- The Cotton Club vs. Capital City
Capital City defeated Locked and Lodied, 56-32. Capital City is comprised of players from a variety of high schools, but mostly Trenton Central Academy and Life Center.

The undead will invade Cleveland, OH on October 21 and 22, 2014 as "Evil Dead – The Musical" (EDTM) takes over the Ohio Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. Based on Sam Raimi's popular "Evil Dead" film franchise, EDTM takes us on a hike into nature where five college students unintentionally unleash a demonic force while on a weekend vacation at a "Cabin in the Woods".
According the press release, "In addition to some dismembered limbs, demons telling bad jokes and catchy tunes ("Look Who's Evil Now", "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons"), the show features a saucy combination of wit and sexual innuendo that keeps audiences laughing out loud."
Recently, EDTM director and co-writer Christopher Bond shared his thoughts with Kate Miller on what the horror hype is all about
Kate Miller: Chris, you've been involved with "Evil Dead - the Musical" (EDTM) since 2002, and have also co-written and directed the stage version of George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead Live" - when did your zombie fascination start? Have you always been into the genre?
Christopher Bond: I was actually a huge wuss growing up. I was scared of everything. Roller coasters, horror movies, bugs, you name it. It was actually "Evil Dead" that got me into the genre. Now I'm a genre junky.
KM: What do you believe is the public's fascination with zombies? With stories that date back to the "Epic of Gilgamesh" and current hit entertainment like "The Walking Dead", how and why do you think the myth has survived so long?
CB: I think people gravitate to Zombies because there is a zombie for everyone. Zombies are flexible. First of all, there is always a threat of a zombie apocalypse. Whether it's caused by toxic waste, or radiation, perhaps a medical experiment gone wrong, or even for supernatural reasons, the zombie form seems be limitless with its possibilities. They can be manic super fast zombies or the sluggish slow stalkers. They can have varying appetites, whether it's flesh or brains or whatever tickles their fancy. Moreover, you or the ones you love can become them. Endless possibilities, endless storyline potential, endless fun. I would say that the best deadites are the ones that sing and dance like ours.
KM: What's your favorite song from EDTM?
CB: "What the F^&* Was That" will always be near and dear to my heart. I think the title really says exactly what we are all thinking the first time we see a demonic vessel of Satan sing and tap dance.
KM: What's your favorite special effect moment from EDTM?
CB: Without giving anything away, I will tell the audience that we have a special area called the Splatter Zone and that section of the audience will get covered in... well, let's just say it's a pretty interactive area. We have a huge showdown at the end of the show that is spectacular and involves the world famous Splatter Zone. But rest assured, there are plenty of non-splatter seats available for fans who would rather witness the mayhem instead of being in the thick of it.
KM: Can you give us a scoop on how your blood is made?
CB: Nope. But I will give you these clues. It's not real. It's edible and it doesn't stain your clothes.
KM: Including cast, musicians, tech, management, etc., how many people are on your tour?
CB: We have a cast of 9 and about 6 technicians travelling with the show to make all the magic on stage.
KM: How long does it take the cast to make their zombie transformations?
CB: Audiences will have to come and witness the transformations themselves. EDTM is the most awesome 2 hours of hilarious musical magic you will ever see in any theater. Although the title is misleading, this show promises to leave you in stitches... from the jokes... not the chainsaw.
KM: And if you needed to defend yourself against a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice and why?
CB: An array of catchy songs and plenty of bad zombie puns.
"Evil Dead – The Musical" plays the Ohio Theatre at PlayhouseSquare October 21 and 22, 2014. Tickets can be purchased by calling 216-241-6000 or visiting www.playhousesquare.com. Interested in the Splatter Zone? Rows A-D will get drenched with fake blood from the onstage chaos. You can also choose to sit in "dry" seating and admire the pandemonium on stage, not on your clothes.
This isn't the first time that EDTM has been to the area. For a look back at a promo story for the 2009 run of EDMT at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, click here!
AND if you can't get enough zombies, there's talk of Sam Raimi creating an "Evil Dead" TV series. See Related Video off to the left, between the Evil Dead Related Photo links.

