I thought they were miles ahead of Pechalat/Bourzat in terms of PCS. Can't speak to the technical levels, but I certainly thought they deserved the bronze based on performance quality, anyhow.
I thought they were miles ahead of Pechalat/Bourzat in terms of PCS. Can't speak to the technical levels, but I certainly thought they deserved the bronze based on performance quality, anyhow.
Just my thoughts from the stands:
B/S: This free dance is a mess and her dress is terrible. Who thought it was a good idea to have such a ragged dress for such a sophisticated piece of music? Their lifts looked really laboured and contorted and they seemed to have to work very hard to gain any speed. Her posture really needs improvement. They seem to have really regressed since I saw them at Skate Canada a few years ago. Hopefully with better material they can get back to where they were.
S/S: The Shibutani's are so enjoyable to watch. They had great energy and performed the program really well. They need to work on speed as they were noticeably slower than all the other teams, except the Russians. There is also a lack of refinement/sophistication? I can't really define it, but watching them compared to the four teams ahead of them they're missing something that has nothing to do with specific skating technique. I think maybe a lack of excitement and pushing the boundaries of their performance and technique and being a little too safe, not just in the music and choreography, but also in the execution of the program.
W/P: They have improved so much. This program gave me goosebumps. They were so invested in their performance it was truly a treat to watch live. They need to work on their acceleration onto the edge and work on their speed as they are noticeable slower than the top three teams live and don't quite have the depth of edge. Their lines, however, are gorgeous.
P/B: I was really impressed by the speed of this team. I've always thought they were kind of slow, but I was wrong. They have nice lines and are strong performers. I'd like to see them be a little sharper and more precise with their feet.
V/M: I was actually a little disappointed with their performance. I love V/M, but I found their performance a little flat in places. There were moments that were absolutely fabulous, and it defiantly picked up as the program progressed. I'd like to see Scott be a bit more angular and sharp through the middle jazz section, although Tessa does this part very well. Technically they are still superb, fantastic lines and unison, great depth of edge, although D/W are faster. My favourite part of the competition was watching Tessa and Scott do their cross cuts in a circle on the warm up, followed by a change of edge. Absolutely breathtaking. That was the attack they needed for the entire free dance.
D/W: This program is 4 minutes of pure joy. Meryl and Charlie have effortless flow across the ice with wonderfully clean feet. Meryl's dress is absolutely perfect for her as it helps to hide her slightly bend free leg without appearing to do so. That said they have defiantly improved their lines since the last time I saw them and this program with it's flow and less emphasis on line is perfect for them as they have a wonderful movement quality.
Thanks silver.blades for your report from the stands. I really appreciate your comments about the relative speed of the different teams. It is so hard, almost impossible, to judge this accurately on TV. Hearing of Pechalat/Bourzat's superior speed helps explain why they were placed above Weaver/Poje.
My complaint re B/S is more with the cuts of music than the concept or the dress. They are trying to portray the witches theme from the festival celebrations that take place in the spring in Europe for Walpurgis night. But the middle section of music drains the program of tension and drama. It also draws attention to their hideous posture. IMO, the dress actually fits the intended theme rather successfully. Sadly their skating quality, propensity for mistakes and some of the overwrought choreography serve as major minuses for them.
Fine points on all the other teams.
Both of Bobrova's costumes---SD and FD---make her appear as if she has no neck. Not flattering at all. The bent-over posture makes it that much worse.
I was watching the V/M exhibition video and noticed that Tessa has grown taller and filled out a bit, which is normal for a woman her age (22). She isn't that much shorter than Scott any more. Maybe that's why Scott seems to struggle slightly with the lifts. Their footwork looks light and easy, but their lifts don't have the freedom and effortless quality they used to have.

Thanks silver.blades for your report. Always nice to hear from a GS member who was actually at the competition.
I wonder why the ISU haven't updated the Dance world standings ? Pairs Ladies and Men have all been updated, odd.
I think Moir's venting is a culmination of the marks they've been receiving all season for their marks - PCS in particular. They have been lower than usual and yet I don't see any difference in their skill levels from other years. I also don't see much difference between what he said and the numerous comments made by fans on this and other boards over the past few years. Don't forget that both D&W fell at Skate America last year and still won handily, so it isn't a stretch to think that the two teams marks might have been closer in the SD rather than the competition ending 5 points. I think the coaches need to get talking to the judges to find out what V&M are doing wrong or not doing right, much the way was done when D&W weren't getting appropriate marks for the compulsories. And I'm willing to overlook Scott's inappropriate remark the way I did Meryl's after last year's GPF FD. These are fierce competitors who in the end have to work together. If they need to let off steam now and then - well that's normal.
I don't care for V/M's FD this year. For me it's missing something, it's well executed and performed, but it's missing a wow factor.
Was there anything else Meryl said after the FD last year than this quote from icenetwork that you felt required forgiveness?
and the quotes in the GS articleWe were feeling really confident about the program that we've built up over the season," Davis said. "It wasn't the strongest performance we know how to do, but I think it's definitely on its way to being something special.
"This has been a testament to moving forward, but we have to keep doing more, and keep getting better scores . . . We'd like to stand atop the podium at the World Championships this year. We've worked long and hard to get there and we feel like we deserve it, and like we've got the programs to accomplish it."
No, it was the dismissive remark made about V&M skating at all when asked a question by a Canadian tv interviewer about their unexpected withdrawal from the competition. It certainly didn't require an apology but it was a tactless comment made to a network that has given D&W unbelievable coverage over the years. It just struck a sour note.
Also, D/W's errors at Skate America last year or their stumble at COR this year, were versus substantially weaker fields. No one in either event came close to the overall quality of execution of elements of complexity of transitions they exhibit. Now had V/M or B/A been in those fields and skated to any sort of reasonable standard, we would have had another story entirely and a gap of similar size would likely have developed. Also, not the significantly lower score D/W accrued at Skate America in both the SD and FD than what they earned at the GPF, 4CC and Worlds or between COR this year and the GPF. Relative to their potential to scores, they were marked significantly lower and presumably punished appropriately.

