World Choir Games: "Music of the World" + Parade
The beginning of this week was a slower pace for the World Choir Games in Cincinnati. At the halfway point, choirs visiting for the first week departed and new ones arrived, so there was very little activity on Monday. A festive, rambunctious parade from the Convention Center to Fountain Square too place 6 p.m. Tuesday, with dozens of choirs, many in traditional dress from their home countries and others in matching T-shirts that designated their team, nation and so on. Each choir was preceded by a WCG volunteer bearing their national flag, and the crowd — lined up five-to-six people deep along both sides of Fifth Street — cheered for each choir as strolled by. There were as many cameras in the parade as well among those watching: Everyone wanted to capture the fun to share later. On Wednesday evening at the Aronoff Center, I went to the "Music of the World" Celebration Concert. Since two of the four performing groups were from the U.S., I guess this title referred more to the music than their origins, but each had something to offer. The opening set was by the Collegiate Honor Choir from regional universities near or in Cincinnati: CCM at UC, Xavier, Capital University (Columbus), Wright State (Dayton), Miami and NKU. They sang as a large ensemble at first, conducted by Earl Rivers from CCM (also one of the WCG's artistic directors) and then several groups were broken out for specific numbers, led by their own director. The most interesting number was "The Storm is Passing Over" by the singers from NKU: Amid some angsty singing, several performers spoke out lines of dismay about contemporary life or laughed maniacally. After several minutes of that, once a few singers collapsed from exhaustion, a spiritually inspired passage resolved the piece on an air of hope for the future. This segment also included a brief film tribute to esteemed American composer Morten Lauridsen (the full film is on view at various times at the Downtown Public Library during the WCG) and then a performance of two of his pieces, "Dirait-on" and "Sure on this Shining Morning," with Lauridsen accompanying the singers on the piano. Up next was the University of Newcastle (Australia) Chamber Choir with 40 singers, male and female. I especially enjoyed their second number, "Birds," based on three traditional Australian Bush songs. It was full of whistles and shrieks, as well as choreographed hand motions that simulated the movements of various kinds of birds. It was an unusually delightful piece. More delight came from the Gema Sangkakala Choir from Manado, Indonesia. Another mixed group of approximately 40, its men were attired in black jackets with symmetrical yellow patterns (eight leaves about the size of a human hand is my best guess since my seat was far back from the stage) and the women wearing beautiful sparkling traditional dresses accented with scarves of primary colors tied around their waists. The group sang four numbers with lots of dance motion; in fact, each number concluded with a held pose — arms upraised, for instance — that became the initial pose of the following song. Their very coherent program was full of humor: One song appeared to be a flirtatious exchange between the men and the women, while another was a tongue-twisting piece full of what were probably nonsense works (my notes say "packa-packa-dum-dee-dum," a phrase and others like it were repeated at high speed). Neither the program, the emcees nor the directors offer any insights about the songs, so audiences are left to figure them out — I wish I'd known more about the substance of this Indonesian group's performance, but it was delightful from start to finish. The final group was the Indianapolis Children's Choir, about 100 young adolescent girls and boys. They were wonderfully trained, and their program was a perfect selection of material for young performers, not too challenging but very appropriate for youngsters full of energy and expression. "Tell My Ma" (accompanied by an adult playing the spoons!) was a clever song about competition between groups of boys and girls; "Happy Together" (a Pop tune from the 1960s by the Turtles) was a great number for the kids to cut loose with their own swaying body and hand motions, not synchronized but each doing something that expressed their joy at young love. That approach typified this group's performance — carefully chosen numbers that fit the youthful nature of the performers. Everyone left the Aronoff smiling! I have a "day pass" for Thursday, so I'll be wandering in and out of activities all over downtown. I'll report on that on Friday morning. There's only a few days left — WCG ends on Saturday evening. If you haven't attended anything yet, there's still time.

Battle of the Abstract Expressionists

The Battle of the Abstract Expressionists, as Mary Ran of Ran Gallery playfully calls her current show, could be a draw between the artists, but color rules in the works of each. Two well-known, deeply committed 20th century Cincinnati artists, Jack Meanwell and Paul Chidlaw, both practiced abstract expressionism — as opposed to non-objective art, in which tangible subject matter has been thrown out entirely — and both used color with visceral pleasure.

When FotoFocus — the new citywide celebration of photography and lens-based art — occurs in October, there will be so many artists and venues involved it will be hard to choose which to see and when. While I am looking forward to all of it, one photographer I am particularly eager to see isn't that famous, but has certainly made an impact. Nancy Rexroth, who will be presenting new work from her landmark Iowa project, is sharing with Judi Parks and Jane Alden Stevens a show called Landscapes of the Mind: Metaphor, Archetype and Symbol 1971-2012 at YWCA Women's Gallery. It opens Oct. 5.

