|A Musician's Take on File Sharing, DRM, and Copyleft Licensing

Response to: Mp3 Helps, the record industy hurt themselves
I feel like I was locked in a shell before I really got online and into P2P. I thought I knew what music I was "in to". damn, was I wrong. I just had no idea of the vast selection of music types and artists that were making good music this whole time...and I was locked into what I heard on the radio or with friends-what an incredibly slow way to find new music. I've never bought more CD's than after I discovered Napster (then morpheus, then Kazaa) because I ran out of music to buy! I had already bought what I liked, and rarely found new music to purchase. Once I got online and searching I would find similar artists-or collaborations (that I had not heard of before), so I could go and check out these other artists and Holy Hell!...what a great way to discover a whole new world of music-and even better, it's right at your fingertips. No more wasting money on a CD you've only heard one song from, now we can listen to the songs before we buy it.

This whole RIAA record sales decline is a bunch of bull. There are a couple of things I can state that just doesn't add up that the RIAA claims is decreasing record sales.
1st of all, the exact same record labels in NY and elsewhere that are complaining about file sharing, and the artists losing money are the same ones that aren't giving a crap about bootleggers, and never have. I could walk a "couple of blocks" away from any major record label in Manhattan and go find any CD of any artist at a table on the street corner. But yet they're saying their serious about piracy? Doesn't seem that way to me.
2nd, technology wise, this theory about MP3s doesn't wash for me. For 1 thing, in just the US alone, not everyone owns a PC, maybe about 35% or little more at best. 2nd, at least about 75% of US citizens are still using 56k connections, not DSL or Cable. So what does this mean? Well here's the deal. I don't know anyone that goes online downloading whole albums, especially not with a 56k connection. No one has that much time in the day with a 56k connection, and that's assuming that you can even get a full connection rate of 56k, 9 out of 10 you won't.
If by chance you did find an entire album of an artist, no one in their right mind would download that file, not just because of the speed problems, but also because you know that each song wouldn't be encoded with the better bit rate quality, because that would increase file size, which is the whole purpose of having MP3's in the first place.
People aren't downloading albums, their downloading singles. And sure, artists don't get paid for downloads, which I feel evey artist is entitled to their money for their labor, but myself, as well as many others that have expressed their opnioins on this forum are tired of spending hard earned money for an album, just to take it home and hear "maybe" 2 "average" tracks. And it really pisses me off because I'm a producer. I've had many people in the industry that have told me my tracks are "major level", but because I don't have a name for myself, like "Baybface", "Timbaland", "BT", "Neptunes", I'm not even considered for some projects. THen I listen to their tracks and it's like "They got paid $50k - $200k for that song?" Yeah, right.
Again, my example just takes into acct. the way things are here in the US, but everybody in the world doesn't have a PC, yet even with all of the bootlegs, explain to me how a rapper named "50 Cent" sold over 800,000 units in a week if people aren't buying albums? THe RIAA is half right, people aren't buying albums, just not crappy ones.

nor do i plan to get signed by a major label. i'm glad that most people are of the mind set that artists should be paid for the work they do. i was not impressed by the post where someone told a working musician to get off his ass and do more shows a week when he was already doing 4-5 shows a week. there's a guy doing it himself, puting out good music, gigging, and trying to provide his fans with a good sounding product. please support that. most people do, from what i've read.
anyone who thinks music should be free is just wrong. it will never be, not because I SAY so, but because of the constitutional rights of copyright given to creators of art and science. if you want things to keep progressing, we've got to support innovative minds.
labels are desperate, they're going down. they're signing deals that have as much as 50% royalties to the artist!!!! not that that's not the way it should have been since the beginning, but that's where it's going. i think we'll see more of our artist friend out there working the scene themselves with their own exclusive label. however, all those people who said that bands should tour to get money, who do you think fronts the money for tour support? THE LABEL. ticket prices are going up becaues labels don't have money to put towards touring. so pretty soon everyone will be bitching about that, too. so artists will start to loose more money there. then the only thing people will do is steal music. there's got to be money going to the artists somehow.
look at it this way--i'll utilize the benefits of file sharing to illustrate...you live in california and you find a great band in florida, "gator inflator", over file sharing. but you don't pay for the music because you're going to support them by seeing one of their shows. meanwhile, gator inflator is on their own label, doing REALLY well, pulling in about 300,000. each guy of this 4 piece band pulls in about 75,000 a year. now do you think that if the labels are weary of sending bands on tour since it's not a big money maker that four dudes from florida are going to embark on a nationwide tour with the anticipation that they'll turn a profit? it will rarely happen. it's great that they got their exposure to you, but it's really a shame that you, as a fan, stole their music when you could have bought it for $.80-1.00.
my main concern is people who think music should be free. artists work as hard as anyone else with the added stress of risk. if they know that their stuff is good and that they have a big audience and fan base, but the money is not coming in, how long do you think they will stay in the business (ESPECIALLY if it's their own)? don't steal candy, don't steal cars, don't steal music--support the artists you listen to...i know i could use it!
check out mp3.com/ushers. there's free downloads, and if you like those you can order our old cd for $5 and the new one for $8. later all!

The assumption that people create art for monies paid to them is wrong. Mankind did not start creating art in order to get paid for creating that art. They started creating art so that other people could see or hear what they have created (so that they could SHARE their art with other human beings). Since the beginning of "industry", we have seen a change in this, and therefore have seen a serious change in the art being created. Just for example: abstract Paintings (or in other words, paintings that are done by someone who has no particular skill in painting but wishes to be called a "painter" nonetheless), The Backstreet Boys, plain and boring looking Furniture and Pottery. In order for us to have high quality art, we need to take the "Industry" out of Art. P2P is a small part of a revolution that is taking the "Industry" out of Art. As for the musician that stated that he plays 4-5 nights a week and expects more than what he is already getting, I would like to note that there are many millions of human beings that work 16 hour days, 6-7 days a week and make barely enough money to keep "their head above water". The sole reason that people are barely making it and working so hard, is because of "Industry". If there were more regulations on "Industry", the playing field would be leveled, thus creating an atmosphere where not only could you make more than enough money to get by, but would also have the time to actually start creating more Art. For the record, I am an unsigned musician. I create art so that I can share it with others, not so that I can get paid for what I create. As a creator of Art, "Industry" has made it very difficult for me to share my art with large masses of other human beings. I look forward to the day when technology defeats the effort of "Industry" to suppress my ability to share my art with the rest of Mankind.