|Sidney Stone Blumenthal
November 6, 1948
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
|Journalist, activist, political aide
|Jacqueline Beth Jordan
|2, incl. Max Blumenthal
Sidney Stone Blumenthal (/ˈbluːmənθɔːl/; born November 6, 1948) is an American journalist, activist, writer, and former political aide. He is a former aide to President Bill Clinton, long-time confidante to Hillary Clinton, and a journalist, especially on American politics and foreign policy. He was editor of several departments and wrote for several publications including The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and was Washington, D.C. bureau chief for Salon.com, for which he has written over 1800 pieces online. He is a regular contributor to openDemocracy.net, and was a regular columnist for The Guardian.[1] After 2001, he published several essays critical of the administration of President George W. Bush.[2][3][4][5]
Personal life
Blumenthal was born in Chicago, to Claire (née Stone) and Hyman V. Blumenthal.[6] He earned a BA in sociology from Brandeis University in 1969, and started his career in Boston as a journalist who wrote for The Boston Phoenix and The Real Paper, two alternative weeklies of the day.[citation needed]
He currently lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife. The couple has two sons, one of whom is author, journalist and pro-Palestinian activist Max Blumenthal.[7]
Blumenthal popularized the phrase "permanent campaign", in a book of the same name, in 1980. The term describes officials campaigning for re-election throughout the electoral cycle, leaving no time when they can focus exclusively on governing.[8]
The Clinton Administration years
|This section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (May 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Sidney Blumenthal served as assistant and senior adviser to Bill Clinton from August 1997 until January 2001. His roles included advising the President on communications and public policy as well as researching information in the general media about the White House. He became a major figure in the grand jury investigation that ended in the impeachment of President Clinton. While working for Clinton, Blumenthal was known for this loyalty to the Clintons, and for attacks on their adversaries, which is one reason Rahm Emanuel, original chief of staff for President Obama, barred Blumenthal from holding a position in Hillary Clinton's State Department.[9]
Writing for The Washington Post, reporter Michael Powell described Blumenthal's role thus: "When the White House is backpedaling – a familiar move as the president's libido made a hostage of his administration – Blumenthal is the first to urge aides to man the ramparts, a fire-breathing role taken by Patrick Buchanan in the Reagan administration." During the investigations by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, Blumenthal was called to the grand jury to testify on matters related to what Clinton had told both Blumenthal and his senior staff in regard to Monica Lewinsky. It was on this occasion that Blumenthal was accused by the independent counsel of seeking to discredit the office of the counsel by passing stories to the media about Starr and his aides. The leadership of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives felt enough evidence existed in regard to the Paula Jones case and Lewinsky for impeachment proceedings to begin in December 1998.
After the House Judiciary Committee and the United States House of Representatives impeached Clinton on December 19, the matter then passed to the United States Senate. Blumenthal was one of four witnesses called to testify before the Senate. No live witnesses were called; the four were interviewed on videotape. His testimony addressed the key "lie": that Clinton was allegedly pressuring Betty Currie and Blumenthal himself to attest that it was Lewinsky who initially pursued Clinton, not vice versa. Lewinsky stated she was the one who instigated the relationship. The Senate acquitted Clinton of perjury and impeachment proceedings ended.
Blumenthal v. Drudge
In 1997, Blumenthal instigated a $30 million libel lawsuit against Internet blogger Matt Drudge (and AOL, who had hired Drudge) stemming from a false claim Drudge had made of spousal abuse attributed to "top GOP sources". Drudge retracted the story later, saying he had been given bad information. In Blumenthal v. Drudge, 992 F. Supp. 44 (D.D.C. 1998), the court refused to dismiss Blumenthal's case for lack of personal jurisdiction. Drudge later publicly apologized to the Blumenthals. Blumenthal dropped his lawsuit and eventually reached a settlement involving a payment to Drudge over having missed a deposition. In his book, The Clinton Wars, Blumenthal claimed he was forced to settle because he could no longer financially afford the suit.[10][11]
Post-Clinton Administration years
Published works and memoirs
