Fordgate is a classic example of new media leading the old. U.S. producers are smart enough to realize that Canadians represent a major chunk of the North American consumer base, and there's very little commercial downside in giving them what they want. Especially when their own media won't. With the Gawkers of the world happily pillaging their readers, revenue, and reputation, decency debates are a luxury Canada's old guard media establishment literally can't afford.
What's troubling is that the homophobic and racially slanted comments allegedly made by Rob Ford have received little or no scrutiny. The biggest stain this scandal brings isn't the possible addictions of a well-known politician. It is the fetid stench of acceptance and normalization of blatant bigotry that stinks to high heavens. Have we become collectively complacent in the face of bigotry?
The obvious question is, if Mayor Ford is charged with possession of crack cocaine does he then lose his post? The short answer is "no." Absent imprisonment, there is really no way to remove a mayor who is charged with an offence.
This week has been an emotional roller coaster for Canadians who follow the news. Lost in the shuffle were two stories that were of no particular importance, relatively speaking, to Canadians. One of them is about the way well-heeled Manhattan moms have worked the lineup system at Disney by hiring a disabled person to be a "family member" for the day.
This is how the entire situation boils down: You are giving your money to a website so they can give your money to a member of a gang which wreaks violence on your city so that they, the website, can make money for themselves. Does this make any sense to you whatsoever? If you don't like Rob Ford, fine, don't vote for him. Smear him all you want. Insult him at every party. Call him a fascist Michelin Man. Frankly, I don't give a damn. But for the love of God, please don't give money to drug dealers.
This week was so full of disillusioning news that it was hard to keep an optimistic outlook. In Belize, thousands of years of history were razed when one of the country's largest Mayan pyramids was bulldozed. In Toronto, Gawker and The Toronto Star published details of a video alleged to show the city's mayor, Rob Ford, inhaling from what two Star reporters who saw the video say "appears to be a glass crack pipe." Meanwhile, in Ottawa, expense scandals led to Senators Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy leaving the Conservative caucus. What's a defeated HuffPost reader to do?
Near midnight last night, the Toronto Star detailed the video of Mayor Ford allegedly smoking crack cocaine. But while they're the ones questioning Ford's fitness to lead, they're also the ones who are primarily responsible for this mess -- them and our arcane electoral system. The first past the post system made it harder for the non-top-two candidates, including Sarah Thomson, to stay in the race. If we'd had a ranked ballot method of voting, they may have stayed in. I was livid at Thomson quitting, leaving us with two crappy choices. It's no wonder so many of us either didn't vote or seriously considered not voting.
The Toronto Taxpayers Coalition has been an emerging right wing voice in municipal politics since its birth in 2010. According to the group, it advoca...
Toronto's business leaders like to think that they are helping to build a great global city, but casino building is city-ruining of the highest order. A downtown casino will tear holes in Toronto's urban fabric, create more costs than benefits, and send the message that Toronto is on the wrong track.
Exploiting society's most vulnerable citizens, the modus operandi of revenue-generating gambling, is regressive taxation. Gambling is a gateway drug; a city that enables and promotes it violates basic principles of conservatism -- notably, to draw on evidence from other jurisdictions, and to put social problems to heel before they reach metastasis.
Every time it feels like things can't possibly get any worse, Toronto politics finds a way to stoop to a new low. Rob Ford is engaged in yet another race to the bottom. Nonetheless, it's interesting to examine the attacks on Sarah Thomson, and the painfully-flawed logic behind them. But it's really worth examining the true meaning of the statements, and what it says about how sexual assault claims are treated. Exactly what burden of proof do we require before we believe a woman who claims assault? It seems that the court of public opinion requires a higher burden of proof than any other court in the land.
It should go without saying that Sarah Thomson's allegations that Rob Ford groped her must be investigated -- even though she herself has bizarrely refused to press charges thus far. Perhaps she was/is still shocked by the incident and fearful of the repercussions of a legal battle, but it is her duty as a woman -- moreover as a woman with a public profile -- to take the next step and get law enforcement involved.
If Sarah Thomson was groped by Rob Ford, she should have gone to the police and pressed for charges to be laid against the Mayor. Instead, she sought to embarrass Ford publicly. Perhaps to bring him down a notch. Maybe even to boost her public profile. All under the guise of promoting women's rights.
Thrilling as the #Fordcourt ride was, we're back to where we started. Ford Nation -- such as it is -- can enjoy its little victory lap. All I ask is that the Ford brothers set aside the slogans, the catchphrases, the childish vindictiveness, and the belligerent, tribal ignorance that's characterized public discourse in Toronto for the last two years.
I've been told that it's impolite to say "I told you so," so I won't say that exactly. But given today's divisional court ruling overturning Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's removal from office, I will say this: "The lawyer I quoted told you so." That lawyer had warned that the lower court judge was wrong to interpret the law as empowering council to force Mayor Ford to pay out over $3,000 for a code of conduct violation. And today the divisional agreed. Do you think Rob Ford is unfit to lead Toronto? Then begin a campaign for a better candidate for 2014. But don't use the legal system to undo a decision of Toronto's voters.
Despite the grand conspiracy pushed forth by Toronto's anti-high school football illuminati, Rob Ford the World's Greatest Mayor is keeping his job. Sure, Rob Ford may be an angry drunken high school football coach who also just happens to be the mayor, but he's our angry drunken football coach. If you're not one for performance comedy, we can kind of understand why you might be upset about Big Dawg Rob's return, but here at VICE, we would like to to welcome the gravy man back with open arms.

