Baseball's Hall of Fame Creating Museum on Wheels
By USA Today: Bob Nightengale on August 06, 2014
While it's an adventuresome and arduous task to travel to Cooperstown, N.,Y., Baseball's Hall of Fame Museum is now coming right to you.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, in conjunction with IMAX, MLB Advanced Media, Creative Artists Agency and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner, will announce Wednesday that it has joined a partnership to create a museum on wheels that is being planned to be launched in spring training, 2016.
IMAX Sees Success with 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
By Los Angeles Times: Madeline O'Leary on August 05, 2014
IMAX Corp. might be finally catching a break after what has been a slow summer for blockbusters this year.
Moviegoers streamed to theaters to catch the "Guardians of the Galaxy," allowing the sci-fi adventure to smash August box office records and rake in $94 million in its opening weekend. And it appears the big-budget film from Marvel Studios played well on IMAX theaters around the world as the company also notched record ticket sales.
The Toronto company sold about $16.5 million in "Guardians" tickets globally, nearly tripling the previous August best of $5.9 million by "Elysium." "Guardians" brought $11.5 million domestically on 354 IMAX screens, and eight of the 10 best performing locations for the movie were IMAX auditoriums. There are about 750 commercial IMAX theaters worldwide.

Will Marvel Ever Shoot A Film In IMAX®?
By MTV News: Kevin P. Sullivan on July 22, 2014
Many of Hollywood's biggest franchises — like "The Hunger Games," "Transformers" and "Star Wars," to name a few — have followed the example set by Christopher Nolan in "The Dark Knight" and filmed sequences in IMAX®.
So why hasn't Marvel Studios?
Bartiromo: IMAX CEO Gelfond Has Global Outlook
By USA Today: Maria Bartiromo on July 21, 2014
The summer of the blockbuster movie is alive and well, but that liveliness might not e so visible in the U.S. Box office receipts here are flat to down during the last few years, as more consumers opt for fancy home entertainment systems and mobile devices to watch their flicks. But internationally, sales are soaring, as movie-goers in China, Russia and Latin America pay up to see blockbusters. In the U.S., the average price of a movie ticket can be anywhere from $8 to $10, but a ticket to an IMAX theater can be up to $13 to $15 because of a more innovative 3-D and IMAX experience. Prices have gone up because of the popularity of 3-D and IMAX films such as Star Trek: Into Darkness and Iron Man 3. But nowhere is the popularity as strong and as pricey as in places such as emerging markets, where consumers are soaking up one of the USA's greatest exports: entertainment. I caught up with the CEO of IMAX, Richard Gelfond to talk growth around the world. Our interview follows, edited for clarity and length.
Q: Transformers: Age of Extinction has been the hot movie of the summer. But it's not just the U.S. Was this a surprise?

- How to Read a Study Record
- Tuberculosis (TB) infection is particularly deadly when it happens in people who are also infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, not much is known about how these two infections affect each other. Some people who have HIV or TB infections develop health problems after they start taking either HIV or TB medications or both. These drugs can improve the body s ability to fight infections, but sometimes this sudden improvement can make the infected person initially become sicker. Researchers want to study how these infections affect the immune system and the gene expression of people who have TB and may or may not have HIV, to see if there is a pattern of gene expression that may predict whether people starting treatment may get sicker initially.
- To study the gene expression and immune systems of people with TB who may or may not also have HIV.
- Adults at least 18 years of age who have tuberculosis.
- Participants will be drawn from study sites in the United States and China.
- Participants will be divided into three study groups. The first group will have TB but not HIV. The second group will have both TB and HIV that have not been treated. The third group will have both TB and HIV that are currently being treated.
- All participants will have a single study visit. Blood samples will be collected at this visit. A medical history will also be collected.
- No treatment will be provided as part of this study.

