Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: Cane come back
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
You arent the only one. Many of his fans have stopped watching. I also think that many of the Shick fans have to. So MAB has two angry fan bases to deal with I wonder how bad it will get. I am not coming back to Y&R until CAne reappears alive and well.
Quote WATSOCA: When will Cane come back?? I miss him.
Please don't come back. How ridiculous is it that someone can just waltz their way into someone's life; posing as a long lost son, and the mother (Jill) doesn't even know this guy is a fraud because she hadn't seen her baby in many, many years (what happened to motherly instinct?), and just accept him?
Then she and the rest of the family realize he is a fraud when the real son returns, and they still embrace the fraud as their own family member. It's all just so crazy. Katherine not really being Jill's mother, and Katherine has her own long lost son, Tucker, show up at the door. Then the fraud dies, supposedly, and everyone is just embracing his life as it was something celebratory. Any other family would had kicked Cane to the curb after being a fraud.

Candra Malik & Fidelis E Satriastanti
Yogyakarta. Mount Merapi has broken its own record after erupting nonstop for more than 24 hours, and geologists are now calling this episode the mountain's worst since the 1870s.
After erupting and spewing heat clouds since Wednesday morning, the mountain unleashed its most extreme volcanic activity yet on Thursday, sending ash seven kilometers into the air.
Geologists said Thursday's eruption at 5:55 a.m. was five times stronger that the initial eruption on Oct. 26, which lasted only 33 minutes.
Having erupted almost daily for 10 days, Surono, head of the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency (PVMBG), said this episode was considered Merapi's worst eruption since the 1870s.
The 1872 eruption, which until now had been considered Merapi's most violent in recent history, destroyed 13 villages and killed 1,400 people.
Later on Thursday, Surono said the heat clouds were spreading as far as 11.5 kilometers from the crater, dangerously near the edge of the expanded 15-kilometer danger zone, and lava was flowing into the mountain's rivers.
"The heat clouds are moving more freely since Mount Merapi's marathon eruptions, destroying houses, trees and anything else in the way," he said.
"The temperature of the heat clouds is 600 to 800 degrees Celsius. Anyone who does not flee from the disaster zone will not be safe."
Surono also called on people to keep a safe distance from rivers flowing from the slopes of Mount Merapi.
Heavy rain overnight triggered lahars, mixtures of water and rock debris, that cascaded down the Kuning, Gendol, Woro, Boyong, Krasak and Opak rivers on the slopes of the volcano, destroying a bridge and riverbanks.
"We're concerned about public safety because there have been lahar flows and this can lead to flooding if they exceed the capacity of those rivers," Surono said.
Raden Sukhyar, chief of the geology department at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, said there was still no indication when the eruptions would end.
"We still cannot ensure that the extreme catastrophic events on Thursday will mark a decrease in activity of Mount Merapi," he said.
"We're not going to drop its status from the highest alert because we don't know when the eruptions will end."
The eruptions have forced the residents of 32 villages within the disaster zone to evacuate.
Central Java's governor, Bibit Waluyo, said more than 62,000 people from Magelang, Klaten and Boyolali districts had been forced from their homes, while Sri Purnomo, head of Sleman district in Yogyakarta, said his area had more than 22,000 evacuees.
The geologists warned that the dangers posed by the volcano extended beyond the people in the immediate danger zone.
Sukhyar said the volcano had spewed more than 50 million cubic meters of ash, sand and gravel.
"The winds tend to move to the west, taking volcanic ash toward Magelang, but it can spread anywhere depending on the wind direction," he said.
Transportation Minister Freddy Numberi, speaking in Jakarta, said he had instructed airlines to direct all flights crossing Java to the north or south to avoid Merapi. "We have already prepared alternative routes for all flights," he said.
"It may cost more and use up more fuel, but safety comes first."
At least one hajj flight from Solo to Batam is known to have had engine trouble related to volanic ash.
Herry Bakti Gumay, director general of air transportation, said they had issued a warning last week to all airline operators with flights into Yogyakarta and would not withdraw it until conditions returned to normal.
However, the minister said airports in Yogyakarta, Solo and Semarang would remain open.
"If the ash covers the runways, then we will need to close them," Freddy said.
"But they can be reopened after cleaning, which would take just a few hours."

Sometimes, I substitute a leather jacket for a work blazer or I switch in my black leather pencil skirt for my all-purpose wool one. Leather can be an unexpected way to add a bit of rocker chic into your work wardrobe. But in more professional environs, a little goes a long way.
That's why I am so glad that leather-trim skirts, dresses and blazers are blowing up this season. Because who couldn't use a little Stephen Tyler-esque attitude on an otherwise staid Monday? Just don't get caught humming "Walk This Way" in the staff meeting.

The Huddersfield striker agreed a three-month loan deal last week, but the Reds will wait a further seven days so he will be eligible for the rest of the campaign.
Spencer will therefore miss the game against Carlisle on Saturday but should be available for the trip to Sheffield United on January 26 if the 21-year-old overcomes his current knee injury.
Boss Richie Barker told the Crawley Observer: "We've put it back a week so that it ends on the final day of the season.
"We wouldn't half have egg on our faces if we find he has a lot of goals and we get to the last day of the season needing something and he's not available."
Barker also confirmed he has fielded "an enquiry" about striker John Akinde, currently out of favour at Broadfield after making just 10 appearances this term.

With the God of War Collection and the Sly Cooper Collection, Sony has established a line of PlayStation 3 compilations of older games given a new HD sheen and outfitted with modern amenities like trophies and, in the case of Sly, stereoscopic 3D support. Signs are increasingly pointing to a Team Ico collection as the next installment in that line, as Wal-Mart has begun accepting preorders for just such a title on its Web site.
This is the second major retailer to offer such a product for sale. In July, the French site of Amazon listed a "Team Ico Collection" with an expected June 2011 release date and a price tag of €70 ($90). The Wal-Mart listing offers better news for eager fans of the developer, with the game expected to arrive earlier (April 2011), and substantially cheaper ($40).
This week's Tokyo Game Show could be a big one for Team Ico fans. Whether or not an official announcement of this collection is imminent, the developer's next title, The Last Guardian, is expected to be on display in some form. Last month, Team Ico head Fumito Ueda said the studio was hoping to show "something" regarding its next project at the open-to-the-public convention.
Released in September of 2001, Ico cast players as a horned youth who had to escort a princess safely from her prison. His task was complicated both by the princess's comparatively limited agility and by the fact that the two protagonists didn't speak the same language.
Four years later, Team Ico's Shadow of the Colossus followed a young warrior who had brought his fallen love to a faraway temple in the hopes of restoring her to health. According to a mysterious presence that dwelled within the temple's walls, the only way to save this girl was to hunt down and destroy the 16 massive beasts that roamed the surrounding lands.

Google Map of Worldwide School Shootings
School shootings occupy headlines whenever they take place, wherever they take place. They remove the innocence from the educational learning environment, strike fear into people and shortly after make people wonder why they happened at all. When these events take place typically recent shooting incidents are mentioned. Virender Ajmani's Recent Worldwide School Shootings Map helps to point out where these events have taken place from as far back as February of 1996. He has combined the Google Maps API with data taken from Infoplease. He shows you the location and date along with the culprit and the victim(s) in each incident. Let's hope no more pins need to be added to this map..

