The Forum section at the 2007 Berlinale will feature 9 films by Okamoto Kihachi, according to an announcement. The work, from the 1950s and '60s, will showcase a pioneer of Japanese cinema who is largely unknown internationally, according to the announcement. In the words of a press release:He was lastingly influenced by his experiences in World War II, like many others of his generation, and concern with violence and conflicts is a theme running through much of his cinematic oeuvre. Okamoto's stylistic spectrum thereby ranges from monumental commissioned works to idiosyncratic low-budget productions, from serious historical dramas through fa...Read More »

Program Goals
The Master of Music in Conducting degree is designed for the preparation of professional conductors, with options in choral, orchestral, and band/wind ensemble music.
The degree program provides students the opportunities to develop their conducting and rehearsal techniques, explore a large body of literature appropriate to the area of study, refine skills in music analysis and score preparation, and expand their knowledge in music theory and history.
Students are also encouraged to continue their studies in individual performance or composition.
Program Description
The curriculum includes individual instruction in conducting gesture, score preparation, and rehearsal technique. Significant conducting experiences with University ensembles are included, and students are assigned to at least one year of service as the assistant conductor of one or more ensembles.
The conducting degree requires a minimum of 36 credits of course work. At least half of these credits must be at the 500-level or above, and at least 30 credits must be taken at the University Park campus. A conducting recital, master's paper, and an oral examination are also required.
Knowledge of the history and theory of Western art music must be demonstrated by satisfactory completion of competency examinations. These examinations occur prior to the start of each semester. Unsatisfactory performance on the competency examinations may result in the necessity for enrollment in remedial course work without credit toward the degree.
Degree candidates receive extensive podium time and, therefore, enrollment is limited to ensure that all candidates can receive this important experience. Before beginning the application process, please contact the appropriate faculty member to ensure that applications for new students are being accepted.
The 36-credit requirement is as follows:
|Choral conducting
|Studies in choral literature
|Integrative conducting seminar
|Music theory, music history, or music literature in an area other than the chosen option
|Introduction to music reference and research materials
|Graduate degree performance
|Master's Paper
In addition, choral conducting students must demonstrate competency in vocal pedagogy and in English, German, French, Italian, and Latin diction. Competency may either be determined by completion of diction and vocal pedagogy courses taken during the undergraduate degree (with a grade of B or better), or by the successful completion of placement tests. Students failing to meet minimum competencies in one or more parts of these tests must either enroll in appropriate courses or complete special projects administered in the choral conducting and literature classes.
Admission Requirements
A candidate applying for admission to the master's program in choral conducting should have completed a recognized degree in music with at least a 2.8 junior-senior grade-point average. Transcripts should include the following:
- 12-16 credits in music theory and analysis
- 6-9 credits in music history
- Courses in conducting, counterpoint, form and analysis, and orchestration
Candidates who are deficient in any area above may be considered for admission, but should be prepared to make up the deficiency without credit toward the degree if accepted.

You can't have Uggs and BJ both on the bench,. This is how you patch the braves. Cut UGGS and do it now.
We currently have one of the weakest benches in MLB. Bench BJ- Justin yea its your bro but this is about winning time to show you are a team player. Move Gattis to left field, J-Up to right,J-Hey to center. This all hindges on fixing J-ups ear lets all hold our breath its not vertigo or somthing worse. Gattis is a monster hitter even if his skills were better behind the plate I want his bat in the lineup every game.Bring up Benacourt our pitching staff is better the 1st day he starts, Will he hit maybe, maybe not, Alll works out in the end as he will save us many runs. Trade Laird he hates sitting., cut or trade Schafer, with BJ on the bench no need for 2 center fielder who can't hit. Trade it must be done and yes we will have to trade at least 2 top prospects. What do we get in return (1) starting pitcher (2) pinch hitter's who can actully hit.
Our bench is now BJ, Pena, Doumit, and 2 new players aquired via trade, please spare me with the triple AAA call ups we have tried last few years as bench players. we need real hitters on the bench.I To rap it up moving BJ to the bench is a bandaid but the braves are not going to cut Uggs and BJ and please stop with the just trade them stuff, No one wants them. Bringing up Benacourt is the key to how this will all work hit him 8th and don't worry about his hitting what ever he gives us is a plus. If J- Up goes down with what ever is going on with him we need a new right/center fielder and that may be a death blow. Now thats alot I know we deal with Johnson sloppy D. at 3rd and LaStalla no range at 2nd and Gattis in left. You can't fix this team at mid-season because it was constucted so poorly. What say ye Bravo nation?

