In just one day almost 60,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded. Why was this first day on the Somme such a disaster for the British?
World War I, trenches and barbed wire ran across the entire continent of Europe from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. At 7:30am on July 1st, 1916, after a devastating artillery bombardment lasting more than a week, 100,000 British soldiers waited in their trenches ready to advance on the German lines. They'd been told to expect minimal resistance, but as they picked their way slowly across no-man's-land, guns opened fire. Shells burst overhead, and waves of men were machine-gunned down. It was a military catastrophe of unprecedented proportions. Filmed on the battlefield itself, in laboratories and on firing ranges - archaeologists, military historians, and other experts from disciplines as diverse as metallurgy and geology investigate the factors and conduct tests to replicate and understand the factors that turned one terrible day into the bloodiest in the history of the British Army.

Sarah Palin
What do you think of the presumptive 2008 Republican candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin? Is this is a good choice? Does this advance women in politics? Share your thoughts!

How is Alaska's burial of domestic violence and rape information within its website any different from most other states. Please show me several states that do have this information on their homepage.
20/09/29 04:36:11 م
I have been battling for the rights of women for decades. I'm thrilled to see a woman as a Vice Presidential candidate. The fact that she is a woman, however, should not be mistaken with being a good choice for women.
Senator Biden was the one who led the Anita Hill hearings and voted against Thomas as a choice for the Supreme Court. Mr. Biden spearheaded several efforts on behalf of women. What has Ms. Palin done for women? Shouldn't we be discussing wether the presidential candidates are good choices? Should we consider how they will advance or hinder the advancement and empowerment of women?
I read a report conducted by Stanford University released today about some of the reasons why the polls don't suggest a bigger lead for Senator Obama. Many of the answers seem to still lead to racism. I posted a question days ago to discuss racism in the upcoming elections. I got one response. I have to admit I was disappointed.
Shouldn't enlightenment about issues of injustice and inequality cut accross all spectrums. Is it okay for women to be concerned with discimination against women and not be concerned about all discrimination?
I would like to think that we are better than that.
22/09/29 10:42:30 ص
PBS has a poll that asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP?
The Right Wing has organized a yes vote, and it is piling up and will be quoted, we can be sure. Let's turn this around..... You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote. It's very simple.
22/09/29 03:21:18 م
Frankly, I'm shocked that US [white] women are being hoodwinked into supporting McCain now that folksy Palin is gracing his arm.
Palin is riding the coattails of Hillary Clinton's historic campaign, but she hasn't earned the right to be on a presidential ticket herself. I'm all for electing women to positions of power--when they're earned. There are hundreds of women profiled in your "Women, Power and Politics" exhibition that put Sarah Palin to shame.
I'm looking forward to the Biden-Palin debate on Oct 2. If there is any depth to her after all we'll see it then. But so far she's revealing herself to be inexperienced, if not dangerous--lending her pretty face to an old--and dramatically failing-- political platform.
I feel sorry for Palin's poor daughter who has to marry at 17 and be burdened with the myriad responsibilities of motherhood. She should be picking out colleges, not baby names. What mother would force that on her child? Well, I guess the same mother who wants to ban books from the public library, supports teaching evolution in schools and would deny rights to gay couples; one who is a member of the NRA and denies the science behind global warming....
Thanks for letting me rant.

