IS FLEETWOOD MAC DONE? Mick Fleetwood, the 64-year-old drummer who founded Fleetwood Mac in London in 1967 with bassist John McVee and guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, tells Playboy, "I don't believe Fleetwood Mac will ever tour again, but I really hope we do."
Fleetwood says Mac was ready to tour in 2010, but didn't. Then the band delayed touring in 2011 and once more in 2012 because of members' solo projects. First, singer guitarist Lindsay Buckingham released a solo album, "Seeds We Sow" and toured behind it. That was followed by singer Stevie Nicks' solo album, "In Your Dreams," and tour.
Tours of this magnitude take months to prepare. While Nicks is currently off the road, she's made plans for three solo shows in New England from June 29-July 10 before hitting the road with Rod Stewart from July 20 through Aug. 9, as she did last summer. There goes the lucrative summer concert season.
So, in the meantime, Buckingham decided to play several southern California solo shows. He'll be at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, north of San Diego, on May 3; at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on May 4; back down the 5 to the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on May 5; and up to the Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center on May 6.
"I've always been supportive of my band doing solo albums, so long as we kept our band together," says Fleetwood.
One concert promoter tells Playboy that an eight month tour would net each band member $10 million.
Fleetwood expressed his frustration at having to pass on the big money. "It is certainly a blow to all of us financially." He's putting the band's future all on Nicks. "It all comes down to her, and for the first time, I think even Lindsey has lost his patience."
Fleetwood understands Nick's thinking, to a point. "Stevie is really proud of her new album and I get that, but she will not let it go...she's insistent upon working it until it's incapable of growing further. She has become enthralled and obsessed with her album in a very nice but very inconvenient way. She's working 20 times harder than she would ever have to do with Fleetwood Mac and not making anything close to as much money as she would with us. But this is what she wants to do, and I respect that."
ROLLING STONES TALK TOUR The Rolling Stones have postponed their 50 th anniversary tour this year.
However, they will release an extensive documentary covering the band's entire career that includes a treasure trove of never-before-seen photos and film clips. The doc even includes current news about the band, including details of the recent two-year rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
The big news is that Jagger and Richards are pals again after that massive rift, reports the New York Daily News. It was caused in 2010 by revelations and opinions about the singer from the guitarist in Richard's No. 1 best selling memoir, "Life." In the autobiography, Richards detailed his view that Jagger had become too controlling and, at the same time, distant, as well as his dig to Jagger's pride that the legendary womanizer was rather, uh, small.
This healing between the two opens the door to a 51 st anniversary tour next year and both Stones appear genuinely excited about all of it. Rather than months of one-night stands in dozens of cities around the globe, the tentative plan is for a series of lengthy multi-concert runs in a few major cities.
The healing process between Jagger and Richards began in December when Richards booked time at a London studio for the band to jam. This was the first time since the end of their gigantically successful "Bigger Bang" tour in 2007 that they'd played together. Richards also invited original bassist Bill Wyman, who attended after having little or no contact with the others over the past two decades since he retired from the group in 1992.
Richards set the sessions up hoping to entice a hurt and angry Jagger, feeling that playing together would bring back the love. On the third day, Jagger did indeed show up and the band got on well and played a lot of blues and "Some Girls" outtakes, according to Jagger.
The real patching up, however, came in the last couple weeks in New York while the pair promoted the new film. Richards suggested that the two had a long heart-to-heart talk, during which they opened up about everything that had gone wrong between them over the years. Richards explains, "He & I have had conversations of a kind we have not had for an extremely long time and that has been incredibly important to me."
Richards also says, "I know that some parts of it ("Life") really offended Mick and I regret that." Jagger sums it up in the film, saying, "Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows. In the '80 s, for instance, Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of The Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested. But it's plain for the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity. Time, I reckon, to move on."
Both men also revealed that they they've been practicing together again and, in fact, might even begin recording together again soon.
Richards is quoted in Britain's Mirror as saying, "We'll just get the boys back together again then and maybe cut a side. We're planning to get things going again."
In other Stones news, as producer Michael Dorf had done in the past at Carnegie Hall with The Who, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, R.E.M. and Bob Dylan, "The Music of The Rolling Stones" that he put on was a star-studded tribute, reports Billboard. Guest performers dug into songs exclusively from the band's "Hot Rocks 1961-71" greatest hits double album.
Jagger's former girlfriend Marianne Faithful sang her hit versions of "As Tears Go By" and "Sister Morphine;" Roseanne Cash and former Lovin' Spoonful leader John Sebastian surprised with "Gimme Shelter;" Ronnie Spector performed "Time is On My Side;" Steve Earle rocked on "Mother's Little Helper," while former Mott the Hoople leader Ian Hunter and his Rant Band ripped into "19 th Nervous Breakdown."
Ricky Lee Jones delivered some "Sympathy For the Devil;" bluesman Taj Mahal performed a raw "Honky Tonk Women;" Marc Cohn and Jackson Browne teamed up on "Let's Spend the Night Together" and were joined by Cash on "Wild Horses." Former Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson played "Play With Fire" and unannounced surprise guest, Art Garfunkel, sweetly sang "Ruby Tuesday."
The entire cast ended the evening with a sing-along to "Tumbling Dice."
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH'S BIG TOUR Crosby, Stills and Nash announced a giant 52-date U.S. tour that will run all summer. The trio is donating $1 from each ticket to as-yet unnamed charities. The tour begins June 7 in Philadelphia and wraps Sept. 19 at San Diego's Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, and also includes stops on Sept. 7 at L.A.'s Greek Theatre and on Sept. 28 at the Santa Barbara County Bowl.
DON MCLEAN CONSIDERS RETIREMENT Don McLean, the 66-year-old troubadour whose 1971 single, "American Pie," took the world by storm, hitting No. 1 here and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand (it reached No. 2 in Britain), tells the Nashville Tennessean that he is thinking of quitting life on the road as a touring pop and folk artist.
However, that won't be for another four years.
He says, "I'm 66 years old, and I think I'm going to retire when I'm 70, and do something else, and not do this anymore." He says he wants to do something that tells his life story through his music.
McLean, whose upcoming world tour begins April 13 in Lewiston, Maine, near where he lives, and consists of more than three dozen concerts, plays his only California show on May 5 at the Sycuan Casino in El Cajon, near San Diego.
PAUL SIMON TO PERFORM ENTIRE 'GRACELAND' Paul Simon will perform his classic 1986 "Graceland" album in its entirety when he headlines the final night of the giant Hard Rock Calling 2012 festival in Hyde Park in London, July 13-15. The landmark album that was voted
No. 81 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, won the 1986 Grammy for Album of the Year, while the title song won the Record of the Year Grammy the next year.
The all-male South African singing group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who sang behind Simon on the album, will join him at this gig, marking their first U.K. reunion since 1987.
Before performing "Graceland" at the show, Simon will be joined onstage by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff and the two will duet on Cliff's biggies, "The Harder They Come" and "Many Rivers to Cross," both from the 1972 soundtrack to Cliff's film, "The Harder They Come."
"Graceland," which was recorded in South Africa and sold more than five million copies in both the U.S. and Britain, will be released as a 25 th anniversary package along with a documentary, "Under African Skies," about Simon's recent re-visit to South Africa a quarter-century later.
Other performers at Hard Rock Calling include Saturday headliners Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, as well as former Kinks leader Ray Davies, John Fogerty, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, Adam Ant and Mike & The Mechanics.
TEMPS JOIN LAWSUIT CONGA LINE The Temptations have joined an ever-increasing group of recording artists to sue past or current record labels over alleged owed royalties from digital songs and albums sold on iTunes, Amazon, etc. The group is suing UMG (Universal Music Group). At press time, UMG has had no comment.
The Temptations are currently touring the U.K. with The Four Tops.
Another group, The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards, will appear at Buffalo Bill's Casino in Primm, Nev., at the California border, on May 27.
In July 1968, Edwards replaced The Temps lead singer David Ruffin, and sang lead on the group's hits "Cloud Nine," "Psychedelic Shack," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Ball of Confusion," "Masterpiece" and others. He also provided backup vocals on the No. 1 smash, "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," in 1971. Now 69, Edwards left the group in 1977, and rejoined them from 1980 until 1984.
JIMMY PAGE FINALLY RELEASES ALBUM In the early '70 s, experimental American filmmaker Kenneth Anger commissioned Led Zeppelin's songwriter-producer-guitarist Jimmy Page to produce a score for a film he'd been working on since 1966, "Lucifer Rising." Page did this but his soundtrack was never used in the film that was finally released in 1972.
Forty years later, Page is releasing his re-mixed music from the film exclusively on his website, www.jimmypage.com.
Limited autographed copies of "Lucifer Rising and Other Sound Tracks" are available. In a post on his website, Page says, "This is a musical diary of avant-garde compositions and experiments, one of which was to appear on the film, 'Lucifer Rising." The title cut makes up all of side one of the vinyl album.
JACKSON, JEWEL & RASCAL FLATTS HELP OUT Country stars have always been a charitable bunch. The town of Mineral, Va. collected the greatest number of online votes in a contest for an
Alan Jackson concert. Its 31,000 votes beat out second place finisher, Kansas City.
Because Mineral suffered considerable damage from a 5.8 earthquake last August, Jackson is waiving his usual fee and proceeds from the concert will go to the town's repair projects.
Jewel has contributed her song, "Here's Hope," to ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here campaign to the campaign's website. ConAgra's goal is to donate five million meals during this school year.
Rascal Flatts were awarded the 2012 CRS Artist's Humanitarian Award at the annual Country Radio Seminar for their efforts aiding, among others, the American Red Cross, the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, according to the Boot.
SxSW FEST HAPPENINGS The gigantic, sprawling SxSW music and film fest, conference and trade show held annually in Austin, Texas, is always a rock, pop and country music lover's dream. Among the highlights from the 2,000 acts that performed from March 9-18, was the set from the fest's keynote speaker Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band that featured an extensive showcase of tunes from his new CD, "Wrecking Ball," according to the Associated Press
The set included the Boss et al, joined by Rage Against the Machine guitar wizard Tom Morello on three songs. The E Streeters were also joined by Jimmy Cliff on the same two songs that he'll perform with Paul Simon in London in July, "The Harder They Come" and "Many Rivers to Cross." Former Animals singer Eric Burdon sang his old British Invasion band's 1965 hit, "We Gotta Get out of This Place" with Springsteen. The concert ended with Woody Guthrie's iconic 1944 folk song, "This Land Is Your Land," that saw Springsteen and the band joined onstage by Joe Ely, alt roots rocker Alejandro Escovedo and Canadian rockers Arcade Fire.
Earlier in the week, Springsteen joined Escovedo and his band onstage at his concert. The Boss was onstage for four songs, including what was described as an incredible 10-minute take on The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burdon" that saw Escovedo and Springsteen joined by Ely, Rosie Flores and Garland Jeffreys.
Lionel Richie, who pre-sold 20,000 copies of his upcoming country CD, "Tuskegee," in one hour during his Home Shopping Network's live concert series special, was joined onstage by his old pal Kenny Rogers. The two sang, "Lady," a song Richie wrote in 1980 and Rogers took to No. 1 on three Billboard charts, the Hot 100, Country Singles and Adult Contemporary. As Rogers left the stage, Ritchie played the opening notes to Roger's "The Gambler." Rogers smiled and laughed and then flash a good-natured obscenity in Richie's direction.
