ESPN analyst: Arizona closer to being a 'factor' than Arizona State
They each will have led their teams to bowl games in year one, surpassing all expectations placed upon their programs.
When asked which team is closest to competing for a Pac-12 South championship, though, ESPN NCAA football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said it's the team in Tucson.
"I think Rich Rod, because of his style of offense, if he gets the personnel to run it I think they can be a factor," he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday. "With Arizona State, I think it's going to be a little bit more of a challenge.
Listen: Kirk Herbstreit, College Gameday Analyst Kirk Herbstreit joins Doug and Wolf to talk about a crazy weekend in college football. If Notre Dame loses how open is the fight for the BCS title game? Is Stanford's Head Coach, David Shaw, NFL bound? Plus, Kirk talks about the college football realignment and what it is causing this huge shift in conferences. And, Why does Kirk say it is going to be a challenge for Todd Graham to have ASU competitive?
Herbstreit believes the caliber of teams the Arizona schools will be competing with in the conference is high, making it tough for either to consistently be near the top of the standings.
"What is realistic? I think every five years," he said. "Both of those programs should be able to get to a level where they're competitive enough to challenge USC and UCLA."

Earthquakes Pre-Academy players JJ Foe Nuphaus and Mario Rocha Jr are among 52 players in their age group (born in 2000 or 2001) to be invited for the boys id2 Program Training Camp in Casa Grande, Arizona. The camp will be held at Grande Sports World and will feature the top players from across the country for four days of high-level training and off-field sessions from Dec. 12-15. The invitation-only event will give both players the opportunity to compete in front of U.S. Soccer National Team staff, as well as some of the nation's best coaches. The age groups for the camp were selected to align with the scouting priorities for the U.S. Soccer U-14 National Teams.
ABOUT THE id2 PROGRAM
id2 Training Camps are invitation-only events that bring together the nation's top male and female youth players for four days of competition, evaluation and fun. U.S. Soccer National Team staff, some of the nation's top coaches as well as elite guest coaches and players attend id2 Training Camps. In addition to the on-field sessions, id2 Training Camps feature guest speakers, lectures/classroom sessions and other offerings, which make for a complete experience.
U-18 Academy standout JT Marcinkowski sat down with U.S. Soccer to talk experience, leadership and future goals.
We expect big things from this dynamic 'keeper. See for yourself:
U.S. Soccer invited 64 elite players from across the country to participate in the National Combine, designed to build the U-18 Men's National Team pool.
Two current Earthquakes academy players were in the mix, including goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski from Alamo, Calif. and forward Amir Bashti from Cupertino, Calif. Marcinkowski, the Quakes U-16 Academy keeper, recently competed with the squad abroad in the Caspian Cup. Bashti, a midfielder also on the Quakes' U-16 Academy team, has been ranked nationally by Topdrawersoccer.com and led the team to the playoffs earlier this Summer.
The two will travel to Portland for this year's National Combine at Nike's World Headquarters. This five day camp, running from Aug. 9-13, brings the country's elite 15 to 17 year old players together. The combine is an opportunity for the nation's top palyers to be evaluated by National Team staff and scouts from across the country.
Full roster:
Kendall McIntosh, former Earthquakes Academy player and current Santa Clara University goalkeeper, is in Turkey competing with the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team in the U-20 World Cup. McIntosh sends sjearthquakes.com photos and updates from his journey:
June 18, 2013
After a good week and a half of training in Portugal, we ended our trip on a high note with a 3-1 win over the Portugese U-20s. We arrived in Turkey yesterday night - it took a while to get through customs and to find our way to our bus.
After a good night's rest, we had an early breakfast and a team walk to get prepared for the day. One of the bigger events we had today was a meeting with the FIFA representatives so that they could explain their rules and expectations for the tournament.
Finally towards the end of the day we had training at Kasimpasa Spor Kulübü, a first division club in Turkey.

Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to follow Kendall McIntosh on Twitter.
After defeating the Seattle Sounders and Crossfire Premier and tying the Cal Odyssey, the San Jose Earthquakes U-18 team secured a wildcard spot in the 2013 playoffs. The team will be making its first appearance in the USSDA playoffs since becoming an academy program.
The team is led by co-captains Jesse Morales and Trevor Long, Roberto Mendoza, Bryce Clark, Isaiah Dargan, and leading-scorer Elisama Padilla.
The Earthquakes finished the season fourth in the Northwest Division with a record of 16-11-1. The team's defense, anchored by Long and Dargan, allowed the second fewest goals in the division behind only the first-place Vancouver Whitecaps. Padilla (15) and Morales (10) have accounted for 25 of the team's 62 goals.
The playoffs will be held at FC Dallas Park from June 24-27. The team will be riding a hot streak into the postseason as they finished the season 4-1-1 and outscored opponents 16-6 over their last six games.

Faced the day with fear inside

Do my best to be what you want

I want you here so I feel safe
No longer scared when I'm with you
Could close my eyes if I want to.

