When lighting directors Jim Chapman and Benny Kirkham went on the road with Aerosmith's Rockin' the Joint tour, PRG was there to solve their technical dilemmas. The pair created a cue intensive show based on Michael Keeling's original design that required two operators, but they didn't like arbitrarily splitting the system between two consoles. Instead, they each wanted their console to control all the parameters of all of the lights. Unfortunately, there wasn't a console on the market that would allow that specific kind of dual operation.
That's when the software designers at PRG's Research and Development Department in Dallas, TX, stepped in to make their vision a practical reality. "Much of the new software for Virtuoso® was already in development, but when Benny and Jim came in they had some specific needs that we were able to accommodate," explains PRG systems engineer Mike Snyder. The resulting software has taken lighting console technology to the next level. "No one has tried this on any board," notes Kirkham. "The way we have it now with full access, Jim can control part of a light, and I can control another part of the light, and we can shift during a cue - it gives real breadth to the system," he adds. Essentially, Chapman's and Kirkham's separate consoles act as one.
Aerosmith has a reputation for intricate shows, and the current production is no exception. "The new software on the Virtuoso allows us to put in more cues and add in more things, so you get a nicer light show," remarks Chapman. In fact, the pair controls over 250 lighting instruments, including 38 Martin MAC 2000 washes, 34 MAC 2000 profiles, 6 Vari-Lite VL3000 profiles and 31 Atomic Color Strobes. With both men trigging cues during the show, the complexity is unbelievable. "I'm not sure you could trigger a show that has as many cues as we've got even using something like SMPTE," notes Kirkham.
"The new software makes the Virtuoso much more versatile when it comes to playback. It allows fader action for triggering a full parameter cue. It also allows flash button and swap button control of playback cues with full parameters. By making buttons more powerful and more versatile, you can use them for more things," Kirkham notes. Of course, that's not the only new feature written into the Virtuoso's software. "The add/kill/swap is one of my favorite features, and moving the bump button down closer to the faders makes it physically easer for me to use. I run the board very hard, and it can take the beating I'm giving it," adds Chapman.
The new software has other features as well. "There are some new data display features in how status and data is presented as well, and support for external trackballs," notes Snyder. The software also includes hand held remote support, as well as a version of the console software that will run on a Macintosh without additional hardware.
Not only do Chapman and Kirkham now have a console that fits their specific needs, but they also have PRG's support behind it. "We've had people backing us up and supporting us when we've asked for certain things. PRG's service on the road is unbelievable," Chapman asserts.

"I will be meeting before the end of the month with the Mayor of Jacksonville to discuss the contract relative to the Florida-Georgia game,'' Machen said. "We remain very positive about that relationship, although we have some problems with the way things are done over there in terms of crowd control outside the stadium and things of that nature. But we will be meeting with him and hopefully we will be able to sign an extension before the end of the summer... "They [UGA officials] are talking about it and I think they are leaning the same way we are,'' Machen said. "They don't seem to be as interested in the safety and security issues as we are, they've got other problems with it (the site). But I think we're headed toward a meeting of the minds''UF President Bernie Machen on the Cocktail Party UF, UGA, and city of Jacksonville officials are preparing to meet to extend the contract to keep the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in its current location, despite Mark Richt's protests. In a week where Georgia just picked up a commitment from a prospect in Jacksonville, it makes sense to hear that UGA is leaning towards keeping it in place regardless of Richt's complaints.

FORT HOOD – U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan will be executed for the 2009 shooting rampage on post that left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded.
The jury panel of 13 U.S. Army officers delivered the verdict on post moments before 2 p.m. Wednesday. They deliberated for two hours and 20 minutes. Hasan stared forward with no visible facial expression as the judge read him the verdict.
Last Friday, the same panel unanimously found Hasan guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
This sentencing verdict ends the court martial after 17 days. In it, Hasan, who defended himself, did not present a defense and refused to cross-examine any of his victims.
"This has been a very long and exhausting process," said Keely Vanacker, the daughter of Mike Cahill, who was one of Hasan's victims. "We are tired; we are hurt; but we are resolved justice has been served."
Hasan will immediately lose his rank of major and he will stop getting paid in two weeks.
"There are two messages leaving that courtroom," said victim's daughter Kerry Cahill. "There is the one of hatred, cowardice and betrayal, and there is one of loyalty, dedication and honor."
Gale Hunt stood outside the courtroom clutching a photo of her son, Spc. Jason Hunt, who was also killed in the 2009 rampage.
"As a Christian, I can't say that I wish anyone dead for crimes against me and my family," she said, "but that doesn't mean that I'm opposed to the death penalty, or that if the government or the families of the other 13 families want the death penalty, that they are not perfectly justified."
The Army will soon transfer him to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. to begin serving his sentence.
Fort Leavenworth's U.S. Disciplinary Barracks is the military's only maximum-security prison, housing inmates who are sentenced to at least 10 years in prison as well as death.
But an execution is not imminent. Hasan automatically gets an appeal and it has been more than 50 years since the military executed anyone.
Hasan's case is unusual given his physical condition and limitations. The Army psychiatrist was shot in the back during the shooting rampage and is paralyzed from the waist down. He is confined to a wheelchair and requires specialized care for his needs.
Kimberly Lewis, a spokeswoman for Fort Leavenworth, said the prison has a health clinic that is staffed with active duty military medical professionals and civil service medical professionals. She declined to address specific medical needs that any one inmate would require or receive.
Hasan's confinement at Fort Leavenworth could complicate the logistics for prison staff, given his physical limitations, said Anita Gorecki-Robbins, a former Army attorney now in private practice.
She said death row inmates have special custody procedures, including how they are handled during daily recreation time. Only two inmates are allowed in the so-called "bullpen" where they can exercise, a space with 40-foot high walls and solid concrete floors.
"Death row inmates will never see or feel grass ever again," Gorecki-Robbins said.
She said procedures require two inmates to be released into the recreation area without guards. If Hasan requires medical assistance, only he and the attendant would be allowed out unless other logistics are arranged.
Hasan will join five other inmates who also are on death row, though one could have his sentence commuted to life in prison. None of the death row inmates are close to an execution date.
The last military execution took place in 1961 when John Bennett, an Army private convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl, was put to death. President Dwight Eisenhower signed his execution order in 1957.
If and when an inmate is executed it will take place at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind., the same location where convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed in 2001 by lethal injection.

