New Castle County Council unanimously approved the proposal for a deed restriction amendment on the Rockwood Apartments off Del. Route 40 to allow for aesthetically pleasing peaked roof structures and the rezoning of the Walker Farm in Hockessin to allow for development of 47 townhomes and single family homes.
New Castle County Councilman Bill Bell (D-Middletown) sponsored the ordinance for Rockwood Apartments while Councilwoman Janet Kilpatrick (R-Hockessin) sponsored the ordinance for Walker Farm.
Land use attorney Shawn Tucker, of the Drinker Biddle & Reath law firm, represented both development projects.
Bell said the applicant for Rockwood Apartments, Queensbury Village Inc./Pettinaro Construction, made a presentation to the 7 & 40 Alliance, the umbrella civic group based in Bear, and there was no opposition to the lifting of the deed restriction for Rockwood Apartments.
In addition, the revised deed restriction would actually bring the property up to current code and bring it more in character with the area, Bell said. And there would be no increase in density of the development.
Council passed that resolution 13-0.
As for the Walker Farm, the Greater Hockessin Area Development Association and Charter Oaks did not oppose the rezoning of the farm at this point given the extensive scrutiny and vetting of the project, Kilpatrick said. The developer had made concessions as a result of those discussions, she said.
Councilman John Cartier (D-Holly Oak) said he was pleased to see the historic barn structure preserved on the Walker Farm.
"It's great to see a developer use an existing, historic building," he said.
Bell commended Kilpatrick for bringing the community and the developer together on this project.
"Getting the support of GHADA is very important in Hockessin," he said.
Kilpatrick said she appreciated the sentiment but she said she did nothing special.
"We have a strong community that understands we need a balance in development," she said. "There has to be a balance to keep the community thriving."
Council also voted for this measure 13-0, with most citing the favorable recommendation made by the NCCo Department of Land Use and the Planning Board.

This thread is about a poor man's untimely gruesome death - there's no time for nostalgia now.
Never heard it. I got acquainted with the Thomas the Tank Engine theme via proximity to the extremely young children's ward.
So back on track.... a guy getting hit by a train. That poor man. I mean, how could he have not heard it coming!? But stupid people will always be stupid people...
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
And you're a truck.
Great, now I have this stck in my head...
Anyway, I wonder if that guy had any family. They must be horrified everytime they see this.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
it's thomas the tank engine. not thomas the train
i tried to find the reason that you guys call it 'Thomas the Train' but there's no mention of it anywhere. was the show actually titled 'Thomas the Train'?
When you don't have any contact with something for a number of years, sometimes your brain simplifies terms related to the subject.
Thomas is a train, therefore "Thomas the Train"
It's Thomas the tank engine you fucking thicks. Just Wikipedia it up before ruining a thread made in the memory of a good guy.
I wanna do a comic where the trains on Sodor come in contact with the Allspark and transform into giant robots.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Thomas: *upon transforming into a robot* I feel...like I'm...in my prime!
Percy: Maybe we should call you "Thomas Prime"!
Thomas: No, Percy. Just...no.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
I revisit this video once every few years to remind myself how beautiful and fragile life is.
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
not as good as "man getting hit by football"
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Pour a forty for my man who got hit by the train

World Bicycle Relief Sea Salt Bar
May is bike-to-work month, and we're celebrating locally and globally. We've created a special bar combining our intensely flavored dark chocolate with the zing sea salt to feature our partner, World Bicycle Relief.
A portion of the proceeds from every bar will go to support World Bicycle Relief's B.E.E.P. (Bicycles for Education & Empowerment Program). This is a program within the organization that provides locally assembled and specially designed bicycles to students, teachers & health care workers in rural Africa. The program focuses on sourcing and manufacturing locally whenever possible and also commits to training bicycle mechanics in care and repair to further support the program.
Imagine if as a child, in addition to the average school day, you had to walk 12 kilometers to and from school—over five hours round trip—while also getting up early enough to perform family chores, another one hour or more time commitment. That's a possible14 hour day for child, not including time for meals, homework, and play.
Bicycles give time.
What a bicycle means to a child rural Africa:
- A safe & reliable way to get to school
- Huge decrease in commuting time
- Help in complete family chores faster
More time leads to...
- Increase in student attendance
- Improved child safety
- More girls in school
- More energy for study
- Improved test scores
- Reduction in early pregnancies & marriages for girls
- More possibilities for future livelihoods
"We are partnering with World Bicycle Relief to advance our mutual efforts to create economic and educational opportunities in African communities. WBR's programs align beautifully with Theo's own in that they emphasize cultivation and support of sustainable livelihoods for people. At Theo, we believe this is the most impactful way to effect positive, long-term change." - Joe Whinney, Theo CEO and founder
Bicycle distribution through WBP's B.E.E.P. program:
- 70% to school children
- 30% to teachers, school volunteers & health care workers
- *of those bicycles given to children, 70% go girls because of their unique challenges accessing education

