I never got into Smallville so I don't know how the screenwriters there took care of the #1 problem with Superman as a film character: he only has one vulnerability, so every time you make a movie about him it has to include, "...OK, and then the villain has some Kryptonite..." With the other possibility being, "...OK, and then the villain kidnaps - X - to hold them hostage and threaten Superman..."
Not entirely true. Supes has been beaten, nay, killed, by a character who was simply more superstrong and invulnerable than he is. No kryptonite or kidnapping involved. Just a straight up fist fight going on for several issues.
The problem with the movies IMHO, has always been the over-reliance on Lex Luthor as main villain. Obviously, HE needs the plot elements you mention to threaten Supes. The more recent comic book movie convention of killing off members of the rogue gallery within the feature they debut in is probably a response to this flaw of the Superman series.. which has, in ways, invented the genre, hasn't it? Admittedly, most other Supes villains are kinda lame. The sad thing is, if they go the reboot route, the first movie pretty much needs to have Lex, again!
I totally agree...they dont even need to do another ORIGIN movie..if you don't know who superman is, then you're not part of the human condition..
The next Superman movie should just go on as if he's always been a hero on Earth..and I think braniac, as handled in the TIMM universe, would be a perfect villain, and would allow for some great FX battles..especially if it is revealed that he was the cause of Kyrpton's destruction..

This was the second year of operations for the Kenya Chapter.
This was our inauguration year and first year of operations. The biggest milestone was bringing the team together and setting off on the research projects.
We managed to get a representation at the Annual Workshop held in Dubai in February 2013 and that gave us good contact with existing members of the Global organization. One fruitful area of collaboration has grown from the Polish team through Piotr Kijewski to receive feeds about Kenya from the Polish CERT.

A randomised placebo controlled study to assess the effects of cholinergic treatment on muscarinic receptors in Alzheimer's disease
Kemp, P.M., Holmes, C., Hoffmann, S., Wilkinson, S., Zivanovic, M., Thom, J., Bolt, L., Fleming, J.S. and Wilkinson, D.G. (2003) A randomised placebo controlled study to assess the effects of cholinergic treatment on muscarinic receptors in Alzheimer's disease. Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 74, (11), 1567-1570. (doi:10.1136/jnnp.74.11.1567).
Full text not available from this repository.
Objective:to determine the effects of cholinergic treatment on the muscarinic receptor in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Methods:12 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and six controls were studied. The patients underwent ADAS-COG psychometric assessment and SPECT brain imaging with 123I quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), to demonstrate the postsynaptic muscarinic M1 receptor, before being randomised in a double blind study to receive either an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (donepezil) or placebo for four months. Following this, the ADAS-COG and the 123I-QNB receptor scan were repeated. The controls were imaged on one occasion only. All image analyses were undertaken using SPM99.
Results:123I-QNB imaging showed a significant relation between baseline psychometric impairment and deficits on scanning. Both placebo and actively treated groups had reductions in 123I-QNB uptake. Greater reductions in receptor binding were demonstrated in the placebo group than in those receiving active treatment. Intraindividual reproducibility of the 123I-QNB imaging technique appeared highly robust.
Conclusions:the results suggest that 123I-QNB uptake is better preserved in Alzheimer's disease patients on cholinergic treatment than on placebo. Cholinergic treatment may play a neuroprotective role. Sequential 123I-QNB imaging seems to be a powerful tool in monitoring the response of these receptors to disease modifying treatments.

If you listen to the self-titled second album by Whitey Morgan & the 78's and think the band makes outlaw country sound easy, Morgan probably wouldn't object.
When he described finding his sound, Morgan – the stage name of Eric Allen – said, "It was difficult until I realized that ... limitations can be a beautiful thing."
He said his band – which will perform at RIBCO on January 21 – initially tried to sound like country from the middle part of the 20th Century, but they didn't have the chops to pull it off. It was only when they embraced the relative simplicity of the outlaw-country movement – personified by artists such as Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings – that things started to click.
I jokingly suggested that the problem was that he was too ambitious, and Morgan didn't take offense and didn't think I was kidding; he agreed.

