One of my favorites in college was Standing Ovation at Newport by Herbie Mann. During Stolen Moments, Herbie introduces Chick Corea's solo by shouting, "You got it, Chick!"

Friday: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 22....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418782 Not a well-played game, but the close score kept it interesting. ***** Calgary Stampeders 34....British Columbia Lions 32 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418825 A snoozer in the first half with a huge number of dropped passes. I went to bed at halftime with the score 7-6. Wouldn't you know it, it turned out to be the best game of the weekend with a wild second half. ***** Saturday: Montreal Alouettes 39....Saskatchewan Roughriders 25 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4418956 Windy day in Regina. Montreal showed that they were the better team. Calvillo threw 5 TD passes to tie Damon Allen for first place in career TD passes. ***** Edmonton Eskimos 28....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 10 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4419006 For the second week in a row, the Eskimos looked better than expected, and the Ticats looked worse.

Thanks Larry! That was some song he chose to play for network television!

As I recall, Dick Williams played for KC in the first game my dad took me to - Kansas City Athletics vs. Washington Senators, 1959. RIP. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/hall-of-fame-manager-dick-williams-dead-at-82/article2090735/

I've just read at mobileread.com that the Amazon cloud is now unlimited (no longer 20 gig). I don't know the details of it all.

Happy Birthday 2011 Jack!

paps, I don't think that Nancy Grace is with Fox News. I think she is with CNN.

Here's an analysis of the plausibility of the defense's argument: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/07/05/why-casey-anthonys-verdict-makes-sense/

Guy, not to derail the thread, and maybe you already know this, but it is my understanding that that 9% figure means that 9% are collecting unemployment. Last week I read a reference to a website called shadowfacts.com (or something like that) that estimated that the actual unemployment rate is about 25%!!!!!

Dan, in the US the defense is not obligated to present a case. The burden is on the prosecution.

I haven't paid attention to the details, but judging by the headlines over the months, I would say that this is definitely an example of being convicted by the press, which I am opposed to.

Correct, Larry! I've been enjoying the box of the first season of Remington Steele, and I've fallen in love with Stephanie Zimbalist just like I did in 1982! It occurred to me that I've not been aware of what she's been up to for the past twenty years, so I googled a 2011 photo, and this is what I found. Today she's a lovely lady in her mid-50s, but after a steady dose of 1982 Remington Steele, it came as quite a surprise that she looks so different after 30 years. By the way, when I met her she was very charming, but more bland than Laura Holt.

I'm a terrible dancer, but what the heck, I never let that stop me! Twenty years ago when line dancing was popular I was never able to get the hang of it.

No guesses? OK, here's another hint: Her work is featured in the Bargain DVD Box thread.