Unrevealed: Non-Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest In Four Leading Medical and Scientific Journals
Conference on Integrity in Science: Corporate and Political Influence On Science-based Policymaking
Theo Colborn Honored with Rachel Carson Award for Integrity in Science

Several leading medical and science journals fail to enforce their own policies for disclosing financial conflicts of interest among contributing authors, according to a study released today by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The study examined 163 articles in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP), and Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (TAP). It identified at least 13 articles where authors did not disclose relevant conflicts of interest that should have been disclosed according to the journals' policies. CSPI found another 11 articles where there were undisclosed conflicts of interest that might not have directly related to the subject at hand, but should have been disclosed nevertheless.
Some of the unpublished conflicts of interest include:
"Published research that fails to disclose authors' ties to drug companies threatens the credibility of scientific journals and rightly undermines public confidence in studies about the safety or efficacy of various drugs or chemicals," said Merrill Goozner, director of the Integrity in Science Project at CSPI and the author of the study.
Nondisclosure of financial conflicts of interest was a problem at all four journals, but JAMA had the highest rate of nondisclosure of conflicts at 11.3 percent (six out of 53 articles). The undisclosed conflicts in JAMA ranged from consulting fees from companies immediately involved in the subject of the study to authors holding patents on technologies that may one day prove valuable because of information contained in the study. EHP had a nondisclosure rate of 8.6 percent (three of 35 articles), TAP had a nondisclosure rate of 6.1 percent (two of 33 articles), and NEJM had the lowest rate of nondisclosure at 4.8 percent (two of 42 studies examined). CSPI typically researched only the first and last of the authors cited for each article, and only when no disclosure statement was published for either author, so there are likely to be undisclosed conflicts among the other authors not researched.
CSPI recommends that journal editors require authors to disclose any financial arrangements they have had with private firms within the past three years, regardless of whether those arrangements relate to the subject of the article, and that the conflicts be published if they are in any way related to the article's subject. CSPI also says that authors should be required to disclose any patent applications, or intentions to apply for any patents. To encourage authors to comply with journals' policies, CSPI also recommends that editors adopt strong sanctions for failing to disclose conflicts of interest, such as a three-year ban on publication imposed on authors who fail to make complete disclosures.
"Some of the blame for the failure to disclose these conflicts rests with the individual scientists, who clearly feel comfortable withholding fairly glaring conflicts," Goozner said. "But much of the blame must rest with the journal editors themselves, who, for the most part, have created disclosure policies that too narrowly define what conflicts are relevant."

I've been trying to find a good way to gather various pieces of a windows cluster setup remotely, preferably via WMI, as we are not yet at a point where Powershell remoting is implemented (and I know this problem goes away with that).
I know I can use the following to get the current node:
Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName RemoteServer1 | Select Name
I also need the name property of Get-Cluster, which I can't figure out how to get from a remote system.
Is there something out there, or should I wait it out until Remoting gets implemented?
I'm a newbie to all things clustering, just a dba looking to inventory our servers properly. Thanks for any help!

