Shakespeare's 400th birthday
On the 23rd of April it, will officially be 400 years since William Shakespeare's death. He is so important today as he has introduced 3000 words into the English language and written 37 plays. Here is a little bit of information about him:
Who is Shakespeare?
Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, and he died on the 23rd April 1616.He was only 52 when he died. That may seem young, but in the Tudor times, it was very old.
Shakespeare's parents were named John and Mary; they had eight children though many of them died young. Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway and had three children Susanna, Judith and Hamnet.
An interview with Dickon Tyrell, a Globe theatre actor
How does Shakespeare affect acting and plays today?
Shakespeare does put demands on an actor performing today , an actor needs tremendous vocal and physical energy to perform heightened language to 1500 people in an open air theatre.
Were Shakespeare's plays different 400 years ago?
Think of a modern theatre: dark, warm, scenery, ice cream and quiet audience. You would have had none of this in 1600.
Thank you very much, Dickon.
The Globe Theatre
The Globe was built in 1599 but got sadly burnt in 1613. It then got rebuilt on the same site in 1614 and closed in 1642.
It is famous for the amount of Shakespeare plays performed on its stage. There is now a new building attached to the theatre called the Sam Wanamaker theatre so that it can show even more plays.
The Globe is an open-air amphitheatre which means it is round and it has no roof! This means they can have natural sunlight.
Everyone used to visit The Globe in the Tudor times and they still do today.

US Presidential Election
The US presidential election takes place on Tuesday 8th November 2016, because Barack Obama will have finished his two terms of presidency. People all over the USA will vote for the candidate they want to win. The US Presidential Election is mainly a competition between Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
Before the presidential election in November, the parties will need to select their candidates. The main candidates for the Democratic Party are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, whereas for the Republican Party the leading candidates are Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
The Republicans generally believe in the free market (which has minimal rules), small governments that don't interfere in people's lives, increased spending on military issues, the death penalty, banning gay marriage, no public healthcare just private healthcare and that everyone should have the same tax rate no matter how low their income is.
The Democrats generally believe that gay marriage should be legal, there should be a decrease in military spending, the death penalty should be legal, there should be a minimum wage, you should get a different tax rate depending how much you earn, and there should be public healthcare for everyone.
When we asked Luke Espin, Head of R&D, at Westminster Briefing, "Who do you want to win and why? "He said 'I hope the Democratic Party candidate wins the election. American politics is very different to British politics where religion and social issues are far more important. I disagree with the Republicans Party's policies on gun control, abortion, access t
o free healthcare and tax cuts (to name a few). The Democrat Party's views are generally more similar to my own.'
However, 'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson is supporting Donald Trump in this year's election. He says "He's not afraid to tell it like it is. He's a friend of the Second Amendment . . . the man I'm standing behind to be the next President of the United States -- Donald Trump."
The outcome of this presidential race to the White House is yet to be revealed.
Reported by Christiana, Arthy, Emma and Sasha.
The candidates (L to R): Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders.
Barbie's birthday
On Wednesday 9th March 2016 Barbie Millicent Roberts celebrated her 57th birthday. The famous blonde will have a proper birthday party in Washington DC this summer.
However, Barbie has been raising the voice of the public lately, and it's not just about her birthday. The doll that has dominated the toy industry for more than a decade is now falling from grace.
The main reason is due to the shallow and false message the doll is sending to young, impressionable girls. Its figure is ridiculously thin and impossible for a healthy woman to achieve.
Doctors have diagnosed a condition called 'Barbie Syndrome.' This condition is found in adolescent girls. Its results are that girls become obsessed with trying to meet impossibly high standards of beauty set by toys.
But a doll company called Lammily have taken it into their own hands to create a doll that has a more realistic figure.
However, an interview with Michaela Lenartova shows Barbie in a different light.
She says that Barbie has a positive effect on her and that it deserves to be celebrated.
As Meghan Trainor quoted in her hit song 'All About That Bass', "I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll."
In short, it is alright to like Barbie dolls and they should be celebrated, just don't let them have too much of an impact on your life.

Stratford: The Olympic Legacy
With the Rio Olympics around the corner, we will be reporting on the legacy of the previous one: The Olympic Games which were held in London, Stratford.
Before The Olympic Games came to Stratford it was a place overflowing with rubbish. Such as one of its most iconic eye sores, Fridge Mountain, a 20 foot tall pile of discarded fridges. The Olympics helped to refurbish and rebrand Stratford, making it more of a place to visit.
We interviewed Hayden Arrowsmith who helped out with the London 2012 Games.
Q: How do you think the Olympics has improved London?
A: The addition of new sports facilities, venues and stadiums in and around London has been a huge boost to the sports community. There is now also the Olympic Stadium, velodrome and aquatics centre in the east of London which can host, and have hosted many large-scale sports events since London 2012.
Q: And what about the legacy for young people wanting to thrive in sports?
A: It is hoped that by London hosting the Olympics a new generation of children and young people will have been inspired to either continue sport, or try something new and get involved.
In the same way, The Olympics changed Stratford it will most definitely change Rio. More people even if they never thought of going to Rio will want to visit there to see the Olympic Stadium.

International Women's Day
On Tuesday 8th March it was International Women's Day.
The Cause
International Women's Day is a celebration of women worldwide. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements. We also celebrate it to raise awareness about women's equality to men. This day gives women a voice.
This year's theme
The theme for this year is planet 50-50 by 2030: Step it Up for Gender Equality. This means that the full gender gap can close by 2030 at the earliest.
The Meaning of Feminist
Anyone can be a feminist: Men or Women. Being a feminist means that you believe that women's rights are important. It means you support gender equality. As Hanna Retallack said, being a feminist is beneficial for everyone. Some women would like to do jobs that men do but they can't as some people perceive them to be weak. Some people perceive men to be strong people all the time and this can be stressful for men.
What did Blackheath High do to celebrate?
To celebrate International Women's Day Blackheath High School have interviewed many students and Hanna Retallack who is studying for a Ph.D. in feminism in schools.
Many students believed that the cause of International Women's Day is vital. A quote from Elizabeth (A sixth form student who attends feminist society.): "Every day should be International Women's Day."
"Some girls cannot go to school because of the child labor and child trafficking"

