MIDLAND, MI -- India's beautiful culture comes alive again Saturday, June 9, when more than 50 dancers and singers of all ages present an afternoon of classical and folk traditions at Midland's Grace A. Dow Library,1710 W. St. Andrews in Midland.
Presented by the Sangeetayan Institute of Dance and Music, it begins at 2 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
"We have students from Saginaw, Midland, Bay City, Alma and Mount Pleasant," said Sangeeta Kar, who has taught India's cultural heritage to more than 500 young men and women in the past 25 years.
Kar was a solo dancer in Indian TV and sang in several Indian movies, as well as in recordings and concert. She holds masters degrees in Odissi dance, Hindusthani classical vocal music and English literature.
For more information, contact Kar at 989-636-7037 or 989-859-3415 or go online to sangeetakar.com.

The 12-day world event that the Little League World Series has become starts Wednesday night with a first-class parade through the city of Williamsport.
It will be attended by thousands of people and will feature celebrities and all 16 teams participating in the tournament that starts Thursday.
That's a far cry from the days when an eight-team World Series started on Tuesday afternoon and ended on Saturday afternoon.
It seems the tournament itself has grown more intriguing each year, with something unique to the field of 16 teams each August.
Last year, the historic run by the Keystone Little League from the Lock Haven area gave the series its first local participant in more than 40 years.
Besides bringing record crowds to the series, the Keystoners held up their end of the bargain with excellence on the field, staying alive for the championship until the final Thursday.
This year, a team from Uganda expands the cultural and world presence among the field of 16 teams.
Those players will share a stage with seven other international teams and eight American teams that will make towns and cities famous over the coming days.
It's fair to say, with the addition of the Uganda team, the series has never been more legitimately worldwide than it is this year.
But the most recognizable datelines over the next 13 days will be the ones that say Williamsport or South Williamsport.
Much larger cities and venues cannot match the notoriety and attractiveness that this event, on the hilly stage that frames Lamade and Volunteer Stadiums, possesses.
We welcome the world, are proud of our community and hope everyone who discovers our corner of the globe in the days ahead finds the hidden jewel we believe we are.

Local Music Lineage - Then and Now
April 12, 2007 - Jim Price
Twenty years ago, local music and dance fans used to flock to Altoona's 4D's Lounge to see musicians named Wertz and Rutherford playing together on the same stage.
Now, twenty years later, local music and dance fans are again flocking to the 4D's Lounge, to see musicians named Wertz and Rutherford playing together on the same stage.
Those two surnames may be the same, but the generations and faces have changed.
Twenty years ago, the musicians were guitarist/singer Rick Wertz and bassist/singer Randy Rutherford, both playing for the popular Altoona-based rock, funk and dance band Xeno.
Now, the musicians are guitarist/singer Eric Wertz and drummer Evan Rutherford – the sons of Rick and Randy respectively – and they both play for the rising Altoona-based rock band 9 Planet Tour.
9 Planet Tour has quickly emerged into a favorite on Altoona area stages since they first surfaced last year. The group has developed a strong local fan base with a potent stage show and a wide-ranging song selection, spanning current rock favorites to classics, early Beatles, surf rock and more. 9 Planet Tour is also developing a catalog of original songs, any of which can surface during a given show as well.
Besides the Wertz and Rutherford generational connections, there is another similarity between the earlier Xeno and the current 9 Planet Tour: a powerful and rangeful female lead singer was/is at the front of each band. Twenty years ago, Xeno was fronted by a stellar singer named Paula Glunt, who could shake the heavens with her power and range. Likewise, 9 Planet Tour has such a singer as well, Erika Marino. She has the pipes, and she is not afraid to use them. Fans will know that Erika is on the stage when she belts out hearty vocal displays on such songs as Heart's "Barracuda," Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Piece of My Heart," Guns'N'Roses' "Sweet Child O'Mine" and others.
Two more members round out 9 Planet Tour's roster: guitarist/singer Brendon Burns, who is also one of the group's primary songwriters; and bassist Kelly Montgomery, a ten-year veteran of local stages.
If you haven't yet discovered 9 Planet Tour, the group will perform this Friday evening, April 13, at – where else? – Altoona's 4D's Lounge, starting at 10:30 PM.
And if you need a little extra incentive to venture out to this show, it is also a "Rock For The Troops" show. Volunteers from local music website Rockpage will be present with video cameras, to record the band and audience members extending greetings and showing support for our local troops serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. The footage will then be compiled onto DVD's and picture CD's to be sent to local Armed Forces units stationed in those two countries. Donations will also be collected to defray the cost of producing the DVD's, and to purchase phone cards for local troops.
This Friday evening will be your chance to catch a rising local band, and show appreciation for our local troops.
The 4D's Lounge is located inside the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center, along 17th Street in Altoona. For more information, call 943-9462.

