Booker T & Robert Randolph Live at WBGO

Click here to hear Booker T. Jones and pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph play live together for the first time at WBGO.
This special Blues Hour with Michael Bourne celebrates the remarkable first-ever collaboration between two powerhouse artists – one an acknowledged master, another making his own mark for the future. Jones's new CD Sound the Alarm, and Randolph's new CD Lickety Split are just out. Both in the present – Booker T and Robert Randolph – live at WBGO, for you, our listeners. Enjoy!
Booker T. Jones is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Musicians Hall of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner. His classic tunes for the Memphis label Stax, like "Green Onions" and "Time is Tight," set a high bar for modern soul music.
On the new record, which marks Booker T's return to Stax, he is joined by Anthony Hamilton, Raphael Saadiq, Mayer Hawthorne, Estelle, Vintage Trouble, Luke James and James Jay Picton, as well as Gary Clark Jr., Poncho Sanchez, and Sheila E.
Robert Randolph hails from Orange, New Jersey, where he grew up in the "sacred steel" tradition of the Pentecostal church, and he has since extended the sound of his instrument into a multitude of genres. Lickety Split, which captures the excitement of his live performances, is his first recording for the Blue Note label.
Bourne's Montreal: Alain Caron, Steve Kuhn Trio at Gesu
July 5, 2013. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM, FIJM 2013, Jazz Alive, Live Music, Live Music Blogging, michael bourne
Alain Caron was honored with the Montreal jazzfest's Oscar Peterson Award, a lifetime achievement award honoring a Canadian artist. He's the first musician to be honored twice.
In the 70's and 80's, Caron played electric bass in a very popular Quebecois jazz/rock power trio called Uzeb.
They were honored with the OP Award as a group in 1972, and played their farewell concert on the festival's biggest outdoor stage back then, the first of the festival's Grands Evenements that I attended.
I remember the group blasting into the night as tens of thousands of festgoers rocked the street.
Alain Caron blasted again at the Gesu -- although he always looked so calm, meandering casually around the stage while the band blew the roof off.
I can't remember a concert so loud (without being deafening) and so rocking at the Gesu. Something to do with musical dynamics, not the artifice of rock volume.
Caron's tunes have solid hooks, and his drummer, Damien Schmitt, is the dynamo. Playing two differently tuned bass drums, various other drums, and cymbals aplenty. Playing with staggering speed and sounding like a firefight of machine guns and cannons.
I pretty much lost interest in electric jazz/rock "fusion" -- or whatever it's still called -- back in the 70's, but live at the Gesu, feeling again the thunder of Caron's music was great fun.
"Jazz dans la nuit" concerts at the Gesu have been a festival of wonderful trios, and especially superb drummers. Bill Stewart with Peter Bernstein and Larry Goldings. Justin Faulkner with Jacky Terrasson. Dave King with The Bad Plus. Joey Baron with Steve Swallow and Steve Kuhn.
All trios that play beyond the ancient concept of a pianist playing the lead with the bassist walking harmony and the drummer keeping time. Each of these trios uniquely created together a fourth musical presence. Drummers were melodic. Bassists played the lead sometimes. Pianists whipped up some grooves.
I especially enjoyed Joey Baron, playing quietly, quickly, tunefully, every which way, always with a smile. Joey said he's happy playing with masters like Swallow and Kuhn. The Steves were as inspired by Joey. Kuhn's "Oceans in the Sky" was a symphonic whirlwind. Kuhn's "The Zoo" was a charming encore.

Dr. Wicks has been practicing dentistry in New York since 2002. He graduated from Howard University College of Dentistry in 2001. He then moved to New York to complete a general practice residency through Columbia and Harlem hospital. Dr. Wicks is a highly trained healthcare provider that utilizes the most current innovative surgical and non surgical techniques available in dentistry.Dr. Wicks is also providing orthodontic treatment(Braces) to both adolescents and adult patients.
Dr Wicks is a member of the NDA, ADA and AEGD.
He is always pleasant and willing to answer questions. Great location. Easily accessible.
Great dentist!
His staff is really polite and nice. The office is modern and immaculate. Dr. Wicks is professional and personable.
Excellent experience
Dr. Wick's dental office is very clean & chic. The staff was also great!
The staff was friendly, kind and fast! I took my daughter after looking for a few months for a pediatric dentist. I finally decided to use a family dentist and we were pleasantly surprised. The modern, slick office was just what we needed. My daughter received a thorough, gentle cleaning and check up. Dr. Wicks was thorough, fast and efficient. I've had bad experiences with dentists suggesting a number of unnecessary treatments and procedures. I felt respected and feel like Dr. Wicks is trustworthy. Were there stickers? No, but I'll take fast and efficient any day!
Great staff and nice facility.
Excellant professional and painless
I arrived to my appointment 15 minutes late and I was still seen immediately. The lady at the front told me about a fee that my insurance makes me pay first, and although I was already aware of said fee I really appreciated her informing me before I had already been treated. The doctor is great-- very thorough and makes suggestions on how to make your teeth better. The dental hygienist cleaned my teeth great, and her bedside humor put me at ease. There was a little construction happening, but they did their best to accommodate me comfortably. You can't be mad at people for trying to make their space look even better. Definitely recommend Dr. Wicks and his office,
Dr. Wicks was very nice and answered all of my questions. He wasn't rushing to get to another patient, which I liked. The dental hygienist was very nice as well. I recommend seeing him. I will be going back.
He was very professional. The office is the nicest dentist office I have ever been in. His staff are also very sweet and caring
The dentist was great. His staff could use some training in proper customer service though.
Really great experience. I highly recommend
I thought he was, well equipped for the profession and kind, straight to the point so your in and out. Calm and thorough.
A lovely office environment; the staff are pleasant and effecient. The procedure was painless and the doctor explained everything as he went along.
He is awesome. He is extremely passionate about his work and is super patient…BUT he will yell at you if you don't floss :) 100% recommend! Also his staff is super friendly and professional.
Excellent doctor and extremely knowledgeable. Explains every step. The staff was courteous, professional and friendly.
Staff is great, they put up with the krazy momma. lol me
Dr. Wicks' staff was so friendly and kind--I am usually SUPER nervous when I go to the dentist, but they were warm and welcoming, and everyone was so relaxed, I felt pretty calm the whole time I was there. Special kudos to Yadira for her friendly bedside manner (professional, yet fun), and to Sharon for patiently and clearly explaining my insurance benefits!
I was very comfortable it was very clean and staff was very polite and patient with you
He and his team were lovely. Very comforting and this is coming from someone who is terrified of the dentist.
Very pleasant.
ok but I had to reschedule after an hour there was some emergency so they were behind schedule
It was a great pleasure. The doctor was great. Everything was done in a timely manner. Would highly recommend to others.
It was quick and a really great experience. I will be recommending him to more people.
Dr Wicks and his staff were extremely pleasant and professional. They treated me as a person and not a number, he explained everything down to the tiniest details. The visit was painless, and he was patient. I think the office is fantastic and I have recommended him hughly.
Well what I can say for sure is that the office is fancy.
not too clean
I was good would go back in further
Dr. Wicks is nothing short of amazing. If you're a scared of excessive pain or the mere expectation of dire pain as perhaps you've experienced at the hands of other dentists, Dr. Wicks is the answer. He quickly assessed/corrected the shoddy dentistry performed by a former dentist. And warmly advised me on preventive measures to keep my choppers presentable. Dr. Wicks is distinctly PROfessional but no doubt, "good people" in his overall approach to his patients.
My best experience with a dentist, ever! Very courteous, staff was very friendly. I never thought I like going to the dentist!!
Dr Wicks and his staff were very courteous and professional. I'm thankful that,through zocdoc, I found an excellent dentist. Will definitely be recommending Dr. Wicks to family and friends.
He is the best dentist I EVER been to.I would recommend him to ANYONE.Him and his staff were AMAZING with my 5 year old.The office was very nice,it was very peaceful.
Visit was for my 9 year old daughter and Dr. Wicks was able to put her at ease and make her feel comfortable with the visit. His staff is friendly and professional.
Nice office friendly staff
Love the ambiance and the staff. Highly recommend
Dr. Wicks was great and very professional. He explained my procedure and his recommendations prior to any work. He also addressed my personal concerns (fear of needles and pain) and did his best to make me feel comfortable. His staff are also very friendly, especially his front desk assistant, who carefully explained my insurance coverage and out of pocket costs prior to the visit. Dr. Wicks is definitely my preferred dental provider from now on and I highly recommend his practice!
Not only is he easy on the eyes he's very professional and his office is immaculate and high tech which made me feel very comfortable.
He is now my permanent dentist!
First off the office is beautiful which sets the mood for artistic competency. Receptionist and support staff are warm, accommodating and professional. Dr. Wicks was equally convivial,astute in his observations re: my dental emergency and a whiz with his application of injections-seriously no pain the first time.The dental suites are open; unusual but cool. I feel very confident in his expertise re; the health of my teeth. I only wished he performed adult orthodontics.
this was my best dental visit in 40 years. He is a keeper. you'd be a fool not to go with this dentist. what a blessing from GOD !!!!
Maybe it was a fluke, but there weren't enough staff to handle all of the patients on the day of my appointment.
Nice clean office. Friendly environment.
The doctor and staff were patient and understanding. They treated me with respect and I was quite pleased with their customer service.
Very nice and knowledgeable man and staff


