Rick Reilly gets paid well to write about sports.
And he should. He's been voted National Sportswriter of the Year 11 times and his column graced that back page of Sports Illustrated for 10 years.
Now writing for ESPN's various outlets, Reilly recently wrote a column on the top 10 most annoying things about watching this year's World Cup that appears on the front page of ESPN.com.
The column trivializes this year's Cup and reveals the stubborn mentality of a typical American sportswriter who fails to understand the intricacies of the beautiful game. It is rather surprising that Reilly can make a living writing a book about odd sports like Ferret Legging, Nude Bicycle Racing, or Chess Boxing as he did in his most recent novel, Sports from Hell: My Two-year Search for the World's Dumbest Competition, yet can't seem to wrap his head around a referee's control of stoppage time.
I get it. The majority of Americans will never come to appreciate a 0-0 tie on the world's biggest stage. But let's not belittle those who actually see the beauty in those annoying vuvuzelas, a 0-0 tie, or Robert Green's gaffe-turned lifesaver.
So I'll take Mr. Reilly's top ten annoying things about this year's cup (in bold writing below) and show you why those are the exact reasons why it makes the World Cup worth watching.
1. That pesky cerebrum-blowing incessant buzzing sound coming from the TV set.
What? There's a sporting event that exists without queued music or a Quasimodo video board guy telling you to make noise? Seems foreign. While Reilly (and many other sports fans for that matter) views the vuvuzelas (voo-voo-zella), the foot-long plastic horns providing the subtle hum behind World Cup broadcasts, as an "annoying part of [South African] culture," lets really evaluate their significance.
Imagine you've just scored tickets to your first World Cup, but when you get there you realize your seats are about as close to the field as BP is to stopping leaking oil. You'd love to yell something at your favorite player on the pitch, but from Section 357 ZZZ, you'd be better off floating a paper airplane with a note on it down to the field rather than yelling "Go Drogba!" every time Didier touches the ball.
Everyone hates the guy in the nosebleeds at Dodger games who yells "Let's Go Manny!" every time the beloved dreadlocked slugger steps into the box. After about the third time, everyone wants to know a) where are we going? and b) when is this guy going to figure out there's no way on God's green Earth that Manny can hear him? Now give that guy a vuvuzela. I bet Manny hears him.
The same goes for the 60,000 or so fans filling World Cup stadiums. They've paid for a ticket: they deserve to be heard.
2. The embarrassing photographer bibs the guys on the bench have to wear during the game.
First off, it's not a bib. I don't see anyone eating creamed carrots on the sideline.
It's a pinnie. And they are worn to help the referees distinguish who is on the field and who is not. If an assistant referee is on the opposite sideline trying to keep an eye on the offside, it might be a little difficult to distinguish the yellow jersey of a Brazilian field player and his substitute counterpart warming up on the sideline. It's just plain common sense.
3. The Twinkie-fingered gloves goalkeepers wear.
A sphere of synthetic leather is being rocketed towards you from about 20 yards away. Would you rather be wearing batting gloves?
4. The godforsaken vuvuzelas! Make them stop!
Make them louder! That way we won't have to listen to the commentators who aren't doing anything to help educate the American public of the game.
Take the opening match between South Africa and Mexico. Carlos Vela scored what appeared to be a goal in the first half, only to be called for offside. Because Vela was behind the goalkeeper and in front of the last uniformed defender on his attempt, commentators Martin Tyler (who is a soccer expert only because of an English accent) and Efan Ekoku (who played for the Nigerian national team) mercilessly ranted about how the line judge missed the call.
The offside rule reads: "A player is in an offside position if: he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent."
Tyler and Ekoku discussed the "missed call" all the way up until halftime, misinforming millions of Americans of what offside actually is. It wasn't until after a commercial break when analyst Alexi Lalas came to the rescue (how often can you say that?) and actually explained what was a ballsy, brilliant call by the assistant referee.
I say blow harder into that vuvuzela. That way the hot air is going into a tube of plastic rather than out of a commentator's mouth.
5. All the faking.
Flopping is one of the most annoying parts of the game. As defender during my playing days, nothing irked me more than a forward who went down a little too easy. But it is a part of the game.
Imagine: you've been running up and down the sideline for 80 minutes, chasing the world's best players while trying to make an effort to score. Yet, your team can't seem to get a goal and has had a rather hard time creating any scoring opportunities. Your team is in the bottom of the group and you know you need three points if you are to survive. Now you find yourself with the ball, sprinting towards the top of the box with a defender on your back. You touch the ball a little too far in front, but you feel the defender lightly clip your back heel. Are you going to let the ball trickle into the goalkeeper? Or are you going to take a dive and possibly earn your team a dangerous free kick?
Obviously, you dive. And when your team scores on the ensuing free kick, you become a national hero- no matter how big of a goat you look like on super slow motion instant replay.
6. The yellow cards.
Sure, it looks amusing when a head referee, clad in a telemarketer headset and short shorts, runs up to a player flashing a slip of yellow plastic. Reilly asks, "Can you imagine seeing some ref running up to Rasheed Wallace after laying out Carmelo Anthony with a roundhouse right and sticking that yellow card right in his face?"
No I can't. But I can imagine a basketball referee running over, blowing hard on his whistle, and making a "T" sign with his hands. Now what's more ridiculous?
7. The ties.
To Americans, ties were made for work. Not to work. Being on-par with someone else in this country is about as acceptable as wearing brown shoes and a black belt.
But to other parts of the world, a tie is the most one can hope for. Take New Zealand, who hadn't been to a World Cup since 1982 and came in as one of the lowest ranked teams in the tournament. The All Whites drew a 1-1 tie with Slovakia, securing New Zealand's first World Cup point in team history.
How significant was it?
UCSB defender Michael Boxall, a native of Auckland and member of the All Whites' 2008 Beijing Olympics squad, said, "It was literally the happiest I've ever been at five in the morning! To see New Zealand prove they belong with a top-20 team means a lot not just to me, but back at home."
8. The World Cup itself.
I've hoisted a lot of things in my life (boxes, small children) and there's still some things that I'm waiting to hoist (my first born, my first real paycheck), but there's something that I'll probably never get to hoist- the World Cup trophy. Nothing gives me chills more than when the team captain of the World Cup champion lifts that piece of gold for the first time, igniting the entire stadium into a confetti-drunk rage while letting his teammates bask in the glory of the moment.
The same can't be said for the BCS National Championship trophy, the one that says SEARS on it and who's removable glass football on the top makes it impossible for anyone to hold the trophy in its entirety above their head for fear of the oblong piece of glass slipping and shattering on their skull.
I'll take the Cup, thank you very much.
9. Stoppage time.
Reilly writes about the frustration of not knowing how much stoppage time is going to be allowed in any given match. "Why can't we know how much time is left?/Why must it be such a mystery?/ Why do only the refs get to know?" he wrote.
Well, there is someone there to tell you how much stoppage time there is. His name is Mr. Fourth Official. He looks like this.
Wake up, Mr. Reilly. The match is tied!
10. The vuvuzelas from eardrum-hellas!
Hell, turn the sound off. Soccer is a game better enjoyed at the pub anyway.

