Jazzie Collins: forever fighting the good fight
Dedicated trans rights and economic equality activist Jazzie Collins passed away this week. She was honored in June in the State Assembly for LGBT History Month, and was on the board of the annual Trans March, among many other honors and activities. There will be a legacy party and fundraiser for Jazzie's end-of-life expenses at El Rio tomorrow, Sat/13, 3pm-8pm. Below is a remembrance from her good friend Tommi Avicolli Mecca.
Some people die, but they remain with you for the rest of your life. Death just can't keep them away.
Such a person is Jazzie Collins, African American transgender woman and tireless fighter for social and economic justice for tenants, seniors, people with disabilities, the homeless, those without healthcare, LGBT folks, and so many others. An organizer of the annual Trans March and co-chair of the city's LGBT Aging Policy Task Force, she recently received an award from the LGBT caucus of the state assembly for her many years of activism.
Born in Memphis, Jazzie, 54, died in the early morning hours of July 11 at Kaiser Hospital, leaving a huge hole in the heart of San Francisco.
I don't remember when I first met Jazzie. I'm pretty certain it was at one of the countless demos in the late 90s we attended to protest the displacement of working-class and poor people during the dot-com boom. She was involved in so much of the incredible activism happening in the Mission at that time, whether it involved feeding people from Mission Agenda's food pantry, planning direct action with the Mission AntiDisplacement Coalition, or helping elect fellow activist Chris Daly as the neighborhood's district supervisor.
Our paths crossed often, sometimes at the monthly meetings of Senior Action Network (now Senior Disability Action) where she worked, or a tenants rights demo on the steps of City Hall just before we went inside to take advantage of our two minutes at the mic during public comment. Jazzie was never at a loss for words.
One of the original members of QUEEN (Queers for Economic Equality Now), she helped organize several protests, including one outside the store run by the Human Rights Campaign in the Castro. We were furious that the national gay rights group pushed to exclude transgender people from ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act), the federal gay employment rights bill.
When a call went out from the Board of Supervisors for its newly formed LGBT Aging Policy Task Force, Jazzie called me and told me in no uncertain terms that I had to apply. She had already sent in her application and wanted to make sure another strong housing advocate was on the task force.
We sat together at the hearing, waiting for our chance to sell ourselves to the supervisors. After we were both appointed, and as we left the room, Jazzie started talking about what she wanted the task force to do, especially on housing issues. She was always a woman with a vision. Or a cause.
Jazzie called me whenever there was something to be done. She'd say, "We gotta do something about this." It didn't matter how busy I was. I knew I could never say no to her.
Jazzie, my sister, wherever you are now, I know you'll always be beside me when I'm out there fighting the good fight.
Thanks for this beautiful write up.
Jazzie's passion and commitment to community made SoMa better for all of its blessed residents. I'll miss her smile and opinions at community meetings for sure.
Our neighborhoods are richer for having had Jazzie on our side for as long as we did and are poorer in her absence. People like Jazzie don't come around very often, we were fortunate to have had the chance to work with her.
Thank you for honoring Jazzie Collins. She was my neighbor and good friend. I was shocked to hear of her passing, as many of us didn't know that she was having a health crisis. I'm so sad to have lost my friend. Jazzie was always talking about helping others and issues of socio-economic equaliity, racism, and trans/homo phobia. She supported me as a person undergoing my own gender transition.
Our community has suffered a huge loss without Jazzie's leadership and voice to speak up for the disenfranchised. I love you, Jazzie. Thank you for all you've done to help others. I will miss you very much and I'm very sad that you're no longer with us. Rest in Peace, and may you continue to walk in love and light.
Beautiful. Thank you for your honoring of our sister with your words. She will be missed. Rest in Power Jazzie.
I met Jazzie Collins along time ago. No this is not the end of the story for our Jazzie because when you meet her for the first time your heart begins to build a room for her in yours. Jazzie was always bigger than life and so therefore I had to give her more space in my heart. I am sure this is true for friend and foe alike of Jazzie. The light of justice is held high for all to see by the statue of liberty in the New York city harbor. I hope you had the chance to meet Jazzie Collins than you will know she is and was and always shall always be our statue of liberty. Rest In Peace My Lady Jazzie
I cant make it tomorrow. Is there a link or address to contribute to her end of life expenses if we can't make the event tomorrow?
Very sad to hear of her passing. She was a great spirit.
Francesca Rosa
Never miss a chance to grab a spotlight do ya Tommi?
to be an asshole? Do ya loser troll.
From the Facebook invitation for the event: "If you want to help, but cannot make it to the event, we have set up an Indiegogo campaign for online contributions:
such a hardworking lady! you will be missed.. thank you for your work on west soma..
Really shocked about this. Jazzie was a good friend of mine.... Jazzie wherever you are just wanna say all the good times will always be remembered in my heart regardless of any differences. Peace.
thank you Tommi for your words and work with Jazzie that continue to help those most in need of our humanity and help.
As an activist and community events photographer, I also have crossed paths with Jazzie many times over the years. I was impressed with her the very first time I met her and my respect for her and her work has only grown over the years.
I am still in a state of shock about her sudden passing.
The link below leads to some photos I took of a presentation she and James Chionsini gave to the Central City SRO Collaborative.
for such great pictures.
Thanks for this Tommi.
This is sad news.
What a character Jazzie was whenever I saw her at a rally or protest or hearing or community meeting, or just hanging out. Thanks, Tommi for doing our comrade justice with this essay.
She was a friend who always found something positive to say about my advocacy, or wanted me to be at one of her events.
I well remember her anger and righteousness when the trans folks got screwed over by the Human Rights Campaign on the ENDA push a few years ago.
Jazzie was fierce and she is missed!!
Fare thee well sistah. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. We will carry on, the struggles continue - though yours are done. All love. Pat.
Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bhodisvaha.
Whether here in US or seen in my work abroad, it is always the queens and daggers, the "trannies," the ones who can't or won't pass that lead the way and take the biggest risks. All too often they are ignored or, like HRC, rejected from more " mainstream" queers. Thank you Sister Jazzie for your guts and helping others to first love themselves. "Don't Mourn. Organize."
Catherine, Jazzie showed us that such prejudices do not necessarily hold in San Francisco. She was out as she was, out on her terms, made no efforts to accommodate anyone else, and was welcomed and supported from all quarters.
Contrary to so many single issue activists, Jazzie did not wallow in victim hood even though she faced and overcame almost all challenges a human could face, she stood up tall and proud, and lived her life as she saw fit, uncompromisingly on her terms.
Unlike many who did not face the challenges that she did, Jazzie did not come unhinged whenever someone disagreed with her and hold that as a comforting talisman to cover latent insecurity as is common with others. She did not take disagreement as a personal attack.
This means to me that she was more secure in her being than many others in politics, a self confidence forged in the crucible of growing up facing myriad challenges that most of us will never experience.
Middle class white folks just don't get this unless we've grown up facing similar challenges, such as growing up as a minority queer in the south, an experience I shared part of with Jazzie.
Unlike so many who are better equipped cognitively, better educated, from better means, Jazzie was secure in her being that she could agree to disagree without being disagreeable.
There was no sentimental violin following Jazzie throughout her life playing "my heart bleeds for you." She realized more than most that the elites are at war with us, and carried herself like an combat promoted officer leading her platoon into battle.
(sigh) Jazzie. Direct. No BS. hard working. Lively. A comrade for justice.
Whether I saw her at the Mission Agenda food pantry, Daly's campaigns, housing efforts, Jazzie brought her own energy to the fight and it was always good to see her.
I can't help but smile thinking about her.
How many times I ran into her and it was about what she was doing, which was always a lot of activities.
Thank you for your sunshine that warmed friends and collegues, shined the light of freedom and broiled those in power and who would deny others.
Peace, Jazzie

