Ankla Interview by A_C & Wizard
September 12, 2010, 12:44:47 am »
Welcome ANKLA to the Freefest 2007 .......
Ankla Interview by A_C & Wizard & Various members of the 2006 Ozzfest Message Boards!!!!!
Wizard asks the following;
1. Ramon Ortiz, welcome back to the ozzfest circuit. I really enjoyed PUYA back in 99,..how long has ANKLA been together? Coming back to the ozzfest do you feel a little more comfortable knowing what its all like?
*thank you very much,Ozzfest 99 was an amazing experience that marked a turning point for Puya and now I'm getting ready to do it again with Ankla.It's really exciting and yes being the second time around for me makes me feel a lot more confident cause I know what to expect.Ankla has been together for 5 years.
2.Where did you guys cut your teeth? Where was your most frequented scene and where is home?
*for the past 5 years we have been based in Los Angeles ,playin the scene, the clubs on the Sunset Strip like the Wiskey Ago go,the Trobadour,the Keyclub.We stretched a little bit on the west coast but our first national tour happened last year after we signed with Bieler Brothers Records.We have also played twice in my hometown Puerto Rico.We are gonna go there for the third time next month.
3.ANKLA,..great symbol. something very heavy that holds the ship steady and yet can be pulled up to sail on away. Who thought of that? Who does all the artwork? Thats pretty impressive as well.
*I officially formed the band at the end of 2001 when I joined forces with my vocalist Ikaro Santana but I had thought of that name way before then.The further we move forward as a band the more I feel that Ankla is the perfect name for it.The image and sound is really simple in a barbaric kinda way ,brutally heavy,metallic and staighforward with one direction and one purpose...to sink in deep and crush!!The artwork was courtesy of a young artist friend of mine called Angel Resto.The album title is Steep Trails and I think visually he captured all the pain and glory behind the concept.
4.Your finely polished works done under the wing of Bob Marlette of Black Sabbath fame has been out for a while now. How has it been recieved by fans and critics? How are sales and bookings? You seem pretty busy....
*yeah we have been getting gradually busier and busier,the record has had great acceptance in the U.S. and the U.K. and we've gotten a lot of airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio "Hard Attack"(who voted us #13 on the top metal albums of 2006) and XM "Liquid Metal".In terms of record sales I'm not sure were we at right now but I have a feeling with Ozzfest coming up this party's just getting started.
5.Where did you all meet up? How did the actual formation of ANKLA take place?
*we all met up in Los Angeles,CA.Like I said I first found my vocalist Ikaro Santana who had just moved in from Brasil with his band back then.I was still doing the Puya thing at that point but I showed him some music that I had written that was way too heavy to be on the Puya album.He loved it so we started working on lyrics and so Ankla was born.My love for aggressive guitar driven metal combined with his hardcore vocal style and approach and a bit of latin flair gave birth to the Ankla sound.We did auditions to find the other members .We've had some lineup changes but the one we have now is by far the most solid:Jose Clarke on drums, Oscar Santiago on percussion and Tony Castaneda on bass.
6. Did you have any musical inflences on your foundation that you`d care to share with us?
*I have many diverse influences ,coming from an island in the Caribbean were so many different musical and cultural expressions coexist and fuse.From classical,to latin jazz,to folk "jibaro" music,rumba,bomba and plena,rock,flamenco and so forth.As a kid my father who was mainly a folk guitar player started showing me the basics of the guitar.When I was 13 a friend of my family brought me the first Van Halen album and that was it for me.I been in love with the art of playing the guitar ever since.Then I heard Ozzy with Randy Rhoads and after that I immersed myself completely into discovering the secrets of metal,became totally obsessed ,practicing and learning on the guitar as much as I could.I've been connected to the genre since the 80's.Some of the bands , guitar players and composers that have been heavy influences on me during the last 3 decades are Ozzy,Randy Rhoads,Van Halen,Slayer,Metallica,Accept,Sabbath,Pantera,Sepultura,Cardinal Sin,George Lynch,Warren DeMartini,Doug Aldrich,Steve Vai,Zakk Wylde,Machine Head,Paul Gilbert(Racer X),Nuno Bettencourt,Brad Gillis,Iron Maiden,Meshugah,Scott Ian,Testament,Yngwie Malmsteen,Stryper,Paco de Lucia,Irakere,Dimmu Borgir,Rush,Immortal,Lamb of God,Kansas,Slipknot,Basil Poledouris,Symphony X,Loudness ,Dio,Crowbar,Celtic Frost,Hatebreed,Krisiun,Kreator, Megadeth,ect
7.Now that you`ve been together for quite a few years,how have you grown and fused together as a team?
*we know each other better now and we have learned to work as a unit where everybody has a specific role based on their strenghts.
8.You are exploding on a major tour here,..I see you`re all over the place and now ozzfest (freefest) is on the horizon. How does it feel to be on the road getting seen and having all this exposure? Also how do you percieve the concept of the FREEFEST seeing as you played ozzfest before and have a reference point to go by? What are you thoughts on this unique concept?
*I think the whole idea of making this event free for the true fans of this music is phenomenal,it has been the fans who have made the great bands rise throughout history,they have turned these bands into legends so more power to them.We are really pumped up to be part of this,we are currently preparing physically and mentally to deliver the goods in true Ankla fashion.
9.You describe yourselves as latin metalcore. Did that seem a natural progression for you all as it pertained to your creative sides or did one member alone come up with the concept? How do your separate backgrounds work off each other?
Those who know my history as a musician know that I've been fusing the energy and power of rock and metal riffs with the rythmic swing of latin and caribbean music since the early nineties.When I started Ankla I wanted to make sure that it was gonna be way more brutal than Puya.I wrote all these songs with a very thrash metal feel to them but still with that latin groove sitting in the backseat.So I guess the term latin metalcore was a natural evolution of where I was going musically.I write all the music,Ikaro and me work the lyrics and the other guys bring their own individual feel to the arrangement.
10.What are your favorite tracks off the new album? There must be those tracks that are just a real thrill to play live,...which is that one you feel hits the fans so well you can see it and feel it?
*I have a blast playing all the songs.Flush and Deceit get really good crowd reactions
11. To each member,..describe your set-up and why you like it that way. Particular settings and equipment,..string tunings and such.
Jose Clarke-5 piece Ddrum kit(for a high impact sound)
Oscar Santiago-2 LP congas,1 surdo drum,1 timbale(for organic,tribal brutality)
Ikaro Santana-Guiro,Chekere(for atmosphere & pulse)
Tony Castaneda-Peavey 4 and 5 string basses,Peavey amplification (for rumbling low end) Ramon Ortiz-Ibanez 7 and 6 string guitars with EMG pickups and mahogany bodies for the heaviest tone(we tune to low A),Peavey amplication(xxl head with 6505 cabs)
12. Are you excited for this huge opportunity? (freefest)
YESSS!We have been waiting for this for a long time!
Members questions;
13. Mitchel Evans asks; have you ever played with ill Nino ?,Sepultura? Soulfly?
We have played with Ill Nino and Sepultura but we haven't played with Soulfly yet.We have a lot of respect for Max Cavalera ,his legacy will live on forever.It would be awesome if we could play with Soulfly someday.
14.Metalist asks;Who are you looking forward to playing with the most at this years freefest?
OZZY,Lamb of God and Hatebreed
15. PaulKishi asks; to each member...what motivated each of you to start playing and also the type of music you play today?
Ramon-the music I play is the sonic manifestation of my life.the fredoom involved in being able to express myself the way I want and touch people's spirits through a musical instrument is what motivates me.
Ikaro-Hey,I started listening to metal with the first Ozzy record "Blizzard of Ozz", but I decided to be a vocalist or play in a band when I listened to Slayer "reign in blood". The song criminally insane,.....that song blew my mind and right there I made my decision to start singing. Thanks Tom Araya! (from Slayer) Hahaha....
Oscar-I was inspired to play this kind of music by old Metallica ,Iron Maiden and the old school thrash movement.When I started mixing that with the Puerto Rican and afrocaribbean percussion rythyms I knew I had found my own musical path.
Pepe-I was motivated to play metal when I saw Metallica"Wherever I May Roam" and Megadeth "Symphony of Destruction"
Tony-I was motivated to play metal by Geezer Butler.
I would like to thank you all for your time and we look forward to seeing you kick ass at this years freefest.
*Thank you!SEE YA IN THE PIT!!!!
Wizard thanks ANKLA, especially Ramon Ortiz,(crush it brothers!!)

