Taking its title from a key track by the NYC noise band Sonic Youth, S.A. Crary's documentary about No Wave music and its paradoxical influence is both a history of music that sought to defy history and a sharp look at the crisis of innovation in an age of commodified nostalgia.
One of the film's oddest aspects is the way the 2002 footage appears more dated than the scenes from 1978.
Most interesting are the founding mothers and fathers of this movement, who first appear amusingly nostalgic and eventually grow exceptionally bitter as they complain about the packaged and ambitious nature of artists today.

'Lost and found' is now just 'found'
The power of electronic location tracking has now given us the Tile tag, a small device to affix to anything from your keys to your laptop to your umbrella to track the things that go wandering off. A companion app for your phone helps track down a wayward item within 100 feet and will even play a little tune when you get close enough. You can also send out alerts for truly lost items so that others using the system can be alerted when passing by the object you've misplaced.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Hotel Mondial Rome
A great Roman Holiday
My wife and 3 adult children stayed at the Hotel Mondial for 4 nights 12/27 - 12/30. I made our reservation based on the reviews on this site. The proximity to the Termini train station allowed us to take the train from the airport and walk to the hotel. We were one block from a metro stop which facilitated travel to the major sites in the city. We also used taxis which averaged 7 euros to get where we wanted in the city. The staff was friendly and helpful. The free internet access in the lobby was a nice bonus. The complimentary continental breakfast was a great start to the day. We had 3 rooms, and all were quite large compared to our experience in other Euorpean cities. They were clean and comfortable. We would stay at the Hotel Mondial again.
Typical old-fashioned European hotel with good services
We stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Mondial in Rome last week. We weren't planning to stay there originally, but due to some complication, we ended up staying at Mondial.
Mondial is a rather typical old-fashioned European hotel (ie, old carpeting, old furnitues, a huge weight attached to your room key, etc). We usually prefer to stay in modern-style hotels, so we definitely didn't like the design at Mondial.
However, the hotel staff were very friendly, and our room was very clean and ok spacious. There were only two TV channels in English (CNN and BCC, as expected). The food selection during breakfast was not bad (cereal, croissants/breads, yogurt, etc).
Location of the hotel is quite convenient. The Republica subway station is just around the corner, and Termini Station is about 3-4 blocks away (15 min walk with luggage). To get to/from Termini, I would suggest walking since it might be a bit clumpsy to drag your bags up/down the subway, plus the subway might be crowded and you'd have to watch out for pickpockets.
If you are looking for a livelier neighborhood at night, you might consider staying around the Spanish Steps or Piazza Navona.
Staff was very good
I contacted the hotel to arrange transfers from the port to the hotel and from the hotel to the airport. Both of these transfers were excellent and well worth the euros.
The hotel was not exactly 400metres from the Trevi. It was very close to shopping and some of the sites. The Trevi fountain was approx. a 20 minute walk. We walked all over Rome and found the location fine. The taxi to Piazza Navona was 5 Euro's. The room was fine, it had a safe, queen bed and a desk with chairs. Not fancy but adequate. It was Clean and the walls were painted. No view as the windows were covered with shutters and didn't open. The bathroom was excellent and clean. The elevators were better than some of the five stars rome hotels we have stayed in.
The staff was helpful, spoke English and responded to e-mail quickly and efficiently. There was one internet computer availble to the guests by the front desk that was a unexpected bonus (no charge).
The breakfast room was lovely and the breakfast very good. Fruit, croissants, coffee, juice, cereal much more than we expected.
For one night it was the perfect hotel.
Okay Value; Convenient Location
Location (I)
The location: 3 blocks from the Termini, just South of the Piazza di Repubblica, and a block off of Via Nazionale, gave us great access to shopping, taxis, and buses. Most attractions were also within walking distance-or about a 5-6 EURO taxi ride away.
Through www.bestwestern.com we got a rate substantially below 200 EURO a night, including taxes and a full breakfast.
