The ASU women finished in the top 10 at the indoor championships for the first time since 2009 while the men posted a top-25 finish for the eighth time in the last 10 years
The Arizona State women currently have three student-athletes ranked No. 1 in the country in their respective events: Christabel Nettey (long jump), Anna Jelmini (discus) and Chelsea Cassulo (hammer)
Two of ASU's longest-standing school records were dropped this season at the Sun Angel Classic, with Christabel Nettey knocking off Jacinta Bartholomew's 24-year old school record in the long jump and Shelby Houlihan taking the reins in the 1,500-meter run after unseeding Priscilla Hein's 14-year old record as well.
Chelsea Cassulo set the NCAA Dual Meet hammer throw record with her winning mark of 69.52m (228-01) at the Double Dual. She set the school record and became the sixth-best collegiate performer in history after going over 70 meters at the NCAA West Prelims

In finishing third overall, the ASU women have been in the top-three at the conference championships in eight of the last nine seasons (since 2005). No other school can lay such a claim.
On the men's side following the team's fourth-place at the Pac-12 Championships, the Sun Devils have been a top-four team in 11 of the last 14 seasons (since 2000). Only USC and Oregon (both 12 of 14) have a better track record in that time.
Coverage throughout the weekend will be provided through a combination of the University of Oregon live streaming service through the Pac-12 Networks and the ESPN Family of Networks. A full broadcast schedule is available here: http://www.ustfccca.org/weekly-results/national-championships-central-outdoor-track-field. Fans can follow the Sun Devils on Twitter at @SunDevilTFXC for updates throughout the week on the ASU squad.
The Arizona State University men's and No. 9 women's track and field teams wrapped up competition at the NCAA West Preliminaries in Austin, Texas, adding seven individual qualifiers and two relay qualifications to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore.. In what was essentially the opening rounds of the NCAA Championships, the fields were whittled from 48 student-athletes to 12 from both the East and West Regions this weekend. Anna Jelmini qualified in both the discus and shot put competitions while Ryan Milus advanced as an individual at 100 meters in addition to his anchor role on the 4x100-meter relay. The qualifications from the weekend with join Keia Pinnick, who already earned a spot in the heptathlon field as the NCAA Championships.
The ASU men Team finished 16th at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships with 18 points.(Jordan Clarke won his third consecutive NCAA Shot Put title and defended his 2011 outdoor crown with a new personal best throw of 20.40m (66-111.25) and defeated his competition by over three feet. The mark gave Arizona State its fourth consecutive NCAA Shot Put title (Ryan Whiting won in 2009 and 2010) and between Whiting and Clarke, had won eight of the last 10 NCAA shot put competition between the indoor and outdoor campaigns. Sophomore transfer Derick Hinch proved to be the `diamond in the rough' of the season after posting an impressive third-place finish at the NCAA meet. as he became the first ASU All-American in the event since Olympic gold medalist Nick Hysong on ASU's all-time list. Anna Jelmini led the way at Nationals for the ASU women with a second place finish in the discus, earning eight points for the Sun Devils. Keia Pinnick finished fifth in the pentathlon and Christabel Nettey eighth in long jump to also earn points at Nationals. The Sun Devils' 4x100-meter relay of Asiah Gooden, Keia Pinnick, Alycia Herring and Kayla Sanchez took 16th-place overall in the semifinals in 44.84 to earn second-team All-America accolades. The women finished 24th overall.
Over the past 11 years, David Dumble has continued to bring in top talent and build the throws program at Arizona State, which has collected 15 total national titles. ASU continues to build on that legacy as(Jordan Clarke successfully defending his indoor title in the shot put and has now won four straight NCAA Championships in the event. During the 2013 indoor season, Arizona State was the only program at the Division I level to have four athletes ranked in the top-26 nationally in all four different throwing events. The outdoor season has been strong for ASU as well with Chelsea Cassulo the current NCAA leader in the hammer throw while Anna Jelmini leads the country in the discus while four-time defending NCAA Champion(Jordan Clarke sits fifth in the shot put. All three won their respective events at the Pac-12 Championships. All three will be among the favorites to win NCAA titles this weekend.
Jordan Clarke is primed to make history this season and could do some that not even ASU legend(Ryan Whiting could do. Clarke has a chance to win five consecutive NCAA shot put titles by the conclusion of his senior year. The reigning NCAA Champion indoors and outdoors, Clarke won his fourth-straight NCAA title at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a mark of 20.50m (67-03.25) and now sets his sights on a third-straight outdoor title. Should Clarke win out this year, he would become just the second individual in NCAA history to win five consecutive NCAA titles in the shot put. Only Kansas' Karl Salb, who won every shot put title from 1969 to 1971, would have a better a record after winning six titles during his tenure as a Jayhawk. Clarke won his third conference shot put title at the Pac-12 Championships, a feat that put him in an elite class in the conference record books as there had only been three three-time shot put champions in Pac-10/12 history and none have achieved the feat since Olympian John Godina did it for UCLA from 1993-95. He enters the weekend ranked fifth in the country with his Pac-12 winning mark of 19.35m (63-06.00).
Junior Anna Jelmini became a three-time All-American in the shot put indoors with her fifth-place finish in the event at the NCAA Indoor Championships . With the effort, Jelmini opened the door to match Sarah Stevens as the lone Sun Devil in school history with four straight first-team All-America honors. She is the two-time defending NCAA runner-up and now three-time defending Pac-12 Champion in the discus throw. Jelmini set a new career-best in a Sun Devil uniform at the Mesa Classic this past weekend with a mark of 60.61m (198-10). The throw was the 10th-best in NCAA history and garnered Jelmini recognition on the Watch List for the Bowerman Award, given annually to the top male and female track and field athletes at the NCAA level. Jelmini won her third-consecutive Pac-12 title in the event earlier, a feat had only been accomplished once before in conference history. Former UCLA standout Dawn Dumble won four titles as a Bruin (1991-93, `95) - the only athlete in conference history to accomplish the feat in the event. Dawn is the sister of David Dumble, Jelmini's coach and the coach of the throws team at Arizona State. She also happened to be Jelmini's first throws coach. She will also compete in the shot put competition this week.
Chelsea Cassulo is fast-becoming one of the best transfer pick-ups in recent history for the Sun Devils. The former UNLV standout finished fourth in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a mark of 21.23m (69-08.00) - the third-best mark in ASU history. Oddly enough, that's not even her best event. Cassulo was named the USTFCCCA Field Athlete of the Week following the ASU Invite after set ting a new school record in the hammer throw with a mark of 69.80m (229-00). The throw was the eighth-best individual throw in NCAA history and the 15th-best throw ever at the NCAA Division I level. Cassulo followed the performance with three throws over 68 meters at the Sun Angel Classic, finishing second only to Olympian Jessica Cosby. Cassulo went on to set the NCAA Dual Meet record in the hammer throw at the Double Dual with her winning mark of 69.52m (228-01) and then set the Pac-12 Championship meet record with her winning throw of 68.00m (223-01), knocking off former USC standout Eva Orban's previous best from 2006. Cassulo continued her tear with a throw of 70.07m (229-11) on her first attempt at the NCAA West Prelims, re-setting her school record while becoming the sixth-best collegiate performer of all-time and just the seventh woman to ever go over 70 meters in her career.
One of the key pieces to the Arizona State women's effort this season has been senior Christabel Nettey. Nettey was an absolute monster at the MPSF Championships, winning all three events she was entered in and scoring 30 points toward the team cause and earning herself MPSF Athlete of the Meet honors. She set the school indoor long jump record with a mark of 6.55m (21-06.00) and a runner-up effort at the indoor championships. The mark was actually equivalent to the winning jump but Nettey had to settle for second in the tiebreaking process. Nettey came out guns blazing in her 2013 outdoor long jump opener at the Sun Angel Classic, which featured a rematch against Geubelle, as she set the nation's leading mark in a winning performance with two leaps of 6.75m (22-01.75). The performance knocked off Jacinta Bartholomew's 24-year-old school record in the event, matched a Sun Angel Stadium venue record and was the third-best jump in the history of the Pac-12 Conference. Nettey was named the Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete of the Week for the Performance and currently remains first in the nation in the event and is undefeated outdoors this season. Nettey won her second career Pac-12 long jump title and gave ASU three straight and did so by knocking off one of the longest-standing records in the conference as she downed Gail Devers' 1987 long jump record with her winning leap of 6.68m (21-11.00).
