expressed in its pages. This in itself is an unusually objective approach to the subject of drumming. My intent has always been to help young drummers. I believe that's also the intent of MD. And I am extremely proud to have been involved with the magazine virtually since its inception.
A note from Ron Spagnardi
Between 1980 and 1992, famed drummer/author/educator Roy Burns wrote a regular column for Modern Drummer Magazine called Concepts. In his column, Roy offered a wealth of practical, informative, and entertaining ideas on dozens of subjects that concern serious drummers of all ages and at all levels.
During the years that Concepts appeared in MD, the column was continually rated among the top three in popularity among the many loyal readers of the magazine.
The best of Concepts is a compilation of nearly 70 of Roy's most enlightening articles extracted form the pages of Modern Drummer – articles that have inspired thousands of drummers around the world.

Bilingual?Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Consider the following sentence:
>> My pen is in my hand. <<
Name the two languages where the meaning and spelling of ALL the words in the above sentence are exactly the same in both languages. Just the pronunciation is different.
AnswerEnglish and Afrikaans.
Afrikaans is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa and Namibia. The name Afrikaans comes from the Dutch word for "African." It was originally used by the Dutch settlers and indentured workers brought to the Cape area in southwestern South Africa by the Dutch East India Company between 1652 and 1705. Most of the settlers were from the Netherlands, but there were also settlers from Germany, France, Scotland, and other countries. The indentured workers and slaves were Malays and the indigenous workers were Khoi and San. Afrikaans was considered a Dutch dialect until the early 20th century. In 1925, it was officially proclaimed to be a distinct language from Dutch. Afrikaans is one of the 11 official languages of South Africa.

Race breakdown
5:00 – Cat2(sport)/Beginner race 20-25 minutes
5:35 – Pro/Cat1(expert) 25-30 minutes

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Miami Dolphins officials stressed providing jobs to local workers during an announcement about the modernization of Sun Life Stadium Tuesday afternoon.
Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said the project would create at least 4,000 construction jobs for a 22-month period.
"They're from an estimate from those who have been working with us on cost estimates as well as labor estimates," he added.
Dee announced a partnership between Sun Life Stadium and Operation 305 to hire a mostly Miami-Dade County based workforce. The Dolphins want 10 percent of the construction workers to hail from Miami Gardens and 70 percent to be from Miami-Dade County.
"Modernizing Sun Life Stadium will create thousands of jobs for Miami-Dade and pump millions of dollars into the local economy. To ensure that the benefits of this project stay in Miami-Dade, we will be working with Operation 305 and local business leaders to recruit local small businesses and local workers for the construction and ensure that we are hiring a diverse Miami-Dade workforce for this project," said Dee.
"With Miami-Dade's unemployment rate at nearly 10 percent, our community needs the thousands of jobs that the Sun Life Stadium modernization will create," said Christopher Hodgkins of Operation 305. "Operation 305 looks forward to building on the success with the Port of Miami Access Tunnel project and is proud to be partnering with the Miami Dolphins on the Sun Life Stadium modernization project."
Hodgkins handled workers hired to work on the Miami Access Tunnel.
"Concrete raker, steel worker, laborer, a backhoe operator -- all of those folks, what we did on the tunnel is -- if they didn't have the skill, we train them," he said.
The Dolphins also brought in Marsha Jackson as a business consultant, who said she wasn't concerned about the lack of contractual obligations to field a mostly Miami-Dade based workforce.
"Every single project I've done, it has been aspirational goals," she said.
The Florida Legislature must first pass a bill giving the Dolphins a sales tax rebate and allowing a local referendum on the tax subsidy.
"It's hard to imagine that local Miami-Dade representatives could oppose something that is going to bring jobs to our community right now," said Dee.
The first Operation 305 job fair will be held Thursday. Click here to pre-register.
The Deal
The Miami Dolphins say Sun Life Stadium needs at least $350 million in improvements to remain competitive with newer stadiums around the NFL for Super Bowls and high-profile events.
The team wants $289 million from a 1 percent increase in the hotel bed tax in mainland Miami-Dade County and $90 million from a sales tax rebate.
The Dolphins have offered to pay the county and the state back the money it receives from the sales tax rebate.
The Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers, who will move into a new stadium next year, are vying for Super Bowl L in 2016. The loser will compete against the Houston Texans to host Super Bowl LI in 2017.
NFL team owners will announce the locations of Super Bowls L and LI on May 22 in Boston.
Early voting on whether to provide the tax subsidy to the team began Monday. Click here to see the early voting schedule and locations.

