COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The University of New Mexico Women's Basketball program continues its strong showing the Mountain West Conference's various academic awards. Three Lobos were named Mountain West Scholar-Athletes, which came days after a conference-high ten Lobos received academic all-conference honors.
Caroline Durbin (Business Administration), Chinyere Nnaji (Biology) and Whitney Johnson (Business Administration) all received the award for a second-straight year. Durbin and Nnaji, both seniors, have now received this award in all four years as members of the program.
The three award winners for the 2012-13 academic year marks the tenth-straight year New Mexico Women's Basketball has had at least three scholar-athletes. Since the award was created by the Mountain West in 2003-04, UNM Women's Hoops has amassed 51 MW Scholar-Athletes.
Just like the Mountain West Academic All-Conference awards, New Mexico Athletics led all conference members with 132 scholar-athletes.
Ten Lobos Earn Academic All-Conference Honors
The Mountain West Conference released its spring Academic All-Conference teams on Thursday afternoon, and University of New Mexico Women's Basketball shined in the report with ten Lobos garnering honors. New Mexico led all Mountain West programs with ten academic all-conference award winners.
The ten academic all-conference honorees tie the second-most award winners in program history. Since joining the Mountain West Conference in 1999, Lobo Women's Basketball have now had a total of 107 Academic All-Mountain West performers.
Coach Sanchez and company's showing in the academic all-conference award list was part of department-wide success by New Mexico Athletics. UNM, as an athletic department, placed 111 spring student-athletes on the academic all-conference list. The 111 honorees led all Mountain West institutions for the spring semester.

Scoring a hundred in Twenty20 is a rare skill. So how did Ajinkya Rahane - the latest ton-up hero of the IPL - practice to make sure he could nail three figures in 60 balls in Bangalore?
The truth is that there is no magic to practice for any format.
If you do it right and you do it enough you will improve. Your tactical approach may adjust to the game length but your basic style and technique doesn't change much. That understanding of mastering the basic is why Rahane is a success in all formats in Indian domestic cricket.
And one very simple way to make the most of practice is to use throwdowns.
Rahane uses throwdowns extensively, and it's not just a matter of convenience. The throwdown is a perfect combination of bowling machine and bowler while taking away the bad elements of both.
Bowling machines, while accurate, give no clues to where the ball is going (like bowlers do in their action and release point). Meanwhile bowlers don't allow you to practice specific shots due to the variations in line and length.
Throwdowns allow you to see the release point (even with a Sidearm) like a bowler, but have accuracy that is much closer to a bowling machine.
Of course, there is still a place for machines and bowlers, but incorporating more throwdowns at the expense of other methods is a practice method that will help you gain success.
How to organise throwdowns
You don't need much for a good throwdown session. Combine some balls and a batting buddy with a clear goal of what you want to get from the session is enough.
And that goal is the important part. If you want to practice your on drive, make sure you are getting leg stump half volleys. The natural variation of the thrower means she will occasionally get it wrong, but even that is good because you are on your toes to be reacting.
On the other hand if you are doing tactical practice (for example with BATEX) then the throwdown partner has more variation available to her. If she gets good with a Sidearm she can even give you spin and swing deliveries.
Get creative in group net situations and make the most of the resources you have available. You might need to use tennis balls on the outfield for technical throwdowns - there is no shame it that even at the highest level - or you can allocate a throwdown net if you can occupy the bowlers in the remaining nets.
For me throwdowns are an underrated element in the success of players like Rahane. Of course you need talent, hard work, luck and more to hit an IPL hundred, but the simple secret to starting on the road to becoming a classy cricketer is doing the basics to perfection every time. Throwdown gives you the best chance.

