Test 1: 4.3u Wii, softmodded using SSBB Exploit. Everything went fine, used r416 WiiFlow, but it would occasionally freeze, give errors, and do strange things after coming back to the WiiFlow Menu from a game. It's my Wii so i didn't pay much attention to it. few extra seconds getting to the menu didn't hurt me.
Test 2: 4.1 Wii, was already softmodded, so i just upated the IOS and installed the rest of the WADs mentioned in the guide. It never froze, no problems, no strange things.
So I concluded that by updated the IOS from the guide, it somehow affected it. SO, i updated the IOS on my own Wii, that was originall 4.3u. As you know the guide mentions there's no need to update them. But from today, I found out it doesn't hurt to at least run the update for the IOS even if on 4.3u already.
Hope this information helps others.

I'm outputting text with XSLT. I need to count the number of lines of each section and write it out to my output file. How this could be done?
My output is like this:
HDR+aaa:bbb' AAA+78901234567890+String1:String2' BBB+123+String' CCC+321:1212' DDD+112211' DDD+121122' XXX+number_of_records+78901234567890' AAA+1234567890+String1:String2' BBB+123+String' CCC+321:1212' DDD+1212:2121' BBB+123+String' BBB+122+String' CCC+String' XXX+number_of_records+1234567890'
The number_of_records should contain number of lines from AAA to XXX including both lines. In the first section the number of lines should be 6 and in the second message it should be 8. The first and the last line of each section will share the same unique ID-number.
The number of lines cannot be counted from source since there is so much processing inside XSLT.

Roller Brushes
The roller brush of your vacuum cleaner sweeps dirt and debris off your floors. The bristles of the brush can be worn down over the period of time. This will prevent the brush from collecting all the dust and grime from the carpets and bare floors. The roller brush can be replaced if they are damaged or the bristles are worn out.
How to increase the life span of a roller brush
•The longetivity of the vacuum brush depends on how well you take care of it. The vacuum must be dusted and cleaned once in a while.
•Unfasten the faceplate over the brush bar and remove the plastic faceplate. Using a pair of scissors cut the threads and hair that are entangled around the brush bar.
•Using a rag wipe the dust and debris from the brush bar.
•Replace the faceplate and tighten the fasteners before using the vacuum.
Roller brushes of all the leading brands are available at GoVacuum.com. This is a place which offers replacements and the equipments at a bargain price. We also offer a world class customer service.

Koblenz Brush Roller with Bearing$27.42
"Did you know that the brush roller in your vacuum is a vital part? It rotates and vibrates against the surface you are cleaning – be it the floor or carpets. To keep it working well, you need to clean it on a regular basis, and when it is time, replace it as well. Buy this Koblenz Brush Roller with bearing and replace the essential part that periodically needs a check and replacement. Remember that the roller on your Koblenz system needs to turn freely. Cut any obstruction that you find, but if you find that the damage is beyond repair, we recommend you change the brush roller immediately.

Are we leaving the arts out of journalism?
Like most journalists, I look to reports like the recently released Tow Center report on the changing nature of the field for guidance, for ways of thinking about what I do. But what I find is that what I do as a critic is increasingly marginalized or ignored by such studies.
In the thousands of words in the report from Tow, based at the Columbia School of Journalism and written by some of the finest minds in the field, there is a glaring void. There is no real consideration of cultural dialogue and criticism, perhaps the fastest shrinking segment of mainstream media today. Journalism worth doing is defined as investigative, watchdog journalism, the stories that somebody, somewhere doesn't want written. I would agree that this is the core of good journalism. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

Sequel doesn't bother trying to be inventive — or interesting
When a movie's official website is called smurfhappens.com, it might be considered a fair warning about its quality. Actually, "The Smurfs 2" is not that bad, but it's definitely not going to rise to the top of the summer kids-movie heap.
In this sequel to 2011's "The Smurfs," opening in theaters Wednesday, Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) is questioning her identity and worrying she will turn back into the evil anti-Smurf she was created to be by the wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria). »Read Full Article(1)

'This Town' depicts Paul Ryan as shrewd, with a sense of humor
'This Town' (Blue Rider Press), Mark Leibovich's new book on the clubby, clannish ecosystem of Washington, skewers many self-important political, lobbyist and media figures. But the Wisconsinite who figures most prominently in the book, former vice-presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, gets off lightly. (Harry Reid, Trent Lott and Politico, to name just three, do not get off so easily.) »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Does Journal Broadcast blackout hinge on Time Warner negotiations with CBS?
As the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), on Time Warner Cable approaches its first-week anniversary, I submit the possible reason:
The cable company is distracted — perhaps obsessed — with first reaching an agreement in its similar dispute with CBS network-owned and -operated stations. »Read Full Blog Post(15)

