Stuart Matsikenyeri (captain), Trevor Garwe, Friday Kasteni, Tafadzwa Kamungozi, Blessing Mahwire, Admire Manyumwa, Timycen Maruma, Tinotenda Mawoyo, Bonaparte Mujuru, Forster Mutizwa (wicketkeeper), Stephen Nyamuzinga, Edward Rainsford and Prosper Tsvanhu.
Maruma and Matiskenyeri drop down from the national side, Cremer is missing as he's been promoted to the Chevrons. Tino Mawoyo is relieved of 'keeper duties to concentrate on his batting. Personally, I would have kept Mawhire as captain as he's done a decent job in the role, but them's the breaks.
I'm glad to see that Ed Rainsford is in the squad, whatever the reason was for his only bowling 9 overs in the Griqualand game is obviously not serious. Not sure about Regis Chakabva, while it will be good experience for him playing in the MTN series, I would rather see him in those games after this SAA fixture has been played as another 3 day game would be better for his cricketing education.
Where does Terry Duffin go now ?, after his recent run of low scores he is certainly going to be scratching around for games to get his confidence back, is this the end of representative cricket for him ??
I must say that I agree with maehara regarding the captaincy, Mahwire seems to have done a pretty good job and a change to Matsikeyeri is just fiddling around for the sake of it, he would be better left to concentrate on scoring some runs.
Overall this squad appears to be very short of batsmen, Mawoyo, Mujuru, Kasteni, Matsikenyeri & Nyamuzinga and very heavy on seamers, Manyumwa, Mahwire, Garwe, Rainsford & Tsvanhu. I guess it will be a choice of one from Maruma and Kamungozi with Mutizwa keeping. The loss of Chakabva gives this squad a very unbalanced look to me.

I would prefer Chakabva in the SAA squad to be honest, but if he can forge a career in the national team so young, then good on him. I just feel it will be damaging if he doesn't do well, at least in this competition he is doing well, getting more experience, etc, etc. The way I see it, we finally have a decent first eleven, we don't need to blood inexperienced youngsters like we've had to in the past.
Having said that, if we were to pick a Zimbabwe XI based purely on form right now, Regis Chakabva would be in it. IMO he is playing better than Chibhabha and Dabengwa and Matsikenyeri. From that perspective, it would be great if he could secure a spot in the team (a 50 would do it in the short term) and then play some ODI's and, here's hoping, our first Test back. Wouldn't that be an incredible journey.
I don't see us winning this match without Chakabva, he is the rock in the middle order. As for Matsikenyeri, I'm not really sure why he is captain. As Train Driver said, it just seems like fiddling with the order for the sake of it.

I assume he'll get his chance to make an impression again in the Faithwear series and Logan Cup - if his run of poor form continues through them, then yes, we'll probably have seen the last of him. Hopefully not, though - he's shown before that he has the temperament & talent for long-form cricket, he just needs a decent run to give him his confidence back.

An interesting gamble would be to throw him in as opener in our first Test back. Zimbabweans have a tendency to perform on the big stage and fail on the small stage. An example I've given before is beating Australia in a Twenty20 and losing to the Eagles, and no doubt, we will lose quite a few more in the upcoming Pro20 competition (small stage).
Its nice to see Kamungozi in the line up i think he is a great spiner, although his fielding is not up to scratch. Chakabva will be missed but overally i think its a good side, lets hope Matsikenyeri stays in that team for a long time because he is just not national team material. There is a danger of exposing Chakabva this early but it will be wrong not to reward sum1 who is doing well cuz he might just carry on the momentum at the big stage.
Kasteni marked his return with a good performance and it will be nice for him to get a few matches under his belt before he plays for the national side again. Where on earth is Alistar Maregwede?
Are the selectors trying to sooth matsi's bruised ego by giving him a tokenistic captaincy....There There you werent good enough for the national team...We'll make it up to ya buddy....As the most experienced player who has yet to justify his obvious talent you can be captain.
Nothing wrong with mahwire to me...If anything people like mahwire and masacadza are the most aggressive of players which zim need as captains.