EU Referendum
Daisy, Anouk, Haamidah and Evie
The EU referendum is taking place on the 23rd of June. Everyone in Britain that is 18 and older will get the chance to vote on whether or not Britain should leave the European Union.
The reason this is happening is because in 1973 Britain joined the European Union and then in 1975 Britain held a Referendum on whether or not Britain should stay a member. Staying won the vote as it was voted 2:1 to stay. Ever since then people have wanted to leave for a number or different reasons.
Of course, many questions arise from this decision, as Luke Espin, Head of Research and Development at Westminster Briefing said 'Whether or not there will be fewer opportunities and travel options is hard to say. The remaining campaigners are saying that the EU are our biggest trading partners. We would still have to follow their rules, but if we leave, we wouldn't get a say in the rules. Everyone we interviewed wanted to stay part of the EU.'
It is unlikely that conflict will arise, since all the countries in Europe rely on each other's supplies.
We are dependent on the other EU countries for trade and security. Most European countries are in the NATO which means if a country starts a war with them all the other countries in the NATO (including America) will be on their side.
One major change in the longer term is that it might mean that it is harder for people from other EU countries to come and live and work in the UK and harder for British people to live and work in other EU countries.
Some people working in the UK are part of EU companies, for example, the European medicine agency. If Britain leaves, they will have to move countries because of their work.
It will be held on the 23rd June 2016.
We speak to Dr Hannah Espin (Junior Doctor) about what the government should do to stop Junior Doctors from striking.
Junior doctors go on another 48-hour strike.
Over 5,000 operations or treatments have been cancelled.
Dr Hannah Espin speaks about what the government needs to do to stop the strikes.
On Wednesday, Junior doctors had started a 48-hour strike. Over 5,000 operations or treatments have already been cancelled .
For those of you that are not sure of what Junior Doctors are: They are doctors that are still training to become 'Professional' doctors and are new to being a doctor.
The whole cause of the striking is because the amount of money the Junior doctors get paid and they say they are given too long shifts to work which is unfair and dangerous for the patients.
Dr Hannah Espin has told us: "The government need to return to the negotiating table regarding the contract and scrap the forced imposition. The first strike planned was actually called off by the BMA as the government agreed to enter talks with ACAS.
The step to then proceed to imposition was rash and was not supported by senior clinicians within the NHS as the government claims, this only served to inflame tensions further.
I also feel the problem now runs deeper than just the contracts. Junior doctors and NHS staff are feeling demoralized from years of giving constantly to the system with getting little in return."

The 2016 Oscars have been said to have been racist and that only white people were nominated.
For example Chris Rock also agrees with this statement as he opened this Oscars with a joke that read "I'm standing here at the Academy Award, otherwise known as the white people choice awards, you realize if they nominated hosts I wouldn't have got this job."
Halle Berry is the first black actress to have won an award for best actress.
Because of this, people on social media are now using the
Hashtag OscarsSoWhite and this implies that a majority of the Oscar award winning actors are white.
For the last two years, only white people have been nominated for the top four categories
Only two Asian people have won an Oscar out of a total of fifteen nominations

Tim Peake has settled into space for his Mission Principia Mathematica. He set off on Tuesday 15th December 2015 for the journey to space. He is scheduled to return on the 5th of June 2015.
Tim Peake was born on the 7th of April 1975. His wife Rebecca Peake was touched when she found out that Tim took a picture of his two sons up to space.
Tim was elected by the European Space Agency in 2009. His hobbies includes going to space, helicopters – sky, cross-country – land, scuba-diving – sea, tunnels which is underground. So therefore he is an all-rounder in the world.
Tim Peake is a former British Army Air Officer. But now he is a European Space Agency astronaut and international space station crew member.
He had to learn to speak Russian as part of his mission which he said made him want to walk out of the door. Every single detail of his six hour spacewalk has been planned which implies a lot of effort had been put into the mission.
The International Space Station (ISS) is worth £150 000 000 000. Some people has decided it is a waste of money, and worry if they don't find anything there but then we will find out on the 5th of June – which is of course his return.

'Bugsy Malone' is being performed at the Greenwich Theatre in London, by students of Blackheath High on Monday 14th March 2016. Tickets cost £10 plus £1 booking fee. We got a close look into what makes the actual play by interviewing the director, musical director and an actor who is playing a role in the play.
The play is about two rival gangs who own what they call 'splurge guns', but you will have to watch the play to find out more!
Whilst interviewing the director, Mrs Tyrrell, she said that a hard thing about it being performed at the Greenwich theatre is that they have to practise in the schools theatre but then having to move and practise in the Greenwich theatre at the times they have available.
The brand new 'splurge guns' were specially opened today and we were lucky enough to see them in action for the first time! It was also the first time the school had the gadgets opened!
The play is also a musical and we got an insight into one of the songs as one of the actors especially performed one of the songs for us. Mrs Gunton, the Director of Music said that she really enjoyed the jazzy type songs and the way some songs reflect on the different character's personalities.
We also interviewed, Monique, an actor from the play, who told us her character is mean, harsh and a follower. This gave us an idea of what the characters are like in the play.
We hope you can go and watch!

September 13th marks the 100th birthday of Roald Dahl, one of the world's most famous authors.
Roald Dahl's 100th birthday is being celebrated all over the globe, especially at the Southbank Centre, London.
The Southbank Centre are holding an exhibition about Dahl called 'The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl', exploring the creation of the books, from the original manuscripts to the first published copies.
Our reporter Shelley got tickets into the exhibition, but was asked not give any information about what was inside, however described it as 'interesting, and truly wondercrump'.
We did, however get to interview Tamsin and Kate, the curators of the exhibition:
'We set up Wondercrump because three years ago we were noticed by The Roald Dahl Association for our great exhibitions and were given the honour of creating one about Roald Dahl for his 100th birthday.'
Even though he is 100, his books are still greatly loved by young and old today.

