One of the founding fathers of present-day theatrical lighting design in Italy is Guido Baroni, whose lineage in lighting stretches back four generations. His daughter Lucilla carries on the tradition, and specializes in lighting contemporary dance. From their hometown of Florence, Guido and Lucilla reminisced about lighting the way for Italian LDs.
"My great-grandfather Niccolo started lighting stages at the turn of the century in Florentine opera houses, and my grandfather Mario worked from the 1920s to the 60s experimenting with custom and industrial lighting," Lucilla Baroni explains. "My grandfather also supplied and managed the lighting systems of the Verdi Theatre, from 1942 to 46, and the Pergola, from 1947 to 60."
The lighting rental and production firm Niccolo founded was passed on to Mario. With Guido and his brother Sergio, the firm was relaunched as B.B.B. Guido Baroni picks up the story in the 1940s. "When touring companies came to the theatres, I helped out as an electrician, and for shows, particularly operas, produced in-house, also designed the lighting," he relates. "In the early post-war years, I worked full-time at the Pergola with my father. It was very unusual in that period for touring companies to have all the hardware necessary for a show, never mind their own electrician. I first met Giorgio Strehler, the young, self-taught director of Caligula, in 1946; for that production he also designed the costumes and set and played a part. I worked with him shortly after on Shakespeare's The Tempest."
Accepting Strehler's long-standing invitation to work with him at the Piccolo Teatro della Citta di Milano, Baroni moved up north for the 1962-63 season, which included Brecht's Life of Galileo. "I saw his style and precision first-hand, his familiarity with the means at his disposal and his great sensitivity for lighting. At one point, he drew my attention to an almost imperceptible yellowish tinge in what should have been white lighting, caused by reflections from the narrow wooden frames of blackboards brought on to the set. He also asked me to recreate what he called sunlight's 'slight vibration, due to the air, dust particles, and so on.'"
This environment proved a hotbed for Baroni's creative flair: In a scene requiring an abstract, he used 500W white and blue Agfa photofloods, adding fluorescent tubes for a cold feeling. But the white-painted insides of the scoops used to light the wings and backdrop gave the wrong tone, so he had them lined with silver paper, making the light greyer. "At half-past five in the morning, after dress rehearsal, Strehler continued suggesting to me changes in cues, and to the actors better ways of saying their lines," the LD recalls. Besides Strehler, Guido Baroni has worked with more than 100 directors of the caliber of Ken Russell, Jonathan Miller, Jean-Louis Barrault, Erwin Piscator, and Leon Pabst, not to mention world-famous Italians including Visconti, Zeffirelli, Olmi, and De Filippo.
In 1964 Baroni returned to Florence, where he was LD for the famous Maggio Musicale festival until 1985. But his experience extended far beyond the confines of the Teatro Comunale. "As we had the first theatrical lighting firm in Florence, we were called on to illuminate all kinds of events--ballet, shows for children, concerts, operetta, and cabaret--but our speciality was definitely opera." The Baroni family lit all kinds of shows (conventions, art exhibitions, expos, and fashion events) in all kinds of places, such as discos, abandoned sheds, piazzas, and parks.
Florence's first important fashion shows were held in Palazzo Pitti's famous White Room in the 1950s as an elegant alternative to Paris; with his printed fabrics, Emilio Pucci was the top as far as stylistic innovation was concerned. During the period of the shows, there were dinners and dances in Florence's most exclusive venues, for which Guido Baroni was also in charge of the lighting. In the 1970s, parades were organized like shows, and Massimo Massimini (one of the period's top directors) put stylists such as Armani and Genny in the spotlight. "We were always on the lookout for new ideas as far as set design and lighting were concerned," says Baroni, "and this sector hadn't yet been submerged by the avalanche of light required for TV."
It was during this period that Lucilla became enmeshed in lighting. "I inherited his passion for theatre lighting, but in high school didn't dream of following in my father's footsteps," she says. "I wanted to work in the theatre, so I enrolled in Bologna University's Disciplines of Art, Music, and Spectacle (DAMS) course, and built up experience in all sectors of show business, like acting, make-up, directing, and video work. But I almost always ended up working on the lights in every production, and finally got my degree with a thesis on theatre lighting from the end of the century up to that time, based on research into my family's work."
Lucilla had already assisted her father on the occasional production by the time she finished high school, and served her apprenticeship with the firm when studies permitted. After university, she joined the company, and her first design, La scuola delle fanciulle (completed when she was 20) received good notices.
Besides lecturing at Florence's Fine Arts Academy 1971-78, Guido has held courses in Genoa, Rimini, and Siena, and taught many members of the new generation of technicians and LDs. He was also guest speaker on lighting in Paris for the video Jours et nuits du theatre in 1991. "The difference between what I taught aspiring directors and set designers and the topics of the courses for theatre electricians is that the former were more interested in the aesthetic aspect of the work and the latter in the technical side. But two indispensable elements, neither of which can be taught, are fantasy and intuition."
In the 1980s, Lucilla and her cousin Marco joined B.B.B. They changed its name to B&B, but Marco recently left the trade and the firm now bears Lucilla's name. Her father helps with management and design work, and they have an installation and production crew. In the 1990s, B&B lit a series of shows celebrating Italian fashion, such as "The White Room: The Birth of Italian Fashion," held in Florence in 1992 and at the Louvre a year later.
Regarding her career, Lucilla says, "My work as an LD and lighting director with the Balletto di Toscana [one of Italy's best-known contemporary dance companies, founded in 1985] has taken me to France, Russia, and the International Dance Festival in the Canary Islands." She has worked extensively with the Florence Dance Theatre and was entrusted with lighting Italy's contemporary dance and ballet shows at Iraq's Babylon International Festival in 1993.
Lucilla has also designed lighting for musicals produced at Marches-based Compagnia della Rancia, including Little Shop of Horrors, A Chorus Line, and Il Giorno della Tartaruga (a tribute to Italian musical writers Garinei and Giovannini), all of which toured Italy. "Although I prefer to go out with shows I've designed and personally take the responsibility of any changes to be made to adapt the rig and design to suit theatres' structures, budgets don't always stretch to that," she says.
Since 1992, Lucilla has concentrated on contemporary dance, finding the latter more satisfying from a lighting standpoint and working with many of Italy's up-and-coming choreographers, including Elisabetta Vittoni and Versiglia Danza. Two unusual projects were Chevalier de Pas, in which Angela Torriani's contemporary dance was combined with selections by Flavia Sparapani (one of Italy's leading Renaissance dance experts), and a 1996 theatrical adaptation of the Canticle of Saint Francis, staged in front of some of Italy's most beautiful churches.
The Baroni firm has also designed lighting for expos and promotional events by Fiat, Ungaro, Valentino, and Cerrutti. Lucilla says, "As far as expos are concerned, my 'secret' is lighting them as if they were stage sets. With theatre work, I prefer to use traditional instruments, as I look for a certain quality in my lighting that neither scanners nor color changers can give me--but I'd be lost without a computer nowadays, particularly for dance productions.
"I think my designs stand out for my choice of colors: Color is definitely fundamental, and I feel designing is like painting," Lucilla continues. "I've got my favorite instruments, and use them in association with the intrinsic meaning of the show or event in question, but it's indispensable to immerse yourself in the show and contribute to the overall rhythm with the lights. The most unusual light source I've used to date, initially called Uvistra, is slightly different today and is called Ultramed. It creates a diffused light which slowly increases, passing through various ultraviolet tones and generating an alienating, metaphysical atmosphere--we used this in the Florence Dance Theatre production of Lost in the Stars, but the effect this lamp gives is extremely difficult to photograph. Although I'm sure TV could be interesting, I prefer theatre work, as I love dark atmosphere and selected areas in lighting, two things you can't reconcile with TV shooting."
Guido and Lucilla are committee members of the Italian Lighting Designers Association (ALI), but both are rather pessimistic about the body's future. An overall lack of participation by members in its various activities, due to work schedules and frequent travel, has hamstrung the association. "ALI has also run into numerous bureaucratic and administrative obstacles, as the institutions aren't the least interested in giving official recognition to the profession of lighting designer," says Guido Baroni. Lucilla adds, "My work as general secretary of ALI includes administrative, writing, and PR work such as organizing roundtables held at the SIB show. At these, directors, set designers, and critics have discussed the artistic role of lighting designers, always relegated to too-brief mentions in Italian show reviews."
Called in as technical consultant for the restoration of several theatres in Tuscany and Umbria in the 1980s, Guido Baroni was also appointed by Florence's mayor to design lighting for the city's principal monuments on the occasion of the Italia 90 celebrations. Though recently retired from full-time work, he has kept busy by helping Lucilla and researching new technical solutions for problems posed by directors, a constant stimulus for creating new ideas. He also builds light "sculptures," usually made with recycled materials and painted lenses, glass, and Plexiglas, lit from the inside. His career has spanned endless technical changes.
"There were still water and salt dimmers when I started out, and we lit a stage with just a few luminaires. In the 1950s, my decision to put luminaires in the hall at the Pergola was really revolutionary," he says. "Resourcefulness and manual dexterity have always been the basis of my work: Although apparently impeccable, new hardware always lacks something, and despite ongoing technical development in lighting, I've always preferred an artisan approach. Through the years, this has enabled me to put 'impossible' theories and ideas into practice; it also led to my grandfather inventing a piano to turn lighting on and off in sync with the music, and my father coming up with some rudimentary reflectors made with metal buckets. My advice to today's theatre LDs is: Learn when and how to use the right instrument or lamp, but don't be afraid to go against the 'rules' and experiment with instruments and lamps for uses they aren't ordinarily intended for. You'll know you've achieved your goal when the whole show's harmonious: My motto is 'When the audience doesn't notice the lighting, you've got it right.'"

