On 'Frontline,' Playing the Same Old Song By Teresa Wiltz Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, May 27, 2004; Page C01 If you listen to the radio, own a remote control and a satellite dish, or have read a business page, the new Frontline documentary, "The Way the Music Died," won't be news to you. But if you stopped paying attention to pop music, oh, let's say, back in '77, have we got a primer for you. Sure, "The Way the Music Died" -- playing off a line from the Don McLean classic "American Pie" -- does a credible job illustrating the demise of the industry, from the heyday of Woodstock to the Y2K apocalypse of mass firings and bankruptcy filings. As producer-director Michael Kirk sees it, there's plenty of blame to go around: Mega-record companies such as Universal and BMG gobbling up the little guys; Internet theft from digital downloads; controlling radio behemoths like Clear Channel playing the same five songs; and let us not forget MTV, which turned music into eye candy for the pimpled masses. To bolster his case in the documentary (it airs at 9 tonight on Channel 22 and 10 p.m. on Channel 26), Kirk's got talking heads reciting scary numbers: Of the 30,000 records made in a year, only 100 or so are hits. Roughly 85 percent of all records fail. Sales in the industry have fallen from $40 billion to $28 billion in the last three years. And to keep the viewer from completely falling asleep, he's sprinkled in some actual music, with footage of artists past and present performing both in the studio and on the stage. read the article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004May26.html

Report 2004: War on global values -- attacks by armed groups and governments fuel mistrust, fear and division Press release, 26/05/2004 (London) Governments and armed groups have launched a war on global values, destroying the human rights of ordinary people, Amnesty International said today as it released its annual assessment of human rights worldwide. Launching the Amnesty International Report 2004, the organization said that violence by armed groups and increasing violations by governments have combined to produce the most sustained attack on human rights and international humanitarian law in 50 years. This was leading to a world of growing mistrust, fear and division. "Callous, cruel and criminal attacks by armed groups such as al-Qa'ida, pose a very real threat to the security of people everywhere. We condemn them in the strongest possible terms as serious crimes under international and domestic law, amounting at times to war crimes and crimes against humanity," said Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International. Amnesty International strongly condemned armed groups responsible for atrocities such as the March 11 bombing in Madrid and the bomb attack on the United Nations building in Iraq on 19 August 2003, which killed UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Sergio Vieira de Mello. It said that violent attacks on civilians and on institutions established to provide solutions to conflict and insecurity - such as the United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross - represented a significant new threat to international justice. "But it is also frightening that the principles of international law and the tools of multilateral action which could protect us from these attacks are being undermined, marginalized or destroyed by powerful governments," said Irene Khan. "Governments are losing their moral compass, sacrificing the global values of human rights in a blind pursuit of security. This failure of leadership is a dangerous concession to armed groups." "The global security agenda promoted by the US Administration is bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle. Violating rights at home, turning a blind eye to abuses abroad and using pre-emptive military force where and when it chooses has damaged justice and freedom, and made the world a more dangerous place." The report details unlawful killings of civilians by Coalition troops and armed groups in Iraq. Reports of torture and ill-treatment underline the vulnerability of hundreds of prisoners, not only in Iraq but also at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, Afghanistan and elsewhere, incarcerated by the United States and its allies without charge, trial, or access to lawyers or protection of the Geneva Conventions. "By failing to protect the rights of those who may be guilty, governments endanger the rights of those who are innocent, and put us all at risk." The "war on terror" and the war in Iraq has encouraged a new wave of human rights abuse and diverted attention from old ones. Hidden from the eyes of the world, Report 2004 documents festering internal conflicts in places like Chechnya, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and Nepal which have become a breeding ground of some of the worst atrocities. Violence in Israel and the Occupied Territories has deepened, while elsewhere many governments are openly pursuing repressive agendas. "While governments have been obsessed with the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, they have allowed the real weapons of mass destruction-- injustice and impunity, poverty, discrimination and racism, the uncontrolled trade in small arms, violence against women and abuse of children -- to go unaddressed," said Irene Khan. "The world is crying out for principled leadership based on the global values of human rights." While underlining abuse and impunity, hypocrisy and double standards of governments, Amnesty International highlighted the emerging power of civil society to turn the tide in favour of human rights. There are unequivocal signs of a global justice movement -- the millions of citizens who took to the streets around the world in solidarity with the Iraqi people, Spaniards who marched in the name of humanity after the attacks in Madrid, global citizens who gathered at the World Social Forum in Brazil. "Governments need to listen. In times of uncertainty the world needs not only fight against global threats, but to fight for global justice," said Irene Khan. Globally, despite the crusade by the United States to undermine international justice and ensure global immunity for its citizens, the International Criminal Court appointed its prosecutor and began its work in earnest. Slowly the courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have begun to scrutinise the executive power to restrict human rights. "Human rights matter because they offer a powerful and compelling vision of a better and fairer world, and a concrete plan of how to get there. These global values of justice are the most effective route to security and peace," said Irene Khan. http://news.amnesty.org/mav/index/ENGPOL100162004