Harrow would doze off after a long day of basketball practice and visions of coach John Calipari would dance in his head. "He's right there, doing what he does: coaching and screaming," Harrow said. "You just got to wake up and be like, 'OK, it's just a dream.' "

This is the first volume in the third printed incarnation of Alexandre Grothendieck's famous Séminaire de Géométrie Algébrique. Reset by a team of volunteers and with a few notes added to update the material, the new edition is valuable both as a historical document and as a reference for students of algebraic geometry.
In the early 1960s, Grothendieck and a large group of collaborators set out to remake the foundations of algebraic geometry. With Jean Dieudonné, he started writing the Éléments de Géométrie Algébrique, later known as EGA, in which they planned to completely recast the basics of the subject. Simultaneously, Grothendieck started an algebraic geometry seminar at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in which he and others could develop the new ideas further. The published reports from the seminar made up the several "SGA" volumes. The stated goal was to eventually incorporate all or most of SGA into EGA.
The plan was extremely ambitious, and, as is well known, it was never actually completed. Four (of ten originally planned) parts of EGA were eventually published (only one in book format), and seven parts of SGA (several of which had multiple volumes).
SGA was originally published and distributed by IHES, with this first volume, containing material presented at the seminar in 1960 and 1961, appearing in 1963. In the late 1960s, Grothendieck resigned from IHES and prohibited it from having anything further to do with the work. As a result, the SGA volumes were reprinted (with only minor updates) in Springer's Lecture Notes in Mathematics series. At that point, they were still photo-reproductions from typed notes, not very easy to read or handle.
The new edition of SGA 1 is elegantly done in TeX, with a few added notes by Michel Raynaud updating the material when necessary. (Large chunks of the material in SGA 1 were superseded by EGA IV; this had already been noted in the 1970 reprint and is not belabored in the new version.) The page numbers from the original edition are reproduced in the margins, a nice touch that historians will value. The book still retains much of its character as seminar notes; for example, there are no notes from the seventh seminar, and this is simply noted in the table of contents as "VII: n'existe pas."
SGA 1 includes the 1970 introduction to the whole series, outlining Grothendieck's ambitious plans, listing all of the SGA volumes, and explaining his break with IHES. The main topic of the seminar is the theory of étale coverings and the related notion of the (algebraic) fundamental group. This material has, of course, been treated elsewhere since, but this remains a useful reference. Many thanks are due to the SMF for bringing these volumes back; let's hope they stay the course and get through the whole series! Even more, let's hope they do EGA also!
Note: SGA 2 is also available in the same series.
Fernando Q. Gouvêa is looking forward to retiring his old copies of the SGA volumes.

A while back I was reading "This Day in Mets Infamy with Rusty" over at Real Dirty Mets and listed first that day was the fact that it was Jesse Gonders birthday.
Well, there are certain players who are so distinctive in one area of the game that it never leaves you. Eventually, they become part of your language; they become living, breathing examples. In a singular way, iconic. Someone doesn't just throw well, they throw like Clemente. Or run like Reyes. You see a player you associate so much with one thing that he becomes the benchmark you use to judge all others. The first player who became a benchmark player for me, a living simile — Jesse Gonder.
There was a nice article written by Barry Duchan on Metsmerized Online, and I learned a lot about Gonder that I did not know. Gonder played for the early terrible Mets of my childhood; he was a catcher on the 1963, 1964, and 1965 squads. When you look up his statistics, they were not too bad for back then, especially when you consider the teams he played for. But for me, Gonder became forever associated with one thing. Jesse Gonder was slow. How slow? If Gonder was racing the hare, he could have slept as long as Rip Van Winkle and still have won the race. Gonder didn't so much run as he lurched forward. It was painful to watch. And so, Jimmy, I had my first benchmark player. To this day I never call a player slow. Instead, "Jason Phillips runs like Jesse Gonder."
I recently read a funny line about a slow player. A scout said, "He runs like he's waiting for his blockers."
Yeah, I understand what you are getting at. In our own private language — something that only you would instantly understand — I might comment that Justin Turner is "Our Towel Guy."
Yes, Lenny Harris. He was, to me, the iconic bench player who was supposedly beloved in the clubhouse, essential for team morale. The pinch-hitting specialist who couldn't hit; the player who couldn't run, or field. We always asked, Why is that guy still on the team? What can he actually do? And the answer was always, "He's a great clubhouse guy!" Waving those towels, slapping those backs.
Another guy I give you credit for making larger than life is none other than Masato Yoshi! In 1999, pitching adequately, he won 12 important games for the Mets. You loved him. The lesson was that a team's #5 pitcher is never going to be great, but he can be immensely valuable if he's better than the other team's #5. The back end of the rotation may not get the headlines, but it can make a huge difference in a team's won-loss record. In 2013, I think Dillon Gee could be our Yoshi.
For me another singularly iconic player is Craig Swan. Poor Craig had it bad in two ways. An excellent pitcher, the NL E.R.A. champ in 1978, Swan was stuck playing on our miserable mid-to-late 1970's teams. Worse, he could never stay on the field.
Will Carroll has oftentimes remarked that staying healthy is a skill. Well, it is a skill Craig Swan did not possess. Now, to be clear, Swan didn't have one major recurring injury. Swan's problems were everything. The guy just didn't seem to have the correct body to be a major league baseball player. The following is a list of injuries that landed Swan on the disabled list in the years he played for the Mets:
- Appendectomy followed by peritonitis,
- Stress fracture of elbow,
- Muscle strain behind shoulder,
- Torn rotator cuff,
- Fractured rib (when Ron Hodges hit him with a throw to second!),
- Discomfort in right shoulder.
Watching all this unfold from Shea, I coined a phrase I use to this day, Craig Swan's Disease, which means, frankly, you are not built for a lifetime in sports. A recent example of usage — "Fernando Martinez will never make it. He has Craig Swan's Disease. "
I could go on, there are so many skills and talents to appreciate or denigrate by association. Another beautiful thing about the game of baseball.
I'm sure everyone has their own standard bearers.

