China's Olympic-sized Algae Cleanup
For once, the Olympic spotlight on China is making it look too green -- from an algal bloom that The New York Times reports is threatening the upcoming sailing regatta near the city of Qingdao. Thousands of people are helping to clean up a bloom that would be impossible to sail through.
The article continues, "State media reported that 100,000 tons of the algae had already been taken out of the water. Much of it was being transported to farms as feed for pigs and other animals, according to news reports."
Wow. And while "rivers and tributaries emptying into coastal waters are often contaminated with high levels of nitrates from agricultural and industrial runoff," officials are denying a "substantial link" between the bloom and poor water quality.

'Hamelin plays it [Dukas] fabulously, surmounting its various challenges with ease, achieving just the right note of tender intimacy—in contrast to the rest of the work—in the slow movement. He is tremendously exciting in the Scherzo, but above all he expounds the vast architecture and drama of the finale as few have managed to … Altogether this is a marvellous issue, and yet another distinguished addition to Hamelin's swift-growing discography' (International Record Review)
'Symphonic in scope, Dukas's four long movements present pianists with an unusual challenge. The music doesn't show off technique, but it's nonetheless fiendish to play, and unless delivered by a thinking virtuoso it sounds rather unspectacular. A clear case of 'send for Hamelin' … This is edgy stuff, played with tenderness and flamboyance, atmospherically recorded' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Dukas's monumental sonata is one of the under-appreciated masterpieces of the French piano repertoire, and it is also a perfect showcase for Hamelin's extraordinary keyboard talents' (The Guardian)
'Hamelin, one hardly needs to say, makes light of any difficulty, clarifying complex textures and subtly highlighting different voices with myriad keyboard colours … This performance has expressive power and intense emotional involvement that make it one of his most successful recordings—and that is saying something' (Gramophone)
'easily the best recorded performance of Dukas's massive sonata…In Hamelin's hands, the Dukas sonata is given a clarity of expression and an overall sweep lacking in the other recordings. His tonal palate being much wider than his colleagues, he is able to engage us more emotionally in a work better known for its intellectual properties. He also underplays passages that are pushed relentlessly in less understanding hands…Hamelin gives us added respect for the composer's imagination…Roger Nichols has supplied probing notes and Hyperion excellent sound' (American Record Guide)
'[Hamelin] balances the intial seething turbulence with quiet introspection. A breathtakingly lovely second movement precedes technical fireworks and reflective, harmonically colorful phrases in the third before Mr Hamelin propels the majestic finale to a virtuosic conclusion' (The New York Times)
'Hamelin brings his characteristic virtues to both works. There's his ability to maintain momentum without sacrificing detail…and his variety of colour evoked in each hand… In short, this one's a must' (Fanfare, USA)
'Avec la prodigieuse faculté que possède Hamelin de clarifier les textures, de mettre en relief quelques aticulations décisives du discours, de différencier les voix en jouant de l'extraordinaire diversité de timbres de son toucher, cette redoutable sonate acquiert une simplicité biblique la mettant au niveau d'un nouveau-né… La maîtrise est totale, olympienne, presque surnaturelle tant la vélocité vertigineuse se soumet aux exigences de l'expression' (Classica-Répertoire, France)
'Hamelin n'a pas son égal pour clarifier les plans sonores et en dégager la clarté et la beauté… Ce formidable pianiste qu'est Marc-André Hamelin se livre ici à une démonstration de ses talents: mise en place des plans sonores, compréhension de l'architecture musicale, puissance expressive et maîtrise technique parfaite' (Crescendo, Belgium)
'This has to be one of my 'Records of the Year 2006'. Hamelin is known for his explorations of the piano repertoire, but this borders on genius…Simply stunning' (MusicWeb International)
'Cette version remarquable de Marc-André Hamelin…enrichira ta discothèque et ta culture' (ResMusica.com)
'Hamelin is a cult figure to pianophiles, his phenomenal technique matched by an intellectual musicality that's second to none. Dukas's gargantuan Sonata, light years away from The Sorcerer's Apprentice, could seem a white elephant, but Hamelin's magic touch transforms it into a masterpiece. And the weird world of Decaux is a relevation' (BBC Music Magazine)
'This musician has made a career of seeking out the forgotten gems of the pianistic past. His brilliant performance of Dukas's mammoth and technically daunting Piano Sonata was one of the more enjoyable discoveries of 2006' (Boston Globe Best of 2006)
'Hamelin joue le jeu de la vivacité à fond et n'y a aucun rival. Son 4e mouvement est lui aussi fort impressionnant, et, en tous cas très lisztien … Un disque utile, passionnant et référentiel' (ClassicsToday.com, France)
Calme, un peu lent, très soutenu [11'41]
Vivement, avec légèreté [9'16]
Très lent – Animé [13'49]
Minuit passe [4'30]
La ruelle [4'02]
Le cimetière [6'00]
La mer [5'01]
Dukas' epic and dauntingly virtuosic sonata is one of the composer's most important works and, in its demands, eminently suited to Marc-André Hamelin's talents. When Dukas composed his piano sonata at the turn of the century he was consciously adopting a form that invited inevitable comparison with Beethoven, one conspicuously avoided by other French composers of the period. Dukas embraced the challenge, and his sonata is one of the most significant French Romantic piano works, performed relatively infrequently only because of its size and difficulty. It has been a part of Marc-André Hamelin's concert repertoire for many years, and we are delighted that he has finally committed it to disc.
Also on this CD are four almost completely unknown pieces by Abel Decaux which inhabit their own unique sound world between Scriabin and Debussy, although they explore an extraordinary tonal language that looks ahead to Schoenberg. Decaux is known to have composed nothing other than these four pieces (apart from a sketch for an unfinished fifth piece), written between 1900 and 1907. In the words of Roger Nichols, who supplies a fascinating booklet note, they "seem to come from nowhere; and, indeed, for quite some time, to lead nowhere". Marc-André Hamelin's compelling advocacy once again convinces us that not all little-known music deserves its obscurity.

