Republican Jean Stothert vows to use her own wheels.
The Omaha mayoral candidate promised Wednesday to give up the mayor's use of a city-leased vehicle and to cut her salary and the Mayor's Office budget by 10 percent each. However, she was iffy on whether she'll give up the mayor's security detail, which has driven around Omaha's top bosses for more than three decades.
"She's saying, 'I'll just use my own car and I'll pay for the gasoline,'" said Daniel Keylin, Stothert's spokesman.
Democratic Mayor Jim Suttle's camp quickly labeled Stothert's first-day promises as "campaign rhetoric" that amounted to little in the way of overall savings.
"These aren't the savings that would be required to keep all of her campaign promises (to roll back taxes). They're not even close," said Gary DiSilvestro, Suttle's chief campaign consultant.
Suttle and Stothert are in the final two-week stretch of this spring's mayoral election. On May 14, voters will decide whether to give Suttle a second term, or hand the reins of City Hall over to Stothert, a one-term city councilwoman.
Stothert described her promise to cut her own mayoral budget if elected as an attempt to lead by "example." But it was also a clear attempt to poke Suttle, who was roundly criticized during his first days in office in 2009 for leasing a new Dodge Durango at an interest rate of 24 percent.
At the time, Suttle was criticized for sending mixed messages: on one hand calling for government austerity, while forgoing the use of his predecessors leased-vehicle and entering into an expensive lease deal for a new SUV hybrid.
In the wake of the controversy, the car dealership negotiated new terms with Suttle, and the city now pays $1 a year to lease the vehicle, said DiSilvestro.
Suttle is not the only mayor who has used a city-owned vehicle. In fact, since the mid-1970s, the city has furnished mayors with a car and driver. The driver is also a member of the mayor's security detail, said Buster Brown, the city clerk.

"The logic of it is that he's planning stuff, he's on the phone, going some place and he or she wants to be focused on the speech they're going to give, and not concentrate on driving," said Brown.
Although Stothert said she would give up the city-leased vehicle, she may still have a city-paid driver.
Keylin said Stothert would like to give up the security detail, but she may be forced to keep it for security reasons. "I'm sure it will be very difficult for her to get rid of it," said Keylin. "I think the police chief might not recommend that."
Stothert's pledge to return part of her salary isn't a first either. Other mayors have done it, including Suttle. For the first two years he was in office, Suttle returned a mayoral salary hike that was approved before he was elected.
Stothert also promised to cut the mayoral office budget by 10 percent by freezing salaries and reducing "unnecessary and wasteful administrative spending." The budget is about $1.1�million. Stothert's promise would save the city about $116,000.
DiSilvestro said the savings would do little to offset Stothert's promise to make it her goal to roll back three tax hikes approved by Suttle, who has argued they were needed to save the city from bankruptcy. He also said it was a far cry from the cuts proposed and implemented by Suttle over the past four years, including $800,000 in cuts to the city's Fire Department.
"This effort today — repeating things she has said before — does not make up for her lack of a plan to make her campaign pledges and the budget balance," said DiSilvestro.

Product Description
Will Saudi Arabia join the democratic wave in the Middle East? The uprisings and revolutions of 2011 do not, yet, seem to have affected the stability of the House of Saud, which remains secretive, highly repressive and propped up by the West.
The Islamic Utopia uses a range of sources including first-hand reporting and recently released WikiLeaks documents to examine Saudi Arabia in the decade after the 9/11 attacks, when King Abdullah's 'reform' agenda took centre stage in public debate. It considers Saudi claims of 'exemption' from the democratic demands of the Arab Spring.
Andrew Hammond argues that for too long Western media and governments have accepted Saudi leaders' claims to be a buttress against jihadist Islam and that a new policy is needed towards the House of Saud.
About The Author
Andrew Hammond is a senior correspondent for a global news agency, currently based in Dubai. He is the author of What The Arabs Think of America (2008) and Popular Culture in the Arab World (2007), and was the agency bureau chief in Saudi Arabia for several years.

