NEWPORT BEACH – Orange County education leaders expressed optimism Thursday that underperforming and special-needs students could have a better shot at catching up to their peers under a new set of national curriculum standards being gradually phased into K-12 classrooms.
At a county forum to discuss the rollout of the Common Core State Standards, officials said the streamlined instructional standards that students will soon be expected to master could make it easier for schools to level the playing field for everyone.
"With fewer common core standards, we maybe have a chance to close that gap (that starts as early as) kindergarten," said panelist Sherry Kropp, superintendent of the Los Alamitos Unified School District. "I just think we can do it; we just haven't figured out how for all kids yet."
Thursday's three-hour forum in Newport Beach, called "Transformational Change in Education," brought together local business, education and community leaders to discuss the Common Core State Standards, a new teaching strategy that emphasizes big-picture, conceptual understandings and working collaboratively to develop greater mastery of topics.
The common core standards for English and math are being rolled out over the next two years across California and most other U.S. states. In spring 2015, California is expected to overhaul its standardized testing program to align with the new standards.
Keynote speaker David Coleman, president of the New York-based College Board company that develops the SAT and other exams, explained that "slowing down" and simplifying what educators are expected to teach – hallmarks of the common-core approach – are logical strategies to help struggling students.
"The common core standards aren't a miracle drug that will let kids leap to suddenly being ready" for college and careers, said Coleman, an architect of the common core, but "even for kids who are behind, the solution is still to slow down."
School officials also reiterated Thursday that the common-core approach would be good for all students.
Even among high-achievers, it's common knowledge that the amount of information students are expected to master is so vast that they won't retain much of it in the long term, officials said.
Students also are matriculating to colleges and careers without skills that they need – chiefly, Coleman said, the ability to read and write "sufficiently rigorous" nonfiction texts, and then to build and synthesize knowledge from those texts.
"What we all know is good teaching is going deep, understanding the relevance of what they're learning," said panelist Terry Walker, superintendent of the Irvine Unified School District. "This isn't something new. We know what good instruction looks like."
Meanwhile, the new common-core standardized tests that will be developed in the coming years are expected to be aligned so closely with college proficiency standards that some colleges may use them as admissions factors, said presenter Demaree Michelau, policy analysis director for the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
"The test isn't designed to be an admissions exam, but it might be used for that when it's done," Michelau said.
Panelists acknowledged Thursday they would face enormous challenges educating the public that common core was not just the latest fad in public education.
"It's important that we don't let this be another No Child Left Behind," said Capistrano Unified Superintendent Joe Farley, referring to the much-maligned federal school-accountability law. "We need to embrace it so we are fundamentally changing how we teach."
The uphill battle to fight rumors and myths about common core also could prove difficult, panelists said.
In recent months, rampant speculation among common-core skeptics has suggested that fiction classics such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" could be replaced with nonfiction technical texts.
A goal of common core is indeed to reduce the portion of fiction books in U.S. classrooms (down to about half), but also to bring up the overall number of texts that students read, common-core proponents say. As more analytical reading is emphasized in science and social studies classrooms, more fiction books can remain in English classrooms, common-core architects point out.
"It doesn't strip literature," Kropp said Thursday, explaining that certain fiction books "that are about our history and culture" would remain in the curriculum.
Even so, she questioned whether the elimination of some fictional texts would be a bad thing: "It gets to what is the purpose of public education."
Panelist Wallace Walrod, chief economic adviser for the Orange County Business Council, looked at common core from a practical standpoint, noting that the world was changing and public education would need to adapt.
"Maybe in some ways we've been setting up our system for failure instead of setting (our students) up for success, which is what business tries to do," Walrod said.
"We're in a global landscape, and our businesses are competing globally for talent. This seems like a good first step and a path forward for me."

Metal remains fertile ground for satire on all fronts, but what sets the Cartoon Network's new animated series Metalocalypse (premiering this Sunday at 11:45 pm on "Adult Swim") apart is the reverence that precedes the ridicule. The show is created by fans for fans, to recruit the uninitiated and slay the posers. Creators Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha are so into metal, they ingest it like coffee.
Explaining it to me for the Webzine Maelstrom.nu, Small said, "We're not making fun of metal but of celebrity culture. We love metal, and feel protective of it, as any fan should. But the funny thing about celebrities is that we tend to worship people who cause bad things to happen. They can literally get away with murder."
Metalocalypse follows the mayhem surrounding the world's biggest band, and 12th-largest economy, Dethklok. They live in a gigantic upside-down dragon boat perched atop the fjords of Norway. They cause disaster, destruction, and bloodshed wherever they go. In an age where metal is king, Dethklok's business savvy trumps the world's most shrewd visionaries. But they're excessively dumb when it comes to the most rudimentary tasks. For example, they don't know how to make food for themselves — not even a sandwich. During one scene, guitarist Skwisgarr Skwigelf tries to make coffee with a toaster. Although they've outsold the Beatles, Dethklok are, Brendon Small promises, "Just a thousand times more dangerous and a billion times more stupid."
Heck yes, they're dangerous — a shady symposium of world leaders scrutinizes the band's every move. "We must watch them," the group's pensive, gravel-voiced chairman instructs from the shadows. As a cultural force, Dethklok are a matter of international security. They accidentally kill 100,000 of their fans within the first five minutes of the season premiere. The sheer volume of silly violence (operative word: volume) makes terrorists look like total pussies. Amen.
Brendon Small emerged from Boston's comedy scene after graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1997. He found comedy more liberating than becoming a session musician or an industry screw. Producer Loren Bouchard caught Brendon's stand-up routine one evening at the Comedy Studio (above the Hong Kong in Harvard Square) and, attracted to both his humor and vocal delivery, asked him to contribute to the cartoon series Home Movies. The show — about an eight-year-old film auteur — amassed a cult following for its dry wit and irreverence, running four seasons on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block.
Small's new focus on writing a metal show is not without precedent: he composed all of the music for Home Movies, and he brought his guitar-shredding talents to the public ear in the classic episode "Guitarmageddon." For Metalocalypse, he goes farther still, with growling vocals, frenzied blastbeats, and Yngwie Malmsteen–drenched guitar solos. He even writes the show's supermarket muzak.

