Russ' first season as the lone defensive coordinator was impressive, as he completely revamped the defense and turned it into one of the finest in the conference. Air Force improved in all four major categories last season, including a remarkable 15.8 points per game improvement to 24.2 overall which led the conference and was 72 spots higher in the national rankings (33rd). The Falcons also improved in rushing, passing and total defense, including an over 100 yard improvement in rushing defense to 135.6 yards per game. That improvement went from ranking 119th nationally to 28th, which is a 91 spot improvement. In addition, the defense improved in third down defense from 125th to 36th, quarterback sacks from 114th to 24th, tackles for loss from 129th to 42nd. Russ also coached safety Weston Steelhammer to first-team all-Mountain West honors. Steelhammer is on the Lott Trophy watch list for 2015.
Russ, a 1995 Air Force Academy graduate and four-year football letterman, returned to the Academy from Wake Forest, where he coached since 2008, most recently as the secondary coach.
Prior to coaching the secondary in 2011 at Wake Forest, Russ spent his first two seasons working with the tight ends and fullbacks and was the linebackers coach in 2010. He coached at Syracuse for three seasons (2005-07) and spent four seasons as an assistant at Ohio (2001-04). Russ began his coaching career at Air Force as a graduate assistant strength coach in 1995.
While playing at Air Force, Russ earned second-team All-WAC honors in 1994 and was selected to play in both the Blue-Gray All-Star game and the East-West Shrine game following his senior season. Russ received Air Force's Brian Bullard Award, which is the program's highest honor, in 1994 and was a seventh-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in the 1995 NFL Draft. He is one of just seven players in Air Force history to be drafted in the NFL.
Following two years of active service in the military, Russ joined the Broncos and spent four seasons with the team and he was a part of Denver's 1997 and 1998 Super Bowl Championship teams under the direction of head coach Mike Shanahan and defensive coordinator Greg Robinson.
He began his full-time coaching career in 2001, joining the staff at Ohio University as the outside linebackers coach. Former AFA assistant coach Brian Knorr was serving as Ohio's head coach at the time. Russ became the inside linebackers coach in 2001 and added the responsibility of coordinating special teams in 2004. In 2005, Russ moved to Syracuse as the linebackers coach and became the defensive coordinator prior to the 2007 season.
In 2008, Russ moved to Wake Forest where he coached tight ends and fullbacks in 2008-09. He coached linebackers in 2010 and the secondary in 2011. The punt coverage team, which Russ coordinated, led the nation in punt return defense, allowing just nine yards all season in 2008. When he took over the secondary in 2011, the Wake defense showed dramatic improvement. From 2010 to 2011, the pass efficiency defense improved 56 spots nationally, the third-down defense improved 52 spots nationally and the scoring defense improved 45 spots nationally. In 2011, Russ coached safety Josh Bush to first-team All-ACC and third-team AP All-America honors. Bush was drafted in the sixth round by the New York Jets. Russ also coached Merrill Noel, who was named the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year and was a Freshman All-American by numerous publications as he led the country in pass break-ups.
A native of Stetsonville, Wis., Russ and his wife, Betsy, are the parents of a daughter, Mackenzie, and a son, Tyler.

COMMERCE CITY — Martin Rivero breezed into Colorado calm as a convent Wednesday for his first Rapids practice since arriving from Argentina last week. But he didn't take long to turn assertive.
In an intra-squad, shortened-field scrimmage, Rivero sharply spun with the ball around a defender, then ripped a 25-yard goal off the back post. His first introduction stopped everyone with oohs and aahs.
"It's just the way I am — calm, happy," Rivero said through a translator. "And that is how I play. It doesn't mean I don't want to win. I want to be an active addition to the group."
The Rapids are hoping Rivero can grow into a No. 10-type offensive difference maker in MLS, after he earned that reputation last summer in Argentina.
"He's your classic Argentinian — good footwork, good finishing," Rapids captain Pablo Mastroeni said.
The 22-year-old playmaker signed with Colorado earlier this month after a tricky back-and-forth between the Rapids and Rivero's former team, historic Argentina side Rosario Central. Rivero scored four goals over 20 games last season, a tear that propelled him into the spotlight. The Rapids eventually got Rivero on loan from Rosario.
"It was painful for me to leave because I always wanted to play for Rosario," Rivero said. "But we couldn't come to an agreement. So I'm happy to be here instead."
Rivero, the team hopes, will bring a creative touch to the ball in the Rapids' forward half.
"My style is to hold the ball, create chances for the team," Rivero said. "They're asking us to give a new identity to the team.
Rivero joins fellow midfielder Jaime Castrillon, defender Luis Zapata, head coach Oscar Pareja and assistant Wilmer Cabrerra as new additions in Colorado from South America. But Rivero is the Rapids' first Argentinian national since Claudio Lopez in 2010. And he's just the sixth from that country in club history — though only Nicolas Hernandez made a significant impact with 11 goals over 54 games between 2006-08.
"The last few Argentine players who've come here (to MLS) have done well because technically they are very sound," Mastroeni said.
Work visa issues held up Rivero's arrival in Colorado, causing him to miss the team's preseason tournament in Hawaii last week. The delay could keep his playing time down to begin the season, which starts for the Rapids March 10 against Columbus.
"This team is clearly looking to fight," Rivero said. "There are very good players. I think we'll be after important things this season."