In front of the Christmas Tree – Courtesy Jenna von Oy
Celebrity blogger Jenna von Oy is a new mama!
Best known for her roles as Six on Blossom and Stevie on The Parkers, von Oy is also a musician who has released two albums and is set to publish a book, The Betweeners.
von Oy, 35, wed Brad Bratcher on Oct. 10, 2010, and resides in Nashville with her husband and five dogs.
They welcomed their first child, daughter Gray Audrey, on May 21. She is now almost 8 months old.
In her latest blog, von Oy reflects on the spirit of Christmas — and celebrating the holiday with Gray.
You can find her on Facebook and Twitter @JennavonOy, as well as posting on her weekly blog, The Cradle Chronicles.
I realize it's January now, and you've probably taken down your holiday lights. You've stowed the stockings, eaten all of the cookies and put away the gifts. But in my house, the Christmas spirit is still alive and well. Christmas has not left the building. Our tree is still whiling away the hours in our living room, and it isn't because I'm lazy or haven't found time to return everything to the attic. I just wanted to wake up to it for one more week, to enjoy the season a bit longer, to absorb the hope and happiness it brings.
Christmastime has always been truly magical for me. I believe it isn't just a time of year; it's a state of being. Regardless of your spiritual upbringing, it's a season for togetherness, joy, peace, and goodwill. It's a time to treasure those you love, in a profoundly meaningful way … especially your children. There's no other season that incites wonder quite like Christmas, and seeing it through the eyes of my daughter for the first time was nothing short of miraculous. We have begun the holiday memories she will think back on fondly one day.
It inspires me to reminisce about my own special Christmas moments, especially those shared with my siblings: penning wish lists for Santa, trudging through snow to choose the "jolliest" tree we could find, hanging stockings on our mantle, putting our boots out in celebration of the German holiday of Saint Nicholas (the boots would get filled with nuts, fruit and other goodies), baking cookies and over-decorating them, festooning our tree in the ornaments we've collected each year since we were born, and dancing maniacally to "The Nutcracker Suite."
I miss the winter wonderland of our East Coast upbringing: ice skating on the pond behind the home in which we were raised, watching snowflakes blanket the ground like frosting (it just begged for snowmen and snow angels to be made), sledding down our driveway in makeshift toboggans, and warming up in front of the fire with mugs of mulled cider. Those were the days!
But it isn't all of the "deck the halls" and "fa-la-la" that made my spirit bright. Most importantly, the holiday season meant time spent with my family. It meant hunkering down out of the bitter cold and playing board games, while Burl Ives sang "A Holly Jolly Christmas" in the background. It meant attending midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and listening to my dad's beautiful voice resonate from the choir. It was the joy of finding the perfect gift for my sister or brothers, and the glee of watching them unwrap it.
Even in adulthood, I find the Christmas magic hasn't gone anywhere. It's still in my heart, though its style has morphed a bit. Now I get to celebrate with my own little family, embracing long-held traditions while creating new ones with my husband and daughter.
I thought it might be fun to share some of them with you. I warn you, if you are feeling a bit of "bah humbug" and want Christmas to just go away already, this may not be the blog for you … I'll begin with our "infamous Christmas tape."
Me back in 1980 – Courtesy Jenna von Oy
Many years ago, my siblings and I acquired a cassette tape of a schizophrenic compilation of Christmas music. It contains everything from Mahalia Jackson's "Go Tell It On The Mountain," to Johnny Mathis singing "Sleigh Ride," to the Philadelphia Orchestra playing the "Hallelujah Chorus." Like I said, it's a wacky mix of tunes. Regardless, it's our auditory mascot during Christmas. A year without hearing this crazy collection of songs would be a sad year, indeed.
The four of us used to jam to it while trimming the tree, and it was almost always accompanied by our crooning at the top of our lungs and dancing wildly around the living room. This was typically followed by a period of breathlessness and tearful laughter. My poor parents either hid or videotaped it. Want to know how to shed the pounds from over-indulging in Christmas cookies? The routine I just mentioned will definitely do it. I'll spare you any sort of visual, but take my word for it … it's a special breed of insanity aerobics.
The calamity often occurred into the wee hours of the morning, since we were generally high on sugar when it all went down. We found that the addition of hot cocoa or eggnog greatly improved our stamina. I've long suspected this display of madness would frighten away potential suitors or spouses, but I'm happy to report Brad has stuck around despite this tradition. He has witnessed it on several occasions and, while he has declined any participation in it, he hasn't disowned me yet. 🙂
I must admit it wasn't quite the same this year without my siblings around to share in my decorating dance-a-thon. Sadly, leaping across the kitchen via Skype just doesn't have the same effect. This didn't stop me, however, from showing my daughter what the hype is all about. I transferred that wonderfully awful cassette tape to my iPod, and Gray and I danced like no one was watching. She was all smiles and laughter. I can only hope the Christmas enthusiasm runs through her veins, as it does mine!
Another family tradition involves our ongoing ornament collection. My mom began the custom of gifting each of us kids with a yearly ornament, beginning at our births. The keepsakes have always served as a reminder of the wonderful memories we shared that year, often depicting something meaningful we experienced. For example, the first year I visited France, I received a mini Eiffel Tower to suspend from the pine branches. When I played "Molly" in a regional production of Annie at the age of six, I got a Little Orphan Annie ornament. It's neat to go back through the years to see what stories our tree adornments conjure up!
Brad and I are continuing this collection with Gray, and she ended up with several ornaments this year. I hope they will always be a reminder of her first Christmas, and I look forward to passing them along to her once she is married and has a family of her own.
This tradition actually gave way to a new one as well … A few weeks before Christmas, once our main tree was already dressed and lit with the normal accoutrements, Gray got to pick out a smaller tree to host all of her special ornaments. She also had the honor of placing the first decoration on the larger one. Now that Christmas is over, we are going to find a spot in our yard to plant the sapling. I think it's a great way to show her the importance of giving back to the earth, and it will be a neat project for us as a family.

