A panel of economists from three universities held a public meeting on August 14 at the Utah State Capitol about the state's ability to administer large tracts of land it could get from the federal government if a bill the legislature passed two years ago goes into effect. The panel was looking for suggestions on areas they should look into as far as costs go. What they got was mostly the same political rhetoric that has been heard ever since the bill was signed by the governor.
"We are just providing baseline data with this process," said the discussion leader John Harja of the Public Lands Policy Office, who was the discussion leader for about 100 people that attended. "These professionals (referring to the economists) are not making decisions. They are just getting and giving data and modeling it."
But despite that statement, for many in the audience the plea to talk only about costs and financing the state may need to make decisions on land that state may acquire seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Audience polarized
Basically, as has happened many times before on this issue, the audience broke into two groups. One, those who come from rural areas, ranching and farming interests, energy interests, gave comments supporting the idea of the land acquisition. On the other side, environmental groups, anti-development people, human rights groups and others opposed the idea of federal land becoming state land.
The panel consisting of John Dowen and Jan Stambro from the University of Utah, Paul Jakus from Utah State University and Therese Grijalva from Weber State University, mostly listened and took notes. Some questions and comments by the audience were put directly to them, and they did respond about what they were doing, but largely the tangents the audience went off on were just met with silence other than Harja thanking those attending for their comments.
Jakus did point out during the introduction that he and Grijalva were looking to assess four different areas. The University of Utah team is taking one section of the analysis and the USU/Weber team is taking another part.
"We are looking to assess if the land is managed by the state if it will be better for the communities in the state," he said. "We also will be focusing on recreation and tourism, the economic value of the lands and the roles that public lands play in service to the communities they impact."
Stambro pointed out that the group is asking the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service to supply budget information from the lands they are managing for the last 10 years.
"We are asking about their costs of management of these lands, the revenue that is generated from the lands and the kinds of management they have to do," she said.
She pointed out that they will also be looking to impact studies on mineral extraction, oil and gas development and timber operations.
"We will be inventorying these things and then do some modeling," she stated.
Who will do legwork?
One of the things that came out in the meeting was that the panel would be doing little primary research, such as visiting communities and talking with people. It appears instead that they will count on the communities, counties and agencies to provide data.
The discussion with the audience, while filled with a lot of political points of view, did however generate some points for the panel to consider.
"I think that while the national parks are not included in this movement to take back land from the federal government, their data should be taken into account," stated one audience member. "That would be an incredibly rich database for use."
Another person attending said that he thought the panel does have a lot of information to go on because of what has happened in the country before.
"Some say we don't have studies on this," said Robert Comstock, a private citizen that attended. "But this kind of thing happened in the eastern states a long time ago. We have a 200-year-old study."
Another, Brandon Barker, asked if there was another state in the west that a model could be used from since some states like Hawaii and Nebraska had this situation in more recent times.
Many audience members brought up the point that often in projects like this all that is measured is the direct dollars that come as revenue or are expended. Some asked that there is a lot of value to public lands that can't necessarily be measured in money. They also pointed out that often land is used by people but they pay no fees for that use, yet they spend dollars in the local economies. Some suggested that one cannot put a monetary value on the lands.
Local representation
There were plenty of officials from various county and state agencies at the meeting as well. Carbon County was represented officially by County Commissioner Casey Hopes and the Director of Zoning and Land Use, Dave Levanger. Included in the audience were also commissioners from Daggett, Uintah and Duchesne counties as well, among others.
Another issue that came up was what Utah might have to pay the federal government if they did get the lands for the improvements they have done over the years. Pat Shea, who ran for governor in 1992 and was the BLM director during the Clinton years, stated that other states had invested money over the years in the land in Utah. He also questioned whether the federal agencies that the panel was requesting information from could even put that information together.
Agriculture helps
Randy Parker of the Farm Bureau pointed out that some of the improvements on public lands were done by private enterprise, particularly the farmers and ranchers.
"A lot of the water development, as high as 80 percent of it, has come from farmers and ranchers," he said. "It's true that what they have done benefit their cattle and sheep, but that water development also benefits many other species, including endangered species."
The panel said it would also be looking at what brings people to Utah to live. This came up after a man who moved to the state recently said he was here because of the public open land, and another woman who had been here a long time said she came to Utah originally for that as well. Parker addressed that too.
"We know some people move here for the beauty, but we also have to ask how many come here to get a job?" he asked.
Jakus said that looking at that situation is part of what they will be doing as well.
Other ideas that were brought up included what kind of economic situation will the state be in if the land is given to Utah and when all the federal workers who are presently working in those agencies loose their jobs. Another was that the that the panel should look at what climate change might do to lands and understand that could change the way lands are used. Another was that they ought to consider the economic impact that recreation (including fishing and hunting) has on the lands.
One of the final points that was made concerned what the state might face if they did get the lands.
"How would the lands be transferred?" asked Bill Howell, the former director of the Southeastern Utah League of Governments. "Would the federal guidelines be transferred as well? The baseline should be an allodial transfer. What is the state going to assume?" [Allodial means free of restrictions. Ed.]
The panel said they will have the report ready sometime in 2014.