After the Clinton presidency, Blumenthal wrote The Clinton Wars, which was published in 2003. Janet Maslin wrote in a review of the book in the New York Times: "Beyond his intention to set the record straight on controversies that plagued the Clinton presidency, Mr. Blumenthal has a more personal agenda. Barely mentioning others close to the Clintons, and illustrating this memoir with smiling, convivial photographs of himself in their company ... Blumenthal sends a clear message to his administration colleagues: Mom liked me best."[12]
Reviewing the book in the New York Review of Books, Joseph Lelyveld, the former executive editor of the New York Times, wrote that Blumenthal came across as more like "courtier" than "the bright campaign reporter he once was ... When it comes to the Clintons, there is not a single line of comparable acuity or detachment in the whole of The Clinton Wars. What you get instead are passages that would have been regarded as above par but hardly fresh if they had appeared in a news magazine cover story ten years ago."[13]
Andrew Sullivan has characterized Blumenthal as "the most pro-Clinton writer on the planet."[14]
In addition to The Clinton Wars (2003), Blumenthal's books include The Permanent Campaign (1980), The Rise of the Counter-Establishment (1986), Pledging Allegiance: The Last Campaign of the Cold War (1990), and How Bush Rules: Chronicles of a Radical Regime (2006). Blumenthal was Washington, D.C. bureau chief for Salon.com, for which he has written over 1800 pieces online. He is a regular contributor to openDemocracy.net, and was a regular columnist for The Guardian.[1]
Blumenthal-Hitchens feud
British-American journalist and author Christopher Hitchens upon subpoena submitted an affidavit to the trial managers of the Republican Party during the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In the affidavit, Hitchens swore that then-friend Blumenthal had described Monica Lewinsky as a stalker. This allegation contradicted Blumenthal's own sworn deposition in the trial,[15] which resulted in a hostile exchange of words between the two. Following the publication of The Clinton Wars, Hitchens wrote several pieces in which he accused Blumenthal of manipulating facts.[15][16]
Film work
Blumenthal was a political consultant for the Emmy-award winning HBO series Tanner '88, written by Garry Trudeau and directed by Robert Altman; he appears as himself in one episode. More notably, he was the executive producer of the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side, directed by Alex Gibney, which won an Academy Award for Best Documentary of 2007. He was an associate producer of the 2002 film Max.[17]
Relationship to Secretary of State Clinton
Blumenthal joined the 2008 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign as a "senior advisor" in November 2007.[18] While on a trip to advise Clinton on her presidential campaign, Blumenthal was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Nashua, New Hampshire, on January 7, 2008. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DWI charge.[19]
After her January 2009 appointment as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton wanted to hire Blumenthal. However, Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, blocked his selection due to lingering anger among President Barack Obama's aides over Blumenthal's role in promoting negative stories about Obama during the Democratic primary.[9] According to a report in the New York Times, "Emanuel talked with Mrs. Clinton ... and explained that bringing Mr. Blumenthal on board was a no-go. The bad blood among his colleagues was too deep, and the last thing the administration needed, he concluded, was dissension and drama in the ranks. In short, Mr. Blumenthal was out."[9]
Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, earned about $10,000 a month as a full-time employee of the Clinton Foundation[citation needed]. During the 2011 uprising in Libya against Muammar Gaddafi, Blumenthal prepared, from public and other sources, about 25 memos which he sent as emails to Clinton in 2011 and 2012, which she shared through her aide, Jake Sullivan, with senior State Department personnel. In the form of intelligence briefings, the memos sometimes touted his business associates and, at times contained inaccurate information.[20][21]
The United States House Select Committee on Benghazi, headed by Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, subpoenaed Blumenthal in May 2015.[22][23] Blumenthal gave testimony in a closed-door session the following month.[24]
Blumenthal's name came up during the October 22, 2015 full committee public questioning of Hillary Clinton regarding the Benghazi incident, as one of the alleged sources of Hillary Clinton's intelligence. During this hearing Democratic members asked that Blumenthal's deposition transcript be made public so that comments regarding his involvement could be placed in context. The motion was defeated by a party-line vote.[25]

