O'Boyle will run in New York City marathon as member of MDA team in honor of late niece
Aug 16, 2013
Photo GalleryMDA Summer Camp WebsiteMDA Summer Camp VideoWading River, N.Y. - The Stony Brook women's basketball team visited with Camp DeWolfe, the local Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) camp this past week. The Seawolves handed out Stony Brook t-shirts, did tie-dye arts and crafts and shot hoops with the campers. "It was a great experience for our team to spend time at the MDA camp," women's basketball head coach Beth O'Boyle said. "The spirit and energy of the campers is truly inspiring, and it was neat to see our players interact with them as they learned from each other and, most importantly, had fun." The visit was something that hit close to home for O'Boyle, who lost her niece to the disease last year after a courageous battle and will be running in the New York City Marathon with her brother this November to raise funds for the MDA in her memory."She continues to be an inspiration to me, and I'm thrilled our players had the chance to be inspired by such a wonderful group of people," O'Boyle commented.The MDA provides a week-long overnight camp for children ages 6-17 who suffer from the disease. Campers have the opportunity to meet other children sharing the same needs and experiences in an environment created specifically for them. At MDA camp, children can engage in a variety of activities including horseback riding, arts and crafts and swimming.

The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have taught that "marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children" ("The Family: A Proclamation to the World," Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102). While this family unit is the ideal, many Church members find themselves in a variety of other circumstances. Some are not married, but have good support from their parents or siblings. Others may not have support from an extended family. The gospel of Jesus Christ was given by God to bless all His children, without exception, regardless of the family situations in which they find themselves. The gospel provides a brotherhood and sisterhood to strengthen and help all God's children.
Additional Information
Our Heavenly Father designed the gospel of Jesus Christ to help and strengthen families, and the family is central to His plan for His children. Each person on the earth is part of the great family of God the Father. Those who join the Church become part of another great fellowship, a true fellowship of brothers and sisters who have chosen to follow Jesus Christ.
In an address to single adult members of the Church, President Gordon B. Hinckley said:
"Because you do not happen to be married does not make you essentially different from others. All of us are very much alike in appearance and emotional responses, in our capacity to think, to reason, to be miserable, to be happy, to love and be loved.
"You are just as important as any others in the scheme of our Father in Heaven, and under His mercy no blessing to which you otherwise might be entitled will forever be withheld from you.
"You are precious and important to Him. You are precious and important to the Church. You are precious and important to all of us" ("To Single Adults," Ensign, June 1989, 72).
Prophetic Teachings
The opportunities we all have for caring and fellowshipping in the ward or branch are boundless if we are willing to give of ourselves in love and service.
"After Divorce: Help for Latter-day Saint Men"
Men face challenges after divorce that are not often discussed, but there is much they can do to find healing.
Both single and married Church members can take steps to help singles feel they genuinely belong in our wards.
Members and missionaries in the Lexington Kentucky Stake have found a formula for success in baptizing and friendshipping adults who are single.
"A Conversation with Single Adults"
From an address delivered on 22 September 1996 at the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
Older widows and widowers find it takes strength to endure without their companions, but life still has much to offer.
This is an edited version of a talk given 26 February 1989 at a Single Adults fireside satellite broadcast.
"The Church Is for All People"
This is an edited version of a talk given 26 February 1989 at a Single Adults fireside satellite broadcast.
No one road map serves every Latter-day Saint. But basic principles can successfully guide each individual.
Following my divorce, my children and I found solace in simple gospel practices.
Young adulthood is a crucial time to seek out friends who make it easier to live the gospel.

It is perfectly valid in Django to use UTF-8 strings, so this is a legitimate bug. What should be happening is where the short description is output (in the admin), it needs to be passed through force_unicode().

Pulling Doped-YAG Single-crystal Fibers. Edition No. 1
- February 2009
- 116 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
Pulling bulk crystal into fiber is suitable for
dvice applications in optical communications because
of its structural similarity to silica fiber. Among
fiber growth techniques, the laser-heated pedestal
growth method (LHPG) was adopted. It is crucible
free and can therefore produce high-quality single
crystals. However, interface loss of the fiber is
one of the main causes of optical loss. In order to
reduce the loss, a proper method to clad the fiber
is important for high performance device. For laser
application, high-efficient Nd:YAG lasers were
demonstrated using gradient-index crystal fibers.
For ASE and optical amplifier applications, Cr4+:YAG
crystal fiber was studied due to its fluorescence
just covering the low loss window of optical fiber.
To reduce the fiber diameter and propagation loss, a
novel cladding technique, codrawing LHPG, was
developed. A double-clad fiber was successfully
grown by the technique. As much as 2.36 mW of ASE
with a bandwidth of 265 nm was demonstrated. Up to
16-dB of gross gain at 1470 nm was also achieved. It
is the first transition metal-doped fiber amplifier
in the optical communication band.