When I interviewed Alan Sparhawk in 2007, the singer/songwriter/guitarist touched on the idea of a "golden moment ... when you're sort of just struggling with some instrument and you sort of have just figured it out, and you are just figuring out the first possible ideas and melodies on it; it's really exciting."
He was talking specifically about Low's Drums & Guns, in which the Minnesota trio (featuring Sparhawk, his wife Mimi Parker on drums, and bassist Matt Livingston – who has since left the band) experimented with instruments they weren't comfortable playing.
In an interview last week promoting Retribution Gospel Choir's December 31 performance at RIBCO (supporting the Meat Puppets), that concept re-emerged in slightly different form. He cast it as freedom – but it's critical to understand that it isn't a natural state of being but the result of work and getting rid of ego. "Those are everything," he said. "'There was a moment where I was not in the way.'"

If you want a sense of what Mini Mansions sounds like, interviews and reviews often reference the Beatles' experimental side and the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. But you're advised not to raise the comparisons with Michael Shuman, the Queens of the Stone Age bassist who formed Mini Mansions in early 2009.
Shuman has previously been up-front about the influences of and his love for the Beatles and Smith, but when I asked him about Mini Mansions' new self-titled album compared to the Beatles, he responded curtly: "I don't think it sounds anything like them." A lot of writers have repeated the comparison, he said, but "I just think it was the wrong bandwagon."
A trio that primarily employs keyboards, bass, drums, and voices, Mini Mansions – performing at RIBCO on December 11 – plays pop music that immediately grabs you but is also streaked with oddity and darkness. The Beatles comparison is frankly inevitable because of the vocal style and harmonies, and the spirit of Smith is undeniable as well. (For the record, outside of a closing scream and vocal flourish in "Monk," there's barely a hint of Queens of the Stone Age.)

The Moog guitar looks like a standard electric guitar.
But Fareed Haque knows from unpleasant experience that its innards are anything but standard.
"There's an incredible amount of technology inside that instrument," Haque said in a phone interview last week. "I was flying with the instrument, and ... I feel that airline security ... looked at my name – Fareed Haque – and looked at the guitar." He paused here, letting the implication settle. "I don't know they took it apart, but I know that when I got it, it wasn't all put back together. Which presented great difficulties for our performance that evening. It looked okay, and I sat down to play it, and all the guts just kind of fell out on stage."
He related this story with good humor, in part because it's understandable that transportation-security officials would be suspicious of the outwardly benign guitar with the unusual stuff inside.
Haque will be demonstrating that inner weirdness of the Moog guitar on November 27 at RIBCO, when he performs with his new trio MathGames, which also features drummer Greg Fundis and bassist Alex Austin.

In 2007, Rolling Stone named Matt Pike one of its "new guitar gods," and the High on Fire frontman is notable for being among the two or three least-known people on a list that included John Mayer and members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco, Tool, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, and Radiohead.
Pike is certainly a luminary in the world of metal – both the heavy and the stoner varieties with which he's associated – but he'd probably prefer to keep his appeal selective. High on Fire – performing at RIBCO on October 8 with Kylesa and Torche – is for metal purists, fans of Metallica's Master of Puppets who think that band has been pandering and floundering for the past two decades.
There's none of that desperation for acceptance with High of Fire, partly a function of its method. The songs are less organic than constructed out of often-disparate parts, and therein lies the key to both the music's appeal and difficulty.

3D Printing Costs a Pretty Penny, but Options Abound
Imagine being able to print in 3D from the comfort of your very own home or easily from your office. Although 3D printers have been used for years in large vertical industries such as the automotive sector, they are fast becoming a more affordable reality for smaller businesses and the consumer market as the technology advances and prices drop. While still expensive—think at least $1,600 for a decent one—they're not totally out of reach. The 3D printers fabricate physical objects directly from computer-aided-design (CAD) data sources. Using additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, objects are built by dispensing successive thin layers of molten material onto a moving platform base from a robotic extruder nozzle. The material is most commonly a thermoplastic or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filament. Rapid quality and performance innovations across all 3D printing technologies will drive enterprise and consumer demand as worldwide shipments of 3D printers priced less than $100,000 will grow 49 percent in 2013 to reach a total of 56,507 units, according to Gartner forecasts. In this slide show, eWEEK examines some 3D printing offerings.

