It is so far behind, that I can't remember if the dates are correct.Their billing center issued a statement on the news a few months ago saying that there IS a problem in that department. How can they get away with arresting people when they have admitted their billing system is flawed?It has been 8 months now and I haven't received any other letters from anyone. I am a single parent and was recently was laid off from my job and I am taking care of my mother who is a heart patient here at my house. If I get arrested for this, and go to jail and lose my kids and mother for the NTTA having a flawed billing system,I will be out of luck. They are the only family I have and they can't get me out of jail and have no one to take care of them. How can the NTTA get away with price gougingpeople with the economy the way it is? I tried to pay the bill. On time. I have no problem paying the bill with or without a late fee. But several thousand dollars just for a $68.00 toll fee. I have been told by an NTTA employee that it will go to court and I will go to jail if it is not paid in full. I thought it was illegal to put someone in jail for an outstanding bill. The bill should not even be outstanding.

Comments about Stila Jewel Eye Shadow Single, opal, 1 ea:
The greatest thing about getting this product is it arrived in 2 days. When I opened it, I had sparkly eye shadow everywhere. It was all over the case and inside the product was all broken. I believe it was old and for the price I paid I'm very disappointed. Doubt if I'll be ordering anything in the future.

Eating Well with Health Challenges -- Andrea Dunn, RD, LD, CDE -- 9/23/2003
By Andrea Dunn
It's hard enough to eat right with so many unhealthy choices out there. Adding special dietary restrictions to the mix can make proper nutrition a difficult goal. On Sept. 23, 2003, we talked about foods that can help or hurt those with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and more. Cleveland Clinic nutrition expert Andrea Dunn, RD, LD, CDE, was our guest.
The opinions expressed herein are the guest's alone and have not been reviewed by a WebMD physician. If you have questions about your health, you should consult your personal physician. This event is meant for informational purposes only.
Moderator: Welcome to WebMD University: "Eating Well Is a Start Towards Healthy Living." Our guest today is Cleveland Clinic nutrition expert Andrea Dunn, RD, LD, CDE. Today we are talking about special health challenges to eating well.
Support for this WebMD University course provided by Medical Mutual.
Moderator: Welcome Andrea.
Dunn: Hello, class, how's everyone today?
Moderator: We have a classroom full of students here who are anxious to get their questions answered. Let's get started.
Member: My interest is meal planning, especially breakfast. I have hypertension.
Dunn: You're already doing a great thing by eating breakfast already. One of the big issues with fighting high blood pressure through diet is getting enough fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. So consider what you like to eat first thing in the morning. Some ideas:
Member: Protein carries me longer than carbs, but fat is a big no-no.
Dunn: Many people do enjoy a protein serving at breakfast and like you, it does seem to stay with them so they don't get hungry midmorning. But don't forgo the carbohydrates at breakfast, because carbohydrate is the brain's main source of energy. So some carb in the morning can actually get that brain going.
Member question: I have diabetes 2, high cholesterol, hypertension (am on meds for all), am lactose intolerant, and take a pancreatic enzyme to digest fats, and also have severe depression. I feel overwhelmed and cornered when I try to plan a meal. Where do you start?
Dunn: When you have multiple medical problems the first start might be in what you can tolerate. So being lactose intolerant, trying some of the milk replacement products that are on the market, such as the soy milk or the rice milk might be a good start if you like milk on your cereal.
As far as the diabetes element and diet, looking at the total amount of carbohydrates that you eat each day and each meal will help you in managing your blood glucoses. A heart healthy diet is low in fat and overall salt, so it may not be as unmanageable as you may be thinking. A lot of it, though, may be working with what you can tolerate.
Member question: I leave too early in the morning for breakfast. What's a good alternative?
Dunn: That's a good question. When you're in a hurry in the morning, there are a couple of approaches you can take.
Number one is planning the night before. Getting your breakfast out -- if you do want to eat breakfast -- and packing your lunch the night before, is going to help you get out the door faster.
Another approach is to prepare or have foods ready that you can grab and go. I'm not a big fan of eating in the car, unless you're a passenger, because I think you should really concentrate on driving (unless where you're driving is better than my Cleveland traffic). The rest of us should be paying attention to the road. So maybe you're thinking in terms of taking something to eat once you get to work.
If you like cold cereal, some people would put cold cereal, without the milk, of course, in a small baggie. For a protein source you could throw in a half ounce of nuts. You could nosh on that at work and have a decent breakfast. Yogurt's a great grab and go. Some people throw cold cereal or low-fat granola on top of yogurt and have that for breakfast.
If you like a hot item and you have a microwave at work you could take a tortilla, roll in a stick of low-fat string cheese and melt that in the microwave once you get to work. Have a piece of fruit with that.
