Polo no longer just for Saratoga's elite
Send this story to a friend

This summer was so good for the Saratoga Polo Association, they couldn't resist adding a bonus match this afternoon.
The 5:30 p.m. contest will cap a season of record-setting ticket sales. Co-owner Jim Rossi says sales rose 30 percent this year. Attendance has roughly doubled in the last three summers, entering the range of 25,000 patrons.
Horse racing is the icon of Saratoga County's summer tourism brand, and the racing at storied Saratoga Race Course overlaps with action on the polo grounds three miles away. But Rossi believes the growing ticket sales mean polo is gaining visibility, especially within the business community.
Corporations such as RBC and Siemens host annual client events during polo matches, when athletes gallop on horses while using long mallets to try to whack the ball into the opponent's goal.
"Usually, if it's business-to-business, you take a client to a sports event and that is the primary focus. At polo, it's much more social," Rossi says. "You stomp divots at halftime. You can use a sabre to open a champagne bottle [a polo tradition]. It is the rare sport where you can tailgate and witness the game at the same time; you're not stuck in some parking lot a mile from the stadium."
Horse racing is known as the "sport of kings." Polo is just as expensive—though Rossi maintains it's that way for the owners, not necessarily the fans.
"People think there's this have-and-have-nots dynamic here. Just because you may need to be a millionaire or billionaire to own a team doesn't mean our tickets are exorbitant."
In fact, Rossi lowered his least-expensive ticket this season. Clubhouse lawn and bleacher seats are now $20 a pop, not $25.

Thorndon and Karori PostShops are closing, putting 12 jobs and popular services at risk.
New Zealand Post announced recently it was franchising out the services at its premises in Karori Rd and Molesworth St to other businesses in the area as part of a nationwide strategy.
Six staff work in each shop and after the move may not be employed by New Zealand Post.
Store network general manager Jon Andrews said staff had been told early on about the possible changes.
"It's important they hear that from us, but it's very early on in the piece," he said.
"It can take six to 12 months to secure a host business, at which point we'll consult with our staff and discuss options.
"In the meantime, we're committed to supporting them through these changes."
However, Andrews also said it was the new business not New Zealand Post that would employ the staff at the new shop.
"The franchise will provide the services, so it will be their employees who will work there to provide them.
"They will go through all the same checks and training that our staff go through. They will also be in the same [post office] uniform."
Onslow-Western ward councillor Andy Foster said he had been informed about the proposal, but was surprised by it.
The shop was always busy and he used it often himself, he said.
Lambton ward councillor Iona Pannett said the current postal trends meant it was not surprising, but she was concerned about job losses.
Karori PostShop user Jannah Dennison said she was surprised by the move, but that it would not necessarily be a bad thing.
"This is a really big suburb and the shop is busy. I use it all the time for personal and business banking and post," she said.
"It depends, because if they have the basic banking and post services then it will be OK for me.
"However, if it gets smaller and busier then that would be really annoying."
Another parton, Jian Yu, said the move would be good only if it did not move far.
"It's a good location and convenient for everything," he said.
"If it moved over the road, then fine, but any further than that would be annoying. I don't want it to move out of the area."
Thorndon PostShop user Lynn Black said it would be a shame if the store changed.
"It would be different if it wasn't right here. I don't do things like internet banking. I like to come down here and do it.
"I like the walk and interacting with people."
The move would be different to what took place in 2011, when the Miramar PostShop closed and moved to a smaller post-only model inside the New World supermarket, Andrews said.
Miramar residents fought to keep the shop open and presented New Zealand Post with a 1000-plus signature petition, to no avail.
"At the end of the day we are trying to maintain services in the community," Andrews said.
"In Karori and Thorndon we are looking for a host business that will be able to take over both postal and banking services.
"We're committed to keeping these services in Thorndon and Karori and will not be moving until we are confident we have found a suitable host business."
New Zealand Post has 136 franchises around the country.
All of them have full postal services and Kiwibank, but nine offer only transactional banking, which means more complex banking, such as business banking or home loans, is done through mobile managers, online or through other stores.

