This is the tenth year Relocate America has compiled the best places to live in the United States, determined by statistics and feedback of the people who live and work in these communities. Nominations include data about education, employment, economy, crime, parks, recreation and housing.
"In addition to a thriving downtown, great parks and many family oriented activities, Rochester boasts outstanding public schools, and the nationally recognized Oakland University," said Sheri Heiney, Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce executive director. "Access to high quality education is an important aspect of this recognition."
Rochester was among four other cities named to the list, including Brighton, Grand Rapids, Plymouth and Traverse City.
In 2005, the Rochester area was named 39th in a list of the top 100 cities in which to live by "Money Magazine" and "CNN Money."

U.S. WNT Faces Germany in Olympic Semifinal Match-up
Aug 22, 2004
U.S. Women's National Team
Notes from Heraklio, Greece, on the island of Crete
U.S. TEAM PREPARES FOR EPIC CLASH WITH GERMANY: The U.S. Olympic Soccer Team traveled south from Thessaloniki down to the island of Crete on Saturday morning, moving base camp back to the beautiful beachfront resort that serves as the Olympic Village in Heraklio. From the moment the quarterfinal victory over Japan ended, the players have been concentrating on resting and regenerating legs that have been through four tough matches in 10 days. The U.S. team spent several days here in Crete in advance of its first match of the tournament against Greece and the players were glad to return to familiar surroundings, as well as a beautiful and serene setting in advance of the semifinal clash with Germany on Monday. The match against the reigning Women's World Cup champions, who hold the No. 1 spot in the FIFA Women's World Rankings, may be the first in modern history in which the U.S. Women's National Team is an underdog heading into the game. It will be the first meeting between the two teams since the USA's crushing 3-0 loss to Germany in the semifinal of the 2003 Women's World Cup, a match that was 1-0 until the final moments when Germany scored twice against a pushed-up U.S. team.
SEMIFINAL LIVE ON MSNBC: The match kicks off at 6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on MSNBC and Telemundo. Fans can also follow the action on www.ussoccer.com's MatchTracker presented by Philips Electronics. The U.S. team did not train on their Saturday travel day, but did go for a short jog and stretch and then a short pool workout in the early afternoon at the hotel in Heraklio. The U.S. team held its final training before the Germany match on Sunday at 6 p.m. – the same time as kickoff -- at the beautiful VAK Field training site, which like all the training sites the USA has used, is a first class facility.
USA CONTINUES STREAK: The advancement of the U.S. women to the semifinals of the 2004 Olympics keeps alive an impressive streak: The USA is the only team in history to advance to the Final Four of every Women's World Cup and Olympic tournament, spanning seven world championship events.
DIFFERENT PATHS, SAME DESITINATION: The USA and Germany arrived at the semifinal through dissimilar routes, the most glaring of which was that the USA played three first round games and Germany played just two. Germany shocked the women's soccer world with an 8-0 win over China to open the tournament, then cruised past Mexico, 2-0, to win Group F. The Germans got all they could handle in the quarterfinals, falling behind Nigeria 1-0 before storming back on goals by Steffi Jones and the crafty Conny Pohlers, the latter in the 81st minute, to win 2-1. The USA played three first round matches, cruising past a highly motivated Greece team in the opening game, 3-0, weathered a tough first half against Brazil to pull out a gutsy, 2-0 win in the second match, and then tied Australia, 1-1, to win Group G. The U.S. team then put together its best game of the tournament in a 2-1 quarterfinal win over Japan, getting goals from Kristine Lilly – the 97th of her career – and the game-winner from Abby Wambach.

