I am curious yellow about this: how many of our local politicians still believe that Global Warming is not occurring? Any and all answers appreciated. Larry Sirhall
Admittedly it has been a few years since I've looked at the U.S. Supreme Court Decisions in this area. I do remember a case involving the City of Los Angeles where the Supreme Court held it unconstitutional to enact statutes outlawing status crime. In other words, it was held unconstitutional where the statute's true purpose and intent was to punish individuals for being a vagrant; i.e. a homeless individual. I would like to hear from those smarter than me their thoughts as to whether or not the Boise City Code at issue falls into this category. Larry Sirhall
Idiots!! Drug test them with a hair follicle test. Me thinks they're druggies and not good. Words cannot express my outrage. Larry Sirhall
Idaho has aggressively moved to the bottom of every meaningful category. Being a lifetime resident, I am tired of this. Our children deserve better. And I don't care what Party you belong to. We all want what is best for our children. Period. Part of the problem is the influx of retired people who do not want to pay for anything, contribute to our welfare and only want a nice life, serviced by minimum wage workers and no taxes. Me to them: hit the road Jack....Larry
Rather, than pandering to the Far Right, our Congressmen need to build relationships to protect Idaho water. California, especially the Central Valley, want and will take, if Messrs. Labrador and Simpson are asleep at the switch, most of our agriculture water. They are already arguing that the Central Valley produces far more products, in value, than Idaho farmers. I do not care who belongs to what Party. We need to mature, band together and protect our water. Period. Larry Sirhall
I think we need to dig deeper, much deeper. We should know who the seller was, not corporate shield and such, the actual individuals. And then we need to know who are the realtor(s) receiving the commissions. This is way too much money. I do not believe an honest mistake; if it was, then fire them all for such gross negligence. I think someone(s) received this money for less than honorable reasons. We really do need to know. Larry Sirhall
Given all that has gone on, I think the public is entitled to more information. This does not even pass the smell test. Those grossly excessive funds could have been better spent in the classroom. Something is most definitely wrong with this deal. Larry Sirhall

Quota Bill: UP govt employees on flash strike
Zeenews Bureau
Lucknow: About 18 lakh employees and officers of UP government, who went on a flash strike yesterday, will on Friday boycott work in protest against attempts to get the SC/ST quota bill passed in Rajya Sabha.
The UP government employees' stir will continue on Friday.
According to president of the Sarvjan Hitai Sanrakshan Samiti, Shailendra Dubey, about 18-lakh-strong workforce of the state government, barring essential services like hospitals, power and transport, who boycotted work on Thursday evening, would continue indefinitely.
A demonstration against the move would be held in front of the Assembly as also at the district headquarters today.
A rally of government employees was also taken out in the state capital on Thursday to register opposition to the move and a `virodh sabha` (protest assembly) was later held at the General Post Office (GPO).
The employees affiliated to various worker unions, teachers and other departments are taking part in the protest.
Samajwadi Party MPs on Thursday staged a walkout from Rajya Sabha following a directive from the Chair to two of its members to leave the House for causing disruption over the quota bill.
However, SP, which is in power in UP, has made it clear that it will continue to support UPA government notwithstanding strong action taken against its members in Rajya Sabha when they were protesting against consideration of the bill.

Is the kit lens really that bad?
Jul 5, 2014
Before I jump and upgrade my nex 3n, I'm tempted to try another lens other than the kit lens it came with (16-50) esp after reading post after post (as well as reviews) about it not being that great. I actually enjoy the camera and think the images range from ok to very nice but am curious.
I only have 500 max to spend. The 50's I have tried seem good but it's a bit long for a fixed lens. However, my first concern is sharpness so I'd consider it. I haven't heard good things about the 16 at all.
Any recommendations? Is there really that much of a jump in image quality when you move away from the kit lens?
This question has not been answered yet.