In 1833, The United States didn't have an East Coast yet, for lack of a West Coast. The gigantic Louisiana Territory, acquired some 30 years earlier from the French, gave America dominion over the Mississippi basin, but Mexican land and the Oregon territory, claimed by Great Britain, still stood between the US and its 'Manifest Destiny' – to stretch "from sea to shining sea".
That's a line from Katharine Lee Bates' song 'America the Beautiful', composed in 1893 when the west was won, mainly by the Mexican-American War of 1846-'48. It would be many decades before all the lands between Mississippi and Pacific would enter the Union as full-fledged states, but the iconic shape of America's lower 48 states was there.
In 1833, other icons were still vying for public acknowledgement. For example, this Eagle Map of the United States, Engraved For Rudiments of National Knowledge.
The map represents America as an eagle (it looks more like a dove), with its head coinciding with New England (except Maine), its eye with Vermont, its neckline following Lakes Ontario and Erie, the wing outlines Lakes Huron and Superior (and further west the eventual Canadian-American border at the 49th parallel).
The eagle's breast follows the Atlantic seaboard, its talons form Florida – even though the claws protrude far from the coastline, and somewhat ominously, towards Cuba.
The real reason why this particular iconic representation of America's national bird never caught on, is in the tailfeathers – shaped to follow a border no longer in existence by 1848. The western borders of the subsequent independent and later US state of Texas are recognisable, for now as the dividing line between the US and Mexico. The feathers follow the US inland border as it moves north, and disappears out of sight at the area disputed with Great Britain.
Meanwhile, the great inland empire of Louisiana is already being divided up into US states, with Louisiana and Missouri separated from the 'mainland' of the formerly French lands.
This map was published in Philadelphia in 1833 by Carey & Hart, in a now extremely rare atlas, the Rudiments of National Knowledge, Presented To The Youth of the United States, And To Enquiring Foreigners, By A Citizen Of Pennsylvania.
An image of this map was sent in by antique maps dealer Barry Ruderman, who recently put an original copy of the map up for sale. It's yours for just under 20,000 dollars, indicating just how rare it is. "This is the first example of the map we have seen on the market in the past 10 years," states the relevant page at Ruderman's website www.raremaps.com – not in any way affiliated with Strange Maps, I hasten to add. It just so happens that in this case, the rare map also is a strange one.

Landon Donovan will not play for the U.S. national team in two upcoming World Cup qualifying matches because of an injured left knee, adding to what will be a pressure-filled few days for the Americans.
U.S. Soccer said Tuesday that Donovan -- who has more goals, assists and starts than any player in program history -- will likely not be replaced on what was a 24-man roster for the upcoming qualifiers, first on Friday on the road against Antigua and Barbuda, then in Kansas City on Oct. 16 against Guatemala.
Donovan was injured while playing Saturday for the Los Angeles Galaxy. He was selected by U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann for these qualifiers anyway, and the team's athletic trainers wanted him to be evaluated one more time before he started training.
Donovan had scrapped plans for an MRI in Los Angeles on Monday because he thought his knee had improved.
"Landon was very optimistic over the weekend when his knee was feeling much better, but now he needs time to recover," Klinsmann said.
Both the national team and the Galaxy said Donovan was returning to Los Angeles for further evaluation.
The NCAA banned the Texas Southern football and men's basketball teams from the postseason, saying it came close to levying the so-called "death penalty" against the school for repeated rules violations and for lying about imposing sanctions on its own.
The Division I Infractions Committee said it found a lack of institutional control and outlined problems spanning 13 sports over a seven-year period, including booster-related recruiting violations, academic improprieties, the use of ineligible athletes and exceeding scholarship limits. The basketball team was banned from the 2012-13 postseason and the football team in 2013 and 2014.
The anticipated matchup between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods on Wednesday might not count for much after both lost their opening matches at the eight-player World Golf Finals in Antalya, Turkey.
McIlroy lost to Matt Kuchar by six shots and Woods fell to Charl Schwartzel by one shot in the $5.2 million event. In the other group of the medal match-play format, Lee Westwood beat Webb Simpson by one shot and Justin Rose defeated Hunter Mahan by four strokes.
Center Dwight Howard has been cleared for limited five-on-five scrimmages with the Los Angeles Lakers in his latest step back from offseason back surgery.
Rafael Nadal, in rehabilitation from a left knee injury, said he has been more encouraged recently about his progress and hopes to resume practice soon. He didn't rule out playing next month in the ATP World Tour Finals or Davis Cup final but added that such a quick return would be difficult.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has temporarily suspended Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after the former middleweight champion failed a drug test. The commission made the standard procedural move. Chavez tested positive for marijuana use last month.

