Thanks, Lon. I was thinking about getting the Waldron last year, but Amazon was practically giving away the mp3's of much of that box. Maybe I'll spring for it this year.

HP from 2006 to 2012 sold an app called The Chubby Checker without Chubby Checker's permission. Checker is suing, claiming trademark infringement. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/16/us-hp-chubbychecker-lawsuit-idUSBRE97F0SR20130816

The Beatles' secretary Freda Kelly raised $60,000 on Kickstarter, and will release on Video on Demand a movie about her experience September 13. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/08/28/long-serving-beatles-secretary-freda-kelly-finally-breaks-her-silence/

Last year for Christmas I got the George Russell and Enrico Rava sets. Are there other sets that are not too free that would appeal to mainstream jazz fans like me?

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal reported that since 1950, there has never been an undrafted rookie quarterback who started his team's regular season opener in his first year out of college. On Monday, the Buffalo Bills announced that they plan to start undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel in their Week 1 game against New England.

Forbes Magazine says that although the Houston Astros are the worst team in the major leagues, they will this year be the most profitable in history. The Astros are expected to earn $99 million operating income this year, which is about that of the last six World Series winners combined. http://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2013/08/26/2013-houston-astros-baseballs-worst-team-is-most-profitable-in-history/

Happy Birthday kh!

Sandro DeAngelis has played the last two games, so today the Bombers released Justin Palardy. They also signed Brody McKnight, Jason Boltus and a former Jacksonville Jaguar named Mike Sims-Walker. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4619235 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=430592

Congratulations North Dakota (a surprise?) and Utah! http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/08/27/which-states-drink-most-and-least-beer/

OK, I thought you didn't respect her.

The TSN power rankings in the previous post say that the Bombers started Max Hall last week. I tuned in late, and I guess he was already out by that time. ***** Dave Naylor is reporting that the Argos will not announce until Thursday the status of Ricky Ray's injury.

Wait a second, Jimbo! Aren't you always dissing my girl Astrud for the same thing?

Maybe 20 years ago a judge in Ontario ruled that laws prohibiting women from going topless in public were unconstitutional because Ontario has an equal rights amendment, and men could go topless legally. So the Argonauts and Blue Jays promptly announced that men would not be allowed to take their shirts off at the ballgames. To my knowledge, that policy has never been enforced by either team. Now we have a television reporter revisiting the issue. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/08/26/Reporter-Goes-Topless-To-Prove-Point

Lawrence Tynes was treated late last week for a penicillin-resistant infection called MRSA. He needed toe surgery to scrape out the infection. It was Tynes' right foot. Is that his kicking foot? I think he is a left-footed kicker. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/bucs-carl-nicks-lawrence-tynes-have-mrsa-infections/2137793

dgs, Rod and Carm were speculating that this might be the best Rider team ever. I can't imagine that it would be, considering that Durant is their QB.