To mark the two-year anniversary of the passing of former Box Tops and Big Star leader Alex Chilton, only two days before Big Star was to stage a reunion concert at the 2010 SxSW, its surviving band members joined Oregon-based country-folkies Blitzen Trapper as well as Ken Stringfellow from veteran alt rock outfit, The Posies, and former R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills and guitarist Peter Buck at the Trapper's show to perform Big Star's "Easy." Blitzen Trapper then ended their set by covering Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times."
Among the documentaries to premiere at SxSW included "Big Easy Express," about Chilton and Big Star; "Beware of Mr. Baker," about Cream and Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker that features interviews with other drummers, including Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones, Stewart Copeland of The Police and Neal Peart of Rush; and the afore-mentioned Paul Simon doc, "Under African Skies."
Last, but certainly not least, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons was there to introduce his new BBQ sauce, BFG, pouring it into tons of complimentary Bloody Marys at Lambert's restaurant and passing them out to thrilled fans.
Gibbons mentioned that he and his Lil Ol' Band from Texas continue to work with producer Rick Rubin on their new album, but that Rubin "likes to do things at his own pace," meaning that it could be awhile longer before it's ready.
Gibbons also noted that he'll be back for at least two more seasons of the Fox series, "Bones," as Angela's dad.
RINGO ON GEORGE & PAUL Ringo Starr talked about George Harrison and Paul McCartney in an interview in Rolling Stone.
It was noted that Harrison offered to visit Starr's daughter, who was in the hospital being treated for a brain tumor despite fighting his own brain and lung tumors at the time. After noting that his daughter is currently doing great, Starr said, "George was so generous. At that point he weighed nothing, he had the energy of a dead fly, and he said, 'Do you want me to come to Boston with you?' I well up every time I think of it."
Of Paul McCartney and his bride, Nancy, he said, "We love him and we love Nancy. It's fun when the four of us hang out. They are caring and loving people."
GLENN FREY & DEE SNIDER DO THE STANDARDS Rockers have been releasing albums offering their own often-unique interpretations of the classic standards they grew up with, at least since Ringo Starr put out his "Sentimental Journey" LP in 1970, the first-ever solo album by a Beatle, and a record that included the likes of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust," Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and Les Brown's title cut that he took to No. 7 in the U.K.,
No. 15 in Australia and
No. 22 here.
Over the years, Rod Stewart hit gold not once, not twice, but eight times over the past decade with albums of classic standards and Motown hits.
Ringo's fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney's brand new CD of standards, "Kisses on the Bottom," recently hit No. 3 in Britain and No. 5 in America.
On May 8, these folks will be joined by The Eagles' Glenn Frey and Twisted Sister glam rocker Dee Snider.
Frey's "After Hours," his first solo album in 20 years, covers songs that were hits from the '40 s through the '60 s, including "For Sentimental Reasons," that was a hit over the years for Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Shore; Bobby Troup's "Route 66;" Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "The Look of Love;" and Brian Wilson and Tony Asher's Beach Boys hit, "Caroline, No."
Snider's CD, "Dee Does Broadway," will be available as a download. It features such Great White Way classics as "Mack the Knife," "Cabaret" and "I Get A Kick Out Of You." Snider is joined by an array of guests, including Broadway legend Patti LuPone on "Tonight/Somewhere," from "West Side Story;" "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken on "Luck Be a Lady," from "Guys and Dolls;" "Whatever Lola Wants," from "Damn Yankees," with its Broadway revival star, Bebe Neuworth; and "Big Spender" from "Sweet Charity" with Cyndi Lauper.
DYLAN MARKS MILESTONE; RECORDING NEW CD It was 50 years ago this week that Bob Dylan released his first album. It was simply called "Bob Dylan" and it contained only two original songs, but it put him on his road to immortality and shaping history.
A year later, his follow-up LP, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," lionized him as it contained his self-written protest classics, "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall," and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right."
Sometimes it's easy to forget the titanic influence the 70-year-old balladeer from Hibbing, Minn., had on the volatile '60 s, one of the most historically, socially and politically significant, exhilarating, and dramatic in American history. His stature then was nothing short of mythic; his impact and his contributions added to and changed America's course.
Rolling Stone pointed out that at the time of the release of that first album, the U.S. Hot 100 was dominated by songs about a certain dance craze, the Twist. Eleven "Twist" songs were in that Hot 100 that week, including, "Hey, Let's Twist,' by Joey Dee & The Starlighters;" "Alvin Twist" by The Chipmunks and The Marvelette's follow-up to their No. 1 debut single, "Please, Mr. Postman," called, believe it or not, "Twistin' Postman."
The Beach Boys had also released their debut record a bit earlier. Their premiere single, "Surfin'," that came out in November the year before, was at No. 77 on the Hot 100.
By the way, Dylan's not done yet. Los Lobos singer-guitarist Dave Hidalgo said he's been recording a new Dylan album with him at Jackson Browne's L.A. studio. Hidalgo told the Aspen Times that the new CD doesn't sound like anything Dylan had ever done. "It's amazing thing, how he keeps creativity. I don't see how he does it."
NEW RELEASES Among the recent new releases, re-releases and deluxe sets out are "Greatest Hits" from Joan Baez; an import single from Erasure, "Fill Us With Fire;" two limited edition re-releases from former LaBelle singer, Nona Hendryx, 1982's "The Art of Defense" and 1984's ""Nona;" a 2-CD import, "The Very Best of Go West;" two "Expanded" re-issues from LaToya Jackson, 1984's "Heart Don't Lie" and 1986's "Imagination;" "Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2011" from B.B. King (also on DVD); an 11-CD import box set, "Complete Studio Albums 1983-2008," from Madonna; "The Lost Sirens," from English rockers New Order; a 2-CD import, "The Very Best of Stiff Little Fingers," from the veteran Irish punkers and an import from UFO, "Chrysalis Years
2 1980-1986."
Among the recent DVDs out are "With The Wild Crowd! Live in Athens, GA," from The B-52 s; "Same Old Blues: Live In London 1975" from Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Rockpalast" from Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, whose big hit here was "Saturday Night" in 1979.
KISS & MOTLEY JOINT TOUR Kiss and Motley Crue will spend this summer sharing the stage. Crue singer Vince Neil tells Robin Leach of the Las Vegas Sun, "It's really going to be cool because Kiss is bringing their full stage show, and Motley will be bringing our full stage show, so you are going to see two huge headliners at the same time."
Neil noted that this isn't the first time the two bands toured together, "It's the first time since we were together on the Creatures of the Night Tour in 1982 - 30 years ago!"
The hard rock juggernaut will be at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista on Aug. 12 and the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Aug. 14.
SURGERY FOR TEEN IDOL RYDELL Illness has forced former teen idol Bobby Rydell to cancel his Australian tour, according to a post on his Facebook page. However, upcoming shows beginning April 20 in Trevese, Pa., six days before his 70 th birthday, remain on the docket.
Rydell initially posted, "Had to cancel my upcoming Australia tour due to some health issues. Can't leave the country until I have major surgery. Doc says I will make a full recovery so think good thoughts for me everyone." No further information has been forthcoming.
Rydell, who has been touring as part of the Golden Boys of Rock and Roll with Frankie Avalon and either Fabian or Edd "Kookie" Byrnes" for many years, has five Golden Boys dates set into August. The singer, who also drums and does impressions, and hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1960 with
"Wild One," registered six
Top 10 singles between 1959-1964, and 18 Top 40
hits during that time.
TEEN IDOL PROBY CLEARED American expatriate former teen idol P.J. Proby, 73, who found far greater fame in Britain than he ever did in his native United States, has been cleared in an English court of nine charges that he cheated England's Department for Works and Pensions out of approximately $70,000 between 2002-2008, reports BBC News. At the time the charges were made, Proby had less than $10 in his bank account.
Outside the court, Proby's attorney read a statement from the singer saying, "for the past four years I have lived in fear of becoming homeless because my housing benefit was cut off, and of being wrongly sent to prison for a crime I never committed." Of his recent concerts, he said, "I only performed to give pleasure and not to make money."
In 1964, Yank Proby traveled to London where he met another American, Jackie DeShannon, who was living with Jimmy Page at the time. She helped him there.
He appeared on the "Around The Beatles" ITV television special in April that year. From 1964-1968, he hit the British Top 40 eleven times, and the Canadian Top 40 four times. His only U.S. hit, "Niki Hoeky," made it to No. 23 in 1967. His 1965 cover of Donnie Brooks' 1960 hit, "Mission Bell," hit No. 3 in Australia.
Things are looking up for Proby. This September through November, he'll be part of the 29-date Sixties Gold Tour of the United Kingdom that also stars Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Animals and Chip Hawkes, former singer for The Tremoloes, whose biggies were their version of Cat Steven's "Here Comes My Baby" and "Silence is Golden."
ALICE GETS A...BOBBLEHEAD The National Hockey League's Phoenix Coyotes recently held its first Alice Cooper Bobblehead Night. Ten thousand dolls were handed out to fans at the Coyotes-Dallas Stars game at Jobing.com Arena in Phoenix.
Coop, 64, is a well-known golf nut. It turns out that he's also a hockey fanatic. He's attended dozens of Coyotes games and is well-versed on the team, its players and coaches. This obsession with the game dates to his childhood in Detroit where he grew up following Gordie Howe and Terry Sawchuck and the Red Wings.
Regarding hockey, Coop enthused, "It's by far the most fun sport to watch," according to Pollstar. The bobblehead night was called "Coop's Troops" and the rocker hosted an arena full of members of the military. As host, Cooper participated in the ceremonial game-starting puck drop.
ON THE CHARTS Bruce Springsteen's new "Wrecking Ball" is his tenth No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart. This ties him with Elvis for third on the all-time list. Jay Z is in second place. The Beatles sit alone at No. 1.
George Straight now has
74 Top 5 Country Singles. His latest, "Love's Gonna Make It," moved from No. 6 to
No. 4. At age 79, Yoko One is on a Dance Chart winning streak. Her new single, "She Gets Down On Her Knees," is Top 10 Dance hit number 12. Whitney Houston still has five albums in the Top 40.
The British Top 40 album chart sees Springsteen at
No. 5; Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" that comes out here on March 26, at No. 10; "The Very Best of Michael Bolton" at No. 11; "The Very Best of Gilbert O'Sullivan" at No. 16; Whitney Houston's "Essential" at No. 20 and "The Ultimate Collection" from Doris Day sits at No. 40.
Among the artists not seen on the charts recently but are on the British Top 100 Album chart are "The Very Best of Bread" at No. 54; The Eurythmics' "Ultimate Collection" at No. 88; "The Very Best of Nina Simone" at No. 89; Doris Day's "Greatest Hits and More" at No. 90 and "The Singles" from The Clash is at No. 100.
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what some of them are doing.
In 1969, The Jefferson Airplane's influential guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady formed the blues band, Hot Tuna, while their main gig was on a break. Forty-two years later, at
71 and 67 years of age, respectively, Kaukonen and Casady are still on the job. Sometimes they perform as an acoustic outfit and other times as The Electric Hot Tuna.
Sometime they perform as a duo and other times as a quartet, while Kaukonan embarks on solo tours as well.
The Electric Hot Tuna is playing Wanee Music Festival in Live Oak, Fla., on April 19. From May 20-May 27, Kaukonan will play five solo shows; one in Nelsonville, Ohio, and four in Italy. The electric contingent tours New England in June, while the acoustic version of the band is on the road for 23 shows from June 29-Aug. 3, including an evening at Anthology in San Diego on July 27.
Oh yeah, they'll be at the Breezes Grand Negril Resort in Negril, Jamaica, with Little Feat a year from now, March 6-10, 2013.
American blues singer-guitarist Robert Cray, 58, got his start in the last '70 s with a bit of help from fan Eric Clapton, who selected him as his opening act. This came around the time Cray served as bassist for Otis Day and The Knights in "National Lampoon's Animal House." In 1986, his single, "Smoking Gun" made it to No. 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart (it hit No. 22 on the Hot 100). Between 1995-2009, eight of nine albums hit the Top 3 Blues album chart and the one that didn't hit No. 7.
Cray, who has a new album set for release in September, is a new inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame. He and his band are appearing at the Fox PAC theatre in Riverside on April 12, opening night of his upcoming tour.
He'll also play the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach on May 6.

