Description: This is New York:
The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.
This is Ireland:
This is Ireland, first published in 1964, brings the Emerald Isle to life, where the shamrock grows and a leprechaun stands at the end of every rainbow, guarding a crock of gold. There's Dublin with its bustling crowds, tall steeples, and Trinity College; there's Clonmacnois, the burial place of kings; there's the Blarney Stone to kiss for eloquence, and much, much more in this verdant, friendly land filled with enchanted lakes and mountains that fall steep to the sea.

Learn how to paint watercolor flowers with delicate petals, bold blossoms and dramatic light! Explore color theory with fun exercises in mixing hues to convey mood, and create a monochromatic study to hone your skills in depicting lifelike value and depth. Discover compositional strategies for a scene that engages your viewer, and begin painting with fluid transparent washes. Use wet-on-wet blending to build layers of jewel-toned petals, and apply the drybrush technique for detail and texture in your bouquet. Plus, learn surprisingly simple ways to correct any problems, and how to crop and frame your work for the best result.
Meet your instructor, Mary Murphy, and learn more about watercolor and some of the techniques covered in your class.
Watercolors interact in a variety of ways, depending on how you apply them. Murphy demonstrates how to practice the wet-in-wet, drybrush and blossoms techniques and become familiar with the watercolor medium.
Learn how to scale the lights and darks in your work as you paint a monochromatic value study.
Murphy takes you on a tour around the color wheel and shows how neutral, adjacent and complementary colors will work together in your painting.
Plan your painting by identifying the masses and shapes in your composition. Murphy helps broaden your awareness of how those masses fall within the painting, adding focus and movement, and drawing the viewer in.
Murphy explains how to transfer a drawing to your watercolor paper and lay down a preliminary wash of color to define shadows and light.
Your bouquet will begin to take shape as you build up layers of color with a wet-in-wet technique that creates the illusion of depth. Learn how to fix small mistakes and add background color.
When is a painting truly finished? Murphy shares some strategies for looking at your work, fine-tuning it and modifying or fixing the parts you're not satisfied with.
"I have taken several Craftsy classes and this is by far my favorite. Mary is an excellent teacher. I have struggled for so long to paint something that didn't look like a kid's art project, and finally I have. I learned so much. Highly recommended."

Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) Proceedings
Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) is a biennial international conference that focuses on the transformation of libraries and information services in the digital environment. In recognition of evolving online and social technological influences that present both challenges and opportunities, "ASSESSMENT" is the theme for LIDA 2014. The conference theme is divided into two parts. The first part addresses advances in qualitative assessment methods and practices and the second part covers assessment methods involving alternative metrics based on social media and a wider array of communicative activities, commonly referred to as "altmetrics." While qualitative methods have a long tradition of application, altmetrics are a set of new approaches to filtering information and to evaluating scholarly communication and research, with possible application to libraries as well. LIDA 2014 brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners from all over the world in a forum for personal exchanges, discussions, and learning, made memorable by being held in an enchanting and spectacularly beautiful city on the shore of the Adriatic Sea.

, updated December 4, 2012 at 6:56 AM
Randy Skinner, the Broadway veteran and choreographer of the "White Christmas" production opening tonight in Shea's Performing Arts Center, hails from the old school.
As a kid growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Skinner fell in love with all the grandiose old movie musicals from the 1940s and '50s, from "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "On the Town" to "Guys and Dolls" and "Singin' in the Rain." There was something about the gauzy style of the films – and especially the mad mixture of dance styles many of them contained – that made an indelible impression on him.
Since Skinner moved from Ohio to New York City in the 1970s, he has become one of the loudest and most successful proselytizers for infusing the theater with the look and feel of Old Hollywood. Early in his career, Skinner became a protégé of the legendary director Gower Champion and picked up plenty of tricks from Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse and other dancers from the golden age of movie musicals he worked with in his youth. In 2001, he choreographed a Tony-winning Broadway production of "42nd Street," and he has worked on dozens of regional and concert productions of shows like "An American in Paris," "No, No Nanette" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
In a phone interview from New York City in advance of tonight's opening, Skinner waxed nostalgic about the films of his youth and the style and level of dancing they contained.
"I still think it's where the best stuff has been done," Skinner said. "When you watch those movies and see that level of dancing – now they got to shoot it a million times and reach for perfection, which we don't have on the stage – but that's always been my goal, to take that level that I love so much and just keep trying to put that on a stage."
"White Christmas," a dance-driven piece with additional fuel from Irving Berlin's eclectic score, tells the story of a pair of war buddies who get mixed up with show biz and women in any number of charming ways. The film version has become a holiday classic somewhere between "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street," beloved as much for its feel-good story line as for its famous title song and classics like "It's Cold Outside" and "Sisters."
For the stage version, a more grandiose version of which appeared at Shea's in 2007, Skinner was laser-focused on re-creating the film's meticulous tap numbers as well as the definitive period style of its jazz and ballroom scenes. It's all an attempt, he added, to make sure nothing whatsoever is lost in translation between the film and the stage versions of the show and that the audience's nostalgia meters are constantly maxed out.
"Your biggest challenge is to transfer something from the screen and make sure that people leave feeling they've had the experience of their memories," he said. "If you look at all those old MGM movies from that period, it had everything in it because dance was such a part of people's lives back then. People danced for social reasons and people partnered."
The level of dance required for a show like "White Christmas," Skinner added, is unusually demanding even in today's highly competitive Broadway world, in which performers are expected to be expert singers, dancers and actors.
"We're doing some pretty complicated things up there, and yet the goal is to make it look effortless. That's the old Fred and Ginger trick – they spent months and months and months rehearsing those numbers, and yet it looked like it was just happening at the moment. So we all try to aspire to that," he said.
The show features James Clow and David Elder, both actors with plenty of Broadway credits to their names, as war buddies Bob Wallace and Phil Davis. Stefanie Morse, a veteran of many Broadway tours, and Mara Davi, who played Janet Van de Graaf in "The Drowsy Chaperone" on Broadway, appear as sisters Betty and Judy Haynes.
Skinner conceded that re-creating old movie choreography in a modern musical theater world isn't the easiest course to take – for directors, choreographers or performers. But he believes it's the right one.
"The demands for the dancers are pretty high, and some people have it and obviously some people don't," Skinner said. "I am carrying that torch, and I feel good about it because people love it."