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Robert Bilheimer
Starring: Glenn Close (narrator), Will Smith (narrator), Bono, the Dalai Lama
The quality of the filmmaking may seem beside the point when dealing with a movie like this, since there's a tendency to evaluate this kind of documentary more by its intentions than its actual content. However, good intentions only carry a film so far, and the whole raison d'etre for an activist documentary carries the imperative that it "works" -- that it connects with and persuades the viewer.
Thankfully, this examination of AIDS as a global epidemic succeeds more often than not, overcoming a well-intentioned but rather trite narration by Glenn Close and Will Smith, who sound altogether too much like they're about to make a pitch for the Christian Children's Fund. The narration may be wanting, but the film's stories and interview subjects are not.
A Closer Walk succeeds because it manages to put a human face on those suffering from AIDS and those combating the disease (of course, some people do both). A beautifully structured documentary, it brings its multiple stories full circle, concluding as it began, thus offering a degree of closure, though the endings are not always pleasant. This is powerful material, especially at a time when AIDS has become a dangerously passe topic on so many fronts.
The film is most powerful when the most hopeful of the disease's victims are front and center, especially a smiling Ugandan girl who wants nothing so much as to turn out to be a "remarkable person." At the same time, the hard facts about the disease's toll are nothing short of staggering, while the general indifference of so much of the world is simply maddening. What, after all, does it say about our own society, that it can get into a frenzy over Janet Jackson's nipple while ignoring millions of AIDS-related deaths?
Besides putting the AIDS crisis in perspective, this film is also handsomely made. It looks all the richer for having been shot on film rather than video -- an unusual move for a documentary these days. This is definitely an important and strong piece of work.
A Closer Walk will be shown twice on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1: at 7:30 p.m. at the Fine Arts Theatre and at 9 p.m. at the Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company.

Smartphones have been getting lots of attention lately what with Google's introduction of the Nexus One and all the ballyhooing going on over at CES this week. The world is seemingly poised for yet another "year of mobile" (I'm losing count, but it seems as if that scorecard is well into its second decade). So what are the opportunities? Where are the changes?
A new Questus study sponsored by AOL and Universal McCann takes the temperature of 1,800 smartphone users - because if any audience is not only receptive to, but equipped for mobile marketing messaging, it's very obviously these technology early adopters.
The findings? Heartening, but hardly earthshaking. Herewidth, some of the findings:

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Castillero is a good middle school with excellent electives like Art, Music and Spanish. The teachers are passionate in the electives. Others are there out of tenure for core subjects. There math program is lacking judging by how my daughter struggled in high school. On the whole it is a good school but recommend you work with your kids on their weaknesses to shore up their strengths in preparation for high school. The principal is not that good, seems to have attitude issues. They have a large number of vice principals who mostly run the school.
Horrible school if a student has no interest in the arts; if the arts are a passion, the electives are fantastic. The advanced math classes are also great and leave students well prepared for high school. On the other hand, the science classes do not prepare for high school in any way, shape, or form. The language arts classes teach to the lowest common denominator; if a student's reading level is advanced for their grade, they will be ignored in class. There are pervasive issues with gangs, fights, and bullying. School is overcrowded.
My son was dreading going to Castillero since he had heard about the bullying and poor leadership/academics. We did look at moving but it didn't work out so we decided to give the school a chance. Yes, they bus in a lot of kids and there is an emphasis on the arts. I don't agree with every policy and am not happy that the kids have to avoid any blue or red on their body (clothes, shoes, bags, etc) since they are gang colors. The school is so overcrowded, they need to have one way hall hallways! That said, my son is felling very comfortable at the school. He got a full year science and 7th grade math class which should push him academically. He was placed in Orchestra, as did many of his friends, even thought they didn't request it, but he's really enjoying learning the violin. Castillero has good sports programs in progress and planned (soccer, flag football, basketball, etc) which he loves. My son really likes his teachers and is enjoying the experience. Only a few weeks into the school year but so far it's been positive for a family that was so concerned that we were willing to sell our house and move to another middle school. I'll update this review after a few months.
This is our "home" school and if you're child is not into the arts you are a total outsider. I find the school to be lacking in science and math. They school is too overcrowded and buses in students from other parts of the city. I understand the need for this magent, but feel they should balance out the core studies. Its very easy for a child to slide by here, big disappointment.
I went to Castillero and found the classes lacking,no sense of community and tolerance. It's way too crowded. I was involved in the choirs and it wasn't that great. If I could I would have went to another middle school.
I just returned from my daughter's orchestra concert, and as always I come away from a Castillero event thinking, "Parents would expect to pay thousands of dollars in tuition if this were a private school!" Castillero has 6 bands, 5 orchestras, 5 choirs, a full time drama teacher, a full time dance teacher and 3 full time art teachers. Every child gets 1 1/2 electives per year (2 1/2 if your child takes 0 period). My daughters had in dance, band, orchestra, drama and art. Everything except dance was fantastic. The school has very little bullying because everyone has their arts niche where they feel comfortable, talented and happy. When my daughter graduated she wept, "I can't leave band! They are my brothers and sisters!" The school sacrifices 1 semester of science each year to get in an extra elective, but I consider it completely worthwhile. As in every school there are strong and weak teachers in every subject. Math, science, social studies and language arts could all use improvements here and there, but overall it is an amazing school and I know our family will be grateful for the rest of our lives that our daughters were able to attend.
Castillero has excellent music, drama and art programs and offers high school courses like algebra 1 and geometry for students advanced In mathematics.
This is no longer a neighborhood school in Almaden. They have 9 buses that bus in kids from out of area. The school is over populated. The administration lowers standards(academic and behavior) to accommodate bus in population. This school has really gone down the last few years. Kids get easy A's without much effort. They don't prepare kids well for HS. They sacrifice academics for performing arts. Administration doesn't do much with problem kids, rule enforcement. Kids know there are no consequences for bad behaviors. Parents concerns and feedback are not heard by the admin. The school offers lots of choices in electives but only 1 semester of Science. It is great for kids that likes performing arts. There are some great passionate teachers but they spent more time controlling classroom than teaching due to disruptive kids. Leadership is lacking at Castillero. The administration is in denial about the problems. Some of them they can't fix due to SJUSD mandates but a lot they can. Some parents are also in denial because their kids are enjoying and doing well in performing arts. There should be no reason why we can't have both, good academics and performing arts electives.
We were not happy here at all. Many teachers who should be FIRED and are not. Students who need help don't get it, administrators turn their backs on them. Discrimination against students who are not into any performing arts programs runs rampant; both from administrators and other students. Huge problem with cliques and groups who think they are IT, primarily girls in dance who can be extremely cruel. Many students have a chip on their shoulders. Classrooms are also often uncontrolled, and this is the SCHOOL'S fault for not removing those students and contacting the parents, rather than leaving them in the classrooms to disturb those who want to learn..
This is my son's second year here at this school . Just like every other junior high this school does face some troubled kids and some "wanna be" gang problems. However, I think the pro's outweigh the con's. I am very satisfied with the admin staff here at this school. Teachers and faculties can only do so much to stop the "bad" kids. Its up to the parents at home to raise their kids better!
Not a good school if you want support from the principal or academic counselor. I agree with other parents and students is that if you're into music program, then it is a great school. The music teacher is excellent and is passionate about teaching. Unfortunately, there are also teachers in the school who are lazy, non-supportive and have zero passion in teaching. But since they are tenure, their job is safe. It really is a shame.
This school was higher ranking not too long ago which was more on par with the other Almaden schools. It is bothersome that it has quickly gone from ranking 8 to now a 6. I'm all for it continuing the performing arts and such, but would appreciate a return to a stronger academic program. Rating low on all 3 - teacher, principal, and parent - as it is a problem to solve together and hopefully sooner than later.
This was the best school I've ever attended (I am a senior in high school now at Leland - DO NOT GO THERE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, trust me). Castillero is a magnet for performing arts, and might as well be for visual arts as well. There are some amazing teachers there, as well as staff and students. All my very best friends I met at Castillero. Yes, there are a few cliques, but for the most part people are friendly, nice, and fun to be around. It is really a fantastic school and I'll recommend it to any student who wants a great education with rich electives. - '07 Class Member
Do not listen to the parent reviews. Listen to us kids! We actually take classes at Castillero! They're is no "Popular" and "other" group, but there are a few cliques. The teachers know how to keep down the volume. The staff are wonderful and know the answer to all of your questions if it is about Castillero itself. The acedemics are great, you get chances to learn something new!
I attend Castillero Middle School and I love it here! The teachers are so nice and treat you with respect, I find myself learning new things everyday, and the electives are wonderful! I'm in 2 advance choirs and I love it! The teachers use creative ways to teach you new lessons and its always fun. If you're going to be in this school later, you shouldn't worry about what teacher you get, because all the teachers are awesome!
This school is a wonderful. I am an 8th grader,all my three years I have experienced perfection.I feel totally ready for high school.
Students do think Castillero is a great school because its like a holiday camp but they do need more academics to prepare them for high school.
Castillero is the best middle school anyone can go to and their electives and normal clasess everyone needs are awsome....The parents are being stupid on their reviews...Castillero is a great school!! they have dance, chior, band, oprchestra, and much more!! they have different levels too ( beg, int, adv) all my friends and i adore castillero! i give it a 10-10...Yes we can be loud...But were a great school and they control everything. And always have positive attitudes. So if u had to choose between any school and castillero...Pick castillero...Go cobras!

