Dems look down ballot as GOP leads top Kan. races
"I've always felt Kansas is a conservative state, and that's one of the things I've appreciated. It seems the Legislature has become a little bit lax in some areas," said Bret Allen, 46, a Republican banker from Lenexa who voted for Republican Greg Smith in the state Senate race.
Democrats countered by trying to make legislative races a referendum on Brownback and massive income tax cuts enacted this year. Brownback and others who back the cuts contend they'll stimulate the economy.
Janel Bowers, the chief development officer for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Topeka, said she's a lifelong Democrat and that she voted for Democratic state Sen. Laura Kelly, whom she called a strong supporter of education. She said she's concerned about the consequences of the income tax cuts.
On Tuesday, state officials and university economists issued a new financial forecast predicting the state will collect nearly $705 million less in revenues during the fiscal year that begins in July 2013 than it will during this fiscal year, as massive income tax cuts enacted this year take effect.
Legislative researchers immediately projected a budget shortfall of $328 million, reflecting the gap between anticipated revenues and existing spending commitments for the next fiscal year.
"People do need to be self-sufficient, but the reality is that government exists for a reason," said Bowers, 41. "I think Brownback is reckless."
John Mayhon, the 52-year-old owner of a Topeka insurance agency and a Republican, said criticism of Brownback's tax plan is "almost a scare tactic."
"It hasn't had enough time" so it can work, he said.

Kelly Slater: Most Interesting Man
It's time for a "Six Degrees of Kelly Slater" celebrity flow chart
Bowhunting. Pearl Jam. Huey Lewis. David Hasselhoff. Bono. Don Cheadle. This is the first time in the history of the English language that those names were all strung together like that.

Big spins aren't the most beloved of skateboard tricks, but they do have a place in a skater's repertoire. In surfing, however, the debate continues as to whether or not they should be glorified. Just like a pop shuvit, the surfer has to ride out switch stance, which generally means a leash on the front

This is an astonishing proposition when you remember that some of these lumbering creatures weighed more than 100 tons.
I doubt that these two clumsy, lumbering companies can work together in any meaningful way.
This was about the time a Texas lumbering company was becoming a major stockholder in Time Inc.
"timber sawn into rough planks," 1660s, American English (Massachusetts), earlier "disused bit of furniture; heavy, useless objects" (1550s), probably from lumber (v.), perhaps influenced by Lombard, from the Italian immigrants famous as pawnbrokers and money-lenders in England (see Lombard). Lumbar, Lumbard were old alternative forms of Lombard in English. The evolution of sense then would be because a lumber-house ("pawn shop") naturally accumulates odds and ends of furniture.
Live Lumber; soldiers or passengers on board a ship are so called by the sailors.
LUMBER HOUSE. A house appropriated by thieves for the reception of their stolen property. ["Dictionary of Buckish Slang, University Wit, and Pickpocket Eloquence," London, 1811]
"to move clumsily," c.1300, lomere, probably from a Scandinavian source (cf. dialectal Swedish loma "move slowly, walk heavily," Old Norse lami "lame"), ultimately cognate with lame (adj.). Related: Lumbered; lumbering.
A bat (1940s+ Baseball)
To take advantage of someone; make someone a scapegoat •Chiefly British: He was totally lumbered. It was a terrible travesty (1845+)
[verb sense fr lumber, ''to fill up or obstruct with lumber,'' found by 1642]

The Kirk PZ-143 Camera Plate for Nikon D7000 with MB-D11 Battery Grip is a quick-release plate that's designed specifically for the Nikon D7000 with a MB-D11 battery grip attached. Its dovetail fits Arca-Swiss-style clamps to enable a quick release from a tripod head.
The plate is machined in the U.S. from 6061-T6 aluminum and it includes a stainless steel Allen screw for attaching it to the camera. Two additional screws serve as safety stops; in case the clamp is inadvertently left loose, the smaller screws will help stop the camera and plate from sliding all the way off the head.

Da Matta out of intensive care
|By Tim Redmayne
|Monday, August 21st 2006, 10:08 GMT
Cristiano da Matta is now out of intensive care as he continues his recovery from his testing crash earlier this month.
The Brazilian has been transferred to an intermediate care unit at the Theda Clark Medical Centre, however he is not completely conscious, responsive or able to speak yet.
Champ Car medical director Dr Chris Pinderski has been in constant contact with the medical staff to monitor the condition of da Matta.
"Cristiano is still making daily progress while recovering from injury two weeks ago," said Pinderski. "We will now begin the process of planning for longer term rehabilitation which is necessary after significant head injuries."
Da Matta's teammate, Justin Wilson traveled to Neenah yesterday with RuSPORT president Jeremy Dale, to visit da Matta and his family.
"Justin and I are both very happy to see the improvement in Cristiano's condition," said Dale. "The staff here at Theda Clark have told us that he is making remarkable progress, and that is encouraging to us."

