By ROBERT SAMUELS
Ugh, those cups. Several months ago, Diedre Neal, the sixth-grade assistant principal at Alice Deal Middle School in Washington, started noticing them all over the cafeteria. During lunch, the children — notably the girls — were clapping their hands, beating out a rhythm on upturned plastic cups, then flipping them over and slamming them onto the table. Over and over again.
Clap, clap, ba-da-boom, boom, boom, slam. Boom slam. Boom slam.
"When I'm gone, when I'm gone, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone . . ."
A new hand-clapping game — similar to schoolyard classics such as "Miss Mary Mack" and "Slide" and "Down by the Banks" — was spreading through the school. It was being transmitted from student to student, face-to-face, like in the old days. Inside of a week, the rhythm became ubiquitous.
The flulike spread of "Cups" allowed Neal to experience something that social scientists are just beginning to understand. The games are encoded with sociocultural significance, said Elizabeth Tucker, a folklorist and English professor at Binghamton University in New York. They have existed since at least the late 19th century and their functions include teaching dexterity and serving as tools for forming friendships. And somehow, new research is showing, these primitive clapping and chanting games have endured around the world, despite competition from hand-held technology.
Before Cups, Neal said she hardly ever saw hand games at Deal, a 1,200-student school that has clubs for everything from board games to Rubik's Cubes.
"What we see are Kindles,'' Neal said.
Until now. The game's swift ascendancy at Deal suggests an alternative theory: Technology might not be what kills hand-clapping games. Instead it could be what saves them.
Kyra Gaunt, a social science professor at Baruch College in New York, researches hand games. There are so many distractions these days, Gaunt said, that hand games are harder for children to master. And as playtime has become more structured — soccer leagues and play dates — students are discovering them in different ways, through Web searches or in music classes.
The history of Cups at Deal Middle School, researched with a bunch of 11-year-olds over apple slices and hot dogs in a single lunch period:
It starts with Adam:
"I learned it because I liked the beat. I was taught by this girl named Libya."
Libya could not be reached for comment, because she was out playing.
False start.
Edmee learned it from Suzanna. And Suzanna, she thinks, learned it from Sophie. And Sophie learned from Anne. And they all saw Jalen doing it.
Says Jalen Ciagne, 11, "I saw it in the movie, 'Pitch Perfect,' and I thought it was really cool.''
"Pitch Perfect," a 2012 comedy about a female college a cappella team competing for a national title, came out last fall and was released on DVD in December. It was not long after the DVD release that Neal starting seeing all those cups.
In the film, a character played by Anna Kendrick auditions for the team by singing and performing the Cups rhythm. Kendrick declined to be interviewed for this article, but she told David Letterman that she learned the rhythm by watching a video on the Internet.
Jalen, being industrious, found on YouTube the video that Kendrick mentioned. It was a home-shot recording by two young Londoners from a band called Lulu and the Lampshades.
Luisa "Lulu" Gerstein is 27. She couldn't strum a guitar when she started the Lampshades, but she could flip over a cup. She liked the chorus of an American folk song, "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone," and she added some lyrics to goad her friends into joining her on a 10-day bike trip to Berlin.
"I've got a ticket for the long way 'round / Two bottles of whiskey for the way / And I sure would like some sweet company / And I'm leaving tomorrow, what d'ya say?"
Gerstein posted the no-frills video in 2009 on a lark. It became the band's biggest hit. Three years later, the rhythm appeared in a Hollywood movie. Now children at Deal — and all over the Web — are singing and banging down cups to her song.
Only it's not really hers. She didn't make up the Cups rhythm, she learned it in a percussion class. At school. Fifteen years ago.
"I just figured it was one of those things that everyone knew," she said. "I had no idea. "
(Since then, the band has changed its name to the Landshapes, in part to disassociate itself from the tune.)
So, who invented Cups?
No one really knows.
And it doesn't matter. That's just how clapping games are.
Gaunt, the professor and author of "The Games Black Girls Play," said two truisms have emerged from her research. Like other products of our oral culture, hand games are almost impossible to trace to the source. And they are incredibly durable.
"They are the original social media,'' Gaunt said. Hand games were originally passed from friend to friend on playgrounds and "go viral," spreading from school to school and from state to state.
She points to "Miss Mary Mack," the clapping and chanting game whose titular character dresses in black-black-black with silver buttons-buttons-buttons all down her back-back-back. That game, she discovered, can be found in most every English-speaking country. It is also more than 120 years old. In Boston, the rhyme is a little more bluesy; in New York, the pace is a little faster.
But the clapping pattern is the same — arm crossed over the chest, palms slapping the thighs and then a patty-cake clap. Games like Miss Mary Mack stay intact, Gaunt says, because they involve something called "embodied language." Years after adults first played them, they remember the rhythm, which enables them to re-create the rest.
At a recent class at Cherokee Lane Elementary School in Adelphi, music teacher Emily Koons made an announcement after her fourth-graders diligently practiced F's and D's on their recorders.
"Let's play Hambone!" she told them.
"Yea!" they responded, giggling.
The children slap their hands on their thighs so fast that they begin to blur. They make fish mouths and slap their cheeks, making a hollow sound. They clasp their hands as if they are about to pray, then move them back and forth and rub them together.
No one knew how to play the game — whose Southern roots extend to the days of slavery — until Koons taught them. She thought the game would help the class understand jazz improvisation, while preserving a fading part of American culture.
Afterward, they all started practicing in the school yard.
"It's not that kids don't want to play" hand games, Koons said. "They just need to be taught."
A few weeks ago, a student came up to Koons and asked whether she knew any games with cups.
The craze is still going strong at Deal. Students recently learned a variation using the Robyn song "Call Your Girlfriend."
For Neal, this means more noise in the cafeteria as hundreds of students flip Solo cups and sing.
"Stop! Stop!" Neal commanded a group of friends one recent day. "Do you realize you're off rhythm? You realize that?"
The girls fell silent.
Neal smiled. "Try it again."