RICHLAND COUNTY, SC — Richland 2 superintendent Katie Brochu has submitted a 75-page response to school board members who had raised a series of questions about the direction of the district and the costs of the professional training she has instituted for teachers and administrators.
About 25 pages was a direct response to board inquiries following a tense public meeting in late October Another 50 pages were devoted to line items delineating the cost of Schlechty Center professional training that Brochu has embraced for the district, said board member Bill Flemming. Members received the information Wednesday.
The total amount of money is what we have always been spending, about $600,000, Flemming said of the professional training.
Brochu addressed ways she plans to improve what some perceived as flagging relationships between the school district and the community, and more importantly, how she plans to tackle the thorny issue of sliding academic scores, he said. Some of the information in her response was repeated from the district progress report she submitted to the board in early October.
We have to work on the academics now, Flemming said. Our scores, now over the last seven years, have been slipping.
Board member James Manning said that, too, remains for him the critical element that Brochu must address in coming months.
For me the missing piece is not being afraid of change but figuring out how we measure success, how do I measure whether we are successful, Manning said. He said an initial look at her responses suggested he may have further questions to ask of Brochu.
With a lot of things in the district, you (Brochu) are telling me you are doing things, but you havent given me a measure to see that we are making the mark.
Flemming characterized the boards evaluation of Brochu, as middle-of-the-road to critical, and said it perhaps served as a wake-up call to Brochu, who came to the district in July 2010 and earns $223,000.
Brochu, who succeeded veteran superintendent Steve Hefner, slashed the number of administrators and moved to eliminate many working retirees, initiatives that were met with protest and suspicion that she was changing the Richland 2 culture.
Overall for what we have asked Katie to do and what she has had to do, shes done it, Flemming said. Lets just face it, anybody coming into this job after a longtime superintendent, its tough.
A newly released climate study found of those employees who responded, most are satisfied with their jobs and the district.
That leaves Manning in the weeds a bit about exactly what should be addressed beyond academics.
Im not sure what I can put my finger on, Manning said. Overall, people are happy. My phone is not beat up nor my email saying we are going down the toilet.
Flemming said the portfolio style of evaluation, which focused on goals rather than numbers, was unfamiliar to some board members who were used to a more straightforward, analysis of the district based on quantifiable numerical progress. Now we have to decide if we want to go back to that.

Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in The Netherlands. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to briefly walk around the Maas River. It was quite dark, raining, with an electric blue sky. Crossing one of the bridges, the Sint-Martinuskerk Church absorbed my attention, so I set up my tripod and captured this photo.