Day 1
Start at the designated hotel in Chamonix, France. In the evening there is an introductory briefing by your leader.
Day 2
From Chamonix we walk to Les Praz and take the téléférique to La Flégère (1,900 m). The trail today is named the 'Grand Balcon' and is on the opposite side of the valley from Mont Blanc, affording excellent views of the whole massif lying to our south. Initially we contour and then climb to reach the high point of the day, Lac Blanc (2,352m). The trail descends from the lake then contours high above the valley before dropping steeply to the Col Montets (1461m). There will be a very short section of ladders/steep steps with handrails on the descent. Return to Chamonix by bus.
Day 3
We travel back to the Col Montets to begin our ascent to the Aiguillette de Posettes (2201m), descend to the Col des Posettes, and then ascend a little to the Col de Balme (2,191m) where we walk across the border from France to Switzerland. Excellent views all morning of Aiguille d'Argentiere and the Aiguille du Tour and its glacier. After lunch we descend to the small hamlet of Trient (1,296m) with good views of the Trient Glacier. Ascend from Trient to our hotel on the Col Forclaz (1,526m).
Day 4
We leave the Col Forclaz from where we can look directly down into the Rhône valley and the Swiss town of Martigny and follow the 'Bovine route' (2,049m) through high alpine pastures to the charming town of Champex (1,468m) set beside a picturesque alpine lake.
Day 5
Now on the east side of the main Mont Blanc Massif we walk south, descending through woods to the Val Ferret and on to Issert (1,055m) and other small, pretty, alpine farming villages. This is quite a good day for flowers, including orchids. We continue up the valley to La Fouly (1,593m). This is at the foot of Mt. Dolent, whose summit is at the meeting point of France, Switzerland and Italy.
Day 6
Still following the same valley and the river 'La Drance', we climb to the 'Grand Col Ferret' (2,536m), the highest pass of the tour. Now in Italy, the valley is also called 'Val Ferret'. The mountain views from the Col are stunning with Grandes Jorasses dominating the scene. We walk down the valley to Arp Nouva (1,770m) then travel by bus to our hotel near La Palud near Courmayeur.
Day 7
A static day. The nearby town of Courmayeur has picturesque older sections, which are worth a visit, especially for the keen photographer. There is a téléférique from Entrèves to Point Helbronner (3,461m) and on across the glacier to Aiguille du Midi (and in fact on down to Chamonix). This is a splendid (optional) excursion, which gives close-up views of all the big peaks.
Day 8
From the hotel we cross the river and climb to a mid level contouring path which we follow around the mountain. We then climb steeply to Mont de la Saxe (2,346m). The views are excellent, especially Mont Blanc and the towering rocky peak 'Grandes Jorasses' and the glaciers, which crowd the northern flank of the Val Ferret. Look for reflections of the mountains in small ponds along the ridge. We make a longish, sometimes steep descent from Mont de la Saxe, via an old mule track, to Entrèves.
Day 9
We travel by bus to La Vissaille (1660m) then climb gently along the Val Veny beneath the massive glacier de Miage and pass Lac Combal before the gradient becomes steeper as we follow the old Roman road and head for today's pass: the 'Col de la Seigne' (2,516m) which marks our re-entry into France. A fairly steep descent brings us through la Ville des Glaciers (1,789 m) and finally after quite a long walking day to Les Chapieux (1,553m), a small hamlet inhabited only during the summer months.
Day 10
We have now reached the southwest corner of the circuit and turn north to climb once again. First we ascend to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme (2,478m), then contour across to the Col du Bonhomme (2,328m) and then descend again on a Roman road into the Val Montjoie and the town of Les Contamines (1,175m). Our hotel is located in the scenic spa town of St Gervais, 10 minutes further down the valley.
Day 11
A well-earned rest day. There are many options to fill your day including taking the cog railway to The Nid d'aigle, a popular start point to climb Mont Blanc, or browsing around the local market of Les Contamines. There are short and long optional walks in the area or one can simply relax around the pleasant town of St Gervais or perhaps treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa.
Day 12
From St Gervais we have a 10 min transfer to re-join the route before ascending to the Chalets de Miage (1,560m). From here we take a trail that climbs steeply to the Col de Tricot (2,119m) before descending very close to the snout of the Glacier de Bionnassay. Good views of the north of Mont Blanc Massif. Eventually we make another ascent to reach the Col de Voza (1652m) where we re-enter the Chamonix Valley, and then descend to the village of Les Houches (993m).
Day 13
We cross to the north side of the Chamonix Valley and climb through pine forest to reach the high point of the day at Brevent (2,525m). This is a long walking day but will probably afford the best views of the French side of Mont Blanc and its neighbours that we shall have on the whole trek. We descend to Plan Praz and take the cable car to Chamonix (1,061m) for a well-deserved beer.
Day 14
Free day in and around Chamonix. There are several good walks around Chamonix, and also spectacular (optional) excursions by téléférique or mountain railway. Other optional activities include tandem paragliding, canyoning and mountain biking.
Day 15
End in Chamonix.