Stay Warm This Season With Plenty of Tights
As the weather continues to grow colder, the key to any great outfit is layering and the best place to start layering is with tights! Pretty Polly and Aristoc have some great tights this season to help you stay warm and cosy.
For those bitter cold days where all you want to do is cover yourself with a soft blanket and drink a steaming cup of hot chocolate, it is necessary to invest in some wool tights. Not only will they keep you warm, but they will
also keep you extremely cosy. Pretty Polly's 150 Denier Angora Blend Opaque Tights and Aristoc's Cashmere Blend 100 Denier Tights are great contenders if you're in the market for some wool tights this season. Wool tights are extremely versatile and are perfect for wearing with a dress, skirts or shorts for Autumn and Winter.
If you want to add a little sophistication to your look while still keeping warm, textured tights are a great way to liven up your outfit. Textured tights are great for adding more conservative coverage under your favourite black mini-dress. For the winter, cable-knit tights are a must have. We suggest Pretty Polly Tangled Cable Tights to keep warm and look chic all at the same time. With 100 denier, you are sure to stay warm and the cable knit pattern gives off a bold look. Pair with a cute winter coat to get the perfect look this season!
With winter comes an assortment of greys and blacks, so why not brighten up your look this season with some fun coloured tights! If they can pull it off in Gossip Girl so can you! Try out Pretty Polly's 60 Denier Lustre Opaques in red currant or ink to add a pop of colour to your winter look. If you're feeling bold, try colour blocking by pairing your coloured tights with a brightly coloured overcoat.
No matter what style you choose to stay cosy and fashionable this season, make sure to always have an extra pair of tights on hand to keep you warm. Check out all of the great wool and extra thick tights MyTights has to offer!

Last week I was chatting with my friend who pointed out that cross-stitch is kind of a dying art. These are the important things we contemplate.
"Maybe older women do cross-stitch a bunch?" I suggested as a feeble attempt to defend our beloved cross-stitch hobby.
"There's lots of 'hip' cross-stitch art you can buy online I think?" she piped in.
The truth is, cross-stitch may not be our craft of choice when we think "hip", "modern" or even relevant interior design. I refuse, however, to believe that cross-stitch doesn't have something to offer when it comes to home decor.
I saw our little chat about cross-stitch as a challenge to be accepted! Here is what I came up with — (drumroll now) — A cross-stitch painting using a cross-stitch pattern! This tutorial will teach you how to take your old cross-stitch patterns and turn them into artwork for your home!

The Rangers preseason means nothing. Bring on Thursday. In another one sided preseason game, the Rangers were out of luck in Las Vegas as they lost 5-1 to the LA Kings including conceding the first goal inside 15 seconds. Jon Quick made 22 saves while the Kings scored two goals on the powerplay. On a night of few bright spots, JT Miller continued to play catch up after missing preseason time as he scored the Rangers lone goal. Given his pro experience and strong play in the preseason Miller is a strong candidate to be one of the kids to stick around to start the season. At the very least Miller has made plays been noticeable and used his body effectively. The two goals in three games are almost a bonus. Don't draw too many conclusions from the preseason. The Rangers have had a horrible preseason but have suffered from the absence of key players, multiple injuries, incorporating a new system all the while looking at a host of young prospects that will give the organisation great ins...

About the Author
Publisher Description
These captivating essays by Pope Benedict XVI deal with various issues facing the Church in the world today, including what unites and divides denominations, liturgy and sacred music, peace and justice in crisis, and interreligious dialogue and Jewish-Christian relations.
As David Schindler notes in his introduction, "Cardinal Ratzinger Pope Benedict XVI rarely writes on any churchly matter that does not manifest its implications for man and culture, and vice versa. Indeed, this indissoluble linking is one of the main distinguishing features of his theology." This volume on the Church is to be followed by two others from Pope Benedict on, respectively, the themes of anthropology and theological renewal.

We at Patriots Life are giving out our post-season awards. Previously, we revealed the New England Patriots 2012 MVP, and now we reveal the Offensive Player of the Year. And the award goes to... It's Running Back Stevan Ridley!With the number one offense in the NFL, there were obviously a lot of contenders. Wes Welker had another Wes Welker year, the tight ends put up great numbers as well. And obviously you can't miss out the outstanding job the offensive lineman did.However, the development of Ridley has meant that the offense has become a completely different machine to what it was last season, and in a good way. Ridley has given us what we were missing last season. An every down back that could pick up solid numbers between the tackles, and break big runs on the outside. In an offense with Tom Brady in it, he was still able to pick up over 1,200 yards, and he gave great production in the red zone for loads of touchdowns.But it's not just the numbers that make Ridley the Offen...