While we didn't expect to get the room shown on their website for our price, it did feel a bit like a bait-and-switch. We booked a triple with a queen and single beds, but got a large double room with two singles and a roll-away. The staff quickly assembled the two singles into a king, but the only place to put the roll-away was in front of the small sofa. Needless to say, it was a bit cramped, but workable. The room had dark walnut paneling and trim, with accordion-style closet doors, worn wall paper, a mish-mash of scarred cheap furniture pieces, and plastic table lamps, including two ugly white plastic bed lamps that looked like something out of a "Star Trek" episode. Unfortunately only one lamp worked. New bulbs solved the problem for two, but the others had shorts, which caused them to flicker on/off unexpectedly. On the bright side, the bathroom was very nice, with lots of space, Italian marble, and good fixtures (similar to other Italian hotels where we have stayed).
Location (II)
While the location had many benefits, just a few blocks east of the hotel is bordering on seedy. We were not accosted and never felt threatened, but night brings out a little rougher element. We saw a guy "shooting up" between two parked cars, just three blocks from the hotel. Thus, we'd recommend that you stay near the Via Nazionale or farther East if you venture out in the evening.
In the end, the Hotel Mondial was an okay value (after all, who comes to Rome to stay in their room?). Be prepared, however, for the possibility of a bit less than a typical 4-star experience.
We had a great stay. The room was nice and clean. The staff was very helpful. I would definatly stay here again. It is close to the transit and a nice walk to almost everywere else. Would highly recomend this hotel.
Excellent Hotel
We stayed at the BW Mondial from 10th to 16th June 04 and I could not fault anything about the establishment.We had a twin room which was pleasantly decorated.Bathroom was perfect.We had room service breakfast which was always delivered at the time requested.The decor throughout was relaxing.Staff very helpfull and spoke excellent English--although they obviously appreciate it when you try out your Italian.Location of hotel is perfect for walking to tourist sites.Termini is only 5 mins walk away.Good for all buses and Metro.As the building is old the walls between We have been to many hotels around the world and the Mondial rates in the top selection.Aircon is controlled from within the room and so can be set to ones preference.Windows are very well sound insulated and there is no noise from the nearby roads.
cannot say enough to praise this hotel and the staff.
Well worth its 4 stars
Very impressive. Spotless, spacious, courteous and helpful. Excellent room with beautiful bathroom. Bedding changed EACH day. Decor sparse but elegant and in good order (unlike another reviewer I felt my room had been updated quite recently - maybe they were halfway through the process - I stayed in Sept 2003). If I return to Rome I would certainly go back to the Mondial.
Central location and nice staff!
We stayed at the Hotel Mondial during Christmas week of 2002. We booked 2 rooms because we had our 3 kids with us. I emailed them way in advance to block off 2 connecting rooms and to our relief, they did just that! Our luggage was delayed by Alitalia and the front desk staff was nice about speaking to the Alitalia people on the phone about our luggage in Italian. The rooms were fine and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good, not spectacular. We paid a total of 300 Euros a night for the 2 rooms including breakfast and tax, which I thought was reasonable for an expensive city like Rome. The location near the train station was very convenient especially for the direct train to and from the airport. If you stay here you will be happy. Don't expect super luxury, but a fine and dependable 3 - 4 star hotel. Eat at the Chinese Restaurant around the corner on Via Viminale - YUM!!!
Hotel Mondial - An adequate pitstop
The Best Western Hotel Mondial is conveniently located around the corner from the Piazza Republica Metro stop. The staff are polite and helpful with tourist matters. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean, although a decor update would not go astray. The bed and pillows were firm and of decent quality. The breakfast, consisting of: cereals, breads and sweet pastries, jams and spreads, yoghurts, cheeses, cold hard-boiled eggs and cold meats, juices, and coffee was plentiful and satisfying although no hot options were available. Overall, this hotel was convenient and adequate for a weekend getaway.
TripAdvisor Reviews BEST WESTERN Hotel Mondial Rome
Travel Blogs from Rome
... friendly ? Rome doesn't have an anti litter policy. There's a lot of rubbish on the streets and a lot of gypsy beggars. The city does look beautiful at night. We're going to try and get a fair bit of sight seeing done tomorrow as we have to return our hire car by 3pm tomorrow. We have travelled over 3,600 Kms in it and haven't had a moments worry with it. God I hope it's where we parked it tomorrow ...

