The Star Wars franchise is changing. Yesterday, Leland Chee, the curator of the Star Wars canon, started tweeting that the existing canon hierarchy would be leveled off, giving the Expanded Universe of novels, video games, comic books, and characters the same standing as the original movies going forward. This single move is a boon for longtime Star Wars fans, but it may also mean many stories simply won't ever get adapted.
Since Disney's acquisition of Star Wars, the Expanded Universe has been left relatively unaffected — save for Disney ensuring that Marvel would tell all Star Wars comic stories by 2015. This new streamlined hierarchy, however, means that the upcoming Star Wars sequels may now draw concepts and content from classic EU stories and video games. In the past, Lucasfilm has relied on the Holocron, a ranked catalogue of the Star Wars stories and facts to manage contradictions. Now, everything is on equal footing going forward.
Official Mara Jade toys? Maybe
The idea of going forward is key here. The potential for rich, fan-pleasing storytelling is incredible here (to say nothing about how much money Disney could make creating Mara Jade toys). But that's far from a guarantee. Empire Strikes Back writer Lawrence Kasdan had previously commented that he was "trying to start fresh" with his work on the upcoming Star Wars sequels and spin-offs. This news effectively creates a whole new canon. So if by Episode VIII fans meet Grand Admiral Thrawn, all the better. But no one should hold their breath.

Equilibrium on international assets and goods
AbstractMost of the international asset pricing models are developed in the situation where purchasing power parity (PPP) is not respected. Investors of different countries do not agree on expected security returns. However, in this case, an equilibrium on the international assets market may exist but not on the international goods market. Our purpose in this paper is to give conditions under which we have equilibrium, not only on the international assets markets but also on the international good market. More precisely, we focus on the link between no-arbitrage, equilibrium and PPP. At equilibrium, assets markets must clear and international goods market balance. In particular, equilibrium goods prices respect the PPP.

Sonar's location-based friend-finding app for Android exits beta
Tuesday 11th of September 2012
Sonar, a location-based social networking app for Android and iOS, has exited beta and is now available in Google Play for free.Although Sonar plugs into Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Foursquare to keep tabs on your existing friends, it can also be used as a discovery tool to meet new people. Users can broadcast their presence to other local Sonar users, or go black if they want to stay off the radar for awhile. All of the usual social elements are there, such as profiles, direct messages, updating statuses, and plenty more.Ideally, I stick with Latitude to keep up on where my friends are, but they're often scattered across multiple networks with their check-ins, plus meeting new people with similar tastes in hang-outs is always a good thing. To what extent do you guys use location-based social networking? Is Foursquare as far as you go? Do you ever actually meet anyone thanks to these networks? Is this sort of thing creepy, or the natural evolution of online socializing?

The Baltimore Orioles have scored just one total run over their last three defeats and look to get the bats moving when they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday in the third contest of the four-game series. One of the players hampering the Baltimore offense is outfielder Nelson Cruz, who has gone 10 games without hitting a homer or driving in a run. The Orioles were blanked for the sixth time this season on Friday as Toronto's Drew Hutchison tossed seven strong innings.Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado had been in a funk, but snapped out of it with a three-hit game on Friday. Machado will be available for the final two games of the series as his appeal of a five-game suspension for his actions against Oakland last Sunday has yet to be heard.

Monthly Measurement of Daily Timers
AbstractThis paper addresses the bias associated with parametric measurement of timing skill based on monthly timer returns when timers can make daily timing decisions. Simulations suggest that the classic Henriksson-Merton parametric measure of timing skill is weak and biased downward when applied to the monthly returns of a daily timer.