All hail the Duchess of Cambridge: a newlywed and loving, devoted wife, a mother-to-be of the newest future king or queen and a gracious, charming public figure who, two years ago, became an instant style icon – from the moment she stepped out in a royal blue silk-jersey-wrap Issa dress on the day her engagement to Prince William was announced.
Kate continues to captivate the world with her easy grace and impeccable style, which show no signs of slowing down as she evolves into maternity wear.
From her hairstyles to her hemlines, mixing high fashion and High Street, Kate continues to school the world in the art of dressing for two with style, grace and her own sense of fun – even as her much-anticipated bump presents its joyful fashion challenges.
Among her tricks: Keep it classic (she stunned in a blue silk Emilia Wickstead dress for a gala at the National Portrait gallery); distract from (or accentuate!) the bump with a go-to clutch bag; and don't wear maternity clothes if you don't have to (her non-maternity floral Erdem frock on a visit to a Manchester school also showed off her toned legs).
Her every style choice – from pumps to purses – is studied, copied and discussed.
"Kate is clearly a very confident, healthy woman who is comfortable in her own skin," says designer Max Mara's creative director, Laura Lusuardi.
And the next months, as she carries out her pregnancy and moves into motherhood, are ones the fashion world (and mommies everywhere) will delight in watching.

It's early October. Lots of things to write about, so let's do another edition of 25 things.
1. Our box scores focus on offense, so it's easy to overlook just how good Columbian's defense has been. Through six weeks of the football season, the Tornadoes only have allowed 70 points. And it's very possible the biggest non-playoff challenges are behind them.
2. For the record, I had no idea "pejorative" was even a word until Upper Sandusky coach Jake Moyer dropped it Friday night after his team beat Wynford, 26-0.
3. According to Google (I don't feel like walking to the dictionary), pejorative means "expressing contempt or disapproval." That probably will be the last time that word ever shows up in my column.
4. MLB teams that aren't satisfied with winning 90 games in the regular season and change their managers after doing so rarely have to worry about winning 90 games much longer.
5. It bothers me that the Reds fired Dusty Baker. When Baker came to Cincinnati in 2008, the Reds had not made the postseason in 13 years. They've won 90 games and made the playoffs in three of the last four years.
6. My best friend texted me today and suggested the Reds hire former Indians and Mariners' skipper Eric Wedge. I told him that wasn't funny.
7. Wedge isn't a horrible manager, and he deserves credit for his candor over his Mariners' exit. But I'm not sure I could put up with another few years where the phrase "grinding it out" is used four times in every press conference.
8. My prediction is the Reds will hire their pitching coach, Bryan Price, as their manager.
9. Speaking of unfunny personnel moves, former Columbian softball coach Mike Hampp approached me on the sideline and asked me if I'd heard the rumor about the Browns signing Tim Tebow. Now, Mike has a great sense of humor, and he and I would go off on 10-minute pop-culture infused conversations when he'd call in his results. But he wasn't joking. I just hope it's not true.
10. If ever there was a Cinderella team, it was the 2013 Cleveland Indians. Somehow they attained things that were never expected. But the clock struck midnight Wednesday, when the carriage ? or in this case, the Indians' bats ? turned into a pumpkin.
11. So many things broke for the Indians down the stretch that it's tempting to say next year will be a disappointment. But even if the team loses Ubaldo Jimenez and Scott Kazmir to free agency, it still will be in a better position that it was a year ago.
12. World Series prediction? Tigers and Dodgers. All about pitching.
13. Lakota's Makayla Dull and Hopewell-Loudon's Bryce Gorrell are going to state golf meet next week. The two have been so good that I've told Aaron Korte (who will cover the event for The A-T) to expect to spend two days in Columbus.
14. Two weeks ago, Brian Hoyer starting at quarterback meant the Browns season was over. Now, Hoyer is out for the season... and the naysayers believe the season is over.
15. Seriously, has anyone gone from scrub to star faster than Hoyer? Two good games and now his injury will turn 2013 into another "what could have been" season for the Browns.
16. Having said that, Hoyer really surprised and impressed me as Cleveland quarterback. His quick decision making and release were fun to watch. It's a shame he's out for the year, because now the franchise almost certainly will draft a quarterback in the first round. It probably would have anyway, but now the North Olmsted product will have no chance to stake a claim to the job.
17. The Buccaneers release of quarterback Josh Freeman has some eerie similarities to Bernie Kosar's release from Cleveland 20 years ago. It's not the same, though, mainly because for an entire generation of Browns fans, Kosar was the only quarterback it knew. To me, Kosar was the Browns, and watching the team over the next two years never was quite the same.
18. Kosar's arrest earlier this week for an alleged DUI is so sad (Kosar pleaded not guilty to the charge). People forget how good he was on the field. In 1987, he was probably in the top five of NFL quarterbacks and he only was 24. But an elbow injury in Week 1 of 1988 set in motion a string of events, and with them, the end of the Browns success in that time period.
19. It really is amazing to watch interviews with Kosar when he was younger. He was ridiculously poised and mature for someone so young, and this came across on the field and in media appearances. In recent years, he's sounded like a totally different person. I don't know the reasons for that, but I hope the future is brighter for someone who gave me so many thrills as a kid.
20. Listening to Jeff Lynne's Armchair Theatre. The 1990 album was a rare solo effort for Lynne, and while the album wasn't as popular as the work Lynne produced for Tom Petty and George Harrison, it's still worth listening to. Lynne had, and still has, a remarkable knack for creating pleasant-sounding music. And the world always needs more Electric Light Orchestra.
21. The only good thing about the Indians' season ending? I no longer have to hear the radio commercials where Flo, the peppy Progressive Insurance personality, sings.
22. The Bengals have an impressive football team, but I'm just not sold on Andy Dalton as a Super Bowl quarterback.
23. New Riegel's volleyball team is 20-0. That's insane.
24. Nov. 2. That's when top-ranked Mount Union comes to Heidelberg for a football game. It's easy to look ahead, but I'm sure HU coach Mike Hallett will not. He won't let his team, either.
25. Sixty percent through high school football's regular season. Amazing how fast it all goes.

