Women's Swim/Dive Ready To Challenge For 2014 Ivy League Championship
LIVE VIDEO: Day 1 l Day 2 l Day 3
Sophomore Elizabeth McDonald sat in the stands at DeNunzio Pool, wearing an orange shirt with the word "Tradition" in black letters, and compared the upcoming weekend to a bullfight.
It may seem like a strange analogy, but she explained it well.
"If the bull gets too excited in the cage, everything goes out of control," said McDonald, a 2013 first-team All-Ivy honoree. "We've done a pretty good job of keeping that energy in, and we can let it explode this weekend."
Princeton has seen the best from several of its Ivy League opponents throughout the season. Now, the Tigers are ready to show their best, and they know it's the most important time to do so.
The 2014 Ivy League Championships will be held Thursday-Saturday at the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center in Providence. All sessions (11 am prelims; 6 pm finals) will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network, and there will be a site with live results as well (see links above).
Princeton has won 21 Ivy League championships, which is equal to the number of titles won by all other teams combined, and the Tigers have won 11 of the last 14 Ivy titles. Last season, Princeton shocked an unbeaten Harvard squad by more than 100 points to win the championship at DeNunzio.
This will be the first time that Women's Ivies will be held at the new Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center, which hosted the men's meet last year, but Princeton does have experience at the pool. It won the Brown Open there bu more than 200 points in December of 2012.
While the site will be a first, the challenge remains as daunting as ever. Not only is Harvard a strong challenger for the title, but Columbia enters the weekend off its best season ever. The Lions won the dual meet championship during the regular season, and anything short of an Ivy title would be a big disappointment.
Yale has several of the league's best swimmers, while Cornell had one of its best regular seasons in years. Brown is at home, and both Penn and Dartmouth return Ivy League individual champions.
And then there is Princeton, which has quietly focused on its own training this season. The goal has been simple — be at their best for the Ivy Championships, and see what happens.
It's time to see.
Leading the way for Princeton will be senior co-captain Lisa Boyce, a seven-time Ivy League individual champion and a 2013 All-America. Boyce is the three-time reigning champ in the 100 back, and she has won back-to-back titles in both the 50 and 100 free.
Boyce has the Ivy's best time this season in all three events, while sophomore teammate Nikki Larson has Top 10 times in both the 50 and 100 free.
Larson is part of a loaded sophomore class that — here's that word again — exploded on the scene last season and ignited Princeton's championship charge. She was a top-three finisher in both fly events and a mainstay on relays.
Classmates Sada Stewart and Elizabeth McDonald, both of whom shared thoughts on Ivies in the video above, were also crucial parts of both the individual and relay events. Stewart was the runner-up in both the 100 and 200 back last season, while McDonald was an A finalist in the 50, 100 and 200 free. Both were on victorious relays as well.
They proved that freshmen can make a major impact at Ivies, and there could be a couple Princeton newcomers who do the same this weekend. A prime example is Olivia Chan, who has Top-4 times in both the 100 and 200 breast this season. The duo of Caitlin Chambers and Lisa Li has impressed all season on the diving boards, and they'd love nothing more than to match Rachel Zambrowicz' performance as Ivy League Diver of the Meet in 2011.
Of course, Zambrowicz herself may have something to say about that, as she and classmate Randi Brown lead one of Princeton's deepest diving groups in years to the weekend competition.
Depth is the ultimate word at Ivies. Where dual meets tend to favor individual champions, the conference meet requires excellence throughout the team. Princeton has excelled in that area in the past, sending multiple swimmers from preliminaries to 'A' finals in multiple events. A prime example last season was Beverly Nguyen, who earned top-four finishes in three events as a freshman last season. Classmate Morgan Karetnick reached one 'A' final last year, but she also won two 'B' finals for crucial points.
While some expected names will provide big points, there is often a swimmer or two who delivers a performance that both adds to the team score and inspires teammates.
Ultimately, the tradition that McDonald proudly showed while talking about Ivies has been developed through brilliant efforts up and down the lineup, one year after another.
This year's event, finally, is here.
And this team is ready.

Good news? a WWE show is back in Florida.
Bad news? It's not Orlando.
WWE Extreme Rules will tour through Tampa at the St. Pete Times Forum May 1. The current lineup includes: the Miz, Randy Orton, Kane, Edge, Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Wade Barrett and The Nexus, Jack Swagger, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Michelle McCool, Natalya and Kelly Kelly.
It is the first pay-per-view to hit the St. Pete Times Forum since the 2000 WWE Survivor Series. Tickets range from $20 to $275.
To some sports fans, WWE is a man soap opera, not a legitimate sport. But what is legitimate is the WWE's huge audience.
WWE WrestleMania 2008 in Orlando is one of the largest grossing and most highly attended event in the history of the Florida Citrus Bowl along with the 1994 World Cup. Millions get funneled into the local economy from this event.
Granted, Extreme Rules isn't WrestleMania. But if even just half the WrestleMania audience attends that's good business.
With the Amway Center up and running, it would make an excellent choice for WWE events. Do you want to see "The Miz" back in Orlando sports fans?

