Just saw Halloween
August 31, 2007, 04:27:42 PM »
Damn was this movie good. Rob Zombie did a excellent job of taking the original and giving it more depth, especially with Michael and his family, and greatly increasing the brutal bloody carnage of Michaels killing spree. The story follows pretty much the original although there are some obvious alterations, but its little that I missed or would complain about. My only gripes with the movie is with the editing, sometimes it feels as if the scenes got cut short or there were other scenes that got cut entirely. This throws off the movies pace a little especially near the end, which I got a little bored with considering everything else that happened before it.

I'm going to see this on Saturday. I'm expecting the worse so hopefully it will exceed my expectations a bit. I thought that Devil's Rejects was a lot of fun but House of 1000 Corpses was a complete bore so I'm not sold on Rob Zombie as filmmaker quute yet as a lot of other people are.
As for the editing being off, I do know that Rob did some highly publicized reshoots a little over a month ago and from the reviews of the leaked work print, he made some pretty big changes to his original cut of the movie.

The critics HATE it so far, Rotten Tomatoes has a very low score. I never rely on the views of critics, but they do tend to be the first 'barrier'. A couple of critics have praised it, though. It seems Rob Zombie's effort is much more of a "SAW generation" horror - supposedly the suspense which made the original movie so scary is gone in favour of Jason style brutality. I mean I like both styles but I doubt it'll scare me as much if this is the case, that's not to say it won't be fun.
It still doesn't make sense why it was released now and didn't wait until next month though! I suppose it'll still be in the cinemas when halloween comes and people will be more aware that it's on, and word of mouth will have gotten around about whether it's good or bad, so people will go there for halloween.

Personally while I love the original movie its far from scary for me. The remake is way more gut tightening, especially in the begining with little Mikey. That kid is one of the creepiest kids I have ever seen. I think the reason critics hate it is it's just to extreme for them. There not used to seeing a completely barbaric serial killer, even above Jason. Personally I never cared for the Jason movies as I thought they lacked originality and scares and is way to formuale based. Jason is just a masked killer while in this new Halloween movie Michael actually has a human element to him hes not just mindlessly killing people but actually working towards a goal.

Interesting that critics are b***hing about that - the killer's humanity in the film - which they usually b***h about the lack of.

I'm probably going to see either this film or Superbad after work tomorrow night.
I like the idea that they added a human element to Michael. If the killer has been humanized, then the film should be much more powerful than watching a film with just a mindless killing machine. I don't like the idea of Michael having numerous masks, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
I wouldn't go see the film if it was someone other than Zombie at the helm. I have the utmost faith in the guy and feel that since he is "one of us", he might actually make a good film out of this. Also, the two good reviews on this topic so far have boosted my interest in the film quite a bit.

I'm going to see it today. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they released it in August. Usually it seems August is when the movie companies ship out the bad films, IE, Daddy Day Camp, and a few other flicks I've seen be released.
As far as why they didn't wait until October, I'm not sure. Only thing I can think of is since Saw IV opens Halloween weekend and has a pretty solid built in following, they probably didn't want it to get crushed.
As far as Rob Zombie goes, I've only seen House of 1000 Corpses. I actually didn't mind that, but haven't seen the sequel yet. I'm a bigger fan of him and his music than the films. Either way I hope to enjoy this.

i just saw it today with a group of buds, it was a great remake IMO. the ending was a bit long and dragged out i agree,but that would be my only complaint about the movie. good actors, good plot,good story,good blood, good random chest shots.
it was nice to see how Michael became the way he is.

See my comments in the "bad movie" section. I thought this had a very good beginning and then turned to crap.

My only complaint was the last minute or two, actually. It was working well, then it just ended. No real like, end. I don't wanna say how it is because of people who haven't seen it. But I just didn't like that it just you know, faded to "Directed by Rob Zombie."
Overall, I was really impressed with it. Having seen this and House of 1000 Corpses, I wanna see Devil's Rejects now.

Just made a long post about Halloween under the "bad movies" thread.
I very much disliked the film. It's nothing compared to the original, and can't stand on it's own. The humanizing of Myers doesn't work for me and I felt it to be pedantic overall.
I can't recommend the film to anyone.

My trust in mainstream film critics is at an all time low lately, with more and more exciting new movies getting worse and worse critical reception, but I have finally been pushed to the point where I will never trust a mainstream critic again. I just saw Halloween...
Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre have been the most praised of the obligatory 21st century horror remakes, but I'd place Halloween high above all of these.
Rather than taking the basic idea and creating a whole new movie, or trying to recreate the movie scene for scene, Halloween falls somewhere inbetween. It tells the story of Michael Myers in a much darker, more down-to-earth way and spends a surprisingly long time on it's prologue. We get a very depthy look into the life of 'the shape' as a child, and then at his time spent in the sanitarium with Dr. Loomis. Some people will miss the mystery of the original film (in fact, I'd say 'the shape' was no longer a fitting name), but after the ridiculous backstories, motivations and explanations from the infinite sequels, it's much better to see him return to being an evil maniac for his own reasons.
Mikey Myers is bigger, badder and more frightening than he's ever been, and with his more realistic backstory and completely removed "mythical being who can't die" business, it feels so much more gritty and real. The killings are brutal, hard hitting and realistic. Not once do we see ridiculous cartoony disembodiments, exploding heads or amusing 'creative' killings - the murders in this film are genuinely frightening and the gore is as realistic as it gets. The mask is a surprisingly accurate recreation of that from the original film, and it's dirty, worn and torn look is reminiscent of the similar badassifying of Leatherface in 2003.
I especially liked one moment when, {spoiler}rather than killing off one character, big Mike mortally wounds her and leaves her for dead, crying in pain{end spoiler}. It was particularly nasty and it's something you rarely see in a slasher film (I mean, normally somebody will receive a small wound and die instantly from it in these films.), it really got me scared.
After being a little concerned about some of the acting in the early clips I saw, when I saw the full movie I was relieved, because it's top notch stuff. Malcolm McDowell is just as great at Dr. Loomis as Donald Pleasance was in 1978, and the girls are a lot more Hollywood and a lot less "the director's friends" this time around. As expected, the actress who played the little girl Jamie so stunningly well for a child actress in the old sequels did amazingly as Annie as well.
It seems to have devided it's audience in half between people who like different aspects of a horror movie. A lot of people seem to be upset because it's graphic, gruesome and fast paced as opposed to the ominous, suspenseful tone of the original. I feel that this indicates Rob Zombie's awareness of the fact that in 2007 a knife-wielding man wearing a mask just isn't going to work like it did in '78.
If you're a slasher fan and you can accept a few differences in tone, you'll love this twisted, darker, more gritty and more human take on the Michael Myers story for the Saw generation. Fantastic stuff!