3 of my friends and my uncle are musicians my friend and uncle are solo and the other two are in the same bands. They all write their own songs and they would like to used p2p for promoting themself. Musicians make money from touring. They figure if they are good enought and the word gets out about them they could tour the state or in the nation. Modles on MTV is destroying music. The real musicians are being treated unfairly, p2p is their only chance of getting heard world wide. They don't get to be on tv just because they are not as preatty like the modles on mtv and plus they are more talentive and have better songs then them.
P2p is the right for musicians to easily promote themself lets not take that away from them.

I think a lot of people are looking at things too narrowly here...
Keep in mind that the musicians on the radio and prominently displayed in CD stores represent roughly 1% of the total musicians in this country. There are millions of musicians not even on a major label who are composing, producing and distributing CDs on their own or with smaller independent labels...
And while file sharing undoubtedly helps them--it's free publicity and this generation's version of 'grassroots'--when people stop buying these artists' CDs, it REALLY hurts them. In this case, the artist--not the RIAA or major labels--is losing significant money that could be used to mount tours or pay for production costs (costs that the artist is shouldering).
For these independent and lesser known artists, the ability of basically anybody to get that artist's music without buying a CD really drains what little resources they've worked hard to build from basically nothing.

Memphis, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Memphis Grizzlies All-Star center Marc Gasol is out indefinitely with a MCL sprain in his left knee.
Gasol left Friday's 102-86 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the second quarter with the injury.
The reigning Defensive Player of the Year was hurt on a non-contact play early in the period. Gasol was defending Jeff Ayres in the post, and as Ayres went to receive an entry pass from Manu Ginobili, Gasol limped off the court in obvious pain.
An MRI on Saturday revealed a MCL sprain. No surgery will be required.
Gasol is averaging 16.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 13 games this season. He has missed just four games dating back to the start of the 2010-11 season.

The largest cesspool of hate for this game I have seen recently is well, this topic
No, he's right. DmC is being universally praised by both critics and fans of the series. The Nintendo fanboys are just bashing it because they're not core gamers.
Face it, DmC is a core game and that's why it's not on the Wii U.
It's a profit deal.
Many people out there dislike it for it's choice of art style, see twitter for backlash towards Ninja Theory. What do you expect from the fan boys? Some of you come to this board just for the sake of being a troll and say oh! Wii U isn't getting....
Just go find something better to do with your time, if the game is that great then go play it.

The day DmC suddenly got a fanbase
Metroid Zero Mission and Super Metroid are some of the finest 2D games ever made and are the best in the series.
Metroid Fusion is pretty cool I guess.
I would say this to those accusing Nintendo fans of attacking this game: I don't remember seeing any threads talking about this game at all here but this one. If Nintendo fans were really trashing this game out of anger like some are claiming then where is the proof? Negative posts in ONE thread meant to bash the system?

Friend or Foe1 Reviews
Two boys go to play in the woods, but they find they are not alone
-"What's wrong?" Otta asked, "Scarred?" Otta ran into the woods laughing as he left Togot behind. Togot sighed.
-"There is a difference between bravery and stupidity," he muttered to himself as he walked after his friend. He knew he had nothing to prove, but Otta was his friend and he may get himself into trouble.
-It was easy for Togot to track Otta through the trees, with all the noise he was making every living thing for miles knew they were there.
-"Come on Togot, you've got to keep up," Otta called over his shoulder. Togot followed calmly, and much more quietly, behind his vulgar friend. Suddenly Togot sensed something was wrong, Otta had stopped and wasn't making noise anymore.
-At first Togot thought Otta was hiding and would jump out at him at any given moment, but then Togot saw his friend and he knew something was wrong. Otta was frozen in place with a look of panic on his face. Togot slowly walked up to him and fallowed his gaze to see what had frightened him. a few feet away, a very large black wolf stood facing the two boys, and it looked angry.
-The wolf was baring its large white teeth and snarling at the boys. Togot saw his friend's hands shaking and he knew he was about to run. "Otta, back away very, very slowly," Togot whispered, "What ever you do, don't run; if you run, you will die, ok?"
-Otta nodded and slowly took a step backwards, never taking his eyes off of the beast. The wolf took a step forward toward Otta, and Togot matched the animal's move. The wolf's attention shifted to Togot as Otta took off running, spooked by the animal's advance.
-The wolf watched Otta run off and when he was out of sight, it slowly turned its gaze back to Togot, too slowly. Something about the animal's movement didn't seem natural; Togot had never seen an animal move that deliberately before; it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
-Togot squared off with the strange animal; he stared at it and it stared right back at him. "Ok...now what?" Togot asked himself, trying to come up with a plan. Before he could find an answer, the wolf suddenly leapt forward and knocked him to the ground.
-The next thing Togot saw, was a mouth full of sharp teeth coming down at him. Togot felt the wolf's jaws wrap around his throat and he knew he was finished. He felt the fangs press down, but the moment they pierced his skin, the wolf stopped. It slowly released its death grip and sniffed the boy's neck where Togot was bleeding.
-The wolf suddenly jumped off of Togot as if it had been startled. Togot slowly sat up and looked at the animal to find it looking at him with a quizzical expression. Togot slowly reached his hand up to his neck and felt the blood on his skin. "Why did you stop?" he asked.
-Before he got an answer, the wolf shot a look away from him. Togot followed its gaze and he heard someone coming. The wolf and Togot both looked at each other one more time before the animal made a quick retreat. Togot was left sitting alone, holding his neck with a very confused expression. And that was how his father and the others that Otta had sent, found him.