SANTA CRUZ - When it comes to local political fundraising, Bruce McPherson continues to lead all comers in the race for the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors, while Zach Friend was the only one of five 2nd District candidates to report raising money.
The latest financial reports clearly make Friend, a crime analyst with the Santa Cruz Police Department and former county Democratic chair, the man to beat in the race to succeed the retiring Ellen Pirie. The first-time candidate raised more than $37,000 since Jan. 1, nearly matching undisputed fundraising king McPherson dollar for dollar over the same time.
"It is truly an honor that so many people have donated their time and money in support of our campaign," said Friend, who only started raising money after Jan. 1. "It takes a community effort to be successful, and I am confident we have built strong foundation for the election. We have done this without taking any (political action committee) or special interest funds."
The race for the 2nd District, which covers Aptos and Capitola, is one of three county supervisor seats up for grabs on the June ballot. If no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates proceed to the November general election.
The other seats up for a vote are the 5th District, covering Scotts Valley and the San Lorenzo Valley, and the 1st District, where board chair John Leopold is hoping for a second term representing Live Oak and Soquel.
Three 5th District candidates - McPherson, contractor Eric Hammer and civil engineer Bill Smallman - are competing to replace outgoing Supervisor Mark Stone, while Leopold faces two challengers.
Leopold reported raising a modest $4,500 for his reelection bid, $1,000 of which came from the United Transportation Union, which represents Santa Cruz Metro drivers and gave a similar amount to Hammer. One competitor, Gary Richard Arnold, reported raising $3,200 - mostly from a personal loan - while Charles Paulden did not report raising money.
Hammer has wrapped up some key endorsements, and has raised more than $33,000, including more than $15,600 since Jan. 1.
But more than $10,000 were loans Hammer gave to his own campaign. He has also spent $17,000 on campaign consultants, and his campaign coffers are all but dry as he tries to compete against McPherson.
Hammer said he is done loaning his campaign money, and that he does expect to compete. He painted McPherson, who lives in Pasatiempo, as someone with closer ties to Santa Cruz than the 5th District.
"A majority of his connections are in Santa Cruz. All mine are in the valley," Hammer said.
A former state lawmaker and Secretary of State, McPherson leads the pack in fundraising, with more than $90,000 so far, and a little more than $40,000 since the new year. He has spent less than half of it, including $5,700 on Meridian Pacific, a prominent Republican consulting firm.
Despite his name recognition, McPherson doesn't appear to be taking anything for granted, and has been pounding the pavement talking to voters. The former Sentinel editor bristled at Hammer's suggestion that he's an outsider.
"Eric doesn't know that I was born in this district, I've lived here all my life, I've written about it and I know it," McPherson said.
Second District candidates Antonio Rivas, Doug Deitch, Rich McInnis and Daniel Beckett and 5th district candidate Bill Smallman did not file reports. Candidates who raise and spend less than $1,000 are not required to do so.
Rivas, a former Watsonville Mayor, said his is coming. He said the campaign is going well and expects to report about $4,000 in donations.
Susan Weber, who will appear on the ballot but is not campaigning, filed a report. So did county school board member Vic Marani, who withdrew from the race in January. Among Marani's expenses was $272 for candidate travel to the Worldmark by Wyndham hotel in Las Vegas.
Backers of two proposed school tax measures also reported their fundraising.
Save Our Schools Scotts Valley, which is supporting a June vote on a three-year, $48 per parcel tax, reported raising more than $16,000 so far.
Santa Cruz' Committee to Renew School Funding has raised just $1,000 so far, most of it from a Gault School parents' group. The measure would raise $2 million through local parcel taxes for arts, library and music programs.

