Okay, let's face it, the world today is as, former USA Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright recently said, "in a mess." There is war in the Ukraine that might lead to a new "Cold War;" violence is breaking out all over the Middle East; America's standing in the world has been significantly diminished; the USA economy has struggled over much of the past decade (a smaller percentage of American adults are working full time today than at anytime since the Great Depression); the Middle Class is shrinking; and the world is more dangerous than at anytime in the past 60+ years.
Frankly, the world, including the USA, has forgotten how to compromise – how to work together for the common good. Nearly three fourths of American adults feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. Our world is, indeed, "in a mess!" As you will note, there are consequences to your personal mental health and your relationships with others and certainly to your marriage. Here's how.
The daily doses of bad news you watch on your television; the steady drumbeat of bad news in your newspaper; the bombardment of negativity on the Internet, television, and on the radio; and the constant negative exchanges you have with others on social media – much of it from your "so-called friends" (putting you down, criticizing you, making fun of you, putting you on the defensive, embarrassing you in front of others, etc.); is enough to make you want to crawl in a hole and hide!
But there is a better solution if you want to save your relationships with others, especially your husband/wife or "significant other."
You see, getting in the doldrums – letting your psychic be impacted in negative ways by the constant negativity in the news and in social media – can begin to bring you down and affect your marriage and relationships with others in terrible and unproductive ways.
And remember this – if you spend too much of your day being told how awful everything is, it WILL affect the way you feel, the way you relate to others – especially the ones you love – and the way you love. Make no mistake about it!
So, how do you prevent and/or combat the daily bombardment of the negative things you experience? How do you keep negativity from affecting your relationships with those you love, especially your spouse? How do you "keep yourself together" in a psychological sense?
We have discovered four effective solutions based on our 33 years of research with successful marriage on all seven continents of the world. Here they are in a nutshell.
#1 Way To Protect Your Marriage
You need to set up a plan of action immediately that limits on a daily basis the amount of news you watch, what you read in the newspaper, and what you consume from the Internet. Reading all the negative stuff will eventually impact the way you view the world, yourself, and those you interact with on a daily basis. Listening to and reading the constant bombardment of negative news is, in many ways, like being in a prisoner-of-war camp – you begin to believe and feel all that which you read – and in the end, it consumes you – it impacts your very being! You think the world is falling apart! Be informed, but enough is enough! Being informed of local, national, and world events does not require you to be a slave to negative news. Limit your news intake because the negativity you feel will impact your marriage.
#2 Way To Protect Your Marriage
Exercise is a great physical and psychological stress reliever! Exercise often. The truth of the matter is this – exercise is not only good for you physically, it is good for you psychologically and emotionally. Exercise is, as a fitness enthusiast friend of ours recently said, "The elixir for the soul." Exercise releases chemicals in your body that puts you in a "good place." Exercise makes you feel good about yourself – it puts you in a "happy place" and releases the stressors that limit you and your relationships on a daily basis. Some kinesiologists believe that these secret chemicals are "Endorphins," which act as a kind of sedative that reduces "pain" – psychologically and physically. Exercise often! Your mind and body will appreciate it more than you know.
#3 Way To Protect Your Marriage
Everyday of your life do something positive for somebody! Engage in acts of kindness. Say something nice to a friend or a stranger. Become a great purveyor of love! There is one simple rule of the Universe – a smile requires fewer muscles to carry out than a frown. Be a positive person. Tell the ones you love and the strangers you meet something positive. You will be astonished at how much better the world will seem AND become! When somebody throws a negative at you, respond with something positive. It will blow their mind, trust us on this one. It is so easy to be a positive person and by being so, you will relieve much of your stress and the stress of the one you said something nice to! It can even change the way your spouse feels about your marriage if he or she is greeted with daily acts of kindness and a positive attitude.
#4 Way To Protect Your Marriage
Each day of your life, observe and embrace the beauty around you. The world is a beautiful place for the most part. Look for the beauty in it each day of your life. Smell the flowers, watch the sunsets, get up for a sunrise, hold hands with the one you love while you share a glass of wine on the back porch or deck, and make note of the incredible beauty that surrounds you everyday. There is a simple truth here – the world is a beautiful place and when you notice its wonderful beauty, you won't have time to wallow in self-pity, be angry, experience frustration, or be unhappy. We are not suggesting you not "feel" the pain of the world, your neighbors, and the like, but we are saying to you – put it all in proper perspective. This action will serve you well.
In the end, how we feel about ourselves, how we deal with those we love, and how we deal with the stressors of the world, are feelings and emotions we can control. Being informed, caring about others, being empathic with the plight of those less fortunate than us, and the like, does not require us to be constantly unhappy, sad, and depressed. These latter feelings only estrange us from those we love. Care, but don't be consumed by the bad news of the day. You have your life to live – you have others to love – you have a partner to love and cherish on a daily basis. You owe them and you this commitment.

