During his sophomore year at Greenville College, André Anjos '09 cold called the manager of The Shins, an indie rock band, and pitched the idea of a remix. "I was nervous," he says, "but I got over it. I'm sure he could tell I didn't know what I was talking about, but no one had approached The Shins before about a remix. They just weren't that kind of band. They thought the idea was fun, so he called back and gave me a shot."
From the third floor lounge of Mannoia Hall, Anjos remixed the song "Sleeping Lessons." It took him several tries to complete the full remix, because students walking through the lounge area interrupted the recording process. Even so, The Shins were impressed with Anjos' final product and released the remix as the B-side of a UK single. Remixing "Sleeping Lessons" for The Shins was Anjos' big break. He contacted several other remix artists, and the Remix Artist Collective (RAC) was formed.
A remix is essentially a reinterpretation of a song that is produced from its original, unmastered multi-track files, which Anjos receives from his clients. Artists benefit from remixes because they introduce songs to broader audiences and offer increased exposure. In recent years, remixes have become a standard part of promotional budgets. RAC remixes are in demand because of their distinctive style. Rather than simply adding a dance beat to an indie song, RAC produces remixes that are creative works in their own right.
It was a challenge for Anjos to manage RAC while he was still in school, but he was intensely motivated. He spent his days in classes and working at the IT Help Desk, and his nights at the music studios. "I'd take over one of the practice rooms in Whitlock Music Center. It was quiet; often no one would be there that late at night. I would bring my laptop and headphones and get to work. The studios had some pretty nice synthesizers that were great to use, too."
Upon graduating, Anjos and his wife, Liz (Derstine '07), left for Portland, Oregon. He immediately began pursuing RAC full time. In fact, a position in the IT department during the four years he was a student is the only "real job" he has ever had. RAC is no longer a collective of remix artists, but the name stuck for Anjos' remixes.
In just a few years, Anjos has worked with a wide variety of high-profile artists from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Ra Ra Riot, Lana del Ray, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to U2, Lady Gaga, and the Kings of Leon. RAC's reputation developed quickly with remixes receiving attention from key music tastemakers and blogs.
Anjos has developed a unique philosophy on remixing. He aims for a style that strays from the typical "club mix." He creates new incarnations of songs by expanding their genre and musical arrangement. RAC remixes feature a unique blend of hip-hop and electrodrum samples, analog synthesizers, melodic hooks, and original performed instrumentation.
In February 2011, Anjos was surprised to hear his remix of "Rescue Song" by Mr. Little Jeans during Super Bowl XLV. Honda had negotiated with his company for rights to use his remix in an ad, but he didn't expect it to air during the competitive advertising environment of the most-watched television event in America.
It wasn't the first time Anjos' work has appeared in television and film. Since he founded RAC in 2007, his work has appeared in TV ("Entourage," "90210," "How to Make It in America"), film (the soundtrack for the 2010 Sundance selection "Holy Rollers") and advertising (Verizon, NBA, Coca-Cola and JC Penney).
Anjos and fellow Greenville College graduate, Karl Kling '09, launched the RAC DJ tour in 2011. The tour schedule allowed them to promote their music, win fans across the country, and keep in touch with friends and fellow alumni living in various cities. They flew over 180,000 miles in 2012, touring the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America.
Anjos' first solo recording, "Hollywood," featuring Penguin Prison, reached number one on all four Hype Machine charts upon its release in summer 2012. Then, early in 2013, Anjos signed with Cherrytree Records, which helped launch Lady Gaga's career, and will release an album of original music this fall. Anjos joins the roster of artists like Ellie Goulding, Feist, Sting and Keane.
"In the past six years I've done remix work with just about every label out there," Anjos said in a press release. "I couldn't be happier about this partnership with Cherrytree. It was the obvious choice. Their enthusiasm about my music was really what drew me to them and their past and recent success speaks volumes."
Look for an EP due out this summer, the full-length album in the fall and a U.S. tour to promote RAC's first album later in 2013 and into 2014.
"Listen along" to Andre's work.

Chiefs' Alex Smith getting warm-up with next team
Apr. 18, 2013
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The last couple weeks have been all about dry-erase boards, hours of game tape and seemingly endless time in a classroom at the Kansas City Chiefs' practice facility.
The last three days? They have been a bit more fun for Alex Smith.
The new quarterback of the Chiefs finally got to spend some time on the field with coach Andy Reid and his new teammates, even if it came during a voluntary three-day minicamp — without pads, in the middle of April, in the echoing quiet of an indoor practice facility.
"It all seems like a blur," Smith said, "but I think we've gotten in great work. We got a ton of reps in, practices were non-stop, there was no wasted time, and I felt like we took advantage of these days. We got better."
The three-day minicamp is allowed under terms of the collective bargaining agreement to teams that underwent an offseason coaching change — a sort of get-to-know-you kind of workout, one that just happens to be invaluable to teams also undergoing an offseason quarterback change.
Everything has been theoretical for Smith since the trade that sent him from San Francisco to Kansas City. There have been thick binders full of plays, and film of the offense that Reid and new offensive coordinator Doug Pederson intend to run with the Chiefs.
But there hasn't been an opportunity to get on the field until this week.
On Tuesday, Smith finally got the chance to have Reid and Pederson stand over his shoulder as he unloaded passes to Dwayne Bowe, Dexter McCluster and the rest of his wide receivers. The work continued on Wednesday and wrapped up with some red-zone work on Thursday.
"Before now, everything's been in the classroom," Smith said. "We haven't been able to come out here with coaches, so it's all been white-board and film-room talk. This is where all the teaching goes on, where all the executing goes on."
Bowe, who signed a five-year deal to remain with the Chiefs, said he's already noticed a difference in practices under the new regime.
Things move a bit quicker, for one thing. There is no wasted time, no idle minute. And Bowe said the play-calling is totally different — "This guy likes to go down field, take the top off, and that's something we haven't done in the past, score a lot of points," he said.
The guy taking the snap from center is different, too.
Matt Cassel was released not long after Smith was acquired in the trade, so Bowe and the rest of the wide receivers have a new voice barking out signals at the line of scrimmage.
"Matt was a great quarterback, not taking that from him, but Alex has been in an offense that's pretty successful year in and year out," Bowe said, "and just working with someone who has confidence like that, it gives you some confidence."
Smith isn't the only new quarterback in the huddle, either. The Chiefs also acquired free-agent Chase Daniel to serve as the backup, and he's been trying to get up to speed, too.
"They're really stressing us and making us work. That's what this job is about," Daniel said. "If you can't handle it, you don't deserve to be here."
The offense that the Chiefs intend to run should resemble the offense that Reid has run the last few years in Philadelphia. But both quarterbacks said there are elements to it that they've seen elsewhere — terminology and basic formations, for example.
"There's some similarities in the sense that it comes from the West Coast world," Smith said, "so the structure of the offense, the way we speak, there's a lot of similarities there, but we're still learning new terms, new terminology. But the structure is the same."
Reid acknowledged that the Chiefs are only scratching the surface of what they plan to do on offense, and with Smith, but the three-day head start has proven helpful.
The Chiefs have a rookie minicamp scheduled for May 10-12, but they won't be able to have competitive practices again until organized team activities begin May 14.
"The guys that were here before us did a good job. We're just picking up where they left off," Reid said. "The bottom line is there are some good football players here, and they want to learn, and we want to teach them, and we're all in this boat together."
Notes: The Chiefs signed LB Orie Lemon, who worked out with the team during the minicamp. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, and appeared in five games last season with three tackles and one fumble recovery.

