Al Capone Shines My Shoes (eBook)
Al Capone Shines My Shoes (eBook)
What do you do when your neighbors are a bunch of hit men, con men, and mad dog murderers? Well, if you're Moose Flanagan, you ask the most notorious convict of them all, Al Capone, for help. But when that convict comes through for youÑand then asks you for a favor in returnÑsuddenly it's a whole different ball game. Picking up where the NewberyÐHonor winning Al Capone Does My Shirts left off, this lively second romp featuring Moose, his friends, and some of Alcatraz's "finest" is just as satisfying as the first.
About the Author
Gennifer Choldenko received a B.A. from Brandeis University, graduating cum laude with honors, and a B.F.A. in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. Gennifer's first picture book is titled Moonstruck: The True Story of the Cow Who Jumped Over the Moon. Reviewers called Moonstruck "hilarious" (School Library Journal), "hysterical, irreverent" (National Parenting Center), and "a giggle from beginning to end" (Publishers Weekly). Gennifer was the youngest in a family of four kids, where her nickname was "Snot-Nose." Her quirky sense of humor made its debut at the dinner table when Gennifer was a very little kid. After that, anything strange and funny became known as a Gennifer Joke.
Currently, she lives in the San Francisco Bay area with her husband and their two children. When she is not writing, she likes to draw animals at the zoo, especially crocodiles and turtles because they lie perfectly still. Notes From a Liar and Her Dog is her first novel for children.
Praise for Al Capone Shines My Shoes…
"Heart-stopping+heartrending+heartwarming." -San Francisco Chronicle
"Choldenko seamlessly blends laugh-out-loud humor with high drama in this fast-paced book." -Sacramento Bee
"A tender, engaging book that captures both the imagination and the heart." -San Jose Mercury News

Business Community Provides Free WiFi at Eureka Airport
McKINLEYVILLE, Calif. -- The Arcata/Eureka Airport celebrated a new beginning on Wednesday by offering customers a new type of connection to the outside world. With the help of area technology businesses and the Redwood Technology Consortium...
McKINLEYVILLE, Calif. -- The Arcata/Eureka Airport celebrated a new beginning on Wednesday by offering customers a new type of connection to the outside world.
With the help of area technology businesses and the Redwood Technology Consortium, the airport is now the newest free wireless Internet hot spot. Humboldt County Airports Manager Jacquelyn Hulsey said that she gets customer requests all the time for a Wi-Fi connection and is excited to be able to offer flyers a new service. She said that because of the partnerships formed with C4I Security of Eureka and RTC, the total cost to the airport to set up the system was only $400. The monthly maintenance and customer service component of the Wi-Fi offering will cost around $150. RTC made the donation to pay for the equipment.
"I know this is a well-spent investment," Hulsey said. "Now when bad weather (delays flights) people can sit and work on their computer with this connection to the Internet."
Area teleworker Chris Crawford was thrilled with the addition. Crawford, a member of the RTC and owner of Justice Served, estimates that he does 95 percent of his business outside the area. Crawford is frequently globe trotting from one place to another to do business and finds himself needing to communicate with clients while traveling through terminals. One time when he was in a terminal on his way to Hong Kong, Crawford said he resorted to borrowing a phone jack from an airport janitor so he could hook up a connection to a pay phone to check his e-mail.
"The janitor saved the day and afterwards I tried to hand it back to her and she told me to keep it because, 'It looks like you need it more than I do,'" he said laughing. "Now I take it with me as a fail safe."
Gregg Foster, director of the Redwood Region Economic Development Commission and RTC board member, said he helped host the "virtual ribbon cutting," at the airport on Wednesday.
"It is great that we are pushing the envelope because even though we are small, doesn't mean we don't offer great service," he said. "Adding free wireless access throughout the terminal is yet another step in our effort to expand and modernize the Arcata/Eureka Airport to be a first class regional facility."

Preparing for Severe Weather
Winter Weather Hazards
Anticipate Possible Service Interruptions
High winds, heavy snow and icy conditions can result in downed power lines or vehicle collisions with utility poles that may lead to temporary service outages for some Delmarva Power customers.
Clear Snow From Outdoor Vents
Clear snow away from appliance vents located outside your property to ensure the proper operation of heaters, water heaters, natural gas appliances and gas and electric meters.
Snow accumulation could potentially hamper the proper and safe operation of direct-vent appliances that expel products of combustion (such as carbon monoxide) to the outdoors. Many facilities have high-efficiency heaters and water heaters with exterior vents placed only 12 inches above the ground. All vented appliances require an uninterrupted supply of fresh air and a clear exhaust path in order to work properly and safely. Blowing and drifting snow can block the intake and exhaust vents, forcing appliances to automatically shut down and possibly causing serious damage.
Most appliances have automatic shut-offs that may indicate a problem with the venting system. If you are experiencing problems with direct-vent equipment or appliances, check to be sure exhaust vents are clear.
Use Caution During Snow Removal
Before you begin snow removal, carefully clear any accumulated snow from gas and electric facilities, propane and oil tank storage areas, and other phone, cable or utility facilities. Examples of equipment that should be cleared and marked include: meters, valves, regulators, piping and other facilities above ground that could possibly be hit by mechanized equipment or hand-shoveling. These areas should also be clearly marked to alert snow removal operators of their location.
As an added precaution, any snow surrounding fire hydrants or fire-fighting equipment should also be cleared and identified.


