ESPN just confirmed that the network's relationship with Erin Andrews is over. It looks like she's headed to Fox, per a Richard Deitsch column.
It's definitely a surprise. Of ESPN's big names who had contracts set to expire—Michelle Beadle and Scott Van Pelt were the others—she was pursued the least aggressively. Two weeks ago, we heard that she had had no takers.
And now her strange (and often dramatic) eight-year run with ESPN is over.
In a statement, a spokesman said: "Erin Andrews leaving ESPN. She did great work for us and we made an aggressive offer to keep her. We wish her the best on her next chapter."

Check It Out! Shiloh Looks Just Like Brad Pitt AGAIN!
Shiloh is the cutest little Brad mini-me. With the backwards baseball cap and messy hair she looks just like Dad!
The Jolie-Pitt kids have totally taken on their parents' style, but Shiloh is following so closely in her dad Brad Pitt's fashion footsteps that it's freaky.
The 4-year-old totally had her dad's style when she was out shopping yesterday with mom Angelina Jolie, and her siblings Pax and Zahara at a toy store in Oakland. The messy blond hair, the backwards baseball cap, the grey shirt! Freaky!
Not only that, but Shiloh is even wearing an Oakland A's hat. Big deal, you say? Well, Brad is currently filming Moneyball, in which he's playing Billy Bean, the Oakland A's general manager. Like we said, freaky!

Wheaton woman triumphs over disabling hearing loss
It might be irony that prevented you from hearing that Sunday was International Ear Care Day. But it could be something more.
More than 365 million people in the world suffer from disabling hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization. While one out of every three people older than 65 lives with hearing loss, so do 32 million children younger than 15, the agency notes. In an effort to spread the word and inform others about the struggles faced by people with hearing issues, Nancy Chovancek of Wheaton wrote a book now available on Amazon.com titled "I Can Finally Hear Birds: A Candid, Comical And Intimate Journey About Hearing Loss, Meniere's Disease And Cochlear Implants."
"I had constant earaches when I was a kid," remembers Chovancek, 49, who grew up in Roselle and graduated from Lake Park High School in 1982. "You'd get ear drops and cotton balls, and that was that."
It wasn't until she was an adult that she learned her problem had a name.
Hopping on a spinning ride at the Kane County Fair, Chovancek became uncharacteristically dizzy and nauseated. Three months later, her hearing seemed different. Sounds were muffled.
"There was a fullness in my ears, like I was talking in a tunnel," she says.
A doctor diagnosed Meniere's disease, a disorder of the inner ear that can cause spontaneous episodes of vertigo (a spinning sensation), tinnitus (ringing or buzzing) and hearing loss. While the syndrome has many causes, Chovancek suspects it grew out of the lingering infections from her youth.
"OK. I'm 21. So what do I have to do to fix it?" Chovancek remembers saying with the confidence of youth.
She took diuretics, which worked to limit the fluid buildup in her ear, but Meniere's disease has no cure. In her 30s, Chovancek suffered from vertigo so severe she would vomit. Tinnitus came to her right ear and, a year later, spread to her left. She frequently asked people to repeat a question.
"It started affecting my relationships, my work, my life, everything. You get left out of conversations. You feel like you're over here and everybody else is over there," Chovancek says. "Most people don't realize they are losing their hearing. When's the last time you heard your dishwasher run?"
The little background sounds of life -- from the dishwasher to the chirping of birds -- disappeared.
"I started wearing hearing aids, the small ones, in 2006," says Chovancek, who admits she had to overcome the social stigma of wearing them. "Then I had to go to the big grandpa ones in 2007."
The death of both her parents exactly a year apart helped inspire Chovancek to retire from her job as a corporate project manager in March 2009 and follow her dream. She got a degree in web graphic design from DeVry University and launched her own Pegleg Web Design & Online Marketing business.
But her hearing loss became so severe, she no longer could understand conversations on the telephone.
"I didn't use the telephone for a year. My communication was text messages, email, notes and hand puppets," Chovancek says, showing how her husband, Dave, and her son, Matt, developed hand gestures to make her understand.
"If you want to communicate, you don't need to speak," says Dave, who adds that he wrote plenty of notes and also became a more-than-adequate texter.
Working with the Hinsdale office of the Ear Institute of Chicago, which also has an office in Elk Grove Village, Chovancek eventually qualified for a cochlear implant, a device that uses a digital processor to send sound signals to the brain and let people hear again.
The surgery to install sound processors behind her ears left Chovancek completely deaf for a month. When they activated the device on March 11, 2009, Chovancek began training her brain to interpret the sounds. While she and her husband walked their three German shepherds around their neighborhood, she heard a noise she didn't recognize.
"I said, 'What is that sound?' and Dave said, 'Those are birds, hon,'" recalls Chovancek, who remembers crying at the news. "I was so sad because I hadn't heard those sounds for over five years. When I see people walking around with earbuds, I think, 'You don't know what you are missing.'"
She talks on the phone again, uses a remote control to adjust the sound and is completely deaf when she takes off the device. Her issues aren't over, however, as Chovancek has been struggling with a severe form of vertigo known as "drop attacks," in which people experience the sensation of falling. But she's hopeful a new treatment with Chicago Dizziness and Hearing can curb that problem.
In the meantime, she celebrates what she has.
"I don't need my ears any more. They are basically ornaments for my earrings," Chovancek says. "But I can hear, and I am grateful that I can hear."
At times, her deafness can even be useful, she says. While sky divers sometimes complain about the scary whoosh when the airplane doors open, Chovancek parachuted twice last summer without her implants.
"If I want to sky dive at 14,000 feet, I don't have a problem," Chovancek says. "I don't hear anything."

Foot Pain
Hi, I`m 29 years old and I have diabetes. I have most of my sugars under control, but I have this real bad pain in my feet. They tingle, too. I also have Charley horses in my feet every night. Should I have my feet checked?
The problems you describe in your feet could have a number of possible causes but diabetes would be high on the list of explanations. Tingling is a common problem with diabetic nerve problems (neuropathy). It is a long-term consequence of inadequate blood sugar control and can improve over the long-term with better sugar control. This symptom should be taken as a wake-up call to improve the blood sugars to prevent more serious complications, particularly foot injuries that may lead to infections and raise the risk of needing an amputation in the future. "Charley horse" is not the usual description of the discomfort that comes from diabetic neuropathy although that is a possibility. It is more likely to be due to an imbalance in an electrolyte in the blood like potassium. That is a more immediately dangerous problem and bears getting evaluated soon. I would strongly encourage that you see your doctor quickly about the Charley horses and that you see your doctor or nurse soon (but not as urgently) to evaluate your overall level of blood sugar control. It is important to see that you are setting the right goals for your blood sugars and have all the tools you need to accomplish that. Good luck! Please feel free to write back with further questions.