Buchanan to speak at Chamber of Commerce meeting
Published: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at 6:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
Former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan will discuss politics and the economy at the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce's 2004 annual meeting at the Spartanburg Marriott at Renaissance Park on Feb. 10.
What: The Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce 2004 Annual Meeting
Speaker: Former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan
When: 6 p.m., Feb. 10
Where: Spartanburg Marriott at Renaissance Park
How much: $65 per person, $500 for tables of eight, $600 tables of 10
Buchanan, a senior adviser to presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, has written six books, including the New York Times bestseller "A Republic, Not an Empire."
He has been a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," and host of Mutual Radio's "Buchanan & Co."
"This has been a wildly successful year at the chamber, and we wanted a dynamic speaker to cap off the year," said Richard Dillard, the chamber's 2003 chairman.
With an election year already getting off to a fast start, Dillard said Buchanan would be able to offer an inside prospective on both a world and global scale.
"It's going to be an exciting evening," Dillard said.
Chamber President and CEO John Poole said the meeting, which includes a dinner and dessert reception in the Marriott's Heritage Ballroom, would highlight the chamber's 2003 accomplishments.
Dillard will talk about changes made in the chamber while Tommy Young, the 2004 chairman, will introduce the chamber's new program of work.
The event is expected to draw more than 800 guests and will recognize recipients of the Teacher of the Year Award from each of Spartanburg's seven school districts.
The Small Businessperson of the Year Award will also be presented at the meeting.
Amanda Ridley can be reached at 562-7270 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mr. Vegas set the pace with
moderate fractions, things really tightened-up around mid-stretch when
Papaw Bodie took over the lead, until Casino Host found his best stride
and ran down Papaw Bodie to score by a half-length
in the 1 1/8-mile affair.
"I talked to
this morning and he wanted me to give the horse a good run up and put
him into the pace and don't let him too far back and at least have
somebody in front of him," said
winning jockey John Velazquez. "If he's too far back at the eighth pole
he is not going to catch him. If he's close enough, within two lengths,
he is going to finish. He was right. He was right there on the money
and when I asked him he responded and put a
good fight down the lane."
winning son of Dynaformer is a bit of a globetrotter, having started at
seven different racetracks dating back to November 2010. After a
few solid efforts in graded stakes company last year, the 4-year-old
broke through on Saturday, paying $23.80, $13.20 and $6.60.
Connie Apostelos'
Papaw Bodie held second and paid $10.80 and $4.80. Henry E. Pabst Trust's
Joinem, another longshot, finished third paying $9.60. The final time was 1:50.87 over the course labeled "good."
The post-time favorite,
Slow Pace, finished fifth after threatening around the far turn. Last year's winner Smart Bid never fired and finished seventh.

Punk has been critical of WWE since leaving the company in January 2014, and it...

You've probably heard of the term "nanosecond", which is a billionth of a second. But perhaps you, like me, have trouble getting your mind around anything that says "billionth". But leave it to a lady to really explain something in a manner I — and you — can easily understand.
Here is a short video wherein Admiral Grace Hopper explains a "nanosecond" using a piece of wire. Interesting. Take a look.

