Spring For Music: Detroit Symphony Orchestra At Carnegie Hall WQXR radio
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra's performances at the 2013 Spring for Music festival represent a dramatic reversal of fortunes, and one that can only happen among modern-day American orchestras.
The DSO was scheduled to play one concert at this, the third annual festival of offbeat and interesting programming at Carnegie Hall. But it was pressed into service for a second concert when the Oregon Symphony suddenly announced in October that it was pulling out of the festival because of financial problems. Detroit, an orchestra with a recent history of financial troubles of its own, agreed to take Oregon's place, adopting half of its program along with its flamboyant soloist.
In an interview with WQXR's Elliott Forrest, Detroit music director Leonard Slatkin explained how he built a coherent program by keeping Kurt Weill's Seven Deadly Sins, featuring the Portland-based part-time Pink Martini singer Storm Large, and Ravel's La Valse. "Now it was a question of coming up with what we had comfortably in the repertoire that we thought demonstrated an aspect of Detroit," Slatkin said. Two lesser-known Rachmaninov pieces were slotted in: the symphonic poems Isle of the Dead and the Caprice bohémien, both recorded by the DSO last fall.
"For me the tie-in thematically has to do with composers whose hearts and souls seemed more comfortable with an aesthetic from the late 19th century and they had to cross that divide to be a20th-century composer as well," Slatkin said. NPR Music and WQXR will broadcast the first of the DSO performances live Thursday May 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Oregon's cancellation this year was a particular "bummer," as one Portland blogger put it, given that the orchestra was a hit at the 2011 Spring for Music festival. Meanwhile, Detroit's arrival comes two years after a grueling musicians' strike resulted in the cancellation of most of the 2011-12 season, the departure of some key musicians and public ill-will towards all parties involved.
The orchestra's near-collapse was staved off after it dramatically restructured its finances, enacted a new labor contract (musicians are paid an average of 22 percent less than before the strike) and retuned its philosophy: The DSO has since greatly expanded its community outreach and increased its web presence, including 22 free webcasts last season. Detroit News columnist Daniel Howes recently wrote that the shift "offers persuasive evidence that the titanic clash of lofty artistic tradition with hard financial reality can begin to chart a sustainable path forward."
For its second night of Spring for Music, the Detroit Symphony acknowledges its long history of highlighting American composers by performing all four of Charles Ives' lush and idiosyncratic symphonies. But it starts with a theme of transition – a particularly apt metaphor for the orchestra at the moment.
Slatkin noted how Weill was preparing to leave his native Germany for the U.S. in advance of war as he composed the Seven Deadly Sins (sung by Large in an English translation). Ravel was saying goodbye to the cherished waltz traditions of 19th century Vienna in La Valse. And Rachmaninoff was charting a new, colorful and 20th century version of high romanticism. "We don't think of Rachmaninov so much in the same way as Ravel in terms of orchestral skill," said Slatkin. "But Rachmaninov knew exactly what he was doing. All the sounds, all the colors are perfect for what he's trying to express."
- Rachmaninoff: Caprice Bohemian
- Rachmaninoff: The Isle of the Dead
- Kurt Weill: Seven Deadly Sins (Storm Large, vocalist)

News that the Pentagon would allow women in combat roles in our nation's military surely came as a surprise to some. Like the hundreds of thousands of women who've been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And the White House, too.
The White House?
Yes, the White House. The move, announced on Wednesday, came out of the Pentagon, not because of pressure from President Barack Obama.
The decision only makes official what's been happening on the ground for some time now. But that makes it no less significant.
The Pentagon's move had to buoy the spirits of women, and the men who support them, the world over. The official move to the front lines is another step toward equality for women who serve in the military.
For far too long, women in our nation's armed services have been second-class, no matter their actual rank. But the Pentagon's decision, which will start to be implemented almost immediately, will change that.
"When I was in the service ..." This shorthand, used by men for generations, gets to the heart of the matter in just a few words. Those who wear the uniform are performing a most-invaluable service, not only to the rest of the citizenry, but also in lands across the globe.
Women joined the fight long ago — to a degree. Back in World War II, there were the women's corps – the WACS and the WAVES, most famously. Today, women serve and fight along side their male counterparts. It's long past time to make their status official.
One's military orders and assignments ought to be based on ability, desire, past performance, potential – not on gender.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is leaving his post after just 18 months on the job, is leaving with quite the legacy
We salute him as he heads offstage.

