SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. — Plans on where to base the U.S. military's next-generation fighter jet, the F-35, concern people in communities from California to Florida to Maine who worry the aircraft are too loud.
In Vermont, where the Air National Guard has flown planes from Burlington International Airport for more than 60 years, opponents are especially vocal. But in other communities, even some long accustomed to the roar of military aircraft, the noise of the F-35 has been an issue.
South Burlington City Council President Rosanne Greco, a retired Air Force officer, said she favored bringing the F-35 to her community until she read the draft environmental impact statement released last spring.
The F-35s "will have incredibly significant negative impact on up to 10,000 people who will be unfortunate enough to be in the noise contour zone that the federal government deems unsuitable for residential use," Greco said. "For me it's become a clear-cut analytical choice. The facts say this is harmful to our environment."
The report, she said, considers exposure to average aircraft noise greater than 65 decibels (about the sound of a vacuum cleaner about three feet away) "not considered suitable for residential use." Another section discusses the potential long-term health impacts of exposure to aircraft noise.
The plane's supporters say Greco is exaggerating the number of people who would be affected by the noise contour zone. And they believe she and others are cherry-picking information from the report without providing its full context. There is a section of the report that discusses long-term health effects, for example, but it concludes there aren't any significant health impacts.
The Air Force already has chosen where it will base the F-35s, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, for training. The next step is to decide where to base the first operational planes, those that would be ready for war.
"Vermont is the most vocal, but Vermont is the preferred alternative for the Guard unit," Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said. "But it's the not the only alternative."
Plans are to base 18 to 24 of the new aircraft in South Burlington by 2020. The military's final decision on the first round of operational bases is expected next spring.
How much louder the planes are than other aircraft is debatable. Opponents cite Air Force charts indicating the F-35 can be at least twice as loud as the F-16 now flown out of Vermont. Others say that's an unfair comparison because measuring sound involves everything from how the planes are flown to weather conditions, the time of day and how long people are exposed.
F-35 supporters in Vermont say the opponents — who have a Facebook page and a separate website — are a small group of activists who number maybe 300. The city of South Burlington, home to the airport, opposes the planes, mostly because of the noise.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and the state's congressional delegation favor bringing the F-35 to Vermont. There are three pro-F-35 Facebook pages and one business group has collected almost 11,000 signatures in support.
If the 18-plane option for Vermont is chosen, considered most likely, the F-35 isn't expected to bring new jobs to the area but it would guarantee about 1,100 well-paying jobs already here. Six additional planes would add about 250 more jobs.
If the Vermont Guard isn't chosen, Col. David Baczewski, commander of the Vermont Guard's 158th fighter wing and a veteran F-16 pilot, said there would be no immediate impact on the current F-16 operations in Burlington.
He said he worries that if the Department of Defense orders another round of base closings, Vermont could be forced to compete against other guard units to keep its role as a front-line fighter base.
Noise concerns have followed the F-35 since it first began flying. Pegged at about $130 million each for the Air Force version, it is the military's most expensive procurement program ever. The F-35 is designed to be the nation's supersonic and most advanced fighter through mid-century, with different models for the Air Force, Navy and Marines.

Agility is the ability to start (or accelerate), stop (or decelerate and stabilize), and change direction quickly, while maintaining proper posture. Agility requires high levels of neuromuscular efficiency to be able to maintain one's center of gravity over their base of support while changing directions at various speeds. Agility training will enhance dynamic flexibility, dynamic postural control, functional core strength, and proprioception.
Proper agility training will also help prevent injury by enhancing the body's ability to effectively control eccentric forces in all planes of motion as well as by improving structural integrity of the connective tissue.

Measuring around 26cm in length, or roughly 2cm less than the Radeon HD 5870, the card will draw power from a six-pin + eight-pin power connector combination and feature dual-link DVI and mini-HDMI outputs. Pricing is supposedly set at $499 and the TDP rating is quoted a being below the 300W threshold, apparently at 250W. Leaked pictures show the card will occupy two slots and feature a cooling system design with protruding heatpipes.
The less powerful GTX 470 on the other hand will reportedly make do with 448 shader processors while offering a core clock of 607MHz, shader clock of 1,215MHz, and a memory clock of 1,674MHz. The card will have a 320-bit memory interface and 1280MB of GDDR5 memory, along with a TDP of 225W and a more sensible $349 price tag.
According to VR-Zone, internal benchmarks reveal that the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 are some 5-10% faster than the Radeon HD 5850 and 5870 respectively. Such estimations are of course unofficial, but we'll have clearer idea of the value behind these cards when benchmarks start popping up after next week's launch.

