Email: email@example.com
Ph. D. – Florida State University
M. M. – Westminster Choir College
B. M. – St. Olaf College
I know the power of choral music to transform the lives of choristers and audiences alike because wonderful choral experiences have shaped my life both as a musician and as a human being. Choral singing literally opened the world to me. As a young boy I sang with the world-renowned American Boychoir in the Czech Republic, Poland and throughout North America. As a young man I toured North America and Europe with the St. Olaf Choir, singing at great cathedrals and concert halls, as well as churches of all kinds. In these travels I experienced how deeply music touches the emotions and passions of people everywhere. With these groups, and with the famous Westminster Choir, I had the privilege of collaborating with groups such as Chanticleer, the New York Philharmonic, the Minnesota Orchestra, the New Jersey Symphony, and the Boston Symphony and with artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Kathleen Battle, and Frederica von Stade. Singing for maestros such as Charles Dutoit, Robert Shaw, Kurt Masur, Andre Previn, and Lorin Maazel taught me the discipline and vulnerability needed for creating the highest level of artistic expression.
In these great choirs I developed a particular passion for Renaissance music that led me to perform in the early music ensembles Fuma Sacra and the Choral Scholars and to find my own early music ensemble, Voces Luminae. These musical experiences piqued my curiosity about how to perform this music "authentically", based on performance practices and historical context, and also to appeal to the sensibilities of modern listeners. I investigated these questions in my dissertation, which examines performance practice trends in music by the Renaissance composer Tomas Luis de Victoria, and in several published journal articles and presentations.
Without question, the most powerful influences in my musical life have been my teachers and mentors: James Litton at the American Boychoir, Anton Armstrong at St. Olaf College, Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College, and André Thomas at Florida State University. They showed me how music can shape who I am and who I can become. It is my goal as a conductor and music educator to share this transformative power of music with my students. Through music, I challenge my choristers and students to excel as independent musicians, critical thinkers, and successful communicators so that they can gain a greater understanding of themselves and connect with those around them.

Week of 9/21/12
Snapshot of life in Hampton Roads
(Editorial, The Virginian-Pilot, September 21, 2012)
People would like to see light rail extended to the Oceanfront and think sales taxes could pay for it.
Some people still haven't heard about plans to levy tolls at the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels.
And, overall, folks think life in Hampton Roads is pretty good.
Old Dominion University's third annual telephone survey of residents in Hampton Roads offered an outline of the "mood" of the region we call home.
The survey, conducted by ODU's Social Science Research Center, queried 762 randomly selected residents of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Suffolk. Topics included the economy, transportation, safety, military service and the environment.
In announcing the results, SSRC Director Jesse Richman found much to cheer.
Hampton Roads residents felt better about the place where they live than last year. Perceptions of well-being took a hit from 2010 to 2011, the researchers said, when the quality of life assessment revealed a 21 percent drop, from about 80 percent down to 59 percent. That dip was no surprise, given the depth of the recession.
This year, about 68 percent of those surveyed rated life here as "excellent" or "good," with even higher numbers finding their own neighborhoods nice to live in. (More)
Income rises locally, but more are in poverty
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 21, 2012)
Although more Hampton Roads residents slipped into poverty in 2011, median household income in the area inched upward slightly from 2010.
The U.S. Census Bureau released a mass of data Thursday that paint a picture of the country's shifting social and economic demographics.
In the metropolitan statistical area, 11.7 percent of residents were below the poverty level in 2011, an increase from the 10.6 percent below poverty in 2010, according to census figures.
The area has one of the lowest poverty rates in the country, but it is climbing. In 2010, Hampton Roads ranked 340th out of 366 metro areas. It ranked 325th last year.
The local poverty is on par with the rest of the state - 11.5 percent of Virginians were in poverty in 2011 - and is lower than the national rate of 15.9 percent.
"Part of the explanation for an increase in poverty is because of lack of job improvement," said Vinod Agarwal, professor of economics and director of the Economic Forecasting Project at Old Dominion University. (More)
Gov. McDonnell to speak Wednesday in Suffolk
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 20, 2012)
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is scheduled to speak Wednesday at a national symposium on modeling and simulation technology.
McDonnell is slated to be at Old Dominion University's Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center, a university news release said. His speech is part of a three-day event designed to highlight the importance of simulation and virtual reality technology.
Among the other scheduled speakers at the event is David Way from the NASA Langley Research Center, who will discuss the role modeling and simulation had in the landing of the Mars Science Lab spacecraft.
All three days of the event will be at VMASC's headquarters, at 1030 University Blvd. in Suffolk. For all agendas and registration specifics, visit www.trainingsystems.org/events. (More)
Old Dominion honored as military-friendly school
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 21, 2012)
Old Dominion and Norfolk State universities have been honored as military-friendly schools, along with other local schools by G.I. Jobs.