Shelby Houlihan introduced herself to the world last season as she became the first student-athlete in Pac-12 history to sweep the cross country and track and field Newcomer of the Year awards. Houlihan locked up the school record in the indoor 800-meter run this season, earning second-team All-America honor as well while also taking the MPSF title in the mile (where she also owns the school record). Houlihan absolutely obliterated the previous school record in the 1,500-meter run at the Sun Angel Classic, clocking a time of 4:13.64 that was three-and-a-half seconds better than Priscilla Hein's former 1999 school record. The time ranks ninth in the nation. She would go one to lead from wire-to-wire at the Pac-12 Championships with a time of 4:14.84 to take down a field that included no fewer than five former All-American seniors - including the two-time defending Pac-12 Champion, Jordan Hasay of Oregon. In doing so, she became the first Sun Devil to win a Pac-10/12 title in the event since Kim Toney did it in back-to-back years in 1993 and 1994. She could provide the extra points necessary this weekend to propel to Sun Devils into a trophy-earning position.
Senior Keia Pinnick nearly gave ASU two NCAA Champions following the NCAA Indoor Championships, staging a huge comeback over the final two events of the pentathlon to challenge for the title. Pinnick came up just shy, but set a new career best of 4,327 points in the process while breaking school pentathlon records in the 60-meter hurdles, long jump and 800 meters - all marks previous held by Olympian and former NCAA record-holder Jacquelyn Johnson. Pinnick set a new career best at the Pac-12 Multis last weekend in the heptathlon with a score of 5,801 to win the competition and with that, her first career Pac-12 title. The score ranks fourth nationally and gave ASU its fifth conference champion in the last decade in the event. Pinnick would come back to take third in a career best 13.17 in the 100-meter hurdles and fourth in the 400-meter hurdles at the Pac-12 Championships. She then helped the women's 4x400-meter relay to the ninth-fastest time in school history in 3:32.53 in a runner-up finish for a complete effort that garnered her the Pac-12 Female Athlete of the Meet honor.
In winning the men's 4x100-meter relay for the second consecutive season at the Pac-12 Championships, the Sun Devils became the first team to do so since UCLA in 2009 and 2010 and just the seventh team in Pac-12 history to repeat as champions. With the win, the Sun Devils - whose team this year consists of Devan Spann, Will Henry, Chris Burrows and Ryan Milus - continued to exact their dominance in the men's relays since 2000. The victory was ASU's 12th relay victory since the turn of the millennium, more than any school in the conference. USC is second on that list with nine. The women's runner-up finish of 3:32.53 at the Pac-12 Championships was the fastest relay time since 2009 and that squad of Alycia Herring, Keia Pinnick, Sarah Geren and Brianna Tate will also be in action this week.
The Arizona State men's sprints program has been a force through the past decade and junior Ryan Milus has played a big part in that. The junior was a monster at the annual Double Dual meet, sweeping the 100 and 200-meter sprints and winning the 100 in a career-best time of 10.19 that ranks third in ASU history. Milus also anchored the 4x100-meter relay to a season's best time of 39.40 that currently ranks ninth in the country. Milus took third at 100 meters and fourth at 200 meters at the Pac-12 Champions while anchoring the men's quarter-mile relay to a dominating victory in 39.41. Milus was clutch for the Sun Devils at the NCAA West Prelims, automatically advancing to this week of competition in the 100-meter dash for the first time in his career while also running a fantastic anchor for the men's 4x100-meter relay to help that team automatically qualify as well.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the NCAA Prelim weekend came in the form of sophomore high-hurdler Cameron Taylor. The local product entered the weekend as the 34th-seed in the West in the event. As such, even advancing to the quarterfinals would have been deemed a success. But Taylor wasn't done there as he set a new career best in all conditions with a slightly wind-aided time of 13.87 to take fifth in his heat. That time would end up holding up and be good enough to earn the third and final time qualification of the quarterfinals and punch a ticket to his first-ever NCAA Championship meet of his career. Taylor ended a long drought for the Sun Devils in the event, earning the first NCAA Championships qualification for ASU since Tony Galaviz did it in 2002.
During the indoor campaign, 20 student-athletes set 26 marks that improved upon or moved into the top-10 in ASU history. ASU is right back on track with that during the 2013 outdoor season as 20 athletes have set 26 marks that moved into or improved upon marks held on ASU's top-10 list in their respective events. The list includes Amber Pasternak (pole vault), Nick Happe (1,500m), Ryan Herson (5,000m/10,000m), Garrett Baker-Slama (3,000m Steeple), Darius Terry (1,500m), Shelby Houlihan (1,500m/5,000m), Ke'Nya Hardge (400mH) and Brianna Tate (400m) all making their debuts on the top-10 list while Alex Hartig (javelin), Keia Pinnick (heptathlon/100mH/400mH), Christabel Nettey (long jump/100mH), Anna Jelmini (discus),(Jordan Clarke (discus/hammer) and Ryan Milus (100m) all improved upon marks already held on the list.
ASU's roster currently fields a total of 15 student-athletes who have earned an All-America honor in their careers. Individuals include Keia Pinnick, Christabel Nettey, Anna Jelmini, Chelsea Cassulo, Shelby Houlihan,(Jordan Clarke, Derick Hinch, Bryan McBride, Nick Happe and Ryan Mlus while Chris Burrows, Will Henry, Alycia Herring, Brianna Tate and Sarah Geren have all earned the honor as part of a relay team.
The 2013 season represents the beginning of the end for 15 Sun Devils entering the season. On the men's side Chris Benard, Chris Burrows,(Jordan Clarke, Nick Happe, Daryl Morales, Cory Kraft, Joe Riccio, Darius Terry and Josh Walker enter their final campaign in the Maroon and Gold while Chelsea Cassulo, Hailey Hanna, Christabel Nettey, Keia Pinnick, Constance Ezugha and Natasa Vulic will compete in their last competitions as Sun Devils this year.
In 1996, Pal Arne Fagernes won the men's javelin title at the NCAA Championships. It was not until 2004 that Arizona State had another national champion as Jacquelyn Johnson won the outdoor heptathlon as a true freshman. Starting in 2005, ASU had at least one returning NCAA champion on its roster for six years in a row, a streak that came to an end two seasons ago because of graduation. The 2010 and 2009 rosters featured two returning individuals each (Ryan Whiting and Jason Lewis in 2010, Whiting and Sarah Stevens in 2009) while the 2008 roster featured four returning champions in Johnson, Stevens, Jessica Pressley and April Kubishta, all who won titles in 2007. The Sun Devils had no returning champions in 2011 but rectified that for the 2012 season with junior(Jordan Clarke returning as the 2011 NCAA outdoor shot put champion and that carried over into a sweep of the 2012 titles. With his return again this year, ASU hopes he can pass the torch on and keep the streak going.
Head Coach Greg Kraft is entering his 17th year as the leader of the Sun Devil program, a tenure that has brought Arizona State back to the top of the standings in both the NCAA and Pac-12 events. Since his hiring, the program has continued to evolve into one of the more well-rounded in the nation with strength on the track and in the field as well as in cross country. Kraft and his staff have worked diligently to reach their goals of championships and success in education and that has not been more clearly seen than in the past five years as the hardware has continued to roll in. His program has annually produced some of the top individuals in the nation with 27 of the program's 59 individual and relay national titles won since 2004 while both his teams and individual student-athletes have garnered national academic acclaim. Prior to his arrival, the program boasted one NCAA Championship (men's outdoor track & field, 1977) and one Pac-12 Championship (men's outdoor track & field, 1981). In the last seven years, his Sun Devils have captured four national crowns (2007 women's indoor and outdoor track & field, 2008 men's and women's indoor track & field) and added three Pac-12 Championships (women's outdoor track & field, 2006-08). Kraft's teams have finished in the Top 10 of the NCAA Track & Field Championships (indoors and outdoors) on 23 occasions in 17 years while the program had done so just 14 times prior to his arrival in Tempe.
As he begins his 17th year at Arizona State, Kraft's tenure ranks as the second-longest in Sun Devil track & field history and the third-longest active streak among all current ASU head coaches. The only coach that has led the track & field program longer than Kraft is legendary coach Senon `Baldy' Castillo, who led the way for 26 years (1954-79). Among current Sun Devil head coaches, Kraft's 17th year ranks behind John Spini, who is in his 33rd year with gymnastics and Sheila McInerney, who is in her 29th year with women's tennis.