text: Hello all, I'll probably want Flip or other key dance floor reconstructionists to contact me on this, but I basically just wanted to confirm a detail or two, as we the floor staff are planning some much needed maintenance for this year (it is time to buy some new plywood and start making some new floor boards). Basically, I wanted feedback asap on what we need to order, as I am putting in a request to the pennsic supply people this week, so that I don't have to figure out how to move plywood in my honda civic. :) Our intention is to purchase 16 sheets of plywood this year, and to do all the initial treatments required. As for painting designs on them, some of that might happen this year, but most of it will be in the next year or two. Gwommy and I were discussing, and based on how the floor has been holding up since initial construction in 2001, we are thinking that making a purchase like this, and a larger construction effort, should happen every 3 years, and that 16 sheets should be around 1/4th of the size of the floor, so something in the order of a 12 year lifespan. (but this is flexible. We've just realized that especially with the heat, we want to be reasonable in our undertaking, while still planning to get the floor up and running by the middle of the first week). Oh, and by doing this job every few years in batches, it should be more economical on supplies (less paint drying out and such), and easier for production purposes. What I wanted to know is any details about the supplies, and initial treatment of the plywood, so that we get the right stuff (And enough of it). I have been a part of it in the past, however I do not remember all the details. Of course we can buy some supplies when we get to Pennsic, so it isn't critical to get it perfect right now, Except: What is the plywood actually called??? I think it is: "3/4 inch, tongue in groove" but I am not sure if there is anything else about it. Chip board? Not sure. I haven't purchased plywood before. Oh, and does anyone think there would be any financial deals if we bought a different number of sheets? Otherwise, we'll get 16 for now. I think that is most of what I need to know. Other than that, it sounds like we need some sort of Waterproofing? And then Primer, and the base colour, and the border colour. Does anyone have notes on this? I think I mostly have notes regarding putting the floor together. What is the process? How long should it sit after Waterproofing? How many square feet would a quart/gallon cover? Thanks everyone!!!

The Intellicon 3250HW+ is a slightly more sophisticated economizer than the Beckett Heat Manager (which was designed by Intellicon) for about the same money, and is a bit more flexible when dealing with indirect-fired hot water heaters (which is also a good idea for increasing net-efficiency.) But either will do.
But these products don't increase the efficiency so much as the reduce the severe hit you take in efficiency with high-mass boilers that are oversized for the loads. Far more important to both long-term reliability is sizing the boiler correctly to the load. A 150KBTU/hr boiler serving a 4-zone house with a 30KBTU/hr design day load with low-mass fin-tube heat emitters is going to be a short-cycling piece of misery, even with a Beckett or Intellicon. A 50KBTU boiler on the same house would come close to hitting it's AFUE numbers even without the economizer, but would run fewer & longer burn cycles with the economizer control, reducing wear & tear, buying a percent or two reduction in heating fuel if it's cut up into zones, but not too much if it's a single zone.
Most high-mass boilers installed in my area are 3x or more oversized for the actual loads. Using fuel use against weather data with the prior boiler is a more reliable way to size a new boiler than any Manual-J type heat loss calc, since it's an actual measurement, not a best-guess on construction methods & air infiltration rates. Even carefully done Manual-Js hit to the high side, often 25-30% to the high side of measured-reality.
Depending on how big the prior boiler is/was dropping to a right-sized boiler may require a narrower flue liner. In some instances it's cheaper/better to go with a right-sized power-vented 85-88% unit and side-vent it. The lower limit to being able to chimney vent the thing is ~83-84%, above which the risk of condensation in the chimney and back-drafting due to low an exhaust temps becomes an issue, assuming a right-sized flue. If you're replacing a 200kbtu/hr 80% 6-8plate behemoth with a 2-3 plate 50-60K unit you won't be able to use the same chimney (and if you have a hot water heater venting into the same flue you'll have to do something about that too.)