Twang Darkly performed a live acoustic set on Red River Radio on Wednesday, Feb. 29, 2012. The radio station has been kind enough to post three of our live songs on their page.
Wednesday, February 29, 2012

studio Twang: Currituck Sound -- electric guitar and mountain dulcimer
This mesmerizing groove began life as an instrumental bit for electric guitar that Joel invented. We often use it live as a lead in for another piece called "Escape" (from the Devil's Stomping Ground album), which you'll actually hear a bit of at the end of this track as a kind of nod to that other tune.
The dulcimer here is tuned GCC; though it would normally be used for C-mixolydian, I'm operating is some mishmash of D-aeolian/G-dorian here (all three of these modes use the same notes, albeit from different roots). It's a lot of fun to use a dulcimer as a kind of lead improvisational instrument in this way, especially against the fascinating rhythms that Troy is laying down on the drums.
We often joke that this song and its live partner, "Escape," are our pirate-rock tunes. This one, especially, feels like waves lapping against the side of a boat. Given that pirates used the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a kind of haven, the title fits both the feel and the history of the tune.
This one is on our cd The Sound of Secret Names.

studio Twang: Her Secret Name -- flute rock!
Choose between alternative versions:
Listening to this original piece from our cd The Sound of Secret Names, you might think that I've listened to a lot of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull, and, if so, you'd be hitting the nail on the head. Though most people know one or two Tull pieces from classic rock format radio, their catalog is huge, varied, and, most importantly, ongoing. Ian Anderson ("Jethro Tull" is just the name of his band, folks), in particular, has been a huge influence on my musical aspirations, in terms of seeking to cross both instruments and genre.
I wrote this one specifically to play live with Twang Darkly, but it has evolved in a way that makes it rather difficult for a trio to play live. In particular, the bass and the multiple guitars add so much to the sonic palette of this one that I'm not sure I'll ever be satisfied doing it live with just guitar, flute, and drums — it always sounds thin compared to how I want to hear it -- rich, as in this new studio version. So, for the moment, this one may likely stay in the "catalog" without seeing a lot of gig action.
But I routinely change my mind about such things, so who knows?
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
studio Twang -- The Spirit Defenders of Nikwasi
This song is from our cd The Sound of Secret Names.
So ever since I used it in a solo show back in December, I've been keen to use my High Spirits Native American double flute in a proper recording. Finally, as Troy added some percussive touches to some work that Joel and I did some time ago, I heard my opportunity knocking.
Yeah. Nikwasi! My brain is always hearing and seeing North Carolina connections, so the native flute in this song juxtaposed against the mountain dulcimer suggests Cherokee for a true Appalachian fusion. It so happens I've recently been reading the 19th century ethnography Myths of the Cherokee, and the striking story of how the immortal Nunnehi emerged from Nikwasi Mound to defend the Cherokee from marauders clicked in my mind as soon as we'd finished recording this.
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
studio Twang: Broken Moon
Watch alternative versions:
Oddly, the title to this piece is taken from an image in the opening sequence of... wait for it... Thundarr the Barbarian! You see, back in 2008, I was primarily recording material pretty late at night on the weekends, usually after sipping some beer and watching some pointless TV. It so happened that on the night that I first recorded the dulcimer part for this song, I'd come across Thundarr on cable. It was a post-apocalyptic cartoon I watched as a kid, so it caught my attention.
that moon is definitely broken
The background plates on this show kick ass! The foreground action... well, yes, for the demon dogs, I guess.
Anyway, Thundarr's got jack to do with this song, but it is called "Broken Moon" nonetheless.
Thursday, February 2, 2012
studio Twang: The Beautiful Years Roll
This one came together kind of accidentally, but we ended up being glad that I happened to have hit the record button. A very simple piece, but this kind of groove is a great conduit for feeling. This is the closing track on our cd The Sound of Secret Names.
The dulcimer is tuned DGD.

Kanye booed on stage at his Bonnaroo set performance this weekend has many talking about the celebrity's prideful rant. Kanye West allegedly had his new wife, Kim Kardashian, also in attendance during his musical show to garner quite a few additional looks, but that didn't deter the jeers. Music Mix News shares this Saturday, June 14, 2014, that some listeners told local news sources some people were actually booing the rapper instead cheering for him at times, especially after one of the celebrity's rants included him saying, "I am the No. One rock star."
Although Kanye West may view himself as a second coming figure at times, visitors at the Bonnaroo music show said that Kanye booed was one major part of the fest that didn't get much fanfare by review sites. Unlike last year, the rapper was able to start his performance on time this June 2014, but punctuality didn't prevent some fans from still holding some negative feelings against the rapper, including jeering at him.
Throughout Kanye's performance, he was said to be booed from quite a few listeners, with some of the initial catcalls coming after the celebrity first made an appearance on the fest's stage. Amidst the allegations of disapproval, others said that there were numerous swear words slung against the rapper and even his celebrity wife, Kim Kardashian. A majority in attendance still seemed to support the rapper, however.
According to the The Denver Channel, had the media not noticed Kim K. in tow in the stands, it might not have been easy to keep up with the reality TV star, as the 37-year-old didn't make any comment on his wife. The Kardashian queen was present for the show, however, watching high above from the show's soundboard site. She was spotted by some clearly enjoying the show, swaying with the beat as her "Yeezus" hubby performed.
During their inside coverage of the Bonnaroo music fest, a few major news sources didn't say anything about the audience booing Kanye West in the middle of his show. Yet there has been some indirect "proof" of these catcalls, adds Canoe News Blog, as a number of members in the crowd took to Twitter to announce that he got some major "disrespect" at the event.
Kim Kardashian was one of the many people watching the show at Bonnaroo this Friday night. Having Kanye booed didn't stop the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star from wearing a revealing outfit and drawing almost as much attention to herself as the rapper, though. Nonetheless, it is a bit shocking to hear that among the tens of thousands visitors or so at Bonnaroo, the jeers were loud and raucous enough to be considerably noticed during West's song set.
Following the performance, Kanye West lost no opportunity, boos or not, to go off on one of his notorious rants, though this one was relatively tame. He went on a brief tirade about both the paparazzi and his work as an artist, as well the strain and effort he puts into making this music — much of which, apparently, goes unnoticed by some fans and the public at large. He was quoted saying such lines via EW as "humbled in a way that gave [me] strength ... and "I am the No. 1 muthaf***in rock star on this planet!"
This short rant is what really seemed to tick off some fans, as shortly afterward there was apparently group chants of "F*** Kanye!" One charged team of music listeners apparently even spray painted a nearby fence at the fest, writing "Dear Kanye, Kim K. gave a better performance."
What is your response to hearing of Kanye booed at this Friday's Bonnaroo showcase? Are you a fan of the rapper and his famous wife?

