The Emerson String Quartet
Eugene Drucker, violin; Philip Setzer, violin; Lawrence Dutton, viola; David Finckel, cello
Quartet-in-residence at Stony Brook University since 2002 and dubbed "America's greatest quartet" by Time magazine, the Emerson String Quartet recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary with a nine-concert "Perspectives" series in Carnegie Hall's Isaac Stern Auditorium, featuring a complete Beethoven quartet cycle in context with other works.
Since its inception 30 years ago at the Juilliard School, the Quartet has accrued a distinguished record of educational accomplishment, through teaching appointments at the Hartt School, the Isaac Stern Chamber Music Workshops in New York and Israel, the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshops, the Aspen Music Festival and School, and now, this premier workshop in Stony Brook for serious pre-professional string quartets, inaugurated in 2004 and occurring biennially.
The Emerson String Quartet also coaches chamber music, gives master classes, provides instrumental instruction, and performs several concerts during the year at Stony Brook's Staller Center for the Arts. Established quartets who have trained with the Emerson Quartet include the Artemus, Avalon, Calder, Escher, Miró, Pacifica, St. Lawrence, and Ying Quartets.
Renowned for its insightful performances, dynamic artistry, and technical mastery, the Emerson String Quartet has amassed a remarkable list of accomplishments, including more than 30 recordings over 20 years on the exclusive Deutsche Grammophon label, eight Grammy Awards including two for Best Classical Album, three Gramophone Awards and sold-out performances including the complete cycles of Beethoven, Bartók and Shostakovich quartets in the musical capitals of the world. Lauded internationally as masters of traditional and contemporary repertoire, the group has collaborated for three decades with such artists as Emanuel Ax, Barbara Bonney, Yefim Bronfman, Misha Dichter, Leon Fleisher, the Guarneri String Quartet, Thomas Hampson, Lynn Harrell, Barbara Hendricks, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, Paul McCartney, Menahem Pressler, David Shifrin, Richard Stoltzman, and the late Mstislav Rostropovich, Isaac Stern, and Oscar Shumsky.
The 2007-2008 season comprises over 80 worldwide engagements, with a particular focus on Europe. The quartet will appear at the festivals of Gstaad, Salzburg, Schwarzenberg, Merano, Ascona, Copenhagen, Cologne, and Stockholm, returning to Europe throughout the season for a three-concert series at London's Wigmore Hall, another three-concert series at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, a two-concert series at Vienna's Konzerthaus, its first appearance at Cité de la Musique in Paris and a pair of concerts at the Teatro della Pergola in Florence, with additional concerts in Spain, Austria, France, the UK, Germany and Italy.
The quartet's North American tours include stops in San Francisco, Stanford, Portland, Dallas, Philadelphia, Ann Arbor, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, Vancouver, Scottsdale, Savannah, and Houston. The Emerson continues its residency at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, now in its 28th sold-out season, and appears in New York with cellist Colin Carr, pianist Gilbert Kalish, violist Paul Neubauer, and clarinetist David Shifrin for Lincoln Center's Great Performers and with pianist Yefim Bronfman at Carnegie Hall.
The Emerson's artistic activity has also included such recent initiatives as The Noise of Time, a ground-breaking theater collaboration with Simon McBurney's Complicité based on Shostakovich's 15th Quartet, and the launch of their own ESQ podcasts.

|Russian translation of Persian mystic Najm ad-Din Razi's "Mirsad al-Ibad" comes out in Baku
The book was translated into Russian by Mehdi Kazimov, the dean of the Iranian Philology Department at Baku State University, the Persian service of IRNA reported on Friday.
The 470-page book, a summation of the Sufi tradition as it had developed by the thirteenth century, was published by Nafta-Press with the support of the Iran's cultural attaché's office in Baku.
"Mirsad al-Ibad" was translated into English under the title of "The Path of God's Bondsmen: From Origin to Return" by Hamid Algar in 2003.
The book deals with the origins of the various realms and orders of creation, prophethood and the different dimensions of religion, ritual practices, mores, and institutions of Sufism, the destinations that await different classes of men in the hereafter, and the fashion in which different professions and trades may come to yield spiritual benefit and heavenly reward.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
Much like the quote from Robert Frost's famous poem, The Road Less Traveled, the students in sixth grade must also decide which path to travel on this year. As junior high students, your children will be faced with many challenges and difficult decisions. While the road less traveled can be foreboding and ominous at times, the worn path is not always the best option. If we can provide our students with the guidance and support needed to make these decisions, then hopefully they will have the courage to take that road less traveled and pave a path for their future.
If at any time you have a concern or merely want to touch base, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can call the school and leave a message or you can send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once again, I look forward to a challenging, yet fun and interesting, school year!!!

|The last three months of Shakyamuni's life are discussed in detail in the Pali text called the Mahaparinibbana Sutta ("Discourse on the [Buddha Shakyamuni's] Great Parinirvana"). According to the historical account, Shakyamuni had his last meal at the home of a lay follower named Chunda, and it seems that he became sick afterwards. He traveled to Kushinagara (with his attendant and cousin, Ananda) and calmly lay down between twin sala trees. He expounded his last teaching to his disciples, asked them if there were any remaining questions, guided them as to how they should continue, and then passed into what is called parinirvana – final or complete nirvana – a term indicating that Shakyamuni had transcended the physical body as well as the cycle of transmigration (death and rebirth). In essence, he had gone into a form of nirvana unencumbered by the human body.

