text: There are nearly three-hundred and sixty five nights a year, and on one third of them, somewhere across North America, you will find a modern day social mosh pit of hippies, ex-ravers, hipsters, dub reggae heads, Dead-heads, Burning Man freaks, artists, fashion experimentalists, social activists, and hip-hop enthusiasts all packed into one steamy room of grinding, orgiastic expression and musical experimentation known as a bass ritual, or, more precisely, a night with Bassnectar. Playing at over one-hundred and fifty shows a year; to thousands of different people a month; from sold out festivals to overcrowded clubs and warehouses to tight and tiny bars and venues; Bassnectar's enormous popularity reflects the current hunger for raw substance in modern music and a desire for social integrity inside the party scene. 2005 saw the debut of Bassnectar's double-disc collection entitled "Mesmerizing The Ultra," a journey through next-level musical mutations, dreamy dubtempo, massive bass lines, heavy sledgehammer beats, head-nodding hip-hop, and a wild assortment of unlikely collaborations; remixing and producing with such artists as the enigmatic and mysterious Buckethead, the jam band super group Sound Tribe Sector 9, cult bluegrass rock star Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident), roots musical activists like Michael Franti (Spearhead), Heavyweight Dub Champion and KRS One, and dubstep/breakbeat pioneer FreQ Nasty. Both critically acclaimed and voraciously consumed, the record helped define the current sound of the West Coast Underground. On the new album "Underground Communication" (due out in April on SF Indie Om Records), Bassnectar takes another step forward in his genre-bending blend of musical styles and emotions, combining the visceral melodic presence of modern listening music, with the force and volume of sound system dancehall devastation. Whereas the previous record featured collaborations with musicians and bands, the new record is more of an exploration of hip-hop culture, featuring scores of MCs and rhythmic poetics mashed atop a heavy, driving range of tempo and, of course, those signature throbbing bass lines. Rooted firmly in political conviction, philosophical intention and backed by a rabid fan base and dedicated following, "Underground Communication" sets a new standard for the possibilities of merging music, art, new media and social activism. Speaking on the meaning behind the title of the album, Bassnectar explains "It centers on the concepts of indie media, the strength of underground networking, social activism and defiance through music, hip hop, and the internet." Judging from his enormous following without any commercial radio play, media push, or licensing product placement hype, the title fits perfectly, and comes at a time when issues of net neutrality, corporate media, and privatization of radio and news outlets couldn't be more crucial. Already gaining critical acclaim from tastemakers at URB, FLAVORPILL, and BPM along with winning local Nitevibe.com, SF Weekly and SF Bay Guardian honors for San Francisco's "Best DJ" and forging new paths within the Burning Man scene, the jam band scene, as well as underground hip hop circles and all styles of emerging electronic music, the future's so bright for the young man from San Francisco! Stay tuned for the precursor singles entitled "Yo" featuring Spanish rapper Kristina Maria and "Bomb The Blocks" featuring underground queen MC, Persia; coming exclusively online in January followed by the Om Records 12″ vinyl with remixes by Princess Superstar, Zion I (Amp Live) and Speaker Junk in February!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians, fresh off a walk-off win against the Los Angeles Angels, open their series with the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
It's the third series between the two teams this year. Last year, the Tigers dominated the Tribe en route to the AL Central division title, but this year things have been different, with the Indians having taken four of the first five meetings between the two teams.
Corey Kluber will open up the series. Kluber, who is 6-4 with a 3.35 ERA, went seven innings, allowing three earned runs in a meeting between the two teams in May.
Manager Terry Francona talked about the growing confidence in Kluber and the adjustments Kluber's had to make as a pitcher. Francona also gave an update on Michael Brantley and why the Indians decided to bring Vinnie Pestano back to the bullpen.