I don't want to cross post, but I put a link to my review of it in the Reviews forum.
I caught it early and managed to be one of the first reviews of the movie on the web. My review is actually wishy washy and I was a lot more forgiving of it than I should have been but at the end of the day, I really didn't care for it. My expectations were pretty low already but it just didn't do well for me. My mostly-negative review received only a couple of comments from the usual comments crew at my blog, but the real vitriol came in the form of email.
From wednesday to sunday I received hundreds of extremely angry, hateful emails from Rob Zombie fans that couldn't believe that I didn't kneel before it. Film Fiend had a similar experience and actually shut his comments off until the a***oles went away. I emailed the guy at Dread Central that reviewed it negatively as well to find that he was being bombarded, too.

Ronnie James Dio's Widow, Wendy Dio, Remarries
The widow of late Dio, Black Sabbath and Heaven and Hell vocalist Ronnie James Dio has remarried. Wendy Dio, who also served as Dio's manager for many years, wed Omar Gimenez in a private ceremony this past Sunday (Sept. 9) in Montecito, California.
Noisecreep reports that the low-key ceremony was made public when the wedding planner for the couple tweeted about it online. The nuptials come two years after Dio lost her husband to stomach cancer.
In that time, Wendy Dio has continued to keep her late husband's memory alive by running Niji Entertainment, the record company they founded together prior to his death, and continually releasing the abundance of material that Dio had recorded over the years. In addition, Niji has grown beyond just Dio's recordings to issue music from the Headcat and others.
The label's next release will be 'The Very Beast of Dio, Vol. 2,' which is due in October.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Steven Souza Jr.'s second home run of the game, a go-ahead, three-run drive in the eighth inning, lifted the Tampa Bay Rays over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 Wednesday.
Souza pulled Tampa Bay to 3-2 in the sixth with a solo homer off J.A. Happ. Tampa Bay has homered in a team-record 18 consecutive games dating to Sept. 20.
Evan Longoria and Desmond Jennings singled off Gavin Floyd (0-1) in the eighth, and Arnold Leon relieved with one out. Souza homered to center for his fourth hit of the game, tying his career high.
Erasmo Ramirez (1-0) allowed one hit over the final two innings as the Rays split the four-game series after losing the first...

The GCFDA is assisting Goshen Parks with the design and installation of a new 18 hole course. Volunteers are needed and welcomed to help bring this new course to life. Below is a link to the park location and the tentative works schedule. Schedule is subject to change due to weather and other factors. To stay up to date on the latest information please check the forums:http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/Default.aspx?tabid=74&g=posts&t=2241&p=2
From 275 take exit 57 (Blanchester Milford exit) and head East on OH 28, turn Right on Goshen road (sign for Kathryn Stagge Marr Community Park). Once you turn onto Goshen rd (Park sign at Turn) you will pass Marr/Cook elementary, and just before a blind right turn is the entrance on the left. Gravel road and parking lot left of hole 1 by the shelter. Pull in with caution of oncoming traffic.
We are continuing with the course wide renovation this year and our goals are to have the new baskets installed with alternate basket locations, All new tee pads, signs and benches. We are also working on expanding at Mt.Airy with a 9 hole course and a good possibility of an additional 18 hole course.
We are also working with Lebanon Parks and Rec with design and installation of a very good 9 hole course in downtown Lebanon. Local Boy Scout troop is handling the majority of the work with our help and guidance. First set of basket anchors are in and the second ones will be scheduled soon. Local Boy Scouts will be installing tee's and signs and working on clearing the remaining brush from the fairways and greens.
Troy Ison and others are working on raising funds to purchase materials needed for permanent Tee pads on several holes and could use all the support they can get. Just installed 7 new fly18 pads and need to raise funds to box them and add gravel base. Contact Troy for more details.
Taylor Mill has had the course closed for the past few years and after meeting with them at the Master plan meeting they will be removing the baskets until all plans are finalized and a redesign is figured out. Removal is for safety reasons and vandalism issues, two of them have already been stolen.

This Cateye light set consists of the Cateye HL-EL010 Uno front light and the Cateye TL-LD630 Rapid 3 rear light. The set is not cheap, but you get a pair of decent lights that will get you seen. Each light runs on a single AA battery, keeping size and weight down while achieving pretty impressive run times and light outputs.
The front light achieves this by using Opticube lens technology to put every lumen available from its single LED to the best possible use. The rear has a high power SMD-LED in the middle, with another LED either side.
For the front, you get a choice of flashing or constant modes while the rear offers three options: on, flashing and rapid. These have obviously been designed by riders; the flashing mode doesn't use the high-power middle LED to avoid blinding anyone sitting on your wheel, while the rapid mode is billed as an "all out attention grabber, using all three LEDs in a unique pattern guaranteed to get you noticed". It's certainly very bright and you wouldn't want to look directly into it at close range.
The rear is definitely the more impressive of the two. It delivers pretty well on the attention grabber promise making you very visible from the sides as well from behind. It's easily as good as some of Cateye's (older) bigger rear lights.
While the front light is also very good, the beam pattern is designed to get you seen and not necessarily to see on unlit roads. That said, for unlit roads it's still great as a back-up light - I like to have a flashing front light as well as a big light on constant. If you're riding around town, its beam throws its narrow pattern a long way, with some sideways visibility too via the transparent ring around the lens.
Both lights use the new Cateye FlexTight bracket, making mounting and taking it off the bike a tool-free doddle. It's not quite as quick as integrated mounting systems like Knog's or the Revolution light we reviewed recently; I wouldn't want to swap it over on a daily basis. You don't necessarily need to though, because Cateye is impressively good at selling spares so you could have a bracket fitted to different bikes. They don't just sell FlexTight brackets either; there is also a new saddle rail mounting system available (among others), and all in stock at decent online retailers.
Claimed run times for the front are 60 hours in flashing mode and 15 hours on constant. For the rear you can expect to get up to three hours on constant, 80 in flashing and 20 hours in rapid mode.
Suggested retail price on these lights when purchased separately is £29.99 for the Uno and £19.99 for the TL-LD630 - a penny cheaper than buying the combo at full retail, (many a mickle makes a muckle and all that), but shop around online and right now you can find it this light set for considerably less than its £49.99 list price.
This set offers a brilliant rear light and great front light for around town or as a back-up - it's worth shopping around to get the best deal