Mitigating Cheating & Voter Fraud in Online Contests…
We run online contests of various sorts that involve users voting on entries (usually one vote per user per day). The prizes range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Over the last four years we have encountered a number of ways people try to cheat, and have implemented couter-measures in each case. As it stands, we use the following measures:
A user must create an account and authenticate (log in). This rules out anonymous vote stuffing.
Email Confirmation
A user must confirm their email address by clicking a link in a system email to confirm they own and have access to their address. This rules out creating accounts en masse using random (not necessarily valid) email addresses. It also slows down the process a little for one account, and a lot if you're trying to create many.
No Gmail Address Aliases
Users cannot use instant alias addresses such as email@example.com. That slows down potential cheaters.
Additional Measures
We routinely audit our signups and voting rosters for strings of email addresses that come from the same private domain (firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, etc.). We also look for similar names, usernames, and "local-parts" of email addresses across domains.
Needless to say, this is all exhausting and getting harder and harder to scale up. We need a simpler solution to ensure that we get a lot closer to "one person, one vote" in our contests, while not burdening the user beyond need in the process.
SMS Pin Verification
We assume that the typical user has no more than one mobile number. By allowing them to send a pin to their mobile phone via SMS text message, we could verify that the associated account were unique. (We would only allow one account per mobile phone.) If the user doesn't have a mobile phone or is not receiving the SMS message, they would be able to call us during business hours for a manual validation.
Is account verification via SMS text message asking too much of users wanting to vote in an online contest? Have we overlooked better solutions?
We decided to forego SMS verification. Instead, we have a number of ways to detect bad signups and eliminate them, leaving us with (mostly) trustworthy accounts.

text: This event reminds me of a story about Janis, and it involves Ahmet Ertegun. There was a party at my home in Los Angeles, while Janis was recording the Pearl album, and Bob Krasnaw was there, and Ahmet was there, and Janis sort of spontaneously sang "Mercedes Benz" to the applause of the gathered people in the record business. And Ahmet kind of smiled at her and said, "If you come upstairs with me for a while, I'll let you record the song." And perhaps typical, Ahmet had no interest in the song, but he was, you know, going for it. As far as I know, nothing happened. Janis never went through the motions. She gave every bit of herself in every way, and in every aspect of her life. I can remember being scared to death while she was driving on the windy part of Sunset Boulevard at 90 miles an hour, in her famous Porsche. And of course, you've seen just now, and know about the incredible passion with which she sang. Another part of Janis was kind of as a philosopher, in a way, in the society of the '60s, and I think of her in terms of three elements: be true to yourself, as Laura just said; having respect for other people; and being compassionate. Thank you on behalf of Janis.

Thoughts From The First Two Games
A few random thoughts from the first two games of the current Twins-Tigers series:
-Though going 16 innings and losing is bad enough for players and fans alike, I really can't pin the blame on anyone in particular. The Tiger bullpen was just throwing gas, and the Twins' batters were (by and large) having decent at-bats. They just couldn't string enough hits together to get that elusive run across the plate.
-The Twins showed a little moxie today after Liriano gave up the big fly to Magglio Ordonez to give the pinstriped ones their short-lived lead. In a game that needed to be won, the Twins came up with some clutch at-bats and were able to get the job done. Now, we just need to take care of business tomorrow and things will be okay again.
-I never like to see a pitcher like Kevin Slowey go on the disabled list, but hopefully this will give him some time to either: A. get his wrist checked out, or B. get his mind right and back in that groove he had been in until a week or so ago. Swarzak can probably fill in decently for Slowey, but we need Kevin back to his Brad Radke-esque form, where he can pitched deep into games and always give us a chance to win.
-I really think that Denard Span and Carlos Gomez need to stop fighting over outfield assists. Eventually there is going to be a nasty train-wreck out there if they don't get on the same page. I think the problem is that both players, being center fielders by natural position, are used to calling off all other fielders (usually the CF's perogative) to catch the ball. However, Span is playing out in left alot recently, and in the back of his mind he probably knows that Gomez doesn't take the best routes to balls but will scream for the catch anyway.
-Former Cubbie star Mark Grace was showing some serious love for the M&M boys today in the FOX TV broadcast. Well-deserved, too, as they contributed to most of the scoring. I look forward to watching them in the All-Star Game (which the roster for will be released tomorrow, by the way).
-Finally, today's Fourth of July holiday also marks the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig giving what is now famously known as his 'Luckiest Man" speech. I know that the Iron Horse was second-banana to The Babe for so many years, but in that moment he showed what was truly in his heart all that time…kindness, gentleness, yet a competitive spirit that made him choked up over being taken out of a lineup when he was actually dying. It still gives me goosebumps every time I see it. Greatest first baseman of all-time? Yes. Is there really any other serious competition?!
-Of course, for a little lighter holiday fare, you could check out the annual SciFi Channel Twilight Zone marathon. Still a creepy show all these years later!
Preview (42-40, 2nd, 0.5 GB CWS for 2nd): Rick Porcello (8-5, 3.90) vs. Nick Blackburn (6-4, 3.10). Need to win this series…that is all.