Survival stories emerge from the South, Midwest after deadly tornadoes scar hundreds of miles
EAST BERNSTADT, Ky. (AP) -- The stories from tornado survivors across the South and Midwest were remarkable: schoolchildren took cover under desks, people hunkered down in a church basement or hid out in a bank vault. One family even piled on top of one another for protection.
One story had yet to be told. A toddler was found alive and alone in a field near her Indiana home. Her four immediate family members were among at least 38 people killed by tornadoes that scarred communities scattered across hundreds of miles of the nation's midsection from Alabama to Indiana.
In Kentucky farming country, people talked about friends and family members who were killed in the most powerful storms to hit the eastern part of the state in nearly a quarter-century. Tracy Pitman said she was at home with her husband and 4-year-old grandson when a tornado with winds of up to 130 mph hit.
"I grabbed my baby and I said, 'Baby, lay down' and I got on top of him and my husband got on top of me and it was already happening, just flipping us over and over and over," said Pitman, of East Bernstadt, Ky., a small town 70 miles south of Lexington.
As the accounts were passed around, emergency officials trudged with search dogs past knocked-down cellphone towers and ruined homes looking for survivors in rural Kentucky and Indiana, marking searched roads and homes with orange paint. President Barack Obama offered federal assistance.
With win in hand, Romney looks ahead to Super Tuesday's contests from Alaska to Massachusetts
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Washington state victory in hand, Mitt Romney is looking ahead to Tuesday's 10-state bonanza that features contests from Alaska to Ohio to Massachusetts, millions in campaign spending and the largest single day of voting yet in the Republicans' topsy-turvy primary race.
The former Massachusetts governor won Saturday night's low-turnout caucuses, adding another win to his tally and gaining momentum in his drive to the GOP nomination. Leading in delegates to the GOP's national convention, Romney looked to defend his front-runner standing even while rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul sought to keep their candidacies afloat.
"The voters of Washington have sent a signal that they do not want a Washington insider in the White House. They want a conservative businessman who understands the private sector and knows how to get the federal government out of the way so that the economy can once again grow vigorously," Romney said in a statement Saturday night before heading to Sunday campaign stops in Georgia and Tennessee.
Rick Santorum, in search of his first wins since Feb. 7, urged Ohio Republicans not to heed those who cast Romney as the inevitable nominee. He said the race was far from over, even as he was locked in a tight race in Washington state for second place with Paul.
"We need someone who can go out and make the case, not with the most money, but with the best ideas, the best vision, the best track record," Santorum said in Bowling Green, Ohio. "Go out and make this election about big things."
Limbaugh apologizes to law student for insult on sex, says he intended no personal attack
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh apologized Saturday to a Georgetown University law student he had branded a "slut" and "prostitute" after fellow Republicans as well as Democrats criticized him and several advertisers left his program.
The student, Sandra Fluke, had testified to congressional Democrats in support of their national health care policy that would compel her college to offer health plans that cover her birth control.
"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir," Limbaugh said on his website. "I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
Attempts to reach Fluke by telephone and e-mail were unsuccessful.
Fluke had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school's health care plan that does not include contraception. Republican lawmakers barred her from testifying during that hearing, but Democrats invited her back and she spoke to the Democratic lawmakers at an unofficial session.
Investigation opens in Poland after trains collide head on killing 15 and injuring 56
WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Two trains running on the same track collided head-on in southern Poland late Saturday, leaving 15 people dead and 56 injured -- the country's worst train disaster in more than 20 years.
Several of the passengers were foreigners, including people from Ukraine, Spain and France, but none of them appeared to be among the dead or badly injured, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.
An unnamed passenger interviewed on the all-news station TVN24 said he felt the force of the collision.
"I hit the person in front of me. The lights went out. Everything flew," he said. "We flew over the compartment like bags. We could hear screams. We prayed."
Rescue workers were bringing in heavy equipment Sunday to try and free a corpse from the mangled wreckage of the train, while the injured are being treated in several area hospitals. A doctor in one, Szymon Nowak, said many of the injured were in a serious condition, with some in artificially induced comas.
Polls open in election expected to return Putin to Russian presidency
MOSCOW (AP) -- Monitored by web cameras and a network of volunteer civilian observers, Russians voted Sunday in presidential elections expected to return Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin.
By midday in Moscow, the independent elections watchdog group had recorded more than 1,000 complaints of irregularities across the country, ranging from questionable voter registration lists to nonfunctioning web cameras to buses believed to be carrying so-called "carousel voters" from precinct to precinct.
The veracity of the complaints could not immediately be determined, but their large number is likely to bolster opposition supporters' suspicion that the election was unfair.
Allegations of widespread vote fraud in last December's parliamentary elections set off an unprecedented wave of massive protests against Putin, who has remained Russia's paramount leader despite stepping down from president to prime minister four years ago due to term limits.
The protests, the largest public show of anger in post-Soviet Russia, demonstrate growing frustration with corruption and political ossification in Putin's Russia. But despite the increased dismay, opinions polls have shown Putin positioned to easily defeat four other candidates and return to the post he held in 2000-2008.
