Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695)
The Fairy Queen
Henry Purcell, one of the greatest English composers, before English music was overwhelmed by the activities of Handel in the next century, was born in 1659, the son of a musician Thomas Purcell and nephew of Henry Purcell, both of whom served as gentlemen of the Chapel Royal after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. At the age of ten the younger Henry Purcell became a chorister at the Chapel Royal under Captain Henry Cooke, who had been charged with the task of reviving the Chapel after the years of Commonwealth rule under Cromwell. In 1672 Cooke died and was succeeded as master of the children of the Chapel Royal by Pelham Humfrey, who had been sent to study abroad in France and Italy, after great success as a boy chorister and composer. Purcell took lessons from Humfrey, and two years later, after the latter's early death, from John Blow, the new master of the children. The same year brought the appointment of Purcell, whose voice had by now broken, as organ tuner at Westminster Abbey, where he became organist five years later, in 1679. His position as a composer had already been acknowledged by appointment in 1677 as composer in ordinary for the Twenty-Four Violins of the King, the group of musicians established by Charles II in imitation of the practice of the French court.
Purcell's career went on as it had begun, with continuing royal favour, allowing the composition of a series of Welcome Songs and Odes for the celebration of royal occasions and appointment to the king's private music under James II and William III, in addition to appointment as an organist at the Chapel Royal. Under the joint monarchy of William and Mary he provided notable music for the Queen's birthdays, as he did for her death which took place in late December 1694. Eleven months later Purcell himself was dead, having caught cold, it was later rumoured, from being locked out by his wife, tired of his late hours. As a composer he had written a large amount of music, sacred and secular. In addition to the Odes and Welcome Songs were anthems, service settings, hymns, psalms and sacred songs. His secular songs included catches, three-part songs, duets and solo songs with continuo. Instrumental music by Purcell ranges from relatively conservative compositions for groups of string instruments to sets of trio sonatas that acknowledge a debt to Italy, and suites for harpsichord. Over a period of some fifteen years he wrote music for the theatre, providing music for plays from Nathanael Lee's tragedy Theodosius in 1680 to the stuttering poet Thomas D'Urfey's Comical History of Don Quixote in 1695. He enjoyed a particularly close association with the United Companies, formed from the Dorset Gardens and Drury Lane companies, during the last seven years of his life.
Opera, an art that had developed in Italy throughout the seventeenth century and in France with Lully had reached a high degree of dramatic sophistication, had found no proper permanent place in London, and was not to do so until Handel settled there as a composer of Italian opera. As a genre Italian opera was, in any case, to arouse in some quarters a measure of ridicule for its lack of apparent dramatic realism, a critical attitude fomented by linguistic and national prejudices. Purcell himself wrote only one short English opera, Dido and Aeneas, for performance at a Chelsea boarding-school for young ladies. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, however, there developed in London a form that has come to be known as semi-opera. While plays always had a place for songs and musical interludes of one sort or another, the semi-opera included a larger musical element as a necessary part of a play, although the music was generally confined to subsidiary characters, spirits, fairies or demons. The five semi-operas by Purcell are The Prophetess or The History of Dioclesian, King Arthur or The British Worthy, The Tempest or The Enchanted Isle, The Indian Queen and The Fairy Queen. These works all belong to the 1690s, with The Fairy Queen, an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream now conjecturally attributed to Thomas Betterton, first staged at Dorset Gardens in 1692 and revised for further performances in the following February. This was Purcell's third work in this form, after Dioclesian and King Arthur. The lavish production cost £3000 and, while it proved popular, it brought little profit to the company.
Keith Anderson
About this recording:
The music for "The Fairy Queen" is clearly separated from the action of the play. The music contains no parts for singing actors and the singers take no part in the play. Indeed, it was observed at the time that not only was putting on the performance of the play together with Purcell's music an enormous expense but also "some would come for the music - others for the play". The conclusion was that it was "best to have either by itself".
Previous recordings of the Fairy Queen logically contain the music "by itself", but perhaps less logically have included all the music in the order in which it appears in the Purcell Society score without allowing for the fact that some of it is not related at all to the five self-contained masques which make up the music for each Act. The Scholars Baroque Ensemble, therefore, choose to start with the Overture and then present the music which is an integral part of each masque. All instrumental music related only to the play has been put together at the end of the 2nd CD as an Appendix.
The Scholars Baroque Ensemble are grateful for the help and advice from Purcell specialists Andrew Pinnock and Bruce Wood in preparing their own edition of The Fairy Queen. The Haymakers' Dance is put where it belongs at the end of the Dialogue between Coridon and Mopsa; The Plaint is recorded for the first time with an oboe obbligato and the chaconne is identified as the "missing" Grand Dance and put in its rightful place just before the vocal finale.
David van Asch
THE SCHOLARS BAROQUE ENSEMBLE was founded in l987 by David van Asch with the idea of complementing the "a capella" work of the vocal quartet THE SCHOLARS. This group, consisting also of the soprano Kym Amps, counter tenor Angus Davidson and tenor Robin Doveton, has had worldwide success during the last twenty years.
The members of The Scholars Baroque Ensemble are all specialists in the field of Baroque music and play original instruments (or copies) using contemporary techniques. Singers and players work together without a Director to produce their own versions of great baroque masterworks such as the St. John Passion by Bach, the 1610 Vespers by Monteverdi, The Fairy Queen by Purcell and the Messiah and Acis and Galatea by Handel, all of which are being released by Naxos.
Performances by The Scholars Baroque Ensemble have been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, perhaps because the artistic aim of the ensemble goes far beyond that of so-called "authenticity"; more important is the clarity and vitality achieved by the use of a minimum number of players and singers to a part (often only one), a common practice in the 17th and 18th centuries.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Lefty Jaime Garcia, who thrives at home with a career 20-11 record and 2.48 ERA, gets the call in the series opener against Mat Latos and the Reds, who finished a comfortable nine games ahead of St. Louis last season. The Cardinals are 3-3 after building momentum at the expense of the World Series champion Giants, the team they let off the hook in the NL championship series, pummeling ace Matt Cain in the series finale while taking two of three.
"We don't draw it up, so we just have to compete with whatever they give us," manager Mike Matheny said. "It's a great test, no question about it. You want to have everybody clicking early on and get off to a good start, but we also understand it's a long season."
Before the end of the month, they'll also face the NL East champion Nationals, a Phillies team that has returned to health and the Reds again. The wild-card Cardinals beat the Braves in a one-game playoff and then rallied to eliminate Washington before collapsing in San Francisco.
"I think you want to find out where you are as early as possible," Descalso said. "The way you find out is by playing other tough teams."
After watching the Giants trot out their title trophy, the Cardinals will show off hardware from four of their championship teams: 1967, 1982, 2006 and 2011. Players will drink in the heady atmosphere of perhaps the city's biggest annual event, with Gov. Jay Nixon and Mayor Francis Slay among the dignitaries expected to attend.
"St. Louis is a great city and baseball town," catcher Yadier Molina said. "I can't wait to get there."
The same goes for third baseman David Freese, hopeful of returning for the opener off a short rehab stint from a back injury with Triple-A Memphis, although Matheny cautioned that "it's not automatic."
The Reds are coming off a strong 4-2 opening homestand against two teams that are expected to contend, putting up six runs on Stephen Strasburg on Sunday and taking two of three from the Nationals and Angels. Todd Frazier is second on the NL with a .480 average, leads the league with 12 hits including three homers, and is tied for first with nine RBIs. Newcomer Shin-Soo Choo also is off to a fast start with three homers.
"St. Louis is always a good place to play," Jay Bruce said. "The fans come out every day, it's always packed. There's always a good feel there."
The Cardinals have dominated at home against the Reds, who have won just three series and split two out of 27 chances dating to 2003. The Reds are far from intimidated.
"We'll take them one game at a time," manager Dusty Baker said. "Let's enjoy this one, go there, have a nice dinner and get some sleep."
Lance Lynn (0-0) faces Bronson Arroyo (1-0) in the second game of the series on Tuesday, with Jake Westbrook (0-1) opposing Homer Bailey (1-0) in the finale.
The Reds set a franchise record with 52 strikeouts the first five games, and Johnny Cueto and three relievers combined for 10 strikeouts on Sunday.

