Friday, June 13: Freed Up by Friedlander
For tens of thousands of people, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas started Saturday evening with the Lailah Hathaway/Ruben Studdard concert on New Haven Green. For a few hundred, it began 24 hours earlier at a low-key jazz cello concert-cum-slide show during a pre-fest "Kick-Off Gala."
Friedlander's under-an-hour exhibit of sultry sounds and black-and-white images calmly fit all the thematic needs of A&I 2014.
The festival's announced theme this year is "transformation and tradition," but "transportation" could be added to that mix. Friedlander's Block Ice and Propane was inspired by family trips he was dragged along in as a child, six weeks a year of summer highway driving in a makeshift camper van with his mother, sister and his famous photographer father, Lee Friedlander. (The older Friedlander's celebrated pictures of American jazz legends are currently on display at the Yale Art Gallery.)
A&I patrons and sponsors came to the Iseman Theater Friday cooing about the key lime pie they'd just had at a gala party in Yale's Beinecke Library. They calmed down considerably for Friedlander's concert, which was moody and cerebral despite its summery sensibility. Friedlander seldom touches a bow to his cello; he prefers to pluck and strum, urging out literally vibrant notes that have sound warm and open yet also isolated and refined.
Many in the audience were dressed to the nines, but Friedlander was an artist of the black T-shirt and unpressed gray suit-pants variety. He travels with less gear than do many jazz musicians who play New Haven clubs: a small amp and standing microphone for his otherwise unelectrified cello (a fancy carbon fiber model which allows for myriad rapid special-tunings). He's got a laptop to monitor the giant projected photos (by his father, naturally) which backdrop his playing. The images are massive, and Friedlander's music set-up is sparse, but it's the instrumental tunes which are center stage. Though he's also known as an improviser and a composer of film soundtracks, Friedlander doesn't noodle or fade into the background for this autobiographical excursion. He plays structured songs he's composed, and breaks them up with anecdotes about those emotionally loaded family road trips. The punchlines of the anecdotes invariably become the titles of the next songs. Friedlander's not showy. There's a folksiness to Block Ice and Propane, but also a New Yorker magazine intellectuality and reserve. He's not at all showy. In fact, when telling his tales of childhood, you can see his leg quiver with nervousness.
One of the storied had Friedlander's short-tempered dad repeatedly screaming at a waiter: "Well, who the hell wants cold chicken?" That led to an instrumental titled "Cold Chicken," and also to this comment from a guy seated behind me in the audience: "I like cold chicken."
Saturday June 14: Lemon Flavored
My daughters and their friend Emma were the first in line when Box City opened on the Green at noon. They were the settlers, the hardy pioneers of this year's cardboard metropolis. They constructed homes and businesses out of boxes, then (and this is where Box City really reflects New Haven values) have to apply for zoning permits to place their buildings on the cityscape which rapidly forms within the Box City tent. Once permits are in hand, sensible zoning guidelines are promptly are ignored, and the kids erect their houses, hotels or (in the case of my daughter Mabel) restaurant-boats wherever the hell they want to.
Box City was one of the first events happening on the Green. At noon, other areas were still being readied. There was a sound check on the Elm Street stage, and crew members were still fixing the tarpaulin "walls" of the off- limits-to-the-public section around the stage. Dozens of people had already laid out blankets and lawn chairs for the Lalah Hathaway/Ruben Stoddard concert happening seven hours later.
There was one big crowd on the Green before noon, for an event which showed how much the International Festival of Arts & Ideas has morphed into a local community festival. It was an awarded presentation for the city youth soccer league.
I tested the volunteers at the info booth for the first time today, and they failed. I needed to know if they had a detailed description of one of the Yale Institute For Music Theatre shows. They started to look in one of the little A& I guidebooks which were printed weeks ago and were compiled before the YIMT shows' titles were even known. I tried to explain that, but they were curt: "Yes, it's in here."
Around 25 years ago, when I was briefly a staffer at the City of New Haven Department of Cultural Affairs, one of my jobs was to call sponsors of events on the Green and explain to them that, no, they couldn't put huge banner ads for their companies onstage. Advertising of any kind, we made clear, was not permitted on the Green.
To my memory, it was the city's own Jazz Festival and Summer Concerts on the Green series rather than the International Festival of Arts & Ideas which first trod the slippery slope of allowing a banner with sponsor's names (but not logos, old-NPR style) to be hung behind performances. The argument was obvious: if you sponsor an event, you want people to know you've sponsored it. Deep-pocket sponsors are hard to find; why downplay their help?
Still, Green aesthetes warned that this would lead to grander and bolder ads. "Tut, tut" was the implied reply. But indeed, when you gave the sponsors an inch, they took the Green. Bigger, logo-emblazoned banners emerged. Then "info" booths with free Frisbees and such.
Which led inevitably to this: a Ford automobile showroom on New Haven Green, with half a dozen cars parked on the otherwise well-cared-for common land, and incessant amplified announcements of how the swarm of car salespeople there could "find the best Ford for you."
Where's Occupy New Haven when you need them?
I spent too much time on Saturday afternoon wandering around the Green wondering where the tent for the clown show was going to be. Turns out there isn't one. I'd arranged my tickets for Ile O, by French circus theater troupe Barosolo, without realizing that it was an outdoor show. The tix are for special seating near the stage (kind of like what the festival does with the roped-off area for the evening Green concerts). I haven't seen Barosolo yet, but one of my kids did, and when she learned I had tickets for Sunday, she told me exactly where to sit. Turns out she's picked me seats exactly where the splashing from this waterlogged entertainment is most intense.
The Yale Institute for Music Theatre started five years ago. The program, administered by the Yale School of Drama, workshops new musicals. Only works by "emerging" composers are considered; YIMT's goal is to help young composers and lyricists who are just getting started on their careers. (Many are recent graduates of music theater graduate programs at NYU and Columbia). At Yale, two new musicals are chosen each year to get rewritten, reworked, revised and otherwise "put on their feet" by professional actors, directors, music directors and consultants. The culmination is a public "reading," where the show is performed script-in-hand with a piano score and no sets or props. YIMT provides the shows, and for most of the program's existence the International Festival of Arts & Ideas has provided the audiences.
To write actual reviews of these shows would be criminal. They have "work-in-progess" stamped all over them. Before the Saturday 1 p.m. reading of the post-apocalyptic (yet funny and jaunty) community-building saga Afterland, composer/lyricist Benjamin Velez and writer/lyricist Kathryn Hathaway explained that in the past two weeks they'd "rewritten the script several times and cut two songs," while YIMT Artistic Director Mark Brokaw (who directed the reading) noted that Saturday afternoon was "the first time doing the whole thing in order together."
YIMT shows come in all sizes, shapes and paces, but due to the fact that they're all written by "emerging" types in their 20s, they tend to share similar themes of self-discovery, coming-of-age, intergenerational strife and survival in the real world. With the festival's self-imposed theme of "Transformation and Tradition," Afterland was readymade for A&I 2014. So is the other YIMT show this year, a coming-of-age road-trip story called Clouds Are Pillows of the Moon by Tidtaya Sinutoke and Ty Defoe.
I've attended nearly every edition of the Yale Institute for Music Theatre, and love watching the developmental process in full flower: actors digging into roles nobody else has ever played, musicians (for Afterland it was pianist/music director Kimberly Grigsby and percussionist Shane Shane) finding the proper pace and volume and instrumental accents. Mostly I like sneaking peeks at a show's writers—it's fun to catch them mouthing the words silently to songs they wrote. They're the only ones in the audience who know what's coming next.
If you don't (didn't) see Lemon Andersen star in his signature longform performance piece County of Kings at the Yale University Theater Saturday or Sunday night, looks like it was your last chance. As of this writing, tickets are still available for the 5 p.m. Sunday performance at the Yale University Theatre, for as cheap as ten bucks. County of Kings deserves support as much for what Andersen lived through to create it as for how well-made and well-performed a show it is. Andersen is a confident, crafty actor. By design, this is a set piece of rehearsed, staged theater. But Lemon Andersen has a hip-hop artist's skill of spitting memorized verse as if it were natural and conversational. He also struts and gestures with realism and grace. When he mimes putting his arm around his brother or a friend, it's not an empty wave of his arm; you feel the warmth.
County of Kings is Andersen's own story, of a kid from Brooklyn whose mother dies of AIDS, whose other family members can be distant and neglectful, whose school days are fraught with bullying and misunderstanding. The tale gets even more dire, with drug-dealing and teenage fatherhood and a prison sentence. It's framed, however, with empowering experiences like Andersen finishing a 300-page book for the first time, getting up onstage tentatively for his first poetry jam, and (in the triumphant opening scene of the whole show) sharing the Tony Award for Special Theatrical Event as a cast member of the Broadway version of Def Poetry Jam.
In an interview last month at the Arts & Ideas offices, Andersen made abundantly clear that he was done as a performer. This despite having appeared in a couple of Spike Lee movies and recently studied Shakespearean acting at New York's Public Theater and performing County of Kings for years. He's a playwright now, and he's done his homework. He speaks of his fondness for the classics, and other master 20th century craftsmen such as Eugene O'Neill and Clifford Odets. He's also in touch with some of the edgiest writers of now. He's friends with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, the fiery playwright who'll have a world premiere at Yale Rep next season. His main theater collaborator is Elise Thoron, a Yale grad who directed County of Kings and also worked on Andersen's forthcoming project ToasT (which will premiere at the Public Theater next year).
Following his well-attended 5 p.m. Saturday performance of County of Kings, you could find Lemon Andersen at the Lalah Hathaway/Ruben Studdard on New Haven Green. During the day, the Green had been, ahem, transformed from a city park into something more closely resembling a concert stadium.
You could find just about everyone else there as well. The crowd was estimated by New Haven police to be around 40,000 people. That may well be a festival record—the only other A&I show that would seem to come close would be Little Richard back in 1998. Sure puts the lie to any carping that A&I is for some mythic group of elitist culture types. Last year, the fest set records for its ticketed shows, demonstrating the largest economic impact in its 19-year history. This year it's setting attendance records for its free shows.
The show itself belonged to Studdard. Hathaway did fine, but Studdard sang the most and moved the crowd the most, leading sing-alongs and making dynamic dramatic pauses that brought prolonged shouts and cheers and whoops and applause. His repertoire (some of which turned into duets with Hathways) ranged from Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" to "Superstar" by the New Haven-raised Karen & Richard Carpenter.
Studdard ruled, but he used Hathaway's touring band to do it. I knew Studdard only from his early American Idol days as a smooth-standards crooner, and was unprepared to see him front such a kick-ass band. The drummer was fast and propulsive, the bass deep and rich, the guitar versatile and fluid. It was the keyboardist who fascinated me most—he'd lugged along a Hammond Organ, with accompanying cabinet, but only used that gorgeous instrument for a few songs. He relied instead on a Yamaha Motif ES7 electric keyboard for most of the set. Curious choice. That Hammond, when he deigned to use it, raged. Here's a taste:

Yes, the Ford showroom is over the line. I hope A&I seriously rethinks it for next year.

WOW, the outdoor Ford Sculpture Exhibit is just crass commercial advertising. C'mon A&I, get with your mission!

I have pretty much every pair of Saxx underwear because guys like me need as much support as they can get. No joke the legs on these are long though, come to about 3 or 4 inches above my knee. The issue I have with them is that they don't really tapper in much at the bottom so now I have to do a lot more box jumps so that my thighs can fill out my underwear.

This is good news. Get him fully healthy by camp. But it kind of confirms woy's speculation of him playing hurt.
Yep, which is why I was more annoyed than worried with Locker's play at the end of the year. If he's playing like this into mid-season next year, then I'll be worrying.
the end of the football season is such a bummer. lots of people balk at the attention that free agency, the draft, mini-camps get but those fill the void a bit and instill that hopeful feeling.
Seriously lol. I at least got Notre Dame to root for but the end of the NFL season has sucked the past few years with the team performing like it has
heading to the Music City Bowl tomorrow. thought Vanderbilt deserved a better bowl but next season will the Sugar Bowl or BCS Championship so no biggie.
I for one am glad to see 'em in Seattle. Means I'll be able to watch 'em live for the first time since CJ earned his 2K nickname.
Well, Adams has confirmed that Munchak will get another opportunity to coach next season. However, GM Mike Reinfeldt has been fired.
RT @jwyattsports: Adams on Munchak: "I think he is the right guy to get the job done. He just needs the right people around him." #Titans
Bud has little regard for human life now. "He has two more years to go on his contract but I think we'd be better off without him," Adams said. "I don't think he was getting the job done. Mike Reinfeldt is out." I can't say I agree or disagree with the decision but at least Reinfeldt had some class on the way out.
In other news: Chick Fil A Bowl on ESPN right now. LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo is a certain possibility for the Titans if anyone wants to check him out
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/45762/on-bud-adams-mike-reinfeldt-and-peyton-manning This is actually a great article on everything going on so far. Cliffs: - Main reasoning for Reinfeldt's firing was missing out on Manning (speculation by Jim Wyatt) - Munchak wanted to be more active in free agency but was frustrated that Adams wanted to use all resources on Manning - Manning never really liked Palmer as OC, and as a big reason he gave up on Tennessee - Primary reason Palmer was OC at all was because of how Adams and Fisher dicked around with Fisher's future - Munchak missed out on the top notch coordinators and had to settle with Gray/Palmer (old acquaintances) I'm confused and hate everyone in this organization
Well, hopefully we get a competent defensive coordinator in addition to having a good draft and free agency.
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/45906/first-munchak-interview-is-for-qb-coach-job Interviewing for a QB Coach, looks like Loggains is the OC
Lot of notable head coaching candidates out there it seems. of course, the Titans' timing isn't good once again.
Wyatt said he expects Loggains to be the offensive coordinator next season. doesn't really get me excited.
More of Loggains next season? Bleh. He didn't do much to impress me, but then again he didn't have much time. I'll give him a chance, but still, bleh.
I'm just looking for something, anything, to get me to believe this team is moving forward, to get my dick hard. I think the entire fan-base feels like that. the draft will probably get me a semi, doe.
I wonder who is choosing these candidates to interview. If we're also taking next year off, it better be 2-14/3-13, none of this 5-11/6-10 crap!
Pfff. Games in Seattle are great. Saints @ Seahawks playoff game I was so drunk I got kicked off the train home.
Me refusing to get on the bandwagon does not equal me thinking their home games are bad. They probably have the best crowd in the league. The crowd was awesome when I watched the Titans @ the Seahawks in 2010 and that was when the Seahawks had a crappy team so it isn't surprising that opposing teams can't win there now.

Talk Title: Security Across the Soft
ware-Silicon Boundary
Talk Abstract:
The synergy between computer ar
chitecture and program analysis can reveal vital insights into the design o
f secure systems. The ability to control information as it flows through a
machine is a key primitive for computer security, however, software-only
analyses are vulnerable to leaks in the underlying hardware. In my talk, I
will demonstrate how complete information flow control can be achieved by
co-designing an analysis together with the processor architecture.
analysis technique, GLIFT, is based on the insight that all information
flows -- whether explicit, implicit, or timing channels -- look surprisin
gly alike at the gate level where assembly language descriptions crystalliz
e into precise logical functions. The architecture introduces Execution Lea
ses, a programming model that allows a small kernel to directly control th
e flow of all secret or untrusted information, and whose implementation is
verifiably free from all digital information leaks. In the future, my res
earch will use this cross-cutting approach to build systems that make secur
ity and privacy accessible to mainstream users while supporting untrusted a
pplications across cloud and client devices.