If the Devils win all 15 of their remaining games they are guaranteed a playoff spot. This is life in a vacuum and based on the fact that Winnipeg/Carolina could, at most, finish with 66 points, while New Jersey could finish with 67 by finishing 15-0-0 over the rest of the season. That's not going to happen, but it's certainly interesting to look at what the Devils need to do to secure their playoff spot.
Vs Florida: Any combination of 8 wins by New Jersey/losses by Florida will ensure that the Devils will finish ahead of the Cats in the standings. This is an interesting juxtaposition from last season when they won their division and were awarded home ice in the first round of the playoffs. The likelihood here is that Florida will lose 8 of their remaining 14 games anyways, so we can safely say the Devils will finish in at least 14th place. Good start.
Vs Tampa Bay: The magic number to eliminate the Bolts is 11.5. Tampa has played just below .500 all season and is likely going to be movers at the deadline. I would expect them to drop 8 of their remaining 15, at least, so three wins and an OT loss will secure 13th place for New Jersey. This is pretty much a lock.
Vs Philadelphia & Buffalo: Both of these major underachievers can cap out at 60 points if they miraculous win all their remaining games. That means any combination of 12 wins by the Devils/losses by Philly/Buffalo would suffice. If the Devils finish 7-7-1 then the Flyers and Sabres would need to finish with less than 5 losses each, meaning well over a .600 winning percentage. This is something neither team would be even remotely capable of at this time. Consider 11th place all but ensured, so long as the Devils can finish at or above .500%.
Vs Washington: The Capitals also have 15 games left and could top out at 61 points. Similar to the Flyers/Sabres, they would need to win 10 of 15 if the Devils finish at .500. While Washington has certainly improved lately, and I wouldn't count them out for winning 10 of 15, the likelihood is very low. Not to mention if the Devils can muster a 9-6-0 finish (.600 Winning Percentage) then Washington needs to finish 12-3-0 to pass them. I don't want to count the Capitals out of the playoffs, but they're probably not catching up to the Devils. 10th place seems safe.
Vs New York/B: The Islanders are a bit of a conundrum. New Jersey has very little leeway to keep pace with the Islanders who are only two games behind the Devils in the standings, with 15 games left to play apiece. The Islanders are a .500 team this season, which is a vast improvement over past seasons. The Devils would do well to play at that .600 level (9-6-0) in order to stay ahead of the young Islanders squad who could theoretically make a push for the final spot in the East. Consider 9th place a lock so long as the Devils can take 18 of their 30 remaining points (8-5-2 finish perhaps?).
Vs Carolina/Winnipeg: One of these teams is going to win the Southeast Division. The other team is likely going to miss the playoffs. These are basically are pace-setter teams. Whichever of these two teams struggles more, is setting our goal, assuming they're still playing better than the Islanders. Carolina is just over .500 this season, so they'll likely be losing their race with Winnipeg. If Carolina gets to 50 points then the Devils need to get to 51, and that means playing at a .500 level, or safely at that .600 level.
The Eastern Conference playoff cutoff is likely not going to hit 56 points as John predicted earlier this season. The Devils and Rangers are neck-and-neck right now for the bottom two spots in the conference playoffs, just behind Toronto in terms of best possible finish. The absolute minimum goal for New Jersey should be to pick up 18 of the 30 points available to them as the season comes to a close. Also, of critical importance will be the games in the final week against the Rangers, as they could very likely determine who draws the Penguins/Bruins and who draws Winnipeg. We haven't played great against the 'Peg this season, but boy do I know who I'd rather play in the opening round of the playoffs.
Nine wins. 52 points. That is likely the bar the Devils will need to get to if they want to play for Lord Stanley's Cup this season.

It happened last Halloween. Ray had driven more than 90 minutes upstate into the boonies for the costume party. He'd heard there would be a lot of action at this, the biggest bar in the small town, including swinger wives and some young hippie chicks who worked on organic farms in the area and dug orgasms for a natural high. There was nothing else to do but drink and fuck when the landscape was mostly farms and graveyards.
He finished his third beer, blearily scanning the scene for a potential fuck, alone and in a sexy costume, but so far, nothing. He flipped his eye patch up for a better look. The thin elastic snapped and broke. He shrugged, removed the pirate hat and decided that looking "poetic" in his puffy white shirt would be enough. Instead of a "pirate of the Caribbean," he could say he was John Milton, looking for paradise lost between a woman's legs.
The hired band came back from their break, and the lead singer, bearded and dressed in black, grunted, "No more Black Sabbath requests, okay? Here's an original about the owner of a bar in Hawley who went nuts and killed his wife and himself. His final destination: the ground!" Ominous riffs rang out, the drums kicked like gunshots, and Ray could only think he was dying . . . to get laid.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Toney Douglas shook off a poor shooting night and scored eight of his game-high 21 points in the final 5:09 as cold-shooting Florida State rallied for a 62-58 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night.Douglas, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading scorer in league games, put the Seminoles ahead to stay at 48-46 with a floating jumper just inside the free-throw lane with 5:09 left. Florida State (17-5, 4-3) hit seven of eight free throws, four by Uche Echefu, in the final 41.5 seconds to stave off the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech (10-11, 1-7) was led by Zachery Peacock's 16 points, while Gani Lawal came up with his 14th double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets. Florida State shot just 30.9 percent and Georgia Tech was just a notch better at 34.4 percent. Both teams were also cold from long range with the Seminoles making 4 of 23 and Tech hitting 2 of 15. Douglas, who has scored more than 20 points in his last six ACC games and averaged 25 points a game in that span, hit two jumpers and four free throws to key the stretch run. Georgia Tech led 31-25 at the half despite shooting just 36.4 percent in the opening frame and hitting only one 3-point shot. Florida State, which has suffered from long offensive droughts several times this season, hit another midway through the first half - scoring only 12 points in the final 10:47.

The community continues to grieve the loss of a sailor from Truckee.
25-year old Petty Officer, Third Class Brian Collins was one of five killed after a helicopter crash off the Virginia beach coast back on January 8th.
On Wednesday, his remains were flown home to his family at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Dozens of people from the Blue Star Mothers to the Patriot Guard were there to welcome Brian's family who certainly appreciated their presence.
"It felt good to have that kind of support," said Hollee Collins, Brian's mother. "People from Truckee drove down, and to have the Patriot Guard here was great. This is a very, very difficult time for us, and any support we can get is welcomed."
You may remember, Petty Officer, Third Class Collins was a crewman on the minesweeper helicopter (MH-53E Sea Dragon) that crashed on the 8th. He passed away at a Virginia hospital after being rescued at the crash site.
On Wednesday, people came from all over to pay their respects for the fallen soldier. His ashes were flown in from an American Airlines flight, and his family was given a flag ceremony. Then, officials putting on the ceremony told us the ashes were taken in a hearse back to Truckee ahead of Collins' Celebration of Life this Saturday. It starts at 12 p.m. at Truckee High School (11725 Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA, 96161). Anyone can come to honor him.
Collins served in the U.S. Navy for a little more than two years, and before that, he graduated from Truckee High School in 2007.
His sister, Danielle Helm, told us the loss was a big blow to the Truckee community.
"He was the best brother you could ever ask for," she said. "He was a good man. He cared about everyone. He would do anything at any time for anyone and all efforts to make everyone smile and laugh."

