Cyclones Stun No. 2 Oklahoma State! Bowl Eligible!
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State made history Friday night. With its defense keeping the high-powered Oklahoma State offense out of synch all night and an offense churning out 568 yards of total offense, the Cyclones upset No. 2 OSU in an amazing come-from-behind 37-31 double overtime victory at Jack Trice Stadium.
A crowd of 52,027 watched as the Cyclones erased a 17-point second half deficit to record its biggest win in school history. The Cyclones were 0-56-2 all-time vs. teams ranked sixth or higher coming into the game. Iowa State trumped that stat, and became bowl-eligible for the second time in the three-year Paul Rhoads era.
Jeff Woody sealed the victory on a 4-yard touchdown dive after Ter'Ran Benton intercepted a Brandon Weeden pass on the first play of OSU's second overtime possession.
The Cyclones, now 6-4 overall and 3-4 in Big 12 play, put the only blemish on the Cowboys' magical season, as OSU falls to 10-1 overall and 7-1 in the league. OSU was averaging 51.0 points per game coming into the contest, and the inspired Cyclones held the Cowboys to just 24 points in regulation.
"We've got a blue collar football team," Rhoads said. "We got a group of young men that put their hard hats on every day and just continue to go to work. I could not be prouder of the effort they put out tonight. It was complete team effort and that is what we needed for victory and that is what we delivered."
Oklahoma State went into the half with a 17-7 lead, as ISU held the explosive Cowboy offense to just one offensive touchdown in the first 30 minutes.
The Cyclone offense outgained the Cowboys, 138-80 in the first quarter, but had two long drives result in zero points. ISU marched 65 yards on 13 plays early in the first quarter, but came away empty when Zach Guyer missed a 34-yard field goal.
Meanwhile, the Cyclone defense forced two turnovers, one on a fumble by Joseph Randle which was recovered by Jake Lattimer, and the second on a Jacques Washington interception. ISU then proceeded to march 52 yards on its next series, but it ended when Jared Barnett's pass was intercepted by Shaun Lewis, who returned it 70 yards for a touchdown to give OSU the 7-0 lead.
After an OSU field goal made it 10-0, the Cyclones countered with an 8-play, 72-yard drive that was capped off by a leaping catch by Darius Reynolds from Barnett to cut the OSU lead to 10-7 with 7:22 left in the second quarter.
Weeden later hit Justin Blackmon on a 27-yard touchdown toss to make it 17-7 OSU at the break.
The Cowboys struck right away on the opening drive of the second half on a 30-yard toss from Weeden to Tracy Moore to make it 24-7 OSU, as it appeared the Cowboys were starting to break the game open. However, ISU answered on its next drive on a James White 32-yard touchdown dash to cut the lead to 24-14 early in the second quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Cyclones performed a successful on-side kick to retain possession and promptly drove the ball to down the field before the Cowboys recovered a Barnett fumble at the OSU 9-yard line. Four plays later, however, Randle coughed the ball up for the second time and ISU's Leonard Johnson recovered it at the OSU 26-yard line.
This time the Cyclones were able to convert, as Guyer booted a 24-yard field goal to cut the lead to 24-17 with 4:04 left in the third quarter.
The Cyclone defense continued to stop the Cowboys for the rest of regulation and tied the game at 24-24 with 5:30 left in the game when Barnett hit Albert Gary from seven yards out.
Iowa State got another stop and regained possession at its own 36-yard line after a Cowboy punt with 4:03 left in the game. Two plays later, Barnett's pass was tipped and intercepted by Alex Elkins, who returned it to the ISU 45-yard line. The Cyclone defense held strong again, forcing a 37-yard field goal attempt with 1:17 left in the game. But Quinn Sharp's kick sailed right, keeping the game tied at 24-24 and forcing overtime.
ISU had possession in the first overtime and scored on its first play, as Barnett hit James White on a wheel route for a 25-yard touchdown. OSU came right back, as Weeden found Josh Cooper on a 6-yard pass to tie at 31-31 and force the second overtime.
Benton then got the key interception on the first play of second overtime, Weeden's third of the game.
Barnett finished the game with a career-high 376 yards passing and churned out 84 rushing yards to lead the Cyclone offense. Gary caught a career-high seven passes for 109 yards. Jake Knott had 13 tackles to lead the Cyclone defense. ISU's 568 yards of total offense ties for the 11th-best output in school history.
Weeden ended the game with 476 yards passing, connecting on 42-of-58 attempts. Fans can purchase a DVD keepsake of the game by clicking here. DVD's will be shipped Tuesday. Fans can also purchase photos by clicking here to our online photo store. We'll add more in the coming days!

Some people get angry over the littlest of things, well some Neuroscientists say it could be because of a missing gene that affects the brain.
Scientists have identified a new gene called Pet-1, influenced behavior through the development of a certain kind of nerve cell in the unborn brain. The cells produce the chemical Serotonin, which acts as a chemical messenger.
Researchers specially bred mice without the gene and counted the Serotonin producing nerve cells or neurons in their brains. The mice with less Serotonin neurons were anxious and the mice without the gene and less Serotonin became aggressive.

ELM GROVE - Bob Montgomery has seen enough baseball games during the past four decades to know that what's on the scoreboard doesn't necessarily tell the entire story about a game or the direction a team is headed.
Sure, the veteran coach was happy with John Marshall's 7-5 victory against Wheeling Central on Monday afternoon at the J.B. Chambers Youth Sports Complex. But he was far from satisfied.
''We came out with the 'W,' we did that,'' he said. ''But we just can't seem to put an entire game together.

John Marshall's Matt Zelic dives back to first as Wheeling Central's Brian Shaw applies a late tag.
''We had a nice opener against (Wheeling) Central and a nice game (Monday) until the last inning.
''We came away with the win, but where we've been and where we'd like to be ... we still have a long way to go.''
The Monarchs (9-8) jumped out to a 7-1 lead before watching the Maroon Knights (4-10) claw their way back in their final at-bat.
Wheeling Central scored four runs to draw to within two and had the winning run at the plate before JM got the final out.
''I like the life we showed there,'' Wheeling Central coach Jim Wodusky said about the last inning. ''We had a little pep in the dugout and maybe this is contagious.
''Hopefully, they can see what a little excitement can do for your teammates.''
However, like Montgomery, Wodusky said his team is a work in progress.
''We're still putting too many guys on base for free,'' he said. ''Against teams like JM, you're not going to put guys on base like that and not pay for it eventually.''
He's right.
The Maroon Knights committed an error and walked two batters to help fill the bases with Monarchs with two out in the third.
Jeremiah Fromhart took advantage, lacing a single to left scoring Chris Minder and Shane Wellman to give JM a 2-1 lead.
Jeremy Betras followed with a single to right scoring pinch runner Jerreck Waldrum to make the score 3-1.
The Monarchs scored again with two outs, this time in the fourth, when Mitch Whorton snuck a hit past second base scoring Matt Zelic and increasing the lead to 4-1.
''Fromhart had a big hit and then Whorton had another one that really pumped us up,'' Montgomery said.
While JM was coming up with timely hits, Wheeling Central struggled. The Maroon Knights stranded nine baserunners the first five innings.
Much of that had to do with the work of JM pitcher Wellman. While shaky at times, Wellman stayed steady, striking out six in working into the seventh.
In the sixth, the Monarchs got runners on third and second with nobody out.
After Tanner Filben popped out, Minder brought both runners home with a double to left that made the score 6-1. Whorton plated Minder moments later.
Nick Bakaitis singled to start the bottom of the seventh. Nick Naumann singled two batters later. Justin Hammers followed with another single scoring Bakaitis making the score 7-2.
J.D. Griffith laced another single scoring Bakaitis trimming the deficit to four.
Two batters later, Joe Minor singled to plate Hammers and Griffith and make the score 7-5.
After leadoff batter C.J. Burch was hit by a pitch putting runners at first and second. Joe Gwynn flew out to center to end the threat.