POTSDAM - Madrid-Waddington coach Aaron Jones pointed to all 13 players on his team after his Yellowjackets claimed their second straight Section 10 Class D Boys Basketball Championship on Saturday at SUNY Potsdams Maxcy Hall. Emplying suffocating and larcenous on-the-ball defense to dominate the second half the sixth seeded Jackets forged a 52-41 win over top seeded St. Regis Falls.
It was the Jackets third straight win over an NAC Division champion.
You should see this team in practice, said Jones after 16-6 team retraced its steps to the beginning of last years trip to the New York State Class D Championship game against Sackets Harbor.
Our bench really pushes our starters everyday in practice to be better. If it wasnt for them these accomplishments, like a Class D Championship cant happen. Today, we were very active defensively. Caleb Green had a heck of a game for Coach Justin Todd and he had a tremendous season as did his team. He worked for everyone of those 26 points today and truthfully I thought we did a great job against him.
Richard Wright sparked the No. 6 seeded Jackets to take a 17-11 lead with 3:30 remaining in the second quarter but the Saints (18-2) rallied back within two at halftime 19-17.
The Jackets opened to a 26-17 lead with a 7-0 run to start the third keyed by five points from Greg Thompson and three quick steals. The Jackets ended the third quarter with a another 7-0 run for a 34-21 lead keyed by Colin OBryans three-point play with 2:15 to play.
Later in the fourth quarter, Brandon Votra cut the deficit to 36-27 but Thompson hit one of two free throws and Maurice Rease stole the ball at midcourt and scored for a 39-27 lead. Richard Wright followed with a three, Rease scored again and Colin OBryan tipped home his own miss on a drive for a 46-30 lead.
Colin OBryan got us started early, Zach Brock came up big in the second quarter off the bench and Greg Thompson just had a great game all around and helped us in the third with some big points. It was just a great team effort, noted Jones who also complimented the defensive play of Jacob Barney and Zach Brock.
Thompson finished with 17 points and five rebounds and Wright used a 6-8 free throw shooting in the fourth quarter to cap a 13-point, four-assist, three rebound, two-steal effort.
While directing the offense against a tenacious St. Regis defense, OBryan delivered 11 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals. Rease added eight points, three steals and two assists. Brock chipped in five points and five rebounds while Terry Crump posted three boards and two assists.
We had a shaky start but we never stopped working hard. Once we got on a roll at the end of the season we worked even harder, said OBryan.
Our defense was great today, everyone stayed with their man.
Green scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed five rebounds for St. Regis. Brandon Votra added seven points and grabbed seven rebounds
This one is a tough one to swallow. Madrid-Waddington has been here before and that played a big factor in the outcome. They were active defensively and boarded well. But we had a tremendous season something that put St. Regis Falls back on the map, said St. Regis Coach Justin Todd after his NAC East Co-Champion Saints finished at 19-2.
Caleb Green had a great game and Im very proud of this team and what we done.
M-Ws season goes as the Jackets face Class A Champion Massena in the overall Section 10 semi-finals on Wednesday at 7:15 p.m.

Hola (that's Wren's favorite word these days)!
I probably should be resting but I am both bored, hungry and tired so here I am, blogging. If there was ever a place that hampers my creativity and spirits it's a hospital bed which is sadly where I am laying right now. Looks like my appendix is being tres unfriendly and will be removed later this afternoon so send me all your brave thoughts because I will confess that I am more than a trifle scared. I have a fun holiday post already lined up for tomorrow and hopefully I will be home for the weekend but I will try and say Hi before then.
Adios Amigos!

I may be slowly turning into Officer McGruff. Tell me if I overreacted in any of these San Diego incidents:
-I am driving on the freeway. Normal I-15 traffic, cars are moving at 55 mph. I look over two lanes to the right and a kid in a hoodie is texting while he drives. He is not even looking up. No joke, my heart starts beating practically out of my uniform. I honk at him, he glances over. I point at him with two fingers and then I point at my eyes and then back at him. He does some weird hand gesture. Not that gesture. But something. He does put his phone down. I slow and follow him from a hundred feet for five miles or so. He finally gets off the freeway.
-Right down my street, two professional-looking cyclists are riding side-by-side on a road with very little shoulder. (They are lawyers or accountants or doctors, professionals. Not professional cyclists, surely. They do have all the latest gear though.) They are also chatting away, without a care in the world. I roll down my window and tell them to get single-file. They flick me off and go about their business as before. Then I see this happen in other places two more times in quick succession. Cyclists riding side-by-side.
-Just driving home today, two totally rad skaters (well, not rad at all) are skateboarding in the opposing lane against traffic. I honk as I go by and make the pushing motion. As in: get the freak over there, idiots. One of the skaters, who is wearing a ski cap in 78 degree weather, thinks I am waving and waves back. I shush him over. Maybe he gets it, maybe not.
Am I being nosy? I've had accidents on the road and don't want to see others go through that mess. Do I need to mind my own business? Has this occurred in the past and I've been too nonchalant too see it? (This I doubt. I am non many things, but chalant is not one of them.) Am I becoming a curmudgeon?