Burien theatre to use old Staples building; Lawmakers discuss placement of pot facilities
By Eric Mathison
Before Burien lawmakers moved on to the thorny issue of zoning for marijuana-related businesses on Jan. 27, they received the good news that Burien Actor's Theater (BAT) has found a new home for its next production.
Interim City Manager Craig Knutson announced the group will use the old Staples building near Southwest 150th Street and 6th Avenue Southwest for its upcoming comedy, "Noises Off," set to begin Feb. 21 and run through March 23.
BAT Managing Director Maggie Larrick said on Tuesday, Jan. 28 that there may still be some issues to be worked out concerning fire regulations.
Finding a suitable venue for "Noises Off" was challenging because the production requires a two-story set that rotates, according to Larrick.
City Manager Knutson also announced that the portion of the Burien Annex damaged in an arson fire will be repaired in time to house BAT's production following"Noises Off." The area damaged is used by BAT and the Hi-Liners.
Knutson noted the repair costs will be covered by the city's insurance.
In 2008, the city completed a master plan that called for replacing the community center annex with a 66,000 square-foot multi-purpose recreation facility. At that time, lawmakers decided to put the plan on the back burner because of the economic downturn. Construction of the new center would likely have required voter approval of new taxes through a bond measure.
With the economy improving and questions over repairing the fire-damaged building, council members were set to revisit the master plan at their Jan. 27 study session. However, Knutson asked to have the issue removed from the agenda.
The council members, instead, tackled the controversial issue of where to allow the growing and selling of legalized marijuana in Burien.
In November 2012, Washington voters OK'd Initiative 502 legalizing recreational marijuana under strict regulations. Community development director Chip Davis told council members that 61 percent of Burien voters approved of I-502.
The previous council OK'd Aug. 19 a 6-month interim zoning ordinance.
Davis offered the same regulations for a permanent ordinance.
Under the proposed regulations, state licensed producers (growers) and processors would only be allowed in industrial or airport industrial (Northeast Redevelopment Area) zones.
Retailers would be limited to commercial zones.
However, all pot-related businesses would not be allowed within 1,000 feet of elementary or secondary schools, recreation centers, playgrounds, child care facilities, parks, public transit centers, libraries or game arcades that admit youth under 21.
On a map accompanying Davis' presentation that left only a narrow strip between approximately South 140th Street and South 152nd Street near Des Moines Memorial Drive for growing operations. Production would have to be take place inside a structure.
The largest allowable area for retail stores would be along First Avenue South from approximately 140th Street and 148th Street, an area Councilman Gerald Robison identified as "auto dealerships and Fred Meyer."
Smaller areas around South 112th Street and 8th Avenue South, Southwest 116th Street and Ambaum Boulevard Southwest and Southwest 160th Street and State Route 509 were also indicated.
Robison urged council members to move ahead with the regulations. He said the issue reminded him of the controversy over zoning regulations for adult businesses in Burien about 14 years ago. He said there was a lot of "fuss" but not much came of it.
Bur newly elected council members Steve Armstrong and Debi Wagner said they had concerns about security and lowering property values.
Knutson countered, "Police are concerned but not overly concerned." He added that local police have experience dealing with the nine medical marijuana businesses in White Center.
Armstrong said the pot facilities could discourage other businesses from locating nearby.
Several residents along South 140th Street between 8th Avenue South and Des Moines Memorial Drive spoke against allowing growing operations in their neighborhood.
Knutson told lawmakers he would bring back a couple of different options at the council's Feb. 3 meeting where the council is expected to vote on the final requirements.

How a Private Cloud Saves Money and the Environment
CIO - Five years ago, after numerous acquisitions, the IT environment at Ricoh Europe was spiraling out of control--running 26 ERP instances was just one issue. "We reached a point in the journey where we had to tackle three things: Make ourselves more efficient internally, make ourselves more effective for our customers and [make our IT function less hazardous to the environment]," says Ian Winham, CIO and CFO for Ricoh Europe. "We work with customers on improving their infrastructure, and it came to a point where we had to start doing that for ourselves."
[Related: How to Build One Cool Data Center Campus]
Facing an increasing number of pan-European and global requirements from its printing, document management and IT services customers, standardization was a necessity.
"There was lots of chaos and lots of difficulty figuring out how to manage a client effectively," Winham says. The IT group started with application rationalization, throwing out everything and starting from scratch with the aim to standardize not only on systems, but processes--a total of 122 ultimately. Then, in 2011, they began looking at its mess of an IT infrastructure in the same way.
[Related: How to Shrink The Data Center: 4 Lessons Learned
Working with Indian IT service provider Infosys, Ricoh developed a private cloud with two T3 super hubs to provision both software- and Infrastructure-as-a-Service. "It would be great to say we knew the cloud was going to be the end-game at the start," says Winham. "But we only knew that our legacy was costing a small fortune--both financially and in terms of the environment--and what our end vision would look like."
Public Cloud Doesn't Cut It
The public cloud was a no-go for mission-critical applications. "We need to give our customers confidence that we know where their data is and when it is transferred," explains Winham.
A private cloud is being deployed across 35 Ricoh Europe operating companies; more than 50 percent of Ricoh's customers are currently running on it as well as all of it core internal applications. "We're now in the second stage, mopping up the legacy bits and pieces we've still got floating around," says Winham. "We still have small data centers and IT closets floating around that I want to get rid of."
The internal benefits have been clear. The company is consolidating nine data centers into two, which will cut IT infrastructure costs by 30 percent through the elimination of 1,000 servers. It will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 16,800 tons (the equivalent of taking 3,350 cars off the road), helping the company achieve its 2050 goal to reduce total energy consumption by 87.5 percent.
But Winham now sees the cloud as a revenue-generator for Ricoh's services arm. One of the first cloud-based apps it developed internally--an electronic invoicing system in line with the European Commission's newest push to regulate invoicing across the European Union. "That moved up the agenda in the infrastructure project as something that has real value for ourselves and our customers," Winham says.
It's a new approach that Winham is bringing to Ricoh. "If we're going to build something for ourselves, there has to be a value chain for us both internally and externally," Winham says. Besides "It's embarrassing when you're selling a solution that you're not using yourselves. You look stupid."
Navigating the European regulatory environment has been the most difficult part of moving to the cloud, says Winham. "The data protection directive is interpreted differently in every country so you have to figure out what standard you should apply while also staying up to speed with your customers," Winham says.
Legislation regarding the location of financial data is even trickier. Ricoh had to get approval from the government of Luxemburg before it could decommission its data center there. "I never want to build a data center in Luxemburg again," Winham says. "Those nuances are the real pain. And it has nothing to do with the actual technology."
Of course, having figured out how to navigate the difficult terrain, Winham sees a new service line there as well--helping customers set up private clouds in Europe. "You've got to eat what you sell, and we've developed a lot of experience. One of the things we're looking to do is work out where the synergies are between Ricoh, Infosys and other partners to bring those skills to bear," says Winham. "Anyone can deliver the infrastructure or make it secure, but the process of how you do that within your business is key."

