AFTLS present A Midsummer Night's Dream
Sat, October 2, 2010 • 7:00 PM • Winedale Theater Barn- Round Top, Texas
Actors from the London Stage returns to The University of Texas at Austin this fall with a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Employing just five actors to assume all the roles in a Shakespearean drama, Actors from the London Stage performances are minimalist in terms of props and staging, intimate and compelling. The performances emphasize language, characterization, and dramatic energy; the results are startlingly clear and powerful, even magical, for audiences of all ages in a way that large-scale productions in the big theaters of Stratford and London can never be. The actors also lead workshops in classes around campus.
This year's residency will begin on September 27, and performances will be September 29-October 1, at 7:30pm at the McCullough Theatre on campus. Tickets to on-campus performances will be available on the UT Performing Arts Center Website in early August. Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 for all UT ID holders, college and non-college students, and seniors. Please be aware that there are service charges associated with purchasing tickets from the UT PAC.
For an extra special performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, come out to Winedale for the Saturday night performance at 7:00 on October 2. Tickets to the Winedale AFTLS performance are available now. Tickets are $10 for UT ID holders and non-UT students; $20 for others.
Learn more about the AFTLS program here.
For more information about these performances, please contact Liz Fisher, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-471-4726.

O'Brien says that he, too, has taken his share of stylists to court for violating non-compete agreements. He doesn't rule out more lawsuits so long as the number of rental-booth salons continues to rise. As a board member of The Salon Association, an Arizona-based lobbying arm of the hair-care industry, O'Brien says rental-booth studios now comprise nearly 90 percent of the salon industry nationwide. In Missouri, rental-booth operations account for fewer than half of all hair studios, according to the state's cosmetology licensing board, but the gap is quickly narrowing.
The reason for the rising tide of rental booths is simple, says O'Brien. "At its roots, it's a tax issue. Rental booths promise stylists more money, but it's only because there is no third-party salon owner making sure the employees pay their taxes," he explains. "Many of these rental booths operate on cash only no checks, no credit cards nothing for the IRS."
Even more troubling, says Denise Edgar, owner of D-Zine Hair & Art Studio in University City, is the dubious manner in which rental-booth salons solicit the stylists in her employ they send recruitment letters directly to D-Zine.
"Then there are the fake appointments," Edgar adds. "They'll book an entire wedding party for haircuts and coloring, and then no one will show up. Their objective is to get your employees so frustrated that they'll leave for another salon."
A non-compete can guard against such subterfuge. At the same time, clarifies Edgar, the contracts are not meant to be "leg irons" for employees who have justifiable reason to leave an employer.
Kootman says his goal is not to prevent his former stylists from earning a living; he just doesn't want them interfering with his business. On that issue, the salon owner remains as prickly and defiant as the spiked and tussled coiffure atop his head.
"They say I'm the Big Bad Wolf and I'm lawsuit-crazy," Kootman says. "Well, I'm here to say Little Red Riding Hood is not as innocent as she sounds. This isn't a fairy tale. It's business, and they broke the rules."

106 stones, statues vandalized in fourth attack on Longmont's Mountain View Cemetery
LONGMONT, Colo. - For the fourth time since the beginning of July, headstones are lying on the ground after vandals attacked Longmont's Mountain View Cemetery.
Cemetery manager Tracey George said the attack that occurred Saturday night was the worst so far, with more headstones or statues damaged than in the previous three attacks combined.
A Civil War monument donated to the cemetery in 1907 by the Women's Relief Corps was the tallest and most expensive item vandalized this weekend. The statue's base is engraved with the words, "In memory of our honored dead."
"Everything here is hand carved and to find anybody who does that kind of trade anymore is going to be hard," George said. "We figure it's going to be somewhere between $20,000 to $50,000 just to replace this statue."
Shoe marks on the pedestal appear to indicate one or more people climbed up to topple the statue.
An annual Memorial Day ceremony is usually held beside the statue.
"It's really disheartening that they actually tore up our military stones. That's probably the hardest thing that they hit this time," George said.
Her brother, Dan Dunston, is the assistant manager.
"My grandfather is buried here, and my father," he said. "Our family has managed this for 26 years. Everything here is part of our family."
He said it will take days to set the headstones upright, and some will need to be lifted with front end loaders.
"I'd love the kids who did this to come help put them back up," he said. "Let them find out what real work is."
Long rows of headstones, some weighing up to two tons, now lie toppled in rows like dominos.
"I have no idea what they were thinking to do this to our cemetery," George said.
George said that 51 stones were damaged in an attack on July 31, 20 were damaged on July 18 and eight were damaged during the 4th of July holiday weekend.

Recipe by Glenda
" Just like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell, this pie is sweet, chocolaty and gooey. Flour, eggs, sugar, butter, chocolate bits, and pecans make the filling for this delightful pie that bakes in about an hour."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
butter, melted and cooled
1 cup
pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
The first time I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, I followed a recipe exactly like this one other than calling for 1 cup(!) of butter rather than 1/2 cup. It turned out very greasy. I also cooked it longer than 1 hour... until the center seemed set. This caused my butter-saturated crust to also be nearly burnt. 1/2 cup of butter worked out much better, the pie is rich but not oozing melted butter. I also only cooked for the specified hour. When still warm, the pie is goopy and not that good, but after chilling it sets up perfectly and tastes like chocolate chip cookies in pie form, so I definitely advise only cooking for an hour even if it seems underdone when you take it out of the oven (like pecan pie). Serve chilled with whipped cream.
My husband and I found this to be way too sweet and not what we had in mind. I had a chocolate chip pie served to me about a year ago that was wonderful, and I've been on a mission since to recreate the recipe. This wasn't it.
If I made this recipe again, I would use less white sugar, add in some brown, and use more flour.

