The Blog was talking over the weekend to Idaho Steelheads defenseman John Ryder, who is a former University of Denver blueliner, and he mentioned, very strongly, how much he dislikes rival Colorado College. And this is a guy who is from Colorado Springs, home of CC.
Over the years, The Blog has heard so much passion from both CC and DU players -- neither can stand the other side. That's a true rivalry.
And that's why CC tonight is in all its glory -- it racked a 4-3 come-from-behind victory at DU that advanced it to the WCHA Final Five. And that's after DU won the opener of the best-of-3 first-round series, 5-3, only to have CC win 2-1 Saturday and force tonight's decisive Game 3.
For CC, an Anchorage kid's fingerprints were all over the win. Rookie winger Hunter Fejes of Anchorage helped the Tigers roar back from a 2-0 deficit after one period, assisting on the Tigers' first goal and scored the game-tying goal.
The Tigers also include senior captain William Rapuzzi of Anchorage, rookie winger Jared Hanson of Palmer and sophomore winger Scott Wansganz of Anchorage. Denver has senior goalie Adam Murray of Anchorage, who did not play.
In any event, CC moves on to the Final Five. Denver must wait to see whether it will get an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament.
The CC-DU game was one of three decisive Game 3s played Sunday in the WCHA.
Minnesota State-Mankato freshman goalie Stephon Williams of Fairbanks helped the Mavericks advance to the Final Five with a 3-1 win over Nebraska-Omaha, which includes freshman defenseman Brian Cooper of Anchorage.
Williams stopped 26 shots. The Mavericks also include senior center Eli Zuck of Anchorage, who is out injured.Williams, the WCHA's Rookie of the Year and first-team all-conference goalie is merely 21-10-2 with a 1.84 goals-against average and .929 save percentage.
Another goaltender from up north, Michigan Tech's Pheonix Copley of North Pole didn't fare as well -- his club got run 6-0 at North Dakota in Game 3. Copley's 29 saves Saturday backstopped a 2-1 Huskies victory that forced Game 3. Copley finished his rookie season 8-15-1 with a 3.22 goals-against average and .900 save percentage.
In the CCHA, it was the end of the line for sophomore winger Tanner Sorenson of Anchorage and Michigan State, which fell 4-1 to regular-season champion Miami (Ohio) in a decisive Game 3. Sorenson had an assist on the Spartans' only goal and finished the season with 13-8--21 totals in 42 games that placed him second on the club in goals and tied for second in points. His four power-play strikes also tied for the team lead.
And, out East, No. 1-ranked Quinnipiac needed much of double overtime to knock off Cornell 3-2 in a ECAC Game 3. Massive props to Cornell goalie Andy Iles, who stopped 60 shots, including 28 in 34:08 over overtime play.

