circa February 21, 1968
Marian Morgan
Biographical/Historical abstract:
Marian Morgan was a student at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and news editor of The Carolinian in 1968.
Additional contributor:
This February 21, 1969, article from The Carolinian, the student newspaper of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) states that the only barrier to instituting a black studies program was the lack of student interest in such a program. According to History Department chair Richard Bardolph, the department and administration have no problem with the program. Bardolph was at the time working on his second book on The Negro in America. A black studies curriculum had been a stated goal of the recently-formed Neo-Black Society, a student organization.

Flight to Wales makes emergency landing in Paris
A plane en route to Wales has been forced to make an emergency landing in Paris.
The Flybe service, which was flying from Geneva to Cardiff, landed unexpectedly in France shortly before 4pm today.
According to passengers on the plane there were 67 people on board the low-cost airline's flight when it landed at Paris Orly International Airport.
Among them was Luke Broadley, who was returning to the UK from a skiing holiday, and tweeted about the incident.
Mr Broadley wrote:

- Strength Exercise Selection
What exercises you choose to do are the starting point for creating an optimal workout. You have to make wise selections that make the most of each exercise. My advice is to choose strength exercises that are multi-joint exercises rather than single joint movements. For example, choose a squat over a leg extension and you get far more return on your exercise investment. Additionally, this sort of exercises selection is much more likely to simulate real life or real sports movements. In real life we use many muscles and joints in very rapid succession to move. Working out this way eliminates the need for isolated movements like bicep curls. Keep this in mind when you select your exercises during training.
Keep the number of exercises manageable. Three to five high intensity exercises is about right. Don't think you can do 15 strength exercises in one session and still get a high intensity workout. With too many exercises, you tend to fatigue before you finish or lower your overall output and get a lesser quality workout.
The optimal time for a full strength training workout at high intensity is about 30 minutes.
- Frequency of Strength Training Session
The two factors the determine your strength gains are the intensity of the exercise performed and allowing an appropriate rest and recovery period after the workout. For this reason, most strength workouts are build around the concept of short, high intensity weight workouts followed by one to two days of rest to let the muscles rebuild and become stronger.
Research shows that muscles continue to build fibers and become stronger for up to a week after a workout that is performed to muscle failure. This underscores the importance of alternating a high training intensity with adequate rest periods in order to build muscle.
- Number of Sets Performed
There is a lot of discussion about how many sets of an exercise to do. The bottom line is if you can do one set to exhaustion, that is probably enough. The reason many people need to do multiple sets is that they didn't perform the first one at maximum intensity.
There are other reasons to perform multiple sets and the biggest one is safety. Performing one set of maximum effort can increase your risk of injury f you haven't thoroughly warmed up or if you don't use perfect lifting technique. Sometimes it's smart to use a set to make sure you don't over-lift (lift more than you are capable of lifting in a safe manner).
If you are experienced and skilled at weight lifting, go ahead and perform the first set at max effort and work to failure.
Research backs up the idea that one set training produces the same strength gains as multiple sets and it does this in less time.
- Number of Repetitions Performed per Set
There are a lot of different recommendations regarding how many reps to perform during weight training. How many you should do depend on your training goals and current level of fitness. Keep in mind that strength training promotes increases in both functional strength (how much you can lift) and muscle hypertrophy (how big your muscles grow).
Higher repetition during weight lifting sessions stimulate the slow twitch muscle fibers and promote muscle endurance. Lower repetitions during weight training (at a higher intensity) activate the fast twitch muscle fibers and increase strength and muscle size. One simple way to get the best of both of these training methods is to vary your training repetitions. Because both are important for overall athletic conditioning, and many strength training experts will recommend varying the number of repetitions through a 8-10 week training cycle. Keep in mind that performing high intensity lifts is still necessary even if you are performing 50 repetitions. The weight must be heavy enough that you reach fatigue at the last repetition in order to promote functional muscle growth.

A black bear was spotted in the Deerbourne neighborhood in South Richmond.
The bear was spotted around Glenan Drive, near the intersection of Hopkins and Warwick Roads, according to neighbors. The bear was lumbering in the woods, bordering the street, a witness said.
Police are warning neighbors to watch out for black bears. Officers passed out flyers, letting people know what to do if they come face to face with a wild bear. Police found tracks, but didn't locate the bear.
"We're supposed to call animal control, but my first instinct would probably be to get into the house as soon as possible," said Christi Munford, who lives in the neighborhood and was shocked to hear the warning from police. "Not around here, and I've lived here all my life. I was born and raised in this area, and never…"
"I feel scared because I got a family," said Carlos Silva, who lives across the street from where the bear was spotted.
Wildlife experts from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries say it's not uncommon for bears to find their way into residential neighborhoods, many times by following water sources like the James River or nearby creeks.
Officials say black bears often show up in Richmond, especially in the spring. Mama bears often detach from their yearling cubs this time of year. Food is also scarce in the spring. Bears will search garbage cans, bird feeders and dog food dishes. Still, a bear spotting in the city comes as a surprise to many.
"I've never heard about bears...I was just telling my daughter, 'What is a bear doing out here?'" laughed Sayeed Shabazz, who also lives in the neighborhood.
Officials warn that if you encounter a bear, leave it alone and call police or animal control. Bears are naturally shy of people, and are likely just looking for food. Wildlife experts say more bear sightings should be occurring in the upcoming weeks.