This was awesome. I followed the recipe exactly. I baked for exactly 60 minutes and it came out set and lovely. I sent it to work with my husband and he loved it. He said it was just like eating a chocolate chip cookie, only better, because it was nicely paired with the pie crust, which added a buttery, flaky flavor to it. (I had used butter-flavored shortening in the crust.) Thank you! ** Edit: I have made this several times now and it is always exceedingly well received. The last time, I tasted it myself and can say that it is quite delicious. It doesn't have the texture of a chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell; rather, the filling is more like the texture of a pecan pie, while it tastes like a chocolate chip cookie (from the semi-sweet chocolate). It is very decadent and would go famously served warm with ice cream or a little whipped cream.
I used walnuts instead of pecans because that's the way my mom always made it. This was perfect. My husband is from the city and I'm a country girl. When he first looked at it, he asked me what the hell it was. After he ate it, he was taken. Perfect recipe.
This was really good, the whole family liked it. The second time I made it, I used only 3/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I thought it added a little more flavor to the cookie.
i would give this recipe 10 stars if i could. this pie is delicious! i've been making it for several years & everyone loves it. occasionally i haven't had the required chocolate chips and have used peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips or a mixture and while it DOES change the taste, it is still yummy! i like the pie a little "under done" as it comes out like warm cookie dough as opposed to a pie. that is perfection to me!
I made this to last the week....it didn't even last the weekend. We'll be making this again! I omitted the nuts.
Soooooooo good! I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup and used brown instead of white. I also increased the flour by 1/4 cup. It really does taste just like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust! My kids were in heaven. :)

The game may have come out eleven years ago, but many PC gamers still consider Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn to be BioWare's finest work.
Assuming that to be the case, how does the soon-to-be-released Dragon Age 2 stack up against the company's best game ever? Apparently, quite well.
It compares so well, actually that the game's lead designer, Mike Laidlaw, finds that DA2 has some of his favorite writing of any BioWare game to date.
"[Baldur's Gate 2] had characters that were incredibly memorable," Laidlaw tells News10's Game Guys. "Characters like Edwin or Minsc with his crazed crusade against all things evil. And I think that what we deliver with Dragon Age 2 a deeper tactical experience."
In fact, Laidaw says that the game actually does a better job at making the party work together. Working together is a big part of the game and is essential for defeating the game's tougher foes.
"Our characters, our story we're telling I think is incredibly memorable," concluded Laidlaw.

About: I am a true Husker fan at heart who never misses a football game. My ideal day would be to wake up and play an early morning round of golf, watch some Husker football and enjoy some authentic Kansas City barbeque in the process. I love the outdoors and have enjoyed exploring Toledo's metro parks. They are great. Excited for the future of Emergency Medicine and to be a part of it. I can see myself returning to the Kansas City or Omaha area upon graduating but as long as I am in the Midwest, I will be happy.

Kanye West is known just as much for pissing people off as he is for his hot tracks. Between the Taylor Swift debacle and hating on George W. Bush, he is pretty much the mouth that launched a thousand memes. But now 'Ye has found forgiveness and absolution from the Canadian Messiah himself, Justin Bieber. The teen titan defends the controversial rapper in the latest issue of XXL Magazine. Well ok, "defends" is a bit strong. But he says Kanye "isn't really an a–hole," and we'll take what we can get.
"I got to be in the studio with him and work with him and see how he works and talk to himâ€â€and talk to him as a friend, and not like someone [in the] business,†says the Biebs. "He's not really an a–hole like everyone makes him out to be. I mean, he can do bad things, but he's really generally a good guy. He can make bad decisions, you know, as well as everyone can. But generally I think he is a good guy.†The two started a Twitter bromance last year with a series of flattering tweets, before recording a remix of  Kanye's  "Runaway Love." No word yet if Yeezy is receiving threats from jealous Belieber tweens who claim Justin as their own. Watch your back, Kanye!

My boyfriend Chris and I were taking our dog to the beach for a swim, like we usually do. I was wondering why my boyfriend was bringing his snorkel, but I didn't put it together. When we got to the beach, I started throwing the ball for our dog, Bailey. I did this a few times and noticed that Chris was snorkeling around in the pond but not paying any attention to Bailey. We don't normally snorkel in the pond. Again, I didn't put it together. He then started asking me to walk out into the pond to see what he had found. I protested because I was wearing long pants and did not want to get them wet. We went back and forth for a while about some silly shell that he wanted to show me when he finally agreed to bring the "shell " to me to see. He then pulled the "shell " out of the water, and it was actually a ring. He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was so shocked that by the time some onlooker had walked over to ask if congratulations were in order, Chris replied with, "I don't know yet. " I then said yes!

Cold weather will push up vegetable prices
Phoenix -- This rare cold snap that put the state in the deep freeze will force Arizonans to shell out more for broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce.
The Yuma area supplies most of the nation's winter vegetable crops and the area felt the impacts of the big chill.
Phil Townsend is a pest control adviser in Yuma and said higher prices can be expected at stores for at least a couple of weeks.
"Crops could be delayed to maturity causing a possible decrease in the amount of lettuce and vegetables available on the market."
Last year winter lettuce prices were about $7 per carton. They're now at $25 per carton following the freeze.

The Motorola Droid RAZR HD is the flagship model of a new RAZR lineup for Verizon that debuted today and also includes the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD and Motorola DROID RAZR M. All three devices center around a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and speedy Android optimizations, but the selling point of the RAZR HD is right in the name: its gorgeous 4.7-inch HD display.
Spec-wise, the RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD are nearly identical, with a smaller 2,500mAh battery being the only difference better the non-MAXX and MAXX version. Holding true to its name, the RAZR HD is a skinny handset that makes even last year's model look a bit bulky (the MAXX HD carries some added girth).
Overall, the device is an improvement in every area, from software to hardware. The design is sleek and futuristic, the OS experience is clean, and everything really pops on the display.
Check out our first-look video, which also includes footage of the RAZR M. Though smaller and priced more affordably, the RAZR M doesn't cheat users in terms of power. We'll have a bit more in-depth coverage on that device later (Motorola was kind enough to offer us one as a parting gift). The RAZR M is available next week for $99. The RAZR HD will be available closer to the holiday season in both black and white color options.