I was beginning to think Deer Tick had been a rock 'n' roll mirage. After falling in love with their debut and seeing two blazing concerts, I thought they were more than just a good alt-country band, but while their second release was solid, the two follow-ups had largely been let-downs.
However, their new album, "Divine Providence," available Tuesday, affirms that Deer Tick is the real deal and will be around as long as they want to be. While the punkier sounding album doesn't quite equal the lyrical imagery and spontaneity of the band's first release, "War Elephant," it's likely their second best album – and that's good enough.
What's also refreshing is the band is more comfortable now featuring other members besides frontman and group founder John McCauley handle vocals, and drummer Dennis Ryan excels singing the creepy "Clowin' Around, while uitarist Ian O'Neil shines on "Now It's Your Turn," even if the piano riff is awfully reminiscent of the Rolling Stones' "Memory Motel."
And speaking of the Stones, another strong track is the lyrical doffing of the cap to the Rolling Stones courtesy of "Main Street," which drops a few famous Stones song and album titles for its chorus, it's a clever ploy and makes for one of the best songs on "Providence."
Fortunately, McCauley is still at the middle of the DT circus in all his red-eyed romantic glory on "Miss K," the Chuck Berry-by-way-of-The-Ramones-raveup of "Something To Brag About," and even channels folkie icon John Prine on "Chevy Express."
One plus about the album is it makes a great intro to the band for newcomers, the band's booze-fueled excitement is on display in "Let's All Go To the Bar," and its spastic lonely-guy imagery is retooled inside "Make Believe." In the end, it's all pure Deer Tick and it seems these guys are here to stay.
And to those of us who were caught up in their sound from the start, that's a relief.

The Colorado Department of Transportation begins improving a four-mile segment of U.S. 50 through La Junta tomorrow, a project consisting of rotomilling and paving, bridge enhancements, new guardrails, handicap ramps, signing and striping.
Beginning on Tuesday, drivers can expect single lane closures on eastbound and westbound Highway 50 (East and West First Street) from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Occasional, short traffic stops are possible to allow construction vehicles in and out of the work zone.
The project area is between County Road 27 and 30.25. The 35 mph speed limit remains in place between the East and West Third Street intersections, with a 40 mph speed limit in effect at the east and west end of the project.
Vehicles wider than 12 feet will not be allowed through the work zone and need to use an alternate route for the duration of the project.
"This project is providing a number of improvements for both the City of La Junta and the traveling public," said CDOT Project Engineer Tom Bronniman. "We're paving Highway 50, which will provide a much smoother road surface for at least the next 10 years. But other enhancements include waterproofing the bridges [at King and Anderson arroyos], which will increase their years of service. And, the new handicap ramps will enhance mobility for non-vehicle traffic on Third Street."
A&S Construction Co. of Canon City is the contractor for the $4.8 million project. It is scheduled for completion in October 2014.
Additional information and updates are available by calling the project hotline at (719) 285-6037 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com
Traffic information about this or other CDOT projects is on the cotrip.org website, by calling 511 or via subscription email.

Can exercise prevent osteoporosis?
Bingfen Grace Yu, MD, is a board-certified physician in internal medicine at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: Can exercise help prevent osteoporosis? If so, which exercises are the most effective?
Answer: Yes it can. In fact, recent studies have shown that the risk of osteoporosis is lower for people who are active, especially for those who do weight-bearing exercises at least three times a week. For those unfamiliar with this disease, osteoporosis is a progressive thinning of the bones that occurs over time for most people. Although it is mostly seen in women, osteoporosis can also affect men as they age.
How does exercise help prevent osteoporosis? It's simple really: Muscle pulling on bone builds bone, so weight-bearing exercise builds denser, stronger bones. It's never too soon to add weight-bearing exercises into your weekly exercise routine.
In fact, the more bone mass you build before age 30, the better off you will be during the years of gradual bone loss. It has also been shown that exercise can help you maintain bone density later in life.
The best exercises for building bone density include:
- weight-lifting
- dancing
- hiking
- jogging
- stair-climbing
- step aerobics
- racquetball or tennis
- any other activities that force your muscles to work against gravity.
It's best to combine several different weight-bearing exercises, increasing resistance or weights as you build strength, for the greatest benefit. If you can do 30 minutes of weight-bearing exercise daily, you'll not only benefit your bones, you'll make your heart stronger, and increase overall muscle strength, coordination, and balance. Those 30 minutes don't need to be done all at once, either. It's just as good for you to do 10 minutes at a time. Lastly, do your best to make exercise fun; you're more likely to continue doing it for life.
If you already have osteoporosis, you might wonder whether you should exercise at all. The answer for most people is "yes." But first talk to your doctor to learn what types of exercises you can safely do to preserve bone and to strengthen your back and hips.
Keep in mind, however, that exercise alone can't prevent or cure osteoporosis. Sufficient calcium intake is also very important. It's recommended that adults get at least 800 to 1,200 mg per day of calcium from their diet. If you don't get enough calcium from your diet, your body will take the calcium it needs from your bones, causing them to become weak and brittle.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolina88 They make me smile every morning I ordered 12 originally and they have held up very well with my family of 6, even the 2 teenage sons. We use them for breakfast & lunch dishes as they are the perfect size for toast and eggs, or sandwiches etc. They also work for dinner if you are having a light meal. I love the colors and the whimsical design. Ordered 12 more so I can replace them as they break. LOVE them!!! October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BSmith Elephant plates I loved the plates I ordered when I saw them , they arrived in tact , and very quickly - I unpacked them and they were all in excellent shape and exactly what I had hoped for October 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaggieMae48 Exceeds my expectations - absolutely PERFECT! I purchased these to go with some dinner plates I have from Tunisia and they are beautiful together. The Tunisian salad plates are more than twice the price of these so I will purchase two more sets of the Nomad plates to complete my service for 12 and save money while increasing the beauty of my table. Very happy with the weight, the craftmanship and overall design...I think I will also buy bowls and possibly the mugs.....These are my every day dishes. September 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mmmheart So happy with purchase! I always forget that World Market exists because it's on the FAAAAR end of town. What a relief they periodically send out those coupons! I was perusing the site for dishes and came across these but noticed they were sold out online. Luckily, they were in my city's store! Went in tonight with coupon and purchased them with 4 coordinating dinner plates. I am so happy with the purchase! I think the 2 plates look great together. We plan to buy vintage amber whitehall glasses to go with them! My boyfriend eagerly said "Let's eat Indian on them!" ha. I hope we can keep them from chipping for awhile. Cute print AND dishwasher/microwave safe (the only kind of plate this lazy gal wants). I'm a big Anthropologie fan and these plates remind me of what they might carry...but at a better/lower price point. :) July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philloet Outstanding plates I ordered one set awhile ago and have been waiting for them to come back in stock. Just received my second set and they perfect. Carefully packaged. Such a gorgeous pattern. I am not an elephant lover,but the color design and quality of these plates changed my mind. I recently ordered the Nomad dinner plates so I will have a service for eight. I will probably order the bowls as well. It has been years since I wanted a match set of plates but these are too beautiful to pass up. I will use them every day . Thank you for this wonderful dinnerware. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ssmy Gorgeous! Gorgeous plates.... packaged well, no scratches or cracks in any of the plates when I received them! May 7, 2014

