This piece was created by Cincinnati artist Andrew Van Sickle: 'My treatment of world-renowned Music Hall not only recaptures the pageantry of its 1878 opening, but reflects the energy, vision and work of Cincinnati's current civic and arts leadership as it is revitalizing historic Music Hall and Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine.'
- Filed Under
We asked you for your memories and thoughts about Cincinnati's Music Hall, and the 134-year-old eccentric architectural landmark inspired many. Here are a few:
May Festival, Janis, family and friends
My important memories of Music Hall include decades of images:
My class from St. Mary's grade school riding the bus down to see Thor Johnson conduct in 1952; the elegant harpist Anna Bukay, who set the tone forever for my understanding of the word "classy"; my first convertible ride and visit to Frisch's as an "upperclassman" took a group of us from Walnut Hills High School to rehearsals for the May Festival; that same May Festival in 1956, when my nine-months-pregnant mother heard us sing "Go Down, Moses" and went into labor.
One of my earliest dates with Jim Powers - to see Glenn Gould in 1962 - and the vision of him humming and swaying as he played; my first and only rock concert - to hear Janis Joplin sing there, in about 1968 and the intimation that life was changing forever; taking our daughter Anne to the first "Nutcracker" in 1974 and seeing all the little girls decked out in velvet dresses; meeting my future brother-in-law Barry Green there in 1984 after he had just played a concert as first bassist.
On July 17, my father, David Perry Tarbell, would have been 100 years old. He died at the age of 45, just a year after my brother Tom was born on the night of that May Festival concert in 1956. Eight years earlier, I'd had probably my most memorable experience with my dad. One Saturday night, I was his "date" to the symphony. I wore a sweet navy blue taffeta dress with pink roses on the collar and we sat in the orchestra, on the right, about 20 rows back. I cannot write this without weeping with gratitude for the wonderful evening a little girl had alone with her daddy, with fullness for the life I have lived in this town and at that wonderful place, with deep grief for the loss our family still feels after all these years.
But every time I walk into Music Hall, all those fabulous memories come flooding back, and I am once again a special little girl wearing a beautiful dress, surrounded by excitement and glorious sounds, with the promise of a beautiful life ahead.

Family ties to a city landmark
I am very concerned about the prospect of the sale of Music Hall. That historical building represents the people of the city. Anyone from Cincinnati knows a friend or relative who has performed or attended a function in that great hall. My great-grandfather was the night watchman. My grandparents sang on the stage while attending Sands Elementary. My mother danced as part of the operas, graduated from Hughes High School and had a prom there. My own children sang in choirs on that very stage. I would think that if a private individual or group were able to purchase that, they would expect to make money. This is a city landmark and the city has maintained this grand structure for over 100 years. If any group were to make money, I would think it should be the city of Cincinnati. Please include me in voicing my strong opinion against the sale of Music Hall.

More than architecture, it's about the people
My enduring love affair with Music Hall began in 1978, when I chaired the May Festival women's committee. It was the centennial anniversary of the opening of the central section, which was inaugurated May 1878 with the third May Festival. Part of my volunteer job that memorable year was festive decorations in keeping with the grand interior spaces and details of that mysterious Victorian landmark. Being an architectural historian, I already admired Hannaford's masterwork. But working alongside other volunteers, especially May Festival president Joseph Stern Jr., I learned that the complex was more than bricks and mortar. It was about people - the determined women and men who put up this world-class arts and exposition center on the fringe of a maturing boom town while warily watching advancing St. Louis over one shoulder and Chicago over the other. It was about the people who loved it still and the members of the world-class musical organizations that called it home.
Sue Ann Painter
An early memory of Prokofiev
When I was about 5 years old (probably 1962), my mother took me to my first performance at Music Hall, Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." I remember thinking how excited I was and what a grand place Music Hall was. Over the years, my mother and I would attend many concerts and operas, always special times in my formative years. Grand memories of a grand place with a grand lady! Here's to a successful restoration of one of Cincinnati's most important landmarks!

Pink Floyd, live in 1972
Please add my letter to the many wonderful testimonials from aficionados of the fine arts, music and entertainment venues about Cincinnati Music Hall and its incredible and lustrous legacy. In great appreciation of the acoustics, plush, tasteful embellishments and the aura of the seemingly ineffable, many of us remember with impassioned intensity and greatly enjoyed the incredible performance of Pink Floyd live at Music Hall 1972!

Movement, noise and sparkling color
My introduction to Cincinnati Music Hall was in my freshman year at UC. We entered from Central Parkway, wound through a series of drab halls, up some stairs and stepped through a creaky narrow door onto the balcony. The first look was like being in a cave on top of a steep mountain looking down into a sunlit valley. The valley, filled with movement, color and noise, was lighted by a sparkling sun that hung down below me. The sun was the largest chandelier I had ever seen, just filled with light and sparkles. It seemed to swoop down into the open space of the hall like an eagle I had watched swoop down into the Grand Canyon. As I sat down, I wondered how I could hear all of the instruments from this height without blurring and echoes. The acoustics in the hall made the orchestra seem to be right in from of me. I have felt the same awe and thrill every time I have gone to Music Hall, our great landmark. Changing the configuration and size of that great space could change that wonderful musical/visual experience.

Perfect for 'The Nutcracker'
Love the Aronoff. Love "The Nutcracker." I'll never watch "The Nutcracker" at the Aronoff.

A very short field trip
I went to Washington Park School from kindergarten through sixth grade, and I remember every single year they would take us across to Music Hall for "The Nutcracker," and I loved it so much and looked forward to it every year. We had so much fun with our friends, classmates and teachers.

Red roses and white shirts
A personal memory is my high school (Hughes High) senior graduating commencement at Music Hall on June 12, 1946. With families and friends in the audience, all of us girls in long white dresses carrying a bouquet of red roses and the boys in dark suits with white shirts and ties walking down the aisle upon the stage for the evening program. What a beautiful and fun evening.