BP avoids potentially costly trial, sets up potential settlement of remaining oil spill claims
NEW YORK (AP) -- BP's multibillion-dollar settlement with people and businesses harmed by its 2010 oil spill removes some uncertainty about the potential financial damages it faces. It also may help the company restore its all-important relationship with the federal government.
Although the oil company still has a few major legal and financial hurdles to overcome nearly two years after the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the tentative settlement with plaintiff's lawyers sends important signals to investors, Gulf Coast states and federal regulators.
Where once it seemed conceivable that BP's spill-related costs could reach $200 billion, lawyers and industry analysts now say that figure will likely be less than a quarter that amount. If the class-action lawsuit by victims had gone to trial, BP could have faced much higher costs along with the embarrassment of having to publicly rehash the mistakes that led to the spill.
The settlement, which BP estimates will cost $7.8 billion, also shows its willingness to pay a huge sum to resolve issues related to the spill. That may improve its standing with the federal government, which controls access to oil reserves that are critically important to BP's future.
"The only trial I thought we would see in this case is the one that just went away," said David Uhlmann, a University of Michigan law professor who once headed the Justice Department's environmental crimes section.
Red Cross pushing to enter embattled area in Syrian city days after getting permission
BEIRUT (AP) -- Officials with the Red Cross say they are trying to get into a particularly hard hit area of the Syrian city of Homs but it could be days before they are allowed in.
Shueib Shaaban from the Syrian branch of the Red Cross said Sunday that the group had agreed with the governor of Homs to enter the Baba Amr neighborhood on Tuesday.
Another official with the Red Cross, Saleh Dabbakeh, said the group hoped to enter Sunday.
Syrian troops seized Baba Amr from rebels Thursday after a siege that activists say killed hundreds.
The Red Cross sent aid to Homs Friday after receiving permission from Syrian authorities, but the army then barred their entry to Baba Amr, citing security concerns.
Campaigning in Ohio, Rick Santorum pushes social agenda and worries some supporters
LIMA, Ohio (AP) -- Rick Santorum sees an America in need of more than economic recovery, warning Saturday that the nation's inattention to conservative social values is "damning people."
"Folks if we know what works, why don't we talk about what works? Why don't we encourage it in our schools? Why don't we encourage it in our culture?" the Republican presidential candidate asked hundreds of people gathered at the Allen County Lincoln Day dinner. "Why are we damning people? Why are we condemning them to a life just because we won't talk about -- we'll talk about childhood obesity until the cows come home. But we won't talk about one of the great underlying causes of childhood obesity, which is the instability of the community, the neighborhood and the family."
Campaigning across Ohio this weekend, the former Pennsylvania senator has been calling for fewer children born out of wedlock and fewer single-parent families. He argues that communities where mothers raise children by themselves have less freedom than those where two-parent families are the norm.
The comments underscore Santorum's commitment to social issues, which helped define his 16-year congressional career and distinguish his candidacy from that of rival Mitt Romney. Despite a pro-choice past, Romney is now just as socially conservative as his opponent on paper, but the former Massachusetts governor has almost singularly focused on the economy while campaigning.
By contrast, Santorum's views on morality sometimes overshadow his prescriptions for the nation's economy. And some Republicans -- even among the hundreds waving signs at Santorum's rally in Blue Ash Saturday morning -- fear he's gone too far.
Shooting outside Arizona club leaves 14 wounded; 1 suspect arrested, 2 others sought
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Hundreds of concert-goers waiting outside an Arizona nightclub for a hip-hop show fled in panic as shooting erupted involving three gunmen, leaving at least 14 people wounded. Police arrested one suspect and were hunting two others.
"People were running in all different directions, and some people were trying to force their way into the bar to get away," police spokesman Lt. Mike Horn said. "It was incredibly chaotic, and understandably so. Again, we're just fortunate that no one was killed."
Two of those wounded late Friday night in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe were in serious condition, while the 12 others had relatively minor injuries, authorities said.
Witness Paul Butler was among the crowd lined up to get into the club to hear Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle perform. Butler told KTVK-TV that he heard a series of pops as the gunfire erupted.
"And you see everybody running, couple more shots, everybody running," Butler said. "It was pure chaos."
Police say 3-year-old Alaska girl died after being locked in frigid bedroom with sister
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A 3-year-old girl from America's northernmost community died and her younger sister suffered hypothermia after their mother and the mother's boyfriend left them in a locked bedroom with a window open to a temperature of minus 30 degrees to air out the room because the girls wet their beds, authorities said.
The mother, 28-year-old elementary teacher Esther G. Edwards-Gust, was apparently on the lam Saturday, a day after she and 29-year-old Richard Tilden Jr. were indicted in the child's death. Tilden was in custody.
The couple shared a home with Edwards-Gust's 1- and 3-year-old daughters in the Inupiat Eskimo community of Barrow.
Police say the two girls last month were trapped overnight in their bedroom with a window open to temperatures that dropped to 30 degrees below zero. Both children were diagnosed with extreme hypothermia and flown to an Anchorage hospital, where the 3-year-old died.
Tilden later told authorities he'd been drinking the night before and opened the bedroom window to air out the room because the girls wet their beds, according to court documents. He also said the door's latch was broken, making it impossible for anyone inside the room to open it.