In 1893 Hadamard proved that:
$$\xi(s) = \xi(0) \prod_{\rho} \left(1- \frac{s}{\rho} \right) \left(1- \frac{s}{1-\rho} \right)$$
where $\xi(z) = \frac12 z(z-1) \pi^{-\frac{z}{2}} \Gamma(\frac{z}{2}) \zeta(z)$ and $\rho = \sigma + \gamma i$ is a non-trivial zero of $\zeta(s)$ (i.e. $\gamma_n$ is the imaginary part of the n-th $\rho)$).
Riemann had already conjectured this in 1859 and since he needed an 'always real' function for his next thought steps, he assumed $s=\frac12 + t i$ and defined the function $\Xi(t)=\xi(s)$ that has been proven to be equal to:
$$\Xi(t)= \Xi(0)\prod_\gamma\left(1-\frac{t^2}{\gamma^2}\right)$$
It is known that $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$ and $\xi(s)=\overline{\xi(\overline{s})}$ and this implies that $\xi(s)\xi(\overline{s})$ must be real. Also known is that when there is a non-trivial zero $\rho$ lying off the critical line, then also $1-\rho, \overline{\rho}, \overline{1-\rho}$ must be zeros and their product will always be real:
$$\displaystyle\prod_\gamma\left(1-\frac{s}{\sigma+i \gamma}\right) \left(1-\frac{s}{\sigma-i \gamma}\right)\left(1-\frac{s}{1-(\sigma+i \gamma)}\right) \left(1-\frac{s}{\overline{1-(\sigma+i \gamma)}}\right)$$
This brought me to the following conjecture. Suppose $s=a+t i$ and $\Xi_a(t)=\xi(s)$ so $\Xi_a(0)=\xi(a)$, then the following product holds and is always real:
$$\Xi_a(t)\Xi_a(-t) = \Xi_a(0)^2\prod_\gamma \left(1-\frac{t^2}{\gamma^2}\right)\left(1-\frac{(-t)^2}{\gamma^2}\right)$$
or simpler:
$$\Xi_a(t)\Xi_a(-t) = \left(\xi(a)\prod_\gamma \left(1-\frac{t^2}{\gamma^2}\right)\right)^2$$
Numerical tests indicate that the conjecture is correct, but I am obvioulsy keen to find a proof (I do realise this is a way too big of a question to ask here!). Does anybody have a link that explains how $\Xi(t)= \Xi(0)\prod_\gamma\left(1-\frac{t^2}{\gamma^2}\right)$ has been derived? Also appreciate any other thoughts/steers on how to further progress this conjecture.

Metadata for Long-standing Large-Scale Social Science Surveys
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 16-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 25, 2016. Please be advised that, depending
on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 16-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The American National Election Studies (ANES), General Social Survey (GSS) and Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) are long-term survey projects that form key research infrastructure for the social and behavioral sciences. The value of these three projects depends in part on data accessibility and ease of use. These data dissemination activities provide value far beyond the original data collection effort. That value consists of providing access and tools that enable dissemination to a wide range of user communities-- from social scientists to advance knowledge and test theories, to teachers in secondary schools to explain basic statistical and analytic methods, to citizens outside of the higher education and research communities who use the data to generate basic descriptive statistics and graphs.
The ANES is a 60-year time series of survey data collections that began in 1948. The ANES conducts national surveys of the American electorate during election years as well as conducts research and development work through pilot studies. The ANES is considered the 'gold standard' data source for election studies; it sheds light on how American democracy works by exploring the causes and consequences of citizen opinion, vote choices, and electoral outcomes. The GSS has provided data on contemporary American society since 1972, serving as a barometer of social change and trends in attitudes, behaviors, and attributes of the United States adult population. The GSS is a nationally representative personal interview survey of the United States adult population that collects data on a wide range of behavioral items, personal psychological evaluations, and demographic characteristics of respondents and their parents. Lastly, the PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of US families that began in 1968. The PSID is the world's longest running nationally representative panel survey. With over forty years of data on the same families and their descendents, the PSID is considered a cornerstone of the data infrastructure for empirically-based social science research in the US and the world.
Over the course of the extensive survey cycles the three survey projects have accumulated important metadata, or "data about data" including technical reports, survey instruments and other information that describe the survey process. These metadata exist in many different formats (text and non-text-based) and have been stored in different ways depending on the date of the original data collection, the available technologies at that date (paper, scanned into PDF, and other formats), and access to storage facilities. Currently, these metadata are not in a format that allows for easy analysis within any one survey and the surveys do not have common data formats that would enable analysis of data across surveys. The lack of metadata limits the usefulness of the legacy data from early survey waves. Researchers interested in using the data under current conditions must invest significant time and effort to understand the data structure. This limits the ability of interdisciplinary scientists to analyze data from two or more of the surveys. And finally it limits the availability of the survey results from all three surveys to the broad public that is interested in questions about democracy, family well being, and social attitudes.