Laws Can't Save Banks From DDoS Attacks
A threat information-sharing bill wouldn't do much to help banks defend themselves against distributed denial-of-services (DDoS) attacks
The co-author of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) ought to know better.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who is also chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told NBC News on Wednesday that the Operation Ababil bank disruption campaign run by al-Qassam Cyber Fighters could be stopped, if only private businesses had unfettered access to top-flight U.S. government threat intelligence. Currently the federal government is "trying to share cyber threat information with these banks to help them get ahead of these attacks," Rogers said. "Unfortunately, a series of policy and legal barriers is impeding that cooperation, as well as slowing down cooperation within the private sector and making it less effective."

The problem with that reasoning is that the bank disruptions -- often publicized in advance by attackers -- overwhelm targeted networks through sheer quantities of packets. They don't employ attacks of a stealthy or unknown nature that banks might have difficulty spotting if only they had access to better attack data.

No issues running Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit edition under VMware 2.0
K52jr-x4 (i5-430 2.26-2.53GHz, 320GB@5400rpm, 4GB memory) With Lucid Lynx 10.04, just about everything works out of the box. Have yet to test BlueRay. Problem with upside down webcam image still a mystery. No BT, but bt dongle works perfectly. Still searching for software to stop the touchpad from working while typing. According to turbostat, Intel's Turbo Boost monitor for Linux, TB is properly scaling to 2.53 GHz on both cores. The ATI drivers are working fine at full native res with full 3D, but have not carefully compared performance with Windows. Aside from the mediocre screen (it's shiny and has middling contrast) it's a solid Linux machine. The i5 makes Tux fly. Worth the money. firstname.lastname@example.com 10.05.29
Commenter Elena said the Ethernet doesn't work, and I remembered that I haven't tested that yet. It's brokeded until further notice. Hoping newer kernel will fix the problem. email@example.com

Hey guys

Hi, xubuntu 10.10, ASUS K52JR-SX198
everything works out of the box with some exceptions:
camera upside down (still did not find out how to make it work normally )
bluetooth not tested.
I have installed LinuxMint 9 KDE (but had also Gnome version), and it works perfectly. Had a problem with web camera (upside-down), but got solution in ubuntu forum. eth0 and wlan0 work fine (had a small problem with wlan0 in KDE but it is because of KNetworkManager). LinuxMint has a program Hardware device which install propietary drivers and with it I got ATI drivers with 3D funcionality.
An other partition have sidux. In sidux have a small problem with ATI driver. after minimize and maximize windows there is dark border and when I pass with cursor I got the buttons visible.
Didn't have any problem with network drivers eth0 (JMicron JMC250) or wlan0 (Atheros AR9285). In sidux use program Ceni to set up network.
Also have the problem when plug in headphones have a sound from speakers.
Hi, I have an Asus K52JR and I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

