OKLAHOMA CITY – Two people are dead, and a third is critically injured, after an EagleMed helicopter crashed Friday morning between two buildings near NW Expressway and Council in Oklahoma City.
The crash happened just before 5:45 a.m. on the northwest side of the city. Deputy Chief Mark Woodard with the Oklahoma City Fire Department says the helicopter, an AS350, was leaving Baptist Hospital and returning to its home base in Watonga when it crashed.
Neighbors heard a loud explosion and immediately called 911. Drivers in the area reported seeing smoke and flames just after the chopper went down. Witnesses say there was an explosion when the helicopter hit the ground, and a second explosion a few minutes later.
The helicopter crashed between St. Ann's Retirement Center and St. Ann's Nursing Home. The copter did not hit any buildings, and no one in those centers was hurt.
Three crew members were on board. Two were killed in the crash. Three nurses from St. Ann's Nursing Home rushed to help.
They, along with people passing by, pulled a third crew member from the wreckage just before the second explosion.
The third crew member has been hospitalized in critical condition.
News 9 has also learned one person on the ground was hurt while trying to help that lone survivor, but the injuries are not serious.
Police have reopened traffic on Britton between NW Expressway and Rockwell, but police and emergency personnel remain in the area.
Investigators from the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board have arrived at the site and are inspecting the wreckage.
This is the second fatal EagleMed crash within three years. In July 2010, an EagleMed helicopter crashed in Kingfisher County, killing pilot Al Harrison and flight nurse Ryan Duke. Another crew member, Mike Eccard, survived the crash.

Salvage Art Institute
confronts and articulates the condition of no-longer-art-material claimed as
"total loss", resulting from art damaged beyond repair, removed from
art market circulation due to its total loss of value in the marketplace yet
stored in art-insurance claim inventory.
Salvage Art Institute participated in Making Use: Life in Post-Artistic Times
at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Poland, from February 19 to May 1, 2016.
Upcoming: In 2017, Salvage Art Institute, in collaboration with Dancing Foxes Press,
will publish a collection of essays that consider the phantom world of artworks officially deemed of no commercial value.
Contributors will include Julia Pelta Feldman (conservation scholar), Eileen Myles (poet and writer), Pamela Smith (science historian),
and Jeffrey Weiss (curator), among others.
No Longer Art: Salvage Art Institute, at the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, University of Chicago, has closed. Stay tuned for future venues of the exhibition.
Selected writings/press about Salvage Art Institute
Selected exhibition documentation and individual salvaged artwork images from Salvage Art Institute
1. SAI is a haven for all art officially
declared as total loss, removed from art market circulation and liberated from
the obligation of perpetual valuation and exchangeability.
2. SAI claims stewardship over all total loss
inventories as they are declared, wherever and whenever, with or without
physical transfer.
3. SAI considers the formal declaration of total
loss an act of transformation and subsequently refers to the transformed
property as "No Longer Art."
4. SAI seeks to maintain the zero-value of No
Longer Art and recognizes its right to remain independent and divorced from the
demands of future marketability.
5. SAI aspires to make the No Longer Art
inventory accessible to public view. SAI provides an autonomous yet accessible
space for No Longer Art to reveal its qualities via interdisciplinary debate.
6. SAI approaches the No Longer Art inventory through
a non-hierarchical system and aims at democratic principles. Each item of SAI
inventory can potentially deliver equally valid revelations.
7. SAI conceives the declaration that an object is
No Longer Art as the symmetrical inversion of the subjective declaration that
any object may be art. The signature of the adjuster meets and cancels the
signature of the artist.
8. SAI eschews the aesthetics and sensationalism
of damage. Rather, it is devoted to examining the structural implications of
total loss across art's conceptual, material, legal, actuarial and financial
9. SAI is centered on the tactile objecthood of
No Longer Art, on its obdurate survival, and on its transformed physicality.
SAI confronts viewers with the material signs of alteration and the legible
traces of each piece's history.