USA WILL LOOK TO SLOW PRINZ AND POWERFUL GERMANS: The Germans are the top team in the world and the reason is no secret as the perennial European champions feature world-class players at almost every position, and on their bench. The Germans are big, fast and technical, and are led by the reigning FIFA Women's World Player of the Year in forward Birgit Prinz, who has scored 77 goals in her 119 appearances for Germany and will no doubt join Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers and two Italians in the prestigious 100-goal club sometime in the next few years. Prinz, a former Carolina Courage star in the WUSA, is 5-foot-10 and deceptively fast for her size. The U.S. team will definitely have to keep the clamps on the powerful Prinz, but also have a slew of other talented attacking players to worry about, including a pair of 5-foot-11 midfielders in Steffi Jones and Kerstin Garefrekes, who scored the first and crushing goal against the USA in the 2003 Women's World Cup semifinal. Jones played in the WUSA with the Washington Freedom and is the daughter of an American serviceman. Midfielder Renate Lingor and forward Petra Wimbersky are also talented attacking players while former Atlanta Beat player Conny Pohlers can add some spark off the bench, as she did against Nigeria, scoring the winning goal with nine minutes left. The USA will face a daunting task on air balls as Germany is probably the tallest overall team in the world. Germany's back line is also large and skillful, and not prone to mistakes, as right back Kerstin Stegemann and central defender Sandra Minnert have both played over 100 times for their country while Ariane Hingst is just a few games shot of the century mark. Germany is back-stopped by the intimidating Silke Rottenberg, a remarkably strong and agile goalkeeper who has been her country's No. 1 choice for 11 years. If 5-foot-9 Rottenberg is on, as she was in the 2003 WWC semifinal, she will prove tough to beat, especially on balls in the air.
Goalkeepers (2): 18-Kristin Luckenbill, 1-Briana Scurry; Defenders (6): 6-Brandi Chastain, 14-Joy Fawcett, 15-Kate Markgraf, 2-Heather Mitts, 3-Christie Rampone, 4-Cat Reddick; Midfielders (6): 7-Shannon Boxx, 11-Julie Foudy, 8-Angela Hucles, 13-Kristine Lilly, 5-Lindsay Tarpley, 10-Aly Wagner; Forwards (4): 9-Mia Hamm, 17-Heather O'Reilly, 12-Cindy Parlow, 16-Abby Wambach.
Goalkeepers (2): 1-Silke Rottenberg, 18-Nadine Angerer; Defenders (6): 2-Kerstin Stegemann, 4-Steffi Jones, 5-Sarah Guenther, 13-Sandra Minnert, 15-Sonja Fuss, 17-Ariane Hingst; Midfielders (6): 3-Kerstin Garefrekes, 6-Viola Oderbrecht, 7-Pia Wunderlich, 10-Renate Lingor, 12-Navina Omilade, 14-Isabell Bachor; Forwards (4): 8-Petra Wimbersky, 9-Birgit Prinz, 11-Martina Mueller, 16-Conny Pohlers.
TARP TO THE FRONT: While the U.S. team is happy to be back in Crete, along with the beautiful coast line comes the drive down to the beautiful coastline, which features several drastic hairpin turns that would be difficult to manage on a bicycle, never mind a coach bus. Needless to say, those who suffer from "bus sickness" do not look forward to the drive to and from training. Midfielder Lindsay Tarpley has taken to sitting in the very front seat, next to the coaches, to avoid the nausea. The first time the team filed onto the bus and saw her sitting right behind the driver, they figured she was trying to earn some brownie points with the coaches, but since then, several of the more "motionally challenged" U.S. players have joined her in the front seats.
CRUISING DOWN TO CRETE: The USA's charter flight to Crete from Thessalonica was a beautiful one, with the flight path almost entirely over the Aegean Sea, which makes the hundreds of Greek islands of varying sizes (some are just really large rocks) visible from both sides of the plane cruising at about 15,000 feet over the blue water. Several of the U.S. staff got a bit of a fright before landing, as just before touching down, the pilot made a sharp bank towards the small airport and the runway, with the left wing seemingly just mere feet above the apartment buildings. Upon landing, we can report that there were no clotheslines, TV antennas, pigeon coops or goats on that left wing.
Forward Mia Hamm on if the team feels pressure to win for the veterans:
"Obviously, we want to win this game because it's the semifinal of the Olympics Games, and to get to the gold medal game, that's what we have to do. I don't want (the younger players) to feel that they have pressure on them to do it for us. Let's do it for each other because we feel that's our potential. Let's go out and perform well and leave everything on the field and see what the result is. This is enough pressure as it is. No one needs to get caught up in that."
Hamm on Germany:
"You have to give the respect that Germany has earned. They are the defending world champions and they are the best team in the world. They've proven that to us in last year's World Cup and that's the way we are going to approaching the game, is that we respect them that much. We have to go out there and play our best. We know that. We know what kind of soccer they play and it's not easy to defend against or attack against, but we are going to try to find ways."
Midfielder Shannon Boxx on the Germans and star Birgit Prinz:
"Birgit is an amazing player. She is strong and a great finisher, but she's not the only one. Germany has a lot of good players and we will have to make sure we're on our game tomorrow. For being so tall and big, she's a fast player, but we have great defenders who are all fast and all can handle her strength, so we'll definitely have to play her tight and try to limit her space."
Boxx on if the USA wanted to play Germany:
"We might not have faced each other so we are glad that we got the opportunity to play Germany, to prove ourselves. It's our motivation to win the Olympics and to go up against the best. They are the World Cup champs, so we want to say that we faced all the hardships and won."
Midfielder Julie Foudy on what the USA can do better from the semifinal loss at the 2003 Women's World Cup:
"One of the things we've talked about a lot is that whenever we got end line against them last time, whatever we were serving, Rottenberg was grabbing, so we have to pull that service back. And then just tightening up all around on defensive set plays because we know they are good on that. We need to stay as compact as a defensive group and make sure we don't get spread out. We need to play team defense, not individual. "
Foudy on Wambach, the USA's leading scorer in the Olympics:
"She amazes me more and more every time she steps on the field. She has such a love to play at this level. She has a passion for the game that is so contagious. She thrives in (the competitive atmosphere), and that's how you know she is going to be successful at this level…The style she plays where she leaves everything out there is fun to be a part of and she's putting away her chances. I've so enjoyed these last two years playing with her."
U.S. head coach April Heinrichs on Germany:
"Germany is one of the top teams in the world and we've felt that way since 1991. We felt that way in the 1995 Women's World Cup when they were runners-up to Norway, in 1999 when our paths crossed in the quarterfinals, and in 2000 when they had a phenomenal string of games and probably should have been in the final were it not for the unfortunate nature of soccer sometimes. In 2003, they win the World Cup, so they are unequivocally one of the top three or four teams in world over the 18-20 year history of women's soccer on the international stage."
Heinrichs on the semifinal match-up:
"We have great respect for them. We know how they play and we appreciate they way they play. It makes for a great match-up in the semifinals of this tournament."
STAT OF NOTE: This match will actually mark the third time the two world powers have met in a semifinal match of a world championship. Aside from the 2003 Women's World Cup, the two teams met in the 1991 Women's World Cup semifinals with the USA pulling off what was at the time somewhat of an upset, downing Germany, 5-2, as current U.S. head coach April Heinrichs scored twice while Carin Gabarra notched a hat trick.