... everything there. Next was the Coliseum. I had purchased €12 entrance tickets back in July for all of us which allowed us to skip the lines and walk right in. This saved us maybe 2 hours. The Coliseum was great and better preserved than I had thought. Mom got part way up but shut down for the upper level. We had about an hour there, then off to Trevi fountain, another site packed with people. Took some pics there and went back ...

Day 6 - Rome
I woke up with a smile on my face. I had wanted to be in Rome for a really long time and I was finally there. For the first time since arriving in Italy, there was sun outside. After breakfast, we got on the bus to head to the other side of town. It was Thursday, November 1st, All Saints Day. Since Rome is a very religious city, there was a lot less traffic than any normal day. We went past the oldest University in ...

After realising the conversation was going to continue past "it's the middle of the night," I went outside to try and allow the others to sleep.

Upgrading from Windows Mobile 5 to WM6 - The End ResultWe show you how to give your Windows Mobile 2005 device a new lease of life with a FREE upgrade to WM6!
The End Result
Some interesting points that we noticed before and after the upgrade (at least on the HTC TyTN), was that with Windows Mobile 5 we had a total of close to 55MB of storage space with some 49MB available. We expected this to drop as Windows Mobile 6 takes up more space, and we weren't wrong. After the upgrade we had just over 47MB of storage space with just under 37MB of free space.
However, what we didn't expect was the increase in program memory or RAM. With WM5 the total memory available was close to 49MB, and just over 25MB available when only the screen capture application was running. WM6 had about the same total amount of memory available, but had over 28MB free to use. This was a surprise indeed, although it shouldn't have any real impact on performance, apart from the fact that it would allow you to run another application or two before the device would come to a crawl.
This is of course dependant on what applications you're loading up, and having Windows Live on the home screen eats up a fair amount of memory as well, but this is easy enough to disable. Our TyTN device felt just as responsive as it did with WM5 and we're quite happy with the upgrade so far. Just remember to sync up your phone with your computer once you've installed the new version so you get your precious data back onto it.
I hope this has made your upgrade process more painless and streamlined, as you can see it's really not too hard to accomplish at all. Good luck and enjoy your free upgrade folks!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Burn's Injury A Concern For McLellan
by Paul on 01/24/12 at 12:56 PM ET
Comments (4)
from David Pollak of the Mercury News,
Afterward, coach Todd McLellan voiced more concern about the potential loss of Burns than he did with how his team—which has only one victory in its past five games—played against the NHL team with fewer points than all but one other.
"The doctors are still evaluating him," the coach said. "I know he doesn't feel good, and I would doubt that he's going to play for us tomorrow. It's knee on knee, he doesn't return, and he's not walking very well."
Though the initial pain had subsided, Burns still seemed to be in discomfort when he talked with reporters about the hit and his initial reaction.
"You feel pretty hot, and I thought I was going to throw up," said Burns, who initially went to the bench, then headed to the locker room once he felt a little better.
Burns also wanted to make it clear he didn't regard Hemsky as a dirty player delivering a cheap shot.
"It happens. It's a quick game, it's a quick reaction," Burns said. "I've been on the other end. It's not his fault. I know that."

Good on Burns for realizing not everything in dirty I guess.
But boy, the Sharks sure have unravelled haven't they? Sure they're 3rd, but right now by sheer points they'd be in 7th or 8th in the West.
Posted by Primis on 01/24/12 at 01:12 PM ET
I like Hemsky screaming "that's *#$%@& bullshit" after the call at the beginning of the video. Yeah dude, what could they possibly be calling a penalty on?
Posted by SK77 on 01/24/12 at 01:54 PM ET
they're 3rd, but right now by sheer points they'd be in 7th or 8th in the West.
They're having a bad stretch, but they've also played between two and four fewer games than anyone in the top 8 in the west right now.
Posted by Garth on 01/24/12 at 03:10 PM ET
Reports are more of a charleyhorse than a knee. Burns could be ready after the ASG.

