Morocco's distinctive landscapes and enduring cultural heritage offer an enticing journey into the heart of North Africa.
Part of Africa yet markedly different, Morocco is a fascinating study in contrasts. Old world medinas with noisy, narrow, winding lanes vie for attention with fashionable cafés, boutique shops and modern city centers. Sophisticated coastal cities such as Casablanca and Rabat boast an abundance of long white beaches, picturesque rocky coves and classic resorts.
The imperial cities of Meknes and Fes showcase fine examples of Islamic architecture and tradition. Inland cities are warm and exotic, set among hills and palm groves. The rugged, snow-capped Atlas Mountains stretch 2,414 kilometers/1,500 miles through Morocco and beyond. Berber tribes have lived in the region for thousands of years, and were first mentioned in writings of ancient Egyptians. Long-established villages such as Aït-Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serve as strongholds that preserve the Berber lifestyle, culture, music and art.
The country is also rich in Jewish heritage, with the first migration into his area coming after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem; and a second wave arrived from the Iberian Peninsula in the period immediately preceding and following the 1492 Alhambra Decree, when the Jews were expelled from the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal. At its peak in the 1940s, Morocco's Jewish population exceeded 250,000. Jewish heritage is seen throughout the country from the Mellah and Roben Ben Sadoun Synagogue in Fes to the coastal town of Safi, known as Little Jerusalem.
Like the intricate design of a Berber rug, Morocco weaves a spell that lasts a lifetime.

Suppose we model traffic flow between two points with a directed graph. Each route has either a constant travel time or one that linearly increases with traffic. We assume that each driver wishes to minimise their own travel time and we assume that the drivers form a Nash equilibria. Can removing a route ever decrease the average travelling time?
Note that the existence of multiple Nash equilibria makes this question a bit complicated. To clarify, I am looking for a route removal that will guarantee a decrease in the average traveling time regardless of the Nash equilibria that are chosen before and after.

College Hockey:Gallery: St. Cloud State skates the MacNaughton Cup
By Jim Rosvold • Chief Photographer •
Here are scenes from St. Cloud State's 5-1 victory over Alaska-Anchorage Saturday night at the National Hockey and Event Center in St. Cloud, Minn. The victory means that St. Cloud State advances to the WCHA Final Five and also triggered the MacNaughton Cup presentation, which was scheduled for the end of the playoff series. The MacNaughton Cup is presented to the WCHA regular season champion. St. Cloud State shared the trophy with Minnesota this season.

UMD didn't win in overtime on Saturday night.
- Scott Reed
Not officially, but those extra 5 seconds were a gift to UND
- Sioux Poo
UND is a goon squad and their fans are drunk buffoons.
- North Dakota!
You're a drunk buffoon for thinking that North Dakotan's are drunk baffoons. Just because you're jealous of how awesome North Dakota is, how great the people are from here, and how amazingly amazing the hockey program is here doesn't give you the right to bash on people that you wish you were but sadly are not. You need to calm down. GO SIOUX!!!
- SiouxHockey33
- Haters-gon-hate
yep, such goons. hard nosed hockey gets you nowhere-look at the bruins. real smart man. i personally like to watch hockey with as little hitting as possible.
- WearThemWithPride
Do you wear pink panties and fly a rainbow flag
- puckhead
Maybe you should just watch the ladies play then, if you like low impact hockey.
So stick your hand down the back side of your pants and push your undies out for between you butt cheeks and go watch the ladies play.
- SiouxHockey33
puckhead get your facts together. A) hitting may not be allowed in womens hockey, but it still is a contact sport. B) dont bash womens hockey because there is ALOT of skill involved in the game, and in my opinion some of the players have more skill than some of the D1 mens players. C) fans just looking for the fights and big hits in games is runing mens hockey, i know that it is a big part of the game, but its not what hockey is all about. hockey is about creative passing plays, scoring amazing goals, seeing a goalie completely rob someone, and great team play. so before you make a comment like this again be sure to get your facts together bro!
- bulldogs
2.5 seconds, right? but totally ridiculous I agree…
- DU_Fan
Saturday night's DU-MINN game was worthy of a Frozen Four game!!! The refs (Thul and Bokal) called probably the 2 best games at Magness Arena in the last couple of years. With the exception of a horrible non-offsides call, by Keltie, their judgement was perfect. Was really nice to have important games without Anderson, either Shepherd, or Adam……
- Csitzman
Have to disagree on the Rau suspension. The penalty should have been at least 2 games, if not more. As you have stated, it was pretty clear that he lined the guy up for a cheap shot. You seem to think that just because Zucker did not end up with a major injury that the league should just ignore a dirty hit. There are too many players ending up with serious injuries and it is time for a major crackdown on this stuff. I like a physical game, but there is no place in hockey for a late, blind hit and smacking a guys head around.
- DU_Fan
As one who was there, I agree that he should have been given a Match Misconduct which would have put him out of Saturday's game. Standing up for the refs though, who controlled both games perfectly, they knew the play would be reviewed by the WCHA office. Zucker released the puck about 3 full seconds before the hit and was on his way to the bench for a line change. Rau is not a dirty player, he usually is the one getting checked very hard due to his size, but this was a bad hit with an elbow to the head.
- nogofer
Do you WATCH Rau? NOT dirty? Are you kidding? Instigators across the hockey world emulate him…
- Hockey25
Are you serious? get your head out of the sand! Take a look at JT Brown's hit or Kristo's hit and then get back to me. These hits had more intent, and either player received a game suspension. Actually, Brown's hit came in the third period when the game was pretty much over, so why is this ok? Also, Blood throws a punch at Rau in the hand shake without suspension? I also think Rau shouldn't have received the extra game suspension – hit from behind – NO – hit to the head – NO.
- nogofer
Remember Mark Alt? OK, we got back to you…
- Ring_of_Fire
The argument put forth that the "consequences" of an illegal hit should, in some way, determine the punishment is completely asinine. Should Brad Malone have had his hockey career ended for him because of the consequences of the Jesse Martin hit?
Even the most blindingly homer-istic Denver fan would say, "no".
Rau's hit was late AND intentionally to the head. With the NCAA's focus on eliminating violent contact to the head, a game misconduct plus a one game suspension was ABSOLUTELY the right outcome, here.
I don't often praise the WCHA or its officials, but to their credit, they definitely got this one right.
- DU_Fan
Even though I am not fond of you catagorizing any fans a "blindingly homer-istic", and those that disagree with you as "completely asinine", I do agree with your thoughts. Brad Malone's hit on Jesse Martin had horrible results but, truthfully, it was a combination of an intentional charge and the fact Jess Martin put himself into a vulnerable position. Like I stated before, Thul and Bokal did a nice job this weekend and knew the hit would be reviewed. Those of us in attendance had no doubt that both Zucker and Rau would not be available Saturday.
- Ring_of_Fire
Apparently I should have been more clear. I wasn't singling out any particular team's fans. In fact, ANY team's fans can be "blindingly homer-istic" at times.
To whit: North Dakota fans claiming that Malone didn't charge Jesse Martin. Gophers fans claiming that the Rau hit was clean. Denver fans claiming that Paukovitch didn't deserve a suspension for the Bina hit.
Those that cannot or will not see past their rooting interest to realize when something is/was blatantly and irrevocably wrong are "blindingly homer-istic"…regardless of WHICH team they cheer for.
(FWIW, I am a DU season ticket holder and was "in attendance" as well…)
- Siouxhockeyrocks
Agreed. I just saw the JT Brown hit on Blood. Dirty as they come. Then Saturday Blood gets his first CFB. Now that being said….It seems like nearly every game I've seen this year or read about there has been a checking from behind penalty. CFB HAS TO GO! There is no place for it and I'm sure we can all agree. Time for college hockey to crack down.
Rau deserves his penalty and suspension. Where were the other suspensions? Its a complete joke. Bad boarding penalties, CFB, and contact to the head are all deserving of a suspension. Kristo should've had one as well. I'm a Sioux fan and have to say it's been a fault of all teams. I think the Sioux only have 3 CFB's all year. I know they've been on the receiving end of more than that.I propose that the first major penalty of these types deserves at least an additional game suspension. If the player receives a second major of Boarding, CFB, or contact to the head he must sit out 2 complete games or more. And a third should be the remainder of the season or at least 5 games.
I love physical play and wish for it to continue but please no more of this.
- Undsioux
CFB is a bad deal, people get hurt. That being said, I sat in the 1st row for both of those UMD games. It's unbelievable to me how many times a player purposely turns their back on an approaching player. I get that the "hope" is that the other player, traveling at full speed, will suddenly stop or that the hit will draw a penalty but the risk players are putting themselves at in these situations is ridiculous. I don't know if it's coached but guys are getting hurt doing this.
In the end, they need to allow the grab check that keeps the player from getting demolished
- guest
will the gophers play their way out of another NCAA tourny?
Good god, don't the Sioux fans realize how ignorant they are (ref's suck, other team full of goons, we had a player injured) and they sound like Packer fans if there team goes 5-11.
- nogofer
You don't understand hockey so we undersrtand…