Holiday Food Safety Tips
Part of the excitement of the holidays are the traditional foods of the season. However, some of these foods can pose hazards that can ruin more than just a holiday meal—they can cause serious illness and even death. Here are some tips on how to enjoy these foods safely.
Have a plan: Preparing a turkey takes a bit of planning, especially during the hectic holiday season. Before buying your turkey, make room in your refrigerator and find a plate or platter big enough to put the uncooked turkey on so any leaking juices won't contaminate other foods in the refrigerator. At the store, buy the turkey last, put it in a separate plastic bag to avoid contaminating other foods, and refrigerate it immediately when you get home. If serving your turkey to the elderly, children, or those with weakened immune systems, purchase a frozen turkey to reduce the chances that your turkey will carry potentially harmful bacteria. If you are combining food shopping with other holiday shopping, make the grocery store the last stop so food will not be left in the car while you are searching for the perfect gifts.
Defrosting: When using a frozen turkey, the safest way to defrost it is in the refrigerator, but keep in mind you need to allow 24 hours of defrosting for every 5 pounds of turkey. For Thanksgiving, that means a 20 pound frozen turkey needs to start defrosting on Sunday. Don't defrost the turkey on the counter. Turkeys wrapped in leak-proof plastic can be defrosted in cold water, but the water should be changed every 30 minutes and allow 30 minutes of defrosting per pound of turkey. A microwave is too small for most turkeys, but if using one, cook the turkey as soon as it is thawed (but after removing any plastic wrapping). Buy your fresh turkey only one to two days before you plan to cook it. Don't forget to remove the neck and giblets from the turkey.
Start out clean: Before preparing the turkey, clear and thoroughly clean the counter, as well as the cooking equipment that you might not have used since preparing last year's turkey. Clean everything, including sponges and hands, that comes in contact with the raw turkey or its juice immediately with hot, soapy water. Sanitize sponges by running them through your dishwasher or boiling them on the stove.
Cooking: When cooking a turkey, use a meat thermometer. Even if the turkey has a "pop-up" thermometer, it's a good idea to check the temperature with a conventional meat thermometer, such as an oven-safe, dial instant-read, or digital thermometer. If you don't have one, pick one up at the grocery store as you're searching for the holiday items. Set the oven no lower than 325°F and cook the turkey to 165°F, taking the reading in the thick part of the thigh. Here are approximate cooking times for turkey, but use a meat thermometer to be certain that your turkey is done:
Serving the buffet: Your efforts have paid off. The turkey is beautiful and your guests are duly impressed. To keep the food safe, make sure it isn't left out for longer than two hours. If you're having a buffet, don't serve all the food at once. Keep the second and third servings either above 140°F in the oven or below 40°F in the refrigerator. Whenever possible, put additional food out on clean platters instead of adding it to the platters already on the table.
Take-out food: More and more busy people are opting for pre-cooked holiday meals. Be sure to keep the turkey and other hot foods at 140°F or above if you will be eating them within two hours of picking them up. Other cold foods such as salads should be kept in the refrigerator below 40°F until you are ready to eat them. If you will be eating dinner more than two hours later, you should dismantle your feast, refrigerate, and reheat it in the same manner as with leftovers.
Safety for Sides
Stuffing: For many people stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving. But it is warm and moist a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. Stuffing can be contaminated by bacteria from eggs and shellfish in the stuffing or the turkey itself. If preparing the stuffing ahead of time, wet and dry ingredients should be refrigerated separately and mixed just before cooking. The safest way to cook stuffing is on the stove or in the oven, but separate from the turkey. If cooking the stuffing inside the bird, loosely stuff the turkey just before you stick it in the oven with 3/4 cup stuffing per pound of turkey. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches 165°F. A "pop-up" thermometer that comes with a turkey won't tell you the temperature of the stuffing. Avoid pre-stuffed fresh turkeys.
Cider: Unpasteurized apple cider is another holiday food that may contain harmful bacteria. Check the label to see if the cider is unpasteurized. If serving cider to the elderly or young or those with weakened immune systems, buy pasteurized apple cider. If you want to buy unpasteurized cider or are unsure if the cider is pasteurized, mull the cider by heating it to 160°F or boiling it if you don't have a thermometer. Serve it warm or cold.
Eggnog: If homemade, this creamy treat could be contaminated with bacteria sometimes found in raw eggs. To be sure the eggnog is safe, use pasteurized egg products or buy ready-made eggnog, which is pasteurized. If you want to make eggnog with whole eggs safely, gradually heat the egg-milk mixture to 160°F or until it coats a metal spoon.
Time and temperature: Although you might not feel like doing much after a big meal, it is very important that you refrigerate or freeze leftovers within two hours of cooking the food. Bacteria multiply fastest at warm temperatures in the range between 40°F and 140°F. Therefore, leaving cooked food at room temperature is an invitation for bacteria like Clostridium perfringens and Staphylococcus aureus to grow in your food. If cooked food has been left out for more than two hours, throw it away. Reheating will not destroy the toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus nor the spores of Clostridium perfringens.
Dismantling the feast: Food should be chilled as quickly as possible in the refrigerator. Divide the turkey into smaller pieces and store the turkey separately from the stuffing and gravy. To drop the temperature fast, store leftovers at a shallow depth about 2 inches. Shallow containers allow food to cool more evenly and quickly in the refrigerator or freezer. This is also useful for later eating in less than feast-sized portions.
Using leftovers later: Use leftovers within 4 days, except stuffing and gravy which should be used within 2 days. If that is an impossible feat, freeze the leftovers in shallow containers. If reheating leftovers, heat them to 165°F and boil soups, sauces, and gravies.

vim -w or -W records K_SPECIAL sequence from xterm version string in script
Josh Triplett <josh <at> joshtriplett.org>
vim -w or -W records all the keystrokes entered in Vim. If running on an xterm or another terminal that supports requesting the terminal version, vim will do so, and process the resulting version response to set a few options. In the process of doing so, it ends up recording three extra bytes at the beginning of the script file: /tmp$ vim -u /dev/null -N -W foo /tmp$ hd foo 00000000 80 fd 35 5a 5a |..5ZZ| 00000005 This affected quite a few people playing on vimgolf.com. After some adventures through vim's source, I think I've tracked down exactly what happens to cause the problem: - Vim asks the terminal for its version string when it starts, in the may_req_termresponse function, by sending the kPRV string from the terminfo record, and then calling vpeekc_nomap. - That reads the response from stdin into typebuf, and eventually ends up in check_termcode, which handles terminal escape sequences. - check_termcode finds the version response, and if it manages to extract an xterm version number, it sets various features based on that version number. - check_termcode then translates the escape sequence into the key_name array as KS_EXTRA and KE_IGNORE, which match the second and third bytes of the escape sequence.(Continue reading)