Spoiler Alert. Earlier this week, B.o.B confirmed to Ryan Cameron on V-103 that his Sophomore album would be called "Strange Clouds". Jim Jonsin, the album's producer, told MTV, "What Bob wanted to do was go into the lab himself and spend his time creating what he wanted his album to have, the direction he wanted. So we're waiting on him to come back with that house that he's built so we can go ahead and put all the fixtures in and try to help with it." We can't wait.

The National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED), St. Louis, recently introduced new business development tools created specifically for contractors. The Profitable Project CD Series is designed to help contractors improve business operations and increase sales. Featuring interviews with contractors and industry experts, these CDs are targeted primarily to contractors looking to grow their companies and improve marketing, sales, and operations skills.
The goal of the CD series is to help contractors increase profits while encouraging the team approach to selling, according to Sandra Rosecrans, past vice president of NAED's Eastern Region Council. The council initiated the Profitable Project CDs and has provided guidance and feedback throughout the program's development.
"Our intention is to help contractors become more profitable," said Rosecrans, president of City Electric Co., Inc., in Syracuse, N.Y. "We want everyone in the contracting company to think like a salesperson and be able to present product upgrade options — especially the field people who are at the job site and in the position to identify upsell opportunities. Customers want to improve their lives, and electrical contractors can help customers by identifying electrical options for better living."
NAED's Eastern Region Council selected a CD format because of its versatility, allowing contractors to listen as they travel from job site to job site. Topics include: "Understanding Financial Statements and Managing Your Bank Relationship" (now available), "Growing Gross Margins With Premium Products" (now available), "Getting Your Field People to Think Like Sales People" (available January 2008), "Create Demand Selling — A Whole Team Approach" (available in May 2008), and "Exploring the Upsell Opportunity with your Customer" (coming September in 2008).
The Profitable Project is available as an online course as well. To access the online program, contractors need a user name and password, which can be provided by the distributor. For more information on the Profitable Project CDs, call (888) 791-2512 or visit http://www.naed.org/common/articlelink.asp?currentpage=3987. To view the resources available to contractors, visit the Profitable Project Contractors Web site at www.naed.org/profitableproject.

Star Alliance has today released the first official impressions of its new Los Angeles lounge, which will open later this year at the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Designed by global architectural firm Gensler, the lounge is inspired by a contemporary interpretation of modernist L.A. architecture of the 1950s and 1960s. This concept underlines the new guidelines for Star Alliance branded lounges, which are based on better meeting the evolving needs of today's traveller while at the same time introducing a unique local flavour in each location. For example, black and white photos, inspired by L.A. and shot by renowned photographers, will underline the Alliance's corporate colours. In addition, a collection of objects linked to L.A. and Southern California will also be on display, sparking the curiosity of locals and guests alike.
As can be seen from the images, the lounge incorporates defined spaces to suit passenger needs ranging from social gatherings around the bar to quiet time in the library. The lounge will have two distinct areas, one for the exclusive use of customers travelling in First Class and a larger section for Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers.
A unique feature of this lounge is the open air terrace where guests can relax beside a cosy fireplace by night, or by a water feature while enjoying views to the Hollywood hills under the Californian sunshine by day.
Earlier this year, Star Alliance launched the first of its new generation of lounges in Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport. The feedback received so far indicates a very high level of customer satisfaction. Many guests have commented on the comfortable and locally inspired surroundings, modern facilities and friendly staff which make for a unique and memorable airport experience.
Member carrier Air New Zealand has been appointed to develop and manage the Alliance's new lounge at Los Angeles International Airport, which is part of the expansion of the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Construction of the new lounge is expected to be completed in July 2013. Customers will be able to make use of the facility later in the year, once the terminal extension has been completed and the existing Star Alliance Lounge (opened in 2007) has been closed.
In total, eight Star Alliance member carriers operate out of the Tom Bradley Terminal – ANA, Asiana Airlines, EVA Air, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SWISS, THAI and Turkish Airlines. Air New Zealand plans to move to the terminal in mid-2014, at which stage its Koru Lounge in Terminal 2 will close.
In addition to the lounge in the Tom Bradley terminal, Star Alliance member carriers offer the following lounge facilities at LAX International Airport:
Terminal 1 US Airways Club
Terminal 2 Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge,
Air New Zealand Koru Lounge (until mid-2014)
Terminal 6 United Club
Terminal 7 United Club and United International First Class Lounge
Lounge access is one of the key benefits offered to Star Alliance Gold, First and Business class customers, who presently have access to more than 1,000 lounges across the Alliance's global network.

While my grand-aunt Mabel Davis Hines Martin may have inherited, by marriage, the antique Dresden china clock that was the envy of her new Tennessee neighbors, I know very little about the man whose mother bequeathed it to him.
Horace Lightfoot Martin must have come into Mabel's life some time before the 1940 census, for I can pinpoint their residence then to Mosswood Avenue in South Orange, New Jersey. Actually, considering that census requested information on each family's residence in the previous five years, Horace and Mabel were there in 1935 as well.
Only Horace's wife wasn't going by the name Mabel. She was known at the time as Jean—which, I suppose, is close enough to the census enumerator's "Joan" entered for her first name. The whole Mabel-Jean name thing is something I've just got to explain to you. Soon. I promise.
The best I can figure from census records, Horace was previously married to a woman named Bertha, which is evident from both the 1920 census and his World War I draft registration papers. By the time of the 1930 census, though, I'm not sure I've found the right man. The railroad "agent" of later years evidently had a number of earlier stints in other lines of work, making it hard to know for sure whether the "single" man working as an office manager for a "steam railroad," according to the 1930 census, was the same Horace Martin.
Perhaps it is just lack of access to online versions of New Jersey state records hindering my ability to find much more on the man. I did find a version of Horace's obituary, after his death on September 1, 1959, in the Johnson City Press, a newspaper published in the relatively-larger city near Mabel's home town of Erwin in Tennessee, though I could find no mentions in any sources closer to the Martins' residence in the greater New York metropolitan area.
You know how it is about finding one's name in The New York Times. And I don't know the Jersey-version of the Daily News.
Even so, finding the list of Horace's many siblings in his obituary seemed promising to me, despite the relatively common surname he possessed. After all, Martin or not, how many men do you know named Saunders? Or Talmage? Or how many women have you met named Indiana?
I had hoped, by tracing his siblings' lines upward, I could find out more about this specific Martin family. So far, no luck.
Even so, Horace Martin's obituary shared a couple of hints about his stature within the railroad industry in the "local" area of New York City, where he worked in his later years. From those, we can glean the idea that he met with a measure of success.
That alone, however, still doesn't provide any hints as to how his mother came to own such a unique antique—even if it was only coveted in the back corners of Tennessee.
ERWIN—Horace L. Martin, 76, died yesterday morning in South Orange, N. J. His wife is the former Mabel Davis Martin, Erwin. Martin was a retired agent for the Norfolk and Western Railroad with headquarters in New York. A member of the Methodist Church, he had lived in South Orange for the past 30 years. He was a member of the New York Athletic Club, Down-Town Club, and held a lifetime membership in the New York Traffic Club.Survivors include the widow, Mrs. H. L. Martin of the home, four sisters, Mrs. Mary Hanks, Mrs. Virginia Purdun and Mrs. Gladys Mountcastle, Richmond, Va., and Mrs. Indiana Cecil of Indiana; three brothers, Ray and Talmadge Martin, Richmond, Va., and Saunders Martin, Raleigh, N. C. Boyd-DeArmond Funeral Home is in charge.

