Over the weekend, it was revealed that Kanye West had credits on Drake’s “Two Birds, One Stone,” which included a diss to G.O.O.D. Music Pusha T, a a MC who was once Drake’s idol. It also included some bars directed at Kid Cudi that many felt were disrespectful for making light of Cudi’s current health issues. Seeing as how Kanye made amends with Cudi in September and then dedicated “Father Stretch My Hands” to his “brother” at his Saint Pablo show last week, it was a bit of a shocker to see Kanye credited on Drake’s diss. But there’s a perfectly good reason for that, says “Two Birds” co-producer Noah “40” Shebib.
Drake’s day one partner spoke with Genius and explained just how Kanye’s name ended up in the song’s credits. In short, it’s all about the drums.
And that’s basically it. “Two Birds, One Stone” uses some drums Kanye West gave 40, probably for a beat that would’ve been on Kanye and Drake’s collaborative album. And just like that, Jadakiss’ ‘in reality, you’re just a worker and your boss is my man” is relevant again.
Update: A source close to the situation points out that just because Kanye’s name appears as one of the song’s writers doesn’t mean he actually contributed lines to Drake’s rhymes. “When someone contributes to a song as a producer/musician they are considered a writer, as he is alongside Noah Shebib and the other musicians on the song,” the source says.

best year ever | The Jamestown Comet.
Resolving for a better new year.
Well, the holidays are upon us once more and 2016 is nearing an end. It’s safe to say that the past year has certainly been filled with remarkable change. What did 2016 mean to you? Was it an end or a beginning? Did you experience triumph or tragedy?
If you’re like most, it was a mixture of both. Sometimes it’s hard to discern the difference. What some see as catastrophe, others view as a success. It really depends on your perspective. Of course, the New Year is always a good time to make a change for the better in your own life.
But be aware that most statistics show that only around 46 percent of resolutions continue past six months. At the same time, people who set a goal based on a resolution are 10 percent more likely to succeed than those who do not.
However you do it, in order to change your life for the better you have to get up and take the first step. And, sometimes attitude is everything where life changes are concerned.
You have to stay positive, dismiss the naysayers and keep motivated and moving forward. So, whether you start because of a resolution or just because you think now is a good time, your potential success or failure rests largely with your motivation.
Additionally, remember that you can’t force someone else to change either. If they want a different life, they have to take the steps toward that end.
For example, suppose Lisa is dating Mike and she’s having a tough time because he is addicted to role-playing games. Lisa wants to eventually marry Mike, but she cannot handle the gaming.
Lisa believes, however, that she can change him, help him to see the error of his ways. She believes that she can set a resolution to reform him with love – or a rolling pin (just kidding, she doesn’t bake – she actually uses a frying pan).
Mike is never going to change because someone else wants him to do so. If he wants to quit playing he will have to do it for his own reasons. I am certainly no psychologist, but I do know that for any New Year’s resolution to be successful, the desire to change has to come from within.
I may be wrong, but I think the motivation for change at the start of a new year comes from a deep desire in all of us for a fresh start. Most people want to strive for something better, no matter what our situation. Of course, there are still people out there who simply don’t care and are either complacent or resigned.
For some, the new year offers an opportunity to get “it” right – whatever your particular “it” happens to be at the time. In any case, it’s up to you to make those choices and follow through. If you don’t, you have no one to blame but yourself.
You can get things moving by creating a list of the things you want to accomplish in the coming year. For the record, I’d leave out a lottery jackpot and focus on more realistic expectations, like finishing your education or pursuing a career change.
Then figure out what it takes to reach those milestones and make a plan to get there (the “make a plan” part is pretty important). You will likely have a great deal of work to do and, for some at least, a long-term goal may require multiple short-term steps. Be patient, work hard and stay focused.
Incidentally, staying focused may indeed be the biggest challenge you face. The aforementioned plan is vital. Lay it out, be consistent, stick to it one step at a time, rather than trying to do everything all at once, and you can be successful.
A New Year’s resolution can be either a step towards improving your life or it can be a fruitless, frustrating endeavor that causes you stress and worry. It all depends on how committed you are to the kind of change you want in your life. However you do it, the choice rests with you.

The children's book author and illustrator of the Paddington Bear series is interviewed by Nick Bruel '87, creator of the Bad Kitty series.
R.W. (Bob) Alley ’79 was fresh out of Haverford when he launched his career as a children’s book author and illustrator. Perhaps best known as the illustrator of the venerable Paddington Bear series, today he has well over 100 books to his credit— and he’s still going strong. In October, Clarion Books released the third and fourth installments of a series Alley wrote and illustrated about the playtime adventures of four imaginative siblings. To learn more about his latest work and his long career, we asked another star in the children’s book firmament, Nick Bruel ’87, creator of the popular Bad Kitty series, to interview Alley, who lives in Barrington, R.I., with his wife, Zoë. It turns out that Alley and Bruel had long been fans of each other’s work but had no idea about their alumni connection until Haverford magazine put them in touch.
Nick Bruel: Let’s talk abut what you’re doing now, this series of picture books that you’ve written as well as illustrated.
R.W. Alley: Clark in the Sea and Gretchen Over the Beach came out together in the spring, and Annabelle at the South Pole and Mitchell on the Moon came out in October.
NB: They’re really lovely. What I find fascinating is that it’s the same group of children in each book but—almost as if this was a television series—each character gets his, or her, own episode.
RWA: The idea was to write something that would recreate those childhood moments when you’re not included with the others. You have to go off and figure out a way to amuse yourself on your own. It’s what I remember doing myself. It’s what I remember my children doing—taking random stuff that they came across and making a world out of it.
NB: These are the first books that you’ve both written and illustrated in quite a while—since 1990. What brought the urge to write again?
RWA: When you’re doing a series like Paddington that you can count on getting royalties from for a little bit, you can then think about branching out and doing some other stuff. I had been illustrating other people’s words for long enough. I thought it was important to think of my own words. So I’m trying to write more.
NB: How did your first book, The Ghost in Dobbs Diner, published in 1981, come about?
RWA: When I graduated from Haverford, I knew I wanted to do picture books. I figured that out some time in my senior year. But I had no track record. Nobody was going to hire me to illustrate someone else’s words, because I wasn’t a very polished illustrator. I knew the way to get into it was to write my own books. So I wrote Ghost in Dobbs Diner, and then another one after that. But I wanted to get married, so I needed a real job. Hallmark hired me and we spent two years in Kansas City. Then I was hired on at a small card company in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and after a couple of years an agent approached me and said she had a lot of textbook work for an illustrator. So I quit my job and here we are.
NB: The first Paddington Bear book came out in 1958, and you took over the series in the mid-1990s. How did the opportunity to be the illustrator for Paddington come about?
RWA: I’d done a couple Harper books and Harper & Row merged with William Collins over in the U.K. Collins had the rights to Paddington and the folks in New York decided, “We should mine the Paddington brand and commission Michael Bond to write new picture books for the U.S. market and we’ll get a U.S. illustrator to do it.” I had to audition. I had to draw up the character over and go over to England with the editor and present my drawings to Michael. He’s a very nice guy. He took us around London, showed us all the Paddington sites, and we hit it off.
After the first meeting, I spent the night in the hotel room doing some new drawings, because I could tell from Michael’s face that something wasn’t exactly right with some of the characters. I fiddled around and got them closer to what he had in mind. And that was how it began. The U.K. division was going to find an English illustrator to do the books over there, but Michael persuaded them to have me be the sole illustrator for Paddington. That’s how it’s been ever since.
NB: I’m curious about the collaboration with your wife [Zoë B. Alley] on There’s a Wolf at the Door and There’s a Princess in the Palace, which are done in a large, comic-book format. It’s unusual for the illustrator to actually collaborate with the author during the process of making the book. Tell us about that.
RWA: Those are two of the happiest experiences I’ve had working on picture books. I think because I got to see her write them, I felt like I really knew the characters. Also, I loved the comic-book format. I think that’s a really underutilized form in picture books.
NB: Looking at your illustrations, it looks like they’re line art and watercolor with maybe some acrylic mixed in. Am I right?
RWA: You’re exactly right. It’s a crow quill pen and ink, and the watercolor, and colored pencil, and sometimes crayons—just whatever looks good.
NB: Do you ever do digital illustrations?
NB: Did you get any formal art training at Haverford?
RWA: Fritz Janschka was the guy who taught me. I goosed up my GPA very nicely by enrolling in a class with Fritz every semester. He would just teach me whatever I was interested in learning. He was a fabulous watercolorist, a wonderful line artist. That’s really where I learned.
NB: I only took one course with him, and I thought he was marvelous. He was a Bryn Mawr professor, right?
RWA: Yes. He just passed away this year. He was 97. But other than those classes, I didn’t do much studio art. My parents wouldn’t let me major in fine arts at a school like Haverford. I had to do art history, an academic subject.
NB: Because art history is so much more practical, right?
NB: What’s next for you?
RWA: There’s a new Paddington novel. There’s also Paddington being redone in all sorts of formats, and I’m doing new covers for those books. Zoë and I are also acting as editorial consultants, and me as the artist, for a new series of picture books about a dog called Enzo. It’s based on the narrator of the Garth Stein novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, which was, and still is, very popular. Three have been published, and I’m going to be working on the fourth over the winter. Then, after that, I don’t know. How about you?
NB: Once I finish the Bad Kitty book I’m working on, I’m going to be writing my first middle-grade novel.
RWA: I love your books. I’m really curious to see what you do with middle-grade fiction. That’s going to be fun.
Nick Bruel '87, whose first book, Boing, was a New York Times bestseller, is the author and illustrator of more than 20 Bad Kitty books, including Bad Kitty Does Not Like Video Games, and Bad Kitty Does Not Like Snow. The series has sold more than 8.5 million copies. Bruel lives in Tarrytown, N.Y., with his wife and daughter and their cat Esmeralda.

I had the opportunity to speak on John Aielli’s show, “Eklektikos“, produced by KUT radio in Austin, October 24th! He played ‘Jesu Meine Freud Und Lust’ from the new Buxtehude album and ‘Absalom’ from Ryland Angel (EMI).” It was great to be back in Austin, and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with John about my music.
You can purchase Absalom from amazon.com or itunes. Buxtehude is available on itunes.
Can you believe it!! 22 is my new favorite number, although I wouldn’t mind it changing!!
Interestingly enough, if you look at the chart there are groups like Manhattan Transfer and Amy Winehouse, very cool?! I have never been in a Jazz vocal chart before but this totally rocks!
Getting great facebook feedback and buzz on the album.
You all know how much I love the dragons painted for me by Anna Bland. Here is a look at the second one she created. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Back in the summer of 2010, while in St. David’s, I met a wonderful artist called Anna Bland. I commissioned her to paint me a couple of dragons. Here is the third one that she did. Awesome!!! Thanks, Anna!

Whether amateur or professional, performing artists have unique health needs specific to their art form. Musicians, singers, dancers, actors and other performers should always consider their own physical limitations and the dangers of their genre so they can continue to do their best on stage.
Goto urges every performing artist to establish a good relationship with an appropriate medical professional long before injuries occur.
Create a reasonable practice and performance schedule that is in line with ability level and conditioning. Just as an aspiring runner takes weeks or months to build to a 5 kilometer race, a performing artist should gradually build intensity and duration to the amount required during a performance.
Seek medical attention before minor discomfort turns into an injury that requires weeks or months of treatment and downtime.
When injuries occur, work with medical professionals to return gradually to previous performance levels. Discuss any pain or discomfort to understand when you should cut back on your work.
Musicians – especially marching band drummers and orchestral brass players – have the greatest risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
“Even audience members can suffer temporary hearing loss after attending one high-decibel rock concert, so it’s no surprise that musicians may face permanent damage over time,” she said.
Hearing checkups custom-fitted musician’s earplugs, which reduce decibel levels while maintaining sound quality.
When possible, rehearse at a sound level lower than needed for performances.
Avoid other kinds of loud noises or take precautions against the sound produced by snowmobiles, chainsaws or loud televisions so music-induced hearing loss is not worsened.

Last Friday night, a women’s boxing tournament should have taken place at the Thohoyandou town hall in Limpopo. Promoted by Mpho Khorommbi, a former lightweight boxer and local Don King-type personality, the event never happened. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of rands were lost, and a boxer who had flown in from Hungary was left without an opponent.
Judges, who had come from East London, had nine phantom bouts over which to officiate.
Between 600 and 700 patrons were expected in the town hall, with men paying R100 a ticket and women getting in for free. Eagerly awaited, the jamboree never happened.
The whys and the wherefores of the cancellation — Khorommbi alleges collusion between the SABC, which was due to broadcast the event, and a second promoter, whom they appointed against his wishes — are less significant than what it tells us about the sport.
With cancelled bouts, nonpayment of boxers and the failure of promoters to lodge purses with Boxing South Africa (BSA) regular events, boxing is on its hands and knees, barely managing to crawl into the proverbial third round.
Legal action against the SABC by recently emigrated promoters, mismanagement by the statutory authority, BSA, and a lack of direction and sponsorship money signal generalised decline.
Former television commentator turned promoter Dicksy Ngqula has left a string of unpaid debts running into hundreds of thousands of rands with the collapse of his so-called Premier Boxing League, and the doyen of local promoters, Rodney Berman, is so disenchanted with the industry that some of his tournaments happen in Monaco, with four a year taking place locally at Emperor’s Palace.
of each other, with the snap of competition being heard in all divisions. King Korn sponsored it all, bouts were shown on the public broadcaster and the sport was in rude health.
Last week, the South African Olympic team arrived back from Rio with 10 medals in their green and gold luggage. Not so long ago and that luggage would have contained medals won in boxing, historically a rich seam of gold for South Africa at the Olympics.
Not any more. In 2016 South Africa couldn’t muster a single Rio boxer, let alone one who could realistically compete for a medal. Here is a sport in almost laughable disarray.
BSA is an anomaly in the local sporting scene because, unlike, say, cricket or rugby, it deals with neither national teams nor grassroots development. It is primarily a sanctioning and licensing body, licensing boxers themselves, trainers, managers and promoters.
It is an anomaly in a second sense, in that the oversight of boxing is promulgated by an Act of Parliament.
Boxing is the only sport in this country that falls under the minister of sport. The minister appoints the BSA chief executive — the newly ensconced Tsholofelo Lejaka — as well as the board.
he chief executive’s position at BSA has been a veritable revolving door in recent years, with the position being occupied by Krish Naidoo, Dumile Mateza, Mava Malla, Thabo Moseki, Bongani Khumalo, Moffat Qithi and Loyiso Mtya, who left the sport in disgrace because he was suspended, and then couldn’t help himself and attended a tournament. When asked why, he replied that he had “forgotten”.
This is the very board that seems powerless to prevent the kind of serial shenanigans that unfolded in Limpopo last week.
Lejaka, the new BSA chief executive, accepts that cancelled tournaments like the one in Thohoyandou do not reflect well on his organisation.
He said: “We will not leave this lying [down]. We will be looking into it,” adding that he was aware the sport was nowhere near reaching its full potential.
At much the same time as the Thohoyandou tournament was unravelling, the World Rowing Championships were taking place in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. South Africa was well represented in the lower half of the championships, with 10 boats competing in either the under-23 or the junior (under-19) divisions.
Without being too crude about it, rowing is everything boxing is not. It has remained positively Olympian in its detachment from the messier currents of political life in this country and simply got on with the back-breaking work of producing future medallists in four and eight years’ time.
Key to this is Roger Barrow, RowSA’s head coach. Barrow is a driven, mildly eccentric and decidedly beneath-the-radar kind of guy. He has described some of his male rowers as “freaks”, given that they don’t always conform to the ideal ergonomic outline of what constitutes the international ideal for an Olympic medallist.
His training regimes have involved pushing his Olympic squad into the cold water of Lesotho’s Katse Dam three times a day. Barrow is a dedicated, hard-working man. He expects the same from his rowers.
Even given RowSA’s comparative health, their Olympic performance was disappointing. Only Laurence Brittain and Shaun Keeling won a medal in Rio (a silver), and two top-ranked crews won their semifinal heat but didn’t get a medal.
This said, the sport exudes direction and self-confidence. Rand Merchant Bank’s sponsorship of the sport (with an associated television, film and YouTube campaign) has raised its profile considerably.
Far from prying eyes, it functions a world away from the situation just after the 2012 London Olympics when the federation was so cash-strapped it was selling its own boats.
Compare its good governance and ability to sidestep political interference with boxing’s increasingly punch-drunk lurch through the years.
Here’s a sport that is technically alive. Listen closely, however, and there’s no heartbeat.

The Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences Program studies the physical, chemical, and biological processes that affect the composition and dynamics of the atmosphere. Research is directly linked to an undergraduate and graduate program that provides a fundamental understanding of the atmosphere, and opportunities for applied research, theoretical research, and technical training to prepare students for careers in meteorology, atmospheric science, remote sensing and environmental technology and science.
The educational experience of our students is broadened with 24 or more hours of graduate- level coursework in diverse areas of the atmospheric and earth system sciences as well as related fields.
Students contribute to the expansion of knowledge through basic research and scholarship as they serve as graduate research assistants to faculty on research projects funded by various local, state, and federal agencies. All students prepare these describing the results of their efforts. Almost all these lead to conference presentations by the students themselves or by their faculty supervisor. Roughly half of these serve as the basis for formal publications in the refereed literature.
Students completing the program are prepared for employment in research and operational activities in private industry, government, and academic settings.
Faculty expertise is applied to regional and global needs in atmospheric research with support from external research grants. Faculty perform state- of- the- art research in satellite remote sensing, meteorological radar analysis, numerical modeling of cloud and mesoscale processes, analysis of field data from diverse combinations of platforms, and complex interactions between components of the earth system.
Several of the faculty are actively engaged in research projects involving lightning, severe storms, incident meteorology, fire and its effects on the ecosystem, soil erosion, and other atmospheric and environmental concerns. For more information on our research projects, visit Research in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences.
The Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences Program main offices are housed in the Mineral Industries Building on the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology campus.

Michael Duff speaks to the media after watching his side slip to a 2-0 loss at Carlisle United's Brunton Park.
After seeing his side concede two early second half goals, Michael Duff was disappointed with the nature of the goals his side gave away in the Robins 2-0 defeat at high flying Carlisle United.
All level at the break after an even first half, goals from Jamie Devitt and Hallam Hope earned the Cumbrians all three points, as Carlisle earned a seventh win in their last eight games.
Speaking to the media post-match, Duff felt his charges mentality when both defending their own box and attacking the oppositions, needs to improve.
"We had as many chances to score as they did - they took their chances, we didn't take ours. I don't think there was anything in the game particularly," Duff said.
"We quietened them down and tried to play a little bit more direct than we have done recently.
"You can't give away goals like we did. I thought we were excellent when we were 2-0 down but it's easy when you're 2-0 down. The mentality of the group we've got you've got to be tougher in both boxes."
Watch Duff's post-match reaction above on iFollow.
Next up for the Robins, it's a home encounter with Macclesfield Town at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium next Saturday.

We have decided that it is in the best interest for all members of forza inter forums that we close the political forum down. Recently, we have seen that members have grown friction towards each other due to their political beliefs.
Now that is something that we would like to avoid because we believe that all Interisti should get along well with one and another! Even if there should be some disagreements between us, at least let it be about football or Inter!
We apologize to members who have been rationally discussion issues in the political forum, taking a stance as unbiased as possible, but unfortunately there are just too many quarrels in the political forum. It is also a forum that is extremely hard to moderate, due to its sensitive nature and also because none of us are political or religion experts either.
Any future religion or political discussion will simply be deleted without notice and repeat offender will be subject to a ban.
Thanks for the understanding guys.
Really? It's a shame because it was an interesting area because there are people from so many backgrounds here which contributed to some interesting discussion.
The best thing which has happened to this forum. Fights, arguments were the only things coming out of it. I applaud Han and the other Mod's for doing this. I once said in the Religion thread that such threads should be closed off just for the harmony among people here. Thank you Mod's, thanks.
Jose: "I understand your work and I have to work with you, but the protection of my group is much, much, much more important than you."
Eto : "What I can say to Mr Mourinho is 'Thanks a lot: thanks for giving me the chance to discuss technical matters with you.' That was the best gift he gave me."
"Thanks to a man who is an Interista through and through, Marco Materazzi, for making me feel 'Italian'. Thanks big bro."
Instead of directing our anger at eachother in the political thread, we should take it out on Juventus, Muntari and Universe.
But what if Universe was Muntari?
I think the Ibrahimovic thread brought much more hatred than the political thread ever did.
But was against a united enemy. In the political forum it was inter fans vs inter fans and we don't want that.
Jose responding after the derby:"We could only have lost by having six people on the park, as even with seven, we would have won. "
I'm happy with the decision as well, there are plenty of platforms around to discuss politics, it just doesn't fit to such a forum in my opinion..
I'm referring to the time when he went to Barca, I refer to the case the Ibra fan boys versus Nyall and co. decided by the First hall of the Civil Court.
No offence intended Stubel. What I meant is Forza Inter posters vs Forza Inter posters.
Good decision. Thumbs up admins. Perhaps the same thing should be done to the Religion forum & every other thread which has the potential to make members go against each other.
Had Mazzarri been on the bench today, losing a game from 1-0 to 2-1 against Stramaccioni and Deki, he'd be photoshopped, graffittied and put on every forum urinal for the especially unwatchable second half, stupid and snail subs, tactical idiocy etc.
The religion section was part of the political section.
Yeah, wanted to stop but couldn't then this happened so I'm grateful . I agree with the Interisti V Interisti there. Lets focus on Inter 100 % here on F-I.
Can we continue here please?
Call this thread Handdam Sudein, death of democracy on F1, part one.
Hasan, the decision was long contemplated by all members of the mod/admin. Admittedly, it was not a unanimous decision but there was enough majority for the closure to go through.
I hope you respect our decision. Thank you.