Dutch lighting specialist Royal Philips has agreed a contract with Premier League outfit Chelsea to install LED floodlights at Stamford Bridge, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/. The Eindhoven-based firm's ArenaVision LED floodlighting system will be installed at the 41,000-capacity stadium in time for Chelsea's preseason friendly match against Spanish side Real Sociedad on Tuesday.
According to an official press release, Chelsea will become the first top-flight football club in the world to complete an upgrade to LED pitch lighting.
German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich struck a similar deal with Philips, which also includes their stadium's outer façade, in May.
Unlike traditional lighting systems which can take up to 30 minutes to warm up, the Philips' LED system can be instantly switched on and off. It also meets the Premier League's standards for TV broadcasting and high definition super slow-motion replays.

In the short, entitled "The Collector," a helping hand, in a very wall-e-esque manner, roams the landscape in search of various objects it can catalog and add to it's sizable stash. Somehow this leads to a Peacock feather sprouting from a hole once occupied by a screw, and is subsequently collected in a glass tube.
Not sure what that has to do with anything, but I cant complain, seeing as the style kinda reminds me of the early Gumby cartoons I hold near and dear to my heart...but without the clay and all. [John Douglas Powers via Make]

I think Im going to wait until Im 6 or 7 weeks pregnant before telling my closest family. If Im still pregnant in 2 weeks Im just not going to be able to contain my excitement from everyone!
I'm joining the November due date club! Got my official BFP this morning with the easy to decipher digital EPT test. Hard to deny the word "PREGNANT"! I had a bunch of cheap-o ones from the internet and kept seeing a faint + line but thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I'm 14 DPO but starting seeing a faint line at 12 DPO. My husband and I have been ttc for over a year now. I'm 37 and hubby is 36. We have a 14 year old son and we haven't told him yet...y'all are the first! I was sworn to secrecy! My calculations put my due date at 11/08. Go to the OB on the 17th for lab work and she is going to see if we can see the heartbeat! I am over the moon! Thanks for having this forum, it's so nice to have others to go through this with. Here's to sticky baby dust and healthy pregnancies.

Toward the end of his life, George Orwell declared that his overriding aim had been "to make political writing into an art." The more we ponder this celebrated phrase, the more problematic it comes to seem. There is the initial question about what it could mean to make such writing into an art ("into an art," not "into Art," suggesting something nearer to cookery than to ballet). Orwell's syntax also makes us wonder what this sort of writing had been before, such that he needed to effect this transformation on it. (Or is it just the transformation of his earlier political writing?) Any writer can, of course, have more than one goal in mind at the same time, but the phrase also prompts us to consider whether this was the best, or even an appropriate, way to describe, say, Orwell's revelations about the Communists in the Spanish Civil War or his denunciations of the "russophile intelligentsia" at home? What relation had this overarching aesthetic project borne toward the more immediate purposes of getting some facts known and some untruths exposed? Is more artful or artistic political writing likely to achieve these goals more effectively, or the reverse? Orwell was famously the apostle of "plain speaking," telling it like it is, but perhaps, we come to think, that is not quite such a straightforward matter. Perhaps it requires no little art if we wish to be plain.
"Political writing" is the label Timothy Garton Ash applies to Facts Are Subversive, a selection of his work from the past decade, and he is explicit about his indebtedness to, and admiration for, Orwell. Garton Ash identified his life's work with some precocity: "In the long summer after I took my first degree at Oxford, I read the whole of Orwell's work, read him self-consciously as example and guide for a would-be writer." He then sought out some very Orwellian subjects to write about—East Germany in the grip of the Stasi, Poland in the heady days of Solidarity, Czechoslovakia during the Velvet Revolution of 1989. He wrote from the front line, having become friends with several leading Eastern European dissidents, but he also wrote as a trained historian. In the 1990s he went on to cultivate this dual identity in relation to other political and military hot spots in Europe, notably the Balkans. By this point he held a fellowship at St Antony's, the Oxford postgraduate college that specializes in the politics and cultures of, essentially, the non-Anglophone world, and he had begun to contribute long, vivid, well-informed essays to The New York Review of Books. In addition to more detailed historical monographs, he also published collections of his occasional writings, beginning in 1989 with The Uses of Adversity, followed eleven years later by History of the Present. The latter volume contained a spirited defense of the "hybrid" enterprise he was engaged in, falling across and between journalism and scholarship, usually combining firsthand reporting with in-depth analysis.
Since that last collection, he has extended his geographical range well beyond Europe, writing increasingly about the United States (since 2000 he has held a part-time appointment at the Hoover Institution at Stanford) but also about Brazil, Iran, Burma and elsewhere. Above all, the past decade has seen him addressing the many cultures and questions folded into the term "Islam," whether pondering sympathetically the plight of poor immigrant communities of Muslims in Europe or the larger geopolitical questions focused around "terrorism." And since 2002 he has had a regular column in the Guardian that is syndicated to various publications across the world. So he is now acknowledged as an influential commentator on international politics, invited to advise heads of state almost as often as he is asked to speak to packed auditoriums around the globe.
The appearance of this third collection is an occasion for asking how far Garton Ash has made political writing into an art, and indeed, to what extent that is a desirable goal. American readers may be forgiven for thinking that it is a kind of writing on which the English have something of a corner—though, interestingly, few of the leading contemporary practitioners are in fact Anglo-English. For example, Ian Buruma is Anglo-Dutch, Perry Anderson Anglo-Irish; Tony Judt (who died in August) grew up in England as the child of Russian Jews before spending the later decades of his life in the United States. Garton Ash is at least as cosmopolitan as any of his peers (a better linguist than many, better traveled than most), though he is the only one who is Anglo-English and has remained tied to Oxford. This company also helps identify some of Garton Ash's distinctiveness: he is, for example, less of a storyteller than Buruma, less analytical and Olympian than Anderson, less angular and polemical than Judt. His forte is the exceptionally well-informed, vivid account of the personal, cultural and geopolitical elements at work at a moment of political decision in a country most of his readers previously knew little about. His writing is more personal and more dramatic than that of most historians, but more scholarly and more comparative than that of almost all journalists.