July 2009: First draft of Salvage Art Museum
mission statement
May 16, 2009: The idea of Salvage Art Museum
conceived at a meeting
with Rosalind Joseph, Head of Global Public Relations, AXA Art
May 2009 I spent an afternoon with my neighbor, Roz, a PR person for AXA Art,
the only globally operating specialty art insurance company. I was told about
AXA warehouses that store "Salvage Art", the industry name for
no-longer-artworks that become AXA's property after the company paid out full
market value on a claim in a total loss case. There is a sea of them behind
that conversation, I have not been able to think of much more than all that
non-art, art?, dead-art or what?.. and have become absorbed in trying to
articulate my thoughts around these cadavers, the material that lives in limbo,
in secret, as invisible, petrified "art-no-longer" that is
scrupulously databased and stored all around the country, all over the world
condition that interests me begins when an artwork is declared a "total
loss" and ends when it resurfaces in the art market in some form. A pure
and radical realm of the un-explored, with implications in many different
realms and disciplines I feel I am just beginning to uncover.
the start of 2010 I applied for a Rockefeller grant (Idea ID 1491) as Salvage
Art Institute (SAI), proposing to focus on "art material" removed
from art market circulation due to accidental damage. I approached AXA Art with
a proposal for intellectual cooperation and was promised access to their
storage. In May the Salvage Art Institute was registered with a State of New
York, Richmond County Clerk and later was invited to Columbia University's
Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation to focus a graduate
studio course Damage Control on SAI's possible "home". (Summer 2010,
Summer 2011)
What I imagine for the future is not
simply one more gallery show, but rather the development of an arena of
discussion centered on the subject of "total loss art" condition
exhaling behind warehouse walls, shut off from the world of commerce and
Together with a board of SAI advisors I
am devoted to developing discussion and conversation, new themes related to this
phantom art world, engaging the most interesting minds from a variety of
disciplines, and I see Columbia's support as just the beginning.

Recently developed Multidomain Peptides (MDP) can be triggered to self-assemble into nanofiber hydrogels. Given the simplicity and versatility offered by these short chain amino acid sequences, the physical and biological responses can be tuned. Incorporation of cell degradation sites into the amino acid backbone allow for peptide hydrogels to be broken down by infiltrating cells. Similarly, engineering cell binding domains into the peptide sequence, offer a method to allow cell adhesion and proliferation. Together, mixtures of degradable and non-degradable peptides will allow time-dependent enzymatic breakdown with cellular infiltration. Hydrogels can be easily aspirated into a syringe and delivered via needle, with mechanical recovery. This will allow cytokines and growth factors to effectively be delivered into biological scaffolds or pathologic lesions - such as hollowed out teeth during a root canal. Any procedure or implant (including a root canal) will induce an inflammatory reaction. While others have tried to obviate this inflammatory response, we aim to modulate the infiltrating immune cells'response to one of healing as opposed to chronic inflammation/implant rejection. This has been demonstrated with specific cytokines that guide inflammatory cells to a healing and resolution phenotype. While not attempted with dental regeneration, prior studies have shown efficacy in models including nerve regeneration and vascular tissue engineering. Further, addition of a molecule that aids in blood vessel formation will help in creating living tissue. These additives will be tested in vitro with immune cells, cells from blood vessels and dental stem cells. The work will culminate with in vivo application of these cytokine/ growth factor loaded gels - where inflammatory cells will be guided to resolve inflammation, infiltrating cells will develop blood vessels and replace the nanofiber scaffolding with native living tissue. This project is organized into 3 aims.
Aim 1 will determine the degradation of MDP, and loading and release of cytokines / growth factors.
Aim 2 will elucidate the cellular behavior of immune cells, blood vessel cells and dental pulp stem cells in loaded MDP nanofibers.
Aim 3 will determine biocompatibility and immune response of loaded MDP nanofibers in an animal model of wound healing and dental pulp regeneration. While showcasing applicability for dental regeneration, loaded peptide scaffolds can be tailored to a variety of other applications for tissue engineering and translational medicine.
Tissue-mimetic multi-domain peptide (MDP) scaffolds will be developed for dental pulp regeneration. Loading of specific factors into MDP will guide immune cells and blood vessel growth. This will enhance the body's innate ability to heal damaged tissue. This study will establish a basis for MDP use in a variety of pathologies.