Nature photographers around East Tennessee will have the opportunity on Saturday, April 24th, to learn from one of America's best photographers of the natural world. Adam Jones, who specializes in travel, nature, and wildlife photography, will be conducting an all-day classroom workshop at Pellissippi State Community College.
Jones has won many awards for his work with the camera and is one of 62 photographers around the world to be selected by Canon to be an Explorer of Light. An internationally recognized stock photographer, his work has appeared in more than 30 countries. He is also the author of numerous books on nature photography, including two books on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In addition to shooting and writing, Jones conducts international and domestic photo tours, workshops, and seminars. You can see more than 3500 of his images at www.adamjonesphoto.com.
Canon is sponsoring Jones in cooperation with Southern Appalachian Nature Photographers (SANP), a Knoxville-based organization of amateur and professional nature photographers. The workshop, which is open to the public, has room for 150 participants and costs $20, including lunch. It is being held in the Goins Auditorium on Pellissippi State's Hardin Valley campus and will go from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pre-registration is required, and forms may be picked up at Thompson Photo Products, 2019 Middlebrook Pike, in Knoxville.
With East Tennessee's spring beauty in full glory, now is a great time to learn from a master how to photograph it.

The chain of disturbances over the northern Pacific Ocean, aided and abetted by a surge of equatorial moisture, should give us a decent chance at rainfall this weekend. Thunderstorms may actually occur over West Texas on Friday evening, but the better spread of convection will be from Saturday afternoon through Sunday night over the eastern two-thirds of the state. Since an upper level low will be hanging back over northern Mexico, there is a fair chance that the front triggering the convection may stall with a wave formation. If so, then chances will be in place for heavy rainfall, and perhaps some severe weather as well before the boundary slips eastward on Monday.
I suspect that temperatures will trend milder or warmer after a brief drop early next week. Many of the numerical models have backed away from previous outlines favoring widespread cold weather across much of the lower 48 states. Instead, a consensus is emerging that the West Coast and the Northeast will be the only truly chilly places in the U.S., with the Intermountain Region, Great Plains, Corn Belt and Much of Dixie in a mild or warm pattern. The next reasonable chance for important rainfall may not be until St. Patrick's Day from the storm now entering the Gulf of Alaska.

Coming this May, Zoe Saldana will spawn Satan's kid in the Roman Polanski remake chiller "Rosemary's Baby.' This time around Saldana will play the role of Rosemary Woodhouse which was originated by Mia Farrow in the 1968 psychological thriller. USA network's 'Suits' actor, Patrick J. Adams will play the role of her husband Guy Woodhouse.
Based on the Ira Levin's 1967 suspense novel, the four-hour miniseries will tell the story of a young woman who is unknowingly pregnant with the Antichrist and plagued by meddlesome neighbors who do know. Unlike the movie, the setting will take place in Paris instead of New York. However, just like the movie, Guy and Rosemary are targeted by a satanic cult lead by deceptively friendly neighbors, Roman and Minnie Castevet.
In the 1968 movie, Ruth Gordon gave such an outstanding performance as Minnie Castevet, it garnered her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making the film the only horror movie to receive an Oscar for lead or supporting role until 1991's 'The Silence of the Lambs.'