The status of women and children is a barometer of society's humanity. Governor Sarah Palin's campaign for U.S. Vice-President is making headline news of long-ignored working mothers' issues. Women across the country understand what it means to juggle managing a job with raising children. They also know that Palin's solutions are outmoded and impossible without a nuclear family of wife, husband and children living under one roof, with help from relatives nearby. The majority of women are underpaid workers without such support. Many raise children alone. Most need paid maternity and family leave and childcare to keep their jobs and sanity.
As Wall Street collapses, tens of thousands lose jobs, and living costs soar under the watch of the Bush regime with complicity of the Democrats, women carry the heaviest burden. In response to the crises of war, environmental destruction and lack of funds for housing, healthcare, childcare and education, the Republican leadership offers the Palin candidacy. In an interview with People Magazine, Governor Palin reported that she signed government bills within two hours of giving birth to her latest child, and was back in the governor's office after two days of maternity leave. Big business and the state love her "super mom" credentials—because women's free labor in the home means corporations and the government can sidestep paying their share of raising the next generation of workers. A system that says the individual can and must "do it all" without societal support is anti-woman and anti-human liberation.
In the absence of political leaders willing to fight for humane policies that benefit working people, all the pressures of parenthood and survival in an economy which super-exploits women, immigrants and people of color remain intact. We require anti-capitalist alternatives to the brutal for-profit, war-driven capitalist system that benefits just a few and fails to support the majority of people. Women don't need Sarah Palin and more "free market" chaos to save the day. We must have a rational, planned, egalitarian, socialist society that distributes wealth based on need, not greed.
The parade of female elected officials at Democratic and Republican party conventions illustrate that both need the votes of women to win. Yet, both parties topped their agendas with women who ignored issues such as affordable quality childcare, healthcare including full reproductive rights, public education, affirmative action and living wage jobs without forced overtime. It was all about gender and personality before politics. Follow this fuzzy logic to its natural conclusion and you get a right-wing female candidate touted as a victory for women.
Palin's anti-abortion stance alone, necessary to her GOP nomination, turns women's rights on its head. What rights do women have if they can't control their own bodies? What rights do teenage girls have if they are denied accurate sex education and steered into marriage and having children before they are ready?
Under the guise of breaking the class ceiling for women, Palin is erroneously paraded as someone who embodies a broader definition of female rights and the feminist movement. There is no such thing as a monolithic movement for social and political change, and this is true of the feminist movement as well. Why not advocate for the working class and those at the bottom of the economic ladder instead of movement leaders who promote the interests of the owning class in an attempt to get a piece of the pie? Deal with the issues of these women, and all will benefit.
24/09/29 12:09:18 م
I think the choice of Sarah Palin was to consolidate support from Christian right based of the Republican party, which was tepid on McCain. In that sense, it seems to be working. Feminists need to be careful to distinguish between a biological affinity with a woman candidate and real interests she represents. Sarah Palin's candidacy does real harm to the interests of the vast majority of women in the United States!
24/09/29 03:54:05 م
Here is a video clip that thoroughly evaluates Palin's experience and qualifications for the job--in comparison with vice presidents through history.
The basic conclusion is that she has less experience than any other past US VP.
26/09/29 02:22:46 م
I watched Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin on cbs.com. I encourage everyone to watch it. It was so sadly apparent that Palin was unprepared and unable to go "off script" for even the most basic questions. For the 'tough" questions" she had nothing.
26/09/29 04:12:01 م
Katha Pollitt had some interesting things to say about Palin on Wednesday in The Nation. The most unbelievable thing to me is that they will modify the VP debate to mitigate Palin's inexperience. Ironically, her party is historically opposed to "level playing fields."
27/09/29 03:10:56 م
This is a cheap attempt on the part of McCain to boost his failing ratings. Not only does she lack the experience needed for such a high office (I shudder to think of her in the role of President), her views are so anti-woman, and so sophomoric, that I cannot imagine a self-respecting feminist, or intelligent woman for that matter, voting for her simply because of her gender.
27/09/29 03:12:36 م
I wish to correct a serious mistake. Sarah Palin did not win the beauty contest. She was the runner-up
27/09/29 03:18:36 م
Wangui--I agree with most of what you write, but am skeptical of Obama's conviction that women should have equal rights. His campaign was so sexist; he condescended to Hillary to such a degree as to suggest that an equal rights platform (his own wife excepted) is a convenient means to an end. I know--you can point to the two daughters, and what he wants for them, yet I cannot shake this distrubing feeling that in his heart he believes in male superiority.
27/09/29 03:27:44 م
Renee--women squabling? That is not what it looks like to me. They are very serious about attacking her values, her issues and her ability lead. What an appalling prospect for the country. When asked about Putin, this savvy (?) women referred to the view of Russia from her back door. What a fine representative this "cheerleader" governor would make. And what a wonderful affirmation of the male argument that women are inherently unfor for leadership.
A Ukrainian politician recently remarked: "Women cannot cook soup with one hand and lead the country with the other." Another "sage" offered the following advice for women aspiring to political influence: "Elect a good man to advocate on your behalf!"
27/09/29 03:34:16 م
Yes Sara--we are between the proverbial "rock and a hard place" when it comes to choice. We do not have a viable candidate for president. What can the next four years bring. The thought frightens me. I cannot decide whether the country would be worse off with the two candidates for president, or, in the even of some tragedy overtaking them, the two even more frightening VP candidates.

Countdown to Rose Bowl
22 October 2009
Countdown to Rose Bowl
Thursday 22nd October 2009. Los Angeles. Day off.
We've been pedal-to-the-metal for a couple of days to get everything ready for the Vegas show. In uncharacteristically sensible fashion, we've ruled out putting anything new into the show in L.A. The Rosebowl is our one shot at the YouTube broadcast and DVD shoot which is pressure enough for one day, so experimenting with new show elements on top of that would be daft, even by our standards. Consequently, anything that we want for the Rosebowl has to be ready and in the Vegas show tomorrow night. We've been rattling through the ideas which came up during our Mexico meetings and have most of that sorted. These were mostly just small tweaks that have been surprisingly helpful in tightening up the show and making it a little more coherent.
There are two more ambitious tasks though, which I'm still not 100per cent confident we'll get together, but it's looking more promising today than it was yesterday. One idea is for Unknown Caller, where we want to create a 'Global Chorus' of singers from all over the world who will join in the chants during the song. We got U2.com to put up a request for video clips of people singing and have had a good response. Awkwardly, the response has come in the form of a hundred video clips which all seem to be in different formats so it's been a bit of a marathon to beat it all into shape.
As if gathering video material from all over the world wasn't tricky enough, the second new piece we're making involves collecting video from space (at least the U2.com clips were available on earth...) We were keen to see if we could make a version of In a Little While which would follow the same pattern that we had for Your Blue Room. In a Little While has become important to the show as it touches on the space theme, but very much from the perspective of the human separation. One of the most surprising things about meeting the astronauts and seeing into their world was coming to understand how much their world struggles to balance the two sides of the coin - on the one hand dealing with these very high profile, high budget ventures, but on the other the cost to home and family life. It's exactly the same dichotomy that we mere mortals face in coming on a big rock tour like this, so we've found a lot of empathy with them.
Frank de Winne is the commander of the International Space Station and has already shot a few things for us up there and agreed to do one more piece for us with him reciting the last verse of In a Little While. Apparently they've had a busy week up on the ISS, so we weren't sure if Frank would be able to find the time for another bout of home movie making, but at 10pm this evening the footage came through. It too appears to be in some peculiar video format (well, it did come from space, so fair enough, I suppose) so the whole thing needed reformatting before it was usable.
Whilst the computers were grinding away we went down the road to Barney's Beanery for a late bite. The place was absolutely jumping and the pool tables are back. It's funny, we've been coming to this place for decades and watched it go variously in and out of fashion. There were pool tables in the 80's (I seem to remember nights in here on The Joshua Tree tour with Mickey Rourke) then I guess pool fell from favour for a while. They're back now though, along with a very great number of plasma screen TVs which all seemed to be tuned to different stations. Still, it was what we needed, a bit of noise and human interaction after staring at computer screens for days.