Holders of passports containing an Israeli visa or stamps, need to obtain a clearance issued by the C.I.D. (Crime Investigation Department) before arrival. It should also be noted that UAE citizenship is only ever granted to persons whose father is from the UAE. The only way a person becomes a UAE citizen is through paternity. (The UAE does not recognise dual nationality and all UAE citizens are required to enter and exit the country using UAE passports.) This means that regardless of how long a person has lived in the UAE, they will never be granted the same status as a citizen of the UAE and residence permits either by way of property ownership or employment remain the only option for a long-term residence in the country. It is highly recommended that passports have at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
Note: Passport and visa requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travellers are advised to check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.

What will be the key telco IT trends to look out for at Mobile World Congress?
NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you going to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress 2014? Or keeping an eye on events at that show from afar? Then you need to read this.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110913/SF67580LOGO-a)
Service Provider IT Report (http://www.serviceprovideritreport.com), the online community for service provider IT and OSS professionals, has highlighted the five key telecom software and network management industry trends that visitors to this year's Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona are set to encounter.
While the show will be awash with the latest radio access network (RAN), smartphone and applications developments, the increasingly important topic of next-generation network management, the impact of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), and other key service provider IT trends will be just as prominent and important.
"Telecoms used to be all about the network, but that's no longer the case. The network infrastructure is still critically important, of course, but the software systems and IT platforms that help communications service providers run their networks, identify problems, develop new services and analyze terabytes of data are equally as important," said Ray Le Maistre, Editor-in-Chief of Service Provider IT Report and Light Reading (www.lightreading.com).

Parmesan Chicken Sticks
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten
2002 Barefoot Contessa Family Style
- Barefoot Contessa
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (3 to 4)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- Unsalted butter
- Good olive oil
- Bamboo skewers (6 to 10 inches long) or ice-cream sticks
Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice each diagonally into 4 or 5 large strips.
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water on a second plate. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan on a third plate. Dredge the chicken breasts on both sides in the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and roll in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook the chicken strips on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Don't crowd the pan. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts. Serve each strip on a skewer or stick.