DescriptionShooters are action games in which the player character shoots enemies.
The shooting is usually performed with firearms in these games; however, any weapon that dispatches projectiles qualifies, which makes many games (e.g. Heretic) that rely on medieval ranged weaponry or even magical projectiles shooters as well.
There are many shooter sub-genres, including fixed-screen shooters, scrolling shooters, rail shooters, and others.
Since the emergence of 3D graphics, 3D shooters, popularized by Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, have become the leading representatives of the genre. This sub-genre is sometimes referred to as first-person shooter, though this definition is not very precise, since the genre's distinguishing feature are 3D environments, not the perspective; some 3D shooters allow players to switch between perspectives, while others enforce a third-person view.
3D shooters may incorporate elements of other genres, most commonly role-playing (e.g. System Shock games and Deus Ex).

When you ask folks who live on an island what drew them to life on a curio of clay, they tend to respond by saying things like, "I can live simply without much interference." Or "Here I'm part of a community that's like a big small town." Or they simply look at you in flip-flop-clad incredulity and ask, "Have you seen my view?"

A Failed Dimension
It was hard to believe that in an age when we have Mezzo and Arte television, a history of 30 years of video cassettes and DVDs on which thousands of concerts and opera performances have been recorded - this is what we were treated to on the screen: a camera zigzagging and looking for something to film, only to miss every single instrument's solo.
The two huge screens that greeted concertgoers as they took their seats last week for an Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performance, conducted by Zubin Mehta and featuring pianist Lang Lang, aroused curiosity and skepticism. Screens at the Mann Auditorium - was this a rock concert in the park? It was definitely an interesting step, which at its base indicates a recognition of the visual element of a classical concert: We don't expect you to close your eyes and give yourself up to the sounds, the orchestra seemed to be saying to the audience, but rather to open your eyes wide and take in the full experience.
Before the first notes were played, the question arose as to what would be worthy of being shown on such screens to a concert audience, some of whose members were sitting just tens of meters away from the stage. The first and most obvious answer, what no audience member ever sees at a concert: the conductor's face, his expressions, what really impels the orchestra to action.
Truth be told, though, anyone who's ever watched a concert on television is familiar with such sights - including the conductor, the instrumentalists and the soloists - whom the camera follows, broadcasting their portraits at exactly the right moment: the sweep of an arm, the puffing of cheeks, the forest of bows rising and falling in unison, the conductor's finger placed on his lips asking for pianissimo.
This is where the doubt began to gnaw: A live concert and a recorded concert are at opposite ends of the spectrum, so perhaps there wasn't any need for all this? At a concert, after all, everything we see is what we're supposed to - even those in the last row to whom the stage looks like "a handkerchief with flies on it," as was once said of a boxing match from the heights of New York's Madison Square Garden; even those who sit in the front row, with the piano a meter away; and of course everyone sitting in between. They are all there, present at a one-time live event, experiencing the sounds right then and there. It's doubtful that additional dimensions are needed or that it's necessary to break the artistic reality into some kind of cubism which simultaneously reflects different spaces and perspectives, or different times and sound processes.
Turning theory into a bad joke
And then came the film crew and reshuffled all the cards, turning theory about the nature of art into a bad joke. It was hard to believe that in an age when we have Mezzo and Arte television, a history of 30 years of video cassettes and DVDs on which thousands of concerts and opera performances have been recorded - this is what we were treated to on the screen: a camera zigzagging and looking for something to film, only to miss every single instrument's solo. Here's a chimes player lifting his mallet and preparing, preparing, preparing - and then the camera leaves him in despair, only to hear him playing his solo after something else is already on the screen. And vice versa, too: Suddenly a French horn solo is heard and you can imagine the panic among the film crew trying to figure out what sort of instrument this is and where it's located in the orchestra, while in the meantime they film the conductor's forehead. When they finally locate the musician, his solo has just finished and we watch him bring the instrument down from his lips. The images on screen were made up of jarring leaps, shaky focus, dissolves appearing and disappearing at random, instrumentalists sitting there doing nothing - a shabby endeavor that was very embarrassing.
What suffered most from this failure was composer Oded Zahavi's work "Sela (Rock)," a short, dense piece which makes use of a wealth of nuances of orchestration, rhythmical complexity and emotional abundance; however, it was difficult to actually concentrate on it. The screens dominated the space, while also damaging the coordination between the music coming from the stage and the movements broadcast due to a lack of synchronization. Thus a specially commissioned work, well worth listening to, was ruined in its premiere performance.