|ASU Has Its First Signee
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 02 February 2011 14:33
The Appalachian State University football team has its first signee on National Signing Day---runnning back/defensive back/return man Darius Smith from South Lakes High School in Reston, Va.Smith, who stands five-foot-11, is an outstanding athlete. He played running back, wing back and defensive back for the Seahawks last fall. He also returned three punts for touchdowns.
Quarterback Kameron Bryant of Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC, verbally committed to Appalachian State on Saturday. He is expected to make it official today by signing his national letter. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Bryant threw for more than 2,400 yards this season and ran for more than 400 yards in 15 games.
He led Panther Creek to a 4-AA Eastern Regional Final appearance, and to the Tri-Nine Conference championship. He was also considering offers from Elon, , N.C. Central, Norfolk State and Western Carolina.

Thank you for taking the time to review my question. I have a 7 year old Female American Pitbull Terrier. She has an open wound right near her anus. Its not on the anus itself, but its within an inch of it. I have also noticed that there is much swelling in the area, and even on the underside of the tail itself where it would cover the anus, and come into contact with the anus. The underside of the tail looks to be a something like a poison ive (referring to the style of the bumps and swelling there) Every swollen area is red (on the area around the anus, and the tail). I have put bacitracin on the open wound to help close it and to keep it clean. It appeared to help, but I stopped when I noticed the other area. I can send a picture of the affected area if necessary. Please help. My poor riley is in pain. The area is very tender. I can tell it is very painful when touched. Otherwise she runs and plays as normal. Oh, and she also has been rubbing her hindquarters on the ground. What could this be?
Thank you very much

Dismayed by our post earlier this week on why
the Rangers could be worse next year? Then you'll like this one.
Here are six reasons the Rangers could be (much) better in
Youngsters have just scratched the surface - The list of baby Blueshirts that played huge
roles in 2010-2011 is lengthy and the good news for New York is that many
have significant room for growth. Derek Stepan scored 45 points as a rookie but is capable of far more,
while Mike Sauer and Ryan McDonagh could give the Rangers a top-notch second
defensive pair. Artem Anisimov, Mats
Zuccarello, Brian Boyle and Brandon Prust could all build on successful
campaigns and the Rangers can still get more from their still young leadership
tandem of Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky.
Improved offense - Brad
Richards should dramatically improve the Rangers offense, but there are several
other reasons to believe the unit could post far better numbers. Two puck-moving defensemen, Tim Erixon and
Michael Del Zotto, could make the opening night roster and really help New
York's transition game, the power play should be much better, the
aforementioned young forwards have room for improvement and Marian Gaborik should
be in line for a big bounce-back season.
Chemistry - The
signings of Richards and Mike
Rupp were significant, but this summer featured a much smaller roster
overhaul than we've seen in recent years. Both players should fit in relatively seamlessly and Richards already
knows what Coach John Tortorella expects of his players. The rest of the Blueshirts have a good amount
of on-ice experience together now and many have come up through the Rangers'
system, meaning this group could become a well-oiled machine in short order.
Marty Biron – The talkative backup netminder was a godsend
for the Rangers in the first half last season and although Henrik Lundqvist
seemed fine with making 31 consecutive starts to close out the year, New York
would have been much better off had Biron stayed healthy. As Lundqvist begins to age, his need
for a lighter workload continues to grow and Biron showed that he's very
capable of handling the pressure of New York. In year two of this tandem look for an even greater split and watch it
pay off down the stretch and into the playoffs.
Removal of dead weight - Veterans Chris
Drury, Alex
Frolov, Bryan
McCabe and Vinny
Prospal all had lots of NHL success, but with the possible exception of
Prospal, the departed Rangers had little left in the tank. Many of them came with hefty salaries that
they were unable to live up to on the ice and that created holes in the
Rangers' lineup. Sean
Avery, Erik Christensen and Wojtek Wolski are still not ideal fits, but
their collective salaries are a fraction of the dead weight the Rangers carried
for most of last year. The vacated spots
have been filled with hungry young players that should energize the team and
help build toward the future.
A better power play – Richards has been among the premier
power play quarterbacks for most of his career and he alone should provide a
big boost to the Rangers' woeful pp unit. Add in Erixon and/or Del Zotto, both of whom have big offensive upside,
and suddenly the Rangers will have competent point men. That will allow forward Derek Stepan to slide
into his natural position along the left wing wall, while Ryan Callahan will be
able to clean up in front. And of
course, a more balanced unit with better puck distributors will benefit Marian
Gaborik, who should be in much better position to get open shots this year.