This weatherman is probably wishing the camera hadn't panned to the right during his segment on "heavy winds
A Romanian TV weatherman has put a new spin on the phrase "having sand kicked in your face," after he was seen faking a storm during a live news report.
The Metro reports that the reporter was filing a story about heavy winds along the Black Sea coast, which were gusting at more than 60 mph.
At least, the winds were blowing that hard before the weatherman began filing his report. But by the time he went live, the winds had apparently died down.
So in an attempt to recreate the stormy conditions, the reporter had a production assistant begin kicking sand in his direction. The reporter then told viewers, "The wind blows with incredible power; there are moments when it is impossible to stand up here. The wind blows the sand at over 60 km per hour. It blew away the beach umbrellas and the tourists had to leave in a hurry."
However, the production assistant failed to get out of camera range, meaning that his "special effect" efforts were caught live on camera.
Interestingly, the station hasn't reprimanded the pair. Instead, they released a statement claiming the footage "was not doctored" but that the whole affair was nothing more than "a bad joke made by the cameraman."
As Gawker notes that the station itself is called "The Reality TV." So, even if the artificial "sand storm" wasn't meant to fool viewers, it still seems a bit silly.

intuitions, heuristics, and utilitarianism
a common objection to utilitarianism is that it clashes with our common moral intuitions. understanding the role that heuristics play in moral judgments undermines this objection. it also indicates why we should not use john rawls' model of reflective equilibrium as the basis for testing normative moral theories.

Buzz Links: What the 'Kung Fu Panda' Reviews Are Saying
In the march of summer movies, this weekend's family offering is "Kung Fu Panda," an animated film from DreamWorks. The all-star lineup of voices includes Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie and Jackie Chan. Mr. Black voices the central character, Po, a clumsy panda who becomes an unlikely martial arts hero in ancient China.
Reviews so far have been generally favorable, though some dissenters are finding it too syrupy.
Here's a sampling of reviews:
- The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern: It "begins with a promise of edgy wit…But the film soon settles into a succession of ritual spoofs of the kung fu genre, and peddles the sort of cloying preachments about self-esteem and human potential — panda potential — that little kids hear all the time on TV." [WSJ]
- Manohla Dargis in the New York Times: Film is "high concept with a heart. Even better, this animated feature from DreamWorks is so consistently diverting and visually arresting that it succeeds in transcending its storybook clichés." [NYT]
- Los Angeles Times: "For a DreamWorks production, especially, it looks fantastic…" but the believe-in-yourself message "is annoyingly familiar and frankly overdue for a serious debunking, but it's not about to happen here." [LA Times]
- Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly: "Just about all animated movies teach you to Believe in Yourself … but the image of a face-stuffing panda-turned-yowling Bruce Lee dervish is as unlikely, and touching, an advertisement for that message as we've seen in quite some time." [Entertainment Weekly]
- Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times: " 'Kung Fu Panda' is not one of the great recent animated films. The story is way too predictable…" [Chicago Sun-Times]

All this St. Patty's day stuff really got me thinking… Am I Lucky?
Luck is, by definition, having or marked by good luck; fortunate. While I certainly believe that to be successful in business requires perhaps a little luck, I really believe in work. Hard work. I enjoy what I do for a living, and have been successful at it, so I guess that makes me lucky to some degree. I came across a sign that said, "THE HARDER YOU WORK, THE LUCKIER YOU GET."
Huh. Imagine that.
Still, having your pic made with a Leprechaun can't hurt, right?