The $16 million Barre Big Dig finished up at the end of October. Residents here have had to put up with up to two years of disruptions. We decided to ask some people on the street what they think about it.
"I'm so excited about the new Main Street, the new restaurants, the new bookstore; Barre's just a unique little town," said Tony Campos of Barre.
"It was just so bright, up there you look down and it's such a nice place," said Donna Holden of Barre.
"Well, it's better than before at least," said Brittney Wheeler of Barre.
"I think now we'll see a lot more walking traffic," said Bob Ford of Barre. "Great to see no trucks down here because you can't hear yourself think when they come by, but I think they've really improved it."
"Of course a facelift is going to make everything look better," said Steve Henry of Barre. "But the question is, is it going to bring more jobs? That's my question."
"It looks great," said Wendy Pierson, who works in Barre. "I think we still have some empty storefronts that we want to fill, but I think it will be good."
While the bulk of the changes are underground in the form of new sewer, water and electric, they've also done a lot, installing new lighting and lamp posts and little baby trees all along Main Street.
"Everybody loves seeing the benches, the new trash cans, the new lighting. I mean, if you've come down here at night, you see it's all lit up downtown. There's no dark spots; the light goes from one post to the other. You're not walking through any dark spots or anything else," said Bob Nelson of the Barre Partnership.
"This is an adult day service. And they come out and sit on the benches. They love it. They love the new downtown. It's easy for them to walk on the sidewalks because they're flat now and easy to cross," said Linda Kuban of Project Independence.
"It just makes where the crosswalks are too narrow for the big trucks to go through, so I think it's ridiculous how they did it," said Jessica Laforest of Barre.
"I really enjoy it. I walk quite a bit and it's a big, big difference compared to what it was," said Joe Perreault of Barre.
"It's reface the town. It's made it look good. It's not so ratty looking anymore. It looks nice. It's very people-friendly," said Justin Donahue of Barre.
Reporter Alexei Rubenstein: Saturday it sounds like there's a big celebration going on.
Mary Jane Magnan/Wobby Jewelers: We have a huge open house going on where we're inviting everyone to come shop in the downtown and see our whole new look.
Saturday's Barre Open House events kick off at 1 p.m. with a ribbon cutting and then end the day at 5 p.m. with a parade, tree lighting and fireworks.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Redskins and Mike Shanahan have reached an agreement in principle that makes Shanahan the replacement for Jim Zorn.
Klis also reports that Broncos owner Pat Bowlen will save $7 million over the next two years, but that Bowlen will still pay Shanahan $3.5 million in each of the next two seasons to not coach the Broncos.
No word on what Shanahan is getting, but I assume it's a bajillion dollars, knowing Dan Snyder.
Anyway, how do think Shanahan will do as head coach?

Hymns Reinvented on Some Glad Morning
- Tuesday, June 08, 2010
Artist: Cindy Morgan
Title: Hymns: Some Glad Morning
Label: Independent
I've no idea the specific reasons behind Cindy Morgan taking on her most recent project. But it's as if the longtime songwriter surveyed the all-too-familiar landscape of worshipful releases filled with hymns and finally decided to do it right. Hymns: Some Glad Morning, Morgan's own attempt at the subgenre, is indeed a pitch-perfect release of what a hymns project should be.
Familiar tunes abound on Hymns: Some Glad Morning, but each and every track brings a questioning glance and some form of the question, "This can't be [insert track name here], is it?" Therein lies the beauty of Morgan's reinventions. Each song roots itself just enough in the rich gospel tradition without relenting to the predictable formats that have gone before.
No track is more striking than the lead one, "I'll Fly Away." Starting with thumping upright bass and Morgan's superb vocal, the album becomes a front porch romp with beautiful slide guitar work and rich harmonies that bring the whole affair together. You simply have to hear this one yourself. "Just As I Am/I Come" gently settles on the senses with its tender refrain and subtle call. Morgan's sparse arrangement perfectly suits the lyrics.
Other favorites include "It Is Well" and "Jesus Joy/Sweet Hour of Prayer." Yet Morgan also brings some originals to the table, the strongest of which is "Worry." Phil Madeira's slide work evokes an earthen feel, and the layered harmonies on the refrain make it the album's other highlight. Morgan is in full control on this project, and her creative mastery of the material makes this perhaps the best hymns project ever released.

Petraeus & Promiscuity as a National Security Threat
Never mind the fast-approaching fiscal cliff. As per usual, a good political sex scandal is enough to take our eyes off the road.
In other countries, France being the most oft-cited example, a politician's extra-marital affairs barely merit an eyebrow raise from citizens. But we Americans are notoriously prudish – the revelation that a public official is diddling someone other than his spouse is headline news and inevitably involves some sort of public excoriation, resignation, even impeachment.
In Petraeus' case no laws were broken. Nor is there any evidence that he shared state secrets with his lover, or that such information was otherwise exposed. Yet some say Petraeus was right to step down, claiming his affair with biographer Paula Broadwell made him vulnerable to blackmail, the assumption being that fear of the fallout is so great that even the most honorable public servants might be willing to trade state secrets to keep an affair quiet.
That is quite an assumption.
Has it occurred to anyone that the amount of leverage our enemies have over philanderous public officials depends on how much their philandering matters to the public? Apparently not. Sure, nobody wants the details of their sex life to become the talk of the town. But the length to which one will go to keep that sort of information quiet depends on what a person stands to lose if it gets out.
The average adulterer risks his or her marriage. But because we Americans are prudish hypocrites, politically elite adulterers are putting their jobs, public reputation, and legacy on the line when they cheat, making them far more vulnerable to sexual blackmail, and disrupting the continuity of government every time an otherwise effective leader is forced to step down because he couldn't keep it in his pants.
If an extra-marital affair is a serious threat to national security, it is a threat of our own making. After all, you can't blackmail someone with a "secret" nobody cares to know.
Here's an idea, why don't we start focusing more on whether our leaders are good at their jobs than on their sex lives.