Musicians stage tribute to America's first professional composer
Even if you haven't heard of Stephen Foster, you've heard his music. "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Races" are among the first songs a child hears and learns. Unforgettable melodies, and their place in the public domain, ensure that they have endured, in schools, in toys, in movies and commercials, 160-plus years after Foster wrote them.
Foster is thought to have been the country's first professional composer, and his songs were immensely popular during his lifetime. But the music publishing market soured during the Civil War, and Foster died Jan. 13, 1864, at 37, struggling with a fever and a head injury in his final days, with just 38 cents in his pocket. »Read Full Article

On Tap Today: It's cold again and there's stuff to do
It's nearly the end of the first month of this brand new year. We're pretty sure that means you can't wish someone "Happy New Year" or fiddle with those resolutions after tomorrow. In any case, it's a good time to offer good wishes and look over those annual goals one last time (if you haven't blown them already).
One of our goals is to be a great source for what's going on. And so let's look at what's on the agenda today. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

VEGA - For the first time in five years, the Oldham County championship belongs to Vega.
The Longhorns' bruising defense bent a lot but did not break as Vega beat Boys Ranch 13-6 Friday before about 1,500 fans at Longhorn Stadium.
Repeatedly backed into its own end of the field, the Vega defense stuffed the Roughriders almost every possession. Eventually, the Longhorn offensive line took control of the game and scored an insurance touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
"We just toughed it out," Vega linebacker Bob Lamb said. "We read our keys right and we did what we we're supposed to. This is the first time we've won our homecoming game in 12 years."
Boys Ranch penetrated the Vega end of the field in eight of its 11 possessions but scored one touchdown. The Roughriders turned the ball over on downs six times, including once at the Vega 11, twice at the Vega 14 and two more times at the Vega 22. The Roughriders also lost two fumbles and had two passes picked off.
"I just told them there was a big cliff behind them and they'd better not step off that cliff," Vega coach Bobby Ventura said of his defense.
Boys Ranch gained 206 yards on the ground, but 134 of those yards came in the first half.
"They took it too us, and we didn't do anything to stop them," Boys Ranch coach Cokey Wilson said. "They played really tough up front. It didn't matter if they had a four-man line, a five-man, a six-man or what. They took it to us."
The Longhorn offense took control of the game in the fourth quarter. Vega blasted a 69-yard punt to the Boys Ranch 7 with 9:35 remaining in the game and with the Longhorns leading 7-6.
The Roughriders put together some strong runs and moved the ball to the Roughriders' 34, but the Longhorns popped the ball loose, and Rex Green jumped on the ball.
Given a short field by the defense, the Vega offense capitalized when quarterback Todd Hubbart scored on a 1-yard run with 1:34 remaining to give Vega a 13-6 lead.
Mark Ruiz led the Longhorn running attack with 97 yards on 20 carries. Hubbart added 44 yards on 16 carries plus both touchdowns.
For Boys Ranch, Ronnie Anderson gained 99 yards on 22 carries, and backfield mate Bo'don Wilson added 96 yards on 19 carries.
Both teams showed the ability to move the ball up and down the field in the first half, but each could only punch in for one touchdown as Vega took a 7-6 lead into the locker room.
Boys Ranch especially showed the offensive fireworks but had two turnovers plus turned the ball over on downs two more times.
The Roughriders took the opening kickoff and drove to the Vega 22 before getting stopped on fourth down. But on the next drive, Boys Ranch moved crisply downfield to a touchdown. Anderson, a sophomore running back, sparked the drive with a 20-yard punt return to the Vega 40. He then carried on three of the Roughriders' six plays, netting an additional 15 yards. But Wilson supplied the fireworks, opening the drive with a 9-yard blast through the middle and closing the drive with a 14-yard blast into the end zone. The extra-point kick sailed wide, and Boys Ranch took a 6-0 lead.
Anderson gave the Roughriders good field position on their next drive when he returned a punt 20 yards to the Vega 45. The Roughriders marched to the Vega 28 before turning the ball over on downs.
Vega finally got its offense in gear in the second quarter with a nine-play, 74-yard drive for a touchdown. The Longhorns got some help along the way with a 15-yard personal-foul penalty. The big play came on a 17-yard completion from Hubbart to Green on third-and-10. Green carried the ball to the Boys Ranch 6. Three plays later, Hubbart picked up a bobbled snap and burst 3 yards into the end zone. Justin Noggler's kick gave the Longhorns a 7-6 lead with 6:23 left in the half.
On the drive, Vega bobbled the snap three times, but Boys Ranch could not take advantage of the opportunity. The half ended with another Boys Ranch drive deep into Vega territory. But Tate Bennett picked off a pass off a faked field-goal attempt at the Longhorns' 3 with 17 seconds left to preserve the lead.
Bennett finished the night with two interceptions.
Boys Ranch showed a lot of fireworks in the first half as Anderson gained 67 yards and Wilson added another 63 yards.
Hubbart gained 31 yards and Mark Ruiz added 37 rushing yards to lead the Vega offense in the first half.

Democratic republic
A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials.
However, in recent practice, countries that have described themselves as democratic republics have not always held free or fair elections. Two examples of this were the German Democratic Republic and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, communist states commonly known as East Germany and North Vietnam.[1] Another is the Democratic Republic of the Congo which in 2011 was rated by Freedom House as a "not free" country, having a rating of 6.0 (1.0 being completely free and 7.0 being completely unfree).[2] Also, the 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea', commonly known as North Korea, is rated the least democratic in the world, run by a dictator. A republic (from Latin: res publica) is a sovereign state or country which is organised with a form of government in which power resides in elected individuals representing the citizen body and government leaders exercise power according to the rule of law.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of behavior? My daughter is 22 months and she's healthy and very active. Lately I've become worried though cause she seems to hit her head/face all the time. Just today she's done that several times, latest was her running straight in to a door frame or the corner of it. Now she has a bump and a good bruise in her forehead. She's really clumsy like that when it comes to playing. She's not allowed to run in the house but she's still learning. I feel like all I do is tell her no no no no .. And now I feel like I should call the doctor and ask if they should check her head. Am I just worrying too much or what??
My toddler hits her head constantly by running and playing around

Babies/Toddlers when they first learn to walk, and run, are very clumsy. They will hit their heads. Rest assured that their heads are pretty hard, so unless your LO actually really HURTS themselves (you would know if that happened), and it wasn't just a little smack or bump from hitting a door, then I wouldn't bring her to the Dr. Unless you feel the need to be reassured. It's up to you. I don't think this sounds un normal, and I think your LO is just a normal toddler.

Povetkin Eyes October Return, Klitschko Rematch
By Yuri Tarantin
Former WBA 'regular' heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (27-1, 19KOs) is looking to return to the ring in October. Povetkin will return from a very impressive seven round destruction of Manuel Charr from May 30th in Moscow. The goal for Povetkin is a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, who owns the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF world titles. Wladimir won a dominating twelve round decision over Povetkin last year.
"At the moment I should have at least three fights with my coach so we could understand each other and correct some tactical errors. Of course, my goal - is to get a fight with Wladimir. But most importantly - I'm not saying I want it right away. Klitschko has more than sixty fights, but I have only twenty. I need to gain experience, but that does not mean that I'm afraid. Again, I'll reach the position of mandatory challenger and then we will meet in the ring," Povetkin said.
"The plans for now is to fight in late October. Against who? We do not know yet, we will review the situation in the rankings."