OAKLAND, CA (January 27, 2013) - Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Davi Millsaps extended his lead in the AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship to seven points with second place at Saturday's fourth round at Oakland. Millsaps had a great start in the Main Event, missing a huge pile-up behind him, and riding smart for the 20-lap race to collect his third podium from four races. Said Millsaps: "It was a good ending to a day that started off not that great and I'm pretty excited about it; a pretty cool ride. First practice and second practice were not that great, but the third practice was better. I was still uncomfortable and not feeling it and even in the heat race I was struggling. To come out on the podium definitely got my confidence back up." In the 250cc class, Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Jason Anderson felt like Oakland owed him one after suffering a leg injury in 2012 as he headed for a first career podium: This year, Anderson qualified the best he ever has in practice, putting in several impressive times. In his heat race, he was involved in a first turn altercation that put him at the back of the pack, but he managed to fight his way to third. Then in the 250 Main, he raced to a podium position with third. Said Anderson: "This weekend was good. I came into the race a little sick and was just trying to salvage the day, but it ended up being my best weekend so far. I'm happy with that, so just ready to build on that heading into next weekend." Anderson's team-mate Ryan Sipes is still recovering from the crash he was involved in last week, but was at Oakland to support the team. Sipes is hoping to be back fighting for podiums when the series heads south to San Diego. Said Sipes: "I thought the night went really well for the team. Jason rode a solid race for third. It looked like he finally got a good start and just rode comfortably out there and definitely something to build on. Davi rode great again. He was the only guy on Ryan Villopoto's level and rode smart for a solid second place and still has the points lead! I'm ready to get back out there and mix it up in the front with those guys. My hand is getting better every day so it's just a matter of time."

Hey everyone , did a search in google for Civil War Forums and got this page. I Have just recently gotten heavy into civil war history and books. Reading Cain at Gettysburg and Jeff Shaar's new book about Shiloh. Very Excited to be on this Forum! |

Plenty of categories to post in, plenty of threads to post in. Think we've got a thread on Shaara's books in the books, movies, and TV section and I know his new book was mentioned there a while ago, before it was released. My only piece of advice is to try and stay civil. One thing to have an arguement as long as it's a civilized debate rather than an arguement where there's a lot of heated words and name calling. |

Since the phenomenal success of "The little book of calm", publishers have been falling over themselves to produce "little books" of everything else, presumably in the hope that the essential ingredient was the littleness, rather than the calmness. Although, at 5 inches by 7¼, "1089 and all that" makes a rather big little book, and its content couldn't be further from the banalities of "The little book of calm", there is something of a "little book of mathematics" about it, with its short chapters and personal narrative. |
Paul Erdös is reported to have said "A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems". We may never know if he appreciated the mathematics behind the perfect dunk of a biscuit into said coffee, but we can all begin to understand the ubiquity of maths in our lives, thanks to Len Fisher's delightful book. The subtitle is "The science of everyday life", though pretty much all the content is maths with the equations (mostly) taken out. Perhaps Professor Fisher was advised that sales would suffer if they weren't, but anyone interested in the applications of mathematics to the real world will find plenty to amuse and educate.
Despite its title, Carl Djerassi's latest play, Calculus, is more like a lesson in history or even psychology than one in mathematics. This is because Djerassi's intention was to explore the moral calculus that was involved in the discovery of the mathematical technique, rather than the technique itself.
During September and October, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences showed a small exhibition of two suites of photo-etchings with mathematical components by the Canadian artist Catherine M Stewart, who studied both maths and physics in the course of her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. Elements of Grace is a collection of 12 photo-etchings which combine diagrams from Newton's Principia Mathematica (1729) with photodetails of the human body.
Euclid defined what later became known as the Golden Ratio thus:
A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser.
Anyone who thought geometry was boring or dry should prepare to be amazed. Despite its worthy cover this book is exactly what its title says - a story - and the plot of this story involves life, death and revolutions of understanding and belief, and stars the some of the most famous names in history.