LOGANSPORT — League of Women Voters Cass County, who volunteered to be media watchers for the Pharos-Tribune for the election, have been observing vote centers since polls opened last Thursday.
The league monitored vote centers Thursday, Friday and Saturday, by filling out a questionnaire and will continue through Tuesday evening.
Janet Ingram, co-president of the local league, said members have watched polls for years, but they started the questionnaire four years ago. League members have volunteered to spend two hours throughout the day at vote centers, where they observe and complete the questionnaire.
The questionnaires look at instances of voters lacking identification, voting machine malfunctions and voter's name not appearing in the poll book. Ingram said they are looking into procedures, not tabulation.
"Because Cass County is one of three counties to have vote centers first, it's important to monitor the election process and see what's going on," Ingram said. "It's interesting for different members to see how the voting centers operate and with the computer system, things go very smoothly."
Cass, Tippecanoe and Wayne counties took part in a three-year pilot program to study vote centers. Lawmakers have since made vote centers an option for all Indiana Counties.
Barb Reed, a member of the League of Women Voters, said the voting machines worked well and while she was observing the Cass County 4-H Fairgrounds, Howard County Clerk Kim Wilson came to visit the vote center. Reed said Wilson and those she brought with her were impressed with the vote center.
Carolyn Cassidy, a member of the League of Women Voters, spent time observing the Logansport Mall vote center.
Cassidy said she noticed older residents needing help because they haven't voted recently and she noticed several first-time voters. Cassidy said, for the most part, everyone seemed excited to vote. She said she talked to an 80-year-old woman who had voted in every election.
Cassidy said voter identification hasn't been an issue, but there have been a few people who haven't been registered.
Most voters who come to vote are registered, but one registered late and two came without being registered, Cassidy said.
Myra Vanecek, a member of the League of Women Voters, agreed there weren't issues with identification, but she said a couple of people didn't bring their blue registration cards.
Reed said one person forgot their registration card on Thursday and offered to go back home and get it, but was able to fill out a form at the vote center.
Vanecek observed the Cass County Senior Center and said the crowd of voters was steady. She predicted half of registered would vote early and the others would vote on Election Day.
"I thought it went smoothly," Vanecek said. "There seem to be more people voting at the senior center than before."
Reed agreed with Vanecek.
"Poll workers know what they are doing and helped explain the process to voters," Reed said. "People have to get used to the machines not having a touch screen, but once they are instructed and reminded, they are fine."
Reed was at the fairgrounds and said an excited, first-time voter came with his grandparents to vote.
Ingram said she observed the Royal Center Town Hall on Thursday.
"The workers were helpful and they were steady all day," Ingram said.
Cassidy said there were a few people that complained about the machines, but like Ingram and Reed said, there were workers to help out.
"So many people have said they love the voting centers," Cassidy said. "It's cost effective and I think people want to vote because this election is going to be close and they want their vote to count."

Ravaged by injury and callups, Texas keeps winning. Coaches Desjardins and Lidster are working on another impressive season in Cedar Park.
The Stars are on a five game streak but have a tenuous defensive situation. Scoring better than three goals a game, maybe that's not as much a concern, but you can't always score in bunches.
With both of their tenders healthy, one of Texas' top anticipated strengths for the season is re-solidified. Is Texas ready for a breakout?
After demotion to Idaho Austin Smith posted on his Twitter account that he's headed to Pori, Finland of SM-liiga.
A blistering seven-point week puts Colton Sceviour at the top of the league in goals and points as the Stars break a four-game road losing streak and look to return home this weekend.
The Texas Stars follow Valeri Nichushkin and never want to give the puck away.
Things are looking up as the roster is getting healthier, rookies are starting to contribute more consistently and veterans are balancing out the roster well.
Texas allowed fifteen goals in four games this week. That is not a recipe for success.
Twelve goals in two games is good, but holding onto leads and discipline look to be problems for this Texas Stars club in the early going after a near miss this weekend.
Another Dallas-contracted goalie goes down for Texas, perhaps for a while, and puts the team in a quandary in the crease.

The China Smartphone Market Hiccups as Growth Streak Ends with First Sequential Decline in 2013 Q4
Singapore and Hong Kong, February 13, 2014 – After 9 consecutive quarters of explosive growth, which propelled China into the top smartphone market in the world, the China smartphone market experience its first slowdown in 2013 Q4.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Asia/Pacific Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, shipped 90.8 million units compared to 94.8 million in 2013 Q3, declining by 4.3% quarter on quarter (see Figure 1). Several factors drove this stumble – for one, China Mobile's 4G TD-LTE network went live on December 18, translating into supplies of 4G handsets not able to reach the market fully until 2014 Q1. The increasing popularity of phablets and channel inventory also played a role, whereby operators cut phone subsidies on phones with smaller screens, triggering distribution channels looking to clear out those stocks.
"The world has increasingly looked to China as the powerhouse to propel the world's smartphone growth and this is the first hiccup we've seen in an otherwise stellar growth path," says Melissa Chau, Senior Research Manager with IDC Asia/Pacific's Client Devices team.
"There will certainly be future drivers to unlock further smartphone growth in China, as Apple demonstrated with its China Mobile tie-up in January, and the massive device migration to come of phones only supporting 2G and 3G networks to devices supporting 4G networks. However, we are now starting to see a market that is becoming less about capturing the low-hanging fruit of first time smartphone users and moving into the more laborious process of convincing existing users why they should upgrade to this year's model"
Looking ahead at the prospects for the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region, with mature Asia/Pacific markets like already having hit market saturation and China growth facing more moderate increases, two trends will become more prominent.