Going Wild with Coastal Wallpaper in the Bathroom
I stumbled across this Bathroom when I was browsing DIY-Guides, and I think pink has never looked better. The wading flamingo wallpaper by Cole and Son is so much fun, so is the freestanding tub!
A year ago I published Falling for Nautical Wallpaper and the trend seems to continue. And I can't think of a better space to go wild with wallpaper and/or a theme than a small bathroom! Especially if you have a second bathroom or a powder room. Image via Florida Design Magazine.
Many people stick maps to the walls. Via House to Home.
Others paste postcards to the wall, or Decoupage. Seen at Coastal Living.
Or how about creating palmy view with a Beach Mural. Let your imagination run wild!

Oh my - can you imagine having that last bathroom in your very own home?! I would LOVE that. And I love the map on the wall in one of the middle images. So freaking cool - I'd love to do that in my own house one day. Great post!

I fell in love with the Flamingo wallpaper first, then I saw the seashell paper and now I can't decide which I love better! They are both amazing and I would love to have either one. BUT, that pink footed tub is adorable. I can just imagine it filled with bubbles.

Dave Rawlings grabbed four nominations to lead the rootsy field as Emmylou Harris and Todd Snider announced the nominees for the Americana Awards & Honors Wednesday at the W.O. Smith Music School in Nashville.
Dave's nominations came for music he recorded at the historic RCA Studio B with a band shaped out of members from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Bright Eyes and Old Crow Medicine Show. The Machine's A Friend Of A Friend is a finalist for Album of the Year, and "Ruby" — co-written with Dave's frequent collaborator Gillian Welch — is in the running for Song of the Year. Dave is up for Instrumentalist and the Machine is a finalist for Duo Group.
Ray Wylie Hubbard rode his cleverly titled album A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C) to a trio of nominations. Ryan Bingham, whose "The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart" has already won a Golden Globe and an Oscar award, picked up three as well.
Americana is an umbrella term for music that embraces the rock, blues, folk and country roots of American music. It's a wide-ranging genre, but that's part of what makes it particularly attractive for its believers.
"That's the great thing about Americana," Ray Wylie says. "There's freedom. You have the freedom to write and do what you feel like."
Emmylou, who's evinced an admirable elasticity in her own music, has become something of a symbol for Americana. She's already anticipating the Sept. 9 awards, hosted by Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.
"I'm prejudiced, but I think it's the coolest [awards], I mean as far as all the different variety of artists and music," she says. "We call it Americana — I don't know what else you would call it — but it's great. I look forward to it every year because it's an interesting musical show. It's not just a TV show about giving awards. It's really about celebrating the music."
Patty Griffin, Hayes Carll and the Avett Brothers appear twice on the nominations list, which includes such stalwarts as Rosanne Cash, Levon Helm and Steve Earle. The Carolina Chocolate Drops, a trio that draws heavily from string-band music, performed during the announcement ceremony and discovered they had been nominated in the Duo Group category.
The complete list of nominees includes:
• The List, Rosanne Cash
• A Friend Of A Friend, Dave Rawlings Machine
• Downtown Church, Patty Griffin
• A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C), Ray Wylie Hubbard
• Ryan Bingham
• Patty Griffin
• Levon Helm
• Steve Earle
• Ray Wylie Hubbard
• The Avett Brothers
• Carolina Chocolate Drops
• Band of Heathens
• Dave Rawlings Machine
• Buddy Miller
• Dave Rawlings
• Will Kimbrough
• Sam Bush
• Sarah Jarosz
• Ryan Bingham
• Hayes Carll
• Corb Lund
• Joe Pug
• "The Weary Kind," Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett (writers); Ryan Bingham (artist)
• "Drunken Poets Dream," Hayes Carll and Ray Wylie Hubbard (writers); Ray Wylie Hubbard (artist)
• "Ruby," Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch (writers); Dave Rawlings Machine (artist)
• "I And Love And You," Avett Brothers (writers and artist)

Continuous rain has caused floods in several provinces in the East and the Northeast of Thailand.
Wichien Udomsak, mayor of Muang Amnat Charoen district in Amnat Charoen province, said an outer ring road of the district was flooded and traffic faced difficulties on Thursday. About 50 houses and paddy fields were also flooded.
He said construction work that blocked natural waterways was also to blamed for the flood.
Chatchai Phromlert, director-general of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, said that floods hit five districts and one municipality in Prachin Buri, Si Sa Ket, Ubon Ratchathani, Chanthaburi and Trat.
They included Non Khun and Benchalak districts of Si Sa Ket and Det Udom district of Ubon Ratchathani.
He expected the situation would return to normal in most of the affected areas in a few days.

Couple Finds Strength, Inspiration, and Formation at CFR
When Angela and Jeff Nelson entered Duke Divinity School three years ago, they knew they wanted to get involved in the work of the Center for Reconciliation (CFR).
"The Center for Reconciliation showed me that true reconciliation—made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ—is worth pursuing, no matter how difficult the process may be," Angela said.
Angela and Jeff heard about the CFR while they were in college at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. They attended a conference on campus where center co-founder Emmanuel Katongole spoke. Their professors encouraged them to apply to Duke and to get involved with the center's work.
Shortly after the Nelsons entered the Divinity School in 2010, Angela began a federal work-study at the center, where she assisted staff with program planning and administration.
"I was excited to work at the Center for Reconciliation because the ministry of reconciliation was what had drawn me into theology in the first place," Angela said.
But what started out as a part-time job while she worked on her M.Div. degree turned into something much more.
All-Embracing Formation
During their first year at Duke, Angela and Jeff participated in the annual Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope. The center guides a group of Duke Divinity students on a week-long trip to diverse communities along the East Coast, including Richmond, Va., and Baltimore. In Richmond, the students learn from local leaders ministering to the people of the city through a ministry called "Hope in the Cities" and reflect on Americans' painful involvement with slavery. In Baltimore, students shadow community members involved in New Song Urban Ministries, an organization that focuses on affirming racial equality and loving one's neighbor.
"The pilgrimage played a crucial beginning role in helping me see the ways that our contemporary world—and the violence, economic stratification, and powers in it—is shaped by larger systems of oppression that are all-encompassing and deep," Jeff said. "In whatever place I eventually live and work, I see part of my vocation as a Christian minister as helping people recover this type of sight so that reconciliation is possible."
The pilgrimage and interactions with staff at the CFR taught Angela the importance of listening and prepared her for future ministry, she said. "We cannot hope to see or name brokenness if we do not first listen," Angela said. "This, I think, is an extremely important lesson for pastoral ministry. Ultimately, listening, seeing, and naming brokenness enables us to witness instances of God's grace showing up in the everyday."
Mary Jo Clancy, center staff specialist, said that she hopes more students like Angela and Jeff can journey with the CFR and enter a space of acceptance and discovery. "I hope that Duke Divinity students will find the CFR to be a place to see and share a view of God's new creation that isn't necessarily talked about in the classrooms, a place where they know they will find others who find God at the margins, a place where all are welcomed without labels or divides," she said.
In May 2013, Angela and Jeff graduated from Duke Divinity School, each with an M.Div. degree and a certificate in Gender, Theology, and Ministry. They also received their District Minister's License in the Church of the Nazarene and hope to serve a church together in the future.
As they pursue their own ministries of reconciliation, the Nelsons plan to continue to stay in touch with CFR staff.
"Because I worked at the CFR for two years, it played a huge role in my journey," Angela said. "The personal relationships I developed with CFR staff, student associates and other students who were involved in CFR activities are extremely valuable to me. You can't go through life's journeys without good friends."

