Music and Counterculture - Fruitfly - 06-23-2012 06:54 AM
This morning I came across a reference to "scene kids" and had to look up a definition/description to understand what this alleged counterculture was about. It seems the movement revolves around big, outlandish colored hair, extensive accessories, imitation bisexuality/homosexuality and pure "self-confidence." The key here is that one is a scene kid through the construction of appearance, often mined from former sub-cultures, and through a self-confidence that does not allow for introspection and self-critique. Everyone who fails to appreciate the scene kid is a "hater" who should be ignored.
In these ways the "scene" is more ridiculous than it's counterpart, Emo, and the subcultures that came before it, because it involves the fetishization of objects and appearance and a similacrum pulled from previous cultures without an adhering philosophy or set of principles to ground it. Furthermore, unlike Emo that inscribes introspection, it does not allow for the possibility of critique of either the self or society, making it ineffectual as a potential locus of change. As a result, "Scene" is the appearance of Capitalism in a countercultural form, one that differs only through a transgression of social normativity, albeit in a non-meaningful way.
Both the hippie movement and the gothic movement were responses to and a critique of the political and social conditions of their time. The hippie movement grounded in such bands as The Beatles was political response to the Vietnam war and mysogyny; the idea of an all-inclusive love was the solution to governmental and cultural manifestations of hate and oppression. In the same way, 80's goth was a reaction to the end of the cold-war and to the advent of AIDS, with fear being a founding principle. The question of national meaning and individual meaning was reflected in literary and existential thought, and goths took up Sartre, Camus and Salinger and bands like The Cure. The result was a period of artistic flourish, as art was the only thing that could resonate and articulate the mindset where government and science failed.

The close cast of The Dark Knight Rises
Dave Hogan/Getty
Tracking for The Dark Knight Rises is very, VERY strong. Here we go. Can it challenge The Avengers? Right now they're saying at least $185 million and it just might give Marvel a go to get to $200 million even though TDKR is not 3D. But why fight? Everyone is happy. Here they are, the happy cast of The Dark Knight Rises in London last night at the premiere. Full Story
Is it out of your system?
Leonardo DiCaprio fraternised with Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton thus destroying Germany's hopes at a World Cup title. Warner Bros is hoping that that's the extent of their star's Ebola infection. And that it is no longer contagious. Because of course they're hoping for a hit with Inception. Full Story
Will you blame Leo?
Ebola Paris Hilton was arrested then released for pot possession in South Africa. To celebrate its freedom, it ended up partying with Leonardo DiCaprio per Page Six. They were in Cape Town and hit up a club and had tables side by side, hanging out all night, having also travelled together to the World Cup via private jet courtesy some obscenely wealthy starf-cker. Full Story
What would Mrs Murphy say?
Over in London, it's Sienna Miller, maybe not quite as trainwrecky has Lindsay Lohan but drama, drama, drama, all the time too. Last night Sienna hit up the Groucho Club stumbling out at 2am and heading to another bar where she hooked up with Cillian Murphy and they were seen leaving together in a cab… She and Cillian have worked together on a couple of projects.