WeatherKathmandu, Nepal
KATHMANDU: Who says love stories have to have a Romeo-Juliet ending? But again the 'Prince Charming and happily ever after' tale we have been led to believe is just limited to text, or is it? Whether you admit to want to fall in love or not, the desire to share those little precious moments with someone cannot completely fade away. Of course with heart wrenching experiences, you may believe such things don't exist and rightly so, but one day you realise that the glass is not half empty after all.
Perhaps like every other woman, Lisa Niver was in such a state until she got a request from George Rajna on an online dating site. She ignored it the first time. "There were too many things going on at that time and I was just not interested," she says. But there was a second time and another request from Rajna. She somehow took a look at his profile and 'travelling' is what grasped her attention.
Rajna, on the other hand, joined the dating site because of his friends' coaxing. He paid some amount, registered himself on the site and met two women, which lasted one date each. In the meantime, he approached Niver, there was no response. But she replied on the second attempt. This was in 2007. They met, dated and began to know each other. Both of them lived in Los Angeles, USA, but never met, until the Internet Cupid shot his arrow.
Niver is a travel agent, blogger, speaker, science teacher and a member of Traveler's Century Club, a travel club exclusive for travellers who have visited more than 100 countries. She has travelled across six continents so far. She also writes for the National Geographic, The Huffington Post, Jewish Journal and Technorati.
Rajna is a bilingual speech therapist and has also travelled to 100 countries across six continents. He also composes music on the guitar and ukulele. He is a blogger at The Huffington Post as well.
Evident that both of them loved travelling, they began their journey together in 2008 on an 11-month trip to South East Asia. This is the time they fell in love and it was in Thailand that things changed. He popped the question and it was anything but ordinary.
"He proposed to me underwater in Koh Lipe, Thailand, which is the most memorable trip," says Niver with a wide smile, now Mrs Rajna.
In 2012, they set out again for another trip to South East Asia and that's when they visited Nepal as part of their trip. Readers' Club Nepal introduced them to interested travel writers and people from various professional backgrounds in an interaction programme on April 13 at the Nepal Tourism Board.
They shared their interesting insights about the country's tourism prospects. When they heard about Nepal — it was only the mountains and the highest peak of the world, "but this country has so much more to offer, which not many are aware about," says Rajna.
The word has to be spread, he adds, that people need to know that this destination is the best in terms of money value.
Travelling to such diverse countries, the experience sometimes become the worst and George recalls an incident in Brazil. "It was during the day, I was walking alone and two men approached me for money. In the beginning I thought they were beggars and told them I don't have any. Within split seconds, one of them gripped my wrist watch. There was struggling, but nothing could be done. Nobody even noticed what had happened."
It was scary for Rajna, but worse could have happened. Since then he has become more cautious. A valuable advice for travellers and travel writers alike "be careful not to flaunt your belongings; travel simple, dress simple. As writers you will have laptops, make sure it is secured and safe, don't get paranoid though".
This was when Rajna travelled alone. It has its advantages, when the couple was asked about their preference, they chose travelling together. But of course both ways of travelling have its pros and cons.
Travelling alone makes one proactive to interact with people, you meet many people and get to make all the decisions by yourself and are self-reliant. But again there are safety issues at hand.
As a couple though you get to do all that plus you know you are safe, however there can be disagreements. "Initially when we began travelling together, there were many disagreements like where to stay. George is a budget traveller and I had to make adjustments with that," mentions Lisa.
This is just a small instance, but such instances made them understand each other better and their differences perhaps made them stronger as a couple. They didn't realise this until they were asked, "You travel to different parts of the world, English isn't spoken everywhere and you make an effort to understand strangers. Has this made your communicating with each other better?"
They were quiet for a while, took a glance at each other and smiled (they did not say anything immediately, but it was implicit they were thinking the same thing) and Lisa spoke, "We never thought about that, but we think it did. There was a time when we used more of 'I', but now the word has changed."
We are so consumed to achieve big things in life that we forget the little things that make us happy, in their case it was internet and love for travel. This is the beginning for Lisa-George. They have miles to travel and grow as a couple, because they see the glass as half full. 'Bon Voyage'.
Tips for aspiring travel writers
Travelling to numerous countries and writing arduously Lisa and George share some practical
information —
• When in a foreign country, learn a few words in their native language. It always helps and people really appreciate the effort. It can be funny sometimes where Lisa said she wants kukur (dog) ko masu instead of kukhura (chicken).
• Try getting help from local people. You can contact the guest house people, where you are staying. But this works more on instinct.
• Pay attention to details while travelling, ask a lot of questions to people you are travelling with, familiarise yourself with the place.
• Be at a place where internet is accessible. Keep in touch with others.
• Be consistent with your writing.
• If you are new and want to start with travel writing, just do it. You don't have to travel around the world to write an article. Start from your place, where you are living. You know your place, but not people around the world.
• Be honest to your work, don't make things up. Have integrity. Do not lose readers' confidence.
• Don't be scared about a negative response for your article, write it anyway.
• Search a mentor for yourself.
• Health is important, so eat local food. Eat what everybody eats. Don't eat anything raw. Drink lots of bottled water. Don't binge eat, three meals a day is good. Walk and if possible brush your teeth with bottled water.
• Make your articles public and reach out to people online and offline too.

Willow Garage Video Montage For IROS 2011
Tuesday October 11, 2011
Willow Garage just released their video montage from IROS 2011. It shows lots of the cool demos present at the conference, and the star of the show is our very own Joe Romano, PhD student under Dr. Katherine Kuchenbecker, and our PR2 demo! The video shows the robot giving hugs, handing out business cards, and giving many high-fives and fist-bumps. Joe's Penn Robotics GRASP Lab t-shirt also makes a great appearance.

Much like your household washing machine animals use resonant frequencies to shed water
Article Summary
What does a labrador and a clothes washer have in common? Not much you might say. Think again. A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, have unlocked the secrets behind how animals such as dogs, mice and even brown bears dry themselves and the key is all in the spin cycle. Much like your household washing machine these animals use resonant frequencies to shed water and given the results of their research, graduate student Andrew Dickerson and his advisor, professor David Hu, are now looking at how they can apply their results.