College Hockey:Off To Detroit: Northern Michigan Finishes Sweep Of UNO
Wildcat 'D' Holds Off Mavericks Late
MARQUETTE, Mich. — With the crowd chanting, "Hey, ho, we're going to the Joe!" in the background, the Northern Michigan Wildcats stamped their ticket to CCHA championship weekend in Detroit for a fifth straight season, beating Nebraska-Omaha, 3-2, at the Berry Events Center on Saturday to complete a two-game sweep of the Mavericks.
The Wildcats are now riding a six-game winning streak, one that comes at the most important time of the season. During the streak, Northern has found some consistency on the offensive side of the puck, tallying at least four markers five times. Prior to that, NMU had scored fewer than four goals in seven consecutive games, winning just two of those contests.
The win did not come easy for Northern, which built a 3-0 lead in the second period, then had to hold on in the third.
The Mavericks scored a pair of third-period power-play goals to get within one, but the Northern defense buckled down, holding UNO off the scoreboard for the rest of the game. The Mavs had a last-chance flurry to tie the contest, but the defense held up.
"You have to give [Omaha] a lot of credit," said NMU coach Walt Kyle. "They never quit, they kept coming. We got a little complacent; we laid back a little bit.
"We took some penalties that we didn't need to take. That gave them some momentum. I didn't think [we] reacted particularly well. But, inside of five minutes, our veterans … took over and got our team composed. I thought we did a very good job from that point forward."
"We just kept fighting," said UNO coach Mike Kemp. "I give our kids a lot of credit. We dug ourselves a big hole like we did last night, but tonight, they saw fit to fight through to the finish. We actually created the opportunities to get those power-play chances in the third period. We were putting pressure on. We were forcing them to take penalties … and consequently, we got the opportunity to finish a couple."
Bill Zaniboni was strong again in net for Northern Michigan. He stopped 28 of 30 shots, allowing just a pair of power-play goals to gain his 18th win of the year. Zaniboni credited the defensive corps for helping complete the sweep.
"We played great defense all weekend," said Zaniboni. "Preparing to come into this weekend, we knew we had to play good defense against Nebraska. They've got a great offensive squad, and they've got a lot of guys that are very dangerous in front of the net. We knew what we were going to have to face, and we had to really buckle down."
For a second consecutive night, the Wildcats got another strong showing from that defensive corps. They allowed just three goals in the two-game sweep of the Mavericks, none of them at even strength.
"We just made [our] people aware of their top people," said Kyle. "We made sure we finished our checks, we made sure that we always had numbers back. We made sure we didn't pinch against their top lines. Just fundamental hockey. You win by grit, guts, determination."
Early on, it looked as if the defense was going to have to carry Northern through the night. After a tight first period with plenty of chances but nothing on the scoreboard to show for it, NMU struck for three goals in the middle stanza, seemingly putting a dagger through the hearts of the Mavericks.
"We really came out and forechecked," said Kyle. "We forechecked them hard. We had great possessions in the cycle."
"They were opportunistic," Kemp said of Northern in the second period. "They got their chances, they buried their chances."
For a second straight night, one of college hockey's top lines was unable to generate any significant offense against the stingy Wildcat defense. The UNO line of Scott Parse, Bryan Marshall, and Bill Thomas was held to just two points on the weekend.
"[Northern] had a checking line, and they made sure [Nathan] Oystrick and [Geoff] Waugh were on the ice as much as possible," remarked Kemp. "It was a great plan and they executed it very well. They did an excellent job of holding our guys down."
Pat Bateman opened the scoring for the Wildcats at 1:41 of the second period. Bateman, skating behind the goal, wrapped a puck around the net and behind goaltender Jerad Kaufmann for the 1-0 lead. Mike Santorelli and Darin Olver assisted.
Jamie Milam gave NMU a 2-0 lead less than four minutes later. He took advantage of a Jason Krischuk penalty to score Northern's first power-play goal on the night. Nathan Oystrick, stationed in the left circle, dropped a pass back to Milam at the point, who fired a bomb toward the goal and through the five-hole of Kaufmann for his eighth tally of the year. Dirk Southern also assisted.
The Wildcats thought they had sealed the game with their third goal of the period, shorthanded. Andrew Contois picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone, skated by a pair of defenders, then feigned going behind the net.
As Kaufmann began moving toward the other side of the crease, Contois banked a shot off the body of the UNO goaltender and into the back of the twine for the 3-0 lead. Southern assisted.
UNO broke up the shutout in the third period on a power play goal. Kaleb Betts fired a slapshot from the top of the circle that clanged off the pipe and into the net for his sixth goal of the year. Alex Nikiforuk assisted.
The Mavericks cut the lead to one just over three minutes later on a 5-on-3. Nikiforuk notched his 13th goal of the year on a wrister that was assisted by Bill Thomas and Tomas Klempa.
Northern Michigan finished the night 1-for-3 on the power play, while the Mavericks were 2-of-7 with the man advantage.
Bill Zaniboni stopped 28 of 30 shots that he faced in the victory. Jerad Kaufmann made 15 saves in 18 attempts.
The Wildcats will move on to play in the CCHA semifinals at Joe Louis Arena on Friday. It is their fifth consecutive trip to Joe Louis; however, the 'Cats have not won their first game in Detroit since 2003, having been tripped up in the quarterfinals each of the last two years under the CCHA's old "Super Six" playoff format.
"It's special," said Contois on reaching Joe Louis Arena for four consecutive years. "Ten years from now, you look back and say that maybe you had a pretty good run there. But, as of right now, it's to the point where we haven't accomplished much down there. We haven't taken care of business.
"This year, we're going to go down there and take care of business. No one remembers a team that just made it down there, everybody remembers a team that won it all, and that's what we're going down there to do."
"You can't ask for anything else over a four-year career, except winning it," added Oystrick. "It's been a goal this year. We're on a roll right now; hopefully, we'll keep it going."

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Abrams, Muhal Richard
Pianist and composer Muhal Richard Abrams combines influences from classical, jazz and experimental music in a prolific, thorougly modern and personal body of work. Cofounder and New York chapter president of Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, He has dedicated his life and career towards the progress of new music in the jazz idiom.

