University of Miami Mourns Footballer Jojo Nicolas on Twitter
The University of Miami community was saddened to hear that former football player Jojo Nicolas died around 5 p.m. Wednesday after a horrific crash involving a semi-trailer truck on the MacArthur Causeway Tuesday. Fans, students, and Nicolas' former teammates took to Twitter to send their prayers and communicate their grief.
A social media trail shows that Nicolas and his brother Abner Davis had been pre-celebrating Nicolas' 25th birthday (on March 3) at Mansion Nightclub in South Beach. Before the crash, Davis' Twitter was filled with anticipatory statements of your typical club night, and after the crash, he was heartbroken.

It's just after noon on a Friday in Eugene, Oregon—sunny, not humid—and organist Barbara Baird is sounding out the first notes of Baroque composer Franz Tunder's characterful Preludium in G Minor. A genteel and mostly gray audience—it is a Friday afternoon, mid-summer, in a midsize college town after all—responds warmly to her incisive performance on the Moeller organ at First Congregational Church. The Oregon Bach Festival enters another day of music-making in its 38th season.
Since the advent of Tanglewood in Massachusetts' blissful Berkshires in the late 1930s, attending a local (or international) summer classical music festival in your choice of idyllic scenic locales has become de rigueur among a certain monied faction of classical music "fans." Some attend these festivals for escape or vacation; some to taste wines or travel scenic drives. And some (believe it) come for the music.
I hadn't been to the Oregon Bach Festival since, as a student, I had taken part in a summer vocal program at the
University of Oregon—that was more than a decade ago now. And then, prior to my conservatory music education, I didn't have a taste for the bite and sizzle that thrilling performances of Baroque music can provide. I remember this much of my experience way back when: I slept through most of Bach's B Minor Mass.
And so, with a Portland musical colleague in tow, I ventured last Friday to Eugene in the heat of summer and certainly in the heat of the Bach Festival. If Eugene's fest is among the Northwest's largest for classical music, I thought to myself, then I've got to go again and see (hear) what all the buzz is about. And no snoozing this time.
I-5, Speeding Along
The idea was to drive down and back in about eight hours with my colleague to get a small—and inevitably not entirely representative—sampling of what has become, over 38 seasons, one of Oregon's most successful summer arts festivals. And to see if we could locate a bit of Bach's spirit.
Speeding along I-5 to Eugene, I popped in the first of several Bach CDs for our mutual consideration. It was Philipe Herreweghe's recording of the Bach "St. John Passion," from 2003 on Harmonia Mundi. Broader tempos than the frenzied speeds so many of Herreweghe's contemporaries take with this music—movement for movement's sake. Instead of the opening "Herr, unser Herrscher" striking a note terror, it expanded into an awesome tidal wave of sound, wave over wave.
We tried a few movements of Robert Shaw's late 1980's take on the Bach "Magnificat" (Telarc), but dissolved into giggles at the mannered, bloodless playing and singing. Well-spoken without being articulate; everywhere accurate but rarely more than that. Dawn Upshaw was the sole redeeming force in a thoughtful "Quia respexit." And so we moved to one of her CDs, Bach and Handel ("Angels Hide Their Faces," Nonesuch), for a few minutes of sublime singing.
Taking this sort of musical tour (there were nearly a dozen CDs involved) seemed especially appropriate as we sped toward our destination that morning. We decided against listening to Festival artistic director Helmuth Rilling's recordings—and found out later, by coincidence, that neither of us in fact owned a single one of his.
And Now To… Marpurg?
Once in Eugene, it was straightaway to Baird's self-described organ program of "underdog composers:" contemporaries, predecessors and successors of J.S. Bach, including the only minutes of Bach heard that entire day (by August Wilhelm Bach, though not even a blood relation to the mighty J.S.) and some delicious chorale variations by later Baroque composer Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg. Though variations on chorale tunes were being written well before Bach took them up (to frequently glorious heights) and many other composers have since placed these gem-tunes in their own unique settings, Marpurg's jaunty and joyous variation on "Ein Feste Burg" grabbed me especially. Here's Baird's performance of it:
Discovering Haydn
The afternoon brought the Festival's lecture-performance "Discovery Series" program at Eugene's
Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Portland would be so lucky to have a venue like the Hult, which comprises a number of theatre and music venues under one downtown roof. The Soreng Theatre, where the "Discovery" programs took place, is the perfect example of a type of performance space Portland desperately needs: mid-sized, acoustically appealing, appropriate for everything from chamber opera to jazz.