My trading background is primarily as a technician. In the growth methodology that I was taught, technical strength (as in rallying to new highs) was the primary consideration when making a stock purchase. Over the past couple of years, as I've begun employing other fundamental and technical analysis tools, I've changed my view of where the most appropriate buy points occur.
For example, I now scan for 200-day support as a possible entry-point signal, something I never did when I was primarily focused on small- and mid-cap growth trading. For large-caps with a longer potential holding period, it often makes sense to enter when the stock sees support at that longer-term moving average.
Erstwhile large-cap growth leader Priceline (PCLN) closed Monday at $625.50, 2.8% below its 200-day line. The stock has been struggling technically since April, but after big rallies in 2009, 2010 and the first half of 2011, it's not particularly surprising to see a prolonged consolidation here. Priceline's Nov. 9 announcement that it would acquire fellow online travel company Kayak (KYAK) sent the price temporarily lower, but it has since regained those modest losses.
One thing I certainly don't like about the chart: The 50-day line is below the 200-day, which does not bode well for a strong rally. When that situation reverses, however, it may present a good buying opportunity. Another problem is that the number of U.S.-based hedge fund and mutual fund owners did not grow in the most recent quarter. With institutions in essentially wait-and-see mode, the stock will have a difficulty showing price appreciation.
Earnings forecasts currently bode well for further institutional investment, however. Analysts are eyeing an earnings gain of 32% this year, to $30.87 per share. Next year, that's seen rising another 21%, to $37.42 per share.
Another large-cap growth favorite finding 200-day support is Cerner (CERN). The maker of medical records software has been consolidating since June. The company has a penchant for making high-profile deal announcements: Last week, it unveiled an initiative that would let doctors monitor babies and their mothers via Apple (AAPL) iPhones and iPads. It also announced an automated records-management system customized for NBA players. All 30 NBA teams will be using the platform.
There are a couple similarities to Priceline. Here, too, analysts expect double-digit earnings gains in the next two years. Income is seen coming in at $2.36 per share this year, up 26%. Next year, that's forecast to grow another 18%, to $2.78 per share. Also, Cerner's 200-day line is currently hovering above its 50-day line, with the two running essentially parallel as of Tuesday. Institutional ownership weakened slightly in the most recent quarter, correlating with the five-month price consolidation.
One potentially bullish observation about the chart: The stock retreated to a low of $67.64 on Oct. 25 and closed that session 8% below its 200-day line.
That doesn't sound particularly bullish on the surface, but the pullback significantly undercut its prior consolidation, which bottomed out at $75.57 on June 1. That type of action frequently flushes out holders lacking in conviction and sets up the stock for a fresh run-up when new money eventually comes in.

EMERGENCY medics say young people will die unless they heed warnings against swimming in open water during the current heatwave.
School holidays began this week and bosses from West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) have issued a stark message to highlight the dangers of taking a dip in disused quarries or canals.
The warning comes on the second anniversary of a tragedy in Himley which claimed the life of 15-year-old Augusto Zacarias, who drowned while swimming in an abandoned quarry known as blue lagoon on July 25, 2012.
John Woodhall, WMAS hazardous area response team support manager, said: "Water-filled quarries claim lives every year through drowning accidents. They have slippery slopes and unstable rock ledges. The water, which looks inviting, may conceal old machinery and sharp objects left behind after a mining operation closes. Even expert swimmers will encounter trouble in the dangerous and deceptively cold waters.
"We want people to stay safe and be aware that rivers, pools, lakes and disused quarries are not recreation grounds and there are no lifeguards coming to the rescue if you get into difficulty."
Around 400 people drown across in the UK each year and nearly 60 of these are youngsters.
Following the tragedy at blue lagoon, to the rear of the Crooked House pub, the site was drained to be used for landfill but there are many pools, rivers and canals across Dudley which could become death traps during hot weather.
Incidents of drowning peak during the summer holidays and experts say people who attempt rescues rather than waiting for 999 crews to arrive can make matters worse.
A spokesperson for West Midlands Fire Service said: "Drowning is the third most common cause of accidental death among under 16's, particularly during the months of July and August.
"Many who drown often misjudge their own swimming abilities and fail to appreciate the harmful effects that cold water can have on a person's stamina and strength.
"Every year people risk their own lives and sometimes drown rescuing children in the water.
"There are very few drownings in public swimming pools despite the huge numbers of people who use them, because of the high levels of safety enforced."