The fire happened in the 18000 block of Buckridge Court.
The homeowner tells FOX28 he came home to find smoke in the house. He turned off the gas, got out and called the fire department.
The homeowner says no one was hurt. The home suffered major damage. There's no word yet on an official cause of the fire.
Crews from several surrounding fire departments were on scene to assist Elkhart Township. Many were helping shuttle water to the site from a nearby fire hydrant.

Depending on laws in your state and the level of training a first aid provider has, it may be permissible for a first aid provider to administer an EpiPen to a victim of anaphylaxis. The EpiPen must already be prescribed to the patient in order for it to be used.
1. Remove the EpiPen
2. Remove the Gray Safety Cap
3. Inject the Epinephrine
4. Call 911 and Discard the EpiPen
The EpiPen now must be properly discarded. The ambulance crew will be able to throw the used EpiPen away in their sharps container, or you may need to discard it in its original container.

Day after the end of the season
FROM LAS VEGAS — Washington State's season is over after it lost a 64-62 heartbreaker to Washington last night. It was a late one, so we don't have quite as much as usual to pass along. But we do have quite a bit. Read on.
Here's our game story, which, admittedly, isn't all that great due to the tight timespan in which it had to be written. But that's how it goes with these tournaments. We also had a tale of the tape post last night with a few more quotes than usual to compensate for the fact that we don't have a quotes post. … Here's the game story from the Seattle Times, the News Tribune and a story I chipped in for Sportspress Northwest.
Around the Pac-12 …
Arizona State 89, Stanford 88 — Jahii Carson scored 34 points to help the Sun Devils into the quarterfinals. The Cardinal were a long shot to begin with.
Colorado 74, Oregon State 68 — Order was restored for the Buffaloes, who lost their regular season finale to the Beavers in Boulder last week. It was an emotional exit for a Beavers senior.
Utah 69, USC 66 — The Utes outlasted the undermanned Trojans, overcoming some trash talk in the process. The Trojans fought back from a 13-point deficit but couldn't quite pull it off.
Today …
No. 1 UCLA vs. No. 9 ASU, noon (Pac-12 Networks) — The Bruins' star freshman is making his homecoming today.
No. 4 Arizona vs. No. 5 Colorado, 2:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks) — Arizona sees a bit of itself in the Buffaloes, who are primed for a rubber match against the Wildcats.
No. 2 California vs. No. 10 Utah, 6 p.m., (Pac-12 Networks) — The Bears are ready to go after their first-round bye.
No. 3 Oregon vs. No. 6 Washington, 8:30 p.m. (ESPNU/WatchESPN) — The Ducks say it's a business trip this week.
All for now. We're headed to the Idaho men's game against New Mexico State at noon, and will be at the UW-Oregon game tonight.