road.cc test report
Make and model: Cateye Uno/Rapid 3 Light Set
Size tested: Black
Tell us what the light is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Cateye say this about the Rapid 3 rear light: "Maximum attention. The CatEye Rapid 3 tail safety light includes a high power center SMD-LED and two 5mm LEDs for outstanding visibility.
Three modes allow you to customize your visibility. The rapid mode is an all out attention grabber, using all 3 LEDs in a unique pattern guaranteed to get you noticed. The flashing mode foregoes the high-power center LED to save blinding your riding buddies, while the constant mode adds a daytime safety option.
The included AA battery will run the Rapid 3 for up to 80hrs and comes with the SP-11 FlexTight™ bracket. Compatible with the all-new RM-1 Saddle Rail bracket and the clothing clip, available separately."
And this about their Uno front light: "Never get caught in the dark again. CatEye's Uno is the perfect light for around-town commuting or for an emergency light for when you stay late at the café.
Super compact design throws more than 400 candlepower with our OptiCube lens technology. One AA battery and one LED will run up to 60 hrs in flashing mode and up to 15 hrs in constant.
Featuring water resistant construction and our FlexTight tool-free mounting bracket that allows you to quickly and easily attach the Uno to virtually any handlebar."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the light?
The Uno front light has one LED light and uses OptiCube lens technology to throw more than 400 candlepower (claimed). The claimed weight, including battery and bracket, is 73 grams. It uses a single AA battery. There are two modes: blinking and on.
The Rapid 3 rear light uses a high power SMD-LED in the middle and two 5mm LEDs on each side. Like the front light, it uses a single AA battery. Claimed weight is 63 grams. There are 3 modes: rapid (all 3 LEDs), flashing (the two outer LEDs) and on (just the center LED).
The construction is as good as we've come to expect from Cateye.
Once you've clocked that you need to hold the button down for a couple of seconds to switch on/off, you're fine.
The Cateye FlexTight brackets need no tools and are really easy to put on and take off your bike.
They've stood up to all kinds of winter weather.
Rear: 3hrs in constant, 80hrs in flashing and 20hrs in rapid mode
Front: 15hrs in constant and 60hrs in flashing mode.
As a "be seen" light, or as a backup to a something that'll light up unlit roads, the front performs really well.
The rear in flashing mode is enough on its own to be seen from a long way away.
They should last you a long time.
Both lights together weight just under 100 grams, including batteries. With the brackets that goes up to 135 grams. Wow!
Easy to use, lightweight, easy to take off and put on your bike.
They're not cheap, but you get a lot of light for your money.
Tell us how the light performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Given that Cateye sell the front for around-town commuting or as an emergency light, I'd say they deliver on their promise with top marks.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the light
The rear really punches above its weight.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the light
'Dislike' is probably a strong word, but I don't like that the rear looks like it has a button on each side. They look identical, yet only one of them works. The little icon isn't really enough to distinguish them.
Did you enjoy using the light? Yes
Would you consider buying the light? I would, especially the rear
Would you recommend the light to a friend? Yes, but I would be clear about what the front is good at.

About Federico Uribe
Federico Uribe transforms common objects, such as sneakers, into colorful figures that stretch the limits of a given material's original use and value. Born in Colombia, the artist moved to the United States to study painting, but he abandoned his painting practice in the early 2000s to create sculptures and installations of human figures and animals. He uses readymade materials in innovative ways; golf balls, for example, serve as the fleece of sheep in some sculptures. Painting remains an important formal influence for Uribe, who often integrates paintbrushes and colored pencils into his works. Explaining the impetus for including such items, the artist has said, "Colored pencils are essentially lines of color that you can make in any size. So essentially it's a line of color that you can build with."
Colombian, b. 1962, Bogota, Colombia, based in Miami, Florida