LG Launches Two New Ultra-Wide LED Monitors
LG Electronics USA today launched two new "UltraWide" 21:9 aspect ratio* LED monitors designed to offer professional tools for effective multitasking and excellent gaming experience. Models EA73 and LN450W, which will be on sale in late September, also employ LG's advanced In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology and 2560 x 1080 resolution capability* to deliver exceptional picture quality. "Picture quality is always the number one priority when LG designs display products, but we also focus on versatility," said Tim Alessi, director of new product development at LG Electronics USA. "Our new UltraWide monitors exemplify that focus with features that make them ideal for home-office professionals, students, gamers and casual users alike."
UltraWide Monitor: Multitasking and Multimedia Functionality
LG's new UltraWide monitors feature multitasking and multimedia capabilities, making them ideal for a variety of uses, such as gaming, watching movies and everyday tasks. In addition to their unique aspect ratio and 29-inch class screens (29.0 inches measured diagonally), a feature gamers love because it expands overall screen real estate, LG's new monitors come with software designed to help consumers easily manage multiple windows and source devices.
LG's 4-Screen Split feature allows users to divide the screen into four sections at eight different screen ratios, so users can prioritize windows by size and location instead of having to manually resize and position each window individually. A few simple mouse clicks enable the user to quickly arrange windows into a variety of useful configurations, perfect for the student or professional who needs to jump from program to program. Adding even more versatility, a connectivity feature called Dual-Link Up allows the monitor to connect to two source devices (e.g. smartphones, PCs, cameras, Blu-ray players or gaming systems) and display each on a single screen simultaneously.
Completing the Package
The IPS 21:9 UltraWide series is Mac compatible and supports Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), HDMI and DisplayPort, transforming PCs into powerful entertainment hubs capable of mirroring and transmitting content from a wide range of devices. Graphic designers also should find the monitor's 99 percent sRGB color space expression and support for color calibration helpful. Coupled with these features is IPS technology to help ensure the most accurate color reproduction of source materials.
The LN450W incorporates a digital TV tuner for broadcast reception as well as cable or set-top box connectivity. Both models feature 7W speakers and LG's immersive, thin-bezel CINEMA SCREEN Design for a complete entertainment package.
The EA73 and LN450W will be on sale online and retailers at suggested prices of $599.99 and $649.99, respectively. For more information please visit this page.

|I find that some taboo subjects that are somewhat common in anime are not prevalent in Japanese pop culture. You won't find too much incest themes in Japanese films and TV dramas, which are mostly PG-ish, family-friendly(no pun intended ) stuff. Some anime seems to have a fascination with blush-worthy situations.

It's not particularly prominent outside of hentai (where it's very prominent) but it does exist. It's not often a main theme though because most people find it repellent and most writers aren't talented enough to make it compelling. It shows up in Elfen Lied but it's done in a very clumsy manner and sort of just progresses a bit and ends inexplicably.
Honestly, I wouldn't like to see an increase in its prevalence either. How can you cheer for people that are doing something wrong? You need to make the audience empathise with your characters to generate interest. Persecuted sibling lovers generates no empathy from me and I wouldn't want to cheer for people trying to break them apart either.
Also, don't bring up religion for any reason aside from analysis of a series that has religious elements. It contradicts itself too consistently to defend almost any point and it brings pointless baggage into discussions.

Cousin-cest is way more common in anime than the actual sibling incest. I see a ton of series where the cousin is an obvious love interest.
While I also find incest repellent there have been a few instances where it was interesting like Koi Kaze which I found to be a masterpiece.

Elfen Lied, Cardcaptor Sakura, Fruits Basket... Those are the big ones, and I know there's more but none that I can think of off the top of my head.
...hmmm yet I wonder if they ever say just HOW close of cousins? It always seems "ok" and yet its curious if they are 1st cousins or 4th, 5th, 10th or whatever.

Traitious, two of those are manga-only titles. You're in the Anime forum, so please stick to anime. Also, what you did is nothing more than a list post, and those aren't allowed around here. Consider this a warning.
And dear god, but why are you using the translated name for Koi Kaze? Even the official R1 DVD release for the title retains the original Japanese name.
For general comments, keep in mind that first cousins marrying is not considered incest in Japan, so a lot of that cousin-cest out there probably does involve first cousins. But hey, in ancient Roman times the Emperor Claudius passed a law allowing an uncle to marry his niece so that he could marry his niece Agrippina - who allegedly seduced him - so that's not so strange. (That's how Nero got into the line of succession, BTW, as he was Agrippina's son by a previous marriage.)