World Choir Games: Around the World
Eight riveting performances at sold-out Aronoff Center
I had a trip around the world on Sunday afternoon, thanks to the World Choir Games. It includes stops in South Africa, the Netherlands, Venezuela, Switzerland, and the Chinese cities of Guangdong, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Hangzhou. The program, playing to a completely sold-out house at the Aronoff Center's Procter & Gamble Hall, was a chance for eight choirs, each champions in one or more categories, to briefly showcase a few selections. Singer, performer and Cincinnati native Drew Lachey hosted the afternoon program. In order, we were treated to performances by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Girls Choir (Female Choirs champion); the Diocesan Boys' School Choir from Hong Kong (Young Male Chorus champion); Männerstimmen Basel from Switzerland (Male Choirs Champion); the "8 Seconds" Mixed Chorus fa Hangzhou Normal University (Mixed Youth Choir champion); the Children's Choir of the Orchestra of Laraand Camerata Singonica Larense from Venezuela (Folklore champion); Guangdong Experimental Middle School (Youth Choir of Equal Voices champion); Stellenbosch University Choir from South Africa (a double champion for Musica Sacra and Mixed Chorus); and Dekoor Close Harmony from the Netherlands (another double champion, for Popular Choral Music and Jazz). That's too many to offer song-by-song details from the two hour program, but I want to share some memorable highlights. Perhaps most powerful was the "African Prayer," sung by the Stellenbsoch choir, following a remark from the group;s director about how much they appreciated Cincinnati's hospitality. I head this group sing the same number on Thursday evening's celebration concert, and it was equally powerful — driven by full-voiced female singing, rhythmic clapping and building enthusiasm. What's more, the director sat down and let the choir proceed under its own steam. Demonstrating their varied repertoire, the same group also did a quirky rendition of Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous," playing kazoos for part of the number. The Chinese choruses showed tremendous discipline, carefully following their directors and, especially in the case of the group from Shanghai, creating a pure, crystalline sound that was virtually one voice. Each of those choirs were also stylishly dressed in matching costumes. (I found myself wondering how transportation was handled for these choirs, not just for the singers but for their gowns and other attire. No one seemed to have left anything behind!) The group from Basel looked more like a scruffy Euro band, about 30 men, some with beards, others with wooly heads of hair. Many of them wore knee-length pants and suspenders. But their singing was strong and well-rehearsed. The Venezuelans were in costumes that had a Latin flair, especially the women in white, knee-length dresses with traditional, multicolored ruffles on their hems and necklines. This latter group had a fine sense of humor, especially for its tongue-twisting final number that involved singing faster and faster, then concluding in a sort of faux collapse of exhaustion. Most unlike other choirs I've heard, Dekoor from the Netherlands, which sang in colloquial American English offered three numbers from the Pop repertoire. The group of 30, evenly divided between men and women, opened with "We Are Young," a song about friendship, youth and trust — all qualities represented by their stances and interactions (a repeated lyric: "We are young/So let's the set the world on fire/We can burn brighter/Than the sun"). They moved next to James Taylor's paean to frustration, "Damn This Traffic Jam," and as an encore rendered a funky version of George Michael's "Freedom." Quite a switch from beautifully executed but not so stirring sacred numbers. For my second concert of the day, I was back at the Aronoff for the Energy of Youth" Celebration Concert featuring three groups. The frist was local, the Cincinnati Children's Choir, mostly junior high and high school youths. They were augmented for the second half of their program with a specially formed "Cincinnati Public Schools Honor Choir," a pair of singers selected from each of the CPS elementary schools. They concluded with two numbers commissioned for the event and conducted by composer Rollo Dillworth; the finale, "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around," had a clapping rhythm that engaged the entire audience. What this group lacked in polish (they had only three rehearsals) they more than made up for in enthusiasm. The next group was the Farnham Youth Choir from Great Britain. Forty singers, mostly girls (there were three boys with voices not yet changed) offered a varied set that combined some sacred numbers with some folk-inspired pieces (The Piper o'Dundee" and ""Iona Boat Song"). Most interesting was a number titled "Aglepta," that began with a single member reciting this text: "To leave a enemy without an answer, say this words to him: Aglaria Pidhol garia Ananus Qepta" and blow in his direction; then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you." What followed was a strange collection of sighs, whistles, squeals, shrieks, clapping and other odd noises, an odd showcase of discipline that was a long way from the more traditional numbers. It was a bit fearful, and completely captivating. The program concluded with a set by the Guangdong Experimental Middle School Choir that was as much choreography and tradition as it was a choral performance. Native costumes, a Mongolia throat singer, drums, bells, wild dancing — this performance made me think about how little we know about other parts of the world ... and how much an event like the World Choir Games opens us to learning about other cultures. Quite a day.

I've seen Ken Shue's 1984 comedy The Foreigner in several good productions. It's one of the funniest plays I know, a well-oiled laugh machine, but if you anticipate what's happening, you'd think it would diminish the humor.