The side benefit of this new tradition is that it helps to satisfy my need for a real evergreen in the house. Though I grew up in a family where we never dreamed of putting up a plastic tree, I've had to switch gears a bit in the past few years. Two words for you: Basset Hound. Evidently Christmas trees are the equivalent of a five-star gourmet meal to our sweet Mia, and the ornaments are her canine caviar. She will take any opportunity to snack on the branches if they are real pine, which we found out the hard way.
Needless to say, we've had a huge plastic deal ever since. At least the smaller tree that Gray chose fits on a tabletop, where it is out of reach! Mia's Scrooge-like master plan has officially been thwarted. Now if I could just keep our pug, Bruiser, from unwrapping presents before Christmas morning…
So now that you know some of our special yearly customs, here's an idea of how Gray's first Christmas went down: I suppose it began the first week of December, with our official Christmas photo shoot. Though attempting to get all three of us to smile simultaneously was documentary-worthy, I'm thrilled to say it actually happened.
I give full credit to the patience of our photographer, Lila, who also happens to be one of my best friends. Since she has two children of her own, she's well aware of the trials and tribulations of photographing a child in the throes of the naptime hour. Fun was had by all, especially when a tantrum began rearing its ugly head as we approached the agreed upon location. Granted, Gray immediately perked up when she saw the camera turn its focus onto her. Go figure.
My mom spent the first two weeks of December with us, and we got to bake cookies and peanut brittle together … Okay, I'm lying. I spent the time trying to keep my daughter's hands out of the flour and butter, while my mom wound up doing the bulk of the work. I think I got more exercise during the whole affair, but my mom put in the baking time. She has been generous enough to tell everyone we made the tasty treats together, but I thought I should set the record straight; I was on baby duty. The cookies were mostly her doing. (Thank you, Mommy!)
The neat part was that she got to be here for a plethora of Gray's first holiday experiences, such as picking out the baby tree, decorating the house in its holiday attire, and the aforementioned family photo extravaganza. It was a very special time for us, and made it feel a lot more like Christmas. (I should also point out that the number of gifts Gray wound up getting virtually doubled in size, thanks to my mother and mother-in-law. Grandmas sure do love to spoil their grandbabies!)
One other adventure my mom got to be present for was Gray's first picture with Santa. We waited until a weekday morning, to avoid crowds, and headed over to experience all that is jolly old St. Nick at the mall. I'll be honest — my cynical side anticipated a fraud. I envisioned a scary, spiked eggnog-breathing, smoker's cough-hacking, faux-bearded, senile, skinny guy in a fat suit, smiling at all of the children in a way that makes every mother's stomach turn.
First Picture with Santa – Worldwide Photography
I couldn't have been farther off. This guy was the real deal. And when he said to Gray, "I'd take you to the North Pole if I could," I actually believed he meant it in the sweetest way possible. Santa was the kindest man I could have asked for. And you know what? Gray knew it too. My little girl, who has been battling some serious bouts of separation anxiety, reached out for Santa like she'd known him all her life. The photographers said she was the first kid all day to smile for a photo … which made my day almost as much as it made theirs!
On Christmas morning, Bruiser demonstrated how presents should be opened (in his world: frenzied and with no regard for content…). Gray sort of got the hang of it, though next year will be more of a sight to see, I imagine. We took it easy with gifts this year … quality not quantity. Instead, our gifts were mostly in the form of time together, since my husband got a week off from work.
It was such a joy to cuddle up together on the sofa, even if it is nowhere near large enough to comfortably fit all of our human and canine family members. We watched time-treasured classics such as Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and the original version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. In a very merry post-gift unwrapping fatigue, Gray fell asleep on her Daddy's chest and took a little nap. Brad said it was the best Christmas present he could have received. Sometimes the most cherished gifts don't come in a package tied with ribbon.
Moving on to a slightly less magical subject, many friends said they sneezed and vomited their way through the remainder of 2012. Thankfully, we made it through without getting sick. We were desperately trying to spread Christmas cheer instead of germs this year, which is often hard with young kids. I can't remember the last time I didn't lose my voice during the holidays, so I was thrilled to get through unscathed.
Then again, you ain't heard nothin' until you've heard my Darth Vader-esque rendition of "Joy To The World," which I usually grace everyone with at the mass on Christmas Eve. It brings anything but joy to the world, I can promise you that. Instead, I was able to sing loud and proud this year. Gray even tried to join in! The irony? As I publish this blog, I'm plagued with a cold … at least it allowed me to ring in the New Year first.
Much to our dismay, no snow fell in advance of our holiday here in Nashville. We did not wake up to a white Christmas morning. However, we had just enough of a flurry in the days following, to don boots and gloves and let Gray experience her first snowfall. It was really only a minor dusting, but she was mesmerized and commenced "tap dancing" in the snow.
For those who are currently picturing some fantastic routine involving staccato wings and ball changes, being executed by world-class artists such as Savion Glover and Gregory Hines, you may want to rethink your visual. Our version consisted of my holding Gray's body upright, while she shuffled her feet around. Snow and dirt were flying everywhere, but my kid was as happy as … well, a kid in snow.
Gray's first snow! – Courtesy Jenna von Oy
If you kept reading until the end of this post, I'm impressed. Santa's list isn't as lengthy as this month's blog, so I hope you'll forgive the verbosity. I guess I was swept up in the holiday magic and excitement. Perhaps my New Year's resolution should include minimalizing my words? 🙂
I hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday, filled with love, laughter and endless blessings. We wish you many more in 2013, and pray you are surrounded by the Christmas spirit all year long!
Until next time,
— Jenna von Oy