The idea behind the "Discovery" series is a simple and popular one in classical music programming today: let a performer (or conductor in this case) speak passionately about the music s/he is about to perform or conduct, provide insights and examples and "listening cues" for your audience. Give us something to listen for or some context or commentary that we wouldn't otherwise have on the works.
Here's some of what I heard on that Friday afternoon "Discovery Series" program, where Rilling offered thoughts on and excerpts from Joseph Haydn's "Theresa Mass."
Rilling's an interesting man. More than 50 years ago he began his lifelong dedication to Bach study and conducting his works. With Royce Saltzman (recently retired as Executive Director of the Fest) in 1970 he came to Eugene and founded the Festival. A lot has happened in early music scholarship and performance practice in the 38 seasons since Rilling founded his worthy Festival; the way in which music from the Baroque and Classical periods is considered and interpreted has changed dramatically.
But Rilling, if his recordings and performances are to believed, has decided to stand staunchly behind his Old World thinking about this music. Some of this generation's most important scholars, conductors and performers continue to pass the Oregon Bach Festival by—almost the entire spate of players and singers in the Festival are Rilling protégés or frequent collaborators with the conductor. And until Rilling passes the baton to a dynamic new Artistic Director more in step with current scholarship and trends in performance practice—it's rumored to be happening in 3 to 5 years—the Oregon Bach Festival, while a valuable part of this musical community, will continue to be left behind.
I sat down for a few brief minutes with Rilling to discuss some of these things. Here are some of his thoughts. (Excuse my affirmative vocal interjections.)
Thoroughly exhausted, then, from a full day of music and food and sun and conversation, my colleague and I hopped back to his car and onto the highway. We put on some pop music (a CD from Portland singer-songwriter Holcombe Waller). And letting the wind and sun burst out with the explosive vocals on the car stereo, we enjoyed a little summer music festivaling of our own.

Ok, my situation is just slowly simmering right now. I can feel an explosion heading my way in the near future however. I guess just past experience and a gut feeling have me thinking this way. I also am going to clean out my parents car this weekend and tell them that they can have it back as I purchased my own. I doubt that this is going to go over very well.
I have a couple of emails from a past blow up and I am wanting to see if you ladies think that if the need arose I could use them in case my family suddenly decided to fire me and refused unemployment. I know the information is a bit one sided so feel free to ask questions. I am still out there job hunting but jobs are a bit scarce in my area.
Email entitled DAD QUIT
This email came after I had proposed, not demanded, that I train our other employee as a backup to my position to allow me more flexability with time (in case of sick children or sick self).
After conversations with DB I have deduced that what I really need to do is not quit but to exercise my authority a Responsible Operator in Charge. A review of the situation shows that I need to replace the operator of the systems in (County where I work). DB and I will split the work as best we can and allow Sibyle to work closer to home with less time involvement as she is requesting.
As the office needs an additional person to organize the storage area and play all round go-fer Sibyle is the lead candidate for this position as responsibility for operations do not seem it interest her at this time. Mom will be her direct supervisor in this position and will then be able to closely monitor her daily activities for the company. This should allow Sibyle the time she needs for family and school. Mom, Secretary and Sibyle can then support the two operators in the field. This arrangement should pacify all the family members for a while, I hope.
2nd email in this series:
Here is the problem. You will not listen to what the BOSS says. Period end of story, game over. You have made my job difficult for the last time, period. Your attitude toward your job is that it is a pain in your ass and you have many other much more important things to do. I agree, please allow me to put a person in the position who will do the job. It is very clear to me that you don't want the job. I have agreed to allow you to collect funds from this company so that you and my grandchildren can get by. I will not allow you to jepordize the customers that we service. I have shown you where and how to sample at (Place I work). I have explained it over the phone. Sampling at this site takes at least six hours and must be done correctly each and every time it is done. The sampling results show they are not being taken correctly. Any operator or regulator with experience can and will see this by looking at the results of the sampling. Your flat out refusal to record the information I have asked you to record is simple stubborness on your part and had it been anyone else I would have fired them on the spot.