WEST SPRINGFIELD - Westfield State University students and others have scheduled a protest for Wednesday to call attention to alleged anti-Islamic bullying at West Springfield High School.
Westfield State associate professor Kamal Ali said picketing will be held outside the Piper Road school from 11 a.m. to noon in support of three Muslim sisters who claim they have suffered verbal and physical abuse from other students.
"A simple, dignified information sharing … and we're done," Ali said, referring to the protest.
The case came to public attention three weeks ago when Najma, Hibo and Filsan Hussein told Westfield State students that they have been routinely taunted and harassed for their religious beliefs. The sisters were speaking at an event organized by
Ali, who is also vice president of the Islamic Society of Western Massachusetts.
Two of the sisters are seniors at West Springfield High School, and the third, Filsan, transferred to a private school last year following a fight in the school cafeteria.
West Springfield school superintendent Russell Johnston said he cannot comment on specific cases, but said the school system has strict anti-bullying policies and multiple programs designed to prevent, investigate and resolve bullying complaints.
Court records show two of the sisters are facing charges from a fight in the school cafeteria in March, 2013. A police report stated that Najma, Hibo and Filsan Hussein attacked another female student who was laughing at them during lunch period on March 7, 2013.
The victim "stated that she felt Najma punch her in the face and scratch her around her left eye," school resource officer Mark P. Hammond wrote, adding the sisters "have been involved in similar incidents in the cafeteria on multiple occasions."
Najma Hussein, now 19, was charged in District Court with assault and battery and disturbing a school assembly, while Hibo Hussein, now 20, was charged with disturbing the school assembly. Charges against Filsan Hussein, 18, were dropped because she was a minor at the time.
A trial is scheduled for May 14.
Lawyers for Najma and Hibo Hussein have argued in court motions that Hammond never saw the fight, and based his description of it on one-sided witness accounts.
They said an enhanced videotape from the school cafeteria will show the other student attacked Najma first, and was one of a group of students who have targeted the girls.

MLive commenters took advantage of The Muskegon Chronicle's posts on Muskegon County's preliminary look into possibly allowing fracking at its wastewater site to debate the controversial method for extracting gas and oil.
The Chronicle post based on a county meeting featuring a fracking presentation drew plenty of interest.
Many criticized fracking anywhere in Michigan, while others defended the method as a way to produce a domestic source of oil and gas.
Commenter NotaDNotanR considers this just a chance for someone to get rich:
Fracking is 'about as smart as getting all of your drinking water from your still in use toilet.'
And there are PLENTY of people lining up to try and get rich from it at YOUR expense. They seem to think that when they no longer have water to drink, food to eat or air to breathe, that 'their money will still keep them alive.'
Commenter 0000000 points to the Enbridge spill as a cautionary event:
Did we learn nothing after the 2010 oil spill two years ago that dumped what we now know was a million plus gallens of contaminated oil into Talmadge Creek that runs to the Kalamazoo River? That spill was brought on by the neglect of Entbridge Partners who operated that pipeline and knew that 30 inch pipeline was cracked and corroded in 2005 but did nothing until disaster struck. That oil was contaminated with high levels of Benzine and other toxic chemicals that Entbridge and Canadian Keystone K1 pipeline owners will not tell anyone what those chemicals are. Where was the enforcement of what regulations we had before that spill happened? Given there was none between 2005 and 2010 we can hardly expect any better now. The people of Arkansas have learned to their horror what fracking can do. Now here in Michigan people in affected areas are not allowed to voice concerns about fracking with its unknown dangers to water and land? I don't think so.
Commenter TouchdownThere calls on people to watch PBS meeting on fracking:
Fracking is HORRIBLE, take time to watch a movie that was recently shown on PBS called Gasland. You'll see the effects fracking has a on small communities.
Commenter Sgt.Rock wants to see the fracking proposal move forward:
Occupy Muskegon was in attendance....oh boy..all the extremists came out of the wood work for that meeting. Hopefully sound logic will win out and necessary approves granted so we can move this along. We need all potential sources to bring down our energy costs. Road blocks only increase the cost for everyone, and in fact impact the poor the most.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Jordan Lynch threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns and Northern Illinois scored on a kickoff return and an interception return to rout Purdue 55 - 24. It's the first time a Mid - American Conference team has beaten two Big Ten foes during the same regular season, they beat Iowa earlier in the year, and the Huskies, 4 - 0, made it look easy, tying the MAC record for victory margin over a Big Ten school. Toledo beat Minnesota by 31 in 2001. Northern Illinois scored on its first four series, forced five turnovers, and led 27 - 10 at the half as Lynch became the 26 th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to top 4,000 yards passing and 2,000 rushing in his career. He was 18 of 25 and had nine carries for 35 yards and a score.
Purdue, 1 - 4, 0 - 1, was so bad, coach Darrell Hazell yanked starting quarterback Rob Henry and inserted true freshman Danny Etling late in the first half.

The 23-year-old was not wearing a helmet, Meadows does not require the use of helmets, and it is not precisely known whether a helmet would have saved him.
Cryblskey's dad, Joe Cryblskey, quite understandably calls for a mandate that ski areas require helmet use. It just might have kept his son alive, he reasons, and who could disagree?
But consider another fact. If Meadows were to adopt such a policy, it would the first of more than 400 ski areas nationwide to do so. Only Vail, comprising five ski areas in Colorado, weighs in with something close -- and only for its employees. If you work or teach in any capacity at Vail, you must, for the first time this year, wear a helmet while on the mountain. It is believed this will set an example for all downhillers at Vail.
Maybe. For the year ending 2009, nearly half of all skiers and boarders in the U.S. wore helmets -- well higher than 25percent in the 2002-2003 ski season. Consider the breakdown: 77percent of children 9 and younger wore helmets in the year ending 2009, along with 63 percent of adults 65 and older, with the 18-to-24 crowd at 32percent. Somehow the safety message is getting out, if not by law.
Still, the legislatures of California, New Jersey and New York face bills mandating the use of helmets at ski areas in their states. And the Boy Scouts of America, following the example of many ski schools, now requires any Scout on a sponsored ski or boarding trip to wear a helmet.
These efforts are well-intended but not without flaws.
Part of the challenge lies in the notion of personal choice. Florida, sympathetic to its motorcycling contingent, only recently repealed its own law requiring that helmets be worn while riding -- a dumb thing, likely.
Establishing a snow-sport helmet's value, however, is far trickier. Most studies look only at the helmet's capacity to protect the head in a dead-on, blunt collision, and the helmet loses what protection it offers at speeds exceeding 12 or 14 mph. Most recreational skiers and boarders often exceed 20 mph in their runs.
The studies, moreover, say nothing of the heart of the safety issue on any crowded mountain: collisions with others. Impact and damage here may be as much by glancing blow to the head as in dead-on force, particularly at higher speeds when a helmet may just absorb enough.
That's why it's encouraging news that Canadian researchers recently assessed 12 studies of more than 46,000 downhill injuries in North America, Europe and Asia, only to conclude that wearing a helmet reduces the risk of head injury by 35 percent.
That's a number we'll take to the bank. While it shows helmets protect, it leaves unsaid that helmets are just one part of mountain safety; speed management, awareness and other factors figure in as much.
We grieve with Joe Cryblskey for his son.
We also urge ski areas to continue to encourage all holders of lift passes to wear helmets -- and also to post conspicuous signs in lodges and on trails and lift stanchions as reminder. It should simply be uncool and inconsiderate not to wear a helmet anymore, even if it's legal to do so.

