Students who wish to major in music should contact the Music Department at (940) 397-4267, by email at Music Department or by filling out our brief Music Interest Survey and one of our faculty members will contact you regarding your area of study and interest in music at Midwestern State.
Entering music majors should make an appointment to visit with a music faculty member prior to enrolling for classes. All students at MSU are assigned a faculty advisor to help with the selection of courses and the completion of degree plans. Transfer students should bring with them an unofficial transcript of all course work previously completed.
Entering students may be required to take music placement tests in theory or instrumental or vocal auditions. It is recommended that entering students in music have prior experience in high school band or choir or several years of piano or guitar lessons. Advanced standing of transfer students will be determined by placement tests and evaluation of scholastic standing.
Music majors, with the exception of keyboard performance majors, are required to maintain continuous enrollment in piano class or applied piano (with approval from the chair of keyboard studies) until the keyboard proficiency is passed.
Music majors must participate in at least one major ensemble for credit each semester of enrollment except during the semester of student teaching.
Music majors are required to maintain continuous enrollment in their primary performance area until successfully completing the senior recital.
We are excited that you are interested in Midwestern State University and in the Department of Music. Being a musician is a very rewarding career, whether you are choosing a performance or teacher certification concentration, and we will do our best to help you prepare for the career path you choose.
Music, performance or teacher certification in music is not a career to choose lightly. Some people choose to major in music because it's what they liked to do in high school, or because it's what their friends choose, or because band or choir was an easy subject they didn't have to work hard to pass. These are not reasons to major in music. They are exactly the reasons NOT to major in music. If you have spent time in your high school band or choir and want to keep playing your instrument or singing, please do so. There are many community bands and choirs to satisfy your interest. If you are choosing to major in music it should be because you have a deep love for the art and an inexpressible passion for performing and teaching music. Most musicians would agree that it's among the hardest and most demanding majors in college. People who choose music only because they liked band or choir in high school frequently wind up spending a semester in music and changing to something else. Careers in music are vastly more complicated than just band and choir.
If you have chosen to pursue a degree in music you have probably already spent a number of years in your junior high and high school band or choir, or you have taken six to eight years of piano lessons, or four or more years of guitar lessons. It goes without saying that you will need to have a previous background in music to be successful in a music career. While this is true about most college majors, it is rare, almost unheard of, for someone without several years of ensemble or private lesson experience or someone who doesn't already read music fluently to be successful as a college music major.
All entering musicians should be able to read one clef (either treble or bass) fluently, and be able to read the other clef fairly well. You should also be able to read rhythms in 4/4, 2/4, 3/4, 12/8, 6/8 and 9/8 and be able to sight read in all keys. An incoming music major should take the time to contact the applied instructor (private teacher) for that instrument or voice and find out what is expected for an audition.
If you are a woodwind or brass player, you should be able to play the major, minor and chromatic scales for your instrument. Woodwind and brass players should own their own "major" instrument, i.e. flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, horn, trumpet, trombone, etc. This is the instrument you will "major" on, even if you were primarily a piccolo, bass clarinet or baritone saxophone player in high school. The university will provide the large specialty, or "doubling" instruments. Instrumentalists are expected to provide their own reeds, neck straps, mouthpieces, instrument lubricants, mutes, etc., and you are expected to maintain your instrument in good repair.
Percussionists should have experience with snare drum, marimba, vibraphone or other percussion keyboard instrument, have some experience on drum kit, and some experience on timpani. Percussionists are responsible for their own sticks and mallets, and should be able to read both treble and bass clefs.
Pianists should be able to play all scales, major and minor, and all arpeggios two octaves. Guitarists should be able to read both standard notation and tablature, and have a working knowledge of chords and scales in all keys, and have both nylon string "classical" and electric or acoustic electric guitars. Guitarists are responsible for their own strings.
If you have never had classes in music theory, you will want to prepare yourself by looking at any of a number of music theory websites. The things you will want to review are chord spellings for major and minor triads and seventh chords in all keys and major and minor scale structure. You will also need to be able to "match pitch" in singing, even if you are an instrumentalist. "Match pitch" means to be able to sing with your voice any pitch played on piano in your vocal range. Even instrumentalists will have to learn to sing to some extent.
All music majors, in performance and teacher certification have to pass a piano proficiency exam. You won't have to be a concert pianist, but all music degrees include this requirement, which is basically being able to play major and minor scales, sight read and play simple piano pieces and accompaniments. Piano classes are part of the music curriculum, but you should spend time becoming familiar with the piano keyboard before you arrive at college. It should be said now that piano proficiency and music theory are the two reasons students don't continue in the music curriculum. Be prepared to spend time on those two subjects.
What else should you have? The basic items for the well prepared music major include a metronome, a tuner if you are an instrumentalist, and a folding music stand. Eventually you will need performance attire, which for men will be a tuxedo, with a white shirt, black bow tie, black leather dress shoes and black calf length socks. For women, a black dress is required. You will want to check with your ensemble director or private teacher about lengths. You will also need black shoes comfortable enough to stand in for at least an hour. Like students in all majors you will have to purchase supplies for college, including books for classes. There are books for music classes, of course, just like for math, history and every other subject. You will also be expected to purchase print music for some of your courses. Although you may have practiced or performed from "copies" before, using photocopied music is illegal and you should avoid it if possible.
All music majors will be assigned to an applied instructor who will also probably be your academic advisor. Although you will have teachers for many subjects, your applied instructor will be your primary teacher for instrumental or vocal lessons and will know your program requirements better than anyone else. You should make it a point to get to know your applied teacher very well. Throughout your college career your applied teacher will be your best friend.
All music majors in all colleges have to take a class called "recital" every semester. In this class you will perform and listen to others perform. If you have never performed in public as a soloist, you should get ready to do this. Your applied instructor will help you prepare. Juries are performance examinations given at the end of each semester. It's like a performance "final exam." The faculty from your area will listen to you play and assign a grade. All music majors in all colleges have to play juries.
An audition is usually required to get admitted as a music major. All instrumentalists and vocalists should have some solo repertoire that they can sing or play to performance level. Contact the applied instructor for your area to find out about auditions. More than likely, the audition will be used for scholarship consideration as well. Prepare and perform the best you can. Your first impression will be important and might win you some financial reward. Arrange your initial audition with your area applied instructor.
Expect to practice your instrument or voice up to fourteen hours a week or more, probably more. The entire reason for majoring in music is to become the best performer you can be, whether your concentration is performance or teacher certification. That's just expected. Not expecting to practice and perform would be like studying to become an engineer without becoming proficient in mathematics, or studying medicine without knowing anatomy. If you don't want to spend a significant time practicing, it would be safer to select another career field. Performances and rehearsals are a requirement as well. Don't expect to miss lessons, performances or rehearsals just because you don't feel like going that day. Often, your scholarship amount will be related to your performance responsibilities.
This is a short summary of what being a music major requires. As stated earlier, music is not just band or choir, it's a complete academic discipline unto itself, with many facets you will come to know and many avenues to explore. Every college major requires personal initiative and responsibility, out of class study, practice, professionalism, and good time management skills. The only college major in which you have to stand in front of others and exhibit your art (with the possible exception of drama), or in which you must contribute to a living presentation of art, is music. If you have chosen music as your career, then work at it with all your energy and with all your heart. The music faculty is ready and anxious to help you succeed.
Good luck and welcome to the Midwestern State University Department of Music.