At first blush, it's a bit tough to recall a more diverse crowd than the one that gathered for New Mexico troubadour Ryan Bingham's workman-like show at In The Venue. But hey, who doesn't like a working man? Right?
There were guys in cowboy hats alongside mohawk-wearing punksters, heavily made-up girls next to hippie chicks and even a few hipsters scattered amongst the densely packed dance floor. They were all eager to see the former bull rider turned country singer. As a country stylist, Bingham is far more indebted to Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard than Toby Keith or Tim McGraw. The band even veers into rock 'n' roll grooves - with occasional nods to early Zeppelin and radio-friendly '70s rock. Dressed in a flannel shirt and work boots, Bingham did not disappoint and kept the crowd moving with rocking - albeit occasionally plodding - backup from his band The Dead Horses. Relying exclusively on his originals, Bingham focused on rendering his self-penned timeless country laments - hard living, the woes of the working man and the vagaries of travelling. And much to the delight of the roughly 1,200 person audience, he leaned heavily on his 2010 release "Junky Star," with songs including "Strange Feeling In The Air," "The Wandering," and "Hallelujah." The well-lubricated crowd greeted these numbers with whoops of recognition and sang along. Other highlights included "Hard Times," from 2007's "Mescalito," and "Mr. Dylan's Hard Rain" from Bingham's second album "Roadhouse Sun." The somewhat stoic Bingham addressed the audience sparingly and moved briskly through the 13-song, 70-minute set. Despite some flashy solos from guitarist Corby Schaub and steady grooves from bassist Elijah Ford and drummer Matthew Smith, the band never really glided or took off - save for a real spark displayed during "Bluebird." The crowd didn't seem to mind as many audience members danced or moved their heads. By the time Bingham encored with fan-favorite, "Sunrise," the crowed seemed satiated with the performer. And like the troubadour he is, Bingham seemed pleased but not overjoyed with the reaction. Hey, it's his job, right?

We Found the Card Game That Will Make Your Bachelorette Party Fun
Because nothing brings a wedding party together like laughing over naughty jokes
Oh, wedding games. You old fossil, you. Here in the twenty-first century we've got artist-quality wedding photographers, documentary-quality videographers, and DJs that aren't embarrassing, but we're somehow still playing housewares bingo and activities that involve toilet paper. Luckily for all of us, when Cads About Matrimony founder Ailea Sneller realized this, she actually went out and did something about it. Disappointed with what she found when planning a close friend's bachelorette, game-lover Ailea created her own Cards Against Humanity-inspired (don't worry, it's got their blessing), matrimony-themed, party game option:
When I went online to look for ideas and inspiration, all I found were options that anyone who has ever been within a hundred miles of a modern wedding has already been subjected to dozens of times.…Keep Reading

(Source: cellnique.com/)
Name: Cellnique Paramedical Skin Action Sebum Gel
Price: RM 169 for 30 ml
Description: Phyto bio-engineering formulation gel for all skin types to reduce both blackheads and whiteheads on affected skin area without painful extraction. This daily maintenance gel also reduces oil secretion, leaving the skin clear and producing smooth visible results within 10 days of application.
Packaging: White opaque plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. I prefer plastic over glass, klutzy me is always knocking over glass bottles.
Scent: Light minty scent.
Texture: This clear gel glides on smoothly. It feels a tad minty and cooling, very refreshing especially in this hot weather.
It absorbs really quickly. Although it has mattifying properties, I did not experience any tightness when using it.
I was quite worried because I experienced an increase in visible whiteheads whilst using this gel. Selina, the Cellnique PR, allayed my fears when she mentioned that it is a healing process and this only happens to very dehydrated skin. I have reduced my usage as per recommended by Selina but my nose still looks congested after using it for five weeks.
I always thought that I have more whiteheads comparatively. This before and after picture shows that I have plenty of both white and blackheads *ewww*
I also think it helps in reducing breakouts as I experience fewer eruptions after introducing this gel to my skin care routine. One bottle can last a while since I only use it sparingly, about one pump for my entire face concentrating on my T-zone.
I have since stopped using this gel - I do not like having so much visible comedones! I have yet to read a negative review on this product though, so I must be the only person in the world that is not wowed by it. Plenty of other girls experienced good results from this best selling gel, so do be sure to check their reviews out as well.
Ingredients: Purified Water (Aqua), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract, Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Menthol, Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-(Donyl Phenyl)-ω-Hydroxy, Sodium Hydroxide, Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) oil, Male Fern (Dryopteris Filix-mas) Root Extract, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Potassium Azelaoyl Diglycinate, Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Leaf Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.
Special thanks to Cellnique for hosting this mini giveaway. Do share your experience with me once you have tried your sample!

Music is a burst of choices. Not only what note to play when and with what instrument, but whether to play a note at all. Salvador Santana, the 26-year-old keyboardist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter with strong Bay Area roots, knows what it means to navigate the infinite options of music.
Collaboration has always been the centerpiece of his creations, and this passion manifested his solo debut, Keyboard City around the inspirations of a few legends: Bay Area MC/producer Del the Funky Homosapien who helped hone in Santana's writing skills, Beastie Boy studio wizard Money Mark, and GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. The legendary founder of the Wu-Tang Clan rallied support around the album by featuring on the remix of the title track, "Keyboard City."
In March, Salvador Santana will tour extensively in support of the new album with his keyboard-centric band. Check out the album release party in LA this Thursday, free with RSVP. More tour dates here.

2014 Signage Workshop (All day)
Friday, April 11, 2014
Lunch is on your own.
Light morning refreshments will be provided. Please indicate dietary restrictions on your registration form. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
This workshop is offered annually so CKLS libraries have an opportunity to create signs for their library. If you have attended previous sign workshops, you are still welcome to attend. Library signage is much like doing dishes or laundry – the job is never done! Shabby signs need to be replaced. Perhaps you have rearranged your library and need signs to reflect current locations or maybe it is time to update the color scheme in your library and want an inexpensive way to try on a new color.
Registration deadline is March 31, 2014. Because CKLS will purchase and provide supplies and seating is limited, you must register in advance for this workshop.