The BBC interview Bioarchaeologist on the recent findings across the country.
Ali Freyne, Bioarchaeologist at the Natural History Museum, talked to us about the excavations across the UK and further. Freyne described the findings as "particularly unusual" compared to findings in the past fifty years. Freyne has been very interested in the gallery at the Natural History Museum, 'Human Evolution'. ''It's been one of the biggest moments of my career as a bio archaeologist, the study of skulls and skeletons throughout specific ages.''
Another recent topic of Miss Freyne's was the 'Human Hobbit' also known as homo forensiensis, a specific study on a group of Neanderthals who only grew to around one meter in height. These will soon be added to Project Human Evolution.
When we asked about any recent projects coming up, she said her and her co-worker Chris Stringer have been recently excavating in Morocco.' This particular project involved a 'cemetery', also known as a previously human inhabited cave, around 1,500 years ago. The excavation involves several levels of human skeletons, waiting to be uncovered.
Freyne also mentioned having previously worked at the British Museum as a volunteer, which really helped with ''hands on experience''.

In 2014, a skeleton was uncovered under a primary school on the west coast of England. After weeks of examination, scientists have been led to believe that this could be the skeleton of a pirate.
When talking to the general public, many thought this event was quite exciting and could change our outlook on the way our history worked.
(Anonymous) "It's quite amazing really, why would a pirate be buried so far from shore?"
After several geological scans, scientists have been led to believe that our land has expanded since the pirating era.

Image stitching software is an exciting technology with many applications such as smart phones and satellites. It is used to create panoramic and high-resolution images. Image stitching is often performed through the use of computer software and works using overlaps between images with identical exposures. This approach can create seamless images. However some approaches use software that makes use of different exposures at the edge of the overlapping region.

Abstract: Human skeletons from Liang Bua Cave, Flores, Indonesia, are coeval with only Homo sapiens populations worldwide and no other previously known hominins. We report here for the first time to our knowledge the occipitofrontal circumference of specimen LB1. This datum makes it possible to link the 430-mL endocranial volume of LB1 reported by us previously, later confirmed independently by other investigators, not only with other human skeletal samples past and present but also with a large body of clinical data routinely collected on patients with developmental disorders. Our analyses show that the brain size of LB1 is in the range predicted for an individual with Down syndrome (DS) in a normal small-bodied population from the geographic region that includes Flores. Among additional diagnostic signs of DS and other skeletal dysplasiae are abnormally short femora combined with disproportionate flat feet. Liang Bua Cave femora, known only for LB1, match interlimb proportions for DS. Predictions based on corrected LB1 femur lengths show a stature normal for other H. sapiens populations in the region. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Variation of human hairiness: a possible adaptation to solar radiation and melanin Dhugga, A.

Abstract: Many theories have been advanced to explain human hairlessness, however, there is no consensus. This study of 76 males observed that skin reflectance measuring skin colouration and melanin pigmentation correlated with hair size and follicle density. Individuals with a greater concentration of melanin within the superficial layer of the skin had a lower follicle density and smaller sizes of hairs. In contrast, individuals with a lower melanin concentration and lighter skin colour had a full range of hairiness. This leads to the suggestion that over the course of human evolution, high concentrations of melanin in consistently exposed to ultraviolet radiation areas developed first and that hair loss was a consequence of competition in the skin between melanin production and hair growth. Darker pigmented skin and lower follicle density are significantly correlated (R2=0.283; p<0.05). Individuals with darker skin had a mean of 4.91 follicles per cm2 whereas those with lighter skin reflectance had 11.20 follicles per cm2. This suggests that increased concentrations of melanin in the basal layer of the epidermis may limit hairiness by negatively influencing the skin's ability to produce hair. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Effects of garments on photoanthropometry of body parts: application to stature estimation Scoleri, T.

Abstract: Although the concept of race has been thoroughly criticised in biological anthropology, forensic anthropology still uses a number of methods to determine the 'race' of a skeleton. The methods must be evaluated to see how effective they are given large individual variation. This study used 20 cases of skeletons of varied provenance to test whether the nine published methods of 'race' determination, using a range of various approaches, were able to consistently identify the ethnic origin. No one individual was identified as belonging to just one 'major racial class', e.g. European, meaning that complete consistency across all nine methods was not observed. In 14 cases (70%), various methods identified the same individual as belonging to all three racial classes. This suggests that the existing methods for the determination of 'race' are compromised. The very concept of 'race' is inapplicable to variation that occurs between populations only in small ways and the methods are limited by the geographic population from which their discriminant functions or observations of morphological traits were derived. Methods of multivariate linear discriminant analysis, e.g. CRANID, are supposed to allocate an individual skull to a specific population rather than a 'major race'. In our analysis CRANID did not produce convincing allocations of individual skeletons to specific populations. The findings of this study show that great caution must be taken when attempting to ascertain the 'race' of a skeleton, as the outcome is not only dependent on which skeletal sites are available for assessment, but also the degree to which the unknown skeleton's population of origin has been investigated. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

New Delhi: Will names of six capped Indian players involved in sporting fraud be finally revealed? Will Chennai Super Kings be banned from this year's IPL? These are the questions pre-dominant in every cricket lover's mind ahead of the crucial hearing on Friday in the Supreme Court on the betting and spot-fixing in the last year's IPL.
A Bench headed by Justice A.K. Patnaik will take up for hearing for the first time the report filed by the three-member panel headed by Justice Mukul Mudgal which had pointed fingers at the role of six capped players in spot-fixing and indicted Gurunath Meiyappan, said to be Chennai Super Kings team principal and happens to be BCCI President N Srinivasan's son-in-law, for betting and passing on confidential information.
All eyes will be on the sealed cover in which the names of six Indian players involved are mentioned and if the Bench decides to reveal the contents of that confidential report, it may open a can of worms.
BCCI disagrees with two recommendations of Mudgal committee
Rift within SC IPL probe panel
IPL probe report: Six India capped players under scrutiny
Bookie claims Dhoni and Raina involved in match-fixing
IPL spot-fixing: Gurunath Meiyappan found guilty
Meiyappan admits to friendly betting through Vindoo
Ahead of the hearing, BCCI pleaded with the court not to reveal the names of the players.
"Speculative and baseless charges against leading cricketers have been made by unscrupulous news channels and the apex court must pass an order to prevent any further damage to the image and reputation of innocent cricketers. Since the confidential material in the sealed cover has not been verified to be true, it is most humbly submitted that the material contained in the sealed cover remain with the court and not be released to the parties", the BCCI said in a written plea.
The committee had said in its report: "The Committee during its interactions and on review of documents provided to it has come across many allegations of sporting fraud. However as of now these are mere allegations and we do not think it proper to cast aspersions on the persons named unless investigations are conducted."