Proact lays out timeline for Dallas ISD superintendent search
Proact Search, the firm hired by the Dallas ISD board to oversee the search for a new superintendent, hopes you'll take time during the busy holiday season to weigh in on what kind of person is needed to lead the district to greatness. The firm laid out a timeline Tuesday night that includes "stakeholder engagement activities" for later this month and into December.
With input from the nine trustees and the public, Proact will create a profile of the person sought for the position.
"We don't want anyone to say 'I had something to say but nobody asked me,'" Gary Solomon, Proact CEO, said during a workshop Tuesday with the board of trustees. "What we will set up is one-on-one conversations, small group activities, large group activities, online activities, so anybody and everybody from the community who wants to have a say in what the next superintendent should look like will have the opportunity to do so."
Candidates would be recruited in January and February, with an application due date currently set for Feb. 17. Solomon said he's getting calls daily from people asking about the position.
Solomon and Jim Huge, chief strategy officer for Proact, asked the trustees for initial input into what they want in a new superintendent. The members in attendance — Bernadette Nutall, Mike Morath, Nancy Bingham, Eric Cowan, Bruce Parrott and board president Lew Blackburn - shared their thoughts, and Cowan also referred Solomon and Huge to this DMN report on what the board wants.
Huge plans to also set up one-on-one meetings with the trustees next week so that they can elaborate on the qualities they want in a superintendent and to get the names of individuals and groups who they feel should be encouraged to weigh in.
Solomon said Proact will aim to present the board with seven to 12 candidates at the end of February. Candidate names will remain confidential until a lone finalist is selected, whose name will be released — as required under state law — several weeks before the board votes on hiring that person.
Under Proact's timeline, the new superintendent would be selected in April, which fits Blackburn's desire to have the new leader in place in July.

A classic, refined look can be achieved with the slim lines and Olde Bronze finish of this 4-light bath fixture.
This bath fixture from Kichler features slim lines and classic geometric shapes. The warm glow of the shades is created by the light umber etched glass used to diffuse the bulbs. The clean lines of the fixtures are emphasized by an Olde Bronze finish. This sconce can be mounted with the glass shades opening in either direction.
Shop all Kichler
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I had mine installed upside down from what the photo shows and it is lovely. Less dust to collect on the light bulbs if installed the way we did it and since it's being used in the bathroom, over a sink, the light is being directed more usefully that way. I put in the high-efficiency lights (giving true color for make-up application) but I might switch out the rounded bulbs for ones that look more like a flame because I can just see the ends of the bulbs but then I'm shorter (5'2") so a taller person might not see them. It doesn't detract from the overall appearance of the fixture. I would definitely recommend this product.
soft light, contemporary design
soft light with contempory design
This looked like the perfect fixture to complete my arduous bathroom makeover. It was the last thing to be installed and the light bar was soldered crooked.

The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin
The Westing Game Language and Communication Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"F-for p-plain g-g-grain shed." Chris spoke slowly. He had practiced his recitation over and over, hour after lonely hour. "G-grain--oats--Otis Amber. F-for, shed--she, F-Ford. F-Ford lives in f-four D." (14.43)
When you consider how many other wrong answers are spouted off by other characters and quickly forgotten or tossed aside, it's tempting to pay more attention to Chris's "recitation" because he's worked so hard on it. More than any other description, this passage really points out the cruelty of his condition and the courage of his spirit. Can you imagine working for hours just to articulate one sentence? How much do we admire Chris for that?
Quote #8
What a spectacle she made, her wide rear end sticking out, singing in that tuneless, nasal voice. The derisive smiles soon faded as, pair by pair, the heirs heard their code words sung. (23.70)
When we're reading literature, we sometimes forget that singing can be a powerful communication tool too, because we get so focused on written text. Here, though, because everyone's been working so hard to figure out tiny elements of a larger idea, they're doubly stunned – first, by the song, and second, by the realization that they've been working with the wrong medium. It also makes sense that Sydelle would choose to reveal that she and Angela know everybody else's clues in the most dramatic way possible; she loves attention, even though she doesn't always realize when it's unflattering.
Quote #9
"Cheer up, my friend, the game's not over yet," Sandy whispered. "You still can win. I hope you do." (24.15)
This speech Sandy makes to Turtle is important both when he says it, right after the heirs have found out their answers are wrong, and when she remembers it before the trial scene. Her memory of his encouragement, combined with that last wink he gave her, makes Turtle think that something's up, and the game's still afoot. No one else realizes the inheritance is still up for grabs; with this reminder, Sandy points Turtle in the right direction to figure out the puzzle's solution.