Going to the national team for a second, Masakadza is more suited to the captaincy I think. Being comfortable with the media is a very important part of being captain - if you are comfortable speaking to the media, then you'll probably be good speaking to and revving up your teammates. When Prosper Utseya speaks to the media he speaks softly because he is quite shy, and I have difficulty understanding what he is saying.
Masakadza on the other hand, is a very strong speaker, and quite obviously very fluent in English. I saw a Youtube video he did a while ago, which was very well spoken. In the post-match interviews in the Pakistan series, he was very comfortable and often shared a laugh with the interviewer. I also liked his sign off, he said whatever the Pakistani equivalent of "Thank you Pakistan" was. I thought that was a really nice touch, he would have taken the time to find out what it meant. It speaks volumes for his character that he would do it. I get the feeling he would be a great bloke to have a beer with.

When the Keyboard Won't Wait, an Instant Score
By NANCY BETH JACKSON JULY 15, 2004
IN concert, Mark Zeltser's fingers seem to defy the laws of physics, attacking the piano keyboard with such speed and energy that they become a blur. A critic for Le Figaro in Paris once wrote: ''Zeltser's hands are as powerful as a steelworker's, while his fingers have the brilliant agility of butterflies.''
The Soviet-born pianist has put those fingers to work on a different kind of keyboard, and not to make music. His stated goal is to offer, by Internet-connected computer, every classical note ever written. ''Virtually every note,'' he hedged, pleased with his play on words as he described his new Web site, everynote.com, which offers sheet music for more than 4,000 compositions for piano and violin by 160 composers.
''As a professional musician, I can assure you that we have at least 99 percent of major composers' works'' for piano and virtually all for violin, he said, not to mention obscure pieces and composers. Bramwell Tovey, music director of the Vancouver Symphony and Luxembourg Philharmonic, was surprised to find works of the lesser-known Moritz Moszkowski as well as giants like Mozart.
Mr. Zeltser, who holds a doctorate from the Moscow State Conservatory, started up the site this spring with piano literature and added a violin section last month after waiting more than a decade for the technology to catch up with a brainstorm he had on a six-week tour in Australia. On that trip, the smaller of two suitcases contained his wardrobe; the big, heavy suitcase was filled with his music. He began to dream of classical sheet music instantly available anywhere in the world.
''I seriously went to work on the idea, but the idea was ahead of the technology,'' he said, remembering hard drives as bulky as his suitcase full of scores, and scanners that lacked the resolution needed for printouts in which a speck can change the tempo.
After marrying a Russian computer programmer, Mr. Zeltser realized almost four years ago that the technology had become available to create a niche site for professional musicians and master teachers like himself. He and his wife, Violetta, began building the site in a bedroom in their apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
They followed his original concept of scanning in classical sheet music and allowing the first page to be viewed before being purchased and printed out. Unlike some sites with sheet music, Everynote requires no special software beyond Adobe Reader 5.0 or later. Russian immigrants in Brooklyn designed the site, but Mr. Zeltser selected every entry; most are accompanied by a brief biography of the composer.
Copyright was the least of the challenges he faced. Most of the works played by concert artists like Mr. Zeltser are in the public domain, which under American law includes editions published before 1923, among them works by ''modern'' composers like Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Bartók as well as the familiar Bach, Beethoven, Grieg, Liszt and Mozart.
''Naturally, 95 percent of our library consists of the works created in the 18th and 19th centuries,'' he said. ''The difficult part was to find publications before 1923 in good condition.''
The quest for complete and clean scores suitable for scanning took him to public libraries in New York, Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he also maintains a home. The New York collection was bigger than those in the other cities but showed the wear and tear of frequent use and often required tracking down two or three copies to achieve one digital version. In Los Angeles he found 19th-century sheet music that looked as though it had been ''printed yesterday.'' In Fort Lauderdale he discovered an 1876 edition of Beethoven's Bagatelles that appeared brand-new.
How such sheet music arrived in Fort Lauderdale, a city not incorporated until 1911, puzzled Mr. Zeltser. ''Instead of throwing out the music, perhaps someone gave it to the library,'' he said.
About 30 percent of the music on the site comes from European sources, particularly the former Soviet Union, where the Stalinist era left an unexpected legacy for musicians. Even small towns of 20,000 inhabitants, he said, were required to maintain musical libraries equal to what could be found in Moscow. He discovered a trove of untouched scores and transcriptions by legendary Russian musicians.