True, but so's a lot of scorers (like Ray Allen). Gordon can put up the most points in his time on the floor. Thats someone you need to be playing.

The polar vortex and related provocateurs created havoc for the Eastern Townships' tourism industry at the outset of winter, but as of two weeks ago, the region has been on a roll with the right kind of storm: lots of snow, and no rain, sleet or ice. Hotels, restaurants and sports centres are hopping.
"We have faced huge weather variations over the past 20 years," said Alain Larouche, president of Tourism Eastern Townships. "And after a chaotic start to the season, the snow-sports scene now is booming.
"If there is no snow in town, people in Montreal and Ottawa do not realize how good the conditions are."
The current conditions are a far cry from power outages and the hassle of melting snow for water and cooking over fireplaces. True, it was a creative Christmas that brought people together to help each other, but it's good to have things back to normal, snowy mid-winter conditions.
"It's absolutely gorgeous today — so much new snow and so much sun," innkeeper Patricia Gérard said when I stopped by her auberge in Sutton recently. "The word is out about the great snowfall, so both the inn and the dining room are nearly full tonight, and it's only Monday."
Gérard and her husband, John Kostuik, own Auberge des Appalaches, a charming, 11-room lodge high atop a hill overlooking the town of Sutton. Thanks to his modern bistro cuisine and her attention to décor, Appalaches has become the darling of locals and tourists. It's a rustic, European-style ski lodge with a cosy fireplace salon and only one television in the lounge, all the better for making friends.
Gérard's most recent gambit is the creation of two new suites, the Queen Superior and Queen Patio, which are the best rooms in the house. These two rooms were reconfigured from five smaller ones, so there is more space, lots of light and bigger bathrooms. Gérard has added a soupçon of country chic with lean lines, barnwood trim and colourful quilts.
The Eastern Townships have some of the most attractive deals in the ski and snowboard industries — a total of 97 packages, Larouche reports.
Mont Sutton's terrific Ski-and-Stay, a.k.a. Ski-Dodo-Ski, is valid at a variety of inns, B&Bs, condos and hotels throughout town. It's valid Monday to Thursday and includes one overnight, plus breakfast and lifts for 1½ days. It starts at $89 per person, double occupancy, or $159 for two nights and 2½ days of skiing, at six lodgings, including Auberge des Appalaches and the very different Le Montagnard, a three-star complex with several price-conscious formulas: studios for two to four people, condos for six to eight, chalets for 16 to 20 and hotel rooms.
The stakes are raised a little at five slightly fancier places where Sutton's Ski-and-Stay costs $109 per person, double occupancy for one night, or $195 per person for two nights. This category includes Le Domaine Tomali-Maniatyn, a deluxe hilltop B&B in a contemporary mansion, and Les Caprices de Victoria, a romantic B&B with antiques and ornate vintage décor.
On the mountain, Mont Sutton is offering $25 tickets and $32 lessons if you can rework your schedule to ski during the week, valid until Feb. 20. Tuesdays are for the 50+ Club (skiers 50 or older); on Wednesdays, it's the Suits & Ties gang for men; and on Thursdays, the Divas on Skis get goodies with their package for women.
In contrast to Sutton's intimate inns, the Magog-Orford region is home to several large resorts, such as Estrimont Suites & Spa, Hôtel Chéribourg and Manoir des Sables, all of which have dining, on-site activities and family options.
They're within a kilometre or two of Mont Orford and the wonderful cross-country trails of Parc national du Mont Orford.
The Morning Ski Package at Manoir des Sables, a comprehensive, four-star country resort, features all-day lift tickets at Mont Orford, with one overnight and breakfast, and access to free activities: an indoor pool, hot tubs, a skating rink, snow tubing and the loan of snowshoes and cross-country ski gear for exploring the grounds.
Prices fluctuate at large hotels like Manoir des Sables, but the Morning Ski Package runs about $146 per person, double occupancy on weekends, or $132 per person, double occupancy on weekdays. Children stay for free, but pay junior rates for breakfast and skiing.
For extra fees, guests can take time off the slopes at Manoir des Sables's very complete Spa Nordique Villegia, which has 16 treatment rooms, a Turkish-style steam bath, saltwater whirlpools and a Finnish sauna. The Just for Me package is an indulgent, three-hour trio of a massage, a facial and a pedicure, for either men or women, at $175.
Down near the Vermont border, a 90-minute drive from the Champlain Bridge, Owl's Head is a peaceful, somewhat remote mountain community with slopeside lodging and a restaurant and massage services at the base lodge. At the end of January, the site featured 25 to 35 centimetres of new snow.
Owl's Head is a great buy, with a $17 pass on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for all skiers and approximately $23 for juniors on weekends. Members of CAA get up to 25 per cent off regularly priced tickets Thursdays through Mondays. And if you purchase in advance at store-en.owlshead.com, you can save up to 40 per cent on any day.
The Don't Tell Fred package at Auberge Owl's Head (referring to Mansonville native Fred Korman, who has owned the area for 48 years) starts at $75 per person, double occupancy, including one night, breakfast and lift tickets. That's a steal. Don't tell.