Lyft and Uber both announced they're getting into shared rides, but Sidecar says it's been testing carpooling options for months.
The peer-to-peer driving service launches a marketplace model in hopes of becoming the Airbnb of ride-sharing.
The San Francisco-based ride-sharing service claims the Texas capital's city council is misinterpreting the law and illegally attempting to regulate its business.
The startup, which lets drivers pick up riders like a taxi service, was risking having its drivers charged with a crime for charging riders. Making all SXSW rides free may be a solution.
The California Public Utilities Commission issues a proposal that would allow drivers working for ride-sharing apps to freely take to the road if they agree to certain guidelines.
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation is ordering the three ride-sharing apps to halt all vehicle operations "immediately." However, the companies say there aren't grounds for such demands.
A new app for iOS and Android can hook you up with people willing to drive you to a local destination.
Controversial car-summoning app Uber says it will roll out service in places where regulators aren't restricting already existing rideshare businesses.
The new mobile app aims to let you easily share video, photos, and other information while you talk. It also provides free calling in the U.S. and Canada to non-Sidecar users.
Hot on the heels of the Superside FIM Sidecar World Championship event in France over the weekend, today we get an overview (emphasis on "view") of the exciting world of sidecar racing.

Sounds about right.
LOL - but it's rather a good joke than reality, because my observation is that people who know a product is crap even before it's released tend to continue to think so even after it's available. But he got the 6 month catharsis right, sooner or later indeed the "useful tool" opinion dominates.