In the Beethoven concerto with Lang Lang, the film crew had already abandoned its pretension of shooting the orchestra and concentrated on the soloist's face (which was filmed from too far away and in bad light) and his fingers - which on the screen struck the keys a fraction of a second before the sound from the piano was heard. The damage here wasn't quite as bad, but on this evening it would have been preferable to have just closed ones eyes.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- One by one, the big-time college coaches filed through Jordan Farmar's living room two years ago, promising the exact same thing. Come to our school, they said, and you'll be a star. You can lead the team, the conference, maybe even the nation in scoring.
Ben Howland's approach was different. Come to UCLA, Howland told the McDonald's All-American, and you can play defense. And we can win a national championship.
"He was the only one who came in and sold me on defense," Farmar said. "The only one. That stuck with me."
So forgive Farmar, Howland or any of the other UCLA Bruins for failing to apologize after beating Memphis 50-45 Saturday night to earn a trip to the Final Four. Forgive them for bumping, grinding and defending their way to victory in a game that Memphis head coach John Calipari called the ugliest of his career.
The Bruins don't really care what you think. Wearing their Final Four hats, their Final Four T-shirts and holding a championship strand of nylon in each of their hands, they're the ones who will be heading to Indianapolis next weekend for a shot at the school's 12th national championship.
"If I was at home watching, I probably would have turned it off," UCLA senior Cedric Bozeman said. "It wasn't very pretty. But it doesn't matter. What do they say? By any means necessary, just get it done. And we got it done."
In bruising, boring, hey-hunny-what-else-is-on fashion, the Bruins got it done with the type of play usually found in the Big Ten -- not Pac-10. Before Saturday, no two teams had ever combined for fewer points in a regional final. The Bruins and Tigers beat the old mark by 15 points.
In addition:
" UCLA's 50 points were less than the amount that Karl Dorell's Bruins football team scored in three of its 12 games this year.
" It was the lowest offensive output in any of UCLA's third-best 88 NCAA tournament victories.
" The 95 combined points were less than either UCLA (102) or Connecticut (96) scored the last time the Bruins won a regional final, in 1995.
"I can't imagine that people actually watched that, other than to see who won," Calipari said. "That was the ugliest game I've ever coached in. Easily."
In the end, a Memphis team that averaged 81 points a game was held to nearly half that. The team that likes getting up and down the floor was harassed into playing too fast, contributing to 20 missed shots from five feet or closer, 15 missed 3-pointers.
The Tigers were coaxed into 18 turnovers, two shot clock violations and 31-percent shooting from the field, their lowest output since a January loss to Texas.
When it was finally over, the Tigers, who had beaten UCLA 88-80 earlier this season, were left sitting in their locker room, dazed and confused.
"I can't explain it," forward Shawne Williams said. "It's crazy. We wore on them like they wore on us. But we could never take the lead."
Said Calipari: "I thought we'd be more physical than them, and we weren't. They were more physical than us. We thought we could wear them down. But it didn't happen."
That's not entirely true. Memphis did turn up its defensive pressure and clamp down on the Bruins in the second half, when UCLA made just four field goals (on 17 attempts) and still won.
But it wasn't nearly enough -- because of the Bruins' defense. When Howland came to UCLA from Pittsburgh three years ago, this is what he sold to his players: defense, focus and mental toughness. They bought in. And Saturday night in northern California, he was proven right. When his two star players -- guards Jordan Farmar and Arron Afflalo -- combined to go 3-of-18 from the floor, when his team shot 51 percent from the free-throw line, when they were outrebounded by five and committed 17 turnovers, they still won.
"Defense wins," guard Jordan Farmar said. "Everybody in this locker room is a winner. You want to be in the winning locker room? Play defense. You gonna have shooting nights like tonight and yet look at the bottom line -- we're still winners. We're still the ones with the trophy."
Welcome to Howland's dream. Forget heart-racing, last-minute comebacks against Gonzaga. Forget the up-and-down-the-floor basketball the Pac-10 is known for. The kid who grew up watching Wooden and Walton wants to make UCLA the Wisconsin of the West. Howland explained after the game what every great coach already knows: Defense indeed wins.
"Who are the best two teams in the NBA? They're Detroit and San Antonio," Howland said. "Who is the best team in the NFL? The Steelers. Who has been the best team? New England."
Look back on UCLA's first two weeks in the NCAA Tournament and there's no great secret as to why they are where they are. Last weekend, there was Afflalo harassing Alabama's Ronald Steele on a last-second 3-point attempt in San Diego. Thursday night, there was the entire Bruins team holding light-it-up Gonzaga to 29 second-half points, helping UCLA erase a 17-point deficit for the come-from-behind win.
And on Saturday, there they were again, making one of the most athletic, individually talented teams in the country look like a mix-n-match group from the local rec club.
"Just so you know," Howland said, "Our goal is to not let you ram it down our throat."
It's a goal they'll take with them to Indianapolis, where the Bruins believe there's still work to be done. Calipari is a believer. He said if the Bruins can keep their games in the 60s, they can beat anybody. Farmar hopes the Memphis coach is right. When the UCLA guard was asked after the postgame press conference to hold up the regional championship trophy, he refused.
"I'm going to leave it down there," Farmar said. "At UCLA, no other banner but national championships go up. I'm going to leave it down here till we take care of business."
No matter how ugly it is.