moment of surrender
hi willie! been to las vegas and rose bowl concerts and as usual it was awesome but i've noticed the grinding sound from the song moment of surrender didn't sound too good live esp on big venues like these. i looked around and alot of people had a little frown some covered their ears as they got turned off by such an annoying sound, i felt bad for my fave band, i expected the sound people to catch it but apparently they didn't. Pls try to tell Bono or anybody to check what i've observed. try to be just a listener like us and youll find out what i'm saying. i love u2

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

The Show: Hakan Yildirim
Where: The Dairy, Wakefield Street
The Scene: Chilled out and fun fashion heaven - there are some seriously big names walking here today, Lara Stone, Natalia Vodianova, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik and the list goes on... All the girls are having their clothes fitted and doing test walks. Still a team of people adding finishing touches to the clothes on sewing machines.
Overheard: Lara talking about her upcoming wedding...
The Look: Lucia Pieroni told us that this collection is full of super short hemlines, hence they wanted a simple, uniform quite androgynous beauty look. Makeup is about highlighting and shape. Brows are being bleached out and an edgeless smokey taupe eye created with MAC Copperplate. Lips are erased nude mouth and forget mascara for this look! White matte eyeshadow is being generously applied as a fabulous highlighter. Meanwhile hairstylist Luigi is conjuring up a look that is part masculine, part feminine and with texture a plenty. Hair is parted strongly down the middle as is graphic, shiny and almost wet look on the top, while the rear section is formed of soft luxurious waves created with John Frieda Volume Mousse and a one inch tong. These girls are strong but feminine modern goddesses.
How to tip: Luigi tells us that putting mousse through the lengths of the hair and blow drying as normal adds a wonderful high- shine finish.
Hero Products: MAC Face and Body Foundation, MAC Eyeshadow in Copperplate, John Frieda Frizz Ease and Luxurious Volume Mousse.

"China's Questionable Economic Power"
Op-Ed, Today's Zaman
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"China holds dollars that it receives from its exports to America, while the US, by keeping its market open to Chinese products, helps to generate growth, employment, and stability in China. Yes, China could bring the US economy to its knees by dumping its dollars, but not without taking a serious hit itself."

"Western Strategy for a Declining Russia"
Op-Ed, Gulf News
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"Some of Russia's opponents may welcome the country's decline on the grounds that the problem will eventually solve itself, but that will be shortsighted. A century ago, the decline of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires proved highly disruptive to the international system. A gradual decline, like that of ancient Rome or 18th-century Spain, is less disruptive than a rapid one, but ultimately the best scenario would feature a recovering and rebalanced Russia over the next decade."

Op-Ed, The Huffington Post

"Europe Doesn't Necessarily Have to Lose from China's Rise"
Op-Ed, Daily Star
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"Though China is not attempting to upend the global order, it is now undergoing a profound and destabilizing transformation. With the rise of transnational issues such as climate change, terrorism, pandemics, and cyber crime brought about by rapid technological progress and social change power is being diffused not among states, but among a wide range of non-governmental entities. Addressing these challenges will require broad international cooperation, with China, the U.S., and Europe each playing an important role."

"Barack Obama's Pragmatism Invites Uninformed, Partisan Criticism"
Op-Ed, Daily Star
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"But restraint is not isolationism. No one accused President Dwight Eisenhower of isolationism when he accepted a stalemate in the Korean War, refused to intervene at Dien Bien Phu, resisted recommendations from senior military officers regarding islands near Taiwan, watched the Red Army invade Hungary, or refused to back allies in the Suez Canal crisis. Nor did those who now disparage Obama's measured response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent annexation of Ukrainian territory call Bush an isolationist for his weak response to Putin's invasion of Georgia in 2008."

Op-Ed, Wall Street Journal
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor

The shale revolution changes that dependence and demonstrates the combination of entrepreneurship, property rights and capital markets that are this country's underlying strength."

"Safeguarding Cyberspace"
Op-Ed, New Europe
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"The governance challenge stems from the fact that cyberspace is a combination of virtual properties, which defy geographical boundaries, and physical infrastructure, which fall under sovereign jurisdictions. Control of the physical layer can have both territorial and extraterritorial effects on the virtual layers. At the same time, attacks can be launched from the low-cost virtual realm against the physical domain, where resources are scarce and expensive."

By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor and Kevin Rudd, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
"...[T]he best we can aim for is to revive the wisdom of the original Zhou-Tanaka formula. One way of doing this, as some have suggested, might be to declare the islands a maritime ecological preserve dedicated to the larger good of the region. There would be no habitation and no military use of the islands or the surrounding seas. Ideally, China and Japan would agree, but that may be unlikely in the current climate. Other mechanisms could be explored to produce the same end."

"Putin's Calculus"
Op-Ed, New Europe
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"...Obama's declaration that Russia is a regional power acting out of weakness, no less than Russia's suspension from the G-8, may have hit Putin where he is most vulnerable. His actions in Ukraine have undoubtedly brought Russia tangible gains in the short term. But they also imply less obvious costs. It remains to be seen whether Putin's bold move was worth it."

"1914 Revisited?"
Op-Ed, Today's Zaman
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
"But historical analogies, though sometimes useful for precautionary purposes, become dangerous when they convey a sense of historical inevitability. WWI was not inevitable. It was made more probable by Germany's rising power and the fear that this created in Great Britain. But it was also made more probable by Germany's fearful response to Russia's rising power, as well as myriad other factors, including human errors. But the gap in overall power between the US and China today is greater than that between Germany and Britain in 1914."