As a pianist, Abrams' style includes free jazz, bebop, contemporary classical music and stride piano. Muhal's technique runs the gamut of freewheeling blues-inspired reflections, progressive atonality and unbridled phrasing. The result is a sound that is equally reflective of jazz's past as well as its future.
Richard Abrams was born on September 19, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. As a teenager, Abrams attended DuSable High School in Chicago where he focused his attention more towards the school's sports program than the music program. Wanting to learn more about music, Muhal briefly enrolled at Chicago's Roosevelt University. He left stating that what he was learning was not what he was hearing in the Chicago jazz scene.
Soon after, Abrams decided to teach himself what he wanted to learn. Upon acquiring a piano, Muhal tirelessly taught himself the fundamentals of music including everything from basic reading skills to transcribing solos. Early influences included Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk. When it came to composition, Muhal has cited bandleaders Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington as his primary influences.
During this period, Abrams also picked up the fundamentals of several other instruments including the clarinet and cello. He sharpened this composition and arranging skills by observing and listening to other artists as well as analyzing their work.
At the age of seventeen, Abrams enrolled at Chicago Musical College, which he attended for four years. In 1948, made his professional performance debut and two years later, he secured a gig writing music for the King Fleming Band. Upon finishing his studies at Chicago Musical College, he began to attend Governors State University where he took courses in electronic music.
Throughout the 1950s, Abrams began to accompany several local and visiting musicians in Chicago including drummer Max Roach, saxophonists Dexter Gordon and Sonny Stitt and singer Ruth Brown, amongst others. In 1957, Muhal became a member of drummer Walter Perkins' group "Modern Jazz Two + Three," otherwise known as the "MJT + 3." In the following year, he made his recording debut with the group with Daddy-O Presents MJT + 3. The album features several Abrams originals including "End of the Line" and "No Land's Man."
In 1961, Abrams and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris joined forces with trumpeter Johnny Hines to form an ensemble where they could workshop their ideas and compositions. Harris would later state that dozens of enthusiastic musicians of numerous ages and levels of talent attended these workshops, though the ensemble disbanded after several months.
Taking the idea of a band to workshop his ideas, Abrams formed his first group the Experimental Band in the early 1960s, which for a brief time included a young Don Pullen. The ensemble featured some of the best talent in Chicago including Harris, saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Donald Garret and bassist Victor Sproles. The band was initially started as a rehearsal group and was short-lived. Though the group was momentary, it sowed the seeds of what would later be known as the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, otherwise known as the "AACM."
The AACM officially formed in Chicago on May 8, 1965. The group was a collective of musicians that wished to see the full sonic potential of their music and each other. Abrams was the group's first president and one of its main proponents. One of the major ideas of the group was the encouragement of young musicians to become familiar with the history of jazz so that they can better experiment in the idiom. They were inspired by the avant-garde jazz that was happening in New York City, with alto saxophonists Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy being of particular inspiration.
Before long, the AACM began to expand, including saxophonist Anthony Braxton, trumpeters Lester Bowie and Leo Smith, drummer Steve McCall and violinist Leroy Jenkins. The AACM began to become a Chicago staple with its members starting other groups and side projects including the Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Creative Construction Company.
By the late 1960s, Abrams set out to show the world what he had been work shopping with the AACM. In 1967, Muhal recorded Levels and Degrees of Light, his debut album as a leader. The album is of note partly because it was the first recording sessions for Braxton as well charting the course for his compositional genius for decades to come. The album features contributions from Leroy Jenkins, saxophonist Maurice McIntyre, vibraphonist Gordon Emmanuel, bassist Leonard Jones and vocalist Penelope Taylor. Before the release of the album, he added the "Muhal" in front on his name.
In the following year, Abrams performed on Braxton's album 3 Compositions of New Jazz on which he played piano, cello and clarinet. In 1969, Muhal released the album Young at Heart/Wise in Time. He continued his prolific recording with the decade to come by appearing with trumpeter Kenny Dorham on his 1970 release Kenny Dorham Sextet. In 1971, Abrams appeared on Eddie Harris' album Instant Death for Atlantic Records.
The album's title song is a great example of Muhal's work in this period.The song begins with Abrams performing a funky phrase on the electric piano before the rest of the ensemble comes into the arrangement. The light, airy performance of Muhal's serves to solidify the free from, yet very tight arrangement of the song. With the help of bassist Rufus Reid, his overall performance is augmented with Reid solidifying the rhythmic foundation of the song, which frees up Abrams' melodic potential.
The following year, Abrams released the album Things to Come from Those Now Gone. The album along with his 1976 release Sightsong, showcases the ever-evolving compositional desires of Muhal with both albums incorporating bebop, electronic music, orchestral music and even opera. Released on the Black Saint label, Sightsong was an album co-led with bassist Malachi Favors of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. The same year, he recorded the album Duets with Braxton.
In 1975, Abrams moved to New York City where he began to perform and record in a variety of formats whether as a soloist or in duos with Lewis, Braxton, Leroy Jenkins and pianist Amina Claudine Myers. Muhal also led smalls group and a big band that featured saxophonist Henry Threadgill, and drummer Andrew Cyrille amongst others.
Upon his arrival in New York City, Abrams found himself a major player in the city's loft jazz scene, which were jazz performances at venues that were once formal industrial spaces in the city's Soho neighborhood. Muhal continued to experiment with different styles with 1978's 1-OQA+19. The same year, he performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, which expanded his presence in the European jazz community.
By the early 1980s, Abrams began to experiment with different vocal and synthesizer effects, an early example being is 1980 album Spihumonesty. The same year, he recorded his project Mama and Daddy, an ambitious endeavor that saw the instrumentation including strings, brass and percussion blending with experimental music and chamber music.
Abrams continued his experiments with the orchestra with his 1981 album Blues Forever and its follow-up release Rejoicing with the Light in 1983. During this time, Muhal began to receive more commissions for his work, including "Variations for Solo Saxophone, Flute and Chamber Orchestra," which was commissioned by the City of Chicago for the 1982 New Music America Festival.
Muhal opted for smaller groups with 1985's View from Within. A standout track on View from Within is the song "Down at Pepper's." This blues-infused number showcases the relaxed feel of Abrams, with his tight piano rolls and blues scale-laden melodic devices. Muhal's use of descending half steps back into the verse makes the overall blues feel that much more classic. The song also serves to demonstrate his superb accompanying skills, with his rich ornamentations serving to bring out the timbre of trumpeter Stanton Davis Jr.'s performance.
The same year, Abrams' compositional efforts received a boost in acclaim when he composed the piece "String Quartet #2" for the acclaimed Kronos Quartet. The piece was premiered on November 22, 1985 at the Carnegie Recital Hall in New York. On February 7, 1986, Muhal performed with bassist Cecil McBee at the Carnegie Recital Hall. Four days later, pianists Ursula Oppens and Frederic Rzewski at the Whitney Museum in New York City performed his piece "Piano Duet #1".
In 1987, Abrams released the album Colors in Thirty-Third. The album's title track is an excellent example of his 1980s compositional efforts. Arranged for violin, soprano sax, piano, bass and drums, the song showcases how tight his arranging is for the unusual instrumentation. Richard's use of counterpoint within the ensemble is especially noteworthy, with each voice weaving in and out of each other with ease.
In the late 1980s, Abrams led a quintet that featured Stanton Davis and saxophonist John Purcell. On July 9, 1988, Muhal's piece "Folk Tales 88" was performed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra at Fort Hamilton Base in Brooklyn, New York. In, 1989, he performed at the Knitting Factory in New York with Purcell, Andrew Cyrille and bassist Fred Hopkins. The following year, he was the first recipient of the Danish Jazz Center's Jazzpar Award.
Abrams began the 1990s with the release of his album Blu Blu Blu. The album was lauded as one of Muhal's strongest albums as a leader of a big band. In the following year, he brought his orchestra on a tour of France. Two years later, he performed in a duo with Roscoe Mitchell.
In 1994, Abrams performed in Britain with an octet and in New York with a quintet that included trumpeter Eddie Allen, bassist Bradley Jones and drummer Reggie Nicholson. The following year Muhal released the album One Live, Two Views, which featured his continuing experiments with the juxtaposition of jazz, classical music and traditional African music.
In 1996, Abrams paid tribute to Thelonoius Monk with the album Interpretations of Monk, Vol. 1. The project came about from a series of recordings he made at Columbia University in 1981 with pianist Barry Harris. The same year, he released the album Open Air Meeting, an album of duets with saxophonist/clarinetist Marty Ehrlich.
In 1997, Abrams received a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award. Muhal continues to be active with the AACM, serving as the president of its New York chapter. He is also on the board of the National Jazz Service Association and was once a panelist for the National Endowments for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts.
In 1999, Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago declared April 11, 1999 "Muhal Richard Abrams Day" in Chicago. Abrams continues to educate outside of the AACM by teaching composition and improvisation at several schools and organizations including academic positions at Columbia University, Syracuse University, and The New England Conservatory. He has also led workshops and lectured internationally at The Banff Centre in Canada and The Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.
In March 2001, Abrams released the album Visibility of Thought on the Mutable Music label. The album features four contemporary classical pieces as well as an electronic piece and a thirty-minute piano improvisation. In October 2006, Muhal released the album Streaming with George Lewis and Roscoe Mitchell. The album's use of exploratory electronic sounds juxtaposed with free jazz makes the album a shining example in the three men's discography.
In 2008, Abrams performed with Amina Claudine Myers at The Kitchen in New York City. Muhal's most recent release is the live album Vision Towards Essence in 2008. Originally recorded on September 11, 1998 at the Guelph Jazz Festival in Canada, the album features three solo pieces showcasing the various techniques and styles of Abrams.
In May 2009, Abrams was declared a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States' highest honor for jazz musicians. Abrams lives in New York City where he continues to perform with his own ensembles and as a soloist and composer for the orchestra and chamber works.