In carriers we (don't) trust
By BenefitsPro
By Kathryn Mayer
What do carriers have in common with oil companies and the tobacco industry?
Every one of them is among the least trusted industries in the eyes of consumers.
In news that might encourage carriers to consider their New Year's resolutions, a Harris poll of 2,250 adults found that just 7 percent trust the health insurance industry. Only 6 percent said they trusted managed care companies, such as HMOs.
Though still dismal, trust for life insurance companies and big pharma — both at 10 percent — fared a little better.
In context, health insurance barely managed to edge out the least trusted industries: Three percent of Americans said they trust tobacco companies, while 4 percent said they trust oil companies.
Hospitals were much more trusted among Americans, with 28 percent saying they view them as trustworthy.
A third (34 percent) of Americans said health insurance should be more regulated by government. They also shared that same sentiment toward pharmaceuticals (39 percent) and managed care companies (24 percent).
Still, the percentage of Americans who want health insurance and managed care more regulated actually dropped 6 points from last year, possibly in line with a drop in support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - You might expect nothing less from Twins catcher Joe Mauer and his pregnant wife, Maddie - newborn twins.
The ballclub says Emily and Maren Mauer arrived Wednesday morning after dad made it home to Minnesota for the births. Mauer was scratched from the Twins' lineup Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif., so he could rush back for the debut of his twin girls.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says the original due date for the twins was Aug. 31, but Mauer said recently that doctors told them the babies could arrive at any time.

'It's just been hard'
Carrots too small to sell. Cauliflower that never matured. Broccoli that wasn't sellable.
Those were some of the impacts of this year's heavy rainfall that Jillian Mickens said she and her husband saw on Open Door Farm, the farm they operate on half an acre in Orange County.
The fields were too wet to use the tractor, delaying when they could plant their spring crops, Mickens said. That didn't leave enough time for the crops to mature before the heat and pests settled in, she said.
"We had less to sell and that really stinks because we had all this money that we had anticipated having from all of our spring crops and had none of it," Mickens said.
She also said their summer crops were affected. Excess moisture led to damage on some of their tomatoes, she said, and to mildew on their cucumbers.
They aren't the only farmers to report problems from this year's rainfall. Other farmers in the area reported delays in when they could both plant and harvest, higher incidences of plant disease, and lower quality in some of their products.
Ryan Boyles, state climatologist and the director of the State Climate Office of North Carolina, said a gauge at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport recorded the wettest May, June and July on record.
There was a total of 18.08 inches of rain recorded in the three-month period, he said, 6.6 inches above normal. That's the highest out of 69 years of data for that three-month period. The closest was in 1984 at 17.71 inches.
David Walker, the owner of Walker's Farm in Hillsborough, said his wheat, soybeans, corn, hay, tomatoes, cantaloupes, cucumbers, squash, and strawberries were hurt by the amount of rain.
Walker said he owns about 140 acres and leases an additional 700 acres, some of which is for pasture. The farm has been transitioning since 2004 from tobacco to vegetable, beef and hay production. He sells crops at farmers' markets in Hillsborough and in Durham.
"It has really been devastating for the wheat farmer, all the ones I know anyway," he said, estimating that he could have harvested around 7,500 bushels of wheat, but said he'll be lucky to have 3,500 bushels of wheat to sell for animal feed instead of as more valuable wheat for milling.
"When wheat gets dry, it's ready to be harvested," he said. "If it gets wet again, it swells up, and then dries, it shrinks. Then if it gets wet again, it shrinks again, and so forth and so on, until it weighs nothing."
He said he has concerns about an overabundance of feed wheat, which he said isn't as available as wheat sold for milling, on the market.
He also said he lost his first round of cantaloupes because they rotted in the field, and his berry crop was cut in half. All told, he said estimated a loss of about $12,000 in revenue.
"There aren't going to be any profits … in other words, financially, we won't earn enough to pay off what we put in the ground," he said. "We're working seven days a week, some of this stuff I try not to think about, but I'm hoping something (will) come around," he added.
Ben Bergmann, the owner of Fickle Creek Farm in Orange County that sells produce, eggs and pasture-raised meat in several Triangle farmers' markets, said tomatoes are a big money-maker for his farm, and they lost a whole field of them.
Bergmann also estimated that half of his farm's onions and potatoes rotted in the field. There were quality issues because of the rain and lack of sun, he said. The strawberries and blueberries were watery.
"I don't want to say 'watery tasteless local produce,' but that's just what we have locally here this year," he said.
The farm also produces eggs, pasture-raised pork, chicken, and beef, and the weather had negative impacts on the animals, as well. For example, he said, the lambs weren't eating well.
"They're kind of limping along and not eating well, they can't get around too well," Bergmann said. "It's these kinds of things that take, I would say, a whole season to right the ship again."
He estimated that the farm is missing out on about $1,000 a week in revenues in the last couple of months and "for the foreseeable future."
"We've just had a really hard time here," he said. "I don't know how else to say it so it sounds quaint and energetic and optimistic. No, it's just been hard."
He said that if "things sort of stabilize," maybe the farm's fall crop will be back on track.
"Our tried-and-true customers have been great, but what we really need to do is get across to the larger community – keep supporting your local farmers," he said. "If anything, I think in a hard year it's more important than in an easy year. In an easy year you have tons, everything tastes great, everything looks good, everybody's happy."
For Mickens, she said she thought it was good for her and her husband to experience bad weather early on when their income isn't solely dependent on farming.
They're in their second year farming as part of the PLANT@Breeze Farm Enterprise Incubator, a program that leases small plots of land to new farmers and teaches them farming techniques in a series of workshops.
She said she recently quit her job to farm full time, but her husband, Ross Mickens, also works an engineer.
"I think it was kind of a good year for us to have experienced this weather, it just gives us more insight into how the weather can crazily impact your crops, and then impact your business, and your take-home," she said. "It sucks that it happened, but I'm glad it happened in our first few years."
They're a little behind on fall planting, she said, but plan to start as soon as possible.
"We're just getting ready for fall right now, and hopefully can make up the money with our fall crops," she said.