According to the G.I. Jobs website, other local schools honored include:
- College of William & Mary
- Norfolk State University
- Paul D Camp Community College
- Regent University
- Richard Bland College of the College of William and Mary
- The Art Institute of Virginia Beach

Independent study is needed for proposed arena in Beach
(Opinion, The Virginian-Pilot, September 21, 2012)
Here's something I've learned over the past dozen years: Column writing is the perfect job for someone with adult ADD.
Bored with one topic? Move on to another.
Which is where I was with the Virginia Beach Oceanfront arena deal. My eyes were starting to glaze over at the mere mention of it.
Until Tuesday, that is.
When we first learned about the super-secret negotiations for a sports arena last month, there seemed to be endless interest in the subject. The story had everything: rumors that the NBA's Sacramento Kings were moving to the Beach with the team's colorful owners in tow, curious decisions made behind closed doors, a subsequent apology from the city attorney. ...
You know, the report that counted everybody with a pulse from Pungo to Richmond as potential ticket buyers for NBA home games and used an inflated almost 200-events-a-year formula to make this look like another "win-win-can't-lose-won't-cost-taxpayers-a-dime" project?
Honestly. Did anyone think this could survive close scrutiny?
Remember, even ODU economist James Koch, the author of the study, distanced himself from the results, noting that his report was only as good as the numbers he'd been given. (More)
History, As Recorded on Twitter, Is Vanishing From The Web, Say Computer Scientists
(MIT Technology Review, September 20, 2012)
On 25 January 2011, a popular uprising began in Egypt that led to the overthrow of the country's brutal president and to the first truly free elections. One of the defining features of this uprising and of others in the Arab Spring was the way people used social media to organise protests and to spread news.
Several websites have since begun the task of curating this content, which is an important record of events and how they unfolded. That led Hany SalahEldeen and Michael Nelson at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, to take a deeper look at the material to see how much the shared were still live.
What they found has serious implications. SalahEldeen and Nelson say a significant proportion of the websites that this social media points to has disappeared. And the same pattern occurs for other culturally significant events, such as the H1N1 virus outbreak, Michael Jackson's death and the Syrian uprising.
In other words, our history, as recorded by social media, is slowly leaking away.
Their method is straightforward. SalahEldeen and Nelson looked for tweets on six culturally significant events that occurred between June 2009 and March 2012. They then filtered the URLs these tweets pointed to and checked to see whether the content was still available on the web, either in its original form or in an archived form.
They found that the older the social media, the more likely its content was to be missing. In fact, they found an almost linear relationship between time and the percentage lost.
The numbers are startling. They say that 11 per cent of the social media content had disappeared within a year and 27 per cent within 2 years. Beyond that, SalahEldeen and Nelson say the world loses 0.02 per cent of its culturally significant social media material every day. (More)
Life in Hampton Roads is on the upswing, poll finds
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 19, 2012)
Life in Hampton Roads is looking up again.
That's the take-away from Old Dominion University's third annual survey taking the pulse of residents on a wide range of social, economic, political and other indicators.
Two-thirds of the respondents rated the quality of life in the region as good or excellent. That's an improvement from last year, when the overall measure of well-being plunged to 59 percent from a high of 80 percent in 2010.
What accounts for the more positive attitude? In the words of an oft-quoted political strategist's mantra: It's the economy, stupid.
"I think people are feeling a bit more optimistic about the economy than they were last year," said Jesse Richman, director of ODU's Social Science Research Center, which conducted the survey.
When asked about the state of the area's economy, 62 percent of respondents rated it fair or poor. That may sound like a lot, but it's down significantly from 76 percent last year. People know the economy isn't out of the woods, but they sense it's moving in the right direction, Richman said.
The survey found relative contentment on other fronts, too. (More)
ODU survey shows big support for light rail to Va. Beach
(WVEC-TV, September 19, 2012)
A new survey suggests a majority of people in Virginia Beach support a light rail expansion.
The study, conducted by the ODU Research Center, shows that nearly 90 percent of people in Hampton Roads favor an expansion.
Only 13 percent of Virginia Beach resident say they do not support extending the Tide.
"It suggests people on the whole are positive about the possibility of an expanded light rail system," said Jesse Richman of the ODU Research Center.
Of those questioned in Virginia Beach, 75 percent of people say they prefer an expansion to the oceanfront first.
A question gauging interest in light rail will be on the ballot in November. (More)
Airport likes free train, but asks for more info
(Orlando Sentinel, September 18, 2012)
The board of Orlando International Airport declined Wednesday to vote even informally in favor of a privately financed high-tech train that could be worth $315 million.
Instead, the board asked Tony Morris, the owner of American Maglev, first to provide it with an in-depth ridership study and how the proposed train could affect the sales of rental-car companies that pay millions for space at the airport.
Airport chairman Frank Kruppenbacher did say, "I think we're interested."
Morris was noncommittal about fulfilling the board's request, with his Orlando attorney Charlie Gray saying, "it's kind of tough" to spend money on studies if the board might decide to scuttle the project.
Morris started American Maglev in Edgewater in Volusia County in 1994, but ended up moving his operation to Old Dominion University in Virginia seven years later to build a demonstration project. About $16 million in federal, state and private money was spent before the train was sold for scrap, although the track remains, an ODU spokesman said.
Morris then moved to a small town near Atlanta to build a test track and entered into an agreement with Grupo ACS, one of the largest construction companies in the world. Based in Madrid, ACS officials have said they would help finance the project if a deal can be reached with Orange County and the airport, or one of several other areas where Morris is promoting his venture.