Mathematics - Secondary LicensureFor students interested in teaching at the high school level, we recommend they pursue our B.A. Mathematics degree, and then take the necessary course work from the department of teacher education (including student teaching) to obtain licensure.
Traditional Degree with Licensure
The No Child Left Behind Act provides the individual States with the authority to define the term "highly qualified teacher". The State of Colorado has chosen to define this as 24 semester-hours in a content area (e.g. mathematics). They do not prescribe specific courses in relation to the 24 semester-hour rule.
Additionally, the State of Colorado does not award licensure for middle school separate from high school, but rather for grades K-6 (elementary) and 7-12 (secondary). In mathematics, an argument can be made that someone teaching high school mathematics may need a more comprehensive mathematical background than someone teaching middle school mathematics.
Again, we suggest to individuals who wish to teach high school mathematics that they pursue our B.A. Mathematics degree with the secondary licensure coursework filling out the bulk of their "electives."
Alternative Licensure
We offer an alternate route toward secondary licensure.
This degree track is designed to meet the needs of middle school teachers, would provide adequate preparation for a high school teacher in a rural environment, and exceeds the 24-credit hours of content benchmark set by the State of Colorado for secondary licensure.
This emphasis exceeds the necessary coursework to meet the "highly qualified" requirement as set forth by the State of Colorado.
It does not, however, meet the recommendations of the Mathematical Association of America for someone pursuing a career as a high school teacher (9-12), nor does it meet the requirements for secondary licensure in all states (i.e. a true B.A. in Mathematics).

Pet therapy is recognized at hospitals around the country as a great way to help children cope with the stress and anxiety associated with hospitalization.
Sometimes, the quiet comfort provided by a furry friend can calm nerves and distract a child from medical treatments, and the health benefits may be measured in lowered blood pressure and improved recovery times. At the very least, a visit from a loving dog can make an unfamiliar place feel a little more familiar.
The Buddy Brigade, with a roster of retrievers, poodles, shelties, and shepherds, among others, visits patients at bedside on designated days with their handlers. All of the dogs have been
certified by either Therapy Dog Inc., Therapy Dog International, or the Delta Society and have been thoroughly trained and evaluated to work with children. All go through a rigorous behavioral and physical screening process.
Each patient's health status must be reviewed prior to each pet therapy visit to determine eligibility.
If you think your child would enjoy a visit by a member of the Buddy Brigade, contact your child's bedside nurse or a child life staff member.
The Buddy Brigade is CHKD's special team of "pet therapists," lovable and well-mannered dogs who provide emotional and motivational support – and doggone fun visits – to hospitalized children.
For more information about CHKD's pet therapy program, or to volunteer, call the volunteer department, at 668-7195.

AEP announces first phase of corporate restructuring
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- American Electric Power has announced several leadership changes as part of its corporate restructuring but it is too early to say what impact the changes will have on the company's Appalachian Power Co. subsidiary in West Virginia, a spokeswoman said.
"We are, of course, part of AEP's repositioning effort, and over the last several months have been participating in digging deep into our organization to find ways to be more efficient," said Appalachian Power spokeswoman Jeri Matheney.
"Our goal is to structure the organization as effectively as possible," she said. "We want to do everything we can to minimize our costs, recognizing that customers rely on us to keep costs as low as possible."
Matheney said the first phase of the repositioning study is now complete "and we are moving into the implementation phase.
"We're just beginning this phase of the process, so I can't say exactly what the impact will be in Appalachian Power, but it is important to note that any staffing changes are focused mostly on management and support organizations," she said.
"Throughout the next couple of months, we'll be making staffing decisions, and by the end of January all staff changes will be complete."
AEP and its West Virginia subsidiaries, Appalachian Power Co. and Wheeling Power Co., have 2,551 employees in the state.
American Electric Power is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company provides electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. Its Appalachian Power subsidiary provides electricity to about 500,000 customers in West Virginia and a like number in Virginia.
On Tuesday AEP President and Chief Executive Officer Nick Akins announced that Lana Hillebrand will join the company Dec. 17 as senior vice president and chief administrative officer.
Akins said Tracy Elich, vice president of human resources; Alberto Ruocco, vice president and chief information officer; and Thomas Householder, managing director of labor relations, will report to Hillebrand.
Effective Jan. 1:
* Dennis Welch, currently executive vice president and chief administrative officer, will become executive vice president and chief external officer.
Welch will be responsible for governmental affairs, environmental affairs and services, corporate communications, safety and health, corporate sustainability, strategic policy analysis, corporate security and aviation, and real estate and workplace services.
* Barbara Radous, currently senior vice president of shared services, will become senior vice president of repositioning and the program management office.
* Craig Rhoades, currently vice president of customer services, marketing and distribution services, will become vice president of supply chain and procurement and fleet.

