Italy became the latest target in Europe's financial crisis today, as soaring borrowing rates intensified pressure on Premier Silvio Berlusconi to resign and let a new government reform the country's spendthrift ways.
Berlusconi batted away reports that he was considering stepping down in favor of early elections, saying they were "without foundation."
But the prospect of financial disaster was real because of Italy's huge debts and slow growth. Unlike Greece, Ireland and Portugal — the three countries that
Europe has already bailed out — Italy's economy could be too large to rescue.
Investors want the government to quickly pass measures to boost growth and cut debt. But defections from Berlusconi's coalition government mean he no longer commands enough loyalty to pass the reforms.
Increasingly, Berlusconi is himself being seen as the problem.
If Berlusconi should resign or lose a confidence vote, President Giorgio Napolitano would decide whether to call early elections, or name a government of technocrats rather than politicians. The most widely discussed name to lead a technical government is Mario Monti, the former EU competition commissioner who once blocked General Electric's takeover of Honeywell.
The opposition center-left has long demanded the resignation of Berlusconi, citing sex scandals, criminal prosecutions and legislative priorities it says are aimed at protecting his own business interests rather than those of the country. However, it has failed to come up with a leader who can energize the base and create a credible program, leaving the opposition divided and rudderless.
The ultimate fear is that Italy cannot pay for its (euro) 1.9 trillion ($2.6 trillion) debt and need international help. Europe would struggle with a bailout that large, meaning a default that could break up the 17-nation eurozone and drag down the global economy.
During a G-20 summit last week, Berlusconi had to ask the International Monetary Fund to monitor the country's reform efforts, a humiliating step for the eurozone's third-largest economy.
The yield on Italy's 10-year bonds jumped another 0.42 of a percentage point Monday to 6.67 percent, its highest level since the euro was established in 1999.
That is drawing uncomfortably near the 7 percent threshold that forced both Ireland and Portugal to accept bailouts. As yields rise, governments must devote more of their national budgets simply to paying interest costs, creating a vicious circle of debt.
When traders thought early Monday that Berlusconi might resign, those borrowing rates eased. But later in the day, when it was clear the 75-year-old would not leave willingly, rates shot up again, reflecting market fears that he is not the leader who can turn Italy around.
"The leader and his country are in danger of taking the rest of Europe, if not the world, into economic hell," said Louise Cooper, markets analyst at BGC Partners.
Stocks worldwide recovered from big losses, while U.S. stock indexes edged lower Monday, gyrations driven by speculation over Berlusconi's future.
The European Central Bank said Monday that it stepped up its program to buy government bonds last week, spending (euro) 9.5 billion ($13 billion). It has been buying bonds for weeks to keep a lid on borrowing costs to help prevent Italy and Spain from succumbing to the debt crisis.
Berlusconi had lunch Monday with his children and friends at his villa near Milan, sparking Italian news media to speculate he was devising an exit strategy. But the lunch is a long family tradition and his Facebook page said "the reports of my resignation are without foundation."
Public administration minister Renato Brunetta, a Berlusconi loyalist, acknowledged Monday that the government has a "numbers problem" in parliament and if a majority is lacking then "everybody goes home." Interior Minister Roberto Maroni agreed, adding "it is useless to persist."
James Walston, professor of political science at the American University of Rome, said Berlusconi's time is quickly running out, even though elections are not due until 2013.
"He could go tomorrow. He could go next week. The sort of pressure that he is under, coming from his own people, will make it sooner than later," he said.
But Berlusconi has remained defiant, insisting he still commands enough support in Parliament.
"I don't understand how rumors of my resignation are circulating," Berlusconi was quoted as saying Monday by Libero newspaper.
Only the loss of a confidence vote can force a government to resign. Opposition leader Pierluigi Bersani said lawmakers are planning exactly that. Political analysts say a vote could come as early as Tuesday, when parliament is expected to approve the state's balance sheets — a routine measure that failed by one vote last month.
Other analysts say should Berlusconi step down, he would seek to have his right-hand man, Gianni Letta, named to succeed him as premier until early elections can be organized. It is not known whether the Italian president, Napolitano, would agree to that.
If the opposition doesn't call a vote of confidence this week in an effort to unseat him, Berlusconi has pledged to call one himself to prove his majority stands, possibly next week, on reforms and other stopgap measures to lower Italy's debt — now near 120 percent of GDP — and revive the dormant economy.
The reform measures include a plan to sell government assets — expected to raise (euro) 5 billion ($6.9 billion) a year for three years — and tax breaks to reduce youth unemployment of 29 percent and to get women back into the work force in a country where just 48 percent of women have jobs. The legislation would also allow stores to stay open on Sundays and open up closed professions.
Berlusconi has also pledged to raise the retirement age to 67 for all to match European trends, despite the fierce resistance of his allies in the Northern League, on whom Berlusconi relies to govern. They have proven at times difficult allies, exerting a strong independent streak and challenging Berlusconi on key policies. The leader, Umberto Bossi, also has on several occasions expressed doubts about Berlusconi's ability to complete the current mandate.
The leader of Italy's largest labor confederation, meanwhile, predicted 2012 will be a "terrifying" year for the economy even if Berlusconi leaves power. CGIL leader Susanna Camusso also slammed Berlusconi's anti-crisis plan as containing virtually nothing to spark economic growth.
"I hope there will be (early elections), and that they will be soon for the good of the country," she told The Associated Press on Monday.
Mario Draghi, an Italian who just took over as European Central Bank president, said last week that since joining the euro, Italy has enjoyed unnaturally low interest rates for years because its monetary policy has been linked to that of stronger economies like Germany.
"For a long time spreads between sovereign bonds in the euro area were very narrow," he said. "They did not reflect the different realities of different countries."
In contrast, German borrowing costs hit a record low Monday, as investors fled to their bonds as a safe haven in Europe.