I had 473 pets, then I captured three of the new ones and I went here to update my list, but after the reimport is now said I had 472 pets and two duplicates. After some investigation I found:
1) The pet that warcraftpets thinks I have lost if the 'Darkmoon Balloon'.
2) The duplicates are correct. The game seem to have given me two more Mr.Bigglesworth.
3) None of the new pets are imported. I have now captured all four new pets on the island and none shows up here.
The cause of #3 seems to the armory that's slow because it doesn't list my new pets either. However, it does list the Darkmoon Balloon in my collection yet here ít seems I have 'lost' it

"We Flush You a Merry Christmas" Kids WB ad
A lot of former fans cite commercials like this as the beginning of the end. Here's a crude, painful little bit from 10 years ago. Sylvester, Wakko (of "Animaniacs") and that cat thing from Pokemon ("Meowth", I believe) sing "We Flush You a Merry Christmas" around a toilet.
How they got Joe Alaskey to do this and keep a straight face, I will never know.
Click if you dare.

Those was the same where Kids WB! was cheap with their cartoons and jingles. I hate personally this commercial. Yark!

Well, Kids WB in the 90s always had various promos and bumpers like this one, that used sliced-and-diced recycled stock footage from its various shows slapped together in some awful manner (or in the case of the short-lived "Big Cartoonie Show", an entire opening title sequence consisting of such stock footage). That said, yeah, the characters sitting around flushing a toilet is decidedly a low point...

a flushing toilet??
ekkk!! c'mon: how did you can tolerate this on kids televison???
It is stupid at the same level of South Park's cartoons, where there's a poo named Mr. Hankey who live in a toilet! XP Poor Sly!! :(

Canadian prof develops drunk-driving sim
Why not just get lashed and play Gran Turismo?
A new videogame has been developed which aims to simulate the experience of drunk driving. The game, named "Booze Cruise", was coded as an academic project aimed at social betterment, rather than a sick commercial stunt to cash in on the worst aspects of human nature.
"The basic story is that this person is absolutely pissed and woke up in the trunk of their car and now is going to drive home," according to Calgary digital media prof Jim Parker, quoted by Reuters.
"Booze Cruise" simulates the effects of drunkenness by the use of blurry and narrowed imagery, annoying lag times etc. Challenges include pedestrians, other cars and a police checkpoint.
Apparently there are also "distractions on the side of the road, like pink elephants", which Parker added "just for fun".
Ha ha - what a card. Some kind of virtual puking experience might have been a tad more gritty, perhaps.
It seems that Canadian plods assisted in the design of the game, "trying to make it as realistic as possible", according to Reuters. The Alberta coppers apparently reckon that "Booze Cruise" could help cut down on drink driving.
"It's going to be a great tool," Constable Rob Haffner told the wire-service scribes.
"Whatever education that we can get out there is always going to be beneficial as far as drinking and driving goes."
Parker acknowledges that many teenagers are very familiar with driving videogames - games which might well be more fun to play than his, as the graphics aren't crippled and the lags are minimised. But he still thinks that his software "will persuade them that alcohol will affect their skills".
That may be true, but surely it would be even more persuasive for an overconfident youth to polish off a few tins of lager and then take on a sober opponent in the racing videogame of their choice. By comparison, Parker's game wouldn't seem to really prove anything about alcohol, just about the developers' view of it. The pink elephants may not help much with the credibility issue, either.
Nonetheless, the media prof is undaunted.
"This is aimed not at adults, this is aimed at people who are 13 to 16," he said. "We want to stop them from doing it in advance."
Hmm. More from Reuters here.®

The Canadian dollar advanced versus the majority of it 16 most-traded peers after April retail sales unexpectedly rose in the U.S., Canada's biggest trading partner.
The currency gained with its U.S. counterpart as the 0.1% increase followed a 0.5% drop in March, Commerce Department figures showed in Washington. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.3% decrease. Canada's currency climbed against the dollars of New Zealand and Australia, fellow commodities exporters, as crude oil declined for a third day.
"What's good for the U.S. is generally good for Canada, so in that regard the Canadian dollar will react accordingly," Mazen Issa, Canada macro-strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank's TD Securities, said by phone from Toronto. "Our bias it still towards a weaker Canadian dollar because our expectation over the medium-term is that growth in the U.S. will be much more robust than it will be in Canada. But, for the day at hand, a positive day for the Canadian dollar."
The loonie, as Canada's currency is known for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, gained 0.1% to C$1.0093 per U.S. dollar at 10:38 a.m. in Toronto. One loonie buys 99.08 U.S. cents.
Futures on crude oil, Canada's biggest export, dropped 1.3% to $95.004.79 per barrel in New York as the Standard Poor's 500 Index of U.S. stocks fell 0.1%.
Canada's 10-year benchmark government bonds fell, with yields rising three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 1.91%. The 1.5% security maturing in June 2023 lost 24 cents to C$96.26.
Risk Reversals
The cost to insure against declines in the loonie versus its U.S peer were near their highest point in two months. The three-month so-called 25-delta risk reversal rate was 1.37%, near the 1.41 level reached May 10 that was the highest since Feb. 26 Risk reversals measure the premium on options contracts to sell Canadian dollars versus buying U.S. contracts that do the opposite.
Implied volatility for three-month options on the Canadian dollar versus its U.S. counterpart reached 6.29%, at almost the highest level since April 17. Implied volatility, which traders quote and use to set option prices, signals the expected pace of currency swings.