When the government decided to build a highway to Wenling, a town in China's Zhejiang province, it offered everyone in the neighborhood compensation to relocate.
But farmer Luo Baogen and his wife refused to move, saying the compensation wasn't enough for them to rebuild their home elsewhere.
Faced with Luo's refusal to leave, the government decided to go ahead and build the road around it anyway.
Reuters reports that this phenomenon - when one building remains, after those around it have been demolished - is called a 'nail house'.

Car Salesman in Sioux Falls Attacked by Would-Be Buyer
Police say a suspect is in custody after a weekend incident at a Sioux Falls auto dealership.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says a couple had agreed to buy a vehicle from Billion GMC but had not yet taken delivery.
On Sunday afternoon, they met with the salesman and wanted to look at the vehicle again, so the salesman drove them from the Billion GMC lot to the Billion KIA lot, but another man rode along.
Clemens says the salesman thought the man was with the couple, while they thought he was with the salesman. But after he rode back to the GMC lot, the salesman found him in the office and told him he could not be there.
The man said he was there to buy a vehicle and began filling out paperwork, but when the salesman turned to use the copy machine, Clemens says the man stabbed him in the head with a screwdriver, causing a small cut.
Clemens says the suspect tried to flee, but he was stopped by other employees, and when police arrived they found a bag of methamphetamine in his pocket.
Clemens says James Buke was charged with aggravated assault, false impersonation, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In one of the strangest moments of the fiscal cliff debate so far, House Speaker John Boehner delivered an abrupt statement Wednesday, warning President Barack Obama to "get serious" about negotiations.
The 50-second "press conference" was in response to Obama's criticism over Boehner's "Plan B" option, which would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for everyone making under $1 million— far above the $250,000 income threshold demanded by President Barack Obama.
"Tomorrow, the House will pass legislation to make permanent tax relief for every American," Boehner said. "Then the president will have a decision to make. He can call on Senate Democrats to pass that bill. Or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in American history."
Then he stormed off stage.
In reality, the "Plan B" bill is a tactical move by the Speaker, who is publicly frustrated with the pace of negotiations with the White House.
On Wednesday, the White House slammed the "Plan B" bill, blasting out a four-page analysis that claims the legislation does not go far enough to help the middle class, and accuses Republicans of "perversely" leaving out any spending cuts. Obama confirmed Wednesday that he would veto the bill if it gets to his desk.
Boehner's office hit back this morning, calling the White House's opposition to the bill "bizarre and irrational."
But Boehner's "Plan B" has also come under fire from conservatives who oppose any increase in marginal tax rates. Both Heritage Action and the Club For Growth — two major grassroots conservative groups — sent memos to Republican members of Congress Wednesday, urging them to vote against "Plan B."
Democrats have signaled that they won't vote for the bill, despite having proposed similar legislation themselves earlier this year.
"You can't turn back the clock," New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate, said Wednesday. "The political landscape has changed. The Pres. ran on $250k."

After the tank was filled, the pilot taxied off and returned to the sky for his second flight of the day. Another F-35 then rolled up for more fuel.
The refueling process has allowed Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 to increase its sorties by 40 percent. Four Marine F-35s flew eight sorties Wednesday, one year to the day after the branch�s variant of the military�s newest stealth fighter took off for the first time at Eglin.
Since then, the Marines� F-35 program has grown by leaps and bounds.
Eglin is the only schoolhouse that trains F-35 pilots and maintainers from all branches of the U.S. military and from international partners.
When the Marines began flying a year ago, they were piloting about three sorties a week. A chaser plane, usually an F-16, would follow behind to make sure the one-seat aircraft was operating correctly.
The F-35s had very limited capability. They weren�t able to fly more than 30 miles over water and couldn�t use many of their high-tech instruments.
Now, they fly 40 to 50 sorties a week.
Jets take off four at a time. They can fly with different aircraft and refuel in the air. The hot refueling allowed eight F-35s to fly 16 sorties in three hours recently.
The Marines� 13 jets are now able to use radar, the electro-optical targeting system and specialized navigation.
Overall, they�ve taken almost 900 flights and spent over 1,100 hours in the air.
Perhaps most significantly, all those hours on the ground and in the sky have allowed the squadron to train enough pilots and maintainers to ship them off to stand up their own F-35 combat fleet, the first in the world.
�I could not be more proud or pleased with what we�ve been able to do in the last year,� said Lt. Col. David Berke, commander of the squadron.
Part of the process has been to develop maintenance procedures for the jet, from replacing a wing tip light to removing and installing an engine.
�Every time you have to fix something on this airplane, it�s the first time it�s been fixed,� Berke said.
Since the jets arrived, the maintainers at Eglin have authored more than 1,000 procedures that will be used for years to come.
They have trained about a dozen pilots and numerous maintainers, and sent them to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona. The fleet there will be the military�s first combat-ready force within the next two years.
That will be possible in part because of the work of the 200 Marines at Eglin over the past year,Berke said.
�We�ve allowed them to hit the ground running,� he said. �When they are declared operations capable in 2015, they are really going to have capability. They aren�t going to be cleared on paper to start figuring things out; they are going to be ready to roll.�
The Marines soon will receive their first Block 2 aircraft, which will have even more capabilities, Berke said. They will eventually have 24 jets at Eglin.
The Marines variant of F-35 can take off and land conventionally or make a vertical landing, something that has never before been possible for a stealth fighter jet.
A pilot trained at Eglin recently made his first vertical landing at Yuma.
By the end of the year, Berke said vertical landings will be commonplace at Eglin.
The training at Eglin and the stand-up of the fleet at Yuma have taken place while the jet is still being developed by Lockheed Martin, a process called concurrency.
Berke said concurrency has without question helped them get to where they are today. He said that although it can seem slow at times with development setbacks and delays that can occasionally affect everyday operations, the program is moving quickly overall.
The people training and operating the F-35B can work closely with the developers and give immediate feedback on how the plane is functioning.
�The cost of it is a slow process with very deliberate growth and mitigation, but overall the airplane evolves much quicker,� he said.
Berke has commanded the Marine squadron for just over a year.
He said he is honored to be a part of the program at such an important point in its growth, but that he also feels obligated to the aircraft that the country and the world will likely depend on for decades to come.
�It�s a once-in-a-lifetime thing to get to write the first chapter of a story that�s going to last 50 years,� Berke said.