Member question: Aren't tortillas bad for you?
Dunn: I'm not sure what your reference is in thinking tortillas are bad. I myself don't really categorize foods as good or bad. Certainly a tortilla can be very low in calories. A small tortilla, whether it's corn or wheat based, might only have 80 calories in it. If you buy them very low in fat it's going to be what you put on top of them that's going to build the calories. Adding a slice of low-fat cheese and cut-up vegetables sounds healthy to me.
Member question: Is it better for a type 1 diabetic with heart disease to consume oatmeal or protein sources for breakfast?
Dunn: There's no reason why you couldn't have both of them if you wanted to. With type 1 diabetes the biggest goal is to match the carbohydrate in the meal with the correct amount of insulin, so depending upon the insulin regimen that you are following, you certainly could have oatmeal in the morning if you wanted it.
Research has not shown that having a protein source prolongs the rise in blood glucoses, though certainly having a protein source with a meal might make you feel fuller or give you some satiety. So the bottom line is, if it's something that you want, let's work it into your meal plan.
Member question: I'm on Novolog insulin three times a day with meals, and Lantus at night. I have a real "mental" problem with the idea of no snacks. The doctor says three meals, eat them and inject, or don't eat and don't inject. Any ideas for non-food snacks I can use to get over this hump of, 'It's HOURS 'til the next meal - I better eat more now,' feeling?
Dunn: You might want to talk to your doctor about including the snacks that you want and how much insulin you would need to inject for the snacks. Because you're the one that has to live with this style of eating, so it makes sense if you want snacks you should plan them in.
There are many low-carbohydrate type foods you could try as fillers. Certainly a serving of most of your vegetables, as in fresh vegetables, are going to be only four or five grams of carbohydrate. Dipping them into something like salsa is not going to add very many calories.
Sugar-free gelatin or a stick of sugar-free Popsicle might be other choices for an occasional low-calorie snack.
Member question: I have celiac disease (recently diagnosed), avoid the usual migraine trigger foods, can't have citrus or fatty foods for stomach problems, lactose intolerance, and am severely iron deficient (on supplements sporadically for that, they tear up my stomach). I'm severely underweight. Any suggestions for foods to help me gain weight?
Dunn: It sounds like you need to make an appointment with a registered dietician to go over all your food options.
Member question: Andrea, I had GD when I was pregnant with my son; he's 2 years old now. Lately my blood sugar has been high. I need to establish a more healthy eating habit. I just don't know how. I don't eat a lot; yesterday all I ate all day was a bag of popcorn. One meal is typical for me; I'm just not hungry. Is it better to start eating three meals a day even though I don't feel like eating? Do you have any suggestions?
Dunn: We do know that mothers that have had gestational diabetes do have a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes. When you mention your blood glucoses have been running high, are you being monitored by a physician?
Member: My mom has diabetes. I've been testing with her meter.
Dunn: It may be time to check with your doctor, as you may need medical intervention to bring the blood glucoses down.
In answer to your eating questions regarding meals, most people find that spreading out their calories throughout the day does help them to be less hungry. Also, eating first thing in the morning does tend to jump start your metabolism. It sounds like your metabolism might be low.
One other area, besides diet, that you may want to look at would be exercise. With some people there's a big problem with insulin resistance. Your pancreas is producing insulin but your body may not be able to use it. Exercise helps reduce this insulin resistance and might help with normalizing blood glucoses in some individuals. Results of a recent diabetes prevention program showed that about 58% people with prediabetes who lost even just a small amount of weight and exercised even just by walking 150 minutes a week were able to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Member question: I have a mixture of illnesses going on. I am DM II, HbA1c of 5.8. I have congestive heart failure and GERD. My two main concerns are diet for the CHF (strict cardiac diet) and my DM II (diabetic diet). What can I do to make these two diets really work without side effects towards each other? I grill or bake all meats; I use Splenda for sugar substitute; I add no salt to anything; I use spices and herbs to flavor meals; I watch my carb intake. I need help more with portion control. Can you help?
Dunn: A carbohydrate-controlled meal plan goes hand in hand with a heart healthy style of eating. With an A1C of 5.8 you have your blood glucoses under control.
Portion control is important, even when choosing healthy foods that are low in fat and salt. If you don't already have a kitchen scale, you may want to get one. You can find them for less than $5. Some of the electronic ones might be $30 or more.
One way to limit salt, fat, and, of course, total calories, would be to weigh out your meats after they're cooked. Weigh them trimmed of fat, bone, and remove any skin. Limiting your total meat for the day to 5 ounces if you're a woman, or 6 to 7 ounces if you're a man is probably a good range to start. Most people overeat meats and protein, but calories are calories to the body.
A good sodium goal for congestive heart failure would be under 2000 milligrams of sodium per day unless your physician has given you another guideline.
