The end of an era.
|Demar Irvine.
Relying on primary sources for firsthand information, Irvine profiles the composer and draws a rich portrait of the fascinating era in which Massenet lived. The narrative begins in 1748 with the birth of Massenet's grandfather, details the composer's early years and family life, traces his educational career, and highlights important events in his life. This carefully documented biography of Massenet and his milieu is lively and readable, conveying a vivid sense of the life of a successful musician in the late nineteenth century. Along the way one meets numerous composers, conductors, singers, publishers, artists, writers, and critics - everyone who contributed to the exciting cultural ferment of the time.
Massenet's Paris was the city of expositions, a magnet for artistic talent and innovative ideas. As Massenet composed his first operas, Cezanne, Degas, Monet, Renoir, and their compatriots were unveiling the new Impressionism; Bizet, Faure, Wagner, Offenbach, Debussy, and Saint-Saens were his musical contemporaries. Great operatic performers such as Sibyl Sanderson, Emma Calve, Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar, and Feodor Chaliapin were eager to star in the premier of any new work by Massenet. The composer had many eminent students, including Gustave Charpentier, Lucien Hillemacher, and Reynaldo Hahn. In this period of extraordinary artistic vitality, Massenet was applauded by his arch-rival Saint-Saens as a "sparkling diamond" of French music. Alfred Bruneau and Claude Debussy penned tributes upon his death, and Saint-Saens memorably commented, "Massenet has been much imitated; he imitated no one."

Wilkie Collins
Wilkie Collins (William Wilkie Collins), 1824–89, English novelist. Although trained as a lawyer, he spent most of his life writing, producing some 30 novels. He is best known for two mystery stories, The Woman in White (1860) and The Moonstone (1868), which are considered the first full-length detective novels in English and among the best of their genre; they helped to define the genre of literary melodrama which would peak at the end of the century. Collins's heroines are drawn with considerable clarity and sympathy. He was a close friend of Dickens, in whose periodical Household Words many of Collins's novels first appeared.
See his letters, ed. by W. Baker and W. M. Clarke (2 vol., 1999); biographies by W. M. Clarke (1988), C. Peters (1993), and M. Klimaszewski (2011); studies by M. P. Davis (1956), W. H. Marshall (1970), N. Page (1974), and S. Lonoff (1982).

It is the light we think we see that counts. Optical illusions designed to seem brighter than they are make your pupils constrict a little more. This suggests that we have evolved systems for anticipating dazzling light to protect our eyes.
Our pupils' fast response to light appears to occur even without input from the brain. For example, it is seen in people with damage to the visual cortex. Appearances can be deceptive, though.
Bruno Laeng of the University of Oslo in Norway measured tiny changes in pupil size as volunteers viewed various illusions that were all identical in brightness, though did not look so. If light levels alone dictated pupil size, they would have reacted identically whichever image a person viewed. Instead, people's pupils constricted more when they viewed the illusions designed to appear brightest.
"What's surprising is that even something as simple as how bright we think our environment is will be affected by our expectations," says Stuart Peirson of the University of Oxford, who was not involved in the study.
Previous studies show that the brain controls pupil size in other situations: our pupils dilate when we make decisions, for instance.

BOISE -- The Pro-Choice/Pro-Life battle over abortion is raging again in Idaho as a controversial bill is making its way through the Legislature.
Planned Parenthood, the ACLU of Idaho, and United Action for Idaho organized a rally on the Statehouse steps Thursday against Senate Bill 1349, which calls for mandated ultrasounds before abortions.
They're outraged about this, said Hannah Brass, Legislative Director for Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest.
Brass believes the measure is a violation of a woman's privacy.
When a woman goes to a doctor, or anyone in Idaho goes to a doctor, that's a private relationship, she said. This takes that out. It takes that individual care out and puts in a one-size-fits-all mandate.
It was brought to me by Idaho Right to Life and a group of women that felt this was important for informed consent, said Sen. Chuck Winder (R - Boise), who is the bill's sponsor.
Winder and other proponents believe the ultrasounds, in some cases, can lead to better care for the woman. He also says they're just trying to inform women of the gravity of their decision.
They just need to be informed that this is a baby, a human being that is being terminated, said Winder.
But whether the measure becomes law or not, it's already creating new fuel for a debate that's been raging for decades.
We're trying to save lives, we're trying to save women from the trauma of abortion, and the psychological impact that has on their life, said Winder.
What this really is about is politics and women's health issues, said Brass. The Legislature is making medical decisions rather than the doctors in this case. So it doesn't save lives. What it does is put the legislators in the exam room.
Virginia's governor just signed a very similar bill into law. Both that bill (and Idaho's) originally included a mandate that the ultrasound be transvaginal, which is invasive. But that was dropped from both bills. Winder says the type of ultrasound would be left up to the doctor and the patient.
The bill is set for a hearing next week in the Senate State Affairs Committee. Winder says they might run out of time this session to put it on the governor's desk.