CATEGORIES Movies, Fan Made, News/Reactions, Fan Movies, Sci-FiWe nerds are a pretty creative bunch. When we're not watching hours and hours of Buffy reruns or adding Wordpress widgets to our blogs, we can usually be found doing some very inventive and nerdy stuff, like R2D2-ing a giant dome building or fashioning an At-At bunk bed out of plastic pipes and wood.
Some of us even express our nerdiness/fandom through filmmaking, like J.T. Tepnapa and Carlos Pedraza, the guys behind the fan film series Star Trek: Phase II and Star Trek: Hidden Frontier. Sure, these Trek fan flicks might not be as impressive as, say, that ultraviolent Mortal Kombat short that popped up the other day, but they're still a lot of fun to watch, and they sometimes feature themes, like living with AIDS and homosexuality, that cannon Trek rarely, if ever, touches on.
After years of writing, directing and starring in Star Trek fan films, Tepnapa and Pedraza are starting production on their first non-Trek inspired indie feature, Judas Kiss.
The flick stars Caprica actor Richard Harmon (he played Heracles, the dude who helped guide Joseph and Tamara Adama through the virtual game). In Judas Kiss, Harmon reportedly plays a gay student at a school that exists "at the crossroads of parallel timelines." Harmon also played a small role in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
Tepnapa and Pedraza will chat about the flick's plot a little more in a recorded interview with Airlock Alpha, which will start streaming later tonight. They're billing the movie as "Sliding Doors meets A Christmas Carol," which sounds nerdy enough for me. I say we celebrate these Trek geeks for their passion and for having the guts and follow through to get their unique vision onscreen. Why not? Nerds getting together to do nerdy stuff in film should always be celebrated.