Binghamton University students garner prestigious awards
Four Binghamton University students have been honored with prestigious awards. Ravi Gupta won a Truman Foundation Scholarship; Alina Tourkova was named a Junior Fellow by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and Matthew Gervais and Elisa Pueschel have received Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships.
In recognizing the students, BU President Lois B. DeFleur said, "Our students are extraordinarily talented and successful, and we are proud, as a University community, to share in the honor and distinction of these esteemed awards which they have received."
Ravi Gupta, a double major in science and public policy and philosophy from Staten Island, New York, has been selected to receive a $26,000 scholarship from the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. Gupta is one of 77 winners selected from among 609 candidates from across the country on the basis of leadership potential, intellectual ability, and likelihood of "making a difference."
Last summer, Gupta taught English and science to children in Ghana while raising money to build a school there. He founded Binghamton Students for Students International, a SA-chartered group, which raises awareness and funds for students in Third-World countries, and Atuu International, a New York state registered charity, which raises scholarship funds for students in Ghana. Gupta volunteers at Red Cross blood drives, and tutors through the Center for Academic Excellence, donating all his wages to Atuu International.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has named Alina Tourkova a Junior Fellow for the 2004 - 2005 year. She is one of ten students selected from a pool of 305 applicants from across the United States.
Expected to graduate in May with a double major in political science and Russian studies, and a minor in economics, Tourkova will work in Washington D.C. at the Carnegie Endowment's Russian and Eurasian program as a research assistant to academics, former government officials, lawyers and journalists from throughout the world. Their role is to study the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the United States' role in the world.
Founder and president of BU's Russian Club, Tourkova has tutored BU students in political science and Russian. She has also mentored local middle school children who recently emigrated from Russia and the Ukraine. Last year, she received the Dr. Israel J. Rosefsky Language and Culture scholarship to study in St. Petersburg, Russia. Tourkova hails from Fairlawn, New Jersey.
Two BU students were awarded Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships, a premier national award that fosters and encourages outstanding students to pursue careers in the fields of mathematics, science and engineering.
Matthew Gervais, a sophomore double majoring in psychobiology and philosophy, and minoring in anthropology, and Elisa Pueschel, a junior majoring in physics, are among the 310 winners from 1,113 nominees nationwide.
Gervais, who is from Liverpool, New York, received an Undergraduate Research Award last fall to study the evolution and causes of laughter by synthesizing existing theories and research from across several disciplines. His work continues as an independent study with evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson. Gervais is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the Golden Key National Honor Society, and has made the dean's list every semester.
Pueschel, who is from Vestal, New York, is a Binghamton Scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She won first place in the fall 2002 undergraduate poster competition at the American Physical Society Symposium. Last spring, she received an Undergraduate Research Award to study the relationship between a metal particle's size and its melting temperature. Pueschel's continuing research activities include developing new ways of studying the top quark, a mercurial variety of one of the two elementary building blocks of matter, at the particle collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Chicago.

Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett Talk Guitar Solos and Gear in 1991 Guitar World Interview
Kirk, "The Unforgiven" features an unusual solo. How did it evolve?
HAMMETT: That was probably the most challenging solo on the album. I had something worked out before I got into the studio, but Bob felt it wasn't quite appropriate. He asked if I could try something dirtier and more sustaining -- something more in the vein of Jeff Beck. At first I was kind of hurt, but then I realized he was right. I started finger-picking a chordal thing, and Bob liked the way it sounded. He said, "Why don't you play that entire guitar solo with your fingers, and really pull on the strings and slap them against the frets?" It was a cool idea. I did it and it sounded really percussive. That was the first time I fingerpicked a guitar solo on an album.
That's a great example of a song that was a challenge, feel-wise. Did any challenge your harmonic capabilities?
HAMMETT: "Of Wolf And Man." It reminded me of some of the more progressive music on Justice. The rhythm parts jumped from a I chord to a bV chord-you know, that E to Bb thing-which always presents a problem. I was stumped at first, but after a while I just started singing various lines and adapting my vocal melodies for the guitar. I discovered that singing shakes down a lot of imaginary boundaries, and disrupts that tendency to gravitate towards familiar scales and finger patterns on the guitar.
Does the band offer much input regarding your guitar solos?
HAMMETT: When you're that close to a performance, you sometimes need an objective opinion, and it's good to ask the guys. But you know, I'll only change so much. [laughs] They'll make suggestions, but they never tell me what to play. It's more like, ''I'm going to play what I think feels good, and if you don't like it, you tell me, and maybe I'll change it." We had a really big argument about a certain guitar solo. I thought one way and the guys thought another way. I said, "No, this is the way I want it to tum out." And that's the way we kept it. But it's good to have an objective opinion around, because it can lead to other areas and directions you didn't consider in the first place.
For example?
HAMMETT: The solo that really comes to mind is the one in "The God That Failed." I had this whole thing worked out, and Bob said, "I don't know if that's going to make it -- try something like this." And he half snag, half mumbled something. The only things really audible were the first three out of the eight or nine notes he was trying to sing. So I took those three notes and came up with a phrase that actually worked very, very well. Between his singing and my interpretation, we mapped out a solo that was a lot different than my original idea.
James, why is it that you don't play any solos?
HETFIELD: I can't play leads. I can do really cool harmony shit, and on slow songs I can do bendy, feely-type shit, but my strength is in writing riffs. I just have a better feel for rhythm. I'll never be able to play fast like Kirk. I don't even try, 'cause he's the man. Some of his solo stuff on this new album is really good. He's using a lot of wah-wah lately, which everyone in the band really loves.
Kirk, your use of the wah-wah pedal has almost become your signature.
HAMMETT: There's something about a wah pedal that really gets my gut going! People will probably say, "He's just hiding behind the wah." But that isn't the case. It's just that those frequencies really bring out a lot of aggression in my approach. Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy; I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more.
The only problem I've had with my Vox wah is its tendency to move around on the floor. So now it sits on a rubber mat that says in big letters, "Kirk's Wah-Wah Rug." [laughs]
Your solos on this album seem much more fluid than those of the past. What's your secret?
HAMMETT: We toured for a year-and-a-half before we recorded this album, and that really helped my playing a lot. I also started listening to different kinds of music, which helped broaden my perspective. For example, I've been experimenting with slide guitar.
Additionally, I discovered a new recording process that really works for me. On Metallica I recorded six or seven different guitar solos for almost every song, took the best aspects of each solo, mapped out a master solo and made a composite. Then I learned how to play the composite solo, tightened it up and replayed it for the final version. The only bad thing about that process is that it led to a lot of arguments.
Didn't being in the studio for so long drive you crazy?
HETFIELD: Yes, it did! [laughs] Very much so. I don't remember doing anything else; I don't remember not living in the studio. I'm itching for people to hear this album because I'm sick of hearing it myself. That's the ultimate feeling -- when someone hears your shit and says, "That's good!" And I go, "I know, but it's good to hear you say it!'