Lawmakers and Reporters Question Meaning of Leaked USDA Email
An email from a USDA field officer is said to support claims that the President is trying to make sequestration as painful as possible for political gain. In response to a question on the amount of latitude the field director had in making cuts - USDA's budget office suggested that in making reductions for aquaculture - he needed to make sure he didn't contradict what the administration said the impact would be. The email noted the administration had told Congress APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry without additional funds. Arkansas Representative Tim Griffin says this response shows the administration's bid to undermine efforts to replace sequestration cuts with less onerous ones. South Dakota Representative Kristi Noem asked U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack about the email during a House Agriculture Committee hearing Wednesday. Vilsack said where there is flexibility - the department will try to use it to make sure sequester is done in the most equitable and least disruptive way. According to a USDA statement - the field officer suggested an option to avoid furloughs that had already been presented to Congress as part of the Administration's fiscal year 2013 budget proposal and will be included as part of the sequestration plan.

i know that the claim is that nucleosynthesis models say that the observed abundance of deuterium is too high for dark matter to be baryonic, but couldn't deuterium be a waste product of civilizations? you say that postulating civilizations is not the simplest explanation, but isn't it far more complex to postulate that we are unique (or an invisible form of matter with exotic physics for which we have no evidence)? even from a single seed civilization, galactic colonization times are in the hundred million year range, so we should expect some evidence of environmental manipulation everywhere we look. given the need for civilizations to hide from predators, isn't eliminating EM interactions/emissions the best strategy?

Physically, if you look at the low level of CMB anisotropy and the BAO power spectrum, you need some sort of mass that interacts gravitationally but is decoupled from the photons before recombination (i.e. - dark matter). Otherwise there would be no way to seed the galaxy formation that we see occuring at lower redshifts. That is to say, dark matter needs to be primordial, so that it can dodge Silk Damping and provide the graviational "cores" around which galaxies form.
Which would also imply that dark matter cannot be the construct of an alien civilization.
I might be talking non sense, but I'll try arguing with your logic. (Is there any physics to be answered in there?)
You're doing a lot more than just postulating civilization.

'90s Aquarium Beach Party @ A Bar Called Barry.
To celebrate Aqua coming to Oz, A Bar Called Barry hosted a '90s-themed Aquarium beach party where you could win tickets to Aqua's shows by finding bits of dismembered "Barbie Girl". We didn't find any rogue pieces of "Polyester Girl", but luckily we already have tickets.
We all decided to go in costume, which originally consisted of playsuits and floaties, which April and Michelle stayed true to. However, when I went to try on my $10 playsuit from Sportsgirl, it was supremely unflattering, so I decided I wasn't going to go in costume. Then, when I was returning some books to the City Library in Flinders Lane, I decided to pop into Retrostar Vintage Clothing to see if they had any cheap playsuits or old school swimsuits. I did manage to find some vintage shorts for not-so-cheap, but I thought they were fabulous and just had to have them. While I'll probably never wear them to anything but a costume party, I just love them! So my costume strayed a little bit from the colourful playsuit model we originally agreed upon, but retro is a bit more my style anyway.
Getting ready for a beach party.
'90s beach fun!
On the train on the way there some guy approached me and said, "I'm going to out-gay myself here, but you should really keep that Dita Von Teese look you've got going on." We replied by saying we thought he was going to ask us for money! Thanks for the compliment, though, random guy.

In the note, Castro reportedly describes why and how he kidnapped his victims, partially blaming the three young women for getting into his car.
He also reportedly wrote about sex addiction, family problems and troubled childhood.
A reporter for 19 Action News tweeted yesterday some details about how the women were kidnapped. Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight apparently got into Castro's car when he offered them a ride, and Gina DeJesus was tricked because Castro is the father of a friend of hers.

The Connecticut Business and Industry Association has endorsed Republican candidate Christopher Coutu for election to the 19th state Senate District.
"Most voters say jobs and the economy are their top issues," said John R. Rathgeber, CBIA president and CEO. "Connecticut clearly needs lawmakers who can restore business confidence in our state so that employers invest, grow and create jobs here. We believe Chris Coutu is committed to making Connecticut a better state in which to do business, which means more and better jobs for our residents."
CBIA said in the press release that Connecticut is experiencing a "slow recovery" from the recession, which has cost the state 100,000 jobs.
Coutu, who has also been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, welcomed CBIA's support.
"Too many legislators in Hartford forget the simple principle that government doesn't create jobs; people create jobs – hard working men and women willing to take a risk, start a small business, and build something of value," Coutu said. "Sadly, high taxes, big government and over-regulation is making it more difficult to take that risk in Connecticut than in other American states."
Coutu, the current 47th District state representative, faces Democratic Sprague First Selectman Cathy Osten in the 19th District race, which includes the towns of Columbia, Franklin, Hebron, Lebanon, Ledyard, Lisbon, Marlborough, northeastern Montville, Norwich and Sprague.

Maldon: More home to be energy efficient
11:00am Sunday 24th February 2013 in Local News
Even more homes in Maldon could soon be more energy efficient.
The news comes after Moat Property successfully gained almost £40,000 in grant funding from the Energy Saving Trust.
The housing association plans to use the grant to help to finance the second phase of its Air Source Heat Pump project, which helps to improve energy efficiency in "off-grid" homes.
Maldon resident Valerie Foster said: "The new system has absolutely improved our quality of life.
"I don't know how we managed before.
"We even have to turn it down in the evening because it gets too warm."

Last night I attended a launch party for ShopBirmingham.com. It was held at our local brewery, Good People Brewing Company. There was plenty of delicious beer, food, and entertainment. The Alabama Shakes played an amazing show. You're sure to be hearing much about them soon. Those kids rocked the house. Check them out here. My personal favorite was the photobooth they set up. We had a little too much fun. We could've played there all night. Luckily for all of us photo booths are becoming super popular for parties and weddings. There are even several online tutorials on how to make your own. Give it a try at your next party or event. Did you know that photo booths were invented in 1925? I was so excited to find out. I find vintage photos so inspiring. Check out these great snapshots....Got any of your own? I'd love to see.