People in the SW at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
More than 5 million people in the West Country are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning because they do not have an alarm in their home.
The new research is part of a campaign to spread the awareness of the importance of carbon monoxide detectors.
Four in hospital after carbon monoxide poisoning in Wellington
Four people from Wellington in Somerset have been taken to hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning after a gas leak at their home.
Fire crews were called out on saturday evening after reports of a carbon monoxide alarm going off.
Ambulance crews treated the four at the scene before taking them to hospital.
Crews found extremely high levels of carbon monoxide inside the house. The Gas board has made the property safe.
Guest house death: from our Cornwall correspondent
Neighbours have tonight paid tribute to a Cornish guest house owner who is believed to have died from poisonous gas fumes. Gill Adams and her three dogs were found dead on the ground floor of the house in St Ives.
She's been described as a loveable lady, who was at the heart of the community. The fire service is urging householders to fit alarms which can detect deadly gases. Our Cornwall correspondent Steve Hardy reports.
VIDEO: Fire service still investigating cause of B&B death
Neighbours pay tribute to woman 'killed by carbon monoxide'
Gill Adams died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at her bed and breakfast on Bedford Road in St Ives yesterday. Her three dogs were also found dead in the house. Neighbours have issued this statement.
Fire service: there could have been more carbon monoxide deaths
A woman and three dogs have been killed after apparently being poisoned by carbon monoxide at a bed and breakfast she ran in St Ives. The fire service says Jill Adams' husband was away at the time and there were no guests at the property, otherwise there would have been even more casualties.
Woman and three dogs 'die from carbon monoxide'
It is believed the woman who died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in St Ives was Jill Adams, who was in her 60s. Mrs Adams' body and those of her three dogs were found on the ground floor of the bed and breakfast she ran in Bedford Road.
Experts are examining a number of gas appliances in the property.
Father who almost died backs BBQ safety campaign
A father who nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning on a camping holiday in Cornwall is backing a barbecue safety campaign.
Dave Smith from Birmingham was left unconsious after bringing a barbecue into his family's tent in Padstow last year. He was only saved by his children who managed to raise the alarm. Kathy Wardle reports.
- ITV Report
Safety warning issued for campers
Carbon monoxide poisoning warning for campers
Gas safety body, Gas Safe Register, is warning against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning when camping. A study shows that one in five people didn't know that using a gas barbeque inside a tent can lead to the illness.
Around a quarter of those holidaying in the UK this summer will be camping or caravanning.

Dallas Cowboys rumors have the team looking at quarterback Brandon Weeden. These Dallas Cowboys rumors come from Friday (March 14), with Weeden potentially becoming a good fit as the backup to Tony Romo. According to a report from CBS Sports, the team has already expressed interest to the veteran quarterback and his agent.
Brandon Browner Signs With Patriots
The Cleveland Browns selected him in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft, but ended up displeased with how he performed over the last two seasons. He was recently released as the franchise looks toward the upcoming 2014 NFL Draft to find a replacement. They have been linked to players like Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater, but could also end up nabbing one of the current free agents as a stop-gap option.
What might make these new Dallas Cowboys rumors particularly interesting to fans of the team is that Kyle Orton is still on the active roster. It's possible that the front office simply wants to carry a third quarterback, but it could also could mean that Orton's time with the team is coming to an end. There has also been a rumor that he was ready to retire from playing football, so that could be why a search for a replacement is ongoing.
It would seem like the end of Brandon Weeden's time as a starting quarterback if he does agree to a new deal with the team, but that may have already been predicted when one of the worst teams in the league released him. For what it's worth, he played in eight games last season, passing for 1,731 yards, nine touchdowns, and nine interceptions.