Samuel Roberts was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in the town of his birth. In 1844 he entered Manchester New College and, the following year, he began his studies at the University of London. He graduated in mathematics with a BA in 1847, then two years later he was placed first in the examinations for his MA in mathematics and physics.
After this he studied law, becoming a solicitor in 1853 in Lincoln. However his love of mathematics made him give up law after a few years, and he returned to London to take up his mathematical studies for a second time. In fact he had published mathematical papers from 1848 but, after the London Mathematical Society was founded in early 1865, Roberts could join in discussions with other mathematicians for he had no mathematical post. As Glaisher write in [1]:-
He was simply a private gentleman who pursued researches from pure love of investigation and desire to extend the boundaries of subjects that were attractive to him. And he never sought any recognition of his work; for him it was entirely its own reward.Robert's interests in mathematics were wide ranging. Glaisher, writing in [1], describes Roberts' contributions to mathematics as:-
... numerous and valuable, and they covered a somewhat wide range. Among the subjects to which his principal papers related were plane and solid geometry, theory of numbers, and link motion. He also wrote on the calculus of operations, interpolation etc. His writings on geometry included several important papers on parallel curves and surfaces. In theory of numbers he was interested in the Pellian equation and similar problems.Glaisher also records in [1] an interesting comment which Cayley made to him concerning Roberts. Cayley said that he regretted that joint papers were so rare in mathematics since he would have liked to have collaborated with Roberts, particularly on ideas which arose from Roberts' paper On the motion of a plane under given conditions.
Roberts served on the Council of the London Mathematical Society from 1866 to 1892. He was Treasurer of the Society for 8 years from 1872 to 1880 and President from 1880 to 1882. He was awarded the De Morgan Medal by the Society in 1896.
The greatest honour given to Roberts was his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1878.

Irish guitar legend Bernie Tormé has just announced that he's mounting his third consecutive campaign to release new music (Dublin Cowboy three cd package) via the PledgeMusic platform. (http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/bernietorme2017)
Dublin Cowboy is an ambitious three CD set that includes an electric studio album, an acoustic album, and a live set - an big bargain in light of the fact that Bernie's first two pledge music projects were such complete successes for both the fans and the man.
As most know, Tormé made his bones over the years as an electrifying guitarist in the classic Gillan lineups, and with his famed tour of duty with Ozzy Osbourne in the immediate and tragic aftermath of Randy Rhoads death, as well as his own very successful solo career and the band, Tormé.
"I'm so psyched to be doing my third crowd-funded album on Pledgemusic, and in celebration of number three it's also a triple album. Triple offender! Titled 'Dublin Cowboy' - because that's what I am, its going to be a studio album, acoustic album, and a live album altogether in a dinky little slip-box. It's a totally new experience for me, and that's the best thing about it! It'll be released in March 2017, and we'll be rocking it live throughout the UK in April 2017. Can't wait!" ~ Bernie Tormé

http://metaltalk.net/columns/20107233.php - Torme Interview
Bernie Tormé - Biography
Guitar legend, blues rock psychedelic shredmeister, glam punk sleaze rock frontman: Bernie Tormé has enjoyed a long and remarkable career. Hit records, world tours and international acclaim came as lead guitarist in Gillan. Bernie stepped in for Ozzy Osbourne in the aftermath of guitar legend Randy Rhoads' tragic death before going on to front Electric Gypsies and Tormé. Teaming up with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Iron Maiden's drummer Clive Burr he formed Desperado and later reunited with ex-Gillan colleague, John McCoy and drummer Robin Guy in Guy McCoy Tormé (GMT). More recently, Bernie Tormé has been touring with Chris Heilmann (bass) and Ian Harris (drums) releasing two critically-acclaimed solo albums,'Flowers & Dirt' (2014) and 'Blackheart' (2015). Both were crowdfunded, connecting Bernie directly with his fans.
Bernie: "In the past you were pretty distant and separated from your fans with a record label in between. Making these albums with pledge campaigns has been a great experience. I like having the connection with fans and getting the feedback direct on making an album."
His love of performing is still strong: "I feel very lucky, very blessed, to be able to still perform live and as long as I can keep doing it I will!"
It has been said of Irish guitarist Bernie Tormé that he plays his Stratocaster through a Marshall as though he knew them in a previous life. Dublin-born Bernie learned his trade from local heroes such as Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Eric Bell before moving to London in 74, where he initially played with heavy pub rockers Scrapyard, and then formed the Bernie Tormé Band in 76. The BTB toured with Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats and Billy Idol's Generation X among many others.
In early 79 Bernie joined ex Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan's band Gillan, and was crucial to the band's success as guitar hero foil to Ian's soaring vocals. While a member of Gillan he wrote and played on four top ten albums and many hit singles, including Gillan's biggest selling singles, 'New Orleans' and 'Trouble'.
After his stint with Gillan, Bernie joined Ozzy Osbourne on the Diary Of A Madman tour in the US, standing in for the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads who had been tragically killed in an air crash just days beforehand. Madison Square Garden was among the gigs that Bernie played with Ozzy: A young Zakk Wylde who was present in the audience has been quoted in interviews as saying 'Bernie rocked'.
Bernie's first solo album 'Turn Out The Lights' was released in the UK, Europe and Japan in 1982 shortly after his return from Ozzy's US tour. He continued playing gigs in the UK and Europe through the remainder of 82 and 83, when his second solo album 'Electric Gypsies' was released, the album's title being drawn from the name of his three-piece touring band.
Bernie also found time during this period to tour Europe and record with legendary keyboard player Vincent Crane (ex-The Crazy World of Arthur Brown) as a member of psychedelic doom rockers Atomic Rooster.
In the mid 80's Bernie worked with ex-Girl and LA Guns front man Phil Lewis in Tormé. The band released four albums, including the cult classic 'Back to Babylon' which, like the 'Electric Gypsies' album, made waves in Japan. Following Phil Lewis's departure, Bernie teamed up with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Iron Maiden's drummer Clive Burr to form Desperado, writing with Snider and recording the album 'Ace'. Bernie then recorded three albums with Guy McCoy Torme (GMT) featuring bassist man mountain John McCoy (also ex Gillan), and drummer Robin Guy. Bernie. During this period Bernie also worked with German band 'Silver', playing lead guitar on three albums.
In 2013 Bernie started playing solo gigs again returning, once more, to his favoured format of the three piece line-up. 2014 saw the release of the critically acclaimed 'Flowers & Dirt' double album and a UK tour, followed by 'Blackheart' in 2015 and a further successful UK tour.
Bernie Torme has recorded over 24 albums in his career to date as a solo artist or band member.