Almost two weeks ago, 27-year-old Alaskan Cody Dial was reported missing on a kayak trip in Costa Rica. Dial is the son of Roman Dial, a well-known outdoorsman and Alaska Pacific University professor.
In a call from Costa Rica yesterday, the elder Dial says the search for his son has turned up nothing so far, and that requests for help from the U.S. by the Costa Rican government have not been answered.
Dial has asked that Alaska's Congressional delegation put pressure on U.S. officials to help. He says the process has stalled in bureaucratic – heavy Washington, DC
Dial says the Costa Rican Red Cross, which has been assisting in the search since August 1, decided to pull out of the rescue effort about a week ago. Dial says with a few experts in climbing and jungle living, he believes his son can be located
Dial thinks his son is in a dangerous area of Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park. The area is so hazardous it's off limits to tourists.
Roman Dial's wife, Peggy says Cody left Anchorage in December, bound for Mexico and Central America. She says her son is cautious and capable, and kept in touch with his parents through regular email and phone updates until the messages stopped coming in mid July.

Science isn't everyone's favorite subject in school, but some educators are trying to make it more interesting by bringing pet and other animal literature into the classroom.
The National Aviary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which houses more than 600 birds, used to provide an online web curriculum for teachers, homeschoolers and the casual web visitor. The topics covered are based on four frequently asked questions from visitors of the aviary: What do they eat? How do they fly? How do they have babies? Are they related to dinosaurs?
Under each of these categories there is information, online and off-line activities, debate topics and a teacher's guide that includes suggestions of how to introduce a chapter to the class, additional background information and a rubric for assessment. "It's fun, it's playful, but it's also quite serious," said Curator of Education, Amy Padolf. The aviary's curriculum won the 2002 Significant Achievement Award from the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, and it meets the U.S. Department of Education Content Standards and Benchmarks in science, environmental education and math. The curriculum is aimed at upper elementary to middle school children.
Across the Atlantic, the Loro Parque Foundation (www.loroparque.com) in Tenerife, Spain, hosted more than 29,000 students in 2004. Programs for visitors include a guided "Macaw Expedition" tour, the video "Paco the Parrot" and, this year, a new workshop on penguins.
More and more, pets are "being utilized in a growing number of rehabilitation and education programs nationwide," the American Pet Products Association (APPMA) found after the conclusion of its 2005-2006 National Pet Owners Survey. The survey also found that pet owners are more likely to have children under 18 years old at home when compared with the rest of the population.
"There are significant emotional and psychological benefits of pet ownership for children," said Bob Vetere, COO and managing director of APPMA. "The unconditional love pets provide helps foster confidence in children, and teaching children how to care for a pet provides an opportunity to demonstrate good values, proper behavior and respect for others."