State needs to start replacing ancient ferries
Sound Off is a public forum. Articles are selected from letters to the editor or may be written specifically for this feature. Today, Don Brunell, director of small business at Washington Policy Center, argues the states heat-stress regulations are both unnecessary and detrimental to business.
It caused big problems for holiday travelers, but Paula Hammond, Washingtons new Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), did the right thing when she pulled the four Steel Electric class ferries out of service the day before Thanksgiving.
The problem: Cracks and corrosion in the hulls.
The troubles surfaced last March when a 6-inch crack was discovered in the hull of the Klickitat. Two months later, a hole was found in the Quinault, then another hole was discovered in the Illahee.
Later, inspectors found evidence of extreme pitting in the Quinault hull when the vessel was in dry dock at Todd Shipyards.
That was the last straw, and Hammond docked all four.
The four ferries were built in 1927, the same year Charles Lindberg flew non-stop across the Atlantic. The Steel Electrics are most noted for transporting people, cars and trucks from Port Townsend to the Keystone Landing on Whidbey Island.
The Port Townsend-Keystone crossing is particularly tricky because it runs perpendicular to large cargo and cruise ships heading to and from Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Bellingham, Olympia and Vancouver, BC.
The four ferries are the economic lifeline of the Olympic Peninsula and islands.
The state is searching for $160 million to replace the boats, but so far, there is no money.
The Legislature did set aside $347 million to build four new 144-car ferries, but those boats are too big for the Port Townsend run.
The Keystone Harbor channel is narrow and shallow. During foul weather and low tides, runs on that route are often canceled. Newer boats would navigate that channel more safely and would eliminate the need for DOT to move the dock to another location on Whidbey Island.
The fact that the four 80-year old boats are showing dangerous signs of aging is not surprising. DOT and lawmakers have known for years the ferries need replacing, but finding money to build new modern vessels is a challenge, especially when our transportation needs are so great, the costs are skyrocketing, and fuel taxes and fares arent keeping pace.
Lawmakers and DOT need to look at all options. Some have been around for awhile, while others are just surfacing.
For example, under a proposal put together about a decade ago by long-time Tacoma shipbuilder J.M. Martinac, the states ferry system could have four new 130-car, 1,200-passenger ferries.
Martinac developed a design and engineering proposal for four Island Class ferries capable of safely navigating the Keystone Channel under any weather condition. Martinac even proposed delivering the first boat in 2004.
To get around the funding issue, Martinac and its partners originally wanted to lease the ferries to the state and then turn over ownership in 15 years.
According to Martinac, their proposal would save Washington taxpayers $200 million $80 million in construction costs, another $80 million in financing, and $40 million in lower maintenance costs.
A second proposal comes from Matt Nichols, CEO of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders. He wants the state to consider purchasing a ferry similar to the one his company just built for Pierce County. That boat crosses shipping channels from Steilacoom heading for McNeil and Anderson Islands.
Nichols said a ferry could be built in a year for about $20 million.
Washington has at least three shipyards capable of building replacement vessels for the Steel Electrics.
Whether its Todd Shipyards, Martinac, Nichols Brothers or a new venture, Gov. Gregoire, DOT and the Legislature should seek their input on ways to creatively bring new ferries online as soon as possible.
Besides, as our economy shows signs of weakening, shipyards, their workers and suppliers would welcome the business.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Brian Hoyer put a touchdown on the board on his lone drive against the Bears and then got out of the way while Johnny Jamboogie took over and did his thing.
To quote Manziel's new Snickers commercial in which he plays an aerobics instructor nicknamed Johnny Jamboogie, he worked those thighs, he added a little jazz to it, he let them see him boogie, and he even did those arm circle things.
It was exactly the kind of spirited performance the Browns were expecting from their sluggish offense in the preseason finale -- and Manziel made a strong case mostly with his legs to get a package of plays for the opener in Pittsburgh Sept. 7.
"It falls into the category of Johnny being Johnny,'' said Browns coach Mike Pettine. "A couple of those plays were 'no, no, no, yes' – but that's what he does. That, to me, is what he brings to the table. He just needs to get more comfortable in his reads, take the easy throws that are there. He's certainly shown why he has the reputation that he does."
Normally, the weiner dog races at halftime would be the most exciting thing about the fourth preseason game, but the real Dawgs actually gave their faithful fans something to cheer about during the game, a 33-13 drubbing of the Bears.
Granted, it came mostly against the Bears' third-team defense and Manziel unleashed a few wounded ducks, but the offense --- which lost its best player in Josh Gordon to a season-long drug ban on Wednesday -- at least showed a pulse 10 days before the opener.
Hoyer started the game and played only one series, but made it count. Against mostly third-string Bears fighting for a job, Hoyer engineered a 13-play, 85-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard TD run by Ben Tate.
On the drive, Hoyer completed 6-of-8 attempts for 69 yards. The march included strikes of 17 and 21 yards to diminutive rookie wideout Taylor Gabriel and a 13-yarder to Andrew Hawkins. Hoyer -- who had put only one TD on the board in his previous 14 possessions -- earned a 100.5 rating on the night.
"It was great to get out there and just move right down the field,'' Hoyer said at halftime. "We said tonight wasn't about them. It was about us. Regardless of who's playing for them – they were nameless and faceless opponents – we just wanted to go out and make everything about us. It's good to go down and have an 85-yard drive and just execute and get in the end zone."
Hoyer had several chances at TD passes, but overthrew tight end Jordan Cameron at the left side of the end zone on awkward throw on the run; and had a pass to Andrew Hawkins broken up at the goal-line. He also drew a roughing-the-passer call after a fourth-down toss to Ray Agnew at the 1 that set up Tate's TD scramble.
"It just shows us what we're capable of, and that's what's been the frustrating part this preseason,'' he said. "To go out there and just do it against a different team is important. It's a good feeling heading out of the preseason."
Pettine was complimentary of his starting quarterback.
"He was sharp, made some good throws, made the right reads,'' said Pettine. "It was good to see our guys make some plays down the field."
Manziel entered the game with 46 seconds left in the first quarter and played through the opening drive of the second half. In his five series of work, he provided the same kind of spark at FirstEnergy Stadium that he did Saturday night during a 33-14 loss to the Rams.
Manziel produced two field goals and one touchdown in his five possessions, including a 1-yard TD pass to tight end Jim Dray at the left side of the end on a bootleg left. The score followed a crowd-pleasing 27-yard pass to receiver Nate Burleson, on which Manziel boogied, bobbed and weaved through Chicago defenders until he found the 12th-year pro open.
Overall, Manziel completed only 6-of-17 attempts (35 percent) for 83 yards and the one TD for a 71.4 rating. Several of his deep passes wobbled and others were off the mark, including one to Agnew and one to MarQuies Gray.
He was much more effective with his legs, churning out 55 yards on his four carries -- including a long gain of 22 -- for a 13.8-yard average.
Asked Tuesday how he felt his speed an athleticism was holding up in the NFL, Manziel said he felt good.
"Obviously the windows and the gaps and the holes close a lot faster at this level, but I feel like I've done a good job of getting out of bounds or not really taking too many solid hits to keep myself healthy first and foremost,'' he said. "At the same time, I feel like whenever I did step up, if we go all the way back to Detroit and had a 12 or 14 yard run, whatever it was, I feel like everything has been fine. It's not like it was in college. Obviously you can't do the same things, but I feel like everybody knew that and I knew that going into all this."
After one 14-yard dash on the opening play of the second half, Manziel slid like a Major Leaguer.
"There's never a time where I'm out there and I'm taking off and I know I need to slide that I ever have to think or second guess about getting down or how to slide or whatever it is,'' Manziel said Tuesday. "You see some guys have some kind of awkward slides throughout the NFL, but for me, I've played baseball for all those years. I just feel like it's pretty natural. It's just like stealing second base. Just get down and slide and get up and get onto the next play."
Manziel's stats may have been better had he not gotten off to such a rocky start. On his opening pass, tight end Gary Barnidge flat-out dropped a 28-yard strike over the middle, but the defense was flagged for holding. Next play, rookie running back Terrance West fumbled the ball away after a 1-yard run to set up a Chicago touchdown.
Manziel was strip-sacked on his second possession, but the Browns recovered. Still, he went three-and-out on the drive.
His touchdown drive began with a 38-yard pass interference call -- when Travis Benjamin got drilled just before the long duck floated in his direction -- and he launched another deep wobbler to Charles Johnson just before the receiver got his helmet knocked off by a defender.
Manziel ran for 11 yards on his final drive to set up a 37-yard field goal.
"It was good to see the guys get out, play and make some plays – some real good teaching moments still on tape for us,'' said Pettine at halftime. "It was good experience. It was a risk-reward situation on the fact that we came out of it healthy, as I was told -- it's a real positive for us."
One positive for both quarterbacks was that Burleson, who had missed the previous three preseason games, came back and made some plays. If he makes the team, it might ease the sting of the loss of Gordon at least a little.