|Related: DEFIANCE, Syfy
Syfy's highly-anticipated DEFIANCE will have its series premiere Monday, April 15 @ 9pm with a two-hour episode (culminating in a total of 12 episodes/13 hours). Defiance, an unprecedented approach to storytelling, will unite scripted television and online gaming for the very first time. Both the series and the game feature an interconnected world and storylines that will launch in early April with the release of the game and continue seamlessly with the series premiere on the 15th.
Defiance stars Grant Bowler (Nolan), Julie Benz (Amanda Rosewater), Stephanie Leonidas (Irisa), Tony Curran (Datak Tarr), Jaime Murray (Stahma Tarr), Graham Greene (Rafe McCawley) and Mia Kirshner (Kenya).
About Defiance
Set in the near future, Defiance introduces an exotically transformed planet Earth, its landscapes permanently altered following the sudden - and tumultuous - arrival of seven unique alien races. In this somewhat unknown and unpredictable landscape, the richly diverse, newly-formed civilization of humans and aliens must learn to co-exist peacefully. Each week, viewers will follow an immersive character drama set in the boom-town of Defiance, which sits atop the ruins of St. Louis, MO, while in the game, players will adventure in the new frontier of the San Francisco Bay area. The dramatic tapestry of the series and the intense action of the game will exist in a single universe where their respective narratives will inform one another and evolve together into one overall story.
The series, produced by Universal Cable Productions, is executive produced by Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Caprica; Hellcats) & Michael Taylor (Battlestar Galactica). Kevin Murphy serves as showrunner. Scott Stewart (Legion, Priest) directed the pilot; Michael Nankin will serve as supervising producer/director on the series. The game was named "Best MMORPG" from GameSpy at the recent E3 conference in June 2012 (among other accolades).

Despite increased local ratings and huge buzz from their move to Brooklyn, the new-look Nets haven't been much of a draw on national television.
Nets ratings on the YES Network have jumped 262 percent, but the Nets haven't exactly been a boost for TNT and ESPN. Their Thursday night showdown with the Bulls (who are, admittedly, banged up) drew 1.05 million viewers for Turner, one of their lowest audiences of the season. That follows up a game between Brooklyn and Dallas on March 20 that drew just 982,000 viewers, the second-least watch game on ESPN all season.
Other than on two occasions, Nets ratings have been mediocre at best. On cable, a solid NBA game should hit above 2 million viewers, a plateau Brooklyn has hit just twice: on Christmas Day (3.7 million for Nets/Celtics) and with the Miami Heat at the Barclays Center (2.0 million on Jan. 30).
The Nets rivalry with the Knicks has also proved to be disappointing TV. All three games on TNT and ESPN drew around 1.6-1.8 million. The last time the Knicks faced the New Jersey Nets on national television in April of 2011 on ESPN, the two teams drew 1.5 million.
2012-13 Brooklyn Nets national television ratings
Boston vs. Brooklyn, Nov. 15 (TNT): 1.4 million
New York vs. Brooklyn, Nov. 26 (TNT): 1.7 million
New York vs. Brooklyn, Dec. 11 (ESPN): 1.7 million
Brooklyn vs. New York, Dec. 19 (ESPN): 1.68 million
Boston vs. Brooklyn, Dec. 25 (ESPN): 3.7 million
Miami vs. Brooklyn, Jan. 30 (ESPN): 2.0 million
San Antonio vs. Brooklyn, Feb. 10 (ESPN): 1.3 million
Dallas vs. Brooklyn, Mar. 20 (ESPN): 982,000
Brooklyn vs. Portland, Mar. 27 (ESPN): 1.5 million
Chicago vs. Brooklyn, Apr. 4 (ESPN): 1.05 million