World Choir Games: 'Voices of Gold'
Hot night at the School for Creative and Performing Arts
Despite the 100-plus heat on Friday evening, on my way to a World Choir Games concert at Over-the-Rhine's School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) I took an extra half-hour to wander through the renovated Washington Park, which officially opened earlier in the day. What an incredible scene! Hundreds of operagoers were streaming through the park on their way to see Porgy and Bess at Music Hall, while kids from the neighborhood — young and old, I must add — were playing in the people-friendly fountain. Everyone was strolling around admiring the views and the colorful "OTR Flags," another festive element of the park's opening. On from there to SCPA's Corbett Theater for another sold-out "Celebration Concert." This one used the theme "Voices of Gold," because each of the three choirs have won multiple honors in past World Choir Games and other choral competitions. SCPA seemed like the perfect setting, since each group was made up of youthful performers: Zvonky Praha is a school group from a school in Prague in the Czech Republic and some of its singers were obviously elementary school age kids; SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School were high schoolers; and the Mansfield University Concert Choir was a mixed choir of young adults from the university in Pennsylvania. It's fascinating to observe the differing personalities of the choirs, here a product of age but also of directors with very different styles of leading the singing. Zvonky Praha begain with its 19-member chamber component, separately named "Abbellimento," all high school age girls clad in black pants and shirts, with scarlet sashes, some worn as belts, others as scarves and one as a head band. Their female voices were reedy but strong for their program, virtually all sung in Czech, so I can't tell you much of what the music was about. But I can say it was delivered with passion and clarity, accompanied in most cases by a blonde-haired pianist who played with expressive emotion. Several numbers were enhanced by one of the singers picking up a clarinet and offering soulful punctuation. When the balance of the choir came on to join Abbellimento, the numbers were roughly doubled, but again almost all girls wearing red choir capes. (There were two young boys, but I suspect their voices had not yet changed, and the feminine quality of the singing did not change.) Director Jamila Noveknová kept the ensemble in tight control, but for several final numbers had some soloists step forward, including one of the younger performers with a gorgeous soprano voice. Their final number, a choral replication of bells, was especially memorable. Lam Woo's director, Siu Mei Lee, is a petite, beautiful woman with shining, black hair. She conducted with the expressive grace of a ballerina, using large gestures and physical movement to inspire her very focused choristers. This was a big group, roughly 80 singers, wearing school uniforms: The boys had white shirts with a school emblem and ties while girls wore knee-length pale blue dresses with white "sailor" collars and white knee socks. This group were serious in their demeanor, totally focused on their animated director. Their wide ranging program encompassed works by Mendelssohn as well as Asian composers; their concluding number, "Zum Gali," was a rhythmic traditional number from Israel that swung between soft and loud passages and up and down energy, but with a beautiful fading elevation of tone as its conclusion. The intense singers maintained their demeanor as the audience gave them a standing ovation, but when a little boy entered from the wings to hand a bouquet to Siu Mei Lee, the entire chorus burst into applause. Their affection for her was evident. Peggy Dettwiler is clearly a veteran conductor (she teaches the craft to others at Mansfield University) and her work with her more mature singers was the most satisfying component of the evening. A balanced choir of about 60, the men wore traditional tuxedoes and black ties, while the women were attired in floor-length gowns all cut the same way. (The women also wore identical sparkling necklaces and earrings.) According to the introductions made for this group, their repertoire is generally drawn from religious works, but that did not mean it was a lot of the same thing: They offered a beautiful piece with German lyrics and music by Mendelssohn, followed by a solemn, stately song by Stephen Paulus, "The Old Church." Next was a traditional Gospel number, "Hold On!," delivered with relaxed energy. For a traditional Appalachian hymn, "Every Night When the Sun Goes Down," the group formed an unorthodox circle around Dettwiler, who conducted the entire program without music from a small, square platform about six-inches in height. That meant that some had their backs to the audience, but at one key moment, they turned toward us, which elevated not only their volume but the intensity of their heartfelt performance. Their finale, "Pal-so seong," was a humorous number in which various solo singers burst into giggles, hoots and chortles, culminating in gales of laughter — a truly unusual piece. The group's encore, an infectious "Alleluia," had them file up the aisles at Corbett Theater, surrounding the audience with joyous song. It was a perfect conclusion to the varied program.

World Choir Games: 'Global Harmony'
Masonic Center performances high quality and appreciated
On Thursday evening I slogged through the humid, 100 degree soup of downtown Cincinnati to hear a World Choir Games concert at the Masonic Center on Fourth Street (next door to the Taft Theatre). I've lived in Cincinnati for 32 years and covered lots of arts events, but I've never set foot inside this honeycomb of stages, halls and meeting rooms. The sold-out event I attended, "Global Harmony," was in a steeply sloped, floridly decorated auditorium that seats approximately 1,000 people. A four-step set of risers was set up in front of a proscenium with a curtain; the scenery was provided by three choirs, two international groups — the Diocesan Schools Choral Society from Hong Kong and the Stellenbosch University Choir from South Africa — both highly recognized ensembles at the 2010 World Choir Games in Shaoxing, China. The third choir had a shorter trek to Cincinnati; the Capital University Chapel Choir, about 80 singers strong, came from Columbus and held its own with the two groups from other continents. The Hong Kong group, roughly 120 high school boys and girls, offered a beautiful, restrained program of earnestly conceived works performed with polish, some religious and some literary (the latter included a piece based on Robert Burns' poem, "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose"). The singers from Capital University had the men attired in black suits, shirts and ties, the women in long dresses with identical bias-cut necklines but in varying colors, bright blue, maroon and navy. Their program was an interesting mixture of pieces, with several uptempo numbers — a lovely song by Dolly Parton, "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," that featured a crystalline solo by Annie Huckaba, and several rhythmic works, "Hehehlooyuh" and "Tshotsholoza," both of which evoked strong responses from the audience. The latter, a South African number, featured two forceful soloists, Chris Bozeka and Nicholas Klein, as well as percussive accompaniment on African drums by Emily Riggin and another chorus member (not named in the program). The Stellenbosch choir, constituted of approximately 120 white and black college students and which earned three gold medals in the 2010 World Choir Games in China, presented a half-dozen songs plus an encore. "Kiasa-isa Niyan," described by conductor André van der Merwe as a counting song from the Philippines, used catchy choreography and motion, including chest thumping, vocal clicking, head snapping and a sharply executed bow at the end. The most moving number of the program, a traditional Zulu song, "African Prayer." It pulled six strong-voiced soloists (again, not named in the program) to the front of the stage and placed two more among the audience for an emotional call-and-response counterpoint that evoked a standing ovation. In fact, each group was greeted with sustained applause as its singers filed on stage and cheered with a standing ovation after their performance. The audience was appreciative and wildly enthusiastic; some were parents of the Capital University performers, but many others were clearly people who simply love choral performances that are delivered with finesse, creativity and enthusiasm. Fifth Street was choked with buses bringing people from various hotels beyond downtown, here as tourists to listen to these performances. Oh, yes: The auditorium was comfortably air-conditioned, a fact appreciated by those in attendance as well as the singers. It was a fine way to be introduced to the possibilities of the World Choir Games, here in the United States — not to mention in Cincinnati — for the first time ever. I was proud to be in attendance.