60-day ban in place as region recovers from commuter rail strike
At Brown's request, the Alameda County Superior Court imposed a 60-day cooling-off period on Alameda-Contra Costa Transit Agency (AC Transit) workers to stop a walkout planned for early Thursday, Brown's office said on Wednesday.
The order comes the same week as unions for the Bay Area Rapid Transit agency, the fifth busiest rapid transit system in the nation, ended a four-day labor contract strike that jammed roadways and added hours to morning commute times.
"Another strike in the Bay Area is the last thing we need," Brown said in a statement on Tuesday. "I urge the parties to resolve their differences, keeping the bus-riding public in mind."
AC Transit is California's fifth-largest public bus system, serving 181,000 daily riders in Alameda and Contra Costa counties and the eastern part of San Francisco.
"We're very grateful that we'll have this extra time," AC Transit spokesman Clarence Johnson said. "We do believe that we'll be able to come to a resolution."
Members of the agency's lone union, the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 192, has rejected two offers from AC Transit management since contract negotiations began in March.
ATU Local 192 president Yvonne Williams said on Wednesday that the union also hoped to reach a deal by late December. "We'll do our best to work with the district to get a tentative agreement that our members can ratify," Williams said.
Management last proposed a 9.5 percent wage hike over three years and has asked workers to begin to pay towards their monthly healthcare premiums, starting at flat monthly rate of $30 to $113, depending on the plan, and rising to between $70 and $283 in the third year of the contract, both sides said.
The union has asked for a higher raise to offset the increased healthcare costs, Williams said.
After failing to reach an agreement on wages and other contract terms that would be ratified by its members, the ATU issued a 72-hour strike notice on October 14. Brown, a Democrat, responded by obtaining a week-long injunction that began the process to impose a two-month cooling-off period.
A panel appointed by the governor to investigate AC Transit labor negotiations released a report on Monday that said a strike would cause "significant disruption in public transportation services and significant harm to the public's health, safety, and welfare."

