The creative class includes scientists, engineers, architects, educators, writers, artists and entertainers. Those are our kind of people, because they include a broad swath of our readers. They're also the subject of Richard Florida's pioneering work The Rise of the Creative Class, published in 2002, a blueprint for how cities become successful cultural centers in the 21st century.
|Criteria for Our Best Cities Picks
|Which City Is Best For You?
|PODCAST: How We Picked the Cities
Now Florida, a professor of public policy at George Mason University, is using creative-class criteria to pick great places to live for different times in your life -- whether you're just starting out, married with children, a midlife professional, an empty-nester or retired. We partnered with Florida and his associates to generate our Kiplinger/Richard Florida 25 Best Cities.
The 25 winning cities were selected not just because they have a strong creative class (see all our criteria). Each is well suited in several ways to a different stage of your life. Those judged best for raising families have great schools, for example. Those for retirees provide exceptional and reasonably priced health care. Each winning city has a large number of people who are in a particular stage of life. Some locales are pricey, but higher salaries in those cities may mitigate the cost of living.
We think our cities will resonate in particular with the group that makes up so many of our readers. "Baby-boomers," Florida points out, "are making more moves strictly to improve their lifestyle."
Best Cities for Young Singles
The cities that ranked highly for young singles score well on rental affordability and have a high number of bars and restaurants per capita.
Best Cities for Mid-Level Professionals
Areas with lots of career opportunities, growth in wages and affordable housing made our cut.
Best Cities for Married With Kids
All these cities have wholesome environments and plenty of things families can do together.
Best Cities for Empty-Nesters
We picked cities with a strong cultural mix and plenty of outdoor amenities.
Best Cities for Retirees
These places offer vibrant cultural and education amenities, reasonable health-care costs, good health-care availability and a low total crime rate.

PC with Vista Home Premium running QCAD version 184.108.40.206
Only very simple drawings seem to open in AutoCAD and it is necessary to change all the layers to white when in AutoCAD. Also the only succesful font is Cursive when translated.
More complex drawings with drawing sheets etc,. do not open and generate the message 'Invalid or incomplete DXF format'.
As I need to send my drawings to others in DXF format, so that they can superimpose other information, how can this problem be overcome?

East's Ginley places fourth at Nationals
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 10:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 10:38 p.m.
After setting a new personal record and placing first at the Powerade State Games track meet two weeks ago to qualify for Nationals, East Henderson pole vaulter Corey Ginley outdid himself again last weekend.
The rising East senior vaulted 14-8.25, a new PR, to place fourth in the Emerging Elite portion of the New Balance Outdoor Nationals, held last weekend at North Carolina A & T University in Greensboro. He had jumped 14-6 the weekend before at the State Games.
Because of his age he competed in the Emerging Elite, but could qualify for the championship portion of the meet next year as a senior.
East pole vault coach Jim Ward accompanied Ginley in Greensboro.
"He almost made 15-2, but he just barely touched it with his arm, and it was 15-2 that won it," Ward said. "He's only going to get better and as far as talent goes he's probably the best around. At one point he was fifth in the state, but he's probably higher now."
Since starting his pole vaulting career as a freshman at East, Ginley has qualified for the 3-A West Regional meet every year. He finished second at the 3-A state meet this past season with a jump of 14-0. Earlier in the year he also won the WNC Athletic Conference title with a vault of 13-0.
Just because the season might be over doesn't mean Ginley will be off the track this summer and into the fall. He's acquired the help of mentor and former East pole vault standout Tyler Samotis, who now pole vaults for Gardner-Webb.
"We're jumping once a week now to stay in shape, and he and Tyler Samotis are going to jump together and go to a couple of meets," Ward said.

A-Rod to Have Hip Surgery, Will Miss Part of Season
UPDATED | Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez has a tear in the labrum in his hip and will require surgery that should force him to miss several months of the 2013 season.
The tear is to Rodriguez' left hip. Rodriguez 37, already tore the labrum – the protective lining — in his right hip, in 2008 and underwent extensive surgery to repair it before the 2009 season. Now this second injury, unrelated to the first, must also be repaired.
The controversial star first felt pain in his hips in the 2012 playoffs, during the third game of the American League Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles – a night that is already part of Rodriguez' legend, as he was lifted for a pinch hitter for the first time in his career.
After that game, Rodriguez underwent an MRI, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
"During the playoffs, the famous game when he was pinch hit for, that night he had some pain in his right hip," the person said. "He went for an MRI that night for his right hip. But he was fine, there's nothing wrong with his right hip, so he played through the rest of the season."
At a subsequent checkup several weeks ago, further examination discovered the new injury.
"He was still feeling it, and they did a whole bunch of MRI's, and they found that the problem was in the left hip," the person said.
Rodriguez will not undergo the surgery until early 2013, in order to give him four to six weeks to strengthen the area. He is expected to miss four to six months, and the Yankees hope he can return by June.
Doctors will perform a left hip arthroscopy to close the tear in the labrum, repair a bone impingement, and correct a cyst in the hip. The operation is similar to the 2009 surgery, though not identical. Rodriguez missed two months of games after that operation.
Rodriguez, always a lightning rod for controversy, suffered through the worst full season of his career in 2012, one which reached its nadir in the playoffs. The indignity of being lifted for a pinch hitter was only the start: after that game, an ineffective Rodriguez was benched in several subsequent contests as the Yankees were knocked out of the playoffs by the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series.
Dr. Marc Phillipon, who performed the 2009 surgery, and Dr. Bryan Kelly, who will perform the upcoming left hip operation, both said that they believe the hip injury was part of the reason for Rodriguez' poor performance in the playoffs.
Rodriguez finished the season batting .272 with 18 home runs and 57 RBI. Rodriguez has five years remaining on the $275 million contract he signed before the 2008 season.
Coupled with Derek Jeter's broken ankle, the injury highlights both the age and fragility of the Yankee roster, and their desperate need for quality players who can man the left side of the infield.