What happens if New Orleans' gigantic, billion-dollar hospital (now near completion) doesn't open? Governor Jindal's budget proposal could leave the University Medical Center millions of dollars short of what's needed to open and stay open.
You can't drive around it without thinking 'this is transformative for New Orleans.' Through the years, as I've been talking about this new hospital with elected officials, business people, legislators... I've always asked "do we have the money to sustain this thing once it's up an running?" and I've never gotten a straight answer.
Now, as we know, Louisiana is in a real budget pickle with a $1.6 billion dollar deficit. The talk originally was to make big cuts to higher education, and there's also been talk of a $300 million dollar cut to health care.
Gregory Feirn, CEO of LCMC Health, which runs the state-owned hospital, told the New Orleans Advocate, "If the state does not restore the funding, then the state is deciding not to allow for care for the people of New Orleans, deciding not to open their state-of-the-art facility that is nearly finished and striking a crippling blow to medical education in Louisiana."
I asked State Treasurer John Kennedy what he thought about this report. Is that quote correct? Is it hyperbolic?
"It certainly concerns me. Feirn is a very able administrator, and I think they'll be able to manage that facility better than the state could. I and others might have done things differently with some of that money, but it is what it is, we've invested and we've got to make that facility work. We do not have a choice," he told me.
There's no way the hospital doesn't open... right?
To hear my interview with John Kennedy about the future of the hospital, click the link below.
FULL AUDIO: Garland talks to State Treasurer John Kennedy about University Medical
By now you've likely heard that President Obama's new budget contains plans for big new investments in infrastructure to spark new job growth and expand America's middle class. That in itself is not controversial, but I'm reading some articles from leading economists that say infrastructure spending doesn't really create many jobs or sustain local economies. So we don't really know if that's the way to go.
Much more disturbing (and clear for all to see) is that the President, in getting money for those infrastructure investments and for his $4 trillion dollar budget, has a hope to take Louisiana's oil revenue and share it with the entire nation beginning in 2017. He wants to take a big chunk of our states' local economy and give it away to everyone else because he says that coastal waters belong to the whole country and should be owned and experienced by all Americans.
It's the kind of thing that makes you sit up in your chair and say WHAT?!
READ MORE: Republicans will fight the president on oil and gas revenues
I invited Sidney Coffee, Policy Adviser for America's WETLAND Foundation, into "The Think Tank" this morning to help me better understand this. Sidney had previously worked on the legislation that got Louisiana a greater share of oil and gas revenues.
"We knew, at some point, there was going to be an effort by someone to try to reverse this. These are tremendous sums, up to $500 million a year that would be calculated in 2017 and we would actually being receiving them in 2018. Our Congressional delegation, more unified on this issue than almost any other before or since, they all fought very hard for this. The State did it's part, the Congress did it's part, and now that the money is coming in a few years, and there's a money grab to try to take it back."
The Coastal Restoration Protection Authority will have to cut funds. So how do we turn to Congress and say 'we said all along that this is about whether or not we survive,' but now coastal restoration is the first thing we cut? I don't get it.
"We don't get it either. The people spoke. They want these funds, these dedicated funds, that could not go to anything more critical right now. What happens on Louisiana's coast affect every single person in this state and in this nation, sometimes in ways we don't even think about. Never has it been more critical that every penny we have goes straight into coastal restoration."
Should we feel better that Congress has a record of getting nothing done? Does this even have the possibility of getting passed?
"One light is probably that Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is chair of the Energy Committee, and her state would be affected by this too. I'm sure that she won't want this legislation to go through her committee!"
In the second half of the show, Congressman Charles Boustany of Lafayette and State Rep. Kirk Talbot of River Ridge joined the conversation. With GOP control of both Houses of Congress, is there a chance this legislation could succeed?
"No, there isn't," Boustany said. "We will block this in the House of Representatives with certainty. This is a grave threat and injustice to Louisiana. Our delegations going well over 50 years back fought to get revenue sharing... I was there in that debate and we were successful. Now for the first time the President, for the first time in six years, puts this in his budget without any real explanation. This is a gross travesty and we will do everything we can to stop it."
"We're all concerned," Kirk agreed, "but the fact that the Republicans have majorities in both Houses, it would take an act of Congress to undo this. Senator Vitter was quotes in the paper as saying this has a zero percent chance of happening. But my concern is that President Obama and his administration will find a way to do an end run around Congress, which he's done on a lot of things. That would be my fear."

What do we do with a flood protection bowl with a big ole hole?
Voters in St. Bernard decided they don't want to pay for flood protection. It's a vote that threatens New Orleans and Jefferson residents, because our $14 billion dollars' worth of flood walls are not complete without the St. Bernard link, which makes us susceptible to flooding again. Shouldn't that worry us? And what do we do now?
As always, I turn to the experts. Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority President Steve Estopinal and Lake Borgne Basin Levee District Executive Director Nic Cali joined me in "The Think Tank" this morning.
This seems like a real problem, is it? "Yeah, it's a serious problem! I'm disappointed they didn't pass the tax. It's probably our fault, we probably didn't do as good of a job of explaining why it has to be done. We can improve on that. We're not in desparate straits yet but we're in very serious trouble," Steve warned.
When I think of the $14 billion flood protection system I think of a big wall surrounding us - if St. Bernard doesn't pay for their part of the wall, doesn't it create a hole? "No one is an island - St. Bernard is on the cutting edge of flood protection for the metro area, there's no doubt about that. We have an issue coming up right now where we're going to have to do some repairs to an interior levee in St Bernard 8 miles from New Orleans, but those repairs will directly impact flood protection for about 2.5 square miles of urban land in Orleans Parish. The way floods occur have no respect for political boundaries, and so we're struggling right now to figure out a way to pay for about $4 million of repair to a levee in a parish that doesn't have $4 million to spend on it," he continued.
So regardless of how good the rest of the flood protection system is, it's only as good as it's weakest link, right? Isn't that St. Bernard now? "That's not St. Bernard now, but if we don't provide the maintainance and improvements that are necessary in the Lake Borgne Levee District, St. Bernard will very rapidly become the weakest link, and then we're all vulnerable."