You need to sit down and think long and hard about where you are going in this life because the road you are traveling is not one I will go down. Finish your schooling. Go get, and hold a responsible job and take care of your family. I am damn tired of your passive aggressive push toward me personally. Please take it someplace else. I have been the brunt of your problems long enough. Your working with mom and Secretary will be helpful and will allow you to focus on your schooling and the boys. Take advantage of it while you can. DB and I will not be able to keep up this pace for long. When we are worn out from the pace we will have to keep to support you and the boys we will just begin to drop systems so we can have a life too.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Plot Summary
Protagonist Alex DeLarge is an "ultraviolent" youth in futuristic Britain. As with all luck, his eventually runs out and he's arrested and convicted of murder and rape. While in prison, Alex learns of an experimental program in which convicts are programmed to detest violence. If he goes through the program, his sentence will be reduced and he will be back on the streets sooner than expected. But Alex's ordeals are far from over once he hits the mean streets of Britain that he had a hand in creating.- Written by Nikki Carlyle
In a near-futuristic society, late teen Alex DeLarge is the leader of a gang of thugs - his "droogs" - who commit acts of ultra-violence, often with sexual components, without any regard for their victims, and purely because it strikes their collective fancies. These acts are largely fueled by drug use. In addition, Alex is a lover of music, especially that of Ludwig van Beethoven, which, when he listens to it during these acts, intensifies his pleasure, and in turn inspires him to commit further such acts. He does not tolerate any challenge to his leadership by his droogs. Although the authorities in general know of Alex's delinquency, they have so far been unable to catch him in the act of his crimes, until one night after a sexual assault of an older woman. Alex and Alex alone is charged, convicted and incarcerated. But Alex sees what he believes is an easy way out when the government looks for subjects to participate in a new rehabilitation therapy, the end result being release from prison after the two week therapy. The therapy ends up having consequences that Alex did not envision. The questions become how Alex will function, and how others will act toward him in his changed state.- Written by Huggo
Alex DeLarge leads a gang of "droogs" that go around at night and commit crimes and ultra violence, but he soon gets caught and has to serve 14 years in prison, yet 2 years later Alex volunteers to go with a new expiriment called The "Ludavico Technique" which will cancel his prison sentence and release him as he would be cured from violent acts, but has no idea what troubles he will face now.
In a futuristic Britain, a gang of teenagers go on the rampage every night, beating and raping helpless victims. After one of the boys quells an uprising in the gang, they knock him out and leave him for the police to find. He agrees to try "aversion therapy" to shorten his jail sentence. When he is eventually released, he hates violence, but the rest of his gang members are still after him.- Written by Colin Tinto <email@example.com>
Alex DeLarge, a teenage hooligan in a near-future Britain, gets jailed by the police. There he volunteers as guinea pig for a new aversion therapy proposed by the government to make room in prisons for political prisoners. "Cured" of his hooliganism and released, he is rejected by his friends and relatives. Eventually nearly dying, he becomes a major embarrassment for the government, who arrange to cure him of his cure.- Written by Steven Pemberton <firstname.lastname@example.com>
In future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge is jailed and volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem - but not all goes according to plan.- Written by Tomius J. Barnard

Queen Victoria and Photography
Images of Her Majesty are now on exhibit in Los Angeles
The dour image of the widowed Queen Victoria—portly, fussy, clothed all in black—is the one people know best. But the monarch's life in pictures was, in fact, a predominantly happy one. The medium of photography was invented not long after the young queen took the throne in 1837, and she and her husband, Albert, embraced it eagerly, documenting their children, castles, and staff. Not only did the queen actively commission works on topics such as war and nature by photographers like Julia Margaret Cameron and Gustave Le Gray, but Albert also helped propel the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London's Crystal Palace, which showcased the nation's breakthrough technology, notably British cameras and photos. Together, the couple started the Royal Photograph Collection, which has amassed 450,000 images. Beginning February 4 (through June 8), the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles celebrates Her Majesty's surprisingly cutting-edge avocation in "A Royal Passion: Queen Victoria and Photography." Perhaps her chief contribution to the medium was her stardom—after all, snaps of her proliferated at a time when the sun never set on the British empire. The first monarch to have her life so thoroughly documented, Victoria was also one of the world's first celebrities.Follow Us:

Personally I look at it like this, if you are in the market for a BluRay player. Then the PS3 is an insane deal. If you want it as a gaming system. Then it is simply retarded to even go there. Not one game that is out is worth $700+ bucks. I don't care how you cut it. Even next Christmas when they have plenty to go around, I still don't think any game is worth that kinda cash. Hell you can buy a damn arcade machine for that much. Most computer systems these days dont cost that much. Hell thats more then some people are paying for their high def tv's. It's just nuts that at this point in the electronic world when computers are disposable pieces of furniture that they would even consider making the PS3 at that starting point. It is company suicide if you ask me. Hell parents have a hard enough time buying xb360 for their kids. Now you toss another $300 -$500 on top of that. Nuts. I truly don't see how Sony is gonna survive with out the PS3 quickly dropping in price to around $399. Rest In peace Sony, your days are numbered as a game system company.

A closer look at Davante Gardner
Had a chance to talk to both Davante Gardner, the Marquette Golden Eagles' latest signee, and Josh Worrell, Gardner's coach at King's Fork High School in Suffolk, Va. on Monday night.
Gardner apparently lets his game do most of his talking, because he wasn't too chatty when asked about his reasons for signing with MU and his background. Considering all the phone calls he'd likely fielded, he might have been talked out already.
Worrell did say Gardner is a quiet guy who opens up as he becomes more comfortable with his surroundings. Fair enough. So we'll let Worrell do the talking for Gardner.
Here's what he had to say about the 6-foot-8, 295-pounder:
Why did Davante choose MU? "Buzz Williams had some positives, and at the end of the day you want to see what's best for (Davante). The situation there, being a big kid and coming to Marquette in the realm of seeing their roster this year, the amount of big kids that are there right now – he'd have a very good chance of getting some minutes early on."
What are Davante's strengths? "He's very, very skilled for a big guy his size. That's why a tremendous amount of people were recruiting him. He has a very good skill set. He doesn't drop passes. He has a soft touch. He was our best free-throw shooter – he shot about 80 percent, and there were games where he shot 19 for 21, 15 for 17. When he gets the ball inside there's not many times he does not score. That came in the high-school aspect, playing 1-on-2, 1-on-3 and he's still able to get the ball in the hoop.
"He does a great job of positioning his body to catch the ball, and that makes it harder for people to block his shots – even at the same height he is. If we were playing a shooting game, kids would pick him first because his touch is so soft. They played an all-star game here recently and he hit a couple threes in transition. I never doubted if he was the last man down in transition or whatever when he shot it if it was going in. He just shoots the ball so well from that range."
Davante had narrowed his choices down to MU and South Florida. Who else had been recruiting him earlier on? "VCU had been in the mix for a long time. Maryland liked him a lot. Georgetown liked him. Cincinnati came in messing with him some because his cousin is Jaquon Parker and plays there. There were a lot of them, and it just got to the point where Davante was like, 'Coach, I just want to deal with these two,' and at that point some of the other ones backed off. So at least he wasn't stringing anyone along. But this last week or so Maryland called back, Penn State called. He's a good get as a big guy, because he can do other things besides post up."
Why did he wait so long to sign? "At one point he wanted to sign on signing day and I said, 'Davante, make sure you look at everything. Weigh all your options. Don't choose something too quick just to say you're choosing something.' Then I would go to him once a week and say, 'Could you make a decision now?' And he'd say, 'Eighty percent.' And I'd say, 'No, you need to be 100 percent. This is a four- or five-year marriage, basically. You don't want to be 80 percent sure.' He finally got to 100 percent, and this seemed to be the best fit for him."