Member question: What do nutritionists have to say about the low-carb diets that seem to be in vogue? I am having success but my fear is that the diet works against my cholesterol and blood pressure reduction medications. Can low-carb choices result in a well-rounded healthy diet that will not only allow weight reduction and reduce habits that contribute heart disease risks?
Dunn: The low-carb diets currently on the market are just that: Diets. For most people, the word diet is a four-letter word, and it means a start and a stop. If you're only following these fad diets for a short period of time the average healthy person will probably not be negatively impacted by it. The problem you run into long-term is avoiding certain foods that we know promote good health, such as fruits, low-fat dairy products, and whole grain products. There have only been limited studies done looking at the effect of low-carbohydrate diets, and they've only been done short-term.
What you need to do, if you have high cholesterol or other lipid problems, is to be in contact with your physician. If you want to try the low-carb diets for weight loss, give them a try and follow up with your physician after three months, monitor your lipid levels, and see if the diets made an impact or not on your cholesterol level.
There are many versions of low-carbohydrate diets, and each individual may respond differently, depending on how they interpret the meal choices.
Member question: I have to have a nuclear scan done on my thyroid. For one week I cannot have any food containing iodine or salt. Are there any vegetables or fruits I should avoid?
Dunn: I would advise you to contact your hospital to see what kind of meal plans they want you to follow prior to the test. They must have specific guidelines that they'll want you to follow.
Member question: Dinnertime is between 7 and 8:30 pm -- my last glucose test is at 11pm with my Lantus injection. I've had night readings of 113 followed by morning readings of 170, and conversely had nights of 170 with mornings down to 120. I know I don't eat in my sleep, so do you have any idea what might be happening?
Dunn: One thing to keep in mind is that the liver can release glucose independently from what you eat. What that means is that during the night your blood glucoses could be going up because of glucose released from the liver. You already may be on a medication to control this, or you may not be. Lantus is a long-acting insulin that works over 20 to 24 hours.
The other factor that may be going on is the amount of carbohydrate that you eat throughout the day. If you consistently take the same amount of insulin you need to be consistent with the amount of carbohydrates that you eat.
Member question: I am a type 2 diabetic and can't have any fruits because the sugar sets off a rise in my blood sugar. Is there a way of preventing the rise and enjoying the fruit?
Dunn: Sometimes taking the fruit with a mixed meal, for example, fruit for dessert with lunch or dinner, may prevent that rise in blood glucose that you may see when you eat fruit as a snack on an empty stomach. You may also want to try different fruits to see which ones don't spike your blood glucose as high.
Member question: Can you make recommendations for someone with sensitivity to gluten who would like to lose 15 pounds and get into better physical shape?
Dunn: When you're trying to lose weight, we need to look at calories in and calories out. To lose a half a pound a week, you probably need to fine-tune what you eat each day by about 250 calories. So whether or not you're on a gluten-free style of eating or a low-fat or a carbohydrate- controlled meal plan, you still need to address the calorie issue to lose weight.
Many people benefit from keeping a food journal, tracking what they eat and the calories. That might be a good start for you in terms of looking at where you might be able to trim a few calories here and there.
Sometimes just leaving a bite or two behind each meal helps create a calorie deficit. For others, it might be having vegetables as a second serving instead of the meat and side dish. But the bottom line for any weight loss is going to be total calorie.
Member question: I have added nuts to my diet (almonds, pecans, and walnuts) as I read that eating these helps to decrease the risk of heart disease; however thy also have a relatively high-fat content. Is eating nuts at cross-purposes to a health diet?
Dunn: You are very observant! You've not only read the latest research that shows nuts can be very heart healthy, but you've also keyed into the fact that a small amount of nuts goes a long way in adding calories. As little as 24 almonds can give you about 170 calories. Seven whole walnuts also have about the same calories. So measuring out, as in a small handful, maybe 2 tablespoons as a serving size, and including some nuts a couple times a week, might be a good start.
The trick is, calorie wise, to then use those nuts as a replacement for another food item so you're not adding additional calories to your day. For example, midafternoon, instead of having those fat-free pretzels have a small handful of nuts instead. Or if you enjoy a mealtime salad and usually throw cheese on top, throw a few nuts in its place. Exchanging those calories for other calories in your meal plan should prevent weight gain.
Moderator: We are almost out of time. Andrea, do you have any final comments for us?
Dunn: A healthy style of eating includes a variety of foods. So if you're not able to include the foods that you want to enjoy every day, then it might be time to meet with a registered dietician so you can readjust your meal plan and eat what you want. Have a good day!