The drama surrounding Dorial Green-Beckham — the Hillcrest High School football standout who has now been dropped from the Mizzou team — seems to have a life of its own.
DGB, as he is known to his fans, has been in the news most recently because of an incident in Columbia involving violence against a young woman. In January, he was in the news because he and two other young men were stopped in a car along with a pound of marijuana. In October 2012, he and two teammates were arrested by the University of Missouri police after they were found in possession of 35 grams of marijuana.
In the first arrest, he was able to plead down to trespassing and paid a $200 fine. In the second, one of the other men in the car took responsibility for the marijuana and no charges have been filed against DGB.
In the most recent case, Columbia police announced that they will not file charges because there is no "probable cause." But the police report reveals some disturbing information.
Picture an upset boyfriend looking for his girl. There's pushing and shoving. Someone gets hurt. But then the "victim" decides it is better for everyone involved to drop the whole thing. Police decide that, without victim and witness cooperation, no charges can be filed.
The "victim," according to the report said she was "afraid of the media and community backlash" and worried about what an arrest would do to DGB's future NFL career.
Letting a victim who feels overwhelmed and frightened make the decision about whether charges should be filed is a further pressure on her. Police ought to be able to determine if a crime had been committed based on the evidence and the statements of both the victim and witnesses, regardless of their cooperation.
Head Coach Gary Pinkel made the right choice in dropping the troubled player, regardless of what the police do.
Pinkel, in a news release from the Mizzou athletics department, said the decision was "made with the best interests of all involved in mind." He calls for DGB to focus on "getting the help he needs."
We, too, hope this young man with so much potential can learn to control his behavior so he can go on to have a bright future.
Director of Athletics Mike Alden said the decision was also made with the university and the team in mind. "We have a high standard of conduct for our student-athletes. Though we provide the resources and mentoring to all of our student-athletes, we are also responsible to the community at large and to the ideals and values of the University of Missouri. We have determined that this was a necessary step for our football team, athletic department, the university and our community."
The Columbia police need to have the same level of interest in the community. The police report reveals plenty of cause for an arrest. The young woman had bruises, and both she and DGB's girlfriend, who was there at the time, acknowledged the assault. The victim also provided evidence of coercion by the girlfriend, Samantha Bass, to drop any complaint against the player.
Green-Beckham is a talented football player, and he is likely to find a way into the NFL if those who love and care about him can help him onto the right path.
So far, he has not had to face any real legal consequences of his actions, so it is important that the Missouri University athletics department took that action. It appears that his coaches understood that if he had been allowed to avoid any consequences this time it could have given him the message that he is above the law.
Mizzou made sure that didn't happen.

The first 30 minutes of every trading day are the most dangerous for me. I generally don’t like to trade during this time. I live in the Central Time Zone so for me that’s from 8:30 until 9:00 am. There’s usually a rush of buy and sell orders that have been stacked up all night by part time investors that spent the prior evening doing research.
I’m not worried about those long term traders that are putting in limit orders, I’m concerned with those traders that are reacting to last night’s news events. The ones that have been in the chat rooms the night before and found that internet consensus with other traders. They’re dangerous.
During the first 30 minutes there’s often a disorderly push and pull among traders due to trade imbalances as trades come tumbling through in a disorderly manner. Usually within 15-20 minutes the markets rebalance and real traders start pushing the market up or down.
Once I begin to feel that the market has found an equilibrium in it order flow I start to look for trend breakouts. These are literally intraday highs or lows and they signal which way the market or an individual stock is probably heading for the day. This literally tells me if I should execute a trade or wait for a better entry.

Philosophy Shogi Checkers was invented by Inoue Enryô, famous Japanese philosopher. The game was described by his student in 1890. It is similar to Anglo-Saxons checkers although it is played on a 9x9 board. Although capture is mandatory, it is not mandatory to capture the longest line (i.e. it is not necessary to choose the series of jumps that captures the most men). Philosophy Shogi Checkers is an attractive game; Anglo-Saxons checkers with a twist. It still revolves around acquiring material advantage, because the King cannot easily be attacked, unless it ventures out on the board in the middlegame.
The object is to capture the opponent’s King, or stalemate the opponent so he has no moves. A Man can move forward, by sliding diagonally to an adjacent empty square. It may also jump over an enemy piece in any direction to a vacant square on the other side. Jumping over a piece captures it. Capturing is mandatory, and you must keep jumping and capturing as long as it is possible. When your Man reaches the other end of the board, it becomes a Prince and can then move and capture forwards and backwards. It also jumps to capture, but only one Man at a time. The King moves and captures like the Prince.
Philosophy Shogi Checkers never ends in a draw (except by repetition), because there is no “double corner” where the King can go back and forth. Thus all King vs. King endgames are won. By way of combinations one must try to attain material advantage, by exchanging one piece for two, or two for three, etc. In the endgame, material advantage generally leads to a win. A good strategy is to try and get the first Prince, because this piece will cause a lot of damage to the opponent, provided he cannot capture the Prince quickly. Try to hinder the opponent from getting a Prince, by keeping your lines closed so that he cannot break through. The King, together with the guardians on the adjacent squares, should remain in place until a later phase of the game. Thus, both the King and the promotion squares are protected.
I invented a variant named “Philosophy Checkers” where the pieces may also capture orthogonally, as in Frisian draughts (here). This vouches for a much more combinatorial game. In this dynamic variant, a Man moves diagonally forward one step at a time. It can capture in all eight directions. Jumping over a piece captures it. Capture is mandatory, and one must always choose the line that captures the most pieces. The captured pieces remain on the board until the capture sequence is finished.
In this new variant, a Prince is a very powerful piece that can slide diagonally over empty squares and make “long” captures over empty squares, in all diagonal and orthogonal directions. It may also slide orthogonally, but on the dark colour squares only. (Thus, it is the same piece as the Dame in Scandinavian draughts, here.) Unlike the Man, it needn’t land on the first empty square behind the captured piece. When making an orthogonal jump-capture, the capturing piece may only land on dark squares, while the other colour squares are neglected. Enemy pieces are captured one at a time, but several in sequence, if the position so allows. If the Man lands on a promotion square during a capture sequence, it does not promote. The King is the weakest piece. It moves and captures as in Anglo-Saxon checkers, diagonally forwards and backwards. The objective of the game is to capture the King.
Inoue Enryô (March 18, 1858 – June 6, 1919), Japanese philosopher, Buddhist reformer, educator, and nationalist; a key figure in the reception of Western philosophy, the emergence of modern Buddhism, and the permeation of the imperial ideology during the Meiji era. He is the founder of Toyo University and created the Temple Garden of Philosophy in Tokyo (cf. Wikipedia).

The Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) Laboratory's overarching mission is to propose novel sensing paradigms to transform raw sensed heterogeneous data into valuable information (by giving semantic meaning to the collected data) and, finally, into knowledge through information fusion and integration. These paradigms will apply to those distributed systems that need to timely react to sensor information with an effective action such as cyber-physical systems, which feature a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system’s computational and physical elements. The significance of the research is to leverage the acquired knowledge to broaden the potential of cyber-physical systems in several dimensions, including: augmentation of human capabilities, understanding of human activities, coordination of heterogeneous (infrared) cameras, operation in dangerous or inaccessible environments, and efficiency.
The multidisciplinary research team comprising of graduate students, undergraduate students, and visiting researchers is guided by Dr. Dario Pompili, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rutgers University. CPS lab is part of the Center for Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC), a NSF research center funded by the I/UCRC program that combines resources from universities, private companies, and the federal government to conduct fundamental research on making computer systems and applications more reliable, secure, and efficient.

MUMBAI: The remains of Hindi cinema’s finest stalwarts including Madhubala, Mohammed Rafi, Naushad and Sahir Ludhianvi have been disposed of and their tombs demolished to make space for new bodies. Authorities manning the Juhu Muslim cemetery where they are interred say they were forced to take this step, and that it is in consonance with Islamic law.
The Muslim burial ground located opposite Juhu Garden was a paradise of sorts, given that luminous artistes like Rafi, Madhubala, Naseem Bano, Ludhianvi, Naushad, Ali Sardar Jafri, Khwaja Ahmed Abbas, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Talat Mahmood and Parveen Babi were interred there.
In a process that began five years ago, the trust that manages the site began to dismantle the 21 tombstones on site and disposed of the bones and skulls without informing their families or seeking their consent. The ground was levelled by filling in truckloads of soil three-feet high to create another layer of graves. The latest celebrity to be buried in Juhu cemetery was Aamir Khan’s father Tahir Hussain on February 3. Laden with flowers, this fresh grave forms the second tier.
Fans of Mohammed Rafi who unfailingly arrive twice a year—on December 24 and July 31—to mark his birth and death anniversary now have no marker to go by. “A few years ago, the granite plaque was removed, so now we identify the coconut tree nearest to his grave and pray there,’’ says Binu Nair who runs a Rafi fan club in Mumbai.

Karim Benzema scored twice as Real Madrid eased to a third La Liga win of the season with a 4-1 victory over Leganes.
Gareth Bale opened the scoring for the European champions before Leganes drew level from the penalty spot, but Benzema struck twice in the second half before Sergio Ramos completed the scoring, also with a penalty.
The home side dominated the opening period and it was no surprise when they took the lead after 16 minutes.
Ramos picked out Dani Carvajal with a superb cross-field pass and when Carvajal headed the ball back across goal, Bale swivelled to produce a right-foot volley from 12 yards that wrong-footed goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar.
Cuellar did well to get a strong hand on the ball but could not prevent it crossing the line, with defender Unai Bustinza also failing in a desperate attempt to keep the ball out.
The Bernabeu crowd were probably expecting the floodgates to open but instead it was the visitors who struck next to get back on level terms when Javier Eraso was brought down in the area by Casemiro.
Casemiro's protests fell on deaf ears and Guido Carrillo stepped up to send debutant Thibaut Courtois the wrong way from the spot with 24 minutes on the clock.
Leganes were also the next to threaten another goal as Michael Santos, who had been booked moments earlier for a foul on Casemiro, broke clear and was allowed to run unchallenged towards the area, only to shoot tamely straight at Courtois.
That sparked Real into action and Carvajal's cross set up Bale for a header on target - but his effort lacked the power to trouble Cuellar and a long-range shot moments later flew high over the bar.
Benzema's shot from a narrow angle then drew a good save with his feet from Cuellar and with the last kick of the half, Marco Asensio also fired straight at the goalkeeper.
It took just two minutes of the second half for Real to have the ball in the net, although it took several more minutes and the intervention of VAR for the goal to stand.
Benzema's superb header into the bottom corner from Asensio's left-wing cross was initially ruled out for a foul by the forward on defender Jonathan Silva, but the replay showed Silva had been guilty of grappling with Benzema as the ball came over.
The referee eventually came to the correct decision and there was no doubt about Benzema's second of the night in the 61st minute, the 30-year-old finishing off a delightful team move with a shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.
Any faint hopes Leganes had of battling back into the contest were extinguished five minutes later when Bustinza needlessly brought down Asensio as he chased a ball which was about to go out of play, with Benzema denied the chance of a hat-trick as Ramos calmly scored from the spot.

Hundreds of supporters carrying welcome signs were waiting at Melbourne Airport as Al-Araibi arrived on a commercial flight direct from Thailand following his three-month detention in Bangkok while on honeymoon.
Former Australia captain Craig Foster has been leading the campaign for Mr Al-Araibi's release, who had been the subject of an extradition request to Bahrain where he faces a ten-year prison sentence for an alleged arson attack that damaged a police station.
Al-Araibi has always denied the charges, maintaining the case against him is politically motivated.
On arrival in Melbourne, Al-Araibi said: "I would like to say thanks to Australia.
Thailand had come under great pressure from Australia's government, sporting bodies and human rights groups to send Mr former Bahrain captain Al-Araibi back to Australia, where he has refugee status and plays semi-professional football for Pascoe Vale.
"So this is the man, probably the most famous young man in Australia right now," Foster said.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who wrote twice to his Thai counterpart Prayuth Chan-ocha in a bid to secure Mr al-Araibi's freedom, thanked Australians as well as Thai authorities.

A large tree of the prairies reaching a height of 80 feet or more and a trunk diameter of 5 feet, with a short body and heavy branches that form an open, spreading crown of dark green foliage.
Occurs on limestone soils in Central Texas as far west as Tom Green county, often on rich bottomlands along streams or hillsides and banks along spring-fed rivers. Also planted widely as a landscape tree throughout Texas.
Simple, alternate, 6" to 12" long and 3" to 6" wide, with 5 to 9 highly variable lobes that lack bristle-tips; lobes are divided by at least one pair of very deep sinuses, and the upper one-third of the leaf typically has a roughly-toothed or weakly-lobed margin.
Separate male and female flowers appear in spring on the same tree. Male flowers borne on a yellowish catkin 4" to 6" long; inconspicuous female flowers reddish in color.
An acorn, requiring a single season to mature, 1" to 2" long, ovoid, set deeply in a mossy-fringed cup that gives the species its common name.
Twigs and branches are thick, developing conspicuous corky ridges after the second year; bark is light gray, rough and breaks into small, narrow flakes on young trees, then develops very thick bark with deep fissures and narrow plates.
Heavy, hard, strong, tough and durable; used for lumber, crossties, and fuelwood.
White oak (Quercus alba) is found in East Texas and has smaller acorns without a fringed cup.
Acorns are prized by wildlife and can be used to make a coarse flour.

This unique Master of Information and Data Science program seamlessly brings UC Berkeley’s on-campus student experience online.
datascience@berkeley classes are taught by tenured UC Berkeley School of Information (I School) faculty, leading industry practitioners and post-doctoral scholars. Our state-of-the-art online platform features live classes, which are collaborative seminars driven by problem solving and discussion. Our online classroom has no back row; faculty and students join in every conversation to create a rich learning experience. Request information.
Access to class recordings is available 24/7.
Classrooms can be used for group meetings and faculty office hours.
Between their weekly live classes, datascience@berkeley students complete coursework on their own time. Coursework is designed to be immersive and dynamic, engaging students in materials that prepare them for classroom discussions with their peers and instructors. Our faculty have worked with world-class course developers, creating an I School curriculum that is designed specifically for an online learning environment. This content includes dynamic videos, interactive case studies, self-paced lectures, and collaborative activities that foster teamwork.
MIDS students watch recorded lectures, which are discussed during live sessions. This shows how I School Professor Coye Chesire incorporates a PowerPoint presentation into a recorded lecture.
By showing experts debating and discussing a topic, professors are able to demonstrate multiple points of view from those working in the field. In this example, Professor Coye Chesire and data science experts discuss how to operationalize a complex construct.
I School faculty create video case studies for students to explore. Here, Professor Steve Weber examines the Cuban Missile Crisis as a discussion-starter about making decisions in crisis situations.
Through this completely revolutionary learning tool, professors can engage with students through assignments. Students are able to comment on the content they watch, and even receive feedback from professors and classmates. In this example Professor Steve Weber addresses online students in a conversation about decision-making in a crisis.
datascience@berkeley students will attend an immersion program on the UC Berkeley campus or in other locations relevant to data science. Offered three times a year, each immersion is custom crafted to deliver additional learning, networking, and community-building opportunities. During these three- to four-day programs, students will meet faculty and classmates while attending lectures and workshops, participating in networking events with industry leaders, and taking part in social networking mixers. Read about our immersion.
datascience@berkeley is hosted on an online platform that facilitates collaboration and leads to real connections. On the platform, students create profiles just as with any social networking tool, and the same level of networking and connection develops. Students can get to know one another outside of class, meet for study sessions, work on group projects, or even attend a virtual happy hour.
Personal profiles help students keep in touch.
Classmates collaborate in small groups.
Students socialize outside of class.
Starting in July 2018, all datascience@berkeley students will receive a Global Access subscription to WeWork workspaces. WeWork is a global community of workspaces that stretch over 240 locations in more than 20 countries. You will be able to utilize any WeWork workspace as a go-to study space, a resource while traveling, or as a place to meet with classmates you connect with in your city.
As a datascience@berkeley student, you will have access to all WeWork locations, events, and amenities, including: Wi-Fi, printing and copying, private rooms, refreshments, on-site support, etc.
Support begins the moment you request information about datascience@berkeley and continues beyond graduation. A dedicated Admissions Counselor will assist you throughout your application process. Once enrolled, you will receive academic and tech support. After graduation, you join the I School’s global alumni network. Learn more about student support.

We combined a satellite-derived Leaf Area Index (LAI) dataset and a gridded climate dataset to analyse trends in vegetation activity and their correlation with climate variability in China between 1982 and 1998. Vegetation activity over the growing season increased 11.03% in China during the 17-year period, which is broadly consistent with the greening trend in the northern high latitudes in Eurasia and North America shown in previous studies. Approximately 99×106 ha of croplands and 35×106 ha of forest exhibited significant upward trends in growing season LAI, and accounted for 53% and 19% of the total vegetated area with greening trends, respectively. Temperature was the leading climatic factor controlling greening patterns. However, trends in agricultural practices, such as increased use of high-yield crops and application of chemical fertilizers, along with land-use changes such as afforestation and reforestation probably made a greater contribution to the greening trend than temperature. Increased vegetation activity in forests suggests an increasing carbon stock in forest biomass in China, which supports previous studies based on satellite sensor data and forest inventory data.

A Preview of Trevor Clifton’s AAA Debut – Now, Where Did I Put My Kleenex?
Tonight in Iowa, pitcher Trevor Clifton will make his AAA pitching debut. I am very excited to watch him pitch. Now that he’s just one step away from Chicago, it’s a bittersweet night. His journey to AAA has been thrilling and frustrating as he’s learned to adapt at every level, something he will need to do in Chicago. Wow! He’s that close. Sorry, I got a bit distracted by how far the 23-year-old has come since he was a 12th round pick back in 2013.
It’s easy to remember when you see a prospect for the very first time, especially when you are excited about their talent. When Trevor Clifton debuted for the Boise Hawks in 2014, the excitement of broadcaster Mike Safford came through over the Internet. It wasn’t until Clifton pitched at Hillsboro that July did I get to see him for the very first time. Once I got past those uniforms, there was a lot to like.
What was evident early what was the potential. He had a mid 90s fastball, a looping curve back then, and a lot of room to fill out. He was a pretty skinny 19-year-old. When he got to South Bend the next year, Clifton put on some weight but began to struggle a bit in June of 2015. After a suspension in a bench-clearing brawl, Clifton came back and began a stretch of great pitching that summer that lasted for two years where he ascended to the top 10 on most Cub prospect lists. He was even named the Cubs Pitcher of the Year in 2016 while at Myrtle Beach after a season in which he put up a 2.72 ERA and struck out 129 in 109 innings.
Last year at Tennessee, he had a great first half with a 2.84 ERA in 12 starts and was named a Southern League All-Star. It looked as though he was about a month away from heading to Iowa. Then all the wheels fell off. He struggled most of July and into August before he was shut down for the season after his August 21st start..
It’s a bit of a change to go from a six man rotation down to five. But for Clifton that wasn’t the issue. Part of me thought it might be something mechanical was going on or maybe something just got in his head. Whatever the reason, It doesn’t matter now. He’s bounced back.
Clifton started 2018 with a decent April in which he had a 3.96 ERA. Outside of one inning, he gave up just 3 runs in the other 24 frames (1.13 ERA). For May, he put up a 2.36 ERA in 26.2 IP with 25 Ks.
To be frank, 2018 Trevor Clifton looks like Trevor Clifton of old. The guy that really took off in July 2015 looks to be like the same guy pitching for Tennessee in 2018. The curve ball is a little tighter, his change has a little more fade, and his fastball still explodes about 10 feet from the plate.
Not every prospect’s journey to the big leagues is a straight shot. What I like this year is there seems to be some sort of maturity going on. He’s able to get past mental hurdles when he gives up one or two runs to start the game and then he just settles down and can go for five more innings of shutout baseball. He’s not been an arm that will give up a run here or there. Teams either hit him or they don’t. They either get to him early or they get to him late or they don’t get to him at all.
I loved how hard he has worked this off-season to get back to where he needs to be to pitch good baseball. I’ve always enjoyed the swings against him. Seeing him live, he’s at his best when he’s loose, fluid, and not really thinking about what he’s doing. He’s just getting the signal and throwing it to the catcher and letting his natural abilities do what they do. The biggest thing that he has going for him is that he can be a dominant pitcher because of the late movement on all his pitches. He can throw 93 or 95, but those numbers don’t matter.
When he takes the mound tonight, I will be excited to see how he does. I might be a bit misty.

39 photos of this Greek island in the eastern Aegean close to the coast of Turkey. I took them at Christmas 2008 - New Year 2009. Although there was lots of sunshine there was a very cold northerly wind and we needed our fleeces.
Statue of Themistoklis Sofoulis, Vathy, Samos, Greece, 25 December 2008. Much of Greece won independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829 but not Samos. It was united with Greece in 1913, after Sofoulis had led a successful uprising against the Turks.

What did Albany look like the year you were born?
Click through the slideshow to see what Albany looked like the year you were born.
Albany Center Market at Lyon Block building on Grand St. between Beaver St. and Hudson Ave. 1935, in Albany, N.Y. The Times Union Center is housed at this site today. Between Beaver St. and Hudson Ave. where Grand St. once ran. 1930s Historic streets and buildings.
As Albany changes and grows, photo archives help us remember the journey this city took through the decades. Through all the construction, the snow, and the growing population - Albany is home to many.
If you grew up here, you might feel nostalgia from these photos that show the old clothing, vehicles, streets and facades of buildings that still exist today but have changed to fit modern times.
If you moved here from another city, here's your chance to discover what Albany used to look like. Perhaps you'll even recognize a few of these places as the same ones you may have walked or driven past before.