Those kinds of middling poll numbers are making it politically difficult to support a credit limit deal.
"No one wants to deal with this and would like to 'kick the can down the road' yet again and hope to get re-elected before it blows up," said Bill Dunkelberg, chief economist at the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
Those opposing an expansion of the credit limit have cast aside the warnings from Treasury Secretary Geithner of "catastrophic economic consequences."
"A broad range of government payments would have to be stopped, limited or delayed, including military salaries, Social Security and Medicare payments, interest on debt, unemployment benefits and tax refunds," wrote Geithner in a letter to Congressional leaders on May 2.
It's that interest on the debt which has most economists worried. The "full faith and credit" of the United States has been an unquestioned cornerstone for global finance -- leading U.S. Treasuries to be a safe haven in times of trouble because Uncle Sam has never missed a payment.
The risks are high enough that 62 business groups sent congressional leaders a plea to address the debt limit.
"Raising the statutory debt limit is critical to ensuring global investors' confidence in the creditworthiness of the United States," said the letter signed by the Business Roundtable, National Retail Federation and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others. "With economic growth slowly picking up, we cannot afford to jeopardize that growth with the massive spike in borrowing costs that would result if we defaulted on our obligations."
The stakes, while disputed by the Tea Party, are so high that most economists believe there will be action before the U.S. misses any debt payments.
"We have faced debt limits before and have yet to default," said Martin Regalia, chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "As we approach the limit, we may start to see some increases in interest rates and or declines in the dollar, but I do not think that such movements will be large, unless the debt limit was reached and a default occurred."
Should default occur, it is those higher interest rates that would likely have the biggest economic impact. Like a consumer who misses a credit card payment, Uncle Sam would see his borrowing rates increase substantially as buyers of government bonds priced-in the possibility that they wouldn't be repaid.
That could lead to trillions of dollars in extra interest costs in the coming decades and broader economic effects for consumers.
"If there is not a compromise by the August deadline, the result would be a slowdown in government operations which would negatively affect economic growth," said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. "In addition, there would be increased uncertainty premiums, slower capital goods orders in the manufacturing sector, and a slower pace of employment growth. The effect would be felt in several parts of the U.S. economy."

Loudeye, Microsoft team on music store

Apple's music strikes a chordApril 30, 2003
Loudeye grooves with YahooApril 24, 2002
Seattle-based Loudeye and the software giant said Monday that they will work together to handle the infrastructure and distribution for online music services branded by other companies that are looking to sell songs online or to enter the digital media business in some other way.
Loudeye's digital music services, which include its Digital Music Store and iRadio Service that contains 100 preprogrammed music channels, are based on Microsoft's Windows Media 9 Series technology. Early customers of the service include AT&T Wireless and Gibson Audio, a division of Gibson Guitars.
"The problem for companies that want to launch a digital media service with their own brand is that it's very expensive," said Loudeye Chief Executive Officer Jeff Cavins. "We'll charge them a fraction of the cost of what it would take to build it themselves."
Loudeye's plan highlights the growing presence of legal downloadable music, just eight months after Apple launched its iTunes song store.
Many, if not most, of the large online shopping or entertainment destinations have announced plans to offer their own stores. In addition to Apple's launch of a Windows version of its store, Buy.com founder Scott Blum has created BuyMusic.com, Roxio has launched Napster 2.0, Musicmatch has turned its jukebox and radio service into a song store, and subscription service MusicNow has added a store.
Microsoft also has said it will enter the market next year. Wal-Mart Stores is expected to launch a store later this month or early next year. Computer makers Dell and Hewlett-Packard are co-branding other companies' services.
However, the profit potential for these services remains dim. Apple has stated that it does not make money from iTunes, relying instead on the service's ability to drive demand for its iPod digital music player. Other industry executives have said that profits are possible, even if they are razor-thin.
Loudeye's Cavins said there is room for an intermediary in the business despite the tiny profit margins. His company is looking for customers who are interested in digital music distribution as a promotional tool for another product or service, rather than as a standalone business, he said.
"There are a lot of companies that are not your usual suspects that will pay to have services that will drive cross promotion," Cavins said. "What it comes down to is that there are companies that are learning that using digital media is a good way to cement a brand."
Neither of the company's initial customers are doing traditional iTunes-like stores. AT&T Wireless will have a service that will sell ring tones and music tracks that can be downloaded to a PC. Gibson Audio is creating a line of digital music jukeboxes for the high-end home consumer market.
Loudeye has previously focused on encoding and storing digital music for other services, including iTunes, and providing samples of music for CD sales outlets such as Amazon.com.