CHERRY HILL TWP. — A disbarred attorney has been charged with misrepresenting himself as a practicing lawyer and stealing from a client with money he was supposed to use to pay her injured child's medical bills, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk said Thursday.
Stephen M. Hiltebrand, 61, of Cherry Hill, is charged with two counts of unauthorized practice of law and a count of theft by failure to make required disposition of property received. He turned himself in at the Cherry Hill Police Department and was released on a summons.
Hiltebrand — who was admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1978 voluntarily agreed to be disbarred by the Office of Attorney Ethics in June 2011 after being accused of mishandling multiple clients' funds. By voluntarily agreeing to disbarment Hiltebrand forfeited the right to practice law, or to present himself as a practicing attorney, in New Jersey, a spokesman for Faulk said.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office received information from a couple that Hiltebrand had continued to represent them in their personal injury suit after his disbarment. The office received a similar but unrelated allegation from a private company that had received correspondence from Hiltebrand in which he presented himself as an attorney representing the company's opponent in a civil case. In both cases, signed documents were obtained through the investigation that represented Hiltebrand as an attorney at law in New Jersey, spokesman Jason Laughlin said.
One of the incidents that led to Hiltebrand's disbarment also resulted in the theft charge. One of his former clients reported in March Hiltebrand withheld more than $4,000 in settlement funds from a personal injury suit stemming from injuries the client's child sustained in a car accident. She reported Hiltebrand acted as fiduciary for her and supplied her with false documents which he claimed proved he was paying her child's medical expenses, including checks he allegedly sent to medical creditors to pay for her child's treatment, Laughlin said. Hiltebrand had not paid the medical bills. Investigation revealed he had not adequately accounted for his client's funds, according to the spokesman.
Hiltebrand was reprimanded in 2002 by the state Supreme Court for "grossly" neglecting a "litigated matter leading to a default order." A $792,000 judgment was entered against his client, "which fact he also failed to disclose to them," according to Supreme Court records.
An investigation is ongoing into Hiltebrand, Laughlin said. Those who have questions about their interactions with him are asked to contact Camden County Prosecutor's Office Investigator Robin Morante at 856-225-8480.

The grounds of Voodoo Fest 2013 still felt a lot like New Orleans City Park on Friday, Nov. 1, morning. Under blue skies with egrets sailing aloft, early arrivals for the popular three-day gathering set up picnic blankets, waited happily for Pearl Jam, grooved to electronica, and accessed ATMs and toilets without a single line.
That's how it goes when your festival takes place in one of the nation's largest urban parks.
Even the walk to the front gate was impressive for some visitors.
"I've never seen trees like this," said visitor Jeffrey Kalman. "I had to shoot a panoramic picture to fit one of the big ones into the frame – and I loved seeing all the weeping willows, too."
Kalman, 39, brought his wife and 14-year-old daughter down from suburban New York for Halloween and a Voodoo weekend. This was his first trip to Voodoo, and he had one immediate impression: "It's warm and sunny here. It's not that way in New York."
The festival has moved to a new location within City Park – a permanent festival grounds that borders Wisner Boulevard. It has been getting mixed reviews on social media, but many who were asked on Friday were in a were in a relaxed "no comment" mood.
Rebekka Mackey, a longtime Voodoo fan from Miami, was more forthright about the new layout.
"It's still in the park. There is plenty of shade, but the set up is really rough for anyone with disabilities," Mackey said. "Everything feels more spread out and it's hard to get across the terrain. I have bad back problems, so this is very hard for me compared to the set up in 2012 where everything was arranged along a paved road with sidewalks."
The 50-acre Festival Grounds, which opened late in 2012, has hosted several events, including the Louisiana Seafood Festival and the Hogs for the Cause barbecue fundraiser. Voodoo, however, is the biggest so far, with the largest crowds and loudest bands.

A 22-year-old LSU student has been missing since early Tuesday morning, after attending a party at Bogie's Bar, 705 E. Boyd Drive near campus, police said.
Baton Rouge police said a missing person's case has been opened for Chris Broussard, who did not return home from the party and did not show up for work.
Broussard sent a message to his mother Lisa Broussard on Tuesday around 1 a.m. that suggested he was leaving a party near LSU and was headed home to Ascension Parish.
Lisa Broussard said Wednesday that friends and family members have been posting fliers on campus and in surrounding areas, and driving around to search areas where she thinks her son coould be.
Broussard is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He was driving a silver 2004 Nissan Frontier Kingcab with a New Orleans Saints license plate.
A group of Broussard's friends have launched a Facebook page, "FIND CHRIS," to communicate and share information.
Anyone with information about Broussard's whereabouts is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 225.344.STOP or the Baton Rouge Police Department at 225.389.8617.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A Grand Rapids-based group dedicated to finding a cure or better treatments for cystic fibrosis, has donated $110,000 for research to Michigan State University.
The latest grant brings the total to $400,000 donated by Hunt for a Cure to MSU.
The university's Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute is requesting applications from scientists to use the funds for basic research into the disease.
Peter Odland, a big-game hunter from Belding, founded Hunt for a Cure in 2001 in honor of his son Dylan, who has cystic fibrosis. The genetic disease affects one in 4,000 children born in the U.S., causing the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus that can lead to lung infections.
Odland said he is pleased with the progress made so far.
"Hunt for a Cure and MSU have already attained great goals and are on the path to making history as they push forward to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis," he said.
Related: Profile of hunter extraordinaire Peter Odland
The four research projects already under way are investigating the following areas:
• The use of blood pressure medication in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. The project now has more data suggesting that one commonly used blood pressure drug, losartan, reduces the activation of an enzyme that damages the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis.
• The genes involved in a pathogen identified as a source of serious lung infections. Researchers are looking for to look for new therapeutic options to prevent and treat infection, as well as to new prognostic indicators.
• Compounds for treating infections. The focus is on biofilms, communities of bacteria that are considered the primary barrier to successful treatment with antibiotics of infections in cystic fibrosis patients.
• Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes. Researchers say preliminary work has been promising.