Reviews for Veggie Soup with Meatballs
Sort By :
"Not only delicious, and simple to make, is so healthy that my body feels better after a bowl."
"This soup was fantastic! I loved all of the vegetables. Next time I would cut the zucchini larger or else add it later in the cooking process to prevent it from becoming soggy. I used turkey meatballs in place of Italian meatballs to save calories (nearly 100 calories per serving saved!) and found the soup to be delicious."
"Loved the fresh vegetables. My kids gobbled up the meatballs especially. They thought that made it extra special."
"Loved this recipe! Even my 6 year-old ate two helpings."
"I made this soup with Homestyle Meatballs, next time I'll try with Italian Meatballs. I think I'll like the extra flavor. I didn't have zucchini, so I added an extra cup of cabbage. I also left out the elbow mac., because I'm trying to limit the carbs. This is my kind of soup - delicous broth, with lots of veggies."

What a great time! It stared with the bartender, who was not only wonderful (made a delicious watermelon and cucumber martini) but we also witnessed his patience with non-English speaking guests who repeatedly ordered a no ice martini but would not answer gin or vodka. We got to the table where my husband was again wow'ed by Todd English's meatball. We enjoyed the table side pulled cheese (with prosciutto and figs), my shrimp pasta will be hard not to order again and my husband didn't leave any of the risotto of the day. The service all night was excellent, the intimate feel and nice decor are nice to find in Fort Lauderdale. We will be back!

went to celebrate my birthday. the mozarella presentation was lame. the mozarella tasted like rubber and deffinitely not worth $16.the scallops were greasy. how can you make scallops greasy? no idea, but these were. the service was very unfriendly. we felt rushed, the waiter was very indifferent and unfriendly. we spent $180 for dinner plus $30 tip. NOT WORTH IT. there are much better italian restaurants for the value.

Food quality and preparation is excellent. All the dishes are good, but don't miss tableside mozzarella cheese with fig balsamic and prosciutto, snapper marsala, any of the pizzas, and anything with pomodoro sauce. Wine list limited, but nice Italian champagne by the glass.

What a noisy place on a Sat night! Well, it's popular alright. We're from New York and usually avoid such noisy places but were staying in the hotel. I think Todd E. should think about a bit more professionalism in his waitresses. Chatty & familiar but not enough serious info about the food. For example, the butternut squash may be delicious for the first 3 minutes but then it's too sweet to eat. Only after did our waitress say "Oh yeah it has crushed amaretto cookies in it". That's something I'd like to know before I order and pay for it. (couldn't eat it all) Also had to reject our table looking into the kitchen but we were seated at a nice table after asking. If you like glitzy, loud and expensive though you'll like the food.
Posted by anonymous on 06/19/2009
The restaurant was very lovely, although small but very cozy and romantic. The food is absolutely terrific and the service is wonderful. Dining and overlooking the intracoastal what more could you ask for. This is one of the top 5 in Florida.

RCBI unveils new 3-D metal printer
HUNTINGTON -- The Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing has added a advanced 3-D metal printer to its Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center at Marshall University's South Charleston campus.
The printer's addition was made possible by a collaborative partnership between RCBI, Marshall University, U.S. Navy and ATK.
Sen. Joe Manchin was in Charleston Friday to announce the $750,000 printer, one of the most advanced in the Mid-Atlantic region, is now available for West Virginia and national business and manufacturers.
"I am very pleased to support this public/private collaboration, which now will provide manufacturers in our state with advanced metal 3-D printing capabilities," Manchin said. "This metal 3-D printer available to our state's businesses is extremely beneficial because few can afford such specialized equipment. By having this advanced technology, we are able to further position our state for economic development and help make our existing manufacturers even more competitive."
As with other RCBI technology, the 3-D metal printer will be available to not only West Virginia small businesses and manufacturers, but to anyone across the country. Mike Friel, RCBI public information officer, said 3-D printers are useful for those looking to print equipment parts, as well as prototypes for new inventions.
"We have people come to us with inventions or designs, but they need a prototype to see if it works -- this printer, and our other non-metal printers, provide them the ability to print one more cheaply than the traditional manufacturing process," Friel said. "They come in, we teach them to use the equipment and they can manufacture the parts themselves."
Larger entities also are interested in a 3-D metal printer being in their backyard. Charlotte Weber, RCBI director and CEO, said during the announcement event that several industries; including aviation, automotive, oil and natural gas and aerospace are looking for manufacturers who use emerging 3-D technologies.
The metal printer joins the existing thermoplastic and polymer systems already available at RCBI. Friel cites the printer's fully automated operation, lack of tooling needed and reduced material wastes to be key advantages of 3-D technology.

This is a group of mainly small butterflies. There are more than 5,000 described species, with many new species still awaiting discovery.
Lycaenidae have various common names including:
Some of the smallest butterflies in the world are lycaenids, with wingspans of as little as 12mm.
They are also good environmental indicators as many species of Lycaenidae have very fine environmental niches and a relationship with both specific plants and ants.