Students in the U.S. rank near the bottom in math and science skills compared to the world's developed countries, but volunteers and Pantex Plant employees are working to make sure local students buck that trend.
B&W Pantex and Education Credit Union sponsored the Pantex Middle School Science Bowl, a contest last weekend involving students from middle schools across the Texas Panhandle.
The science bowl is one of more than a dozen programs Pantex sponsors or supports to help students build their science and math skills, said B&W Pantex community outreach coordinator Debra Halliday.
According to government statistics, U.S. students ranked 26th in math and 21st in science among 34 developed countries. But students in the region gain valuable skills and experience through Pantex's various programs, scholarships and competitions.
David Wylie, a science teacher from Dumas Junior High School, said his students — who won first place last year at the Pantex Middle School Science Bowl and took second this year — think the competition is a great benefit to the school.
"It's really intense," he said. "The kids made up a binder, and researched and studied a whole lot of areas of science."
Dumas won $500 from the competition this year, and Wylie said he hopes to use the money to help bolster the school's science programs, perhaps with some tablet computers.
Wylie said he appreciated all the Pantex volunteers who helped with this year's science bowl.
"It's really a super deal, and they do a great job with it," he said.
Wylie said his students also are looking forward to an upcoming car race in which students build cars equipped with lithium ion batteries.
Pantex hosts or sponsors programs such as Step up to Success, assistance with Boy Scouts' merit badge skills, a Women in Science program and the Smart Cookie program that helps Girl Scouts spur their interests in engineering, science and math, Halliday said.
Pantex also provides speakers who travel to schools to share their experiences and expertise with students.
"Sometimes it really takes some special person, sometimes it's a teacher that just gets the child excited about science," Halliday said.
Each year, Pantex provides about $60,000 in scholarships to organizations like the NAACP, the League of United Latin American Citizens and other groups, Halliday said.
Pantex, she said, employs workers with skills ranging from chemistry to the building trades who enjoy sharing their expertise with students.
Halliday said she particularly enjoys her job because it gives her the opportunity to see students gain valuable job skills and learn about teamwork in events like the science bowl.
"I just love science bowl because you get to see how smart these kids are today," she said. "These are the kids who are doing everything right."

Since 1953, in the gardens of the Villa Rufolo of Ravello where Wagner found his "magic garden of Klingsor", has been taking place the prestigious Ravello Musical Festival, that starts in early April and goes on from the beginning of July until August.
The current Ravello Festival derives from a series of previous initiatives which make it the oldest of the Italian festivals after the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. The association of Wagner's name with Villa Rufolo, a place made splendid and welcoming by the Scottish philanthropist Francis Neville Reid, was too tempting not to suggest the idea of holding concerts at this site, blessed, besides, by the great composer in person. Thus, in the 1930s the orchestra of the San Carlo Theatre in Naples played a couple of times, with a program connected to Wagner.
This year on stage directors of orchestra such as Yuri Temirkanov, the first Russian artist who had the honor to perform in Russia after the resumption of cultural relations with the Soviet Union, which ended the war in Afghanistan. The American James Conlon, popularizer of the music of the composers persecuted by the Nazi regime. The Russian Tugan Sokhiev, among the emerging of this new generation, which is tightening a relationship with the greatest orchestras in the world. A great return for Jeffrey Tate. The music takes the guise of universal language of peace, against the wars around the world.
At Ravello Festival there will be big names of the international concert team but also youth orchestras like the Italian one, directed by Juraj Valcuha, which opened the 2016 edition on the evening of July 1, and that of "Young singers" of Salzburg who will close the cycle of the Festival at the end of August. A symbolic choice, intergenerational connection, which is rooted in meaning even with an autumn project, first of its kind, which includes dozens of new talents of conservatives and music schools across Europe.
Music, a rich calendar of dance, jazz, two days with Tim Robbins, a tribute to Paisiello by Paolo Isotta, an extraordinary exhibition of Michelangelo Pistoletto, projects and special events that will last until autumn. And for the first time in the history of the festival, will be represented in an opera staged: "Fairy Queen" by Henry Purcell headed by Antonio Florio and Denis Krief.

Sheriffs Office responds to Arlington Heights burglaries
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS Snohomish County Sheriffs Office members met Dec. 5 with Arlington Heights citizens to discuss their concerns about recent burglaries in the area.
Deputy Mike Mauser, Sgt. Phil Nichols and Chief Tom Greene noted that the number of burglaries was down from this time last year, but emphasized that they nonetheless regarded it as an important issue, especially since the residents relative remoteness from their neighbors can make their homes more enticing targets for would-be thieves.
Mauser acknowledged the limited resources of the Sheriffs Office to respond to burglaries, since the North Precinct currently has approximately three to four detectives set aside to investigate property crimes, but Greene credited Snohomish County Councilman John Koster with helping to reserve room for two more property crimes detectives in their budget. Still, when those cases lack sufficient evidence and time to be investigated further, Greene admitted that cases with workable information would take priority.
Greene reassured attendees that law enforcements presence in the area had not diminished, asserting that we try to be proactive, but were often forced into a reactive role, so if youre seeing enough police cars responding to calls out here to notice our presence, thats not necessarily a good indicator. He went on to advise locals that their houses are more likely to be broken into during the day, because burglars are lazy cowards.
When questioned about alarm systems, Greene noted that the decision to buy one is up to each homeowner, but if they do purchase such a system, his preference would be for a silent alarm, since audible alarms tend to draw attention to your house and scare burglars away, but silent alarms help us catch them. Still, its your choice. Nichols similarly recommended that, if a homeowner does choose to purchase an alarm system, dont one cheap, because when we keep hearing false alarms from the same residence, its like the boy who cried wolf.
Greene clarified that, if you see somebody knocking on the front door of a house, and then going around to the back if nobody answers, thats a burglary, and may be reported as such to the police. Although he reminded attendees that theyre not allowed to trespass on private property, he wholeheartedly approved of their use of still and video cameras in public areas, since we cant always be there, so we need witnesses.
Greene responded to questions about methamphetamines, especially as they contribute to property crimes, by informing residents that meth labs are increasingly being pushed out of America and down into Mexico, but that meth usage remains a big problem all over the county. He explained that law enforcement requires concrete information to take action against meth houses, but elaborated that absentee landlords, who are often the owners of the apartments that meth dealers and addicts rent, are ill-inclined to give police any reason to seize their property.
Greene warned residents against attempting to detain trespassers and burglars physically, since homeowners are allowed to use deadly force to protect their own lives, as well as the lives of their families, friends and neighbors, but not to protect their property, since you have to play by the same rules as we do. He confessed that he shared the homeowners frustrations on that score, given that we love to put felons in jail, but even when suspects are successfully apprehended, the limits of the legal system can result in plea bargains, if only because, if every case went to court, the system would shut down.
When one local suggested that law enforcement set up a choke point for fleeing vehicles on Highway 530, since three out of the four access points for Arlington Heights converge on that road, Greene and Mauser pointed out that such a strategy has already been implemented, albeit one limited by the availability of patrol cars at any given time. Nichols followed by addressing the number of access points in residents homes, encouraging them to go as far as putting a lock on every door in your house, to slow down, and perhaps even discourage, would-be thieves.
Ask yourself, how would you break into your own home? Nichols told the attendees. If you can figure that out, so can a burglar.
Among the other additional layers of security brought up by Nichols at the meeting were bright external lights, phone trees of contact information for each local resident to have for all of his neighbors in the area, and computer programs to map out homeowners property within their houses to better identify them in case of theft or damage. He also proposed placing their drivers license numbers on their valuables, to track them if and when they were pawned for money by thieves.