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Theme of Man and the Natural World
Huck is like that hippie kid with questionable hygiene who can't stop talking about how he once hiked the Appalachian Trail. No walls, houses, beds, and chairs for this guy; he'd rather be living in filth down by the river and chilling with the squirrels. But to put a positive spin on it, Huck does turn out to be the only character in Huckleberry Finn who's able to make the right moral decision. Maybe there is something to be said for all that communing with nature.
Questions About Man and the Natural World
- Huck is Mr. Indecisive when it comes to, well, deciding things, namely whether he would prefer to eat with a napkin on his lap or hunt for fish with his bare hands. What does Huck really want? Does he want to be one with nature, or does he have a secret hankering to get "sivilized"?
- Huck spurns religion (sort of), but holds his reverence for the natural world. Look at those scenes where he describes the stars or the river and the lightning. Is this a kind of religion in itself? If not, what does the wilderness mean to Huck?
- Are there other characters who seem to have a special relationship to nature? What about Tom? Jim?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Huck may like being outside, but in the end he prefers the civilized world of family and home.
Although he doesn't mind the civilized world when he's there, Huck really belongs outdoors on the river.

The jury considering the Liberty Templeman murder trial has been told that if they can not reach a verdict there may have to be a retrial.
Tension is rising in the courtroom as family members and supporters pace the upper level of the High Court at Whangarei anxiously awaiting a verdict.
Justice Raynor Asher said: "I have been told you have been unable to reach a verdict so far. That sometimes happens, it is no reflection on you."
He said juries usually agreed when given more time, and told them they could go into tonight, or return tomorrow morning.
Liberty's father Andrew Templeman was patted on the back by a family friend and the officer in charge of the case Inspector Marty Ruth after the announcement.
Mrs Templeman was not present in court.
Earlier, the jury asked Justice Asher about what he called an "erroneous transcript" after it became apparent that a written transcript of a police video interview taken at the time of the arrest appeared different to the version that lawyers in the courtroom had.
A section of the transcript related to the boy's confession in which he described a fight with Liberty, and it had been unclear whether he said he "hit" or "hid" her in the river where she was found drowned.
The jury, which is deliberating following nine days of evidence relating to the 2008 killing, had been in deliberation for 3 hours before asking to watch the video about 11:30am.
The video, recorded on the day of the accused's arrest in 2008, showed the accused saying: "She kept hitting me and I hit her again and again and she fell to the ground and she didn't move, was just breathing, with her blood all over her.
"Before I left I thought she was going to get up and tell the police so I strangled her and I pulled her into the river and I hid her. I thought the police would be after someone and ask for an explanation so I pulled down her clothes to make it look like a rape or something."
Police and crown prosecutors are rushing around to photocopy correct versions of the transcript which should have said "hid."
Justice Asher told the jury that "in the end it will be a matter for you decide what was said in the video."
Some members of the jury of six men and six women expressed looks of frustration when the announcement was made.
Yesterday, supporters of the Templeman family arrived in the High Court at Whangarei wearing orange ribbons, the former Kerikeri schoolgirl's favourite colour.
For the first time, Libby's younger brother, Bill, 13, was at court, seated between his parents.
He became upset when graphic evidence was repeated and could be seen crying and leaning his head on his parents' shoulders.
A 16-year-old boy, whose name is suppressed, is accused of murdering Libby by hitting her, strangling her and dragging her while she was unconscious into a creek, where she drowned.
He is also accused of indecently assaulting her by moving her clothing to make it appear as if she had been raped.
In summing up the case, Justice Asher once again told the jurors they must keep an open mind.
He told them to put aside any sympathy they might feel for the Templeman family - and any they might have for the accused boy and his family.
"You must not assume that the accused is guilty simply because he has lied on a number of occasions ... People lie for various reasons - to avoid suspicion, to protect someone else or out of embarrassment or confusion."
Justice Asher gave the jury handouts explaining the legal aspects of the charges. The sheets also explained the law on manslaughter.
Earlier, Crown lawyer Mike Smith addressed the jury of six men and six women, telling them they would need to make their own decision on whether they believed the witnesses heard during the trial.
The boy gave evidence on Wednesday. Mr Smith said yesterday that the boy's story was full of inconsistencies.
"Lies," Mr Smith said.
"There's no other way away from it - a story that evolved and changes as the police zeroed in on who was with Liberty and what had happened to her. As the circumstances started to point towards him, different stories ... and a trail of deceit that continued right up until [Wednesday]."
In her closing address, defence lawyer Catherine Cull said: "Yes, the accused caused her death ... That was caused by an unlawful act but he did not have either of the murderous intentions that Mr Smith is urging you to accept.
"He made the most tragic and most silly decision to try to conceal what he thought was a body and it is that decision - in placing her, or in putting her, in the stream - that ultimately caused her death, but he did not do that action with the intent to kill her."
She told the jurors they could not be sure beyond reasonable doubt that the boy meant to kill Libby.
"He was a 14-year-old in a panic. He did not want to get into trouble."

