Wilson Webb/Columbia Pictures-Sony
LOS ANGELES � The comic action heroes of �Men in Black 3� have taken over the weekend box office from the comic-book superheroes of �The Avengers.�
According to studio estimates Monday, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones� latest �Men in Black� installment debuted with $70 million domestically during the four-day Memorial Day weekend, which proved unusually quiet at theaters for Hollywood overall.
Sony�s �Men in Black 3� took over the No. 1 spot from Disney�s �The Avengers,� which had been the top flick for three straight weekends but slipped to second place with $46.9 million domestically.
�Men in Black 3� added $133.2 million overseas for a worldwide total of $203.2 million.
�We took over the world this weekend,� said Rory Bruer, Sony�s head of distribution. �It�s so exciting to see Will and company back in this franchise. I certainly think that most people who�ve seen the film think it�s the best of the franchise.�
�The Avengers� raised its domestic total to $523.6 million, making it the No. 4 movie on the all-time domestic revenue chart and only the fourth film to top half a billion dollars. �The Avengers� will quickly pass the No. 3 film, �The Dark Knight� at $533.3 million, leaving only �Avatar� at $760.5 million and �Titanic� at $658.5 million ahead of it.
While it was a good start for �Men in Black 3� and another strong hold for �The Avengers,� Memorial Day weekend was the slowest at theaters in more than a decade. Box-office tracker Hollywood.com estimates that overall domestic receipts for the four days will finish at $190 million, the lowest since Memorial Day weekend in 2001, when revenue totaled $185.3 million.
A year ago, Hollywood pulled in a record $276.3 million during Memorial Day weekend, when �The Hangover Part II� debuted with $103.4 million.
So far, Hollywood�s summer season has been a one- or two-hit wonder, with only �The Avengers� doing blockbuster business and now �Men in Black 3� joining it with a solid opening.
Other May releases fell far short of expectations, with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton�s �Dark Shadows� and the game adaptation �Battleship� swamped in the wake of �The Avengers.� �Battleship� launched in April overseas, though, where its $232 million haul helped make up for its meager $47.1 million total after two weekends domestically.
With domestic revenue at $4.3 billion so far this year, Hollywood remains on a record pace, receipts running 11.3 percent ahead of last year�s, according to Hollywood.com. But revenue had been running 20 percent ahead of 2011�s earlier this year.
Analysts have said this season could sweep past last year�s summer revenue record of $4.4 billion on the strength of such releases as �The Avengers� and its superhero cousins �The Dark Knight Rises� and �The Amazing Spider-Man.�
Other than �The Avengers� and �Men in Black 3,� summer is off to a slow start.
�After five weeks of summer, to only have two hits, that�s tough,� said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. �We definitely need to slingshot back. I was on record predicting record revenue for this summer, and now I�m getting worried. Summer is only 18 weeks, so we don�t have a lot of time, but we do have a lot of big movies coming.�
�Men in Black 3� reunites Smith�s Agent J and Jones� K for their first big-screen adventure since 2002. The movie co-stars Josh Brolin as the younger Agent K, who is targeted for death by a time-traveling alien that Agent J chases back to the late 1960s.
The weekend�s other new wide release, the Warner Bros. fright flick �Chernobyl Diaries,� opened far back in the pack at No. 6, with $9.3 million for the four days.
In limited release, Focus Features� first-love comic drama �Moonrise Kingdom� got off to a huge start with $669,486 in four theaters, for a whopping average of $167,371 a cinema. That compares to an average of $16,478 in 4,248 theaters for �Men in Black 3.�
Directed by Wes Anderson (�Rushmore,� �Fantastic Mr. Fox�), �Moonrise Kingdom� chronicles the relationship of a troubled boy and girl who run away together in the mid-1960s. The ensemble cast includes Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Tilda Swinton.
�The Avengers� has added $781.9 million overseas, giving it a worldwide total of just over $1.3 billion. The film is closing in on the No. 3 earner worldwide, last year�s �Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2� at $1.33 billion,� again with only �Avatar� ($2.8 billion) and �Titanic� ($2.2 billion) ahead of it.
Still, many older films such as �Gone with the Wind,� �Star Wars� and �The Sound of Music� sold more tickets than �The Avengers� and other modern blockbusters. Rising admission prices mean today�s movies make more money while selling fewer tickets, especially those that earn much of their cash from pricier 3-D shows, such as �The Avengers.�
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com.
1. �Men in Black 3,� $70 million.
2. �The Avengers,� $46.9 million.
3. �Battleship,� $13.8 million.
4. �The Dictator,� $11.8 million.
5. �Dark Shadows,� $9.4 million.
6. �Chernobyl Diaries,� $9.3 million.
7. �What to Expect When You�re Expecting,� $8.9 million.
8. �The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,� $8.2 million.
9. �The Hunger Games,� $2.9 million.
10. �Think Like a Man,� $1.8 million.

Should You Intervene When a Parent Harshly Disciplines a Child in Public?
September 28, 2016,
Dermatomyositis is a muscle disease that involves inflammation and a skin rash. It is a type of inflammatory myopathy.
The cause of dermatomyositis is unknown. Experts think it may be due to a viral infection of the muscles or a problem with the body's immune system. It may also occur in patients who have cancer in the abdomen, lung, or other parts of the body.
Anyone can develop dermatomyositis. It most commonly occurs in children age 5 - 15 and adults age 40 - 60. Women develop this condition more often than men.
Polymyositis is a similar condition, but the symptoms do not include a skin rash.
The muscle weakness may come on suddenly or develop slowly over weeks or months. You may have trouble raising your arms over your head, getting up from a sitting position, and climbing stairs.
The rash may appear on your face, knuckles, neck, shoulders, upper chest, and back.
The doctor will do a physical exam. Tests may include:
The disease is treated with anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system.
When your muscles get stronger, your doctor may tell you to slowly cut back on your doses. Most people with this condition must take a medicine called prednisone for the rest of their lives.
If a tumor is causing the condition, the muscle weakness and rash may get better when the tumor is removed.
Symptoms may go away completely in some people, such as children.
The condition may be fatal in adults due to severe muscle weakness, malnutrition, pneumonia, or lung failure. The major causes of death with this condition are cancer and lung disease.
Call your health care provider if you have muscle weakness or other symptoms of this condition.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls man, who is charged with shooting at a passing car in the city on June 27, was arraigned in Niagara County Court Friday on charges of having a sawed-off rifle and assorted drugs in his car when police arrested him in the shooting case.
Cornelius D. Porter, 19, of Fourth Street, pleaded not guilty to third-, fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Assistant District Attorney Theresa L. Prezioso said charges of attempted first-degree assault and reckless endangerment are still pending against Porter in Niagara Falls City Court. He is accused of firing shots at a car containing a man and a woman, Prezioso said.
On Aug. 2, police pulled Porter's car over to arrest him on a warrant in connection with the shooting. They allegedly found a sawed-off 9mm Luger rifle, more than half a gram of cocaine and the anti-anxiety drug alprazolam, better known by the brand name Xanax.

