Mavs fall without Duncan, Selsor
With only a shootaround earlier in the day to adjust to a new lineup, the Colorado Mesa University women's basketball team did everything coach Roger Walters asked Saturday.
The Mavericks, playing without two of their top six players, fell 79-76 at Colorado Christian, but Walters was happy with the effort on the floor.
"It was pretty fun to be a part of it," he said. "I'm pretty proud of them."
Walters told the Mavericks before the game not to feel sorry for themselves, and they took that to heart.
"Nobody's gonna feel sorry for us and I don't expect us to feel sorry for us," he said. "They came out and played as hard as they possibly can."
With Katrina Selsor out with a knee injury sustained in the opening minutes Friday and Hillary Duncan out for the season with torn knee ligaments, Walters decided to go big.
He moved 6-foot forward Kelsey Sigl to Selsor's spot on the perimeter and put 6-1 sophomore Hanna Bowden in the starting lineup inside with Amy Weitzeil.
"We'll probably do that the rest of the year," he said of a three-post lineup. "We haven't outrebounded anybody since Adams State.
"We were bigger and we dominated the boards; there were so many one-and-dones on their end, the kids played unbelievably well. We just didn't get a break or a call when we needed one down the stretch."
With 1:32 to play, the Mavericks (8-9, 6-7 RMAC) led 74-73 after Tara Gehring hit her third 3-pointer of the night. Mesa got a stop on the other end, with Gehring grabbing the rebound, but the Mavs turned it over trying to get the ball inside and Christina Whitelaw scored on the other end.
With 30 seconds left, Bowden went inside but was called for an offensive foul. Seven seconds later, though, Sigl stole the ball and scored for a 76-75 lead.
As the teams were heading down the floor, Amy Weitzeil was called for a foul. BJ Moyes hit two free throws and with 15 seconds left, Gehring's shot rimmed out.
Mesa had one more chance, but Alaina Brennan was called for an offensive foul and the Mavs had to foul to stop the clock. Jessica Murdoch hit two free throws with four seconds left.
Sigl scored 30 points, one off her career high, with five rebounds and three steals, playing 33 minutes. Gehring had 13 points and seven rebounds and freshman point guard Dallas Rohrbaugh played one of her best games of the season, with nine points, three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes.
Bowden added seven points and seven boards and Weitzeil had six points and eight rebounds. Mesa had 39 rebounds to Colorado Christian's 24, shot 50.9 percent from the field and hit 8 of 10 from the 3-point line.
Walters said Selsor's knee was still too sore and swollen to examine Saturday.
Swimming & Diving
The Colorado Mesa men's swim team lead the Colorado College Classic with 513 points, and the Maverick women are in second behind Colorado College.
Alejandro Hernandez won the men's 400-yard individual medley in 4 minutes, 14.34 seconds, the 200 butterfly in 1:57.87 and swam on the Mavs' winning 400 medley relay and 200 medley relay teams.
Kirk O'Donnell won the 100 breaststroke in 1:01.56, with Brian Lee second (1:02.26), Ryan Dake won the 200 backstroke (2:02.33) and Brock Martin was second in the 3-meter diving (477.40 points).
In the women's meet, Maddi Wigg won the 400 IM (5:07.83), Katherine Finley the 200 back (2:19.79) and Amanda Jennings was second in 3-meter diving (395.50 points). Mesa was second in the 400 medley relay and won the 200 medley relay.

It'd be impossible to top that bridal shop scene, anyway.
After months of hopeful speculation, Kristen Wiig officially shot down talk of any sequel to Bridesmaids -- or one starring her, in any case.
Wiig, 38, both starred in and co-wrote the screenplay for the blockbuster comedy (which still stands a chance of scoring Oscar nominations when the Academy unveils its picks next week) and, according to her, once was enough.
"We're not planning on doing one," Wiig told E! News at Sunday's Golden Globes. "We had a special time making the first one, but we're really excited to try something else."
Instead, Wiig and Bridesmaids cowriter Annie Mumolo are writing a new script, she told E! "It's going to be a little bit of a different tone," she teased. "But it's going to be a comedy, for sure."