Welcome to Hugh Laurie Fan, an unofficial website exclusively dedicated to supporting and promoting the career of British actor Hugh Laurie. You will find the latest news, pictures and media. Your input and contributions are always Welcome! ~ The Staff
Unlike Dr. Gregory House, the brash and brainy character he portrayed on the hit TV medical drama "House," British actor and musician Hugh Laurie wants to make sure he won't ruffle any feathers when he comes to play his first-ever Nashville concert at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Sunday, October 13.
"An Englishman coming to Nashville and singing 'The Tennessee Waltz' – do people reach for rotten fruit and firearms, or do they take that in the proper spirit?" he asks The Tennessean.
Laurie talks of his impending Nashville visit with the utmost respect ("It's a holy city for music"), but it was his reverence for another musical town – New Orleans – that fueled this year's "Didn't It Rain," his second collection of classic blues covers. It's a sound that's spoken to Laurie all his life, ever since "around age 7 or 8" when he first heard bluesman Willie Dixon.
Calling from Vancouver – where's he's filming the buzzed-about Disney film "Tomorrowland" – Laurie told us about that lifelong love of blues and classic country, and how his musical chops have found their way into his roles over the years.
We were thrilled to hear a couple of months back that you were coming to town – and making your Nashville debut.
It'll be more of a thrill for me. Not that that's the point of it. I mean, I realize the point of this exercise is not to give me a thrill, it's to give the audience a thrill, but nonetheless, I can't deny I'm very, very excited about the prospect.
The prospect of playing in Nashville, Tennessee, specifically?
It's a holy city for music, and I've never been there. This will be my first time, and I can't wait. I'm treading on holy ground.
You take a lot of inspiration from another musical city – New Orleans – and traditional blues and jazz. When did you first hear that music, from any era, and how did it connect with you?
I was very young. I don't remember exactly – that's how young I was. It was an age before one cared about one's age. But I'm guessing at about age 7 or 8, and I heard a record on the radio, and I had this idea, I don't know why. I think it was (blues musician) Willie Dixon. From that moment on, I was just sold.
"Sold," that doesn't really cover it. I've got to be careful, because I know I'm heading for a very religious part of the world. I'd better not call it a divine revelation. It was like a thunder bolt, and I'm still shuddering from it even now, 50-odd years later, and will for the rest of my life. I'm not suddenly going to get into hip-hop, I can pretty much guarantee that.
While we're talking about Nashville: any classic country sounds that found their way to you, and did they inspire you at all?
Oh, yeah. Well, actually, I need to ask your advice. An Englishman coming to Nashville and singing "The Tennessee Waltz" – do people reach for rotten fruit and firearms, or do they take that in the proper spirit?
I think they'll love it – it's one of our state songs.
It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Well, that's good to know, because that has been a favorite of mine, ever since I was a child. I know a million people have done it, but we actually recorded it for the album, and then I sort of slightly lost my nerve, because again, that's a holy song, and I had a slight feeling of maybe trespassing. I know I'm trespassing anyway. But we did record it, and I absolutely love that tune.
You know, Hank Williams was always a hero of mine. There's something about what appears to be the simplicity of what he does. It's so deceptive, because anyone else tries to do it, and suddenly, they realize it isn't that simple. Or at least, simple isn't the same as easy. Robert Johnson, I think, is similar, in that people think, 'Oh yeah, I know what he's doing there.' Well, no. It just so happens that nobody else can do it. Nobody can do Robert Johnson, and nobody can do Hank Williams. There's something about guys like that. It's unique, and all one can do, I suppose, is pay a kind of service to the songs themselves, rather than the artist.
You've mentioned two guitar players, so I wonder what made you gravitate towards the piano, versus other instruments?
It's a good point. I suppose, well, besides the obvious thing of – I like sitting down – although a lot of Nashville players play guitar sitting down…
Yeah, some of them have a pretty sweet deal here.
Exactly. I never saw myself as the guy up in front. I never saw myself as a guitar hero when all of my friends were either playing real guitars or air guitar. That wasn't how I saw myself. I saw myself more at the back, just noodling along on the piano. I suppose there was a strange thing that happened. When I was listening to Muddy Waters, the more I listened to his records, the more I found myself picking out what (Waters' piano player) Otis Spann was doing. Brilliant piano player though he was, he was very often deep in the mix, so it was quite hard to hear what he was doing. I just found my ear going to that, and trying to figure out why what he did sounded so great and touched me so deeply. I don't really know why it is, but the piano just caught my ear. Maybe I just felt like there are enough guitarists in the world.
And if you play the piano and can sing, you're a one-man show. But you'll be bringing a band with you to Nashville?
Boy, I'm coming mob handed. I'm coming with the great Copper Bottom Band, who I sort of half-ironically refer to on stage as "The Greatest Band in the World," but it's only half-ironic because they are unbelievably great. I know you hear unbelievably great musicians every night of the week in Nashville, but I put these guys up without any doubt, I have every confidence that they'll prove equal to the task. I'm the shaky guy in the outfit. I'm the big faker who's trying to get away with it, but they are unbelievably great. There are seven of them, so we're eight on stage. We make a good, fat sound.
You've shown your musical side on "House," "Saturday Night Live," and well before that on British television. I wondered if throughout your acting career, you've tried to find ways to work music in.
You know, I'm not conscious of that. Maybe I did. Maybe there was a little voice, sort of saying, "Why don't you suggest a piano…" but I don't think I did that. I remember, particularly with "House," there was a very conscious effort in the beginning, the character was very deliberately, consciously modeled on Sherlock Holmes, who had that obsession with the violin. I always thought that a musical expression of the character was an interesting element. As with Sherlock Holmes, you have this brain that appears to be ruthlessly logical and rational, and yet it also has this sort of romantic side to it. There is some part of that brain that needs to express itself or converse with itself through music.
I couldn't play the violin, and even if I could, that might have been too direct an allusion to Sherlock Holmes. But I did think that music was an interesting element to "House," partially because music conforms in some ways to the rational side of that character. It's a mathematical, physical thing, but also it's improvisational and it's creative and it expressed a sort of longing in the character of "House" that maybe he didn't dare express in words.
And if it wasn't voice inside your head telling you to suggest music, surely there were people around you saying, "Hey Hugh, here's a piano – how about a song?"
I think it did appeal to the writers a little bit. I remember years and years before, with my friend Stephen Fry, we'd done these P.G. Wodehouse stories (the "Jeeves and Wooster" British television series). And the guy who produced that show had done the "Hercule Poirot" series, which was set in the same period. He had decided that to fill an hour, the script needed to be 61-and-a-half pages long. It so happened, we discovered in the first week that we were going about 10 percent faster than they were, and so the first show we did, he realized that we were short by about four minutes. They were scratching their heads thinking, "We don't have a show. How can we fill four minutes? I know, we'll get the guy to sit at the piano and sing a song." So I wound up singing on the series, basically because I talk too fast. That was the price I paid for talking fast. I had to sing a song every week – which I loved, by the way. And it went on from there.
You've been a musician all your life, but perhaps being a touring musician is a new development. Does that life suit you – being on the road, seeing the world?
I absolutely love it. I'm like a kid on the bus. I've got eyes like saucers, and I can't believe it. We do a show, we get on the bus, we drink some whiskey, we wake up the next morning and we're in a different city, a different part of the world. It's all of my dreams coming true. For the rest of the guys, the band I'm playing with, they're a very, very experienced band, and some of them have been doing it 30, 40 years. So maybe the romance has slightly worn off for them, and they're just thinking about laundry. That's the big issue. But for me, it's the biggest and best adventure there is.
You'll be in Nashville soon, but worlds have already found a way of colliding. One of our residents, Tim McGraw, is in the upcoming Disney film "Tomorrowland," which I hear you're also a part of. I'm not sure what you can say, but are you looking forward to the experience?
They have a gun to my head, and I'm not allowed to say a damn word about. I'm actually in Vancouver now, shooting for that movie. I heard that he was going to be in this, I heard yesterday. I haven't met him yet, but I hope I will. All I will dare say is that it is a very, very exciting project, and so far, we're about a third of the way through now, I think. I am cautiously optimistic. Things are going well. That's no guarantee of anything, but it's a very clever, and interesting bunch of people working on this movie – of whom I am not one, by the way, I'm not sure I qualify. But they're a very interesting bunch, and the movie's going very well, and I'm really looking forward to meeting him. It's going to be really interesting.
About an hour into my encounter with Hugh Laurie, in a suite at the Dorchester in London, he starts protesting at length about how boring his answers to my questions are. He had been talking – rather interestingly – about his theory that television, rather than film, was the medium through which the US "not just projects its image of itself to the world, but actually decides what its image is. It's America's way of conversing with itself about what it believes to be important."
He has just finished telling me that he doesn't think British TV is as interested in expressing grand ideas about identity and purpose – "I think that's a bit highfalutin for us" – when he suddenly brings himself up short. This is all so boring that he is boring himself, he says. He gestures towards the iPhone on which I'm recording the interview. "If I get any duller," he sighs, "I think your phone might actually go: 'Fuck it, I'm not recording this. Really this application is designed to record things of value. I mean, the assumption was you weren't just going to record a man scratching his arse. Because if that's what you're going to do, I'm quitting. Scramble. Escape.'"
This kind of thing is supposed to be par for the course when you interview Laurie. He famously loathes talking to journalists almost as much as he hates being photographed, and his attitude to being photographed would impress a 19th-century Native American: "I really do believe the camera steals the soul. But that may be because I'm worried about my soul. I don't have much of a soul to begin with, I can't afford to lose much." That said, his aversion to being photographed has not precluded him becoming the "spokesmodel" for L'Oreal's male skincare range. "Proudly so!" he says, explaining he uses the money to fund a variety of charitable projects in Africa and claiming he doesn't really know what being a spokesmodel entails: "I made a commercial and I was photographed, I did a poster once. I'll presumably have to do that again. If you're going to ask me questions about skincare, there's not much I can tell you. Don't rub a cheese grater up and down your cheeks. That would be my advice. Don't dunk your face in engine oil or other caustic substances. I don't know anything about it. They sort of ask you to do this thing and you go: 'You're out of your fucking mind, not in a billion years would I consider such a thing.' Then, as they tell you it's a great deal of money, the thought crosses your mind: 'With that money I could build a school in Senegal.' And then you can't say no. Because if you do say no, what you're saying is that your public pose is more important than people getting a school in Senegal or polio vaccinations in Uganda or whatever. You can't do that. You just can't."
Still, he once compared talking to the press to putting his testicles on a chopping board – and, judging by his past interviews, it almost invariably turns into an exercise in caustic self-deprecation and soul-searching, which journalists tend to take as symptomatic of a deeper malaise. Laurie has struggled with depression in the past, and seems big on depicting himself as a man who feels guilty about his apparently undeserved success, who doesn't much enjoy being famous (something of a problem given his eight-year tenure as the titular star of House, which ended last year but at its peak was the most-watched TV show in the world, distributed to 66 countries and for which he commanded £250,000 an episode, getting him in Guinness World Records as the highest-paid actor ever in a TV drama), for whom life was "a gradually descending mist of confusion and doubt" and whose "version of happiness consists of not being happy".
The thing is, today at least, he does not seem much like that at all. He does react a little suspiciously when I say I like his new album, Didn't It Rain, a follow-up to 2011′s Let Them Talk, on which he once again performs classic blues songs, music he says he has loved since childhood. "Thank you for saying that, I'm very relieved," he begins, before frowning. "Well, if you mean it. You have to say that otherwise it's going to be awkward, isn't it? 'Heard your album, sort of hated it. Anyway, my first question.' It's a difficult way to kick off, I suppose."
Then again he seems genuinely startled by Let Them Talk's success, perhaps with good reason. Actors who parlay their fame into recording careers rarely have as smooth a ride as Laurie seems to have done. Despite a case of nerves in the studio that could be stayed only with "proper and sensible applications of whisky and beta-blockers and picking the right people to be around you – people who, even if they are rolling their eyes and going 'What a wanker', at least have the grace to do it behind your back", Let Them Talk was both well-reviewed and big-selling. He says he didn't read what anybody wrote about it – "it seems to me if you want to be protected from the unpleasant stuff, you can't go just reading the good stuff, that seems wrong" – but he can't have missed the gold albums and the sold-out tours. "I know that it did all right, and I was surprised by it. When people buy a ticket, that I sort of understand, it says my name on it and they've watched the television show, and they think: 'Ah well, if nothing else, we'll see the bloke off the TV.' But buying a record, you don't get that, you don't get the visual. So I was very, very surprised that people were able to make the sort of adjustment. Because, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I would." He thinks for a moment. "For example, Clive Dunn," he says, a little unexpectedly. "Splendid. Clive Dunn, as I understand it, retired to the south of Spain, where he worked extensively in watercolours. I don't own any of Clive Dunn's watercolours. I loved him in Dad's Army, loved him. But not enough to actually seek out his watercolour work."
For the past 50 years RMS Queen Mary, launched in 1934 and the pride of the Cunard fleet, has been berthed at Long Beach, California. There she caters to tourists seeking a nostalgic whiff of the glory days of the ocean-going liners. Restaurants, bars, hotel accommodation and Anglocentric museum exhibitions (currently on show, Diana: Legacy of a Princess) draw in visitors by the thousands.
On a spring night shortly before Easter, the music room of the Queen Mary is, then, an appropriate location to host the rebirth of Hugh Laurie.
The 53-year-old Englishman is something close to acting royalty. Cambridge Footlights, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster – they don't come much funnier, or better-loved, than the well-spoken, intelligent comedian, actor and one-time author (his novel, The Gun Seller, was published in 1996).
And Laurie's screen work isn't cherished only on this side of the Atlantic. Beginning in 2004 he starred as the titular doctor in eight seasons of the hit medical drama House, and became a huge star in the US. Indeed, his portrayal of the brilliant but pain-racked, pill-popping and misanthropic diagnostic physician at a teaching hospital was a hit almost everywhere. In 2011 the Guinness Book of Records anointed him the world's most watched leading man on television, tallying 81.8 million viewers in 66 countries. His portrayal of Dr Gregory House won two Golden Globes and was nominated for six Emmys. Little wonder that Laurie was handsomely remunerated: £250,000 per episode.
Odder still for those of us who fondly remember him as Blackadder III's thick Prince Regent, or as PG Wodehouse's bumbling toff Bertie Wooster, Laurie also metamorphosed into a middle-aged object of desire for legions of American fans. But becoming an unexpected heartthrob wasn't Laurie's only remarkable midlife feat of reinvention.
He is now a musician, too. A successful one at that. In 2011 Laurie released his first album. Let Them Talk was a collection of blues standards such as St James Infirmary and John Henry, with Laurie applying a careworn voice, decent piano-playing skills and a lifelong passion for the genre to a set of vintage songs, many of them originating in the Mississippi delta. It sold a million copies worldwide and Laurie and his Copper Bottom Band undertook an international tour in support of it, spending six months on the road in Europe, America, South America and Russia.
Now, exactly one year since Dr House finally put away his stethoscope and walking stick – the series had run its course, and Laurie had had his fill of fronting such a massive TV show – Laurie is launching a second blues album, Didn't It Rain, with a concert aboard the Queen Mary.