Abu Bakr ash-Shibli
Abu Sahl as-Sa'luki said, "I listened to ash-Shibli say, 'Creation loves You for Your blessings, and I love You for Your trial'"
Ash-Shibli said, "I never say 'Allah', but that I ask forgiveness of Allah for my word 'Allah'."
He used to use salt as kohl so that he would not go to sleep.
Abu 'Imran al-Ashyab had a circle and ash-Shibli went to it . When Abu 'Imran saw him, he rose for him and sat him at his side. One of the companions of Abu 'Imran wanted to show people that ash-Shibli was ignorant. He askedhim, "Abu Bakr, when a woman's menstrual blood resembles the blood of false menstruation, what does she do?" He gave him eighteen answers. Abu 'Imran went to him and kissed his hand. He said, "Abu Bakr, I know twelve, and six I have never heard before!"
Ash-Shibli stood one day at the Bab at-Taq with Abu't-Tayyib al-Jalla. He was one of the people of knowledge. He spoke a long time with him. The people gathered to Abu'-t-Tayyib to ask him to ask ash-Shibli to make supplication for them and to show them a sign. Abu't-Tayyib pressed him in that. He raised his hands and made a supplication which was not understood. Then he gazed at the sky and did not cover his eyes from mid-morning until noon. People said, "Allah is greater," made supplication, and there was tumult.
When he was at Jalawi with a sauce-pan boiling in front of him, he bought some of it for a friend of his. He scooped up a handful from the pan while it was boiling and put it in a flat loaf of bread and took it to Ibn Mujahid. He got up for him. His companions said, "You rise for ash-Shibli and you do not rise for Ibn 'Isa, the wazir?" He said, "Shall I not rise for the one the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, respects? I saw the Messenger of Allah in a dream and he said to me, 'Abu Bakr, tomorrow a man of the people of the Garden will come to you, so honour him.'" He said, "Two nights after this, Ibn Mujahid dreamt of the Prophet who told him, "Abu Bakr, Allah has honoured you for honouring a man of the people of the Garden." "He said, 'I asked, "Messenger of Allah, by what did he merit this from you?' He replied, "Every Thursday he prayed five prayers in which he remembered me after every prayer and recited, "A Messenger has come to you from among yourselves. Grievous to you is what you suffer." (9:128)'"
Ahmad ibn 'Ata' said, "I heard ash-Shibli say, 'I wrote hadith for twenty years and I sat with the fuqaha' for twenty years." He used to learn fiqh according to Malik."
Another said, "I heard ash-Shibli say, 'I know the one who did not enter into this business until he had spent all of what he owned and had sunk in the Tigris 70 sachels of books in his handwriting, and memorised the Muwatta' and recited such-and-such a recitation,' i.e. himself."
He said, "My father left 60,000 dinars, not to mention the estates and real estate, and I spent all of it. Then I sat with the poor and I did not go back to a refuge nor appeal for help from anyone."
One of them said, "I came to ash-Shibli and he exclaimed, 'Ahmad, we are lost!' 'How?' I asked. He replied, 'It came to mind that I was a miser. I said when I had raised my head, "By Your might, I am not a miser!" My thought answered me that I was a miser. I said, "By Allah's might, nothing of this world will be given to me today but that I will give it to the first one I meet!" When I finished the agreement, the chamberlain of Mu'nas al-Khadim brought me fifty dinars. He said, "Spend it on your needs." I left the room. There was a pauper in front of a barber. When he finished shaving his head, I gave him the bag. He said, "Give it to the barber. He shaved my head. 'I said, "It is dinars!" He said, "Didn't we say that you are a miser?" 'I gave it to the barber. He said, "We decided that when the poor man sat in front of us, we would not take anything from him." So I threw it into the Tigris.'"
It is related that he said, "Once I decided that I would only eat from the lawful. I used to go around in the deserts. I saw two trees. I stretched my hand to them to eat. One of them called out, 'Guard your agreement! Do not eat from me! I am an unbeliver!'"