Boulder Fixed Gear riding Part II
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Last week we ran a story about why fixed gear riding is good, and now today lets finish on tips on how to keep fixed gear riding fun.
Tip 1. Never go on a group ride with geared bikes and that say that today's ride they will be riding to painsville and back. Unless you like working your legs like a sewing machine than I'd say stay away from them or group rides (with geared bikes) in general.
Tip 2. Don't forget that this thing aint got a freewheel! The first ride of the year on the fixed for me is always a "get re-familiar" with my fixed gear bike.
Tip 3. Careful on city riding. Riding corners are your biggest concern, again, you aint got no freewheel.
Tip 4. For your first few weeks out try to keep to flat-ish roads. I will never forget the first day on a fixed gear. I road with a group (tip 1) and on a very hilly course... that first descent will never leave my mind as I think my legs went beyond 200rpm. There's nothing wrong with riding hills, just ease into them.
Tip 5. 42x16
Tip 6. You need brakes! You can use your legs to do a lot of braking but at 120+rpm its not that easy. Buy some breaks.
Tip 7. Enjoy this bike the most when the weather is the worst! As long as there isn't any ice the fixe is great. No matter how bad the roads are and how dirty it gets your bike, since you don't have any gears than there isn't much to wear out except for that $8 chain.

Didier Reynders signs the protocol of intention for the organisation of Europalia Turkey in 2015
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders today signed the protocol of intention for the organisation of Europalia Turkey in 2015 at the Egmont Palace, together with Turkish Minister for EU Affairs Egemen Bağış.
On 23 May 2013, the Europalia Board of Directors decided to select Turkey to be the host country for the 2015-2016 festival. After Russia, China, Brazil and India, Turkey will now, starting in the autumn of 2015, be put in the limelight for several months in various Belgian cities and municipalities.
Europalia also has a number of anniversaries to celebrate in 2015. For example, 2015 marks the 25th occasion that Europalia is presenting the festival to the European public. It will also be celebrating its 45th anniversary. Throughout the years, the objective of Europalia has been to introduce the cultures of European countries, and more recently Asian countries, to a broader public.
Turkey is a candidate for EU accession and is a country in which many different cultures meet. This makes it the perfect choice for celebrating these anniversaries. The exhibition is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the Turkish community in Belgium and in other countries as well as to give the Belgian and international public the chance to discover the cultural richness of this country.