Ok so I have another one of my daily thoughts running through my head. The IWC has collectively decided that rock and cena both suck. Yeah, there promos are so forced, the story line is stupid, cena with his " I had a terrible year " bullshit. But in the long run, is this match so bad?? First, I think we need to take a look at last year. I for one, liked the feud. I know many people didnt., but i did. I mean, C`mon, we got Homeless power ranger, transvestite wonder women, and fruity pebbles out of it. And rocks Boston Promo, going to all of the historical sites, throwing john cenas merch into the boston harbor. " Theres a man in his 40`s with this thing in his garden. And he`s a VIRGIN." Plus the "rock concert" was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. And about the match, yeah wasn`t that great, but hey, False finishes, big crowd moments, some good stuff all around. Fast forward to now. On Raw, Rocky and Cena both cut a really good promo in my opinion. Cena was doing what made John Cena good. He stayed away from the poop and wiener jokes, and kept it intense. The rock, was, for the first time since his first promo with punk, The Great One. No dumb ass stories, no twinkie tits, just a really solid promo that had its funny moments. Classic Rock. So maybe WWE realizes we dont want to see these 2 insult each other like 3rd graders. These are two guys that CAN be very good when there given the right kind of material to work with.
This will work if we continue to get good promos. Keep it up boys, your winning me over right now

We are back from the St. Louis International Film Festival! The Honor Diaries team was proud to be a part of the opening weekend of the festival, in the Human Rights spotlight.
We were excited to be featured along with stellar films focused on a variety of human rights issues. Reception for 'Honor Diaries' was great – this is a picture of me with a few students from the University of Missouri – St. Louis who told me that they were very pleased to see Muslim women represented in a strong and positive way.
We also received the tremendous honor of winning the Interfaith Award for Best Documentary at the festival! We hope this amazing accolade will draw attention to the important issues we are dealing with and the powerful women who are fighting to overcome them.
Our screening was paired with 'Hole in the Sky', a visually stunning short film that focused on one African girl's preparation to have her female genital mutilation (FGM) ceremony performed. 'Hole in the Sky' highlighted the interesting and sometimes dichotomous relationship between the desire to celebrate culture and the necessity of protecting human rights.
It raised the questions – where do we draw the line on imbuing beauty and meaning in cultural practice and protecting women's rights? How can we advocate for women in a culturally sensitive way? After the screening, a thoughtful young man asked me if we had received criticism of being "colonialist" and if we were being culturally imperialistic.
I just started my LLM in human rights and international law, and everyday I'm reading fascinating articles about balancing culture with human rights; about law finding the balance between the individual and the group. These are tricky questions – but at the end of the day, I try to use a moral compass composed of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a focus on human dignity and human rights for all, regardless of race, religion, culture and tradition.
The questions surrounding putting an end to harmful cultural practices and upholding the rights of women and children are not simple – and there are no simple answers.
I hope that 'Honor Diaries' provokes debate that allows us to deeply question our beliefs and find the best path toward universal human rights for all.

Petersburg Police talk with 8News after one of their own is charged in connection with a fatal wreck. Petersburg Police officer David Christian has been charged with one count of reckless driving.
75-year-old Robert Allen and his 71-year-old wife Juanita were killed in Tuesday night's accident. Investigators tell 8News Officer Christian was going more than 30 miles an hour over the speed limit when he hit the couple's pickup truck. They say he also wasn't using his lights or sirens. According to Petersburg Police, Christian is on paid administrative leave.
"Officer Christian became a police officer to serve and protect and help people so the extent that he was involved in two people dying, understandably he'd be very upset," says Captain Gregory Seidel of the Petersburg Police Department.
Petersburg Police are offering condolences to the family but The Allens are still extremely upset.
According to police Juanita and Robert Allen were pulling out of a gas station on Washington Street when their pick-up truck was hit by the police officer's vehicle. The Allens' son Timothy tells us he wants to see more charges filed against the officer involved.
He tells us he plans to sue the Petersburg Police Department for his parents' deaths.
"Every time I see a police car, I see that accident scene. When I see a police car, it's just like a weapon going down the street because when they're not used properly. It is weapon."
Allen tells us a misdemeanor reckless driving charge is not enough. He hopes authorities will charge Officer Christian with manslaughter and that he will resign from the department.
Police are continuing to investigate the crash and the Allen's family members are preparing to bury the couple. Their funeral will be held on Saturday.

A crackdown of impaired drivers on Georgia's highways continues during the Christmas holiday travel period.
The Christmas holiday travel period started at 6 p.m. Friday and ends on Tuesday night. The New Year's holiday period starts at 6 p.m. Dec. 28 and ends Jan. 1.
Last year during the Christmas travel period, the Georgia State Patrol investigated 289 traffic crashes that resulted in 182 injuries and 1 death, according to the GSP. Troopers arrested 139 people on charges of driving under the influence during the same period last year.
Troopers, Motor Carrier Compliance officers and Capitol Police officers are also participating in Operation Zero Tolerance, in an effort to keep impaired drivers off of Georgia's roadways.
The focus of troopers' enforcement will be on impaired drivers, unrestrained drivers and passengers, and speeding.
Drivers are urged to check their vehicles' tire pressure and fluid levels; ensure windshield wiper blades are not cracked; make sure headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and tag lights are working, said Col. Mark McDonough, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, in a statement.