Police: Girl drowns in pool while mother sleeps
Published: Friday, April 25, 2014 at 8:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 25, 2014 at 8:06 a.m.
LEESBURG - Police in central Florida say a young girl drowned in a neighbor's swimming pool while her mother slept.
Orlando's WESH (http://bit.ly/1ntAlNs) reports 3-year-old Jayonna Brown left home with her 4-year-old brother on Thursday and entered their neighbor's unfenced yard.
Capt. Rob Hicks says the young girl climbed into the above-ground pool, using a pool ladder. Hicks says the boy realized his sister needed help and ran next door.
A maintenance worker pulled the child from the pool and called 911.
Rescue crews tried to resuscitate the little girl, but she was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
The mother of the children, Chante Anthony, eventually woke up and discovered the children missing.
The Florida Department of Children and Families and detectives are investigating.

Indiana State Police are investigating after skeletal remains were found.
State police said they were called to Big Cedar Road near U.S. Route 52 in Cedar Grove, Ind.
Witnesses told WLWT News 5 that there was a large police presence at the scene.
The remains were found at about 11 a.m. Sunday morning by passersby who were walking along Big Cedar Creek.
State police have not said how long they believe the remains have been there. Witnesses also said police were collecting evidence in bags at the scene.
The remains were scheduled to be taken Monday to Cincinnati for examination by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office. Sgt. Noel Houze says DNA and other forensic testing will be done on the remains to determine the individual's cause of death.

- Sharks' Justin Braun says he is improving as a fighter

- Purdy: With Sutter around, Sharks not home free
- Sharks penalty kill suffered in playoff games in Los Angeles
- Sharks poised to close out NHL playoff series at home
SAN JOSE -- The Sharks get their second chance to eliminate the Los Angeles Kings from the Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday night and coach Todd McLellan likes the fact his players know that home ice alone won't get it done.
"We know we have to be better," he said after his team's morning skate in preparation for Game 5. "That simple fact makes me feel good. We know we have to be better. We weren't good enough last game, we're not fooling ourselves."
That said, returning to the SAP Center where the Sharks have beaten the Kings the last five post-season games was welcomed after the 6-3 loss to Los Angeles at the Staples Center in Game 4.
"Yeah, it's awesome," Joe Pavelski said. "Me, personally, I love getting a chance to play in here, especially playoffs. That's the way this team feels, so we're excited to be back."
The Sharks won the first two games in San Jose decisively, 6-3 and 7-2. Even in Los Angels, the games were high-scoring as the teams totaled 16 goals in splitting the pair.
"I still think we're going back to that tight-checking, 3-2 type game for the rest of the series," McLellan said. "If we don't, then we'll have to deal with it as we go along."
The Sharks coach said the fact his team has had all four lines contributing offensively in this series is in marked contrast with some playoffs past.
"We've had some years where we've had to rely on two or three players," he said. "The distribution of opportunity throughout our lineup has been as good as it's been all year. That's probably been not the biggest surprise, but the most comforting thing."
McLellan spelled out the importance of having all four lines hemming the Kings in their own zone.
"I think that you get ahead of a team sometimes just on pure fatigue and line change," he said. "If you can get ahead of them in a line change situation and wear them out in their zone, you'll end up having more shots and more scoring opportunities."
Based on drills at the morning skate, it didn't appear that there would be any lineup changes for either the Sharks or Kings.

All very well, but what seemed a comfortable chair to rest turned out to be a broken, old and deformed chair, which has been impossible to use it to rest
Todo muy bien, sin embargo, lo que parecia un sillón comodo para descansar resultó ser un sillón roto, viejo y deformado, con lo que ha sido imposible utilizarlo para descansar
Lacasa is very close to everything and very quiet and recommend it to anyone
Lacasa esta muy bien cerca a todo y muy tranquilo y se lo recomiendo a cualquiera
There were four + 2 children in the house and it was a great stay. House was great, everything clean and functional (not stale) established. Large house with a nice terrace, balcony and large, very clean pool!
Parking there is really only one and the front of the house !!! House beginning to end house is a parking lot. Otherwise the neighbors complaining.
Service Agency was impeccable! We will be back;)
Wir waren zu viert + 2 Kindern im Haus und es war ein toller Aufenthalt. Haus war super, alles sauber und zweckmäßig (nicht altbacken) eingerichtet. Großes Haus mit schöner Terasse, Balkon und großem, sehr sauberen Pool!
Parkmöglichkeit gibt es wirklich nur eine und das direkt vor dem Haus!!! Hausanfang bis Hausende ist ein Parkplatz. Sonst beschweren sich die Nachbarn.
Service der Agentur war einwandfrei! Wir kommen wieder ;)
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
Perfect! Apartment is in great shape, there is nothing to complain about. The location is great, whether you. The city on foot, by metro bus, hop on hop off or rather want to enjoy the beach The central location one just has a main thoroughfare in front of the door, we did not do in the least disturbed.
The organization was great and the underground parking was really worth the money.
Perfekt! Apartment ist in einem super Zustand, es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. Die Lage ist top, egal ob man die Stadt zu Fuß, per Metro, Hop on Hop off Bus erkunden oder doch lieber den Strand genießen will. Durch die zentrale Lage hat man halt auch eine Hauptverkehrsstraße vor der Tür, uns hat's nicht im geringsten gestört.
Auch die Organisation war top und der Tiefgaragenstellplatz war sein Geld echt wert.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.
the apartment is really well placed, right in the centre of Prague; you need just a minute to reach the old town square by walk, passing through one of the most turistic street of the city.
The guys at the reception did a good job, letting us enter our rooms some hours before the check-in time.
The apartment was really nice and well furnished, with everything necessary (i think more than necessary!!) for the trip: tiny but complete kitchen, living room with big tv, internet connection and so on...
We just had some troubles to sleep at night dued to some drunk hooligans lodged in our building that passed whole nights ringing every door bell in the palace, shouting, slamming doors and elevator cabin, from 4 to 6 a.m.; unfortunately non-smart people is everywhere...but this has nothing to do with the accomodation that has been really comfortable.
Nice little house with everything you need. There's a sandbeach nearby, you can walk to it in 5 minutes. With the cab or bus it's easy to go to the city of Zadar. The host was very sweet and willing to arrange anything. We had a good time!
I chose the appartment because of low price and good location. I payed the amount of 160€ for 3 nights which was on the receipt I got from windu. After that I realized that the flat was sold by a company called interhome which sent me a second receipt for a cleaning few of 58€. So the inital low price increased by 35%.
I could have seen this clicking on an extra button in the description in advance. Very poor strategy to make money, sorry guys....
The flat itself was very good, clean and recomendable.
The apartment on the Carree Moscou is perfect for a stay in Barcelona with a real top location! The apartment offers everything that is needed, glorious natural light with a fantastic view of the city and above all very clean! Thank you for the fantastic days and will always recommend especially the landlady!
Die Wohnung im Carree Moscou ist perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Barcelona mit einer wirklichen Top Lage! Das Apartment bietet alles, was nötig ist, herrlich licht durchflutet mit einem fantastischen Blick auf die Stadt und vor allem sehr sauber! Wir bedanken uns für die fantastischen Tage und werden vor allem die Vermieterin stets weiter empfehlen!