I hate these things, we seem to get them alot in ohio, they look just like locusts to me, but I guess they aren't, anyone else get them in their neck of the woods? They're Baaaack! They've been lurking underground for almost two decades. Now billions of cicadas are coming out for a final, noisy farewell. Then the whole cycle starts anew By KRISTINA DELL Wednesday, May. 19, 2004 They're not locusts (which are a type of grasshopper), but for much of the Eastern U.S. this year, they're certainly a plague. Some cicadas appear almost every year, but the Brood X periodical cicada, as scientists call this variety , is the big one: the world's largest insect swarm. For the next five weeks, sidewalks will be littered with crunchy brown shells, ant treetops will be buzzing with an ear-splitting screech. Cicadas look scary with their vaguely devil-shaped heads, but they're really harmless, and some communities even look forward to their arrival. Cincinnati, Ohio, for example, is planning cicada festivals, parties and even meals. Gene Kritsky, a cicada expert, is testing out a new recipe this year, cicada chowder. But entomologist John Cooley, who studies cicadas at the University of Connecticut, won't touch it. "Seventeen years underground just to end up as someone's dinner?" he says. "They're too marvelous to waste." read the article here: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...-638434,00.html

I missed the explanation, unless it's just meant to be a little sarcastic, the eyes are pretty cool though, I'm sure this has something to do with the Patriot Act.

same here, I get a 4 day weekend from work, we'll get things done around the house, cook out on monday, and watch the memorial services from washington, I'll go to the family graves and decorate on saturday, so it's nice to be off and reflect, take time to remember family that have passed on and honor veterans that gave their lives for our democracy. churchill said it best, "never have so many owed so much to so few", hope everyone has a safe weekend and has time to relax and enjoy yourselves, no matter our opinions on politics or music I think we all get along remarkably well on beatking, thanks everyone :good job:

definitely two totally different sounds, I doubt they'd have the same fans

poco was a great band, songs like "two lane highway", "aimie" were big hits, great harmony, I found this link on graham nash's website, I never saw them live but I have a couple albums that were live, they sounded great to me.

COUNTRY ROCK "LEGEND" POCO RELEASES "RUNNING HORSE", THEIR FIRST ALL-NEW CD IN 13 YEARS by Mark Gould Poco, the band that defined country rock in the Sixties and Seventies, resulting in million selling albums and number one hit singles over a more than three decades career, announces the release of "Running Horse," their first CD in 13 years, on Drifter's Church Productions. "Poco's biggest success came with Legend, when it was just (guitarist) Paul (Cotton) and me basically making a record together, and this new record is Paul and me together again, and that's just really special for me," said Poco co-founder, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rusty Young. "This is a just a great, great record. Paul and I are really proud of it." "It's special for me, every day that I can play with Rusty," Cotton added,"This record stands as a strong testament to all of our years of playing together. It sounds so good; it's a real treat for us. We are extremely pleased with how it came out." Joining Young and Cotton, who have been playing together in Poco since 1970, are original drummer George Grantham and bassist/songwriter Jack Sundrud, who has played with the band on and off since 1985. The record is co-produced, with Young by noted Nashville session man Mike Clute, who has nurtured the sound behind such popular selling artists as Blackhawk and Diamond Rio. "Having someone like Mike work with us, with all the success he has had with those bands, really added to this for us," said Young."He's obviously got a great ear for what sounds good, and really helped us mold the Poco sound in the studio." Poco, which was originally known as "Pogo," grew out of the legendary Sixties band Buffalo Springfield, whose members included Richie Furay and Jim Messina, who, along with Young, who played on the final Springfield album, "Last Time Around," formed Poco in 1968. With its combined influences of both rock and country, Poco was a pioneer of its time. Along with Furay, Messina, Young and Grantham, the original lineup also included future Eagle Randy Meisner, who was later replaced by current Eagle Timothy B. Schmit. Cotton replaced Messina in 1970. Grantham and Schmit left the band in 1977, and Cotton and Young decided to continue Poco together, buffeted by a new English rhythm section, consisting of drummer Stephen Chapman and bassist Charlie Harrison. That quartet, later to include keyboardist Kim Bullard, recorded "Legend," a multi-platinum seller that included two hit singles, Young's "Crazy Love," which charted to number one for six weeks, and Cotton's "Heart of the Night," which was also a top 20 hit for the band. Poco released several other albums, augmented by well-received tours and shows throughout the 80s. In 1989, the original quintet reformed and released "Legacy," which included the hit "Call it Love," which was sung by Young. The band, with Young and Cotton still at the fore, continuing the momentum that resulted from "Legacy" going gold, touring throughout the Nineties and into the new Millennium, leading up to the recording of "Running Horse" during the past year in Nashville. The CD contains a rich tapestry of songs that will delight both old and new Poco fans. The opening track, Young's melancholy look at lost love,"One Tear at a Time," has been featured in Poco's live show for some time. His other contributions include "If Your Hear Needs a Hand;" "Forever," featuring guitar work from Bill Lloyd, formerly of Foster & Lloyd; "If You Can't Stand to Lose," co-written with former New Grass Revival lead singer John Cowan; and "That's What Love's All About," co-authored with Pure Prairie League lead singer Craig Fuller. In addition to the title track, which offers a heartfelt look at Poco's rich tradition and history, updating his earlier "Livin' in The Band," from 1976's "Indian Summer," Cotton follows with "Everytime I Hear that Train," and "I Can Only Imagine," showcasing his trademark Western imagery. Sundrud also contributes three songs, "Never Loved ... Never Hurt Like This," "Never Get Enough," co-written with Nashville songwriters Craig Bickhardt and David James," and "Shake It," an eclectic group of songs that fit comfortably into Poco's wide-ranging, musical repetoire. Throughout, Young's guitar, steel guitar, slide guitar, lap steel, banjo and mandolin combines with Cotton's stinging lead guitar, along with the rock steady rhythm section of Grantham and Sundrud, whose background harmonies showcase the trademark vocals that have been a mainstay of Poco's music throughout the years. The advance release of "Running Horse" will coincide with the launch of their "Official Web Site: www.poconut.com. http://www.poconut.com/#