Tour of discovery may have ended in tragedy
Relevant offers
Jens Prehn says his son had two main intentions when he came from Germany to New Zealand: to learn as much as possible about the country, and to meet "as many different people as he ever could".
Now 19-year-old Christian Prehn has been missing in unforgiving alpine country for more than a week. He was last seen last Tuesday.
Police began searching for him after a Department of Conservation worker discovered his pack lying beside the track in the Travers Saddle area of Nelson Lakes National Park last weekend.
The saddle is 1787 metres above sea level, and subject to extreme weather conditions. Snow, rain and severe gale-force winds have prevented Search and Rescue teams led by Nelson Bays Search and Rescue Senior Constable Dave Colville from entering the area since Sunday.
During an initial search, three search teams scoured the area, assisted by a helicopter. This morning, Colville said three teams were being flown into the Travers Saddle area. They were equipped for an overnight stay if required.
A police spokesperson said Christian was last seen on February 25. Several other German trampers and members of the public had since come forward to help the police figure out his movements.
Jens Prehn said the family last heard from Christian on February 22, when he was in Golden Bay. He was about to go on a tour, saying he thought this might take him into areas with no cellphone reception for several days.
"Everything seemed to be very fine for him."
Describing Christian as an open-minded and tolerant person who placed great importance on seeing the world, Prehn said his son came to New Zealand last October on a work and travel visa, with the intention of staying for one year. He is from the town of Krefeld, which is northwest of Dusseldorf and near the River Rhine.
Prehn said Christian had initially hoped to traverse both islands as a backpacker, walking from north to south. "Once he arrived there, he decided it might be too big a challenge, so he changed his plans and bought a car to be more mobile and flexible. He wanted to see as many points of interest as possible.
"It was quite logical for him to take this kind of adventure now, since there might be no chance later on to do this."
Christian was a member of a successful music quartet called Multiphonic, in which he played baritone saxophone. Formed in 2007, the quartet has won prizes in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
The quartet toured Portugal at the end of last year.
Prehn said Christian had been close to the other players, saying they were like family members.
"Sure enough, the quartet members and all of the musicians they played with are very concerned about Christian's situation."
He said his son wanted to continue playing music as a hobby while studying towards a career at sea. He hoped to get into naval science or work on board a ship.
Yesterday, the Prehn family had not yet decided whether or when to travel to New Zealand. Prehn said they would want to make the decision "rather spontaneously" if there was a need to go.
"At the moment. we wouldn't be of any help for the search team at the place, so we postponed any plans of that kind."

Kickstarter fundraiser launched to restore sign August 22, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Preservation, Restaurants, Signs.
Tags: Cindy's Coffee Shop, Eagle Rock, Kickstarter, Los Angeles
add a comment
The new owners of Cindy's Eagle Rock Restaurant in Los Angeles have begun a Kickstarter campaign to preserve the historic diner's vintage sign, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Monique King and Paul Rosenbluh bought the restaurant and reopened it in April. And, so far, they seem to be good stewards:
They've kept the original booths, wallpaper and countertops inside, from when the diner opened in 1948, but King says the sign outside is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the mid-century landmark.
"We felt like the luckiest people in the whole universe when we got it," King said. "It's a beautiful sign, it's vintage, original and there is just something so important about preserving it and taking it away from being just a big pigeon roost."
King and Rosenbluh started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the $16,250 they say is needed to restore the sign. The two are hoping to fix the rusted metal, attach a new neon "open" sign, structurally reinforce the sign and replace the sign's letters.
King reiterated the restaurant is keeping the sign, but it simply doesn't have the money now to do it properly. If enough people help out, the owners will hire a sign preservationist to do it up right.
Here's the campaign, with all the goodies detailed:

New statues coming to Route 66 in Illinois August 22, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Attractions, History.