Where we see market opportunities and risks
Marcus Brookes, Head of Multi-Manager
What is your view on US Treasuries and the US economy in general?
"With the US 10-year Treasury yielding around 2% we're in the zone where you have to be rather pessimistic on the US economy to think that bonds offer any value.
"It's rare that I get called an optimist, but on the US I am pretty optimistic and I think the US economy is doing fine.
"The industrial side looks awful, but that's not unusual for America, and the service side is looking pretty good.
"Wage growth is finally coming through and could be 2% to 3% this year, plus with the consumer benefiting from lower oil costs, better discretionary spending could finally come through this year and we could see decent growth and a gentle rise in inflation.
"So - we see a more positive outcome for the economy, though that doesn't mean a positive outcome for the US stockmarket."
Where do you see the best investment opportunities globally?
"I think the real value still resides in places like European and Japanese equities, where some well-known issues have held back the economic data from coming through.
"Now the economic data in Europe looks fantastic, so it has a good economic tailwind married with reasonable equity valuations.
"Japan is in a similar scenario. They're doing quantitative easing (QE) and really have got to get their economy going and are willing to do whatever it takes.
"Valuations in Japan are less cheap than Europe, but there's some good profit growth going on. Plus they've managed to weaken their currency, which is useful.
"I think Japan and Europe look very good and I have to say I think emerging markets are getting into that zone too."
Gareth Isaac, Senior Fixed Income Fund Manager
Are market falls overdone?
"The world isn't as bad as it seems. The market is overreacting and sentiment is very poor – but I do think we are starting to see a bottoming out of that and we'll start to see an improvement in sentiment and asset markets."
Where do you see the best fixed income opportunities?
"Both investment grade and non-investment grade corporate bonds are looking very attractive on a multi-year basis, even though they could yet have further outflows.
"They are pricing in a recessionary environment. Spreads between corporate and government bonds have widened substantially over the last few months and we are seeing some attractive opportunities."
Are we about to see a wave of defaults in the high yield sector?
"I don't think defaults are going to rise to the extent that is implied in valuations in the high yield market. However, there will be a lot more volatility going forward."
Nick Kirrage, Co-head Schroder Global Value Team
What is the outlook for UK dividends?
"The UK dividend yield looks like the market is yielding around 4% still, but that is a counterweight between 20 enormous businesses, several of which with dividends the market is telling you are unsustainable, and then a huge number of companies with dividends that are much, much lower because they're actually quite expensive.
"So we're now near all-time lows in terms of the number of companies that are yielding more than the market. That is a very telling stat. We talk about stockpickers, but now it is a time for dividend-pickers."
After a difficult period for value investing, is the tide about to turn?
"In some ways, the worse things get the more positive I become. When things become savage, swift and emotional, and you get capitulation with large shares moving 10% in a day, that's when something irrational is happening. Typically that is building to an opportunity.
"Value is not a quirky back-test of history, nor a clever rule of thumb. It works because humans are humans and become very scared and very greedy.
"Lots of things have changed in markets in my career, but the one thing that hasn't changed in any way is the emotions of participants.
"That's reassuring for our value style as it means the opportunity for us to outperform over the next five years is enormous."
Matthew Dobbs, Head of Global Small Cap
How bad is the impact of the China slowdown on Asian companies?
"You don't have to tell the companies we like in Asia – the Taiwanese firms and the Hong Kong blue chips – that life is tough in China.
"They've known that for three years; they've been running their businesses in a way that reflects the fact they are very cautious about life. They're keeping their powder dry."
What is the outlook for Asian dividends?
"Asia accounts for 8% of the global market cap and yet 30% of all the companies in the world that yield over 4% are listed in Asia.
"Luckily for us that means we don't have to own all those companies. An awful lot of them will definitely cut their dividends.
"On the face of it Chinese banks have big fat dividends, but we don't own any. We don't need to go to places we don't want to go to produce decent dividend income in Asia.
"A lot of companies are in very good shape and have relatively conservative balance sheets and there is a wealth of dividend availability across different sectors."
What is the appeal of Asian small caps?
"The appeal of Asian small caps is not only that there is a big opportunity set – with a couple of thousand companies to choose from, but also that like in more mature markets, the small cap sector exposures are very different to large cap.
"Whereas large cap in places like the US and UK tend to be dominated by big financials, telcos, utilities and miners, small cap is dominated by what I call enterprise sectors like retail, consumer services, healthcare, industrials and to some extent IT. You see the same thing happening in emerging markets."
What do you think about the longer-term Asian outlook?
"The long-term outlook for Asia as the only credible place to drive growth in the globe is unchallengeable frankly.
"Remember China growing at the rate it is growing at now is putting as much into global GDP as it did when it was growing at 10% in real terms ten years ago.
"It is a $10 trillion economy. The implications of Asia on the world are still good rather than bad."
Rory Bateman, Head of UK and European Equities
What's behind recent market volatility?
"What we have seen is very much a market correction as opposed to a serious deterioration in the global economic environment, in my view.
"We've seen a lot of volatility and that's a function of a much stronger dollar, as well as the oil price leading the market to assume there's a global slowdown.
"These issues, along with tight liquidity, have created a significant turn in the market and led sentiment to extreme lows."
Why do you have a positive view on European equities right now?
"I think Europe's one of the best places to invest from a global equity perspective. Most of Europe's exports are intra-Europe and there is a significant intra-Europe recovery at play.
"We are seeing this recovery in consumer sentiment surveys and in recent PMI services surveys. People talk about Europe's exports to emerging markets, but even in Germany 75% of the economy is services and construction-related."
"There's a significant internal recovery story in Europe right now and that will continue. Correlations between stocks have been high because of the fear factor which has led to an indiscriminate selloff, but this has created lots of stock picking opportunities in European equities."