ExcerptCHAPTER 1
NEBRASKA NATIONAL FOREST HALSEY, NEBRASKA Dawson Hayes looked around the campfire and immediately recognized the losers. It was almost too easy to spot them. He could pretend he had some super radar in reading people, but the truth was he knew the losers because . . . what was that old saying? It takes one to know one. It wasn't that long ago that he would have been huddled over there with them, wondering why he had been invited, sweating and waiting to see what the price of the invitation was. He didn't feel sorry for them. They didn't have to show up. Nobody dragged them here. So anything that happened was sort of their own fault. Their price for wanting to be somebody they weren't. Admission to the cool club didn't come without some sacrifice. If they thought otherwise, then they really were hopeless losers. At least Dawson accepted who he was. Actually he didn't mind. He liked being different from his classmates and sometimes he played up the part, purposely wearing all black on football Fridays when everyone else wore school colors. Being the geek got him noticed, even garnered an eye roll from Coach Hickman, who before Dawson started wearing black on Fridays hadn't bothered to remember Dawson's name. At the beginning of the school year, during roll call for history class Coach would yell out "Dawson Hayes" and look around the entire room, over Dawson's head and sometimes straight at him. When Dawson raised his hand, Coach Hickman's eyebrows would dart up like the man would never in a million years have put a cool name like Dawson Hayes together with the pimpled face and the hesitant, skinny arm claiming it. Dawson didn't mind. He was finally starting to get noticed and it didn't matter how it came about. Even now he knew the only reason for his continued invitation to these exclusive retreats in the forest was because Johnny Bosh liked what Dawson brought to the party. Tonight that something was burning a hole in Dawson's jacket pocket. He tried not to think about it. Tried not to think how earlier he had lifted it--that's right, lifted, borrowed, not stolen--from his dad's holster while the man slept on his one night off. His dad probably wouldn't care as soon as he heard Dawson was hanging with Johnny B. Okay, that wasn't true. His dad would be pissed. But wasn't he always encouraging Dawson to make friends, go do stuff that other kids were doing? In other words, be a normal teenager for a change. Dawson thought that was part of his problem--he was too normal. He wasn't a superstar athlete like Johnny B or a tobacco-chewing cowboy like Trevor or a brainiac like Kyle, but just holding the Taser X26, with its lightweight, bright-yellow casing that fit perfectly in his hand, gave him a new identity and a sense of confidence. All he had to do was point and wham, there goes fifty thousand volts of electricity. And suddenly Dawson Hayes, the powerless, became powerful. He could control anyone and everyone. With this sleek piece of technology in the palm of his hand Dawson felt like he could do anything. Okay, maybe it wasn't just the Taser. Maybe the salvia had a little something to do with it. He'd been chewing his wad for about fifteen minutes and he could already feel the effect. That was just one of the highlights of tonight. Dawson looked for the camera hidden behind some low sweeping pine branches. Though it remained camouflaged he could see the green dot blinking only because he had helped Johnny set it up earlier, making sure the tripod blended in with the trees. No one else knew it was there. Being the geek in residence did have its advantages. Dawson glanced around at the campground. They had stomped out an area for themselves in a secluded part of the pine forest where they probably shouldn't have a frickin' campfire. Johnny B said no one could see them from the road or the lookout tower, though it didn't matter. Both would be vacant. On one side was an open field, a swell of tall rolling grass separated by a barbed-wire fence. On the other side was the thick beginning of ponderosa pine. About ten yards away the Dismal River snaked by. Dawson could hear the water tonight, just a whisper running over the rocks. They had left their vehicles about a quarter mile down in a deserted turnoff, a two-tire trail worn into the knee-high grass. They had to climb over a barbed-wire fence to enter the forest. The trek was only the first test of the night but Dawson thought it revealed quite a lot about tonight's guests. How they maneuvered and crawled over the sharp barbs showed just how capable they were. Whether they turned to help the next person get over or under the fence or if instead, they looked for assistance. Or worse, expected assistance. That was another thing about Dawson that made him different from other kids his age. He liked watching how people reacted to each other, to their surroundings, and especially to the unpredictable. His generation had become mindless zombies, mimicking and copying each other, caught up in their own little worlds of what is rather than what if. That was probably what interested him most about Johnny's experiments. There were only seven of them here tonight and yet they still grouped together in their cliques. Johnny was surrounded by the babes, Courtney and Amanda. Tonight even Nikki had inserted herself into the cool clique, which disappointed Dawson. He had hopes that Nikki would be better than that. All three girls looked like they were hanging on every one of Johnny's words, laughing and tossing their hair back then tilting their chins in that way girls do to show their interest. That was okay. Johnny was good at looking like it was his club, his party. Quarterback, homecoming king, he was charming but with just enough of a badass attitude that nobody challenged him. Being Johnny's friend was safer than being someone who annoyed him. Dawson wasn't quite sure why Johnny wanted the Taser. He didn't need it. Johnny exuded confidence, even in those silly cowboy boots. Kids called him Johnny B and it was the coolest nickname. Dawson had even heard Mr. Bosh call out "Johnny be good" at one of the football games and then the man laughed like he expected just the opposite from his son and that it was perfectly okay with him. The first flash of light came without a sound. Everyone turned but only briefly. The second flash crackled overhead. Dawson thought it might be lightning but it blurred into blue and purple veins that spread over the treetops like a crack in the twilight sky. Dawson heard "oohs" and "aahs," and smiled to himself. They're tripping out, enjoying the fireworks. He probably was, too. He hadn't used salvia before but Johnny B said it was better than anything from the family medicine cabinet and way more potent than regular weed. Johnny said it was like "rock-'n'-roll fireworks squeezing your brain, convincing you that you could fly." Dawson thought the stuff looked harmless. Green, the color of sage, with wide leaves and similar to something he'd find in his mom's old flower beds. God, he missed his mom. Dawson squashed some more of the plant into a tight wad and stuck it into his mouth between his gum and cheek like chewing tobacco, no longer wincing at the bitter flavor. Johnny had called the plant "Sally-D" and told them that the Indians used it for healing. "It'll clear your sinuses, clean out your guts, soothe your aches, and erase the