Marysville swim teams host district finals
MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell girls swimming teams hosted the 3A District 1 Swim and Dive Finals on Saturday, Nov. 3, and several M-P swimmers finished with state qualifying times.
Marysville hosted 11 teams at their pool, but their M-P crew finished with some of the top spots and a team score of 234, while MG finished with a team score of 153.
"It was really fun to host and swim in our own pond," said head coach Jaci Legore Hodgins. "This was the best year for us with prelims, we did so well and we knew we could swim even better than that during finals. For some of our swimmers it was their grand finale for the year, and it was a great grand finale. And for those who made it to state, they swam even faster than in prelims. It was everything you could want in a district championship."
M-P's Melody Coleman finished as district champion in the 200-yard individual medley with a final time of 2:13.3. She also won the 100-yard breast stroke with a final time of 1:08.73.
M-P's Hannah Taylor took the district championship in the 100-yard butterfly with a final time of 56.71, and she also won the 100-yard backstroke event with a time of 57.84.
Rachel Hartmeyer, of MG, was second in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle and also qualified for state.
"She broke two school records and set new ones," said Legore Hodgins.
Relay swimmers finished with fast times as the 200-yard medley relay team of Coleman, Madison Rossnagle, Taylor and Rebekah Pusateri with a time of 1:55.31. The same relay team took second place in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a final time of 1:44.36. Rossnagle is also swimming the 100-yard breaststroke at state.
MG's Courtney Moss took the top spot in the dive finals and finished with a final of 340, while M-P's Aryn Hoyt finished with a score of 287.15, both qualifying for state.
"[Moss] had an epic districts," said Legore Hodgins. "She was just phenomenal. She scored a 340, which is one of the best scores out of districts going into state."
Both teams are gearing up for the state meet, keeping their goals in mind.
"Hannah's goal is to be a state champ," said Legore Hodgins. "Melody and Courtney have a goal to place as high as they can. Melody should definitely be one of the top in the breaststroke and she has it in her to do well in the IM. Rachel's goal is to swim the fastest 500 and 200 freestyle and beat the times she had at state and place higher than she did last year. Courtney did not go to state last year because she was injured and she has a very good shot of being in the top 12. Aryn wasn't at state last year, so diving there is really big for her. And Madison is only a freshman, but we want her to swim in the top 16 so she can make it to the second day. That could gain us quite a few points."
Despite their high chances for state success, Legore Hodgins is proud of her team.
"I'm just excited to watch these girls swim and do their best. They are a fun team, and I have a great feeling about them."
Both Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell swimmers and divers are set to compete at the WIAA State Swimming and Diving Meet on Nov. 9 and if they place in the top 16 in their event, they advance to compete on Nov. 10 at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way.

