Movies About Music & Musicians
Hollywood is at its best when it produces movies that inspire. With respect to movies about music and musicians, here are a dozen that inspire me:
1. The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) (Jeff & Beau Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer)
Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors and is extremely versatile. Characters seem real and the movie avoids relationship cliches and stereotypes that so often leave the viewer less than satisfied.
2. For Love or Country (2000) (Andy Garcia)
Garcia portrays Cuban trumpet player Arturo Sandoval. All musicians talk about how important our art is to us, but this movie makes you ask the questions, "How much do I really love music and what would I do to pursue it?"
3. Swing Kids (1993) (Robert Sean Leonard, Christian Bale)
Compelling story of a movement of young kids who used Swing dance and jazz as a form of rebellion against the Nazi movement in pre-WWII Germany.
4. Mr. Holland's Opus (1995) (Richard Dreyfuss)
Some might find this movie corny or sappy, but I love it. The movie really captures the essence of what makes great music teachers great – The ability to reach into the core of each student individually and give them what they need and to grow as a musician and as a person.
5. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) (James Cagney)
The most iconic performance by James Cagney in his portrayal of Broadway legend George M. Cohan, especially when you consider that Cagney was known as a tough guy, gangster type in most of his movie roles.
6. The Buddy Holly Story (1978) (Gary Busey)
This movie captured the excitement of the early days of rock and roll. Though Busey's career never lived up to its potential, he turns in a great performance here.
7. This is Spinal Tap (1984) (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer)
Every cliche of the ego-driven rock star is exposed here – some real laugh out loud moments and don't underestimate the value of the musical talents of the leading actors here in making this movie work.
8. Walk the Line (2005) (Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon)
It's difficult to portray flawed celebrities in a way that makes you understand both why they were beloved and how they could be despised at times. This film "walks that line" wonderfully.
9. Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) (Sissy Spacek, Tommie Lee Jones)
Like Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn's story had an unpleasant side (primarily her relationship with an abusive husband) that needed to be a part of the mix if the movie was to be credible. Likeable for many of the same reasons.
10. A Mighty Wind (2000) (Ensemble Cast)
It's clear that the cast and creators of this movie, who have also put together a string of satirical films with a cult following (This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman) had a clear affinity for the folk music movement of the 1950′s and 60′s while understanding how the personalities easily lent themselves to jest. Heartwarming and funny and not far from an accurate portrayal of the mindset of the folk musician.
11. The Five Pennies (1959) (Danny Kaye, Barbara Bel Geddes, Louis Armstrong)
Danny Kaye was one of the most likeable and engaging celebrities on the screen or off. Movie features a fun performance by Louis Armstrong.
12. The Blues Brothers (1980) (John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd) Though the movie resorts to car chases and the storyline gets slow at times, this movie stands the test of time for 2 reasons: a plethora of cameo appearances by legendary blues & R&B musicians; and the chemistry and playfulness of the lead actors in their most lovable and enduring roles/characters.
Here are a few others that I haven't seen that are highly regarded:
Sid & Nancy (1986) Gary Oldman delivered a powerful performance portraying Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols.
Bird (1988) The troubled life of brilliant and groundbreaking jazz saxophone player Charlie "Yardbird" Parker is portrayed by Forest Whitaker. Directed by jazz aficionado and musician Clint Eastwood.
Lady Sings the Blues (1972) Diana Ross gives an Oscar-nominated performance as jazz vocalist Billie Holliday.
Ray (2004) Jamie Foxx in his Oscar-winning performance as Ray Charles.
Round Midnight (1986) Dexter Gordon gives a critically acclaimed performance as an aging jazz saxophonist.
Amadeus (1990) The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart garnered 8 Academy awards.
Shine (1996) Based on the true story of Australian pianist David Helfgott.
Here's a more extensive list from UC Berkeley

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : Vendee Globe - Gamesa skipper nears record third finish
Vendee Globe - Gamesa skipper nears record third finish
'Mike Golding - 2012 Vendee Globe'
Mark Lloyd/ DDPI/Vendee Globe ©
In the Vendee Globe, at 0700hrs UTC this morning, Mike Golding had around 160 difficult miles left to reach Les Sables d'Olonne and the finish line, becoming the first person to have finished the race three times.
Golding is on course to take sixth place, around 90 miles behind Jean Le Cam who remains slightly faster than his British rival, in the tough conditions which have prevailed on the Bay of Biscay for the last 24 hours.
Mike Golding is fighting with a leak into the keel box of Gamesa in gale force winds and big seas, having to slow regularly to help the pumps take water from the inside of his boat.
'At the moment all I am interested in is concentrating on dealing with the weather. My only focus right now is just concern to get through the weather right now safely. I have 40 knots of breeze and a really nasty sea state.'
Golding should finish during the late afternoon, between 1500 and 1900hrs local.
Once Mike has crossed the finish line, and it is safe to do so, he will motor up the canal to the Vendée Globe Race Village.
When docked, a host broadcast TV interview will take place. 15 minutes of print and TV interviews at the dock before Mike is taken up to the finish podium for an interview in front of the public.
Mike will then move to the press conference, from which the audio will be streamed online at
Vendee Globe
and a transcript issued by the team.