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"This invitation was everything I wanted!!!! The card was beautiful, and I love the different fonts for the writing...it also came extremely quickly which was awesome because I had waited longer than I should have to order...will definitely use wedding divas again and highly recommend to anyone!"
"The invitation turned out prettier than I imagined. The text and colors were amazing. The gold shimmer envelopes were the perfect touch - high quality/rich looking."
"I used this invitation for my Hawaiian themed shower. I didn't want anything tacky and this invitation was perfect for that. I got so many compliments and I was very satisfied with everything."
"Absolutely loved this card. Was obsessed with the rasberry color I chose and loved that another suite (vivid blooms) matches it somewhat and I was able to find from that suite the recipe cards!"

Trivia: You're Under Arrest!
- Hey, It's That Voice!:
- Japan only - Miyuki is Yukari Tanizaki, Natsumi is the voice of the Tachikomas, Yoriko is Tamama, Kachou is the Japanese voice of Soundwave, Aoi is Ash, Ken is Broly, Toukairin is Domon Kasshu, Sena is Takeru, Saori is Makoto Sawatari, Strike Man is Ikki, Inspector Tokuno is Mao, Inspector Kinoshita is Queen Nehellenia and Chie is Arachne.
- The less said about a lot of the supporting and guest cast throughout the three seasons, the better.
- The Animeigo English dub has Belldandy & Peorth as Miyuki and Inspector Zenigata as Ken.
- In the Latin-American dub made in Chile, Natsumi and Miyuki are Ryoko and Ayeka, while Aoi and Yoriko are Mihoshi and Kiyone AND Tokairin is Tenchi.
- Names to Know in Anime: Koichi Ohata (MD Geist, Genocyber, Burst Angel) directed the third season.
- No Export for You: You're Under Arrest in America has not been released outside of Japan. The manga is also hard to find due to lack of re-releases, and is mostly not officially exported. The fact that Dark Horse Comics, responsible for the English version, had to contend with Executive Meddling* didn't help matters much. Although there are unofficial efforts to get it out in English.
- Same goes with the Playstation gaiden game.
- Unintentional Period Piece: The manga just reeks of 80s and 90s, especially the clothing.

Are those astronaut pants?
Well I'm not really sure how to write about myself, but here goes nothing. By day I am a lead Software Developer for a Government Contractor. Work stays pretty busy sometimes, and I'm not really one to go out to clubs and meet people. So I figured why not try this out, see if I can meet any new friends, and possibly more. I think most people would say I'm a very laid back, go with the flow kinda guy. In my spare time I love reading, watching movies, hanging out at a bar, and going to Jags games. You can usually find me out playing bingo or trivia somewhere. One of my all time loves is going to concerts. I definitely goto as many live shows as I can, and have seen everyone from Snoop Dogg, Green Day, Death Cab For Cutie, and tons more. I really love any live performance, whether it's music, comedy, plays, etc. I don't get to as much as I like, but I also like to travel. Recently I went to NC and went white water rafting, and zip lining. The zip line was half a mile long, and over 300 feet high. I'm usually up for trying anything though, even if it scares the crap out of me. I'm not really on here to rush into anything. I figured it would be a good way to meet new people who have my same sense of humor and love of all things fun. So if you are all about that too, then we should talk!

My thoughts are today with the victims of rape, sexual assault, and harassment who never saw justice in Malaysia, who think they never will, and whose stories are met with skepticism, disbelief, shaming & blaming.
You're statistically NOT a Malay dude yang boleh selamba je meet-cute with the Prime Minister over your scholarship dreams of being a pilot. Your alleged rapist is also unlikely the govt's most disliked Malay dude either. Paham-paham lah kan.
We all know now that if THAT was your situation and your question is "Will the court take my rape seriously?" They will say "Yessss we believe you sangat-sangat, jom kita lokap up your attacker so no one gets hurt by 'em againnn"
My thoughts are today with you,
the people who have yet to experience that justice,
who are watching the judgement of this case blow up,
who don't give a shit about what "really" happened because
they're seeing a narrative of rape that shows
it really IS about power & privilege,
not what x or y were wearing or whether they were 'asking' for it.
("We must not forget who's involved in this rape allegation […] women have a tendency to exaggerate abt a sexual act" – Justice Zamani Abd Rahim, who also thought in 2012 that children find it hard to differentiate fact from fantasy re: rape. In 2013, verdicts also show Malaysian judiciary pretty much believed 2,097 out of 2,111 men were good dudes just wrongfully charged w/ raping kids. A 2005 WCC Penang study found attitudinal and structural factors stack the odds against victims of sexual crime EVERY step of the way in the courts: first, in getting a case to trial; second, in getting a hearing free of stereotypical prejudices; and finally, in getting a conviction.)
We need to stay undistracted, stay connected, stay aware of injustice. Our condition can only change when we change ourselves (13:11).