PAWTUCKET — With a theme of economic optimism for the year ahead, The Pawtucket Foundation hosted over 100 business and elected leaders at its 12th Annual Meeting at the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center Tuesday evening.
Additionally, the Foundation announced that its new executive director would be Aaron M. Hertzberg, who has served in the position for the past three months in an interim capacity. Hired in 2008, Hertzberg previously worked as the organization's program director. He succeeds Thomas Mann, who resigned to take a new job opportunity.
Pawtucket Foundation Co-Chairmen Daniel J. Sullivan and Kevin P. Tracy welcomed the crowd, which included J.R. Pagliarini, chief of staff at the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, representing Governor Lincoln Chafee; and Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien. Pagliarini expressed strong support from his office for local economic development activities, and Grebien thanked the Foundation for its continued partnership and
spoke about several ongoing revitalization efforts shaping the city.
Tracy said the Foundation chose Hertzberg as its new executive director after conducting a "productive search" which covered several states. He said it was "clear that Aaron distinguished himself as the most qualified candidate due to his passion and understanding of the new journey we are about to take with the city of Pawtucket."
In his address to the attendees, Hertzberg thanked Mann for his "mentorship and leadership" during his time with the organization and said he will continue to implement the Foundation's "enVision Pawtucket" Strategic Plan that the former executive director helped to formulate.
Hertzberg noted that the plan called for $320,000 in programming investments over three years. He said that with the plan at its midway point, the organization has already exceeded that commitment and "continues to seek opportunities to catalyze investments in the community."
Hertzberg reviewed The Pawtucket Foundation's accomplishments during 2012, which included spearheading a comprehensive Riverfront Corridor Initiative to stimulate revitalization and economic activity along the Pawtucket/Central Falls riverfront; and leading a $50,000 streetscape improvement project for Main Street that included new banners, bicycle racks, trash cans and decorative planters.
Additionally, Hertzberg noted that the Foundation had partnered with Pawtucket-based Embolden to design a new "Experience Pawtucket" website that promotes the city as a place to live, work and visit, and hosted several events, including drawing over 400 guests to its Annual Awards Celebration.
Hertzberg said that among the Foundation's projects slated for 2013 is an initiative working with the city of Pawtucket to review existing economic development partnerships and outline ways to best utilize available resources.