Christmas Day shopping is not a typical activity.
But neither was shopping on Thanksgiving, until Black Friday became Grey Thursday this year.
Shopping on Dec. 25 was definitely limited, but where stores were open, folks took full advantage.
There was a boot-buying frenzy at Sundance Shoes, one of the shops on The Boardwalk in West Bloomfield.
"Our customers look forward to it every year," said Rob Wolk, the owner of Sundance.
And this is no flash-in-the-pan idea for Wolk. He said this is the 15th year Sundance has been on Christmas Day.
But West Bloomfield wasn't the only place open for business Tuesday.
The deals were also plentiful at Spectacles in downtown Detroit. Everything was half-off, which attracted a good number of unexpecting shoppers.
Fox 2's Ronnie Dahl traveled from West Bloomfield to downtown Detroit, on a mission to see what goodies were available for hardcore shoppers on Christmas Day.

With the Titans struggling to find a rhythm on offense over the last couple of seasons, it certainly seems like there was an opportunity there for a running back like Jamie Harper to make his mark. A fourth-round pick in 2011 out of Clemson, Harper failed to make an impact as a rookie while starter Chris Johnson struggled, and then carried the ball just 19 times during the 2012 season.
The Titans released Harper on Wednesday, making him a free agent.
Johnson got nearly every carry for the Titans in 2012, while Harper had 19 attempts for 30 yards and three touchdowns. He matched his career high when he ran for 19 yards on six carries against the Packers in Week 16. The Titans finished 21st in rushing and 23rd in scoring last season en route to a 6-10 finish.
In a corresponding move, the team signed former Jaguars running back Jalen Parmele. Selected by the Dolphins in the sixth-round of the 2008 draft out of Toledo, Parmele carried the ball 40 times for Jacksonville last season for 143 yards in eleven games. He had just seven carries over his first four seasons in the league.
For now, Harper will take his place in the free agent pool.

Tuusula Artist Community
The dream of a lakeside home in the countryside yet close to the capital appealed to young Finnish artists a hundred years ago. The author Juhani Aho and his artist wife Venny Soldan-Brofeldt moved near Tuusulanjärvi in 1897 and were soon followed by Eero Järnefelt, Jean Sibelius, Pekka Halonen and their families. The time they spent together sharing their ideals made the Tuusula artist community unique in Finnish history.
Around the turn of the 20th century, an artist community grew on the eastern shore of Lake Tuusula when a number of leading representatives of Finnish cultural life moved to live and work there with their families: the writer Juhani Aho and the artist Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, the composer Jean Sibelius, the painters Eero Järnefelt and Pekka Halonen, and the poet J. H. Erkko.
The Tuusula community was founded at a politically restless time. Many artists felt oppressed by the mood in Helsinki, and the city's busy social life with its amusements took its toll on their creative work. They were drawn to the shores of Lake Tuusula by the beautiful scenery and the peace and quiet it offered for work. Yet they were not too far from the cultural life of the capital: the journey by train from Järvenpää to Helsinki took one and a half hours.
A new exhibition opening in autumn 2013 presents the life of the community and its fascinating artist homes, including a wide range of art and artefacts. The curators of the exhibition are Riitta Konttinen and Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff.

Cabin: We had a veranda balcony room seemed somewhat smaller than we had on the Maasdam. Limited storage space for 14 day cruise. Service was very good and timely.
Entertainment: Production shows OK but music is getting stale. Would be better if newer music was introduced into productions. Movies were provided in the "Screening Room" daily which proved to be useless with only 30 seats available. Considering that this cruise occurred during the Holiday Season and to Hawaii was amazed at the lack of Christmas and Hawaiian music or Hawaiian themed activities. Thankfully HAL did have Kaimoa who represented the Hawaiian culture and provided a lot of good information on Hawaii. Without his presence there were few if any Hawaiian activities. Needed more activities on ocean days and more interaction from cruise director.
Food: We had open seating and overall the food seemed better than we have had in the past. Pinnacle Grill excellent and well worth the extra charge. Should continue to offer flavored coffee in Lido.
Ports: All very good, was surprised how crowed and cosmopolitan Waikiki had become. Would skip in future.