Today's Obesity Report and Yesterday's Transport Report
Listening to the news headlines this morning, leading on a government-backed study on obesity, reminded me of the hit and miss nature of our understanding of where society is going - and how it has already shaped our thinking.
In response to John Humphrys' assertion that obesity has grown as supermarkets have grown, Sir David King, the government's chief scientific advisor and head of the Foresight Programme which drew up the report, cited driving to a supermarket as part of the problem.
But one hour earlier, Betty McBride of the British Heart Foundation, taking on the mantle of government basher, doggedly stuck to changes in food labelling, food advertising and cookery classes in schools as the key weapons in the fight against obesity. And of course the food labelling will help us all "when we shop at Tesco's".
Good as it goes, but interesting how the thinking of even the British Heart Foundation has been shaped and limited by the very social forces with which it is trying to deal. Listening to that interview, Ms McBride assumed that the better food regime would be developed in and around our supermarkets.
In the town that recently rejected a Tesco development, in the only town that is both a Cycling and a Sustainable Travel Demonstration Town, we could do with following Sir David King's lead, and examining the transport policy - and health - implications of supermarket culture. Yesterday's post, reporting on a transport safety report, suggested that urban planning is making it too easy for cars, and too difficult for walkers and cyclists. Today's study describes our society as "obesogenic", because of its endemic gearing towards a sedentary lifestyle.
Might it be possible that a healthy lifestyle involves seeking out healthier foods on foot and on a bike, rather than (only) "on supermarket shelves"?

As such a large change happens over just 12 years, could it be that we are starting to see the children who have grown up in a supermarket-dominated society now growing up into fat adults? I'm 30 and the first supermarket in Darlington openned when I was 2 or 3 (I'm told; as I don't remember).
Nationally, just 1 in 4 adults eats healthily and just 1 in 8 is physically active. Scary.
Walking and cycling to locally-owned shops, selling locally-farmed food can only be good for the town.
Perhaps there could be some link between local traders and Local Motion? Perhaps an "Oxford Ring" could be installed outside very small local shop to allow cyclists to secure their bikes?

That's a great idea. I'll forward this to Darlington Friends of the Earth, who have published a "shop local" guide to Darlington.

Well yes, Darlo has to do something about cycling facilities. For what did they get the money? Can't they think beyond marketing?
See also the Copenhagen film please. It is just about infrastructure!!

Mistakes costly for Under 21s.
Liverpool 4 (Dunn 44, Iorfa-og 48, Lussey 49, Rossiter 55)
Wolves 0
The Wolves Under 21s suffered their heaviest defeat of the season as they slumped to a 4-0 reversal against Liverpool at Anfield with all of the goals coming in a 12 minute spell either side of the interval.
There was an early chance for Cameron Brannagan who sliced the ball wide after running on to a lobbed ball from Rafael Paez.
Stephen Sama fired wide after running in from the right before Jordan Cranston moved forward to give Wanderers their first worthwhile chance when he beat two defenders as he cut inside from the left before shooting narrowly wide.
In the 20th minute, Dominic Iorfa blocked well to deny Liverpool the lead as he got in the way of Kristoffer Peterson's goalbound shot after Jordan Lussey had delivered the cross.
Lussey then went close to breaking through after he took a return pass from Brannigan but Jon Flatt made a tremendous fingertip save to thwart the striker.
With seconds remaining in the first half Liverpool took the lead. Jack Dunn advanced from midfield and from 25yards he hit a low shot beyond the dive of Flatt.
Half-Time: Liverpool 1 Wolves 0
The opening minutes of the second period proved to be disastrous for the visitors as the Reds knocked in three further goals in quick succession.
In the 48th minute Iorfa turned a short, low cross from Dunn into his own net and, within 60 seconds, Lussey headed a third after a centre from Villyan Bijev.
With their tails up the Liverpool men went in search of a fourth and it arrived in the 55th minute as Jordan Rossiter wasn't closed down as he homed in on Flatt's goal before steering the ball into the corner of the net past the helpless keeper.
Despite having little chance of getting back into the game, the Molineux youngsters regrouped and almost pulled one back through Kristian Kostrna who hit a tremendous shot that was just of target.
Coach Steve Weaver said: "I just didn't see this coming given our first half performance when we more than matched Liverpool. Even when they scored just before half-time, I still believed that we could take something from the game.
"But then three bad individual mistakes were punished by three goals in just a few minutes and, all of a sudden, the game was gone.
"In each case we were trying to play the ball out from the back and, in each case, we lost possession. Then, after those crazy few minutes we reverted to the way we had played in the opening half. Obviously, by then it was too little, too late.
"The important thing now is to put it behind us and move on. Nothing can change the result now but it's vital that the players learn from the mistakes that they had made which proved to be so costly on the night."
Liverpool: Mersin, Sama (Williams 46), Maguire, Paez, Jones (capt), Rossiter, Dunn, Lussey (Chirivella 73), Bijev (Sinclair 79), Brannagan, Peterson.
Unused subs: Sokolik, Firth.
Wolves: Flatt, Kellerman, Cranston, Jakobsson, Iorfa, Tank, Whittall (capt), Kostrna, Reid (Keita 73), Torras (Parry 53), Forde.