The case of Alexander Radulov, regarded by many as the best player outside the NHL, is confusing. These are facts:
Radulov's KHL season ended on Friday; he has a year left on the entry-level deal he signed with the Nashville Predators; and his agent, contacted by Yahoo! Sports' Dmitry Chesnokov, didn't deny that he had interest in returning to the NHL this season.
Whether that actually happens, and the exact process the 25-year-old forward would have to deal with should he attempt a comeback in the next few weeks, is unknown. TSN.ca's Bob McKenzie says that based on his understanding, Radulov would be eligible to play for Nashville in the regular season and playoffs, pending approval by the NHLPA, because of his existing contract.
Players who sign new contracts after the NHL trade deadline, as was the case with Bruins goalie Marty Turco, must pass through waivers before joining their chosen team. Should that happen, they are not allowed to play in the postseason.
Radulov, a goal-scoring winger taken by the Predators with the 15th overall pick in 2004, had 44 goals and 51 assists in 145 NHL games before signing a three-year deal with Ufa Salavat Yulayev of the KHL in July 2008, just before the NHL and KHL each agreed to honor the other's contracts. In the four KHL seasons since, he's added to his reputation, winning an MVP and a league championship, and setting the KHL scoring record in 2010-11 with 80 points (20 goals, 60 assists) in 54 games.
Nashville, meanwhile, has loaded up for a Stanley Cup run, trading for penalty-killing faceoff specialist Paul Gaustad, 6-7 shot-blocking defenseman Hal Gill and winger Andrei Kostitsyn at the NHL trade deadline. Adding a player of Radulov's caliber under any circumstance would be a positive.
"He'd make an instant impact," Predators defenseman Shea Weber told the Nashville City Paper last month. "I mean, the guy is that talented and has the ability to change the game. He's that guy that can take it upon himself to score that big goal or make that big play late in the game."
Another fact, according to Predators GM David Poile, who's in the camp that believes Radulov to be the best player not competing in North America: The remaining year of his contract would be fulfilled once he plays for the Predators. To put it another way, Radulov would be free to sign a new contract with the Predators or any other NHL team—like any other free agent—should he, say, play a few postseason games in Nashville.
"It's a sore point with me and our organization that, to my knowledge, we're the only team that's ever had a player that's not honored his contract," Poile told the City Paper. "If you don't honor your contract, you're suspended. You shouldn't be free to play in another league.
"He's the only player that's ever been able to do that."
The Predators definitely want Radulov: Poile has said that he believes Radulov, who clashed with veterans on the team during his first tenure in Nashville, has matured. Weber has called him one of the most skilled teammates he's had, and the two, along with defenseman and pending unrestricted free agent Ryan Suter, were close friends during their early years with the franchise.
As Poile has stated several times, the choice is Radulov's.
"The bottom line is that he's the one who has to make the next move. There's nothing more that the Predators can say or do or his agent can say or do. The decision lies in his hands as to whether he wants to come back to the Nashville Predators," Poile told the City Paper.
"My thinking is that if this ever happened, it would be a bonus—period. I'm not counting on it, not planning on it, not dwelling on it."

P.J. Norwood asks: What goals do you have as a firefighter, and what obstacles are out there that you have to overcome to achieve those goals?
Welcome to Job Face Fire Engineering Video Blog. I'm P.J.Norwood. Today, I want to talk about work related goals. Many firefighters and officers watching this have a goal of being promoted to the next level. Some have a goal of becoming a career firefighter, some to pass Fire One, EMT, or even a paramedic class. And they're those with the tactical goals, such as to successful complete a VEIS and make a grab. Today I want to hear from you in your current goals. I wanna know what goal you achieved and how you achieved it. I also wanna know what crazy roadblocks did you encounter that you had to overcome. Now this may seem, you know, a little silly to some, however, your goals and how you accomplish them is a learning opportunity for all of us. For example, my good friend Frank Richie and 19 other New England Connecticut Firefighters had to file a reverse discrimination lawsuit against their city at their expense. Their case ended up being heard by the Supreme Court. After seven years and an enormous amount of time, money, and frustration, and learning 14 of the new Haven 20 were promoted. Now there's a goal and many roadblocks overcome that we can all learn from. So let's hear it. What did you accomplish? And what challenges did you overcome? Join the conversation by posting your comments below. Thanks for listening. I'm P. G. Norwood with fire engineering's video blog with the job.