Have you ever found yourself in the grip of relentless historical forces, driven to actions that at previous stages of your life would have seemed totally out of character? Powerless to resist the spirit of the times, ordinary people find themselves doing the strangest things, like wearing punk haircuts or voting Republican. I found myself buying a Suburban.
Though the Suburban looks like a station wagon that has taken steroids, it is officially classified as a light truck. For most Texans, buying a truck is nothing unusual. Texas is the biggest truck market in the nation. Our ratio of trucks to cars is a third higher than the rest of the country's. But I grew up in Galveston, where one acquires a very fine sense of such things as who should buy a truck and who should not. People from Texas City should. OKOP (an old Galveston acronym for Our Kind of People), never.
Never, that is, until the birth of our third child last fall precipitated a car crisis. The modern automobile is a response to two of those historical forces I was just talking about. One is the energy crisis of the seventies, which made smaller cars desirable. The other is zero population growth, which meant that as long as families produced no more than two children, smaller cars were practical. Pretty soon everybody was buying imports, General Motors was scaling down its fleet in a desperate attempt to compete, and the phrase "family car" had disappeared from the automotive sell.
Like millions of American driveways, ours was occupied by two products of the zeitgeist: a small Buick sedan and a Toyota station wagon that was even smaller than the Buick. The Toyota didn't even pretend to seat five; it carried only four seat belts. But the Buick, at first glance, looked adequate for our enlarged family. At least it had a fifth belt. On closer inspection, however, I saw that one seat belt was inadequate. It covered the middle of the back seat, an area so closely set above the drive shaft that there was no room for springs between the seat and the floorboard. To sit there, even with the car at rest, was to reflect upon what it would have been like to ride in a buckboard wagon. I didn't know it at the time, but I had started down the road to discovering the national car of Texas.
You can tell a lot about a people by what they drive. The Rolls-Royce is priced so that no ordinary man can aspire to one; it identifies the British leisure class. Who but the Germans would create cars as solid as the Mercedes or as revealing in name as the Volkswagen, literally "the car of the people"? Californians, always ahead of the trends, embraced small Japanese cars even when oil was cheap. And naturally, the Italians make what the automotive magazines consider the sexiest car, the Ferrari Testarossa. It even sounds like a sex hormone.
In the fifties and sixties, the car that defined Texas was the Cadillac. Not just any Cadillac, either, but the biggest one money could buy, replete with chrome and tail fins. The Cadillac was the oilman's car, and the oilman personified Texas to the nation. He was thought of as brash, unmannerly, nouveau riche, a social climber, but also as someone who had to be taken seriously. The Cadillac represented the instant respectability Texas craved. In the humor of the period, the rich Texan with a Cadillac was a staple joke. You've heard, of course, about the two oilmen who met for lunch and afterward went to look at Cadillacs. "I'll take that one," said the first oilman, reaching for his wallet. "No," said his friend, reaching for his own wallet. "Let me pay for it. You picked up lunch."
In the seventies, the era of the oil boom and Texas chic, the pickup supplanted the Caddy. We didn't need cars for status symbols any more. We were the status symbol now, Texans and our blue jeans and our boots. The pickup was a rancher's car, and everybody whose banker thought the oil business was a snap was going out and buying a ranch.
Then, as rich folks have a way of doing, we got uppity and forsook our roots. The Mercedes briefly became the national car of Texas—so briefly that the oil boom was over before most of them were paid for. The reign of the Mercedes was a dark chapter in the history of Texas. While the Cadillac had been a badge of wealth, the Mercedes was a badge of sophistication. It appealed to our worst side, the side of Texas that, deep down, harbors the fear that we are still small-time and backwater. How cultured it was to talk about 450 SLs and 380 SELs, to drive an automobile so coveted that it is the most stolen car in America, to ooze a little Continental polish. The Mercedes was a mechanical security blanket.
Now the Suburban has replaced them all, and for the best of reasons. It is the most Texan vehicle there is. It's big, it's strong, it's fun, it doesn't put on airs, but it doesn't keep you from putting on a few.
Statistics aren't necessary to prove the case, just a pair of eyes; but the numbers are overwhelming nonetheless. Of the ten biggest markets for Suburbans, five are in Texas. Houston and Dallas rank first and second Detroit and Chicago are next, then it's back to San Antonio, fifth, and Fort Worth, sixth. Another interloper, Minneapolis, ranks seventh, but Austin is eighth. Phoenix and Los Angeles round out the list—but if only retail sales are counted, yet another Texas city Amarillo, replaces Phoenix in the top ten. In the first nine months of 1985, 9724 Suburbans were sold in Houston, compared with just 3384 in the California zone and just 1865 in the New York—New Jersey zone. Nationally, about one Suburban sale in every three occurs in Texas.

"Documentation, Investigation, Analysis, and Treatment of a Cultural Resource Site (both Cultural Landscapes and Concrete Conservation):
the Japanese Agriculture Station in the
The Pacific West Region
(PWR) of the National Park Service (NPS) and the Pohnpei Department of Lands
and Natural Resources have received a grant from the NPS National Center for
Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) for a training course in the
"Documentation, Investigation, Analysis, and Treatment of a Cultural Resource
Site: the Japanese Agriculture Station in Kolonia on the state of Pohnpei,
Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)." The course will take place
The Japanese
Agriculture Station was located on the same site as the earlier German
Agriculture Station.
The Pohnpei Visitors
Bureau plans to rehabilitate the building for its office, visitor center, and
gift store on the first floor,
Several government agencies, non-profit organizations, colleges, and universities will co-sponsors this training. The training course will look at the site in a holistic way and will consist of two components: (1) the survey, documentation, and treatment of the cultural landscape and (2) the survey, documentation, investigation, analysis, and treatment of reinforced concrete structure (see training program below).
Because training is more effective if reinforced with exercises combined with the classroom presentations and/or as soon as possible after the class, classroom training will be augmented with hands-on class projects. Also, each of the Historic Preservation Offices (HPOs) in the Pacific have been requested to send at least one staff person to the training and to identify in advance both a cultural landscape and a historic concrete structure to work on when the staff member returns to his/her home office. Ideally, one site would have both elements at same location: a reinforced-concrete building in a cultural landscape. Since this may not be possible on all islands, some islands may have two separate projects. The staff persons from each HPO will become the team leaders on the projects upon their return to their home offices. University and local college students will be recruited for each office to establish the three-person team. After the training class the teams will return to their island to conduct identified project work during a two-three month period (depending upon the size of the project and the funds available). The teams will write their report(s) in English and the language of the island (Samoan, Marshallese, Kosraen, Pohnpein, Chuukese, Yapese, Palauan, and Chamorro). The university and colleges will grade these report with input and comments from the NPS and speakers so that the students can also earn college credit for the project. A participant will still be able to take the training course if he/she is not available for a 2 to 3 month internship in one of the HPOs since the internship is an additional option.
NCPTT grant will be used to bring in experts in history, historic architecture, historic archeology, cultural landscapes, horticulture and agriculture, engineering, and concrete conservation. These experts will not only teach the course but will also provide technical assistance and recommendations in the form of a report on the future rehabilitation and maintenance of the site. Because of the high expense of bringing in experts, there are no plans to offer this course again. This is a unique opportunity that should not be missed.
This training and
technical assistance project was developed under a grant from the National Park
Service and