Hey guys, I'm doing a school project, and I need to connect to the database with Java. But the problem is that I can't do that.
My connecting code is this:
String drive = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; Class.forName(drive).newInstance(); String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/sportovikt_db"; String userName = "sportovikt_base"; String password = "xxxxxx"; con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
But I get this error message:
java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'sportovikt_base'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
What's wrong here? Did I filled in everything right? I have to say that my database isn't in my pc, it is inside my host name, which I bought. My website address is sportoviktorina.lt so it is ok to put localhost inside my server url?
Please give me some advices, because I don't know what to do, I have two weeks left, and I didn't even start to program real code

Smyly's debut derailed by miscues, cold bats
Lefty K's six over 5 1/3 innings; offense sputters with runners on
OAKLAND -- After Monday night's extra-inning loss at the Coliseum, Rays manager Joe Maddon said he believes his team is just as good as the A's -- with one addendum: "We've got to prove it on the field."
Tuesday, however, brought much of the same. Drew Smyly was decent in his first start in a Tampa Bay uniform, but the Rays missed chance after chance to score, and they were less than stellar with the fundamentals.
The A's, owners of baseball's best record, took advantage, earning a 3-0 victory and taking a 2-0 series edge. The Rays will look to avoid a sweep Wednesday afternoon.
"When you don't score points, man, everything else is magnified," said Maddon. "Good at-bats, saw a lot of pitches against Jason [Hammel]. We were in good position a lot to get things done, and we just didn't. That's really the tale of the game. Our pitching was definitely good enough to win tonight."
Smyly scattered seven hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings, and he was charged with three runs while striking out six. The southpaw finished at 107 pitches, exiting after Nate Freiman's sixth-inning double made it 2-0.
"I thought I threw pretty good," Smyly said. "Pitch count got up, kind of. I worked a couple deep counts. I missed my pitch against the last batter, Freiman, but besides that I thought I threw the ball well."
The Rays appeared to have a chance to get Derek Norris at home on Freiman's hit, but Yunel Escobar made a wild relay throw that also allowed Freiman to advance to third.
"I just think that he was surprised that the guy went," Maddon said of Escobar. "It wasn't like he should have probably been able to throw more quickly. From what I understand, he did not hear the trail man telling him what to do, and that's why he had to rush the throw and it wasn't that good. He could have had a pretty good shot."
Left-hander Jeff Beliveau replaced Smyly and promptly gave up a run-scoring single to Josh Reddick.
"Right up to that hit by Freiman, [Smyly] kept them in pretty good check," Maddon said. "I thought he made good pitches when he had to, I thought he and [catcher Curt] Casali worked well together. I thought, for a first time out, it was pretty darn good."
The Rays' biggest shortcoming, though, was with the bats. They tagged Hammel for seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 frames -- and yet, somehow, Hammel put up a zero in the run column.
Tampa had multiple baserunners in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, but Hammel induced two double plays and the Rays went 0-for-5 with men in scoring position.
"We had baserunners all over the place," Maddon said. "When you don't hit like that, it really looks as though you might not be fully there. We've just got to get those knocks, a couple knocks. We just haven't. That's been our biggest issue, is the ability to drive in runs. We had the guys out there again, we just could not get them home."
Poor baserunning didn't help, either: In the fifth, Desmond Jennings ran into the first out at third on a grounder to short.
The Rays left nine runners on base and the A's left 10, raising the two-game total to 44 between them.
Tampa Bay hit the ball hard off Hammel, who began his career with the Rays from 2006-08. But the right-hander did just enough to keep the Rays off the board, and they went hitless in 3 1/3 innings against the Oakland bullpen.
"I thought Hammel pitched really well, compared to what he has been doing, apparently," Ben Zobrist said. "I didn't really see anything good to hit. And the ones that we did hit hard were not in the right spot."
After winning five consecutive series, the Rays have now dropped two straight sets and five of their last six games.
On the bright side, their pitching staff became the fastest ever to 1,000 strikeouts on Tuesday, achieving the feat in the 113th game of the season. The 2013 Tigers did it in 114 games.

bklyn6... I know you used to jam to this.
In my case, this is one of the first cuts I illegally downloaded 10 years ago when I started messing around with Napster.

^You know I did. Went to Felix Hernandez's Rhythm Review at Roseland once. He played this joint and we all did the Electric Slide to it. Yay.

Excellent Choice UBM! I bought the Marvin Gaye Live album on vinyl simply for side 4,which is this! That tapping sound that sounds a little bit like a cowbell is actually Marvin tapping a glass that was half filled with water. He actually tested the sound using different amounts of water in the glass!

i don't know why, but i've never, ever liked this song...i am filled with dread every time i hear it. but you are the first one i've ever told, cause everybody seems to love it so dang much! lol

^ It's good to confess such things, IW.
As I mentioned on this blog a couple of years ago, I've seen this record destroy a dance floor. The party people went nuts.