In Which Communism Was Just A Red Herring
What You Need To Do
by ALMIE ROSE
Have you ever thrown a party and then realized that you didn't know what to do? Let the cast of Clue be your guide.
What you need to do is to make your guests comfortable. You want to introduce them to each other and make them feel at ease. Point out things they have in common. For example, "Mrs. White, this is Wadsworth; Wadsworth, meet Mrs. White. You both are from New England and are victims of blackmail." Things like that.
What you need to do is decorate your party appropriately. Remove all clutter, trash, dead bodies, and so forth, so that your guests feel they are at a hospitable place and not your messy house. Pick a theme. If your theme is the 1960s, maybe put up a Kennedy poster and leave out your records. If your theme is dead animals in the woods, then perhaps animal heads on your wall are a good idea after all. But make sure that your guests know the theme. Clearly someone thought this was a "maids and butlers" party. How embarrassing!
What you need to do is accessorize, girlfriend! Jewelry, manicures, weapons; they all add that little touch that helps people remember you. "Oh, I remember Sally from Abernathy's party. She was the girl with the black hair and the noose!" And so forth.
What you need to do is not shoot the messenger.
What you need to do is have a list of prepared party-appropriate conversation starters. Politics, sex, and religion are not good things to discuss at a dinner party. Stick to topics like the weather, fashion, monkeys' brains, music, and other such pleasant topics.
What you need to do is control your temper. A guest may aggravate you. Perhaps they root against your favorite sports team or have fucked your wife. This does not give you permission to resort to violence. Kindly excuse yourself and take a minute to compose yourself. Have some brandy. It isn't poisoned. That we know of. If you must go home, thank your host, and leave quietly.
What you need to do is be discreet with about your indiscretions. Perhaps you've been in this situation: you're at a party, you and a lovely gentleman/woman catch eyes, you flirt, you talk, you fuck in the bathroom, you share stories about your childhoods - hold on there, professor! Before you fuck in the bathroom stop to yourself and try not fucking in the bathroom. Put yourself in the hosts' place. What if you were the host and someone had fucked in your bathroom?
Here's what you need to do: you need to keep frisky party activies to ABOVE CLOTHES ONLY. You may excuse yourselves to fool around in one of your respective cars. If your partner does not have a car, and you live in Los Angeles, that shit is most unacceptable you should dump his ass forthwith.
What you need to do is work on your "The police are here" face. The police might come if you're playing music too loudly, or if there are reports of dead people in your house. When they show up to answer the door, you need to make sure you have an innocent face on. Then again, why should the police come? Nobody's called them.