Blogs - like cruises - come to an end, and this will be the last entry. The scientists' cabins have been emptied, the decks cleared, and the samples shipped home. The science party has left the Revelle in Manila, and the techs and crew have prepped the vessel for the next journey to Taiwan and then on to Sri Lanka. Yair and I extend our thanks to each of the officers, crew and techs who collectively made this a very successful and rewarding cruise...... Before wrapping up I want also to acknowledge the behind-the-scenes help of James Gibson in making this blog possible. He's a grad student in the Dept. of Earth + Environmental Sciences at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. He generously donated his time and experience assembling the pieces that made this blog function. He and I had a lot of back-and-forths in the early days of the cruise when he silently patched things together to keep our text and pictures readable. Thank you James! ..... To provide a quick summary of what we did and where we did it, here's a map of our core locations and seismic grids. We landed 54 cores (piston, trigger, gravity, Kasten and multi-cores) totaling 225 m in length. We collected and processed (edit-stack-display) twenty-nine 48-channel MCS lines totaling 449 km. One from near the Papua New Guinea margin is shown below. We also gathered 2 plankton tows and 8 CTD measurements with water sampling to 1500 m depths. Continuous swath bathymetry and sub-bottom echo sounding was recorded for the entire cruise. For a final look at life aboard RR1313 here are a few of the pictures taken by members of our science party. Each was donated to a picture pool to provide all our followers a chance to see some of what makes up the daily routine of a research cruise like this. We hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we did living them...... Many wonder what the food is like at sea. All agree it's surprisingly good, though crispy salads become a longing memory about 3 weeks into any voyage. Pics 1-2 (look for numbers at lower left of each) show you at least where we ate. Pics 3-6 show various ways of relaxing. We had the special event of crossing the equator as pics 7+8 show. King Neptune made an appearance (pic 9) to initiate all Pollywogs into the realm of Shellbacks. None were exempted from this ritual, including CoChief Scientists (pic 10) who have (regrettably) spent their careers up to this point at high latitudes. A cleansing bath in equatorial water (pic 11) completed the initiation. Back to serious work, we took a core immediately after the crossing (pic 12) and the subsequent steps of core preparation and analysis from scanning to storage are shown in pics 13-21. The more delicate technique of 'multi-coring' is designed to capture the fragile seafloor-seawater interface (pic 22). Sampling water captured from various depths during CTD casts was another activity (pic 23). Waiting for cores to be lowered and raised back to the deck was done in good weather and poor (pics 24,25). Heavy weather (pic 26) meant no work got done, but that was a very rare event. Launching the MCS gear called for mild weather (pics 27, 28). While surveying, a watchful eye was kept out for any interference with marine mammal activity (pic 29). Fortunately for all we had only one intersection with marine mammals and it required only a 15-minute cessation of seismic acquisition. The end of the cruise brought us to the Philippine islands and the very active Mayan volcano (pic 30), wonderful sunsets (pic 31) and our arrival in Manila Harbor (pic 32). Everything was packed and cleaned and all we had to do was wait to clear customs (pic 33). The refrigerated van holding all of our cores was lifted to a truck, we said our good-byes, and left for the airport and home.................................................................................. Farewell from the science party of R/V Roger Revelle cruise 1313 (pic 35). --- Greg Mountain
Almost Done
We've arrived at the Philippines. We spent most of the day coring
below the above volcano (and its friends around the bay), which Jeremy
was kind enough to photograph with my camera at dawn while I was
asleep below. Yes, that's steam coming from the crater. As of this
moment (11pm Philippines time) we have about 8 hours of science time
left. By breakfast coring will be a thing of the past, and we will
have 25 hours of transit time to Manila which will be spent packing
and cleaning everything. If there's any time to spare, rest assured it
will be spent playing ping pong.
I think we're all ready to be done, especially considering the pace
we've been working at the past couple of days, but this has been an
amazing trip, and I'm sad it's over. - The sea was angry that day my friends...