Next Board?
I'm looking to replace a 2004 AHD GTS that is starting to show & feel its age. The board is 156 L, 86 cm wide & 260 cm long. I only plan to use this board at my local lake that is about 400 meters at the widest point. The lake is on my way home from work & only 10 minutes from my house so it is great for about 40 one to two hour after work sessions a year.
The wind at my local lake is generally less than 20 mph and the sails I will use with this board are a 7.3 (No Cam) Naish Sprint & an 8.2 (Twin Cam) Naish Indy with both sails getting equal use. My weight is 77 kg.
I'm looking for a board that planes early and jibes well. Pointing & speed are not that important because of the size of the lake. I have a Futura 133 but have noticed that it requires much more wind to get planing than the AHD. The Futura needs the 8.2 to get planing in the same wind that the AHD can plane off with the 7.3.
The Futura 141 is one choice but I would have to sell my 133 as the gap in the boards would be too close. The UltraSonic is another but may be too wide & suffer in the jibe category; same reason I don't use my formula on the small lake. Then there are the two largest Carve's to consider as well as the two largest Isonics.
Any advice would be helpful.
Hi Coachg
In your case you need a board with fast plaining and big acceleration in short distance and guaranty you that the 2013 UltraSonic 147 with your 8.2 will be way more efficient than your current Ahd.
Then you can upgrade sail size to get amassing performances for such small lake with a Turbo 9.2 for example.
For jibbing just need to find the right place to put your feat to engage your jibe with enough power and is nothing to compare to Formula who are really difficult and almost impossible to get out with speed.
On the US 147 you can get very fast exit in such light winds.
Hope this help and have a happy near year.
All the best
Thanks for the reply Rémi,
My main reservation with the US was the jibing ability. The 9.2 would be overkill for my lake as there is always enough wind for the 8.2. Would the US work with the 7.3 or will I have to stay with the 8.2 & fin down? I have the Futura but was hoping for a one board solution.
Hi Coachg
The 7.3 will work but you will get better performances with the 8.2 and even better with the 9.2, is a question of relationship between Widft of the board and size sail. So you will handle basically bigger sails on wider board for the same wind.
Anyway with 8.2 you will get already fast planning and acceleration with this fin and can tune to a smaller one to get better speed.
Hope this help and happy new year
All the best
Hi CoachG,
Is it correct that you have a Fu133, a AHD156 and a Formula ?
These boards are all pretty close to each other.
Unless you're into Formula racing, my advice is to sell them ALL and replace them by 1 Ultrasonic.
You' ll love it. Don't worry about jibing. The US does it like a charm.
I know a few lighter surfers like yourself who use sails as small as 7.x on it. No problem at all.
The board feels as light as a feather and can handle a huge range of sail sizes.
Hi BelSkorpio,
I do race FW and I am selling the AHD. I originally bought the Fu133 to replace the AHD but it never happened so I use the Fu 133 with mostly 6.0 & 6.6 sails. I was trying to go with a 2 board solution for sails from 4.5-8.2 with the Fu 93 & Fu 133. It worked but I lost a lot of planing power in the lighter winds.
You are probably correct in me needing to sell the Fu 133 and get the 111 or 121. In the end I'm just not going to cover such a large sail range adequately with only 2 boards.
Yes, well it's all about compromising isn't it.
Look at my 4 board slalom quiver.
I'm very happy with it because it fulfills perfectly all my needs without any compromise. I use on each board maximum 2 sails and each sail also overlapps 2 boards.
Nevertheless, from a practical and economical point of view I'm also thinking of reducing it to a 3 board solution, i.e. replacing the IS122 & IS101 by the IS107. Yet, I'm not convinced because I feel I will have to sacrifice something in certain wind ranges.
Personally I think that if you want to do slalom in conditions from ultra light wind to heavy wind (8-30 knots) in a rather comfortable and decent way, the bare minimum of boards is 3.
Your 2-board solution with the FU93 and FU133 should work quite well, but like you already point out yourself, you also feel you're missing out on something in the ultra light conditions, especially on smaller lakes where the wind is not always that stable.
No one can tell you what's right or wrong. It's something that you have to decide for yourself.
i started on a lake at the in-law chalet
it is about 350 meters wide at the widest part, butt is more of a long lake = Lac Long
longboards suit this lake well - with light and holey winds
the BIC Dufour was replaced with a Fanatic Ultra CAT
the best "short board" so far on the lake has been a BIC Techno Formula
it is 94 cm wide and as such compares to the UltraSonic
so, i leave the longboards there and bring the BTF when it is supposed to BLOW
in summary - longboard is the best solution for a lake for me - with a US type board good when winds are better
good luck
Hi Joe,
Not all lakes are the same here in California. Within less than an hour drive from my house are dozens of lakes from 200 meters wide to over 20 miles wide. Some are surrounded by hills & trees but some are in flat range land. The lakes near the gaps in the mountains that separate the hot Sacramento valley from the cold, windy San Francisco Bay tend to be very windy. On these lakes a 5.0 is your light wind sail. The further into the valley you travel the lighter and gustier the wind. These are the longboard lakes over here.
Sounds like you have got the winds
And bigger lakes
Now to get the right combo for you :-)
I like the FU 141 idea :-) or iSonic :-)
Let us know what you decide and how well it works out ...

President Barack Obama supports the idea of directing revenue from fines paid by BP to the Gulf Coast states affected by the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a top White House aide says.
"He absolutely supports the notion of returning it to the region," Carol Browner, Obama's top adviser on energy and global warming said Sunday on "Meet the Press."
Browner, however, wouldn't commit to supporting a specific proposal by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., to funnel 80 percent of the penalties to Gulf Coast states.
"We're going to have to work with (the House and Senate) to make sure that the Gulf Coast communities see the benefits of this money," Browner said.
Without legislative authority, Browner said all the penalties paid by BP for the Gulf oil spill would go the federal treasury.
Those penalties will range between $1,100 and $4,300 per barrel spilled and Landrieu's staff said that it could bring in $5 billion, meaning $4 billion for the Gulf states under Landrieu's plan,with and Louisiana getting at least half of that.
Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, has proposed that a new penalty of $200 million for every 1 million barrels spilled, be established retroactively. Thta would generate up to $1 billion from BP beyond the fines already in place, according to Melancon's spokeswoman Robin Winchell.
Melancon, who wants the money allocated to the Gulf Coast for coastal restoration projects, won approval of his amendment as part of spill legislation that passed the House on July 30.
At a ceremony honoring the New Orleans Saints on Monday, Obama expressed relief that the spill appears finally to be contained. He promised his administration would not forget about consequences of the spill -- believed to be the largest in the nation's history.
"I made a commitment to the people of the Gulf Coast that I would stand by them not just until the well was closed but until they recovered from the damage that's been done," Obama said. "And that's a commitment my administration is going to keep.

No, rapini isn't some new rapper's name—it's a vegetable with a slight resemblance to broccoli.
If you're like me than that may not get your tastebuds salivating, but when you pair it with some beans, it's a whole different story.
Those looking to try something new should keep this Rapini with Beans recipe from Hiller's in mind.
- 2 bunches rapini, ends cut off
- 1 can beans, drained
- 4 garlic gloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch white pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- Cut the rapini in half.
- Bring large pot of water to a rolling boil, add rapini and simmer for 4 minutes or until stems are tender. Drain.
- In large skillet, add olive oil, crushed garlic, red pepper flakes, white pepper and salt. Saute garlic mixture over medium heat until garlic is golden brown. Add canellini beans and saute for 3 minutes. Mix with rapini and serve.
Better yet, 15 oz. S&W canned beans are on sale for $1.00 at Hiller's all this week.

MOBILE, Alabama – The featured artist for the Festival of Flowers is B'Beth Weldon, a Mobile native who has a studio in Fairhope.
Her real name is Elizabeth Weldon, but when she was a baby, she was unable to pronounce her name and began referring to herself as B'Beth. Her parents, amused, saw no harm for the substitute name.
The name fits, she said: "It allows me to show my true child-like personality."
Weldon remembers watching her mother, Margaret McMillan Weldon, create paintings and portraits, and credits both parents with nurturing her creativity. "At the age of 4, my parents gave me blank sheets of paper to create my own works of art rather than giving me a coloring book; I think that is where my drive comes from," Weldon said. "I don't stay in the lines.
"I am so fortunate that my parents inspired me to do what I love, and most importantly, allowed me to be me," she said.
Weldon graduated from St. Paul's Episcopal School and studied at Mount Vernon College and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. "If there is one thing I would encourage young students to do, it would be to pursue their passion and to not settle on the norm," Weldon said.
While in college, Weldon began working at the Capital Children's Museum and later at the Smithsonian Institute. "Children have always been special to me — they are our future. I identify with their innocence," she said.
In 2010, Weldon created "Gifted Masterpieces," a program designed to give special needs and critically ill patients the opportunity to paint in her studio along with their family and medical staff.
She was also the official artist for the 2011 "Polo at the Point," and her work has been featured in numerous publications, including the Fairhope Courier and Sense Magazine.
Weldon's featured painting for the Festival of Flowers is one of her signature pieces, a contemporary floral with a European influence and flair. It now belongs to the Providence Hospital's permanent collection.
Weldon said she was honored to be selected as the festival's featured artist. "What a gift they have given me by allowing me to give back to the community in such a special manner," she said.