I saw an old telephone pole on the side of the road awhile back, but it was covered in staples from yard sale signs and what not
Sandbags is a great idea. On lower body days I need more weight, what I have now is fine for getting some blood into my hams and everything I do for upper body.
They're cheap too, I'll have to look into that
Good work today, Lones. I tried pulling the sled on grass once and it was epic, lol. Do you use it as a conditioning tool or more for strength/extra volume? Though I guess either way you use it counts as a conditioning tool, haha.
Just as some extra work and to raise my GPP. Like I said, with some more weight, pulling it after my ME lower days would be brutal and would probably build some good strength in my hams.

Squatted on the outside of a power rack, smashed my fingers a few good times and lacked the confidence of having 300 lb men spotting me. All in all, it wasn't too bad of a session. Just trying to keep weight on my back and keep my strength maintained at home, then really push it at cell block.
Form felt okay, I still am leaning in the hole a little, but I didn't feel my butt come up before the rest of my body...I think it takes a little more weight for me to start doing that
Nice pulling!
I've mashed my fingers before doing that as well. Really hurts

Nice PR on the rack pulls. I've got an EFS rickshaw now, going to strap that ****er with bands
Nice pulling, brother. Ouch, I can't imagine the pain of catching my finger under a pile of weight! Hope it works out ok for you, man.

Finally broke past that floor press, missed 245 the last 2 times I've done em. This time I hit it with a close grip. It went up pretty easy too. Thought about 275 but I took my PR instead of being greedy. I used some mats under me to make it a bit easier on the shoulders and elbows. It worked wonders, I could tell a difference even with the bar. They were kind of like yoga mats, used 4 of them. I recommend doing this!
Bench is coming along. I'll be by myself next week for ME bench so I'll have to figure out something to do, may take it as a deload and do some DB presses or something. After that I think I'll go 4 board raw then put on the shirt and go to a 2 board. Saw this in Paul's log and figured I'd try it. Figured I'd do some shirt work every 4 or 5 weeks just to stay familiar with it.
Awesome PR, Lones. All that extra volume seems to really be helping.
So I woke up this morning and my lower back was stiff as a board. Tried walking around a bit and did some band GM's to loosen things up. Threw some blue heat on, alternating heat and ice, doing contrast showers, etc. Now its a bit looser and its turned into a dull pain in the bottom of my right low back. Not sure what it is, but only certain movements bother it. I can't recall anything I did to bother it, no falls, no tweaks, nothing. Needless to say, no training today. If it doesn't shape up by in the morning I'll be heading to the doctor.
Hey sometimes just moving the wrong way can throw something off in your back...I hope it is nothing and feels better in the morning but do get it checked out before you train if it still hurts. Hope it feels better.

Podcast: Good communication is a valuable tool
Jul 26, 2013 2:00 PM | Print
This WSU Newsline Podcast is available at http://www.wichita.edu/newslinepodcast. See the transcript below:
You're listening to the podcast edition of the Wichita State University audio newsline. Learn more about WSU on the Web at wichita.edu.
Good communication is a valuable tool at home, work, school or play. Ray Hull, an audiologist at Wichita State University, wrote a story for The Hearing Journal last year on the importance of honing your communication skills.
Hull: "In order to be a good communicator, we must communicate clearly, directly and openly. An important rule in business relationships, for example, is don't expect others to read your mind, because they may be incorrect."
The importance of communication shouldn't be underestimated, according to Hull.
Hull: "Much of what we do in our day-to-day interactions with our colleagues, our friends, our clients, involves communication in one form or another. It's imperative that we become familiar with the processes involved with interpersonal communication in order to become successful."
The fact is, most of us aren't as good at communicating as we think we are. Hull explains.
Hull: "I think the reason that we're not as good communicators as we might be is that we have not had good models for communication, good interpersonal communication from childhood on."
Hull says it should come as no surprise that those who communicate the best usually experience more success.
Hull: "The better we are in this aspect of our life, the more successful we will become. All else being equal, equal education, equal preparation, it's often the basis upon which we choose our physician, our dentist, our favorite place to eat, our hairdresser, even our grocery store."
Taking ownership of a mistake and admitting we're wrong doesn't come easily or naturally, but it's an important step to take in communicating effectively.
Hull: "Another tip for good communication is that if we're wrong, we must admit it. Sometimes an apology is all that's necessary to end a potential conflict."
Nonverbal communication can significantly impact effective interpersonal communication. Nonverbal expression can be as powerful as verbal, and Hull says it's important that we recognize its effects.
Hull: "In regard to nonverbal communication, actions can give positive or negative impressions. This involves everything from our handshake to how we sit. Nonverbal messages can enhance or diminish how we communicate. We have to keep in mind that positive or negative first impressions are determined within the first two minutes of entering a room, for example."
Effective interpersonal communication is paramount in meetings, interviews and presentations, when challenging policy with colleagues, or even when talking with patients, according to Hull.
Hull: "And we must learn how to present ourselves. We have to practice presenting our self in a calm manner, to make people feel at ease. We all know someone who has the ability to make us feel accepted and nurtured, which is a wonderful attribute to success."
Hull says some people do not possess skill in interpersonal communication simply because they may not do well in attending to all of the sometimes complex events that can occur during such interactions. But in order to be fruitful in our daily interactions with those with whom we communicate, whether it be in matters of love, family, business, public speaking engagements or even political campaigns, it is imperative that we learn how to effectively engage in this complex, but important aspect of life.
In addition, Hull says effective interpersonal communication does not mean always winning; rather it means being able to create and convey appropriate responses, to identify and explain creative solutions that are acceptable to those with whom we are communicating, and to motivate them to positive change through direct verbal interaction, our body language and through a positive atmosphere of interpersonal communication that we create.
Thanks for listening. Until next time, this is Joe Kleinsasser for Wichita State University.