The TLV237x single-supply operational amplifiers provide rail-to-rail input and output
capability. The TLV237x takes the minimum operating supply voltage down to 2.7 V over the extended
industrial temperature range while adding the rail-to-rail output swing feature. The TLV237x also
provides 3-MHz bandwidth from only 550 µA. The maximum recommended supply voltage is 16 V, which
allows the devices to be operated from (±8-V supplies down to ±1.35 V) a variety of rechargeable
The CMOS inputs enable use in high-impedance sensor interfaces, with the lower voltage
operation making an ideal alternative for the TLC227x in battery-powered applications. The
rail-to-rail input stage further increases its versatility. The TLV237x is the seventh member of a
rapidly growing number of RRIO products available from TI, and it is the first to allow operation
up to 16-V rails with good ac performance.
All members are available in PDIP and SOIC with the singles in the small SOT-23 package,
duals in the MSOP, and quads in the TSSOP package.
The 2.7-V operation makes the TLV237x compatible with Li-Ion powered systems and the

Bragg makes MySpace admission
'We'd never actually read the Ts and Cs'
Billy Bragg had never read the rules for MySpace before hosting his music there, the singer has admitted. Bragg made the admission after convincing the site to alter its terms and conditions to safeguard the intellectual property rights of musicians.
Bragg said that sites such as MySpace could help young musicians rewrite the rules of the music industry, but only if their rights are protected. He was speaking in today's edition of OUT-LAW Radio, the weekly technology podcast.
Bragg has recently won battles with MySpace and Bebo over the sites' terms and conditions, forcing the sites to make it clear that they have no claim to material posted there.
"I was concerned about people coming into MySpace for the first time, people coming into the new industry for the first time. I don't want to find out in 25 years time that 20 per cent of my earnings are owned by Apple or whoever. I want the right to be able to exploit my own back catalogue," he said. "If I choose to sign that away to someone for life of copyright that's my choice but before that happens I want kids to know what that means and what the ramifications of that are."
Bragg had posted his music on the site but withdrew it when he realised the site appeared to claim rights over his music. "Like the majority of people who posted stuff on MySpace we'd never actually read right through the terms and conditions," he admitted. MySpace is reported to be home to 2.2m bands.
"The idea of giving someone that kind of licence – it's phenomenal, huge coverage. I wouldn't give someone that kind of licence if they were giving me an advance, never mind on a free service. I said we wouldn't put anything up until this had been changed or clarified."
Bragg has praised MySpace for its swift action in issuing new terms and conditions explicitly saying that material belonged to its creators, saying that the company acted "in the spirit of the internet".
"The thing I'm most delighted about is that the principle of the right of the producer of the material to ownership of the right to exploit their own material seems to have been established on the largest internet community site of them all, which is MySpace," he said.
Previously, MySpace's rules said that a user would "hereby grant to MySpace.com a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute such content on and through the services."
The new conditions read: "MySpace.com does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, 'content') that you post to the MySpace services. After posting your content to the MySpace services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such content, and you continue to have the right to use your content in any way you choose."

Judge in Edwards case recuses herself from hearing
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) – The judge overseeing John Edwards' criminal trial has recused herself from considering whether to quash a subpoena issued to a former speech writer for the two-time presidential candidate.
The Democrat's lawyers are seeking an extensive list of financial records and other documents from Wendy Button, a 2008 campaign staffer expected to testify for the prosecution.
U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles said Wednesday that her husband is a former law partner of one of the lawyers representing Button. Another judge will hold a hearing Friday in Greensboro to determine whether Button must comply with the subpoena.
Eagles will still oversee the trial. Opening statements are scheduled for Monday.
Edwards has pleaded not guilty to campaign finance violations related to money used to hide his mistress during his 2008 campaign.

Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine student Sara DeWitt was one of 11 students honored Thursday for her involvement in the Columbus-Athens Schweitzer fellowship program at the annual Celebration of Service held at the Ohio Union. The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is a national program honoring the great humanitarian, which provides a stipend for graduate students who commit to a year-long partnership with a non-profit agency to support under-served populations.
DeWitt, who just completed her second year of veterinary school, worked with Lifecare Alliance in support of their Senior Petcare Program, which includes access to the Ohio State Veterinary Outreach Program for clients with pets that need veterinary care. DeWitt recruited volunteers and organized community resources to supply food, exercise, medical care and transportation for these pets. She is an advocate for the pets that provide home-bound people with companionship.
The Columbus-Athens Schweitzer Fellows for 2014-2015 were also introduced at the event, and include another student from the College of Veterinary Medicine: Colleen Shockling Dent, who will be a third-year student during the program. See Colleen's presentation here.
The Columbus-Athens Schweitzer fellowship program includes 11 colleges at Ohio State and two colleges at Ohio University, as well as other partners such as Nationwide Children's Hospital, and OhioHealth. Fellows are responsible for designing and implementing a service project of at least 200 volunteer hours that will fulfill an unmet health need in the community. Once their service is complete, Fellows continue as members of the Schweitzer Fellows for Life alumni network, which now includes more than 3,000 people and 12 chapters across the nation.

Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins is not in the lineup tonight against Arizona and likely will miss a few days with a bruised foot.
Manager Charlie Manuel said Rollins' foot was really sore. He will not be put on the disabled list.
Rollins fouled an 0-1 pitch from Jason Hammel off the foot in the second inning Monday against Colorado.
Although he fell to the dirt in pain and spent several moments trying to walk it off, Rollins played the duration of the game. X-rays on the foot were negative.
Wilson Valdez will play shortstop tonight, with Placido Polanco remaining at second base and Greg Dobbs at third.
Tonight's line-up:
- Shane Victorino CF
- Placido Polanco 2B
- Raul Ibanez LF
- Ryan Howard 1B
- Jayson Werth RF
- Greg Dobbs 3B
- Carlos Ruiz C
- Wilson Valdez SS
- Cole Hamels LHP
Charlie Manuel made it pretty clear that he is holding out hope for Roy Oswalt, even though he didn't actually use the veteran righthander's name. The Phillies have maintained trade discussions with the Astros, but a series of complicating factors would have to work themselves out before any deal is struck. Those issues include Oswalt's hefty price tag next year, the $16 million option that he wants picked up, and his no-trade clause, which enables him to block a move anywhere he doesn't want to play.
Regardless, the Phillies still have their sights set on Oswalt.
"I think if we would get the type of starter that we want, I think that you'd see that the top of our rotation would be very strong," Manuel said, "and going down the stretch and also if we get into the playoffs, that definitely comes into play big."
And if the Phillies can't get that type of starter, will they still need to trade for a pitcher who profiles more toward the bottom of the rotation?
"I don't want us to get some guy that we've already got, if that makes sense," Manuel said. "What would be the purpose of that?"

U.S. stocks trimmed gains as optimism about a drop in jobless claims faded and technology and consumer shares turned lower, while Treasuries erased losses after a $13 billion bond auction. Corn led commodity gains as a report showed global inventories will drop more than expected.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased less than 0.1 percent as of 4 p.m. in New York after rallying as much as 0.8 percent earlier, paring gains as Apple Inc. extended its retreat from a September record to more than 10 percent. Thirty-year Treasury bond yields fell three basis points to 2.85 percent after climbing as much as five points. The S&P GSCI gauge of raw materials added 1.1 percent as corn, natural gas, soybeans and wheat led gains. The dollar fell against 14 of 16 major peers.
Global stocks and commodities extended gains this morning after U.S. applications for jobless benefits unexpectedly fell by 30,000 to 339,000 last week, in a report which may reflect difficulty adjusting the data for seasonal swings at the start of a quarter. Early gains also came after Citigroup Inc. upgraded U.S. equities to overweight, citing central-bank stimulus plans and earnings momentum, and predicted a 9 percent rally in global stocks by the end of next year.
"The economy is improving, we're doing a better job," Philip Orlando, the New York-based chief equity strategist at Federated Investors Inc., which oversees about $370 billion, said in a telephone interview. "I think we should be going faster but this is a phenomenal claims number. So now the question is, 'Is this number real or is it going to get revised away next week?'"
Slump Halted
The S&P 500 rose for the first time in a week. Unemployment claims were forecast to increase to 370,000 last week from 367,000 the previous period, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists. One state accounted for most of the plunge in claims, a Labor Department spokesman said as the data were issued to the press.
Sprint Nextel Corp. jumped as Japan's Softbank Corp. was said to be in talks to buy control of the company. Schlumberger Ltd. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. paced gains in commodity producers.
Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. paced gains among financial shares in the S&P 500 and banks rose the most among 19 industries in Europe after people familiar with the talks said the European Union may push back the deadline for applying tougher bank-capital rules for as long as a year. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the global standard- setting body that prepared the new rules, admitted this week that not all nations will meet the 2013 start date.

And of course, there are more layers — as we gaze at Nagler's photographs we are looking at images of people who are themselves looking, as, off-stage, Nagler also looks.
Nagler, who says he didn't visit an art museum until he was a senior in college, says in his afterword to the book that he aims to make new layers of art upon the old. "I am inspired by the human dance that takes place in front of great works of art and the accidental and beautiful juxtapositions that can occur."
The photographs may make us laugh, be subtle, obvious, poignant, or touching. They draw us in and ask for our attention.
Visit Richard Nagler's website for a preview of the photographs published in Looking at Art, The Art of Looking.
A launch party for the book takes place at Mrs Dalloway's bookstore, 2904 College Ave. Berkeley on Friday June 20 at 7:30 p.m.