Exclusive: Soros' son strikes out on his own
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The upheaval within billionaire investor George Soros' firm continues as one of his sons is separating some of his personal fortune to manage it himself.
Jonathan Soros, who stepped down in September from day-to-day management of Soros Fund Management LLC, plans to hire at least one of his father's key employees, say two people familiar with the situation.
The two sources said Soros' son intends to set up his own family office - something the Soros Fund converted to last year - with the help of David Kulsar, currently chief risk officer for the Soros Fund.
"Jonathan wants to manage some of his own money so the (Soros Fund) family office has made that accommodation for him," said a source familiar with the situation but who was not authorized to discuss the matter.
Jonathan Soros, who was a law clerk for a federal judge before joining with his brother Robert in 2002 to oversee the management of Soros Fund, did not return calls or emails seeking comment. He currently is a senior fellow with the Roosevelt Institute, a liberal think tank group in New York.
Kulsar, who also did not return a phone call seeking comment, worked in risk management for John Meriweather's JWM Partners before joining the Soros Fund. Meriweather founded Long-Term Capital Management, the hedge fund whose collapse in 1999 sparked fears of a financial crisis.
There's no indication of a family feud between father and son - Jonathan Soros continues as chairman of his father's foundation. But the move comes after a year of a big changes and significant losses at the $25 billion firm founded by the elder Soros, a wealthy liberal philanthropist who rose to investing fame on his big bet against the British pound.
These developments are part of an ongoing series of structural changes as the Soros fund evolves as a family office, one of the sources familiar with the matter said.
Last summer, the Soros Fund announced it was returning some $1 billion to investors and would cease to operate as a hedge fund and would convert to a family office. The switch enabled the Soros Fund to avoid the March 30 deadline for registering as an investment manager with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The firm now mainly manages money for the elder Soros, family and his foundation. George Soros has five children.
The changes continued in September with Scott Bessent, a former Soros disciple, returning to the firm to become chief investment officer and taking over the daily management of the firm from Soros' sons Jonathan and Robert.
Behind the scenes, it also was a rough year for the firm's main investment portfolio, the Quantum Fund. The fund declined about 15 percent last year, say two people familiar with the firm's performance who did not want to be identified because they don't speak for the firm.
The poor performance came in a year when the average hedge fund declined about 5 percent in 2011.
The Quantum Fund also took a big write-down on a $200 million investment it has with Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital Management hedge fund, something Reuters previously has reported. Harbinger fell about 47 percent as Falcone's big bet on building a wireless network called LightSquared appears to be faltering.
The Soros firm ended a rough year by laying off a handful of analysts and portfolio managers. In December, a Soros spokesman called the layoffs part of the normal course of business at the firm.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello, My name is Johonna, and I may be the right person to help you succeed! I recently graduated from Southern Utah University with a B.S. in Biology, a B.I.S. in Agriculture Science and a minor in Chemistry. During my time at SUU I was a mentor/tutor for a program called SANS. Working with this program I gained experience tutoring in a variety of different subjects, learning about what approaches to learning work for different people, and understanding the difficulties that a lot of students face. I also spent multiple semesters being a grader for Chemistry classes where I learned what type of answers teachers are looking for and how to locate the root of students' problems. I really enjoy using multiple different methods when tutoring. This might include diagrams on a whiteboard, oral questions to ensure understanding and, when applicable, using bodily kinesthetics to help visualize a concept. I have used all these methods previously and have enjoyed seeing which methods work for different students. My time at college, both as a student and a tutor, has given me a foundation of knowledge in specific areas as well as methods to be a successful student. Look forward to hearing from you!