add a comment
A series of new statues and wayside kiosks will be erected in nine towns along Route 66 in Illinois, according to a news release.
The Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway project was paid for by grants from National Scenic Byway Program and the Illinois Office of Tourism. The new kiosks and statues add to the 31 wayside exhibits and 14 "experience hubs" already up on the Mother Road.
Two-dimensional iron structures, called "shadow statues," show a scene from Route 66. They are:
- Godley: Miner and Mule – An interpretation of strip-mining coal operations in Braidwood, Coal City, Carbon Hill, Diamond, and Godley until the mid-1970s.
- Elwood: Rosie the Riveter – A symbol of the female worker during World War II at the Elwood Arsenal factory.
- Pontiac: Motorcycle Police – At the historic Illinois State Police headquarters building, the statue tells of the early days of the Illinois State Police motorcycle patrol (pictured above).
- McLean: Dixie Gas Attendant – It interprets Illinois' oldest truck stop, Dixie Truckers Home, that opened in 1928. It also features the McLean railroad depot.
- Elkhart: Shirley Temple – It tells the story of actress Shirley Temple's visit to the House by the Side of the Road Cafe in 1938.
- Sherman: Wayside Park – It depicts a picnic during Route 66′s heyday at one of its surviving wayside parks.
- Gillespie: Miner – Another coal-mining town, it proved crucial to the development of labor unions.
- Benld: Coliseum Ballroom Dancers – The biggest dance floor between Chicago and St. Louis attracted large crowds, many of them top-name performers. The Coliseum burned down in 2011.
- Staunton: Illinois Traction System – Electrified railways connected travelers before Route 66 became a major highway. The rail lines were phased out by the mid-1950s.

A reader tipped me off about Kingman, Arizona, resident Chris Commisso, who wrote this song and shot the video on the Mother Road in Kingman.
It seems to be a mix of jazz, hip-hop and 1960s lounge. I like it a lot.

Folk singer Woody Guthrie's many links to Route 66 have been long documented.
However, this excellent clip by filmmaker Aric Allen shows that Los Angeles played a crucial role in Guthrie's road to fame in 1937.
Amazingly, many of the places where Guthrie hung around in L.A. still exist, as this film shows.

How did the Kingman Route 66 festival do? August 20, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Events, Towns.
Tags: Edwardsville, International Route 66 Festival, Kingman
1 comment so far
The answer: Pretty well; thanks for asking.
The town of Kingman, Arizona, hosted the annual International Route 66 Festival for the first time last weekend. I've cobbled together some highlights from the event:
- Estimated attendance, according to the Kingman Daily Miner newspaper, was 6,000, which was in line with forecasts.
- About 60 percent of festival attendees were out-of-towners.
- Businesses reported a sizable increase in sales over the weekend.
- More than 1,000 went into Beale Celebrations downtown to check the work of Route 66 authors, artists, and collectors. A good roundup about it may be found here.
- General chatter from other Route 66 and Kingman Internet groups was very positive for the festival.
- Nearly 200 people attended the Route 66 Crossroads conference of speakers Friday and Saturday at Mohave County Administration Building. It also totaled 3,000 hits on YouTube's live stream on Friday. The speeches are archived on YouTube here and here.
- Hundreds were at Locomotive Park for concerts, including by the Route 66-themed Road Crew from Tennessee.
- About 500 attended a sock hop and drive-in movie at the fairgrounds.
- The Hilltop Motel in Kingman was honored by the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program for its preservation efforts.
- The 2015 International Route 66 Festival will be hosted by Edwardsville, Illinois, in late October, coinciding with the city's popular Halloween festivities. (Clarification: Route 66 Alliance co-founder Michael Wallis informs me the Edwardsville event hasn't yet officially been named as a host, but the group soon will be negotiating with the city for that purpose.)
"Route 66: The Road Ahead" report released August 20, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Businesses, Events, Preservation.