10:00 to 11:00: Eye On Earth: Eye on Disaster Management
16 Jun 2012 - 16 Jun 2012The frequency and intensity of natural disasters in recent years has increased insignificantly as has the loss of life and property from these events. As such there is a heightened awareness of the need to better anticipate threats and risks, plan more disaster resistant communities and infrastructure, responds more quickly to events, and help communities and ecosystems to recover more effectively. This consideration within the context of sustainable development is considered through Eye on Disaster Management.
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
To facilitate more effective disaster planning and response as well as climate change adaptation, The Eye on Disaster Management Special Initiative proposes a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to strengthen existing networks and support Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and disaster resistant community development and resiliency in the most vulnerable communities and countries in the world. During this side event a Panel of leading experts in this field will share their thoughts with the Eye on Earth Community on:
- How data and information can be used to manage disasters from initial impact
- Why we need Eye on Disaster Management
- How immediate response makes the difference
- What happens when Disaster hits? Why immediate access to environmental and societal data and information is critical for immediate response

On February 11, 2013, Robert Lockwood Jr.'s custom 12-string electric guitar was placed on permanent exhibit in the Roots of Rock and Roll galleries at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Lockwood Jr.'s widow, Mary Lockwood, joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in presenting the famed bluesman's unique guitar, which was his primary instrument until his death in 2006 at age 91.
Lockwood was taught to play the guitar by fabled songwriter and guitarist Robert Johnson, the first modern bluesman, and recorded as a solo artist for more than half a century. In this clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story behind the guitar Lockwood called "the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen" and why Lockwood was crowned the king of Cleveland blues.

Sit Novaks white ass down, he's garbage right now.
Woody loses 10 cool points for that lineup
How was that not a foul by Wade?
Novak missing three open threes in a row. not. good.
Kind of seeing here why Miami Heat are not a team you want to play in a best of 7 series. They play relentless defense regardless of who is on the court and almost NEVER get called for defensive fouls unless they are super obvious.
The refs hate novak or something. Where are the calls??? Time for melo to take over.

When a couple of wise guys from South Park, Colo., ripped off Salt Lake Acting Co.'s four-decade franchise on spoofing Mormons and Utah culture and took it to Tony Award success on Broadway, it set the bar high back in Utah for 2012's "Saturday's Voyeur."
SLAC has risen to the challenge by producing a post-graduate "Book of Mormon" that is more nuanced than usual in its shots at the culture that surrounds Utahns and pervades every aspect of life, from government to where and what they drink to who they sleep with. And for all its scathing satire, "Voyeur" 2012 manages to have heart.
Never fear, it takes a raucous, bawdy trip through the bowels of the LDS Church Office Building to reach that heart. Where else but "Voyeur" would you hear musical numbers that include a tribute to the gay rehabilitative power of BYU "blue bazooms" (to the tune of "99 Red Balloons"), "Do the Mo-Mo Motion" and the less-than-though-provoking "Mo-mos and the Homos Can't be Friends."
As I am every time I see 'Voyeur,' I was surprised by the professionalism of SLAC's performers, choreography and lyrics. That alone was enough to delight an out-of-town tourist who joined me for the performance.
The plot's arch begins with the "Curse of Obama" and leads to Mitt Romney's presidential nomination—"Everything's Coming Up Mormons."
In the process, Voyeur skewers proxy baptisms, a recent membership-inflation controversy, the Mormon church's struggles with "same sex attraction" and gay rehabilitation, its demo-phobia and the paradox of City Creek Center, where most Mormons can't afford to shop.
Brother Nephi, a cheeky "Internet Mormon", suggests the church begin proxy baptizing dead Muslims. "One of these days, we're going to run out of Jews to baptize and Muslims will be all we can get."
Of course, Voyeur's perennial target of choice appears as Gayle Godzicka of the Eagle Quorum, who, in this iteration, is the erotic focus of LDS uber-bureaucrat Elder Marriott. Godzicka is celebrated as a cultural icon "Too sexy for my hair. Too sexy to Nair."
"Mitt-Bot" is lauded as "not too deep and kind of a creep," but "we follow, we wallow, we swallow Mitt."
Elder Marriott and Mitt-Bot plot to funnel church tithings into Mitt's campaign, noting, "There's no connection between this church and politics." Then laugh uproariously.
Did I say this "Voyeur" has heart?
Oh, yeah. A thread runs through "Voyeur 2012" that is sympathetic to the ambivalence and heartbreak of thinking and caring Mormons with their church's rock-ribbed conservatism. The show closes with "Be Free," in which the characters counsel: "Take the good from the church, leave the bad and just move on."
For aficionados, here are some "Voyeur" high points:
- Pat Bagley-esque church security men who double as Godzicka's flying monkeys.
- A Borscht Belt Angel Nephi who zings one liners and advises "never take a Democrat for a wife. Get a bunch of wives with blue bazooms."
- A wild tribute to breasts with lyrics that include a cascade of obscure euphemisms for boobs, including Elmer Fudds, Bobbsey Twins, pumped-up hubcaps, humped-back whales, two-point jumpers, rutabagas, porky pigs, Holy Grails, bouncing Buddhas and Prop 8s.

