Far from any paved roads, Kurt Stark surveys a recently worked stand of conifers on his land. The pungent odor of upturned earth thickens the air; sunlight dapples the forest floor, littered with small branches and marred with tracks Stark made dragging felled trees out of the area.
Stark owns 264 wooded acres at the edge of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument near Pilot Rock. He's managing his land for "saw logs" — straight, knot-free, large-diameter trees — but they won't be harvest-ready for another 10, 15 or even 20 years.
Stark, 58, has been contemplating trees' futures for nearly three decades. He began horse-logging in the mid-1980s and worked for local forester Marty Main, who introduced him to thinning and controlled burning. He bought his acreage in 1989 and continued learning how to restore and manage it through a combination of Oregon State University Extension courses, tips collected from old-timers and his own mistakes.
Stark points out a multiple-aged stand of white fir and incense cedar he worked three years ago. The stand is "clean" — good spacing between trees, a healthy layer of leaf litter on the ground. There's no sign of logging tracks.
"The cedars have good leader growth," Stark says, pointing to the tops of the conifers. He estimates his trees add 500 board feet of new growth per acre every year.
"If I can keep my harvest below that number, I'm doing the sustained-yield thing," he says.
Over the years, he's tackled one small area at a time, varying his approach according to slope, soil quality, exposure and species composition. By thinning crowded stands, removing the lower "ladder" limbs of bigger trees and some of the woody debris on the forest floor, Stark hopes to both encourage the growth of healthy trees and reduce the risk of fires.
"I hope that if a fire does come through, it burns hot, fast and low," Stark says.
He removes trees according to one or more of "five Ds" — diseased, dying, dead, dense or damaged — although he does leave some snags for wildlife habitat.
"The stuff I'm taking out will never be saw logs," he says. "Even the bigger ones have some sort of defect." A Douglas fir with a dogleg, pines weakened by beetles and oaks infested with mistletoe all make his hit list.
He replants in some areas — starting sugar pines from seed is his current pet project — but mostly he manipulates growth by opening areas up for "reprod," or reproduction. Young pines and cedars need sunny clearings to thrive, and even shade-tolerant species, such as white fir, can't reach their potential if there's too much competition for water and nutrients.
"Some people would say, 'That's horrible; there's too much light!' " Stark says of his management strategy. "But this isn't the coast; it's drier and hotter."
Stark uses a farm tractor outfitted with a winch to take down trees and move them around. He leaves plenty of smaller material on the ground, particularly pine and fir needles, which return nutrients to the soil as they break down. After limbing the felled trees, he piles the slash and burns it on site.
"I used to hand-pile," Stark says. "It was fine when I was a pup."
When he was younger, Stark logged with horses, but that practice also proved too labor-intensive. Even now, harvesting trees is a slow, painstaking process but worthwhile if Stark can minimize damage to the next generation of harvestable trees.
"It's not a high-production deal," says Stark, who works his acreage alone. "I've been told I work too hard for not enough money."
Firewood is his bread and butter. A firewood processor stands in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by raw logs and split wood. In just a few minutes, the machine can consume a whole log, chop it into rounds and split those into even chunks ready for the woodstove. Earlier this year, the processor tried to eat Stark's pinkie finger, too. He assumed he'd be back in the woods after a few stitches.
"The doc said, 'Mr. Stark, how would you like your finger — in a hot-dog bun? I'm sending you up to Portland.' "
Stark's other wood-eating machine is a portable Wood-Mizer sawmill that can handle logs up to 21 feet long and 36 inches in diameter. He sells milled lumber to individuals with particular projects in mind but estimates his production at less than 10,000 board feet per year.
"I could make the saw logs my priority, but that would be defeating my purpose."
Stark's land boasts a diversity of tree species: Douglas fir, white fir, Ponderosa pine and incense cedar, as well as hardwoods such as black oak, white oak and Pacific madrone. The topography ranges from shady, spring-fed slopes to drier, thin-soiled, natural "benches." Wildlife abounds. People are a rarer sighting, though Stark says that since the Monument's designation in 2000, closures of Bureau of Land Management roads have redirected traffic to the one dirt-and-gravel road bordering his land.
Stark is managing his land for the long term, yet with no heir apparent to take on his legacy.
"I wanted to create this habitat where people could keep on logging it," he says. He believes that without human intervention, his land — and the federal land that surrounds him — will burn. But he also believes that owners of small woodlands can play an important role in reducing that risk and restoring forests to health.
"We've had such an influence on this land," he says. "We need to clean up our room. If we don't, Mother Nature's going to do it for us."

The Semiconductor Industry Has Lost a Hero
By Jonathan Davis, president, Semiconductor Business, SEMI
I was stunned and saddened at the news of Steve Appleton's untimely passing. Word spread quickly of his tragic accident, and many recounted their experiences with the charismatic leader of Micron Technology, the last U.S. DRAM maker.
Many that worked with him can tell of his huge presence, character and influence. I cannot say that I knew him well. I only had a few direct encounters with him over the years. But, they were memorable. And even then, long before his iconic legend was finally etched in semiconductor history by tragic accident, several of us here at SEMI knew from brief contact — that we had been in the presence of a giant — a hero.
Steve was a friend of SEMI. He served as an occasional speaker at SEMI events. As the dynamic and energetic Micron chief, his qualities epitomized the warrior spirit of the U.S. memory chip maker. Who else could have been so convincing and effective as a leader in the epic (and I might say, ongoing) clash of titans in the hyper-competitive memory chip business.
We might take comfort in his own words to the effect that he would rather pass having lived life to its fullest than anything less. Yet, it would be inappropriate to minimize the heartbreaking loss that must be felt by his family, friends and colleagues by simply concluding that he died as lived — with excitement, passion and fierce competitiveness. While, those are surely true and proven facts, I cannot imagine that they diminish the bereavement of those that loved him most. To them, we send our deepest sympathies.
As I try to take in this tragedy, I think of the couple passing moments in which Steve Appleton touched my life.
I vividly remember the SEMICON West over seven years ago, when we introduced a new format of visionary keynotes to be held in the Moscone Center Esplanade Hall. All were excited that Steve Appleton agreed to be the keynoter. Then, with days to go, we were horrified to hear that his jet plane crashed while filming a sequence to be used in his SEMICON presentation.
We were confused and desperate to learn of his fate. We were uncertain of how to respond with precious little time before the big exposition and conference. Though offered free of charge, we required registration for the keynote. The event was oversubscribed several times over. In addition to our concerns for Mr. Appleton — we had the makings of an event crisis.
He had been hospitalized, with broken bones, battered organs and a laceration to his head. I hate to admit it, but we began to attack the rolodex to determine who we could get on very late notice to fill the high-visibility keynote spot.
Then, a call from the Micron folks — just confirming Mr. Appleton's hotel and inquiring if it would be an inconvenience to arrange transportation for the short couple block distance from the hotel to the conference hall.
"What?! Really? He's coming?"
"But… wasn't he in the hospital?"
"Yes. At the moment."
"But… We heard it was a terrible accident. Isn't he badly injured?"
"But, can he sustain the rigors of travel and the speaking engagement?"
"Steve likes to keep his commitments."
And sure enough, Steve and the Micron communications person arrived as planned at the San Francisco Marriott hotel on the appointed morning. He approached with a stiffness and slow mechanical movement suggestive of a struggling robot. A large bruise shadowed his forehead. While obviously belabored in movement, his energy beamed. His enthusiasm was unrestrained.
I realized just how much pain he was in as he winced and strained to enter the limousine. It actually took a few tries to get a path of entry that he could manage. It was then that I realized that underneath his shirt and jacket he was bound in a rigid plastic brace the length of his torso.
We got there early and killed time in the green room for an hour before his talk. We traded stories about motorcycle riding and other thrill-seeking pursuits. He was cool. He was so kind, accessible and humble. Once show time came, he slowly mounted the stage to thunderous ovation. On that day, my understanding of the concepts of leadership, commitment and dedication were all dramatically recalibrated.
In 2006, he returned to again keynote SEMICON West and, a couple years later agreed to speak at the SEMI International Trade Partners Conference (ITPC) — our premier executive conference. At the ITPC conference break before he was to speak, he produced a Flip video and asked some of us to make impromptu comments. He then instantly imbedded the quirky clips in his subsequent presentation to demonstrate the potential of an inexpensive simple consumer video camera with a simple interface. He had fun with us and involved us to show the human side of the technology that he was championing.
Recently, Steve was slated to keynote the upcoming 2012 edition of the ITPC. Just last week, he was communicating with SEMI programs manager Marite Pantangco on the schedule and arrangements. He communicated openly with a PR manager (me several years ago) and a program manager. He was just that kind of person. I'm sure he had a healthy ego. But he interacted with ordinary people with impressive grace and dignity.
Those are some of my impressions of a hero. I know that others at SEMI and many of you can amplify those a hundred fold.
His passing leaves a huge hole in the industry.
I guess I just want to say — to those that loved him — I am so sorry for your loss. And to those of us left to carry on in this challenging semiconductor industry: a hero has fallen, a void has been created.
In an industry replete with iconic figures, Steve Appleton occupies a distinct and permanent place. He's the real deal. They don't get much better. And it's all the more reason to take the passion and dedication that he so perfectly exemplified — pick it up and carry on. Let's take some of the gift that Steve gave us — try to live up to it… better it — and keep moving as if we had just a few precious moments to make a difference.
From what I could tell, he'd want that.