What do you say in response to the Executive Officer? ............................................................. 6 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |2 Part one From the perspective of an IT professional, discuss the practices and activities you would employ or undertake to: 1. Protect the interests of the clients Defending client interests is about doing what is best for your client's business operations. This may be an external client, an internal department, or a colleague. It may also be a human being whose details are stored by your company. Your client will expect: • Value for money • Confidentiality • Security and reliability • Business like service • Appropriate IT solutions There are three main points that cover protecting the client interests and they are as follows Value for money While satisfying your client is important, you should be conscious that what the client wants and desires may not always be the same thing. Reliability and security You may have things such as data security, and efficiency of systems, but continuity of service to a client is the most important element. Two types of threat to the continuity of service are: • Accidental loss of data or services consequential from system failure, human error or act of nature. • Deliberate or incidental loss or damage from hacking or other unwanted access from a person outside getting hold of your database. Confidentiality and proprietary rights The IT professional time and again has right of entry to information that is confidential or commercially sensitive. Confidentiality covers business and operational information, such as data, tenders, systems, financial dealings, security, product details and product specifications. This is poles apart from privacy, which protects the rights of individuals. 2. Produce quality products and services Quality is about making sure that a high standard product or service is given to the client or employer in a cost-effective, consistent and timely manner. The way in which you can make sure that you produce quality products and services is by setting up a quality management system. Formal quality management systems can include: • Total Quality Management (TQM) • Quality Management (QM) • Quality Assurance (QA) • Quality Frameworks • Continuous Improvement Processes These are general terms used to explain similar approaches to managing quality. 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |3 An organisation's quality framework must guarantee processes are aligned with the appropriate legislation, industry standards and other organisational guidelines. 3. Ensure the correct representation of yourself and by extension your organisation, in an ethical manner. A qualification alone does not make you a professional. You must act like a professional, express honesty and fair play, and correctly symbolize yourself, your organisation and your products and services in all business transactions with clients. A professional: • Respects the differences of others • Wear the right clothes and acts professional • When doing business dealings conduct themselves in a fair and honest manner • Abides by legal, industry and workplace principles. For the professional, correct representation means to: • Give unbiased advice and divulge all related information • Do not be misrepresentative of what you can do by overestimating your abilities. • To provide precise quotes and work estimates. 4. Maintain good work practices. As an IT professional you should be able to figure out potential ethical troubles and come to a decision on the appropriate action needed. Before you act, you'll need to know: Who you have to contact in relation to what the problem is ie: the right person to handle the problem. How much do government, industry and others have in affect to determining ethical behaviours? The ethical concerns that apply to IT professionals. When tackling problem as an IT professional some things that you should consider are as follows: • What would your family and friends think of the action that you have taken? • Before you make a decision think of how a legal adviser would handle the problem? • How would others in your profession or the wider community approach the same problem? • What would your client, colleagues or employers react to your solution? Part Two Produce a concise Code of Ethics appropriate for all staff at Web Wonders Pty Ltd-a web design company. 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |4 Code of ethics for designing websites at Web Wonders Our pledge We will not promote or link to any sites with hate group propaganda, violence or pornography. We will not design a website that deliberately confuses the user into taking an unanticipated action. Such as being directed to another webpage without meaning to take that step. We will not make any website with unnecessary large downloads or excessive animations that would cost allot to down load. We will not lead the user to unnecessary sites by redirecting their URL. We will not utilize any web based technology which does not allow most of the site users to experience a more informative, more efficient and over all better experience. If it does not make the user's experience simpler, then the web based technology will be thrown out. We will not bombard the user with pop-up windows that have advertisements contained within them. We will only use pop-up windows if the user has requested that information. We will uphold the law in relation to copyright, spamming as stated by a federal and state laws. We will not use loops or repeating windows that force the user to stay at our site. We will only design pages that the user has control over navigation never will the navigation be forced on the user by us. We will not exploit someone that is new to using the internet for our own personal gain. This could be our users or clients. We will make websites that are designed to treat the user with respect. Make certain that our clients confidentiality is protected. The ethics on how we use serch engines optimization 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |5 We will follow only ethical search engines optimisation methods .The techniques that we employ have lasting results. By using these techniques it is less likely that our websites will be banned from search engines. The methods that we DO NOT employ are: Hidden text or hidden Links Misspelling of well-known websites Keyword stuffing which is using too many key word on the page Cloaking and false redirects We will work to the best of our understanding to increase and retain the ranking of our clients. Part Three Read the following scenario and respond to the two questions below. Scenario You are contracted by a Web design consultancy company to interview their staff to ascertain their current knowledge. The aim of the study is to inform the company about the type of training courses they need to implement. Therefore you will need to highlight areas of overall weakness as opposed to individual shortcomings. Consequently, the type of data you collect should be able to identify the weaknesses of individuals. Informed consent clearly states that comments made to you by interviewees are to remain private. Following the study, a senior assistant Executive Officer of the company approaches you, asking you "who did well in the study?" 1. Discuss the factors that should affect your actions. Where appropriate, make reference to the ACS Code of Ethics. I think that the senior assistant's question should not be answered firstly due to the fact that it violates the ACS Code of Ethics rule number one which is as follows: 1. The Primacy of the Public Interest: You will place the interests of the public above those of personal, business or sectional interests. This means that you should keep anonymity when discussing any form of study result of clients. Even if you have not signed a confidentially agreement while on the job then you are still bound by the code of ethics that you follow and that is set by the ACS. Not to disclose any information that may be detrimental to people that you work for or public information that you may come across in day to day work as an IT professional. 2. What do you say in response to the Executive Officer? Rather than not give a reply to the question at all I would respond by advising the Executive Officer that the ACS Code of Ethics recommends that I do not divulge personal information about personnel. Instead I would tell Executive Officer what parts of the training course the team as a whole did well in and in what parts of the training course they did not do well in. In this way I would not have affected the privacy of the individuals that took the study. 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |6 Bibliography http://www.jdwebdesign.com.au/information/code_of_ethics.pdf 29 May 2011 Nicholas Anthony Page |7