800 feet up it is the highest vantage point in western Europe
James from Essex proposed to his girlfriend Laura this morning - the first couple to get engaged at the Shard.
Thankfully she said yes.
"I was just so surprised. I'm speechless, I can't believe it," she said afterwards. "I'm so happy and so excited. I had no idea whatsoever, didn't have any idea."

Height: 5'6
Weight: 155
Position: Forward
Team: Waterloo
College: Minnesota
Cammarata is as dangerous as they come in the offensive zone, as he's a threat to beat you with his shot, moves, or passing. Cammarata absolutely tore up at the USHL over the past two years, earning him the USA Hockey Junior Player of the Year Award in 2013. The future Minnesota Gopher scored 162 points in 119 career USHL games.
Cammarata's puck control skills are what make him such a dangerous player; he often is creating space for his teammates or scoring opportunities for himself. Cammarata is an adequate skater with good agility. He has demonstrated his capability to turn on a dime and accelerate to open spaces quickly.
Cammarata skates with his head on a swivel, always surveying the ice for possibilities. Cammarata has a deceptively hard shot, which he can release quickly, and with many different looks. Occasionally, Cammarata gets a little bit too neat with his playmaking, but overall he has a great understanding of the game. Cammarata must continue to progress in the defensive zone as this could be an obstacle in his development.
While his small stature will keep him from getting drafted early, Cammarata could be a great value for franchise later in the draft.

Automatic opening a USB disk on Sun Ray
By user12625760 on Mar 25, 2008
One of my users today had a bit of a hissy fit today when she plugged in her USB thumb drive into the Sun Ray and it did nothing. That is it did nothing visible. Behind the scenes the drive had been mounted somewhere but there was no realistic way she could know this.
So I need a way to get the file browser to open when the drive is inserted. A quick google finds " "USB Drive" daemon for Sun Ray sessions" which looks like the answer. The problem I have with this is that it polls to see if there is something mounted. Given my users never log out this would mean this running on average every second. Also the 5 second delay just does not take into account the attention span of a teenager.
There has to be a better way.
My solution is to use dtrace to see when the file system has been mounted and then run nautilus with that directory.
The great thing about Solaris 10 and later is that I can give the script just the privilege that allows it to run dtrace without handing out access to the world. Then of course you can then give that privilege away.
So I came up with this script. Save it. Mine is in /usr/local which in turn is a symbolic link to /tank/fs/local. Then add an entry to /etc/security/exec_attr, subsisting the correct absolute (ie one with no symbolic links in it) path in the line.
Basic Solaris User:solaris:cmd:::/tank/fs/local/bin/utmountd:privs=dtrace_kernel
This gives the script just enough privileges to allow it to work. It then drops the extra privilege so that when it runs nautilus it has no extra privileges.
Then you just have to arrange for users to run the script when they login using:
pfexec /usr/local/bin/utmountd
I have done this by creating a file called /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/utmountd that contains these lines:
pfexec /usr/local/bin/utmountd & trap "kill $!" EXIT
I leave making this work for uses of CDE as an exercise for the reader.

TORONTO � Shane Victorino was out of the Red Sox lineup on Monday after having played in four straight games � two for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday and Friday, two for the Red Sox on Saturday and Sunday. Brock Holt was in right field in his place.
�If needed, he could play today,� Boston manager John Farrell said, �but we want to play cautious.�
Victorino had missed almost two months with lingering discomfort in his hamstring and lower back when he returned over the weekend. Because the Red Sox need all the contributions they can get, Victorino is expected to play four out of every five days. That would line him up to play the rest of the series this week against Toronto, including a day game Thursday after a night game Wednesday.
In his first two games back with the Red Sox, Victorino had two singles and a double and scored a run. Those three hits were three more hits than Victorino had in the first month of his stop-and-go rehab stint at Pawtucket and Low-A Lowell, though he did have three hits in two games on Thursday and Friday at McCoy Stadium to wrap up his rehab.
�It looks like his timing is pretty good right now after not an extensive rehab assignment,� Farrell said. �Given the number of games he�s missed and how quick he�s come back to us, he�s doing a very good job.�

KOLKATA: EVEN as Reliance Retail ramps up its nationwide rollout plans, the company is developing a comprehensive manpower management policy to streamline its recruitment and retention strategy. The new policy will focus on critical areas like talent acquisition, talent transformation, talent design and talent concept of the human resources (HR) function within the company.
Confirming the development, a senior Reliance Retail official said: "The company's HR team has been given the mandate to chart out the blueprint by December 2007." The exercise is being spearheaded by Reliance Retail president and chief people officer Bijay Sahoo. The move assumes significance as Reliance Retail plans to have some 5 lakh employees on its rolls by 2010. Increasing competition and shortage of seasoned retail professionals has also taken a toll on the company with some of its top and middle management executives joining competitors like Bharti-Wal-Mart and Aditya Birla group's retail venture.

In Reply: Dr DiNicolantonio and colleagues suggest that reverse causation may be responsible for an overestimation of the risk of bleeding in individuals treated with aspirin. The increased risk of bleeding associated with the use of aspirin has been documented in many RCTs and observational studies.1 The Antithrombotic Trialists' meta-analysis of randomized trials2 shows a 54% increase in the risk of major bleeding associated with aspirin use, consistent with our findings. DiNicolantonio et al also suggest that the increased risk of bleeding among aspirin users may be partially attributable to use of over-the-counter NSAIDs. While long-term use of NSAIDs was considered in the propensity score matching, we were unable to adjust for its use.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Jessye Norman and New World fellows in John Cage's "Song Books." Photo by Rui Dios-Aidos
There are concerts and there are concerts, and then there are explosions of art, bursts of concentrated, disciplined energy that sweep in like a wind and leave everything leveled and changed.
Such was the performance I saw Feb. 9 at the New World Center of John Cage's Song Books, an astonishing experience of precisely 46 minutes that reimagined the concert enterprise in a remarkably original way and at the same time made a persuasive argument for the centrality of Cage to the idea of artistic freedom.
To say that it was more performance art than concert is to try to fit it into a category it doesn't want to occupy in the first place, and hinders its peculiar attractiveness: Following a mind going off on a kind of highly organized random journey, in which the answer Why not? is chosen more often than not, and in which there is no real discourse except the act of discoursing itself, and no point of arrival, just an ending, which while clear suggests in its very finality that this was just one of an infinite myriad of conclusions.
The Song Books was on the second half of the second of the three concerts at the New World devoted to Cage's music in the seasonal observation of the centennial of his birth in 1912. The first half featured a performance of Cheap Imitation, a recomposition of elements from Erik Satie's Socrate, accompanied by the ballets Second Hand and Enter, choreographed by Cage's life partner Merce Cunningham.
The three-movement Cheap Imitation is derived from the vocal line of Socrate, transposed up and down or run through different modes; Cunningham's original dance had used the actual Socrate, but Cage could not win the rights from Satie's publisher to arrange it for smaller forces, and so echoed it in this manner while staying faithful to its contours, which saved Cunningham the trouble of having to scrap it and do something else.

Brandon Collwes and Andrea Weber, both veterans of Cunningham's company, were the two dancers for the three movements (the original 10-dancer third movement was restructured to include choreography from Enter). The music is largely unvaried, in a macro way, throughout; it has the same basic tempo and moderate-volume from start to finish. The second movement was played by Cage himself on film (he died in 1992), playing the piano in the same steady style.
After a while, the music took on a sort of white-noise pleasantness, an unbroken, eternal line that seemingly started at some point long before the evening began and likely is going on still. It served as an effective backdrop to the dance, which was a series of stretches and poses reminiscent of tai chi and yoga, and which looked quite difficult to do.
Both dancers are in enviably good physical shape, as you would expect, and of the two, Weber seemed somewhat looser and more flexible. Her movements – both dancers wore simple leotards – were mesmerizing, pure expressions of a body responding to inner compulsion, writing the poetry of the human machine, drawing focus too on detail: Two feet prepping for a lift, a curved hand, a bent back.

