To the Editor:
Wynton Marsalis's effervescent eulogy to the immortal Duke Ellington [''At 100: Reveling in Life's Majesty,'' Jan. 17] was marred by the author's potshots at past and present musical peers on two continents. For example, Mr. Marsalis dismisses composers of what he calls European concert music as being distanced from the vibrancy of 20th century life, adding that ''a good deal'' of the European composers' music ''is somewhat gloomy.''
''I guess the horrors of the modern age were too much for them,'' he writes.
Mr. Marsalis fails to consider the possibility that what he terms gloomy music may be a direct reflection of what some might see as the horrifying vibrancy of 20th-century life in Europe.
Mr. Marsalis is equally acid when he none too subtly dispatches his creative American contemporaries in the jazz world. Whomever he may have in mind, it is clear Mr. Marsalis has always had a problem with successful creative innovators like Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, as well as anyone else who dares to stretch the musical envelope of Mr. Marsalis's doctrinaire vision of jazz.
Perhaps this keeper of the Duke's flame should heed the noble example of his mentor and learn to appreciate the diversity of all forms of musical creation.

Customer Reviews
Way to go Andreas!
This review is for version 3.7.1
I don't typically review apps other than leaving ratings, but this is exceptional. I have been using NewBar for a few years and this is one of the most important apps that i use on a daily basis. There is way too much news and information out there and NewsBar helps me to manage and consume all that news- in an unintrusive and convenient way. I reached out ot Andras a couple of weeks ago to report a bug (around CPU utilization when using Twitter feeds) and that was quickly fixed in this release. Andras was very professional and timely in his responses. This is the best RSS/news aggregator app for OS X available today (Mar 2015). Give it a try, you won't regret it!

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is something I wrote on Albert Cossery's The Jokers, which was translated from the French by Anna Moschovakis and published by NYRB earlier this year.
For a long time I was planning a post called "Albert Cossery is $%^&ing Amazing," after reading A Splendid Conspiracy and totally falling in love with Cossery's style, sense of humor, etc.
I've told this story a few times already, but I think the "how" of how I came to read Cossery is an interesting 21st-century story about how books will be recommended in the future . . . Back at the beginning of the summer, I noticed that Tosh Berman from Book Soup in L.A. had given Cossery's A Splendid Conspiracy 5 stars on GoodReads. Which made me take note, since a) I'd never heard of Cossery except in typing his books into the Translation Database and b) Tosh has great taste. (See TamTam Books, his publishing company, which publishes a ton of Boris Vian works.) So I added A Splendid Conspiracy to my "to read" bookshelf—something that was automatically posted on my Facebook wall.
A couple of days go back (like literally two), and Jeff Waxman of Seminary Co-op in Chicago gives Cossery's The Jokers 5 stars on GoodReads. Since Jeff is a) also a great reader and b) part of the BTBA judging committee for fiction, I marked The Jokers as a book "to read," which was automatically posted to my Facebook wall.
A half-hour later, I was watching my kids try and injure themselves jumping off of dirt ramps in the forest by my house, and decided to check my e-mail. There was a message notifying me that Brad Weslake—a professor at the University of Rochester and member of our editorial committee—had posted something on my Facebook wall. This something turned out to be a link to Cossery's wiki page and a comment about how interesting he sounded. (And the wiki page is pretty intriguing, especially this bit: "In 60 years he only wrote eight novels, in accordance with his philosophy of life in which 'laziness' is not a vice but a form of contemplation and meditation. In his own words: 'So much beauty in the world, so few eyes to see it.')
Three times makes a trend, so I picked up my dirty, sweaty children and ran off to the local bookstore to buy a copy of A Splendid Conspiracy, which I read over the next three days and also gave a 5 star rating . . .
And to drive home the connectedness of this all, as of this morning, six GoodRead friends have either marked A Splendid Conspiracy as something they want to read or gave it a 5-star rating. And of non-friends who have read/rated this, there's at least one who also gave it 5 stars and included the comment "Tosh: You were right."
I don't know what this all means, but in the class I teach to my interns, we're talking about the future of book recommendations, about how we'll find out about stuff when it's all e-book this and that and there are no friendly indie stores where we can go to talk to over-educated, more-than-well-read booksellers willing to give us accurate, individualized suggestions. I'm not sure if the Facebook/LibraryThing/GoodReads networks can actually ever replicate this, but it's interesting to talk about and see in action . . .
Anyway, here's the opening of my review:
Albert Cossery is the best dead writer I've discovered this year. A few of his books were published in English translation back before I was born, but this year saw the publication of two never-before-translated Cossery novels — A Splendid Conspiracy, which was translated by Alyson Waters and published by New Directions, and The Jokers, translated by Anna Moschovakis and published by New York Review Books — both of which are great fun, centering around groups of Middle Eastern pranksters determined to overthrow the oppressively mundane nature of everyday life (and/or the oppressive government) through practical jokes, entitled laziness, and constant debauchery.
It wasn't just in his novels that Cossery supported this sort of playboy lifestyle—he truly believed that laziness wasn't a vice, but a way of meditating, of appreciating the beauty found in world. This is even exhibited in his output. Although writing eight novels over 60 years might be an accomplishment for you, me, and Jonathan Franzen, it's not really all that impressive for most writers of the time. Especially when titles like The Jokers clock in at fewer than 150 pages. (Although these are a tight 150 pages, filled with interweaving perspectives, a tricksy plot based on trickery, lively characters, lots of debauching, and a good deal of wit.)
That said, of the two Cossery books that came out this year, A Splendid Conspiracy is probably the better one. It's more autobiographical: the protagonist is a very Cossery-like character who returns to Egypt from studying abroad in Paris (where, instead of getting a degree in Chemical Engineering, he spent all his time getting wasted and trolling around in whorehouses) convinced that life in this small Egyptian town will be incredibly boring. To his surprise, he winds up falling in with a group of dandy troublemakers who are under suspicion by the authorities for the disappearance of a number of wealthy men.
In many ways, The Jokers comes from a similar place, where the overbearing authorities are pitted against a group of young and hip pranksters.