Matt Johnson returns with a retailer's thoughts about this year's ComicCon.
They really need to change the name. Seriously!
I look at the name San Diego Comic Con and I'm confused. Where are the comics? Or do they mean comedy, like a stand-up comic? Because if you thought this convention was about comics - in the sequential paneled art telling stories sense of the word – well, let me tell you brother, the joke is on you!
There was more movie and TV news and panels at this "comic" con than any SDCC I can remember. I heard it referred to as "the entertainment news event of the summer." What, really?
I guess the true owning of the comic industry by Hollywood is complete. If you are a dork that reads comics, you obviously need to be or should be watching all this other media and playing all these other video games and seeing all these other films, then reading your comics, right?
But what if we just wanted to have a COMIC con? Would anyone cover that? I guess that's the good that comes with the bad. My sixty some year old mom who NEVER took an interest in comic books in her life (even with her only son owning a shop that sells them) knows what San Diego ComicCon is. For that matter, she seems to know more about what is going on at it than I DO!! That scares me a little.
Why does she know this? Because there was either a news show she mistakenly watched covering it, TV Guide or Entertainment Weekly had a special edition about it or a show she likes features characters AT THE CONVENTION ITSELF! The idea of the comic con is something that has grown into an acceptable thing. Is this good?
When I was a kid, I never wore my Superman or Batman t-shirt to school. Well, what I should say is that I never wore it openly. I would wear it under another shirt. I was ostracized enough, thank you very much, I didn't need "comic dork" stamped on my forehead too.
Now, kids, the media, Hollywood have made comic and "nerdy" pop culture acceptable to participate in our society. I am okay with this, really. I am not someone who feels we need to hide our industry in a closet – obviously I'm okay with that as I opened the first coffee/comic book store in the world attempting to combine and make money off of this growing acceptance. But there comes a point when I question what good has it done "us" (and by "us" I mean the regular readers of comic books. The "us" who are the twenty or thirty year continuous, obsessive, lovers of this little nerd kingdom.)
Our industry isn't really in any better shape sales wise. We continue to lose shops and lose readers; are we really better off for our newfound acceptance in society? I don't know. Have we sold our soul for acceptance? I feel this way every year when I see the giant Nerd Aquarium that the San Diego Convention Center becomes has shoehorned in more people than ever and all I see are announcements about movies… and REALLLLLLLY have to hunt for the good COMIC BOOK news that was announced.
Some of the nuggets that peaked my interest:
IDW announced, officially, Darwyn Cooke's new Parker adaptation, Slayground, will be released in December! IDW will publish several more high end Artist Editions as well as a new Walter Simonson book called Ragnarok, starring "not Marvel's" Thor. They are also going to do an adaptation or Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
Dark Horse announced MUTE, by Duncan Jones and Glenn Fabry, as well as a new Terminator series by J. Michael Staczynski and Pete Woods! Archie released a "trailer" for what is already better than The Walking Dead, After-Life with Archie.
The big two, of course, had their same old, same old overshadowed by movie announcements. I like to call DC and Marvel's con announcements "what you will see in previews next week..." except one. Did you hear about Batman and Scooby Doo, together in one comic? … and DC offered retailers the best gift of the show, returnability on the first three issues of all the new Vertigo books as well as Mad and the all ages line of books. THAT kids, is awesome!!! My hat is off to DC for doing this. Seriously, this might be the best news of the con.
Okay, and finally. I will admit I did pay attention to two pieces of news that were NOT comic related. I am a big Sons of Anarchy fan – Hey, at least they have a comic book coming out!! – and did you read about the Chuck Palahniuk Fight Club sequel news? I only saw this on my boys Theouthousers.com – true journalists they be! This is a terrible, TERRIBLE, idea, but it is nice to see that not all comics are going to film. Some film is coming to comics too. Hmm, I guess in the end of this rant, maybe not everything is wrong, even if this is a TERRIBLE idea.

by Keb » Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:10 amI used to rock a GL shirt with my fro back in high school but no one really knew what GL was so I never caught some bullshit for wearing it.
by outsider » Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:22 amThe "COMIC" cons don't get any coverage beyond cosplay pics. I haven't been to Heroes in years, but I don't recall it getting any attention beyond group shots of cosplayers outside the convention center. I think the comics industry is just as much to blame - why not unveil your next big event at an unexpected venue that's primarily devoted to comics?
If there's money to be made via grassroots campaigns, DC & Marvel (the actual comics divisions) will venture that way while letting their moviemaking side stick to SDCC.
by Kat_Rocha » Tue Jul 23, 2013 11:49 amIt makes me sad that I don't pick up comics and Comic Con anymore. Last year it took us nearly 20min. walking the show floor before we saw something actually comic related. You are right, they should rename this a "media" show.
by Chesscub » Tue Jul 23, 2013 12:09 pmIt's part of the reason why I doubt I'll ever do the San Diego convention. Too much media, not enough comics. Baltimore's been pretty good but I'm hearing rumors about a media guest. I'm not happy that Boston added media guests.