I've noticed that there are many people on this forum who have a Browning Maxus, so I thought I would ask a question regarding it. What ammo/choke combo has given you your best pattern results for your Maxus?
I have the 28in that'll shoot 3.5in shells, and I have been shooting the factory chokes and have had fairly good results shooting 3in xperts when hunting close range ducks. This is my first season to hunt with it and it did really well during teal season using factory improved choke and #4 xperts for close, decoying birds, but I was curious to see what other Maxus owners prefer- ammo and factory/aftermarket chokes? Thanks.

I was about to post the exact same question. However, mine is a 26'' that only shoots up to 3'' shells.

The timber n teal works good with experts out to about 20 yds. I use the ic with about anything out to 35 yds. on geese if they are being shy i like the wad wizard supreme with high density or heavy metal. 25 to 40 or even 45 it does a good job. black cloud and the ic are murderers. i shoot bb's and 2's with mine. 7.5 high brass federals work like a dream on fast clays and fiocci 5's for pheasants with the mod choke.
It's time for some Grounds control.

Thanks for the feedback, Mike. I'm thinking about going back to shooting BCs. I shot BC with my 870 last year and had good results. Been shooting mostly xperts this year with maxus and have had some birds take 2 shots when it should've only taken one imo; maybe my shot was off some, but it seems like Black Cloud shells gave me more downed birds per shot avg. hard to beat the xpert price for close range birds though, being a student and all.. I plan to pattern my gun in the next few weeks, but was hoping to get some more input from other maxus users before doing so. Thanks again.

I only shoot the 3" out of mine but BC 3's works real good on ducks over dekes with the factory mod choke switch to either ic or mod and BB's for geese. Just tryed Fed premiums they patterned great and Rogers has great prices on them with free shipping ordered two cases Sunday. There is also a rebate check it out Joe

I used Black Cloud 3" #2s with mod choke this past weekend and it did great. 1 shot kills instead of the 2 shots needed with the xperts. the birds just folded.. i think i'll stick with the BC from here on out. was an awesome hunt.

Swampman, Pull the recoil pad and the stock off and clean the recoil tube. If you have the barrel and trigger group removed you can push the recoil spring pistin in a little ways with a phillips screwdriver and rinse it out with cunscrubber and then lube with fp-10. Also spray out the trigger mech and lightly lube. The mag tube can be cleaned with 0000 stell wool and either run dry or a real light coat of fp-10. when you have the piston off check the spring inside. There have been a few reports of this spring breaking. I have run 7/8 oz light loads to 3.5 and have not had any cycling problems. Mine was a early model that had the trigger return spring that was taking a early set that browning replaced. ( the so called trigger trapping) Other than that it has been real reliable and is pushing 5000 rounds.
It's time for some Grounds control.

STANFORD -- Stanford wrapped up the final practice of its first spring session Saturday with a scrimmage dominated by the defense and -- not surprisingly -- no clarity at tailback.
Other spots on the depth chart are taking shape, however.
Graham Shuler is the presumed starter in the middle of the rebuilt offensive line, with Joshua Garnett at left guard and Johnny Caspers at right guard.
Kyle Murphy is the No. 1 right tackle, with returning starter Andrus Peat manning the left side.
Kevin Anderson will take over for outside linebacker Trent Murphy, while Blake Martinez and Joe Hemschoot are competing to fill the void left by inside linebacker Shayne Skov.
Kyle Olugbode is the front-runner at free safety, with converted receiver Kodi Whitfield and converted quarterback Dallas Lloyd also in contention.
Sophomore Aziz Shittu has played well at nose tackle and could be used anywhere along a defensive line that must replace two key performers (Ben Gardner and Josh Mauro).
"He gives us a lot of versatility,'' coach David Shaw said.
"I think it's terrible,'' he said. "They commit and change their mind, and we're going to try to hold them to that? ... It's adult males pressuring young males into something."
Shaw also noted that an early-signing period could "punish" Stanford and other academically-inclined schools with lengthy admissions processes.
In a typical recruiting cycle, he said, less than half of Stanford's recruits have been admitted to school before November (the window for early signings in basketball).
Montgomery is recovering from a knee injury suffered in the Rose Bowl.