My mother always said...
if you don't have anything nice to say...
Oh wait, but my mom doesn't read this site (I bet you didn't think an apocalyptic goatman would have a mother. She doesn't get out much, granted, but she does exist (she most sews)) so I can go ahead and do a bit of observin' on our lowly Cubs.
Did we not learn anything from last year? I know Dusty was asleep at the helm, but what about everyone else? The last two games we have had zero (0!) hits with men in scoring position and have relied on the homer and nothing else. (sound familiar?) It is enough to make me want to stress eat (well, almost enough). But hey, don't look at me; I may have been responsible for tuesday's lack of runs, but I had no otherworldly influence on yesterday's game. So back off, buddy.
That wasn't even the worst of it. The most painful part of the game was watching Dubois and Hairston rot on the bench while Neifi and Macias rotted at the plate (sure Macias got a hit...shut up). Why did they even bring them up with the team if Dusty has no plans to use them as pinch hitters? They just should have come north with 14 pitchers (oo, Dusty got a little excited by that idea). So far in these three games, Dubois has 1 at bat, and 1 hit. That averages out to 54 AB's over the course of the season (but 54 hits too, which would be nice), or less AB's than your average pitcher. Hairston? Two AB's. It's just astounding that Baker can't see that Macias and Perez are his two worst players...it is like he has some sort of Tony LaRussa complex (which may be a strain of Herpes, I'm not sure. Pestilance?).
Okay, I have to pull back. This has taken on the form of an incoherent rant with short choppy sentences and a distinct lack of stylistic flow. Nobody likes a rant. Nobody (well, some people do).
Anyway, the Cubs get their day off (they must be exhausted) and will be bringing their big-ol'-bag of suck home to the Friendly Confines. Hopefully they can all swing a few slump busters and break out of this early season funk.
More than zero - Todd Hollandsworth's 3-run home run in game 2 came with men in scoring position.
Yes, and also the three run homer in yesterday's game. However, aside from the homers the Cubs seem to be in the old suits of last season of not getting the boys to home plate. There were lots of Cubs on bases yesterday and not much in the way of rounding third.
I know I know. it's only been three games. shut up.
Oh, sure, that's real fair. Well, if you are going to come at me with "facts" and "numbers" and "logic" than I'm taking my blog and going home. Famine on you.
I guess what I was try to note was the striking similarity to last year. All we heard about was how this was going to be a different year, and I am just wanting to see some sort of progress
George Davidson
If the only difference this year compared to last year is 4 more wins, we'll be in playoffs. I'd prefer to watch the club singling and doubling teams to death, but I like winning more than anything. Keep the faith. At least until May,
It IS concerning that Dusty likes Jose and Neifi more than Jerry and Jason. It's also concerning that, when trailing, the Cubs batters neglected to shorten their swings and try for singles and doubles. How many blasts that end at the warning track will have to be hit before the team follows through on the promise of creating runs, rather than relying on the homer?
It's too early to push the big, red panic button, but it's never too early to worry. But, I feel confident that Wood and Zambrano will right the ship against Milwaukee.
Runs? I'll tell you about runs. Why, in my day we didn't need no namby pampy home runs. No siree bob! Why, one time Ernie Banks went to the plate and used Ron Santo's leg to bunt a man over to third. Did you hear Ron crying about it? No you did not mister and this was while Ron's leg was still attached! Why, I remember a game when the cubs bunted 27 times in a row...and lost 15-0 but that was BASEBALL! This current team can score runs I bet. Look, Patterson leads off and sticks his head in the path of a fast ball. He goes to first but a fight breaks out and when nobody is looking he drags is partially paralized body to second. Dusty quickly changes his lineup, without the upms noticing this time, and sends in a pinch crawler. When the game resumes who should step out of the dugout but one, George, the Baron, Mitterwald! Pandemonium breaks out and the pinch crawler goes to third. Mitterwald at the plate. He takes a mighty swing and bounces the ball off the plate 50 feet in the air. The run scores.
I'm saying this is a reasonable blueprint for success that Dusty just doesn't seem to grasp!
Miss Fantastick
All of this is a repeat of last year. The only game so far that I've seen where the Cubs got more than 4 runs of of hits was game no. 1! AND THAT WAS IT!!
And since when is Kerry Wood going to get the ship going? The whole staff is held by Zambrano. Dempster sucks, Wood is ok(meaning only when he's healthy), Prior is supposedly injured(you'd assume that's why he's on the DL, but such isn't the case, they need roster room so Hendry can watch Dempster in his roster spot).
Basically, from an apocalyptic view.....
The ship is in harbor, but soon will prevail through a Viking funeral.
I like the big ol' bag-of-suck. I know have another new word in my vocab.

Media release
21 September 2009
Guidelines are now available for small grants to support local environmental and land management work, after the Rudd Government established a new $5 million program.
The Community Action Grants program, through Caring for our Country, was announced recently in response to feedback from community groups.
It is expected to provide around 500 grants of between $5,000 and $20,000 to support smaller, local projects run by groups such as Landcare and Coastcare, as well as Indigenous groups.
The grants are designed to support some groups which have not yet received funding under Caring for our Country.
Eligible community groups may include:
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Tony Burke and Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts Peter Garrett said community groups carried out invaluable work in local areas.
Projects may include tree planting, revegetation, dune rehabilitation, field days and natural resource management in remote and northern Australia.
The application form for the Community Action Grants has been simplified to make it easier for community groups to apply.
Applications will be available on-line from 1 October 2009 and due by 22 October 2009.

Nike Zoom KD III (3) – White – Black – Team Orange
November 23rd, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
Here's a clear case of perfect timing. Not necessarily in Kevin Durant's return to the Oklahoma City Thunder's active roster on Monday night (Russell Westbrook and co. proved they can do alright for themselves without the Durantula in a couple of key road wins), but rather, a detailed look at Durant's third signature in a colorway he debuted last night. The Nike Zoom KD III is pictured above in a white/black based colorup that nicely compliment's OKC's home jerseys. This Ford Center colorup features just enough orange and yellow accents to tie in with the Thunder logo, and you can see a bunch of new photos after the jump. via Taobao

Clarksville police are looking for a man two teens say pulled a weapon during a road rage incident Sunday.
The victims reported the incident started in the Walmart parking lot on Madison Street.
The teens said they were driving through the parking lot when they came upon a driver stopped in the roadway.
One of the teens told a 911 dispatcher that the man's hazard lights were on and they drove around him.
When they did, the man flew into a rage and started chasing the two drivers.
"This guy just freaked out," one of the drivers told a dispatcher. "He almost hit the back of my car and tried to push me off the road."
The teen driver's friend was in a separate car and also being harassed by the angry driver.
"He is trying to wreck me," that driver said. "He just swerved on me again and I had to swerve."
He continued, "I almost wrecked."
During the chase, the victim continued to give his location in the hopes a police officer would be able to stop the angry driver.
The suspect broke off his pursuit of one of the teens, but continued to chase the other.
That is when the victim who was no longer being chased by the suspect told dispatchers he was armed.
"I have a black Buick with a guy with a gun chasing after a friend of mine," the teen told the dispatcher. "I really need someone to get over here ASAP."
The chase continued up and down State Route 76 in Clarksville near Madison Street for about 10 minutes before the man left the area.
No one was injured in the incident.
The suspect is described as a man of mixed ethnicity. He was wearing a black flat-billed baseball cap.
His car is described as a black older model Buick with a missing headlight.
Anyone with information about the man's identity or whereabouts is urged to call the Clarksville Police Department's tips line at 931-645-8477.

Out where the wall ends, everything they once knew is returning to the earth.

Out where the wall ends, everything they once knew is returning to the earth.