Open Water Checklist and Safety
You've got your new gear, your training has been a success and you are ready to go. But have you thought of everything? Here's a checklist to help ensure a great swim.
Completing an open water swim - in any conditions - is a fantastic achievement and something to be proud of so you want to make sure your preparation is perfect.
You also want to ensure that you are as safe as you can be. So, here's our open water checklist:
- Do you know who you are swimming with? It's very dangerous to swim open water on your own, no matter how confident a swimmer you are.
- Do you know what the weather conditions will be for your swim? Weather can play a huge part in the difficulty of open water swimming conditions.If you feel unsafe, don't get in.
- Do you know the route you are taking? Seems like a fairly simple one but you MUST plan your route carefully and make sure someone else knows where you are going as well.
- Do you know where you will enter and exit the water? Again, this may not be your biggest worry but you should plan where you are entering and exiting the water.
- Have you practised swimming in your wetsuit? Wearing a wetsuit does change your stroke slightly so it's best to practice in a pool beforehand.
- Do you know the temperature of the water? Swimsuits keep you warm but the temperature of the water will still be much colder than your local pool. Diving straight in is not recommended as this could leave you short of breath. If you feel your body getting too cold, get out of the water.
- Do you know what you will eat before and after your swim? Diet is very important for competitive swimmers – you need your energy boost at the right time for optimum performance.
- Do you have goggles and lubricant? Swimming in lakes, rivers and seas means poor water visibility is poor to atrocious. Wear goggles. If you're swimming in a group, tuck your goggle strap into your swim hat so they aren't knocked out of position by accident. Lubricant isn't essential but it's a very useful for putting around the neck to avoid chaffing from your wetsuit.
- If you are swimming a loch, have you asked about weirs? Tide times are crucial to know when learning about the best times to swim in a loch. Be aware of rip currents and what to do if you become caught in one.
Visit the MySwimfit Open Water section for greater Checklist detail.

How do I Network My XBOX and PC
Posted 19 October 2002 - 05:30 AM
Network Uplink: This is the broadband port that connects to the Internet. Typically this will be on your cable modem or ADSL router.
Network Card: This is a 10 or 100BaseT network connection (either a PCI card or a USB box).
Hub: A hub allows multiple machines to be on the same network as each other.
Switch: A switch is similar to a hub, but is smarter about routing traffic between machines on the network.
NAT Router: Also known as "broadband gateways" or "Cable/DSL routers" these devices allow you to share a single broadband IP address with multiple machines. You may already have one of these if you have multiple computers at home on your broadband connection.
Firewall: This device blocks most network traffic to your machine. Some NAT Switches have a built-in firewall, and software firewalls such as "Zone Alarm" are also popular. You may need to disable your firewall to use the GameSpy Tunnel.
Network Cable: This is a regular RJ45 network cable
Hub/Switch Direct to Internet
This is a common configuration if you have a single machine and want to put your Xbox on the same network. If your current Internet connection goes directly from the Network uplink into your network card, this will be the easiest configuration to set up. Just plug the Network Uplink into the Uplink port on the hub, and plug your computer and console into the hub. No networking changes are needed. 4 or 5 port hubs can be purchased for $30-$50.
NAT (DSL/Cable Router)
If you are already sharing your network connection with multiple computers, or plan to in the future, you may need a NAT if you do not have enough IP addresses from your ISP for each computer. You can simply plug your Xbox into the NAT router and it will be on the same network as your computer. No additional configuration is needed. Note that you may need to open (forward) ports on your NAT as outlined above.
Two PC Network Cards
If you do not want to use a hub, you can choose to use two network cards in the same machine. One network card will connect to your Internet connection. The second (console-connected) network card will need to be configured with TCP/IP enabled. You can use an IP address of "192.168.0.1" on it, a Subnet Mask of "255.255.255.0" and leave the gateway and other settings blank. Make sure you configure the GameSpy Tunnel application with the network card that is connected to the Xbox when asked to select one.
NAT + Hub/Switch
If your NAT (Cable/DSL Router) does not have enough ports on it, you may need to plug a hub or switch into it, and then plug your computer and Xbox into the hub. When connecting the NAT to the Hub, you should use the uplink port on one of the devices (but not both).
USB Cable Modem
If you have a cable modem that connects directly to your machine via USB, then you will need a second network card to connect to the game console. See the section above on Two PC Network Cards for more info. Note that if you have a USB Ethernet adapter for use with your Cable/DSL Uplink you can use any of the other configurations since a USB Ethernet adapter is basically just a type network card. An additional card is ONLY needed if your Cable Modem connects directly to your machine via USB (no network cable).

Sticking with static till I understand dhcp better. If anyone knows of a good no brainer explanation of the differences in networks site that would be great to see posted here..

