  3. By Chad Peters - Express-News IRVING — Tears streaming down Chase Howells' face, a timid smile began to break through as the Blanco senior addressed his teammates one final time Friday night. Though the Panthers' perfect season had just ended — so, too, drawing a close to Howells' high-school career — the linebacker/offensive tackle couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction on the heels of Daingerfield's 43-7 victory in the Class 2A Division II state semifinals. There he was, after all, huddled at midfield of Texas Stadium with some of his closest friends, just one tantalizing step short of a chance to play for the program's second state championship. “This is the best memory of my life playing with everybody,” Howells said. “It's been a long year. But what a better place to go out than (Texas) Stadium? Those are my boys. “It's just sad for it to come to an end.” In a season in which seemingly nothing — no deficit, miscue or opponent — could deter the Panthers (14-1), they ultimately ran into a foe in Daingerfield that was simply too equipped to let Blanco work its magic. Falling behind 14-0 less than eight minutes into the game on a series of early mistakes — a fumble, a 4-yard punt and a blown coverage — Blanco settled down in the second quarter to earn a chance to possibly even the score at 14-14 entering halftime. But Daingerfield (13-1), like it had done most of the night, stiffened to force a momentous turn in events. Facing 4th-and-11 from the Daingerfield 24-yard line, Blanco had a man running wide open down the middle of the field — only to have a Daingerfield lineman swat away the pass at the line of scrimmage for a stoppage on downs with several minutes left in the second quarter. Then, with 16 seconds left in the half, Daingerfield sophomore quarterback Tyler Boyd dropped a beautiful 25-yard touchdown pass over two defenders and into the hands of Juron Smith in the corner of the end zone to push the lead back to 21-7. The play provided the first six of Daingerfield's 29 unanswered points to close the game. “That was pretty much the backbreaker,” Blanco coach Danny Rogers said. With Blanco's usually potent offense continuing to stall, the quick-strike Tigers used a flurry of big plays to bury the Panthers in the second half. Daingerfield, which scored two touchdowns in its first four plays from scrimmage to start the game, added scores of 25, 25 and 29 yards over the final two periods. Boyd finished with four scores (three passing and one rushing), and went 7 of 10 for 133 yards passing to go along with 47 rushing yards on eight carries. Speedy tailback KoKo Smith had 176 yards on 18 attempts. “We didn't have our burst that we always had,” said Blanco running back Kevin Gray, who scored the team's lone TD. “We were waiting for our burst. And when it came, they shut it down. “They were the better team today.”