NJ Architects Applaud Ehinger Center Design
The popular campus center received a merit award this year.
Drew University students know the Ehinger Center is a great place to study, eat, relax and meet friends. But the American Institute of Architects of New Jersey has also recognized the popular campus building for its renovated, expansive design.
This winter, the AIA New Jersey chapter awarded KSS Architects, LLP a merit Award for the Ehinger Center. The award ceremony was attended by James Hall, Drew's director of planning, design and construction.
Hall said before the building's renovation, the design was disjointed with public areas inconveniently located. "Now it's designed to reflect how people actually use the building," he said. "It's comfortable. It's a tremendous improvement."
The Ehinger Center is one of the most-used buildings on campus. It's home to a student café, two lounge areas, a performance space, a pub, administrative offices, and other common areas. In 2012, it re-opened after a yearlong addition. The new Ehinger Center got an additional 3,000 square feet in space, a raised roofline, fireplaces, a two-story rotunda, a wall of windows looking out onto the campus and a barrel-vaulted ceiling—along with a new name.
"We are thrilled that the design of the Ehinger Center was recognized by the American Institute of Architects of New Jersey," said Pamela Rew, partner, KSS Architects. "Great time and care was taken to work with the university to design a project that would elevate student life and create a rich learning environment," she added. "The Ehinger Center truly is the heart of the campus."
With its wall of windows, the building seamlessly blends outside and inside. Punched skylights add to the airy, well-lit environment. And the Ehinger Center, along with being home to campus offices, student clubs and the campus pub, is a well-used space that makes visitors feel at home.
Michael Kopas, Drew's assistant vice president who oversees facilities, said, "The project was a tremendously successful collaborative effort right from the beginning. A design can only be successful when there is a clear understanding of the goals at the very outset. The project team did an excellent job in all aspects."
The center was named in honor of Drew Trustee Tony Ehinger C'80, and his wife, Marianne Hyzak Ehinger C'80, who committed $3 million in support of the project. Initially, Tony Ehinger raised $500,000 from members of his graduating class to renovate the center's pub, now known as the C'80 Pub. Other key donors include John H. Crawford III T'65, past chair of the board of trustees, and his wife, Cathie '64, who gave $1 million to create a new lecture hall that doubles as event space, and trustee Gates Hawn and his wife, Mary Ellen, who donated $300,000 for a commuter lounge.
Ehinger, a retired investment banker who met early on with architect Victoria Pivovarnick of KSS Associates in Princeton, N.J., dropped by the site regularly during construction. "It's gorgeous—awesome," Ehinger said at the time. "But what's going to be even cooler is seeing kids enjoying the space."

TUSCALOOSA | The wind was blowing in Sunday at Rhoads Stadium, and for five innings the top-ranked University of Alabama softball team was mostly flying out.
TUSCALOOSA | The wind was blowing in Sunday at Rhoads Stadium, and for five innings the top-ranked University of Alabama softball team was mostly flying out.
The Crimson Tide failed to muscle balls out of the park through the stiff breeze, and found itself in a low-scoring tie game with Winthrop.
Alabama utilized a different approach to take a lead in the sixth inning, and then got a bonus on Danielle Richard's three-run home run to notch a 6-1 victory over the Eagles.
Alabama improved to 16-0, sweeping through the Bama Bash tournament.
Eight of the Crimson Tide's first 15 outs came on long fly balls, including a few that had home-run potential if not for the wind, but the wind wasn't the only factor. UA coach Patrick Murphy credited losing pitcher Sutton Watson (4-2), who kept Alabama hitters off-balance with her off-speed offerings.
"She was throwing 80 percent screwballs," Murphy said. "She had pitched well earlier in the tournament. We knew she was good."
With the top of the order up in a 1-1 game to start the bottom of the sixth inning, Alabama played small ball. Left fielder Kayla Braud got it started with a bunt single. She moved to second when freshman center fielder Haylie McCleney also dropped a bunt and was thrown out on a bang-bang play at first.
The Eagles (3-6) elected to pitch around Kaila Hunt, who had hit a solo home run in the first inning for UA's only run to that point, walking her, and first baseman Jadyn Spencer lifted a ball just over shortstop for a bases-loading single.
Shortstop Danae Hays, robbed of a home run at the wall in the fourth inning, also sliced a ball just over the left side of the infield to bring in two runs, putting Alabama up 3-1.
"I knew I had to make something happen," Hays said.
Richard came up next and really made something happen, hitting a shot over the wall in the left-field corner to make it 6-1.
"The pitcher was getting me a little bit," Richard said. "Before I got to that at-bat, I said I'm going to make an adjustment in the box and I'm going to crush the ball."
The adjustment was stepping back a little bit to give herself more room to swing away at an inside pitch. It was the kind of thing Murphy wanted to see on a day when he sat several regular starters. He resisted the temptation to bring more proven hitters off the bench with the game tight.
"They've got to experience the stress and the pressure," Murphy said. "If I don't let them experience that, I don't know how they are going to react.
"We have a lot of options. Competition is the key. When you have so many options, they make each other better."
Winning pitcher Lauren Sewell (3-0) continued her way back from last year's season-ending knee injury, throwing a two-hitter with four walks and five strikeouts. Winthrop's run was unearned, coming in the first inning after an error.
Alabama will host Samford on Wednesday at 6 p.m. to start a stretch of six home games in four days.

I just got word that the BBC is poised to announce that "Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series" will hit Blu-ray and DVD on November 9 and that it will contain a truly tantalizing extra: two newly filmed sequences, both written by Steven Moffat and available only in this collection.
They are called "Meanwhile, in the TARDIS … " and, as that title suggests, they are drop-in moments that show what happens between the episodes — I suspect they're the comedy mortar between the story bricks, and with Moffat's wry sensibility and the daft charms of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, I'm guessing these interstitial escapades have a chance to be pretty entertaining.
Down at Comic-Con International on Thursday, there are two panels and a screening that should interest the Whovians, the big one being the 8 p.m. screening of the season's two-part finale. It's the U.S. premiere of the season's big finish, which met with strong reviews back in the U.K. when aired June 26.
Smith's first year in the TARDIS was a romp; the upgrades to the show in production values, the shake-up in the creative team and the deft casting of Smith and Gillan took the series onward and upward in a way I didn't think possible after David Tennant's departure from the lead role. If you missed it, the home-video release might be a, uh, timely way to jump on board with a show that looks to have bigger and better things ahead.

Ohio celebrates Statehood Day in honor of founding
- Written by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio is turning 211 years old with this year's Statehood Day celebration.
Saturday's commemoration marks the convening of the first General Assembly in Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAWTH'-ee) on March 1, 1803. Ohio was the 17th state to join the Union.
Events leading up to Ohio's founding included the adoption of its first state constitution on Nov. 29, 1802, and Congress' passage of the Enabling Act on Feb. 19, 1803, that recognized Ohio statehood and established the U.S. District Court for Ohio.
The state capitol was moved temporarily to Zanesville in 1810, restored to Chillicothe in 1812 and relocated to Columbus in 1816.