In the two outer movements, the musicians of the New World Symphony performed the score, offering fragments of color as the orchestration changed with each phrase. In their shared stripped-down aesthetic, Cheap Imitation and Second Hand constitute the profoundest kind of hommage to Satie, a deeply felt rendering of the idea that less is more, and in this case, that less just is.
The Song Books, which date from 1970, is essentially a theatrical compendium of song and instrumental fragments married to Dadaesque stage business, in which much the most memorable line is that taken from Thoreau: The best kind of government is no government at all, and that is what we will have when we are ready for it. Some of the songs are actual short pieces of music, some of them are activities, such as a person walking on stage in a giant costume man's head. The songs come and go, starting when and where they like, and the overall effect is one of furious, impish invention, a kaleidoscope of ideas absolutely untrammeled by any sort of directive except one: Let's go make some art.
Michael Tilson Thomas, who spearheaded this tribute to Cage, has to be credited with putting together one of the most respectful, intelligently prepared celebrations of this singular artist's work of anyone, anywhere that I'm aware of. It's not too much to say that these three days (and Saturday night in particular) were something of a milestone for Miami as a culture-minded city. Something like Song Books could only be performed in a city that has reached a cultural critical mass, and that it came off so well says impressive things about South Florida's artistic development.

But Tilson Thomas is also a performer, and he was a fully committed member of the company that gave Song Books, a company that included stellar performers such as singers Jessye Norman and Joan La Barbara, pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin and composer Meredith Monk. They were joined by 12 New World fellows, all of whom played their various parts with enthusiasm and dedication.
The stage at the New World Center had three mini-stages at the rear with panels that served as screens for film or opened to reveal something inside, which changed constantly: Jessye Norman, singing; a man selling bird cages underneath a purple sign reading GIFT SHOP; Joan La Barbara writing at a desk; a man crouching to the ground and looking out on an unseen prairie for trouble ahead. The film fragments included snow falling near a cabin, and shots of things that had just been seen but were now being mixed up, such as a particularly brilliant bit in which a man spelled out "Marcel Duchamp" on flash cards, which were then rebroadcast in reverse and then in random order.
At the side were two pianos at which Hamelin and pianist Marnie Hauschildt played bits from Cage's Winter Music for piano, mostly clusters and angular phrases (the pianists' hands were filmed and replayed on the screens as well). It was all part of a larger theatrical motion in which there were various bits of silliness such as Tilson Thomas chopping vegetables and sticking them into a blender, or sitting in a suit jacket covering himself in Post-It notes. At any one time, there were at least five or six different things happening, only some of them singing: A trombonist marched in, playing something parade-like; a cellist and a violinist traded phrases; a man in a hat bounced around on a pogo stick; a newspaper was torn into long strips.

Norman, Monk and La Barbara did most of the singing, and Norman happily showed that she is incapable of singing anything without making it sound beautiful, and it elevated all of the music in the score. At one point, Monk came downstage to repeat the Thoreau line numerous times, and one of the three stages opened to show Tilson Thomas and nine other men singing the same line loudly and forcefully, like a group of militant protesters on their way to man the barricades. Over it all, two black flags of anarchy waved in an artificial breeze, and at precisely 46:00 the performance came to an abrupt end as Tilson Thomas tossed aside a rolled-up newspaper ball.
The hall was full of leading Miami arts figures, and they and the rest of the audience are unlikely ever to forget what they saw. It was nothing short of amazing, and it's also not likely that you would be able to see it again live (it was being recorded for online presentation), or ever see it done this well again. The audience gave it a ferocious acclimation, and it was well-deserved.
Strangely enough for someone considered to be an artist eternally mocking the pieties of his time, both these pieces showed Cage's admiration for Satie and Thoreau, creators as original and inimitable as Cage was. People seeking to understand Cage by looking at musical predecessors and contemporaries such as Stravinsky are looking in the wrong place.
Cage belongs to that most rarified of all creative heritages, that of the entirely unafraid artist, listening only to his inner promptings and following it whatever the cost, without compromise, because to do anything else is not to be an artist. Like them, too, he is unlikely to ever enjoy widespread popularity, but his example, like theirs, is immense and permanently salutary for those who wish to dedicate their lives to the artistic enterprise.