He arranged for the music to be photocopied and shipped to him by weight rather than by the piece. ''Sometimes we would get 40 kilos, because the people there didn't know music,'' he said.
Having been a child prodigy in mathematics and music and winner of international prizes like the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud Competition in Paris, Mr. Zeltser needed no help in evaluating the scores, although his mother, Bertha, a concert pianist and daughter of a concert violinist, did make space in her East Side apartment for a sophisticated scanner. His daughter, Elizabeth, a violinist in the New York Philharmonic, consulted on the violin section.
Mr. Zeltser has kept his personal life private. The Everynote site says only that professional musicians created it. His own site, markzeltser.com, has a discreet Everynote icon under a column of his record album covers, which include the Beethoven concerto for piano, violin, cello and orchestra with Anne-Sophie Mutter, Yo-Yo Ma and Herbert von Karajan, who introduced Mr. Zeltser to the West in the late 1970's.
Today, at age 56, he spends the concert season on tour: this fall he will travel to Europe, Latin America, Japan and Korea after performing next month with his daughter at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York. He is also recording works of Prokofiev with the Moscow Symphony.
He makes time for Everynote, he said, because he wants classical sheet music to be more widely available and affordable, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to make money, particularly since he has invested $300,000 in the project. He hopes to attract buyers through his pricing: mostly under $5, for music that might cost 3 to 10 times as much elsewhere.
Mr. Zeltser does seem to have struck a chord with fellow musicians. Glenn Dicterow, concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic and a faculty member at the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music, likened the site to an online music store like Apple's iTunes in its immediate gratification. ''If the teacher wants a student play a Beethoven sonata, the student can get started right away without having to go somewhere to fetch it,'' he said.
Furthermore, he said, students cannot use the excuse that music is unavailable, nor must they rely on library copies marked up by someone else.
And not only the more advanced students are affected. Lisa Muratore, a Dallas piano teacher who teaches children under age 10, had no idea who was behind Everynote when she replied to a promotional e-mail message by writing: ''This is a piano teacher's dream. Now we don't have to buy an entire book just to get one piece.''
Mr. Zeltser plans to introduce other instruments, voice, chamber music, orchestral works and new composers as fast as he can scan. Bowing to requests from site visitors, he will add the classical guitar next, although he he was surprised to find that the classical guitar seems more popular than the flute.
So far responses have come mostly from people in the United States, Western Europe and Japan, but he has also received inquiries from China, Vietnam and Bulgaria. Technology has caught up with his ideas, but not e-commerce. Many of the musicians who crave classical sheet music use the Internet. They just don't have credit cards.
Bulging Archives
In addition to Everynote, there are at least three other extensive online sources of digital sheet music: musicnotes.com, sheetmusicdirect.com and sunhawk.com.
The sites offer digital and mail order sheet music across a broad variety of genres and instruments.
Sheet Music Direct is a partnership between two major music publishing groups, the Hal Leonard Corporation in the United States and Music Sales in Britain, and advertises 10,000 digital titles. Musicnotes, based in Madison, Wis., claims 20,000. Sunhawk, begun by Seattle software developers, offers 30,000.
Not all titles are available at all sites, but as an example, Debussy's ''Clair de Lune'' costs $1.49 at Everynote, $1.95 at Sheet Music Direct and $4.95 at Musicnotes and Sunhawk. Nancy Beth Jackson

Check the health of the endpoint's WMI Repository, and repair it if it is corrupted. See the Discover if the WMI Repository is corrupted section of this article for more information.
The Datto RMM Agent imports information about an endpoint by querying the host device's Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Occasionally, the WMI can become corrupted and become unreadable. This affects the audit information that the Datto RMM Agent can gather and send to the platform.
There are many ways to check for WMI corruption. This process focuses on evaluating parts of the WMI that the Agent uses to retrieve audit information.
If you see any of the above-listed error messages, proceed to the Attempt to fix the WMI Repository section of this article.
1. Run the following script to re-register all DLL files and recompile .MOF files in the C:\Windows\System32\Wbem folder on the endpoint.