College students: Make your kitchen your friend
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 19, 2012)
Nia Wilson and Jennifer Roubik are fast friends. But neither is buddy-buddy with their dorm suite kitchens.
It's not that the Old Dominion University students don't like them. As dorm kitchens go, theirs are pretty good-looking, with full-size fridges and ovens and lots of cabinet and counter space.
It's just that with statistics tests, with phone calls and knocks on the door that come with being resident advisers, with ROTC and four-hour organic chemistry labs, well, Nia, 19, and Jen, 21, don't really have time to cozy up to their kitchens. Mild flirtations in the form of a pot of noodles or a box of mac-and-cheese are about all the attention that their kitchens get. They're mostly spurned in favor of fast food.
And that is so wrong, says Nisa Burns, a Virginia Beach college student whose cookbook, "Kitchen-ability 101 - The College Student's Guide to Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Food," hits bookstores next month.
Burns' advice to those in college: treat your kitchen more like a friend or partner than an outcast.
And so, last week, Nia and Jen agreed to a first real date of sorts, a test drive of an advance copy of Burns' cookbook. (More)
Va. Beach mayor backs $50,000 study on arena impact
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 19, 2012)
Mayor Will Sessoms said Tuesday that he supports spending up to $50,000 on an independent study of the economic impact of the $350 million arena proposed for near the Oceanfront.
A study done in August by James V. Koch, an Old Dominion University economics professor, was based on data partly provided by Comcast-Spectacor, the company pitching the arena project.
Councilman John Moss argued at Tuesday's City Council work session that an independent analysis is necessary to check those numbers.
Sessoms said it's important to enlist "another set of eyes."
The Koch study estimated an arena, starting in 2015, would host nearly 200 events a year with 1.3 million attendees. It would also create 1,230 jobs and generate $98 million in revenue in 2015, including $66 million in Virginia Beach.
It was part of the nearly $700,000 spent so far on arena project consultants.
Sources have said the NBA's Sacramento Kings are the main target tenant for the arena, which also would be used for concerts and minor league sports.
The study would be done when the city has more information about how the arena would be paid for, Sessoms said. That information is not expected before December, and might come early next year. (More)
ODU study: 89% want light rail extended
(WAVY-TV, September 18, 2012)
In a study released by Old Dominion University, 89 percent of responders say they are supportive of extending light rail.
"Life in Hampton Roads" is an annual study conducted by Old Dominion University's Social Science Research Center, which also reported residents are starting to feel more optimistic about living conditions in Hampton Roads.
The survey was conducted between June 2 and Aug. 10 with 762 participants from the seven major area cities.
Other highlights of the survey include:
A third of the responders did not know there were plans to put tolls on the tunnels
The top three light rail expansion destinations were the Oceanfront, Town Center and Norfolk Naval Base
To fund light rail, 22.6 percent said increase taxes, 19.2 percent said borrow money and 10.1 percent increase the fuel tax
Twenty percent said they have ridden the Tide
A majority of responders (58.9 percent for local and 65.4 percent for state) said they felt local and state government waste a fair amount of resources rather than use them wisely
Six percent of responders said they or a member of their household had been a victim of crime
A majority of responders (56.4 percent) rated the overall quality of life in Hampton Roads as "good"
The average commute to work or school was 23.9 minutes
A high majority of responders (87.4 percent) said they were registered to vote (More)
Hampton Roads survey finds a positive attitude
(Virginia Business, September 18, 2012)
An annual survey of Hampton Roads residents shows they are feeling better about the region than last year.
The Life in Hampton Roads survey conducted by Old Dominion University's Social Science Research Center showed confidence in the region's living conditions have rebounded from a 21.3 percentage-point drop last year.
For the third straight year, the center conducted a telephone survey to gauge opinion on a variety of local issues, ranging from transportation (including light rail) to the environment to crime.
Positive perceptions about the region's quality of life dropped from 80.5 percent in the 2010 survey to 59.2 percent last year.
In this year's poll, however, that figure bounced back, with 68.4 percent of the residents surveyed rating the quality of life in the region as either "excellent" or "good." In addition, 85.3 percent also rated the quality of life in their neighborhoods as excellent or good.
The survey's results were based on 762 interviews with randomly selected residents of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Suffolk between June 2 and Aug. 10.
Respondents were asked to provide a reason as to why they rated the quality of life in Hampton Roads as they did. Those who responded "good" or "excellent" often cited the variety of things to do in the area, such as cultural and recreational events. (More)