The Church of San Domenico Maggiore - Naples
The Church of San Domenico Maggiore, founded in 1231, as it is today, includes part of the old church of San Michele Arcangelo a Morfisa, which dates back to the 10th century and was officiated by Basilian monks and late by Benedictine monks.
The construction of the basilica dates back to the Angevin Reign, when, according to the wishes of Charles II, building began and continued till 1324.
An earthquake and fire in the 15th and 16th centuries seriously damaged the Church, then in 1670 the new Baroque taste was imposed on the older Gothic style.
Cosimo Fanzago was called on to plan the high altar, while the ceiling was covered by caissons and the walls were decorated with gilded plasterwork.
In the 18th century, Domenico Antonio Vaccaro redesigned the floor, marble, balusters were added, brass gates were placed on the side chapels, the organ which is still there today was positioned, the apse finished and the sacristy fixed.
And finally, in the 19th century more transformations were made to the ceiling, the windows were decorated with coloured glass and the presbyterial area was lowered.
On the Church's exterior, the wall of the apse dominated the piazza.
Here there is the entrance under the altar and the 16th century stairway and portal, built in the times of Alfonso of Aragon.
The only recognisable Gothic style elements are in the ogival style portal on Vico San Domenico, one of the most beautiful in Naples for its marble decorations, and the typical polygonal apse of Neapolitan Angevin Churches.
The Church has a Latin cross plan and three naves with lateral chapels, a transept and an apse.
It has a panelled ceiling.
Along the walls, within 12 medallions, there are the portraits of the Dominican Saints.
To the side of the facade's interior, there is the Renaissance Saluzzo Chapel, founded by the Carafa family in 1508.
The first chapel holds the Sepulchre of Bartolomeo Brancaccio, which is the work of a follower of Tino di Camaino, and a small 15th century fresco of the Madonna of Humility, a trace of the primitive decoration of the Church.
The next chapel was entirely frescoed by the Roman artist Pietro Cavallini, between 1308 and 1309.
The rigorous geometry of the architecture and the bright impasto characterise the stories of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew, Mary Magdalen, Saint John the Evangelist and the Crucifixion.
After the third chapel which holds an austere 14th century crucifix, in the fourth chapel there is a painting of Baptism of Jesus by Marco Pino that has been dated 1564 and a painting of the Ascension from the early 17th century by the Flemish Teodoro d'Errico.
Next there is the chapel with a tombstone of Costanza Dentice from the workshop of Tino di Camaino.
From the sixth chapel, which is decorated with 16th/17th century frescoes, one enters the Large Chapel of the Crucifixion.
Here, according to tradition, over the altar there was the crucifix (today there is a reproduction) from which Christ spoke to the praying Saint Thomas.
The chapel is a treasury of Neapolitan sculpture from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Sepulchre of Ferdinando Carafa is attributed to Giovanni da Nola, and those of Caterinella Orsini and Mariano d'Alagno to the Lombard Tommaso Malvito, who, among other things, created the Sarcophagus of Diomede Carafa with Giacomo della Pila and Domenico Gagini.
To the left of the Large Chapel, two arches can be recognised.
They are the remains of the ancient Gothic Church, pertaining to the chapels of Carafa di Ruvo and del Doce.
In both funerary monuments there are works by Tommaso Malvito in collaboration with Giovanni da Nola.
In the first there is the wooden Nativity scene by Pietro Belverte, and for the second Raphael painted the Madonna of the Fish, which is now in Madrid.
Coming out into the seventh from the 14th century frescoes, there are the tombs of the family of Saint Thomas of Aquino.
Then there is the New Sacristy.
It is in the late Baroque style, and was planned by G.B. Nauclerio.
On the vaulted ceiling there is the bright fresco with "The Triumph of Faith over the Heresy of the Dominicans", of 1709, by Francesco Solimena.
On the walls there are walnut stiles and above them there runs a long balcony with canopy where the 45 Arcs of the Aragon Kings and dignitaries of the Kingdom are preserved.
These are the only remaining testimonies of the wooden sepulchres that existed in the Churches of the 15th and 16th centuries, after they were eliminated according to the Pope's wishes in 1568.
Today, after important restoration work, the materials found in the arcs, which were unfortunately repeatedly violated and ransacked, are now on display in the adjacent Treasury room.
The superior quality robes, in the damask or brocade, the coats, the tight hose pants - which had a little cap to cover the private parts and were often skilfully delineated with shaped padding - the pants, ample cloaks, skirts.
Shirts and headgear of the Sovereigns and dignitaries are kept in the wooden wardrobes near the furnishings with the series of embroidered cloths that were donated to the Monastery in 1799, and the holy vestments.
Back in the Church, from the right transept one enters the nucleus of San Michele Arcangelo a Morfisa.
Of this ancient Church we can see some areas covered by cross vaults with tufa stone ribs, separated by an ogival arch.
The presbytery has four chapels on the sides.
The polygonal apse holds the wooden choir and the organ, both made in the 18th century.
The altar and the desks to the side are surrounded by a joined marble baluster whose installation was completed by Cosimo Fanzago.
Between the two chapels of the left transept, rich with sculptural works, there is the Sepulchre of Filippo d'Angiò by Tino di Camaino and helpers and that of Rinaldo del Doce that has the signature of Tommaso Malvito and Giovanni da Nola.
In this arm of the Church there were two paintings that now are held in the Museum of Capodimonte, namely the "Flagellation" by Caravaggio and the "Annunciation" by Titian.
Proceeding towards the main entrance one comes across the Chapel of the Madonna of the Snow from the altar of the same name with a statue of the Madonna and Child between Sanit John the Baptist and Saint Matthew, by Giovanni da Nola in 1536.
To the right there is the bronze bust of the poet G.B. Marino.
Past the second chapel that holds the Sepulchre of Leonardo Tomacelli by Malvito, we arrive at the third last chapel in which there is a sweet Madonna with child by the workshop of the Sienese Tino di Camaino, a statue of the Baptist and the Sepulchre of Bernardino Rota, both by Girolamo d'Auria.
The monument holds representations of the art, of nature and of the personifications of the Arno and the Tiber, symbols of the Italian and Latin languages in which the poet composed his works.
From the next, with the Sepulchre of Antonio Carafa, also known as "the Malicious" for his skill in political dealings, we arrive at the last chapel, of the Madonna of Zì Andrea, with its Baroque forms.
The chapel in named after the wooden statue of the Madonna of the Rosary, which was sculpted according to the wishes of brother Andrew of Auria; and finally, we have arrived at the entrance of the Church, with 16th century Muscettola chapel to the left.
The Convent was for many centuries the seat of the "Studio", the institution founded by Federico II, from which today's University originated.
Saint Thomas of Aquino (whose cell can be visited with permission of the fathers), taught theology there.
Among the more remarkable students there were the Humanist Gioviano Pontano and the philosopher Giordano Bruno.
The historical spaces that the "Studio" occupied are now the seat of confraternities: that of Sacrament, founded in 1628, preserves above the altar the painting on canvas entitled "The Vision of Fra Giovanni of Altamura" by Massimo Stanzione; that of Rosary holds a painting by Fabrizio Santafede.
In the 17th century Cloister of Statues there are sculptures from the destroyed Church of Saint Sebastian. (Raffaella Maffia)