Justified 4.10: "We've gotta figure out how to get out of Harlan alive"
Justified Season 4, Episode 10 recap.
We're getting down to the end, which means sh*t is starting happen, fast. THERE MAY BE SPOILERS.
I wondered if they would ever find a way to use that line, from the song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive", which they used in the finales of season 1 and 2. It's a nice call back.
At the beginning of this season, I was like "where the f*ck is all this going?" but the last few episodes have been some of my favorite EVER. It's not as consistent an effort as season 2, but pound for pound, I'm enjoying season 4 more. The show is officially on fire. How is everyone not watching this?! (Lainey. I'm looking at you.)
Gutterson and Raylan discuss the women's clothes in Drew Thompson's house while Boyd needles Raylan. Boyd brings up Arlo but Raylan doesn't tell him Alro is dead. It makes for nice subtext when Raylan tells Boyd he's thinking of arranging for Boyd to see Arlo soon.
Rachel (to Gutterson and Raylan): Art doesn't want you two left alone.
Raylan: He said that?
What do we call Sheriff Shelby now that we know he's Drew Thompson? Shrew?
Ellen Mae wants to run away with Shelby. God. She's so pathetic. She's going to have a horrible, heartbreaking death scene one of these days. Drew gives her some money and leaves her, but then has a change of heart. So he's going to run off with the hooker half his age. You go, Drew. Shelby. Whatever.
Something about a light on at the air field spooked Shelby (Drew, whatever) and he has Ellen Mae keep driving. Good call—Rachel and Raylan have the place staked out.
Rachel is back! She's been virtually invisible the last few episodes (and by that token, Gutterson will be pretty much gone from this one—it's like those two can't share screen time or the space-time continuum will collapse). She is taking precisely none of Raylan's sh*t.
And yet somehow, Raylan still doesn't do what she says.
Ha! Art mentions the long-ass drive from Lexington to Harlan. BECAUSE IT IS A LONG-ASS DRIVE.
Raylan: I hope they broke [Boyd's] cell phone in half before they let him go.
Rachel: I think you're the only person who does stuff like that.
God. This dialogue.
Raylan connects the ladies' underwear from Shelby's house to Ellen Mae. He calls it "whore's underwear". Rachel's comeback? "By the way, I have that same pair of panties."
Art has an amazing soliloquy recapping how badass Drew Thompson is. Nick Searcy knocks it out of the park. Because everyone and everything about Justified is on fire right now.
Raylan's hail-Mary road block impedes Shelby and Ellen Mae's escape. They're desperate for a place to hide, and Mykelti Williamson was listed in the guest star credits. Which means one thing: Noble's Holler.
Boyd still has his cell phone.
Ava is in hiding, going stir crazy. Boyd's looking for Ellen Mae and Drew (Shelby, whatever, Jesus).
How is Colt still alive? Gutterson is seriously dropping the ball.
Oh Ellen Mae. Sweetie. You're never going to see the ocean.
Of course Wynn Duffy uses a sleep mask. Of course he does.
And now Johnny Crowder is after Shelby.
Yep. Ellstin Limehouse. He is a lot less "aw shucks, boss" than he was last time we saw him. Turns out, the Marshals cleaned out his banking business and he's in the hole with his investors. Shelby tries to leave Ellen Mae with him for protection.
Ellen Mae is not keen on being left.
And now Limehouse is in the "sell out Drew Thompson to Theo Tonin" business, too.
For the first time, Shelby actually looks afraid. Jim Beaver is killing it this week.
So this is Nicky Cush, the manager of Audrey's before Ava (and Delroy before her). He's a total scuzz bucket. No surprise there.
Boyd's idea of torture is to ask the dude he's about torture if he has another battery for his drill. And then threaten to drill the guy's teeth out.
Ava is with Limehouse, too. And man, Limehouse really does not like Boyd.
Justified has this simple piano melody that pops up every now again, always presaging something terrible. Last time we heard it, Gary Hawkins ate it. The melody plays as Ellen Mae and Ava see each other.
Limehouse wants $300K for Shelby and Ellen Mae, which is all the money Boyd and Ava have. So much for the house on Clover Hill.
Boyd is getting in deep with Nicky Augustine and Theo Tonin. He's going to be so f*cked when this situation inevitably goes south on him.
Terri has had it up to here with talking about Ellen Mae. Raylan and Rachel interrupt Johnny interrogating her.
Raylan: As much as I don't consider myself the type, I have become a frequenter of this particular whorehouse.
Man, everyone is ON FIRE. David Meunier is fantastic as Johnny's tolerance of Boyd gives out completely.
Limehouse must be in a really bad spot after losing his money to the Marshals. For $300K, he'll only let Boyd have one person, Ellen Mae or Shelby. Boyd wants to take Ellen Mae to protect Ava, but Ava makes him take Shelby to secure their future.
Ellen Mae doesn't take it well AT ALL. She's pretty much signed her death warrant.
Shelby tells Ava and Boyd about Arlo. Boyd gets that look on his face. That "godd*mn you, Raylan" look.
Shelby is not going to be able to guilt trip Boyd into letting him go, especially not by invoking Bo Crowder. Nor is he going to be able to rile up Colt enough to kill him.
While everyone is killing it lately, Ron Eldard has been crushing it all season as Colt.
The Marshals show up just in time to scare off Nicky Augustine and take custody of Shelby.
Gutterson looks a little too intense, running off to chase Colt. Somehow Art doesn't know about his junkie buddy yet.

UAE. Starting the second half of 2017, geopolitical tensions weighed down on investors' sentiments affecting regional markets' performance.
Over the week, five out of the eight regional indices ended lower with Saudi Arabia coming in as the worst performer among its peers, down by -3%, followed by Kuwait and Qatar were both headed south by -1.2% followed by Abu Dhabi -0.7% and Egypt -0.2%. Dubai and Bahrain were modestly up by +0.3% and +0.1% over the week, while Oman remained unchanged over the same period.
Over the week, regional markets lacked any sound macro news except for Egypt where the CBE announced increasing its rates again by 200 bps, this comes directly after the recently announced increases in fuel prices by more than 40%, the application of the additional 1% in VAT and the increase in electricity prices.
Oil is still hovering around USD 46 per barrel, ending last week down by 4.2%.for the coming period, macro news coupled with the awaited 2Q 2017 earnings will be the main movers to most of the markets' performances.