Was justice done in Ferguson? Everyone has an opinion on it, but the fact is, the system of using a grand jury to decide whether or not to bring charges is not a popular system - so much so that half the states in the US don't use them at all.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Fung Great pack This pack is great, holds plenty of gear for my rides including all my tubes and tools. It does a great job of keeping the water cold for a long time, when you first take a sip the water in the tube has warmed but when it pulls from the pack it's still ice cold 2-3 hours into the ride. Quite comfortable and light as well. I prefer this to having two water bottles on the bike. July 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by hikin fam. worked well This was a father's day gift for my hubby. We took it to Oahu and used it on a hike. It was great.

Rated 5 out of 5�by ShannonPG Great purchase! This was bought for a son who was off to Bonnaroo 2014. According to him it saved his life. It allowed him to have his own safe, clean and readily available water when the temperatures soared and the lines for drinks were long and expensive. He's also an avid cyclist - street and trail - and is looking forward to using it for that purpose as well. It had a mild "plastic" smell the first time it was filled up but he rinsed it with water with a little fresh lime juice and it was good to go. June 24, 2014

Women's Soccer Fights to Finish

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY - The 2010 Hilbert women's soccer season ended October 27 with a home loss to cross-town Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference foe, Medaille College, (1-0). The pregame activities were dedicated to honoring Hilbert's two graduating seniors Samantha Lawrence (East Chatham, NY/New Lebanon) and Emily Schilling (Holland, NY/Holland) over the new PA audio system. Hilbert ended the season 1-8 in league play placing them in 10th place and out of conference play offs. Medaille finished (3-5-1) and must travel to La Roche College as the sixth seed in the AMCC playoffs on October 30.
Medaille's only goal was scored 5:59 into the first half on a slow, wet field of play. Hilbert's Mary Zinni (Batavia, NY/Batavia) {7 saves} had a combination of glare from the sun and an aggressive front line from the Mavericks to battle in goal during the first 45 minutes of play. Medaille held a (13 -6) shots and (4-0) corner kick advantage heading into half time with the 1-0 lead. The Hawks started the second half with a higher intensity level pushing the ball into and keeping it in the Mavericks end of the field. Hilbert held a 9-8 advantage in shots but couldn't find the back of the net past Medaille's Denay O'Connor.
Freshman forward Sarah Schmidt (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) and sophomore defender Nicole Blair (Syracuse, NY/East Syracuse Minoa) each had 2 shots on goal contributing to the four total from the Hawks.
The women's soccer program will begin to firm up their incoming class for next fall and fill in the gaps to shore up the loss of the graduating seniors. Hilbert finishes the season with an overall 5-12 record and a 1-8 conference record.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Principles & Practices of Succession Planting
The Basics
Putting the principles of succession planting into practice will help you take the guesswork out of planning, and bring a steady supply of produce, ready for harvest over the longest possible period, within your reach. Succession planting gives you the ability to:
- Maximize space
- Extend the harvest window
- Maintain a continuous supply
- Satisfy customer demand
Types of Succession Planting
While the terminology used to define and describe succession planting language varies, there are four basic approaches you can take to make the most efficient use of space and timing to increase productivity. In basic terms, here they are:
- Two or more crops in sequence. After you harvest one crop, you plant another in the same space. Depending upon the length of your growing season, climate, and crop selection, you essentially plant a number of different varieties into their optimal "seasonal slot."
- Interval succession planting. You make repeated plantings of the same crop, planting the same variety at timed intervals. To help you plan with this approach, our Research team has developed a set of Succession Planting Interval Charts.
- Two or more crops concurrently. You plant a number of different varieties, typically with different maturity dates, into their best "spatial slot." Related variations of this approach are sometimes referred to as "intercropping" and "companion planting."
- Same crop, different maturity dates. You plant several varieties, with different maturity dates — early, mid season, and late — at the same time. As they mature over the season, you harvest them one after the other.
The techniques described above can be applied at any scale, and are often used in combination. Numbers 1 and 4, for example, are combined in Johnny's Planting Programs.
Succession planting systems can become increasingly more refined, complex, and productive with experience. The intervals can be tweaked by factoring in regional or individual farm-record data, and by adopting more innovative and advanced techniques, such as season extension methods.
Johnny's Succession Planting Interval Charts
Johnny's Research team has created a set of charts showing recommended planting intervals for crops especially well-suited for repeated plantings of the same crop.
The timing between successive plantings on these charts relates to the average days to maturity for the crop or variety listed. Bear in mind that the intervals between plantings shown here are based on "standard" growing practices. In actuality, optimal planting intervals are also contingent upon local frost dates; growing conditions; and methods of planting, growing, and harvesting.
Planting tips and notes are provided, and the charts can also help you decide which crops to grow concurrently. Try our easy-to-use Succession Planting Calculator to forecast the dates of your successive plantings.
Johnny's Succession Planting Programs
Planting programs differ from interval succession planting in that they generally involve planting crop varieties that have varying days to maturity, as well as planting different varieties depending upon the season, to produce a continuous supply. As with interval succession planting, many growers apply season extension methods as an integral part of their planting programs.