Waste cooking oil
Your questions answered about changes to the law concerning the use of waste cooking oil from catering premises.
What is waste cooking oil?
Waste cooking oils, also known as used cooking oils or recovered vegetable oils result from the cooking of food by food manufacturers and catering establishments such as restaurants and industrial kitchens.
Why are vegetable oils used in animal feed?
The addition of vegetable oils to animal feed is to produce high energy diets for certain intensive livestock enterprises.
Fats and oils, such as those used in cooking, contain essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids occur in all living organisms, including plants, and are used to bind ingredients of compound animal feed together.
A level of fatty acids in the diets of animals is essential since some unsaturated acids cannot be synthesised by the animal. Most animal diets contain comparatively low levels of fat, but supplementation with fat or oil is sometimes made.
Why is waste cooking oil from catering establishments being banned from use in animal feed but used cooking oils from manufacturing premises permitted?
The Animal By-Products Regulation bans the feeding to livestock of catering waste. The European Commission interprets catering waste to include used cooking oils from restaurants and catering facilities but does not include used cooking oils from manufacturing premises.
Oils from manufacturing premises are felt to be identifiable, traceable and to contain no specified deleterious or prohibited contaminants.
A scheme, audited by the Product Authentication International Ltd. (PAI), allowed their use in animal feed until 31 October 2004. The scheme, which involved collaboration between feed industry sectors and introduced Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles to the collection and processing of used cooking oils to be incorporated in feed, will continue for oils from food manufacturing premises. Further information on the work of the PAI can be found at the PAI website.
What is the Government doing to prepare for when the ban comes into effect?
We have joined forces under an umbrella task force being led by the Cabinet Office Business Regulation Team to look both at the market dynamics and at the more immediate issue of how to ensure that waste cooking oil is only used for legitimate purposes. This co-operative approach is proving extremely productive.
Won't this just lead to oils been tipped down the drain?
This advice adds to existing education initiatives to ensure that waste cooking oil is disposed of correctly, legally and in a manner that doesn't cause pollution or harm to health. We believe the existing authorised collectors will continue to collect waste and that producers from catering premises should not be directly affected. Local authority inspectors have been asked to check what catering premises are doing with their waste cooking oil.
How do I know who is an authorised collector?
An authorised collector will need to be registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier. A carrier will have evidence of registration and you should ask for proof. If you have any doubts you should contact your local office of the Environment Agency.
If the collector is authorised, surely as a producer that's all I need to do?
Producers, indeed anyone in the waste collection chain, have a Duty of Care to ensure that waste goes to an authorised person, is handled properly and consigned to authorised disposal or recovery. A general guidance leaflet on the Duty of Care can be obtained by calling Defra Publications on 08459 556 000 or at the Defra website.
Authorised uses include the production of biodiesel or burning as a fuel. What exactly is biodiesel?
Most quality bio-diesels sold commercially are produced by subjecting waste cooking oil to a chemical process, though there is some limited scope for production from physical processes. Waste cooking oil can also be burnt in a suitably authorised power station to generate electricity. Both these uses are seen as a valuable alternative to fossil fuels, particularly by contributing to the Government's targets for reducing gaseous emissions as part of its climate change and renewable energy policies.
Are biodiesel production plants and plant burning waste cooking oil subject to control?
Any establishment wishing to produce biodiesel or burn waste cooking oil or tallow will need to apply for authorisation from the Environment Agency prior to commencing production. This is to ensure that the plant operates to the necessary environmental standards. The nature of the authorisation will vary depending on the type of operation. In addition the establishment will need to register with HM Revenue & Customs to pay road fuel duty. Biodiesel currently enjoys a 20 pence per litre duty reduction compared with fossil diesel. Further details on which can be found at The HMRC website - HMRC reference: Notice 179E.
What should I do if I have any further concerns or questions?
This will obviously depend upon the nature of your enquiry. Issues concerning animal health and food safety should be directed to your Local Authority Trading Standards Department, those concerned with waste, the environment or pollution should be directed to the Environment Agency. Enquiries on PAI certified members should be made to PAI. HM Revenue and Customs should be approached on all duty exemption issues.

With a Y2K-fearing world hiding in bomb shelters, University of Calgary students hope to head back to a fully functional campus in January.
Students wondering about the university's potential Y2K problems need not worry, however, according to the University of Calgary's Year 2000 Project Team. The team has been working since Aug. 1998 to ensure a smooth return to classes.
"All priority systems have been checked and tested--it's all ready to go," said Team Leader Vince Van Hyfte. "It's live, it's working. We don't expect any problems."
Even so, students are a little uneasy about the safety of their marks and timetables, which are stored in the university's computer network.
"There's always that element of uncertainty, but for the most part we have faith in the university's ability to keep things under control," said third year General Studies student Brandi Clarke.
Van Hyfte is excited for the coming of the new millennium, and is sure all computer systems will be up and running.
"The Infonet is fully protected and backed up, as well as student e-mail," he said. "Absolutely no marks will be lost. The university's computer network is entirely Y2K compliant."
He added that the bank interfaces will be fine, and extra generators have been installed to ensure all buildings on campus will be lit and heated.
"The last year has been crucial to our project," said Van Hyfte. "We don't expect any problems and there's really no cause for concern."
Technicians will be on hand to handle any unexpected problems. Unlike some other Canadian universities, the U of C has not allotted any recovery time before students return to school for the winter session. Block week classes begin on Jan. 3, with regular winter session lectures beginning Jan. 10, 2000.

Deputies are responding to more outbursts at schools across Lee County. The result is that more students undergoing mental health evaluations after being committed through the Baker Act.
Baker Act reports are up 50-percent from 10 years ago, according to the Department of Children and Family Services. And in Lee County, the numbers are just as staggering.
- Learn more about the Baker Act
Amity Chandler, with the Lee County School District, says sometimes a student's plea for help can come in the form of writing. Other students, she explained, may have violent outbursts.
"It can be a physical outburst that escalates," she said. Officials we spoke with say one of those extreme situations happened last week when deputies met an Estero High School student in the hospital. That student had attempted suicide and told deputies, "Yes. I wanted to kill myself."
"There are two to three Baker Acts per week from elementary all the way through high school," Chandler said.
An outburst can land a person at the Lee County Mental Health Center for at least 72 hours. Officials we spoke with explained that a law enforcement agent or school resource officer can Baker Act a student even without the parents agreeing to it.
Experts say that students' erratic behavior seems to be escalating for a number of reasons. They say social media, bullying and lack of real relationships are factors.
But perhaps the most dangerous, they say, is drug use.
"We have an increase in kids certainly that are doing illicit drugs or taking prescription drugs that are not prescribed to them," said Sofia Adams, VP of the Lee County Mental Health Center.
They say there is one drug in particular that has an increased potential to put kids into a crazed state of psychosis. "There has been an increase in Spice; it's a synthetic type of weed. It can take days and days and days to clear so it's quite scary," said Adams. Lee Mental Health has already helped 960 people under 17 this year alone. That's more than they helped all of last year. Lee County Mental Health has been keeping their statistics for years. However, this is the first year the Lee County Sheriff's Office is tracking it. Deputies are also getting better crisis management training to assess mental health cases.