You can save this script as a .BAT file and run it locally on the endpoint, from an elevated Windows Command Prompt session, or from the Desktop as an Administrator. You can also run it from the remote Agent shell or deploy it via a component.

If all other troubleshooting described in this article has failed to resolve the issue, you can perform the following procedure to rebuild your WMI repository. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
If you suspect WMI or repository corruption, rebuilding the repository is the last thing you should do. Deleting and rebuilding the repository can cause damage to the system or to installed applications. Other steps should be taken first to eliminate other possibilities or to confirm you have repository corruption. An extremely large repository also creates problems and can sometimes be interpreted as a corrupt repository, which is not always the case. If issues are due to a large repository, rebuilding it is currently the only method available to reduce its size.
If this process fails to re-add any .MOF files, some installed programs on your endpoint may stop working and require reinstallation. Consider your options carefully before continuing.

Nearly three years after the amicable breakup of his former group Little Texas, vocalist Tim Rushlow has released his self-titled debut album as a solo artist. The first single, "She Misses Him," was a Top 15 hit on Billboard's country singles and tracks chart. The song's subject, about a devoted wife caring for a husband with Alzheimer's disease, has touched hearts across the nation. On his bus near Daytona Beach, Fla., Rushlow called country.com to answer questions submitted by country fans. He talked about Little Texas, about his new image and about a humorous song he threw into a set on the spur of the moment at a recent performance in Ventura, Calif.
1. So many great singers like yourself leave successful groups and start out on their own. I've often wondered just what makes them reach that decision?
For me and Little Texas, it was never a decision that I chose to make. We collectively decided to lay it down. We ended amicably and we are friends. The decision was mutual. I'm not the "singer that left the band." We just decided, unless the six of us wanted to play music, we would no longer have a Little Texas, which was a very mature decision. It was sort of like we built this mountain called Little Texas and we were able to walk away from that mountain and leave it intact. Because of that, radio has been able to embrace those songs still. Listeners still call and request them. In all honesty, too, I have a much better shot at a solo career because there's no dirt in the past. The band didn't blow up.
2. Was this album hard to make without Little Texas, or did you find it a better experience being on your own?
Doing a record with Little Texas and doing a record on my own are two different animals. In Little Texas we played everything ourselves and we wrote everything ourselves. It was all done by us, and sometimes we weren't as quick as studio musicians could be. So, it might have taken us longer. But I was very proud of everything we did in the band because we were self-contained, truly, in the studio and live.
Doing a record on my own was a very freeing experience because A) I took the time to write and find the right songs that I felt good about, B) I was able to use a dream team of musicians, and then C) I didn't have to make my pistons fit the Little Texas machine. I was able to sort of let myself fly and be me totally instead of making my voice just an instrument that fit a group that was successful — which I had no problem with. It just was a lot less constricting.
3. What is the scariest thing about pursuing a solo career?
I choose to not have a lot of fear about it. That's one of the reasons that it's working. There's a fine line between cocky and confident, and I don't ever want to be cocky. Kick me if I am. I choose to be confident that it's going to work and confident that I'm going to have fun doing it. If I didn't, I wouldn't do it. So for me there really hasn't been anything scary about it. I guess if I had to pick something to say, where I had to literally answer that, it would just be sink or swim, it's your own rear end on the line.
4. What is the best thing about pursuing a solo career?
Again, I think it's just having the freedom to be who you are as an artist and a person. Stand with that and be proud of that.
5. Your look has totally changed since going solo. Is that so you can distance yourself from being in a group?
No, not whatsoever. I think it's just called evolving. Obviously, back in the group we had a sort of a different image than I have now. When I went home, when the group finally ended, the first thing I did was unpack my suitcase. It had never been unpacked. I really worked on my relationship with my wife and my daughter and becoming just a part of the house again, which was something I haven't been doing consistently at all. At that point for me the look just became a part of what I wanted to do. I realized I wanted to make every angle of what I do 100 percent. So, I cut my hair, I lost some weight. In reality, I think that some of the image that I might have had in Little Texas was pretty dated, so I simply wanted to grow up a little bit and take my image to another place, not to distance myself from the band, because I'm proud of everything we did. I just wanted to become something more of what Tim is and not something that I was before.