This series consists of talks in the area of Foundations of Quantum Theory. Seminar and group meetings will alternate.
Bell's theorem shows that our intuitive understanding of causation must be overturned in light of quantum correlations. Nevertheless, quantum mechanics does not permit signalling and hence a notion of cause remains. Understanding this notion is not only important at a fundamental level, but also for technological applications such as key distribution and randomness expansion. It has recently been shown that a useful way to determine which classical causal structures give rise to a given set of correlations is to use entropy vectors.
In this talk, I will outline the current state of the art in the study of the reality of the quantum state. The main theme will be that, although you cannot derive the reality of the quantum state in an ontological model without additional assumptions, you can place constraints on the amount of overlap between probability measures that begin to make psi-epistemic theories look implausible.
In this talk I will go over the recent paper by Daniela Frauchiger and Renato Renner, "Single-world interpretations of quantum theory cannot be self-consistent" (arXiv:1604.07422).
The paper introduces an extended Wigner's friend thought experiment, which makes use of Hardy's paradox to show that agents will necessarily reach contradictory conclusions - unless they take into account that they themselves may be in a superposition, and that their subjective experience of observing an outcome is not the whole story.
Certain superposition states of the 1-D infinite square well have transient zeros at locations other than the nodes of the eigenstates that comprise them. It is shown that if an infinite potential barrier is suddenly raised at some or all of these zeros, the well can be split into multiple adjacent infinite square wells without affecting the wavefunction.
Most physicists take it for granted that the experimental violation of Bell's inequality provides evidence that it is not possible to completely describe the state of a physical system in terms of purely local information when this system is entangled with some other system. We disagree. Provided we redefine appropriately what is the information-theoretic state of a quantum system, it becomes possible to recover the whole from the description of its parts.
For a spin 1/2 (a qubit), Hamiltonian evolution is equivalent to an elliptic rotation of the (Bloch) spin vector in 3D space. In contrast, measurement alters the state norm, so may not be described as such a rotation. Nevertheless, extending the 3D spin vector to a 4D "spacetime" representation allows weak measurements to be interpreted as hyperbolic (boost) rotations. The combined Hamiltonian and measurement dynamics in continuous weak measurement trajectories are then equivalent to (stochastic) Lorentz transformations.
Considering a conformally coupled massless scalar field with arbitrary sign of kinetic energy and show that the conformal fluctuations in flatspace will increase without bounds if the mass of the scalar field is greater than a critical value.
We provide a classification of entangled states that uses new discrete entanglement invariants. The invariants are defined by algebraic properties of linear maps associated with the states. We prove a theorem on a correspondence between the invariants and sets of equivalent classes of entangled states. The new method works for an arbitrary finite number of finite-dimensional state subspaces. As an application of the method, we considered a large selection of cases of three subspaces of various dimensions.
Among QM's (in)famous oddities, perhaps the most intriguing is the capability of an event that did not occur, only could have, to exert a causal effect. How can a non-event leave a trace as concrete as a detector's click? I discuss this question and a novel insight into it offered by Cohen and Elitzur's "Quantum Oblivion" (20014).