Captain's Report
Capt. Steve's Report...
Tournament fishing is not for the timid. It's a race to the fishing spot to stake your claim, fish as long as you can, then race back before the weigh-in. In between, you might be racing to several other spots of opportunity that could be at opposite ends of the lake. A boat that brings speed to the table can add another 10 casts to the day, and maybe even 20 or 30 depending on distances and boat speed. Speed can make the difference between winning and losing a boat-load of money. On the other hand too much horsepower on a boat can be dangerous, or just down-right wasteful when it only adds three or four miles per hour to the boat.
Engine choices for the Triton 21HP Elite DC range from 200-300-hp. Happily, the folks at Triton had seen fit to present me with a 21HP powered with a 250-HP Mercury OptiMax Pro XS. Middle of the road in power is where I like to do my reporting, and then you, the reader, have the opportunity to add or subtract from my numbers accordingly to get a ballpark idea of how the boat will perform with more or less horsepower. A rule of thumb used by the engine makers is 7-hp equals 1 mph. That means an extra 50-hp might deliver around 7 more miles per hour. Obviously, the size design, weight and other factors will affect this "rule of thumb," but at least it gives you a starting point. Check around among our engine tests of more and less horsepower on similar boats to get an even better fix on how added hp will effect performance.I was impressed that Triton selected the 250-hp engine for my test boat rather than one powered by a 300-hp Verado, which would obviously max out the boat's speed. In this way with one test they could give consumers a good idea of how the boat would perform with either a 300-hp or a 200-hp engine.
Loading the Boat Up
The performance of all small boats is very weight sensitive. Builders know that, of course, and not surprisingly many provide boats with, say, as little as a quarter of a fuel load for testing. That is why before reading a performance table you need to look at the conditions of the test, the number of people aboard, fuel load, etc. With this little caveat of testing gamesmanship in mind, as the Triton folks took the 21HP over to the fuel dock to prepare the boat for my performance runs, I made mental note to see how they were going to load the boat for the test – light, half-load, or heavy.Would they put in 5, maybe 10 gallons (37.8 L)… tops? I watched the pump continue past 5, then 10, then 20 came and went, 30… 40… finally a gurgling sound could be heard indicating a full tank -- at 54 gallons (204.4L). Okay, if there was ever a case of real world numbers, this will be it. Another favorable impression for Triton, and I hadn't yet set foot on the boat.
Performance Numbers
So how did she do? Not too shabbily as a matter of fact. Starting with an empty weight of 1,840 lbs (834.6 kg) we added 505 lbs (229 kg) for the engine, a full tank of gas, two people, and our test gear to give us a test weight of 3,044 lbs (1,380.7 kg). So let's put those 250-horses to work. Dropping the engine control into gear and stomping my foot down on the hot-foot gas pedal, we launched off across the lake and I watched the speed climb and the water start to blur. I backed off the pedal and started to lift the trim lever mounted to the right side of the steering column and felt the expected push of additional thrust in the small of my back. Then I put the pedal to the stops.
At 60-62 mph (96-100 kph) the expected chine walk started to kick in. Steering through it and continuing to accelerate up to the max of 5800 rpm's the radar gun showed a max of 77.2 mph (124.2 kph). As I said, not too shabby, but then, the wind was at our backs. I ran a duplicate run into the 5 mph (8 kph) wind and recorded 77-mph-even (124 kph). That averages out to be 77.1 mph (124.1). Now we don't normally report fuel burn at top speeds in our written reports (only in the performance tables), but in a tournament, those fishing holes can be a long way away and it is a race.... so at max speed, the Triton 21HP had a fuel burn of 23.1 GPH which means a range of 162 miles at top speed. Her time to reach planing speed was only 3.2 seconds, and she accelerated to 30 mph in 7.1 seconds.
The Layout
The Triton 21HP comes in two flavors, single console and dual console. We tested the dual console (DC) and neither windscreen really did a stellar job of diverting the 77 mph slipstream , but they usually don't. It is still nice to have the second console, as there is a comfort level in having something in front of you to hold on to, as well as the additional storage.At the bow, the 21HP Elite DC comes pre-wired for plug-n-play application of one of the 15 offered trolling motors. The foot control rests in a recessed section of the bow. Next to the trolling motor is a console that has controls for the engine trim and a console for up to an 8" (20.3 cm) display fish finder. Two bow-pedestal bases will ensure that your foot is able to reach the foot control. Large rod storage lockers lie to either side, with rod straps on top for even more storage. Three across seating is at the cockpit, with the center seat folding down to become a step for access to and from the aft casting deck. For storage, there is a 300-qt. forward storage box, 168-qt. storage aft, a 44.5 gal. (169.1 L) livewell, and an 84-qt. baitwell. Additional rods store in a strap-down adjacent to the portside seat. The helm of our test boat featured Mercury Networked SmartCraft gauges and a center mounted Lowrance HDS 10" multi-function display.
Fit and Finish
I like Triton's style of fit and finish. I looked for defects in the gel coat and found none. Carpeting was curved perfectly around the edges of lids and hatch covers, and I also noticed that the livewell lids were insulated. All the gauges at the helm were angled just enough to face me directly and the stainless spoke, wood-grained steering wheel was placed just right. I'd add a tilt feature to the wheel, and while the hot-foot gas pedal was not close enough for my liking, I'm 5'8" (1.74 m). As it turns out, the hot-foot peddle was custom placed for the guy who had already bought the boat, so while it's hard to complain that he's a tad taller than me, it is worth mentioning that Triton will mount the pedal to your proportions after you write the check. This is a nice bit of customization.
And Speaking of Writing Checks
Triton isn't going to give you a 21HP Elite DC for free (I already asked), so what does it take to park one in your garage? Rigged with a 225-hp Optimax, the 21HP carries a base price of $57,560. Our test engine equipped version will be $61,011. And if you want it all, the 300-hp Verado four-stroke is $66,739. As for options, there are plenty to dial in your ride to your tastes. For starters, I'd hate to have my fishing buddies left out in the 77 mph wind, so a port side console is a must (add $694). Our test boat also had the "Elite" package. It consists of the touch pad dash with touch start, front deck carpet pad (and yes, it does make a difference),all stainless latches, a large driver's glove box, a landing net that tucks behind the seats, cockpit bolsters, remote oil fill, nine Plano tackle boxes, the stainless spoke steering wheel with wood-grain inserts, a fishing tool deck organizer (which included a pull-out measuring bar), and drop in tackle trays for the rod lockers (add $2,335).
Going First Class
If you don't think the Elite package doesn't make a difference, you're kidding yourself. The level of class and luxury takes a giant leap forward. If you are going to buy a boat in this class, why not do it right? Trolling motors will add another $97-$556 depending on which of the 15 you choose. We had an 8" Lowrance fishfinder at the bow (add $2,265) and a 10" at the helm (add $3,540). Granted some options are for "male enhancement" but most are practical items, that yes, you can live without, but if you don't have to, it's nice to know they're offered.
At the end of the day, it was hard to walk away from the 21HP. Not only was it a fun boat to operate, she looked outstanding and was loaded with just the right amount of extras to make a good day of fishing even better. My daddy always told me that if you are going to be involved in competitive sports of any kind, to have the best chance of winning be sure you are using the best equipment available. Never use second best. I think the Triton 21HP Elite DC is the right tool for the right job and if you're a tournament-class angler, it ought to be on your short list.

Harold 'Hal' Jackson
Pioneering African American on network radio
Harold "Hal" Jackson, 96, the first African American voice on network radio, died Wednesday at a New York City hospital, said Deon Levingston, an executive at WBLS, a station owned by Inner City Broadcasting Corp., which Jackson co-founded. The cause was not given.
Jackson began his career in Washington, D.C,. as the first African American play-by-play sports announcer. After he moved to New York in the 1950s, he hosted three different radio shows, broadcasting a mix of music and conversation that included jazz and celebrities.
Jackson later co-founded Inner City, one of the first broadcasting companies wholly owned by African Americans. The company acquired WBLS, which pioneered the urban contemporary radio format. Jackson continued to host a program on WBLS until a few weeks before his death.
In 1995, Jackson became one of the first African Americans to be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Paul Heine, senior editor at the trade publication Inside Radio, called Jackson "the godfather of black radio."
"His longevity and his breaking down the doors, breaking the color barrier, he really made it possible for African Americans who followed him to work in the medium," Heine said.
Jackson was born in Charleston, S.C., on Nov. 3, 1915, according to family records. After his father, a tailor, and his mother died when he was a child, he was raised by relatives in South Carolina, New York and Washington.
Janet Carroll
Actress played 'Risky Business' mother
Janet Carroll, 71, an actress who played the mother of Tom Cruise's character in the movie "Risky Business," died Tuesday in New York after a long illness, her family announced.
A Chicago native, Carroll had worked steadily since that breakthrough role in 1983. On television, she had recurring roles on such shows as "Murphy Brown," "Melrose Place" and "Married With Children."