Federal Funds Available for Child and Adult Day Care Meals
Posted: October 20, 2008
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia child and adult day care providers seeking ways to serve nutritious, healthy meals could qualify for funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The program, which is administered through the West Virginia Department of Education, offers cash reimbursements for meals served to children. Some facilities may be eligible to receive USDA donated foods, as well.
Children enrolled at childcare centers or other facilities participating in the CACFP receive free meals. The reimbursement rate to providers varies, depending on the number of children eligible for free or reduced price school meals. Participants may be reimbursed for up to three meal types, including breakfast, lunch, morning or afternoon snacks, or supper.
Eligible childcare centers are licensed or approved public or private nonprofit facilities. For-profit child care centers also are eligible if they receive compensation under Title XX of the Social Security Act for at least 25 percent of the children enrolled, or if at least 25 percent of the children they serve are eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
Licensed or registered family day care home providers also may participate in the program under the auspices of an approved family day care sponsoring organization. There are 10 approved sponsors throughout West Virginia. Additionally, homeless shelters providing services for families and afterschool programs located in low-income areas can participate.

"Cockiness (Love It)" at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Thursday night
with a twist. Dressed in all-red everything, she welcomed Harlem, N.Y.,
rapper A$AP Rocky
to the stage for the remix. The pop star also showed off her short bob,
her backup dancers were stunning in gold and Rocky kept it casual.
While singing the tail end of his verse, the rhymer managed to grab some
of Rihanna's tail too. Rocky squeezed her backside and the Bajan beauty
playfully pushed him away. Hopefully Chris Brown didn't witness his fresh actions. click here to read more

- Newsletter
Students will complete a Theme Paper requirement, in their third year of study. The Theme Paper can take several forms. It can be a publishable conceptual paper that would review the literature in the student's chosen sub-field, and, in doing so, put forth and defend a thesis. It can be a publishable policy paper, which would be similar to a conceptual paper but would focus more on policy. It can be an in-depth course outline that would describe in detail a new course that a student wishes to teach, explain its conceptual underpinnings, and discuss analytically and synthetically its readings and assignments.
This requirement will be fulfilled by approval of the Theme Paper by a committee of two Senate Faculty members in the Department of Education, with final review by the Ph.D. Steering Committee. One of the committee members will be the student's advisor; the second member will be appointed by the Ph.D. in Education program director, in consultation with the student's advisor.
Within 10 days of receipt of the paper, the committee will provide one of three marks: Pass, Revise/Resubmit, or No Pass, and will also provide written commentary for the student. The Ph.D. Steering Committee will review the scoring and the Dean will provide written notification of the Committee's decision to each student.
Papers given a Pass successfully complete the requirement. Students who receive a Revise/Resubmit or a No Pass will have 30 days to revise and resubmit their paper for a second scoring by the committee. Students who receive a second No Pass will not be allowed to continue in the program.
(From Student Handbook, revised July 2012, pages 17-18)
Students may submit their Third Year Theme Paper anytime from passing the Second Year Research Paper to September 15 of their Year 4.
Students email one .doc copy and one .pdf copy to email@example.com.
Papers may be submitted at any point during a rolling deadline following passage of the Second Year Research Paper through 5:00 pm on September 15, 2013.

Paul Elie and Reinventing Bach
Reinventing Bach is the title of a new book by Paul Elie, a former senior editor at Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, now a Senior Fellow at Georgetown University's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1759) is the composer considered closest to God by many. His output was astonishing. His music is both intricate, spiritual and delightful. Yet this great composer went out of fashion for 100 years after his death, and again in the early years of the 20th century.
"Leonard Bernstein used to say that if you wanted to hear Bach you had to find special little concerts in little churches," says Elie. Bernstein wasn't speaking so long ago. Paul Elie's premise is that technology has made Bach available to the world, beginning with recordings by Albert Schweitzer and Pablo Casals.
Reinventing Bach is a provocative title. Did Bach need to be reinvented? What is meant by reinvented?
"I tell the story of Bach himself. I make the case that Bach was an inventor of a kind. In his work building organs and restoring old instruments, this made him a kind of inventor. The essential spirit of composition for Bach was one of invention."
Paul Elie was speaking to me from his office in New York. "I look at the way musicians in the modern era have used new technology to make the music of Bach new, to put it in new context."
Musicians like Pablo Casals, suddenly in the 1930s, had the ability to record Bach's cello suites, and convey the intimacy of the suites as no one had done before. And then enabled that music to go out all over the world, instead of being played only for the people in the hall."
Albert Schweitzer's early recordings (1932, 1933) of Bach's organ works both popularized this music to a global audience and tied in with the world's perception Schweitzer as a humanitarian.
"All great artists are invented again and again in the generations after their deaths. As late of the 1930s Bach was a musician's musician."
I asked Elie if he meant the term reinvention more for the composer, artist or listener?
"It's both, but I think you're right to put the emphasis on the listener. I'm not implying that people are reinventing Bach from scratch. Bach would take a melody, often a pre-existing melody and see all the different things that could be done with it. That's what invention is from a baroque point of view. The people whose stories I tell reinvented Bach partly by playing the music in new ways, and probably by playing it in new formats.
"Now, the listener could hear the cello suites in his own living room. So you could hear Glenn Gould playing the Goldberg Variations while driving your car. You can hear Yo-Yo Ma playing Bach's music on the soundtrack to Patrick O'Brian's film Master and Commander. Definitely our experience of the music of Bach has changed as much as the music has changed."
The historical performance movement of about 40 years ago uses original instruments and smaller numbers. No more huge choruses and massive orchestras. Large, high calorie performances of Bach by conductors Thomas Beecham and Otto Klemperer going back 50 or 60 years are now considered old fashioned.
"Otto Klemperer is a big part of my book. I listen to his St. Matthew Passion at Easter every year. I don't care if the performance style seems dated. It's a stupendous recording. I love it. That said, there's room for other interpretations. What people don't really understand is that the emergence of the historical performance movement coincided with the invention of the compact disc. Now you could record longer works.
Record companies went out and did new recordings of the entire canon. The fact that that's now the dominant approach has as much to do with the new technology, the emergence of compact disc and digital recording, as it does with tempi, markings, what kind of instrument you're using, the things we are mostly talking about when you talk of historical performance."
Bach's music can be overwhelming, both for the quality and for the sheer amount of music to hear! How does one begin? What's a good introduction to Bach's music?
"I'd answer that in two ways: one vocal and one instrumental. People often begin with the cello suites. They are accessible. They're played in the middle register without the very high notes and avoid the extremes of the violin works. The cello suites are a good point of entry for a person who doesn't know much about Bach's instrumental music. One person, one instrument, one work, a couple of microphones and six suites for cello."
As for vocal music, I love the Bach recordings of the late Lorraine Hunt Lieberson. I especially love her performance of Bach's cantata Ich habe genug. In that recording, you've got the spirit of the historically informed performance movement, a pretty tight orchestra, not too many instruments. But there's a robustness and a passion in the way Lorraine sang, which communicates on a very deep level even if you're hearing the recording for the first time."
Reinventing Bach is a delightful read, good for those who may be interested in Bach's music as well as devotees.