French music for the piano in the years 1870 to 1914, between the FrancoPrussian and First World Wars, has been so strongly marked in the popular imagination by the so-called Impressionist writing of Debussy and Ravel, and before them of Chabrier, that it is easy to forget that this is by no means the whole picture.
For one thing, there was also Fauré who, starting often from Chopinesque premises, developed a style that was not in the slightest degree Impressionist, as his titles (Nocturne, Barcarolle, Impromptu) make clear. Then, from an earlier generation, there was César Franck, who took his time assimilating Wagners harmonic and constructive methods before producing his twin masterpieces, the Prélude, choral et fugue and the Prélude, aria et final, in 1884 and 18867 respectively. While it would be unfair to both composers to suggest that they were wholly unconcerned with texture, there can be no doubt that both of them thought primarily in thematic shapes, in motives to be worked and developed into a satisfying whole.
Those forty-four inter-war years saw unparalleled productivity among French composers, and often at an extremely high level. The impulse, as has generally been recognized, was the foundation of the Société nationale de musique in 1871, designed to promote French music and, implicitly, show the world that in the musical field at least France was not intending to bow to its German neighbours. In this endeavour chamber music featured largely. But there was one medium that composers fought shy of, and we may reasonably ask ourselves why.
Neither Gounod, Massenet, Bizet, Saint-Saëns, Chabrier, Fauré, Chausson, Debussy, Satie, Ravel, Roussel, Honegger nor Poulenc wrote a piano sonata. Franck wrote one, but it remained unpublishednot surprisingly as he was thirteen at the time. Vincent dIndy also wrote one, but not until 1907. So when Dukas completed his own Sonata on 7 September 1900 he had the satisfaction of knowing that he was ploughing a new furrow, one that was to be continued over the next century by Milhaud, Auric, Dutilleux and Boulez.
Paul Dukas was born in Paris in 1865, entered the Conservatoire in 1881 and came second in the Prix de Rome in 1888. His father was a financier and Paul could always rely on private means. But he was also highly self-critical, so that the whole decade of the 1890s during which he was pursuing a composing career saw the appearance of just three works: an overture Polyeucte (1892), the Symphony in C and the symphonic poem Lapprenti sorcier (both 1897). In thinking about why Dukas, who was no sort of pianist, should then turn to writing a piano sonata, we can also address the question of why this medium should be so studiously avoided by other French composers.
Much of the answer can be put into one word: Beethoven. The years round 1900 saw an extraordinary rise in Beethovens reputation in France, amounting almost to deification, in which he was credited in some quarters with possessing those qualities of strength, determination and transcendence over the material world which the French (those quarters said) so plainly lacked. Any new piano sonata was necessarily going to be compared with the best of Beethoven. In Dukass embrace of the piano sonata format there were therefore both moral and competitive elementsas the music itself proclaims unambiguously. In such a conception there can obviously be little or no room for the purely diverting or the sensuously decadent. In depth, height, breadth and any other similar measure you care to adopt, the Dukas Sonata is a serious work.
Each of the four movements develops its ideas at length. The anxious, tormented chromaticism of the opening theme sets the tone of the first movement, in traditional sonata form. The second theme, in bass octaves, is harmonically somewhat more relaxed, although the flow of semiquavers is unimpeded. The development contains some stabbing octaves split between the hands that look ahead to the figuration of the third movement.
The gentler second movement, also in sonata form, at times recalls the central Andante of the Symphony in C. Running in parallel with the sonata structure, the figuration gradually increases in speed throughout the movement, from crotchets to sextuplet semiquavers, before the calm of the final perdendosi.
The third movement is a scherzo in ABA form, but predictably reminiscent of Beethoven rather than of Mendelssohn or Saint-Saëns. Here the pattern of alternating hands already heard in the first movement dominates the outer sections, producing brilliantly virtuosic music, in contrast with the sobriety of much of what we have heard so far. Possibly Ravel had this passage in mind when writing the Toccata of Le tombeau de Couperin in 1917. The central section is built on a much slower chromatic idea treated fugally and marked mystérieusement; Alfred Cortot in his book on French piano music remarks on its maleficent, nightmarish atmosphereproof, if that were needed, that fugal textures do not have to be arid or academic. A brief coda contrasts the two ideas before signing off pianissimo.