KALAMAZOO — At the Watercooler is a regular listing of announcements from Southwest Michigan businesses, individuals and organizations.
• Bell's Brewery Inc. is looking for artists for a special project as part of its events for Kalamazoo Beer Week 2014.
Beginning Tuesday, Bell's began accepting designs from fans for a Bell's or craft beer-related mosaic to be assembled with bottle caps during a KBW event in January. Designs must incorporate the colors gold, black, green, silver, orange, red, white and/or yellow.
"This is a project that celebrates our local art culture and gives back to our community," said Laura Bell, vice president of Bell's. The completed mosaic will be about 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide and will be auctioned off on Jan. 18. Proceeds are to benefit the YWCA of Kalamazoo. The deadline to enter is Friday. Judges will pick finalists, and their designs will be uploaded to a Facebook photo album to be voted on.
The entry with the most Likes by Jan. 3 will be assembled at a Craft Beer and Crafts Night on Jan. 13 at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo. More information is available at bellsbeer.com.
• Dec. 6 was Innovation Day at Western Michigan University's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. From 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., engineering students from Entrepreneurial Engineering (ENGR 3010) and a freshman Engineering Design course (ENGR 1010) presented their concepts and prototypes for new businesses in the main lobby of the college facility. A total of 55 WMU students presented 17 product ideas, actively trying to secure "investments" in their concepts from visitors to the event who had E-Dollars (Engineering Dollars) given to them as they arrived so they could listen to student pitches and "invest" in the concepts they found most innovative.
Representatives from area companies were among the visitors to the event, coordinated by Tycho Fredericks, professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering. Product categories included products for emerging/ developing economies; educational toys; products that can save lives during natural or manmade disasters; products for campers, trekkers and outdoorsmen; products useful to police, fire or emergency service organizations; and products with significant health benefits.
• Nasim Ansari, of Portage, was among three people recently reappointed by Gov. Rick Snyder to the Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission. The 21-member commission advances the full and equal participation of Asian Pacific Americans in Michigan. Ansari, who was re-elected in November to a four-year term on the Portage City Council, spent 18 years as a regulatory compliance officer with the department of public services for the city of Kalamazoo and is a former Kalamazoo County commissioner. He has a master's degree in chemistry and a degree in public administration from the University of Sind, in Pakistan. He also has a master's degree in business administration from Western Michigan University.
At the Watercooler — includes the widest variety of general interest business announcements, everything from trade industry awards to staff recertifications. Things that might be included: awards; notices of recognition from an industry trade association; election to a local, regional, state or national business organization; significant changes in business hours; the change of a business location.
Also included are announcements of new businesses in our readership area. With some zigs and zags, that runs from Allegan County in the north, to the Indiana border in the south, and from the Lake Michigan shoreline in the west to just the other side of the Calhoun County border in the east. We require the name of the enterprise, its location, a brief description of the business it conducts, the name(s) of the owner(s) and, where applicable, its hours of operation.
Please send information to firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.

This past winter I used these page protectors, as well as others, to create a baby book for my sister-in-law. Love them. She isn't much of a scrapbooker, so now all she has to do is slide in her own pictures and journal.
I used these sheet to protect my husbands Hockey Card collection. After having each player sign them we are able to preserve the cards and still able to look at the card and stats as desired.
It's a great scrapbook option for little bits and pieces of life. Ticket stubs, train tickets, little jottings - all fit nicely in the pockets.
I use these to organize my small acrylic stamps and it works beautifully! The material is nice and heavy so it doesn't tear easily.