Dover Police arrested Ronald Waid, 41 of Dover, on Feb. 27 after an investigation revealed that he had allegedly raped the girl between 2005 and 2007, Dover Police Department Capt. Tim Stump said.
Waid threatened to kill her at the time if she told anyone what he was doing to her, Stump said.

He was committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna in default of $200,000 secured bond.

With the demise of the 1960s gang scene in NYC came an unlikely fruit. A few South Bronx gang members (Benjy, Robert and Victor) rooted in the Melendez family unit grew to form a musical group known as the Ghetto Brothers. While the crew had been immersed in the violent and criminal parts of gang life, Benjamin "Yellow Benjy" Melendez social consciousness and focus towards Puerto Rican nationalism in time moved his people more and more towards positive community building. Journalist Jeff "Chairman" Mao elaborates:
"By mid-1971, Benjy's social conscience and interest in Puerto Rican nationalism dovetailed with the rise of young urban activist groups like the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party. Catching the revolutionary spirit in the air, the Ghetto Brothers eradicated junkies and pushers from their neighborhood, cleaned parks and garbage-strewn empty lots, and participated in clothing drives and breakfast programs."
We tickle your fancy a bit? Well, as it turns out, the Ghetto Brothers will be reissuing their rare and truly unique 1972 Latin Rock album Power Fuerza as a deluxe edition, including "remastered audio and extensive 80-page liner notes booklet, with rarely-seen photos and visual artifacts from gang members, plus interviews with group and cultural historians." You know that liner booklet is going to have some gems.

Nate Holland took the win at the official Olympic test event for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games.
Alex Deibold, Nick Baumgartner, Nate Holland, Faye Gulini and Lindsey Jacobellis all qualified into Friday's snowboardcross FIS World Championships finals.
The fast-paced excitement of skicross and snowboardcross will come to Squaw Valley March 4-8, 2015, with the resort hosting an Audi FIS Skicross World Cup and FIS Snowboard World Cup.

Olympians Nate Holland (in green) and Lindsey Jacobellis both took snowboardcross gold at X Games Aspen Friday, less than two weeks before heading to Sochi, Russia for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
Lindsey Jacobellis (blue bib) closed out the Olympic selection period for snowboardcross with a third-place finish in the FIS Snowboard World Cup Sunday in Vallnord.
Trevor Jacob rode to his career first snowboardcross victory Saturday in the FIS Snowboard World Cup in Vallnord, putting him in prime position to make the Olympic team with just a month to go before Sochi.
Olympic silver medalist Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, VT) made her over-due return to the podium Saturday with her first snowboardcross World Cup victory in nearly two years in Lake Louise.
Six-time X Games snowboardcross champion Nate Holland (Squaw Valley, CA) underwent successful surgery with Dr. Tom Hackett of the Steadman Clinic Saturday in Vail for a fractured clavicle.

With seven X Games gold medals, Nate Holland has enough precious metal to gild his driveway. Born and raised in northern Idaho, Holland developed a taste for adventure at a young age, and that need to live on the edge has fueled him throughout his career. A snowboardcross specialist, Holland defines the sport's chaotic style by going all-out in every race.
The 2012 winter showcased Holland's go-for-broke style, as he earned his sixth X Games gold and two World Cup podiums before bowing out with a broken shoulder blade. During the 2013 season, Holland added another World Cup win and two podium results to his impressive resume.
Although primed for the 2014 Olympic season, Holland broke his collarbone during a practice day at the World Cup opener and was sidelined for the first two events. A quick surgery and a few pins later, Holland showed up the Lake Louise World Cup, riding into fourth place and successfully securing his spot on the 2014 Olympic team. A month later, he reclaimed his X Games champion title with his seventh X Games gold. He rode the wave to his third Olympic Games in Sochi, where he finished 25th.

HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Grand Opera plans to present the futuristic Fura dels Baus productions of Wagner's four Ring Cycle operas over four consecutive seasons.
The performances will start with "Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)" in 2013-14.
Sixty-seven-year-old Mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade will come out of retirement for the world premiere of Ricky Ian Gordon's "A Coffin in Egypt."
The work based on the play of the same name by Horton Foote will open March 14, 2014, in a co-production with the Opera Company of Philadelphia.
The 2013-14 season announced Wednesday also includes the North American premiere of Mieczyslaw Weinberg's "The Passenger" on Jan. 18, 2014.
The opera is based on a novel about a former SS officer on a cruise ship who thinks she recognizes a former Auschwitz prisoner.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Adults have a tightly controlled thermostat to help regulate their body temperature. When cold, an adult shivers, helping to raise the temperature of the body. Sweating occurs when an adult is overheated, to allow for cooling. These mechanisms, on the other hand, are not completely developed in newborns. In addition, newborns lack the insulating fat layer that older babies and children develop.
Because a newborn's temperature regulation system is immature, fever may or may not occur with infection or illness. However, fever in babies can be due to other causes which may be even more serious. Call your baby's physician immediately if your baby younger than 3 months old has a rectal temperature of 100.4° F or higher.
Fever in newborns may be due to:
An overheated baby may have a hot, red, or flushed face, and may be restless. To prevent overheating, keep rooms at a normal temperature, about 72 to 75° F, and dress your baby just like you and others in the room.