Richardson is charged with co-defendant Terrence Burney in a 2008 murder of 76-year-old Joseph Kitchens. Superior Court Judge James Cline, who will be the judge for the murder trials, heard the June 13 motions.
Burney and Richardson are charged with felony murder, false imprisonment, and burglary.
The state is seeking the death penalty, which is the reason the defendants are being tried separately.
Richardson was represented in Thursday's proceeding by capital public defenders Christian Lamar and Kimberly Staten-Hayes.
District Attorney Fred Bright is prosecuting the case with the aid of Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack.

Well not really one payment model, but three designed to work in tandem in the same game, all the while avoiding the pay to win issue and allowing as many people in as possible. I could smash this thread with an essay but I'll let the proposed systems talk for themselves.
Subscription model.
Everything is given to the player for the usual price, £9 or 12 euros or 15$. They do not have anything to purchase to unlock in terms of features, areas, classes or races, inventory slots, character slots.
Build your own subscription.
If you cannot afford the subscription costs, then perhaps the build your own subscription would work out better for you. Perhaps you only intent to play a certain amount each day, or maybe you only want four race slots and half of the classes on offer. This is a more advanced option, but the player would be able to add things until they were happy, or until they finally arrived at a point where a subscription was a better deal.
Free to play.
The free to play option would allow the player access to the game, a selection of races and classes, limited race slots, limited bag slots, limited coin allowance. Then you let the players pick what they want to buy outright, perhaps they KNOW they never want to touch a caster, and are SET on that specific race, a quick charge of the race, class, some bag slots, and they've got all they need to continue playing on a free to play option. As always however if they never wished to spend a penny, then they are free to continue as they want playing in a limited fashion, which a good portion of free to play gamers are happy with.
That is the subscription models section of the post taken care off, now onto the item shop that I would allow in game. The unique difference is that everything purchased from the item shop can make its way from one player to another through in-game trades, no bind on account. This doesn't take money from the developers, but gives the whales the option to spend their cash and sell on these items for in-game money. (Yes it is purchasing gold in effect, we do however move gold purchase in-game and kill off RMT from third party.)
Items in the shop would not be allowed to sell things like..
Things to expect would be..
Now remember all of these can be sold in game once purchased.
Lastly I would allow the eve based system of trading PLEX to exist within the game as well. For those who do not know, PLEX is an item that is purchased outside of the game, which when used offers the account 30 days additional on its subscription. These "PLEX" can be sold in game to other players.
That's everything! Now I love my subscription based games, I prefer them over all else. I like a flat rate no fuss kind of game. What I get from this system is exactly that. Everyhting the game offers I can have without paying more than my subscription. The values are there for the other pay options as well however, with the free to players happily enjoying the its they want without spending to much. The whales get rich without creating a pay to win system, and those who create they subscriptions can pay for the small amount they want for a short time and enjoy just as easily.
The only play time that doesn't win in this model is the Pay to win gamer, with no options of buying power apart from the gold they could generate from spending money on shop based items to then purchase from other players the best equipment, this however is NOT pay to win, it's pay to progress faster, they'll still die just as easily as another maxed out character who didn't spend a dime in the case of the free to play gamer.