A Palmyra man is accused of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and several traffic violations in a crash last month that injured a 33-year-old woman.
Victor H. Snavely Jr., 45, of the 400 block of West Main Street, was driving on Route 422 about 9:15 p.m. on Oct. 13 when his car veered off the road and struck Diana C. Flanagan, who was walking west on the berm, police said. Flanagan of Palmyra was taken to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for her injuries.
Snavely left the scene and was found by North Londonderry Twp. police at the Palmyra Shopping Center, police said.
Besides DUI, Snavely was charged today with accidents involving personal injury, duty to give information or render aid, immediate notice of accident to police department, reckless driving, careless driving and disregard to single traffic lane.

The musical elements on your new album "The Lost Dream" are varied, encompassing jazz, rock, and new age. Who have been your biggest influences musically as you have matured as a player?
From the early sounds of Motown Records to Bob Seger to Anita Baker.
Do you remember one song you heard or one performance you saw in growing up that became a major catalyst for you to pursue music as a career?
Jean Luc Ponty as a live player has blown me away on many occasions. The energy, technical skills and overall good band sound does it for me.
The bass guitar is your instrument of choice. How did that come about?
Actually by default. There was a lack of bass players in Detroit, and when I was in school I played Tuba, so I was familiar with the bass cleff and started reading and playing right away.
How do you describe your style of music to people?
I describe it as progressive new age jazz. This doesn't do it justice because of the smooth jazz influences that I have but it's a good short answer.
Your compositions seem to be a reflection of a range of personal emotional states. Could you walk us through the writing process, in other words how those emotional states end up being converted into melody and sonic textures?
Well being an instrumental artist you must look at yourself as taking a painter's canvas and then choosing your colors that you will be using, in this case those are my instruments, then choosing a theme which I want the art to fall in (smooth jazz, new age, jazz-rock fusion). And like the painter with his brush strokes, I put down the notes. In the case of the Lost Dream I had a concept. The concept of The Lost Dream is to experience that moment of intense sadness when one realizes that the hopes and dream that were very live and real have gone. Whether it be a relationship or the bigger picture when our country lost its innocence on 9/11. Then, putting down in music through the use of particular instrumentation and melody. In this case it was the sax and a retro 50's vibrato guitar trading licks back and forth in a minor key, then a unison crescendo to intensify the feeling.
When you're not involved in musical pursuits, what other things in life do you feel a passion for?
Right now I have strong political feelings. I would like to think we can change as a country for the better in our lifetime.