JMR Graphics Responds to an Article Discussing Pepsi Max's Playful Prank on UK Bus Ridersadmin
By fishbat
Nationwide car wraps manufacturer JMR Graphics comments on an article discussing Pepsi Max's reality billboard at a London bus stop used to promote their product
BOHEMIA, NY / myprgenie.com / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2014 / JMR Graphics, a nationwide car wraps manufacturer, responds to an article discussing how Pepsi Max is pranking British bus riders by displaying unbelievable realistic sights on their augmented reality billboard screen.
According to a March 26th article from Food Beast titled "Pepsi Just Pranked a UK Bus Stop with Giant Robots, UFOs, Mutants and Tigers," Pepsi Max is taking a different approach to promoting its drink. They have decided to place an augmented reality billboard inside a London bus stop. The billboard screen tricks viewers by showing mutant tentacles snatching pedestrians, tigers chasing people on the sidewalks, and giant robots and UFOs attacking the city. On the other side of the glass of the billboard sits a Pepsi Max advertisement.
TJ Panell, a representative from nationwide car wraps manufacturer JMR Graphics, says, "Pepsi Max's imagination on this campaign is extraordinary.

"Kids need to know people care and believe in them."
A former corporate and securities attorney turned community organizer, activist and advocate, James joined the A+ Schools staff in September 2012 as communications director. Raised by a single mom in San Francisco, James attributes his success in life to excellent, caring teachers with high expectations. "She did her best, but it took more than my mom to help raise me. Kids need to know people care and believe in them," he says. James, who has extensive experience working on political and advocacy campaigns, first began working with A+ Schools as a Board Watch volunteer when the program launched in January 2009. Before joining the A+ Schools staff, he worked in Pittsburgh as community engagement manager for Communities for Teaching Excellence. Prior to that, he worked as a consultant with the Power of 32 regional project and served as coordinator of the United Way of Allegheny County's "Govern for Kids" initiative, helping child advocates and parents discuss issues with gubernatorial candidates. He also served as field organizer for the Obama-Biden 2008 campaign in Pittsburgh's Southside neighborhoods. For three years, James worked at Gunderson Dettmer, a leading Silicon Valley law firm. He also mentored with First Graduate, a San Francisco program for children who are the first in their families to attend college. In addition, he taught middle school students in San Francisco, Sacramento and Washington, D.C. as a teacher with the Breakthrough Collaborative (formerly known as Summerbridge) — a program that inspired him as a teenager. James earned his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a law degree from UC Hastings College of the Law. He completed the Coro Fellows Program in San Francisco in 2000 and the Coro Leaders in Learning Program in Pittsburgh in 2010. He and his wife, Mara, live in Friendship.
"As the newest staff member to A+Schools, my vision is to build a community where opportunity is abundant for youth to speak their truth."
Growing up in an enormous family as the middle child of 5 in The Hill District, Tia is known for possessing a boisterous attitude. Tia speaks her mind on social issues that affect the well being of her fellow students and community members. Joining TeenBloc in her freshman year of high school propelled her to speak about issues that not only affected my community but also the education inequalities among her peers. As a current graduating senior at Robert Morris University, Tia still believes in the power of student voice and the need for a high-quality education.
My goal is to help parents understand policy.
Graham was born and raised here in Western Pennsylvania. Growing up in and around Pittsburgh, Graham saw the wide difference between school districts and saw these inequities as a major hindrance to giving everyone a fair shot. Graham graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2012, and went on to work on a variety of political campaigns. It was there that Graham saw just how important education policy is in addressing inequities that exist in society. Graham came to A+ Schools in 2014 to help with the voter education and parent organizing efforts. His goal is to help parents and families better understand education policy so as to become better advocates for not just their children, but all of the children in Pittsburgh.
"Empowering students to grapple with the tough questions of identity and purpose through the lenses of grace and tenacity energizes me. I count it as privilege to walk alongside students as they flesh out what catalytic leadership looks like in their schools and communities. "
As an elementary school student in Youngstown, Ohio, Sarah's voracious appetite for reading was fueled by supportive parents and compassionate teachers. Sarah began volunteering as a reading tutor during her high school and college years and discovered an instinctive desire to help students become engaged in the learning process in a way that was relevant to their life experiences. After studying at Cedarville University, she worked as an after school program site coordinator for several years before relocating to Pittsburgh. She is new to A+ Schools this year and looks forward to coaching a new cohort of TeenBloc student leaders through the organizing process. She currently lives on the Northside.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Chris returned to the city in 1997 after spending 10 years in Tennessee where he earned a bachelor's degree in Economics from Maryville College and began his career in trust administration and pension consulting. Once resettled on Pittsburgh's North Side, he became actively involved in non-profit volunteer and board appointments with social justice and community development organizations including the Northside Leadership Conference, Northside Community Development Fund, Thomas Merton Center, Gay and Lesbian Community Center and The Midwife Center for Birth and Women's Health. In 2010, he redirected his career path to non-profit administration to realize the greater satisfaction he received from his non-profit volunteer responsibilities. He initially served as the Operations Manager/CFO at The Midwife Center, then Director of Finance and Operations at Persad Center, Ins. As Director of Operations with A+ Schools, Chris hopes to create an efficient work environment for his co-workers allowing them to continue their work to improve Pittsburgh Public Schools.
"If not me, then who?"
"If not me, then who?" These words have resonated with Brandi since the year 2008, when she returned to her home in Pittsburgh. She became interested in and committed to her community to bridge the many gaps. As a participant in the 2012 CORO, Next Leaders Northside, Brandi first introduced her idea/class project of working with young single mothers to empower their growth and fostering a positive mindset change. It was then, that she realized this was her calling. While completing coursework at Community College of Allegheny County, Brandi began working with Black Political Empowerment Project (B-PEP) as a Community Liaison where she continued to make connections with community organizations, political and public figures, as well as school administration and students. As the Community Liaison for B-PEP, she successfully organized an Anti-Violence Youth Summit with five area High Schools within Pittsburgh Public Schools. Brandi is currently a Parent Organizer with A+ Schools where she recruits parents to be the voice for children in education justice. She also works part-time with Gwen's Girls as a Community Outreach Specialist and sits on the Board of The Northside Coalition for Fair Housing in support of low income housing. She strongly believes that she is a part of a small group of committed citizens who can change the world. She is passionate and dedicated to empowering parents. From her education to her involvement in the nonprofit sector, this work is her life.
"I believe that the inclusion of the family unit is a strong component of supporting and nurturing a child's academic success."
Amie Matson is a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where she obtained her Masters in Social Work and a certificate in Human Services Management. She has been actively involved in the nonprofit arena for over ten years in multiple cities including San Jose, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh. Her work has primarily focused on school readiness and school-aged activities and engagement for the entire family. The central component of Amie's recent work has included conducting outreach in numerous neighborhoods to promote Kindergarten Registration, as well as to enroll families in various programs and services. "I believe that the inclusion of the family unit is a strong component of supporting and nurturing a child's academic success. I am a strong believer in the concept that it takes a village, so I'm always looking for ways to work together with the schools, community, and family to ensure each child excels in their own way." As Community Organizer at A+ Schools, Amie plans to continue working towards strengthening the relationships between the schools, community, and families, while also engaging in policy work to facilitate efforts to create a larger change.
"When students are partners throughout schools they learn more about the necessity of active citizenship in their schools throughout their lives."
Pam came on board the A+ Schools staff in 2011 as parent and family organizer and was named youth organizer and TeenBloc coordinator in August 2012. She supports the work of A+ Schools by engaging and organizing high school students to improve Pittsburgh Public Schools. "These students are our leaders of tomorrow. They deserve the opportunity to elevate their voices about their education. Who else knows better what they need?" she says. "When students are partners throughout schools they learn more about the necessity of active citizenship in their schools throughout their lives." Prior to joining A+ Schools, Pam spent five years as the director of parent education for Beginning with Books, a literacy outreach education program for children in Pittsburgh. During that time, she also volunteered at A+ Schools as a School Works interviewer and Board Watch observer and helped to facilitate roundtable discussions. Pam currently serves on the board of directors of the Pittsburgh Promise. She holds an undergraduate degree in English from Connecticut College and a master's degree in writing from Sarah Lawrence College. The parent of two Pittsburgh Public Schools students and a recent graduate, Pam resides with her family in the North Side.
"I am passionate about education reform and doing what I can to help children succeed and head on to college."
Mollie came to A+ Schools in 2011 through AmeriCorps' Public Allies program. Mollie is focused on recruiting volunteers for Board Watch, School Works and other A+ programs. A Pittsburgh native, Mollie is a graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School. As a high school athlete competing at other schools within the district and in the suburbs, she became painfully aware of the disparity between schools. She recently graduated from Rollins College where she earned a bachelor's degree in sociology with a minor in women's studies. It was through her college coursework that she began to understand the significance of the achievement gap and the impact of limited resources and opportunities. "I became passionate about education reform and doing what I can to help children succeed and go on to college," Mollie says. She currently lives in Regent Square.