For the new album he gave himself a fresh mission statement: 'I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy.'
But he insists that he is as surprised as anyone that he is being allowed to do this again. Tell him that his debut made him a Top 40 recording artist in 20 different countries worldwide and his eyebrows give a positively Wodehousian waggle. 'Is that what I did? I didn't even know that. Bloody hell. See, I didn't know what releasing a record was like. I didn't know what was supposed to happen. When people say, "You've done 12,000 this week in the Netherlands," I don't know what that means. I felt like we were doing some good live shows, and I was very proud of the record. But I didn't really know what people would make of it. And still don't know what people make of it…'
In front of a small audience of invited guests and lucky fans, Laurie presents songs from Let Them Talk and Didn't It Rain. He is dressed in ruffled peach shirt and naval cap, like a rather louche 1970s sailor. Or, as he jokes, like a character from The Poseidon Adventure. He is backed by a small band, a three-piece horn section and two female backing vocalists. For well over an hour, Laurie plays piano with grimacing gusto, strums acoustic guitar in a blissful reverie, sings with throaty conviction and dances a giddy tango with one of the singers, Gaby Moreno, who's rather like a Guatemalan Edith Piaf.
'This is emotional for me,' he says at one point, explaining that in 1975 a personal hero, the late New Orleans singer and pianist Professor Longhair, played in this very room at a party thrown by Paul McCartney and Wings. The resulting album, Live on the Queen Mary, had a profound impact on the 19-year-old Laurie. 'It changed everything for me.'
And now, here he is, playing the same room, with some stellar musicians, singin' the blues. 'I feel like a Saudi Arabian playboy who's been given the keys to a Ferrari he's had no training in.' He grins. 'But I'm loving it.'
The next morning, Laurie is to be found in a light-filled suite in a beachfront hotel in Santa Monica. Since House finished last year he has, he 'supposes', relocated back to London, although he recorded Didn't It Rain, like its predecessor, in LA. 'The strange thing – and this is one of the advantages of being incredibly shallow and superficial – is that wherever I am, that's sort of home,' he says.
'I get back to Heathrow and within 10 minutes of going along the M4 I feel like I've never left England. I get here and within 10 minutes of going along La Cienega, I feel like I've never been away. But that, as I say, is because I'm very shallow.'
Laurie has just finished a meeting with a man from BBC Radio 2, with whom he's making a series about the various highways and byways travelled by American blues. He also filmed an ITV documentary, Perspectives, about the recording of Didn't It Rain. He faces three whole days of back-to-back interviews with reporters from almost every corner of the globe. If only he had sold fewer units in fewer territories, I tell him in the language of this new business in which he finds himself, he and his wife, Jo (a textiles and fabric designer), might have made it back to London and their three children (aged 19, 22 and 24) in time for the Easter weekend.
'Yeah, I had to go and…' Laurie begins with a rueful smile. 'See, everything brings its own punishment and reward.' He pauses while he pours a cup of coffee, then sits down, frowning. 'That's miserable, isn't it, substituting "units" for "records" and "territories" for "countries". Why, why, why?' he laments, only half-joking. 'Somebody wrote to me the other day, saying I had to write liner [sleeve] notes for the Deluxe Package [version of Didn't It Rain],' he continues. 'I said, "Oh, please, I don't even know what you're talking about. But whatever it is, can we not refer to it as a Deluxe Package?" I don't want to have anything to do with a Deluxe Package.'
Laurie's speaking style can be ponderous, often Eeyore-ishly so. As often as he curls out a wonderfully loquacious paragraph, he also fails to complete sentences. But he seems especially rusty this morning. Perhaps it's the hangover, from both the stress of the first public performance of songs from Didn't It Rain, and from the patently potent Guatemalan rum he was merrily imbibing on stage. '——- hell, that stuff!' he exclaims. 'Halfway through that glass I thought, either I'm not used to rum or I'm actually having a minor stroke here. Delicious, obviously. Not unpleasant as strokes go.' A pause, and a fleeting look of panic as he realises what he has just said. 'That's terrible, don't, don't…' he grimaces, the sentence again hanging unfinished.
I saw Laurie's first public concert, in New Orleans' French Quarter, in March 2011. I saw him at London's Union Chapel a few months later, then at a tiny LA club a few months after that. I spoke with him on all three occasions, and I know how tense he is before and after performances. I ask him now: is there yet sufficient distance from last night's premiere for him to have enjoyed the show? 'No,' he says flatly. 'I woke up about every hour of the night, shuddering at the memory of some stupid thing I said or did, or some clanger I played on the piano. Which I've compressed into a sort of negative Director's Cut.'
'Hugh is always self-deprecating,' says Joe Henry, the American producer, singer, songwriter and blues aficionado who has shepherded both of Laurie's albums. 'That's the way he processes his artistry about anything he's taking on. Because he wants it to be great. That's all he wants.'
Laurie's first exposure to the blues came when he was aged 11 or 12. Willie Dixon's I Can't Quit You Baby 'made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up'. He was hooked. The first album he bought was Muddy Waters's Live (At Mr Kelly's), soon followed by that Professor Longhair Queen Mary recording. He grew up in a middle-class household in Oxford, the Eton-educated youngest of four (his father was a GP, his mother a housewife).
At Cambridge University his passion for music metamorphosed into skilled comic performances – he was a Footlights contemporary of his future professional partner Stephen Fry and his one-time girlfriend Emma Thompson. But even though this was the latter days of punk and the early days of alternative comedy, it was an older, more distant musical form that captivated Laurie.
He acknowledged the surreal oddness – the sacrilege, even – of his taking on the blues in a note on his website before the release of Let Them Talk. 'I was not born in Alabama in the 1890s,' Laurie wrote. 'You may as well know this now. I've never eaten grits, cropped a share, or ridden a boxcar. No gipsy woman said anything to my mother when I was born and there's no hellhound on my trail, as far as I can judge. Let this record show that I am a white, middle-class Englishman, openly trespassing on the music and myth of the American south.' As pre-emptive strikes go against those who might accuse him of dilettantism, it was a good one.
In adulthood, in his first career, Laurie remained musical and impassioned, but only tangentially. He wrote comic songs for him and his friend and collaborator Stephen Fry to perform. In fact, as he tells the audience aboard the Queen Mary, the theme tune to A Bit of Fry & Laurie was Professor Longhair's Mardi Gras in New Orleans. But it was in music that Laurie sought refuge off-screen, playing the piano daily, listening to his old vinyl religiously. Explaining what the blues does for him, he says, 'There is something soothing about explaining away the troubles of the day.' Still, it would take Dr Gregory House's occasional musings on the piano to catalyse Laurie's rebirth as a proper musician.
Conrad Withey, the London-based president of Warner Music Entertainment and a House fan, spotted Laurie's onscreen proficiency on the keys. Learning of Laurie's love of the blues, in 2010 Withey made him an offer he couldn't refuse: the chance to record his own album. Joe Henry (who also assembled Laurie's band) was among the first to experience how much this opportunity meant to Laurie.
'It was clear that Hugh was dedicated to making music that was alive and could stand on its own,' he says of their initial meeting at Henry's LA home. He was not interested in it being a vanity project… And by the way,' Henry adds, 'not a single one of the musicians regarded him as anything other than a great and fellow musician. Nobody thinks of him as this poseur movie star making a record. His devotion and his craft are authentic.' In fact, he says, 'Hugh has a much more broad comprehensive knowledge of historic blues recordings than I do. And I've been listening to that music like a religious zealot since I was 14 or 15.'
Repeat any of that approbation to Laurie and he'd probably implode in mortified gratitude. But what he will admit to is getting supreme satisfaction from playing music. More so than from acting? 'I get much more direct, immediate, sensual pleasure out of doing it,' he says, nodding. 'I mean, it has similarities [to acting] – and sometimes even worse technical aspects to it, where you think, "Oh God, I wanted to do this but I didn't execute it right."'
In that regard, House was the gift that kept on taking: a dream role, but one that came with a price. Playing a character mired in bleakness for eight years couldn't help but hang heavy on Laurie – not least because he has previous experience of depression (he underwent psychotherapy in the mid-1990s) and especially because his family had for the most part stayed in Britain while he was based in LA for nine months each year. 'I didn't really realise that at the time,' he says. 'But it was having an effect. There was something dark and tortured and painful and lonely about that character. And maybe I'm a little bit less of those things now that I'm not representing it every day.'
Laurie has by no means given up on acting. He was due to take the lead in Crossbones, an American drama about pirates, until the filming dates clashed with the touring plans for Didn't It Rain. He is filming Tomorrowland this summer, a dystopian sci-fi epic directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles) playing a baddie opposite George Clooney. This year will also see him complete work on The Canterville Ghost, a British animation that features Stephen Fry. Later in the year, meanwhile, should see the release of Mr Pip, an adaptation of the best-selling 2006 novel by Lloyd Jones that Laurie shot in Papua New Guinea shortly before filming the last season of House. 'My favourite thing about the shoot,' its director Andrew Adamson remembers, 'was that the [daily] call-sheet said, "Hugh Laurie: own transportation". That's because Hugh canoed to set.'
For all his fame, accomplishments and polymathic talents, Hugh Laurie's got the blues, inside him and around him. No wonder he is, against type and against the odds, rather good at it. 'The physical pleasure of actually making sounds, hearing other people make sounds, responding to the sound they're making – there's just nothing like it,' he sighs. On Didn't It Rain he takes the occasional vocal back seat to the singers Moreno and 'Sista' Jean McClain. 'To sit back at the end of The Weed Smoker's Dream,' he says of the 1930s tune covered on the album, 'and watch Gaby finish that last verse and let that last note tail away…' Laurie beams with pleasure. 'That's exquisite for me. Actually,' he offers, 'I realised last night that my goal might be to be standing in the back, watching it. It's probably more fun doing that than playing it. So maybe that's my dream,' he says, chuckling, 'to do a show but not be in it.'
When one thinks of the films of Andrew Adamson, the first ones that come to mind are the SHREK movies and the first two NARNIA films, but his newest feature, starring British thespian Hugh Laurie is a different bag altogether, and the step up is impressive. MR. PIP is one of those films that will have you thinking about it long after. You will revel in the fact that you enjoyed it, that you were disturbed by it, but mostly that it was a VERY relevant story about a VERY real situation that happened, that through our own hubris, Western society was the cause of. No matter how much we wish to look the other way, the cause of this strife was a copper mine in Bouganville near the isle of Papa New Guinea. That makes this an important film. But what really made it sing was the fact that it was beautifully shot, but at the same time utterly visceral and difficult to stomach. We are certainly not used to seeing such things and being aware of the fact that they take place on this planet, even though should be front and center to those of us in the west who take something as simple as "copper" as a given, when it's really not.
The story takes place during the real life strife in the 1990′s between Papa New Guinea and Bougainville Island, with a British teacher who brings the words and lessons of Charles Dickens GREAT EXPECTATIONS to the local Bouganville population (children and adults alike), but the PNG militia has other ideas. At times very hard to watch as it is very visceral and real, MR. PIP is a brilliantly realized piece of film-making. Andrew Adamson proves himself to be more than a family film type director. During the Q&A Adamson revealed he grew up in Papa New Guinea, so the subject matter must strike extremely close to home and that resonated for me. Every ounce of blood and sweat was poured onto the celluloid.
Laurie is absolutely wonderful in his role as Mr. Watts (Pop-Eye), but it's Xzannjah Matsi, and her real life mother (as well as movie mother) Healesville Joel who utterly and completely steal the show. Xzannjah especially could easily hold her own amongst the bigger stars of Hollywood. She was riveting to watch throughout and I challenge anyone to be able to take their eyes off her. She should be very proud of her achievement here as she pulled off an Oscar-worthy debut performance and the rest of the audience and I agreed as we gave her a standing ovation.
I actually hope that MR. PIP is one of the bigger successes of TIFF this year as I was truly affected by it, and I'd easily vote it as one of the best so far this year. Hopefully this comes out wide in release as I feel it's a very important film and we need to take stock of the things we take for granted in Western society and how it affect the world. Get out and see this film!
Here you have some lovely pics of Hugh during the Mr. Pip Q&A and premiere within the Toronto Film Festival. Enjoy!
Mr. Pip Q&A – 09/09/12
Mr. Pip Premiere – 09/09/12
Stephen Fry has announced that he is working again with former comedy partner Hugh Laurie.
The pair, best known for their BBC sketch show A Bit of Fry & Laurie, will reunite for a "project" in the near future.
The QI host tweeted today: "M'coll Hugh Laurie and I are cooking up a project together.
"We will be working again soon. Sorry to be mysterious but more news when I can."
The duo also starred alongside each other in sitcom Jeeves and Wooster between 1990 and 1993.
Their critically-acclaimed sketch show A Bit of Fry & Laurie ran for four series between 1989 and 1995.
Fry and Laurie reunited in 2010 for a GOLD retrospective, celebrating 30 years of their TV partnership.
Laurie, who is currently the highest-paid actor on US television, recently shot the final season of his hit Fox medical drama House.
"TriBeCa what?" Oliver Platt said on opening night of the inaugural Montclair Film Festival.
Platt's new movie "The Oranges," which will be released in the fall, did not disappoint the crowd (which included Dave Matthews and, of course, Stephen Colbert) at the packed Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University. The hilarious movie opened the festival and had the audience laughing so hard, many lines were drowned out.
While Festival Co-Director Thom Powers said he wondered about opening the festival with a movie about adultery — and who knows how many suburban couples went home to discuss their happiness, or lack thereof — opening night and the choice of films was an unquestionable success.
Before the screening Powers talked about how the movie shows people in New Jersey gazing toward Manhattan, which he admitted deserved the attention it gets. But he ended with this, "This week and in subsequent years, we plan to turn the world's gaze to New Jersey.
"Now, let the festival begin."
After the final credits rolled, champagne corks popped off bottles in the theater's lobby while Platt sat on stage discussing the movie and his life. He was funny, humble and gracious, calling it a "privilege" to be there.
"This is historic," Platt said of the first screening in the first night of the first Montclair festival and the start of something the directors and board members hope becomes a big-time annual event. It seemed to go off without a hitch. Co-Director Raphaela Neihausen said there were 261 volunteers and all of them seemed to be there tonight, opening doors and trying to answer questions before they were even asked.
Neihausen said 18 events are soldout, but mentioned a few that still have tickets available — Wednesday's Tribute to Kathleen Turner, Thursday's screening of "Undefeated" among them.
In 2004, Hugh Laurie was a 45-year-old actor of fine credentials, known to Anglophiles and actual English people for his winning TV work with Stephen Fry (the BBC sketch show A Bit of Fry & Laurie, the P. G. Wodehouse adaptation Jeeves & Wooster) and to small children for playing the dad in the Stuart Little movies. He was the last person you'd have predicted to have an obituary that will someday lead with the phrase "Hugh Laurie, best known for playing an ornery, painkiller-addicted American diagnostician . . . "
But then House premiered that year on Fox, and Laurie's Dr. Gregory House emerged as one of the great characters on television: prickly yet magnetic, gimpy yet graceful. House became a ratings hit, and Laurie—well into middle age, using an American accent, and generally forswearing the use of a razor—became a star and a sex symbol. "As career twists go, it doesn't get any twistier," he says. "Outside of the federal witness-protection program, I don't think anybody gets to re-invent themselves quite the way I've done."
Laurie now finds himself winding down the eighth and final season of House. He insists that Greg House's dark character has not insinuated its way into his own—"If anything, he cheers me up"—but grants that doing the show has altered his outlook. "We're undecided about moving back to England," Laurie says of himself and his family. "This morning I was having a cup of coffee outside—a quintessentially California moment. In London you can only do that three days of the year."

