Through poems and poetic prose pieces, acclaimed children's author Arnold Adoff celebrates that uniquely American form of music called the blues. In his signature "shaped speech" style, he creates a narrative of moments and joyous music, from the drums of the ancestors, the red dirt of the plantations, the current of the mighty Mississippi, and the shackles, blood, and tears of slavery. Each chop of the ax is a beat, each lash of the whip fashions another line on the musical staff. But each sound also creates the chords and harmonies that preserve the ancestors and their stories, and sustain life, faith, and hope into our own times.
R. Gregory Christie is a Coretta Scott King Honor Award-winner and a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award recipient. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. Please visit his website to learn more: www.gas-art.com.

Black Sabbath artwork revealed
Great , Cant wait.
Clip is very much quintessential Sabbath.
Digging: The Named - The Named
"much anticipated"
I really hope this is good, little clip sounded pretty rocking.
Digging: Neil Young - Zuma
vox were meh but this 13 seconds gmh
This sounds soooo good. Cover is alright, but the song sounds badass!
still scared on how this will sound.
Wow that music clip sounded pretty fun
gonna suk
ozzy will suck yeah
should be a few tasty riffs at least
so many 13 albums now
Lets pray that it is good, clip has promise.
That riff brings truth. Increased my interest in the album defs
hope it's good!
The Devil You Know ruled, so I don't see why this should be bad.
Digging: False - Untitled
Fuckin' stoked.
The artwork is good and song sounds pretty cool.
Riff sounds like generic stoner rock. Very little faith. Album cover is meh and the title is shit.
^lol fag
nice little riff.
No one here could do better
Digging: Ozzy Osbourne - Live & Loud
Why do all classic bands have to name their new album 13 or thirteen or fucking whatever
isn't it because it is their 13th album and it is 2013? seem to have more claim to the title than most. that said, hope this album doesn't suck... the clip didn't exactly inspire much confidence. nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, guys.
^It's actually their 19th.
That little snippet of music gives me hope that this won't totally blow. Album title and cover art suck though.
Sounds so fucking lame
Let's see how it goes.
Digging: Wizard - Bound by metal
Cool cover. Sounds like Sabbath, no surprise.
Digging: Leprous - The Congregation
sounds good
Riff sounds v Iommi, like it
Damn it's now legit to have faith in this
sounds like hellyeah
sounds cool
artwork's nothing special
Lou Reed represent.
love the riff
hate ozzy
Digging: Parliament - Motor Booty Affair
generic riffs
Wish the album cover was the same as the Amazon pre-order one! Just plain black with "black Sabbath" in purple like on master of reality.. Classic. Oh well still incredibly pumped for this!!
name sucks artwork is ok
nice riff but Iommi can do better
riff was cool but those vox are way too clear. shoulda gone back to the seventies uncle acid style.
This is gonna suck.
gen riffs smd
I still think "13" is the most clich title they could have come up with. Seriously.
Artwork's ok, riff is sweet, vox were eh. wooh basing an entire album on 28 seconds

Is there any way I can restrict my web application to certain cultures? So that .Net determines culture automatically, but the choice is restricted to these cultures.
For example, I would like to support only 'en-us' and 'it', so all other 'en' language clients will automatically be assigned 'en-us' culture.
UPDATE. I know how to set the thread culture, and I know how to determine the clients culture and then set the culture based on the clients 'base' culture (like set 'en' for all clients with 'en-xx' culture. I just want to do it properly.
Basically, I want to know how to limit the scope of cultures that is used to determine the culture when using culture="auto".