First cousin marriage isn't illegal in Japan? That's disgusting. Why bother even preventing intra-family marriage at all then if they make no restrictions on relationships that close to your existing gene pool?
And cousin incest isn't historically uncommon but it's still disgusting and as bad as going for direct relations. Your genes are pretty close until you get into third or fourth cousins. In Canada (and I think the States) the closest you can marry is fifth cousin but by that loose a link the actual risks are probably about as high as your kid becoming handicapped by the environment rather than genetics.

|Only if you have a lot of in-breeding do you get to see the defects. Mating between cousins and siblings happens with other animals all the time, and we don't see rampant mutations and deadly defects all the time. It's cohabitation which makes incest disgusting to everyone, but try separating a brother and a sister, raising them separately their entire lives, and then having them meet for the first time ten, twenty years later - it'll be like meeting a complete stranger. The few reported cases where this happened, the brother and sister were so compatible with each other that they developed sexual feelings for each other; it's only natural to be attracted to those who are the most like yourself.

|What Bitter_Almonds is talking about is a well-documented sociological phenomenon called the Westermarck Effect, which states that individuals who spend a great amount of time with each other under the age of six - such as siblings raised together, for instance - rarely develop sexual attraction towards each other later in life. A related phenomenon is that siblings who never establish this effect (typically because of being raised apart) sometimes develop a genetically-based sexual attraction towards each other when meeting later in life. That's what Koi Kaze is all about.

BokuImo has an anime adaptation.
It's common in ancient Japan as well. In fact, in a historical manga I recently read -- Kohkyu by Tsunami Umino, adapted from Towazugatari -- the male lead married his aunt, who was 11 years older than him. No kidding.
Note: the English Wikipedia page of Emperor Go-Fukakusa has many errors; I'll fix them when I have enough time.
By your standard, so are Europeans, Canadian, Mexican, and half of United States.

In the US, each state has its own laws regarding incest and who you can marry. In my state (Washington), you the closest you can marry is your 2nd cousin. However, you can only be prosecuted for incest if you have sex with an ancestor, descendent, or with a sibling of "whole or half blood". That means that in my state, having sex with a 1st cousin is not incest (legally), though you cannot marry your first cousin.
I don't know if I'd say categorically that incest is disgusting. I know I would never want to have sex with my sister, and do think of that as disgusting. However, there may be cases between other people where it's not. Mostly, I think it's none of my business.

Although my post was bit reflexive and assumes slightly about the tolerance of incest in Japan, if you read my post a second time you'd realise I'm not saying that the Japanese are disgusting but any sort of acceptance of incest is. Regardless of statute I'm certain first cousins could be charged with incest and it is already a legally accepted way to annul a marriage.

If you wanna find instances of cousins marrying you don't have to look any further than the Bush family, Barbara and George H were 4th cousins. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Anyway, I don't see incest in anime as becoming prominent as much as more people just noticing. That said, KissxSis is more complicated that just brother sister, as they have no blood between them. Think of it like the Brady Bunch movie that was made in the 90's and you have basically the same kinda setup, with less kids though. Now is incest wrong? Maybe, but I don't think I should have a say in what other people do. Is it disgusting? Maybe that as well, I wouldn't know cause the situation is impossible for me. The fact that incest in anime and manga is being recognized though is proof enough that people are interested in the subject, but then people are interested in it like people are interested in stuff about murder, they might not wanna do it, but they still have some interest.