Report: Pizza Hut coming to old Abio's location
Published: Friday, April 25, 2014 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 25, 2014 at 5:45 p.m.
It appears piping hot pizzas will soon be coming out of the oven again at 2377 SW College Road, just as they've done almost continuously since 1980.
However, the oven won't belong to longtime tenant and Ocala institution Abio's Italian Restaurant, which closed in January. Instead, the strip mall space will apparently be home to a new Pizza Hut.
On Friday, Mid State Builders Exchange posted on its website, www.msbe.com, a listing inviting general contractors to post bids for work on a Pizza Hut restaurant at the College Road address. MSBE expects plans to be available on May 1, the listing indicated.
Officials with Yum Brands, Pizza Hut's parent company, did not respond to requests for comment on Friday afternoon. The 1,800-square-foot space would appear to be suited to a Pizza Hut express location featuring pickup or delivery service only.
Al DiFeo, owner of Abio's, closed the restaurant in January after almost 34 years in the same location. His lease was up Dec. 31 and while property owner Paul Meadows said he offered DiFeo the chance to stay, DiFeo said he would have faced a steep rent increase. Meadows told the Star-Banner in January he had a tenant to succeed Abio's "who's interested in a long-term commitment and is willing to make a substantial investment."

A monumental week for the Supreme Court
(Page 2 of 2)
Speaking of voting, the Supreme Court also struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. According to the Washington Post, "Section 4 creates a formula that determines what states should be subject to Section 5, which requires states to submit any changes to election or voting laws, or alterations of state legislative or congressional lines, to the Justice Department for approval."
The problem is that the current formulas used to determine which states are subject to the requirements of Section 5 are based on statistics dating back to the 1950s and the Jim Crow era. The four liberal dissenters on the court cited a fear that the country was heading back to that time.
But those formulas are discriminatory and no longer relevant. For example, states can have a ballot test, such as a literacy test, to determine whether someone can vote, or use a formula based on whether less than 50 percent of eligible voters were registered to vote by November 1964. Basically, any state or county that had a history of racial discrimination when it came to voters' rights was forced to seek pre-clearance for alterations to district lines.
Clearly, things have changed in this country since the 1960s. These statistics were based on 40-year-old voting data that does not reflect the current political conditions of states or district lines in the U.S.
Unfortunately, it will now be up to Congress to devise a new formula to replace Section 4, and since Congress is divided, it looks like the Justice Department will be responsible for drawing district lines.
President Obama was among those who sided with the dissenters in this decision, and publicly expressed his disappointment. Mr. President, as the Wall Street Journal rightfully pointed out, this country twice elected you, the first African-American president. We have surely come a long way toward racial equality since the 1960s.
Let's unite, not divide.

Champion Vintage Racing EnginesWritten by Thom Taylor on October 16, 2013 Contributors: Hot Rod Archives Where It All Began
It's the beginning of 1965, and the American performance engine landscape is changing. The elephant in the room, the 426 Chrysler Hemi, is gaining favor when mixed with nitro and a quarter-mile. The 289 Ford is selling like crazy in the new Mustang, and Chevy's 425hp big-block is the top engine option in Corvettes, Chevelles, and big sedans.
Champion Spark Plug wanted to promote its involvement in high-performance engines and racing by toasting the builders and tuners, taking the best the Big Three offered and transforming them into monster motors capable of winning on long and short courses, at the dragstrip, and on the water. Ace HOT ROD photographer Eric Rickman was on hand to chronicle what Champion had to show. From our 2013 perspective, it's great to see how the engines looked and were finished, the different fuel injection and carb combos the builders were using, and how they were configured.

Alaska Center for Rural Health - Alaska's AHEC
The Alaska Center for Rural Health (ACRH) was created in 1987 by rural health care providers, educators, and administrators. Our mission is to help strengthen systems to deliver comprehensive and culturally relevant health care to rural Alaskans. It serves all aspects of Alaska's rural health system: Native and non-Native, physical and behavioral, within all disciplines and settings in order to help solve our state's health care delivery problems.
In 2005, ACRH secured a federal designation through the Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) to serve as Alaska's Area Health Education Center (AHEC) - the first nationwide to be awarded through a School of Nursing. The AHEC established a statewide university-industry partnership focused on strengthening, diversifying and improving distribution of our health workforce.
Specifically, it works in three distinct areas:
The ACRH - AHEC Program Office is housed within the Office of Health Programs Development at the University of Alaska Anchorage and is advised by the School of Nursing and the AHEC Steering Committee. In turn, the AHEC Program Office contracts with health industry partners that support and host AHEC Centers, serving distinct geographic areas. The AHEC Program Office and Centers work to synergistically bridge the gap between professional training programs and under-served populations.