add a comment
The World Monuments Fund this month released its report on the "Route 66: The Road Ahead" roundtable held in November at Anaheim, California, that involved many movers and shakers of the Route 66 community.
The 67-page Acrobat document can be read in its entirety here. I commend it to your attention.
Much of the report dovetails from the Route 66 Economic Impact Study (you can read the summary here). But the roundtable produced its own highlights:
- Stakeholders see an urgency — and an opportunity — with the National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program expiring in 2019 and Route 66′s centennial in 2026. The implication is the Route 66 community needs a central organization that can dole out preservation grants much as the NPS program does now.
- Vintage motels can tap into a niche market of so-called "heritage tourists" and those who want a vintage-Route 66 experience.
- A missed opportunity is attracting a growing number of Hispanics — especially since the proportion of such populations on the Mother Road is twice as high as the national average. Stakeholders said Route 66 also needs to attract other minorities, such as American Indians — which have a long history with the highway in the Southwest — and African-Americans.
- Roundtable participants discussed the possible need of Route 66 getting a permanent federal designation, such as a National Historic Trail. More about that idea can be read here.
- President Obama has set a goal of 100 million international visitors in the United States annually by 2021. The U.S. market share of spending by international travelers dropped from 17 percent to 11 percent from 2000 to 2010 — presumably from the effects of 9/11.
- Preservation of vintage roadways and bridges often is overlooked, but must be considered for the benefit of heritage tourists.
- Landscape protection is the third-most important aspect for Route 66 travelers. Route 66′s open spaces are under threat from wind farms, solar farms, oil and gas exploration, cell towers and urban development.
- Route 66 will need to attract the post-baby boom generation, which has no memories of U.S. 66 and less spending money than their forebears. However, the movie "Cars" and smartphones have provided a way to tap into that market.
And the report saw fit to print the entire text of a speech by the mayor of Pontiac, Illinois, Bob Russell. He told a lot of interesting things about how Route 66 benefits his town, and they may prove applicable to your town as well:
As the mayor of a community that is located on the route, I have been heavily involved in the promotion of Route 66. It is obvious to me that the only way that our community, and all the communities along the road, will be able to continue to support the route is to look at it as an economic development opportunity. Even though the City of Pontiac has had great success in this endeavor, there is continuing resistance from taxpayers, and understandably so in this economy. It is very difficult for our residents to understand how tourism can benefit our city when they live on streets that are in need of repair. Our passion alone will not be enough to be make this a successful endeavor. Our state and federal governments are poised to continue cutting the funds that we receive from them to provide the necessary day to day services that our residents expect. In light of this, it has forced us in Pontiac to take our fate into our own hands. The only available option for us has been the promotion of tourism that Route 66 has afforded.
In an economic era when many of the communities in Illinois are boarding up their storefronts, our city has achieved almost 100% occupancy in our downtown business district. The Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum in Pontiac has created opportunities for other museums to locate to the city, which in turn has convinced restaurant and retail store owners, along with bed and breakfast operators, to move their operations here. I have had to explain to residents for several years now that you do not attract retail stores until you have the foot traffic. Now we have the foot traffic and that indeed has attracted new retail stores, restaurants, and bed and breakfasts. All of the Route 66 development must create additional sales tax and provide for more jobs. Without these two components, we will not be successful in the continued promotion and preservation of Route 66.
The one benefit that we had not anticipated is the investment of wealthy entrepreneurs who visit our city from other countries. The majority of the Route 66 visitors from European and Asian countries are fairly well off financially, and they still view the U.S. as one of the best opportunities for investing their money. As such, we are promoting the availability of land the city owns along our interstate and state highways as good locations for them to invest their money to start new businesses. We have been promoting this idea for the last 25 years with some success, but now have a renewed interest from our Route 66 visitors. The goal of this endeavor is the same as our retail development, and that is to create jobs and tax revenue.
The only promise I made to our residents when they asked me to serve as their mayor was that while I am in office, there will be no increase in our real estate taxes. The development of Route 66 tourism will enable me to keep that promise through the end of my term. The other somewhat hidden components that the Route 66 redevelopment has provided for the City of Pontiac is quality of life and community pride. The opening of new restaurants and shops in our downtown has provided our residents with wonderful places for them to get together with old friends to have a great meal and to just sit and chat with one another and then take a leisurely stroll around from shop to shop. It is always fun for me to see our local residents showing their friends or family around our city and seeing the pride that they have in doing so. Without the development of the Route 66 tourism, I have no doubt that our city would look tired and worn, as so many other communities do.