World Choir Games Underway
Opening Ceremony involves welcoming by U.S. officials and lots of singing
It was quite the spectacle and in a good way. As I, along with other members of MUSE, approached Great American Ballpark around 4 p.m., there were already hundreds of World Choir Games participants thronging the entrance, and despite the stifling temperature, the excitement was palpable. All the hype about this being an international event was no hype at all. For the first time I can remember, Cincinnati looked like an international city. Choirs from West Chester, Loveland and Pleasant Ridge chatted with groups from Japan, Colombia, Canada and Australia. Cheers erupted from all parts of the plaza, spontaneous singing and dancing were everywhere. The plaza was a riot of color: the Colombians in vivid red, orange, and yellow; Japanese women in blue and pink kimonos; the Nigerian choir in bright green dashikis and caps; and the Costa Rican women's choir in flowing white dresses embroidered in bright red. With no signage but a multitude of helpful volunteers, 5,000 of us were mustered into holding areas before marching over to U.S. Bank Arena. Bottled water and mist sprayers relieved the heat, and when the water ran out, there plenty of ice cubes — putting them down my back never felt better. We found ourselves in a shaded area along with a youth choir from Erie, Pa. Suddenly they started chanting, "Sing! Sing! Sing!" As we launched in the South African Xhosa song "Bambelela," their eyes lit up in recognition and suddenly we were one big chorus. They answered us with "The Storm is Passing Over," and this time, our eyes lit up. Same arrangement we do. They sang a beautiful arrangement of "As I Went Down to the River to Pray." When we sang Bernice Johnson Reagon's "I'm Gon' Stand," with Lois Shegog belting out the solo, they were riveted. Once inside the arena, more cheering as groups saw themselves on the JumboTrons. The soundtrack took in The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Gloria Estafan, The Monkees, and I think Neil Diamond was in there somewhere. The Aussies sitting below us started a beach ball toss that would have gone on longer if an arena-wide wave hadn't taken over. I didn't see many empty seats. WCPO's Clyde Gray and Carol Williams were affable emcees and the opening remarks by Mayor Mallory and Interkultur head Gunther Titsch were mercifully brief (Titsch spoke in heavily accented English and then reverted to his native German. That was fine — I'd rather look at his translator any day. Williams read greetings from President Obama — the letter was projected on the video screens to the accompaniment of hundreds of camera flashes. Rob Portman didn't applaud. But he recovered to declare the games open. Cincinnati Pops conductor John Morris Russell paid tribute to the late Erich Kunzel, who was the driving force behind bringing the WCG to Cincinnati. And it was his vision to include the traditional July 4th concert as part of the opening ceremony. I think he would have been delighted and not at all surprised at the power of singing to bring people together. Choruses rose with pride as their nation's flag was announced, but they also cheered on their peers. I'll never forget the group from Namibia turning to cheer South Africa. As we left, I couldn't help singing India Arie's "There's Hope." MUSE sang that, too.

Opera always struck me as a strange, overblown cousin to musical theater. I told people that I had to "turn off my theater filters when I went to see opera." But then I spent several seasons working for Cincinnati Opera, and my eyes were opened to the reasons people react so strongly to that art form.

Lisa Locklier passes snow machines as she nears the finish line outside First Baptist Church in the 20th annual Polar Bear Run on Saturday in downtown Prattville.

It was too warm for polar bears Saturday morning, but it did "snow" a bit during the 20th annual Polar Bear Run in downtown Prattville.
The "snow" was made possible by Carter Reeves' bubbly flake machine used at the beginning of three different distance races.
Although attendance was down a bit from last year's event held outside Prattville's First Baptist Church, the race was still a success thanks to funds raised for mission trips later this year. ...

PPG Industries Is So Boring You Should Own It
- Posted by Greg Harmon
- on July 30th, 2012
Want a solid steady stock that keeps rising and pays a decent dividend? Try PPG Industries, $PPG. Yes they make protective and decorative coatings, and pays a slightly over 2% dividend. What makes this stock interesting to me is that it a very good technical set up as well. Let me explain. The daily chart below shows a steady rise out of consolidation from November 2010 through February 2011 until it met resistance at 107.5 and consolidated there for the last 3 months. That move from a base at 82.50 to the new base around 102.5 establishes a Measured Move higher to 127.50 on the break over that 107.50 consolidation. Now that it has retested the breakout level and held this stock is ready for a trade entry. Using a stop under the 107.50 with a target of 127.50 level would yield a 15% gain against a 3% downside. A 5:1 reward to risk ratio. And the 3-box reversal Point and Figure chart lines up with this upside bias as well, carrying a 125 Price Objective. Slow, steady, boring and a dividend. Bring it on!
PPG Industries, $PPG, Daily
You like it but at $111 it is too pricy? No problem. Since the previous move high took about 4 months to complete you can look to the end of November for the next as an approximation. Using the November 110 Calls, offered at $6.50 late Monday, cuts the capital outlay by 94%. Cut that down to $4.60 by also selling the November 95 Puts for $1.90, a strike below the last consolidation range. It has a lot of previous trading history to work through to move below 95. You can reduce it further by spreading them against the November 130 Calls when it has risen in price enough to get back all of your initial outlay. Of course if you play the options the dividend is not a factor, but the potential $15 payoff at $125 in November on a $4.60 outlay is 226% return.