When a Texan rancher set up water stations on his property for the illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. - Mexican border, he wasn't making a statement about immigration, he was trying to save lives. This is what Lavoyger Durham told the media when they got wind of the water stations he put on his property. This rancher is offering water to humans, not "illegals," crossing through his property on their journey from Mexico to the U.S, according to NBC News On July 8.
Durham owns 13,000 acres located just 30 miles from a drop-off point for Mexican immigrants along the Mexican border. Last week Durham found two bodies on his property. In all, he has found seven dead immigrants on his land since 2011. This is not alright, there is something very wrong with this.
To the best of his knowledge these people died of dehydration, exposure and heat exhaustion. Durham feels that water could help save their lives, so he wants to help and supply water stations. Arizona offers water stations along their border and now land owners in southern Texas are looking to this model, according to NewsMax today.
People want to reduce the number of deaths that they've been experiencing in their counties. No matter what is going on with the borders, it is just not alright to walk out your back door and find people dead of dehydration when there's an abundance of water available.
Not all ranchers are valuing human life over curbing the immigration crisis in this country. Some of the ranchers are dead against allowing the immigrants to take so much as a sip from the water on their property.
One of the ranchers in the area, Mike Vickers said "the only way I would allow them to put those jugs on my property is if Border Patrol were going to be allowed to put a camera on the water source and be able to intercept these people utilizing them." It sounds as if the only way Vickers will see immigrants drink water on his property is if the water barrels are set out as bait to catch them.
The immigration crisis is one of the top problems facing this administration today. Some believe it is the misunderstanding of the immigration laws that are bringing people from Central America to the U.S. border. Whatever the reason and although it is a crisis, these are people, people dying without water.
Is it better to show your patriotic side by discouraging the immigrants by restricting the use of your water only for American citizens? Or is it better to act on your morals and save as many of these human beings as you possibly can just by allowing them to drink some water from your property?
It is only water, something that the Earth offers up to every living thing. There's plenty to go around and letting people die is not what protesting immigration laws should look like.

VALDYN can be used to model most types of chain including roller and inverted tooth (silent) chains. Generation of chain models is fast and simple with minimal data input and automated wrapping of the chain around the sprockets. Sprocket tooth, link and guide shapes can be built from lines, arcs and involutes or defined by B-splines which can be fitted to measured data.
The behaviour of the chain can be viewed as an animation both in the time domain and as mode shapes in the frequency domain. Comprehensive plotted output of force, friction and power loss is available. The time variation of forces on individual components or at given points in the chain run, and spatial variation of forces around the chain run can also be plotted.

Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
Responding to a recent
in which I proposed dissolving the troubled Martha Graham Dance
Company to concentrate on preserving and promulgating Graham's dances,
Francis Mason, chairman of the Graham board, writes to complain
of "inflammatory writing at long distance about an American treasure."
I stand by my column,
and by its fidelity to the Dance Insider's mission of giving a voice
to dancers, building the dance audience, and telling stories not
told elsewhere.
I also take exception
to Mr. Mason's re-casting my well-intentioned proposal and any implied
criticism of the company's current administration -- in particular
for firing
Graham treasures Christine Dakin and Terese Capucilli, and replacing
them with a commuting director who apparently disdains the studio
and feels Graham's work needs to be explained -- as criticism of
the "American treasure" itself. The Graham Center's current troubles
-- its executive director LaRue Allen put the deficit at $4 million
at the end of 2005 -- have been widely reported on; we have published
Ms. Allen's view of them, and of the Capucilli-Dakin firings, in
its entirety.... That the company's New York season (to date) has
consisted of what was essentially a two-hour lecture-demonstration
has been previously reported on here,
as has been the fact that press kits handed out for the occasion
included an invitation to something called "Modern Dance on the
High Seas," a crossing on the Queen Mary 2 "with a voyage-long program
offering a truly unique look into the life and work of dance pioneer
Martha Graham and her acclaimed company." I invite Mr. Mason to
share with our readers any touring plans that go beyond elaborate
lec-dems and diversions for cruise ship passengers..... As well,
commuting director Janet Eilber's conviction that this archetypal
work must be explained and "contextualized" has been documented,
most recently by Joan Acocella in the New
Leaving aside the question
of why it's appropriate to direct a dance company while residing
mostly at a distance but not to criticize it, in the case of the
Martha Graham Dance Company, how it's perceived from a distance
is critical, if for no other reason than that dance companies rely
on touring for income.
Mr. Mason also knows
very well that the involvement of the Dance Insider in the Martha
Graham story has been anything but distant. The DI was the only
publication besides the New York Times -- which has far more resources
at its disposal -- to provide daily coverage of the Graham Center's
trials with former director Ron Protas, most of it by me, in New
York. We made the decision to exceed our resources because of the
conviction that if we had not done so, the perspective of the Graham
Center -- and Mr. Mason -- would not have been fairly represented.
I regret that Mr. Mason and his board betrayed the trust I and many
others placed in them, principally by firing Capucilli and Dakin.
I regret that his professed admiration of our publication is apparently
conditioned on our not contradicting him. I repeat my invitation,
already issued, to Ms. Allen to share with our readers what she
calls the company's "good plan for working our way out of this."
I repeat that my sole
motivation in my most recent column was to see the work of Martha
Graham -- her greatest legacy to the world -- preserved. It breaks
my heart to see the work offered as shipboard entertainment; that
work created to dance literature is now being reduced -- essentially
dumbed down -- by explanatory words; and that, absent a vigorous
plan to promulgate the work -- without diverting precious resources
to propping up a disabled dance troupe -- these masterpieces, this
technique, may be relegated to the archives. Martha Graham -- whose
work opens a vein into our collective blood memory -- deserves to
live, as we deserve the enlightenment and deliverance of her work.
Mr. Mason calls my diagnosis
and prescription 'inflammatory.' At this point, the maladies afflicting
the Martha Graham Dance Company have moved beyond inflammations.
In my opinion, the patient has terminal cancer; it's time to put
it out of its misery to save its soul -- the work. If Mr. Mason
and Ms. Allen have another solution -- one that doesn't involve
delegating the job of begging for money to dancers -- let's hear