6. Are you still friends with your former band members?
Yes. I talk to everybody in the group pretty frequently. Everybody's doing well. They are pursuing what they want to do, which was writing songs or pursuing a business outside of music. I've talked to five of them in the last two weeks as a matter of fact.
7. Is anyone else from Little Texas going to venture out on their own in a music career? What are the other band members up to?
Probably, yes. They all love music as do I, and they all love to sing and write and do what they do. Our drummer, Del [Gray], is a great writer, and Porter Howell and Dwayne O'Brien are all writers. Duane Propes has been out on the road with Tim McGraw doing some work for Curb Records relations. Jeff Huskins has a personal fitness studio that he runs and it's doing extremely well. Everybody is doing what they love to do. At any given time any of them could hop back in headfirst in the music industry. Whether they are now or not, they definitely have that possibility of doing that at any given time.
8. Do you think there will ever be a reunion of Little Texas?
I don't see one. I'm not saying there probably couldn't be one, but if there was one it would probably be in my garage [laughs]. That's not out of the realm of possibility. The way I look at that is that we played our last show two and a half years ago. To me, that's just not that long. I've taken this time off to regroup and really figure out how to cut the best record I'm capable of cutting on my own. So for me, I'm really looking forward to doing this project and being a solo artist for quite some time. I don't see a reunion in the near future at all.
9. We are a nursing class studying geriatrics. I thought "She Misses Him" would be an extremely appropriate song to use for a demonstration. Where did the song originate and does it have any personal significance for you?
It didn't have any personal significance to me other than the fact that it really touched me. Until I recorded it and heard it on the radio, I started to get e-mails, cards and letters and phone calls from people. Then it started to do something to me personally. The song was written by Tim Johnson. He watched the relationship between his wife's grandparents and wrote the song off of that and the unconditional love affair he saw, which is a real beautiful story. When it's 'for better or for worse' and worse rolls around, it's pretty beautiful to see what someone who loves you will do for you. I think that's really where he wrote the song from, and I just tried to give the song the dignity and emotion that it needed to live, and basically stay out of its way. I'm very proud of the song, and I definitely think it would be a great song for anybody that's a caregiver.
10. We love "She Misses Him," but why was the video changed from using the Reagans? It meant a lot when they were on the video because they are people we can relate to and know it's a true story for them.
I think that Ronald Reagan became one of the faces for Alzheimer's because he obviously is one of the most famous patients that was willing to be heroic enough to come forward and tell what he had. Of course when we first heard it, that was what we thought of. We contacted the Reagans and we got a green light from them to explore shooting a video using footage from them. We shot the video using footage that we'd acquired from the Smithsonian and the Ronald Reagan Library. We finished the video and submitted it to CMT at the same time we submitted it to the Reagan family. Six days after it had started to air, the Reagans' chief of staff sent a letter to Atlantic Records and to me. It was very nice. It said, 'the President and Mrs. Reagan are very honored by your tribute and they are enjoying listening to the song very much; however at this time, realizing that this footage, for the video is public domain footage, they respectfully request that you change the video without their likeness. So, what this really boils down to is that when it's public domain footage somebody could take that footage off of the video that we have and throw it on a Web site and it would be legal. They really didn't want that, nor would we. We did the video in the first place out of honor and respect for them, and in honor and respect for them, we pulled the video and re-shot it using a couple in Nashville instead. I really think that makes it more poignant. I didn't think it would at first, but after I saw the video finished the second time, I realized that it was much more relatable to people because you can picture anybody in your family there instead of it just being the Reagans.
11. You wrote "The Package." Does that song have any special meaning in your life or for any member of your family? Was it based on personal experience?
"The Package" is a song that I really consider a divine gift. When I wrote "The Package" I literally woke up at two o'clock in the morning. I went downstairs and made a pot of coffee and really felt like I got woke up to write this song. There's all kinds of tidbits that came from different things in my life. I guess the theme of the song being that you have a gentleman that couldn't be at home for a lot of key events in this family's life, I surely could relate to that, having been on the road with Little Texas a lot. But, I really wanted to write a song that spanned a 50-year marriage that could showcase how everybody's got a different way of saying 'I love you.' Some guys don't say 'I love you.' They just take care of their family in other ways. So, this guy would let his wife know by sending her something in the mail. There's a lot of key things in the song that are personal. It's not really a story that I've been through. I just simply kind of got creative and really felt like I got woke up and got together with God and wrote a song.