Interview with "Quadrophenia: A Way Of Life" author Simon Wells
Thursday, 9th Oct 2014
We speak to British cult film writer Simon Wells (pictured left) about his new book "Quadrophenia: A Way of Life (Inside the Making of Britain's Greatest Youth Film)"
What impact did it make on you the first time that you saw Quadrophenia?
I was mesmerised, confused, enchanted, bewitched. Like many who saw it first time around – overall, it was the energy that totally captivated me. But beyond that, there was a raft of elements that were going on that made it fascinating. In a sense, Quadrophenia is a classic "Boy meets girl loses girl" type of film – a bit like West Side Story meets Saturday Night Fever – but the great thing was it was OUR story – a believable British film – one of very few.
Why do you think it has earned such a special place in the hearts of so many people over the last 35 years?
It's the template for a generation; a blueprint for living. It's a fierce reflection of youth – and that's at the core of its appeal for me. That time period of 16-19 has a golden glow around it for many – and that is a time many of us reference as the most exciting period of our life. I haven't heard anyone say, "I remember how great it was to be 27 or 35" No – it's that time as teenagers that many of us remember as a slightly whacky period, and Quadrophenia is all about that.
Jimmy's choice of Fred Perry Shirt and parka made it very easy for the kids on the street to emulate the leading character's style. Do you think that helped people feel connected with the film?
Fred Perry like Quadrophenia never goes out of style – it was a wise choice of apparel – and ensures that the film will look eternally cool. I am not surprised Fred Perry formed a large part of Jimmy's uniform during the film.
Quadrophenia has almost become the definitive historical document of Mod culture in Britain. Do you think of Quadrophenia as a second hand account of 1960s British youth subculture, or more as a first hand artefact of the 78-81 Mod revival?
It's a good question and the answer is that it is actually a bit of both. If it was a straight reflection of 1960s life – it would fail – as it carries much of the fury of the late 70s Punk attitude. So welded together it is a very powerful, believable document.
What was the most surprising fact you un-earthed whilst researching the book?
In my researches I came across the story of a young Mod who actually fell to his death over a Brighton cliff in 1964 following the riots. It fascinated me, and I was intrigued to whether it inspired the album. Pete Townshend relayed to me that it did not, and he was surprised that it had happened - but then I found out that the boy's brother went onto work for The Who and was a close friend of Townshend. So, it's incredible – and if people are interested, the whole story is on a blog here. http://quadropheniaslostmod.blogspot.co.uk/
You've written extensively about cult British cinema, including other iconic films such as 'Get Carter', and 'A Clockwork Orange'. Do you think there have been any true Brit cult classics since Quadrophenia?
Very few to be honest – I would say Meantime (also starring Phil Daniels) is a bona fide British cult film, but few have seen it and it hasn't got the romance of Quadrophenia. I wince when I hear films that are made in the style of a "cult" film because it doesn't really happen that way – and with the internet, will probably never happen again in the future. Trainspotting and Withnail & I for me are probably the most famous cult films since Quadrophenia. While Trainspotting borrows heavily from Quadrophenia in terms of gang mentality and energy, Withnail and I is a bona fide cult object – the fanaticism to the film is very similar to those who follow Quadrophenia, and has endured generation after generation.
There's been a lot of speculation in the last 35 years about the ending of Quadrophenia. Where do you think Jimmy Cooper is today?
Ha ha! What a great question. I think Jimmy is probably in a council flat – probably somewhere on the south coast - in his late sixties. He probably fathered a few kids in his time – not least the one with Steph! I sort of imagine life has been hard for him, and that he was unemployed a lot. In his quieter, reflective moments – he probably looks back on his time on the Mod trail – with great fondness – as we all do!
You can order Simon Wells' "Quadrophenia: A Way of Life" from Countdown Books, along with their other excellent titles dealing with British Subcultures of the Twentieth Century.