POMONA -- Two Pomona residents are behind bars after being arrested by Police Narcotics team members who seized weapons and narcotics from a Pomona home Tuesday which is walking-distance from Pomona High school, authorities said on Wednesday.
Danny Ray Shaw, 60, and Carrie Izadi, 31, both of Pomona were arrested Tuesday evening in the 2400 block of Towne Avenue north of the 10 Freeway, according to a Pomona Police Department news release.
Authorities were conducting a narcotics investigation which led them to the home on Towne Avenue, officials said.
Officers received permission from the residents to search the home and reportedly located two 12-guage shotguns, a loaded .45-caliber handgun and a .22-caliber handgun along with drugs and drug paraphernalia, according to authorities.
Officers booked Shaw on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and is being held at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles. Izadi was booked into the Pomona Jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance.

Opposition Emerges to $2 Billion Water Proposal
Several groups, both liberal and conservative, today began their campaign against Proposition Six, the measure on the ballot next month to take $2 billion from the state's Rainy Day Fund to use for water supply projects, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The groups blasted the proposal as a 'water grab' by special interests, which will be used to enrich cronies of plugged-in state government officials.
"There is not sufficient assurance in this proposition to protect rural Texas water from being heisted and used to feed urban developers' pet projects," Terri Hall, an anti toll road campaigner and head of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom, told 1200 WOAI news.
The groups said the proposal does not adequately address the need for water conservation, and will continue unsustainable water waste in places like the Dallas Ft. Worth suburbs, which Alyssa Burgin of the Texas Drought Project, a liberal group, say waste water.
"This is about water grabs, water grabs that will go from rural Texas to big cities, where the population continues to increase."
Hall said 'special interests' want to 'funnel questionable economic development projects through local water boards' and get sweetheart deals in return.
"Despite Texas having the second highest local debt in the nation, lawmakers are still asking voters to issue more local debt, and using our state emergency funds to do it," Hall said.
The Hays Constitutional Republicans from San Marcos said the proposal, which would use the $2 billion from the Rainy Day Fund to make loans to local water boards, is 'a crony capitalists dream.'
"There is now way too much power in the hands of the reorganized Texas Water Development Board, where three political appointees now effectively control the 50 year future of the private land development in Texas," spokesman Sam Brannon said.
The Green Party also came out against the propositions, agreeing that they will further unsustainable water use and will steal water from rural Texas to help developers in growing cities.
They also say the measure amounts to 'exploiting' the Rainy Day Fund, which was set up to be used for true emergencies.
The issue will be on the Constitutional Amendment ballot November 5th. Governor Perry and leaders of both political parties are actively campaigning for approval.