Drought-stricken Texas producers are receiving more help from fellow farmers and ranchers through another governor's executive order to allow easier hay transport to the Lone Star State. Earlier this week, South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard signed an agreement to lift permit restrictions for oversized vehicles moving baled hay to Texas.
"I'd like to thank South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture Walt Bones and Gov. Dennis Daugaard for helping ease hay transportation restrictions on behalf of Texas ranchers who are in desperate need of forage to feed their herds," said Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples. "Texas leads the nation in cattle production, but due to devastating drought and a critical lack of forage, our ranchers are selling off their herds at unsustainable rates that will have long-term effects on our economy and our consumers. Thanks to our friends in South Dakota, we have renewed hope here in Texas."
Texas farmers and ranchers are struggling to maintain their crops and herds amidst one of the most severe droughts on record. Dry weather has impacted hay production in the state, leaving many producers in desperate need of supplemental feed.
"When South Dakota has faced drought conditions, people in other states have helped us out," Bones said. "Suspending this permit requirement is one way we can get feed to those producers who need it in a timely manner."

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - It looks like Wisconsin's wolf hunting season is winding down fast. Department of Natural Resources officials say hunters had reported killing 90 wolves as of Tuesday afternoon.
According to DNA data, hunters trapped 55 of the animals. The agency plans to end the season when hunters have taken 116 wolves or on the last day of February, whichever comes first.
The DNR already has closed two wolf hunting zones in far northeastern Wisconsin because hunters have nearly reached the zones' quotas.

Did Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Split Up? Justin Tweets Love Amid Rumors
Is Justin Bieber ready to be someone else's "Boyfriend"?
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Biebs and Selena Gomez have broken up multiple times in the last few months, including last week, but decided to give their relationship another try. They're not "solid," just trying to figure things out after dating for a year and a half.
People followed up on the relationship trail late Thursday night, quoting their own source as saying Selena "was crying about Justin and was upset" during Ashley Tisdale's birthday bash last week. So maybe that was the breakup they got over?
Justin and Selena have faced breakup rumors in the past, as well as rumors that they are about to get engaged. Since he is 18 and she is 19 it's more likely they will break up at some point than get engaged and ride off into the sunset, but that doesn't mean whatever they are going through now is The End.
Justin and Selena haven't commented on the most recent split rumors, but Justin tweeted early Friday morning, "random shoutout to the world. #MUCHLOVE." So he loves the world even if things may not be "solid" with Selena.
Are you buying the breakup rumors?