Great product - but expensive
Par Purse fanatic
de Toronto, Canada
I've rated this product 4 out of 5. The product itself does work well, but the cost of it makes it prohibitive. By the time you factor in the cost for one month, then combine it with the monthly cost of any other products from this line you might be taking, I can see why people would not be able to afford this line of suppliments. That being said, I believe in this product line. I just wish there were a more affordable way to maintain or improve our health.I would still recommend this product, for those that can afford it.
wish it had worked
Par precious
de SAINT JOHN
I have taken this for about 1 month. I found no change in night sweats or hot flashes, the main reason I wanted to try this product. The price is quite steep and I just cut my loses by not ordering any more. Really wished it had worked.

Feeling Better!!!
Par Benz11
de Fonthill, Ont
I am using this product as well as the fat burner, and joint relief product. I feel remarkably better. I have more energy and less stress. I am in menopause and have had some issues. The regimen of these capsules has vastly improved all my issues. I am much more energetic, less affected by hot flashes and generally in a better mood. I am less likey to become easily aggrevated and bad tempered which my husband is very greatful for. I will stay on these capsules for as long as they work. Important to note...they do not irritate my difficult stomach!!!
Works for Sensitive Stomachs
Par peggygirl
de NS
I am on meds and have a senstive stomach. I don't tolerate many other brands but this works for me. It hasn't caused any any issues with meds and I am not running to the bathroom every 2 minutes. I did start at only 1 a day for some time and if I have to take new meds I'll stop taking it for a few days before and after, but all in all I am grateful to be able to tolerate a vitamen as I usually am not able to.
GREAT Results
Par Nora
de Toronto, Ontario
Ihave been using the Vita Tree VitaWomen's formula for the past year and have experienced good results. It decreased my night sweats, heart palpations, irritability, hot flashes mood swings all related to pre-menopausal symptoms. Before Vita Tree I tried other recommended supplements with little results. I love that this is a natural made products without the synthetic. I also love many products from this line and I hope that the shopping channel will put together a show stopper with the daily essentials on an auto delivery. Thanks to Dr. Bowring and TSC.