Conrad's death means another legend is gone
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 4:26 p.m.
Many Davidson County residents may be guilty of taking barbecue for granted. Even as furniture manufacturing and textiles disappeared, Lexington-style barbecue remained the city's calling card. It has spawned the state's largest one-day festival, the Barbecue Festival held each October. The barbecue heritage allowed for a successful new spring event, too, the BBQ Capital Cook-off. It seems like there's a barbecue restaurant ratio of about one to every 20 residents, although it's really not that high.
But change comes even to the barbecue industry, and sometimes that change brings sadness. Such was the case last week with the death of Sonny Conrad, owner of The Barbecue Center. Conrad's death at age 75 means another of the long-time barbecue restaurant owners has died. Conrad joins Jimmy Harvey and Gene Whitley as legendary owners who are no longer with us. In fact, Whitley's no longer exists as a restaurant, nor does another long-time establishment, John Wayne's Barbecue. They were two of the original seven restaurants in the first Barbecue Festival way back in 1984, a group that included The Barbecue Center.
The outpouring of sympathy for Conrad's family testifies more to the man than to the food he served, although satisfied customers will also vouch for its tastiness. Family and friends recalled Conrad as a man who was interested in the lives of others and would always make time to talk. He displayed a solid work ethic that his employees and customers appreciated. He was active at First United Methodist Church and helped athletic booster clubs at Davis-Townsend Elementary and Central Davidson and Lexington Senior high schools. He clearly made a mark in his community.
Thankfully, his restaurant will go on in the capable hands of his sons, Cecil and Michael. That family connection has allowed Jimmy's Barbecue to continue after Harvey's death. Stamey's Barbecue just celebrated 40 years in business in Tyro, and founder Dan Stamey now has his sons, Scoot and Matt, managing his restaurant. Other restaurants also show family ties that bode well for future barbecue lovers.
Restaurants tend to generate a degree of loyalty not often found in other businesses. Many employees have long tenures. Customers come back week after week or even day after day. Children and grandchildren fall into the habit as well. A meal means more than just eating food, but it becomes a time to share fellowship with other patrons and staff.
The Barbecue Center will continue on, even with a touch of sadness at the death of its captain. One way to honor Conrad is to stop by in the next few days and order a chopped sandwich or one of the restaurant's banana splits. Spend a moment not only reflecting on all that Conrad accomplished, but also on how fortunate Davidson County residents are to live in an area with such a culinary specialty that brings visitors from around the world.

Persille de RambouilletGoaty, blue and creamy, this cheese is new to us and is an immediate cult classic among our mongers. It is made by the same traditional farmstead cheesemaker that produces our Brie de Fermier and has just as much complexity. With a pleasing peppery salinity and a finish that stretches to infinity, this cheese will wow goat and blue lovers alike. Try with an off-dry sparking rose or a port-based cocktail. Read More

is there like a dice roller app we put on this forum
we'll find out when he gets back i guess...well what kind of pokemon game
(i just spent that past hour playing random battle on that link x ))
stop giving a fuck about pd. now that the link is removed from the website and editors can't post to the site it's literally just going to die. mewtwo is just being nice enough to let people post here because its their life (dogar)
I liked black 2 and white 2 but I'm willing to do some oldschool style thing. What kind of story would you guys want.
whatever man, it's still fun.
shut up giant squid, you dont know me, im a person with feelings ya know
Its kind of ironic actually, most pokemon communities have problems growing because they have server problems or the main site is trash and they have a lack of dedicated members. Pokedream has a solid main site and server and dedicated members... its just the web developer has rarely if ever interacted with the community it grew.
i would say mewtwo is actively preventing the forum from growing. im not saying its a good thing or bad thing one wei or another, but its pretty obvious.
did you know that Kyurem-Black is OU, not regular crappy Kyurem, the black cover form, and the worst thing is, its not OP, it sucks in comparison to the other pokemon, like Terrakion and Keldeo
i like pretending that legendaries don't exist
they did come out with a bunch of crazy dragons in the past few generations so its not too surprising
milotic seems super weak now though which is just plain nonsense
... So are we doing an RP thing or what?
hey ED!!! itsa me!! LEO!!!
and i've been uber busy lately :/
work has distracted me and i've been trying to do this RBY league for a while now. At work it's mostly been managing and taking care of file storage and maintenance. then there are the stupid army details i have to do, like picking up garbage around the building or moving Humvees around so that they line up and are dress right dress.
then i go to the gym and work out. i've gained some weight and need to burn it off. been eating a little less lately and working out more, which is why i've been sooooo sleeeeepy. another reason why i haven't been doing it.
but after a couple weeks my body should be adjusted and that's when i'll be able to start up.
sorry for the lame excuses, kirby :/

|If at first you don't succeed
|Gosh, is my party the only group that didn't make it?! ha. Camped near Island Lake then in Titcomb Valley (gorgeous). Hoofed it up Bonny Pass (loose rubble). Glaciers running with little rivers of water. Crevasses were all small and you could walk over them easily. Up Gooseneck Glacier... discovered the snow bridge over the bergshrund was melted out. My husband's crampon broke, which he fixed with his wedding ring! Our group pretty much chickened out after seeing the hard ice choice. Hiked back quickly and dodged a nice lightening storm when we got back to our tents! eeek! We'll try again next summer! If you camp at Titcomb, go in and up as far as possible. Start out early on summit day. We left at 5:00am, which in retrospect was a little late. Eat a good breakfast, too! You'll need the energy! August might be too late, too. I think you'll have an easier time going over Bonny Pass in June, when it still has snow on it. have fun!