Swarovski crystals and metal studs. Metallic prints that impart a sophisticated gleam. Large-scale designs executed in bold colors.
The latest fashion trends from the runways in Milan?
Today's wallcoverings are taking their cue from the world of fashion, transitioning from the bland, stuffy and ostentatious patterns of decades past into chic, fabric-inspired designs in a variety of textures and finishes, from metallics to nature-inspired prints, in bold shades of purple, green, fuschia and teal.
"It [wallpaper] has had some bad perceptions in the past," observed LeRue Brown, director of marketing for Pennsylvania-based York Wallcoverings, admitting "Some were reality." Sales have been down for a few years, he said, but there's been a resurgence of interest among younger, high-end designers. "The designs, patterns and colors that are out there today are pretty exciting," he said.
Here's a photo slideshow of wallpaper designs:
Brown reports metallic wallcoverings of gold, bronze, copper and silver are popular, noting the tones are increasingly being used throughout the home in fixtures, lighting and other decorative elements. The metallic designs offered by his company include floral patterns, textured prints and grand, lustrous designs.
"In place of flat color, [York has] a metallic ink that is reflective and gives it a whole different look," Brown noted. The company also uses sand and glass beads to create patterns that stand out and sparkle, adding dimension to walls. At the higher end of York's line of papers -- selling for up to $149 a yard -- are those embedded with metal studs and Swarovski crystals.
The current trend in eco-friendly design is also being mirrored by wallpaper companies. Graham & Brown's ECO collection uses paper from managed timber sources and water-based inks without VOCs or solvents. This line is influenced by nature, featuring floral patterns in both bold and subtle colors.
David Klaus, senior marketing manager for the company, which has its U.S. base in Cranbury, N.J., said several styles from yesterday have returned, mentioning large-scale florals and geometrics, as well as flocked papers, with their velvety feel. With regard to the latter, Graham & Brown's Flock Effect collection imitates the look, but is more durable and costs less at $60 per role. Prints include large-scale, damask designs, florals and stripes.
Klaus said Graham & Brown offers a lot of faux textures, and reports his company's best-selling wallpaper is Beadboard/Wainscoting, which offers the classic look of beadboard without the work of applying it. It comes in white and can be painted to match the home's decor. Other paintable papers in the Graham & Brown line imitate the look of bark and stucco.
Jo-Anne McDonald, an interior designer with Shamrock Paints in Castleton Corners, said wallpaper has been making a comeback in certain areas of the home, notably kitchens, powder rooms and hallways.
"People are saying that they're finding they have to paint too often, but if they find something good in paper, they're good for 10 or 15 years," Ms. McDonald said.
While neutral tones remain popular, she's also seeing interest in shades of aqua and chocolate and in papers that glitter. For the most part, she said, local homeowners are choosing calmer, tone-on-tone textures, as well as grass cloth.
"They want things that will last for a long time," she said. "We like to decorate for the long haul."
Manhattan designer Katie Ridder, who said she uses wallpaper whenever the opportunity arises, finds her clients are either enthusiastic about wallpaper or don't think it's universal enough.
"I think many people are unsure about wallpaper," she said. "I think people think it's the 'old-fashioned' way."
Ms. Ridder believes wallpaper can make a room look more interesting than merely painting it. For those wary of too much pattern, she advises pairing patterned papers with furniture that has more neutral tones. Or, use a patterned paper to create an accent wall.
Looking to step the design quotient up a notch? Mix large-scale prints with smaller-scale patterns, she said, mentioning by way of example the pairing of a bold-patterned wallpaper with a simple headboard and smaller-print carpet or bedding.
"I wouldn't mix large scale with large scale," she cautioned, but "I think it's really nice to have
large scale and small-scale patterns."
Ms. Ridder, who designs her own wallpaper, available through Holland & Sherry, suggests using wallpaper on the ceiling -- the fifth wall -- to add polish to a room or mask an unsightly ceiling's cracks and flaws. Employ smaller or larger designs depending on the look you're trying to achieve.
"I don't think people should be afraid of [wallpaper]," Ms. Ridder said "You need pattern somewhere, either on the curtain, furniture or the walls ... I think it's more unusual to use it on the walls."

Aircraft flying to and from Portland International Airport will have slightly different flight patterns that could impact North and residents in nearby neighborhoods, including North and Northeast Portland, through October.
A public meeting will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday to allow community members to discuss the Port of Portland's South Runway Rehabilitation Project. The meeting will be at Grace Lutheran Church, 7610 N.E. Fremont St.
The Port of Portland is the final stage of the three-year project, which will run from April to October. During that time the south runway will be closed and aircraft will instead use the north or crosswind runways. The runway has deteriorated over the years due to aircraft landings.
The Port of Portland will also have representatives available to answer questions at booths during upcoming Sunday Parkways events.
May 22: East Portland, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Lents Park, Southeast 92nd Avenue and Holgate Boulevard
June 26: North Portland, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., McCoy Park, North Trenton Street and Newman Avenue; and Peninsula Park, 700 N. Rosa Parks Way
Learn more about the project on the Port of Portland's website.

LINDEN -- Linden's mayor vetoed a council move to fund a part-time attorney, claiming the city spends too much on an overstaffed legal department.
The veto pits the mayor, who is running for reelection, against the council and the city attorney.
"I feel we have an excessive amount of lawyers in our legal department," Mayor Richard Gerbounka wrote in a letter to the city clerk rejecting an ordinance passed by the council on Feb. 16 approving funding for attorney John Hudak.
Hudak, one of three part-time assistant city attorneys, earns a salary of more than $71,000, with benefits that add up to another $30,000.
Council president Robert Bunk, who is running against Gerbounka this year, said yesterday that he disagrees that the department is overstaffed.
"There must be better ways to save money than take one-third of (city attorney Edward) Kologi's workforce away from him," Bunk said.
Bunk said that Hudak has worked for the city for 18 years.
Kologi said the veto won't immediately cut Hudak from the payroll because another city ordinance states he will remain in the job "until his successor or successors has been appointed."
Gerbounka's veto means the matter goes back to the council, where it could be pushed through if eight members vote to overrule the veto.
Kologi disagreed with the mayor that there are too many lawyers in the department.
"The majority of the council seems satisfied the law department is doing a lot of work and all the duties and responsibilities are being carried out," Kologi said.
He said that work includes consulting on hundreds of ordinances and resolutions each year, helping with contract negotiations, and lawsuits within city government.
The mayor said he will hire a lawyer using his own money to investigate the legality of the ordinance specifying that Hudak will work until his replacement is hired.

DURHAM, N.C., July 17, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Heart IT, the global leader that pioneered the first FDA approved zero footprint medical imaging workstation announced today that the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), a branch of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), has elected to acquire WebPAX® in order to receive and share medical images across multiple hospitals.
SIAT is engaged in comprehensive and multi-disciplinary medical research. They required an effective system to allow them to readily receive and manage medical images from a number of hospitals (across a large geographical area) participating in medical research activities. SIAT also needed a way to make those images available to multiple scientists in different locations without having to purchase several, costly licenses for specialized viewing stations.
WebPAX® provided the perfect solution and helped SIAT create a Medical Image Network. WebPAX® offers the capability to easily upload medical images via the web from any location in the globe. Once the images have been acquired and stored in the database, SIAT scientists can view them from any computer with a browser without any specialized client software. The unlimited license (standard with all WebPAX® systems) meant significant savings for SIAT since they could use their existing computer infrastructure without additional license purchases. WebPAX® delivered the necessary technology to provide SIAT with a Medical Image Network easily and affordably.