No such rule prescribed under subsection (a) shall provide for a rate which exceeds the incremental cost to the electric utility of alternative electric energy.
(2) shall not discriminate against the qualifying cogenerators or qualifying small power producers.
For purposes of this section, the term "incremental cost of alternative electric energy" means, with respect to electric energy purchased from a qualifying cogenerator or qualifying small power producer, the cost to the electric utility of the electric energy which, but for the purchase from such cogenerator or small power producer, such utility would generate or purchase from another source.
(1) Not later than 1 year after November 9, 1978, and from time to time thereafter, the Commission shall, after consultation with representatives of State regulatory authorities, electric utilities, owners of cogeneration facilities and owners of small power production facilities, and after public notice and a reasonable opportunity for interested persons (including State and Federal agencies) to submit oral as well as written data, views, and arguments, prescribe rules under which geothermal small power production facilities of not more than 80 megawatts capacity, qualifying cogeneration facilities, and qualifying small power production facilities are exempted in whole or part from the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.], from the Public Utility Holding Company Act,2 from State laws and regulations respecting the rates, or respecting the financial or organizational regulation, of electric utilities, or from any combination of the foregoing, if the Commission determines such exemption is necessary to encourage cogeneration and small power production.
(2) No qualifying small power production facility (other than a qualifying small power production facility which is an eligible solar, wind, waste, or geothermal facility as defined in section 3(17)(E) of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 796(17)(E)]) which has a power production capacity which, together with any other facilities located at the same site (as determined by the Commission), exceeds 30 megawatts, or 80 megawatts for a qualifying small power production facility using geothermal energy as the primary energy source, may be exempted under rules under paragraph (1) from any provision of law or regulation referred to in paragraph (1), except that any qualifying small power production facility which produces electric energy solely by the use of biomass as a primary energy source, may be exempted by the Commission under such rules from the Public Utility Holding Company Act 2 and from State laws and regulations referred to in such paragraph (1).
(C) any license or permit requirement under part I of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.] any provision under such Act related to such a license or permit requirement, or the necessary authorities for enforcement of any such requirement.
(1) Beginning on or before the date one year after any rule is prescribed by the Commission under subsection (a) or revised under such subsection, each State regulatory authority shall, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, implement such rule (or revised rule) for each electric utility for which it has ratemaking authority.
(2) Beginning on or before the date one year after any rule is prescribed by the Commission under subsection (a) or revised under such subsection, each nonregulated electric utility shall, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, implement such rule (or revised rule).
(1) Judicial review may be obtained respecting any proceeding conducted by a State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility for purposes of implementing any requirement of a rule under subsection (a) in the same manner, and under the same requirements, as judicial review may be obtained under section 2633 of this title in the case of a proceeding to which section 2633 of this title applies.
(2) Any person (including the Secretary) may bring an action against any electric utility, qualifying small power producer, or qualifying cogenerator to enforce any requirement established by a State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility pursuant to subsection (f). Any such action shall be brought only in the manner, and under the requirements, as provided under section 2633 of this title with respect to an action to which section 2633 of this title applies.
(1) For purposes of enforcement of any rule prescribed by the Commission under subsection (a) with respect to any operations of an electric utility, a qualifying cogeneration facility or a qualifying small power production facility which are subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under part II of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 824 et seq.], such rule shall be treated as a rule under the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.]. Nothing in subsection (g) shall apply to so much of the operations of an electric utility, a qualifying cogeneration facility or a qualifying small power production facility as are subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under part II of the Federal Power Act.
(ii) an action under paragraph (1).
(B) Any electric utility, qualifying cogenerator, or qualifying small power producer may petition the Commission to enforce the requirements of subsection (f) as provided in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph. If the Commission does not initiate an enforcement action under subparagraph (A) against a State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility within 60 days following the date on which a petition is filed under this subparagraph with respect to such authority, the petitioner may bring an action in the appropriate United States district court to require such State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility to comply with such requirements, and such court may issue such injunctive or other relief as may be appropriate. The Commission may intervene as a matter of right in any such action.
No contract between a Federal agency and any electric utility for the sale of electric energy by such Federal agency for resale which is entered into after November 9, 1978, may contain any provision which will have the effect of preventing the implementation of any rule under this section with respect to such utility. Any provision in any such contract which has such effect shall be null and void.
At the time of issuance of the license or exemption for the project, the Commission finds that the project will not have substantial adverse effects on the environment, including recreation and water quality. Such finding shall be made by the Commission after taking into consideration terms and conditions imposed under either paragraph (3) of this subsection or section 10 of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 803] (whichever is appropriate as required by that Act [16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.] or the Electric Consumers Protection Act of 1986) and compliance with other environmental requirements applicable to the project.
(A) Any segment of a natural watercourse which is included in (or designated for potential inclusion in) a State or national wild and scenic river system.
(B) Any segment of a natural watercourse which the State has determined, in accordance with applicable State law, to possess unique natural, recreational, cultural, or scenic attributes which would be adversely affected by hydroelectric development.
The project meets the terms and conditions set by fish and wildlife agencies under the same procedures as provided for under section 30(c) of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 823a(c)].
For purposes of this section, the terms "small power production facility", "qualifying small power production facility", "qualifying small power producer", "primary energy source", "cogeneration facility", "qualifying cogeneration facility", and "qualifying cogenerator" have the respective meanings provided for such terms under section 3(17) and (18) of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 796(17), (18)].
(C) wholesale markets for the sale of capacity and electric energy that are, at a minimum, of comparable competitive quality as markets described in subparagraphs (A) and (B).
(A) After August 8, 2005, no electric utility shall be required pursuant to this section to enter into a new contract or obligation to purchase from or sell electric energy to a facility that is not an existing qualifying cogeneration facility unless the facility meets the criteria for qualifying cogeneration facilities established by the Commission pursuant to the rulemaking required by subsection (n).
(ii) had filed with the Commission a notice of self-certification, self recertification or an application for Commission certification under 18 CFR 292.207 prior to the date on which the Commission issues the final rule required by subsection (n).
Any electric utility may file an application with the Commission for relief from the mandatory purchase obligation pursuant to this subsection on a service territory-wide basis. Such application shall set forth the factual basis upon which relief is requested and describe why the conditions set forth in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) of this subsection have been met. After notice, including sufficient notice to potentially affected qualifying cogeneration facilities and qualifying small power production facilities, and an opportunity for comment, the Commission shall make a final determination within 90 days of such application regarding whether the conditions set forth in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) have been met.
At any time after the Commission makes a finding under paragraph (3) relieving an electric utility of its obligation to purchase electric energy, a qualifying cogeneration facility, a qualifying small power production facility, a State agency, or any other affected person may apply to the Commission for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to purchase electric energy under this section. Such application shall set forth the factual basis upon which the application is based and describe why the conditions set forth in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) of this subsection are no longer met. After notice, including sufficient notice to potentially affected utilities, and opportunity for comment, the Commission shall issue an order within 90 days of such application reinstating the electric utility's obligation to purchase electric energy under this section if the Commission finds that the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (A), (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) which relieved the obligation to purchase, are no longer met.
(B) the electric utility is not required by State law to sell electric energy in its service territory.
Nothing in this subsection affects the rights or remedies of any party under any contract or obligation, in effect or pending approval before the appropriate State regulatory authority or non-regulated electric utility on August 8, 2005, to purchase electric energy or capacity from or to sell electric energy or capacity to a qualifying cogeneration facility or qualifying small power production facility under this Act (including the right to recover costs of purchasing electric energy or capacity).
(A) The Commission shall issue and enforce such regulations as are necessary to ensure that an electric utility that purchases electric energy or capacity from a qualifying cogeneration facility or qualifying small power production facility in accordance with any legally enforceable obligation entered into or imposed under this section recovers all prudently incurred costs associated with the purchase.
(B) A regulation under subparagraph (A) shall be enforceable in accordance with the provisions of law applicable to enforcement of regulations under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.).
(iii) continuing progress in the development of efficient electric energy generating technology.
(B) The rule issued pursuant to paragraph (1)(A) of this subsection shall be applicable only to facilities that seek to sell electric energy pursuant to this section.

"(2) Subsection (j) shall not apply to the project if the application for license or exemption for the project was filed, and accepted for filing by the Commission, before the enactment of this Act [Oct. 16, 1986].
"(3) Paragraphs (1) and (3) of such subsection (j) shall not apply if the application for the license or exemption for the project was filed before the enactment of this Act [Oct. 16, 1986] and accepted for filing by the Commission (in accordance with the Commission's regulations and procedures in effect on January 1, 1986, including those relating to the requirement for environmental consultation) within 3 years after such enactment.
"(4)(A) Paragraph (3) of subsection (j) shall not apply for projects where the license or exemption application was filed after enactment of this Act [Oct. 16, 1986] if, based on a petition filed by the applicant for such project within 18 months after such enactment, the Commission determines (after public notice and opportunity for public comment of at least 45 days) that the applicant has demonstrated that he had committed (prior to the enactment of this Act) substantial monetary resources directly related to the development of the project and to the diligent and timely completion of all requirements of the Commission for filing an acceptable application for license or exemption.

The Commission shall make a final finding under such paragraph (1) at the time the license or exemption is issued. If the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has notified the State of its initial finding and the State has not taken any action described in paragraph (2) of section 210(j) before such final finding, the failure to take such action shall be the basis for a rebuttable presumption that there is not a substantial adverse effect on the environment related to natural, recreational, cultural, or scenic attributes for purposes of such finding.
"(D) If a petition under subparagraph (A) is denied, all provisions of section 210(j) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 824a–3(j)] shall apply to the project regardless of when the license or exemption is issued."
Pub. L. 102–486, title XIII, §1335, Oct. 24, 1992, 106 Stat. 2984 , provided that: "Nothing in section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–617) [16 U.S.C. 824a–3] requires a State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility to treat a cost reasonably identified to be incurred or to have been incurred in the construction or operation of a facility or a project which has been selected by the Department of Energy and provided Federal funding pursuant to the Clean Coal Program authorized by Public Law 98–473 [see Tables for classification] as an incremental cost of alternative electric energy."
"(a) The amendments made by section 643(b) of the Energy Security Act (Public Law 96–294) [amending this section] and any regulations issued to implement such amendment shall apply to qualifying small power production facilities (as such term is defined in the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.]) using solar energy as the primary energy source to the same extent such amendments and regulations apply to qualifying small power production facilities using geothermal energy as the primary energy source, except that nothing in this Act [see Tables for classification] shall preclude the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from revising its regulations to limit the availability of exemptions authorized under this Act as it determines to be required in the public interest and consistent with its obligations and duties under section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 [this section].
"(1) An application for certification of the facility as a qualifying small power production facility.
"(2) Notice that the facility meets the requirements for qualification."
"(1) The Commission shall conduct a study (in accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)]) of whether the benefits of section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 824a–3] and section 210 of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 824i] should be applied to hydroelectric power facilities utilizing new dams or diversions (within the meaning of section 210(k) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978).
"(2) The study under this subsection shall take into consideration the need for such new dams or diversions for power purposes, the environmental impacts of such new dams and diversions (both with and without the application of the amendments made by this Act to sections 4, 10, and 30 of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 797, 803, 823a] and section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 824a–3]), the environmental effects of such facilities alone and in combination with other existing or proposed dams or diversions on the same waterway, the intent of Congress to encourage and give priority to the application of section 210 of Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to existing dams and diversions rather than such new dams or diversions, and the impact of such section 210 on the rates paid by electric power consumers.
"(3) The study under this subsection shall be initiated within 3 months after enactment of this Act [Oct. 16, 1986] and completed as promptly as practicable.
"(4) A report containing the results of the study conducted under this subsection shall be submitted to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the United States House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate while both Houses are in session.
"(5) The report submitted under paragraph (4) shall include a determination (and the basis thereof) by the Commission, based on the study and a public hearing and subject to review under section 313(b) of the Federal Power Act [16 U.S.C. 825l(b)], whether any of the benefits referred to in paragraph (1) should be available for such facilities and whether applications for preliminary permits (or licenses where no preliminary permit has been issued) for such small power production facilities utilizing new dams or diversions should be accepted by the Commission after the moratorium period specified in subsection (e). The report shall include such other administrative and legislative recommendations as the Commission deems appropriate.
"(6) If the study under this subsection has not been completed within 18 months after its initiation, the Commission shall notify the Committees referred to in paragraph (4) of the reasons for the delay and specify a date when it will be completed and a report submitted."
"(2) a project described in paragraphs (2), (3), or (4) of subsection (b) [set out as a note above].
For purposes of this subsection, the term 'moratorium period' means the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending at the expiration of the first full session of Congress after the session during which the report under subsection (d) [set out as a note above] has been submitted to the Congress."

I am familiar with Git and web development so hopefully I won't have many problems with this.
In all my life I have only used a laser cutter once. So this bit of the session was quite exciting for me. I have to experiment with the laser cutter and to make a press-fit construction kit with cardboard. I also have to cut something on the vinyl cutter.
I wanted to do something useful and I have always wanted to buy one of this jewellery holders for my earrings, necklaces and bracelets. So I thought making one of this with an original shape, a cactus, would be fun and if I managed not to set the machine on fire and make a good design, I could possibly even use it!
We were asked to design the press-fit construction kit parametrized in order to be able to modify the thickness or size of the pieces all at once if needed. I have some experience with Illustrator as a design tool but very few knowledge on other platforms such as Rhino or SolidWorks. I really wanted to learn one of this two or at least try to play a little bit with them. I found out that there was a new version of Grasshopper for Rhino for Mac. So I decided I would try to learn a bit of Rhino and Grasshopper for this assignment.
I went through some of the Rhino tutorials online and found the tool very interesting and easy to use at first. I managed to get the first basic design of the cactus in a couple of hours. [yes, I know, sounds like long but remember, I didn't know Rhino at all! Easy, pals!].
Yes, I know... But again! Easy, pals, it was my first grasshopper experience! And it actually worked. I had a node with the thickness of the material that you could change in order to adjust the design.
Once the design was done, time came to play a bit with the machine. First of all, we tried to familiarize ourselves with the laser cutter. We printed some small pieces and tried to change the settings on the software. We learnt the concepts of vector and raster to cut the material and the different parameters needed to print with the different laser cutters: power, frequency, etc.
Once I felt a bit more comfortable using the machine, I decide to start printing my cactus design.
First attempts were not very good. When I exported my design and imported it into CorelDraw to print it, the lines were duplicated like 10 times. I'm still not sure why because they were not duplicated in Rhino [promise. I double and triple checked]. So basically, the machine started going over the same line for 10 consecutive times which made the cardboard catch fire eventually... Calm down, pals. It was not a big fire. I learned later how to remove the unwanted lines from CorelDraw by breaking apart the curves.
Another problem I had was that the machine was not printing the first curve of my design. So the first model I printed, had a part that was unattached from the cardboard and I had to cut it with a cutter.
The parametrized design allowed me to change the thickness of the cardboard in all the joints and was very helpful to get the pieces with the correct size. So I didn't have to print it a lot of times in order to get it right.
This is me getting the machine ready to print and talking catalan [sorry, I didn't know I was gonna upload the video, otherwise I would have spoken in english].
I finally got a good result with the laser cutter [good enough to feel proud of myself].
I later played a little bit with the vynil cutter. I wanted to create a nice sticker for my laptop and I chose a deer. I imported the model to CorelDraw and modified it in order to have an outline of the shape. I used black material, placed it on the machine and proceed to print the deer.
Try to design the cactus in 3D first instead of designing the pieces separately. This gave me a nice view of how it would look like.
Choose a design that didn't have repetitive patterns. Which meant that I had to put more effort on creating each part of the cactus to be able to have it parametrized.
The joints at the bottom don't fit perfectly on the base.

Wayne Police Department detectives solved a December 2015 cold case involving a violent invasion of a home in the swanky Pines Lake neighborhood.
WAYNE — DNA technology and fingerprint analysis helped detectives crack a 2015 cold case involving a violent invasion of a Pines Lake home, police say.
Three men and a woman, who was a juvenile at the time, were arrested and charged in connection to the incident that occurred a week before Christmas, said Detective Capt. Laurence Martin.
The captain said the investigation is ongoing, and more arrests are expected.
The suspects are William "Tarzan" Mariano, 22, of Wayne; Alexander Roller-Huarotte, 22, of Paterson; and Aaron Valdivieso, 23, of Paterson. As of Tuesday, they were being held at Passaic County Jail. Martin would not name the 20-year-old woman.
The plot for the home invasion, carried out on Dec. 17, 2015, was to rob a drug dealer who lived in a home on Pines Lake, an upscale neighborhood in the northern part of the township, the captain said.
However, Martin said, the suspects went to the wrong house and victimized an innocent family preparing to celebrate the holidays.
The captain said each suspect faces two counts of kidnapping, as well as charges of aggravated assault, armed robbery, burglary, false imprisonment and theft, among other offenses. He said the woman was charged as a minor.
Detective Vincent Ricciardelli, of the police department's special operations squad, reopened the case this year, Martin said.
Ricciardelli used forensic science and "old-fashioned" detective work that took him to the streets of New York City and Paterson to solve the case, the captain said.
"This case was never closed," Martin said. "It was constantly reviewed by investigators for new ideas or evidence."
During the evening home invasion, the captain said, a juvenile resident was assaulted and threatened at gunpoint, and an adult resident held down, as their home was ransacked.
Electronics and wrapped Christmas gifts were stolen before the suspects fled, Martin said.
Police responded to the scene, but the suspects were not found.
The Passaic County Sheriff's Office and New York City Police Department assisted this month with apprehension of the suspects.
Anyone with information about this case should call the Wayne Police Department detective bureau, at 973-633-3553.

Hello and welcome to Easy Wildflowers.
This is a work in progress. It is intended as an Identification guide to the most common wildflowers in the UK. At the time of this update (Christmas 2014) there are only about twenty flowers listed but it is my plan to have this guide working in 2015 and I am trying to make sure that I get the flowers on here before they appear in the field.
I am trying to make finding a flower as easy as possible and so I have arranged them first by colour and then according to size.
When it comes to size there is a problem. Many non-botanists would recognize that a flower head like Hogweed is in fact made up of many small flowers, so a Hogweed is smaller than a Wood Anemone even though the flower head is much bigger but how many people would know that the ray floret of a composite flower like a Dandelion is much smaller than a Buttercup? For now I think that I will treat a flower head as a single flower when I order them on the page.
This is a lovely site. The text is very informative and the photos illustrate it beautifully. I wish you all the very best as you expand it.

“TexasOne is an important economic development tool that brings together employers and local communities to market Texas dynamically and competitively across the country and around the world,” Nashed said.
Sematech contributed an additional $27,000 to TexasOne in March 2007. Sematech representatives did not respond to a request for comment.
Among TexasOne members that contribute $25,000 or more a year to the program, three companies have qualified for a combined $13.75 million in sales tax refunds through the Texas Enterprise Zone Program, an economic development tool operated out of the Texas comptroller’s office that provides tax refunds to companies that create and retain jobs in “economically distressed areas” of the state. Perry has touted the program as being among the state’s top economic development incentive tools.
The exact amounts paid to companies through the program are confidential under the state’s tax code.
Ryan is a prominent Perry donor and helped found Make Us Great Again, a Super PAC that supported the governor’s unsuccessful presidential run in 2012. Representatives for Ryan declined to comment on whether his company’s involvement in TexasOne or his contributions to Perry presented a conflict with his state benefits.
Such examples of the overlap among donors to TexasOne and Perry and state benefits they’ve received “fit a pattern of pay-to-play politics” in Texas that have been common under Perry’s long tenure as governor, said McDonald of Texans for Public Justice.
Critics have long taken issue with the governor’s appointments, saying they often go to individuals who have donated heavily to Perry’s campaigns. Perry’s office has reiterated that political giving doesn’t influence decisions on appointments.
Since his ill-fated 2012 campaign, Perry has ramped up his job-recruitment efforts through TexasOne, spending much of his time on the road on economic development trips, particularly to states led by Democratic governors.

Whenever a club loses their grip on their League Two status, the comments you hear first from pundits tend to focus on how infamously difficult it can be to mount an immediate challenge to return.
We have seen names like Luton Town, Cambridge United, Cheltenham Town, Barnet, Grimsby Town, Bristol Rovers and Lincoln City all being reunited with league football in recent seasons, however. Here in January 2018, the race is finely poised in the Vanarama National League as notable clubs of Football League yesteryear tussle with what would be tantalising new kids on the EFL block in 2018/19.
On the brink of the 30-game mark in the National League, it is Macclesfield Town sitting top of the tree, four points clear of Gary Waddock’s Aldershot Town. John Askey’s Silkmen have emerged as a top contender as the campaign has progressed, with contributions like the 11 goals from Scott Wilson giving the Cheshire outfit genuine hope that their six-year exile from the EFL may be reaching its conclusion.
Perched just above big clubs in Wrexham (4th) and Tranmere Rovers (5th) at present, are a side who have never before reached the league – Sutton United. The U’s made headlines last season as they knocked out Cheltenham, AFC Wimbledon and Leeds United in an FA Cup run that saw them only exit after a 2-0 home loss to Arsenal in the last 16. There was also the sideshow of the club’s goalkeeping coach Wayne Shaw eating a pie in that televised Gunners clash, an act which saw him let go by the Yellows and later fined £375 and banned for two months by The FA for breaching betting rules.
Boreham Wood have been ignited by the firepower of Bruno Andrade, the Portuguese attacker and former QPR youngster who continues to be linked with a big move. At present, the 24-year-old remains with The Wood, and as his side lie in 6th, the prospect of making his march back up the ladder with Luke Garrard’s charges very much burns bright. Below them are Dover, guided by a wise and experienced head in Chris Kinnear, while they also boast the best defence in the league (23 conceded) after Wrexham (22).
Dagenham & Redbridge, with another of the game’s elder statesmen at the helm in John Still, are among a well-populated chasing pack which includes, primarily, Bromley, Ebbsfleet United and AFC Fylde. But for National League North playoff heartache last season, the Class of ’92-backed Salford City could be chasing the fourth tier at this point, though another handsomely-resourced side from the North West are in that position as we speak.
AFC Fylde are led by the defender who garnered some attention as Tranmere Rovers’ long-throw specialist during those cup runs around the turn of the century, ex-defender Dave Challinor. He has presided over three promotions in the past few years, and even though the Coasters, who are backed by local businessman David Haythornwaite, have earmarked 2022 as their time to join English football’s 92, the 15 goals of the division’s top scorer Danny Rowe are one key reason why it could be four years early.
An outside bet on Maidenhead or Maidstone United could also prove vindicated come the season’s end, or perhaps even Andy Hessenthaler’s Eastleigh for a really spectacular crashing of the party after a season of struggle prior to the ex-midfield terrier’s recent appointment. Top spot really is still anyone’s for the taking, while the nerve-jangling uncertainty the playoffs bring speaks for itself by now. In a league offering a melting pot of grit, skill, unpredictability and far more besides, there could be a pretty penny to be made on backing a team or two from here. Why not put your BetVictor Promo Code to very good use?

