''Eleven"
Trace Music
►L
Most music lovers in College Station haven’t
had the chance to hear Rivertrain—yet.
This New Braunfels-based band has a unique
blend of country lyrics with a touch of rock V
roll sprinkled in, and it works. It works well
enough to put the band in competition with Cross
Canadian Ragweed and Reckless Kelly for
Gruene With Envy’s Band of the Year honors.
All 13 tracks on “Eleven” were written by lead
singers Jerry Martin and Sam Sanchez, who said
they were influenced by music from AC/DC to
Robert Earl Keen and everyone in between.
The new CD is just as diverse as that back
ground. From the fast paced rock *n’ roll track
“Doin’ Alright” to the ballad “Black and White”
and the retro-sounding “Cold Winter,” the CD has
various sounds that showcase the group's diverse
songwriting and vocal abilities.
The new single, “Better Things” is one of the
best tracks on the CD. and has been climbing up
the Progressive Country Music Charts since it’s
been getting more radio airtime.
As far as tone goes, “On My Way” is
beat. The guitar rifts mesh just rigl
Sanchez’s lazy-sounding vocals.
“All I Wanted” is arguably the best song on!
album. It’s a slow, soft ballad that showcases I

Judge refuses to dismiss two
charges against Stewart
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge refused
to dismiss a securities fraud charge Tuesday that
accuses Martha Stewart of deceiving her stock
holders when she publicly declared her innocence
in the insidef-trading scandal.
Eight weeks before the home-decorating
authority is scheduled to go on trial, U.S. District
Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum brushed aside
defense arguments that the charge violates
Stewart’s free-speech rights.
“Such false factual statements are not protect
ed by the First Amendment,” Cedarbaum said.
The judge also refused, for now, to dismiss an
obstruction-of-justice charge. She said it would be
appropriate for the defense to make such a request
only after the government had presented its case to
a jury.
Stewart, 62, is accused of conspiracy, obstruct
ing justice, securities fraud and two counts of
lying to investigators about her 2001 sale of about
4,000 shares of ImClone Systems just one day
before a negative decision from the Food and
Drug Administration sent the stock plummeting.
Prosecutors contend she was tipped that the
family of ImClone founder Sam Waksal was try
ing to sell its shares. Stewart has denied that,
claiming she had a standing order with her
stockbroker to sell the stock when it fell to a cer
tain price.
Stewart sat quietly during the 90-minute hear
ing, resting her chin on her left hand and occa
sionally taking notes. She was hustled into a black
sedan after she left the courthouse.
The securities fraud count accuses her of
deceiving shareholders when she publicly
declared her innocence and said she was cooperat
ing with investigators.
Her lawyers also said the obstruction count
should be dismissed because none of Stewart’s
statements to investigators could have hindered
the federal investigation into her stock sale.
The government said both charges were proper.
In the case of the securities fraud count,
“Stewart did not merely express a belief that she
would be cleared of accusations of wrongdoing,”
prosecutors said in court papers. “Instead,
gave a forceful, detailed and false explanatii
her sale of ImClone.”
T he charges against Stewart carry a pol
prison term of 30 years, although she wou
far less under f ederal sentencing guidelines.
Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimeii
were down 10 cents to close at,$10.18.