Algebra is the beginnings of unknowns! It includes figuring out how to distribute, simplify and solve problems with unknown variables.
Biology is the study of life. In fact, when learning about biology you can directly see real life applications. However, for most students the difficulty is tying all the information together. By helping to put the pieces of the puzzle together I am confident that it will increase your enjoyment (or at least appreciation) for the biological sciences.
I often tell people who are taking chemistry that it is like rolling together a math, science, and foreign language class. It's tough! The biggest problem I have seen is students not taking the time to understand the fundamentals. Once the fundamentals are understood then chemistry can be very straight forward.
I can't stress enough how important pre-algebra is. It sets the stage for all the future math you will be doing. Don't let you/your child get behind in this class! It has the potential to make math a positive experience if learned right!
My time as a university student as well as my time being a tutor/academic mentor has given me insight into what study techniques work for different people. I often find that when tutoring the main issue is that the student doesn't know the most efficient and effective way to study. Every person is different. Usually, the first time meeting with a student I would run through a variety of techniques to see what works.
During my high school years I was in a Business Academy (CIBACS) where emphasis was put on professional business presentations. In addition I have presented multiple times during my college career. This has included presenting undergraduate research, business proposals, and research papers.
I completed a two semester series of organic chemistry. I performed in the 87th percentile on the American Chemical Society National exam for University Level Organic Chemistry students. I have knowledge in nomenclature, reactions and synthesis.

Happy 4th of July! Be safe and enjoy the holiday. Here some BBQ'ed random thoughts of our Las Vegas trip.
Wife Jan and I have had a great few days in Vegas highlighted by seeing old friends and enjoying the phenomenal UFC PPV Saturday night.
The total UFC experience was awesome. UFC officials were so gracious and hospitable to us. A total class organization. Our seats...front row for me...2nd row for Jan right behind me were unreal.
Enjoyed sitting w/ Steve Austin and Bill Goldberg during the fights. We were doing our own running commentary. Probably not as good as Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan's but we enjoyed it.
Dwayne Johnson sat near my OU Sooner pal and #1 NFL Draft pick QB Sam Bradford. They had better seats that Kiss front man Gene Simmons.
Great to get a big hug from a sweaty and exhilarated Brock Lesnar at ringside moments after his amazing victory over another beast, Shane Carwin.
Brock's face was a mess after the 1st round pounding from Carwin where Brock displayed amazing toughness and grit to last the first 5 minutes.
Brock's motivation to not only survive but to win the fight was motivating and his choke out win over one of the baddest men on the planet was a lifetime memory.
I had long overdue and emotional visit w/ Brock in his locker room where he greeted me w/ open arms...literally. I'll never forget that moment.
Steve Austin and Rock had a meaningful visit in Brock's locker room and talked old times, their last match in Seattle at Wrestlemania including Dwayne watching a Stone Cold DVD recently where he enjoyed going back in the day.
Both WWE greats have new films to begin soon...Steve in Vancouver and Rock in Puerto Rico.
Both are still 'students of the game' of wrestling which was cool to discuss w/ them. They both had 'it' and never played a role in the squared circle yet attained success by being enhanced versions of themselves. Organic passion and instincts lead them to unparalleled success.
Lesnar's 'will' to survive was emotional and loaded w/ passion. An amazing performance that I feel no other man on earth could have endured.
Bill Goldberg joined us and he is quite the MMA aficionado. Bill was in great spirits and was Brock's last WWE opponent for the record.
Paul Heyman, who is writing Brock's autobiography w/ the Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion, was euphoric and rightfully so. Paul and Brock have become best friends. It was good to catch up w/ Paul and the subject of pro wrestling never came up once.
The UFC event was like attending a rock concert with so many enthusiastic, young males w/ 'attitude' in attendance. UFC honchos told me they had over a 4M live gate and expected the PPV to garner over 1 million buys. That's a lot of BBQ folks.
So tonite we will enjoy the Las Vegas fireworks displays and we have a significant dinner lined up w/ friends and associates. It's going to be the fitting end to a super weekend.
I can't wait to watch the event on TV when we get back to Oklahoma. The intensity of the athletes and the fans was amazing with being there live and it will be interesting to see how all that translates on TV.
Be safe and enjoy your holiday. Thanks for stopping by and especially to those that are placing orders.
Boomer Sooner!