Defense attorney Barry Scheck shows the jury a picture of a second shoe imprint that he believes could be that of a second assailant during the O.J. Simpson murder trial in Los Angeles.
Although we're not conscious of it all the time, every movement we make -- whether it's on foot or in a vehicle -- leaves some kind of impression. For example, a criminal walking into a building to rob a bank and then screeching off in a getaway car can't avoid walking on the floor or leaving tire tread marks. A murderer would also have a hard time entering and exiting his victim's home without stepping on a rug or touching the ground outside.
When we walk into a room, we're usually not thinking about our footprints. Unless we're tracking in mud or rainwater and making a huge mess, it's nearly impossible to see the traces we leave with each step. But several things happen when our shoes touch the ground.
Perhaps most surprisingly, even clean, dry shoes can leave an impression on a hard surface by creating electrostatic charges. Simply sprinkling fingerprint dusting powder over recent footprints will attract the powder to the charge and create a visual image of the impression. Unfortunately, residual static charges don't last very long and can be easily upset, so forensic experts rely more on the deformation of surface areas. Shoe impressions on materials such as soil, sand or snow can produce a largely three-dimensional footprint. If you've ever driven a car through the mud, you've probably seen the clear scar the tires have left in the earth. Carpet or grass, however, will rebound and regain a flat surface more easily, and an impression on these types of surfaces will only last a short time. Still, stains and other residue will leave two-dimensional marks and create a recognizable image.
A forensic scientist analyzes tire tracks taken from the scene of a hit-and-run car crime.
Tire marks work the same way as footprints, although tire marks are much easier to identify. Initially, a tire mark can tell an investigator the brand of tire a criminal used, but that only narrows things down slightly. Further inspection, however, can reveal more -- defects and wear on a tire tread caused by nails, gravel, patches and alignment problems can identify a unique set of tires.
Lastly, tool marks are created when a tool comes into contact with another object or surface and leaves a significant impression. Suspects typically use wire cutters, crowbars and screwdrivers to cut and pry their way into windows and doors. All of these tools leave distinctive marks that investigators can easily identify -- almost as if the tool itself were leaving a fingerprint at the crime scene.
We know that criminals can leave these traces behind them after they commit a crime, but how easy is it to detect them? And how do experts record them for later analysis? To read about preserving impression evidence, pry open the next page.

After sitting out the first round last year, the Minnesota Wild currently have the 24th overall pick in this month’s NHL draft.
Minnesota has picked in the first round 17 times, beginning in 2000 with one-time Czech star Marian Gaborik. Most recently, the Wild selected University of Wisconsin forward Luke Kunin with the 15th pick in the 2016 draft.
2000 — The first draft of the new millennium was underwhelming: Goaltender Rick DiPietro went No. 1 overall, while the first round produced just five All-Stars. However, the first draft pick in Wild history was among 2000’s success stories. Gaborik remains the franchise scoring leader after potting 219 goals in a Wild sweater, a record that Koivu is only now approaching, nearly nine years to the day after Gaborik’s departure.
2001 — Koivu stayed in Finland for a few years, finally making his Wild debut in 2006. The Finnish import was worth the wait, becoming an alternate captain a few years later. He was named the Wild’s first permanent captain (the position had previously rotated regularly) in 2009, and has held the “C” ever since. Now 35, Koivu is the franchise leader in games played (925), points (659) and assists (466).
2002 — The Wild’s third consecutive top-10 pick never reached the high bar set by the first two. A speedy and creative playmaker, Bouchard had 50-plus points in three consecutive seasons from 2005-08. However, Bouchard also suffered from concussion issues, missing all but one game of the 2009-10 season. He played sporadically for three more seasons with the Wild, eventually signing in the Swiss league after stops in Chicago and New York.
2003 — Widely considered one of the most talented groups in NHL history, the class of 2003 was loaded. Every player selected in the first round would go on to appear in at least one NHL game, while 17 became All-Stars, including Burns and a who’s who of future Wild talent: Eric Staal, Zach Parise, Ryan Suter and Thomas Vanek. Drafted as a forward, Burns moved back to the blue line after the draft, where he developed into one of the Wild’s top defensemen. He was ultimately traded to the San Jose Sharks during the 2011 draft, landing forwards Charlie Coyle, Devin Setoguchi and a first-round pick. More on the latter in a moment.
2004 — Thelan went unsigned by the Wild after appearing in just one game for Minnesota’s AHL affiliate, eventually catching on in the ECHL. He retired in 2011. Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk was selected two picks later by the Edmonton Oilers.
2005 — The Wild used their highest pick since drafting Gaborik on Pouliot, who had posted back-to-back point-per-game seasons in the OHL. He was never able to replicate that success in the pros, appearing in just 65 games in four seasons with the Wild.
2006 — Minnesota selected Sheppard after missing out on future stars like Jonathan Toews, Nicklas Backstrom and Phil Kessel. Sheppard spent three seasons with the Wild, registering just 49 points in 224 games, before being traded to the Sharks.
2007 — Gillies appeared in just 89 games in three seasons for the Wild before he was claimed off waivers by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2012.
2008 — This draft is remembered for star defensemen Drew Doughty, Alex Pietrangelo and Erik Karlsson. Unfortunately, the Wild had to settle for Cuma, who appeared in just one NHL game. Future Wild forward Tyler Ennis was selected three picks later by the Buffalo Sabres.
2009 — The Wild have a complex relationship with their 2009 pick. A Minnesota native, Leddy was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks less than a year after the draft, and would go on to help his new team to a Stanley Cup. The Wild received defensemen Cam Barker and Kim Johnsson in exchange, neither of whom made a significant impact in Minnesota.
2010 — Granlund spent two more seasons in Finland before joining the Wild, debuting in 2012. His effectiveness increased dramatically in his fifth season, when the Wild moved the crafty playmaker from center to the wing. He scored 26 goals and finished the season with a career-high 69 points, then registered 67 points the following season.
2011 — The Wild had two first-round picks thanks to the Burns trade. They landed a solid defenseman with the first. Brodin has developed into a top-four defender with the Wild, and routinely mans Minnesota’s second pairing behind Jared Spurgeon and Ryan Suter. The Wild’s second first-rounder was less successful. Phillips never appeared in a game for the Wild, spending two seasons with their AHL affiliate. He was eventually traded to the Boston Bruins.
2012 — Defensemen were selected with eight of the first 10 picks in 2012, and the Wild got in on the action. Dumba has been among the more successful members of that group. Now 23, Dumba leads all 2012 defenseman with 44 career goals.
2013 — The Wild dealt their first-round pick and other assets to the Sabres for forward Jason Pominville. The Sabres selected defenseman Nikita Zadorov, now of the Colorado Avalanche.
2014 — Tuch spent two seasons at Boston College before signing with the Wild. He made six appearances for the Wild during the 2016-17 season, spending much of the year in the AHL. The Wild dealt Tuch to the Vegas Golden Knights during the 2017 expansion draft.
2015 — Eriksson Ek made his way to North America in time for the 2016-17 season, appearing in 15 games for the Wild. He returned as a full-time NHLer the following year after a brief stint in the AHL, scoring six goals and adding 10 assists in 75 games.
2016 — A star for the Badgers, Kunin signed an amateur tryout contract and joined the Wild’s AHL affiliate for the tail end of the 2016-17 season. He made his NHL debut the following year, registering two goals and two assists in 19 games, but suffered a torn ACL on March 4.
2017 — The Wild traded their first-round pick to the Coyotes as part of a package that brought forwards Martin Hanzal and Ryan White to Minnesota at the 2017 trade deadline.

Enjoy the sites of this complex city! Explanation of sites available upon request.
May 12, 2009 the new Hesed building in Krivoy Rog, now named the Beit Graham Jewish Home, was officially opened for business! In town for the celebration were not only all of the JDC Dnepropetrovsk staff members and those who work at Krivoy Rog Hesed, but hundreds of members of the Krivoy Rog Jewish community, as well as over forty English donors who flew in for the occasion.
Krivoy Rog, located in the westernmost part of the Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, is the longest city in the world. Its main roads, all connected in one straightaway, stretch 140 km in length. There are only a couple of blocks on each side of this main road; the city is, essentially, this main thoroughfare.

RICHMOND, Va (Sept. 10, 2017) – In the final race before the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) playoffs, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drove his Fastenal Ford to a 19th-place finish. With his two wins in the 2017 MENCS regular season, Stenhouse earns his first playoff berth.
After advancing to round three in the qualifying session on Friday, the two-time XFINITY champion started the 400-lap race in the eighth position but lost a few spots early on due to an ill-handling race car.
When the caution flag waved with only 13 laps remaining in stage one, crew chief Brian Pattie made a strategy call to stay out to save a set of Goodyear tires. Fresher tires prevailed on the restart forcing Stenhouse to take the green checkered in the 24th position.
With stage two going caution free, the Olive Branch, Miss. native lost a lap to the leaders but earned the lucky dog position when the green checkered waved ending stage two.
After having to start at the tail end of the field to start stage three due to being the lucky dog, Stenhouse Jr. maneuvered his Ford through the field and caught the other lead lap cars in twenty laps.
After a late race caution sent the race into over-time, the Roush Fenway Racing driver took the wave around to get on the tail end of the lead lap. Stenhouse gained one position taking the checkered flag in the 19th position.
Stenhouse and the No. 17 team return to action next Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway for the Tale of the Turtles 400. Race coverage starts at 3 pm EST on NBCSN.

Why are you run by jerks who never work at the box office? I just want to buy tickets to Scribble Jam, is that so much to ask? I realize that you might think that the demand for said show isn't large enough to provide me with info about the show, but you're wrong. My interest should be enough. Dicks. Answer your phone or return my phone call based on the message I left you. Don't ignore me or I'll only get madder. Jerks.
Nevermind. Apparently tickets went on sale today. :) I'm all good to go.

Thanks for expressing an interest in Micel Folcland and Regia Anglorum! This page is an attempt to answer a few basic questions. Keep in mind that Regia, like all other living-history groups and most other subcultures, uses a set of specialized jargon; if any term is unexpected or confusing, please feel free to ask what it means. We’ll understand; after all, we all stood where you stand today!
“Living History” is a term used to describe the re-creation of historical cultures in the present. It generally involves costumes of the era and pursuing the crafts and other activities of the period. You might be familiar with American Civil War or American revolutionary war reenactments; these are living history. Regia does the same thing, only earlier!
Regia Anglorum is an international society that attempts to recreate a cross section of English life around the turn of the first millennium. Regia attempts to re-create British culture between 950 and 1066 ce. While this primarily focuses on Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Norman cultures, any culture with a presence in the British Isles during this time is fair game.
Regia is not purely a combat society and have come a long way from the old hack and bash image associated with many re-enactment societies. There is always a certain glory to be found in recreating and reliving famous and the not-so-famous battles of times past - but they are not the sum total of history. They are specific points in time which were interspersed by long periods where the people living then, got on with their normal existence which is equally fascinating. In this way, we are not in fact just a battle reenactment group, but a broad living history society.
A large consideration for Regia is accuracy in all aspects of the recreation. Some folk prefer the term “authenticity,” but we feel this sounds more as if we are using the actual historical artifacts. We employ replicas, but they are as close to the originals as possible. The exceptions are if you have to extrapolate because of a lack of primary documentation and matters of safety. Safety is paramount. Because we deal with such a limited time span and geographical area, we are well able to advise each other on questions of accuracy. Actually, creating and maintaining an accurate period kit becomes fairly simple because of the internal help and support! We do have a list of standards which all members and potential members must obey. For more information on the society and on the era, see http://regia.org.
Micel Folcland—Old English for “Great Land of the People,” a variation of the meaning of “Illinois”—is the official Wisconsin-Indiana-Illinois branch of Regia Anglorum. Regia is a British-based living-history organization founded in 1986. It spread to North America in around 2002, and Micel Folcland was given its official land grant in the December of 2005. The culture of Micel Folcland is primarily Anglo-Scandinavian (the Danelaw) from the early eleventh century, so most resources will be devoted toward that culture at this point in time. For more information specifically about Micel Folcland, see http://www.micelfolcland.org.
Regia is not role-playing in the sense that events usually does not feature first-person impressions (also known as persona, the character you “portray” in Regia).
Regia is not a modern political organization of any kind (we only study politics from before 1066).
Regia is not a modern religious organization of any kind (we only study religious topics from before 1066).
How expensive is participation in Regia?
We often hear the question. And quite frankly, that depends on the individual. The Early Middle Ages is one of the least expensive eras that you can recreate, but doing a higher-class impression, buying all your kit can be as expensive as any other hobby (after all, most other hobbies require the purchase of some specific gear). However, if you are willing to do a lower-class impression and to make your own gear, expanses can be minimal. We encourage members to do ordinary and common impressions in any case.
We do research into the era we re-create, and we put it to practical use. By that, I mean that we have events!
Regia, like most other living-history groups, primarily does shows for the public. However, this does not mean that we do not do private events as well, when standards are less. These are “Hearth Nights,” when members gather to practice arts, experiment and just to socialize. During events, the period camp is usually enclosed by a ropeline which keeps the public out. Everything seen in the period camp will be accurate, although non—period materials—farb—is allowed if it is kept from public view. For example, each camp must have a fire extinguisher that is kept hidden in a red bag.
Virtually anything done in period times—that is still legal today—is done in Regia. Archery, horsemanship, cookery, calligraphy, combat, music, dancing, textile arts and of course costuming are practiced in Regia. Combat is done with rebated—blunted—steel weapons with specific rules and much training, and safety is paramount. Sharp weapons—so-called “live steel”—are not permitted. Armor, if used, is primarily chain mail and helmets; leather combat gloves are not period but are used for safety reasons. Combat is not competitive but is not choreographed. Artifacts are usually based on primary documentation, principally archaeological finds but also on illustrations, literary accounts and, in some cases, practical extrapolation.
To participate in a Regia event, you must be member. Micel Folcland allows non-members at two events to see if they like it. That way, if it turns out that someone does not like doing it, they’ll have a chance to “try it on” for free. Memberships are $35 a year, running from October to October and include our journal, membership booklet and more.
There is, of course, much more to Regia and its activities. You can find a Micel Folcland FAQ at http://www.advancenet.net/folo/micel_folcland_faq.htm. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them, and we’ll try to answer them!

NO, there is not an imminent race to riches among northern nations to exploit these untapped resources………..
The wrap-up session of a two-day dialogue among government, business and media leaders from among the eight Arctic Council countries organized by the Murrow Center of the Fletcher School with cooperation from the Institute of the North in Anchorage, the Rasmuson Foundation, the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy of the Fletcher School and the government of Norway.
as a Tufts Ph.D.-graduate and an Icelandic national, I was upset to see your overly enthusiastic endorsement of Mr. Grimsson (I have to agree with Mr. Snaevarr’s comment that calling Mr. Grimsson “Dalai Lama of the north” is comic at best). In Iceland, Mr. Grimsson is seen by many as a key “player” in the economic collapse of our nation, but worse, he has shown no signs of taking responsibility for his role in the awful mess that ruined the lives of many ordinary citizens, who are still struggling with the consequences of the collapse. Mr. Grimsson has divided the Icelandic people and by seeking to serve as president for a fifth term, he continues to do so. Knowing first hand how professionalism and social responsibly characterize every aspect of Tufts University, it is puzzling and upsetting to see Mr. Grimsson equated with a prominent spiritual leader.
Warm regards, Dr. Steinunn Gestsdottir.
The Fletcher School hosts a large number of foreign dignitaries who speak on a wide variety of issues, and our faculty express their own opinions and not those of the School.
The flier was not vetted by President Grimsson or his staff.
update the promotional materials for the event and have done so here.
I can agree with Mr. Snævarr and Dr. Gestsdóttir, calling Mr. Grímsson, Dalai Lama of the North is laughable.
But we are going through hard times.
Sovereignty of the nation is in danger and the President has decided to sit one more term. Those who want to join the EU are unhappy with the president’s decision and they will tell lies.
thank you for your response and claryfications. I am not opposing that Mr. Grimsson is invited to speak at any event but I am glad that there is recognition that he is very controversial among the people he was elected to serve, even if he gets rousing ovations from others.

You may use this as a template for wording in your grants and publications to address Rigor and Reproducibility for your Flow Cytometry Experiments run in the UNC Flow Cytometry Core Facility.
If using a core facility, consult with the core staff in the planning stage. Consult with a statistician if you need help developing a Power Analysis to assure that your results will be adequately powered.
Design your experiment with sufficient controls (rigor) and replicates (reproducibility).
Assure that ALL of your reagents (antibodies, cell lines, mice) are fully validated (see below).
Have a clear and detailed protocol (SOP) and data analysis plan that can be easily followed. Assure that the protocol is strictly followed or that any deviation is well documented.
Assure that the staff or students performing the experiment are well trained and understand each step and the importance of performing them precisely (rigor again).
Use only well-maintained instrumentation, preferably maintained and operated in a core facility with expert staff (see #1 above).
Document all steps, reagents, equipment and data analysis methods used in the experiment. Assure that the both the documentation and the data itself are properly stored in a safe data management repository.
Acknowledge the Cancer Center Support Grant (P30 CA016086), Grant-supported instrumentation and core staff in publications.
I. Multicolor Flow Cytometry: all flow cytometry experiments will be run using replicate [animals/cell lines, etc] according to recommendations based on power calculations.
Include negative controls and single color controls with each experiment for sensitivity and compensation calculations.
Incorporate Fluorescence Minus One (FMO) controls to validate the expression of rare or low-expressing markers.
Daily quality control of all instrumentation is performed based on manufacturers’ recommendations to ascertain that all of the UNC Flow Cytometry Core Facility flow cytometers maintain peak performance. Flow cytometric fluorophore compensation and analysis is completed using FlowJo, Summit, or FCS Express.
II. Cell sorting: quality control/laser alignment and drop delay calculation is carried out according to manufacturers’ recommendations on all cell sorters prior to sorting. Single color controls are included with each experiment for compensation calculations. Post-sort analysis are run on each population to verify purity when possible.
III. All antibodies will be validated prior to reporting of results. Recommendations for research using antibodies (page 7-8) ‘Although vendor-supplied technical information may help investigators select reagents such as antibodies, this information is insufficient for validation’.