Immortal Bird: A Reading
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; READING 12:00 p.m.
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; READING 12:00 p.m.
Immortal Bird: A Family Memoir (2013), Doron Webers widely acclaimed family memoir, is the story of Damon Webers remarkable life. It is also the story of his fathers heroic struggle with the health care system that ultimately failed his son. At once a triumphant coming-of-age tale, a moving portrait of friendship between father and son, and a searing account of the perils of modern medicine, Immortal Bird has started a national conversation about the proper treatment of patients and the importance of improving communication between doctors and those they treat.
Born on an Israeli kibbutz, Weber studied literature at Brown University, the Sorbonne, and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Currently he runs the program for the Public Understanding of Science and Technology at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Weber creates seminal programs to promote the sciences and the arts, including the Foundation's effort to achieve universal access to knowledge through digital Information.
Doron Webers presentation is part of the Athenaeums semester long series on bioethics, as it applies to research, medical practice, and the health care system.

Latest News
Distinguished Musician Award for Julian Lloyd Webber
24 April 2014
This year's prestigious Distinguished Musician Award was presented last week to British cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, in recognition of his great dedication to the world of music education.
The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) presented the award in partnership with Classic FM. Both partners were impressed by Julian Lloyd Webber's passion for bringing music to young people from all backgrounds, as well his successful campaigning to promote music as a respected area of study. As chairman of Sistema England, Julian has helped to inspire thousands of primary schoolchildren across the country, and his work as a key supporter of the ISM 'Bacc for the Future' campaign played an important role in affecting a change in government policy over the place of music in the English Baccalaureate proposals.
The Distinguished Musician Award has been recognising outstanding contributions to musical life in the UK since 1976. However, this is only the third time that the award has highlighted achievements in the field of music education.
Chief executive of the ISM Deborah Annetts commented: 'I'm delighted that Julian's work in music education is recognised through this award. He is passionate in his belief that every child, regardless of background, deserves the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and tirelessly devotes himself to campaigning issues alongside his busy performing and recording career.'
Guildhall to award its own degrees
23 April 2014
The Privy Council of the United Kingdom has granted Taught Degree-Awarding Powers to The Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
The Guildhall School's bachelors and master's degrees were initially validated by Kent University, with City University London becoming sole validator in 2002. In addition to granting Guildhall the right to award its own degrees, the Privy Council's decision means that the School is now also free to launch a new range of academic programmes, which is one of the aims for the School's new state of the art facilities at Milton Court.
Professor Barry Ife, principal of the Guildhall School, said: 'There is an increasing expectation among students, stakeholders, peer institutions and other agencies in this country and abroad that highly-respected institutions should have gained academic autonomy. I am absolutely delighted that after several years of hard work on quality assurance, the School has been officially recognised by the Privy Council in this way.'
It is expected that the School will award its first degrees at its graduation ceremony in the autumn of 2015.
Key Data on Hubs Published
22 April 2014
The results are in from the major survey of music education hubs initiated last October. It was undertaken by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), at the request of Arts Council England (ACE).
The report focuses on the six 'Key Performance Indicators' agreed between ACE and the DfE in January this year. Here are some of the highlights:
- '14,368 state-funded primary schools engaged with their music hub on one or more core roles. This equated to 83.2 per cent of primary schools reported by hubs (17,289).'
- 'A total of 3,073 state-funded secondary schools engaged with their music hub on one or more roles. This equated to 76 per cent of secondary schools reported by hubs (4,048).'
- 'The proportion of pupils nationally receiving 'Whole Class Ensemble Tuition' (WCET) for the first time represents approximately 8.6 per cent of the national cohort of pupils in Years 1 to 9.'
- 'A total of 175,374 pupils (35.6 per cent of those receiving free first access/WCET in the previous year) were reported to have continued to learn to play a musical instrument in 2012/13.'
- 'A total of 618,952 pupils regularly attended at least one school- or hub-led instrumental ensemble or choir. This represents approximately 7.6 per cent of the 8.2 million pupils attending state funded schools nationally in January 2013.'
- 'Overall, hubs had supported 9,014 (62.4 per cent) of the primary schools and 1,576 (51.0 per cent) of the secondary schools they engaged with to develop singing strategies.'
NFER added: 'It is not possible to provide a breakdown of the number of pupils continuing their musical education beyond WCET by school phase (primary or secondary) or pupils' characteristics. We suggest that Arts Council England may wish to consider amending the questionnaire to enable this data to be collected in future.'
MT will report more fully on the data in our June issue. The report can be downloaded from ACE's 'Music Education Hubs' webpage (PDF link here).
Milton Keynes Music Teachers Bounce Back from Redundancy
21 April 2014
The Musicians' Union (MU) is supporting its members who have set up Milton Keynes Music Co-operative, which launched this week. Following the redundancy of nearly 100 instrumental teachers, the MU has provided practical support and advice to a core group of dedicated teachers who rallied their colleagues to set up the Milton Keynes Music Co-operative. With a membership of 60 self-employed teachers the cooperative will work alongside the skeleton Milton Keynes Music Service as part of the local Music Hub, to ensure delivery to children in the area of instrumental lessons.
MU Organiser for Education & Training Diane Widdison said: 'Their commitment to being part of a collaborative body, sharing resources, developing good practice, and offering consistency to schools, parents and children, is typical of the vocational drive we find among music teachers. We applaud these teachers who, whilst facing redundancy and all the stress this entails, devoted huge energy and time to finding a way for teachers to stay together and not be cast out into a competitive landscape where increased competition tends so often to lead to under cutting and a gradual erosion of teaching standards.'
The formation of the Milton Keynes Music Co-operative has been supported by the Musicians' Union, Swindon Music Co-operative, David Barnard (Managing Director of Sound Futures Ltd and was founder of the Swindon Music Co-operative) and the Co-op Enterprise Hub.
New Music Scholarship at Christ's Hospital
21 April 2014
Christ's Hospital School has announced a new music scholarship in memory of Sir Colin Davis, who was a pupil at the school from 1939 to 1945.
Andrew Cleary, Director of Music at Christ's Hospital said: 'Sir Colin Davis was a much respected and world-class musician. We are immensely proud that somebody who gave so much to music was a pupil here at Christ's Hospital. Like so many Old Blues who have experienced a life-changing opportunity at the School, Colin Davis went on to inspire so many. We are honoured to be able to offer such a prestigious scholarship to inspire a young musician at the School and keep Sir Colin's association with our School alive amongst our pupils.'
Christ's Hospital's scholarship programme recognises high achieving and outstanding individuals who excel in specific fields and who would benefit from financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded to pupils who are entering the School at Years 7, 9 and Sixth Form.