As soon as you have variation between how players are paying, you create an incentive for the publisher to focus on moving players up a ladder to higher and higher spending.
The more I look at the varied models out there, the more firmly convinced I am that "one player, one bill" is the only way to ensure that developer resources are focused on an entertaining experience rather than min-maxing access to your wallet.

Sub-free games rely on exclusive cash shop items, boosts/buffs, and content packages to get money.
I would expect to see a move away from more clearly defined payment models to more homogeneous and custom models like is seen with TSW. I'm expecting to see somewhat more B2P titles for those that can get away with it. I'm also expecting to see games that rely solely on subscriptions to provide more than content churn - those that only provide the latter will either end up with a sub-free model or go the way of the dodo. Expect to see more sub-locked games have cash shops too because some people are willing to throw money at a monthly fee and buy the extras. Expect to see people justify the model they are most comfortable with and lambast the others as gouges, substandard, etc.

The amazing thing is that they've manage to convince so many younger (and some older) gamers that this is a good thing, partly through marketing it as "free to play" rather than "cash shop."

What is not good about a huge selection of games, and you can play at least part of everyone for free?
I wouldn't play a game that had that model because it's p2w
EDIT: (or at least that what so many people say when there is multiple payment models especially including a cash shop)
Ultimately, I wouldn't play because it offers greater rewards if a person is paying a subscription, and I won't pay a subscription. So I would be at a disadvantage to those people playing a subscription and therefore, I would rather play something which does not allow that payment model.
Note: Sorry I didn't get my edit in sooner, work was not forgiving today.

Pay to win = the act of buying items that are more powerful than what can be bought in game, with in-game currency.

Lets say 1 month is 15 bucks. I can see them charging more than 15 bucks for less a month if you choose to pay for less days instead. Trying to force players to sub every month. Here only the company wins, players lose. Whatever model they come up with should be a win/win (players/company)

I honestly think $15/month is not a big deal. I think when people argue against it, it's because they have reservations about the game and don't want to pay, which is absolutely reasonable. The point is, they probably wouldn't play for a long time even if the game were f2p.
Now there are gamers who like to play multiple MMOs so I can understand why they don't like subs. But again, those types of gamers tend to migrate from game to game, never involving themselves within the game's community. A perfectly fine way to play but I want something more substantial in my MMOs.
That's why I like subs. It's a committment, a small one but a committment nonetheless. I think it fosters a stronger community.
If you don't want to spend $15/month on a game, then you probably don't want to play anyways and even if you do, you'd probably quit quickly.

LOL. The Sub isn't going anywhere. It's going to stay put for games that warrant the purchase price. At this point I am willing to buy a game for $100 and pay a $20 a month sub just to get what I frickin want! I will play a game with all those sub options though. But I would prefer one where I am not stuck with people at any form of disadvantage. Your payment method is not detailed at all. You bring up points like classes and inventory slots, but where does it stop? How about respecs? You even bring up coin limitations. That is going to be crippling in any later game. And it is P2W if I am not inconvenienced with the burden of only carrying 10 items like the F2P guy, because I can carry 100 and thus sell/trade more with less trips/time wasted.
Besides, if the other F2P players are anything like the ones on this forum then I am glad that cash cows like me are letting all of their games die. They are cheapskate freeloaders that don't support the game in any fashion because they quit in the first month typically anyway. Of course, if you aren't like the representatives here, yet still a F2P player, then that doesn't apply to you lol.

For me there is no advantage to this payment method, give me a good game and I'm willing to pay a subscription. I don't want power or advancement sold in the game though, especially since I'm paying a subscription.
This is a subscription game with pay to win as far as I'm concerned.
Originally posted by Enerzeal
unfortunately it's another one of those terms that are open to interpretation. My interpretation of pay to win includes more types of payment models than just cash shop.
From a B2P perspective, if a person was allowed access to better gear (storage) by renting bank space or bag space, that I couldn't purchase in game, then that implies P2W. If a person gets the same thing from paying a subscription, I see no difference.

The best is not one subscription fee except in the cases of what is the best subscription model. The best is subjective to the individual, and though some might be willing to pay subscription, other might not.
I prefer B2P because I think P2P is a greedy cash grab with very little substance to justify the extra cost. Realize however, that my perspective is determined by how I play. Individual results may vary.

game is also real
no thanks
I think it will remove commercial freedom of each dev to decide which model to use.
as all seems fail to me I would rather have less games but great quality for 10-15$ per month and with option to visit your account (even if you can't do anything) when you out of sub.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.