The effects of the break up on their two sons is interesting and heartbreaking. Jesse Eisenberg plays Walt the oldest son who seems to be following in his father's elitist annoying footsteps.

Rapid changes in North Dakota
June 1, 2014
Michelle Solensky, Jamestown I grew up in North Dakota, and returned with my family five years ago. In the past five years, I have seen rapid changes in this state....
The best action is to stop the leaks, spills and other damage from oil. Most all r preventable. Greed prevails however so i say let them destroy nd until our state leaders and the voting public have had enough. If greed prevails there is little hope for good land stewardship.

Just where is all that "regulation" the right complains about when some 180 wells r drilled every 20 days? Why does the pollution continue without reduction? Visit the Missouri river and take a good look, up close at some of the most pristine water in the world and kiss it goodbye. What will it take 2 stop this destruction?

The Twelve Rules of Christmas
1. The Office Party: Eat, drink and be merry, but know when to draw the line. Retain your professional gloss, be cautious of overindulging and don't do anything you'll regret in the morning.
2. Christmas Cards: While it's ok to send a Christmas email to colleagues and computer-savvy friends, don't forget that some friends and family will still appreciate receiving a traditional card sent by post.
3. Round-Robins: Enclose a short personal letter in cards to friends or relatives who are rarely seen, but avoid inflicting a boastful litany of the family's achievements on your entire Christmas card list.
4. Re-gifting: The recycling of unwanted presents should be approached with caution. Is the item unused and in perfect condition? Is there any possible link to the original giver? If in doubt, buy something new.
5. Christmas Tipping: If you've been happy with a service throughout the year, then give a bonus or spare a fiver for the cleaner, babysitter, milkman, dustman, paperboy etc.
6. Mind the Mistletoe: Never refuse a festive peck, but remember that mistletoe kissing is strictly a cheek-to-cheek activity. Equally, if you're struck down by the lurgi, then stand back rather than risk spreading your germs.
7. The Perfect Houseguest: Be punctual and arrive laden with goodies. Offer to help, but know when to get out of the kitchen.
8. The Perfect Host: Be welcoming, organised, thoughtful and flexible. You're opening up your home, so never let your guests feel like they are in the way.
9. Don't be a Scrooge: Embrace the festive spirit. Never let your lack of enthusiasm spoil everyone else's fun, especially if there are children around.
10. Perfect Presents: Always react with surprise and delight, no matter what you've been given. Remember that someone has taken the time to choose and wrap a gift for you, so you can take the time to be gracious and thankful.
11. Festive Fun: Go with the flow. Whether it's charades or Cluedo, a wintery walk or the afternoon film, it's good manners to muck in. Remember, it's only a day or two.
12. Thank Yous: Letters of thanks for hospitality and presents should be sent promptly and preferably received by the second week of January.

MEDINA — It was worth the wait for Medina's Alexis Smith when it came to selecting a college.
Out of all the schools that expressed interest in the standout distance runner, it was the last one she visited that ended up catching her eye.
Smith liked what Ashland University had to offer on the track and in the classroom, so the senior signed her letter of intent to the Division II school earlier this month.
"I was in communication with over 80 schools over the last year and, believe it or not, Ashland was the last school that I spoke to in late December," Smith said. "My mom gave me the idea to contact them because of their nursing program, so I did. After a month of contacting them and a visit, I knew it was a perfect fit."
Everything from the nursing program to the small-school atmosphere to the nationally recognized track program was attractive to Smith.
"As I talked to the professors, coaches and girls, I couldn't stop smiling," she said. "Every factor I considered while going through my college search seemed to be answered perfectly while I was on campus. When I left, I was overwhelmed with the feeling of wanting to cry and jump because I had that feeling I was where I was supposed to be."
Smith, who carries a 4.173 grade-point average, was also considering Akron, Dayton, Xavier, Ohio Wesleyan and Tiffin. She became a top prospect after helping Medina's 4×800-meter relay to the D-I state championship in June.
The 5-foot-7 Smith is also a standout cross country runner and guard on the Bees basketball team that recently locked up its third straight Northeast Ohio Conference River Division title.
Smith, who will compete in the 800 to start, will join an Ashland program that competes in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
"I really enjoyed the time I spent with the team and the coaches (at Ashland) reminded me of what I have at Medina, which is a family-type atmosphere," Smith said. "I also feel they will get every ounce of ability and potential out of me.
"One of the things I like most about Ashland's track program is they believe in me as much as I believe in them. There's no question I will work my butt off to reach both the team goals and my personal goals."