Unusual MRI findings of dural arteriovenous fistula: Isolated perfusion lesions mimicking TIA
- Yong-Won Kim,
- Dong-Hun Kang,

- Sung-Pa Park
- … show all 4 hide
The diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) based on clinical history and objective findings, even including multiparametric MRI, can be misleading. We report two patients who presented with TIA-like deficits with isolated perfusion lesions in corresponding areas but were finally diagnosed as transient neurological symptoms associated with dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF).
Case presentation
Two patients presented with transient focal neurological symptoms lasting less than one hour. An isolated perfusion deficit with no diffusion change in the clinically relevant area was shown on brain MRI, indicating transient ischemia as the most plausible cause of neurological symptoms. However, cerebral angiography let to diagnosis of dAVF in both cases. Intracerebral hemorrhage occurred after the initial diagnosis of TIA in one patient, and the small area of perfusion abnormality accompanied by the enlarged cortical vein in the other case helped to identify the dAVF through the further investigation. The pattern of perfusion-weighted imaging in both cases revealed increase of mean transit time and relative cerebral blood volume denoting the venous congestion in a clinically corresponding area.
Reported cases are uncommon clinical presentation of a dAVF, which can be misdiagnosed as TIA on clinical grounds. In rare cases, the isolated perfusion deficits could be attributable to venous congestion, despite the similar pattern of clinical presentation, such as with TIA.

HoopsHype Dorell Wright rumors
Jason Quick: Blazers still pursuing guard Dorell Wright, but are one of "several" teams with strong interest. Agent says Wright will make decision "soon" Twitter @jwquick
Marc J. Spears: Sixers free agent Dorrell Wright visited OKC Tues & was given contract options of 1 or 2 years, a source tells Y! Blazers made similar offer Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Marc J. Spears: Interested teams in Sixers free agent forward Dorrell Wright include: OKC, POR, SA, MEM & DAL, source tells Y! Sports. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Collins, sources say, pushed for the Sixers to amnesty aging power forward Elton Brand to clear the cap of most of his $18 million salary. The Sixers used that space to sign Nick Young and Dorell Wright - both likely to walk in free agency - and extend Spencer Hawes' deal for another year at $6.5 million. Philadelphia Inquirer
Meet with Wasserman Media Group unrestricted free agents J.J. Redick and Mike Dunleavy Jr. A source involved added that unrestricted free agent Dorell Wright also will likely get face time with Saunders. KSTP
Wearing a famous cat's red and white-striped hat, Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Dorell Wright will read a classic Dr. Seuss book to 250 students at the team's Read to Achieve event presented by Pepsi on Monday, January 14 at Cynwyd Elementary School (101 W. Levering Mill Rd., Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004) from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Following introductions of the Sixers Dream Team and Sixers Flight Squad, Wright and a member of the Flight Squad will read the book interactively with the students, who will also be wearing "Cat in the Hat"-style toppers and Read to Achieve T-shirts. The Sixers' Read to Achieve program is presented by Pepsi, a proud sponsor of the Philadelphia 76ers, and encourages children of all ages the importance of reading, both in school and at home. NBA.com
If you tuned into ESPN's First Take earlier this week you heard Stephen A. Smith touting Howard over Bynum. Smith's foil, Skip Bayless, maintains, as he did when Bynum was in Los Angeles, that Bynum is the better center. Shaquille, who seems to be fighting the angst that some athletes deal with (rather poorly) when the sun has set on his career, suggested that not only was Bynum better (debatable), but that Brook Lopez is also better (absurd) than Howard. The Sixers I've talked to are firmly in their teammate's camp. This includes Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Dorell Wright and Jason Richardson (who has played with Howard). One of them even went as far to say that Bynum, who will be their first option rather than the third, as he was in Los Angeles, could average 25 points this season. The good thing about this is that, as far as the Sixers are concerned, what's being said by others outside of their locker room hasn't altered their opinion about their teammate, which should help them this season. Philadelphia Inquirer
While growing familiar with those guys on the court, the former Golden State Warrior has been especially impressed with young players Holiday and Turner, saying Tuesday that he "can tell they're hungry and ready to win. They want to take their game to the next level." But the guy Wright, a slender 6-foot-9 forward, is most looking forward to playing alongside is center Andrew Bynum. "He's going to need two defenders to stop him," Wright told reporters. "I would say he's the best big man in the NBA right now, hands down." phillyburbs.com
The Warriors acquired veteran point guard Jarrett Jack from the New Orleans Hornets as part of the trade that will send Dorell Wright to Philadelphia. The Hornets received the draft rights to 2006 second-round pick Edin Bavcic in return. A 6-foot-11 forward, Bavcic, 28, was selected 56th overall by the Raptors and traded his rights to Philadelphia for cash the night of the '06 draft. Bavcic, 28, played in Greece last season. Toronto Sun
The trade that sent Dorell Wright to Philadelphia morphed into a three-team discussion last night, with the Warriors potentially landing point guard Jarrett Jack from New Orleans. A source confirmed that the talks have progressed. But the source cautioned the deal was fragile and could fall apart. Wright would still go to Philadelphia. New Orleans would get a $5.1 million trade exception and Bosnian power forward Edin Bavcic. Golden State would get Jack, one of the most respected little-known guards in the NBA. Contra Costa Times
Marc Stein: Just going online: Philly trade for Dorell Wright is expanding to include Hornets, who have agreed to send Jarrett Jack to Warriors Twitter
Before reaching a deal with Philadelphia, some teams approached about acquiring Dorell Wright asked that the Warriors also include a future draft pick in compensation for taking on the contract. With the Philly deal, the Warriors clean up a glut of duplicate small forwards, get a $4.1 million trade exception and can use both the mid-level and bi-annual exceptions to sign free agents without butting up against the luxury tax. Sulia
The trade is expected to go through without any hiccups, but it is contingent on a few things, like Philadelphia using the amnesty clause on Elton Brand. San Francisco Chronicle
Stephen Curry: Hate to see my bro @Dorell Wright go. Philly got a great dude and oh yeah he can hoop too Twitter
Well, the Warriors just eased their glut at small forward. According to a league source, Golden State has agreed to trade Dorell Wright to the 76ers. It is unclear whom the Warriors will receive in return, though it is apparently a player who is currently playing overseas. That would mean the player is likely Edin Bavcic. Philly acquired Bavcic's rights in a trade with Toronto in 2006. He is from Bosnia and Herzegovina.CSNPhilly.com first reported that Wright had been traded. CSNBayArea.com
Matt Steinmetz: FWIW, Philly never drafted Bavcic. His rights acquired from TOR in '06. BTW Bavcic's got symbols above last name I can't replicate. Twitter
Wright had been the subject of trade speculation for much of the offseason, and appeared to be the odd-man as the team moved forward. Wright started all 82 games for the Warriors in 2010-11, and he started 61 of 66 games for Golden State last season. But Wright's minutes dwindled under first-year coach Mark Jackson, and he seldom played in crunch time for the Warriors. CSNBayArea.com
Marcus Thompson: Correction: the Warriors are not getting a future pick for DWright. They are getting a player Philly previously drafted and stashed overseas Twitter