Endurance in speed skating
Abstract We analyse the development of world records speed skating from 1893 to 2000 for both men and women. The historical data show that it is likely that the relation between skating speed and distance of the various events is non-linear and converges to a limit value. We pay special attention to technical innovations in speed skating, especially, the introduction of the klapskate in the 1996/1997 season, and its impact on the long-run limit value. We focus on endurance and we estimate lower bounds for world records given the current technological state of the art.

Rivers on Sheed: He has to play better
|05.02.10 at 4:38 pm ET
CLEVELAND — Rasheed Wallace has said all season that the playoffs are what motivates him, but after a disastrous regular season, the playoffs have been pretty much the same story for the Celtics prized free agent acquisition.
Wallace picked up three quick fouls in the first half and went 1-for-5 in 13 minutes of Game 1 against the Cavaliers. He was also a liability again on the defensive end where his rotations were slow and his help defense was lacking.
"He has to play better, bottom line," Doc Rivers said Sunday. "He has to play better defense. The offense will come but he has to be a better defender. We can't wait. He has to play better."
Rivers elected not to use Shelden Williams despite the heavy foul trouble that Wallace and Glen Davis found themselves in early in the game. That might change, although Rivers didn't quite his tip his hand on that front.
"He is in the discussion every day," Rivers said of Williams.
Is he is it more today?
"No," Rivers answered. "But he definitely is in that discussion."