By Jeremy Wise, Army Flier staffApril 30, 2010
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Trent Thompson attributed it to a "team effort," while Lynn Bell said great putting paved the way.
Even though both players served on Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union Tournament's winning teams, Soldiers and Families were the victorious ones April 23 at Silver Wings Golf Course.
One hundred twenty-six golfers battled fierce winds on SWGC's Blue and White courses to participate in the 20th-annual event that raaises money for Army Emergency Relief Fund. The fund helps pay bills, such as some medical and groceries, for Soldiers and Families in emergency situations.
The number of golfers about doubled the 2009 turnout. Last year's tournament raised $16,000.
"A lot of it is timing," said tournament co-chairman Joel Faulk, who noted last year's low turnout was an aberration. "Most years, we have between 100 and 120 golfers. One thing that helped was in DalevilleA,A! - it was spring break."
As storms approached the area late Friday, winds picked up on an otherwise "beautiful" day, Faulk said. Thompson, along with partners Steve McCoy, Britt Gay and Harris Kennedy, notched a 61 in the windy conditions to take home the gross score title.
Bell, Chad Powell, Randy Sims and William Miller shot a 54 in the four-person scramble to garner the top net score.
McCoy said when forming the team, he took into account all the players' individual strengths, which led to the "team effort" that won.
"Trent can hit the ball 350 yards, Harris can hook (on doglegs) and Britt can putt. I can drive the golf cart," he said.
Meanwhile, Bell's team all performed well on the greens.
"We putted well. We just got in a zone," he said.
That zone applied to the team's whole game, something that became evident on Blue No. 2 "especially after our drive bounced 16 times under the trees," Sims said.
"We birdied that hole, and we knew we were having a good day," Bell said.
The team said they play in this tournament every year, and really enjoy it. Others were just happy to support AER, including Brig. Gen. Kelly J. Thomas, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker deputy commanding general.
"AER is one of those projects that goes directly back to the Soldiers. The AER tournament continues to put back money to Army Families when things are hardest," he said.
Jeffrey Herzog, Noncommissioned Officer Academy, said his unit fielded five teams in support of the effort.
"Anything for AER. Who knows when you might need it'" he said.

A 40-year-old Adrian Township woman accused of having sex with a 15-year-old boy during a New Year's Eve party at her home has agreed to a plea agreement.
Marcy Ann Rowe on Monday pleaded guilty in Lenawee County Circuit Court to a reduced felony count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Rowe avoids mandatory registration as a sex offender unless she violates parole or probation.
The charge carries a maximum 10-year prison term.
Rowe's plea came on the eve of a second trial. Her first trial in May ended with a hung jury.
The boy previously testified he and Rowe were drinking and she forced herself on him.
Rowe remains free on bond but under house arrest. Sentencing has been tentatively set for Sept. 9. pending a psychological evaluation.