From SouthwestWashingtonZest.com:
Sometimes a simple yet impactful idea comes along that makes perfect sense. That's what happened in 2003 when Marsha Wallace, a nurse and mother of four in South Carolina invited her friends for a birthday dinner with special instructions – no gifts please. Her friends instead shared a potluck and wrote checks to the organization Women for Women International. That was an "aha" moment for Marsha. Why couldn't these dinners happen in other homes? She started spreading the idea of Dining for Women and did it ever spread. Nine years later and 250 chapters later, in February 2012, Dining for Women was featured on NBC Nightly news. View it here
Connecting Southwest Washington to the World
So what does this have to do with Southwest Washington? Once a month it has everything to do with our corner of the world. We, in fact, traveled the world without even dusting off our passports. For the past year, every 2nd Tuesday of the month, a Vancouver, WA Chapter of Dining for Women has gathered for a potluck dinner, short video and presentation about an organization offering life-changing programs for women and girls who often live on less than $1 a day. We eat, we drink and share good company. We learn about other cultures and international issues. And we get out our checkbooks and write checks for what we might have spent had we dined out. A giving circle is a simple concept with far-reaching effects.READ THE REST at SouthwestWashingtonZest.com

Vladisavljević, Nebojša (2008) Serbia's antibureaucratic revolution: Milošević, the fall of communism and nationalist mobilization. Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, UK. ISBN 9780230205215
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the 1980s, a wave of popular unrest swept across the eastern part of Yugoslavia. These events peaked in the 'antibureaucratic revolution' — a series of large rallies and demonstrations of industrial workers, Kosovo Serbs and other groups, which were strongly backed by Milošević (Milosevic) — and in a counter-mobilization of Kosovo Albanians. The levels of mobilization surpassed those in most East European states at the time of communism's collapse, and the consequences were no less dramatic. Yet these events and their implications remain largely unexplored two decades later. Blending narrative with analysis, Nebojša Vladisavljević reveals that the antibureaucratic revolution was the most crucial episode of Yugoslav conflicts after Tito. Drawing on primary sources and cutting-edge research on contentious politics, he explains how popular unrest contributed to the fall of communism and the rise of a new form of authoritarianism, competing nationalisms and the break-up of Yugoslavia. This book sheds new light on the meteoric ascent to power of Slobodan Milošević and on the making of the contemporary Serb-Albanian nationalist conflict in and over Kosovo. - Dr Nebojsa Vladisavljevic

Liquor licenses are at such a premium in the Lower Eastpacking District that one beer-bar owner told us that a batty community-board member vowed she wouldn't recommend him for one until the Iraq war came to an end. So when we heard that Darin (cousin of Steve) Rubell of Mercadito and Joshua Boyd of Plan B were opening GalleryBar with all the liquid fixings, we were a little doubtful. Rubell concedes that the upstairs art space, which opens December 15 featuring the work of painter Kevin Berlin, comes with a backstory that might spark envy among his embattled neighbors (the Orchard, say). To hear Rubell tell it, after evicting 13 Little Devils, their "very smart" landlord transferred the liquor license to a corporation and then sold it, license included, to Rubell and Boyd. Et voila: A rustic basement lounge where you'll be able to quaff booze and order paninis provided by Bruschetteria. — Daniel Maurer