Raw, Organic Walnuts
There are a lot of nuts out there these days, but none as enjoyably edible as walnuts. They're used in more cooked foods than perhaps any other nut in the world, making an excellent addition to salads, casseroles, desserts, breakfast foods, and more, and are just as good eaten raw, roasted, or toasted.
Aside from their culinary popularity, walnuts are an excellent source of nutrition, providing healthy fatty acids. Just like their nutty cousins, they're also a good source of protein. Adding NOW Real Food Walnuts to your diet is a tasty and nutritious way to improve your health and well-being without going nuts.
Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces per day of walnuts, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet and not resulting in increased caloric intake, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. See nutrition information for fat and calorie content.
Because you are what you eat, NOW Real Food has been committed to providing delicious, healthy, natural and organic foods since 1968. We're independent, family owned, and proud of it. Keep it natural. Keep it real.

Great FRESH organic walnuts at an excellent price. We find these to be much fresher than the bulk bin organic walnuts at our local store. These bags have enough internal air that it pads the nuts from too much damage meaning more whole pieces rather than the broken pieces in the bins. Bag after bag (we eat a lot of these), these NOW packaged walnuts continue to impress us with their freshness and quality control giving you the best available organic walnuts. Yum! In fact, I just ordered the organic raw sunflower seeds to try since I've not been happy with local bulk bin quality.

Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden on Monday issued an order to all employees that forbids them from meeting with the Department of Justice without his permission.
A dozen or more such unofficial meetings have been held, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.
The DOJ is expected to issue a draft agreement this week laying a blueprint for reforms at the department aimed at overhauling how APD uses force, trains cadets and holds officers accountable. Police have shot and killed 26 people since 2010, and the DOJ in April issued a 46-page report that said APD systematically violated citizens' constitutional rights through the use of force.
Also on Monday, the federal agency met with community members in a three-plus-hour meeting, at which representatives from various groups and families of people shot by APD weighed in on how to move forward and to ensure residents can comment during the process, according to those at the meeting.
Eden's message, the text of which was obtained by the Journal, appears to have been sent shortly before noon Monday. It says officers have been meeting with the DOJ for various reasons and that the meetings should stop immediately.
The message came from the office of one of two majors at the department, new positions created to ensure officer accountability and improve communications to officers in the field.
APD spokeswoman Janet Blair said Eden and his command staff have created a protocol to ensure all communications to the DOJ come from those in the negotiations, including the chief.
"This morning (Monday), Chief Eden was informed that this may have not occurred," Blair said in an email. "He was informed that there have been as many as a dozen or more meetings between the DOJ and APD personnel that he had not been made aware of through normal internal communications at the department."
Blair said the chief issued the directive because of his role in the negotiations.
"He feels strongly that he needs to be made aware of all meetings so that he or his designee can participate," Blair said, adding that the chief has no idea who was at the meetings or what was discussed.
A Department of Justice spokeswoman declined comment and DOJ representatives at the meeting couldn't be reached for comment afterward.
Those who attended the meeting said the DOJ suggested the agreement will be completed and given to the city by the end of this week.
Stephen Torres, whose son Christopher was shot and killed by police in 2011, said the meeting assured him that the DOJ will do its job in reforming the department and said the public will have an opportunity to weigh in later.
However, a member of one APD activist group said he was disappointed the DOJ is not going to allow a community observer to sit in on negotiations as they happen, something that several community groups had asked for.
"(DOJ representatives) spent several hours listening to people and very quickly rejected out of hand the notion that a community observer be represented at the meeting," said Chris Banks, an organizer with the ANSWER coalition.

You may have heard about Michael Jordan's recent comments regarding LeBron James and what went down in Miami. But if you stepped out of hoop reality for a second, let me fill you in: "There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,' " Jordan declared at a golf tournament in Nevada over the weekend.
Jordan went on to add that times are different. Whether that's good or bad, he doesn't know.
"In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys," he continued.
Charles Barkley agreed with his friend and even went a little further, proclaiming LeBron can never be in the GOAT discussion no matter how many titles he wins.
Even the normally soft-spoken Kevin Durant chimed in on Twitter: "Now everybody wanna play for the heat and the Lakers? Let's go back to being competitive and going at these peoples!"
All of these comments raise some interesting questions:
1. Should stars try to "win it by themselves" or should they try to align themselves with the best possible teammates to win a championship?
2. Should LeBron specifically be held to the same standard or blueprint MJ helped create? Or better yet, why would people want LeBron to do it just like MJ did?
3. As fans, do y'all want generations post-Michael to attempt to match his accomplishments, or instead create their own legacy? In other words, if LeBron doesn't do it the way MJ did, does that make it wrong?