Osteoporosis is a dangerous disease that affects millions of women. Medication to treat the disease has helped slow the thinning of bones. But now the Food and Drug Administration is reviewing how long a patient should take the drugs.
Nina Barnett took osteoporosis drugs for almost ten years, then she took a tumble at work.
"I heard my right leg crack and I turned around, turned out totally fractured and left leg was stress fractured," she said.
The electrician had been diagnosed with pre-osteoporosis and took drugs called bis-fos-fo-nates to prevent bone deterioration.
More than four million women in the U.S. take these drugs to maintain strong bones, but the studies on the drug's safety were only for short term use.
"The difficulty is that physicians have been treated these patients indefinitely with these drugs with with very little evidence that they remain safe," said Dr. Joseph Lane, who works for Hospital for Special Surgery.
The drugs have also been linked to jawbone deterioration and unusual leg fractures.
So an FDA panel has recommended the agency require drug makers to label the products with an advisory that the drug should only be taken while it is beneficial.
"If the bone density is stable and test show the bone has gone to sleep, then we take them off the drug until the bones start deteriorating again," said Dr. Lane.
Makers of the drugs warn that women who stop using them could actually suffer more fractures.
Nina Barnett wishes she knew the risks before her accident.
"It turned out terrible damage. It was like toothpicks. My surgeon said he had to put in everything but the kitchen sink to rebuild it," she said.
Now she just wants to be able to walk without crutches.
The Food and Drug Administration doesn't have to follow the advice of the panel, but usually does.

Every extractive capitalist economy needs a mechanism that allows corporate heavyweights to snuggle up with elected officials. In the US, there's American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and if you haven't yet been horrified by Bill Moyers' piece on how ALEC essentially enables corporations to write state laws, you're in for a treat.
Where I live, we have the seemingly innocuous Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association (NOMA). Made up of municipal leaders and business partners, NOMA has been an outspoken advocate for the forestry industry, butting heads with the province over issues like the Endangered Species Act.

What materials did you use? Two blocks of A Greek Cross #11 June BOM I used the cross print and the stripe print as well as the background plain material for constructing the tote bag.
What are you most proud of? I quilted each of the sides of the bag. I added pockets to the lining of the bag and then put it together.
Love it.
I'm so glad you love it Ladymax. You should try it.
Do you have any idea how many bags I have made and how many are in the works? I don't, but this is now on the list.
I find Bags easy to make. I have about 7 patterns and then I individually adapt them. I have tried about 30 different patterns of bags, totes and portable pockets. I have chosen 7 that I continue to make over and over again.
I would have never thought of this. I am learning from a lot of you to "think out of the box". Thank you.
Thank you Betty

Yogurt shops in Corning are simply the favorite spots to chill out with frozen yogurt. These stores offer yogurt by weight, and patrons can add a variety of toppings to their treats. A perfect cup of yogurt is creamy, healthy and contains the right blend of sweet and tart flavor. They contain all the nutritional benefits of actual yogurt. The original mix may be in powder form which can be used alone or as a base to create other flavors. It can be customized to suit one's personal palette. They offer mini, small, medium and large choices with a wide selection of toppings.