Norma Jean haven’t made the same album twice and The Anti-Mother is a perfect example of this. This time around they’ve taken a more experimental and melodic direction but without sacrificing the ferocity. There are a few musical missteps but where this album really shines is in the lyrics and the emotion behind them. As if the pain of divorce wasn’t evident enough, singer/lyricist Corey Brandon spells it out loud in clear as he laments the end of his marriage. In the album’s final track “And There Will Be a Swarm of Hornets” he screams, “I AM RUINED!” You can’t make your feelings any more clear than that.
This album is just plain fun. I don’t really care what they’re singing about I just like the unique sound Vampire Weekend have created with their debut that is at times reminiscent of Paul Simon.
Listening to this album you’d never guess Justin Vernon, the man behind Bon Iver recorded it entirely by himself in a cabin in northern Wisconsin with limited recording equipment. The resulting sound is rich and filled with emotion. Every time I listen to it I have this romanticized image of Vernon siting in the cabin with a fire going, deep in thought and piecing together these beautiful songs.
Fall/Winter is the first half of Foreman’s (Switchfoot frontman) solo effort comprised of four EPs named for each of the four seasons. Compared to Switchfoot these songs are much more stripped down but on their own are very full. The acoustic guitar provides the foundation upon which a number of varied instruments such as the harmonica, trumpet and clarinet are built. Lyrically Foreman hasn’t been any more person or spiritual.
The She & Him album Volume One featuring Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward got a lot of buzz this year and even made some top lists of 2008. Now Zooey Deschanel is arguably a better actress than Jenny Lewis but when it comes to singing and song writing, Lewis blows Deschanel out of the water. I’ll take Acid Tongue over Volume One any day of the week (oddly enough both Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward contributed to Acid Tongue). What I love about this album is how spontaneous it sounds. It’s as if Lewis got a bunch of her friends together and they just started jamming. The result is a fun countryesque album fronted by Lewis’ brilliant voice.
This is the second half of Thrice’s ambitious Alchemy Index featuring four EPs, each stylistically, musically, and lyrically themed after one of the four elements. Thrice does pretty well with this effort considering it’s complexity and the fact that they recorded, produced, and mixed this album themselves in a house. The Air disk is my favorite of the four, mainly because of it’s straight forward driving rock sound but also because I really enjoy the overall tone, both musically and lyrically. Earth has a folk/country sound somewhat similar to singer Dustin Kensrue’s solo work but not quite as well executed.
Had my only criteria for this list been based on musicianship this album my have easily taken the top spot. Simple put Sigur Rós know how to create some incredible music and this album features some of the most beautifully composed songs I’ve ever heard. However, I felt it didn’t entirely work for me as an album. The album begins with these two great upbeat, dare I say poppy numbers, then the album becomes gradually subdued. Because of this I find it’s hard to take in all at once. With that said this is still a wonderful album.
This is the second half of Foreman’s seasons EPs as mentioned earlier. I really enjoyed this project as a whole but I was particularly fond of Spring and Summer. What really makes these songs so great is how genuine they are. It’s clear that Foreman was often inspired directly from the Scriptures. For example his take on the 23rd Psalm on the song “The House of God Forever” is quite powerful. That song also features a lovely female vocalist as do a number of other songs. The music Foreman has created for this project has both a feeling of simplicity and depth and is, I believe the best of his career thus far.
Right Away, Great Captain! is the side project of Manchester Orchestra frontman Andy Hull. “Right Away, Great Captain!” serves more as the title of a story rather than a moniker and The Eventually Home is chapter two, while the first album The Bitter End was chapter one. This time around Hull has abandoned the stripped, low-fi sound of The Bitter End for a more lushly produced sound. The Eventually Home at it’s core is still a folk album but the addition of layered vocals and a slightly broader use of instrumentation really give it depth. The use of the piano throughout is phenomenal. Lyrically the album follows the story of a sailor home from sea to confront his unfaithful wife. Hull puts the listener in the shoes of sailor with his suburb song writing. I’m excited for what he has in store for the final chapter of the Right Away, Great Captian! saga and also looking forward to the new Manchester Orchestra album out later this year.
Anathallo went with a more traditional album with this release and it totally worked. Canopy Glow in my mind is nearly perfect with it’s clean production, bold sound, and excellent song writing. Somehow these six guys and one girl are able to compose some of the most genius songs I’ve heard. Each one is unique from beginning to end. There are moments that are fun, exhilarating, haunting, sad, joyful, and even bizarre. Anathallo are known for using a wide range of instruments and again they don’t disappoint. Their use of percussion is particularly delightful. Vocally singers Matt Joynt and Erica Froman have never sounded better. The harmonies are especially to die for not to mention the backing vocals of the other band members. The lyrics are abstract and yet intriguing, it’s easy to get lost in them. Mostly though, words do little to describe this album. I’ll simply end by saying Canopy Glow is more than deserving of my top album of 2008.
Anathallo is not what you’d call a conventional band by any means. Each of their releases has a unique quality, a quality that can be seen in not only the music but in the inspiration behind the music and even in the album art work. Canopy Glow however is structured in a much more conventional way than anything Anathallo has done before. It comes packaged in the typical jewel case, it features ten tracks and the songs have the usual verse and chorus arrangement. But lets face it, what makes an album is the music, and when it comes to the music Anathallo always has something very special up their sleeves.
When I first listened to Canopy Glow the thing that jumped out at me the most was the vocals, particularly that of Erica Froman. Froman wasn’t even a member of the band on their last album, she simply provided guest vocals. I assume she was then asked to join sometime soon after. Now that she’s a full fledged member her vocals are used extensively providing beautiful harmonies reminiscent of Eisley and she even lays down a few lead vocals as well. Lead singer Matt Joynt also adds something new with his vocals. There are a number of tracks in which Joynt utilizes the lower range of his voice, which is something he hasn’t explored much in past releases.
One of Anathallo’s biggest strengths is their ability to use a wide range of instrumentation and ability to construct some incredible arrangements. On Canopy Glow I feel they’ve pulled the reigns in a bit but still managed to achieve a rich layered sound. Two always present aspects of Anathallo’s sound is their use of percussion and horns. The horns aren’t as prominent this time around but the percussion shines as always, I especially enjoyed their use of the piano throughout. It provides a happy splashy sort of sound in songs like “Noni’s Field” and “The River.” A new instrument Anathallo has added to their arsenal are a set of hand bells. The band found the bells in their practice space at an old Church in Chicago, and sure enough they ended up incorporating them into the album. In fact, the appropriately named song, “Bells” almost exclusively features the hand bells along with vocals. I’ve posted the music video of the song at the top of the post and I’m sure you’ll agree it is a uniquely beautiful song.
Lyically Canopy Glow is pretty abstract. I’m sure there is a deep meaning behind many of the songs but to be honest I haven’t had enough time to really delve into the lyrics. There is on song I would like to highlight though, called “The River.” I’ve read a few articles and interviews in which the band discusses the story behind this song. Singer Matt Joynt has this to say about it, “…the song The River is about Erica’s mom, when she was crossing a river and the current picked her up and swept her away, and she thought she was going to die, and just resigned herself to it. She found a total sense of peace looking up at the trees overhead, and the canopy of leaves and the light coming through them.” I thought that was such an amazing story and they did a great job of really capturing the profound nature of that situation, both in the music and in the lyrics. It easily one of Anathallo’s best songs to date.
This has been a difficult review to write and I realized it was because Anathallo has so much going on that is hard to describe. I’m not even sure if I was able to clearly communicate how I felt about this album but I will say this; Canopy Glow is a wonderful album, one of the best of the year. If you like music in any way you should really check it out, it’s more than worth a listen.

H. P. B. was specially interesting upon the matter of "The Secret Doctrine" during the past week. I had better try to sort it all out and get it safely down on paper while it is fresh in my mind. As she said herself, it may be useful to someone thirty or forty years hence. The Secret Doctrine is only quite a small fragment of Esoteric Doctrine known to the higher members of the Occult Brotherhoods. It contains, she says, just as much as can be received by the world during this coming century. "The World" (she explained) means Man living in the Personal Nature. This "world" will find in the two volumes of the S.D. (Secret Doctrine) all its utmost comprehension can grasp, but no more. But this is not to say that the Disciple who is not living in "the world" cannot find any more in the book than the "world" finds. Every form, no matter how crude, contains the image of its "creator" concealed within it. So likewise does an author's work, no matter how obscure, contain the concealed image of the author's knowledge. . . From this saying, I take it that the S.D. must contain all the H.P.B. knows herself, and a great deal more than that, seeing that much of it comes from men whose knowledge is immensely wider than hers. Furthermore, she implies unmistakably that another may well find knowledge in it which she does not possess herself. It is a stimulating thought to consider that it is possible that I myself may find in H.P.B.'s words knowledge of which she herself is unconscious. She dwelt on this idea a good deal. X said afterwards: "H.P.B. must be losing her grip," meaning, I suppose, confidence, in her own knowledge. But...and..., myself, also, see her meaning better, I think. She is telling us without a doubt not to anchor ourselves to her as the final authority, nor to anyone else, but to depend altogether upon our own widening perceptions.
H.P.B. seems pretty definite about the importance of the teaching (in the Conclusion) relating to the times of coming of the Races and Sub-Races. She put it more plainly than usual that there is really no such thing as a future "coming" of races. "There is neither COMING nor PASSING, but eternal BECOMING," she says. The Fourth Root-race is still alive. So are the Third and Second and First - that is, their manifestations on our present plane of substance are present. I know that she means, I think, but it is beyond me to get it down in words. So likewise the Sixth Sub-Race is here, and the Sixth Root-Race, and the Seventh, and even people of the coming Rounds. After all, that's understandable. Disciples and Brothers and Adepts can't be people of the everyday Fifth Sub-Race, for the race is a state of evolution.
But she leaves no question but that, as far as humanity at large goes, we are hundreds of years (in time and space) from even the Sixth Sub-Race. I thought H.P.B. showed a peculiar anxiety in her insistence on this point. She hinted at "dangers and delusions" coming through ideas that the New Race had dawned definitely on the World. According to her the duration of a Sub-Race for humanity at large coincides with that of the Sidereal Year (the circle of the earth's axis - about 25,000 years). That puts the new race a long way off.
She talked a good deal about the "Fundamental Principles." She says: "If one imagines that one is going to get a satisfactory picture of the constitution of the Universe from the S.D. one will get only confusion from its study. It is not meant to give any such final verdict on existence, but to lead towards the truth." She repeated this latter expression many times. It is worse than useless going to those whom we imagine to be advanced students (she said) and asking them to give us an "interpretation" of the S.D. They cannot do it. If they try, all they give are cut and dried exoteric renderings which do not remotely resemble the Truth. To accept such interpretation means anchoring ourselves to fixed ideas, whereas Truth lies beyond any ideas we can formulate or express. Exoteric interpretations are all very well, and she does not condemn them so long as they are taken as pointers for beginners, and are not accepted by them as anything more. Many persons who are in, or will in the future be in, the T.S. are of course potentially incapable of any advance beyond the range of a common exoteric conception. But there are, and will be others, and for them she sets out the following and true way of approach to the S.D.
I suggested that this is a kind of mental exercise which must be excessively fatiguing. H.P.B. smiled and nodded. One must not be a fool (she said) and drive oneself into the madhouse by attempting too much at first. The brain is the instrument of waking consciousness, and every conscious mental picture formed means change and destruction of the atoms of the brain. Ordinary intellectual activity moves on well-beaten paths in the brain, and does not compel sudden adjustments and destructions in its substance. But this new kind of mental effort calls for something very different - the carving out of new "brain paths," the ranking in different order of the little brain lives. If forced injudiciously it may do serious physical harm to the brain.
The true student of The Secret Doctrine is a Jnana Yogi, and this Path of Yoga is the True Path for the Western student. It is to provide him with signposts on that Path that The Secret Doctrine has been written.
She has changed much since I met her two years ago. It is marvellous how she holds up in the face of dire illness. If one knew nothing and believed nothing, H.P.B. would convince one that she is something away and beyond body and brain. I feel, especially during these last meetings since she has become so helpless bodily, that we are getting teachings from another and higher sphere. We seem to feel and know what she says rather than hear it with our bodily ears. X said much the same thing last night.

Ashley Hutchings Rainbow Chasers feature Ashley Hutchings on vocals and acoustic bass guitar; Ruth Angell on vocals, fiddle, violin, acoustic guitar and percussion, Jo Hamilton on vocals, viola, acoustic guitar and keyboards, and Mark Hutchinson on vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, keyboard and tambourine.
Ruth Angell played violin on Jim Moray's album "Sweet England” and performed alongside him at the BBC Folk Awards 2004. She is also a member of the jazz ensemble Surge and also fiddle quintet formed by the Albion Band's Joe Broughton.
A member of Tickled Pink, Mark Hutchinson performs regularly with Simon Care and Guy Fletcher.
A singer-songwriter in her own right, Jo Hamilton previously worked with Ashley as a violinist and singer for the final Albion Band tour in 2004.
Born in 1945, Ashley “Tyger” Hutchings is probably the most famous and well respected bass guitarist on the folk scene, and is probably responsible for starting more English traditional folk bands than any other artiste!
Initially a blues bassist, in 1964 Ashley formed Dr K's Blues Band, and in 1996, with guitarist Simon Nicol, formed The Ethnic Shuffle Orchestra. A year later they’d evolved into Fairport Convention, with Richard Thompson, Martin Lamble and Judy Dyble.
In 1969, despite the phenomenal success of Fairport Convention’s “Liege & Lief”, Ashley, restless as ever, left Fairport and formed the band that never was….. they didn’t stay together long enough to get a name!
Ashley, of course, was on bass, and Gay Woods was on vocals and concertina, her husband Terry Woods on vocals and guitar, Johnny Moynihan on fiddle and Andy Irvine on mandolin and vocals. The band were together in the rehearsal stage for only three weeks, but when Johnny Moynihan decided to leave they called it a day.
Johnny Moynihan and Andy Irvine went on to become founder members of the mighty Planxty, whilst Gay and Terry went on to Ashley’s next project - the first incarnation of Steeleye Span, with Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, already established as a duo in the English traditional scene.
This first Steeleye Span line up convened in January 1969 and recorded the seminal “Hark, The Village Wait”. This line-up lasted all of four months - in April 1970 Gay and Terry Woods left, and Ashley drafted in Peter Knight on fiddle, and Martin Carthy on guitar and vocals.
This line - up gigged solidly, and released “Please to See The King” and “ Ten Man Mop (Mr Reservoir Butler Rides Again)” in 1971, and promptly folded in late 1971. Martin Carthy then went back to solo performance, and Ashley formed The Albion Country Band with his (then) wife Shirley Collins.
The Albion Country Band was the first of the “Albion Bands”, who metamorphosed into The Etchingham Steam Band and in 1978 became known simply as The Albion Band, with a veritable “who’s who” of top musicians on the folk scene passing through on a never ending journey….Richard and Linda Thompson, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick, Ric Sanders, Dave Mattacks, Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick, John Tams, Phil Picket, Shirley Collins, Steve Ashley, Royston Wood, Peter Knight, Vic Gammon, Graeme Taylor, Eddie Upton, Bruce Rowland, Roger Swallow and many, many more - there’s just not enough space in this article to name them all!
Forty years after first dipping a toe in the waters of the folk scene with The Ethnic Shuffle Orchestra, “the Guv’nor” still continues to delight and evolve, with his latest band, Ashley Hutchings Rainbow Chasers.
Ashley Hutchings’ Rainbow Chasers appear at South Parade Pier on Sunday August 27th 2006.

The London boys Palace who have releases their debut LP So Long Forever will play tonight at Sidecar.
Palace sounds like a band that has always existed. Beautifully crafted and mature, their debut album So Long Forever is sure to ascend them to the status of indie darlings. Fans of Foals and The National will especially appreciate their melancholy and unrushed vibe as well as their existential songwriting, which will stay with you long after the final play.

James Burr scored from 5 yards out on the left side a little over a minute into overtime to lift host Boston University to a 12-11 victory over No. 19 Loyola Maryland in men's lacrosse Saturday.
The winner of Loyola's game at Army West Point on Friday will host the Patriot League semifinals and championship game.
The Greyhounds (7-5 overall, 5-2 Patriot League) trailed 3-0 after the game's first nine minutes, but they scored four straight goals and seven of the next eight to lead 7-4 on a goal by Jay Drapeau with 3:27 to play in the third quarter.
Boston University (10-3, 4-3), however, scored seven of the game's final 11 goals to claim the win and clinch a bid to the conference championships for the first time.
The Terriers took an 11-10 advantage when Michael Laviano cut to the goal and finished a pass from Jack Wilson from behind for a goal with 3:26 remaining in regulation, but Alex McGovern tied the game 1:15 later.
No. 13 Johns Hopkins wasn't in playoff mode Saturday against No. 7 Penn State, but there was a sense of urgency. If the Blue Jays lost, they faced a tough climb to get back into the postseason picture.
Pat Spencer saw McGovern draw a short-stick behind the crease, and he flipped a pass to his teammate that sent him on a top-side run.
McGovern finished with a 6-yard sidearm shot that went under the crossbar to tie the game at 2:11.
Loyola's Graham Savio, who during the game became the Patriot League's all-time leader in faceoffs won, gained possession for the Greyhounds on the ensuing draw, and Loyola ran significant time off the clock.
No. 16 Towson 10, Delaware 6: Brian Bolewicki (Calvert Hall) had two goals and two assists to help the Tigers (7-3, 3-0 Colonial Athletic Association) beat the host Blue Hens (7-6, 0-3).
When the UMBC men's lacrosse team found itself trailing visiting Binghamton by three after one quarter and by two at halftime, coach Ryan Moran experienced a sense of déjà vu.
Towson outscored Delaware 5-1 in the fourth quarter.
Wagner 9, Mount St. Mary's 6: The host Seahawks (6-7, 1-3 Northeast Conference) scored three goals over the final five minutes to beat the Mount (4-7, 0-2).
Andrew Streilein had a game-high four goals for Wagner. Jack Mangan had a hat trick for Mount St. Mary's.
No. 1 Syracuse 12, No. 17 North Carolina 11, OT: The visiting Orange (10-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) went on a 5-0 run to beat the Tar Heels (6-6, 1-2).
Syracuse trailed 11-7 with 12:49 left to play. Paolo Ciferri scored the tying goal with 1:19 left in regulation, and Sergio Slacido scored the game-winner with 2:42 left in overtime.
The win seals the regular-season conference championship and No. 1 seed in the tournament, Syracuse's eighth conference title in the past eight seasons, including both tournament and regular-season crowns.
Drexel 13, No. 2 Hofstra 12: The Dragons (5-6, 2-1 Colonial Athletic Association) went on a 7-1 run in the fourth quarter to overtake the Pride (10-1, 2-1).
Robert Frazee completed his hat trick to tie the score at 12 with 1:19 left, and Jacob O'Donnell scored the game-winner 17 seconds later.
Reid Bowering had five goals for Drexel.
No. 4 Denver 18, St. John's 12: Bill Tierney became the seventh Division I coach to reach 500 wins as the Pioneers (9-2, 3-0 Big East) beat the host Red Storm (1-11, 0-3).
The win secured a playoff spot for Denver, which got five goals and an assist from Maryland transfer Connor Cannizzaro.
No. 9 Ohio State 18, Michigan 7: Tre Leclaire had three goals and five assists to help the Buckeyes (11-2, 2-1 Big Ten) beat the host Wolverines (8-4, 0-3).
No. 8 Duke 20, No. 18 Virginia 11: Jack Bruckner and Justin Guterding combined for 12 goals and six assists to lead the host Blue Devils (10-3, 3-1 ACC) past the Cavaliers (8-6, 0-4).
Duke has defeated Virginia in 17 of its past 18 meetings including 12 consecutive regular-season games.
The victory, combined with Syracuse's win over North Carolina, secures the No. 2 seed for the Blue Devils in the ACC tournament, which is set for April 28-30 in Durham, N.C.
No. 12 Richmond 13, Bellarmine 6: The host Spiders (10-2, 5-0 Southern Conference) won their second straight game, beating the host Knights (3-8, 2-3).
No. 14 Princeton 16, Dartmouth 6: Michael Sower had three goals to lead the Tigers (8-4, 3-1 Ivy League) past the host Big Green (2-9, 0-4).
Princeton went on an 8-1 run in the third quarter.
No. 15 Yale 18, Brown 12: Ben Reeves had five goals and five assists to help the host Bulldogs (8-3, 5-0 Ivy League) past the Bears (5-5, 2-2).
Yale outscored Brown 11-5 in the second half.

I assume that is rather tongue-in-cheek.
If not, I would expect Peter Jackson to shut the idea down quick smart.
I could not support a team with him at the club. To me he is no better than the drug dealer on the street selling gear to young people. They do it for money. Hird selfishly used players, who were entrusted to his care, as guinea pigs for his own egotistical purposes. Unforgivable in my book.
Anyway, he doesn't have much to offer - is in the 'great player/average coach' category.
No thanks! Keep him away from my club.
He'd bloody well better. It's be worse than microwave territory. If Hird came within a mile of the club I'd be writing to the club saying I'll not be renewing my membership. And mean it.
Epitaph from the Swiss Supreme Court.
I found him a bit arrogant and aloof...but each to there own.
Id be beyond wild if he coached at the dees.
[censored] it took me a whole season to warm to melksham and hibbert. And they are a long way from my favourites no matter how good they are.
This was a systematic black ops hidden doping program that required the players to sign waivers and leave club premises to have the injections that were imported from china and Mexico with "no records" of any of it.
Their punishment has been extremely light.
How do you feel about one of their assistant coaches at the time now being our senior coach?
not so good. But it suits me to assume he was a minor cog next to a big wheel. And part of my antipathy towards Hird is caused by his apologists and they haven't bothered to mention our coach. Nevertheless I find it difficult to warm to him. I wonder how warm I'll feel when we win the flag under his watch.
Don't be surprised if its us.
Goody and Hird both like a suntan.
I can't for the life of me entertain the notion of James "drug cheat" Hird coming to our club. He was the architect of the program.
The membership will go nuts.
And besides there is no evidence he is any good. My mail is that he was very much disliked at his previous employer and they were very happy to see him gone.
Essendon or the Chocolate place?
He was a partner/shareholder but I understand when he left he sold out of his shareholding.
My mail is that he was very much disliked at his previous employer and they were very happy to see him gone.
I'm James Hird .... Biatches.
I absolutely get that. From my occasional forays into Church City, a short 5 minutes of listening to 5AA is enough to harden one against those two clubs forever.
I can't imagine what a steady diet would do to one's mind.
However, we must look at the big picture. Provincial difficulties must be risen above and the long range, objective view be held.
And that is, clearly, that a certain few clubs must never be given an inch. Must always be held in contempt if not with outright hatred.
GCS and GWS. "Vlad's folly". One for not winning enough and one for winning too much.
I know it's not on the topic de jour, but in one sentence you've identified the AFL's two greatest fears with the northern expansion.
2 page document with the main part redacted. Must have been lots of it going on.
Reading about Bradley Wiggins, and the parallels with Essendon is eerie.
Wiggins denied "any drug was used without medical need."
But the report from a committee investigating doping since 2015 casts doubt on the integrity of the team and their failure to keep accurate medical records.
THE Essendon drugs saga will return to court just days before this month’s season opener.
Human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, QC, is leading a case brought against AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan and former commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick.
He is representing Melbourne lawyer Jackson Taylor, who alleges misleading and deceptive conduct during the five-year supplements scandal.
Gee ... I wonder if "Melbourne lawyer" Jackson Taylor is actually a duffle coat wearing, mouth breathing nuffie and diehard Essadon supporter.
So what the hell is this court action for, don't understand did this lawyer lose money or something is he trying to prove the players innocent.
I hope it comes out that the AFL told essden to shred all the evidence.

Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices.
The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope.
Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community.
In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too.
Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page.
Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements.
All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind. Click here to submit your paper via EDAS.

The combination of fibrate and statin therapies may be a treatment option for women with multiple lipid abnormalities. We, therefore, initiated the present safety and efficacy analysis to address the paucity of such data in women with mixed dyslipidemia. A total of 1,393 women with mixed dyslipidemia (low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol <130 mg/dl, triglycerides [TG] <150 mg/dl, high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol <50 mg/dl), who had enrolled in any 1 of 3 randomized clinical trials, were evaluated. The eligible women were randomized to receive fenofibric acid plus a low- or moderate-dose statin (combination treatment); or low-, moderate-, or high-dose statin monotherapy; or fenofibric acid monotherapy. With low-dose combination treatment, the baseline HDL cholesterol level increased 20% and TG decreased 46% compared to an 8% HDL cholesterol increase and 20% TG decrease with low-dose statins alone. With the moderate-dose combination, the baseline HDL cholesterol increased 21% and TG decreased 44% compared to an 8% HDL cholesterol increase and 26% TG decrease with moderate-dose statins alone. The reduction in baseline LDL cholesterol with low-dose and moderate-dose combinations (37% and 39%, respectively) was comparable to the reduction with corresponding-dose statins (36% and 43%, respectively). High-dose statins decreased the baseline LDL cholesterol 47%; however, the increase in HDL cholesterol (9%) and decrease in TG (25%) were similar to the changes observed with lower doses of statins. The safety profiles of the combinations were comparable to those of the component therapies. In conclusion, these data suggest that a combination of fenofibric acid and a statin could be considered safe and efficacious for treating women with mixed dyslipidemia. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Gracile woman with an impatient, distracted air.
Notes: Not many people outside of academic mathematical circles like Damodari Elango. She's brusque, inconsiderate and impatient. In short, the stereotypical Logician. She's a veteran of climbing political pole in academic circles and runs a small consulting business on the side.
She has a mesh and typicall keeps it loaded with a Financial 5 lens and keeps on hand the following lenses: Crisis Control, Teacher and Medical. Immune to emotional appeals. Immune to the Romance Theme. Her Biotech is considered one point higher for the purpose of resisting disease and old age. She can exceed their civilization’s maximum Cognitech and Biotech by one without suffering Plot Score reduction.