EMU basketball women jump into national rankings

Sometimes, when I am lying in bed at night, waiting for my night sweats do dry up, I like to try and recreate the road that got me here. Here being 50 years old, divorced, kind of a little poor and job hunting. Of course there are many good things in my life as well, but being Jewish, we don't like to dwell on that.
I always go back to the day four years ago. I was in my laundry room, folding my new green striped bath towels (Macy's hotel collection, OMG, heaven!) when a hulking shape filled the doorway and darkened the entire area around me. It was my husband, and I was quite surprised because, as far as I could remember, he had never been to the laundry room. "I need to talk to you," he said in his booming voice, "And, it isn't good. It isn't good."
Obviously, this can mean only one thing. CANCER! I mean cancer. We Jews never say that word out loud. We only whisper it so that God doesn't hear us. We don't want to call attention to ourselves.
I looked him up and down — 245 pounds, great head of hair, nice healthy complexion, and no weird rashes or moles. I'm guessing very early testicular. I pictured myself next to his bedside after the surgery and holding his hand during the chemo. Yes! I can do this.
Here's the thing, my kind tend to deal with illness and death as though it isn't really happening. For instance who can forget the letter we received from my grandfather with this little tidbit: "Hi Everyone! How are all my angels? I hope you are not too hot in Florida! We are all well here, except for Uncle Stanley who died last night. Love Gramps."
Once the soul has left this Earth, we don't keep the body around. We put it in a pine box, drop it in the ground, and start eating. We have a ritual called "Sitting Shiva" where for seven days the bereaved do not cook or do any type of housework. Friends and family come in with food and good cheer so that the person in mourning is never alone. We wear a tiny piece of black cloth pinned to our clothes to remind us that we have lost a loved one. All our mirrors are covered with sheets, as this is no time to be vain.
At the end of the seven days, one is expected to tackle life again. It is a lovely ritual, and it brings peace and closure to the grieving. It is like, "O.K., you're done, let's go play mahjong."
Well, needless to say, he did not have cancer. He had a young, Swiss girlfriend whom I will refer to as Giselle. After explaining this new development to me (actually not so new; it had apparently been going on for over a year), he said, "I think if I could have some time alone, I could figure this out."
Next thing I know, his soft-sided Tumi is on the bed being filled with underwear and Tommy Bahama shirts. I read "It's Martini Time Somewhere" on the back of one that I had never seen before. I noticed his hair — once something I was so proud of as the skulls of my friend's husbands became more and more visible — was longer and blonder than usual. I pictured young, European, Swiss hands running through it. I forgot: What were the Swiss known for? Chocolate? Are they blonde usually? Aren't they all gymnasts?
Anyway, that was where the road began, and I have always had a bad sense of direction. Along this road I have stopped to procure an attorney with pink hair, made a u-turn and went back to college, and traveled a construction zone, with a lot of Match.com dates, one which included spankings. This darn trip will be the death of me. I mean the death of me.

openoffice development is at 3.4 now with so many improvements. It's insane to go back to using the 3.3 branch...

The Zephyr is your dream machine if you appreciate the finesse of light wind flying and the subtler finger and wrist control you´ll develop after you master the basics. While not a fragile ultralight for zero-wind flying, it's designed for those lighter, sweeter winds you'll crave as you learn to stall, slide, and control the kite gracefully at the edges of the envelope.
The Zephyr is beautifully balanced, as comfortable floating on its back as it is in a stall. The hand-wrapped SkyShark graphite spars Prism uses in their top-end competition kites give you instant response for a masterful touch. Highly maneuverable in all attitudes, you'll execute the most challenging moves with utter control. We designed no-snag leading edge pockets and included yo-yo stoppers so the wing rolls around itself easily for all the latest aerobatic moves. The Zephyr also features a 17 gram removable spine weight so you can change the balance point for different winds and flying styles.
For 2011 Prism has added three vibrant new colour combination and simplified the Zephyr package to include one 100' x 90# Spectra line set and a nicely detailed, embroidered travel bag.
Video is to demonstrate the Zephyr's flight performance. The Zephyr has an updated case design as seen in pictures above. The hard case is no longer available.
Yo-Yo Stoppers The T-shaped steel weight included with your Zephyr allows you to change the balance of the kite for advanced tricks such as yo-yos and other "pitch unstable" moves in stronger winds. The removable weight slides into the tip of the spine and is secured by the Velcro strap around the tail. It adds 17 grams (.6 oz) to the kite and moves the center of gravity slightly lower, giving the kite a more radical edge and allowing you to flip it on its back and into yo-yo maneuvers with less effort. Adding weight also tames the kite in stronger winds because the wind has to do more work to keep it flying. With weight, your Zephyr will fly slower and pull less hard as the breeze comes up, a nice bonus that lets you fly the kite in a wider wind range. Advanced pilots typically use the weight in winds above 10 mph, or with a particularly aggressive flying style.
Spine Weight The Yo-Yo is an advanced trick in which you flip the kite on its back and then all the way around so that the lines are wrapped one or more times around the kite. Many other radical combination's are possible based on the yo-yo. The two rubber fittings on the leading edge between the upper and lower spreader elbows act as hooks to catch the lines in a position that lets you steer the kite around in a rolled-up position before you unroll it with a crowd-pleasing flourish.
Adjustable Leechline The leechline runs inside the trailing edge and is tensioned and tied off at the wingtips, it stabilizes the trailing edge of the sail and prevents it from fluttering in flight, keeping the kite silent. With the leechline loose, the sail will buzz in flight, especially in stronger winds. By adjusting the tension on the leechline you can set the kite up for your preferred flying style. We tend to prefer the tight precision and reduced pull of a loose leechline, but some pilots don't like the noise and prefer the silky-smooth feel of a silent setup.