The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .

text: Yeah, yeah, I know. Long time no see and all that… Our first period classes are 10 minutes longer than the other periods. That extra 10 minutes is quaintly called "Home Base." (I know I've probably mentioned that here before, but with almost 450 posts up to now, I don't have the energy to check when the last time was. You can probably cope with a "previously on…") Home Base is just too dorky, so we call it "Homies." It's when they read the bulletin (mostly basketball players reading sports cliches about how awesome every…single…player…is) and suchlike, and whatever time is left is supposed to be like circle time I guess. A few of my homies each year usually come in early and hang out in the room beforehand. Mostly because I have the warmest room in the school in cold weather. Always 68 degrees. Always. Last year there were several homies who would come in early and hang out. Very early on, I noticed that Andrea didn't exactly hang out like the rest of us. She did laps. She would walk around and around the perimeter of the room while she talked to us. Her cowgirl boots would click and clack as she continuously walked around

Ball in a Hole

fill the pipe with water and naturally the ball will float to the top :-)
Posted 31 March 2008 - 03:22 AM
The rules state you have no access to water or a vaccum, the tools listed are irrelevant, so pee the ball out... The average human has plenty of urine in them to float the ball out; it only requires 155mL and the bladder has over that much easily...
Posted 02 April 2008 - 10:52 PM
Liquid...those type of balls will float. Any type of liquid will do. If there isn't any liquid available and for some reason you had a air pressure hose you could try it; use enough air at the right angle and it will pop it out. But liquid is more practical and easier.
Posted 03 April 2008 - 12:16 AM
Some interesting responses, however they seem a bit complicated. Personally, I would simply pour water into the pipe until the ball floats to the top.
Posted 04 April 2008 - 02:33 PM
two solutions:
1. fill water into the pipe
2. use a vaccum cleaner

You could blow air over the top of the pipe using some sort of compressor. The faster the air is moving, the lower the atmospheric pressure outside the tube will be and therefore air will attempt to escape from the pipe, thus causing the ball to rise to the top.

Fill the hole with water, the ping pong ball will float to the top.
A vacuum cleaner will remove the air from the tube, but not lift the ball up through it.