Greeks Lobbying Against Greece- How Greek-American lobbies and networks like AHEPA and HALC do not represent the average Greek-American but instead the interests of moneyed powers. While AHEPA and virtually all other Greek lobbies take orders from Zionist lobbies that deny the Greek genocide and push for Turkish interests, they simultaneously attack the dynamic work of Golden Dawn for the little people. George and Ed also discuss the gap between the bought higher ups in the Orthodox clergy and the simple priests and nuns who see Golden Dawners as spiritual warriors. Golden Dawn America is the only unapologetic pro-Hellenic, pro-Western organization in America, and every day more Greek-Americans are seeing the truth! George and Ed also discuss the deracination of some Greek Americans creating a void filled by crass materialism, and how Golden Dawn can help them connect with their roots.
Renewed Media Assault On Golden Dawn- George and Ed deconstruct two new widely circulated propaganda pieces by Nightline ABC (Zionist owned) and a not-so-ironic barrage of articles from cultural Marxist “hipster” VICE magazine ( the “alternative” outlet which recently received 70 million dollars from News Corps Zionist Rupert Murdoch). We point out the extensive sharing of propaganda by plutocratic mainstream media and the Left-wing self-proclaimed dissidents that crawl into their laps, a collaboration that exposes them both. How the media tries to dehumanize Golden Dawn supporters and activists for their political agenda, and specific rebuttals of blatantly false statements and willful misconstruction.
Mao, Trotsky, And …. Samaras?- Prominent members of both New Democracy and SYRIZA are beginning to talk about creating a coalition for the specific purpose of undermining Golden Dawn in the next election, which is provoking cynicism and migration to Golden Dawn from both parties. Why the last ditch effort to save the “European Project” and international usurers has no rational benefit for the Greek people.
“Progress”, A Hoax Against History- A talk about those who abuse the word “progress” just because time passes by. But whose interests are really “progressing”?
Systematic Left As 21st Century Inquisitors – Modern day witch hunters who spout beautiful words about “humanity” and “freedom”, yet anyone who sways even slightly away from their dogma is targeted for violence and character assassination. But with the people awakening and truth no longer able to be hidden, the witch hunters are now the ones finding themselves ostracized and are kept afloat only via the unlimited well of money thrown behind them by elites, as well as monopoly of their ideology in the media. Their social engineering project is so depraved and unnatural, it cannot stand even elementary criticism.
-War stories on battling Anarchist paramilitaries in Greece when Golden Dawn was small, and how the “anti-authoritarians” seek help from police when their targets fight back!
-Updates on the very successful Golden Dawn children’s drive and a statement of gratitude to all the brothers and sisters who have shown us and the people of Greece their compassion and solidarity.

Here’s more help on personal branding: Joe Grimm, perhaps the leading voice on career development in journalism, is leading a workshop on personal branding Sept. 16 for my old friends at the American Press Institute. At $15, including lunch, it’s practically free.
Joe’s a longtime friend who used to recruit for the Detroit Free Press and for a few years wrote the Ask the Recruiter blog for Poynter (he now continues it independently). His Jobs Page is an essential resource for job-hunting journalists, and I linked to his post on building your own journalistic career brand in yesterday’s post on my own branding strategy.
I’m pleased to see Joe leading this workshop and to see API offering such valuable help for journalists at such a great price.
I don’t have time to write a thorough analysis of the new Twitter for Newsrooms guide that Twitter published yesterday for journalists, but I’ll share some initial observations.
The guide is helpful. It promotes Twitter’s Advanced Search, and it always surprises me how many journalists don’t know how to search to find tweets about the topics they are reporting on. The guide encourages journalists to use Topsy for archival search, which I had forgotten about (Twitter Search doesn’t go back more than about a week). The guide is worth a look, especially if you aren’t using Twitter much, and probably has a few helpful tips if you’re experienced with Twitter.
I had the busiest day ever on my blog Friday, thanks to the power of Gene Weingarten’s brand.
Update: That record was broken Monday and then again Tuesday as the branding conversation continued.

West Ham dumped holders Manchester United out of the Carling Cup with a stunning victory inspired by Jonathan Spector's first goals in English football.
Spector had never scored during his six seasons in the Barclays Premier League but the USA defender struck twice to end United's unbeaten start to the season.
Further damage was done by Carlton Cole after the interval with the England marksman pouncing twice to bring feeble United crashing back down to earth after their 7-1 drubbing of Blackburn.
Spector and Cole were brilliantly supported by Victor Obinna with the Nigerian forward, on loan from Inter Milan, having a hand in each goal.
Sir Alex Ferguson made 10 changes to the side that hammered Blackburn last weekend with only Anderson remaining, but the manner of this defeat will still prove difficult to stomach.
Experience was supplied by the likes of Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea but they also wilted in the face of West Ham's onslaught.
Those who had braved the arctic conditions at a near-sold out Upton Park enjoyed a night of high drama, the benefit of which could be felt in the Hammers' Premier League survival bid.
Wigan were dispatched 3-1 last weekend but Grant made six changes with captain Scott Parker on the bench despite suffering from a chest infection.
There was little sign of the carnage to come early on when the holders were denied the lead by the woodwork with Robert Green showing lightning reflexes to push Gabriel Obertan's shot on to the post.
Anderson expertly picked out Giggs but the Welsh winger's delivery into the box was poor and the ball looped away harmlessly.
Controversy reigned in the 16th minute when West Ham scored through Obinna - only to have the goal ruled out for offside.
Obinna's shot deflected off Spector and the linesman had made the correct decision, but the Hammers were incensed.
Players queued up to demonstrate with referee Mark Clattenburg, who then warned Grant after the Israeli hurled the ball away in disgust after it had gone out of bounds.
Any sense of injustice was soon remedied, however, when Spector nodded West Ham ahead.
Obinna supplied an exquisite chip that Spector, having crept inside Fletcher, headed into the net.
Emboldened by their goal, West Ham attacked with greater conviction but were almost caught by a United counter that ended with a tame header from Obertan.
Cole almost got the better of Fabio before James Tomkins angled a corner wide and in the 37th minute the home side's ascendancy was rewarded once more.
The hapless Fabio was involved as his attempted block of Obinna's shot instead fell into the path of Spector who blasted home from close range.
A header from Bebe was easily saved by Green but most of the action continued to take place at the other end.
A dreadful blunder from Green, who until now had looked rock-solid, almost let United in with his clearance hitting the back of Federico Macheda.
The ball deflected into the path of Javier Hernandez but reinforcements arrived for the Hammers to clear the danger in the nick of time.
United were pouring forward as the expected fightback began in earnest, only to be halted in their tracks in the 55th minute when they were caught on the break.
The superb Obinna was the supplier with his inch-perfect cross met by Cole, who headed the ball home.
There was still more to come from West Ham, however, as little over 10 minutes later Cole slammed home his second after being set up by Obinna.
Zavon Hines had a strong penalty shout rejected by Clattenburg after being shoved in the back by O'Shea, but West Ham had the result wrapped up long ago.
West Ham Green, Faubert, Tomkins (Reid 74), Upson, Ben-Haim, Barrera (Hines 76), Kovac, Spector, Boa Morte, Cole (Stanislas 89), Obinna.
Subs Not Used: Boffin, Parker, McCarthy, Piquionne.
Goals: Spector 22, 37, Cole 56, 66.
Man Utd Kuszczak, O'Shea, Smalling, Evans (Brown 72), Fabio Da Silva (Rafael Da Silva 65), Obertan, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Bebe (Macheda 46).
Subs Not Used: Amos, Park, Carrick, Eikrem.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Taking a sidestep from Atlantic Sun Conference play, the Lipscomb baseball team played host to the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles on Tuesday evening at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in Nashville. The Golden Eagles pulled out a 5-4 victory with a late ninthinning run to spoil the Bisons home finale, which saw the most home wins in the program’s history stand at 23 while holding a program best .676 win percentage at Dugan Field.
The Bisons fell to 25-27 while the Golden Eagles improved to 20-30 on the season.
The Golden Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the third inning as Blake Fonfara loaded the bases and allowed a single into center field, scoring Zephan Guyear. With the bases loaded again in the fourth inning for the Golden Eagles, Chad Hayes reached on a fielder’s choice, which scored Dylan Bosheers for the 2-0 lead.
The Bisons tied the game in the bottom of the fifth as Aaron Sandoval reached base after being hit by pitch then scored as Gray Hutchinson hit a triple off the 375 sign in left center field, just missing a home run by inches. Hutchinson was then hit home as Logan Hostettler hit a sacrifice fly to center field.
Tennessee Tech took the lead back in the top of the sixth as Jordan Hopkins grounded out to the short stop scoring Ben Burgess who was on third base. The Golden Eagles scored their second run of the inning as Chad Hayes singled into right field scoring Dylan Bosheers who was on third base for the 4-2 lead.
However, the Bisons recovered one of the runs in the bottom half with Zak Messer reaching base on a single into right field. Two hitters later, Sandoval singled into left field scoring Messer to pull within 4-3.
With a Golden Eagles pitching change in the seventh inning, Lee Wilson greeted Seth Lucio with a lead-off home run into right center field to knot the game up at four-apiece.
Still tied at 4-4 heading into the ninth inning, the Golden Eagles scored an unearned run as Michael Morse reached on an error before scoring on a wild pitch two batters later.
With the Bisons down 5-4 and down to their final out, Wilson legged out a single to the short stop, beating the throw by a step. However, that was not enough as Shawn Mehring flied out to right field to end the game.
Wilson led the Bisons with a 2-for-3 effort while plating a run and RBI with his seventh-inning home run.
“Lee hitting the home run there late was solid. That was a big swing tying us back up 4-4 and we had a chance to win it the eighth and tie it in the ninth and we couldn’t do it,” added Coach Forehand.
The Bisons used six pitchers in the loss as Hunter Brothers was charged with the loss, falling to 1-2 on the season. Davey Hackett, the Bisons starting pitcher, threw two scoreless innings striking out four, while Benjamin Johnson struck out the side in his one inning of relief.
Lipscomb caps off the regular season travelling to cross-town rival Belmont, in a pivotal series as the two teams are tied for third place in the A-Sun standings. The first game of the three-game series will be at 5 p.m. on Thursday night at Rose Park in Nashville.

To evolve spiritually is your earthly task, it always has been.
Within the human collective there is enormous creative ability which will be put forward in service to heal the damage to humanity, all life forms, and the planet herself. These restorative procedures, which are long overdue, are now being initiated in many parts of the world as realization dawns and intensifies that you can no longer use and abuse the Earth and her inhabitants and expect to survive. Of course your survival is never in question because you are divine creations enfolded in the LOVE That Is All That Exists for all eternity. However, as humans on Earth, you must learn to live in harmony with all that is present in the earthly environment and put that learning into practice or you will self-destruct at that level.
Your divinely planned awakening from the illusion into Reality is by way of a pleasant dream in which there is no lack, pain, or suffering of any kind, it is akin to a state of Heaven on Earth where you further develop your spiritual awareness and abilities in order to prepare you for your full awakening back into the divine Presence which you have never left, but which you chose to become unaware of so that you could experience the sense or feeling of separation from Source.
Collectively you are now ready to discard that experience and return to awareness of your true and eternal nature. Nevertheless, there is quite a large number of humans, in positions of apparent power, prestige, and influence, who do not wish to release their tight hold on their illusory state of importance. They live to command significance and praise from others, an illusory state of respect and honor, that can be coerced from those they imagine are subservient beings whose purpose, as they see it, is to glorify them. Some refer to these people as the “cabal,” but in fact they are not one wealthy and influential group of people, they are a mixed bag of self-centered and egotistical individuals who only cooperate together when it seems to them that it best serves their joint interests, at other times they will happily destroy each other.
The time for the games that these ones are playing is over. Nevertheless, they will not cease their unpleasant and deceitful activities so long as they believe that they can maintain or improve their positions of power and influence. But their apparent power is fading away, despite the news reports of immense corruption in many places on the planet. It was but the power that the majority of humans had given away at various stages in their lives and which they are now reclaiming.
Only your own power can be used against you! Collectively humanity has chosen to reclaim its power because it has come to see very clearly that to give it away in the hope that someone more able, more intelligent, or wiser than themselves will protect them and keep them safe from whatever they are afraid of does not work, never has worked, and is basically a refusal to take personal responsibility for their own lives. Your individual lives are your own personal responsibility, and there is no way you can evade or escape that basic truth. Many attempt to do so by playing the role of victim or by joining an authoritative and hierarchical organization which will direct them with rules and commands that they have to obey, or suffer negative assessments which damage their reputations and can lead to punishment.
Social organizations of various kinds are sensible and useful when designed and run with the best interests of all members as their purpose for existence. When that purpose is no longer present they need either to change drastically in order to be of continuing service, or they need to be disbanded. In the business world this often happens, and although there it is driven purely by the profit motive, the ideas developed there can generate new ways of thought that can be used more widely, not just in the arena in which they were born.
New ideas are arising all across the world as the intense need for change becomes ever more apparent to all of humanity. Many of these ideas would have been considered insane only two or three years ago when most chose not to address or dwell on issues either of a personal nature or of a global nature that needed attention. The willingness to be distracted from your true life purpose by activities that demand your total attention is collapsing because those unaddressed issues have become too vociferous to ignore any longer.
The main issue is letting go of judgment. Judgment has been endemic within humanity for eons and has caused immense pain and suffering for all. Now awareness is growing rapidly that the intense felt need to judge is fear-driven and has to be released if you are to bring peaceful resolution to all the issues and problems with which life as a human presents you.
You chose a human incarnation to avail of the extremely evolutionary learning experiences that would be presented to you, and then, as you grew from infancy to adulthood, your egos and their opinions became of overriding interest, encouraging you to compare yourselves to others and judge the apparent differences you observed between yourselves – ethnic, racial, color, gender, religious, political, philosophical – as faults, errors, and even criminal states, that YOU needed to correct in THEM, and by force if persuasion failed. When everyone determinedly chooses to believe themselves to be right and chooses to see others as wrong or misguided the result is a state of general distrust that can and very often does lead to conflict.
Over the last few decades a growing awareness of the damage that occurs when firmly ingrained opinions and a sense of righteousness are used to judge others has developed, and this is allowing and encouraging many to make essential changes in their attitudes and behaviors. The resultant tolerance of differing beliefs and life styles is having a remarkable effect all across the world. Yes, in some places it appears to be causing increased conflict, but this is due to the fear that arises when established attitudes and behaviors are seen to be unfair and divisive, and those with positions of influence and authority refuse to consider the possibility of change. But change cannot be prevented, and those who resist will be either side-lined or swept aside.
This truly is an age of change, of GREAT change. It is also an age filled with challenges for you all, and you knew this when you chose to be human at this moment in Earth’s evolutionary journey. To evolve spiritually is your earthly task, it always has been, but that evolution had been moving forward only very slowly until the 15th century of the current era. From that point it started to accelerate, and your increasingly modern technologies acted as a catalyst, so that now, although those modern technologies enabled enormous damage to be done to the planet and to all the life forms it supports, they can and will be used to bring about an undreamt of spiritual evolution due to the instant and worldwide communication abilities that all now have available to them.
Deceit and secrecy can no longer hide from you the vast corruption that those in positions of power have engaged in for so long. Presently there is an ongoing and severe backlash against the abuse of power in every part of the world, but there is also a growing awareness that this apparent power is unreal. It can only operate if people comply with its demands, and more and more people are refusing to accept it and cooperate with it. Awareness is also growing that it cannot be overthrown by violent means, which is what has happened again and again through the ages, because that just changes the faction that is in power, leaving everyone beholden, as before, to those who would control and use them.
Initially it seemed that life on Earth was a constant struggle for survival as the sense of separation from Source filled all with fear, leading to distrust that was then validated as people fought with those who appeared to be different – those from a different tribe, region, or belief system. Once a belief in enemies became established then there was a need for defence systems to be established to protect against them, even by preemptive action. And it is that fear that has led to so much ongoing suffering all over the world for countless eons.
With the recent rapid acceleration of your spiritual evolution, which is but a choice and a decision to release all that appears to separate you from your true nature, Love, it is now quite clear to the vast majority that harmonious discussion, willing cooperation, and the use of modern technology of every kind will enable you to resolve, on a global scale, the issues and problems that have seemingly divided you into opposing warring factions for so long, and at every level of human society. This awareness is a major breakthrough that will encourage all to seek and find, very easily, non-violent means of problem solving.
Your true nature is Love, because Love is your Source, and that is unchanging. You have attempted to live without It, and that attempt has been a dismal failure, so now you are ready to open your hearts once more to allow Love to flow through you and connect you beautifully and harmoniously in a wonderful and stunning embrace that welcomes all and excludes no one. Therefore, be loving and only loving, regardless of the situations in which you find yourselves, and awaken to the endless peace and joy that this brings you.
We have all given our Life for and to the humans we seem to be.
I’m so excited for the things that are to come.
I just hope that we are all able to redirect our ways of thinking and open our minds and hearts up to Truth collectively as things intensify.
Thankyou so much for this John & Saul, I can feel the love in those words. Reminded me to always be loving and patient, even if I don’t feel like it.
Nice overview Saul…though we have all worked hard for decades light workers, consciousness agents, earth workers and social change groups we appear to not be able to develop the consciousness Light constituency to Shift the Timelines from a free will exclusive duality paradigm. To a higher more inclusive 5D collective evolution.
This could mean for example redesigning economic and banking systems for a new earth, a debt forgiveness jubilee, restoring the earth, education for all and shelter for all and a basic income model. http://basicincome.org How about Ascension and Higher Consciousness for all. Worker coops vs corporations. We are still in a business as usual top down control model which is scarcity and control and 8 people with a greater net worth than 3.5 billion and a business as usual approach and frankly not much direct help from Heaven for those on the front lines of the shift and the New Earth evolution.
I can’t find the blog you sent but it was about honouring yourself. I just wrote this poem. I felt to give it to you.
The ouroboros recycles souls, As each plays out their role, Landlocked in limited consciousness, On islands of automation, Playing a part but unaware of the whole.
The human story is about joyful glory, For as I wash your feet, I am on my knees, Not to please but in service, For we are each others keepers, And sleepers will awaken, To the reality that there is no servitude but gratitude, An abundant universe overflowing with gifts, To uplift human kind, Indeed a kind human, Remembering only love is real, As this is the sacred seal of a joke not a yoke, Rolling around in paroxysms of laughter, To real eyes we are all on a ship of fools, Carrying us home in the alms of happiness.

The 1997–98 FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) saw Arsenal lift their first league title since 1991 and, in so doing, became only the second team to win 'The Double' for the second time.
It was Arsenal's first full season under French manager Arsène Wenger, who became the third manager to win the Premier League. Wenger followed in the footsteps of Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish and, while both Ferguson and Dalglish were Scottish, Wenger was the first manager from outside the British Isles to win a league title in England.
At the end of the 1997–98 FA Premier League season, a record total of nine English teams qualified for European competition.
The gap between the Premier League and Division One of the Football League was highlighted at the end of 1997–98 when all three newly promoted teams were relegated. Crystal Palace were confined to bottom place in the final table having won just two home games all season. Barnsley's first season in the top division ended in relegation, although they did reach the FA Cup quarter finals and knock out Manchester United in the Fifth Round. Bolton Wanderers went down on goal difference, with 17th place being occupied by Everton: despite preserving top flight football there for the 45th season running, Howard Kendall quit as manager at Goodison Park after his third spell in charge.
Another mark of the gap was that the three relegated teams in the previous season took the top three places in the 1997–98 Football League. Had Sunderland not lost the play-off final to Charlton Athletic on penalty shootout, the 20 teams from 1998–99 Premier League would have been exactly the same as those in the 1996–97 Premier League.
Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the First Division. The promoted teams were Bolton Wanderers (returning to the top flight after a season's absence), Barnsley (playing in the top flight for the first time) and Crystal Palace (playing in the top flight again after a two year absence). They replaced Sunderland (immediately relegated to the First Division after a season's presence), Middlesbrough (relegated after a two year presence) and Nottingham Forest (relegated after three years in the top flight).

Apple CEO Tim Cook and internet services head Eddy Cue.
We just got more evidence that Apple is building a global network of servers designed to deliver iTunes movies and other Apple content to users as quickly as possible.
For fastest delivery, most big internet companies put content like downloads and software updates onto servers geographically close to its users, using a service called a content delivery network.
For the past 15 years, Apple's CDN of choice has been Akamai.
Now it looks like Apple is ditching Akamai for its own servers and has significantly cut its business with the online infrastructure company.
"Over the last two years, our two largest customers in particular, comprise about 13% of Akamai's overall revenue. As we look ahead to 2016, we expect these two accounts to still be our largest media customers, and they will contribute about 6% of our overall revenue," Akamai CEO Tom Leighton said during its earnings call. The company beat analyst expectations and announced a major restructuring and a $1 billion stock buyback, and its stock surged more than 16% after hours.
Akamai's two largest customers are widely believed to be Apple and Microsoft.
"This seven point change in contribution results from their increased do-it-yourself, or DIY efforts," Leighton said.
It's another sign that Apple's online services strategy has been changing, with the company pushing to bring more and more of its online infrastructure in-house. Apple is expected to open at least three new data centers over the next two years and has increased related spending.
If Apple were to launch a streaming video service, as has been rumored, the CDN that delivers it would be a major factor in terms of the streaming quality and lag that end-users would experience.
Streaming services analyst Dan Rayburn previously reported that sources expected Apple to "have a more active role" in content delivery after opening its data center in Maiden, North Carolina.Rayburn has previously tracked OS X downloads coming directly from Apple, as opposed to through Akamai.
Most recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook put a renewed emphasis on online services during the company's last earnings call.

i did deadlifts on tuesday. I took it easy and used very light weights. The day after lower back felt kind of stiff, and i could feel the muscles aching within it. It is better today when i woke up.
I was just wondering is this normal post training DOMS? I hope i don't get this after every session, as i want to start running?
Your lower back will feel a little stiff after deads, especially when new to deadlifting. You can still run with DOMS as DOMS isn't an injury.
You can still run with DOMS as DOMS isn't an injury.
I know. It's just movement is little limited or tight.
The more you train, the less ugly it gets. Even so, running the day after deads may just be scomething to avoid in your schedule.