In a 3 month period, I have talked with "support" 8 times. 7 times they have sent me off to links that don't work, forms to fill out, web pages temporarily down and 7 rejections from the "Team" because there's not enough of MY information left on the Hotmail account to prove it's me. Microsoft boasts about being #1 in customer security, but who's security are they protecting in this situation? Mine or the hacker that has MY account?
The hacker attached itself to my account, sent out spam and my account was locked. I started through the reset process and noticed that the reset link was being sent to the hacker as well. I called Microsoft asked that the hacker be removed from my account before sending me the reset link. Microsoft said they couldn't remove it until I got control of my account. So Microsoft sent the reset link to both of us and the hacker got there first. Microsoft failed in protecting my security by NOT removing the address I requested before sending out the link for my reset.
This is what gets me. I don't think a hacker would call "support" repeatedly for help, go through numerous steps to retrieve the account, wait for a reply, find it rejected because MY information isn't valid, told to reapply, and do it. I have had this account for 15 years or more. All my personal information is in there--personal folders, bank, credit cards, business, etc. So far Microsoft has refused to gain me access to my account or close the account down.
All my personal and security information has been changed because Microsoft sent the hacker my reset link. I can no longer prove the account belongs to me, but they'll protect the hacker's security and continue to let it control my account and all my personal information in it. Where's the customer security for me here? I've been told to just start another account and use that one. What? A hacker has control of MY original account, MY personal information... and that's Microsofts solution?
I need to speak with someone that can push the buttons to fix this, someone that can dig deep into my account history and find the information I've provided on the forms. It's in there somewhere. Is there anyone with Microsoft that can do this? All the "techs" I've talked with so far have been limited in their abilities. I've also been told that there is no real support for free Hotmail accounts. I want to know why.
Hackers breach our accounts, take them over, gain access to all our personal information, has the power to abuse it, and there's no real support from Microsoft? Microsoft has heard many similar situations to the one I'm in, and they can't give us control of our accounts, or close them down? This is a security breach issue and how Microsoft handles it. I need REAL help from Microsoft.
Vulnerability in the ActiveX Control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access Could Allow Remote Code Execution.
Microsoft is investigating active, targeted attacks leveraging a potential vulnerability in the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.
The ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access enables you to view an Access report snapshot without having the standard or run-time versions of Microsoft Office Access. The vulnerability only affects the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Office Access 2000, Microsoft Office Access 2002, and Microsoft Office Access 2003. The ActiveX control is shipped with all supported versions of Microsoft Office Access except for Microsoft Office Access 2007. The ActiveX control is also shipped with the standalone Snapshot Viewer.
Mitigating Factors
• In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
• An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
• By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone.
I just got this and it is so fake who couldn't see through it. But because of another review on here the other day I tried this time to report it to MS. What a joke. So I thought I would put it on here so everyone else could look out for it.