Song Yet Sung
James McBride - Author
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird, winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction. In the days before the Civil War, a runaway slave named Liz Spocott breaks free from her captors and escapes into the labyrinthine swamps of Maryland's eastern shore, setting loose a drama of violence and hope among slave catchers, plantation owners, watermen, runaway slaves, and free blacks. Liz is near death, wracked by disturbing visions of the future, and armed with "the Code," a fiercely guarded cryptic means of communication for slaves on the run. Liz's flight and her dreams of tomorrow will thrust all those near her toward a mysterious, redemptive fate. Filled with rich, true details—much of the story is drawn from historical events—and told in McBride's signature lyrical style, Song Yet Sung is a story of tragic triumph, violent decisions, and unexpected kindness. the code On a grey morning in March 1850, a colored slave named Liz Spocott dreamed of the future. And it was not pleasant. She dreamed of Negroes driving horseless carriages on shiny rubber wheels with music booming throughout, and fat black children who smoked odd-smelling cigars and walked around with pistols in their pockets and murder in their eyes. She dreamed of Negro women appearing as flickering images in powerfully lit boxes that could be seen in sitting rooms far distant, and colored men dressed in garish costumes like children, playing odd sporting games and bragging like drunkards—every bit of pride, decency, and morality squeezed clean out of them. Liz had this dream in captivity, just as the flickering light of her own life was disappearing, and when she awoke from it realized with a gasp that it was some kind of apparition and she had to find its true meaning in this world before she died. This brought her more grief than her condition at the time, which was not pleasant, in that she'd been lying for three weeks, badly wounded, imprisoned in an attic on Maryland's eastern shore. She had taken a musket ball to the head at Ewells Creek, just west of New Market. It was five a.m. when she was hit, running full stride on a brisk March morning behind three other slave women who had made a desperate dash for freedom after two days of keeping a hairsbreadth from two determined slave catchers who had chased them, ragged and exhausted, in a zigzag pattern through the foggy swamps and marshland that ran from Bishops Head Island up through Dorchester County. They were nearly caught twice, the last by inches, the four saved by a white farmer's wife who warned them at the last minute that a party with horses, dogs, and rifles awaited them nearby. They had thanked the woman profusely and then, explicably, she demanded a dime. They could not produce one, and she screamed at them, the noise attracting the slave catchers, who charged the front of the house while the women leaped out the back windows and sprinted for Ewells Creek. Liz never even heard the shot, just felt a rush of air around her face, then felt the cool waters of the creek surrounding her and working their way down her throat. She tried to rise, could not, and was hastily dragged to shallow water by the other women, who took one look at the blood gushing out near her temple and said, Good-bye, chile, you free now. They gently laid her head on the bank of the muddy creek and ran on, the sound of barking dogs and splashing feet echoing into the empty forest, the treetops of which she could just make out as the fog lifted its hand over the dripping swamp and the sun began its long journey over the Maryland sky. Not two minutes later the first dog arrived. He was a small white and brown mongrel who ran up howling, his tail stiff, and ran right past her, then glanced at her and skidded to a stop, as if he'd stumbled upon her by accident. If Liz weren't shot and panicked, she would have remembered to laugh, but as it was, sitting in water up to her waist, she felt her face folding into the blank expression of nothingness she had spent the better part of her nineteen years shaping; that timeworn, empty Negro expression she had perfected over the years whereby everything, especially laughter, was halted and checked, double-checked for leaks, triple-checked for quality control, all haughtiness, arrogance, independence, sexuality excised, stamped out, and vanquished so that no human emption could emerge. A closed face is how you survive, her uncle Hewitt told her. The heart can heal, but a closed face is a shield, he'd said. But he'd died badly too. Besides, what was the point? She was caught. The hound approached and she felt her lips curl into a smile, her face folding into submission and thought bitterly: This is how I'm gonna die—smiling and kowtowing to a dog. The dog ruff-ruffed a couple of times, sniffed, and edged closer. She guessed he couldn't be a Cuban hunting dog, the type the slave hunters favored. A Cuban hunting dog, she knee, would have already ripped her face off. --C'mon boy, she said. C'mere. You hungry? You ain't no hunting dog, is you? She reached into her pocket and produced a piece of wet bread, her last. The dog edged forward. Sitting in water up to her hips, she propped herself up and gentle leaned towards him, her hand extended. She stroked him gently as he ate, then wrapped her fingers around his collar, ignoring the blinding pain in her face. --You shy of water? she asked gently. He sniffed for more bread as she calmly stroked him and tenderly pulled him into the water until he was up to his chest. She tasted warm fluid in her mouth, realized it was blood, and spat it out, edging him deeper in. A surge of dizziness came and passed. With great effort, she slowly slid backwards into deeper water, easing him in, the sound of the busy current filling her ears as it reached her neck. The dog was eager to follow at first, wagging his tail. When the water reached his throat he began to pull back; however, it was too late. She had him now. Holding his collar, she desperately tried to yank his head into the water to drown him, but the dog resisted and she felt her strength suddenly vanish. Over his shoulder, through the dim fog and low overhanging trees of the nearby bog, she could see the horses now, two of them, thundering through the swamp, the riders ducking through the low overhanging juniper and black gum trees, their coats flying outward, horses splashing forward. She heard a man shout. The dog, hearing the shouting of his master, seemed to remember that he was a hunter of humans and attempted a clumsy, snarling lunge at her, teeth bared. With her last ounce of strength, she shoved his head into the water, drowning him, then pushed him away and let the current take him. She clambered up the steep embankment on the other side and felt hooves slam into the muddy earth near her face. She looked over her shoulder and expected to see a white face twisted in fury. Instead she saw the calm, handsome face of a Negro boy no more than sixteen, a gorgeous, beautiful chocolate face of calm and resolve. --Who are you? she asked, stunned. The beautiful Negro boy smiled, showing a row of sparkling white teeth. --I'm Little George, he said. He raised the barrel of his rifle high, and then lowered it towards her face. Merciful blackness followed.