After the Washington Redskins were forced to change their name, since it was deemed offensive by those who have nothing better to do than look for an excuse to be offended; now the precedent has been set for the entire NFL to be under attack.
Jeremiah Wright's congregation attacked New England's team, claiming that the name "Patriot" is racist, because it stands for people who love this nation that enslaved and oppressed his people.
The ACLU and other anti-Christian hate groups who believe that their right to overtly express and impose their bigotry against people of faith is a right that trumps Christian freedom of worship; have declared New Orleans' team the "Saints," to be offensive as they claim such a name is a flagrant violation of their mantra, "Separation of Church and State."
The gay community has deemed the Green Bay team name to be "offensive," "derogatory," and "homophobic."
Edgar Allen Poe's estate has declared that Baltimore should use their team name, "Never more."
After Atlanta's team took 20 parsecs to do the Kessel Run, Disney has declared that they are unworthy of the title "Falcons."
A nudist colony said that Chicago's team name made fun of naked people. When they had it explained to them that the spelling of "bears" is different from "bares" they used the same retort that Al Sharpton used about Pittsburgh's team that he claims depicted its minority players as thieves, "It may be spelled differently, but it sounds the same." Al Sharpton then went on a tirade about how the "Browns" is offensive to dark-skinned people. Incidentally, a waife rock band from the 1980s tried to sue Cincinnati over the team name, even though it was spelled differently.
PETA also chimed in about how offensive the Seahawks, Lions, Dolphins, Panthers, Eagles, Rams, Jaguars, Cardinals, Colts, and Broncos are to the animals they represent. PETA ignorantly proceeded to complain about the slaughtering of pigs to make the footballs.
The 49ers were declared offensive to those who can't count that high.
The Chargers were declared offensive to people who pay cash.
The Texans and Cowboys were both declared offensive by a bunch of female country singers who can't stop whining about their broken hearts and how terrible men are.
The Vikings, Titans, Chiefs, Raiders, and Buccaneers were declared offensive to those who have been killed by Vikings, Titans, Chiefs, Raiders, or Buccaneers. When the fascists who leveled these complaints on behalf of the deceased were told that the deceased will not complain; these pro-choice fascists responded, "We want to be a voice for the voiceless."
The "New York," part of the Giants and the Jets was declared offensive by the people of New Jersey who want their teams to reflect the location, location, location of where they play. After that, the Giants were declared offensive to extremely tall people. Then, the Puerto-Rican community became furious that the Jets share the same name with the racist rival gang who opposed Puerto-Ricans in "West Side Story."
Finally, in Obama's economy, "Bills" are offensive to everyone, since no one can afford to pay them.
Thus, the entire NFL has been declared bigoted and hateful, hence the sudden popularity of soccer in America.