Mouette à Trois: A Holiday Fruitcake Ale
With Two Tortugas taking home medals at both the Great American Beer Festival AND the World Beer Cup, it's safe to say the bar has been raised on our "Twelve Days" series of holiday ales. This year's beer is Mouette à Trois, a San Diego spin on the traditional Three French Hens. Long story short, we don't have French Hens so we're compromising with French Seagulls. As for the beer, rather than selecting a more traditional beer style like the Baltic Porter (Parrot in a Palm Tree) or a Belgian Quad (Two Tortugas), we went the experimental route. We wanted to create a flavorful winter warmer that captured the perfect mix of holiday cheer and holiday cliché, so we brewed beer's answer to fruitcake. Think of it as a blend of "HOHOHO Merry Christmas!" and "Hallelujah! Holy sh*t! Where's the Tylenol?"
Have a look at the label below, keep your fingers crossed that it does well at GABF, and stay tuned for a sneak preview in our Brewery Restaurants.
Mouette à Trois – Holiday Fruitcake Ale
From the label: Mouette à Trois est la meilleure bière que vous avez jamais goûté ou notre nom n'est pas Karl Strauss. Mouette à Trois, meaning Three Seagulls, is the 3rd installment in our less than literal "Twelve Days" series of holiday ales. Brewed with fresh apricots, cherries and a blend of spices, the resulting strong ale is Belgian Dubbel meets fruit cake. Rich layers of candied fruit and warming spices are punctuated by notes of toffee and fresh-baked bread. Aging on brandy-cured French oak adds hints of vanilla that linger through a warming finish. Don't. Even. Think. About. Regifting.
Beer & Grilled Cheese Part 1:Two Tortugas
In case you've been living under a rock, the 3rd Annual San Diego Beer Week kicks-off on Friday 11/4, beginning a ten-day county-wide celebration of our favorite barley-based beverage. With Beer Week comes an onslaught of pint nights, pairing events, rare beer dinners, beer book signings, and even brewer trading cards – I didn't fact check that last one but it wouldn't surprise me. With so many beer events going on, the real fun is planning events that stand out. For one of our events, we teamed up with KnB Wine Cellars for a beer dinner of a different kind. Beer and grilled cheese sandwiches: the ultimate beer and comfort food combination.
The research phase began with some "field work" at Venissimo Cheese Shop, followed by an afternoon of vigorous tests. In the end, we came up with some incredible pairings and discovered that beer and grilled cheese could quite possibly be the next big thing.
Below is one of our favorite pairings that will be featured at our SDBW event at KnB Wine Cellars on Friday, November 11th from 6pm-10pm. Look for more beer and grilled cheese pairings to come, as we're feeling a blog series coming on.
Two Tortugas Belgian Quad : Bucherondin & Fig Preserves on Grilled Brioche
Two Tortugas 11.1%ABV – Our most recent GABF award-winning beer with a bronze in the Belgian Abbey Ale category. Belgian candi sugar gives this robust strong ale a higher alcohol content over a medium body. The flavors are a delicate union of sweet toffee, dark fruits, and warming spices.
Bucherondin – "Boo-share-oh-DAN" An assertive and tangy French goat cheese that sharpens with age.
Brioche – A rich, sweet and buttery French pastry bread that can be found at your local French bakery or most Whole Foods, where you can also find fig jam.
The Pairing: The sweet toffee flavors of the Belgian Quad balance the sharp tanginess of the cheese, giving it a creaminess that complements the buttery brioche. The fig jam draws out layers of dark fruit with notes of fresh berries and plums. If there were a perfect grilled cheese for dessert, this might be it.

There have been many rumors perviously on LTE capabilities, and they still are coming. Two new pieces of information were seen today including iMore's sources claiming the new device will feature the technology, and Verizon hinting at something coming soon.
To start off, the source that reported to iMore that the iPad 3 event was being held on March 7th is also claiming that the next gen device will include LTE support. Since the previous rumor was true we can only hope that this will be the same.
Verizon has the most to gain from an LTE iPad. Right now, Verizon is stuck carrying an iPad 2 that gets up to 3mbps on EVDO Rev. A, well below the theoretical 14.4mbps offered on AT&T's HSPA network. Given how far ahead Verizon is with LTE, that has to sting, as has to be something they want Apple to address.
Secondly, Verizon put up a form on their homepage telling their users that "Something Is Coming". Could this be LTE for the next generation iPad? We don't know, however, with all these rumors going around it sure could be.
We won't know anything for sure until Wednesday. Make sure to check back for the newest details as they are unveiled at Jailbreaknation.com

ZNMD: Once Is Not Enough
Supriya Thanawala
Dec 15, 2011
RefreshingI was initially pretty floored by this film -- fantastic direction, visuals, editing, screen chemistry, and great music -- but looking back, I might come down to rate the movie as a pleasant watch for an intelligent audience. I really did like the characterisation of each of the three male actors -- and some of the insights into human relationships.

Don't buy the DVD, watch it on TV for free!Purchased the DVD and was so looking forward to watching the movie since I had missed it in Cinemas. To my astonishment the movie was available on Satellite TV and the DVD I purchased a few weeks ago skips at places, the picture and sound quality is much to desire from!
Nov 21, 2011
Dissappointing lack of special featuresZNMD is probably the only movie worth seeing in 2011, amidst a crop of heat-and-serve lazypics such as Bodyguard, Haunted, Mausam, et al. The direction is fantastic, making every scene special with subtle nuances despite the plot not being very profound. The cinematography is immersive, not just the way it captures Spain, but in the way it engages you from interesting point of views. The DVD is good, though the sound could have been better. The disappointing factor was lack of a director's commentary (a la Johnny Gaddar, one of the best Indian DVDs, irrespective of how you liked or not the mov… (Expand)

What a filmZNMD is one of those rare films which influences you.It actually inspired four of us friends to take a trip..a bachelor trip at Goa (DCH anyone??). Subtle yet layered, ZNMD is a masterful piece of work just like Zoya's extremely under appreciated debut film, Luck by Chance.Superbly acted & brilliantly executed,ZNMD is a cult film as far as Hindi cinema is concerned.The fact that the director respects the intelligence of the paying audience adds a cherry on this delicious cake. And three cheers to flipkart's service as usual.