CHICHESTER -- Many years ago I noticed that the updates that were being downloaded and installed despite them being disabled were causing multiple problems, they were definitely genuine updates and from the official service (not fakes made by hackers etc...) The genuine updates that were downloaded completely blocked all access to my system! One moment it was working fine, fast efficient and a good clean system with no viruses spyware or anything! Then what should happen but 'Updates have been installed sucsefully these settings will take place once the system is restarted.'
After having all updates disabled because they were slowing down my system and causing new versions of programs with more features and all that (good but a shame they are slower than the previous versions) to be installed and making problems with programs that have worked for years! I noticed that all I was gaining out of the updates were updated drivers that didn't seem to make much difference to anything, so I completely disabled updates...
Thinking nothing of it at the time I just restarted my system and at the next log on what do I get? A LOAD OF ERROR MESSAGES! "Windows could not start because a problem is preventing windows from checking the License for the system." Oh thanks a lot! So I go to fix the problem by entering Safe Mode and finding the problem, surprise!?! It was a Windows Hot"Fix", key word being 'Fix' here, so I uninstall this program with the second option as 'add/remove programs' was not accessible at the time. I restart the system as usuall no luck, retry with 'last good known configuration' no luck.
I launch system restore and here we go, will it work? NO! GOD! This is getting ridiculous, eventually I used the System recovery DVD and got the system running again with my files 'Backed Up'. Well things worked like they said, despite a few lost settings, everything fine relaxed. Go to open one of the backed up files 'FILE FAILED TO OPEN, THIS FILE IS CORRUPT' :@:@:@:@:@ REALLY ANGRY NOW, TWO YEARS OF WORK DOWN THE DRAIN AND ALL THANKS TO WINDOWS UPDATE, THANKS A LOT.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- email@example.com support experience. My client was diligently using his email - the one which the email address had been in use for 4 years - when it said 'reconfiguring email'. Next, it started asking for a password. This is when my call came in- One of our sales reps emails stopped working! Trying all the passwords I had done not resolve the outlook connect issue and web login would not work either. The password reset said the account did not exist. Trying to set up a new account with the email address said the address already existed. He can't do his work! Emergency call to Microsoft. "No, we can't really help you, you have to go through a form-based service call." Fine.
Created the message, sent it. Finally, later in the day, received a email telling me the forum message was responded to. Logged on and read the following: Oh come on! Responded that we needed to get the email address released and we're even willing to lose past history. No response. Nothing. I guess this is the new face for Microsoft support. If you think that relying on a @live.com email address for any business use is safe, think again. Days later- still nothing. Month later. Still nothing.
FLORENCE, OREGON -- After 20+ years, my MSN account was accidentally cancelled. I got no renewal notice, no forewarning. I turned on my computer this morning to get my emails and got a notice that my MSN is no longer valid. I've been on the phone for well over 3 hours waiting for assistance. Once I thought a support person was connecting with me but the line hung up instead after over an hour of being on hold. This company has gotten way too big for their breaches. They are NOT user-friendly, not helpful, transfer me to 3-4 different people for the same kind of problem - with no success or help ever received.
Their rates go up and their customer service keeps going down. All of their support it seems are Indian and do NOT speak English well at all. They don't understand me and I can't understand them. We are supposed to pay more each renewal period for better service and it just keeps getting worse and worse. After being with MSN for 20 years, I am so totally fed up and disgusted with all facets of their big government. They are useless, they've gotten to be a monopoly who could cared less about their customers. Whoever is thinking about hooking up with MSN... Save yourself money, grief and much frustration and do NOT sign up with MSN.
I have been using Microsoft products for years. I have on several occasions thought about changing to Mac but have always been able to fix or get a solution for the error or problem. Today is a final straw, see I've had MSN messenger for years and about a week ago I was no longer able to log in as it said my WindowsLive ID did not exist. I posted on the technical site and a moderator said he couldn't find my ID. I wrote back and offered logs to show my account did exist and another moderator wrote back saying they checked my account like the previous moderator did and it did not exist and didn't matter if I had logs or not I'm just out of luck.
This just goes to show that NONE of the Corporations really care about us the individual and all their concerned about is selling the product and dropping you when support is needed. This is really bad when you go to the tech site and it list they have the problem you're stating saying only a small percentage will experience this. People beware Microsoft can't even keep a simple database or records on its users so they can use the services that have been purchased and yes I know messenger is a part of the program but I paid for Windows Vista.
I am completely disgusted with Microsoft and their Zune product. I purchased a Zune 120gb only to have it quit after 7 months. Microsoft sent me a replacement only to have the same problem right out of the box. I have spent hours with tech support and customer service, all to no avail. I do not want to be sent a replacement of a product with obvious design flaws over and over again. When will the cycle end? I was told a refund is "out of the question." I am now left with a $250.00 paperweight that makes me ill every time I think about it.
GEORGIA -- I am shocked at how many complaints I have seen & read here, but I know some of the reasons. This man that made most of his wealth off good hearted hard working Americans is not happy being one of the richest men in the world. His company will gouge every penny they can out of you and then send all the jobs, outsourced, to India the Philippines and anywhere else he can get cheap labor. If you need help with his product, you cannot understand or communicate with the people you have to talk with.
He gives millions to schools, art and other such entities, buying reputation that is all bull dung. If he cared, he would let the American people have the job's he outsources. I thought he was a good man, but after using his product and buying his software, I now know the TRUE BILL GATES. I do hope he can have a better life because of all the Americans he is screwing. I guess he needs another 100 room house, 20 more expensive cars, or whatever floats his boat. We would just like to have a job to try to live a poorer life than he.
The version that I own is designed for right handed folks. I have yet to experience any issues with the device. The receiver for this mouse plugs into any USB port. The receiver looks just like a USB drive. Beats the older style that sat on the desktop with a cord that was hooked to the computer. The wheel and every button on the mouse is configurable. I've left everything but the two thumb buttons with their default settings. If you're in the market for a wireless mouse, you might want to consider this model. Try it out first at the local electronics or office store. The key consideration for a mouse is how it feels in your hand.