The Welsh Rugby Union have launched a set of Dementia clocks and pan-Wales touch rugby leagues which will start this summer. Touch rugby is great fun, a good way of keeping fit and a safe introduction to the full game. It also helps to develop some of the key skills needed to play the game.
So what's the problem?
Rugby clubs. Or the lack of them. The WRU announcement makes no mention of rugby clubs whatsoever. Call me old-fashioned, but I thought the WRU was a Union of Welsh rugby clubs (hence the name).
It would seem to make sense to someone who isn't living in the crazy parallel universe inhabited by the people who run our national game, that rugby clubs should be involved in a development initiative like this.
But instead, the WRU have set up their own project, diverting more funds away from the grass roots and into another pet project run from the Vale of Glamorgan "Centre of Excellence."
This is happening against the backdrop of a crisis in our club game. Local clubs are being starved of funds, threatening their very existence.
Rugby clubs are already there, with volunteers and facilities to support these new initiatives. Get kids and grown-ups down to your local club in the summer to play touch, and they may return in the Autumn to play the full game. At the same time supporting the grass roots game which is the life blood of our national game and our communities.
Yet again the WRU has sacrificed the greater good of all Welsh rugby just to gain a few minutes of headlines.
It would be interesting to hear the views of other rugby clubs' members, coaches and volunteers.

Igor Stravinsky
From Wikiquote
Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky (Russian: Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский) (June 17, 1882 – April 6, 1971), a Russian-born composer, is thought to be one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. His musical language evolved over the years through many stylistic periods including neoclassicism and serialism, though he is perhaps most remembered for his early works, written in a primitive style for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes; L'Oiseau de Feu (The Firebird), Petrushka and Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring).
- 1930.
- For I consider that music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all, whether a feeling, an attitude of mind, a psychological mood, a phenomenon of nature, etc. Expression has never been an inherent property of music. That is by no means the purpose of its existence. If, as is nearly always the case, music appears to express something, this is only an illusion and not a reality. It is simply an additional attribute which, by tacit and inveterate agreement, we have lent it, thrust upon it, as a label, a convention – in short, an aspect which, unconsciously or by force of habit, we have come to confuse with its essential being.
- Igor Stravinsky (1936). An Autobiography, p. 53-54.
- 1950s
- I was…attacked for being a pasticheur, chided for composing "simple" music, blamed for deserting "modernism," accused of renouncing my "true Russian heritage." People who had never heard of, or cared about, the originals cried "sacrilege": "The classics are ours. Leave the classics alone." To them all my answer was and is the same: You "respect," but I love.
- Expositions and Developments (1959), pp. 113-114
- 1960s
- My music is best understood by children and animals.
- Igor Stravinsky. The Observer, Oct 8, 1961.
- One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.
- 1962, quoted in Andriessen and Schoenberger, The Apollonian Clockwork (1989). Oxford: Oxford University Press.
- The over-publicized bit about expression (or non-expression) was simply a way of saying that music is supra-personal and super-real and as such beyond verbal meanings and verbal descriptions. It was aimed against the notion that a piece of music is in reality a transcendental idea "expressed in terms of" music, with the reductio ad absurdum implication that exact sets of correlatives must exist between a composer's feelings and his notation. It was offhand and annoyingly incomplete, but even the stupider critics could have seen that it did not deny musical expressivity, but only the validity of a type of verbal statement about musical expressivity. I stand by the remark, incidentally, though today I would put it the other way around: music expresses itself.
- Igor Stravinsky and Robert Craft (1962). Expositions and Developments.
- The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead.
- Igor Stravinsky. "Subject: Music", New York Times Magazine, 9/27/64.
- 1970s and later
- The phenomenon of music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the co-ordination between man [sic] and time.
- Quoted in DeLone et. al. (Eds.) (1975). Aspects of Twentieth-Century Music. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall. ISBN 0130493465, Ch. 3. from Igor Stravinsky' Autobiography (1962). New York: W.W. Norton & Co., Inc., p. 54.
- Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it.
- Quoted by Géza Szamosi, The Twin Dimensions: Inventing Time and Space (New York, 1986), p. 232.
Themes and Conclusions (1982)[edit]
Igor Stravinsky and Robert Craft (1982). Themes and Conclusions, Berkley: University of California Press.
- Much of the music is a Merzbild, put together from whatever came to hand. I mean, for example...the Alberti-bass horn solo accompanying the Messenger. I also mean the fusion of such widely divergent types of music as the Folies Bergeres tune at No. 40 ('The girls enter, kicking') and the Wagnerian 7th-chords at Nos. 58 and 74."
- p. 27: Dialogues.
- What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.
- p. 33.
- Composers combine notes, that's all.
- p. 52 : Dialogues.
- It is the transcendent (or 'abstract' or 'self-contained') nature of music that the new so called concretism--Pop Art, eighteen-hour slices-of-reality films, musique concrete--opposes. But instead of bringing art and reality closer together, the new movement merely thins out the distinction.
- p. 188.
Quotes about Igor Stravinsky[edit]
- Stravinsky, the chameleon-musician, the man of a thousand-and-one styles, has bequeathed us a totally unified treasury of rhythm that traces a perfect arc from his first to most recent work, rising from the simple to the complex then falling from the complex to the simple.
- Olivier Messiaen, "Rhythm in the Music of Igor Stravinsky", La Revue musicale 191 (1939)
- The music of Le Sacre du Printemps baffles verbal description. To say that much of it is hideous as sound is a mild description. There is certainly an impelling rhythm traceable. Practically it has no relation to music at all as most of us understand the word.
- Musical Times, London, August 1, 1913, quoted in: Slonimsky, Nicolas (1953). Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time. Seattle: University of Washington Press. ISBN 0295785799.
- Regarding The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.
- This intersecting of inherently non-symmetrical diatonic elements with inherently non-diatonic symmetrical elements seems to me the defining principle of the musical language of Le Sacre and the source of the unparalleled tension and conflicted energy of the work.
- George Perle (1990). The Listening Composer, p. 83. California: University of California Press. ISBN 0520069919.
- Regarding The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.
- The diatonicism of Le Sacre du printemps should not be understood in the restrictive sense of the major/minor system, but in terms of something more basic. Like the symmetrical partitionings of the twelve-tone scale in Le Sacre, its diatonicism may also be explained in terms of interval cycles--more simply and coherently, in fact, than in terms of the traditional modes and scales. With the single exception of interval[-class] 5, every interval[-class] from 1 through 6 will partition the space of an octave into equal segments. A seven-note segment of the interval-5 cycle [C5], telescoped into the compass of an octave, divides the octave into unequal intervals--'whole-steps' and 'half-steps.'
- George Perle (1990). The Listening Composer, p. 84. California: University of California Press. ISBN 0520069919.
- Regarding The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.
- For my part I did not approve of Stravinsky's predilection for Bach's method — pseudo-Bachism — or rather, I did not approve adopting someone else's idiom and calling it one's own. True, I had written a Classical Symphony myself, but that was only a passing phase. With Stravinsky this 'Bachism' was becoming the basic line of his music.
- Sergei Prokofiev, Autobiography: Articles. Reminiscences, p. 61