  6. By JON PARELES Published: February 28, 2008 Buddy Miles, the drummer in Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys and a hitmaker under his own name with the song “Them Changes,” died on at his home in Austin, Tex. He was 60. Mr. Miles suffered from congestive heart failure, his publicist, Duane Lee, said, according to Reuters. Mr. Lee said he did not know the official cause of death. Mr. Miles played with a brisk, assertive, deeply funky attack that made him an apt partner for Hendrix. With his luxuriant Afro and his American-flag shirts, he was a prime mover in the psychedelic blues-rock of the late 1960’s, not only with Hendrix but also as a founder, drummer and occasional lead singer for the Electric Flag. During the 1980’s, he was widely heard as the lead voice of the California Raisins in television commercials George Allen Miles Jr., whose aunt nicknamed him after the big-band drummer Buddy Rich, was born in Omaha and began playing drums as a child. He was 12 years old when he joined his father’s jazz group, the Bebops. As a teenager he also worked with soul and rhythm-and-blues acts, among them the Ink Spots, the Delfonics and Wilson Pickett. By 1967, he had moved to Chicago, where he was a founding member of the Electric Flag. That band included a horn section and played blues, soul and rock; it made its debut at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and released its first album in 1968. But the Electric Flag was short-lived. Mr. Miles formed the Buddy Miles Express, and its first album, “Electric Church,” was produced by Hendrix, whom he had met when both were sidemen on the rhythm-and-blues circuit. Mr. Miles appeared on two songs on the Hendrix album “Electric Ladyland.” When Hendrix disbanded the Jimi Hendrix Experience and replaced his trio’s British musicians with African-Americans, Mr. Miles joined him in the Band of Gypsys along with Billy Cox on bass. On the last night of the 1960s, a New Year’s Eve show, they recorded “Band of Gypsys,” an album that included “Them Changes.” Mr. Miles also worked in the studio with Hendrix, and appears on “Cry of Love,” released after Hendrix died in 1970. He re-recorded “Them Changes” with his own band, and it became a hit and a blues-rock staple; Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood performed it on Monday at Madison Square Garden. Through the 1970s, Mr. Miles made albums with his own bands. He also made a live album with Carlos Santana in 1972, and sang on the 1987 Santana album “Freedom.” During his career he appeared on more than 70 albums and worked with musicians including Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Barry White and George Clinton. He was imprisoned on drug-related convictions during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, but when he emerged, advertising recharged his career. He sang the lead vocal for the California Raisins, whose Claymation commercials were so popular that they led to a string of albums by the fictional group. Two of them, “California Raisins” and “Meet the Raisins,” shipped a million copies. Mr. Miles also produced and performed commercials for Cadillac and Harley Davidson. He and Mr. Cox recorded a live album, “The Band of Gypsys Return,” in 2004. Mr. Miles continued to perform even after suffering a stroke in 2005. Survivors include his partner, Sherrilae Chamber

I"m not sure how they determine a band's sexuality, some of these just don't even make sense to me, but here's the list. BTW, the list comes from some type of Christian organization that "helps gays on there way to recovery".

  14. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow, a steel guitar prodigy who rose to fame as one of the original members of the Flying Burrito Brothers, has died. He was 72. Kleinow, who also worked in film as an award-winning animator and special effects artist, died Saturday at a Petaluma convalescent home near the skilled nursing facility where he had been living with Alzheimer's disease since last year, his daughter Anita Kleinow said. During a musical career that spanned six decades, Kleinow helped define the country-rock genre in the late 1960s and 1970s by taking the instrument he had picked up as a teenager in South Bend, Indiana, to California. His prowess with the pedal steel guitar influenced a generation of rock-and-rollers, including the Eagles, the Steve Miller Band and Poco. Besides co-founding the Burrito Brothers with the Byrds' Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons in 1968, he enjoyed a steady gig as a session musician, recording with such singer-songwriters as John Lennon, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell and bands as varied as the Bee Gees and Sly and the Family Stone. Kleinow played and recorded regularly with Burrito Deluxe, a band he founded in 2000 following the rebirth of alt-country music and fronted until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His last recording with the group is scheduled to be released next month, said Brenda Cline, the band's manager. Kleinow also won acclaim as an animator, special effects artist and director of commercials in television and film. His credits ranged from the original "Gumby" series -- he wrote and performed the theme music as well as designed cartoons -- and the relaunched "The Twilight Zone" to the movies "Under Siege," "Fearless" and "The Empire Strikes Back." He won an Emmy award in 1983 for his work on the miniseries, "The Winds of War." Kleinow is survived by his wife of 54 years, Ernestine, his daughters Anita and Tammy, and three sons, Martin, Aaron and Cosmo. Plans for a memorial service to be held in Joshua Tree later this month are pending

  17. Neil Patrick Harris: 'I'm Gay' AP / Chris Carlson Actor Neil Patrick Harris has ended growing speculation about his sexuality, by revealing he is gay. The "How I Met Your Mother" star was recently outed by a Web site, which claimed he helped his alleged boyfriend land a role in the sitcom. His publicist Craig Snyder played down the reports, insisting "he's not of that persuasion." But Harris has revealed all to People magazine's Web site because of "speculation and interest in my private life and relationships." He says, "(I) am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest." Harris found fame as a young actor playing a teenage doctor in "Doogie Howser, MD." He might try to find a new publicist!!!!