Swimming Takes Fourth At Northwestern Relays
Oct. 27, 2003
Evanston, Ill.- After a dominating performance against Eastern Illinois in their season opener on Friday, the UIC men's and women's swimming team headed back to work on Sunday, taking on four tough teams in relay competition at the 2003 Northwestern Relays at the Norris Aquatics Center on Sunday afternoon.
Facing Horizon League rivals UW-Milwaukee and UW-Green Bay, as well as Big Ten powers Northwestern and Illinois, the Flames were unfazed even with only one day of rest to prepare. The UIC women finished tied for fourth with UW-Milwaukee, earning 161 points, while the Flames' men took a solid fourth with 159 points.
Although the final standings did not reflect a strong outing, both UIC teams raced extremely well while battling a partisan Big Ten crowd that favored the Wildcats and the Illini.
Highlights on the men's side included a second-place finish in the final event of the day, a 400-yard freestyle relay. Adan Jimenez, LeRoy Stevens, Bill Hare, and Blake Booher raced to a time of 3:11.23 to finish less than six seconds away from the winning Northwestern squad. Jimenez, Stevens, Hare, and Booher also scored a 200-yard freestyle time of 1:27.66 to finish third in the event, just two seconds away from the first-place Wildcats (1:25.93) and less than an eyelash away from UW-Green Bay (1:27.00).
Other notables included the 300-yard butterfly team of Ari Bernstein, Kris Simos, and Enric Claret, who finished third at 2:36.08. UIC also secured third-place in the 800-yard freestyle (7:11.84) with Claret, Bernstein, Hare, and Stevens, as well as a third-place standing in the 500-yard freestyle with Booher, Brian Kroes, Mike Conroy, and Matt Huffman completing the event in 4:22.47. Alexander Marinof, Stefan Staev, and Nick Kaczor earned third in the 300-yard breaststroke relay at a time of 3:06.74.
In the men's standings, Northwestern took first with 220 points, followed by the Phoenix at 185, UW-Milwaukee at 169, and UIC with 159 points.
For the women, junior Vanessa Segovia fought through an arm injury to team with co-captain Stephanie Donovan, Christine Hare, and freshman Emily Biancalana to take third in the 800-yard freestyle relay at 8:12.62. Segovia came back to help Hare, freshman Jessica Darud, and sophomore Aisha Williams take fourth in the 400-yard IM relay with a team time of 4:10.74.
Hare was strong the entire day for the UIC women, playing a vital role in the 200-yard medley relay team of Darud, Kelly Hyatt, and Alicia Perry that was four seconds away from first at 1:53.96.
Senior and women's team co-captain Stephanie Murphy continued her return to the pool after an injury kept her sidelined last season, helping the young 200-yard freestyle relay and 500-yard freestyle teams take fourth-place in each event. Murphy teamed with sophomore standout Laura Martensen and newcomers Carlie Schoaf and Jenny Gessford to finish the 500 in 4:57.93, then led newcomers Hyatt, Biancalana, and Gessford complete the 200 event in 1:43.76.
Overall, Northwestern took the women's meet with 208 points, followed by the Fighting Illini with 182. UW-Green Bay took third with 176 points, while the Panthers and the Flames finished even at 161.
Both the men's and women's teams will return to action this Saturday, November 1st, as they host the 2003 Horizon League Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Champion Wright State Raiders for the first home meet of the season at the UIC Natatorium. The first heat begins at 12 p.m.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mahuffy Everything about mthis product is superb. The Everett table went together so easily, with all hardware provided and easy to understand directions. It is absolutely beautiful and brings the decor together better than I hoped. Everyone who has seen it, loves it. It's exactly what I was looking for in a coffee table. December 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Knives4u Great value for the price! Was very pleased when this table arrived. The table was packed very well and was very easy to assemble. The table is very durable and looks great in our beach condo! August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BekahA Beautiful table! Love love love!!! But, beware of water staining. I purchased this table and matching end table and LOVE the quality and the look in our home! My only disappointment was finding what looked like a water mark on it a few days after purchase. Called customer service and they've replaced it which was awesome! I'm spraying the new one with a light sealant to prevent that from happening again and making sure cups are on coasters! Otherwise it's an absolutely beautiful table and I'm VERY happy with both it and the excellent customer service I received. I highly recommend this table. January 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cocochabot Great table but you must go buy sealant yourself mysterious staining... I love this whole set. I have all the pieces. The coffee table started getting marks on it the second day. It is a month and a half old and has several now. I have have never even put a coffee cup on it. The table is not sealed. I will follow the other reviewer's suggestion and go buy a spray polyurethane sealant sealant such as Minwax in satin and see if that does anything. February 16, 2014