Chalk it up as a tragic irony of an untimely demise: At the time he was killed Saturday in a Los Angeles auto mishap at the ridiculously young age of 40, Paul Walker was less than two weeks away from seeing how movie audiences and VOD viewers would respond to what arguably was the finest performance of his career up to that point, as a desperate father who triumphs over death. (Trailer below.)
In "Hours," writer-director Eric Heisserer's suspenseful indie drama, Walker plays Nolan Hayes, a loving husband who rushes his pregnant wife to a New Orleans hospital just before sunrise on Aug. 29, 2005 – just as Hurricane Katrina begins its brutal assault on the Crescent City. Unfortunately, Nolan's wife dies during childbirth. Even more unfortunately, his prematurely born daughter must remain inside a ventilator for at least 48 hours.
The New Orleans levees break, the city streets are flooded, the hospital is evacuated – but Nolan must remain behind, alone with his infant offspring, because the ventilator cannot be moved. And when the power goes out, the increasingly anxious father must maintain constant vigilance – because the hand-cranked back-up battery for the ventilator works for, at best, three minutes between crankings.
As I wrote in Variety after the drama's SXSW Film Festival premiere last March: "'Hours' is practically a one-man show, with Walker alone on camera for lengthy stretches as Nolan passes time talking to his baby, or himself, and dashing hither and yon between battery-cranks while on beat-the-clock explorations and supply runs." The film "capably and compellingly rises to the demands of the role," and "gracefully balances the drama on his shoulders."
Please don't misunderstand: I'm not one of those snobs who dismiss the guilty-pleasure appeal of Walker's full-throttle action-heroics in the "Fast & Furious" franchise. (Although I must admit: I enjoyed his work just as much, if not more, in a genre movie of a scarier kind, John Dahl's "Joy Ride.") It's just that, in "Hours," I saw him doing things -- and expressing emotions – that indicated he also was fully capable of more challenging roles in more complex movies.
And when I spoke to him at SXSW last March, I got the distinct impression that he, too, knew he'd taken full advantage of a showcase for his heretofore underutilized talents.
You can judge for yourself when "Hours" is available in limited theatrical runs and as VOD fare starting Dec. 13. In the meantime, here is some of what Paul Walker had to say about the movie – and his work in it – during our conversation.
How much responsibility did you feel toward the people of New Orleans – the people who had endured the devastation of Hurricane Katrina – while making Hours in their city?
Prior to getting to New Orleans, [Eric Heisserer] told me that our ace in the hole was the fact that a lot of the people on the crew, because we were filming in New Orleans, had a very personal connection to this. So we had built-in accountability – like, the accountability police. There had been some other Katrina projects that had come up. But this one, when they read it, the locals felt a real connection. And when I got there, I saw this consistently. Everybody was there because they really wanted to be there. They felt like they had a connection to the story.
me | December 4, 2013 6:07 AM
And really people respect the dead. Before Paul was ever an actor his first love was cars. Respect the fact that he went doing something he loved with his friend and from what i hear co-owner of Paul's Race Team. It was a blowout at high speed. That is all it was. He time was up and the lord called him. Can't respect anyone who talks about a person who just lost his life. Show some respect for this family and loved ones and cut the gossip
a person | December 3, 2013 1:20 PM
If they were driving "ridicuosuly reckless" I'm sure that tiny tree (although I keep hearing it was a post or something, I keep getting conflicting information) either way, would have been leveled along with the car....just doesn't add up in my opinion :/
JOHN | December 1, 2013 10:43 PM
It wasn't an "auto mishap." He and his colleague were driving recklessly, dangerously and in the fashion that inspired young people around the world to be just as foolish with their lives. This is not a tragedy -- it was a completely avoidable, completely unnecessary car wreck that claimed two lives, and that was caused by human beings who should have known better. He could have prevented it by not glorifying the very behavior that led to his death. I'm very sorry he died. How many other people have died by trying to replicate what they saw in the "Fast and the Furious" films. I pray (literally) that he rests in peace ⦠along with the tens of thousands of people who die in car accidents every year. But Hollywood's determination to play this up as some sort of awful tragedy is really a slap in the face to others who have lost people who died in car accidents. That his was entirely, completely, UTTERLY preventable is just a horrifying reality.
Donna | December 1, 2013 6:26 PM
I am very sad about the death of Paul Walker. He was a lovely person and magical, able actor. Our condolences to his family and film community.

This requirement leaves customer frustrated and even dumbfounded, since they assumed that upon purchase, they can immediately take advantage of their home theater systems. Buying from other appliance companies has been a big mistake as realized by many customers. This problem will not be experienced by those who patronized Westfair TV.
With Westfair TV home entertainment theater system, customers are given the big chance to enjoy only the best and finest entertainment that can be enjoyed at the comforts of their own rooms.Westfair TV brand allows owners to experience a truly exciting evening by viewing HD films, or listen to high-fidelity sounds with loved ones and members of the family.

The problem that has emerged is that people are getting much less time than before and so there is relatively less time for the people, especially younger generation to go and watch a movie in the theatre after standing in a queue. This is where the idea of home theatre came in. this is just the perfect thing for the problems mentioned above. There would be no one to hamper your privacy as you can just have to perfect movie experience inside your home. Only that you need a bigger room to adjust your system and also provide the sound system enough space to create the ambience.

This results the performance to be absolutely up to the mark and allows the customers to get acquainted with the technical know how and to have some idea about the product they are using. They are given the right importance about the installation and the surround system.

I just spent over an hour on the phone with Butch. Butch never posted much but many of you have met him at CubFests and know he is always a pleasure to chat with. Several members have ask me or Rosie at various events if we knew how Butch was doing. Well, today I called him and he told me he is doing well and is still enjoying life. He said he had gotten away from Cubs for a while and taking a new direction in life, but I think (hope) I have been able to redirect him back to the Cub fun. He said he does miss the fun times he had at all Cubfests he has attended and hopes his friends are doing well.
With that said, Butch told me he has had problems logging on to the forum and thought he had been dropped from the membership. I told him I would do what I could to get his login re-established so he can, again, join in on the fun.