Bellwether v. Bizzyblog: Division Over Free Speech For Judges And The Brinkman Swipe
[UPDATE: 9:50 pm EDT 7/23/07 -- Weapons of Mass Discussion has been following the Ruehlman-Brinkman blowup. The Bellwether was remiss in not linking earlier, and hopefully makes amends. The blog has the coolest name in the Ohiosphere, and keeps a sharp eye on the treacherous shoals of politics and public affairs. WMD is correct that Brinkman-Ruehlman is not a one news cycle potboiler. It seems to have legs.]
The debate is joined over free speech for judicial officers in Ohio, and grows out of Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman's censure from the bench last week of conservative Republican Ohio State Rep. Tom Brinkman.
The Bellwether finds itself in the camp of Justice Scalia, who clearly favors free speech for judges on matters of legal import. Ruehlman, a GOPer as is Brinkman, did not mince his words. He called Brinkman a "criminal" for allegedly changing signatures on referendum petitions that had been circulated to repeal a Cincinnati law promising equal rights to gays and lesbians. Brinkman was not charged with a crime, although the judge said his conduct was reprehensible. The links above cover all that territory.
Bizzyblog has taken the position that it is unethical for judges to have strong opinions, and cites enough canon-law to fill the cavernous cargo bay of an Air Force C-17. He marshalls his contention that judges should not disparage the people who appear in their courtrooms, or have matters pending, and that judges should be impartial, or somehow thoroughly above all frays -- though those are not his words. But they certainly appear to convey Bizzyblog's intent.
Over here at the Bellwether, the canons are not interpreted quite so tautly, and they are seen as a bit archaic, more akin to the slender freight bays of the C-47's that hauled materiel in World War II. The guiding principle -- at least in this instance about judicial freedom of expression -- comes from Justice Scalia, a man of opinion on and off the bench, a man with a reputation as garrulous and of being in accord with the political right as it exists in the United States.
Scalia, in 2002, wrote the opinion that squelched state attempts to limit what judges could say while they campaigned for office. Ethics rules had them censored, and Scalia led the Supreme Court majority that loosened those rules in a case originating from Minnesota. He said candidates for judge can have views on the law, and can speak publicly about what those views are. It is not a far jump from that to Ruehlman, who said the law governing elections in Ohio had been abused by Brinkman. Here's Scalia:
"Indeed, even if it were possible to select judges who did not have preconceived views on legal issues, it would hardly be desirable to do so. 'Proof that a Justices mind at the time he joined the Court was a complete tabula rosa in the area of constitutional adjudication would be evidence of a lack of qualification, not lack of bias.' (citing Justice Rehnquist) The Minnesota Constitution positively forbids the selection to courts of general jurisdiction of judges who are impartial in the sense of having no views on the law. And since avoiding judicial preconceptions on legal issues is neither possible or desirable, pretending otherwise by attempting to preserve the 'appearance' of that type of impartiality can hardly be a compelling state interest either."
There is more on this: Judges who are biased can be removed from cases, either by the parties in court complaining, the jurists' own recognition that they cannot be fair, or action of the Ohio Supreme Court, which has the power to step in and oust a judge whose mouth was out of order. So far, none of the parties with the election law case before Ruehlman have asked him to recuse himself.
A final note: Bizzyblog and I part ways on whether Judge Ruehlman was within his rights. But there won't be any name calling or eye-gouging or spitting, which all to often goes hand-in-hand with blog posts that take different sides on matters of public discourse. Perhaps I am more libertarian on matters of free speech for elected officials; perhaps he is more concerned about the issue of fairness to someone who is severely criticized by a high-ranking public official.
10 comments:
Bill, my man, you still haven't addressed the FACT that a grand jury failed to indict Brinkman on the very charges which the Judge made his statements. If the judge wants to spout off, I strongly believe he should have chosen Deters as his target... The judge may very well have engaged in libel.ReplyDelete
Matt --ReplyDelete
Well, I don't know about libel -- the test there is reckless disregard for the truth.
However, opinion is protected completely. So if Judge Ruehlman was expressing an opinion about a public official, he's probably in the clear.
Yes, the grand jury failed to return a true bill. Rep. Brinkman was not charged with a crime. And that is precisely what Judge Ruehlman was complaining about. I think he was entirely within his rights to air his opinion. I may have been surprised by what he said, and where he said it, but I cannot say that he doesn't have a right to say what he said. So I'm sticking up for Ruehlman on this.
Maybe I have free speech blinders, Matt. By the way, I'm not joyous over the episode.
I think what everyone misses is that the case isn't over. The two women haven't been sentenced, and Ruehlman's outburst has to be seen as helping them, i.e., affecting part of the outcome of the case. If Ruehlman was even within his rights to say what he said (I don't think he was, based on the canons), he should not have done it until the sentencing was established in court.ReplyDelete
I haven't kept my eyes glued to the courts over the years, but this is the first time I've heard a directed rant like this delivered by a judge in a real live case. Ruehlman's hits are of a piece with Judge Judy and their ilk.
Bill, your examples on Scalia are off the bench. In fact, if the canons still hold (sometimes I wonder), judges are not allowed to talk about specific cases during political campaigns, and are quite constrained in what they can and can't say about specific decided cases in other venues. But Ruehlman has carte blanche to rip an unindicted defendant in a live case? That just doesn't add up. I don't think this is about partiality as much as it is temperament.
Dear Bizzyblog (Tom):ReplyDelete
Continuing our dialogue.
If Judge Ruehlman were intemperate in calling Rep. Brinkman a criminal, the system has safeguards in place to deal with that.
In fact, the anti-gun lobby attempted to have him removed from the case involving a challenge of the 1920s-era law that forbid concealed carry law in Ohio. Ruehlman struck down the law, thus granting citizens their constitutional right to bear arms. The challenge contending he was biased against the anti-gun lobby was rejected in the appeals court.
In re: Brinkman: Ruehlman obviously spoke as he accepted the pleas of two people who obtained signatures on the Cincinnati gay rights ordinance repeal petition. The events that lead up to those pleas had been described to him in detail. And he has to decide on a punishment at a later date. He has ordered a pre-sentence investigation.
Ruehlman's analysis is that the two gatherers were minions, and that the entity they worked within (the petition drive organization) was controlled by someone else, someone whom he believes has not been brought to account.
That kind of analysis happens every day at the courthouse in criminal cases. For example: Small time drug peddlers are brought to justice, but the judges often remark that the big guys running the cartels somehow avoid arrest, continue to rake in large amounts of cash, and appear immune because they are in Colombia or some such place.
Judges are not lumps on the bench. They are allowed to speak. and in this case Judge Ruehlman weighed in by saying State Rep. Tom Brinkman's misconduct looked to him like a violation of the law, but that State Rep. Tom Brinkman avoided a day in court. Ruehlman has brought that to bear on his analysis of the case, which is his duty as he prepares to render a final judgment.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on this, Bill, but I believe a judge complaining that the big fish, whose cases aren't before the court at the moment, aren't getting caught is a long way from complaining that someone specific who was considered for indictment wasn't.ReplyDelete
Dear Bizzyblog (Tom) --ReplyDelete
OK, my friend. We'll disagree on this one.
Now we have to look for something we both can agree on. The best of this, in my view, is that we managed to stake out different positions, came to them honestly, and did not resort to throwing pies, or worse.
Maybe we can offer symposiums on Internet debate? You are good with a riposte, and can pitch one hell of an intellectual fastball. I would invite Jill to moderate. Perhaps we can have an Ohiosphere version of the McLaughlin Group, and set aside the fourth chair each week for a guest. Could this be done on a blog?
"Could this be done on a blog?"ReplyDelete
It most defintely can...in fact that sort of thing is exactly what the blogosphere does best...
I think a podcast of that sort of thing would be real interesting too, now that you mention it...
Matt --ReplyDelete
You know much more about the techno etc. than I, and I'm glad you jumped in there to point out the possibilities.
Podcast didn't even slip into my consciousness until you brought it up. And you would be good in one of the chairs, or moderating, because you already are doing something like that. I suppose some of us ought to put our heads together. They have meet the bloggers in Cleveland area. Downstate, we could have beat the bloggers, where we chew up what the 'sphere is saying, or what is being said in the sphere, or not being said.
Good thoughts, folks. I sent Bill a separate e-mail, which I will forward to Matt.ReplyDelete
Another internet "venture" that I am engaged in also is my internet radio station, so I have all of the equipment neccessary to put a podcast (or a live internet radio show!) together... I think the concept has real merit.ReplyDelete