ok, I'm not going to say anything about Polish archaeologists finding this :rolleyes: j/k

there wasn't much information, just a short article, how horrible, it's terrible enough to see this happen in Iraq, but Baltimore? Three children found decapitated in apartment Thursday, May 27, 2004 Posted: 8:18 PM EDT (0018 GMT) BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) -- Three young children were found decapitated Thursday in an apartment in northwest Baltimore, police said. The children's mother found their bodies when she arrived home late Thursday afternoon, police spokeswoman Nicole Monroe said. The children were all under the age of 10, Monroe said. The mother, who speaks little English, notified a neighbor, who called 911. Homicide detectives were questioning a man Monroe said was "a person of interest." http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/05/27/chi...n.ap/index.html

and it was lousy again this past yr. , great game though, but that was lost in all this jazz about the halftime.

yeah it's being used by a program method, internet explorer! sheesh, I think this has been a subject on the symantec site, they give details on how to remove it.

Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl halftime show may be a lot of things, but it's apparently not worth $5,000. A judge didn't buy a Farmington lawyer's claim that CBS Television owner Viacom should pay him $5,000 for having to see Jackson's bare breast during the Feb. 1 show. Eric Stephenson had sued Viacom for false advertising in small-claims court. Stephenson claimed he was led to believe this year's Super Bowl halftime show would be a family oriented, patriotic celebration. read the article here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2004-0...htm?POE=LIFISVA

that IS neglect.

that just amazes me, my daughter's 16, I still look to see where she is in the water, just out of habit, if this poor child fell in, it's sad no one started looking for him for 2 hours, I remember I really didn't relax til my child was in bed, then I knew I didn't have to keep checking on her. there's good parents and there's bad parents. "teach your children well" csn&y ;)

Relief teams scramble as Caribbean flood toll grows 27 May 2004 21:01:43 GMT By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, May 27 (Reuters) - Rescue workers rushed beans and rice, drinking water, chlorine tablets and first-aid kits on Thursday to a remote Haitian town submerged by floods that killed an estimated 2,000 people on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. Across the border in the Dominican Republic, authorities prepared for an aerial fumigation to prevent disease in hard-hit Jimani, a town where flood waters crashed through in the night and killed hundreds of men, women and children, dumping some of their bodies into a lake full of crocodiles. read the article here: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N27149424.htm

ok, same thing here assassin, the same thing happened to me, it was a temp file in the windows folder, kept coming up on my anti-virus, just make sure your anti-virus is updated, mine has been updating daily, because eventually it stopped right before I thought I might have to look at some sites for an answer. I was running adaware too so that didn't catch it, cuz adaware hardly ever updates.

I'm not suggesting you do this actually, I don't know what windows you have, I have 98 so I can't, but if you have ME or XP this might help, I found out that some suspicious files that are detected on your anti-virus keep getting deleted and then come back because there's another matching file in your backup, if you have the editions I mentioned and you go to "my computer", properties, performance, you'll see where you can disable the backup while you delete the file or run your scan again, you just have to remember to go back and enable again. don't know if that will help but just thought I'd mention it. :D