OCZ Vertex 3.20 120GB Solid State Drive Review
It seems as if we can't go a month without reviewing a solid state drive and we are not complaining one bit. OCZ is arguable the leader when it comes to SSD manufacturing. They pretty much cover all segments from the regular to the enthusiast to the enterprise level buyer. I guess you can say they do have it all covered.
Just last month we took a look at one of my favorite OCZ drives of all time. And that would be the Vector. The Vector is fast and I mean very fast and it contains a heavy dose of what OCZ is capable of. The 'Indilinx Infused' controller is the heart of the drive and it just goes on from there.
Today, we will be taking a look at OCZ newest drive to market. Actually isn't quite new, it is a refresh of the original Vertex 3 drive with a couple of upgrades to enhance its performance and reliability. The biggest difference between the two would be the introduction of 20nm NAND from Intel vice the 25nm modules used before.
OCZ's take on the Vertex 3.20
OCZ Vertex 3 Solid State Drives are designed and built to significantly improve your gaming, multimedia, and overall computing experience over traditional mechanical hard drives. In addition to maximized productivity, a Vertex 3 upgrade makes a hard drive-equipped notebook more portable than ever with superior durability and reduced power consumption. Using proven controller and next generation MLC flash memory technology, Vertex 3.20 SSDs deliver the performance and responsiveness your hard drive-ridden Mac or PC has been begging for.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Lacelace, working wardrobe
Lace was abundant on the catwalks for both spring/summer 2012 and pre-fall 2012, with Valentino and Erdem leading the way (it is, after all, their fabric of choice). Make it work for the office by choosing classic, tailored pieces - the blouse, the pencil skirt and the t-shirt.\r\n

No. 12 Saints Explode Early, Topple Trojans 19-5
– The North Georgia baseball team exploded for their largest
offensive output of the season on Tuesday evening, pounding out 18
hits en route to a 19-5 victory over Anderson University in
non-conference action at Bob Stein Stadium.
The Saints are now winners in seven of their last eight games, improving to 23-9 on the year, while the Trojans fall to 12-24 on the season.
North Georgia blew the game wide open in the early going, scoring five first-inning runs, before coming back with two in the second, five more in the fourth, and a seven spot in the fifth inning capped the scoring for the Saints. Anderson tallied two runs in the fourth, a single run in the sixth, and two in the ninth as the Saints picked up the 19-5 victory.
Anders Oster had a career day at the plate for the Saints, going 3-for-5 with a home run, five runs batted, and two runs scored. His three-run blast down the left field line in the fourth inning was part of a five-run frame to give North Georgia a 12-2 advantage.
Chad Sage was 2-for-3 at the dish with a walk, four runs scored, and a run batted in, while Kenny Bellavance stayed on his hot streak with three more hits and three runs scored for the Saints. Troy Snitker scored three times and drove in as many runs, while junior Brad Hall tallied a pair of hits and drove in two runs.
Anderson added a solo run in the sixth on Sawyer's second home run of the season – a shot to left center. The Trojans pushed two runs across in the ninth when Chance Thomas reached on an error and Saxon hammered his team-leading sixth homer of the season over the left field fence.
Jesse Coxwell (1-2) picked up the win in 3.0 innings of work, allowing a pair of hits and no runs, while Matt Adams, Nick White, Alex Simmons, and Justin Yackee all came on in relief to close out the Trojans.
The Saints return to action over the weekend in a key Peach Belt Conference west division showdown against the Cougars of Columbus State University. The two teams are set to play a single game on Friday evening at 5:00 p.m., before a doubleheader on Saturday will start at 1:00 p.m.

Customer Reviews
Happy ending.
At Angel Stadium for Monster Energy Supercross. At the end my wife left her purse at our seating area. We were gone for 30 seconds and when I returned her purse was gone. Wallet, new prescription sunglasses and her iphone were in her purse. She told me about this app and I downloaded it immediately. Got it started, pinged the phone and the app showed the phone was still in parking lot near street exit. Me and my friends ran to the area 300 feet away. No luck. The exit area like a parking lot, lots of cars crawling out but no way to know which car had the phone. After a few minutes we realized if the phone is moving, you must continue to ping it for updated location. We tracked it to a burger joint then to a residence. The home was a fourplex and gps gave us 2 different addresses. Talk to local PD, not much help there. Called the phone several times, no answer. Went home, slept. Next morning pinged the phone again, still at thefts house. I used the message option on this app to write a kind request. Described the burger place, wrote his address in message, asked for just the phone back for med. info stored on phone, put my number on message. The purse with all contents (except cash and iphone case) was returned within 45 minutes. No questions asked, just happy to get everything back. Great app.
Greatest App Ever!!!
So last night my husband and son went to pick up something at a family members house, my son went to knock on the door (at the family's house) my husband got out of his vehicle and stood a few feet away from it to observe. All of a sudden someone came up from behind him and jumped in our vehicle. Shocked, my husband turned around and tried to stop them, but they managed to take off with our vehicle. Both my husband and I have iPhones and the Find My iPhone app, he had left his phone in the vehicle. After calling the police (from someone else's phone) he calls me to come ASAP. When I get to the scene, the police were already there and I gave them my phone with the app open. The person was smart though and turned off the location services on the phone, but thanks to the app and the perks that come with it, we were able to lock the phone and the location services were turned back on. With my phone in hand, the police were able to track the person, find our vehicle and the phone, and arrest the person who took it. The police said it was a smart thing to have the app and that we were very lucky.
I really am so thankful for this app and feel blessed that my family is safe and everything turned out ok. Whoever created this app, thank you so much, you are a genius!
Saved me in a tough situation
Felt so compelled by my experience with this app that I had to write a review. Wasn't sure this app would ever come in handy until the day it saved me (or at least my stuff) and a lot of headache. Was in a bar with friends, getting ready to leave and I realize my coat is missing (along with all my wallet contents, phone, etc.). After a good panic I use my boyfriends phone to track my phone in the find my iphone app. It found that my phone was only three blocks away at another bar. Ran to the car, drove to the bar and found the two people who had walked away with my coat. I was over an hour away from my house, and its a miracle they hadn't left. Confronted them and was able to retrieve my phone, coats and all my belongings. Whether it was an accident or they were surprised that I had caught them stealing, I'll never know. I do know this - when I needed this app the most, it worked and it was a night and day life changer. Can't praise it more. Couldn't believe my luck that I had downloaded this and it was on. Not to mention, my phone had 1% charge left... so lucky. Anyway, get this app, you just never know when it could save you.