Welcome to numbness… or should I say numbnuts.
Let me tell you a story about this past weekend:
It was aquathlon nationals this past weekend in Longmont and Longwood, CO. There are not that many people there. The sport is still pretty young and so let's be honest as long as you don't drown or quit/die you will qualify….
Funny how the bar set at - don't die- is kind of hard. Waaahhhhhhh!
So Friday we fly in and mom and I go pick up our packet. We get to the table and surprise, you are not swimming in the reservoir you are supposed to. Because of all the rain, the e-coli levels are 5 times the levels safe to swim in. Yeah I would like to not to land in the hospital from competing in this thing. So we were still going to run, but then we had to drive 50 miles south of denver to swim the 1 mile swim at another reservoir, bowles reservoir in Lakewood Colorado. It was definitely clean, and definitely COLD as freaking hell.
The run was eh, seemed like forever. I was horribly out of shape having not really run for a month. The week before I ran twice had to stop and couldn't really breathe. Thanks trial and burning the midnight oil work hours. You have made me a blobular runner. I ran the slowest 5K in my entire life, but nevermind. Also it was dry and at some point my exercise induced asthma kicked in. Wheee. great Can't breathe! After that, we drove down to Lakewood. Sat in traffic for a while and almost 2 hours later arrived at our swimming destination.
In Budapest, I only wore a tri-suit, no wetsuit in about 57-58 degree water. That was ass-cold, but nothing compared to this. And this time I had a wetsuit. This water temperature was bone chilling, you want to die, head freeze, can't feel your toes or hands cold.
So we get in have to do this loop which was in the shape of a trapezoid, so there are 2 diagonals and a long stretch at the top. The diagonals are brutal, because it's hard to go straight. There are winds and you feel as if you aren't really going anywhere. Well I couldn't breathe - as a result of a combo of residual asthma and panic. Great! Waved for help and hung onto the lady with a kayak [ they are there so no one drowns]. She calmed me down and said she would stay with me until I got out to the first buoy. I finally calmed the eff down, hanging out at dead last. I got into it and started to move. I shockingly passed 3 people in my wave. On the last turn on the last diagonal back, the winds picked up and you feel as if you are fighting against the earth. It was brutal, the waves were in your mouth, can't breathe, and people are coming up on you to pass and mow through you. Anyway despite my crazy beginning, I finished and vowed again not to do this again…
Yes I am insane, because every time I race this race… I tell myself I will never do this again and what the Hell are you thinking, dummy? Well I continue to do it and do alright. At least this time, I used body glide so my neck was not so messed up that people would have thought I was trying to kill myself with a rope. Win!
The silver lining, is that 1) I was finished 10th - only a minor detail that I only beat out 2 people, but heck I was not dead last; 2) I qualified for worlds- Boom!; 3) I saw cheyenne, WY - which is bizzaro land but awesome too; 4) I had the most awesome corned beef hash in wyoming. YAY eats!!!!

Why Organic Tomatoes Are Worth the Buy
Study shows organic tomatoes are healthier than conventional tomatoes
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides

Have you ever wondered if buying organic is really worth the extra money? When it comes to tomatoes, it may be worth it, according to a study by the University of Barcelona.
In a comparative study between organic and conventional tomatoes, the University of Barcelona discovered that antioxidant levels in the organic vegetable are significantly higher than their non-organic counterpart, reported the Daily News.
Scientists identified 34 unique phenolic compounds in Daniela tomatoes, which showed higher levels of antioxidants in the organically grown vegetable over the non-organic variety.
The study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry explained that plants grown without fertilizers and pesticides reacted to the environment by building their own defenses. The result meant higher levels of antioxidants, benefiting the tomato and the consumer.