Our contest to determine Elena Kagan's celebrity doppelgänger has upset a few of our readers (and maybe one of our colleagues here at Breaking Media). One ATL commenter said:
Christ, this is the most insane post, and the fact that a woman posted this is most disturbing. How could you? She's not sexy Sarah, we get it. I don't recall a post on Alito's looks? Perhaps because they're irrelevant! I thank God everyday that I'm attractive since law school and being a lawyer only taught me something pretty sad – you are judged and treated by how you look.
Congratulations on being attractive!
The simple answer to your question: Alito was nominated in November 2005 and confirmed in January 2006, and Above the Law launched in August 2006. Plus, Samuel Alito is, honestly, not as interesting to look at as Elena Kagan. He maybe, kind of looks like Victor Garber. Boring!
(If we were going to talk about a sitting Justice's looks, we would start with the hottie chief justice: looks like Rob Lowe, Joshua Jackson, pre-surgery Ashlee Simpson, or Sponge Bob Squarepants? You decide.)
Obviously, we here at ATL spend quite a lot of time thinking about the Nine (and often about how they look). But why does the rest of the country care? After the confirmation hearings, most of them will never see Kagan again, thanks to the High Court's position on cameras in the courtroom. Lauren Sherman at our sister blog Fashionista explores and explains.

Tears of joy for Southampton's Luke Shaw over England call-up
LUKE SHAW became a bawl boy yesterday after learning of his England call-up.
The Southampton ace, who cried as he rang his mum to tell her the news, said: "I got a call from the FA and I spoke to Roy. I was shocked and didn't know what to say.
"I massively think about the people who have helped me. The coaches on the pitch especially but the main reason is my family.
"My mum and dad spent a lot of years travelling down to Southampton and pushing me. It was hard for them. I am so excited and I can't wait to get going."

An estimated four U.S. families each week bury a loved one—often a child—who was backed over by a vehicle and killed.
Safety advocates say such tragedies can largely be prevented by imposing new car safety rules that were expected to be implemented this week, but postponed. Those rules would have mandated that every new car and truck under 10,000 pounds built after September 2014 include a rear-view camera system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates those changes would save 95 to 112 lives every year and prevent more than 7,000 injuries.
But the agency, when faced with a Feb. 29 deadline to come up with new rules, deferred.

Genius has been on the market for a long time and mainly they have introduced external control units and speakers that range from low end, to midrange and even high end. We have introduced some of them on the reviews, but we haven't introduced a wireless speaker like this one.
This Genius model has the ability to connect wirelessly to any phone via a Bluetooth 3.0 connection and stream audio. As an addition it can work as a loudspeaker, so that you hear the other person on it and communicate, via the built in microphone. It has only 2W of power, but you will be amazed from its power. It has a slick retro design with a front grill that is covered by cloth.
In a park, on a bike, you can play several hours of music via your phone. The Bluetooth connection has a range of about 10m. Genius claims that the speaker can last up to 10 hours on its own power, but in reality the speaker works for max 4 to 5 hours before it goes into an energy saving mode, thus lowering the maximum output power by half, so that it will preserve power and last for that long.
It can be charged by a USB dongle using the computer and it needs about three hours.
The speaker can connect to the phone using a standard 3.5 mm cable, thus increasing its work time, because in this case the Bluetooth receiver is off.
Genius SP-900BT is a great solution, when the speaker strength of your phones' speaker is not enough. The wireless connection of this speaker/ microphone combo is a great solution, but it increases its price greatly. Thus it achieved a price of $40 that makes it a Ferrari when compared to the other "howlers".

Pregnant Kim Kardashian Wears Super See-Through Dress on New Year's Eve (PHOTO)
Pregnancy or not, Kim Kardashian loves the see-through look!
The soon-to-be mother rocked a super sheer dress on New Year's Eve for an appearance at 1OAK Las Vegas at the Mirage Hotel & Casino, a gig she reportedly netted $300,000 for.
The black mesh number by Julien MacDonald featured some strategically placed, sequined appliques covering the reality star's famous assets.
Christian Louboutin heels and Lanvin purse aside, Kim's best accessory was boyfriend Kanye West, who rung in 2013 by his baby mama's side.
We can't wait to see how Kim's wardrobe will evolve as her bump continues to grow.