Songwriter Jason Robert Brown revisits tough times
This Wednesday, March 27, 2013 photo shows songwriter Jason Robert Brown at Second Stage Theatre, where a revival of his show "The Last Five Years" is playing, in New York. The song cycle debuted in New York in 2002 and, despite a short run, has become a staple in regional theaters and colleges. (AP Photo/Mark Kennedy)
NEW YORK (AP) — Inspiration can often come if you look up at the sky or the twinkling stars. For Jason Robert Brown, such a moment came when he was deep underground.
The songwriter was in the subway a dozen years ago on his way to a meeting at Lincoln Center with the fragment of an idea for his next project: It would be a song cycle about a husband and a wife in a troubled marriage.
But how would it work?
"As I was standing on that train platform, I thought, 'Oh, if she goes backward in time and he goes forward, then I always know what to write about because I'm always catching up,'" Brown recalls. "I'm not particularly mystical but it does feel sort of divinely imposed that I figured that all out on a subway platform."
The result was the 14-song show "The Last Five Years," and a lot of people think it is pretty divine. The show debuted in New York in 2002 and, despite a short run, has become a staple in regional theaters and colleges.
It follows the collapse of the five-year marriage between an aspiring novelist and a budding actress from both points of view. The husband starts by falling in love and his wife begins at the end of their relationship, their voices only intertwining in a few, bittersweet moments. It is a story about how the pressure of careers and ambition can crush young love.
The show is getting some new high-profile attention these days: Second Stage Theatre has revived "The Last Five Years" with Brown in the director's chair, and a movie version starts filming this summer with "Smash" star Jeremy Jordan and Anna Kendrick from "Up in the Air."
That means revisiting a piece that has plenty of autobiographical elements for Brown, whose first marriage ended in divorce. Now 42, remarried and with two young daughters, he has a different perspective.
"There are a lot of layers to the way I experience the show at this point," he says. "I look at it now and I don't blame either of them. I just think, 'Jesus Christ, this was impossible. What did you expect was going to happen?'"
Brown was coming off a bumpy Broadway ride when he came up with "The Last Five Years." He had just seen his show "Parade," the true-life tale of a 1915 Georgia lynching, hit Broadway. It would earn him a Tony but close after just 85 performances.

Fires in Mynmar (Burma)
May 7, 2013
On April 7, 2008, smoke from hundreds of fires mingled with clouds over eastern India, Myanmar (Burma), and China. Locations where the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite detected fires are marked in red. Most of the fires are likely human-caused, either agricultural fires or accidental forest fires.