As they try to balance their dual goals of winning another World Series and lowering payroll by 10 percent for 2014, the Yankees are going to have to make a ton of huge decisions this winter. To get under $189 million by 2014 and still win, GM Brian Cashman is going to have to be right a lot.
So in honor of The Mick, here are the top seven issues facing the Yankees going into the offseason, plus our predictions.
1. What to do with Alex Rodriguez?
The $114 million question will be the most popular one this offseason. The tumultuous A-Rod Era may be over. In his nine years with the Yankees, A-Rod led the team to the 2009 World Series title, won two MVPs and, on average, batted .292 with 34 homers and 107 RBIs per season.
But with five years left and $114 million remaining on his deal, the Yankees will try to divorce themselves from him this winter. While benching and pinch-hitting him throughout the playoffs, the Yankees decided that he can't hit right-handed pitching anymore.
Prediction: A-Rod is traded, most likely to the Marlins. The Yankees will eat most of the money and get little back. However, there is the tantalizing possibility the Marlins want to cut their losses and include someone like Jose Reyes.
2. Which of the Core Four will be active on Opening Day '13?
Derek Jeter's ankle is going to need at least four or five months to recover. That means Opening Day is in question for the Captain. At 38, Jeter became the second-oldest player ever to lead the majors in hits. Pete Rose was 40 in 1981. How much will Jeter's ankle impact his rebirth? What will it do to his range?
Mariano Rivera should be ready for the first day of spring training with a fully recovered right knee. Rivera will be 43 on Opening Day and he will have a chance to add to his legend if he is as good as ever.
Andy Pettitte hopes to decide within the next month if he is going to come back or not. After a year off, Pettitte was 5-4 with a 2.87 ERA. He seemed to really enjoy the competition again.
Prediction: Who is going to bet against the three remaining members of the Core Four? These guys are special players. However, at some point they are going to lose their fastball, cutter and ability to go the other way. Who knows if it is next year? But I expect all three to be there on Opening Day. What they will look like by this time next year could very well determine if the Yankees are still playing late into 2013.
3. New outfield?
Who would have thought this on July 23? By the middle of October, Ichiro Suzuki could be the most likely Yankee to return next season. Ichiro may want to try to win again with the Yankees, who will surely offer him nothing more than a one-year deal.
Nick Swisher is surely a goner. He will want too much money and the Yankees are ready to move on. Curtis Granderson has a $12 million option that the team probably will pick up, likely with the intent to make a deal.
Add Brett Gardner back into the mix and the Yankees' outfield may look a lot different at the start of next season than it did at the end of this year.
Prediction: Swisher is gone. Granderson is traded. Ichiro is in right. Gardner is in left or center, depending if the Yankees sign center fielder Michael Bourn or Torii Hunter for a corner. Josh Hamilton won't be a Yankee.
4. Robbie Cano, what do you know?
Do the Yankees try to sign Cano, who turns 30 on Monday, to a long-term contract? Between what agent Scott Boras will want for his client to skip free agency and the Yankees' doubts about Cano, despite his greatness, it is hard to imagine a deal gets done that can fit into the $189 Million Plan.
Prediction: A year from now, we will be talking about Cano's impending free agency.
5. Soriano, will you go?
Rafael Soriano really saved the season this year. He arguably was the Yankees' MVP. He will probably opt out to try to secure a multiyear deal as a closer. He probably won't get the $14 million he would make for the Yankees next season, but someone should want him to close.
Prediction: Soriano is a goner.
6. Young Guns?
To save money, the Yankees need some major league innings from young pitchers. It starts with Michael Pineda, the biggest disappointment from 2012. You know the story -- from overweight to hurt to arrested for DUI.
Pineda is going to have to earn his spot. Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances will be non-factors. Banuelos is out with Tommy John surgery, while Betances could not control his pitches this year and was demoted to Double-A. David Phelps could fight for a rotation spot.
Prediction: Pineda starts next year at Triple-A after failing to crack the rotation. He is still a kid so all is not yet lost. Phelps is the fifth starter.
7. Old "Young Guns"
The Yankees have to decide what to do with Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain. Both can be free agents after next year. Hughes is a proven young starter now, but he is only a No. 3 or 4, at best. Should the Yankees trade him now before possibly losing him or being forced to pay him more than he is worth? Chamberlain is streaky, but his role could increase with Soriano's departure.
Prediction: One of these two are traded. Maybe both.