I purchased these page protectors for use on our wedding album. I especially liked this configuration because of the 6x8 position which will be perfect for "featuring" a special photo and then the other positions will hold supporting photos. For example, pictures of our cake cutting, the 6x8 picture will be of us actually making the first cut and the supporting pictures will be of us feeding the cake to one another. These page protectors are made of sturdy, durable plastic and would be perfect for albums where the creator wanted to showcase a special photo larger than some of the other photos.
I love the quality of this product.Very sturdy and good thickness of protectors-no need to worry about the safety of precious photos and pages.Non-glare surface also makes it neat to flip through the pages and actually SEE the them.I will order more!!!
I definetely recommend this high quality protectors!
I buy only We R Memory Keepers - Page Protectors -12x12 Three Ring,different formats/pockets sizes, and never had any issues with products-whether it is an album or page protectors.
This product is excellent for anyone who does hundreds of photos in a scrapbook, like I do. I make a really fancy first page and then use these page protectors to do the other pages. It's fast and stylish. What I like about these sheets are that they fit my 12x12 books, other products that I've purchased like this are oversized. These are "just right." I love this product!

The uniqueness of these materials is their focus specifically on issues that people with disabilities face, such as laws relating to disclosure and accommodation requests which are not covered in typical JSS classes.
Goodness of Fit: A Guide to Conducting and Using Functional Vocational Assessments
Wheeler, J., The Rehabilitation Resource, 1996, 41 pages. $13.00 Item Code GOFA
People with disabilities continue to be severely unemployed and underemployed in this country. This fact remains despite years of advocating for their inclusion into the typical workforce. This high unemployment and underemployment rate can be traced, in part, to a lack of expertise in finding jobs that are a good match for these individuals. Employment agencies that have non-disabled workers as their customer base have techniques such as tests and interviews to match customers to employment. These techniques may be only marginally useful if the customer is a person with a disability.
In order to assure a "goodness of fit" between people with disabilities and community employers, a different and broader manner of assessment needs to be undertaken. This method has come to be known as the Functional Assessment process. Functional Assessments can be conducted in several domains (i.e., life spaces) depending on the environments being assessed.
The focus of this book is on helping to ensure a "goodness of fit" between individuals with disabilities and the community businesses that employ them. A step-by-step process for conducting a Functional Vocational Assessment is presented and also a framework for job development and a plan for assuring adequate and effective individualized support.
Tests and Test Use in Vocational Evaluation and Assessment
Siefker, J., The Rehabilitation Resource, 1996, 169 pages. $30.00 Item Code TATU
With hundreds of tests on the market from which to choose for assessing vocational potential, many professionals find it difficult to identify tests which are useful for their purposes. This document describes 71 tests which a sample of vocational evaluation professionals found to be useful in their work.
Part I provides information about testing in the vocational evaluation/assessment environment:
Part II provides information on test resources - ways of getting information about tests, i.e., test publishers, reference works that describe and critique tests, and test data banks.
Part III, the final and largest section, describes 71 tests - aptitude, achievement, interest, intelligence, work behavior and attitude, and dexterity/special use. Each description follows the same format: purpose; subtests; levels of use; administration; scoring; description of norms, validity and reliability; intended populations; skills needed by testees; and the test publisher.
This document is a 1996 revision and update of several earlier publications including Testing and Test Modification in Vocational Evaluation (1986) and Psychological Testing in Vocational Evaluation (1982), both previously published by the Materials Development Center at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Note: Purchasers are recommended to contact test publishers for recent revisions of tests included in this 1996 publication.

Wow, a totally different game to before the power outage.