After 16 years at its Hyde Square location, the Bella Luna Restaurant/Milky Way Lounge finally packed it in Sunday and hit the streets with an anything-goes parade from its street-level restaurant and basement bowling-alley nightclub to its soon-to-be home at the renovated Brewery complex on Amory Street.
Co-owner Kathie Mainzer floated through the teeming afternoon crowd in a bright blue muumuu and a Princess Ardala tiara. "I'm so proud of the way this family's grown," she told me right before twirling around to say hello to Mayor Menino. Kids grabbed balloons from volunteers, bleary-eyed students finished to-go breakfasts, and a guy on stilts paced the sidewalk, warming up for the narrow route down Paul Gore Street.
Menino grabbed a mic on the makeshift pick-up-trailer float and remembered pioneer days in the old Hyde Square. "This neighborhood — folks didn't want to come here," he said, thanking everybody for making the Bella Luna and Milky Way "a home for people to come who didn't have a home, a place to come for dinner."
"The greatest man in America!" said co-owner Charlie Rose. "When we moved in, people asked if we were going to put bars up on the windows. We said, 'No way, and we're going to stay open till one in the morning. Come on down.' "
The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band — horn players, drummers, and folks with washboard chest-plate armor to skraketty-skrat with — kicked into some New Orleans swing and the parade was off. Car alarms joined in on the choruses and bemused residents popped out onto their triple-decker porches. A hundred yards back of the Brass Band marched the Bloco Afro Brazil drum corps — a dozen persons in bright yellow and green pounding funk and samba beats.
At the Brewery, the two bands played a face-to-face throwdown of "When the Saints Come Marching In." People grabbed free cupcakes and hot cider from the refreshment tables (courtesy of new Brewery neighbor Ula Café). The new spot is still fenced off for construction, but as one twentysomething reveler told his friend, "At least I have a clue where this place is now."

Corporate Teambuilding & Events
What's happening in the kitchen?
Kitchens, cooking, and great food bring people together. That's why the Midwest Culinary Institute now offers culinary teambuilding, designed for corporations, agencies, and other organizations seeking to build or mend bridges, strengthen work relationships, innovate, and more.
This exciting alternative to the tired "ropes courses" and meeting retreats in the woods takes associates out of their comfort zones and into a professional kitchen with a highly skilled culinary expert. The prospect may seem daunting to those with little or no culinary experience, as well as for those who think they know how to cook. The fear factor soon dissipates as together participants work to achieve culinary—and team—goals.
Who's in the kitchen?
A typical MCI team-building cooking class consists of a three-hour experience. Up to 20 participants, divided in teams, tie on their aprons and immediately jump into a crash course on using culinary utensils. They then proceed through a well-orchestrated cooking session to innovate by amalgamating their individual tastes and personalities into one unique, successful culinary creation that will be shared with all.
What are the takeaways?
Each team comes away with an extraordinary workday experience, based on what is an ordinary, everyday life experience: cooking and enjoying great food. Participants tell us they experience "a celebration of fun" while building a basis of knowledge for creating dishes at home for friends and family.
Other valuable "deliverables" include:
- Teambuilding without really trying
- Camaraderie built through communication and accomplishment
- The opportunity to experiment and share ideas while bonding with colleagues
- A chance to create and taste interesting, delicious cuisine
- A printed memento of all the dishes created during the day
Plus all participants receive an official Midwest Culinary Institute apron to wear proudly as a symbol of success in the kitchen.
What are the requirements?
While some specific requirements may vary from group to group, the following safety guidelines apply to all:
- All participants should wear closed-toe shoes with low heels (1/2 inch or less). Rubber soled shoes are suggested to maximize stability on wet or soiled floors.
- Participants should avoid clothing that drapes off the arms or wrists, which may pose a potential hazard around stove tops.
- Remember the maxim "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." To make it more comfortable to remain in the kitchen, participants should wear light breathable attire or layers (on cold days).
Want to know more?
For more details on MCI culinary teambuilding, as well as a helpful assessment of whether it is right for your group, please contact Ruthann Kanitz via email or at 513-569-4981. Our culinary team-building experts will customize a program that meets your organization's objectives on the timeframe that's best for you.
Midwest Culinary Institute—your entrée to a successful future

Peter UPWARD
Peter Upward was born in Melbourne on 28 September 1932. He began his training at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1951 before transferring to the Julian Ashton School in Sydney (1951–55); there he studied under John Passmore, who encouraged his early interest in abstraction. In 1956 Upward settled in Melbourne, enjoying a successful period there until 1960, when he was drawn back to Sydney, favouring its cosmopolitan lifestyle and strong support for abstraction. There he worked and exhibited alongside other abstract painters—including John Olsen, Clement Meadmore, Passmore, Leonard Hessing, and Stanislaus Rapotec. Upward's first show, a joint exhibition with Meadmore, was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne, in 1959. This was followed in 1961 by two major Sydney 9 group exhibitions, shown in Sydney and Melbourne.
In 1962 Upward moved to London where he experienced some success with three solo exhibitions. During his time in London, his work underwent significant change based on his developing interests in astrology, beat generation literature and Action Painting. Upward returned permanently to Sydney in 1971 and began teaching at East Sydney Technical College. He continued painting and exhibiting, expanding and evolving his approach to colour and materials. His expressive style of abstraction, which was uncommon in Australia at the time, led to his recognition as an outstanding and vibrant artist. In 1980 his work was exhibited in Abstract Expressionism in Australia, a group exhibition held at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery in Sydney. Upward died in Sydney on 9 November 1983. A retrospective was shown the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, in 1984. A second retrospective, organised by the Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest, was shown in 2007.