The Paleo community seems to be very anti-running except for maybe 10 minutes total of sprints a week. I walk about 5-6 hrs a week, lift weights 3 days a week and do rings and rope climbs one day a week (light, don't push it). I can hike for hours but can't run for 10 minutes. Although Paleo seems to be so anti-running I figured this is an indicator that I need to start running. I was thinking get up to 2 miles at a pace of 8 minutes a mile and that's it. Do you think this is counter productive for overall health? I don't do sprints, maybe I need to do that instead? Hope this isn't a stupid question. I basically have never run for exercise in my life and figured it would help overall fitness.
I recommend reading Born To Run, by Christopher Mcdougall. It is a riveting book and will appeal to those with the paleo mindset. It is about one guy's quest to be able to run without pain. Along the way he discovers barefoot running, which leads him to the Tarahumara, the Mexican indian tribe whose members routinely run 100 miles on homemade sandals. It explores human morphology, and we learn that we are practically designed to run. With little hair and numerous sweat glands, we can actually cool ourselves while running--other animals can't do this, they must stop and pant, or die. Because we run on our "hind legs" only, our respiration is totally independent of our gait. Most other running animals can inhale and exhale only one time per stride. He speculates that man is a specialist persistence hunter, which is running game down to exhaustion. I guarantee if you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it down. However, we also know about the dangers of chronic cardio and chronic inflammation. So, just because we can do it, doesn't necessarily mean we should. I've long admired marathoners for their ability to attain peak cardiovascular performance, and especially for the ability to endure incredible discomfort and pain for the time it takes to complete the race. But I wouldn't want to do it myself, and in the long run I think it's unhealthy. I read somewhere that on a warm day, a persistance hunter might only have to chase an animal for 15 minutes before it overheats and has to stop (for reasons outlined in the book this is not easy). So it seems to me that running 15-30 minutes once or twice a week is probably in keeping with our paleolithic heritage. |
I really don't think that running is necessarily bad for your health. I think the main thing to get is that you don't need to run in order to be healthy (nor do any other steady state long and rather intense aerobics). And this is the great difference between the common wisdom and the 'paleo-exercise-rules'. But you can be healthy and run... for fun. Long distance running is not necessary for health and from an efficiency point of view, it is not very good at it. Exercising the way you often find in this community (like the suggestions Mark Sisson makes) is better. But by all means, if you enjoy running, why shouldn't you run? But use your evolutionary framework to avoid some pitfalls:
And of course, as you suggested yourself, take a slow and gradual increase in intensity. If you don't enjoy running, keep on walking as you do, and keep your shorter and intenser workouts short and intense. Seems to me like you're doing fine! (Edit: for clarity: I do agree that running too much is unhealthy, see many of the other commenters, see chronic cardio) |
To think that many of our "Paleo" and "tribal" ancestors didn't do significant running is ridiculous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52k6FdApB94 |
I've bee a long-distance runner for 27 years. I took it up as a child with severe asthma at my pediatricians request, ran my first 8 miler at 11 and kicked my asthma's ass within a year. Today I'm a barefoot runner and do it because I love to do it....the runner's high is like a blissful state in mediation for me....it comes around rarely. No, I....like most of the distance runner's I know, run because we love it, because it's a form of meditation and an opportunity to be very present in the body. There are specific books written for distance runners, so I balk at the notion that a distance runner can' do well on a paleo diet, nor that a paleo eater can't/shouldn't be a distance runner...any thoughts? |
I run 2-5 miles a few times a week in vibrams or cross country flats. I don't like to jog much, so I tend to run hard for a few blocks and then back off, weave between obstacles, jump and touch signs, anything to make it fun. Paleo is big on sprints because of the McMaster and Tabata studies, but there is also research demonstrating the benefits of intervals in 3000m runners. Kurt has two posts on the potential negative effects of habitual long distance runners (marathoners), but the volume of work they do is far beyond running two miles a few times a week. I see little evidence to suggest your goal would be anything but positive for your health. |
I don't believe that our ancestors, in a societal way, did long-distance running that would equate to anything like our half-marathons or marathons. I do believe, like many of you, that they did run -- at least for some kind of long distances, more like our 5K's. I ran before I started Paleo, and had already run a couple of half-marathons plus a bunch of smaller races. I am not a guy who runs every day, nor do I run 50+ miles a week even. However, I do still run half-marathons (two down already this year, one in Rochester and one in Buffalo) and have other long races coming up this year (including my first full marathon in September). Ryan, I think running is a nice counterpart to doing any kind of crossfit or cross-training. Many running coaches and writers highly advocate cross-training on the days off from a running program, so why not vice versa? 8-minute miles are no joke, either, so I applaud you for being that fast! :) |
Two miles at eight minute per mile pace is exactly what I do once a week. I think the anti-running stance you mention is a response to the 50+ miles a week routines many people advocate, aka chronic cardio. Sure that's detrimental, just look at how many runners end up crocked in later life. A few runs every so often if you're body tells you it's ok is just fine. Richard did a good post on this recently on Free the Animal |
I get bored running on the track, I get more than enough running playing Ultimate! |
Other than short sprints I think running is insane. People justify it because they like it. The runners high is actually the body preparing for severe injury or demise. Blood thickens, the vessels constrict anticipating much bleeding, and endorphins are released anticipating pain. |
I'm just doing little bits of sprinting as i go on my long walks... I'm enjoying the rapid improvement of my capabilities, But have no intention of ever running for more than half an hour. I think that won't take me into the long term damage zone while still evincing my survival heritage of being able to run like hell till out of all danger! Edit: i live in a very hilly area, and make sure that i use different gaits while on different terrains... I'm always interested in how is uses differing sets of muscles. |
Keith at TheoryToPractice has written about the genetic component of physicality... some of us are bred for power and others for endurance. I believe you are a lucky evolved person if you've actually got both who can sprint in a super sprightly fashion as well as perservere and endure for distances despite ascents and terrain... To me that would be the ultimate fisher/hunter or warrior. Anyway we are all unique, no? I think our training programs can be unique too. Personally I like low intensity jogging/biking/swimming in the form half-marathons and mini tri's and the training (coz I'm stuck with the goal-oriented meme!) This really calms my mind and is super restorative and relaxing, esp when I've got my MP3. Is marathon running that bad? Esp if one is cross trained, sleeps and recoveries well? Is not in an inflamed state (pooped out misaligned cortisol, poor muscle recovery, etc)? Eating properly (evo/paleo style with plenty of omega-3, vit D + hormone optimization, etc)? Maybe there are too few! |
I run, but not so much as to cause overuse injuries (shin splints, runner's knee), and it's generally less than 15-20 miles/week. I get bored after 3 or 4 miles. I don't train for a race, I have no intention to be a triathlete right now, and it's a very cathartic experience when I run. I get away from all the stressors, and monotony that comes along with long shift work (14 days on/14 days off). I also use it as part of the constantly varied functional base of exercise I use to stay in shape for the duties of my career in Search and Rescue and the Navy Reserve. I find there is a huge difference in chronic, zombie cardio runs; and just hitting the trail a few times a week. Likewise, what works for me isn't for everyone. running works for me, but swimming, biking, squash or Ultimate work for others. If you feel like you want to improve your distance time, then by all means you are entitled to run more. I wouldn't recommend jumping from two mile runs to a marathon, but there is nothing wrong with running for time. Try running for time at your pace. You may not keep an 8 minute mile pace, but if you jog for 45 minutes at a relaxed pace, you will be fine. |
In preparation for an employment PT test, I began running back in 2006. At my "peak" I was logging 25-30 miles a week and enjoyed the time I sank into the running. I've gotta be honest, I still enjoy a nice long run and the feeling I get when finishing that run. I've never been a real competitive sports person but running is different. I compete against myself and have run countless races, from 5Ks to half marathons. Since mid-2006 I've logged almost 2000 miles (according to the logs I've kept pretty fastidiously on RunningAhead.com). Also worth mentioning is that 95% of my runs now are in VFF's where they used to be in all the fancy-schmancy running shoes that the majority of runners cram their feet into. My goal a couple years back was to work my way up to an Ultra-Marathon and I'm still interested in that but it's not as important a goal anymore. Gearing up for another PT test (and the Warrior Dash at the end of this month), I've started back into a mile or two a couple times a week just to get the running going again. Since going paleo/primal/whole-food/whatever-label-you-want, I've continued working out but the runs aren't quite as long. I'm coming to realize that somewhere between 5-10 miles at a time is about the most I really need/should run on a regular basis. I've never been a speed demon but during my heaviest running years (2006/2007) I averaged an 8-9:00 pace over the course of my runs. The study cited by Dr Harris breaks my heart, but nobody seems to have a definitive answer on how much is really too much. I will continue running recreationally hopefully until I can't any longer, but in the last year or so, I've become "enlightened" when discovering these way of eating and living and realizing that exercise isn't quite as necessary as I once thought it was. I exercise for pleasure now. |