Taft began working for the county part-time in May 1995 but was hired full-time as a clerk in September.
Walker County Probate Judge Rick Allison said Taft had worked in every department within the Probate Office over the years before being appointed to the position of Chief Clerk in 2001, following the retirement of then-chief clerk Nelda Barton.
"Rita has done a great job and she has earned this (her retirement). I've tried to talk her out of it," Allison said. "But she's ready to go and I don't blame her, because it's what she has worked so hard for all these years."
Allison said Friday will officially be Taft's last day on the job, but a special reception is being held Wednesday from 2 until 4 p.m. at the Probate Office to celebrate her retirement.
Taft said she is looking forward to spending time with her family. Taft and her husband, Terry, have been married 42 years and have two children, Brian Taft and Jenny Talley. They also have three grandchildren, Dayton Talley, Julianna Talley and Daxton Talley.
"My husband is also retired, and we're looking forward to spending time with our grandchildren," Taft said. "I love my job, but I felt it was just time for me to retire."
Taft said her time at the Probate Office has been very interesting, and she has enjoyed working with everyone.
"We've had some really good times and I've really enjoyed working with Judge Allison and everyone here at the office," Taft said. "There have been several memorable moments over the years, a few scary ones at times, but all in all I've enjoyed it."
Allison said Taft will be greatly missed by those who have worked with her over the years.
"Rita has been a great chief clerk. She has been my right-hand and I'm going to miss her dearly, but I hope she will have a long and enjoyable retirement," Allison said. "She hasn't always agreed with what I've had to say, and she didn't hesitate to make me aware of that at times. But that's OK, because we all need someone to help us stay focused and on course, and Rita was that person."
Pat Murphree said she has worked with Taft over 17 years.
"Rita has been there for me through thick and thin. She's been a backbone for me and my family through many tough times, at work and outside work," Murphree said. "She has taught me many values and work ethics that have helped me in many different ways. I have enjoyed working with her. I wish her the best, because I know how much she wants to be with and enjoy her grandchildren.
Jacelyn Nesbitt said she is worried about Taft leaving but hopes Taft enjoys her retirement and will come back to visit often.
"With Rita leaving, we might all starve or at least lose 10 pounds. I'll miss her cornbread most of all," Nesbitt said. "She isn't too bad a person either. I'm just kidding. I love her and will miss her very much."
June Clark said she too will miss having Taft around everyday.
"Rita is a wonderful person to work for and with. She's professional, a great cook, caring, considerate, thoughtful and has a good sense of humor that really helps in a sometimes stressful workplace," Clark said.
Jan Gregory said she has learned a lot from working with Taft over the past 15 years because Taft is the virtue of patiences and strength when needed and compassionate with all of the employees.
"Family comes first with Rita, and she has instilled that in all of us through the years," Gregory said. "I have a lot of fond memories of working with her over the years that I will always cherish. But all I can say is...not all angels have wings."

The city of St. Paul is asking residents to water their trees due to abnormally-dry weather conditions.
The dry weather is putting stress on trees and that can lead to a weakened condition which makes trees more susceptible to illness, disease and premature death. While some types of trees are more tolerant of water stress than others, current dry conditions call for all trees to be watered.
Signs a tree is suffering from water stress
Watering guidelines
Watering should be done in the early morning or evening for best results.
For large trees
For smaller trees
Due to the lack of rainfall, one or two isolated storms will not bring enough consistent water that trees need. Residents are asked to not only water their private trees, but to also water public boulevard trees that may abut their property.
Residents with questions are encouraged to contact St. Paul's professional Forestry staff at 651-632-5129 or visit the city's website.

School board members take umbrage at allegations of possible Brown Act violations

In my opinion, very few local government agencies are doing as much as they could to utilize the capabilities of the Internet/WEB to make information that is in the public domain available freely, and inexpensively, to the public. One exception is the City of Menlo Park, which provides a log of all emails to its City Council on its web-site:
Web Link
Most of the work needed to collect, and create the web-pages can be performed with reasonably simple computer programs/scripts. Filtering for objectionable language is also easily done via computer, as is the removal of any identification information in the email headers.
In addition, with a little work, the incoming emails could be categorized by topic, and a weekly report for the Superintendent, and the Board, generated at no extra costgiving these folks an accurate tally of the volume of email received, and a breakdown of the email, by topics.
It's difficult to envision any "ramifications" for the PAUSD that are any different than any other local governing agency, where posting public domain information is concerned. So, let's hope that the PAUSD Board will see the value of operating in a more transparent fashion in the future, and post all of District's informational matter on-line, as well as the Board's incoming/outgoing email, too.