Manuel Pardo Jr., former South Florida police officer, scheduled for execution
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott has signed a death warrant for a man convicted of nine murders.
Manuel Pardo Jr. is scheduled to die by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Raiford at 6 p.m. Dec. 11.
Pardo, 56, faces the death penalty for nine execution-style murders in 1986. When police arrested him, they found a collection of Nazi memorabilia in his apartment.
Pardo, a former Sweetwater police officer, confessed to the killings, but said his victims were drug dealers who "have no right to live."
Pardo was convicted of all nine murders in 1988 and sentenced to death.

Best of luck, kiddo!!!
Thank you!
As many of you know, I am departing for the hallowed lecture halls of St Andrews this week (t-minus 4 days to be exact). As many of you may also know, I made a similar pilgrimage last year that ended in badbrains, seizures, and medical leave. We are hoping to prevent such an epic farce of executive function and dopamine fluctuation this time. Since the discharge paperwork declares me 60% disabled (read: unable to live independently without assistance), academic accommodations are in order. Just have to keep Circadian rhythm sorted and take epilepsy meds. Classes commence soon-ish, and this must be sussed out beforehand.
Biology, geology, Russian, and Gaelic, with intermittent trips to the gym and mixed martial arts training. I shall comport myself accordingly—with vim and vigour! (L o l.) Like a good golden retriever who intends to one day conduct herself as a Fully Functional Adult. Congratulations, your protoplasmic blob has evolved into something passing as human (with muscle definition). Time should be divided between my flat, the library, the gym, this one lunch place that served really good soup and sold Scottish chotchkies, and the science campus for lectures and labs. Hopefully I'll have enough friends for some social excursions, at least when the sci-fi society meets/ceilidhs happen/the MMA club has sparring sessions. Optimistically there will also be time for music and KBI development/OSotM series stuff. Um. The point of all this is that I really really really won't be on as much—
of course I'll pop round every now and again to answer messages, discuss the minutiae of cult media, reset the queue, keep house, etc. However, I WILL BE RELOCATING TO A NEW BLOG. Message me for the URL if I don't send it to you automatically, or, you know, just like the post.
1:57 minutes into this collection of puirts, that's where you'll find the kittens on spears over a soldier's open fire.
Gaelic, because you're worth it.

Lissie - Go Your Own Way (cover)
This is probably my favorite (well, second favorite) Fleetwood Mac cover, which is saying something because this is my favorite FM song. Lissie has an amazing voice, and even though she didn't change the song that much, I love all the little changes. It's sweet, but it still has the same heart and grittiness as the original.
In the current climate, the extreme right wing of the party is targeting anyone who doesn't meet its strict criteria. Its new and narrow litmus test for party membership doesn't allow compromise.
Thank you for that editorial, sir. Your desire to weaken government safety nets and strengthen an already abundantly funded military makes me sad, as does your worship of Reaganism, but you could be worse and I still like your films.

Khelo joins the Circle
KELVIN 'Khelo' Dixon, winner of the 2008 Tastee Talent Trail Grand Finals, is the new lead vocalist for veteran reggae band Inner Circle.
He officially joined the group on May 19 and will go on the road with them, starting early July in Italy.
In Europe, they will also perform in Austria and the Netherlands. They are scheduled to perform in St Barths on August 17, and New York City on August 19.
Khelo recently released the song Do-4-U, and plans to film a supporting music video on his return from Europe.
Based in Miami, the Grammy-winning Inner Circle are one of reggae's stalwart bands.
the band was formed in Kingston in the late 1960s with the Lewis brothers, Ian and Roger, at the helm. the early Inner Circle also included guitarist Stephen 'Cat' Coore and keyboardist Michael 'Ibo' Cooper, who later formed Third World.
Inner Circle enjoyed tremendous success in the mid-1970s with the charismatic lead singer Jacob Miller.
The band relocated to Miami after Miller died in an auto accident in 1980.
They made a remarkable comeback in the 1990s with the songs Bad Boys and Sweat, taken from the album Bad Boys which won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.

The others and I watched in silence as we tried to figure out what was going on. Mrs. Smith came on the speaker and told everyone to go to homeroom and stay there until told otherwise. Leaving the classroom, I looked around, some of the teachers were crying and even some of the students. Even when we went to lunch, no one ate our packed lunches. Instead, we sat in front of the 4 t.v.s spread throughout the lunch.
Still this day I remember what I was doing, where I was, who said what, and the devastating looks on everyones faces when we saw 'our' country under attack.

The Yellow Jackets had six draftees.
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
The Yellow Jackets rallied to beat the top-seeded team in Pool A by a final score of 6-3.
More bad news....
The Yellow Jackets lost a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning, losing by a final score of 7-2.
All it took was some luck and some outstanding pitching for the Jackets to take down the number one team in the country and college baseball's unchallenged poster boy.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (21-13, 8-7 ACC) will take on the Florida State Seminoles (26-6, 13-2 ACC) after two dominating performances this week.
After starting down 4-0, the Yellow Jackets (17-13, 6-7 ACC) stormed back to beat the Blue Devils (17-14, 7-6 ACC) by a final score of 7-4.
The Yellow Jackets (15-11, 5-5 ACC) fell Friday night to the Pitt Panthers (13-11, 5-5 ACC) 4-3 in extra innings, dropping Tech to 2-3 in extra inning games this season.
The Yellow Jackets lost a tough game to No. 13 UNC Tarheels in 11 innings.
Georgia Tech won this weekend's series against #22 Miami after sweeping the doubleheader on Saturday in a weekend of rallies.