At the center of the fall campaigns, from the presidential race on down, is whether to extend all or some of President George W. Bush's temporary tax cuts which are set to expire at the end of the year.
President Barack Obama wants the Bush-tax cuts to expire for people making over $250,000 a year as a way to help rein in a nearly $1.2 trillion federal budget deficit and more than $16 trillion national debt. The president has said the "wealthiest Americans" need to pay their "fair share" in helping to deal with the deficit crisis, which includes steering the country away from driving over the fiscal cliff of the looming sequestration cuts.
Approximately 19,500 households of the 620,000 households in Hampton Roads, roughly 3 percent, make more than $200,000 dollars a year, according to 2010 U.S. Census estimates.
A July study by accounting firm Ernst & Young points out, however, that increasing tax rates for higher income earners would affect more than just individual households, as many small-business owners file their taxes using the individual taxpayer rate. The Congressional Joint Taxation Committee estimates that 53 percent of net positive business income is taxed this way. ...
Jesse Richman, professor of political science at Old Dominion University, said the deficit can be overcome by the cuts-only approach favored by most Republican lawmakers and candidates, most of whom have signed political activist Grover Norquist's "no-new-tax pledge."
Richman said to make up the gap, the cuts must be large and deep and must affect many key, popular government programs. But, he said, it's not clear that either large cuts or significant tax increases are "politically palatable." (More)
State extends deadlines for port deal
(Richmond Times-Dispatch, September 15, 2012)
The state is again stretching out the schedule for consideration of privatizing the Port of Virginia's operations.
Deadlines for detailed proposals and updating the Virginia Port Authority's board on them have been pushed back about a month, and the rough time for closing the deal has gone from late this year or early 2013 to sometime in 2013.
With billions of dollars potentially on the line, detailed proposals are now due Nov. 1, instead of Oct. 5, and the update for the board has gone from Oct. 15 to Nov. 27.
Announcing a preferred proposer had been scheduled for Oct. 15 and is now, along with the port authority board's action and signing a comprehensive agreement, to be determined later, the state Office of Transportation Public-Private Partnerships said Friday. ...
Economist James V. Koch, former president of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, who has consulted with state transportation officials on the possible privatization, supported the delay.
"It's helpful," Koch said. "It will give us an opportunity to make a more considered decision."
In July, the state extended the schedule for accepting alternative port operation proposals by a month. (More)
Tangled route to port deal
(Opinion, The Virginian-Pilot, September 16, 2012)
Right about now, if state officials had gotten their way, Gov. Bob McDonnell would be preparing to announce that the commonwealth had purchased APM's state-of-the-art terminal in Portsmouth.
Instead, he and his administration are mired in a process drawing heavy public scrutiny and leading toward an entirely different outcome.
What a difference one year makes.
Last fall, when APM officials signaled an interest in selling the high-tech facility, the governor and his transportation secretary, Sean Connaughton, began discussing a way to buy it. The Virginia Port Authority's private, nonprofit partner, Virginia International Terminals Inc., already operated the APM terminal under a 20-year lease signed in 2010.
Old Dominion University economist James Koch has said APM's deal would be better, naturally, for the company than for Virginians.
And while most of the conversation has so far stuck to financial matters, the state eventually will need to consider its own role at the port. (More)
A prudent delay on port proposals
(Editorial, The Virginian-Pilot, September 15, 2012)
Gov. Bob McDonnell and Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton seem to have heard a portion of the message from folks worried about the rush to make a decision on privatizing Virginia's port operations. This week, Connaughton confirmed that deadlines for the deal, including a pending Oct. 15 announcement of a preferred operator, would be bumped by at least a month.
"October 15th was a target date," the secretary said. "We will definitely be adjusting and setting back the time schedule to ensure that we make the best decision for the commonwealth."
A month's delay is a start, but time is unlikely, by itself, to be enough to guarantee a good deal. ...
State approval of APM's proposal would essentially eliminate VIT, trade one monopoly for another and saddle Virginia with a 48-year contract that, in the words of Old Dominion University economist James Koch, leaves "quite a bit of money on the table."
He didn't have enough data to analyze the Carlyle Group's 48-year offer, or RREEF's 50-year bid, or evaluate the possibilities of combining multiple operators at the various terminals, when he spoke last month to a legislative advisory panel. (More)
Software lights trail to suspect in Ghent burglaries
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 17, 2012)
Amir Louka and Stephanie Krebs returned to their West Ghent apartment this summer to a jolt: an open window, a swinging back door and empty space where their television, laptops and iPod used to be.
Nearly $5,000 worth of property was missing.
Gone were replaceable items - files backed up on hard drives, study aids - as well as items with more intangible value - graduate school essays and photos.
But they had a hunch that something on one of their three stolen laptops might help them find that computer - and maybe even a culprit. ...
A laptop is hard to trace, said Tamer Nadeem, computer science professor at Old Dominion University. Unlike a smart phone, laptops do not come equipped with GPS devices, he said.
The laptop tracking system requires more resources, such as network connections and unique user IDs, and does not always lead to a precise location, he said. It can also be thwarted by erasing the computer's hard disk, Nadeem said. (More)