Mattis previously held the discus record, which he set in 2013, at a distance of 58.34m. This afternoon, he threw the discus 59.94m and now holds the top two spots in the record books. It was a good day in the discus for the women as well as Hill bumped off the top throw of 45.46m, which was recorded by Monica Maccani back in 2001. Hill took the top spot with 45.82m.
Both the men and women also had strong performances in the other throwing events.
Jacob Brenza took first in the hammer throw with a final distance of 50.05m, second in the shot put with a throw of 16.43, and third in the discus with a throw of 48.62. In the javelin, Karl Ingram captured first place with his throw of 61.34m.
For the women, Penn took first in shot put, hammer, and javelin. Serena Graf recorded a throw of 12.97m in the shot put, currently the ninth best throw in the record books, for first place. She also took first in the Hammer with a distance of 50.64m. Graf took second in the javelin with 42.69m.
First in javelin was Kelsey Hay, who bested her own record (47.37m), with a throw of 47.42m which is now the second best in the books. Hay also took second place in the shot put with a distance of 11.89m.
Over at the jumping pits, Jordan Jet took first in the triple jump with a best distance of 14.07m, while Jenny Thompson also captured first place with her jump of 11.40m. Gilliam Berger added an additional top finish with her long jump recorded at 5.38m.
At the track, Brandon Senior was back on the track and ready to compete, after making a full recovery from injuries which made him unable to race in the fall and winter. Senior had a standout return with his time of 22.34 seconds for a first place victory in the 200 meters.
Several of the athletes were competing in secondary events, to prepare for future competitions, such as the men's 3000 meter. A race that is not normally on the schedule for the men, runners from the Red and Blue competed to prepare for either the 1500 meter or the 5000 meter, later this season. Setting the pace was sophomore Thomas Awad, who finished first with a time of 8:25.78. The Quakers rounded out the top ten and completed the race within a span of 19 seconds after Awad.
The women running for the Red and Blue in the 3000 meter also stayed in a close pack at the front until the last lap, when La Salle's Taylor Hackett took the lead. However, freshman Ashley Montgomery was ready to battle her for the win as the two ran neck and neck until Montgomery edged her out in the last 100 meters. Montgomery finished the race in 10:01.18. Penn also took third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place.
In the 400 meters, the Quakers took the top four spots with Taylor Hennig winning first with a time of 58.80 seconds.
Penn will be back in action next weekend when the teams travel for the Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C.

By almost any measure, the choices we make and the path we follow over the next decade as stewards of this planet will define the quality and balance of life for generations to come, touching every man, woman, child, and species at every corner of the Earth. And as we approach a wide range of tipping points—from atmospheric carbon levels and their projected impacts on climate change to unsustainable resource consumption and its impact on the natural world—the need to set and update crucial metrics and milestones from which we can track our progress becomes ever more urgent.
It is with this sense of urgency that we established Vision 2020 and enlisted renowned thought leaders in 10 areas of study to guide our research and help create a road map for the building industry that would lead us toward regeneration and sustainability. We took our cues from our friends at Architecture 2030 who, by introducing the 2030 Challenge, gave our industry its first performance-based environmental timeline from which to navigate, setting the year 2030 as the target to achieve a carbon-neutral building sector. Our goal was to see where we need to be by 2020 in order to be on track to achieve the 2030 goals.
As you'll see in the feature articles that follow, written by our Vision 2020 chairs, we've made good progress already, especially in terms of understanding the challenges we face and the opportunities they present. These will be at the foundation of our future progress as we strive to achieve the new goals that each of these leaders lay out in their reports, and negotiate the hurdles they identify that would hinder our mission.
We are proud to present the results of this year's Vision 2020 research—the inaugural report that will be the basis of ongoing research to track our progress on the path to a sustainable future.
Vision 2020
- weaetxdyvaydzcwq
Regenerative Housing by 2020
Regenerative Design chair Bob Berkebile looks at how new directions in design are taking their cues from the past and leading us toward nurturing buildings, homes, and communities connected with nature.
Walkable Urbanism Combats Climate Change
Sustainable Communities chair Leinberger details why demand mitigation through developing walkable, transit-oriented, urban communities is effective in combating climate change.
The Next Built Environment, Today
Energy & Carbon chairs Edward Mazria and Francesca Desmarais examine what the building sector needs to do to expand sustainable design and reduce carbon levels to 350 ppm by 2030.
Transparent Future
Materials & Resources chair Malin discusses how transparency will permeate the world of building products, giving us nutrition-label-like sustainability data on everything we use.
Every Precious Drop
Water Efficiency chairs Mary Ann Dickinson and Carole Baker detail how improved technologies, policies, and practices will help achieve new levels of water efficiency by 2020.
The Future of Healthy Housing
The health benefits of green homes include reduced health care expenses, says Indoor Environmental chair David Jacobs.
Integration and Resilience
Products and Performance chairs Alex Wilson and Peter Yost envision high-performance products that respond to more stringent requirements and the need for resilient design.
Pushing Performance
Systems thinking will take building science into the areas of air purification, rightsized HVAC components, and home energy management systems, says Building Systems Research chair Michael Dickens.
The Balance of Systems
Codes and Standards chair Sam Rashkin describes how new codes and evolving rating systems are addressing the "house-as-a-system" approach to performance.
A Virtuous Cycle
Market Transformation chair Cliff Majersik says the drive to broader markets will be fueled by increased code compliance and the transformation of appraisal and finance processes.
The Vision 2020 Team
We want to extend our appreciation to the following people and organizations for their support and guidance in this year's research