Hello fellow Futurepoly people. I'll be using this thread to post WIP updates of my Japanese Maple Scene a few times a week until it's finished.
This is the main reference I'm basing my environment off of. I'm planning to do a paintover later this weekend or early next week to flesh out some of the ideas I have for it a bit more before I get to deep into modeling everything out.
Here are WIP shots of the assets I've started on rendered in UDK. I was surprised at how quick it was to learn how to import into UDK once you get used to it. It usually takes people about a week to learn how to correctly import a model into Source on the first try.
Tomorrow or Sunday I'm going to learn how to setup Meshpaint on the tree trunk so I can paint the moss onto the tree instead of having to use those crappy low resolution floating alpha shells.
I've been getting more comfortable with UDK and been experimenting with terrain a lot over the past week. I also learned how to set up Mesh Paint so I could paint moss onto the trunk of the tree instead of having to use those floating alpha stickers or mess around with a bunch of UV channels. Here are the latest pictures of the terrain and the tree. I shrunk down the leaves by 30-40% as you suggested Jason and it definitely looks better. I also spent some time today messing around with a rock formation in ZBrush. I'll be using this rock formation in the scene along the edges of those raised up sections of terrain. (PICTURES IN POST BELOW)
Right now it's looking a bit lumpy and smooth. Tomorrow I'm going to sculpt on it a bit more and get it into UDK to see how it looks along the cliffs. I'm also planning to set up a moss mesh paint on it and place some smaller foliage along any semi-flat sections that poke out once it's all positioned. I also replicated this vertex shader so my foliage will sway based off of a WindDirectionalSource actor. You may be thinking "But that won't show up in screenshots!" Currently I'm planning to do a video flythrough of the scene when it's done.
Hey i was eavesdropping in class the other day and i think you figured out how to mesh paint in UDK? would you mind slappin up some screenshots of your material editor so i can see how you did it?
@NickB, here's a picture of the current mesh paint setup for my tree bark. Today or Tomorrow I'm going to look into some more advanced setups. I can post an image of that when it's done if you'd like.
I got the first two rock formations I sculpted decimated and baked. There are a few artifacts here and there but they came out alright.
I also started to place these around my scene. I still need to make some smaller longer ones to put along the lower cliffs.
those are looking great!! The added haze and foilage are really helping. I still think you need to push the color variation in the surrounding trees however. Try and get this range even if it means creating a few different instances of your yellowish orange material.
Hey Kiefen,
First of all I always thought your scene was going great during class. I haven't been back to the forums in a minute and as well had not really posted very much so I decided I should finally. Anyways, for the color it's cool to mess around and see how it looks. But in these latest screens it looks a bit too purple/red and the ground details feel lost. I'm not sure if it is me viewing on my girlfriends macbook, but the earlier shots of the forest floor with the grassy rocks bushes and cast shadows those details show up more. Nice job on your scene man
Didn't get around to doing the green foliage yet but I thought I'd post an update anyway. I messed around with the lighting and atmosphere some more and set up subsurface scattering on the tree leaves.
Here's a shot of the material setup for basic subsurface scattering. If you want to tweak the settings then change the "Subsurface Brightness" or "Clamp -.75 to 1".