Silence is the lack of audible sound or presence of sounds of very low intensity. By analogy, the word silence can also refer to any absence of communication or hearing, including in media other than speech[1] and music.[1] Silence is also used as total communication, in reference to nonverbal communication and spiritual connection. Silence also refers to no sounds uttered by anybody in a room or area. Silence is an important factor in many cultural spectacles, as in rituals.
In discourse analysis, speakers use brief absences of speech to mark the boundaries of prosodic units. Silence in speech can be due to hesitation, stutters, self-correction—or a deliberate slowing of speech to clarify or aid the processing of ideas. These are short silences. Longer pauses in language occur in interactive roles, reactive tokens, or turn-taking.
According to cultural norms, silence can be positive or negative. For example, in a Christian Methodist faith organization, silence and reflection during the sermons might be appreciated by the congregation, while in a Southern Baptist church, silence might mean disagreement with what is being said, or perhaps disconnectedness from the congregated community.
In music[edit]
Music inherently depends on silence in some form or another to distinguish other periods of sound and allow dynamics, melodies and rhythms to have greater impact. For example, most music scores feature rests denoting periods of silence. In addition, silence in music can be seen as a time for contemplation to reflect on the piece. The audience feels the effects of the notes previous and can reflect on that moment intentionally. Silence does not hinder musical excellence but can enhance the sounds of instruments and vocals within the piece.[2]
In his book Sound and Silence (1970, p61) the composer John Paynter says that "the dramatic effect of silence has long been appreciated by composers." He gives as an example "the general pause in the middle of the chorus 'Have lightnings and thunders …' in Bach's St. Matthew Passion":[3]
After the pause, the music continues to the words: "Open up the fiery bottomless pit, O hell!" The silence is intended to communicate a momentary sensation of terror, of staring into unfathomable darkness.[4] Another example of a dramatic silence comes in the "rest full of tension"[5] at the climactic ending of the Hallelujah Chorus in Handel's Messiah:
Musical silences may also convey humour. Haydn's Quartet in E flat, Op. 33 was nicknamed "The Joke" because of the comic timing of the pauses at the end of the last movement:
Taruskin (2010, p. 552) says "whenever this ending is performed, it takes the audience an extra second or so to recover its wits and realize that the piece is indeed over. The result is an inevitable giggle—the same giggle that overtakes a prestidigitator's audience when it realizes that it has been 'had'."[6][7] Barry Cooper (2011, p.38) [8] writes extensively of Beethoven's many uses of silence for contemplation, for dramatic effect and especially for driving the rhythmic impetus of the music. He cites the start of the second movement of the Ninth Symphony, where the silences contribute to a powerful sense of propulsion:
"The rhythm of bar 1 is incomplete and demands a note at the beginning of bar 2. The substitution of such a note by a whole-bar rest therefore gives the effect of a suppressed sound, as if one were about to speak but then refrains at the last moment. The 'suppressed sound' is then repeated in bar 4, and 'developed' (by being doubled) in bars 7 and 8."[9] Grove (1898, p. 355) writes of the "strange irregularity of rhythm in the sixth bar" of this movement.[10]
Much has been said about the harmony of the opening to Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde, which Taruskin (2010, p.540) calls "perhaps the most famous, surely the most commented-on, single phrase of music ever written." However, Wagner's strategic use of silences between phrases intensifies the troubled ambiguity of the music:[11] "The chord that fills the ensuing silence in the listener's inner ear… is the unstated – indeed never to be stated, and ultimately needless to be stated – tonic of that key." [12]
Some of the most effective musical silences are very short, lasting barely a fraction of a second. In the finale of his Symphony No. 1, Brahms inserts a rest at a point where listeners might expect a strong beat: on the first beat of the fourth bar of the following extract. (Bar 257.) The momentary hiatus powerfully disrupts the rhythmic flow. (See also syncopation.)
The above passage may be heard at 11'00" on the linked recording.
During the 20th century, composers explored further the expressive potential of silence in their music.[13] The contemplative concluding bars of Anton Webern's Symphony (1928)[14] and Stravinsky's Les Noces (The Wedding, 1923)[15] make telling and atmospheric use of pauses. Eric Walter White (1947, p.74) describes the ending of Les Noces as follows: "As the voices cease singing, pools of silence come flooding in between the measured strokes of the bell chord, and the music dies away in a miraculously fresh and radiant close."[16] John Paynter (1970, p.24) vividly conveys how silence contributes to the titanic impact of the third section of Messiaen's orchestral work Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum (1964):[17] "Woodwinds jump, growl and shriek. Silence. Eight solemn bell strokes echo and die. Again silence. Suddenly the brasses blare, and out of the trombones' awesome processional grows a steady roar … the big gongs the tam-tam beaten in a long and powerful resonance, shattering and echoing across mountains and along valleys. This is music of the high hills, music for vast spaces: 'The hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God'. We can feel the awe and the majesty of the High Alps and the great churches. The instrumental sounds are vast the silences are deep. The words of St John are alive in the music, and through these sounds Messiaen reveals himself and his vision."[3]