Gone With The Wind. Duel in the Sun. The Big Country. Giant.
Surely you recognize all those titles. They're the big, colossal white elephants none of us are supposed to like but most of us probably do. They don't get discussed much on the movie blogs because they're big, bloated, melodramas and everyone knows that when discussing melodrama on a movie blog it should be in black and white (but color is allowed for those made in the fifties and anything directed by Douglas Sirk), come in under two hours, and have nothing whatsoever to do with wide-open swaths of land. Think Stella Dallas, The Bad and the Beautiful, and Imitation of Life. If you happen to love melodrama (I do) then you probably already know that it is a sometimes denigrated genre. At the same time everyone still agrees there are some great ones in the mix, like those mentioned two sentences before. But the epic melodramas? Those are the ones we're supposed to make fun of, right? Well... Thing is, I like a lot of them and all this started swirling around in my head thanks to this photo in my possession from 1951:
That's George Stevens, Elizabeth Taylor (duh) and Ivan Moffat, the director, star and associate producer for A Place in the Sun. Later, in 1955, they would work together on Giant, released in 1956. And all of this is simply to say, I like Giant. Yeah, that's pretty much it. There won't be any big write-up on the rules of melodrama and white elephant melodrama and epic weepies. Nope. It's just that when I looked at the photo I remembered how much I liked Giant.
I believe the main strength of Giant lies with George Stevens direction which gives the slow meandering action a steady clipped pace so the viewer doesn't notice that, quite honestly, it's all very slow and meandering. Action and plotwise, nothing much happens in this movie but you wouldn't know it from Stevens direction. He's got the editing and photography down like no other, knowing to keep everything in medium shot 80 percent of the time, pull out to wideshot for isolation metaphors and emotional distance and use the closeup sparingly for menacing impact. And there's not a lot of empty quiet space between shots either. It may be dialogue free for many of those spots but it's not empty because Stevens is focusing on a look, or a leer, from Mercedes McCambridge or James Dean. And Stevens holds all those actors, and their differing styles, together through all of it, achieving a consistency in performance that keeps the viewer from noticing the jarring contrast between the high energy acting of Dean and the laid back delivery of Hudson.
And that takes us to the second strength, the acting. Not only does everyone acquit themselves quite admirably in this (and yes, I do think Rock Hudson is good in it - you got a problem with that?), especially Dean and McCambridge who are both superb, but they do so under the most ridiculous make-up conditions ever imposed on a big budget Hollywood movie. Latex, wigs and putty? Ha! You're joking right? No, no none of that here. Dean, Taylor and Hudson all age by having gray paint sprayed on their heads and someone in the makeup department grabbing a mascara pencil and drawing age lines under their eyes. Yes, fifteen years prior, Orson Welles went through hours of make-up application as he portrayed the aging Charles Foster Kane and somehow, almost two decades later, movie makeup had devolved into browsing the Benjamin Moore aisle at the hardware store and raiding the script girl's makeup bag.
Also, and this is not to be underestimated, Liz and Rock play characters named Leslie and Jordan Benedict, Jr (his nickname is Bick) and Jimmy's character is named Jett Rink. Just try and forget that character name. Go ahead, try. If you never see this movie again for fifty years and someone asks, "Hey, what was James Dean's character's name in Giant?" without breaking your stride you'll confidently reply, "Jett Rink." And then possibly you'll pull up the collar on your leather jacket, comb your hair back and say to your companion, "Let's blow this Popsicle stand." You will do this because just uttering the name "Jett Rink" will make you feel almost unnervingly cool.
And then there's that scene. You know... that scene. The one where Jett shows up covered in oil and starts spouting off to Bick and Leslie that he done struck it big and now he's a gonna be a rich'un, just like they are. And then Leslie tries to act happy for him but he so completely creeps her out that she just wants to run and Bick just wants to smash his face in. Yeah, that scene. Man, that scene rocks.
Finally, there's the finale, and as the first word in this sentence is "finally" I suppose it is only fitting that the last word is "finale." The finale of Jett Rink, drunken and bitter, as he mumbles a bunch of crap by himself in a big conference room that no one could understand anyway even if they had been listening. The lines spoken by Dean were unintelligible since his head was down for most of it and had to be redubbed by Nick Adams after Dean's death.
And lest I forget, Dennis Hopper plays the son of Rock and Liz and his character is named Jordan Benedict III. Seriously, Dennis Hopper plays someone named Jordan Benedict the Third.
So there you have it. Giant is a great big sprawling piece of entertainment with sharp direction, fine performances and a melodramatic script. If you've got the time, it's an enrich'un experience.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Wildcat freshman corner reacts to getting singled out against UNLV.
Hershey Company has unveiled its new corporate logo.
Arizona softball pitchers hurled their third shutout of the season as UA cruised to a 5-0 victory over Grand Canyon in the first game of the Hillenbrand Invitational.
Freshman Michelle Floyd earned her first career start and pitched three innings of one-hit ball. Shelby Babcock (1-0) earned the win in relief, pitching the final four innings and not allowing a run on two hits. The senior walked one and struck out six.
Kellie Fox and Chelsea Goodacre homered in the contest, the second home run of the season for each player. Fox's first-inning solo long ball gave the Cats (4-0) a lead they would not relinquish; Goodacre hit a three-run shot in the third inning.
Fox's homer was one of two hits for the junior, her third multi-hit game on the season. For the year, Fox is 7-for-11 (.636) with two homers and 11 RBI.
Kelsey Rodriguez notched Arizona's remaining RBI with a single that scored her sister Courtney in the second inning.
On the season, Arizona has outscored its opponents 40-2 over four games. Thursday's game was the first that was not ended via the mercy rule.
UA's shutout improved on the stellar team ERA of 0.64.
The Hillenbrand Invitational continues Friday with four games on the docket. Arizona will take on New Mexico at 4:00 p.m. MST.