In what has been reported as the largest turnout for an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) funeral since the beginning of Israel's current war in Gaza, around 30,000 Israelis swarmed Mount Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem on July 23 to pay their respects to Los Angeles native Max Steinberg.
"He gave everything for us, so it's the least we can do to be here," said Avital Schenkolewski, a young Jerusalemite sweating in the heat.
Max, a 24-year-old who graduated from El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills and whose parents live in Encino, set his mind on joining the IDF's elite Golani combat brigade after a trip to Israel with his younger brother and sister, via the Birthright program, in 2012. It was during the Birthright tour of Mount Herzl — where he is now buried — that Max noticed the grave of U.S. Lone Soldier Michael Levin, and began considering a career in the IDF.
"Max was raised in Los Angeles," U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro said at the funeral. "But, as we've heard, he was driven by a faith and a conviction that brought him here to Israel, bravely moving across the world on his own and arriving here as a Hayal Boded [Lone Soldier] who served valiantly as a sharpshooter in the Golani Brigade."
The soldier's parents, on the other hand, took their first trip to Israel this summer on a surreal mission to bury their son among IDF greats. The Steinberg family — Stuart, Evie, Jake and Paige — was escorted around Israel by a team of attentive IDF personnel, and surrounded by Israeli citizens overflowing with condolences.
"We now know why Max fell in love with Israel — it was all because of its people," Evie said in her speech at the Mount Herzl ceremony. She wore a black baseball cap with the Golani emblem; tears had smudged her mascara beneath her eyes.
Before a crowd of thousands, Evie replayed the morning that three members of the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles showed up at her door and "shared the horrific news that Max was killed during his mission into Gaza."
The family initially wanted to bring Max's body home to Los Angeles for burial, Evie said. However, "after further thought, we came to realize that was our selfishness. I wanted him near me and wanted to be able to see him every day I needed to. But after being in Israel, and seeing all the love and support, and how he is treated and remembered here, we decided that Max would remain in Israel — no longer the Lone Soldier, forever at his home."
In his speech for Max, the soldier's younger brother Jake, 22, included various quotes from Max's role model, Bob Marley. "These insightful quotes could be titles of chapters in your book of life," he said. "Unlike most people, Max, you didn't just admire a hero — you became one yourself."
The funeral was an implosion of emotions. Attendees could hardly hold back their tears as Max's coffin was lowered into its slot and covered in dirt by seven uniformed Golani soldiers. And by the time Max's sister Paige, 20, broke down at the podium, so did thousands listening.
"Maxie, I will miss you from the bottom of my heart. You are a hero to so many people, and my guardian angel forever," Paige said, barely forming the words through her tears.
The crowd's collective grief was deepened by an awareness that at that moment, other young IDF soldiers were still in Gaza, still in danger.
"Today, not a long drive from here by American terms, thousands of Israelis are fighting and risking their lives so we can remain a free and proud people in our country," said former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren, a trustee for the Lone Soldier Center, in his speech at the funeral.
After the ceremony, as dozens of bright floral wreaths were laid on Max's grave, members of the crowd told the Journal that their sorrow was laced with fear.
"You don't want to wake up in the morning and look at your phone and see the names [of the dead]," said Meytal Blumenthal, 23. "We all have friends there. Even the ones you don't know, somebody does."
As of press time on July 29, more than 1,000 Palestinians and more than 50 Israeli soldiers had been killed in three weeks of fighting in Gaza. And the night Max died, at the start of Israel's ground operation, was one of the deadliest for both sides. About 60 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers were killed when the IDF met unexpected resistance in the streets of Shejaiya, a dense residential neighborhood in east Gaza filled with Hamas infrastructure, and responded with heavy artillery fire.
Of the IDF's 13 casualties that night, Max and six others were killed when their tank hit an explosive in the road.
Evie pressed Max's fellow soldiers for details on the incident at their family's shivah, held at the Crowne Plaza Jerusalem hotel in the hours following the Mount Herzl funeral.
"He didn't feel any pain, did he?" she asked.
A young Golani soldier sitting shivah assured her that the explosion would have taken the soldiers' lives in an instant.
Another member of the Golani brigade told Evie a story from better days: He said that during the most intensive week in their training, "the week where we play out the war," Max — at just 5 feet 3 inches — got stuck carrying about 130 pounds of gear. "Nobody wanted to switch him, so for 15 kilometers he walked with it," the soldier said. "I thought, 'This guy's crazy.' "
When he moved to Israel in 2012, the IDF originally told Max he couldn't serve in Golani because his Hebrew wasn't strong enough. But he was persistent: At the funeral, Stuart remembered his son saying, "If it's not Golani, it's jail, or it's home."
Max's friend Eric Weiss, 21, a Lone Soldier from the U.S., called him "a fighter that never stopped giving ... an Energizer Bunny."
In addition to Max's army buddies, a lineup of world leaders stopped by the shivah to pay their respects and assure the Steinbergs that their son had not died in vain.
"I am in awe of your son, truly," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was in Israel to attempt to negotiate a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza. "And I think you know, I served in the military, and I have great respect for anybody who ... puts themselves willingly in harm's way. And as an American, we're so proud of the affection that he felt, just the love he felt, and the roots he found in this country."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry sat shivah with the Steinberg family at their Jerusalem hotel.
As Kerry left, he urged the family to contact him if they needed anything, and even promised to help Jake and Paige with college applications.
Tamir Ilan, 27, a former IDF soldier sitting shivah during Kerry's visit, commented to the Journal: "I don't think soldiers that fought in Iraq get this kind of treatment. It's weird, and amazing."
With just two days left in his term, Israeli President Shimon Peres came by the hotel to speak with the Steinbergs as well. "His brigade saved the lives of others, maybe thousands of people," Peres said of Max.
Shimon Peres, then-president of Israel, praised Max Steinberg's "depth, seriousness, devotion and courage," at the Steinberg family shivah.
He commended the "rare" bravery it took for Max to return to the battlefield just one day after he had emerged, shaken, from a minor tank accident. "He could very easily not have gone back," Peres said, calling Max "a young man of great depth."
Peres also took some time to explain to the family that after withdrawing from Gaza in 2005, Israel had left behind millions of dollars in housing and farming infrastructure to give the Gazan economy a push, but only got rockets in return. "It's blindness. It's nonsense. Their language is not ours," he said.
At the shivah, Peres was followed by Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York, and Sara Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister's wife. Their visits lasted deep into the evening. Surrounded by love and commotion, and fed bottomless cups of coffee by their IDF hosts, the Steinberg family found the strength to smile. But in moments of downtime, a look of realization would sometimes flash across their faces.
"I still can't wrap my head around it," Evie said into the hushed hotel conference room between visits from dignitaries. "It just doesn't seem possible."