Driving along you'd click it down with the upper third or quarter or eighth of your left foot, and bang: job done, no hands man, it was low beam and keep 'em coming-cars that is.
You know what I'm talking about? How old are you?
Let's see, you'd have to be what, 40, or 35 maybe, if your first car was used, to know what I'm talking about. Because if you count 18 as being first car owning age-and you're 35-now, you were18, let me figure this, a 35 (sorry, I add out loud), year old was 18 in, what, 1992-so yeah, I'm right, if you're in your 30s now, you'd have to have had an older car as your first car to know what I'm talking about; how beautifully the toe clicker high/low beam switch worked.
Remember the sound it made? It was a solid, All-American, "I poured eleven concrete piers today, got done at ten-thirty, pouring the last one tomorrow," guy type sound. Stop reading for a second and if you know the sound I speak of, and listen for it. Solid.
The definitive "kahnahca" sound the clicker made was enhanced by it's being constructed so perfectly that when you pressed down on it your foot would ground off the strength of it's rugged design, sending a not so subtle volt of juice up through your leg to your hip bone creating a muscle memory that, for me hasn't dimmed a titch in more than twenty years. (Partially explains so many baby-boomer hip replacements)
Interesting that the angle your foot rested on the clicker made it so the pressure you applied to operate the switch did not move it in a straight down trajectory, which led one to assume the clicker might wear fast, or malfunction regularly. But it rarely did.

TORONTO, CANADA--- University of New Mexico men's tennis junior Graeme Kassautzki won the first Annual Canadian University Games on Saturday (Aug. 18). Kassautzki, a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, was the number two seed in the tournament. Kassautzki defeated Quebec's Keziel Juneau in the semifinal round (6-3, 6-2) to meet up with fellow Lobo Kamil Pajkowski in the finals.
Pajkowski, a senior on the Lobo men's tennis team, is a native of Burnaby, British Columbia. Pajkowski went through both the number three and one seeds to make it to the finals. Kassautzki, the 2005 Canada Summer Games Gold Medalist, won the championship match in two sets (6-3, 6-2).
The University Games invites the top eight collegiate players that are natives of Canada. Kassautzki and Pajkowski were both selected, giving them a chance to represent the Lobo men's team.
"We have had a number of Canadian players and we are very proud of Graeme and Kamil and all of their success," said head men's tennis coach Alan Dils. "We work hard to develop our players and I think the results show this. Kamil has come a long way and Graeme has certainly shown that he was a blue chip recruit."
The Lobos men's tennis team prepares to open the season on Sept. 14 when they travel to Las Cruces, N.M to participate in the NMSU Fall Invite. The first home action is slated for Oct. 5-7 when the Lobos host the UNM Balloon Fiesta Invitational.

The Last Ride
One of the most enduring images of Hurricane Sandy was the photograph of the Star Jet Rollercoaster from Seaside Heights, NJ, washed away from its pier mooring. Its wreck, as seen from the shore, became an ominous and emblematic image of changing weather and ocean conditions due to climate change.
This piece translates weather and ocean data from Oct 29-30, when Hurricane Sandy took the last ride on the Star Jet Rollercoaster.


text: WVU Football: Dana Holgorsen positive about Mountaineers' attitude ahead of Towson game WVU Football: Dana Holgorsen positive about Mountaineers' attitude ahead of Towson game Current Football Featured On Campus SHARE Chris Humphrey , September 1, 2014 / 1323 1 Second-ranked Alabama did what most expected them to do last Saturday, but putting away West Virginia wasn't as easy as many believed it would be prior to the game in Atlanta. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen spoke on the team's positive attitude during Sunday's practice after the close game against Alabama and how it could help the Mountaineers in the remaining 11 games on the 2014 schedule in Monday's Big 12 teleconference. "I was pleased with how things went yesterday," said Holgorsen. "Our guys were disappointed, but very eager and attentive when it came to wanting to watch the film to make corrections and went outside and had a good practice." Entering the game as a 25-and-a-half point underdog to Alabama, West Virginia's fast-paced offense kept the Crimson Tide guessing as the Mountaineers were down just three following an Adam Griffith 41-yard field goal as time expired for the first half. After drops by normally sure-handed receivers that put the brakes on promising drive in the second half, Holgorsen knows that West Virginia wasted chances at making the game even closer than the eventual outcome. "Going into the fourth quarter, we had ample opportunities to be able to make plays in critical situations," he said. "I think the thing that we learned from it is that we're going to be in a lot of those games. We were in those games last year against a bunch of good teams. We're going to be in those games again this year against a bunch of good teams. We're going to need to make plays and make plays calls in critical situations." In the fourth quarter, West Virginia's three drives only took a combined three minutes and 29 seconds off the game clock, while nearly every other Mountaineer drive took more than double that off the clock in the three prior quarters. Alabama's offense slowly churned out first down after first down that didn't give West Virginia another chance to make a comeback. "We can improve and build on the good things that we did and fix the bad things that we did. We played pretty well. We just didn't play very good in critical situations," Holgoresen said. "That was problem for us last year on both sides of the ball. Critical situations are hard. Good teams are good in critical situations. That's why Alabama has won a whole bunch of games." With the strong performance against Alabama and practice over the weekend, Holgorsen likes where his team is at ahead of Saturday's home opener against Towson, who also lost on Saturday in a 31-27 upset by Central Connecticut State. "Our guys are in a good place right now," he said. "We're not interested in any moral victories, but we felt like we could play with those guys and went into the game in a good frame of mind. Both coaches and player were disappointed, but both eager and determined to turn that disappointment into an opportunity to win a game this week."