During a typical weekday at Community Q BBQ in Decatur, David Roberts and his staff cook about 600 to 700 pounds of meat. That number increases to about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per day on the weekends.
Many times, between dine-sales, carry out and catering, there is nothing left at the end of the day. And sometimes sooner.
Roberts and co-owners Jim Laber and Stuart Baesel have been satisfying area residents' yearning for the sweet and smoky goodness of barbecue at Community Q since November 2009. Roberts, who has about 20 years of experience in the restaurant business, spent six years as a principal owner of the Cobb County barbecue joint Sam & Dave's before selling his share and opening the Decatur eatery. Previous to that, he had experience in fine-dining restaurants.
Roberts cooks his barbecue the same at Community Q as he did at Sam & Dave's, and the sides are more Southern style. That combination has made for a fast start for Community Q.
"We've been real fortunate with that," Roberts said. "A lot is caused by the success we had at the other restaurant. A lot of our customers from Marietta are coming down to say hello and to try it out. And we've had a lot of customers who drove all the way to Marietta from this area and they're happy we're closer."
Roberts buys from local farmers to ensure his meat and produce are as fresh as possible. Two sauces are offered at Community Q – a sweet tomato-based sauce and a Carolina-style vinegar-based sauce.
The portions are generous, with pulled pork sandwiches piled high with the tender smoked meat. The restaurant also offers brisket, chicken and a beef rib that nearly engulfs the entire plate.
A creamy on the bottom, crunchy on the top mac and cheese dish made with rigatoni is one of the more popular sides. Others include cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans made with peppers, brown sugar and bits of brisket.
Community Q offers daily specials "based on what is available from the local farmers," Roberts said.
The restaurant has become so popular so quickly that there is a warning on its Web site stating that they may run out of meat on occasion. Brisket and short ribs are cooked overnight while beef ribs can be cooked in three to four hours.
Those wanting take-out are encouraged to order at least a day ahead of time. Last summer at Sam & Dave's, Roberts said he closed out orders for July Fourth on July 1.
Roberts has been able to gauge the wants of diners with much success, but there have been occasions when the meat does go too fast.
"If we see it dwindle down, we can cook more ribs throughout the day," Robert said. "But that's the purpose of using local products. We're committed to doing fresh products every day. I think that's part of the popularity. You can't have that kind of quality unless you cook it fresh every day."
Roberts ran short recently on the afternoon of Emory University's graduation.
"We had several large tables throughout the day, and there must have been a lot of people in town from Texas because we ran out of brisket by 5 p.m.," Robert said.
If Roberts runs short of one cut of meat, he has found that his customers usually satisfy themselves with something else.
"It's really easier to prepare than for a fine dining restaurant," Roberts said. "Most of the cooking is done overnight. There was one instance where the meat didn't cook overnight – last week it happened. We still had a really good day and our customers really enjoyed the sausage, ribs and chicken. People are very understanding because they know they're getting it fresh."
Community Q BBQ is at 1361 Clairmont Road in Decatur. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Visit www.communityqbbq.com for more information and a complete menu, or call (404) 633-2080.