- Top Ten: World derbies
Skysports.com draws up a 10-strong list of derbies in world football
Skysports.com draws up a 10-strong list of top derbies from across the globe ahead of Sunday's colossal clashes.
Manchester City and Manchester United go head-to-head at Eastlands, while Arsenal make the trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea - with both games live on Sky Sports 1 & HD1.
We look at some of the fiercest rivalries in football; from Scotland, to Argentina, to Egypt.
Celtic v Rangers
The Old Firm derby between Scotland's two most successful clubs dates back to 1888. The encounter is world famous for commitment and tension. The atmosphere when the duo contest at Ibrox Stadium or Celtic Park is rated as one of the most thumping. Violence has often surrounded the clashes as supporters let their emotions get the better of them in a game that is steeped in religion, politics and differing social attitudes. In 1980, around 9,000 fans fought an on-pitch battle in the aftermath of Celtic's 1-0 victory in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden. Gers currently edge the overall match-ups with more wins over their rivals, but the Hoops, who have won three straight SPL titles, will be eager to reduce that deficit when they next do battle in December.
AC Milan v Inter Milan
Derby della Madonnina (the Milan derby) sees Italian giants Inter Milan and AC Milan go head-to-head in a contest that always captures the imagination. The rivalry is fierce, the result everything to the supporters. The most infamous of meetings came in 2005 when the pair were drawn against each other in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final. With Inter trailing, tempers boiled over as the fans in black and blue rained objects down onto the pitch. Milan keeper Dida was struck by a flare and the match was soon abandoned. Of late, Inter have dominated Serie A, although their rivals relieved some of their pain with a 1-0 success in September; Ronaldinho the hero/villain that day.
Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal
Spurs and the Gunners have played out some truly memorable North London derbies. From 1971's double-clinching triumph for Arsenal to a truly epic final few moments this season as Tottenham Hotspur somehow clawed back a 4-4 draw at Emirates Stadium. Few players have made the switch from white to red and white. Sol Campbell's controversial transfer in 2001 was fraught with debate and even saw the defender receive death threats from enraged supporters. The 2005/06 campaign threw up an engaging finale as the two clubs battled it out for fourth place. The outcome went to the final day when Spurs, hit by food poisoning, lost to West Ham and Arsenal triumphed to finish two points above their rivals and deny them of a Champions League berth.
Manchester City v Manchester United
Blue meets red to leave those loyal to the sides in question decidedly purple-faced with passion during 90 minutes of all-out devotion to the badge. The first league meeting between the Lancashire pair took place in the 1894/95 season, and Sunday 30th November 2008 marks their 150th clash in all competitions. The Manchester derbies in the 1970s were often bad tempered affairs; on one occasion Red Devils legend George Best tackling and breaking Glyn Pardoe's leg. Then 2001 saw Roy Keane's infamous hack at Alf-Inge Haaland that resulted in the Norwegian calling a premature end to his playing career. United have enjoyed unrivalled glory over the years, although City recorded their own delight last term when they claimed victories in both derby matches, beating their rivals at Old Trafford for the first time since April 1974 in the process.
Boca Juniors v River Plate
Superclasico: the colossal encounter that sees two clubs from Buenos Aires battle for bragging rights until their next South America rendezvous. The match-up is world-renowned for its devoted capacity crowds that conjure an unforgettable atmosphere. Football fanatics travel far and wide to witness the meeting of Argentina's two biggest sides. Riots have been plentiful while police often have to battle against violence. 23rd June 1968 marked a grey day for the fixture as 71 fans died at Estadio Monumental when they were crushed at gate 12. The rivalry between the pair remained thick in the air after the tragedy as an investigation found nobody guilty despite several theories behind the happenings on that summer's day. Social class also plays a part in the history of his contest, with Boca Juniors said to be the club of Argentina's working class, in contrast with the supposedly upper-class support base of River Plate.
Liverpool v Everton
The Merseyside derby is a monster of an encounter that sees Liverpool and Everton fans run their fingers down a fresh fixture list hungry to discover the dates of their scheduled match-ups for the term ahead. The 'friendly derby' is blue v red, Goodison Park v Anfield - with Stanley Park acting as the border that separates two rivals. It is the longest currently running top-flight derby in England, having been at that level since 1962 when Liverpool were promoted to the First Division. The duo have played out countless epic matches, including Ian Rush's quartet of goals in a 5-0 triumph over the Toffees, Everton bringing an end to Liverpool's 29-game unbeaten run in 1988, and 1991's 4-4 goalfest in the FA Cup. This term, the Reds were triumphant on their opponents' soil as Fernando Torres netted a clinical double.
Roma v Lazio
The Derby della Capitale is more than just a game; it is a war of football. Twice a season Lazio and Roma lock horns in the league at their home, the Stadio Olimpico. This is a derby great. Battles often ensue between the Lazio ultras in Curva Nord and the Roma ultras in Curva Sud. Violence is usually prevalent. In 1979, Lazio fan Vincenzo Paparelli died after he was hit by a flare. Paparelli is remembered to this day and is a symbol of the Biancocelesti's passion for the derby. In 2004, the encounter was abandoned after rumours spread suggesting a child had been killed by the police. The aftermath saw stands set on fire, 13 arrests and over 170 injuries. Earlier this November, Roma claimed the Eternal City bragging rights after disposing of Lazio in a game that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
Galatasaray v Fenerbahce
Turkey's two most successful clubs engage in an enthralling and heart-thumping derby, with some fans regarding the result of the meeting more important than their final Super Lig standing. It is suggested Fenerbahce, situated on the Asian side of the Istanbul Strait, were primarily supported by the working class with Galatasaray followed by the affluent. Lately, though, it is said that Fener have received financial following, too. It is reported that in 1934 the first friendly match between the pair took place and was abandoned as riots broke out. An unforgettable incident in the clubs' histories centres around Graeme Souness' hotly debated decision to plant a large Galatasaray flag in the middle of the Fener pitch after his side, Galatasaray, had won the Turkish Cup final in 1996.
Al Ahly v Zamalek
The Cairo derby sees Africa's two most successful clubs lock horns in an almighty contest viewed by many. Al-Ahly and Zamalek were named as the top two African clubs of the 20th Century by Confederation of African Football. The duo - located in Greater Cairo - combat in a tense and closely-fought fixture. So heated are the meetings that a foreign referee is drafted in to officiate. In Egypt, 1966 is remembered for a different reason to that of the Three Lions after a controversial penalty sparked riots causing damages to Zamalek's main stadium and the burning of a factory near the ground.
Real Madrid v Barcelona
While technically not a local derby, Real Madrid v Barcelona is a match that encompasses a fascinating rivalry between two Spanish giants. El Clasico is one of the grandest match-ups in football. Barca and Real are torn by adversary regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, respectively. Furthermore, Francisco Franco's regime suppressed the Catalan ways, deepening the Blaugrana's friction with Franco's preferred side, Real. In the 1950s, the clubs battled off the field over the signing of Alfredo Di Stefano, who eventually joined Real. Luis Figo then caused outrage in 2000 when he left Barca for their foes; a move which led to the infamous throwing of a pig's head onto the pitch as fans vented their disgust.

Birmingham Vs Villa? Why would this be before any of the above teams? Birmingham are in the Championship. I've seen a better Derby with Dundee and Dundee UTD and thats bad lol.

James Belchem (Liverpool fan) says...
Well as great as these derbies are only two of them could be classed in the top 10 when it comes to fiercest, thats roma/lazio and river/boca. but instead of all these british ones, you need to be looking towards eastern europe where wars and deaths regular occur from football. Also if you are going to include barca - real, then what about Southampton - Portsmouth haha.

Spurs vs Arsenal got ahead of Sunderland vs Newcastle! Madness! I think that they have left the biggest derby out of the entire list!

You are joking? You include Arsenal v Spurs, but not the Tyne-Wear derby? Seriously? Arsenal-Spurs games are often dull with little atmosphere.

Justin Bryant (Manchester United fan) says...
Not a bad list, but too Euro-centric. Boca-River is obviously huge, but there are several other South American derbies that are way beyond the scale of, for instance, Spurs-Arsenal. Flamengo-Fluminense in Rio, Colo Colo-Universidad de Chile in Santiago, and two other huge derbies in Argentina: the Avellaneda Derby between Racing and Independiente, and the Rosario derby between Newell's Old Boys and and Rosario Central. You'll find way more passion and atmosphere at these games than at the Emirates, that's for sure.