So I just popped to the local shops for something to eat and I saw a load of kids shoplifting
I decided to tell the owner what was going on and the amount of grief I got for doing so. Not from the kids but the other adults in the shop. Apparently I'm out of order for 'grassing up kids' and 'we've all done it'.
Fair enough kids will always try and steal shit but fuck.

High-scoring Bisons contribute to win over Tennessee Tech...
Four Lipscomb Bisons scored in double digits in a 87-79 victory against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Allen Arena on Thursday night.
Martin Smith, J.C. Hampton, Josh Williams and Malcolm Smith all broke the double-digit barrier.
Junior forward Martin Smith led all scorers, putting up 24 points and going 12 for 14 from the free throw line.
"I got to the free throw line, got my rhythm going and kept it going from there," Martin Smith said.
He credited his teammates on the evening's accomplishments.
J.C. Hampton had 19 points and was four for five from behind the arc. The redshirt freshman point guard said that that team wants to keep an up-tempo pace.
"We want to play fast the whole game," Hampton said. "We want to get out as quick as possible and get quick baskets. We practice hard to play fast."
Freshman guard Josh Williams had 20 points, a career-high for the new Bison.
Malcolm Smith knocked down 11 points against the Golden Eagles and went four for five from the field.
The win moved the Bisons to 4-4, while Tennessee Tech fell to 5-5. The game started out with a couple of fouls on each team, but the pace quickened, and with the fast pace, Lipscomb turned the ball over seven times in the first half, while Tennessee Tech had 11 turnovers.
The turnovers lessened as the game went on, but Hampton says that team needs to be a little more careful with the ball.
"[We need to] just slow it down a little bit, not being so passive and control the ball a little bit better, but it's going to be better," Hampton said.
The game was close throughout until the Bisons began to pull away. However, with five minutes in the game, the Golden Eagles soared back on an eight-point run that lasted over two minutes.
With the help of the run, Tennessee Tech gave Lipscomb a run for their money until a number of free throws and key baskets near the end of the game sealed the victory for the Bisons.
The Bisons begin a five-game stretch of road games, starting against Murray State on Saturday, Dec. 7.
Game notes: Golden Eagles' junior forward Dwan Caldwell had 13 rebounds for the night. Tennessee Tech's bench scored 38 points; Lipscomb's scored 21. Lipscomb scored 10 second-chance points, while Tennessee Tech scored 17 second-chance points.

Finkbeiner reflects on his tenure as Toledo's mayorWritten by Mark Hensch | | email@example.com
Carty Finkbeiner has served in various Toledo public offices for 22 years. A native of the city, Finkbeiner grew up in the city's Westmoreland historic district before entering city politics as a City Councilman for eight years, vice mayor for two years and mayor for 12 years.
During his political career Finkbeiner served as a Republican, a Democrat and an Independent. His mayoral administration, meanwhile, has earned even measures of celebration and scorn in the wake of successes and scandals. Fresh off his July 13 letter declaring he will not seek a fourth term as Toledo's mayor, Finkbeiner spoke with Toledo Free Press via phone about his time in office.
Toledo Free Press: What legacy will you have in the city of Toledo?
Carty Finkbeiner: That will be up to others to determine. I think the building accomplishments my administration has made will hopefully speak for themselves. I am also very proud we have a very safe city and that crime has been reduced over the last three and a quarter years by 18 percent.
TFP: Do you have any unfinished business?
CF: I would love to be able to complete the Marina District but that will take somewhere between six and 10 years. I would like to see the Intermodal we are working on in the present time get constructed. We are tearing down the Southwick Mall and I would like to see new buildings go up there. Those are three specific things I would like to cut the ribbons off and put the finishing touches on.
TFP: Given your Democratic affiliation, will you endorse Democratic mayoral candidates Keith Wilkowski or Ben Konop?
CF: I do not plan on endorsing anyone between now and the September primary. There are some good men and one good woman attempting to get their message out there and I will not impede that process.
TFP: What has inspired your loyalty to the city of Toledo?
CF: I like the down-to-Earth honesty and genuineness of the people of Toledo. I don't think even my critics believe I am an insincere or phony person. I like people that are straightforward and down-to-Earth and tell you they like you if they like you and tell you they don't like you if they don't like you. Those are people I respect and those I have the greatest fondness for in the city of Toledo.
My folks blessed me by raising me in Westmoreland which remains a great neighborhood today. From the very beginning being born and raised in Westmoreland, through my education and vocational experiences, I really have had a chance to be a part of every neighborhood in the city of Toledo. I feel extremely comfortable and at-home in any neighborhood in Toledo.
I like the fact Toledo is central to so many wonderful Midwestern communities and the water of the Great Lakes too.
I am a great believer in Toledo, the region and the Midwest in general.