Saw you on the UFC broadcast and you look extremely fit, healthy and happy. Brilliant performance from Brock! Would have loved to hear your commentary alongside Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan! THAT would have been awesome!
Submitted by allhailbc on Sun, 07/04/2010 - 6:01pm Permalink
I watched the ppv & loved it! I felt it was amzing to see Brock win the way he did. The moment after the fight where he embraced all you guys was awesome. It is so cool seeing the "WWE" group there supporting him & having the best seats in house. Its good to see how even though there professional wrestling careers are over, but the friendships made last a lifetime. Very Good Stuff. You looked like you were having a blast on tv.
Take Care

I bet your commentary on this match would have been great to hear. Really cool to see you and the WWE alumni on TV. Glad you had a good time. I don't see anyone beating Lesnar in the foreseeable future.
Submitted by SteveA21 on Sun, 07/04/2010 - 8:00pm Permalink
Glad you enjoyed it all so much, JR - It was heart-pounding excitement and tons of emotion watching it on TV - in the front row live, I can't even imagine what you were all feeling.
I'm thrilled that Brock has embraced his wrestling past to the degree that he could be so cool with you all - and it says a lot about the maturity of the UFC that they're not afraid of those associations.
Submitted by POE1809 on Sun, 07/04/2010 - 8:20pm Permalink
I was one of the guys on the fence in this, but leaning quite a bit to the Carwin side. I mean, after all the time off and the illness, not to mention his career still being in its infancy, how could Brock possibly come back and win this fight? And then that first round, I thought I was going to be right on.
To say Lesnar made a believer out of me and any number of people would be a tremendous understatement.
Submitted by ihave19voices on Mon, 07/05/2010 - 9:37am Permalink
Caught your brief interview w/ Fanhouse and you looked and sounded great JR. It's a travesty in my opinion that the Madden or Cosell of pro wrestling is not calling his sport anymore and is still perfectly capable. Really miss your commentary on Monday/Friday nights.
Brock was amazing and its always cool to see the wrestling fraternity out there to support him.
Thanks for your blogs and for your insight. Hope to hear you calling another "slobberknocker" someday soon!
Submitted by daves on Mon, 07/05/2010 - 9:56am Permalink
It's true that Brock Lesnar was pretty impressive Saturday night. I truly believe he'll become a true solid hand for UFC. However despite the impression he made Saturday night, you can't compare his performance to that of the current hotdog eating champion of the world Joey Chesnut. If I were Brock, I'd stay out of Joey's way. Finally even though an announcement has not been formally made yet, Let me be the first to welcome King James to the mecca of basketball, New York City.

So during the PPV broadcast of the chris lytle fight joe rogan used the term 'barn burner' to describe the upcoming match...wonder if JR thinks rogan is ripping on his style.
Submitted by Mr.Jones on Mon, 07/05/2010 - 8:02pm Permalink
Hey J.R
Sure was an awsome PPV.What really topped it off for me was to see the support Brock got from his former co-workers.All my favorite stars of my generation was there made it feel extra special.I had to laugh when Brock procalimed himself a tough S.O.B with Austin looking on.He sure proved it last night.Was good to see you on T.V. can't wait to hear some more inside stories from your weekend.

From Paris to Vienna, Natalie Dessay has performed Mozart (The Queen of Night in Die Zauberflöte, Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail) and Richard Strauss (Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier, Aminta in Die schweigsame Frau); but she made her debut with French repertoire, singing Olympia in Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann at the Opéra national de Paris and the title role in Delibes's Lakmé at the Opéra Comique.