In the final movement, again in sonata form, a fantasia-like section leads to the aspirational main theme. Fragments of the works opening idea appear inverted and the tension resolves onto a second theme, one of the most harmonically stable moments in the whole work. While dIndy claimed this theme derived from the plainsong Pange lingua, it is probably closer to the slow second theme of Liszts Sonata. After a lengthy, exciting development, the reprise finally ushers in E flat major for the coda.
The works first performance, by Edouard Risler at the Salle Pleyel on 10 May 1901, was enthusiastically received by both public and critics. But such a wholehearted acceptance of Beethovenian dark-to-light principles could hardly be expected to please everyone in the Paris of those times. Debussy, for one, as a close friend of the composer, found himself in a difficult position when publishing his opinion in La revue blanche. [Music] is for him an inexhaustible store of forms, he wrote, and of possible memories which allow him to shape his ideas according to the world of his imaginationwords that can mean much what anyone wants them to. But if we recall the blistering things Debussy had to say about Gluck, Beethoven and Berlioz, to name only a few, we can reflect comfortably that even a genius like Debussy had his deaf spots.
Perhaps the most interesting comment on the Sonata came from Dukas himself when, in 1915, Guy Ropartz, the director of the Nancy Conservatoire, announced he was choosing the Sonata as a competition piece. Dukas wrote of the analogy between victory over the beast within which I tried to put into music, and the other victory, the great one, the one that comes from every corner of the horizon, helping us trample underfoot the beast without, so real and almost as ugly (shall we say dirty), of which we had no inkling in those days. You may see it as no more than a symbolic correspondence, one for musicians that only they can understand, going back to a time when our distant ancestors gave a moral meaning to their symphonic poems (for solo cithara!), describing the triumph of Apollo over the Pythian serpent! Theres something of that here.
If Dukass Sonata breaks new ground while using traditional methods, then there are elements in Abel Decauxs set of four pieces entitled Clairs de lune that seem to come from nowhere; and indeed, for quite some time, to lead nowhere, at least as far as the French music around them was concerned.
Decauxs biography is soon told, but is none the less surprising for that. Born in Auffay in 1869, the same year as Roussel and seven years after Debussy, he studied the organ with Widor and Guilmant and composition with Massenet at the Paris Conservatoire. For twenty-five years from around the turn of the century he was organist at Sacré-Cur, then in 1923 he went to America and taught the organ at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Out of this routine life came the four extraordinary pieces on this disc (no other works by him are known, other than sketches for a fifth piece of the set, La forêt).
An epigraph from the writer Louis de Lutèce sets the scene, with its white moon gliding silently in space, its motionless ghosts, pale luminescences, mysterious shadows, the carcass of a yowling cat . This is the world of Edgar Allan Poe, whose writings, translated by Baudelaire and Mallarmé, were the (masochistic) bedside reading of many a French artist of the fin-de-siècle, including Gide, Debussy and Ravel: Aloysius Bertrands Gaspard de la nuit belongs to the same company. Even Debussy ultimately found the task of setting The Fall of the House of Usher beyond him, but Decauxs more limited ambition succeeded most remarkably in bringing to life this world beyond what we call reality.
He wrote the pieces between 1900 and 1907, but they were not published until 1913. Whatever the reason for the delay (perhaps no other publisher would take them seriously?), Decauxs teacher Massenet died in 1912 and so was spared what would surely have been a rude shock, not so much at the techniqueas Richard Taruskin has pointed out, everything stems from the two falling bell motives at the outset (major second, major third; minor second, minor third)as at the extraordinary harmonies and the no less extraordinary syntax. Whole tone aggregations (as at the beginning of La ruelle) and consecutive fifths were nothing so out-of-the-way around 1900, but some of Decauxs chords seem to have been taken from a source such as the songs in Schoenbergs Das Buch der hängenden Gärten; the only problem being that these werent written until 1909. Throughout, major and minor triads are scrupulously avoided or else, as in La mer, coloured persistently with a sharpened fourth. Again, this piece was written in December 1903, nearly two years before the premiere of Debussys La mer and six years before his similarly wild Prélude Ce qua vu le vent douest.
Detailed analysis of these strange pieces goes against their grain. Better simply to submit ourselves to what Messiaen, in the title to one of his own piano pieces, was to call les sons impalpables du rêvethe impalpable sounds of the dream.