The programme implemented to educate bus drivers & conductors on the mitigation of accidents commenced from Nuwara Eliya today.
The programme is conducted under the auspices of the National Transportation commission.
Due to the increase in public transport related accidents around 8% of commuters have refrained from utilising public transport this year, as opposed to the year before.
Accordingly this programme has been implemented taking into account this situation.
These were the views expressed by the Chairman of the National Transportation Commission Roshan Gunawardhana in this regard.
Meanwhile Chief Secretary of the All Ceylon Private Bus Owners Federation Anjana Priyanjith has requested of the National Transportation Commission to focus its attention on the qualitative aspect of semi luxury bus services.

Minted by the Royal Mint in Great Britain, the Gold Britannia coin is one of the most beautiful coins on the market. Add this graded 1/2 oz Gold Britannia to your cart today!
Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles, takes her name from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century, when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica. Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. She was a firm fixture on coins from this point onwards, appearing on pennies issued under every monarch from 1797 until decimalization, when she was chosen to appear on the 50 pence coin until 2008.
Over the years, the image of Britannia has altered slightly, with her maritime links being emphasized by switching her spear to a trident. Britannia is seen as a symbol of British unity, liberty and strength, meaning she resurfaces during particularly challenging times. Like Columbia in the U.S. and Marianne in France, Britannia becomes more prominent in times of war or when national pride is booming.
In 1987, Britannia's image graced the new Gold bullion coin minted by the Royal Mint known as the Gold Britannia. These Gold coins have since grown in popularity as an investment and a collector's piece. Gold Britannias are available in sizes as small as 1/20 oz and as large as 5 oz Gold coins. In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia. Over time, both the Gold Britannia and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase in metal purity, making them major players in the modern coin market.

I've got the squad I need - Guardiola
New Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola feels he already has a squad capable of challenging for honours next season even if the Catalan giants do not bring in a new striker.
Barca have already allowed Giovani dos Santos and Santi Ezquerro to leave the club while on Monday fellow forwards Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o both looked to have moved a step closer to the Nou Camp exit door.
Those departures could leave Barca with a dearth of attacking options next season, especially if nothing comes of their reported interest in players such as Emmanuel Adebayor, David Villa, David Trezeguet, Karim Benzema and Dimitar Berbatov.
However, Guardiola is not letting all that worry him, insisting he has total faith in the players already at his disposal.
'It's not a problem. I know that sometimes these things take time, but if we don't sign a number nine it will not be a concern,' he said.
'With the team that I have now we can go far and compete with everybody. I've got the squad I need,' added Guardiola, who still has Thierry Henry, Bojan Krkic and Eidur Gudjohnsen to lead the attack.
'I'm expecting a lot of Henry,' the former Barca captain continued.
'I've spoken to him and I know that his first year wasn't easy, but I think he brings an awful lot to the team and I want to make the most of both him and Bojan.'
Guardiola, who replaced Frank Rijkaard in the Nou Camp hotseat at the end of last season, also reiterated that the way was clear for big-name duo Eto'o and Ronaldinho to leave the club.
'They are not in our plans for the season, but if in the end they remain, they will be welcome and we will do what is necessary to get them to a great level,' said Guardiola.
The chances of either Eto'o or Ronaldinho starting next term with Barca were looking slim on Monday night.
With regards to Ronaldinho, Barca president Joan Laporta confirmed they had received two 'interesting' offers for the Brazil playmaker, one from Manchester City and the other believed to be from AC Milan.
And there are claims from Uzbekistan League side Kuruvchi that Cameroon international Eto'o has agreed a deal to join them and will be unveiled later this week.
The news was confirmed by Kuruvchi sporting director Bahtier Babayev, who told PA Sport: 'Eto'o will arrive in Tashkent on Thursday and he will sign a contract with our club, at least up until the end of 2008.
'The term of the contract will depend on our performance in the AFC Champions League. We will play Saipa in the quarter-finals and Eto'o is our main purchase before the knockout stage of the tournament.'
The news took Barca by surprise, with an official spokesperson telling PA Sport: 'Nobody at the club knows anything about this. I don't think it's very likely.'
But Kuruvchi remained adamant they had secured the services of the prolific 27-year-old hitman.
Following their initial announcement, the club put a second statement on their website after revealing they had been swamped by phone calls and emails from different countries.
The second statement insisted the African striker would arrive in Tashkent 'at night from 16th to 17th of July' with a view to representing the club in the second half of the Uzbek campaign.