Article: Maternal and paternal family history of type 2 diabetes differently influence lipid parameters in young nondiabetic Japanese women[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: We assessed the association of family history of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with parameters used for health checkups in young Japanese women. Methods: The subjects were 497 nondiabetic women aged 19-39 years. Among them, the mothers of 34 subjects and fathers of 50 had T2D (MD group and PD group, respectively). The subjects were assessed for levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG). Results: TC and LDL-C level showed a tendency to increase in the MD group compared with subjects without family history of T2D. LDL-C/HDL-C ratio ≥2.14 was found in 32.4 and 18.0 % of subjects in the MD and PD groups, respectively. When adjusted for differences in age, body mass index, smoking status, and drinking habits, the MD group was found to have a higher risk of abnormal TC and LDL-C levels than the PD group. LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with maternal family history but not with paternal family history (odds ratio 3.44 [99 % confidence interval 1.11-10.6] and 1.21 [0.38-3.89], respectively). There was no association between TG/HDL-C ratio and family history type of T2D. Conclusions: Maternal family history of T2D had a more pronounced effect on the lipid parameters generally evaluated during health checkups than did paternal family history of T2D. Therefore, we recommend systematic screening for early detection and appropriate healthcare guidance for Japanese women, particularly those with maternal family history of T2D.
Article: Abnormality of risk factors for atherosclerotic disease among young Japanese aged 19-39 years old: An evaluation of health checkup data[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Japanese public health policies on the prevention of atherosclerotic diseases have focused on controlling obesity. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of abnormality in risk factors for atherosclerotic disease among young Japanese classified according to body mass index (BMI). Methods: Data were obtained from 359 men (mean age 32 ± 5 years) and 1,108 women (mean age 33 ± 4 years) between 2005 and 2010. Abnormal levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and/or gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase were considered to indicate liver dysfunction, and abnormal levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and/or triglycerides were considered to indicate dyslipidemia. The cutoff points for high blood pressure (HBP) and hyperglycemia were set as a reference in the high-normal range. Results: No significant difference was observed in both sexes in all items among each year. In men, HBP (12.9 %), liver dysfunction (33.9 %), dyslipidemia (29.9 %), and hyperglycemia (2.7 %) were observed in the normal BMI group (18.5 < BMI ≤ 25 kg/m(2)). In women, these abnormalities were observed in both the normal BMI group and lean group. Conclusions: Asymptomatic abnormalities, particularly liver dysfunction and dyslipidemia, were observed in a substantial percentage of subjects without obesity. Therefore, we recommend that the comprehensive public health policy should be directed at all individuals, including the non-obese group, for the early prevention/detection against atherosclerotic diseases.