Heather Brecl, Junior Symphony Guild
Denver, Colo – Central City Opera (CCO) partners for the first time with the Junior Symphony Guild (JSG) on their 2010 Tiny Tots Inside the Orchestra program. CCO will bring opera to the 23rd annual program which takes place Jan. 25 through Feb. 10, 2010 at venues throughout the Denver metro area ranging from Boettcher Concert Hall to the Wildlife Experience and El Jebel Shrine (a complete list of performances is located at the bottom of this release and at www.jrsg.org). Performances take place at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on dates listed.
A 45-minute performance, Tiny Tots Inside the Orchestra engages, entertains and educates pre-school children six and under. JSG's adult professional orchestra surrounds the audience as they hear well-known repertoire ranging from "Looney Tunes" and "Star Wars" to Beethoven. The children and their parents are creatively engaged in theatre-of-the-mind activities as they grow to the music, stomp like giants and gallop like horses to the William Tell Overture. For the first time in the history of the program, live opera music will also be performed by local Central City Opera Ensemble Artist Lukas Graf. He will sing "Largo al factotum," widely known as "The Figaro Aria," performed by the main character in Rossini's famous opera, The Barber of Seville. Through the Junior Symphony Guild's Tiny Tots Inside the Orchestra program and the Inside the Orchestra program for elementary students, the JSG has introduced symphonic music to more than 25,000 children in the entire Front Range region ranging from inner city Denver to suburban areas.
"We are happy to join with the JSG in offering an exciting early exposure to instrumental and vocal classical music through this unique concept of placing the audience inside the performance. Pre-schoolers love stories and great music sends their imaginations on magical journeys not soon forgotten", commented Central City Opera Education and Community Programs Director Deb Morrow.
Baritone Lukas Graf
A graduate of the University of Colorado, Boulder with two Masters Degrees in Vocal Performance and Choral Conducting, baritone Lukas Graf has performed professionally throughout the region. Mr. Graf made his debut with Opera Colorado last November in The Tales of Hoffmann and has performed often with Colorado Light Opera, Intermountain Opera in Montana and Missoula Community Theatre in Montana. He is currently a member of Central City Opera's Ensemble Artists, local artists who audition to serve as Education and Community performers and teaching artists year-round for Central City Opera.

Junior Symphony Guild
The mission of the Junior Symphony Guild (JSG) is to bring orchestra music to young children in the greater Denver metropolitan community, cultivating music appreciation and enhancing their education through an engaging first-hand experience with the orchestra. The Junior Symphony Guild is celebrating 50+ years in Denver supporting the orchestra and 20+ years bringing professional live orchestra music to Denver's youth. The JSG hired Thomas H. Jensen (conductor of the Colorado Ballet and radio broadcaster) as Music Director 23 years ago, challenging him to develop an engaging orchestra program which would both entertain and educate children, sparking their creativity and igniting a love of learning. Mr. Jensen created two unique award-winning programs: Inside the Orchestra and Tiny Tots Inside the Orchestra. In an effort to make orchestra music accessible to all children, regardless of any socio-economic boundaries, and to ensure that the arts stay alive in education, the JSG underwrites almost all performances through private and corporate contributions, grants and Special Events. Each season the JSG programs are performed for 25,000 children in the Denver metro area at 30 elementary schools and 7 different venues. For more information about the JSG or for the concert schedule visit www.insidejsg.org.
Central City Opera's Education and Community Programs

The company has visited over 100 communities across Colorado with these programs, entertaining and educating more than 100,000 people each year. Central City Opera is one of the most active opera companies in the nation in education and community services.

The emergence of talent : genius and precocity by Malcolm Gladwell
This is the final lesson of the late bloomer: his or her success is highly contingent on the efforts of others. In biographies of Cézanne, Louis-Auguste invariably comes across as a kind of grumpy philistine, who didn't appreciate his son's genius. But Louis-Auguste didn't have to support Cézanne all those years. He would have been within his rights to make his son get a real job, just as Sharie might well have said no to her husband's repeated trips to the chaos of Haiti. She could have argued that she had some right to the life style of her profession and status—that she deserved to drive a BMW, which is what power couples in North Dallas drive, instead of a Honda Accord, which is what she settled for.
But she believed in her husband's art, or perhaps, more simply, she believed in her husband, the same way Zola and Pissarro and Vollard and—in his own, querulous way—Louis-Auguste must have believed in Cézanne. Late bloomers' stories are invariably love stories, and this may be why we have such difficulty with them. We'd like to think that mundane matters like loyalty, steadfastness, and the willingness to keep writing checks to support what looks like failure have nothing to do with something as rarefied as genius. But sometimes genius is anything but rarefied; sometimes it's just the thing that emerges after twenty years of working at your kitchen table.
"Sharie never once brought up money, not once—never," Fountain said. She was sitting next to him, and he looked at her in a way that made it plain that he understood how much of the credit for "Brief Encounters" belonged to his wife. His eyes welled up with tears. "I never felt any pressure from her," he said. "Not even covert, not even implied."
Sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords.

Here's our master list of items for the driver who's ready for anything. By Phil Berg Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 9 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Survival It's smart to pack a wool blanket and some chemical warm packs, too. A wool blanket works well even if it's damp. An emergency blanket (also known as a space blanket) is a metal-coated plastic sheet that marathoners use to keep warm after a race. It, too, can keep you warm in an emergency. Chemical heat packs react with air and can add warmth inside a blanket. They can be stopped and started for up to 15 hours. Be sure to pack a flashlight, glow sticks, matches, and emergency candles. We like rechargeable flashlights that park in your car's 12-volt outlet. To help keep you dry, bring along a waterproof poncho with a hood. A plastic whistle with two chambers should also find space in this kitit works much better then shouting for help. Bring along a solar- and hand-crank-powered light/radio/cellphone charger. Be sure to buy one through a reputable sourcewe've heard many stories that some don't work long enough. And, yes, you will need extra clothes and a good winter hat. We'd recommend packing a small tarp too, in case you need temporary shelter.