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Dale Weise's second-period tally proved to be the difference, as the Vancouver Canucks held off the St. Louis Blues, 3-2, on Tuesday at Rogers Arena.
Daniel Sedin registered a goal and an assist, while Jannik Hansen also lit the lamp as part of a three-goal second stanza that helped the Canucks put the brakes on a two-game skid.
Cory Schneider stopped 32 shots in the victory.
"We got a real solid performance from Cory," Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. "You need great goaltending to win in this league. He gave us that."
Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund each scored once in the third, but St. Louis winger Vladimir Sobotka was whistled for boarding with just over three minutes left in regulation to handcuff the Blues' comeback bid.
Jake Allen allowed all three goals on 19 shots for the Blues, who had won three straight and five of their last six coming in.
St. Louis dominated the play over the opening 20 minutes, but Schneider stopped all 15 shots he faced in the frame to help the Canucks kill off a pair of penalties and send the teams into the second locked in a scoreless tie.
After managing just three shots in the first, Vancouver broke through with a pair of goals just 1:42 apart less than five minutes into the second.
The first came at the 2:30 mark of the middle stanza, as Mason Raymond's feed from the neutral zone sprang Hansen down the right side before the Vancouver winger rifled a blast from the top of the right circle that found the far top corner of the net to make it 1-0.
The Sedin twins combined for the second marker just under two minutes later, when Henrik Sedin recovered a rebound behind the net and skated to the low left side before sliding a pass to his brother cutting to the low right side, where Daniel Sedin buried a one-timer for a 2-0 lead at the 4:12 mark.
Vancouver added to its lead at the 11:15 mark when Jordan Schroeder skated hard into the zone before spinning around in the high slot. Schroeder then fed a cutting Weise on the low right side before the Vancouver winger cut in front and beat Allen with a backhand to make it 3-0.
"They're top players started to really dial it up in the second and we didn't have an answer for about 10 or 12 minutes," St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock admitted. "We got great effort from Sobotka's line, but other than that we didn't get much of a push."
After registering just six shots in the second, St. Louis stormed back in the third, as Vladimir Tarasenko's one-timer from the top of the left circle deflected off the body of Schwartz in front before finding the back of the net to bring the Blues within 3-1 at the 5:46 mark.
The Blues continued to battle back with another marker later in the third, as Kris Russell's blast from the top of the left circle caught Vancouver defenseman Christopher Tanev up high before landing on the stick of Berglund, who buried a quick shot past Schneider to make it 3-2 at the 13:38 mark.
St. Louis would get no closer though, as Sobotka's boarding minor at the 16:54 mark forced the Blues to play on the penalty kill down the stretch.