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – The Muskegon Conservation District wants to know if you know what phragmites are.
Muskegon Conservation District and the White Lake Public Advisory Council are conducting a survey to measure how effective their public education programs about restoring habitat along White Lake were.
The survey is very similar to one conducted before the habitat restoration program started, Muskegon Conservation District Project Manager Dallas Goldberg said, to gauge if education programs about invasive species, shoreline softening and White Lake's environmental challenges were effective.
"If our end survey shows, for instance, that phragmites is an invasive species that people don't understand, then we need to do more education," he said.
The survey can be accessed through www.muskegoncd.org/whitelakepac. Paper copies of the survey are available at the White Lake Community Library, 3900 White Lake Dr., and the Montague branch of the Muskegon Area District Library, 8778 Ferry St. All surveys must be completed by Oct. 26.

SPRINGFIELD - Deputy Chief Kevin Dudley, looking back on his 37 years with the Springfield Police Department, said the job has grown more dangerous.
"Way back when, a gun call was a very big deal - and it still is - but they have become so darn routine," Dudley said. "I think the attitudes of many of the kids have changed. They just don't care and guns are prevalent."
Dudley capped his long career on March 1, with the traditional pizza party that the department gives to retiring officers
"I was blessed to have such a great career," said Dudley during an interview the following week, adding that he already misses his job and the people that he worked with over the year.
Dudley started his career with the Springfield Police Department in 1971 when he was hired as a cadet. He spend four years with the department before taking a law enforcement job with Conrail in Connecticut and later, with Amtrak.
The department, however, hired Dudley on as a patrolman on the dogwatch shift in 1979. After that, he progressed regularly through the ranks. In 1980 he became a plainclothes detective with the crime prevention bureau.
"I learned so much," Dudley said of his early experiences as a detective.
Other promotions followed. In 1986, Dudley was promoted to sergeant; in 1991, lieutenant; in 2003 captain; in 2009, deputy chief.
Over the years, Dudley headed up six separate units. He served as commander of the Internal Investigations Unit, Squad A Uniformed Division, Squad B Uniformed Division, the Crime Prevention Bureau, the Special Victims/Juvenile Bureau and in his role as deputy chief, head of the detectives.
Dudley, who was number two to Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said he enjoyed working with him over the years. "He reinforced fairness, " he said. "He was all about honesty and all about not giving people the runaround."
"We lost a lot of experience when Deputy Chief Kevin Dudley retired," Fitchet said. "He will be missed."
Dudley said he is looking forward to playing golf and spending more time with his grandsons. "I am just going to try and wind down a little bit," he said.

Wal-Mart Drops The Gays
Wal-Mart's love affair with the gays has come to an end. The mega-retailer joined forces with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce last year, but has again folded to conservative pressure and disavowed its gay ways. From Fortune:
"We are not currently planning corporate-level contributions to GLBT groups," said Mona Williams, the company's senior vice president of corporate communications. Individual stores can still donate to gay groups.
By way of explanation, Ms. Williams cited a policy adopted last fall saying that Wal-Mart would not make corporate contributions "to support or oppose highly controversial issues" unless they directly relate to the company's ability to serve its customers.
While one would expect an outcry from gay activists, it seems even they, like the AFA, can't quit Wal-Mart.
Selisse Berry from Out & Equal – a group that declares itself "the pre-eminent national organization devoted to the (LGBT) community in the workplace" – insisted the group will continue to support Wal-Mart:
Wal-Mart continues to engage on the issue of worker equality, and we will support them in that…This is a marathon, not a sprint, and so long as Wal-Mart keeps its doors open, we hope to give them encouragement.
Human Rights Campaign also says they'll keep working with Wal-Mart, "With a company as large as Wal-Mart, it's not going to happen as fast as many of us would like."
Gay rights non-profits may be willing to look the other way, but at least one Wal-Mart employee's not having it:
I thought the company was moving in the right direction. But last week changed everything. Pulling funding from GLBT organizations is a slap in the face to gay employees and it sends a very clear message. Diversity within Wal-Mart is only partially inclusive. They're catering to their conservative base.
A Wal-Mart employee who's more in step with gay rights than gay rights activists? Have we stepped into a parallel dimension?
It's unfortunate that Wal-Mart views support for basic human rights as a "highly controversial issue."
Typical. I used to think they should be allowed in NYC. No more.
That's the big thing Consensus: the message we, as glbt people and their allies, need to send is that basic human rights aren't "highly controversial issues" and that if people accept this as some sort of valid debate, as if it's okay to decide whether we're first class or sub class human, then that's a bigoted opinion.
In any event, I don't see that many gay men shopping in Walmart. Hopefully, I'm right about that. No one should shop at Walmart, at least until they offer decent health benefits to everyone in their company, regardless of the time they've worked there, and allow their workers to unionize.
Even when they embraced us (temporarily), I tried not to shop there if I could, at least on labor principles.
Irony of Ironies, at the very moment I'm reading this article, the rotating ad server has popped up a Wal-Mart ad.
Too, too too funny.
Ya'll really need to talk to someone about that. It's just as funny as the e-mail I got from Oxygen promoting Mo'Niques Fat Chance that prominently featured an ad for a quick weight loss program.