Entering the 2011-2012 season, Anthony Cefolo was an unknown commodity outside his East Hanover community. The Hanover Park wrestler had a nice pre-high school resume, winning the eighth-grade nationals, but no one was quite sure how that would translate on high school mats.Let there now be nothing lost in that translation. Sunday at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Cefolo used an under hook throw to defeat sophomore Carl Buttitta of Iselin Kennedy in overtime, 3-1, to capture the 106-pound state championship.
Cefolo is the first freshman to win the title for the school since current assistant coach and three-time champion James Lavalle captured the 100 crown in 1995. This winter, Cefolo (38-3) helped Hanover Park to the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 1 championship and a berth in the Group 1 state final whete it fell to Bound Brook.
"I can't believe it right now," said Cefolo, who lost twice but finished fifth in the season-opening Beast of the East Tournament in Delaware in December. "I didn't know what to expect this year. Once I get to states, I just wanted to wrestle my match and see where it got me. In the end it got me to the state title."
Following his second loss in the Beast of the East, Cefolo ran off 17 victories before losing 9-4 to senior Jan Rosenberg of Morris Knolls in the Morris County Tournament at the end of January. He then ran off 16 straight victories, avenging the loss to Rosenberg with a 6-3 in Saturday's state semifinals. Rosenberg placed third.
The freshman took control in the extra session. He faked a shot and when his opponent sprawled, Cefolo grabbed the under hook, then threw Buttitta to the ground for the score. While it may have come to a surprise to Cefolo, his coach expected big things from his new wrestler.
"Once I saw how he did at 'The Beast,' I was impressed," Hanover Park coach Dave Ryerson said. "He nearly beat the No. 1 kid in the country at the weight and has wrestled some tough matches. I knew he was going to win at the end. The sky is the limit for him."

SPRINGFIELD — While some city residents were enjoying a weekend highlighted by a bright Supermoon and the successful Springfield Jazz and Roots Festival, others found themselves involved in spats of violence that kept first responders and doctors at the Bay State Medical Center busy.
The city's 9th homicide of the year took place Saturday around 5 p.m. when police arrived at William DeBerry Elementary School on Union Street in the city's Old Hill neighborhood to investigate after a Shotspotter activation and 911 calls. The victim, 26-year-old city resident Lamar P. Kelly, was found with a single gunshot wound and was, according to police, in possession of a bag of white powder thought to be cocaine weighing approximately 53 grams.
Kelly was taken to Baystate Medical Center where he was pronounced dead and police are looking for a small gray Honda which was seen speeding off around the time of the shooting.
The shooting, according to police, is not believed to be a random attack.
Another shooting with a victim took place around 4 a.m. Sunday at a house party in an apartment near the intersection of Orange and Palm streets. Police report that an officer on patrol heard the gunshot coming from an apartment at 403 Orange St. in the lower Forest park neighborhood that left a man injured on the back porch of the residence.
Although police and a K-9 unit chased the suspect, described as a dark-haired male in his 20s, wearing white pants and a black shirt, he avoided being arrested. The victim was taken to Baystate Medical Center where he was expected to live following emergency surgery.
Several unrelated stabbings reported on Saturday and early Sunday morning also left victims in their wake.
Just after 1 a.m. in the area near Stearns Square in the city's downtown area, a clash between two groups of men left at least two victims needing medical attention.
Police reported that one victim was found in a parking lot on Worthington Street across from the Fat Cat Bar and Grill around 1:18 a.m. That man had stab wounds to the back and the back of his neck and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
A second victim was initially walking away until stopped by police and also sent to the hospital via ambulance. An update on the conditions of the men wasn't immediately available Sunday morning.
Police are reviewing surveillance video from the area and the investigation is ongoing as no arrests have been reported.
Another stabbing was reported just before 3 a.m. at a house on Farragut Street in East Springfield. Initial reports from the scene indicated a male victim was stabbed four times, but the extent of his injuries wasn't immediately known.
Police are still investigating each of the aforementioned incidents and anyone with information is asked to call the Springfield Police Detective Bureau at (413) 787-6355. Those who wish to remain anonymous may text a tip via a cell phone by addressing a text message to "CRIMES," or "274637," and then beginning the body of the message with the word "SOLVE."

Which side of Angela Shelf Medearis do you know?
The feathers-and-sequins-wearing cookbook author who has strutted her culinary prowess on "Dr. Oz" and the "Today" show, not to mention her own public television cooking program? Or the prolific children's book author (as in roughly 100 of them)?
Two distinct sides of the same self-proclaimed "Kitchen Diva." Two success stories she credits mostly to divine inspiration and a serious pinch of sass.
"I'm famous for my inability to cook," she says the 55-year-old Austin writer.
It helps that she clearly doesn't know how to take "no" for an answer.
When her first "pitiful, pitiful articles" were rejected by The New Yorker and other big magazines, she kept plugging until someone — a waterbed magazine! — said yes. When her first children's book, "Picking Peas for a Penny," got 32 rejections, she stormed the offices of a local Austin publisher and blocked the door until they let her read her story out loud. It went on to sell more than 185,000 copies, she says.
And when New York publishers rejected her first attempt at a cookbook, she decided what they really meant was... send them food. Â
"I could always make a good peach cobbler, even when I was first married," says Medearis, who married her husband, Michael, when she was 18. So she packed a cobbler with her manuscript and sent it off. "The African-American Kitchen" was published in 1994 and went on to spawn six more books, including her latest, "The Kitchen Diva's Diabetic Cookbook" (2012, Andrews McMeel).
Part of Medearis' appeal is the way she weaves into her lessons her own triumph over her inability to cook.
"I always tell people I could not cook," she says. "I never hear other chefs say, 'Oh, I couldn't cook.' You get this impression that they came out the womb with a whisk. That doesn't give people any hope."
But the idea of making a change, of triumph over fear, is not just part of her message, Medearis says. It's what led her from children's books to cooking in the first place.
"I had everything, but I was very dissatisfied," she says. After a particularly moving sermon at church one Sunday, she prayed for guidance. "I realized that this is the direction my life is supposed to take. Children's books, that's a pretty limited audience. If I was going to tell people that I realized my life had changed, I had to tell them through food."
Medearis is on to her next round of rejecting the rejecters, working to raise the funds to launch her next public television program, a series about healthy cooking on a budget. It's an uphill slog, but she hardly cares.
(Makes 6 servings)
1 pound imitation crabmeat, canned tuna packed in water, or canned salmon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 scallions, including green parts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
½ cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, egg, breadcrumbs, yogurt, mayonnaise, celery, bell pepper, scallions, mustard, lemon juice, poultry seasoning, cayenne and black pepper. Mix gently, then form into 6 patties. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to broil. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully flip and broil for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Place each burger in a toasted bun and top with lettuce and avocado slices.
— Angela Shelf Medearis, "The Kitchen Diva's Diabetic Cookbook" (2012, Andrews McMeel)

With one fight left on his Bellator contract, Luis Sapo's (54-8) request to be granted an early release went through with no problems. Sapo now looks towards joining the UFC.
"I had a five fight [contract]," said Sapo to TATAME. "One was missing and I asked not to extend more and they released me. I'm waiting for my manager who is finalizing negotiations with the UFC. We are working hard on it. "
Before entering Bellator, Sapo was on an eight fight win streak with one of those coming out of Bellator. He then fought to a draw outside of the promotion and returned in late 2011 where he lost two by stoppage. This year, Sapo has only fought once. All of this Sapo knows will play a factor when the UFC looks to sign him.
"This year was not very good for me," said Sapo. "I keep working because I know I'm fully capable of being in the UFC, fighting with the best in the class."
It is not unknown if the UFC has interest in signing Sapo.