With green tu tus around their waists and cups of beer in hand, Brennan McKee, Caitlin Hoglund and Lauren Hudnut huddled together in the cool air Saturday afternoon as Irish music blared downtown.
Patrons of the second annual Blarney on the Block, Greeley's St. Patrick's Day celebration, the three alumni of the University of Northern Colorado said they made the trip from Fort Collins to attend in 2012 and decided to do so again this year.
The event, which featured a parade, local music and the debut for this year of the Go-Cup district, which allows patrons to carry specially marked cups of alcohol outside, drew crowds to downtown throughout the evening.
"We came to see the Blarney Stone and the parade," McKee said.
They stayed, however, to hear the Stubby Shillelaghs, an Irish band based in Greeley. The band's manager, Glenn Keil, said the celebration is a great opportunity for the community.
"Normally we'd go to Eaton or Fort Collins on St. Patrick's Day," he said. "But people have been busting their butts to get Greeley back on the map as a place where things happen."
Keil said one aspect of that effort is the presence of the Go-Cup district in Greeley. The Go-Cup district is an area downtown where people older than 21 can take alcoholic beverages with them outdoors.
"I love the Go-Cup district," Keil said. "It gives us a chance to have an outdoor place for people to see the band, because they usually play inside bars, where people have to be over 21."
The celebration was also oriented toward families, as kids were able to cover the bricks on 9th Avenue with sidewalk chalk, shake their hips with hula hoops, participate in rubber duck and potato-spoon races and, of course, view a parade.
Shaughnessy McDaniel, a member of the Stubby Shillelaghs — which plays every Tuesday night at Patrick's Irish Pub, 907 8th Ave. in Greeley — said the celebration was full of fun.
"It's nice for all of these businesses to help make this a better event," he said. "It seems to be working."

Far West U14 athletes from around the Tahoe Basin met at Squaw Valley over the blue-sky weekend to compete in the third race of the season, the parallel. Giant slalom gates, or panel gates, are set approximately every 15 meters, with a similar course set adjacent to it.
Frozen spectators witnessed an exciting race on Exhibition as two skiers raced side by side, each in his or her own course with every inch in the full view of the crowd. While each course has its own timing system, so technically participants only race against the clock, racers still attempt to beat the athlete they pair with at the start.
It was a cold weekend of spectacular crashes and close finishes on hard snow conditions for the 150 ski racers who competed.
"This race was essentially a sprint," said Diamond Peak Ski Foundation Coach Mark Norton. "The short, 30-second course requires athletes to be tight on the panel and keep their skis in the fall line. This means taking risks."
Some of those risks paid off for the Diamond Peak racers, with several earning top-15 and podium finishes.
On Saturday, Diamond Peak's men's team sparkled with three racers in the top five. Casey Delaney's combined time of 1:06.75 landed him at the top of the podium. Teammate Payton Norton's solid runs earned him third place (1:08.08), followed by Winston Pretti in fourth, just .06 seconds behind (1:08.14). Dashiell Prince-Judd of Sugar Bowl was second (1:07.38).
On Sunday, Prince-Judd took the win (1:04.05) and Delaney came in second (1:04.79) and Norton a close third (1:04.81). Diamond Peak's team continued to show its strength in the U14 boys with Noah Cleary placing 12th (1:10.25) on Saturday and 19th (1:07.41) on Sunday, followed by Corey Huber (23, 23).
Other teammates racing at Squaw also skied well: Nick Fischer (24, 35), Tommy Corcoran (32, 42), Daniel D'Olimpio (38, DNF), Connor Huber (39, 41), Bodie Glavish (40, 53), Trent Funke (41, 50), Jeff Miller (43, DNF) and Tim Novak (DNS, 57).
"There is a lot of depth in this 12-13-year-old age class (U14), and our kids continue to dazzle the coaches with their dedication, camaraderie and spirit," said DPSF Coach Raquel Norton.
The Diamond Peak ladies skied solidly both days. DPSF racer Madison Idso led her teammates on Saturday with a 17th place (1:12.23), with Bridgette Johnson right on her heels in 18th (1:12.38), Emily Donahue 21st (1:12.79), Sophia Holm 23rd (1:13.20), and Laurel Taylor 26th (1:14.29).
Taylor fired up on Sunday and really pulled out the stops to post a fast enough combined time (1:08.96) to place 15th. Donahue showed her consistency with a 20th-place finish (1:09.97), and Johnson was not far off in 30th (1:11.75). Unfortunately, both Idso and Holm had crashes and did not finish on Sunday. Teammates Rachel Meyer (50, 49) and Katie Fisher (67, 62) had repeatedly consistent runs.
The team is now looking forward to racing at Alpine Meadows on March 2-3, when the U14 athletes race super G.