Pro Tools Recording Session
Well, I'm back from England having finished 5 weeks of recording The Kanyu Tree at Angelic Studios and it's fair to say that pro tools/daw's have changed the way in which records are made forever. This has been true for a while, but this record has point a fine point on this sentiment. This is the bands first record so they didn't have the history of the limits of analog recording so they were free to explore all of the options available to them to make the record that they wanted to. Tempo has always been an issue when making records. What works live doesn't always work on record. Natural timing pushes and pulls give recorded music it's human feel. While locking everything to a grid is appropriate sometimes, it occasionally takes the heart out of a song. This was the biggest challenge on this project.
The producer and the band liked some sections of some songs to be locked solid to a grid, but other sections felt too stiff. We tried recording the songs at several tempos and then edited the sections together, each having it's own tempo. But some songs still didn't "feel" right. The answer came in the form of elastic audio. We averaged out the tempos, recoded the song to a click at one tempo and had the flexibility to change tempos of different sections using elastic audio until the song worked as a whole. While certain sections felt good at a specific tempo, but when the song played through some of the sections still needed to be tweaked just a bit to get the whole song to feel right. I'll state the obvious by saying that this was inconceivable before daws/pro tools came along.
Also, some of the arrangements are huge with many layers of vocals and guitars that would have taken tons of bouncing down and comping to make room for further overdubs. We had the luxury of experimenting with varying arrangements thanks to the massive track count in pro tools. Being that I wasn't sure if I would be the mix engineer for the project, I made sure that the tracks were cut n a way that would allow for maximum flexibility during the mix. The quick example is that I made sure to take a dry di signal on all of the guitars and bass for the purpose of re-amping. Being that I am indeed mixing the record I'm glad that I thought of the mix engineer when recording.
Having spent much of my time over the past years mixing, I had a pretty clear picture in my minds ear of how I though the record would sound when finished. By getting better at mixing, my recording engineer skills have also improved as well. I have a pretty good sense of how different instruments blend together in a mix so I'm able to record them in a way that facilitates the mixing process. Keeping the final mix in mind as I'm recording helps me tremendously when it comes time to mixing as I hope that when other engineers mix tracks that I've cut find that there is less damage control going on and just having fun with the balances and imaging. It was a tremendous experience working with such a talented team and using all of what pro tools has to offer to cut an awesome record. On to mixing……

Morrow lacking fastball command
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow used an exhibition game against the Canadian Junior team to focus strictly on his fastball.
Morrow exclusively threw four-seam fastballs and split-finger fastballs over the course of three innings. He allowed two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and three walks while striking out two in his club's 12-2 victory on Tuesday.
The split-finger fastball was particularly effective, but there's still some work to be done on his regular fastball, as consistent location has proved elusive during his last couple of starts.
"My fastball command was terrible, I was getting frustrated with myself out there," Morrow said. "But [overall] I felt good. I got to 47 pitches, that was kind of the plan, to double up with that number. I threw 45 last time out. Everything was good with that aspect, but I need to tighten up my fastball command -- that's been my problem the last two times out."
Unlike previous springs, Morrow began the Grapefruit League season by utilizing all of his pitches. He feels the slider and curveball are now where they need to be, and the split-finger fastball also got to that point during his outing against Team Canada.
The final component is finding a way to locate the four-seamer, which is the pitch he throws more than any other. He will focus on that again during his next start while his pitch count also will be elevated to approximately 65.
Morrow might not be exactly where he wants to be at this point of the spring, but he's also not very far off.
"I'm not worried, it's going to get there eventually," Morrow said. "I'll just keep working at it. Next time out will be the same thing. I need to iron that out of course. But everything else is feeling good.
"The split, I thought, was great. I threw it for strikes, got a double play with it, got strikeouts with it, and my slider and curveball were good the last couple of times. So I felt like they were in a good spot. Fastball command, that's what it has always been for me and as soon as I get it there, I'll be where I want."