Results tagged ' Fu-Te Ni '
Below, Furbush called up; Wilk, Wells optioned
The Tigers announced two moves after the game — one of them expected, one less so. Duane Below is being recalled from Triple-A Toledo in advance of his Major League debut as Wednesday's starting pitcher. But in addition, Charlie Furbush — who was the Tigers' other option to start Wednesday — is coming up to handle long relief, which would suggest he's no longer a starting option for the Tigers, at least not in the near futures.
Heading back to Toledo are left-hander Adam Wilk and outfielder Casper Wells. The latter comes about because the Tigers had an extra position player on their roster while they didn't have a fifth starter.
"It's a shame, because he didn't really deserve to go down," Leyland said. "He's played well. He's done a good job. I just felt like — we felt like — if we rest Magglio against the righty, then we'd have Dirks in the outfield. And right now, he just got the short end of the stick, and it's a crying shame, because he does not deserve to go down."
Wilk will start for the Mud Hens Wednesday night in what had been Below's rotation spot. Fu-Te Ni started in place of Furbush and pitched seven innings of one-run ball with no walks and four strikeouts.
Sizemore, Weinhardt among Tigers cuts
The latest round of Tigers cuts came this morning, and it included two pretty big surprises. Scott Sizemore and Robbie Weinhardt are headed to Triple-A Toledo, along with Clete Thomas. Fu-Te Ni and Max St. Pierre were assigned to minor league camp. The moves whittle Detroit's roster to 28 players, with three more moves needing to be made by the time the Tigers break camp next Tuesday.
Ni optioned to Toledo
The much-pondered question of what the Tigers would do with Fu-Te Ni got an answer Wednesday afternoon, when he was optioned to Triple-A Toledo postgame. No return move was immediately announced, but the first candidate you probably thought of isn't the guy. Leyland said Ryan Perry would not be the guy coming up.
Seay definitely out, set to have MRI
Bobby Seay had a setback in his bullpen session Saturday morning and will have another MRI exam on his ailing left shoulder.
said he will have the exam in the next couple days was expected to have the exam Saturday and have the results checked out by a few specialists, including orthopaedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Seay had an MRI last month after he was first shut down from throwing, but results showed no structural damage.
Manager Jim Leyland said Saturday it's a certainty that Seay will begin the season on the disabled list.
The news was somewhat better on fellow Tigers reliever Zach Miner, whose MRI results came back negative. He has been diagnosed with a muscle strain around his elbow and hopes rest and treatment will allow him to start throwing again in the coming days.
Miner is still hopeful he can be ready for Opening Day. Leyland indicated he isn't sure.
Seay was originally diagnosed with bursitis in his upper left arm and tendinitis in the shoulder. He had started throwing last week and began throwing off a mound earlier in the week. His latest attempt, though, stopped before it started.
"Throwing in the bullpen today, I couldn't get my arm in a throwing position," Seay said.
That was the indication that it was time for another look in the elbow. His next exam will include a dye injection in the elbow to give a more detailed view.
Seay just wants to know. He's been dealing with discomfort since he started his throwing program in January, and he wants to get it healthy rather than make it worse.
"At this point, I'm just fed up with the pain associated with trying to get loose and feelings in my arm I shouldn't be having," he said. "Whether it's major or minor, I have to get some peace of mind to know what's going on."
With Seay out, the Tigers go from having a potential surplus of left-handed relievers to trying to fill in without their veteran lefty specialist. Phil Coke is all but certain to be part of the group, having been taken out of consideration for a starting role a couple weeks ago. Sidearmer Fu-Te Ni was a valuable reliever down the stretch last year after a midseason call-up. Offseason signing Brad Thomas has had success this spring. Daniel Schlereth is a valuable relief prospect after coming over from Arizona in the Edwin Jackson trade, but he has had his share of spring struggles.
Robertson to DL; Ni in Houston
The Tigers placed Nate Robertson on the 15-day DL this morning with a mass in the medial portion of his left elbow. The move is retroactive to Saturday. To take his place, they purchased the contract of Fu-Te Ni from Triple-A Toledo. He flew to Houston this morning and should be available for the game today.
UPDATE: Robertson is flying back to Detroit to have his elbow checked out team doctor Stephen Lemos. Head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said the tissue mass in his elbow is like a cyst, and it has been aggravating his nerves, causing numbness and tingling in his ring and pinky fingers. They expect he'll have to undergo minor surgery to have the mass excised, but they hope to do that along the same area where he had Tommy John surgery years ago. The timetable on any return depends on how that procedure goes.
As for Ni, he arrived in the clubhouse a little bit ago, as did his translator, Fox.
Time to thin out the bullpen
Tigers sent out three relievers this morning. Taiwanese left-hander Fu-Te Ni and right-hander Casey Fien were assigned to Minor League camp. Righty Freddy Dolsi, meanwhile, was optioned to Triple-A Toledo, where Ni and Fien will probably join him in the Mud Hens bullpen.
Tuesday happenings
JUPITER, Fla. — Here are some quick pregame notes that came out before the Tigers-Cardinals game at Roger Dean Stadium:
and that's about it. But other than that, I don't know anything about that. … We're going to take it slow [with Treanor]."
13 Tigers on World Baseball Classic rosters
Before you read the list, keep in mind two things: These are 45-man provisional rosters, not the final 28-man rosters that will be announced next month, so a few of these guys might not make the cut. Plus, some of these players weren't going to spring training with the big league club, so they won't cut into the camp population. With that in mind, here's the list, sorted by country:
Curtis Granderson, OF, USA
Justin Verlander, P, USA
Miguel Cabrera, IF, Venezuela
Armando Galarraga, P, Venezuela
Carlos Guillen, OF, Venezuela
Magglio Ordonez, OF, Venezuela
Placido Polanco, 2B, Dominican Rep.
Fernando Rodney, P, Dominican Rep.
Fu-Te Ni, P, Chinese Taipei
Cale Iorg, IF, Canada
Max St. Pierre, C, Canada
Andrew Graham, C, Australia
Brendan Wise, P, Australia
Spring training dates announced
As expected, Tigers pitchers and catchers will have their first formal workout in Lakeland on Feb. 14, with the full squad working out on the 17th. For players in the World Baseball Classic, they have to report to their national team camps on March 2 — except for players from Asian countries involved in Pool A, who must report on Feb. 27. That means an earlier departure for recent signing Fu-Te Ni. So unless he pitches in the Tigers' Spring Training opener Feb. 25 against the Braves, he probably won't get into a game for Detroit until he returns from the WBC. Whether that puts him at any disadvantage for earning a spot remains to be seen. The Tigers will watch him in the tournament, so they'll get some idea there how he's throwing.