Hoping for a FSU vs Oregon National Title, really tired of watching the SEC and Bama specifically storm to victory every year. Hoping for a LSU upset.
Regarding the NFL, no idea who is going to make it to the Super Bowl, no team has really been that consistent on both sides of the ball and K.C is really not that good. Will see how Denver's defense is now that Miller has returned. Certainly can't hurt.
Still like S.F and Seattle from the NFC though, and the Saints in with a chance depending on how their Defense holds up.

My carefully charted course of must-see performances from the lineup at the Utah Arts Festival on Friday included sets from regularly gigging acts and rarely booked special appearances. With everything from intimate performances to sprawling lawn concerts, I came to think of the card-size "Entertainment Guide" I received as a clown car. Unfolded, it revealed a slew of performers from around the world and down the street who almost seemed absurd to be contained in one place.
Sounds from the six stages at Library Square mingled and reverberated together, while between shows, troubadour street musicians lent their stylings to small gatherings and passersby.My itinerary became a suggested outline in the face of the surrounding tapestry of artists and festival-goers.
Matteo's blend of acoustic folk from American and Chinese traditions is brimming with inspired originality. They played with a gentle confidence to a small, attentive crowd in the fading dusk light. Angular plucking on a Chinese lute and simple bowed melodies on the erhu frame the more familiar elements of Matteo's sound. Every composition uniquely entwined an intercontinental pallet of instruments, which required that all four members pick up to four different instruments during the 30-minute set. In the two years since they last performed at UAF, they've released two albums, filmed a documentary of their voyage to China and been the center of a great deal of buzz in the local-music sphere. At their concerts, Matteo embodies that hard-working resume, and always captivates the audience.
Between shows, I wandered under a large tree, where Bob Culbertson, tucked almost out of sight near a high-traffic area, was playing the Chapman Stick and attracting an impromptu audience. A beautiful, earthy tone emanated from Culbertson's huge fret board as all 10 of his fingers tapped it masterfully. In the midst of explaining his instrument to a fan, he broke into a flowing romantic, classical piece. After reviewing the classics, his chops went on full display, playing two sticks at once in a new-age composition.
Salt Lake Electric Ensemble closed the night at the Salt Lake City Main Library's sunken amphitheater, The Round. The project is a collective of veteran musicians borrowed from The Rubes, Tolchock Trio, Joshua Payne Orchestra and other underground mainstays. The concrete benches became densely packed while a musing, ambient hum emanated from the extensive arsenal of instruments. Feedback swirls were finally punctuated with the entry of driving drumbeats and rhythmic electric bass. The Can-like groove pulsed hypnotically until the padded textures hijacked the song back into the realm of atonal synchronicity. An interesting relationship between discord and composition continually evolved and broke down throughout the set. After leading listeners through sonic exploration, the seven-piece spectacle faded back into the spirit of its original static noise and artfully signaled the end of a day of extraordinary musical performances.
Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner, I forget to check back on articles I've written sometimes.
I thought the lighting was brilliantly done. The designer was clearly very invoved in tayloring effects that highlighted the special qualities of this venue.
As for the obstruction in the center of the frame–the volleyball net being constructed live by an artist dressed in black and going through rolls of Scotch tape faster than anyone in history, it was interesting. It fit well with the performance's experimental, boundry pushing qualities. But by the same tolken, I can only imagine that people in the center of the ampitheater were pretty disappointed with it. Honestly, I can't help but chuckle at the concept tape art when I remember it. Maybe, like all great art and music it was meant to be provocative.
What is the authors and readers interpretation of the artistic lighting in the background? Please send coments!

Earth Sense in the Balance
Earth Sense in the Balance
Logomasini Op-Ed at National Review Online
September 21, 2005
This week, Bush-administration officials are meeting in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Vienna to discuss a United Nations plan to globalize environmental regulation. Dubbed the "Strategic Approach to Global Management of Chemicals" or SAICM, the program is anything but strategic.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
SAICM would attempt to regulate basically all substances in commerce — manmade and natural — and would attempt to manage all the world's solid and hazardous waste. And in time, it could easily spill into other areas — air and water.
If you read the documents published by SAICM negotiators, you might think you are reading Al Gore's 1992 book, Earth in the Balance, in which he proposed making the environment the "central organizing principle for civilization." In the chapter titled "A Global Marshall Plan," Gore outlines a utopian vision for a "Strategic Environment Initiative" through which world regulators could effectively "discourage and phase out" supposedly "inappropriate technologies and the same time develop and disseminate a new generation of environmentally benign substitutes."
This sounds an awful lot like SAICM's "Global Action Plan." Among 288 "concrete measures" proposed in SAICM's plan are intentions to "restrict availability" of "highly toxic pesticides;" substitute "highly toxic pesticides;" "promote substitution of hazardous chemicals;" "regulate the availability, distribution and use of pesticides;" "halt the sale of and recall products" that pose "unacceptable risks;" "eliminate the use" of certain "hazardous chemicals;" and so on.
Such policies would be pushed by an international chemicals bureaucracy and implemented by "stakeholders" — government, industry, and nongovernmental organizations. Somehow we are supposed to believe that these parties know better than the rest of us — the actors in the world marketplace who must live with the consequences of such decisions.