Louisa May Alcott wrote her novel "Little Women" in 1868, less than fifteen years after the end of the Civil War and at a time when American women were starting to question their role in society. Alcott herself grew up watching the Civil War, was a young adult and - it is said - personally questioned women's rights and roles with respect to relationships, money and position. The protagonist, Jo, is the eldest of four sisters and views her siblings' rush to marriage, their obedience to strong relatives, including mother and father, and even the poverty of the "reconstruction" period as unacceptable situations in her mind. Critics have studied Alcott's characters and the author's own life and see direct connections to the circumstances and viewpoints of Jo. As the story progresses, Jo watches one young sister, Meg, rush into marriage to a man, Brooke, who Jo sees as domineering. She watches another, Amy, go off to pursue her dream as an artist and to eventually marry a young man who - at first - loved; and was spurned by; Jo. A poignant and heartbreaking moment in the novel and in this opera is the death of little sister Beth; mirroring the death of Louis May's actual younger sister of scarlet fever. Throughout, Jo is portrayed as a character who evolves from cynical and self sufficient to a young woman who feels alone and unsure to, ultimately, someone who finds her calling as a writer and - in the final scene - seems to be at rest with the notion of marrying a German professor, Friedrich, who she met during her studies. Mark Adamo is one if the brightest and most accessible young composers on the scene. He composed "Little Women" for the Houston Grand Opera in 1998 and this DVD performance represents director Brian Large's television rendition but with original casting and scenery intact. Both as compelling storyline and as an opera this succeeds on all levels. Just like the novel, which; for many years, has been a thematic staple for younger readers, the drama is emotional and internal. This is not an action piece or a scenery piece. The performances thrive because of the strong performances within. Stephanie Novacek as Jo brings a strength and determination with the requisite underlying vulnerable to her performance. She sings while shedding tears during Beth's death scene. Similarly, the other sisters; Joyce DiDonato as Meg, Stacey Tappan as Beth and Margaret Lloyd as Amy reflect emotions ranging from bull-headedness to naivete and so convincingly. The male parts - as in the novel - are not the centerpiece. Yet, contemporary music star James Maddalena brings a loving, but not quite fully aware, father to life and Chad Shelton as the love struck, somewhat naive Laurie is terrific. Adamo's music is unashamedly romantic and tuneful. The signature pieces, such as "Perfect as We Are" and the four sisters' "Nocturne" are emotional gems and the Houston Opera chorus and orchestra under conductor Patrick Summers provide a warm, focused and never intrusive sound. This disc is highly recommended for fans of the novel, for fans of new opera and even for fans of some of the newer "operatic" music theater, like Adam Guettel. Adamo is an engaging, talented new voice and I, personally, look forward to San Francisco Opera's premiere of his "The Gospel of Mary Magdalene" Should be terrific if "Little Women" is any indication!Was this review helpful?

May 29, 2006 17:20
An Bord Pleanála has refused retention planning for a convention centre in south Dublin by HSS, a company connected to developer Jim Mansfield.
The 6,000-seater centre, with provision for 675 car parking spaces, had been granted planning permission by South Dublin County Council last October.
But in a decision today, an Bord Pleanála refused planning, in part, due to the scale of the development. The €50m centre first became a source of controversy when Mr Mansfield's company built a steel frame and part of the roof without full planning approval.
In 2004, the firm was fined €1,750 and ordered to pay costs of almost €30,000 to the council after Tallaght District Court found it had failed to comply with an enforcement order by the council to stop work on the centre. But last year the Council decided to grant him permission to build the convention centre at Citywest, in Saggart, Co Dublin.
A spokesman for Jim Mansfield described the decision as disappointing. He added that that the company would look at its options when it had read the full report.