I remember when construction was going on for this place and the sign said, " grand opening 2 days" for like a month, lol. Everyone at the office was happy to try a new place out when the doors finally opened and I can't tell you how happy we were to have a place like this within walking distance. It's almost impossible not to stuff yourself so Ramen has become a place to treat yourself because you know after a meal you'll be waddling back like a stoned penguin. It is delicious though. I ordered the same thing, "Takatsu Ramen Spicy level 2" about a hundred times straight before I started to branch out. I rarely order the same thing at a restaurant, it's just that it's that good. My new love has become the Kara-Age chicken... It's simply amazing. Quick fried so it has a great crispiness, but it's so juicy and delicious you almost swear off all other food. The staff is always seems genuinely happy to see you and to work there which makes for a great lunch. I particularly like that the kitchen is open so you get to watch the expert chefs putting everything together. I have brought several people out to try it because most people think of Top Ramen and can't imagine how it could be considered a gourmet meal... But it is. It's one of the best places for food in the area.

(AP) BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - A Connecticut real estate agent has been charged with stealing a competitor's for sale signs from the front lawns of area homes.
Police say 54-year-old Robert Toth, of Shelton, was charged Wednesday with third-degree larceny and first-degree criminal trespass. Toth owns American Home Realty in Trumbull.
Police say U.S. Asset Realty owner Jihad Shaheer complained in September that his signs had been stolen from more than a half-dozen sites in Bridgeport and from the front of two homes in Stratford.
Police tell the Connecticut Post ( http://bit.ly/TT1Dsp) that they later determined that Toth had been taking the signs. Toth had worked for Shaheer before opening his own real estate company.
Toth declined to comment.

The 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has proven the most complicated and controversial of all arms control treaties, both in principle and in practice. Statements of nuclear-weapon States from the Cold War to the present, led by the United States, show a disproportionate prioritization of the non-proliferation pillar of the Treaty, and an unwarranted underprioritization of the civilian energy development and disarmament pillars of the treaty. This book argues that the way in which nuclear-weapon States have interpreted the Treaty has laid the legal foundation for a number of policies related to trade in civilian nuclear energy technologies and nuclear weapons disarmament. These policies circumscribe the rights of non-nuclear-weapon States under Article IV of the Treaty by imposing conditions on the supply of civilian nuclear technologies. They also provide for the renewal and maintaintenance, and in some cases further development of the nuclear weapons arsenals of nuclear-weapon States. The book provides a legal analysis of this trend in treaty interpretation by nuclear-weapon States and the policies for which it has provided legal justification. It argues, through a close and systematic examination of the Treaty by reference to the rules of treaty interpretation found in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, that this disproportionate prioritization of the non-proliferation pillar of the Treaty leads to erroneous legal interpretations of the Treaty, prejudicing the legitimate legal interests of non-nuclear-weapon States.

MADISON - Govert Well & Pump, Inc., of Janesville, Wisconsin, together with its owners, Martin C. Govert and Andy L. Dunn, will pay a $100,000 judgment along with restitution to settle a lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) in Rock County Circuit Court for violating Wisconsin well drilling laws and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rules.
The complaint, filed February 7, 2008, alleged that the defendants: failed to properly construct four wells in Rock County; failed to submit accurate well construction reports for these wells; submitted 836 falsified water samples for newly constructed wells; and filed 257 water sample reports and 806 well construction reports late. The alleged violations occurred since 2001.
The defendants cooperated with the DOJ and the DNR to resolve the violations alleged in the complaint. In addition to paying forfeitures and costs, the defendants will notify the DNR of all future well drilling locations, correct four wells, resample or provide $50 to each well owner for each unsampled well for the 836 falsified water samples and correct newly discovered wells where code violations exist.
In announcing the judgment, Van Hollen stressed the need for the drillers of water wells in Wisconsin to obey the law. "The Department of Justice will continue to work with the Department of Natural Resources to ensure compliance with environmental laws," Van Hollen said.
DOJ filed the lawsuit at the request of DNR. Rock County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Forbeck approved the parties' settlement. Assistant Attorney General Mary Batt represented the State of Wisconsin.

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) -- Police say a Yakima convenience store clerk wasn't intimidated by a man who walked in with a gun and tried to take cash out of the register.
She thought the gun looked like a toy, and it didn't sound or smell like a real shot when he fired into the ceiling.
So, she tackled the man Thursday night and fought him out the door of the 8th Street Market.
Yakima police say the man got away, but he didn't get anything.
The clerk was treated for cuts and scrapes to her head.

Art Against Jihad
In this wide-ranging and exclusive Capitalism Magazine interview, ex-Muslim artist extroadinaire Bosch Fawstin discusses: his new graphic novel series The Infidel and its' hero Pigman — the Jihadist's Terrorist; the influence of Frank Miller, Alex Toth and Ayn Rand on his work; the errors of George W. Bush and his contempories; his appearance on the Daily Show and the solution to dealing with Islamic terrorists. Definitely worth reading!
Link: Art Against Jihad: An Interview with Bosch Fawstin Creator of The Infidel and Pigman
Pigman: The Jidhadist's Terrorist
Some scenes from issue #1 of Bosch Fawstin's graphic novel series The Infidel.
The Infidel is a story about twin brothers Killian Duke and Salaam Duka, whose Muslim background comes crashing to the forefront of their lives on 9/11.
Salaam's response is full submission to Islam.
Killian responds by creating a comic book featuring a pigskin-clad superhero named Pigman, who takes on Jihad.
" The idea of Pigman" explains Bosch in a recent interview with Capitalism Magazine "came about when I started thinking about the enemy and what would be their worst nightmare personified. He's a pigskin-clad superhero, a physically big, strong, ruthless defender of Western Civilization who fully understands the enemy and speaks his language. He is the perfect weapon against jihad."