The newest Buffalo Wild Wings location in the Twin Cities has only been open for two weeks, but neighbors who live north or south of the Snelling Avenue location say it stinks.
"They really shouldn't have a right to just blow their grease in our neighborhood," Jack Nelson told FOX 9 News.
Residents describe the smell as similar to having a deep fryer in their homes, adding that the scent invaded their property and permeated everything down to their bed sheets as soon as opening day.
"It was astonishing to me," Nelson said. "It's heavy, grease-laden, burnt food."
In a statement issued to FOX 9 News, a Buffalo Wild Wings spokesman wrote:
"We are excited to be in the Snelling Avenue neighborhood and have been pleased with the feedback we have received from guests and other members of the community. To the extent feasible, we will continue to work with the community to try to address concerns about restaurant operations."
Not everyone who lives near the restaurant is complaining, however. Alan Block said he expected a lot worse with the University of St. Thomas sitting just blocks away.
"Nobody's pitching any debris on our lawn or going to the bathroom in our yard or anything like that," he said.
Still, others nearby say the sound and smell is something that they won't welcome. The bar and restaurant is open from noon to 1 a.m., and it's just feet from Brian Quarstad's yard.
"It's loud. Our bedroom window is less than 100 feet from the front door," he said. "So, it's a problem."
Officials with St. Paul's Ward 1 also released a statement about the complaints regarding the restaurant. It can be read in full below:
The Ward 1 office has been working closely with Buffalo Wild Wings representatives, nearby residents, and Union Park District Council to come up with solutions to address concerns regarding the opening of a new Buffalo Wild Wings location at the Snelling Avenue and Ashland. Through this work, Buffalo Wild Wings has agreed to take the following steps:
- Install a steel decorative fence along Ashland at Buffalo Wild Wings to help encourage patrons to park in the lot and not on Ashland.
- The driveway on Ashland, which Buffalo Wild Wings originally and mistakenly communicated would be removed, will be shifted west to align with the alley across Ashland at Buffalo Wild Wings' expense. This will encourage customers to turn left and head toward Snelling as opposed to cutting through the neighborhood. While it would be preferable to have this driveway removed, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which oversees Snelling Avenue, expressed concerns that doing so would cause increased congestion and accidents on Snelling. This will take place no later than mid-August.
- The existing curb along the alley behind the building will be narrowed and deliveries will be made via Snelling.
- A sign originally planned for the building that would face north and stare directly at residents across Ashland has been removed.
- A special system will be installed that monitors the outside of the building for sound coming from TVs and music inside and adjusts the volume if it gets too loud.
- State-of-the-art fans will be installed that will vent smells from the kitchen straight up. Buffalo Wild Wings has indicated this should help prevent smells from blowing into the neighborhood.
- Grease will be disposed of using a closed-loop system the pumps it directly into a sealed storage tank.
- Dumpsters will be stored in a fenced-off enclosure and emptied in a timely manner.
- A sign asking customers to be respectful of neighbors will be installed near the entrance.
- The entrance doors will be closed at all times during operation.
These actions on the part of Buffalo Wild Wings notwithstanding, the Ward 1 office is continuing to work with residents, city staff, and Buffalo Wild Wings representatives to continue to address the concerns of residents regarding reports of odors coming from the restaurant. We are hopeful that Buffalo Wild Wings and neighbors will be able to work together to reach a positive resolution.

Catering Conundrum
John Sanders and his wife Gloria, a caterer by trade, dreamed of converting an old church into a party venue. Catering big events would be the couple's next big adventure.
But first, the Sanders would need a mortgage to purchase the $1.6 million dollar property. They asked their real estate agent for help finding a mortgage broker.
The mortgage broker, Ann Ursiny, promised to help the Sanders get the financing they needed.
Ursiny strung the Sanders along with phony feed and permits that cost more and more money, until they ran through their savings.
Over 4 years the Sanders lost about a million dollars. Draining their savings, checking and 401K retirement funds.
Postal Inspectors say only work with people you know well, especially when large amounts of money are involved.
As for Ann Ursiny- she eventually confessed to the scheme, is serving a six year prison sentence, and was ordered to pay restitution to the Sanders' but the couple is not optimistic they will get their money back.

The Cullman County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that two people are dead after a "light aircraft" crashed near Smith Lake Monday afternoon.
The Sheriff's Office says the plane went down off of County Road 174 near the Crane Hill community. Sheriff's deputies and local fire department officials are on the scene now.
The FAA reports that a Mooney 20 aircraft with two people on board crashed around 2 p.m. today. The plane was flying from Destin, Fla. to the Sumner County Airport in Gallatin, Tenn. The identities of the two people killed in the crash have not yet been released by officials.
As of 6 p.m. Monday evening, the crash scene was still active. Cullman County and FAA officials were still investigating and reporter Christy Hutchings told FOX6 News that National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) personnel were expected to arrive overnight to join the investigation.
Sheriff's deputies said that if neighbors hadn't heard or seen the crash, they would not have been able to respond as quickly. The area around the crash site is rural, made up of pastureland and forested areas.
One neighbor told FOX6 that he saw the plane flying low and didn't immediately think much of it. But then he saw fire and smoke and called authorities. Another woman said she heard the crash, but thought it was thunder from a storm that was rolling through the area at the time.
This crash is the third deadly plane crash in Alabama in the past three days.
Saturday, a pilot named William Shaver crashed into Weiss Lake in Cherokee County. Shaver was the only person on board the aircraft and was flying from Guntersville to visit friends in the area. Officials say Shaver was trying to land when he clipped a main power line and crashed into the lake. He did not survive.
Two people also died in a plane crash in Madison County on Sunday near the Moontown Airport in Brownsboro, Tenn. The pilot of the plane, George Myers, 74, and a 17-year-old passenger named Christian Schmitt were killed in the crash.