BOOK EXCERPT: Losing bin Laden
"BOOK EXCERPT: Losing bin Laden" Continued...
NEAR KHOST, AFGHANISTAN-When Osama bin Laden decided to publicly declare war on the Western world for the fifth time in the Clinton presidency, he called a press conference that began with gunshots. It was May 1998.
Each of bin Laden's previous declarations of war had essentially been ignored by the Clinton Administration. The arch-terrorist first publicly declared war on America on October 12, 1996. "It is the duty of every tribe in the Arabian peninsula to fight jihad and cleanse the land from these Crusader occupiers. Their wealth is booty to those who kill them."
Amazingly, the Clinton Administration largely ignored bin Laden's plain threat. One reason might have been timing. With less than three weeks to go before the 1996 presidential election, Clinton was thinking about re-election, not national security.
Meanwhile, bin Laden upped the ante. In a February 1997 Arabic-language television interview, bin Laden declared, "If someone can kill an American soldier, it is better than wasting time on other matters." He thought it was his duty, his moral obligation, to kill American soldiers-and again, the Clinton [administration] did not respond.
Bin Laden turned up the volume. On February 23, 1998, the "World Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders" issued a fatwa, a declaration of war, signed by bin Laden. (Bin Laden had taken control of the group only weeks before, according to Al-Sharq al-Awsat, a London-based Arabic-language newspaper that serves as a bulletin board for militant Muslims.) The Front announced its desire to kill all Americans, even civilians. The edict was explicit. "The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies-civilian and military-is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it." This marked the first time that bin Laden had publicly declared war on American civilians, although it was his third declaration of war. Again Clinton said nothing and did nothing.
A few months later bin Laden appeared on al-Jazeera television and said, "Our enemy is every American male, whether he is directly fighting us or paying taxes." It amounted to bin Laden's fourth declaration of war.
The May 1998 press conference held in the hills near Khost, Afghanistan, was to be bin Laden's last declaration of war before his most devastating attacks on Americans yet....
Dressed in white robes with his beard combed straight, bin Laden emerged and slowly moved forward. He seemed serene and serious. Without any introductions, he began speaking in Arabic and paused only for al-Qaeda interpreters to render his words into local languages. It was a long-winded speech. From the beginning, it was clear he was declaring war on the West, principally America.
"By God's grace, we have formed with many other Islamic groups and organizations in the Islamic world a front, called the International Islamic Front, to do jihad against the Crusaders and Jews.
"And by God's grace, the men reacted to this call and they are going on this path and they are doing a good job. By God's will, their actions are going to have a successful result in killing Americans and getting rid of them."
Bin Laden was working himself into a frenzy. Tears rolled down his cheeks and his voice broke as he talked about the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia. To him, it was an unbearable abomination. A personal affront. The Americans were infidels and their garrisons propped up a corrupt, insufficiently Islamic Saudi elite. His jihad would humiliate the American interlopers, crush them, drive them out, and stain them with defeat.
What drove bin Laden to issue his fifth declaration of war on America in May 1998? Aside from his stated ideological reasons, some longtime observers of bin Laden suspect a psychological motivation. In Paris, one senior French intelligence analyst told the author he believed that bin Laden was hoping to provoke a showdown between his forces and American troops in the wastes of Afghanistan. His theory is interesting, though unverifiable: A war in Afghanistan would allow bin Laden to relive the anti-Soviet jihad of the 1980s and, after a long Vietnam-like conflict, he would defeat America, the world's sole remaining superpower. After such a historic victory, he would be a Muslim hero on par with Saladin, who drove the Crusaders from Jerusalem in the twelfth century. In this new Afghan jihad, unlike the last, he would be a commander, not a quartermaster. (The September 11 attacks would have the same motivation, according to this theory: to lure America into a war in Afghanistan, which bin Laden was sure he could win.) The idea that he, bin Laden, could lose never seems to have occurred to him.
In 1998, bin Laden wanted a provocation that even Clinton could not ignore. He had already selected the martyrs for the operation. One of them was a short, bearded man named Mohammed Rasheed Daoud al-Owhali. Unknown to the journalists gathered to listen to bin Laden in May 1998, al-Owhali was among the crowd of gunmen that day. Soon he would be on his way to Nairobi to murder and mangle thousands.
LANGLEY, VIRGINIA-Instead of fighting bin Laden, President Clinton spent 1998 fighting for his own political survival, as he faced a series of devastating scandals that involved accusations of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, perjury, sexual harassment, and illegal campaign contributions. By May, Clinton's lawyers were filing endless, futile motions to stop an array of government officials from testifying before a federal grand jury. The Monica Lewinsky scandal began when the former White House intern filed a false affidavit, claiming she never had a sexual relationship with Clinton, on January 7, 1998. A few days later, Linda Tripp turned over tapes of phone calls with Lewinsky revealing that the former intern had knowingly filed a false affidavit-and appeared to have done so at the behest of the president. Witness tampering and obstruction of justice are both serious crimes, if proven. But Clinton did not stop there. On January 17, Clinton denied under oath that he accepted sexual favors from any employee. This would later prove to be false, adding another serious crime-perjury-to the charges against him. On January 26, Clinton had famously said that he "never had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." This was no crime, merely an expedient lie. Politics as usual.
Other scandals would quickly follow. On February 3, a Democratic campaign contributor was taken into custody by the FBI. Another Clinton-Gore campaign donor, Maria Hsia, was indicted on February 18, on charges stemming from illegal contributions raised at a Buddhist temple in California. More questionable campaign contributors would come to light when Johnny Chung struck a plea bargain in March. On March 15, Kathleen Willey appeared on 60 Minutes, saying that Clinton groped her in a room near the Oval Office. This would appear to demonstrate a pattern of sexual harassment-the very pattern that former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones was trying to establish in court.
While Clinton was consumed by scandal, the CIA and the FBI tried to fight bin Laden. Referring to bin Laden and other terror masters, the Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet, had testified before a closed-door session of the Senate Appropriations Committee in May 1997. "I think we are already at war," he said. "We have been on a war footing for a number of years now."
What this "war footing" amounted to was a series of vital, but small, bureaucratic steps. The CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center (CTC) had established a special bin Laden unit in January 1996. By 1998, more than one hundred case officers and intelligence analysts were serving on the bin Laden station. With the help of the CTC, forty terrorists from the former Yugoslavia were captured and turned over to Arab governments, usually Egypt. Egyptian security is believed to have tortured, tried, and executed many of them. In this way, al-Qaeda cells were quickly smashed in Albania, Bosnia, and elsewhere.
But these small successes were not followed by broader and stronger measures. These would have required presidential decisions and Clinton was too sapped by scandal to make them. Instead, American intelligence agencies spent their time gathering data, information that would never drive Clinton to act....
Al-Qaeda had been planning to attack the embassy in Nairobi since 1993. Ali Mohammed, the double agent who worked for both the FBI and al-Qaeda, confessed to taking surveillance pictures of the U.S. embassy during a visit to Nairobi in 1993 and providing them to bin Laden in that year. Mohammed also trained many of the terrorists involved in the August 1998 attacks.
On their drive toward the target, Al-Owhali and Assam sang religious songs to keep up their morale.
The van glided around the corner of the embassy and headed to the rear parking lot.
Now came al-Owhali's task. He opened the passenger door, stepped out, and threw a hand grenade at the Kenyan guards. The defective grenade did not explode, but the guards fled anyway.
Al-Owhali was supposed to get back in the van and die, but, instinctively, he started to run away instead.
Assam, the driver, drove on toward martyrdom.
Seconds later, the van exploded. The blast reached out in all directions. It punched upward into the embassy's chancery building, tearing it apart from the bottom up. It smashed the face of a seven-story bank building near the embassy and shattered windows for blocks. The crowds on the sidewalks were smacked to the ground or buried under tons of concrete rubble.
In an instant, 256 people were dead and another 4,500 were wounded.
Strangely, al-Owhali was not among them. Hot flying rubble and glass had cut his face, hands, and back. But he was able to get up and walk away. Miraculously, the martyr had lived....
ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN-Days after the embassy bombings, Clinton was searching for nonviolent solutions to the bin Laden threat. He would try a final, secret diplomatic offer. It is reported here in full for the first time.
He sent U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Bill Richardson to the capital of Pakistan in the second week of August 1998. Richardson's most important meeting was the one not listed on his official schedule-a secret meeting with the Taliban.
The Taliban representative, Mullah Mohammed Rabbani, was one of the few Taliban leaders who spoke English and one of the many who wanted better relations with the United States. It wasn't that the Taliban had warmed to the "great Satan." The Taliban's radical Islamism was as fevered and intense as ever. But economic sanctions and the Taliban's diplomatic isolation were taking their toll. Only three nations on earth recognized the Taliban government as legitimate. United Nations relief convoys had stopped rolling, and private humanitarian groups had fled. Hunger grew and hospitals began reusing bandages. Even the Taliban realized that as the displeasure of the ordinary Afghans swelled, an anarchic tide threatened to sweep them from office.
Richardson had met with Rabbani months earlier in April 1998, and that meeting had gone reasonably well. The mullah made some encouraging remarks about improving girls' access to schooling and ending the harassment of non-Muslim nonprofit groups. Later, Maulvi Abdul Wakil Mutawakil, a member of the Taliban's ruling council, publicly announced that the Taliban would turn over bin Laden if it received "conclusive proof" that bin Laden was a terrorist.
Days after the embassy bombings, Richardson came armed with definitive proof of bin Laden's link to the attacks. Following Clinton's instructions, Richardson asked Afghanistan to expel bin Laden, just as Sudan did two years before.
This demand seems to illustrate how distracted Clinton had become by scandals. Clinton had long been seen as a "policy wonk's policy wonk," a man who was in command of even the most minute details about government policy. But somewhere Clinton the Ÿber-policy wonk failed to recognize that expelling bin Laden had been tried in the Sudan. A relocated bin Laden had now blown up two American embassies and murdered some two dozen Americans along with hundreds of luckless Africans. It was one of the largest attacks on American civilians since World War II. Why would repeating this failed expulsion policy work any better this time? Wouldn't it simply provoke another attack?
Rabbani politely declined to expel bin Laden. Apparently, the Taliban's earlier pledge to turn over bin Laden if given conclusive proof of terrorism proved to be so much hot air. The Taliban had adopted a Saudi Arabian notion of hospitality-bin Laden was a good Muslim, a guest of the regime, and therefore could not be expelled. In reality bin Laden had other attributes the Taliban valued. He supplied weapons, ammunition, and military training to the Taliban. In some cases, al-Qaeda troops even fought alongside the Taliban's militias against the Northern Alliance. And bin Laden had shrewdly married off one of his teenage daughters to a son of Mullah Omar, the Taliban's one-eyed leader. They were family now. Asking the Taliban to remove bin Laden was mission impossible. Again, something he should have known before ordering Richardson to Islamabad.
Within an hour, Richardson called Clinton on a secure telephone line. No deal. No surprise.
A gregarious southern politician, Clinton had assumed he could cut a deal with anyone. Just like LBJ. And, like LBJ, he refused to see that Communists and Islamists were unappeasable....
NEW YORK-In a public room in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria hotel, in September 1998, [counter terrorism czar] Richard Clarke stepped up to the podium. It was a rare public appearance by the ultimate insider.
He wanted to talk about America's Achilles heel. "Where is that?" he asked. "It's here. It's in Manhattan and Washington, D.C. It's where we are weakest, where we don't have two thousand troops and tanks and bombers to protect the U.S. It's where our national brain trust is."
He did not know just how prophetic his warnings would be.