Short Cuts
The writings of St. Irenaeus entitle him to a high place among the fathers of the Church, for they not only laid the foundations of Christian theology but, by exposing and refuting the errors of the gnostics, they delivered the Catholic Faith from the real danger of the doctrines of those heretics.
He was probably born about the year 125, in one of those maritime provinces of Asia Minor where the memory of the apostles was still cherished and where Christians were numerous. He was most influenced by St. Polycarp who had known the apostles or their immediate disciples
Many Asian priests and missionaries brought the gospel to the pagan Gauls and founded a local church. To this church of Lyon, Irenaeus came to serve as a priest under its first bishop, St. Pothinus, an oriental like himself. In the year 177, Irenaeus was sent to Rome. This mission explains how it was that he was not called upon to share in the martyrdom of St Pothinus during the terrible persecution in Lyons. When he returned to Lyons it was to occupy the vacant bishopric. By this time, the persecution was over. It was the spread of gnosticism in Gaul, and the ravages it was making among the Christians of his diocese, that inspired him to undertake the task of exposing its errors. He produced a treatise in five books in which he sets forth fully the inner doctrines of the various sects, and afterwards contrasts them with the teaching of the Apostles and the text of the Holy Scripture. His work, written in Greek but quickly translated to Latin, was widely circulated and succeeded in dealing a death-blow to gnosticism. At any rate, from that time onwards, it ceased to offer a serious menace to the Catholic faith.
The date of death of St. Irenaeus is not known, but it is believed to be in the year 202. The bodily remains of St. Irenaeus were buried in a crypt under the altar of what was then called the church of St. John, but was later known by the name of St. Irenaeus himself. This tomb or shrine was destroyed by the Calvinists in 1562, and all trace of his relics seems to have perished.

Ages ago I saw a phonics flip book over at Activity Mom. I made one for M thinking it was appropriate since she knew all of her sounds. (I say she knows all of her sounds, but really she knows typical consonant and short vowel sounds. At this point I don't think she needs more than that.)
Well, M was totally disinterested. I put it away for several months. And now both she and E are a bit interested in it. Maybe I should share that this is minimal interest. She'll read a few words and E likes to flip pages and say letters.
I cut a spiral bound 3x5 booklet into thirds. Consonants are placed on the first and third sections, and I wrote vowels in the center section. (I repeated the vowels several times.)
It's fun to read familiar words, but it can be more fun to say the silly words.
I think a phonics flip book is fabulous for a beginning reader.

The agency added PostNet, Ashro and Seventh Avenue to its client roster.
Denver, December 13, 2010 — Sallie Burnett, President of Customer Insight Group, a leading strategic marketing consulting firm specializing in customer relationship management and social media programs, recently announced that the agency added PostNet, Ashro and Seventh Avenue to its client roster.
PostNet is an international franchise network of Neighborhood Business Centers. With more than 850 locations worldwide, PostNet offers digital printing and design services as well as packaging and shipping for both businesses and consumers. The company engaged Customer Insight Group to help them with their CRM franchisee email marketing program.
Brian Spindel, founder and COO of PostNet, stated that Customer Insight Group was selected because, "We wanted a company that was experienced in customer relationship management and could help PostNet launch a corporate CRM email marketing program to cost-effectively manage and automate lifecycle marketing for our franchisees. I'm looking forward to working with them on projects in the future, and I highly recommend them."
Ashro, a multi-channel fashion retailer, engaged Customer Insight Group to assist with integrating cause marketing into their marketing strategy. Rather than viewing opportunities one-dimensionally, our extensive hands-on experience allows us to understand both corporations and non-profit organization's needs – leading to strategic, integrated programs that achieve NPO mission objectives while delivering marketing, sales and PR benefits to the corporate partner. According to Burnett, "Consumers are showing a striking preference for brands they believe to be socially responsible. Using our proprietary Cause Marketing Exploration process, we designed a strategy that identified causes important to Ashro customers and allowed the company to engage their customers with the causes that matter the most to them."
Seventh Avenue, is a catalog and online retailer that brings the one-stop convenience of a department store to their customers' front door. The company is known for a variety of unique, hard to find, affordable products.
Customer Insight Group created a customer engagement strategy to expand Seventh Avenue's pool of profitable customers and ultimately optimize each customer's lifetime value. The strategy involved focusing on customer interactions called "moments of truth" when a customer learns a promise made by Seventh Avenue will be honored. "In order to create great experiences for customers, we first helped Seventh Avenue articulate what they want each customer to think and feel at every stage of the customer life cycle. This process was developed with business goals and customer experience in mind," says Ms. Burnett.
Customer insight Group is a leading strategic marketing consulting firm that helps companies engage, keep and grow profitable customer relationships. We help companies assess and improve customer strategy to achieve measurable business objectives. We provide loyalty audits, social media customer engagement programs and innovative loyalty programs.