12. In the credits on the CD jacket, you say "Special thanks to J. Walter Thompson and Ford Motor Company." Why is that, and what did they do to help you along the way?
J. Walter Thompson is the ad agency that works for Ford Motor Company and handles all of their advertising. They called me up a couple of years ago and hunted me down and asked me to do some radio and TV spots for Ford in a five-state area, which I did. They loved it. As of right now, we're working on some national stuff for Ford for me to possibly be a national spokesman for them in some form. They've been very good and very helpful and encouraging on my solo project, but also for me as an artist and my image, in ways that I may be able to help Ford and they may be able to help me. They're a wonderful, huge corporation that's embraced me as an artist, and that's why they got a 'thank you' on the record.
13. Who are you going to tour with this coming year?
I'm going to be going out with Metallica and Megadeth [laughs]. I'm not sure. I'm in a unique position because I was in a group and I'm a singer who has a greatest hits arsenal in his background. But yet, I'm a new artist. So, it's kind of a weird place. I'm definitely a solo artist who is doing his own thing, and most solo artists in my position, they've got their one hit. The one hit is doing well and that's what they do. But, I've got this Greatest Hits package behind me and I've got a great band picked out. We've got a really lethal show. It's a lot of fun. We can't just go out and open for anybody. It's a unique situation. So, I'm not really sure what we're going to do. My agency, all the way over to Atlantic Records, everybody, is kind of sitting back and we're waiting. I will start working, officially touring at the end of April or May. We'll be hitting the road pretty hard. Most of what I'm doing now are some radio shows. I'm doing listener appreciation shows for radio stations. That's a lot of fun, too. Those are warm-up shows for when we officially start touring. I will be out there. As for who … there's a couple of things brewing, but I really can't say anything about 'em yet.
14. We saw you in Ventura, Calif. Did you write the funny song you sang, "I Lobster and Never Flounder"? How did that song come to be performed by you?
I'm a big fan of funny songs. Pinkard and Bowden recorded "I Lobster and Never Flounder." It's just a great cute song that I had heard them do years ago. We used to listen to them a lot in Little Texas. I was there and the crowd was kind of funny and it was real intimate and it was just me and a guitar, so I thought well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and play something funny. I didn't know if I could get through it because I hadn't played it ever. So, I played it and the place just thought it was hilarious. They started asking me, 'Is it on your album?' It probably should be after hearing the audience laugh like that.
15. Who influenced you the most in music?
I've got a mosh-posh of people that have influenced me. My mother sings country and my dad sang rock 'n' roll. They'd be first on the list. Behind that, my dad's record collection, everything from Buck Owens to Buddy Holly would be a good start. I'm probably the only 33-year-old guy that listened to an eclectic group of oldies records early on … some country and some '50s. Moving forward to when I was really influenced about what I ended up doing for a career, which I consider contemporary country music, my influences are exactly what I think I'm doing today: Gary Morris, Ronnie Milsap, Steve Wariner, Larry Gatlin. All of those artists were in their day, the contemporary country artists. They weren't the hat-and-belt-buckle traditional artists. They were very contemporary. I think that I'm just doing a version of what they taught me when I was growing up.
16. When do you first remember singing in front of someone?
I've had drumsticks in my hands my whole life. I've always been playing. My grandmother's garage was the central point where everything happened. We've always had music going on, so I don't think there's ever a time I remember playing in front of anybody for the first time because I think I've just always done it.
17. I understand that you worked in one of the shows at Six Flags Over Texas. What show were you in and what years did you work there? I've got a feeling my family saw you perform there.
I was at Six Flags Over Texas in 1984. I was a sophomore or junior in high school. I did a show at the Crazy Horse Saloon, it was a country show there. It was a lot of fun. It was called 'Gonna Have a Party' or something like that. I learned a lot. Along the way in your career, you have different steps that you take. I call them stepping stones. Working at Six Flags was definitely one of them. You had to learn stamina because we did six or seven shows a day, six days a week, and it was a lot of work.