It's a story about an escaped female slave and the slave catcher bent on catching her. On a deeper level, it's about the web of relationships that existed during slavery. How closely are the events in Song Yet Sung based on actual history? The two main women characters Liz Spocott and Patty Cannon, are based on real figures who hail from the eastern shore of Maryland, albeit at different times. Harriet Tubman, the great abolitionist, who was born in Bucktown, MD, and for many years prior to the civil war, she moved up and down Dorchester County like a ghost, leading, at least by some accounts, as many as 300 African Americans to freedom. Historians have yet to agree out how Tubman moved so many people without being caught. She suffered from narcolepsy as a result of having been struck in the head as a child, and she dreamed frequently. She said her dreams often warned her of impending danger. Patty Cannon, of nearby Caroline County, bordering Delaware, was one of the most celebrated women criminals in the history of Maryland and southern Delaware. She and her gang, which was said to number as many as 30 men at times, kidnapped African Americans, slave or free, and sold them south. Cannon was described as an attractive, handsome woman, physically strong, charming, gypsy-like in appearance, and dangerous to be around when any money was to be made. Cannon died in 1829 in prison. She committed suicide. Tubman was born in 1820 and lived till 1913. Both were well known to blacks and whites at the height of their prowess, and feared for different reasons. How did you research this book? The usual torture. First off, slave narratives are not hard to find, though they can make for difficult reading, emotionally. Secondly, I drowned myself in the culture and history of Dorchester County and the eastern shore. I spent a lot of time in Cambridge, MD, in its library, and on its back roads, traveling the roads and trails that Ms. Tubman supposedly used to lead her charges to freedom. Apparently much of Ms. Tubman's underground railroad was via the water, with the help of watermen, black and some white as well, who ferried her charges along the many creeks and rivers that line the eastern shore. This posed a challenge for yours truly as I'm afraid of deep water. I nearly drowned in Europe while researching Miracle At St. Anna. So I wrote this entire book without having once gone out on the Chesapeake. I'm terrified of open water. Your main character in Song Yet Sung is a young woman, and there are other strong female characters as well, including the slave catcher who is perhaps the most evil figure in the book. The main characters in your previous novel, Miracle at St. Anna, were men, but your mother was the dominant personality in your bestselling memoir, The Color of Water. Was any of this the result of conscious choice, or did it just arise organically from the story at hand? I just went with the story at hand. I'm not afraid of strong women characters. I was raised by one. I confess, however, that getting into the head of a female character to check her thought processes is little different than taking a male character's pulse. Women characters tend to be deep, and very hip to the emotional complexities that are the pitfalls which most male characters either bumble past drunkenly, or stumble into face first. How much is your ability to write strong female characters rooted in your relationship to your mother or other women? Probably a good amount. The only thing worse than discovering there's no Santa Claus is finding out that Mister Santa ain't a Mister after all. Having a strong mother allows you to see the kind of deep muscle feminine characters have to work with. What was "the Code" that Liz learns? How was it actually used? I'd heard of Black Codes of the underground for years. When I studied African American music under a professor named Wendell Logan in the Oberlin Conservatory, I learned that the songs I sang in church as a child were full lyric references to freedom, like Wade In The Water, Steal Away, Come Here Jesus If You Please. It's just the tip of the iceberg. The entire plethora of black culture, musically at least, is bent towards freedom. There is no doubt in my mind about that. Most historians look for concrete, empirical evidence of The Code, economics, letters, broken plates, etc. How can you quantify a people's desire to be free? It's like describing John Lennon's song "Imagine" as a "Verse, chorus, verse, 16-bar musical statement in the key of G that expresses a young man's hope for the future." Right. Black people have always wanted to be free. Any insect, even God's tiniest creature, always moves to protect itself. That's what music, and to some extent, The Code, did for African American slaves. Denwood Long, the white slave catcher who comes out of retirement to pursue Liz, is in many ways a sympathetic character. He even identifies powerfully with the slaves. How is this possible? He identifies with them the way a cop identifies with the people on his beat. They are an economic means that has provided for him, and also a group he has come to admire and respect, the same way a beef provider admires cows or a worker at an animal shelter that euthanizes dogs loves dogs. I don't think that's necessarily bad. This is the world we live in. If you become too judgmental, you can't be a writer. You become simply a proponent of an idea. Long was poor man born into a system that pressed poor whites into a kind of slavery. His eventual identification with slaves is a realization of his understanding of that system and his appreciation for the slave's means of dealing with it. Your story is set in a very particular landscape, Maryland's eastern shore, which is shrouded in myth and superstition. Why there? The eastern shore is like the deep south, yet it's just 80 miles to Philadelphia, which was the promised land during slavery. If a slave from the deep south fleeing north reached the eastern shore, there were scores of free blacks and slaves who operated a kind of loose network of freedom riders: abolitionists: watermen, farmers, ministers, slaves. This area produced two of America's greatest abolitionist, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, who lived during the same era and were raised less than 25 miles apart. It gives you an idea on how focused that area was on abolitionism. The eastern shore is populated in part by the watermen, simple fishermen who take in oysters from the Chesapeake Bay. What was their attitude toward slavery, and what role do they play in the story? Their attitude toward slavery was as complicated as white people's attitudes towards blacks is today. Watermen lived difficult lives. They were poor, tough, independent, and religious. Many were Methodist, which took an early stance against slavery. Yet some fought for the south during the civil war. In an act of resistance, some of the slaves in your story kill one of their captors, a black man who works for a white slave catcher. But they feel like murderers instead of liberators. Why? Killing him robbed them of their humanity. Their humanity was something they cherished, and something most human beings cherish. Also, in the real world, killing is not an easy thing to do, even if you feel it's "justified." Readers may be surprised to learn that the conductors of the underground railroad, or the gospel train, as it's called in your book, were prepared to kill anyone who betrayed the secrets of the Code, including other slaves. This is another instance in which the lines of moral responsibility in your story are not always clear. To what extent are all the characters in the story victims of circumstance, or prisoners of history if you will? At what point does individual responsibility begin? First of all, ambiguity is everything. The female driver who cuts you off in traffic and curses you out as she roars away might be the schoolteacher who saves a kid's life