As early as 1996, three years after the signing of the Oslo 'peace' Accords, Israeli military leaders drew up contingency plans for the re-conquest of the West Bank and the destruction of the Palestinian Authority. They called their plan "Field of Thorns" and in the spring of 2002 Sharon's government began effectively to carry it out under the name "Operation Defensive Shield". This series of military operations nullified the administrative distinctions for joint and separate rule over segments of the West Bank (Areas A, B, & C) that were established under the Oslo agreement, and dealt a near deathblow to the leadership of the PA. In the name of security the IDF also caused irreparable damage to Palestinian popular and democratic civil society fostered by numerous NGOs, educational and political institutions. Soldiers ransacked offices, destroyed computer hard drives, stole, and in some cases burned, decades' worth of statistical, sociological information stored in paper files and on software disks. In some cases they wrecked the offices and headquarters of these organizations, including Palestinian TV and Radio stations, so thoroughly that even the most hardened citizens were left stunned.
The obliteration of the Jenin refugee camp in April 2002, the siege of Arafat in his compound, which continues to this day –along with the recent US-sanctioned decision to expel or murder him–and the ongoing construction of the Apartheid Wall throughout the West Bank attest symbolically and literally to the success of the vision behind "Field of Thorns" and "Operation Defensive Shield", a vision long fostered by the ideological forerunners and compatriots of Ariel Sharon, both in the Likkud and Labor parties of Israel.
Today attention in Israel is focused on the War against Hamas, a pretext for doing to the Gaza Strip –already a massive ghetto– what was done to the West Bank, and for completing the greater task already in progress, namely the de facto annexation of the Occupied Territories. Israel will proclaim as its national security right exclusive rule over the land and resources of these territories and to full control over their internal and external borders without the burden of caring for the Palestinian inhabitants. International humanitarian aid agencies will go on paying for this "deluxe" occupation as more and more Palestinians are forced to leave or to accept greater impoverishment and exploitation. Those wishing to deny this creeping policy of ethnic cleansing and apartheid through legalized starvation, strangulation, killings, and neglect will step up the propaganda already rampant in the west portraying the victims as the perpetrators of terror.
In the densely populated and narrow Gaza Strip the process of re-consolidating Israeli control promises to be bloody and difficult necessitating tactics such as the fostering of a civil war, orchestrated by the IDF and its self-appointed Palestinian intermediaries on whom Israel can pin the blame. Ahmad Qureia, however, like his predecessor Mahmoud Abbas, is destined for failure. While he ducks out of sight to form his new cabinet one has to wonder what quixotic musings he must be entertaining in order to believe that his role as Israeli-stamped Prime Minister will do anything more than lend Sharon a hand in bulldozing his way towards a Greater Israel. It is sobering to see just how ready Qureia is to be used as another human tool in the imperial designs of Washington and its Israeli agent. And to what end? Does Qureia believe his fate will be better than Arafat's? He will be ordered to run a military-authoritarian regime whose primary task will be to guarantee a democracy-free Palestinian satellite of Israel. Failure to stamp out any and all resistance to this regime will only result in his demise as well.
All the ruminations and lip service to the "Road Map" have nothing to do with fostering peace and everything to do with sanctioning the Bush-Sharon axis. Every mechanism for insuring the gradual death of Palestinian nationhood is in place: settlement expansion, daily invasions into and destruction of Palestinian land, persistent curfews, divisive and humiliating roadblocks and checkpoints that divide families, friends, and communities from each other. The pervasive policies of impoverishment, dispossession and division have had the effect of de-nationalizing a people –not in consciousness but in practice — as Palestinians are forced backwards into an anti-modern world where it takes days or weeks to accomplish what others can do in the space of a morning. And these are the people lucky enough to have survived the lethal role of the Israeli military or its notorious desert prisons.
September 29th 2003 will nevertheless mark the 3rd anniversary of the al-Aqsa Intifada, a somber occasion for anyone who hoped that the uprising might herald revolutionary change and the pursuit of justice. Instead as headlines carry news that more Israeli civilians have died in atrocious suicide bombings, we are kept from knowing that four times as many Palestinians have died at the hands of Israelis in legal acts of terror since the uprising began and that 80% of the Palestinian dead were unarmed civilians. Our politicians, news media and educators keep us from understanding that resistance to occupation is a right and that those who refuse to accept the unbearable circumstances in which they are forced to live and work represent the last hope for an acceptable future.
We watch footage of Israeli tanks rolling into refugee camps, of Apache helicopter gun ships firing missiles into cars on crowded streets in order to "eliminate terrorists", see Israeli soldiers in full military gear ordering civilians around with their machine guns, watch F-16 airplanes flying low over cities to bomb homes and businesses on the intelligence that "militants" are present, but when Palestinians are caught smuggling weapons through makeshift tunnels on the Egypt-Gaza border, or known to have fired home-made grenades and rockets into illegal settlements and nearby towns, or when children and teenagers have the audacity to hurl stones and Molotov cocktails at passing armored personnel carriers the reaction is indignation.
Since when, I have to ask myself, has it been acceptable for only one side of a conflict to have weapons? Since when has "self-defense" been defined as the actions of a military superpower against the very people it oppresses and seeks to destroy? Since when is it legitimate to murder with impunity those decreed guilty without due process and the hapless bystanders in that path of death? Since when should it pass without international condemnation that hundreds of homes are demolished and families torn apart, that the livelihood of a village is destroyed or confiscated in the name of security, and in order to steal the natural resources of the land for illegal settlers or the Jewish citizens of Israel? Since when is it understandable that a people in exile for 2000 years has the right to return "home", but that a people in exile for 55 years should relinquish that right? How long will we rail against the use of violence by those who are subjected to it repeatedly and in every conceivable form every day of their lives?
Dark as the prognosis is, we should not abandon the struggle for liberation or forget the date marking its most recent incarnation in Palestine. Conscience alone dictates to many of us the need for non-violent resistance, and pragmatism suggests it may be the only way to prevent Palestinians from committing national suicide, still non-violence is no easy prescription for the people who are resisting US-backed Israeli terror in Palestine. While Israel has no qualms about crushing Palestinians militarily for every single act of violent resistance and terror they commit, it is equally clear that Israel has no qualms about killing the non-violent resistors as well for the sake of its racist-national goals. The struggle for Palestine has gone far beyond a quarrel over land and property rights: Men, women, and children face the claws of bulldozers, the dynamite of demolition units, the bullets of soldiers and settlers, the shells of tanks, missiles and bombs, simply because they exist. Once it was outrageous that children throwing stones should be shot dead by trigger-happy young men. Now it is acceptable for soldiers to fire on children playing too close to a wall or people idling at a checkpoint, walking down a road, or sitting in their own homes.
Where violence is standard practice even against the unarmed and non-confrontational, non-violent and violent acts of resistance are equally suicidal. Unless the government of the United States holds Israel to account for every act of desecration and murder it commits, few Palestinians will be able to rationalize resistance through civil disobedience. It is therefore the duty of the international community, and in particular of the people of the United States, to convince the people of Palestine that non-violent resistance will work; that not only will their deaths not be in vain but that they should not die at all for having the audacity to resist injustice. It is up to us to show them that we will not shut our eyes as Washington and Jerusalem exceed the limits of state terror and ethnic cleansing. Our silence in the face of these policies annihilates their hope.
We must therefore recognize that tactics such as the present "War against Hamas" is but another excuse to destroy Palestine. It is another pretext for Sharon to use overwhelming force against an imprisoned population. It is setting the stage for a full-scale invasion of Gaza probably this fall. With Israeli tanks encircling each of the towns and refugee camps of the Strip, access to the centers of resistance will be easier and more lethal. Gaza will share the fate of the West Bank, or worse. Israel can prop up another puppet regime, with thugs like the US-hand-picked Mohammed Dahlan, to do its dirty work for it; or it may simply bypass the need for a "Palestinian" authority altogether. After all, there is a good reason why plans such as "Field of Thorns" targeted the PA: Once the moderate, collaborating leadership has been eliminated, few will object to full-scale attacks on the "extremist" Islamist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. After all, Sharon has already declared the proxy PA regime ineffective in "dismantling the terrorist infrastructure" (read Islamist resistance). Doing away with the "Authority" that is supposed to be combating terror for it will give Israel the free hand it has long wanted to go into the cities and refugee camps of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank to carry out another "Lebanon" on the civilians and the remaining organized resistance.
It should be noted that the destruction of Hamas, the most popular of the opposition groups in Palestine today, will have two certain outcomes: the increase in popular support for an "Islamic" resistance to the United States and Israel, and the further erosion of democratic civil society in Palestine and elsewhere.
These outcomes will advance Sharon's vision, a vision shared on a grander scale by people like George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and many others. We can see its reflection in the current US actions in Iraq, and its intentions for Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. We as individual citizens have a choice to make: Like the Palestinians, we can collaborate or we can resist.