Savouring art, the hi-tech way
MALATHI RANGARAJAN (The Hindu)
Swathi Soft Solution's core area of activity is multimedia operations. Yet art and culture find prominence in their agenda.
Swathi's second ROM on CD is an artistic sojourn in the world of classical dance. Bharatanatyam ? Essence and Essentials, with inputs by dancer Madurai R. Muralidharan serves as an instructional package where the student is told what should not be done. "Even established dancers have found our output useful. Not that they don't know about the content… but the ROM helps them refresh their memory… " Sudhakar explains. After working with Muralidharan on 13 hours of rushes the group is now able to identify slips and misses in dance. "And nobody is more surprised by the development than we are … " laughs Sudhakar.
K. S. Sudhakar, Swati Soft Solutions
The CD ROM format helped these young men use technology the way they wished to but they realised the need to switch over to DVD and VCD format soon. And that's what they adopted when they made 'Colourful Voyage into Classical Dance,' with Priyadarsini Govind, in which the 'sum and substance' of the Bharatanatyam Varnam has been dealt with. Jyolsna Menon, an instructor with Kalakshetra and their in-house consultant Nritya Jagannathan oversee the content of Swathi's dance and yoga CDs. So will they get into music next? "We are more interested in educative packages … not just songs … let's see," Sudhakar ruminates. The team's dream portal, kalakendra.com works towards promoting traditional art and culture.
When Moulee got the tapes he worked relentlessly to edit the 13 episodes into a two-hour package and with it Swathi has successfully entered the arena of entertainment marketing. Recently 'Crazy' Mohan's 'Madhu Cheenu' and Y. Gee. Mahendra's 'Comedy Utsavam,' comprising three of his plays have found their way into Swathi's repertoire.
Culture and multimedia expertise conjoin at Swathi to produce quality content and design. "Actually Swathi's foray in the field of culture began with the product catalogue designing that we took up for Sony Music," Sudhakar informs. Their brochure on T. K. V. Desikachar's 'Patanjali's Yogasutra ? an Exploration,' by Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, Swathi's first CD ROM, looks promising. "That was an interesting experience," recalls Sudhakar. "Like most of us today, I turned to Yoga to get my aching back fixed. Till then KYM had been publishing their material as books. When I explained how the CD ROM format would be interactive, useful and less costly, they were game." Stress Management through Yoga is another CD Rom in the same genre. Swathi's other rare guidance packages include Pilgrimage of Sound, and In Union.
As you listen to Sudhakar you begin to understand the organisation's pertinent slug, 'Solutions Beyond Technology,' better.