On the subject of 'jive'
by Malaika Kambon
On June 19, they fought.
Andre Ward won. Again. He won unanimously and decisively. He won all 12 rounds. His scores were 120-108 across the board, from all three judges.
Green was hospitalized after the fight, so he didn't make the post-fight press conference.
No jive.
And Andre Ward? Where is he now?
• He is undefeated in the Super Six Middleweight Boxing Classic Tournament, having won both his Stage 1 and Stage 2 bouts. He leads with a total of 4 points
• He enters Stage 3 as the first boxer to gain a berth as a semi-finalist.
• He is zeroing in on his next WBA title defense and Super Six Boxing Classic fight against 2004 Olympic Bronze Medalist Andre Dirrel on Sept. 25 at a neutral, as yet undisclosed location.
• He is definitely the man to beat in the race to see who will take it all: who will be crowned the Super Six Middleweight World Boxing champion of the world.
Briefly, and for those who do not know:
The Super Six Middleweight Boxing Classic is a revolutionary idea in boxing competition conceived by Showtime cable TV in 2009, designed specifically for WBA and WBC fighters.
There are three group stages to this competition. Each of six championship fighters has one bout each per group stage, where he can win 3 points for a knockout, 2 for a win and/or 1 for a draw.
These are the current standings in the Super Six World Boxing Classic scoreboard going into Group Stage 3:
At the end of Group Stage 3, the remaining four fighters with the highest scores advance to the semi-finals, then to the finals. The winner will be crowned the world's best Super Middleweight and take home the trophy.
So what happens to Allan "Sweetness" Green now? This is a significant question because he and Andre Ward will be fighting on the same Sept. 25, 2010, evening, albeit worlds apart.
Allan Green is the newest addition to the Super Six World Boxing Classic. Replacing Jermain Taylor as a Super Six contender, Green maintained that he was ignored and should have been one of the original six. I'm not so sure.
It would have been a tall order for anyone.
Green didn't think that he could be beaten. He didn't think that he was a long shot. In short, Green didn't think at all.
When he tried (to think, that is), he thought his fluency in "jive" would get him through a tough fight with the man known as Son of God. Mr. Green thought he would be instantly catapulted into WBA title history.
Well, he probably would have been – if he'd won. But he didn't.
He lost. Decisively. His excuse was that he was tired in the ring and that his legs felt like mud.
The boxing world listened as Mr. Green kept saying that the reason Mikkel Kessler lost to Andre Ward was because Kessler, being from Europe, spoke English very well, but didn't speak "jive." Green contended that he spoke "jive" very well and that this ability would help him win the day on fight night, June 19, 2010.
Well, Mr. Green is going to have a chance to test his theory concerning Mr. Kessler when he meets him in battle in Denmark on Sept. 25.
Until then, let's hope that Allan Green closes his mouth and spends a great deal of time training, studying his prospective opponent and not trying to jive talk himself to victory.
Speaking (very cautiously and only if spoken to) should be the order of the day for him, 'cause the "jive" talking boxing mojo is so not working!
Mr. Green was a bit terse and edgy in his first Super Six pre-fight press conference, contending that anyone trying to dissect him better come with "a hell of a scalpel," because he's a "pure boxer," who "knows how to box."
After the press conference, though, I thought Green might be dreaming.
After the fight, I knew that he was.
With his second fight in the offing, I still think he is.
And Andre Ward? He was his usual calm, focused, occasionally smiling, serious and collected self. He quoted the immortal basketball Hall of Famer John Wooden as he addressed the standing room only press conference at the Oracle.
I was there. I heard him say this.
Dre also said that it was time to get to work. He didn't feel that it was time to relax just because he'd won a title belt.
One notices that Mr. Ward doesn't involve himself in trash talking his opponents. He takes the negativity and the criticism – and the compliments – and uses them as fuel to drive himself harder and to become more accomplished at his chosen craft.
He has goals and objectives and is known for doing precisely what he says he's going to do.
At no time did this sound like "jive." If I hear him repeat this, it still won't. In fact, this sounds like a very serious young man about to reach out and touch another pinnacle of fame and make it his own.
Another Wooden quote seems apropos here: "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
Of the entire press conference, the words of Virgil Hunter, Andre Ward's trainer, met Green's "jive" pretensions and left them dissected and filleted: "The talk is over and we can get down to the grit of it. In my opinion you're not the champ until you retire the champ. You have to be able to hold on to the title and that's where our mind set is.
"Allan Green is not taken lightly. His flaws – we've identified them. His strengths – we have identified them too. A lot has been said about what comes out of his hands, but if you look at his record, we have the better knockout percentage.
"Judging from the fighters and competition he's faced, this is the first time that he's really going to get hit. This is the first time he's going to find out how violent Andre really is. Everything we do, we do with speed. If he stays where he is in the speed zone, he's going to get chewed up. We are going to find out who has the dynamite in the fists.
"We are going to do what we always do. We are going to shock your mind, take your heart and we are going to dissect you down and constrict you and then we are going to give you a venomous bite."
This was real talk.
Even realer because that is precisely what happened.
One wonders if he is a legend in his own mind …
We will find out come fight night on Sept. 25, 2010.
Andre Ward, on the other hand, is a fighter with "a lot of desire and a lot of passion" in him. He insisted that fight night on June 19 was going to be "a whole lot of fun," if Allan Green wanted to take his title belt as badly as he wanted to keep it.
This didn't sound like jive to anyone – except possibly Allan Green.
Dre must have been terribly bored that night, because Mr. Green certainly didn't act like he wanted the WBA Middleweight title belt all that much.
But then – Allan Green was asleep. He proved this in the fight. It was the first time that an Oklahoman has been involved in a world championship fight – asleep.
The only thing he proved successfully is that nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.
And, oddly enough, during the entire post-fight press conference on June 19, the word "jive" was not heard one single time.
In fact, it hasn't been heard in this particular tournament since. This is a good thing.
Allan Green needs to put all excuses aside and be prepared for war with a very tough and determined Mikkel Kessler, who can and will try to hurt him if he isn't prepared. A Mikkel Kessler who tends to fight – and win – most of his fights in Denmark.
Mr. Green had certainly better wake up and recognize that he is fighting for his career and for his Super Six Middleweight boxing life.
For we can be certain that, friendship aside, Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell will be fighting a vicious battle on Sept. 25 with their eyes wide open.
And that ain't no jive.