I can't believe playing this song at Roseland was mentioned. To see a football field worth of people all electric sliding to this jam is a thing of beauty - and I hate the electric slide.
This song also reminds me of my neighbor that I used to carpool with to school. She had the most beautiful pitch black thighs.

Play-Mag: Older gaming series are being revisited with increasing regularity these days, with the depths of nostalgia being trawled for anything that can be revamped and sold on to a new generation. Frankly, we're not against this – we like seeing some old games come back for a fresh new run, and it's good to see old characters having another chance for glory. But it's not perfect: there are characters who really should have a new game of their exploits made, though it looks like they've just been forgotten. One of this bunch of gaming's lost is the vampire bastard, Kain.
Doesn't he remind you of the villian in The Hunchback in Notre Dame?
Here's to hoping it's on Crystal dynamics ' "to do" list after the tomb raider reboot .
Me and my bro just talked about this recently....first a Lon remake would be in order.
Would be nice for a new legacy of kain game with some type of coop

Hi all,
I've made a thread on these forums before, looking for programmers for this project, but that's so old and outdated now that I decided to just create a new thread.
Project name:
Days of Destiny
Brief description:
Days of Destiny will be a 2D game set in a post-apocalyptic world, developed in the Java programming language. The outside world (travelling, chatting, etc.) will be orthogonal, with the camera, etc. being a little like Pokemon, while combat will be a side-on view, and will be fast-paced, having lots of quick action, like Super Smash Bros.
Target aim:
Free to play
If the game becomes successful, developers will receive a share of the revenue. Don't count on it though; chances are the game will stay free, and please join the project for the coding/teamwork experience rather than for money.
Java (at least 1.5) will be required for all clients wanting to play
LWJGL, an OpenGL binding for Java, will be used to render the graphics
TWL (Themeable Widget library), will be used for the GUI
KryoNet, a Java library for networking
MySQL for database storage on the server-side
Talent needed:
Java programmers - We require 3 more Java programmers to help with the development of both the client and the server. NOTE: AT LEAST 1 YEAR OF JAVA PROGRAMMING IS REQUIRED!
GUI artist - We're in dire need of an experienced GUI artist to take care of things such as the player-to-player chat window, NPC chat window, menus, etc
Graphics/Pixel artists - We already have a few graphics artists, however, if you really want to join, feel free to apply anyway
Team structure:
[u]Java programmers[/b]
- Quasar (myself): Project leader
- Json: Client/Server and networking developer
- MatthiasM2: Creator of the TWL library (mentioned above), GUI developer
If you're interested in joining the project, please apply on our forums!
Official Days of Destiny Forum
See above
If for some reason you cannot apply on the forum, please send an email to quasar (dot) exe (at) hotmail (dot) com
Previous Work by Team:
MatthiasM2 is the creator of the TWL GUI library (http://twl.l33tlabs.org)
I founded/managed a private server for a popular MMORPG, developed in Java, as well as multiple other smaller games

I begin with these quickie warm-ups, usually under or around a minute. These end up being some of my favorite drawings of the day--no time to fuss, only enough time to get a feeling down.
Lucky day! We happen to have a lithe, angular model--which is great because I feel like drawing with straights, and only straights
(possibly as a remnant of having made these drawings a few days prior).
Then we get into some "longer" two-minute poses. By this point, I'm becoming more and more interested in the graphic qualities of the costume,
sometimes completely ignoring the rest of the figure.