Comment: Re:c++? (Score 2) 407
I'm not sure that's really fair to Obj-C. Another way to explain the differences would be to say that Obj-C comes from the Smalltalk family of OO languages and C++ comes from Simula.
Smalltalk-family languages (eg. also Ruby, Swift, etc.) have late binding: you can join up things at runtime. This is great for GUIs, many common patterns become far easier. Simula-family languages are much more rigid. Almost everything is known at compile-time, so it's safer, but the rigidity makes some things harder to implement.
Writing a GUI in plain C++ is very painful, so all toolkits (that I can think of) add a late binding mechanism. Qt, for example, has signals and slots. Seen from this angle, Obj-C is something like Qt, but with the signal/slot mechanism made part of the core language and syntax.

I'm not sure what to do about it, but it makes me so sad. Our government spends so much money on so many things, but the first thing to cut is funding to feed pregnant women and little ones. I believe this bill still has to go through the senate, but I'm not sure. Please urge your senators to vote in favor of food aid to moms and children.
Big surprise "no cuts for big oil/gas". Thanks for posting this thread. Many american's are asleep. Our children need to be first! Not industry. Think about it, for many low income families WIC is the reason there are any healthy foods coming in the house. Fresh fruits/ vegetables, cheese, rice, cereal, not just milk.
Wake up, from the democratic/republican conditioning we have all been fed all of our lives. For our children, we must revolt. Vote against the two party system. Massive corporations control our country. They buy the elections, they (the lobbies) already own whoever wins the democratic or republican ticket. Our parents threw their hands up in despair lamenting that "you can't change things." So they couldn't. Our heads are full of lies about eachother. Our hearts must be awakened. Think with your heart, your children do.
OMG! that is one messed up bunch of crud! it is hard to ever read the whole thing. why do we care so little for children and our food supply? i just don't understand it at all. :(

Why not the GOVERNMENT take a pay cut? Pres. should be first in line.
one person taking a pay cut won't fix it. i think all of congress should. along with not getting all their perks and bennies and great health insurance all paid for by the people.
mama to 7 amazing children married to my main man for 24 years and finally home FULL time
That is what meant!!!! All of them!!! Every last one....let them see what having a pay cut feels like.
Uh, how about we not pay for two endless wars. . .
Shame on those republicans who are supporting this.
like pp said, why this first? surely they could cut something else...

Is Roddick's serve really that great...

Well, one thing is to hit aces, but I think that Roddick gets a lot more service winners. Fed put his racquet on a lot of balls, but he also missed a lot of those. Roddick's kick serve isn't meant to be an ace, but rather something that will keep him the advantage in the point. Honestly, aces aren't that important if you win the point one way or another. The fact remains that his serve cannot be attacked easily. It can be returned, but not attacked. I mean that on a consistent basis.
The more important stat is first serve points won, and not aces. I never liked Roddick's game, but I have to give him credit for having the best serve in the game right now.

Gear Question

I would like to have two bags, zipped...
I would like to have two bags, zipped together for van camping. One should have a right hand zipper and one a left hand zipper, correct? I was looking at this bag but it only comes with right hand zipper. What do you suggest? Mixing this bag with another?
v carpenter
One bag will be on top of the other, rather than each bag side to side. the right zipper on the top will become a left on the bottom. We have two identical bags and zip together top and bottom constantly for both van and tent camping. You just need to ascertain that your bag opens all the way flat.