Pigskin Detention: Supporting Terrell Suggs' Conspiracy Theory
By Patrick Imig
Cold Hard Football Facts Conspiracy Theorist (@patrickimig)
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs says the NFL and Roger Goodell had a hand in the lights going out at Super Bowl XLVII. Ray Lewis says the same thing.
I say we look at the recent track record of primetime NFL games, dating back to the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XLVII - The lights mysteriously go out at the Super Dome with the Ravens firmly in control of the 49ers, leading 28-6. Thirty-four minutes later, the power outage is fixed and the 49ers make it a game, losing 31-24.
Week 1 - The season kicks off in Denver on NBC with a lightning delay. The NFL promised it would be 15 minutes, instead it was 32.
Week 2 - The Seahawks and 49ers are delayed at the 3:13 mark of the first quarter. The game was also on NBC
Week 4 - The NFL replay system "stops working" with the Patriots leading the Falcons 30-13 in the second half of NBC SNF. The Patriots challenged a completion to Julio Jones. The Pats would have won the challenge and halted the Falcons.
Instead, Walt Coleman informed the world that the replay system was not working. The play stood as called and the Falcons reeled off 10 unanswered points before losing by a touchdown as the game expired and Roddy White and Matt Ryan failed to connect in the end zone.
As pointed out by the Colonel early this week, how does the replay system stop working when viewers at home can see the replays? And why doesn't the NFL use tablets or Ipads like the rest of the world? Why does the official have to secretly look "under the hood"?
Is the NFL in the business of manipulating their national telecasts to stretch out advertising dollars, get people talking and keeping their primetime contests hotly contested and competitive?
You decide. But the fact is that the recent track record shows games that have been delayed and stretched beyond normal circumstances.

Bob Uecker wasn't a very good baseball player. The Milwaukee native hit .200/.293/.287 over parts of six seasons, and even in the lower-offense 1960s, that was pretty bad.
Uecker has made an entire career as an entertainer and broadcaster out of those six seasons; he was a frequent guest on the Tonight Show when it was in its Johnny Carson heyday (it was Carson who dubbed Uecker "Mr. Baseball"), he was a sitcom actor in the show "Mr. Belvedere", and since 1971 he has been the popular voice of his hometown Brewers on WTMJ radio in Milwaukee.
Now, the team is going to honor Uecker:
#Brewers announce Bob Uecker statue to be dedicated outside Miller Park on August 31.— John H. Steinmiller (@jstein1981) March 21, 2012
Several other teams have honored longtime broadcasters with statues, including the Cubs (Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse, though Brickhouse's statue is near the studios of WGN radio rather than at Wrigley Field), the Cardinals (Jack Buck), the Mariners (Dave Niehaus) and the Tigers (Ernie Harwell). The Reds honored Joe Nuxhall as one of their Crosley Field-era players with a statue in 2003, and Nuxhall also broadcast for the team for more than 30 years. The same was done for the late Richie Ashburn by the Phillies; Ashburn, a Hall of Fame player, also broadcast Phillies games for over three decades.
Uecker's statue, to be dedicated before a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, will join three other statues outside Miller Park:
The Uecker statue will join Robin Yount, Hank Aaron and Commissioner Selig statues outside Miller Park.#Brewers— John H. Steinmiller (@jstein1981) March 21, 2012
Three of those four statues, at least, should be pretty popular in Milwaukee.