Georgia Tech has developed a disturbing pattern. Once they walk off the floor for halftime, they figuratively do not come back for the second half. For the fourth time in their last six games, GA Tech has just gone through the motions in the second half losing all four (Sienna, Charlotte, BC, Clemson) while being outscored by almost 13 points on average in the second half. GA Tech (7-8, 0...

Once again, fans stormed the court as soon as the final horn sounded to signal an upset of Duke. This time, with FSU's 66-61 home win over Duke ending the Blue Devils' 25-game winning streak, it occurred when the Blue Devils were supposedly a sure thing to become the first team to go undefeated since, well, the stone ages. The collective basketball world, including fans and media alike, are n...

Last night, when unbeaten Syracuse traveled to fabled Madison Square Garden to face the resurgent Johnnies of St. John's, the game was being billed as the first significant meeting between the two teams in years. After a slow start to the night, Syracuse thoroughly dismantled St. John's en route to a 76-59 victory. St. John's, behind the energy of the "home" crowd (almost half o...

Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Nate Jacobson.
For the last couple weeks at Mizzou Arena it has been the Marcus Denmon show. Wednesday was no different as Denmon matched a career best with 27 points to lead the Tigers (14-2, 1-1 Big 12) to a 77-69 over the Nebraska Cornhuskers (13-3, 1-1). Denmon has had seven games where he has reached 20 points or more. The strength to his game has been his three-point shooting, and he put on another clin...

Cards are who we thought they were
Posted on 12 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
"Live by the 3 and die by the 3″. This has been the epitaph for the Louisville Cardinals in recent seasons. It's no doubt that the Cards style of play keeps them dangerous until the clock reads triple zeroes. However, Wednesday's 88-74 loss to Villanova in Philadelphia exposed Louisville as an all or nothing team that must stay hot from start to finish to win games. The Cards lo...

Brad Wanamaker scored 14 points, Gilbert Brown scored 12 and Nasir Robinson scored 8 points. Aside from Gibbs and Wanamaker, I thought Gary McGhee and Travon Woodall played fantastic games.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Washington—According to a report in the Seattle Times, a Lynnwood man has been charged with insurance fraud after falsely reporting the theft of 212 silk neckties worth an estimated $33,000. So what tipped off investigators? This was the third time 49-year-old Carlton Wopperer has reported the ties being stolen. The case began on Jan. 5, 2009, when Wopperer told the Mill Creek Police Department his vehicle had been broken into. He reported that four plastic containers filled with 212 of his pricey silk neckties had been stolen. According to Wopperer, he was taking the ties to a quilt shop to see about having them sewn into a quilt for display. Following the theft, Wopperer purchased $33,370 worth of replacement ties from Nordstrom, Butch Blum, Barneys New York and Mario's of Seattle. His insurance company covered the cost. Six months later, Wopperer told the Everett Police Department his vehicle had again been burglarized, this time while he was moving. The 212 replacement ties he'd purchased after the January theft? Gone. The insurance company paid out another $35,000 to restock the closet of their tieless client. Unfortunately, an adjuster with the insurance company checked up on the claim, only to find that most of the replacement ties Wopperer purchased in January had been returned to the stores almost immediately. Wopperer allegedly held onto the receipts and filed the second claim six months later. After the crime was reported to the Insurance Commissioner's Special Investigation Unit and referred to the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office, it was discovered that way back in 2000, Wopperer told the Lynnwood Police department that his collection of—you guessed it—"212 silk ties" had been stolen from his vehicle while parked at a mall. His insurer at the time paid out $16,900. Wopperer is scheduled to be arraigned next month in Snohomish County Superior Court on two counts of insurance fraud. But will he be wearing a tie to court?