1. Indiana 2. Akron 3. Ohio State 4. Western Kentucky 5. Oakland 6. Cincinnati 7. Marquette 8. Kentucky 9. Notre Dame 10. Michigan State
UB, NIU ALSO RANKED: In addition to the Great Lakes Region, which houses the bulk of the league's schools, Buffalo is also ranked this week in the state of New York Region for the eighth straight week. Northern Illinois reappears in the Midwest Region tied for seventh following two wins last week.
AKRON MOVES UP IN RANKING: Akron moved up to five spots to No. 14 in the latest NSCAA/adidas poll, which was released Monday. The Zips reached their highest ranking of the year after a pair of back-to-back shutouts. Akron is unbeaten in its last six matches (5-0-1), including four shutouts.
FIRST PLACE IN MAC AT STAKE: Entering the final week of the regular season, the top spot in next week's MAC Tournament in DeKalb, Ill., is up for grabs. With a win in its final league contest, Akron, which is currently in first place with 16 points, would be guaranteed at least a share of the regular season title should Kentucky win both of its matches. If both schools end in a tie for the top seeding in the postseason tournament, the tiebreaking procedure would begin with head-to-head competition -- the two tied 1-1 in the regular season. The rest of the tiebreakers for this spot, as well as any others in the standings is as follows: winning percentage vs. ranked conference teams, goal differential in conference games, goals allowed in conference matches, and, if necessary, a coin flip.
CARMICHAEL COMES UP BIG: Marshall freshman Byron Carmichael tallied a pair of goals over the weekend for the Thundering Herd, helping Marshall to a pair of non-conference victories. Carmichael scored the team's second goal in a 3-2 win over Florida International, then tallied the gam-winner, his seventh of the season, in a 2-1 win over No. 16 Jacksonville. The freshman leads the team in goals (7) and total points (16).
PARISI REMAINS ON FIRE FOR NIU: Junior Dan Parisi netted his second hat trick of the season in the Northern Illinois 3-0 win over Western Michigan. Parisi, who is tied for the league lead in goals (13), tallied all of his markers within an 18 minute span. His 30 points to date this season is tied for eighth on the school's all-time single season chart, while his 13 goals are seventh.
BG WINS SHORTHANDED: Bowling Green picked up a significant conference victory on the road versus Buffalo on Sunday, and did it shorthanded. The Falcons downed the Bulls in overtime when Bobby Biggs tallied the game-winner with BG down a man. The goal for Biggs was his 20th in his career. The victory also pushed the Falcons to a 4-1-1 mark in their last six matches heading into games with Oakland and Eastern Michigan.
SONGER ADDS TWO MORE TALLIES: Buffalo's Tim Songer scored two markers last week for the Bulls, one each against Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green, giving him 11 goals for the year. In the process, the junior becomes the third player in the league to record 10 or more goals. Songer joins teammate Steve Butcher (13 goals) and Northern Illinois' Dan Parisi (13).
UK GIVES INDIANA A RUN FOR IT: Kentucky gave then No. 3 Indiana all it could handle last week in Bloomington, Ind., as the defending national champions downed the Wildcats, 4-2. The loss ended UK's six-match unbeaten streak and also helped the Hoosiers, who moved to No. 2 in the national poll. The Wildcats were then shutout by Louisville, 2-0, marking the first time since Sept. 22 that the team was held scoreless.

Whitewater Jet-Boating
Whitewater jet boats come from a variety of builders such as Duckworth Boats, Hells Canyon Marine, Kingfisher, Rogue Jet, Weldcraft and BWC.
Related Articles
In most types of boating, captains avoid treacherous water. But not Carl Johnson. He looks for it. On the wild rivers of Idaho, Oregon and Washington — on the Snake, the Salmon, the Rogue, the Columbia and the Payette.
This is whitewater jet-boating, and it takes a different kind of captain willing and able to challenge the raging rollers and menacing troughs wrought by tons of meltwater crashing through narrow, boulder-strewn canyons.
Johnson, 48, is a different kind of boater in more ways than one. He lost both legs at the knees in a catastrophic encounter with a high-voltage line while operating a farm crane, and he suffers partial paralysis in one hand. But thanks to an indomitable spirit of adventure and a pair of prosthetic legs, he still dances with the river.
In fact, Johnson often goes solo, handling tasks like towing, launching and beaching his 24-foot Bohnenkamp's Whitewater Customs (BWC) jet boat in a river's unrelenting current. About the only special adaptation on his boat is a custom electric switch to shift in and out of reverse.
"I try not to let anything slow me down too much," said Johnson as we began our run up the Payette River north of Boise, Idaho, last June. Indeed. When not flying along a river, Johnson flies a helicopter. He's a commercial pilot and owner of Airflair Aviation, based in Homedale, Idaho.

Thanks guys, bonus points for me!
Marketing potential? Yes. But she is one to create something and move on to something else. She hate the repetitive thing. Her cooking is awesome except I never get the same thing twice. A meal I love, I will never taste again. Good thing is I never know what to expect. |

Buchanan Dam man killed by troopers after three-hour standoffOctober 30, 2012, 6:00 pm by Frank Graham A Buchanan Dam man was shot and killed Monday by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers after a three-hour standoff at his home. William Charles Lipscombe, 49, was shot after he pointed his gun at officers in the yard of a house in the 100 block of Senisa Court, according to a DPS spokesman. The troopers ordered the man to drop his weapon but he instead raised it, the spokesman said. He died at the scene. The Texas Rangers are investigating the incident, the spokesman said.