Revenge: Masquerade/
This week on PHANTOM OF THE HAMPTONS: Every week is a masquerade for Emily Thorne, but this week, it's on for reals. Victoria is positively thrilled she's able to throw their annual Halloween ball again, now that Daniel's pesky murder charge isn't in the way of a good party. Padma's been MIA for six weeks (and dead for less than a day) and it looks like Nolan hasn't showered in that time. And Secret Victoria Lovechild? Well, Victoria says he was never born, but even Conrad doesn't buy it after she dramatically collapses after seeing a masked man at the party with a black rose on his lapel, who appears/disappears all Phantom-like.
Emily's Target
Victoria. That's what you get for not inviting Ems to a party.
Gala of the Week
Masquerade! (Anyone else want to burst into some Phantom of the Opera?) This is the best looking Halloween party ever — not one slutty cat in sight (Ash's kitty mask was downright classy with her 60s inspired 'do).
Best Dressed
Victoria's beaded gown was divine, but it's Emily's white hot structural bodice that gets our vote.
Most Soapy Moment
Was it ominously cutting off a black rose before sending the bouquet over with a note written in red Sharpie? Or was it giving the baby to the nuns back in the 70s with a promise they'll never, ever tell you about the baby? It's so hard to decide!
Over-the-Shoulder Hugs: 2
But both totally sincere. One as Ems comforts Nolan (Sorry Nolan, I'm not nearly as sad that Padma's dead). And another as Declan tries to calm Charlotte down after she decks someone for talking smack about Amanda (it's almost like they really are related).
Check out Wetpaint Entertainment's recap for all of the masked dramz, and come back here on Wednesday when Anthony recaps the fall fashions of the Hamptons.

Management Accountability Framework
The Management Accountability Framework (MAF) is a framework for management excellence, accompanied by an annual assessment of management practices and performance in most departments and agencies of the Government of Canada.
The MAF is a key tool of oversight that is used by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) to help ensure that federal departments and agencies are well managed, accountable and that resources are allocated to achieve results.
The Management Accountability Framework establishes the expectations for sound public sector management practices and performance. The MAF supports the management accountability of organizational deputy heads and improves management practices across government departments and agencies.
The objectives of the MAF are:
- To obtain an organizational and government-wide view of the state of management practices and performance;
- To inform Deputy Ministers and Heads of Agencies about their organizations' management capacity;
- To inform the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat about the state of policy implementation and practices;
- To identify areas of management strength and any areas that require attention;
- To communicate and track progress on government-wide management priorities; and,
- To continuously improve management capabilities, effectiveness and efficiency government-wide.
MAF is a framework for a well-managed organization. It sets out the conditions that are required to achieve strong organizational performance.
In order to achieve management excellence, each element of the framework needs to have been considered and put into place.

I figured I'd start with the issue of
prevention, and maybe put the definitions of some terms up here - this
is public health 101. Primary prevention is no new infections.
That's the thing that we all strive for, and is the most
important. But remember that, as I showed you before,
we still have a number of people in the United States that are
chronically infected, and so we've got to deal with people who have
already acquired an infection. And that starts dealing with the issue of
secondary prevention - and what do I mean by that? Well, that is the person, and I will use
hepatitis B as an example, who is chronically infected, and you want
to prevent him from transmitting it to others. The easiest way with that disease is that
you are vaccinating the people in their household and their sexual or
close contacts. So that is secondary prevention - with
hepatitis C it is making sure that you are not transmitting to others,
which is a hard task, but something we need to be thinking
about. And lastly, is tertiary prevention, and that
is really medical evaluation and appropriate treatment, which may take
on the form of anti-virals, or may take on the form of liver wellness,
making sure that we don't further injure an already somewhat
compromised liver. So that is how I use prevention, and this
theme that you are going to see through the rest of my presentation,
is that this is what we ought to be thinking about.

Acer F1 may come in September powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon CPU
Acer F1, one of the smartphones said to come with Windows Mobile 6.5 on board, will apparently be launched in September 2009.
What's more interesting is that, according to AllAboutPhones.nl, which participated at an Acer press event held in the Netherlands, the F1 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor – like Toshiba's ultra-thin TG01.
However, unlike TG01's CPU, Acer F1's processor will only run at 800MHz, not at 1000MHz. The new smartphone will also have ATI graphics and an Acer Suite 2.0 UI, which, apparently, is similar to HTC's TouchFlo 3D interface.
(this above is an Acer F1 prototype)
The retail price of Acer F1 is said to be of €560 (about $758). Kind of expensive, isn't it?

But, sometimes after gorging ourselves filling our tummies with good food at Thanksgiving, we just don't have room for a piece of our favorite pie.
Here's a great alternate ending to Thanksgiving Dinner…pumpkin pie latte. All of the flavors you love, but not quite so filling. Or if you do have a little extra room in there, why not have a cup WITH your favorite piece of pie. Either way, you'll love this tummy warming fall beverage!
Here's the easy recipe to make your own Pumpkin Pie Lattes
You might want to give these a test run, like I did, before sharing them with your Thanksgiving dinner guests. That way you can make SURE they are every bit as good as they look..grin! I can promise you they are!