Ole Miss NCAA Tournament projection:
Mark Etheridge, SEBaseball.com (May 19): No. 2 seed in Louisville Regional
Kendall Rogers, Perfect Game (May 20): No. 2 seed in Clemson Regional
Mayers to make second-straight start on four days' rest: Head coach Mike Bianco announced Monday that junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the start against Kentucky. It will be his second-straight start on four days' rest. He enters the contest with a 4-5 record to go along with a 3.21 ERA, .229 B/AVG, 1.20 WHIP and 66-to-30 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder threw 105 pitches in a 7-1 loss to LSU this past Thursday, giving up five runs on seven hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in six innings of work. He threw 94 pitches the in a 3-0 win against Mississippi State the previous Saturday, as he worked seven scoreless innings, giving up two hits with two walks and five strikeouts.
Mayers will be making his third career start against Kentucky, the second of the season. He won each of the two previous meetings, both matched against Kentucky starter Jerad Grundy, as he allowed a combined six runs -- four earned -- in 13.1 innings. Earlier this year, he allowed three runs -- one earned -- on one hit with three walks and eight strikeouts in six innings.
Wahl 'day-to-day in his workload': Mike Bianco said that the availability of junior right-hander Bobby Wahl is another thing they will talk about today. He said Wahl won't start Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, but may work out of the bullpen.
"We want to pitch him, we need to pitch him, but we have to be careful and make sure he's really feeling good when the regional rolls around," Bianco said of Wahl.
Bianco in SEC Tournament openers, elimination games: Mike Bianco has advanced to 11 SEC Tournaments in his 13-year tenure at Ole Miss. He is 6-4 all-time in SEC Tournament openers.
With the new tournament format this season, the first round is single elimination before double elimination will begin with the final eight teams, including the top four seeds. Bianco is 8-9 all-time in SEC Tournament elimination games, including a 2-0 win against Arkansas and 11-2 loss to LSU last season.
Bianco also won the 2006 SEC Tournament without facing elimination, winning four straight, capped by a 9-3 win against Vanderbilt 9-3 in the final. He is 19-18 all-time in SEC Tournament games.
Mathis stays hot at the top: Senior outfielder Tanner Mathis has reached base in 18 straight games and has raised his average 51 points to. 272 during that span. He was 7-for-10 with four walks in three games against LSU this past weekend.
Mathis has started all but one game and leads the team with 32 walks and ranks second on the team with a .408 on-base percentage.
"All of them have swung the bat great," Bianco said of the top and middle of his lineup. "(Austin) Anderson, (Tanner) Mathis, (Stuart) Turner, (Andrew) Mistone, they just continue to get hotter and hotter as the postseason gets closer. You need a handful of guys in the middle or at the top of the lineup to produce runs."
Familiar foe in Kentucky: Ole Miss and Kentucky met in a three-game series in April in Oxford with the Rebels dropping the series 2-1 to the Wildcats. Kentucky rallied to win the series opener 3-2 on the ESPNU Thursday Night Game of the Week. Ole Miss evened the series with a 11-5 win in game two, but was unable to complete a ninth-rally in a 5-4 loss in the series finale.
Ole Miss and Kentucky also met in last year's SEC Tournament opener with the Wildcats winning 2-0. Matt Snyder went 4-for-4 at the plate, while Bobby Wahl allowed just two runs on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
Where Kentucky is now: Kentucky, picked third in the SEC Eastern Division in the preseason poll, began the season ranked as high as No. 8 in one poll. The Wildcats began the season 22-6, winning 14 of their first 16 games before the start of SEC play.
Kentucky started SEC play with three straight series wins against Florida, Mississippi State and Georgia before dropping three straight series to LSU, Tennessee and South Carolina prior to its series against Ole Miss. Since its series win at Ole Miss, Kentucky is 4-7, including series losses to Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Missouri.
Including nonconference games, Kentucky is 8-18 (5-16 in SEC play) since its 22-6 start and has fallen out of the polls. The Wildcats enter the SEC Tournament with a No 38 RPI, No. 25 strength of schedule and a 13-17 record against the RPI Top 50. Kentucky head coach Gary Herderson said they need a significant run, if not win the SEC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.
Grundy faces Ole Miss for the third time: Senior left-hander Jerad Grundy gets the nod on the mound for Kentucky, his third career start for Ole Miss. He took the loss in each of the two previous starts, as he allowed a combined 15 runs in 10.1 innings. Earlier this year, he allowed nine runs on 12 hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 5.2 innings, as Ole Miss won 11-5.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder enters Tuesday's contest with a 6-5 record to go along with a 4.75 ERA, .286 B/AVG, 1.36 WHIP and 60-to-20 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Ole Miss is 9-13 against left-handed starters this season.
Grundy, a 26th-round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins in the 2012 MLB Draft, started the season in the weekend rotation and won five of his first six decisions, including wins against Florida and Mississippi State.
He then suffered three straight losses to Georgia, LSU and Tennessee, followed by a no-decision against South Carolina and a loss to Ole Miss and was removed from the weekend rotation. In the two midweek starts since, against Wright State and Indiana, Grundy is 1-0 with a 1.64, allowing just two runs on nine hits with two walks and seven strikeouts in 11 innings.
"He ran into a rough four-game stretch in the middle of the year," Kentucky head coach Gary Henderson said of Grundy. "We moved him out of the rotation, and he was able to relax and get back to being himself, which is what we saw for the last year and a half. He's pitched much, much better the last two or three times out than he had the previous four."
What's at stake for Kentucky:
I think so. RT @kyletucker_cj: @aaronfitt UK, off losing 2 of 3 at Mizzou & with just 11 SEC wins, gotta win SEC tournament to get in NCAA?

Western Cape: Errors won't affect matric exam results
The Western Cape says pupils would receive their results from noon on Thursday as scheduled, even though the national department of basic education misreported the aggregate numbers.
School principals in the province received the matric results for their schools at 8am as scheduled, the Western Cape education department said on Thursday, adding they would be releasing those results to pupils from noon.
"The results will be available on our website from 3pm," said Bronagh Casey, spokesperson for the province's education minister Donald Grant. "They will only be published in the newspapers on Friday, which may be where the confusion comes in."
Casey said it was standard practise for the province to first provide the results to principals under embargo so that they could identify any errors or identify candidates "who may be upset or distraught so we can arrange counselling".
The delay, compared to other provinces, who made results available on Wednesday morning, was entirely unrelated to errors in the aggregate figures published by the department of basic education on Wednesday, she said.
In a technical report published by the national department on Wednesday, the number of pupils who achieved a diploma-level pass is listed as 1 459. According to the provincial database, Casey said, that number was actually 14 602.
The error created a discrepancy of 13 141 for the provincial figures, which would mean that around a third of candidates would be affected. But by mid-morning on Thursday it seemed that the error would not affect the results reported to individual pupils, and did not impact the overall pass rate reported for the province. The Western Cape was the only province where the overall pass rate did not increase, recording a decline of just under 0.1%.
But the error does affect the analysis of the performance of the province. Using the published figures, the Western Cape fared quite poorly – shockingly so, compared to 2011 – at the higher levels of matric passes.
Using the apparently correct numbers, 69.2% of all candidates in the Western Cape achieved either a bachelor or diploma pass. That compares favourably with Gauteng, where the equivalent number is 70%; for the rest of the country that number ranges from 42.8% in the Eastern Cape to 63% in the Free State.
The technical report also contained errors on the number of matric pupils enrolled in Mpumalanga; the gender split for those who had passed in various provinces; and consistently misreported the percentage increases in both pass rates both nationally and for provinces.
The national education department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Judge grants preliminary OK for NO jail reforms
Judge grants preliminary OK for NO jail reforms
A federal judge has granted preliminary approval of an agreement between the Justice Department and the city of New Orleans that's designed to clean up the city-funded jail.
The consent decree with Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman calls for him to provide adequate medical and mental health care and overhaul policies on use of force and rape prevention, among other reforms. U.S. District Judge Lance Africk's approval Tuesday is a step towards implementing some of those reforms.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice, Gusman, and a group of current and former inmates represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center reached a settlement on the issue. But the city, which funds the jail, objected and is at financial odds with Gusman.