"Spheres of Influence" celebrates artistic collaborations of choreographer Merce Cunningham and artist
Robert Rauschenberg
The Lewis Center for the Arts' Program in Dance and the Princeton University Art Museum present an evening of dance and art inspired by the artistic collaborations between choreographer Merce Cunningham and visual artist Robert Rauschenberg. An exhibition, performance, and panel discussion celebrating the partnership between these two legendary artists will be presented on Thursday, February 14, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Princeton University Art Museum. A reception will follow. The event is free and open to the public.
Cunningham (1919-2009) was considered one of the greatest forces in American dance and at the forefront of the avant-garde for more than 50 years. His frequent collaborations with other artists included musicians John Cage and David Tudor; visual artists Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol; and other designers and architects. Rauschenberg (1925-2008) served as the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's resident designer from 1954 through 1964 and created "decór" (sets and costumes), for a number of the Company's early works, many of them "Combines" in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations.
The program begins in the museum's Marquand Mather Gallery with an opportunity to view a selection of paintings, drawings, and prints from the 1960s and 1970s, including works by Rauschenberg created for Merce Cunningham Dance Company, on loan from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. The exhibition is the first of several the museum will present through the new Rauschenberg Loan Bank Program, for which the museum was chosen as a pilot institution.
Following a tour of the exhibition, s tudents from the Program in Dance will perform a MinEvent for Princeton, a unique combination of excerpts of Cunningham choreography, staged by Princeton alumnus Silas Riener '06 in another of the museum's galleries. Riener is a former member of Merce Cunningham Dance Company, who The New York Times last year noted as, "one of the superlative performers of our day." This performance follows a recent programming technique of the Cunningham Trust to present curated compilations of Cunningham's groundbreaking works set to new music. The music for this performance is composed by Jeff Snyder, Co-Director of PLOrk (Princeton Laptop Orchestra), and Cenk Ergün, a graduate student in music composition.
The performance will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by visiting faculty member and frequent contributor to The New York Times, Claudia La Rocco, with Nancy Dalva, Merce Cunningham Trust Scholar-in Residence; John King, composer/performer and former co-director of the music committee for Merce Cunningham Dance Company; Abigail Sebaly, Cunningham Research Fellow at the Walker Art Center; and Riener. A reception in the Sterling Morton Gallery will conclude the evening.
"This is one of those rare, not-to-be-missed evenings. We are so happy to join with the Princeton University Art Museum to honor these iconic artists," notes Susan Marshall, Director of the Program in Dance.
Audiences will have an opportunity to see a slightly different MinEvent of Cunningham choreography at the Program in Dance's Spring Dance Festival being presented February 22 through 24 at the Berlind Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center. The Festival will also include student performances of excerpts of works by internationally recognized choreographers Mark Morris, Zvi Gotheiner and Karole Amitage, as well as the premiere of two new works by New York-based choreographers Raja Kelly and Laura Peterson created in collaborations with Princeton dance students.