Lyme - Former Lyme resident Roger Hilsman, an author, professor and assistant secretary of state under President John F. Kennedy, died last week. He was 94.
Hilsman was remembered this week as an active statesman, scholar and community member, as well as a dedicated husband, father and grandfather.
He was director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and then served as assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs under Kennedy. He continued to serve in President Lyndon B. Johnson's administration until March 1964.
Before beginning his role in government, Hilsman graduated from West Point and served in Merrill's Marauders in Burma during World War II. He earned a doctorate in international relations at Yale University.
A former professor of government at Columbia University in New York, Hilsman authored numerous books, including "The Cuban Missile Crisis: The Struggle Over Policy" and "To Move a Nation: The Politics of Foreign Policy in the Administration of John F. Kennedy."
His 1990 memoir, "American Guerrilla: My War Behind Japanese Lines," includes how he rescued his father, Col. Roger Hilsman, from a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Mukden, China.
Giving lectures in the region and writing commentary in this newspaper and other publications, Hilsman often tackled foreign policy issues. Born in Waco, Texas, he also participated in politics in Connecticut, in Lyme, where he lived, and later in Chester.
In 1972, he ran against incumbent Robert Steele as the Democratic candidate for the 2nd Congressional District, but did not win. Amid safety concerns over speeding in Lyme, he initiated among his Hamburg Cove neighbors a letter-writing campaign to state police in the 1990s, according to newspaper archives.
A member of the Democratic Town Committee for more than two decades, he was "instrumental in bringing people together," said former chairwoman LeRay McFarland. Hilsman helped recruit new members and persuaded McFarland to run for committee chairwoman, a position she held for 17 years. Hilsman also hosted the committee's annual fundraiser picnic at his house.
"He liked the town very much and helped illuminate what the needs were and how to resolve them," McFarland said.
Hilsman is survived by his wife, Eleanor, his daughters, Amy and Sarah, his sons, Hoyt and Ashby, and his six grandchildren.
Sarah Hilsman, his youngest daughter, said her father was equally proud to work locally as he was to be involved in international affairs. She said he always wanted to help people and to rectify the injustices he encountered. He encouraged his children to give back to their country, she said.
"He would always tell us to serve our country and citizenry in any way that we could," she said. The dedication to his "To Move a Nation" reads: "To Eleanor, especially, but also to Hoyt, Amy, Ashby, and even Sarah - none of whom ever had a chance to ask what they could do for their country, but were very quickly told."
Roger Hilsman also enjoyed life and living in Lyme, she said.
"... We are proud of his service to our nation and his courage in battle and his courage in opposing the escalation of the Vietnam War," the obituary from his family read.
"He fought in war and served in high office, yet his greatest joy was to be surrounded by our mother, the love of his life, his children and grandchildren, whether driving his tractor, cooking Chinese food or singing old family songs together."

Adored by egghead critics and leathered punkers, the grizzled UK punk veterans in Leatherface offer another live album, Live in Melbourne: Viva La Arthouse (No Idea), that's a sizzling tour de force of both newly-minted tunes and others that delve deep into their ample catalog. As always, the band's tunes highlight singer Frankie Stubb's gravelly-voiced, poetic lyricism and unabashed pop-on-the-sleeve tendencies. In fact, the group has tackled Cyndi Lauper, the Police, and Elton John without even a wink of insincerity in the past, but this album doesn't revisit such fare.
Luckily, guitarist Dickie Hammond has re-joined the ranks, so Leatherface's mature mid-1990s output (like the swaying charred innocence of "Summertime" and the blitzkrieg "Not a Day Goes By") comes to the fore and holds hefty sway. Meanwhile, Stubb's wit and wordplay fill in the spaces between the music's dense and robust rumbles, invoking a free association-style rambling resembling Michael Stipe's (R.E.M.) own non-linear prowess. Tunes like the newish "God Is Dead", the second track out of the gate, finds Stubbs philosophically conjuring dogs, God, and 1970s socialist hero Victor Allende. It all makes sense, though, for he moves from personal to international affairs, examining both people's daily habits and the ways ideologies shape undercurrents of history.

The L.A. dance scene of late has felt a fresh momentum. And the decade-long accumulation -- of new companies, new venues, new academies and institutions, prestige teachers and choreographers -- took a leap in cumulative power this past month, thanks to the debut of an elegant digital source called Dance Map L.A. Simple census taking can be a … [Read more...]
The Will of Eva Perón, Painted in Tango
If it's coming your way, you won't do wrong to grab tickets to Tango Buenos Aires' current touring show, "Song of Eva Perón." Already immortalized in music and on film, Evita's physical portrait here -- mostly an energetic one, as considered here through the lens of Argentine tango -- adds subtle dimension to her mystique. Eva Perón's … [Read more...]
Do You Think You Know Gene Kelly?
Teasing apart the movie musical a few years back, cultural critic Gilberto Perez wrote that each successful musical positions one of two figures of the artist in the fore: either the performer or the director. Sometimes, as in "The Band Wagon," we actually see the two figures characterized on film, fighting for prominence. But usually, one of the … [Read more...]
Teatro Zinzanni Comes to Southern California
[first published in the L.A. Times] As the outré Euro-style dinner-theater called Teatro ZinZanni parks its vintage 1910 Belgian spiegeltent on the scrubbed architectural grounds of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts for the next three months, there's much cooing among the ZinZanni staff about the luxuries of this Costa Mesa locale. "Marble … [Read more...]