No Precedent, No Plan
In 1998, President Boris Yeltsin's government defaulted on Russia's debts and the country experienced a financial meltdown that brought its people to the brink of disaster. In No Precedent, No Plan, Martin Gilman offers an insider's view of Russia's financial crisis. As the senior representative of the International Monetary Fund in Moscow beginning in 1996, Gilman was in the eye of the storm. Now, he tells the dramatic story of Russia's economic evolution following the collapse of the Soviet Union and analyzes the 1998 crisis and its aftermath. Gilman argues that the default and collapse, although avoidable, actually spurred Russia to integrate its economy with the rest of the world's and served as a harbinger of the recent global economic crisis. Gilman details the IMF's involvement and defends it against criticism by economist Joseph Stiglitz and others. In the 1990s, the collapse of the Soviet Union left Russia in chaos, with a barely functioning government and no consensus on the path toward a democratic and economic transformation. The smooth transition to a market economy that had been accomplished in other countries in Eastern Europe was impossible. Gilman describes the ordeal of the 1998 crisis and argues that the IMF helped Russia avoid an even greater catastrophe. He recounts Russia's emergence from the IMF's tutelage and explains how the shell-shocked Russian public turned to Vladimir Putin in search of stability after the trauma of 1998. No Precedent, No Plan offers a definitive account--the first from an insider's perspective--of Russia's painful transition to a market economy.

He's back!!
As F1 heads off it's summer jolly, and Nelso Piquet begins a rather longer holiday NASCAR once again fell foul of weather and weepers, which was pretty much how the race ended with an emotional Denny Hamlin, endeavoring to cry to prove that NASCAR driver's aren't robots paid for my sponsors.
However, it was Indycar that took center stage. With more improvements than an Extreme Makeover house the racing on the Kentucky oval was, erm... Finger Licking Good or, well, at least interesting.

During the 2012 legislative session, lawmakers passed a bill that requires the state's school districts to put policies in place combating teen dating violence. The legislation passed with a pretty wide margin.
Statistics were thrown out left and right in support of the new policy. One in particular caught our attention.
While speaking in favor of House Bill 4077, Sen. Rod Monroe, D-Portland, said "teen dating violence is where it all starts, and where it ends is with the fact that the No. 2 cause of death in the U.S. (for) women under 50 is being killed by their spouse or domestic partner. No. 2 cause of death. Only exceeded by automobile accidents."
PolitiFact Oregon checked it out. Find out how we ruled in "Is intimate partner violence the second leading cause of death for women under 50?"

Just Out columnist (and ex-WW contributor) Stephen Marc Beaudoin recently wrote how we should avoid this Sunday's Pride parade because it's nothing more than a chance for corporations to jack off on themselves. He even suggests nonprofit Pride presenters, like our own Pride Northwest, ought to be audited by the Internal Revenue Service due to the fact that the organizations are rolling in surplus funds from a corral's worth of corporate cash cows. I beg to differ.
There are plenty of reasons to skip Pride parades—homophobes, Father's Day, don't have the right shoes—but just because coffee shop, bank and brewery employees want to show their pride doesn't mean we should deny them that. And that got me thinking: What other groups have stayed on the sidewalk far too long? And how could we coax them out of the closet to join the 115-entry parade? Here's a list of those who need to get their gay on:
Dykes on Trikes: Dykes on Bikes are always the leaders of the pack, but this theoretical tricked-out tricycling troupe could be for those moto-crossed lezzies who don't need a damn Fat Boy, Suzuki or Schwinn to show their pride. Besides, who doesn't love a shirtless chick with her knees shoved up around her boobies?
Gays Against Acronyms: Step away from the label-maker—join the GAA. These homosexuals don't care what you call them so long as their existence isn't reduced to a cringe-worthy slogan.
Heterophobes: Why should pride be all about hugs? Let's give the hetero-hatemongers among us a chance to let our freak flags fly and show God-abiding Christians how truly ridiculous they look.
Straight Florists/Dancers/Hairdressers: Just because you have a gay job doesn't mean you're wriggling around on all fours waiting for the next man to hump. FTD guys, you deserve a chance to show off your gold lamé short shorts without hearing snorts from your girlfriends. At Pride, we'll really watch your ass.
Gay Couples Who Don't EVER Want to Get Married: Not all queers want to hitch up and "destroy the sanctity of marriage," no matter what Fox News' Bill O'Reilly would have you believe. Some actually just want to live together, just like straight people. Talk about revolutionary!
Daddy Mama: This is a float for one. Rock out with your (insert appropriate appendage here) out, Thomas Beatie, the first "legal" man to get knocked up.
Drag Queens/Kings Without Imperial Titles: Is every dragster in town worthy of a sash from Portland's queer court? Isn't there one gender-bender in town who doesn't need a title to be just as kickass as the rest? And, if not, when can the rest of us get an "XV" after our name?
Closeted Congressmen: Now that we have a gay mayor, it's time the rest of the elected showed their true colors.
Premature Ejaculators: See above.
Portland Pride Parade, 11 am Sunday, June 15. Starts at Northwest Park Avenue and Davis Street, ends at Waterfront Park. Free. Visit pridenw.org for more info.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Spirit of America ferryboat was pulled from service this morning with a faulty rudder -- a day after a City Hall oversight hearing addressed breakdowns and mechanical and electrical problems on the Molinari-class boats.
The 7:45 a.m. Manhattan-bound boat was canceled when it was determined the rudder wasn't getting its full range of motion, according to a city Department of Transportation spokesman.
It will remain out of service for adjustments through tonight's rush hour, but it won't affect the normal, rush hour schedule. There wasn't an immediate timetable for its return.
Yesterday, the City Council held a hearing, "The New Molinari-Class Vessels, Ferries or Lemons?" in response to a host of electrical and propulsion problems among the Guy V. Molinari, the Sen. John J. Marchi and the Spirit of America.
Those problems culminated in a July 1 loss of power during docking that slammed the Marchi into its slip at St. George and sent 15 people to the hospital.
DOT Ferry Chief James DeSimone testified that while the new boats have had their share of "teething problems," the kinks have largely been worked out, reliability is much improved, and such malfunctions normal with any new custom-built vessel.
Over the past fiscal year, according to the DOT, the Molinari was available for passenger service 95 percent of the time, with the Marchi available 93 percent of the time, and Spirit of America 99 percent of the time.
The Spirit had the fewest issues because it was the last of the three boats to arrive. The Marchi is expected to return from a Virginia dry dock as early as next week.