When you go to a site like Innova's or Discraft's you're presented with the discs they offer and a description about what they're best used for (I'd imagine that's up for debate, but that's neither here nor there).
For example: "Great turnover or roller disc," etc.
When they offer these descriptions, are they assuming you're throwing with a flat release, hyzer release, what? I realize it's a nit-picky question, but I've always wondered.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld all but one of the key provisions of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, more popularly known as Obamacare. Many elements of the new law are already in place, and by 2014, Americans with preexisting conditions can no longer be denied health insurance and will be able to compare and shop for affordable health insurance through state-based marketplaces.
The Lupus Foundation of Northern California, along with its partners in the Lupus Research Institute National Coalition, has, through the years, been pushing for 4 key principles that are critical to lupus patients and others with chronic diseases, all of which are addressed in the new law:
- Insurance coverage available for all Americans, regardless of preexisting conditions.
- Elimination of lifetime caps on health benefits.
- Provisions dedicated to prevention and wellness and educating those with and at risk for chronic disease on best ways to manage and prevent illness.
- Dedication to eliminating racial disparities in chronic diseases such as lupus, which disproportionately affects minorities.
For a complete list of benefits under the Affordable Care Act, click HERE.
The one key provision of the new law that was not upheld by the high court is the expansion of the Medicaid program. Health policy consultant IGNATIUS BAU, breaks it down in simple language. Click HERE.