Not recommendedPosted on 05 / 24 / 2015
We went for lunch one day and it was extremely hot outside. No a/c and fans do nothing. We poured sweat the whole time. One staff spoke a little English but others did not (which is okay, just letting it be known). They were out of pho and the food was just okay. Fairly bland. Dirty place though. Bathroom is disgusting. Workers using the hose on the toilet to wash their feet and legs in the bathroom so the floor was soaking wet. If it were cleaner, I'd give it 3-4 stars. I wish I could give it 1 star. We ate at many better vegan places in Hanoi. I also don't usually care about the look of a place. I like authentic places but this place was gross.

Maryland to offer lifetime scholarships for all athletes
Maryland joined the growing list of schools to offer guaranteed scholarships on Tuesday with the announcement of "The Maryland Way Guarantee."
What is different about the program at Maryland is that the lifetime scholarship will be ofered to all athletes, not just those in the major revenue sports. Other schools are moving towards guaranteed scholarships for men's basketball and football, but the Terps are one of the first athletic departments to do so across all sports.
"Our vision is to be the best intercollegiate athletic program while producing graduates who are prepared to serve as leaders in the local, state and global communities," athletic director Kevin Anderson said in a statement released by the school. "We are confident 'The Maryland Way Guarantee' will further demonstrate our commitment to our student-athletes' pursuit of a college degree."
According to current NCAA rules, scholarships can be pulled, reduced or renewed after each year. Maryland is taking the guarantee even beyond four years, adding exhausted eligibility aid to the scholarship agreement so that athletes can continue pursuing a degree once his or her eligibility has expired.

And then he shoots himself XD?
After writing this review I'm going to go watch the next episode, but before I do, I have one question, does every episode end with Alucard getting shot? Lol.
I like your usage of the soundboard. You barely have to edit any of them at all! The animation was extremely poor but it was funnier that way. But nice job on this.
He has such a way the ladies

Beleaguered caregivers getting help from apps
Tuesday April 23, 2013
From GPS devices and computer programs that help relatives track a wandering Alzheimer's patient to iPad apps that help an autistic child communicate, a growing number of tools for the smartphone, the tablet and the laptop are catering to beleaguered
Jim Fitzgerald
Seattle Times - As her mother and father edged toward dementia, Nancy D'Auria kept a piece of paper in her wallet listing their medications.
It had the dosages, the time of day each should be taken and a check mark when her folks, who live 10 miles away, assured her the pills had been swallowed.
"I work full time so it was very challenging," said D'Auria, 63, of West Nyack, N.Y.
Now she has an app for that. With a tap or two on her iPhone, D'Auria can access a "pillbox" program that keeps it all organized for her and other relatives who share in the caregiving and subscribe to the app.
"I love the feature that others can see this," D'Auria said. "I'm usually the one who takes care of this, but if I get stuck, they're all up to date."
From GPS devices and computer programs that help relatives track a wandering Alzheimer's patient to iPad apps that help an autistic child communicate, a growing number of tools for the smartphone, the tablet and the laptop are catering to beleaguered caregivers. With baby boomers getting older, the market for such technology is expected to increase.
The pillbox program is just one feature of a $3.99 app called Balance that was launched last month by the National Alzheimer Center, a division of the Hebrew Home at Riverdale in the Bronx.
"We thought there would be an opportunity here to reach caregivers in a different way," said David Pomerantz, executive vice president of the Hebrew Home. "It would be a way to reach people the way people like to be reached now, on their phone."
The app also includes sections for caregiving tips, notes for the doctor and the patient's appointments, plus a "learning section" with articles on Alzheimer's and an RSS feed for news about the disease.
Trackers are also important tools for Alzheimer's caregivers.
Laura Jones, of Lighthouse Point, Fla., said she was able to extend her husband's independence for a year and a half by using a program called Comfort Zone.
"He was just 50 when he was diagnosed," she said.
Jones said she went to work so he would continue to get insurance coverage.
"Day care was not appropriate, home care was not affordable," she said. "Even when he stopped driving, he would ride his bike all over town, to the gym, for coffee, errands. He would take the dog for a walk and be out and about when he was alone, and I was working."
Using Comfort Zone, which is offered by the Alzheimer's Association starting at $43 a month, she was able to go online and track exactly where he was and where he had been.
Her husband carried a GPS device, which sent a signal every five minutes. If Jones checked online every hour, she would see 12 points on a map revealing her husband's travels. She would also get an alert if he left a designated area.
Eventually, the tracking revealed Jones' husband was getting lost.
"He would make a big funny loop off the usual route, and we knew it was time to start locking down on him," she said.
Mended Hearts, an organization of heart patients and their caregivers, is about to start a program to reach caregivers by texting tips to their phones.
"We hope this will be the beginning of several patient- and caregiver-based texting programs that reach people where they are," said executive director Karen Caruth.
Lisa Goring, vice president of Autism Speaks, said tablets have been a boon to families with autistic children. The organization has given iPads to 850 low-income families. And the Autism Speaks website lists hundreds of programs — from Angry Birds to Autism Language Learning — that families have found useful.
Samantha Boyd, of McConnellstown, Pa., said her 8-year-old autistic son gets excited when the iPad is brought out.
"There's no way he'd be able to use a keyboard and mouse," she said. "But with the iPad, we use the read-aloud books, the songs, the flashcard apps."
She said the repetition and visuals help. "He catches a word and repeats it back. He says the name of a picture, and the iPad says it back."
Boyd said the iPad also works as a reward: "He likes to watch Netflix on it."
"We're in the infancy of what technology can do for caregiving and it's only going to grow," said Beth Kallmyer, a vice president at the Alzheimer's Association.
But she cautioned it's too soon to depend entirely on online tools.
"It's not a good fit for everybody," she said. "When you're looking at people impacted by Alzheimer's disease, including some caregivers, you're looking at an older population that might not be comfortable. We always have to remember technology is great — when it works."