static in your brain." However, he also sounded this excited last week when he had them all snort the OxyContin he'd crushed into fine particles. He had been able to confiscate only two of the pills from his mom's medicine cabinet so the effects--when crushed and spread out among a dozen kids--didn't quite live up to Johnny's promises. But here he was, once again, sounding like an infomercial, working his magic and getting them to give the new drug a try in the hopes of feeling good and being cool. Less than a minute after Dawson's second hit he felt light-headed, a pleasant mind-tickling buzz that disconnected him from the others as he watched them stumble and laugh and point at the sky. It was like he was watching from another room, in slow motion from a faraway galaxy right outside his bedroom window. There was a deep bass rhythm pounding, pounding, pounding at the base of his skull. Tree branches started to sway. Their trunks multiplied, by twos then threes. That's when he saw the red eyes. They were hidden in the bush, back behind Kyle and Trevor, right behind Amanda. Fiery dots watched, darting back and forth. How could the others not see this creature? Dawson opened his mouth to warn them but no sound came out. He lifted his arm to point but he didn't recognize his hand, yellow and green, almost fluorescent in the flashing strobe light that came out of the treetops. Waves of purple and blue crackled through the branches. That's when Dawson first smelled the heat. Almost like someone had left on a hot iron for too long. Then suddenly the smell was stronger, reminding him of scorched hot dogs on an open campfire--black, crispy, burned meat. Then he remembered they hadn't brought any food. The sensation started as a tingle. Static electricity traveled the airwaves. The others felt it, too. They weren't "oohing" and "aahing" anymore. Instead, they stumbled, heads tilted upward, searching the treetops. Dawson looked back at the brush for the fiery red eyes. Gone. His head swiveled. He could hear a mechanical click in his head like his eyes had become a machine. Each blink scraped like a camera shutter. Every movement ticked and echoed in his head. His nostrils flared, sucking in air that singed his lungs. A metallic taste stuck in his throat. The next flash of light sizzled, leaving a tail of live sparks. This time Dawson heard shouts of surprise. Then cries of pain. Suddenly the fiery red eyes came running out of the brush, racing straight at Dawson from across the campsite. Dawson raised his arm, aimed the Taser, and pulled the trigger. The creature reeled back, fell, and sprawled in the leaves, kicking up glowing stars that shot out of a bed of pine needles. Dawson didn't wait for the creature to spring to its haunches. He turned and started running, or at least his legs did. The rest of him felt carried, shoved into the forest by a force stronger than his own feet. It was all he could do to raise his arms and protect his face from the branches. They tore at his clothes and slashed his skin. He couldn't see. The pounding at the base of his skull drowned out all other sound. The flashes were hot and bright behind him. In front of him, total dark. He hit the wire hard. The jolt of electricity knocked him off his feet. He stumbled and felt his skin pierced and caught like a fish on a thousand hooks. The pain wrapped arrows around his entire body and stabbed him from every direction. By the time Dawson Hayes hit the ground, his shirt was slick with blood. CHAPTER 2 FIVE MILES AWAY "There's no blood?" Special Agent Maggie O'Dell tried not to sound out of breath. She was annoyed that she was having trouble keeping up. She was in good shape, a runner, and yet the rolling sand dunes with waves of tall grass made walking feel like treading water. It didn't help matters that her escort was a good ten inches taller than her, his long legs accustomed to the terrain of the Nebraska Sandhills. As if reading her mind, State Patrol Investigator Donald Fergussen slowed his pace for her to catch up with him. She thought he was being polite when he stopped, but then Maggie saw the barbed-wire fence that blocked their path. He'd been a gentleman the entire trip, annoying Maggie because she had spent the last ten years in the FBI quietly convincing her male counterparts to treat her no differently than they'd treat another man. "It's the strangest thing I've ever seen," he finally answered when Maggie had almost forgotten she'd asked a question. He'd been like that on the drive from Scottsbluff, giving each question deliberate consideration then answering with genuine thought. "But yeah, no blood at the scene. None at all. It's always that way." End of explanation. That had also been his pattern. Not just a man of few words but one who seemed to measure and use words like a commodity. He waved his hand at the fence. "Be careful. It could be hot," he told her, pointing out a thin, almost invisible wire that ran from post to post, about six inches above the top strand of four separate barbed wires. "Hot?" "Ranchers sometimes add electric fencing." "I thought this was federal property." "The national forest's been leasing to ranchers since the 1950s. It's actually a good deal for both. Ranchers have fresh pastures and the extra income helps with reforestation. Plus grazing the land prevents grass fires." He said all this without conviction, simply as a matter of fact, sounding like a public service announcement. All the while he examined the wire, his eyes following it from post to post as he walked alongside it for several steps. He kept one hand out, palm facing her, warning her to wait as he checked. "We lost five thousand acres in '94. Lightning," he said, his eyes following the wire. "Amazing how quickly fire can sweep through the grass out here. Luckily it burned only two hundred acres of pine. That might not mean much somewhere else, but this is the largest hand-planted forest in the world. Twenty thousand of the ninety thousand acres are covered in pine, all in defiance of nature." Maggie found herself glancing back over her shoulder. Almost a mile away she could see the distinct line where sandhill dunes, covered by patches of tall grass, abruptly ended and the lush green pine forest began. After driving for hours and seeing few trees, it only now occurred to her how odd it was that a national forest even existed here. He found something on one of the posts and squatted down until he was eye level with it. "Most forest services say fire can be good for the land because it rejuvenates the forest," he continued without looking at her, "but here, anything destroyed would need to be replanted. That's why the forest even has its own nursery." For a man of few words he now seemed to be expending them, but maybe he thought it was important. Maggie didn't mind. He had a gentle, soothing manner and a rich, deep voice that could narrate War and Peace and keep you hanging on his every word. At first introductions, he had insisted she call him Donny and she almost laughed. In her mind the name implied a boy. His bulk and weathered face implied just the opposite. His smile did have a boyish quality accompanied by dimples, but the crinkles at his eyes and the gray- peppered hair telegraphed a more seasoned investigator. But then all he had to do was take off his hat—like he did now so the tip of his Stetson didn't touch the wire—and the