The cover art and tracklist have been revealed for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film Western Django Unchained.
The soundtrack, releasing to retail and digital on December 18th, features contributions from Rick Ross, Tupac, James Brown, Anthony Hamilton and more. The film's star Jamie Foxx takes on production duties for Rick Ross' track "100 Black Coffins."
Tarantino released a statement giving props to the soundtrack's contributors. "I want to thank all the artists who contributed original songs (a first for me) to the picture. Most of these contributions came out of the artists' own inspiration and their illustration of the film's soul is invaluable," said Tarantino. "In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack - many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60's and 70's, I wanted to use the vinyl I've been listening to for years - complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people's experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time."
Django Unchained will release to theaters on December 25th. Check the tracklist and cover art below.
1. Winged
2. Django (Main Theme) - Luis Bacalov, Rocky Roberts

I randomly came across this news item earlier today: The Fattest Place on Earth. Nauru, population 14.000 has the highest obesity and diabetes rates in the world. ABC News decided it might set a valuable example for the fattening population of the USofA -an most of the western world. According to the ABC 95% population in the island are overweight and 80% of the male population are clinically obese. 50% of the population suffers type II diabetes. The message is simple enough: processed food will kill you if you only feed on it. Big news, right? Now, can we just blame the food for this obesity pandemics? I'm sure a sedentary lifestyle doesn't help, and the reporter notes that the Government of the little Republic is in fact trying to encourage its population to be physically active sponsoring free aerobic lessons. Unfortunately, due to a fuel shortage, attendance is low. Wow. That is a shocker. The Island is 10 times smaller than Amsterdam. Cycling at 15 km/h, it would take you less than 2 hours to go around the whole island. Yet, you only see two -and a half- bikes through the whole video. The reporter openly questions the food, but not the car culture that somehow makes it impossible for people to go to an aerobic lesson in a tiny island due to a fuel sortage. In fact, the first thing he does is drive around the island using the only paved road available. It takes him 17 minutes to cruise its 24 km. How come walking and cycling to places is not an option in such a small place? Western civilisation has created a good number of evils, junk food is no doubt one of them, but the sedentary lifestyle associated to it is playing a big a role in the obesity pandemic. If we are going to go around pointing fingers and trying to educate the audience into a healthier lifestyle, maybe we could start with car culture. <img data-cke-saved-src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2623/3941750997_4caa23e62a_z.jpg" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2623/3941750997_4caa23e62a_z.jpg" width="600" height="450 alt=" super="" dad"="">
Let's question the logic that linked car ownership and progress, that brought the sprawl and multiple car lane streets inside cities. Let's question the need -or even the point- of counting calories and driving to the gym. Maybe there is an easier solution: ride a bike, walk to places and eat sensibly. Stay active.
Just for reference, obesity rate in The Netherlands is at 10%. But of course, this doen't mean that everyone you'll see around looks like Barbie or Ken, that's just silly, isn't it?

Rough Linen: Hand Sewn Linen Bedding
Store Profile
- Location: Online
- Specialty: Linen bedding handcrafted in Marin, California
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: roughlinen.com/index.html
Store History
- Founded by: Tricia Rose
- Headquarters: Marin, CA
My name is Tricia Rose. I found this homespun, hand sewn linen pillow slip while I was clearing my grandmother's cottage in Scotland. It was made by her great-grandmother, in 1840, and was in regular use for three generations. When it came to me I used it to store lavender. Years later, by good fortune, I found a natural linen with the same wonderful texture and feel, and I decided to make bedding in this simple, elemental tradition. I wanted the feeling of connection, appreciation of good materials and handiwork which is part of my heritage, as part of my everyday life . I hope you love it as I do. With care, it should last a hundred years.
Maxwell shined a spotlight on the Rough Linen Duvet Cover as yesterday's Daily Find, bringing my attention to Tricia Rose's hand sewn linen line. As a fan of handcrafted and sustainable products, I clicked over to the Rough Linen website and was delighted to discover the story behind the genesis of this line.
It all started when Tricia Rose found a hand sewn linen pillow slip while cleaning out her grandmother's cottage in Scotland. Dating back to 1840, this simple linen pillow slip had survived three generations and was still going strong. When she first took the slip home, Tricia used it for storing lavender. It wasn't until a few years later, when Tricia found a source for natural linen with the same simple qualities of that old pillow slip, that she decided to start making her own bedding.
Rough Linen offers five different fabric options: Orkney, a traditional homespun domestic European linen, White Orkney, the same as Orkney but bleached to achieve an off-white coloring, Smooth White, a double width pure Belgian linen sheeting, Smooth Natural, the same as Smooth White but undyed, and St. Barts, a middleweight linen.
In addition to bedding — which includes sheets, duvet covers, shams and more — Rough Linen also produces curtains and table linens.

First off, forgive me if these are really stupid questions, but I am not seeing what I need in the help screens or the Wiki. I am a new Zimbra User. We just installed the open source version this weekend and I have now downloaded the desktop client on my desktop (I am a Windows XP user). I use an Iphone currently for my calendaring and sync it with my outlook calendar via MobileMe. (We do not use an exchange server) Since we have the open source version rather than the Professional version, it does not appear that I can use any of the built-in Iphone compatibility features. I believe my best option is to migrate my calendar to the Zimbra calendar and access it using Safari. After that long intro, here are my questions:
1. Am I correct that I cannot use any of the Iphone compatibility features with the open source version?
2. How do I import my calendar from Outlook?
3. Does anyone have a better suggestion for accessing my calendar?