Beverly Hills, MI- The Aquinas College men's lacrosse team opened the 2014 season with an 18-6 victory over Oakland University. The game, which had been scheduled to take place at Aquinas College, was contested at the indoor field at Detroit Country Day school. The Saints are now 1-0 on the season, while the Golden Grizzlies fall to 0-1.
The two teams traded goals early in the first quarter, but the Saints would score four straight to take a 6-2 lead after one. Aquinas added four more goals in the second quarter to take a 10-2 halftime lead. A strong defensive ride and efficient clearing game helped the Saints add eight more goals in the second half on the way to the 18-6 victory.
Junior attackman Zack Brancheau (Tecumseh/Tecumseh) tied a career-high with five goals to lead the Saints. Brancheau also added an assist. Sophomore Grant Holloway (Royal Oak/Royal Oak) scored four times and also had an assist. Ryan Ruschmann (Grand Rapids/Northview) and Ben Majeske (Holt/Holt) each had two goals for the Saints. Freshman Nate Cantin (Novi/Catholic Central) and Chris Wilder (Plymouth/Gabriel Richard) and junior Alex Rosema (Grand Haven/Grand Haven) all recorded their first points as Saints. Rosema had a goal and an assist, while Cantin and Wilder assisted on goals. Defensively, junior goalie Jimmy Watt (Walled Lake/Northern) stopped 11 shots.
The Saints will now head south for some warmer weather and tough competition against teams from the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Aquinas returns to the field on Sunday when they battle the Wofford Terriers at 2:00 pm in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season has begun and comes at a time when an oil spill off the Louisiana coast continues spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting an active season, with as many as 23 named tropical storms.
An estimated eight to 14 storms could strengthen into hurricanes. Of those storms, three to seven could become major hurricanes.
While scientists seem to agree that the sprawling oil slick in the Gulf isn't likely to affect the formation of a storm, the real worry is that a hurricane might turn the millions of gallons of floating crude into a crashing black surf.
The names to be used for storms this season are:
- Alex
- Bonnie
- Colin
- Danielle
- Earl
- Fiona
- Gaston
- Hermine
- Igor
- Julia
- Karl
- Lisa
- Matthew
- Nicole
- Otto
- Paula
- Richard
- Shary

MOBILE, Ala. -- Circuit Judge Joseph "Rusty" Johnston has barred former judicial colleague Herman Thomas from practicing in his courtroom.
Citing allegations that Thomas submitted jail inmates to sexual advances after checking them out under his authority, Johnston said Thomas was unfit to practice law.
Thomas resigned his judgeship in 2007 amid these and other allegations suggesting ethics violations.
Attorney Bob Clark said later today that he will file an emergency petition tomorrow before the Alabama Supreme Court, asking that that body order Johnston to rescind his order.
(Complete report in Thursday's Press-Register.)