NFL looking into Pats QB Tom Brady's leg-up slide
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is looking into Tom Brady's leg-up slide that hit Ravens safety Ed Reed in the AFC championship game.
League spokesman Greg Aiello says "any play of that nature is routinely reviewed."
Brady could be subject to a fine if the league believes he violated any player safety rules.
During the final minute of the first half, Brady slid to the ground to end of an impromptu run. The quarterback's upraised leg hit the onrushing Reed, who temporarily limped away. But Reed was not injured.
Ravens safety Bernard Pollard has said Brady should be disciplined by the NFL, which levies fines on defensive players for helmet-to-helmet hits.

Hello everybody! Thanks for watching and reading this in advance.
As usual the winter season is upon, which is the only 4-5 month period of the year that I get to shoot really beautiful exotic cars.
My deviantart account is not as updated as my facebook and flickr account when it comes to my Photography and work, mostly because I have more people/contacts on flickr than I do here. Nevertheless I would like to make sure that everyone here knows my other social networking places.
Hopefully I will get to shoot some really awesome cars this year as well and maybe...just maybe some few surprises along the way

Salinas City Councilman Jose Castaneda is taking the public's concerns over his holding two public offices to a new level.
He filed a criminal complaint against KSBW Reporter Tom Miller, who has tried to interview him several times since he was sworn in as a City Council member in December.
Castaneda -- who also holds a seat on the Alisal Union School District Board of Trustees for a school district located in the City of Salinas -- declined all interview requests from Miller.
And according to a Salinas police report, Castaneda believes the 23-year-old reporter is a criminal.
Castaneda contacted the Salinas Police Department on Feb. 6 to accuse Miller of violating Penal Code 647c -- blocking someone's path on a public sidewalk -- nearly two months after the encounter took place. On Dec. 18, Castaneda was leaving a City Council meeting when Miller attempted a "walk and talk"-style interview on a Lincoln Avenue sidewalk.
VIDEO: You can watch the incident here
Holding up a microphone with his cameraman following behind, Miller asked Castaneda if he planned to step down from the Alisal Union School District board because holding two positions within the same city likely violated California's conflict of interest laws.
Castaneda walked past Miller and said, "We'll talk later."
After Castaneda called the Salinas Police Department, an investigating officer went to KSBW.com and watched a video of the incident headlined, "New Salinas City Councilman dodges KSBW reporter."
"Miller asked Castaneda a question while they were walking but was not blocking Castaneda's access to the sidewalk," the officer wrote in his police report based on the video. "I was unable to observe a time when Miller blocked Castaneda's free, unobstructed access."