A 26-year-old Wilmington man fell to his death Tuesday morning while trying to jump between the spans of the William V. Roth Bridge, according to police.
DeKeevis Johnson landed the ground below the northern side of the bridge sometime before 1:40 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Delaware State Police spokesman Cpl. John Day said Johnson had been driving southbound on Del. Route 1 when his vehicle broke down on the bridge.
Johnson called for a tow truck, but was picked up by a friend before the tow truck arrived.
After crossing the bridge and turning around onto northbound Route 1, Johnson and his friend saw that a tow truck had arrived at the disabled vehicle.
The friend stopped his vehicle on the northbound span and Johnson attempted to leap over the gap to the southbound span, Day said.
After his fall, lanes of Route 1 were closed for three hours as police investigated his death.
An investigation is ongoing and no foul play is suspected, Day said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call state police at (302) 834-2630, ext. 208.

I loved the home-and-home with Michigan. I think the BYU one will turn out to be fun, too.
Where should Fred look next?
I'm thinking UCLA. Bring Alford to Hilton.
MINNESOTA needs to happen. It is a natural geographic rivalry.
But personally I would like to see:
Ohio State
Give me any relevant team from the Midwest except for Wisconsin.
2016 Photoshopper of the Year
I want Ohio State after last season.
I don't care that they left the conference, it's time to get that back up and running.
Illinois please.
Missouri and Illinois would be fun.
I would love to see Mizzou in a recurring series. I miss those games.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I second mizzou!
UNC and Royboy.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I agree with Minnesota; I think Cyclone fans would head up to the Twin Cities for that game nicely if we got it scheduled on a December Saturday. Illinois would be the same way.
I think Creighton would be fun too, although McDermott probably has no interest in that.
See circle? Pick three
Midwest teams are great but nobody really cares about them outside of us and that fan base. Playing a UNC/Syracuse type deal would be more appealing on a national level...I'm more for matchups that are going to generate buzz on a national scale. Give me UNC/Indiana/Marquette
Otherwise: Minnesota/Wisconsin/Missouri would be okay for a non-conference game.
1. Illinois
2. Illinois
3. Illinois
Originally Posted by ISUCyclones2015

The home-and-home worthy teams in that circle (excluding Indiana and Ohio because they're too far away and your Ohio bias is showing ):
St. Louis
I think Clone fans would make a day out of a trip to any of these locations, if the game was on a weekend without ISU football.