Toning your stomach does not always require hours of training in the gym. You can give your abdominals a workout in multiple quick sets throughout the day. This can be even more effective than going to the gym three days a week for a hour, specifically because of the frequency, randomness and shock value.
When you go to the gym, believe it or not your muscles are being prep by your brain to get ready for war. However, if you randomly pick five times a day to work your stomach out this catches the muscles off guard and increases engagement and response.
Here are two stomach exercises you can randomly do anywhere throughout the day. As you get used to the exercise, challenge yourself by increasing the number of repetition.
1. Planks:
- Start off with the push-up position then the ease down onto your elbows. Now curl your toes under and engage your abs by tilting your pelvis and pulling your belly button toward your spine. Straighten your body but keep your neck and spine neutral. Hold this position for 25 seconds minimum and 2 sets.
2. Air Bike:
-Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. Now place your hands behind your head. Make sure to stay relax and not strain with the neck as you perform. Now lift your shoulders into the crunch position as you bring your knees up to where they are perpendicular to the floor, with your lower legs parallel to the floor. This is the starting point. Now simultaneously, slowly go through a cycle pedal motion kicking forward with the left leg and bringing in the knee of the right leg. Bring your right elbow close to your left knee by crunching to the side, as you breathe out. Repeat this motion on each side for a minimum of 30 repetitions and 2 sets.

This is part five of How to Use Narrative Art to Teach Elements of a Story. Part one discussed setting, and part two discussed conflict, part three discussed point of view, and part four discussed plot. This part discusses characters.
Analyzing narrative art teaches students how to observe and think critically about the world around them.
Narrative art is art that tells a story- it may be a particular moment, or a series of events over time. Powerful images can be analyzed for their storytelling qualities. By analyzing how artists approach issues like setting, theme, and point of view, we can help kids be critical of their own writing.
Narrative Art is particularly useful in teaching about character. Students must look carefully at all of the details and interpret them in context to understand who the characters are and what they want. By using art to understand characters, students must make inferences from the image, and look at it from different perspectives.
In part one of this series, we looked at how the narrative art of Thomas Hart Benton helped us to understand setting, and in part two we looked at how Winslow Homer's images can teach about conflict. Today we will look at Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and analyze how it can help students understand characters in a story.
Let's see how elements of narrative art can be used to teach elements of a story.
Story Element= Character
Think about TV shows you watch regularly- for me it's Downton Abby, Mad Men and Walking Dead (I have an eclectic taste). Why do we obsess over these stories? Because we get emotionally involved and care about the characters. What they look like, how they feel and what motivates their actions are all integral parts of a story. By analyzing Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, students can have conversations about who the characters are and create "back stories". By looking at and discussing the painting, students have a basis to create a character driven story based on the image.
To understand the painting, it is important to know a little about Hopper's work. Hopper often painted people who were emotionally isolated, even in the middle of a city. Themes of inside/outside, loneliness and personal relationships, particularly in cities, were explored in his paintings. Chair Car is typical of his work.
Nighthawks (oil on canvas) was painted in 1942 and depicts people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is Hopper's most famous work, and in general is recognized by millions as it has been reproduced on posters, T-shirt and has even been the object of satire.
Let's look at Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and write a story based on the inferences we make. Use the questions below to help guide your writing.
In Nighthawks Hopper is particularly adept at recreating fluorescent light shining at night. The figures are small, and the street is dark, quiet and empty. What makes this a little different than his other work is that three of the figures are looking at each other. Often in his work the people are in close proximity, but seemingly 'in their own world'. A few years ago I saw a show with the sketches for this painting at the MOMA- it gave great insight to his thinking. I loved it. You can see them here at the Whitney.
Use these questions to guide the conversation about Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. Don't be afraid of unusual answers- you will probably get them. Let your students make their own discoveries but remember, it is very important that they explain their answers. Of course, based on the age level, modify the questions accordingly.
- What is one descriptive word you can use to describe the mood of the scene?
- Who are these people? What does each one do for a profession?
- What time of day is it?
- Where is everyone outside of the diner?
- Looking at his body language, what is the man on the left thinking? How do you know?
- What are they talking about? Is there anyone not participating in the conversation? Why?
- Did any of these people know each other before this evening?
- Why did Hopper choose to not put a door to the diner in the picture?
- What was going on in the world in 1942 when this was painted?
- What city does this take place in?
- What do people usually do at diners? What purpose do they serve in a community?
- Does this remind you of any place you have been?
There is a great video analysis of this painting at the Khan Academy. If you want to see the real thing, you'll have to go to the Art Institute of Chicago (I've gone- it's worth it.)
If you'd like to see some of Hopper's sketches in a 'before and after' look, check out my sketchbook video post here.
Analyzing visual art is a wonderful way to get students to think critically. Find my detailed illustrations as writing prompts here, as well as sign up for free story starter videos! Have fun writing your story and let me know how it goes in the comments section below.