|Wow, what an experience! Our party of four left on the New Glacier Trail on July 14th, and took 2 1/2 days to make high camp just short of the Tarns. Woke at 0400 for an 0530 trip through the boulder field from hell. Met up with three great folks from Poland who had traversed from the Bonney Pass Route. We all proceeded up the standard route to the snow bridge, which was in great shape. Above that, things got interesting, to say the least. The snow slope turned out to be almost all hard ice, with only a few narrow channels of climbable snow. A rope belay from above was used on the right side of the chute, with crampons and ice axe having almost no purchase in the ice. The remainder of the route was awesome, with some easy snow on the summit traverse. We all enjoyed beautiful summit weather, and then saw the grey puffy clouds we all know and love, moving in fast. On the descent of the snow chute, we rigged a rope belay from the highest rock outcropping and began down one by one. In the middle of this fun, while scrambling for traction, it began to rain! Those of us who had to wait halfway down the gully for the others to downclimb got very cold feet, since all of our socks and boots were soaked from the slushy snow. We all made it down and the weather cleared nicely. The next day, we could visibly see the snow gully had become even more icy since our climb. Be advised this part of the climb will prove very difficult from this point on, and a nice alternative route would be the rock rib to the left of the gully. Don't know how long the snow bridge will remain, but it looked good when we left. This trip was my most rewarding ever, with the trip on the Glacier Trail being all the equal of the summit climb itself. I will have photos posted soon. Good luck, climb safe, and happy trails!

Made our way to the Gooseneck pinacle and dropped about 10 feet into the Bergshrund. Fun climb/ice traverse on the way out. Two steep snow pitches and then mostly rock scrambling to the summit. We rapelled the steep snow and the bergshrund on the way down, made our way across the glacier, up Bonney pass, broke down camp, descend Bonney pass and hiked out as far as we could until it got dark...what a day.

|I climbed Gannett during the third week of my NOLS course after comming up the Grasshopper and Gannett Glaciers from the Orange Wall. We camped at about 11,250' directly below the Grasshopper Glacier, and climbed the glacier and the ridge to the summitt the next day. The weather was perfect and the views were amazing, especially the sunrise from about halfway up the Gooseneck Glacier. We left the next day via Bonney Pass and Knapsack Col before camping about a mile west of Peak Lake. Excellent climbing and one of the most memorable parts of my course.

The glacier was mostly closed up and the steep snow was stable and great for steps. The most challenging part was the approach with a large pack.

I'm very particular about my sleepwear. Always have been. My fist memories of a real nightgown date back to grade school, when, every year, my grandmother gave me a Lanz of Salzberg flannel gown as one of my Hanukah presents. They were so warm and cozy, and I always felt pretty when I wore one of them. In high school, I moved on to giant football jerseys; in college my uniform of slumber was a pair of boxer shorts paired with a ribbed tank top.
And then, post graduation, when my love of boxers faded fast, I decided I wanted to go back to night gowns, but the grown-up variety. I wanted things that were pretty but not slutty, pretty but not overly fussy, pretty but machine washable. It wasn't easy. And then it hit me when I was shopping at the Gap one Spring day and found lots of summery sun dresses—mostly cotton and many in body-loving knit—and it hit me, my perfect night gown solution. Bam! Why not use a simple, well-priced, totally unadorned summer dress as a piece of sleepwear?
And so, every spring I make a mental note to stock up on summer dresses...née, night gowns...and this season is no exception. Me, I still find what I need at The Gap ($70; gap.com), but I've also hit pay dirt at H&M and Old Navy. Best advice? Choose gowns in colors that compliment your bedroom decor. Why? Why NOT? You'll look that much better when lollygagging in bed.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

ZF-2662: disableTranslator flag in Zend_Form_Element
Currently there is no way to specify that a particular element in a given form should NOT be translated even if a default translator instance is available in Zend_Form. As per the discussion referenced below, I am suggesting the addition of a disableTranslator flag in Zend_Form_Element which would allow automatic translation to be turned off on an element-by-element basis.
For original discussion, see http://nabble.com/Language-names-assigned-to-multi…
The original discussion primarily references the option labels in select menu form fields; however, this flag should apply to other kinds of properties in other elements as well (for instance, the "description" and "label" properties).
Added a minor clarification to the issue description.
Will need to add: * accessor, disableTranslator(), to Zend_Form_Element * logic to Zend_Form_Element::getDefaultTranslator() to not pull from Zend_Form or the current element when disableTranslator is true
Zend_Form, Element, and DisplayGroup all now have a 'setDisableTranslator()' method (and corresponding config key 'disableTranslator') that allows you to disable translations for that item (setting it on the form will disable for the entire form).
// Check the flag status:
if ($form->translatorIsDisabled()) {
// disabled!
Committed to trunk and release branch.