the next day. We are all capable of everything. The outrage that African Americans felt -- and to some extent still feel -- for the Uncle Tom character is something most whites underestimate. Most African Americans feel under such siege, that they're not willing to say anything to whites to jeopardize their already precarious existence – or what they perceive as a precarious existence. But when African Americans talk among themselves, it's a different story. That being said, for someone to betray The Code during slavery must have been unthinkable. Frederick Douglass expressed outrage in his autobiography about slaves who made it to freedom and then wrote best selling books about their method of escape, like Henry "Box" Brown, who wrote about how he'd shipped himself north in a box. Douglass, in his own work swore he would never disclose the exact method by which he obtained his freedom. To my knowledge, he never did. Neither, by and large, did Harriet Tubman. Freedom was EVERYTHING. It makes complete sense that it was worth dying for, or killing for, especially if your children were involved. Your story starts with the lines, "On a grey morning in March 1850, a colored slave named Liz Spocott dreamed of the future. And it was not pleasant." It's evident to us that Liz's disturbing dreams are about the current state of African-American culture, at least certain aspects of it like hip-hop music, the prevalence of violence in some communities, sexual license, materialism, and so on. In fact, Liz's vision of the future "brought her more grief than her condition at the time," you write, and that was when she had been lying badly wounded for three weeks in a slave catcher's attic. "Ain't no freedom" in that kind of future, she says. This is a very strong charge against contemporary black culture. Why do you feel so passionately about this? This is partly how the book got started. A few years ago, I heard a story about the introduction of some new video game, and how customers were stampeding the store, having lined up at 5 in the morning, to get into the store to buy this new game. This happened down south somewhere, it might have been Richmond. When I looked at the picture of the people fighting to get into the store and saw that the majority of them were black, it broke my heart. I said to myself. "Is this why slaves risked their lives and broke for freedom?" Like most sensible people, I've had enough of the beastiality, the women bashing, the homophobia, the violence, all of which lives under the heading of the music and culture known as "hip hop." I don't consider it hip hop. It's recording industry manipulation made to sell CD's, soda pop, beer, cars, cognac and tennis shoes. Most of the true hip hop pioneers have gone underground, or moved on to middle age, like Public Enemy, The Last Poets, Afrika Baambatta, etc. I don't know what the answer is. I am certain however, that part of the answer lies in African Americans doing it themselves, taking responsibility for their own actions, and in their own communities. Fathers taking care of their own kids, mothers laying off going to the clubs and getting a good night's sleep, and dropping aspects of this commercial culture that teaches our kids to be lazy slobs who talk a lot of jive and do nothing. And it should be said a lot of that happens now, and it has always happened. But it feels critical now. I don't know if that's a real feeling or not, because everything feels critical in this so called "terrorism" age. But it's worrisome to me. I want our young people, black and white, to grow up whole. I feel like we're raising a generation of lazy kids who aren't made to feel responsible for their actions, who don't know how to work. Or is it just me? I can't tell anymore. Yet Liz also has a positive and uplifting vision of the future, which will also be recognizable to contemporary readers. Which vision will win out? America has always had an uncanny ability to recover and move to the good. If we got over the civil war, we'll get over our current malaise. It always seems like the end of the world, every day, but to God, it's just another morning and time to get out of bed and gather souls for their final ride to glory. Once again you are exploring the themes of race and identity and transforming love, as you've done in your first two books, even though they were very different from one another. Does it surprise you as you move along with your writing career how strongly these themes grip you? It's better than writing the same book over and over again. I don't want to be depressed when I read a book. I create books that have a piece of me in them, and with that comes the element of race and class that other writers choose to ignore. For me, identity is everything. It powers everything in the world: I am a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, an American, an Arab… what do these words mean? The main characters in your new book seem to be seeking love as well as freedom. Is love as or more important than freedom? Love is freedom. If you can love someone, then you have a chance to be free. Love is liberation. That's why slave owners always wanted their slaves to marry. A better chance to keep them at home. Were you at all intimidated by the fact that other distinguished fiction writers have taken on the subject of slavery, starting with Toni Morrison? Obviously I deeply admire Toni Morrison. In fact The Bluest Eye changed my life in many ways. But as a musician, you learn to play your song. Just play your instrument. There are always going to be other cats who can play better than you. To change this world, we need a Big Band of Toni Morrison's, a Duke Ellington-sized band of Toni Morrisons. I'd be happy to be the guy who carts their instruments into the room. Spike Lee has recently optioned the film rights of your first novel, Miracle at St. Anna, which is about the friendship between a black American soldier and an orphaned Italian boy in Italy during World War II. How closely will you be involved in the making of the film? I wrote the script for it. I worked with Spike closely for about a year. I did a tremendous amount of rewriting on that script. Spike is brilliant. Demanding. He works harder than anyone I've ever worked with. I used to brag to friends that "no one can work harder than me," but I have to concede that Spike's got me beat there. That's one reason why he's so successful, I suppose, his talent notwithstanding. They guy goes at it hard. What is the "song yet sung" referred to in the title of your novel? Simple: It's the second verse to the Negro spiritual Free At Last. Don't give that away or you'll spoil it for the reader. Was the musical reference in any way an acknowledgment of your dual professional life as a writer and a musician? Not really. Music and writing are so different, it's not funny. It always amuses me when I hear writers saying "I have a melody in my head, and somehow it arrives on the page…" C'mon! When Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked) has a melody in his head, I buy it. When Wynton Marsalis, or Terence Blanchard, have melodies in their head, they know the difference between a melody and a group of assembled notes. Music and writing basically make slaves of those of us who are stupid enough to try to make them our mistresses. You can love one or the other, but you can't make love to both at the same time. Are you working on a new book yet? Just started a new novel. I'm researching it now, but I'm afraid to say what it's about. I don't want to jinx it. But it's not a historical novel. What do you hope readers take away from Song Yet Sung? Things are not what they seem. We are all human. We are all raised to follow a certain set of rules and mores, and in order to live a full life, we have to challenge those rules and mores from time to time or our lives will not be full, our children will be complacent, and we will not be doing God's work. |