Johannesburg - Twenty six youths have died in the past nine days at initiation ceremonies that include circumcisions and survival tests, police said Friday.
Police have opened 23 murder cases in the deaths in the northeastern province of Mpumalanga, according to spokesman Lt. Col. Leonard Hlathi. He said an inquest is being held into the 24th death, of a youth who complained of stomach pains and vomited.
Initiation ceremonies are common in South Africa, where youths partake in various activities as a rite of passage into adulthood, usually over the course of three weeks. Some 30 000 youths signed up for initiation this year.
In addition to being circumcised, the boys and young men are put through a series of survival tests which sometimes include exposure to chilly winter conditions with skimpy clothing. Their faces are painted with red clay and they also are given herbal concoctions to drink.
Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected president, described the experience in his autobiography as "a kind of spiritual preparation for the trials of manhood".
Hlathi said that all the deaths occurred at government-registered initiation sites where medical practitioners usually are present. The government became involved to prevent such unnecessary deaths.
Mathibela Mokoena, chairman of the House of Traditional Leaders in Mpumalanga, says the Department of Health was alerted before the initiation ceremonies began, but only showed up after the first few deaths were reported. He said the department has now agreed to have officials present for the remainder of the ceremony.
It was not immediately possible to get a response from the department. The department spokesman was on a plane, an assistant said. The minister's spokesman did not answer his phone or respond to a telephone message.
The deaths are the highest recorded in Mpumalanga, surpassing the previous highest toll of eight some years ago, Mokoena said. He said early investigation by the House of Traditional Leaders showed some schools were negligent, leaving the youths in the care of young men instead of experienced adults.
Mokoena said some of the initiates were not in ideal health when they enrolled. He said new legislation is being introduced outlining procedures to be followed, and including a punishment of a life ban for those found negligent.
The suspected causes of the deaths were not released pending the results of post-mortems. Most deaths in the past have been caused by infection and loss of blood after circumcision.
Government spokeswoman Phumla Williams said the government is sending condolences to the families and urged creation of "better and safe initiation schools that will ensure the safe passage of young initiates to manhood and prevent the unfortunate loss of lives." - Sapa-AP

A major wildfire swept north across pastures in northwest Lincoln County Saturday, as planes and ground crews battled for nine hours to get it contained.
The fire started about 1 p.m. central time in the north end of a shelter belt trees just across the Keith County line, northeast of Sarben. It was quickly fanned by south-southwest winds and high temperatures.
Firefighters arrived from 44 departments, from as far west as Chappel, and far east as Cozad and as far south as McCook. Some departments left a five-day-old wildfire near Crawford to help in Lincoln County.
Guenthner said the airplanes were vital.
If not for them, we probably wouldnt have stopped it Saturday, he said.
Each airplane dropped 500-600 gallons of water at a time. Prairie Trace Road was considered as a landing and refilling place, but the road is too narrow, so one plane filled in Wallace and another near Hershey.
Ranch homes were evacuated but no buildings were damaged, Guenthner said. The fire stopped at the Birdwood Creek near the McPherson County line, just short of endangering several ranches.
Road graders in McPherson and Lincoln counties stood by if needed.
The fire covered an estimated 20,000 acres, Guenthner said.
It was a massive effort on a long, hot day, he said. Crews fought hot spots through the night and into Sunday morning.
Some crops were damaged toward the south end of the fire, but the most damage was to pastures and several hay piles throughout the fires path.
Losses are still being calculated. Guenthner said as much as $25,000 was probably spent in fuel and equipment to fight the fire. And, he noted that grass hay is worth as much as $300 a ton, so the losses to ranchers are considerable.
The cause is still unknown. Guenthner noted that Saturday was the opening day of dove hunting season so its possible a hunter was involved, but no conclusive evidence of the cause has been found yet.