DB is the proverbial "canary in the coalmine" for Europe. Perched atop one of the largest derivatives books in Europe, DB has ties to most major financial institutions in the region.
Diving into some of most burning questions on gold, USD, the yen, China, and more
Going through recent bullion bank shorting information, Adrian Douglas has stumbled across a nugget that may explain the sudden willingness of JPM to admit to the FT, via proxies as obviously the bank would never expose itself to even remote market manipulation claims, that it has collapsed its silver short. The reason: even as US bank silver (and gold) shorts by US banks have been gradually declining, those positions established by non-US bank, and thus entities not under the CFTC's control, have seen their silver shorts surge, increasing by orders of magnitude over the past several months. Is there a stealthy transfer of precious metals market manipulation taking place, one that exonerates the domestic, and therefore regulatable, suspects, while making foreign banks carry the burden of suppressing silver and gold prices? The reason: hand over the silver shorts to entities that would not be subject to the CFTC's upcoming size limit rules. Per Douglas: "The sudden and massive increase in their short positions in both
metals is conspicuous when compared with historical trading patterns.
The fact that it occurs at a time when the US banks that are mega-short
appear to be covering makes it doubly intriguing. It looks like a
strategy to shift suppression and manipulation of the market to banks
that are not under the direct supervision of the CFTC. Will these non-US
banks be expecting to receive an exemption to position limits where US
banks might not be successful?" We hope to get an answer to all these questions soon - Douglas has sent out the following letter to the only honest man at the CFTC, Bart Chilton, which explains Douglas' findings, and demands an inquiry into just who these foreign banks are that are suddenly shorting silver and gold on the margin at alarming rates.
A recap of today's activity, as little as it may have been, in stocks, vol, FX, rates and commodities.
According to an advance preview of an interview with Julian Assange by the Times of London's Alexi Mostrous, the Wikileaks founder has announced that he has "enough material to make bosses of a major US bank resign." While this can be merely the latest step in the chess game between Wikileaks and Bank of America, with the former assumed to hold destructive material on the other, with the latter escalating last Friday and blocking all of Wikileaks payments, as we reported over the weekend, it may potentially hold some insight into just what material Assange has on either Brian Moynihan, or some other bank executive. On the other hand, keep in mind that the Times of London is the only newspaper which has recently instituted a paywall with unpleasant result: as previously reported the Times, has scared off its advertisers and readers in droves, so there is always the possibility that this is merely a publicity stunt along the lines of how the Guardian got its traffic to explode and kill its site several times during the original cablegate releases.
EURCHF has been making all time lows, and so it did get one meager headline on Bloomberg but it wasn't exactly the talk of the town. However, the attached chart shows that EURCHF selling off implies that something bad is brewing for sovereign bonds in Europe. The chart represents the EURCHF against the spread between the 2Y average sovereign yield (weighted by notional outstanding) and the 2Y EONIA which is 2Y compounded overnight rate. One can see fairly quickly that over the past couple 18 months one rarely goes without the other. Practically it just means that whenever money is flying out of Euro into Swiss Franc it's highly likely that people (the same people) are getting rid of their Eurozone sovereign bonds. This is not the widest divergence we have seen but the EURCHF is breaking out lower, and with reports that last week's purchases of Eurozone bonds by the ECB was the lowest since the beginning of November it is not crazy to expect renewed selling pressure to manifest shortly. - Nic Lenoir
Even as the S&P closed modestly positive, there is yet another indicator added to all the other "massively overbought" technical signs we have discussed recently: namely the cumulative TICK. As can be seen on the charts below, both the S&P and the Nasdaq's cumulative TICK readings closed at the lows of the past several days, despite the fact that stocks once again rose to 2010 highs, while the Nasdaq hit 3 year high levels. For those who need a quick refresher course on what the TICK indicator shows, here is a great rehash by Brett Steenbarger. So how does explain this very apparent divergence between underlying buying, or as the case may be, selling pressure, and actual price dynamics? We wish we could tell you. At this point, with no volume, little volatility, stock markets are increasingly the plaything of those who continue to dabble in vol and other Greek letters. It is merely another indication that contrary to actual bid/offer interest, the market continues to do what the marginal market maker decides. In a normal world, we would claim there is some risk for a substantial reversion to the mean. However, for that to happen it would require at least some participation by trading interests which are not aligned with that of the Fed. And at last check, and following an endless equity fund stream of outflows, such did not exist.
RANsquawk Market Wrap Up - Stocks, Bonds, FX etc. – 20/12/10
Data this week is relatively light given and it's a holiday week. 3rd Quarter GDP at this point has no informative value regarding current and future economic activity. The slew of housing data is also inconsequential. Everyone knows housing is in a double dip so any slight improvement will be used by pundits to talk up the economy but fundamentals remain in the dumpster. Continuing claims is probably the most important piece of data this week given that durable goods is such a volatile series. As a result I feel the markets this week will be mainly driven by sentiment and price action rather than news flow, especially given thin late December markets. Here are some of the key elements I am watching. - Nic Lenoir
Heading into 2011, assuming there are no major liquidity/insolvency events (and that is a big assumption, considering Europe is out there, somewhere) which will force more countries to come begging to various central banks, and international monetary authorities, and ultimately, the Federal Reserve, the key question is how should one look at rates, particularly on the long-end, opportunities in a world in which suddenly everyone (expect the US of course), is seeing their economies contract courtesy of austerity (which was just voted Webster's word of the year 2010). Demonstrating the continuum when it comes to making credit differentiation conclusions based on fiscal inequality, is Nomura's chart of the week, which provides a convenient tearsheet for the progression from Hong Kong on one end of the fiscal balance shortfall forecast spectrum, and ending with Greece, Ireland and Spain on the other. As Nomura notes: "Heading into 2011, significant fiscal divergence looks like a key theme for markets." This merely goes back to our broader theme from earlier this year, that any real asset upside will have to be made in the FX market, where relative performances are likely underappreciated, as opposed to equities, which are largely shunned by most, and where the only possible trade remains a levered beta play which, as always, takes the escalator up and the elevator down.
The NIA continues with its series of bite-sized video documentaries exposing the stupidity and lies out of the US government. While the previous clip looked at a fictitious world in which the dollar had just died, today's is one which analyzes the plethora of unintended consequences that emerge as a result of the government's centrally planned tinkering. As always, it is a must watch, even if one does not agree with the NIA's overarching theme that government policies will ultimately result in uncontrollable price moves following the destruction of the reserve currency.
Today's second POMO just closed and the Fed has now purchased a total of just over $14 billion in bonds maturing between 2014-2016 and 2018-2020. Brian Sack has bought another $6.8 billion in bonds, at a Submitted to Accepted ratio of 2.4x, higher than the 2.2x earlier in the day as we expected. The flow proceeds appear to have had the express designation of being used to purchase ES as the second the second [sic] POMO closed, equities ramped up. To those who care, are positioned appropriately in this Madoff-style ponzi, and hope that just like in the Madoff case will not one day be forced to clawback proceeds (under calm and collected conditions or otherwise), our sincerest congratulations. To everyone else, we would like to note that today's 2Pm ramp in stocks comes at the cost of the Fed now being the proud owner of $991 billion in US debt. Tomorrow's two POMOs will likely seal the deal, making the Fed the only institutional holder/hedge fund in the world to own 13 digits worth of US paper.
Ben Bernanke is a highly educated PhD from Princeton who has never worked a day in the real world since he graduated from college in 1975. His entire life has been spent in the ivory tower of academia surrounded by models and theories that work perfectly in the comfort of his office. After building his reputation as an "expert" on the Great Depression by studying it and reaching the wrong conclusions, he came down from his ivory tower in 2002 to join an organization that has systematically destroyed the value of the US currency, thereby undermining the well being of the once vibrant middle class...If the Grinch had been pimping for a small pack of Grinchsters who impoverished the honest people of Whoville, then the Dr. Seuss poem would have perfectly described Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve and the banksters that run the show here in the USA. The actions taken by Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and their brethren on the Federal Reserve over the last quarter century have destroyed the middle class and left senior citizens impoverished, while enriching its Wall Street masters. Now he is stealing Christmas from the hard working middle class of this country.
The theater of the macabre goes one further following the just released response by Whitney Tilson to this morning's attempted rebuke of the short Netflix thesis by Reed Hasting. StreetInsider cites Tilson, who told the breaking news site the following: ""I'm glad Reed Hastings took the time to reply to some of the issues we raised. He made a number of good points and helped us -- and other investors -- understand him and his company better. I think a friendly, respectful debate like this is healthy and wish there was more of it." We are now holding our breath until we get Reed's response to this follow up response, to his original response, over just how overvalued his company is. Ironically, we don't really see what the reason for this theatrical acrimony is: after all it is pretty obvious that both Hastings (and the firm's CFO prior to his surprising resignation recently) and Tilson are on the same side of the trade.
Nothing to see here: just Brian Sack handing out fitties for the second time today so Prime Brokers such as Jefferies which apparently can't even balance its books (from Jefferies preliminary results: "The results were preliminary because Jefferies is trying to reconcile differences in records between it and an unnamed clearing bank that deals with a portion of its fixed-income business. The clearing bank's records differ from Jefferies's figures by $39 million, and if correct, may cause 2010 profit to be reduced by 7 cents to $1.08, the firm said in the statement." All in a day's work when nobody gives two cents about what lies behind the numbers, pun intended) go out and buy some Amazon for prop accounts. This particular POMO will buy Treasurys due between 12/31/2014 - 05/31/2016 for a total of about $7 billion. Results posted here in 45 minutes. We expect the submitted to accepted ratio to be notably higher than this morning's 2.2x.
RANsquawk US Afternoon Briefing - Stocks, Bonds, FX etc. – 21/12/10
By now everyone has seen and played with the US debt clock via usdebtclock.org whereby anyone who so wishes, can find every little detail about America's current sad fiscal state. The fact that America currently has just under $14 trilllion in national debt should be no surprise to anyone who professes to having an even modest interest in the state of the US economy. Yet a new feature on the "debt clock", namely one which extrapolates future debt at current rates of advancement (instead of one based on the always completely inaccurate CBO estimates), and looks at US debt in the year 2015 will probably make many stop dead in the their tracks. If anyone thought that $14 trillion in 2010 debt is bad, just wait until we hit $24.5 trillion in total US national debt in 2015. And it gets even more surreal: total US Unfunded Liabilities are estimated at $144 trillion, roughly $1.2 million per taxpayer... Was that a pin dropping?