Moscow insists Kiev pull back troops from the east
Russia insisted Wednesday that Kiev pull back its troops from eastern Ukraine and accused Washington of distorting an agreement to ease the most serious confrontation between Moscow and the West since the end of the Cold War.
"The Russian side once again insists on the immediate de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine's southeast, the pullback of units of the Ukrainian army and the start of a genuine internal Ukrainian dialogue involving all of the country's regions and political formations," the foreign ministry said.
"Moscow is extremely surprised by the distorted interpretations by Kiev authorities as well as by our US partners of the contents of a declaration adopted in Geneva on April 17 as a result of a four-way meeting between representatives of Russia, the United States, the European Union and Ukraine."
The Russian foreign ministry said that while the Geneva accord calls on all "illegal armed units" to lay down arms, Kiev and Washington are turning a blind eye to what Moscow calls continuing provocations by ultra-right militants in Ukraine.
"The Russian side continues to believe that our Western partners are serious when they declare their intention to facilitate a peaceful settlement of the political crisis in Ukraine," the foreign ministry said.
"Alas, the facts suggest the opposite however. We are still waiting for Kiev, which is responsible for establishing dialogue with Ukraine's regions, including in the southeast, to fulfil its promises."
Moscow said it had expected US Vice President Joe Biden, who visited Ukraine this week, to influence the Ukrainian authorities with an eye to ease the crisis.
"However, immediately after his departure from the Ukrainian capital it was announced there that an 'anti-terrorist operation' in Ukraine's eastern regions would resume," the foreign ministry said.
Earlier Wednesday Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov issued a blunt warning it would respond if its interests were attacked in Ukraine, in a sign Moscow was upping the ante in the crisis.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
One of the best MP3 digital recorders with onboard AM/FM radio just got better! The CC Witness Plus includes several new features like stereo microphones, CD quality (WAV) recording, and a Mini USB jack, making it a "Plus". You can listen to rich, full audio using earphones or the built-in stereo speakers.
Whether it's from a radio, computer or home stereo, the CC Witness Plus will record high-quality audio from your device. Just plug in the 1/8" input cable and press the record button. Recording your own music files is simple and saves money compared to buying individual songs. You can even detect song breaks and create individual recording tracks like a CD. You can then skip to the next song when you playback your music files.
The CC Witness Plus now has One-Touch Recording. Simply press and hold the record button to get 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours of instant recording. You can record using the built-in microphones or from the line-in using the included 1/8" stereo line-in cable.
If you are a talk radio fan, then you may love the 20 independent recording timers. Timers allow you to record all your favorite shows so you can listen at a more convenient time. You can also use the timers to eliminate the commercials normally found at the top and bottom of the hour.
With the built-in stereo microphones, you can record meetings, memos or even a live concert. The CC Witness Plus can accept an external mono or stereo microphone for even better voice recording quality.
For mobile use, most new cars have an 1/8" auxiliary MP3 jack or mini-USB jack. You can plug the patch cord directly from your MP3 jack or mini-USB into the Witness and then use the Witness to listen to an almost unlimited audio library you create.
The CC Witness Plus is an excellent portable travel companion because of its small size and capabilities. AM and FM radio reception is very good for a pocket radio and there are 10 easy presets per band to access your stations quickly. For better AM reception, there is an option for disabling the display screen reducing any possible interference. For best FM reception, the CC Witness Plus uses your headphones or an included wire as an external antenna. FM mono can also be enabled to improve weak FM stations and reduce automatic stereo switching sound.
You can maximize your recording time for voice by adjusting the audio quality to a lower speed of 32 kbps (kilobits per second). When great audio quality is necessary, you can set it to record at up to CD Quality at 1411 kbps. There are six selectable levels of audio quality. The CC Witness Plus comes with 2GB of onboard memory which stores up to 2000 audio files or up to 140 hours of recordings at 32 kbps.
Using an optional SD memory card will give you more recording time and is a great way to collect hard copies of your favorite programs. An SD card can store more content than a CD or cassette tape.