ROCHESTER — Although the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred 71 years ago today, Roland "Sammy" Dagan can still hear the planes and bullets flying by as if it was yesterday.
"It was a clear day, it was a beautiful day," Dagan said while reflecting on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. "But then we were all looking for cover. We were just trying to stay safe."
Dagan, a South Berwick, Maine, native and current resident of Rochester, was serving in the Army Air Corps as a welder at Hickam Field — an Air Force base adjacent to Pearl Harbor — when the first wave of Japanese fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes began their relentless assault on the area.
"We were watching the bullets fly all over the place at Pearl Harbor when the attack started," Dagan said. "But before we knew it they were coming our way and dropping bombs — that's when we started running."
To avoid the incoming bullets and shrapnel, Dagan said he initially climbed under a big trailer and laid there for a brief period. However, he later realized the paint shop just yards away from him was on fire, and, fearing it might explode, quickly fled the area.
"I ended up on the runway with all the planes," he explained. "I just kept on slowly creeping up until I got to the hospital."
And although this hospital had only recently been constructed and wasn't even open, the building still served as a makeshift emergency center, an area where those wounded in the attack were able to receive temporary treatment before being rushed to the island's main hospital in Honolulu.
"There were a lot of guys who were badly wounded. Some were dying, others had sheets over them," he said, slowly trailing off. "I had shrapnel wounds on my arms and legs. I don't know what hit me because they were dropping bombs all over the place, but something did."
And despite his injuries, Dagan said he's extremely lucky to be alive today — thanks in large part to a paperwork gaffe.
As Dagan explained Thursday at his home in Rochester, he originally signed up to be a welder on Wake Island, a small coral atoll located roughly two-thirds of the way between Honolulu and Guam. The island, which is under the administration of the U.S. Air Force, was advertising for welders at the time.
"I took the welders test in Honolulu and passed the test," Dagan said. "I put all the paperwork through. Everyone ended up signing the paperwork for me to go to Wake Island — except for the general. I still don't know why he didn't sign it ... but it saved my life."
Wake Island, Dagan recalled, was "hit very bad" by the Japanese during the infamous attack. "It was lucky," he said of the paperwork holdup. "I ended up coming out of it all right."
And an original newspaper clipping furnished by Dagan showcased the anxiety the community — especially his parents — felt in the immediate aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Dagan of 19 Norton Street, South Berwick, received the following message Thursday morning, December 11, at five o'clock, from Adjutant General Adams of Washington," the Dec. 18, 1941, edition of the Somersworth Free Press states. "The Secretary of War wishes to express his deepest regrets that your son, Private Charles Roland Dagan, was wounded in action in defense of his country, in Hawaii on Sunday, December 7."
The paper goes on to say Dagan was a graduate of Central School, attended St. Michael's School, and later went to Berwick Academy. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps on Sept. 24, 1940.
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dagan remained hospitalized for several weeks as he recovered from his wounds. He stayed with the Army Air Corps until 1945, at which point he left the palm trees and clear waters of Hawaii to return home to a colder New England climate.
Dagan, who turned 93 last month, recently married his wife, Althea, in April. At their home in Rochester on Thursday, they pored over old photo albums and newspaper clippings taken during the attack on Pearl Harbor and his five-year residency on the island.
"I had so many experiences and I had so many close calls," said Dagan, who later earned the highly acclaimed Purple Heart following the attack on Pearl Harbor. "A lot went through my mind that morning. We just didn't know what was going to happen next."

Wenger denies Beckham signing talk
Arsene Wenger has insisted there is no chance of Arsenal signing David Beckham.
Former England captain Beckham is a free agent after winding down his contract with LA Galaxy and he has been linked with clubs around the globe.
He recently moved in to a house in London with his wife and children, fuelling speculation that he would be looking to play in England.
The Sun revealed on Tuesday that Beckham would turn up at London Colney for a training stint with the Gunners - hinting it could be with a view to him securing a deal.
Wenger confirmed at his press conference on Tuesday that Beckham had called him to ask if he could train with his side, but insisted nothing else should be read into the link up.
"He has asked to come here and work on his fitness," Wenger said. "He has not done anything for a long, long time. He comes here to try to be fit again. He called me.
"It is purely for fitness, there is no speculation about signing or anything.
"I believe he is coming here purely on fitness purposes.
"We are helping someone who deserves it. We are open for people who behave well when they come here and who have given great service.

The songs on Florizona are sparse in the manner of Raymond Carver short stories, unspoken ellipses like makeshift sutures holding their insides intact. The personas Walter Salas-Humara employs tease at autobiography, which merely creates intermediate levels of narrative. And like the best who've come before him -- Lou Reed, Bob Dylan or whoever you'd care to insert here -- his songs and albums function best as installments of a single continuous body of work, much as the details of "Sister Ray" or "Heroin" spill over into Coney Island Baby or Street Hassle, or "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" circles around to Desire. Florizona continues in that fine and honorable tradition.
Walter Salas-Humara and the moveable feast of Silos belong in the company of those musicians whose work partakes as heavily of the literary tradition as it does of harmony and rhythm: Lucinda Williams, carrying on the family business from her poet-laureate father Miller Williams; Alejandro Escovedo, as likely to be found these days in theatrical venues as on a concert tour; slumming poets like David Berman of Silver Jews or Stephen Malkmus of Pavement; sweeping historical Pointillists like the Decemberists; or novelist Jonathan Lethem, with whom Salas-Humara has released one album's worth of songs and spoken-word material under the name I'm Not Jim and is finishing a second.