Typical Cat5 cable is around the 80-90mbps (even tho it says 100 - 100 is only the "theoretical max").
Wireless on the other hand... there's different speeds again.
You have 10mbps, 22, 54, and i think there's also a 76 now too?
anyway.. my friend has a 22. the max he can get is 11mbps. i have a 54 - the max i can get is 19-20. and no, this is not just bad settings. what they say is that "54mbps" is only theoretical - its actually not obtainable - they even admitted that to me in the end. was not impressed
anyway...back to the point. even at 20mbps... are you sure you'd want to wait 15 minutes to transfer something rather than 3? no..i'd say not

I have 2 network cards in my pc. One of them are for the internet thats i get from a hub that is connected to a wireless internet concection.
The other card is connected with my xbox. I do not want to connect my xbox to the internet so that is clear.
The problem is that when i turn on the xbox and go on the xbox via ftp i loose my internet conection.
It just goes down.
To get my internet working again i have to unplug the crossover that is connected to the xbox.
My internet ip is 10.41.159.3 and the ip for the other network card is 192.168.0.1.
Xbox ip is 192.168.0.3

|One question: I saw there is a hole looks like a phone line outlet. in the backleft of the xbox, is that hole on the left use for phone line? I plug it it, it fits but I don't know if it work.
That is an ethernet jack, for networking the Xbox for System Link play, Xbox Live, or (if you have a modchip) FTP'ing to your computer.

They may have been high-fiving each other in the White House the other day, after a report indicating the smallest percentage of the nation's energy in nearly 40 years was generated from coal in March.
President Barack Obama's war on the coal industry is working.
But in millions of homes where electric bills are going up and thousands of industries where reasonably priced power is the difference between success and telling employees they've been laid off, the reaction ought to be different.
Only about one-third of the nation's electricity came from coal-fired generating plants in March, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports. Nearly the same amount, 30 percent, was from power stations fueled by natural gas.
Less than two years ago the numbers were different. In 2010, Americans relied on coal for 44.8 percent of their electricity.
But now Obama, using the Environmental Protection Agency as his club, is pounding the coal industry hard. Natural gas is the fuel of choice for power plants, the White House makes it clear.
Electric utility executives have gotten the message. The EIA predicts that from 2013-15, just four new coal-fired power plants will be built in the United States. During the same period, 104 new gas-fueled stations are expected.
But even at today's depressed prices, it costs much more to generate power from gas than coal. A government report shows utility companies spend about $2.41 to generate 10 million Btus of energy from coal - and about $3.70 for the same amount from gas.
In other words, if your utility is planning to switch - and most are - prepare for electric bills more than 50 percent higher than now. That won't please most people, but it makes the White House happy.

Corporate governance is concerned with the resolution of collective action problems among dispersed investors and the reconciliation of conflicts of interest between various corporate claimholders. In this survey we review the theoretical and empirical research on the main mechanisms of corporate control, discuss the main legal and regulatory institutions in different countries, and examine the comparative corporate governance literature. A fundamental dilemma of corporate governance emerges from this overview: large shareholder intervention needs to be regulated to guarantee better small investor protection; but this may increase managerial discretion and scope for abuse. Alternative methods of limiting abuse have yet to be proven effective.

« Select another bird species
"Milder temperament than other parrot species. They make very sweet family birds and are less prone to 'psychological problems' than other psittacine birds."
Liz Wilson, CVT, CPBC
"In my opinion this is the bird of choice for children. Try to buy a male (it is worth the money to have them DNA sexed, you can usually sex these birds by particular feather characteristics but that cannot be done until the bird is just over 6 months of age) because females often become chronic egg-layers which can become extremely expensive and heart breaking as well. Cockatiels commonly have Chlamydiaphila and Giardia, both of these are zoonotic diseases, so proper testing should be done. The males are great talkers! Females rarely, if ever, talk. One other medical problem that comes to mind is articular gout. They are superb flyers, so wing-feathers trims are a must, as with all pet birds in my opinion. However some of these guys can fly even with all of their flight feathers trimmed, so be careful. I love cockatiels. My first bird was a handicapped cockatiel because her mother had removed her toes in the nest box. I made her special perches [that were] flat with felt covering and she did just fine."

The Hollidaysburg Lady Tigers couldn't have asked for a better start to their 2012-13 basketball season Friday night.
Hollidaysburg burst out to a 25-11 lead after one quarter and ballooned the advantage to 44-25 at halftime en route to an 85-48 victory over Bishop McCort in the opening round of the Marguerite Frederick Lady Marauder Classic at Bishop Guilfoyle's Pleasant Valley gymnasium.
Hollidaysburg showed off its balance and depth in rolling to an opening-night victory that earned the Lady Tigers a berth opposite Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic - a 63-22 winner over Central Mountain Friday - in today's 5 p.m. championship game. Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck was afforded the luxury of getting all 17 players on her roster into the game, and 13 of them scored.
Hollidaysburg's senior-dominated lineup shined, with four seniors - Morgan Griffith and Michele Muir (13 points apiece), Susie Ellis (12) and Hannah Mercer (10) - scoring in double figures. Sophomore Ashley McClain also came off the bench to score 13 as Hollidaysburg raced out early and never looked back.
"We got a quick start out of the gates,'' Jubeck said. "We got into our transition game, and we were able to get some easy buckets off steals tonight. That's what we were looking to do.
"It's the first game of the season,'' Jubeck added. "We're nowhere near where we need to be come February, but it was a very good team effort. We all played well together.''
Hollidaysburg scored 15 of the game's first 19 points to take command. Junior forward Courteney Storm came up with a pair of field goals and a free throw to complete a 3-point play, and Muir hit three field goals in the early run for Hollidaysburg.
"We knew we had to come out strong,'' Muir said. "It's still early in the season. We still have a lot to work on, but everybody was excited for the first game, and everybody had an all-together great game.''
Once Hollidaysburg got going, its momentum just snowballed. Ellis hit a pair of 3-pointers in the game, including one in the first quarter, when she made two free throws.
McClain hit six of six free throws in the second quarter, and Muir added five points on a trey and regular field goal, as Hollidaysburg built its 19-point lead at the break.
"We knew we wanted to come out strong and get a big lead,'' said Ellis, a senior guard. "We were all excited. We consider this one of the most important games of our season.''
Jubeck and Ellis also felt that the Lady Tigers played well defensively.
"We worked a lot on our defense, and with getting in the right position,'' Ellis said. "We also worked a lot on our shooting, and it paid off tonight.''
With its senior leadership and excellent depth - the Lady Tigers picked up several key transfer players in the offseason - Hollidaysburg figures to be a force to be reckoned with in the District 6-AAAA tournament this season.
Hollidaysburg certainly made a believer out of Bishop McCort coach John Hahn Friday.
"That's a nice team,'' Hahn said of the Lady Tigers. "They were a tough draw for us in the first round, but we're a better team for having had the experience of playing them. We're a young team, and we knew this would be a big test for us. We wanted to play man-to-man defense against them, but we just couldn't just match up with them.''
McCort was led by Steph Hrbal's game-high 15 points and Mackenzie Barbin's 11. Hollidaysburg, which made 12 of 13 free throws in the game, was led by Griffith's 10 rebounds.
Hollidaysburg figures to get a stiffer test in today's championship game against tournament host Bishop Guilfoyle.
"They have a great nucleus of players, and two Division I players,'' Jubeck said of BG. "It's going to take a total team effort by us to stop what they do.''