CONCORD -- After the semifinal round Saturday, Antioch High School was on the verge of dominating the Clayton Valley Invitational wrestling tournament. Instead, the Panthers stumbled through the finals but still outdistanced Clayton Valley for their first tournament victory this season.
There was a Panther in half of the 14 championship bouts but Antioch won just two titles. Joseph Papaglia held off Alex Bazan of Freedom 7-4 at 162 pounds, and Fabrico Parada pinned John Nevis of Freedom 23 seconds into the second round of the 285-pound title match.
"I was a little disappointed, obviously, but I have a really young class," Antioch coach Ben McCorson said. "I have a lot of freshmen, a lot of sophomores. We had some ups and downs, but that's how wrestling is."
Clayton Valley, Heritage and Concord each claimed two individual titles. The Eagles' Kyle Tran pinned Charles Chappel of Galena-Reno (Nevada) in 47 seconds to win the 108-pound championship, and was voted the Most Valuable Lightweight. Mustafa Sheridil (115) made it two straight for the Eagles when his second-round pin of Antioch's Eric Schneiderman.
Concord's Lucas Barberio and Max Mayo each won their final handily. Barberio stuck Logan Bangert of Clayton Valley 49 seconds into the second round at 197, building an 8-3 lead before getting the pin. Barberio also earned the Most Valuable Heavyweight. Mayo did nearly everything but pin Clayton Valley's Dahkota Cramer in the 172-pound final, getting three takedowns and two near-falls en route to a 15-3 victory.
Mike Carr of Heritage won the 184-pound title by pinning Freedom's Cole Thompson 39 seconds into the third round. He was ahead 12-7 when the pin came. Thompson had Carr on his back at the end of the second round but could not get the fall. The Falcons' Kyle Marshall won the 134-pound title with an 11-4 victory over Antioch's Barney Maldonado.
Clint Fredenberg of Freedom won at 122 pounds with a second-round pin of Ikaika Flagg of Galena-Reno, and Northgate's Floyd Armenta decisioned Moises Flores of Antioch 11-5 for the 222-pound title.
It was the smallest tournament ever at Clayton Valley with just 11 teams, with teams also traveling to Albany and Dublin, as well as a tournament in Windsor pulling in schools from the North Bay.
Clayton Valley's Matt McCoy was stopped by top-seeded Paul Fox of Gilroy in the semifinals, then went onto finish sixth at 140 pounds
Two pins and a decision put McCoy in the semifinal against Fox, ranked third in the state at 132 pounds by The California Wrestler, but was edged 4-3. McCoy finished with a 5-3 loss to Zack Holmes of Paso Robles in the fifth-place match.
Castro Valley's Matt Aquino took fifth at 154 pounds, and the Trojans' Diego Lazares was seventh at 134.