|Transcriptional Signature of HIV And TB Co-Infection
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2012
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the deadliest infections throughout the world, particularly in the setting of HIV infection. In China, TB is a frequently diagnosed complication of HIV infection. The immunopathogenesis of TB remains unclear, and although it is known that HIV infection increases the risk of developing active TB, either through infection or reactivation of latent disease, how it does so has yet to be determined. It is also known that patients co-infected with HIV and TB and na(SqrRoot) ve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) have a particularly high risk of developing Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) after ART therapy is initiated, but the immunopathogenesis of this reaction is also unclear. The use of genomics has significantly improved the understanding of disease pathogenesis and is increasingly being used to predict responses to therapy as well. Recently, blood transcriptional signatures capable of distinguishing active and latent TB infection have been identified using highly parallelized analytical platforms capable of simultaneous survey of transcription of known genes. These signatures have hinted at a complex role for type I interferons in the development of active TB infection, but this has not yet been studied in people with HIV and TB co-infection. Further in depth studies are needed to characterize the spectrum of responses to TB/HIV co-infection, and how these responses correlate with clinical data.
We propose a cross-sectional cohort study, to be conducted in both the US and in China, to identify blood mRNA expression profiles distinguishing TB mono-infected and TB/HIV co-infected ART-na(SqrRoot) ve patients from treated patients with and without TB-IRIS. Secondary objectives will include correlating gene expression levels with clinical outcomes and soluble biomarkers. The study will comprise a test set (in China) of 110 patients divided among the different cohorts and a validation set (in the US) of approximately 50 patients divided among the three groups. Participation will involve a single study visit to consist of small volume phlebotomy (approximately 25 mL for safety labs, transcriptome analysis, lymphocyte counts, and serum and plasma storage) a urine sample and information gleaned from the clinical record entered into a coded Case Report Form (CRF). The U.S. cohort will have an additional 40 mLs of blood collected for mononuclear cells (total of approximately 65mLs).The study will exclude women who are pregnant or breast-feeding (which can be associated with immune compromise and changes in markers associated with inflammation), and persons with anemia (who may be unable to tolerate phlebotomy solely for research purposes).
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
For all patients:
Adults, age 18 or older
TB diagnosis, ascertained as follows:
- specimen or biopsy smear, culture, or PCR positivity or
- compatible clinical presentation and imaging with strong suspicion for TB that necessitates initiation of empiric TB therapy (in which case the confirmation by culture or other laboratory means may follow enrollment, or alternatively clinical improvement in response to TB therapy may confirm the diagnosis).
If the TB diagnosis cannot be confirmed as above (i.e. culture positive for NTM), the patient will be excluded from final analysis.
Ability and willingness of subject or legal guardian/representative to understand study requirements and give informed consent. In the event an adult subject is unable, due to illness or mental incapacity, to give informed consent, a person authorized with durable power of attorney (DPA) or legal guardian may give consent for the subject s blood to be obtained, shipped, and tested under this protocol.
Agree to storage of study data and biologic specimens for use in future studies of immune function, tuberculosis, genetics, and/or HIV pathogenesis.
Patients in TB mono-infected arm (Group A) would additionally be eligible if:
HIV negative (documented seronegative within 1 month of study visit)
Not receiving TB therapy for more than 7 days prior to study visit
Patients in TB/HIV co-infected arm (Group B) would additionally be eligible if:
HIV positive (outside HIV testing will be accepted)
Not receiving TB therapy for more than 7 days prior to study visit
Untreated or ART na(SqrRoot) ve (will be accepted if they had been on ART in the past but none within the last 6 months).
Patients in TB/HIV co-infected, treated arm (Group C) would additionally be eligible if:
HIV positive
Currently receiving TB therapy
Currently receiving ART (The subset of patients without TB-IRIS will have been on antiretroviral therapy for at least 8 and not more than 12 weeks. The subset of patients with TB-IRIS will be enrolled at the time of their TB-IRIS event) with some evidence of adherence (often measured by clinical improvement, medication refills or laboratory values)
The TB-IRIS subset of patients (15 patients at NIAID and 20 patients at SHAPHC) would also need to meet criteria for paradoxical TB-IRIS
Pregnancy or post-partum period (6 months post-partum or while breast-feeding, whichever is longer).
Documented history of hemoglobin from most recent blood draw less than 7g/dL.