And then there was one. Southeastern Louisiana (11-2) stands as the
lone Southland Conference representative left in the 2013 Football Championship
Series playoffs as the Lions host New Hampshire in Saturday's
quarterfinal matchup.
The No. 4-ranked Southland champs ride a 10-game win streak into the contest, but face a playoff-tested team as they host their first-ever quarterfinal game just a week after defeating Sam Houston State 30-29 in the Lions' first playoff game in program history.
"It's huge for our program to get that first win in the playoffs," said Southeastern coach Ron Roberts. "Now they have that experience. You look back at [last Saturday's] game, there were some pregame jitters. There was a lot of nervousness and uncharacteristic things."
The No. 29 Wildcats (9-4) carry a five-game win streak into Strawberry Stadium, but Roberts said New Hampshire's postseason experience -- and possibly Southeastern's lack thereof -- is going to be one of the biggest factors in Saturday's game.
New Hampshire leads the nation with 10 consecutive trips to the FCS playoffs, reaching the quarterfinals on seven different occasions. But the Wildcats failed to advance to the semifinals each time, going 0-6 during the run.
"I think you can say their players are a little more experienced this season in the NCAA playoffs than we are," Roberts said. "Our guys have got to handle that center stage a little better than we did last week.
"We did some uncharacteristic things of ourselves, but I think there's a wealth of experience and confidence on both sides of the ball."
Roberts added that just because his team may not have the playoff experience of New Hampshire, doesn't mean the Lions don't have any big-game experience.
The American Football Coaches Association's Region Five Coach of the Year was adamant about Southeastern's experience in tough spots this season, after playing games on the road against TCU and then-No. 6 South Dakota State at the beginning of the year -- the Lions' sole losses of the season.
"We don't need to make it any bigger than it is for our guys," Roberts said. "It's a football game and it's about us executing, and we're going to try to go out and control the little things we can control that's going to help us win."
On offense, Roberts can trust Southland Player of the Year quarterback Bryan Bennett, a former Oregon Duck who threw for 2,896 yards and 20 touchdowns on 61.7 percent passing this season, and rushed for another 1,137 yards and 15 scores.
"[Bennett's] a tremendous player," Roberts said. "Obviously he can hurt teams with his feet, he can hurt teams with his arm. He's playing exceptionally well and we're obviously going to need his leadership and big-play ability [on Saturday]."
The game is set to kickoff at Strawberry Stadium at 6 p.m. on Saturday with the winner playing the winner of No. 1 North Dakota State and Coastal Carolina in the semifinals the following week.

And what a return.
Bailey, Wagner's all-time leader in strikeouts, worked a perfect ninth inning, struck out two of the three batters he faced.
In fact he threw 10 pitches, nine for strikes.
Afterward, he had this to say to the San Jose Mercury News, lauding his teammates for their performance in the two-time AL All Star's absence:
"They've done a great job. A lot of guys picked up some saves, and it's nice that they got that experience and it'll help us out down the road," Bailey said before the A's 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. "Anyone in our bullpen is capable of getting saves and I've said that for a long time. We're a unit down there and it doesn't matter what role you're in. Just go out and do your job and there'll be good results."Like this? Want more sports news? Follow us on Twitter.

Over the course of many years, the Aeroflot Open in Moscow established itself as one of the biggest and strongest Open tournaments in the world.
Sadly, the 2013 edition of the event held from 12-17 February had a completely revised format. Instead of a 9-round Open Swiss at standard time controls, we were "treated" to a confusing mix of rapid and blitz events, and no classical chess at all. A very strange decision by the organisers.
The event started with a 9-round rapid (15 minutes plus 10 second increment) qualifying competition of more than 250 players, with 32 players advancing to the next stage. Many of the last round games were agreed drawn in just a few minutes as leading players ensured their top-32 qualification places. In some games, as little as 3 moves were played. At the opposite extreme, one round 6 encounter lasted 194 moves!
The 32 qualifiers then played two rounds of a rapid KO competition (2-game mini-matches) to reduce the field to 8 survivors: Gata Kamsky, Anton Korobov, Le Quang Liem, Pavel Eljanov, Rauf Mamedov, Sanan Sjugirov, Dmitry Frolyanov and Aleksandr Shimanov.
These players were joined by 8 invited stars: Anatoly Karpov, Alexander Grischuk, Peter Svidler, Dmitry Andreikin, Sergey Karjakin, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Wang Hao and Shahriyar Mammadyarov for 4 more rounds of rapid KO matches.
The eventual winner was top seeded Sergey Karjakin, but only after his final opponent Alexander Grischuk lost on time in a completely won position in a final Armageddon game.
The separate blitz tournament (3 minutes plus 2 second increment) was won by Ian Nepomniachtchi with a score of 15½/18. The top scorers were:
The official website coverage (in Russian only) is here. The best source for surviving game scores is probably the ever-reliable TWIC.
I just want to agree - this format is just awful - taking a great annual event and making somewhat of a carnival out of it. What are we doing with our game? If we aren't careful FIDE will be deciding World Championships with Rapid playoffs - oh that's right they already do.
@ MatP - I believe they are rapid/blitz ratings as appropriate.
Where do these ratings come from? I don't remember Karjakin breaching the 2800 barrier :)
Videos are there:
that was not a fair format, most of the players had to play many games to get to the end stage, while 8 players got to start in the final stage such as Ian who won the tournament, but he only had to play in last stage. It was not a fair setup.
Sadly no pics.
Cool to see Karpov is playing, sadly he scored 0 points in the 4 rounds.