An extreme example from 1952 is 4′33″, an experimental musical work by avant-garde composer John Cage, incorporating ambient sounds not foreseeable by the composer. Though first performed on the piano, the piece was composed for any instrument or instruments and is structured in three movements.[18] The length of each movement is not fixed by the composer, but the total length of the combination of three movements is. The score instructs the performer(s) to remain silent throughout the piece.[19]
There are telling examples of the use of silence in jazz. A frequently used effect, known as Stop-time places silences at moments where listeners or dancers might expect a strong beat, contributing to the syncopation. Scott Joplin's Rag-Time Dance features stop-time silences. (These occur at 2:13 on the linked recording.)
Later examples include the closing bars of Louis Armstrong's recording of Struttin' with Some Barbecue (1928),[20] the hair's-breadth pause at the end of pianist Bill Evans' solo on Miles Davis' recording of On Green Dolphin Street (1959)[21] and Shorty Rogers' Martians go home(1955), where unexpected silences intrude into an otherwise conventional "walking bass" line.[22] Duke Ellington's "Madness in Great Ones", from his Shakespearean Suite Such Sweet Thunder (1957) conveys the feigned madness of Prince Hamlet through abrupt and unpredictable pauses that interrupt the flow of the music.[23]
In film[edit]
The 2016 independent documentary film In Pursuit of Silence portrayed the spiritual and physical benefits of silence, and the price paid individually and collectively for a noisy world.[24] Narration was provided by authors Dr. Helen Lees (Silence in Schools), Pico Iyer (The Art of Stillness), Susan Cain (Quiet), Maggie Ross (Silence: A User's Guide), and George Prochnik (In Pursuit of Silence).[24]
In debate[edit]
Argumentative silence is the rhetorical practice of saying nothing when an opponent in a debate expects something to be said. Poorly executed, it can be offensive, like refusing to answer a direct question. However, well-timed silence can throw an opponent off and give the debater the upper hand.
An argument from silence (Latin: argumentum ex silentio) is an argument based on the assumption that someone's silence on a matter suggests (an informal fallacy) that person's ignorance of the matter. In general, ex silentio refers to the claim that the absence of something demonstrates the proof of a proposition.
In law[edit]
The right to silence is a legal protection enjoyed by people undergoing police interrogation or trial in certain countries. The law is either explicit or recognized in many legal systems.
In danger[edit]
Joseph Jordania suggested that in social animals (including humans) silence can be a sign of danger. Many social animals produce seemingly haphazard sounds which are known as contact calls.[25] These are a mixture of various sounds, accompanying the group's everyday business (for example, foraging, feeding), and they are used to maintain audio contact with the members of the group. Some social animal species communicate the signal of potential danger by stopping contact calls and freezing, without the use of alarm calls, through silence. Charles Darwin wrote about this in relation with wild horse and cattle.[26] Joseph Jordania suggested that human humming could have been a contact method that early humans used to avoid silence.[27] According to his suggestion, humans find prolonged silence distressing (suggesting danger to them). This may help explain why lone humans in relative sonic isolation feel a sense of comfort from humming, whistling, talking to themselves, or having the TV/radio on.
In spirituality[edit]
"Silence" in spirituality is often a metaphor for inner stillness. A silent mind, freed from the onslaught of thoughts and thought patterns, is both a goal and an important step in spiritual development. Such "inner silence" is not about the absence of sound; instead, it is understood to bring one in contact with the divine, the ultimate reality, or one's own true self, one's divine nature.[28] Many religious traditions imply the importance of being quiet and still in mind and spirit for transformative and integral spiritual growth to occur. In Christianity, there is the silence of contemplative prayer such as centering prayer and Christian meditation; in Islam, there are the wisdom writings of the Sufis who insist on the importance of finding silence within. In Buddhism, the descriptions of silence and allowing the mind to become silent are implied as a feature of spiritual enlightenment. In Hinduism, including the teachings of Advaita Vedanta and the many paths of yoga, teachers insist on the importance of silence, Mauna, for inner growth. Perkey Avot, the Jewish Sages guide for living, states that, "Tradition is a safety fence to Torah, tithing a safety fence to wealth, vows a safety fence for abstinence; a safety fence for wisdom ... is silence." In some traditions of Quakerism, communal silence is the usual context of worship meetings, in patient expectancy for the divine to speak in the heart and mind.[29] Eckhart Tolle says that silence can be seen either as the absence of noise, or as the space in which sound exists, just as inner stillness can be seen as the absence of thought, or the space in which thoughts are perceived.
Commemorative silence[edit]
A common way to remember a tragic incident and to remember the victims or casualties of such an event is a commemorative moment of silence.