5 Movies That Don't Get Enough Credit for Being Tearjerkers
When I was a little boy, I used to make fun of my dad for crying at movies. So did my mom. It was just too easy to push his buttons. I remember a great wave of water vapor emanating from his seat during the ending of E.T., but all the movies known for producing tears never did a thing for me. Terms of Endearment, Beaches, Titanic, and The Notebook all left me cold.
Worst wet T-shirt scene ever.
But as I got older, I did become more like my father, and the tears began to flow. It's not that movies changed so much, but that my number of significant life experiences increased. Suddenly, make-believe movies are able to trigger real memories that matter. Still, it isn't the obvious tearjerkers that get to me. Movies that kill off children or puppies after making you love them only piss me off. Big, overwrought, obvious love stories also do nothing for me. It's the movies that tap into the less obvious moments of a character's humanity that always destroy me. Here are five of the best movies for making a mess of me by using less obvious emotional triggers.
#5. Children of Men: The Freedom to Rebel
Children of Men, the 2006 film directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring Clive Owen and Julianne Moore, is one of my favorite movies of all time. People talk about it in terms of being some 1984-esque dystopian future England where the world has gone inexplicably infertile, and while that's not wrong, it misses a lot. Despite its high-concept sci-fi conceit, Children of Men is not a cold, stylish film. Instead, the movie's conceit is examined through the lives of very real characters.
After nearly 20 years of infertility, society is on the verge of collapse, and Theo (a former activist turned civil service worker) helps keep a pregnant African refugee safe in England -- the last functioning society on Earth. I actually cry all the way through this movie, but I tried to pick one scene to highlight. At one point, Theo seeks refuge at the country home of Jasper Palmer, played by Michael Caine. Jasper is a former editorial cartoonist who cares for his wife, who is completely catatonic after being brutally tortured years earlier for her work as a photojournalist. Here is a couple that fought The Man and lost. And now the fight is taken from them. Jasper's wife cannot speak and requires constant care. Jasper must keep his head down and keep himself alive so he can care for her. He provides shelter for Theo, and it brings trouble his way. Jasper knows his wife will die of starvation without his care, so he euthanizes her and goes out to meet his certain death. But standing as one man alone, he can tell The Man to fuck off for the first time in years.
#4. The Grapes of Wrath: The Compassion of the Working Class
When people think of the big scene from the 1940 classic adaptation of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, they usually think of Henry Fonda's famous monologue as Tom Joad. And surely that is one of the great moments in 20th century film, but that is not the part of the film that destroys me.
Instead, the scene comes from Chapter 15 of the book. The Joads, a family of poor, starving Dust Bowl farmers, are heading West, looking for work. They stop at a truck stop, hoping to buy some day-old bread. The grandfather is accompanied by his two small grandchildren. The truck stop is filled with a tough-talking no-nonsense waitress and her gruff truck-driving patrons. They are not refined or friendly people.
I'd love to play the scene for you, but I cannot find it anywhere online. I can only find the chapter, and I encourage you to read it. Essentially, the grandfather gets into an argument with a waitress, who initially refuses to sell the Joads a loaf of bread instead of items from the menu like sandwiches and hamburgers. The Joads can only afford a loaf for the whole family. The waitress relents and sells the grandfather a loaf for 10 cents, and when he puts down his dime, a penny is sticking to it. He's about to return the penny to his pocket when he sees his grandkids eyeing the candy at the counter, and he asks if it's penny candy. Seeing the kids, the waitress says the candy is actually two for a penny. The grandfather takes two candies and leaves.
When the Joads are gone, a truck driver tells the waitress she's lying because the candy is five cents apiece. "What's it to you?" the waitress says fiercely. The truck driver pays his bill and goes to leave. The waitress tells him he has change coming, to which he replies, "Go to hell," and leaves. The driver, seeing her personal sacrifice, has left her a half-dollar tip. And although I can't find a clip, here is a song Kris Kristofferson wrote about it.
The scene kills me. Not just because it's about the milk of human kindness, but because it shows something I believe to be true: Some of the kindest, best people you will ever meet can be coarse and loud and mean until you really see what's inside.
UPDATE - EDIT: Thanks for finding the clip, "Hassenbenfedyet!" (The dialogue is a little different from the book passage I cite . . . )
#3. A.I.: The Cruelty of Imprinting
Some people cry at A.I., the Stanley Kubrick/Stephen Spielberg sci-fi Pinocchio story, because it's very sad that this sentient robot named David wants to be a real boy. No doubt about it. It's sad.
Others cry that they can't drive into a lady's waiting mouth in real life.
And that's fine. That sure is sad, but that's not why A.I. makes me cry. Y'see, A.I. is the story of a mother mourning her son while he battles an illness in a cryogenic state. In her pain, she turns to a new droid son. In order to fully bond with the droid, she imprints herself into his brain. At this point, he has no choice but to love her. It's his program. And that really sucks, because when her son gets well, the woman tells David to get lost. Yes, she can't actually bring herself to have him deactivated, but she still abandons him. If you accept David as real, then yeah, she's a pretty awful mom.
And that's what makes the imprinting scene so painful. Aren't we all to a certain extent fated to love our parents? To need them? Isn't it almost in our very DNA to need those who brought us into the world? And isn't it also true that sometimes those people don't deserve our love? Yes, and that is the cruel fate of children born to bad parents. They still get the benefit of a child's need and love. Knowing the abandonment that's to come, this scene (from 2:39 to 5:00) is almost unwatchable.