I'm Not Jim
Meeting at a Silos gig in New Orleans, and bound by mutual admiration for the other's craft and life's work, acclaimed novelist Jonathan Lethem and genre-bending bandleader Walter Salas-Humara of the Silos set out to pen some songs together. Within two inspired days, they had crafted an entire album's worth of material. They then doubled their collective, by enlisting the musicianship and production prowess of the Elegant Too, who took the rudiments of each song and enveloped them within a completely new musical and sonic context. The results are staggering. This is an unprecedented artistic collaboration between a renowned author, a great American songwriter, and acclaimed, ground breaking musicians.
Jonathan Lethem is the best-selling author of seven novels, including You Don't Love Me Yet, Motherless Brooklyn, and Fortress of Solitude. Walter Salas-Humara is the stalwart leader of the Silos, the critically-acclaimed progenitors of the roots rock and Americana movements. The Elegant Too are the music production team of Chris Maxwell and Phil Hernandez, who have handled remixes for P-Diddy and the Lox, and have produced such noteworthy artists as Yoko Ono, Ray Davies, John Cale, They Might Be Giants, and Blues Explosion.
First release: September 2008 Bloodshot Records.

Come On Like the Fast Lane
Come On Like The Fast Lane buzzes with rock energy reminiscent of the proto-punk lower East Side legends like The Velvet Underground and Television, punched up with pop melodies that resuscitates a sound that never went out of style. The songs on Come On Like The Fast Lane play out like minimalist short stories framed by the spacious, guitar-heavy arrangements the band is known for.

When the Telephone Rings
Most great bands evolve and change, building up and tearing down their sound. The Silos have a history. This album is both a departure from the purely stripped down trio recordings of late and a return to the richly textured intricacies of albums such as "Cuba." We find an incredible cast of characters buoying the key components of Walter Salas-Humara, Drew Glackin and Konrad Meissner. The trio's still working, and the support staff is back: Mary Rowell, Amy Allison, Richard Lloyd, Dave Boyle, Mary Lee Kortes, Dennis Cronin, Don Piper, and Paul Wallfisch. The sound of the album, then, is immediately familiar. These are the Silos you remember. You know it from the first song's downbeat, and by the chorus you realize: a good friend has come home to visit.
First Release: September 2004 Dualtone Music Group.
Produced by Walter Salas-Humara. Mixed by Dave McNair at Jarvis. Mastered by Ray Kennedy at Zen Masters. Recorded at Studio Double You, Joe Blaney's, Between The Trains, The Boyler Room, Jarvis, Steve McCormick's and Dave Bassett's.

Laser Beam Next Door
During two years of extensive touring The Silos created the songs from Laser Beam Next Door. Roadtesting them with audiences, editing and rewriting, the band reduced them to their essence and eschewed all but the core emotional sequences. The band distilled itself to a trio with each member expanding his own repertoire of musical talents while restricting himself to using these talents in service of the lean, mean musical machine The Silos have become. Laser Beam is a "HUGELY ROCKING" album that still maintains The Silos penchant for deep grooves and melodies you find yourself humming throughout the day.
First Release: March 2001 Checkered Past Records. Re-release: April 2004 Sonic Pyramid.
Produced by Walter Salas-Humara. Mixed by Dave McNair at Cowboy Technical Services and Nebulous. Mastered by Jim Wilson at Yes Mastering. Recorded at Dubway, Nebulous, Albert Hall, Hideaway and Big Sky

Remix album featuring songs from Heater and several music tracks from the Jim Fealy film "I'm Not Jim".
First release: November 1998 Normal Records, Germany.
Remixes by The Elegant Too, Rick Butler, and Ryan Hedgecock. Film music by Walter Salas-Humara.
Cover Art: Rick Butler. Cover Design: Olaf Meyer
It has brooders. It has sonic landscapes mixed with guitar drone and hard back beats. It has stories of life after heartbreak, life after prison, and life after death. The casual greatness of Heater coasts nonchalantly to the shore on the froth of the latest art/roots wave like Boticelli's Venus, only leaner and tanner. It soaks up successive waves of contemporary culture and grows like a sponge. Heater secures The Silos preeminence over the pretenders who've been bobbing in their wake since Cuba.
First Release: September 1998 Checkered Past Records. Re-release: September 2002 Sonic Pyramid.