Verbal Kent To Move With The Walls This Fall
Posted on August 25, 2006 by Jamie Slaughter
Gravel Records present's Move With the Walls, (which will be released on 10-17-06) the introspective and powerful sophomore release from Chicago's Verbal Kent. Verbal's 2004 debut, What Box, featuring Wordsworth & One Be Lo, generated considerable buzz both in the U.S. and abroad.
However, within months of his debut release, Verbal Kent survived an attempt on his life. His throat was slashed in an alley near his home, the wound just missing his jugular vein by centimeters. With the near death experience providing the prime motivation for his sophomore album, Move With The Walls breaks down the reality of a recovery in progress and the will to break free from the confines and the hold of the pain associated. The album also covers a range of topics and concepts, such as "Rewind", detailing a troubled relationship, and "Trapped", about feeling overwhelmed by life's situations.
With the help of incredible production, courtesy of Oddisee (who chips in four tracks), Maker of GLUE, Overflo, K-Kruz of Modill, Kaz1 and Earmint, Verbal Kent's 'Move With the Walls' is a thoughtful manifesto that fused with classic hip-hop collaboration tracks, alongside such artists as Ill Bill of Non Phixion, Tableek of Maspyke, Blade (UK), Longshot, as well as label mates Earatik Statik and Rusty Chains.
Having toured with such legendary artists as Sadat X of Brand Nubian and ED O. G., as well as having shared the stage with KRS-One, De La Soul, The Pharcyde, the GZA and Boot Camp Clik, Verbal Kent is well prepared to make an impact in 2006 both on wax and on stage.
Tracklisting and Credits for Verbal Kent's Move With The Walls:
1. First 2 (produced by Leadbelly)
2. Barcode (produced by K-Kruz)

A new way to blow out birthday candles!!
Trip Start Oct 01, 2004
121Trip End Ongoing
The public ferry is located just 10 Min's from the Ibis Riverside and costs 8baht to cross. From the public ferry you can take the "speed ferry" for 30 baht. The "speed ferry" will take you along the river and stops at various piers. We were after Pier 8, and off to see the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.
The Grand Palace is exactly that, its 94.5 hectares and contains more than 100 buildings. The inside walls are lined with murals dating back to 1782. Inside the Palace stands Wat Phra Kaew (also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha). Its Bangkok's biggest attraction and is therefore guarded by mythical giants :)
The Grand Palace was a magnificent experience
Wat Pho
After lunch we ventured to Wat Pho, home of the reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is less touristy and just as breathtaking. The reclining Buddha stretches 46m long and stands 15 m high. Did I mention she is gold? Within the walls are four sanctuaries containing 394 Gilded Buddha images. Many of which dated back to Auaytua's time.
Enought about history, lets Talk massage :) Inside the walls is a famous massage school. If you desire, you can receive an hour of traditional Thai massage within the temple walls.
Wat Arun
Wat Arun was the original home of the Emerald Buddha and has a beautiful 82m high prang (Khmer style). If you are feeling up to it, you can climb up the steps for a fantastic view of Bangkok.
The Night Market
The night market has something to offer everyone. From food to to knockoff bags and beyond. There is no shortage of shady strip clubs in the market. For a price you can watch women blow out birthday candles blank blank blank. If you are shopping for silk, turn around. The market is a sight to see, but only offers knock off products. In general, the prices are higher and the q

HOLYOKE — Capt. Denise M. Duguay has been tapped to lead the Holyoke Police Department Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Duguay, a 20-year veteran of the city police force, took over as commanding officer of the bureau on Sunday. She replaces Lt. Matthew F. Moriarty, who's now commander of the Community Policing Division.
Duguay was promoted to captain in 2011.
As head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, she will be responsible for overseeing the detectives and officers who investigate drug crimes, homicides, shootings and sexual and domestic assaults, among other crimes.
Holyoke had a homicide-free 2012. This year, however, Paper City police are so far probing two homicides that occurred within the past few weeks – the June 2 slaying of 34-year-old Juan Quinones and the May 28 killing of 35-year-old Danny Rodriguez.
Both men were shot dead, police said.
"It's a fulfillment of a lifelong dream," Duguay said after her October 2011 promotion to captain.