Open Air Museum of Naples - The Streets of the Art
Tourist Reception Center of Open Air Museum of Naples
In Via Pietro Colletta, in the heart of Ancient Centre of Naples, it is the first tourist reception center of the city.
It is a modern 800 square meters facility developed on two levels, offering toursts and citizens, a variety of useful services to help them discovering Naples.
The main part of the activity is based on the audio-guide service, in 6 different languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese) supported by a booklet and by information boards by each monuments included in the 4 itineraries: the Major Decuman (also called the Main Decuman), the Superior one and the Inferior one, better known as "Spaccanapoli".
The fourth itinerary is constituted by the narrow streets perpendicularly intersecting the Decumans; they all together are the grid of the Ancient Greek-Roman Town.
An there is a lot more. Inside of Tourist Reception Center of Open Air Museum of Naples there are: a corner where it is possible to taste the original pizza made first quality ingredients, an exhibition area, a conference room, a bookshop with lots of books of Naples and surroundings and a corner dedicated to local craftsmanship.
Among the other services, there is an information point, a luggage deposit and toilets.
The high quality of the offer at a very competitive cost is the force of this new structure that is strongly willing to become the starting point for experiencing Naples, but also a place where tourist, after a long and tiring day, can feel at home.
The Ancient Centre of Naples, marked by the old "Decumans", has an undeniable fact: the strong presence of artefacts of inestimable value inserted into a fabric of a living city.

Leaders must earn respect
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:20 p.m.
Editor: As I read Mr. (David) Norman's letter on Thanksgiving Day, it reiterated what some of the problems that we have to accept or deny personally.
First, the fact that our elected politicians blame each other for all the problems, but cannot offer any solutions for any of them, cancels the feasibility that progress can be made. Second, if the different parties cannot work together, nothing will be resolved. Third, if we don't get Americanism and patriotism reactivated, we will continue to split into more different ways and procedures. Fourth, everybody does not have the same opinion or respect for Martin Luther King or President Obama.
The bottom line is that we still have the freedom to vote and respect whoever is elected only if they deserve it. We have not seen any leader who can be respected to represent the United States of America with Americanism, patriotism and honor.

Local chef Elio Scanu closed out the much acclaimed annual Chefdance on the 2012 event's fifth and final night Tuesday with a culinary line-up that spanned goat cheese crème brulee to smoked sea bass.
"What I did tonight was my more personal interpretation of cuisine," says Scanu, who presented a three -course meal along with an amuse-bouche and dessert.

Blending his Italian and Venezuelan heritage, Scanu stepped away from his traditional menu at Zucca Trattoria to deliver dishes like yucca gnocchi, suckling pig with tonka bean and petit fours made with Venezuelan cacao. "This was more South America with Italian and European nuances," says Scanu, noting he worked on the menu for nearly a month before settling on a final line-up and used many ingredients that are indigenous to South America.

Sponsored by Nicholas and Co.—as well as national sponsors Sorel, Yogurtland, Sotheby's, Voss water, Cascal soda and Diageo—the event and venue provided a culinary haven for the filmmakers, actors and celebrities who have descended on Main Street for the Sundance Film Fest. Carole Kane, Mike Birbiglia ("Sleepwalk with Me"), Spike Lee, Tommy Lee, Lou Diamond Phillips and Melanie Lynskey (who is getting some major attention for her role in "Hello, I Must Be Going")—all attended over the event's five days and were catered to by an impressive roster of chefs including Scanu, Chad White and Jeff Bonilla, Javier Plascencia, Hung Huynh and Donatella Arpaia.
Actors Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr ("Save the Date") at Chefdance.
"Here, you cannot buy a ticket or buy a table," says Kenny Griswold, who founded Chefdance nine years ago and holds the event out of the Memorial Building on Park City's Main Street. His wife is Chefdance President Mimi Kim. "The idea was to create a space where you could put 250 guests together and they would all have a connecting thread. We've had become become partners, decide to do business and become couples."
Scanu goes over service with the staff and culinary students.
Students from local culinary schools, including the Art Institute, Weber Basin Job Corps and Utah Valley University among others, worked alongside Scanu and the other chefs throughout the week. "They get the opportunity to work with some of the best chefs in the country," says Nicholas and Co. Corporate Chef Michael L. Nook, who arranges for the students to work during Chefdance. "And this opportunity might give them the chance to work with these chefs again after tonight."

Today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened the world's largest library and archives devoted to rock and roll music. The Library and Archives is located in downtown Cleveland at the Center for Creative Arts on Cuyahoga Community College's (Tri-C) Metropolitan Campus. The state-of-the-art structure is where library and archives professionals collect, preserve and provide access to primary and secondary resources relating to rock and roll history. A grand opening dedication will take place during the week of the 2012 Induction Ceremony on Monday, April 9.
Upon opening, students and music scholars were eager to explore the 22,500-square-foot Library and Archives' repository of materials relating to the history of rock and roll, including vast collections of books, periodicals, and commercial audio and video recordings, as well as hundreds of archival collections containing personal papers, business records, photographs, posters, audio and video materials. In keeping with the mixed-media content available, 11 multimedia workstations allow users to view and listen to recorded material and to conduct online research.
Visiting researchers now have access to never-before-seen materials, including the archival collections of some of popular music's most significant figures, including Alan Freed, Clive Davis, Ahmet Ertegun, Milt Gabler, Mo Ostin, Joe Smith, Seymour Stein and Jerry Wexler. Extensive video footage of the Museum's past events are also available, including Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies, the American Music Masters series, the Hall of Fame series and the Songwriters to Soundmen series.
The Library and Archives is a green building that has been designed to meet the requirements of the United States Green Building Council's LEED–Commercial Interior standards and is seeking LEED Silver Certification. This includes employing energy-saving devices and equipment, recycled materials and environmentally safe substances. Additionally, more than 90 percent of all waste generated during construction was diverted from landfills to recycling facilities.
The opening of the Library and Archives significantly expands the Rock Hall's educational mission. It brings together a diverse community of people interested in learning more about rock and roll, and sharing their knowledge with others: scholars, teachers, students, fans, journalists and artists. Through conferences, symposia, and research opportunities for students and faculty, it will be the hub for the academic study of popular music. (pictured: students queue for new library cards)