Carol Mancke is an artist, architect and educator working at the intersection of art and cities. Her practice engages a range of time frames and scales involving drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, architecture and urbanism. Her work has featured in solo and group shows in Britain, Japan and Australia. For the past 8 years, she has been developing opportunities for collaborative thinking by making clearings - ephemeral places where time appears to pause and different kinds of conversations might be possible. Carol’s Table 15 responds to Hannah Arendt’s use of the image of a table with people seated around it to illustrate how our ‘common world’ holds us together and keeps us apart. If we take this image further and imagine the table as round and see ourselves seated around it, then we understand how we each see things placed on the table from a different perspective. Such a table might become a setting where Arendt’s ‘worldly reality’ could appear and thus contribute imaginatively to the generation of opportunities for action. Carol teaches at the University of San Francisco.
Trena Noval is an artist and designer whose work engages participatory research strategies, generosity, cross-disciplinary platforms and social engagement. At the heart of her work is the investigation of the intersections of social and natural ecologies. Currently she has been exploring the role of collective thinking and actions in a variety of contexts with others, forming communities of mutual practice. She is a founding artist of the 3rd Space Lab Collective, a cultural exchange group of artists from the Bay Area and Bangalore, India, and Fieldworks Collaborative co-founded with Ann Wettrich. Noval teaches at California College of the Arts, in San Francisco.

How to deal and cope with annoying people ?
Answer: The more you struggle with something, the more you stick to it. The more you fight with a kind of person, the more you will find yourself drawing this kind of person into your life.
Is there an issue you have been struggling with? Perhaps you dislike ugliness or lack of order, perhaps you dislike too much noise and so on. Just observe what you are trying to get rid off your days and life. This is the very thing you need you make peace with and accept.
Accepting someone you totally dislike will free you from being affected by this person. It will also free you space to welcome someone you like and enjoy more into your life. Observe how far you have already come in loving and accepting people, yourself and the world. You have come far, very far.
But there are other people you are here to embrace with your love, people you are here to love next. Who are these people? What do they do that you dislike or disapprove? Do they lie, invent stories? What habits annoy you? If you want, make a list of what and who is annoying you in your days. Also make sure to observe what is annoying about these things and people.
Take your list and make an inner commitment that in the coming months you will make an extra effort to fully love, accept and see the beauty within these things and within these people. Set your mind to make peace with these things and these people. You may not know how accepting them will be possible, but set your clear intent that you will find your way to be in peace with these people and things accepting them.
Trust, just trust the Universe can help you find a way to understand, love and accept anyone and anything. By making peace with that which annoys you, you free space for that which love to enter your life.
Life is magic, really magic, and once you understand the rules that govern life you are free to live and enjoy your life more fully.

It can be just an outline, or fully detailed plan with lists of characters, levels, items, secrets, side quests, and so on, but that might be overdoing it a bit.
Personally, I'd make that Pokemon 3D RPG that every Pokefan dreams of, with a Final Fantasy-like emmersive story (but with Pokemon).
Colosseum got SO close to realising that dream.
Didn't I start a post just like this already in the Classic Nintendo section?
I had a idea for a really cool game a while ago.... The Legend of Zelda - Lands of Hyrule.
Imagine, if you will, an MMO action/adventure game bassed in the world of OoT. Your character could be either human, wood elf, goron, or zora and could use a variety of weapons ranging from swords, axes, spears and the such. While you could play the game by yourself, many quests would require several players in a "Four Swords" sort of way.
Also, the world would expand a bit beyond just Hyrule Kingdom and include a few neighboring kingdoms as well.
Carrying on from Wind Waker, Cel-shaded Link and pals sail off to find new lands to live in. In the next Zelda game then, you would have to build and run new Hyrulean settlements in a Sim City sort of way, with different village configurations (e.g. If I put the Town Hall here and the shops there) unlocking different secrets and more importantly different dungeons.
The other half of the game would be obviously to play through the villages you created (chatting to villagers to see what needs to be changed/rearranged in the next building session) and complete the dungeons you unlocked (of course, you can't change the layout of the dungeons, as that might make the game too easy).
nintyboy, your idea sounds very VERY similar to the idea behind Fuuraibou no Siren 2: Oni Shuufui! Siren Shiro on N64 - where basically you head into monster/puzzle filled dungeons to find materials and helpers to rebuild a village. The better your village does, the more you get from the dungeons.
Hmmm...I'm afraid Japanese is a bit impenetrable to me (I can bearly speak my native language: posh scouser). All I can do is hope for a miracle that Nintendo can read my mind from a long distance, and then agree that my idea is a good one, which would be even less believable than the mind reading.
I'd like a GTA-style game except its set in Mute City. Ah hell, I think it'd be great if Nintendo farmed it out to Rockstar North (they used to have a pretty good relationship during the N64 days when they were DMA Design).
I'd quite like to see Argonaut work on another "Starfox Adventures" game. They seem to do a lot of work on 3D adventures these days, and if Rare isn't going to do it then might as well bring in the people who came up with the idea in the first place.
And they're British, so it won't be that big of a difference.
I'd quite like to see Argonaut work on another "Starfox Adventures" game.
Did they do Croc? They did Starfox, Stunt Race FX, Buck Bumble (which I now have), and lots of other good things. Now they're doing lots of computer generated TV stuff, and the Harry Potter console games... so not a perfect record.
But are you sure they did Croc?
Are you sure they did Croc?
edit: oh god! and catwoman!!
Hmm... but then consider how good SOME of their games are, and then think that they would be using Nintendo's IP (that Argonaut helped create), and so Nintendo would be guarding it closely.
And they're very good at graphics. Let's be honest, they can't do much worse than Rare's Starfox Adventures.
What's wrong with Croc? Is it that bad?
I've only played a demo of Croc 1 and the first part of Croc 2, and they both seemed like pretty good games.. Am I missing something?

New Delhi: India, the world's third-largest oil importer, has sealed a first deal to import crude oil from the US and the shipment is expected to touch Indian shores in October.
The deal, by state-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC), comes within weeks of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US when President Donald Trump talked of his country looking to export more energy products to India.
"We have bought 2 million barrels of crude oil from North America comprising 1.6 million barrels of US Mars crude and 400,000 barrels of Western Canadian Select," IOC Director (Finance) A K Sharma told here.
US Mars is a heavy, high-sulphur grade which will be processed at IOC's newest refinery at Paradip in Odisha.
"Given the current international oil markets where the differential between Brent (the benchmark crude or marker crude that serves as a reference price for buyers in western world) and Dubai (which serves as a benchmark for countries in the east) has narrowed.
"Even after including the shipping cost, buying US crude proved to be very cost competitive to us and so we bought one very large crude carrier (VLCC) cargo through a tender from the spot (or current) market," he said.
Sharma said the company will buy more crude from the US if the market conditions remain favourable for such purchases.
The IOC move has already led to more purchases by other Indian refiners. State-owned Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) too tendered to buy one million barrels of crude either for loading on August 16-September 5 or delivery on Septeber 26- October 15.
But for importing crude from the US, IOC had to take special permission from the shipping ministry.
"Indian government policy provides for purchases of crude oil to be made on condition that the shipping will be done by the Indian carriers (the buyer arranging for ships to ferry the oil).
"However, in case of US, this was not possible as VLCCs can't load on US ports and crude has to be first loaded on small ships and at high sea the same is put on a VLCC," he said.
So, IOC obtained permission to buy the cargo on a delivered basis where the seller arranges for the ships.
"Every time we decide to buy US oil, we will have to take this permission," he said adding the cargo contracted will be delivered at Paradip refinery in the first week of October.
Indian refiners are joining their Asian counterparts to diversify their crude slate following the narrowing of the Dubai spreads against West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent prices in the wake of OPEC/non-OPEC production cut deal.
Sharma said that IOC is looking at five to six grades of US crude, including Mars crude, for future purchases.

Tottenham and England full-back Kieran Trippier has admitted to watching his stunning World Cup free-kick "about 100 times".
Trippier curled a set-piece past Croatia goalkeeper Danijel Subasic to give England the lead in their World Cup semi-final, though the Three Lions went on to lose 2-1 after extra time.
As England prepare for Saturday's Nations League opener against Spain before facing Switzerland in a friendly three days later, Trippier told reporters: "I'm not going to lie to you, I've watched it back about 100 times.
"Obviously, I enjoyed that moment but even now it still hurts that we got beat. But I did watch it back about 100 times I'm not going to lie to you."
Trippier followed up his World Cup goal by scoring a free-kick for Spurs in their Premier League win over Fulham last month, and he is now sharing set-piece duties at club level with Christian Eriksen.
"To be fair to Christian we had a bit of banter about free-kicks and stuff as soon as we walked in [for pre-season training]," he said.
"In the last few games we've been sharing them out a little bit because of the opposition and which delivery can hurt them the most.
"It's all about the confidence at the time. Everyone knows how good Christian is at set plays and delivering a ball but against Fulham I just felt confident, first game back, and I said to him 'do you mind if I take this one?' He said 'no problem' - and I managed to score it."
Trippier has established himself for club and country thanks to his consistent performances on the right flank but, asked about the possibility of being dropped by England manager Gareth Southgate, the 27-year-old replied: "Obviously, all the boys are doing well here and for their clubs, so that's the manager's decision, if I play or don't play.
"Every opportunity on the playing field I try and do my best 100 per cent to show the manager that I want to play and just keep improving but it's the manager's decision at the end of the day on who he selects.
"So, if I don't play I'm not going to be disappointed, I'll help my team-mates, but I'll be training as hard as I can to make sure I am picked."

The ultimate nature destination for Californians, the Eastern Sierras have an unbelievable array of natural beauty and opportunities for outdoors adventures. You won’t be able to see it all in one trip (or ten), but wherever you choose to explore is guaranteed to be gorgeous.
The Sierra Nevadas span from Northern to Southern California and their eastern edge is paralleled by Highway 395, which offers easy access to most of the area’s destinations. Here are a few of my top picks, starting from the south.
The tallest mountain in the contiguous U.S., Mt. Whitney is accessible via a 22 mile round trip hike (permit required) or you can catch excellent views of it from the town of Lone Pine and the settlement of Whitney Portal, which has a fishing pond, store, and picnic area.
These rolling hills just west of Lone Pine have a rich cinematic history and look stunning with the Sierra Nevadas as a backdrop.
This beautiful lake a half-hour west of Bishop is surrounded by scenic peaks and connects to many hiking opportunities.
Another alpine lake accessible via car and located between Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, Rock Creek Lake offers close hiking access to dozens more shiny lakes.
A series of rustic dirt roads that are (perhaps barely) accessible by any car take you to this gorgeous pair of natural hot springs in the middle of nowhere a half hour east of Highway 395 south of Mammoth Lakes.
This resort city hosts the most famous ski area in California and dozens of tranquil mountain lakes with excellent hiking, fishing, and boating.
This unique structure is located just outside Mammoth Lakes and the park contains beautiful rivers, waterfalls, and lakes. Click here for more details.
The Eastern Sierras host Yosemite’s east entrance, offering the perfect chance to explore the less-visited Tuolumne Meadows section of the park with quiet alpine lakes, green meadows, rushing rivers, and tall peaks. Click here for more details.
The streams that feed into this large lake are one of Los Angeles’ major water sources and this giant which includes three large islands is incredible to explore via boat.
Death Valley National Park – Incredibly, the same corner of the state that hosts the tallest point in the contiguous U.S. (Mt. Whitney) also has the country’s lowest – Badwater Basin in Death Valley. This hot and dry region offers an incredible glance at an undeveloped and strangely beautiful desert.
The centrally located cities of Bishop and Mammoth Lakes have the most lodging and food options. On the south end of the Eastern Sierras, Lone Pine has some accommodations and restaurants; to the north, Bridgeport and Lee Vining are your best options.
There are hundreds of campgrounds throughout the region – click here to find one.

When Roscoe Tanner, a retired tennis star who had recently been released from prison, turned up to apply for a teaching job at his tennis clubs in Orange County, Calif., in 2004, Cecil Spearman was eager to hear what he had to say.
Spearman hired Tanner, who was a hit with the clubs’ members. But shortly after he co-signed on a car loan for Tanner, Spearman said, Tanner took off without notice. Months later, Spearman found out that Tanner was in jail and had never made payments on the car.
Thirty-five years ago, Tanner won the Australian Open. A top player in the 1970s, he also reached the United States Open semifinals twice and took Bjorn Borg to five sets in the Wimbledon final in 1979. He had a big serve, once clocked at 153 miles per hour, and an even bigger personality.
After leaving the men’s tour in 1984, Tanner went through two divorces, was sued for paternity and had a long list of legal battles involving financial misconduct that resulted in bankruptcy, eviction, warrants for his arrest and jail time. Tanner, 60, is now teaching tennis and living in Vero Beach, Fla., with his third wife, Margaret, and their 6-year-old daughter, Lacey.
In an interview before his arrest last month on charges of writing a worthless $1,200 check for boat repairs, Tanner said he was trying to turn his life around.
In 2010, a judge in Dade County, Ga., issued an order of contempt of court in connection with Tanner’s unpaid child support totaling more than $750,000. The order is still active, and if Tanner returns to Georgia, he could be prosecuted.
Tanner grew up in Lookout Mountain, Tenn., the son of a prominent lawyer. He earned a tennis scholarship to Stanford, where he helped turn the program into a perennial contender and graduated with a degree in political science in 1973. As a professional, Tanner earned more than $2 million and signed lucrative endorsement deals.
After sustaining an elbow injury in 1982, Tanner was like a flame-throwing pitcher who had lost his fastball. But he seemed to make a seamless transition into his second career, as a corporate spokesman, coach and businessman.
Then in 1994, a New Jersey woman named Connie Romano filed a paternity suit, contending Tanner was the father of her daughter, Omega Ann. He agreed to a $500,000 out-of-court settlement but did not make all the payments. In 1997, he was arrested on the court during a senior tournament in Florida for failure to appear in court in connection with the case.
That was the first in a string of incidents that resulted in three periods of incarceration for Tanner on charges related to writing bad checks and failing to make child-support payments.
In 2005, Steve Annacone offered Tanner a teaching job at his tennis academy in Knoxville, Tenn.
Within a few months, Tanner was arrested on the court again, this time on a Florida parole violation. He served more than a year in state prison in Lake Butler.
“It’s pretty close to impossible to find work after getting out of prison,” Tanner said.
In 2007, Stan Smith, a retired player and longtime friend, helped Tanner secure freelance jobs teaching tennis at clubs in Vero Beach, but Tanner’s financial problems continued.
Tanner bounced a check for two sport utility vehicles in 2008; he eventually paid for them. And according to court records, Tanner and his family were evicted from a rental property in Vero Beach in April 2010.
Some in the tennis world are unsure whether Tanner is ready to change.
But even some of Tanner’s detractors say they are still fond of him.
Smith, who was in Australia during Tanner’s most recent arrest, said that Tanner had done volunteer work in Vero Beach.
When asked to address his legal problems, Tanner said he “wasn’t going to fight back anymore.” He said that these days, his joy was sharing his love of tennis, and that he was teaching his daughter Lacey to play.
His daughter Tamara, 26, said that Tanner was a great father until her parents’ relationship went sour.

Fernandez said the three reported incidents are all within walking distance of the others and all occurred before 7 a.m. The descriptions of the man and manner of attack were also similar, he said.
“This is an all- hands-on-deck approach to this. We’re not taking any chances, given the fact that Halloween is around the corner. We’re going to have extra patrols out there,” Fernandez said.
Police are asking anyone who may have information to contact investigators. Police can be reached at 954-967-4321, or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