Terrorist organization uncovered in the Kingdom, 62 arrested
May 6, 2014
A spokesman for the Ministry of Interior said in a statement today that Saudi security authorities have uncovered a terrorist organization operating inside the Kingdom with extensive links to extremists in Yemen and Syria. An investigation carried out over several months has led to the arrest of 62 individuals, including 59 Saudis. The remaining three suspects are Palestinian, Yemeni and Pakistani nationals.
The statement alleges that the organization's members were involved in planning and supporting criminal operations targeting government buildings, foreign interests, security forces, Muslim preachers and government officials. The group was heavily involved in smuggling weapons and people across the Kingdom's southern border, including known terrorists Arwa Baghdadi and Rima Al-Jarish.
During a raid, security forces discovered a laboratory manufacturing advanced electronic devices used for bombing, jamming and eavesdropping operations, in addition to modifying cell phones and producing devices for counterfeiting official documents. A terrorist funding cell was also uncovered, which had collected more than SR 900,000 [$240,000] in funds online and from other sources. A large amount of cash hidden in a briefcase was recovered.
In its statement, the Ministry of Interior reiterated that security forces will spare no efforts in maintaining the Kingdom's safety and stability. It encouraged citizens to cooperate with authorities and called upon the guilty to surrender.

Garlic is usually known to repel kisses, not encourage them. But lore has it that garlic is actually an aphrodisiac. On Sept. 8 and 9, the herb is getting some love of its own when the North Union Farmers Market hosts its third annual Cleveland Garlic Festival. What began as a fundraiser for the market has become a showcase for all things garlic, including this trio of unusual creations.
Garlic beer
This year, the festival has a garlic beer competition. A handful of local home-brewers' concoctions will be judged by a panel and sipped by attendees. "Beer is a wonderful medium for garlic," says Donita Anderson, executive director of North Union Farmers Market.
Garlic ice cream
Not your ordinary summer treat, Mitchell's roasted garlic pink peppercorn ice cream will makes its second appearance at the festival. "Peppercorn balances the garlic so it's still sweet," says Pete Mitchell, co-owner of Mitchell's Ice Cream.
Roasted garlic jelly
Crooked Creek Farms created this spread three years ago. "Our recipe is based on the fact that you roast the garlic before making the jelly," says co-owner Martha Sears. Try it with cream cheese and crackers or as a glaze for grilling chicken and pork.