We are now in Holy Week, the high point of the Church's year. On Holy Thursday, we will receive, as if for the first time, the gift of Jesus' Body and Blood, given at the Last Supper. On Good Friday, we will kiss the Cross, the instrument of our salvation. On Holy Saturday, we will meditate by His tomb, when He descended among the dead. We will keep vigil for His resurrection. And on Easter, we will celebrate with triumphant joy the victory of life that came with His Resurrection.

What is the difference between verbs beschränken and einschränken? Do these two words have the same meaning or maybe they mean something different?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The two words are synonyms, but you can't simply exchange the one with the other in every case because they are often used in phrases, for example
Here are the the definition of both words in Duden online with some examples:
beschränken is something to happen, e.g. @splattne
beschränken thus is more of passive for the one experiencing it (the customers either live in Switzerland or not), and generally refers to the object of the sentence as experiencing party.
the result of this sentence is the same as above but gives more of the active impression:
einschränken is more of reflexive active, meaning: someone restricts his own freedom of action for some reason, again see @splattne:
opposing to;
einschränken is usually in a reflexive context with
Of Course you can use einschränken in an active context, and beschränken reflexive, but this is not as common.
In general the meaning is the same and they can be used synonymously, but einschränken in general stands with reflexive sich and beschränken in general stands with a dativic object etwas
In this example the words are replaceable:
While here a replacement would change the sense of the sentence
The Surveillance itself has no borders, but these borders cannot be fully exploited, as some other circumstances define a smaller exploitable area
The Surveillance itself is limited, and not "restricted" by external influences, but in itself.
Here the correlation between "restrictor" and "restricted" inverts, opposing to the verbal use. --> eingeschränkt refers to external restrictions and beschränkt to internal.
Though the two are mostly synomymous, there is a slight difference between the two and there are cases in which only one of the two is used. However, it is really difficult to pinpoint the difference (even for a native speaker). I will try anyway:
einschränken is the only option, if the limitation is in respect to some reference:
beschränken is the only option, if the limitation can be directly expressed in form of a clearly defined threshold or area:

Armanda M. Carusilla
Distinguished Waterburian
Mandy was born in Waterbury on Nov. 1,1928, All Saints' Day she would gently remind everyone, and was the proud daughter of Joseph Muscillo and Rose (Logrippo) Muscillo. She was predeceased by her husband Secondino (Signey) J. Carusilla in 1985 and later by her longtime companion, Battista Caro in 2009.
Mandy was a graduate of Crosby High School, class of 1946, where she was known as "Armie." She was the vice president of the Italian Club and a member of the Art Club.
Her early drawings and paintings were remarkable. Mandy's yearbook caption noted that she was " a keen dancer and eager Crosby sports fan." In June 1948, Mandy was graduated from Post Junior College of Commerce with a degree in executive secretarial.
She then began a long, distinguished and cherished career at The Waterbury Savings Bank, beginning with a general assignment in the secretarial pool and rising to assistant manager of the downtown office and later the first manager of the Town Plot office in 1975.
During that career she met many wonderful people and had countless memorable experiences. Among those memories was an armed robbery on Halloween in the late 1960s at a bank branch in which Mandy and the bank employees thought the masked gunman just came for the candy the bank had set out.
In 1986 Mandy had to end her long banking career in order to take care of her aging parents. Always known for her elegant attire and deportment, Mandy exemplified the dignity, generosity, self-sacrifice and culture that belonged to Waterbury's golden era.
While her journey in life included extensive travel in the U. S. and abroad ... she danced with Lawrence Welk, played slot machines with Jack Benny in Las Vegas, visited family and friends in Italy often ... Mandy always made Waterbury her home.
Godspeed Mandy, your journey continues.
Mandy is survived by her brother, John Muscillo of Florida.
Special heartfelt thanks to her aides, Anula Avxhiu, Rudina Dule and Eliona Meraja that provided Mandy with exceptional care and companionship for several years.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 at 10 a.m. at the Chase Parkway Memorial/The Albini Family Funeral Home, 430 Chase Parkway, Waterbury to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception for a Mass at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Family and friends may call at the funeral home Monday from 9 to 10 a.m.

is obamma the best firearms salesman ever?
i know AR-15s, AKM clones, tactical shotguns , pistols and anything hi-cap is flying off the shelves.
and ammo is selling out-- as it takes a lot of 223/5.56 to feed all those AR-15s that the public is buying.
and you got the free AK-47 for mexico program where the BATF is shipping thousands of AKs to drug cartels.
and crime has run rampant by the "in-justice dept" that is letting hardened criminals out early to save a few $$.
hell i am even re stocking my ammo supply as i am figuring it will be a long time --if ever prices on ammo become reasonable again. and i had plenty before--
obamma ain't done much for the economy --but guns and ammo are selling well --far beyond what a depressed economy should see.
and the irony is the big "O" and co want to REGULATE guns and ammo--
possibly eliminating the last jobs and the last little boom economy in the USA!
sort of ironic ain't it?
the question for today is --
is Obamma the best firearms salesman for public ownership of all time?