Sulindac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the arylalkanoic acid class that is marketed in the UK & U.S. by Merck as Clinoril.
Like other NSAIDs, it is useful in the treatment of acute or chronic inflammatory conditions. Sulindac is a prodrug, derived from sulfinylindene, that is converted in the body to the active NSAID. More specifically, the agent is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide that is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This is thought to help maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. Some studies have shown sulindac to be relatively less irritating to the stomach than other NSAIDs except for drugs of the COX-2 inhibitor class[citation needed]. The exact mechanism of its NSAID properties is unknown, but it is thought to act on enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Its usual dosage is 150-200 milligrams twice per day, with food. It should not be used by persons with a history of major allergic reactions (urticaria or anaphylaxis) to aspirin or other NSAIDs, and should be used with caution by persons having pre-existing peptic ulcer disease. Sulindac is much more likely than other NSAIDs to cause damage to the liver or pancreas However it is less likely to cause kidney damage than other NSAIDs.
Sulindac seems to have a property, independent of COX-inhibition, of reducing the growth of polyps and precancerous lesions in the colon, especially in association with familial adenomatous polyposis, and may have other anti-cancer properties.[1][2]
Sulindac is an effective tocolytic and may be used in the treatment of preterm labor. In common with other NSAIDs, sulindac is currently being investigated for its role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Since it was found that the sulfoxide functional group can be reduced by methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA), a possible anti-oxidative capability is being discussed.
In September 2010 a federal jury in New Hampshire awarded $21 million to Karen Bartlett, a woman who developed Stevens–Johnson syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis as a result of taking a generic brand of sulindac manufactured by Mutual Pharmaceuticals for her shoulder pain. Ms. Bartlett suffered severe injuries including the loss of over 60% of her surface skin and permanent near-blindness. The case had been appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where the main issue was whether federal law preempts Ms. Bartlett's claim.[3] On June 24, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Mutual Pharmaceuticals, throwing out the earlier $21 million jury verdict.[4]

Laura Meckler reports on the presidential race.
The real-live "Joe the Plumber" is making his debut on the McCain campaign trail, though the candidate himself appears to be keeping his distance.
In John McCain's telling, Joe Wurzelbacher is the American everyman who confronted Democrat Barack Obama about his plans to raise taxes and got him to admit that his real plan is to "spread the wealth around." (No matter that this is one of the basic principles of the U.S. progressive tax system.) Wurzelbacher suggested that Obama was espousing socialist views, and McCain agreed.
The McCain campaign, thinking it has a winning symbol, has repeatedly invoked Joe on the stump, in TV ads and on bumper stickers.
The real live Joe is more complicated. He's expressed a variety of views about the role of government that McCain himself might not agree with. Plus he's had his share of personal problems: he owed back taxes, for one, and isn't a licensed plumber.
Perhaps to shield him from more questions along those lines, and to preserve his symbolic value, Wurzelbacher has not been on the trail with McCain. But on Tuesday, a day after McCain was in the area, Joe will make several stops in southern Ohio to promote the McCain message. That includes a news conference at a Dayton flag store, a stop at the Dublin Pub in Dayton, and visits to S&S Pools in Middletown, Hermann's Florist in Milford and a meet and greet with volunteers at the campaign headquarters in Hamilton County.

Deep Fried Mozzarella Balls
User Submitted RecipeIngredients
16 (1-inch diameter) balls bocconcini mozzarella cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs, beaten
3 cups seasoned Italian-style bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the bocconcini: Drain the bocconcini and pat dry with paper towels. Put on a paper towel-lined plate and allow to dry in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Put the flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the eggs in a second medium bowl and the bread crumbs in a third medium bowl. Coat the bocconcini in flour and then dip into the eggs. Roll the bocconcini in the bread crumbs until coated. Dip the coated bocconcini again in the eggs and then coat with bread crumbs. Freeze the breaded bocconcini for 20 minutes.
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 1 to 2 minutes). In batches, fry the bocconcini until golden brown, about 15 to 20 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
Arrange the bocconcini on a platter and serve with your favorite tomato sauce.

When pesticides are used in crops to control pests, their effects on the environment continue even after they have served their purpose. Pesticides can leach into the soil and water sources that both humans and animals depend on, spreading harmful chemicals to the surrounding ecosystem. Over time, their active ingredients are detoxified through different reactions that occur after their release, eventually degrading them into harmless products. Understanding the pesticide runoff patterns and mobility of various pesticides before and after they […]

There are many different forces that can induce flow in fluids, such as kinetic energy, pressure gradients, concentration gradients, and many more. In natural systems, one effect that can initiate fluid flow in a still fluid is a change in density. This density change will result in a change in the fluid's buoyancy, thus inciting flow as the denser fluid sinks and the less dense, buoyant, fluid rises. You're probably most familiar with these changes in density occurring due to […]

The flow of fluid through a porous medium is usually described by Darcy's Law. However, what if you wanted to look at a combination of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transport in a porous medium?