I have a question about memory required by eigenvalue solvers (as an example in this post I use zheev). Assuming that I want to find all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix M of dimension n by n I have to allocate memory equal to 3*sizeof(M) (for the actual matrix M, for descT, and for eigenvectors array Q).
When dealing with large matrices this might be a problem. Especially memory allocated for matrix M seems to be "wasted" at the output. Is the a way around it? For example like in original LAPACK where memory allocated for matrix M was used to store eigenvectors at the output?
Best Wishes

Forget calling it mild Alzheimer's. A recent study finds a proposal for new criteria on diagnosing the disease by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association would instead classify a person as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
MyHealthNewsDaily reports MCI is "currently recognized as an intermittent stage between the normal loss of mental function that comes with age and the development of dementia."
"[The] idea that there is an MCI stage, distinct from very early Alzheimer's disease, is artificial," Dr. John Morris, a researcher on the study and neurology professor at St. Louis's Washington University, tells the news service. "It really is the same disease process."
According to the study, under the proposed guidelines, 99.8 percent of those now diagnosed with "very mild" Alzheimer's disease, and another 92.7 percent with "mild" Alzheimer's disease, would actually have MCI.
What do you think? Does this just confuse the issue?

According to Bruce Springsteen, this house-rocking group of singular musicians has always expanded his line of vision – while creating the framework for the marathon live shows that defined his career.
The has lasted more than 40 years with an independent and highly individualized identity. The most essential albums of Springsteen's career – Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Born in the U.S.A., The Rising – are built around the group. Yet only four albums and an EP, all live except an anthology, bear the group's name on the spine.
You could say that the ESB is the greatest instrument Springsteen plays. He recently said almost exactly that: "I write to live up the band's abilities and power onstage. That's something that's particularly significant. Even if these days, sometimes the guys are on records, sometimes it's someone else. But if I go into, say, Wrecking Ball, I think okay, this is something we're going to deliver. And it just sets me thinking differently, the way you approach the production. So the band has always expanded my line of vision. It's something they still do. I still think, "What's this going to feel like when we hit the stage?"
Its guise is Jersey Shore bar band. The reality is that every one of its members has a story of his or her own. Everybody has had a solo career: Nils Lofgren, Stevie Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, David Sancious and Max Weinberg have had extensive ones. Roy Bittan, the most virtuosic, produced Lucinda Williams' iconic Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Garry Tallent has been a mainstay of Nashville's Americana scene for a couple of decades – as producer, instrumentalist, talent scout and studio owner. Danny Federici, "the Phantom" from beginning to end, made four solo albums, and recorded and toured with Gary "U.S." Bonds, Graham Parker, the BoDeans and Joan Armatrading. Vini Lopez played on just a pair of Springsteen albums, but he has been a mainstay of the Jersey Shore rock scene ever since, reviving the prog-metal-blues of this crowd's early years in a band called Steel Mill Retro.
At the start, it was more or less a bar band, mostly made up of guys who'd come up together on the Shore club scene from around 1966 to the early 70s. The original E Street Band, the one that made Springsteen's first album, Greetings From Asbruy Park, New Jersey (1973), featured Bruce, Federici, David Sancious, Vini Lopez, Garry Tallent and Clarence Clemons, who was the late-comer. (The story that he first arrived at a joint on the boardwalk in the middle of a near-hurricane only sounds like a fable; it seems to have actually happened.)
Vini left in early 1974, around the same time that Sancious was signed to a record contract and went off to make a series of excellent jazz-rock-fusion albums. They were replaced by Max Weinberg, a North Jersey kid who had practiced his head off since hearing Ringo Starr for the first time, and had backed strippers and played in the pit of Broadway shows; and Roy Bittan, who'd been in all sorts of bands, not necessarily always as leader but, inevitably, as the most accomplished and most ambitious player.
The E Street Band was complete for the next nine years, during which Springsteen established his reputation by making four crucial albums (including Nebraska, on which the ESB did not play), and creating the framework for the marathon live shows that have defined his career.
But in 1984, after completing the two-year sessions that became Born in the U.S.A., Van Zandt – Springsteen's oldest friend and key onstage foil – decided to pursue a solo career. His decision led to two of the best songs on that album, "Bobby Jean" and "No Surrender," both redolent of what Van Zandt brought to the group. It also led to a major musical change. For the band's new guitarist, Springsteen brought in not one of the young bucks from the Shore rock scene, but Nils Lofgren, a contemporary with a long history as a recording artist and bandleader himself. Lofgren is a fiery soloist, whereas Van Zandt, in the ESB lineup at least, has restricted himself to mainly rhythm parts. Van Zandt took up more theatrical space, Lofgren more musical space.
Springsteen has always tinkered with the band lineup. A few times in the 70s and early 80s, he worked with a full horn section in addition to Clarence Clemons' saxophone. Early on, violinist Suki Lahav was a regular member. In 1984, he chose to add a new singing voice, Patti Scialfa. Scialfa came from down the Shore, but she'd also been around the big time, recording with the Rolling Stones, for instance, and touring with the ESB's Asbury Park brethren, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. She and Springsteen sparked at the microphone, adding another focal point.
But the main E Street Band focal point was Clemons, who specialized in tenor (sometimes baritone, rarely soprano) saxophone, hand percussion and doo-wop bass harmonies. For most of the night, he was standing in the corner, and then would ignite the show any time he and Springsteen decided to strike a pose or trade licks or, for that matter, give each other a smooch. They were a symbol of both what rock and roll could be and what it had been. Their tableaux and skits were both bar-band amateurish and an eloquent if mostly implicit statement about healing division. It wasn't something that separated the two of them from the rest of the band or, for that matter, the audience itself. It was all about bonding, a spiritual endurance test to go with the physical one.