High Fat Diet Destroys Arteries Early
by Dr. Reeja Tharu on April 11, 2012 at 3:31 PM Health Watch - G J E 4
A high fat diet can destroy your arteries earlier than what was previously expected. It has also been identified as one of the primary causative factors of high blood pressure (BP).
Marie Billaud and colleagues, from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, initiated a study in mice and the results have been reported in the Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research.
AdvertisementAs an individual grows older, the internal wall of the large intestine becomes thinner and increasingly elastic and this in turn leads to obesity, metabolic disease, atherosclerosis and abnormally high BP.
Although, at present, researchers and physicians are engaged in measuring arterial compliance of the large arteries (as a means to evaluate arterial stiffness) during the advanced stages of a health condition, it is not expected to provide adequate information about the initiation or progress of the disease.
Earlier studies have indicated that changes in the walls of small arteries are the most potent indicators of CVD and, early detection of these changes is important in the treatment and management of the condition.
Billaud and colleagues, as part of their research, compared the arterial compliance of two arteries of different sizes-the carotid artery (large) and thoracodorsal artery (smaller)- in mice.
The mice were divided into two groups. One of the groups was given high -fat diet for six weeks and the other, which formed the control group, was fed a normal diet.
Subsequently scientists observed rapid changes in the structural and mechanical properties of the small arteries in mice that were fed for six months on high-fat diet.
The scientists conclusively state, "These results suggest that, at an early stage of obesity, the structural properties of small and large arteries are altered whereas arterial stiffness is only observed in small vessels."
Other studies have shown that in humans the adipose cells surrounding the coronary arteries tend to become highly inflamed and this, in turn, could cause inflammation in the blood cells surrounding the arteries. When mice were fed with high-fat diet the inflammation of the fat tissues around the arteries increased.
The fact remains that inflammation of the adipose tissues around arteries is an important event in atherosclerosis, and that the lipid or cholesterol levels in these patients can appear normal.
Research therefore cautions us to go easy on high -fat diet and prompts us to adopt regular exercise to stay fit. After all, a healthy heart not only prolongs life but also adds quality to one's years...!

From Xyla Entertainment and Digital Tribe Entertainment, I'd like to introduce to you guys, Rush Bros.! A well thought out platformer that centers around music, and the beat--as well as beating out the competition. And, of course, what would any platformer be without tons of sharp, pointy, spikey things, aimed to kill you? I'm not the best platformer player, I'll admit. So, I saw a lot of the death animation while checking out this game.
Style, elegance, and uniqueness. These are but a few words that come to mind when visioning the BookBook for iPad. I have had the pleasure of slipping my new Retina-enabled iPad 3 into the BookBook and toting it around to various places and speaking engagements.
All along here at CV-Games, I have made no secret about my love for the Dead or Alive series. So naturally, when I heard about DOA3 for the Xbox, I was excited. However, there was a point when I...

Sample Abstract
Arthur Grothe - Heidelberg University
"An Icarus Who Flew Too Close...: A Social-Values Interpretation of the Barrymore Text" - Dr. Jan Younger
John Barrymore was a troubled man, to say the least. However, he was also an incredible acting talent, appearing in almost 60 films and 30 Broadway productions. He won critical acclaim for his portrayal of "Hamlet," a role which grew to epitomize his life. John Barrymore's vices were the subject of many headlines and scandals, eventually leading to his downfall. but it was during this time that he became a change agent for the value shift that took place during society in the nineteen twenties. By using a new play by William Luce, entitled " Barrymore," it is possible to come to understand the man John Barrymore and his place in history.
Ernest and Martha Hammel Research Award

On 16 September 2013, I was on one of my research trips, and the day was uneventful. I went about doing my usual tasks by visiting all of the places where the MogollonMonster.com team had experienced an event. My goal was to make it known that I was in the area.
Typically, when doing research I and my team members wear a bright red t-shirt and long pants. This serves a two-fold purpose. One reason is to be highly visible to both creatures and humans. Of course, being visible to humans is a safety concern due to hunters may be a little trigger happy when it comes to something moving through the bushes. Bright red should show up very well.
Why would we want to be highly visible to the animals? One reason is to not surprise any large animals that could present a danger to us such as a bear, cougar, or even an elk. What about a Bigfoot? Wouldn't be better to wear camouflage, scent remover, and sneak through the area as quietly as possible? The simple answer is NO! Sasquatch is the supreme creatures in the forest. Chances are they know of your presence in the area as soon as you step off the road. Decked out as a hunter and acting like a hunter only serves to put them on guard, and you will never get to see them.
The philosophy was to try to tweak their interest by not acting like a threat. Being hightly visible, leaving food and treats, talking to them (and the camera), and stumbling over rocks and bushes attracts their interest, and this is what I was doing.
Just before dark, I returned to my camp and sent up for night operations by setting out surveillance cameras on treats on the picnic table and every access point into that area. Next was the set up of my 33 inch parabolic sound amplifier. This would allow me to hear anything coming into camp.
I lay in bed with my headphones on and the sound amp running. About midnight, I picked up a whistler. This was not unusual, but I did notice the whistling was on the move. Then I noticed the growls between the whistling sequences. I could hear the growl even over an airplane which passed over during the event.
Then it happened. The one place I did not have a camera on got a visit. It was in the back of my truck. I had forgotten I left a bag of garbage and something was sorting through the trash. I got up and turned on the lights, and the intruder left the area. Funny thing was, the bag was intact, but the edible trash was gone. All of the cans and uneatable items were still in the bag. The bag top was untied, not ripped open.
Possible bear? Bears don't whistle and they don't take time to untie a garbage bag.