text: Hi,After improving on my images thanks to this thread:http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...IC_ID=110917I've decided that the next step for me will be to go with a copystand solution with a new lens on my Nikon D40x. I've currently got it setup on a tripod, but it's not as sturdy as it should be. Also, I found the mirror lockup instructions in the guide, but it appears that that is only for inspection and cleaning.. not for taking photos. So to mitigate those two things.. I'm thinking a copy stand is in order.Are there any recommendations on copystands to use? I know heavier is better.. but I dont know about namebrands, types, etc.Also, any recommendations on specific lenses for the D40x? Our camera is about 4 years old, so I would want a new lens to also fit newer Nikon models so it's compatible when we upgrade. How about thoughts on say 105mm vs 150mm? Or would an adjustable lens work better? If there are any really good lenses that are cheaper in any of those options, even better :)I'm also thinking about going with three of the Ikea Jansjo lamps.Any thoughts before I start making decisions would be apprecited! Thanks

Radcliffe is undergoing an identity crisis. The Radcliffe trustees decision to eliminate the Radcliffe Forum this week brought into the open disagreement among administrators, trustees and staff over Radcliffe's role.
Burton I. Wolfman, administrative dean of Radcliffe, said the decision reasserts Radcliffe's priorities, placing the needs of undergraduates ahead of any wider participation in the women's movement.
Both the outgoing and incoming chairmen of the Radcliffe Board of Trustees agreed with Wolfman's assessment.
President Horner said she decided to support the Forum's elimination on purely fiscal grounds. Horner said, however, that the priorities of the college lie with both the education of undergraduate women and the continuing education of all women.
An alumna and staff worker who is acquainted with the Forum's activities said yesterday she felt the decision showed that undergraduates were the lowest of Radcliffe's priorities. "The forum was the only part of Radcliffe actively involved with undergraduates--and they cut it," she said.
Radcliffe's priorities lie with the programs that generate income, the alumna said.
"The decision reflects a lack of clarity that has been there a very long time," Simone Reagor, director of the forum--whose post was eliminated along with the Forum--said yesterday.
Peggy Plympton, a staff member at the Forum, said she felt the decision showed that Radcliffe's priorities lie with protecting its endowment, and with activities that generate their own income.
No matter what the decision reflects, one thing is clear: everyone, including President Horner, says that in some of the trustees minds, the nature of some of the specific programs of the Forum affected their decision.
One program that Amy DeFriez, the incoming chairman of the Board of Trustees, cited as particularly inappropriate in light of tight money was the efforts of the Forum in educating the 3000 mostly female support staff within the University about their options in approaching management to present their salary demands.
"We were all concerned about those activities," Horner said. The college always has to be carful that its activities do not border on the political so as not to injure its tax-exempt status, Horner added.
Horner reiterated that the programs of the Forum will continue under the administrative control of a new associate dean who will operate from her office.
Wolfman said that under the new set-up, Horner will now initiate the programs rather than merely approving or disaproving them.
Horner also said she was concerned there might be misconceptions surrounding the May 5 Trustees' executive board meeting, to which the trustees have invited student leaders "to talk about." "The decision has been made. It is final," Horner said.
Citing the difficulties and complexities of budgetary decisions, Horner said, "I don't think students have a clue as to how institutions work."

While we were out and about snapping some pics for the new year, we meandered through the World Trade Center for some photos of the still under construction Freedom Tower/1 WTC.
We were there during a bank holiday, which caused many of the regular citizens who would be in the surrounding streets due to work obligations to be home for the holiday. We mention this because due to the lack of normal foot traffic flow, we could feel the security around us, and quite frankly, it's creepy being watched as if you're up to no good while simply going on a stroll in one's hometown on a beautiful, sunny and warm winter's day. (Goldman Sachs foot patrol guards in particular, we're talking about you, creeps!)

Question everythingOctober 22nd, 2013 |
I think when I was a kid, I was a bit like Jason in this comic strip. In fact, I still am a bit like that today. The only difference is maybe that it's not so many questions, but rather the fact that I can't get a particular question out of my mind until I have it answered. Thank god for universal internet access and Wikipedia. It certainly makes my life more bearable!


text: Tweet photo by Justin Pickard (Flickr CC) Ernest Callenbach, author of the environmental landmark novel Ecotopia, died of cancer on April 16th in Berkley, California, at the age of 83 . Ecotopia was first self-published in 1975 and is credited as being a major influence on the environmental movement. One of the first novels in the 'environmental utopia' genre, Ecotopia blended science fiction, utopian fiction and contemporary scientific research, as well experiments in alternative living, which were actually being practiced at the time. The novel deals with the premise that Oregon, Washington State and Northern California break off from the rest of the US and form an independent nation based on environmentally sustainable practices including recycling, solar energy and a ban on the internal combustion engine in favor of transportation by walking, cycling, electric cars and maglev trains. Callenbach's wife, Christine Leefeldt, is quoted by the Associated Press: The ideas that came out of `Ecotopia' were so diverse and picked up by so many people that he was always astonished. The thing that made him very, very proud was that it inspired several generations of writers, thinkers, schoolchildren, teachers and environmental groups. Ecotopia and many of the ideas Callenbach distilled in the novel seem to have crept into mainstream society, whether we've read the book or not. I haven't read it, myself, but now I want to. According to his wife, the author was a genuine environmentalist and not just a writer. From the New York Times: He practiced what he preached, his wife said. He grew organic fruits and vegetables in his backyard, which he had landscaped with drought-tolerant plants to conserve water, and he installed a device called a Kill-a-Watt in his home to monitor power usage.