Each night, the climax of the show occurred amid some big rock and roll number, be it Springsteen's own "Rosalita," or the Mitch Ryder–derived "Detroit Medley," or a jukebox classic like "Quarter to Three" or "Twist and Shout." As the energy its apex, Springsteen began to introduce the band, which was, in a sense, the final chisel cutting into the rock of their legend. He declaimed, "The Mighty Max Weinberg," "Professor Roy Bittan," "Garry W. Tallent" (because you'd mess with Garry at your peril), "Miami Steve Van Zandt," "the lovely Miss Patti Scialfa," "the great Nils Lofgren," "now you see him , now you don't Phantom Dan Federici," and then, at last… "Do I have to say his name? Do I have to say his name?" And the crowd would begin to chant, "Clar-ence, Clar-ence, Clar-ence," louder even than they'd chanted "Brooooce" waiting for the show to begin, and Weinberg would hit the biggest downbeat of them all, and Bruce would rattle it out: "The King of the World! On the saxophone, Clarence Clemons!"
If that doesn't sound like such a much, you never saw Clarence, who, even when his body began to fail him, had a transcendent face and physical presence out of proportion to even his own large stature. Give or take Little Richard, there has been no more commanding presence – commanding without moving a muscle – in rock history. This was the glory of the E Street Band.
In 1989, just like that, Springsteen told the group he was moving on. The E Street Band was a thing of the past. The guys were shocked. The music world was shocked.
Over the next decade, there was no attempt to revive a Springsteen-free E Street Band. From 1992 to 1993, Springsteen put together a touring group that sported two E Street alumni, Roy Bittan and Patti Scialfa (by then Springsteen's wife). He did a solo tour – just him, just once. He called when he needed the guys' skill in the studio, when it was time to put out a greatest-hits album in 1995 and he wanted to record a couple of new songs, and in 1998, when he needed to spruce up a boxed collection of left-offs, Tracks.
In early 1999, Bruce Springsteen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he invited them all. When he was done accepting the honor; he called them on to the stage. And they played together. It sounded great – organic, fitting, necessary.
Just like that, they were a band again. Although many rejoiced, nobody was surprised when a reunion tour was announced for later that year. It featured both Lofgren and Van Zandt, and was augmented by the inclusion of violinist Soozie Tyrell. They toured America and Europe for a year or so. For most of it, Springsteen used just one new song, "Land of Hope and Dreams," an updated version of their old sound, a restatement of commitment – to one another, to their own lives, maybe to changing the world. Bruce admits that, without the band as his vehicle, he probably wouldn't have even thought of it.
As of E Street's 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction, the reunion has lasted now for 15 years. Together they have toured more of the globe than before: South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Argentina…at last, Mexico. Most of the performances have been in stadiums. In 2002, they made the first Bruce Springsteen album with the E Street Band since Born in the U.S.A. The Rising was not only a hit, it was also a resonant assertion of resilience, anger, fear and compassion in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. It kicked off a remarkably productive period. The group toured as much in the next decade as it had since the early 80s.
It's not a bar band anymore, of course, except when it needs to be. Like a bar band, though, it seemingly can play any song in the rock and soul repertoire on a moment's notice. Or at least come close – very, very close. Whatever obscure Springsteen song its members haven't rehearsed in 35 years, or whichever oldie only three or four have even heard of, if someone requests it and Springsteen decides it would be fun to try, the E Street Band comes through. Always. It's a parlor trick and testament to just how good this band is, and just how everyone has learned to trust one another, too.
Bruce summed it up in his 2013 interview on SiriusXM's E Street channel: "I think the time we spent apart ended up being very beneficial to us over a long period of time. Because I think when we came back together in the late 90s, it all became just what it was about. I do something with you I can't do with anyone else. You do something with me, it's similar. We're blessed to be able to do this together. Let's go do that."
They've done it through thick and thin. In 2007, Danny Federici, the most distinctive organist in rock history, developed melanoma, and in April 2008 he died. He was 58.
Clarence Clemons had looked weary and in pain through much of the 2000s. In June 2011, he died, suddenly, of a stroke. He was 69.
They were not replaced. Other musicians – fine ones – assumed their musical duties. But Federici and Clemons were not replaceable. They were, in a band of individualists, the most singular of all. There is no substitute for the King of the World. There is not a second Phantom Dan. Nevertheless, there is an E Street Band. Onstage, it still sounds not young, but something better: fresh, enlivened by what it is doing, and by who it's doing it with.
Sooner or later, of course, the E Street Band story has an ending. It doesn't seem near, but it does stop somewhere. Just like all the shows do, usually right at the point of exhaustion.
You know it's there when Springsteen steps up at the end of a lengthy finale, and makes the most outrageous statement of the night. "You've just seen…the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, house-rocking, earth-quaking, booty-shaking, Viagra-taking, love-making le-gen-dary E-Street-Band!" Sure, it's a brag. It's also a fact. – Dave Marsh

Shoulder pain includes any pain that arises in or around your shoulder. Shoulder pain may originate in the joint itself, or from any of the many surrounding muscles, ligaments or tendons. Shoulder pain usually worsens with activities or movement of your arm or shoulder.
Certain diseases and conditions affecting structures in your chest or abdomen, such as heart disease or gallbladder disease, also may cause shoulder pain. Shoulder pain that arises from some other structure is called "referred pain." Referred shoulder pain usually doesn't worsen when you move your shoulder.
Shoulder pain accompanied by difficulty breathing or a sense of tightness in the chest may be a symptom of a heart attack and requires immediate medical attention.
Ask someone to drive you to urgent care or the emergency room if your shoulder pain is caused by an injury and is accompanied by:
Make an appointment with your doctor if your shoulder pain is accompanied by:

Sheryl Reminger
Sheryl Reminger Anchor link to John Martin video Professor Reminger on cancer's impact on the brain
Meet Sheryl Reminger, Associate Professor,
- B.A. Psychology, Northwestern University
- M.A. Clinical Psychology, University of Arizona
- Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, University of Arizona
- "You should work hard on doing well in your classes, but at the same time, have fun!" I grew up in Chicago. I moved to Tucson, AZ, for graduate school, and then came back to the Midwest to work here at UIS.
Interesting facts:
- I love watching old movies, not only for the stories they tell, but because they can teach you so much about the time and culture in which they were made. I love traveling, but don't travel nearly as much as I would like. I recently presented my research at conferences in Spain and New Zealand, and hope to have many more such opportunities in the future.
Learning philosophy:
- I think learning should be fun and interactive, and I believe that learning is most successful when individuals find a personal connection to the information they are learning. This is one of the reasons I find teaching psychology so rewarding – students can use their personal experience to better understand class material, and then they can apply what they learn to improve their own lives and the lives of others.
Research interests:
- My area of specialization is neuropsychology. Neuropsychologists study how the brain functions to produce certain thoughts and behaviors. Frequently this involves work with individuals who suffer from neurological disorders that impact the brain, such as epilepsy or Alzheimer's disease, but it also extends to studying how the brain produces typical, ordinary behavior. For instance, I am interested in understanding how emotional factors can influence our everyday thinking and decision-making.
Professor Reminger on cancer's impact on the brain:
Major project underway:
- I am currently involved in research projects investigating the cognitive and emotional function of individuals diagnosed with cancer, such as breast cancer and head and neck cancer. While cancers such as breast cancer may not directly impact the brain, the treatments that one receives, not to mention the stress that accompanies such a diagnosis, can have a long-term impact on a person's quality of life. My hope is that my research can help individuals find strategies to overcome the obstacles they face when struggling with serious health conditions.
Advice to prospective students:
- Get involved! Whether it is academics, volunteering, athletics, or extracurricular activities, college is a time to follow your passions and try new things. You should work hard on doing well in your classes, but at the same time, have fun! Take advantage of every opportunity to learn new ideas, make new friends, and contribute to the world around you.
Best thing about UIS:
- The great opportunities that the university provides to participate and be active both on the campus and in the community. The environment at UIS fosters interpersonal connections. The small class sizes allow students to interact and participate fully in class, and that in turn helps the teachers get to know their students better. Teachers can then find more creative ways to encourage students and help them seek out career paths that are best-suited to their own unique skills.

Race weekend is a festival weekend! Admittedly the houses don't get given a new coat of paint and fresh geraniums don't get hung from their balconies, but for the locals and keen motorcycle racing fans the second weekend in May is always a big party: riders from all over France, Switzerland and also a couple of Germans then drive with their camper vans through the tranquil village into the paddock at the foot of Mont St. Odile and stop for a couple of days for the Barr Hill Race. A photographic journey.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Mexican immigration to the United States has slowed in recent years, and since the Great Recession more Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico than have migrated to the United States. Mexicans, however, remain the largest origin group in the country, accounting for 28 percent of all immigrants. See how Mexican immigrants compare to the overall foreign- and U.S.-born populations on key indicators with this Spotlight article.
For a growing population of migrants deported from Mexico and the United States to Central America, the conditions upon return typically are worse than when they left, setting up a revolving-door cycle of migration, deportation, and remigration. This report provides a detailed profile of reception and reintegration services offered in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to deported migrants, examining their challenges and opportunities for improvement.
MPI has compiled in one easy-to-access location its key research and data resources on issues, policies, enforcement programs, and more that relate to the immigration reform debate underway in Washington.

The Rematch: Top-Ranked Trinity Returns To Jadwin v. Reigning Champ Tigers
LIVE VIDEO l THE 2012 NATIONAL FINAL
The last point played between Princeton and Trinity at the Jadwin Squash Courts was also the last one in Trinity's 13-year reign as national champions. The two rivals will meet in the regular season finale Saturday afternoon in the final matchup before the 2013 CSA national championships.
The match will be streamed live on GoPrincetonTigers.TV, with all three courts being shown. Audio coverage will be included on the main court, which will provide updates on the entire match.
Top-ranked Trinity will bring an impressive 15-0 record into the Jadwin Squash Courts for the 2 pm showdown against the fourth-ranked Tigers, who claimed their 18th Ivy League championship last Sunday with a 9-0 victory over Columbia.
Trinity leads the all-time series over Princeton 25-20, though it's a series that has clearly been dominated by the Bantams of late. Princeton won 19 of the first 21 meetings against Trinity, while the Bantams followed with a run of 23 straight wins that ended Feb. 19, 2012, when Princeton won its 11th nine-man national championship in a 5-4 comeback win.
Trinity is coming off an impressive 5-4 road win at No. 2 Harvard, where Zeyed ElShorafy scored the winning point for the Bantams at the No. 7 spot to clinch the victory. Trinity has also been pushed in a pair of other road matches, winning 5-4 at No. 6 Rochester and 7-2 at No. 5 Cornell.
For Princeton, it is an opportunity to potentially reclaim the top ranking before the CSA championships, held Feb. 22-24 at the Brady Squash Center at Yale. The Tigers are led by senior co-captain Todd Harrity, who had his biggest win of the season last weekend with a 3-0 sweep of 2012 CSA finalist Ramit Tandon of Columbia. Harrity earned a 3-0 victory in the national team final last season; that match evened the team score at 4-4 and set up Kelly Shannon's championship-clinching victory.
It will also be Senior Day for the Tigers, who will honor the trio of Harrity, fellow co-captain Steve Harrington, and Chris Greco during their final match at the Jadwin Courts.