Verizon's data plans
Recently Verizon has come out of the wood work with a bit of information about their data plans. Information on Verizon is stating that they will be putting "caps" on their unlimited data plans and at the same time set forth some restriction within their new tiered plans.
Generally speaking the four majors usually follow each other's moves pretty closely. At&t just before the release of the iPhone 4 announced tiered data plans and essentially the removal of 'unlimited' access. If you are a Verizon customer you should know information is circulating that Verizon is planning on implanting the same structure into their plans. It is unknown at this point what Verizon's pricing structure will look like, however if it looks like At&t's, well some users may be unhappy. At&t's tiered data plans removed the word 'unlimited' from the picture and essentially let you get your 200 MB of data for 15 bucks a month, and the higher end providing you with 2GB of data for 20 bucks a month. Information floating around the interwebs is claiming that Verizons new data plans will go into effect sometime around July 29th. The prices are not confirmed and or plan information not even seemingly leaked, but most are under the assumption that Verizon's prices will be within an earshot of what At&t has already established.
The improvements to Verizon's smartphone line up is most likely the match to this fire as At&t announced their plans assuming mass overload to their network with the release of the iPhone 4. With the release of devices like the HTC Incredible and the new monster phone the Droid X it looks like Verizon is hunkering down for the storm of flying bits, and bytes.
So keep in mind, the more data your phone can consume, simply means the more leverage for the carriers to revamp their data plans and essentially up the fees. Makes sense, and I cannot blame them.VerizonWireless, data plan, tiered, AT&T, Verizon


text: BioShock Infinite gets Mac release date Gaming 02 August 13 by Philippa Warr BioShock Infinite The Mac release of BioShock Infinite has been announced for 29 August. The port is being handled by Aspyr, which also took care of Borderlands 2 for Mac.The title will be made available via Steam and the Mac App platforms and is expected to retail at the same price as the PC version. The recently announced DLC, Clash in the Clouds, will be available at or just after launch.To run BioShock Infinite on Mac you will need to be running a minimum of OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, 30GB of hard drive space at at least either an ATI Radeon HD 3870 or Nvidia GeForce 640M.It's good news for Mac owners who have been previously unable to play the game. Although, if we were being picky, it would have been even better to have it launch at the same time as the PC version and not -- just to pluck an example out of thin air, you understand -- lead one to run Windows via Boot Camp on a Macbook Pro in the hopes of playing, only to then remember the version of Windows you have installed is XP and can't support the game anyway. Just for example. Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

New Faces Emerge for LDP In Wake of Resounding Loss
TOKYO -- The Liberal Democratic Party, shoved out of office after 54 years of nearly uninterrupted rule, will now seek new faces as it looks to repair its image and replace defeated leaders.
Voters overwhelmingly rejected Prime Minister Taro Aso's party Sunday, sweeping the Democratic Party of Japan into power with a landslide victory. Mr. Aso resigned Sunday as LDP chief.
Disillusioned by the party's blunders and inability to pull Japan out of a deep economic slump, even traditional supporters -- the elderly, rural voters and the construction industry -- declined to back LDP politicians. Many LDP heavyweights, including a handful of prominent former cabinet members, lost their seats to untested, often younger, DPJ candidates.
The punishment even extended to some politicians seen as promising future LDP leaders. Yuriko Koike, the first woman to serve as Japan's defense minister, lost her local race. Another prominent LDP woman, Seiko Noda, lost to her DPJ opponent in her district in Gifu prefecture in central Japan.
The losses have resulted in a power vacuum at the top of the party. The new leaders that emerge will need to sharpen the party's image, which has become muddled after years in power.
"I don't feel like the party has had a real discussion about what it represents now," said Takahiro Suzuki, secretary-general at Think Tank 2005 Japan, a policy institute affiliated with the LDP. "Until we figure out what are our core political values, we aren't doing any good to anyone."
Political analysts expect the LDP to position itself as a conservative alternative to the more-liberal DPJ, reminding voters that the new ruling party will expand social programs despite Japan's ballooning debt. Also, the LDP is likely to espouse a more muscular foreign policy in a nod to the right wing of its party. Analysts say such a move could be a healthy step toward the give-and-take of a true two-party system, something Japan has lacked.
Observers said Yoichi Masuzoe, Japan's minister of health, labor and welfare, is one potential LDP leader. Prior to his political career, Mr. Masuzoe, 60 years old, was an academic specializing in international politics. He parlayed that into a career as a popular television commentator. Mr. Masuzoe also has written a series of books about caring for his mother, who suffered from dementia.
His track record as health minister has been mixed. He acted swiftly to prepare Japan for the H1N1 influenza, but he has stumbled in trying to reform a national pension system burdened by fraud and mismanagement. Mr. Masuzoe didn't run in Sunday's election because he has a seat in the upper house of parliament.
"Mr. Masuzoe is being talked about, but a lot depends on his ability to unify the party at this moment," said Mr. Suzuki.
Two other LDP politicians seen as possible candidates to succeed Mr. Aso won their respective races Sunday: Nobuteru Ishihara, a former reporter who is the son of nationalist Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara, and current agriculture minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Minoru Morita, a Tokyo-based political analyst, said the LDP's line of failed prime ministers is the result of the party's whatever-it-takes approach to maintaining power. Instead of seeking out new leaders, the party stuck to loyalists who waited their turn.
"They've continually failed by putting out leaders not supported by the people," said Mr. Morita. "There still isn't awareness within the party to thrust a young leader to the front. It's still a party dictated by age and experience."
Mr. Morita sees Yoshimasa Hayashi, Japan's 47-year-old economics and fiscal-policy minister, as a future leader of the party. He serves in the upper house of parliament.
Mr. Hayashi, who speaks fluent English, has a law degree from Tokyo University and a graduate degree from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. He is considered well-versed in financial policy and served briefly as defense minister.