TranscriptI think before I became the president of the university, I was very focused nationally on how to encourage not just women, but men and women to continue in careers in science. One of the things I was most concerned about as a working scientist was seeing too many young men and woman discouraged by the length of time it took to become a scientist; by the competitiveness that is inherent in seeking research funds in order to conduct science; and I was worried that this career path which was looking increasingly difficult was turning away the very best students who, after all, have lots and lots of options. So I spent a lot of time before I became president really working on that particular education issue. Since I have become president, I am really focused on making Princeton the very best place that it can be. That is my most important job and role as the president of Princeton. But I've also been interested in a number of national issues that affect higher education, like commencement addresses _________ was addressing concerns that I have about federal regulation of higher education today, which I think is problematic. And I hope we are able to figure out a way out of the mess that we're currently in.
The other major issue in higher education that I am concerned about is the financing research in science and engineering. If you go back 50 years, you will see that there was established after the Second World War kind of a social contract between the federal government and research universities where the government provided the resources to conduct the research, and the university provided the infrastructure and the labor force. What has been happening over the last 25 years is that social contract is beginning to erode. The percentage of total research dollars that the federal government now provides to the universities is declining as a percentage. And at some point the universities are gonna have to cry uncle and simply say that we cannot afford to fill in the gap that is left by the decline in federal dollars. And if you believe as I do that the economic vitality of the United States over the last half-century is directly related to the degree in which this country invested in research and development, then a decline in research is really not a good prognosis of the future health of the United States.

FENTON, Mo. (AP) A 24-year-old man is facing charges and recovering from a bullet wound to the leg after a home break-in near St. Louis.
Authorities say a 59-year-old Jefferson County resident was awakened at 2 a.m. Tuesday to find a burglar with a handgun in his home. The homeowner pulled out his own gun and fired two shots. The burglar ran away.
Authorities say Richard Bates showed up later at a hospital. He was treated for the leg injury then taken to jail and charged with burglary and two gun charges.
Bates is jailed on $75,000 bond and does not yet have a listed attorney.

Bob Smith will take the position of Emerson College's Director of Public Safety beginning July 9th. Smith currently works for the campus safety departments at Smith College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and previous to that, he worked for 26 years with the Massachusetts State Police Department.
Smith holds two master's degrees – one in public safety administration from Framingham State University, and one in criminal justice from Anna Maria College – as well as a bachelor's degree from Suffolk University. In addition, Smith has taken part in professional development programs through institutions such as Harvard University, Northwestern University, Boston University, and the FBI National Academy.
Following the sudden departure of George Noonan this past December, Deputy Chief Scott Borstein stepped in to fill the position temporarily while Christine Hughes, vice president and general counsel at Emerson, began the search for a replacement. Working with her in the search committee for a new director of public safety were associate professor in the Department of Communication Studies Michael Weiler, college conduct coordinator Michael Arno, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion program director Gloria Noronha-Peschau, and students Alexander Ates '13 and Rebecca Isenhart '14. President Pelton also provided input for the search, along with Dean of Students Ron Ludman and Associate Vice President of Government and Community Relations Peggy Ings.

Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
From Afghanistan to Libya; rethinking the role of the military
In a report this month calling for faster progress on a political settlement on Afghanistan, the influential UK parliamentary foreign affairs committee was unusually critical of the dominance of the military in setting Afghan policy.
"We conclude that there are grounds for concern over the relationship between the military and politicians. We further conclude that this relationship has, over a number of years, gone awry and needs to be re-calibrated … we believe that problems in Afghanistan highlight the need for a corresponding cultural shift within Whitehall to ensure that those charged with taking foreign policy decisions and providing vitally important political leadership are able to question and appraise military advice with appropriate vigour," it said.
During its enquiries, based on interviews with regional experts and officials, "we gained the impression that the sheer size and power of the U.S. military ensured that the U.S. military remained largely in control of U.S. Afghan policy," it added.
It also quoted former UK special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, as saying that conversations between the U.S. and British military "end up with things being pre-cooked between the U.S. and the UK militaries before they are subject to political approval back in London …"
Afghanistan: Petraeus, personalities and policy
Buried in the Washington Post story on Marc Grossman taking over as the new U.S. envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan are some interesting references to the possible departure of U.S. commander General David Petraeus.
"… virtually the entire U.S. civilian and military leadership in Afghanistan is expected to leave in the coming months, including Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and the embassy's other four most senior officials, Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the U.S.-led international coalition, and Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, who runs day-to-day military operations there," it says.
Pakistan:the unintended consequences of U.S. pressure
U.S. pressure on Pakistan has always led to deep resentment within the Pakistan Army, which has taken heavy casualties of its own fighting Pakistani Taliban militants on its side of the border with Afghanistan. But there are signs that this resentment is now spiralling in dangerously unpredictable ways.
The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency has denied it was responsible for revealing the name of a senior Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official in Pakistan, forcing him to flee the country after threats to his life. But the suspicion lingers that the ISI, which falls under the control of the Pakistan Army, is flexing its muscles in response to U.S. pressure.
from Tales from the Trail:
General Kayani steals the spotlight at Pakistani embassy party
Pakistan's foreign minister heads his country's delegation to Washington this week for high-level talks, but there was no mistaking who was the star at a reception at the Pakistani Embassy on Tuesday night: Army General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
Guests crowded around Kayani at the annual Pakistani National Day party at the embassy, posing for photos and jostling for the military leader's ear. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan, also drew those eager for photographic souvenirs of the occasion, but not such a feeding frenzy as that around Kayani.