Though an initial report suggested Robert Griffin III had partially torn both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral cruciate ligament (LCL) in the world's-most-talked-about right knee, ESPN's Chris Mortensen now says sources are telling him the damage is in fact worse: Griffin actually sustained a total tear to both ligaments, and he will undergo reconstructive surgery in just a few hours.
Redskins QB Robert Griffin III will undergo total reconstruction of knee for complete tear of ACL and LCL. Recovery projection: 6-8 mos.— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) January 9, 2013

The good news? That six-to-eight month timetable does mean Griffin could be ready for September's season opener, provided he doesn't run into any setbacks.

The Chewelah Cougars played the Colville Indians last Friday in the annual 395 showdown in Colville. The Cougars broke a recent string of losses to the Indians on this evening, coming away with an impressive 45-21 victory.
Turnovers in an opening game loss to Deer Park were costly to the Cougars, but on this night, Chewelah kept ahold of the ball and turned three Colville turnovers into key scoring drives.
Though recent strong winds havenŌĆÖt been much to brag about in terms of breaking any records, that hasnŌĆÖt stopped the weather from posing a threat to local homeowners and fire districts.
Smoke from lightning-sparked fires in areas of Central and Eastern Washington shrouded the skies over the Colville Valley last Sunday evening and Monday morning, causing some residents to experience discomfort from smoke inhalation.

Indians move up to GNL
S-E Sports Editor
Colville High lost some key components off last NovemberŌĆÖs Class 1A state runner-up team, but the Indians certainly have enough left in the tank to make for an interesting reintroduction into the Class 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians will be led by third year varsity standout Kevin Carpenter. The junior finished eighth and got a spot on the podium at last NovemberŌĆÖs State 1A meet at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.
One of strongest-ever CHS teams
If Colville High were slotted where it belonged, back in the Northeast A League, the Indians would certainly be favorites to successfully defend the 1A championship they won last November in Yakima.
That said, the Indians, who return to the Class 2A Great Northern League this fall for a two-season run, will be a force to contend with in their old league. Under longtime coach Missy Bennett, entering her 27th season at the helm, Colville was always a power in the GNL.
Jeremiah Johnson leads Mustangs
Northport turned a few heads when they finished third in the Northeast 1B North division after being picked to finish in the basement of what, historically, has been the toughest eight-man football conference in Washington state.
Replicating that 6-5 record and the first playoff appearance by a Northport football team in the so-called ŌĆ£modern eraŌĆØ could be a difficult task in 2012. But veteran coach Don Fox, assisted once again by his son, Shane, has some solid holdover talent back.

Colville High will get its 2012 football season underway in a different fashion on Saturday.
The Indians, who will move up to Class 2A this fall and return to the Great Northern League for the two-year WIAA reclassification cycle, will open the season on Saturday, Sept. 1 against Freeman in the so-called WIAA Kickoff Classic at Eastern Washington University.
ItŌĆÖs the first time in memory that a CHS football game has started the season on a Saturday afternoon.

Movement 4: Finale: Presto
Track 7 on CDS44191/7 CD1 [14'03] 7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
This symphony … originated in the thought that the old composers (such as Haydn for instance) had the wonderful advantage of knowing exactly whom they were writing for. Haydn could see the faces of nearly all who would be listening to his next symphony … this is something the present-day composer can rarely enjoy—he can't often say to himself as he works 'I can just see old So-and-So's face when this bit hits him!' or 'Must watch old Whatsisname when this happens!' It's hard for him to visualize even the sea of faces in a large concert hall, and on the radio it all seems to evaporate into thin air. So I got the idea of asking my old friend the late painter Anthony Dorrell what sort of symphony he'd like to hear, and then trying to oblige him. We had similar views on life and music, and he was intensely musical, so this seemed a reasonable proposition. At first he was startled, and naturally enough wanted time to think. But soon he came back with a few suggestions.
He thought of a symphony in two halves, two movements in each, with the only break in the middle. The second movement was to be some kind of scherzo, and the third a strongly elegiac slow movement reacting against a sense of menace in the first part of the symphony. About the finale he couldn't be too precise, though it was to be fast and energetic.
The eighth proved to be Simpson's most formidable symphony to date. It is scored for a very large orchestra containing triple woodwind plus E flat clarinet, four each of horns, trumpets and trombones, two tubas, two sets of timpani, plus percussion and strings. Although the work includes some of the toughest and most virtuosic orchestral writing in any Simpson symphony (particularly in the Finale), it nonetheless demonstrates the entire range of his symphonic language, showing a profundity of thought equalled by few of his contemporaries.
The two parts of the symphony adopt complementary processes. In Part I, the 'sense of menace' of which Anthony Dorrell spoke is felt to infiltrate the opening movement 'Poco animato'. The Scherzo, 'Minaccioso', enters at the point of greatest intensity, when the menace has fully invaded the music. Part II opens with one of Simpson's severest slow fugues which, as it progresses, allows space for calmer episodes. Each time the calmer music intervenes it expands. The tempo changes to Presto and a crescendo leads to the Finale which is propelled by a fast energetic momentum. As the composer has commented, … its energy has nothing to do with romantic triumph … it is simple energy, and energy can be used for good or ill'.
A tiny motif on piccolo sets the symphony in motion. Much of the argument seems to grow out of the woodwind figure presented in the opening bars: a rocking major second, often with the note in the middle of that interval sustained. This gentle dissonance hints at the enormous upheavals that are to occur later in the symphony. Initially, the amiable, rather pastoral atmosphere pervades the music for some time. The gentle contrapuntal movement continues, and the orchestral texture remains quite chamber-like and transparent. The first interjections heard on brass provoke a nervous triplet pattern on the strings, whilst the woodwinds attempt to continue singing in long, expressive lines. Tension mounts still further as the tempo quickens, the triple-time pulse becomes increasingly threatened by duple figures, and the violent outbursts from brass escalate. Eventually something is forced to give way and, at the point of greatest ferocity, the music literally collapses to reveal a series of quivering, sinister oscillating tritone figures. This point marks the beginning of the Scherzo, 'Minaccioso'.
The Scherzo unleashes some of Simpson's darkest and most explosive music. Four times a plaintive oboe melody (sometimes doubled by cellos) attempts to assert itself, but each time it stimulates a hostile reaction from different sections of the orchestra. The major seconds heard at the start of the symphony are applied here to conjure ominous repeated figurations and craggy dissonant clusters. The final appearance of the oboe tune draws forth the most mighty eruption yet heard in the work with full brass and the two timpani very much to the fore. But suddenly the climax breaks up, as if all energy were spent, and an insistent E quickly silences all the activity until it descends to the lowest depths of the orchestra amid distant strokes on the bass drum.
Part II unfolds with an Adagio. It opens with an austere, highly impassioned fugue announced fortissimo on violins where rising seconds and leaping octaves are prominent. Like the fugues found in Nielsen's symphonies (the slow movements of Nos 4 and 6, for example), the contrapuntal texture is subservient to the necessity for symphonic growth. The first contrasting calm episode is intoned gently on stopped horns and answered by oboe accompanied by trombones. These episodes, full of evocative sonorities, are all delicately scored, and on each occasion expand while the stressful periods get compressed. The last calm episode leads directly into the Finale via a fully-orchestrated crescendo.
The Presto Finale displays a rough, athletic exuberance, with most of the principal ideas gravitating from the leaping figure on violins heard at the peak of the crescendo. This melody is derived from the corresponding figure in the Adagio's fugue subject. Another important idea which assumes increasing significance as the Presto proceeds is a sequence of descending fifths, sometimes striding over two complete cycles of fifths. In the final stages the metre tightens from 12/8 to 9/8, from 3/4 to 2/4, and finally broadens again to 3/4. Four unison hammer-blows conclude the symphony, emphatically affirming the tonal centre of G. Simpson's Symphony No 8 is published by Faber Music Ltd.