Re: The End For Blu-Ray?
Guys, in five years you will be lucky if you find a DVD movie. Think about VHS and the dominance it had over DVD. Nowadays you have to shop in a pawn shop to find that old release of "Bad News Bears" in VHS.
In time, the teens of todays will be respectable consumers and wouldn't know a DVD from a CD. Please, HD is all they will know. It is like telling kids that a Walkman was once cool. Please, I know. I am 37 and only buy a DVD if it is not available on HD DVD or Blu Ray (I luckily have both). If I can see it in high fidelity; why the hell buy it on DVD. Moreover, on Amazon both HD media are getting cheaper by the day. Mark my words, DVD will die and in five years the Wii will be third in marketshare (that is a direct jab at Zelda but what the hell

Kane is recovering from a broken metatarsal and his return could hardly have gone better as he scored twice in the 3-1 win over West Ham.
The 19-year-old had made just two appearances for Norwich before he suffered the injury against Doncaster in the Capital One Cup at the end of September.
Kane now has his sights set on a return to contention ahead of the hectic festive schedule.
"I had a good 10 weeks rehab back at Spurs and the main thing is just to be back playing, there are no problems now so it is just about getting as many minutes as I can and then pushing on into the first team," Kane told the Norwich website.
"Everything feels good, we will just have to wait and see how long it is now before I am back.
"The team's on fire and the lads are doing great."

Port Chester schools are hoping to capture a piece of an $87 million pot of money that is available to New York schools serving low-income students to purchase new technology and software.
State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. says the funding is available as part of the settlement reached between New York State consumers and Microsoft Corporation in 2006. King said the state Education Department established the New York State School Technology Voucher Program to distribute the funds in the form of vouchers to eligible schools.
"Far too often, students in low income school districts miss out on the use of the latest technology in the classroom," King said. "Our goal is to graduate every student with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in college and careers. Technology is an important tool to help students reach that goal. These funds will help level the playing field for thousands of students."

Mr. Bear, a quick question about Halo: Silentium (loved the book by the way)
Why exactly did Faber fire his Halo at Path Kethona as the Flood/Mendicant Bias closed in? I realize they needed to clear a path for the IsoDidact to escape to the other Ark, but why kill Path Kethona specifically? Was it in case the Flood had any reserves there?
Thanks for any clarification
From: Greg Bear

Thanks, Ryan!
Path Kethona was the origin of the Flood, as I recall my ancient history. And there might have been a desire to wipe out those uncomfortable records.