Back to square one: Tan and his daughter Tan Jee Cheng, 21, reading Chinese New Year cards in his house in Kuantan. The new cabinet in the background was the only piece of furniture he acquired after his previous purchases were damaged by floods. Looking on is Tan's friend Wang Swee Fock.
KUANTAN: The severe floods here last month was a lesson for businessman Tan Hong Kon, 50, not to prepare too early for the Chinese New Year.
Tan had set aside some of his profits to purchase new items for the Chinese New Year back then.
He got new sofa sets, a TV and refrigerator, but three days later on Dec 3, his house in Taman Cenderawasih was inundated by severe floods.
"My new sofa set and some other furniture were damaged after being submerged for days. My wife's car, which was parked in the porch, was also damaged. We also had to stay in my friend's house,'' he added.
When the situation returned to normal after four days, Tan and family returned to their home.
"My house was a big mess. I had to dump all the destroyed items, except for the refrigerator,'' he lamented.
Come Chinese New Year on Friday, Tan said he planned to celebrate "with whatever that I have left".
Tan said he had planned to travel outside Pahang but because of financial constraints, he would celebrate it at home.
He said the floods were worse than the one he had experienced in 2001.
"I had to spend RM5,000 to repair my wife's car,'' he added.
Tan said he still felt lucky because his shop in Bukit Sekilau was spared the floods.

Pa. police subdue armed man with TASER after assault
By Richard Robbins
Police used a Taser to subdue a Uniontown man they said assaulted a state trooper in Uniontown, state police said Tuesday.
The suspect was carrying a loaded pistol, police said.
The incident yesterday at the corner of Jacob and Justin streets in Uniontown began as a traffic stop at 2:34 a.m. White assaulted Trooper John Weaver after Weaver and Trooper Nathan Lieberum stopped White's vehicle, police said.
"White exited the driver side of his vehicle and began to walk away," a police report said. "During the investigation, White continually reached in his right pocket with his right hand."
Lieberum grabbed White's hand and right pants pocket, authorities said. White pushed back and began to run through a nearby yard.
Lieberum tackled White twice, but White managed to escape, police said. Lieberum eventually used his Taser to subdue the suspect.
Tasers emit an electrical charge capable of incapacitating a person.
A loaded .45-caliber pistol was found in White's right pocket, police said. White also possessed what police called "an unidentified prescription drug."
White was arraigned before District Judge Dwight Shaner.

(Family Features) While kids and parents alike eagerly await the fresh start of a new school year, the back-to-school season is not without its share of stressors for busy families. The start of school means new schedules, teachers, shoes, backpacks and friends; as well as new academic challenges.
Adding some fun and excitement to the newness can help smooth the way. For example, allowing kids to help choose their outfits for the first day of school can help diffuse that nervous anticipation. Similarly, the chance to put a fresh set of pens to use or show off a cool new notebook can provide a distraction from those first-day jitters.
If the shopping itself is adding stress to your household, ease the back-to-school burden on your family with these helpful tips to simplify shopping for the school year ahead. Read more