Do people cause climate change? How will it affect us as we grow up? Here are three informative websites for students that explain the basics of climate change. They can serve as a starting point for your report and answer other questions you have.
First we have a site from NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Climate Kids. This site answers some of the big questions about climate, such as "how do we know?" and "what is the greenhouse effect?" There are also games to play and things to make, if you want to have fun.
The Environmental Protection Agency's A Student's Guide to Global Climate Change is full of information about the effect of climate change on the environment. Learn the basics, see the impacts, and begin to think like a scientist at this well organized site. It includes thoughtful answers to frequently asked questions, such as "Is climate change the same thing as global warming?" The video above was produced by the EPA to explain the basics of climate change.
The most scientific of these sites, Spark Science Education, has a wealth of information, and comes from the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The focus is mainly on atmospheric issues. This site includes a section on climate change activites, to explore projects and data about climate change.
The library also has online resources and encyclopedias to help with your report. Look up "climate change" on Grolier Online, with material for students of all ages. You will need your library card number and PIN to use this resource from home or school.
Want to learn more? Ask a librarian online or at your nearby library.

Metal Dies "Die-Lights"
Whiff of Joy is carrying its own line of exclusive metal dies (made of steel), usable with most die-cutting machines on the market (e.g. Cuttlebug by ProvoCraft and the BigShot from Sizzix).
- Our metal dies are made out of 100% steel, manufactured in the U.S.A.
- The dies feature a sturdy blade attached to a solid "backer" that is laser
cut within a 1/16" of the blade.
- As we are a rubber stamp company, it is essential for us that our dies can be used together with our outstanding lines of stamps. For this reason we use a unique technique to align our stamps with our dies. Most of our dies come with a transparent alignment tool - Learn more about how to use this tool HERE.
- Our dies cut more than just paper. Felt, fabric, cork, magnetic sheets,
metal, polyshrink, clear cardstock and adhesive-backed canvas just to
name a few!
- Our dies are "environment friendly" this means they meet or exceed all environmental standards, lead-free paint. None of the waste goes into the public water system. Acids ge recycled and sold back to the chemical companies.
We will introduce new dies regularly. Lots of the dies will also coordinate with our most popular stamp collections.

Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey's attempt to veneer the ugly reality of state-sponsored death with the message of Christ is not only disingenuous, but it also opens the door to the charge that Christians manipulate God's word to justify their actions, the same accusation that many Christians levy against other religions.
Time may answer why state leaders have suddenly decided to seek the execution of 10 men on death row when only six people have been executed since 1960, but many of the arguments advanced by Ramsey omit vital information.
First, one of the reasons Tennessee has not executed anyone in four ...