When you get a free ticket to a festival it's always a joy, when you get invited over to paint a 100ft wall opposite the main stage at that festival how can you refuse. Thanks to Tuborg beer and Mikkel at V1 gallery in Copenhagen we had the opportunity to do just that. Roskilde is an incredibly environmentally aware festival, you can exchange your empty beer cans for money, or even better a go on the massive zip wire they had erected there. We had a lot of fun painting this wall and met some great people and even got to see some good bands. Memorably The Arctic Monkeys and The Walkmen shone out as well as OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). Tyler the Creator from the group performed from a wheel chair, you don't get much more hip-hop than that.
Thanks to Michael Kornmaaler and Jeppe Sogaard Nielsen for the photos and help.

Virgil Jenkins (left), children Genie and Mary Damon, and Pug and Jimmy Akin in Jenkins
Dime Store on Franklin's Main Street.
Her name was Doris, but no one has called her that since the day her parents brought her home in a bassinet.
"Her sister was a year-and-ahalf older, and looked into the crib and said, 'She's pug ugly,'" said Damon Rogers, one of Pug Akin's three children. "They called her 'Puggy,' until she got married, when my father started calling her 'Pug.'"
To this day, Rogers said, Doris Batson Akin's friends from her hometown of Lauren, S.C., call her "Puggy," those from Williamson County know her as "Pug."
"Pug was part of the original 100 who founded the Heritage Foundation," said Mindy Tate, executive director of Franklin Tomorrow. "She was a joy to spend time with. She was one of those people who was active and ready to go until her last minute."
"She was the epitome of a Southern lady, with social graces, good humor and style," said Mary Pearce, executive director of the Heritage Foundation.
According to Pearce, Akin dangled her high-heels in her hand at the wedding of a great-granddaughter and said she needed help putting them on. "Not you," she said, stopping a girlfriend from helping almost before she offered. She dangled her shoes toward the younger men in the room.
"That was her spirit," Pearce said, laughing. "She was just hysterical."
She and Jimmy Akin were married for 53 years until he died in 2000. They had three children, each born within three years of each other.
"My mother used to say that if you hang a pair of pants on the bedpost, she'd get pregnant," said Rogers, the middle child.
Robert O. Akin of Cape San Blas, Fla., is the oldest, and their sister Genie Akin, of Lexington, Ky., is the youngest.
"We lost the original steel magnolia," said Rogers. "She was bright-eyed and bushytailed, even on her last day."