Z28 RecreationWritten by on September 10, 2004 Contributors: Wes Allison Giving "From the Ground Up" a Whole New Meaning
The term "ground-up restoration" gets bandied about quite a bit in our hobby. Depending on whom you talk to, it may merely mean that a classic Chevy has been thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. On the other hand, it may mean that said Chevy has also been reconditioned with appropriate replacement parts in place of items that have worn out over time, bringing it back to off-the-assembly-line condition. Then there's Rick Kirkindall of Irving, Texas. Kirkindall uses the term "total ground-up restoration" in reference to his '73 Camaro Z28, but that description falls far short of reality, which is that this second-gen F-body was stripped down to bare bones and resurrected as an almost entirely new car, and the results are stunning.
As with most enthusiasts, the seeds for future projects were sown in earlier years. Kirkindall had a '701/2 Z28 RS four-speed, red with black stripes, deluxe interior, and matching numbers. It wasn't that nice, a fact that, ironically, provided the impetus to create such a high-level '73. "Vision was the bottom line here," Kirkindall explained. "As kids we had a Mustang or a Camaro, the car of our choice, but none of the cars were ever nice. One day when I was able, I wanted to build a world-class car." We'll let you be the judge on that issue, but when it comes to Kirkindall's efforts in building this Z28, there's no doubting that he went all out.
Kirkindall didn't tell us much about the condition of the '73 when he bought it in his home state of Texas, but Swiss cheese was mentioned, so you can imagine what the old Z28 must have looked like. And if you can't, we'll paint you a slightly more graphic picture. Kirkindall totally disassembled the car and then literally cut it apart, right down to the trunk extension piece, the floorpans, the filler panel between the rear glass and the trunk, and anything else he could get at. The chassis, what was left of it, was sent off to Metal Rehab of Ft. Worth, Texas, where it was chemically stripped and E-coated to look just like new. Kirkindall then went on a shopping spree.
"I started seeking every panel," he told us. "Look at how straight the car is, how everything fits properly, and that was the whole purpose." We'll go along with that, but do have to comment that the list of parts that were still sitting around from GM is pretty incredible. Kirkindall came up with an N.O.S. replacement header panel, along with the lower valance, fenders, core support, bumpers, turn signals, bezels, grille surround divider, the lower front spoiler and braces, mirrors, and even replacement weatherstripping. And he even found a new Rally Sport urethane bumper face. Who knew Texas Chevy dealers were so well stocked with '73 Camaro parts? The few things that Kirkindall didn't find N.O.S. were sourced from Goodmark: a trunk floor, the inner dropoffs, doorskins, and the 21/2-inch cowl hood. Advantage Paint & Body, in Dallas reassembled the practically all-new body, and sprayed the slick black-stripes-on-white hues.
Take the lengths Kirkindall went to create a perfect Camaro body and go even further, and you'll have an idea of what went into the suspension underneath. Brink Racecrafters started the good work here by minitubbing the Z28, allowing nice fat P315/35R17 Yokohamas to fit inside the expanded wheelwells. A Martz Chassis Rally & Road Race subframes was installed up front; a stout 1-inch swaybar, Aldan coilovers, and Wilwood brakes are standard fare on these units.
During the '03 Power Tour, when we photographed Kirkindall's Z, the rear suspension consisted of Koni shocks, Hotchkis swaybars and leaf springs, and a Competition Engineering Slide-A-Link setup. The suspension has since been taken a step further with the addition of a Martz rear Rally & Road Race subframe, which brought another 1-inch swaybar, Aldan coilovers, and a four-link system. Mike Minette Enterprises then linked the two subframe assemblies with subconnectors, in essence giving the unibody Camaro a spanking new frame. Rebuilt from the ground up, indeed.
Kirkindall certainly didn't neglect the '73's engine compartment. The short version is that Kirkindall had Dick Alen of Dallas Export >> Sales create a 427ci powerplant based on a Dart Little M small-block filled with great goodies from Scat, Lunati, and Crane. Breathing through ported and polished Airflow Research 227 heads and fed by a Holley Commander 950 EFI system, the package churns out 460 hp and 525 lb-ft of torque. With that power connected to the rear wheels via a Richmond six-speed and a narrowed 9-inch rearend, those fat gumballs out back are probably a good idea.
The interior appointments garnered equal attention. Mike Minette created the rollbar, along with the aluminum dashboard, console, and door panels. Kirkindall filled out his working space with replacement pieces from National Parts Depot, along with Auto Meter gauges, Sparco seats, and a Momo steering wheel, while a Vintage Air A/C, an Eclipse stereo with a JL Audio amp and Polk speakers provide creature comforts.
That little detail, perhaps, sums up Kirkindall's rendition of the ground-up restoration. "Some pay people to put together a car," he told us. "I put this one together. I totally disassembled it, then reassembled it. I installed the front and rear suspension, the motor, the trans, and the interior. I wouldn't say it's my pride and joy, but it's close." And since he literally built it from the ground up, we would guess it's very close.

No, children, it does not.
But today I am participating in something called Wine Blogger Wednesday. For the first time.
It's been going on for about four years but I've never been able to get my sh*t together and participate.
One Wednesday a month, bloggers taste a wine and comment. There's a theme as set by the host. So today it is "Brought to you by the letter S".
The 'S' in my Gewurztraminer is the fact that I made it at Township 7, which has an S.
It's crisp, assertive, slighty spicy and full of fresh pear and apple. We blended three vineyards to get the depth and dimension. To me, as much as I like Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, this Gewurztraminer tastes like summer in the Okanagan Valley.

You can spend a long time looking for a wine site, based in BC, that day-in, day-out provides the same kind of quality wine reviews as Sean Calder's Vinifico. Actually, you'd be hard-pressed to find one this good outside of BC.
Sean acts like my point man in the market place. He's out there tasting and giving his two cents worth and that helps me find wines that are helping me compare and contrast my own projects. He has a liver of heroic description.
In the past, Sean has been assisted by fellow wine buff Graham. Not sure if that arrangement still exists but, nonetheless, they both have great palates.
Check out Vinifico before your next trip to the bottle shop.

One of the most popular wine blogs is Tom Wark's Fermentation.
Lately he's posted some revelations that I think would be good reading for anyone in the wine business (or just a wine lover) who is taking stock or just looking back on their life and wine.
It's here.
Have a read, grab a bottle of Rose and just muse on your own set of revelations.

There's nothing else like it around here. If you or someone you know wants the ultimate wine country experience they should check out Naramata Unfiltered.
Visitors and residents looking for the definitive BC wine-centric package will find it here.
Great accommodations, fantastic food, scintillating personalities and tons of different wines. It's a top-notch production.