So. Give me a sense of that event again, and what the police are trying to say.
So I was immediately arrested and placed in the back seat of this police car, with four other police officers, two in the front and two in the back. And before the car proceeded, this officer pointed a shotgun right in my face. And I remember looking down this double barrel shotgun and I had to think quickly, you know, ah, because, one of the things which I had just put--fear, intimidate you. And I decided that, um, I was not gonna let anything turn me around at that moment. Although I knew what the police were trying to say was, "OK, you've been to Gary, Indiana. You've been to this convention and you've got your National Black Agenda now. But we are still in charge. And we aren't about to let Black folks out of the box." I knew that's what they were trying to say. But it was my responsibility not only to see the shotgun, but to see another responsibility. And that is to let these policemen know my commitment, my commitment is lifelong. That you can't let any form of intimidation, ah, deter you--a shotgun, a false arrest, no form of intimidation can hold this movement back. And your commitment has to be lifelong.
That's good. That's it.
That's it. That was good.

WSP trooper cleared of wrongdoing in shooting
After reviewing the material from more than two months of investigations, the Kitsap County Prosecutors Office recently decided that State Trooper Ron Kessler acted correctly when he shot and killed Rosa Hammer during a traffic stop in August.
The shooting occurred after Kessler stopped Hammer and her friend, Tessa Baskins, for speeding westbound on State Route 16 through Gorst. They were headed back home to Port Angeles after having spent the day in Burien.
While trying to search the car on suspicion of marijuana possession, Kessler and Hammer got into a struggle over her backpack. Hammer pulled a gun from the pack and shot the trooper in the hand, and he responded by shooting her three times in the torso, killing her.
Hammer was pronounced dead at the scene.
The autopsy report said Hammer had cannabanoids (the active ingredient in marijuana), amphetamine, methamphetamine, oxycodone (a painkiller), antihistamines, lidocaine, nicotine and caffeine in her system when she was killed.
Trooper Kessler, in the course of making a lawful arrest, was confronted with a subject who refused to obey his commands, who resisted actively and who threatened with deadly force, said Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney Russell Hauge in a memorandum.
Statements taken from a number of witnesses, including Baskins and Hammers five-year-old daughter who was in the car at the time corroborate Kesslers testimony that Hammer fired the first shot. They also agree that Kessler warned Hammer numerous times before he fired his weapon.
It was a terrible tragedy, Hauge said. [However], Trooper Kesslers actions were justifiable.
Hammers father, Edward Hammer, said he was not satisfied with the findings of the report. He said he doesnt understand how if the autopsy report said Rosas trigger finger was broken, she could have shot the officer.
Im a little upset, Hammer said. That report was just a justification for the trooper to kill my daughter.
Hammer said he is still digesting the 395-page investigation report, and hasnt decided whether or not to pursue the matter further. Although it is rare for someone to request an independent review after the prosecutors office has made a decision, Hauge said Hammer would be free to initiate a civil suit if he wanted too.
Its all in the future, Hammer said. Its too early to decide anything or do anything.
The State Patrol is conducting its own departmental review of the report to make sure that Kessler, who is still recovering from his wounds, didnt break any rules during the incident. State Patrol spokesman Cpt. Eric Robertson said that the investigation is standard procedure.
The fact that the shooting was declared justifiable by the prosecutors office is positive he said.
Robertson added: Troopers being confronted with hostile people is rare.

First, I'll tell you the one aspect of this idea that does make at least some sense to me: sharing ideas with other patients. From the article:
Wilson, a 52-year-old Littleton man diagnosed with high cholesterol a few years ago, learned a few things at his first group appointment last week. He'd never asked his doctor about drinking red wine before and hadn't known about a diet-assisting website that ranks sugary food on a glycemic index.
Adriana Fischer, a 46-year-old Centennial woman with high cholesterol, said she was thankful other people were there to ask questions — some of which she hadn't thought of on her own. She attended the group visit on her doctor's advice, and because she wanted to know what to do "to prevent any further damage" to her body.
I can see the logic in that. It's almost like a classroom. OK, I get that.
However, I'm a private person, so I'm not really keen on discussing my health matters with others, and overall this strikes me as cheapness disguised as good health care policy.
Ignoring The Costs
Group visits are often sold as part of a new payment paradigm: paying doctors based on performance, rather than services rendered:
Health care reform passed by Congress requires insurance companies to develop plans to reimburse doctors based on performance, not per service. The "medical home" concept is emerging as key to that transformation.
On the face of it, this may seem like a good idea. Who doesn't want better performance for their dollar?
To see one reason why this is a bad idea, simply apply the same principle to something else. Imagine if grocery stores were paid not by the food we take, but by whether that food makes us healthy (this may actually happen someday, if government gets even more involved in food and health). People would take lots of food, there would be shortages, fewer grocery stores, and there would be pressure within grocery stores to present you as being healthy, so they are paid. This in turn would lead to more government oversight of grocers, to make sure they aren't cheating, and so on.
This is exactly what will happen in medicine with the reimbursement by wellness model: shortages, and pressure to overlook actual health problems so the numbers look good and providers can get paid.
Fundamentally, this payment model does not allow insurers to take the actual costs of providing the service into account; it mandates that they provide something regardless of the cost. There is a word for this (hint: starts with "s").
A Shift In Role
Another reason this idea is suspect is that it distorts the nature of what insurance actually is, and more important, who is actually doing the shopping.
Insurance companies are not supposed to shop around and reward good performance, that is our job, when we shop for health care and doctors. Insurers are supposed to pay for the selections we have already made, after the fact. Their job is to reimburse, that's it.
So why is this shift in role from reimbursement to demanding shopper occurring? Because government is not a passive service provider, nor is it an insurer, nor is it a thinking private citizen. It is a pseudo-customer with the power of life and death over the industry, via the powers of licensing, for example. Or via the power to call medical industry executives onto the carpet and read them the riot act, like is happening with the finance industry right now. Their choice is to follow policy recommendations, or have laws rammed down their throats.
What we are seeing is the shift of power away from the public, and into government hands. We are seeing the replacement of individual judgment with bureaucratic judgment, backed by force.
So, let's call shared visits what they are: one more tightening of the noose.
This is the government moving in just a little bit more, making a recommendation here, passing a law there, in its drive for eventual ownership of the medical industry.
When we survey the wreckage our government has made of the industry so far, and consider its "innovative" and "progressive" policy initiatives, let's bear in mind that the general trend of civilization and industrialization has been from the public throng and towards privacy, not the other way around. As wealth has increased, we have been able to afford more elbow room, more privacy, and more of what we as unique individuals want, not what we are forced to have because we cannot afford our own, and must share with the tribe. This includes having private consultations with a physician.
Our medical industry has been so squeezed of funds by government pressure, disruptive taxation and regulation, and being forced to provide services without payment, that we are now reduced to sharing the products we buy. And that is why I cannot see shared doctor visits as a good thing.