Filter by media type:
A good thirty years ago Karl-Ernst and Ursel Herrmann directed a now legendary production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus), an opera till then overshadowed by Mozart's other great masterpieces, and in so doing they not only set the tone for Gerard Mortier's Brussels Mozart cycle but also showed that the opera really does deserve a place in the star-spangled sky of the opera repertoire. La Monnaie is now preparing a new production of this opera seria. A conversation with Ivo van Hove who, after Idomeneo, is directing his second Mozart opera for La Monnaie.
Staging a new Clemenza is no mean feat after Karl-Ernst's and Ursel Herrmann's memorable production, which was premièred in 1982…
The truth is that their production meant a great deal to me, because it immediately opened my eyes to the world of opera and enthused me. Until then I had regarded opera as no more than a musical happening with a usually kitsch staging. But their La Clemenza di Tito was an opera production which really appealed to me: for the first time I saw how a dramatic composition could develop on stage, I saw a production which went further and deeper than simply recounting a story. This approach was innovative in opera at the time, but I was familiar with it from the Schaubühne in Berlin which even in the 1970s championed this approach under director Peter Stein. (In fact we can now say that the Schaubühne aesthetics made their entry into opera with this production.) That said, the production is now more than thirty years old. I don't want to suggest that ours will ever be such a reference point, but I do think that the time has come for a new reading. I am not setting out to try and compete with the last. Comparisons are pointless, in my view. What matters is that I can present my interpretation. So I was delighted when Peter de Caluwe asked me to direct this production.
Several years ago you staged a new production of Idomeneo, now you are directing La Clemenza di Tito… Do you have a soft spot for Mozart's opera seria?
As a theatre-maker I feel a great affinity with his opera seria. With the accompanied recitative dialogue scenes – more spoken than sung – , which alternate with totally sung arias, Mozart's opera seria is closer to spoken theatre. With La Clemenza di Tito this is even more the case than with Idomeneo. It also presents a challenge, particularly as regards the arias, because they are built up according to a strict da capo structure with repetitions. That was of course also the case in Idomeneo and I was not happy about it at all. But from the first rehearsals I realized you can give substance to those repetitions in very many ways without violating the dramaturgy. Idomeneo is a more difficult story to tell, whereas La Clemenza di Tito has a clearer story line but then it is stricter in form.
Some directors, like Patrice Chéreau, are not keen on the da capo aria and tend towards the through-composed works – so not Mozart, but Wagner or Janáček. How do you feel about that?
Janáček's and Wagner's world is of course very different from Mozart's. Whereas Wagner and Janáček drive the story forward, Mozart allows the characters to reflect much more… about themselves, about what they've done, about what they are going to do. It's different, but no less interesting for all that! At any rate, I'm not tired of it and I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into Mozart again!
Until recently Mozart's last opera was regarded as an immature work. Do you share that view?
Karl-Ernst and Ursel Herrmann showed that La Clemenza di Tito is unquestionably a fully-fledged opera and thanks to their production the opera was included in the repertoire again. I have always looked upon this work as a Racinean drama. Racine usually drew his themes from private problems which evolve into real social problems, and vice versa. In La Clemenza di Tito a private conflict about loyalty and disloyalty develops and seemingly unreciprocated love takes the form of an attack on the Capitol – the power centre of Rome – and on the emperor. This makes La Clemenza di Tito a very topical work: more than ever we see the extent to which individual relationships can influence world events and vice versa. And then there is a third – juridical – aspect of the opera: everything leads up to a sort of court hearing which tries to present a new solution to these problems – even bringing to mind the last part of the Oresteia. In La Clemenza di Tito Titus overturns the old political culture: he breaks with the "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" principle and looks for a human solution. A personal conflict is given a political dimension and thus leads to a juridical conflict about the discrepancy between law and justice. That is also a recurrent theme in my theatre work, which just goes to show how relevant this opera is to society today!
Mozart gave some of his characters (in particular Vitellia, Tito and Sesto) more depth than others (Annio, Servilia and Publio). Does this make your job more difficult or does it give you more freedom?
I tend to pay great attention to those minor, supposedly less important characters. Take for example Publio: as the representative of the old political culture he has a very important role in this play. Once Tito has been crowned emperor, in a wonderful scene Publio shows him a list of people who have to be eliminated because they could pose a threat to the new regime. Titus refuses because he doesn't want to condemn anyone who has not yet done anything wrong. In a sense Publio represents the old CIA politics. He makes the assumption that his is the only way to guarantee the rule of law and to an extent he is proved right when things go wrong in the empire. Servilia also has a very important role because she has the courage to refuse the emperor when he asks her to marry him and pleads to be allowed to marry the man she loves, thereby bringing about a turning point in the opera. This is the moment when Tito realizes he must start to think about politics in a different way. You'll only find minor or insignificant roles in the theatre if there are bad authors or bad composers at work. And that is certainly not the case here! In La Clemenza di Tito those supporting roles are actually very well-rounded!
The events of this opera take place in 79 AD, but are still relevant today… Where do you set this drama in time and space?
For me opera is only interesting if you can make it topical… I want to show things that are recognizable to a contemporary audience and not just present lovely music or beautiful images! We have given La Clemenza di Tito a contemporary staging, but we haven't set it at a specific time historically. We chose a unified set that can be transformed to represent, for example, a private space as well as the political space of the palace and also serve as a court of law. It is a sort of glass house in which private problems are never purely private, partly because the outside world is looking on, but also because every deed, every act has consequences in that outside world.
You like using video in your productions. Will you be doing that here too?
Yes, but not so much to transform the space as to observe the characters from close to. They are constantly filmed and their words, deeds and crimes are observed live almost as if they were laboratory animals. These shots can even be rewound to confront people with their deeds and their weaknesses. Tal Yarden and I have had a lot of experience with live video over the years, but never have we applied it as systematically and as extensively as here. It's as if we're looking at human relationships and behaviour through microscopes …

After a stumbling start–mainly due to general inattention–Epic's Annex seems to have found its way.
From the start, fearless chef Robert Angellili presented a menu with the potential to match up with Epic's big beers–all 36 and counting. Duck fat fried almonds, fried chicken and potato fritters, mac and cheese with pancetta and fish and chips are some of the more traditional items on the menu, all robust and hearty. Despite the beet and goat cheese salad, cauliflower dip and the roasted veg and farro nod to the vegetarians, this is by necessity a hefty menu–it's easy for the food to be overwhelmed by the beer.
So unless you're a real Epic aficionado, be sure to call in an expert to help with the pairing process. I ordered blind one night, not realizing that the brew I ordered was made with coffee and chocolate–flavors that didn't do a thing for my chicken.
But the beer-braised shortrib can hold its own against anything, and weary as I am of the usual parboiled shortribs finished in the pan or oven, these genuinely slow-braised beauties were a delight.
Okay, if that shortrib doesn't make your mouth water, it's my camera and you have no imagination.
Properly cooked on my second visit, the lamb chops were kicked up with an unexpected salsa verde risotto and pork schnitzel was still sizzling when it reached the table.
Angellili pulls from all kinds of beer-friendly cuisines, from English fish and chips to Indian-influenced yogurt-marinated kitchen to Korean double-fried wings, so the Annex is a welcome change from the familiar German-heavy and American pub food usually offered in beer-centric eateries. Although there was plenty of red cabbage, as you can see.
There were also more delicate dishes–Utah trout over a polenta cake which was great with the wheat beer.
And, though sweets and beer can argue with each other, the spicy dark chocolate pot de crème and the incredible porter gingerbread are natural mates for brew. Or cofee. Or all by themselves. 1048 E. 2100 South, SLC, 801-742-5490.

My colleague Jaime Winston already covered this past weekend's event admirably in his videos, posted in a timely fashion on Monday. But even though this is tardy (just like UAF's annual Tardy Mardi fundraiser -- look for it next year) I wanted to make sure everyone appreciated the knitting geniuses in our city's midst. Needles had been clicking madly all over Library Square and City County building grounds. Besides the ultra amazing knitted Mini Cooper pictured above and here,
knitted garlands festooning a railing
and a tree cozied up in a sweater with sleeves for several branches.
Cool. Funny. Spectacular.