I want the Superintendant to test ideas in public, not through a series of separate meetings or communications. Members of the school board should have ceased this behavior themselves, correcting the action, not waiting to be caught.
Open exchange of ideas and transparency in making decisions is what I expect from the board and Superintendant. To me, the Brown Act and whether it applies is not important, but if legal action is the only way to fix the problem, I support if enthusiastically.
on Jun 1, 2012 at 9:33 am
It is very surprising that the Board and District are under pressure for conducting it's business outside the public eye, and SIMULTANEOUSLY the district is conducting the Gunn counselling committee without any parents or students.
Why are they hiding this?
Really, if they want to retain credibility, they should include the community, not reject it's involvement.
If the Board were serious about giving real evidence of openness, they would demand that the Gunn committee studying guidance be represented with 51% majority parents and students. Allowing this to proceed in secret is just wasting time and money, as they will need to do it over.

Nutrition for the Underserved: The Implications
The University of Minnesota Extension Health and Nutrition program conducted focus groups with limited resource individuals throughout Minnesota.
The purpose of the focus groups was to explore the:
- Strengths and assets of the participants
- Barriers to participation
- Preferred methods of learning
- Improved methods for program design and delivery
- Alternative ways to encourage program participation
Results were analyzed for four different audiences: Somali, African American, Latino, and Caucasian.
While the focus groups were conducted to assess the quality and effectiveness of the University of Minnesota Health and Nutrition program, the implications are useful for other organizations who work with limited resource individuals.
The following white papers summarize the focus group results and implications:
- Somali (33 KB PDF)
- See the related article in Journal of Extension: Designing Nutrition Education Programs for Somali Audiences: The Role of Cultural and Religious Practices
- African American (35 KB PDF)
- Latino (31 KB PDF)

ASK PLAYBILL.COM: A Question About Eugene O'Neill's Birthplace, in a Broadway Hotel
By Robert Simonson
Ask Playbill.com answers your (and sometimes our own) theatre-related questions. To ask a question, email email@example.com. Please specify how you would like your name displayed and please include the city in which you live.
Question: I came across a plaque at the base of a skyscraper at 43rd and Broadway in Times Square that indicated that Eugene O'Neill was born on that site. But I thought he was born at the Knickerbocker Hotel one block south, on 42nd Street. Can you provide information about O'Neill's birthplace and circumstances? —L.R.J., Louisville, KY
When Eugene O'Neill died on Nov. 27, 1953, in Room 401 of the Sheraton Hotel on Bay State Road in Boston, he reportedly said, "I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room — and Goddamn it — died in a hotel room."
O'Neill was indeed born in a hotel room. His father was famed 19th-century actor James O'Neill, who was constantly touring the United States and spent much of each year in various rented hotel rooms. Eugene's date of birth was Oct. 16, 1888, and the place was the Barrett House, a small, family-style hotel facing what was then known as Longacre Square, at the corner of Broadway and 43rd Street. James O'Neill had moved his wife, Ella, into Barrett House in late August 1888 to await the birth of her third child, while he went on tour with The Count of Monte Cristo.
The Barrett House was not a grand old hotel at the time, but it was modern, reaching eight stories and boasting elevators. It has existed for only five years when the O'Neills took a room. It was opened by two brothers, William C. and Hooper C. Barrett. William died suddenly of blood poisoning following an operation in 1893. He was 46. By 1901, Hooper had lost control of the hotel and become a bankrupt. Hooper died in 1936.
The Barrett later became the Cadillac Hotel. Eugene O'Neill lived to see his birthplace leveled. The building was razed in 1940. It had managed to last 57 years — a long time in the ever-changing world of Times Square. At the time, it was called "old" and a neighborhood "landmark" by the press. Some time later, O'Neill said, "There is only empty air now where I came into this world." He was sentimental about the spot, and kept an old picture of the Barrett House among his possessions. Today the site (1500 Broadway) includes a Starbucks.
The story of the plaque honoring O'Neill is nearly as eventful as the life it honors. It was dedicated on Oct. 16, 1957, the anniversary of the writer's birth, at the northeast corner of 43rd and Broadway. The plaque was donated by José Quintero and Theodore Mann, who founded the Circle in the Square theatre company, which made it reputation reviving O'Neill plays and restoring the dramatist's reputation. It "was fixed to a pillar in front of a store building on the site, one of the most bustling corners of Manhattan," future O'Neill scholar, Arthur Gelb, wrote at the time.
The plaque was then lost in 1961. It vanished during the renovation of a shoe store that occupied the site. The contractors trusted with it had misplaced it, angering many in the theatre community.
A new plaque was introduced on Nov. 27, 1973, by Theodore Mann. Among those in attendance, according to an article in the New York Times, were Tennessee Williams, Geraldine Page, Brooks Atkinson, and James Earl Jones. There was a snag in the ceremony, though. The plaque was hung at 44th Street and Broadway, one block north of where the Barrett House actually stood. Director Jose Quintero and actors Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards were actually waiting on 43rd Street, thinking the ceremony would be there.
Nearly 40 years after it disappeared, the original 1957 plaque was found in the offices of Cushman & Wakefield, the property manager for Times Square Plaza. It was rededicated on Oct. 16, 2000, at the northeast corner of 43rd and Broadway, where it hangs today. According to Susan Frankel, who sits on the board of the Circle in the Square Theatre School, "The rededication in 2000 was attended at the very least by Paul Libin, Ted Mann, Arthur and Barbara Gelb and Martin Segal."