Norman Whitfield wrote this song for David Ruffin, the Temptations' lead singer, who had the ultimate voice. He has this gruff tone, but his great asset is his input of feeling into the vocal - he's singing from his soul, like this happened to him yesterday and he's still raw. By the end he's just going 'I wish it would rain', but throwing in lots of 'Oh yeahs' to emphasise the feeling.
My parents bought this album, but it was played to death by everyone in our house. It's the story and the feeling that really make the song for me. The string lines are cool, the cello and violins are the backbone of the track, but it's a song written for a harmony group, and, like the Detroit Spinners and the Four Tops, the Temptations were all excellent vocalists and could switch the lead vocal around. There was David Ruffin, Eddie Kendrix, Melvin Franklin and the fourth one I can never remember because it changed a couple of times. At Motown all sorts of great singers were coming and going, doing tracks in a day, so they grew and learned together. You see, a vocalist has no distractions, so he or she can practise away till it's perfect, and here that's what David Ruffin is giving you.
'Wish It Would Rain' was available on the album 'Wish It Would Rain', and on 'The Temptations Greatest Hits Vol 2' (CDWD72647). Both have been deleted.

Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Every age has great debates on its defining questions. Sometimes these disputes are on a grand scale: capitalism versus communism. Sometimes they concern details that puzzle later generations: Summarize the main points of contention in the Thirty Years' War, without consulting Google.
The defining conflict of our time is over what might seem to be a relatively arcane and technical detail: leverage, meaning the extent to which financial institutions should be allowed to borrow relative to their total balance sheets. The question won't be decided on the battlefield, in the courts or by the public. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will make the call.
There are plenty of other important debates taking place around the world, but these questions are largely settled, and many of the issues are more rhetorical than real. Sure, China runs a mixed economy, but it combines plenty of state meddling with a vibrant private sector. France imposes higher taxes on rich people, but have you seen how well those elite live? And the top 1 percent is doing well everywhere, from Russian oligarchs to Silicon Valley moguls. Convergence in economic models is the order of the day.
Except when it comes to the question of how much bank leverage is too much. On this issue, there are two equally determined -- and irreconcilable -- camps. The stakes are high; excessive leverage could bring down the world economy again. And the next financial collapse could be even worse than what we experienced in the fall of 2008 and the prolonged recession that followed.
Taking Risks
What separates the two sides is a well-defined bone of contention: the extent to which banking regulators should rely on a simple leverage ratio -- that is, the size of banking assets relative to loss-absorbing equity capital, with due (or perhaps any) consideration of so-called risk-weighted assets.
In one corner, we have the world's banking elite, whose latest champion is Peter Sands, the chief executive officer of Standard Chartered Plc. "I guarantee that a regulatory framework that uses the leverage ratio as a primary measure will make banks and the banking system more prone to crisis," he wrote recently in the Financial Times.
Because Sands calls the shots at a bank that is big enough to cause a global panic were it to get into trouble, we should take him seriously on this point. Perhaps we should even regard his words as signaling a willingness to take the kind of risks that threaten to bring down the financial system -- and would force the U.K. government, and perhaps others, to step in with rescue packages.
It isn't by chance that some version of Sands' words can be heard from almost every executive at a "too big to fail" global bank: They want to be able to take more risks precisely because they can draw on implicit or explicit government guarantees. When these companies increase their loss-absorbing equity to reduce their leverage, as Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc are now being pressured to do, executives scream about how this will hurt the real (read: nonfinancial) economy. Never mind the evidence that banks with "higher and better-quality" capital were better able to keep lending during the 2007-2009 crisis (see "Balance Sheet Strength and Bank Lending During the Global Financial Crisis," a recent International Monetary Fund working paper by Tumer Kapan and Camelia Minoiu).
Arrayed against the world's big banks are some of the sharpest financial intellects, including Tom Hoenig, vice chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and author of "Basel III Capital: A Well-Intended Illusion," which explains why the risk weights preferred by Sands are a dangerous fantasy.
"All of the Basel capital accords, including the proposed Basel III, look backward and then attempt to assign risk weights into the future," Hoenig writes. "It doesn't work."
By contrast, he says, a properly defined leverage ratio "provides a simpler, more direct insight into the amount of loss-absorbing capital that is available to a firm."
Pushing Back
The risk weights on assets are always wrong. You only need to think back to mortgage-backed securities and euro-area sovereign debt, or look ahead to the approaching train wreck for some emerging markets. Letting banks calculate their own risk weights or develop their own methodologies makes no sense -- conflicts of interest predominate when you are too big to fail. But asking rating companies or government officials to come up with meaningful risk weights also is doomed to fail. They lack the information, motivation and compensation incentives to do this right.
By contrast with earlier eras, ours is a technocratic age: Our debate concerns bank capital and the extent to which financial-sector executives who run megabanks should be allowed to gamble, even when they get the upside and the downside is someone else's problem, with this asymmetry exacerbated by leverage.
The right historical analogy is the U.S. debate over antitrust laws at the beginning of the 20th century. Many people deserve credit for pushing this issue to the fore, notably President Theodore Roosevelt, who brought a case against J.P. Morgan's Northern Securities Co. The matter was ultimately decided in the government's favor by the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-to-4 decision in 1904. That ruling spawned further cases, legislation and, eventually, a big shift in public opinion.
Had the monopolists won, instead of enjoying a vibrant competitive economy and a century of unprecedented growth that made the U.S. the world's greatest power, we would have ended up much like other countries where a few businessmen are too powerful: a bigger and more northerly banana republic.
Recently, the Fed's Board of Governors agreed -- under some pressure from the FDIC, among others -- to consider putting more emphasis on leverage ratios. Sands and his colleagues are pushing back -- just as Morgan pushed back against Roosevelt.
Will the Fed stand with Hoenig and many others to defend the public interest? Or will the central bank do what four members of the Supreme Court wanted to do in 1904 and side with the very powerful?