The restaurant, which is based in the Rydges North Sydney Hotel, recently created a special application for the iPad that eliminates the need for printed menus. Using the application on the iPad, diners will be able to browse the menu, view images and descriptions of the food and drinks, learn recommended wine pairings, and make special requests — all with the swipe of a finger. Although it won't do away with a waitstaff, the new technology does help process menu requests and tracks inventory, eliminating options from the menu if they are sold out.
I could see this idea taking off in establishments looking to speed up service. Could you?

The remote controlled, pneumatically driven fish
The Airacuda moves smoothly and almost noiselessly through the water. Its design, shape, and kinetics are based on its biological model.
Electronics and pneumatics are hidden in its waterproof head and control the S-shaped movements of the tail fin via two fluidic muscles. Two further muscles are used for steering.
The fin consists of an alternating traction and pressure edge, which are connected by frames. When pressure is exerted on one edge, the geometrical structure automatically curves against the direction of the influencing force. It sounds complicated, but it is actually a simple principle with which the fish can display the full swinging power of its fins in the water. This structure is called the Fin Ray Effect®.
The fluidic muscle is a innovation from Festo. Its properties are in no way inferior to those of a genuine muscle, however it is operated with compressed air.

Nets need to look at rebounding in starting lineup
The Brooklyn Nets will rest Kevin Garnett Friday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, and Kidd had yet to announce an official replacement, calling it a game-time decision. Something to consider:
A Futile Effort: Pistons 103, Nets 99
What once appeared was to be another ho-hum blowout for an indifferent Brooklyn Nets team lacking the services of a key player turned into a furious comeback attempt that just couldn't come through. Nets fans justifiably aching, clawing to assign definite blame in a close loss will point to Andray Blatche's two missed free throws […]

In the beginning of September, Brooklyn Nets forward Reggie Evans did the unthinkable: he shaved his legendary-in-Brooklyn beard off, sporting a clean chin unlike anything we've seen in Evans's tenure with the Nets. Evans refused to tell anyone why he shaved his face-locks off, but promised to bring the beard back ASAP. Sure enough, within […]

Shorthanded loss a part of the process for struggling Nets
LOS ANGELES, C.A. -— No player, coach, or GM will ever tell you openly that a team's priorities lie anywhere other than squarely on winning a game on any given night.

Android app removed after installing TODO app on ipad
This is more of a notification of a bug. Yesterday I installed the iphone app on my ipad . After doing so the Android App listing for my android phone in the reminders tab was removed. I could no longer receive push notifications to my android phone.
After removing the android app and installing again, the reminders tab correctly reflected both devices.
This appears to be a bug. Please review.
All responses
Hello Susan,
Please tell me - did you try to log out and back in on both devices? Did one appear and the other disappear as you re-logged on each?
Best regards,
Hi David, thanks for the fast response. After setting up the iphone app and logging in and then realizing that the android push notifications were not working, i did log out of the android app. checked the reminders tab and saw no listing. I logged in android app, checked the reminders tab but again saw no listing of my android phone.
After checking my settings this morning, I decided to uninstall the android app and then immediately push notifications started working.
Please tell me - when push notifications started working on Android, did they stop working on the iPad? And if so - does logging out and back in on the iPad result in the same issue as on the Android?
Best regards,
Both platforms android and ipad push notifications are working now. Once android push started ipad/iphone app started.
Thank you for the clarification, we will try to identify the source of this issue as so far we couldn't reproduce it.
Best regards,

It's September — a time when students and teachers head back to school. I love the start of a new school year, but alas as a business owner, I don't always get to start fresh after a summer respite. As such, I've come to divide my calendar year into two parts — part 1 and part 2. During the first part of the year, I make an effort to learn and experiment. During the second part of the year, I make a concerted effort to put what I've learned into practice — usually by speaking at conferences. Last year, I was fortunate to speak at a plethora of conferences around the country. This year, I am lucky to do so again. Here's where you can find me speaking this fall.
communications design
It's Not About Social Media; It's About the Strategy
I may call myself a social media strategist, but I'm actually an investigator, an explorer, and a mad scientist. Most clients come to me for help with their social media, but to even get to the point where we can successfully implement a social media strategy, there is so much we have to learn about the company, its community and content.
It's not unusual for a company to have a subjective perspective about its audience or about the types of content used to engage them. Small business owners may claim that "Twitter isn't working" for them or that they "can't get Facebook" to drive sales or traffic. While it can be frustrating, having trouble connecting social media to your business outcomes rarely is the fault of social media; rather it's the strategy (or lack of one, as it may be) that isn't working.
How Things Work
Before I started my own business, I was frustrated with the way things worked. Upper management made decisions without truly understanding how new technologies worked. There was no strategy in place. People reacted instead of being proactive.
I read every book, watched every TED talk and attended every conference I could to help me see that there was a better way to work. I was inspired that with the right structure, the right organizational culture, the workplace could work in a way in which others were inspired to approach problems from new perspectives.
Now that I have my own business and work with other businesses to help them become more strategic about their communications and workflows, I am no longer frustrated. After more than 10 years working for other organizations in which I suffered through the bizarre ways that upper management treated those below them or responded to information they don't understand, I am finally in a place where I get to help improve the way things work.

Location: Sublevel 1
Between 1556 and 1657, the greatest Mughal patrons—emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan—formed grand workshops that brought together and nurtured India's leading painters, calligraphers, and illuminators. This artistic legacy is on view with 50 of the finest folios and paintings from the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery collections, which form one of the world's most important repositories of Mughal and Persian paintings. The exhibition opens with a selection of Persian book arts, then focuses on the groundbreaking synthesis achieved by Persian emigres and local Indian artists, and ends with superb works created under Akbar's son and grandson. Highlights include six folios from the Late Shah Jahan Album, which have sumptuous borders that exemplify the emperor's love of jewels, flowers, and grandeur.