They purchased the property and made promises to our community. Now, Hertz is ready to break ground.
Get ready for the dirt to start moving. Hertz is planning to break ground on November 26th.
As for what it will look like - those renderings are expected in a little over a week.
Since the announcement, Southwest Florida has been buzzing.
"Additional businesses in the area are always good, especially ones like Hertz. Everybody knows them. They're well known," said Kevin Smale.
The actual impact is still unknown.
People like Smale have questions about Hertz.
"Are they transferring down form New Jersey or are they going to hire locally?" asked Smale.
Hertz corporate affairs and communications executive vice president Rich Broome says, "Our best guess is still 300 to 400 folks from New Jersey will move down here. And at the end of the day, we'll end up hiring between 300 to 400 local people to fill the jobs the New Jersey people aren't coming down for."
However, those jobs won't come until the $68 million build-out in complete in mid-2015.
The rental car giant is already hiring for their Naples location.
"The positions that are open and posted right now are for people we want to start working immediately. So they would be working from the Naples office and stay with us. We're not hiring for positions 18 months out. That's unrealistic, but we need those people now and we need them in Florida," said Broome.
So what is it going to look like?
"We're trying to balance a lot of considerations. Local style preferences against our brand and our need to be environmentally sustainable, as well as providing the best workplace possible for our people," said Broome.
Plans will be unveiled Monday, November 18th
"There's a lot of different architecture and they're not all completely consistent soon don't think that's a big deal," Smale
That meeting is open to the public at 5:00 p.m. at the Estero recreation center.
We have also learned Hertz is interested in leasing some property in Cape Coral for another project.

Persuading a professional sports team to grant prolonged all-access to a film crew is an increasingly tough sell. The lack of willing subjects is one reason why the only-semi-interesting Cincinnati Bengals were profiled for the second time in five years on HBO's compelling training-camp reality series "Hard Knocks." Five teams, including the 49ers, Seahawks, and Falcons, declined before the Bengals signed on.
That show even took a one-year hiatus in 2011 when no team would commit amid the lockout turmoil, and the Dolphins agreed to be documented in 2012 only after a late scramble by HBO. As fascinating as it would be to watch the Patriots on "Hard Knocks,'' we'd all agree that there's a better chance of the Snow Bowl being replayed in Hades than of Bill Belichick ever permitting such an intrusion.

CATEGORIES MoviesYo Joe!
Fans of "G.I. Joe" are eagerly awaiting the release of this weekend's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" which looks be a more faithful adaptation than the previous film installment, and relishes in the infinite ninja battles that have been entertaining audiences through decades of toys, comics, and cartoons. If you need more proof that "Retaliation" gets it right, look to the actors involved; casting larger-than-life action heroes like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Bruce Willis reminds us of those Saturday morning adventures where the Joes recruited Sgt. Slaughter and William "The Refrigerator" Perry (and even came close to nabbing Rocky too!) It's a shame that the Joes didn't team-up with even more icons of the '80s... until now.
Moviefone has teamed up with our favorite artist Dennis Culver to imagine an all-star roster of the '80s biggest figures -- from the Goonies to "Rebel Yell" rockers, with a pit stop at Melmac on the way -- suited up for the war against Cobra. If you thought you knew everything about Rainbow Brite and the Care Bears, these declassified file cards will prove that you didn't know anything (and knowing is half the battle). Check out the gallery below to learn all about the forgotten Joes of the 1980s!

(The Oregon Department of Agriculture) A factor of supply and demand has driven cattle prices to historic highs this summer. That's both good news and bad news for Oregon ranchers. They can expect to make a bigger profit when they take their animals to market, but they also potentially face cattle theft from modern-day rustlers who now have a bigger economic incentive to commit a crime.
"Ranchers need to be more vigilant than ever this summer by taking steps to deter theft," says Rodger Huffman, manager of the Oregon Department of Agriculture's Animal Identification Program. "Cattle prices continue to grow which makes the concern grow because of the opportunities for someone to make a pretty large sum of money quickly by committing a crime."
Bees go to summer school
Two large colonies relocated from McMinnville middle school
(Marcus Larson/News-Register) Beekeeper Khalen Dunn removes a colony of bees from the wall of the Patton Middle School gym in McMinnville. Bees had been entering the gym this spring, said Vicki Williams, director of facilities for the school district. In an attempt to find the source, workers removed the covering from the top of the exterior wall and discovered two huge colonies. The district called in Dunn to relocate the hives.
Now that's a show
Event literally offers something for everyone
(Starla Pointer/News-Register) If you're a good showman, you can show anything.
No one knows that more than Owen TenBrook, a 13-year-old middle schooler from Newberg. He wowed the judge and the audience at the cat and small pet show Wednesday afternoon and took home the top prize in his category, which I'm guess you'd have to call "other."
Owen showed a rock.
More precisely, Owen showed a pet rock named "Rocky 'The Destroctor' Jefferson." He tied a bandana around Rocky's head, a la Keith Richards, and plopped him down behind a drum kit built from cardboard tools.
Canning makes the heart 'ping'
Time is ripe for preserving local fruits, vegetables
(Starla Pointer/News-Register) What's the most welcome sound of summer?
For many of us, it's the "ping!" that marks the sealing of a canning jar just lifted from its hot water bath. The ping rewards you for doing everything right and means your jam, tomatoes, applesauce or other product will keep safely through the winter.
Yamhill County has such wonderful produce. It's delicious fresh, of course -- can anything beat a salad of tender young greens topped with homegrown tomatoes, or freshly picked corn on the cob, or blueberries, peaches or other fruits you've picked yourself?
Enjoy it now. But also take some time saving some of the bounty for later by canning, pickling, freezing or drying that beautiful harvest.
Local organizations offer places to escape heat
High temperatures expected through the week
(News-Register staff) As the hot weather continues, there are several places in McMinnville where people can enjoy a cool environment. Hours vary, with some extending their opening times on particularly hot days.
In McMinnville, the Yamhill Community Action Partnership has a resource room and conference training room offering air conditioning, restrooms and water; the McMinnville Public Library offers a place to escape from the heat; Champion Team has their drop-in center for those who identify as having had challenges with addictions, mental illnesses or other disabilities; McMinnville Cooperative Ministries has two spaces available – one not air conditioned and the other, a hallway with restrooms and a drinking fountain that is maintained about 78 degrees.
In Newberg, the Youth Outreach offers a cooling center for those ages 11-21; in addition, there is Newberg Public Library, Zion Lutheran Church; and the Chehalem Senior Center which offer cooling space.
McMinnville, McMinnville
Several similarities between the W.T. Newby's hometown and the town he founded
(Starla Pointer/News-Register) My story about the visit Chuck and Lorraine Biederman's history group paid to McMinnville, Tennessee, brought back memories for longtime McMinnville resident Ray Fields.
Fields has been a member of the McMinnville Rotary Club for many, many years, since the days he owned the local radio station. And in 1971, he was among Rotarians greeting a group of visitors from the McMinnville, Tennessee, Rotary Club.
"They sent people here in May for our 50th anniversary," he recalled.