The energetic, vivacious pair of Joy Wiliams and John Paul White repeatedly showed why 2011 is likely to make them much better known, and fast. The duo will spend most of next week playing hard-to-see shows at Sundance, but Salt Lake City was given a first-class preview of what oh-so lucky moviegoers and celebrities have in their immediate future.
Using only John Paul White's battered Gibson acoustic as rhythm for much of the gig, the two rolled through a folky, energetic set that was virtually a non-stop highlight. Although the crowd was wowed by each of the show's 11 songs, the highest points came with a scintillating cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and the group's own "My Father's Father." The Civil Wars repeatedly wowed the crowd with their air-tight harmonies swooping over, around and through the acoustically-dialed in venue. Keep in mind while there is a free downloadable "album" on the band's website, their official debut, "Barton Hollow," doesn't drop until Feb. 1. Not surprisingly, they lit up the title track, just as they did last week on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
How warm was the reception? Warm enough that Williams was actually started by the loud roar that followed the show's opener, "Tip Of My Tongue." The band is less than 3-years old and "Falling," - the first song the group penned together - still sounds new and was warmly received. Another cover ended the night, Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me To The End of Love." The audience then sent the duo off to Park City with a standing ovation.
Earlier, Provo's Parlor Hawk opened the show and was also warmly received. The band's thoughtful, indie-folk went over well. Some of the 32-minute set's highlints included "Lark," and "Second Skin."

Call it the "Nightmare Before Christmas" curse, if you must, but Halloween is challenging Christmas' supremacy as the nation's most blown-out, over-marketed and hyper-monetized holiday.
It's even reached into the arts. Where dance companies once depended on confections like "Nutcracker" to subsidize their more edgy endeavors, the Odyssey Dance Theatre has made a danse macabre its annual cash cow with its spooky "Thriller" performances.
If you've sat through a few "Nutcracker" performances, you'll agree: This is a good thing.
What better way to get into the trick-or-treat mood than watching dancers evoke Frankenstein's love story, celebrate serial murderers, traipse about with chainsaws or gyrate in the beloved classic "River of Blood Dance."
To make it extra creepy, "Thriller," like its anti-matter counterpart "Nutcracker," incorporates child dancers—nothing's as unsettling as a toddler ghoul.
ODT will perform "Thriller" at six locations this year, ranging from Park City to St. George.
September 28th – October 7th – Egyptian Theatre, Park City 435/649-9371, www.parkcityshows.com

GOP takes away rights
Published: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
Editor: Time and again I've read on The Dispatch opinion page letters to the editor accusing President Obama of gradually taking away our rights as U.S. citizens. Little to no mention was made as to which rights are being eroded. Truth is you don't have to look all the way to Washington, D.C., to know which rights are being threatened. You can see it happening just 100 miles east of here, in Raleigh.
Republicans took control of the N.C. General Assembly in 2010 and maintained that control in last year's election, which also added a Republican governor. Here are a just a few of the rights you have lost or will soon lose:
1. Voter ID, which will suppress voter turnout.
2. Fewer days of early voting further suppressing voter turnout.
3. Diverting public school money ($90 million) and giving the funds for vouchers to private schools.
4. Eliminating newspaper ads notifying the public of upcoming public business (in certain areas of the state) and hiding these notices away in government websites (you can blame Republican state Sen. Tommy Tucker. Remember: "I am the senator. You are the citizen. You need to be quiet.").
These are just a few of the short-sighted, narrow-minded, ridiculous views of those holding the power in Raleigh. Even one loony legislator proposed allowing the state/counties/cities to declare an official religion. To misquote that great American, Waylon Jennings, "Republicans do know how to carry on."