Background: POM demonstrated clinical efficacy and favorable tolerability in RRMM pts previously treated with lenalidomide (LEN) and bortezomib (BORT), in the randomized, multicenter, open label MM-002 phase II trial. This analysis evaluated whether the efficacy and tolerability of POM+LoDEX treatment is consistent across age subgroups.
Methods: Pts with RRMM who had received ≥ 2 prior therapies, including LEN and BORT, and were refractory to their last regimen were randomized to either POM+LoDEX (POM 4 mg/day, days 1–21 of a 28-day cycle; LoDEX 40 mg/week) or POM alone. End points included progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (based on EBMT criteria), response duration, and safety. A post-hoc analysis based on age (≤ 65 vs. > 65 yrs) was conducted.
Results: A total of 221 pts with a mean age of 64 yrs (range 34–88) were randomized to POM+LoDEX (n = 113) or POM (n = 108). The efficacy outcomes and the most common treatment emergent grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) for the age subgroups according to treatment arm are presented in the Table.
Conclusions: Regardless of age (≤ 65 vs. > 65 yrs), POM with or without LoDEX was effective and generally well tolerated in heavily pretreated RRMM pts who had already received LEN and BORT. POM with or without LoDEX represents a new clinical option for pts previously treated with numerous lines of therapy. Updated data will be presented at the meeting.

The ultimate gang bang sex move involving six dicks and one vagina. It is categorized as a TVTA (triple vag, triple anal)where three dicks are put in the vagina and three dicks are put in the ass. The result is a fan of dicks that would resemble the fan on the tail of a peacock.
I've never seen The Peacock, only in my mind. However, I picture the character Matt Stone played in Orgazmo yelling "Time for the peacock! Dude, we're gonna put three dicks in her vag and three dicks in ass!"

Tim McGraw
Two Lanes of Freedom
[Big Machine]
Rating: 2 stars
For his first album in two years, Tim McGraw arrives clean, sober and reportedly, very happy to be both. He also arrives on a new label, Big Machine, home to Taylor Swift, who appears here in a cameo role. Appropriately, given McGraw's new lease on sober life, the album at least loosely follows a theme of new beginnings, despite the fact that McGraw didn't have a hand in writing any of the songs that fill it.
Only a cynic could fail to be happy for McGraw. He's always seemed like a decent guy, and who doesn't like to see a good guy beat his demons and get back on track? That said, it would have been nice if the music felt like a new beginning, rather than a cliché-ridden regurgitation of the past. This is modern country music's problem, not just McGraw's. The tendency toward hackneyed tropes has become expected, to the point that someone like Swift can come out with high school diary psychobabble and be praised as "refreshing." True, if contemporary country puns like "Truck Yeah" and "Mexicoma" – both employed by McGraw here – stick in your craw. But so much modern country music sounds interchangeable that even the slightest idiosyncrasies stick out like a Stetson at a hip-hop concert.
Musically, things are par for the present-day course throughout "Two Lanes of Freedom," its title sounding like it could have been cribbed from a truck commercial script – the musicianship is sturdy, the performances impeccable to the precipice of sterility, the singing emotive and sincere to the point that you can't help but doubt its sincerity. Sometimes, this is fine and dandy, as it is during the album-opening title song, which has an undeniable pop hook to recommend it. But elsewhere – as in album-closing, cringe-worthy power ballad "Highway Don't Care," which features both Swift and Keith Urban adding to the musical carnage – it's painfully obvious that McGraw has no intention of challenging himself or his audience.
Sadly, that may be the point.