In today's economy of rising costs and falling pay it is tough to take the family out and enjoy an evening. Add to that family foster children with very little monetary compensation and going out is a thing of the past.
With that in mind I have put together a little list of fun free things the whole family can enjoy in our area, starting with places that offer free or discounted meals for children. Check this list from about.com . Also, in case you didn't know, if your child gets Mac and Cheese or Spaghetti off the kids menu at Red Robin they get free refills! They also offer free french fry refils for any age!
Before or after you eat you can also enjoy all kinds of free concerts around town. Bridge Street Town Centre, Big Spring Park, Madison Downtown Gazebo, Huntsville Public library all offer free concerts all summer long, and these are just a few!
Several places also offer free or discounted movies for families. Places like Monaco Theatres, The Rave, Madison square 1-9, and Regal Hollywood 18.
Bridge Street Town Center also offers water play for the little ones. Water jets shooting out of the ground for your little water bug to romp and play in is always a good time and Big Spring park offers a great oppurtunity to feed the ducks and fish.
You can find an even longer list of free stuff here, so don't let the heat or your wallet hinder you summer fun!

One of the first things a visitor to Hawaii notices upon their arrival at the airport or first stop at any convenience store are the huge displays of macadamia nut products, such as gift packs of dry roasted nuts, chocolate covered nuts and macadamia nut brittle. The selection is almost endless and the prices are amazing, less than half of what you would pay on the mainland for the same items.
How is this possible? Well, the answer is very simple. Hawaii is the macadamia nut capital of the world, growing 90% of the world's macadamia nuts.
Beautifully illustrated, this book contains a number of Macadamia Nut recipes that are sure to please. Aloha!
Kohana Au has long been associated with a number of projects throughout Polynesia and the Hawaiian Islands. As a Featured Writer for the Kauai Menu Magazine he has extensive first hand experience with the islands. Kohana Au shares his passion and knowledge of the culture, history and legends of these very special societies and people. "As a world traveler, sailor and adventurer I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience and enjoy many places and people. I hope I can share with you, my friends and readers, just some of these adventures and places. " Aloha - Me ke aloha pau ole "with best wishes without end"

kohanaau says @robform...Thank you for your comment! Upon reading the book you will find that I have indeed provided the history and Australian origin of the Macadamia tree....right down to the person whose name was used! E oni wale no oukou i Ku' pono 'a' ole pau....
posted at 11:48AM Feb 24 PST
robform says The Macadamia tree is originally from Australia, having grown wild in Northern New South Wales and Souther Queensland. The local Aboriginals called it Gyndl or Jindilli. It was taken and cultivated in Hawaii in the early 1900's. Australia is actually the world's largest producer of Macadamia nuts, followed by the U.S.

The New York Law Journal carried a story on December 18 on the distribution of 1500 Christmas cards to the friends and associates of a New York law firm, Rudolph & Beer. Playing off the name of the firm, the card showed a picture of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer dressed as one of the three Wise Men, bringing a foaming mug of beer to the baby Jesus. The Catholic League failed to find the humor in all this and let the law firm know it. An apology was granted within 24 hours.

Drazen, D; Lichtsteiner, P; Hafliger, P; Delbruck, T; Jensen, A (2011). Toward real-time particle tracking using an event-based dynamic vision sensor. Experiments in Fluids, 51(5):1465-1469.
|Accepted Version
View at publisher
Optically based measurements in high Reynolds number fluid flows often require high-speed imaging techniques. These cameras typically record data internally and thus are limited by the amount of onboard memory available. A novel camera technology for use in particle tracking velocimetry is presented in this paper. This technology consists of a dynamic vision sensor in which pixels operate in parallel, transmitting asynchronous events only when relative changes in intensity of approximately 10% are encountered with a temporal resolution of 1 mu s. This results in a recording system whose data storage and bandwidth requirements are about 100 times smaller than a typical high-speed image sensor. Post-processing times of data collected from this sensor also increase to about 10 times faster than real time. We present a proof-of-concept study comparing this novel sensor with a high-speed CMOS camera capable of recording up to 2,000 fps at 1,024 x 1,024 pixels. Comparisons are made in the ability of each system to track dense (rho >1 g/cm(3)) particles in a solid-liquid two-phase pipe flow. Reynolds numbers based on the bulk velocity and pipe diameter up to 100,000 are investigated.