Gamer solutions
Video games could provide venue for exploring sustainability concepts
(Michelle Klampe/Oregon State University) Could playing video games help people understand and address global sustainability issues such as pollution, drought or climate change? At least two researchers believe so, outlining their argument in a concept paper published in the journal "First Monday."
Video games have the potential to educate the public and encourage development of creative solutions to social, economic and environmental problems, said Oregon State University's Shawna Kelly, one of the two authors of the article.
McMinnville is contestant for 'Best Main Street'
Online voting will determine winner to be featured in Parade magazine

To vote, visit the website at www.parade.com/mainstreet.

Musical direction for the reading will be provided by Andy Einhorn (Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella); Bespoke Theatricals will serve as General Management.
About his newest project, director Arima told Playbill.com, "I had heard of Home over the years. I knew of it, but never had come in contact with the script. This past February, I was contacted by the authors and invited to read the new draft. I was immediately hooked. The musical has undergone some exciting changes since its previous exploration in the fall of 2011, and this upcoming developmental reading will give the authors and I a chance to explore the material even further.
"It will also give them an opportunity to hear their show read and sung by a cast of actresses who have never been involved with Home, including the incomparable actress, Ms. Diane Ladd. Having the opportunity of working with Ms. Ladd (who will play the role of the mother) is a gift and an honor. We are very close to rounding out the casting of the daughter, which will be played by three different actresses. What does remain intact within Home is its uninhibited journey about learning to love the outrageous humanity that lives within us all, and that it is possible to survive the wounds of one's past."
Casting for the roles of Katherine, Kat and Katie will be announced at a later date.
Diane Ladd is an American actress, film director, producer and author. Hailed by Time Magazine as "one of the top ten actresses, not only in this country, but in the world," Ladd has appeared in over 300 roles, on television, and in miniseries and feature films, including "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," "Wild at Heart," "Rambling Rose," "Touched by an Angel" and "28 Days." She is the recipient of 38 awards, including a Golden Globe and a British Academy Award, and has been nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In theatre Ladd made her New York debut at the age of 17 in her cousin, Tennessee Williams' play Orpheus Descending, for which she received rave reviews. She appeared again Off-Broadway opposite Robert De Niro in Shelley Winters' play Noisy Passengers. Ladd made her Broadway debut in the play Carry Me Back to Morningside Heights, directed by Sidney Poitier, and also appeared on Broadway in Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlande (part of Preston Jones' A Texas Trilogy), for which she received a Drama Desk Award nomination. Ladd was most recently seen playing opposite real-life daughter, Laura Dern, on HBO's "Enlightened."
As an author, Ladd released the acclaimed "Spiraling Through the School of Life: A Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Discovery." Her recently released collection of short stories, also critically hailed, is titled "A Bad Afternoon for a Piece of Cake."
In 2010 Ladd received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next to daughter Laura and ex-husband Bruce Dern.