CLAYTON — Paul "Preston" Zerwas vanished without a trace on Lake Ontario on a foggy summer night in 1973 — leaving his family and friends speculating for decades what had happened to the Clayton businessman and the boat he set out to deliver to Oswego.
Forty years later, a pair of shipwreck explorers has uncovered crucial evidence — the 32-foot houseboat Mr. Zerwas was operating when he disappeared — that sheds new light on the unsolved mystery.
Diving partners Daniel J. Scoville, a project manager and electrical engineer for Oceaneering International in Houston, and Christopher Koberstein, an aviation maintenance technician with Air Canada who lives outside Montreal, said they were sonar-scanning the lake's bottom last summer searching for a 1900s-era ship when they picked up a much smaller target of roughly 30 feet.
"It was certainly not what we were looking for," Mr. Scoville said of the wreck discovered at the lake's bottom several miles north of Oswego. "And I honestly didn't expect it to be all that interesting. It was just a houseboat, after all. But for me, if I find something, I want to know how it got there."
Mr. Scoville and Mr. Koberstein declined to provide the wreck's location out of fear the site would be disturbed before further investigation can be conducted.
A closer look at the wreck using Mr. Scoville's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) revealed a Florida registration number — FL 7632 AR — still intact under the thick layer of quagga mussels, and a registration sticker that had expired June 30, 1972.
"The boat didn't have a name, or we couldn't see it," Mr. Scoville said.
New clues
Unable to obtain any information from the U.S. Coast Guard and state of Florida archives using the registration number, Mr. Scoville said, he turned to old newspaper articles.
At long last, he found a matching description of a houseboat — 32 feet long, white with a blue stripe — that went missing along with the president of the George W. Mercier Shipyard in Clayton, who was making a delivery for a co-worker.
According to Watertown Daily Times articles, Mr. Zerwas, 32, was last seen at Anchor Marina in Cape Vincent on Friday, Sept. 14, 1973, where he was told to stay and leave the next morning instead of venturing out at night through the fog and haze.
Mr. Zerwas had agreed to make the 70-mile voyage from Clayton to Oswego and bring back a trade-in boat on behalf of Robert LaShomb, a longtime employee of George W. Mercier Inc. who was leaving the company that day to start his own business.
The Sea Rover houseboat had been repaired at the Clayton shipyard and needed to be delivered to a customer, Miles Perkins of Oswego, by the next day.
After Mr. Zerwas was reported missing the next day, the Coast Guard searched the lake for seven days to no avail and Mr. Zerwas was presumed dead.
A memorial Mass was held Sept. 22, 1973, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Clayton.
Preston's boat
With these new clues and help from river residents who remembered the Zerwases, Mr. Scoville was able to contact Mr. Zerwas's widow in Illinois and confirm the registration number with the family, which had kept the Coast Guard investigation report all these years.
Mr. Zerwas's eldest son, Philip M., who was only 5 years old at the time, said while he never really thought his father might be living another life somewhere else, the discovery of the houseboat brings closure for the Zerwas family.
"We had suspected high waves had crashed through a window and knocked him out or perhaps knocked him down and he couldn't manage to escape in time," he said. "We're incredibly grateful for Dan and Chris for making this discovery."
Pictures taken with Mr. Scoville's ROV pretty much confirm the family's speculations. The houseboat's front window in the pilot house had been smashed, and Mr. Scoville said he had seen a video of a similar houseboat going under in just 20 seconds.
In her own written recollection of the events surrounding the mystery disappearance of her late husband, Minerva "Minnie" Carol Zerwas said Preston Zerwas probably insisted on finishing his journey to Oswego because Lake Ontario's condition was reported to be good and he had made the trip before.
Mr. Zerwas had even considered letting one of his three sons tag along, and Mrs. Zerwas left a jar of fresh tuna salad in the refrigerator so her husband could have sandwiches when he returned.
Preston Zerwas
Philip Zerwas, Kansas City, Mo., remembers his father as "a family man that cared deeply for all people that depended on him, both at work and at home."
"My father, Preston, started traveling from Illinois to Clayton in 1956 to work for his uncle every summer during high school and college, until the time he joined the U.S. Navy the fall of 1962," Philip wrote in an email message to the Times. "In fact, Preston actually worked in Clayton during several of his R&R leaves while in the Navy."
Preston Zerwas moved to Clayton from Godfrey, Ill., in the spring of 1970 immediately after the funeral of his uncle Gene Springman — who had been president of both the George W. Mercier Marina and the American Boat Lines tour boat of Clayton at the time of his death — to take over operations of the businesses.
"At the time of his disappearance, Preston was building a real estate business, Mercier Realty, in addition to managing the marina and boat lines," Philip said.
The last remaining question is whether Mr. Zerwas's body will be found inside the boat. Mr. Scoville and Mr. Koberstein said they will respect the family's wishes and do not plan on rummaging inside without the Zerwases' consent.
Philip Zerwas said the family has not decided but is generally in favor of the idea.

The GNU extension language
About Guile
What is Guile? What can it do for you?
Guile is the GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions, the official extension language for the GNU operating system.
Guile is a library designed to help programmers create flexible applications. Using Guile in an application allows the application's functionality to be extended by users or other programmers with plug-ins, modules, or scripts. Guile provides what might be described as "practical software freedom," making it possible for users to customize an application to meet their needs without digging into the application's internals.
There is a long list of proven applications that employ extension languages. Successful and long-lived examples of Free Software projects that use Guile are TeXmacs, LilyPond, and GnuCash.
Guile is a programming language
Guile is an interpreter and compiler for the Scheme programming language, a clean and elegant dialect of Lisp. Guile is up to date with recent Scheme standards, supporting the Revised5 and most of the Revised6 language reports (including hygienic macros), as well as many SRFIs. It also comes with a library of modules that offer additional features, like an HTTP server and client, XML parsing, and object-oriented programming.
Guile is an extension language platform
Guile is an efficient virtual machine that executes a portable instruction set generated by its optimizing compiler, and integrates very easily with C and C++ application code. In addition to Scheme, Guile includes compiler front-ends for ECMAScript and Emacs Lisp (support for Lua is underway), which means your application can be extended in the language (or languages) most appropriate for your user base. And Guile's tools for parsing and compiling are exposed as part of its standard module set, so support for additional languages can be added without writing a single line of C.
Guile gives your programs more power
Using Guile with your program makes it more usable. Users don't need to learn the plumbing of your application to customize it; they just need to understand Guile, and the access you've provided. They can easily trade and share features by downloading and creating scripts, instead of trading complex patches and recompiling their applications. They don't need to coordinate with you or anyone else. Using Guile, your application has a full-featured scripting language right from the beginning, so you can focus on the novel and attention-getting parts of your application.
How do I get Guile?
See the Download page for additional ways of getting Guile.