NIU coaches, players react to Orange Bowl loss
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Coach Rod Carey wasn't ready to assess the impact of Northern Illinois' first appearance in a Bowl Championship Series game when he was asked the question minutes after Tuesday night's Orange Bowl loss to Florida State.
"Not a good time to ask me that question," he snapped after the 31-10 whipping in Sun Life Stadium.
Nor did he care to talk about how he might balance the defeat with the remarkable season that had just ended with his team going 12-2, winning the Mid-American Conference title, and cracking the national rankings.
"Well, talk to me tomorrow and I'm sure I'll have it in better balance," he said. "I hate to lose, and I know these guys do, too.
"I told you when I first got the job, I wear my emotions on my sleeve, and I'm upset."
Junior quarterback Jordan Lynch opened up a bit more than his coach after the defeat.
Lynch was harassed throughout the evening, getting sacked three times in addition to rushing 23 times, an Orange Bowl-record for a quarterback. Still, he saw the experience of going against the best defense the Huskies had faced all season as something that would pay dividends.
"We stuck around with them for a little bit, and we competed with them and we played hard," he said. "We had a lot of young guys on our team, and I feel like we can carry this over until next year.
"It's just a learning experience."
The major disappointment, he said, was not sending the seniors out on a winning note.
One of those seniors was defensive end Alan Baxter. The Buffalo Grove product closed out his career with two tackles, a disappointment for him, but he was able to put things in perspective.
"I've had an amazing career in my four years here," he said. "We've been in a bowl game four straight years, and we've been in three (MAC) championship games and we've won two of them.
"It's been amazing just making it to this level. It's awesome. And it's awesome for the young guys because the young guys will be able to see this and be able to improve next year when they get to this level, because they're going to do good next year, too."
Florida State's offense, at least on Tuesday, was just a bit too much for the Huskies to handle.
"They're very well-coached, and they have good size and good speed," Baxter said. "They're just a very, very good solid offense."
Nothing the Seminoles did was particularly surprising, though. Florida State ran for 243 yards and threw for 291 in a balanced approach. Fullback Lonnie Pryor scored on runs of 60 and 37 yards, and quarterback E.J. Manuel threw for a touchdown and scored another on a 9-yard run.
"They came out and did what we expected them to do," Northern Illinois senior defensive end Sean Progar said. "They ran a lot of stretch and power.
"They got a few big plays on us, and any time you give up big plays against a team like Florida State, it's going to hurt you. They out-executed us at certain times. I think that was the biggest thing."
For one brief period in the third quarter, when the Huskies recovered an onside kick after scoring their only touchdown, it looked as if they might have a shot at pulling off what would have been a stunning upset.
However, Florida State squashed that hope with an interception on the ensuing series, and the Huskies never threatened the rest of the way.
Disappointed as he was, Lynch thought back to the start of a season that saw the Huskies open with a one-point loss at Iowa, hardly an auspicious beginning to the campaign.
"None of this was even possible," was how the thinking went, Lynch said, referring to the Orange Bowl. "No one was even thinking about this, a MAC school making a BCS bowl.
"I still want to say that we made our school proud, and we made the MAC conference proud."

It could happen here
Deadly tornado visits city during training session.
Imagine a giant twister churning through the heart of Gothenburg.
As sirens wail, you may be huddled safely in your basement.
Outside, violent winds could be ripping out natural gas and power lines and wells that provide water.
Trees could topple and branches could fall onto homes, buildings and streets.
No electricity. No water. No gas. No communication.
And no way for ambulances and fire trucks to get through the city.
Gothenburg fire fighters, city officials and others lived through such a scenario.
At a recent monthly training activity, fire and rescue training officer Kent Kline showed slides of how a tornado devastated Greensburg, KS, in May of 2007.
Kline then simulated a twister cutting a swath through Gothenburg—roughly between Ninth and 20th Streets.
Figuring where each fire fighter and rescue crew member lived and the location of city infrastructure such as electrical substations and wells, he asked what they would do if a tornado sliced through the city.
"We don't think about tornadoes hitting the middle of Gothenburg or how many people might be affected or pieces of infrastructure wiped out," Kline said.
In addition to fire fighters, city officials and local law enforcement were invited as were the county sheriff and civil defense director and representatives from gas, rural electric and public power companies.
Each representative then brainstormed about how a devastating tornado would affect their entity.
For example, if the tornado separates the fire hall from the hospital, where and how would the injured be transported?
Without cell towers and electricity, how could fire and rescue be dispatched?
Fire chief Mark Ballmer said some of the newest members of the fire department learned that fire trucks and ambulances go to specific locations with storm spotters whenever the National Weather Service issues severe weather watches.

Food For Thought
Chuck BaldwinMore About: Gun Rights
Don't Try That In Montana!
By now, everybody in the country knows about the horrific shootings at a packed theater in the metro Denver area last week. Twelve people were killed and scores were wounded. Predictably, gun-control zealots nationwide are shouting for stricter gun control laws. Not only that, some are even calling for the TSA to set up airport-style screening devices in movie theaters.
So, if the TSA is going to set up screening devices for movie theaters, why not grocery stores, department stores, malls, strip malls, churches, boy scout meetings, girl scout meetings, soccer matches, little league baseball games, concerts, rodeos, etc., etc. Heck, let's just put TSA screeners at any gathering that attracts more than, say, ten people! What about the cost, you ask? Who cares? It's all about being safe, right? If big-government toadies have taught us anything over the past several years it is that the American people are a bunch of helpless, defenseless sheep who owe all of their safety and security to the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-caring federal government, right?
Whether the Denver shooter was a plain old wacko or a product of some sort of sophisticated MK Ultra-type assassination program, as some are suggesting, the reason twelve people died and so many were wounded is because the laws of the city and rules of the movie theater demanded that patrons disarm themselves. Had only one or two individuals in that movie theater been armed, the outcome could have been much different. Twelve people are dead, because the movie theater was a gun-free zone! Obviously, bad guys do not pay any attention to gun-free zones, except to note that such zones create a free-killing environment.
Have readers ever noticed that these so-called "madmen" are never crazy enough to try and attack guys at a gun range? Gee! I wonder why not?
One thing the national news media will always ignore is the practice of lawful self-defense. For example, most people are probably not aware of the fact that American citizens use a firearm to defend themselves more than 2.4 million times EVERY YEAR. That is more than 6,500 times EVERY DAY. This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. Furthermore, of the 2.4 million self-defense cases, more than 192,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual assault. And in less than eight percent of those occasions is a shot actually fired. The vast majority of the time (92%), the mere presence of a firearm helps to avert a major crime from occurring. That is what Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) concluded after extensive research. According to Rep. Bartlett, the number of defensive uses is four times the number of crimes reported committed with guns.
John Lott, senior research scientist at the University of Maryland, agrees with Bartlett. His book "More Guns, Less Crime" documents the fact that firearms in the hands of private citizens are actually a major deterrent to crime–instead of being a cause of crime.
One thing America's founders unanimously agreed on was the necessity of free people to keep and bear arms. In light of the Denver shootings, Thomas Jefferson's counsel makes even more sense. He said, "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." If the Denver killings prove anything, they prove Jefferson's perceptive pronouncement.
But civilian disarmament has consequences even greater than those of a lone gunman attacking people in a movie theater. Some years back, Alan Rice of the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) wrote, "Since 1900 at least seven major genocides have occurred resulting in the murder of 50-60 million people:
*Ottoman Turkey, 1915-17; 1-1.5 million Armenians murdered; *Soviet Union, 1929-53; 20 million anti-Communists and anti-Stalinists murdered; *Nazi Germany & Occupied Europe, 1933-45; 13 million Jews, Gypsies, and Anti-Nazis murdered; *China, 1949-52, 1957-60 & 1966-1976; 20 million anti-Communists murdered; *Guatemala, 1960-1981; 100,000 Mayan Indians murdered; *Uganda, 1971-1979; 300,000 Christians and Political Rivals of Idi Amin murdered; *Cambodia, 1975-1979; 1 million murdered."
Rice continued to say, "In all seven of the genocides summarized above, gun control laws were in force before the genocide occurred, in some cases decades before. In five of the seven genocides, the lethal law, the gun control law was in force before the genocide regime took power."
Rice also said, "Gun control laws are usually enacted during a crisis or a perceived crisis." He then said, "Government officials, not hate groups or common criminals, were responsible for these seven genocides. In most of these cases the murder victims outnumbered their murderers; yet they were powerless to defend themselves because they were disarmed."
It should not be lost to the American people that tomorrow (Friday, July 27, 2012) President Barack Obama is scheduled to sign the UN Small Arms treaty. See this Fox News report:
Many people are rightly concerned that this treaty, instead of doing anything to thwart terrorists, could be a tool of anti-gun politicians in Washington, D.C., (including Mr. Obama) to try to confiscate the firearms of the American people.
I really don't know how to say this gently. And, of course, I cannot speak for everyone, but I suspect I'm speaking for millions of red-blooded Americans all over the country when I say that if the government–any government–tries to disarm us, it had better bring a lot of body bags, because, treaty or no treaty, law or no law, we will never surrender our firearms! NEVER!
And, for all of those potential "crazed killers" out there who are thinking about duplicating the Denver shootings someplace else, don't try that in Montana! I promise you, in virtually every public gathering place of any size in this State, a substantial percentage of the citizens in the crowd are packing heat–and are well versed on how to operate their "pocket cannon," and have the internal fortitude to do it, and to do it quickly!
So, if there are any lessons from this horrific incident in that movie theater outside Denver, Colorado, they are that an unarmed citizenry is a very foolish and vulnerable citizenry, that the American people cannot–and should not–depend on government to protect them, that they must be responsible to protect themselves, and that they must not allow any government–no matter how large or small–to disarm them! In other words, if you don't own a gun, go buy one–and learn how to use it; if you have a gun, carry it; and if you live in a city or State that will not allow you to carry a gun, MOVE TO A PLACE THAT WILL!