Pat Metheny
The Orchestrion Project
Rating: 4 stars
At the conclusion of his 2010 tour, Pat Metheny headed directly to a soundstage in Brooklyn, where he performed the program he had just taken to more than 100 cities solely for the camera eye of filmmakers Pierre and Francois Lamoureux, and a bunch of strategically placed microphones. The idea was to capture how the material Metheny had been playing grew, morphed and was ultimately transformed over the course of the tour.
No big deal, you might say, except for the fact that for this particular jaunt, launched behind the "Orchestrion" album, Metheny's "band" consisted of a computer-controlled mini- orchestra, whose entry and exit-point cues were controlled in real time by Maestro Metheny's guitar. It was as if Metheny had become a one-man band but was still able to "play" somewhere in the area of 15 instruments, sometimes simultaneously.
No mere parlor trick, as a tour stop at the University at Buffalo's Center for the Arts more than proved, the "Orchestrion" gig was a wonder to behold. Not merely on the technological level, though that was certainly jaw-droppingly incredible, but on the musical level, too.
Somehow, Metheny was able to craft genuinely organic interplay between himself and the "instrument-bots" assembled around him. It was freaky, for sure, but much more importantly, it was dense, dynamic, exciting, subtle and beautiful.
"The Orchestrion Project" is, in a few ways, even more sublime than the original "Orchestrion" album. Here, Metheny displays a mastery of the technology. There is no question who is in charge by this point, and be assured, it ain't the machines.
Beginning with a dramatic on-the-spot acoustic guitar/percussion creation known simply as "Improvisation #1," Metheny then blends reimagined bits of his back catalog into this new setting, intermingling them with the "Orchestrion" material. Beautiful Latin-based melodies like "Antonia" and "Tell Her You Saw Me," both culled from Metheny's 1992 album "Secret Story," come to sparkling life in this context, as he "conducts" the music-bots with subtle mastery. He does so in a painterly fashion – bringing different colors and textures in and out of the mix at will.
Sometimes this is dramatic and near-epic, as is the case with a radically reimagined "80/81 – Broadway Blues." At other times, as with the set-closing take on "Unity Village" (originally on the 1976 release "Bright Size Life"), a sparse and lyrical approach is embraced. Either way, Metheny has managed to do the all-but-impossible here – he's made machines sound deeply human.
Duke Ellington
Black, Brown and Beige and Other Works
The Buffalo Philharmonic conducted by JoAnn Falletta
Rating: 3 stars
Jerome Moross
Symphony No. 1, The Last Judgment and Variations on a Waltz for Orchestra
London Symphony
conducted by JoAnn Falletta
Rating: 2½ stars
The classic tale of Duke Ellington's collision with "official" American Culture (with a capital C) stems from 48 years ago. The Pulitzer Prize jury, finding no single work by anyone awardable recommended that the prize go to Duke Ellington for his body of work. The Pulitzer oversight board – a traditionally stuffy, indeed clueless outfit at the time, to put it mildly – nixed the idea.
Ellington's comment on the whole sorry business to come along in his 66th year on earth was: "Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to become too famous too young." (Part of the virtually inexhaustible evidence that Ellington may well have been the coolest human being who ever lived.)
Buffalo high culture has never partaken of Ellington condescension, not even in the slightest. Courtesy of the '60s efforts of its choir director Hans Vigeland, Westminster Church, quite famously, sports a representation of Ellington on its stained glass windows along with more exalted "classical" figures.
Here we have, performed by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by JoAnn Falletta, about as good a version of Duke's "Black, Brown and Beige" and other major bits of Ellingtonia as you're ever likely to hear from a symphony orchestra. Listen to the BPO's percussionists doing what they do to conclude Ellington's "Harlem" from 1950. There's no question that no performance will ever beat those that Ellington put on record. That's because the pieces were almost always written with the members of his own band – their strengths and limitations – in mind.
Other pieces besides "Black, Brown and Biege" (whose first movement "Black" sounds truly majestic from a full symphony orchestra) include the 1943 ballet "Three Black Kings," which was completed by Ellington's son Mercer; 1970's "The River" orchestrated by Ron Collier; and Ellington's own symphonic arrangement of his alter ego Billy Strayhorn's "Take the A Train."
A fine celebration of Ellington by Falletta and the BPO with solos by Sal Andolina and Tony DiLorenzo.
Of less interest in Falletta's rather wonderfully prolific recorded output is her performance with the London Symphony Orchestra of a full program of works by film composer Jerome Moross, including his first symphony and the world premiere recording of Moross' "Variation on a Waltz for Orchestra." Moross was an interesting figure. Even though the Copland influence on his first symphony was clearly immense, he was also the pianist for the first broadcast performance of the opening of Ives' "Concord Sonata."
These are all appealing works in the extreme, if not quite as deserving of attention in upscale music circles as the works of Ellington.
One does, however, find less of a gap between Falletta's performance of Moross' music with the Londoners and the music's ideal performance than there is between the BPO's creditable performance of Ellington and the best performances the music is ever likely to have.

Majoritarian, Your rhetoric is sickening. A lot of money goes into creating a song that can legally be sold. I think 80% is very generous, not to mention honest. Most charities lie about how much money is actually being donated. How much money have you generated for Cancer research? How much money have you generated for any charity or cause? Some people are so poisoned that they will try and down any effort no matter how noble the cause. Thank you Big T! What you're doing it great!