A near-perfect application. I use this constantly during my hectic workday, to keep tabs on my priorities when my own head can't keep up. Previously I had an entire 1600×1200 display full of Post-it-notes for the same purpose. I've inspired two other of my workmates to start using it. I can't wait until there's iPhone sync support!
Things is just an awesome program. I own omnifocus but find it takes a lot of work to get it right. Things works the way my brain works. It still needs improvement it isnt even at v1.0 yet. Of course it will support the iphone in June.
After reading GTD (what a relief!), I found it ironic that most GTD apps were not simple to use and actually complicated processing tasks. Things follows two philosophies: GTD simplicity and Macintosh elegance.
Things succeeds where I believe OmniFocus failed. This is an easy to use application. Within ten minutes I had inputed over a dozen projects and next actions.
Kudos to Cultured Code!
I think tagging is the key difference and usability enhancement. it allows you to impose your own cross-task structure -- priorities, categories, statuses, etc. whatever the designers didn't think of or want to clutter the UI with.
I'm really enjoying using Things, which means I DO use Things, which means it's actually of help to me in getting things done. As others have already said, once it gets Apple app integration and the ability to export/sync the info it will be a truly killer app.
It's attractive. But more than that I like its simplicity and flexibility; the neat way it handles the Someday and Postponed aspects of my life. Just a joy to use.
For perspective: I have tried Actiontastic and iGTD. Actiontastic was just a bit too austere and rigid; iGTD is fussy and requires too much "fooling around" with tasks, thereby defeating the purpose. I wanted a simple, elegant tool that would allow for quick capture, speedy processing, and no-brainer retrieval. Things is all that. Bravo! I'll be happy to pay for this app when the time comes.
I moved over from OmniFocus a couple of weeks ago and find Things much more usable. It seems like the developers took OF as a starting point then took it where it was supposed to go.
The simplicity of having predefined views for just seeing the next x actions, and marking stuff for today over a cup of coffee in the morning is just fun! As mentioned, the postponing is also really well done.
Being faced down by that list of next widgets to crank is both a wonder and depressing at the same time ;)
I know this is all possible with OF through perspectives, but I found that a bit arcane.
Things is more like OSX, OF more like Gentoo
I've been trying litterally every task management software on Mac since nearly one year without ever finding a program that would convince me and that would "feel right"... until 5 days ago, when I tried Things !
I think GTD method is good (well... not so much a revolution imho, but it's a progress), but shouldn't, at least when it's translated to a software, be taken too strictly.
I liked a lot the ideas behind Midnight Inbox, but it was completely unusable at the end, because you had to pass 1 hour configuring the tasks you would accomplish in the next hour... and because the management of contexts and areas was too strict and wouldn't let you any flexibility in the way you wanted to "get things done".
iGTD was more flexible, lightweight and stable... but I didn't like the interface. It didn't help you see was are the next things you should do considering the priorities and the context... Yet, it was probably the best solution available 'till now.
I won't say a lot about OmniFocus : seems not at all intuitive and easy to me (plus, I don't like the Omni kind of interface... it feels like Windows 3.1 in comparison with Things lol). And nothing to say about applications like TaskPaper or other extremely simple apps, since that kind of stuff doesn't add any advantages in comparison with pen and paper (imho)...
So, for nearly one year, I've been trying out and systematicaly abandoning all those tasks management apps... I had given up the idea of finding a cool program to improve my way of working...
And then I found Things.
First, it's nice and shiny :-). In my way of working, it really matters. I can't stand anymore working with ugly applications.
Then, it's easy to add your tasks and doesn't take hours to plan your future actions. Everything is very intuitive, fluid...
It lets you do with contexts, projects and areas what you want, you're not putting your tasks in airtight boxes.
At the end, it just feels perfectly right ! :-)
After trying OmniFocus for a few weeks, I took a peek at Things after they sent me an invite code. I had great expectations based on all their talk about simplicity but the truth is that it was a little too simple. OmniFocus does much more than I need, but of its features that I do need and use, it does them very well. I also prefer the clearer separation of Contexts and Projects in OF. I may try Things again when it hits 1.0, but its current version wasn't enough for me to switch.
Things is GTD and fun. Omnifocus and iGTD are GTD and work. What I mean is that Omnifocus and iGTD are hard to set up and to maintain. Things is easy and joy!
When Things has Apple apps integration and sync functionality it's a killer app.
Highly recommended.
Use it the first time and love it. It is so simple to use and so near to my way of working/thinking.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (ii) Uncritical treatmen...
|< (i) Double standards in ...
|(iv) Manipulation of two... >
|(xv) Additional evidence... >>
(iii) Suppression of relevant information: the memoirs of Nicolaus von Below
1. In the documentation presented by Irving, von Below is quoted, in a note headed by Irving 'Destruction of the Jews: nothing known of it in the FHQu.', as having said:
The measures against the Jews that became known after the war were never the object of official discussions. Neither do I remember any private conversations about the subject. I did not even know the names of the persons named in the meantime in court cases as organisers of the destruction of the Jews, such as Eichmann, [Rudolf] Hoess etc. None of them were ever present in the Führerhauptquartier.151
2. This was an affidavit given in April 1948 in defence of a fellow member of Hitler's staff, press spokesman Otto Dietrich.
3. Yet in March of the same year von Below had been more open with his interrogators. The following exchange about the systematic murder of Russian Jews by the Einsatzgruppen is included in the same files as the above statement:
Question: I'm talking about the activities of the SD Einsatzgruppen, that is the people who carried out the shooting of Jews on the basis of the Führer order . You think that you first learnt about it immediately after the beginning of the war [with Russia]?
Answer: Approximately. Anyway I learnt that about these Einsatzgruppen that they existed. Where and what they individually did, that I also didn't learn of.
Question: Did you know about this Führer order?
Answer: No, that's a matter that was agreed between HITLER and HIMMLER.152
4. The question was repeated:
Question: When did you first learn that these Commandos had executed Jews?
Answer: I learnt that in Summer 1942.
Question: Can you still remember the occasion?
Answer: During some meeting or another as we were in the Winizza headquarters [Hitler's headquarters in the Ukraine].
Question: What was the reaction like?
Answer: We were surprised and we regarded it as unwarlike and inhuman. There was at the time a very strong opposition to this question, but nothing could be done against it.153
5. None of this is mentioned by Irving. In other words, Irving has filleted from the files the material that fitted his argument, but suppressed that which did not. Moreover it is hard to overlook that nowhere in the affidavit of April 1948 did von Below say that Hitler did not know about the 'Final Solution.'
6. In his memoirs von Below was again rather more circumspect, admitting that he should have realised what the fate of the European Jews was, if he had pondered more carefully. He described the 'many evening conversations by the fire' where Hitler 'spoke a lot of his ideas of the state which would one day rule Europe. His aim was to combat Jews and Bolsheviks and to destroy their influence on world events in every form.'154 Von Below found that Hitler's 'repeated antisemitic attacks made a particularly embarrassing impression on me.'155
Naturally after the war and from some conversations whilst imprisoned I gathered circumstantial evidence together which should have actually even then given me cause for thought, such as Hitler's ever increasing antisemitic outbursts towards the end of the war, or casual remarks by higher SS leaders.156
7. But, whilst disclaiming any actual knowledge of the 'Final Solution', von Below made clear who he thought was ultimately responsible:
Nevertheless I am completely convinced, even without written evidence, that the extermination of the Jews originated in an express instruction from Hitler, because it is inconceivable that Himmler and Göring would have undertaken such a thing without his knowledge. Certainly Himmler did not inform Hitler in every detail, but he acted in this matter with his approval and in complete accordance with him.157
8. Von Below also made clear that reports of atrocities did seep through to the Führerhauptquartier and to Hitler's staff.
During the residence in the camp in Winniza a terrible report reached me one day. A young lieutenant from the FHQ intelligence service told me that he had been witness to a mass execution near Winniza. Whilst laying connections he came across a troop of SS men in a large hollow, who were busying themselves with shooting a number of men and women. This action had made a horrifying impression on him and he had to report it. I spoke to the SS leader's representative, Gruppenführer [Karl] Wolff about the event and asked him to investigate it and report to me. After a few days he gave me an evasive answer to my question, referring to acts of sabotage in the rearward area. But he requested that I take no further steps. I was satisfied and did not follow the matter up. I never heard anything again of similar actions in the following months and years.158
9. It is important to note how the events described in 1948 have become dislocated in this account.
10. For what originally was an action that - in the 1948 affidavit - had come to von Below's attentions in a general form through official meetings in the Führerhauptquartier, now - in the later memoirs - becomes a divorced one-off atrocity reported at second hand. In the 1948 document the Einsatzgruppen killings had, according to von Below caused a general and prolonged unease amongst a number of members of staff; in his later memoirs he is supposedly tricked by Himmler's adjutant into letting the matter rest. Thus von Below argues away the guilt implicit in his 1948 confession.
11. It should be remembered that von Below was also witness to Hitler's last political testament, composed hours before he killed himself. The document bristled with antisemitism and at least one point Hitler was brutally clear about the fate of the Jews of Europe:
I also made it quite plain that, if the nations of Europe are again to be regarded as mere shares to be brought and sold by those international conspirators in money and finance, then Jewry, the race which is the real criminal in this murderous struggle, will be saddled with the responsibility. I further left no one in doubt that this time millions of Europe's Aryan peoples would not die of hunger, millions of grown men would not suffer death, nor would hundreds of thousands of women and children be allowed to be burnt and bombed to death in the towns, without the real criminal having to atone for his guilt, even if by more humane means.159
12. Hitler left his audience, including von Below, in no doubt whatsoever about the fate of the Jews who had fallen into the hands of the Nazis during the war. Irving read von Below's then unpublished memoirs whilst researching Hitler's War, yet did not feel that it was incumbent upon himself to qualify his statement that nothing was known about the 'Final Solution' in the Führerhauptquartier.160
151. Document 1856, Staatsarchiv Nürnberg, KV Prozesse, Fall 11, Akte G15, Dietrich Dokument Nr. 281, Affidavit Nicolaus von Below, 10.4.1948. Rudolf Höss [1900-1047] was the commander of Auschwitz.