I wrote about this in 2007 (let me try to find the post...) when profits as a share of GDP rose to the highest level in history. In March 2010, Slyvia Lim spoke about it in parliament[Link] when she argued that GDP growth must benefit Singaporeans. What is the selling point of a system for ordinary citizens when most GDP growth generated goes to profits of companies and ordinary citizens have to bear the brunt of cost increases resulting from the growth?
How did all this happen? In the past few decades, the govt had a policy of trying to keep wages way below productivity so that the per unit labor cost goes down. For a long time the Singapore workforce was ranked number 1[Link] and has been the key pillar of Singapore's competitiveness and success. However, the govt never got away from economy dependent on lower wages for growth and in the past few years seek to perpetuate this by importing cheaper labor from overseas. At the same time, they cut corporate taxes while raising regressive taxes such as GST. Our income inequality (measured by GINI) is now the highest in the developed world. The inequality is further compounded by govt policies that shift as much healthcare and retirement burden to ordinary citizens as possible. The Singapore govt share of healthcare cost is the lowest among all developed countries.
We are supposed to be a developed country but the quality of life of ordinary Singaporeans is nowhere near that of the citizens in other 1st world countries even as our per capita income make it look like most of us should be going to Europe for the school holidays. The GDP number has become quite meaningless to ordinary Singaporeans because their lives are not getting better. Most of it goes to profits of corporations, owned by a handful of shareholders. Increasingly, it is no longer sufficient for ordinary Singaporeans to try to work hard to overcome their economic situation...and for small unfortunate number that forms the ultra-underclass in Singapore, they are caught in a poverty trap that they can never get out of.
World country, but not First World wages? [Link]
By Sue-Ann Chia, Senior Political Correspondent
THE recession is over but bosses may not be heaving a sigh of relief. A new challenge is looming: rising wage bills.
From June, bosses will no longer enjoy any wage subsidy from the Jobs Credit scheme.
From July, they will have to fork out a higher levy for foreign workers, or pay more to hire local workers as the inflow of foreigners starts to slow.
From September, they will have to put in a higher contribution to their workers' Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts.
And if that does not pack enough of a whammy, they also have to heed the national call to boost productivity and pay packages.
Poor employers, some would say, as they seem to be under attack on several fronts to raise wages.
But think of it the other way: Could it be payback time?
For years, companies have creamed off a larger share of economic gains - larger than those in other developed countries or industrialising economies in Asia.
As a result, workers get a slice of Singapore's gross domestic product (GDP) that is considered unusually small compared with their counterparts' share in those countries.
Workers' wages account for less than half of Singapore's GDP. In contrast, wages take up more than half of GDP in developed countries.
This means that Singapore may have achieved one of the highest per capita GDPs - at $51,656 last year - but the superlative showing may not reflect the wealth of workers or benefit them as much.
It has led some analysts to wonder if Singapore is a First World economy with what is closer to a Third World wage structure.
'Factually, our wage levels are much higher than Third World (economies'). Otherwise, so many foreign workers would not be flooding into Singapore,' notes economist Manu Bhaskaran from Centennial Asia Advisors.
'The problem is not our wage levels, which are reasonably high, but whether they are commensurate with our per capita GDP level.'
So are wage levels keeping pace with economic growth? Or is Singapore's low wage share of GDP an indication that workers have been losing out?

In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a longstanding interpretation of the U.S. Constitution limiting government's power of eminent domain to public projects, like roads, bridges and government buildings. Despite widespread opposition from most Americans, the High Court ruled that government agencies could seize private property from unwilling sellers if there was some greater economic benefit to an alternative use for the property, no matter how dubious.
Equally concerning is that the court placed absolutely no limits on what is a permissible taking of private property, and left this determination to the states and local government. As a result, eminent domain abuse is all too common as government feeds its insatiable craving for more revenue by forcibly seizing small businesses, places of worship and homes from unwilling sellers, often from property owners who do not have the financial means or political connections to fight back.
All this was predicted by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who asserted that this awesome power would be the reverse of Robin Hood, where cities and their redevelopment agencies would seize from the poor and give to the rich.
"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms," O'Connor wrote in her dissenting opinion.
This is important for every American to consider, for our position on private-property rights defines our values and our boundaries between right and wrong. For no matter how attractive the thought may be of a larger shopping mall replacing the Golden Key Hotel to some, the people of Glendale should stand against eminent domain abuse ("Hotelier: City clipped my wings," Dec. 21). If not, the community will send a message to its City Council and politically connected developers that for the right price, no private property in Glendale is off limits.
Now is the time to send a message to the City Council that you place greater value on protecting private-property rights than the next electronic gadget or outfit one can purchase at just about any other shopping outlet in town.
Standing up for private-property rights is the right thing to do.

MLK celebration message: 'There is more to the dream'
BRIDGEPORT -- A former city pastor told 600 who packed Mount Aery Baptist Church on Monday that there is much more work to be done before the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. can become a reality.
"While we share the joy of the second inauguration of Barack Obama, there have been a lot of people who say that the dream has been realized," said Tyrone P. Jones IV, who led the Messiah Baptist Church on Congress Street for nine years. "But I beg to differ. Only a part of the dream has been realized. There is more to the dream, and we must rise up to take up the mantle of social justice."
The inauguration in Washington, taking place on the same day meant that Bridgeport Black Pride's 34th annual MLK celebration had to proceed without the usual presence of U.S. representatives and senators in the pews. Still, Mayor Bill Finch and other city officials turned out.
Jones, now the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Guilford, in Columbia, Md., urged the audience to recall the work of a poet.
"Maya Angelou taught us how to have dignity in the face of degradation," he said.
Jones said that Angelou, who spoke at the inauguration of President Bill Clinton two decades ago, has a message for all African-Americans.
"She taught us how to shine when we have been sanctioned into the darkness of despair," Jones said. He then recited a verse: "... Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise. Up from a past that's rooted in pain, I rise."
Jones also asked the crowd to recall Thurgood Marshall, the first black on the U.S. Supreme Court, and the nearly impossible obstacles he had to overcome.
"The University of Maryland Law School refused to admit him because of the color of his skin," Jones said.
"One of the first cases that he won was against the University of Maryland and their discriminatory practices against qualified blacks. He went from one who was pushed aside to the highest judge in the free world."
Quoting from the Bible, Jones said that God "raises up those, in time of need, who will come to lead us to justice.
"But before God does the raising up, it's up to you to get ready to rise."
He said that blacks in the United States can't "rest on their laurels" and be content with the gains made through King and Obama.
"We can no longer sit back and look at the fact the Martin Luther King was our modern-day prophet," he said.
The event was hosted by Mount Aery Pastor Anthony L. Bennett, who praised the work of Bridgeport lawyer Reine C. Boyer.
Boyer was a volunteer coordinator for the United Haitian-American Society during its relief efforts after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. A portion of the event's proceeds was given to her organization.
Gerard Azor is the executive director of the UHAS and Franck Dalembert is the chairman.
Gwendolyn Brantley, who heads Bridgeport Black Pride, said that the organization is looking for young members to carry the organization forward.
"For all of these things to happen at one time -- the second inauguration of Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Day and January being the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation -- I'm just glad to be a part of it," she said. "This only comes around once in a lifetime."
Jones, who was there with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children, said that he was at the celebration many times before, but in the audience.
"And never did I think that I would be guest speaker, so I'm honored to be here today," Jones said. "It's good to be back home again."