cowlick sticking straight up at the beginning of a perfectly combed part brought back the boyish image. "Ranchers hate fire." Donny paused to take a closer look at the wood post immediately in front of him. He tilted his head and craned his neck, careful not to touch the fence or the post. "The ranchers shake their heads at rejuvenation. The way they look at it, why destroy and waste all that valuable feedstock." Finally he straightened up, put his hat back on, and announced, "We're okay. It's not hot." But then he tapped the wire with his fingertips like you check a burner to make sure it's been turned off. Satisfied, his huge hands grasped between the barbs, one on each strand of the middle two, separating a space for her. "Go ahead," she told him. She had to wait for him to shift from a gentleman to a fellow law enforcement officer. It took a few minutes for his blank stare of protest to disappear. Then he finally nodded and readjusted his grip to the top two strands instead of the middle two so he could accommodate his longer legs. Maggie watched closely how he zigzagged his bulk between the wires without catching a single barb. Then she mimicked his moves and followed through, holding her breath and wincing when she felt a razor-sharp barb snag her hair. On the other side of the fence they continued walking through the knee- high prairie grass. The sun had started to slip below the horizon, turning the sky a gorgeous purple- pink that seeped into the twilight's deep blue. Out here in the open field, Maggie wanted to stop and watch the kaleidoscope effect. She caught herself tucking away details to share later with Benjamin Platt, only she'd relate them in cinematic terms. "Think of John Wayne in Red River," she would tell him when she described the landscape. It was a game they played with each other. Both of them were classic- movie buffs. In less than a year what started as a doctor- patient relationship had turned into a friendship. Except recently Maggie found herself thinking about Ben as more than a friend. She stumbled over the uneven ground and realized the grass was getting thicker and taller. She struggled to keep up with Donny. He was a giant of a man, wide neck and barrel chest. Maggie thought he looked like he was wearing a Kevlar vest under his button- down shirt, only there was no vest, just solid, lean muscle. He had to be at least six feet five inches tall, maybe more because he seemed to bend forward slightly at the waist, shoulders slumped as if walking against a wind, or perhaps he was uncomfortable with his height. Maggie found herself taking two steps to his one, sweating despite the sudden chill. The sinking sun was quickly stealing all the warmth of the day and she wished she hadn't left her jacket back in Donny's pickup. The impending nightfall seemed only to increase Donny's long gait. At least she had worn comfortable flat shoes. She'd been to Nebraska before so she thought she had come prepared, but her other visits had been to the far eastern side near Omaha, the state's only metropolitan city, which sprawled over river valley. Here, within a hundred miles of the Colorado border the terrain was nothing like she expected. On the drive from Scottsbluff there had been few trees and even fewer towns. Those villages they did drive through took barely a few minutes and a slight decrease of acceleration to enter and exit. Earlier Donny had told her that cattle outnumbered people and at first she thought he was joking. "You've never been to these parts before," he had said rather than asked. His tone had been polite, not defensive when he noticed her skepticism. "I've been to Omaha several times," she had answered, knowing immediately from his smile that it was a bit like saying she had been to the Smithsonian when asked if she had seen Little Bighorn. "Nebraska takes nine hours to cross from border to border," he told her. "It has 1.7 million people. About a million of them live in a fifty- mile radius of Omaha." Again, Donny's voice reminded Maggie of a cowboy poet's and she didn't mind the geography lesson. "Let me put it in a perspective you can relate to, no disrespect intended." And he had paused, glancing at her to give her a chance to protest. "Cherry County, a bit to the northwest of us, is the largest county in Nebraska. It's about the size of Connecticut. There are less than six thousand people in nearly six thousand square miles. That's about one person per square mile." "And cattle?" she had asked with a smile, allowing him his original point. "Almost ten per square mile." She had found herself mesmerized by the rolling sandhills and suddenly wondering what to expect if she needed to go to the bathroom. What was worse, Donny's geography lesson only validated Maggie's theory, that this assignment—like several before it—was yet another one of her boss's punishments. A couple of months ago Assistant Director Raymond Kunze had sent her down to the Florida Panhandle, smack- dab in the path of a category- 5 hurricane. In less than a year since he officially took the position, Kunze had made it a habit of sending her on wild-goose chases. Okay, so perhaps he was easing up on her, replacing danger with mind- numbing madness. This time he had sent her to Denver to teach at a weekend law enforcement conference. The road trip to the Sandhills of Nebraska was supposed to be a minor detour. Maggie specialized in criminal behavior and profiling. She had advanced degrees in behavioral psychology and forensic science. Yet it had been so long since Kunze allowed her to work a real crime scene she wondered if she would remember basic procedure. Even this scene didn't really count as a crime, except perhaps for the cows. Now as they continued walking, Maggie tried to focus on something besides the chill and the impending dark. She thought, again, about the fact that there was no blood. "What about rain?" Almost instinctively she glanced over her shoulder. Backlit by the purple horizon, the bulging gray clouds looked more ominous. They threatened to block out any remaining light. At the mention of rain, Donny picked up his pace. Anything more and Maggie would need to jog to keep up. "It hasn't rained since last weekend," he told her. "That's why I thought it was important for you to take a look before those thunderheads roll in." They had left Donny's pickup on a dirt trail off the main highway, next to a deserted dusty black pickup. Donny had mentioned he asked the rancher to meet them but there was no sign of him or of any other living being. Not even, she couldn't help but notice, any cattle. The rise and fall of sand dunes blocked any sign of the road. Maggie climbed behind him, the incline steep enough she caught herself using fingertips to keep her balance. Donny came to an abrupt stop, waiting at the top. Even before she came up beside him she noticed the smell. He pointed down below at a sandy dugout area about the size of a backyard swimming pool. Earlier he had referred to something similar as a blowout, explaining that these areas were where wind and rain had washed away grass. They'd continue to erode, getting bigger and bigger if ranchers didn't control them. The stench of death wafted up. Lying in the middle of the sand was the mutilated cow, four stiff legs poking up toward the sky. The animal, however, didn't resemble anything Maggie had ever seen. From the Hardcover edition.