Closed captioning allows persons with hearing disabilities to have access to television programming by displaying the audio portion of a television program as text on the television screen. Beginning in July 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) required all analog television receivers with screens 13 inches or larger sold or manufactured in the United States to contain built-in decoder circuitry to display closed captioning. As of July 1, 2002, the FCC also required that digital television (DTV) receivers include closed captioning display capability.
In 1996, Congress required video programming distributors (VPDs) (cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors and other multi-channel video programming distributors) to close caption their television programs. In 1997, the FCC set a transition schedule requiring distributors to provide an increasing amount of captioned programming, as summarized below.
Benefits of Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a critical link to news, entertainment and information for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. For individuals whose native language is not English, English language captions improve comprehension and fluency. Captions also help improve literacy skills. You can turn on closed captions through your remote control or on-screen menu. The FCC does not regulate captioning of home videos, DVDs or video games.
English Language Programming
Different closed captioning schedules apply to English language and Spanish language programming.
As of January 1, 2006, all "new" English language programming, defined as analog programming first published or exhibited on or after January 1, 1998, and digital programming first aired on or after July 1, 2002, must be captioned, with some exceptions.
As of January 1, 2008, 75 percent of "pre-rule" English language programming, defined as analog programming first shown before January 1, 1998, and digital programming first shown before July 1, 2002, must be captioned, with some exceptions.
Spanish Language Programming
Because captioning is newer to Spanish language program providers, the FCC allowed them a longer time to provide captioned programming.
- As of January 1, 2010, all "new" Spanish language must be captioned, with some exceptions.
- As of January 1, 2012, 75 percent of "pre-rule" Spanish language programming must be captioned, with some exceptions.
Exempt Programming
There are two categories of exemptions from the closed captioning rules.
Self-Implementing Exemptions
Self-implementing exemptions operate automatically and programmers do not need to petition the FCC. Examples include public service announcements that are shorter than 10 minutes and are not paid for with federal dollars, programming shown in the early morning hours (from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. local time), and programming that is primarily textual in nature. There is also an exemption for non-news programming with no repeat value that is locally produced by the video programming distributor (VPD). Visit the FCC's website to see a complete list of self-implementing exemptions.
Economically Burdensome Exemption from Closed Captioning Requirements
The FCC has established procedures for petitioning for an exemption from the closed captioning rules when compliance would be economically burdensome. Visit the FCC's website to find out about the economically burdensome exemption.
A petition must include facts demonstrating that implementing closed captioning would be economically burdensome, which is defined as a significant difficulty or expense. There is no form to fill out. Electronic filing and faxes will not be accepted. A summary of the petition process is provided at the FCC website address above. While a petition is pending, the programming that is the subject of the petition is exempt from the closed captioning requirements.
Subtitles in Lieu of Captioning
The rules provide that open captioning or subtitles in the language of the target audience may be used in lieu of closed captioning.
What to Do if You Experience Closed Captioning Problems While Watching a Television Program
If you suddenly experience closed captioning problems while watching a program on television (e.g., the captions suddenly disappear or become garbled) you may contact your VPD (i.e., your cable or satellite TV service, or the TV station if you do not pay for cable, satellite or another subscription video service) to report the problem at the time that the problem occurs and see if you can get the problem fixed.
You can find your VPD's contact information in the following ways:
- If you subscribe to a pay service (e.g., cable or satellite), the VPD's contact information should be in your bill;
- If you have over-the-air broadcast only TV, the contact information for the TV station should be in the phone directory;
- All VPDs with websites must post their contact information there;
- Search the FCC's VPD Registry.
Finding Your VPD's Contact Information in the VPD Registry
VPDs must provide the FCC with contact information for the receipt and handling of immediate closed captioning concerns by consumers (e.g., the captions suddenly disappear or become garbled), and contact information for written closed captioning complaints. This information is in the FCC's VPD Registry located at esupport.fcc.gov/vpd-search/search.action. This link to the VPD Registry is also available on the FCC's closed captioning website.
You need to provide only two pieces of information to find your VPD: your zip code and the type of VPD or video provider that you use. In the VPD Registry, the "type of provider" is asking for how you receive your television programming. This could be "broadcast" for over-the-air users (for example, using "rabbit ears" or a rooftop antenna), "cable," "satellite," "local telephone company" or "other." If you do not know the type of program provider you use, select "All Types" and then click on "Submit." A list of the VPDs that provide service in your zip code will appear and you can select from that list. Once your VPD's name is shown, click on "view details" for that VPD's contact information.
If you do not see the VPD you were looking for, please confirm that you entered the correct zip code. If the VPD you are looking for is still not appearing, please contact the FCC's Consumer Call Center for assistance: 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322); TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322).
Filing a Complaint
For captioning problems during non-emergency programming, you may file a written complaint with either the FCC or your VPD. If you file your complaint with the FCC, the FCC will forward the complaint to your VPD.
The FCC rules establish specific time limits for filing closed captioning complaints. Your written complaint must be filed within 60 days of the captioning problem. After receiving a complaint, either directly from you or from the FCC, the VPD will have 30 days to respond to the complaint. If you filed your complaint with your VPD and they do not respond within 30 days, or if a dispute remains, you can send your complaint to the FCC.
You can file your written complaint by using the online complaint form. You can also file your complaint with the FCC's Consumer Center by faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554
What to Include in Your Complaint
The best way to provide all the information the FCC needs to process your complaint is to thoroughly complete the online complaint form. When you open the online complaint form, you will be asked a series of questions that will take you to the particular section of the form you need to complete. If you do not use the online complaint form, your complaint should include the following information:
- Your name, street, city, county, state and zip code and other contact information such as a videophone or TTY number or email address;
- The television channel number, call sign and network;
- The name of the subscription service, if you pay to receive television;
- The location of the TV station or subscription service;
- The date and time when you experienced the captioning problem;
- The name of the program or show with the captioning problem;
- A detailed description of the captioning problem, including specifics about the frequency and type of problem (e.g., garbling, captions cut off at certain times or on certain days, captions missing only with HD programming); and
- Any additional information that may assist in processing your complaint, such as a description of your television receiver set up, including the make and model of your television or computer, if you are using a computer to receive television signals, any recording devices attached to the receiver, and the kinds of cables used to attach the components.
Resolution of Your Complaint May Be Delayed if the Information Above Is Incomplete
You can also provide the FCC with any additional information you think appropriate (e.g., video copies of the TV schedule showing the CC logo for the program you saw without closed captioning, written-out examples of garbled captions, video recordings you made of the captioning problem, etc.).