text: The presence of one group at the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests might be surprising: the Distributist Review has produced this flyer for distribution at the protests. They don't seem to have asked themselves whether G.K. Chesterton and Hillaire Belloc would have gone down to protest with the unwashed masses (the answer, of course, is never in a million years) but contemporary "neodistributists" are a more inclusive set. They go far beyond the metaphysical and aesthetic principles of Chesterton and Belloc's economics. Since that flyer's a little hard to read, we've put together a list to help you identify your inner distributist: herewith, Ten Signs You May Be a Distributist:

One-month-old baby girl Khushi, which means "happiness" in Hindi, would not have been alive had her mother, Sumanjeet, given in to pressure from some relatives and neighbors.
"They would cry and yell, 'What are you doing giving birth to a girl? Push her off the roof of the building, kill her! Why are you keeping her?'" the 25-year-old mother says.
Sumanjeet says people kept telling her to get an ultrasound check and abort all four of her daughters. They told her she wouldn't have enough money for a suitable dowry. Although Sumanjeet wasn't quite sure how she was going to raise them, she knew it was a crime to get rid of them.
"Why are they killing girls, while they're still in the womb? It's a sin for which they'll have to be answerable to God. Small, cute girls like a doll. They kill her in the womb? It's a sin," Sumanjeet weeps.
The brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi and the wave of outrage that followed brought to light the daily suffering of many Indian women. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest not just rape but the discrimination many women in India often have to live with throughout their lives.
A Thomson Reuters Foundation expert poll last year ranked India as the world's fourth most dangerous country for a woman, behind only Afghanistan, Congo and Pakistan.
Even though the practice is outlawed, 300,000 to 600,000 female fetuses are aborted every year in India because of the preference for boys, according to a 2011 study by The Lancet. And the discrimination that begins while in the womb continues throughout a girl's life.
Women's rights activist and Supreme Court lawyer Kirti Singh says there is a marked difference between how many parents treat their daughters and their sons. She says girls aren't given the same kind of food, they're not educated in the same manner, and they're only raised to become someone's wife.
"From the time they are born -- or not born -- and continuing till late in life when they become wives or mothers, it's a vicious cycle . of discrimination, and violence keeps on continuing."
Sumanjeet says she sees it all the time. "They send boys to good schools, they give them good food, nice clothes to wear. They treat them well. They say, 'Oh, it's my son.' To the daughter they say, 'Get the cow dung, sweep the floors. What will you do with an education?'"

Our friends and collaborators over at DxOMark have recently been looking into how lenses score on specific cameras, and the latest model they've examined is the Nikon D600. In a three-part article published at the end of last week, they investigate how 70 lenses from Carl Zeiss, Nikon, Samyang, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina measure up on the D600's 24MP sensor. The article also compares how given lenses score on the D600 compared to the 36MP D800 and 24MP D3X. Click through for links to the three parts of the article.
Just posted: Our review of the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. In our latest lens review produced in collaboration with DxOMark, we look at Tamron's fast standard zoom for full frame cameras - the first in its class to include optical stabilisation. With its Ultrasonic Drive focus motor and drip-proof construction, it looks like a very tempting option for full frame shooters, especially as it costs rather less than its counterparts from Canon, Nikon or Sony. But is this all too good to be true? Click through to read our review and find out.
We've been fans of Aaron Johnson's comic strip 'What the Duck' for years.