Billy Elliot in Spades
The film "Billy Elliot" is a masterpiece of storytelling economy.

Would Single-Gender Transit Be a Good Idea in the U.S.?

Mexico City has launched a new experiment aimed at reducing physical harrassment of women on its crowded transit system: women-only buses and trains.
Single-gender transit isn't really a new idea. Women-only subway cars and buses have appeared in recent years everywhere from India and Brazil to Japan and Egypt.
Is this an idea ripe for importation? I take D.C. public transit very frequently, and I don't really perceive that this is a huge problem. On the other hand, I'm not a woman, so I really can't say.
On The Nation's blog (thanks, DCist!), blogger Jessica Valenti brings up one potential unintended consequence:
What happens when a woman is groped - or worse - in a train car that isn't women-only? Will she be blamed for not taking advantage of the "safe" space provided? (After all, women are all too used to being blamed when it comes to assault, questioned as to why they were out on their own/wearing a short skirt/drinking.)
If we're going to make women safe, let's make them safe everywhere - not just in designated areas.
What do you think? Do women-only buses sound like a good idea for U.S. cities? Or do they merely skirt (ahem) the real issue?

Another familiar face will soon be seen on ABC's "Happy Endings."
Andy Richter, aka Conan O'Brien's right-hand man, will guest star on the sitcom as Roy, father to Penny Hartz (played by "Saturday Night Live" alum Casey Wilson), according to TV Line.
Andy will appear in an episode set to air this spring, which will address the narrow age difference between Roy and Penny (in reality, the actors are only 14 years apart), the blog reported.
Roy will suddenly resurface in Penny's life as her relationship with current on-screen beau Pete (Nick Zano) grows more serious, according to the blog.
Former "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally plays Penny's mom on the series, which also stars Damon Wayans Jr., Eliza Coupe, Adam Pally, Elisha Cuthbert and Zachary Knighton.
"Happy Endings" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Woman killed after car, motorized wheelchair bump
Reeves lives behind the service station in one of a cluster of apartments, Jones said. No one answered a phone number listed for the residence on Wednesday, and a family member declined comment when reached by phone.
The gas station is along busy Gray Highway, and the encounter was so brief that many of the customers pumping gas were not immediately aware of what had just happened in one corner of the lot, Gaudet said.
When police arrived, Hunnicutt was in cardiac arrest and officers began performing CPR. She was taken to the Medical Center of Central Georgia, where the trauma team pronounced her dead at 1:25 p.m., less than a half-hour after the shooting.
The suspect gave a statement to detectives, Gaudet said, but authorities are not revealing what he said. Meanwhile, police were asking for the public's help in identifying additional eyewitnesses.
Hunnicutt is married, and her husband was on the road for his job with a dental lab company when the shooting happened, officials said.
Jones, who has been with the coroner's office for 22 years, said he can't recall a case such as this in the city about 80 miles southeast of Atlanta.
Said Jones: "I've never seen anything like it."
Whisby, the eyewitness, said people did what they could to try to aid the victim.
"It did not do any good, but I hope her family knows that there were some strangers there who were very concerned and trying to help her and praying for her to make it," Whisby said.

Pensacola, Florida, and retired as a Key Account Manager with Pumps Parts & Service. He was very dedicated to his profession and received many accolades,
including Salesman of the Year and Sales Excellence Awards.
His greatest achievement was the love he shared with his wife Mary, his children Pam and Mark , his 3 grandchildren and his entire family.
John enjoyed camping, fishing and sharing stories with friends and family. He and Mary enjoyed their Bible study class and the fellowships they shared with their church family at First Baptist Church in Milton. He will forever be remembered for his crooked kisses, missing toes, his huge jovial smile as he called friends and family by special names he had for each. He will be missed by all who knew him and forever in the hearts of those who loved him. John had a genuine respect for all he came in contact with, believing that every person has value and worth. His faith in God was unwavering, often quoting his favorite Bible verse - Psalms 46:10 - Be still and know that I am God.
He is predeceased by his parents, Raymond John "Sarge" Arnold and Erma Lucille Arnold; brother, Ronald Edward "Eddie" Arnold, Sr.; grandparents, Charlie Wolfe and Lula Alvin (Campbell) Wolfe; many friends, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 40 years, Mary F. Arnold; his children, Mark (Andrea) Burns and grandsons Ryan and Adam, Pam (Steve) Stewart and granddaughter Chelsey Peterson; a brother, Raymond Glenn (Kay) Arnold;
and sister, Janet K. Arnold.
Family will receive friends from 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at the Lewis Funeral Home Milton Chapel.
Funeral services will be at 1:00p.m. Friday, January 18, 2013 at First Baptist Church of Milton with Dr. David Spencer, officiating. Interment will follow in Serenity Gardens Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Milton Covenant Hospice or First Baptist Church, Milton, Florida.