Injustice is exponential. Anyone wrongly convicted of a horrible crime pays an unfathomable price. Yet he or she is not the only person who suffers. The stain of shame, in any decent family, spreads to the mother and father. It touches brothers and sisters. The black cloud hangs over them all – although parents bear the largest emotional burden.
It was never truer than with Albert and Mary Capozzi.
Their mentally damaged son, Anthony, was somehow convicted of raping two women in Delaware Park in the 1980s. It was the era before DNA evidence was used in court. Anthony, who suffers from schizophrenia, did not fully understood what was happening. His mother told me that, during the trial, Anthony would say: "Mom, I wasn't in Delaware Park. Why are they saying that?"
Albert and Mary Capozzi lived for decades in a tidy corner house on the West Side. They went to Holy Angels Catholic Church and raised five kids – the Italian-American equivalent of Ozzie and Harriet. They drove to Utica every week to visit their incarcerated son.
I sat at their kitchen table six years ago, when news of Anthony's possible innocence surfaced. The kitchen was spotless, with a portrait of the Virgin Mary on the refrigerator. The kindness and consideration between them filled the air; sitting there was the emotional equivalent of a warm bath.
Bike Path Killer/Rapist Altemio Sanchez had just been arrested. Uncovering Sanchez led a police task force to re-examine similar crimes. They concluded that Sanchez committed the rapes for which man-child Anthony Capozzi was convicted. He was freed soon after.
Anthony sacrificed 22 years of freedom. The punishment for Albert and Mary Capozzi was living with society's belief that they – in a house filled with love – had raised a predator.
"The grief and shame, you never come out of it," Albert Capozzi Sr. told me at the time. "The way people look at you."
Despite the pain, they never allowed the injustice of what happened – either before or after Anthony's exoneration – to make them bitter, to corrode their essential decency. It was, to me, a testament to their emotional bonds, a tribute to their character.
"Despite what happened, I never heard them say a bad word about any judge, cop or prosecutor," said Dennis Delano, the ex-Buffalo cop who was part of the task force. "They never even had a bad word for Sanchez.
"At first I didn't think anybody could be this nice," added Delano, who in recent years regularly had coffee with Albert, "but it was true – they were."
It was justice multiplied then, when Anthony was exonerated six years ago. His name was cleared – and the parents who never lost faith had their burden lifted. No one knew how close of a call it was. Mary died in 2009. Albert, 87, passed away Monday.
"It meant the world to [my parents] to have Anthony cleared, to know in their hearts that he was a good person," said Pam Guenther, Anthony's sister, "and to show everyone that this wasn't who their son really was."
Mary Capozzi never believed that Anthony was guilty. Guenther, however, told me at her father's wake Wednesday that Albert carried a seed of doubt – a seed finally crushed when Anthony was exonerated.
Guenther said her parents "were so grateful" to the whole task force. "They needed people to fight for them to prove Anthony's innocence," she said. "We had tried, and we couldn't do it."
The injustice of what happened to Anthony was balanced by the joy his freedom brought to these profoundly decent people.
They had – thankfully – lived to see their son cleared, and the stain washed from the family name.
I ran into Erie County Sheriff's Detective Al Rozansky, another member of the police task force, the day after Albert's death.
"Nothing I ever did in police work gave me the feeling that I got from that one," Rozansky told me. "I get goose bumps, thinking about being part of the [task force] who did that for the Capozzis. … God has the two of them sitting in big chairs up there."
The Capozzi story is the shining example of why good cops – and conscientious prosecutors – do what they do. The aim is not to convict someone of a crime. It is to convict the guilty someone. There is no justice – for the victim, for society, for the criminal – unless and until the right person is punished. For 22 years, Anthony Capozzi – and his parents – paid for Sanchez's crimes.
That awful injustice ended only because of a task force of cops: Rozansky, Delano, Steve Nigrelli, Chris Weber, Ed Monan, Greg Savage, Ted DiNoto, Michael Rose, Joe LaCorte, Scott Patronik, Lissa Redmond. They not only caught a killer; they freed an innocent man and restored peace of mind to his family.
A good man died Monday. We mourn his passing. But anyone who knew Albert and Mary Capozzi is thankful that they lived long enough to learn the truth. Anything less would have been the deepest injustice of all.

Services were held Tuesday in Indiana for a Jamestown native who was shot to death during a home invasion at his suburban Indianapolis residence.
Thomas Tefft, 67, was found dead early Friday morning in his home, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
A local 911 operator received a call at 6:40 a.m. about a burglary in progress. That call was made by Tefft's 67-year-old wife, Laura, who had grabbed a cellphone and locked herself in a bathroom while her husband investigated a disturbance at their home.
Before officers arrived, Laura Tefft reported hearing a single gunshot, according to police reports.
The first officer on the scene found the garage door up and the door leading to the home open. Tefft's body was found just inside the door, police said.
A car had been taken from the garage, police said. The victim's wife gave officers a description of the intruder, whose face was concealed by a mask.
Born in Jamestown, Tefft had grown up working in the family business, Tefft Glass of Dunkirk, which he took over at age 16 after his father died.
Looking for a change of scenery after their two children were grown, the couple moved to the Indianapolis area in 1996, according to an obituary that appeared in the Indianapolis Star. Tefft found work there as a glazier at an Indianapolis business.
Their son, Wade, lives in Colorado, and their daughter, Lynn Hoff, lives in Illinois. The two appeared before local media Sunday in their parents' Far Northside neighborhood, appealing for help in solving the murder.
"There is a cold-blooded murderer loose in the streets of the city tonight," Wade Tefft said, according to a report in the Indianapolis Star. "He needs to be found and brought to justice."

Background: Elotuzumab is a humanized antibody against CS1, a cell surface glycoprotein, which is highly expressed in multiple myeloma (MM). In mouse xenograft MM model, elotuzumab demonstrated significantly enhanced anti-tumor activity when combined with lenalidomide (len) compared to len alone. The study objectives were to evaluate the MTD, safety, PK and efficacy of elotuzumab in combination with len and low dose dexamethasone (dex).
Methods: Len (25 mg PO) was given on Days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. Elotuzumab (IV infusion) in 3 escalating dose cohorts (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) was given weekly for the first two cycles and then every other week of subsequent cycles. Dex was given weekly at 40 mg PO. First 5 patients were treated for 6 months before a protocol amendment to continue treatment until progression.
Results: A total of 29 patients (pts) with a median age of 60 years were enrolled; 28 pts received study drug. Pts had a median of 3 prior MM treatments including thalidomide (59%), bortezomib (69%) or len (21%) with 41% pts refractory to their last MM therapy. Three pts each were treated at 5 and 10 mg/kg and 22 pts at 20 mg/kg elotuzumab. No DLT was observed during dose-escalation and no MTD was established. Two pts in the 20 mg/kg cohort discontinued due to infusion reactions, one G 4 allergic reaction and another G 3 stridor. Additional SAEs (1 each) included G 2 atrial fibrillation (related to len/dex) and unrelated G 4 ruptured diverticulum, G 3 neutropenic fever, sepsis, enteritis and diarrhea. Other common AEs included fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, neutropenia, nausea, muscle spasm, pyrexia, asthenia and dyspnoea. The ORR by IMWG criteria in 28 treated pts was 82% (64% PR; 18% VGPR). Pts-naïve to prior len (22 pts) demonstrated ORR of 95% (73% PR; 23% VGPR). Median time to progression (TTP) following a median of 4.5 cycles is not yet reached. Phase 2 expansion has been initiated to further examine the efficacy and identify the optimal dose of elotuzumab.
Conclusions: The combination of elotuzumab with len/dex has a manageable safety profile and the ORR of 82% including 95% in len-naïve pts is encouraging. Updated safety and efficacy data including TTP will be submitted at a later date.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
March 20, 2013
Dr. Veronica I. Ent, associate professor and chair of the Saint Vincent College Education Department, and Dr. Robert J. Michalow, assistant professor in education and director of K-12 and secondary education, are co-authors of an article, STEMing Back: Early American Agriculturally-Based Elementary Science as a Model for Today, in the March/April 2013 issue of The Agricultural Education Magazine. "Although science, technology, engineering and math have made significant advancements in the past 60 years, the focal points of today's STEM education have been evident in our instructional pedagogy as early as the 1940s," the authors noted. "While today's elementary STEM education is still evolving, the early connection of disciplines, including agriculture, for elementary students have opened doors to a more meaningful and seamlessly blended curriculum in the present day."