BWW Reviews: Peter Nero and the Philly Pops Time Travel at PIFA to Swinging Sixties Spy Movie Music
On April 26, 2013 Peter Nero and the Philly Pops presented their offering for the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, a tribute to the first James Bond movie. The BOND AND BEYOND concert at Kimmel Center was conducted by guest conductor Michael Krajewski (conductor of the Atlanta Pops and the Houston Pops), who will be assuming the mantle of Musical Director of the Philly Pops for the 2013-2014 season.
Much of the Bond repertoire was covered, to the great pleasure of the audience, with the Pops' signature brass and percussion sounds filling Verizon Hall. Assisting the orchestra on vocal numbers ranging from the theme from "Goldfinger" to Adele's "Skyfall" was Tony-winning soprano Debbie Gravitte, a veteran of the Pops stage.
Orchestral pieces began, fittingly, with the signature James Bond theme by Monty Norman (attributed in the program to its arranger, John Barry - Norman has won multiple libel actions for attributions of the theme to Barry rather than Norman), and then moved into several of the earlier movie themes, including "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" with Debbie Gravitte, featuring the Pops' trademark horns.
The one non-Bond piece in the first half of the program was, in maestro Krajewski's opinion, a spin on Bond gadgetry, the Concerto for Cell Phone by Ames M. Stephenson, with assistant conductor and keyboardist Jeff Smith performing as cell phone soloist with a range of cell phones with differing ring tones used as the instruments of mass distraction as the orchestra picked up the ring tone themes and variations thereof. As Krajewski explained prior to the Concerto, this constituted the "fusion of art and technology in a unique and meaningless way". A number of audience members rose spontaneously at the end of the piece to celebrate the combination of musicality and mayhem that the Concerto brought to the Pops stage (along with an assortment of martinis, mislaid musical scores, and other comic mugging). It must be conceded, with Krajewski's observation, that it was "ironic to hear this in Verizon Hall, come to think of it."

In Memoriam
Adrift: Remembering Yoshihiro Tatsumi
April 3, 2015 | by Chris Oliveros
About a dozen years ago, while I was on a business trip to the Bay Area, the cartoonist Adrian Tomine asked if we could meet to discuss an idea he had of publishing the work of an obscure, mostly forgotten Japanese cartoonist named Yoshihiro Tatsumi. At that point, only one collection of Tatsumi's comics had been translated and published in English, and that edition, from 1987, wasn't produced in the best of circumstances: it was a bootleg, published without Tatsumi's permission, featuring poorly reproduced artwork and somewhat stilted dialogue as a result of a subpar translation. And yet somehow that lone volume managed to find its way to Sacramento in the late 1980s, into the hands of then-fourteen-year-old Adrian Tomine at precisely the moment when his own sensibility as a cartoonist was beginning to take form.
During our meeting, Adrian showed me this book, as well as many more untranslated pages that he had managed to track down. It didn't take much (if any) convincing on his part: I was immediately impressed with Tatsumi's stark artwork, and there was a definite appeal in the narrative representation of the dark underside of late sixties Tokyo. Drawn & Quarterly managed to secure the rights and commission proper translations, which led to the publication of several volumes of Tatsumi's short stories, with Adrian working very closely on every aspect—as editor, designer, and even letterer of the series.
We were little surprised when the series received immediate acclaim. After all, the everyday realism portrayed in Tatsumi's comics has a particular affinity with literary graphic novels of North America, with one important exception: Tatsumi's comics (which he called gekiga, meaning "dramatic pictures") predated any similar material being produced here by at least a couple of decades.