A survey done by Glamour magazine reported that 98% of brides recommend hiring a videographer for your wedding. Additionally, videography ranked as one of the most important investments that a bride and groom could make into their wedding preparations.
You need to make sure your Los Angeles Wedding Videography team has enough experience to get the job done right. Uncle Art may have a nice video camera, but that doesn't mean he can deliver a video with professional elements, style, and quality.
Since investing into your wedding video is so important, you might as well make sure that it turns out as amazing as possible! You don't want your wedding video to seem like a documentary or news broadcast. It should have a style that is more like a movie, with music. It should tell the story of your wedding day with emotion. Why not edit out the sound of that plane? They say movies are made in the editing booth, and we say great wedding videos are made there as well.
Notice we said "Team". Your wedding, regardless of how many people are attending, is too big and important to be covered by just one videographer. You need at least two, and sometimes three videographers to capture every moment. You need eyes, or lenses rather, on the bride and groom, and eyes on the people who are watching the bride and groom. This can capture the full experience of the wedding without leaving out the most important parts.
Have you ever been to the set of a major motion picture studio's production? There are lights, lights, and more lights. Well, if you had that much lighting equipment at your wedding ceremony, it would ruin the romantic ambiance and make it very hot as well. That's why you need to make sure your Los Angeles Wedding Videographer uses special video equipment like Low Light Lenses. Only the most elite video teams will know that low-light lenses are the key to quietly capturing every moment.
It's not enough to have just flawless video – you need fantastic audio quality as well. The last thing you want is to have a beautiful picture of your wedding, only to have static or garbled sound quality when the vows are being spoken. You want every laugh, every gasp, every word in the Best Man's speech to be heard with precise clarity. So make sure that your Los Angeles Wedding Videography team has the right video and audio equipment.
It's important to have the right options you need from your wedding film producer. Make sure your Los Angeles Wedding Videography vendor offers Full Service Wedding Video Packages, Wedding Highlights, and the right DVD and digital format delivery options. You should also consider other wedding services such as A Thematic Wedding Movie Poster, a supplementary "love story" and/or "engagement video", aerial videography options, for that wow factor of the bird's eye view, and Wedding Website options, to host your video online so your guests can see it as well, if desired. The best wedding videographers will offer all of these options so you can choose any or all of these to make your perfect wedding video.
How long should you have to wait before you get to see your video? A slow team will make you wait several weeks or months. The fastest teams can have a video done by the end of the wedding reception. For best results, you should look for a team that can have your video ready to preview by the time you get back from your honeymoon.

Housing Options
There are four types of housing at Beloit College. As a first year student, you will be placed in a traditional residence hall. As early as the second semester, you will have opportunities to choose other options. You can review each section to learn about each residence hall.
You can view the campus map and select student life buildings to get more housing option details, or browse the links below to find housing based on the different types available.
- Traditional residence halls—Traditional residence halls offer the most common type of housing at Beloit College. The majority of first-year and sophomore students live in this type of residence hall.
- Upper-class residence halls—Upper-class residence halls are reserved primarily for juniors and seniors, but the occasional sophomore will be able to select a room in an upper-class residence hall.
- Special interest housing—Special interest housing is housing for people with similar interests. Special-interest houses relate to language programs or campus clubs.
- Fraternities and Sororities—Beloit College currently has three national fraternities, a local sorority, and two national sororities. This housing is open to individuals who have successfully met the requirements for joining a Greek organization.

This week we have been blessed with new tracks for Rock Band, according to Major Nelson's blog. This is in addition to last week's budget-priced releases that will be hitting the PlayStation Store this Thursday... and we're still hoping PlayStation 3 fans get the lower price as well. What new songs are available?
- "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd (original)
- "Hard To Handle" as made famous by The Black Crowes (cover)
- "Limelight" as made famous by Rush (cover)
Boo for only one out of three being the original, but these are all good additions to the song list. I've been buying almost every track released, and I have to say that some of the note charts have been very fun, "My Iron Lung" being one of my favorites so far. The regularity and quality of the downloadable content for Rock Band has been impressive.

Yesterday's meeting resulted in a colorful photo shoot.
Me and Marie Von-d Bacelar gathered with the model Carolina Batista to put up a grunge photo session.
Dark smoky eyes, ripped dark glass tights, and pink tone hair, were the main details that gave these photos such characteristic look.
First of all, Carolina had to lay on the floor so me and Marie could dye her hair in different shades of pink, first a light one, and then a darker one. After getting her hair dyed out, the next step was the make up. A small smoky shade on the edge of eye over a lighter shade of gray, and followed by black eyeliner with black lipstick made the entire outfit more outstanding. The clothing was (obviously) what gave this session a theme, ripped top a dark glass tights, with my ol' black Doc Martens, and nothing else.
More than 200 pictures from me and Marie were accomplished and so the photo shoot was beautifully made.

One issue is that more than a quarter of BP's fleet runs on Clipper Windpower's troubled Liberty 2.5MW turbines, which have a record of gearbox failures. Moreover, four of BP's plants — totalling 585MW — are also merchant projects, which face unfavourable market conditions.
The multinational's US wind assets are estimated to be worth just over $2 billion — or potentially up to $2.9 billion — said Bloomberg New Energy Finance. BP outright owns 1.6GW of the 2.6GW in which it has interests. America represents the lion's share of BP's wind business.
BP said it has invested $7.6billion in alternative energy, with much of this going to wind. One major aspect of its wind strategy was a supply deal with Clipper. In July 2006, shortly after entering the US wind market, BP formed a strategic alliance with Clipper for up to 4.25GW of turbines over five years. The oil company's first American wind farm came online in 2007. In 2008, BP agreed to pay Clipper $31.9 million for a 50% share in the 5GW Titan development in South Dakota — even though little transmission capacity was nearby. Only 25MW was built, and the project has effectively been cancelled. BP refused to say whether Titan has been included in its pipeline.
BP's 680MW of installed Liberty turbines comprises more than one third all of deployed Clipper turbines. The Liberty's operations and maintenance (O&M) costs have been a heated issue, especially with the winding down of Clipper's manufacturing by current owner Platinum Equity. BP's seven Clipper projects may fetch a lower price than those with GE, Vestas, Nordex or Mitsubishi machines. More worryingly, according to a former Clipper executive, when United Technologies Corp. did due diligence before buying Clipper in 2010, it estimated a massive 25% lifetime failure rate for Liberty gearboxes.
According to insiders, repair of Clipper's "integrated" gearbox can cost twice as much as another model. The round trip cost of a fix — including cranes and labour — can be as much as $700,000. If the core is damaged and a replacement needed, the price might reach an astonishing $900,000. "I expect they're going to bleed profusely because of the Clippers," said one source. BP would not comment on the gearbox estimates.
Its newest Clipper project started operating in February 2012, long after Liberty's problems emerged. But BP confirmed it has settled with Clipper regarding O&M and warranties. "Since the middle of February, BP has been transitioning to a "self-perform" model for [O&M] services for most of its sites with Clipper turbines," said BP spokesman Hartwig. The terms are confidential.
The timing of BP's sale of operating assets is good enough, said Ed Zaelke, co-chair of law firm Akin Gump's global project-finance practice. Projects with secure long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) are increasingly seen as a safe investment. BP is also the operational owner of most of its projects. The merchant plants are all in Texas, a healthy market for power demand. But to be as saleable as plants with conventional PPAs, they must have "synthetic" PPAs with a hedge provider, who shoulders the risk of power prices dropping but, in return, may take an equity stake. It is not clear that they do.
Purchasers of BP's operating assets might be banks or pension funds, but only a strategic player — such as a major utility — would also buy the undeveloped assets. An overseas suitor is a "distinct possibility" if they can monetise the production tax credit (PTC), said Zaelke.
As the moment, it appears the questions outweigh the answers. Crucial for buyers of BP's pipeline is whether construction can begin before the PTC expires in December. BP describes the projects as "nearly shovel ready" but refused to say how many could make the deadline.