Obama Also Issues "Ebola Amnesty"
Lost in the hoopla of President Obama's enormous administrative amnesty affecting mostly Mexican and Central American illegal immigrants is that he also implemented a special protective order allowing people from Ebola nations to stay in the United States.

Miller signs for Whitecaps
Cardiff City have announced that Kenny Miller has left the club to join MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps.
Kenny, 32, signed for Cardiff from Bursaspor last summer, scoring eleven goals in 49 appearances during the 2011-12 campaign.
He has now agreed a deal with Vancouver Whitecaps, although the details of the fee and contract length have not been disclosed.
Miller said on his new side's official website: "I'm delighted to be making this move to Major League Soccer and Vancouver Whitecaps. I have heard many great things about the club and the city of Vancouver, and have been impressed by the standard of MLS. To have the chance to continue my career in North America with Whitecaps FC is a fantastic opportunity for me and my family."
Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie said: "We're delighted to bring an experienced striker like Kenny to our club. He has been a proven goalscorer with big clubs in Scotland and played in the England Premier League. His speed, energy, and work rate will be a valuable asset to our club, as we look to have a strong second half of the season in MLS."
Cardiff wrote on their official website: "We'd like to thank Kenny for his contribution to Cardiff City Football Club and wish him the very best of luck for the rest of his career."