Homer Bailey - #1 draft pick, fireballer, Texan. The next big stud pitcher...there's been a lot of talk here and elsewhere about Homer Bailey...mechanically flawed, limited usable pitches at the MLB level , head case, know it all boy with a 'tude...or is he a 23 old kid who needs some time and hard work to mature as a teammate, a player, a pitcher and a sports professional....
Lots of folks on the talk shows, in the newspapers and on the blogs want to trade Homer - get rid of him while he still has some value, a change of scenery could do him a world of good and the Reds could get a MLB serviceable player in return - right now. Lots of talk about how the Reds have screwed with Homer's delivery, the pitches that he is and is not allowed to throw or develop and that the Reds haven't developed many great pitchers recently so maybe they should stop with Homer before he's a total lost cause.Others view him as a head case who isn't coach-able, doesn't work well with his catchers and isn't interested in anything or anyone but Homer.
I too am frustrated with Homer and his last outing although not terrible was still pretty dissapointing. Yet when I think about his raw power - throwing 92 - 98 MPH and striking out 15 in one game at AAA and his occasional flashes of near greatness in his MLB starts over the past couple of seasons...I am not ready to give up on him. His stats are not that consistent or that good. All of his wins, losses, era, whip etc do not mean much when I look at this kid's raw throwing ability. I believe that Homer still has a tremendous upside and could well develop in a #1 or #2 starter for Major League Club. When ? Don't know..maybe he could blossom by the end of this year or sometime next year. When (I say when and not if) he does get it together some team is going to have a hell of a pitcher, His temper, arrogance and ridiculous self confidence will turn into a highly competitive advantage once he begins to mature, To give up on him or to trade him at this stage in his very young career is a very short sighted and poor business decision.There are a fair amount of MLB pitchers who were given up on by a team and then turned out to be pretty damn great...for example Edison Volquez and Aaron Harang come to mind. Doesn't mean Homer Bailey is the next Aaron Harang or Sandy Koufax or Bob Gibson...but then again he may be.
The question is HOW to go about developing this kid into a pitcher...How... because when the light comes on for Homer it will be the light of a 98 MPH fastball, about chest high and striking fear into some overmatched MLB hitter. Lets hope it is one of their hitters and not one of ours.

Monday win marks team's 30th of the season
Sudbury won the game 4-1 thanks to a two-goal and three-point performance from Nick Baptiste, the win clinching a playoff spot for the Pack.
Heading in, the Wolves were seeded second in the Eastern Conference while the Steelheads were in seventh, meaning if the playoffs began today, the two teams would meet in the first round.
The win came despite four regulars being out of the Wolves lineup: Craig Duininck, Jeff Corbett, Dominik Kahun and Nathan Pancel, all of whom are listed as day-to-day.
Despite clinching a playoff spot, Head Coach Paul Fixter was taking it all in stride, saying it would be more of a story if they didn't make the playoffs. But he was happy with the way his team won the game.
"It was efficient and tidy — it was a good win" Fixter said after the game. "With the injuries, I used everyone in different roles and I was proud of the effort, and in the end we persevered and we got the win."
Along with two goals from Nick Baptiste, the Wolves got goals from Radek Faksa and Danny Desrockers.
Desrochers was one of those players who got extra ice time due to the injuries and he responded by scoring his fifth goal of the season.
"It was a great win," he said. "We had a goal on the board before the game and we achieved it. We had to battle through all the injuries — it's adversity and we found a way."
The win was the Wolves' 30th of the season, and brings their record to 30-17-3-6. It also pushes their road record back over the .500 mark at 12-11-3-4.
Even though the team were 21 points ahead of the Steelheads in the standings, Fixter says they weren't taking the Steelheads for granted.
"I expect to win every game" said Fixter. "That said, there are no easy games in this league regardless of the standings. The kids are proud and they (Mississauga) had us on our heels. and they came at us pretty hard in the third period.
"You expect to win those types of games, but you have to keep teams below you in the standings and the only way to that is to beat them."
The Wolves host the Erie Otters on Friday before starting a home-and-home series with the Barrie Colts. The Pack plays in Barrie on Saturday night and heads back for a Sunday afternoon game at home.
- Wolves Scratches: Craig Nuininck (lower body), Jeff Corbett (upper body), Dominik Kahun (sick) and Nathan Pancel (lower body).
- The Steelheads outshot the Wolves 33-30, including by 15-4 in the third period.
- Sudbury was 0-1 on the power-play while Mississauga was was 0-3.
- The Wolves won the six-game season series with the Steelheads with a record of 4-0-1-1.

It's official: starting in April, Bullseye with Jesse Thorn will be distributed by National Public Radio! This is the culmination of months and months of meetings, negotiations and planning, and we're so, so proud to make it public today. (And so, so proud of the sweet illustration that we just made (above).)
We're excited to be joining forces with the big dogs in public radio, and excited that we'll no longer have to spend like half of every conversation at every cocktail party explaining the complicated square-rectangle relationship between "public radio" and "NPR." (From now on, we can just be all, "yup, I do a show on NPR." It's gonna be great.)
We'll be on the same team as our all-time favorites like Terry Gross and Brooke Gladstone, and our new jack favorites like Glynn Washington and Jad Abumrad. It's an ideal situation.
If you're a longstanding Bullseye listener, you've got nothing to worry about. The show will continue to be produced independently by MaximumFun.org, but now we'll also have the cachet and manpower of NPR helping us to bring it to public radio stations around the country. Our hope is that this partnership will mean a better show, better guests and a bigger station lineup.
This is the next chapter in a story that started at my college radio station when I was 19. Twelve years later, I think our show is the best it's ever been, and now we're in position to take advantage of that fact.
As a great American once said… haters don't be mad, 'cause it's all about progression… loiterers should be arrested.
Ad astra!

W. Kamau Bell wants to talk to you about race. And about urban inequality, and politics, and Spider Man too. He came to his own brand of sociopolitical comedy after working as a comic for years, eventually shaping his work into a one-man show in which he promised to "end racism in about an hour."
A lucky break with an audience member at one of those shows – Chris Rock, to be precise – landed Bell his own TV talk show, called Totally Biased. He joins us to talk about transitioning into the talk show world, the sweet spot of gentrification, and remaining true to his own comedic voice.
Totally Biased airs Thursday nights at 11pm on FX.