By Jane Byrnes, Strategic Partnerships Division, Ohio Department of Aging
Ralph worries about his Uncle Mike, who lives independently in a nearby town. Mike is getting older, has some health problems and doesn't drive anymore. Ralph visits as often as he can to help Mike run errands. On a few of these occasions, Ralph found that Mike had no food in his house because he couldn't get to the grocery store. Ralph does minor house repairs whenever he visits, to keep Mike from trying to climb a ladder to fix things himself. Mainly, Ralph is concerned that Mike is spending too much time alone in his house, becoming isolated and lonely.
So, Ralph was interested when he recently learned that there was a way that Mike could call one number and get a ride to a doctor's appointment, or have someone to change a light bulb or help with Medicare paperwork. Mike could join a group of people with similar interests who regularly go to new restaurants, attend cultural events or just hang out. On top of that, Mike could use his skills and interests to help others, which would take some of the negativity off not being able to do as much for himself. Mike and Ralph are learning about the village concept.
The village concept began about ten years ago when a group of seniors in Beacon Hill, Boston, established a village in their neighborhood to meet their needs, rather than going to alternatives such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Most adults wish to age in place, a 2010 AARP study found, but many are forced out prematurely because they can't fix a leak, drive to the supermarket or have some other barrier to independence. In a village, neighbors can use the abilities and resources they have to help each other, while being able to count on others for the things they cannot do.
Villages are designed and governed by the people who will use them. They typically have about 100 members and are generally non-profit, member-driven organizations that are run with just a few staff members and a lot of volunteers. Each village compiles a list of trusted local service providers that can meet the needs of village members. These businesses vary, but can include contractors, financial planners, home health agencies and reverse mortgage lenders. Members pay entrance fees to have access to that list, along with other membership perks, including social events, activities and discounts from participating businesses.
"Health, wellness and prevention tend to be the top of the core services provided for information referral," says Candace Baldwin, co-director of the Village to Village Network, a national organization that provides assistance to communities wishing to implement the village concept. "There are relationships with home health agencies and health care providers... If a village member needs a higher level of care at home and is seeking a home care provider or personal aide attendant, they will typically have those types of service providers on their vetted provider list."
More than 90 percent of village members are 65 or older, and 87 percent own their homes, according to research from the University of California, Berkeley. Villages can fill in the gap where some traditional services can't help people, particularly in non-hospital, community settings. The village structure gives people access to community information that allows them to stay local.

Paul McCartney asks fans to 'Drive My Car' to drive-in premieres
(Yahoo!) - You're familiar with "new car smell." Paul McCartney wanted some of his fans to experience NEW car sound.
So, Sunday night, he offered the chance for hundreds of fans in Los Angeles and New York to be the first to hear his new recording — appropriately titled NEW — via album premieres held at real or makeshift drive-in theaters. "I love listening to music in the car," McCartney explained on his website. "It's like listening with a huge pair of headphones! You're in there and the sound is wrapped around you." In a nation of earbuds, he's got something there.
Yahoo! attended the west coast listening party, held at L.A. County's one remaining drive-in, the Vineland, about 20 miles southeast of downtown in the unglamorous City of Industry. In Manhattan, you have to travel considerably farther outside of town to get to the nearest ozoner (as Variety used to call them). So McCartney had his own drive-in set up on the roof of a VW/Audi dealership, where pedestrians stood in line for the chance to sit in new cars borrowed from the showroom for the occasion.
In both cities, while the sound was pumped over the drive-in's FM frequency, the projected image consisted solely of a reproduction of the cover imagery for NEW, along with the song titles and an occasional reminder to tweet reactions using the hashtag #mccartneydrivein. At the Vineland in L.A., host Chris Carter looked across the vast lot at the three other outdoor screens and quipped, "Those people watching Gravity must look over here and think, 'That looks like a really boring movie.'"

correctnessFor the lower belt yeah, they should go 100%. That doesn't mean spazzing and squeezing heads though. 100% doesn't mean letting technique go out the window.
I don't care what people try on me though, they can squeeze my head, stack me with all their weight (and I have a few guys I roll with who have 50kg on me), attempt to choke me across my jaw etc... that's what can happen in a fight, I want to be able to deal with it. If I give up my back (on purpose or otherwise) and they pull my collar across my teeth, that's my fault and I need to learn to get out of there. If it's legal in comp I have no problem with it. However, if they do want to do that stuff they may not like what happens after I escape quite as much And if they're trying stuff which isn't helping then I'll teach them and show them what is better to do. That's jiu-jitsu. If I'm the higher grade I should be able to control things, if I decide I don't fancy getting crushed I should be able to go to feet on hips or sweep and take top position.

The second half of Nehemiah 2 shows us how God used Nehemiah to stir the hearts of the people to begin the work of rebuilding the walls in the face of ridicule and fierce opposition. The message of this section is developed in four stages and leads us to arrive at what is the secondary lesson in this chapter and which is a key theme that will be developed not only in this chapter but throughout the rest of this book! This truth will be illustrated by the lives of three prominent adversaries to Nehemiah mentioned in our text--There is no opportunity apart from opposition!
Each child of God who purposes to build a life, a marriage, a home for God, any church congregation that is serious about advancing the cause of Christ for the glory of God must learn the vital lessons this passage teaches us! Not only will it guard you against discouragement and quitting but there are several positive benefits as well when we follow Nehemiah's example.

'Paul Gaustad tipped in Craig Rivet's point shot past Antero Niittymaki to give the Sabres a 1-0 lead nearly two-and-a-half minutes into the game. Gaustad's 11th goal of the year was assisted by Rivet and Mike Grier. Vincent Lecavalier was ejected from the game midway through the first after spearing Tim Kennedy with his stick. Lecavalier received a five-minute major penalty for spearing and a 10-minute misconduct.'

Sabres notebook
'With back-to-back games and another Monday, Ryan Miller needs to rest soon after seven straight starts. The Sabres don't have consecutive days off until April 4-5. Tonight seems like a perfect time to give Lalime, a free agent this summer, possibly his final home nod.'
Tyler Ennis recalled from Portland
'This will be the second recall of the season for Ennis, who is currently second on the Pirates in scoring with 65 points (23+42) in 69 games. The 21-year-old Ennis has played one game with the Sabres this season, scoring his first NHL goal at Philadelphia on November 14.'

Sabres fail to clinch playoff spot, lose again to Senators
'"Every time we play them it's a different day," said Pominville, who reduced the Ottawa lead to 3-2 by going coast-to-coast 1:34 into the third period. "I do think at times that we give them a little too much respect for a team that's trying to catch us. They outplayed us early on."'
Ottawa continues its mastery over Sabres
'The Sabres can deny it all they want, but the simple truth is that right now, they can't beat Ottawa, and they failed to do so once again, losing 4-2 and delaying the punching of their postseason ticket until at least tonight when they play lowly Tampa Bay.'
Sabres fall to Senators, fail to clinch
'"There's plays inside the game that you won't win unless we're tougher on those plays. The [Derek] Roys, the Connollys, the [Thomas] Vaneks, those guys have got to be tougher on the puck."'
Hold off on planning the Cup parade
'The Sabres had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth Friday night, a formality that will take place with a victory tonight over Tampa Bay or at some point soon. They're almost certain to win the division. They have the best goaltender in the league in Ryan Miller. But is anybody really convinced a contending team is in our midst? Uh, no.'
Obstacles don't stop streaking Sens
'"It's not like we feel, "OK, it's Buffalo. We know we're going to win.' " said captain Daniel Alfredsson. "We know it's going to be a hard-fought game. We're ready for it and we feel they kind of bring the best out in us."'