text: DRUM Collection: Kinesiology Theses and Dissertations http://hdl.handle.net/1903/2784 2015-07-05T11:34:53Z MECHANISMS OF GAZE STABILITY DURING WALKING: BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES RELATING GAZE STABILITY TO OSCILLOPSIA http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16474 Title: MECHANISMS OF GAZE STABILITY DURING WALKING: BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES RELATING GAZE STABILITY TO OSCILLOPSIA Authors: Anson, Eric Abstract: Visual sensory input plays a significant role in maintaining upright posture during walking. Visual input contributes to control of head, trunk, and leg motion during walking to facilitate interaction with and avoidance of objects and individuals in the environment. The vestibular system contributes to postural control during walking and also to stabilization of the eyes during head motion which may allow for more accurate use of visual information. This dissertation reports the findings of five experiments which explore how the nervous system uses vision to control upright posture during walking and also whether the act of walking contributes to gaze stability for individuals with severe vestibular loss. In the first experiment, continuous oscillatory visual scene motion was used to probe how the use of visual input changes from standing to walking and also to determine whether the trunk motion response to visual motion was the same in the medio-lateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) directions. In the second experiment, visual feedback (VFB) regarding the approximate center of mass position in the ML and AP directions was used to demonstrate that ML path stability was enhanced by concurrent visual feedback for young and older adults. In the third experiment, adults with vestibular loss and healthy adults were both able to use VFB during treadmill walking to enhance ML path stability and also to separately modify their trunk orientation to vertical. The final two experiments investigated whether gaze stability was enhanced during treadmill walking compared to passive replication of sagittal plane walking head motion (seated walking) for individuals with severe vestibular loss. Individuals with severe bilateral vestibular hypofunction displayed appropriately timed eye movements which compensated for head motion during active walking compared to seated walking. Timing information from the task of active walking may have contributed to enhancement of gaze stability that was better than predictions from passive head motion. This dissertation demonstrates: 1) the importance of visual sensory input for postural control during walking; 2) that visual information can be leveraged to modify trunk and whole body walking behavior; and 3) that the nervous system may leverage intrinsic timing information during active walking to enhance gaze stability in the presence of severe vestibular disease. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z The Effect of a 10 day Cessation of Training in Older Endurance Athletes on Pathological Production of Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species Levels in Circulating Angiogenic Cells http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16468 Title: The Effect of a 10 day Cessation of Training in Older Endurance Athletes on Pathological Production of Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species Levels in Circulating Angiogenic Cells Authors: Corrigan, Kelsey J. Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious disease, and is the leading cause of death in the United States. Aging and physical inactivity are two well-established risk factors for CVD. Previous research has identified circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) as a novel risk factor for CVD. CAC number and function are affected by aging and exercise. Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are intracellular compounds which can affect the health of the vasculature and are also affected by exercise. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is responsible for NO production within the endothelium, and eNOS "coupling" is a phenomenon that plays a role in the balance between production of ROS and NO. The literature also indicates that NO can be produced in either a pathological or physiological capacity depending on which isoform of NOS produces it. NO and ROS have been previously measured in CACs and have been shown to affect in vivo and in vitro outcomes related to vascular function. Although NO, ROS, and CACs have all been studied in relation to exercise, no previous studies have examined how the cessation of training in older endurance-trained athletes affects these intra-cellular compounds through the eNOS-coupling pathway. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a 10-day cessation of exercise training in older endurance-trained athletes on ROS, NO and the eNOS-coupling pathway in CD34+ cells. NO and ROS were measured in isolated fresh CD34+ cells using fluorescent dye assays. The mRNA expression of genes involved in the eNOS-coupling pathway (endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH1)) were measured using semi-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (Semi-qt PCR). Flow mediated dilation was measured to gain information about endothelial function. No significant differences were detected after the cessation of training in CD34+ intracellular NO or ROS levels. Flow mediated dilation (FMD) also did not change significantly following cessation of training. eNOS mRNA expression was significantly lower following cessation of training but iNOS, DHFR, and GTPCH1 did not change. Taking into consideration the current literature, we expected to see changes in all of the above variables with the cessation of exercise training. There were several limitations present in our study, which could have affected our outcomes. Research in this area, specifically the eNOS coupling pathway, is still very new and this study shows that additional research is still needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in CACs. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Fitness Philanthropy, Failed States, and Physical Cultural Fissures: The Problem of Addressing "Urban" Youth in Baltimore http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16208 Title: Fitness Philanthropy, Failed States, and Physical Cultural Fissures: The Problem of Addressing "Urban" Youth in Baltimore Authors: Mower, Ronald Lee Abstract: Situated within a severely polarized Baltimore City, this dissertation explores the increasing role of voluntary organizations in addressing health disparities and various "crises" commonly associated with the "urban" environment (juvenile delinquency, crime, poverty, and ill-health). Given renowned cultural geographer, David Harvey's (2001) proclamation that Baltimore is a city "emblematic of the processes that have moulded cities under US capitalism" (p. 7), the rise of privatized voluntarism reflects a distinct shifting of responsibility inherent to neoliberalization processes. The failures of the state in providing adequate public resources for physical activity and health for example, has resulted in more private citizens deploying their educational and professional expertise, wealth and spare time, and creative ambitions to intervene in ways they deem most appropriate. Amidst an effort to map the broad structures of racial and class inequality shaping Baltimore's divisive environments, the specific focus of this project entailed a close ethnographic engagement with one non-profit organization that sought to reform the health and fitness lifestyles of "at-risk" and underserved African American youth between 2008 and 2012. As a participant observer, I examined the everyday operation of fitness pedagogies, disciplinary structures, and power relations between wealthy, white philanthropists and middle class fitness professionals ("faculty"), and the underserved working class black youth ("students") they attempted to instruct about fitness and health. Employing what Wolcott (2008) defined as the ethnographic methods of experiencing and inquiring, I observed and spoke with people concerning their perceptions of fitness and health, and their experiences within the program. I also examined programmatic documents from several fitness-based non-profit organizations across Baltimore. Issues of white privilege, philanthropic intent, colormuteness, and the normalization of neoliberal healthism emerged as key findings. As an embodied participant, I also encountered scenarios that challenged my habitual ability to cross the racial and class boundaries typified by the positionalities and lived experience of faculty and students. Having been reared in, and routinely experienced, such divisions in my own life, the performative politics of embodiment became an important point of analysis to make sense of my cultural "betweenness" (England, 1994), and the role that self-reflexive writing practices played during fieldwork. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z 'Right to the Active City': Public Recreation and Urban Governance in Baltimore http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16189 Title: 'Right to the Active City': Public Recreation and Urban Governance in Baltimore Authors: Bustad, Jacob Abstract: Since the inception of the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks (BCRP) in 1940, public recreation in Baltimore has continued to be restructured in relation to changing modes of urban governance, in particular in regards to the city's network of recreation centers. More recently, the reorganization of recreation resulted in the 2011 Mayor's Recreation Center Task Force plan, which proposed the further reformation of the department and changes to the provision and distribution of recreation centers and recreational services. This dissertation - entitled Right to the Active City: Public Recreation and Urban Governance in Baltimore - draws from a diverse and reflexive theoretical and methodological approach in exploring the historical and contemporary forms, practices and experiences of public recreation in Baltimore, specifically focusing on the city's recreation centers as social and spatial manifestations of the processes of urban governance. In seeking to engage and analyze the individuals, institutions, spaces and practices of urban public recreation, the primary goals of this research are: 1) to examine the intersection of historical and current formations of recreation policy and broader processes of urban governance, including the implications of these changing arrangements for the localized experiences of public recreation; 2) to analyze the spaces of public recreation, in particular the changing forms and practices of planning and design that is embedded within a shift between different `recreation center' models; 3) to draw out and describe the often complex and contradictory inter-relationships between the City government, BCRP, community and non-profit groups and city residents, focusing on the associations that actively construct and constitute an emergent form of public recreation; and 4) to provide a nuanced research approach that both contributes to relevant scholarly fields, including public health, kinesiology, sociology, urban studies and physical cultural studies, and simultaneously seeks to promote the co-production of research that can be engaged by and with those involved in the processes of public recreation. In short, this research attempts to better grasp the lived experiences of the active urban body and urban physical cultures, through an analysis of the planning and provision of recreational sites, services and opportunities in a specific postindustrial metropolis. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

The Great Plains Narrow-mouthed Toad or Western Narrow-mouthed Toad (Gastrophryne olivacea) is a species of microhylid frog. They are found throughout much of the south central United States from the state of Nebraska south through Texas, and into northern Mexico. Though not a true toad, they are often referred to as toads, because they are terrestrial.