Terry Pratchett, 1948–2015
March 12, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
The BBC has just reported that Terry Pratchett has died at sixty-six. Pratchett wrote more than seventy books, most of them part of his Discworld series: satirical, philosophical fantasy novels that earned him a wide readership, sometimes at the expense of the critical attention his work merits. "Terry Pratchett is not one to go gentle into any night, good or otherwise," his friend Neil Gaiman wrote of him last June, as he was beginning to slip away to Alzheimer's. "He will rage, as he leaves, against so many things: stupidity, injustice, human foolishness and shortsightedness, not just the dying of the light … Terry Pratchett is not a jolly old elf at all. Not even close."
Here's a bit from Pratchett's 2007 essay, "Notes from a Successful Fantasy Author: Keep it Real." It speaks to genre fiction's unique position as a vehicle for social commentary, and to the set of logic puzzles a fantasy novelist faces in trying to build a new world. You can find it in A Slip of the Keyboard, a collection of his nonfiction published last year. Read More »
Freddy Plimpton
February 26, 2015 | by Taylor Plimpton and Family
The artist and designer Freddy Medora Espy Plimpton passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Vermont Respite House on February 22, a beautiful Sunday morning. She was seventy-three.
The daughter of Willard R. Espy and Hilda Cole Espy, both writers, Freddy was born in New York City and grew up in Mt. Kisco, New York, alongside her twin sister, Mona Schreiber; her younger sisters, Joanna Espy and Cassy Espy; and her younger brother, Jefferson Espy. She graduated from Fox Lane High School in 1959, and then attended Parsons School of Design. She moved to New York in the early sixties, where she worked at Random House writing book-jacket copy and later became a photographer's assistant. Considered one of the great beauties of the times, she married the author and editor George Ames Plimpton in 1968, with whom she later had two children, Medora Ames Plimpton and Taylor Ames Plimpton. Freddy traveled with George on the campaign trail as an integral part of Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 run for the presidency and was present to witness the great tragedy at the Ambassador Hotel when Kennedy was shot and killed. Read More »
Philip Levine, 1928–2015
February 15, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
We were saddened to learn that Philip Levine died yesterday at eighty-seven. The U.S. poet laureate from 2011 to 2012, he composed poems that were, as Margalit Fox writes in the New York Times, "vibrantly, angrily, and often painfully alive with the sound, smell, and sinew of heavy manual labor."
Levine grew up in industrial Detroit during the Depression; the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, he worked factory jobs for Cadillac and for Chevrolet. "You could recite poems aloud in there," he told The Paris Review in 1988 of his time on the assembly line. "The noise was so stupendous. Some people singing, some people talking to themselves, a lot of communication going on with nothing, no one to hear."
His time in those jobs would later inform one of his most enduring poems, "They Feed They Lion," from the late sixties—you can hear him read it above. Levine explained the title in a 1999 interview with The Atlantic: Read More »
The Post-Šalamunian Period
January 22, 2015 | by André Naffis-Sahely
Remembering Tomaž Šalamun.
I had written to tell Tomaž Šalamun he'd changed my life—thanks to him, I'd begun to put down roots in a new continent, and met the woman I was going to marry. I had at least assumed I could take him out to dinner on his next visit to the U.S. The letter went unanswered for a couple of weeks and then a reply materialized in my inbox. "With my last strength I greet you," he wrote, dictating the letter to his wife, the painter Metka Krašovec, "enjoy the States, I think this is the best place for you." Five weeks later, on December 27, 2014, Šalamun passed away in his beloved Ljubljana.
I had only met him once, at a festival on a wine estate outside Stellenbosch in 2013, but he had made an immediate and lasting impression. It took me a few days to shape my speechlessness into an answer. "He is calm and patient," Metka assured me in her postscript, "and he accepted his death the moment he found out about his cancer." I had assumed he was all but immortal, sustained by the unfettered vitality that electrified all of his poems. After all, this was the man who beat Lucretius up his ass, thought killing smelled good, stuffed Mitteleuropa with shine and "cut off [her] claustrophobic head with a clasp knife"; who paused halfway through a poem to wonder how he would make love that day, "will I be like a pasha, a conquistador, will I/tremble, amazed and quiet?" It was thus greatly distressing to learn he'd spent the last three months of his life suffering from such vertigo that it left him unable to read, write, or walk by himself. I had sensed a hint of frailty during our time in South Africa. During a weekend at a farm on the banks of the Berg River, our host had offered to take us on a ride through his holdings, and although I'd seen Tomaž eye the horse somewhat longingly, he'd excused himself saying he'd hurt his back, but didn't tell us how. I wish he had: as Christopher Merrill informed us in his elegant tribute, Tomaž injured himself tobogganing down the Great Wall of China. Of course he had. Read More »
Jane Wilson, 1924–2015
January 15, 2015 | by Nicole Rudick
Last month, I got a peek at a private collection of work by the painter Jane Wilson. Tucked away in a Midtown East town-house office are a handful of her diminutive watercolors and a very large oil painting depicting one of Wilson's characteristic landscapes—a sweeping, hazy view of a sliver of land and a limitless sky.
Last fall, I saw a host of such paintings in Wilson's show at DC Moore Gallery. Yet there's a difference between admiring her evocative landscapes—or, more precisely, skyscapes—in a gallery setting and discovering them in a secret spot, where, I imagine, they exist for their owner as a private portal, an escape—out of the office, out of the city, out of one's own life. Imagine sitting in a darkened, quiet office and looking up at Wilson's plush, golden altocumulus clouds or at the purple and blue striations of storm clouds over a teal sky or at the dappled, cobalt blue of twilight. Where couldn't you go? Read More »