Introduction (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
The rich intellectual life in England during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries is reflected in literary works of the period. The Renaissance, with its accompanying movements, the new Humanism and the Reformation, brought with it a consciousness of artistic beauty and a love of learning little known since the days of classical Greece and Rome. From the days of Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343-1400), poetry bloomed in this favorable climate—a poetry different in mood and subject from that of the earlier medieval poets. Prose fiction, too, took tentative steps toward the novel as the stories people had to tell began to expand beyond the boundaries of rhyme and meter, but it was drama that overshadowed all other literary forms from the beginning to the end of the Renaissance.
The rebirth of arts and learning that came to England during the Renaissance brought with it the great drama of classical Greece and Rome. The guidance of Aristotle and the models of Sophocles, Aristophanes, Seneca, Plautus, Terence, and others brought to the Renaissance Englishman a view of humankind, of the world, and of human beings' relationship with the world in many respects different from the medieval view. Long before the introduction of classical drama into England, the citizens of cities and villages were acquainted with drama associated with the Church. The transition from native English mystery, morality, and folk plays to what is generally called "regular" English drama came about slowly from approximately the middle of the sixteenth century. The happy marriage of classical and native English drama gave birth to a hybrid type of literature.
Classical influence was strong during the Renaissance. In the early sixteenth century, Seneca 's tragedies were translated into English and served as a model for regular English tragedy . The five-act structure; the observance of the unities of time, place, and action; the emphasis on character; and the use of the ghost were Senecan devices employed by English Renaissance writers of tragedy. For comedy, the works of the Roman dramatists Plautus and Terence , with their clear plot development, wit, use of proverbs, and natural dialogue, served as models. Elizabethan dramatists adopted the five-act structure almost completely, but they did not slavishly follow classical models in observing the dramatic unities. Native English settings and humor remained dominant in drama, but they were regularized and modified somewhat by the classical models.
A Period of Transition (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
The period from about 1550 to 1580 may be thought of as a period of transition from mystery, morality, folk plays, and interludes to regular English drama. Classical influence was strong during this period, because those scholars who were writing and producing the plays were the same scholars who had introduced the literary works of classical Greece and Rome into England. Nicholas Udall , for example, who wrote the first regular English comedy, Ralph Roister Doister (pr. c. 1552), was an Oxford scholar and headmaster at Eton who studied and translated Terence. Seneca's tragedies had been translated into English by 1580 and served as an example for English tragedy.
One can see in Jack Juggler (pr. c. 1553-1558), perhaps by Udall, an excellent example of how Plautus was used in an English setting. The English dramatist takes the opening scene of Plautus's Amphitruo (186 b.c.e.; Amphitryon, 1694) and transforms it into London farce. Jack Juggler, however, is not a full comedy, only an interlude. Not until Ralph Roister Doister does one see a full English comedy composed according to the classical rules. It is divided into acts and scenes and has a consistent plot with a beginning, middle, and end. The characters Ralph Roister Doister and Matthew Merrygreek are patterned after the Roman miles gloriosus and parasite, respectively. Although the pattern is classical, the setting is English. The play depicts middle-class life in London, with Dame Christian Custance and her English servants replacing the Roman courtesan and her entourage.
Another English comedy of this period is Gammer Gurton's Needle (pr. c. 1562), probably by the Cambridge scholar William Stevenson . Like Ralph Roister Doister, Gammer Gurton's Needle is divided into acts and scenes and has a well-conceived, complex plot in the classical manner, but although the pattern is classical, the substance of the play is native English. Even Diccon, the most Roman of the characters, reminiscent of the intriguing slave of Roman comedy, is transformed into a distinctively English character. Whereas the setting of Ralph Roister Doister is urban, Gammer Gurton's Needle is set in a village. The dialogue, full of dialect and earthy language, helps to make the play more realistically English than any other early regular English drama. Its author was clearly a scholar of Roman comedy, but he was writing about and for English people.
One of the better Italian adaptations of Plautus and Terence, Ludovico Ariosto 's I suppositi (pr. 1509; The Pretenders, 1566), was translated into English as Supposes and presented at Gray's Inn by George Gascoigne in 1566. Best known as a source for William Shakespeare's Lucentio-Bianca plot in The Taming of the Shrew (pr. c. 1593-1594), Gascoigne's translation is also important for having made available in English a comedy that, while modeled on the major Roman comedy writers, eliminated the classical characters of the slave, courtesan, and pander and built the plot around a love story, as though the inspiration for the play were more from Giovanni Boccaccio or Chaucer than from Plautus...

The Rise of Elizabethan Drama (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
During the latter part of the sixteenth century, the popularity of dramatic productions increased among all segments of the English population, from the rustics, who, as Hamlet tells the players, "for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise," to the educated middle class to the nobility. Plays on almost every conceivable subject were written to appeal to some segment of the population, and a few were able to include something for everyone. What had begun in the Church and developed in the schools had now become so popular that both the writing and the acting of drama became a business enterprise. Tropes (passages or sequences for parsing the Mass) had expanded into medieval mystery and morality plays, and those, in turn, given the stimulus of classical thought and forms, had evolved into school drama. So successful had drama been in delighting audiences while teaching them Christian morality and Humanistic concepts that the next logical step in development was into the public realm.
In religious drama, the choir as stage had given way to the nave, the porch, and the churchyard; the churchyard, in turn, had given way to the open field; and the field, to the flatbed wagons on which players performed at different locations. In secular drama there was a centuries-long period of evolution, similarly, culminating in the construction of public theaters expressly designed for the production of plays. In 1576, James Burbage (father of the renowned Elizabethan actor Richard Burbage) built The Theatre just outside the city boundaries of London. Although some evidence, in the form of municipal records, exists to indicate that an earlier public theater had been built and used, Burbage's theater is generally considered to be the first major effort to establish a place where professional actors could practice their trade. The location of the public theater in Shoreditch, a name that adequately describes the area, allowed the acting companies to escape the jurisdiction of the unfriendly London authorities. When its lease ran out in 1596, The Theatre closed. The Curtain, built in the same general area, opened around 1577. From about 1592, when the Rose was refurbished there (it had been built in 1587), the Bankside, an area south of the Thames, just opposite the City but in the county of Surrey, became the "theater district" for London: The Swan was erected there around 1596, the Globe in 1599, and the Fortune in...