|About the Change
Rambert Dance Company
October 1998
London, Sadler's Wells
by Lynette Halewood
This was a memorable night: not perhaps in the way that the organisers would have planned, but one not to be forgotten. The occasion was the reopening of Sadler's Wells after a closure period of nearly two years. During this period, the Opera House has also closed for rebuilding. London had no dedicated dance theatre, and the ROH have seemed intent on self destruction, in which they are all too likely to succeed. So after all the Covent Garden doom, gloom, resignations and recriminations, the opening of a new theatre devoted to dance is a welcome ray of light.
It very nearly didn't happen. There had been persistent rumours that the building schedule was too ambitious (they couldn't afford to close for longer, because they need the revenue: Sadler's Wells gets a very modest level of funding from the Arts Council) and opening was likely to be delayed. On the day, ticket holders were instructed to ring in to check 'final details'. All through the afternoon the messages were updated. The theatre was undergoing its final licensing inspection...the stalls seating had been licensed...now the circle...inspection of the second circle was continuing (this at 5:30 !). In fact we had to wait until just after 8pm, half an hour after the scheduled start, before we finally got into the auditorium and a visibly drained Ian Albery announced the licence had been granted, the performance could go ahead, and (to an even bigger cheer) that the bars were now licensed to serve alcohol.
The good news about Sadler's Wells is that the plan has obviously been thought through with consideration for both audience and performers. The stage is about as wide as Covent Garden, and very deep, substantially larger than before. Sight lines are good (speaking from the cheap seats in the second circle). There is plenty of room (pale, light and airy) for the audience to move around in during intervals (the old Sadler's was more like Victoria station in the rush hour), and lots of space for exhibitions, not used yet. I do wish the money had extended to padded rather than wooden armrests for the seats, but otherwise it was very comfortable. Or it will be, when it's finished.
I've never been to a theatre which bore such a close resemblance to a building site before. It was easy to see why Islington council had been so worried about the licence. The decoration isn't so much unfinished as not started: great panels are missing everywhere, cables are looped up in piles, cement mixers parked outside. Men in hard hats wandered among the audience, looking as bemused as we were. The bars were not yet stocked, the cash registers working unpredictably, the computer system for issuing tickets behaving in mysteriously recalcitrant ways, the toilets on the second circle non functional, and the heating wasn't working. Evidently there is only one dressing room completed, and the dancers were rumoured to be rehearsing in masks because of the dust. Still all this can be fixed, and it will, and London has a fine new dance venue which has a varied and interesting programme arranged through to April next year. After that there is a gaping hole due to the ROH's pulling out of its commitments, though at least some compensation for Sadler's Wells has been agreed. (Perhaps we will have some interesting visitors as a consequence ?).
In the circumstances, I think we were all willing Rambert to do well. It did seem a good choice of company to open the theatre, underlining both history (Ballet Rambert's links with Sadler's Wells go back to the thirties) and Sadler's commitment to contemporary dance as well as ballet. There were four items on the program: opening with Kylian's No More Play and Petite Mort: a new commission from Christopher Bruce, Four Scenes, and Paul Taylor's Airs. On reflection, it wasn't that festive a program: it didn't go all out to wow the audience, but it was a solid representation of Rambert's repertoire and direction. Although the performances were well received, something more exuberant might have fitted the occasion better.
No More Play and Petite Mort have been in Rambert's repertoire for some time now, and the cast had the confidence and poise that comes with familiarity. These are given as companion pieces - some of the costumes of the second piece have begun to invade the first, and the two share phrases and gestures. No More Play is a more sparse, even sombre work: it has a sculptural quality, as if the dancer's poses had been carved or moulded. The supported balances are imaginative and difficult, and were handled with considerable grace. I must mention the lighting in both Kylian works. It is beautifully thought through and executed and the pools of light through which the dancers moved contributed tremendously to the mood. (Nice to know something in the building was working). Although there were only five dancers in this piece, they didn't look lost on the stage, but dominated it. Despite its size (1500 seats, approximately) the theatre remains quite intimate. Cast in this were Didy Veldman, Maria Sardon Urtiaga, Paul Liburd, Jan de Schynkel, Conor O'Brien.
Petite Mort was perhaps lighter in mood: six couples, the men sporting foils which whistled wonderfully through the air. (Good acoustics: this might have been lost in a larger theatre). Lots of sexual overtones, some rather tongue in cheek. The freestanding 'costumes on wheels ' for the women led to outbursts of giggles - I thought they were great fun. The pas de deux were smoothly and unhurriedly executed. A popular piece with the audience.
Christopher Bruce's new work, Four Scenes, is set to Celtic music by D.C. Heath, and uses four couples. Bruce often makes works which merit repeated viewings to grasp all their implications, and this is one: there are complex ideas about time and memory which would repay further observation. The Celtic tones of the music put me initially in mind of Puirt-a-Beul, a recent piece by Tuckett for the Royal Ballet, which will be at Sadler's Wells next week. But that is a light-hearted piece, a young man's ballet with no dark undertones: Bruce's work is the product of an older , more reflective and troubled intelligence. Initially, we see four couples - children - playing. Initially the mood is light-hearted and cheerful, but the games played take on a darker note as the characters imagine their future roles and how life might treat them. I say imagine: I'm not sure if we see children imagining what their lives might be like, or Bruce illustrating a series of different potential paths which might or might not happen. The couples are strongly contrasted: the happy unselfconscious couple diving into bed together: a nasty, troubled relationship with overtones of violence. My favourite was Glenn Wilkinson doggedly trying to impress Dierdre Chapman who was having nothing of it: this was beautifully observed, very funny, and the vagaries of courtship were perfectly expressed through dance. The characters suddenly shift into visions of themselves in old age before finally returning to the status quo as at the opening scene. The dance itself is light and fluid, like the music, incorporating skipping and hopscotch quite unselfconsciously. Vibrant costume and set designs from Es Devlin.
Airs was the joyous closer, rapturously
received by the audience. It provided a
celebratory note, which was perhaps lacking
in the earlier pieces, good though
they were. Lovely music which just cried out
to be danced to. Rambert's
musicians (London Musici) were in good form.
Airs is another old Rambert
favourite, but it's easy to see why they
stage it regularly. It has that characteristic
of good choreography, where the steps seem
so completely obvious and
appropriate and yet a constant surprise at
the same time. Like getting the perfect
surprise birthday present. Fine performances
from the cast who looked as if they
were really enjoying themselves.