This is a 4 week on-line course available from Sara Wiseman. We will email you when your new lesson is available and you will be able to login and read each lesson on-line or print as they become available and click to listen to the guided audio meditations. Your first lesson will be available immediately after you enroll.
There is no time we are not with you! Merely say the word, and you will feel our presence, receive our love, and understand
the guidance that we have for you. There is no time you are alone.
--The Messages
Do you long to create a direct connection with your guides, angels, saints and holy ones who are continually with us?
Are you ready to become a Divine conduit--to learn to move outside yourself, step beyond ego and past expectation, into a place where these ascended masters and teachers can communicate with you clearly and completely?
Would you like to learn to communicate with the departed--beloved ancestors, friends and family who seek to support and encourage you?
Indeed, these are simple tasks, available to everyone!
Learn how to create a direction connection
No previous experience is required for this course; all you need is an open heart, a sense of humor (the Divine loves a good laugh) and a keen curiosity as to the unique way that entities communicate with humans. Learning this Divine language or lexicon is a joyful, interesting and profound experience!
That said--this course is intense. It may take you through emotional experiences and healings that you have never experienced before. Plan for this accordingly!
If at any time during this course, you need more time to process and integrate, simply take this time! There is no rush to finish quickly. Repeat each Lesson as often as you need, and proceed when you feel ready to move forward.
During the time you spend with these materials, you will learn how to become a Divine conduit for:
ĀSpirit guides, including your earth guide, spiritual teacher and mystic guide--Divine beings who have been with your entire life, and in previous lifetimes too!
ĀAngels, those lovely high vibration beings who always seek to protect and heal
ĀSaints, ascended masters and holy beings who so often make themselves known to us
The departed, especially the ancestors and loved ones who support you the most
You'll also learn key ways to hold yourself in a state of highest vibration, so you never have trouble with and are always fully protected from:
ĀPesky, foggy or murky spirits
ĀRandom departed who just want to "talk" or hang out
ĀLow vibration energies such as old thought forms
ĀRotten yucky energies you don't want to (and don't have to) deal with
Become a Divine conduit
I teach this course from my own experience.
In 2004, I had a spiritual awakening when I began to receive spiritual teachings via channeled writing--an experience I neither sought nor expected. Four years later, in 2008, I received a hundred pages of Divine messaging which began "the purpose of life is soul growth". These teachings were The 33 Lessons, which became part of my first book, Writing the Divine. At this time, my intuitive abilities also fully opened.
In 2011, I received another hundred pages detailing the opening to consciousness through the four passages of the heart: pain, compassion, connection and love; this receiving continues.
Today, I work with guides, angels and those from the etheric realm, as a normal, everyday part of my intuitive and energy healing practice.
Certainly, I am not the only one! There are many who are being utilized in this way. If this is your path, this course will certainly open that window for you.
How guides, angels and spirits communicate
In this course, you'll learn how to make contact with your guides, angels, the holy ones and the departed who stand ready to assist and help you. You'll learn:
The psychic "sweet spot" for connection with Divine entities, and how to get there
ĀHow guides, angels and the departed communicate with language
ĀThe importance of symbolism as a tool for interpretation
ĀHow to recognize and interpret symbolic objects correctly
Embedded emotional content as a tool for healing
ĀUnderstanding emotional flooding--what it looks and feels like
Emotions of the departed, and how these might present in your own body
ĀEmbedded emotions; what they are and how to receive them
Downloads; what they are and how to receive them
ĀHealings; what they are and how to receive them
ĀCordings and other energy connections
ĀHow to hold vibration with the Divine
ĀHow to maintain vibration with the departed
ĀHow to deal with "random" spirit folk
ĀOther aspects of safe, light-filled mediumship
ĀChanneling as an aspect of communication
ĀDivine infusions as the ultimate healing
ĀThe emotional resonance of becoming a Divine conduit, and how this changes everything
As you probably guessed, this is an intensive, emotionally rich and joyous course!
We are never alone. There is absolutely no reason to experience life with the false idea of separation--not when these glorious guides, angels and ascended are so available to each of us, in every moment.
I invite you to become a Divine conduit, and to experience this miracle for yourself.

Maryknollers are among those joining our African brothers and sisters in the struggle to survive
Christine Bodewes, in Kibera, Kenya
"Kenyan squatters have no legal rights and are abused to the point that our lawyers handled cases for 6,000 people last year," Bodewes explains. The lawyers also work to raise public awareness about the injustices in the slums and to develop a community movement, involving business interests and political leaders, to influence change.
"When human rights are respected, development takes place. When development takes place, the poor benefit with jobs. When people have salaries, the business community benefits. The whole country develops," Bodewes says. "But if nothing changes, insecurity builds fear and rage, especially among young people, that spills over into violence, and no one benefits."
The volatility of current conditions can be gauged by realizing that the slum areas around Nairobi have a combined population of some 2 million, more than 50 percent of the city's total population, yet slum dwellers live on only 1.5 percent of Nairobi's land.
Fr. William Frida, Nairobi, Kenya - St. Mary's Mission Hospital
Kibera is one of those many areas in the world where an inflamed appendix can mean quick and painful death. That was until recently, when Maryknoll Father William Fryda, a missionary priest and medical doctor, constructed a modern hospital on the edge of Kibera and designed it to deal directly with the health issues of the poor. Under the administration of the Assumption Sisters of Nairobi, St. Mary's Mission Hospital is spacious and efficient, with a trained staff of local doctors and nurses who turn no poor person away. Its row of one-story buildings, separated by grassy areas, holds 300 patient beds. The outpatient clinic handles 6,000 cases per month.
The maternity ward can deliver 40 newborns per day, often to penniless mothers. St. Mary's includes comfortable waiting areas, a small cafeteria and a chapel for prayer. "While we treat our patients' physical needs, we also want to respect their dignity as well as their emotional and spiritual needs," says Fryda, from Armour, S.D.
St. Mary's plans to enter into a cooperative project with the U.S. government's Centers for Disease Control to fight the AIDS epidemic. Two million Kenyans, or one of every seven adults, are infected. Seven hundred thousand have died. "By offering free HIV drug treatment," Fryda explains, "the project extends a lifeline to young Kenyan couples and aims to check the number of AIDS orphans."
Vicky Simon and Kevin Mestrich, Maryknoll lay Missionaries
Across town, a mother leaves her two-day-old baby in a cardboard box outside St. Martin School. With the help of the school nurse, Maryknoll Lay Missioners Vicki Simon and Kevin Mestrich try to save her. However, the baby dies in a month. Mushili is more fortunate. He was also left at the gate, but the boy, now 4, has become the school's poster child.
Leaving babies in cardboard boxes is not a unique phenomenon at St. Martin and other care-giving organizations in Kenya. It happens regularly and indicates the desperate situation of young mothers unable to nurture their babies.
Strategically located on the edge of Kibagare, another Nairobi slum, St. Martin School is part of the Kibagare Good News Centre founded by Assumption Sister Martin Wanjiru to help orphaned and destitute youth. The center includes a children's home, healthcare facility, Catholic church and feeding program in addition to St. Martin's primary school for girls and boys and secondary school for girls. About 1,000 students are currently enrolled in the primary school and 180 in the secondary school. Simon, from St. Louis, Mo., is director of fundraising and development for the center, and Maryknoll Lay Missioner Russell Brine, from Seattle, Wash., is financial controller. Minnesotan Kevin Mestrich is principal of the secondary school.
"Besides academic schooling, the center offers vocational training: dressmaking, tailoring and child care for the girls, and carpentry, mechanics and welding for the boys," Mestrich says. "Such education can provide a practical living for the majority who will not be able to go to college."
A walk through the muddy paths in Kibagare or Kibera is a transformative experience. It is a walk on the edge of tears as one realizes that the huddled men, struggling women and ragged, malnourished children are not only our global neighbors but also, genetically and spiritually, our kin. They are our brothers and sisters from whom we parted ways in prehistoric times and who are now caught in a struggle for survival.
Maryknoll missioners are among those joining our kin in their struggle through advocacy, health care and education as well as pastoral and sacramental care. "When I am in the States," Bodewes says, "people ask me, 'What can I do to help?' I tell them, 'Even more than your donations, we need your prayers. By linking your prayers with the prayers of Kenyans, we are ever more conscious of the Holy Spirit's presence in our work.' Change in Kenya will be gradual, but the victory is not in the results. It's in the struggle."
Hans Hallundbaek, a Maryknoll Affiliate, is a doctoral candidate at New York Theological Seminary. He has made several trips to Africa.