When Gary Farneti tells you that Saturday's Harvard-Yale game, The Game, is "just another game to me," you have to think, "Oh no, now he's going to say, 'On any given day, any given team can beat any other given team.'"
But Farneti is serious and his explanation is plausible. "I'm a sophomore and every one of these last eight games has been a miracle. This is the same situation we've been in all year," he explains. "We're the underdog and have everything to gain and nothing to lose."
Farneti is a starting linebacker for Harvard's top-ranked defense. He stepped into the starting role in the Penn game and has been one of the most pleasant surprises of Coach John Yovicsin's Harvard team.
With cornerback Rick Frisbee, Farneti is one of only two sophomores starting for the defensive unit, but he has a contagious enthusiasm and a cool admiration for the role the defense has played in Harvard's undefeated record.
Free-wheeling Spirit
"We have a free-wheeling spirit," he said, "which has created an atmosphere in which everyone feels lose. We haven't tightened up. We've forced them to make the mistakes by keeping our poise when the other team starts rolling.
Farneti shows none of the self-doubts or indecision that might be expected of a sophomore. At six feet, 210 pounds, he is built like a refrigerator.
He is just about as hard to block as a refrigerator. He moves laterally with his hands out in front of him, preventing linemen from getting to his body. He hits with strength far beyond his size, and even the biggest backs are driven back. He has been a standout from his first starting assignment against Penn when he tied defensive stalwarts John Emery and John Cramer for the highest number of tackles. Farneti's agility and strength won him the freshman heavyweight boxing title last year.
His football career started in high school when he played offensive guard and linebacker on the varsity for three years. In his senior year, Farneti's school, Binghamton (N.Y.) North, won the league championship with an undefeated record as he garnered all-state and All-American honors.
After he had decided not to go to a football school, Farneti started looking for the Ivy League school with the "best academic opportunities, the best athletic program, and the best social life." He chose Harvard over Penn and Princeton primarily because be preferred Boston's resources.
Freshman Year
As an offensive guard and a linebacker last year, Farneti played more than any other freshman. He was worried about playing guard when he came to spring practice, but the coaches assigned him to defense behind John Emery, Dale Neal, and Gerry Marino.
Farneti jumped into the starting position before the Penn game when Marino and Neal were injured and has been there since. He pulled a muscle in his shoulder in the Brown game last Saturday, but he is looking forward to an encounter with Yale's high-scoring duo of Brian Dowling and Calvin Hill.
"Some of those teams have laid down and died for Yale as soon as they read their press clippings. I don't think Yale has the depth we do, but they can score anytime and they're always looking for the bomb. They're always looking for the bomb. They're going to have to prove themselves to me personally," he said.

George Winston
We deeply regret that the George Winston concert that was scheduled for Wednesday, May 14th has been cancelled due to the hospitalization of Mr. Winston.
Here is the official statement issued by his agency:
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of George's concert on Wednesday, which was unfortunately necessitated by his hospitalization this morning. George has been doing very well following his life-saving bone marrow transplant from an un-related donor in 2012, although he is currently experiencing a minor setback due to recent adjustments to the anti-rejection medications. Accordingly, his doctors have advised that George be monitored under 24 hour care while they recalibrate, and are optimistic this course of action will lead to a most swift and stable recovery."
Inspired by the seasons and topographies, George Winston plays over 100 solo concerts a year. His concerts feature a variety of styles, including melodic folk piano, New Orleans R&B piano, and stride piano. He performs songs from his seasonal favorites AUTUMN, DECEMBER, WINTER INTO SPRING, and SUMMER, as well as Peanuts pieces from his Vince Guaraldi tribute albums LINUS & LUCY –THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI, and LOVE WILL COME-THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI, VOL. 2, and more.

DeLay Arraignment Set
Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) has been ordered to appear at an arraignment on Oct. 21 in an Austin courtroom, where he plans to plead not guilty to the charge that he conspired with two associates to funnel corporate donations to Republican candidates for the Texas legislature.
DeGuerin also said he had begun to consider whether to attempt to move a trial, if there is one, out of Austin -- a Democratic bastion in a Republican-leaning state -- to a venue in Texas where the former majority leader has greater popularity.
GOI: I think that the judge should try to find a city with an equal (or near equal) amount of registered Republicans as Democrats.
Or another idea is for the judge to decide that there has to be 6 registered Democrats and 6 registered Republicans on the jury. I don't even know if that is Constitutional for the judge to do that but it seems like a reasonable thing to me.

The fact that politics are becoming a focus in a criminal trial just shows what a farce this two-party system has become. I don't know if moving it to a predominantly Republican district would even make a difference; even if he was indicted, someone would cry liberal witch hunt. Where's the intelligence these days? :(
- james said...
Yeah, the two-party system is a joke. Personally, I prefer the parliamentary democracies of a coalition government then our system. I think coalition government is the best form of respresentational democracy out there right now.
- Zen Unbound said...
I am feeling a little sorry for a fellow Tom, Mr. DeLay, at the moment. On Oct 13 I am going to be arraigned on a charge of not wearing my seatbelt. [I often don't latch my belt until I'm a little down the road. A bad habit.]
- james said...
Uh-oh. ;) Shame on you!! Just kidding, we all makes mistakes now and then though on the road.
Yeah, I do feel some sympathy and compassion toward Mr. DeLay too. He has put himself in a bad situation and I hope that he learns his lesson if he is convicted.

Horse DNA has been found in the Taco Bell meat in Britain.
Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed that they have located horse DNA in four beef products sold by Taco Bell. This is the third series of test results regarding beef products in the country, USA Today reported.
On Friday, the agency released information regarding over 5,400 tests, which they conducted over the course of seven days; ninety-nine percent of the test scores came back negative for containing more than one percent of horsemeat DNA, according to the Huffington Post.
Some of the products that had horsemeat in them were Birds Eye's Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese and Beef Lasagna, Brakes' Spicy Beef Skewer and Taco Bell's Ground Beef.
"Based on that testing we learned ingredients supplied to us from one supplier in Europe tested positive for horsemeat," said Taco Bell's UK spokesman Christopher Fuller. "We immediately withdrew it from sale and discontinued purchase of that meat and contacted the FSA with this information. We apologize to out customers and take this matter very seriously."