Recording time on 2GB:
32kbps ~ 140 hours
64kbps ~ 70 hours
128kbps ~ 35 hours
256kbps ~ 17.5 hours
An average song length of 4 minutes recorded at 128kbps takes up about 3.75MB of memory. So, a CC Witness Plus with 2GB of memory can store 500+ songs recorded at 128kbps.
The CC Witness Plus can record in stereo when recording from the FM band, Mic/Line Input or the Stereo Microphones.
The CC Witness Plus will playback MP3, WMA and WAV formats. However, the CC Witness Plus will only record in MP3 or WAV formats.
Yes, the ID3 Tag Support function must be enabled.
Yes. First set the volume of the radio to a normal listening level. Next, connect the included recording patch cable between the earphone jack of the radio and the MIC/LINE IN of the CC Witness Plus. Navigate to the main MENU screen on the CC Witness, then press record. You can monitor your recording by using the built-in speakers or headphone jack of the CC Witness Plus.
For higher quality recording, use a radios line-output jack instead of the headphone jack and connect to the MIC/LINE IN of the CC WitnessPlus. When using a radios line-output, the recording level is fixed and cannot be changed.
Yes and no. The iTunes program itself will not sync with the CC Witness Plus, but it is still possible to copy iTunes audio files to the CC Witness Plus. The iTunes audio must first be downloaded or converted to MP3 format using iTunes before the CC Witness Plus will accept it. To convert audio to MP3 format in iTunes follow these instructions:
All future downloads will be imported in MP3 format. To convert an existing file to mp3 format simply select the audio file, then select Convert Selection to MP3 from the advanced menu.
After the iTunes audio is in MP3 format you can drag and drop or copy and paste it from the iTunes Music folder to the CC Witness Plus. The iTunes Music folder is found in My Music on a PC and Music on a MAC.
The CC Witness Plus does a great job of recording music from the popular websites like Pandora, Slacker or Rhapsody. If the time interval between songs is similar then the CC Witness can be set up to create music tracks automatically.
C. Crane encourages you to purchase the music when you like a song. Here are three places to purchase royalty free MP3 music. It is easy to do. The quality is very high at 256KBS or higher. The songs cost about $1.00 each at all three places.
Mp3 recordings (not CD quality .wav files), will sound great on the Senta Ally. The Sent Ally does not have the ability to play .wav files.
Each radio band has 10 presets (20 total).
No. The CC Witness Plus ships with 2 GB of internal memory.
You can set the sleep timer for 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 or 300 minutes.
You can set the back light to be illuminated for 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds.
Yes. When using a new memory card, format the card inside the unit BEFORE trying to record on the card.
If the memory card has been used in any other device (Digital Camera, MP3 Player, etc) you must first format the card using a computer and then again in the CC Witness Plus BEFORE using the card.
USB 2.0; the cord used is a Mini USB male to USB type A male. The type A male USB is what the average USB connector looks like.
The CC Witness Plus shuts off automatically if it remains idle for 3 minutes (by default). You can adjust the amount of time that passes before auto shut-off occurs by configuring the "Auto Off Time" function in the "System Settings" menu options.
With the Lock Switch 'on' (in the UP position) the CC Witness Plus is locked. No settings can be changed while the Lock Switch is on.
VBR is an abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. When a file is recorded in VBR the bitrate dynamically changes depending on the complexity and loudness of the music. A simple quiet passage may record at 32 Kbps. A loud complex song will record at 320 Kbps. High quality recordings can be made this way without making an unnecessarily large file.
Click on the 'My Computer' icon. Look for a removable disk icon, usually displayed as Drive E or F. Double click on the disk icon belonging to the CC Witness Plus. Files from the PC can now be downloaded onto the CC Witness Plus via dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, etc. Likewise, files can be uploaded to the PC from the CC Witness Plus using these same methods.
Note: 2 GB SD Cards can only hold 420 MB on the root directory. To place more than 420 MB on the SD card, simply create a folder on the root directory and place the files inside of that folder.
The display measures 1.85" diagonally.
We recommend using a laptop with a cellular PC card or WiFi antenna for mobile internet service. Once connected to the internet, simply transfer your recording to the laptop and email it to the desired location.
Yes, it has the necessary firmware to do so.
They are made this way so that the CC Witness Plus can be placed on your left or right side without the cords getting in the way. The longer cord goes around the back side of your neck to the opposite ear and the shorter cord goes to the ear on the side the Witness is on.
Not all SD Cards are compatible with the CC Witness Plus. The 16GB SD CARDS WE TESTED WILL NOT WORK on the CC Witness Plus at this time.
The safe operating temperature does not refer to the CC Witness Plus so much itself as the lithium rechargeable battery inside. Battery industry professionals state that Lithium rechargeable batteries should not be used or stored in environments that exceed 60° C (140° F). For these reasons the CC Witness Plus should not be stored in a location that can reach high temperatures such as a closed automobile or sunny window ledge. High temperatures can cause the battery to fail.
Yes, you will want to use a small thin blunt-tipped object such as a paperclip. The reason for this is twofold: First, to make sure that a sharp object is not imbedded into the recessed button. Second, to make sure the battery pack (which is located inside the unit next to the reset button) is not punctured which can cause severe damage to the unit.
Yes, the Play speed and Equalizer settings only work with mp3 recordings.
Yes, you can store any type of file in the memory of the CC Witness Plus using a computer. Only MP3, WMA and WAV files will be visible when viewing the CC Witness Plus display. Non-audio and other types of files will only be visible when browsing the CC Witness Plus memory files with a computer.
The CC Witness Plus has a limitation of 2000 files.
This depends on the naming format chosen by the user (SettingsSystem SettingsFile Name Format). You can choose Simple Track # or Date_Time_#_Freq.
If you choose Simple Track # the recording files are displayed as the month, day, track, and source. For example, depending on which method you used to record, the files would look like:
Built-in Mic
If you choose Date_Time_#_Freq the recording files are displayed as the month, day, year, time, track, source/frequency, and file format. For example, depending on which method you used to record, the files would look like:
Built-in Mic
A wireless mouse can cause this. Try unplugging the wireless mouse and then plug the CC Witness (Plus) into the USB port.
There may be some users that are experiencing difficulties transferring large files from or to the CC Witness or CC Witness Plus using some Mac or Windows computers/laptops. Due to the limitations of the processor (CPU) in the CC Witness or the CC Witness Plus, large files may time-out before they are completely transferred. For transferring large files, we recommend recording to an SD card and using a computer card reader for best transfer speed. Normally MP3 files have no issue since they are smaller file sizes. CD quality files are many times larger because of their extreme high quality. Another option would be to use a USB powered hub which can be purchased from Amazon for a very reasonable cost.
The CC Witness Plus uses a rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery pack.
It takes roughly 4 hours to completely charge the internal battery.
A fully charged battery will give you about 15-16 hours of playtime or 8 hours of record time before you need to recharge it again.
The BoxWave VersaCharger Pro is a great power source for home, on the road and in a car. The Box Wave does produce a buzzing when listening to live AM radio so if this is your forte' then stick with the AC adapter (included in the CC Witness Plus Accessory Kit). This oversized AC adapter is designed for low noise and good AM listening.
Yes, if you charge the CC Witness Plus with the AC adapter that comes in the optional accessory kit. Once the CC Witness Plus is connected you will see "Charging" on the display. At this point, press the center button on the Witness to turn it on and you will then be able to use all functions as normal including timers.
If you want to use the CC Witness Plus while charging with a computer, it is only possible if you are running Windows XP. When running Windows XP, connect the CC Witness to the USB port on your computer. A small green icon will show up in the system tray of Windows XP. Right click on the green icon and choose "Safely Remove Hardware". Once you complete this step, the display on the CC Witness Plus will change from "USB Connected" to "Charging".
At this point, you can press the center button on the Witness to turn it on and select from any options on the display. If any timers are set during this time they will also activate for recordings, though you may notice a bit more static on AM while connected to and located near your computer. Please keep in mind the above only works with Windows XP; with any other operating system (that we have tested) it will not work.
Typically, any device with rechargeable lithium batteries should have the battery replaced after approximately 300-500 charge cycles (or two to three years). If you notice playback on a fully charged battery is significantly less than it used to be (80% of original run time) or the unit becomes excessively hot during a charge cycle, these are good indicators that it is time to replace the battery.
The AM reception is good when tuned to a strong signal. The AM tuner in the CC Witness Plus will not receive distant AM stations like the CCRadio-2E. With the display screen off reception is better. It is also possible to record from a more powerful AM radio using the CC Witness Plus input jack. Another option to improve AM reception is with the addition of the Twin Coil AM Antenna or Terk AM Advantage.
Yes, the CC Witness Plus receives FM Stereo. There is an option in the Sound Settings menu to change to FM Mono.
The earphones also act as an FM antenna when in use. When listening to the CC Witness Plus via the internal speakers, you can plug the FM antenna wire into the earphone jack. The FM antenna and earphones cannot both be used at the same time.
The CC Witness Plus is the exclusive of C. Crane for several countries. It is manufactured in South Korea.
The speakers are not capable of producing the same kind of audio that you would hear with a qood quality set of headphones or earbuds.