Officers attending: Pam Chambers, President; Cindy Beckett, President Elect; Fred Thomas, Secretary
Senators attending: Jim Brooks, Susan Callender, Frank Clay, Myra Grinner, Kenneth Melendez, Jackie Myers, Nick Reeder, Shari Rethman, Ellen Rosengarten, Marsha Wamsley, Charles Williams
Senators not attending: Marti Shapiro
Others attending: Laurel Mayer
Pam called the meeting to order at 2:30 in Room 6142
1. Announcements
1.1. Pam reported that plans for the Presidential Inauguration are progressing well and asked Senators to remind all faculty who will be attending to order their academic attire if they have not already done so.
2. Minutes from February 25 and March 10
Both sets of minutes were approved as distributed.
3. Proposed changes to Handbook Section 2.6.1
Pam reviewed the changes proposed by Academic Policies Committee to section 2.6.1 (attachment FSMA20040407-03A) on the timing of the FAPR process for faculty with start dates other than September 1. After brief discussion, Cindy moved to approve the proposal and Marsha seconded. The motion passed.
4. Distance Learning Compensation
Pam reviewed the Distance Learning Compensation policy (attachment FSMA20040407-04A) proposed by the Distance Learning Compensation Policy Committee.
Jim asked for clarification about the statement in the proposal which said "in the case of an interactive classroom course, the on-campus students will constitute one section while each of the remote sites will be considered discriminate sections." There was extensive discussion about the point, with several Senators noting that remote sites for some courses have very small numbers of students. Frank reported teaching an interactive class with 10 students, one at each of 10 different remote sites. Cindy, on the other hand, reported that some faculty are now teaching as many as 100 students simultaneously at various remote sites while being paid to teach just one section. As Senators understood the proposal, it would protect faculty from being pressured to teach multiple sections simultaneously without appropriate pay, but would still allow faculty to teach individuals or small groups at a remote site with the same compensation as for independent study students.
Shari, Pam and others said that independent study is an issue that needs to be addressed in a broader context. Jim and Shari suggested that it might be better for the policy to say explicitly that remote sites must count as separate sections when the enrollment is large enough but they could be combined with on-campus students to fill up a single section that might otherwise be cancelled for low enrollment. Ellen and Cindy described current agreements with a Cleveland High School and with Hocking College and said that agreements like these can have a very important impact on faculty workload in the future. Fred questioned whether it is appropriate to let faculty teach multiple sections simultaneously and said the same principle might be used for someone who teaches a large on-campus lecture section while being paid for teaching multiple sections.
Ellen expressed her agreement with the proposal's adjustment in compensation for course development to reflect differences in credit hours. She also expressed concern that non-subject specialists may not be fully qualified to decide how complex it is to develop or revise a particular course. The proposal says that a rubric will be used in deciding the course development compensation, and several Senators were eager to see the rubric. Nick reported the rubric is currently under development. Cindy also noted that it remains possible for faculty to say "no" if they do not feel there is sufficient compensation for a course development or revision project.
Jim noted that the proposal does not change the compensation for people who teach videotape, audiotape, print or other non-interactive distance courses. He asked if faculty who teach in those formats are satisfied with the current compensation. Fred replied that some faculty who teach low-enrollment videotape courses are not satisfied with the compensation. Nick explained that the charge to the Distance Learning Compensation Policy Committee was to revise only the interactive formats; therefore, the Committee did not address videotape, audiotape and print-based courses. These formats do not place as great a demand on instructors' time as the interactive formats, and it seems likely that the benefits to students of the interactive formats will lead to their gradually replacing the non-interactive formats.
Susan, Frank, Shari, Jackie, Cindy and several others expressed their enthusiastic support for the proposal as a major step forward in dealing with an important and long-standing issue. The Senate's questions about remote sections and about the rubric for course development compensation should not be allowed to delay approval or to detract from the outstanding work done by the Distance Learning Compensation Policy Committee in developing the proposal. Nick will share both the Senate's positive view and its questions with Nancy Thibeault and the other Committee members. Final Senate action on the proposal is anticipated within two weeks.
5. Open Forum
5.1. Pam reported that Dr. Jacobs will participate in the Senate meeting on April 14th and asked Senators to help generate a list of issues that they would like Dr. Jacobs to discuss. Issues mentioned included budget, the results of implementing the 66-hour limit, the College's direction with regard to ACFs and Special Adjuncts, faculty development strategies, the impact of Steve Jonas's retirement, the LRC renovation and its impact on instruction, the development of an overall instructional plan, possible reorganization of the VPI's duties and regional development. Ken and Susan also emphasized the need for faculty and administration to work together in achieving an integrated vision and strategy for instructional improvement over the next several years.
5.2. Pam reminded Senators that the next Faculty Assembly meeting will be held on May 12th at 2:30. The normal Assembly meeting room, 4011, is in use until 2:30, and it may be better to move to an alternative location.
5.3. Charlie and Jim noted that some of the interviews with candidates for the position as Director of the LRC may conflict with the next Senate meeting. They both emphasized the importance of active involvement by Senators and other faculty in that process.
5.4. Frank asked if any Senators were aware of a rule that faculty who teach evenings cannot be required to teach before 10 am the next morning. Although several faculty remember this as a policy, no one could recall or document its having been included in the Faculty Handbook.
5.5. Cindy reported on the Presidential Inauguration and said that space limitations will make it impossible to have faculty enter by divisions. The processional will instead be similar to that at Commencement.
5.6. Pam said that the 2004 Commencement will again be at Hara Arena. The University of Dayton seems less interested than before in hosting any commencements for other schools, but there are still discussions underway about the location for 2005 and beyond.
The meeting adjourned at 4:08.
Submitted by Fred Thomas
Approved by Faculty Senate April 14, 2004

Friendship Christian baseball coach John McNeal, left, and former pitcher Brennan Swindoll were honored by the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association as its 2013 Coach of the Year and Player of the Year, respectively, at the Marriott Hotel in Nashville last Saturday.
Swindoll was the salutatorian of the 2013 FCS graduating class. He went 34-4 on the mound as a freshman, junior and senior, having missed his sophomore season due to Tommy John surgery for an injury sustained in football. The left-hander capped his high school career by pitching four straight complete-game shutouts with 40 strikeouts and two walks in tournament play, including the state final. His senior season was preceded by surgery to eradicate testicular cancer. But just before pitching the Commanders to the state championship in May, he learned the cancer had returned and underwent a nine-week round of chemotherapy treatment. Cancer free, he is a freshman at Chattanooga State Community College where he will soon pitch his freshman season.
McNeal will soon begin his 22nd season as Friendship baseball coach during which time the Commanders have compiled 21 district championships, 11 state tournament appearances, two runners up and two championships with a record of 635-214. Nine of his former players are currently playing in college and another, Stephen Pryor, is recovering from a shoulder injury with the Seattle Mariners.

First pictures: GT Speed convertibleComment on this story
These very official-looking pictures of the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed convertible have popped up in the cybergarage, fuelling rumours that the real thing will debut at the Detroit auto show in a couple of weeks.
To judge by the pictures (no details have been released) it is what it is - a GT Speed coupé with the roof cut off, sporting a deep, quite aggressive front apron melding into neat side skirts, slightly lowered suspension, elliptical tailpipes and a set of very chav 21" alloys.
Expect it to be propelled by the same 460kW/800Nm six-litre W12 turbopetrol, eight-speed auto transmission and all-wheel drive as the tintop but, due to the inevitable extra weight of a convertible, performance will probably by slightly down on the coupé's 4.2-second sprint from 0-100 and 322km/h top speed - but not much.