"Greatest Magic season in a long time"???
We're only a few seasons removed from an NBA Finals appearance, so I have to disagree. I can symphasize with the notion we're headed in the right direction by jettisoning D12, his enormously selfish ego and huge contract. Other than that, I gain no confidence from the "progress" made this year. I fear a culture of defeatism could spring forth from these losing binges...losing begets an expectation that something will always go wrong. It's happening this year...look at the huge rash of injuries as the first example of things going from bad to worse.
All great teams are driven by at least one "straw that stirs the drink". Right now, we've got a lot of drink but no straw. It's gonna be a fine line management and the coaches will walk to keep "the plan" on track if and when we import through the draft or free agency the necessary straw. Until that happens, I expect a lot more losing than winning. Unfortunately, there are a lot more "Dwights" out there than there are "Tims.
Despite all of life's bumps and bruises, I'm still committed to making this world better one smile, one laugh at a time, every day!

A narrow inlet in the Yellow River separates modern industrial China from its ugly underbelly. On the other side, private companies have dug tunnels into the ground. Fully loaded trucks struggle out of the gates of these unsafe miniature mines. The trucks are so old and rundown that every trip underground could be their last.
The miners who work at this mine live on a hill above it, in huts with iron stoves in the middle. The stench of communal toilets hangs in the air. The workers pay no rent, but there is only a small cafeteria for the entire settlement.
The owners of mines like these are partly responsible for the construction boom in China's cities. Yellow River coal barons, for example, have bought up entire neighborhoods of new buildings in the capital, Beijing. They usually pay in cash and leave the apartments empty, betting that prices will continue to rise. Barely Getting By Traveling along the lower course of the Yellow River is like being tossed back and forth between the past and the future in a broken time machine. Behind the dikes, there are villages that haven't changed in centuries and towns with Mao-era street names like "Iron and Steel." These places have no village squares, no bars and no cemeteries. The farmers bury the dead in their fields.
Ten years ago, the river became silted up for almost two-thirds of the year east of the provincial capital Jinan, but now the water glistens in the sun once again. The government regulates how much water the individual provinces can extract from the river, and industrial companies are now required to build modern irrigation canals for the region's farmers so that less water evaporates.
Three workers are shoveling away in front of a pumping station. The farmers behind the dike need water from the Yellow River for their corn and cotton fields. They have set off a small fireworks display in front of the dike to drive away the river's evil spirits.
Nearby, migrant workers making little more than €10 a day are stacking stones with their bare hands to reinforce the dike in case the river floods. Stone blocks are neatly stacked everywhere along the lower course of the Yellow River.
"The water is now drinkable," says Wei, a tofu vendor who drives his motorcycle through all of the riverside villages every morning. Fish are swimming in the river again, and the residents are killing and then collecting them by dipping electric cables in the water.
It's market day in a village called "Forge Square," where vendors are selling fruit, vegetables, cheap electronics and clothing. Old Mao caps can be had for the equivalent of €0.57, while other vendors sell traditional enamel bowls with garish floral patterns. "We are doing neither well nor poorly," says one farmer. "We have a few thousand yuan left over at the end of the year."
Duan, a 71-year-old knife-sharpener, sits by the side of the road in a blue jacket. "I make 500 to 600 yuan (€62 to €74) a month," he says. He needs the money because he doesn't want to be a burden on his children. "We farmers receive no pension in China," he says.
The party has lifted one major burden from the shoulders of Duan and his family: He no longer has to pay all of his medical bills himself. Like Duan, all 700 million of China's rural residents are now able to purchase health insurance.

Thread: A Very Stuck Young Artist....
June 10th, 2011 #1
A Very Stuck Young Artist....
Hello! My name is Ally, I am a thirteen year old who is seriously interested in art, but I am very stuck right now, and do not know the best way to improve, I have heard many people tell me what I need to do, but most of those were very broad topics, or each was pointing in a different direction than the other.
So Im confused, I want to draw good, without references (Its my dream to become a mangaka, just putting that out there ) Also, I am really confused on how to even use references when you draw anime style...And anatomy I want to learn it, but is that all I need to learn to be able to draw poses out of my head? I used to think that if you knew how every muscle looked and moved, that is how you would draw concept art I know that I have to study life also
Anyways, another thing is that whenever I try to draw start to finish (sketch, line art, color..) I usually just dont know what to draw, or how to go about drawing it even That is why I almost never finish artworks
So overall, Im confused, I love to draw, but Im afraid if right off the bat, I start to try and draw poses out of my head, Ill have to go re-learn everything later when I realize that the way I have been doing it is all wrong Oh and then my older brother says that I have to draw start from finish and eventually Ill realize my mistakes and fix them in the process, but isnt there a faster way?
Well... Sorry to bore you and sorry if you have trouble understanding this but would you please help a younger artist out starting? Should I just do a lot of anatomy studies? Draw poses more? Or do as my brother said and draw out of my head, sometimes using references just to get all the way through the drawing? Because right now most of my drawings are sketches..
~thanks so much for reading!

I looked into your sketchbook and saw a great amount of potential there. If you start taking drawing seriously at that age, you'll become a great artist without a doubt.

Well if you want to become a mangaka, you ought to start to draw comics. A lot.
Though if you consider the actual Japanese mangakas, it's a hard and gruesome line of work, a fulltime job and more. So you might want to settle on just drawing comics
If you haven't already, I'd start by downloading and reading the Loomis books: http://alexhays.com/loomis/ and start doing life drawing. I don't know if it's possible for you to go on a actual life-drawing course with a nude model but you say you have a brother so you could ask him to pose for you (with clothes on of course) and use him as a subject to your life studies.
Personally I'd concentrate on learning to draw before going to anime style, because it's generally easier to go from realism to stylized, rather than from stylized to realism. You're thirteen, so it's very likely that in five years you're fed up with anime and want to do more varied styles and realistic art, and you'll end up cursing yourself because you spent your time drawing animu.