Worcester boss Richard Hill was full of praise for his team after their 12-3 Premiership victory over Saracens at Sixways on Friday.
In a match played in poor conditions, due to rain, Warriors fly-half Andy Goode scored all his side's points via three penalties and a drop goal but Hill hailed his entire side for the result which takes them clear of the relegation zone.
"What a performance," he said.
"We were full of intensity, commitment and passion for the whole of the 80 minutes.
"We have been feeling a bit of pressure as we felt as a club that we had gone into our shell over the last three weeks but from the kick-off tonight we were terrific.
"We should have won the game by a lot more than 12-3.
"We are getting into the opposition 22 but failing to finish off the good approach work. It makes a big difference if you get one try as it pushes you away from the opposition."
Worcester's young centre Joe Carlisle left the field with an ankle injury during the firt half but Hill is hopeful it is not too serious.
Saracens boss Mark McCall said although the match was not an entertaining spectacle his side made too many mistakes which cost them the win.
"It was a dreadful game of rugby, I feel sorry for anybody who had to watch that," he said.
"It was a very, very wet pitch but that's no real excuse, there was no flow to the game and it was very depressing.
"We made a lot of unforced errors and were regularly penalised in the scrum area that cost us field positions. When they got into our territory, they kicked their penalties which we didn't."

Location: Plant, Soil and Nutrition Research
Technical Abstract: Aluminum (Al) is phytotoxic when solubilized into Al3+ in acidic soils and represents a major constraint for crop production. The present study describes Al-stress responses in roots of Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive Arabidopsis ecotypes, Columbia-0 (Col-0) and Landsberg erecta (Ler). Comparative proteomic analysis was applied to plants grown in hydroponic culture under acidic pH (4.2) conditions. To investigate time-dependent responses, 6-day-old seedlings were exposed to 50 uM AlCl3 for 24, 48 or 72 hr; total proteins were prepared from roots and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). From 2-DE analysis, where 600 proteins were inspected, 29 proteins were differentially responsive to Al-treatment. The 2-DE patterns were compared and differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Most of the identified proteins are functionally associated with the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and glycolysis, reactive oxygen quenching and detoxification, and signal transduction pathways in the Arabidopsis ecotypes. The results also showed that proteins involved in plant defense mechanisms were up regulated in response to Al stress, which highlights crosstalk between abiotic and biotic stress responses. We observed that proteins related to energy metabolism and reactive oxygen detoxification were up-regulated more in Al tolerant Col-0 than Al sensitive Ler under Al-stress. The identified acquired protein signature for Al toxicity in Arabidopsis ecotypes will be useful for the isolation of tolerance genes for Al-toxicity and description the physiology for Al tolerance at the cellular level.

i find this extremely interesting
Michigan vs. Wisconsin Basketball Open Thread
At work will be watching on my phone via espn3 (stupid work blocking illegal streams). Go Blue!
If you have ESPN3 access on your phone, why can't you watch it on your computer? It's not an illegal stream!
Want a winged helmet hat? See this post: Link
Doesn't carry ESPN 3 and it appears that Front Row Sports for the first time in history is not carrying the game.
Anyone have a link to the stream?
Hopefully their student section is still asleep.
Just set a fake laughing record, demolishing the prior one held by the CBS nfl guys
Go Blue! Beautiful, sunny winter day in Michigan.
Timmy, Stauskas, Robinson III raining 3's on this hideous pack of badger/gingers
And apparently ESPN3 is blacked out in my area....damn you ESPN!
I'm an old fart. I've been up for over six hours. The damn game is going to cut into my Saturday afternoon nap.
Can people stop saying that Trey is 'arguably' the best point guard in the country yet?
need a link, firstrow's is not working.

Anybody have a link to this game besides firstrow and watchespn?
That Brusewitz guy has driven me crazy the entire time he's played there
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"
More cutting to the basket without the ball. More Trey Burke iso drives. More exploitation of their slowness.

Horford sucks. Undersized, bad hands, can't pass when he's double teamed. rather have a hurt morgan.

No you wouldn't. He was trash playing hurt against Ohio

Wisky's team is so damn whiny
There are no corners in space.
We need to push the pace in this game and not played to their slow as shit tempo.
"They will meet a dastardly fate here for that! There isn't a Michigan Man who wouldn't like go out and scalp those Buckeyes right now."
This game is too early for horford. Struggling mightily.
Those Who Stay Will Be CHAMPIONS
good start so far. hopefully horford and mcgary can find a way to draw some help down low
Horford hasn't finished well at the bucket these last few games, whether it be on an offensive put back or a play that's actually run through him.
Blank.....Blank......You're not looking at the big picture here.
Are so weak at finishing it's sad
Pennsylvania is the California of the East
This game is uglier than Bruesewitz.
If I tell you it's Easter, you better start looking for eggs.
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade.
Injured Morgan OR mcgary >>> horford. Also we have no inside offensive game.
How does Wisconsin win as much as they do? I guess I know enough about basketball to recognize how bad their offense is and too little to recognize how good their defense is? But they look sooo bad.
"I just hope Tressel doesn't fire me"
-Gordon Gee
Wisconsin sure does know how to take all the fun out of watching basketball