The Eagles jumped out to a 7-2 lead and never looked back as Short cruised the remainder of the game.
In the second game, the Eagles bats exloaded for eighteen runs on thirteen hits.

text: contentLife Extension Magazine December 2012 Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100?New skin. New hair. New YOU... 7 simple steps to thrive at 100... and beyond. By David A. Kekich "As one who has devoted himself to radical life extension, and who has devoured nearly every book on the topic, I place Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100? at the top of my recommended reading list. David Kekich has managed to capture the essence of this complex topic and distill it down to a user friendly book." – Ray Kurzweil, inventor, futurist, author of The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity is Near When life extension expert Ray Kurzweil recommends a book in such glowing terms, the scientific literary community stands up to take notice. In the case of Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100?, such emphatic praise is certainly deserved. The book, written by Maximum Life Foundation founder David Kekich, explores myriad ways that humans can beat aging once and for all. While the book is divided into three parts, the core of the longevity plan takes place in Part II: Seven Steps You Can Take to Put Extreme Longevity Odds on Your Side. The first step described in this process deals with nutrition. The reason Kekich places this topic first, ahead of even exercise and supplements, is because he feels that, "…the largest volume of chemicals to which your internal organs are exposed come from your food. The most powerful weapon you currently have for fighting the ravages of aging is a healthy diet." One of the points Kekich aims to hit home in this chapter is the value of eating fresh or raw foods versus eating processed and overcooked foods. This chapter is filled with literally dozens and dozens of useful facts to help the reader understand how seemingly small diet or cooking decisions can have a giant impact on the quality of the food you ingest. Many of the strategies employed in this chapter will be familiar to Life Extension® readers, including minor tips like avoiding over-barbecued meat and major life changes like practicing calorie restriction. Steps two and three in Kekich's plan deal with exercise and supplements. In the former, he talks about not only the importance of exercise, but also provides practical advice on how to get started with weight training, interval training and everything in between. His quote, "If exercise were a drug, it would dominate the headlines" permeates his entire thought process in convincing people about the importance of starting and maintaining a lifelong fitness routine. The supplement chapter talks about many cutting edge vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that readers should include in their regimen. Kekich is a long-time Life Extension® member and he even touts some of our studies and products, including our research on the benefits of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as a great companion to CoQ10. The remaining steps in his Seven Steps You Can Take to Put Extreme Longevity Odds on Your Side are Anti-Aging Medicine, Lifestyle, Stress Management, and Attitude. There are far too many excellent ideas and strategies dealing with each category to mention here, but suffice to say that those who buy the book will not be left wanting for details on how to live a longer, healthier life! If you have any questions on the scientific content of this article, please call a Life Extension® Health Advisor at 1-866-864-3027.