It's easy to still find references to Chicago area high school senior Tyler Ulis as standing only 5-7, so to some it might seem like a stretch for one of the nation's premier basketball programs to make him its next point guard.
Ulis has grown to 5-9, however, and even if that still is small for a college point he will bring a large amount of talent to the Kentucky Wildcats over the next four seasons.
That's right, we said it: four seasons. Unless he hits a growth spurt, it's unlikely he'll be following the one-and-done route.
Friday night, Ulis announced he had chosen UK over Michigan State and Iowa. The Wildcats made a late, successful push in recruiting him after Dallas playmaker Emmanuel Mudiay decided to stay home and attend SMU.
The announcement was made before Marian Catholic High's football game, with Ulis attired in a gladiator's outfit to reflect his high school's nickname: Spartans.
No, that didn't mean it was good news for Michigan State.
"I'll be going to the University of Kentucky," Ulis said, to no one's surprise. "Kentucky is a top basketball program ... and it'll help me out working hard every day, playing against the top-flight competition and with the top-flight competition. And Coach Cal (John Calipari) does a good job developing players."
A senior at Marian Catholic in Chicago Heights, Ulis is ranked No. 23 in the 2014 recruiting class by Sporting News, perhaps the highest number you'll find, although Scout.com promoted him to No. 29 following his terrific performances in summer tournaments from North Augusta, S.C., to Las Vegas. Ulis averaged 19.2 points and 6.8 assists at Nike's EYBL Finals at the Peach Jam. Most notable was a 22-point, 17-assist performance in a narrow loss to the team led by top-5 prospect Tyus Jones, who countered with 24 points and 7 assists.
Subsequent to that performance, Ulis told Sporting News more college coaches became convinced he could excel against the best. "They don't worry about my size any more," he said. "They just tell me once I get there, they'll put weight on me. They don't care how tall I am."
There've been at least two-dozen NBA players who were 5-9 or shorter, but only two who were first round picks: 5-3 Muggsy Bogues, who became the 12th player selected in the draft following four seasons at Wake Forest, and 5-9 Nate Robinson, chosen 21st overall in the 2005 draft out of Washington.
So coach John Calipari has a chance to gain a sense of consistency at point guard he hasn't enjoyed since early in his time at Memphis. Since 2007-08, whether with the Tigers or the Wildcats, he has had a new point guard every season. That's six seasons, six different point guards. Of course, that will be dependent on 1) Ulis succeeding and 2) Calipari declining to recruit over him should another Derrick Rose or John Wall become available and interested in UK between now and 2018.
Ulis' size will not be a non-issue. In the past two decades, there has been no NCAA championship point guard as short, and only 5-11 Ty Lawson (2009 North Carolina), 5-10 Khalid El-Amin (1999 Connecticut) and 5-10 Tyus Edney (1995 UCLA) were championship point guards under 6-0.
Kentucky's expected starter at the point this year, freshman Andrew Harrison, stands 6-5. He is likely to spend a single season running the Wildcats and then enter the NBA Draft, thus turning over the controls to Ulis.
Presuming Kentucky surrounds Ulis with its typical complement of high school All-Americans, however, he is a gifted enough passer and playmaker to threaten the NCAA career assists record held by Duke's Bobby Hurley, who accumulated 1,076 over four seasons and 140 games with the Blue Devils.
"Just from watching the game, watching guys like Chris Paul, I just picked it up," Ulis said of his passing ability. "I've always played point guard, so it just comes pretty natural."

Tim Ferriss, does anyone know him?
This is from Ivygate
Look for the most recent article which is on Ferriss.
1) Does anyone recognize the tournment from the first 30 seconds of the footage?
2) Does anyone know anything about this guy as a martial artist. i.e trained with him, watched him compete?
5/10/2007 8:38pm, #2Originally Posted by Samuel Browning
Besides, the Ivy Gate blog's complaint seems to be focused solely on the Amazon.com book reviews, which look fishy, but which are not necessarily, and in fact doubtfully, connected to Ferriss himself. Most Amazon.com coordinated rating boosters are created by the publishers or whatever, not the authors - they just tell their flunkies to do it, without being asked to by the author. And I don't exactly trust IvyGate, anyways.
In addition to which, the comparison to Aleksey Vayner is unwarranted, unless IvyGate is going to make the claim that Ferriss hasn't done all the stuff he's claimed he's done. I wouldn't know, but it's not like he's done particularly unbelievable stuff compared to other people here, it's just that he's the only one who's written a book about it.
I'm sure I can dig up stuff as to his training during his time here, I think I train with and under some people who've trained with him, but it would help if you could give more specific questions as to his martial arts training, and say what and why specifically you're investigating. I don't want to go around stirring up trouble if there's no reason to.

After a quick googling, Dave Camarillo plugged for him:

Going after people for boosting their review rating for a book that has almost nothing to do with MA...fabulous Sam. Obviously this is the BEST POSSIBLE thing that you could be doing right now, going after someone who doesn't teach MA, and also knows what he's doing, for something so unbelievably stupid, it isn't even funny.
Maybe I just got trolled, but either way, this thread belongs in Trollshido.

Sure, this is not a formal investigation. But since he is indicating that he has a competition background via his tape, I'm interested if others can confirm where he fought.
Timothy or Tim Ferriss does not show up in the standard databases.
So I would be interested in knowing.
1) Where did he fight, and if he holds any titles?
2) Does he have a particular rank in BJJ or another art?
3) What do people think his skill level is, professional, semi-pro, club/hobbiest(sp)
David Camarillo didn't say anything about Mr. Ferriss's martial arts skills, only that he had lived with the guy and that people should help him out.

Tim Ferriss - The 4 Hour Work Week - An Interview
Tim Ferriss and I first met in person in Washington DC on my recent trip. He came up to me seconds after a presentation that I made and told me how hed worked with a mate of mine and then asked if he could take me to lunch (hint - free food is always a good way to make a good impression with me).
The lunch that ensued was one that I wont forget in a hurry - we hit it off and I quickly realized that Id already heard about Tim (through a bizarre and surreal connection that Im not allowed to tell you about - he IS a champion kick boxer and world champion cage fighter - Im not going to break that promise)."
Okay, gentleman, we have a lot of NHB fans here. Is anyone familar where Tim won his cage and kick boxing matches?

Okay, does anyone who follows the fight scene in Japan or China know of this guy?
Would he have fought in Pride or K1?

<description>Anne, thanks for starting the discussion, and thanks to all for participating! Let me see if I can provide a few answers and ideas: 1. I know it seems unbelievable, but nothing in my bio is made up. To address the question about the tango world record, I set it on Live with Regis and Kelly for Guinness, and the video is on my site. For cage fighting, I used to train and compete with Shooto fighters in Tokyo (including Kiguchi Dojo and those from the original Japan Vale Tudo),

Here is some footage of him doing BJJ. I'll let others comment on his skill level.

So if you have to launch at the Boat Ramp, which is quite a way from the Dam doesn't that in effect make the "whole lake" a boardsailing area? Sailing to the "sailing area" requires you transit a little over half of the lake to get to and from the "Dam Area".
There is no real wind at the boat ramp end of the lake. The good wind is pretty much isolated to where the wind comes over the dam and is compressed by the canyon walls. Maybe someone with formula/longboard gear could slog through the lulls to get up there.
But it is pretty funny they put that on the web site, as it would make the whole lake open to sailing...which is not what they intended.

Without launch access at the old sailing site ( let alone the PFD requirement), Hodges is pretty much a dead-loss as a sailing site for non-formula sailors and beginners. A few hard-core people will give it a shot, but that's it.
I hear "Turko" is going to be there on April 2, maybe he can stir the pot again and get some action by embarrassing those in charge (again).