Journey 1: Our Domain: The Contoso Conference Management System
The starting point: Where have we come from, what are we taking, and who is coming with us?
"I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward." David Livingstone
This chapter introduces a fictitious company named Contoso. It describes Contoso's plans to launch the Contoso Conference Management System, a new online service that will enable other companies or individuals to organize and manage their own conferences and events. This chapter describes, at a high-level, some of the functional and non-functional requirements of the new system, and why Contoso wants to implement parts of it using the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern and event sourcing (ES). As with any company considering this process, there are many issues to consider and challenges to be met, particularly because this is the first time Contoso has used both the CQRS pattern and event sourcing. The chapters that follow show, step by step, how Contoso designed and built its conference management application.
This chapter also introduces a panel of fictional experts to comment on the development efforts.
The Contoso Corporation
Contoso is a startup ISV company of approximately 20 employees that specializes in developing solutions using Microsoft technologies. The developers at Contoso are knowledgeable about various Microsoft products and technologies, including the .NET Framework, ASP.NET MVC, and Microsoft Azure. Some of the developers have previous experience using the domain-driven design (DDD) approach, but none of them have used the CQRS pattern previously.
The Conference Management System application is one of the first innovative online services that Contoso wants to take to market. As a startup, Contoso wants to develop and launch these services with a minimal investment in hardware and IT personnel. Contoso wants to be quick to market in order to start growing market share, and cannot afford the time to implement all of the planned functionality in the first releases. Therefore, it is important that the architecture it adopts can easily accommodate changes and enhancements with minimal impact on existing users of the system. Contoso has chosen to deploy the application on Azure in order to take advantage of its ability to scale applications as demand grows.
Who is coming with us on the journey?
As mentioned earlier, this guide and the accompanying RI describe a CQRS journey. A panel of experts will comment on our development efforts as we go. This panel includes a CQRS expert, a software architect, a developer, a domain expert, an IT Pro, and a business manager. They will all comment from their own perspectives.
Gary is a CQRS expert. He ensures that a CQRS-based solution will work for a company and will provide tangible benefits. He is a cautious person, for good reason.
"Defining the CQRS pattern is easy. Realizing the benefits that implementing the CQRS pattern can offer is not always so straightforward."
Jana is a software architect. She plans the overall structure of an application. Her perspective is both practical and strategic. In other words, she considers not only what technical approaches are needed today, but also what direction a company needs to consider for the future. Jana has worked on projects that used the domain-driven design approach.
"It's not easy to balance the needs of the company, the users, the IT organization, the developers, and the technical platforms we rely on."
Markus is a software developer who is new to the CQRS pattern. He is analytical, detail-oriented, and methodical. He's focused on the task at hand, which is building a great application. He knows that he's the person who's ultimately responsible for the code.
"I don't care what architecture you want to use for the application; I'll make it work."
Carlos is the domain expert. He understands all the ins and outs of conference management. He has worked in a number of organizations that help people run conferences. He has also worked in a number of different roles: sales and marketing, conference management, and consultant.
"I want to make sure that the team understands how this business works so that we can deliver a world-class online conference management system."
Poe is an IT professional who's an expert in deploying and running applications in the cloud. Poe has a keen interest in practical solutions; after all, he's the one who gets paged at 3:00 AM when there's a problem.
"Running complex applications in the cloud involves challenges that are different than the challenges in managing on-premises applications. I want to make sure our new conference management system meets our published service-level agreements (SLA)."
Beth is a business manager. She helps companies to plan how their business will develop. She understands the market that the company operates in, the resources that the company has available, and the goals of the company. She has both a strategic view and an interest in the day-to-day operations of the company.
"Organizations face many conflicting demands on their resources. I want to make sure that our company balances those demands and adopts a business plan that will make us successful in the medium and long term."
If you have a particular area of interest, look for notes provided by the specialists whose interests align with yours.
The Contoso Conference Management System
This section describes the Contoso Conference Management System as the team envisaged it at the start of the journey. The team has not used the CQRS pattern before; therefore, the system that is delivered at the end of our journey may not match this description exactly because:
- What we learn as we go may impact what we ultimately deliver.
- Because this is a learning journey, it is more difficult to estimate what we can achieve in the available time.
Overview of the system
Contoso plans to build an online conference management system that will enable its customers to plan and manage conferences that are held at a physical location. The system will enable Contoso's customers to:
- Manage the sale of different seat types for the conference.
- Create a conference and define characteristics of that conference.
The Contoso Conference Management System will be a multi-tenant, cloud-hosted application. Business customers will need to register with the system before they can create and manage their conferences.
Selling seats for a conference
The business customer defines the number of seats available for the conference. The business customer may also specify events at a conference such as workshops, receptions, and premium sessions for which attendees must have a separate ticket. The business customer also defines how many seats are available for these events.
The system manages the sale of seats to ensure that the conference and sub-events are not oversubscribed. This part of the system will also operate wait-lists so that if other attendees cancel, their seats can be reallocated.
The system will require that the names of the attendees be associated with the purchased seats so that an on-site system can print badges for the attendees when they arrive at the conference.
Creating a conference
A business customer can create new conferences and manage information about the conference such as its name, description, and dates. The business customer can also make a conference visible on the Contoso Conference Management System website by publishing it, or hide it by unpublishing it.
Additionally, the business customer defines the seat types and available quantity of each seat type for the conference.
Contoso also plans to enable the business customer to specify the following characteristics of a conference:
- Whether the paper submission process will require reviewers.
- What the fee structure for paying Contoso will be.
- Who key personnel, such as the program chair and the event planner, will be.
Nonfunctional requirements
Contoso has two major nonfunctional requirements for its conference management system—scalability and flexibility—and it hopes that the CQRS pattern will help it meet them.
The conference management system will be hosted in the cloud; one of the reasons Contoso chose a cloud platform was its scalability and potential for elastic scalability.
Although cloud platforms such as Azure enable you to scale applications by adding (or removing) role instances, you must still design your application to be scalable. By splitting responsibility for the application's read and write operations into separate objects, the CQRS pattern allows Contoso to split those operations into separate Azure roles that can scale independently of each other. This recognizes the fact that for many applications, the number of read operations vastly exceeds the number of write operations. This gives Contoso the opportunity to scale the conference management system more efficiently, and make better use of the Azure role instances it uses.
The market that the Contoso Conference Management System operates in is very competitive, and very fast moving. In order to compete, Contoso must be able to quickly and cost effectively adapt the conference management system to changes in the market. This requirement for flexibility breaks down into a number of related aspects:
- Contoso must be able to evolve the system to meet new requirements and to respond to changes in the market.
Beth Says: Contoso plans to compete by being quick to respond to changes in the market and to changing customer requirements. Contoso must be able to evolve the system quickly and painlessly.
- The system must be able to run multiple versions of its software simultaneously in order to support customers who are in the middle of a conference and who do not wish to upgrade to a new version immediately. Other customers may wish to migrate their existing conference data to a new version of the software as it becomes available.
Poe Says: This is a big challenge: keeping the system running for all our customers while we perform upgrades with no down time.
- Contoso intends the software to last for at least five years. It must be able to accommodate significant changes over that period.
- Contoso does not want the complexity of some parts of the system to become a barrier to change.
- Contoso would like to be able to use different developers for different elements of the system, using cheaper developers for simpler tasks and restricting its use of more expensive and experienced developers to the more critical aspects of the system.
Beginning the journey
The next chapter is the start of our CQRS journey. It provides more information about the Contoso Conference Management System and describes some of the high-level parts of the system. Subsequent chapters describe the stages of the journey as Contoso implements the conference management system.