"Carlos Santana and the undefeated Dominican Republic claim[ed] the WBC title over [Mike Aviles] and Puerto Rico." I can't say it better than Bastian did there, but I can add that Carlos was 6-for-22 (9BB) with two home runs and a double. His OPS was second on the team with 1.075.
Robinson C*cough*cough*ano was named MVP with a 1.296.
- The Cardinals released SS Ronny Cedeno. Cedeno was signed this offseason to fill in for Rafael Furcal, but the Cards are now going in a different direction. #HopefullyNotAsdrubal #GiveUsShelbyForCord
- The Cubs shut down Scott Baker already. Baker was popularly seen as an LGT offseason target before signing with Chicago.

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 8, 2012 – Garbage – Shirley Manson (vocals), Steve Marker (guitars, keyboards), Duke Erikson (guitars, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums, loops) – announced that "Blood For Poppies" would be the first single from their upcoming studio album, Not Your Kind Of People, due out on May 15, 2012 on the band's STUNVOLUME record label.
"The song is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream," said Shirley Manson. "The inspiration came from a story I had read in The Los Angeles Times about the opium trade and also from watching the documentary 'Restrepo.' It's not literal in any sense whatsoever but it's a song about disorientation and delusion and the human struggle to stay sane in the face of insanity."
The video for "Blood For Poppies" was recently shot in Los Angeles by renowned fashion photographer and filmmaker Matt Irwin. Additionally, the band filmed a video that they posted to their social media revealing the tracklisting for Not Your Kind Of People:
Not Your Kind Of People will be released in both a standard and a deluxe configuration. Fans can preorder either version on Amazon now: Standard and Deluxe

It's coming up to the 14th of February. Being that we have a new song called "I Hate Love" and having been blown away with the artistic efforts made by you all for the Garbage Cover Contest we decided we would like to see your love-hating artistic creations - paintings, drawings, photos inspired by this event. However, unlike the Garbage Cover Contest which was not run by Garbage, this is an official request by us.
Please submit your lovely works of art to firstname.lastname@example.com by 10pm PST Friday, February 10th and we'll incorporate them into something special that we'll reveal on the dreaded day itself….. Valentine's Day.
*Please keep file size to 2MB and under.
UPDATE: Submission deadline has passed, stay tuned tomorrow for the finished project!
We've added a second live show in Los Angeles at the El Rey for the evening of April 9.
Tickets will go on sale Saturday, February 11 at 10am PST on Ticketmaster. There will be a 2 ticket limit per person and the entire show will be forced will call–meaning you will need to present your credit card and ID to pick up your tickets the night of the show, then you and your guest will immediately enter the venue.
We have put these ticket buying measures into place so as to protect as many real garbage fans as possible. We want our fans be able to get tickets for as reasonable a price as possible. NOT the scalpers. Unfortunately we don't have a solution to the scalper problem but these measures should help protect our fans.
But remember……….these measures don't guarantee you a ticket! We have not played in 7 years and as a result our shows are selling very fast.
Good luck. Thanks for everything.
UPDATE: Here is the ticket link for Saturday morning: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/2C00483FF159518E

We are adding more live dates over the coming weeks and months, so keep a eye here for more opportunities to see us this summer.

Los Angeles, CA - January 30, 2012 - Garbage has announced that their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind Of People, will be released in the United States on May 15, 2012, on the band's label STUNVOLUME. As V Magazine recently put it: "The poster girl for '90s alternative rock is ready to reclaim her reign - and the radio - with a new record from her iconic band, Garbage."
"Working with Garbage again was very instinctual," said Duke Erikson. "Like getting on a bicycle…with three other people." He adds "We haven't felt this good about a Garbage record since the last one!"
Garbage - Shirley Manson (vocals), Steve Marker (guitars, keyboards), Duke Erikson (guitars, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums, loops) - will hit the road this spring in support of the album by performing several headlining shows as well as various festivals throughout Europe and the U.S. with more dates to be confirmed.
"Thinking about going back on the road is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure," said Shirley Manson. "………but we've always enjoyed a little pain mixed in with our pleasure."
See below for full list of dates confirmed so far.

The album spawned the hit singles "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" and was certified double platinum in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The band won the Breakthrough Artist Award at the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards, and was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy® Award. Their second album, Version 2.0, was released in 1998 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom. It was nominated for two Grammy Awards including Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. 2001's Beautiful Garbage was named one of Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 Albums Of The Year. In 2005, Garbage released Bleed Like Me, earning the band it's highest chart position with a No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. In 2007, the band released a retrospective collection called Absolute Garbage. Garbage has sold over 12 million albums worldwide. They have performed in over thirty-five countries and will tour extensively worldwide in support of this new release.
Due to overwhelming response, we are having technical issues and have to take down the scramble contest.
Thanks so much to everyone that entered!

I am running eclipse indigo 3.7.2 on my ubuntu machine and intend to develop for nokia full touch series.
I have tried creating a new MIDlet project by downloading the nokia SDK 2.0 for java using the Device SDK Manager.