The U.S. Pop Music Scene A Conversation with Gary Burton Michael J. Bandler Q: You came along about a generation ago. How would you compare the young musicians of that era with the talent you see these days at Berklee and elsewhere? A: The biggest difference is education, in that the jazz and pop musicians of the Sixties, when I was starting my career, were the very first ones to have a chance to go to music college and learn more about music. The majority of the players were still self - taught, or intuitive, and learned from their experiences on the job more than in an organized academic setting. That began to change by the Seventies, and into the Eighties. Now it's far more common for young up - and - coming musicians to go to school somewhere and learn a lot more about music of different types, and music history, and the nuts and bolts of music, which makes them capable of more versatility and more sophistication in their work. Q: How has Berklee responded to the pop evolution, or revolution? A: The original concept of the school, when it was founded in the late Forties, was to provide practical real - life experience and training for musicians who were likely to work in the commercial music industry, which at that time meant mostly jazz - based music that was used in television and in [advertising] jingles, as well as in concerts. That broadened over the years as other kinds of popular music got a foothold. Starting in the late Sixties and into the Seventies, we started adding courses with rock music styles and increased the offerings as the years went by, and added a major program for recording and for synthesizers, because that also was becoming more popular. We saw our enrollment for vocalists mushroom greatly because there was more emphasis on singers. So we've essentially followed, and tried to offer the best of what we could in each of these areas that have become more prominent as the music business has evolved. Q: In the past, jazz, blues and country all came out of the roots of black society and Appalachia. A: But in addition, there are influences from farther away. We've become much more globally aware of other kinds of music. We even have a whole genre called "world music" that's sort of a mix of ethnic music adapted to our modern western styles. Q: World music takes in a lot. I don't think it even includes the Latin sound. A: No - that's its own category. But it includes African, Indian, Asian, Greek - any ethnic music that isn't big enough to have its own category. Klezmer (a pop contemporary sound of East European derivation), for example, is about to get its own category. Latin music started working its way in even as early as the Forties and Fifties in jazz. Tito Puente and Dizzy Gillespie and George Shearing started adding Latin players, and gradually, more and more Latin music was available. Also, the Latin population of the United States increased, and that provided support. There was an audience for it. So now, given a higher level of communication among cultures, and a greater number of Latin citizens in the country, there's an expanded base of popular support for various kinds of Latin music. It even has its own genres within it. Q: Arguably, jazz has been the most popular form of American music overseas. A: That's right. Q: Does it have any rivals for that audience today? A: American pop music is steadily gaining fans overseas. Q: How do you define "pop music"? A: Music made by American artists in the popular field. It doesn't matter whether it's hip - hop or rap or whatever - rap less so because it depends so much on words. It's partly to do with celebrity - the teenager in another country hears the news, and reads about Michael Jackson or Madonna and the others who are on MTV [a television cable channel devoted to popular music] regularly, and have a pretty substantial following around the world. It's as much an American cultural interest as it is a specific music style. I think that's part of why jazz has been interesting worldwide. It's perceived as a very American kind of thing. People who are curious about the United States feel that jazz somehow tells them something about us. Q: Is jazz on the decline? A: No. Q: What about the jazz radio stations? A: Those are on the decline. The jazz clubs went through their period of decline about a decade ago and now have been sort of steady since then. But as radio stations have become increasingly valuable commercially, no station can afford to do alternative kinds of music, such as classical or jazz. So, there are also very few classical stations. Radio, unfortunately, is becoming all the same - with various kinds of rock and popular music that doesn't offer the range or variety radio used to. But you still find jazz recordings, and sales have been steady. And new young artists seem to be discovered all the time. In fact, the complaint in the jazz field is often that the new young artists get more attention than the more established artists, who may be seen as not getting as much attention and time in the spotlight as they would deserve. Record companies are all hoping to find the next big star, the next Miles Davis, the next jazz artist who's going to be more than just a modest seller of records. There is certainly a substantial audience for jazz. Ironically, the percentage of the entire record business for jazz and classical is about equal - about four percent for each. But it's more evenly distributed in the jazz field among a wider number of artists. Q: What about blues - a legendary form of music? A: It's the root of a lot of music - jazz, different kinds of popular music certainly can trace influences back to more traditional blues, from the time blues started being available to, say, the Bob Dylan growing up in Minneapolis [Minnesota]. He was able to hear it on records, and have it as an influence on his own music. I think it was the rock musicians of the Sixties - other than Elvis Presley - who were the first to really be influenced by blues. The Sixties was, in a sense, rock's first golden decade of acceptance. It had always been primarily teenager's music. It was not given any attention by the adult population until the Sixties, and then suddenly you had artists like the Beatles and Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead who were redefining the audience for rock music. Q: If rock in the Fifties was mostly embraced by teenagers, what can you tell me about the types of music being embraced by teens today? A: I have two teenagers myself. I watch what they listen to out of curiosity. I will say that I don't understand it. It may be because I'm getting older. I think the brand of rock music loosely termed "alternative" is the hot phenomenon at the moment. I'm not sure exactly what defines it. My son has mentioned "ska." He played me a record with a ska band. It's an interesting mixture of rock with some jazz influences, of all things. Q: What about grunge, punk, and so on? A: Punk was around even in the Seventies. It was the first installment of alternative rock. It was more rebellious. The lyrics were more edgy. Little did anyone know that the lyrics of rap music were going to go to another level. Grunge came from Seattle. The musicians there needed a name for the emerging group of players there. Somehow, grunge became the term. Q: Austin [Texas] has a role to play in music nowadays. A: Oh, yes - some rock, some jazz, but mostly blues. That was very much a result of the music festivals put on by public radio and public television down there, and broadcasting from there. Q: Talk for a moment about the development of the urban sound - which might include rap and hip - hop and Motown, but also Austin and Seattle. A: I think you named the styles I would identify as urban. Certainly Motown was the first urban music. Blues was before that, but it wasn't considered urban. It was country. Motown had that city sophistication to it, style to it, that under the general umbrella of R&B [rhythm and blues], went on to eventually turn into what is now hip - hop and rap. I think most so - called urban music is identified with a black influence and style. Q: While we're on the subject of urban music, have lyrics always had the significance, the prominence, the contentiousness that they have today in pop music? A: No. There was always somebody who was being the "bad boy" on the rock scene - Elvis in his day, shaking his hips and using suggestive lyrics, versus the music for the bubble gummers, talking about typical love stories in their lyrics. That persisted through the Sixties. In the Seventies, there were always some artists who were singing very nice, pretty songs, and then there were always some others who were hard - edged, with more than a hint of violence or sexuality. The question has always been, how obvious do you want to be with it? The whole essence