James Joyce was her father - Samuel Beckett was her lover
Lucia Joyce, daughter of famed author James Joyce, is a young woman with a passion for dance, living in Paris in the 1920's.
In the novel by Annabel Abbs, Lucia is The Joyce Girl.
For a dancer, avant-garde Paris in the 20's is the place to be. So much creativity for all of the arts. Painters, writers, musicians everywhere. Paris is buzzing with potential and excitement. Dancing is Lucia's life, she is talented and dedicated and has such dreams for the future. She twirls and spins as a second language and her Father, who delights in her, finds inspiration in her movements and she, in turn, becomes his muse.
The Joyce household is a tumultuous place however, Lucia's Mother is a hard and brash woman who adores her son Giorgio, an aspiring singer, and despises her daughter for reasons that are never truly made clear other than her suggested jealousy of her daughter's place in her husband's heart.
This is not a loving environment, both Lucia and Giorgio have their demons to fight growing up with a "genius" Father, whose drive to write his novels come at the expense of his family. The world revolves around him and his pages and his wife Nora enforces this.
This is a novel that has been written with such depth and richness but has such sadness and tragedy interwoven throughout as Lucia, navigates her tumultuous life desperately seeking a life of meaning and purpose, desperately trying to escape the web of family which had entangled her physically and emotionally.
As Lucia attempts to break free from her family, through dance, through young suitors who claim to love her, she is thwarted and manipulated at every turn. Desperation and despair turn to anger, which in turn overwhelms her and so the descent into madness begins.
I found myself quite outraged as I was reading, I became so invested in Lucia's struggle. I so hoped she would rise above the vortex that was dragging her down into the darkness. The pure selfishness and self-absorption of her family frustrated me.
This novel, though a work of fiction, is based on true events augmented by strong and thorough research by the author. Knowing this made my heart ache for Lucia, internally I wept as I felt her despair and her loss and her heartache. To be drawn into the pages as I was is a testament to the author. To be thinking upon this story with real emotion long after the last page turned, says it all.
Lucia's life was indeed forfeited for the artistic gains of James Joyce.
The Joyce Girl by Annabel Abbs, published by Hachette Australia, is available from Dymocks.

It's almost an insult to the artist when a flyer promoting a Dick Dale concert refers to him as a "guitar legend" and then goes on to note, "as heard in Pulp Fiction and as remixed by Black Eyed Peas." About time the kiddies turned off MTV.
A brief history lesson: In the Fifties, surfing was gaining popularity in Southern California, but the guitar, still considered an instrument of the Devil, was largely shunned in concert halls. Dale, a lefty who played right-handed guitars upside down, was about to combine his passion for the two to create a new style of music, thereby making him the King of Surf Guitar.
Dick Dale
Dick Dale performs Wednesday, February 14, at Churchill's, 5501 NE 2nd Ave, Miami. Doors open at 9:00 p.m. Tickets cost $20. Call 305-757-1807.
Largely influenced by jazz drummer Gene Krupa, Dale's sound blends Middle Eastern and Latin influences with lightning-fast picking and a big sound that gave way to the invention of Fender power amps. The thickness in Dale's playing comes from heavy guitar strings and his signature reverb, which became the trademark of his second album, King of the Surf Guitar.