Alonzo King LINES Ballet makes its Harris Center debut, performing "Meyer," a new work to a score by Edgar Meyer and Resin.
With his bold, abstract poetry of movement, King explores a new understanding of what dance can be. Since 1982, King's original choreography has been brought to life by the extraordinary LINES Ballet dancers, in performances critics have called, "Stunning, fierce and evocative."
Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a celebrated contemporary ballet company that has been guided since 1982 by the unique artistic vision of King.
Collaborating with noted composers, musicians and visual artists from around the world, King creates works that draw on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions, imbuing classical ballet with new expressive potential.
Leading choreographer, William Forsythe, refers to King as "one of the few, true Ballet Masters of our times."
King understands ballet as a science — founded on universal, geometric principles of energy and evolution and continues to develop a new language of movement from its classical forms and techniques.
Known for connecting audiences to a profound sense of humanity, King has collaborated with noted composers, musicians and visual artists to create works that draw on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions, imbuing classical ballet with new expressive potential.
King has works in the repertories of the Swedish Royal Ballet, Frankfurt Ballet, Ballet Bejart, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Joffrey Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Hong Kong Ballet, North Carolina Dance Theatre and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.
He has worked extensively in opera, television and film. Known for collaborations, seminal works include "People of the Forest," choreographed with Baka artists from Central African Republic and "Long River High Sky," with China's Shaolin Monks.
He has collaborated with actor Danny Glover, legendary jazz saxophonist Pharaoh Sanders, Hamza al Din, Pawel Szymanski, Jason Moran and tabla master Zakir Hussain.
Renowned for his skill as a teacher, King has been guest ballet master for dance companies around the globe.
Alonzo King LINES Ballet will perform on Friday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $21 to $34 and premium $45. Students with ID $12. Tickets are available online at harriscenter.net or from the Harris Center ticket office at 916-608-6888 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time.
Parking is included in the price of the ticket.

Destroyed in record speed
posted 7 years ago
My dog loved this toy while it lasted, but it only took him a few minutes to rip it apart and pull out the stuffing. If your dog rips apart his/her toys I do not reccommend this toy. It is a fairly expensive toy as well, so definitely not worth it.
Pros: My dog enjoyed it
Cons: He only could enjoy it for 1 day because he destroyed it

One of Ruby's first toys, she still has a ball with this. There is NO stuffing left and certainly NO squeeker. It was easily washed and came out of the dryer like new. She is a Lab, so I thought it only fitting to get her a Duck.
Pros: Authenticity
Cons: None

No Squeek

I think we all like that this doesn't have that annoying squeekie sound. This one Koda carries around by the head, just like a retriever.
Pros: nice sound
Cons: none

Sounds just right
posted 8 years ago
This is a favorite toy at my house, and the dogs like to carry it around, honking it. It holds up pretty well, since the dogs don't seem driven to "kill" it like they do with some other toys.
Pros: love the noise
Cons: none

You're so beautiful =)I love the way you wear high waisted skirt, they're awesome!
By the way, can you please do a tutorial about using mainstream clothing lines? Like Forever 21 and H&M? It's more affordable for most of us. I see many beautiful clothes in these two stores but sometimes I don't know how to pair the pieces together so it doesn't look "too much".
That would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I love this outfit and the earrings! WOW, so edgy. Now I can't wait for summer to come! I'm loving your posts more and more =)
The skirt is perfection!!! Love the look!

- the first Stanley Cup Finals game was played at the Civic Arena; the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Minnesota North Stars (it was a 5-4 loss to the Stars)
- Penguins rookie Michel Briere was involved an automobile accident that would leave him in a coma for nearly a year before he died on April 13, 1971
The Penguins selected Briere in the third round of the 1969 NHL Amateur Draft (26th overall). He helped lead Pittsburgh through the second round / semifinals of the playoffs in the 1969-70 season and came just two wins short of the Stanley Cup Final (losing to the St. Louis Blues).
Briere and his childhood sweetheart, Michele Beaudoin, had a son, Martin, who was one year old during Briere's rookie season. In the off-season, Briere returned to Quebec with plans to marry Beaudoin on June 6, 1970; however, on May 15, 1970, Briere and two of his friends were involved in a car accident on Highway 117. He suffered major head trauma and was flown by government plane to Notre Dame Hospital in Montreal. Briere was in a coma for 11 months before dying in April 1971.
During the season that Briere spent in a coma (1970-71), the Penguins prepared a jersey with his name on the back and they took it along with his equipment bag with them on road trips for the entire season.
Briere wore #21 and no one has since worn that number, but it was officially retired by the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 5, 2001 (his and Mario Lemieux's numbers were the only ones in team history to be retired).

I'm putting together a form to create an order, where one order has many order items. I have it working so it lists all the available products with blank quantity fields, and the user can update those fields to order large amounts of each product.
I validate the numericality of the quantities in the order item model.
The only issue now though is how I show the errors from the order item model if the user enters invalid data? Currently I can only get 'order item is invalid'..