AES Broadcast 01/15/2009 Broadcast # 2009005
Common Questions - CBP Publishes AES Penalty Guidelines
In regards to AES Broadcast # 2009004 (CBP Publishes AES Penalty Guidelines) disseminated on January 13, 2009, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has received two common questions from the trade community that we would like to clarify. In addition, the publication of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Mitigation Guidelines does not change the requirements in Title 15, Part 30, Foreign Trade Regulations.
Question: Is the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) required to file the Electronic Export Information (EEI) in AES or can an authorized agent file on the USPPI's behalf?
Answer: The U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI), the USPPI's authorized agent, or the authorized U.S. agent of the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI) shall file the EEI through the AES. For further information regarding the requirements and responsibilities of the parties involved in an export transaction, see the Foreign Trade Regulations, Subpart A, §30.3.
Question: Does the low value ($2500 value or less) filing exemption still apply?
Answer: The low value exemption still applies. Export of commodities where the value of the commodities, shipped from one U.S. Principal Party in Interest to one consignee on a single exporting carrier, classified under an individual Schedule B number that is $2500 or less, are exempt from filing in the AES. This applies to individual Schedule B numbers regardless of total value of the shipment. Therefore, only report the items that are valued over $2500 per Schedule B number, unless a license is required.
For further information or questions regarding the CBP Published AES Penalty Guidelines, please contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Ms. Susan Terranova on 202-325-0009 or Mr. Christopher Pappas on 202-325-0109.

Corinne T. Field
Associate Fellow
>> Download c.v. (PDF)
Corinne, currently adjunct faculty in History at the University of Virginia, is completing a book manuscript, Perpetual Minors: Women's Rights and the Struggle for Equal Adulthood in the Atlantic World. This project recasts the history of feminism from the 1770s to the 1930s as a transatlantic and interracial struggle to win women rights and respect as fully realized adults. Interweaving political, intellectual, and social history, her book examines how women's rights activists—from Mary Wollstonecraft and Frederick Douglass to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Frances Harper—wrestled with the significance of age in the discourses of slavery, dependency, emancipation, imperialism, and equal rights.
She is co-editor of a volume tentatively titled, Age Matters: Chronological Age in American History, that brings together scholars working on the history of childhood, adulthood, old age, and fetal development to explore how chronological age has figured in the development of citizenship, work, education, medicine, and culture.
Field received her PhD in American history from Columbia University in 2008 and her BA from Stanford University in 1997. Her PhD dissertation was a finalist for the Lerner-Scott Dissertation Prize and was nominated for the Bancroft Dissertation Prize. Her next project, Minors to Men: Maturation, Gender, and Race in the Early American Republic, will examine the political significance of manhood as a stage of life.

Lacey Joins Wolfpack Ahead of 2014 Season
May 12, 2014
RALEIGH - Continuing to supplement the program's latest strong recruiting class, head coach Tim Santoro of the NC State women's soccer team recently announced the addition of Karina Lacey to the program in advance of the 2014 season.
Like the rest of the incoming class announced in February, Lacey will be immediately eligible to compete for the Wolfpack.
Karina Lacey | MF/D | VSA Heat | Haymarket, Va. | Battlefield High School
Coach Santoro's take: "Like a lot of her class, Karina can play in various spots. She's very comfortable both in the midfield and in back, likes to have the ball at her feet, and plays the game in a simple manner. Karina will thrive in this environment and is someone who I expect will develop into a solid contributor."
NC State opens the 2014 season with a home exhibition against Appalachian State on Aug. 13. The Wolfpack will then host UNC-Wilmington on Aug. 22 for its first official match of the season.

10,000 B.C.' leads with $35.9 million debut
Movie-goers went hunting for their inner caveman as they sat in the dark for the prehistoric adventure "10,000 B.C.," which led the weekend box office with $35.9 million.
The Warner Bros. visual effects spectacle, which follows a band of people struggling to survive amid woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and human marauders, also took in $25.3 million in 20 overseas markets, where it began rolling out Wednesday. It co-stars Steven Strait, pictured.
Opening in second place was Disney's Martin Lawrence comedy "College Road Trip," which pulled in $13.6 million. Lawrence stars as an overprotective dad who tags along with his daughter (Raven-Symoné) on her girls-only trek to choose a college.
Both movies put in decent numbers despite bad reviews.
Overall, business was off compared to the same time frame a year ago, an almost inevitable decline given that the blockbuster "300" opened with $71 million over that weekend in 2007. The top 12 movies took in $91.8 million, down 34 percent from the same weekend last year.
Attendance is up just 0.5 percent so far in 2008 compared to a year ago, according to box office tracker Media By Numbers.
Here are the top 10 movies for Friday through Sunday, listed by title and weekend gross, according to final figures from Nielsen EDI.
1. "10,000 B.C.," $35.9 million.
2. "College Road Trip," $13.6 million.
3. "Vantage Point," $7.4 million.
4. "The Bank Job," $5.9 million.
5. "Semi-pro," $5.8 million.
6. "The Spiderwick Chronicles," $4.7 million.
7. "The Other Boleyn Girl," $4 million.
8. "Jumper," $3.7 million.
9. "Step Up 2 the Streets," $3 million.
10. "Fool's Gold," $2.8 million.