The Republicans that compose New Hampshire's five-member executive council voted 3-2 to reject funding for Planned Parenthood's six clinics in the state on June 22.
The council, a vestige of the state's colonial government that is independent of the governor, must approve all state contracts greater than $10,000.
"I am opposed to abortion," said Raymond Wieczorek, a council member who voted against the contract. "I am opposed to providing condoms to someone. If you want to have a party, have a party but don't ask me to pay for it."
Wieczorek is the second man from the right behind the Governor.
Under federal law, Planned Parenthood cannot use government funds to provide abortion, and Frizzell said it the group is subject to regular audits to ensure that only private money is used to pay for abortions.
You can read about the duties and powers of the NH Executive Council on their website here.
It sounds like the NH governor is a rather weak executive, but I don't know that much about it.
From the Concord (NH) Monitor:
The six Planned Parenthood centers in New Hampshire stopped dispensing contraception last week after the Executive Council rejected a new contract with the organization.
Planned Parenthood had operated under a limited retail pharmacy license that was contingent on having a state contract, said Steve Trombley, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. Two weeks ago, the all-Republican Executive Council voted 3-2 against a new contract that would have provided the organization $1.8 million in state and federal money for the two years starting this month.
This will really hurt low income women in New Hampshire.
The Planned Parenthood contract, which accounts for about 20 percent of its annual New Hampshire budget, would have paid for education, distributing contraception, and the testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections. The organization's abortion practice is paid for by private donations, Trombley said, with audits ensuring no public money is used.
Last year, Planned Parenthood provided contraception for 13,242 patients in New Hampshire, Trombley said. The organization also provided 6,112 breast exams, 5,548 screenings for cervical cancer and 18,858 tests for sexually transmitted infections. If the contract is not renewed, Planned Parenthood will drastically reduce its services, Trombley said. The organization employs 80 people in New Hampshire.
NH Planned Parenthood charges clients on a sliding scale based on yearly income. Seventy percent of clients pay nothing or a very small amount because they are under the state's poverty line of $10,890 for an individual and $22,350 for a family.
The War on Women by the PLUBs continues unabated.

Who are they?
While they are reserved and secretive, Kakalina and Mariela are nonetheless assertive and determined characters. They are virtuous and seductive while remaining simple and natural... However, they possess complete mastery of their emotions and others can find this intimidating. They loathe thoughtlessness, mediocrity and superficiality. They aspire to all that is pure and natural, and are selective with extremely high standards. Perfectionist is the word, they are idealistic and seek to constantly advance and improve themselves. They are ambitious and industrious, and time is on their side. Nevertheless, although they are capable of tremendous patience in life´s most important moments, they can be abrupt and lack moderation where the little things in life are concerned. Disciplined and determined, they are even inclined to be somewhat authoritarian. Stubborn and headstrong, they don´t abandon their dreams or their principles easily. Kakalina and Mariela are quite conventional and have their feet firmly planted on the ground; they are capable of assuming their responsibilities with a cool-head and competence and efficiency. They may be possessive, but they are nonetheless generous. As children, they are pleasant and rewarding, growing up without posing any real problems. They make protective and responsible big sisters who are disciplined and hard working at school.
What do they like?
Kakalina and Mariela are on a quest for perfection and aspire to harmony and love. They like to keep the peace, so they are willing to be conciliatory in order to maintain pleasant relationships with their loved ones, although they can sometimes lack tolerance... When it comes to choosing a partner, they are particularly demanding because they need to be able to respect and admire the man who wins their heart; and he will have to tread carefully because if he breaks it he won´t get a second chance. Choosing is often a difficult task. They are remarkable housewives; warm, welcoming hostesses and exemplary mothers: yes, they are almost perfect!...

What do they do?
Family, friends and loved ones occupy a central place in Kakalina and Mariela´s lives, and they could decide to dedicate themselves to setting up a home in the first part of their lives, because stable home roots are essential to their emotional equilibrium. Nevertheless, they are active, dynamic and original women, who won´t tolerate being pushed into the background for very long. They are therefore likely to be attracted to one of the following domains: the medico-social field, justice and any other occupation that will enable them to feel directly useful to others, activities in connection with esthetics, art, creation, decoration, sewing, flowers or nature..., one of the independent professions or a management position involving responsibility.