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

You might put up Harold Brighouse (1882- 1958) as a sort of counter-visionary to Foreman, a regionalist and naturalist playwright for whom the outside world was the principal governor of onstage details. But that was in another country, nearly a century ago. Time has had its little joke, gently, not at Brighouse's expense but on his behalf. Practically the only play of his anyone remembers, Hobson's Choice (1915) is one of Britain's hardy stage perennialsoften revived, twice filmed, multiply televised, and even, unwisely, transmogrified into a Broadway musical. (To be fair, the musical had Norman Wisdom, though no other kind.) The reason for the play's popularity is simple: It's as much a fairy tale and a magic spectacle as any of Foreman's pieces, only with trappings that come untransformed from everyday life: a sort of songless Christmas panto set in a cobbler's shop, where Cinderella, this time around, conquers the ogre (her tyrannical father) while playing fairy godmother to the spineless shoemaking genius whom she changes from a worm into a man.
Brighouse may or may not have known that fantasy was at the play's core; what he couldn't have guessed is how elegantly time would coat his rough realism with a patina of quaintness. To him a Lancashire boot-shop, with its goods made on the premises, must have been a sweaty, gritty place. For us it's purest nostalgia: How much, one wonders, would audience members pay today for a pair of Willie Mossop's perfect-fit, handmade shoes? We wear sneakers made in places like China and Indonesia, which relive the most nightmarish days of Manchester's Industrial Revolution, with child labor crammed in windowless rooms earning nine cents an hour. Brighouse's naturalism, a century ago, walked hand in hand with the clamor for workers' rights and industrial reform. Maybe it's time to look at his forgotten plays on subjects like the Luddite movement and the capital-labor conflict.
Hobson's Choice
By Harold Brighouse
Atlantic Theater Company
336 West 20th Street 212-239-6200
Meanwhile, there's Hobson's Choice. David Warren's production, on a bright, spacious set by Derek McLane, slides with summery cheer over the play's dark underpinnings, making it seem more of a fairy tale than ever. There's clearly no harm, though a great deal of skill and relish, in Brian Murray's Hobson, a teddy bear pretending to be an ogre. But what fun it is to hear the teddy growl: Has anyone ever pronounced the words "pork pie" with the resonant revulsion of Murray's hung-over Hobson? I'd have spent the evening jotting down favorite Murray phrases if my attention hadn't been distracted by two more substantive achievements. Martha Plimpton as Maggie, the comedy's resourceful Cinderella, gets the role's firmness and softness blended in exactly the right proportions. This isn't easy; a Maggie who plays too hard can turn the work into the boss's taming by a shrew, while playing too tenderly can turn it into arrant nonsense. Plimpton's Maggie is what Brighouse envisioned: a caring, rather than a controlling, modern woman, her father's daughter by instinct but intelligent enough to perceive his mistakes. David Aaron Baker, as her target of choice, not only matches but betters Plimpton, etching his whole trajectory, from trembling wallflower to budding tycoon, with a grotesque realism that roots the fairy tale in everyday comedy. Warren has let some of the supporting cast slide by too glibly, but Judith Roberts and Peter Maloney, in the no-nonsense roles of a wealthy customer and a Scots doctor, do admirably, and Laura Bauer's well-cut costumes are a good cut above what this period usually looks like Off-Broadway.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Cheshire opened the discussion with a cogent summary of his article's central thesis. Comparing the impact of digital technology to the coming of sound, he identified seven key areas of film that have been or will be conquered by digital technology. Sound, editing, and special effects have already fallen; production, distribution, projection, and home delivery are next. DV films like Buena Vista Social Club and The Celebration and last summer's video projection tryouts of An Ideal Husband and The Phantom Menace are the shape of things to come.
With one exception, the other panelists seemed to have already either embraced or capitulated before Cheshire's prognosis, offering neither resistance nor alternative scenarios. This seemed partly in deference to the irresistible force of hard economic reality, and partly due to an understandable wish not to be seen to be "romanticizing the past and fearing the future," as one panelist put it. Though cinematographer John Bailey stated that there were many unresolved technical issues relating to image "capture area," mastering, compression, encryption, and decryption, he had curiously little to say about the fundamental aesthetic and perceptual differences between film and videosay, the difference between the flicker of film projection and the continuously scanned image field of video.
The idealistic independent producer Jason Kliot (Three Seasons), whose earnestness generated diminishing returns, trotted out the "more integrity for less money" indie party line on digital: that its low cost will "keep the director's vision intact." American Museum of the Moving Image's executive director Rochelle Slovin distinguished herself as a tireless booster, but of exactly what remains unclear. An agreeably glum Peter Bogdanovich was content to assert the primacy of storytelling over technology, though he did sound the sole authentic note of mourning for the decline and imminent fall of the materiality of film: "The degradation of the image has been going on for 50 years, for those of us who remember seeing real nitrate prints, where there was actual silver in the film and the images used to shimmer."
The sole holdout was the can-do, undaunted Dean Goodhill, inventor of an inexpensive new 35mm film cinematography and projection system called MaxiVision48, which doubles the current 24-frames-per-second standard to achieve new heights of image resolution, light-years beyond the capabilities of high-definition video. Goodhill's system sounds extraordinarybut it's a moot point, at least to Kliot, who observed that clarity and sharpness were all very well, but not everybody wants to make films with clear, sharp images.
The lax thinking that permitted panelists to treat digital video as a de facto synonym of film was underlined by Bailey's amusing reaction upon viewing his first Edison Kinescope at MOMA earlier that day: "Wonderfulit reminded me of trying to watch a film on the Internet!" Even more problematic was Cheshire's reductive equation of the digital realm with television. Where his fellow panelists all referred to the new technology as "video," Cheshirein a sweeping conflation of technology and aestheticsspoke mostly of "TV." At one point he stumped the others by challenging them to "name a famous TV director."UhmmJean-Luc Godard?
For now, the vacuum opening up around digital is being filled with this kind of fuzzy thinking, elsewhere typified by Bailey's well-meaning announcement that he would soon be lensing a friend's "Cassavetes[-style] improvised film with a group of actors" on digital. Can't wait for that one. Finally, at the 11th hour, Bogdanovich mustered a mild slap to the new breed, observing apropos of The Celebration, "I had a lot of trouble seeing it. . . . I thought it was a valiant attempt, but it does matter if you can see it or not."