1st. its good to have the basketball season starting, i like hearing that camps have begun, players are working, teams are finishing up the roster spots.. the new d league rule is great. i think the number should be at 5, but they are growinging slowly.
off season thoughts- at first i wanted youth and rebuild! i thought if they signed morrow, redick, made some trades for younger players and start the rondo led era now it would help them more than hanging on.. but after they have brought in west, o'neal (both of them), wafer, bradley, harangody, semih. brought back nate, daniels. and obviously ray and paul. i'm slowly gaining that confidence as a fan that this team has what it takes.
my look at the rosters of the 4 teams that will contend-
la- with bynum already injured they dont have much front court depth. i understand pau and odom are there. and they brought theo ratliff in, but he isnt what he used to be. and who knows how healthy he'll be in a long playoff run. i understand that they won it last year, but they did it with size... the c's have added JO, shaq to help KG, perk, davis. and have semih able to help if needed..
orlando- i feel doesnt have the back court to beat boston. they proved last year that nelson and carter had problems keeping up with rondo and ray. they needed barnes on the court to help them, well barnes is in LA and q-rich doesnt play d. nate, west, daniels are a tough bench to keep up with for jwill, redick and company.
miami- i understand the lack of TA will hurt playing vs wade and lebron.. what i dont get is all the love for bosh. am i the only one who see's bosh as a little brother who was only signed to get his big brother to play also? bosh has never made the playoffs, and for a while the east was terrible!! he couldnt get them into the first round? if you are a max player in the league you should atleast be able to take a team on your back and force your way into the playoffs. pierce did, kg did, shaq, kobe, lebron, wade, melo, duncan, nowitzki, nash, durant, iverson, kidd, ewing, barkley, robinson, ray allen, payton, joe johnson all have in there careers. some farther than they should have gotten, last year rose & jennings did more for there teams than bosh did in toronto. gerald wallace, stephen jackson got charlotte in! dont give me toronto was to young because look at okc, memphis, portland. 2 of them made the playoffs. and portland was injured at key positions! .. the fornt court of the heat is where teams will attack! big z, howard, haslem, anthony & bosh will have as tough of a season as they ever have, but because lebron and wade are as good as they are no one will say anything. and it will be the same thing every year that lebron plays "deep team, great team" but when the playoffs start its he needs help. and this year it will be because of bosh not playing well vs kg, who plays vs shaq? the size of the c's and lakers will be a big issue for the heat! who will play vs howard for them? c's have shaq, perk, jo. la has pau, bynum, ratliff. miami is comfortable with howard, big z, haslem. i like howard i'm a big michigan sports fan but he is a 10 min player at this stage! miami made the mistake of not going after boozer for less money instead of bosh.
the fourth team to me is dallas- i think a full year with butler, haywood, dirk, terry, marion, kidd, chandler and company can cause issues for the lakers. they could run those 7 out there and it would cause problems. and with mad mark running the ship i'm sure they will make a trade to help out even more. i think they are the only issue the lakers will have this year. okc doesnt have the front court depth yet. i thought bosh would have helped them more than him in miami. but dallas if healthy will be a big issue out west! the spurs will drop off a little more. portland and the rest dont have the depth yet or size!
with kg more explosive, and the depth in the frontcourt, i think the celtics will have more in the tank late in the season. hopefully daniels and bbd are consistant. d-west stays away from ray rays mom. nate brings the tempo!
i think the celtics understand nothing is won in the first 82 games. pace themselves, stay healthy and enter in as the 3 seed.
your thoughts on my thoughts?????