Free Agent Target: Can the Celtics bring in David West in 2013?
|Posted by shawn cassidy on May 7, 2013 at 5:30 AM
I don't often do posts about potential deals, and such, but with the Celtics roster in question. I say why not start now. I was looking at some free agents this summer, and one player stuck out to me. It wasn't that long ago when West was rumored to be in a Boston uniform. With that chance coming up once again. I think the Celtics should explore West once again. David West is 32 right now,and he's obviously a guy that the Celtics can't plan a future around. But he provides a toughness that the Celtics lack up front, and have for a long time. A few questions come to mind though. A) Will West want to leave Indiana? B) Can the Celtics pay him enough?
If I am not mistaken the Celtics will have a mid-level exception to play with. The Celtics could pay West half of what he makes now, but I guess another question remains. Would the Pacers want to pay West 10 million a season at his? He's proven to be a big part of the Pacers. His rebounding isn't great, but his defense in note worthy. His offense is something the Celtics need. He can post up very well,and he can provide inside scoring. An option that KG backs away from usually.
I'm not worried about West being 32. I think Danny could or should bring him in on a three deal. What if the Celtics work on a sign and trade sending Bass and another for West? If you deal Bass who is set to make 6 million, and Lee who is set to make 5 million. You can bring in West for what he makes now. That will also leave the Celtics with the mid-level exception. West has been crucial and a big time player so far for the Pacers in their quest for long playoff run. Here's West's career stats.
West is a consistent guy. I think he's an upgrade obviously from what the Celtics have,or an upgrade if Bass is utilized in a sign and trade,and hopefully West is an option for the Celtics this coming summer.

Special Initiatives
Saving The Turrets
The Turrets, designed by architect Bruce Price and built in 1895, is the iconic building and heart of the COA campus. It is also important to all who have come to love the architecture and history of MDI.
It is now in urgent need of repair.
Time is of the essence. In order to avoid interrupting the academic calendar, we will begin reconstruction in April, 2013. The immediate goal is to reconstruct and preserve the outer envelope for the next century. That will cost the college $3.9M and the work will include:
- New roofing infrastructure and a new 100-year slate roof;
- New copper drainage system and copper roof fl ashing;
- Shallow (3-inch) repointing of the granite across 30% of the exterior;
- Deep (up to 12-inch) repointing of the granite across 40% of the exterior;
- Dismantling and reconstruction of the two oceanside turrets;
- Reconstruction of seven granite chimneys;
- New energy-saving and historically honest doors and windows;
- New trim and soffits.
If you would like to know more about The Turrets, and how you can help, please call 207-801-5620 or make a gift online to the renovation of this historical landmark. We feel very strongly about this important project and hope you will join us in making it happen.
Time-lapse images of the project are available here.
Research Stations
Although the Coastguard maintains right of access to the aids to navigation equipment on the islands, the College is responsible for the buildings and maintenance of the structures on both Mount Desert Rock and Great Duck Island.
Mount Desert Rock suffered serious damage after Hurricane Bill blew through the gulf in 2009:
- The generator shed needs to be rebuilt;
- The buildings need new paint;
- The house needs some sprucing up.

New San Antonio homeless study released
Average age for homeless child is 8, average for adult is 37
Haven for Hope may be a huge step toward helping the homeless, but a new fact sheet shows who they are and why it's a problem.
SAMMinistries says it might not be who you think.
"In fact, the average age for a homeless child in San Antonio is about 8, according to the survey," said SAMMinistries CEO Navarra Williams. "And the average age for all children, adults that are homeless is about 37."
Here are some of the other new facts released:
55 percent of homeless families in San Antonio are headed by single women
With a total of 524 children left homeless
Average income for these families? $500 dollars
73.9 percent say their greatest need is not a shelter or a handout, but affordable housing.
"They need access to affordable housing," said Willaims. "That is something that I know San Antonio is beginning to work on, but there's still housing where a lot of people can't afford to pay just the regular market price rent."
Williams says without the homelessness prevention funds that helped families in crisis temporarily meet rent and utility costs, the numbers would be much higher.
"We had $2 million of homeless prevention funds, coupled with our own funds, helped us keep about 10,000 people out of homelessness over the last three years, including about 7,000 children," he said.