By Craig Haley, FCS Executive Director Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Some Ivy League football programs can look down the road and know their schedules already are completed for quite a while. Princeton, for example, is booked through 2017, with some of the following seasons not far behind in the planning stage. But some teams in the Ancient Eight might be double-checking to see if their schedules are marked in pencil and not ink. Monday's announcement by the Patriot League that it will start to offer football scholarships with the 2013 season will have some affect on scheduling with its sister league, the Ivy League, over the long term. It's not that the non-scholarship Ivy schools are going to cut the cord on the Patriot League competition - far from it. But Ivy programs no doubt will look elsewhere for opponents a little more, especially when the maximum of 15 scholarships per recruiting class start to add up at Patriot schools and they get markedly better.
In future years, perhaps Princeton will schedule two Patriot opponents and look toward the Pioneer Football League, the only other non-scholarship FCS league beginning in 2013, or perhaps a scholarship school from a league lower in stature than the Patriot League, like the Northeast Conference or the Mid- Eastern Athletic Conference. San Diego, from the PFL, already has built a relationship with Ivy competition, while Marist and Columbia are a strong geographical fit and have built a relationship. PFL members like Butler (it has a home-and-home with Dartmouth over the next two seasons), Jacksonville, Dayton, Drake, Davidson, Campbell, even Mercer or Stetson when they begin play in 2013, could become more attractive to the Ivies. Such games would satisfy wide-spread alumni and develop more recruiting bases. Ivy teams held their own this past season while going 3-3 against scholarship programs, but they were a combined 6-21 in the five prior seasons (2006-10), and that is not a welcomed trend to them. Just looking to the past, Brown got out of its series with Holy Cross when the Crusaders had scholarships in the late 1980s and early 1990s and only renewed the relationship once the Patriot program dropped the scholarships.
Harvard, like Penn a perennial Ivy power, has avoided playing scholarship opponents under veteran head coach Tim Murphy, enjoying rivalries with schools like Holy Cross and Lafayette. Of course, those Patriot League teams have scholarships on the way. Georgetown will be in demand with more Ivy programs if, unlike the rest of the Patriot League, the Hoyas decide to keep offering only need-based financial aid and not the merit-based financial aid that is football scholarships. Changes in scheduling between the Ivy and Patriot leagues might be subtle in upcoming years, but greater change is out there when future schedules start to have openings again and the Patriot scholarships keep adding up. The two academically elite leagues have been great playing partners. Keeping the same relationship just may not be smart for the Ivy League.

Loved this ring. The coral is a nice reddish pink. The CZs look quite real. The design is unusual but not gaudy. I loved it when I saw it and it looks just like the picture.
I absolutely love this ring. The color is so stunningly beautiful. The fit is perfect. The coral color is lovely. I lost a coral ring I bought in Hawaii and am pleased to replace it with this. Thank you so much.
This was purchased as a gift for my mother. It looks lovely on her . The color is soft and the setting is very flattering for someone with long fingers.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? very nice
- How accurate was the sizing? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very even stone work & setting is lovely
This is a lovely informal ring, I am very pleased with the look and the quality..
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The image is almost identical to the ring.
- How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is good for the money paid.
This ring is gorgeous! Prettier than the picture! Excellent finishing, and the coral color is very Spring/summerish. I receive compliments every time I use it!
- Did the image onsite match the product? YES
- Did the product fit true to size? YES
- How is the quality of the product? GREAT
that ring is very much like it was shown, only the corals have slightly lighter color. the size is exact, and it looks very good

Louisiana judicial elections, 2015
Election dates
- Filing deadline: September 10, 2015
- Primary: October 24, 2015
- General: November 21, 2015
Candidates: Contested
Candidates will be posted here after the filing deadline.
Primary election
Judges compete in a primary election against candidates of all parties. If no candidate receives over 50 percent of the vote (a "majority vote"), the top two candidates run against each other in the general election. If a candidate does receive a majority vote in the primary, he or she is declared elected as an unopposed candidate and will not be listed on the general election ballot.[1]
Louisiana's primary elections are held in November, during the general elections of other states.
For two or more open seats
In the event that candidates are competing for more than one open seat on a court, the majority vote is decided by "dividing the total votes cast for all of the candidates by the number of offices to be filled [and] dividing the result so obtained by two," according to the Secretary of State website.[1]
General election
A general election is won by obtaining the highest number of votes. In the case of races with two or more open seats, the two or more candidates with the highest votes are declared the winners. If there is a tie, an additional election will be scheduled for the third Saturday after the announcement of the election results.[1]