Singer-songwriter Eleni Mandell had one of those experiences as a kid that was a hallmark of experiencing music before the internet. She heard a song she liked, went out to the record store, and picked an album by the same artist. The problem? It sounded totally uncool, and not at all like the song she'd heard. It did, however, open her up to a whole new way of listening to music.
Eleni talks to us about the song that changed her life, Tom Waits' "Tom Traubert's Blues." Eleni grew up in Los Angeles loving both punk rockers X and folk rocker Bob Dylan, and her own music mixes airy vocals with 60s pop, country, and folk sounds.
Her newest album is I Can See the Future. She's currently touring Europe with Sylvie Lewis. You can see tour dates and more about her at EleniMandell.com

Mike Birbiglia knows his own story pretty well by now. After struggling as a stand up, he started working some personal details from his life into his comedy. Some of it was pretty standard, like wrapping his head around the idea of getting married to his longtime girlfriend. And some of it was less familiar stuff, like running out of a window while sleepwalking.
Birbiglia went on transform these thoughts into a one-man show, a book, and finally, a movie. And although talking about the subject matter was second nature, directing a movie about it was not. He joins us to discuss being a first-time director, the difficulty of delivering stand up in a casual, easy way, and why he considered long-lasting marriage to be a totally foreign concept.
Sleepwalk With Me is now available on Netflix Instant and on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Nick Kroll has a knack for taking humanity's very worst and turning it into comedy. You can see it in his portrayal of Ruxin, the overly-aggressive lawyer and fantasy football player of FX's The League, but it's even more apparent in his new Comedy Central series, Kroll Show.
Kroll Show features amazingly specific characters that have become familiar as artifacts of our reality-show, fame-gripped culture: self-indulgent trust fund party boys, vapid PR professionals, and a wannabe record producer who lives with his mom.
Kroll returns to Bullseye to discuss how he finds inspiration in people lacking self-awareness – and, on the other hand, the perils of being too self-aware.
Kroll Show airs Wednesdays at 10:30/9:30c on Comedy Central.

Comedian Billy Eichner roams the streets of New York with a camera crew, roping unsuspecting pedestrians into playing his game show, Billy on the Street. While Cash Cab paved the way for street-ambush game shows, Eichner's approach has a unique twist.
The correct answers are often subjective (as in the game "Dead or Boring") and his game show persona is hyper-energetic and over-the-top. He's ready to swoon with a contestant who shares his love of Meryl Streep, or yell and stalk angrily away from a contestant who doesn't.
Eichner tells us about his screaming encounters with Madonna, the influence of Pee-wee Herman on his on-screen persona, and the role that game show laws played in the development of his show. (It turns out that "game show compliance lawyer" is a real job.)
Episodes of Funny or Die's Billy on the Street are available online and air Fridays at 10/9c on FUSEtv.

Maybe you've seen the cult film The Big Lebowski. Maybe you've seen it more than once. The movie lends itself to repeat viewings: it's chock-full of amazing and delirious visuals and wickedly funny and quotable dialogue. But what kind of wisdom can one gain from The Dude, the film's chilled-out slacker hero who's trying simply to "abide"? Maybe the key to living a more Zen life?
The Dude himself, Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges, and the renowned buddhist teacher and social activist Roshi Bernie Glassman join us to talk about following The Dude's example, loving, living life and some of the other philosophical riffing from their new book, The Dude and the Zen Master.

Mike Wiebe, vocalist for the punk band The Riverboat Gamblers, reveals the song that changed his life: The Dictators' "Faster and Louder", from 1978's Bloodbrothers. The song showed Wiebe that goofiness and edge weren't mutually exclusive, and inspired the Gamblers' beginnings.
The Riverboat Gamblers have honed their brand of melodic punk rock over the past fifteen years. Last year saw the release of their sixth full-length album, The Wolf You Feed. The band kicks off a European tour this spring.

H. Jon Benjamin is a writer, comedian and a prolific voice actor, but he's not exactly the man of a million voices. In fact, he's really the man of one voice, which depending on the setting could be the shiftless son on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, the misanthropic dad of Fox's Bob's Burgers, or a self-involved secret agent on FX's Archer. Benjamin has appeared in his own physical form on shows like Parks and Recreation, and in 2011 created and starred in the Comedy Central series Jon Benjamin Has a Van.
Benjamin talks to us about and how his career in comedy and voice acting came together, the humble beginnings of the beloved animated series Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, and the perks inherent in voicing the super-spy and super-jerk Sterling Archer.

When Benedict Cumberbatch spoke to us last year, the interview centered on his portrayal of one of the most well-represented heroes in literature -- Sherlock Holmes. Jesse started off their discussion with talk of a more sinister role, however -- Cumberbatch's upcoming portrayal of the Star Trek villain John Harrison. With the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness so far away from the interview's original air date, that part of their chat didn't make the cut. Now that the film's release is a matter of months away, however, it seems a fitting time to revisit it.
Cumberbatch shares his appreciation for the mystery surrounding the new Star Trek film, deconstructs the challenges inherent in bringing a fresh perspective to his interpretation of the legendary detective for the BBC series Sherlock, and details how he emerged from a tremendous trauma with a renewed dedication to living life fully.
Both season one and season two of BBC's Sherlock are available now. You can also stream them online via Netflix and Amazon Instant.

Celebrated director Errol Morris's acclaim is well-earned -- his documentary films are all masterfully executed and extraordinarily compelling. Some of his films, such as The Thin Blue Line
(which ultimately helped secure an innocent man's freedom from prison) drive at an objective truth, while others are more concerned with the unique truths of individuals' experiences.
Errol Morris joined us in 2011 to talk about his film making process, celebrating reality versus fiction, and the enduring popularity of his Miller High Life commercials. Morris's most recent film, Tabloid, and most recent book, A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald are available in stores now.

Aimee Mann rose to prominence in the 80s with the success of her new wave band 'Til Tuesday's single, "Voices Carry," but she found the limelight uncomfortable. Tired of contending with record companies' attempts to pigeonhole her and her work, Aimee struck out on her own. She joins us this week to discuss that transition from frontwoman to solo artist, the stresses of fame, and coping with uncertainty at a time in her life when she thought she would have had everything figured out.
Aimee's new album, Charmer, is available now.