Pope Francis Shocks Again: St. Peter's Square Actually "Somewhat Roundish"By
Disclaimer: This is a fake interview. Not real. Fictional. Pretend. Make-believe.
It's happened again. In another explosive interview with an American progressive Catholic publication, Pope Francis dropped yet another bombshell, sending shock waves throughout the media and the global Church.
Let's see what the new Pontiff had to say:
National Catholic Inquirer: Thank you, your Holiness, for sitting down with us for this interview.
Pope Francis: Certainly, it's my pleasure.
NCI: It has been six months since you became Pope. Can you describe for us the feeling you had when you first stepped out on the balcony after your election to the papacy in March?
Pope Francis: Sure. It was quite amazing – a very spiritually intense moment, and very humbling. It was such a joy to see the crowds of people down in St. Peter's Square encircled by the colonnade almost as a child is wrapped in the arms of his mother…"
NCI: Whoa there, hold on. You just said something – "encircled." Don't you mean "squared in?" I believe you were talking about St. Peter's Square after all, were you not?
Pope Francis: Yes, yes I was. Of course, as you know, the colonnade in St. Peter's Square forms a circle, so…"
NCI: So you're saying St. Peter's Square is actually a circle? So it's no longer a square? This is a new teaching of the Church then?
Pope Francis: Um, no. It has been a circle for centuries. The word "square" in this context is the English translation of the Italian piazza, which means a central area in a town or city where the community can gather. Historically this central meeting place was in front of the local church. It doesn't mean "square," in the sense of a parallelogram with four equal sides and 90 degree angles.
NCI: Now it sounds like you're trying to explain away what you just said. Maybe you're putting a conservative spin on what you said? Are you having second thoughts about the new "square circle" dogma?
Pope Francis: What? No! What are you talking about?
NCI: Let's move on. It must take courage to change centuries of Church teaching. What prompted you to abandon the moralistic approach of your predecessors and declare St. Peter's Square a circle?
Pope Francis: But I'm not changing Church teaching! I'm not saying anything new at all!
NCI: But you are. This changes everything.
Pope Francis: No, it changes nothing! Anyone with basic depth perception or even access to Google Maps can tell you that.
NCI: That's just more conservative spin, I think. I clearly heard you say that St. Peter's Square is now a circle.
Pope Francis: Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about. And furthermore, it's not even a circle. It's more of an ellipse or an oval shape.
NCI: That sounds like the type of rigid thinking we thought you were getting away from. Is it round or isn't it?
Pope Francis: It's somewhat roundish, yes.
NCI: Somewhat roundish. This is revolutionary. Groundbreaking.
Pope Francis: Not really, no. What time is it?
NCI: What can we look forward to next? Women's ordination? Church-sanctioned gay marriage? Wait, where are you going?…Your Holiness?

love it!
Thank goodness it is not a square! It would take a lot longer to get from one corner to another … oops.
A "square" is a meeting place. St. Peter's Square has nothing to do with geometrics. It just means a central meeting place.
No matter how much you declare it, no matter how up down and sideways you insist this is parody, someone, somewhere, is going to take this at face value.
For the record, I have wondered why it is St. Peter's SQUARE when it does look more like a circle.
Ha! Hysterical!
Ha! Love it.