NC State Gymnastics: A Recap of the 2015 Season

As the head coach of the Wolfpack, Stevenson has guided the gymnastics team to the postseason 27 times in the programs history. Throughout his tenure, he has been a five-time EAGL Coach of the Year (1998, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012), a five-time NCAA Regional Coach of the Year (1993, 1994, 2000, 2008, 2012). He has led the Pack to four EAGL Championships (1999, 2000, 2007, 2009, 2013) and one ACC Championship (1984). Throughout his career, Stevenson has coached 72 first-team All-EAGL selections, four EAGL Rookie of the Year award winners, three EAGL Scholar-Athletes of the Year and two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year. Stevenson also guided Brittni Watkins (2014, 2015) and Taylor Seaman (2010) to All-America honors. In addition, Stevenson has had 10 student-athletes named Academic All-American and two have been awarded ACC Postgraduate Scholarships.
In 2015, NC State finished the campaign ranked 25th in the final Troester.com poll of the season with a 9-15-1 overall record, earning its 13th-straight bid to the NCAA Regional Championship. Stevenson helped to coach Brittni Watkins and Michaela Woodford to the NCAA Championships- the first time in program history that two gymnasts have advanced together to the national level. Watkins became the first gymnast in Wolfpack history to collect multiple All-America honors, as she earned second team All-America honors on beam at the 2015 NCAA Championships- the second mention of her career. Under Stevenson's coaching, Lane Jarred and Watkins earned EAGL Championship titles together on floor at the 2015 conference championships. The Pack saw five gymnasts team All-EAGL First Team honors and three earn second team honors.
Stevenson's 2014 squad finished the year ranked 20th in the final Troester poll of the season with an 17-14-1 overall ledger and secure a postseason berth for the 12th straight year. Watkins became the second NC State gymnast in program history to be named EAGL Gymnast of the year and became the first NC State gymnast to win two events at the EAGL Championships when she captured titles on the vault and floor exercise. In addition, Watkins became the program's second All-American when she was named a regular-season All-American. Under Stevenson's tutelage, Stephanie Ouellette earned the school's second EAGL Senior Gymnast of the Year. The Pack saw three gymnasts earn All-EAGL First Team and 11 were named to the 2014 ACC Academic Honor Roll.
The 2013 campaign saw State finish the season 26th in the final Troester poll of the season with an 11-9-1 overall record and secure a postseason berth for the 11th consecutive season. The Pack captured its fifth EAGL Cahmpionship in school history and first since the 2009 campaign. Stevenson notched his 500th victory as head coach of State with a first place finish at the annual Sweetheart Invitational. Michaela Woodford became the fourth gymnast in NC State history to capture the EAGL Rookie of the Year award. The Pack saw five gymnasts named to the All-EAGL First Team and 11 were named to the 2013 ACC Academic Honor Roll.
In 2012, State advanced to its 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, as the squad finished 21-8 overall and 17th in the nation. Stevenson captured his fifth EAGL Coach of the Year Award after the squad finished the season ranked first overall in the conference. State saw six gymnasts named to the All-EAGL First Team, while 12 student-athletes were named to the EAGL All-Academic Team.
NC State returned to the NCAA Regionals for the ninth-straight year in 2011 on the momentum built by a season spent occupying the national ranks. The Wolfpack opened the season ranked 10th by Troester.com and remained in the top-25 of the national rankings for seven of 11 weeks. Freshman Stephanie Ouellette qualified for the NCAA Championship for her sixth place all-around finish at the Athens Regional. The Pack saw six gymnasts capture All-EAGL First Team honors and ten EAGL All-Academic mentions, including senior Brittany Vontz who earned the ACC Post-Graduate Scholarship and the EAGL Scholar Athlete of the Year award.
In 2010, Stevenson led the Wolfpack to a second-place finish at the EAGL Championship and an eighth-straight NCAA Regional berth. Pack gymnast Taylor Seaman became NC State's first All-American by capturing the honor on bars at the 2010 NCAA Championship. Stevenson also helped the Wolfpack to a first-place ranking on bars in the EAGL. Seaman would also earn the Kinnett Award (given to NC State's top female athlete) and the Kay Yow Award, marking the second time in as many years that a gymnast has taken home the award.
The 2009 season saw Stevenson's fifth conference championship and fourth EAGL title. In addition, all-everything standout Taylor Seaman won the floor at the NCAA Regionals to advance to the NCAA Championships. She was the only gymnast in EAGL to be named first-team all-league on all four individual events and the all-around.
His 2008 team posted a 24-8 record and had all four of the events rank in the top-27 nationally, including the nation's 15th-best floor average. The 2008 Wolfpack led EAGL in vault, beam, floor and average team score, and was second in bars.
Leigha Hancock, who Stevenson called "the best three-event gymnast in school history," was a member of the 2008 team. Hancock won the beam title at the 2008 NCAA Regional to advance to the NCAA Championships. It was her second individual event win at a regional (2006 floor), making her the first gymnast to accomplish the feat in Wolfpack history.
Stevenson has had gymnasts earn 145 spots on All-EAGL teams since NC State helped start the league in 1996. He has also coached Christi Newton, who was the league's Gymnast of the Year in 1996 and Hancock, who earned the EAGL Outstanding Senior Award in 2008. A Wolfpack gymnast has also been named EAGL Rookie of the Year five times, Kara Charles in 1998, Leigh Hancock in 2005, Taylor Seaman in 2007, Brittney Hardiman in 2008 and Michaela Woodford in 2014. Brooke Barr led EAGL with five Rookie of the Week awards in 2009 and fellow freshman Jess Panza had two such honors.
Like many of his gymnasts, Stevenson, who has 536 wins to his credit, has been recognized for his work. He has been named the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year on four occasions, in 1993, 1994, 2000, 2008 and 2012 and was named EAGL Coach of the Year in 1998, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2012.
"So much of the credit belongs to the kids," Stevenson explains. "It's hard to describe how proud I am of them. In the past, our gymnasts have been kids who weren't heavily recruited, but they have worked hard to get where they can compete with the best programs out there.
"I am especially proud of the kids for often being the underdog, but still getting the job done. We haven't won every meet, but we have beaten a lot of teams that we should not have been able to compete with. I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to have the kids come in at one level and then leave at a much higher one."
NC State's success in meets has carried over to the classroom as well. Since 1984, 107 gymnasts have been named to the ACC's academic honor roll 197 times, while 105 have also earned spots on the EAGL all-academic team, including an EAGL-best 16 in 2009. In 2004, NC State added a new award to its trophy case, as Marlyn Madey was named the EAGL Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Ashley Shepard won the honor in 2009 to cap off her career. The Wolfpack earned its highest academic honor to date following the 2000 season, when they ranked 16th in overall GPA for the 1998-99 academic year in the scholastic All-American team rankings released by the National Coaches Association. NC State was also named a 2002 NACGC/W Academic All-American team with 10 different gymnasts earning academic All-American honors.
NC State also had an impressive run going of valedictorians as Ashley Shepard made it three-straight gymnasts in 2009, joining Brooke Outland (2007) and Mackenzie Payne (2008).
"With the increase in scholarships, we've been able to recruit better students," Stevenson says. "I promised myself several years ago that if I had a choice between a fair gymnast with good grades and a good gymnast with fair grades, I would take the fair gymnast and help them become a better one."
Attendance at meets has grown with the success of the his program. NC State ranked 14th in average home attendance in 2009, drawing an average of 2,130 fans. That number was slightly higher in 2008, as the Wolfpack averaged 2,242 fans at its meets, the 12th-highest mark in the nation. In 2006, NC State once again was one of the most watched teams in the nation, notching yet another top-20 finish for attendance, with over 1,500 fans per home meet. In 1998, NC State set an EAGL single-meet attendance record with 6,196 fans for its meet against Georgia. To continue to help increase Wolfpack attendance, Stevenson has spearheaded efforts to sell season tickets and find corporate sponsors for meets.
With the increase in attendance and added interest in gymnastics, NC State hosted the first NCAA Regional Championships in the state of North Carolina in 2004, and again hosted the 2009 regionals. The Wolfpack has also played host to the EAGL Championships in 1997, 2005 and 2009.
The success of the NC State gymnastics program can be attributed to his coaching philosophy, which involves recruiting athletes who are motivated to be better at the end of four years in school, as well as finding talented walk-ons who can contribute during their career. Stevenson has first-hand experience with this approach. He began his competitive career at Iowa as a walk-on and went on to become a national championships qualifier.
"I went through the hard process of being a walk-on when I was in college," Stevenson says. "So I have a spot inside for kids who aren't satisfied with their skills and who want to work hard to become better athletes. A lot of schools don't take that approach because you have to teach them and help them develop their skills, but teaching them is what makes it fun.
"We recruit the best gymnasts we can find. We look at their academics, how much gymnastics have they already done and how long they have competed at a particular level."
Stevenson coaches gymnastics outside of the NC State program as well. Until it was sold a few years ago, he ran the Triangle Twisters, a gym school in Durham, N.C. He also runs state meets at various levels, often on weekends that the NC State team competes at home. During summers, he coaches at Woodward Gymnastics Camp in Woodward, Pa., where he is a director. He is also an officer of the EAGL, serving as the league's secretary and is responsible for awards at the league championships.
Prior to coming to NC State in 1980 as an assistant coach for the men's gymnastics team, Stevenson served as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts for one season. The Minutemen compiled an 11-3 record and produced one All-American during his tenure.
Stevenson graduated from Iowa in 1978 with a B.S. degree in recreational education. At Iowa, he served as a team captain during his senior season. At the Big Ten Conference Championships in 1978, he placed second in the vault and qualified for the NCAA Championships, where he scored a 9.45. In 1984, Stevenson earned his master's degree in recreational resources administration from NC State.