Helping a child face a diagnosis is not an easy task, especially if the child feels like he or she is going to be "tagged" for life by having to wear a medical alert bracelet. There are ways to help ease a child into their new realty – here are some tips to keep in mind during the transition.
Always be your child's advocate. This may seem like a no brainer at doctor's appointments and with school, but your child needs to hear you advocating for him or her in every location and step in his or her life. There will be times when you will inevitably disagree with your partner, your child's teacher, counselor, and doctor about a course of treatment or way of approaching the subject with your child – but make sure that the disagreements focus more on the child's needs rather than who's correct in any situation.
Let your child take the lead when it comes to making decisions along the way with a course of treatment, and especially when determining whether to explain their diagnosis to peers and friends. Before your child decides whether to explain their new accessory to their peers, ensure they have a complete understanding of what it is and why they must wear it. If a child decides to disclose their new reality, help them do it in a way that makes them seem strong, as a child may be afraid to appear weak in a social situation. Simply explaining a medical alert bracelet as my "boo-boo bracelet" can work for a young child, while an adolescent may want to explain that they have a disorder that requires them to wear it. Help them practice explaining the disorder, and give examples of questions that their friends may ask so your child isn't caught off guard.
When it comes to choosing your child's medical alert bracelet, make sure you pick something that is sturdy, and check the bracelet clasps for durability (it should be waterproof and hold up to resistance and wear-and-tear). Help your child accept their new "accessory" as something that can look good as well as help them in a dangerous situation. There are very nice medical alert bracelets on the market that are geared at all ages and styles, so there should be a variety to chose from. Don't make it sound like your child has to pick one to wear for the rest of their life – they can always "grow out" of a certain style and into another one.
The switch to wearing a constant reminder of a diagnosis can be difficult on a child emotionally, as well. Focus on your child's needs as an individual when it comes to addressing the emotional component of wearing a medical alert bracelet – you know your child best. For some children, minimizing the medical alert bracelet may be the best approach, while others will want to talk about how they feel multiple times.
Helping your child through this transition is difficult, but can be made easier by remembering these tips.

The Epic Tale of Cole / Stein
The story of David Stein, aka David Cole, is the typical all-American story. Indeed, he's the prototypical "everyman." His dad was the doctor who killed Elvis. By 21 years of age, he was universally condemned as the "Jewish Holocaust denier," even though he never denied the Holocaust. He appeared on the highest-rated news and talk shows of the time. Phil Donahue called him "the Antichrist," and "60 Minutes" called him a danger to mankind. He was one of only two guests ever canceled by the Jerry Springer Show (the other was a necrophiliac). He reunited Holocaust survivors who didn't know their family members were still alive, he forced the Auschwitz State Museum to stop exhibiting an air raid shelter as a "gas chamber," and he was stalked by a neo-Nazi serial killer whose story would later be dramatized on "Law and Order." He was denounced as a Mossad "double agent," and by age 25, he had a $25,000 bounty put on his head by a terrorist group, so he faked his death by pretending to drown off the coast of San Diego, later resurfacing as a respected documentary filmmaker, working with Warner Brothers, and producing the final film of legendary Oscar-winning screenwriter Budd Schulberg. He then reinvented himself yet again as a leading Republican Party organizer in L.A., working with congressmen, Bush Administration officials, and Hollywood's top-secret GOP underground (consisting of celebrities like Gary Sinise and Clint Eastwood), while at the same time becoming a leading conservative investigative journalist. In 2013 his "Jewish Holocaust denier" past was "outed" by the six-foot-tall redheaded fashion model he'd been financially supporting (and whose Blake Shelton-affiliated country music star sister he'd helped save from a life of prostitution). He was banned from the Republican Party for life, and denounced in over 200 newspapers, magazines, and websites.
In theory, this might just make an interesting book. At the very least, it's unlikely you'll be bored while reading it.