Turtle Bay Resort
Oahu, Hawaii
Picture a sun-drenched island in the Pacific. A place of such natural beauty, even business seems like a breezy day in paradise. Welcome to Turtle Bay Resort on Hawaii's North Shore.
At Lucy, we believe that great cuisine comes from ingredients that are sustainably and humanely raised, sourced locally wherever possible, and come from people who are passionate about what they grow and raise. That's why we're proud to have long-lasting partnerships with our suppliers. We're forever inspired by their work, whether they're educating people about wild edibles or collaborating with us on organic farming methods.
Some of our suppliers include:
Sonoma County Poultry was founded in 1992 by Jim Reichardt, a fourth-generation duck farmer. Their "Liberty Ducks" are reared in a slower, less stressful style, resulting in a market age of about nine weeks (as opposed to six weeks for other commercially grown birds). Sonoma County's temperate climate allows them to raise Liberty Ducks year-round, on straw litter, in an open environment with a minimum of intrusion. Liberty Ducks receive no antibiotics or hormones and are fed a diet consisting largely of corn and other grains. The combination of all these factors result in some of the best, most flavorful duck available in the country today.
"I've been working with Liberty Duck for the last 20 years. The demand for his ducks has sky rocketed but instead of changing what he does he makes the hardest decision a business owner must make and that is saying no. This is one of the many unique qualities about Liberty Duck: they stay true to what they stand for." - Chef Scargle
Rocky Mountain Wooly Weeders, owned by Don Watson, is an open range sheep herding company that provides milk-fed lamb to Lucy Restaurant & Bar. The sheep are moved from lowland pastures in the spring to mountain pastures in the summer, allowing them to grow their lambs on open range at their mothers' side. Rocky Mountain's operations extend beyond lamb and milk: their sheep are also available for grazing vineyards and open lands, providing an environmentally sensitive mowing service. This simultaneous mowing, weeding and fertilizing process creates a truly healthy biodynamic soil.
"Don Watson, who has become a great friend, is in high demand in the industry. He is a visionary in the lambing world and is changing the way sheep are raised in the U.S. Some of my greatest times are spent with Don, learning and watching the sheep with him and his team. The difference in the flavor of Don's sheep is in the attention to detail and commitment Don puts into his work." - Chef Scargle

Jacobsen is a CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) farm that grows specialty produce, including culinary flowers, edible wild crops and a range of orchard fruits. Peter Jacobsen works closely with our Executive Chef, Victor Scargle, to ensure our gardens at Bardessono are farmed in accordance with the standards of the CCOF program. He also collaborates with Chef Scargle in finding the variety of unusual culinary vegetables and flowers that are incorporated into the dishes at Lucy's Restaurant & Bar.
"Peter has been a great asset to have in town, from providing us with unique ingredients from the Jacobsen Farm, to helping with trimming and planting in Lucy's garden. When you can work side-by-side with someone who has the experience Peter does, and has the same level of passion you do, the end result is always fantastic!" – Chef Scargle

KeKe Palmer: How she almost got passed up for TLC movie
(Yahoo!) - KeKe Palmer, 20, has been a fan of TLC since she was 6 or 7 years old, so it's a dream come true that she portrays Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas in the VH1 movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.
But she was initially turned down for the role.
When KeKe and her mother learned that a TLC film was in the works, they inquired but received disappointing news.
"We called in and they were like, 'Actually we're not taking known actors,'" KeKe told Yahoo Music during Part 1 of an exclusive three-part video interview. "'We want the girls playing TLC to unknown.'"
KeKe understood the decision but was pleased to later receive a callback to audition.
Also, in Part 1, KeKe discusses bonding with Chilli, including watching Twilight at her house, and getting lessons on TLC dance moves.

In addition to the home theater or media room, the backyard is one of the most popular places for audio/video and control system installations. We've featured many impressive outdoor integration systems, from huge patio theaters to extensive speaker and lighting systems, but one thing they all have in common is the need for remote control in an environment that's not always conducive to the remotes or interfaces we use indoors.
Few standard remote controls and no smartphones or tablets are designed with weather and pool safety in mind. Imagine dangling your feet in the outdoor hot tub while browsing your media selection on your iPad when someone playfully bumps you into the water? Now your hair's wet and your iPad's ruined.
But there are options. Just as speakers, subwoofers and HDTVs now come in waterproof/weatherproof outdoor versions, so do some remotes controls. With the right remote, you don't have to worry that a poolside accident or surprise thundershower is going to ruin your precious electronics. A few of the outdoor remotes (shown in the accompanying slideshow) actually float, so you can use them in your pool, not just poolside.
But what if your main control system interface is actually your iPhone or iPad? This is an increasingly common situation. While many homes will have in-wall touchpanels and keypads, the in-hand remotes are often mobile devices. A great solution for those users is a waterproof case. Some waterproof cases are bulky and look more like sandwich bags than something for your elegant smart phone, but a few are slim and stylish enough to stay on your phone full-time. In fact there are even floating options, so your device won't sink when accidentally kicked in the drink (by the way, these are also great options for boaters).
A few companies, such as Lifeproof, make waterpoof smartphone cases that work well for protecting your poolside A/V controllers.
Check out our picks for outdoor control interfaces at the included slideshow.