Maybe the approach could be
Start sailing on the lake again, proving to the powers that Be that allowing windsurfing at Hodges did NOT exactly bring about a 9/11 Part II.
Then...when they start to relax, over time start working on improving the access by removing a couple of those unnecessary rules...

Tell you a relevant little story...I was years ago sailing in the Gorge and came in to rest on the island near the Hook/jetty ...another sailor was there and we began to chat...she said that soon she would be moving to the SanDiego area.
As we discussed sailing locations Hodges was mentioned... she was actually going to work for the Pump Station Folks near our ex launch ...she assured me that we/windsurfers would never again have access to that spot,I will assume that means via the existing road,because it is close the the pumping station....so far she has been accurate in this prediction.

Will the gate on Lake Drive be open? Every time I have been to Hodges this critical access road from Hernandez Hideaway to the high wind area has been closed by a locked gate.

I was at Lake Hodges today, without gear, I just wanted to see what the scoop is. I also talked to two city employees at the boat ramp. First, I hiked to the old spot. It looks almost like in the old days, albeit a bit overgrown. I got tears in my eyes, when I saw the plaque commemorating Ron Cunningham there. He was one of the guys running the windsurfing station 15 years ago and died surfing on Jalama Beach. I still have a sail that was repaired by him. At 5 pm, there were still a few white caps.
The road to the old windsurf spot along the lake from Hernandez Hideaway is closed to cars, fenced off by a heavy gate. There is a second heavy gate past the new pump station (The pump station does not interfere with the windsurfing spot). It is not clear whether or not it is legal to hike or bike on the road. The city workers didn't know for sure. There is a hiking/mountain biking trail next to it, and it would be legal to carry your stuff on this trail to the old spot, and launch it there once you have signed all the paperwork, bought a 7$ wristband, and have your gear inspected for quagga mussels.
The city employees suggested to launch from the shore next to Hernandez Hideaway, and tack up. That might work if you have a formula boat with plenty of floatation but won't work for me with my 110 liter board.
So here are the options:
- Get a few buddies together, rent boat and tow your stuff from the boat ramp to where the wind is. I am not sure, though, whether the rental guys like if you pull a rented boat up to the beach where the wind is. In any case, it will be expensive (> $50).
- Have your own boat (I don't have one
Of course, you would have to have it inspected for quagga mussels too, and pay for the privilege to have it get in contact with the lake.
- Carry your stuff from Hernandez Hideaway to the spot in a board bag.
- Put your stuff on a bicycle trailer and tow it on the access road to the spot. Again, I don't know whether using this road on a bike is legal. And the least thing we want to do is to jeopardize the renewed access because of illegal behavior. The hiking/biking trail next to the lake is single track and would not accommodate a two-wheel trailer. It is even borderline for a one-wheel BOB trailer (which I actually own).
- Pull your stuff behind you in a kayak, launched from Hernandez Hideaway.
- Lobby your other half to help you (mine will, and will bike, while I windsurf
None of these options is great. The best thing would be to lobby the powers in charge to open the access roads for cars, like in the old days. The road is in perfect shape, the pump station is fenced off. So I really don't see where the problem is, unless some paranoids think that this would be an ideal place for terrorist to blow up a truck...
Unfortunately. I don't have time until mid-May to go sailing. I hope that a workable solution will be found by then and are eager to hear your ideas.

Another option to be able to easily tack upwind to the old sailing spot and still use your short board, is to tow it up behind your long board. Get a Kona One or any longboard and simply tow your shortboard behind you. You can enjoying being able to easily tack upwind thanks to the long board's daggerboard and pointing ability and quickly get to the old sailing spot at Lake Hodges.
Then park the longboard on the shore, transfer your rig to the shortboard and sail. I have used this technique a number of times at other spots where there is no immediate access or easy way to get a shortboard to the best sailing spot. Works!

Hi Germar or Kelly,
What is the distance between the parking at Hernandez and the old launch site?
Is the old launch site East or West of the water pump station?
I have a stroller that I could load up with my gear and hike down the road.

Paint Chip Art by Allison Patrick
If you've painted a room recently, or ever, you've probably got a stack of paint chips lying around. You already know you like the colors, so instead of throwing the chips away, why not do something creative with them? We love this idea from Allison Patrick, who uses strips of paint chips that are almost unrecognizable to create art — that definitely matches the walls!
From the artist, Allison Patrick:
"When I paint a new room, I spend a lot of time picking just the right paint color... While this process is beneficial for the room, it leaves me with lots of paint chips. Smart people might throw them out, but because I'm a bit of a hoarder, I have stacks of chips at the ready. I've always had this sense that one day I would find a use for all these carefully saved supplies. Finally I found one! And because each stack of paint chips comes from a specific room, once I've created my art pieces, I know they'll complement the walls perfectly."
If you don't have any paint chips lying around but like this idea, you could check with your local designer's library to see if they have any old or unused paint chips. Otherwise, Allison's goods area also for sale on Etsy, and be sure to check out her other fun creative reuse ideas on her blog, Reduce, Reuse, Redcorate.

Medical History and Physical Examination for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Examination Overview
Medical and dietary history
To find out whether your symptoms meet the criteria for diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), your doctor may ask you questions about:
- Recent stressful events in your life. Stress may be a strong indication that your symptoms may be caused by irritable bowel syndrome.
- Bowel function, including how many bowel movements you have each day or each week, whether you have constipation or diarrhea, whether you have noticed any blood or mucus in your stool, and any recent changes in your bowel habits or the shape of your stools.
- Whether your bowel movement patterns have any relationship to your abdominal pain (for example, if passing a stool relieves belly pain and cramping).
- Family history of similar symptoms.
- Family relationships that may be causing stress.
- Your use of laxatives or antacids.
- Things that may increase your risk of an intestinal infection, such as foreign travel, drinking untreated water, or recent antibiotic use.
The dietary history will include questions about food allergies and whether your symptoms seem to be related to any particular foods. Foods that most commonly cause symptoms include lactose (milk sugar) and sorbitol, a sugar substitute found in sugarless chewing gum and other sugar-free products.
The doctor may suggest that for a period of time you try avoiding foods that seem to cause problems, to see if your symptoms get better.
Physical examination
To help find out whether you have irritable bowel syndrome, the doctor will perform a standard physical examination, including:
- Feeling the abdomen.
- A digital rectal examination.
- Listening for bowel sounds (with a stethoscope).
- A pelvic examination (in women).
Why It Is Done
A medical history and physical examination are standard tests for people who have belly pain and changes in bowel habits.
Key findings in IBS are belly pain that is relieved with a bowel movement and a change in the consistency or number of times a day or week that you have bowel movements. The pain is not limited to one part of the abdomen. It may move around and may come and go. It often occurs or gets worse when you eat. Stress may also be related to belly pain.
The abdomen may be swollen if you have gas in the intestines. Your abdomen may be tender when the doctor presses on it. Abnormal bowel sounds may be heard, especially, but not only, if you have diarrhea. You may report symptoms such as an urgent need to have bowel movements or a feeling that you haven't completely emptied the bowel after you pass a stool.
A person who has IBS may have constipation more often, diarrhea more often, or constipation that alternates with diarrhea.
All other physical findings should be normal for a diagnosis of IBS.
What To Think About
Because there is no detectable structural problem that causes IBS, if you have a normal physical examination but you do have symptoms of IBS, this strongly suggests that you have irritable bowel syndrome. If your doctor thinks your symptoms may be caused by another problem, he or she may recommend other tests, such as:
- Blood tests (complete blood count [CBC] and/or sedimentation rate), to rule out anemia, inflammation, or infection.
- Test for blood in the stool (fecal occult blood test), to check for bleeding in the intestinal tract or white blood cells in the stool (a sign of inflammation or infection in the intestines).
- Tests for parasites in the stool, to check whether a parasitic infection, such as giardiasis, is causing symptoms.
- Thyroid and liver function tests, to check for metabolic problems.
- A blood test to rule out celiac disease.
Your doctor may recommend other tests not in this list. But if there are no symptoms (such as anemia, rectal bleeding or bloody diarrhea, fever, weight loss, pain that wakes you at night, or recent change in bowel habits) that suggest other intestinal diseases, few additional tests are needed. If these symptoms are present, tests for other problems, such as inflammatory bowel disease or an ulcer, may be needed.