Last week I was pleased to hear that the Township 7 2006 Reserve Chardonnay Harmony One Vineyard was awarded best of class 'double gold' at the All-Canadian. This was in the Chardonnay Over $20 category so I suppose that means it is one of the best Chards in the country. Thanks to all who helped me make this wine and to our fine growers at Harmony One. Year after year H1 produces excellent fruit.
If you're considering getting your hands on a case or a bottle, please do it now. There's about 60 cases left from the original 225.
Our regular Township 7 2006 Chardonnay was awarded a gold at the NW Wine Summit and the 2005 Reserve Chardonnay Stone Mountain Vineyard received a silver.
Overall, it looks like Township 7's Chardonnay heritage is shining through.
Contact Township 7 directly at 604-532-1766 or 250-770-1743 to obtain these wines.

I've never participated in a meme exercise. Usually because of a time crunch or because it doesn't have any reference point for my blog. This one doesn't either but it was sent to me by a wine and food blogger I respect and I'll honour her with this response. And I'm officially on vacation.
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.
I'm going to add a wine to the end of each one that should accompany the music.
1. For some reason I was humming "Born Free" while standing at the corker station on the bottling line yesterday. I think it was the Andy Williams version, who I always enjoyed because he was short and the way my Mom got all dreamy eyed when he sang "Moon River". Amarone
2."Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake" by Grandaddy. Not sure who these guys are but this song is so hook filled and techno rythmic that I find it irresistable. The lyrics are cryptic yet familiar, like a scene from a David Lynch film. Tempranillo.
3. "Happy" by Keith Richards as performed by Sheryl Crow and Keith and an allstar lineup at a Central Park (NYC) gig a few years back. I've always like this rollicking, goofy tune. It's almost impossible to sing without sounding like you've already had a few pints too many. Cabernet Franc from the Okanagan Valley.
4. "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" . My eight year old has this Offspring ditty at the top of his list right now so we listen to it at full blast on the drive to school in the morning. Every morning. I love all the dated pop culture references (Ricki Lake?, oh yeah, I remember her). Really clears the cobwebs like a good Zinfandel.
5. I was thinking about Vancouver rocker Bif Naked and her battle with cancer lately and couldn't help recall "I Love Myself Today" and the great video that accompanies it. I hope she whips it. Hard-edged female singers attract me 'cause they're hot and scary. But Barolo shouldn't be.
6. "Theme from Jaws" by John Williams. The kid is into sharks in a big way and seems to be unfazed by the giant plastic shark devouring people in this 1975 Spielberg masterpiece. He walks around the house going da dum da dum da dum dadumdadumdadumdadum.
So I do to. Pinot Grigio
7. "Cold Hard Bitch". Seems a bit bitter, no? This Jet tune certainly rocks out and showcases the band's pedigree. Hard to sit still with this one on. You can brood while you boogie. Cab Sauv and blends of such.
Now who should I tag?

Hybrid highway
Economy | Fueled by pump prices, a growing number of car owners are pushing reluctant auto manufacturers into stealth mode
Ever since Stephen McGrogan picked up a screwdriver and turned his Toyota Prius into a stealth car, he's had problems. More accurately, others have had problems with him.
"I was in Orchard Supply going to pick up some stuff," he said, when an employee asked Mr. McGrogan to follow him through the warehouse. Mr. McGrogan flipped off the gas engine and rolled into the California chain's home improvement warehouse on what he calls "stealth mode," or silent battery power. "We were rolling along and I thought, 'This is going to bother him in a little while.' Sure enough, he spun around and stopped. I rolled up next to him, put the window down and said, 'It's electric.'"
While the hybrid gas-electric Toyota is sold in other countries with the capability of running off batteries with the engine fully off, Toyota disabled the function on Priuses sold in the United States. The move drove Mr. McGrogan, a Bay Area electrical engineer, and hundreds of other Prius owners to spend less than $100 for a kit, pick up a screwdriver, and rewire the car to unlock the function.
Mr. McGrogan is just impatient, that's all. And he believes he's on the upswing of a revolution. Hoping to inspire automakers while saving money at the gas pump, Mr. McGrogan and hundreds of other tinkering Californians are turning their Priuses into gas-sipping, post-mod hotrods on ice-or juice.
Spurred by meteoric gas prices that reached an average of $2.61 per gallon in August, other car owners are soon to be impatient like Mr. McGrogan, too. Hybrid sales in the United States have taken off. Last year, automakers sold just 85,000 hybrids to U.S. consumers. This year U.S. hybrid sales are expected to reach 215,000, according to a J.D. Power and Associates study.
Excitement about Toyota's Prius helped vault the Japanese automaker past Chrysler for the No. 3 spot in U.S. sales. In fact, Toyota says that by 2012, 25 percent of its cars sold will be hybrids. In light of impressive sales, Ford, Chrysler and even General Motors-once called road-kill on the hybrid highway-have all promised to dip more than a toe in the hybrid market. But it's not environmentalism or innovation that has brought Detroit's Big Three automakers fully into the hybrid car game. It's the bottom line-or perhaps more appropriately, survival instincts.
GM and DaimlerChrysler plan to develop jointly an advanced hybrid engine. GM plans to release its first hybrid SUV in 2007. Still, the best-selling automaker is cautious. "From a strict business proposition, this is not where we would make an investment," said Bob Lutz, current executive and one-time chairman of GM, at this summer's 2005 Detroit Auto Show. "It's not clear that you'll ever be able to recapture the cost of a hybrid in the pricing. But what we forgot in the equation was the emotional aspect of it."
Emotion is part of the drive for Mr. McGrogan, whose real problem now is that the 50 or so miles per gallon he can get in his Prius is no longer enough for him. Driving his Prius out of his neighborhood every morning in stealth mode is one thing, but how far could he get by adding more batteries? "I desperately want to plug that car in," Mr. McGrogan said. "All my driving could be done off an electrical outlet." That's the longing of many Prius enthusiasts, some of whom will spend thousands hot-wiring their cars with trunks full of batteries and a plug. They see the future car powered mainly by American coal and nuclear plants, not by foreign oil. In short, they see their autos as garage-sized electrical appliances.
Another Prius fan and electrical engineer, Ron Gremban, also of the Bay Area, took his modifications one step further. He installed a trunk full of batteries and a plug, and rigged his hybrid Prius to run on a mixture of 50 percent gas and 50 percent batteries. Like normal hybrids, the batteries recharge when the car brakes. But when Mr. Gremban gets home, he can also plug his Prius into an electrical outlet. Even with California's high energy prices, the kilowatt hours from the plug cost just a fraction of what it costs to create energy even in the Prius' efficient gas-fired engine.
If he doesn't wander too far from home, Mr. Gremban says he can get 80 miles per gallon. (Some plug-in hybrid pioneers claim to have gotten 250 mpg.) If he drives too far, he simply flips the car back into standard hybrid mode and maintains the car's normal efficiency. But fuel economy doesn't come cheaply. Mr. Gremban, who tinkered with his Prius for the grass-roots CalCars plug-in hybrid initiative, says he spent months of time and $3,000 before he got results.
Dave Hermance, Toyota's executive engineer for advanced technology vehicles, said Toyota discourages this sort of experimentation. He says hacking into the Prius and rewiring it will void part of the warranty. "You can be quite confident of that," Mr. Hermance said. "They'll end up getting what they deserve. We ought not have to warrant people hacking into the system."
He says other factors make the Prius a poor candidate for a plugged-in vehicle. In its electric-only mode, the engine can't handle speed of more than 35 mph. Much faster without the gas engine started, he says, and "the transmission will blow up."
Tinkerers with CalCars like Mr. Gremban hope they can prove the viability of plugged-in hybrids without waiting for car manufacturers to do it for them. "That's a different discussion," Mr. Hermance said. "But the reality is that today, any battery that can get you 20 miles-if you want to store enough energy to go 20 miles, you're talking about a very expensive battery that will have limited life." Just like batteries in laptops and cell phones, the charging and discharging of large battery packs in cars would shorten the battery system's lifespan. "And then you would have a huge replacement cost," he said. "Today's economics say we can't make a business case out of it. But we'll keep monitoring the technology."
Today's hybrids
Toyota Prius II
cost: $21,000; $25,000-$30,000 nicely equipped
mpg: 47.9
engine: 1.5L 4 cylinder / 110 hp
The Prius is the most well-known hybrid, but getting one can be hard. Long waiting lists have kept some buyers waiting for months. Could it be the hottest hatchback ever?
Honda Accord Hybrid
cost: $30,000
mpg: 29.9
engine: 3L V6 / 255 hp
No one can call this Accord frumpy. It's the fastest family sedan on the market. It burns rubber without burning too much of the ozone layer.
Honda Civic Hybrid
cost: $20,000
mpg: 44.9
engine: 1.3L 4 cyl. / 93 hp
The economy of a hybrid without the disorientation of learning how to drive a Prius. Comes in a manual transmission which scores even better in fuel efficiency.
Honda Insight
cost: $19,000
mpg: 56.0
engine: 1L 3 cyl. / 71 hp
Cessna is to jumbo jet as Insight is to a typical American SUV. Even so, reviewers said Insight had enough get-up-and-go to get on the freeway. And the standard transmission version nets 65.2 mpg.
Ford Escape Hybrid (2-wheel drive)
cost: $27,400
mpg: 30.2
engine: 2.3L 4 cylinder
Last year, the Escape was all the rave. But low output (Ford only produced 20,000) and disappointing efficiency (many owners have reported low 20s for MPG) mean Toyota and Lexus have stolen Ford's thunder in the hybrid SUV market.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid (2-wheel drive)
cost: $33,000
mpg: 25.0
engine: 3.3L V6 / 268 hp
The hybrid assist makes the Highlander quicker than its gas-only counterpart. Lexus' RX 400h hybrid is basically the same hybrid engine in a different wrapper (and $10,000 extra cost).
Gas mileage estimates according to GreenHybrid.com's database of nearly 1,000 hybrid owners logging fuel efficiency over more than 10 million miles. As the hybrid community is fond of saying, your mileage may vary.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Wednesday, we are probably going to find out what the iPhone 5 looks like and does, and already hopes are incredibly high.
Sales of the iPhone 5 are expected to hit new records that could boost the Nation's GDP numbers. So far, Apple has sold 244 million iPhones since the phone launched in 2007.
So what do you do if you have an old one you are about to replace?
A couple of ideas:
What's the big deal about this whole thing? Apple recently became the most valuable U.S. company in history. Currently, there is not a single cell phone that has even come close to selling as many units as the iPhone. The major manufactorers are all in some sort of turnaround so they aren't in the best positions to challenge Apple.iPhone's subsidy typically runs about $400 per device.