A dress code disagreement left a Tulsa family upset and a little girl in tears.
Terrance Parker says the school hassled him so much about his daughter's hair, he removed her from the school.
7-year old Tiana has dreadlocks and it's against school rules. Administrators said Mr. Parker was fully aware what was expected.
CNN affiliate KOKI reviewed the school's dress code. It states, "Hairstyles such as dreadlocks, afros, Mohawks, and other faddish styles are unacceptable.
The school feels her hairstyle could be a distraction.
Tiana's father moved her to another school. She has the same hair style and officials at her new school don't have a problem with her hair.

McMinnville woman fights off assailant; suspect in custody
Aug 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
News-Register Staff
A downtown store employee foiled an attempted sexual abuse on Wednesday, by screaming and fighting until her assailant fled, McMinnville police said.
Police have arrested Trinidad Dario Padilla, 44, of McMinnville in relation to the incident.
Padilla, who is on post-prison supervision for attempted first-degree rape, had been living in subsided housing at the jail. He has now been returned to jail on a charge of probation violation.
Police said they anticipate adding charges of attempted first-degree rape, kidnapping and sex abuse.
Padilla had apparently been watching the downtown McMinnville store and the employee for several days, police said. About 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, when the employee was alone, he entered the store, forced the woman into the back and tried to assault her. She screamed and fought until he fled, then she ran to a nearby store and called 911.
Police said the two do not appear to have known each other.
Police are withholding the name and address of the store to protect the woman's identity.
Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to call McMinnville police, at 503-434-7307.

im not sure what its from im thinking david bradly or gravely. i was at auction were i bought three items from the same guy and he had a couple gravelys, they were all pull behinds one pin hookup. my neigber said the plow in pic is a 6 or 8 inch plow. probally why it works so good pulling it. im making em all so i can slide em in a 2x2 box reciver i got two done but the plow in pic. i got to fix the handle crank thingy that will tip the plow up and down it either skims or plows to china now. ill post some pics soon ,,,the other two are nice but only 40 inches wide i think. paid 80 bucks for all three i figured id try em. was looking for a box blade and a rear scoop but they dident have any of those and the $ was burning a hole in my pocket..steve
Re: cub 154 single plow
here is the other attechments i thought the were all for a farmall a becouse the were red and my farmall a dont have a rear hitch, so i no nothing about hitches or tractors ,i thought mabee they were for the fast hitch but no.... but i did know the front plow would work with the right brackets for the lowboy the packer thing with the spring teeth hanging down workes good for loosing the dirt up i used em all towing behind my lawn tractor last year but it was killing it thats y i bought the lowboy with the 3 point aint farming just burning gas playing around with em garding hopefully.. pics are bad but ther from last fall
Re: cub 154 single plow
Nice attachments, I like having the 3pt hitch. I think its the most popular invention that changed the history of farming for ever at the time.
I fabricated a 3pt single tooth ripper so i could attach it to my int154 cub loboy with the 3pt hitch. I wanted to pull up and out the small rocks in my field. The little mower land mines turned out way bigger than i thought. The little rocks that stuck up were just the tip of the "rock bergs" The ripper did pull out the smaller rocks but really loosened up the larger boulders which my fcub with the duallies gladly ripped out of the holes. It was a team effort with both tractors. I'm still not done yet but i'll wait for my backhoe to be finished to do the rest of them for they appear to be even bigger. The ripper tooth does loosen up the hard pack really easy.
My fcub with the cultivators also chewed thru lots of small roots from the over growth we cut on my land since '57 its been not taken care ofr and just let go. I then went thru it with the 100 cub cadet with the rear tiller to chop up everything else. Then my int154 with the snowplow/dirt blade smoothed it all out and now i have a spot o plant my corn.
At the rear of my property we cut about 30'+ back of the over grown brush too. Again the 100 w/ tiller went in after the fcub w/cultivators tore up those roots too. I'm reclaiming my land and finding out i have more land than i thought at first. We took more than 15 rack body truck loads of the over grown brush so far.
My point is i run and use them all as a team, my little excavation company surely can do some damage too. When i purchased this estate sale i never knew it needed this much work. But anyone of these awesome IH machines will do the work. I'm glad i have them all. Bill
BTW; My next attack for my IH equipment will be at my camp/land in VT. This land is untouched for well over 75 years now. And wall to wall timber. I just want to clean up the blow downs and cut little roads so the cubs will fit in them so i have access to the wood and the deer will use the roads for trails too go from the bottom land to the upper part of the mountain.

Bernadette Peters and Patti LuPone in Wicked
Had the international megahit Wicked been produced in the late 70s, we would love to imagine that two-time Tony winners Bernadette Peters and Patti LuPone would have shared the stage as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. We can almost hear Peters asking, "It's good to see me, isn't it?" or belting out "Popular," and the thought of LuPone literally soaring with "Defying Gravity" is equally thrilling.