Arnold, Bertelsen Named WGCA All-American Scholars
Hannah Arnold and Stephanie Bertelsen were named to the All-America Scholar Team on Tuesday
July 2, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior Hannah Arnold and junior Stephanie Bertelsen were named to the All-America Scholar Team on Tuesday by the Women's Golf Coaches Association.
A total of 664 women's golfers from Divisions I, II and III were recognized with this prestigious honor this year. Student athletes must have a minimum cumulative 3.50 GPA to be considered for the selection.
"This is such a great honor for both Hannah and Stephanie," head coach JoJo Robertson said. "It's always good to see your student athletes not only rewarded for their hard work on the golf course but in the classroom, as well."
Arnold finished her final season at Tech this past spring with a tie for 13th at the Big 12 Conference Championship in Austin (75-74-74--223) and currently has a 3.81 cumulative GPA in the classroom as she works toward finishing her bachelor's degree in exercise and sport science this December at Tech.
Bertelsen was the top finisher for Tech at the Big 12 Championship with an 11th place finish at 5-over par (70-76-75--221). She ended her first season at Tech with three top 15 finishes and two top 10 finishes after transferring from Texas Western College in the fall of 2013. Bertelsen currently has a 3.62 cumulative GPA as she works toward her bachelor's degree in general business.

Jim Carrey has accepted Shia LaBeouf's apology for LaBeouf's latest Twitter outburst in which LaBeouf attacked Carrey's parenting skills.
On Jan. 14, 2014, Carrey's ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy said on her talk show "The View": "You can attack myself, but don't bring my children into it. And I'm sure it's the same for Jim ... Jim and I have become friends now since our breakup. We dated for five years, and I got to know his daughter, Jane, who is a lovely, lovely girl. It's completely uncalled for and wrong. Jim is a great father. He loves Jane more than anything in the world. Shia did apologize and Jim did take it, but the whole thing is, do not bring our children into it."
LaBeouf (who is best known for starring in the first three "Transformers" movies) has been at the center of controversy over the past several months, including public fighting and accusations of plagiarism. LaBeouf has made numerous public apologies for his short film "HowardCantour.com." which he admitted copied significantly from Daniel Clowes' graphic novel "Justin M. Damiano." Although "HowardCantour.com" was shown at film festivals beginning in 2012, the plagiarism accusations didn't come until December 2013, when LaBeaouf posted the movie online.
On Jan. 10, 2014, LaBeouf announced on Twitter that he was "retiring from all public life," but his announcement was met with overwhelming skepticism from the public.
His "retirement from all public life" didn't last long because LaBeouf went on Twitter to make a personal attack against Carey on Jan. 13, 2014.
It all started when Carrey made a joke on stage while he was a presenter at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 12. Carrey joked, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard ... I believe it was Shia LaBeouf who said that."
LaBeouf then lashed out on Twitter by posting a YouTube video of Carrey's daughter's band, the Jane Carrey Band, with this accompanying message: "At least I don't get arrested for indecency on major LA highways! Or abandon love child's."
LaBeouf, however, has been arrested multiple times for incidents related to his drunken behavior.
Jane Carrey, 26, is Jim Carrey's daughter from his marriage to his first wife, Melissa. Jane Carrey, who was an "American Idol" contestant in 2012, has not publicly commented on LaBeouf's insult.
Jim Carrey has not publicly commented either, although McCarthy has revealed that Carrey has privately accepted LaBeouf's apology.
Jim Carrey is also no stranger to recent controversy. In 2013, he publicly denounced his involvement in the movie "Kick-Ass 2," by saying he regretted doing the film because he thinks it glorifies violence. Carrey subsequently refused to participate in promoting the movie.

No installation is required, and the new feature is easily accessible in a chat window, simply open the "Actions" menu and click "Send a file." Once an item has been selected, the recipient will have an opportunity to accept or decline the transfer.
Google also said that it plans to bring the same functionality to Gmail's integrated chat feature. Considering the fact the Google Talk desktop application has this capability, and since the web-based application has video and voice chat, the ability to send files is a strange omission.
The company hasn't given an exact timeframe for when the feature will appear in Gmail.

On Sunday night's episode of "The Walking Dead," we had a reunion, a rabbit fight and we finally got to see Terminus, the place everyone is traveling toward. It seems idyllic, with its flowers and the friendly woman cooking up a hot meal like some kind of post-apocalyptic house mother.
But is it me, or does it seem too good to be true? Like, as in a trap to lure in survivors?
(Spoilers ahead.)
After so many episodes with the prison gang split up into groups, we got the most important reunion of the season yet, with the show's lovebirds, Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan.) Not only did Maggie's group of three join up with Glenn and Tara (Alana Masterson,) but so did Abraham's trio (Michael Cudlitz) after a split earlier in the episode over a dispute whether to go through a tunnel with walkers.
While Glenn and Maggie were certainly glad to see each other, Tara must've been sweating it because of her history as part of a group headed by The Governor. You know, the guy who destroyed their prison home, ruining everything. And, oh yeah, cut off Maggie's dad's head.
That could've been a real awkward moment for Tara, but Glenn told Maggie that she was someone he met on the road, giving her final absolution for the guilt she's been carrying from being part of The Governor's attack pack. Tara can now move forward with a clean slate, as Glenn is the only one who knows what a dire mistake she made drinking The Gov's Kool-Aid.
That pretty much closes that chapter of their history for good. Which means there must be a new menace on the horizon. Like, at the end of the tracks, maybe?
Meanwhile, Daryl (Norman Reedus) found himself at odds with one of his band of not-so-merry fellows, when the jerk tried to poach a rabbit shot by Daryl. This argument caused the leader of the pack to break down the "rules" to Daryl and settle the feud, but to make a long story short, the idiot in the group couldn't let it go. Fortunately, the head honcho had enough sense to realize Daryl wasn't the problem. And it seemed someone in the group decided Daryl should replace the troublemaker, and dispatched him while they slept.
So Daryl is hanging tough as always, but still no sign of Beth, who disappeared into a car speeding off into the night two episodes ago.
But let's talk about Terminus. As the Glenn/Maggie/Abraham supergroup approached the large industrial building bearing its name, there was no one to be seen. The gates had chains, but they were unlocked, so the group was able to walk right in past boxes of flowers. There was a sign telling them to lower their weapons, as someone would meet them. And they came around a corner where they saw a lone woman with her back to them, stirring up some kind of stew it seemed with a big grill behind her. She turned and smiled at them, and told them to make themselves at home while she fixed them a plate.
Okay, am I the only one thinking a plate for them to eat, or a plate she's planning on putting them on?
I was expecting her to turn around the big slab of bloody human ribs she had cooked it up, because those who read the comic books know that one of the horrors humans face in the comic book version of the series is cannibals. And everything seems just a little too perfect and pretty, like a big Venus Flytrap.
This has got to be a trap. Especially with only one more episode to go in the season, which means all hell is gonna break loose next week. So you know -- you know -- this is a bad, bad place. I guarantee you next week, within the first two minutes of the season finale, you'll be screaming at the screen, "Oh, hell no!"
So what do you think? What do you think lies behind the seemingly all but deserted Terminus? Will the show writers introduce cannibals like the comic books, or surprise us with something totally different? Will the gang finally all reach their destination and be reunited, and if they are, will they sit down and dine together or be the main course?
These are the burning questions that will be answered next week, when "The Walking Dead" wraps up Season 4.