Romney takes 14 point lead in Middle Class Voters
In early August, with our Republican analysis of the POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll, we wrote "… this election will remain close until the final weeks of the campaign. There will be ups and downs for both campaigns throughout the next 13 weeks, but the basic dynamics that are driving this electorate and framing this election remain well in place." Two conventions, and tens of millions of campaign dollars later, we continue to hold that belief. While there have been dozens of polls released during the past six weeks that have had Mitt Romney up by as much as 4 points and Barack Obama up by as much 8 or 9, those variations have had more to do with sampling variations than with real movement in the campaign.
Yes, there have been gaffes on both sides that have been the focus of both the news media and opposing campaigns, but the dynamics that have been the real drivers of the campaign, the economy and deeply negative feelings about the direction of the country, have not changed. There have also been negative stories about the internal operations, messaging and strategy of both presidential campaigns. In August, leading into the Republican convention, there were multiple stories about the Obama campaign operation and internal fights about both message and strategic direction that led one to believe the wheels were coming off. Now it is the Romney campaign's turn.
Overall, Obama leads Romney by just 3 points on the ballot (50 percent to 47 percent) – which before we rounded up, is actually a 2.6 point lead and only up a half-a-percentage point from the 2.1 point lead for Obama in our last Battleground poll in early August. In our latest POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll with middle-class families, which comprise about 54 percent of the total American electorate and usually split in their vote behavior between Republicans and Democrats, Romney holds a 14-point advantage (55 percent to 41 percent). Middle-class families are more inclined to believe the country is on the wrong track (34 percent right direction, 62 percent wrong track), are more likely to hold an unfavorable view of Obama (48 percent favorable, 51 percent unfavorable), and hold a more favorable view of Romney (51 percent favorable, 44 percent unfavorable) and Paul Ryan (46 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable) than the overall electorate. These middle-class families also hold a majority disapproval rating on the job Obama is doing as president (45 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove), and turn even more negative toward Obama on specific areas; the economy 56 percent disapprove; spending 61 percent disapprove; taxes, 53 percent disapprove; Medicare 48 percent disapprove; and even foreign policy 50 percent disapprove.
(Also on POLITICO: Sheldon Adelson: Inside the mind of the mega-donor)
All of this data make clear that Romney has won the strong support of middle-class families and is leading the president on an overwhelming majority of key measurements beyond just the ballot. In fact, when respondents were asked who, Obama or Romney, would best handle a variety of issues, Romney led on all but one including the economy (+9 percent), foreign policy (+3 percent), spending (+15 percent), taxes (+7 percent), Medicare (+2 percent), and jobs (+10 percent). Ironically, the one measurement Obama led Romney on was "standing up for the middle class" (+8 Obama), reinforcing that often the Democrats win the message war with the middle class, but not their hearts and souls.
Looking at this presidential election overall, intensity among voters is high with Republicans, Democrats, and now independents, and is at levels more comparable with the final days of a presidential election than six weeks out from Election Day. In fact, fully 80 percent of voters now say that they are extremely likely to vote. Even with the past few weeks containing some of the toughest days of earned media for the Romney campaign, and perhaps as a surprise to Washington insiders, Romney continues to win Republicans (Romney by a net +87 percent) by the same margin Obama is winning with Democrats (Obama by a net +88 percent), and is still winning with independents (+2 percent). Romney has majority support with voters over the age of 45 (+7 percent), with men (+6 percent), with white women (+9 percent), and with married voters (+14 percent). In addition, Romney has solidified his base. Support among conservative voters exceeds 70 percent (73 percent), his support among very conservative voters exceeds 80 percent (83 percent), and his support among Republicans exceeds 90 percent (91 percent). Romney is also receiving a higher level of support among Hispanics (40 percent), which is driven by higher support from Hispanic men.

I have told every young person I work with, if you plan on voting in Nov. get there early vote and get the hell home.
I have a very bad feeling about this election and what may happen in some of the larger cities on election night...
Keep your eyes open and stay aware.
- Joe--PWCM Birthpangs 2012/09/24 14:31:31+2A lot more than that.
The lines have been drawn, mexicans, black, muslim, whites etc are all over the place.
Inner cities are a mess, suburbs no better, everyone thinks they are owed something and pissed because they are not getting it.
DHS buying up ammo, you have the FBI going to a kids house over a book report he did in school on Ron Paul, the government sees most of us as domestic terrorists because we don't agree with their policies.
Put it all together, with the MSM pushing racial divide even further, and it all leads to election night, and all the claims of disenfranchisement, voter fraud etc.
Its a pot that is boiling and I think election night it blows...
- Joe--PWCM Birthpangs 2012/09/24 14:37:25+1http://beforeitsnews.com/poli...
And check out the increase all over the country:
People are pissed, some because they feel betrayed and robbed, and others because they feel entitled to everything.
Nov. will interesting.
- Joe--PWCM Birthpangs 2012/09/24 14:55:04+1Its all part of what is going on.
Part of the country is pissed over immigration.
Part is pissed at NDAA
part is pissed because they are not getting enough free stuff.
Part is pissed over the UN and Clinton and their gun crap.
Large parts calling each other racist because of how they vote.
Large parts pissed at banks, and wall street.
It all comes to a head on election night. Groups will push their candidate and neither one gives a damn. Obama, Romney etc. there is no difference.
Just like there in no difference from Bush or clinton or Papa Bush.
The game stays the same, the only difference is the name at the top.
More and more are waking up, but the media still has a large portion doing what they want.