Is Rand Paul a secret hawk? Or maybe not a total dove?
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is the Republican Party's most visible dove and skeptic of foreign intervention. So it raised more than a few eyebrows when he added to his nacent presidential campaign a long-time foreign policy hand who has spent years intervening in other countries' affairs and associated with the Senate's best-known hawk.
Lorne Craner, a former John McCain staffer, Bush administration official, and democracy promotion advocate, recently joined the ranks of the Kentucky Republican's potential 2016 campaign. The move, first reported last month in The Washington Post, has left some in the GOP foreign policy world perplexed.
No Republican presidential candidate in recent memory has won the nomination on a dovish or non-interventionist platform. But eight years of war under the Bush administration left Americans war-weary, and may conceivably open up space for a Republican candidate arguing for a foreign policy of restraint. Indeed, a potential Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul race could see many neoconservatives back the Democratic candidate. Is a former McCain staffers's defection to the Paul camp a sign that the hawkish Republican foreign policy establishment is co-opting the non-interventionist—some would say isolationist—Rand? Or is Rand co-opting them by merely using his newfound advisers as fig leaves?
"Very odd," is how one board member of the International Republican Institute, which Craner headed until last year, describes the move. IRI is the Republican offshoot of the National Endowment for Democracy, founded by Congress over 30 years ago to promote democracy and good governance overseas. It has long been a target of ire for the isolationist wing of the GOP—like Rand Paul's father, former congressman and perennial presidential candidate, Ron—which sees it as a meddlesome, money-wasting plaything of the party's foreign policy hawks. McCain has been IRI's chairman for over 20 years.
"Lorne's whole career at IRI and at State was about having a vigorous human rights policy and about American foreign policy activism," a former senior foreign policy official in the Bush administration told The Daily Beast. "So how does he end up with the leader of American isolationism?"

Mauricio Pochettino's remarkable work with the Espanyol youth academy helped win him a dream job with Saints – and the backing of ex-Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola!
The 40-year-old Argentinian was sacked by the La Liga club towards the end of last November with Espanyol bottom of the table.
In his last 20 league games with the club, stretching back to the end of last season, the new Saints boss won just three and lost 13.
During his 145 games in the Spanish top flight with Barcelona-based Espanyol, Pochettino's win ratio was 34 per cent with 44 per cent of games lost.
But it was his work with Espanyol's academy that mainly attracted him to Saints chairman Nicola Cortese.
Pochettino is held in high regard in Spain, and Bayern Munich boss in waiting Guardiola has said: "I admire him for his ideals, his character. The foundations of his principles are always the same."
Saints' academy has produced gems in recent years such as Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Alex Chamberlain, Adam Lallana and now Luke Shaw.
But Espanyol's record is even more impressive, and Pochettino takes a lot of credit for that.
They have produced a remarkable 15 Spanish internationals across all age levels since the turn of the Millennium.
Around forty players currently appearing in Spain's top two divisions have come from Espanyol.
Cortese has said he wants to build a Barcelona-type model at Saints. Seven of the Barca side that started the 2009 Champions League final were home-grown, and Cortese believes he can oversee such a system at St Mary's.

text: The best way to get a free meal is to just visit potential new homes for the Penguins. Just ask Mario Lemieux. In the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Lemieux revealed that it was never a possibility in his mind that the Penguins would leave Pittsburgh. In order to pressure the city into funding and building a new arena, Lemieux made trips to Las Vegas and Kansas City out of formality, but really came back with nothing but a full stomach. Lemieux and Penguins co-owner Ron Burkle called the city's bluff and reached a new deal for a new arena in March of 2007.

Best Of :: La Vida
The unforgettable carne adovada at Los Dos Molinos is doubly seductive — slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth pork combined with the heat of red chile marinade. What's the kitchen's secret? It uses New Mexico red chiles, whose distinctively rich flavor takes the dish to a whole new level. If you're impatient to get a taste of it, the easiest plate-to-mouth delivery method is a Los Dos burro, neatly wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla. But if you have the time and appetite to splurge on a mountain of fork-tender pork, order the adovada ribs. They're a house specialty here, and they're so good that we can hardly shut up about them (unless we're in the middle of eating them, of course).
To paraphrase an old saying about a dead cat, you could swing a baseball bat in this town and hit a piñata. Many grocery stores sell them, and you can easily cruise 16th Street in central Phoenix and find a wide selection. But would it be wide enough? This year, our little princess didn't want a princess piñata. She wanted a piglet. And not just any swine would do; she wanted Piglet — you know, from Winnie-the-Pooh. After exhausting our brick-and-mortar possibilities, we got online and found Arizona Piñatas. We called, and a cheerful employee complied, agreeing that Piglet would be ready by Friday. And would we like it delivered? What? We just about dropped the iPhone, we were so happy. Yes, absolutely. And, sure, throw in the matching stick to whack the thing with. This endeavor wasn't cheap, we'll warn you. But, boy, was it worth it. Piglet arrived on our front porch on time as promised and was the life of the party until, well, until he wasn't.
People often refer to Phoenix as a young city, but our burgeoning metropolis has a pretty old soul. That's why our hearts delight when we have the opportunity to drive past what used to be the El Mural bar in west Phoenix. It's been years since anyone's hoisted a drink there, but the outside is still emblazoned with the beautiful work of Victor Caldee. Though of Cuban origin, the artist (with the help of Miguel Dominguez) brought together a bevy of Mexican icons: music and entertainment heroes Beatriz Adriana, Lola Beltran, Vicente Fernandez, and Jose Alfredo Jimenez, and revolutionaries Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. The spirit of old Phoeniquera barrios is further connected to a past long gone via the depiction of a Mayan figure and pyramid surrounding El Mural's entrance.
For the past several years, the Desert Botanical Garden has thrown the best Dia de los Muertos party in town. This year, the festivities — held Halloween weekend and the first week of November — promise to be grander than ever, with performances, food, and hands-on crafts for the kids. Oh, and a mercado! We'll be sure to stop by to check out the wares offered by Bets and Nancy Nenad, two adventurous Phoenicians who travel through Mexico to bring back a fine, fun selection of skeletons in many forms — from plastic to papier-mâché. Hey, it's a living.
The Hispanic equivalent of the bat mitzvah or "Sweet 16" party, the quinceañera marks a Latina girl's coming of age. It's easy to find a respectable dress for the event, but only at a true tiendas de bodas can you get service to fit a quince's exact needs. Owner Ofelia Martinez understands the Hispanic market and, more importantly, understands young Hispanic women. Her shop carries a wide range of colorful gowns and specializes in "plus sizes," which means girls with curves won't have to stretch and tug their way into a stick-girl dress. Fluffy, traditional quinceañera dresses in shades of peach and robin's-egg blue are plentiful. If the quince is a modern gal, perhaps a more contemporary sheath dress — in ivory white to please la familia. The shop also does in-house alterations and carries latilla veils, rosaries, crowns, and gloves to accessorize the little princess. Whether the quince wants to look like Cinderella or J-Lo in The Wedding Planner, Ofelia has her covered.
At one end of this cavernous, winding mishmash of spaces is a room packed with all kinds of crosses — metal, tin, wooden. At the other end, there's a room full of hand-tooled gun holsters. In between is just about any Mexican tchotchke you can dream of: small wooden guitars, leather wallets, ceramic pots, embroidered dresses. We felt like we'd died and gone to Nogales. Beware: The neighborhood, across the street from the Arizona State Hospital, is in a rough part of town near Van Buren Street. Obviously the owners are aware of their surroundings. The place opens at 9 on weekdays, but whatever the time of day, you'll need to ring the bell before they'll let you in.

'Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said cap concerns won't force McNabb down to the minors right now. "He's earned a spot right now the way he's played," Ruff said Tuesday morning inside the First Niagara Center. "We look at it we need to win games. I think when we get even more numbers back, maybe things change. There's a lot of factors you have to evaluate on, and some of it is dictated on other stuff."'

2nd Annual Ocean Park Ladies Open Tournament and Fundraiser
LingerACE! Volleyball
Saturday, August 24, 2013 from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
The Short and Sweet:
A non-profit women's doubles "Swingers-Style" beach volleyball tournament.
The More Detailed Version:
The Ocean Park Ladies Open Tournament & Fundraiser series is an annual fundraising beach volleyball tournament hosted by local lady volleyballers who want to help support the maintenance of Santa Monica beach volleyball courts. Such maintenance items include repairing broken nets, maintaining the adjustable net clasps and ropes, putting up court signs, etc. Last year's tournament was such a success that this year, 30% of tournament registration proceeds will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica to promote youth fitness, sports, recreation, and active lifestyles.... everything we volleyballers have grown to love and incorporate into our own lives. Please see the special DONATIONS section at the bottom of this page for information on our sporting goods drive so you can enter into a raffle to win prizes!
Rules, Format and Registration/Goodies:
Costumes are encouraged but not required! Traditionally, this has been a "Ladies Attire" tournament -- that is to say, fishnet stocking, babydolls or other feminine costumes worn over your normal swimwear. Costumes do not need to be worn throughout game play, but it certainly is a lot of fun!
- REGISTER INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS A TEAM. This is a Swingers-style tournament, and therefore women do NOT have to register as a team. Women will be put into even pools of 8 - 10 ladies per court, and you will play one game with (and against) each gal in your pool. If there are 8 women in one pool, you are therefore guaranteed 7 games of pool play.
- Pools will be randomly assigned, but tournament directors will ensure the playing fields are level and fair. Email Megan at email@example.com should you have any specific requests and we will try to accommodate.
- Rally-scoring, one game to 21, win by 2 points, no cap.
- Based off of total number of wins (or points, in the case of a tie breaker), the top 4 ladies of each pool will pool out, and will progress to play-offs. Depending on the size of the tournament, it may be single or double elimination in the play-offs. TBD.
- 2 gals will be assigned as refs for each game played.
- No open hand serve receives. Call your own sets (but be liberal... have fun!). Open hand digs only if the ball is hard driven. Let (net) serves OK. No blocking serves.
The Ocean Park Ladies Open Tournament & Fundraiser has traditionally been an ACES tournament to promote a level of fun and camaraderie amongst the players. As far as ACES is concerned, however, this is a non-drinking tournament. NO ALCOHOL.
Rules of Aces
- When a ball is served during game play, it MUST be touched by the receiving team receiving before hitting the sand. It does not matter if the ball is shanked or doesn't make it over the net; so long as it is touched, the receiving team is "safe".
- If the ball touches the sand before first being touched by a member of the receiving team, the following penalties apply during each full game: a) 1st offense: One team member must spin in a circle 5 times immediately before the other team serves; b) 2nd offense: Both team members must have their hands tied together (in front) for 1 round of play; c) 3rd offense: Neither team member can use any part of their arms for 1 round of play. d) 4th offense: Opposing team gets to suggest a penalty (corn rolls, etc), otherwise repeat the aforementioned penalties in order!
Challenges are small games or tasks for a losing team to do to win points back once they have already lost. If a team has won a game by a margin greater than 5 points (ie, 21-15), the losing team can *ask* to do a challenge to win back 1 or 2 points (bringing the score to 20-15 or 19-15) in order to try to make a comeback and win the game. It is up to each pool whether they want to impart the rules of challenges, and the winning team has the option to decline the challenge request. Challenge examples are wheel barrel races, corn rolls, spank machines, etc. They are merely to promote fun over competition.
PLEASE NOTE: Challenges extend the time of game play. Play-offs will begin promptly at 2:30pm, so if your pool has been delayed by challenges, the remaining games will be capped at 15 points, with the risk of some games needing to be forfeited entirely. If you wish to do challenges, keep them simple and quick!
Registration, Sponsorships and Donations
Individual sign-ups will cost $25 per lady BEFORE AUGUST 1st, 2013, or else $30 thereafter. Registration guarantees you a minimum of 7 games, and will include a goodie bag, professional donated photography services during the event, prizes for the winners, and other goodies depending on what kind of sponsorships we can get. We may also have food provided, depending on a food sponsor. TBD.
We rely on the generosity of local businesses for sponsored donations of prizes, hand-outs, and other items such as water for the tournament. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please contact Megan at email@example.com to see how you can get involved and have your products/services promoted!
If you wish to be a court sponsor, the cost is $250 in addition to any products/services you can offer as prizes to our winners. This level of sponsorship includes logos on our banners during game-day, brand promotion and shout-outs on our social networking and social media sites, and recognition throughout the tournament. If sponsors wish to provide temporary tattoos or other "flare", we will pass those out to the girls to wear. Please email Megan at email@example.com if you have any particular requests!
PLEASE READ!! **Donations and Raffles**
On top of the tournament, we will be holding a sporting goods and school supplies drive which will all be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica. Please bring new or used (good condition!) sporting goods (soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, etc) or school/art supplies to the registration tent on the day of the tournament, and you will be entered into a raffle to win cash or prizes!
Final Details
- Remember that this is a FUNDRAISER for a sport and location that is near and dear to our hearts. Let's have fun, but be safe, clean and abide by local laws. This is to benefit our home turf!
- We do have a permit to hold this event at OP, in case you're wondering :)

I believe in Psychotherapy. Why? Because I myself have been in therapy.... ....and THE BENEFITS WERE AMAZING! It was amazing and so rewarding. AND I DO HAVE A BIAS...I BELIEVE ANY REALLY, REALLY GOOD THERAPIST NEEDS TO HAVE TAKEN THE TIME AND ENERGY TO LEARN ABOUT themselves and THERAPY FROM THE "INSIDE". My practice as an Psychotherapist over the past 25 years has been an honor and a priviledge. I specialize in working with adults 18 and older, with Individuals and couples--and in an several areas, including Anxiety, Depression(mild & moderate), Stress, Trauma, Women's Issues, Grief/Loss, Divorce, Parenting, Aging, Retirement, Self Esteem, Family, Couples, Marital, etc.