As much as I wanted to see Mark Lanegan's show at The Powerstation (his new album is excellent), I couldn't resist the pull of the classic garage band from Tacoma, Washington, The Sonics. Chances are I would have the opportunity to see Lanegan again, but, considering their age, I am certain that this would be the only chance to catch The Sonics.
I admit that, even though The Sonics made some of the fiercest rock'n'roll to come out of the Pacific Northwest, I had low expectations for their live show. After all, this is 2012 and The Sonics is a band who formed in 1960 and initially split up in 1968. That's a long time ago, and the chances of them recreating the excitement of those classic recordings were slim. But you know what? They did it.
The atmosphere was perfect at the Kings Arms, just the right size crowd and plenty of enthusiasm. The Sonics came on with a roar, playing He's Waitin' from their second album, 1966's Boom. These days the band consists of original members Gerry Roslie (vocals and keyboards), Larry Parypa (guitar) and Rob Lind (sax, vocals, harmonica) along with drummer Ricky Lynn Johnson and Freddie Dennis on bass and vocals.
Even during their heyday, the band's sets consisted of a mix of original tunes and an assortment of bar band standards. Nothing has changed. The band covered the old Motown hit, Money along with Have Love Will Travel, I Don't Need No Doctor and three Little Richard tunes (Keep A Knockin', Lucille and Jenny, Jenny) all sung by Dennis.
Roslie was in good voice as well, but the real highlight was Larry Parypa's guitar playing. His sound is still raw and piercing and he played some excellent solos, particularly during Shot Down.
Although most of the songs dated from the 1960s, they did play a few tunes from their newest release, last year's Sonics 8. Fortunately songs like Vampire Kiss and Cheap Shades fit right in.
But it was the classics that the crowd came to hear and The Sonics delivered. I don't think I've ever heard a better one-two punch at the Kings Arms than Strychnine followed by Psycho. Awesome!
The only way to follow those two was with the great Northwest rock standard Louie, Louie. They finished the regular set with The Witch, which was stunning.
The encore was something of a let-down - a stripped down version of Don't You Just Know It and the third Little Richard tune, Jenny, Jenny.
But hey, I got to see The Sonics. And they were loud, raw and rockin'.
Who: The Sonics
Where: Kings Arms, Auckland
When: Wednesday 18 April

OK the title of this thread has been gnawing at me since it first appeared. "The Libyan Embassy in Benghazi." And now it's gone some 26 pages without correction. Marvin, there is no Libyan Embassy in Benghazi...It was a US Consulate Office. It was attacked. No doubt. Americans were killled, no doubt.
What is doubtful here is the grasp of reality.... and no one but the staff on the ground at that moment can second guess what and how there should be a response. To politicize the deaths of the Ambassador and the contractors paid to provide security is shameful. JD

Once a way to make use of stale tortillas (by toasting and/or frying them), tostadas are so good that it wasn't long before people simply started using fresh tortillas. After biting into these layers of flavor—crunchy, creamy, luscious—you'll see why.
Leave a Review
I made this yesterday and it's a keeper!!! I added one red pepper, one Poblano pepper with the Serrano. Roasted them and it really added a nice depth to the sauce. Made fresh Pico de Gallo on the side. It could easily be made into a lower fat version but the one thing I would not skimp on is the authentic Sheep's milk cheese. It's a great fast dinner, especially if you can purchase a pre-cooked roasted chicken and shred it the next day. Served with the Pico de Gallo, extra good quality tortilla chips, Whole food's store brand rewarmed in the oven with extra sea salt work well, and a fresh batch of watermelon margaritas, and it's fiesta night!
One of the best Mexican recipes I have ever tried - our family loved it! Instead of the rotisserie chicken I coated chicken breasts with dried chili pepper, cumin, salt, coriander and grilled. Because it's hot here I didn't want to run my oven so I put the tomato/onion mix in a foil packet and grilled it alongside the chicken breasts, and I did add a bit of cayenne pepper to the mix. Fantastic recipe, have already made it twice in the last couple weeks!
After all the reviews saying the tomato salsa for the chicken wasn't worth it, I was weary to try it. However, it's fast to make and gives the chicken an excellent flavor and mild heat with just one serrano. Definitely go for it. It's going into the permanent rotation at my house.
Oops, meant to make it 4 forks.
Made this tonight and it was delightful. I didn't have iceberg, so substituted with a combo of Romaine lettuce and purple cabbage, which provided great crunchy texture. Great combination of flavors and textures -- my family loved it!
Oops! Forgot the fork rating...
I chose not to fry to tortillas, wanting to save some calories. This was good, easy, quick, and nutritious. Best of all, my family asked me to make it again.
WOW - didn't change a thing about the recipe (except add a couple drops of my favorite hot sauce on top before eating), it was absolutely delicious. And also makes a super quick meal the next day with the leftovers - just fry up some more tortillas and you're good to go!
The Tostadas were excellect, followed recipe with the addition of cumin and lime juice to taste to the Chicken mixture. Used romaine instead of iceberg. Be sure to serve with a wedge of lime for spritzing the the salad topping. Next time, will broil corn tortillas till crisp. Prep to finish, about 1 hour

"I have always been passionately and actively involved in the Akron Community through my board service and other community activities. My degree in Public Administration has prepared me for public service, giving me a clear understanding on public policy, budgeting and how the government works. My eight months on council I have learned a lot and understand that there is still more to be learned. I have begun the process of addressing some of the issues plaguing our community such as safer neighborhoods. I hosted a community meeting to bring residents of Ward 3 together to begin to strategize on how we can reduce gun violence in our neighborhoods. I have begun the process of job creation by passing legislation to create a CDL training program through the Akron Urban League to prepare Ward 3 residents for upcoming sewer project jobs.