School of Nursing Mission Statement
Following the precepts put forth in the Xavier University's mission statement and definition of Jesuit education, the Faculty of the School of Nursing affirms its mission to educate baccalaureate and masters graduates with emphasis on preparing them to be morally reflective nursing leaders and scholars in the delivery of excellent, holistic care in a complex, dynamic healthcare environment and diverse socio-political global community.
Core Value: Altruism, Autonomy, Human Dignity, Integrity and Social Justice
Philosophy for Professional Nursing Programs
The Faculty believes the mission is grounded in the traditions, values and spirit of the profession that directly benefits society as well as patients by seeking social justice and decreasing disparities when caring for the sick, promoting health, preventing illness, engaging in scientific inquiry, and ultimately, enhancing quality of body, mind and spirit of individuals across the life span. Our graduates have mastery over knowledge and skills essential to excellent, holistic nursing practice.
Our Xavier graduates while working across various systems, commit themselves to improving health outcomes and safeguarding the health care interests and needs of populations which include individuals, families and communities. Our graduates accomplish this through scholarship, service, leadership, and personal and professional growth.
Scholarship refers to the search for knowledge in the nursing discipline through rigorous inquiry, moral reflection, reasoning, analysis and synthesis of information. The purpose of scholarship is to develop and disseminate knowledge regarding issues of concern to nursing. Our graduates advance nursing in the practice of its discipline using best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient's preferences and values.
Service is the founding principle of professional nursing. Within a cultural and social context, our graduates in the act of caring respect the dignity and worth of each individual. While embracing diversity, our graduates offer a unique blend of knowledge and skills to diverse populations across the life span. They are committed to balancing holistic, empathic, and excellent care within a dynamic, technological, and safe environment.
Leadership based on communication and collaboration skills, is an essential attribute of professional nurses. Jesuit inspired values guide our graduates to confidently and competently advocate patient's needs and rights at the microsystem level as well as participate in health care reform at the macrosystem level. They are capable of assuming a leadership role and projecting leadership qualities in various nursing rolesas an integral part of nursing and inter-professional teams.
Personal and professional growth encompasses the development and refinement of nursing and life philosophies as well as professional values and value-based behavior. Our graduates advocate for the profession and promote a professional image of nursing. They persist in personal and professional growth through life-long learning and self-reflection. Our graduates seek balance in their lives and take measures to care holistically for themselves andothers in order to continue to deliver sustained, excellent care.

End Boss Month #23: The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
By Hailinel 14 Comments
Folks, we are almost a week from the conclusion of End Boss Month. Throughout this blog series, I've highlighted a wide variety of final bosses. Some known for their devious personalities, others for their devious gameplay, and yet others for being just all-around devious. But it is here, before we head into the final seven, that I'd like to highlight a particular final boss that frankly makes even Alpha-152 look like a masterstroke of creativity by comparison.
Which is truly an odd thing to say when I'm talking about a boss from game set in Middle-earth. J.R.R. Tolkien crafted no shortage of villainous forces and personalities in his fantasy universe. And none of these foes are more evil, more conniving, and more dangerous than Sauron, who once used the power of a ring to bring ruin to all in his way. His massive, glowing eye, which sits atop Barad-dûr as a ghastly, intimidating presence, is an iconic symbol that instills fear upon all those that enter its gaze.
So of course it makes perfect sense to cast the Eye itself as a boss fight. A final boss fight. In one of the worst games ever based on the Lord of the Rings license. I speak of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age.
For those of you that are not familiar with The Third Age, it is an RPG that follows the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with a design
stolen "borrowed" from Final Fantasy X. Or at least, the game clumsily plods along the same general path as the trilogy. Actually, that's not accurate, either. What The Third Age is, is a goddamn piece of self-insertion fanfiction.
That's right. Fanfiction. In which the protagonists are not Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, or any of the other names one would expect to see in anything related to The Lord of the Rings. It is a cast of original humans, elves, and dwarves; the Fellowship that follows the Fellowship that Mary-Sues their way from one major event in the trilogy to another. It's absurd enough to see them team up with Gandalf to slay the Balrog, or join ranks with Aragorn to kill the Nazgûl. But at the end of the game, they somehow, in defiance of all narrative logic established by the trilogy, manage to climb to the top of Barad-dûr and confront the Eye of Sauron face to…giant, flaming eyeball.
I…what? How the hell does that even work? Who approved this shit? What in…why? Just, just why?
Feel free to take a deep, disappointed sigh, if needed.
Okay, are we good? Splendid. Let's go to the video tape. Be sure to watch all the way to the end.
What the hell kind of an ending is that? You kill the Eye of Sauron, and then the ending is just a bunch of scenes from the movies stitched together with Gandalf's narration. Scenes which include the collapse of Barad-dûr and the Eye's explosion.
Uh…okay? So, did this Diet Coke Fellowship manage to survive the destruction of the towering evil structure? Yes? No? Oh, who the hell cares. One should never expect much from a game based on a licensed property, but Sauron deserves better than to be treated as the final boss in this trainwreck.
I'm sorry that I had to bring this game and this fight up, but with the greatest fights come the not so greatest, and I'd be remiss if I didn't include Sauron's bastardized boss fight incarnation in this feature. But with this out of the way, join us again tomorrow, as we start our final week of End Boss Month and return to bosses that are, well, not insanely fiction-breaking.