Oh my god. So I have just discovered Forever 21. They ship internationally!
I need to know, what's hot to buy from them? What to avoid? Nice stuff? Ok quality? TELL ME!
Be careful ordering their jewelry and belts at all costs….some metal pieces may be okay but a lot of times they tend to look cheap and tacky in real life. I've made that mistake before and because accessories aren't exchangeable I'm stuck with it.
They have some nice feminine skirts though, and cute tees. Oh and super cheap leggings/tights if you're into those
Hey Blu
Ok I'll have a look. Ordering internationally there's no way I could return items…hmmm I need to b cautious!
No idea. But I've heard that they're AWESOME.
f21…well they have trendy stuff/glam stuff/ . The quality imho is not very high, the average piece is of H&M quality I think. Although sometimes I have happened to find very nice pieces at cheap prices; ex a gauze pink indian style skirt with full on embroidery in a beautiful pattern, looks really expensive, and purple satin sleeveless blouse that earns compliments every time. Also some of the jersey pieces are nicely made. Can not say the same for every piece…so it is mostly up to you to choose wisely. The pant's fabric goes into fuzzballs really quick…
so that! and the shoe's are pretty crappy!
Hey Lou
Damn I had my eye on some shoes!! But theres no way for me to refund so….I have to be careful what I buy!
I shop here pretty often because I live in NYC. When I look online, I click that 'zoom' button all the time to kinda gauge the cloth quality. Otherwise, their products are decent. You get what you paid for.
I love getting basic tees and layering those. I find that the Heritage collection is a tad better than the Forever21 things. Also, jeans are SUPER cheap. $12.50!!!

|John Buccigross on D&C: Bruins are 'going to add a significant player' before deadline
|03.28.13 at 10:19 am ET
ESPN's John Buccigross chatted with Dennis & Callahan on Thursday morning, focusing on the trade of Jarome Iginla to the Penguins.
By the end of the Bruins' 6-5 shootout loss to the Canadiens, it still seemed almost certain that the B's would acquire the six-time All-Star, in a move that would have immediately helped Boston's Stanley Cup aspirations.
"This is an all-timer," Buccigross said. "I can't remember in NHL history when a player of this impact, future Hall-of-Famer, was all set to come to a team, especially an Original Six team like the Bruins, and the whole hockey world had it coming, and then it didn't happen, and of all teams he goes to another up-and-coming kind of organization like the Penguins. It's a stunner."
A key part of the potential trade with the Bruins was the fact that Iginla had a no-trade clause, and that could have been the difference.
"I think Calgary got a little better deal with the Bruins than they got for two marginal prospects from the Penguins," Buccigross said. "But in the end, the player had the no-trade clause and he controlled where he wanted to go."
Even without Iginla, the Bruins still have a legitimate shot at making it to the Stanley Cup finals. The current fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, the B's still could make a trade before Wednesday's 3 p.m. deadline.
"Last night I almost tweeted, I'd rather see Jay Bouwmeester come to Boston than Jarome Iginla," Buccigross said. "They need Jay Bouwmeester more than they need Jarome Iginla. A defenseman who's experienced, who can really skate. He would become the Bruins' best skating defenseman if he got traded to Boston. You look at Dennis Seidenberg, Zdeno Chara's not getting any faster. To me he looks a lot slower this year, personally. … A lot of big guys who don't move so well around the Penguins and the Canadiens. So, I would prefer really good skating defenseman, and Jay Bouwmeester's just that and he's big."

Effects of Green Tea Catechins and Theanine on Preventing Influenza Infection among Healthcare Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2011, 11:15 doi:10.1186/1472-6882-11-15Published: 21 February 2011
Experimental studies have revealed that green tea catechins and theanine prevent influenza infection, while the clinical evidence has been inconclusive. This study was conducted to determine whether taking green tea catechins and theanine can clinically prevent influenza infection.
Design, Setting, and Participants: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 200 healthcare workers conducted for 5 months from November 9, 2009 to April 8, 2010 in three healthcare facilities for the elderly in Higashimurayama, Japan.
Interventions: The catechin/theanine group received capsules including green tea catechins (378 mg/day) and theanine (210 mg/day). The control group received placebo.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was the incidence of clinically defined influenza infection. Secondary outcomes were (1) laboratory-confirmed influenza with viral antigen measured by immunochromatographic assay and (2) the time for which the patient was free from clinically defined influenza infection, i.e., the period between the start of intervention and the first diagnosis of influenza infection, based on clinically defined influenza infection.
Eligible healthcare workers (n = 197) were enrolled and randomly assigned to an intervention; 98 were allocated to receive catechin/theanine capsules and 99 to placebo. The incidence of clinically defined influenza infection was significantly lower in the catechin/theanine group (4 participants; 4.1%) compared with the placebo group (13 participants; 13.1%) (adjusted OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.76, P = 0.022). The incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection was also lower in the catechin/theanine group (1 participant; 1.0%) than in the placebo group (5 participants; 5.1%), but this difference was not significant (adjusted OR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.01 to 1.10; P = 0.112). The time for which the patient was free from clinically defined influenza infection was significantly different between the two groups (adjusted HR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.84; P = 0.023).
Among healthcare workers for the elderly, taking green tea catechins and theanine may be effective prophylaxis for influenza infection.