Open Women Return Home, Compete For Class Of 84 Plaque In Ivy Finale
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE AUDIO l CLASS OF 1984 PLAQUE HISTORY l NATIONAL POLL
On May 19, they will all see each other once again. But for the regular season, the Princeton open rowing team will conclude its Ivy League schedule Saturday morning when it takes on both Dartmouth and Penn on Lake Carnegie in the annual Class of 1984 Point Trophy regatta.
Unlike the rest of its Cup competitions, the Class of 1984 Point Trophy goes to the program with the best combined finish of the varsity eight, second varsity and varsity four; Princeton can view it as a prelude to the NCAA Championships, when those three boats will be scored together in the race for a national title.
Princeton has retained the trophy in all 28 years of the regatta, and it has won the varsity eight race in 27 of the 28 meetings (Dartmouth won in 1986). Last year, Princeton won each race on the Schuylkill River, though the Big Green pushed the Tigers and finished within seven seconds.
The Tigers will be looking to build off the momentum generated from last weekend's victories over Yale at the Eisenberg Cup; after all, Ivy Sprints will be only three weeks away following this Ivy League finale.
"With two more regular season races before the Ivy Sprints, I think all crews feels the pressure to keep improving and finding speed," sophomore Anna Ionson said. "That pressure has translated into a lot of energy and determination in practice and everyone is going for it. It is and exciting time in the season."
It will also be exciting for the team to remain home on a Friday. Since its season-opening wins over both Brown and Ohio State, the sixth-ranked Tigers have been on the road three straight weeks. They will remain home for their final two weekends, including a May 4 showdown with No. 13 Michigan.
"I think everyone is excited to race on Lake Carnegie again," Ionson said. "It is definitely easier with busy academic schedules. More importantly, I think everyone is very proud of the boathouse facilities, race course, and Princeton Crew program as a whole, and it will be exciting to host another team."
Racing will begin at 10:40 am, following the men's lightweight showdown with Harvard and Yale. Racing will take place every 20 minutes, with the varsity eight race scheduled for 11:40 am.

Crown Prince chairs Cabinet session (5/13/13)
May 13, 2013
Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the weekly Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah this afternoon. The Cabinet began by noting Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah's visit to the Kingdom to meet with the Saudi Crown Prince.
Then, a briefing was given on the latest developments in the region and the world. The ministers reiterated their call for the redoubling of international efforts to resolve the crisis in Syria in order to bring an end to the bloodshed of the Syrian people. Regarding Israel, the Cabinet condemned the arrest of the Mufti of Al-Quds [Jerusalem] Sheikh Mohammed Hussein, as well as the approval of the construction of 296 new housing units in a West Bank settlement. It also condemned the bombings in the town of Rihaniya in southern Turkey that killed and injured dozens of people, expressing condolences to the victims and reiterating the Kingdom's rejection of all forms of terrorism.
Reviewing the international conferences in which Saudi representatives participated last week, the Cabinet discussed the proceedings of the 4th Petersburg Climate Dialogue in Berlin and the 4th Annual Energy Forum in Istanbul. Turning to the cultural and economic conferences held inside the Kingdom, it noted the outcomes of the Coordination Forum of Universities and Institutions Concerned With the Arabic Language in the Countries of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); the final ceremony of the 8th Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Competition for the Memorization of the Prophetic Hadith; and the 8th Conference of Euromoney.
Addressing its weekly agenda, the Cabinet authorized the Minister of Interior to discuss with the Sudanese side amending the text of Article (XIV) of the Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Government of the Republic of Sudan for Cooperation in the Fight Against Illicit Trafficking in Drugs and Psychotropic Substances and Their Smuggling; authorized the President of the General Authority for Civil Aviation to sign a draft agreement with Australia in the field of air transport services; authorized the Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance to sign a draft Memorandum of Understanding with Cameroon on regulating the work of the Center of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Yaoundé and the Islamic centers affiliated with it; authorized the Minister of Finance to sign a draft agreement with Hungary on the avoidance of double taxation and income tax evasion; and approved the final accounts of the King Fahd National Library and the Saudi Ports Authority for fiscal year 1432/1433 H.

Obstetricians all over the world are telling expectant mothers about the possible healing properties inside their baby's placenta.
Bay Medical is going one step further.
The hospital has a program in place for women who are having a repeat c-section who are not in labor to donate their placenta.
The placenta goes to a company that uses it for research to grow human tissue for skin grafts.
Ob/GYN Dr. Deborah Edgeworth says If the studies are successful it would open up a whole new avenue of available tissue for burn victims and people who are disfigured.
Burn patients go through a long healing process that isn't always successful.
Scientists are now finding ways to use placenta stem cells to help speed up that healing simply by being sprinkled onto a wound.
There are more than four million babies born every year in the United States.
Most of the time, after birth, the placenta is thrown away.
That's because most parents aren't aware that close to 300 million cells can be taken from it.
About 50 doses of medication for burns and serious wounds can be created with one placenta.
Dr. Edgeworth says it all comes down to education.
"Most people want to be involved because it's a good service and yet it doesn't have any cost or expense or extra work or anything on the part of the patient.
It's just collected by the physician at the time of delivery and we put it in a container and ship it to the company and they take care of it from there."
The program is only for women who are having a repeat c-section.
That's because during natural child birth there's a chance more contaminants come in contact with the placenta, and researchers want as pure a specimen as possible.