Of all boats, I find sailboats to be the most fascinating, especially when sails are their only means of propulsion. Kinetic energy is transferred from the wind to the sails, which results in a lift force that balances drag forces and allows the sailboat to move through the water.

Have you ever noticed how water can flow through rocks and leave a trace of its passage by covering the surface with a patina, like white stripes? The whole process is quite complex but can roughly be explained by breaking it down into two coupled effects: gravity and chemical reactions.

Volume 6, no. 2:Johann Klemm. Partitura seu Tabulatura italica. Edited by John O. Robison. Recent Researches in the Music of the Baroque Era, 92. Madison: A-R Editions, 1998. [xv, 104 pp. ISBN 0-89579-420-9. $19.95.] Reviewed by Stephen Miller*1. Klemms Position in the History of Fugue2. Characteristics of Klemms Fugues3. Subgenres and Tonal Relationships4. A Gradus ad ParnassumReferences1. Klemms Position in the History of Fugue1.1 As a composer Johann Klemm hardly stands out on the seventeenth-century musical landscape. There are few extant works in manuscript, and there is but a single extant Einzeldruck—this Partitura from 1631, a collection of 36 fugues in open score, arranged in the standard twelve modes (or tones, as Klemm calls them), one each for two, three, and four voices.1The pieces in the print seem of uneven quality, suggesting the hand of a well-meaning craftsman rather than that of a gifted composer. It is the broader musical context that shows Klemms importance more distinctly. He served for many years as organist to the Saxon electors at Dresden, and he was active as a publisher, producing some of Schützs works, such as the Sacrae symphoniae (part II) and the Geistliche Chormusik. He is most remembered, however, for the fact that the Partitura shows how (in John Robisons words) the fugue was perceived at the court of Dresden during the time of Schütz. This publication establishes Klemm as an important early contributor of imitative pieces that are explicitly termed fugae. (Is it possible that this print is the earliest to comprise exclusively fugae? Scheidt, Bernhard Schmid, and others devoted sections of their publications to sets of fugae, but Klemms volume raises the prestige of the genre by excluding all other types of pieces—canzonas, ricercars, etc.) This in itself justifies an edition of Klemms 36, particularly as Bachs 48 has just recently received important new consideration in Laurence Dreyfuss award-winning study.2 1.2 Dreyfus emphasizes the importance of genre in Bachs oeuvre generally, showing how Bach frequently plays with and against listeners generic expectations. He devotes an entire chapter to the question of genre in Bachs fugues (Matters of Kind), seeking first to disentangle fugue as genre from its perennial confusion with form and then revealing how this affects our interpretation of Bachs project in Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier. In particular Dreyfus argues that we should understand these fugues as reflecting Bachs exertions within particular fugal subgenres. All of these subgenres—simple fugues, double fugues with one, two, or three themes, counterfugues, and mixed fugues—presuppose specific contrapuntal characteristics that, for Dreyfus, loom much larger than the features of fugues that have traditionally garnered more attention, features like the style of the subject, the relationship between subject-answer, and the formal layout. 2. Characteristics of Klemms Fugues2.1 This way of thinking about the genre of fugue and its constituent species stimulates new lines of inquiry as we consider the fugal work of the seventeenth century. How many of these subgenres capture the attention of the early fugue composers? To what extent were the subgenres regarded as distinct? There is no reason that Robison, publishing this edition of Klemms fugues just two years after Dreyfuss book came out, would have considered such questions closely. After all, the main event is the music, and this is very clean, admitting only the most insignificant errors (an occasional dropped tie). Prof. Robisons introduction provides a solid account of Klemms approach to traditional fugal characteristics and makes several interesting observations. When analyzing Klemms tendencies in constructing his subjects, Robison finds a couple of melodic borrowings from contemporary keyboard composers, including one from Frescobaldi: Klemms Fuga IV uses the same subject as the Recercar Terzo from Frescobaldis Primo libro di capricci, canzon francese e recercari (1626). Robison advisedly observes that the subject in question is a commonplace idea. He may have been thinking about theorists, like Zarlino, who suggest that there is hardly any subject that has not been used a thousand million times by other composers.3 Despite such prudent caution, it is worth observing that Klemm does specially distinguish his treatment of this theme. The answer immediately presents the subject in melodic inversion, and he works out the rest of the piece as a counterfugue. None of Klemms other thirty-five does this so quickly, explicitly, or thoroughly. Klemm may well have been thinking in terms of homage or competition. 