The Portable Wonder Chamber - salt, bones, and the residue of all that returned to the Philosophers' Table
4000 books and 23 square meters of living turf growing in the great hall of the Castle Keep, Newcastle
There Are Gods Beneath Our Feet - the culmination of my year in residence with the Society of Antiquaries.
Archive an installation by Dawn Felicia Knox featuring the Book Apothecary currently on display at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts
A strange structure grew and curved under a bridge in the Ouseburn, Newcastle one Monday night. What began as a temporary book shelter changed with each book laid, spine out to the street, camouflaging against the red of the brick. It rose up chest height like a breastwork, a trench, a bunker. From the street it nearly disappeared but between the white belly of the books and the rough bridge wall was enough space to shelter.
In the morning it was gone.
Dawn Felicia Knox's contribution to Book Borrowers explore the nature of books, articulating the way they take up physical space while affording the mental space for understanding, refuge and transformation. She has created a monument in Everything They Knew the Year My Mother Was Born which is a collection of Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1951, the year of her mother's birth. She has further used books as building blocks to create a temporary structure which mirrors a military breastwork, a fortification to protect from advancing soldiers. This is the second in a series which stands to confront the closure of libraries and the defunding of art and culture. Papier-mâché birds, made from a damaged volume of The War Illustrated, rise up from the temporary sculpture appearing to fly into the gallery.
The Book Borrowers is currently on display at The Crown Street Gallery.
The Forgetting Curve
A forgetting curve is the opposite of learning curve
it is the rate at which we forget,
the curve we follow as knowledge falls away.
Hundreds of rolled plans hand draw with great attention and care were left to come down with the building. These plans once were the hallmark of drafting before computer aided drafting became the expected form. Intrigued by these now archaic plans and their specialized language of symbols and shapes, I brought them from the factory by the arm full.
You see, after 90 years of continual fit and fix the factory had been abandoned. Tools were left to rust. Plans to pool dust. The rafters had given way to pigeons. I was invited in to make artwork about it all before it was demolished.
In my studio I unrolled the plans and then began to rip. I turned them to birds and the egg shells - the elevator shaft of Northern Rock becoming wing, the butcher case of Dickinson's an egg. I took them, both made birds and eggs, into the factory to photograph them.
Later, in the gallery I laid out the plans across of opened ladders taken from the belly of the shop fitters stringing the birds and nestling the eggs around the curve of the stacked plans. I recreated the building as it was left; pitched roof lines originally for maximized space and light now given away to the birds.
Then I photographed it all, printed the images on the plans and bound them. The handmade book is featured in The Sunderland Book Project.
The original project, Site Verify, was a dialogue about community, identity and regeneration created by Dawn Felicia Knox and funded by Arts Council England.
All is changing, transforming. Each time we interact with a book we mark it, change it, transform it. The oils of fingers on the page yellow and thin. Threads loosen with each reading. Bindings crack. Breath combines with trace metals caught in the pulp of the paper turning them to rust, leaving marks, foxing. A hand must work constantly to keep things appearing the same – ever stitching, ever mending.
Or the hand could hasten the transformation - turn page to wing, set it to flight.
Flux is my contribution to The Book Apothecary and featured in the Mouseion exhibition which is currently on display at the University of Leicester in the School of Museum Studies
Maps, letters, lenses and a Venus figure are among the objects filling this case. Some were taken from the archives of the Great North Museum, other saved from the skip and a few made by the artist's hand. Which is art and which is artefact? Which has value? To whom? These are just a few of the questions being explored in this work.
Into the Curious by Dawn Felicia Knox runs until September 23, 2012 at The Great North Museum: Hancock
It began with a hunger, a split rib and spinning, always spinning….
The myth behind this work will be told as part of the storytelling evening at the Great North Museum on Wednesday September 5th from 7pm.

Three Stocks for Long-Term Income Investors
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated to correctly reflect Darden Restaurants' dividend.
I like to search for great businesses that have high probability of delivering decent long-term results for patient investors. In the past 10 years, these companies have paid uninterrupted dividends for shareholders. They offer investors juicy dividends at more than a 3% yield. Moreover, those businesses are not priced expensively on the market. In this article, I will reveal three stocks that possess similar characteristics in the consumer cyclical sector.
A tasty restaurant
Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) is considered one of the world's biggest full-service restaurant operators, with more than 2,100 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada under several brands including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze. In the third quarter 2013, Darden experienced a 4.5% increase in revenue to $2.26 billion. However, the earnings came in at $134.4 million, or $1.04 per share, lower than the net income of $164.1 million, or $1.28 per share in the third quarter last year. The lower net income was due to the higher costs of sales, higher depreciation and amortization and a bit higher interest expense.
Looking forward, Darden expects to have the sales growth of around 6% to 7% and around 105 net new restaurants additions in this year. Its diluted earnings were estimated to stay around $3.06 to $3.22 per share in full year 2013.
Darden stays on top of the list with the juiciest dividend yield. At $52.60 per share, Darden is worth nearly $6.9 billion. The market does not value it at a premium, at around 8.83 times EV/EBITDA. Income investors might love Darden because of its high dividend yield at 3.9%. Darden was famous to be a consistent dividend-paying company. Since 2003, its dividend has risen from $0.08 per share to $2.00 per share.
EV/EBITDA (Enterprise Value/EBITDA) is quite an efficient ratio which incorporates the cash flow position and the leverage position of the company. It's formula is Enterprise Value = Market Cap - Cash + Debt, so the company which uses a lot of leverage might have small price/earnings ratio but high EV/EBITDA due to high enterprise value.
Children's toys could be a win for investors
Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS), is known for its famous children's products with several brand names including Transformers, My Little Pony and Baby Alive. It has four main business segments: U.S. and Canada, International, Entertainment and Licensing, and Global Operations. The majority of its revenue, $2.12 billion, was generated from the U.S. and Canada segment. The International segment ranked second with $1.78 billion in sales while the Entertainment and Licensing contributed more than $181.4 million in revenue in 2012.
Recently, Hasbro announced a strategic partnership with World Trade Jewelers so that World Trade Jewelers could design jewelry based on Hasbro's popular games. Murray Shabot showed the excitement about the collaboration:
"Hasbro's branded properties are legendary and proving extremely popular within our jewelry creations. Consumers of all age groups immediately recognize the Candy Land, Scrabble and My Little Pony iconography, and will now be able to wear their favorite designs and themes within our licensed jewelry collections."
In the past 10 years, Hasbro has managed to consistently grow its dividend, from $0.12 per share to $1.74 per share. It is trading at around $44.80 per share, with the total market cap of $5.8 billion. The market values Hasbro at a reasonable valuation, at 8.16 times EV/EBITDA. The company offers its shareholders a nice dividend yield at 3.6%.
Hasbro might deliver a good improvement in its EPS due to its cost-savings initiative of around $100 million in annual savings by 2015. For the full year 2013, Hasbro expected to have around $45 - $48 million in gross savings and the net savings of $13-$15 million.
This media company is cheap
Gannett (NYSE: GCI), a leader in international media and marketing solutions, is the owner of several iconic brands including USA TODAY and CareerBuilder. It operates in three main business segments: publishing, digital and broadcasting. Most of its revenue, $3.73 billion, or 70% of the total revenue, was generated from the publishing segment while digital and broadcasting contributed $719 million and $906 million, respectively, in operating income. What I like about Gannett is its broadcasting business, with the highest operating margin. The publishing segment delivered only a 9.9% margin, while the operating margin of the broadcasting segment was nearly 49%.
Looking forward, I think that Gannett could be a good activist target with the separation of the highly profitable broadcasting segment from the other two business segments.
Gannett has paid shareholders uninterrupted but fluctuating dividends in the past 10 years. In 2012, the dividend stayed at $0.80 per share. At $20.80 per share, Gannett is worth $4.76 billion on the market. The market values Gannett at only around 5.55 times EV/EBITDA. The dividend yield is quite high, at 3.7%.
My Foolish take
All of those three companies above could fit well in investors' long-term income portfolios. With juicy dividend yields, uninterrupted dividend-paying records, and low valuation, there will be a high probability that those three companies will deliver a nice total return for shareholders in the long run.