All About Whale Sharks
Ever wondered what the biggest fish in the ocean is? The whale shark is the answer! Often mistaken for a whale species the whale shark is in fact the largest shark species and overall fish species in the ocean. With an enormous mouth that can reach up to 4 feet wide these sharks can swallow a human whole! Lucky for us, whale sharks are filter feeders with their usual prey including plankton, krill, small fish and squid. Generally, whale sharks are considered harmless to humans and usually aren't even a problem for divers. Up to 46 feet long and tipping the scales at up to 15 tons this is one monster that could scare you out of the water anyway! Though gigantic, whale sharks are incredibly slow moving only 3 miles per hour. This slow pace means it takes them quite some time to get anywhere. However, good news is whale sharks can live from 100 to 150 years so they've got plenty of time to get around!
Monterey Bay and Attractions
The beautiful Monterey Bay is a Pacific Ocean bay located along the central coast of California between Santa Cruz and Monterey. Monterey Bay is home to a mass variety of marine animals like seals, dolphins and otters and is even on the migratory path of some whale species. Multiple species of fish, sharks, and similar marine life inhabit the Bay along with several varieties of kelp that grow into enormous kelp forest. Another interesting feature of Monterey Bay is the Monterey Canyon, one of the world's largest underwater canyons. Beyond its sheer natural beauty, visitors are also attracted to Monterey Bay to peruse the Monterey Bay Aquarium. With around 550 species of marine life on display, visitors can spend all day exploring the awe inspiring exhibits the aquarium has to offer. From turtles and jelly fish to their own kelp forest the Monterey Bay Aquarium presents the natural beauty of the bay in a safe and organized environment that visitors of all ages are sure to enjoy.

Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi
From: 2016.06.22 To: 2016.06.24
Official website:
The first ever day-night race in Formula 1, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was first hosted on the Yas Marina Circuit in 2009first took place in 2009 with Formula 1. Full of twists and turns, it is quite challenging as a course.High speed, high performance and high adrenaline is what you can expect from Formula One. The "formula" refers to restrictions and rules placed by race officials and teams, but don't worry, these machines still reach race speeds reach 360 km/h (220 mph) with engines revving up to 18,000 RPMs and the cars are capable of pulling in excess of 5 G-force through the curves. With this kind of performance it is no surprise F1 is the world's most expensive sport. Race weekends are a spectacle even if you are not an automotive afficionado. Typically the first day is reserved for pit tours and inspecting the machines, the next day is for time trials, and race day is usually on Sundays. Sitting in the audience you'll feel your seat rattle as the cars wizz by and you'll be envied by the nearly 55 million fans watching the race on television.

We found that the pseudo binary alloys Mn1-xRux 3Ga, with 0.33≤x≤0.67, have an ordered b.c.c. structure. The lattice constant a is almost constant with respect to x: a=6.000 Å for x=0.33 and a=5.992 Å for x=0.67. For the alloy with x=0.33, i.e. Mn2RuGa, the magnetization is almost saturated in a field of 20 kOe. The saturation magnetization at 4.2 K is 23 emu/g, and the Curie temperature, TC, is 460 K. The TC of (Mn1-xRux)3Ga decreases almost linearly with increasing x, and it vanishes around x=0.67 (MnRu2Ga). We also determined atomic and magnetic structures from neutron diffraction experiments. The alloy Mn2RuGa (x=0.33) has an ordered structure of CuHg2Ti type; the magnetic Mn atoms mainly occupy the 4a (0,0,0) and 4d \(\frac\Box3\Box\Box4\Box\),\(\frac\Box3\Box\Box4\Box\),\(\frac\Box3\Box\Box4\Box\) sites. We also observedthat the magnetic moments of Mn atoms on the 4a and 4d sites are antiparallel to each other; values of the magnetic moment are μa=4.6 and μd=3.3 μB per Mn atom.

The Waterfall Method of modification is a a standard formula that is used on all HAMP loan mods. You must pass this calculation if you are going to get approved-so it is important to understand how it works.
The benefit of using the Calculator to figure out your own specific financial
requirements for passing the Waterfall Method is that you can learn ahead of time just where you may need to make adjustments in order to pass. The loan modification Calculator will automatically compute and display:
- Monthly income requirements
- Debt Ratio
- New loan terms, including: interest rate, length of loan term, eligibility for principal reduction
What is the Waterfall Method of Modification? It is a series of loan term changes that are used in order to obtain the new target mortgage payment. This new payment will equal 31% of your gross monthly income and is designed to be affordable and sustainable. A loan modification will only be offered to those borrowers whose financial situation passes this test.
- First, lower the interest rate to as low as 2% for a 30 year term
- If the target payment cannot be reached, then extend the loan term out to 40 years.
- If still more is needed, then reduce the principal balance to reach the target payment.
The loan modification calculator will instantly show you if you are a PASS or a FAIL for the Waterfall. You may need to fine tune your budget figures in order to pass-your monthly income may be too high or too low. If you don't know this ahead of time then you may not be able to complete your financial worksheet correctly, and your lender will not approve you.
The loan mod calculator will instantly compute and display your new loan terms-and show you how to get the very best loan workout you can qualify for! How do you know what to ask for if you do not know the Waterfall Method?
Get the real answers you need to apply correctly-use the powerful, proven system designed specifically for homeowners. The Complete Loan Modification Guide kit includes the Loan Modification Calculator and gives you the specific, detailed information you
need in order to pass the Waterfall Method. Visit MyLoanModificationCenter.com today for more information and get started now.

These are ostensibly Cochin chickens, or forerunners of what we'd call Cochins today. They're a breed with a *lot* of character, and are uniquely suited, temperamentally, for being "pet" chickens moreso than egg factories or walking meat supplies. Despite the name (after a part of India), they're originally from China.

This is an artist's impression of a planet just discovered by NASA's Kepler mission that's gotten the folks at SETI all excited.
It's the most Earth-like planet yet discovered. Kepler 452b sits in the "Goldilocks" zone around its star, not too hot and not too cold, and is about the same size (or is a little larger) and made of something like the same stuff as the planet we're sitting around on right now. It takes 365 days to orbit around its sun, too. NASA's calling it ou…