Aplastic anemia
Aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrowdoes notmake enough newblood cells. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue in the center of bones.
Aplastic anemia results from injury to the blood stem cells. These areimmature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all other blood cells types. The injury causes a decrease in the number of every type of blood cell. These cells are the red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Aplastic anemia canalso be caused by certain medical conditions such as pregnancy or lupus. Exposure tocertain toxins or medicines, including chemotherapy, can also lead to aplastic anemia.
Symptoms resultfrom thebone marrow not being able to make new blood cells. Symptoms may be severe from the start or gradually worsen over time.
Low red cell count (anemia) can cause:
- Fatigue
- Pallor (paleness)
- Rapid heart rate
- Shortness of breath with exercise
- Weakness
- Lightheadedness upon standing
Low white cell count (leukopenia) causes an increased risk of infection.
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can result in bleeding. Symptoms include:
- Bleeding gums
- Easy bruising
- Frequent or severe infections
- Nose bleeds
- Rash--small pinpoint red marks on the skin (petechiae)
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam.
Blood tests will show:
- Low red blood cell count (anemia)
- Low white blood cell count
- Low reticulocyte count (reticulocytes are immature red blood cell)
- Low platelet count
A bone marrow biopsy shows fewer-than-normal blood cells and an increased amount of fat.
Mild cases of aplastic anemia may require no treatment. Symptomsare treated as needed.
If blood counts become lower, patients receive extra blood and platelets through transfusions. Over time, transfusions may stop working, resulting in very lowblood cell counts. This is a life-threatening condition.
Bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplantmay berecommended for patients under age 40. This treatment works best when the donor is a fully-matchedbrother or sister. This is called a matched sibling donor.
Older patients and those who do not have a matched sibling donor are givenmedicinesto suppress the immune system. These medicines may allow the bone marrow to once again make healthy blood cells. But the disease may return (relapse). A bone marrow transplant with an unrelated donor may be tried if these medicines do not help or if the disease comes back after getting better
Outlook (Prognosis)
Untreated, severe aplastic anemia leads to rapid death. Bone marrow transplant is very successful in young people. It is alsoused in older patients or whenthe disease comes back after medicines have been tried.
Possible Complications
- Severe infections or bleeding
- Complications of bone marrow transplant
- Reactions to medicines
- Hemochromatosis (buildup of too much iron in the body tissuesfrom many red cell transfusions)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if bleeding occurs for no reason, or if bleeding ishard to stop. Call if you notice frequent infections or unusual fatigue.

Allstate Sugar Bowl and National Football Foundation To Honor 35 Student-Athletes
Friday, April 8, 2011
The Allstate Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame will hold its 2011 Awards Luncheon in the Napoleon Room of the New Orleans Hilton Riverside on Wednesday, April 13 at 11:45 a.m.
The event will honor 35 local high school football players for their achievements in the classroom and on the football field. Two of the student-athletes being honored will be selected to receive Allstate Sugar Bowl Scholarships for $5,000 each. In addition, two local businessmen will be recognized for their contributions to the community and the sport of football.
Doug Hertz, a member of the Tulane Board of Administrators and the Chair of the Board's Athletics Committee, will be presented with the Distinguished American Award. Using his multiple degrees from Tulane, Hertz has become a very successful businessman, serving as President and CEO of United Distributors. In addition, he has remained very active with his alma mater, spearheading several initiatives to enhance and improve intercollegiate athletics at Tulane. He led a charge to increase the department's budget, which was recently approved, and is currently studying the possibility of an on-campus football stadium for the Green Wave.
Bill Curl, the director of media relations for the Louisiana Superdome for 33 years, will receive the Contribution to Amateur Football Award. Curl, who worked as the sports information director at Tulane and Arkansas prior to his time at the Superdome, has been instrumental in the promotion and betterment of amateur football in the city and state. Curl was one of the driving forces in getting the LHSAA to move all of its state championship football games to the Superdome three decades ago, a model that is followed by high school associations in several other states.
Archie Manning, the national chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, will recognize each of the 35 student athletes at the event. The winners were chosen from a nominated group of talented scholar athletes from the New Orleans area.

Babycakes thanks for the advice. I am almost 32 and so can make my own decisions; to be honest I probably won't go down the PED route but it is always worth exploring all of the options.
The only guy I ever trained with who used gear had zero cardio past 5 minutes of sparring. Even in the pros, lots of those using PEDs still lose. No doubt gear can help, but I think that technique and conditioning are more important than strength. I'm nearly 40 and though your test drops after 30 I wouldn't use gear, I'd rather eat well, use ZMA, Tribulus or D-aspartic acid and ensure I get enough rest. Good luck with your training.
Blog: fightingatforty.blogspot.com
Thanks Ghostdog, as I said I doubt I will use PED's as I see it as cheating and am too scared of having problems in later life because of stuff I have taken. It just seems that many, many of the top fighters use PED's and TRT.
Yes juice away you juiced pig!!!! and become the next leeoid barnes!
Hey, guys , why if someone ask "weird" question, must to be a troll ? And why YOU, instead of answering his question starting arguments ??? Just give an answer- use or not to use, and what to use instead of PEDs. Thats it !
Thanks Ronni; it was an honest question. I don't think I will use PED's but I know a lot of Pro's do and so maybe my question should have been am I at a disadvantage if I don't use PED's?

(NewsUSA) - The film industry has the ability to adapt like no other, weaving social media and viral videos into marketing campaigns with ease and -- more importantly -- success by way of dollar signs.
Most of Hollywood's social media marketing is meant to promote new films, new trailers and create overall hype, but viral media can go beyond that. Paramount Studio used Facebook and Eventful to determine what specific cities had an interest in "Paranormal Activity." The horror flick had a budget of less than $15,000, yet it grossed more than $150 million in theaters because potential fans requested enough local screenings for it to be widely released.
Social media is viral in nature, and the added use of sites like YouTube and Reddit just means videos and clips infect more viewers.
"You can target interest, advertise new releases and start an Internet buzz to increase ticket sales. Disney, Pixar and Twentieth Century Fox have used viral video campaigns for 'Toy Story 3' and 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes.' The 'Ape With AK-47' YouTube video was a part of a promotional series for the new film featuring 'real apes.' It got over 20 million views! Now talk about starting an online conversation," says Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts Entertainment, another studio highlighting its latest release on Facebook.
Actresses Sheena Lee and Simona Fusco, from the hit-comedy, "The Pool Boys," turned-up the heat on Facebook when they did an online Q&A session just before Valentine's Day. Fans got to ask questions and the ladies answered in real-time and invited their fans to join in the conversation.
The chat session is in advance of the upcoming release of "The Pool Boys" on HBO this spring. The actresses created their own YouTube video clips of them hanging by their pool and on the way to the gym, and had so much fun. In fact, lucky winners who joined the chat and answered trivia questions about "The Pool Boys" won autographed DVDs of the movie, courtesy of Seven Arts Entertainment, Entertainment One, and RGM. Look for the video clips on www.youtube.com/7artspictures and learn more about the movie at www.thepoolboysmovie.com.
"The Pool Boys" is available on Blu-Ray and DVD. To see examples of viral videos in two separate marketing efforts, check out YouTube's "Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Commercial (circa 1983)" or "Ape With AK-47."

Hey guys, looking to buy some new gloves but just don't know which ones to go for as I want to get something that will last. Punchtowns look the best of the bunch, but I don't know much about their durability while Hayabusa, Twins and Sandee are established brands. I'm gonna be using them for sparring and padwork, so after reading the other thread have decided that 14oz are the weight for me (although the Hayabusas are 16oz).
Also, I'm right in assuming that even though the Punchtowns and Hayabusas are boxing gloves, they'll be fine for Thai as well?
Pricing is quite similar including P&P:
Sandee - £39.93
Twins Dragon - £42.95
Punchtown BXR Pro - £42.29
Hayabusa - £45
Thanks in advance guys!

Mayfair High School baseball coach Joe Magno showed up at school this week to find $5,000 worth of equipment stolen from the team's storage shed.
Magno said all their baseballs, eight team bats and new catcher's gear were all taken.
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department took a report and are asking anyone with information to call 800-698-8255.
The Monsoons lost their first game of the year Monday, 5-4, after having to go to a local sporting goods dealer and buy used gear just to compete at Thousand Oaks.
"We had to go to the store and buy a couple bats and had to borrow gear from our junior varsity team," Magno said. "We don't have the funds to replace what was stolen from us. They tried to steal our pitching machine, but thankfully that was left behind."
Mayfair is going to use the JV gear - after the junior varsity plays its games - until the team can raise enough money to replace everything that was taken.
Magno is appealing to the area's baseball community to help in any way possible.
"We're really in a very tough situation here, because we don't have the equipment needed to compete," Magno said. "Our kids are being hurt because some thief came and stole our equipment that was earned through hard work. We'd appreciate any form of assistance from anyone that is able to help."
To reach Magno, his school email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