"I am running for Akron City Council because Ward 3 residents deserve safer neighborhoods, more job opportunities and affordable housing. I want Ward 3 to become a family focused community, a jewel in the heart of our city. I believe I bring a fresh perspective while strategizing solutions to the problems facing our community. As a business owner and home owner, I have a vested interest in making sure Ward 3 is successful."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"Safer neighborhoods, we must create a community where people want to live, work, invest and open businesses. Job creation is a key to keeping people home in Ward 3 so that they can give back to the community in which they grew up in. We must address the issue of high numbers of vacant, old and dilapidated homes in our community. Razing abandon homes ends the plagues of trash, liter, drugs and crime and allows neighborhoods to create community gardens and parks."

Study shows atorvastatin is well tolerated by the Asian population at all approved doses
Singapore: A large-scale retrospective database analysis on atorvastatin (Lipitor) by Astellas Pharma and Pfizer Japan has demonstrated that atorvastatin is as well tolerated by the Asian population as it is by the overall study population at all approved doses. The data were released at the 23rd Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology in Beijing.
Asia is facing a heart-health crisis, with heart disease, heart attack and stroke being major causes of death. In Southeast Asia, for example, an estimated 3.6 million deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases. In fact, people in the region die from cardiovascular diseases at relatively young ages, with 27 percent of all deaths due to cardiovascular diseases occurring before the age of 60 years,compared to 16 percent in the rest of the world.
In a region where changing demographics and lifestyle drive an increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases, concerns about tolerability may mean that treatment is not optimized to achieve the goals set out by international guidelines, leaving many Asians at unnecessary risk of cardiovascular events. Even though the benefit and safety profile of atorvastatin were established through many international clinical trials and clinical experience over 20 years, the safety data on Asian people (compared to those on non-Asians) was so far limited in scope.
This analysis was the first large-scale database analysis performed to investigate the tolerability of atorvastatin at all approved doses in the overall subject population and in Asians in particular.
In this retrospective analysis, 77,949 patients (including 3,191 Asian patients) in 58 atorvastatin clinical trials were included. Of these, 2,519 Asian patients received atorvastatin treatment. Out of the 58 clinical trials, the outcomes of the six long-term trials (median duration from 3.1 to 4.9 years) were analyzed individually and the 52 short-term trials (median duration from 4 to 72 weeks) that had included atorvastatin at doses ranging from 10 mg to 80 mg were pooled and analyzed by category.

WHD: Helping a family cope with conflict and displacement
On World Humanitarian Day this year (19 August) we celebrated the most basic principle of humanitarian work: People Helping People. For inspiration, and to remind everyone of the extraordinary things ordinary people are capable of doing, we asked professional aid workers to tell us a story about someone who inspired them in a crisis.
I was working in Liberia in 2011 with refugees who had fled the conflict in Côte d'Ivoire when I met Melanie. She was 17 at the time, and had left with her six younger brothers and sisters; the youngest was just three. Their parents had stayed in Côte d'Ivoire. Somehow Melanie had found a village, and a house with a room where the landlord said that if she worked in the fields to cover the rent, they could stay. So that is where they were living – all seven of them.

Reality Check: Walker Ad Features New Berlin Business Owner
New Berlin Business Owner Is Walker Donor
MADISON, Wis. - A New Berlin business owner is featured in an ad from Gov. Scott Walker, who is fighting a recall effort.
"Gov. Walker is a friend to small business here, and he recognizes that 70 percent of the jobs created in this country and in this state are by small businesses," says a man identified as "Chris, Business owner" in the ad.
Business owner "Chris" is Chris Rebholz, president and CEO of Christopher Morgan Fulfillment Services LLC, based in New Berlin.
The company produces infomercials and distributes products that people may have seen on TV.
"He wants all of the people in this state to be successful. It is comforting," says Rebholz in the ad. "And it has been rare, so it is a refreshing change."
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. While this may be Rebholz's personal view, previous administrations have not seemed to hinder his company's growth.
Rebholz was honored by Business Times Magazine of Milwaukee with a Bravo Entrepreneur award in 2008, in part because Rebholz said he was able to grow his company from $400,000 in revenue in 2002 to $5.6 million in 2007, and that all would have happened under the administration of Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle.
The company's growth hasn't stopped during the recession, posting record revenues in 2008 and 2009. Rebholz told Biztimes.com that his company does well in a down economy because "traditional companies are downsizing and looking to outsource work to companies like ours."
"We can see that if Wisconsin continues on a pro-business strategy, we are going to grow our staff here," Rebholz says in the ad.
WISC-TV found this is true. Rebholz recently told Biztimes.com that his company had bought a Pennsylvania firm and would be bringing some of those jobs to Wisconsin.
Rebholz is a donor to Walker, giving him $4,500 during the 2010 campaign, and an organization to which he belongs, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, also strongly supported the governor in his 2010 campaign, giving more than $400,000 to the Republican Governor's Association to support his election bid.

So i'm a student in information systems, or to put it more simply java based website for corporation.
Recently I've taken quite some interest in making a minecraft clone, because I like learning new stuff and I want a better minecraft.
I'm working on the graphical engine and I noticed that using a static class containing
- view distance
- Sector size
- installation paths
- an array of Texture (slick object)
Now, what do you think? is this a good idea to do this? in my line of work static attributes or classes are considered as evil.
It messes up with our unit testing and mocking.
As my teacher say, if you want to do static classes go back to procedural languages, you are doing objects now.
But this is not a information system, so does these rules still apply?