Cross Country Returns To Action In Peoria
Sept. 12, 2003
Peoria, Ill. After a two-week break from competition, the UIC cross country team resumed their season by taking on a packed field at the 18th Annual Bradley Open on Friday afternoon.
Junior Mikhail Davidyan led the UIC men with an individual time of 26:15.12 at the 8-kilometer course, finishing 46th in a field of 184. The Flames, who finished tenth overall in the men's 13-team Division 1-A university competition, were also paced by freshman Sam Watson (54/26:27.11), Tristan Roche (75/27:05.81), and Jim Sulzberger (78/27:08.17).
Junior Graham Waller (91/27:23.69), freshman Billy Poole-Harris (120/28:06.81), and sophomore Steve Jeske (136/28:50.55) rounded out the event for the Flames.
Southern Illinois took the men's Division 1-A crown at the event, while Lewis University captured the college division team title. Northern Iowa's Velibot Redojevic (24:47.99) edged the Salukis' Eli Baker (27:49.80) for first place.
Senior Jenni Goebel led the way on the women's side, finishing 20th individually at a time of 18:22 to push the Flames to a sixth place team finish in the 14-team Division 1-A university competition. Junior Lizet Diaz placed 34th with a time of 18:46, followed by Susie Martinez, who placed 44th with a time of 18:57 in her second collegiate race.
It was the first event for Martinez since winning the UIC Invitational on August 30 and earning Horizon League Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week honors.
UIC received excellent performances from freshmen Rachel Covert (49th/19:03), Andrea Dennison (51/19:05), and Lisa Petty (69/19:31), giving all six UIC participants places in the Top 70 among a field of 173 at the 5-kilometer event.
The University of Missouri's 17th-ranked women's squad won the Division 1-A university competition, while Olivet Nazarene won the college division team title. Individually, Marquette's Heidi Lindeman (17:38) held off Missouri's impressive combo of Valerie Lauver (17:40) and Jill Peterson (17:41) for the win.
The UIC men's and women's cross country teams are back in action next Saturday, September 20th as they travel to Kenosha, Wis. for the Midwestern Collegiate Championships at 12 p.m.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shelly Love it! I bought this for my chicken coup outside. It looks adorable hanging above the laying boxes, and weather's the harsh elements very well. My chickens like it too :) May 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Isha Cute! This is so cute! I have it hung in my kitchen and am going to get another for my mom for mother's day. She has hens, so it's perfect! This sign will complement any kitchen decor. March 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by hunter23 cute I bought this for my kitchen to go right above my stove. Right when I saw it I had to get it. It's much more attractive in person, has a nice rustic look. I have a bunch of barred rock chickens and other varieties so this had to come home with me. It has a wire hanger in the back as well as two brackets on the back to easily hang on some nails, which is what I ended up doing. August 8, 2010

The good news for Americans 65 and older: You're living longer, you have more money, and you're more physically fit.
The not-so-good news: Folks from 12 developed countries have better life expectancies, you're working more years to make that money, and you still don't have your hearing or your teeth. Oh, and you're probably fat, too.
NPR reports recent stats from the federal government show life expectancy for Americans is up six years, to 85, over 1980, but we're still outlived by the Japanese, who make it to 89 on average.
According to the broadcaster, the number of poor elderly Americans is down, but more are working after they've reached 62. And, NPR adds, 41 percent of Americans older than 65 have trouble walking, cooking, bathing or doing other activities, a number that's down from nearly 50 percent in 1980. However, almost 50 percent of men and about 30 percent of women have hearing loss, while 25 percent don't have any of their natural teeth, and almost half of elderly Americans are obese, up from about 25 percent in 1990, according to the report.
In other words, we're sort of getting better with age. Hey, that's something.

'Woodcuts' exhibit - A reverse view of the world
Recent graduates display prints from panoramas to interiors
Published: Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 6:27 p.m.
Like a man-made trail winding through a forest, the woodcuts of recent University of North Carolina Wilmington studio art graduates Christopher Alexander and Ashton Durham tend to show minimal evidence of civilization. Instead, the etched wood panels and their printed counterparts focus in on isolated trees while panning out to broad riversides to offer a high-contrast view of the world we live in.
What: "Christopher Alexander & Ashton Durham: Woodcuts"
Where: The Art Gallery at the Cultural Arts Building, Randall Drive on
the campus of UNCW
When: The show hangs through Aug. 23, with a closing reception
5:30-7 p.m. Aug. 22. Summer gallery hours are noon-4 p.m. Monday-
Details: 962-3440 or www.UNCW.edu/Art
Photo Galleries
"Christopher Alexander & Ashton Durham: Woodcuts" is on display in the Art Gallery of the Cultural Arts Building on the campus of UNCW through Aug. 23. Each print hangs with its respective woodcut panel, showcasing the medium and the method behind it. The wooden panels themselves hide nothing; the entire process is there for the viewer to observe.
As far as palette, Durham and Alexander have two options to work with: black and white. They each painted their panels black before whittling out the low-relief, unpainted portions that translate to white on the prints. At the opening reception for "Woodcuts" in May, they inked up the panels and pressed them to their support surfaces right in the gallery. What is black on the panel became black on the print.
Durham uses this relief printing process to etch arboreal subjects before mostly black nighttime skies.
Trees, some bare and wiry, others thick and hollow, appear illuminated throughout these nocturnal scenes as if lit up by back-porch lights. Throughout her work, the only sign of human activity is a power line pole jutting up and across the evening sky. Durham uses her wooden medium to call attention to this tall, wooden human artifact with perpendicular branches, tree-like in nature. Across the gallery hangs "Time on the River," Alexander's largest work to date, a 12-foot-long, six-panel rendering of the Cape Fear River.
Alexander uses those 12 feet to unroll a panoramic display that captures the girth of the waterway. It's so wide, it's almost like you're actually there, wading in the water.
In one corner of the piece, two tiny figures stand on some manmade surface, either a dock or a ship's bow.
They are minute in comparison to the gaping breadth of the Cape Fear – powerless against its currents.
In "The Palace at Kimberly," Alexander leaves nature for a different kind of habitat: the urban apartment, specifically, his own apartment. Using careful cross-etches, Alexander creates a hazy panoramic rendering of his living room across four panels totaling eight feet wide. Whereas the "Time on the River" panorama almost feels natural, "The Palace at Kimberly" spreads a small space filled with furniture out to unusual lengths, resulting in a sort of dizzying vertigo.
There's a hurried lean to the woodcuts, as if a distant memory of this place is whirling through your mind, brief and ephemeral.