Hundreds of beer lovers descended on Malmesbury at the weekend for the second annual beer festival.
About 400 people enjoyed the 22 different beers and 10 ciders on offer throughout the event on Friday evening and Saturday at the town hall.
Organisers have already vowed to hold another similar event in 2015 with preparations due to begin at the end of this year following the increased popularity of the festival.
Co-organiser Ray Sanderson said: "It was a great success. It was really good and relaxed; there were no problems at all.
"Everybody enjoyed themselves and had fun.
"People were saying they would like another one next year, which there will be. We will start looking at that towards the end of the year."
Although a final fundraising figure hasn't been counted yet, organisers are confident they have raised at least £2,000 to be donated to three schools in the town, St Joseph's, Malmesbury Primary School and the academy, Malmesbury School.
"The group of us who organised it thought it would be good to give the profits to local schools, as last year the profits went towards my mayor's fund," added Mr Sanderson, who is a town councillor and was the mayor last year.
"We will be presenting the money to the schools as soon as possible - this beer festival was more successful than last year," he said.
"Most of the beer was drunk so we didn't have hardly any wastage and everybody enjoyed themselves."
Among the musical acts over the weekend was a Neil Diamond tribute band on Friday night and blues and rock performances on Saturday.
The event was designed to coincide with the launch of the Flying Monk Brewery based in Hulllavington, co-owned by Tony Kemp who is one of the festival organisers.
Mr Kemp said that early indications show they have raised about £800 for the schools so far.
He said: "We just need to cross a few 't's and dot a few 'i's before we know for sure.
"This was our second attempt at the festival and it went very well indeed. We couldn't be more pleased with it.
"We had a few more people attend from outside of Malmesbury this year, from Chippenham and Cirencester.
"I think everybody particularly enjoyed the music, so I think next year we should call it the beer and music festival.
"We will be a little bit bigger next year; it's all been a learning curve at the moment so it will help for next year."

Take out a yard stick.
Doesn't seem very long does it?
But at 36 inches it's nearly four inches longer than the world's shortest escalator, which you can find in the basement of a department store in Japan.
My only question: how lazy does a person have to be to skip the stairs for this?

MIAMI - The first female student graduates from the Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Braman Motors' advanced automotive training program.
"It is a great paying job with good benefits," said Joselyn Marrero.
Marrero also landed a job in a body shop after graduating.
"I know everybody looked at me like I was crazy because I was a female but there are no limits for what you want to do," she said. "They treat me good. They respect me and they didn't just give me little work because I was a female. They actually tried to give me things to see if I could accomplish it, to see how I would attack it."
Classes are held at the dealership and after learning in the lab, students go into the shop and work on cars.
"On a daily basis, they get to see what it actually takes to work in this industry firsthand," said instructor Richard Lotito. "They will work in the parts department. They will work in the body shop. They will work alongside the technicians."
Marrero said she has loved cars since she was a child.
"Every since I was a little girl, my dad always took me along with him to fix cars," she added.
Marrero works in the paint department at Braman Motors.
"She is going to work out just fine," said Elvis Smith. "A very ambitious lady and eager to learn."
"Joselyn holds her own," added Lotito. "You might want to call her a trailblazer or a trend setter, but she is comfortable in this environment and she does a great job and it is recognized."
The first 20 graduates of the program all found jobs in the industry.