As they have since Game 2 of this series, the Oklahoma City Thunder continue to cheat off the Spurs' shooters to cut off penetration by Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Despite the shooting prowess of so many of the Spurs' wing players, the Thunder are making sure their weakside defenders (guys not guarding the ball) have a foot in the paint when a pick and roll is set, helping before the guards drive and not after.
It's a strategy that works because the Thunder are so athletic, but it's also not new. The Spurs need to figure out a counter, and quick. One good sign: Danny Green, who is struggling mightily with his shot, took advantage of the open space by attacking the defense upon receiving a kickout, creating a layup for DeJuan Blair.

I'm glad so many future right-wing militia members could get together. Will David Duke be able to make the next Tea Party?

Why so Militant? You seem to be a rude and ignorant person(stating the obvious). If you Know not of what you are speaking, you should either educate yourself or shut your mouth. Though you do "real" freedom loving Americans a great service in highlighting the true lack of decorum and weak minds of people like you have, it is still disturbing to see that fascism is alive and well in this country.

Robert Paul Perez,
I'm glad you're so proud of your Tea Bagging "real" freedom loving Americans. Maybe you should take a look at what Tea Parties and Fox News encourage. Have fun at your next right-wing hatefest.

Mr. Ray,
Once again "Case and point", in your own ignorant vile tongue. I feel so sorry for you. :(
on May 1, 2009 at 11:24 am
It was more like 200 people at most...

I strolled by the park after mailing out my return. There were 200 or less people there, most of them congregating on the sidewalks. You need to go back to preschool and learn to count again.
Even that video shows there were 200 at most...get real!
on May 1, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I guess we cant help the helpless.......watch the Video, I was there for maybe an hour as people where coming and going in the video alone the numbers are solid.
Its with out a doubt the most ignorant thing I have ever heard of that you can "SEE" the truth "with your own eyes" and still you deny it!
Hahaha.......well I guess you are the exact problem with this Country..the ignorant, narcissistic, agenda over truth, Anti-American, socialistic victim class.
Did I leave anything out? Now say something rude without a basis for truth and prove my point, or show me how wrong I am with facts and truth.....what will it be?

Come spend a week at our Lakefront home on Horseshoe Lake. Horseshoe Lake is a private all sports lake, which offers excellent waterskiing, jet skiing, fishing, swimming and ice fishing during the winter. With gas prices being as high as they are, why waste the money and time in the car. Come enjoy a barbeque or a bonfire on the water with your family and friends at this beautiful hidden gem just 10 miles north of downtown Ann Arbor.
house rental amenities
The main floor has an open floor plan, which can easily accomodate large groups. The kitchen has all the appliances you are looking for including a refridgerator, dishwasher and stove. There is also a wood burning stove in the living room, which can be a lot of fun on a cool night. We also have a large five burner propane grill outside that makes cooking for large groups a breeze. The house has centralized air conditioning and heating, which should keep you and your guests comfortable during your stay.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor including a master bedroom with a fireplace and a connected bathroom. Each of the bedrooms have queen bed. The third floor is an expansive loft area with two bunk beds that have full and twin sized beds. There is also a queen sized bed and a futon located in this room which would be perfect for the kids, or an entire family.
There is a game room above the garage, which includes a pool table, 10 foot shuffleboard table and a 50" plasma television, blu-ray player with surround sound that everyone will enjoy. We also have a Nintendo Wii with eleven games for our guests to enjoy during their stay. This room is sure to entertain all ages.
Outside we have a large deck area overlooking the lake and a large grassy area along the water where you and your guests can enjoy your time together by playing a variety of yard games, having a bonfire on the water or swimming off of our beach or dock.
We have a large driveway that can fit up to six mid-sized cars that can be used for parking during your stay. We also have a fenced-in front yard where your dogs can play. Only well behaved dogs and declawed cats are welcome.
Unfortunately, we no longer host weddings, graduation parties or other large gatherings. Also, please note that this is a large house in a wooded area that can accumulate dust and cob-webs between cleanings. Therefore, if cleanliness is a major priority for you or your guests, we courteously ask you to consider alternative housing arrangements. We do not have internet access at the house.
activities and attractions in Ann Arbor Michigan
The Links of Whitmore Lake is an 18 hole golf course, which is less than a mile away. There are several great restaurants within five miles. The private launch is just down the road, so bring your boat or jet ski and enjoy hours of fun on this private lake.
Horseshoe Lake offers some of the best fishing around. We've seen several lunkers caught and released this summer including a few from our shoreline. (See the review below that one of our guests left). The lake also contains Northern Pike and several types of panfish. Feel free to use our canoe and/or fishing equipment during your stay. Please note that the lake is treated twice per year to reduce algea growth. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed for a 24 hour period after the treatment. I won't know when the treatments will occur, but will be notified about 3-5 days ahead of time.
We also cater to all those football fans out there that are attending games at the Big House during the fall / winter months. Driving to the stadium couldn't be easier as you simply cruise down Whitmore lake road into downtown Ann Arbor and avoid the large traffic back-ups on M-23.
This is a perfect destination for people attending the Ann Arbor Art Fair. Let us know if you would like to reserve this week as it is very popular.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