On Tuesday 26th June Emma Church and myself community colleagues from Chelmer Village and South Woodham Ferrers went to Billericay Cricket club to take part in the regional kwik Cricket Finals. There were 21 schools taking part 168 children. All the children wore white T/Shirts with Asda on it this looked great, the field was covered in white. It was lovely talking to the children who were all passionate about their cricket. It was a very hot day to which we run out of water towards the end but we were able to get some from the bar with ice in. The children thought this was great when we filled up their water bottles with water with ice in. It was a great day cannot wait to next year!

Like the morning mist rising from County Donegal's Loch Altan, the music played by the band that bears its name reflects a beauty steeped in Irish mysticism. The band's first album on a major label is a heartfelt collection of stirring jigs, reels and hornpipes and of soulful folk ballads. It is sure to strengthen its reputation as one of the finest traditional bands in Ireland and solidify its growing following in the U.S.
It's also Altan's first album since co-founder and flute player Frankie Kennedy died of cancer in 1994. His wife and cofounder Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh (Ma-RAID Nee WEE-nee) plays lead fiddle on "A Tune for Frankie," a mournful but uplifting tribute to her husband. Ni Mhaonaigh grew up in stark and beautiful Donegal and sings ballads in both her native Gaelic (translations are provided) and English with such an angelic voice that the devilish twists in the songs take you by surprise. In "Blackwaterside," a traditional song written from a woman's perspective (a rarity), a maiden done wrong declares that she will only marry "When fishes can fly/ And the seas run dry."
Despite the loss of Kennedy, the group's inherent good spirits clearly remain. The melodic interplay of Ni Mhaonaigh's fiery fiddle with that of fellow fiddler Ciaran Tourish and accordionist Dermot Byrne drives "Johnny Boyle's" and "Dogs Among the Bushes" with such gusto that it's nearly impossible to keep from dancing. (Virgin)