545 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2820735.202247 -80.824835
Mon-Thu 5:30pm-10pm;
Fri-Sat 5:30pm-11pm
Neighborhoods: Eastover
Great atmosphere, food, and service. – This restaurant is beautiful with wonderful food. The service is top notch. The owner is always present to insure everyone is happy. I love all the veal dishes. His pasta of the day is always great. The fruit sorbet is terrific. They make their own lemoncello -- also terrific. A great place. Agree that the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the experience. We are regulars here.
Overall best italian in Charlotte – You walk in and the place is beautiful. You are serve with nice waiters with smiling face. Good variety on the menu and specials. The wine list is great but the price is what was so special they don't take you to the cleaner there like the other places. For dinner, I had a mushrooms soup that was to die for, no dairy, just pure mushrooms, my husband had a carpaccio that was excellent also. Main course I had the salmon with the capers that was perfectly done and my husband had the Osso Bucco, it was quite a challenge, I'm french I make one the provencal way and he never found one so far as good as mine and he taugh it was pretty good. I had to taste it and I have to say that it was very good too. We finished with tiramisu that was sublime with an espresso. The dinner was just wonderful. We will be back with friends very very soon!
Best Italian!!! – I am a usual here and you have a great and friendly staff and the owner is always helpful and is always around trying to see if any guests need anything. Very great customer service, knowledge of wines, and desserts to want almost every night! I brought my wife here for the first time and she was amazed by it, they have moved from the old small location and moved towards uptown charlotte,and the location and ambience of the new place is outstanding! Would recommend this place!!! Great food,wine selection has changed a bit,but still good, and dessert (out of this world)!
Terrific Specials – This a very good restauraunt with very good service from an authentic Italian staff. The menu changes periodically and they always have several specials, especially on the weekends. It is a small room and the atmosphere is not a boisterous or a loud environment. The dover sole, calimari, and penne alla vodka are excellent. Anyone who thinks this restaurant does not do very good Italian does not know good Italian.
Enjoy an intimate Italian meal in the heart of Myers Park. – The Scene
With textured walls painted in warm golden hues, linen tablecloths and subdued lighting, this intimate neighborhood trattoria exudes both warmth and refinement. Service is impeccable, with the knowledge and attentiveness of the seasoned wait staff adding to the impressive dining experience.
The Food
Begin your meal with a nice bottle of red, and perhaps the roasted pepper stuffed with prosciutto, creamy mozzarella and basil. For entrees, the homemade pasta dishes include a rich spinach and ricotta ravioli tossed with butter and fresh sage. Seafood dishes are a real strength; the whole Mediterranean sea bass is light, fresh, and filleted tableside by your server. Top it off with espresso and a homemade dessert like the rich chocolate mousse cake or deliciously light granny smith apple purse, a puff pastry filled with apples and walnuts, served with a vanilla raspberry sauce.
Don't Go!! – This use to be a great restuarant, the food is not the same, service is getting worse and worse and the atmosphere is very timid.

The American Birkebeiner is well known for its difficulty and impressive distance: a course more than 30 miles long that takes hours to complete.
But Birkie weekend hosts other events, including one that celebrates the Nordic roots of cross country skiing: the second annual Nikkerbeiner race on wooden skis.
On the streets of downtown Hayward, it's easy to spot the Nikkerbeiner skiers among the fray. They're the ones wearing woolen knickers, knee socks, and an occasional Vikingish helmet.
A fire near Sayner destroyed two structures and one vehicle Wednesday. The Vilas County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call just before 11 am…reporting a garage fire at 8616 Camp Highland Road in the township of Plum Lake. The blaze fully engulfed the garage and the vehicle inside. The fire also spread to an adjoining mobile home. Both structures were destroyed.
The Vilas County Sheriff's office responded to the fire along with crews from Plum Lake Fire, Saint Germain Fire, Boulder Junction Fire, Westside RIT and Wisconsin Public Service.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Department says a convicted sex offender has been released to the community and they are providing public information on his new residence.
Steven A. Kunze was convicted in 2001 and 2006 of felony sex offenses, including second degree sexual assault and exposing genitals to a child. Kunze was placed on parole in 2013 and was living in Rhinelander. Kunze recently relocated to 3441 County Highway Q in the town of Enterprise, Oneida county.
A town chairman says they will sit down as a board soon and discuss the state's construction options for U.S.51.
Tuesday evening, the Department of Transportation held a public information session on a proposed road upgrade between 3rd Street and state Highway 70 in the towns of Woodruff and Arbor Vitae. The state presented a series of options.. Minocqua had its portion redone this year. Hazelhurst in Oneida county also is in the construction cue.
Woodruff Chairman Michael Timmons says the board will meet soon...
The convicted killer that escaped custody in Oneida County was back in court Tuesday.
54-year-old Todd Brecht walked away from the Camp McNaughton State Prison October 1st, and wasn't located until three days later. Brecht had ridden buses and taxi cabs until he was arrested on a bus in Orlando, Florida.
Brecht appeared for a pre-trial conference with Judge Michael Bloom, where he entered a guilty plea. He will remain in the Oneida county jail awaiting an April 29th sentencing hearing.
Gardeners will be swapping seeds next week in Eagle River. The Seed to Seed Edible Garden Project and Vilas County Master Gardeners are hosting the fourth annual exchange of vegetable and flower seeds.
Debbie Jircik is founder of Seed to Seed. She says seed saving is the process of letting plants flower and go to seed at the end of the season, and saving those seeds for next year's planting.
Jane Trotter is a spokesperson for the League of Women Voters of the Northwoods. The League has launched a new on-line voter tool called VOTE 411 and she describes how it works.
Rhinelander could be the next community banning the use of cell phones while driving.
A committee Tuesday agreed to look into the ban over the next 30 days.
Alderman GeorgeKirby brought the request forward, saying he's concerned about safety...
"....we've(all) seen somebody not driving properly, not paying attention while driving...on the way here I kept track and there (were) 12 people on cellphones between my house and city hall...."
Kids wonder why they can't always get money from their parents. Tuesday, Juniors at Rhinelander high school learned from a simulation why their parents sometimes say no.
Students do paperwork to see if they can budget items like food, child care, living expenses and savings on the money they are given. Jacob Froseth is working part-time now and sees how that isn't enough to get by..
"...a part-time worker you don't get as many hours as you would like to pay for the things you want and need...."
"...What I've been able to accomplish with the tribe really is a history thing for Vilas County…"
"...What I've been able to accomplish with the tribe really is a history thing for Vilas County…"
That's Vilas County District Attorney Al Moustakis, addressing Tuesday's meeting of the Vilas county board of Supervisors about an agreement reached with the Lac du Flambeau tribe to pay for a full time secretary in the DA's office…
" ...For the tribe to stand up and say we're going to take ownership of what is happening in our county and try to reduce what's happening is a really big thing."