Triplet-like performance of that notation as notes inégales (jazz shuffle) play (help·info).
In music, notes inégales (French pronunciation: [nɔt ineɡal]; lit. unequal notes) refers to a performance practice, mainly from the Baroque and Classical music eras, in which some notes with equal written time values are performed with unequal durations, usually as alternating long and short. The practice was especially prevalent in France in the 17th and 18th centuries, with appearances in other European countries at the same time; and it reappeared as the standard performance practice in the 20th century in jazz.
The practice of notating pairs of unequal note lengths as pairs with equal notated value may go as far back as the earliest music of the Middle Ages; indeed some scholars believe that some plainchant of the Roman Catholic Church, including Ambrosian hymns, may have been performed as alternating long and short notes. This interpretation is based on a passage in Saint Augustine where he refers to the Ambrosian hymns as being in tria temporum (in three beats); e.g. a passage rendered on the page (by a later transcriber) as a string of notes of equal note value would be performed as half note, quarter note, half note, quarter note, and so on, in groups of three beats.
The rhythmic modes, with their application of various long–short patterns to equal written notes, may also have been a precursor to notes inégales, especially as they were practiced in France, specifically by the Notre Dame School. However the gap between the late 13th century ars antiqua use of the rhythmic modes and the middle of the 16th century, when Loys Bourgeois first mentioned notes inégales, is a large one, and little trace of the practice can be found in the fluid polyphony of the intervening period.
It was in France, beginning in the late 16th century, that notes inégales began to take on a critical role in performance practice. The earliest treatises that mention inequality of notes in performance indicate that the reason for this practice is to add beauty or interest to a passage which otherwise would be plain. Over 85 music theory and performance treatises from France alone mention the topic between 1550 and 1810, with the large majority written between 1690 and 1780. Within this body of writing there is considerable inconsistency, but by the late 17th century a consensus practice began to emerge.
8. In addition, the inégales could only function on one metrical level; for example, if sixteenths are to be played long–short, long–short, an even eighth-note pulse must be carefully maintained for the music to retain its shape.
In Georg Muffat's codification of notes inégales in the Lullist tradition, he says it is the first level of diminution that is subject to inequality procedure.
Sometimes the notes inégales are notated as unequal, for example in some of the keyboard works of François Couperin, where he uses a dot to indicate the lengthened note. This and similar passages by Rameau (in his first Gavotte) clearly show that this means to apply an even greater amount of inequality to dotted eighth–sixteenth note pairs than to eighth–eighth pairs, which are already understood to be played unequally. The exact amount of inequality required is also unspecified, and most of the treatises leave this detail to the taste of the performer. It may have varied from double-dotted to minimally perceptible, depending on the context. Some recent papers and books include a full analysis of this topic as well as practical guides for the performer. Also, musical clocks have been discovered from the period that show the dotting very clearly as such devices have "preserved performances of notes inégales that are often as subtle as a 3:2 ratio (i.e. three fifths of a beat for the first note, two fifths for the second in the pair), as well as the more obvious 2:1 ratio (triplets), and 3:1 (dotted eighth–sixteenth pairs and their multiples).
There were situations which were understood to be exempt from application of notes inégales. A broken arpeggiated figuration in the left hand, such as an Alberti bass, was always understood to be played regularly. Sometimes one sees the explicit marking: croches égales meaning equal quavers or eighth notes. Passages which mixed note values may have been exempted from the practice. Occasionally a long slur printed over a series of notes was understood to imply that all the notes should be played evenly, except that the first note under the slur could be accented. Passages which were highly disjunct were also less likely to be played unequally than conjunct passages, although the sources are not unanimous on even this.
If the effect of a passage was dotted, the compelling rhythm of the dotted notes, or notes inégales, would sometimes simply override all the rules. The Handel Fugue in D Minor from the First Sett of Suites 1709 in its first editions shows the first few notes of the theme with dotted rhythms, but the dots stop after 4 note for the first two entries; the next two entries Handel only bothers to dot the first two notes. The energy of the piece seems such that the dotted texture might best remain throughout, however the long–short notes inégales can occasionally be supplanted with some "short–long" moments, still retaining the dotted effect, or as John O'Donnell describes it, "The Majestic Style", but some variance can work quite effectively, and still adhere to many of the rules.
In particular, in much of French music, and a lot in Handel as well, there are problems the performer faces, and the most prevalent one is this: sometimes at the approach of cadences in an notes inégales texture, the composer suddenly writes some dotted notes out explicitly and sometimes then stops; the inconsistency of dotting has continued to be a problem for every musicologist, theoretical and performer. Anthony Newman has suggested in an article, that there was an undocumented convention that the dotted texture recedes generally at the approach to a cadence, all other musical factors and concerns being equal, and that is why the dots stop and start sometimes quite oddly towards the approach to cadence.
Often, the long–short version of notes inégales was indicated by slurred pairs of notes throughout the French repertoire in François Couperin, Jacques Duphly, Antoine Forqueray, Pierre Dumage, Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, Jean-François Dandrieu, and Jean-Philippe Rameau, to cite the more prominent keyboard composers from the French Baroque.
Occasionally the long–short version of notes inégales was reversed to a short–long, known sometimes as the Lombard rhythm or the Scotch snap.
The practice of slurred pairs of notes being possibly an indication of short–long "notes inégales" has been suggested to extend further than France to "French (Lullist) modelled" compositions throughout Europe, especially Germany, Austria, and England, and even to influence the performance of slurred pairs of notes in the fast movements of Beethoven (and other non-French and non-Baroque composers), such as in the Sonata in F♯ major, Op.83, among other sonatas, where the tempo and the slurred pairs can only result in a Lombardic or snapped short–long "notes inégales" performance.
In Restoration England, in the French modelled, Lullist influenced works of Henry Purcell, William Croft, Jeremiah Clarke and their contemporaries, the short–long slurred pairs of notes inégales can be found throughout the musical literature, and often variant sources "write out" the short–long "snapped" notes inégales rhythms explicitly.
One of the best sources for understanding the situation of notes inégales in France is the notation of music by composers from other European countries who wrote imitations of it. Music from Italy, Germany and England all borrowed this feature of French music, with the difference that the inequality of note values was often notated, since not all performers could be expected to add the notes inégales themselves (though evidence from Georg Muffat and Telemann strongly suggests that German performers would certainly be familiar with them).
Application of notes inégales to contemporary performance of music not written in France, for example the music of J.S. Bach, is extremely controversial, and indeed resulted in one of the most heated debates in 20th-century musicology. One school of thought attempted to show that the French practice was actually widespread in Europe, and performance of music by composers as diverse as Bach and Scarlatti should be suffused with dotted rhythms; another school of thought held that even-note playing was the norm in their music unless dotted rhythms were explicitly notated in the score. Evidence on both sides of the argument is compelling; for example 17th-century English writings recommending unequal playing (Roger North's autobiographical Notes of Me, written around 1695, describes the practice explicitly, in reference to English lute music), as well as François Couperin, who wrote in L'art de toucher le clavecin (1716), that in Italian music, Italians always write the notes exactly the way they want them played. Then again, the practice may have been more widespread in some areas, such as England, than others, such as Italy and Germany.
J.S. Bach famously imitated the style in Contrapunctus II from the Art of Fugue; however, in this piece the notes inégales are written out as dotted rhythms.
But in Contrapunctus VI, fully embracing notes inégales, a composition written in the complex texture of the "Ouverture", in Stile francese, Bach uses "the dotted style" in augmentation, and writes out the notes inégales although many treatises describe the assimilation of upbeat notes to have the slower rhythms become "in sync" with the shorter notes of the fast upbeat note groups, as well as the "short" notes of the inégales pairs.
And perhaps most significantly, in Contrapunctus 16 – actually two Fugues one normal and its pair in mirror inversion, the notes inégales are written out in a texture of running triplets, showing the varying value of the dot, as well as the varying "swing" of notes inégales. And it is of interest to note that in the keyboard arrangements of this work, the notes inégales are not written out, and this suggests strongly that the practice of notes inégales, of rhythmic alteration, was known to Bach and his circle. In his teens, Bach travelled and studied at the French-modelled Court of Georg Wilhelm in Celle (near Lüneburg) in northern Germany, where there was an orchestra modelled on the Concert Royal of Lully. During this time it is believed he studied and wrote compositions in the French Style, such as a five-part incomplete Fantasie and Fugue for organ, BWV 562, that is based exactly on the voicing, texture, and structure of the works of the French baroque composer De Grigny, and would make it eligible for notes inégales. His later work, the Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 537, also uses the same mostly 8th note texture, is written in the same time signature, features a similar texture, and responds well to the application of long–short notes inégales to the evenly notated 8th notes, and short–long to the slurred 8th note pairs, also typical and consistent to classic baroque French notes inégales procedures.
Handel also seemed to use and understand notes inégales in many of his works. However, like often in the French literature, there are also inconsistencies which have never been fully explained where dots start and then stop for no clear reason, but as Newman has observed, mostly this happens towards the approach to cadences. But in general, in many of his suites, and even his orchestral music, the application of notes inégales finds a solid home in Handel. Most obvious are in some of the Ouvertures, but there are many movements where a subtle notes inégales works well, such as in the Sarabande of the E Minor suite (from the set of Eight Great Suites; his earliest compilation); and numerous Menuets throughout his keyboard and even some of his orchestral works. Even in his orchestral music, and vocal music, Handel can have some very "French" moments – some of the menuets in particular, keyboard as well as orchestral, can work well with a subtle notes inégales, despite Handel's very intercontinental lineage. Whether in Germany or England, he was clearly a master at the French notes inégales as well as the Ouverture style. He was strongly influenced by Georg Muffat's nephew, who will be discussed below, and perhaps that is a part of Handel's reception of the French Style of playing. And occasionally one finds movements that don't seem necessarily "French", as over the years, Handel did develop a very strong "English" style that was unique to him, but nonetheless, sound very much more "revealed" when subjected to notes inégales aka inequality procedure.
The entire corpus of stylistic practices related to the Lullist model, of which notes inégales was one of the most significant features of rhythmic alteration, was perhaps widely spread throughout late 17th and early 18th-century Germany and Austria by the Austrian composer Georg Muffat. He went to the Lullist court to study and codify the Lullist performance practices and did it in an exhaustive foreword to his Florilegium Secundum, a collection containing orchestral suites based on the models and performance practices of Lully, synthesized with Muffat's studies with Corelli in Italy, which he previously presented to the musical public in his Armonico Tributo and Florilegium Primum.
Writers have long credited Muffat's impact with his publication of an explicitly detailed foreword in German, French, Italian and Latin in 1698, where he codifies more explicitly than any other writer (and primary performance practice source) the Lullist Manner of Playing. Through the impact of his Florilegium Secundum, following his earlier also significant works, Muffat has been credited by many, including the great 18th century writer and music critic Charles Burney to introducing the "French Ouverture" throughout the rest of Europe, but Muffat can be perhaps even more credited as "creating" the German style – as a remarkable and unique synthesis of the Italian and French styles into a "new, hybrid, amalgamated style"; creating a uniquely identifiable texture what has come down to us as the beginnings of a true, unique, German musical style.
Certainly this new complex transformation and amalgamation of the Italian style with the new "Fashionable" Lullist/French style is evident in the complex French Ouverture textures found throughout Bach's works, and explicitly formed the models of Bach's own Orchestral Suites, and the Ouverture nach Französischer Art, BWV 831, which Bach published along with the Italienisches Konzert, BWV 971, which show a profound intensification of texture compared to the Austrian and German Music that preceded J.S. Bach.
In Bach's textures, the French composer's 8th notes which were eligible notes inégales became Bach's 16th notes. But at the same time, other rhythms were "sharpened" and certain types of three note sixteenth note figures were often "compressed to three 32nd note upbeat figures. And upbeat 8th notes became upbeat 16th notes. (All the would be evenly written eight notes are written out in long–short notes inégales). Bach's texture was very much more complex than that of the Lully and Muffat. As a result, there was ambiguity for what notes would be eligible for notes inégales performance.
In an earlier version of Ouverture nach Französischer Art, there is a manuscript in a student of Bach's hand, Johann Preller, the three note 32nd notes are not yet notated as such. Instead the texture is full of 16th notes which have Preller's ornaments in all the places that would suggest notes inégales of the long–short variety – most of Preller's trills and mordents are on the first and third note of every group of four 16th notes – the notes that if subjected to standard long–short notes inégales would become longer by a dot – and have more time for an ornament; indeed the ornaments that happen on would be the third 16th note would consequently make the unanchored groups of three impossible to sharpen rhythmically into upbeat 32nd notes, aka, in stile francese; or as Burney describes; the groups of short and fast upbeat figures that define the texture of the [French] Ouverture.
However, preparing the work for publication, Bach realized his complex texture was misunderstood, and that in fact most of the 16th notes were to be played not notes inégales, but in "Ouverture style", where the groups of three "unanchored" (meaning the first of each group of four 16th notes was either tied, or a rest) the following three 16th notes could be said to be "unanchored". Such 16th notes are "compressed to become 32nd note upbeat figures throughout most of the "Ouverture" section of the movement. However, in the 13th measure there is a passage with anchored 16th notes which in fact are eligible for long–short notes inégales, and Bach "leaves them be". A performer may apply notes inégales to the 16th notes in that passage effectively. Again, consistent with the Lullist model, throughout the rest of the overture, there are no evenly written 8th notes; they have all be "written out" in notes inégales like Contrapunctus 2 of Die Kunst der Fuge as dotted 8ths and 16th notes. In performance, it is likely that the notes inégales will end up even sharper, with the long note of the long–short pairs becoming longer, so the short upbeat note can fit in with the last of the groups of the upbeat 32nd notes; all of which is consistent with the flexibility of notes inégales, as well as the concept of "upbeat assimilation", another legacy of in stile francese. In one way, to the 17th- and 18th-century composer/performer, notes inégales was an interdependent consequence of "ouverture style", or in stile francese.
Other movements by Bach in Ouverture Texture, where the 16th notes can be played in long–shortnotes inégales are the Fugue in D Major, WTCI; the Gigue in the French Suite in D Minor; the fugue in D Minor from WTC II – where the 16th notes can be played in long–short notes inégales against the general triplet texture (not unlike the fugue from the Kunst der Fuge in the keyboard arrangements, and the 16th notes in Ouverture from the D Major Partita, in the slow Ouverture section.
Outside of the keyboard literature, in the cello and lute suites, the suite in C Minor has two versions, and the suite opens with a Prelude that is in stile francese. The early version is like the early version of the Ouverture; mostly 16th notes that could? be eligible for notes inégales. However, Bach rewrites the later version again shows a clarification of the evenly written 16th notes that are unanchored, being subject to "overture style" rhtymic alteration where the unanchored three 16th note groups are assimilated into groups of three 32nd notes upbeats, against a texture that is mostly full of long–short notes inégales dotted eight note/sixteenth note pairs.
Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, a highly influential composer, who lived a generation before Bach, also "adopted" this new transformation of an Austrian/German national musical style. A study of Fischer is outside the scope of the topic of notes inégales, but his large Chaconne in G Major – a copy of which was made by Purcell's teacher, John Blow, surely not a coincidence – is written solely in even eighth notes in the first of its two G Major sections (as well as the Chaconne's dénouement conclusion). Fischer's Chaconne greatly resembles the Chaconnes of Louis Couperin and Nicolas Le Bègue in key, time signature, texture and affect, both of whom are contemporary to Lully, and fully qualify for notes inégales treatment of the evenly notated eighth notes.
With the application of notes inégales to the evenly notated eighth notes in the Fischer, the work even more comes alive as the French dance that is the Chaconne. Fischer's collection of suites published as Musicalischer Parnassus are also strongly evident of Muffat's amalgamated stylistic influence, and Fischer's compositions also foreshadow the complexity of Bach. Bach knew the works of Fischer and numerous fugue themes from the Well Tempered Clavier are taken from Fischer's own earlier collection preludes and fugues, some note for note. Fischer's most famous suite in D minor – Uranie from his collection of very French influenced suites found in the collection Musicalischer Parnassus – feature and Allemande and Courante that "need" notes inégales; and with the application of notes inégales Fischer's strong artistic compositional hand become even more evident.
In the first work of the Florilegium Secundum, Fasciculus I. – Nobilis Juventus. 1. Ouverture, Georg Muffat writes an Ouverture in stile Francese, in which he writes out the notes inégales in the topmost part, the Violino, in an approximate performance "realization" where the long–short pairs are explicitly notated in dotted eighth/sixteenth note pairs as the stylistically correct performance practice of long–short notes inégales. In the Violetta part immediately below, Muffat writes out the part in conventional, unrealized, notation. This can be seen when stepwise eighth notes are introduced in measure 12. In the Violino, they are realized in explicitly long–short pairs; in the Violetta, they are still "encoded" as they would traditionally appear in the guise of evenly notated 8th notes; the composer clearly expecting the performer to perform them in long–short notes inégales.
The practice of writing out an explicatio, often in the first instance, can be found in Francois Couperin's Premiere Ordre where he writes out samples of the kinds of embellishments he expects the performer to add upon repeat. He also writes out the long–short notes inégales fully rhythmically "realized" as well. Couperin does this in the Courante and the Gavotte, expecting the performer to take the various embellishments, rhythmic alterations and ornaments, and apply them "le bon gout" (in good taste) throughout his oeuvre. This practice of giving an explicatio was also followed by J.S. Bach in the Sarabande of his French Suite in D Minor, BWV 812, and similarly, in the Sarabande of his English Suite in G Minor, BWV 808. It is clear there was a precedent by composers to give models for the correct study and realization of performance practice issues in the works themselves, often in the context of an oral tradition where there was no need to write a treatise.
Muffat, publishing his Florilegium with multilingual prefaces, clearly intending his work to be widely published (which it was), and as there would be no opportunity for an oral tradition to transmit the performance practices, he decided in order for the music to be played correctly, he would codify the Lullist practices – with musical examples of how to perform the ornaments, interpret the various rhythmic alterations including notes inégales, as well as tempo instructions, and bowing instructions, and when and where to apply notes inégales and all the variety of Lullist embellishment and ornamentation, especially when there is no obvious indication. His extremely detailed codification of notes inégales and the Lullist performance practices, and in practical combination with his suites, and including further explication by explicit half encoded/half written out solutions to demonstrate the correct and appropriate application of notes inégales in the Premiere suite of the Florilegium Secundum, would achieve a clarity of understanding the rhythmic alteration procedure of notes inégales to a huge musical circle beyond his personal scope and of his musical circle which included his colleague Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber's world in 17th century Salzburg, Austria.
In England, style Francese was deliberately introduced in the 17th century by order of the King, sending a 14-year-old exceptionally talented chorister and composer, the young Henry Purcell, to the Lullist court to study and master the style of Lully and the Lullist orchestra "Chapel Royal" which had become famous throughout Europe, after which Purcell was to return to England to form an English version of the Chapel Royal. Purcell's orchestral music and keyboard music are, like Muffat's synthesis of the Italian and French style, a synthesis of the English and French style into a much more complex English style where the application of notes inégales to the music of Purcell and his contemporaries is essential to correct performance of the music. Also of great importance for Purcell and his contemporaries – in explicio – are the varying versions of numerous movements from the suites with notes inégales unwritten, and written out explicitly in some MS. versions, and completely encoded in other MS. versions.
With respect to the short–long, snapped version of notes inégales, this rhythmic and stylistic feature – the lombardic snap – became a recognizable stylistic cliche in Purcell's music, and in the music of his contemporaries. The snapped pair is often stepwise, but is nearly as often found in slower textures in downward snapping pairs of notes, the second of which note, the longer, destination note, together with the first note of the notes inégales, form a diminished 4th to a leading tone (especially in minor keys), but can often be found used in various non-stepwise intervals, seemingly at odds with the "general rules" of notes inégales; nonetheless, this usage is pervasive in the music of Restoration period England by Purcell and his contemporaries.
Perhaps one of the most famous instances of notes inégales, which for many years was incorrectly heard (and played) is in the so-called "Masterpiece Theatre" trumpet tune. This famous trumpet tune is actually a French baroque work, Fanfare-Rondeau, by Jean-Joseph Mouret incorrectly attributed to Jeremiah Clarke. It is often heard played as even eighth notes, but its correct performance would almost certainly be that all of its evenly notated 8th notes would be performed in long–short notes inégales!
An alternative point of view is that this idea of Notes Inégales as uneven beats with a fixed perfectly regular amount of swing as in modern Jazz is completely wrong. Instead the idea might have been to install a sense of musical surprise and unpredictability in the listener, a sense that every note is new. This alternative interpretation arises out of a detailed understanding and familiarity with other concepts that would have been well known to musicians of the time.
Evidence from mechanical clocks to the contrary isn't too convincing once you have this alternative interpretation, because musical clocks, by their nature, are of course mechanical. It could just be a limitation of the craftsmen in ability to reproduce the fluidity of the rhythms of musicians of the time in a clock.
Entasis is an ancient Greek term meaning tensioning. Speech that is delivered in a metrically perfect manner has the power to cause the listener's brain to shut down and cease processing the meaning of what is being said...all within a few seconds of hearing such speech. The human brain needs the condition of constant or stable irregularity to remain alert and attentive. Regularity eliminates the feeling of discomfort which chaos, the erratic and irregular, often creates. The balance in tension between the feeling of predictability, which constancy (stability) provides, and the feeling of anticipation, which irregularity and unpredictability creates, is a state of entasis. (The opposite of entasis is stasis or staticness.) In normal human speech, Entasis is brought about by the flow of thought, and this flow is both irregular and constant. So it must be in music.
Metrical exactitude in musical performance also guarantees that most music is only heard but not listened to. It is the embodiment of slavishness in music, i.e. the music is the slave of the beat when it should be its master, exactly the opposite of what C.P.E. Bach suggested when he wrote that one should "endeavor to avoid everything mechanical and slavish. Play from the soul, not like a trained bird."
A similar practice to notes inégales occurs from the 20th century to the present day, in jazz, although the term "swung note" is used by jazz musicians and listeners. Indeed, it is so universally understood that a stream of eighth notes is to be rendered unequally that the phrase "straight eighths" is used whenever a jazz arranger wants a performer to play eighth notes evenly. In jazz practice, in addition, it is common for the notes not only to differ in duration but in intensity. Swung eighths written on the beat are generally read as quarter-note triplets, while notes written on off-beats are played as eighth note triplets. Therefore, the underlying rhythmic grid to most jazz music is an eighth note triplet pattern. Most musicians don't do the math involved in playing notes, instead simply feeling an uneven subdivision. Occasionally, sixteenth notes are swung and played fitting into a sixteenth-note triplet grid.
The similarity to the rule of 17th-century France is striking, in that jazz is organized in rhythmic layers, with chord changes often at the level of the bar or half-bar, followed by a quarter-note beat, and an eighth-note level in which notes are played freely, and almost always unevenly. Some scholars (2) have speculated a connection by way of the influence of French music in New Orleans on early jazz styles.
Traditional Sacred Harp singers often sing in the rhythm of notes inégales, thus deviating from the printed notes; for details see Performance practice of Sacred Harp music.

Preparing for the Hackathon project showcase at Mozilla headquarters.
A short report today on the inspiring Mars Education Hackathon I recently had the good fortune to be invited to attend in San Francisco.
Hosted by the Mozilla Foundation, digital studio MX, and local PBS affiliate KQED, the two-day blitz included six ad hoc project teams – fresh and interdisciplinary collaborations between planetary scientists, computer scientists, educators, innovators, multimedia producers, and historians.
Attendees represented the gamut of potential stakeholders, from NASA’s Ames Research Center to science and education TV production firm Spine Films. I was there on behalf of MX studios, with whom I’d had the pleasure of supporting as a space/planetary science consultant.
What was it exactly that brought such a motley crew together near the Bay?
Working as fast as we could, our mission was straightforward: Leverage recent advances in computing and networking technology in combination with the truly stunning quantity and quality of data available to us from the Red Planet in order to give science education a much-needed kick in the pants.
In my view, it was a rousing success.
View of hacking in progress – two of the Hackathon working groups at KQED headquarters.
The team projects were each ambitious and varied from virtual science learning environments using actual NASA rover models to orbital flight trajectory and planning simulators; from helping students pack for a trip to Mars to using VR headsets to explore the Martian landscape with their own eyes from the comfort of a classroom.
In the end, I truly believe the seeds of future models for using computing technology to integrate frontier science into the classroom were sewn here. Education needs this kind of work to compete with gaming multimedia that, unfortunately, is usually just much more engaging than learning-based systems. But it doesn’t have to be.

Event: 2013 ECAC Championships - Princeton, N.J.
The Short Story: Sophomore Alexis Stroman led the VCU women's track & field to a strong showing in the final meet before NCAA East Regionals. Stroman and classmate Kiara Porter helped the Rams finish with 12 overall team points, which ranked in the top-25 at the meet which featured over 50 squads from up and down the East Coast. Stroman posted two PRs, including coming just .03 seconds short of tying the school record in the 100-meter hurdles.
Porter raced to a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.71. It was her third-best 200 time of the spring.
Stroman's weekend started with a PR in the prelims of the 100-meter hurdles, clocking in at 14.02 to advance to the semifinals. Her time of 14.05 in the semifinals was good for sixth, earning a spot in Sunday's finals. That's when the Cheltenham, Md. native took it to new heights, breaking 14 for the first time with a time of 13.91. She was just .03 seconds off Donna Pegram's 20-year old school record of 13.88.
Porter also teamed with classmates Nicole Grasty and Amethyst Polk, along with junior Niaimani Aduma on day one to post the seventh best prelim time in the 4x400 meter relay, clocking in at 3:43.64. Day two had Polk, Grasty and Porter team with fellow sophomore Jazmine Wright in the finals of the 4x400, posting a time of 3:44.11, good for seventh-best in the finals of the event.

Due to everyone’s conflicting schedules, my family celebrated my 27th birthday today. Since I usually celebrate my birthday on my birthday, a number of my siblings wished me a “Happy Birthday Party” instead. Lol.
My party was just an intimate gathering with my parents, siblings, and grandparents.
Menu: pizza, salad, beer, cake and ice cream; Entertainment: Rummycub, Farkle and Apples to Apples.
A big thank you to my wonderful family for a lovely party and for coming out in this frigid weather~!
A big thank you to everyone for making last year so memorable! Cheers to more posts and adventures!
My baby sister Nina turns 17 tomorrow!!! It’s craziness yo! D: Anywhozits I am unable to attend her birthday party this year. Plain and simple it just isn’t going to work out so….
More sprinkles couldn’t hurt right?
Add sprinkles to cupcake cake and presto!
The idea is to zoom over there before work, gallumph into her room, wake her up, sing happy birthday and take a cupcake for the road. Yep. Nothing can possibly go wrong with this plan.

Pop-rock trio Against the Current began their musical journey by recording YouTube covers of popular songs – everything from Taylor Swift’s “Red” to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Last month, they released an LP of original material, In Our Bones, but the Poughkeepsie, New York rockers haven’t forgotten their tribute roots.
“One of [mine] and Dan’s favorite Blink-182 songs, which we thought was theirs, is ‘Another Girl Another Planet,’ and we just found out it was a cover the other day,” adds Ferria, referencing the pop-punk band’s 2005 version of the Only Ones’ 1978 original.
Elsewhere, Costanza talks about how social media has revolutionized the way artists expand their brand and interact with fans. The singer started her own YouTube channel, on which she shares makeup secrets, and it’s helped expose those viewers to Against the Current.