Islam is Islamism; Democracy is Mob Rule
I appreciate Mr. Pipes' assessment of Egypt and the "regime change" there, and certainly respect his appraisal of Islam and the Mideast, but I shudder every time I encounter and otherwise intelligent and knowledgeable person employ the term "democracy" so carelessly. It is as though Mr. Pipes (and many, many others) had never read what the American Founders and Framers had to say about "democracy." They feared and loathed democracy. Democracy, they saw in history, was always an overture to tyranny of one kind or another. Democracy was and remains mob rule. Their purpose was to establish an individual rights-protecting republic, one that was proof against the whims and fashions of mobs, majorities, and power-seeking politicians. Democracy is, for example, a state government banning smoking in private restaurants and bars, because some group with political pull wanted it that way; or Obama patronizing millions of people who want lower health-care costs and endorsing socialized medicine legislation; or state or municipal governments banning plastic (or paper) bags in supermarkets to curry favor with environmentalists. The instances of "democracy" in action are numerous, and they all depend on the employment of government force and the diminishment of individual rights.
Mr. Pipes makes a distinction between Islam and Islamism. But what is Islamism but taking Islam's most belligerent tenets seriously and acting on them?
Islam is a totalitarian ideology, pure and simple. This is aside from its primitive, tribalist character. Islam is already a form of "democracy"; the majority of Muslims want it, and to conform to Sharia law, to worship Allah, honor Mohammad, etc. What could be more democratic than that? But most Muslims, like most Christians (and Jews), develop a kind of schizoid ethics when it comes to practicing the creed. They, too, compartmentalize the "truths" to be found in the scriptures and keep them segregated from what is required in everyday life. Christians, if they attempted to live according to the morality of selflessness and self-sacrifice, which are central tenets of their creed, would be deceased from suicide in a matter of weeks. Muslims, if they attempted to practice literally the central tenets of their creed, would become rampaging hordes and card-carrying Islamo-Nazis.
As you can see, I cut neither Christianity nor Islam any moral slack. If the morality is no good for living on earth, if others' well-being and happiness have priority over one's own (or obeying God's or Allah's will), if there is no "practical" application of and end to it except suicide and/or homicide, what good is it and why subscribe to it? Both creeds are antithetical and hostile to reason. Both deny or act to counter man's nature as a being of volitional consciousness, who must choose his purpose for living and act to achieve those goals in pursuit of his own happiness. Democracy, Christianity, and Islam are all in fundamental opposition to that fact. So I am less sanguine than is Mr. Pipes about Egypt's fate over the next year, or about the fate of any Mideast country. There are millions of Arabs who are also practicing (and perhaps even devout) Muslims who haven't a clue to what individual rights are, or if they are read enough in the subject, would be hostile to them because they'd see that individual rights trump any morality founded on mysticism. Democracy is just another form of mysticism. The "people" will it. Well, so did the Germans, and the Japanese.
The United States itself has slid downward to becoming a democracy. Obama's administration is an overture to tyranny.
Free Speech Under Attack in Europe
Geert Wilders in the WSJ on Islam/Multiculturalism vs Freedom of Speech:
The perverse result is that in Europe it is now all but impossible to have a debate about the nature of Islam, or about the effects of immigration of Islam's adherents. Take my own case, for example. My point is that Islam is not so much a religion as it is a totalitarian political ideology disguised as a religion. To avoid misunderstandings, I always emphasize that I am talking about Islam, not about Muslims. I make a clear distinction between the people and the ideology, between Muslims and Islam, recognizing that there are many moderate Muslims. But the political ideology of Islam is not moderate and has global ambitions; the Koran orders Muslims to establish the realm of Allah in this world, if necessary by force.
Stating my views on Islam has brought me to court on charges of "group insult" and incitement to racial hatred. I am being tried for voicing opinions that I—and my constituents—consider to be the truth. I am being tried for challenging the views that the ruling establishment wants to impose on us as the truth.

Bosch Fawstin's Graphic Novel The Infidel Now Available for Download
Objectivist Cartoonist — perhaps the first major one since Spiderman creator Steve Ditko — whose debut graphic novel, TABLE FOR ONE, received the praise of Alex Toth, along with an Eisner Award nomination, has just released the first chapter/issue of his latest comic book, a graphic novel, in PDF form.
Fawstin's THE INFIDEL, is a story about twin brothers whose Muslim background comes to the forefront of their lives on 9/11. One responds by creating a counter-jihad superhero comic book called PIGMAN, as the other surrenders to Islam. Pigman's battle against his archenemy SuperJihad is echoed by the escalating conflict between the twins.