Seth Godin is best known as a marketing guru, but he brings far more compassion and genuine insight to his work than the title might lead you to expect. And his observations aren't just valuable for CEOs. He makes his work for content creators operating on every scale. He joins us this week to delve into the "assets that matter" -- the qualities and values critical to creating great, meaningful work.
Seth Godin's new books are V Is for Vulnerable: Life Outside the Comfort Zone, The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly?, and Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck?.

Trickery and deception are featured prominently in some of Orson Welles's finest works, so it is fitting that the existence of an objective truth and its relative importance is most thoroughly explored in Welles's final major film, F for Fake. Part documentary, part film essay, F for Fake features tricks and truths layered atop each other, creating a mesmerizing narrative.

Almost seven years ago, Mike Arnold, then of PRI, called me and asked me a question: "If PRI were interested in distributing your show, would you be interested in having PRI distribute it?" It was a dream come true, and I value immensely the hard work Public Radio International has done sharing our show with stations, and the kind people who work there who've become my friends.
That's why it was so immensely hard to say goodbye.
I've decided that starting this spring, Bullseye will have a new distributor. We'll announce the specific details soon, but for the time being, I want to emphasize that the only effects for listeners and stations will be positive. Our production and distribution won't be interrupted, and the show will only get better. This is a difficult step, but it is also a step forward.
For the time being, I just want to thank all of the kind people at PRI who've been wonderful partners over the years, particularly those who've worked with me directly, like Mike, Mark Kausch and Heidi Schultz. It's been an honor to be associated with PRI, and with wonderful shows like This American Life, Studio 360, To The Best of Our Knowledge and others. Thank you.
Bullseye fans: the future is bright. I'm excited.

John Roderick and Jonathan Coulton each carved his own warm, authentic, relatable space in the indie rock scene, and their sounds and aesthetics are complementary enough to make a collaboration welcome and exciting. That the collaboration comes in the form of a Christmas album is unexpected, but the end result, One Christmas at a Time, is a fun and charming exploration of familiar holiday themes -- from coping with drunk uncles to the one ultimate childhood gift. Roderick and Coulton join us this week to discuss their first meeting, the challenge inherent in capturing the feelings and emotions of the holiday season while maintaining secular points of view, and why celebrating Christmas in Los Angeles is contemptible.

Popular Christmas music can be pretty hit or miss, and a relatively small catalog of options combined with seasonal overexposure to the genre can make the hits seem few and far between. One Christmas pop song that never disappoints Jesse: Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas".

HAMPTON — In 2007, the city and private developers had grand plans for Phoebus: A $1.3 million seafood market, H-shaped pier and floating barges just north of the Mellen Street bridge.
Those plans have evaporated, but the city is still keeping its eye on those Water Street parcels.
The city hired Wolf Contractors, of Newport News, to remove the concrete block and debris from the water's edge and to install a "living shoreline." The project is expected to prevent further erosion, filter storm water as it enters Mill Creek and provide a better habitat for wildlife.

p.s. I hate mornings too. And i way prefer aussie winter to aussie summer, but will always take a canadian summer over a canadian winter. Oh, and animal sanctuary is what converted me to vegetarianism as well. When it was over, i was like, "done, i guess i'm a vegetarian now..."

Hey Miss M, Happy Birthday! I loved this post. So lovely to read about you. You're so interesting!
Have you looked much into raw food diets? They have lots of delicious recipes for nut cheeses and other dairy substitutes. However, I think a little dairy, from a well loved cow is good for most people.

Hope you had a great birthday Meagan - looks like a great spot to spend it! I also celebrate yet another year today (up to 34 now!) and embrace all that comes with being a cancerian. I spent today at home with my 3r old who has tonsilitis - not the best day ever - but in amongst the cuddles and nose wipes, did manage to make home made ketchup, and turned yogurt into cream cheese and whey for the first time...which for me is pretty satisfying stuff. Hope your day made you smile...

Happy Birthday!! :-)
I'd love a miracle ingredient for giving up milk LOL. I've settled for a combo of rice milk & coconut milk for morning smoothies.
I've also got a great cookbook at the moment called everything vegan and it talks about making cheese alternatives from nuts and in some cases soy & nuts (which doesnt work for us as we are soy free as well).
I dont miss dairy so much now (I've been full on vegan for 4 months) but I did miss milk at the start.

As a thank you for leading me to tomorrow morning's breakfast (raw buckwheat breakfast porridge from the Oh She Glows blog -- yum!), here's a link to one of my favorite vegan recipe sources: www.theppk.com, or Isa Chandra's Post Punk Kitchen (of Vegan with a Vengence fame). I think you'll find some inspiration to curtail at least some of your dairy consumption -- someone mentionned coconut milk, which is a great substitute for the soy I tend to rely on too heavily, and you'd be amazed at what you can do with nutritional yeast in the kitchen. Also, Isa has a great selection of gluten-free recipes, which has become key for us since finding out my three-year-old is not only allergic to dairy products but also to gluten (yeah, she wasn't keeping me up all night *just* to nurse...).
Anyway, happy birthday from a fellow Canadian, and thanks again for the inspiration!

A very happy year ahead to you sweet cancerian Meagan. Peonies are my favourite too.

I hope your sankalpa comes true for you this year. Love, Katie xxx

A Charlottesville woman who lost her son to cancer wants to brighten the holiday season for families who have children in the hospital.
Fourteen businesses in Scottsville, Albemarle County, Charlottesville and Richmond are collecting toys for "Mason's Toy Box." Kelley Kassay says the program keeps her son Mason's memory alive.
"So many people did for us when we were going through our journey that I want to give back to the other children because I know how it is to be in that situation," Kassay said. "And I want to be able to at least brighten their day or put a smile on their day."
The toys will be delivered to families at the University of Virginia Medical Center and hospitals in Richmond on December 20. The drive is also collecting donations for gift catalogs that give parents a chance to pick something out for themselves as well.
James River Brewing Company in Scottsville is also having a benefit for "Mason's Toy Box" on Monday, December 3 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. featuring Charlottesville's Burnt Mill Band.