Bromelain proteolytic activity was studied against several synthetic peptide substrates in McIlvaine buffer covering a wide pH range. Among different synthetic substrates, Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA turned out to be the most suitable one to test bromelain activity at the average minimum pH value of wine (3.2). The protease activity was significantly increased by the presence of 5 mM cysteine while no influence was exerted by EDTA. The inhibiting effect of ethanol was investigated in the range 0–25% (v/v), resulting in being rather limited at the average minimum concentration found in wine (10% v/v). The kinetic parameters were estimated in both McIlvaine (as reference) and model wine buffers. This study showed that stem bromelain worked well at the average minimum pH value of wine, and had a significantly higher activity in model wine buffer (Ka increased of 42%). These results are the basis for suggesting a future biotechnological application of this protease in winemaking.

Bromelain proteolytic activity was tested against a synthetic substrate (Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA) in a model wine system after adding ethanol, sulphur dioxide (SO2), skin, seed, and gallic and ellagic tannins at the average range of their concentration in wine. All the inhibitors of stem bromelain activity tested turned out to be reversible. Ethanol was a competitive inhibitor with a rather limited effect. Gallic and ellagic tannins have no inhibitory effect on stem bromelain activity, while both seed and skin tannins were uncompetitive inhibitors. The strongest inhibition effect was revealed for sulphur dioxide which was a mixed-type inhibitor for the enzyme activity. This study provides useful information relative to a future biotechnological application of stem bromelain in winemaking.

text: In this seminar we will explore the intersection of social justice and environmental protection. The environmental justice movement coalesced in the early 1980's around allegations that facilities posing environmental risks were disproportionately located in poor communities and communities of color. The movement gained national attention when the United States General Accounting Office and the United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice released studies showing a correlation between hazardous waste sites, people of color, and the poor. The Church of Christ study found that race was the most significant factor in predicting the location of a commercial hazardous waste facility; the next most significant factor was income. Controversy--and criticism of the studies--ensued. From these beginnings, we will discuss both the theoretical and practical questions surrounding environmental justice. What types of justice are sought and how can they be measured? How does the environmental justice approach differ from the approach taken by the "traditional" environmental movement? What kinds of strategies and tools (both legal and non-legal) have been employed, and have they been successful? How have federal and state governments responded to environmental justice concerns? Finally, we will consider how the principles of environmental justice have been applied to the pressing issue of climate change.

Every town in Northeast Missouri has a park bench, a potential home for homelessness.
You probably don't know his name, but he could be sleeping on the park bench outside of your business, or in your community park.
Every town in Northeast Missouri has a park bench, a potential home for homelessness.
You probably don't know his name, but he could be sleeping on the park bench outside of your business, or in your community park.
He is the man around town pushing a wheelchair of possessions.
His beard is long and frizzy. His shirt doesn't cover his big belly. His hygiene is nowhere near healthy.
Leon Askew is part of a population in Hannibal, leaving a lot of authority figures and community assistance leaders with questions that need answers.
Askew is part of Hannibal's homeless population.
"I went to seventh grade, got kicked out, told me never to come back," Askew said of his young school days. "Went back for 10th grade, stayed a couple weeks and got out of there."
From then on his life, as he struggles to describe it, has been like a rollercoaster with very few high points and deep slopes that get deeper and deeper.
"I got ran over by a car, can't find an attorney to make my case," he claims. "If I got to California – is where I want to go – I'm just over here temporarily. I can get places quick. I could get me a house or apartment. I'm pretty smart. I ain't stupid."
Askew said he has spent time in prison. The first time was for attempted robbery and the second time was for marijuana possession. That sentence, he said, included time at a state hospital for being incompetent.
Askew's story may be unique. It may not be. But no matter the road taken, many locations across the United States a population now lives life on the streets. And it leaves leaders many northern Missouri communities wondering what to do next.
"That's the number one question that everyone's concerned about in dealing with this," said David Dexheimer, executive director of Douglass Community Services in Hannibal. "We're not the only city that's battling it. All over the country, there's cities that deal with it much worse than we are."
Jason Benson operates The SALT Center in Chillicothe, and has more insight into the homeless situation than most because he was once homeless. SALT stands for Simply Achieving Life's Triumphs, and the center offers homeless individuals a place to stay and food to eat. Local businesses and organizations sponsor beds for those staying in the facility, while the largest portion of funding comes through local foundations.
"We have never been empty nor have we been at capacity," Benson said of the center which opened in 2010, averaging seven new clients a month.
"The men and women and families who occupy our place, are wonderful people," Benson said. "Most do not have mental health or drug and alcohol issues, and some have college degrees."
While not every community in northern Missouri faces a problem with a visible homeless population, there is an increasing number of individuals needing assistance with food, or money to pay utilities. And where government assistance ends, there are many organizations and volunteer-driven entities that step up to help community members in need.
Macon focuses its attention on making sure the children of the community have nourishment, regardless of their parents' ability to provide sustenance.
Macon's Food 4 Kids program began in 2007.
"One day at preschool I had a first-hand experience seeing a hungry child," Becky Belt, coordinator for Macon's Food 4 Kids, said. "We couldn't fill him up on apple slices at snack time."
She contacted her minister for help.
"God clearly had a hand in getting this project going in Macon. I began asking friends and acquaintances that I knew went to different churches, 'Do you think your church would want to help one day a week to serve lunches?' Each person that I talked to readily agreed that they thought their church could help with it. I made a call to The Food Bank and also talked to the school lunch coordinator about using the kitchen at school. It all just fell into place and continues to operate without any big obstacles and many, many added blessings. We serve around 70 kids each day."
Based upon the concept that no person should have to go without a shower, food and a bed, a movement is under way in Kirksville to establish a free-standing shelter. The transitional shelter would provide not only the basic necessities, but housing as well as personal development, be it job hunting assistance, life-skills education or training.
"Our intention is not to provide long-term free anything," said Sally Carter, one of the organizers of New Day Community Outreach Services. "All of it involves work equity, even that one night, there would be chores to do."
The group's first goal would be to establish an emergency-type shelter for one- or two-night stays.
Harvest House in Boonville may see 20 people come through its doors during the course of a month.
"We have people come that are going through divorce or having trouble meeting bills, and then we have people that are truly homeless, - street people," said Heidi Burnett, Harvest House director.
Three or four referrals per month come from the Boonville police.
"Unless trespassing is involved, there's not anything preventing people from sleeping underneath a bridge or outdoors," said Bobby Welliver, Boonville police chief. "Some of the people we refer to the shelter are just passing through town and are dealing with a broken-down vehicle. When we get someone who is truly homeless, we'll bring them in, see if they need medical attention and run them to make sure they're not wanted. Then we call the Harvest House."
"There are many people who choose to be homeless. Others are put in that position," Burnett said.
The Brookfield Ministries offers utility assistance, housing, medical and gas vouchers. The latest numbers show that an average 1,088 individuals helped annually via the food pantry, a number that has remained fairly constant during the past three years.
Moberly, as home to the Moberly Correctional Center, has unique challenges, as families of inmates often move to the community in order to have access to their loved ones. Once there, some families stay, even when the inmates are released. A core group of volunteers, including educators, business men and women, senior citizens and retirees lend their helping hands in any way they can.
The Help Center in Mexico helps an average of 1,425 people a month with just food. The Center also operates a store that sells clothing and household items.
"Our community has an abundance of great agencies that help individuals in need," said Help Center Director Kaylie Nowlin.
But at the same time, she is brutally honest regarding help available for those needing shelter.
"Unfortunately, Mexico is not the place to be if you're homeless, because we currently have nothing in place that addresses the problem."
In Hannibal, as well as the rest of northern Missouri, communities struggle over how to help the homeless, while at the same time protecting the citizens they are paid to protect. Liability issues are a concern for communities both small and large.
On June 13, the Hannibal Police Department hosted city leaders and local group representatives to discuss the local homeless issue. Afterwards, Police Chief Lyndell Davis said he wants to "avoid some of the pitfalls or mistakes other communities have made throughout the country that in some cases lead to litigation and ultimately no improvement in the situation for all those involved."
Information for this story was provided by the newsrooms at the Hannibal Courier-Post, Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune, Macon Chronicle-Herald, Kirksville Daily Express, Boonville Daily News, Linn County Leader, Moberly Monitor-Index and Mexico Ledger.