A tale of drugs, sex, debauchery and madness," say the ads for the Royal Ballet's current revival of Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling. Even Opera Rara's performance of Donizetti's Maria di Rohan next month is being pitched as "Death, Duels and Love". Yes. And Hamlet is about fratricide, suicide and mother fixation and Tosca is about poisoning, execution and suicide.
You can get too po-faced about this, of course. It's a tongue-in-cheek attempt to make classical performance seem exciting. But, aside from the fact that it's patronising to try and sell works in this way, it's also misses the point. Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling to some his finest full-length ballet certainly has plenty of sex, drugs and decadence. It's based on the life and death of Prince Rudolf, the ill-fated son of the Emperor Franz Josef, despised by his father, ignored by his mother, married off against his will to a Belgian princess, a slave to drugs and self-disgust, who finally dies in a suicide pact with an adolescent young mistress procured for him by a previous one. It caused not a few jaws to drop when it was premiered before the Queen Mother in 1978 (although I doubt whether she was that taken aback). And even today it packs a powerful punch as it climaxes in a grim burial of the poor young girl in secret, while the Prince lies in state officially dead of a "heart attack".
But MacMillan's object was not simply to produce a snuff movie in tights. You don't need ballet to do that. Indeed, if that is all you are on about, then ballet with its formalised movements, tends to exaggerate the hysterical to the point of absurdity. Instead it was to portray the individual as a mirror and victim of a society (that of the Hapsburgs) in decline. A tortured, alcoholic and in many ways solitary figure himself as Jann Parry describes in a revealing and hefty new biography (Different Drummer: the Life of Kenneth MacMillan, Faber and Faber) MacMillan makes the story into one of tragic self-destruction, a man driven by demons not all of his own making and a position at court that ensures personal growth is impossible.
It's exactly what Shakespeare, Verdi, Schiller and the other great artists of the solitary figure compelled by fate and their own nature to a tragic end tried to do, to marry the individual with the times, only MacMillan was a choreographer and he paints his picture and propels the narrative through a series of astounding dances set against imperial tableaux, each act climaxing in a pas de deux between Rudolf and one of the women of terrifying intensity.
Now you may find it overwrought and claustrophobic (which in a sense it is meant to be). You can sit back and simply admire, as some do, its inventive choreography rather than the story, the first full-length British ballet centred on a male dancer in the manner of the Russians.
Or you can feel, as I do, that it is one of the most emotionally devastating ballets of our time, a work that achieves through the marriage of Liszt's richly romantic music and MacMillan's unique imagination the great feat of making you feel for and with a dissolute and decidedly unappealing man. And that, in the end, is the only way to sell it a dark masterpiece of doomed destruction.
Small is beautiful
The big exhibitions make all the publicity these days. Understandably. That's where our free-entry museums make their money. But it's the smaller shows that provide the unexpected pleasures of gallery going. Take the British Museum's new display of prehistoric Dogu figures from Japan up the stairs in the exhibition area by the Japanese galleries. It's not even advertised on the main "What's On" page of the museum's website, but it is a little stunner, two rooms of pots and figurines dating from between 2,500 and 300BC. No-one quite knows their purpose. Some sites reveal them deliberately shattered, others carefully buried whole. But they have, like Cycladic art, a primitive force that is at once energetic, mysterious and almost playful.
The wonderful thing about the exhibition is not only that it includes many of the best figures from this period, and that they have been gathered together from a whole range of provincial museums in Japan, but that the show is free presumably courtesy of the sponsors, Mitsubishi Corporation. We have been somewhat starved of exhibitions from the BM's Japanese department of late, after years on which it could be relied on to produce goodies galore. This makes up for it all.
* This has been the 250th anniversary of George Handel, the greatest global musical talent to have made London his home. And if you haven't noticed it, that's because there has been so little special celebration. The ever-devoted Handel Society has done its best, there have been nods in the Proms and down at Glyndebourne. But where has been the month-long festival in the Haymarket or Covent Garden to a German-born artist who gave us his all and some of the finest music ever written?
So all praise to English Touring Opera, which has just completed a multi-opera Handel fest in London. It is now taking it to Malvern, Exeter, Bath, Snape and Cambridge. Five operas in all, including the sublime Ariodante and Alcina and the revival of their recent production of Teseo (which did convince me that it's worth far more than its reputation). ETO's new offering, Flavio, is a model of small-theatre, restrained direction. Simple scenery, proper costumes, first-class singers and let the music sing for itself. Too often, even in some of ETO's productions, there is tendency to try and make the arias more active by being busy busy on stage. The production of this semi-serious opera from 1723 doesn't quite convince me that it is a forgotten masterpiece, but it is immensely entertaining. If anyone moans about the cost of opera and its London-centric obsessions, here's your answer. It can be done on the cheap and it can travel.

The Recording Academy Releases Statement on Passing of Jules Chaikin
The Recording Academy's President/CEO Neil Portnow has released the following statement on the passing of Jules Chaikin.
"An accomplished trumpeter, music contractor and contributor to film scores, Jules Chaikin was a highly talented musician with a career that spanned several decades. Chaikin worked with such artists as the Carpenters, Chicago, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Kenny Rogers, Nina Simone, and Johnny Mathis, and he contributed to such films as The Rose, A Star Is Born, Ghostbusters, and Star Wars. We were fortunate to have him as part of our GRAMMY family not only as a past elected leader but as a music conductor on the telecast for more than 20 years. We have lost a gifted musician and a giving individual, and our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends and all those who were fortunate to work with him."

I had a dream last night that I managed to observe the staff forums by exploiting some glitch (I wouldn't know where to start exploiting glitches, but dream-me is awesome at it) and what did I see? Dice and Yoda posting on there!!!! RAGE! They aren't staff! Eventually by reading their posts I discovered that they are infact spies hired by RPGfan to check on member activities and report back to them.
I feel so betrayed.