Avignonesi Considers the Cork vs. Screw Cap Debate
If you had to be a bottle of wine, what would you choose to be: white, red or rose? Let's take this game one step further. What kind of closure would your alter-ego bottle have: a traditional cork made from trees that take 25 years to grow? A wishy-washy, synthetic cork? Or would you opt for cutting edge, practical screw caps? The inventor of the screw caps, a certain gentleman named Stelvin, might not enjoy the same fame as Steve Jobs, but his invention did revolutionize the wine bottling industry. One key factoid: in the past ten years the number of aluminum screw caps used has grown from 3 million to 3.5 billion.
This decision to move towards the more practical, though somewhat less romantic closure, has been shaped by fear of cork taint, 2,4,6 trichloroanisole (TCA) and the awareness that the aging process of wine takes place independently of the presence of cork. In other words, all that talk about corks allowing wine to age correctly could be fluff. Basically, if oxygen can get in, the cork is not doing its job properly. For these reasons, combined with the facts that it is increasingly difficult to get good quality corks due to the notable increase in the amount of wine being produced and that cork trees simply don't grow fast enough, more winemakers around the world are turning to screw caps.
Currently, Avignonesi uses screw caps on only one of our wines, Vignola, a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc. However, we will be using screw caps on next year's production of the 2011 vintage of Cantaloro, a Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese blend. The two wines, known as our Tuscan Duo, are both eminently drinkable, young wines and the choice to use screw caps on them reflects their easygoing qualities.
A short conversation with owner Virginie Saverys, export manager Brett Fleming and winemaker Ashleigh Seymour confirmed that Avignonesi stands by screw caps. During a course at ISVV in Bordeaux, Virginie tasted two ten-year old Burgundy Chardonnays from the same vintage. "The wine closed with screw cap was definitely in better shape than the one closed with cork. It was fresher, more vibrant, had kept more of its fruit, and had a longer aging potential than the bottle closed with cork." While Virginie also realizes that the ceremonial pop of the cork is a quintessential part of the experience especially for high-end wines, she is "convinced that for the quality of the wine and its aging capacity, the screw cap is better."
Both Ashleigh and Brett agree with Virginie wholeheartedly. Brett pointed out that it is not just a question of New World versus Old World wines: "Domaine Laroche in Chablis have been bottling Chablis, Premier crus and Grand Crus in screw caps since 2001." He also told an interesting story of his experience as an International Wine Judge assessing inventory from many companies in Australia dating back to the late 1800's. His role was to ascertain all the wines for faults based on their closures. "The wines from 1880-1935 under cork were pretty much all undrinkable. However, the wines from 1935-1950, which were sealed with screw caps, crown seals and basically anything the vintners could get their hands on - since cork supply in Australia was interrupted due to the war in Europe - were fine: not one was faulty due to the closure. Then, the post-1950 wines under cork went back to showing a variety of faulty expressions due to cork."
The longevity of a wine under screw cap and how this closure helps fend off taint will, over time, probably be the main factors that lead to further acceptance of screw tops around the world. Brett points out that preferences for one or the other kind of seal are at present determined by both generation and culture. Young drinkers in the USA appreciate screw caps for all wines, while older generations often opt for corks. Chinese consumers tend to prefer corked wines while, generally speaking, other Asian countries are more amenable to screw caps.
Ashleigh pointed out that screw caps are preferable to corks also because, in a roundabout way, they minimize the risk of "reduction," the industry name for the rotten egg odor that all wines are subject to and which is created by the presence of hydrogen sulfide. A winemaker using cork doesn't need to worry as much about reduction because cork often absorbs these odors. There is no absorption with the screwcap, however. So the winemaker using screw caps needs to be especially vigilant in the cellar. In Ashleigh's opinion, the best thing to do is create as excellent a wine as possible and then seal it with a screw cap. Jancis Robinson agrees; "Given that screwcaps enable the wine to be expressed in its truest form, there is no hiding of any winemaking faults so the issue surrounding hydrogen sulfide is all about winemaking and not the closure."
The benefits of the screw cap on both restaurants and individuals are obvious: the wines stay fresher and healthier. Ashleigh was also keen to point out that psychological studies show that it is "easier" for people to close a screw cap than to re-cork a bottle!
For die-hard traditionalists, rest assured: we won't be putting screw caps on many of our wines today as DOCG rules simply don't allow it. Wouldn't it be interesting to find out if this particular rule was written intentionally or if it is a holdover from an era when people didn't even consider screw caps a viable option…
We could, however, use screw caps on our Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano. Wouldn't you enjoy knowing that your wine is as it should be? Or would you miss the corkscrew opening ceremony? Do let us know your thoughts on the matter by writing to me at email@example.com

Garbage truck among fire sites in San Angelo Saturday
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Burning trash in the city limits may be illegal, but no citations were issued Saturday morning when a garbage truck went up in flames, closing down eastbound lanes of the Houston Harte Expressway for more than three hours.
"The fire started in the back of the truck, in the trash," said San Angelo Fire Department Battalion Chief Ricky Long.
The supersized truck had been out around town since the wee hours, robotically hoisting dumpsters and emptying their refuse into its hopper. An unknown element combusted the contents, and smoke emerged. The driver stopped the truck at the edge of the elevated roadway, 3800 West Loop 306 over Arden Road.
"A lot of people saw the truck bursting into flames," said an officer who was blocking an eastbound entrance to the loop. "There were a lot of calls to 911."
There were no reported injuries or related collisions, and because the truck was on a bridge, there was no grass or vegetation to catch fire in the windy morning.
But the engulfing flames left a metal shell where the truck had stood. Even after being extinguished by two fire trucks, the remaining metal was so hot a tow truck couldn't latch on to it, police said. The heavy-duty tow truck sat waiting for the garbage truck to cool down while the eastbound loop remained closed to traffic.
"The firefighters told us the temps reached 200 degrees," a police officer said.
"We will not be investigating the cause," Long said.
This sort of thing is not unusual in the trash-hauling world, he said, and is too labor-intensive to involve the fire marshal.
The truck's driver and Trashaway Services Inc. were not available for comment.
Later in the day, at least two other fires required fire department assistance.
One call was at Desert Shadow Apartments, where patio furniture caught fire on a balcony.
"The fire was put out with a handheld fire extinguisher, and the fire department was on hand to make sure it was out," Long said.
Downtown, a courtyard at the Concho Valley Transit District Multi-Modal Facility also saw flames, confined to woodchips in a small area surrounded by sidewalk.
"We don't know the cause of this, but the fire marshal will be looking into it," Long said. "With these winds today, a single spark from a cigarette or other source can start off a big wildfire."
Winds Saturday reached 25 mph, and humidity was down to 17 percent.
"The high winds are going to continue," Long said, "and this low humidity and dry vegetation. Our weather conditions have us (firefighters) pretty edgy.
He said all residents should heed the burn ban.
"It's there for a reason."
Tom Green County is under a burn ban until May 5, when county commissioners will have the option to renew it for another 90 days.
Exceptions include firefighting training, public utility, natural gas pipeline or mining operations, harvesting of agricultural crops and burns conducted by a prescribed burn manager.
City of San Angelo Fire Marshal Ross Coleman has asked residents cooking on outdoor grills inside the city limits to use propane as a fuel source.

Jolie 'grateful and overwhelmed by public support'
New York Times columnist Nick Kristof said he has spoken to Angelina Jolie and the actress is "grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of public support" following the news she had undergone a double mastectomy.
I've spoken to Angelina Jolie several times in last few days, and she has been so strong, so brave, so determined.
Angelina Jolie also asked me to thank everyone: She is SO grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of public support.
And she's thrilled and grateful to see people taking this and having serious, empowering discussions of women's health.