Sebastian Bach Favors Solo Life, But Open to Skid Row Reunion
Sebastian Bach may still be known for his early days in Skid Row to some extent, but the singer has been a solo artist over the past decade and has had some time to reflect on both experiences.
Bach tells the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram that he prefers the solo artist route, explaining, "It's easier … because I don't have to have a meeting with everybody about the color of the T-shirts or what the bag tags are going to look like. If it's my solo band, I get to make all the decisions. In Skid Row, that's the only reason we broke up, because we're all very headstrong. But I do the same thing I did onstage with those guys. That's what I do. I don't change what I do depending on who I'm playing with. I'm myself. I don't know what else to be."
Bach recently revealed that he was open to a Skid Row reunion if his former bandmates wanted to give it a go, but so far all reunion talk has been rebuffed. Bach stated, "We were offered some big shows that they didn't want to do. So, all I can do is if somebody offers me something either say 'yes' or 'no.' It's very easy for me to walk on a stage singing my own songs, so for the fans I would do that. But there's no update."
The singer remains busy with life on the road, but says that once there's a break in the schedule he needs some time to take care of things at home. The musician lost his home in Hurricane Irene, and admits he's "been living out of a suitcase" ever since. In addition, the home also housed his own personal recording studio, so not having that available will slow his progress on a new record.

I am so happy that Fall is upon us and that I finally get to enjoy all of my favorite things about Fall cooking. One of my favorite combinations for fall eating is cheddar and apples. If you haven't tried this before, it is the perfect balance of sweet and savory and they all come together in this Cheddar Apple Pie Dip.
Diced on top of this dip is a mixture of red and green apples that have been tossed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and coarsely chopped walnuts. The layer underneath offers a surprise of cheddar cheese mixed with cream cheese and sour cream, cooked until hot and bubbly.
This appetizer can be served with cinnamon pita chips or cinnamon & raisin bagel chips if you lean more towards the sweet or a hearty wheat cracker if you lean more towards the savory. I like to platter these two options together and let my guests choose their favorite for dipping.
Allow this appetizer to set up for ten to fifteen minutes before serving to allow the flavors to merry together and to let the dip set up.
This appetizer is a potluck and tailgate winner that is sure to surprise your guests with this delicious combination of flavors.
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 each: red and green apple, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- ½ cup walnut pieces, coarsely chopped
- 1 package (8 ounces) low-fat cream cheese
- 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup low-fat sour cream
- Assorted crackers for dipping
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl.
- Add apples and walnuts; toss until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese in medium bowl. Add sour cream; stir until well blended. Spread into 9-inch pie plate; top with apple mixture.
- Bake 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Serve with your favorite crackers for dipping.

With the proliferation of lecturers who wish to place material on the web, the Laboratory has decided to rationalise location and management of individual course web pages.
Each year a new set of directories is created to ensure that
outdated material is not left in the main student access path. Each
course now has its own directory, which this year can be found at:
A single file, index.html, has been placed in the directory, containing basic information about the course. A principal lecturer has been assigned for each course. This person is the owner of the directory and of all the files in it and is responsible for the content of the directory. He or she is encouraged to add appropriate files to the directory and to modify index.html so that students can access these files. Information on writing HTML is available.