NO and NO.
There has never been nor will there ever be a freemium game that makes more money than the better F2P games on the market. in fact, you cannot name any 2 freemium games that make more money combined than any one the better F2P games.
Freemium does not target the F2P market players, it targets players used to subscriptions but dont think the game is worth the money. It creates a player class system where the subscribers are the upper class, the premium players are the middle class, and the free players are the lower class.
And any SANE business will tell you that you NEVER treat one customer better than the other.
Either go F2P with a good cash shop or stop pretending that you are trying to do anything but save a dieing game by milking as much money as you can before you pull the life support.

I spoke with Bob at the beginning of the month concerning his dietary requirements to get a good start planning his menu. We do alot of really good things that will meet his needs but might also appeal to many of the other CarverFest devotees.
Since James and Dave are bringing some really serious shit this year my rig would be superfluous, I decided to (if it's ok with y'all) do alot of the cooking. I will be bringing 1 of my Lightstar amplfiers that needs lamps and meters repaired hoping I can get 'someone' to help me out with that.
I have some really good soups, both hot and cold that are really good. I've gotten really adept with appetizers like bruchetta, mussels in a white wine sauce, and we make a really great spinach dip. I plan to bring a table top deep fryer and a really good blender to do some of the work making the soups.
So if I can get a little help from the Kitchen Bitches we can do some really great things like we did in 2008.
I was thinking I'd like to do a Prime Rib breakfast with French Toast again. For one dinner, a Caesar Salad followed by a Beef Tenderloin in a white wine and Crab sauce with mixed vegetables sauteed in red wine, fresh garlic and olive oil and baby red potatoes served in butter and chives.
Second breakfast I*'d like to try something a little simpler and do Pancakes, sausage and eggs with a homemade syrup. Dinner might consist of an Eddie cut Rib-Eye marinated in a little Crown and roasted garlic, fresh asparagus smoked in olive oil and garlic and a roasted sweet potato topped in maple butter.
There will be plenty of my Seafood Bisque and a Carrot Cake or 2.
Let me know if this is OK with the masses.

You were asking about a meal at cabin #5 for the Friday party....I can not speak for all- but I am willing to man the grill and suggest we maybe keep it simple- ie: hot-dogs, hamburgers, chips and beer. We all all be tired after Friday's build day and don't think anyone will be able to leave early to get a head start cooking for the masses. Any thoughts?

|Jewish Culture Series | 2011-2012
The new YIVO Jewish Culture Series is an educational outreach program designed to introduce various aspects of Eastern Ashkenazic culture and history to the public. The faculty for the series draws on the extensive network of scholars affiliated with the YIVO Institute.
The four part lecture series that will be presented in 2011-2012 is a partnership of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and the Riverdale Temple. It is the first community outreach program for YIVO as it expands its educational initiatives.

"Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Babel, Philip Roth"
Jonathan Brent, YIVO Executive Director
Yiddish literature in turn-of-the-century Eastern Europe had a much greater impact on avant-garde world literature than is often thought. Its influence extended to America, as well. In this lecture, Dr. Brent will explore certain essential elements of Sholem Aleichem's stories that entered into the work of the great Russian-Jewish writer, Isaac Babel, and from Babel into the work of Philip Roth—from Yiddish to Russian to English—across not only radically distinct languages and cultures but across continents to the present day.
|SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012 | 2:00pm
"The Complicated World of Yiddish Folklore"
Itzik Gottesman, Associate Editor of the Yiddish Forward
On one hand, Yiddish folklore reveals the cultural uniqueness of the East European Jews before the Holocaust; on the other hand, it also shows common themes and genres that we find not only among other East European peoples, but among all European nations. With an emphasis on Yiddish folksong, folktale and custom, this talk will explore what Yiddish folklore has and does not have in common with other cultures around the world.
|SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 2012 | 2:00pm
"One Hundred Years Ago: A Tour of Jewish Life in Eastern Europe"
David Fishman, Professor of Jewish History, Jewish Theological Seminary
In this session, we will examine Jewish life and culture in Eastern Europe in 1912. Themes will include: Jewish life in the city and town (shtetl); Jewish relations with Russians, Poles and other Christians; Jewish political movements such as Zionism and the Jewish labor Bund; Jewish literature, press and theatre in Yiddish and Hebrew. The talk will feature a slide-show and music.
|SUNDAY, MAY 20, 2012 | 2:00pm
"History of the Yiddish Language"
Paul Glasser, Dean, Max Weinreich Center, YIVO
At its height, Yiddish was spoken from the North Sea in the west almost to the Caucasus in the east. Dr. Glasser will trace the history of Yiddish from its beginnings in western Europe through its expansion eastward and finally to its reaching the Americas, Asia and Africa with Jewish immigration.