Wash. U. Scientist Discovers Why One of Saturn's Moons Looks Like a Giant Walnut
If life as we know it exists elsewhere in this solar system, it's not likely to be on Iapetus, the third-largest of Saturn's 62 moons. For one thing, Iapetus is made almost entirely of ice. But Iapetus is interesting to earthly scientists for other reasons, namely that it resembles the universe's largest walnut.
|image via
|It only looks like the universe's largest walnut, but it's really Iapetus, one of Saturn's many, many moons.
For years, scientists who make it their business to think about these things have wondered what happened to give Iapetus its unique appearance. Now William McKinnon, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at Washington University, says he has a pretty good idea: an enormous and dramatic interlunar crash between Iapetus and another, smaller moon.
Once upon a time, McKinnon and his fellow researcher Andrew Dombard, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, postulate, Iapetus had a moon of its own. Over time, Iapetus's stronger tidal forces destroyed the other moon's orbit and, eventually, the moon itself. The little moon broke into thousands of smaller particles that settled in a ring around Iapetus's equator. (Imagine Saturn orbited by another miniature Saturn.)
Eventually, the tidal forces that held the ring in place grew even weaker and the particles slammed into Iapetus.
|image via
|A closer view of the ridge, taken by the Cassini satellite camera, which visited Iapetus in 2007. The satellite also took video.
McKinnon adds that Earth is in no danger of suffering a similar shower because the moon is actually moving farther away. "But if we were to bring our Moon inside what is called geosynchronous altitude, that special altitude where TV broadcast satellites (and other objects) are able to hover over one spot on Earth as they orbit, then the Moon would actually spiral in toward Earth," he explained. "Eventually our Moon would break into a ring of particles as it got very close and was torn apart by tides, and then those particles would enter the atmosphere and bombard the Earth at the equator."
|image via
|The Dark Side may be attacking Iapetus. Or it could just be bread mold.
"There are three critical observations that any model for the formation of the ridge has to satisfy," Dombard added. "They are: Why the feature is sitting on the equator; why only on the equator; and why only on Iapetus. I think we have something here that explains all those observations."
So far, McKinnon and Dombard have only done a lot of math to arrive at their theory. The next step will be to build a model that simulates the great crash. This may also help explain the giant dark stain that covers part of Iapetus. Or maybe it's just a sign of the impending forces of the Dark Side.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Aggies' 4x400-meter relay team (Aldredge, Perkins, Banegas, Cromartie), who ran in the Don Kirby Elite meet on Friday, set a school record with a time of 3:39.53, which placed them third overall and 21st nationally.
The New Mexico State University track and field team competed in its last regular indoor track and field season meet at the Don Kirby Collegiate open, completing the meet with a new school record in the 200m, 400m and 5,000m.
Two Aggies finished in the top five for the 200m. Junior Alishia Perkins finished third overall with a time of 24.05 and junior Brianna Cromartie finished fourth overall with a time of 24.07. Each time was a career-best and a new school record, improving upon Perkins' top school record and improving upon Cromartie's second-best school record.
Two more Aggies also finished in the top five overall in the 400m. Cromartie finished first overall with a time of 54.28, improving upon her career-best and top overall school record. Senior LaSasha Aldredge finished third overall with a time of 55.01. Freshmen Cherish Morrison and Leah Englehart also competed in the event.