of rock 'n' roll, of course, is that there's a strong sexual undertone to it from the beginning - and of course there was to jazz as well. There was the equivalent in earlier generations. Cole Porter's song, "Love For Sale," was banned for years. There was Josephine Baker in the Twenties, who was considered far too risque for audiences of her time, and she had to move to Paris in order to have a career. Today, though, as with everything, it always seems to be taken to another level. Each generation needs to somehow increase the shock value in order to express itself and stand out from the crowd. So we look at what goes on today and are appalled by the language, but in fact it's a trend that's been going on throughout the century. It's an evolutionary phenomenon. Q: Rap, as you sometimes hear it through an open car window or blasting out of a boom box, seems to have value not for any music, but for the lyrics and the percussive background. A: You have to assume that these persons in the next car or on the street are doing this not for their own enjoyment. They're performing. They're sending out a message, an image. They want to be noticed. It's more important for us to hear them listening. I think that one of the reasons that there's so little music to rap is that the music isn't the point. It's almost like the more annoying it is, the more attention - getting, the better. But the whole phenomenon, I suppose, will be analyzed and written about from a sociological point of view for a long time. One of the real ironies of it is that the main audience for rap is suburban white teenage boys. Q: Two components of pop music that, to my mind, virtually didn't exist a decade or two ago are New Age and Christian Contemporary - which is well - crafted popular music with non - secular themes. Albums have become hits on the Christian, country and pop charts. The number of albums of Christian music in 1997 was 44 million, compared to 33 million the year before. What sparked this rise? A: Both have to do with style, psychology and spirituality. In the case of Christian Contemporary, it came about because the Christian religion became associated with the media in this past decade or two. It went from something in church on Sunday to being on television seven days a week. Some of the most powerful religious figures who have emerged are, more and more, television celebrities. Gradually, more performers were added to the mix for audiences who were more used to hearing pop and rock music than European choral music. That opened the door to any number of artists deciding it was the right combination for them, musically and message - wise. Q: And New Age? A: In an earlier day, it would have been called mood music. Most musicians disdain it, because there's very little "there" there. That's not the same as minimalism, like Steve Reich or John Adams. New Age music tends to be much less in terms of intelligent content. In fact, the whole purpose is to not really engage you too much. It's for relaxation without necessarily thinking, something quite innocuous. Musicians are offended by this because we think music should engage you. A lot of things are on the borderline between world music and New Age, depending on how rhythmic or complex it is. If it's simple, it tends to be considered New Age. If it's busier and louder and more ethnic, then it's considered world music. But the lines are fuzzy. Q: Do these categories reach audiences overseas? A: I doubt it. New Age might, a little bit. Don't forget, many countries have their own versions of innocuous local pop music that may be playing on the national radio stations, and the more serious listeners will be listening to either classical music or jazz or major pop artists like Sting or Paul Simon. Q: We didn't talk about artists like these. A: It's funny. For the first time, there's a senior citizen rock category. Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Arlo Guthrie. They're still identified as making youthful music. The ones we consider icons have been around for 30 years. They're all highly developed in their craft and in their experience, and have a whole list of lifetime releases of records that define their music. They're huge influences overseas, more so, in fact, than new artists who have only one record out. Even if that one record is a big hit, it's the more established star who probably has the broader influence. Q: It's true in country, too - people like George Strait and Reba McIntire. A: That's right. Q: And you could fairly include Barbra Streisand in the group. She's been around for 35 years, and has a huge following, and continues to keep going. A: Right. There's this thing of becoming a household name. In the jazz field, you ask the non - jazz fan whether he knows anything about jazz, and he's likely to mention Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. The name in country music that most would identify with is Hank Williams, and he's been dead for years. But he's written so many songs that have endured. Q: Where does the new technology play a role in pop music? A: In some music, a lot - for instance, the sounds coming out of the car next to you. People who are not even musicians, have no idea how music works and what it's all about, are doing the equivalent of making a meal out of frozen entrees by putting them in the microwave. The end result is not so much how it's made, but the effect it has on the listener. If it works, then it's hard to fault how the person went about it, even if it doesn't seem to be very traditional or follow the approach that we tend to teach our music students. So technology has had a big influence in that regard. It has had a more subtle and general influence in the sense that recording is easier than it used to be. It's more affordable, effective and sophisticated. Q: What can you say about the crossover phenomenon, as it exists throughout contemporary music? A: I would point out that our cultural influences are much more readily available, and are bumping into each other a lot. We're not heading toward one big homogeneous style. What we are seeing are interesting meetings of different influences in projects here and there. The motivations are different, depending on the artist. I've done a lot of non - jazz projects. I have a tango record out at the moment. It's not because I thought there was a huge market for tango music. I happen to have a big interest in it. So people get into these projects for a variety of reasons - politically - or business - oriented or simply artistically - oriented. Q: In terms of the elements that mark pop music's lyrics and sound - there are social, psychological, emotional, sensual, intellectual. It's probably all of those. A: Yes. Music is one of the most basic experiences for human beings. We're the only animal that reacts to music that I'm aware of. You can put on a record with a driving beat, and you're sitting in the living room, and your body is now moving with it. You look down at the family dog who's lying on the couch next to you, and it's totally unaware that there's a beat going on. It doesn't feel that rhythm. It doesn't want to move with it. There's no sense of wanting to synchronize with it. It's a uniquely human thing, a fantastic, intuitive language. To me it doesn't matter if it's classical or pop or Japanese. It has that capability, and it reaches us not only on the subliminal level, but also communicates culturally. Q: Is there such a thing as an American sound in music? A: Yes. It's no one thing, just like there's no one European sound - there's French classical music, German, Italian, opera, string quartets. But nonetheless there are certain elements that are frequently there, and a certain kind of sensibility to it that you sort of identify as American pop - a style that's there even though it's very hard to describe it in words. There's diversity, a freshness, and that unique influence that has been at the root of American pop and jazz - which is blues. Even though it's highly evolved into other strains, that presence still sets American pop apart from the music of other countries. Q: Do you see any trends on the horizon in pop music? A: I don't. People ask me that about jazz all the time - where it's headed. Now that jazz and pop music have become so diversified, there's no telling. There used to be one "hit parade," one "top ten." Now there are so many different categories and subcategories, that the name of the game these days is diversity. It's an incredible range of choice, something that suits your mood for any occasion, and any kind of influences that you want to see included. It's great for music, and great for the listener. U.S. Society & Values USIA Eletronic Journal, Vol.3, No.1, June 1998 Popular music in the United States today is a multifaceted mosaic that challenges simple description.