Oak Harbor outlasts Port Clinton, 46-31
Emily Ashley goes for two against the Rockets.
Behind a game-high 19 points from Andrea Cecil, Oak Harbor jumped out to an early lead and slowly took control on their way to a 46-31 victory over Port Clinton.
The Rockets outscored the Redskins, 13-7, in the first quarter and Abby Dornbusch's driving layup on the first play of the second quarter put Oak Harbor ahead by eight. Port Clinton would get within eight points just twice during the rest of the game.
After Emily Ashley connected on a free throw to make it a 23-16 game late in the first half, Cecil took over, scoring the final six points of the quarter to give the Rockets a 29-16 lead going into the break. She connected on a free throw, hit a three-pointer from the left wing with 55 seconds remaining and, after a back-and-forth sequence that saw both teams turn the ball over, Cecil converted on a mid-range jumper with 21 seconds left.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) - The city of Frank Sinatra's birth has denied a request for a spinoff of MTV's "Jersey Shore" reality show to film in the city.
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer says the Film Commission's decision was made based on safety and quality of life concerns for residents of the city along the Hudson River.
Hoboken officials say 495 Productions was seeking a 24-hour filming permit to follow two "well-known reality television celebrities" who would live in the city.
It's not clear who the personalities would be. But The Jersey Journal reported last month that MTV was scouting locations for Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley.
The company, which has filmed "Jersey Shore" in Seaside Heights, Miami and Italy, can appeal the decision to the Hoboken City Council.

text: Title: Empirical Bayes least squares estimation without an explicit prior (NYU-CS-TR900) Authors: Martin Raphan and Eero P. Simoncelli Abstract: Bayesian estimators are commonly constructed using an explicit prior model. In many applications, one does not have such a model, and it is difficult to learn since one does not have access to uncorrupted measurements of the variable being estimated. In many cases however, including the case of contamination with additive Gaussian noise, the Bayesian least squares estimator can be formulated directly in terms of the distribution of noisy measurements. We demonstrate the use of this formulation in removing noise from photographic images. We use a local approximation of the noisy measurement distribution by exponentials over adaptively chosen intervals, and derive an estimator from this approximate distribution. We demonstrate through simulations that this adaptive Bayesian estimator performs as well or better than previously published estimators based on simple prior models.

New database at Beaton Institute Helping to Preserve Island's Multi-cultural Fabric
March 31, 2008
(Sydney, NS) – At the Beaton Institute of Cape Breton University, new work is underway to maintain the Island's diverse multi-cultural heritage.Among the tens of thousands of items in the archives are hundreds which contain documentary evidence of elders and tradition bearers in various ethnic communities in Cape Breton ranging from Mi'kmaw, Ukrainian, Italian, and Polish to Belgian, Hungarian, Jewish, and African Nova Scotian. A new digitization project will result in the preservation of a representative sample of the Institute's Aboriginal and Ethno-Cultural holdings. This will increase accessibility to these records, stabilize their deterioration, and increase the representation of Aboriginal peoples and under-represented ethno-cultural groups in Canada's archival heritage.
Current records – compiled in a research tool known as the Ethno-Cultural Resources Inventory Database – include audio tapes, photographs and manuscripts which cover topics as diverse as community history, religious practices, foodways, gender issues, folksong, and personal experience narratives.
"We consulted with community stakeholders to bring some community context to the process of choosing which records to digitize," says Catherine Arseneau, Manager of the Beaton Institute. "Representatives of the various Ethnic groups included in the inventory as well as researchers currently engaged in cultural studies were part of the discussions."
Cape Breton Island has a rich cultural history that extends well beyond the waves of 19th Century Scottish and Irish settlers and the empire-building French and English explorers of 100 years before. From the indigenous Mi'kmaw people to generations of immigrants seeking better opportunities for their families, Cape Breton's multi-cultural population has contributed greatly to its unique character. Immigrants from Europe, Asia, the Middle-East and Caribbean Islands brought their customs and traditions with them to this small island on the East Coast of Canada, and while they worked hard to fit in and survive in their new surroundings, they also held on to what they had left of their native lands.
Over the years, some of this heritage has been preserved and remains in practice while other elements have all but disappeared. Individual family traditions, culturally-specific organizations, and religious pursuits go a long way to maintaining ethno-cultural customs, but changing times and industrial evolution can put more pressure on these institutions than they can bear and the old ways often drift into memory or get lost altogether.
The financial support for this project is provided by the National Archival Development Program, which is delivered by the Canadian Council of Archives in partnership with the Department of Canadian Heritage, and Library and Archives Canada. With this funding, the Beaton Institute has been able to start the much-needed process of preserving these holdings and improving community awareness and access to them.
The digitization process will be an ongoing one as the Beaton Institute works in collaboration with the Centre for Cape Breton Studies and the university community to make its archival holdings widely available in a safe format.
A database will be created that is compliant with provincial and national standards, thereby establishing necessary infrastructure for future access projects. At least 150 records will be digitized and made available through the province's ArchWay website, the Atlantic Scholarly Information Network hosted by Memorial University of Newfoundland's Digital Archive Initiative (DAI) website, and the Beaton Institute web site hosted on www.cbu.ca.
The Beaton Institute is a cultural archive mandated to preserve the social, economic, political and cultural history of Cape Breton Island. http://beaton.cbu.ca/

A label printer-applicator prints, encodes, verifies, and applies pressure-sensitive RFID smart labels to cartons and pallet loads in one operation. If the system determines that a tag is unverifiable, it rejects the smart label prior to application. The Model 5200rfid offers a selection of print-encode engines that use thermal and thermal-transfer technology to produce smart labels with text, bar codes, and graphics at 203 dpi. As labels are printed, digital information is encoded on thin, ultra-high-frequency transponders that are embedded in the smart material. The encoded information is verified by the system, which then applies the smart label to the top or side of a carton or pallet load as it moves via conveyor. If a label cannot be verified, it is rejected and retained before it can be applied. Labels up to 5 ¥ 6 in. can be dispensed at up to 12 in./sec and are applied using the tamp-blow method. Weber Marking Systems, Arlington Heights, IL; 800/843-4242; www.webermarking.com. WestPack, Booth #4947