Authorities: Maine hermit attracts marriage offer
Apr. 15, 2013
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — High bail is appropriate to prevent the exploitation a Maine man who has attracted a marriage proposal and a stranger's offer to bail him out since his high-profile arrest for theft and burglary after living in the woods for nearly three decades, a prosecutor said Monday.
Bail for Christopher Knight was raised from $5,000 to $250,000 Sunday after Maine State Police filed two additional burglary and theft charges against him. He now faces four charges in all, but police say he's admitted to hundreds of burglaries over the years to obtain supplies for his makeshift camp in the woods near North Pond in the central Maine town of Rome.
Kennebec County District Attorney Maeghan Maloney said that until the man known to locals as the North Pond Hermit is appointed an attorney, she and police feel it's their job to keep him safe. He could have a lawyer appointed as early as Tuesday, when a bail hearing is scheduled, she said.
Knight has drawn international interest since his arrest, with an offer of marriage, an offer of bail and a ballad written in his honor. Attorneys in and outside Maine have expressed an interest in representing him, and one person wanted to provide him housing, officials said.
There's even a book deal in the works.
"It's clear his story has tremendous interest," Maloney said. "Without an attorney, could that story be taken by someone who would then control it going forward? I think that's possible.
"There are a number of things that are possible, but if he has an attorney looking out for his interests, his story will remain his and his story will be told in a way he wants to tell it."
Police said Knight, 47, may have been responsible for as many as 1,000 burglaries during his 27 years in seclusion, raiding cottages for food, cooking gear, sleeping bags, tents and other goods to help him survive.
Knight was arrested after authorities said he tripped a surveillance sensor set up by a game warden while stealing food from a camp for children with special needs. Authorities later found the campsite where they said Knight lived, which included a tent covered by tarps suspended between trees, a bed, propane cooking stoves and a battery-powered radio.
After his arrest, the phone calls started coming.
One man wanted to write a poem about him and called asking for more background information on Knight, said state police spokesman Steve McCausland. Another caller offered housing. A carpenter from Georgia offered to travel to Maine and repair any damage Knight might have caused at the camps he allegedly broke into.
"Whether the callers are well-meaning or whether there's another motive there, I don't know," McCausland said.
On Saturday, a man who said he was from New York and temporarily living in New Hampshire showed up at the Kennebec County Jail offering to bail Knight out, said Wayne Michaud, a bail commissioner.
The offer seemed odd from the start because the man couldn't say what his plans were if Knight went with him, and kept calling another person on his phone before answering questions, Michaud said.
Knight turned down the bail offer after meeting with him and Michaud.
"Mr. Knight was certainly on top of things, asking him questions like: 'Why are you here? What do you want? I don't know you,'" Michaud said.
Knight isn't seeking attention, said Trooper Diane Perkins-Vance, who has met with him several times. She described him as humble, pleasant and intelligent, with a sense of humor.
He told her he probably would have spent the rest of his life in the woods if he hadn't been arrested.
"He doesn't have a reason for it; it's something he chose to do," she said. "He told me yesterday he probably would've died in the woods."
A Maine publishing company has now hired an author to write a book about Knight.
Northern House Media LLC was considering a book about Alexis Wright, the Kennebunk Zumba instructor who led a double life as a prostitute, when Knight walked out of the woods, owner Derrick Grant said.
"We thought Christopher Knight had Alexis Wright beaten hands down," he said. "So we abandoned Alexis Wright in favor of Christopher Knight."
People are captivated by Knight's story and how he could stay hidden for 27 years, Grant said. People are thinking, "maybe I'd want to do that, if not for 27 years, then for seven days."
"I think people are fascinated by is he a thief, or is he a hero, or is he both?" Grant said. "I think right now people have a lot of 'Why?'"
Maloney said she's heard some people compare Knight to Henry David Thoreau, the 19th-century author and philosopher from Massachusetts who made three journeys to Maine's North Woods and is well known for his reflections on simple living in nature.
But people shouldn't forget that Knight's accused of breaking into people's homes and stealing, she said: "His story is a mixture of Henry David Thoreau and the Phantom of the Opera."

By Gabriel Stargardter
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico charged 14 federal police officers on Friday with the attempted murder of two CIA operatives after the U.S. agents' vehicle was sprayed with bullets in a brazen daylight attack that security officials suspect was ordered by a drug cartel.
The ambush was initially blamed on a case of mistaken identity, but Mexican security sources said the fact that police officers used AK47 assault rifles and were not wearing uniforms suggested a gang-orchestrated hit.
The August incident, in which the CIA operatives tried to escape the hail of semi-automatic gunfire in a dramatic car chase, was a major embarrassment for the government of outgoing President Felipe Calderon, who has staked his reputation on taming the cartels.
The CIA officers' diplomatic vehicle was peppered with 152 bullet holes. Their injuries were not life-threatening and they were quickly moved out of the country.
The attorney general's office said it charged the 14 federal police officers with attempted murder. "We're not discounting any theory, including that they could be involved with organized crime," an official said on condition of anonymity.
The 14 police officers come from the southern Mexico City district of Tlalpan and were already in police custody, the statement said.
Drug cartels often take advantage of low pay for Mexican police to infiltrate their ranks and put officers on the payroll.
"The reputation of our police was already at rock bottom, and this doesn't help one bit," said Maximiliano Moyano, a criminal lawyer who works on police corruption cases.
The incident was the worst attack against U.S. officials in Mexico since drug-gang assailants killed a U.S. immigration agent and wounded his colleague in a highway attack in early 2011.
The August attack took place near the town of Tres Marias on a road south of Mexico City, and came as increased cooperation between U.S. and Mexican forces seemed to be yielding results in Calderon's six-year offensive against the bloody cartels.
Since 2009, government troops have caught or killed more than 20 major drug lords. But that has led to cartel infighting and fragmentation, and recent drug war victories have been offset by humiliating cases of corruption and bungled operations.
A June shootout between federal police and corrupt fellow officers at Mexico City's airport killed three officers.
That was followed by last month's killing of Zetas cartel leader Heriberto Lazcano, a significant victory for Calderon that was undermined by the late-night theft of Lazcano's body from a funeral home, fueling rumors the kingpin was still alive.
About 60,000 people have died in drug violence during Calderon's term, and the bloodshed hurt his party's candidate in the presidential election in July.
President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto, who takes office on December 1, says his priority will be to reduce violence and focus first on tackling crimes like extortion and kidnapping.
But Pena Nieto, who is leading the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, back into power after a 12-year hiatus, has rejected negotiating with the gangs, mindful of the PRI's past reputation for cutting deals.
"Calderon hands over to Pena Nieto a very problematic situation, but with one main advantage: it seems that violence at the national level is starting to trend downwards," said Eduardo Guerrero, a security analyst with Lantia Consultores in Mexico City.
Despite the Tres Marias attack and a new government taking office, analysts do not expect drug-fighting collaboration between Mexico City and Washington to change drastically.
"Mexico's relationship with the United States is very institutionalized," said Alejandro Hope, a security analyst at the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness.

Type: Enhancement
Status: In Progress
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: None
To start, let's look at some simple default sorted-set behaviour (which uses PersistentHashMap via PersistentHashSet, and therefore uses equality/hashCode to determine identity):
user=> (sorted-set [1 2] [-5 10] [1 5]) #{[-5 10] [1 2] [1 5]}
 sorted-set-by uses PersistentTreeMap via PersistentTreeSet though, which implies that the comparator provided to sorted-set-by will be used to determine identity, and therefore member in the set. This can lead to (IMO) non-intuitive behaviour:
 user=> (sorted-set-by #(> (first %) (first %2)) [1 2] [-5 10] [1 5]) #{[1 2] [-5 10]}
Notice that because the provided comparison fn determines that [1 2] and [1 5] have the same sort order, the latter value is considered identical to the former, and not included in the set. This behaviour could be very handy, but is also likely to cause confusion when what the user almost certainly wants is to maintain the membership semantics of the original set (e.g. relying upon equality/hashCode), but only modify the ordering.
(BTW, yes, I know there's far easier ways to get the order I'm indicating above over a set of vectors thanks to vectors being comparable via the compare fn. The examples are only meant to be illustrative. The same non-intuitive result would occur, with no easy fallback (like the 'compare' fn when working with vectors) when the members of the set are non-Comparable Java object, and the comparator provided to sorted-set-by is defining a sort over some values returned by method calls into those objects.)
I'd be happy to change the docs for sorted-set-by, but I suspect that there are others who could encapsulate what's going on here more correctly and more concisely than I.