UFC 156 results: Dana White says 'it looks like' Chris Weidman is next for Anderson Silva - Bloody Elbow
There's an old cliche about the USA always doing the right thing in the end, after we've tried every other possible option. Perhaps the same could be said of the UFC when it comes to booking fights for its Middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Tough up and comer Chris Weidman has been the rightful #1 contender since crushing Mark Munoz last July on a little seen UFC on Fuel TV event. But the UFC and Silva have explored every possible alternative. First Silva fought Stefan Bonnar at Light Heavyweight to salvage the UFC 153 card after Jose Aldo dropped out late due to injury.
Then there was a serious effort to push Welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre into a super fight against Silva. GSP wanted no part of it, so then speculation moved on to a Silva vs. Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones. But Jones' was already locked in to coaching The Ultimate Fighter and facing Chael Sonnen in April at UFC 159 so he would not likely be ready to face Silva in July.
Then it looked like former LHW champ Rashad Evans would be the next opponent for Silva, but he lost a decision in a snoozer against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira tonight at UFC 156 in Las Vegas.
So UFC president Dana White told assembled press at the post-presser media scrum that "it looks like Weidman" will get the next shot at Silva per Ariel Helwani's twitter.
Weidman's currently recovering from shoulder surgery but indications are that he may be ready for a July 4 fight.
As for Anderson Silva and his management, they've been just as interested in alternatives to facing the formidable but unknown Weidman as the UFC. At last count, Silva's manager Ed Soares said they would be open to that fight but only in Brazil.

For whatever reason, I haven't had jasmine pearls in a long time. They really are wonderful.
For whatever reason, I haven't had jasmine pearls in a long time. They really are wonderful.
I love tea. I first tasted loose leaf when my grandpa brought some back from Russia and I remember just savoring it. Not sure what kind it was; all I remember is that it was loose leaf and it was good. =)
I really enjoy oolong, jasmine tea, green tea, and white tea. I have been getting more into black tea, especially those with chocolate notes! Also, chai is a constant favorite.
As far as tisanes go, I enjoy chamomile and occasionally a mint. I am interested to try rooibus and honey bush. I do prefer teas without artificial flavoring but I'm willing to try most things.
I know next to nothing about puerh, but I like what I have tried so far.
I am consistently amazed at the flavors contained in one leaf. I am on a quest to discover all of them! Slowly, though. Good tea is expensive. :P
Other things I enjoy: Books. My family. Truth. Campfires. Animal Rescue. Gardening. Sushi. Mountain biking. Documentaries. Trees. Music. Culture. Sour cream raisin pie. Not necessarily in that order. :P

The annual 2014 Berkeley Stags Baseball Skills Camp was once again a rousing success, according to Stags baseball coach Landy Cox.
The camp has become an annual tradition for the Stags players and coaches.
Ive been back here at Berkeley now for five years and every year the camp seems to get bigger and better, Cox said of the 68 campers participating in this years skills camp. We had a perfect number of players this year with 68 players attending. Thats a good number of kids for our coaches to work with and I think weve gotten a lot of positive things accomplished here this week.
To watch the camp, its easy to see how The Berkeley Way has filtered down from the varsity level to the younger park and recreation age kids.
All were outfitted in the royal blue practice jerseys of the Berkeley Stags with Find A Way printed in gold on the backs of ballplayers throughout the camp.
We teach these kids the Berkeley Way of playing baseball, Cox said. You can see it in them early. They want to learn and they want to play this game our way.
And like his Stags varsity team, these kids can hit, catch and throw.
Cox praised the enthusiasm and support the community of Moncks Corner has shown his team.
Look at how this community and this school supports its baseball team, he said. These parents want their kids to learn our way of playing baseball and be coached by our current and former varsity baseball players.
Camp coaches were current Stags Brad Browder, Jordan Swiney, Joe Glauser, Zach Ganey and Chase Ganey, plus 2014 graduate Kyle Garrick, and alumni Brad Barwick and Owen Brittle.
Brittle coincidentally has joined the Stags coaching staff and will work with pitcher in 2015.
Im really excited to be back home at Berkeley, Brittle said, who spent the last two seasons serving as a Hanahan assistant. Im really looking forward to working with next years baseball team.
Camp winners in the skills competition were:
13-14 age group:
Home run winner: Brant Bayless.
Long Toss winners: Eric Tuttle and Steele Judy.
Speed: Brant Bayless.
11-12 age group
Home run: Mason Desmond. Long toss: Mason Desmond and Jackson Weathers.
Speed: Eric green.
10 age group:

Earlier this month, we had had the distinguished pleasure of celebrating GoGrid's international expansion to EMEA by hosting a party with Equinix in Amsterdam. Europe has been more than hospitable to our new European team, and this event was no exception.
This was my 4th visit to our Amsterdam HQ and data center and I'm truly excited to see the traction within the European community and the adoption by those European companies seeing value in multiple global points of presences.
The location of the event was at a converted auto shop which is now a cool new restaurant and lounge, it still had some stylish remnants of its past – including an actual Ferrari in the center of the room! This venue turned out to be the ideal location for our welcoming party.
The turnout to the event was great. GoGrid received a warm welcome from over 100 different partners and customers as well as some of the top international companies who also have expanded to Europe. Having a casual atmosphere in which to discuss technology services, the importance and adoption of cloud computing within Europe and the direction it is going globally definitely set the stage for some powerful conversations.
But, it wouldn't have been a party if we didn't have a guest speaker. Comedian, Greg Shapiro, was perfect for the event. Shapiro is also from the US but now makes a living in the Netherlands. His antics and insights on transitioning cultures made for a fun and enjoyable evening. Greg Shapiro is top notch and we highly recommend him to anybody looking for a sharp speaker who understands both a US and European audience.

Chesapeake student spells way to win
IRONTON -- Emily Neal, a fifth-grader at Chesapeake Middle School, won the Lawrence County spelling bee Wednesday when she correctly spelled "depilatory."
Depilatory is a noun that means an agent for removing hair.
Neal was among 14 students participating in the spelling bee Wednesday at Ironton Municipal Court, said Yvonne Stroud, gifted and talented supervisor for the Lawrence County Educational Service Center.
Holli Leep, a fifth-grade student at Fairland West Elementary School, finished second.
Each school district can send up to two students to the county spelling bee, Stroud said. Two of the students who qualified were sick Wednesday and didn't participate, she said. Students from the fourth though eighth grade can participate in the spelling bee.
The school winners and runners up can participate in a monitored, online spelling test at their school next month, Stroud said. The winner will advance to a regional spelling bee at Athens, Ohio, in March, she said.
It is the second year the online test will determine which county winners will advance to the regional spelling bee after the Ohio Lottery stopped its sponsorship of the state spelling bee.

Below you will find all the active sections for your organization created on the AdminSports management site and synchronized to your client site. Just to be clear, a section is a colletion of teams that fall under the Programs you created in the AdminSports Administration menu. After your team formation as you group your teams into playable groups you create Sections. The system inherits certain properties from the Programs and you can essentially consider a Section the Child of a Program.
If you believe that a section is missing, first synchronize the teams, and then examine your AdminSports Configuration Site to validate if it is present. Finally, contact your AdminSports account manager to resolve any discrepancies.
Section Coordinators will be able to contact all members (coaches, parents) for the Teams underneath their assignment. It's not unusual to have a Program Coordinator/Section Coordinator in charge of multiple programs and sections. To assign a coordinator, use the auto-complete text field and type the Section Coordinator's Name
You only need to set times for those Sections marked Yes under the Build column on the table below. Those marked No will not be built, and don't require any further entries.
You update the build status on the Review Programs page, changing the default Building Schedule from No to Yes. You should then select the Schedule Type. Once this is in place, you need to determine the standard START and STOP time for the games for that section (i.e. Girls/9 1/A Start 9:00 am - Stop 10:00 am, Girls/10 Start 10:30 am - Stop 11:30 am).
A keystone to the scheduling module, we need to know how long will the teams be using the fields, from pre-game to end-game. This way, we reserve the field properly. Enter this value in minutes.
If there is no data above this line - Build Sections