A few weeks ago, when the Syracuse Nationals Car Show was in town, someone asked me: "Do people still see flying saucers?"
Taking the question seriously, I consulted with another New Yorker who's a highly qualified UFO investigator. We discussed the question of the classic flying saucer. His answer amounted to simply, "Flying saucers are your granddad's alien space craft."
He told me that, for the most part, the huge black triangles have largely replaced the old classic disk.
Perhaps our unknown visitors make improvements and upgrade their transportation periodically, as we do; but that's not the end of the story. While black triangles and other exotic shapes are the hot new craft buzzing about, there seems to be plenty of tried and true older models still out there in New York skies.
In a recent examination of UFO report archives, the data indicates that New Yorkers are still reporting sightings of flying saucers at a rate of about 25 to 30 per year. The earliest records of flying disks in New York skies are from the 1950s. Here are a couple of older sightings recently recounted by the now elderly New Yorkers:
• It was 1950, a crystal clear July night in upstate New York. A young couple was walking hand in hand, marveling at the beautiful night sky. They saw what they thought was a shooting star. After a few seconds, the small point of light they were looking at suddenly got very close and very big. The object was hovering right overhead and was estimated to be several hundred feet across. The young couple was terrified. Then, just as fast as it came, it accelerated away and was gone. They rushed home and told their parents. They were cautioned that people would think they were crazy and to not tell anyone.
• On June 28, 1954, near New York City, some 16-year-olds were lieing on the hood of a car enjoying a clear, starry summer's night. Suddenly, they observed a V formation of seven bright yellowish discs flying eastward very fast. . . .

- - Pulled Jaxxons Mane
Pulled Jaxxons Mane I pulled Jaxxons mane a few days ago... Personally, I love it! It may not be that great of a job, but its short and I think it looks very nice on him! Ive recently become a fan of short manes, lol... they dont get in the way (lol). All of my horses now have short manes... Dakotas is roached and is growing back in a mohawk... Gypsies is pulled, and now so is Jaxs! He's also gaining weight nicely... I extended his fence today, so now he has double the space to run around and graze in... at least, until the other horses get more used to him and I can put him out in our fifty acres with the rest of the herd. http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af64/BrittMC/Ja1.jpg http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af64/BrittMC/Ja.jpg |
I like it! He's gorgeous :D Posted via Mobile Device |
Me too! He looks really sporty :D Alot of people I know hate roaching them... but I did Cerra's and l-o-v-e LOVE it! It's alot less maintenance for sure, and it just adds a little more character, I think. My husband laughed when he saw her after her cut. Said that she reminded him off a donkey! LOL. |
XD! My grandma, when I roached my mares mane almost two years ago, and when I roached my gelding's mane about a month ago said that they looked like donkeys... I was all like 'well, that can be your opinion, I personally love it'. I think a pulled mane is going to suit Jaxxon... I'll probably keep it pulled, or keep it on the shorter side, lol... |
Awwww adorable! You did a much better job than I did with my Jax. I used clippers and it has that classic "why did you cut it!?" look about it. He looks great! |
Did you scissor it or pull it? Cute but I hope you don't have to plait him anytime soon! |
I did a little of both... pulling and scissors... I was in a bit of a hurry when I did it and he still wasn't used to being tied... I mainly did it becauseit's just too hot for a long mane right now... but i've totally fallen in love with it and when it grows back out some, I'm going to do t properly (now that he stands tied much better). |

The build quality is great and the screen is awesome.

text: Sunday morning I watched the first team's series in slo motion. I came to the same conclusion. Coples was moved around on the line and had good penetration. BJGE's 11 yard gain infuriated me! That should have been a 3 or 4 yard loss. On offense the Bengals blitzed 7 right from the start. Unfortunately we only picked up 6. The Bengals # 94 was in pass coverage when he got injured. Isn't he a lineman? And the Jets Cumberland blew a block on a two yard gain that should have gone for 8 yards.