The Jungle

The Jungle Visions of America Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Beyond this dump there stood a great brickyard, with smoking chimneys. First they took out the soil to make bricks, and then they filled it up again with garbage, which seemed to Jurgis and Ona a felicitous arrangement, characteristic of an enterprising country like America. […] This, too, seemed to the newcomers an economical arrangement; for they did not read the newspapers, and their heads were not full of troublesome thoughts about "germs." (2.23)
This dump can work as a metaphor for Sinclair's perception of America. Mike Scully, powerful businessman, has this plan where he digs out the soil of Packingtown to make bricks. Then, he fills the giant hole with garbage and covers it over as reclaimed land. So, even though it looks good, underneath it's all decaying trash. Metaphorically speaking, this describes Jurgis's experience of the United States: when he first arrived, he is immediately impressed by the modern machinery he sees all over the place. It's only after some personal experience that he realizes all of this fine-looking new stuff is hiding a rotten center.
Quote #5
For every one that Jurgis spoke to assured him that it was a waste of time to seek employment for the old man in Packingtown. Szedvilas told him that the packers did not even keep the men who had grown old in their own service – to say nothing of taking on new ones. And not only was it the rule here, it was the rule everywhere in America, so far as he knew. (4.4)
Early on, Jurgis's father absolutely insists on looking for a job. No one wants to employ such an old man, though. There is no Social Security or pension to support Antanas in his old age (Social Security was not signed into law until 1935), so he has to keep trying to avoid being a burden to his family. People still differ about what kind of work older people should be allowed to do. For example, there is discussion about changing the retirement age from 65 to 70 or even higher. Now that Americans are routinely living into their eighties, why should people in some professions be forced from their jobs by an arbitrary number? At the same time, as a nation, Americans work incredibly hard. We have many fewer vacation days per year than most European nations, for example. Shouldn't there be a time when we are just allowed to relax and enjoy life? Poor Antanas is living before any of these security nets for older people are in place, though, so he essentially works himself to death.
Quote #6
One of the consequences of all these things was that Jurgis was no longer perplexed when he heard men talk of fighting for their rights. He felt like fighting now himself; and when the Irish delegate of the butcher-helpers' union came to him a second time, he received him in a far different spirit. A wonderful idea it now seemed to Jurgis, this of the men – that by combining they might be able to make a stand and conquer the packers! Jurgis wondered who had first thought of it; and when he was told that it was a common thing for men to do in America, he got the first inkling of a meaning in the phrase "a free country." The delegate explained to him how it depended upon their being able to get every man to join and stand by the organization, and so Jurgis signified that he was willing to do his share. Before another month was by, all the working members of his family had union cards, and wore their union buttons conspicuously and with pride. (8.14)
The amazing thing about an ideal like the American Dream is that, even if it is out of reach at the time Sinclair is writing, it is still an ideal. It is something that we can keep striving to make true. One direct way that Jurgis learns to try and create the freedom he had hoped to find by coming to America is by joining a union. Unions are not perfect in this novel: they don't help save Jurgis from poverty, and they are subject to misuse by Jurgis himself, when he uses his union membership to help rig Mike Scully's election later in the novel. Even so, the fundamental idea that workers can band together to lobby for things like higher wages, shorter work weeks, and better working conditions is a powerful concept. The union presents a much different (and more positive) vision of America than we find anywhere else in this novel, as a nation in which oppressed people can work together to make things better for themselves. What role do unions play in today's society? What perception do you have of contemporary unions?

Motorcyclist Killed in Accident on Cypress Gardens Blvd.
Published: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 4:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 4:35 p.m.
A 24-year-old Winter Haven man was killed Wednesday when his motorcycle collided with a minivan, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Robert Marczan, of Sterling Drive, was driving a Suzuki motorcycle east on Cypress Gardens Boulevard about 3:45 p.m. when the crash occurred, the Sheriff's Office said. Marczan died at the scene.
The Sheriff's Office said Marczan and Mark Bradley, 21, of Winter Haven, were traveling east on motorcycles when the driver of a Chrysler minivan, Frederick Gengler, 72, attempted to turn left from a westbound lane onto Lake Bess Road.
Bradley avoided a collision as his motorcycle slid out from under him, but Marczan struck the van on its passenger side, the Sheriff's Office said.
Gengler and Bradley were taken to Winter Haven Hospital with minor injuries.
The Sheriff's Office said that it appears both Marczan and Bradley were wearing helmets.
The eastbound lanes of Cypress Gardens Boulevard stayed closed about four hours as deputies investigated the crash.