Philippe Cassard has established an international reputation as concerto soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician since giving a joint recital with Christa Ludwig in Paris in 1985. The same year, he was finalist at the Concours Clara Haskil, and in 1988, he won first prize at the Dublin International Piano Competition. Mr. Cassard has performed as soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Orchestre National de France, and many more. He has worked with many conductors, including Sir Neville Marriner, Jeffrey Tate, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Raymond Leppard, Charles Dutoit, Armin Jordan, Marek Janowski, Emmanuel Krivine, and Thierry Fischer. Mr. Cassard's performance of the complete piano works of Debussy (four recitals in a single day)-presented in London (Wigmore Hall), Dublin, Paris, Lisbon, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo-received extremely enthusiastic press and media coverage. Released by Decca, the collected was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque in 1994. As a chamber musician, Mr. Cassard has appeared with such artists as Wolfgang Holzmair, Paul Meyer, David Grimal, Anne Gastinel, Matt Haimovitz, and Isabelle Faust; as well as with the Ebène, Modigliani, Takács, Auryn, Vanbrugh, Danish, and Chilingirian string quartets. His recording of Schumann's Humoreske, Op. 20, and Fantasiestücke, Op. 12, was named Editor's Choice by Gramophone. Mr. Cassard's other releases (Schubert's Impromptus and Brahms's Klavierstücke, Op. 116-119) have been received very warmly. In 2012, Mr. Cassard and Ms. Dessay recorded an album of Debussy songs on Virgin Classics. Mr. Cassard served as artistic director of the Nuits Romantiques du Lac du Bourget festival from 1999 to 2008, and since 2005, he has presented more than 300 live programs dedicated to piano interpretation on France Musique Radio. He has written an essay on Schubert and a book on cinema and music.

Beethoven's Sonata No. 21, Op. 53 Leif Ove Andsnes, Piano
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 | 8 PM
The mercilessly self-critical Brahms described his C-Minor Quartet as "mean and paltry," but posterity has rendered a different verdict on his masterpiece. The two Op. 51 quartets are dedicated to Theodor Billroth, Brahms's surgeon friend in Vienna and an accomplished amateur violist. Billroth knew better than to take the composer's judgment at face value. "These dedications will keep our names known longer than our best work," he remarked to a fellow dedicatee.
As a student in Paris in the late 1950s, Hungarian composer György Kurtág became so fascinated by the music of Anton Webern (whose works were unavailable in Communist Hungary) that he went to the library and copied out by hand virtually the entire output of the Austrian composer. Kurtág's debt to Webern is apparent in the spare, aphoristic style of this richly allusive work, which was first performed on April 22, 1989, in Witten, Germany, by the Auryn Quartet.
Beethoven considered Op. 131 the best of his 16 string quartets. Although much has been written about the work's unconventional seven-part structure and often abstruse tonal relationships, the robust lyricism and emotional intensity of the music have never failed to pull listeners into its unforgettable sound world. One of the C-sharp-Minor Quartet's greatest admirers was Franz Schubert, who is said to have requested a performance on his deathbed.

The Death card reversed suggests that the sun may be going down on a relationship, and you may not be ready for the next step. You might be avoiding issues in order to play it safe or maintain the status quo, but tension about losing control or facing the reality may be mounting. The truth is that it doesn't have to go badly; in fact, you may be surprised at the breakthrough or feeling of liberation that could come once you embrace the coming changes with hope.

Thanks Prince.
Informational, to say the least.
Just lost my mother to Alzheimer's on January 17th.
The decline was devastating and painful to watch.
Seeing the once vibrant, unstoppable force that was my mother fade away like that at times made me physically ill.
Her mother passed from it as well.
So much for skipping a generation.

Which X-Man Almost Made It Into 'The Wolverine'?
Arguably one of the most successful differences between James Mangold's 'The Wolverine' and Gavin Hood's flop of an 'X-Men Origins' tale was preventing the floodgate of various mutant appearances from diluting the story of Logan. The new character additions worked well, and aside from the post-credits scene, which saw the return of a couple familiar faces, Famke Janssen's Jean Grey was the only mutant from movies past. However, screenwriter Mark Bomback originally tried to squeeze in another well-known character into the film but ultimately scrapped the idea.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Garlichunter Pool Saddle
These are not bad - are not good, they work but if they were double the thickness they would work much better. For a child or teenager they would work just fine but for an adult they just barley keep your chin out of the water. Seem to be of good quality but we used a life jacket upside down before and they worked much better.