I made this yesterday and it's a keeper!!! I added one red pepper, one Poblano pepper with the Serrano. Roasted them and it really added a nice depth to the sauce. Made fresh Pico de Gallo on the side. It could easily be made into a lower fat version but the one thing I would not skimp on is the authentic Sheep's milk cheese. It's a great fast dinner, especially if you can purchase a pre-cooked roasted chicken and shred it the next day. Served with the Pico de Gallo, extra good quality tortilla chips, Whole food's store brand rewarmed in the oven with extra sea salt work well, and a fresh batch of watermelon margaritas, and it's fiesta night!flag if inappropriate
One of the best Mexican recipes I have ever tried - our family loved it! Instead of the rotisserie chicken I coated chicken breasts with dried chili pepper, cumin, salt, coriander and grilled. Because it's hot here I didn't want to run my oven so I put the tomato/onion mix in a foil packet and grilled it alongside the chicken breasts, and I did add a bit of cayenne pepper to the mix. Fantastic recipe, have already made it twice in the last couple weeks!flag if inappropriate
After all the reviews saying the tomato salsa for the chicken wasn't worth it, I was weary to try it. However, it's fast to make and gives the chicken an excellent flavor and mild heat with just one serrano. Definitely go for it. It's going into the permanent rotation at my house.flag if inappropriate
Oops, meant to make it 4 forks.flag if inappropriate
Made this tonight and it was delightful. I didn't have iceberg, so substituted with a combo of Romaine lettuce and purple cabbage, which provided great crunchy texture. Great combination of flavors and textures -- my family loved it!flag if inappropriate
Oops! Forgot the fork rating...flag if inappropriate
I chose not to fry to tortillas, wanting to save some calories. This was good, easy, quick, and nutritious. Best of all, my family asked me to make it again.flag if inappropriate
WOW - didn't change a thing about the recipe (except add a couple drops of my favorite hot sauce on top before eating), it was absolutely delicious. And also makes a super quick meal the next day with the leftovers - just fry up some more tortillas and you're good to go!flag if inappropriate
LOVE THIS RECIPE!flag if inappropriate
The Tostadas were excellect, followed recipe with the addition of cumin and lime juice to taste to the Chicken mixture. Used romaine instead of iceberg. Be sure to serve with a wedge of lime for spritzing the the salad topping. Next time, will broil corn tortillas till crisp. Prep to finish, about 1 hourflag if inappropriate

'Once Upon a Time': Comic-Con 2012 - live blog
Hello again and welcome to the latest Digital Spy live-blog direct from the San Diego Comic-Con 2012. We're back in the convention centre's Ballroom 20 to bring you live updates from the Once Upon a Time panel...
Stars Ginnifer Goodwin (Mary Margaret / Snow White), Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan), Lana Parrilla (Regina / the Evil Queen), Josh Dallas (David Nolan / Prince Charming), Emilie de Ravin (Belle) and Meghan Ory (Red Riding Hood), plus executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, will all be appearing on stage to discuss the ABC fantasy drama and hopefully drop some juicy hints about season two!
Stars Ginnifer Goodwin (Mary Margaret / Snow White), Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan), Lana Parrilla (Regina / the Evil Queen), Josh Dallas (David Nolan / Prince Charming), Emilie de Ravin (Belle) and Meghan Ory (Red Riding Hood), plus executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, will all be appearing on stage to discuss the ABC fantasy drama and hopefully drop some juicy hints about season two!
11:45And that's that for the Once Upon a Time panel here at Comic-Con! Stay tuned to Digital Spy for more live blogs, news and video content direct from San Diego.
11:43To wrap, a quick video teaser scene from season two - it's a dark and moody snippet, introducing... Captain Hook! Looks like the Peter Pan legend is going to rear its head!
11:39Finally, Edward and Adam give a shout-out to their writing staff - Jane Espenson gets a name-check - and the audience applauds the scribes, who are in Ballroom 20 here with us.
11:39The final fan question - time is running out! A rather overenthusiastic Roswell fan yells at Emilie, then asks her for her definition of inner beauty... huh.
11:36Will we ever explore fairy tales and stories from non-European cultures? Exec Edward insists that he is interested in exploring more global myths and "international" storytelling...
11:35Emilie isn't a fairy tale fan, she watched "strange documentaries" and Hitchcock, as a child - amazing. Though she does express an appreciation of Pippi Longstocking.
11:33Fan question time! What was their favourite fairy tale growing up? Jennifer picks Alice in Wonderland, while Josh loves Pinocchio and Ginnifer - of course - chooses Snow White.
11:28Which Lost co-star would Emilie like to reunite with on this show? She nominates Terry O'Quinn - 666 Park Avenue crossover?
11:27Robert Carlyle's absence is addressed. "He's wonderful," says Emilie. "Just very charismatic. He's just this incredible guy."
11:24Josh's own Twitter followers have nicknamed themselves 'the Charmers' - like it!
11:22Still on Lana - she has a squad of Twitter followers called 'the Evil Regals'. "They're my gang, my posse," she laughs. "A lot of them have become good friends."
11:21Turns out it's Lana's birthday tomorrow so the entire audience of fans sings her 'Happy Birthday' - awwww.
11:21The moderator asks Lana to "find her inner queen" and recite a line from the show: "I will destroy you, if it is the last thing I do!" The audience whoops and cheers accordingly.
11:19The cast discuss the "cuts and bruises" they've sustained during filming. Ginnifer reveals that she even ended up in the emergency room after one scene went wrong - the poor lamb needed stitches!
11:18Next season, we'll also learn why the two worlds are beginning to merge, but exec Adam Horowitz insists that the second run will still be the show that fans know and love.
11:16Turns out Jennifer has known the identity of Henry's father since the show's pilot episode - the sneak! "It was something that I needed to know for my own backstory," she explains.
11:15Will we ever meet Emma's foster parents? Jennifer is keen, adding: "It's obviously really affected who she is as a person." The execs hint, though, that they are more interested in the identity of Henry's father, which *will* be revealed next season!
11:14Here come the cast - including new additions Emilie and Meghan. First question from moderator William Keck - how did the cast react to the scripts for season two? "I never could have conceived of the brilliance that is the first couple of scripts," says Ginnifer. "As an audience member, it is exactly what I'd want to see."
11:11Turns out that season two will also see Dr. Whale's identity in the Enchanted Forest finally revealed...
11:07Yep, Edward and Adam emerge and confirm that Jack will appear "early in the season", as well as Sleeping Beauty! They also hint at a possible return for Maleficent (Kristin Bauer)...
11:05Some season two hints from a title card video montage - was that Jack of 'and the Beanstalk' fame?
11:01A bit of a sizzle reel to get us started - just clips from season one though, no new footage... yet.
10:52The Once panel will kick off in just a little while here and audience excitement levels are high! Will we learn more about this show's Ariel, Aladdin and Jafar?