High school outside the box
Updated 8:06 pm, Thursday, March 28, 2013
From inside the lines to out, Express-News staff writers Lorne Chan, Terrence Thomas and Blake Hurtik take a look back and a look ahead at the high school sports landscape.
0 - Goals allowed by the Reagan boys soccer team during District 26-5A play. The Rattlers, unbeaten in their past 49 league games (39-0-10) since losing to Lee 2-1 on Jan. 22, 2010, are believed to be the first 26-5A team to accomplish the feat.
10.20 - Seconds it took for Medina Valley sprinter Steven Champlin to win the 100-meter dash at last week's Alamo Heights relays. The hand-held time is the fastest in the area this season. Highlands' Vernon Lott, the second-place finisher, ran a 10.46, the area's second-fastest time of the season.
21 - Strikeouts thrown by Harlandale pitcher Michael Agis in a 3-2, eight-inning victory over Southside on Tuesday. Agis leads the area with 85 strikeouts this season.
33-0 - Final score in Uvalde softball's three-inning, run-rule win over Memorial on Friday. Haley Dalrymple and Megan Mattie each had seven RBIs. Pitcher Wicky Estrada didn't allow a hit.
Sports Channel
Odds and ends
Football coaching changes: McCollum hired Juan Hinojosa as its next coach, replacing Carl Klann, who resigned after 10 seasons at the school. Hinojosa most recently coached at Pearsall, going 3-17 in two seasons. He is 52-107-1 in 16 seasons for his career with stops at Highlands and Uvalde.
Bandera hired David Sine to replace Larry Prince, who leaves after going 24-40 in six seasons. Sine spent last season at Columbus, going 3-7, and has a career record of 88-53.
All-Stars selected: Four area girls basketball seniors were selected to play in the Texas Girls Coaches Association All-Star Game: Reagan guard Moriah Mack and Wagner post Tesha Smith in Class 5A, and Poth guards Ashley Fuller and Micah Weaver in 2A. Retiring Poth coach Peggy Hosek will coach one of the 3A-2A-A squads at the games to be played in July in Austin.

MORGANTOWN — As it turns out, Dana Holgorsen's job didn't become that difficult Sunday after all.
That was the day the West Virginia coach had pointed to more than once during the preseason. It was the day after the Mountaineers were to play Alabama and the fear was that regardless of the outcome, after pointing to one of the best teams in the country all through the preseason, WVU would then have to forget it and move on.
"I was happy with Sunday. I thought the attitude and the energy was good on Sunday,'' Holgorsen said. "I would anticipate that [today, when practice resumes] will be the same way.''
West Virginia put up a solid showing against No. 2 Alabama before losing 33-23. Now the attention turns to a Saturday night game against Towson. The two couldn't be much different — Alabama a national championship contender on the FBS level and Towson rebuilding after a rather surprising run to the FCS title game in 2013.
Saturday's home opener at Mountaineer Field is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by Root Sports.
"We didn't have a bunch of guys that were hanging their heads,'' Holgorsen said of Sunday's meetings and light practice. "We didn't have a bunch of guys that were looking to be patted on the back just because we kept it close against a good team.''
Towson, meanwhile, lost its opener at home to a middling Central Connecticut State team Saturday when it couldn't get out of its own way.
The Tigers led 27-24 and had forced a punt with just under three minutes to play. But after inexplicably rushing the punter and drawing a roughing call to give CCSU another chance, the Towson defense then gave up a 34-yard pass on a fourth-and-13 play to lead to the winning touchdown.
Central Connecticut was 4-8 last season and picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Northeast Conference.
"We played hard,'' said coach sixth-year coach Rob Ambrose. "We didn't play smart.''
Towson has been very good of late, going 9-3, 7-4 and 13-3 the past three years. The Tigers went to Hartford and beat down Connecticut 33-18 to start last season, stayed in the FCS Top 10 all year and beat the Nos. 2 and 3 teams on the road in the playoffs before losing to No. 1 North Dakota State in the FCS finals.
But the Tigers also lost 17 seniors from that team, including quarterback Peter Athens and wide receiver Leon Kinnard, both stars. All-American Erik Pike is also gone, along with every other full-time starter on the offensive line. But the biggest blow came when junior running back Terrance West elected to enter the NFL draft. All he'd done before being picked in the third round by the Browns was rush for 2,509 yards and 42 touchdowns last season, almost 5,000 yards and 86 touchdowns in his three years.
Towson does have some returning talent, but its spot in most of the preseason FCS Top 25 rankings was more a product of past than present.
"What we were last year is not what we are this year,'' Ambrose said Monday.
Towson has played an FBS team every year since 2008 and last year's win at UConn was its first in that stretch. The Tigers had previously lost to Navy, Northwestern, Indiana, Maryland and Kent State.

TPWD Gets $1 Million To Protect Coastal Habitat
AUSTIN, Texas — U.S. Department of Interior officials announced Oct. 28 that Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and its partners will receive a $1 million grant towards a $1,508,000 project that will acquire 1,500 acres in the West Bay Conservation Corridor, which is adjacent to West Bay in Galveston County.
The land includes marsh and coastal prairie that provide habitat for many migratory birds, finfish and shellfish. In addition, another 42 acres of shallow open water will be restored to an estuarine marsh. Partners in the project include Harborwalk-Watkins Properties, Trust for Public Lands, Scenic Galveston, Inc., Galveston Bay Estuary Program, the Galveston Bay Foundation, the Texas Nature Conservancy and the landowner. Partners will provide matching funds of $508,000, as well as inkind services.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is awarding more than $13 million to 10 states for fiscal year 2005 under the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program. The grants provide funding for 16 projects.
Coastal wetland loss in the Galveston Bay system is a continuing concern because of the essential roles that wetlands perform for water quality as well as for fish and wildlife species. "Galveston Bay has one of the highest rates of wetlands loss compared with other coastal estuary systems. The funds will help us and our partners recover from that loss. It's a welcome addition to a whole range of efforts we're working on," said Larry McKinney, Ph.D. and director of TPWD's coastal fisheries division.
National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grants are awarded to states through a competitive process. The program is funded by the 1990 Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act. Funding for the program is generated from excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat and small engine fuels. These taxes are deposited into the Sport Fish Restoration Account of the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund.
To date, the Service has awarded almost $152 million in grants to states and a U.S. territory under the program. Almost 189,000 acres will have been protected or restored since the wetlands grant program began in 1990.