Should I stop doing this?

Pamela Anderson, mother of the year? Despite her party girl persona, the former Baywatch star has always been devoted to her sons Brandon, 18, and Dylan, 16, by ex Tommy Lee. And now, RadarOnline.com has learned, she's turned to them as her marriage to Rick Salomon unravels, focusing on her family to keep her life — and her sobriety — on course.
"Brandon and Thomas liked Rick and were glad he and Pam were married," a source close to Anderson tells Radar exclusively. But now, "They are being extremely supportive of their mom," whatever she decides to do.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Been Divorced Twice Before 40
The Baywatch star first married Salomon in 2007, but the marriage was annulled after two months. She then announced in January that she had married him a second time and, on July 3, filed divorce papers with the Superior Court of Los Angeles citing irreconcilable differences. The two have since been spotted making out in public, and sources tell Radar a reconciliation seems "likely."
Through all the ups and downs, she's been able to count on her sons' support, according to a source.

"She is very close to her boys and has always made them a top priority in her life," the source said. "Despite her at times wild ways, she has always been a great mother to her two boys, taking them to soccer practice, dropping them off at school, whatever they needed."
"She is a very hands-on mother and has never relied on nannies," the source continued. "She has always taken a very active role in their lives and they love and care for Pamela very much."

Interiors (04/12)
Raging Bull (1980). Director: Martin Scorsese. Interiors is a monthly journal where we analyze and diagram the space of certain films.
INTERIORS + Mehruss Jon Ahi & Armen Karaoghlanian Raging Bull 04/2012 "The various shapes and sizes of the boxing rings in Raging Bull emphasize either Jake LaMotta's domination or deterioration." Interiors: Issue 4 (04/2012) Film: Raging Bull (1980) Director: Martin Scorsese Raging Bull (1980) was Martin Scorsese's swan song. The lmmaker assumed this would be his nal motion picture and thus put his heart and soul into the lm. Martin Scorsese has stated, "I put everything I knew and felt into that lm, and I thought it would be the end of my career." The lmmaker calls this a "kamikaze" way of making lms, in which he would pour everything he knew about cinema into this lm and then move on and nd another way of life. The lm demonstrates his artistic skill, but it's also a showcase for visual design in cinema. The lm focuses on Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro), a boxing champion whose professional life spills into his personal life. Martin Scorsese uses elements of visual design as a method of commenting on Jake's rise and fall. The various shapes and sizes of the boxing rings in Raging Bull emphasize either Jake LaMotta's domination or deterioration. Jake LaMotta is placed in small boxing rings when he is dominating, which accentuates his physical size and strength. In the course of the lm, as his personal and professional life declines, he is placed in wider and larger boxing rings, creating the impression that he his physical strength is deteriorating. The size of the boxing rings also in uence camera movements. The wider boxing ring allows for maximum camera movement, such as wide shots and circling around the ghters, whereas a smaller boxing ring is used for close-ups of the ghters, allowing for an emphasis in the details of their punches. Jake LaMotta's main rival inside the ring is Sugar Ray Robinson, and in analyzing their rst and nal encounters, we are provided with an understanding of how space is used. Martin Scorsese brings his camera into the ring with this lm and stages each ght differently; the rst ght consists mainly of objective shots, whereas their nal ght consists of subjective shots, showing us Jake's personal reaction within the boxing ring. The boxing ring in their rst meeting (Detroit, 1943) is surprisingly unproportional. The wide ring allows for an objective lming style of the ght between both boxers. Jake LaMotta's rst meeting with Sugar Ray Robinson is introduced immediately after Jake meets Vickie. In his father's home, Jake and Vickie begin kissing, as their date transitions into the ght itself. This provides us with an immediate contrast between love and ghting. In both instances � lovemaking and ghting � Jake is physical. In their rst meeting together, we discover that Sugar Ray is undefeated. Jake begins dominating Sugar Ray, and soon knocks him over the ropes, where Sugar Ray lands on his back. The rst diagram emphasizes this particular moment in the ght. This is the rst time in Sugar Ray's career that he has been knocked down. Martin Scorsese's use of space shows us how Jake's anger and rage spills outside the ring. Sugar Ray is literally knocked outside of the ring as he hangs on the side of the boxing ring. In this instance, as Sugar Ray is knocked down, Martin Scorsese uses fast motion. In capturing his fall, he then cuts onto Jake, where he incorporates slow motion. The contrast allows Jake to appear superior over his opponent. Jake's win over Sugar Ray also represents his masculinity, a characteristic that is exempli ed in his love scene with Vickie. The juxtaposition of ghting and lovemaking also suggests Jake's inability to differentiate between the two. Jake's personal and professional life begin merging during this time in the lm. The lm uses boxing scenes as an emblem of the violence that encompasses Jake's life. Jake is incapable of dealing with people around him without resorting to violence. Vickie and Sugar Ray both play essential roles in Jake's life inside and outside the ring. Vickie ultimately becomes his life partner (personal life, outside the ring) while Sugar Ray becomes his frequent rival (professional life, inside the ring). Boxing Ring Plan_1 (00:32:05) Boxing Ring Plan_2 (01:39:13) The use of a wider boxing ring during their rst meeting allows for the camera to participate during their ght. It's interesting to note, however, that as soon as the ght ends and the judges declare their winner, the boxing ring is back to its normal size. The ghters and coaches are no longer in the unproportional ring as exempli ed in our rst diagram. The ring shown is a standard size boxing ring. The nal encounter between Jake LaMotta and Sugar Ray Robinson (Chicago, 1951) comes after Jake's ght with his family members. Jake's viciousness infests his personal life as he beats his wife, Vickie, and his brother, Joey. This provides us with a stark contrast between Jake's rst encounter with Sugar Ray, which came during a time of love in his personal life. In his nal encounter with Sugar Ray, Jake's personal life is on a decline, and the ght itself focuses on his deterioration. This ght begins with an exhausted Jake LaMotta, unlike his rst encounter with Sugar Ray, which begins on a shot of their feet, skipping gracefully. Jake sits in his corner, beaten. This image of Jake LaMotta becomes a religious illustration as well. Jake's chest and back are sponged off with bloody water. This represents Jake's cruci xion. The visual design of the ght itself also demonstrates his deterioration inside the ring. In their nal meeting, we are provided with an intensi ed ghting atmosphere. In comparison to his other ghts, this becomes the most intense battle of them all. The jungle-like atmosphere within the ring is exempli ed with the distortion in the soundtrack, which includes a combination of animal cries and shrieks and airplanes motors, all of which are undistinguishable because of their mixing. The noise of the audience is also muffled resembling Jake's subjective state of consciousness. The size of the boxing ring is much smaller than their rst ght together. This is primarily because of the lack of wide shots. The close-ups of the ghters in this scene bring us closer to the action. The extensive use of slow motion and dense smoke and fog contributes to the feeling of alienation. The audience is never visible during close-ups of the ghters. The photographer's cameras are also much louder and intensi ed. The breaking of the ashbulbs resembles hisses that scream at the ghters. This presents us with a distortion of reality, as our focus is shifted onto Jake's subjective reaction to the world. Jake's diminishing stature is also emphasized through the space of the ring and the subjective camerawork. In the nal series of brutal punches, which were edited in the style of the famous shower sequence from Psycho (1960), we are provided with a point of view shot of Sugar Ray. The use of slow motion shows us Jake's weakening state of mind. The track-forward and zooming-out of Sugar Ray makes him appear larger and more monstrous. This also makes the standard sized boxing ring appear as if it's stretching, emphasizing the space within the ring itself. The use of space in this instance is subjective; Sugar Ray appears even more threatening. The boxing ring, in this sense, becomes overwhelming in its size. This also expresses Jake's overwhelming feelings of insecurity, jealousy and inferiority that plague him throughout the rest of the lm. Martin Scorsese closes the scene with a panning camera that captures both ghters and their coaches, ending with an image of Jake's blood dripping from the ropes. The bloody ropes become a harsh reminder of Jake's brutal defeat. These decisions also portray Jake as weak, both physically and emotionally, and comments on space, not just within the ring itself, but outside the ring as well. In cutting away from the action onto Joey and his wife in their home, who are watching the ght on television, we are provided with a sense of distance. Jake's supportive brother, who was once beside him during all his ghts, encouraging him, is no longer by his side. Martin Scorsese's use of space comments on Jake LaMotta's deterioration, and also comments on the suggested space and distance that exists between the two brothers.