TOWN OF NIAGARA – The Town Board appears to be ready to tell a baseball tournament to "play ball" this summer at Veterans Memorial Park.
Neal Turvey, event coordinator for the "Battle at the Falls," got the call Thursday at the board work session to schedule the games, which will run five weekends from June to August at the park's ball diamonds.
The tournament features five games a day, Friday to Sunday, for teams ranging from 9-year-olds to collegiate level and is expected to bring about 400 people a day to the park. Players from the Niagara County Community College team, the Niagara Thunderwolves, will compete, officials said.
Turvey has appeared several times before the board to convince members to give permission. He is trying to bring the games from the eastern end of the county closer to the Fashion Outlets mall, the primary sponsor of the event.
The board members have been reluctant to grant approval because the event takes place during the park's busiest season. Starting on June 28, the tournament would run every weekend except July 5-7, until Aug. 2.
The community center and shelter are already reserved by groups for events during some of that time period.
"I'm worried about this interfering with other events," Supervisor Steven Richards told Turvey. He said he was concerned that families with children at the park for parties would be exposed to foul language by the players.
Councilman Marc Carpenter told Turvey that he should consider this first time to be "a trial period." The request is expected to be approved at the board's next meeting, on Tuesday.
Richards has not wanted to give up all four baseball diamonds each weekend, so the tournament will use three diamonds the first weekend and one for the remainder of the event.
The cost of clean-up and oversight of the park during the games also was a topic of concern. Richards said he wanted the tournament to pay for any expense the town incurred. Although no total figure was mentioned, the cost of a worker on the Saturday shift plus supplies was tagged at $520 during another meeting. The Saturday games would run from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
In another matter, the board heard from a representative from AT&T regarding a request to add three antennas to the National Grid tower at 3800 Military Road, to improve 4G data transmissions in the area.
The antennas would weigh about 66 pounds each and stretch 96 inches, but would not add any height to the tower.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - Monophonics, a 7-year-old psychedelic soul band from San Francisco, play a paid show Friday night in the Crystal Bay Casino's Crown Room.
According to press materials, the band's music also has been called black rock, which mixes the characteristics of soul with psychedelic rock, which came to prominence in the late 1960s and continued into the 1970s, playing a major role in the development of soul and funk music.
Monophonics were formed in 2005 originally as an instrumental ensemble, according to the band's website, and within the last two years the band has come to find its own sound.
The foundation is the blistering funky drums of Austin Bohlman and soulful bass playing of Myles O'Mahony; fuzzy echo guitars by Ian McDonald; a powerhouse horn section made up of Ryan Scott and Alex Baky; and the swirling organ and dynamic vocals of Kelly Finnigan.
Raised amid the Bay Area's rich musical culture, Monophonics has proudly carried on the tradition of music native to their hometown, which flourished during the birth of funk music and psychedelia.
As a mainstay of San Francisco venues such as The Independent and Boom Boom Room, the Monophonics have created a national buzz and fervent local following, sharing the stage with Budos Band, Orgone, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Kings Go Forth and Soulive.
According to the band's Facebook page, the band is scheduling a limited edition 6-song cover EP this winter, another full length LP in the summer, more US, Canada and Europe shows plus festivals with the hope of exploring new markets like South America, Japan and Australia.

Joseph L. Shimburski, whose anti-President Obama sign posted outside of his Aurora home created all kinds of hullaballoo last week, heard loudly from both sides by telephone, letters and by people visiting the house he's called home for a half-century.
But it was a heartfelt call from an apparent former colleague of Shimburski's late Thursday that prompted the steadfast opponent of the president to remove the sign that some viewed as racist.
The sign, which appeared following Obama's re-election, initially stated in block letters that "Voters Reniged." After The Buffalo News reported on the sign last Sunday, and at Shimburski's wife's urging, the sign was altered to "Voter Reneged."
But Thursday, he took the sign down altogether. Why?
"There was a guy who called me and he said he worked with me – and, I don't remember him, I don't even remember the name – and he asked me nicely to take it down," Shimburski told The News late Friday. "He didn't think it was appropriate for kids passing by on school buses. He was nice about it."
"It's down. It's going to stay down," added Shimburski, 78. "I think everybody got the message anyway – everybody who goes by."
At least one person who got it loud and clear – Paul Bradford, who lives just south of Shimburski on Center Road in Colden, publicly raised concern about the sign to The News last week. He is being hailed by some as a true patriot, but Bradford downplayed that notion.
"It's exceedingly kind; I'm humbled," Bradford said. "But, to be honest, for the first few days, I just sort of sat on my duff hoping someone else would take care of it."
But every time Bradford had to pass by the sign, he felt he "was being smacked upside the head with hate" and that spurred him to action.
"If this sort of thing wasn't nipped in the bud, driven back underground, my worry was that out here where people may think others aren't watching, it would gather momentum," Bradford explained.
Bradford added that he hoped Shimburski had "a change of heart" and, if so, looked forward to visiting him or even buying some of the maple syrup Shimburski is known to peddle in the neighborhood.
Speaking about any such love fest might be a tad premature.
Even though he took down the sign, Shimburski said it doesn't mean his views about the president or his political ideology has changed. In fact, Shimburski said, he's planning to contact Bradford to explain why he thinks Bradford is being misled by Obama.
"I am going to send him a letter I got here about that this government wants to take over 401ks and so on," said Shimburski, adding he's ambivalent toward any possible visit by Bradford. "If he stopped in, I'd be civil to him."
And, Shimburski said he's standing his ground on the other sign he's got up. "Still No President" replaced the "Obama, Not My President" sign he had posted in his yard for four straight years without incident.
Signs or no signs, the past week has been far from a knockdown for Shimburski, who estimates he's enjoyed about "5-to-1" support from those who have blitzed his normally serene homestead with calls, letters and personal visits to talk or leave notes.
In town, Shimburski said people who recognized him bought him coffee, an elderly World War II veteran approached him to shake his hand and a classmate of his from long ago personally laminated the Nov. 25 story in The Buffalo News titled, "A sign of free speech – or of racism?" and thanked him for it.
Shimburski said not all of the feedback was like that.
He said he received some correspondence from those who were upset by the sign and "two or three threatening letters" from "fruitcakes."
At least one person who didn't agree with the sign took a softer approach and stuck an "I Leave Peaceprints" sign in the ground with Shimburski's name on it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Well that was a short two weeks.
Fresh off its Nov. 2 victory in Ohio, where Rob Portman will keep George Voinovich's U.S. Senate seat in the GOP column, the National Republican Senatorial Committee today made clear that it won't waste time before the next election.
Next target: Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown. It doesn't matter that a definite Republican challenger for 2012 has not emerged (the betting line is on Jim Jordan, Jon Husted or Steve LaTourette).
Brown today voted to keep Harry Reid as Senate majority leader, which had all the surprise of a hostess serving turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. But for the NRSC, today's vote served up an excuse to begin attacking Brown.
"By supporting a big-spending, tax-hiking, pro-ObamaCare liberal like Harry Reid, Sen. Brown once again demonstrated that Ohioans cannot trust him to represent their best interests and values in Washington," NRSC press secretary Amber Marchand said in a statement e-mailed to reporters. "Sherrod Brown's lockstep support for his party bosses' job-killing agenda in Washington puts him squarely at odds with his state's voters, and that's why Ohioans will no doubt elect a fiscally responsible leader as their next U.S. Senator in 2012."
Brown begins the 2012 election cycle with $1.4 million in his campaign fund, according to his latest Federal Election Commission filing.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the Iron Road Inn, a railroad-themed inn with lodge buildings, opened its doors to guests on Dec. 20.
Owners Harold and Julia Elbon thank their employees, local vendors and Davis Trust Company for making the project happen.
The inn was originally built in the 1980s and was purchased last November from the Fussell estate. It is now renewed, decorated in a railroad theme and nestled in a wooded cove between the Freedom Bank and Western Steer/ Gandy Dancer off the Beverly Pike.