Marchesa Co-Founder Georgina Chapman's Beauty Picks, Plus a Look at Her Vanity
In a young family's house in Lake Forest, Illinois, decorator Ruthie Sommers cozied up the living room with classic furnishings in a preppy palette of pink, green, and chocolate brown. For a contrast with the original white brick walls, a custom sofa was covered in a mocha cotton velvet. The menagerie of pillows was made mostly from leftover fabrics. "Maybe I overdid it on pillows, but it was all in the same zealous spirit of the house," Sommers says. "I wanted to create that squishy, everyone-squeezing- onto-the-sofa feeling." A lover of traditional hand-blocked floral prints, she re-covered the homeowners' slipper chair in Lee Jofa's Eldon. The plaster sconces, once part of a Dorothy Draper interior, are from David Bell Antiques, with pink pleated shades by Munder & Sons.
Contemporary photography, including this huge print by Reinhard Görner, adds a refreshing touch of modernity to the living room. The love seat is covered in Pindler & Pindler's Ghent.

Topic: My mum just died from Cholangiocarcinoma.
It has been two weeks since she died. I don't want to write up a big essay about it I just want to hear some comfort and talk to people about this cancer, since you guys have probably been through the same thing.
I'm an 18 year old boy that needs his mum. She was with me a month ago. I loved her so much, we were best friends, and she was helping me through all of my social and emotional problems. My only refuge that I held dear to me.
Two weeks later, she's dead. I've gone two weeks without her.
She just gets diagnosed and then within a couple weeks she's gone.
I miss her so much, what do I do.
Also, Christian talk here is welcome. I believe in Jesus.

Porter is well supported in managerial debut
HOUSTON -- Astros manager Bo Porter couldn't even begin to count the number of friends and family members he had at Minute Maid Park on Sunday night for his first game as a manager. The list did include his wife and son, mother and father, grandmother and some aunts and uncles from different parts of the country.
"No one can come to my house because it's full," he joked. "You'd have to find a nearby hotel."
Several of Porter's former football and baseball teammates at the University of Iowa were also in attendance, which came as a surprise to Porter.
"Some of them came in yesterday," he said. "You always feel honored when you have special people that are part of your life and have been part of your life for a long time, and to have them come out and support you, it makes you feel good."
Porter said he put his wife, Stacey, in charge of making sure everyone had tickets and was where they needed to be, but not before throwing her a surprise birthday party Saturday night. Her birthday is next Friday.
"The number of people we have here, I pretty much could not even tell you because I let my wife handle it," Porter said. "I just put it on her and said, 'I don't want to deal with it.' She'll make sure everyone comes to the game and has a good time."
One person close to Porter who couldn't make it was his former football coach at Iowa, Hayden Fry. Porter had hoped to have him at Minute Maid Park.
"He's still dealing with some health issues and the travel would have been a bit much for him," Porter said. "I talked to him this morning and he sends his well-wishes, and he's here in spirit."

Around 11:40 a.m. Thursday, a Eureka woman returned to her home on the 2600 block of Sixth Street and found a man hiding in her bed.
Eureka Police officers responded and learned from the victim that the man fled out the door, got on a bicycle and rode toward West Avenue, according to a press release. The victim followed the suspect and advised police of his location.
Officers located the suspect running southbound on County Lane after he dropped his bicycle near 17th Street. Officers cornered the suspect in a nearby backyard after a short foot pursuit.
The suspect was given multiple orders at gunpoint but was slow to comply, according to a press release. Officers tackled the suspect and he was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect, identified as Curtis Charles Combrink, 45, of Eureka, was wearing clothing belonging to the victim, according to a press release.
Combrink was arrested on suspicion of burglary and resisting arrest and transported to the Humboldt County jail where he was held without bail due to his active parole status for burglary.