Right now about 20 people are lined up ready to camp at my local Target.
Heh, good luck brotha. I just called the 24-7 Walmart near me that's doing the Midnight Launch, (Worth Ave, Woodbridge for anyone in the NOVA area) and asked them how many Wii's they have and how long their line was. The lady said, "Honey, we got 28 of um, and there's about 100 people already outside." So I crossed that store off my list.
So your off to the broadway futureshop? Man I hope its not busy because I may just go at around 4-5am on sunday instead of camping, since there probably won't be much need and its fricken cold.
good luck!!

Operation Every Band's SXSW Baby! Music Picks – 3 Weeks To Go
Kevin from Operation Every Band here. It's a busy weekend of listening, but as always, I wanted to toss out the cream of the crop of SXSW artists this week for the Baby! crowd. Today I've got the blues/beat-boxing combo Heymoonshaker, space-pop rockers Highasakite, urgent Scottish rock band Honeyblood and a pair of indie crooners in Josef Salvat and Hozier. Schedule is out – get listening!
Heymoonshaker – "Ten Letter Word"
Pairs Well With…Jack White, Rahzel, Dub FX
At first glance, Heymoonshaker is a dirty blues, guitar/percussion duo that gives off an immediately grabbing sound – punk-infused roots as an outpouring of emotions. The later realization (admission: it took a few tracks tracks…) that those weren't drums and percussive doo-daps. Heymoonshaker is grounded by beatboxer Dave Crowe, a remarkable musician with an impressive range and ten-out-of-ten live presence. Crowe's skills are jaw dropping (check "Crowe Solo" from their debut Shakerism). The melodic half of Heymoonshaker comes from Andy Balcon, an equally impassioned performer in his own right, digging deep into the soul of Delta blues. Of course, the band labels Paris as their hometown, another twist from a band that is a completely unexpected breath of inventive air.
Highasakite – "Since Last Wednesday"
Pairs Well With…Beach House, Of Monsters and Men, Arcade Fire
Highasakite's debut LP ended up being one of my favorites of 2013 (it was released a year earlier), so it's exciting to spin the first single from their upcoming sophomore effort Silent Treatment. "Since Last Wednesday" is an uplifting, orchestral number, full of sound, percussion and a hopeful disposition. The build throughout the track is remarkable, moving from gripping guitar line to an explosion of an anthem. This band is criminally underrated for the level of music they are creating, so hopefully Silent Treatment proves to be a well-deserved breakout for this exciting indie pop band.
Honeyblood – "Bud"
Pairs Well With…Heartless Bastards, She & Him, Best Coast
Scottish newcomers Honeyblood, an electric female rock duo, deliver a nice mix of breezy, alt country-esque soundscapes along with aggressive, loose alternative rock. "Kissing on You" even digs into punk licks, a great tone for the band's informally airy nature. An elastic passion guides Honeyblood's sound, somehow keeping laid-back and urgent at the same time. It's relatively lo fi, which should yield a raucous set especially given how Honeyblood is able to come up with so much sound with only four hands. Lastly, the vocals are immediately engaging, whimsical yet demanding. Honeyblood are relatively unknown in the States, so SXSW should be a storming introduction.
Josef Salvat – "Every Night"
Pairs Well With…James Blake, Gotye, Rhye
Quality over quantity: since coming out of the music woodwork about a year ago, Josef Salvat has produced just three tracks. While it's hard to determine the true breadth of an artist on twelve minutes of music, there is definitely something to be said for Salvat's delicate touch throughout "This Life", "Hustler" and his latest, "Every Night". At the heart of this music is soul, whether it's through a breezy melody pulled from a Motown record ("Every Night") or the starkness of an empty bedroom ("Hustler"). Combine that with synthesized waves of sonic majestry and a amazing vocal range from baritone to falsetto – you get to start to understand why Salvat should be an artist-to-watch in 2014. It's amazing to see these artists who've grown up on Dr. Dre and Oasis at the same time (or even younger than that) and can let opposing forces blend seamlessly into something boldly new.
Hozier – "Take Me To Church"
Pairs Well With…James Vincent McMorrow, James Blake, Jeff Buckley
Hozier's epic "Take Me To Church" has been buzzing for months now and it's easy to figure out why. Seconds into the track, Irish singer-songwriter Hozier pulls off a sick vocal run over dark, shaded piano chords. It's R&B from a singer-songwriter angle, roots from a sexy future. Hozier incorporates a lot of gospel into sound in unexpected ways, best shown in the stomping "Angel of Small Death & The Codeine Scene". In fact, the three studio tracks on Hozier's debut EP are coming from three very distinct places (add the soft folk ballad "Like Real People Do"), but the whole is grounded with Hozier's weapon of a voice. Mostly soft-spoken, but able to wow with emotional melodies (I get a little Elton John in my ears), Hozier is the real deal and deserves the expected trajectory leading right through SXSW this year.

As Adobe's executive vice president of worldwide field operations, Matt is responsible for the strategy and direction of Adobe's global sales organization and customer-facing functions. He is relentlessly focused on understanding Adobe's customers, and leads the field team through his example of integrity and commitment to openly exchanging ideas. Matt holds a bachelor's degree in marketing and management from Northern Illinois University. He's a native of Chicago, but has discovered he'd rather spend his winters (and summers, springs and falls) in Northern California.
If Matt were not at Adobe, he would be a world-class basketball coach.