These activities increase pre-literacy, language and socialization skills of the young participants while aiding teachers in expanding their base of knowledge and confidence in using music purposefully. Research continues to demonstrate that when a child is exposed to music at an early age, his or her chances for academic success later in life increase exponentially.
Since 1999, the Rock Hall has partnered with the University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Beck Center for the Arts, and Council for Economic Opportunities in Greater Cleveland Head Start to teach Cleveland's underserved three to five year olds and their teachers. Dr. Deforia Lane, an internationally acclaimed music therapist, leads twelve music therapists who work with the toddlers once a week.
Our board-certified music therapists use music to help students develops critical thinking, self-discipline skills and improve cognitive development, basic math and reading abilities, test scores, the ability to work in teams, spacial reasoning skills and school attendance.
We test students' abilities against a control group and can report statistically significant gains in the following learning areas:
Toddler Rock has been a testament to the wonder and efficacy of music. There is a palpable burst of energy when 300 pairs of little feet skip through the huge glass doors into the lobby embellished with cars, guitars and neon signs pointing the way to music and learning. I love to watch the eyes of the children when they recognize the letter of the day on one of the Rock Hall walls or when they shout out "That's my acoustic guitar!" as they pass an exhibit, or "that's Otis Redding in that picture." I know then that we are impacting their mind, their spirit and their future.
"The Jackson Five sang about the ABCs. Aretha Franklin taught us how to spell RESPECT. So why not teach your toddler the basics with a beat…now that's a good idea!"

A good-looking weekend awaits: Let's consider our best options.
Thursday night, Alabama musician Jason Isbell and his crack band, The 400 Unit, will headline a gig at The State Room. This combo of Isbell at The State Room is a good, recurring pairing - four times in the last four years. If you like good, no-frills rock with good lyrics and inspired playing, this is the gig for you. No surprise, it sold out earlier this week. Check out what Isbell and Co., have to offer, right here:
An alternative if you want to see some music Thursday, but failed to get Isbell tickets, is over at The Urban Lounge, as venerable faves Wise Bird headline a 9 p.m. show. I've seen these guys and can vouch that they are all sterling musicians. Tickets will be available at the door.
A run of what looks to be good local theatre starts tonight at The Capitol Theatre with "In A Dark, Dark House." The production is from the Wasatch Theatre Company and local writer Neil LaBute. It features some heavy content (sexual abuse) and starts at 8 p.m. each night. Tickets are $15 and available at arttix.org.
And Saturday night, former Jazz All-Star Deron Williams returns to EnergySolutions Arena with his injury-plagued New Jersey Nets. Tickets remain on sale at smithstix.com.

Heroes on DeckWWII on Lake Michigan | Thursday, 8 p.m.
This documentary sheds light on a little-known training operation conducted by the U.S. Navy on Lake Michigan during World War II. Between 1942 and 1945, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Navy trained nearly 15,000 pilots, including 41st President George H.W. Bush, to land and take off from two makeshift aircraft carriers -- the Seaandbee and Greater Buffalo -- in the safety of landlocked Lake Michigan. These freshwater "flattops," converted from two vintage, side-wheeled, coal-fired passenger steamers, were unlike anything in the fleet and the training program was not without hazards. There were many crashes including some fatal accidents.
As a result, more than 100 classic WWII fighters and dive bombers sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan, preserved in the lake's frigid, oxygen- deprived depths. It wasn't until the late 1970s, that interest in resurrecting the WWII fighters surfaced, and with the approval of the U.S. Navy, a skilled team of professionals developed the tools and techniques to locate and recover the forgotten warplanes. Using deep-water divers, side-scan sonar, and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), many of the planes have been recovered, raised and restored over the course of the past 30 years, and these efforts continue today.
Featuring a combination of interviews, de-classified film and stills, underwater recovery footage, computer generated recreations, and hi-definition underwater photography, HEROES ON DECK brings to life this vital chapter in American history.

Kate Pleasant - Producer/Director
When Did You Start at WEIU? Summer 2007
What Does WEIU Mean to You? WEIU means a safe, family-friendly entertainment and learning source.
Favorite Show on WEIU: I have a 2-year-old, so we're really getting into Super Why and Word World. My personal favorite is a lot of our local programming because it really connects me to our community. On the national side, I'm starting to get into Downton Abbey!
What have you learned while working at WEIU?: What haven't I learned!? WEIU has taught me about valuing my community. WEIU has taken me places I never thought I would go (like an underground river for Heartland Highways). I have learned that not only is WEIU great, quality programming, but the people behind it really believe in the mission too.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? Everyone should become a member of WEIU. I'm a member. If you value educational programming, information straight from your own backyard, and family-friendly TV, then WEIU is for you. You should know, too, that everyone behind the scenes here at the station really believes in what we do too. For us, it's personal. We're a family and we're always looking to expand, so come be a part of our story!

We love to hear from you!
If I wasn't able to watch WEIU, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely throw my television in the trash! I will continue to support good television and WEIU is GREAT TV.