Charles Barkley will defer or donate TNT salary during NBA lockout
Charles Barkley is doing more than just talking about the NBA lockout. He's giving up paychecks.
According to ESPNChicago.com, Barkley said he feels uncomfortable taking a paycheck during the NBA lockout and plans to defer or donate his TNT salary while the NBA lockout continues.
"I haven't told anybody, but I'm actually — believe it or not — I'm leaning toward donating it to charity," Barkley said. "I don't think it's cool for me to take money I haven't earned.
"My decision is either going to be defer it or give it to charity."
Barkley also called David Stern the "best commissioner in sports" during the interview and supported his philosophy of protecting small market NBA teams.
"If you notice, he mentioned every small-market team. The NBA owners are going to protect these small-market teams. They don't like the fact all the stars want to play in big cities. And this whole thing is going to be about: We're not going to be like baseball, where you have 20 bad franchises that are really like a minor league system until the players get good enough and then they go to the Yankees or Red Sox."
Agree or disagree with Charles Barkley, you have to respect that he's willing to stand for something – and put his money where his mouth is.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton isn't saying a word about the status of benched left tackle Charles Brown and beleaguered kicker Garrett Hartley.
That is understandable. He has several factors weighing in that equation.
Saints fans, however, do not and are free to unburden themselves with respect to their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
Here's a bit of what they have to say.
Agree with you Diehard67. Hartley has the third worst kicking average in the entire league, he's 30th of 32 kickers, with a kicking average almost below 70%. Just about any unemployed kicker could get that. It would be different if he were missing long field goals, but he is missing just as many short chip shots. His production doesn't even come close to justifying his salary cap figure. I don't even have confidence that he converts the extra points after touchdowns, cause I always hold my breath for those. He needs to kicked off this team. NOW, rather than later.
Here is a tip. Stop trying to run slow footed RB on a sweep and let's not make the screens so predictable. And since opposing defense have figure out the WR patterns, we need to start getting some comeback routes into the game plan. Its touchdown or checkdown -- go back and pick up that notepad Payton had during his year off.
Payton does not need to overreact and start panicking...just take a deep breadth and get the guys ready for Carolina.
Time to bring in 'Kickalicious!' HÃ¥vard Rugland worked out with the Lions two weeks ago, but it still unsigned. Grab him!
Unfortunately, in the Saints history, I have seen this same thing happening over and over. To date the Saints have played 728 games in their history. Some of those are historic in terms of "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." I have seen almost all of the 728 games and this past game against the Rams certainly makes the top 25 for all time defeats. You might say that it should be top ten or even higher, but to be honest, the Saints have been involved some pretty historic debacles. The all time top three are the last three games of 2002. In that year the Saints sat at 9-4 with three games to play, all against teams with losing records, including a Cincinnati Bengals team that had only won 1 game. The Saints managed to lose all three and not only did not get a first round bye that they had in the bag at 9-4, but they did not even make the playoffs. We are in danger of not making the playoffs if we lose the last two games. Scoff if you want, but it has happened to us before.
Click. Click. Click. The sound of TVs changing channels from FOX8 at halftime on Sunday. Shameful coaching failure.
I didn't even make it to the end of the first quarter before clicking it off. I missed the kickoff because I had to walk the dog. By the time I sat down, we were already down 14. I couldn't believe it.

What are the Health Risks of Too Much vitamin D?
Vitamin D toxicity can cause nausea, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, confusion, and weight loss. Sun exposure does not result in vitamin D toxicity. Vitamin D toxicity is only a possibility from high intakes of vitamin D from supplements. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has set the recommended upper intake level to 50g (2,000 IU) for children, adults, and pregnant and lactating women. Vitamin D is one of those vitamins where the right amount is essential—not too much and not too little.

It is worth taking a short 5 minute cab ride to Blue Hill Tavern in Brewers Hill. American fare, great variety, fun part of Baltimore. You will know you are there when you look up to see Mr Boh at the old Natty Boh Brewery.

David Williams and Richie Farmer offer Republicans bold conservative leadership and an opportunity to change Frankfort from a liberal taxing administration to one of fiscal conservatism. Senator Williams, as our governor, will also turn back efforts to raise taxes on small business. He knows many small businesses are struggling and that raising taxes would sound a death knell. Williams and Farmer will stand for business friendly policies.
May is National Foster Care Month, a time to shine the light on the foster care experience. Let's start with some figures:
- More than 6,800 Kentucky children and youth are in out-of-home
care, with 75 to 80 percent of those in foster care. Most are placed in temporary foster care due to parental neglect or abuse.
- The average age of a child in care: 10.7 years.
Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for the generous support for The Caring Place shown by the communities of Lebanon, Springfield, and Bardstown. Your generous donations of money and gift certificates, volunteer support, and participation in the first annual Stick Horse-Egg and Spoon Derby was fantastic.