Contrasting Leadership Styles and Outcomes in China and Japan
China has prospered in recent years although it has been undertaking the extraordinarily difficult transition to a market economy. Why has Japan floundered over the same period despite tremendous initial advantages? Can this be traced to the differences in leadership and leadership styles between the two countries?
The Kravis Leadership Institute has asked William H. Overholt to discuss the role of leadership, economics, and the impact of strategic governmental policies in Japan and China, based on his broad experience working and traveling in Asia and serving as advisor to major Asian political figures. Overholt holds the Center for Asia Pacific Policy Chair at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California. Educated at Harvard and Yale, he has had a distinguished career assessing political risk and financial strategy throughout Asia and other world regions.

Medium depth, red, crimson in color. Lifted blueberry, black currant and cassis tickle the nostrils with integrated biscuit French oak adding to the aroma. Increasing the complexity are chocolate, black olive and liquorice nuances. Lovely, bright, primary fruit flows over the tongue, mingling with briary spice and herbaceous hints. Medium bodied yet full of flavour, ending in a long, dry and youthfully austere finish.
Christian planted his first acre of vines on the estate. The variety was Shiraz and the vines are still producing fruit today. Auricht's old vineyard is the source of Langmeil Winery's single vineyard Shiraz. This rare wine commemorates the pioneering spirit of the first settlers and, because of their willingness to endure so much hardship for the right to keep their faith, it has been named The Freedom 1843 Shiraz. The vineyard is believed to be one of the oldest known surviving Shiraz vineyards in the world (pictured here).
The property was purchased in 1996 by three local mates whose families have lived in the Barossa Valley for several generations: Richard Lindner, Carl Lindner and Chris Bitter. They restored the remaining old buildings and the village well and beautified the gardens. As a tribute to the early pioneers, the new owners refurbished the old winery and named it Langmeil, after the original village.
Langmeil's award winning premium range is internationally recognized and has contributed towards the winery being regarded as one of the top premium wine producers in Australia
Franciscan was founded in 1972 by a group of lawyers and doctors from San Francisco who decided to try turning their passion for wine into a business. In 1985, Agustin Huneeus, a Chilean exile who had built Concha y Toro in his native country, took over the helm at Franciscan. Huneeus refocused the winery on using the superlative grapes growing in its own vineyards, rather than sourcing from outside.
Today, Franciscan's wines are crafted under the exacting eye of Janet Myers, who came to Franciscan in August 2003 as associate winemaker after working in the Margaret River region and Beaulieu Vineyard, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Louis Martini. The winery remains committed to its tradition of small-lot winemaking, with small batches averaging just 150 to 1,500 cases. The image of a hand-operated wine press on Franciscan's logo and wine labels reflects this small lot approach to winemaking.
Caymus Special Selection is the flagship wine of the Wagner family and is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage. This wine is not produced in difficult years. Caymus Napa Valley is more representative of a standard Cabernet of Napa Valley, as it is a bit less precocious than the Special Selection, but still delivers big. Caymus prides itself on producing wines that are as approachable in youth as well at maturity. Both the "Napa Valley" and "Special Selection" Cabernets are produced under the winemaking hand of Chuck Wagner.