Did the SOPA blackout work? (And was it really a blackout?) | Opensource.com
Did the SOPA blackout work? (And was it really a blackout?)
Yesterday I posted screenshots of 127 websites that "blacked out" to protest the SOPA and PIPA legislation before the US Congress. Another site I came across reported that 7,000 sites had gone black. There was no citation, but I believe it if you include every blog that WordPress enabled to automatically go black and if you count all of those sites I posted screenshots of as "blacking out."
I don't.
That is not to say that the blackout had no effect (I'll get to that in a minute). But the only site I know of that truly enacted what I would describe as a blackout is Reddit. Despite the many confused Wikipedia visitors (chronicled humorously by @herpderpedia), Wikipedia didn't really black out. Not only did Wired and The New York Times give instructions early in the day on circumventing the blackout, Wikipedia did as well.
Most sites didn't even go as far as Wikipedia's more-or-less blackout. The most popular version seemed to be the Google version—black out your logo, or put up a splash screen that mentioned opposition to SOPA.
Nevertheless, the very visible protests did a few important things:
- Legitimately raised awareness
I often find that movements whose goal is to "raise awareness" exist for topics that most people are already well aware of. In this case, however, I was surprised to find out how many people whom I expected to be well-versed in the topic had not even heard of SOPA, much less PIPA.
- Inspired action beyond passive objection
Many Congresspeople reported having their offices flooded with phone calls and emails yesterday. Many constituents reported lines so busy they were unable to get through.
- Caught the attention of mass media
The problems of these two pieces of legislation have been all but ignored by traditional mass media sources, up until now. A Google News search this morning for simply "SOPA" offers a CBS News story as the first link.
- Caused action by the people who can actually stop this
What was that CBS News (a SOPA supporter) story reporting? The fact that several Congressmen had reversed their support.
Who pulled support?
South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint tweeted, "I support intellectual property rights, but I oppose SOPA & PIPA." This seems to be the new position of a lot of former supporters. In alphabetical order, some of the Congresspeople who changed or withdrew support for the two pieces of legislation are:
- Roy Blount (Missouri)
- John Boozman (Arkansa) and Blount were two of the first to withdraw their names as co-sponsors during yesterday's protests
- Scott Brown (Massachusetts)
- Ben Cardin (Maryland) remains a PIPA co-sponsor but says he does so to work on changing it, noting that he can't vote for it in its current form
- John Carter (Texas), remains a sponsor but "reserves judgment on the final bill"
- Susan Collins (Maine)
- John Cornyn (Texas), also head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said it was time to rethink the bills and do it "right rather than fast and wrong"—which he announced via Facebook
- Orrin Hatch (Utah) tweeted, "I will not only vote against moving the bill forward next week but also remove my co-sponsorship of the bill." He previously opposed peer-to-peer networks and had proposed that copyright owners should be able to remotely disable the computers of pirates.
- Ben Quayle (Arizona) withdrew sponsorship from SOPA
- Mark Rubio (Florida), previously a PIPA co-sponsor, called for Congress to work on new legislation to combat piracy—also via Facebook
- Lee Terry (Nebraska)
Senator Patrick Leahy, a PIPA author, continued to support his legislation, saying that those protesting it were "just wrong," and that those who blacked out wouldn't have been affected by it anyway. He was joined in the sentiment by many remaining sponsors of both bills, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, SOPA co-sponsor.
Wikipedia reported that during the blackout, its site was viewed 162 million times with eight million people following through the instructions to contact their legislators. The MPAA called the blackout an "irresponsible stunt" and "an abuse of power."
Mark Zuckerberg found the occasion notable enough to tweet for the first time in almost three years: "Tell your congressmen you want them to be pro-internet."
Despite the lack of true blackout, the movement was effective. We'll see how effective in just a few days—PIPA is expected to meet a vote on Tuesday in the Senate.