University Wits (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Elizabethan drama evolved quite naturally from the intellectual climate of the times and was accompanied by the growth of acting as a profession. The increasing popularity of drama led to acting companies, special theaters, and the need for new material to enact. The new playwrights were not the Church scholars of medieval times or the schoolmasters of the middle sixteenth century. Rather, a new occupation developed, that of the professional playwright. Educated young men from Oxford and Cambridge, passionate young minds excited by the Humanistic spirit who had no inheritance or patrons to support their literary efforts, found in drama a way to mold language and ideas into a form that would support them. This group of educated young men, known as the University Wits , included John Lyly, Robert Greene, George Peele, Thomas Lodge, Thomas Kyd, Thomas Nashe, and Christopher Marlowe. Because these men not only were familiar with classical models but also were trendsetters in developing a distinctively English literature, they lent to the evolving drama both a form and dignity borrowed from the Aristotelian mold and an immediacy in language and idea sparked by an awareness of the political, social, moral, and economic problems of sixteenth century England.
Others in the new profession of acting learned from the University Wits and, in some notable cases, improved on them. Often the acting companies, both adult and children's companies, contracted with a professional dramatist to have a play written, but so hungry for material were the companies that their members, individually or in cooperation with others, would revise old plays to suit present needs or would fashion plots from old plays, poems, or tales into new dramas. These practical dramatists could often create works that combined the best of Humanistic ideas with the most practical dramatic techniques.
The predecessors of Shakespeare, therefore, built a tradition of excellence that would have given the Elizabethan age a luster had Shakespeare himself never written a word. Lyly, although he wrote not for professional adult companies but for children's companies, nevertheless had considerable influence on later playwrights. He carried the extravagant language of his Euphues, the Anatomy of Wit (1578) over into his drama with an effect thoroughly new in English drama. Many modern audiences find Lyly's style tedious and almost unreadable, marked as it is by heavy use of alliteration, antithesis, and elaborate similes and catalogs of fictitious authority to support insignificant arguments. Lyly's work is nevertheless a landmark in the history of English literature, setting a standard that showed the age that the English language was capable of art and grace. Shakespeare mocked the excesses of the euphuistic style in such works as Love's Labour's Lost (pr. c. 1594-1595), Henry IV, Part I (pr. c.1597-1598), and King Lear (pr. c. 1605-1606), but his plays reveal the devotion to style, the confidence in the resources of the language, that informed Lyly's works. Excessive as Lyly's rhetoric was, he illustrated the richness of English.
Through his witty dialogue, Lyly emphasized the intellectual comedy of wit rather than farcical comedy of situation. Lyly's best play is Endymion, the Man in the Moon (pr. 1588), an allegory praising Queen Elizabeth and the earl of Leicester. Elizabeth is portrayed as Cynthia, the chaste huntress, and Leicester is the faithful lover Endymion. Other plays by Lyly are Campaspe (pr. 1584), a prose comedy based on the classical story of Alexander, the beautiful Campaspe, and her artist-lover Apelles. In Sapho and Phao (pr. 1584) and Midas (pr. c. 1589), Lyly uses the old allegorical devices, while in Galathea (pr. c. 1585) and Love's Metamorphosis (pr. c. 1589), he employs pastoral elements. Mother Bombie (pr. c....

Christopher Marlowe (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Marlowe, Shakespeare's famous contemporary, is remembered not only for his poetry and drama but also for his colorful, often violent life and his mysterious death in a tavern brawl. In contrast to his fellow University Wits, he seemed less interested in establishing his reputation as a writer or in earning a living than in pushing life and ideas to the limits. In particular, the philosophical and political ideas of Niccolò Machiavelli fascinated Marlowe, and in his plays, he takes those ideas to their logical conclusion.
Marlowe's skepticism concerning the reigning medieval conception of human beings' place in the cosmos is implicit in his obsessive preoccupation with the nature of power. Some critics believe...

William Shakespeare (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
With Marlowe, the foundations of great Elizabethan drama had been laid—or rather, with Marlowe and the early works of Shakespeare, for in his early works Shakespeare was learning the trade of playwright. By 1595, the marriage of classical ideas and forms with native English literature and culture was consummated and secure.
William Shakespeare , from the village of Stratford-upon-Avon, learned his craft not from studies at Oxford or Cambridge but from his own reading of classical literature, from earlier English dramatists and poets, from his connection with the professional theater as an actor, and from his extraordinary perception of human nature.
Shakespeare has been justly praised for his perception of...
(The entire section is 5744 words.)
Ben Jonson (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Ben Jonson is second only to Shakespeare as a giant of the period. The two were in many ways very different kinds of dramatists. In his An Essay of Dramatic Poesy (1668), John Dryden said of Jonson, "If I would compare him with Shakespeare, I must acknowledge him the more correct poet, but Shakespeare the greater wit. . . . I admire him, but I love Shakespeare," a view not uncommon among later scholars.
Jonson's best plays are his comedies, created, in the tradition of Plautus and Terence, to ridicule human foibles. If Shakespeare presented the mystery and complexity of human life, Jonson concentrated on human folly. His Every Man in His Humour (pr. 1598), with its well-constructed plot, stands...

Drama after Jonson (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Had Shakespeare and Jonson never written drama, the history of the theater during the Renaissance would appear as a continuum from the late Elizabethan period through the early Jacobean period, or almost so. The tradition developed by the University Wits was continued by George Chapman, Thomas Dekker, Thomas Middleton, John Webster, John Ford, Francis Beaumont, and John Fletcher. These men, individually or in collaboration, wrote plays superior to any written for two hundred years or more thereafter. Their relative obscurity is caused simply by their proximity to the greatest dramatists in our culture. Others, such as John Marston, Thomas Heywood, Philip Massinger, Cyril Tourneur, and James Shirley, were good dramatists whose works...