Based on this week's international trade reports, there's continued evidence that new domestic energy production is a bright spot in the U.S. economic recovery. Oil imports are down, domestic production is up, and it's becoming cheaper to power our economy. But what gets lost in this broader success story are questions about whether we have the right tools to move all this newfound energy.
That makes the recent domestic energy boom the perfect time to revisit whether our infrastructure is prepared for our evolving energy markets.
Throughout the United States, the rise in domestic production creates new trading partners for our metropolitan energy consumers. For example, how often did metro areas trade with Western North Dakota in the 1990s? But today, gas stations across the country represent an economic connection between the booming North Dakota economy and large metro areas. A similar story is taking place throughout the country, ranging from energy producers in Pennsylvania to those in Texas. The result is stronger economic connectivity between major population centers and the country's more rural areas.
However, as these new trade connections take shape, the country must confront whether our energy infrastructure is prepared to handle all this extra domestic movement. Brad Plumer's recent piece does a great job outlining some of the technical hold-ups: Gulf Coast refineries can't handle the lighter, sweeter crude from new fracking reserves, but it's costly to reach the East Coast refineries that can. The end result is price distortions, with winners and losers on both sides.
Just as troubling are the clear environmental consequences from an unprepared infrastructure network. In just the past few weeks, there has been a major oil-related derailment in North Dakota and another in Eastern Canada. What happens if a similar accident occurs near a major metro area, resulting in widespread damage?
At the end of the day, we can trace these problems back to an energy network tailored to yesterday's energy markets.
Moving forward, we need to use these new oil-related trade networks as inspiration to remake our energy networks. Do we want to keep moving these new American energy reserves by rail, or should we consider new domestic pipelines? With the continued drop in renewable prices and persistent climate change concerns, how will we update the national electricity grid? The price of harvesting solar power keeps dropping, for example, but we're simply unprepared to move energy from the sun-filled skies of the Southwest and Southeast to the country's cloudier regions.
The domestic energy boom certainly delivers big results for the U.S. economy—new jobs across the country, access to cheaper energy, and an improved trade balance—but it would be foolish to stop at the congratulatory stage. New domestic energy production is rapidly recalibrating our infrastructure needs and is a fresh reminder to constantly invest in national-level improvements. Taking a cue from the electrification and pipeline construction craze of the last century, it's critical we begin to build the energy infrastructure to power this century's economy.