OPERATION BABY RESCUE (3) by Beth Cornelison: Single mother Elise Norris is told that her baby died in childbirth. Soon after joining a grief support group, she receives an email telling her that her baby was stolen at birth. With the support of widower Jared Coleman, she uncovers a kidnapping scheme that is falsifying newborn deaths and arranging adoptions with unsuspecting parents. The characters are interesting and their situations dire, but the plot depends too heavily on coincidence to bring Jared and Elise together. Furthermore, the lack of questioning by the bereaved families at the time of their infants' deaths doesn't seem plausible.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Councillors OK hike in office cash
Call to restore cuts rejected
Winnipeg politicians added an extra $40,000 to their office budgets this year despite a call to return some of the money to non-profit groups facing cuts.
City council voted Wednesday to approve Winnipeg's 2013 capital and operating budgets without any amendments. The move means two of the most controversial parts of the budget remain unchanged: a plan to increase councillors' discretionary ward budgets to $114,000 from $74,000, and a five per cent cut to museums. Other groups -- such as the Poverty Action Strategy -- will receive no city funding.
Related Items
Councillors have a discretionary annual budget to pay for executive assistants, ward activities, transportation, postage and other office expenses. Some councillors say the existing budget makes it difficult to attract and retain staff, operate their office and communicate with their constituents.
The $40,000 increase per ward adds up to a total of $600,000.
Couns. Justin Swandel (St. Norbert) and Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge) hoped for a compromise and asked council to reduce the increase to ward budgets by $17,600 in order to restore nearly $335,400 of funding cuts to museums and other non-profits.
Couns. Swandel, Gerbasi, Ross Eadie (Mynarski), Brian Mayes (St. Vital), John Orlikow (River Heights) and Dan Vandal (St. Boniface) voted in favour of that plan, but the majority of councillors did not agree. The motion was defeated by a vote of 10-6.
"It's very discouraging and I think it is going to stick in people's minds," Gerbasi said. "I think the public was very much against this increase for councillors."
Together, the capital and operating budget outlines more than $1.2 billion of city spending on everything from new construction to snow removal, and includes a 3.87 per cent property-tax increase expected to generate an additional $17.8 million. The move will help pay for the rising cost of police and emergency services, which account for 44 per cent -- $406 million -- of Winnipeg's $921-million operating budget.
One per cent of the property-tax increase -- $4.5 million -- will go toward a reserve fund dedicated to fixing residential streets, lanes and sidewalks. The city plans to continue to increase property taxes by one per cent in coming years to fix streets, unless Winnipeg finds another source of revenue.
This year's hike means the average homeowner will pay an extra $57 on his or her property-tax bill.
Last year, Winnipeg ended its 14-year tax freeze and raised property taxes 3.5 per cent, which cost the average homeowner $48 to $60 extra, depending on property assessment.
Mayor Sam Katz said Winnipeg continues to have the lowest municipal taxes in the country, and residents will be able to see the difference in improved street repairs. He said no budget is perfect, and questioned the sincerity of opponents of the ward-budget increase.
"I was hoping to see one councillor stand up and say, 'You know what, if this is approved I'm not taking the money,' " Katz said. "It never happened, so I have to question how sincere and genuine were they?"
Coun. Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo) criticized city council for not finding more ways to save money. Havixbeck said councillors do not need more money in their ward budgets, noting she returned $9,000 of her budget from 2012, and the tax increase will make it harder for families and seniors on a fixed income.
"They're just taking the lazy way out," Canadian Taxpayers Federation Prairie director Colin Craig said of the tax hike.
Craig said Winnipeg could have saved millions over the past few years if it controlled salary hikes at the rate of inflation.
City council also rejected a call to reduce the increase in the rental fee for athletic fields. This year's operating budget calls for the fee to rent an athletic field to increase to $70 from $34. The extra revenue will be used to hire enforcement staff to find groups who use the fields and don't pay the fee.
Recreation groups warn the move will not improve the condition of athletic fields, which suffer from poor irrigation and holes, and will make it tougher for some Winnipeggers to play sports.
"That doesn't really help anything," Manitoba Organization of Disc Sports executive director Corey Draper said. "It's not solving the problem."
Finance chairman Coun. Russ Wyatt (Transcona) said Winnipeg spends $1.3 million a year to maintain more than 600 athletic fields and only raises $200,000 from rental fees. He said the bulk of the fee revenue is coming from youth sports, and there are many adult leagues using fields without paying the fee.
Highlights from the 2013 capital and operating budgets:
Property-tax hike: 3.87 per cent over 2012. One of those percentage points -- $4.5 million -- will be dedicated to road renewals.
Total spending on emergency services: $406.2 million, or 44 per cent of the operating budget.
Spending on city policy advisors: $579,136
Hike in council spending on councillors' own office budgets: $600,000, or $40,000 per ward.
Money for Sherbrook Pool repairs: $200,000
Street renewals: $50.4 million, up from $30.8 million in 2012
Former water-park cash: $7 million once set aside to subsidize a private water-park will be used to rebuild the East Elmwood community centre to the tune of $3.2 million, with the remaining $3.8 million divvied up among 14 other wards. Each will receive $271,000.
Polo Park traffic improvements: $30 million, using $20 million from the sale of the Canad Inns Stadium site.
Dutch Elm disease strategy: City will spend an additional $1.9 million on a Dutch elm disease strategy regardless whether the province will contribute matching funds.

Sadly, Christmas is over and I have to wait another 54 weeks before being able to enjoy my favorite holiday of the year again. I am going to take a wild guess, however, that at least one of your Christmas presents is made with some rubber. Whether that gift is a bicycle, tennis shoes, balls, or any range of gifts, rubber is everywhere today! Yet, did you realize a little more than one-hundred fifty years ago, materials made out of rubber were considered worthless. And, those that did exist were of limited use because they melted immediately upon getting hot!