Spanish painter to join Toledo Symphony in concert
The Toledo Museum of Art has been a happening place for more than a century.
Next weekend in its stately Peristyle, the museum, the Toledo Symphony, and a famous painter will reinvent a happening the 1960s avant-garde phenomenon that wound up as today's performance art.
The symphony's Classics Series V concerts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday will be all about music inspired by painting and painting inspired by music in a simultaneous creative concoction.
Joining the musicians and principal conductor Stefan Sanderling on stage for the entire concert will be Spanish artist Felix de la Concha, a celebrated realist painter and portraitist.
While the maestro conducts strings, brass, winds, and percussion through a rich musical program, de la Concha will transform a blank canvas into a finished portrait with his "instruments," colorful paints applied with brushes and palette knives.
Out of public view but watching avidly will be Brian Kennedy, director of the museum and instigator of this grand experiment in synesthesia, the experience of multiple sensory activity in the same moment.
"The arts are languages, forms of communication," Kennedy said, trying to sum up this ambitious experiment.
"Visual arts communicate visually. Musical art communicates with sound. But they share many elements, such as line, color, harmony, and texture."
There'll be no pungent smoke, no tie-dyed outfits, and no nudity elements of some happenings conjured by hippies in the free-wheeling 1960s. In fact, all of the principal players in this project were just learning to walk when flower children took over public parks for over-the-top gatherings celebrating peace, love, and beauty.
But there was a genuine and serious idea behind these seemingly spontaneous events.
Musicians, actors, painters and sculptors, filmmakers, and electronics proto-geeks were exploring paths to artistic synergy, where the whole of a performance is greater than the sum of its parts.
Today, brain research in synesthesia is revealing how sensory crossovers have for centuries inspired creative types from painters Vincent van Gogh and Vassily Kandinsky; composers Franz Liszt and Olivier Messiaen; poets Arthur Rimbaud and Charles Baudelair; scientists such as Richard Feynman, plus many of today's rock and pop performers to push boundaries, conjuring new experiences.
De la Concha has for years pursued a style that incorporates synesthetic process. Still, next weekend's concerts will be something untested, he said earlier this month.
"I have developed paintings where the whole process is recorded and capturing a unique moment, but, yes, this is truly different as it is going to be seen live by an audience, constrained to the time and moment of the performance of the orchestra," de la Concha said.
Kennedy, who met de la Concha when both were at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire the painter on the art faculty and Kennedy running the Hood Museum of Art on campus wanted to continue working together.
Kennedy said that for him the concerts, ephemeral as live music always is, will be exhibitions as well. "I'm curating this while Stefan conducts and Felix paints," he explained.
New technology enabled Kennedy to bring the whole shebang live to audiences via large screens to be mounted on either side of the Peristyle proscenium. Cameras will pick up de la Concha's painting progress and, no doubt, reveal players within the orchestra who are usually not as visible.
The program comprises music inspired by visual arts.
"Il Trittico Botticelliano" by Ottorino Respighi, focuses on paintings of the Renaissance master, Botticelli. "Mathis der Maler," (Matthew the Painter) by Paul Hindemith, was inspired by the northern Renaissance artist Matthew Grunewald, and the well-known "Pictures at an Exhibition," by Modest Mussorgsky (the Ravel orchestration) was the Russian composer's tribute to his painter friend, Victor Hartmann.
In past decades, the symphony has experimented by bringing artists onstage to draw during concerts, particularly for family audiences. It has shown slides to illustrate other works, such as images from the Hubble Telescope run during "The Planets" by Gustav Holst.
Last year, the symphony and Sanderling collaborated with the Glacity Theatre Collective in a rare performance of Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, by Andre Previn and Tom Stoppard, during its Carnegie Hall debut.
That event mixed music, theater, and super graphics for a dynamic and memorable if thoroughly scripted performance.
One new wrinkle this year will be the impact of the artist on the symphony's performance and the reverse. Another unknown will be, for the audience, the addition of a strong and ever-changing visual element to the more accustomed aural-only experience of a live concert.
Born in 1962 in Leon, Spain, the young Felix de la Concha taught himself to paint while with his father on fishing trips. He studied painting in Madrid, then won the Prix de Rome at the Academy of Fine Arts. He worked in Rome until 1994; after his time at Dartmouth he moved to the University of Iowa, but also spends much time in Spain.
Last year, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Fallingwater, the Frank Lloyd Wright home in the Laurel Highlands outside Pittsburgh, de la Concha spent a year painting the dramatic, stream-side home in all four seasons. He also has a major project creating portraits of Holocaust survivors. His works are in museums in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Dartmouth, South America, and Europe.
The coming concerts are dedicated to Rita Kern, a major symphony and museum supporter, who asked Kennedy to create a collaborative project which would bring the two institutions even closer.
Kennedy, Sanderling, and de la Concha will discuss their experiment in a pre-concert program in the Peristyle at 7 p.m. both nights, just before the concert begins. Admission is free with tickets, which are $20-$50 at 419-246-8000 or www.toledosymphony.com.