To answer questions bound to be answered:we've been conducting this interview for 3 weeks,sorry for the delay.
C:How's it going Bigd?
B:Not too much. I am going to the Hawks-Celtics game 3 on Saturday night, and the Penguins are dominating.
C:Really?How you getting there?
B:Driving down with a couple friends.
C:Saweet.Malkin and Crosby are cleaning up aren't they?
B:Well, they are the top two players in the NHL. Even Fluery has picked up his play in net. Now its time for them to spank Jagr and the Rangers.
C:Think They can win it all?Will they be the next Gretzky-Messier?
B:They are the best team, so they should win it. Can't forget Hossa either. He hasn't had a great playoff history, but he is still probably one of the ten best players in hockey. I think Crosby-Malkin is going to be more like what Lemieux-Gretzky could have been had they ever played together.
C:So what thoughts do you have on the Pirates?
B:They look good sometimes, and they look bad sometimes. The pitching is much better than it has shown. Morris never should have been traded for, so he is the one player I really can't stand. Gorzelanny really needs to pick up his play for this Pirates team to have a shot to compete. And they have shown potential this year, winning four in a row and even sweeping the Cincinatti Reds.
C:Had to mention the sweep didn't you?Any prospects that are looking good?
B:A couple. Andrew McCutchen is one of the best minor league players around, and Steve Pearce could be a really good player, too. Both will hopefully be up by the end of the season.
C:What's your world series pick?
B:Gotta go with future Cy Young winner Micah Owings and the D-backs in six over the Red Sox.
C:Micah Owings for Cy Young?
B:Not this season, but at some point in the next five years he will win it.
C:How do you think the steelers did in the draft?
B:I love the first two picks. Mendenhall was probably the second best back in the draft, and they were lucky to get him. That should help the great Willie Parker out by putting less of a strain on him. And Limas Sweed could have gone in the first round, so we were lucky to get him late in the second.
C:The Mendenhall pick I saw surprising.The Bengals did ok,not great.How many of these guys do you think the steelers will sign?
B:I think they will sign all of their top five picks. I see Dennis Dixon coming in with a Randle El type role in the next year or two, and he may become one of the steals of the draft.
C:Dixon to reciever?I still see him as a talent,I don't think he'll be great,my idea for him is like a journeyman back up.Anything you think the steelers didn't fill?
B:I see Dixon playing a Kordell Stewart type role with the Steelers. He can come in when we need someone talented late in the game to bolster our offense even more.
I would have liked to have picked up a lineman earlier. Its a good thing they didn't, because there was no one worthy of a first round pick left, probably not even a second round talent.
C:I'd like to get your opinion on the Ocho Cinco-Bengals situation(be nice)
B:I think they should trade him. Instead of the idea of trading him for draft picks, though, I think they should trade him for a one or two solid defensive players who can come in and improve the defense immediately. Personally, I think that TJ is the best receiver on that team.
C:So what are your predictions for the Steelers this upcoming season?
B:I see another 10-6 year with another AFC North crown, one game ahead of the Bengals. People need to realize that Derek Anderson just isn't any good.
C:I agree people are overrating Derek Anderson.Any breakout players for the Steelers this year?
B:Santonio Holmes. He has already proven that he has a lot of skill, and he should become Big Ben's go to receiver this season.
C:Out of OSU hehe....Got any predictions for the upcoming college football season?
B:This may make me look like a homer, but Penn State could definately run the table next year. They should be at least the third best team, with a good shot at Wisconson, and you never know when they could beat Ohio State. Daryll Clark should be one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten, and the duo of Evan Royster and Stephfon Green could be one of the most electric in the country. And I would say West Virginia over Florida in the national title game.
C:Alright WVU!(I like them)Have a heisman pick?
B:Derrick Williams. And for my non-homer pick I would have to say Pat White. He has been my guess the last two years, and there is no way I will change it now. And as crazy as this sounds, I think Armanti Edwards has a very good shot of at least being a finalist, like Steve McNair was back in his day.
C:Pat White is a heck of a player.And yes,maybe Williams is a bit homer,lol.Any dark horses you see for the nat'l championship?
B:Obviously I think Penn State could have a legitimate shot as long as Clark plays well in the big games. Other than that, I would say Texas Tech. There offense is just going to be way too good to be true. I also think Wisconson could be a dark horse. They get their toughest games at home, and they play a bunch of terrible teams out of conference, so I could definately see them going undefeated.
C:Did you have a mentor when you came to FN?
B:From the day I came to this website, GoatHCW took me under his wing. He was a great guy, and he will always be one of my all time favorite people on this site. I was lucky to have the best tder this site has ever seen as my mentor.
C:What is the biggest issue on FN?