"Hello friends, what is the purpose of meditation? The purpose of meditation is to reconnect to the true being. What I do mean by reconnecting to the true being? I mean at the deep level you are always connected.
It is not impossible to reconnect because you are eternally connected, but the mind –the ego feels quite often unconnected, doesn't it?
So the purpose of meditation is to bring your mind and your experience back to the reality of connectedness and to the fundamental truths that your true nature is eternally connected "with all"
Another purpose is to go beyond the mind – beyond the duality . You might be in a situation where you are financially broke and there are many difficulties like perhaps you cannot pay the mortgage of your house, you have to put away these and that, you may be lost or loosing your money and stocks which your mind can't help but be full of these worries of what to do with your financials or financial life and which eventually the other parts of your life – silence, joy, contentment are blown away.
So Mediation gives you a chance to reconnect to that level (of silence, joy, and contentment) though your house might be gone away and any money of yours will be loss, still you could reconnect and gain a new perspective on life, on values, and more intelligent solutions to the problems or challenges you face in life.
Purpose # 3 is to wake up and bring light into your life, whatever wherever you are doing with your state of mind is. It is possible to invite more and more light into your life and share your joy with others."

Archival Quality Digital Scrapbooking Software
I needed a very quick page to finish off a special memory album for my DIL's birthday. It had taken me months to do, but my husband pointed out that I hadn't many photos of the girls with my DIL, only by themselves and with other people.
I thought this cute template was perfect, pulling unrelated photos together so nicely.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- MLive Kalamazoo Gazette photographers looked back over their assignments from the past week to select some of their favorite and most meaningful photos to write about. Here are their thoughts on this week's best-of collection.
Mark Bugnaski, multimedia specialist
This has been a busy week, between attending MLive training in Grand Rapids and with helping to gear-up our new Multimedia Specialist intern, Junfu Han. We are pleased to welcome Junfu, a photojournalist from China, and you'll be seeing his photos appear in the Gazette and on MLive.com in the coming weeks.
On Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday: People gathered Wednesday at the Student Commons Lyceum at Kalamazoo Valley Community College to honor Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and commemorate the slain civil rights leader with readings. The gathering was quiet at first, with mostly KVCC staff standing up to read one of King's speeches, a poem about Dr. King or facts about his life.
Marcelous Zoss, 23, of Kalamazoo, who is studying social work at KVCC, shared the poem Standing Tall by Jamie McKenzie. His voice was eloquent and grabbed my attention as he read the text from his smart phone. I was listening, and in doing so, was reminded of the historic influence of Dr. King and his will to speak up and evoke change by way of peaceful means.
On suspicious house fires: Two vacant houses across from one another on Elizabeth Street in Kalamazoo have been destroyed by fire. They are two of the five vacant houses in the city that have burned in the past six weeks. To report on the suspicious fires on Elizabeth Street, I took two different photos using different lenses to show the landscape -- a wide angle lens to capture the larger scene and a telephoto lens to compress the space between the two houses. Both show comparatively how close the fires are to one other, but with creating different visual effects from the same position.
Chuck Miller, multimedia specialist intern
On prep basketball: I got to cover a good amount of prep basketball last week shooting Otsego vs. Vicksburg and Kalamazoo Central vs. Loy Norrix. I've been covering a lot of basketball lately, the only thing I dislike about shooting basketball is how bad it makes me want to play. I've been noticing improvements in my photos from game to game and looking forward to getting better as the season rolls on. Looking ahead, I'm going to try and look for new and interesting angles to capture the atmosphere of the games better so readers can get a feel for what it was like to attend.
On the 2014 Snow Jog: Covering the Bell's 2014 Snow Jog was probably the most exercise I've gotten on an assignment thus far. Finding myself actually running with the participants at some points was a lot of fun, and so was shooting the various challenges at each checkpoint and talking with participants. It's so awesome to see hundreds of residents and local businesses get involved in events like this. It really pulls a city together. But as much as I like covering the events, I hope one day I can be in one and get the full experience.