- Bob S 2012/09/24 14:21:42Other+1HAVE YOU CHECKED ALL OF THE MAJOR POLLS NOW. iT IS ABOUT 6 WEEKS SINCE THE POLLS YOU MENTION were published. Romney is trailing in just about every poll. What ticks me off the most is that the states that elected Rupublican in 2010 and have lowered the unemployment rate, the Obama fools claim the credit. A state like Virginia is giving me the ost heart burn. Romney had to shove it to Obama NOW.
- Bob S Birthpangs 2012/09/24 14:45:23+3As a Romney supported and being hopeful, I do hope that wherever you found this it is even 75% accurate. I wonder why we don't see the two in every paper every day. What am I missing here. Thanks for showing me that. It may even have made me feel a little better. Thanks for briightening up my day.

They all think of Obama's problems has to do with the Republican House blocking any legislation Obama backs and the fact that there is a black man (OK, half black) living in the WH. They call them white devils.
It is totally incredible to me that they are that stupid and ill-informed no matter what Obama does.

While looking for bloggers with cookbooks, this cookbook was suggested to me by a fellow blogger. And since then, I've found that there are tons of die-hard followers of Erin Chase's blog – $5 Dinners. So needless to say, I was really excited to dig into this cookbook! As I searched through the pages, I found that these recipes really are family friendly recipes – many reminding me of what my mom would have made growing up.
First up – Taco Macaroni and Cheese. Tacos are a favorite here at our house, and I can never get too much mac and cheese!! I have to put it out there first that I'm not basing my reviews of these recipes on the price – each meal is supposed to be able to be made for $5 or less – but I'm judging on taste. While I'm sure I could wait until all these items are on sale and stock my pantry, I bought them outright so that I could try these out. But based on taste alone – this was a great mac & cheese! I love that not only is it inexpensive, but it's fast as well. I guess that's where the "mom" part comes in!
I would definitely say this is a family friendly meal – although depending on the brand of tomatoes with chiles, the chiles might be a little spicy. But besides that, I'm sure this would be an easy one to get the kids to eat!
Taco Macaroni and Cheese
From The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook
Serves 4
Total time: 25 minutes
16 ounces elbow macaroni
½ pound ground beef
½ onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 can (6 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (12 ounces) diced tomato with green chiles
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon chopped cilantro
½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
In a large pot, cook the macaroni according to the pasta package directions. Drain and set aside.
IN a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and crushed garlic and drain excess fat. Return the ground beef and onion mixture to the skillet, and add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and milk. Stir in the cilantro, cayenne, and ground cumin, and simmer about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to form and the flavors to mingle. Add the cooked elbow macaroni to the sauce and mix to combine. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the mixture while still warm in the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt.

Love it, I like to make something like this on Friday night and slowly eat it all weekend. Then I can focus on baking.
This is definitely a comfort food classic that the whole family is sure to love!
First of all, taco mac n cheese sounds like an awesome idea, but $5 dinners sounds even better. This is a book that would be fun to look through for sure. Can't wait to see what else you cook up from it.
the nighttime munchies have hit and i'm dying to gobble this up!
Yum! I am all about tacos and my kids are all about mac n cheese! Gonna have to try this one!
I always forget how versitle macaroni and cheese can be. This looks so good…and so much better than the plain bowl I ate tonight! Thanks for sharing with me this evening. Enjoy your weekend…take time to rest, laugh and eat some great food!
I would love to find more authors wanting cookbook reviews but I don't know how to find them for my blog. Any ideas? I see book reviewer opps all the time but I want cooking books.
That's a lot like what we'd call a taco hotdish here in MN, yum!

The surface passed a morning pitch inspection and although parts of the Donnybrook pitch were frozen, referee Jerome Garces and his touch judges were satisfied that the game should go ahead after a 7pm inspection
However, shortly before the scheduled kick-off time, the England players emerged from the dressing room and their captain George Skivington was seen talking to the referee about the state of the pitch.
The referee then decided that as the temperature dropped that it was unsafe to play and called off the game.
Speaking after the decision was made, Ireland 'A' coach Michael Bradley conveyed the disappointment of his players.
"Well, obviously we would have liked to play. We're disappointed. My feelings on it are, at this point, we would like to have played it," he said.
"But a minute before kick-off, England made further representation to the referee to reconsider and he did.
"Once the referee puts the match on we're ready to go. It's the referee's decision, he ultimately has the responsibility but it was a 50-50 call."
The Ireland 'A' players will be hoping the weather improves over the course of the next week as they are scheduled to play Scotland 'A' at Donnybrook next Friday (kick-off 7.30pm).
Details of refunds for supporters who attended on the night will be published on Monday.