- Thanks to everyone who updated his/her list regularly throughout 2010.
- You can join the 2011 Edition!
This list tracks how many films players have watched in 2010. Shorts (less than 40 minutes), made-for-TV movies, and TV series do not count toward one's 'score'. I'm allowing direct-to-video/dvd ("video/dvd premieres"), theatrical features shown on TV, and repeat viewings.
And of course: your list needs to be numbered!
Many thanks to dayfornight - he now is called scottwblack - who maintained the original list. Thanks to Lukeprog who did a great job maintaining the list for 2005!
And all hail Rosie for holding the list in 2006 and 2007!
And thanks also to those who continue to play.
I'd like to join: http://www.listology.com/dashforcover/list/movies-seen-2010
I'd like to join
I made a new account for this, because every time I try to post a message with my regular account, the spam filter is triggered, thus not allowing me to post my message.
I'll try and keep up...
I'm in (again), and thanks, Kaplan, for keeping this going another year!:
I'm in. Although I perpetually finish middle to low in the pack, I like to be part of the obsessive pursuit all the same. Thanks, kaplan, for keeping the fire burning!
Update #01 (18 January) - Although we have a few strong new players, rudolf55, the winner of last year, has already taken the lead, with almost twice as much films as the runner-up, dashforcover.
A couple questions (this is my first year!):
Is it typical to mark a rewatch? I haven't been doing this, but wondered if that's common practice.
Also, when you say "made-for-tv movies" are you referring to anything & everything that was made for tv? for instance, HBO documentaries, BBC documentaries, etc.
Update #02 (25 January) - Biggest change: WB, who jumped from 12 to 5. I'm twelfth and last now. But that'll change ;-)
Sounds harmless enough, count me in. I'll begin numbering my list. (http://listology.com/tomelce/list/films-seen-2010)
Of those I have listed so far, I think I have one that's a made-for-tv documentary and another that's a documentary.
Welcome. Documentaries are no problem, a made-for-tv documentary is, though. So, it shouldn't be on your list (or at least not counted), if you want to play. Which film is it?
I'll play again! http://listology.com/hinterland/list/films-seen-2010
Just in case you don't see my reply on my list I'll ask to play on here as well please.
Update #03 (01 February) - Seven new players, four of them immediately entered the top 10. We've 19 players now. I'm wondering if we'll beat the record from 2008, when we had 27 players. I went down three places, to 15, but as predicted I'm not last anymore. And I'll be having, fingers crossed, a week full of films, so I'm aiming at the top 10 next Monday.
I'd like to play http://listology.com/ghimm/list/movies-seen-2010
Can you add me on? Hopefully whatever problem plagued my list last year won't happen again.
Why not? I'll play again:
I'd like to join too!
Thanks for the invitation! I'd like to play:
Thanks for the invitation! I'd like to play:
Yeah sure, I'm in. http://www.listology.com/elston/list/film-log-2010
Thanks for the invite. I'll join although i would've done better last year... http://www.listology.com/bpchicky/list/movie-log-2010
sure, why not... count me in :)
Update #04 (08 February) - 11 new players again. Two of them debuted in the top 3, but no one is even coming near to rudolf55. We have 30 players now, that's more than the record of 27 from 2008, but like every year we'll also lose some players along the way. After a week full of films, I even saw more films than rudolf55, I went from 15 to 7, but it'll be a hard call for me to stay in the top 10.
I've done that before and it then numbers everything (title, months etc)
Of course! Forgot to tell you: use an underscore at the beginning of every line that you don't want to be numbered.
I want in http://listology.com/aaliyah16/list/films-seen-2010
I will start my list today; its listed somewhere else but i enjoy the way this website is build so im packing and coming here =)
I will post the link here soon.
Ps: this is a nice idea =)
Looking forward to it.
Thanks for the sweet words, but the compliment has to go to dayfornight aka scottwblack, who came up with the idea in the first place.
Update #05 (15 February) - 5 new players again, one of them entered the top 10. So, we have 35 players now, and as soon as elusyn's list will be numbered, we'll have one more. Most impressive change this week: rwebb from 9 to 2. I saw only five films and went from 7 tot 10. Like I said last week: it'll be a hard call for me to stay in the top 10.
Yeah, might as well add me for this year's version.
Update #06 (22 February) - One new player.
For the first time this year the top 5 hasn't changed. Nice jump: ghimm from 15 to 10. Not updating one's list or not seeing a film, can be costly: WB from 8 tot 12, nyybella from 12 to 18. I went down one place, to 11.
Update #06 (22 February) - Extra!
Made an error: I placed tom_elce with 70 films 4th and McJoJo with 65 3rd. Although there'll be a new update tonight, I still corrected it. Thanks to ghimm for pointing this out.
Dammit, I was doing much better before kaplan started recruiting everyone... :-)
I'm gonna have to quit the contest, I really should quit
watching this many movies. And as long as I'm in a contest
I want to win it, so it's not doing much good.
So, good luck to y'all
and enjoy all of those movies.
Update #07 (01 March) - We lost one player, McJoJo, cfr. his comment. He was 4th at the previous update. No big changes this week, but nice little jumps from dashforcover (6 to 4), ghimm (10 to 7), Ultimo Lee (13 to 10) and jaimeblack (17 to 12). I stayed 11th, despite seeing only one film last week.
ah! I posted a film literally moments after you updated the list... alas... i'll have to wait until next week.
Why don't you count "Made for TV movies"? Just curioius
Update #08 (08 March) - ejones made the most impressive leap, from 9 to 5, thanks to scoring 22 films this week (although they were the result of a few weeks, since (s)he hadn't updated for a while). WB is in for an even bigger leap, the day he numbers his list correctly. jaimeblack, after a few strong weeks in a row, entered the top 10. Cosgrove (from 15 tot 12) might be another contender for the top 10. I saw one lousy film, altough it was far from a lousy film, and I went from 11 tot 14. Serves me right!
Sorry that I sometims have my own way of numbering my lists, and thanks for the effort of taking a second look and getting things right. :-)
So much to do so little time. ;-) But I guess I'm in the game for the top 3, once I finally update all my Berlin Film Festival viewings.
Update #09 (15 March) - We have one new player, mattmakins, who entered the game at #25. Not much changes for the rest. Some people who didn't update lost some places. Cosgrove indeed got to the top 10. Biggest jump: Imposter from 21 to 17. Thanks to 9 films I gained one spot, am at 13 now.
Update #10 (22 March) - WB numbered his list correctly and jumped from 11 to 4. Ejones, who hasn't added any films the past two weeks, went down from 5 (two weeks ago) to 10. Apart from that, no big changes. I went down, with only two films this week, from 13 to 14.
Update #11 (05 April) - First of all: my apologies for the missed update on 29 March. Normally, I'll warn when there's no update, but that week I unexpectedly wasn't able to update until Thursday, and that seemed useless to me. Most striking changes: Cosgrove entered the top 10 (on 10), julesyoung fell out of it (8 to 11). Tatum's list has disappeared. As a matter of fact, all of his content has disappeared. At the previous update he had 33 films on his list. And, oh, I went down again, from 14 to 15.
Update #12 (12 April) - Most important change: dashforcover took the second spot, at the expense of rwebb. Some players who hadn't given a sign of life for weeks, did update their lists. Great! And, yes, yours truly went down again: from 15 to 16.
It probably wouldn't have made a difference regarding my longheld spot of 5, but the Coachella festival & all my preparations leading up to it kept me from seeing a full movie for over a week. I'm back, however! A little sore, but back.
This has been really fun so far, by the way!
Update #13 (19 April) - A quiet week, with ghimm going down from 9 to 12 and Imposter climbing from 19 to 15. And I, with one film this week, went down from 16 to 19. I had aimed at the top 10, at the start of this game, but I'll be struggling to stay in the top 20, if this continues.
End of a quarter... lots of grading to do... hopefully I can get myself back on track
Update #14 (26 April) - Another week with little changes. The most striking one: Cosgrove going from 9 to 6. That amounts to a gain of nine places in seven weeks (he was # 15 at update 07). Will he be a threat to the top 5 - a top 5 that hasn't changed this week. I saw three films and won one spot, from 19 to 18.