Dar es Salaam — The International Potatoes Centre (CIP) has partnered with Sokoine University (SUA) to start implementing the project of sensitizing the public on the benefit of using orange fleshed sweet potatoes.
The two institutions said the use of orange fleshed sweet potatoes would enable people to get rid of Vitamin A deficiency which is affecting many African countries including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
Speaking to East African Business Week during the workshop of facilitators from Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda in Morogoro last week, the Dean, Faculty of Agricultural of SUA, Prof Bendantungula Tiisekwa said that over 33% of children under-five-year and 37% of women of the reproductive age face Vitamin A deficiency.
Although the government has been providing vitamin A drops to children at clinics, the problem still persists therefore CIP and international institute, Hellen Keller, has started the implementation of 'Reaching Agents of Change (RAC)'.
Prof Tiisekwa said the project which is sponsored by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will give education to different stakeholders on the importance of orange fleshed sweet potatoes as a way of increasing Vitamin A to citizen of those countries in the EAC region.Vitamin A deficiency is a nutritional disorder that mainly afflicts people in developing countries. The most obvious results of vitamin A deficiency are progressive damage to the eyes eventually leading to blindness.
According to Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC), it is estimated that more than 250,000 pre-school children go blind each year due deficiency in Vitamin A.
TFNC said that sub clinical vitamin A deficiency is a much more widespread problem, contributing to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from common childhood infections.
"The prevalence of sub clinical vitamin A deficiency in infants fed breast milk suggests that lactating women in developing countries may also have insufficient stores of vitamin A," TFNC said.
Sweet potato is one of the world's most important food crops in terms of human consumption, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Asia, and the Pacific Islands.
First domesticated more than 5,000 years ago in Latin America, it is grown in more developing countries than any other root crop.
Despite its name, sweet potato is not related to the potato. It is a root, not a tuber, and belongs to the morning-glory family. Many parts of the plant are edible, including leaves, roots, vines, and varieties exist with a wide range of skin and flesh color, from white to yellow-orange and deep purple.

COLUMBIA - Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is coming to South Carolina to campaign for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham's campaign announced Monday that Rice will be in Greenville on May 19 for a lunch with the Republican senator. The campaign is selling tickets for $10.
Rice was Secretary of State for nearly the entire second term of former President George W. Bush. She and Graham agree on several foreign policy goals, including protecting American interests abroad by taking actions in conflicts.
"She is a strong defender of liberty and freedom, understands the threats we face, and embraces American exceptionalism and leadership in the world," Graham wrote in a letter to supporters.
Graham is seeking a third term. He has six challengers in June's Republican primary who all say he isn't conservative enough for South Carolina. Many of them also say Graham is too concerned with foreign policy.
Graham spent the past week announcing several endorsements, including from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Many of the country's most conservative Republicans, like Graham's sometime rival U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., have stayed out of the race and not backed anyone.
The primary is June 10. A candidate will have to get a majority of votes to avoid a runoff two weeks later.
Graham will also face a Democratic and a Libertarian opponent in the fall.