The Atlanta Hawks suffered a tough blow when Al Horford suffered a pectoral injury, and was out for the season. Before that, they had a real shot at a 50-win season, and were looking at a potential high seed in the Eastern Conference. Now, it seems as if every Hawks player has missed some time with injury, and they have done a valiant job with the hand they were dealt.
With all the injuries and bad luck, the Hawks have been involved in a lot of trade rumors, and as the deadline approaches, you can expect them to heat up. The first report comes from Mitch Lawerence of the New York Daily News, as he is reporting that Atlanta has their sights set on Jeff Green of the Boston Celtics:
We're hearing #Hawks looking to get Jeff Green, who is being shopped hard by Danny Ainge and the #Celtics.
— Mitch Lawrence (@Mitch_Lawrence) February 9, 2014
It's going to cost #Atlanta DeMarre Carroll and more
— Mitch Lawrence (@Mitch_Lawrence) February 9, 2014
The key here is what it will cost them. DeMarre Carroll has been a nice surprise this season, averaging a career-high 10.4 points, and 5.6 rebounds in 31.1 minutes per game. Green is a guy who has shown flashes of all-star caliber play, but can often disappear for long stretches of the season. He's a good defender, but I'm not convinced he'd be a huge improvement over Carroll.
The Hawks will have the ability to spend some money in the upcoming future, so adding $9.2 million per year through 2016 would be unwise. Carroll is on a contract that expires next season, and is a steal at $2.4 million.
Take this rumor with a grain of salt, as rumors like this appear all over the news in the days leading up to the deadline. This is just something to keep an eye out for.

Buffalo, NY (WKBW) - A particularly dangerous form of heroin appears to be making its way through Western New York and has prompted local law enforcerment agencies to send an urgent warning. Buffalo Police suspect distributed heroin is being laced or mixed with an unknown and dangerous substance and may be linked to 2 fatal overdoses. Police also think a third overdose death could also be related.
"We don't know what could be mixed with the drugs or what it's being cut with," said Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda. "Everything is still under investigation but it's highly unusual to have 2 deaths, and again a third could be contributed to heroin in a short period of time."
In January, 42 people were treated for opiate-based overdoses at just one local hospital. Now more than ever police and other agencies are sending a strong message to addicts and distributors.
"There's no quality control," said Dale Kasprzyk, of the Drug Enforcement Administration. "That heroin could be mixed with any one of a number of substances all of which could potentially kill you."
Law enforcement is encouraging anyone with addiction to seek help through a doctor or a clinic.

Paper Trail
These collages are the result of a collaboration between my friend Hugstoli and me. We both had paper that we'd been stashing forever but for whatever reason were not able to use or discard, to the point that it became burdensome to us both. We joined forces, exchanged piles of scraps, and set out on a day-long collaging mission to break the paper's spell.

These Freedom Personification poems are examples of Personification poems about Freedom. These are the best examples of Freedom Personification poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Poetry was her best lover
Like no other
He loved her
Without restraint
She could be herself
And explore
And discover
Secret pleasures and fantasies
Naked above the covers
He let her lie
As he slowly caressed her imagination
Making her flow
With the sweet essence of her soul
In waves of delirium
Flying free
He let her be
Unworried of how to please
Or how to tease
Just simply to be
A woman in a prelude
To ecstacy
Poetry was her best lover
Her escape from reality
In clandestine intimacy
He ravished her mind
Again and again
For all he wanted
Was for her to come
To experience
To taste
Every pleasure
He had to offer
Her insatiable appetite
He fed
With firm truths
That burst forth with wisdom
He fed her desire
To reach supremacy
He never betrayed
Or delayed
In pleasing her
In giving her just what she wanted
In different ways and forms
His creativity endless
Poetry was her best lover
The only time in her day
When she had her way
And could be free
To be the woman she was mean to be
Sensual and sultry, sexy and savory
Not having to hide
Behind the guise
The veil of culture
Or religion
Or misconstrued sexism
Or alibis
Being demure
And "sterile"
When she was fertile
Laden with passion
Poetry was her best lover
He adored her
For whom she was
And he gave and gave
At times
Leading her in submission to his will
Taming her
Training her
To live in the confines
Of his rules
For perfection to be reached
She had to follow his lead
To the pinnacle of pleasure
Where all was in rhythmic union and rhyme
The sublime
Tasted and lived and then to descend
To warm after glow
Basking in the satisfaction
Of a fruitful union
For beauty has been conceived
Waiting for delivery
Yes, Poetry was her best lover
And she
Came looking for him
Begging him
To take her
Again and again and again
To transport her to heaven from hell
Tasting eternity
Poetry was her best lover
And she
Had no need of another
To help her discover
Her own entity….
None other
But her best lover