A city police patrol officer has been put on leave following his arrest Sunday on two counts of assault on a female while he was off duty.
Michael Ladle Hodrick, 27, was charged with the misdemeanors, posted a $2,000 bond and was released shortly after his arrest, records show.
He is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 17.
Police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said Wednesday that Hodrick had been placed on administrative leave, which is paid, while the charges are pending.
The charges do not involve Hodrick's work with the department's Patrol Services Bureau, which is in charge of the city's five districts, Michael said.

Driver who killed cyclist won't spend any time behind bars
A woman who hit-and-killed a bicyclist will not spend any time behind bars.
Instead, Carol Svinarich was sentenced to 90 days of monitored house arrest for careless driving. She also was ordered to pay nearly $18,000 in fines and restitution.
In early January, police said she ran a red light at Osuna and Academy, hitting Scott Dwane Lane.
In court Friday, Svinarich read an apology to Lane's family. She said she'd waited months to give it.
"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about them, and the pain and grief I feel in my heart is overwhelming... and that's going to be with me forever," she said.
The victim's family and bicycle enthusiasts said the punishment wasn't tough enough.
"My husband was just riding his bike home. That's all he was doing and when people are in their cars and they kill someone there should be a more severe penalty," Sheryl Kearby said.
If Svinarich violates her house arrest, she will spend the remainder of her sentence locked up at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center.

Wardell Quezergue
by John Sinclair
New Orleans is, among many other things, the home of the Compleat Musician. Hundreds of skilled players in the city move seamlessly from rhythm & blues to traditional jazz, bebop and swing to popular musical forms of every variety, contributing their intelligence and instrumental dexterity to every situation in which they are called to perform.
Then there are those who have made their mark not only as players and singers but also as composers -- Professor Longhair, Roy Brown, Earl King, Chris Kenner, Jessie Hill -- and there are some who can do it all: Paul Gayten, Dave Bartholomew, Harold Battiste, Allen Toussaint, Mac Rebennack, great instrumentalists who write great songs, produce great records, and give great performances.
But theres one man who works behind the scenes with the citys greatest musical artists, songwriters and producers to frame their artistic creations and help them fully realize their concepts, turning their songs and performances time after time into hit records and all-time classics.
His name is Wardell Quezergue, known to his many fans as "the Creole Beethoven," and hes been the first-choice arranger of New Orleans recording artists for more than 40 years. Hes the man behind the sound of so many superb recordings that its almost impossible to count them, but you can start with "Iko Iko" and "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups, "Trick Bag" by Earl King, "Big Chief" by Professor Longhair, "Barefootin" by Robert Parker, "It Aint My Fault" by Smokey Johnson, "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight, "Groove Me" by King Floyd, "Mojo Hannah" by Tami Lynn, and Dr. Johns Grammy award-winning album, Going Back to New Orleans.
Wardells charted local sessions for Allen Touissant, Irma Thomas, Fats Domino, The Meters, and the Dirty Dozen, and hes added his distinctive touch to dates by Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Wilson Pickett, the Supremes and the Pointer Sisters, B.B. King, Charles Brown, Big Joe Turner, Albert King and the Staple Singers. He did Orchid In The Storm for Aaron Neville and Good Morning Heartache for the late great Johnny Adams.
The Creole Beethoven has been particularly active on the recording scene of late. Hes garnered considerable acclaim for his work with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on his two big-band albums, Gate Swings and his current release, American Music, Texas Style. And hes contributed to the Wild Magnolias major-label debut, Life Is a Carnival; a project with Sugar Pie DeSanto called Classic Sugar Pie; A Good Day for the Blues by Ruth Brown; Sing It!, the Grammy-nominated collaboration by Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball and Tracy Nelson; and the big-band cuts on Kermit Ruffins Swing This!
Wardell has been leading bands since he formed the Royal Dukes of Rhythm in the mid-50s. In recent years he has fielded a smoking ensemble known as Wardell and his Slammin Big Band, an all-star aggregation showcasing his original compositions and arrangements. A 4-track "teaser" CD was issued a year ago, introducing drummer-entrepeneur Bunchy Johnsons great Wild Indian song, "Pass It On"; the hard-swinging "3 Tenors for Moose," dedicated to WWOZs Don "Big Moose" Jamison; and "Frankly Speaking," Wardells tribute to pianist and long-time compatriot Ed Frank.
These tunes and six more songs of equal weight and delight (including two versions of Johnsons terrific "Killer Joe" homage titled "Crazy Mary") are finally available to the record-buying public as Maestropiece, the orchestras premiere full-length CD on Louisiana Red Hot Records. There is sleek, swinging pop jazz ("El Pavo," "Slammin), hip big-band bebop ("Chip"), and the wide-bottomed second-line numbers "Tippy" and "Hail King Zulu" (a definite candidate for the hallowed Carnival canon with its James Rivers saxophone excursion).
The stellar cast includes Warren Bell Sr, Roderick Paulin, Joe Saulsbury, Julius Hardy and Carl Blouin in the saxophone section; Tracy Griffin, Barney Floyd and Briian Murray among the trumpets; Craig Klein on trombone; the legendary Sam Henry on keyboards; Wardells son Brian Quezergue on bass; guitarists Leo Williams and Detroit Brooks; and drummers Bunchy Johnson and Leon Alexander. Quezergues crisp, juicy charts are well-played throughout, and the soloists make almost uniformly excellent contributions to the music.

BOONE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina police are pointing to carbon monoxide poisoning as the likely reason for the recent death of an 11-year-old South Carolina boy and two other guests found dead in the same motel room almost two months earlier.
Boone police said Monday in a news release that emergency responders found elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the room where Jeffrey Williams of Rock Hill, S.C., died Saturday. Police say a preliminary autopsy found the boy died from asphyxia, which happens when toxic gases cut off oxygen to the body.
Jeffrey's 49-year-old mother, Jeannie Williams, was rushed to a hospital and survived.
A Longview, Wash., couple was found dead in the same motel room April 16. Police said new toxicology results show 73-year-old Daryl Dean Jenkins and 72-year-old Shirley Mae Jenkins died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