Hi guys
First of all, I'm not panicking here. But I came up with an idea (I'm probably not the first one to have this idea).
Let's say there would be a team willing to trade for Rey Maualuga. He is in a contract year and is not really making an argument for resigning him at the moment (trade deadline was moved to week 8, right? So there is another 7 weeks to evaluate). His trade value would probably be around 3rd to 4th round and we would have one less guy to resign to an expensive contract.
Would you trade him and make Burfict the starter (and, for example, resign Muckelroy as a backup)?
I honestly think this is a realistic scenario if Rey doesn't step his game up until the bye week. What do you guys think? Realistic or am I completely dreaming? ;)

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - It's that time of year again for your kids to go back to school. What's on your kids supply list this year? You might notice there's a laundry list of added items making you spend more than you bargained for. "It gets longer and longer. I mean this probably has 25 things on it," says parent, Grey Speed.
"Home finances are tight, school finances are definitely tight. So we do try to be careful to not overburden our families," says Michelle McCord, Frenship Assistant Superintendent.
About five years ago supply lists used to have crayons, markers, writing tablets, scissors and a few more items. Now families can look forward to buying items like headphones, cotton balls, zip block bags, baby wipes and a laundry list of heath items.
Grey Speed, a mother of seven says it's a nightmare shopping because school supply lists grow every year. Luckily, she is just getting what her sixth grader needs. "We go broke at the beginning of school."
Other parents have also noticed new items on their lists and say it really adds up. "It is overwhelming, but we just take our time so we can get the best bargains," says parent, Hishia Conner.
Stores are gearing up for back to school and they do have some good deals. But with growing lists parents are having to dig a little bit deeper in their wallets this year.
"Clothes, jeans, T-shirts, backpacks, things like that and school supplies as well. Colored pencils, notebooks, binders," says Conner.
And parents are not just buying the average pens and paper. They can expect to purchase dry erase markers, electronics and sanitary wipes. "We do have some different school supply items that you may not have seen in years past. It has to do with health concern that have come up in the last year with the H1N1," says McCord.
So how much does an average sixth grader cost getting the bare minimum of supplies? A shocking $134.19. "I think that's a lot, You think they just pencil and paper. Obviously it's a lot more. I didn't think we would spend that much," says Speed.
"It's the one time of the year teachers have the opportunity to ask kids to bring things to school. And I know it's hard for parents because they're doing new school clothes, and if you have more than one child, it does get expensive," says McCord.
However, parents can get a break on some school supplies starting Friday for tax free weekend. And better yet, parents can get help with free school supplies with the Stuff the Bus program sponsored by the South Plains Food Bank also starting Friday. To be eligible you will need a school supply voucher from your school.

This is language teaching methodology as modeled by Richards and Rogers (2001). From a language teaching perspective, Richards and Rogers (2001) identified three principles in explaining the concept of methodology. These are:
i. Approach
ii. Design
iii. Procedure
Approach, according to Richards and Rogers, refers to theories about the nature of language and language learning that serves as the source of practices and principles in language teaching. This means language teaching methodology is influenced by the particular view or theory on the nature of language itself. In order for an approach to lead to a method, they say, it is necessary to develop a design for an instructional system.
In view of this, they defined design as:
The level of method analysis in which we consider (a) what the objectives of the method are; (b) how language is selected and organized within the method, that is, the syllabus model the method incorporates; (c) the types of learning tasks and teaching activities the method advocates; (d) the roles of learners; (e) the roles of teachers; (f) the role of instructional materials. By this definition, design appears to be a framework that systematically connects learning objectives to organization of learning contents and the role of participants in learning situation.
Also, they see procedure as something that encompasses the actual moment-to-moment techniques, practices and behaviours that operate in teaching a language according to a particular method. They further say it is a level that describes how a method realizes its approach and design in classroom behaviour. To this end, it can be said that procedure applies to the real moment of activities in a language class.
Therefore, methodology in this perspective, can be summarised as a systematic way of delivering a language lesson using effective design of activities based on a linguistic theory.

it always amazes me how God works, through prayer. It shouldn't; because this is the Maker of the universe, in whom I place my total faith - it shouldn't surprise me that He is able to fulfill His promises to me...and yet, here we are.
last night, after a busy couple of days, I just sat down to read God's word & pray. the breath I took when I sat down there was a heavy, tired one; I knew before doing anything else, even before reading the Word, I needed to pray. After spending time sat down with the Lord just, conversing, sharing & laying out my heart; my burdens and weariness were lifted from me. It sounds so typical of a Christian to word it that way, but I truly felt lighter as I left all of those things at God's feet.
That's what He is here for, to make our burden easier.
Matthew 11:28 - "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden & I will give you rest."
John 10:10 - "...I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full".
Come to Jesus, rest in Him & allow Him to take your burden (your stress, worries, tiredness...) away. He didn't die on the cross so that we could have many verses to quote, or so that we would spend our days tired & stressed out.... He came, He lived, He died... so that we could live life to the fullest! Leave your burdens, leave your weariness in His worthy hands and see what He will do with them... He will remove them from you, He will (He DID) take them upon Himself and allow you to be free...
I'm so very thankful for my time in prayer last night, as it reminded me of how very strong & capable my Lord is. I'm so thankful for a time of rest with the King of the universe...
I wake up today feeling refreshed and ready for the week. Ready to be sensitive to God's calling me & to go where He wants me to go. Ready to live life to the full, with all last week's stresses in the rear view mirror, rather than piling up on my dashboard.
Chris Rice wrote:
"Weak & wounded sinner, lost and left to die; oh raise your head for Love is passing by.
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus & live...
now your burden's lifted and carried far away, His precious blood has washed away the stain...
so sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus & live."
It goes on to say that in every situation, come to Jesus... & I agree. Today, just come to Jesus for everything you need, rest, encouragement, love, forgiveness...come to Jesus!

At least that's what i'm hoping for. I've always liked the swordsmen of nintendo, they're not as sappy as those knight in shining armor fairytale books that little girls read, but they're twice as strong, cool, and heroic.
