An All-Code player won't work? My DVD player was DOA (calling Dr. Frankenstein), Andy Janklow Leaves S.D. Jail After 100 Days 2 hours, 32 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By CARSON WALKER, Associated Press Writer SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Former congressman and governor Bill Janklow left jail Monday, 100 days after he began serving his sentence for an accident that killed a motorcyclist. Janklow, carrying a large accordion file under one arm and a brown grocery bag in the other, walked out of the jail, past a crowd of reporters, and left in a vehicle driven by a longtime friend. "We love you, man," family friend Matt Rost yelled as Janklow walked outside. Janklow hugged another who complimented him on his obvious weight loss while incarcerated. A jury in Janklow's hometown of Flandreau convicted him in December of speeding, running a stop sign, reckless driving and second-degree manslaughter for an Aug. 16 accident that killed Randy Scott of Hardwick, Minn. Scott, 55, died instantly. Janklow, 64, suffered a broken hand and bleeding on the brain. Janklow, a Republican who served four terms as governor, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2002. He resigned Jan. 20 and started serving his jail time Feb. 7. Janklow, who blamed the crash on a diabetic condition, has appealed his manslaughter and reckless driving convictions to the South Dakota Supreme Court. His law license is suspended at least until that is resolved. Judge Rodney Steele also fined Janklow $5,750, ordered him to pay $5,000 for his incarceration and put him on probation for three years, during which he won't be allowed to drive. The convictions will be erased from his record if he complies with terms of the sentence. Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead said Janklow was given no special treatment during his incarceration, except that he was placed away from other inmates who may have tried to seek revenge for his years as attorney general or governor. Republican Larry Diedrich, a former state legislator, will meet Democrat Stephanie Herseth in a June 1 special election to fill Janklow's House seat. Herseth lost a close race to Janklow in 2002. A couple of men on hand for the release said they don't think Janklow served enough time in jail. "We're here to see the face Janklow's going to have after his 100 days. He's lucky. I just got out after eight months for DUI," said Mark Stricherz, 23. His friend Jason Hendricks called the sentence "a slap on the wrist." Also on hand was Merlyn Schutterle, who has had run-ins with Janklow over the years and claims authorities unfairly accused him of being a child molester. Janklow had said an argument with Schutterle on Aug. 16 had upset him and was one of the reasons he didn't eat that day, leading to a diabetic reaction that Janklow said caused the crash. Prosecutors said Janklow, a longtime, unapologetic speeder, concocted the defense as an excuse for his reckless driving. Prosecution experts said it was highly dangerous for a diabetic who takes insulin to go long hours without food. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 12:30:37 -0600 From: "Roger Winston" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Fw: Flying Nun DVD at Smokecds.com zoom@muppetlabs.com on 5/17/2004 12:05:27 PM wrote: > > Warning: Keep in mind that unless you live in the UK like Rich or have a > > DVD Plyaer that does PAL to NTSC conversion (rare), your DVD player and TV > > probably won't work with PAL discs (which is a separate issue from whether > > they are Region Free/All Region or not). > > An All-Code player won't work? It will if it does PAL -> NTSC conversion. Most Region Free players do, I believe. Some do it better than others though.

Seems to me that most or all all-region players can also read PAL discs and convert output to NTSC for American TVs. But, strictly speaking, these are two different features. - Dan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 16:55:17 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] [Fwd: on the air again (Jen, please forward to the Loudfans list)] - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: on the air again (Jen, please forward to the Loudfans list) Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 14:10:10 EDT From: Vivebonpop@aol.com To: sleeveless@zoominternet.net Hi lovers of all things Scott, Just a note to let you know that I'll be on wncw.org Tuesday morning from 1-5 am est if you're up and about, full of existential angst and chain smoking. Andrew Sandoval was very kind and sent me a CD-R of his upcoming album, "What's It All About?" I asked him if I could play it and he said sure, so I will play a few tracks from the disc...his most mature work to date (you may remember him from "Sing Hollies In Reverse"). New Moz less than a day away! I'm playing his entire latest single as one of my sets as well.

So, anyone here have an opinion of the new Rundgren? I heard one song, "Afterlife", that I was pleasantly surprised by. It was all techno and shiny, but it worked somehow. I'm also making my annual attempt to get into Scott Walker, and it seems to be taking this year. I've spent a lot of time since the last attempt listening to Robin Gibb, Kevin Rowland and Sinatra's _Watertown_, so maybe that's it. I'm also going album by album instead of going for one of the compilations--somehow that seems to make more sense to me. Maybe i'll get into Jacques Brel one of these days, too. Overblown pretension doesn't bother me like it used to. Don't know if that's a positive development. I have to say, though, that the TV footage i've seen of Brel is amazing--stunning, really. I hear there's a $200 box with a DVD or two of footage--i'd love to just have the DVD. love, B "I don't believe I have time to go over what is wrong" -Felipe Alou - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