There isn't even a finished script yet, but NBC has already run into trouble with its planned biopic about Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Executives in July announced plans for a miniseries starring Diane Lane that would look at the life and career of the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of State. What angle the miniseries will take is far from clear, but Clinton's political opponents, expecting her to run for president in 2016, aren't taking any chances.
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus called "Hillary" a "political ad masquerading as an unbiased production," and the RNC said it would nix NBC from its primary debates if the network went ahead with plans. It also made the same threat with CNN, which is planning a documentary about Clinton.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Although the RNC hasn't specifically said so, it could also steer GOP ad money away from NBC for upcoming races, costing local stations millions of dollars. "Hillary" is even stirring up internal strife, with NBC newsman Chuck Todd calling it a "total nightmare" for his division given that the miniseries might lead viewers to question whether he and others could cover Clinton fairly.
NBC is thus repeating a lesson networks have learned many times before: Politics and broadcast TV dramatizations don't mix.
In fact, the network's top programmer is now backing away from the project, only weeks after touting it as part of an exciting push into "event" programming.
"The Hillary Clinton movie has not been ordered to production, only a script is being written at this time," Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "It is 'in development,' the first stage of any television series or movie, many of which never go to production. Speculation, demands and declarations pertaining to something that isn't created or produced yet seem premature."
NBC declined further comment.
The notion that a Clinton biopic could sway large numbers of voters is unfounded, said Martin Kaplan, the Norman Lear professor of entertainment, media and society at USC's Annenberg School. Clinton has long been a polarizing political figure, he noted, and most people have set opinions of her.
Kaplan, a deputy campaign manager for Walter Mondale's 1984 White House run, recalled worry that the feature film "The Right Stuff" would tip the vote toward Mondale's primary opponent, former astronaut and then U.S. Sen. John Glenn.
"But it turned out to make no difference," he said.
Justified or not, the betting in the TV business is that the Clinton biopic won't air on NBC or any other broadcast station, for several reasons.
Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have been anathema to conservatives for years — meaning that large numbers of viewers may simply tune out. Then too, any whiff of controversy could keep major advertisers away. And if Clinton does indeed run for president, it's conceivable that opponents could demand equal time on the network.
"She is one if the front-runners in 2016, so it's a little risky," said Brad Adgate, analyst at ad firm Horizon Media, adding that NBC lacks the freedom that a pay-TV outfit such as HBO enjoys.
As a premium-cable network, HBO does not run advertising or political debates, which makes it immune from the kinds of pressures that give pause to broadcast bigwigs. Former GOP vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin blasted "Game Change" — HBO's 2012 take on the 2008 election, with Julianne Moore as the former Alaska governor — as "biased" and "false."
HBO executives shrugged and ran the movie, which ended up winning five Emmys.
It's a different story on broadcast, which is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission and depends on big-dollar commercials from major corporations. Viewers may hate the endless political advertising that clogs the airwaves during campaign seasons, but those spots help local stations stay in the black – a fact not lost on network programmers.
While Hollywood is known as a bastion of liberalism, the risk to political TV projects cuts both ways.
A decade ago, CBS shelved plans to air "The Reagans," about the Republican president and his wife Nancy after a public outcry; the project eventually ran on sister network Showtime.
The 2011 History series "The Kennedys" also came under attack for its no-holds-barred portrayal of the Democratic dynasty, including references to President John F. Kennedy's womanizing. It eventually ran on the smaller ReelzChannel pay-TV network.
Even when executives do bite the bullet, there can be little payoff to politically themed material. ABC's 2006 miniseries "The Path to 9/11" was attacked by Democrats who argued that it offered a tendentious and sometimes wholly fabricated version of events in the war on terror.
In that instance, viewers appeared to care much less than politicians did. With a $40-million price tag, the two-part show wound up being beaten in the ratings by a football game.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch and where to go
The planned "Hillary" miniseries, however, would almost certainly draw more attention — and indeed, it already has, even without a script.
"We have seen films leave an imprint on campaigns, as [Michael Moore's] 'Fahrenheit 9/11' did impact the conversation in the 2004 campaign," said Chris Lehane, a lawyer in the Clinton White House. "Even the Clinton video 'A Man From Hope' … took a photo of Clinton doing a pro forma handshake with JFK and turned it into a symbol and enduring image for the entire campaign."
One thing is certain: For the Republicans, attacking "Hillary" is a no-lose proposition. If NBC goes ahead with production, party leaders can take shots at the project for months, firing up partisans who detest the Clinton family. They could even use the miniseries as a basis for an anti-Clinton fundraising appeal.
And if "Hillary" winds up on the scrap heap before it's even produced, RNC head Priebus can claim that his take-no-prisoners approach led to victory.
"The GOP's strategic attacks won't have any influence on NBC, but those attacks rhetorically signal to the GOP base that the party leadership has enough backbone to challenge the 'liberal media establishment,'" Jeffrey McCall, a media professor at Indiana's DePauw University, said via email.
"The GOP has gotten a good deal of attention with its righteous outrage, so their efforts are largely successful," he added.
Kaplan said the dust-up does show the consequences of letting the national political parties have such a big say in how the debates are run. Years ago, he pointed out, the League of Women Voters ran the debates with little interference from the major parties.
"Once we inadvertently gave power over debates to the parties and let networks bid for those eyeballs, there's always going to be some complaint by some party," he said.

Pop star Lady Gaga has been left heartbroken by the scenes of destruction in her native New York after superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc across America's East Coast on Monday (29Oct12).
The singer was on tour in Puerto Rico when the post-tropical cyclone made landfall, and she admits she was plunged into despair as she watched the disaster unfold in her home state.
Gaga took to her Little Monsters blog to offer support to the victims of the storm, admitting she felt as though her "entire childhood is underwater" as New Yorkers work to rebuild the damaged city streets.
In a post entitled Hurricane Blues, she writes, "I'm not sure where to put these feelings. I'm so sad. I feel like my entire childhood is underwater. The boardwalk in Atlantic City (in New Jersey), my old apts (apartments) in Brooklyn and LES (Lower East Side). All the bars and friends.
"I'm just so sad. I know it will be OK. I'm not sure why I feel this way. Maybe homesickness, or maybe it's easier to be a gypsy if you know your soul grows from somewhere great. And that great place protected me my whole life, now parts are destroyed. Just very sad and pensive today. Thinking of everyone today."