Baltimore County News
Charlotte Crenson, Chief
Baltimore County Health Department
Division of Animal Control
May 19-25 is National Dog Bite Prevention Week - the perfect time to remind pet owners and parents what to do to prevent dog bites. With warm temperatures in the forecast, people and pets are sure to spend more time outdoors, making it vital for pet owners to protect themselves and their pets by obeying animal laws and preventing bites.
The Department of Health investigates approximately 1,000 bite and scratch exposures from dogs annually. Most dog bites occur between April and the end of September, and although the majority of bites are not serious, there are things everyone should do when in the company of a canine companion:
Tips to Share With Children:
• Be kind to dogs and do not tease them.
• Do not run from a dog and scream.
• Do not disturb a dog that is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies.
Tips for Pet Owners/Parents:
• Never leave infants or young children alone with any dog.
• Immediately report stray dogs or dogs displaying unusual behavior to Baltimore County Animal Control at 410-887-5961.
• Always have your dog on a leash when off of your property.
• Do not play aggressive games with your dog (e.g., wrestling).
If you or someone you know is bitten by a dog:
• File a police report by calling 911.
• If the owner is present, request proof of rabies vaccination, their name, and contact information. If the animal is a stray and can be safely confined, contact Baltimore County Animal Control Division at 410-887-5961.
• Clean bite wound with soap and water.
• Contact your healthcare provider for further instructions.
Responsible pet ownership is the key to having a long lasting relationship with our animals, and preventing bites within our communities.
Revised April 6, 2016

Cindy Beitmen began her career singing opera in the Washington, D.C. area. After six years of teaching, singing, and conducting in Vienna, Austria, she moved to Seattle, where she began specializing in early music. Cindy received her Masters of Music degree in vocal performance from the University of Washington, during which time she performed as soloist with the Seattle Chamber Singers, Broadway Symphony, Vancouver Early Music Festival, and the Early Music Society of the Islands in Victoria, B.C. Performance opportunities led her to New York City where she sang with Pomerium, the Virgin Consort, Symphony for the United Nations, Ensemble Fortuna based in Boston, and the British Ensemble Circa 1500. As a member of the New York Ensemble for Early Music, she toured throughout the U.S. in the medieval liturgical drama Herod and the Innocents and performed the Resurrection Play of Tours at the New York Cloisters. She taught voice and vocal diction at Northern Arizona University and currently directs the college choir and early music vocal ensemble at Mills College. In addition, she is the music director at St. Albert Priory in Oakland, director of the Contra Costa Chorale, and is founder and director of the Women's Antique Vocal Ensemble, which specializes in music of the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.

She appears on 10 CDs with music from the 16th to late 18th-centuries, and is a member of Music's Re-creation, the Farallon Recorder Quartet, Magnificat, and Jubilate Baroque Orchestra. She teaches on many courses in early music across the U.S., and is co-director of the SFEMS Medieval-Renaissance Summer Workshop at Dominican University. Many Mills students enjoy the fascinating music from these earlier times, and in these ensembles they gain both a general knowledge of performance practices and specific instrumental and vocal skills.
Steed Cowart composer and conductor, has been a director of the Mills Contemporary Performance Ensemble (CPE) since 1986. During this time the ensemble has worked directly with many visiting composers including Meredith Monk, James Tenney, Lou Harrison, Christian Wolff, Cecil Taylor, Jose Maceda, and Terry Riley. CPE regularly performs new works by Mills student composers. Steed holds a PhD from the University of California, San Diego where he was Bernard Rands' assistant with the new music ensemble SONOR. At UC, Santa Cruz he conducted Ensemble Nova, the faculty new music ensemble, and was director of April in Santa Cruz, a month-long new music festival. He has conducted many ad hoc ensembles in performances of new music, appeared as guest conductor with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and conducted the Club Foot Orchestra in performances and in accompanying silent movies.

8 hours - Audio CD Set
Hence, Terror Tales, created in 1934 and lasting until 1941. Weirder than Weird Tales, more mysterious than Dime Mystery Magazine––which gave it birth––it pushed the boundaries of pulp fiction so far it shattered them. When Terror's editors went too far, the censors shut them down.
For our second Terror Tales collection we have again taken the anthology approach. Most of these stories were considered for our first release. They range from the purely supernatural to the horrifically horrible. The authors include Popular Publications' star scribes such as Norvell Page, John Knox and Carl Jacobi, sprinkled with stand-out stories penned by lesser lights.
Here is the lineup:
Laurence Donovan's "Swamp Madness" opens this dark carnival of doom. What is the dismal thing that emerged from a cursed swamp? And what does it want? In a tale of lunatic revenge, Norvell W. Page offers "Blood on the Moon." John Knox chills with "The Ice Maiden," a story of supernatural siege. James Duncan takes us "Where the Black Cats Ruled" and unmasks the inner tigress hiding within one man's lover. William Barrett explains why "It is Dark in My Grave!" in a yarn that out-creeps Poe's "Premature Burial." Carl Jacobi invites us into "Satan's Roadhouse" for a cold repast of gore and grue. Finally, Raymond Whetstone introduces us to..."Mistress of the Damned." Is she ghost, succubus, or lamia?
We have invited back the acclaimed readers of our inaugural Terror Tales gorefest, Michael C. Gywnne and Joey D'Auria, as well as newcomers Nicholas Camm and John Doyle. Let them thrill and chill you with their sepulchral storytelling. And try to get a good night's sleep before you start in. You'll need it for the wide-awake nights that follow....