Man, one of our players is getting burned at the stake by a lot of our members here at MHR. Probably more outside of it too, but I don't bother with other forums. This community is more level headed and less like the Denver Post cry babies.(glad I never signed up) Something's been bothering me lately. More and more, I see posts stating DRC was such a selfish bastard and he's the main reason we lost to the Patriots. If he wouldn't have gotten himself injured on a pointless attempt at a stat padding play, we easily continue with the blowout. That's because he can cover the entire field, sideline to sideline. Man he's so selfish, that jerk.
I vehemently disagree with this accusation. If he catches that ball, he only has 300 lb linemen and Tom Brady in front of him. That's an extra 7 points in a game we lost by 3. Unfortunately, he misplayed the trajectory of the ball(due to high wind gusts) and ended up having to dive for it at the last second. Ultimately injuring his shoulder. DRC is one of the fastest players on the field and he is a pick-6 type of player. I didn't see selfish on that play at all. Honestly, can you point out a single selfish player on this team? Moreno goes inactive for 8 weeks and not a peep. Hillman, not a peep. First round pick Ayers, not a peep. There aren't any Jay Cutlers, Brandon Lloyds and Brandon Marshalls on this team. Someone please point out one of those characters in this locker room today. DRC was trying to make a play for his team and for you, the fans. Yet, we burn him for getting injured and costing us the win.
Look at Auburn. They win the game because of a play very similar to the one DRC got hurt on. Now if that player got tackled early, he'd be selfish for wasting precious seconds necessary for a hail mary. Instead, he's a hero and Auburn pulls off the upset. Everyone says it was a great play. So thin is the line between great and selfish........

World Extreme Cagefighting's (WEC) March event for this year is beginning to round out with the addition of two dynamic featherweights looking for redemption, as Diego Nunes and Leonard Garcia have verbally agreed to a featherweight bout at WEC 47, according to MMAWeekly.com.
Garcia is coming off a unanimous decision loss to the ever-improving Manny Gamburyan last Nov. at WEC 44: "Brown vs. Aldo." The former top contender to the 145-pound throne has not seen much success since dropping the title fight to Mike Brown at WEC 39 with the lone bright spot a narrow split-decision victory over Jameel Massouh at WEC 42.
Nunes, also a man looking to rebound from recent failure, will attempt to get back to his winning ways after dropping a unanimous decision to L.C. Davis, which was the first loss in his MMA career. "The Gun" had been on a two fight winning streak in the WEC and rising in the always competitive featherweight division.
The bout has "Fight of the Night" written all over it -- the two fighters are always game to throw down inside the Octagon. While a win does not escalate either fighter to contender status, a victory for either will be a huge step toward the top of a division ruled by champion Jose Aldo, along with former champions Urijah Faber and Mike Thomas Brown.
WEC 47 is set for Columbus, Ohio, on March 6, 2010. It will be headlined by a bantamweight title bout between champion Brian Bowles and top contender Dominick Cruz. Miguel Torres and Jens "Lil' Evil" Pulver are also featured on the card, as the two attempt to return to the winning ways they had become so accustomed to.
Stay tuned to MMAMania.com for breaking news and updates surrounding this blossoming card.

20 degree temperature drop expected Friday
Published On: Feb 15 2013 06:14:37 AM CST
We are expecting highs on Friday to be much cooler with about a 20 degree temperature drop from Thursday.
The cold front that moved through Thursday night has left the Big Country with breezy northeast winds from 10-20 mph Friday and highs near 50 degrees in Abilene.
Overnight temperatures will fall to the upper 20s with a mostly clear sky and light north winds.
It will be mostly sunny on Saturday with temperatures returning to near average at 60 degrees.
A strengthening pressure gradient will create windy conditions Sunday out of the southwest from 20-30 mph.
This will help warm temperatures to around 70 by Sunday afternoon.