I live in Nashville, Tenn. I've been in Nashville on and off since '86.
19. Where is your favorite place to relax and get away from it all?
First place to relax, because I've been so busy right now, is on the couch with my wife [Mary Jane] on one side and my daughter [Bailey, 5] on the other snuggled up watching a movie. Second place would be camping with a nice cold-water stream close by for me to go out and fly fish and just hear nothing but what nature has for me to hear.
20. When will your fan club and web site be up and running?
Fan club is up and running through my Aunt Linda which you can reach either through the old Little Texas Web site or through the Tim Rushlow Web site that's already up and running. The fan club is called the Rush Club [P.O. Box 1511, Southgate, MI 48195-9998] and you can find me through there, too.


Jessie Vargas is a talented boxer, no doubt, but unfortunately the hype around him has been magnified by a master of the media machine - Floyd Mayweather. Money Mayweather sees something in Vargas and wants to guide him to the top,and Mayweather's method of doing this is to talk rubbish about the young fighter. You might remember months ago that Floyd Mayweather said he wasn't interested in a fight with Amir Khan - he felt Khan needed to get past his underling Vargas first.
That is obviously preposterous, but we can't blame Vargas for that. The twenty-two year old, unbeaten in eighteen fights, gets a chance to prove what he is made of next Saturday when he faces veteran Steve Forbes. Along with Alvarez - Mosley, a match between Jessie Vargas and Steve Forbes is a draw of the Mayweather-Cotto undercard.
Forbes, 35, used to be a world title contender (he lost a WBC welterweight fight to Andre Berto), but with the advancing years he has lost his way. His record in his last ten fights makes sorry reading - three wins and seven losses. Once upon a time, he would have been a challenge for Vargas. Now I fear he is just a step over.
Jessie Vargas won't get a ton of credit for a win over Forbes, but he can at least show people that he does his talking in the ring. If he can score a convincing win, an early-round knockout maybe, it would go someway to proving his talent, but he will still have a lot more to do.

THE MAP THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
Simon Winchester, , read by the author. . HarperAudio, $34.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-694-52271-2
As he did in The Professor and the Madman, Winchester chooses an obscure historical character who is inherently fascinating, but whose life and work have also had a strong impact on civilization. Here is William Smith, the orphan son of a village blacksmith, with lots of pluck and little luck—until the end of his life when this pioneering first geological cartographer of the world beneath our feet was finally and fully recognized. Smith's life illustrates the interconnectedness of early 19th-century science, the industrial revolution, an intellectual climate that permits a look beyond religious dogma, and the class biases that endlessly impede his finances and fortunes. Published in 1815, Smith's huge and beautiful map of geological strata and the fossils imbedded in them blazed the way for Darwin and the creation-vs.-evolution debates that rage even day. Winchester is a fine stylist who also has a fine, clear reading voice. He fully engages listeners, not only with the excitement of Smith's life and work, but even with geological explications that would have been pretty dull in science class. Simultaneous release with HarperCollins hardcover (Forecasts, June 4). (Aug.)

California raises standard required for use of deadly police force
By: CNN Wire
California's Democratic governor on Monday approved one of the the strictest police deadly force measures in the country, which says officers in the state can only use lethal force if it would prevent a suspect from killing or harming the officer or another person.
State law previously allowed the use of extreme force when attempting to arrest someone or prevent them from escaping. The law comes as Democratic and progressive lawmakers and activists in the state look for ways to rein in police following the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in Sacramento last year.
"(The legislation is) important because we can't accept the status quo. The idea that over 100 people — 162 people in 2017 — were killed in police shootings in the state of California is unacceptable. It's not good for law enforcement and it's certainly not good for individuals in the communities that have been disproportionately impacted," Gov. Gavin Newsom told CNN's Van Jones in an interview that aired on "Newsroom."
"I just can't sit by and watch another 100 human beings — another 150 human beings lose their lives to excessive force," added Newsom, who described the measure as being "profoundly significant."