Right Wing Leftovers - 2/3/14
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 2/3/2014 6:31 pm
- Nothing make the Right rally around someone they hate faster than seeing that person "attacked" by the media, which explains why Chris Christie has suddenly been invited to speak at CPAC after being snubbed in previous years.
- Glenn Beck seems to think that the late Ken Hutcherson was somehow responsible for the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl victory.
- Rick Green is not happy about a lesbian couple appearing on the show "Good Luck Charlie": "We should be loving people by telling them the truth and helping them find healthy relationships and lifestyles, not deceiving another generation with images that misrepresent a lifestyle. Disney now joins the political agenda that puts a pretty face on the sexual deviancy of our culture."
- Peter LaBarbera says gay activists are trying to "co-opt Christianity" by "fooling Christians into believing that gay rights is consistent with biblical Christianity."
- It is nice to see Pamela Geller branch out from her Muslim-bashing into transgender-bashing.
- Finally, Larry Klayman did not like the recent State of the Union Address: "Last Tuesday, fraudulently elected President Barack Hussein Obama treated the American people to yet another empty and frightening speech. Not even eligible to be standing on the podium addressing a joint session of Congress for the State of the Union Address – as Obama is not a natural born citizen, as required by the Constitution, sired in the United States by two citizen parents – the socialist, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-white, anti-Israeli, Muslim-sympathizer-in-chief spewed forth a masterful performance, all the while ignoring the cancer that has metastasized in his administration – a cancer that threatens the continued existence of our severely wounded nation."

Charleston County soon will decide whether to move forward with a controversial financing plan for improvements to the Beach Co.'s Kiawah River Plantation development on Johns Island, a proposal a local environmental leader has called a big subsidy for a developer.
The plan calls for creating what is known as a tax-increment financing district for the property, which sits near Mullet Hall on Johns Island. Under that plan, $84.5 million in improvements, such as a wastewater treatment facility, for the development would be paid for by future tax revenue generated by the development.
And $63 million of that would come from tax revenue for the Charleston School District. The school board met behind closed doors last night to discuss what it might include in a contract if it votes to approve the TIF.
John Barter, chairman of the school board's finance committee, said the board discussed the matter because Charleston County Council likely would vote Feb. 5 on whether to move forward with the plan.
County Council would act as sponsor of the TIF.
Council chairman Teddie Pryor said today the group won't discuss the matter Feb. 5, but will hold the discussion after county staffers present a full report on the proposal.
Councilman Joe Qualey said he thinks that discussion will be held in the next few weeks. And he's going to push council to hold off on a vote on the matter until about two weeks after the presentation. That will give council members and the public a chance to digest the plan before council votes on it, Qualey said.

A lot of people are going to say Wind Waker but I thought it was actually pretty challenging (especially the triforce treasure hunt.) Twilight Princess might have been the hardest for newcomers but people who have played OOT, MM, and WW have already seen all the puzzles Twilight Princess threw at you. Really I thought TP was way to easy because it was just more of the same stuff we've done before in previous Zelda titles! One really sad thing is you can kill enimies in 2 simple sword swipes, which was a first. There also really wasnt a lot of puzzles, and when there was, Minda just explaind how to beat them (same with bosses!)

Here is the real reason to look elsewhere: "Here in the U.S., acai berries come not as a whole fruit, but as frozen puree." Why bother with imported frozen puree when you can get many other kinds of delicious whole berries from local growers?
My daughter introduced me to it as one of her favourite things. I liked it actually, and it didn't cause me any problems/inflammation, which a lot of things do. So it was handy to get in a pinch.