Susan Across the Ocean
Recorded and mixed start to finish in 18 days by a band who had tested the material for months before live audiences, this is the 1993 Silos in all their glory. Mary Rowell had returned on violin and Manuel Verzosa added his effervescent personality, gorgeous voice and dogged work ethic to leader Walter Salas-Humara's thoughtful songwriting and world weary pipes. This album burns with the hard won integrity of experienced musicians lurching forward through a blinding epiphany of new found purpose and is highlighted by the drop-dead beautiful title cut and bone-crunching rock workouts like Let's Take Some Drugs and Drive Around. And if the original songs weren't enough, the band shows it's impeccable taste by covering songs by Lucinda Williams and Jonathan Richman.
First Release: March 1994 Watermelon Records. Re-release: April 2003 Sonic Pyramid.

The Setters
They were never supposed to be a band. Michael Hall had attended the Berlin Independence Days Festival and wanted to return the following year, but the festival had a rule against performers playing two years in a row. In a desperate phone call to the Festival booker, he insisted he had a new band with his friends Alejandro Escovedo and Walter Salas-Humara. The booker liked the idea and asked what was the name of this new band. Michael mouthed the first two words that came into his mind, "The Setters". Upon hanging up with Berlin, Michael called his two buddies and asked if they wanted a free ticket to Germany. The concert that resulted earned the trio a record deal with the German indy label Blue Million Miles, and a producer in Gurf Morlix. The recording that resulted is raw and stripped down, with Walter using boxes and random household items for drums, and the sessions were mostly in a barn at Loma Ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas with the guitar amps outside in the open air.
First Release: September 1993 Blue Million Miles Records, Germany.
Produced by Gurf Morlix. Mixed by Gurf Morlix and John Hill at Loma Ranch. Recorded by John Hill and Ben Blank at Loma Ranch and Ben Blank Audio

Hasta La Victoria
Hasta La Victoria was written in a bay window in Hoboken looking across the Hudson at the piers and skyscrapers of Manhattan, during a voyage across the country that included bat sightings in Texas as well as blackjack in Vegas, and finally in a small office on Hollywood Boulevard looking across an alley at a mural of Bogey, Bette, Marilyn and Gable. It spans broken marriages, lousy love affairs, futile attempts at auto body repair, the LA Riots, the LA Smog, the LA Transvestites on Santa Monica Boulevard, and fuses the Atlantic and Pacific into the next musical horizon.

The One With the Bird On the Cover
Recorded in a small town theater in Gainesville, Florida, The One With The Bird On The Cover exists as a beacon of the power of pure sound. No sound processing of any kind was used on this album. The band played live and used the many spaces of the theater building, the stage, the hallways, the lobby and bathrooms for different room sounds, not effects boxes in a studio after the fact. The One With The Bird On The Cover was wildly critically acclaimed and led to an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. Its spacious, organic quality made it seem out of place in 1990; however, looking back at the album from within the alt-country glow of the decade's end, The One With The Bird On The Cover resonates like the work of visionaries.
First Release: March 1990 RCA Records.
Produced by Peter Moore, Walter Salas-Humara and Bob Rupe. Mixed by Peter Moore at Eastern Sound. Mastered by Peter Moore at M.D.I.. Recorded at The Florida Theater, Gainesville by Peter Moore and Peter Yanilos.
Musicians: Walter Salas-Humara, Bob Rupe, J.D. Foster, Brian Doherty and Kenny Margolis with Amy Allison, John Francom, Art Jennings, Helen Kirklin, Julian Knight, Dan Rupersburg, Bill Stephensen, Moe Wozniak and Garo Yellin

Cuba is one of those albums
that, in the years since its
release, has become a kind of talisman among
true music fans. Its mention elicits nods of
approval and agreement from like-minded
souls, and kicks the next phase of the
conversation into enthusiastic high gear.
When you meet people of taste who are
unfamiliar with it, the prospect of turning
them onto it becomes a palpable pleasure.
Because you know that Cuba exists inside
everyone, and this extraordinary album can
take you there. It's a journey filled with
longing and loss, warmth and wonder - and
whether everything happens for a reason or
not, albums like this are a document, a
memory map, of why we want to think so.

Ask the DustSongs 1980-1988
Ask The Dust is not just another CD. It's two great vintage LP's on one CD plus two bonus tracks! Ask The Dust is a compilation of The Silos' 1985 debut LP, About Her Steps, and Walter Salas-Humara's 1988 solo LP, Lagartija, plus two songs recorded in 1980 from Walter's personal vault. In November of 1985 a tiny New York label, Record Collect, released the debut album from a "band" called The Silos. It consisted of an eclectic array of songs performed by fourteen musicians in various configurations under the guidance of singer-songwriter Walter Salas-Humara. Some cried, "Independent," some cried, "Alternative," some just cried. A new dawn had risen.