The basic story stems back to the Liverpool fans going to away matches in the late 70's/early 80's and seeing all these unknown brands like Fila, Tacchini and Diadora. Up until then, you either wore trainers for 'sport' or Adidas Gazelle or Samba. Nike Wimbledon's and Adidas SS were really only popular from about 1981/82. By then though, there were also a number of Adidas shoes coming through, like the Grand Slam, Nastase and Forest Hills, not to mention they also had a shoe called Wimbledon. Unheard of today....could you imagine seeing Adidas Vapour's!! The Bruin and Adidas Superstar, both bball shoes were only popular from the Back to the Future movie and Run DMC. But I too don't ever recall seeing ad's for Nike, it was just a case of seeing Mac wearing them and getting the same.

DETROIT — The only thing more noticeable than Lou Engle saying he was going to pray that Muslims would have "dreams of Jesus" during his marathon 24-hour prayer gathering over the weekend in Detroit were the efforts he undertook to show that he was all about sensitivity to minorities.
From the American Indians dancing in full-feathered dress to his proclamation a few hours later that he chose Detroit in a nod to black Americans' sufferings, Engle carefully avoided the anti-Muslim rhetoric for which he is known and emphasized his affinity with minorities instead. Indeed, he described Detroit as the final stop on the underground railroad, the end of "black America's trail of tears," in explaining why he chose the city for the interfaith event that began Friday.
This was the same man who earlier had said that Muslims are "fueling the demonic realm" and in the thrall of "spiritual dark powers." But after widespread criticism of the event — Engle seemed at pains to avoid any semblance of intolerance.
Instead, he asked his audience to ask God to bring Muslims particular dreams. "We're actually calling people to stay all night long and worship in the night watch," he said Friday. "We are going to pray in the night watch that the love of Jesus would break in on Muslims all across this area with dreams of Jesus."
And pray they did, as many as 30,000 according to one estimate. Through the night, they swelled the stands of Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, as if they had come for a rock festival. Some dozed as the night dragged on with their hands reverently clasped, or rocked gently in their seats. Others danced in the field and yelled, shook and wept as they circled a towering steel cross lit with glowing yellow lights near the 40-yard line.
For a decade, The Call has been one of the festivals Engle has led to energize young Christians to oppose abortion, homosexuality, and pray for the recovery of what he sees as a morally bankrupt nation. But this year, it all came under increased scrutiny. Detroit was no coincidental locale, after all. The city and neighboring Dearborn, Mich., are home to one of the nation's largest Muslim populations. The state has also been hit by the downturn in the economy. People are hurting and looking for help.
But news of Engle's event quickly provoked controversy.
It began after several comments from Engle about Muslims that were quoted by the Family Research Council (FRC), a religious right group named as a hate group because of its animosity toward gays and lesbians. "The place where they say there is no hope — a microcosm of our national crisis — economic collapse, racial tensions, the rising tide the Islamic movement, and the shedding of our children's innocent blood on the streets …God has chosen as his staging ground for healing and prayer," Engle said of Detroit in an FRC release.
In a video that has since been taken down from The Call's website, Engle was more specific about his goal of converting Muslims. "You got to pray all night long because it's when the Muslims sleep," Engle said in the video. "We're gathering together to say, God, pour out your grace and revelations of Jesus all over Dearborn and the Muslim communities of North and South America."
Engle, who is a senior leader at the International House of Prayer (IHOP), a megachurch in Kansas City, Mo., is also an adherent of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, a highly energized culture in Christianity with close ties to groups opposing abortion and homosexuality. NAR adherents believe they have been tapped to be prophetic apostles to return the nation to God.
Holding himself out to be one of those prophets, Engle has held The Call every year since 2000, when the inaugural gathering in Washington, D.C., drew a remarkably large crowd. But perhaps no other gathering has been as symbolic of the harsh views Engle really represents than that held last year in Uganda, where Engle praised the country's "courage" and "righteousness" in considering a bill that would impose the death penalty on people who have AIDS and engage in gay sexual activity.
Evangelizing to the Muslims at home is a new role for Engle, however, and it comes at a time when rampant anti-Islamic rhetoric has already inspired an uptick in violence against Muslims. Recognizing this, a small group of pastors, including some from Detroit, denounced The Call as a deceptive disguise for hate.
For instance, the Rev. Charles Williams II, who leads Detroit's historic King Solomon Baptist Church, urged people to distance themselves from The Call and chastised the area's religious leaders who had signed on to be involved. "They went and got some of the biggest Africa-American pastors in the city of Detroit," Williams told The Detroit News. "They tricked them into believing this was a nice, goody-goody event. … And that's not really what the situation is."
Perhaps that excuses the pastors too quickly. It isn't hard to find out what drives Engle, nor is it hard to see the animus behind many of those who partnered with The Call to worship.
Anti-gay pastor Cindy Jacobs was there, offering shrill cries for the youth of America to arise as the donation baskets circled the stadium. As a pastor with her husband at Generals International, a group devoted to "spiritual warfare," she regularly proclaims that catastrophic natural phenomena are the product of God's anger over the nation's acceptance of homosexuality.
So was Rick Joyner, the pastor who has popularized a radical brand of militant Christianity preparing for the end of days.
In the waning hours of the event, Joyner took the stage and told the dwindling and exhausted crowd that the end of times was near. It was time to prepare. He didn't mention Islam by name—not many did after Engle's initial proclamation. But with all that had come before, he didn't really need to.
"We're among the ultimate time of the ultimate conflict of light and darkness," he said, pacing the stage in front of a quiet audience. "Make the crooked straight, because the Lord is coming."