hi! i'm the guy whose name is to the left of this message!
i'll be off-and-on reviewing obscure, rare, or unheard albums that you most likely have never heard!
i'll also accept requests or suggestions to review since i do have other priorities, so help out all you can!
so without further adue... MY FIRST REVIEW!
"Signal Morning" by Circulatory System
this album was the latest commercial release by the band circulatory system, which is a 7 piece band directed by one of the creators of the elephant 6 recording co., Will Hart, who worked with Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel on many side projects, live shows, and simply running the company. the band is considered psychadelic, but most refer to it as an "experimental indie" style.
ok, so this album is very odd on the surface. the cover looks like blocky cloud done by a brush on a piece of jean cloth, but something about it is very inviting. on entry to the album, "Woodpecker Greeting Worker Ant" is just as silly and rousing as you can possibly imaging, with no actual lyrics, and a cacophony of bouncy bass sounds accompanied by scratchy guitar bangings. it does NOT complement the rest of the album though, but it could be for a good reason that i explain later.
the next song sparks things up a little, with a sound reminiscent of a male-singing Jefferson airplane, though a little more calm and smooth. if you hadn't noticed, the song plays alot with different sounds to convey a sense of chaos while introducing you into the new "world". the song almost feels like many different songs all slapped together to make one introduction. the feeling you get from this song is quite triumphant, and it moves you from disorientation to a feeling of genuine progression.
the next couple songs all transition perfectly through "transmission" sounds and feedback from the cooling, smooth lyrical progressions. there are quite alot of points in these songs where the pulse is completely shifted in an instant, but it actually pulls you along for the bumpy ride quite nicely. a good example of this would be "round and round", and "this morning (we remembered everything)". the majority songs have riffs, lyrics, or progressions that nicely tie all the songs together with these simple (yet effective) motifs.
the ending of the album really makes you think. its a little sad to see all of the discordant sounds disappear. and the lyrics are reassuring you that even though you may not understand their method or message, that you will get by in the unforgiving world. its actually quite an effective conclusion. and after hearing the entire thing, i understand why they made the introduction the way it was... it was stating the introduction of impurity to a completely blissful existence, and the listener actually likes the slight impurity more than the blissful, overly-happy existence that plagues the first song.
this album has a lot... a lot of everything. a lot of grooves, a lot of oddities, a lot of story, a lot of thought, and a lot of brilliance.

Rated 1 out of 5 by glowworm4765 Colors are nothing like the photo I never review things for websites but I have also never been this disappointed in a purchase before. In the photo the colors look like a vibrant swirl of shades of blue and green. In reality the rug is almost one shade of dull green that looks slightly paler in certain sections. Unless you are looking for a solid green rug don't buy this product. February 26, 2013

On October 2, the 2011 FORTUNE Battle of the Corporate Bands competition came to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum for the finals showdown. For the past six months, regional competitions were held in Dallas, San Francisco and Chicago, where corporate bands vied for one of eight finalist slots. Bands from across the country – and one from Venezuela – were awarded coveted spots on the finals stage in Cleveland, representing Mattel, Ernst & Young, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Progressive Insurance, ConAgra Foods, Starbucks, Resource Interactive, and Procter and Gamble.
The Battle of the Corporate Bands is held each year to salute the best amateur, company-sponsored bands, and is presented by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), FORTUNE magazine and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The goal of the national competition is to promote the benefits of making music, which have been shown to increase employee morale and improve productivity in the workplace. "Competing in the Corporate Battle of the Bands ranks right up there as one of the best experiences of my life," says Ernst & Young/American PI's Carolyn Powers. "Working with 11 virtual strangers, we created something as a whole infinitely better ...
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to support the Cleveland music scene in featuring performances by local bands every summer, sharing the stage with national artists such as Man Man, Akron/Family and Chairlift during the Museum's Summer Sessions concert series. The city's wide array of artists perform just about every genre of music, and the bi-annual Cleveland Lottery League at the Beachland Ballroom is just one more way the power of music proves to bring people together.
Two years ago something completely original, completely Cleveland, and very special happened when 144 area musicians got together in a way never imagined before as part of the first ever Cleveland Lottery League. Essentially a community art project like no other, 33 all-new bands were formed, their efforts culminating with a concert for something the League was calling, and very aptly so, THE BIG SHOW 2008.
I was there the night of THE BIG SHOW 2008, and no exaggerated-filled explanation written here can truly capture the civic pride and sheer magic of what was presented that night.
Now, two years later, we are one day away from what is planned be a bi-annual event for ...
Executives Jam to Be Crowned Best Corporate Band at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before Celebrity Judges Tommy Lee of Motley Crüe, Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special, and Antoinette Follett of Making Music Magazine
Year after year, the FORTUNE Battle event is indicative of how passionate people are about music. A lot of talent exists in the world. Not all of it makes it to a record label or an internet site. These people have chosen some path other than rock and roll, but still have talent and passion for the music.
On Friday and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd, 8 qualifying bands and their fans from the two regional competitions in Los Angeles and Nashville converged on Cleveland to participate in the 9th annual Fortune Corporate Battle of the Bands event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The bands this year traveled from Kansas, Utah, California, Iowa, New Jersey, Tennessee and Mississippi in hopes to win the crown.
The weekend began with the Gibson Tune Up Party at the House of Blues on Friday night featuring Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special and Lee Roy Parnell playing with Dixie Peach. The band played their ...