After a 13-year professional baseball career, former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Rich Thompson is going from playing America's favorite pastime to competing in American Ninja Warrior.
Thompson had quite the interesting baseball career. While mostly a minor league mainstay, Thompson reached the big leagues with the Kansas City Royals in 2004, but was mostly used as a pinch runner and his only at-bat came against catcher Tim Laker on April 20, 2004. Laker, a back-up catcher, only on the mound because his Cleveland Indians were losing 15-5 in an early season game. He grounded Thompson into a double play that day.
For eight years, Thompson went through Triple-A being 0-1 against a backup catcher. He finally reached the show again with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2012 was stuck around long enough to experience the MLB Fan Cave in it's inaugural year.
His baseball career ended with a broken foot while trying to make a play in the outfield in a minor league game in Durham in 2013. Since then, Thompson settled into a new career in business as a public accountant with KPMG. Thompson said that since he was working long hours in his new job and no longer preparing for the baseball season, he wasn't in his best shape.
With the help of a training regimen that put heavy emphasis in pull ups and dead hangs, Thompson managed to get himself in prime shape to pass the American Ninja Warrior tryouts and enter in the Miami Regionals for this current season. Thompson said that the competition was filled with mid-sized individuals who both light enough and strong enough to handle the upper body intensive course. Much of the overall field contained Olympic gymnasts like Jonathan Horton, who like fellow University of Oklahoma teammate and American Olympian Jake Dalton, have biceps bigger than that of NFL linebackers.
Thompson's competition in Miami consist of local stuntman who wears a Jabawoki mask, a man in a diaper, a pro wakeboarding legend, and "The Spartan". Through all the platform hopping and curtain swinging -- something he admitted that was "nothing I ever trained for" -- he made it to the regional finals, which will be aired on NBC Monday July 28, on 9 p.m. ET.
Thompson said that his career in professional baseball trained him to perform under pressure and made being in front of a crowd normal. A great deal of people like to dismiss baseball players as athletes when they compare the Adonis looking LeBron James to a pudgy power hitter like Miguel Cabrera. Thompson's performance in this form of athletic competition would shut up them all up, even if none of their nonsense ever reached him.
"I never heard negative perceptions about a baseball players athletic ability," Thompson said. "A lot of people think hitting a round ball with a round bat is one of the hardest things to do in sports."
Despite showing that he is healthy enough and more than athletic enough to play baseball professionally again, Thompson said that his participation in American Ninja Warrior does not signal a comeback.
"It was just a fun way to compete at something and see what I was capable of," Thompson said.
If Thompson makes it through the Miami finals, he'll go to Las Vegas to compete for the American Ninja Warrior Season 6's championship.

ELYRIA – The Amherst couple whose home 3-year-old Jesse Crum Jr. lived in prior to his March 2010 death received probation Friday for creating a dangerous environment for Jesse and his younger half-brother by growing marijuana inside their house.
Dallas Jones, 56, and Therese Jones, 51, had pleaded guilty earlier this year to endangering children and drug charges for their marijuana growing operation, which Assistant Lorain County Prosecutor Laura Dezort described Friday as large enough that the drug could be smelled by anyone stepping onto the front porch.
Although Dezort urged county Common Pleas Judge James Miraldi to impose a harsher sentenced, Miraldi said he could only punish the Joneses for the crimes they'd been convicted of. Prosecutors dropped additional endangering children charges stemming from Jesse's death as part of the plea bargain in the case.
Dezort said Jesse had been badly beaten and that both Alyson Sweany, Jesse's mother, and Peter Jones, Sweany's boyfriend, had marijuana in their systems when the boy died.
"Clearly there was a risk because Jesse is no longer with us," Dezort said.
Jesse was flown to Cleveland MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland on March 12, 2010, and died a few days later.
An autopsy determined that the boy died from blunt head trauma, brain hemorrhages and pneumonia.
Jesse's paternal grandmother, Christina Crum, has said that her grandson was beaten by Peter Jones and the abuse was ignored by Sweany and Dallas and Therese Jones, who were Peter Jones' parents.
Peter Jones hanged himself in June 2010, shortly before he was due in court for sentencing on endangering children charges for a January 2009 incident in which he scalded Jesse while giving the boy a bath. Peter Jones died before charges were brought in connection with Jesse's death.
Supporters of Sweany contend that no abuse took place and insist the multiple bruises and other injuries on Jesse were caused a few days before he was taken to the hospital. They have said a bookcase in the Jones house – where Jesse, Sweany, Peter Jones and Jesse's half-brother lived – fell on the boy when he was climbing on it.
Sweany's family argues that several items, including a laptop computer, fell on the boy, who never told anyone about the incident. They said Jesse appeared normal for days after the incident and that he was taken to the hospital when he began acting strangely.
Patricia Jones, Dallas and Therese Jones' daughter, said her parents took in Sweany and her family when they had no place else to go. She said they have both stopped smoking marijuana and are receiving treatment and therapy.
She said that even when she was growing up, she never saw marijuana and – despite her parents' love of marijuana – had never even seen them smoking the drug. She said they kept their bedroom door locked at all times.
"They're good people, and they have absolutely nothing to do with Jesse's death," Patricia Jones said.
Dallas and Therese Jones declined to comment before Miraldi imposed the sentence, although Dallas Jones did dispute how much marijuana police found in his home when it was searched for evidence regarding Jesse's death. He said much of the marijuana was useless parts of the plants that had accumulated over the years and he never got around to getting rid of.
Dezort disagreed with that assessment.
Mike Duff and Dan Wightman, the lawyers representing the Joneses, also insisted that the drugs were only for their clients' personal use and were never sold.
Following the hearing, Christina Crum said she hopes that Jesse's half-brother will be safer around the Joneses than her grandson was.
"They admitted they failed baby Jesse," Crum said. "They failed as grandparents."
Also Friday, Miraldi barred Sweany, who has pleaded guilty to endangering children charges and is awaiting sentencing, from having contact with the Crum family as a condition of remaining free on bond.
Crum sought and received a temporary civil stalking protection order earlier this week because of harassing and profanity-laced text messages and voicemails she said Sweany left for her. Dezort said that order will be dropped now that Miraldi has barred Sweany from having any contact with the Crum family.