PlateMate crowd-sources nutritional analysis of users' meals
By Ben Coxworth
November 2, 2011
While there are a great many people who want to lose weight by dieting, there aren't too many who can afford to have a nutritionist assess the caloric value of all their food choices. Using the PlateMate system, however, members can get an online community of laypeople to do exactly that - and for considerably less money. Although taking such an approach to nutrition might sound kind of iffy, calorie estimates generated by the crowd-sourced system are apparently just as accurate as those provided by trained nutritionists, and more accurate than self-kept logs.
PlateMate was first developed by Jon Noronha and Eric Hysen, when they were undergrads in Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Users start by taking a photo of their meal, then submitting it to the crowd. That crowd is coordinated using Amazon Mechanical Turk, a collaborative system that was first developed to help improve Amazon product listings. Individual Turkers, as they're called, look over the submitted photos and try to determine which foods are present in each one, and in what approximate quantities. The total caloric value of the meal is then automatically calculated, the system averages out the totals generated by the various Turkers, and the user is provided with their answer.
Each Turker receives a nominal payment for every task they accomplish.
Presumably, PlateMate users don't sit around with the food still on their plate, waiting to see the results before tucking in. The crowd feedback for one meal choice, however, could guide them in choosing types and amounts of foods in subsequent meals.
There were some hiccups (no pun intended) in setting up the system. Some Turkers, for instance, misidentified foods submitted by users from other cultures. Other Turkers took the lazy approach - from an on-screen list of types of food, they simply selected the first term that had some relevance to a food they had identified, instead of searching through the list for a more specific term. These problems were addressed by breaking the process down into clearly defined tasks, posting warnings about common errors, being more selective when choosing Turkers, and applying algorithms that chose the most-likely-to-be-accurate food identification from a number that were selected for one item.
Down the road, user submissions may also be pared with locational data, so Turkers will know the geographical context of what they're looking at.
"A lot of prior crowdsourcing research has been about making crowds do things that we wish computers could do, like shorten an 800-word essay to 500 words and have it still make sense," said Noronha. "What makes the nutrition application so interesting as a problem in crowdsourcing is that computers are so very far away from doing it on their own - because food is such a human thing."

i have written up some ideas how online social gaming could be applied for fitness... like one is uploading one s todays exercises log to a) have a kind of online exercise diary and b) allow peers to comment on it
creating one s own desired type of body in an avatar what would go to the gym in vr or do the exercises in virtual nature areas ... could give both a possibility to exchange with others on the \"what you think about my exercises\" plus eventually lead to finding fellow fitness enthusiast to do sessions in real gyms and outdoorAndreas Buechel

Former White Oak High School track standout Toya Anding will be running and jumping for Shaw University – just not this year.
The 18-year-old Anding said she'll be red-shirted as a freshman as she works to improve to her track-and-field skills before competing for the Raleigh school next season, which is fine with the two-time NCHSAA 3-A regional champion in the long jump.
"I know I need a lot of work," she said. "So I'm going to take that year and work with the team and be in the weight room for a year and then start with the track team (in 2015)."
Anding said there were "a lot of things" she'll be focused on improving.
"Like I never had a jump coach, so I actually want one and know how to jump for real," she said. "A lot of it (in high school) was just me going out and jumping."
While finished sixth in the triple jump in the state championships as a junior, Anding said she doesn't expect to do that event at Shaw. Instead, she will do the long jump and run the 100-meter dash along with the 4 x 100 relay.
Last season, Anding and the Vikings were sixth in the 4 x 1 at the state 3-A championships. She also finished eighth in the long jump after winding up fourth as a junior.
Anding said locale was a factor in her decision to go to Shaw.
"I like the track team, and it's in Raleigh. That's where my family is. So I decided to go closer to where my family is," she said. "There were other schools (she considered), but I didn't really have a particular school I wanted to go to. I just wanted to go to school and be on a good track team."
That, she added, has been a goal since she started running track at WOHS.
"I always wanted to run track in college," said Anding, who plans on majoring in biology in hopes of one day becoming a veterinarian. "That's the one thing I really wanted to do."