To make tourism work is not an easy task. The first obstacle for many communities is to get the elected officials to buy into the idea. The majority of them want to be able to see tangible results in a very short period of time. This is nearly impossible to provide, first, because it takes many years to develop, and second, because it is very difficult to quantify. For the City of Pontiac to make this work, the elected officials, our volunteers, our City Administrator, our Department Head, and all of our employees have all had to go that "extra mile." All of our museum buildings are owned or leased by the city and we are in partnership with all the museum operators. We get a percentage of their income to offset our expenses. There have been thousands of volunteer hours provided by all of the above groups to get the museums ready and to keep them staffed. Some of the elected officials volunteer one to two days a week at the museums and some of our residents volunteer at least two to three days a week in helping to curate the museums. I have personally worn out a couple pairs of shoes over the last few years by spending so much time greeting all of our visitors and giving personal tours to various groups. If a municipality wants to be successful in developing tourism, they must put together a very dedicated team that is willing to work tirelessly to get it off the ground. Is it all worth it?
The answer is yes. The results for our city have been more than I, or anyone involved, could have ever imagined. The word that I keep hearing used in describing our community is "energy." Many of our visitors tell me that there seems to be a lot of energy here, and there is. The people who love their community will put in as much energy as it takes to make their community a better place to live. I believe that we have just seen the beginning of the development of Route 66 tourism as an economic development tool. So many people from so many countries are just learning about it, and I am continually being told by our visitors that everyone from their country wants to make the trip.
We now have the opportunity as communities to grasp it by working together to promote it. I believe the strategic roundtable that World Monuments Fund sponsored was the best opportunity we have had to make this happen. Let's do it!
BLM wants man to remove veterans memorial August 20, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Attractions, People.
Tags: Oatman, Oatman veterans memorial
2 comments
A man who finished a small memorial to U.S. veterans three years ago just off Oatman Road (aka Route 66) near Oatman, Arizona, has been ordered to remove it by an official with the Bureau of Land Management, reported the Mohave Valley Daily News.
The veterans' memorial is reached by a series of stone stairs leading up to two stone pedestals, one of which houses two flags — a solar-powered light illuminates the flags at night — and the other which holds the remains of a destroyed donation box Hicks cemented in place.
Over the past four years, the memorial has attracted traffic by word of mouth and on Internet sites such as the Arizona Office of Tourism and gokingman.com. Visitors post photos of their trip to the memorial on Flickr, Pinterest and their own blogs. Motorcycle clubs, veterans groups and individual travelers of Route 66 share directions to get to the structure, and businesses in Oatman sport photos of its construction.
But now the BLM has ordered the memorial off the site and onto private property, even though the agency knew about it when Hicks was still building it four years ago.
Hicks refused, and he's probably got a good case on why he can — a recent battle over a war memorial in the Mojave National Preserve ended with the U.S. Supreme Court allowing it. Also, the newspaper explained:
Agencies like the BLM are required by law to balance the use of public lands — whether for activities like mining, maintaining roads and trails for recreation or providing opportunities for hunting and fishing — along with conserving land and water for wildlife and for the enjoyment of future generations.
The question of whether the agencies always find the right balance is an open one. They are, however, bound by laws in place to protect both the present and future needs of public interest and the natural resources the agencies manage.
"While the memorial is for veterans, it is important for all concerned to know that the Bureau of Land Management Kingman Field Office means no disrespect to veterans and fully understand that at times the public would like to construct a memorial or shrine to offer homage to those that have given their lives for the freedoms we all enjoy," said Sanchez. "This is precisely why Congress approves memorials that represent the sentiments of this country for all our men and women in uniform."
Individuals considering building a structure on BLM land would need to go to the BLM office with a proposal and apply for an authorization, said Sanchez. Such structures are guided by a federal land use permit under 43 Code of Federal Regulations 2920.
A bartender at the Oatman Hotel in Oatman has started a petition to stop the memorial's destruction or movement. About 120 people had signed when the article was published, and more undoubtedly have been added to the list.
If I were the BLM, I never would have filed the objection. It's a sincere, small and tasteful monument, and it's earned respect from locals and tourism agencies. Hicks owns a sizable advantage of legal precedent. Even if he wanted to move it the stone and concrete structure, Hicks says his health now is too poor to do so.
And the BLM didn't bother to check into the memorial when Hicks was building it four years ago. At the least, this seems like a "snooze, you lose" for the feds.
For the sake of good public relations and common sense, the BLM ought to quietly and promptly issue a press release allowing Hicks to keep his veterans monument and be done with it. Petty stuff like the current situation enlarges the already-large pile of stuff that gives the federal government a bad name.

STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Services Group (ISG) (NASDAQ: III), a leading technology insights, market intelligence and advisory services company, today released research from two separate sources showing the continued growth of cloud computing in outsourcing industry activity.
In its third-quarter survey of service providers, ISG Research found more than half of all respondents reported cloud computing is now a feature of at least 25 percent of their pipeline opportunities. The majority of respondents said they expected cloud services to grow faster than traditional IT outsourcing functions, predominantly driven by opportunities in the U.S. market.
"Clearly, cloud is a disruptive trend in the enterprise, and we predict that this disruption will not only continue, but accelerate, especially for the traditional IT service providers," said Stanton Jones, Analyst, Emerging Technology, ISG."From well-known software vendors to more nimble mid-market players and emerging pure-play infrastructure and SaaS providers, traditional IT service providers face significant pressure in nearly every direction."
Industry-wide, the number of outsourcing contracts with cloud in scope has risen steadily along the same trajectory, from 110 in 2010 to 220 in 2011, according to an analysis of recent TPI Index data. Anticipating a continuation of this trend, ISG Research projects 300 contracts featuring cloud computing will be awarded by the end of 2012.
"Cloud services, especially shared platforms, are a new terrain for providers and clients alike, as they are highly standardized, and can't be easily customized -- the antithesis of traditional outsourcing," Jones said.
"Although the rate of adoption isn't consistent across cloud categories, we're seeing the greatest potential for growth and momentum in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – especially for Human Resources, Customer Relationship Management and collaboration. We project that Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) will lag behind SaaS in terms of enterprise-wide adoption."