MYSORE: A conference of the city and district units of the KSRTC Staff and Workers' Union here on Sunday took note of the Government's "failure" to protect the interest of the working class and expressed its apprehensions over the treatment being meted out to the KSRTC staff.
Nagaraj, secretary of the union, addressed the workers and alleged that neither the State Government nor the managements care for trade unions and workers in the four road transport corporations.
The 73,000 workers employed in the organisation are deprived of a decent living, he said and added that excessive fines, transfers, dismissals and increase in workload have become common.
Though the Government has promised to talk to workers directly, nothing much has happened, Mr. Nagaraj said.
"The coalition Government in the State has completed a year in office. Given the national political situation and the Common Minimum Programme of the Centre, it was expected that the State Government will do justice to the working class.
But all it has given so far is assurances while failing to protect the interests of the working class," he added.
The secretary of the union alleged that trade union members and leaders are being victimised by the Government despite the assurance given by the Chief Minister, N. Dharam Singh, to senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders in the country.
Beedi workers
He criticised the State Government for not implementing the Beedi Workers' Minimum Wages Notification, which came into force on October 24, 1996.
As a result of this beedi workers are getting less than the stipulated rate of Rs. 71.17 for 1,000 beedis rolled, he said.
"Though we have urged the Government to implement the notification, the latter has not done so as a result of which more than 10 lakh beedi workers have been deprived of their legitimate rights," Mr. Nagaraj said. H.R.Seshadri, general secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress district unit, cautioned the workers against the Government's move to privatise KSRTC and said it should be opposed vociferously at the initial stage so as to prevent the move from gaining momentum. It was announced that the KSRTC Staff and Workers' Federation and unions affiliated to the AITUC will organise a rally in Bangalore on July 30.
The rally is being organised to extend support to the CPI MPs who will sit on a dharna in front of the Chief Minister's house from 11 a.m. on July 30 to urge him to look into issues that are of bearing to the KSRTC and RTC workers.

While opposing sports ties with Pakistan following the killing of Indian soldiers on the borders, the Shiv Sena has castigated the BJP's Hindutva poster-boy and Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi for allowing the Pakistan cricket team to play a match at Rajkot.
An editorial in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna on Tuesday said that while the Gujarat government had turned away a 22-member Pakistani delegation which had come down to participate in the 'Vibrant Gujarat' summit due to India's strained relations with Pakistan, "a fortnight ago, the entire Pakistani cricket team was playing in Rajkot."
"If the Modi government had sent the Pakistani cricketers back in a similar manner, then there would have been another feather of patriotism in Gujarat's cap. At least Maharashtra and Gujarat must join hands to fight the battle against the Pakistanis," said the piece in the newspaper, which has Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray as the editor and Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut as the executive editor.
Incidentally, the late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray had declared his support for leader of the opposition Sushma Swaraj as the BJP led NDA's prime ministerial candidate instead of Modi.
"When it comes to patriotism, it is only the Shiv Sainik who takes blows to the chest," said the Sena, while referring to how the party cadre had driven away Pakistani hockey players who were due to participate in a practice match in Mumbai on Sunday.
"Is it solely the Shiv Sena's responsibility to pit its life for patriotism and against the Pakistanis? The country belongs to all. Hence all must participate in this struggle," it added.

Awesome stuff on Carrie Rodriguez, Shakey Graves and Brian T. Atkinson. I don't get the Eric Church-love, but I seem to be in the minority these days. ah well.
That's cool to see Corb Lund opening for Dierks and Miranda in Springfiled, MO in the spring. They should take Corb along on the entire tour as I'm sure he could use the money…(lol)
I truly hope the CMT "Next Women of Country" campaign actually has a major impact on Top 40 Airhead Country Radio! Yeah, when pigs fly anyway.
On last night's Music City Roots it was announced next week's live broadcast will stream from Tamworth, NSW Australia at 2 AM on Thursday morning January 24th! I don't expect many folks will watch that one live so it better make it into the archives. Crikey, mate!
That Nashville Scene "Best of 2012″ country album list is about as well balanced as I've seen. I still don't give a crap about the vast majority of music they listed, but at least the list is well balanced.
Is there any way for Sarah Buxton to take part in that CMT CRossroads episode featuring Stevie Nicks? Hey, maybe she can fill in for newly pregnant Hillary Scott! Stevie was Sarah's inspiration to pursue music as a lifestyle and career. Hopefully Sarah will at least be in the audience for the taping.

National League Preview from The Sports Network
Monday, July 23rd (All times Eastern)
Washington Nationals (55-39) at New York Mets (47-48), 7:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Washington - Jordan Zimmerman (7-6, 2.35) New York - Chris Young (2-4, 4.11)
(Sports Network) - Jordan Zimmermann and National League East-leading Washington Nationals kick off a key seven-game road trip tonight in Queens when they take on the reeling New York Mets.
After losing the first two games of a four-game series with Atlanta over the weekend, the Nationals looked like they were in danger of surrendering the division lead. However, they rebounded nicely by closing the series with a pair of wins and leaving the series exactly where they began, 3 1/2 games ahead of the Braves.
Ryan Zimmerman crushed a pair of home runs on Sunday as the Nats routed Atlanta, 9-2. In 25 games since June 24, the third baseman has hit a scorching .392 with 11 homers and 12 RBI.
"Especially after the first couple games of this series...for us to come back and win both of those games, [Saturday] and [Sunday], and even this series out was huge," Zimmerman said.
"We didn't want (the Braves) coming into our house and leave with them feeling that good," manager Davey Johnson added when talking to the Nationals' website. "I gave them one Friday, and then they nipped us on Saturday morning, but I wasn't worried about the club. There's no letdown in this ball club."
The Mets sit third in the East, 8 1/2 games behind the Nationals, who own a 6-3 mark against New York in the season series after taking two of three meetings last week.
Zimmermann, who has a gaudy 2.35 earned run average this season, hurled six scoreless innings in a 4-3 Nats win last Wednesday over the Mets. The right- hander will be searching to win his third straight start and his fifth consecutive decision tonight. He's also been red-hot recently, not allowing a run in his last two starts and compiling an 0.84 ERA in his last five outings.
Zimmerman has also generally fared well against the Mets and is 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA in nine career starts versus New York.
The Mets have been sinking and have lost nine of 10 overall. Pinch-hitter Matt Treanor broke a 12th-inning tie with a two-run single on Sunday as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of New York with an 8-3 win at Citi Field.
The loss dropped the Mets (47-48) below .500 for the first time this season.
"It's very disappointing," admitted New York manager Terry Collins. "We're not happy with the way things have gone the last 10 days. We gotta buckle down and get after it and get back over (.500)."
It will be Chris Young's job to stop the bleeding tonight.
Young was the loser last week opposite Zimmermann but pitched well, allowing two runs on six hits in six innings in what was his third consecutive loss. Overall, Young is 3-2 with a 2.77 ERA in eight career starts against the Nationals.