It was way back in November 2010 when it was first announced that Carey Mulligan would star as heroine Daisy Buchanan in director Baz Lurhmann's feature film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece The Great Gatsby and still, nearly three years later, the much-hyped movie has not even been released in theatres. That's all about to change on May 15th when Gatsby debuts in 3D on the first night of this year's Cannes Film Festival schedule. As we were initially expecting the production to hit cinemas in December 2012, we're more excited than ever to drool over leading man Leonardo DiCaprio as troubled central character Jay Gatsby, feast our eyes on Carey's flapper girl costumes - a lot of which were created exclusively by Miuccia Prada - and tap our feet along to the film's score featuring music by none other that Mr Beyonce himself, US rapper Jay-Z.
Lurhmann revealed "It is a great honour for all those who have worked on The Great Gatsby to open the Cannes Film Festival,. F. Scott Fitgerald wrote some of the most poignant and beautiful passages of his extraordinary novel just a short distance away at a villa outside St. Raphael." So it was worth the wait then - especially if Carey's French Rivera wardrobe is half as good as we're expecting it to be!
The actress has been a long-time fan of Prada, having worn designs from the Italian fashion house to the Met Ball 2012 in May last year - which later sold for charity on eBay For £1,860 - and her wedding to hubby Marcus Mumford. Combine this with the fact that Miuccia Prada, who previously worked with Luhrmann on Romeo & Juliet, has reportedly selected 40 items from the Prada and Miu Miu archive to be adapted for the film it would surely be weird if Mulligan didn't pull Prada out the bag during her Cannes promotional extravaganza. We're picturing the two looks above from Prada's Autumn Winter 2013 collection as arrival options.
For the red carpet what about one of these to sexy silken looks from Miu Miu's Spring Summer 2013 presentation. Or perhaps Carey will stay true to the era of the film and choose vintage pieces from the Prada archive!
Take a look through the star's previous style hits in the gallery below...

Ric Flair and Batista, representing Evolution, were successfully able to defend the WWE tag titles against the Dudley Boyz in a Tables match at the Royal Rumble. In a rather interesting bit, the match lasted less than five minutes.