First things first, being a comic book artist/mangaka is one of the most demanding and time-consuming jobs in the world. Probably not the best choice for a career, since it leaves almost no time for anything else other than work. Attached is a schedule:
Second, how long have you been drawing? If you're just starting out it's best to start out with drawing simple mannikins or stickpeople, get the overall feel of a figure down before you start adding shapes or anything more complicated.
From your sketchbook I see your lines are also pretty fuzzy - draw every stroke with purpose and confidence. Don't hesitate and 'pet' your lines.
No, there is no faster way. Study anything, study everything. Still life, doodles, desk clutter, etc. You're still young and have plenty of time to make mistakes. Don't be afraid to.

Draw everyday and learn the fundamentals, especially perspective (That's something I noticed in your SB). There are quite a few tutorials on perspective around the net, but I would recommend this one, and there's also the Massive Black tutorial as well. Granted, the video from idrawgirls is about perspective pertaining to buildings, but the principles are still the same.
Anatomy is something that comes with prolonged practice. I'm not sure about your circumstances, but since you're under 18, it might be difficult for you to attend life drawing classes. In which case, try to pick up the following artists' books:
George Bridgman
Burne Hogarth
Michael Hampton
Also, as crossmirage said, try not to "pet" the lines - but don't worry, all of us had the same problem and go through the same stage as you are at at the moment. I would recommend drawing entirely in pen, and use the old Samurai philosophy of Bushido - one line, one stroke (I got this from one of my teachers, Skan Srisuwan). Drawing in pen will force you to think before you draw, but eventually, it'll become like second nature, and you will eventually be able to do it faster, to the point where you don't have to think about it.
Anyway, the general gist of things is that you have to learn basic anatomy and figure drawing first, and THEN diverging into styles that you like to draw.
I don't know much about the Mangaka or Comics business, so no advice from me there. But crossmirage and the other posters seem to have an idea.
But anyway, keep at it - you're only 13, time is on your side .

I'm gonna go on a limb here and assume that what you draw look kind of like this (or you feel that it does):
Which is totally normal by the way.
But as far as shirtless dudes go (and drawing in general) I'll also assume that you'd much rather have something that looks like this:
Now, we can argue that there are many differences in those two drawing, but in all probability the most fundamental differences of all is that one of them defines the tri-dimentionality while the other doesn't.
If you want to dable in the art of representational drawing, you're gonna have to, at a very fundamental level, be able to represent and define the 3d space of any object, even before worrying about color, shading, anatomy. I could remove color, shading and even anatomy (replacing the main masses by cubes and cylinders) in the drawing of the guy pointing a gun at himself in the mirror and it would still work way better than the drawing of the guy walking above. If I tried to replace the guy walking with cubes, I couldn't because he's just fucking flat.
So the main thing (in my mind) that a newbie needs to learn when it comes to drawing, is how to represent and understand the translation of tri-dimentional space on a 2d surface. If you can't define and recognize that thing, all your drawings are gonna fail on a very fundamental level.
So go to that website and start with the video titled "The bare minimum" and then explore some of his other videos.
That's gonna give you the framework from which the explore all those anatomy book and life drawing and stuff like that (which you'll still need to do).
June 10th, 2011 #11
Since you're 13, I agree that right now, your focus should be on drawing things that you like and becoming acquainted with the practice of drawing. For practice, draw anything you like or anything that you think you would have to draw in your manga. If you can, draw from life. Meaning...if you want to learn how to draw people, try to use reference and just practice basic anatomy. Invest in a figure drawing book. Lots of trees in your manga? Go outside and draw some, but make sure that you are drawing subjects that you are genuinely interested in.
Once you acquaint yourself with drawing, you will have a better idea of what specific things you need to practice at the time and what your strengths may be. Then you can go forth and plan ahead for yourself, with some guidance if you need any.
I think it seems overwhelming to you because you're just starting but the best way to get over that feeling is to jump right and and not be afraid to mess up. Good luck.

The only reason that I ever maintained the ability to push forward into my art career was by drawing all day and every day through my formative teenage years. I was able to do this because I just flatout loved to draw and that's all I wanted to do. If you think the ridiculously small attention span of 10-15 yr. old me would have been able to maintain such a schedule drawing nothing but studies and working on perspective and gesture poses, you'd be wrong. Not to say there aren't some prodigies around this forum that started earlier, but I think even they probably would still agree that you need to love art first, then work hard...not the other way around.
In fact, I still stand by this even as an adult. Studies are very very important for your artistic education, but like all things there is a time and place for everything. Drawing what you enjoy will keep you interested, curb frustration, and as I said, it will make it so you are able to draw ALL THE TIME. And that is the most important advice any artist should be taking.
(For the record, I started hardcore studies, book reading, classes, and sampling different medias when I was 17. And I think I turned out all right).

Copy panels from the books you like, or excuse me "learn-draw" from panels that you like. Also screen capture frames from animes, try to make your drawing as cool as the one you're looking at. I would advise you to stay away from art instruction books for now, rather just try to put your enthusiasm into every page you draw. I agree it would be good if you had an art instructor that knew what they were doing, however you won't find that easily and not at all for free, and there are a ton of art books with a ton of crap information. Getting limited info too early is like getting your arms tied behind your back.