Memo from the Dept. of Underwhelming:
"Tell your congressmen you want them to be pro-internet."
Um, yeah. Right, Mark. While you're at it, let them know you don't vote, either. Ought to realllllly get their attention ... Not. Those calling their representatives need to be direct and concise, e.g. "I'm calling you regarding the upcoming vote for SOPA/PIPA. I'm a constituent of yours. I am deeply concerned about this proposed legislation. If you vote in support of it, I will vote against you in the next election. Clear enough?"
I continue to be disturbed that media groups that represent vendors of media, for whom we are all customers, spout tut-tut trivializations like, "just wrong," "irresponsible stunt," "abuse of power," etc. Um,... exercising our free speech rights, and communicating with our elected representatives, is NONE of that. And we're not just citizens. We're voters. Clear enough, Mr. Leahy?
And we're customers. I'm still boycotting Sony (all products) over that rootkit "stunt" a few years ago, it wouldn't take much for me to cease buying other conglomerates' wares. There are plenty of really neat products out there chasing my dollars, I don't have to send them to sellers who hold my citizen's rights in such contempt. RIAA and MPAA mouthpieces should be more judicious in how they rebut public response to their lobbies attempts to redact the Bill of Rights.
Great article, but could you please stop put the CC-BY-SA icon on the phrase "This website intentionally left blank". You copyright (and their therefore cannot copyright licensed) a phrase like that, it too simple.
The CC icon isn't on the phrase, it is on the image. You could paint a picture of the word 'HELLO' and exercise copyright over that picture however you liked. You can't copyright the letterforms, perhaps you can't copyright the particular phrase in question, but you can copyright the layout / composition.
I think is time for us to shut those Who pulled support.
I had no idea of the blackout, I don't use those website. Wikipedia is not a credible source of information so that was a bust. Wired is just propaganda for people merely interested in technology, so another bust.
NYTimes is another propaganda spinner, bust.
Lamar Smith is a cowardly puppet, just listen to him babble in any televised hearing.
You want to make an impression for people, take down the congress critters websites who are sponsors of the Bill.
Otherwise, those websites that participated are subliminal and ineffective for the goal if you want credibility of purpose.
@ pamasaurus
You said:
I had no idea of [about] the blackout, I don't use those website[s].
By your own words, you have undermined the credibility of your posting.
The question of Wikipedia's credibility, or the credibility of the NY Times and Lamar Smith, is similarly wide of the point.
The actual point of this article was that a great many people either already knew - or found out about - the SOPA / PIPA legislation, and were concerned enough to make their voices heard. And they were heard loud enough to make Congress stop and think.
You also said:
Otherwise, those websites that participated are subliminal and ineffective for the goal if you want credibility of purpose.
Credibility of purpose? This "grass roots" protest lacks "credibility of purpose"? You gotta be kidding me! Congress hit the brakes, hard, on these bills because we lack "credibility of purpose"?
When you talk about something "lack[ing] credibility of purpose", you'd better be talking about CONGRESS!
Now I agree with regard to the war being "won". It isn't, not by a long shot.
At best what we see here is a strategic withdrawal, waiting for the time when they can sneak this in as an "amendment" or "rider" to some other bill that has no bearing on this topic whatsoever.

Wikipedia reported that during the blackout, its site was viewed 162 million times with eight million people following through the instructions to contact their legislators. The MPAA called the blackout an "irresponsible stunt" and "an abuse of power."
LOL, because bribing Congressmen isn't an abuse of power, and threatening them on Fox News isn't an irresponsible stunt? I think I hear the kettle calling, MPAA.
You said:
"The MPAA called the blackout an "irresponsible stunt" and "an abuse of power."
No, bribing Congress and Fox News threatening them IS NOT an abuse of power. As far as they (and CBS/NBC/ABC, et. al.) are concerned, that's merely "representative government". As in the "Golden Rule" - "The guy with the Gold makes the Rules"!
Of course, the MPAA and the RIAA (and BMI) are well known to be the staunch defenders of our personal liberties, so this all makes perfect sense when you think about it. Right?

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- People who have been mugged or randomly attacked can remain highly distrustful of others long after the incident, a new study finds.
The findings reveal a previously under-recognized effect of physical assault and could help improve therapy for victims, the British researchers said.
Their study included more than 100 people treated at a hospital for minor injuries suffered during a mugging or physical assault. The participants were monitored for the next six months.
Four out of five victims said that since the assault, they were more fearful of other people than they wanted to be, according to the study, which was published March 27 in the journal Psychological Medicine.
Factors that resulted in strong feelings of mistrust lasting for six months included: being attacked close to home, feeling defeated at the time, excessive worry afterward, feeling unsupported by others and sleeping problems.
It is well known that suffering a physical assault can cause symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, but this is the first study to show that excessive mistrust of other people, or paranoia, can last for months after an assault, the researchers said.
"It is very understandable that being attacked makes us wary of the people around us. Our mindset may become more like that of a bodyguard, vigilant for danger," study leader Daniel Freeman, a professor at the University of Oxford, said in a Wellcome Trust news release.
"When we are overly mistrustful, that is a form of paranoia," Freeman said. "It may well be a normal temporary change in our thinking after being a victim of attack."
The danger of such thoughts, however, is that people may end up isolating themselves from others and dwell only on the worst, said Freeman, who led the study while at the Institute of Psychiatry of King's College London.
"It is an under-recognized problem in the aftermath of an attack," he said.