SEATTLE (AP) — In a story June 28 about the quality assurance testing of marijuana that will be sold at licensed Washington state pot shops, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Analytical 360's facility in Yakima is the only laboratory that has been certified to conduct the testing. The lab is one of two; the other is Confidence Analytics in Seattle.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Pot shortages could be dire at Washington's stores
Where's the weed? Pot shortages could be even worse than expected in Washington next month
By GENE JOHNSON
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) — Randy Oliver has a pressing question as legal marijuana sales are about to begin in Washington state: Where's all the weed?
Oliver is the chief scientist at Analytical 360 in Yakima, one of two labs in the state that have been certified to test the heavily taxed marijuana that will wind up on store shelves next month. So far, just two licensed growers have turned in samples for testing at Analytical 360, with another due to turn in a small batch next week, he told The Associated Press on Saturday.
"There's such a small stream of samples coming through," he said. "There's going to be some long lines and some high prices."
The state's Liquor Control Board has been warning of shortages when the first stores open. The board plans to issue the first 15 to 20 retail licenses July 7, with shops allowed to open the next day if they're ready. It's not clear how many that will be. Board staff said at a meeting last week that only one store in Seattle is ready for its final inspection.
Only 79 of the more than 2,600 people who applied for marijuana growing licenses last fall have been approved, and many of them aren't ready to harvest.
"Will there be shortages?" Randy Simmons, the board's legal-pot project manager, said in a recent AP interview. "The answer to that is yes."
But the figures provided by Oliver on Saturday suggest just how serious those shortages could be. The samples provided to Analytical 360 represent a maximum harvest so far of 190 pounds — and Oliver said he expects 20 to 30 percent of the samples to fail because of high mold counts. Marijuana associated with those samples can't be sold as dried bud, but can be used to make cannabis oil.
The amount harvested so far "isn't going to stay on the shelves very long," Oliver said.
The other certified lab, Confidence Analytics in Seattle, has received samples from nine growers, some of whom are working on their second harvests, said co-owner Bobby Hines.
Oliver said he's worried that his lab could see a crush of samples provided in the days before the first stores open, swamping his lab and delaying the arrival of product on store shelves.
"We can probably handle 100 samples a day, but if we get 300 samples thrown at us?" he said. "I'm worried about everybody coming to us at the last minute."
Growers have to provide samples for every strain of cannabis they grow, and for every five pounds of flowers they harvest.
Oliver also said glitches with the software the state is using to track the bar-coded marijuana from clone to sale could compound the issue. He said his lab has had trouble entering test results in the program, and some marijuana that passed has shown up as having failed. It took one grower five days to provide the samples to the lab because of software problems, he said, characterizing the bugs as nothing unusual for a new program.
Seattle's Sea of Green Farms is one of the two growers who have had their pot tested at Analytical 360, said Bob Leeds, a partner there.
The other grower tested is Spokane's Kouchlock Productions. Kouchlock and Sea of Green were among the very first growers licensed back in March.
Spokesmen for the liquor board did not immediately return a call or emails on Saturday.
The Sea of Green team was spending the weekend packaging the approximately 40 pounds of marijuana it harvested recently, Leeds said. It has contracts with four shops to sell most of it already — for an exorbitant $4,000 a pound. That's nearly $9 per gram before the retailer's mark-up, 25 percent retail excise tax, and state and local sales taxes. At the state's unlicensed medical dispensaries, cannabis often sells for $8 to $12 per gram.
"When people start calling we have to tell them we're not going to have anything for them until August," Leeds said. "That's a long way off when you're trying to open a business."

My 2yo has a stomach bug. A few weeks ago I called to ask about diarrhea and they said to give her 1mg of liquid imodium. Of course being liquid it is measured in ml. The active ingredients says (in each 5ml) Loperamide HCI 1mg. Does that mean in order to get 1mg she needs 5ml? She's had diarrhea and vomiting for over 48hrs now and isn't taking in nearly enough fluids so I want to at least try to stop the diarrhea. I will call her Dr on Monday if it isn't better by then.

The current submission format guidelines are: :thumbcode: "title" by AccountName And an optional, brief description of why the piece should be featured could be included here. We would appreciate it very much if this format was followed, especially the descriptor – if you can convince us of the piece in a few, short lines, we're much more likely to give it the consideration it deserves!