After a fair bit of research decided to take the plunge and start with Invisalign. Never had any sort of brace on my teeth despite them being very crooked from when a teenager. Vanity played a small role as the crooked tooth in the front was beginning to stick further out. Thought I would have... READ MORE

I am coding a wordpress theme for a magazine. One aspect of the site, is that the homepage is static, and it features the current issue of the magazine in one area of the homepage. I need help figuring out the most practical way of replacing content for the most recent issue on the homepage.
Basically, every month, an image, as well as a title and a short paragraph of text will change on the homepage. My homepage is a static page (from a template). I would like the client to be able to change the picture/text from the back end of wordpress. That said, is the best way to go about this is to write a custom post type?
This is unrelated to the blog (posts section). There is probably a very simple way of going about this. Any ideas?

Jonathan Zimmerman: What's Not Being Taught About the Iraq Wartags: Jonathan Zimmerman, textbooks, Iraq War, school curriculum
Jonathan Zimmerman is a professor of education and history at New York University. He is the author of Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory and three other books.
Upon the 10th anniversary of America's war in Iraq, a critical question with serious ramifications has been little explored: What are our children being taught in schools about the conflict, as it passes from "current events" into history?
To answer this question, one obvious place to start is school textbooks. I looked at several of them, and was happily surprised. The books present a fairly complex and balanced view of the war in Iraq, avoiding the falsehoods and sugarcoating that has so often marred American history instruction. But textbooks only tell part of the story.
Just as important is what is actually emphasized in the classrooms, and the ability of teachers to engage in real inquiry. Unfortunately, a combination of school policies and judicial decisions have made it so that many kids learn little or nothing about what we have done in Iraq, or why we have done it.
I'm a professor of education and history, and wrote a book examining conflicts over history in American public schools. But for me, this probe is more than theoretical: My daughter is an 11th grader in a suburban public high school, where she takes Advanced Placement U.S. History.
Her textbook, "The Enduring Vision: A History of the American People," has a 2009 edition that carefully examines the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It includes lengthy passages about controversial issues, including prisoner abuse overseas and domestic surveillance at home. Ditto for the 2009 edition of another textbook, "Out of Many: A History of the American People," co-authored by Yale's John Mack Faragher, which is also used in many high schools around the country. Its new section on the Iraq War leads off with a picture of George W. Bush's now-infamous "Mission Accomplished" photo op in May of 2003, when Bush declared that "the United States and our allies have prevailed." But they hadn't, of course, and the book pulls no punches about that. Parts of Iraq "plunged into chaos" after the U.S. invasion, which "strengthened a new generation of terror networks now drawn to do battle with American forces," the book declares....