Since we broke the news of comedian Al Madrigal's joining The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as its newest correspondent, we've gotten a few e-mails either asking or implying that the move no doubt means second-newest contributor Olivia Munn is no longer a part of the show.
But there's room for everyone, guys! Olivia is still very much a part of the Daily Show team even though we haven't seen her onscreen since April 26. As you probably know, Munn's come under fire since many TDS fans believe she got the gig for her looks, and not her comedy prowess.
A Comedy Central rep confirmed to Punchline Magazine that much today, explaining that like Larry Wilmore, another TDS correspondent, both are based in Los Angeles and can't contribute as frequently as their New York City based counterparts. Something to note: Madrigal is also LA based, so we probably won't see him as often as say, Jason Jones or John Oliver. (FROWNY FACE HERE)

Filmmaker Barr Weissman spends most of his time producing and editing but was inspired to make a documentary about the Drive-By Truckers after seeing them live.
"When I first saw them play, I was impressed with how much they seemed to care, how much it mattered to them," Weissman said. "[As I learned more] about their personal story — growing up in the South in the '60s and '70s — and the history of where they were from, I realized there was a lot going on there."
The Drive-By Truckers are known for their wild onstage personas, but in "The Secret to a Happy Ending," Weissman focused on the band's songwriting prowess and impressive work ethic.
"[I saw] the Drive-By Truckers as an opportunity to tell a serious story," Weissman said. "It's a story about building bridges, about shattering stereotypes and about persisting in doing what you do in the face of all odds. They have a DIY 'punk' aesthetic and open minds."
Weissman's career has been generally focused on more "serious" documentaries, many for PBS. His current gig is as segment producer for PBS' National Memorial Day Concert.
"I develop the stories and accompanying documentaries about our soldiers, veterans and their families," Weissman said.
He's not the first guy you'd imagine when you think of a rock 'n' roll documentary, but I think that's why this film is lacking the irritating rock-doc tropes: the drunken fighting, the drama, all of it. Weissman's previous filmmaking experience was attractive to the Drive-By Truckers.
"They asked to see some of my previous films and felt comfortable with the idea that my approach would be 'naturalistic' and not cliché-driven. I'd like to think that to a large extent, I took the same approach that I would have taken to making a film on any subject, just in this case, the subject was a rock 'n' roll band."
"The Secret to a Happy Ending" also marks Weissman's feature-length directing debut.
"I loved it and hated it, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. It was thrilling and an honor to have the opportunity to explore the lives and work of artists that I so greatly admire, but it was really hard work getting the film made," Weissman said. "Not hard work, like working-in-a-coal-mine hard work, just a lot of years alone in the editing room. I also had a small but unbelievable crew of folks who worked with me for free the entire project."

Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse prosecutors have accused both of Nataliah Trumble's parents with violently shaking their 5-month-old daughter in the days leading up to her Nov. 9 death.
The girl suffered brain damage from both assaults at her James Street apartment, prosecutors have said. But it wasn't clear until now which parent would be charged with killing her.
Wanda Trumble, 20, was originally accused by police of killing her daughter by shaking her four days before Nataliah's death. That was based on a brain doctor's speculation that the girl's fatal injury was a few days old.
But an exhaustive autopsy, that took six months to finish, determined that the baby's injuries were new: she had suffered brain trauma within 24 hours before her death.
That led to suspicion against father Joseph Molina, 33, who was the last to see Nataliah conscious before her death.
Last week, a grand jury voted to indict Molina in the girl's death. He was arraigned Friday morning on a manslaughter charge, accused of shaking the baby a day before her death, causing blunt-force head trauma.
Prosecutors say he acted recklessly in causing her death, not that he intended to kill his daughter. Molina is due back before County Court Judge Thomas J. Miller this morning.
Molina defended his innocence when confronted about his daughter's death last year. A Syracuse.com reporter videotaped his response.
For her part, Trumble was indicted last week on a charge of reckless assault of a child for shaking her daughter days before her death. She will be arraigned on the charges in coming days.
Both parents are also facing abuse charges. Molina was accused last week of repeated beatings, causing Nataliah to suffer a spiral leg fracture, rib fracture and spinal nerve damage in the six months before her death.
He also subjected his daughter to unsanitary living conditions and caused her death, prosecutors alleged in the indictment.
Neighbors said that a month before her death, Nataliah had a small cast on a fractured leg. They weren't sure what caused it. Nataliah had two half-siblings, each by a different father - a 1-year-old brother, who lived with her, and a 3-year-old sister who lives with her father.
Wanda Trumble was being investigated for another case of abuse earlier in 2013, police have said.
The autopsy by Deputy Medical Examiner Deborah Johnson took so long because it was incredibly thorough, said Ed Klein, who is Wanda Trumble's lawyer. Johnson sought outside medical advice from neuropathologists and pediatric specialists before disputing the original doctor's opinion.
"There was an amazing amount of research and consultation in preparing it," Klein said during court in May.