Here's a scary story I told in front of a live audience at the awesome LAST BOOK STORE in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month. Watch the video, then check out the photos below.
THE STAIN (video by Liliana C. Costa, thanks!)
There, now you've heard the story, check out the images!
The Ridges…
One of the cemeteries, the graves all unmarked, that surround the strucutre…
Inside the Ridges is the Tuberculoses Ward, considered one of the most haunted places in the world…
A photograph of Margaret Schilling as a patient, her hands oddly placed in the exact position – over her heart – they were in when she died…
These next two are photographs I took on the night we explored the TB ward looking for Margaret's strange, final, lasting impression.
The first image is a photograph of us moving through the structure, before reaching the "bat chamber". Notice my flash reflecting off the dense dust particles we were all breathing… Read more
West Hollywood Book Fair Featuring Bryan Lee O'Mally, Mark Waid, Mike Mignola and Joshua Dysart!!
This Sunday, Oct. 4, I'll be on two panels at the West Hollywood Book Fair in Los Angeles, Ca.
First up, at the ungodly hour of 11:00 am to 12:00 pm I'll be on the DREAM ON DEMAND: VISION VS. MARKET PLACE panel along with guests Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Middleman), Mike Mignola (Hellboy) and Mark Waid (every comic book ever).
The panel will be moderated by the irrepressible Christine Boylan (Star Trek Manga 2 und 3). We'll be in the Comics, SciFi & Beyond Pavilion. Directly afterward we'll all be signing at The Comic Bug Booth from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, though I might have to cut out early for my next panel in which…
Bryan is the creator of one of my favorite current comic book series, SCOTT PILGRIM! The book Publishers Weekly called "A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation".
As we all eagerly await the closing volume of this mad, genius mash up of manga, kung-fu flicks, video games, rock n' roll and early twenties romance angst (and await with great trepidation the upcoming movie directed by Edgar Wright and staring one-note actor Michael Cera), I'll be talking with Bryan about his creation, the grinding six years it's taken to complete it, his dealings in Hollywood and what he plans to do after his epic is finally finished. We'll also open up questions to you, the weary and hardened masses.
That's 1:00 pm-1:45 pm SCOTT PILGRIM: Bryan Lee O'Malley In Conversation with Joshua Dysart. There will be a signing with Bryan at The Comic Bug Booth afterwards.
All this Sunday!
For Directions and more info go to the WEST HOLLYWOOD BOOK FAIR website!

Beginning this year, Interstate 35E will be expanded between Dallas and Denton.
Work should begin by mid-year. Officials said motorists can expect about 3½ years of construction on I-35E between LBJ Freeway in the Dallas area and the I-35E/35W split in Denton. The work is scheduled to be complete in 2016.
The project is centered in Dallas and Denton counties.
AGL Constructors was selected for the roughly $1 billion project, which includes adding a free lane in each direction, reversible toll lanes and improved frontage roads.

Have your say on pylon route through Southwick and Mark (From Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News)

Have your say on pylon route through Southwick and Mark
2:30pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News By Joe Dempsey
NATIONAL Grid has bowed to public pressure and changed the location of its controversial pylon route.
The planned electricity line from Bridgwater to Avonmouth sparked protests from people in Southwick and Mark who opposed the siting of 140ft pylons across the countryside.
National Grid is now holding a new public consultation asking for feedback on the changes it has made, which includes a three-kilometre stretch of nine smaller T-pylons through Southwick.
Peter Bryant, National Grid project manager, said: "We have considered a suggestion which would change the location of pylons in the Southwick area, and having looked at the environmental and technical issues we feel this change could strike a better balance of all the factors that have to be considered.
"We have always listened carefully to the local community and are grateful to everyone for their feedback during last year's public consultation. Once again, we would like to hear people's views before finalising the proposal."
Paul Hipwell, from No More Pylons, said: "I welcome that they are listening to people and thinking about changing the route, but they are not listening to the overriding view that people want the cables underground or underwater."
"They have got to take into account peoples' views. If it's quite ok for Bristol or London to have their cables underground, then why is it not ok for Somerset?"
The public consultation will be at Mark Village Hall on Saturday, February 15 between 10am and 4pm.
Information on the new proposals will be available from various locations across Somerset between February 10 and March 10.
These include Bridgwater Library, Sedgemoor District Council in Bridgwater House, Burnham Library on Princess Street, Mark Village Hall, Highbridge Library, and Somerset County Council office in Taunton.
Over 600 homes and businesses in the area will receive an information leaflet including a map of the new proposals and information will also be available online at hinkleyconnection.co.uk

A surprising reveal: etching on the computer reads "Assembled in the USA," not China as usual.
9to5Mac points out that some Apple boxes have read "Assembled in the USA" in the past, but the assumption was that these devices were simply refurbished in the USA.
This is the first time that the words have appeared etched into the computer itself.
So it begs the question –– where is Apple's secret American assembly facility?

'Tourgueille, Cevennes - Spring and Summer' is Michael Field's personal photographic diary of two trips spent in the edge of the Cevennes National Park, in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. 'Chez Billy' is a gite in the hamlet of Tourgueille, located in a small but picturesque mountain valley near Saint Jean-du-Gard.
Michael's interest is primarily with the local Butterflies and the natural landscape: in this photographic diary he folllows many different species of Butterflies: including the two European Swallowtails, a large range of local Fritillaries, and rare favourites such as the Camberwell Beauty. All these species inhabit the landscape of the National Park which varies from Alpine meadows to limestone and granite cliffs, and to the beautiful forests full of Sweet Chestnut trees.
Michael also visits the unique towns of Uzes, Anduze, Le Rozier and small but picturesque villages of Sanilhac, whilst photographing the magical and mystical panoramas of the Cevennes mountains.