Review: X-Mini Rave + Radio Is The Portable Speaker To Beat
By Matthew Lentini | Thursday | 08/12/2011
For a 2.5 watt speaker in a palm-sized capsule under 100 grams, the X-Mini Rave pumps out some impressive sound. It's nothing to write home about, but for a $70 device-attach speaker, it's worth a listen.

Woody Allen Sues American Apparel
Now this little snippet of news has honestly made my day. Who would've guessed it but according to Vogue UK, Woody Allen is suing American Apparel for $10 million. The magazine reports that Allen "does not engage in the commercial endorsement of products or services in the United States," and never gave the affordable and fashion-foward label permission to use an image of him dressed as a rabbi (?!) A possible fashion bust-up? At the beginning of a rather dreary month, I (hate to admit it but) hope so.

Love the idea of putting the conference realignment graphic over the Gast's "American Progress" painting. However, I think in this case, maybe we should remove the schoolbook in Columbia's hand and replace it with dollars and tv ratings spreadsheets. Also, forget the wagons and trains - schools are going to need planes to get to their in-conference games! Finally, I would rename our edited painting as "The Regress of Conference Rivalries."
Cardinals flock to the ACC; more Designated Reads
• Everybody got all that? In the past 24 hours of college football realignment news, we have seen East Carolina and Tulane jump from Conference USA to the Big East, the ACC file a lawsuit against Maryland over money owed given the Terps' move to the Big Ten, Louisville abandon the Big East for the ACC and UConn's president say "I think we really just have to focus on students and then everything will be OK." And in the time it took us to painstakingly piece together the elaborate artist's rendition of the remaining future conference jumps, the Virginian-Pilot is reporting that Conference USA will add Middle Tennessee State. YEEHAW.
• Things that are not realignment news. Our one preseason prediction that held fast all year was that every team would look sort of terrible at least once … Virginia cans its running backs coach … Gene Chizik will be a Mr. December to remember … and here is the only hypothetical realignment move we'd be in favor of at this exasperating point.

Editor's Note: All reviews and information aggregated from Moviefone.
Want to catch a movie this weekend? Here's Patch's roundup of movies playing at the Mann St. Louis Park Cinema 6 and Kerasotes Showplace Icon Theatre at West End.
New this weekend:
Gangster Squad
One sentence plot: Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and--if he has his way--every wire bet placed west of Chicago.
Moviefone viewer score: 90
Moviefone critic score: 43
"The cops play things as dirty as the crooks in Gangster Squad, an impressively pulpy underworld-plunger that embellishes on a 1949 showdown between a dedicated team of LAPD officers and Mob-connected Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) for control of the city." Variety. Full Review.
"Made up of synthetics rather than whole cloth, this lurid concoction superficially gets by thanks to a strong cast and jazzy period detail, but its cartoonish contrivances fail to convince and lack any of the depth, feeling or atmosphere of genre stand-bearers like 'L.A. Confidential.'" The Hollywood Reporter. Full Review.
"Despite the unrelenting action and the terrific cast, Gangster Squad comes up more scattered than successful." Austin Chronicle. Full Review.