Those pesky rumors of trouble in Kendra Wilkinson's marital paradise simply refuse to go away.
The Dancing With The Stars contestant and Playboy Playmate graces the latest cover of In Touch magazine with hubby Hank Baskett under the heading "Torn Apart By Another Woman."
Except when you read the article, it is actually Kendra who is reported to be cheating on her husband with another woman. That woman is Jessica Hall, also a Playboy Playmate.
In Touch reports Kendra is very unhappy in her marriage and on March 26, she flew off to Las Vegas with her girlfriend Jessica. The two were then spotted making out at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic.
In between the girl on girl make-out sessions and endless shots, onlookers reveal the girls really seemed to be enjoying each other's company. "After a bunch of drinks, Kendra and Jessica really started getting crazy," a source tells In Touch. She "looked thrilled to be letting loose without her man in town."
As for Hank, he is said to be unhappy about Kendra's Vegas trip. "He hadn't wanted it to be a girls' trip," a source explains adding that Hank and Kendra have been fighting non stop lately.
"They were arguing a lot right before DWTS started," reveals another source. "Kendra wanted to spend more time with friends. But Hank thought she should be with him and Hank Jr."
"They just keep dragging on the misery," adds the insider. "Sometimes, it seems like it would be best to end it." Yikes.

3 Creative Ways To Wear Your Denim Jacket
Whatever style you own, we guarantee you can use it to recreate one of these looks!
For an additional layer that won't get lost under a chunky knit, reach for an oversized denim jacket. Keep things interesting (and reduce bulkiness) by doing only one button at the top, and allowing your cuffs to peek out.
Stylist Note: The hemlines of your top layers should match, ideally hitting at the hip.
Coach Handknit Aran Shawl Cardigan ($798) in Flare
Levis Red Tab Trucker Jacket ($58)
KAIN Label V Neck Tee ($88) in White
See by Chloe Printed Pajama Pants ($395) in Black
Stuart Weinstein Pipenouveau Pump ($465) in Black Dappled Hair
See by Chloe Pernette Minaduiere ($490) in Black
Available at Z Collection (949 715 2245)
Instead of wearing a shirt, button your denim jacket all the way up and layer it under a coat or leather jacket.
Stylist Note: This works best with thinner, more fitted styles as they will tuck into high-waisted pants or skirts easily.
A.P.C. New Dolly Coat ($2130) in Chestnut
Citizen of Humanity Borderline Jacket ($275) in Circa (available end of November)
Monika Chang Leather Cropped Parallel Pant ($1050) in Black

Mason Stanley Harpoon Wrap Bangle ($2700) in 14k Solid Gold
Mason Stanley Bermuda Stud Drop Earrings with Pave Diamonds ($900) Rose Gold
Only your granddad still calls it a Canadian tuxedo. Layering a denim jacket over a denim shirt is a great counterpoint to a ladylike skirt. It is also an easy way to add structure and polish to a casual look.
Stylist Note: Make sure to wear two different tones of denim in the same colour family (think: dark blue and light blue).
Levi's Authentic Trucker Jacket ($78) in Dark

Feedbacks between Arctic climate change and glacial ice discharge: Using seismic observations to constrain water transport to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet
OCCI/Arctic Research Initiative
2007 Funded Project
Some of the most dramatic predicted effects of climate change, including global sea level rise and the alteration of ocean circulation patterns, result from the response of polar ice sheets to rising global temperature. Until recently it was believed that the response of thick (> 1 km) ice sheets to climate change would be relatively slow due to the long time scales (~1000 yr) needed for temperature variations at the surface to reach the bed via thermal conduction and diffusion. Recent observations from the Greenland Ice Sheet, however, suggest that ice sheets have the potential to respond much more rapidly and dramatically to climate change than was previously believed. Specifically, new data show ice-flow acceleration on time scales of days to weeks following the onset of surficial melting, suggesting that meltwater drains advectively through the ice sheet, rapidly lubricating and warming the bed. Understanding the mechanisms of meltwater transport is thus critical for incorporating these feedbacks into models of ice-sheet evolution and for estimating the rates and magnitudes of past and future ice sheet drawdown and sea level change.
One mechanism that has been proposed to rapidly transport meltwater from the surface to the bed of an ice sheet is the propagation of water-filled fractures that initiated beneath supraglacial lakes that form annually at the surface. However, while theoretical models suggest this is a plausible transport mechanism, water-filled crack propagation has never been observed in thick subfreezing ice sheets. As part of the WHOI Arctic Initiative we propose to deploy a new network of seismometers around two supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet. These lakes are currently being monitored by as part of a 3-year NSF project and have been observed to drain seasonally. The proposed seismic network will enable us to constrain seismicity (i.e., icequakes) associated with lake drainage and determine 1) whether crack propagation coincides with drainage and 2) the maximum depth extent of crack penetration. These measurements would provide the first direct evidence for rapid meltwater transport from supraglacial lakes to the bed of Greenland Ice Sheet.

