  1. In response to a Craigslist ad , the Big Ten tweeted a statement saying it is not paying fans to attend Saturday's football championship game between Michigan State & Wisconsin.

  3. very convincing----- are there units small enough to carry around to the many hot spots--restaurants, fast food joints, libraries, ymca's, malls? of course i can use the laptop, but i was thinking of something smaller, mainly with an earphone jack.
  4. there are so many lousy corporations that market fine products that i would be depriving myself...
  5. francona was right for the salty old timers on the red sox. the abrasive valentine is guaranteed to evoke sparks. it will be interesting to see how he takes to their sabermetrics.
  6. Me too, faster,no lock ups and for the most part easier to use once you get used to it than IE. chrome lover, here, for perhaps 2 years. for an even better chrome experience, i suggest downloading chrome's developmental version called canary. i dabble briefly with firefox, explorer, opera, and safari. note that canary runs alongside google chrome; it is not a chrome replacement. google chrome canary
  7. there are a number of splendid stouts available to drinkers in the u.s. now. southern tier and brooklyn, new york brewers, craft some remarkable stouts and porters. southern tier may be my fav. I've seen the Brooklyn. I have to give it a try. brooklyn is wonderfully lowpriced for the quality. southern tier is very pricey, but well worth the money. i would suggest that the really dark stouts are better enjoyed from bottles. the malt experience, for me, doesn't translate to the tap as well as from bottle aging.
  8. 8:30 PM Congress & President Obama have passed & signed a bill allowing horse slaughter plants to re-open in the United States . The last horse slaughter plant in the U.S. was shut down in 2007.

  11. thanks, johnny, for relating your family's very personal, troubling, experiences with bill.
  12. with dark stouts like expedition, one is always better than 2 or 3, and i had 1 today. i hope you enjoyed the spector of the CO2 truck leaving the tap house just as i came in.
  13. did someone mention quail?

  17. relaying here items found on twitter related to jazz, breaking news, jazz, upcoming jazz, politics, photos, tales of the unusual has the makings of a living vital thread. if folks want, a jazz twitter thread might be an option. an item on the demise of the numbers of our jazz worshipping community would seem a fair place to begin--- BillHemmer Bill Hemmer God Bless, Mama Jazz, 89. My first job in radio was running the audio board for her jazz show, playing her records. cin.ci/t2hrYC45 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply Former WMUB-FM jazz host Phyllis "Mama Jazz" Campbell, one of the most popular personalities on the Miami University station, died Saturday in Eaton, Ohio. She was 89. Mama Jazz was a WMUB-FM host for 29 years. She started as in 1979 doing a two-hour weekly show that grew into a four-hour, five-days-a-week show in 1984. The show ended in 2008, when WMUB-FM dropped jazz in favor of evening news and talk (before the station was sold in 2009 to Cincinnati Public Radio). WMUB-FM had been playing reruns since December 2006, when at age 85 she stopped doing original broadcasts due chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (which impedes air flow) and emphysema. Here's a link to our 2003 profile of Mama Jazz. "Everyone had a story and aspecial memory of Mama. Once you heard that voice, you could never forget it," recalled Cleve Callison, former WMUB-FM general manager, in a comment to the Miami University News and Public Information Office. "She was feisty as all get-out, passionately devoted to jazz and unabashedly loyal to her legions of fans. I can't think of anyone I've met in radio who has seen that kind of devotion doubled back so much as the lady simply known everywhere as Mama. The song running through my head right now is 'Hello Central, Give Me Mama Jazz,' an adaptation of the classic 'Dr. Jazz' by Dave Greer and his band, one of Mama's favorite groups." Campbell also worked in other capacities at Miami from 1967 until she retired in 1994, first in the personnel and guidance department and later as secretary to the dean of the graduate school, according to the university. She was at Miami University 60 hours a week between her day job and radio shift, the university said. She graduated from Miami-Jacobs Junior College of Business in 1941 and attended Miami University. Prior to joining the staff at Miami, she was a bookkeeper for Ashman Heating Company in Eaton. Miami's announcement today said Mama Jazz was commended by the G.H.B. (George H. Buck) Jazz Foundation in New Orleans in 1993 for preserving the music of New Orleans jazz musician George Lewis "and his living pioneers of New Orleans jazz," by locating lost masters and having them digitally transferred to compact discs. Buck said: "You turned your back on the commercial promotion department of so called jazz labels, and decided to give the art form, the true art form, a chance to be heard by the public. As a result southern Ohio has been a much richer place to live and work." Campbell is survived by, her husband William, sons; Perry of Alabama and William "Corky" of Columbus; daughters Jane Campbell Gordon of Eaton and Gail Campbell of Oxford; a brother, grandchildren and other family members. Barnes Funeral Home in Eaton says services will be held at the convenience of the family at a later date. Tags: Mama Jazz, Phyllis Campbell, WMUB-FM
  18. thanks for the tips, folks. now i know i want one!!!!!
  19. realizing that it, at home, it would be just a substitute for desktops and laptops, i so far, have held out. satellite radio doesn't interest me, nor does itunes. the increasing access of wifi hotspots suggests that it might be a good buy. i'm interested only in radios, modest in size, that would access most online stations. has anyone experience with wifi radio?
  20. how humans can navigate through that way of living is a mystery to me; one day, we may discuss how the greek gladiators had their 'boys', as well, particularly before battle.
  21. the puritans and catholics aren't necessarily to blame. that lifestyle has a possibility of working very well, and may yet again, but the clash of marketed sex with those concepts blows brains up.
  22. to me, the recent major college sports scandals involving young men, or little boys, call for some clear thinking. this is a greater problem than one would first think. from my observations, it is endemic to this culture. it is widespread and built-in. we are a puritanical culture, religiously and morally, with a taboo on sex. a lot of this comes from the catholics, but more comes from the puritans. simultaneously, this culture, since the 1920s has been sold using basic freudian psychology, promulgated by a nephew of sigmund freud's, who picked up on freud's psychology early on and sold it to a bunch of marketers. we've been sold goods with sex attached to the goods, at the same time the sex is taboo, (any kind) has been for a very long time. this creates a tremendous frustration in this society. we need to rethink the situation entirely rather than throw a bunch of law books at (a few defendants), not the real problem. a few defendants aren't the problem; that's a reaction. this society has far too much reaction and not enough response to too many problems. we don't have enough people thinking through the problems, this one in particular. this problem will never be ameliorated, the problem of adult power over kids. there will always be adults taking advantage of children. did you hear about the 9 year old boy convicted of child molestation? he is required to have his picture posted in his juristiction for the rest of his life anywhere he moves. people will be notified that he is a child molestor. at age 8 he was caught playing with a 5 year old girl. the law went way beyond its limits here and ruined a kids life. he didn't have the power and sway of a bigtime athletic coach or powerful adult figure. marvin gaye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1tN0ZKnRgs
  23. of course, i put it in the wrong place. sorry. i agree about more than the slight possibility of outside causes. sorry. weren't those virusses of a few years back designed into the iranian computers, in much the way saddam's air defense computers were compromised, and perhaps our own?