People who ordered this item also ordered:
These racks fit great on my sentra! Went on in no time and so far seem extrememly sturdy. I have a thule cargo carrier mounted on top and the extra storage space is great!
Easy to install and feels secure.
Luckily I had a friend help me put it on. The instructions were a little tough to understand, but once everything was in place, it fits perfect. The fit is pretty exact, which makes me think I can't use it on my next vehichle if I get a 4Runner or something.
The racks came in a timely fashion and functioned as claimed. No complaints at all. My first experience with Thule racks that did not fit a rain gutter or factory racks. I was skeptical but they worked well. Recommended.
Rubber feet and door clamps protected paint and provided solid attachment to roof just above front and rear doors

"Joe McCarthy used the force of government to ruin the lives of communist dupes in Hollywood and elsewhere. Finally, cooler heads prevailed and the witch hunts came to an end."
This statement is totally untrue and shows the author is ignorant of the history of the era.
Joe McCarthy was a member of and later Chairman of the Senate Committee on Investigations. In his role he investigated Communist infiltration of the government. Communist infiltration of the government was widespread at the time. There were many Communist spy rings within the government working for the Soviet Union. Alger Hiss was just one example. The people Senator McCarthy investigated were later proved to have been Communists or Communist sympathizers. He often backed off investigations when asked. Senator McCarthy had information about the Communist activities of Robert Oppenheimer but did not make them public at the request of President Eisenhower. McCarthy was extremely popular in his day among the American people. The media however continually attacked him.
Those Communists mounted a campaign against Senator McCarthy. They used his homosexual staffer Roy Cohn's attempt to get special treatment for his gay lover David Schine from the Army as a reason to stage what became known as the Army McCarthy hearings. McCarthy was then attacked on TV and by others in government. He was censored by the Senate. The Democrats regained the Senate in 1954 and McCarthy was reduced to a minority member with no influence.
The term McCarthyism was invented by a communist agent within the Truman Administration. It was used to falsely claim McCarthy was untruthful.
Bottom Line:
Senator McCarthy never had anything to do with Hollywood. His entire investigation was focused on and limited to people in government service who were communists. And later records once the Soviet Union imploded showed both that he was right on there being a lot of communists in the government, and that they were actively and knowingly working against the interests of the United States.
In fact, his investigations were the polar opposite of Obama's 'witch hunt.' Obama wants to destroy people who are *not* in government. To Obama, government is sacred, second only to himself in importance.

Exactly what witch hunt are you referring to? You mean all those innocent folks revealed in the Venona Tapes? Those poor folks forced into working second jobs to get a paycheck from the GRU?
Why who could object to that? Or those that assisted them like the Rosenbergs.

By Angela Woodward
When Ohio University students return to the Ping Center next fall, they will be welcomed back with a new weight space that more than doubles the square footage currently available.
According to Tasha Westfall, interim assistant director of the Ping Center, renovations to the recreation center are scheduled to begin in early June with the work completed in time for fall semester.
Renovation plans include converting the existing first-floor lounge at the Ping Center to a new state-of-the-art weight space that will house all new weight equipment, including more than 300 pieces that are being purchased as part of the project. The centerpiece of this new space will be a 14-station cable crossover system. The new dumbbells recently added to the center's existing weight room will be moved to the new weight area. In addition, flooring in the area will be replaced, and new mirrors will be installed.
The new weight space will connect to Ping Center's existing weight room, which will continue to have squat racks, platforms and bumper plates while also providing open space to support functional fitness activities.
The renovation project is being funded by a one-time allocation from Ohio University's General Fee Committee as well as Campus Recreation, part of OHIO's Division of Student Affairs that operates the Ping Center as well as other facilities and programs on the Athens Campus. The funding from the General Fee Committee will provide the new equipment being purchased for the renovations while Campus Recreation is funding the remainder of the project, such as the flooring, mirrors and other improvements.
According to Westfall, research conducted over the past year showed a need for more weight space at the Ping Center.
"We want to make that accommodation but also be able to increase offerings as well," Westfall said. "Having additional equipment and open space in the existing weight space will allow students to do exercises that they currently do not have the room or equipment for."
Westfall said the schedule for this renovation project has been designed to allow the center's weight area to be open as much as possible while work is being performed.
"This renovation will not only assist Ping Center patrons with their fitness plans, but it will also set the tone for the standard that Campus Recreation is trying to meet – to provide what patrons need currently and to plan for future demand as well," said Westfall.
Ohio University's Ping Center will maintain the following hours during the summer*:
Sunday, May 4, to Sunday, May 11 – Closed
Monday, May 12, to Friday, May 23 – Noon to 9 p.m.
Saturday, May 24, to Monday, May 26 – Noon to 6 p.m.
Tuesday, May 27, to Thursday, July 3 – Noon to 9 p.m.
Friday, July 4, to Saturday, July 5 – Closed
Sunday, July 6, to Friday, Aug. 15 – Noon to 9 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 16, to Friday, Aug. 22 – Closed
Saturday, Aug. 23, to Sunday, Aug. 24 – 3 to 10 p.m.
* This is a tentative calendar; times and dates are subject to change. All activity areas close 15 minutes prior to closing time.