Juan GRIS
José Victoriano Carmelo Carlos González Pérez (b Madrid, 23 March 1887 –d Boulogne-sur-Seine, France, 24 January 1927) studied at Madrid's Escuela de Artes y Manufacturas but left to work under Spanish academic painter, José Moreno Carbonero. From 1905 he began to identify himself as a modernista or modern artist working in the international Art Nouveau style, and called himself Juan Gris.
In 1906 he left Spain permanently, moving to Paris where he associated with artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. From 1912 he exhibited with the Salon des Indépendants and contributed to Cubist exhibitions, becoming a leading collagist, particularly with paper collage from 1913.
Through Picasso, Gris was introduced to Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes and watched the rehearsals of Parade. However, it was not until 1922 that he began to design for the company, with costumes and sets for Les Tentations de la bergère (1924). He also was commissioned by Diaghilev to design costumes and sets for the receptions and balls known as Fêtes Mervilleuses, held in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles (1923). In 1924 he also provided designs for the comic opera La Colombe (The dove) and the one-act operetta Une Education manqué (An incomplete education). Both these productions were staged in Monte Carlo. In May 1924 Gris produced his final collaboration with Diaghilev, a Red Cross gala held at Les Grands Magasins du Printemps in Paris.

David Edward Mergen
Madison - David Edward Mergen, age 80, of Madison, passed away on January 17, 2013.
Dave was born in Bloomington, Wis. on June 11, 1932. He remained dedicated to his Grant County roots throughout his lifetime. He graduated from Fennimore high school in 1950, and entered the Air Force, serving his country from 1952-1956. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville with his degree in Education, and later completed the Graduate School of Banking through the University of Wisconsin School of Business.
He married Doris Mae Richards of Platteville, on February 15, 1958 and together with their faith and through music they shared 54 wonderful years together.
After an early career in radio and television broadcasting, Dave joined Hilldale State Bank, a small community bank that ultimately grew to become the M&I Bank of Hilldale. Dave served as president of M&I Bank of Hilldale, and retired as the Chairman of the Board of M&I Madison Banks. Even after retirement, he remained active in the Madison area business community serving as a consultant and mentor for many small business ventures and non-profit groups.
Dave was dedicated to the community in which he lived and worked. His contributions were numerous and significant - especially for St. Vincent de Paul and Our Lady Queen of Peace church and school. He was also an active member of the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame organization.
Dave's was a life well lived. He treasured his family and friends - whether it was fishing, singing, or card playing - it was the camaraderie which he enjoyed most - jokes told, wisdom shared, and the occasional fish caught. Young children were mesmerized by his magic trick.
Dave is survived by his wife Doris (nee Richards); daughter, Julie Schumacher (Dave); son, Shawn (Christene); daughter, Amy (Paul Waitrovich); and son, Nathan (Michelle); and his five grandchildren, Elizabeth, Jack, Isabella, Andrew and Samuel. He is also survived by his sisters, Mary Pat Venteicher (Dick) of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Kay Brunoehler (Ron) of Mendota, Ill.; his wife's family, Ann Hauser (Roger), Ted Richards (Sande), Mark Richards (Juliette), Phil Richards (Donna) and Chris Yingling (John); and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Lula (nee Walz) Mergen; and his two brothers James and Richard.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, January 22, 2013 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610 Speedway Road, Madison.
A funeral mass will be held Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE CATHOLIC CHURCH, 401 S. Owen Dr., Madison, WI 53711.
A visitation will be held prior to service beginning at 10:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Our Lady Queen of Peace School Endowment Fund (www.qopc.org) or the Catholic Multi-Cultural Center of Madison (www.cmctoday.org).
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Democrats and Spiritual Cannibalism at the King Funeral
Democrats reached another new low yesterday in using the occasion of Coretta Scott King's funeral to launch a personal attack on President Bush, who was there not just to honor her memory, but the legacy of Martin Luther King. As Dennis Prager said in his radio show today, it is not as if she herself was an important person. Certainly she seemed to carry herself with dignity in public, and she undoubtedly meant well, but, like Jackie Onassis, she was famous for who she was married to, not because of her ideas or accomplishments. In fact, like me, I'm sure the President would find many of her ideas naive, goofy, and frankly dangerous. But that would be no excuse to politicize and degrade the solemn occasion of a funeral, much less to cynically use it as a means to score some cheap political points. There is a time and place to debate those things. Not when you're sitting in front of the body, reflecting on the meaning of a life. Unless you're a Democrat.
Of course, this wasn't the first time in recent memory that Democrats have used death as a means to resurrect their moribund political fortunes. For example, we all remember the dignified Paul Wellstone funferal.
And last November, in a post entitled The Democratic Hall of Shamelessness, I discussed the similar politicization of the death of Rosa Parks. Most notably, Charles Schumer argued that Justice Alito would use his position on the bench to undo every advance in civil rights that had been achieved in Parks' lifetime. Unlike Parks, Alito would use his "seat" do do evil. Why this constant demagogic pandering isn't offensive to most blacks is a mystery to me.
The reason why the left politicizes these occasion is that they politicize everything. For the secular left (and this includes the pseudo-religion of the "liberation theologies" of the left), politics is religion, so it is entirely appropriate to politicize a funeral. In their mind, they are actually spiritualizing it by injecting it with their sacred political iconography.
Death is rich with unconscious meaning. Human sacrifice has been characteristic of virtually all religions from time immemorial. It was the default religion of all primitive cultures, and represented a sort of natural curative remedy for ancient man. In the unconscious, there is an abiding belief that one's own death may be averted by offering up a substitute victim, and that a sort of immortality may be achieved by "ingesting" the life force of the sacrificial victim. Thus, in the absence of real religion, Democrats engaged in a sort of cannibalization of Mrs. King, consuming her spirit in order to revive their sagging fortunes. Yes, my friends, a significant portion of Democrats are not just classless and tasteless. They are cannibals--or, if you like, the "dementors" of Harry Potter fame that suck the life out of souls. Same thing. We all have spiritual cannibals and dementors in our lives.
The attack on the President began with the irReverend Joseph Lowery, who said that Mrs. King "deplored the terror of our smart bombs and missiles way afar. We now know there were no weapons of mass destruction over there… [24 seconds of standing ovation] but Coretta knew, and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. [More whoopin' & hollerin']. Millions without health insurance, poverty abounds. For war, millions more. But no more for the poor."
How stupid of Bush to have relied upon the world's intelligence agencies instead of consulting with Coretta Scott King about the WMD. She knew. But why didn't she speak up? Since she and President Bush are the only two people in the world who knew there were no WMD, it seems to me that she's as guilty as he is. Burn her!
And "no more for the poor?" Last time I checked, President Bush had not vetoed a single spending bill, and the government was spending record amounts on entitlement programs. Poverty abounds? Not for people who finish school, get married, and don't have children out of wedlock. But I suppose mentioning that would be politicizing the funeral.
Bill Clinton adopted a subtler approach, using the occasion as a campaign stop for Hillary rather than a frontal assault on the President. He mentioned that he was delighted to be in the presence of his president, his former presidents, and then, slyly looking at Hillary.... He didn't have to speak the unspeakable. The audience got it. More who-let-the-dogs-out woohooing. What's the word I'm looking for? Dignified. You know, like an Arsenio Hall rerun.
Never mind that Clinton's political mentor was that staunch supporter of segregation forever, J. William Fulbright. Unless you are fully bright, you wouldn't know that. I guess this means that Clinton wasn't just our first "black president," but our first Uncle Tom president.
In any event, his self-serving campaign ad was tasteful compared to the vile comments of America's first female President, Jimmy Carter, a nasty piece of work who holds the distinction of having been unfit to be president and now unfit to be ex-president. He immediately brought out that new liberal icon, The Government Response to Katrina, solemnly intoning that "We only have to recall the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi" to know that inequality exists.
First of all, it has been thoroughly debunked that the hurricaine affected blacks disproportionately in Mayor Nagin's "chocolate city." However, it is true that we have only to recall the blank face on the mayor's noggin and the vacant expression of the blanco Governor to know that inequality exists. When will people with blank and vacant faces--whether blanco o negro, en espanol--achieve equality with the alert and bright-eyed?
To thunderous applause, Carter also noted that the Kings once were "victims of secret government wiretapping and other surveillance and, as you know, harassment by the FBI," obviously a direct stab at President Bush. Can you imagine if Bush had politicized the occasion by reminding the audience that the Kings had indeed been victims--victims of the Democratic wiretapping program appproved by LBJ and Robert Kennedy in order to infiltrate and disrupt the civil rights movement? Or that, unlike his Democratic predecessors, the present spying program did not confuse terrorists who want to destroy civil rights with leaders who want to advance them?
In another reference to the President, Carter mentioned the Kings' embrace of non-violence to solve disputes. In full peaceive-aggressive mode, he said, "It is always a temptation to forget that we worship the Prince of Peace," and that the Kings "exemplified the finest aspect of American values and brought upon our nation the admiration of the entire world."
This is unlike you-know-who, who just doesn't understand that bin Laden, Zarqawi, Saddam, and the Mad Mullahs would instantly abandon their psychotic aspirations if only we adopted Carter's tried-and-true method of passive-aggressive, I mean, passive non-violence.
Remember how well that worked for Carter when he dealt with Ahmadinejad the first time around? Carter passively stood by and assisted in the peaceful transition to the first Islamic terror state in 1979. When Carter passively and peacefully left office in 1980, Ahmadinejad and his fellow Iranian terrorists immediately released the American hostages. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Carter was replaced by president who actually had a pair. Remember when Saddam peacefully abandoned his nuclear program after Israel bombed the hell out of it? Or how about when Carter's fellow Nobel laureate Arafat peacefully ended the intifada after Sharon cleaned out their terrorist nests and built a wall?
Yes, passivity and love solve all problems. Except at funerals. Then you've really got to ratchet up the rhetoric and stick it to your enemies.
ADDENDUM--What did Joyce say today?
Sobs they sighdid at Fillagain's chrissormiss wake, all the hoolivans of the nation, prostrated in their consternation and their duodisimally profusive plethora of ululation.