New York-based journalist Johnny Misheff writes about the worlds of art, fashion and culture, lending a distinct voice to the on-going collective discourse. Writing for a variety of publications, including The New York Times, Style.com, DIS Magazine and V Magazine, Misheff has a broad understanding of, and has written extensively about, the trends that shape the world as we know it. Having also worked extensively in marketing/communications, on a consulting basis for boutique clothing brands and currently as the Communication Manager at SWELL, a unique and innovative creative agency, Misheff is well versed in all matters of media—be it social or digital. He is also proud to be the founder, editor and curator of Rereveal.com, an online arts publication that serves as an insider round table on the art world. Artists, curators and gallerists such as Kelly Taxter, Ryan McNamara, Kalup Linzy, Rita Ackermann and David Sherry have all lent their voices to Rereveal in one way or another.
What's hot right now?
I'm equally pulled toward and repelled by all the latest technologies. At SWELL, we crack jokes about how crazy the future is looking what with all the advances in augmented realities and artificial intelligence. On the one hand, it's absolutely terrifying to consider the Terminator-esque possibilities. On the other hand, things are looking a little lighter, less drastic, too. For instance, I'm not a big video game guy, but the gaming world is looking pretty fun and much more positive, issuing fewer bloody war games and more physical activity-based games lacking violence. New toys like Microsoft's Kinect eliminate controllers and rely on body movement, using three "eyes" to track players and a seriously mind-boggling series of algorithms that are capable of registering people of a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This scares and delights me all at once. But I should emphasize that these new games are considerably less violent and rely on more interactive physical exertion, and that is a direction I'm totally into.
What are your go-to pieces for fall?
I don't know what I'd do without my Vasque Skywalks, they're incredibly durable and have such a handsome and classic design. I've had the same pair for over ten years now and have had them re-soled twice. I'll be layering a lot, as per usual this fall. I like to go see Conrad at the Brooklyn Flea Market for his incredible selection of vintage LL Bean and Patagonia outerwear, and the best chunky sweaters around. I pretty much stick to a uniform. I can't even tell you how many classic blue oxford button-downs I own (Band Of Outsiders makes the best). I pair them with basic khaki's or a nice, naturally worn-in pair of APC jeans and call it a day. My black Y-3 leather motorcycle gloves lined in cashmere are probably the most ambitious pieces of clothing I own and I'm completely obsessed with them.
What should men buy to amplify their style quotient?
I will say this: unless you're one of the few dudes who can actually get away with the brilliantly avant looks from designers like Siki Im or Rick Owens, keep it simple. And cool it on all the contrived rustic looks—if you need to drag a pair of jeans through a cement mixer to make them look cool, you're wasting precious time. On a side note, if you would like to throw in some color, please, please grab one of those red velvet Adam Kimmel suits (with or without those awesomely creepy masks!).

The eighteen year-old English songstress has released two albums. Fire Within includes singles "Wings", "No Angels", "Light Me Up" and "Words As Weapons". The album includes collaborations with Sia Furler and Ryan Tedder.
Birdy is also part of The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack with three different tracks. She shares musical duties with Ed Sheeran, Lykke Li, M83 and OneRepublic. The soundtrack has thus far peaked at #8 in the North America. The film grossed over 48 million in the US on its first weekend and thus far has grossed four times its budget in North America and an additional doubling worldwide. Watch the music video for "Tee Shirt" attached to this review.
More on the album:
"Skinny Love" is a piano-driven track with a hopeful tone. 'Come on skinny love, please last year' starts the song as she questions herself and her intentions to be happy. The song is sensitive and enhanced by the raw vocals.
"WIngs" the first song written and produced by the OneRepublic frontman, is very much his element. It is reminiscent of "Stop and Stare" and features Ryan's vocals. Lyrically it discusses the power of memories and the strength of longing for something which is no longer. 'Oh, the lights go down. In the moment we're lost and found. I just want to be by your side, if these wings could fly.' (Trivia: OneRepublic recorded "Lost and Found" with Leona Lewis for her 2009 album, Echo.)
"Heart of Gold" is a sweet ode to forgiveness. The base track is soothing, and not very bold. Despite the fact, there are some rhythmic tools which give the calm track loads of personality.
"Light Me Up" was released as the third single earlier this year. The song has a potent base track and a radio-friendly quality. The vibe is made up of the desire to remain close to an individual who inspires change, support and comfort. 'You light me up. When all I see if darkness. You light me up, when I am down.'
"Words As Weapons" is the current, and forth single. This is the second track which involved Tedder in the creative process. This sounds like one of the band's newest tracks, "I Have Lived". The beats are consistently the same. This is not the first time Tedder creates different tracks which sound similarly (in 2009 Beyonce released "Halo" and Kelly Clarkson released "Already Gone" and the two tracks were written with Tedder).
"All You Never Say" is a ballad, which accompanies her vocals with a piano. This softly sung track discusses giving up and hiding behind the fears of being happy or breaking the mold. 'Are you uncertain? Or just scared to drop your guard? Have you been broken? Are you afraid to show your heart?'
"Strange Birds" discusses one's inner voice, or that of an outside source. This faith-ridden track was co-written with Sia Furler, who influences the vocal performance. The song begins softly with a piano, and builds up with the first chorus as it becomes more and more dramatic, in Furler fashion.
"Maybe" is a breezy, upbeat track with hunting guitar-strumming and backing harmonies. The song discusses the desire to be free to love. 'Someone, we'll meet on the hight street. We'll laugh about when we worried about what we might be.'
"No Angels" strips to basics once more. The lyrics talk about the way we hurt each other and the intentions behind our decisions. 'I ain't no angel. I never was. But I never hurt you. It's not my fault.'
"All About You" is the most verbose of the album's lyrical matter. Despite the title reading as a dig to someone who is self-involved, the track actually discusses how we often can see others' struggles easily and that level of awareness, in the form of advice, can help us on a communal level. 'Here I am still holding on; you're finding ways to break the bonds, they're stronger than you realize. And you could say that I've not tried, I've let you down, left you behind but you're the one who's saying goodbye. And you don't have to do this on your own.'
"Standing in The Way of The Light" is a mid-tempo track which compiles instrumentals and vocal acrobatics from around the album to make an interesting sing-along. The inspiring track is about one's responsibility to be and experience life how we desire. We 'stand in the way of' our own light with fears and expectation.
"Shine" and "People Help The People" work as the two empowering ballads at the end of the album. "People" is the second track that is extra on the US version of the album. The first being the first track of the album. This is a cover version of a Cherry Ghost single released in 2007. This is more wordy than "Shine" and discusses the need of coming together as people, for we all share the struggle and the love which keeps us going forward.