The Influence of Legal Pragmatism on the 4th Amendment Privacy Doctrine
From Amy Peikoff:
My paper, "Pragmatism and Privacy," is now available online at the NYU Journal of Law & Liberty's website. In the paper, I demonstrate the influence of legal pragmatism on the development of Fourth Amendment privacy doctrine and, towards the end of the paper, I have the opportunity to apply some of Tara Smith's criticisms of Justice Scalia's Originalist methodology. (You may also be interested to read an article appearing in the same issue: Prof. Randy Barnett's article on why the Obamacare individual health insurance mandate is unconstitutional.)
Lindsay Lohan, Hollywood Voice of Reason
Writes Mark Topson at his blog:
[Lohan on Twitter:] I pray Egypt maintains it's [sic] treaty with Israel and sets the trend for its neighbors to create peace with Israel and the entire region.
What a pleasant surprise, to hear someone in the entertainment world not only talk about something other than 1) themselves, 2) their uninformed socialist fantasies, and/or 3) their hatred/sexual fantasies of Sarah Palin, but actually express support for Israel's security for once, instead of bashing the country as a "genocidal apartheid state," banning its films from film festivals, and boycotting musical performances there. Good for you, Ms. Lohan.
For why you should support Israel see Yaron Brook's Israel Has A Moral Right To Its Life.
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged Movie Trailer
Production values look fairly good considering their low budget — then again with a Canon DSLR and some creativity you could shoot a final episode of HOUSE . However, we will reserve final judgment until the movie is released on April 15th.
What do you think?
Another Illiberal Democracy — In Egypt
History makes very clear to nearly everyone (except history's democrats) that democracy–the mere voting power and rule by some majority–is no necessary guarantor of genuine liberties or individual rights; indeed, more often than not, democracies have trampled rights.
For faith-based democrats like Presidents Bush and Obama, democracy means voting — and voting is considered an end in itself, not a means to some other, truly legitimate end like securing and protecting individual rights. ["Another Illiberal Democracy — In Egypt"]

How many cultural square feet are there in Seattle?
How many feet of art gallery space?
How many theater seats are there in Seattle?
Do artists typically own their spaces or rent them?
In 2013 our office set out to find the answers to these questions and more. From the largest to the smallest, we are counting every theater, gallery, arts office, rehearsal room, library, music club, museum, and cinema in town.

If you're an arts or cultural organization (either for-profit or nonprofit) with a permanent space please take part in the ongoing inventory.
If you're an individual artist with permanent workspace (even in your own home) please take part in the ongoing inventory.
Oh, and if you're curious, here are the answers to our questions above:
- To date we've counted 4.8 million square feet of cultural space in Seattle.
- To date we've counted 56,841 theater seats in Seattle.
- To date we've counted 294,688 square feet of art galleries in Seattle.

VIDEO | Wanderlei Silva Ready To Break Sonnen's Nose, Make Him Swallow His Own Teeth
Wanderlei Silva has an intense and clear message for Chael Sonnen!
"I'm only waiting for the date and the location. Because the people want this fight and I want this fight. Sonnen, I will beat you up, you coward… why do I have so many fans? Why does everybody want to watch me fight? Why are you my fan? It's because I fight with all my heart.
"I don't go int here to give up. Like Sonnen did against Jones in the very first round. Like he did against Anderson, when a knee to the chest and stayed down like a little girl.
"Sonnen is a lower level fighter. Don't listen to what that fool says. Now you've messed with the wrong guy, and I will beat you up.
"I've already shut you up, face to face, and you were not man enough to step to me. Sonnen, you are afraid of me, and I can see it in your eyes every time we meet. And now I will get you Sonnen. Now I will get you.
"You won against Shogun by luck, because Shogun was going to beat you up. You were lucky to have caught him in that guillotine. But with me, you will get punched in the face. I will go into this fight not only to fight, but to hurt you. I won't do it fast either. I want a five round main event. I don't want just a co-main event, I want a full 30-minutes to punch your face.
"Do you know what is the difference? I don't go in to fight, I go in to brawl. I go in to punch the face, I go in to draw blood, to break noses. That is the difference."