Putting together a newspaper is often like trying to figure out how to fit round pegs into square holes. Other times, it's like trying to fit octagon-shaped pegs into trapezoid-shaped holes.
And then there are the rare occasions when it's like trying to fit pentagon-, rhombus- and octagon-shaped pegs into two different triangular-shaped holes.
This past week was one of those rare occasions.
"I'm still kicking ... It will get better as time goes by, but we won't ever forget it." - Hilda Perkins, flood victim

After reading the article, "Tourism changes in the works," which appeared in The Lebanon Enterprise on Wed., April 27, I feel compelled to respond with concerns I and many others I know have about what is happening politically with the Lebanon Tourist & Convention Commission (tourism).
Webster needs to add a new word to next year's dictionary.
I've always heard that the arrival of a newborn brings sleep deprivation to a household.
Folks, sleep deprivation doesn't touch the state of mind I'm in.
In my farewell column in the Enterprise, I announced that my wife and I would soon be drafting a rookie.
After nine months of being extra nice to my wife (sorry honey, that was a limited warranty), the rookie has arrived.
Marion County citizens have waited for too long for enhanced 911, and it still may be years before E911 is in place.
But last week, we took one small step closer to the finish line.
On April 19, county and city officials met with representatives of MapSync and the Lincoln Trail Area Development District. MapSync and LTADD have been hired by the city and the county to complete the mapping and addressing that is necessary for the county to be eligible for E911.

There was a time in years gone by if a teacher had told students to "oink" at a classmate in hopes of shaming him into cleaning up his messy desk, nothing would have been said about it. It may even have been funny, and may have accomplished what the teacher hoped.
It's been more than 10 years, but I can still see her face.

This year, the United States will mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. While we as a nation will commemorate this event, I hesitate to call it a celebration considering more Americans were killed in that conflict than in both World Wars combined.
Childhood is supposed to be an age of innocence, but for too many in the Commonwealth it's a time of suffering. In 2009, a report revealed that Kentucky led the nation in the number of children who die as a result of abuse and neglect. Statistics show that every minute in Kentucky, two children are victims of abuse that can leave emotional and physical scars that last a lifetime.
As Circuit Clerk of Marion County, I have seen Marion County residents support the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks' Organ Donor Awareness Program. April is National Donate Life Month, and it is a reminder that organ donation truly is the gift of life to a recipient in need. Every day 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant. The medical miracles that are modern transplants would not be possible without the gift of organ donation.

I haven't done my taxes yet.
It's April 10 and time is ticking down. But I'm not in panic mode yet. I still have a week and a day — that's a lifetime. Since April 15 is on a Friday this year, the tax deadline has been extended until April 18. I'm not sure the reason behind the extension but I'll take it.
Imagine getting up earlier on a beautiful day and going somewhere where everyone is excited and in a great mood. The atmosphere is uplifting, knowing you are about to do something fun that is also wonderful for your health. The sense of accomplishment that you will feel at the end is amazing! And anyone can do it!
"A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece." - Ludwig Erhard
Monday night the Lebanon City Council and the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission made a compromise that, for now, has postponed the council's decision to eliminate the city's restaurant tax.

First of, I have to correct you about the Greeks. Only pure greek citizens were allowed to vote. If you lived in ancient greece and weren't greek, you didn't get to vote. You also have to understand that there was a lot less people in that time so much less votes to count and it was basically easier.
Democracy isn't dying. Democracy is...evolving. For the better or for the worse, that we'll see. Pure democracy is impossible to achieve.
Here in Canada, we have the same type of representative government as in the UK.
I kinda know what you mean when you're talking about our representatives not doing exactly what we would want them to do but when you voted for him and got him elected, you've given him/her your voice among your peers. He is supposed to represent you.
Of course, unless you're strangely lucky, your views on every subject won't be the same as him/her's.
The government disagreeing with the people is common in every democracy.
This bring us on the people voting for the laws themselves. How is this supposed to be done? It's totally impossible. People don't have the time to go vote for laws all the time. People will simply not care about it and let the crazy extremists vote for their laws.
Now saying that because the US went to war for "freedom" and "democracy" kills democracy is false. It destroys diplomacy but not democracy.
Believe me you don't want to live in a totalitarian country. Democracy is way better. Unless you're asian...(bad sarcasm, I'm asian myself don,t call me a racist).