Search and Seizure Questions
Search and seizures are lawful actions conducted by government officials that include the intrusion of a person's privacy in an attempt to search for evidence of a crime. Seizure can mean the arrest of a person or the seizure of property for the purpose of evidence. Police are required to have a
search warrant
signed by a judge before they can conduct a search and seizure. At times, these searches are conducted without a court ordered search warrant. Regardless of the situation, the person who has been exposed to a search and seizure usually has many questions. Below are a few of the more commonly asked questions regarding search and seizure.
If you win a search and seizure case, are you entitled to the property that was seized? There was pot plants and growing equipment.
When you win a search and seizure case, the judge usually only allows the property to be used as evidence, not that the property be returned to you. You need to go to the police department and see if they will return the property to you.
The police will probably return the equipment but the plants are illegal, therefore you will not get those back. If the police refuse to return your equipment, you will have to go to court and sue for the return of your property. If you see that you will have to sue, you should consult with an attorney who is well versed in
Civil Rights
/ police
Can the police remove an elderly person and not allow the person to get fully dressed while conducting a search and seizure?
While the police can have a person leave the home while they conduct the search, they will usually let a person have appropriate clothing on before leaving the residence, especially an elderly person. However, the police don't have to let anyone have anything before removing the person, therefore the actions of the police was not unlawful.
How do the laws of arrest search and seizure come from the bill of rights?
People are protected against unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment. There must be probable cause before a search warrant can be ordered. A judge must review the proof and determine if a search warrant is necessary. Also, in most cases a person cannot be arrested without probable cause. This means that a police officer cannot arrest a person without probable cause, and the officer would have to get an
Arrest Warrant
based on some form of probable cause.
The police entered our home to conduct a wellness check on my husband. The police then conducted an illegal search and seizure and took property from our home. What can we do?
You may be able to get an attorney to file for a
Motion to Suppress
to keep evidence out of court if the property taken wasn't sitting in plain sight when the police seized it without a search warrant. If you can get this done and your husband can prove that the police failed to follow procedures of conduct expected by the police department, he can file a damage claim against the police department for any damages as a result of the officers actions. To do this, you will need an attorney who is familiar with Civil Rights. If you need to find an attorney, you may want to check with a lawyer referral service.
A person called from 'search and seizure' looking for my daughter-in-law. Do I have to give them her information?
You are not legally required to talk to a person about anything without a court order that says you have to. When someone calls you claiming that they are from 'search and seizure', this isn't considered under a court order so you can simply hang up without saying a word. If someone comes to your home wanting information, demand to see a warrant or any type of documentation from the court that says you must answer them. Also, you don't have to answer any questions until you have spoken with an attorney.
Police conduct search and seizures on a regular basis and usually do so legally. However, there are times when these search and seizures are done unlawfully or incorrectly. Property that is seized during a search and seizure is usually used as evidence in a court setting. It is important to know your rights and how the search and seizure process works. If you have questions or concerns, you should ask an Expert.

I had the police show up at my door - near midnight - supposedly
I had the police show up at my door - near midnight - supposedly due to a domestic abuse call. First, there was no incident of domestic abuse, only a small dinner party with NO arguments. Second, when the neighbor came across the street to tell the officer we can't hear them knocking from the screen door, the officer exhibited aggressive behavior, reaching for her weapon and 'strongly advising' my neighbor to return to her home. When my husband answered the door, they walked right in and said there had been a domestic abuse complaint at our address and demanded to see everyone's ID. We told them there was no problem, and when my husband got me out of bed I told them I don't like the guns in my house or to be asked for ID in my own home. They ultimately were on a fishing trip, and arrested a friend who was staying with me for outstanding warrants (I didn't know about them). I feel this is akin to illegal search & seizure and my Constitutional rights have been violated. Do I have any recourse? There is no public information available about how Daytona Beach police are trained to respond when the alleged incident never took place. I never heard of anything like this.

is ARBITRARY authority. Genuine authority is earned through merit. A doctor is an authority on the health of my body because he spent years of his life studying the topic and can back his conclusions and suggestions up with facts and evidence. If he pulled out a gun and said 'do this or I'll hurt you', I would know that his 'suggestion' was not being made for my benefit. If you have to use violence to establish your 'authority', its just a sign of failure.