2.2 Another case in the Partitura does reinforce the impression that Klemms fugues suffer from poverty of melodic invention. The subjects of Fugae I and XV are very similar, the only difference being that the latter is longer, incorporating both an upper and lower neighbor to the initial pitch where Fuga I has just the upper neighbor. 2.3 Formal procedures in Klemms fugues occupy much of Robisons attention, and as we might expect from close attention to real music—as opposed to a textbook pattern—Robison finds considerable variety in the way Klemm works out his materials. Expositions comprise one or two statements of the subject per voice, generally with real answers, and there is no fixed pattern of whether the subject will be introduced on the first or fifth scale degree. Contrapuntal passages that intervene between subsequent subject entries tend to be brief and non-thematic. Robison rightly emphasizes Klemms interest in stretto at the end of his fugues. He notes, for instance, that Fuga XXIV concludes with ten statements of the subject in stretto (this in mm. 68–81). It is also true, however, that Klemm typically begins his exploration of stretto possibilities by the midpoint of a fugue, and Fuga XXIV is no exception (modified stretto combinations occur there in mm. 39–42, 44–47, etc.). Klemm also seems fond of a final entry at the very end of the piece. 3. Subgenres and Tonal Relationships3.1 Robisons introduction makes some headway towards a consideration of fugal subgenres. He mentions that some ten of the fugues use two subjects and in this context germanely draws attention to Reinckens description of double fugue in which two subjects may be treated together, separately, and simultaneously against one another (p. ix). Klemms double fugues do not invariably conform to this, because in some cases the two subjects are in fact quite closely related—they seem in effect to be just the first and second halves of the subject and are usually heard contiguously with the other (cf. Fuga XVI). On the other hand, there are cases where, though the countersubject seems like a continuation of the subject, Klemm goes on to treat them independently (cf. Fuga XXX). Willi Apel notes this unusual procedure in Klemms fugues but does not associate it with the issue of double fugue.4 Such questions about the nature of Klemms subgenre of double fugue may in themselves seem insignificant, but they begin to flesh out the seventeenth-century context that served as a foundation for later composers, including J.S. Bach. It is precisely this ambiguity in how a subject is to be analyzed that leads Dreyfus, for instance, to note how the idea of a double fugue with one subject, while unfamiliar today, has an intuitive appeal in making sense of Bachs fugues.5 The Klemm fugues may well provide additional ways for thinking about the subgenres of the fugue during the Baroque. 3.2 Although Robison does not draw attention to it, one of the most important contributions he makes to our understanding of the Klemm fugues concerns a misapprehension about them that Apel introduced. This confusion involves the tonal relationship between subject entries in the exposition. Apel tried to distinguish Klemms harmonic approach from the classic type of treatment according to which tonic and dominant entries establish the tonality. Klemm was made the proponent of the subdominant answer, as suggested by Apels analysis of a number of these fugues. He identified I–IV–I as the usual tonal sequence for the expositions of the three-voice fugues and mentioned the following possibilities for those in four voices: I–IV–IV–I, I–IV–IV–IV, and I–IV–I–I. From such patterns one understandably infers that Klemm favors the subdominant answer. But such conclusions sharply misrepresent Klemms procedures (see example1, the fugue in the first tone for four voices). Apel identifies this as the I–IV–IV–I type, and it is indeed true that the first answer is at the fourth (i.e., the fifth below). But it is still clearer that there is no I–IV progression here. Rather, the crucial fact is the modal identification—the first tone (C1-natural system-D)—which allows us to see that the first voice (tenor) opens on the fifth modal degree and is then answered by a statement on the first degree. In the introduction Robison avoids Apels problem; he identifies the relationship between subject entries simply by stating the scale degree on which they begin (e.g., for the example above, ^5-^1-^1-^5). This method of relating entries proves far more helpful to an understanding of Klemms pieces and reflects the important constructive role that mode plays. 