(CBS News) There is some very serious business happening in a new clip from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
The sneak peek, which premiered Wednesday on the film's Facebook page, shows a very intense discussion between Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson).
"I never meant for anyone to get killed, he has to know that," Katniss tearfully tells Haymitch, referring to President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
"He came to see me. He's worried about rebellion in the Districts," she said.
She begs Haymitch to help her get through their Victory Tour, but he has some harsh words for her.
"This trip doesn't end when you get back home. You never get off this train," he says. "From now on your job is to be a distraction, so people forget what the real problems are."
This isn't the only new "Catching Fire" clip that fans can enjoy—another was shown during Liam Hemsworth's appearance on "The Tonight Show." Watch that one, where he (as Gale) and Katniss debate the merits of staying in District 12 vs. running away, below (it starts at the 1:24 mark).
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" opens in theaters on Nov. 22.

[mariea vox] - Phil I hate to post this here but I do not know how to reach you...
Phil...I am hoping this is really "you" and not some fan site...
I am Mariea Vox...a voice in today's God given task of making all that was hidden be lay in the open for all to see.
I (like you) am also a voice for God...check my works...but this said I think that those who speak for God must stand together...today the notion of God is very polluted by (hu)man's understanding...and those who can see clearly must stand together...For more reasons then most know.
To start I am simply seeking to be your friend....I am not fan...I do not do that whole "worship" thing and I discourage those who try to use that with me...I run a Radio Talk show on Truth Radio called "The Remnant" once a week on Wed's... I will leave a link to the FB page I made for my show...it is only lacking my most recent broadcast.
I want this to be a meeting of minds my dear...I think you know what I mean today. It's a rare find. Anyhow...I leave this note and pray that you accept my friendship and reach back.
I love your "soul" and it gives me a base for getting my own word out. God is not all about dressed up gold in smart suits....It's Cajun Class in beards and Natures best colors...Camo.
P.S. I had a pic of myself with a "duck" beard...but I can't share it with you >_< Reply and I'll give you my "MV in Duck beard" my listeners would go nuts >_<
[mariea vox] - P.S. I was at one time a top end Graphics pro. I have want to offer you all a free piece. I have work all over I can provide ref's BUT this is free.
Hit me up...this is just my way of showing my listeners that while I do NOT ever tell them to watch TV...Never...but if they are going to...it may as well be you guys. The only wholesome anything out there.
[ann moore parsons] - i love u guys!!! God bless u all!! ^i^
[steve james] - My Prayers are with You Guys Phil West Monroe was a quite little town it is not any more People running through it . I guess what they say is true there is a price for just about anything. Keep passing The Lords word .Wishing You and Your Family the best of course You will never see this just the person being paid to run this page.
[anita heavener] - Phil, you and your family are the best role models and this country needs you...God allowed this show to come to pass for a reason....I am so thankful HE did...I wish with all my heart I could meet all of you and I also wish I could have Miss Kay teach me her way of cooking...I love squirrel,deer,catfish,frog legs,duck,goose,well all wild game, but never get to have any...no one in my family hunt or fish...and it's sad too...I live here in W.V. and yet, have to buy all my meat from the store...and it's not that good either...not like when I was a kid and family raised their own beef,pork,turkeys,chickens, eggs and veggies....and hunt...my step dad hunted and cooked the game....it was wonderful and my step grandmother made home made butter too...Oh My Goodness, to go back to those days even for just a little while...GOD Bless you and your family Phil
[marc tng] - God bless you, Phil and all Duck Dynasty's crew! You just gained a new fan. Your success is inspiring, and while most measure it by the millions in your bank account, I say you're successful when I look at your family and your personal/moral as well as religious beliefs. You are successful, you are blessed, and you are inspiring even without the millions, and you are all lights in this crooked world. <3
[heather allen-hendricks] - Hello guys! We are originally from West Monroe and my son, Conner, is one of your hugest fans!! His birthday is on the 1st and he is a little sad about it because this is the 3rd year that we probably won't be having a party. It isn't because we cant it is just that we have moved a lot recently because Daddy works pipeline and we don't know any kids to invite! Anyway could you possibly mail him a card to tell him that he is special, thought of and loved? Or if you can't mail a card send him a private message on facebook. He is turning 12 years old. Thank you for anything you are able to do.
[sandy johnson] - In His name Phil???? Did we take Jesus out of this too? Come on you guys . This really put a knot in my stomach to witness your compromised prayer.
[michelle rapp belnap] - May I borrow your celebrity reach for a moment??? my friends daughter is missing- today is day 8. My heart is broken- I wish I could do more! Please help me share her photo and story in hopes that someone will see her!!! #findindica http://www.hlntv.com/slideshow/2013/08/21/missing-utah-teen-where-indica-huddleston