BOSTON — Just after the Bruins' morning skate ended with Chris Bourque staying on the ice along with perennial healthy scratches Lane MacDermid and Aaron Johnson, TSN reporter Bob McKenzie broke the news that the Bruins had placed Bourque on waivers.
That made it even more likely that Jay Pandolfo, who did not stay on the ice for extra work after a hard-working AM skate by the Bruins, would open tonight's game against Toronto on the third line with Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly at TD Garden.
After the skate, coach Claude Julien declared confidence in his bottom six forwards and in Kelly and Peverley's ability to turn things around. So far this season, Kelly and Peverley are a combined minus-15.
"It's pretty obvious, I think that it's been a bit of a challenge for us," Julien said. "I think our fourth line played their best game, probably in a year and a half, last game in Washington. They were a real big factor. I thought they had some great scoring chances, a lot of O-zone time and everything else. If they can continue to play like that, then we've just got to kind of hope that our third line can turn a corner here.
"There's two guys in Peverley and Kelly that were great assets and big plus players last year that are struggling right now to get that part of their game going. The one thing you don't do is lose confidence in them. They've just got to work their way through it. That's part of their job and it's part of our job. We know what they're capable of doing and everybody in that room knows they're capable of getting better presence from them than we've had so far."

Jimtown spoils Triton Senior Night
BOURBON — It is nice to face a lesser foe on senior night. The Triton volleyball team was not so fortunate Thursday evening.
Jimtown put a damper on the festivities honoring Triton's eight seniors with a 25-15, 25-18, 25-17 win, its 18th of the season.
"I'm really proud of the way the girls played tonight," Triton coach Terrin Meister said. "We did do some great things, but we just have to get over that hump."
Jimtown (18-6, 4-2 Northern State Conference) knew it had to overcome a motivated opponent.

The inductee class of 2009
Hiti, Kasatonov, Suchy, Bush & Schell to IIHF Hall of Fame
ZURICH – The 2009 IIHF Hall of Fame will induct five new members on May 5th in Bern, Switzerland. Rudi Hiti (SLO), Alexei Kasatonov (RUS) and Jan Suchy (CZE) will be added to the players' category. Walter Bush Jr. (USA) will be honored as builder while Hungarian referee Laszlo Schell completes the class. The IIHF Hall of Fame has grown to include 155 greats from 22 countries.The ceremony will see two of international hockey's greatest defensemen being honored, with Jan Suchy and Alexei Kasatonov joining the IIHF Hall of Fame.The induction ceremony will as usual also include the prestigious Paul Loicq Award, presented to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the IIHF and international ice hockey. The 2009 prize has been awarded to Harald Griebel of Infront Sports and Media. The Paul Loicq Award is named after the Belgian who was the IIHF's President for 25 years (1922-1947).The induction ceremony will take place on May 5, 2009 in Berne, Switzerland at the 73rd IIHF World Championship (April 24 – May 10)."I would like to congratulate the IIHF Hall of Fame committee and its chairman Tony Rossi on an excellent selection," said IIHF President René Fasel. "Jan Suchy defined the position of the offensive defenseman in international hockey at the end of the 60s while Alexei Kasatonov was the 'good conscience' of the famous Larionov-unit in the 80s, taking care of the defensive responsibilities."Coincidentally, Suchy's induction will take place in the same city where he 38 years ago was named 'Best Defenseman' at the 1971 IIHF World Championship. "Rudi Hiti and Laszlo Schell are representatives of the smaller IIHF nations, where so many great players and officials have performed outstanding roles, without ever getting rightful credit. It is very fitting that the IIHF Hall of Fame recognizes their accomplishments," Fasel said."I simply cannot say enough about Walter Bush. One thing is for sure, international hockey wouldn't be what it is today without his impact. I doubt women's hockey would be an Olympic sport today had Walter not pushed so hard for it in the mid 90s," said Fasel. "Over the course of the last 20-25 years, no hockey nation has improved internationally as much as the United States and the IIHF Hall of Fame committee's decision credits this mainly to Walter's tireless work." "I will be proud to induct this great quintet and to award Harald Griebel during the upcoming IIHF World Championship in Berne on May 5," said the IIHF President. Biographies of the inductees and the Paul Loicq Award winner:
Rudi Hiti is considered as the top Yugoslav/Slovenian player until Anze Kopitar came along. Despite mostly playing in the IIHF World Championship B-pools, Hiti displayed such skill that it caught the interest of the Chicago Blackhawks who invited him to training camp in 1970. Unfortunately, in his first NHL exhibition game, he broke his jaw and never got another chance. Hiti represented his country in 17 IIHF World Championships and two Olympics (Grenoble 1968 and Sapporo 1972). He was named to the World Championship All-Star Team four times. Hiti played club hockey with HK Kranjska Gora, HK Jesenice, HK Olimpija Ljubljana before joining Italy's and HC Alleghe and HC Bolzano. He won four Slovenian/Yugoslav national championships and was an Italian champion three times. Hiti coached the Slovenian national team from 1991- 2000.
Alexei Kasatonov was the least noticeable in the Soviet famous "Green Unit" which featured Vyacheslav Fetisov, Sergei Makarov, Igor Larionov and Vladimir Krutov. But it was Kasatonov who was responsible for the defense as they all – including defensive partner Fetisov – charged forward. Kasatonov won five IIHF World Championship gold medals, two Olympic golds (Sarajevo 1984 and Calgary 1988), the 1981 Canada Cup and was named Best Defenseman of the 1983 IIHF World Championship. He won the Soviet national championship 11 times with CSKA Moscow, playing 576 games in the Soviet and Russian league, with 124 goals. He played 127 national team games, recording 96 points. Kasatonov played seven seasons in the NHL, earning 171 points in 416 games and was the general manager of the Russian Olympic team that won the silver medal in Nagano 1998.
Jan Suchy was without any doubt the most outstanding international defenseman in the late 60s and early 70s. Suchy represented his country 160 times (five IIHF World Championships and the 1968 Olympics) and was the first in Europe to make shot blocking an art. Suchy will be also remembered for his spectacular offensive game that prompted many to call him the "Bobby Orr of Europe". He scored 44 goals for the national team and was named Best Defenseman at the 1969 and 1971 IIHF World Championship. In domestic competition, Suchy starred for Dukla Jihlava from 1963 – 1979 where he played in 562 games scoring 162 goals while winning seven championships. Suchy spent his last five seasons in the Austrian and German leagues, before retiring in 1984.
Walter Bush Jr was an IIHF Council Member between 1986 and 2008. Mr. Bush was instrumental in the efforts that brought women's hockey into the Olympic program in 1998. He was awarded with the Olympic Order in 2002 (IOC's highest individual honor) and was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in 2000 and to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1980.

I think, more important is that the way fglrx works now doesn't allow independent developers to make something like bumblebee, because fglrx works directly with intel driver by means of dirty hacks (not surprising that why Chris Wilson doesn't want to do anything with intel driver in order to keep compatibility with fglrx).
For example, even if I don't use discrete card, fglrx is still loaded. That's why if something is wrong with it, I can't even use intel driver. (Usually it means segfault of Xserver).