An advanced course for conductors in the development of effective technical, musical, and psychological skills, including planning (choice of literature, aesthetic and practical considerations, allotment of rehearsal time); musical preparation (development of interpretation, choice of tempi, stylistic factors, identifying difficult or tricky passages, editing parts for bowing and breathing); rehearsal (pacing, including alternating woodshedding with play-through; balancing dynamics; using effective gestures with the baton, face, left hand, and body; giving effective verbal instructions; intonation; listening and prioritizing; stopping and starting; knowing when to be satisfied); and human factors (mutual respect and honesty, shared responsibility, ensemble esprit de corps, and psychological momentum).
Supervised preparation and performance of an approved conducting project. Projects may originate with recitalists or from various departments such as Film Scoring, Contemporary Writing and Production, and Music Production and Engineering. The student will conduct at least one project from the following categories: studio recording, recital or live concert requiring a conductor, or preparing and conducting a work with an ensemble.
This is a hands-on, lab-style course, focused on skills particular and unique to theater conducting. Each student will choose a different musical from a list of possibilities and during the course of the semester will prepare, analyze and conduct parts of it. Additionally, all students will conduct each other. Students will also sing, play, and read dialogue for each other in order to simulate specific, relevant theater conducting situations.
This is a lecture/discussion class, which begins with a brief history of the modern American musical and basic definitions of theater terminology. Topics discussed will cover the period from the 1920s through the present, following the development of the musical from its song-and-sketch and European operetta roots to the modern integrated music drama. The body of the course follows the journey of a show from its inception through to closing night. Each participant will choose a songwriter or songwriting team as a subject for an in-depth presentation for the rest of the class. Basic theater terminology will also be taught and students will be tested on history and theater craft.
This is a course designed to benefit both conducting students and vocalists who wish to hone their theater skills. Conducting students will observe the instructor coaching singers in theatrical material, both in performance and audition settings, eventually taking over the coaching under the instructor's supervision. The format is much like a master class. Each vocalist will have his/her moment to perform each week. Text and character analysis; choosing and fully realizing the dramatic action of the material; and determining the appropriate vocal style, correct key, and song's routine is discussed in each case. Emphasis is on the dramatic elements of the material as a basis for musical decisions, and how musical and theatrical aesthetics inform each other. Basic elements of song structure will also be addressed for the benefit of both singers and coaches. Vocalists may rehearse off-hours with conducting student/accompanists if they wish, but part of the training involves singing with pianists they have not rehearsed with to in order to improve communication skills with accompanists and simulate actual audition conditions.
Presentation and discussion on the topics of what it takes to succeed as a professional conductor in the 21st century. Several topics will be presented throughout the semester, including how to run a recording session, the business aspect of being a conductor, interpersonal responsibilities, management, and planning. Conducting remains one of the music's elusive professions: why do some succeed while others fail? Following Richard Strauss, we spend our whole lives trying to become better conductors, only to find out at the end of our lives how much more we have to learn. In addition, the financial and managerial aspects of our organizations and of our own careers ought never to be too far from our minds: for in them we occupy the dual roles of senior manager and principal artist.
This course instructs students in the fundamental principles of free counterpoint (i.e., composition with melodic lines) with an emphasis on two-part writing. Through the utilization of a three-pronged focus on principles, literature, and experiential practice, students complete exercises and projects involving composition and performance within the common-practice period with additional attention to and experience in contemporary tonal practice.
Free counterpoint within a functional tonal context. Emphasis on two-voice writing, binary, and melodic phrase forms.
Continuation of CP-211. A thorough study of canon and two-part invention through analysis and composition within a functional tonal language.
A thorough study of the Two and Three-Part Inventions of J.S. Bach through analysis and composition within a functional tonal language. There will be two projects, a two-part invention and a three-part invention in the style of Bach.
Analysis and writing of three- and four-voice imitative counterpoint based on traditional models. Models include fugue, chorale prelude, and passacaglia or chaconne.
The course is based on the examination of different realms of 20th-century counterpoint through the detailed analysis of contrapuntal styles and techniques of leading innovative composers such as Ravel, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Hindemith, Bartók, Messiaen, Honegger, Barber, and composers of the New Viennese School. More recent stages in the evolution of counterpoint will be studied in examples by Ligeti, Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Schnittke, and Gubaidulina, as well as contemporary American composers (including Berklee composers).

Comments about Audio-Technica ATW-T210a 2000 Series UniPak Bodypack Transmitter:
I have used a pair of these for at least 750 gigs and they have performed flawlessly. I did replace one because the brass clips that hold the input connector wore out and it kept coming loose. But again this was after many hundreds of gigs.
I use one for my headset mic and one for my guitar.
I suspect it slightly colors the sound of my guitar, but would you believe, in a good way. It warms up the sound of my acoustic guitar and removes some of the digital "brittleness".
Battery life with two AA batts is good and I can easily get two 3-4 hour gigs.
It also supplies reference power to condensor mics like my Crown CM-311
My is road worn with a bent antenna and I lost the belt clip for one but it keeps on keepin' on.