3.3 It is however possible to go further than Robison recognizes in accounting for the particular scale degrees on which the subject entries occur. In the vast majority of initial subject entries Klemm maintains an inseparable relationship between a particular voice range and the scale degree on which the subject enters in that voice. Klemms use of open score means that he can indicate different ranges simply by means of cleffing. Like Frescobaldi in his Primo libro di . . . recercari, Klemm sticks with the combinations of clefs familiar from choral music, using in the four-voice fugues either the normal clefs (C1 C3 C4 F4) or chiavette (G2 C2 C3 F3). Robison indicates these original clefs at the beginning of each fugue.6 Working with the standard four-part cleffing Klemm predictably adopts some classical aspects of voice disposition. To see how this works out, we can consider again the preceding example from Fuga XXV. Having fashioned the subject, Klemm had already predetermined where that subject would fall within each voice range. In this case the subject rises from the fifth degree to final in the tenor, filling out the upper tetrachord of its authentic (mode one) ambitus, d-d'. For the bass in mode one, then, Klemm takes its ambitus (plagal by tradition), A-a, and finds the same relative position, now rising from the final to fourth degree. This interlocking pattern of the tenor-bass ranges is then duplicated an octave above by soprano and alto. It is thus the disposition of the voice entries themselves which give rise to the ^5-^1-^1-^5 pattern of subject entries in the exposition, not abstract matters of harmonic direction. It is a matter of dispositio in the rhetoricians terminology, not large-scale harmonic planning. 4. A Gradus ad Parnassum4.1 Looking beyond the constructive aspects of the individual fugues and their modal organization, we can identify other goals Klemm has for the design of the Partitura. Though it may seem trivial, it is worth noting that the fugues are arranged most generally by the number of voices, and secondarily by their modal identification. This suggests a graded approach, and Robison finds support for this notion in the open-score format—a sign that Klemms collection is partly pedagogical in nature by clearly delineating the individual polyphonic lines in relation to one another (p. viii). Friedrich Riedel made similar comments about Klemms print, situating it near the inception of a long tradition of Lehrbücher der Fugenkomposition.7 Features within individual fugues also support this pedagogical interpretation. If we look over the twelve fugues for two voices, for instance, we find that the subjects generally increase in length (e.g., Fuga I has a subject of just over two breves whereas XII occupies five breves), and other complications are also gradually introduced, like diminutions, sequential melodic treatment, and syncopation. For Klemm, apparently, part of what defines a fugue is its pedagogical function, and he himself may have used these fugues in a similar way. As he states in a preface to the volume (which Robison translates in an appendix to his introduction), he played some of these works in the context of public juries (p. xiii). 4.2 Fuxs conviction that fugue offers one of the chief ways to develop skill in equal-part writing provides a kind of apotheosis for this pedagogical aspect of the genre. It serves as an important rung on his gradus to a musical Mount Parnassus. Klemm may have had similar ideas for his collection. The final fugue in his collection takes up the hexachord motif—a stepwise ascent from the final up through the sixth above. Surely Klemm imagines his subject with its traditional associations of the scala caeli, the divine ladder which, if not quite allowing one to ascend bodily to heaven, at least allows one to witness the angels descending from the celestial realm. If so, Klemm has left us his own version of a Gradus ad Parnassum. ReferencesStephen Miller (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Jordan Johnson, 20, detailed for jurors in Missoula the extent of his relationship with a coed who later accused him of raping her, ABC Sports reported Tuesday.
Johnson said he and the woman exchanged text messages about classes before they started seeing each other in person.
"She came to my dorm room and I came to her dorm room," he told the court.
Police testified on the night of the alleged incident the woman invited Johnson to her room to watch a movie.
Johnson said the two began kissing on the woman's bed before things went further.
"If she had said stop or no, I would have stopped," he testified.
A month-and-a-half later, the woman reported to police that Johnson raped her.