For the most part your setup didn't look too bad. A couple of things though.
1) You really don't need as many hybrid gems/socket matching as you have. As long as your meta is ok, stam in everything is usually a safe bet (maybe a 12 stam socket bonus like in your helm is ok - but not the pants).
2) Cloak enchant should be 225 armor. Glyph of cleaving really isn't ideal, but if you are primarily doing heroics i GUESS it could work.
3) Vigilance should always go on a dps, if add tanking is your problem then preferably your best AoE dps.
4) I have no idea what your priority looks like, but generally SS -> Rev - > Dev while spamming HS/Cleave is pretty solid. In the event of a multiple mob pack, Shockwave -> Tclap -> Rev -> SS -> Dev. Once again, very general.
5) Know the mobs you're tanking. if you know it's a pull with 2 casters (and x melee mobs), try charging/shield bashing one to start the pull and Heroic throw the other to silence it and force it to come to you.
6) Get a new shield ;-)
That's really all I can give you without actually seeing you tank. Hopefully you find it helpful.

Undergraduate Student Orientation
To provide newly enrolled undergraduate students with the skills, knowledge and understandings that they need to succeed at Excelsior College and to take full advantage of the resources that are available to them, Excelsior College requires newly enrolled undergraduate students to receive an orientation to the College. Different groups of students will be either required or strongly encouraged to take one of a small number of options to satisfy this requirement. These orientations are designed to help the students acclimate to Excelsior College and improve student persistence. Students enrolling with 9 credits or less will be directed to take a more extensive credit-bearing orientation course, i.e. CCS 120 EC Student Success Seminar, CCS 112 Success Strategies For Military And Veterans or ENG 101N: Composition for the Nursing Professional.
Students will be informed which orientation course they should take. All students will have access to CCS 100 EC Student Experience throughout their enrollment.
Undergraduate students who enroll in any academic program at Excelsior College must receive some kind of orientation to the College. This requirement may be met in a variety of ways as outlined below. (Graduate students will be provided the opportunity to complete an orientation but will not be held to the same standard as undergraduate students given their demonstrated academic achievement.)
CCS 100: Student Experience
All Excelsior College students (undergraduate, graduate and certificates) will be given access to CCS 100 upon enrollment. The course will be available to them throughout their enrollment. Most newly enrolled undergraduate students are either required or encouraged to take CCS 100 unless the student has completed 9 or less credits prior to enrollment or does not have internet access. No tuition is charged for this self-paced, non-credit, online orientation. The course is divided into two sections-general and degree specific. The course is designed to take 9 to10 hours for the student to complete. The general section is required and the student will take a pass/fail test at the end of the general section. The student can take the final until passed with no academic consequences. The course relies on engaging activities and multimedia to include the student as an active participant in the learning process to understand how to access and maximize the use of student resources at Excelsior. The degree specific module will focus on the student's program of choice.
CCS 112: Success Strategies for Military and Veterans
Prerequisite: Must be a veteran, active duty servicemember, military transitioner, or servicemember in reserve or guard components.