He appear to be a ladd of maybe 9 yrs. old. It's Friday, as our troop's prepared to move
out unto enemy territory, and then KABOOM!!...he becomes a suicide bomber. WOW! face-
less at such a young age. Now as I gather my comrade's body parts (as well as my thou-
ght's) to myself I say, "these people's belong in a cage". Pain in Irag, will it ever end, here
children's are taught too kill again & again. Our Boy'zz in misery, misery all around us, the
stinch of death is everywhere. Their fearless leader leads no more. Soon he's capture, "one
would think, finally!! and now answer's of life can be restore, but sadly there's only more
bloodshed here in Irag. And a salacious cloud still hoovers above our heads as the dead
bodie's continue's to rise, another soldier get sent home and familie's shall not be able to
stop the flow of tear's pouring from their eye's. (faceless at such a young age)
Our Boy's and Gal's in misery - here in a country, were there is no love, "A faceless enemy",
we continue to fight. Our Congressmen and Senator's vote to keep this sinceles war going,
"for our freedom", lying to themselve's and to the American people's. "For our Freedom",
"I don't understand-how can freedom be justified with a bullet and a gun". How can Freedom
be (?) when every Saturday you'll be burying your daughter or your son. Someday soon
we do get to go home, from here to a faceless nation. As the dead bodie's continue to rise,
and before the break of dawn starts another day. Your lil 9 year old goes outside to play.
In this land of confusion lil boy's also goes outside, freedom for him is to suicidily kill the
enemy-each and every morning in the name of Allah his mother tells him. So 10 U.S. sold-
ier's live's are gone, more are on the way. Remember their President is dead and gone
while our wants a "Celebration".
P.S.... This particular poem came to me in a dream, as in a dream I was there (in Irag)
holding this soldier who had been shot, and he relate's this particular
poem for me to write:
Not many see,
What it is to be free.
What it is to amount,
To make every day count.
Everything has a story,
Though the place your at you say is boring.
There's more behind this rundown town.
From the highest mountian,
To the streets unfound.
Where children once played,
And by their side their parents stayed.
Where the sky may not shine as bright,
But to every darkness there's light.
Where the creature's of the world find home,
While your complaining that the air's too cold.
When you're strong, it shows,
Planing each day as it goes.
Smiling and helping whoever you can,
Instead of moping about how much you hate this land.
You can't change the way the trees sway,
You can't change what's already gone away.
But the beauty of the world can take you in,
Make you see beauty like you should have when your life began.
When you start to appreciate the little things,
Like the crickets chirping,
And the songs birds sing.
You'll find all you needed has been there all along,
Only then you'll see where happiness comes from.
If to see is to believe,
Then there's belief all around.
From the starry night sky,
To the flowers on the ground.
So many find pleasure in all the wrong things,
Humanity has overcome,
Yet still falls apart at the seams.
We're so focused in on money and gold,
Before we know it our life has no meaning,
Our skin becomes cold.
It's never too late,
And you're never too near or far.
To make the best of things,
And be happy where you are.
A puzzle piece you are to me
Like a vine without any leaves.
Your heart is pure your soul is
Gold, the sweetest thing I'll
ever hold! A miracle in my eyes
it seemed, knowing they said
no babies for me! Always a
surprise you seem to be just
like a puzzle piece! At 9 months
you walked but not until 4 did
you first talk! Always a terror
making a beautiful mess always
a surprise that has yet to be
met! The twists and turns I
know we will see will seem
somewhat like a roller coaster
to me! The milestones and
special gifts you bring will make
my life seem Like a dream, my
special boy I have always said
How special I knew not till
Aspergers they said! The
journey will be trying the
journey will seem long! But
with our family together we will
chug along! My special boy I
love you so and cannot wait to
see you mature and grow! Now
we have a goal we have our
dream you see to make you the
perfect fitting puzzle piece!!

Mommy loves you to eternity
and beyond! Forever and
I threw caution to the wind
As I stood there on the edge
Would she carry me over?
Or just leave me on the ledge?
I threw caution to the wind
Never did I really believe
That the wind was ever kind
And waiting to give relief
I threw caution to the wind
And soared upon her wings
Never really knowing
The freedom that she brings
I threw caution to the wind
And what a pleasant surprise
The wind carried back to me
All that my heart desires
I threw caution to the wind
I threw caution to the wind
I threw caution to the wind
And the wind carried you to me!
Eileen Manassian Ghali
Sharp fangs flashes as he growls
threatening to bring death
the eyes flames in fury
looking for an escape
He once ruled in his kingdom
the predator in a solitary wild
strength was his armor
never feeling sorry for his fights
One day a trap caught the king
in an iron throne, a crown he was given
yet he rejects the admires
for it is not what his heart desires
he longs of his life back
he was a beast, fierce and wild
freedom is his definition of love
one the master will never understand
The death that echoes in every flight
the chase that severs wretched life
the danger of the wild
now he cries his lonely howl in the night
Seeing yourself through
A full-length mirror
Through the endless deed
Of time
To day a mere reflection
Of yesterday dreams'
Today's curtains
Yet to be opened
Dark Oh! so misty
Reality is only a myth
From the times'
Draped by the promises'
Of people we adore'
Knowing that freedom awaits'
Just beyond thy
Foot-steps' door