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
First, the 1/2" Key-Locking Hitch Pin is for 1-1/4" Class I/II Hitch Receivers. Backcountry does not list the 5/8" pin for 2" Class III/IV receivers i.e. the Kuat rack I purchased. Even if they did, this pin has a removable plastic lock cover, which is not attached and can be easily lost.

I just purchased a Thule Vertex 9031 4-bike...
I just purchased a Thule Vertex 9031 4-bike hitch rack and don't want to pay the $$ to purchase their proprietary locking hitch pin. One side of the rack (that fits into the 2" receiver) has a 3/8" diameter hole and the other side has a 5/8" diameter hole. Would the 3/8" locking pin work without much slop and pin exposure (so it wouldn't be easily cut)?
Chris D.
Most 2" receivers (Class III/IV) have a 5/8" locking pin hole. I suggest the solution may be to drill out the 3/8" hole to the same size as the 5/8" hole. Note: the 5/8" hole is oversize to allow a true 5/8" diameter pin to slide through.

In high school basketball action Tuesday night in the Northeast A League, the Colville High girls remained one game behind unbeaten Freeman after recording a 45-42 road win at Lakeside (10-8, 5-3).
The teams battled on mostly even terms until Colville regained the lead for good in the game's final four-minutes. Senior post Ashley Knight made two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Indians their final lead. A desperation three-point attempt by Lakeside was off the mark and Colville (13-5, 7-1) had escaped.
Tasha Luu led Colville with 14 points. Erin Little added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Elsewhere around the NEA, top-ranked Freeman (18-0, 8-0) won its 41st straight game with a 62-29 dismantling of Riverside (6-12, 1-7) at Rockford.
Alyssa Maine led Freeman with 15 points.
Newport (12-6, 3-5) got off to a fast start and overwhelmed Chewelah (2-16, 0-8) 58-35 in Pend Oreille County on Tuesday night.
Taylor Lewis led a balanced NHS attack with 14 points.
Colville will host two-time defending state champion Freeman on Friday night. An upset would thrust Colville into a tie for first place with the Scotties. Game time is 5:45 p.m.
Colville will close out the regular season Saturday when Chewelah visits.
In boy's action, the three-way tie for first between Freeman, Colville and Chewelah was broken up when Newport (10-8, 4-4) upset Chewelah, 57-52 behind Jake Wiley's 24 points.
Chewelah fell to 13-5, 5-3.
Chewelah was led in scoring by Derek Smith and Caleb Wiebe with 12 points apiece.
Newport won the game in the fourth quarter with a 21-11 run.
Colville (11-7, 6-2) remained in a first place tie with Freeman after digging out a 55-45 win at Nine Mile Falls against Lakeside (8-10, 3-5).
Matt Hubbard led Colville with 19 points and 14 rebounds. J.R. Henry added 17 more for the Indians, who will host Freeman on Friday night in a battle for first place in the NEA.
Colville will close out the regular season on Saturday night when they entertain Chewelah.
Game time Friday night is 7:30 p.m. Saturday's game will start at about 6 p.m.
Freeman kept pace atop the NEA boy's standings by blowing open a competitive game in the third quarter against Riverside with a 24-9 run on the way to a 70-47 win at home.
Derek Harter led Freeman with 24 points.

Thank you very much for this guide ^^
US player, signed up for the aeria games beta but I have the worst luck getting into beta. Playing just fine on the JP server now, gives me a chance to practice my japanese anyway
Oh, by the way, can anyone answer a quick question for me? The fate system, I've figured out that random people give me a pink line to them and have an option when I right click to "Make lover". This is decided by birthday/zodiac sign? Does anyone have any idea how the compatability works? My poor boyfriend has been re-rolling for an hour now trying to get it.