Beethoven: Triple Concerto, Choral Fantasy, etc.by Pierre-Laurent Aimard
Thanks to his spectacular Ligeti and Messiaen recordings, Pierre-Laurent Aimard first attracted a following among connoisseurs of new music. But his 2003 set of the Beethoven piano concertos announced that he has plenty to say about the standard repertoire, too. Now he rejoins conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt for a companion volume featuring more Beethoven, and the results are just as stimulating. The main course is the "Triple" Concerto, a product of Beethoven's "heroic" period, composed between the "Eroica" Symphony and the "Appassionata" Sonata (which is another Aimard specialty, featured on his live Carnegie Hall recital disc). In the wrong hands, the concerto can seem a trifle long-winded, but that's never an issue here; Aimard, violinist Thomas Zehetmair, and cellist Clemens Hagen come through with an excitingly stormy interpretation (far more so as a whole than the recent rendition by Martha Argerich and friends). Harnoncourt's superb sense of pacing is crucial, but so is the fact that both Hagen (of the Hagen Quartet) and Zehetmair (of the Zehetmair Quartet) are distinguished performers of chamber music -- accounting for the unusually strong and intimate bond these three soloists have forged. Aimard has the spotlight to himself for the remainder of the disc. The Rondo in B-flat for Piano and Orchestra is a rarity: a sparkling work from Beethoven's youth that Aimard attacks with high spirits and a crystalline technique. But the ultimate highlight arrives with the opening minutes of the "Choral" Fantasy, a rhapsodic prelude for unaccompanied piano, reportedly improvised by Beethoven at its premiere. Aimard's absorbing take on this music reminds us of Beethoven's visionary side -- the side to which this visionary pianist is naturally most strongly drawn.