- - - - -
Zero Dark Thirty
One sentence plot: The filmmaking duo behind The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal) takes on the hunt for -- and the killing of -- Osama bin Laden in this Annapurna Pictures production that tracks SEAL Team Six, the special-ops team who eventually brought down the terrorist leader.
Moviefone viewer score: 63
Moviefone critic score: 95
"Telling a nearly three-hour story with an ending everyone knows, Bigelow and Boal have managed to craft one of the most intense and intellectually challenging films of the year." The Guardian. Full Review.
"Like the fictional Clarice Starling in 'The Silence of the Lambs,' Maya is a consummate professional who brilliantly performs her job in an often hostile work environment." New York Post. Full Review.
"A monumental achievement that documents a coordinated and complicated response to a monumental tragedy." Philadelphia Enquirer. Full Review.

Other movies in theaters:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
One sentence plot: The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug.
Moviefone viewer score: 72 percent
Moviefone critic score: 58
"Charming, spectacular, technically audacious; in short, everything you expect from a Peter Jackson movie. A feeling of familiarity does take hold in places, but this is an epically entertaining first course." Total Film. Full Review.
"A mesmerizing study in excess, Peter Jackson and company's long-awaited prequel to the Lord of the Rings saga is bursting with surplus characters, wall-to-wall special effects, unapologetically drawn-out story tangents and double the frame rate (48 over 24) of the average movie." Time Out New York. Full Review.
"I'm holding the filmmaker responsible for getting us all back again - to feelings of excitement and delight. Vital as they are, Gollum and Bilbo can only do so much to keep us enchanted. Is Jackson able to sustain the magic in two more installments? I peer into Tolkien's Misty Mountains and embrace the journey." Entertainment Weekly. Full Review.

Django Unchained
One sentence plot: Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave who forms an unlikely partnership with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz.
Moviefone viewer score: 73
Moviefone critic score: 80
"A sharp shock of a film in an Awards season very full of movies so noble they become immobile. It's wildly unlikely to get much love from the Academy, and that's fine-bluntly, it's too good for them. With its bloody stew of history and hysteria, action taken from movies and atrocities taken from fact, Django isn't just a movie only America could make-it's also a movie only America needs to." Boxoffice Magazine. Full Review.
"Exactly what you might expect from the fearless, controversial director of "Pulp Fiction" - it's overlong, raunchy, shocking, grim, exaggerated, self-indulgently over-the-top and so politically incorrect it demands a new definition of the term. It is also bold, original, mesmerizing, stylish and one hell of a piece of entertainment." Rex Reed of New York Observer. Full Review.
"Django Unchained also has the pure, almost meaningless excitement which I found sorely lacking in Tarantino's previous film, Inglourious Basterds, with its misfiring spaghetti-Nazi trope and boring plot. I can only say Django delivers, wholesale, that particular narcotic and delirious pleasure that Tarantino still knows how to confect in the cinema, something to do with the manipulation of surfaces. It's as unwholesome, deplorable and delicious as a forbidden cigarette." Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian. Full Review.

Les Miserables
One sentence plot: Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Miserables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption, in a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
Moviefone viewer score: 81
Moviefone critic score: 63
"Stirring and striking, Hooper's epic musical won't be wanting for awards and plaudits. Danny Cohen's cinematography is stunning and Hathaway's Oscar is guaranteed." Neil Smith of Total Film. Full Review.
"Russell Crowe's pained vocal stylings (they sound more like barks) as relentless Inspector Javert can be forgiven after hearing Hugh Jackman's old-pro fluidity in the central role of Jean Valjean, hiding a criminal past." Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York. Full Review.
"Fortunately, this sprawling epic is well-anchored. There cannot be a better big-screen showman than Jackman." Elizabeth Weitzman of New York Daily News. Full Review.