Parkway Drive
Killing With A Smile
So far, 2006 has been a pretty good year for metalcore despite the metal masses' general disdain for the genre; The Acacia Strain, Maroon, Bloodshoteye, Ligeia, Shallow Water Grave, The Hope of Change, Serapis, On Paths of Torment, Dead to Fall - all delivering solid if unoriginal attempts at death metal tinged metalcore, and now comes Australia's Parkway Drive with their debut effort and it compares favorably to The Hope Of Change's Hourglass, which means it does everything right, and is certainly more enjoyable than label and country mates Ikilledthepromqueen.
As with Hourglass, what makes Killing With a Smile standout is the songwriting. Though filled with Killswitch Engage like vocal duality and European harmonies, breakdowns, token death growls and lyrical cliches, Parkway Drive just write good instances of all the aforementioned attributes. Starting with the galloping, noodling "Gimme a D", through tracks like standout "Pandora" (the guitar work at 1:18 and subsequent melodic breakdown is one of the better metalcore moments of the year along with Ligeia's "The Blackout"), the lumbering "Romance is Dead", the blistering "Picture Perfect Pathetic", and the sumptuous "A Cold Day in Hell".
There's a few cookie cutter moments of well done 'blah' (acoustics of "It's Hard to Speak Without a Tongue", the predictable structures of "Anasasis (Xenophantis" and "Mutiny"), but given the mediocrity of a lot of metalcore are still acceptable.
Topped of by an expected clean polished production, Killing With a Smile is most certainly recommended for those of you that still see metalcore as a viable genre or marketing ploy. Either way this is a pretty solid record that shows the Aussies can spin kick with the best of 'em.

Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden BraidDouglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps' or links between formal systems. However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Gödel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more. |

The season is finally here!
I got out after work Friday and did not see anything. The start of a new season.
I got out this morning. I had a small doe mave through around 8 am. Unfortuantely,I was sitting and reading my book by then. By the time I got my bow and stood up the doe was stopped behind a stand of small trees. She just needed to go another 5 yards until she was in another shooting lane, but no luck. She turned 90 degrees and headed directly away from me into a thicket and disappered. Tried following up with a few fawn bleats, but no dice.
Taking a break to get some chores done, but will be back out for the evening hunt.

Efficacy of a remote based computerised visual acuity measurement
- Department of Optometry, Manipal College of Allied Health Science, Manipal University, Karnataka, India
- Correspondence to S Ve Ramesh, Department of Optometry, Manipal College of Allied Health Science, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka 576104, India; ramesh.sve{at}manipal.edu
Contributors All authors contributed to the conceptualisation, design, conduct of the study and data collection. Statistical analysis, writing the paper and critical review were performed by KS and SVeR. All authors reviewed and accepted the final submitted or publishable draft of the manuscript.

Aim To determine the efficacy of a remotely operated computer-based logarithmic (logMAR) visual acuity chart.
Methods Visual acuity was tested using a laptop or computer-based logMAR chart (COMPlog) for all subjects by two different methods. The methods differed by the physical presence and absence (remote) of an optometrist and in the mode of instructions provided. Remote access was obtained through the internet, using Teamviewer software to control the system linked to COMPlog and instructions were provided by telephone. The order of measurements and the eye to be tested was randomised. logMAR visual acuity and time taken were recorded. A questionnaire was used to assess the participant's feedback.
Results Intraclass correlation for visual acuity between the two methods (α=0.964, 95% CI 0.937 to 0.979). There was no statistically significant difference (p=0.648) in the median visual acuity measurement between the two methods (median difference 0.00, IQR 0.20 logMAR). The time taken between the two methods was not statistically significant (p=0.457). There was no significant difference in the responses to the questionnaire between the study methods (p=0.119).
Conclusions Tele (remotely controlled) visual acuity measurement is as reliable as that measured with the physical presence of an optometrist.

Click to visit my advertising portfolio.
My personal literature blog is called Qualquer Coisa de Triste, which roughly translates as Somewhat Sad.
.:the worst kind of thief:. is my blog about technology, advertising and discussing great ideas.
O que Tarrask já viu is a blog I created just to save everything I find interesting online. Internet is too big, and we need some tool to keep track of everything, even without a filter.
ffffuuuud.eu is a wordpress collaborative experiment to bookmark and share internet memes.
Click the arrows to discover the sites and other places you can find me online
Tarrask, bio and story of the nickname
Since 2002, I've been working in advertising as a copywriter. The dude that mix the words together, but not only that. Some of my work and my curriculum can be found on my online portfolio.
Two books, and couting.
I self-published two books already: Elas and Inverdades, and both of them are in Portuguese and available for sale in Amazon.
Imagining new things and telling them.
Since I was a kid, I always loved reading and creating stories. When I was a teenager, I discovered Role Playing Games and learned how to create worlds, plots, characters and structure to weave new tales. That's where the nickname Tarrask came from.
One language to rule them all.
I started writing in Portuguese, but learned English and Spanish and sometimes use all of them to express what I want. I'm more interested in the what than in the how you say something.
My first computer ran DOS, I've installed Windows 95 using diskettes and connected to mIRC as a teenager. Tarrask was my nickname, and I never thought it should become a professional alias.
Ok, ok, but which social networks I use nowadays?
Twitter. Facebook. LinkedIn. Several blogs. Google Reader, via sharing and commenting. Foursquare. Pinterest. Ffffuuuud.eu, my crazy meme-bookmarking wordpress experience. I also try any other services when I have free time.
When I was a teenager, I got an old Canon EOS Rebel from my mom. After some years, classes at the University and some point-and-shoot digital cameras, I put my hands on a Canon EOS 400D in 2007, and in 2011, I upgraded to a 60D. But I keep taking photos with an iPhone, a Lomo Diana Mini or even a webcam, if it's all I have at hand.
Look at the pictures, not at the photographer
I save my pictures in Flickr, and my favorite sets are also stored in my portfolio.
From English to Spanish to Portuguese, and the other way. My specialty is the transcreation of ad campaigns, but I also did freelance technical translation and scientific papers, too.
Sometimes a good copy gets lost in translation. Sometimes, not. A good transcreator needs to to know that and propose alternatives, that could convey the same message, without losing the marketing objectives from sight.
Local globalization
We don't need to be near our customers anymore. The tubes allow companies to sell all over the world. But we always need to speak the customers' languages. And no other.
None of this is really happening.— Douglas Adams
Inverdades is my second book, released the 29th of February, 2012. It's available in ebook version, in Portuguese, at Amazon. Contains 17 short stories, and a bunch of funny lies.
My personal stupid meme bookmark. If you want to create an user there, just get in touch.
To make a long story short, this is my first book coming out of the box.
A small selection of my favorite personal photos. You can see them all in Flickr or in my photo portfolio.
You'll never know when you'll meet a new friend

The course has honed the talents of several Scottish players through the years, such as Walker Cup captain and player George McGregor. It might be short, but it lacks nothing in spirit. With only one par three less than 200 yards, consistent long iron players will fare best. The par three fifth at 237-yards, which includes a 200-yard carry over a burn, is the most striking hole on the course.

Best Buy, Target and Walmart are offering steep discounts on electronics like iPads and LCD HDTVs.
If the possibility of scoring a deal isn't enough of a draw, for many people it's a tradition they are not willing to give up, says Trae Bodge, senior editor of RetailMeNot.com Insider. She said that for some people there's something compelling about waiting in long lines after Thanksgiving.
"Despite the rise of online shopping and the economy, there is still a strong interest to do that whole Black Friday thing," she said. "There's a weird tradition that goes on."