Dale's popularity peaked during the early Sixties, but he was more a local hero than a national icon. His famous shows at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California, brought in thousands, but after a bout with cancer, Dale retired.
Despite this, his music has been highly influential, especially in the punk realm, with bands such as the Cramps and the Dead Kennedys paying homage to Dale with surf-rock flourishes. Of course, Quentin Tarantino's role in popularizing Dale can't be overlooked, because his most popular song, "Miserlou," was the theme for Pulp Fiction.
Fans who loved Dale long before John Travolta's comeback have happily granted themselves a special tag: Dickheads. Alexandra Quiñones

Five ways tonight's moderator can rescue the VP debate from itself
She didn't ask for this; certainly not from a guy who has never moderated a major televised debate in his life.
But as a professional viewer and audience advocate, I'm going to offer a little unsolicited advice for ABC correspondent Martha Raddatz, now in the world's cross-hairs as the moderator of tonight's vice presidential debate.
She'll be refereeing an event with tremendous meaning for partisans on both sides -- Republicans who want to see Paul Ryan continue challenger Mitt Romney's momentum and Democrats pulling for vice president Joe Biden to rescue his boss, President Barack Obama.
But what viewers of tonight's 9 p.m. showdown really need is an advocate of their own in charge of the debate. To that end, here's my thoughts on what Raddatz needs to achieve in order to reach the ultimate goal -- creating a debate which informs viewers and challenges the candidates.
1) Challenge misstatements on both sides. Presidential debate moderator Jim Lehrer told me he never intended to directly challenge the candidates, pushing them instead to challenge each other. The problem with that approach, is it can mean both candidates wind up trading half-truths, slogans and outright lies with no one to call them on it. A good moderator does more than keep the debate trains running on time; when Romney insists his health care plan covers pre-existing health problems or Obama says 50 million people will lose health insurance if his Affordable Health Care Act is repealed -- both ruled "mostly false" by PolitiFact -- then the moderator is viewers' best hope for an independent voice to challenge the obfuscation.
2) Ask specific questions. Lehrer's style of open-ended questions - "can we agree, voters have a clear choice between the two of you?" -- mostly allows for bloviating and vagaries. Voters need specific answers to really judge how they feel about candidates. Bearing in mind that undecided voters can often be low-information voters, they need a debate which puts as many specifics on the table as possible; can't get those without specific questions.
3) Explain stuff the audience might not know. One of Lehrer's questions to Romney was "do you support Simpson/Bowles?" But he didn't actually define Simpson/Bowles -- which is a shorthand for recommendations to fix the fiscal crisis advanced by a bipartisan commission created by President Obama. (remember those aforementioned undecided/low-information viewers?) As other critics noted, he also didn't point out that Romney's running mate Paul Ryan voted for those recommendations, and the question itself was obvious and too broad (is he really going to support an initiative created by the guy he's running against?)
4) Don't be afraid to insist on some rules. Cool as it was to see both men forced to compete directly last week, the lack of rules made a coherent debate more difficult. Too many rules are a pain, but no rules turns a debate into a televised, barely genteel shouting match. It also diminishes respect for the moderator, which makes it easier for participants to shrug off their questions as the debate proceeds. If the moderator is ineffectual, why should anybody listen to him (or her)? Which means important questions don't get answered.
5) Don't be afraid to look like a jerk. Politicians know that most mainstream TV people have an Achilles heel; they are deathly afraid the audience will stop liking them (a close second, for most traditional TV journalists, is looking partisan). So candidates keep talking during a debate, knowing that the moderator may not have a choice but to look like a jerk by insisting they follow the rules (Obama seemed to play that card last week when he admonished Lehrer for interrupting him early, then proceeded to talk far over his remaining time). I'm hoping Raddatz, who doesn't have to worry if her evening newscast or weekend political show will suffer if her image takes a hit, will see it as a personal mission to make the candidates respect her, her questions and her role in the event.
Otherwise, why have a moderator at all?