Carey Price to miss the rest of Rangers series
If the Canadiens are going to make the Stanley Cup final, it will be without their MVP goalie.
After a couple of days' speculation how bad Carey Price's right leg was hurt in the Game 1 crease collision with New York Ranger Chris Kreider, Habs coach Michel Therrien solemnly delivered the news Monday morning that Price was out for the series.
"We're really disappointed, obviously he's our best player," Therrien said.
Therrien then quickly took his frustrations out on Kreider, after saying a day earlier that his review of the incident led him to conclude the injury was accidental.
"It's a reckless play and that's the truth. It's not the first time he's going at goalies. You end up losing your best player … but our group has faced a lot of adversity over the course of the season and we have the attitude to respond really well and I expect we'll start tonight (Game 2 at the Bell Centre)."
Peter Budaj, who mopped up in Game 1's eventual 7-2 loss, and AHL all-star Dustin Tokarski, are Therrien's options for Monday night. But while saying he's made his decision, the coach won't make it public until game time.
In the second period of Game 1, Kreider used speed to get his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame into the open. Knocked slightly off balance by pursuing Canadiens' defencemen, he skidded into Price, with the brunt of contact, skates in the air, jamming Price's knee into the post. Kreider had attempted to shoot while on his knees, which the Rangers have said was evidence there was no intent to run Price.
Therrien's charges against Kreider dated back to high-speed crack-ups the forward had with goalies such as Craig Anderson and most recently in the last round against Pittsburgh Marc-Andre Fleury. Price tried to skate on Sunday but lasted just five minutes and was not on the ice Monday morning. Rangers' coach Alain Vigneault, sensing the Canadiens were playing head games, had said he expected Price to play Game 2.
"We preach about being good teammates and we have a chance tonight to give Carey a chance to get back in the playoffs," Therrien added. "We have to be at our best because we're playing against a good hockey team.
"I know our team has character and that's the No. 1 reason we're here (beating Boston to get in the Eastern Conference final). We're able to prove it in the past and we have that challenge for sure again. We hope that Carey is able to play again."

Jesus Nebot, Actor, Filmmaker And Activist To Appear At Clarkson
[A photograph for newspaper use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/nebot.jpg]
October is Hispanic Heritage Month and Clarkson University will kick off its celebration with two appearances by Jesus Nebot, an internationally known actor and filmmaker. Nebot will present his critically acclaimed film NO TURNING BACK and a multicultural workshop, "Key Principles to Harmonious Living in a Multicultural Society." The film will be shown at 7 p.m., Thursday, October 6 in the Cheel Commons. Nebot will conduct the workshop at 7 p.m., Friday, October 7 in the Barben rooms of Clarkson's Cheel Campus Center.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in Madrid, Spain and the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York, Jesus has starred in a number of popular television series in Spain and Latin America. He moved to the United States in 1999 and founded Zokalo Entertainment, an independent production company, based in Santa Monica, California.
According to Nebot, Zokalo's goal is multifold, "Zokalo aims to produce original and fresh films that will intrigue all audiences and being Latin-based, is in a prime position to address the film needs of the growing Latino population in America and Latin America."
Demonstrating the breadth of his talent, Nebot wrote, directed, produced and stars in No Turning Back, a film depicting the devastating journey of an illegal Honduran immigrant and his young daughter as they flee from American authorities. This feature film, based on actual events about Latino immigration, has received twenty-one international awards, including the ALMA Award for Outstanding Independent Motion Picture - the most prestigious award for any Latino production shot in the United States.
In his workshop, "Key Principles to Harmonious Living In A Multicultural Society", Nebot will explore how we can overcome prejudice toward people who are different from ourselves. Participants will engage in exercises to experience first-hand how one can embrace and understand the beauty of other cultures.
Jesus Nebot's appearance is sponsored by Clarkson University's Office of Co-Curricular Education, SPECTRUM and SHPE. The film and workshop are free and open to the community.

Shaker Swing-handle Carrier
Oval boxes with handles were traditionally used as sewing baskets.
By John Wilson
Pages: 48-53

The craftsmen of the Shaker community were known in their day for quality workmanship of utilitarian designs. This project represents one of their adaptations of the oval box in a size commonly referred to today as a #4. (See Popular Woodworking August 2003, #135; it's also available online at ShakerOvalBox.com.)
During the period from the 1890s to the 1930s, large quantities of carriers were made and sold in the Shakers' "fancy goods trade," or what we would call a craft or gift store. Such carriers, which they called "work baskets," were lined with satin and fitted with sewing items including a pincushion, needle holder, beeswax for waxing button thread, and an emery ball for sharpening pins and needles. One famous photograph taken at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in 1923 shows Brother Delmer Wilson and his output of 1,083 carriers.
For more information on fitting the inside of the carrier as a sewing box, send an e-mail to Dave Coleman at firstname.lastname@example.com

When we were young, radio was a blessing, something one turned on to find a smile, a comforting shoulder, or just a nifty tune that made the world shine a bit brighter for a few minutes. Those days – very sadly – are largely past with the commercial radio programming of today, but we at Dirty Impound like to conjecture what a better radio world might sound like. Our fifth installment in this daydream offers Beatles covers, Richard Thompson tackling a Squeeze hit, fresh new talent right at the top, and more with ample nods to the 70s AM radio magnificence of our youth.