The East-West Shrine Game is set to kick off on Saturday, January 21 in St. Petersburg, Florida.Top college football players from around the country are getting an opportunity to impress NFL representatives and fans alike in the annual All-Star game.
Wes Bunting of National Football Post had the opportunity to take a look at some of the East players during practice on Tuesday and came away impressed by some of the athletes who spent the regular season mostly being overlooked. Here is what he has to say about Southern Carolina State defensive back Christian Thompson:
He possesses a long, lean frame, can cleanly turn out of his transition and has solid speed when trying to run with speedy receivers from the slot. Now, he does get a bit leggy at times and doesn't have a great feel recognizing routes in man. And despite putting himself in position to make a number of plays today, he didn't due to his struggles initially locating the football. However, he's a good athlete who can run, change directions and overall is the one safety on the East roster who has made a solid impression on me.
Here is Bunting's take on University of Regina defensive tackle Akiem Hicks:
[Hicks] looks the part of a standout defensive lineman at nearly 6-5, 325 pounds. He was very impressive during one-on-one drills today, showcasing impressive initial burst off the snap for his size, power on his bull rush and the length to routinely gain leverage. He also exhibits "plus" short area quickness for a guy his size. He does get upright at times and will stall out when an opposing lineman is able to get under his frame. However, he has the skill set to not only make an NFL roster, but also mature into a solid contributor with some experience in either a 34 or 43 front.
On the offensive side of the ball, Bunting had some good things to say about Miami tight end Chase Ford:
Ford had a monster practice making plays on the football. He isn't a real explosive athlete and lacks much burst off the line. However, he builds speed down the field, showcases good ball skills and coordination, and did a nice job playing with a defender on his hip. Now, he's not to be confused in any way with former Miami standout Jimmy Graham. However at 6-6, 258 pounds you could do a lot worse with a developmental tight end prospect in the back end of the draft.
Lots of players from smaller markets are going to be getting a long look at the practices leading up to Saturday's game. They are likely to be making most of this opportunity.
Stay tuned to SB Nation for more college football news.

Central European Journal of Physics
- eISSN:1644-3608
- Publisher:Versita, co-published with Springer Verlag
- Scope:all areas of physics
- Owner:De Gruyter Open
- Distributor:Springer Verlag
CEJP becomes OPEN PHYSICS
Scientific publishing has reached the point where unrestricted access to publications has become crucial for the development of the academic community. As we have already announced, the Central European Journal of Physics (CEJP) has now been changed into an Open Access journal. This will also be reflected in the journal's new title, as starting from Volume 2015 CEJP will become OPEN PHYSICS (www.degruyter.com/journals/phys). However, the coverage in the Abstracting/Indexing services will remain unchanged.
We are grateful to the contributing authors, reviewers and readers for their loyalty and constant interest in our journal, and we are looking forward to greeting all new members.
We recommend reading review article entitled "Origins of mass" by Frank Wilczek. The paper is available in Volume 10, Issue 5, October 2012 of CEJP.
We recommend reading our latest topical issue devoted to Fractional calculus: theory and numerical methods.
De Gruyter Open is excited to announce a groundbreaking publishing initiative. Central European Journal of Physics (CEJP) is now becoming Open Access, which means freely available to everyone, anywhere in the world. Starting with volume 2015, CEJP will provide our users with free, instant, and permanent access to all content worldwide. This is a fantastic opportunity for our authors, since we can now guarantee the widest possible readership for their works – including a new generation of readers, both inside and outside the field of physics. Hence very soon, we aim for CEJP to become a major high-impact journal in the world of physics.
As the most important aspect of the journal has always been the quality of its published research, we are happy to confirm that CEJP will maintain its practice of detailed and critical peer review, as well as its extensive editorial involvement throughout the publication process. CEJP will also explore new ways to distribute its content, thus making it much more visible to the academic community. As a result, not only are we confident that CEJP will continue to maintain the high standard of scholarship it currently enjoys, but we expect this new opportunity to attract increasingly exciting research in volumes to come.
Moreover, it must be pointed out that the preparation of a peer-reviewed, edited, and formatted article for online publication - and hosting it on a server that remains accessible around the clock - is not without costs. These expenses will be covered by Article Processing Charges, which are paid by the author's funder, sponsor or affiliated institution. Manuscripts accepted for publication in CEJP will be subject to Article Processing Charges of 1000 EUR. However, it is important to remember that authors from countries where no such funding schemes are in place will be given the opportunity to publish in the journal free of charge.
Finally, please note that due to a significant backlog of manuscripts, all new submissions to CEJP will be considered for publication in the 2015 volume.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
ANIMAL CARE at LSSU
During the last quarter century, the momentum of discovery in the biological, behavioral, and medical science has
steadily increased. The application of this new knowledge has brought valuable health benefits to humans. Laboratory
animals have played an indispensable role in these advances and in the education of professionals who serve the
medical and health needs of humans and animals.
If the public's rising expectations for relief from disease, disability, and premature death are to be realized, research
involving laboratory animals must continue. Thus, significant responsibility for the management of laboratory animal
resources falls upon individual investigators and faculty, as well as the institutions in which their research and
instruction are performed. All individuals who use animals in education or scientific inquiry, must understand and be
committed to fulfilling the legal and moral responsibilities of such use for both ethical and scientific reasons. Only
healthy, well-cared for animals yield valid scientific data, and thus both practical and philosophical considerations
demand the highest standards of care.
The academic community has a responsibility for meeting two challenges. First, it must assure that all animal facilities,
as well as research and training procedures, are in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
Deficiencies in compliance with these standards only serve to undermine public confidence in all research and must be
corrected. Second, the academic community must educate the public about the important benefits derived from the use
of animals in research and education.
Investigator Responsibilities
Individual investigators who use vertebrate animals in their teaching or research (including those whose research
consists of field work involving animals) are responsible, by law, for conforming to the basic regulations and policies
governing animal use on the LSSU campus. These regulations and policies cover: (a) the acquisition, care, and use of
animals, (b) efforts to minimize animal pain and distress, (c) the training of personnel using animals, and (d)
consideration of alternatives to animal use. As a matter of educational policy, even faculty who do not themselves use
animals should be aware of these regulations and policies as their students may use animals at a later time. Similarly,
instruction of students in proper animal use is an essential component of education in the biological sciences.

Rammstein – Sehnsucht Reviews
There's not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the '80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding. Rammstein, however, may be the macho men to get the job done, at least in a concert setting. Decidedly Teutonic and militant in sound and lyrics–they sing in German and their commanding semi-industrial metal is compelling–Rammstein garnered rock-radio airplay for the catchy sing-along "Du Hast," which translates here as "You Hate" and bears a strik (more…)