The legislation, which cleared the California state Senate last month and was passed by the state's assembly in late May, says when possible, officers must use "other available resources and techniques" to address threats instead of using deadly force. Its approval raises California's deadly force standard to one of the highest in the nation.
The measure's final hurdle was cleared nearly six months after a prosecutor in Sacramento announced she would not be filing charges against two police officers who killed Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man who was fatally shot in his grandmother's backyard last year. Officers killed Clark after chasing him to the backyard; the prosecutor later described Clark as taking a shooting stance and officers firing after they saw a flash of light that one believed came from a gun. A cell phone was found underneath Clark's body.
The case reflected and further strained relations between the police and the community as well as racial tensions in the state capital and inspired the bill's writing.
Clark's death "just ignited a new resolve with a new administration (with) a fresh set of eyes and a desire to say, 'you know what, we're better than this,'" Newsom said. The governor did not say whether he believes the proposed changes would have had prevented Clark's death.
Geoffrey Alpert, a professor of criminology at the University of South Carolina and an expert on use of force, told CNN on Monday that while he supports the legislation, an emphasis should be placed on officers' training and what options they have when faced with a potentially dangerous situation.
"The thing police have to do is really dig into the training, dig into the scenarios and make sure officers know how to respond," Alpert said. He added that based on the law's language, it will be the "strongest" in the country, but that "time will tell what it means" and it could face legal challenges.
Several California police groups, including the Los Angeles Police Protective League, Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Employees' Benefit Association and Protect California praised the move by Newsom, saying the new standards "emphasize de-escalation of volatile situations and a reverence for life."
In a separate joint statement, the California Police Chiefs Association, the Peace Officers Research Association of California and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen said the success of the new law "hinges on the passage" of a bill in the state legislature that would provide funding for law enforcement tools and more police training.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California also welcomed the new law, with Peter Bibring, an attorney for the group, telling CNN that the measure "is about a simple rule — police shouldn't take a life if they have other alternatives."

Indian Railways revives the era of steam engines with steam locomotive Azad WP 7200 ready to haul Indian luxury train, Palace on Wheels. The 71-year-old engine has undergone renovation, bringing back its glorious days, while hauling the Palace on Wheels, the pioneer of luxury trains in India.
While the luxury train has a number of successful years of operations, the steam engine also has interesting heritage. Built in 1947, the year of Indian Independence, the steam engine was named Azad. The Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, USA built the WP 7200.
In the presence of senior official of Indian Railways, Mr Ashwani Lohani, Railway Board Chairman flagged off the steam-hauled luxury tourist train. The memorable train ride was from the Safdarjung Station to Patel Nagar on the Ring Railway circuit.
Indian Railways operations comprised a number of successful decades. For years', the bullet-nosed WP locomotives were not just the backbone of broad gauge passenger train operations but the pride of steam locomotives. After operations for a long era, the steam engines were retired from duty in 1995.
Later, a dedicated Indian Railways' team was kept at work renovating the heritage steam engines. Currently at the Railway's Steam Centre in Rewari, these engines undergo regular repair and maintenance work.
Also, from time to time, The Indian Railways deal with operations of heritage steam trips on the popular tourist circuits in India.
India's first luxury train, Palace on Wheels has a number of awards to its name for its royal amenities and luxurious train rides. Journeying through the royal state of Rajasthan, the train replicates the feel of royalty. Some lavish features of the train include wall to wall carpeting, regal décor, lavish cabins, two dining cars, a well-stocked bar and also a very personalized service.

Being chased by someone -- or something -- is an extremely common nightmare.
To be chased or attacked by something or someone is a ubiquitous nightmare shared by all dreamers. The scenery and assailant might change figure or form, but the act of being chased in a dream always signals to our body's fight-or-flight response. The chase dream is remarkably prevalent because the fight-or-flight response is a primal reaction embedded in every single human being, arising when faced with dangers or fears.
Sigmund Freud characterized these dreams as "the manifest dream content of persons suffering from anxiety." This anxiety reflected in a chase dream could stem from a various number of concerns, from menial worries about getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, to substantial fears of getting into a full-on collision. As these genuine fears are embodied in a phantasmal pursuit, the actions you take to escape this hounding danger parallel how you would react to the stresses, fears and pressures of reality.