Lawtey man held for 2007 murder
Published: Friday, January 23, 2009 at 5:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 23, 2009 at 5:43 p.m.
A Lawtey man, already in custody on unrelated charges, now has been linked to the 2007 shooting death of a Starke resident, police reported.
Jerry Lee Williams, 25, is accused of attempted robbery with a firearm, third-degree murder and conspiracy to commit robbery with a firearm, the Starke Police Department reported.
Williams was being held at the Bradford County jail, where Deputy Kevin Mueller arrested him on the new charges Friday morning.
Officers allege Williams was the shooter in a drug-related robbery that led to the death of Edward Otis Smith Sr., 55. The man was found at his home on July 31, 2007, and had been shot in the chest. He later died from his wounds after he was transported to the hospital.
The motive in the shooting was robbery, said Starke Police Capt. Barry Warren. Investigators allege Williams went to Smiths home. Authorities believe another person first purchased drugs from Smith to verify he had drugs and money. Then, during the robbery attempted, Smith was shot, authorities say.
It appears that they drove there pretty much for that purpose, to rob Smith, Warren said.
Police did not say if additional arrests could be pending in the case.
Officers had named a Gainesville man as a suspect in the case in August 2007 but he later was cleared, according to the State Attorneys Office. The prosecuting agency said the cases evidence did not support a second-degree murder charge against the man and the case was dropped.
Police reported that interviews and eyewitnesses led to their case against Williams.
The information was submitted to the State Attorneys Office for review, resulting in a warrant for Williams arrest earlier this month.
Williams had previously been jailed in October 2008 on charges of shoplifting and resisting arrest without violence, said Bradford County Sheriffs Office spokesman Capt. Brad Smith.

Thank you
Hey Rudi
I will miss the elegance more because I wasn't a huge fan of the sound of the 8.A. Don't want to be controversial, but they just didn't do it for me. But, it was a great experience.
or hair headphones..........
rudi how does pico power compare to sr71b? Single ended output of course
Ignore dupe post... stupid ISP...
The SQ was pretty good, but not worth the hype or the money, IMO. The sound was very warm and a bit bassy for my tastes. It still had a great sound for some genres, but I would say they are source and genre specific. Very hard to find a good combo with the 8.A, the upgraded gold cable did help though. Still, they sounded better than all my other C/IEMs at the time. But now that I'm a bit more seasoned, I can tell you that the 8.A don't do it for me anymore. That's why they're gone, and the SE5 are coming!
Obviously, YMMV.

Stop wallpaper from scrolling?
I've just uninstalled my third party theme/launcher (Go Launcher EX), leaving me for the first time in almost two years using the Droid's native Blur launcher. How do I get the thing to stop scrolling the wallpaper as I scroll from screen to screen?

His royal highness Oba Rilwanu Akiolu of Lagos has counseled President Muhammadu Buhari to change his leadership style.
The Oba made the remarks during the opening ceremony of SunTrust Bank in Lagos yesterday.
The Oba said President Buhari should remember he is no longer a military dictator.
The Paramount ruler urged the president to listen to advise and save the downward spiral of the economy.
According to Oba Akiolu, "All of us just have to support the president.

"I advise him to know that he is no more a military man.
"I am not afraid to say that," the Oba said.
The Oba also absolved former President Goodluck Jonathan's administration.
He opined that all that happened in the past government were not caused by former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
"I don't hide the fact that he (Jonathan) is my personal friend.
"All that happened was not totally his fault. But it is not too late to make amend.

"Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is head of economic team.
"He has people like Mrs. Nike Akande as the President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry and others.
"The federal government should therefore listen to advice from people in commercial sector of the economy," he added.