DAMN! That is one ugly muthafukka.
Poor guy has been knocked out so many times that he's cross-eyed.
Shhhuuuuut the hell up
legend. work on your wrestling, seriously
20X the fighter and contributor to the history of the sport that Sonnen ever was. Sorry guys. Maybe Wand and his fight style are a bit outdated at times but he does have a point. Kill or be killed is the style not hold down or hold down. Sonnen had a good outing against Shogun and I give him credit. He fought well and his performance should be respected. The fact is though that through the years Wand has entertained so many people with his style of fighting and really his treatment of the fans. That's why people still love this guy. Great fighter, great contributor to the sport and deserves the peoples respect. Give up the credit where it is due.
Is that porn music in the background? I could of sworn I've heard that in a brazzers video. =)
sonnen said the hardest person to ever hit him was bisping…in that case sonnen might get down if he gets cracked if thats really the case…5 round war…
Believe In Sonnen
in no way do i believe shogun would of beat up sonnen, no disrespect but he got so owned in that first round
Obviously if people don't respect what this guy has accomplished in the sport it's because that haven't been a fan very long. Bitchping hasn't hit anyone hard his entire career ha ha
Wandy is a legend in the sport of MMA something Sonnen could only dream about. Sonnen will forever be a disgraced ROID CHEAT FELON who has a bunch of WWE WRASSLIN fans who are nothing but kids or FELONS/ROID CHEATS just like him
WAR WAND!! We know Sonnen can wrestle. Since he is the king of calling people out, let's see if he will back it up and brawl it out on the feet with Wand…….doubt that! Get him WAND!!!
All sonnen will do is hold him down. That's all wrestlers do, they don't dictate the fight they just try to take their opponent down when they get punched in the face. LAME!!
Silva's legend is not in question. The man has done a lot in this sport, and I have mad respect for the man. But that's the past. If he fights Sonnen ,he's going to get owned. Sonnen is still evolving as a fighter and I think he still has a few more surprises in store for us. Just my humble opinion.
Only thing that evolved with Sonnen was his massive steroid abuse. All you have to do is watch Maia fight and see the difference of what massive steroid abuse has done for Sonnen. The man is nothing but a cheat and Federally convicted FELON. Sonnen will never be champ in any weight class and he is a boring ass lay n prayer. Sonnen couldn't go toe to toe with a 5 year old
Sonnen will forever be remembered as a cheater who couldn't win any bid fights and the only reason he ever wins at all is 100% because of his steroid abuse
lol hop off chael's nuts already. ur trolling every comment section about chael, under a fake name no less, trying to spread your hatred and jealousy for chael p. sonnen…it is quite pathetic. furthermore, tits mcgee brings up a valid point that u cannot get away from. if wandy steps in that cage with chael p, he is getting ragdolled and dragged to the ground within seconds, and likey either choked into unconsciousness or choked until he tapped out like a little b*tch….kinda like what happened to shogun.
Only complete scum would ever root for such a piece of shit of a person like Sonnen. The man is a complete and utter disgrace to all the "REAL" fighters and decent people in MMA. I predict Sonnen get locked up in the next few years for his steroid abuse and FRAUD he is doing monthly by obtaining massive amounts of RX testosterone far above what his primary physician has him on. NO DOCTOR would risk their license prescribing the massive amounts OF JUICE Sonnen shoots in to his a's every month. Its only a matter of time when Sonnen gets a knock on the door from the DEA
Tapped like a little bitch? Kinda what happend to Sonnen a while ago too…..
so tell me….what are your feelings about vitor belfort's rampant testosterone and steroid abuse? how come your name isn't viToRbelforT the steroid cheat?? or are u just a bitter chael-hater who was looking so forward to watching shogun knock him out……only to watch sonnen ragdoll him and make him quit. ouch. shogun couldn't even hang with chael for 5 minutes. that must have been a tough night for u
You mean like Sonnen tapped like a bitch on several occasions …like that ha ha …nice one FU
Sonnen doesn't like to fight guys who are truly getting in the cage to hurt him. We saw in the rematch against Anderson how he folded under the pressure and he will fold this time again.
u thought he would fold against shogun…..look what happened. u can only pray that he folds against wandy…..but deep down……u know what's gonna happen……u cringe at the thought…….but u know chael is gonna walk across that cage and put wandy on his ass…….and from that moment on…..it's gonna be all downhill…….1 more in the win column…..and 1 more for the bad guy.
You mean Sonnen will hide on the ground rolling around because you know he sucks on the feet and can't even hit as hard as Bitchping. You know he won't brawl
this isn't the ultimate brawling championship….it is the ultimate FIGHTING championship. u dont get to tell your opponent how to fight. if u dont like the way your opponent is fighting….do something about it. unfortunately for wand….he's not a good enough fighter to dictate where the fight goes. if chael wants to take him down….he's gonna take him down….whenever he wants…..and do u know what wandy is gonna do about it? i'll give u a hint……he's gonna do the same thing shogun did……..absolutely nothing:)
Exactly! FIGHTING championship! Not DRYHUMP championship!
hey look it's @DoucheBag(69's…dudes) back from his boyfriends. right on…(rolls eyes)
gay roy tranny 3000!!! how is ur mom? tell her i miss her
? Where and when did I say he would fold against Shogun?
It was hard to see Shogun lose like he did to Sonnen.
It is going to be hard to watch Wand get taken down and battered on for however many rounds they fight.
Whenever I hear the name Wanderlei Silva I think of the dude that made women cry in the audience at Pride. I think of the dude that people were scared to fight, much like Cro-Cop.
If not for the Shoguns, Wands, and these old schoolers from the dark days of MMA what would the UFC be now?
I like Sonnen. And I get that he is selling tickets and knows how to make money.
But sometimes it bugs me that he chooses easy targets like Wand. We know the outcome of this fight. TD FTW.
At least when he was calling out Anderson and JBJ it was exciting for me. Hell even Shogun was an interesting fight. I was damn surprised that he got the guillotine. Machida is also interesting.
But Wand? Not interesting. Easy payday for Chael.
But I get it. It is nice to take a cakewalk once in a while. Bums me out that it has to be Wand.
Stand with Wandy… Do it Chael.. Show us you can back up all that shit talk.. The only time you can stand with anybody is when you're roided to the max at a fucken 14:1 ratio…. Sad ass mothafucker!
did royce gracie stand with his opponents? go watch boxing. clown
War Wand!!!Fag boy will not stand with you.
Would Royce Gracie stand? Impose ur will! I'm a Wendy fan but also a fight fan! Is bj weak for tryin to take down nick? Is Edgar weak to try n keep the fight standing w bj? I say no… No holds just mma, if ur one dimensional go to k-1 !!!
exactly. "757" and "again" are just a couple of butthurt chael-haters who are still very bitter about what happened last weekend on fox sports 1. they are also well aware that if their hero wandy steps in the cage with chael, his only chance is a brawl. they know wandy doesn't have the skill to stop chael from taking him down whenever he wants. i imagine that must be really tough for a wandy fan to accept. to watch him get completely ragdolled and abused by chael p. sonnen.
lol cmon bro stand and bang! ur too scared to stand and bang bro! they show their ignorance and their lack of mma knowledge by their own ridiculous comments:)
First of all you insanely stupid ghetto rat I am the one who gave Sonnen credit for winning so check your fucking facts idiot! Don't try and call me out when you tend to make the dumbest comments ever.
oooooohhhh you're the one who gave sonnen credit for winning?? really??? u gave sonnen credit for ragdolling and submitting shogun in the first round?? wow. what a standup guy! how mighty white of u! no seriously, let's pretend your opinion actually matters to anyone and u giving sonnen credit for such a dominant performance against a legend actually meant something. does that mean you're not a chael hater? because u gave him credit for a thrashing of a legend? is that not u in the comments above us saying "chael tapped like a bitch on several occasions"…."sonnen will hide on the ground rolling around because you know he sucks on the feet and cant even hit as hard as bitchping"…"fag boy will not stand with you"????? im sorry….was that not you??? how does that saying go? if it looks like a chael-hater and quacks like a chael-hater….it's a duck? well, somthing like that ….dont be ashamed to admit it.
THE ONLY THING THAT YOUR COMMENT ADDS UP TO IS THAT WOULD LIKE TO SUCK HIS DICK. Not only are you a hood rat but a fucking moron who should be watching wrestling. Mighty white of me? Ok you have no idea what color I am because between the two of us you are the guy with the fucking shaft pic ha ha. Since you want to insult my race without knowing what mine is we will just assume that you are another "stop picking on me I am a poor afro american who's a desendant of a slave" manpower affirmative action reverse racist mother fucker! Put that in your bong and smoke it ha ha
you are a complete tool. that's not me in my pic. that's jon jones. perhaps you've heard of him. he is the ufc light-heavyweight champion.
cant believe i wasted my time with a rookie
Yeah I heard of him you probably want to suck his dick too! You fucking pussy you have nothing left to say. Go cry for some more public welfare program handouts.