Let us start off by saying there is a method to our D.I.Y. madness! Sure, making a mini skirt in the dead of winter might seem like an odd assignment, but let's not forget you can wear this piece layered over tights or even leather leggings for a cool downtown look. Plus, this isn't your average mini! Inspired by Charles Anastase's schoolgirl dresses ornamented with 3D, shingle-like panels, this skirt adds just the right amount of texture to your cold-weather ensembles, which, as you've probably noticed by now, can get a bit dreary this time of year. Even better, this skirt is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that transitions well into spring too. Just one more reason to get in touch with your artistic side and start breaking out those craft tools today!
Since your Who What Wear editors have never claimed to be expert crafters, we reached out to our D.I.Y. guru, Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This, to help guide the way and show us how to make our very own Charles Anastase-inspired skirt. As expected, the process was not only fun, but a cinch too, resulting in a fantastic showpiece fit for a modern fashion girl! Without further adieu, we bring you this month's Do It Yourself story.-Jessica Baker
-Sparkle & Fade Micro Mini Skirt ($20)
- 1 yard Craft Felt Fabric ($4.85/yard) for each color (Olive Green, Cocoa Brown, Dark Gray, and Antique White)
-Collins Unique Stitch Fabric Glue ($5)
-Beadsmith Leather Hole Punch ($14)
1. Pick out three to four different colors of felt material in a family of tones that complement and accent one another. For this project, we used Olive Green, Cocoa Brown, Dark Gray, and Antique White.
2. Using the fabric scissors, cut rectangles from the felt in a range of different sizes. The amount of pieces you cut out will vary depending on the size of the skirt. Our rectangles varied from 3 inches to 6 inches. (Note: you can also get creative and cut shapes with scalloped edges, which will add more dimension and movement to the skirt.)
3. Use a fabric hole punch to create extra detail in each felt piece.
4. Once you have cut out all of the felt rectangles, place them on your skirt in a haphazard pattern to your liking. Start at the bottom of the skirt along the hemline, overlapping as you move up the skirt, making sure to completely cover the front. You'll want to create your complete pattern before starting to glue.
5. After you're satisfied with the placement, glue felt pieces directly onto the skirt using fabric glue. Hold each piece in place for a few seconds to secure. Let skirt dry completely on flat surface for approximately an hour before wearing.

Darko Rajakovic remembers the exact date that his life changed forever.
Aug. 2, 1996.
"I celebrate that day every year, actually," he said.
Darko Rajakovic remembers the exact date that his life changed forever.
Aug. 2, 1996.
"I celebrate that day every year, actually," he said.
That was the day he started coaching basketball as a 16-year-old in Serbia, the day he began a journey that led him to Oklahoma and made him the newest face of the growth of the NBA.
Rajakovic is the new coach of the Tulsa 66ers, the Thunder's Development League team, and the first head coach in league history born outside of North America.
At a time when signs of the globalization of the NBA are everywhere — exhibition games in China and top players from Argentina, the Congo, Spain and everywhere in between — Rajakovic is part of the next international wave. To this point, the NBA has only imported players and fans from overseas.
Coaches are next.
"I never thought that I would be the first European-born coach in the D-League," said Rajakovic, whose name is pronounced Rahj-a-KOE-vich. "To be honest, right now, I don't have time to think about it."
It's been less than a month since his hiring, but already, he's observed D-League draft preparations, overseen preseason camp and coached exhibition games.
His team opens the regular season Friday.
Rajakovic is now in a league that the NBA uses to develop players and coaches. In the 11-year history of the league, 23 coaches have gone on to join the NBA coaching ranks. Sixteen are current NBA assistants, including the 66ers' last two head coaches, Dale Osbourne (Portland) and Nate Tibbetts (Cleveland).
Is Rajakovic next?
"I don't think a lot about the future," the 33-year-old said. "I cannot control the future."
He knows that better than most.
* * *
Darko Rajakovic started playing basketball in his hometown of Cacak when he was 10. That was a golden age for basketball in his homeland. The national team won back-to-back European Championships in 1989 and 1990 and the FIBA World Championship in 1990.
It's no wonder. Those teams featured the likes of Vlade Divac, Drazen Petrovic and Toni Kukoc.
But it was Aleksandar Dordevic who captured Rajakovic's imagination. Dordevic was a point guard who would play briefly for the Portland Trailblazers in 1996, but he was better known in Europe for his clutch shooting.
Searching YouTube for his full-court-dash, off-balance, buzzer-beating three in the 1992 Euroleague final is well worth the time.
Rajakovic would wake up at 5 a.m. and practice, then go to school, then practice again, then play pickup, then practice some more. He was driven by the dream of being just like Dordevic — a top-level point guard.
But when Rajakovic was 16 years old, he had a realization — all of his shooting and dribbling and sweating wouldn't be enough.
He was too short.
Big point guards were the trend in Europe, guys like 6-foot-7 Marko Jaric, a Serbian who played eight seasons in the NBA.
"I realized I would not be a top-level player and ... I didn't want to be just an average player," Rajakovic said. "I wanted to be a top player. When I realized I would not be able to fulfill my dream, I decided to quit playing.
"But I could not live without basketball."
It wasn't just the game he loved.
It was the escape.
* * *
As a child, Darko Rajakovic rarely knew a world without war.
Ethnic tensions between Serbs, Croats, Slovenians and Albanians, long a problem in what was then Yugoslavia, often heated up. Sometimes, they boiled over.
When Rajakovic was 12, there was war in Slovenia and Croatia.
When he was 17, there was war in Kosovo.
When he was 20, there were NATO bombings of his homeland.