very nice plush carpet
We ordered 2 runners, 1 entryway rug and one to go under the dining room table. These really brighten up the area, and the hallway. I put just a regular pad under all of them and it really makes them super soft to walk on. Have not had any problems with shedding. Very easy to vacuum and not alot of residue pulled up in the sweeper. If you are looking at this rug, buy it- you won't be disappointed in it. Shipping was extremely fast.Read More
Soft and plush. Good rug for the price.
I ordered this rug because I wanted a soft, plush neutral tone for my guest bath. I am pleased with my purchase. The cream color shag height is 3/4", not 1 inch as in description. It is soft, cozy and warms the tile on the floor. Exactly what I wanted to accomplish. It has a sculpted effect with the darker beige swirls being shorter than the cream shag threads. The rug cream color pictured is accurate, however the swirls are a darker beige than pictured adding a beautiful, classy contrast. Nice neutral colors should blend well with any neutral / warm decor. You won't be disappointed. Actual rug size is not as stated. It is 5 ft (not 5' 3") x 3ft 3 in. Not much, but needs to be noted. NO chemical odor at all. No shedding. Nice thing about the neutral colors is that I can move this rug to just about any room. Rug description states that it is, "The most plush feel available in a rug". Although soft & plush, not the, "most". Rug was shipped same day I ordered and arrived quickly in 4 days. HAPPY!Read More
Beautiful/plush rug
I bought 2 of these rugs for each side of my bed to warm the hardwood floors we just installed. They are a wonderful treat to step on to on a cold winter morning. They look lovely! The only "con" would be that you cannot vacuum with a rotating brush and my vacuum doesn't have the option to turn the brush off, so I must use the attachment to clean.Read More
Great rug, great price!
We are very happy with this purchase! The rug is good quality for a good price! We are using it as a step out rug in our bedroom and the creme color is perfect. The color is slightly darker than the picture- I would call it a dark creme. Definitely not a white rug! The rug is not very thick, but feels soft and plush. We would definitely recommend this rug to others!Read More

Sheen, Gibson, Mayer Among 'Toxic Men' Archetypes, Says Author
Communications expert, professor and author Dr. Lillian Glass reports she's simply staggered to find the archetypes in her new "Toxic Men" book making news these days all over the celebrity sphere. And once she starts naming names, she makes a very good case for just that.
"It's been amazing, what is happening in the headlines. For instance, Charlie Sheen — a celebrity face and name — is absolutely a toxic type. He's in the category of the gloom and doom self-destructive victim. He's had it all, had everything handed to him over and over, yet he has these self-destructive issues including being with the women he should not be with again and again, and being very hostile with them," says Glass, who'll be seen with Joy Behar and Dr. Phil this week tubthumping on behalf of the tome.
Next, there's "Mel Gibson, the control freak type, the ultimate bully, so full of rage and hate, and even a little bit of the sadist, we see going on…"
And, "John Mayer, the emotional refrigerator. We see him go through these major relationships and, as a body language expert, I see that his body language is the same over and over again. Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson — he walks ahead of these women. You see no affection."
Glass, whose book not only includes clues to look for in order to avoid toxic types (women too), but guidelines for dealing with them when one must, on the job or socially, points to Jesse James as another archtype. "The silent but deadly erupting volcano. He's so quiet and sweet,
but then there's all this cheating with several women, and the photo with him wearing a Nazi hat — this obnoxious passive-aggressive attitude about his alleged racism."
She views Michael Lohan as the toxic type she deems "the sneaky two-faced meddling backstabber" and who could disagree?
John Edwards she titles The Wishy Washy Spineless Wimp. We get that.
Kanye West, meanwhile, is "a narcissist. It's all about him. For anybody to go onstage and take an award out of another person's hands saying they don't deserve it — that's the ultimate act of narcissism. He's the Me Myself and I type of toxic man."
The Jealous Competitor type is represented by Chris Brown, in her view. "When a man hits a woman, it's about envy and jealousy — competitiveness. This is where you find cases of abuse — this type and the controllers."
At the very worst end of the scale are emotionless psycho sociopaths capable of acting very charming. "They're blamers, nothing is their fault. And they're liars." She places fraud perpetrator Bernie Madoff and murder suspect Joran Van Der Sloot in that category.
Last but not least, there's the "manipulative cheating liar, which is Tiger Woods," says Glass. "We saw him. He gave that mea culpa speech, but it was all for his golf game."
Glass's book, of course, has much more information and nuance. "Of the 15 books I've written, this is the one I'm most excited about," she says, "the one I believe can most positively change lives," Or at least, be entertaining as all get-out.

The Perfect Wedding Band
I love this ring! It's just ornate enough to shimmer and shine and look fabulous but it's not so busy that it appears gaudy at all. When my pawn shop wedding band lost a few stones the first day I wore it, I went to Overstock.com looking for something more solid that I can wear everyday that would hold up. I ordered a 6.5 and it fits pretty much like a 6.5- if anything it feels like it's almost 6.75. I have another 6.5 ring that fits slightly tighter on the same finger. I wear size 7 on my ring finger if it's a casual silver type ring but wedding bands and anything that comes in half sizes fit better if it's 6.5. I hope that helps a little bit. So pretty right on when it comes to size. It's just plain gorgeous and I'm glad I bought it.Read More
picture looks great, in real not so....

Present from me to me
I really like this ring, it has just the right amount of shine. Dainty and feminine without feeling flimsy.It is great with other rings as an enhancement, or on it's own. The diamonds are very tiny and are just for enhancement and hopefully the ring will have lasting quality. So far so good.Read More

Made free throws equal wins for N.C. State
N.C. State's best days at the free throw line have come in wins over North Carolina and Duke with State shooting 20-of-23 in both games.
The Wolfpack coaches and players didn't spend much time talking about the performance at the line after Saturday's victory over UNC, but shooting well from the charity stripe and winning is no coincidence for State.
The Wolfpack has shot less than 60 percent at the line in three of its four losses. At Michigan, N.C. State had only nine attempts, shooting 66.7 percent.
State attempted more than 12 free throws in only the Wake Forest loss. And in that game, the Wolfpack shot 56 percent.
It's also no coincidence that all four losses have come away from the friendly backdrops at PNC Arena.
State has one road test this week, Tuesday at Virginia, before hosting Miami Saturday.