I've been meaning to write a Feminist Friday post for a while.
Certainly I have lots of feminist things to say: as a woman, first and foremost, but also as a mother, as a married woman (that I chose to get married and took my husband's name – for all sorts of not very interesting reasons, I might add – is about a week's worth posts on its own)… I could write a few essays.
Maybe that's why I don't post about it that often; because there's so much to say I might NEVER STOP. Also, I do write a lot of things for BitchBuzz on that theme, like this piece on the feminist nightmare of children's TV shows. Or maybe it's because I feel like sticking my head above the feminist parapet can sometimes be unsafe, and that makes me less active than I'd like to be. Certainly I've read enough utterly terrifying and distressing posts about what outspoken feminists are subject to online to make me shy away from stating my feelings about emotive subjects publicly too often.
I do, though, like the Feminist Friday prompt, which helps consolidate my thoughts on a single topic. This week it's 'reverse sexism'.
Let me start by defining the term, because on the surface it makes no sense. I don't think 'sexism' (unlike 'misogyny') denotes lesser treatment of women per se. If you're treating a man badly because of his sex or perceived gender, it's just plain sexism. Nothing reverse about it.
But it's telling that we think of sexism as just applying to women, isn't it? It's telling that we basically know that misogyny is far more common than misandry (a term that, for the record, does not mean the opposite of misogyny; the opposite of misogyny is not hating women). When we say that it's 'reverse sexism', we're already admitting that we believe there is a privilege imbalance, and that men are so rarely treated badly – as a group, not individually – by society that we even need to qualify the word 'sexism' in order to apply it to them.
So what do I think when men are treated badly, or pointlessly exluded or villified? Well, I think it sucks. Because I think it sucks when anyone is treated badly for a stupid reason, particularly something as uncontrollable as an accident of birth. I think it's bad for men, and I think it doesn't help women in the slightest either. In fact, I'd argue, most cases of sexism towards men are invariably sexist towards women as well (perhaps because thinking of people as biological sex or percieved gender first and people second is never going to end well).
There seems to be a slight tendency among some women to think it's funny when the sexist lens is turned on men, or think it's somehow levelling the playing field. Depicting a man as a bumbling, inept oaf in an ad? Drooling over half-naked pictures of a footballer or movie star? Infantilisation and objectification ftw? Erm, no. And might I just say that 'Darren', a commenter on the piece I just linked to explaining my dislike of lazy man-bashing, is possibly the best proof I have that this definitely affects women as much as men; see his pearl of wisdom on housework.
Not only do two wrongs definitely not make a right, but by doing these things we are not bringing things down to an equal footing. We're merely providing approval for more ridiculous patriarchal nonsense.
For example, when we objectify a famous man, we're saying it's okay to use women's bodies to sell things because we're using men's bodies too, rather than asking ourselves if it's really okay to mindlessly use people's bodies that way at all.
And when men are portrayed as domestically useless, we're underpinning the 'I Don't Know How She Does It' trope that insists women can't have it 'all' where 'all' is never defined for men. Despite women storming into the ranks of the working world, they still do more than their fair share of domestic labour, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard a woman expressing discomfort with the idea of a man getting involved in that domain at home, even though she's working as many hours out of the home as he is.* Now, of course for men there's a payoff into being made to look like idiots here, which is that they don't have to do housework. So what starts out looking like sexism against them still turns out to hand power over to men. And the worst part is when women start internalising it all, believing that it's biologically determined that she shalt never fix the drippy tap and he shalt never change a nappy.
I will leave the rant about the limits of biological determinism is for another day (it's been put much better by Dr. Lise Eliot and Natasha Walter, among others, anyway).
So, maybe the reason why we think of it as 'reverse' sexism is just that. That even when we're putting men down, we still seem to shove women even further down the ladder of equality and respect.
I'd like to make a brief side-note about 'whatabouttehmenz'. If you've not come across that concept before, in a nutshell, it's when you try to discuss an issue, in a feminist space, that disproportionately affects women but someone pops up to insist you're leaving men out. It's related to the argument that says women-only spaces are sexist.
The thing is, that when those things happen to men they are not less important, or serious or tragic. It's just that sometimes the same issue can affect different genders in different ways, not because those genders are pre-determined by biological sex, but because of varied upbringing. There might also be cultural reasons why those things happen that differ depending on the group you're in. So sometimes it can be right and not discriminatory in the negative sense to segregate for the purpose of tackling a major issue. That doesn't stop men from gathering together themselves and deserving the same respect and attention paid to their issues. And of course, men only spaces are not automatically misogynist.
Naturally, there are many cases when there is no need to separate and standing together is both appropriate and welcomed.
So, there you are. My first Feminist Friday post. It might or might not become a regular occurrence; we shall see.
*Not me. If anything the housework duties are weighted in my favour, and I need to pull my weight more, but that's not because I think it's 'man's work' or beneath me or because my husband thinks I'm too stupid to do it, it's because poo-filled nappies are better avoided if you can possibly get away with it.

The Dodge Dart name is more than a tribute to the heritage of the
original Dart -- it's a tribute to its aerodynamic design.
It's good thing, too, as the new Dodge Dart Rally Car will get
plenty of air time with X-Games star and Rally America Champ Travis
Pastrana at the wheel during the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship.
"Everything I've done in my entire life has been about aggression,
going for broke, taking chances. Dodge Dart allows me to get back
to my roots," Pastrana said.
Motorsports start thinking and planning about getting involved in
rally cross just since last April. While SRT Motorsports may be
relatively late in putting all the pieces together, Pastrana said
it won't be an issue.
In talking about SRT Motorsports and Dodge, he said, "These guys do
things really meticulous. They do it right."
While the full Global RallyCross Championship schedule is not
finalized, the first race is all set: May 26 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, in
tandem with NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series stop.
SRT Motorsports President/CEO Ralph Gilles said having a car in the
GRC will help the company connect with the 16-34 age group, "an
audience we really haven't connected with in our motorsports."
Both Gilles and Dodge Brand President/CEO Reid Bigland said the
decision on a rally car sponsorship with Pastrana was a natural
"We look for people that represent Dodge who fit our DNA," Gilles
said. "These are approachable men, fun-loving who get the most out
of life.
"Just cool people."
Bigland added that Pastrana "is a proven winner. He epitomizes what
Dodge is all about, about an extreme competitive spirit and at
the same time wanting to have fun."
You can watch a reply of the 45-minute rally car announcement and
Q&A with Pastrana,
Gilles and Bigland.

Even if it feels a little awkward at first, in time, it'll be a breeze. If you want to learn an easy way to do it, then take a look at these step-by-step photos. — Additional reporting by Nicole Perry What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lay the pineapple on its side and cut the top. 1 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rotate the pineapple and cut off the bottom.

Try smelling the bottom of it - if it's too sweet, generally it's already starting to ferment, but it should definitely smell pineappley. And of course, there's the old trick of getting them home, ripping off the crown of leaves, and flipping the guy upside-down to let the sugars redistribute before cutting and serving. Otherwise, the bottom sometimes tends to taste sweeter than the top. brookrene 6 years Yum, how do you pick a pineapple? How do you tell if it's good or not, i never know how to choose one.

Hi all I have decided to take my blizzard out of civic duty as the family grocery getter and return it to its glory days as a very fun mountain bike. I started out with a new cassette, chain and front sprockets. Added some new tires, brake pads, ordered a new stem, handlebar and grips. Also have some new decals coming to refresh it as I de-badged it to keep it safer from thieves.
So I have a couple questions. I have hunted through the forums here but can't really find the answers I am looking for.
1. Do any manufacturers make an 80mm travel front fork with brake post for V-Brakes to replace my old and sloppy Judy XC? My hubs and wheels are still in great shape and really do not want to spend the extra $$ for a fork, new wheel and disk brake. Forks are expensive! WOW! Would just like to update the forks.
2. Can I convert my old wheel set over to tubeless or am I just better off sticking with tubes.
I'll post a picture or two when I get stuff that has been ordered put on.
Many thanks for any input!