Sax Appeal tooted horns for just causes and just for fun
Together since freshman year, the quartet members will head in different directions after May 22 graduation
It's like Michael Jackson says in "Thriller" – they feel the creature creeping up behind them; they're almost out of time.
The four seniors, who performed the cult song on saxophone – replete with costumes, dance moves and beatboxing – at Culture X last month, graduate Sunday, May 22, after which Sax Appeal, a saxophone quartet they started during their freshman year, will no longer thrill Brandeis audiences.
"What I'm going to miss about Sax Appeal goes hand in hand with what I'm going to miss about Brandeis," says Jamie Fleishman, who instigated the band's formation. "That sense of belonging and engagement. I don't know if I'm ever going to have that experience again."
Taking a break from finals and thesis edits, the four musicians sit outside the Usdan Student Center and reminisce about their years together. They finish one another's stories, and each is quick to point out the others' strengths.
Sax Appeal was born at Einstein Brothers' Bagels. In the fall of 2007, Nevins, who plays soprano, alto and tenor sax, walked in, keeping an eye out for three guys "looking similarly confused."
Fleishman had orchestrated the meeting. Living in North that year, he had already noticed George Falk's tenor sax when he walked past his room, and was soon introduced to another neighbor, Evan Rosenberg, who played tenor sax in the wind ensemble. But Nevins, whose name came up because he played in the jazz band, lived across campus in Masell.
They had little in common besides their saxophones – with majors and minors ranging from East Asian studies to neuroscience to literature – but that proved unimportant. Rosenberg, a native of Doylestown, Pa., was the only one studying music, at least as a minor.
"If we didn't have the connection with sax, we probably wouldn't be best friends," Fleishman says.
The four freshmen held weekly rehearsals in the beginning, learning a repertoire from sheet music Fleishman had copied from his music teacher back in his hometown, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
They played their first show, a campus coffeehouse, halfway through second semester. Falk, of Chelsea, Mich., hefted a borrowed baritone saxophone from Slosberg Music Center all the way up to Chum's, where most coffeehouses are held, only to learn their show was scheduled in the Shapiro Campus Center atrium.
Sax Appeal's introduction to Brandeis on a larger scale came weeks later at the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, where they played an arrangement from "West Side Story" at the Rose Art Museum.
"It wasn't a very good arrangement," Fleishman says, with his hands upturned and head tilted. The four of them laugh, as they interrupt each other getting to the punch line.
"One doesn't generally come to college lugging a bari," but the university owns two baritone saxophones, says Nevins, an English and creative writing major, setting up the story.
"So I made off with one," Falk jokes.
There was a jazz band concert the same night and while there were two baritones, there was only one mouthpiece.
"We had to adjust on the fly again, figure out a way to make it work," says Fleishman, who majored in politics and minored in East Asian studies.
The quartet continued playing together, and by all accounts improving, through sophomore year. They no longer relied on the copied sheet music, becoming comfortable with improvisation.
"George is going to lay down a beat," Fleishman says, "and we're going to jam."
By the time they reached the halfway point in their college career, they were a household, or at least dormhold, name.
"We were just so different from what people were used to," Falk says, noting that there are about a dozen a cappella groups on campus. "As much as people like a cappella, [the groups] take themselves very seriously. We're serious about what we do, but Sax Appeal is all about fun."
There's been plenty of goofy stuff – gigs in costume, like at Culture X or a 2010 Halloween party at Ziv, where they donned Beauty and the Beast and Indiana Jones duds, among others, from the Waltham Thrift Store. There was a birthday party on campus, and plenty of coffeehouses.
But they also played charity and seminal community events from the senior gift dinner to a Chabad gala for which they learned traditional Jewish music. They've volunteered to play fundraisers for the likes of the Prospect Hill Beautification Project, with Best Buddies, for children at the Stanley School and at nursing homes.
Their popularity has been, in part, due to the diversity of their music, their abilities and the environments in which they play, according to Rosenberg.
"Some of us are better at classical, others at improv," says Rosenberg.
After four years together, Sax Appeal is at their best thanks to practice and the musical camaraderie they've built over the years. They aren't done yet. The quartet will perform during senior week and at an arts department event.
Beyond that, their collective and respective futures are uncertain.
"Who knows how hard it will be working?" Nevins says.
Fleishman interrupts, looking at Rosenberg, "You'll be in med school..."
Rosenberg, who majored in neuroscience and biology, has lined up a lab job at Children's Hospital this summer while he applies to medical school.
Fleishman will remain in Boston for the summer, working for an Asian language publisher.
Nevins is will likely return to his hometown of Framingham, or possibly give New York City a try, while working on getting published.
Falk majored in Russian literature, and will return home this summer to consider his next step. Applications to service organizations like Peace Corps or Americorps seem likely.
But as they leave Brandeis, they hope their legacy will remain.
"We hope people will remember us as a big part of the Class of 2011," Fleishman says. "And maybe we'll all come back and play at our 25th reunion."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is denouncing comments by fellow Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry comparing homosexuality to alcoholism in which people can choose to change their behavior.
Perry said earlier this week in San Francisco that people may feel "compelled to follow a particular lifestyle" but have the ability to decide not to do that.
Christie said Friday that he disagrees, saying it is not "an apt analogy and not one that should be made because I think it's wrong."
Christie is chairman of the Republican Governors Association. He appeared Friday with California Republican gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari, who also disagreed with Perry's comments.
Christie signed a state law barring so-called reparative therapy aimed at turning gay minors straight. The Texas GOP endorsed the approach last week.

Vascular disease effects the body's circulation - the arteries and veins. Everyone knows about "heart disease," but fewer know about vascular disease.