Reports are he dropped a good deal of weight prior to his senior year. Is that true? "His junior year he was a little bit bigger, and his play this year was totally different than last year. Some of the guys at Marquette saw us play the year prior and said, 'That's a totally different kid – he gets off the floor better, he runs better.' He was much more explosive this year than he was the year prior due to losing some of that weight. Wherever he goes, he's going to lose some more and that's just going to make his game flourish even more."
Has the coaching staff at MU given Davante a target weight to try and reach? "They never said, 'Hey, you've got to be at this weight to play here and vice versa.' They expressed to him just like every other school that you're going to have to trim down some weight, but they never said, 'Hey, if you don't lose this amount of weight you won't play.' They seemed to feel that weight is an issue to a certain point, but if you can get up and down the floor and play, then you can do it. But I know they want him to lose some weight."
Is Davante losing a good deal more weight heading into his career at MU a realistic possibility? "It is. The only thing is, a lot of them showing interest in him was due to the fact of the weight loss he had the summer prior. If he hadn't lost any of that weight or changed his body from his junior year to his senior year, I could see a lot of people being like, 'Is he really going to do it? Because he hasn't done it yet.' But they see him losing 15 to 20 pounds over a summer and into the basketball season, and I think that they see that it can happen and he's willing to change some things and make it happen, too.' "
What kind of kid is Davante? "He's very quiet until he gets to know people. On his visit Coach Collins was like, 'He just didn't want to talk to too many people,' and I was like, 'Well, he's kind of quiet until he gets to know you.' He's opened up. Every year I've had him he's opened up more, including this year being a senior and trying to be a leader. He has desire to win; he hates losing. He's only lost four times in the last two years. He'll do anything to try and win. Our last game we lost in triple overtime, he had 37 points and 20-something rebounds. He'd try to find a way for us not to lose, but you can't win them all."
Can you talk a litle more about Davante's skills? "He actually can move side-to-side, laterally. He loves handling the basketball, and is very good at that. Coach Williams told him prior, 'We know what you can do from the three-point line; we want to find out what you can do inside it. If you can do that, you can have a very good career here.' I think that's the main thing. Nobody really questions if he can play defense, if he can score, if he can rebound. They want to make sure he can get up and down the floor, because in college the game is much faster paced than a high-school game."
You're located in a pretty talent-rich area. How does Davante rank among the post players you've seen there in recent years? "As a big kid, in the past 5-6 years we've had DeShawn Painter, Vernon Macklin. There's been no big guy in this region a long time that can play inside like he can. Painter and Macklin, they're more that really 4 that can run and jump. Davante's the truest post I've seen here in a long time, and I grew up in this area and have been involved in basketball here since the early 90s. There hasn't been a truly dominant post player like him here in a long time."
Has Davante qualified academically? "He's very close. He took the SAT again this past Saturday. Hopefully he gets the score and solves the equation there. He's doing some stuff, keeping his classes where they're at in school. If he does that, I think he'll be fine."

'Riddick's' Vin Diesel talks integrity and going 'R' in a PG-13 world
DIESEL: That's cool. You see this guy? That's why I make these movies, and that's why we do those things, because somebody's paying attention. That's my motto about Hollywood and films, continuing these franchises. There's two lines of thought in Hollywood, one is the audience doesn't give a fuck – excuse me, it's late, I'm in Riddick mode, you're lucky I'm not killing you guys - sometimes Hollywood makes these movies, you can apply it to sequels, and the hotshot producer though is, "the audience doesn't care," and thus the people making those movies in a reactionary way don't mind running the risk of patronizing its audience.
Then there's that worldbuilder, that D&D player that's really meticulous that believes the audience does care and can draw the similarity between Riddick's headdress and the headdress worn by Linus Roach who reveals in one moment that he is a Furyan that went the wrong path. It's very subtle, but just the fact that you mention it means that it was worth the weeklong dialogue about the construction of one little piece of a whole Necronic Lord Marshall armor. It's a testament to… I wish the wardrobe department and other producers were here to hear that question to verify, you know.
Can you talk about how crazy the stunts and fight sequences are in this movie and how you amped them up from the last one?