Apple is set to launch its breakthrough set of free cloud services tomorrow called iCloud together with iOS 5, as announced during the "Let's Talk iPhone" event in Cupertino on October 4, where the tech giant also revealed the new iPhone 4S. The much-awaited iCloud includes iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream and Documents in the Cloud, that allows you to automatically and wirelessly sync your content to iCloud and pushed to different devices including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC. iCloud will be available globally at launch.
iTunes in the Cloud automatically downloads new song purchases into your devices without having to manually sync. It also lets you download previous purchases including music and TV shows with no additional cost. iTunes Match scans and matches songs in your music library to more than 20 million songs available on the iTunes Store, offering high-quality, DRM-free 256 kbps AAC encoded alternatives. Unmatched songs are uploaded to iCloud so you can play songs, albums or playlists from your music library on your devices. Very cool.
Photo Stream lets you take a photo on one device and have it automatically appear on your other devices. Documents in the Cloud keeps your documents up to date across all your devices. It works very much like Dropbox. Apple's iWork productivity apps for iOS, Pages, Numbers and Keynote will take advantage of iCloud storage. iCloud also lets you see your App Store and iBookstore purchase history and download those apps and books to any of your devices at any time. Purchased apps and books can be automatically downloaded to your devices, not limited to just the device they were purchased on.
iCloud Backup is a much-anticipated service, especially for me. It automatically and securely backs up your most important information to iCloud daily over Wi-Fi. iCloud Backup backs up your photos and video in the Camera Roll, device settings, app data, home screen and app organization, messages and ringtones. Comes in especially handy when you need to set up a new iOS device or restore information on one you already own.
Most importantly, iCloud works seamlessly with the center of your universe – your Contacts, Calendar and Mail. Your me.com email are up to date across your iOS devices and computers, and with icloud.com you have easy web access to your Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone and iWork documents.
The Find My iPhone and Find My Friends apps are handy location-based additions and are available as a free download from the App Store.
Pricing & Availability
iCloud requires iPhone, iPad or iPod touch users running iOS 5 or a Mac running OS X Lion with a valid Apple ID. iCloud includes 5GB of free cloud storage for Mail, Document Storage and Backup. Purchased music, TV shows, apps, books and Photo Stream do not count against the storage limit. iTunes Match will be available starting in the US later this month for $24.99 a year.

Great Jacket !
I wore this great little jacket while I ran the Niagara Falls International Marathon on 10/27/13.This jacket kept me comfortable during the entire race. There was a constant wind running along the Niagara river for the majority of the race so I really did put this jacket to the test and it is definitely windproof.The temperature at the start of the race was 38 and when I finished it was barely 50 degrees.I was comfortable and even a little warm at times for the entire marathon with this jacket over a long bra top and shorts and my pace averaged around 8:45 per mile. I also discovered that it is very water-resistant. Thankfully it did not rain during the marathon but it poured as I walked to the race expo and I wore this jacket all day and stayed dry and comfortable from the elements.The only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because I only wished that the pocket in the back was a little bigger. I would highly recommend this great little jacket as it truly is windproof and water-resistant and it helped me a lot both before and during my fourth marathon!