FBI(WASHINGTON) — FBI Director James Comey did not attend this week's White House summit on Combating Violent Extremism, while the head of Russia's Federal Security Service did, prompting questions.
The New York Times pointed out that Comey is "the most senior official charged with preventing terrorist attacks," making his absence strange.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained on Friday that the decision was made "to make sure that there wasn't a perception that this conference was overly focused on law enforcement tactics."
Instead, the White House says, "we just invited [Comey's] boss," referring to Attorney General Eric Holder in his stead.
As for the Russian attendance at the summit, Earnest said that he was not aware of any hesitancy in hosting the Russian security leader, despite his being on the European Union's sanctions list.
U.S. State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said that the Russian attendance was part of "modern day diplomacy," which she says "requires that we work with some countries on some issues, even when we have strong disagreements on others."

Voted Best Documentary of the year by The National Board of Review, The National Society of Film Critics, The New York Film Critics Circle, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle, this is a highly personal, wryly humorous look at the closing of several General Motors plants in Flint, Michigan, the hometown of filmmaker Michael Moore (Emmy-nominee for "TV Nation"), which resulted in the elimination of 35,000 jobs. Armed with a razor-sharp wit, compassion and more than a little chutzpah, Moore offers his perceptions of what went wrong in Flint, and chronicles his much-thwarted efforts to meet face-to-face with the big man himself, GM chairman Roger Smith. Michael Moore's controversial but popular film has been included in numerous 10-Best Lists for 1989. The New York Times describes it as "rollicking... witty... leaving the audience roaring with laughter!"]]>

Hydro lays out case for new rate hike
MANITOBA Hydro wants its customers to pay more for keeping the lights on.
The province's power utility and the arm's-length Public Utilities Board began the first day of hearings Monday on Hydro's request for a 3.5 per cent rate increase as of April 1.
Hydro also signalled it wants increases of 3.95 per cent in each of the remaining 18 years of its 20-year financial forecast -- a forecast that includes the building of the Bipole III transmission line down the west side of the province, two massive generating stations in northern Manitoba and an overhaul of its other dams, transmission lines and substations built decades ago.
Hydro president and chief executive officer Scott Thomson said Hydro needs the extra money from rates to offset an estimated $2.9-billion loss in forecast revenue over the 20-year period.
"The revenue stream that we had been expecting to help underwrite some of the capital development, and some of our overall requirements, has declined," Thomson said Monday.
When Hydro first put the idea out four years ago it needs a steady series of rate hikes over the next decade, it was pegged at about three per cent every year.
But that was before the global recession hit and sidelined export power sales to the United States. It also came just as the shale gas boom exploded in North America and flooded the market with cheap natural gas to compete against Hydro's electricity.
The result hasn't been pretty for Hydro's bottom line. In its most recent financial report, Hydro saw a net loss on consolidated electricity and natural gas operations of $43 million for the first six months of this fiscal year, compared to net income of $13 million for the same period last year.
Hydro has also revised the construction costs for the Keeyask and Conawapa generating stations.
Conawapa's estimated in-service cost of $7.8 billion in 2025-26 has gone up $2.4 billion and Keeyask's estimated in-service cost of $5.6 billion in 2019-20 has gone up $600 million.
"What we have experienced over the last five, six, seven years is that construction and labour rates have been substantially higher than inflation," Thomson said, adding Conawapa's costs have gone up partly because it's been pushed back one year.
The PUB has already granted Hydro a two per cent hike last April and another 2.5 per cent increase in September.
Byron Williams, who represents the Manitoba branch of the Consumers' Association of Canada, told the three-member PUB panel if Hydro gets its wish of a 3.5 per cent hike, Manitobans will be paying eight per cent more on their Hydro bills in just one year.
Hydro says the rate increases are modest and only add a few dollars a year to the average residential user's bill -- and still keep its rates among the lowest in North America.
Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, which represents most First Nations in the province's north, and the Manitoba Industrial Power Users Group also oppose Hydro's rate request.
The GAC said it's concerned energy conservation will suffer with the building of two new dams.
It says Hydro should put more focus on other forms of renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal and electric vehicles.
Updated on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:26 AM CST:
Removes GAC from list of groups opposed to the rate hike.