Viewers of the "Vanderpump Rules" reunion didn't see everything that was said between the co-stars. Jax Taylor told OK! magazine in a video interview, posted on Monday, Dec. 10, that he pulled his ex Stassi Schroeder aside to give her a supporting and loving message.
"Poor Stassi...she's moved on...for her to come back and to get emotional..and I pulled her aside and said, 'You don't need this. You're in a better place. You're in New York. You're happy. It looks like you're in a great relationship. Don't cry and get upset. Don't let this, don't let me and these people hurt you. You're a better person," he said.
Clearly, Jax has truly gotten over Stassi and doesn't resent her for moving across the country to start a new life. Perhaps he'll even watch Stassi's spin-off show, if she does indeed get one. Ever since Stassi revealed that she has started a new life in New York City with her boyfriend, there has been speculation that she may star in her own spin-off, something that Stassi has said that she's open to doing, without any of her "Vanderpump Rules" co-stars of course.
Do you think Jax Taylor is truly happy for Stassi Schroeder?

I have to debug a big messy C# tool which I didn't write, that parses an Excel file in a specific format (containing exotic data in quantity).
The run of the tool lasts for about 15 minutes and produces an error report (thousands of entries in general). Trouble is that the coder has used exceptions everywhere for his "error reporting", and I need to find a few null pointer exceptions that occur about 2% of the time. I'm not even talking about all the catching, grouping, rethrowing which is bad practice in my understanding, both in terms of consistency and rapidity of execution.
Is there a way to only break on Null Pointer Exceptions in Visual Studio (2008) or at least a trick to filter most exceptions ? Breaking on all exceptions is not an option here.

A few hundred people packed into Pizza Orgasmica and Brewing Company in downtown San Rafael to watch the Tuesday afternoon Brazil vs. Mexico FIFA World Cup match.
Most of the crowd in the Brazilian pizzeria and brewpub watching the host team's first game on Thursday were wearing the yellow and green team shirt of Brazil.
For today's match the jerseys were divided with around 70 percent Brazil colors and 30 percent in the green and white Mexico shirts.
Watching the game were many people of Brazilian heritage plus plenty of Mexican-Americans. One man drove over 60 miles from San Jose after his Brazilian wife said that she wanted to see the game in San Rafael.
David Roualbes of San Rafael came to watch the game with his step-mother who is Mexican. He was supporting Brazil and the USA. He said if the US won the World Cup, "I think it would be great for the country and great for bringing soccer more into the limelight. I think it's the greatest sport."
Eating a pizza and wearing a Mexico jersey was Irene Ruano. While her father is from Mexico, she was rooting for Brazil. She explained both countries are her two top teams.
"Both teams (chances) are pretty high. They're very good teams. Brazil is very physically prepared and so is Mexico. I think it's a 50-50 chance or they could end up tied."
At halftime with the score at 0-0 Saul Deluna from Mexico talked about the chances of his home team winning. "I wish, but I don't think it's going to happen. They've been playing awesome, even if they lose but they keep playing like that, I'm happy."
Among the fans who were all wearing the same color team shirts at many tables were a husband and wife who had different team shirts on.
Supporting his home country by wearing a Brazil team shirt was Richardson Vilefort. When asked if his team would be victorious he said, "we're gonna win baby,"
His wife, Yolanda Vilefort was born in Mexico and was wearing a Mexico team shirt. She was optimistic about the team's chances. "Mexico is going to dominate one hundred percent."
Asked if the couple had made a bet and the loser had to do anything she said, "Yes, but I'm not allowed to say what it is."
After the end of the game the score remained 0 – 0. There weren't any disappointed faces in the pizza place. Richardson Vilefort seemed complacent with the tie. "We did good. The Mexico goalie did a hell of a good job but we did a good job."
His wife Yolanda was pleased with the score. "In my heart, Mexico won, we did an awesome job."

Somi's third album, If The Rains Come First, is a stunning collection of self-penned story-based songs, a meditation on opening ourselves up to life's blessings and challenges much in the way that we accept the rain and all that it brings. If The Rains Come First is set for release on October 27th on Obliqsound. "The songs on this album reflect where I am emotionally and spiritually today," Somi says. "At the end of the day, I still know who I am and where home is before, during, and after the rain – it's in the music."
Optimism, conviction and resilience are hallmarks of Somi's new creations. "Prayer To the Saint of the Brokenhearted," reflects on the sense of helplessness and hopelessness one often feels after heartache, while serving as a reminder of the possibilities of faith and renewal. "Enganjyani," which means 'most beloved' in Rutooro, refers to, "the memory of whispered prayer and being haunted by a past lover." The track features the legendary Hugh Masekela, a longtime Somi fan who has become a mentor, guesting on trumpet. "Rising," a song about faith and navigating life's challenges, is all forward motion, a flawless juxtaposition of sizzling rhythm, instantly memorable melody and a vocal style that JazzTimes magazine describes as "the earthy gutsiness of Nina Simone blended with the vocal beauty of Dianne Reeves."
Digital exclusive of the album to be released October 13.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Acer Aspire 7745G. It is definitely running slower than it should. Here are my machine specifications:
Memory: 15.6 GiB
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz X 8
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB (Although Ubuntu is saying: VESA: Madison)
OS type: 64-bit
Disk: 475.4 GB
I specifically noticed it was running slower when I ran a program I wrote to read and write information in a database. I tested the same program on my Lenovo Think Pad-T61 which also runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the same exact software (python and mysql). My Lenovo thinkpad was running the same program at about 2 to 3 times faster! Here are the specifications of my Lenovo Thinkpad:
Memory: 2.9GiB
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo cpu T8100 2.1GHZ X 2
Graphics: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (though Ubuntu says unknown)
OS type: 64-bit
Disk: 95.3 GB
Clearly, my Acer Aspire should be loads faster than my Lenovo Thinkpad. This makes me wander if my software is interacting optimally with my hardware and if I have the right drivers installed.
- How can I determine if my machine is configured to run optimally?
- For what other reasons would my Acer run slower?
All help is greatly appreciated. If you need more information about my machines let me know!