Designers, planners to tackle building health, efficiency
The Building Conference is a simply named yet broadly targeted event coming to Morgantown. It will speak to anyone who works or lives in, designs or redesigns, or fixes or owns buildings that are old, new or yet to be built in West Virginia.In short, just about everybody who has a stake in the quality of the places where we spend so much time, says Sarah Halstead of the nonprofit group WV GreenWorks, one of the sponsors of the Jan. 31-Feb. 2 event at the Waterfront Place Hotel.After all, the state's "built environment," as she sums it up, is shorthand for the homes, buildings, offices and spaces where people live, work and spend most of their daily existence."It's our big chance to really accelerate the general public's understanding of energy efficiency and healthy building concepts. And it's certainly a chance for all the players in the state to get on the same page so we can work better together for better results," she said.WV GreenWorks brought together West Virginia University, West Virginia State University and the state chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council to advance the cause of what she calls "sustainable building."The conference (more details and online registration at thebuildingconference.com) has attracted a mix of heavy hitters. These include both international design and housing figures, policy-makers and people working across the state on affordable housing, downtown revival and healthier, more efficient buildings.One keynote speaker is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Sinclair/" target="_blank">Cameron Sinclair, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity and author of the book "Design Like You Give a Damn," who emphasizes the significance of neighborhood and community in design decisions.Another speaker, Scott Horst, is a senior vice president of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program, an influential and ever-evolving voluntary green and sustainable building standard."LEED, version 4, is his baby," Halstead noted.The conference's four concurrent tracks -- Residential Performance, Commercial Innovation, Education and Facilities and Sustainable Communities -- illustrate that no building or community structure really falls outside the event's scope, Halstead said."A concentration on fixing what we've got is a serious theme in this conference," she said. "A lot of time people will ask contractors: 'What can I do with this building?' The contractor will often say 'you can't do much with these old buildings, they weren't built to be energy efficient.' That's not always true." If a building can't be retrofitted to healthier, more sustainable standards, it can be responsibly 'deconstructed', recycling valuable materials, dumping less waste into landfills and offering owners tax write-offs.WV GreenWorks has partnered with the national nonprofit group ReUse People of America, whose founder, Ted Reiff, is another keynote speaker. His group has pioneered an approach for deconstructing old buildings, work they showcased a couple years ago with a Putnam County building."We've talked for about a year about how to help all these communities that have dilapidated buildings," Halstead said. "What's the business model for helping these people out? There's never a budget; property values are driven down. Think about a model at this conference that will work for everyone all over West Virginia."A sampling of conference topics (see sidebar at end) also reveals how some topics specifically address building owners, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) workers, the building supply industry and anyone involved in retrofitting or building healthier, more contemporary structures.Or, for that matter, teachers and others looking ahead to West Virginia's future, said Halstead. "We'd love to get teachers and HVAC people -- they've got special love at this conference." Appalachian Power, another event sponsor, is offering 10 scholarships to building industry workers to cover conference registration, available to general contractors and HVAC and insulation pros.In line with this hands-on approach, WV GreenWorks, partnering with Think Green Midwest and Advanced Energy's Quality-Assured Professional for HVAC program, offers a Jan. 30 pre-conference training to certify more HVAC contractors to assist with the latest Energy Star V3 qualification for single and multi-family homes.Such certification is a practical consideration in West Virginia, since Habitat for Humanity and affordable housing folks who handle federal funds require HVAC professionals with this certification.And an Energy Star-certified home will hold appeal to anyone wary of rising utility costs, Halstead said."Everybody thinks of the Energy Star logo on an appliance. You know there's some kind of energy efficiency standard it has passed. It's the same for a house. An Energy Star home is pretty much certified to save between 15 and 30 percent ... on utilities."There are also DIY (do it yourself) Genius Sessions, featuring people who've built modern, yet low-cost or no-cost energy efficient, off-the-grid homes, said Halstead."They're coming out to tell how they've done it. You're going to get the most honest scoop about straw bale, geo-thermal, solar, wind. These are people who have been there and done that."Halstead acknowledges the conference has taken on a lot. But that's because the places where people live and work are essential to productivity, happiness and the overall health and attractiveness of a community."It looks like we're covering so much. That's because everything is connected. It's time that we looked holistically at how our environment performs and how we are interacting with our environment.She acknowledges that some in the building trades "do not want to be associated with talking about green standards."But the health, comfort and productivity of your occupant is of primary importance. I would not like to find out they've lowered the bill using materials that off-gas and made my work force sick."We think this is an unprecedented time to move past the rhetoric, past all the kind of talk that keeps people from coming together. We think this conference offers a chance for real, civil dialogue."Reach Douglas Imbrogno at email@example.com or 304-348-3017.***Here's a sampling of some sessions pulled from the schedule of The Building Conference, set for Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at The Waterfront Hotel in Morgantown. The conference is $199 for general registration, $99 for AmeriCorps and VISTA volunteers.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
The sys.dm_db_log_space_usage DMV is a new DMV for SQL Server 2012. It returns Total Size, Used Size, and Used Percent size for a transaction log file of a given database. To illustrate this DMV, I will query the DMV against my AdventureWorks2012 database.
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_db_log_space_usage
As mentioned above, the result set gives us the total size of the transaction log in bytes, the used size of the log in bytes, and the percent of the log that has been used.
This is a very simplistic DMV but returns valuable information. Being able to detect when a transaction log is close to being full is always a valuable thing to alert on, and this DMV just provided an additional method for acquiring the necessary information.
Follow me on Twitter @PrimeTimeDBA
Yeah it seems like they're heading backwards sometimes on the admin side. with sqlperf we could see all the logs on the server to see which one may have grown too much, but with this we have to actually write a cursor or cycle through them by hand. No thanks.

ROWING: Lawton leads the charge
2:37pm Wednesday 5th March 2014
By Andrew Simpson
2:37pm Wednesday 5th March 2014
By Andrew Simpson
ROWERS from clubs in Northwich are in line to represent the region after setting the fastest times during a trial.
Northwich Rowing Club crews were in fine form, recording four victories on a stretch of the River Weaver in Runcorn.
They hope to be rewarded with a place in the North West team for next month's Junior Inter-Regional Regatta at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham.
George Lawton, among the quickest in class during a GB Rowing assessment for juniors last week, celebrated victory in an MJ16 single scull.
He then joined forces with Harry Taylor, from Trentham Rowing Club, to win in an MJ16 double after completing the course in 5:35.46 – 10 seconds ahead of their closest rivals.
Lawrence Williams stroked a Northwich MJ15 coxed four to first place in 5:37.48 with Greg Murphy, Rhys Coffey, Matthew Radford and cox Tom Swithenbank in the boat along with him.
A fourth category success for Northwich followed when Hannah Cooney and Amelia Berry, in a WJ15 double, saw off the challenge of a crew from Trentham to top the timesheet.
Grange School Rowing Club were victors in an MJ16 quad, consisting of stroke James Darbyshire, Callum Begg, Matt Strickland-Baker and Ben Holt, that timed 5:22.32.
A Northwich boat was runner-up, less than a second adrift of the eventual winners.
Selectors will shortly name the North West squad for an annual event that includes entries from British Rowing's 10 regions.