About 20 Greeley police officers were involved Friday night in a chase and search for a suspect who fled when officers tried to arrest him.
The incident began about 8 p.m. in the 1900 block of 30th Street when officers from the Gang Unit and Special Enforcement Team, who had been conducting surveillance on a suspect who had six warrants for his arrest, executed a traffic stop. When officers stopped the man, Edward Benavidez, 29, of Greeley, he got out of the passenger side of the car and fled on foot, Greeley police Lt. Adam Turk said.
The officers chased the man who was initially able to elude them. Eventually, a K-9 unit found Benavidez hiding under a car near 30th Street and 17th Avenue, near the Greeley Mall. He was taken into custody about 8:45 p.m., Turk said.
Benavidez faces charges related to warrants for larceny, domestic violence, shoplifting, trespassing and theft, Turk said.
"The Gang Unit and Special Enforcement Team did a really good job with this," Turk said.

Many industry observers expect 2014 to be exciting in terms of new product debuts in the tech sector, as many of the world's largest tech companies all vie for their piece of emerging growth markets in both watches and TVs. Samsung is widely expected to beat its archrival Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) as the first to enter the smart watch space, by launching its Galaxy Gear smart watch next month. However, Apple's rumored iWatch recently made headlines, as one analyst suggested the next-gen device could make tens of billions of dollars in its first year on the market alone. In this video, Fool contributor Andrew Tonner discusses the news and how it could affect Apple's stock.
As the global tech landscape evolves from smartphones to tablets and eventually to smart watches, the biggest titans will increasingly invade one another's turf. At stake is the future of the evolving trillion-dollar revolution in mobile. To find out which of these giants is set to dominate the next decade, we've created a free report called "Who Will Win the War Between the 5 Biggest Tech Stocks?" Inside, you'll find out which companies are set to dominate and give in-the-know investors an edge. To grab a copy of this report, simply click here -- it's free!

After Chris Rahl led off the game with a double, Roberts' ninth homer of the season gave the Aces a two-run lead before Portland recorded an out. Reno would add another in the first and coast to the victory behind strong pitching by Matt Torra. The Aces also benefited from eight Portland walks, ensuring that their final game at Portland's PGE Park would be a victorious one.
Torra (7-6) kept the Beavers at bay, tossing eight innings and surrendering just two runs on six hits. Jose Marte threw the final inning for Reno to preserve the victory.
Cesar Ramos (2-4) was tagged with the loss, giving up eight hits and five runs-four earned-in four innings of work.
Roberts' first-inning homer was one of three long balls for the Aces. Mark Hallberg hit his first of the season, while Brandon Allen added his team-leading 13th dinger in the eighth inning. Rahl scored twice and recorded two hits from the leadoff spot.
The Aces return home Friday to begin an eight-game homestand against Fresno and Las Vegas. Friday's pitching matchup will feature Aces RHP Wes Roemer (1-5, 7.08 ERA) against Grizzlies LHP Matt Yourkin (6-3, 3.39 ERA). First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. from Aces Ballpark, and is a Saint Mary's Fireworks Friday presented by KOLO 8, with a fireworks show immediately following the game.
Tickets for all Aces games start at just $7, and are available by calling the Reno Aces box office at (775) 334-7000 or by visiting RenoAces.com. The brand-new Freight House District, located just outside Aces Ballpark, is open seven days a week, on both game days and non-game days.

Philly priest accuser says he withdrew after abuse
PHILADELPHIA -- A policeman's son testified Tuesday that he withdrew from friends, sports and school clubs, and began a long descent into heroin addiction, after he was molested by two priests and a teacher at a Catholic school by age 11.
The gaunt, troubled 24-year-old has become a key figure in the decadelong prosecution of priest sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Tuesday marked the second time he's testified in court, but he'll likely face his first cross-examination today.
His stunning complaint, filed in 2009, led to 2012's landmark child-endangerment conviction of a Philadelphia church official who transferred accused pedophile priests to new parishes at the behest of two archbishops.
According to the witness Tuesday, defrocked priest Edward Avery made him do a striptease dance and engage in oral sex after a Saturday Mass in 1999.
"He just sat there with this eerie smile. Like he wouldn't want to be anywhere else but there," the accuser testified. "He said, 'This is what God wants.'"
The accuser said he walked home afterward and took a shower.
Avery has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the former altar boy. But the Rev. Charles Engelhardt, 66, of Wyndmoor, and ex-teacher Bernard Shero, 49, of Levittown, are fighting the charges at trial.
Defense lawyers will no doubt attack inconsistencies between his testimony and that of other witnesses today.