A couple of thoughts about the World Series:
1. Whatever the penalty is for burning the American flag these days it should be the same for butchering the national anthem as it was before Game 4 on Sunday. I'm in favor of life in prison. How hard can it be to find someone who can sing it with the respect it deserves?
2. I know it's the price to be paid for all of the greed in baseball, but am I the only one who is getting tired of seeing the World Series played and determined in football weather?
I can't believe that Major League Baseball is willing to have its World Series played in horrible weather. Baseball is a spring and summer game, and the World Series should be played in baseball weather. Perhaps they should at least consider playing it in a warm-weather city or someplace with a domed stadium.
I know it's a seven-game series, but football fans travel to the site of the Super Bowl wherever it may be played. I think baseball fans would, too, if they could see the games in comfortable weather.
Perhaps switch cities to an appropriate National League or American League city as the scheduled games dictate in each series.

Penn State loss to OSU will linger for awhile
We all wanted the Nittany Lions to come away with a victory over Ohio State, but an interception at the beginning of the second half broke the camel's back for PSU.
There were other issues, like not making third-down plays, questionable calls by the officials, Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde running through big holes and Ohio State making huge adjustments in that second half.
And, of course. Matt McGloin was not sharp and spent time running for his life after being flushed out of the pocket.
He is an average quarterback who has overachieved.
Penn State was simply outplayed and was worn out. Give credit where credit is due: Urban Meyer is an excellent coach, and he has talented players.
Penn State can still go 9-3 or 8-4. The best thing that is happening is many undergraduate players are getting the opportunity to play and develop.
And Bill O'Brien's year is a growing experience for him and his coaching staff. Be patient.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute has purchased OpGen's Argus Optical Mapping System, which is expected to reduce the time and cost of whole genome sequence assembly. The Mapping and Archive Sequencing Division at the Sanger Institute plans to begin optical mapping of bacteria and parasites in January.
"Traditional mapping techniques used to create a physical map of ordered sequence contigs can take 3–6 months to complete for a small eukaryote such as a helminth," says Carol Churcher, head of sequencing operations, Sanger Institute. "We need a new approach to improve the efficiency of finishing and validating sequence assemblies."
Launched in June 2010, the Argus Optical Mapping System provides high-resolution, whole genome restriction maps for strain typing, comparative genomics, and sequence assembly of microbial genomes. It is based on technology that generates ordered, whole genome restriction maps from single DNA molecules. This technology is free from the limitations of gel, PCR, and sequencing-based methodologies, according to the firm.
By utilizing an optical map as the whole genome scaffold, researchers are able to identify gaps in a sequence and target specific areas of the genome for additional sequencing. This reduces the need for thousands of cloning, PCR, and sequencing reactions involved with traditional finishing techniques. It also provides a sequence method for whole genome sequence assembly validation.
In September 2010, OpGen secured $17 million Series B equity financing to support the marketing of the Optical Mapping System, to fund the development of new applications that will complement sequencing technologies and help facilitate rapid completion of large genome mapping, and to finish technologies currently under development at the company. In November 2010, BGI announced its intent to use Argus Optical Mapping System for de novo sequence finishing in human, plant, and animal genomes.

The bell at St. Matthew's Lutheran, inside its soaring 255-foot steeple on Marion Square, summons the city's faithful and fallen as it has for more than a century.
In those years, church visitors have included the homeless and hurting, global tourists and business folks, college students and the city's night life. Among others.
Some come to rest. Others come to grieve, repent or offer joyful thanks.
A few just wanted to know the best place to eat nearby.
A similar scene plays out across Marion Square at Citadel Square Baptist.
Through more than a century of Charleston heat, hurricanes, earthquakes and fires, both historic churches have welcomed people seeking architectural beauty — and the presence of God.
"We are a presence of Christ to our neighbors," said the Rev. Robert Wallace of St. Matthew's. "Our sanctuary conveys a sense of awe that gives permission to share stories of sorrow and of joy. The gift of architecture becomes the means through which this conversation takes place."
Yet, the fiscal burden of refurbishing the two sanctuaries, both for their members and for the larger community, has become the financial yoke of the aging congregations.
Both pastors say it's worth the cost.
"The church is not its members," Wallace said. "The church is its presence."
Mission field
Between the two churches stretches Marion Square, a bustling cross-section of tourists on foot, students on bikes and folks lingering on a wide green space between fountains and gardens.
If Charleston has a central square, surely this is it.
When the Rev. David Walker and his wife moved to town eight years ago, they stayed in a hotel at first. The new pastor of Citadel Square realized something key.
"We can touch the world from 328 Meeting Street," he told his wife.
Today, he wishes he had hung a map to mark the homelands of visitors to the church: England, Australia, India, Germany ...
"There are so many people God brings here," Walker said.
He recalled two homeless men traveling together who stopped in Charleston for a spell and came to Citadel Square's services. The church helped the men wash, receive care and hear the Gospel.
The men moved on.
But Walker still prays the church planted a seed of faith.
He tries to plant seeds locally, too. The CSO Gospel Choir, Piccolo Spoleto and other groups have used the church's space. And the church offers free pictures and phone calls for Cooper River Bridge Run participants.
After all, refurbishing a sanctuary isn't just about preserving history.
"We're not in it for preservation. We're in it for transformation," Walker said. "We want to see lives transformed."
Being a neighbor
It was a damp, chilly Sunday last fall when a woman entered St. Matthew's sanctuary shortly before the early service.
She and her husband were on a much-anticipated vacation, she said, and were staying at the Francis Marion Hotel next door.
But the evening before, he'd suffered a heart attack. That morning, he would undergo open-heart surgery.
So, the pastors prayed, and later visited the couple at the hospital.
A week later, shortly after the man was discharged, the couple came to worship.
The congregation prayed again, this time for healing and thanks.
Others visitors have stopped in from as far as Sweden, Egypt, Hong Kong and South Korea.
St. Matthew's also has a 70-year tradition of offering musical performances to the community. Ashley Hall, MUSC, MOJA, Piccolo Spoleto and others use its sanctuary.
"One of our spiritual DNA stories is that of being a neighbor," Wallace said.
After the earthquake of 1886, St. Matthew's helped deliver supplies to residents congregated in Marion Square. And after Hurricane Hugo, its auditorium was used to hold and distribute supplies.
"We feel obligated to our descendants, but also to everyone here in the community," said Dr. H. Biemann Othersen, whose family has worshipped at St. Matthew's for nearly 100 years.
When renovations are complete, St. Matthew's plans to form a team to welcome visitors into their "oasis of grace."
"This building is a gift because its beauty offers a chance for sharing," Wallace said. "And what can happen in that moment can affect lives."