I'm not gonna lie, there are lots of things that make my job harder this time of year. The endless hours of daylight, bug bites, splinters, sunscreen application, taking wet bathing suits off to poop (have I mentioned how much my kids poop?), drowning nightmares, the effing ice cream man. But in honor of this first week of the season, I thought today we could focus on what makes summer so good—for me and for them. Here's my quick, stream-of-consciousness list of summer faves:
Sprinklers = bath. Pool + hose = bath. Ocean = bath. (Ocean also = really good hair.) S'mores. Lightning bugs. Corn on the cob. Oysters. Clams. Tomatoes. Zucchini. Lobster. Grilled everything. My garden. Lying in the grass = activity. Eating outside. Crazy thunderstorms. Baseball. Boating. Swimming. Salt water. Air drying. Windows open. Windows down. Top 40. Flip flops. Bare feet. Big waves. Hydrangeas. Marco Polo. Joy. Laughter. Fire pits. Fireworks. Blockbusters. Bad TV. Billy Joel. Paul Simon. Bob Marley. The smell of sunscreen. Sand on my feet (not in my house). Corona Light. Lemonade. Jumping overboard. Jumping off the diving board. Jumping on the 50 Shades bandwagon. Biking. Beaching. Barbecuing. American-flag-themed stuff. Real ice cream in a cone. Guacamole. Vacations. Cuddling a kid wrapped in a beach towel. And finally, summer Fridays, like the one I'm (clearly) taking today.
Happy summer, everyone. And happy Friday!
What's on your quick-hit list of summer wonders?

Alcohol and narcotics!
Joey Candillo knew these two vices all too well as an Independence teenager. Not only was he a drug user, but he also was a drug pusher. He was arrested in 1997 for selling drugs and served time at the Boonville Penitentiary.
Joey was 22 and "at rock bottom" when he began serving his four-month sentence and began searching for the true meaning of life, which he found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
"That was a wake-up call. God really got a hold of me," he says, recalling he attended a chapel service and heard for the first time that God loved him and had a plan for his life. "I was really blown away that God would forgive me, because I had done a lot of bad things around Independence."
As he listened to the chaplain's message of forgiveness, Joey thought: "This guy doesn't know what I have done." But despite his doubts, God dealt with him, he says, and "I came forward and gave my life to Christ" at the end of the service.
Today, 39-year-old Joey Candillo is ministering to some of the people he used to do drugs with. He is pastor of Grace Church Independence, which he recently planted at 222 N. Osage St. – just off the Square.
Sitting in his office at the rear of the 6,000-square-foot building next to Diamond Bowl, Joey recalls how close he came to missing God's plan for his life.
Upon his release from prison, Joey began worshiping at Eastside Baptist Church, where he was baptized. On one of Joey's earlier visits to the Independence church, the pastor gave the young convert his telephone number, saying, "If you ever need anything, call me."
And Joey did one evening after a spat with his girlfriend. Instead of "going out and getting drunk" as he wanted to do, he telephoned his pastor.
"It was about 10 at night," he recalls, "and he talked to me. And by the time we got off the phone, I was ready to go to bed and sleep it off."
Says Joey: "If it wasn't for Eastside Baptist and the pastor who loved on me unconditionally, I would be back in prison for sure."
Joey, though, never returned to prison. Instead, he was obedient to God's call to the ministry. A year after he was "saved" in prison, he started four years of schooling at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Mo.
Three months after graduating, Joey and Mike Bobbitt planted Second Chance Ministries, a church for troubled teenagers in northeast Kansas City.
"I had a real burden to reach kids that were like me growing up. We did that, and had a lot of success."
Directly across the street from Second Chance Ministries was the long-established Bales Baptist Church that planned to close its doors. But to prevent the closure, Bales and Second Chance Ministries merged into one church. There Joey pastored for 11 years.
Then last summer, Joey felt God was leading him away from Bales to plant another church, possibly to Independence where he has lived since 1982.
While looking for a place to plant a church in northwest Independence, "This building (on Osage) opened up," he recalls. "We looked at it a few times, and in the process of praying and fasting, God opened it up."
The first 30 members were Independence residents who attended Bales Baptist.
"They were tired of driving (to Bales)," he says, "so when I came here and they found I was leaving (Bales), they said, 'We want to come to you.'"
"There are no perfect people" is the motto of the fundamentalist church that meets for Sunday worship at 9 and 10:30 a.m. in the 200-seat auditorium.
Because of space limitations, there is no Sunday school. However, there are Bible studies on Wednesday and Thursday nights, in addition to an addiction recovery group that meets on Monday night.
Since its first service on Nov. 15, 2013 – with 30 in attendance – Grace Church is now averaging approximately 200 worshipers at both services.
And on Jan. 5, when most churches canceled services because of the heavy snowfall, "We went ahead and had church, and 163 people showed up," he says.
Noting "things are going really well," Joey envisions some 300 worshipers for Easter services after a record-high attendance of 259 earlier this month.
"If we continue to grow, we are going to add a third service," he says, and that might be a Saturday night service. We believe (such a service) in the summer would be a great draw."
Now that the weather is getting nice, Grace Church plans to do a lot of "nice things" in the community. During Santa-Cali-Gon Days, the church will open its doors so people can use its rest rooms and cool off in its air-conditioned auditorium. It also is sponsoring free indoor concerts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights of the Labor Day weekend celebration.
"I also want to partner with some of the area churches," he says, like doing a three-on-three basketball tournament on the hill at Truman and Noland. "The event is free and the winner gets a hundred bucks."
As for the mission of the church, "We are trying to connect and reconnect people with God," he says. "That's the bottom line. We want people to begin a relationship with God and grow in that; we don't turn anyone away. We are going to love on them wherever they're at."

Top producer Tony Platt shares his nEar08 eXperience...
Tony Platt has been described as a ´true master in his field´. He has been producing and engineering records for over 30 years and his credits include Sparks, AC/DC, Bob Marley, Iron Maiden, Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Jazz Jamaica All Stars and Motörhead.
More recently, after working with Mercury award nominated Soweto Kinch on his recent album and recording Abram Wilson´s Jerwood commissioned piece "RIDE - The Ferris Wheel to the Modern Delta", Tony went on to complete the latest album with The Bad Plus and recordings with Dutch Goth/Metal band Nemesea and U.K. based Trip/Hop artists Second Person. In the last few weeks he has been mixing tracks with singer/songwriter Alexander Wolfe at Dean Street Studios where he tested the nEar08s.
Being a big fan of the nEar05 eXperience monitors, we were keen to find out what Tony thought of their new, 8" big brothers. Here´s what he said...
"Speaker choice is a particularly subjective art and so my preference is always towards speakers that are comfortable to display a personality rather than trying to claim exceptional flatness. Of course a great deal of the response of a speaker, even in the near and mid field categories, is so dependent on the room and therefore speaker choice for untreated spaces is even more difficult.
These nEar08 speakers are able to deliver the bass frequencies very well and the response is tight and realistic. By using the HF control I was easily able to achieve a workable balance between high, mid and low response that accurately reflected the material being listened to and the personality they imparted was recognisable.
I believe the nEar08s are an excellent speaker for monitoring especially in a recording situation and whilst they lack a little of the detail required in a mixing context I felt I would easily get used to this and be able to make the necessary compensation."