George Chapman (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Chapman , perhaps best known in the twentieth century as the translator of Homer who impressed the English Romantic poet John Keats, was a leading literary figure in his day. He contributed both comedies and tragedies in response to the growing demand in London for new plays. His plots are generally more episodic than dramatic and are often exaggerated; his characters are distinctive and sometimes powerful, but seldom are their motives carefully analyzed. His comedies include The Blind Beggar of Alexandria (pr. 1596), An Humourous Day's Mirth (pr. 1597), The Gentleman Usher (pr. c. 1602), All Fools (pr. 1604), Monsieur d'Olive (pr. 1604), The Widow's Tears (pr. c. 1605),...
(The entire section is 416 words.)
Thomas Dekker (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Another important dramatist of the late Renaissance is Thomas Dekker , a man whose love of life is reflected in his comedies. He took part in the "war of the theaters" that erupted between Jonson and Marston, writing the comedy Satiromastix: Or, The Untrussing of the Humourous Poet (pr. 1601)—the humorous poet being Jonson. Dekker's attack was not vitriolic, but Jonson soon realized that he was far too easy a target and withdrew from the "war." Dekker is best known for The Shoemaker's Holiday: Or, The Gentle Craft (pr. 1600), a pleasant comedy using a plot and characters borrowed from Thomas Deloney's prose romance The Gentle Craft (1597). Other comedies by Dekker are The Whole History...
(The entire section is 226 words.)
Thomas Middleton (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
A dramatist known to have collaborated with Dekker is Middleton who probably had a hand in writing The Honest Whore with Dekker. Middleton's portrayal of London citizens in a decidedly unromantic manner is an interesting cross between Dekker and Jonson. His most important comedies among the many he wrote are The Phoenix (pr. 1604), Michaelmas Term (pr. c. 1606), A Trick to Catch the Old One (pr. c. 1605-1606), The Old Law: Or, A New Way to Please You (pr. c. 1618), and A Game at Chess (pr. 1624). Generally considered to be his best plays are A Trick to Catch the Old One and A Game at Chess. His comedies present life as he found it, in all of its coarseness,...
(The entire section is 201 words.)
John Webster (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
The plays of Webster are second only to those of Shakespeare in their analysis of the psychology of evil. Scholars have long admired the magnificence of Webster's villains but condemned their motivations as obscure. Modern scholarship has argued that the characterizations in Webster's two best plays, The White Devil (pr. c. 1609-1612) and The Duchess of Malfi (pr. 1614), are in fact complex, virtually clinical analyses of psychological disorders. The horrors visited on the virtuous Duchess of Malfi by her brother Ferdinand, for example, can be traced to the same source as his lycanthropy: his incestuous love for his sister and his inability to achieve his desires or even to admit them to himself.
(The entire section is 234 words.)
John Ford (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
John Ford , like Webster, is known for his use of sensationalism. He explores frustrated love, as many of his colleagues did, but the problems that lead to the frustration are not the usual ones. Complex plots, as in The Broken Heart (pr. c. 1627-1631), lead the audience through a maze of sympathies and emphases. The play begins with a love triangle involving the unhappy heroine, Penthea; moves its focus to her brother, who is murdered by her lover; and ends by concentrating on Princess Calantha, who stoically receives the news of the death of her two friends and of her father the king long enough to set her affairs and those of the state in order before dying of a broken heart. In his best play, 'Tis Pity She's a...
(The entire section is 306 words.)
Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
The names of Beaumont (c. 1584-1616) and Fletcher , while they both wrote plays individually and Fletcher collaborated with several other dramatists, are almost always mentioned together because of the great success of the plays that they wrote in collaboration. The one play sometimes assigned solely to Beaumont is The Woman Hater (pr. c. 1606), a kind of burlesque comedy; some modern scholars believe that Beaumont was also the sole author of the mock-heroic satiric comedy The Knight of the Burning Pestle (pr. 1607). About twenty plays are usually assigned to Fletcher alone, including the pastoral The Faithful Shepherdess (pr. c. 1608-1609), a play of excellent poetry and rich imagery. Fletcher...
(The entire section is 281 words.)
Other Jacobeans (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Marston, Heywood, Massinger, Tourneur, and Shirley are usually ranked somewhat lower than the Jacobean dramatists discussed above, although some noteworthy critics would disagree with this ranking in a given case. Marston began his literary career as a poet, turned playwright, and then gave it all up to become a priest. He entered the war of the theaters against Jonson with his Histriomastix: Or, The Player Whipt (pr. 1599) and was held up to ridicule as the character Crispinus in Jonson's Poetaster, but the battle ended quickly, and Marston collaborated with Jonson and Chapman in Eastward Ho! in 1605. He even dedicated to Jonson his most famous play, The Malcontent (pr. 1604), the story of a...

"None of us can solve the whole problem -- but together, we can move the world," spoke Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) America in Chicago last week. Clinton challenges business, government, not-for-profits and foundations to figure out collaborative solutions to the big, complex problems that face society.
When I received an invitation to join President Clinton and a delegation in Haiti on an agricultural trade mission, I looked at the list of large philanthropic corporations from Heineken to Pepsi and at first thought, "How did I get on this powerful list of investors?" I am not a big corporation. I run my small Canadian fragrance company, The 7 Virtues, and we buy essential oils to empower rebuilding nations.
This need for an inter-generational politics is especially relevant in the context of an interesting debate that has been playing out in the Globe and Mail on the topic of youth engagement in politics. It is great to see this debate in a major Canadian newspaper and especially with youth themselves as the protagonists.
Bill Clinton at the DNC said what white- and blue-collar workers have known for 30 years: you need to invest in people to have an innovative and productive economy. My coach, used to say "you get corn, if you plant corn." Neither in government nor in business have we been planting corn. We quit planting it almost 30 years ago when we got rid of middle management in government and the private sector, and as the economy reveals, we are losing.