Museums >Total Martial Arts Center
2708 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1122940.600147 -73.944412
Neighborhoods: Sheepshead Bay
Excellent instructors who give attention to details and effective feedback that help you gain confidence quickly through efficiency of technique.
This is a great studio with fantastic teachers. They're so good that 3/4 of my family goes & would most likely prefer to be in class than at home. They work well with all ages - 4, 14, or 40. The kids are excited to learn and the adults seem motivated as well.
I have been a student in Total Martial Arts' jiu jitsu program since August 2010 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I've noticed increased energy and endurance as classes continue. I enjoyed it so much that I'm now in the Apprentice Instructor program, learning to perfect my form and expand my understanding of teaching. The other students are great and the teaching style is fun yet structured. This is a great and valuable program for increasing self-confidence and physical improvement.
Total Martial Arts has a very friendly vibe and you can tell that everybody likes one another there. It is beginner-friendly and with an emphasis on self-defense which I love. It also has a solid curriculum which is not always the case with most martial arts schools. Location is great and parking is convenient. Highly recommended!!
Impressive – All I can say is I wish I'd have started here first. I feel I've progressed at a much quicker rate than where I was previously training, as the instruction is broken down in a much more comprehensive way. I can't imagine training anywhere else. Also the location is second to none. Now, 90% of my friends are training at Total Martial Arts as well!
thank you – Your service was courteous and professional and your work is extremely high quality with obvious attention to detail.
Great – May I take this opportunity of thanking you and your colleagues at Total Martial Arts Center for the efficient and friendly way you have dealt with this.
PS1 not so green afterall – As a big supporter of the Warmup series and the great art that PS1 supports and exhibits I am thoroughly disappointed at the hypocrisy that goes on outside the venue each Saturday. Inside we have Public Farm One, a wonderful example of everything our planet should be, green. An art installation that uses sustainable materials in a beautiful way to not only produce a wonderful atmosphere for all to relax under, but also to support the idea that rooftop gardens help save our environment with each and every planting.
All of this inside, yet outside we have Warmup workers placing wristbands on people and throwing the sticker backings from them on the sidewalk when garbage cans are placed right next to them. This has happened each and every week this summer and it is disgraceful that such a blatant disregard for the planet we live on is exhibited outside of an environmentally friendly exhibit inside.
PS1 and Warmup should be ashamed of the workers they hire there and if I were the curator of the museum it would not be tolerated. This is the only reason I give this 3 stars.
New York's best nonprofit contemporary art center is the king of Queens' art scene. – The Scene
After a three-year reconstruction, P.S.1--redesigned by L.A. architect Frederick Fisher--reopened its expanded gallery spaces in 1997. The multi-surfaced, 125,000-square-foot center builds upon the original Gothic revival-school building and includes an outdoor exhibition/performance space, a cafe and spacious indoor galleries.
The Collection
Since its reopening, P.S.1 has continued in its previous role as one of the most important art institutions in New York. For about three decades, the center has been a who's who of the most important artists working today while offering innovative and offbeat exhibitions. Having merged with MOMA, P.S.1's national and international studio programs are undoubtedly one of the most desirable in the world, attracting top-level artists from the world over for year-long residencies and an annual exhibition.
Where have all the grownups gone – Although I enjoyed much of the show in its brashness and at times whimsical exploitation of media, I felt a need to see more than this. For one, where was the seductive craftmanship in the finishing of the works? Many works seemed to be classroom projects handed out by professors. Alot has been said about the wealth of drawings, but where are the fine art painters, very few were in evidence (re: the devil painting). I have been seeing a trend in the galleries lately. If a young artist chooses to paint realistically are they exempted from showing because it does not have shock value?

Cover art by Tom Austin
Welcome to another lean, mean and ready to kick butt issue of Worldforge's now monthly newsletter, the Chopping Block.
It seems that the whole Worldforge project has gone Werewolf mad, so the Chopping Block has followed suit. This issue is officially proclaimed the "Werewolf!" issue (plenty exclamation marks to go around!). We have Tom to thank for this lovely Werewolf cover art piece. As well we have an a couple of articles taken from Bryce's split personality ranting about this new rage of mob lynching.
But those who hadn't caught Werewolf fever yet there is still something in this issue for you! This is a good report from the YUP team about there up and coming client. (Might give Sal and XClient a run for their money.) Aloril has been busy with some more Atlas stuff, this time it's a little more complex, a Chat server. For all you German speaking people there is a German translation of the Worldforge FAQ (All thought if you can read this you can most probably read the FAQ :). And for those of you who prefer giant, flying flies over werewolves Kai has some information on the Dipviras.
There is also a late submission by Demitar of an article about his RIM-Python stuff.
Well that about covers this issue of the Chopping Block! See you all again in a month with another issue of the Chopping Block! (BTW all beware, - Be werry, werry, quiet. I'm hunting CB articles -)
This is Mithro signing off.

Heidi Klum went shoe shopping for her daughter Leni in Beverly Hills over the weekend. Wearing a brown beanie, some vintage shades, distressed jeans and a groovy studded belt, she pulls off the rocker look quite well. From chic, to glam, to rock, it goes without saying that Heidi Klum can pull off ANY look quite well — And, she does!

Eva Longoria got her "hair did" at the Ken Paves Salon on Friday. Desperate for a new look, our lady Eva spent nearly four hours in a chair for those new long golden brown extensions. Miley spent five hours getting similar locks last week – wonder if their hair came from the same head! The Paris Hilton extension craze is back boys and girls, buy some hair today! Looking stunning, Longoria had some hair matching Ray-Ban shades to deflect the photo flashes as she made her dashing exit!