Good for winter
"Looks warm and comfy. Color is great. The only disadvantage is the wide calf circumference. My legs are thin, so the boots do not stand but fall off a little bit. However, my friends say they thought the style was like that. So it does not matter that much."

Good Shoes but not exact color I wanted
"I was disappointed that the shoes that had arrived was a typical brown color. I thought the shoes color was more like a yelloish bright brown.Size was perfect! Very Comfy and warm though!"

Yeah, I abuse you dudes
I don't buy twitter followers and youtube views
I don't need an application, to show me the facts of plating
You have to retract statements, through the truth you scuse
I don't masquerade this humble and mumble on speaking text
I don't disregard people with talents I see of threats
Desperate niggas thirst for attention, surfing in mentions
With certain intentions, never to think this was worth attention
And real niggas feel me, bitch niggas loads me
I betrayed the real me, who can ever expose me
I display anguish through facts,
My father pay for my tuition, bustin tables
What's more gangster than that?
And I'ma pay him back with laying raps
Never to slack and laying back
They overlooked in my own region like the chelain blacks
I refuse to keep playin in this decayin trap
Now it's to the point I'm reluctant to even say I rap
And can you blame me or sustain thee
Living love importance was dormant until they changed me
Then they label me angry, but ain't greed?
The same sea from which the do spawn
Over a few quams, few songs and couple shows
Couple doughs with your grief
It's so sweet to see my success has passed your belief, yeah
More rappin and less spammin
More time recordin and less of a instagramin
More metaphorin, exploring forms to exploit your path
Point loud, voice to craft, how you still avoiding past
Expecting me to accept the plead,
To accept the breed, except the v
Second these niggas show disrespect for me
Recipe of jealousy, stuck inside of the breath of these
Thirsty ass niggas wish nothing less than the death of me
But I'm still here when I'm breathing well
Streets can tell when a real nigga has breached the feats of hell
People preachin they smile, showin they teeth as well
Till they face to face with the beast,
Reaching to see the well
So take us at the speed, my spirit is incomplete
My lyrics were meant to reach
Deep inside our secrets dwell
These other niggas deceiving and they can't even tell
They wanna see em fail, yeah.

( Originally Published 1927 )
IF there be one State in the Union, and I say it not in a boasting spirit, that may challenge comparison with any other, for an uniform, zealous, ardent, and uncalculating devotion to the Union, that State is South Carolina.
From the very commencement of the Revolution, up to this hour, there is no sacrifice, however great, she has not cheerfully made, no service she has even hesitated to perform. She has adhered to you, in your prosperity; but in your adversity she has clung to you with more than filial affection. No matter what was the condition of her domestic affairs, though deprived of her resources, divided by parties, or surrounded by difficulties, the call of the country has been to her as the voice of God. Domestic discord ceased at the sound ; every man became at once reconciled to his brethren, and the sons of Carolina were all seen crowding together to the temple, bringing their gifts to the altar of their common country.
What was the conduct of the South during the Revolution? I honor New England for her conduct in that glorious struggle. But, great as is the praise which belongs to her, I think at least equal honor is due to the South. They espoused the quarrel of their brethren with a generous zeal which did not suffer them to stop to calculate their interest in the dispute. Favorites 0f the mother-country, possessed of neither ships nor seamen to create a commercial rivalship, they might have found, in their situation, a guarantee that their trade would be forever fostered and protected by Great Britain. But, trampling on all considerations, either of interest or of safety, they rushed into the conflict; and, fighting for principle, periled all in the sacred cause of freedom. Never was there exhibited in the history of the world higher examples of noble daring, dreadful suffering, and heroic endurance than by the Whigs of Carolina during the Revolution! The whole state, from the mountains to the sea, was overrun by an overwhelming force of the enemy. The fruits of industry perished on the spot where they were produced, or were consumed by the foe. The " Plains of Carolina " drank up the most precious blood of her citizens. Black and smoking.ruins marked the places which had been the habitations of her children. Driven from their homes, into the gloomy and almost impenetrable swamps, even there the spirit of liberty survived, and South Carolina, sustained by the example of her Sumters and her Marions, proved, by her conduct, that, though her soil might be overrun, the spirit of her people was invincible.