In the 4x400m, the Aggies finished fourth overall with a time of 3:54.40. Morrison, senior Deserae Cota, junior Zoe Meade and freshman Kelsi Gonzales competed in the event.
Meade finished sixth overall in the high jump with a mark of 5-03.00 (1.70m), tying her career-best mark. Cota also competed in the event, finishing ninth overall with a mark of 5-01.00 (1.47m). In the long jump, Cota finished 13th overall with a mark of 17-10.25 (5.44,) and Meade finished 14th overall with a mark of 17-08.25 (5.39m).
In the pole vault, sophomore Taylor Black marked a height of 10-11.75 (3.35m) to finish seventh overall. In the triple jump, junior Horlexus Willis jumped a distance of 38-03.25 (11.66m) for sixth place overall.
A small group of Aggies also competed in the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash. Senior Courtney Schultz competed in the 5,000m, finishing third overall in her heat with a time of 16:44.05, which is now a career-best time and a new school record. Senior Camille Schultz competed in her sister's heat as well. Senior Madelyn Stoltze also ran the 5,000m, finishing 11th in her heat with a time of 17:12.52, improving upon her career-best record and her all-time school record, which sits at third overall. Freshman Mayra Chavez also ran the 5,000m.
NM State will conclude the indoor track and field season on Feb. 21-23 in Albuquerque, N.M., with the Western Athletic Conference Championships.

Some new technology tools are playing a role in the learning process this school year at LMS. Our students are now using an interactive SMART Board in their Spanish classes to support interaction and conversation. In the Spanish classroom, students are using the SMART Board as much as the teachers. Students can manipulate the interactive board and lead their peers as they learn vocabulary, play Spanish games, or are exposed to different cultures. This fall, the SMART Board has proved to be a valuable learning device that encourages communication in a foreign language and brings some excitement to the classroom.
Throughout campus students are participating in many more technology enabled lessons in the classroom that enhance subject content. For instance, in Art the new Elmo document camera is enabling up close and detailed observation of art techniques for a whole group. The Elmo is a mounted camera attached to a projector that allows students to focus less on the technology, and more on the artistic process during a presentation. It is the perfect way to magnify pictures and projects, or demonstrate concepts like how to mix colors. The document camera is a very versatile tool, which has visual learning opportunities for many areas beyond the art classroom.
We also now have iPads playing an active role in some classrooms, providing a wide range of benefits. They may be found helping with jobs like taking daily attendance, or students could be outside getting a closer look at the external parts of a plant with a ProScope. The ProScope is a wireless, handheld microscope that connects to the iPad and allows students to magnify various surfaces, substances and specimens with the ability to save images for future observation and analysis. In addition, students have used the iPad to dictate stories, take pictures and videos, complete curriculum research and as a translation tool.
If you know of any other new and emerging educational technologies please share them with the Tech Department. There are so many new tools that can help make learning more engaging and more productive for students and teachers. The possibilities are endless, which is why the sharing of ideas is so beneficial.

Micro-enterprise Training and Opportunities
Economic empowerment is a huge issue for our women. The lack of enough money to buy food leads to finding income through means that devalue the women and reduce their dignity and purpose. Begging and prostitution may feed the children, but they exact a significant toll in the long run. Insufficient income also means that mothers and children are undernourished, leading to high infant mortality rates and maternal and child morbidity. Children cannot attend school (which are not free in Sierra Leone, though there is no tuition required for elementary education), perpetuating the cycle of poverty and ill health.
Because this is such a big need, equipping and empowering these women to be able to provide for themselves and their children in dignified and safe ways is woven throughout the ministry. Our 8-month long CHE training incorporated business skills and character lessons that will enable women to succeed in micro-enterprise.
Skills training classes, led by volunteers from the US or skilled craftsmen and women in Sierra Leone equip the women with knowledge of new skills and products that can be used to generate income. Business skills training, marketing assistance and consulting is given to small business owners to help them grow their businesses and ensure sustainability and growth.
Besides the local market outlets, crafts and products made by the women are purchased through our Fair Trade program and sold in the United States.

Columbia County school officials and administrators last week welcomed nearly 60 teachers who are new to the county's school system.
July 17, those teachers underwent the first of three orientation days Savannah Rapids Pavilion.
The number of teachers hired in the county has gone down about 150 from previous years because of budget cuts, said school system Assistant Director of Human Resources Jerilyn Northcutt.
With less than two weeks left until the first day of school, students in Columbia County are soaking up the last days of summer break.
For parents, getting their child ready for the new year can be daunting, but the annual Back to School Festival aims to make the task a little easier.
This year's festival will be held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday at Evans Middle School. The Columbia County school system, University Hospital and The Columbia County News-Times are sponsors.
Just four years after graduating from Evans High School, Kathryn McCormick attended a movie premiere last week in Hollywood.
McCormick wasn't there as a spectator. Instead, she was having her picture snapped by photographers as fans watched her and other stars of Step Up Revolution make their way down the red carpet.
The movie comes out in theaters nationwide Friday.
The city of Grovetown is throwing a bash to celebrate summer before school starts back in August.
The Dog Days of Summer Carnival will be from 5 until 11 p.m. Friday at Liberty Park Community Center, 1040 Newmantown Road.
The festival includes arts, crafts and refreshment vendors, and live entertainment from the Jim Fisher Band.
Family-friendly activities will include bounce houses, an inflatable obstacle course, tethered hot air balloon rides and carnival games.
Admission to the carnival is free, but there might be a charge for some of the activities.
Kaitlyn Mills, 17, wants to pursue a career in federal law enforcement.
Japheth Gossage, 17, aims to become a police canine handler.
Nic Johnson, 16, dreams of serving in the Marine Corps before heading to a sheriff's office.
These teens are learning about law enforcement in the Columbia County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 63 program.
"It helps a lot because you have a general idea when you go to the academy," said Gossage, the post captain.
Ex-commissioner's daughter arrested
The oldest adopted daughter of former Columbia County Commissioner Scott Dean, convicted of child molestation last year, was recently arrested for burglary and theft by receiving stolen property.
Marlin Azucena Dean, 19, of Ansley Court in Augusta, was arrested Saturday in Harlem. She is accused of stealing jewelry from her adopted mother, Renee Meyer Dean.
With savings from projects that cost less than expected, Columbia County commissioners Tuesday morning gave final approval to a property tax rate cut.
The half-mill cut is on the portion of tax bills that repay bond debt, said Finance Director Leanne Reece. By using $3.9 million from the 2011-2016 sales tax assigned to debt payment, and adding $2.1 million from savings in construction projects, commissioners were able to trim the county's portion of the overall rate from 9.137 to 8.637 mills, she said.
Hugh L. Fuller has been gardening since he was a child.
At 87, the Evans resident says gardening not only is relaxing but also gives him something rewarding to do.
The former Evans postmaster said gardening has been in his blood ever since he was about 7 years old. Growing up in Leah community off Ridge Road, Fuller was an important member of the family when it came to harvesting the summer garden.
"I like a fresh tomato," he said, "and all kinds of other fresh vegetables."
Area residents have finally gotten a little relief from the drought. The rains over the past few weeks have helped plants and turf recover, but the moisture and humidity also have caused disease problems.
One of these is gray leaf spot on St. Augustine grass. Webworms have also hit the low country of South Carolina and will soon be in our area.
When students return to the Lakeside school complex on Aug. 9, they'll hear construction machinery running as work begins on a new athletic complex.
Columbia County commissioners on Tuesday approved a $3.1 million bid to Garnto and Gearig Bros. Construction of Evans for site preparation for the new park, which will be built on 70 acres near the school's baseball field.
"This is about $1.7 million less than we had budgeted," said Columbia County Construction and Maintenance Director Matt Schlachter. "We got some really good bids there."