Michael C. Hall farewells Dexter
After a seven year relationship with his character, Hall talks about the final season and Dexter's love interest, Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski.PT3M18S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2dw0r 620 349 February 5, 2013
Plans for the future of Showtime's long-running serial killer drama Dexter have been vague as the series heads into its eighth season. But in a discussion with Wall Street analysts, CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves may have revealed when the series will end.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, an analyst's question Monday about coming programming on the CBS-owned pay channel prompted the executive to say: "We have Ray Donovan coming on with Liev Schreiber, which comes on with Dexter's last season starting in June, and then we have Masters of Sex."
Though Showtime is maintaining that nothing has been determined about the show's future, Moonves' comment seems to confirm what many have suspected: that the time is coming for Miami's favorite serial killer to hang up his knife.
The end is in sight for Michael C. Hall's popular serial killer, Dexter.
The show's eighth season will debut on Showtime on June 30. Despite its age, Dexter continues to do well in the ratings. The finale of the show's seventh season was its highest-rated episode ever (and the highest-rated scripted episode on Showtime), with 2.75 million viewers in the US.
Michael C. Hall, who plays the police forensics expert who does some killing on the side, has been nominated five times for an Emmy award but has never won. His co-star Jennifer Carpenter shared with fans on Twitter that Hall would be making his directorial debut with the second episode of the season.
Charlotte Rampling and Sean Patrick Flannery will join the cast for the eighth season.

This past weekend, we headed for the rolling hills of Southeastern Ohio for the 10th annual Nelsonville Music Festival. Family-friendly, ecologically-minded and produced by the non-profit Stuart's Opera House, the festival aims to have an impact on the region and the attendees who will take those missions home. Here are a handful of the top elements and moments we witnessed at the gathering.
1) Pokey LaFarge
The sound of Pokey LaFarge proves there is no such thing as "revival" music, rather, it lives forever. The Bloomington, Illinoise born musician combines elements of swing, country and folk for a unique blend of authentic Americana. Besides seeing Pokey and his 5-piece backing band (which includes bassist Joey Glynn, guitarist Adam Hoskins, Ryan Koenig on harmonica, washboard, and snare drum; TJ Muller on cornet and trombone; and Chloe Feoranzo on clarinet and saxophone) on the main stage, we witnessed an unplugged set on the front porch of the No-Fi cabin on the back of the festival grounds. It was a scene right out of the earliest of music festivals, where people tightly gathered to hear the songs of troubadours and traveling ramblers.
2) Musicians interacting with festival attendees.
Why hide out backstage or on your tour bus when there is so much to take in? Let's not forget the music festival goes beyond the music - there is a communal bond built by thousands of people gathering in a field to enjoy music, food, art and human interaction. We saw members of Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile and Violators, Lucius and Pokey LaFarge take in sets from Michael Hurley, WV White and others all while interacting with the festival attendees.
3) The adolescent/teen element
From the painting to the parades and puppets, there was plenty of activities for families and childern to become involved with the festival. We even took in a set from two after-school bands, Periodic Fits and Gravity Free. Their covers of rock staples were spot on and one young aspiring musician wearing a Jimi Hendrix shirt nailed his Eddie Van Halen's famous "Eruption" solo.
4) Frank Turner
Since the disolution of his band Million Dead, the former punk/hardcore rocker created a successful career with an acoustic guitar by combining some of that punk angst with folk. Before Turner took the stage with his backing band, The Sleeping Souls, we spoke to him about his influences, among them were 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Cat Stevens and Nirvana.
When speaking of Nirvana, Turner says, "Nirvana kind of knocked me onto a different course like most kids my age and sort of pushed me towards punk rock."
Turner admits he is a big fan of Cat Stevens, saying "I think he's a great songwriter. He's got this poise to his songwriting, which is impressive."
The festival's first night headliner made sure to include songs beyond his latest release, 2013's Tape Deck Heart, in his 14-song set and get the crowd involved with sing-a-long anthems and scripted jumping jacks during "Recovery."
5) The Avett Brothers
Since headlining the Nelsonville Music Festival in 2008, the Avett Brothers have released three full-length albums with the help of acclaimed producer Rick Rubin. Their infectious live shows and stirring harmonies and a host of late-night talk show appearances have propelled them to international recognition. The Avett Brothers' 10:30 p.m. headlining set on Saturday, saw a great mix of popular songs, fan favorites and covers, including the Appalachian standard "Cluck Old Hen" as the set opener and "Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora)" during the encore.
Open now through January 31, 2015, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presents its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience - an immersive and engaging look at the music festival as more than just an outdoor concert, but as a community experience.
Whether it's forging human bonds, building a sense of community, providing broad exposure for musical artists – both old and new – or as one of the most important economic engines of the music industry, the story of the music festival is inextricably linked with music's powerful cultural impact around the globe.