I used a pattern from Burda Magazine #1/ 2011 for this dress. The pattern was a bit weird, especially the skirt bit. When I first tried the half-ready dress on, I looked like a snowman. The reason for that was that the skirt bit, was very wide on top and narrow on the bottom. As the top bit had some gathering on the waistline as well as the skirt, the overall image was really buffy. To avoid this "snowman" look (you can see that on the last picture), I turned the skirt upside down – connected the narrower bottom bit to the top of the dress. That worked out pretty good in the end.
I used some silky material that I found from an op shop close to my work.

Thanks for posting, I have that Burda magazine and thought of making this dress. It's sometimes difficult to get a good idea of a pattern from their photos, in this case a sitting model :) maybe her skirt looked bulky too.

your dress si so pretty, thanks for the skirt tip, I want to try this pattern, so I will definitely do the same adjustment.

Beautiful! Good work(:

The Pastels' Stephen Pastel
Glasgow indie pop forefather talks Bowie, Buzzcocks, Beat Happening.
By Ryan Dombal , August 21, 2009
Welcome to 5-10-15-20, where we talk to artists about the music they loved at five-year interval points in their lives. Maybe we'll get a detailed roadmap of how their tastes and passions helped make them who they are. Maybe we'll just learn that they really liked hearing the "A-Team" theme song over and over when they were kids. Either way, it'll be fun.
For this edition, we spoke with 46-year-old frontman for Glasgow indie pioneers the Pastels, Stephen McRobbie, aka Stephen Pastel.
Percy Faith and his Orchestra: "Theme From A Summer Place"
I remember hearing that on the radio on Sunday afternoons when my mom was baking scones. It's light orchestral, kind of easy listening-- but there's something slightly melancholy about it.
I listened to it in this empty cupboard that I used to hang out in. I thought it was my car. My parents would say, "Go and play in your cupboard." But I wasn't being punished, it was freedom of choice.
David Bowie: "Starman"
A lot of Bowie's 45s seemed epic and they were at the top of the charts for what felt like all summer-- and they were really brilliant songs. I didn't particularly identify with him; a lot of people I went to school with were really into Bowie and dressed up in his various styles. I didn't have the whole Ziggy Stardust thing going on.
In the 70s, I liked some things on the charts-- a lot of people at school were really into progressive music like Yes but I never liked that at all. The kids that were into prog were snobs and they looked down on stuff like Bowie, which they considered rudimentary or cheap or for girls. They would graffiti Yes's name really painstakingly across their textbooks. I thought those guys were losers.
Buzzcocks: Spiral Scratch EP
At that age, I felt quite blank in a way, so I was ready for something I could really hang onto. That's when I started collecting Rough Trade singles and other early DIY releases and fanzines. I had a complete sense everything was changing, the music was completely opening up for everyone.
This was in the late 70s and I really loved the Buzzcocks. One of my first concerts was seeing them with Joy Division in '79 in Glasgow. At that point, people felt like the Buzzcocks weren't at their peak but I didn't care-- I enjoyed them more than Joy Division, who were great, too. I got Pete Shelley's autograph after the show and he was very gentle. I totally bought into the idea that there was no barrier between audience and performer.
The Velvet Underground
That's when I was really listening to a lot of the New York punk stuff. I appreciated that you could pick up the guitar and jam along to Velvet Underground songs because they weren't super complex in terms of chord structures. What was brilliant was the rhythm, the way it was recorded, and the intensity of the vocals.
The Pastels were really influenced by the primitive drumming in the Velvet Underground-- Maureen Tucker is an absolute innovator. In Glasgow we started meeting other people in groups like the Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream and the Velvet Underground just became really influential in that scene. Everybody took different things from them.
I imagine we were more accessible to people than someone like Lou Reed, who I would imagine is quite inaccessible. But I'm always surprised by our image because none of us are twee in the slightest-- we really hate it. At the time, there was a certain pomposity of Glasgow groups like Simple Minds and we just went against that. In some respects, being polite was subversive.
Beat Happening: Beat Happening
The Pastels played a couple shows with them and I was completely struck-- it made me think that we were striving to make some weird pop single and they were really powerful and simple and heavy. And also funny. A lot of the groups we knew were more about going into the studio and trying to make the best record they could, but Beat Happening's live show was as good as their records. They were unbeatable live. And Calvin Johnson was a real frontperson-- most of the groups we knew didn't have one of those. I thought it was really inspiring that Calvin had K Records and they controlled all their own catalog, too.
Dobie Gray: "Out on the Floor"
I had this compilation called Out on the Floor that had stuff like Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love" and Dobie Gray's "Out on the Floor". I started getting into 1960s soul and there was a period in Glasgow where soul clubs became really popular. Some guys would dress up and do these really fancy dance moves-- it was a way of life for them.
I never got into the look of it or anything, myself. I've always felt comfortable in my own identity so I didn't feel a massive need to dress like a punk or a soul singer or whatever it was. A lot of the music I really liked was made by people who looked kind of normal.
Nuno Canavarro: Plux Quba
Jim O'Rourke had an imprint on Drag City for a while called Moikai and he reissued this Portuguese electronic record. All the sounds were fresh. It was like early 80s electronic music, but also very kind of delicate and filled with chance-taking. It's still one of my favorite records.
Around the time we had done a soundtrack for a film The Last Great Wilderness and I had been listening to quieter music and things like Brian Eno, and I liked a lot of the electronic music coming out of Germany. I thought big stuff like Oasis and Blur was ok, but I always knew there was other music that was more interesting.
Maher Shalal Hash Baz
I was really into Japanese music at this point. In some ways, the music from there reminded me of things like Beat Happening-- just this really rich scene that didn't seem so influenced by everything else. We had our label, Geographic, and we were releasing groups that we found and loved like Maher Shalal Hash Baz.
They were so unique when we found out about them we couldn't really believe their story: The leader, Tori, worked as a porter and they had been involved in this extreme anti-government movement in the 1980s. They'd been investigated by the Japanese government, but their music was so triumphant and optimistic. It opened the door to a whole new world for us.
Real Estate: "Fake Blues"
I like a lot of the music coming out of America recently, like Ducktails, Real Estate, and Crystal Stilts. I heard about Real Estate because we've got a record shop in Glasgow and one of the people who works there told us about them. They reminded me of Orange Juice and Pavement, but they really have their own identity, too.
I think there's a real coherent thread from Swell Maps and Television Personalities through to things like Blank Dogs, caUSE co-MOTION!, Vivian Girls, and the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Listening to new bands, I get a sense of dĂŠjĂ vu-- and not always in a good way. But if the Pastels were still trying to play the kind of music we played in 1985 or 1986, I would probably feel more territorial-- but then I'd only have myself to blame.