How to Start a Freight Brokerage Business
Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
If you're tech savvy and you possess strong communication and organizational skills, learn the logistics of how to start a freight brokerage business. The business itself is similar to any brokerage venture whereby you are the go-between for a buyer and a seller, but the unique requirements of an operation like this call for a solid freight brokerage business plan in order to succeed. So here's what you need to know: As a freight broker you will connect businesses that need goods shipped with trustworthy, authorized carriers. Your job is to play Cupid with the two businesses and ensure that the transaction between them goes smoothly and that both parties are happy with the results. You get paid a commission to be the facilitator for their relationship. Again, if you've got good management skills you might be ready to start your own freight brokerage business, but you will definitely need to learn the particulars of the shipping industry. You will also need to gain contacts on both sides of the shipping business—carriers and clients—so you have key people you can count on to make your job easier. The best part of this business idea is that all of the relationship building and logistical organizing can be done from your home office with your computer, telephone, and fax machine.
A Day in the Life of a Freight Brokerage Business Owner:
Your typical day will consist of keeping close contact with your clients to make sure that all of the details are in place for the upcoming ship date. This might require you to place multiple phone calls and/or email to get everything set in stone. You will also want to ensure all parties have signed off on the contract or surety bond you will have put in place outlining the details of the transaction. In the meantime, you will also want to secure future business—this is where your company's good reputation and word-of-mouth will serve you well. You might also consider advertising your brokerage service if you need additional clients. It's likely some days will be filled with communication and operational details while others will leave you with plenty of free time to spend as you like.
About Your Customers:
Customers of a freight brokerage business will be companies that have goods to be shipped and cannot or do not want to worry about the shipping details, as well as authorized shippers who can provide the service for a competitive rate.
What You Need to Start:
- A business license
- Business insurance
- A business contract or surety bond
- Home office equipment
- Clients
The Good:
- You can work from your home office.
- Startup costs can be minimal, especially if you don't formally advertise.
- You can broker as many deals as you can handle.
- Once you have solid carriers in place it becomes quite easy to match them up with the right business.
- The business can be very lucrative.
The Bad:
- You might have to work very hard to get your first clients.
- The business can be stressful, not only in managing your clients' transactions but also ensuring you've taken care of all the details effectively.
- Freight Broker Association
- Transportation Intermediaries Association
- National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America

Disease management programs that help guide the care of patients with chronic health problems appear to improve the quality of health care, but there is little evidence that such efforts actually save money, according to a study issued today by the RAND Corporation.
The RAND Health study reviewed all past research on disease management programs, which seek to help patients with conditions like diabetes and congestive heart failure by offering a system of coordinated healthcare interventions. These interventions can range from pre-recorded telephone reminders to home visits by medical professionals.
Researchers selected 29 evaluations, systemic reviews and meta-analyses to focus on, covering 317 unique studies. That review found consistent evidence that these programs can improve health care quality, improve disease control, and, in the case of patients with congestive heart failure, reduce hospital admission rates. But patients with depression who were enrolled in disease management programs were more likely to use outpatient care and prescription drugs, increasing costs. There also is little evidence about whether these programs improve health outcomes over the long term.
Disease management is viewed as the silver bullet that can fix two problems of the health care system inadequate quality and high costs, said Soeren Mattke, lead author of the report and a senior natural scientist at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. Unfortunately, while there is evidence that disease management programs can indeed improve the quality of care, there is no conclusive evidence that they can actually save money.
Health insurance plans and employers nationally in 2005 spent about $1.2 billion on disease management programs, with 96 percent of the top 150 U.S. health insurance companies offering some form of disease management service. The topic also has become a key point in the national health care reform debate, as policymakers search

A 1991 Ogdensburg Free Academy graduate will appear on an episode of The Doctors today for a surgery he performed to remove a massive tumor from a woman.
The show entitled Your Grossest Body Problems Solved will feature segments on spiders in your ears, parasites in your eyes, fungus on your face and the 51-pound tumor Dr. David J. Dupree removed from a New Jersey womans abdomen earlier this year.
Dr. Dupree was flown to the Paramount Studios in Los Angles to tape the episode.
To go from Ogdensburg to L.A. was not an easy course, Dr. Dupree said in a telephone interview after returning to his home in Fair Haven, N.J., from Hollywood. It was great. They flew me out there, and I spent the whole day there. The Doctors and producers treated me like I was the president of the United States.
Dr. Dupree explained how he chiseled out the malignant tumor millimeter by millimeter for over six hours. The tumor, which made up approximately one-third of her body weight, rested on her vena cava and aorta, which are the two biggest blood vessels in the body, her intestines and lower abdominal regions.
This isnt something that happens every day, Dr. Dupree said. This isnt something you learn how to do in six years of intense surgical training. No one knows how to remove a 51-pound tumor. But if we didnt do this she was going to die.
The woman, identified only as Evelyn, from Union Beach, N.J., told doctors she began to notice something was wrong several months before the surgery, but without health insurance and being just weeks away from turning 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare, she put off going to the doctor until her birthday in early June.
Mr. Dupree said he is often the last resort for many of his patients who are turned away for lack of insurance for risky surgeries.
This isnt the most difficult or challenging surgery Ive done, but shes the biggest save of my career, Dr. Dupree said. She had been turned away twice. Its easy to do something thats hard when youre the end of the line. I learned early on to treat my patients like they were your own family. It doesnt matter where they come from or how much money they have.
Mr. Dupree credits his lifes mission and values to his time spent growing up in Ogdensburg.
I think of where I come from and who I am today, he said. My father and mother (Timothy E. Dupree and Lynn C. Fishel) never miss an opportunity to help others, no matter who they are. I am proud of where I grew up. Were all a product where we come from.
As for Evelyn, Dr. Dupree said she has made a full recovery.
She spent a week in rehab, went home and is doing well, Dr. Dupree said. Shes traveling, spending time with her husband, and has even joined a gym. She has a whole new lease on life, and she looks amazing.
The episode will air at 10 a.m. on WWTI, channel 13. Video clips from the show are available on shows website, www.thedoctorstv.com/.