The OCEAN2012 coalition was created in 2009 to support a fundamental reform of the European Union's Common Fisheries Policy, or CFP. It was launched by The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Coalition for Fair Fisheries Arrangements, the Fisheries Secretariat, the new economics foundation and Seas At Risk, which were later joined on its Steering Group by Ecologistas en Acción.
Within five years, the coalition grew to 193 member groups in 24 EU member states and beyond. The coalition included fishermen's organisations, leading marine scientists, development agencies, environmental non-governmental organisations, aquaria, consumer and development organisations, restaurants, and groups that shared an interest in sustainable fisheries.
Thanks to them, OCEAN2012 was able to muster considerable support for a fundamental CFP reform. In May 2013, with a groundswell of public support, European legislators took a huge step towards ending overfishing by agreeing that most EU fish stocks would be fished sustainably by 2015 and all stocks by 2020. That December, the European Parliament adopted the agreement, and it came into force on 1 January 2014.
On 28 January 2014, a political deal was reached among the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Greek EU Presidency, on behalf of the European Council, on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, or EMFF, the EU fisheries subsidies regime designed to support implementation of the CFP. The EMFF agreement included allocating greater funding for improved data collection, control, and enforcement.
After several years of concerted campaigning to achieve its goals, OCEAN2012 has wound up its work. However, the battle against overfishing is far from over. Now that the CFP has been reformed, it must be implemented effectively.
To find the 193 organisations that made up OCEAN2012 and continue to advocate for sustainable fisheries, go to the About Us page.

European Union Closes Loopholes in Shark Finning Ban
Following years of debate around the need to close loopholes in the 2003 European Union ban on shark finning—the wasteful practice of slicing off a shark's fins and discarding the body at sea—the EU finally adopted a regulation Thursday requiring that all sharks be brought to port with their fins naturally attached.

European Parliament Votes at Last for Stronger Shark Finning Ban
STRASBOURG - The Shark Alliance welcomes the European Parliament's vote to close loopholes in the European Union ban on shark finning, the practice of slicing off a shark's fins and discarding the body at sea. After years of debate, 566 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted in favor of a report endorsing the European Commission's proposal to require that fins be left naturally attached...

Turn an inexpensive place mat (perhaps a spare from your dining set) into a fun and functional clutch purse with this great tutorial. This easy sewing project makes a great, quick gift.
I enjoy crating crafts out of already existing things. It must be the Maria Von Trap in me – ripping down curtains to make dresses for the children. I enjoy using bed sheets, pillow cases, dishtowels and other materials to create. It helps you to look at things in a whole new way and cuts down on waste when you repurpose what you have. Not to mention save money!
For this craft you want a stiff placemat - one that can fold and bend but will be sturdy enough to carry your things. Last thing you want is all your things falling out and all over the place. The good thing about a clutch you make your self is that you can decide how big you want the pouch to be. You can fold everything evenly or you can have your flap be a little smaller so you can carry more – that is what I did.
OK – Here we go:

Youth and Work
As we move into the information age of the 21st century, developing and maintaining employability has become more crucial than ever before. Every individual must exercise greater initiative and responsibility for career planning. What is more, fostering individual employability at an early age has become a major challenge for business and society. This is especially true wherever serious obstacles hinder the process of helping young people enter the world of work and integrating them into changing job markets.
Our young people are the future personified Everyday life and the world of work are changing at breakneck speed, and all of us — regardless of age, stage of life, skills or work environment — are caught up in the whirlwind. Demographic change, technological development and globalization have altered the demands and structures of the workplace and quite often of our personal lives as well. Individual responsibility and self-initiative — the ability to organize our own lives — have become essential prerequisites for successful and meaningful career planning.
Young people, in particular, must rise to this challenge. They must learn to take responsibility early on for their education and training, their future careers and their own lives. To do this, they need a sound general education as along with adequate career training that conveys the skills and tools essential for on the job learning throughout the course of a lifetime.
Both families and the educational system must take responsibility for laying this groundwork and helping young people make the transition to the working world. But the consequences of demographic change mean that greater responsibility must also now be assumed by the business community and other economic actors: across the board, they must view human capital as an asset and an investment in the future while helping activate the potential young people have to offer, nurturing their talents and supporting those who are disadvantaged as they enter the workplace.

TSA apologizes to family
John Aaron, WTOP reporter
WASHINGTON - The Transportation Security Administration apologized to a Missouri family after detaining a 3-year-old disabled girl and telling her mother it was illegal to videotape the incident.
TSA agents at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport detained the wheelchair-bound girl earlier this month to pat her down, X-ray her stuffed animal Lamby and swab down her wheelchair.
The child, who has Spina bifida, sobbed as the agents took away her stuffed animal.
When mom Annie Forck began videotaping what was going on, a TSA agent told her it was illegal to do so.
"TSA regrets inaccurate guidance was provided to this family during screening and offers its apology," a TSA spokesman told Fox News.
"We are committed to maintaining the security of the traveling public and strive to treat all passengers with dignity and respect."
The child's father, Nathan Forck, told Fox News the family of five on their way to Disney World had already gone through a TSA checkpoint when the child was singled out for screening. The dad said TSA told the family the child was singled out because she was in a wheelchair.
As the little girl cried, Annie Forck explained to the TSA agent that she did not allow anyone touch her daughter.
After discussing what to do, agents did not pat down the child.
The ordeal lasted about a half-hour.
Here's the video the family posted on YouTube:

Focus your attack with the Super-X ring.
Aquarian Super-2 Coated Drumheads with Super-X muffling ring have great attack, projection, and depth unlike any other drumheads. The patented Aquarian Safe-T-Loc hoop prevents the drumhead from slipping and the Sound Curve collar design provides "Responsive Tuning." With Responsive Tuning, one turn of the drum key and Aquarian Super-2 drumheads react. Aquarian includes a tuning sheet with each Super-2 clear drumhead with SX ring.

Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
These are my new favorites for my DW maple toms...full tone & quick decay on both the 10" & 15" toms. The 15" tom has always been a beast, ringing forever, and this head really seems like it was made for this drum, no additional muffling necessary... I do a lot of home recording, and these heads sound great mic'd, just the right amount of attack & tone...Nice job Aquarian!
Best Uses
Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
these two-ply heads have a built in dampening ring.This cuts the overtone and gives a fat deep sound with a short sustain. The ring is on the underside of the bottom (inside) ply and it makes the heads somewhat tough to tune. It is hard to get a true tone as you go around the tuning pegs because the ring makes it so "dead".
Kind of like tuning a snare head with the internal damper cranked up.
once in tune they do sound good on my gigging set, which has birch shells.
i had Aquarian performance 2's on before, and these super 2's with the ring have the same fat sound, but with less sustain. The decay is linear, so they dont sound unnaturally muffled or dead.
Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
I have been a user of Aquarian Drum Heads exclusively for the past 7 years and have tried several different styles in that time.I eventually settled on the Performance II's for all my tom tom needs...UNTIL I recently tried Their Super 2's. These heads have the Sound I have always been looking for in a Tom Tom Head. They are simply Amazing.I prefer a Deep,Loose Tuning and these heads fit that bill perfectly.The SX Ring on the underside eliminates the need for ANY additional dampening of the head. I would have given them a Higher score in the "Value" area but I felt they were a bit Pricey compared to some of their other lines, but worth it none the less! They Mic up really nice without a need to over EQ the drum.
Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
I tried these as a result of reading the "Search is over" review and He's right on the money! I'm a 57yr. old who always liked the coated heads but for the toms the super 2 clear w/ring are beautiful. It brings out a beautiful drum sound without too much if any "plastic-ee" sound! Personally I want to thank the persons well said review that helped me find this "new inspiration" for my playing!! I have the 10,12 14 and 16" and all great... now going for the 18". I'm not sure if these are available in coated? But if not that's O.K. with me! God Bless my fellow drummers and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Music is love....love is music!!!!
Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
At first I thought Aquarian were cheap, maily becuase of price, but then I picked some up for one of my kits. I was blown away at how great they sounded. These and the Performance series are the best tom heads out there. There is little over tone, when tuned properly, and they give such a great sound. I tried everything from Evans to Remo, all diffrent heads 1 and 2, and these are now my number 1 choice and recommendation. Go to a store and hear them if you are skeptical, you will then buy them.
Comments about Aquarian Super-2 Clear Drumhead with SX Ring:
Looking for the "perfect" tom head? If you have been looking for a head that combines all the best aspects of other heads,... this may be it!I've tried the Performance 2, Response 2, G2, EC2, Emperor, and host of others. This head stands alone. These are what we hoped the Performance 2 would be. These heads actually sing like an EC2 without any of the weird overtones and the decay is perfect. All I can say is they have transformed my kit into an ultra pro set of drums,.. really a joy to play. The attack and projection seem good and they are very warm sounding. I'll be ordering a 16" and 18" for my floor toms as well, after hearing what they did for my 13" ride tom!! If you prefer a lot of sustain, ringing out in your toms, these may not be for you. If you like round, warm sounding toms with a defined pitch,.. go for it,.. I don't think you will regret it!

Apple files 'in your face' iPhone patent
Apple has applied for a patent that describes a pair of goggles into which you can slip your iPhone or iPod touch to view images or video, optionally in 3D. That is, if we're not being punk'd by such a distinguished agency as the US Patent and Trademark Office on April Fools' Day. We're not saying that the USPTO is staffed by …
clever idea but
I think big hoax. The screen width of my ipod Touch is barely 5mm wider than the gap between my pupils. Lots of info in the area above my nose but nothing to the left or right.
Unless of course a new slimmer, but longer iPod/phone is in the offing.
There must be some optical solution
Disregarding the screen size, a regular human (unless he's very, very short-sighted) can't focus on the display this close to the eye. therefore, some sort of optical adapter (thin-film or diffraction optics) must be placed to allow focusing (unless this is, indeed, an april fool's patent).
Such optical adapter may also be used to optically extend and separate the display halves.
Note to Reg: if Apple has indeed forgotten to add the lens, please consider this post as prior art.
mine is the one with dual-cowon-D2 goggles in the pocket.
I hope this was an April fools joke, because it's crazy.
For a system like this to work, your eyes would have to be able to focus down to 4cm or less. Last time I checked, most people's close focus peters out around 10cm or more. My own close focus is 15cm. 10cm isn't close enough to prevent the left eye from seeing the right half of the screen.
Now optics could possibly solve this, except for one thing.... any optic used would magnify the pixels, and the frame resolution per eye would be rather small - hardly enough to render movies like Avatar in any decent quality. The field of view would also be greatly reduced. Some people would experience eye fatigue from staring at the LCD that close.
3D Shutter glasses and the iphone would make more sense. Another idiotic Apple patent.
if only the pranksters could read ...
Wann, J.P. and Mon-Williams, M. (1997) Health issues with virtual reality displays: what we do know and what we don't. ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 31 (2). pp. 53-57.
Virgence and accommodation problems anyone?
I smell law suits.
Seems unlikely
Maybe they're thinking waaaaay down the line in terms of tech? Which, now-a-days may not actually be that far down the line in terms of years... Patent an accessory for something that hasn't been invented yet, and then wait for it to be invented.
It's been done.
And I suspect this isn't the first: http://hackaday.com/2009/10/27/head-mounted-computer-with-spit-bailing-wire/
More tasteful device used there as well.
Looks prior art enough to me...
Of course, the patent office never looks at hackers sites.
Sony Walkman To Apple Stumbleman ?
No it's not a hoax. It is cutting edge Technology that is merely stupid.
As the Twenty-Somethings reach their Golden Years (i.e. cop to being Early-Thirty-Somethings), they will no doubt adopt some more couch-potatoly pursuits. So, this may be a smart move on Apple's part. Hey! Hear you went Bungee Jumping while on Safari. What did that feel like ? Well, you know I had already seen Avitar three times, but at least I had a few extra battery packs ...
If Paper Clips were under Patent, the Legal Eagles at Apple would be working on "Techniques for the Insertion of Bundles of Thin Layers of Cellulose Containing Materials into Bent Wire".
Obvious question.
As the iPhone is the inveterate willy-waver's penis substitute du jour, what sort of person goes around with one strapped to their head?
...and I thought I'd seen the worst yesterday, when I saw some dude driving while using BOTH hands to drive his QWERTY mobile phone.... and leaving no hands, as well as no attention, for the task of controlling his vehicle.
Now these idiots can have 100% of their field of view obstructed by their fecking iPhones. Thanks to a screen, which, as pointed out above, will be 100% unuseable because it's out of focus*. Oh well, at least the glassestards will be easy to spot, thanks to the notch they have sawn into their noses.
* Unless the moron in question has superhuman ocular accommodation, in which case they'll just have a blinding migraine.
something like this?
Panavision version
Can this be done with an iPad? I'm looking forward to viewing Imax movies (after I complete my course of neck-strength exercises) with it.
Pull on the iShades, put in the ear plugs, you know where to put the cork.
I guess from the second diagram that a new iPhone will be released for these glasses, one with a sharpened bottom edge so it can be rammed through the bridge of the nose?
I guess this is Apple's way of relieving the excessive weight of a complete phone being rested on your nose. Remove the nose and spread the load out onto the cheek bones.
Internal, not External
I'd rather see a patent for a slot in the side of my head so I can have the iPhone BEHIND my eyes. Also means I don't have to wear the silly looking glasses.
Cease and desist
Hoax or not, I claim to have invented this... http://bit.ly/9Npm3s so I'll be going after some of that Apple cash mountain...just as soon as I can find a no-win-no-fee patent lawyer.
could be a prevantative measure
Maybe they don't want any device like this built ever .. so they patent it.
Peril Sensitive Sunglasses
Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.
Sorry, no...
Oooh, it plugs into a iWhatever. Oooh.
Apple, look, learn: http://www.arm.com/markets/embedded/kopin-corporation-golden-i-hands-free-wireless-computing.php
You may laugh now...
but this patent seems to be so broad that it would cover any device that could be used in your hands and then form part of an immersive, goggles based device.
Current iPod, iPhone etc are a bit big, but a couple of generations down the line (whether produced by Apple or not) they might be thin and light enough for this. Imagine a phone/games tablet that is also light enough to stick over your eyes on the plan/train - could be a good seller.