This is so not funny. The shut down will slowly erode any progress made in the economy. People will start to lose jobs and it is the House's fault. The TP Republicans have been wanting to shut the Government down since they got into office. So as the economy goes south you only have the Republicans to blame. This is the Republicans economy that is about to happen.
I guess it's back to breast feeding since your WIC check ain't come#govtshutdownpickuplines
I agree Morrie, I don't see a damn thing funny. The GOP/baggers have been in permanent tantrum mode for the past 5 years. They have been planning this shutdown since Willard lost 11 months ago.
After seeing some of the posts on here about how this is Obama's fault, or the Dems fault, but no way in heII the republicants fault... I am beginning to see how some of these tea baggers got elected. Obviously we have a percentage of Americans who think FAUX News is actually reporting (gulp) real news.
Ted Cruz fakes a fillibuster for 21 hours and then votes yay on the bill (perhaps it should be changed to voting yay-hoo)
The GOP – now morphed into the Grand Opposition Party are radical extremeists by any standard. These rouge representatives have proven they will stop at nothing to get their own way. The damages incurred upon the government and the american populace at large begs a class action suit for damages incurred. Their mentality is so
dangerous it would not be surpising if they resorted to marching in with AK 47's. Impeach the rogues.
These people are laughing because it the shutdown hasn't directly effected them yet. They have a wakeup call coming very soon.
I watched the GOP after the shutdown and their little meeting, all walking down the halls of congress, giving their high five signs, etc – like a bunch of high school kids who just toilet papered all the opposing teams houses! We really need some grown men with an honorable, ethical and decent character in both houses of congress.
The good news is that all of the furloughed government workers probably qualify for totally free, government paid for Obamacare, free food stamps and probably many other government freebies. Let no crisis go unused to bilk the government/taxpayers and line your pockets.
Someday – the fools who voted for the fools in power will stop blaming the Reps and tea party...someday.
It is funny to Congress. Why shouldn't it be funny to those of us who can afford Internet access?
Yeah, cuz this is super funny to those 800,000 furloughed workers and their families...not to mention the small businesses that will see revenue drops as a result of the GOP/Teatrolls essentially adding 800,000 to the unemployment list.

This was bouncing around in Twitter's echo chamber. I believe the original finder is @TaylorThirwell who kept the blog Crosley Field Terrace. This must be that massive crockpot that was installed on the Riverfront during the 1952 World Chili Cook Off. Or possibly a concept matte painting for Riverfront Stadium on an aerial photograph of downtown Cincinnati. The tweet also links to these two images of Cinergy Field re-design concepts. The exterior looks like putting makeup on a cookie-cutter pig, but the inside seems nice - if a little Wrigley. Now, more than ever, I'm guessing the city wishes it had gussied up the old stadium and skipped Paul Brown entirely. Though it's unclear to what extent retrofitting Riverfront would have represented a long-term savings over building GABP, with its entirely new skeleton, more sustainable (hopefully) design elements and novelty factor.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — There were no sighs of relief, no jumps for joy when the New York Jets found out they wouldn't have to worry about Rob Gronkowski this week.
Sure, the New England Patriots lost perhaps the league's top playmaking tight end for a few weeks with a broken forearm. But Rex Ryan's team knew better than to celebrate.
"I don't know," Ryan said, shaking his head. "They have five tight ends on their roster, so I don't know if they'll put another guy in that role. I'm not sure how they'll do it."
If Ryan has learned anything in his nearly four seasons as coach of the Jets, it's that Bill Belichick usually finds a way to win no matter who's out there — or isn't — on the field for the Patriots. Ryan also knows New England can change the personnel, but as long as it's still Tom Brady's bunch, it'll be a tough task.
"When you look at him," Ryan said, "you can almost say he's a machine back there."
And Ryan is right about the Patriots' glut of tight ends. Aaron Hernandez could return for the game against the Jets (4-6) tonight at MetLife Stadium after missing the last three with a sprained right ankle, and New England also has Daniel Fells, Visanthe Shiancoe and Michael Hoomanawanui at the position.
"New England is so multiple, they give you sometimes it could be four wides, five wides, could be a bunch of tight ends and all that," Ryan said. "So, we'll see as the game goes how it affects them."
Belichick was typically tight-lipped when asked if the loss of Gronkowski will change the offense for the Patriots (7-3).
"Well, we'll see," he said. "I don't know. We'll see."

'Feel the difference' was introduced as a segment that shows the readers the elements or features that i found interesting while reading other blogs. I would like to recap some of them.

After the article was published, Favor Hamilton went on Twitter and explained what drove her to that double life.
She says she was depressed and going through a rough patch in her marriage and life. The second life as an escort was a coping mechanism, she said.

Historically recruitment levels following a recession have never returned to the same levelas before the recession.

The CWEL is integrated in the graduate student experience through programs that support development of mentor and network relationships, provide financial support to attend important women's leadership events, and deliver impactful learning opportunities that meet students' leadership development needs at this critical stage of their careers. The Center also is proud supporter of Forte Foundation scholars program. CWEL works closely with the Babson Association of Women MBAs (BAWMBA) to continuously refine programs to focus on the most relevant needs of our students. Onboarding Allies Program The pilot Onboarding Allies program connects incoming Fast Track women students with a recent Fast Track program alumna who can share insights about her own Fast Track experiences. The initiative was created based on feedback from recent Fast Track graduate who indicated that an early connection to another woman who had recently successfully navigated the program would be a welcome resource. The program consists of three email connections over 90 days. Beyond the 90-day formal program participants are encouraged to "stay in touch" as is desirable and feasible to both the ally and the new student.