Do not buy; cheap and nothing in Stock
"My order number was #2052316. Ordered on March 14th; est delivery date of March 24th. Had to call them on March 28th regarding my order. Stated it was released for shipment. Next day find out two items on back order with an April 7th delivery. Everything else shipped on the 29th when they realized it was still on the dock in shipping. Called me the next morning at 7am with robo call that my order would be canceled unless I called them. Called back and my one item was delayed until April 20th. They offer to switch out to a like item. Once I agree they tell me I have an upside charge of the delta between the costs. Jo was not helpful at all; she should have just ate the cost for a five week delay. Never order from them, they do not meet dates and do not let you know when they are delayed. Cheap!!!!!"
Do not Buy from this site
"These guys are horrible to deal with. They falsely advertise the size and uses for their merchandise. I ordered team soccer socks from my 6 yr old's soccer team only to find out the mislabeled these on the internet and send crew socks. They refused to credit my account the full amount. the charged a 20% restocking fee and they inflate their shipping costs and refuse to provide a refund. I was able to return the order to them for 60% of the shipping costs I received and it arrived at their site in 2 fewer days. don't buy from them. There are so many other great online retailers to chose from. "
This place is difficult to deal with
"My husband ordered 2 shirts and they were extremely large for size. I called customer service to exchange for smaller size. I explained that they were way larger than the size should be. They seemed to not care and said I would pay a restocking fee and return shipping. Do not buy from epic sports! "
Worst experience ever!
"I purchased gray baseball pants for my son's baseball team. It was the same brand, style, and color that I had purchased a year ago from a different online store. They came to me and had a lavender or pinkish tint to them. I asked my boys what color they were. One said purple another said peach. I thought they looked pinkish and my niece on a separate occasion told me they look lavender. Epic doesn't agree with me upon my return and are charging me a restocking fee and shipping fees. I'm out $30 for gray pants that ended up being lavender. I will never shop there again!"
"I ordered jerseys and shorts. I ordered the same brand and the same color. They came in two different colors. I explained their mistake and they told me to to return them. Even though it was THEIR MISTAKE, I had to pay for return shipping and a 20% restocking fee.
That is just not ethical.
Also, the letters on the jerseys looked like someone bought a kit from Walmart and ironed them on... Horrible quality."
SLOW shipping....EXPENSIVE returns/exchanges
"I ordered 12/10. Items arrived 1 day before Xmas. When I called a few days prior concerned about getting items in time for Xmas gifts, I was told my order stated not guaranteed until 12/27. I do not know ANY website that takes MORE than 2 WEEKS to ship. I needed to exchange the smallest item of my order, a pair of TINY volleyball shorts. When I called to exchange them, I was told FULL REFUND but shipping on new shorts would be OVER $10. The shorts were $22. Based on new shipping, I had to return them. Surprise!!.....The return authorization email I rec'd took fees off my return. When I called back because I was told I'd get the price of the shorts, the person answering took a msg & never called back. I called again & was told restocking fees apply. They refused to waive them OR charge me ACTUAL shipping costs. The shorts fit in a 6x9 manilla envelope with $2 postage for my return. NO WAY they cost $10.
Do NOT order clothes or ANY item you have ANY THOUGHT of ANY POSSIBLE exchange or return. After restocking fees & paying postage both ways....these shorts were cheaper at full price from Under Armour or any expensive sporting store near me. Original shipping on the order was $9.80 for 3 items totaling $72....including 2 volleyballs. It made no sense that they wouldn't charge actual shipping (rather than an up-charged shipping rate) on my new items. We really wanted the shorts. I went round-and-round with Michael at customer service asking for either a full refund....or actual shipping fees. There was no budging. I lost either way....if I returned or exchanged. I will NEVER order again & I'll advise my daughter's club volleyball team to do the same....all over a $22 pair of shorts."
"This company is the worst ever. They are brokers who promised and earn a living off of re-stocking fees and shipping. They make promises on shipping and then blame customer. While they are sorry it didn't ship the day they said it would. They didn't make it right for the customer.
Therefore my 10 year daughter does not have a costume for Halloween this year. Do not buy from them. Stay away."
"I recently paid $21 to have my product shipped 2nd day air. When I received it a day late, they refused to refund me the money and told me that it was only an estimate. If that's the case, why do they offer 2nd day air. I would have never paid an additional $21 if it was just a chance I would get it. When customers pay additional shipping prices, they EXPECT to get it on the date it says. Terrible! I wish I would have read all the negative reviews before I made a purchase. It's amazing they are still in business with this terrible customer service. I guess they don't believe in the "customer is always right".
"Ordered soccer socks in their soccer section. Baseball socks arrived. Called customer service. They would not pay for return as "this is what I ordered". These were clearly baseball socks on the manufacturer's label. They were very thin and not soccer appropriate. Customer service Rep stated that I should have known they were this type of sock by the % nylon in the description. They were not at all willing to even acknowledge that they were misleading on their website. I would never use them again."
They sell cheap crap that is not the same as the website (smaller sizes, much lower quality), wait for you to return, then make a profit on the restocking fee.
I bought a $90 product, returned it, and lost $66 on shipping back and the restocking fee. Customer service is a joke. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY."
"I purchased a basketball net for my son thru Epic Sports. When I received the box, it was torn, with parts sticking out. When we assembled the net, the quality was so poor the item could barely hold up, let alone be used for its purpose. When I mailed this item back for a refund, I had to pay $45.00 to send back. Once they received it, I received an email stating that they would "Not accept the return" as the item was "thrown back in box" with "parts sticking out"--funny because that is how I received it! The customer service was unbelievable-so rude & uncooperative. I have no idea how this place is even in buisness!"
"Ordered 5 jerseys, description said Jerseys will ship in 1-2 days add 3-5 business days for vinyl printing. When your order is ready they estimate delivery over 1 month away. Customer support says this is the worst case scenario. Guess what it is always worst case scenario. But of course if you want to pay extra you can get fast shipping for an extra $15 and another $20 for 2 day shipping. Of course this basically doubles the cost of the Jerseys.
Basically you have four choices. Pay more locally, where you can actually see the item and get it when promised. Pony up the extra money so you can get your items for the current season at the same cost you could have done it locally. Order the Jerseys for next years season (hopefully they will arrive in time). Or do what I did and order the items based on the info provided by EPIC and get the Jerseys when the season is over.
Of course customer support will come back and say you agreed to the Estimated delivery date (and throw in a few insults) even though it contradicts everything said on their website.
To Epic sports "Usually ships" means pay extra and we will do what it says. If you don't pay extra have fun waiting for your items"
"recently bought some outerwear from them, needed to return one item, they told me that there will be a 30% restocking fee plus I have to pay for the return mail.
will never buy from them again."
"EXTREMELY disappointed with their return policy and how the customer service handled it. I should have read the other shady reviews before purchasing from them. NEVER again, lesson learned.
Be forewarned!!!!"
"We ordered an extremely heavy piece of equipment, a rebounder net, for over $900. It was delivered in a truck (contracted shipper) with a lone driver with the box with stickers saying "do not attempt to move with one person." The box had a HUGE hole in it, which was likely to have damaged the net. The shipper did not take any responsibility for the hole , and tried to force us to take the shipment. We called Epic while the shipper was there, and Epic told us over the phone to accept shipment and open the box, because maybe it would be ok, but we knew if the box came off the truck it was now our problem, not theirs. It was clear to us that Epic wanted to make it our problem, and I believe they never would have let us return the net -- we would have had to find our own shipper and send it back to them.
We refused payment and they were very angry. They refused to give us our $900+ back on the item, and I tried to work with them over the next couple of weeks to no avail. They kept saying they were talking to the shipping company, which I really didn't care about, I just wanted my money back. So I had to turn it over to my credit card company to investigate. The credit card company was able to get my money back, thankfully. Just know that this company is very unethical and I recommend you do NOT order from this company, especially items that can get damaged in shipment."