How Mothers Can Change the World
Museum Pick: January 21-February 2, 2009
"The sky is falling, the sky is falling" said Chicken Little, which, if you turn on the radio, watch the TV or read the paper, feels fairly accurate. Everywhere we turn the word "crisis" is in the air--the financial crisis, the food crisis, the global warming crisis, the terrorist crisis... One would think that nothing good is happening in the world. Yet there is greatness all around.
Mothers Acting Up, Boulder, Colorado | Photograph: Scott Raderstorf
The positive light among us is the growing swell of activism from women formerly in the shadows. From heads of state to soccer moms, mothers around the world are doing incredible work to inspire, educate and engage their communities.
Mothers are a force to be reckoned with, by their sheer numbers alone. This huge, highly diverse group of women has traditionally been hard to track and define, let alone mobilize.
But, it's also a group whose members increasingly say in books, blogs and polls--whether they work or stay at home--that they are overwhelmed, weary of their traditional roles and ready for social reforms that will address the unmet needs of women and children.
A new generation of caregivers is rising to answer this global call for change. Mothers like Lorena in Costa Rica. Through their tenacious work, indigenous women have empowered themselves in the field of sustainable development and environmental conservation in Latin America.
Or Hangama, a mother of twin daughters, working to secure national policies that will safeguard children's rights in Afghanistan. Or Joan and Catherine, both mothers who developed an international women's fair trade cooperative using U.S. school fundraisers as their primary marketplace. And Tlaleng, who since the deaths of her first two children to HIV, has made a difference in the lives of many by bringing HIV/AIDS education to her village in Lesotho.
The promising reality is that mothers are emerging as social advocates and political leaders. Almost half of the legislators in Rwanda today are female (most are mothers), and in some of the poorest countries in South America, key positions in the government are being assigned to women and mothers.
In Afghanistan, a mother of three recently ran for president. All over the world, female politicians are proud to emphasize their role as mothers--and even campaign as mothers. Recently, the first U.S. mother, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, said, "As a mother, I will exhaust every remedy for peace." It's a refrain being heard more and more often as mothers step into leadership roles.
Mothers are a universal symbol of the unique power women have to get things done, to survive insurmountable odds, and to help others in need. Some, however, overwhelmed with the responsibility of raising children and running households, say "I'm concerned--I just don't have the time or energy to make a difference."
These mothers assume that getting involved in community advocacy must be a full-time job. But in fact, even the smallest effort makes a big difference. Improving local schools begins with a few parents and a mission statement. One mother's idea for expanding a childcare program can snowball into a county-wide initiative. Writing a letter or an e-mail to your congressman about legislation that will affect thousands of children in your community can take less than 30 minutes.
And you don't have to do it all yourself--activism is contagious! Just find something that stirs your passions and get the ball rolling. As our new President Barack Obama has shown us, small groups of community organizers have the ability to create big results.
Also, never doubt the tremendous influence a mother has on her children's perception of the world--simple words and actions have the potential to evolve young minds and create great shifts in their future. Talking to your kids about why we reuse and recycle is an easy, yet important message. Better yet, ask your children what kind of world they want to live in when they grow up and see if there is anything you can do with them to start creating that world right now. All of these small things you do as a parent add up in the big picture, so even if you are an at-home mom, you have a very powerful and important job in society.
The greater social environment in which our children live is in need of motherly love and attention. If we start using our collective voice, as women and as mothers, we can reverse the current trend of greed, violence and destruction that is so prevalent in the world today. As we mothers expand our influence of care beyond the confines of our homes and family units--and start caring more for the global family and our planet--we will become the change we wish to see in the world.
Traveling five continents, Amie Brooke Nelson is interviewing mothers for her forthcoming book, Inspiring Mothers: Wisdom and Activism from Mothers Around the World. This book will show motherhood as a perfect vehicle to revitalizing a woman's political and social consciousness. Receive your free 7 Simple Steps You Can Take Now to Change the World.

Home control company HAI now touts a suite of devices that can provide energy management in the home independent of utility-based smart grid programs. The systems use the wireless RF-based ZigBee Home Automation protocol.
A small tabletop or wall-mounted ZigBee Interface Module (ZIM) for the company's Omni and Lumina controllers or a ZigBee MicroControl touchpanel for a standalone systems is required. You can add OmniStat2 RC-2000ZB thermostats or RC-1000ZB t-stats for single-stage conventional and heat pump systems, 30- and 5-amp control modules, and 300-watt plug-in lamp modules to the system. The system can accommodate up to 64 devices and perform current sensing for energy monitoring.
The MicroControl lets you enable and disable devices and create custom schedules. It can enact time-based schedules for temperatures, water heaters, air conditioning units, pumps, fountains, lamps, generators and other devices. It can automatically set back energy loads during work days and have preferences restore an hour before returning home, for example. A snooze button on top can set back every device in Away or Vacation mode.
You can also view the energy use, or current draw, of connected devices.
The MicroControl includes a USB port so that the firmware of the MicroControl and any other ZigBee devices can be updated with a PC. (The ZIM does not have a USB port because the ZIM gets firmware updates from the Omni or Lumina systems.) The MicroControl can also act as a ZIM if a homeowner adds an Omni or Lumina system later.
More features and wireless protocols may be added later to the suite of products. "We've designed the entire product suite around a modular radio concept so that in the future we have the flexibility to add support for whatever radio technology the market demands," says HAI's Thomas Pickral Jr.
Here's a video explanation of the system:

Post subject: Non-Commercial clauses
Of course I know that BLAG is a 100% Free distro, and that's the main reason why I like it. But, is your "free" definition the same as the Free Software Foundation?
I don't agree with them at least in one point. Their "Freedom 0" - in their vision - means that I can use a software as I want, for example I must be free to sell it. That's why some licenses (like MAME license or BY-NC-SA) are not accepted by the FSF. I'm italian, so let me know that this is the Silvio Berlusconi's definition of Freedom (his political alliance was previously named "house of freedoms").
GPL grants the "four freedoms" to the people who receive a copy of the software. But what if I don't have money? Well, if the software is not "free as in free beer" I won't receive a copy, so I'm not even free to run the program. I don't care about the freedom of rich people, it's not my problem.
Intellectual property does not exist, they say. But it can be sold. It sounds weird to me...
Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2010 3:36 pm
Post subject:
The FSF does not qualify licenses with "non-commercial"
terms as free because it means that (both)
(0) you can't use the program to do any work in exchange to any
material reward. I believe this must be allowed even in communistic
society, and if the program prohibits this, it is restricted in an essential
way; it is not free.
(1) you can't sell the program, that is, whenever you get it, you get
it free of charge.
Free software does addresses the issue of unreasonable
prices,indirectly, but satisfactorily, and the copylefted
programs address it more efficiently than the non-copylefted ones.
If you are the only person who needs the program, then its' price
is your deeply personal problem, you should not represent it
as a global or a social one (and freedom _is_ inherently a social
issue); in other words, if you don't care of the rich, who are rare,
but multiple, why should anybody care of you, who is single?
And if there are many people who need the program, then
the statement "if I have no money, I can't get the program"
is false for free programs, because you can cooperate
with other people, buy a copy and reproduce it as many times
as you need.
Please note that I don't sympathise with any form of capitalism,
but I think that it is much more important for a program to be free
than not to be commercial.

Thus Brahms seems to meld the principles of concerto and symphony—especially in the spacious first movement, Allegro non troppo, which grows organically into a grand tonal network of interconnected ideas. The piano does not merely repeat the themes of the orchestral tutti but engages in a wide-ranging dialogue by continually varying them. Despite the generally optimistic tone, darkness and passion have their places—the former represented by sudden glimpses of distant tonal areas, the latter by the more choleric of the piano's monologues. After this the D minor scherzo, Allegro appassionato, hints at real tragedy. Its first subject has an impetuous zeal, while the second is a haunting tune full of submissive pathos. An angry development then leads to the trio section's grand, Handelian D major theme before the scherzo music returns, urgent and volatile to the last.
The spirit of chamber music is most marked in the Andante slow movement, which is framed by a deeply expressive cello solo, a kind of sublime lullaby which many have seen as an anticipation of the song Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer ('My sleep grows ever quieter') that Brahms was to compose in 1886. The piano never has this tune, but muses upon its harmonic background in filigree passagework and decoration of the utmost plasticity. The overall impression is of self-communing improvisation, where motivic development dissolves into the stream of consciousness. There is a central episode, dominated by reflective piano arpeggios and clarinets in thirds, that might seem an exercise in pure sonority. Yet what the clarinets play is an exact quotation from Brahms's song Todessehnen ('Yearning for death'), composed three years earlier but not published until 1882 (as Op 86 No 6)—an unusual self-quotation for this composer, confirming the deep personal significance of the movement.
The finale, Allegretto grazioso, releases the accumulated tensions in a playful rondo, strewing tunes around (many in Brahms's beloved Hungarian rhythms) like unconsidered pearls. This is a complex fusion of rondo and sonata form that wears its intricacy with insouciance. The piano summons up lilting, instantly memorable, themes in seemingly artless profusion. Yet there is immense artfulness here: not only in the many subtle rhythmic contrasts, but also in the 'gypsy' languor of the second-subject tune, in the Mozartian wit of the epigrams bandied about between soloist and orchestra, and in the easy confidence of scoring that allows Brahms to write grand, full-hearted tuttis without once requiring trumpets or drums.
It may not be implausible to hear this concerto as a kind of pianistic autobiography—by a composer for whom the piano, and piano music, lay at the centre of his creativity. The first movement's quality of carefully structured improvisation plausibly presents a portrait of the young virtuoso, responding to the voice of Nature (the horn theme) with a hugely confident display of pianistic technique. But the scherzo intervenes, in D minor—for Brahms a key of catastrophic associations (the First Piano Concerto, begun in the aftermath of Schumann's suicide attempt and incarceration in an asylum, makes this clear). However the robust and enlivening 'Handelian' trio perhaps represents the saving grace of study, the power of the music of the past to strengthen and stabilize the composer—as Brahms's Baroque studies had strengthened him, issuing at length in his Op 24 Handel Variations.
The slow movement would then indicate a period of withdrawal, of self-communing at the keyboard, almost of self-effacement. In Brahms's own solo output this mood is most clearly felt in the long series of late pieces which had begun during the 1870s with his Op 76 Klavierstücke. The wonderful main theme, however, is entrusted to the solo cello: the piano muses round it, decorates it, dialogues with the cello as a subordinate partner. The extent to which this movement resembles a cello–piano duet suggests (quite apart from the tenderness of the main idea) some imaginative link with Clara Schumann. Perhaps Brahms was thinking of the Romanze slow movement of her own youthful Piano Concerto of 1835, which is even more of a cello–piano duo. The song-quotation, too, is probably connected with his feelings for her, especially where the text (by Max von Schenkendorf) speaks of 'the secret heavy burden' on the poet's soul, which can only be lifted by union with 'the sisterly being' of the beloved. The main tune's anticipation of Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer then fits into a potentially tragic context, for they are both songs about death, or the yearning for it. But the finale, with its Hungarian rhythms, its relaxed evocation of dance and song, counterbalances this by releasing an entirely different aspect of Brahms's pianism: his sizeable output of music for enjoyment and relaxation, most notably the Hungarian Dances and Liebeslieder-Walzer. This finale remains of the highest artistic quality (and is no relaxation for the pianist); but the popular elements blent in it are essential to any rounded portrait of its composer.