In Reset: The New Normal I explored the reasons that business apps have to run on multiple types of devices and on multiple OS's within 3 years. That in turn led me to a sea change in how I view my development tools. I alluded to that change in direction in that blog entry. In this entry I flesh out major details. Well, not just the details, which can be pretty boring. The rationale for choices that lead to the details are pretty interesting (read: it's possible to argue each choice at least 2 ways). And because the choices reflect a choice I thought I would never make, the act of declaring the choices is a bit scary.
Farewell, .Net, I Hardly Knew Ye
Well, I knew you a bit, and there are certainly tools you have that I will miss being able to use. But you are controlled by a brilliant guy who thinks static is good, and dynamic is bad. That developers must be controlled. And that's from his asides during presentations, the unscripted comments. And then there's the impedance mismatch between data and objects, papered over (clumsily) with LINQ and various ORM's, that will persist. For apps that do the data manipulation that I know from our experience to be necessary in full-featured business apps, this mismatch would be a tremendous liability that would not go away. I found ways to work around it, but these are pretty convoluted, and most importantly would not help us get to "everywhere," which is where we need to be.
And that's the killer issue, and why we're leaving you behind. Yes, Miguel and the Mono team are doing great work in making .Net run everywhere. But running everywhere bumps up against memory, security, and bandwidth considerations. Our programs are not lightweight demos, but heavy hitters fit for power users doing complex work. Practically speaking, that means running on Javascript on the client (thanks to the spectacular progress in Javascript engines): nothing goes to the client but the application.
Hail Python, My Good Buddy
Working with complex domains requires complex code. And that in turn means that the feedback loop of code-observe-code gets taxed. Simple things that you've done 20 times don't tax the feedback loop, but expert apps, designed for Tier 1 and Tier 2 businesses (largest and next-to-largest, on a scale of 1 to 4), by definition are complex. If they were simple, or even sort-of-simple, anyone could and would do them.
Nobody gets complex creation, in any field, right the first time. Even The Masters covered up their painting mistakes. The difference with software is that it can always be changed. But to change it the feedback loop has to be engaged. And there is nothing more beneficial in enhancing feedback loop efficiency than working in a dynamic language that allows observing and changing values during runtime. And that's where Python (and other dynamic languages) fit.
Python is a very clean, straight-forward, dynamic and object-oriented language, with a huge base of users (#6 on the Tiobe index and rising, and in fact rising faster than C#, which is #5 by .2% over Python –- at the present rate, Python will overtake C# early in the coming year). It is one of the "official" languages at Google (the Google App Engine has Python and Java SDK's), Yahoo, Nasa, etc. It has easy-to-use libraries for every purpose imaginable. It runs everywhere. While there are other like languages (e.g., Ruby, also with a huge user base, but is at #11 on the Tiobe index, and actually falling in relative place), none are as clean and straightforward, and as complete, as Python. Most importantly, Python has available established (V 1.0 or later) frameworks for getting applications everywhere, as mentioned above.
A VFP programmer used to programming in objects can learn enough Python to be productive in a weekend.
Going Everywhere With Python
The key to making apps run everywhere is Javascript. Sounds crazy to those of us who worked with Javascript in the old days. Back in 2001, I think, I created a little web site that stored, searched, and displayed KB artcles without page refreshes, using an invisibly small frame to execute Javascript that did all the work of querying an html-based web service. It was snappy enough, but I couldn't imagine trying to do more than that. How things change.
The big change has been Google: their goal has been, and is, to supplant what we think of as the Operating System with what is essentially a Browser. The Google Netbook, running the Chrome (as in Browser) OS, on a reference hardware implementation, was released 3 days ago (2010/12/7). It has no hard drive. It is, they hope, the Microsoft Windows killer. It will have ( "will" because 3rd-party implementations of the hardware spec will arrive in the Q1-Q2 timeframe next year) Citrix and Terminal Services clients. At first, those clients will be needed to access Windows apps. But over time, the middleman always gets eliminated, elipsed. Over time, apps will be written to write to the Google App Engine, or equivalent, because there is no reason not to, and good reasons (TCO for The Enterprise) to do so.
Python and JavaScript
I mentioned in the first Reset blog entry the existence of frameworks where you program in Python and it gets converted to JavaScript. Which means having the power of OOP, and the run-everywhere-ness of JavaScript. pyjamas, the most flexible of the two frameworks mentioned (the other is Titanium, a worthy contender, especially for creating apps to sell/give away in the iTunes store), translates (thanks to a translation engine written in Python) from Python to JavaScript. You can even write classes in Python, a concept that does not exist in JavaScript, and they will be translated to JavaScript.
In addition, and actually the driving motivation for pyjamas, is the Google Web Toolkit, which includes a set of widgets that can run anywhere, but which unfortunately is programmable only in Java. pyjamas has rewritten those widgets in Python, which then gets converted to JavaScript for runtime. Adding widgets in, e.g., HTML5, is a reasonably easy exercise. Creating composite widgets and adding those is a reasonably easy exercise.
There's More, Of Course
There's a lot more to the Python story, of course, but this blog entry has been about why not .Net, and why Python. I'll dig into more details in the next blog entry or two in this series.

As an unabashed Meat Puppets fanatic, the show at The State Room on Tuesday night was just what I was looking for--a mix of old-school punk classics, unexpected weird-out jams and new songs that don't get nearly enough play.
The brothers Kirkwood have been visiting SLC for years, from their early SST Records' "punk" days to more recent sonic excursions accompanied by stellar live shows, and Tuesday night's gig at The State Room certainly qualifies as a memorable one. Brothers Curt Kirkwood (guitar and vox) and Cris Kirkwood (bass) led drummer Shandon Sahm (scion of Austin music legend Doug Sahm) and guitarist Elmo Kirkwood (son of Curt) through a set of sprawling indie-rock jams that let all in attendance know that age and time have done nothing to take the edge off the Meat Puppets' sound.
The band spent the first few minutes sans vocals, including a stellar take on "The Whistling Song," before delving into a set spanning their career. "Touchdown King" and "Plateau" led into an inspired take on "Up on the Sun," complete with a lengthy instrumental jam.
The Salt Lake City show did include some new material from the band's latest release, Rat Farm, and the show was the better for it. "Waiting" was a highlight, with all musicians on stage playing along while Curt sang, "Everything's cool. Everything's fine." After the frenzy of old songs and sped-up presentations of familiar favorites, the relatively languid "Waiting" was welcome.
After that, it was a blaze through "Sam," with the brothers speed-rapping in unison, as well as the classic "Lost" and the sorta hit "Backwater." Curt Kirkwood continuously ripped out tasty lead solos while the rest of the band settled into winning grooves on songs like the Beach Boys' cover "Sloop John B" and "Lake of Fire."
The encore included the excellent "Open Wide" from the under-appreciated gem of an album, Forbidden Places, and by the end of the night, the Meat Puppets seemed to have created some new converts to their sound. That's no easy task for a band that's been kicking around for more than 30 years, but few of the band's peers can equal the Meat Puppets' ability to showcase serious instrumental chops and acid-fried philosophical and lyrical gymnastics.

This kernels are the routines called by each thread, so the way to call them is exactly the same than the way to call BLAS or Lapack functions. If you don't know them, one of the fastest way to do is to google the routine's name and read the explanation at the beginning of the file.
By the way, you shouldn't use the functions in core_lapack because they will be remove in the next release because they are copy/paste from Lapack and core_blas routines are now written in C. So you should probably wait for the July 4th and the new release to use them or, if you can, use directly Lapack functions.