HESPERIA – A Rancho Cucamonga man is behind bars Friday after he allegedly stabbed a Hesperia man in a High Desert home, sheriff's officials said.
David Richard Porter, 31, who knew the victim, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder this morning after San Bernardino County Sheriff's Hesperia investigators identified him as the person allegedly responsible for stabbing a man multiple times including on the head, face, chest and back.
Porter was visiting someone in the 18000 block of Lindsay Street in Hesperia when around 12:45 a.m., Porter and the homeowner began to argue, officials said.
"According to the deputy, Porter was very intoxicated and became disrespectful to the homeowner," said Sue Rose, spokeswoman for the Hesperia station.
The victim, who was also visiting the Lindsay Street home, and others tried to calm Porter down and get him to leave when Porter became angry, reportedly went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and proceeded to stab the unarmed victim, officials said. Porter then ran from the home.
Deputy Jeremy Vasquez apprehended Porter near the area without incident, Rose said.
The victim was taken Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton. His condition was not immediately known.
Porter, who was on probation for a drug offense, was booked into Victor Valley jail for the attempted murder offense as well as violating the terms of his parole.
The case is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hesperia station at 760-947-1500.

Help Nicki Pick Charities!
Nicki Minaj wants to make some charitable donations and help raise money for worthy causes, but she's looking for your input!
What charity means a lot to you? What organization should she and the Barbz help raise money and awareness for? Tell us the name of the organization and why. Post your response in the form of a comment here. We'll take the top charities posted and make an exclusive user
poll with that data for everyone to vote.
Please keep your suggestion to 100 words or less and and only make one charity suggestion per person.
Thank you!
Hey Nicki,
My best friend started an organization called Uniquely Beautiful. We just completed a fashion show on Friday. The show was to start awareness for the organization, so it was a world premiere. Also the money we raised is going to girls in Zambia, to help complete the home that they started creating. This home is to better help the girls, even though this is a small step in our journey, the more awareness, the more people can help to make dreams come true. Our goal is to also not only inspire girls in Africa but the girls here in the United States. So many girls have low self esteem and problems at home and school. We suffer so much with the world around us that it is all happening too fast. I just want you to bring awareness to Uniquely Beautiful in any way, shape, or form. It would mean the world to not only me, but to my best friend too. Thank You So Much and You Know I Love Youu With My Heart. You are my Queen.
My son Paul is a very big fan of yours and he is high functioning autistic, namely in the Asperger's spectrum of autism. I think it would be awesome if you would support Autism Speaks as a charity. They are any incredible organization that needs support to develop and support parents and children of autism. Very often the high functioning autistic children are severely misunderstood and misclassified in the school system and misdiagnosed by the professionals. Any support they would receive will greatly help in helping all these children receive the help and care they need. Not to mention that the Autism ribbon is a collection of colorful puzzle pieces that would certainly match your colorful personality. I sincerely hope you give Autism Speaks your consideration. Thank you for your time.
I would love if Nicki would help the Breast Cancer foundation or any type of cancer I say breast cancer because she is a goddess of pink and u already inspire us girls everyday with being independent and so on I as a barbie I would buy things that are pink to raise money for a good cause I already do but nicki would come up with these super dope ideas to sale and I'm pretty sure all the other barbs would support for a good cause and nicki come on ur all about boobs signing boobs it would b a blessing if u could help girls with issues that it's not there fault that they have breast cancer but that's my idea I totally respect what u decide I'm pretty sure u will come up with an idea. :) think pink love Jasmine Autry YMCMB let's donate for a good cause <3
Yo! I really really think it would be fantastic if we helped a non-profit organisation called No One Is Illegal and their campaign "Ain't I a Woman" cuz they are doing a fantastic, brave, hard and very important work.
They fight for female undocumented migrants and this campaign focus on women (and Barbz of course), cuz they suffers from a two types of oppressions, sexism and racism. (And often also classicism!)
This gets even more fucked-up cuz it fuels their exposure to violence also fuels the lack of support when violence occurs I'm from Sweden so sorry for bad spelling, but wtf.
Nicki, you are my queen, love your "work". And you make us dyke's go crazy! Love, diamonds and riot!
arts and crafts for the psych units in hospitals they sit in their rooms and get more depressed help them with instruments for musical therapy anything to help keep their minds off the bullying and the suicidal thoughts that have put them there thanks and all hospitals are in need my daughter is in U of M right now in Ann Arbor Michigan
My suggestion is Girl Talk! It's a peer mentoring program where high school girls mentor and serve as role models for middle schoolers and I've been involved with it for 5 years. There are a LOT of service opportunities and they provide a scholarship for one leader a year. It's growing very quickly and even has a chapter or two in Africa. They also have a National Teen Advisory Board, which I serve on, which connects us with many influential women in the workforce and we meet in corporate board rooms around Atlanta. It's an AMAZING non-profit and they send a message really similar to yours, Nic! Confidence, education, kindness, hard work, and inspiration

I thbink probably a good would be the breast cancer would be good because their are a lot of her fans and family are able to relate to what the organization does .Because I can say from a personal experience I am able to relate to the situation alot of family are going through. My school would have trips to go to central park and walk the breast cancer walk I would just go to see my friends on the weekend and find something to get out the house right their at that moment they were talking about how one in every family is affected by it and it was not until I week later that my mom broke the news that my grandmother had been diagnosis with breast cancer I just felt that god was getting back at me for not taking something that was ruing people lives and family situation so seriously until it happen to me and that I suggest she should go with the Brest Cancer Organization

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Texas and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.