A rare breed
Trucker: Everett Falconer, 63, of Cambridge Springs, Pa.
Family: Wife, one daughter, one son, four grandchildren
Truck: 1995 International
Leased to: Hot Shot Express, Spring City, Pa.
Freight: All kinds
Accident-free: 10+ years
Income: $35,000 to $40,000
Motto: My driving priorities are: me first, my truck second and freight third
Everett Falconer of Cambridge Springs, Pa., spends his weekdays running an engine and his weekends trying to get one to run. A self-described car nut, Falconer owns seven of the 435 Kaisers made in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The rarity of the cars is exactly what the veteran trucker likes about his chosen antiques.
"You see Fords and Chevys on every street corner," Falconer says. "I like stuff that's different."
Falconer's appreciation for doing things differently may explain his late entrance into the trucking industry. A former high school electronics teacher, Falconer first began driving a truck when he was more than 50 years old.
"The vo-tech program I was teaching was closed, so I began looking for work," Falconer says. "At the time, there was really nothing going on in the area, so I looked into trucking. I asked people in the business, 'What are my chances at my age?' and they all said, 'No problem.'"
Falconer's dispatchers at Hot Shot Express say he goes out of his way to help when they have a problem.
"If we're ever stuck and need a load covered, even if he doesn't want to, he'll do it," says Tony Coccia, Hot Shot Express operations director. "He knows how to survive and thrive in the company. He's definitely the model owner-operator; he's top-notch."
Having leased to Hot Shot since 1993, the Pennsylvania native adheres to several rules that helped him become Hot Shot's Driver of the Year for 2001. He avoids driving at night, puts his personal safety above everything, practices courtesy at all times and understands the need for communication among drivers, customers and dispatchers.
"When he's available for business and we call him, he answers," Coccia says. "We appreciate everything he's done on a communication level."
Work is not the only place Falconer strives to keep communication lines open. Falconer says he tries to keep his 1995 International parked on weekends.
"Out of seven and a half years, I've missed maybe eight weekends at home, and some of those times my wife was with me," Falconer says.
Louella, Falconer's wife of 41 years, keeps his books and sometimes accompanies him on hauls that they turn into vacations. Falconer also spends down time with his two children and four grandchildren.

Gear Gods — the only online destination for musicians in the heavy music community — live-streamed the fifth annual "Metal Masters" clinic last night (Wednesday, January 22) from the Anaheim, California House Of Blues.
The "Metal Masters 5″ lineup was loaded with a star-studded cast of metal musicians. As in years past, the show started with a brief clinic offering some tips and tricks, and ended with an all-star jam session of metal cover songs.
Performers included:
* Kerry King (SLAYER)
* Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX)
* Frank Bello (ANTHRAX)
* Scott Ian (ANTHRAX)
* David Ellefson (MEGADETH)
* Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG)
* Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, THE WINERY DOGS)
* Gary Holt (EXODUS, SLAYER)
* Chris Broderick (MEGADETH)
* Philip Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN)
* Rex Brown (KILL DEVIL HILL, PANTERA, DOWN)
* Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT)
* Steve Vai
The following songs were performed, among others:
* "Wrathchild" (IRON MAIDEN)
* "Killers" (IRON MAIDEN)
* "God Of Thunder" (KISS)
* "Sargent D And The S.O.D." (STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH)
* "Freddy Krueger" (STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH)
* "Strength Beyond Strength" (PANTERA)
* "I'm Broken" (PANTERA)
* "Postmortem" (SLAYER)
* "Raining Blood" (SLAYER)
* "Mouth For War" (PANTERA)
* "Mandatory Suicide" (SLAYER)
* "Five Minutes Alone" (PANTERA)
* "South Of Heaven" (SLAYER)
* "Angel Of Death" (SLAYER)
* "Fucking Hostile" (PANTERA)
"'Metal Masters' started out as two bassists teaching a clinic and has gone on to become a spectacle that includes some of the greatest musicians that defined a genre," says Samson's director of marketing and "Metal Masters" founder, Mark Menghi. "What better way to learn, than seeing these amazing performers up close and personal teaching their own personal techniques of the trade. 'Metal Masters' has always been about doing something special for the fans and that will never go away."
King previously stated about his motivation for taking part in "Metal Masters": "The reason I still do it to this day is to get Phil involved, because I think the world misses him. He's good at what he does and I'm one of the few guys he looks up to to the point where he'd come out and do it. And I'm not blowing sunshine up my ass; it's just a fact. And everybody wants to see Phil. Everybody loves Phil. When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead; they're not expecting it. And it's cool."
In a recent interview with Full Metal Jackie, Anselmo stated about performing PANTERA songs at "Metal Masters": "I'm up there with guys that I've known since the '80s who have a good five, six years on me of playing music and being successful, people that I looked up to and still look up to… The thing is just being up there with those guys is overwhelming enough, but then playing the PANTERA songs, don't get me wrong, it feels great, it feels fantastic, and it does bring me back to a very powerful place, a very unique place in history. I guess, growing up and cuttin' my chops and growing up with the guys in PANTERA, we always played with a chip on our shoulder and you get that rush of memory when you're up there doing it, but it's a lot of emotions balled up into one, but they're all pretty damn good. For me, the most fun thing about it of all is just seeing the fan reaction. I've always said that PANTERA fans were the best in the world, and I truly meant that and I still mean it. That's why 'Metal Masters' keeps the pulse of the whole thing going."
Speaking to Artisan News prior to the "Metal Masters 4″ event in September 2012, Sheehan and the other musicians spoke about what it was like for Billy to come in and play heavier stuff than he is used to.
"I've been prepped," said Sheehan. "And it's great. I actually love it. It's like being on another planet. It's like an adventure into another land, and it's really cool. It's challenging to play this stuff."
Added Bello: "It's great seeing [Billy] come into this world, and step up as he did. I mean, Billy Sheehan is playing [chuckles] he's playing SLAYER and EXODUS tonight — without a pick. Just think about those lines right there. He totally kicks ass in it, too. The guy stepped up to it, and you can't ask for more than that. So for these kids, seeing a treat like that, man, it's a good time."
Said Holt: "[If you had told me that] this guy here [pointing at Billy], who is one of the greatest musicians in rock history, would be standing there watching my fingers as I'm playing [EXODUS's song] 'Piranha', I would havee called you a stone-faced liar and said, 'Get outta here!'"