The voluntary 1955-6 integration of the Hoxie, Arkansas, School District represents a significant yet often overlooked turning point in American race relations. Following the landmark Brown decision in 1955, the rural farming town's School Board voted unanimously to integrate the district. Their rationale was threefold: Integrating the schools 1) complied with the law of the land, 2) saved money, and 3) was right in the sight of God. At first, the integration went without incident — a virtual anthesis to the Crisis at Central High that would follow. Yet a photo essay by Life Magazine, which hailed the integration as a "Morally Right Decision" and its early success, drew attention — and with it, ire and condemnation — from across the South, setting the stage for a fight over the first school integration in the Mississippi Delta. This exhibition examines the motives, character, and context of the individuals at the center of Hoxie's integration and hopes to paint a more complex portrait of all involved.

|A recent publication from our lab has provided evidence for the involvement of the α1 chain of the Interleukin-13 cytokine receptor (IL-13Rα1) in the development of the neonatal immune system. Specifically, we have shown that cell death of T helper type 1 (Th1) effector cells can be prevented by antibody-mediated blockade of IL-13Rα1. Currently, a knockout mouse deficient in expression of IL-13Rα1 is not available and the development of an IL-13Rα1 knockout mouse will provide new insights on the relationship between IL-13Rα1 signaling and neonatal immunity. In this effort we have begun construction of a targeting vector that will bear sufficient homology to the IL-13Rα1 wild-type locus to allow for deletion of exons 7, 8, and 9 via homologous recombination, thereby rendering that allele non-functional. After construction of the targeting vector, a collaborative effort between the Transgenic Animal Core facility here at the University of Missouri will continue throughout the remainder of the cell culture, embryonic manipulation, and screening processes.

The Panther basketball teams closed out the regular season with four tough losses in Yakutat Feb. 21-22, and next week move on to region tourney.
The Skagway girls (13-4, 11-3 conf.) played the defending state champ Eagles tight the first night. The Lady Panthers actually led by five at one point in the second half, but the Eagles got their inside-outside game working to take the lead. The score remained close until the final minute, when the Eagles drained some 3-pointers to push their lead up to 15 points by games end. On Friday night, Yakutat broke open a close game with a string of six 3-pointers in the third quarter, and won easily, 61-39.
The Skagway boys (7-10, 4-8 conf.) nearly came back against the Eagles the first night. After being down by 20, Skagway chiseled the Eagles lead to five by the end of the game. The Panther boys played tough in a tight second contest but never could get closer than four points, as the Eagles prevailed, 69-59.
The boys are seeded fifth in their bracket and will open tourney play in Ketchikan next Wednesday at 3 p.m. The girls will be seeded second and will play at 4:40 p.m. Their opponents were to be determined this weekend. Tourney games will be broadcast on KHNS.
Update: Both teams finished in third place at the SE 2A Tourney. The girls won their first two games over Angoon and Kake to make it to the championship game, where they lost to Yakutat, but they lost again in the new runner-up game to Kake, and missed a trip to State. After dropping its first game to Yakuat, the boys battled back in the consolations round with wins over Kake and Klawock, and then lost to Hoonah in the boys runner-up game.

Samuel Eto'o is battling to be fit for Wednesday's match between Cameroon and Croatia in Manaus, with both sides well aware that defeat would spell the end of their World Cup dreams. Both Brazil and Mexico have four points following their draw in Fortaleza on Tuesday, leaving the losers in Manuas out of the tournament with zero points from two games. Eto'o exacerbated a knee problem during the first-round defeat to Mexico, and the team doctor insisted he needed 10 days to recover.
But the striker has been playing through the pain for the past three-four months, and says he will wait until the morning of the match to see if he can play. If he does miss out, coach Volker Finke or his four Cameroonian assistants could bring in Pierre Webo or Vincent Aboubakar, or move Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting to the middle. It looks likely that Finke will stick with the three central midfield players from the first match, as they look to over-power Croatia's creative but diminutive duo Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric. Whatever happens, they will have to do better than in their first match when they managed just one shot on target and that was in the 91st minute.
Croatia should have Modric available despite the Real Madrid midfielder going to hospital with foot pain after the controversial 3-1 loss to Brazil. Mario Mandzukic will also be back in the line-up after serving a suspension against Brazil. This will be the first ever meeting between the sides, and the first time Croatia meet an African team at the World Cup. The conditions in Manaus – still humid despite the temperature having cooled since Italy's victory over England on Saturday - could play a part in the outcome, although the local fans are sure to boo any slow or overly defensive play yet again. And they may well have plenty to complain about considering the two teams' World Cup form: in their respective last five matches at this level, Cameroon have lost every time and Croatia are without a win.
This will be the first ever game between Cameroon and Croatia.
This is also Croatia's first ever World Cup game against an African side.
Cameroon have won only one of their 13 World Cup games against European sides (2-1 v Romania in 1990), drawing five and losing seven.
Cameroon have only won one of their last 14 World Cup games (1-0 v Saudi Arabia in 2002), drawing four and losing nine.
Cameroon have lost their last five World Cup matches; the longest losing streak of any African nation at the tournament.
The Indomitable Lions have scored just seven goals in their last 12 World cup matches, and never more than once during this run.
Croatia will have Mario Mandzukic available for selection for the first time in this World Cup finals tournament. No player scored more headed goals than the Bayern Munich striker in the top five European leagues in 2013-14 (7).
Cameroon only attempted one shot on target in the whole of their opening group stage game against Mexico and this came in the 91st minute.
Cameroon have played 21 World Cup matches overall and their one shot on target tally against Mexico in the opening game was the fewest they've ever mustered in a WC finals match.
Croatia have not won any of their last five World Cup matches (L3 D2), with their last WC finals victory coming in 2002 versus Italy (2-1).