Clayton News Daily
By Doug Gorman
High School football games are usually played on Friday and Saturday nights. This week, Mundy's Mill and Fayette County will break with that tradition with a Region 4-AAAAA contest on Thursday night in a battle of Tigers. Kickoff for the Thursday night's tilt is set for 7:30 p.m. at Tara Stadium. The nickname Tigers isn't the only thing the two schools have in common. Both programs are also struggling to win as each squad brings just one victory into the region contest. Mundy's Mill, which is in just its third season and its first playing a full region schedule, has looked competitive at times. In its season-opener against Jonesboro, the Tigers played the Cardinals to a 13-13 tie. Two games later, they beat Morrow 27-0. That was the biggest point-production of the season for the Tigers. Although Mundy's Mill lost to Riverdale, the game between the two region rivals was close, with the Raiders holding off the Tigers 27-26. However, the close defeat against Riverdale, started Mundy's Mill on a three game slide, including losses to Newnan (20-6) and Starr's Mill (38-0) Tommy Webb, the former head coach at Riverdale and Jonesboro, brings his Fayette club into Clayton County for the second time in three weeks. Two weeks ago, Fayette County lost to Lovejoy in a game that saw Webb's club recover two on-side kicks late in the fourth quarter in an effort to mount a comeback.More like this story

The Department of Agriculture became involved at my request just in case this was a contagious disease. I don't mean just any contagious disease — I deal with contagious diseases in cattle every day without need of assistance, thank you very much. But some diseases are particularly dangerous from both a human health aspect and an economic aspect.
Both the federal and state governments have regulatory authority to get involved in cases involving certain animal diseases. Diseases like bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis have the potential to sicken or even kill people through contact with infected animals or food products. These diseases have been the focus of attention for decades. The eventual goal is eradication of these diseases from the country.
It is a pretty lofty goal if you consider our vast country and its sheer numbers of cattle. But, with the exception of a few stubborn pockets that remain in the country, tuberculosis and brucellosis are extremely rare. Neither has been seen in Pennsylvania in decades.
This success didn't happen by accident. It was the hard work and dedication of farmers and veterinarians for generations that got us where we are today. Early on in the course of the eradication effort, whole herds of cattle would need to be tested. If even a single animal was found to be infected, often the entire herd would be destroyed. Farmers would be compensated fair market value for the animals.
As time went on, veterinarians and farmers gradually gained a foothold in the effort to eliminate these diseases and, as they did, the methods to battle these diseases changed. Today, we aren't required to test entire herds of cattle anymore, with the exception of some herds that still voluntarily test in order to maintain certified or accredited free status. But the monitoring hasn't stopped by any means.
Today, many animals that cross state lines are tested for tuberculosis and brucellosis. Also, every cow, bull, heifer or steer that is slaughtered at a USDA-inspected slaughterhouse gets inspected for tuberculosis. Occasionally, bovine tuberculosis rears its ugly head in the country. Most recently, it was found in an animal at slaughter in California.
Once the disease is confirmed, the folks at the USDA track down the animal's origin and take steps to contain and eliminate any other infected animals. If these diseases were to gain traction in our herds again, the economic results could be devastating. Even more damaging, however, would be the introduction of a contagious foreign animal disease like hoof and mouth disease.
Viral diseases such as hoof and mouth disease pose little to no risk of infection to people; however, it would cause billions of dollars in losses to American farmers. Hoof and mouth disease causes painful ulcers in the mouth and on the feet of cloven-hoofed animals. The disease renders its victims unwilling to eat because of the fever and pain associated with the ulcers. While the disease usually doesn't kill its victims, recovery can take months.
The most dangerous aspect of the disease is its ability to spread across the country faster than it can be contained. It is this property that keeps veterinarians on edge when an animal displays signs even remotely similar to hoof and mouth disease. Any delay in action could allow further spread of the disease. Hoof and mouth disease is but one of many exotic viral diseases that have the potential for trouble for American livestock.
Many private practitioners are the eyes and ears on the front lines against the spread of dangerous diseases of livestock. Hopefully, we will never experience the devastation of a foreign animal disease mass outbreak in the country.