DIESEL: They are crazy. I don't know if I'm exactly thinking…I guess I should always be thinking how to make it better; I'm looking for a truth in the choreography and I'm looking for integrity in the action. I don't know if, necessarily, I'm so concerned about going bigger or better or one-upping so much. Another good point about Hollywood today is that there's that approach that people think that you have to go bigger and better. I'm going through that right now with Universal about something else, but the thought that you have to go bigger and better is the approach.
There are some people, like myself, who feel like an honest continuation of a story is the most important thing and the most rewarding thing. In a day and age where film has become this episodic medium in spite of itself…we grew up with "Goodfellas" and ten years later we get "The Sopranos." When "Goodfellas" came out, the great actors of that time were saying, "Isn't 'Goodfellas' amazing?" I'm at a lunch with Tom Hanks and he's telling me, "You've got to see this show 'Sopranos.' It's amazing!" It's really subtle, but it's speaking to today's film-going audience that is much more receptive to an episodic storytelling style.
I still like when Riddick kicks some ass though.
DIESEL: You sure do. [laughs] And so do I. If you asked anybody else, they'd tell you it's like nothing you've ever seen. I guess, for me, I try not to get too distracted by just the gratification of it being bigger and better, but trying to find the subtleties and the nuances that explain this evolving character.
David [Twohy] mentioned that there was a lot more pressure when you're doing the second "Chronicles of Riddick" because there are so many people that have opinions because there's so much money involved. Is there something nice and more enjoyable about making it at a stripped-down level like this, more like "Pitch Black" than a big, blown-up studio, $100 million thing?
DIESEL: Well, the head of the studio was here yesterday and looking at some dailies and just went, "Damn, Vin. This is the future of making movies." I still don't know what she was talking about, but I imagine she's on to something. There is a freedom…when you go in and you say, "We're going to make it like this. We're going scale. We're going rough, rugged and raw. It's rated R. We're going bare bones, in some ways." The freedom of that is that you don't have to make a movie by committee in the way that studios make movies.
It's not a good or a bad thing. Sometimes I actually miss that. Sometimes I embrace…I think David's more renegade like that and wants to be his own person; that's more of a director's thing and a director's fantasy. A lot of times, I would be the first to, say, feel the absence of a studio. I went and got a deal, a bungalow, over at Universal because I actually like that partnership, I like having people double-checking everything and putting up a fight for their own cause or their own reason. I appreciate that. But, you're 100% right. There is definitely something attractive and definitely something fun about making a movie without parents anywhere around.
Can we go back to something you were talking about before about integrity? Could you see yourself ever doing one of these movies without David? Or are the two of you joined at the hip as far as this franchise is concerned?
DIESELl: I put nine years on saying that I'd wait for David. Anything I say could be bullshit, but nothing speaks volumes like the fact that I waited nine years and bet on that horse.
Can you talk about your working relationship with David? What's your dynamic? Obviously, you being a producer, too and two strong personalities working together…
DIESEL: Sure, sure. When we were doing "Chronicles of Riddick," there were other directors being presented that the studio wanted to go with. The thing about "Chronicles of Riddick" is, you need to have a director who has a certain amount of ego about the property. If you ever fell prey to a studio's idea of interchanging a director for something like that, for that property, you could get a director to come in that could be cool at setups and be cool at giving you flash and be cool at delivering a polished movie that's in focus, but you would lose so much by not having somebody in that chair with a huge ego about the property and a huge investment in the property and claim about the property, that it was always me backing the David Twohy of it all.
What it provides for an experience like this is incredible shorthand because you know you took the nine year journey with somebody. That's an incredible place to be, because you come to work and every idea and every thought you have and every consideration you have, the person believes in their heart that you only want them to succeed and you only want them to do the best work they ever did, and that's about to be what happens.
When you see this movie, you're going to see a David Twohy that you have never seen before. You're going to see a movie that's going to blow people away. It's just going to be a guy graduating, and graduating and knocking it out of the park. That's exactly what I was telling the studio yesterday. I mean, award-winning. If he's not acknowledged on some kind of award level, I don't care if it's a Fangoria award, he is going to be acclaimed off this film.