General comments
Conceptually, I like this approach. The whole "Date of Work/Date of Expression" has not sat well with me from the beginning -- how does one define _A_ date to be associated with an abstraction. So the more generalized "Chronological information for" construction has great appeal. I observe two caveats though.
- 1) the changes involved go beyond merely changing the element names/paragraph headings -- revision of the text will be needed as well -- although I will assume the current edits were limited to paragraph headings in the interest of gauging support before investing in wholesale revision efforts.
- 2) the dual application of "Nature of Date" subelement to the "Date of ..." and "Additional Date of ..." subelements will likely raise red flags with the data modelers. There may be merit in formulating a single subelement "Date associated with ...", coupled with a single "Nature of date" subelement, and then a further mechanism to indicate the "primacy" of a given date for use in controlled access point construction, display, etc., -- this could be a further subelement or a specified hierarchy within the rules for the "Nature of date" vocabulary.
To respond to the questions:
- 1. Yes;
- 2. Yes;
- 3. Yes, make a specific subelement for Work and Expression (for clean data modeling);
- 4. See caveat 2 above, and the possible inclusion of a "primacy" indicator when multiple dates are applicable and recorded;
- 5. Yes, again, see caveat 2 about data modeling;
- 6. It should be permissible to record as many dates are as available and as the cataloger deems appropriate to record, although I hadn't considered the possibility of duplicating the same date for a related Work and Expression -- I think some further exploration and some examples would be helpful to the discussion -- I don't want to see information duplicated needlessly but I could also see where the same date is the mutual distinguishing point between one related Work-Expression pair and another Work-Expression pair;
- 7. I think yes, if a "primacy" subelement is not developed, per my discussion under caveat 2 above;
- 8. Don't know, other than parsing out the particulars to the answers in 1-7. I leave the controlled vocabulary questions to those with more experience in that area -- we have already had lengthy discussions in CCDA regarding the arrangement of lists into strictly alphabetical sequences vs. categorized sequences -- it is to be hoped that an online tool would facilitate arrangement according to the display preference of the user, rather than requiring the sequence be pre-ordained (although a decision would be necessary for a print manifestation of RDA).
MYERS, CCDA liaison to the MAC, 2013/08/20
I have some problems with this discussion paper. While I generally support the idea of identifying the nature of the date associated with a given work or expression, I think this paper is lumping too many things together (especially in the context of 6.4).
Specific concerns:
- 1. Introducing Latin! RDA carefully removed almost all occurrences of Latin; I do not support using "terminus ante quem" in a definition. Wouldn't it be sufficient to somehow indicate that the date is cataloger-supplied?
- 2. Defining the date of the work as "the earliest date prior to which the work is assumed to have been created." If I'm understanding this correctly (and if the text proposed in 6.4.X.1 is supposed to be folded in to RDA as written), this means that if I know the date of creation is June 13, 1953, the date I would record in the Date of Work element is June 12, 1953 -- right?
- 3. Including instructions for "Additional date for work" and "Additional date for expression". Once new information is obtained that better defines the date of creation of the work or the expression, the "work record" or the "expression record" should be updated with that information, and the outdated information removed. (Well, at least as "actionable" data. I think it could be preserved in a note-like structure.) The date of publication (or production) is known through manifestations and does not need to be in the work (or expression) record unless that is the only way the date can be supplied.
- 4. Recording multiple dates for the work as part of the chronological information about the work. The example on p. 6-7 is especially troubling. The known creation date for Berlioz's Te Deum as a work is Oct. 1848-Aug. 1849. All of the other examples in the table are related to expressions. There is no reason that information about the work should contain these kinds of dates for expressions -- that's what the date of expression element is for.
So, to answer the questions on p. 7:
- 1. Somewhat.
- 2. Somewhat.
- 3. Repeat.
- 4. No.
- 5. No; pick one as primary. Perhaps a hierarchy will be needed.
- 6. One date (or date range).
- 7. Perhaps; a series of use cases would be helpful in determining this.
- 8. None.
As to the final two questions on p. 7, it's clear that EURIG would propose controlled/registered vocabularies for all of the "nature of date" possibilities. Does CC:DA agree with this conceptually? If so, is there anything missing? (At this point, we could be fairly general in saying what general categories are missing.)
Kathy Glennan (talk) 07:56, 21 August 2013 (PDT)
I like what this discussion paper is trying to do. However, there are many issues that bug me but I am having trouble expressing why. Maybe it's the abstraction issue mentioned by J. Meyers. Maybe it's the fact that RDA does not have sections or definitions for date of manifestation and date of item (which are so much easier to grasp in the first place). Instead, instructions to record dates of manifestations and items have been included in the sections on how to record date of manufacture, date of production, date of publication, date of distribution. Part of me would like to see something to mirror these instructions applied to date of expression.
Also, I am not too crazy with the new headings proposed ("Chronological Information for Expression," "Preferred Chronological Information for Expression" and "Additional Chronological Information for Expression") in part because I associate the word chronological with some kind of order from the earliest to the latest but more so because everything under these headings has to do with dates:
Chronological Information for Expression
-Preferred Chronological Information for Expression
--Date of Expression
--Nature of date
-Additional Chronological Information for Expression
--Additional Date for Expression
--Nature of date
Why do we need a different heading if everything has to do with dates? I am wondering if EURIG has thought about using simply the phrases "Date of Expression" and "Other Dates Associated with Expression" and "Date of Work" and "Other Dates Associated with Work" or just even just "Date of Expression" and "Date of Work." The sub-element "Nature of Date" would explain what the date is about.
Also, as Kathy pointed out, EURIG should be more careful when listing dates for work not to add dates of expression.
1. Somewhat
2. I don't like the wording (see above)
3. I think repeating is a better option if EURIG uses the structure presented in this discussion paper.
4. None that I can think of
5. I don't think so at this point.
6. I would prefer just one date; if there are more than one, only one should be core.
7. I think there should be an order of preference.
8. None that I can think of
—Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, Aug. 23, 2013
Just a short, hopefully not an ignorant, question: The example of Berlioz' Te Deum has a date of work as the range over which it was created, October 1848-August 1849. Should that not be a single date, the date it was finished? Otherwise, how could you ever say when a work was created, if you have to take into account the range over which the author worked on it. Presumably the author mulled it over in his head before he even wrote anything down.--Patricia Dragon (talk) 09:02, 26 August 2013 (PDT)
Patricia, both FRBR and FRAD define date of work to include single dates or a range of dates. RDA is not as explicit in its guidance, but I think 188.8.131.52 could be interpreted to include a range: "Date of work may be the date the work was created or the date the work was first published or released." It's quite common for longer musical works to have a range of dates over which they were created, and I have worked with music manuscripts where the composer actually noted the time period over which he created the work (say Sept. 7-14, 1948). In a case like that, I think it's fine to have a range of dates for creation. Kathy Glennan (talk) 10:39, 26 August 2013 (PDT)
Members of MusLA have expressed agreement with Glennan.
Speaking for myself, I don't necessarily object to the idea of recording information about expressions (and even publications) of a work at the work level. I know it sounds like a contradiction in terms, but isn't it possible to make statements about a work's history of being expressed and manifested, applicable at the work level? Thinking in practical terms, we mainly use the authority file for works, more so than for expressions. Wouldn't it be kind of convenient to have the information about the expressions right there in the work record, assuming no great need for separate records for the expressions? We have already been giving information like this in unstructured ways in 670s of work-level NARs.
I agree with Dominique that there's nothing wrong with calling a date a date.
Tracey Snyder, MusLA, 8/26/13