Zone Athletes of the Year
Jordan Hines, Eastlake
As a wide receiver, Hines caught a 52-yard touchdown pass in the Titans' victory over Vista in the San Diego Section Division I final at Qualcomm Stadium, giving Eastlake its first football championship. The junior later improved his triple jump by more than a foot to finish third at the section meet. Hines followed that with a fifth-place result at the State Track and Field Championships in Clovis. In the winter, Hines played on the Titans' roller hockey team.
Wendy Tamayo, Mater Dei Catholic
Despite catching the eye of college recruiters at catcher, Tamayo displayed leadership as the starting shortstop for the Crusaders, sparking Mater Dei Catholic to the San Diego Section Division IV championship. In the title game, Tamayo hit two homers, the second providing the go-ahead run that helped clinch the title. The 5-foot-5 senior also played basketball and was a guard on the state Division IV championship team a year ago. Tamayo will continue her softball career at Nevada.
Tanner Clayton, Rancho Bernardo
Few expected the Broncos to go far in the basketball playoffs after an erratic regular season, but the 6-foot-9 senior helped guide Rancho Bernardo to the San Diego Section Division I title with a 64-55 victory over favored El Camino, earning first-team all-section honors. Clayton averaged almost as many rebounds (12.7) as points (13.9). His long arms contributed to a season average of 5.5 blocked shots a game, which were closer to eight down the stretch. He was just as dominant on the volleyball court, where his size and agility helped earn him another first-team all-section berth and a scholarship to USC.
Kellie Fox, Mt. Carmel
The senior shortstop was a pivotal part of the Sundevils' drive to their fourth straight San Diego Section Division II softball title, which they wrapped up with a 4-2 win over West Hills. Fox batted .436 with an on-base percentage of .546 and a slugging average of .866, boosted by seven home runs and 13 doubles. Fox only struck out 11 times and was a perfect 10-for-10 in steals. She was a unanimous first-team, all-section selection in softball. In soccer, the 5-foot-9 senior was able to showcase her speed in leading the Sundevils to an 18-4-3 record, earning second-team all-section honors.
Troy Leaf, Foothills Christian
The magical career of the 6-foot-3 all-state wing reached its pinnacle when Leaf registered 3,318 points during a four-year career in which Foothills Christian compiled a 106-27 record while capturing four San Diego Section Division V championships. Leaf's scoring bundle is a section career record and ranks third in the state. His individual high was 50 against Otay Ranch. Leaf, who shot 51.3 percent from the field and 79.9 percent from the free throw stripe while averaging 26.1 points a game, was the section Player of the Year as a senior. Leaf is headed for UC Santa Barbara where he will play in the Gauchos' backcourt.

Davis leading Hornets despite limitations
Updated: April 27, 2004, 1:47 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW ORLEANS -- Gone is the healthy Baron Davis of earlier this season -- the one who dunked over Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal or blew past Ben Wallace for a game-winning jam at Detroit.
"You're not going to see too much explosion out of me," said Davis, who practiced little Sunday and left the New Orleans Hornets' practice facility favoring his sprained left ankle. "I just have to find different ways and angles to the basket because I can't jump over anybody right now."

Given the BJP government's mandate of improving the tax laws what are your expectations from the new government with respect to the retrospective act?
We have suffered clearly from an extremely aggressive tax collection in the last few years meaning that thousands of crores of rupees are entrenched on us... and with what I read in newspapers, we are not the only company in trouble. So there has been a very aggressive tax collection system, which in India I sometimes jokingly call is the biggest Ponzi scheme on earth because you collect tax that you are not entitled to. Which means you kind of pull the whole thing forward. It is very time-taking, very costly ... so it is not good for investor sentiment. I think it would be really good if the government would bring the investor sentiment back that you can rely on tax collection.
Will Vodafone increase its headline tariff and by when?
Market is complicated in India. Prices need to go up because the industry had lower prices for 17 years. We increased prices by 6.2% last year, which is far below the inflation cost. If you reduce the validity of a voucher, that is a price increase. We continue to work on cost-efficiency measures. On network side, moving from diesel to solar is one of the options that we are looking at. Probably, one of the biggest gifts that the Modi government can give us is electricity. Our costs will reduce considerably if we have reliable power supply everywhere. And he has done that in Gujarat. So if he could replicate that model for the rest of the country, that will be a blessing for the telecom industry.
Is Vodafone at par with competitors when it comes to net profitability?
We give all kinds of data on the country-level but not the net profit. We give Ebidta numbers. In this fiscal, we have turned net positive. So profitability in our situation is more a choice of how we structure our balance sheet.
What will drive the growth in the days to come?
It will be enterprise services, data services and then, of course, in the future mobile payment services.
What is your position on merger & acquisition rules in the country?
We are very keen to look into any opportunity, but it's disappointing that even after M&A rules came nothing happened. Most of us are waiting for spectrum trading, and spectrum sharing to come. The big issue is that if we look at some of the companies even if we like some of their assets a lot, there are lots of assets that we actually don't need. It all comes with lots of debt also.