New Public History option brings history to life Monday, September 17, 2012
Normally when people think "history," "excitement" doesn't also come to mind. But for Evan West, it does. West, a sophomore History and Theatre dual-major from Fort Collins, is one of the first students to explore the History Department's new Public History option, which, he says, "is all about bringing history to life." West spent his summer doing a Public History internship in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Caring & combat: Common Reading Experience examines war and compassion Sunday, September 16, 2012
War: a timely, complex, and often difficult topic to tackle. Which is exactly why The Heart & the Fist is this year's choice for the Common Reading Experience: because it asks hard questions and doesn't offer easy answers, and so inspires reflection, analysis, and discussion.
And, to join in on the discussion, The Heart and the Fist author Eric Greitens will hold a lecture and book signing at the Community Concert Hall on Sept. 27. He will also visit classes that day.

South Florida Bulls (17-11)
@12 Syracuse Orange (28-1)
Wednesday, February 22
Carrier Dome
Attendance: 25,316
South Florida
12 Syracuse
Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Scoop Jardine scored 15 points, C.J. Fair had 13 and No. 2 Syracuse had to overcome a slow start, then hold on to beat South Florida, 56-48, on Wednesday night.
Kris Joseph added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Orange (28-1, 15-1 Big East), who trailed 20-7 in the first half but came back to win their eighth straight since falling to Notre Dame last month.
The Bulls (17-11, 10-5) had a four-game win streak snapped and were officially eliminated from a chance to win the regular-season conference title. They were led by Anthony Collins' 12 points and 11 from Toarlyn Fitzpatrick.
South Florida took its 20-7 lead on Collins' floater in the lane, but went nearly nine minutes without another point in the first half.
Syracuse finished the half on a 17-0 run led by Jardine to take a 24-20 lead at the break. Jardine hit two threes and scored eight points in the burst and Dion Waiters capped it with a three-point play.
"Obviously we didn't get off to a good start. They took control of the game," said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. "We really did not play great for that period of time. Then we really establish the lead, came out in the second half and got off to a great start."
The Bulls used a 9-1 run, capped by Jawanza Poland's fast-break dunk, to pull within 36-31 in the second half. Fair played stopper for Syracuse with a one- handed runner on the left side, but the game remained close.
Fair said it was more frustrating letting the Bulls come back in the second half than it was spotting them a big lead in the first.
"To me, that was frustrating because we had them, and there were a couple of stops and I think we would have had them for good," said Fair.
It took a 5-0 Syracuse spurt to create some distance after South Florida had pulled within 47-46. Joseph's second-chance bucket in the lane capped it and he had a tip-in later that made it 54-48 inside three minutes.