==Phrack Inc.== Volume One, Issue Three, Phile 10 of 10 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Phreak World News II Compiled by \\\\\=-{ Knight Lightning }-=///// _______________________________________________________________________________ Retraction ---------- We at Phrack Inc, respectfully retract all statements made in last issue concerning Stronghold East Elite and the LOD. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. _______________________________________________________________________________ Phreaks Against Geeks --------------------- This group was formed as a joke by The W(hack)o Cracko Brothers Inc. on a conference in December of 1985. The charter members were TWCB, taRfruS, Blue Adept, The Clashmaster, and a few others. Since then, Catcher in the Rye and the Slovak have tried to join. Later that month, Boston Strangler and Micro Man formed PAP, which stands for Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks. Other opposers of PAG include: Hack Attack, The Detective, Kleptic Wizard and The Overlord 313. It is not known if these others are now in PAP or not. All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth System and is mainly a local feud of phreaks in the Boston (617 NPA) area. _______________________________________________________________________________ Brainstorm Gets 10 Megs ----------------------- Finally, after several months of promises, Brainstorm (ELITE) now has a 10 Meg Hard-drive. As of January 1, 1986 Modern Mutant cleared the userlog of Brainstorm and a membership drive was started. Note: To become a member of Brainstorm, you will have to take a small (and more or less easy) filter. Some other new features on Brainstorm are online games; Karate, Football, and a hacking simulation. _______________________________________________________________________________ Anarchy Inc. Disbanded ---------------------- Anarchy Inc., a once very famous g-phile writing organization, has been disbanded. Basically because most of its membership are now attending college. _______________________________________________________________________________ Dartmouth Conferences To Be Abolished? -------------------------------------- This message was given on January 9, 1986 when a user would try to join a conference. XCaliber, Fantasie, Spectre, etc are not available until tomorrow. Due to pressure from Kiewit and some users, conferences have been disabled for one day. Hopefully this will remind some people that the conferences are a public service on the part of a few people and are not a "right". Recent abuse of the conferences has made caring for these conferences almost more trouble than they are worth. These abuses have also caused some users to complain to Kiewit. Too many complaints and they might vanish altogether. If everyone will work at keeping the conferences reasonably clean and free of abuse life will be much easier. Thank you for your time and appologies for the lack of conferences. You are no longer connected to conference "XYZ". Later, Corwin got pissed off by the password abuse that was going on and killed almost all non-Dartmouth student passwords. It is also rumored that he took down the DUNE bbs, however Apollo Phoebus says that it is a temporary thing and that DUNE will be going back up soon. _______________________________________________________________________________ MCI Employee Bust ----------------- Employees at MCI were creating fake accounts and then running up massive bills. Then later they would either credit the accounts or say that the subscriber reported code abuse. Any employee found doing this was fired. Another way these employees were cheating the company was by reporting code abuse on their own accounts, however MCI Security using CNA quickly caught these employees. Note: MCI Security has stated that the only real way that they can catch abusers of the phone company is by calling the numbers that the abusers call and asking them who they know making these calls. Information has been provided through MCI Security _______________________________________________________________________________ MCI/IBM Merge ------------- MCI Telecommunications company has merged with IBM and their phone industry SBS. This was an effort to join the two as strong allies against AT&T. IBM computers Vs. AT&T computers MCI Telecommunications Vs. AT&T Telecommunications Changes arising from this merger (if any) are not known, but none are expected for some years. _______________________________________________________________________________ The Life And Crimes of the W(hack)o Cracko Brothers --------------------------------------------------- The date is somewhere in December of 1984. Peter writes a code hacker for the Hayes and tells Tim NOT to use it on Sprint because they trace. Sometime later that night Tim received a call from Scan Man, sysop of P-80. Scan Man said he needed TWCB to hack him some Sprint codes cause he didn't have the time or a Hayes. Tim did it for him on the 314-342-8900 Sprint extender. He left it on all night and the next day while he was in school. Sprint traced him. At 9:00 AM the next morning agents from the FBI, AT&T, Western Union, GTE, and Southwestern Bell, arrived at TWCB's house. They were let in, bringing with them cameras and tape recorders among other equipment. Upon seeing this Peter blew into an upstairs extension and cancelled the dialing program, but not before the agents made sure it was the right place. All of TWCB's computer equipment was confiscated and Tim was taken downtown shortly after being picked up at school. Peter was sick and left home. Tim was later released in his mother's custody. They each received probation and 100 hours of county service. That was then... Recently TWCB has come under investigation for the following: Drug use and dealing, burglary, forgery, and fraudulent use of a credit card. Peter: 8 Class A Felony charges 1 Class A Misdemeanor charge 1 Class B Misdemeanor charge Tim: 6 Class A Felony charges 2 Class B Misdemeanor charges Note: Some of these misdemeanors are for not returning library books. Also it has been said that Tim has been in jail 11 times. Both members of TWCB are now enrolled in a reform school. The information in this article has been provided by TWCB, directly and/or indirectly. _______________________________________________________________________________ Blue Adept: Gone For Good ------------------------- Blue Adept, known for being an all around loser and Dartmouth impersonator, decided to try blue boxing. For some reason he decided to call an out-of-state trunk direct. Later that month Blue Adept and his parents received a phone bill with a charge around $386.00. This led to his being restricted from using the phone. Sometime after this incident Blue Adept received an invitation to join on a conference. He wasn't home but his parents decided to stay on and listen in. Blue Adept is not allowed on conferences anymore and all calls to him are now screened. _______________________________________________________________________________ Overlord 313 Busted: Step dad turns him in ------------------------------------------ Overlord's step-dad always would be checking his computer to see what was on it and what was nearby. Last week he noticed the credits in Overlord's file on Wiretapping, which can be seen in this issue of Phrack. He reported his findings to Overlord's mom. She had a talk with him and he promised to stop his evil ways. His step-dad didn't believe him for a second. 1/11/86 Step-dad goes on business trip, where he meets Ma Bell executive Don Mitchell. Step-dad asks all sorts of different questions regarding use of MCI dialups and Alliance Teleconferencing, and talks about how his step-son does all these things and more. Don strongly suggests that he reports this to the phone company... 1-13-86 HE DOES ------- No legal action against Overlord has taken place as of now. Information Provided by The Overlord of 313 _______________________________________________________________________________ Maelstrom 305 Busted -------------------- While I am not at liberty to revel all the information concerning this bust I will mention the bare facts. Maelstrom hacked into the Southern Bell Data Network (SBDN). This system happened to be local to him so he did not bother to use an extender. Unfortunately this system also had ANI (Automatic Number Identification). His computer and other equipment as well as all his files were confiscated as evidence. Information provided by the Maelstrom of 305 _______________________________________________________________________________ Whackoland BBS -------------- This bbs is now up and running strong. Its sysops are of course...TWCB Inc. 300/1200 Baud, and 40 Megs. It has unique features and great mods as well as Elite Sections. Call today... 314-256-8220. Note: Only 100 users will be kept so if you are just a beginner please don't bother to call. _______________________________________________________________________________ R.I.P. Broadway Show -------------------- The Broadway Show BBS in New York is now down, and Broadway Hacker will soon be in Washington DC. This C-64 run bbs, was one of the best in its time, but later it became a hangout for rodents. >From its ashes rises a new bbs, however its name has not been released as of this writing. Broadway Hacker will sysop this bbs for about a week and then turn it over to the new sysop. His name is not yet know, probably since he hasn't a handle yet. Although this new bbs will appear legal and have some legal sections it is indeed a phreak bbs, and should be checked out. 718-615-0580 _______________________________________________________________________________ Speed Demon Elite Down? ----------------------- This bbs sysoped by Radical Rocker has suddenly disappeared leaving the caller with a message of the line being disconnected. No other information is available. _______________________________________________________________________________ Well that's all for this issue's Phreak World News.