The climate change bill passed by the House of Representatives on Friday was only the first step towards achieving major environmental policy reform. As historic as the moment might have seemed, the bill still faces huge obstacles before becoming law.
The measure, sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman (R-Calif.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.), passed with a close 219-to-212 margin and came only after massive arm-twisting by the White House and Democratic leadership. And even then, 44 Democrats voted against the measure. Only eight Republicans crossed the aisle to vote for it.
Such a margin could be deadly in the Senate, where the bill is headed next and where it is expected that the GOP will filibuster -- requiring 60 votes for the bill to pass. With Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) unlikely to participate and moderate Democrats potentially on the fence, the party will have to turn to moderate Republicans to add a few votes. For this to happen, observers say they have two options: Either weaken the bill's restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions or ramp up internal lobbying efforts on fence-straddling senators.
Either plan could backfire. Mike Lux, a highly respected strategist within the progressive community and former adviser to Bill Clinton, warned against tinkering with the environmental regulations that the House established. "If you give away too much to senators, you end up having a bill that not only doesn't help very much but ends up hurting you," Lux told the Huffington Post. "So I think it's a pretty careful balancing act that they're going to have to think through and work through."
"If it was left to my devices," continued Lux, "I'd say screw [tinkering with the] legislation -- let's just do everything we can to continue building the political pressure on folks." He added that Democrats should be "extremely focused on not moving backward in terms of environmental regulations."
If that's the strategy Democrats decide to pursue, the targets are obvious.
"It's got to be a mix of both [parties]," said Lux. "[Maine Senators] Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are actually going to be easier to get than some of the Democrats," including Sen. Mary Landrieu (La.), whose support will be elusive due to the influence of the fossil fuel industry. Then there's the basic philosophical hostility that some "centrist" Democrats feel toward government involvement in environmental policy, which could compel them to oppose the measure.
Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson is "as conservative as Republicans like Snowe and Collins -- maybe more," said Lux.
The seating of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) will help. But what will it take to win Republican support?
"This will be very tough," John Pitney, political science professor at Claremont McKenna College and former Republican operative, said to the Huffington Post. "There are very few Republicans that might vote for this," he continued, naming Senators Snowe, Collins and George Voinovich of Ohio among the possibilities.
The price tag and possibility of a tax increase to pay for the provisions may be a deal breaker for conservatives, Pitney added. "They need to be convinced that the cost is manageable... The tax issue resonates more than the environment issue."
So far, Republicans have shown little enthusiasm for the bill. House Minority Leader John Boehner decried the legislation as "a pile of shit." Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) branded climate change a "hoax" and earned a round of applause from his colleagues.
Noting these objections, Pitney argued that a passable bill might require environmental regulations to be watered down even further. "The House bill in its current form would be a long shot," he said.
GOP leaders are nervous about the passage of this bill, and as the Huffington Post reported, the conservative base might be willing to target members of the party who support the measure.
But changing the legislation too drastically could backfire. Already, some environmentalists say that the legislation's regulations on greenhouse gases are too weak. The Environmental News Network has criticized its "plentiful polluter permits, weak renewable electricity goals, and low carbon emission reduction targets." Greenpeace deputy campaigns director Carroll Muffett said that "this bill is worse than nothing."
That said, there is some room for Democrats to maneuver. While environmental advocates share some of Muffett's concerns, many consider the legislation a vital step toward achieving a clean energy economy.
"Politically, we cannot afford to lose," said Ivan Frishberg, political director for Environment America. "A loss for this really sets us back. The momentum from victory on a weak bill at least gives us momentum to keep working to do more of this. But a loss on something like this really sets us back for years and years and years to come."

Phil Jackson compares Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in new book
When he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson many times was asked, but declined, to compare the two best players he coached in his career, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Maybe he was saving it for his book.
"Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success," by Jackson and Hugh Delehanty, is set to be released Tuesday and in it Jackson does compare Jordan and Bryant.
Actually, he is more interested in contrasting them, and at some length.
"Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with his power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups," Jackson writes. "Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame. He also had large hands that allowed him to control the ball better and make subtle fakes. Kobe is more flexible - hence his favorite nickname, 'Black Mamba.' "
Bryant treated his body "like a finely tuned European sports car," while Jordan was "given to indulging his taste for good cigars and fine wine."
Jordan was a more accurate shooter than Bryant.
"Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn't going his way," Jackson writes. "When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game.
"No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender."
Jackson observes that Jordan "was more charismatic and gregarious" than Bryant, someone who "loved being with his teammates and security guards, playing cards, smoking cigars and joking around."
When Bryant joined the Lakers, "he avoided fraternizing with his teammates," Jackson writes, but later in his career "put more energy into getting to know the other players," to the point that "he became the life of the party."
Jackson says one of the biggest differences between the two players "was Michael's superior skills as a leader." Bryant had "a long way to go" before he could match Jordan, who "was masterful at controlling the emotional climate of the team with the power of his presence."
For starters
Former Marquette guard Jimmy Butler will be starting for the Chicago Bulls next season, coach Tom Thibodeau told the Chicago Tribune.
"I don't see why not," Thibodeau told the newspaper. "The way he played this year, he earned that spot. He has great versatility. He became much more confident and competent - running pick-and-rolls, catch-and-shoot, putting it on the floor, posting up. His improvement offensively was tremendous. And his defense has gotten better and better and will continue to improve."
He will start either at shooting guard or perhaps at small forward if the Bulls move Luol Deng.
Butler, 23, was taken 30th overall in the first round of the 2011 draft.
Best arm in the NFL?
A former National Football League scout, Daniel Jeremiah, was asked on the NFL Network to name the quarterback with the best arm in the league.
"To me, it's Aaron Rodgers," Jeremiah said. "I think it has been for the last few years. The ball jumps off his hand a little bit better than anybody else. The velocity, and the ability to have accuracy with that velocity, sets Aaron Rodgers at the very top of that list."
Jeremiah said the player with the strongest arm he ever scouted was JaMarcus Russell.
"Absolutely," Jeremiah said. "He had a hose."
Other analysts at NFL.com offered other choices for the best arm - Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman, Detroit's MatthewStafford, Chicago's Jay Cutler, New Orleans' Drew Brees and Philadelphia's Michael Vick.
His 10 best umps
Former major-league manager Manny Acta, now an analyst for ESPN, ranked the 10 umpires he considers the best in the big leagues.
He chose Jeff Nelson as the best in baseball.
"He averages 0.00 smiles per game, but no one cares more and works harder than this guy," Acta wrote in his ESPN Insider blog. "Solid all around and very consistent."
Jim Reynolds was ranked second ("Friendly, but professional with a terrific strike zone and very good on the bases."), Tim McClelland third ("He has ended up in the middle of a number of controversial calls in his career, but he commands respect and deserves it."), Ron Kulpa fourth ("He really cares and has a good common sense when handling stuff on the field.") and Joe West fifth ("His 'I'm here and I'm in charge attitude' makes him unpopular among players and managers, but you can't ignore how good he is. He's the guy you want to have behind the plate during a do-or-die game.").
Rounding out his list are JimJoyce, Gerry Davis, John Hirschbeck, Laz Diaz and Wally Bell.