A large lobby, the Station Room, is complete for guest's enjoyment and decorated with wall murals of local rail sites by Heather Johnson. There is a rear patio for summer evenings.
The inn has spacious double, queen, adjoining rooms, with one suite decorated to honor Marilyn Monroe - who loved to ride trains - and features handicap accessible rooms. The upper lodge building with 18 rooms offers exterior entrances with queen adjoining rooms, kitchenette suites and single rooms.

If you're a fan of Spyro the Dragon, then you'll already have heard that in The Dawn of the Dragon, the latest in the decade long Spyro series, the cute purple winged one finally grows up, a game developer Etranges Libellules is attempting to make as fun for the hardcore as it is for the kids it's traditionally been targeted at. But you don't know how it's doing all that stuff, right? Well wonder no longer. Following a trip to Etranges Libellules' Lyon studio in France we scored exclusive hands-on time with levels you won't read about elsewhere, landed exclusive video footage and exclusive screens. Now, we've got the answers to those questions and more.
God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, The Legend of Zelda and Jak & Daxter - all games the 'hardcore' know and love. They're also games we see elements of in The Dawn of the Dragon, however improbably. "When you see all the next gen games they are really dark and all the same but they are really well done," says Edith Protiere, executive producer, as we begin our play test. "We wanted to have that level of quality but have a very colourful environment. But not too cartooney."
The Dawn of the Dragon, apart from sounding like a particularly bad 70s martial arts film, is actually the final game in a Legend of Spyro trilogy (the original PlayStation only trilogy was developed by Resistance developer Insomniac - now seems like a very long time ago indeed). Fans will know that at the end of the last game, The Eternal Night, Spyro and Cynder were left frozen in crystal underneath a collapsed mountain following the death of Gual. The Dawn of the Dragon picks up the story 10 years later. The two dragons are helped by Hunter, a cheetah voiced by actor Blair Underwood, who explains what's become of the Dragon World during their slumber. Not only that, but the dastardly duo are charged with saving it once and for all from the Dark Master Malefor.
The game is part redemption story - Cynder used to be a bad girl dragon remember - and part climactic showdown with the big bad dude - the last level sees Spyro and Cynder travel to Malifor's home to sort him out. "We're telling a story with emotion," Edith explains. "At the end the Spyro story is finished. Some known characters will die."
We're playing the 'next gen' versions - Xbox 360 and PS3 - and not only does Spyro look older but the gorgeous HD graphics give everything a more modern look. We're thinking Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, that kind of saturated but high quality feel. But it's not just the graphical improvements which will pique the interest of the more discerning gamer, it's the new free flying mode, the enjoyable two-player co-op play and the God of War - that's right, we said God of War - style combat that'll get you hyped.
Let's start with the free form flying - Spyro and Cynder are able to fly wherever they want when above ground - the game will see a mix of indoor levels and open environments. "Our flying works differently to many games with flying," says Edith. "Superman or Lair were not very good. We understood why."
Certainly the flying in Superman and Lair were "not very good", but it's still a confident, bullish claim. Indeed, creating enjoyable flying in a game is a feat many developers have struggled with, something Edith acknowledges early on in our chat: "When you come to level design if you can fly and go everywhere what do you do? And co-op flying was a big concern."
Thankfully flying feels great, especially when you have the freedom of the open environments to explore. There's a wonderful sense of freedom, almost as if you can feel the air flowing through your hair, and there's a small element of open worldness to it all too. Pressing A or X will set you off, but you have to almost rhythmically time your subsequent presses to keep you in the air and build up momentum. It takes a while to get used to but once you do it feels great. And, of course, on the PS3 version you'll be able to use the Sixaxis controller's motion-sensing technology to fly, Lair style, if you fancy that.