are you interested in specific technical comments?
I think DIRECT implies other things but i can't think of anything to change it to
Perhaps you want to mention the point that double is acting with the same precision as a float but presumably is there in case double is added with full precision in the future.
It's almost as bad as things like 'proper time'... but I can live with DIRECT - makes sure people read your documentation I'll let you know if I find any actual issues with it rather than me nitpicking

I've gotten an opportunity to combine my interest in computing with my interest in building design. And, lacking anyone to talk about it with, I've decided to start a series on computing and building design here. I'm going to begin with a discussion of current work, and move on to both software specfics and broader issues.
Some background first: the University of Oregon's Environmental Control Systems series covers HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning), lighting, and acoustics. As part of the two-course series we are expected to do two Vital Signs studies as term projects. For my first study, I did something about air-flow in a stairwell. For the second, I am now doing a project involving daylight and artificial light in a fine old library reading room; you can see some of the preliminary results here. Part of the project involves predicting lighting.
Now the usual means of doing this is to build a physical scale model and photograph it in actual daylight. But this cannot predict the combination of artificial light and daylight with any reliability; it is very difficult to build accurate working scale models of luminaires (lamps + fixtures + controls) and even more difficult to match the light that a luminaire actually puts out.
An ideal situation for computer modelling, not so? And when, back in the '70s, daylighting experienced a revival, a research effort was begun which bore fruit in a program called Radiance. Now Radiance is a strange and wonderful beast. It is an extra-ordinarily good lighting modeller; it combines radiosity and ray-tracing approaches to the prediction of radiance (which is the technical name for electromagnetic radiation coming from a point) in the visible spectrum and produces models accurate enough to use for lighting design and handsome enough to use architectural presentations.
However, Radiance is exceptionally difficult to use. I would guess there are at most 500 regular users of the system; perhaps as few as 100. These users, however, include some of the foremost engineering firms and lighting designers in the world. The difficulties with Radiance lie in two areas: compatibility with existing building modelling software and user interface.
And I think I'm going to break this off here...I will eventually get to such fun things as setting up Radiance on a Beowulf cluster and the need for an open framework for computer architectural modelling.