Point Pleasant Boro residents and school alumni are mourning the death of Raymond Greuter, the long-time music teacher in Memorial Middle School.
Greuter, who was 64 when he died Thursday, was known for his modern and eclectic musical tastes - as well as his easy-going manner - as he became a Point Boro school district mainstay for 38 years.
Dan Carver, director of the Memorial Middle School band, dedicated a song to Greuter during the school's band concert on Thursday night.
"All of us in the Point Pleasant Borough School District, especially Memorial Middle School, were deeply saddened by the news of Ray Greuter's passing. He was well liked and respected by all those who knew him, and we have been profoundly touched by this tragedy," the district said in a statment.
Greuter, who was hired in 1970 and retired in 2008, was known for his love of Supertramp - particularly "The Logical Song," which he had students sing to, and practically memorize, during his classes inside the school's band room.
While other teachers would have kids listen to Beethoven, or have them square dance to country music, Greuter would play "Call Me" from Blondie, "Running On Empty" from Jackson Browne or even a little Devo for his grateful students.
"Ray always strived for excellence for himself and for his students. He was always excited about exploring new instructional methods related to music and the students," the district said.
He was known for engaging students who otherwise didn't want to be engaged. If they were wearing a concert shirt, he likely knew the band - and maybe even went to the show.
"Hey, I like the Dead," he once said to a student wearing a Grateful Dead shirt. The two then hit it off, spending a little bit of time at the beginning of each class period talking about the Grateful Dead.
"We can take some solace in the good and lasting work that Ray did in his too-brief lifetime. The results of his outstanding teaching and his beneficial influence on students will live on," the district said.
"His students, in a very real sense, are monuments to Ray's life and dreams. If ever there was a life fully lived, one filled with lasting achievement, it was Raymond's."
There are no known plans for a funeral, according to school officials. His last residence was believed to be Brick.

I have some other pictures of him, but they were too small. This one seemed to capture his spirit - I believe it was from Halloween, 1979. But, please, feel free to contribute. I'd love to to see a picture of him teaching in the band room, putting an LP on the turntable.

Ray Greuter was an integral part of out family Christmas Party for over 20 years. We met Ray at the Oyster Point Hotel playing piano and asked if he would play for our party.. This year our family struggled through the devestation that Sandy left and we knew our community and close friends needed some upliftling so we still had the party donating toys brought by our guest to the Madonna House... Ray played like he did for the last 20 years..HE WAS THE MAIN EVENT! Each year we waited for Ray to arrive!. He made every child and adult smile through every sing - a -long Christmas Carol .. ending as usual with the "12 days of Christmas'.. Ray you were the HIGHLIGHT of our Christmas! You were a family friend... Rest in peace Raymond.. I know you will be playing for the angels in heaven ! We will miss you terribly...

Even though it has been almost 40 years since my time in Ray Greuter's music class, my memory of it is like yesterday. He was a kind man and a great teacher. And no remembrance of Ray would be complete without a nod to his nickname (at least in the mid '70's)..."Groovy Greuter"...simply the funkiest wardrobe of any teacher in the Boro! Ray, you will be missed...

Ray was a friend in and out of school. We were so sorry to hear of his passing. Joe taught with him, and remembers always calling him "Groovy Greuter" as well. We remember early on going to a bar in Lakewood with Ray and a few other friends to see Glesby Mason perform as "Miss Vicky". What a great time! We'll miss you Ray!

Still brings me back to 7th grade anytime I hear the first few bars of Supertramp. But more memorable was the fact he was the only person in PP who had a bootleg of Bruce's "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town." That was a highlight of the Christmas season as a music crazed teenager.

Ray was my Mentor Music teacher in School and my Piano/Organ teacher as well as vocal teacher out of School. He was my Life coach, I could write pages of the things ray did to help me through my years between Memorial and the High school! Ray Greuter IS a once in lifetime experience. It will take quite some time to get used to the idea that he is but a phone call away. I hope that some of Ray had rubbed off on me over the years, I am a better man for it! Ray, I will miss your Humor, Your guidance and that way of making me see that as dark as things may look, the next day is always better! Now- It will be a little less so. I can only hope that you hear me playing my piano and see that I am who you hoped I could be! rest in Peace my dear Friend and Mentor! I hope to see you at the "Next gig"
As I would always say to him as he would leave from our Voice and Lessons- "Later Groots!"