According to GossipExtra.com, prosecutors have dropped a domestic violence charge against former ANTHRAX guitarist Dan Spitz in connection with his Christmas morning arrest in Florida.
Dan's alleged victim, his wife Candi Spitz, asked the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office not to pursue a case against her husband and told them there were minor discrepancies on the incident report.
The 50-year-old musician was arrested at he couple's home in Lake Worth, Florida when Candi's mother called 911 to report he was trying to choke his wife.
"I'm not planning on pursuing this in court," Candi, 38, told GossipExtra.com at the time. "This was a big misunderstanding. My mom should've never called 911."
She added: "[Dan and I] were separated for a week last year, and Christmas Eve was the first anniversary.
"The stress level at home has been astronomical. Our children are both autistic and Dan may have early onset Parkinson's Disease.
"We were all drinking wine, and he just snapped."
According to Candi, the confrontation happened when her husband started packing her bags, and she stood in his way.
"No matter what's in the police report," Candi said, "he never hit me or tried to harm me. He did shove me, and unfortunately I bruised my shoulder.
"But come on: He's 5 feet tall and 100 pounds all wet. And I kick box. He could never harm me if he tried."
Dan Spitz is a born-again Christian and Messianic Jew and in interviews has frequently cited his faith as an influential component to his life.
Spitz took part in the reunion of ANTHRAX's classic lineup in 2005 and 2006 but left the band after ANTHRAX's most recent split with singer Joey Belladonna.
With ten acts already announced, including headliners THE PRODIGY, IRON MAIDEN & METALLICA, SONISPHERE has revealed ten more bands that will join the 2014 line up.
The inimitable LIMP BIZKIT return to Knebworth as special guests to THE PRODIGY. One of the biggest bands to emerge from the Nu-Metal scene of the 90s, LIMP BIZKIT's insanely catchy and infectious rock has amassed them millions of album sales and the accolade of fastest selling rock album ever with "Chocolate Starfish & The Hotdog Flavored Water". However, it is the live environment in which they truly shine – their upcoming sold out tour of the UK bears testament to that – and the prospect of mega hits like "Rollin", "Nookie", "My Generation" and "Gold Cobra" will provide the perfect warm up to the Friday night headliners at this exclusive festival appearance.
For 30 plus years, ANTHRAX have headbanged, stomped and moshed their way to the top end of the metal food chain, selling in excess of 10 million records, enjoying multiple Gold and Platinum albums and Grammy nominations, firmly cementing their position as one of THE BIG 4. Fast, furious and above all, fun, it just wouldn't be SONISPHERE without ANTHRAX, who have graced the stage of every UK SONISPHERE to date, and continue the tradition to dose out the metal thrashing madness at their only UK festival of 2014.
Also CARNIFEX, who join this year's line up for their first ever UK festival appearance. Last seen in the UK on the NEVER SAY DIE tour, where they punished audiences with their extremely brutal and superfast intensity, these San Diegans should enjoy a welcome return as they dish out the deathcore destruction at their first major UK festival.
n stark contrast to the chaos of CARNIFEX, SONISPHERE continues to uphold its tradition of keeping the line up wide, varied and with the odd cheeky surprise by welcoming CHAS & DAVE to the bill. The last time the legendary duo graced the stage at KNEBWORTH was in 1979, opening for Led Zeppelin. Since then, their love of genuine Rock'n'Roll, proudly cockney vocals and exuberant good humour has seen them become a household name across the country. Thirty-five years later, CHAS & DAVE's appeal has never been greater or more varied, with audiences getting younger and new bands citing them as a major influence. The ultimate party hosts, the promise of a good ol' knees up and sing along at KNEBWORTH will ensure the kind of magical moments festivals were invented for.
Truly one of a kind, DEVIN TOWNSEND is a natural born visionary, artist and entertainer and one of the most uniquely insightful musicians of the 21st Century. Over 20 years, he has given the world metal faves Strapping Young Lad and the best puppet show the world has ever seen in Ziltoid The Omniscient, not to mention the incredible works recorded under his own name. In 2012 he brought these all together for the first time for Devin's Retinal Circus at a sold out London Roundhouse for the most ambitious show of his career. Now he brings the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT to SONISPHERE for his biggest UK performance to date.
Celtic punks DROPKICK MURPHYS make their way over from the state of Massachusetts for their SONISPHERE debut. Arguably one of the biggest genuine punk bands out there, the 'MURPHYS continue to surprise industry pundits by outdrawing high profile mainstream acts as headliners on major tours around the globe. With anthems such as "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya", "Rose Tattoo" and "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" – which provided the soundtrack to Hollywood smash The Departed – DROPKICK MURPHYS will no doubt have fists pumping and glasses raised high.
In 2011 SONISPHERE proudly boasted THE SISTERS OF MERCY's first festival performance in 20 years. The result was a rammed to the rafters BOHEMIA, as Andrew Eldritch and his not so merry men gave spectators a late night feast of THE SISTERS' unclassifiable blend of rock, pop, punk, dance and psychedelia. A rare occurrence, SONISPHERE is honoured and privileged to welcome back THE SISTERS OF MERCY for their only UK festival of 2014.
Post hardcore mob SILVERSTEIN join SONISPHERE 2014. Since their formation in 2000, the Canadian five-piece has become as close to a household name as you can get in the post-hardcore scene.
In 2011 THE VIRGINMARYS appeared on the SONISPHERE line up as an unsigned three-piece from Macclesfield. Fast forward three years and they are now considered one of this country's brightest rock hopes.
Last but by no means least, London classic metallers VOODOO SIX join the 2014 line up. Releasing their latest album "Songs To Invade Countries To" in May of last year, VOODOO SIX spent the remainder of 2013 doing what any band with a new album would do, touring the hell out of it. However, the five-piece were in a slightly more enviable position than most, having the good fortune to play 28 shows in 18 countries to 300,000 people with SONISPHERE headliners IRON MAIDEN.
Early Bird Weekend tickets for Sonisphere 2014 are on sale now priced at £170 (limited availability). The highly popular deposit scheme will also be running from now until April, meaning fans will be able to reserve their tickets for an initial payment of just £50. Check the Sonisphere website for further details.
All Campsites open Thursday.