Loved this hotel. Stayed one week to be closer to the office. At the last minute and with high occupancy that week, the staff provided me with a smallish but charming room on one of the conscierge floors. The staff was quite, efficient, and helpful. A full breakfast and afternoon "snacks" (more like a meal) were included everday in a quite dining room on the same floor with an attendant on duty. I would have moved in if I could have. I tried out the pool -- it was excellent for a lap swim.

In the midst of a national debate on whether entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid can cut costs while running their systems more efficiently, a new center for Medicare and Medicaid innovation was launched Tuesday to explore better ways to deliver healthcare while improving payment systems that can save money.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said the center, which was created by the Affordable Care Act, will consult a diverse group of healthcare stakeholders including hospitals, doctors, consumers, payers, states, employers, advocates and relevant federal agencies, to discuss ways in which healthcare providers can coordinate their efforts, supported by technology, to drive greater efficiency into healthcare delivery.
"For too long, healthcare in the United States has been fragmented -- failing to meet patients' basic needs, and leaving both patients and providers frustrated. Payment systems often fail to reward providers for coordinating care and keeping their patients healthy reinforcing this fragmentation," Donald Berwick, CMS Administrator, said in a statement. "The Innovation Center will help change this trend by identifying, supporting and evaluating models of care that both improve the quality of care patients receive and lower costs."
The center will focus its attention on three main areas. These are:
-- Better Care for Individuals: Improving care for patients in formal care settings like hospitals, nursing homes and doctors' offices, and developing innovations that make care safer, more patient-centered and more efficient. The Innovation Center will also promote the use of "bundled payments," an approach to paying for care where providers collaborate to manage multiple procedures as part of a single episode with a single payment, rather than the current fee-for-service method of submitting separate bills for each procedure, which leads to higher costs.
-- Coordinating Care to Improve Health Outcomes for Patients: Developing new models that make it easier for doctors and clinicians in different care settings to work together to care for a patient. Examples include identifying and widely deploying the best advanced primary care and health home models, and supporting innovations in accountable care organizations.
-- Community Care Models: Exploring steps to improve public health and make communities healthier and stronger. The Innovation Center will work to identify and address major public health crises and the appropriate interventions for areas of great concern, such as obesity, smoking and heart disease.
The Innovation Center will offer contracts of up to $1 million each for 15 states that design demonstration projects to fully integrate care for dual eligibles (individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid). According to CMS, dual eligibles account for 16 to 18 percent of enrollees in Medicare and Medicaid, but roughly 25 to 45 percent of spending in these programs respectively. Significant health benefits and savings can come from better coordinating the care of low-income seniors and people with disabilities. States may apply for resources to support the demonstration projects they design beginning in December. In 2011, the Center will be announcing two additional demonstrations that will focus respectively on providers and beneficiaries.

Is there a reason he can't do both?
We're now down to an
We're now down to an "innings watch" and hoping Maddux gets knocked out of the first inning of the remainder of his starts?
All he's done is make every start, never complain, and far too many times has he given the Cubs a legitimate chance to win only to see the bullpen screw it up or the offense do the same.
I do hope Maddux moves on. I hope he asks to be let out of the deal and goes to an organization that deserves a pitcher like him. And then I hope to watch the Cubs continue to lose and find the least likely suspects to blame once again.
You know, the organization itself is embarassing enough. Why do you guys try to outdo them?
I started the innings watch
I started the innings watch a long time ago when Greg was in a period of particularly crappiness. Nothing against the guy, just wanted to keep track of something that a lot of people were asking about.
And I don't think anyone really wants him knocked out of the first inning or anything like that, just having some fun.

Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.
rain delay...thanks obama.
Thanks again Phil. We actually were in Mesa and drove around. Hopefully, I am back for some Fall League. If not I have all of spring training (like the smart people who move here!)
What Rob G said. I can't speak for Piittsburgh, but the other end of the state has had absolute crap weather for two days. Perfect day to take it easy.
tarp came off 10 minutes ago...let's do this.

Even though Hammel is missing start, don't assume he'll not be on #Cubs postseason roster. Maddon says elbow problem isn't that bad

Maddon on #Cubs postseason rotation: "I don't want to announce anything. We haven't talked to anybody yet"

Maddon hopes Soler can take BP in Cincy, play in sim game Tue. "All of that should give us some kind of indication of where he's at"
tarp on the field 40 minutes before gametime...meh.
travel day + rain in Pittsburgh. Why risk injury?