The Treasury has sold another 8 per cent of the taxpayers' stake in Lloyds Banking Group at a bigger loss than its previous sell-off in September.
Chancellor George Osborne said the sale was "good value", and the £4.2 billion sale of 5.35 billion shares would reduce the national debt by £787 million. The shares were sold overnight to institutional investors at 75.5p.
That is just 0.5p more than the first sale achieved last September and was at a 5 per cent discount to Lloyds' closing price of 79.1p. The September share sale went through at a much lower 3 per cent discount. Lloyds shares fell 3.1p to 76p.
Analyst Ian Gordon of Investec pointed out that UK Financial Investments, which holds the Treasury's stakes in bailed-out banks, went ahead with the sale just two days after Lloyds shares hit their 2014 low point. He rates the shares a buy with a target price of 85p.
Based on the 73.6p the Treasury paid in the £20 billion bail-out of Lloyds in 2009, it has made a tiny £101 million profit on the shares sold today. The taxpayer stake is now 25% with a further sale, expected to be offered to the public, unlikely until the autumn.
City grandee Lord Levene today called for a full inquiry into the failed sale of 632 Lloyds branches after former Co-op Bank chairman Paul Flowers claimed he was under political pressure to do the deal.

TAMPA, June 25, 2013 – Twelve years ago, the U.S. government demanded that the Taliban extradite Osama Bin Laden to stand trial for the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. The Taliban responded similarly to the way they had in the past to the same demand.
They asked the U.S. government to obey the principles enshrined in its own Fourth Amendment and produce evidence of Bin Laden's guilt.
The Bush Administration responded with carpet bombing, followed by an invasion.
Most Americans didn't lose much sleep over Bin Laden's rights being violated. He was the world's most infamous terrorist. Had the U.S. been able to pinpoint his location and take him out with a missile or drone attack, there would have been no pundit debate about the constitutionality of the execution (and no, the Constitution doesn't apply only to U.S. citizens).
First, they came for the terrorists…
Flash forward twelve years and quite a few people are losing sleep. Not only has the government's disregard for the Fourth Amendment "come home" to apply to every American, but all due process protections have been completely abolished. The government claims the right to search, spy on, arrest and detain you without probable cause or warrant. It even claims the right to kill you without charging you with a crime.
For war hawks, the year is perpetually 1939 and every tin pot dictator is Adolf Hitler, even if originally installed and supported by the U.S. government. We have been forced to pay for two completely useless wars over the past twelve years, with the specter of Nazi Germany and another Holocaust thrown in the faces of anyone who objected. Anything other than full commitment constitutes "appeasing a dictator," the fatal mistake that led to WWII.
Yet, the abridged world history textbook that every neoconservative seems to have read apparently contains nothing else about Nazi Germany. It doesn't seem to tell them anything about why Hitler was a dictator in the first place, long before the Holocaust got under way.
The truth regarding that question is stranger than fiction.
Five years earlier, Germany had suffered a spectacular terrorist attack. Someone set fire to the German parliament building, the Reichstag. Joseph Goebbels regarded the first report of the attack as "a tall tale" and hung up on the caller.
Only upon receiving a second call did he believe the report and inform Hitler. Tragically, the eerie similarity to Bush's reaction to 9/11 didn't end there.
The Nazi's blamed the communists for the fire, calling it "the most monstrous act of terrorism carried out by Bolshevism in Germany." The next day, President Hindenburg signed the Reichstag Fire Decree (without a vote by the Reichstag), which suspended most civil liberties in Germany. This was followed later by the "Enabling Act," which granted dictatorial powers to Hitler.
All of this was done to "fight the terrorists." We have heard plenty about how not invading the next Middle East backwater would be tantamount to appeasing Hitler, but we haven't heard a single pundit comparing what America has done to itself over the past twelve years to what Germany did to itself following the Reichstag Fire.
Sadly, neither country's people resisted or even expressed reluctance at the surrender of their freedom. On the contrary, liberty died in both places "with thunderous applause."
The Nazis started by setting up communists and Jews as enemies of the state. Civil liberties had to be set aside until this terrible "new threat" was defeated. But victory never came. Instead, the list of enemies got wider and wider and the police state became permanent. The Gestapo was empowered to spy on German citizens. "Papers, please" became the new normal. Kangaroo courts convicted "traitors and insurgents" without due process.
So far, the U.S. government has only executed a Muslim American citizen without a trial. It has only rounded up and indefinitely detained Muslims without a warrant or formal charges. But the definition of "terrorist" and "traitor" is slowly starting to expand. During the Bush Administration, anti-war protestors were viewed as unpatriotic.