Stocks Dropping on Heavy Volume, Apple Shares Getting Walloped
By Steven Russolillo and Jonathan Cheng
Stocks are declining sharply heading into the final trading hour.
The Dow is down 111 points. The S&P 500 an Nasdaq Comp are each down about 1%. Tech, industrials and consumer discretionary stocks are leading the declines. Trading volume has picked up in the afternoon as the selloff has steepened.
UPDATE: Stocks finish off session lows as major indexes stage a late-day comeback. Dow finishes down 69 points, S&P 500 drops 8 points and Nasdaq Comp loses 24 points.
While there doesn't appear to be a specific catalyst for the recent downdraft, the economic data as a whole today were pretty putrid and worries about Spain are ramping up.
"This whole market ran out of steam halfway through the day," said Jonathan Corpina, senior managing partner of New York Stock Exchange floor broker Meridian Equity Partners. "It just seems to be getting worse and worse as the day goes on. All the European headlines are really catching up right now."
Apple shares are taking it on the chin, down 3% at $590. The stock market's golden boy, which for so long could seemingly do no wrong, has hit another batch of volatility. Some analysts are wondering whether iPhone sales may miss expectations in next week's quarterly report. The company's market cap has fallen just below $550 billion, according to FactSet Research.
Walter Piecyk, Apple watcher at brokerage BTIG, recently turned more cautious on Apple. He told MarketBeat on Thursday that iPhone sales could disappoint with earnings next week, given that wireless carriers are getting stingier in subsidizing customers' phone upgrades.
"The pace of upgrades among existing customers was lower than what we had forecasted," Mr. Piecyk said.
Earlier today, jobless claims rose more than expected. The Philly Fed's manufacturing report missed expectations and existing home sales fell for a second straight month.
European markets fell following a mixed reading on Spain's bond auction. Yields on 10-year Spanish government bonds remain elevated.

Kazan Real Estate Market Expected To Freeze In 2012
Written By: Denis Valeev|
December 30, 2011|
Posted In:
The maiden "Christmas Summit" of the Russian Developers Guild took place in the "Riviera" hotel, Kazan on the 16th December. The meeting of Russia's major real estate agents revealed that the state had become the key player in the real estate market. The Kazan market is reportedly characterized by the deficit of office premises on the market, especially in the class A segment. The existing 650 thousand meters of shopping venues in Kazan are also said to be insufficient. This means that the high rent fees in the shopping malls and high margins will affect the prices of all products sold in the shopping centers. The residential real estate in Kazan demonstrated a 5-7% percent increase in November, 2011.
The Kazan round table or real estate majors also discussed the current trends in the housing market such as a sufficient growth in demand for second homes. This is said to be motivated by the use of real estate as an alternative investment tool to replace bank deposits. The majority of the market players are those who are buying homes No.4 or No.5. As for the majority of Kazan residents the purchase of the family's first apartment is next to impossible.
With the current average mortgage rate in Kazan at 14% per year and based on the current market situation, the experts and realtors expect the Kazan real estate market to stall and face stagnation in 2012.

Hi Eric and the rest,
Thanks for your thoughts!
I understand your way of thinking, and it even makes me doubt my solutiona bit.
Indeed, you could wonder how VNC server on PC A can listen on port 5900 while PuTTY is also using that port for communicating with the Dropbear server.
I hope and think that the way a tunnel is implemented in general, is in some way transparent to the operating system.
So I think that for a 'remote port forward', PuTTY isn't really listeningon the local port that you have configured, but only makes sure in some way that the unencrypted traffic is delivered to that port number.
Anyone else?
Kind regards,

NEW DELHI: With an eye to ensure that the new entrance examination process for all centrally funded engineering institutes takes off smoothly, the apex body of all school boards in the country has said that it will ensure that all board examination results will be declared by June 10 each year.
At a meeting of the Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) held on Thursday, it was also agreed that revaluation and re-totaling requests would be completed by June 30 each year. This would ensure that students in all boards have their final results when the IITs and other engineering institutes subscribing to the common examination undertake their final admission process. There are 29 school boards in the country.

A national group called Roots Action has come up with an explicit call aimed at progressives, who may be very critical of Obama, on what they should do on Election Day this year. If they're in one of the (few) swing states, they should hold their nose and vote for the president. If not, they should cast a protest vote for one of the progressive candidates on the ballot there. You can reach them here. Noam Chomsky among others backs this. My pal Dan Ellsberg writes about it here. He feels "rage" toward Obama but says Romney must be stopped.
However, they are not repeating the rather widespread effort in 2000, when groups arranged "trades"--a voter in a swing state would vote for Gore if a vote in safe states voted for Nader.

The Red Sox will unveil a statue of franchise icon Carl Yastrzemski outside Gate B at Fenway Park on Sept. 22, the third statue the team has created to honor legendary players. The ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. before a 1:35 p.m. that day.
The statue will capture a moment from Oct. 2, 1983, when Yastrzemski tipped his helmet to fans before the final at-bat of his 23-year career with the Red Sox. No player has ever come to the plate, scored more runs or drove in more runs in a Red Sox uniform than "Yaz." He finished his career with a franchise-record 3,419 hits and hit 452 home runs, second only to predecessor Ted Williams. He won the Triple Crown in 1967, the last player to do so before Miguel Cabrera in 2012, and he played in two World Series.