Jessica Alba did a little mother-daughter bonding this weekend, taking Honor Marie on a little shopping spree. Casual chic, for sure, Alba was hot-to-trot in her fitted jeans, chuck taylors, blue scarf, and faboo leather and suede handbag. Rockin' a pair of retro aviator sunglasses and sharp bangs, she knows how to be a "cool mom" and do it in style. Props to Honor Marie, your mommy is so in the know, the crochet booties are all the rage!

Super prego Alyson Hannigan was flower shopping in Santa Monica with her husband and baby daddy Alexis Denisof over the weekend. While it has been a long time since her "band camp" days in American Pie, the mommy-to-be still had the whole uniform theme down with her hubby. Similar styles are cute, but never match your better half accessory for accessory. Hat, scarf, white sweater, shades, and some matching shoes — who needs band camp when you can be a young mom, shopping with your studly hubby, and matching while doin' it up low-key Hollywood style. Good thing he isn't sporting a matching bump in the front!

Miley, with her Daddy Billy Ray in tow, finished up lunch and then went shopping in LA this weekend. She may be a country gal, but sporting her new extensions and shocking red Prada bowling bag, this young poptart just oozes Hollywood. She could use a little makeup or a tan, but then again, she's 16 with a lotta Prada and a uber-hunky model boyfriend – so, who cares!

Not shopping, but hawking – Fergie was at Nordstrom on Saturday introducing her new line of shoes. For her fashion affair, the fergilicious diva was clad in a bizarre teal beach cover-up sorta thing with pockets, drawstring, and a thick leather belt. Let's just hope the shoes in her new line are more up-to-date than her frumpy yet overdone look. The heels she's flauntin' look hot, but oh-so dangerous to walk in!

GAMBIER The Knox County Symphony, directed by Benjamin Locke, will present its final concert of the season Sunday at 8 p.m. in Rosse Hall Auditorium on the Kenyon College campus. Joining the Symphony will be the 115-voice Kenyon Community Choir in a performance of Naenie (Elegy) by Johannes Brahms and Requiem in D Minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The soloists for the Mozart will be Kenyon undergraduates Ellen Kaufman, soprano, Robyn Rae Stype, mezzo-soprano, Julian Tancredi, tenor, and Nicholas Hargreaves-Heald, bass.
Johannes Brahmss Naenie was completed in the summer of 1881, one of the last compositions he would write for chorus and orchestra. It was written in commemoration of the death of his friend Anselm Feuerbach, a neoclassicist painter. The text by Schiller is a re-creation of an ancient Roman funeral dirge (noenia) that was sung by the parents upon the death of a child. Appropriately, then, Brahms dedicated the work to Feuerbachs stepmother. Brahms himself conducted the premiere in Zurich the following December. The work is notable in how it is free of foreboding or anguish; rather, by utilizing long, expressive melodic lines in the keys of D major and F-sharp major, it focuses on the aspect of remembrance as a healing force.
Many myths surround the composition of the Requiem in d minor by Mozart, but all that is known as certain is that Mozart died Dec. 5, 1791, after working on the project for about three months. Only the first movement is entirely in Mozarts hand; the movements up to the Hostias included vocal parts and a figured bass with occasional indications for string and woodwind parts, and Mozart only completed the first eight bars of the Lacrymosa. At the request of Mozarts widow Constanze, the Requiem was completed by Joseph Eybler and Franz Xaver Suessmayr. It is unclear how much was completed according to Mozarts direction, but the Sanctus and Benedictus are considered to be entirely of Suessmayrs invention. Ellen Kaufman, soprano, is a junior English and music double major from Pittsburgh. She has been a member of the Kenyon College Chamber Singers since freshman year, and has served as the tour manager for the past two years. During the summer of 2011, she spent six weeks studying under Karen Peeler at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria. At Kenyon, she has studied with Dr. Nancy Jantsch and Jennifer Marcellana.
Robyn Rae Stype, mezzo-soprano, is a senior drama major from Columbus. She is currently in her third year as a member of the Kenyon College Chamber Singers. She is the president of Colla Voce, Kenyons female classical ensemble. Robyn has studied with Dr. Carolyn Redman for three years, and in May of 2011, she was selected to perform in the Angela Waite Student Recital.
Julian Tancredi, tenor, is a senior anthropology major with minors in physics and Japanese. He counts Philadelphia as his hometown. He has had the pleasure and privilege of being a member of both the Kenyon College Chamber Singers and the Kenyon College Chasers for his four years at Kenyon.
Nicholas Hargreaves-Heald, bass, is a senior and a four year member of both Chamber Singers and The Kokosingers. As a history major, he is interested in military history, musicology, political philosophy, and sociology. His musical studies at Kenyon include music theory and music history.
The Symphony is completing its 46th season of continuous music-making for the Knox County area. It has enjoyed the generous support of individuals, businesses and corporations to maintain and expand its artistic goals for the community, including a now-annual free concert for the children of Knox County.
Tickets will be available at the door. There is a charge for admission. For more information, contact Sarah Goslee Reed at 392-4955.