Experiencing many different emotions, it is shocking to my soul. Such an intense attraction drawing me in, surprising I am complete as a whole.
Finally full and complete within, a satisfation I've never experienced before. Finally someone able to find the hidden key, the only key that can unlock my safty door.
Gratified in every way possible, he has broken through the barrier I've been hiding behind for years. Complete in life and in love, finally able to let go of all my fears.
With a smile on my face and happiness in my heart, my dream has come true. He is my definition of perfect, from day one, my heart and head just knew.
He leads me through many exciting adventures, packed full of pleasant surprises. Everyday he gives me something new, the intensity level constantly rises.
As the relationship continues, the emotions get more intense. Surprising me every chance he gets, my suspense level balances on the fence.
It hit me like a tons of bricks, how fast I needed what he had to offer. His eyes, his touch, his love and charm, made me a little softer.
Everyday I look forward to where this will lead, but I am excited as a couple what we have become. Enjoying every moment as it's our very first, my heart constantly beats like a drum.
We have been through many trials and tribulations, with every memory I keep on replay. DeShane, you are the one meant for me, in my mind, in my heart and in my soul, is where I want you to stay!
I am going on a trip because I need to spend a week away from these aspects.
Don't burn that money.
Don't waste it either.
I'll spend it on something that I dislike.
It may be a venture but since I have spent my money, I can get high.
Clip art are my drawings and they are of beautiful megabits.
I think I am superfly so I play Rock & Roll all night.
Sheer excitement
Escape to the highest heights of my imagination is when I know who I am and where I have been
Little am I and my jeans are tight.
With my big tits, I walk as if I am filled with sexual desire.
I see myself and smile.
My empire.
I'm feeling something that is so real.
I knew, if I lost focus, I lose my inner being.
So I give self a darn bulge, know that this is my world; therefore, I don't lose the sensation.
The impression I give is that of confidence.
Self-asserted and assured, I moving up to finer things.
Handsome is the day and the night falls so lovely.
But I need to see what's mine.
I need to see what belongs to me.
Strikingly, I find that I own so many priceless images.
A landscape I may pick to be serenity.
Or, a portrait is nice for the stillness.
I'll plant a flower field to enjoy the contentment.
Equanimity is a silent panic.
I am just a being of the higher intelligence.
The noise is a clamor that does not last.
I will be the uproar of happiness.
Such a pleasure to have told you this.
If you want a replica, you may do the same.
That is joy in a virtual domain.
No more is the chance than any other government.
I have ruled this empire as long as I can remember.
Directions are easily to follow.
If you fail, I will not fail mines because all are downloadable.
I do not share my empirical secrets.
I am a régime of systems.
Simulated by thoughts that is pure.
Only I can be the downloader.
The peace the darkness has brought is shattered.
the world is burning
the light has slaughtered many.
Taking the souls of the living and the dead; Trapped they seek escape.
Freedom to run, freedom to fight, freedom to live
By knife and claw, sword and fang, the taken souls fight their chains.
who shall free them from their suffering

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Hot Air Makes Safer ChickenPoultry producers can reduce bacterial cross-contamination in poultry cages by treating the cages with forced air that's been heated to 122 F, according to a study by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists.While being transported in coops on trucks, poultry that have bacteria such as Campylobacter can contaminate, through their feces, other poultry that are free of pathogens. Those disease-causing bacteria can then be passed on to the next group of birds during the next trip, and so forth, unless the cycle is broken. Campylobacter is a foodborne pathogen that can be present in raw or undercooked poultry. Since the bacteria are commonly found in the digestive tracts of poultry, they're readily deposited onto coops and trucks when contaminated animals are transported to processing plants.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/01/hot-air-makes-safer-chicken

Penticton & South Okanagan News
Community Centre now more accessible
People in Penticton's disabled community are reacting positively to efforts to improve accessibility at the community centre.
Katie Bowling, a Penticton resident with spina bifida, who has been active at the centre, described it as a step in the right direction.
"It's great to see neccessary improvements being made to the accessibility of the building, so that it's more user friendly for everyone," she said. "And I hope it continues."
Most recently, upgrades have been made to a change room using a grant of $7,700 from the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen.
The need was also identified through community consultation with a group of advocates for persons with disabilities and recreation staff.
The additional accessible change room will reduce wait time to change for persons with disabilities. The grant funding allowed for the addition of a lift and full wall tracking system, grab bars, an adjustable shower head and widened cubicle door.
"Having this equipment makes it easier to access recreation," said Bowling.
The community centre serves people with disabilities from throughout the South Okanagan and has been working hard to ensure that everyone has access to recreation, according to city officials.
"The grant money has allowed for greater participation and access for persons with special needs to the pool," said Chuck Loewen, general manager of recreation.
Aaron McRann, Executive Director of the foundation, said they were pleased to partner with the city on the project.
"The community centre is, by its nature, intended to be a facility that is available and accessible to all," he said. "The Community Foundation is proud to have played a small part."

I only recently discovered the screenprinted stationery of HeatherJeany while visiting Craftland in Providence. Great color palette of vibrant, juicy hues and bold retro graphics. At $4 a pop, these cards are great for framing, too.

Young and Withit is a husband and wife team from Austin and they create these fun cards that are mostly hand screen printed using a print gocco. Gotta love a family business, especially one that seems to love Gnomes. Mad props to indie couples!
(images from young and withit)
I really love these original hand carved block prints from Etsy seller Mayberry Sparrow. The Swedish horse notecards are my favorite (in blue, although other colors are available), I'd love to see this print on a tea towel, wouldn't you? Mayberry Sparrow also does custom work, as she says, "I'm always happy to carve another stamp!".
In addition to stationery, I even spotted some pretty handmade blankets. Mayberry Sparrow has a dash of whimsy to their work that I really like, it's colorful and just makes me smile. In the end, isn't that why we are so drawn to design of all kinds, because it just makes us feel good?
(images from mayberry sparrow)
I love the look of Rainy Prints, who create these really nice hand-pressed linoleum cuts. So affordable, too. See the process to printmaking here on the Rainy blog. I love this blog – a teaching blog. I'd love to find more blogs that explain a process, like how to sew, reupholster furniture, how to get started on a letterpress, textile design, etc. I know they would be very time consuming, and most small business owners do not have the time to blog about their work in addition to create, market, ship, deal with customers, present at shows, etc. That's why a blog like Rainy Prints is so unique and special to me. Do you know of any process oriented blogs on said topics?

He played one full year with the Bears, followed by 7 games with the Cleveland Browns. Williams posted 3 passes defended, and zero INT's.