Zeit nach [Russland] Kriegsbeginn davon erfuhren?' A. 'Ungefaehr. durchgeführt Jedenfalls habe ich erfahren von diesen Einsatgruppen, dass solche existierten, wo und was sie im einselnen gemacht haben, das habe ich auch nicht erfahren.' Fr. 'Kannten Sie diesen Fuehrerbefehl?' A. 'Nein, das ist eine Angelegenheit gewesen, die zwischen HITLER und HIMMLER vereinbart wurde.' (Staatsarchiv Nürnberg, KV Anklage, Interrogations, Rep. 502 VI B51, Nicholaus von Below, Interrogation 2786a, of Nicholaus von Below, 24 March 1948, 26pp, p. 10.)
153. Fr. 'Wann erfahren Sie das 1 Mal, dass diese [SD Einsatgruppen] Kommandos Exekutionen der Juden durchgefuert haben?'' A. 'Das habe ich erfahren im Sommer 1942.' Fr. 'Wissen Sie noch der Anlass?'

(Ibid., pp. 10-11.
154. 'Den vielen abendlichen Gesprächen am Kamin ... Er sprach viel über seine Vorstellung von dem Staat, der Europa einmal regieren sollte. Sein Ziel war es, Juden und Bolschewisten zu bekämpfen und deren Einfluß auf das Weltgeschehen in jeder Beziehung zu zerstören.' (von Below, p. 370).
155. 'Besonders peinlich berühten mich die wiederholten antisemitischen Ausfälle.' (von Below, p. 416).
156. 'Natürlich habe ich nach den Krieg, auch bei manchen Gesprächen in der Gefangenschaft, Indizien aus den Kriegsjahren zusammengetragen, die mir eigentlich schon damals hätten zu denken geben müssen, etwa Hitlers sich zu Kriegsende immer noch steigernde antisemitische Ausbrüche oder beiläufige Bemerkungen hoher SS-Führer.' (von Below, p. 291).
157. 'Allerdings bin ich fest überzeugt davon, auch ohne schriftliche Beweise, daß die Vernichtung der Juden auf eine ausdrückliche Anweisung Hitlers zurückgeht, da es undenkbar ist, daß Himmler und Göring so etwas ohne sein Wissen unternommen hätten. Sicher hat Himmler Hitler nicht über jede Einzelheit unterrichtet, aber in dieser Angelegenheit mit seiner Billigung und in gänzlicher Übereinstimmung mit ihm gehandelt.' (ibid.).
158. 'Während des Aufenthaltes im Lager von Winniza erreichte mich eines Tages eine erschreckende Meldung. Ein junger Leutnant aus dem FHQ-Nachrichtenzug erzählte mir, daß er in der Nähe von Winniza Zeuge einer Massenexekution geworden sei. Beim Verlegen von Nachrichtenverbindungen sei er in einer größeren Bodenfalte auf einen Truppe SS-Leute gestoßen, der damit beschäftigt war, eine Anzahl Männer und Frauen zu erschießen. Er habe einen grauenhaften Eindruck von dieser Aktion erhalten und müsse darüber Meldung machen. Ich sprach mit dem Verbindungsmann zur SS-Führung Gruppenführer Wolff über diesen Vorgang, bat ihn, den Vorfall zu überprüfen und mir zu berichten. Nach einigen Tagen gab er mir eine sehr zweideutige Antwort auf meine Frage und verwies auf Sabotagehandlungen im rückwärtigen Gebiet. Aber er bat mich, keine weiteren Schritte zu unternehmen. Ich gab mich zufrieden und spürte dem Vorgang nicht weiter nach. Ich habe im Laufe der nächsten Monate und Jahre nie wieder von ähnlichen Aktionen gehört.' (von Below, p. 320).