Occupying the middle ground between customers and suppliers—with manufacturers on one side, resellers and retailers on the other—distribution is a high-volume, low-margin business that demands cost efficiency. As one of North America's leading distributors of electronics and technology, D&H Distributing understands what it takes to succeed in this space.
Further, new CIO Dan Stuart had a vision of a unified infrastructure, with centralized data management and a full-featured enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that allowed data to flow seamlessly throughout the enterprise—something that was inefficient with the siloed applications they had built in-house.
As a first step toward enhancing its infrastructure, D&H formed an internal team to evaluate commercial ERP solutions. Representatives from both IT and major business areas focused on several key requirements:
Flexibility. Business leaders were adamant that the restrictions of the software not force them to change the way they run the business.
Ease of customization. In additionto configuring systems to its own unique processes, D&H needed the ability to rapidly implement solutions to meet the demands of its customers and vendors.
Ease of maintenance. D&H sought a solution that it could "own" after the initial deployment, supporting and extending the solution as needed by using its in-house development team.
Scalability. D&H requires systems that can handle high transaction volumes without sacrificing performance. The new ERP would have to scale to support regular seasonal peaks as well as anticipated long-term growth.
Ability to remain current. Because the goal of the ERP initiative was to "future-proof" its infrastructure, D&H sought a system that would allow incremental upgrades (including customizations)—and could keep pace with upgrades to surrounding technologies.
A Truly Flexible System
After evaluating several commercial ERP systems, D&H chose Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, implemented by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner MBS Dev. The evaluation team felt that of the three major ERP applications, only Microsoft Dynamics AX allowed the flexibility D&H needed to reflect its unique business processes and to closely model the feature sets and functionality that had existed in its custom systems.
The ability to customize, reconfigure, and extend Microsoft Dynamics AX in response to changing business needs or customer requirements—and to do so very quickly—was also a major determining factor. "Microsoft Dynamics AX will allow us to execute on both those fronts," confirms Miller. "We can deliver the customizations we need over time, and deliver them in a rapid timeframe that benefits the business."
Realizing the Vision of End-to-End ERP
With Microsoft Dynamics AX as its core administrative system, integrated tightly with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SharePoint Services, Project Server, and platform technologies including SQL Server and BizTalk Server, D&H has moved closer to Stuart's vision of a unified enterprise.
He explains, "With integrated systems, we can take data from CRM and we can pull it through to sales, to purchasing, to finance; and if we make a change in one system, the change will be reflected across the company. When all is said and done, a fully integrated system will pay dividends to the D&H organization for years and years to come."
Miller adds, "In Microsoft Dynamics AX, we found an ERP system that was not only state-of-the-art with respect to the platform and its ability to integrate with our other technologies, but that will continue to grow with us and allow us to develop it or customize it as we'll need to over the years. Microsoft Dynamics AX will put us in a position to take advantage of a stable, thoughtful foundation, with software that can adapt to meet every need of the business in a reasonable timeframe."

The second of three guineas is released by Matt Barrett over a swarm of potential guinea catchers Saturday afternoon in downtown Quitaque.Brad Farris/Staff PhotographerA final farewell casts shadow on town's big event
By VERONICA GARZA and JENNIFER COOLEY
QUITAQUE ? The sun shined in Quitaque Saturday, both on those saying a final farewell to Chamber of Commerce President Roye Pigg and for those who attended the annual National Trails Day, which Pigg helped found.
Pigg's funeral was held Saturday morning after he was shot to death early Thursday. A suspect, 63-year-old John ''Corkey'' Garner, is in custody.
The Rev. Jess Little started the ceremony with personal tales of Pigg, from remembrances of eating at Pigg's Sportsman Restaurant and Club to how Pigg was always helping others.
Little described Pigg as trusting and trustworthy, and said he lived by the credo, ''Expect the best and you'll get the best'' from people.
The crowd for Pigg's funeral filled Fairmont Baptist Church and spilled out onto the church lawn. Cars lined the highway in rows for half a mile as people paid tribute to Pigg.
And just a few miles away in town, National Trails Day went on. Town residents wanted to cancel the event, but Pigg's wife, Mary, said it should go on as planned.
Travis Trussell from Plain-view said Pigg's death did affect the celebration.
''There is definitely a blanket over the festivities today,'' Trussell said. ''I didn't really think they were going to have Trails Day this year, but his family said that his wishes would have been to go on.''
And go on it did. Beth Whitener was watching her sister's booth on Main Street. She said the morning had been a bit slow, but it was likely to pick up in the afternoon. ''There are still people who haven't come down because of the funeral.''
Devona Smith agreed.
''There was no crowd in town earlier for the parade, but people will be coming out later to support (Pigg) and the town.''
Those who did venture out found several crafts booths waiting for them as well as barbecue and stew and cornbread lunches. Texas swing music filled the air as a band played on Main Street.
And of course there was the guinea drop, a controversial event that has made Quitaque's Trails Day nationally known.
Bobby Evans of Canyon was in the right place when the second guinea was dropped from a plane, winning $100.
''I was just here talking by my truck when I saw the bird dropped near the center of town. It glided toward me then landed and ran across the street. Some guy chased it around a tree but it ran straight to me,'' Evans said.

My name is Laurie and I live in Boston, MA.
Growing up I loved to help my mom cook, especially for the holidays. Since my mom was always the primary chef in the family, I never really got to cook for anyone. But now that I have moved out and am a married woman, I had to finally cook for myself.
I discovered that not only do I love to cook, but I am actually really good at it. It is such a thrill to have people enjoy my cooking.
For family parties and holidays I love to make yummy cookies and mouthwatering stuffed mushrooms. I make a great peach pie that everyone loves plus I love to use recipes that family members have passed down to me like my Aunt Ruthie's Marshmallow pudding!
I would like to share all the recipes that I have from my healthy BBQ shredded chicken, my veggie stuffed peppers and of course my peach pie. I am looking forward to making friends and sharing recipes.
Kitchen items I can not live without:
1) A good paring knife: I love a sharp paring knife to cut fat off meat and slit meat for stuffing
2) A food scale: I am always using my food scale to make sure I stick with portion control and to make sure I have the correct amount of meat for cooking.
3) Paper plates and bowls: Dealing with sticky sauces and raw meat, all I have to do is throw them away without having to wash them.
4) Plastic bags and wrap: I pack everything in a plastic bag (leftover frozen veggies, coconut, chocolate chips, etc) I also used them to season meat by tossing in the bag some seasoning and raw meat and just shaking it up.

Camp Good Days to open next week
Branchport, N.Y. -- Camp Good Days will open for the season next week nearly two months after damaging floods.
Workers are still repairing some of the damage, but camp will open next Monday, July 7.
In June a storm caused severe damage at the recreation center on West Lake Road.
A creek at the camp flooded the area.
Several cabins were covered in mud and water because the water level rose so high, making them unusable.
The storm also toppled numerous trees and fences, ripped out parts of the camp's beach and damaged relatively new bedrocks.
The camp received donations and money from the state to make repairs.

If a local attacker calls one of the affected system calls with an overly large negative argument, the attacker could overflow a buffer and cause the kernel to return portions of kernel memory, which could include file cache and terminal buffers. An attacker could use this information to possibly obtain elevated privileges on the system.
Obtain Information