This is 40
One sentence plot: Five years after writer/director Judd Apatow introduced us to Pete and Debbie in 'Knocked Up', Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as a husband and wife both approaching a milestone meltdown in 'This Is 40', an unfiltered, comedic look inside the life of an American family.
Moviefone viewer score: 53
Moviefone critic score: 58
"This Is 40 isn't always hilarious, but it's ticklishly honest and droll about all the things being a parent can do to a relationship. And why it's still worth it." Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly. Full Review.
"Judd Apatow's instincts have rarely been sharper, wiser or more relatable than in This Is 40, an acutely perceptive, emotionally generous laffer about the joys and frustrations of marriage and middle age." Justin Chang of Variety. Full Review.
"In short, This Is 40, in tried and true Apatowian style, mixes weighty issues about intimacy and cohabitation with astute and smart-alecky pop culture references, crude bathroom jokes, stoner riffs, boob ogling, and existential angst." Steven Rea of Philadelphia Inquirer. Full Review.

Jack Reacher
One sentence plot: The Usual Suspects' Christopher McQuarrie brings Lee Child's Jack Reacher character to the big screen with this Paramount Pictures release starring Tom Cruise as the lone-wolf investigator on the hunt for a murderous sniper.
Moviefone viewer score: 65
Moviefone critic score: 49
"In terms of pure pop entertainment value, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more smartly constructed, beautifully shot, pulse-pounding movie this holiday season." Drew Taylor of The Playlist. Full Review.
"A superior thriller, with Cruise and McQuarrie slotting together like a bullet in a clip. Like Reacher on the firing range, the aim isn't always true – but the misses are fractional." James Mottram of Total Film. Full Review.
"Tom Cruise is in fine form as mysterious tough guy Jack Reacher finally reaches the big screen." Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter. Full Review

Mentor Graphics Integrates the Newly Acquired ADiT Fast-SPICE Technology with ADVance MS
WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 11, 2006 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the complete integration of the newly acquired fast-SPICE simulation technology with Mentor's leading-edge mixed-signal simulation platform, ADVance MS™ (ADMS). Offering much higher simulation throughput than traditional SPICE simulators, the ADiT™ technology removes the performance bottleneck due to slower transistor-level simulation in mixed-signal verification. The combined solution offers reliable, efficient and easy-to-use mixed-signal verification capability for system-on-chip (SoC).
The ADiT fast-SPICE simulation technology was originally developed by EverCAD Software Corp., a Taiwan-based EDA company, which was acquired by Mentor Graphics in January 2006. The technology offers transistor-level simulation capability with accuracy comparable to traditional analog SPICE simulation, but with a capacity of up to millions of transistors, and 10X to 100X faster simulation throughput. Because of its proprietary mixed-signal-aware technologies, ADiT enjoyed the reputation of being the best fast-SPICE simulator for transistor-level mixed-signal applications, especially, for the mixed-signal circuits with non-ideal VDD/VSS power supply voltages.
"We are impressed with the performance we observed from ADiT software in several mixed-signal projects, as using ADiT helped us meet our time-to-market criteria," said Ken Liou, Director of Design Support Division, UMC. "ADiT is now one of our standard sign-off tools for mixed-signal IP that targets our 0.13-micron and below processes."
Mentor Graphics has now successfully integrated the ADiT technology with the ADMS tool, a single-kernel, language-neutral functional verification environment for digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits. This platform supports most of the industry standard design languages, including VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-AMS, SystemC, SystemVerilog, transistor-level Spice, and C languages. Because of its flexible architecture and complete technology support, ADMS can support top-down design and bottom-up verification for both analog-centric and digital-centric mixed-signal design methodologies. ADMS is built upon the high-performance, customer-proven simulation technologies: the Eldo{reg} tool for analog and ModelSim{reg} for digital. With the integration of the ADiT technology, the users of ADMS have the option to simulate the transistor-level portion of their mixed-signal circuits with the highly accurate Eldo analog simulator or high-performance ADiT fast-SPICE simulator. The unique single-kernel simulation technology of ADMS also ensures optimum simulation performance between ModelSim, Eldo and ADiT, therefore, achieving maximum overall mixed-signal simulation efficiency.
"With the successful acquisition of EverCAD and the completion of the ADiT integration, ADMS further solidifies its position as the leader in mixed-signal simulation technologies," said Jue-Hsien Chern, senior vice president and general manager, deep submicron division, Mentor Graphics. "We are committed to continuing to provide our customers with leading-edge technologies and a complete solution in the area of mixed-signal SoC verification."
ADiT fast-SPICE simulator is now available worldwide. The integrated ADMS and ADiT solution will be available for beta testing by the end of July, 2006, and will be in production in October, 2006.