Efterklang will bring a decade of albums and tours to a close with "one final show to celebrate them all." Scheduled for 26th February, the band will host a special concert on the island of Als, Denmark, where the trio grew up.
In a statement, the band write that "it will be the last concert with Efterklang as you and we know it. We are not sure what happens after this concert. It is time to reflect and time to move forward. We want to fundamentally change what it means to be Efterklang and how we operate, create and perform."
Featuring highlights from their four critically acclaimed albums, including 4AD releases Piramida and Magic Chairs, the band will be joined on the night by the local symphony Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester and the local girls choir, along with special guests including Thomas Husmer and Rune Mølgaard from the original 5 piece line-up of Efterklang. With this concert, the band celebrate a decade of Efterklang records and shows, after releasing their debut album Tripper in 2004. Additionally, this will also be the only chance to see previously unheard tracks performed live, having initially been written almost ten years ago.
Tickets for The Last Concert are available here, and you can read the band's full statement here.

But over the years, she watched the lobster population dwindle significantly. Later, during two years of extensive travel after graduating from the University of Florida, West discovered similar widespread habitat degradation and made a commitment to help reverse that trend.

General Question
Should I remove my SIM card before selling used phone?
Asked by Blueroses (18090)
June 8th, 2011
I have a Blackberry 9330 that is not carrier branded on the case. It was brand new from Alltel in November, 2010 and used for 4 months before AT&T replaced it for their own network phone.
I've used the BB software to clear the SIM and reset the old phone to defaults but I'm wondering if the SIM is carrier specific? Is it better to remove the card or leave it in place?
This model will still work for Verizon and Sprint subscribers.

Product Description
These 400 LED White Solar String Lights are on a 40m string, ideal for outdoor Christmas trees.
They give amazing light from normal UK weather conditions and will light your garden beautifully from dusk.
Automatic turn on at dusk, with 6 – 10 hours typical operating time in average UK weather conditions. (more in summer months)
The solar panel on this set is larger & higher specification than on the 50, 100 and 200 models & indeed on most other 400 LED lights on sale, to allow for charging the 3 x 1200mAh batteries included in this 400 LED fairy light unit. The larger solar panel energy harvesting unit is optimized for normal UK weather patterns, so a lack of direct sunlight doesn't prevent these lights from being totally awesome all the time.
Solar panel can be either mounted in the ground on the stake (provided) or screwed to a tree, fence or wall.
These lights are ideal for gardens, patios, outdoors, parties, BBQ's, tents, gazebo's, summerhouses, sheds, paths, driveways, bushes, as well as being great christmas party lights.