Here's the press release describing some of the stuff the Red Sox will do for Fenway's 100th birthday this year. (It was released this morning despite the "11:13 PM" at the top.) Some notable things:Four throwback days, including May 2 against the A's.A 256-page coffee table book with some never-seen photos.A "living museum" on display at Fenway.An "open house" on April 19th, the eve of the 100th birthday, where fans can go to the dugout tunnel and clubhouse.World's biggest toast before the game on April 20th vs. the Yanks.They say they will announce more. As for Xmas @ Fenway--I didn't win. So I remain a lifetime 0-fer on that front. Hopefully some of you made the cut. Oh well, I'll be getting my tickets online that day and then hopefully being there when they open the doors to everybody for the Yard Sale, should they do it that way again. Oh, and if you wanna see Pujols at Fenway this year, the Angels come in for one series in late August.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Is the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Safe?
What do we really know about the 2009 H1N1 swine flu vaccine? What do we really not know?
Questions about the safety of the vaccine persist. Surf the Internet or flip through TV stations and you'll encounter a multitude of myths and a whole lot of hype.

Prevent Flu: Go to Work or Stay in Bed?
It's a problem: Kids and adults going to work when they should stay home. Around any school or office, you hear them coughing and sneezing. Yet experts' flu prevention advice is clear: Stay home when you are sick. The problem is, "With a lot of flu viruses, people can be infectious before they have symptoms," says Erica Brownfield, MD, a professor of internal medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. In fact, you're spewing flu germs even before you realize you're sick, she tells...
Read the Prevent Flu: Go to Work or Stay in Bed? article > >
What are the facts? Straightforward answers follow these questions:
- Is the 2009 H1N1 swine flu vaccine safe?
- Isn't the 2009 H1N1 swine flu vaccine too new to trust?
- Why should I believe what government scientists say about swine flu?
- Does the H1N1 swine flu vaccine contain thimerosal?
- The 1976 swine flu vaccine wasn't safe. Why should I trust this one?
- Do we really know what drugmakers are putting in the swine flu vaccine?
Is the 2009 H1N1 swine flu vaccine safe?
No vaccine is 100% safe for everyone. People with allergies to eggs, for example, can't take flu vaccines because eggs are involved in the manufacturing process.
And flu vaccines cause mild but common reactions. About one in three people get a sore arm from the shot, some with a little redness or even swelling. Some 10% to 15% of people feel tired or get a headache; some may even run a low fever.
And vaccines can trigger rare but serious reactions, even among people with no apparent allergies or sensitivities.
So if vaccines aren't 100% safe, why risk them?
Approved vaccines -- including the 2009 H1N1 swine flu vaccine -- are calculated to be much, much less risky than the diseases they prevent. For example, out of every million people who get a flu shot, one or two will get a serious neurological reaction called Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).
But flu itself causes serious problems, including GBS, in far more than two in a million cases. And since a large proportion of the population will get swine flu, the vaccine risk is far smaller than the disease risk.
In clinical trials, 10,000 to 15,000 children and adults have received various manufacturers' brands of H1N1 swine flu vaccine. Nothing serious happened to any of them, including this reporter, who received a double dose of the Sanofi-Pasteur swine flu vaccine.

The real story behind the Red Sox' discovery of New Zealand softballer Beau Bishop
|02.11.11 at 11:32 pm ET
By now, the story of the Red Sox' signing of Te Wera "Beau" Bishop has made the rounds. He is a 17-year-old catcher who emerged as one of the top fast-pitch softball prospects in New Zealand, but that status was far from lucrative. Until signing a deal with the Sox (he was given a bonus of $60,000, the Boston Herald reported on Friday), he was anticipating a career as a builder.
But that was until Red Sox Pacific Rim scouting coordinator Jon Deeble — the manager of Australia's national team — was impressed with his very raw tools, and thus was convinced to help set Bishop on a path that will take him from New Zealand to Fort Myers at the start of February. Deeble weighed in via email with the full scouting story of Bishop. Here it is:
"We have been following Te Wera (Beau) for a while now mainly through video. Two weeks ago, I was in New Zealand managing the under-17 Australian team in a World Championship qualifier. It was my intention to work [Bishop] out whilst I was over there," Deeble wrote. "I was halfway through a game. I went to the bathroom and I saw this kid throwing in the park adjacent to the field where the bathroom was.
"I was walking towards these two kids throwing the baseball and as I was walking, I was saying to myself, 'Wow, that kid has a great arm,' and it was so smooth and throwing over a long distance. I said to myself, 'No that couldn't be him, could it? So I went up to him and asked him his name. He told me Beau Bishop. I said, 'You are the kid I am looking for.'
"I was at a junior softball tournament the week before and had heard a lot about this kid but he wasn't playing, his younger brother was.
"I worked him out and although raw he [showed] the tools we look for in signing a player. He had a good arm, strong with carry. He is a catcher and threw the ball well to second and showed a very good ability to catch and frame the ball behind the plate. Although his swing was built to hit a softball he showed good raw power and hit some balls out of the [park] during our batting practice.
"He showed me three tools we look for, and although this will be a very hard adjustment for him, he showed aptitude and [made] some good adjustments. We need to be patient with him as he will take some time. He is a big strong kid who has never lifted a weight.
"He will go to spring training and extended spring. He will then go home to New Zealand for two weeks, then attend the MLB Australian Academy where he will get 40 plus games in and at least 150 at-bats. He needs experience in hitting a baseball and also catching it. He is amazing how he catches softballs at great speeds over 40 feet. Hopefully he can make the adjustments over 60 feet with a baseball."