PITTSBURGH—Jurors have ended a third day of deliberations in the trial of a fired Pittsburgh state prison guard charged with 80 counts of physically abusing or sexually assaulting inmates—or having other guards and inmate workers do it for him.
Sixty-one-year-old Harry Nicoletti is charged by Allegheny County prosecutors with targeting convicted child molesters and gay inmates at the century-old lockup.
Tuesday was the third day of deliberations for the jury which appeared to be focusing on charges that Nicoletti had others assault the inmates.
They first asked a judge to define "solicitation"—which Nicoletti allegedly did when he had an inmate beat up another—and then had a court reporter testimony by one inmate who claimed Nicoletti molested him and had him beat up others.
Deliberations resume Wednesday.

The Affordable Care Act will ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care and significantly reduce long-term health care costs. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has determined that it will provide coverage to 32 million more people, or more than 94% of Americans, while lowering health care costs over the long term. This historic legislation will reduce the deficit by $143 billion over the next ten years, with $1.2 trillion in additional deficit reduction in the following 10 years.
What the legislation does for you:
Health insurance reform puts American families and small business owners--not the insurance companies--in control of their own health care.
Making health insurance affordable for middle class and small businesses--one of largest tax cuts for health care in history--reducing premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
Giving millions of Americans access to affordable insurance choices just as big businesses have--through a new competitive health insurance market that keeps costs down.
Holding insurance companies accountable to keep premiums down and prevent denials of care and coverage, including for pre-existing conditions.
Improving Medicare benefits with lower prescription drug costs for those in the 'donut hole,' better chronic care, free preventive care, and nearly a decade more of solvency for Medicare.
Reducing the deficit by $143 billion over the next ten years, and by $1.2 trillion more over the following decade; reining in waste, fraud and abuse, paying for quality over quantity of care.
Failure to enact reform would have meant continued double digit premium increases--some as high as 60%, arbitrary loss of coverage, and huge increases in the national deficit.
- On February 25th, House and Senate leaders of both parties met with President Obama at the Blair House to discuss moving forward with comprehensive health reform.
- On March 18th, House Democrats unveiled legislation to improve the Senate-passed bill achieving our three key goals--affordability for the middle class, accessibility for all Americans, and accountability for the insurance industry.
- On March 21st, the House passed the Affordable Care Act by a vote of 219 to 212--sending it to the President for his signature into law on March 23rd.
- The House also passed the Reconciliation bill to improve the Affordable Care Act by a vote of 220 to 211 on the 21st--which the Senate passed on March 25th, with two small changes, and it returned to the House later that evening, passing by a vote of 220-207.

2014 Commencement Speaker
Dr. Lael Brainard, former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs and presidential nominee to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, will deliver the keynote address at the College's 67th Annual Commencement ceremony.
Dr. Brainard has served as an important economic advisor to two presidents. She was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, following her recent service as Under Secretary for International Affairs at the Department of Treasury. In recognition for her work addressing financial stability during the Euro crisis, leading efforts with the G-20 on the global recovery, and serving as an important member of the negotiations over reforms in China's economy, Dr. Brainard was awarded the Alexander Hamilton Award.
Dr. Brainard previously served President Bill Clinton as Deputy Director of the White House National Economic Council and G-8 Sherpa, where she helped coordinate the response to the Mexican Financial Crisis and the Asian Financial Crisis and led efforts on development and trade. She served as Vice President of the Brookings Institution, where she built a new research program to address key global economic challenges. Dr. Brainard also was Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where her research made important contributions to the debate on the relationship between offshore production, trade, and jobs and the measurement of structural and cyclical unemployment. Dr. Brainard received her doctorate from Harvard University, where she was a National Science Foundation Fellow, and her bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University. She started her career in the private sector at McKinsey & Co.