Player of the Game |
Lauren Chamberlain // Jr. // IF Chamberlain went 3-4 with a pair of homers and two runs batted in Sunday, giving her 14 career multi home run games. Chamberlain's season home run total sits at 12, while her career mark is 72. That's tied for 10th in NCAA Division I history. |
NORMAN, Okla. – There was no weather delay Sunday, and there wasn't any stopping the Oklahoma softball team, either.
Five home runs, including two from junior Lauren Chamberlain, backed a strong performance in the circle from sophomore Kelsey Stevens as seventh-seeded Oklahoma (50-11) defeated No. 10 Tennessee (46-12), 8-2, to win the Norman Super Regional and advance OU to the Women's College World Series for the ninth time in program history.
After weather delays that combined to take over six hours on Friday and Saturday, the field stayed dry Sunday as Oklahoma found the resolve to rally from an early deficit to clinch its fourth straight trip to Oklahoma City, the longest active streak in the country.
"I have to start by saying we give God the glory for this win and this opportunity to play on a day of such tough competition," OU head coach Patty Gasso said. "We saw this team come together and give it all they had freely and with determination. I'm very proud of the effort."
The top of the order provided the power as the five home runs tied an OU postseason record, but the bottom of the order was just as vital to the win.
The 6-7-8 hitters of sophomore Erin Miller, junior Callie Parsons and senior Javen Henson each collected two hits and combined to go 6-10 with a run scored and two runs driven in.
"The unsung hero is Erin Miller this weekend," Gasso said. "She swung very well... she made two big plays yesterday; offensively she's on fire. Moved her up to the sixth spot and she kept doing her thing.
"We made an adjustment with Javen Henson today and it seemed to really help her quite a bit. For her, being a senior in this environment and really contributing offensively, she was frustrated before this game even started just in batting practice. Giving her a plan gave her a little hope and she executed.
"Callie Parsons is just another performer who loves postseason and will do anything for her team. She didn't have the greatest season up to postseason but it doesn't matter. No one is going to look back and think about that. They're going to remember what she did to help us get to the world series."
Tennessee took advantage of an Oklahoma error to score the game's first run.
Megan Geer was hit by a pitch with one out. After a foul out, Geer got into scoring position with a stolen base. The swipe proved big as Haley Tobler's fly ball to left field with two outs was dropped by senior Destinee Martinez, which allowed Geer to score.
Tobler ended up at second on the play but she was erased when sophomore catcher Whitney Ellis threw behind her to record her sixth pickoff of the season.
One inning later the Sooners answered the Tennessee run as Chamberlain led off the frame with a solo homer to the bleachers in left center. Two batters later, senior Brittany Williams walked and then moved to second on a groundout.
Miller then collected her second hit of the game with a chopper back up the middle. Tobler came up firing from center field, but Williams used a great head-first slide to get in around the tag of catcher Annie Aldrete to touch the plate and give OU the lead.
Tennessee tied the game up at 2-2 in the fourth when Melissa Davin lined a homer to left field with one out.
The tie did not last long though as OU took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth.
Martinez led off with a single to center field. Chamberlain followed with a single of her own and Tobler misplayed the ball in center field, allowing Martinez to reach third. Junior Shelby Pendley came up with runners on the corners and put down a perfectly executed squeeze bunt to allow Martinez to score.
"My first at-bat I walked and my second I just hit a ground ball so I was just thinking that I wanted to do the squeeze bunt," Pendley explained. "I told Coach Gasso, 'Let's just do a squeeze right here.' I'm very confident in my bunting even though I don't do it that much."
That proved to be enough run support for Stevens, who improved to 37-8 to tie the OU record for wins in a season. She struck out five and allowed two runs, only one of which was earned, on three hits and two walks.
After giving up the homer to Davin in the fourth, Stevens retired 10 of the next 11 batters she faced and didn't give up another hit until a two-out single in the seventh.
"I felt like I was keeping the hitters off balance and making them work for every out," Stevens said. "It was really the same gameplan coming in and just controlling the at-bat. I just felt really confident."
Oklahoma got an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth thanks to Henson. After being hit by a pitch in her first two plate appearances, Henson connected for her fifth home run of the season when she tagged a 1-2 pitch to left center field, giving OU a 4-2 lead.
Three more home runs in the sixth inning gave the Sooners a comfortable cushion heading into the seventh.
Chamberlain led off with her second homer of the contest, drilling an 0-1 pitch off the scoreboard in left field. The blast marked her 14th career multi-homer game and her second of the season. She now has 12 homers on the year and 72 in her career, tying for 10th in NCAA Division I history with Hawaii's Kelly Maja (2010-13).
"I've never seen somebody so in tune and so confident," Gasso said of Chamberlain. "I don't know even know the words to describe the hitter she is because she can hit anything. Nothing rattles her, nothing makes her uncomfortable. She just thrives on pressure situations."
After a pitching change, Pendley hit a sharp single to center field. Williams then delivered a two-run homer to the bleachers in left center to make it 7-2. For the fifth time this season, Oklahoma hit back-to-back home runs as junior Georgia Casey followed Williams' homer with a solo shot of her own.
That set the stage for the seventh inning where Pendley caught a foul out and Stevens fielded a comebacker for two quick outs. After a walk and single, Stevens recorded her fifth strikeout by fanning Rainey Gaffin to end the game.