Draw whatever you want, just keep drawing. For the fundamentals, learn little by little. You do not have to try to learn everything at once. Start with drawing smooth lines first, and when you get a grasp of that, learn how to shade little by little. Baby steps go long way.
I also would recommend that you look into the art instruction books. But, do not read the instructions as they can be mind boggling. Only look at the pictures and the small captions by the side. When I look at instruction books, I look at the pictures. (:
When you read manga, look at the pictures and try to figure out why the drawings look so good compared to yours. See what you can imitate or learn from it. If you are afraid of copying the mangaka's flaws into your own style, you can always unlearn it when you know better.

Just draw.

And if you can get your mum to take you to life drawing - go. I took one of mine when he 13, didn't do him any harm. He still draws 2 years later, but pretends it isn't important when I keep finding sketches everywhere. Just draw, experiment. It doesn't have to be perfect and you'll learn when you need to get that stupid pose just right. Have fun. In your sketch book, don't show every single thing, try to learn something, practice and then show to find out if you learnt it right or wrong. Listen to advice, but choose only what you're ready for - you can always go back.

youre going to spend your whole life learning, doing, and relearning so dont be afraid of it. im 36, i work professionally and draw all day at my job, and i still take classes to learn more--if you think it will magically stop, youre wrong. but you are right that the things that cause you frustration now will someday be very easy and even fun.
at your age though, your biggest goal should be mileage. if youre going to be in normal secondary school until youre 18 thats a lot of time to get very, very good before you have to decide whether youre going to college or an atelier or whatever. if you spent an hour per day for the next 4-5 years, thats a ton of drawing-- chances are you spend an hour doodling during breaks in regular school classes anyway-- so just set aside an actual hour of time outside of school to just draw or practice. it wont matter what youre drawing per se for another 2-3 years and you start thinking about what to do after high school.
talk to your parents, maybe if you set up a routine and prove youre dedicated every day theyll help you buy extra art supplies.
/also, learn japanese. and learn it well, not just videogamey phrases. you dont have to do what i did and spend ten years studying it, but maybe you should. it can also open the door to studying korean and chinese which might be very very useful for you someday. if you spent an hour per day doing that before you left for college... that would be badass.

I`m with everyone saying you should have fun, draw wathever you find interesting, play a lot, dont worry about "should i or should i not" when drawing, try a lot of different stuff, is not supposed to be a grinding chore, at least not for the most part, theres a time for everything.
When i was in school i loved art history books and i loved magazines, i didnt had wikipedia or google images, i just went to a library to look at books for hours until someome came and threw me out for not buying anything after reading half the comic shelve or the superexpensive Dali artbook i took the liberty to get out of the plastic, or i went to any stand and bought magazines, videogame magazines, tatto, skate, rock, wathever, i loved looking at new stuff and checking out all the possibilities and the designs and colors and until this day is what keeps me going
Is gonna be a lot of fun and good for you to explore, look at stuff, all kinds of stuff, get inspired , learn, all while enjoying yourself.Thats the "spark " of it all.

I remember when I was in elementary school, I drew a lot of Pokémon from my Pokémon cards and my video game guide Pokédex. It was fun. I laid on my bed one day and tried to draw every single leaf from a tree in my Kangaskhan card, it was like a master's study. Another time I was interested in dinosaurs, so I went to the library to get books and drew some dinosaurs. Then I tuned on to those Saturday morning cartoons on Fox or channel 11, saw Yu-Gi-Oh and started drawing Yu-Gi-Oh (I abandoned Pokémon cards and played Yu-Gi-Oh cards). I saw one of those "Draw 50" books in my school Library, and I remembered for "Draw 50 Monsters" in particular, I tried to follow procedures but I ultimately decided to trace almost every one in that book. I wish I remember where I put those drawings... They're probably all gone.
By the time I was in High school, I didn't know why I was good at drawing. I was like the top "drawer" (drawer?) at my middle school classes to high school classes at drawing (the high school probably doesn't count since it was business oriented). Except in Elementary school, I had a friend who drew better than me. He also motivated me to become better at drawing because he was my competition. I remember my classmates would either come to me or my friend for drawings, and my friend and I would flatter each other by saying "he is better than me, have him draw for you", but deep down we were rivals (we coincidentally went to the same business High School. I can imagine his parents also telling him drawing is useless, like my parents told me. I never talked to him after I left elementary school, and I became very withdrawn in high school. So, I never knew if he had improved at drawing).

Report: Peter Chiarelli at Canadiens/Coyotes game
|10.25.10 at 11:14 pm ET
According to a tweet from CTV's Arpon Basu, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli was in Montreal Monday night taking in the Canadiens' 3-2 overtime victory over the Coyotes. Basu notes that in addition to Chiarelli, there were 21 scouts from around the league at the game.
The news that Chiarelli could be scouting the Coyotes is interesting, as it comes amidst reports from ESPN's James Murphy that the Bruins are looking to move the likes of Blake Wheeler, Michael Ryder, and Matt Hunwick as they try to get under the salary cap before the returns of Marco Sturm and Marc Savard.