Obama Faces Pressure From Left on Housing Regulator
When will the White House finally have something to say about President Barack Obama's pick to run the FHFA?
That question is on the mind of 45 House Democrats. The lawmakers, led by Reps. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) and John Tierney (D., Mass.), sent a letter on Thursday to President Barack Obama urging him to nominate a director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency–-the federal regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"We believe your re-election is a prime opportunity to put forth a new candidate who is ready and willing to implement all of Congress' directives to meet the critical challenges still facing our nation's housing-finance markets," the lawmakers wrote.
The agency's acting director, Edward DeMarco, has been criticized by Democrats on Capitol Hill, administration officials and liberal groups, all of whom have been calling on Mr. Obama to replace Mr. DeMarco.
Representatives for the White House and Mr. DeMarco were not immediately available for comment.
Why all the fuss about a seemingly obscure regulator? The most prominent area of conflict has been the FHFA's refusal to accept the Obama administration's offer to subsidize the cost of debt forgiveness for troubled homeowners.
Obama administration officials argued that Fannie and Freddie could actually save money by doing so but Mr. DeMarco said no, arguing that any potential savings would not be large enough to overcome other costs.
As Developments reported in December, the White House has been exploring potential leaders for the agency.
But the matter does not appear to be especially urgent for the administration as it focuses on confirming leaders for cabinet-level agencies such as the Treasury Department.
Another issue is that it may be difficult to find a FHFA nominee who could clear the Senate, where Republicans are likely to be skeptical of any choice: The administration's first choice to run the FHFA, former North Carolina banking regulator Joseph Smith, withdrew his name more than two years ago in the face of intense Republican opposition.
Many on the left would like Mr. Obama to use a recess appointment to install Mr. DeMarco's replacement. But that outcome is now highly unlikely, now after a federal court ruled that Mr. Obama's use of that method to install three members of a federal labor panel was unconstitutional.

From perfect home and away to Ryan Miller's outstanding GAA, there's plenty of numbers of note from around the NHL.
Numbers never tell the full story…but they can sure fit the bill in a blog. Here's what happened, statistically speaking, heading into Halloween night: The New Jersey Devils (6-0-0) and Pittsburgh Penguins (6-0-0) are perfect on the road.

As the last line of defense, goaltender is already a tough position to play, but for these 10, the 2009-10 season has added challenges.
It's generally accepted that no one is under more pressure in hockey – or in any sport – than the goaltenders. The relentless intensity; the magnification of any mistake; the responsibility that comes with being your team's last line of defense…it's a big burden to carry, both physically and mentally.

Maybe these little-known stats will help you prepare for the fantasy season, while the real one is on the horizon.
If you've grown tired of hearing about the Phoenix Coyotes' excruciatingly slow death in bankruptcy court and can't handle witnessing another implosion of the NHL Players' Association (the third time in four years, if anyone's counting), here's a 2009-10 fantasy pool-friendly flashback to last season, offered up in a "Did you know…" fashion: Everyone knows Alex Ovechkin led the NHL last season with 56 goals in 79 games.

Amongst the madness of the first few days of UFAdom, there were a few sane deals that look good to work out for both sides at the right price.
Trying to decide which NHL teams got the best bargains in the early days of unrestricted free agency is a surreal experience. With hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts – in just a few days, remember – it's sometimes difficult to envision anyone being worth that much cash.

Maine town to consider mandatory gun ownership
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 5:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 2:33 p.m.
BYRON, Maine (AP) — Another Maine town is considering making gun ownership mandatory.
Byron Head Selectman Anne Simmons-Edmunds said Thursday that all three members of the board favor the measure and she expects residents to approve it at next week's town meeting.
The article asks, "Shall the town of Byron vote to require all households to have firearms and ammunition to protect the citizens?"
Simmons-Edmunds tells the Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/Wylqpc ) most households in town probably already have a gun.
She says approving the measure will "prevent someone from coming into our town and trying to restrict our rights."
Byron, in northwest Maine, has a population of about 140 people.
Selectmen in the central Maine town of Sabattus earlier this week rejected a resident's proposal to require all homes to have firearms.

Box Jellyfish

The tentacles of a box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) trail behind it and can reach 15 feet (4.6 meters) in length. Found in northern Australia and adjacent waters, a sting from this species can be deadly. This species of box jellyfish, the largest, can have as many as 60 tentacles.
Crab on a Sea Fan

A crab crawls on the red tentacles of a sea fan in Fiji waters. Sea fans, also known as gorgonians, catch plankton in their polyps, which microscopic zooxanthellae then turn into gorgonian food. Sea fans also provide shelter and camouflage for reef life.

A cryptic teardrop crab (Pelia mutica) seeks refuge inside a sponge near Bonaire Island in the Caribbean. Relying on camouflage, the crab's bright red carapace averages only 0.5 inches (1.3 centimeters) in length and can be covered by tunicates or sponges.
Nudibranch Eggs

Ribbons of red nudibranch eggs curl near Malaysia's Mabul Island. Nudibranchs, also called sea slugs, lay their eggs on the seafloor, attached to coral or rocks. Although a nudibranch is a simultaneous hermaphrodite (possessing both male and female reproductive organs), it reproduces by finding a partner. Millions of eggs can be found in one egg spiral.
Shrimp and Anchor Coral

This close-up of a colony of white-spotted ascidians (Pycnoclavella diminuta) in Indonesian waters resembles aliens ready to feed. Instead, these ascidians, or sea squirts, are filter-feeding animals with one siphon to pull in water and another to discharge it. Adults remain rooted to the same spot their entire lives.

Majestic in purple, a spotted cleaner shrimp in the waters off Bonaire Island in the Caribbean works hard for its customers. This cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus) associates with a sea anemone and attracts fish from which it cleans and eats detritus such as parasites and algae. Such a symbiotic relationship benefits both the shrimp and the fish.

SAN JOSE -- A young man from San Jose was critically injured in a single-car crash on a winding rural road Friday afternoon, and officials said he is not expected to survive.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a green 1996 Acura Integra was traveling north on San Felipe Road about two miles south of the southernmost residential street in Evergreen Valley when the driver struck a power pole at about 12:50 p.m.
"We think the vehicle was going too fast into a right bend," said CHP Officer D.J. Sarabia. "The driver lost control and broadsided the pole, and as the pole was falling down, it caused the car to roll onto its roof."
View Jan. 18 crash in a larger map
The driver suffered major injuries that are not considered life-threatening, Sarabia said, while the passenger seat in the front seat was in grave condition.
Two passengers in the rear seats walked away with complaints of pain, Sarabia said.
All of the people in the car were from San Jose, 18 to 20 years old, Sarabia said.