Update #15 (03 May) - Is the top of the Scoreboard already taking its definitive form? This week the top 6 didn't change. Most striking change: Ultimo Lee from 11 to 8. And yes, WB dropped out of the top 10 again, but he'll be back once he updates his list. I saw five films and went from 18 to 17.
Update #16 (17 May) - No update on May 10th. Top 4 didn't change, Cosgrove (6 to 5) entered the top 5. Ghim (11 to 8) and jaimeblack (13 to 10) entered the top 10. No one fell out of it, since we have, due to a triple tie on place 10, 12 players in the top 10. I saw three films and stayed stationary on place 17.
Update #17 (24 May) - On May 24th, after 144 days, rudolf55 had seen 288 films, an average of two a day. That would mean 730 films at the end of the year, which would be the best Scoreboard result since 2006. Meanwhile, dashforcover has lost the second place to rwebb. Julesyoung and jaimeblack fell out of the top 10, they share the 11th spot. No one entered the top 10, since last week we had threeway tie on 10. Not much movement in the lower half of the Scoreboard. With only one film, I lost one place. I'm 18th now.
I'd like to join: http://www.listology.com/laivaren/list/movies-ive-watched-2010
Update #18 (31 May) - rudolf55 has been slowing down a bit this week: with 300 films in 151 days, the expected end result now is 725. The top 4 didn't change, Cosgrove jumped from 7 to 5, ejones fell from 6 to 8. I saw 6 films and went from 18 to 16.
Update #19 (7 June) - No changes in the top 9 this week. It's been, by far, the calmest week of the year: only 4 players aren't on the same spot as last week. rudolf55's expected end result went down to 720. Forgot to add Laivaren, will do so next week. I saw 8 films and stayed 16th.
Damn missed the update, would have been up to 6th as well.
I'll be working at sea this summer, so I'll come stronger back in august.
I was busy with other stuff for most of May and until now. Plus I'm watching 14 part Berlin Alexanderplatz. Shocked I didn't drop way down!
Speaking of which, can I claim more than 1 movie for Berlin Alexanderplatz? Just kidding.
Update #20 (14 June) - We have one new player, Laivaren on 13. The top 6 didn't change. Most remarkable change: julesyoung from 12 to 9. But the difference between the numbers 7 (153 films) and 12 (146) is very small.
rudolf55 added 22 films to his list this week, so his expected end result grew from 720 to 739. I saw only two films and dropped from 16 to 18.
Update #21 (21 June) - The top 6 didn't change, again. Most remarkable change: julesyoung from 9 to 7, which means that in three weeks time he went from 12 to 7! But the difference between the numbers 6 (162 films) and 12 (149) stays quite small. rudolf55 added 13 films to his list this week, so his expected end result went down from 739 to 736. I saw 11 films and went from 18 to 17.
Update #22 (28 June) - Most remarkable change in the top 10: Ultimo Lee went from 8 to 6. The differences stay small: only 8 films between the number 5 (175) and the number 8 (167). I saw only 3 films, but still I went from 17 to 16.
Can I join? I just started listing so I'll be behind for a while.
Yes you can, but only with a list that contains films from 2010. 'Movies I've seen lately' is too vague a name. So, if you change the name into, for instance, 'Movies I've seen in 2010', it will be fine.
Update #23 (05 July) - Most remarkable change in the top 10: dashforcover is back at the second place, which he had lost to rwebb on May 24. Apart from that: only small changes. I saw 8 films and stayed 16th.
Update #24 (19 July) - First update in two weeks. Most remarkable change in the top 10: Ultimo Lee jumped from 6 to 4. After 200 days, rudolf55 is first, with 373 films or 146 more than the number 2, dashforcover. rudolf55 is heading for an end result of 681 films.
We have a new, 37th player, nukualofa, who entered the game at number 37.
I saw 7 films, and went from 16 to 15.
Alas, I'm going to have to drop WAY down in the running. I accidentally deleted most of my movies from A through O. And no way to recover. Boo hoo hoo. But, I'll take my knocks and stay in the list. What saddens me the most is the loss of the dates! And the unusual ones that were just accidental titles I noticed were on. I'll do some recovery but ...
Update #25 (26 July) - No changes in the top 8. And no big changes in the rest of the list either.
I saw ten films and climbed from 15 tot 14.
Hey, kaplan:
Had a few emergencies, and missed most of the year- could you add me back in? I lost the list from before, but I just wanted to get my name in so I could win next year...ha!
Update #26 (02 August) - Yes, that's minus 16 for dashforcover. He had problems with his list, and lost a lot of titles. And two spots in the ranking, since he went from 2 to 4. That's the most important change of the week. The difference between Cosgrove (#7) and jaimeblack (#10) is only eight films. I wish I could have been competing with them, but I didn't see enough films during the spring. And with six films this hasn't been a great week either. I saw six films and went from 14 tot 15.
Update #27 (16 August) - First update in two weeks. Dashforcover lost one more place and is fifth now. The most exciting part of the game for the moment: who's gonna end up in the top ten. Am I wrong when I think that rudolf55, rwebb, Ultimo Lee, tom_elce, dashforcover and julesyoung will occupy the first six spots, though not necessarily in that order. And that we have six other candidates for the remaining four spots: Cosgrove, ghimm, ejones, jaimeblack, southbounder and Maniac Mansion? Of course, if WB starts numbering his list properly, he could be a contender. And maybe Imposter, TenthAvenueFreezeOut or myself can still surprise? The past years you could end in the top ten with 248 (2006), 232 (2008), 202 (2009) even as little as 185 (2007) films. This year, I expect, you'll need almost 300 films. Although that's still not as many as in the Scoreboard's first year, when the number ten saw 356 films!
We have a new old player: Tatum is back!
It's the first update without any ties.
I saw 16 films and stayed 15th.
My goal for the year is to see 365 films. I moved the "made for TV" movies and documentaries to another list so the list used for this count is proper AND so I can see the real numbers. I hated having some listed, but un-numbered because they did not qualify here. And I believe I've successfully restored the vast majority I lost from July, thanks to kaplan and my habit of rating films I've seen on Netflix.
i have the same 365 goal. it's gonna be kind of tough at this point. i'm going to have to see 167 more movies this year to reach it, but we'll see. i want to plan some themed double feature nights with friends, so hopefully that'll help out. good luck to you!
The reason why I haven't updated my list (numbered it properly) is that because of some other occupations I had forgotten to write down all the films I've seen (I think I'd probably be in no.2 spot right now...).
Right now I have no clue about 50 to 60 films I've seen this year. Stil trying to find a way to remember all those titles, so I won't update till I either complete my search or give up and number what I remember.
Found a simple and effective way to number my list without bothering you with my "missing" films.
So I'm back in the game!! :-D
Update #28 (23 August) - Not much time to ponder about the changes this week. Since there aren't much, it isn't really a problem. For the second week in a row we have no ties. Dashforcover has recuperated some titles, so he's third again. I saw 7 films and stayed 15th. That's all folks.

There was a visitor Wednesday night at Comcast Center with whom many in the Washington, D.C., area are familiar.
Flip Saunders, formerly the head coach of the Washington Wizards, was in attendance during Maryland's 74-66 win over Notre Dame. Saunders is now the President of Basketball Operations of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
So who could soon be making their way to the NBA, possibly with Saunders' Timberwolves?
Jake Layman has piqued the interest of NBA scouts, considering the success of a player he is often compared to, Houston's Chandler Parsons. His ability to shoot from the outside, combined with his athleticism and ability to attack the basket, has those at the next level intrigued.

Layman has been slumping of late as defenses begin to game plan specifically to make him a non-factor. He has scored in double figures just once in the past five games after doing so in 11 of Maryland's first 13 games of the season.
He had eight points on 3-of-7 shooting from the floor against Notre Dame.
Dez Wells also remains on some NBA radars. His size is his most obvious positive attribute. Already with an NBA body, Wells showed the type of scorer's mentality on Wednesday that is attractive to teams at the next level.
After going scoreless in the first half, he played smart basketball in the second. He adjusted his game and attacked the basket, making 11-of-11 free throws in the final 20 minutes on his way to 17 points.