B:I would have to say the problems with cheating. While the mods have made a lot of strides, new members still cheat. A lot. And the mods can't always catch it.
C:What about Homers?They can be hilarious and annoying.What do you think of them?
B:I don't have a problem with the average homerism, but some people just take it way too far.
C:What are the best groups you've been a part of?
B:SIFS is probably the best on FanNation, although I have not been as active recently as I would like to be. Some would expect me to say the Night Owls, but a lot of people who I am good friends with had fallouts with the group.
C:Yeah,haven't gotten quite over the dge yet for SIFS.And Night owls have had their troubles.Who do you enjoy talking to the most?
B:I would say probably Hemo, EF, D-fan aka D-bag, and Anthony E. I have something in common with pretty much all of them.
C:Is there anyone in particular you enjoy tding with?
B:Probably D-fan is my favorite, even though I am 0-2 against him. I also like throwing down with Goodell. I think we have done that five times or so.
C:What do you see in your FN future?
B:I hope to reach at least 200 wins by the time I retire. Considering how much I td, that could take a while.
C:Is there anyone you'd like to thank for your sucess?
B:Again, I would have to thank GoatHCW. He was the guy who helped get me hooked on this site, and I wouldn't be here anymore without him.
C:Who are you pulling for in the upcoming presidential election?
B:John McCain. But I would much rather have Billary in office than Obama.
C:What do you think of the mess of the Pre olympic games?
B:I despise China, but I can't stand people propesting it either. They aren't going to change anything, so they should quit putting themselves at risk.
C:What sports have you played in your life?
B:Like everyone else, I started with soccer. Then in third grade I played football, where I was a fullback and defensive end, and I played baseball, where I played third base. I played baseball three years and I've played football ever since. I got to start at inside linebacker as a sophomore, and I hope to be back from my injury half way through my senior season this year.
C:What Happened?How did you get hurt?
B:Last year during spring practice a lineman rolled over my ankle after I made a tackle. He broke my tibia in two places, and it tore my ACL and MCL. Even though it was over a year ago, it still hurts all the time. I still can't put much pressure on my ankle or run at full speed.
C:Ouch.So Football obviously is your favorite all around sport?
B:Hell ya it was my life for a while.
C:So do you think you'll play at all in college?
B:No, I think I might have had a shot had I not been injured. The injury has taken way too long to recover for me to have any shot.
C:You could walk on.Or maybe it'd be best to take a scholarship offer for school work.
B:I doubt I could ever walk-on at Linebacker U. I'm working on finding scholarship money for school right now. Its going to be 100k for four years out of state at PSU.
C:Cool,things hectic applying for college and all?
B:Well, I don't have to turn in my early admissions for a few months still, so its no big deal. Just trying to enjoy my last summer before I'm a senior.
C:Yeah,so plan on doing anything this summer?
B:I'm heading up north for a couple weeks. Other than that, just hanging out on the lake.
C:On the lake?So like fishing?
B:Sometimes, but I usually don't fish when I'm with friends. We like to tie a couple rafts on the back and go full speed and try to knock eachother off.
C:So what do you plan on majoring in in college?
B: Either some form of pre-medicine so I can become a doctor, or journalism so I can become an intelligent version of Todd McShay.
C:So what's your dream job?
B:The 8:00 PM game on Saturday nights on ABC, and then my own radio show on the weekdays on ESPN Radio.
C:That'd be sweet.Anything else you'd like to cover?
B:I want to start my career by covering the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins.
C:So Pittsburgh sports mostly.Well I obviously hope for some great games between Cincy and Pitt teams,and then arguing with you
B:Well, there haven't really been many this year. My Steelers killed you in both games last year. Plus my Pirates swept the Reds about a month ago. So if blowouts qualify as greatness, there is plenty going around.
C: Yeah reds are 20-23,not that bad.At least they won't finish last in the division for like the upteenth year in a row.Once the Bengals get rid of their distractions then we can talk.
B:Yeah, I guess this will be the first year of many that the Reds finish last. The Pirates are smoking right now.
C:You'd like that wouldn't you?But i guess being a pirates fan you're used to failure the last few years.
B:I couldn't see. The glare off the five Super Bowl rings were blinding me. Which makes, five more rings than the state of Ohio.
C:When was the last time those Pirates won the world series?1979,We are family?Reds?1990?And the Pirates haven't had a winning season since like Bonds left.
B:We got struck by the curse of the Bondbino. Not our faults he is a selfish SOB.
C:Andy Van Slyke,do you think most could tell you who he was?
B:I really doubt it. Its tough being stuck in the outfield with one of the greatest players of all time: Bobby Bonilla.
C:We'll save the talk for later,had a great time how bout you?
B:I've had fun. I hope the greatness that shines from every part of me will go to prove that Pittsburgh is the greatest city in the world. To quote Ron Burgundy, "Milk was a bad choice."