We started using SK during naxx, and ran into similar problems with offspecs and minor upgrades/sidegrades. Everyone was holding onto their spot in the list for KT loot.
After a few weeks of filling up the Gbank with crystals, once most of our regular raiders were geared up, we went back to our old free roll/pass if you won and the other guy hasn't. We kept SK list for all the 226 ILVL stuff (Maly/KT/Sarth2D) and started a new SK list for ulduar25. Worked pretty well and people were able to gear up and still not fear losing their needed piece off KT/Maly by taking some tiny upgrade.
As for offspec, we never Suicided people for it, but had to use some common sense. The mage and warlock who kept whispering me "offspec" got politely told where they could shove it.
Also, we never split between tier/non-tier loot, not sure about that part. But good luck, hope our experiences help.

Epididymitis is swelling (inflammation) of the epididymis, the tube that connects the testicle with the vas deferens.
Epididymitis is most common in young men ages 19 - 35. It is a major cause of hospital admissions in the military.
Epididymitis is usually caused by the spread of a bacterial infection from the urethra, prostate, or the bladder. The most common infections that cause this condition in young heterosexual men are gonorrhea
and chlamydia
. In children and older men,E. coli and similar infections are much more common. This is also true in homosexual men.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) can cause epididymitis. Other bacteria (such as Ureaplasma) may also cause the condition.
Another cause of epididymitis is the use of a medication called amiodarone, which prevents abnormal heart rhythms.
The following increase the risk for epididymitis:
Epididymitis may begin with a low-grade fever
, chills, and a heavy sensation in the testicle area. The area becomes more and more sensitive to pressure.
Other symptoms include:
Physical examination shows a red, tender, and sometimes swollen lump (mass) on the affected side of the scrotum. Tenderness is usually in a small area of the testicle where the epididymis is attached.
There may be enlarged lymph nodes
in the groin area (inguinal nodes), and a discharge from the penis. A rectal examination may show an enlarged or tender prostate.
These tests may be performed:
It is important to distinguish this condition from testicular torsion
. Testicular torsion is an emergency and should be treated with surgery as soon as possible.
Your health care provider will prescribe medications to treat the infection. Sexually-transmitted infections require specific antibiotics. Your sexual partners should also be treated. You may need pain medications and anti-inflammatory medications.
The treatment for epididymitis caused by the medication amiodarone is a lower dose or change in the medication.
Bed rest, while elevating the scrotum
and applying ice packs to the area, is recommended. It is very important to have a follow-up visit with your health care provider to find out whether the infection has gone away completely.
Epididymitis usually gets better with antibiotic treatment. There usually is no reduction in sexual or reproductive abilities. However, the condition may return.
If not treated, or in some other cases, the condition can become long-term (chronic). In chronic cases, there is usually no swelling, but there is pain.
Complications include:
Acute pain in the scrotum is a medical emergency. It needs to be checked out by a health care provider immediately.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of epididymitis. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have severe testicle pain suddenly or after an injury.
You can prevent complications from epididymitis by getting diagnosed early, and by treating any infections.
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics before a surgery that increases the risk for epididymitis. Practicing safe sex (having intercourse with only one partner at a time, using condoms) may help prevent epididymitis caused by sexually-transmitted diseases.