Candi Spitz, the wife of former ANTHRAX guitarist Dan Spitz, says that she will not press charges against her husband for allegedly assaulting her Christmas morning.
The 50-year-old musician was arrested at he couple's home in Lake Worth, Florida when Candi's mother called 911 to report he was trying to choke his wife.
"I'm not planning on pursuing this in court," Candi, 38, tells GossipExtra.com. "This was a big misunderstanding. My mom should've never called 911."
She adds: "[Dan and I] were separated for a week last year, and Christmas Eve was the first anniversary.
"The stress level at home has been astronomical. Our children are both autistic and Dan may have early onset Parkinson's Disease.
"We were all drinking wine, and he just snapped."
According to Candi, the confrontation happened when her husband started packing her bags, and she stood in his way.
"No matter what's in the police report," Candi says, "he never hit me or tried to harm me. He did shove me, and unfortunately I bruised my shoulder.
"But come on: He's 5 feet tall and 100 pounds all wet. And I kick box. He could never harm me if he tried."
Spitz spent the night in jail and was released early Thursday afternoon.
The couple, along with their 7-year-old twins, was spotted at Zoo Miami this afternoon, according to GossipExtra.com.
Dan Spitz is a born-again Christian and Messianic Jew and in interviews has frequently cited his faith as an influential component to his life.

According to Jose Lambiet's GossipExtra.com, former ANTHRAX and current RED LAMB guitarist Dan Spitz was arrested early Christmas morning at his house in Florida on suspicion of domestic violence.
The 50-year-old musician was picked up by Palm Beach County Sheriff deputies and booked in to the county jail about 5 a.m. after an argument with his wife of seven years, Candi.
According to the police report, Spitz and his wife — who have autistic twins — got into a physical confrontation at their Lake Worth home after drinking heavily on Christmas Eve. It is alleged that Dan wrapped his hands around Candi's neck and tried to choke her, leaving visible bruises on her neck.
The guitarist, who told the deputies that his wife assaulted him first, sustained scratches on his chest, neck and arms.
Candi's mother described Dan as "very aggressive" toward Candi and told deputies she heard her daughter scream, "I can't breathe." The mother did not witness the physical confrontation, which allegedly took place in the couple's bedroom.
The couple argued over another man that Candi dated when she and Spitz were briefly separated last year.
Spitz was released on his own recognizance yesterday afternoon.
For more information on Spitz's arrest, visit Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office booking blotter. (Full name: SPITZ, DANIEL ALAN; Booking date/time: December 25 at 4:54 a.m.)
Dan and his wife's twin sons were born in 2007 and both have since been diagnosed with autism. During that time, he has used his celebrity to help raise awareness about the disorder, particularly among those within the music community. Additionally, Spitz and his wife are strong supporters of Autism Speaks and have been featured in one of the organization's videos promoting its autism walks.
Dealing with autism hasn't been the only challenge Spitz has faced in recent years. In 2009, he underwent open-heart surgery to repair a main artery in his heart that was said to be "almost completely closed."
Spitz is a born-again Christian and Messianic Jew and in interviews has frequently cited his faith as an influential component to his life.
Spitz took part in the reunion of ANTHRAX's classic lineup in 2005 and 2006 but left the band after ANTHRAX's most recent split with singer Joey Belladonna.
RED LAMB's self-titled debut album was released in February 2012 via iTunes. The 12-song effort was co-produced by Dave Mustaine (MEGADETH) and Spitz and is described in a press release as "explosive hard rock, pop punk, alternative rock, with a taste of thrash."
ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante and his wife were arrested on July 27, 2012 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Elkhart, Indiana for domestic battery in front of a child. The drummer later issued a statement through his attorney claiming that he "was assaulted several times during an altercation that sent him to the emergency room with a gash at the back of his head that required several staples to close."

Look - an old "teatard" can be taught new tricks! Now please go lie down in the corner like a good little wingnut before you get too excited and bring on another attack...
Be honest with yourself now, you were looking in the mirror once again which manifested the attack I suppose... RCR attempting to stay off another bout/attack with turrets... However, the inevitable occurs, "IDIOT", head twitch, spew... "IDIOT", head twitch, spew..., the process repeats itself over and over (we've all read his entries)... Anyone notice the first letter in IDIOT - What is RCR trying to tell us all? How Ironic!!! LMAO!!!
Everything he (RCR) professes not to be HE IS and yet everything he professes to be he IS NOT!!! Which translated means He IS without a doubt the very definition of a hypocrite!
Pure hypocracy spewing from the lips of RCR! He and his ilk have been exposed once again and I doubt he/they even realize it... Nothing more than xenophobic, deprived, wingnut rhetoric... One can almost hear & feel the fear in his words...!!! His entries, contain so much color, so much exageration, so much imagination, so much fear, so much mis-information, a self portrait if you will - a self portrait he paints very well, a modern day Picasso of "sorts"!!!
RCR = Repeating Cowardly Rhetoric... seems to fit rather nicely!

Love this. Really pretty take on why the "rules" of web design shouldn't be taken as gospel.
This article talks about how the Seattle Times set up Facebook groups for high school alumni years (class of 2005, etc.) in order to gather people in one place and eventually mine them for info. Ostensibly these groups also became places where those people simply connected with each other. Given the explosion of VOA's Facebook event page for the Egypt elections as a place for Egyptians to connect and share (and vent), I wonder if news orgs should think harder about how to create these types spaces for people, not to milk them for info but just as a service to bring them together (although hopefully they won't mind if we tap them for participation every once in a while).
Further to the thoughts from last week (maybe slightly longer ago than that? anyone else have the feeling lately that time has lost all meaning?) about why no one's thinking harder about new ways to present information that aren't articles.