Little Rock, AR (Sports Network) - Ben Dillard scored 17 points off the bench
as the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans cruised to an 83-58 win over the ULM
Warhawks in Sun Belt Conference action at the Jack Stephens Center.
Dillard connected on 3-of-6 shots from behind the arc and all four of his free
throws for UALR (6-3, 2-0 Sun Belt). James White shot 5-of-8 from the floor en
route to 14 points and Will Neighbour had 13 points and six boards.
Jayon James led the Warhawks (0-4, 0-2) with 15 points, but he turned the ball
over eight times, one less than the entire Trojans' starting lineup. Marcelis
Hansberry scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting off the bench.
ULM came out as the aggressors and led by seven after the first official
timeout. UALR rebounded and took its first lead on a Dillard jumper late in
the half and led 32-27 at intermission. ULM struggled at the foul line, making
just 3-of-8 in the first half.
The Trojans opened the second half on an 8-2 run to increase their lead to
double figures. They pulled away by holding the Warhawks to 37.9 percent from
the floor over the final 20 minutes.
UALR has won five of its last six games and leads the all-time series with

Spurs can't ease up despite 2-0 lead on Grizzlies
SAN ANTONIO If the Western Conference finals seem the slightest bit over after two San Antonio wins, hold that thought for a minute.
The Spurs have been here before and don't feel at all comfortable with a 2-0 lead. And if there's any team that's not fazed by such a hole, it's the Memphis Grizzlies.
With the series shifting to Tennessee for Game 3 on Saturday, it's just starting to get interesting.
Tony Parker had 15 points and a career playoff-high 18 assists, Tim Duncan scored San Antonio's first six points of overtime and the Spurs bounced back after squandering a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the Grizzlies 93-89 on Tuesday night.
"I think everybody understands that we haven't done anything yet," Parker said. "We just protected our home court."
After outplaying the Grizzlies by a wide margin for the first seven quarters, the Spurs finally showed a little weakness while letting Memphis finish regulation on a 15-2 run to tie it at 85 on Mike Conley's runner with 18.2 seconds left.
Duncan opened the extra period with a layup, and then hit a tiebreaking putback on Parker's missed jumper. He then made a runner that bounced high of the back iron and rattled in for a 91-87 lead with 1:08 to play.
The Grizzlies had a chance to tie after Jerryd Bayless hit a jumper and Parker missed one of two free throws with 14.6 seconds left, but Bayless' 3-pointer from the left wing was off-target.
"I hate that we gave up that big of a lead in that situation," said Duncan, who had 17 points and nine rebounds while missing most of the second half with foul trouble. "But we were resilient enough to go to overtime and not let it affect us."
A 2-0 lead hardly seems safe for the Spurs, who certainly haven't forgotten how they won the first two games of last year's West finals before losing four in a row to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And the Grizzlies have already rallied once after losing the first two games in a playoff series this year, coming back to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in six in the first round.
"We feel like we can get this next game and we have to play with that same confidence that we've always had at home," said Conley, who had 18 points to match Bayless for the team lead. "This series is far from over, and we have to believe that."
After trailing by as much as 18 in the second half, the Grizzlies got the chance to pull even after Manu Ginobili was called for a flagrant foul for pulling down Tony Allen by his left arm on a fast-break layup try with 26.1 seconds left.
Allen hit both free throws and Memphis got possession, setting up Conley's tying basket at the end of a string of seven straight Grizzlies points.
"We were a bit tired. I could see it more in Tony. He was our engine for the whole game," Ginobili said. "He was the one getting us shots and creating for others. We ran a little flat."
Up until the final stretch, Parker had been in control for 2 1/2 quarters.
Parker kept San Antonio humming along after Duncan went to the bench with four fouls, the last three picked up within a span of 30 seconds, early in the third quarter. Parker provided the assist on the Spurs' first seven baskets of the second half, and then scored the next two on mid-range jumpers before getting pulled for a rest with a 72-54 lead.

I have ate tag soup 4 times in colorado, so now I am ready for some meat. I know I am after what everyone wants public land and lots of elk. Thanks for any help. Also how many points do I need? Trying to get my hunts lined out for the next few years. Thanks again