After the last worship service in the sanctuary last Sunday, the congregation moved to the auditorium at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church where they will meet during a renovation project.×

Holstein USA honors three
Holstein USA honors three
Last week, I attended the National Holstein Convention in Virginia, and so did over 1,000 Holstein enthusiasts from across the United States. The four-day event was full of meetings, tours, junior competitions, a national sale, and fellowship. The final evening included a banquet to honor Holstein Association USA's Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder, the Distinguished Leadership Award winner, and the Elite Breeder Award honoree. The winners' names were kept secret until the announcement at the banquet. The winners knew of the recognition, but the audience did not.
We see competition for medals, trophies, and plaques in sports quite often. And, with the presentation of those awards, a high fist pump is generally followed by a self-promoting statement, a big "Wahoo!," and more pats on the back to celebrate their great achievement. But the awards bestowed last Saturday, June 25, were nothing of the sort. There was no grandstanding cheers or rehashing of past laurels. These honorees were truly honored for the recognition and humbled by the award. Each fought back tears as they thanked those who supported them and graciously accepted the award. The cheers came from the audience as they applauded and validated their contributions to our industry. It reminds all of us why we are in the business of breeding dairy cattle and working with the people who care so much about them. It is about the journey and those that travel with us.
Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder Award: Brad Groves, Mo.
Brad thanked his family and Holstein friends who encouraged him to apply for the award. He hesitated to apply for the award, pondering if he was truly deserving. With some gentle nudging from his wife and friends, he completed the application, and this very deserving winner spoke so humbly when accepting the award. His Groves-View herd will be a tour stop during next year's convention in Springfield, Mo.
The Young Holstein Breeder recognizes the significant accomplishments of young Registered Holstein breeders.
Distinguished Leadership Award: Charlie Iager, Md.
Charlie has made valuable contributions to organizations in his home state and nationally. His enthusiasm for the people in the dairy industry is constantly renewed. I have known Charlie and his wife Judy for over two decades and they are always the first to say hello and greet you with a smile, whether at a show, convention, or at their farm. Their volunteer work on behalf of dairy organizations will ensure that our dairy history will be preserved, and generations to come will enjoy a vibrant future.
The Distinguished Leadership Award is given to an individual who has provided outstanding and unselfish leadership and made a notable contribution to the Holstein Association and/or the dairy industry.
Elite Breeder Award: Ray Ruby, Ore.
Ray Ruby of Fir-Ridge Holsteins of Oregon was honored posthumously. His wife, Ida, grown children Michele and Scott, and his three grandchildren were in attendance to accept the award. Knowing Ray personally, he would have been very honored to receive the award which was echoed by his wife and son in their words of acceptance. Scott shared a few humorous "Ray-isms" with the attendees and remarked that his dad would say that breeding cows was 99 percent luck, demonstrating that humble personality that made him a passionate and successful breeder of registered Holsteins. I looked forward to talking with Ray at the Oregon Holstein Show each year. These discussions were intense and to those watching across the barn may have confused our passion for the topic as hostility. It was certainly anything but hostile! He enjoyed engaging conversations, especially about our industry.
The Elite Breeder Award honors those who have bred outstanding animals and thereby made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Holstein breed.
Watching the video presentations of the winners, hearing their acceptance speeches, and knowing them personally, it reaffirms the reason we are in this business – for the cows and the people. I expect few industries outside of agriculture can claim such pride and enjoyment.
The youth award winners have been posted on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/HoardsDairyman
Holstein USA's official press release on the winners can be found on our Industry Buzz page.

Parents Catch Abusive Babysitter, Thanks to Dog
Posted September 16th, 2013 @ 8:26am by John Johnson, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – A babysitter in South Carolina has confessed to physically abusing a 7-month-old boy in her care—and the child's parents give credit to the loyal family dog. AsWCSC explains, they grew suspicious when their otherwise mellow dog, Killian, started routinely growling at the family's 21-year-old babysitter and standing between her and the child. The parents placed an iPhone under the couch one day to record audio: "It started with cussing," says dad Benjamin Jordan. "Then you hear slap noises and his crying changes from a distress cry to a pain cry."