Rampage look forward to long getaway
By John Whisler : February 6, 2012 : Updated: February 6, 2012 9:47pm
Photo By Darren Abate/Darren Abate/pressphotointl.com
San Antonio Rampage's Bracken Kearns, right, chases the puck ahead of Lake Erie Monsters goaltender Gerald Coleman, left, and Monsters' Danny Richmond (36) and David Liffiton during the first period of an AHL hockey game, Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, in San Antonio.
In some ways, the rodeo road trip couldn't be coming at a worse time. After tying a franchise record with seven straight victories, the Rampage have lost two in a row.
But instead of a little home cooking, players and coaches seem to feel hitting the road is the best remedy for whatever it is that's ailing them.
"It comes at a good time for us," coach Chuck Weber said.
"A lot of us have been looking forward to this trip since Day 1," added defenseman Colby Robak, in his first season with the Rampage. "Sometimes being on the road helps a team come together."
The Rampage begin an 11-game, 23-day trip today at the home of the Hamilton (Ont.) Bulldogs, the AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, in a special 9 a.m. "School Day" face-off.
After Hamilton, the Rampage take on Toronto, Rochester, Grand Rapids, Texas (twice), Oklahoma City, Peoria (twice), Milwaukee and Chicago.
In all, the Rampage will visit nine cities and cover 7,310 miles during the nearly month-long trek. The trip is divided into three legs, with lengthy breaks between each one. They're 10-8-2-0 on the road this season.
Their first game back at the AT&T Center is March 3 against the Houston Aeros.
During the recent seven-game winning streak, the Rampage scored four or more goals in each of the final four games.
But they were shut out 3-0 in Oklahoma City on Thursday, then came out on the short end of a 3-1 tilt against Lake Erie the next night before a sellout and franchise-record crowd of 16,151.
Against the Monsters, the Rampage threw 41 shots at the net before an inconsequential goal with three seconds left. Weber blamed the losses, in part, on the four-day layoff for the AHL All-Star Classic.
"You don't want to make excuses," he said. "It wasn't a long break, but it was just long enough to lose your edge."
Weber said it was similar to the seven-day break the team had right before Christmas. Like the recent All-Star break, many players flew home. When they returned, the Rampage proceeded to lose three straight.
The best news is, at 24-20-2-0 with 50 standings points, the Rampage are just one point out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with 30 games left.
"We still control our own destiny," Weber said.
Even with the back-to-back setbacks to start February, the Rampage went 9-3 in January, tying a record for the best month in club history.
The annual rodeo trip will be new to most of the players, but not defenseman Sean Sullivan. Reacquired Jan. 26 from the San Jose Sharks organization, Sullivan recalls several rodeo road trips with the Rampage when they were an affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes.
He and teammate Bill Thomas were part of a 7-3-1-3 trip in 2007-08, best in Rampage history.
"I like being on the road," Sullivan said. "All you do is think about hockey. No distractions."
Goalie earns tryout: The team on Monday signed goaltender Rejean Beauchemin to a professional tryout contract.

The Souls franchise is one of the toughest to beat this generation. But that is where the fun and challenge lies. Dark Souls 2 was announced at last year's VGA and it will be every bit as tough as it's predecessors.
Tomohiro Shibuya, co-game director of Dark Souls 2 has revealed that the game is completed 25% till date. According to Edge, the game will be missing the 2013 release window.
When Shibuya was asked whether it will get completed before the advent of next generation consoles, he simply declined to comment.
According to an interview with Edge, Shibuya also confirmed that the team working on Dark Souls II is 'substantially bigger'. He also confirmed that that the development team has almost doubled plus they are adding new team members.
It is interesting to note that despite such a massive team, we have to wait till next year to get our hands on. I personally think that it may land up on next generation consoles, seeing how Shibuya declined to comment on the actual release date.
If this delay means a better product with AAA experience then I am all for it. What do you guys think? Can you wait so long to get your hands on the game? Let us know in the comments section below.