Jonathan M. Katz, Author, 'The Big Truck That Went By'
Three years ago, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western hemisphere devastated Haiti, killing over 300,000 people. The world did seem to rally, raising 16 billion dollars in pledges. Yet three years on, rebuilding has barely begun, and some 350,000 Haitians still languish in tent cities. Jonathan M. Katz, author of "The Big Truck That Went By", tells Annette Young just what went wrong.

The two cops that'd brought Lydia to the station had filed in and out of that room half the night. And now it was just about morning.
I'd stood waiting in the hall, leaning back against a wall. The hardness of it hurt. I was tired like I'd been bloodlet. [A much more effective analogy than I was tired like I'd been up all night.] [Thanks. It took me thirty years to stop being haunted by the image of the abominable Dr. Phibes draining Dr. Longstreet's blood, and thanks to that one word, "bloodlet," it looks like I have another decade or two of nightmares to look forward to.]
A different cop walked toward me with papers in his hand. This guy was younger than the others. His short, white-blond hair curled softly around his face.
He looked wide-awake. I guessed the shifts were changing.
"Are you with her?" he said, nodding at the door.
I nodded back. "Aren't the night-shift guys gonna finish up before they leave?"
The guy raised one pale eyebrow at me. "What are they supposed to finish?"
"Taking my friend's statement, so she can go home."
"She's your friend, huh?" He said it like he didn't believe me.
"She lives upstairs from me. She called me after…"
"After what?"
After what-the-hell-do-you-think, you little asshole is what I thought. "After she thought she'd been attacked," is what I said.
--Robin S.
I should have advised everyone to provide a sentence or two about what's going on. Normally I would assume if Lydia doesn't know she's been attacked that we're dealing with a date rape drug? But wouldn't she head for the hospital to be checked out first rather than call the cops? Or wouldn't the cops get her checked out before keeping her up all night questioning her? Even if Lydia is just mentally/emotionally a basket case capable of imagining or making up an attack, I would expect the cops to get her a medical exam.
The narrator wonders how Lydia made it in there, away from her safe place. This suggests she wasn't present when the cops came and drove Lydia to the station, or she'd know how it all transpired. But she knows which of the cops drove Lydia, suggesting maybe she was present.

Adnan Januzaj is a creative force, able to pull the strings in an advanced midfield position and carve out openings with dynamic wing-play when finding himself on the flanks. A beautifully-balanced player, it is obvious to see why he is so highly regarded at Manchester United.
Januzaj, who signed a new five-year contract with the Reds on 19 October 2013, joined the club in 2011 from Anderlecht, one of the top clubs in Belgium - the country of his birth. Many observers eagerly anticipated him pulling on a red shirt and he did not disappoint, showing off his ability on the ball from the moment he started playing for United at Under-18 level. Playing with an upright style, always looking at the options open to him, he was threatening to become a key figure for Paul McGuinness' team after opening his goal account against Crewe Alexandra.
However, a serious injury abruptly ended his 2011/12 season and meant he was unable to participate in the latter stages of the FA Youth Cup. At least he was given a glimpse of the future when travelling with the Reserves squad for the final match of the club's campaign - the Manchester Senior Cup final at the Etihad Stadium. After forcing his way into the Under-21 side on a regular basis, he