The House Armed Services Committee has voted to build a missile defense site on the East Coast even though the Pentagon says the facility is unnecessary.
The panel rejected an amendment by Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., to eliminate funds for the project. The vote was 33-28 on Wednesday.
The bill calls for construction of the site by the end of 2015 and includes $100 million to study possible sites. Democrats estimated that the project could cost nearly $5 billion.
Pentagon officials told Congress earlier this year that the threats facing the nation do not require a site on the East Coast.
The committee is crafting its version of next year's defense bill. The all-day session was expected to last into the early morning Thursday.

Company subbing chips for scribes
Spotlight: Technology

- Lauren K. Ohnesorge
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
DURHAM – Six hundred a second. No, it's not a measurement of engine speed or hummingbird wing flaps, it's the number of articles that Automated Insights creates each Tuesday for fantasy sports teams everywhere.
Yes, articles, in the way that the story you're reading now is an article.
"We take data and turn it into stories automatically," CEO Robbie Allen says.
"We," in the case of that quote, being the company's proprietary software, along with some human touches. "Our technology humanizes big data sets by spotting patterns, trends and key insights and describing those findings in plain English that is indistinguishable from that produced by a human writer," says AI's website.
Grown to this point by more than $5 million in venture equity from N.C. Idea Fund Partners, BoxGroup, OCA Ventures and Court Square Ventures, AI recently gained some national buzz by signing a deal with giant Yahoo in which it provides game recaps and other articles for millions of people who manage their fantasy sports teams through the Yahoo website.
AI, originally called StatSheet, uses a system of algorithms, as well as stylistic techniques from writers on staff, to create unique content. Originally, the company had hoped to publish the content itself. Allen, who started AI while working for Cisco Systems, soon saw more benefit in partnering with other companies that already had built audiences.
It takes about two hours and more than 100 servers to generate the millions of recaps. "We're focused on personalized content."
By producing articles specifically relevant to a reader, Allen says AI is actually reducing what is read. "You have to read a lot of stuff to be able to get the information you need," he says of traditional net news grabbing. "If more content was personalized, you could read less content."
Lauren Ohnesorge covers information technology and entrepreneurship.

It mimics serotonin and dopamine buthas negative longtermeffects

If not abused it can be a useful tool to aid in anxiety 'disorders' but it should accompany communication, healthy diet, exercise, and fun. And more natural sources of mdma can be less damaging to the liver and brain but not necessarily.

U of L receives $10 million gift from single donor
By Simon Isham–
University of Louisville President James Ramsey today announced a $10 million dollar gift to the university. It is one of the largest gifts from a single donor in school history.
The gift, which will be paid over three to five years, came from alumnus J.D. Nichols, chairperson of NTS Realty Holdings. Ramsey also took the opportunity to announce that the Nucleus Downtown Innovation Park would be honorarily known as the J.D. Nichols Campus for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
"Instead of talking about myself, I'm going to talk about James Ramsey. If it wasn't for Jim (Ramsey), I wouldn't be standing here today, and if it wasn't for the education I received at the University of Louisville, I wouldn't be standing here either," said Nichols, when asked about his gift. "And if it weren't for my partner Brian Lavin, I wouldn't have been able to write the check."
Nichols said that the gift was not in support of any particular cause, but could rather be used however Ramsey felt it should.
Nichols was previously a trustee on U of L's board, and was instrumental in working with the Louisville Regional Airport Authority, to make Louisville an international hub for UPS. Several students now work for UPS part-time to finance their U of L educations.
Ramsey and U of L Board of Trustees Chairperson Robert Hughes spoke briefly about Nichols' accomplishments before recessing the press conference for refreshments.
The announcement was made this afternoon at The Nucleus, the university's entrepreneurial management and consulting arm.