In the past two years, no healthy animal has been killed and the euthanasia rates of cats and dogs considered treatable or manageable has plunged as well.
"We're so thrilled with this huge accomplishment," said Deborah Wood, manager of the Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter in Washington County.
The Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland, formed in 2006, includes the six large shelters in the area: Oregon Humane Society, Multnomah County Animal Services, Clackamas County Dog Services, Bonnie L. Hays, Humane Society for Southwest Washington and the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood.
Dating to 2006, the shelters started keeping track of the numbers of pets that were euthanized based on four classifications: healthy, treatable, manageable and unhealthy and unmanageable. They've chipped away at the kill rate by focusing on saving all healthy pets while also working on reducing the number of other pets that were euthanized.
The shelters have shared resources, allowing them to move animals when one shelter gets overcrowded, and today they all have at least one veterinarian on staff, ensuring that injured or ill animals receive quick treatment. The program has also been helped by a spay and neuter program offering 28,000 low-cost surgeries in the past three years.
A lot of their success has come through close communication and commitment, said Britta Bavaresco, former executive director of the Cat Adoption Team and a co-founder of the coalition.
"A lot of it has been about a mind shift," said Bavaresco. "It's amazing what you can do when you' re committed to something."

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini have revealed that controversial forward Carlos Tevez could make his first-team return in next week's Premier League match against Chelsea.
The Argentina striker has not played senior football for City since Mancini accused him of refusing to warm-up during a Champions League loss away to Bayern Munich in September.
The 28-year-old then spent more than three months in Argentina without City's permission before returning to north-west England after failing to secure a move during the January transfer window.
Tevez though has since apologised to Mancini and has recently played two matches for the reserves.
City don't have a league match until Chelsea visit Eastlands a week on Wednesday and Mancini, asked if Tevez could be available for that game, said: "We will see in the next week. It depends on Carlo.
"If Carlo is okay then probably, but it depends on a lot of things," the Italian added.
City's loss away to Swansea last weekend saw the longstanding leaders surrender top spot in the Premier League to local rivals Manchester United.
And they could be as many as four points behind reigning champions United by the time they kick off against Chelsea.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie's newest nominee to the state Supreme Court can expect to get a hearing in the state Senate, though no date has been set, Senate President Stephen Sweeney said today.
At a news conference today, Sweeney said he was pleased to see that Christie nominated Judge Faustino Fernandez-Vina, a Cuban-born judge from South Jersey, to the state's highest court last week.
The seven-member Supreme Court currently has two vacancies amid a political standoff between Christie and the Democrats. Sweeney, however, indicated that Fernandez-Vina's nomination will not be rolled into that feud.
"We would like to not have another vacancy right now, so we've just got to figure out the timing," Sweeney said of Fernandez-Vina's hearing. "Racial diversity and partisan balance are very important, and I'm glad (Christie) nominated a Latino."
But Christie's two other nominees — Superior Court Judge David Bauman and Board of Public Utilities President Robert Hanna — can't expect the same, at least not yet, Sweeney said. The pair has been waiting since December for their nominations to be heard.
Christie announced last week that he wanted Fernandez-Vina to fill the seat currently held by Justice Helen Hoens, a Republican who was up for lifetime tenure in October but will not be nominated.
"He's nominated another Republican to go into Hoens's seat, so we're doing that," said Sweeney (D-Gloucester). "The other two we'll continue to have discussions with the front office on."
Bauman, a Republican, and Hanna, and independent who was worked for Christie for years, would fill two seats previously held by Democrats. Sweeney said he wants to see Christie maintain the "partisan balance" on the court.
Christie's spokesman, Michael Drewniak, said Sweeney's comments were "a hopeful sign, sure."
"But we still have two other extremely qualified nominations, both of whom have been through the confirmation process before without so much as a whiff of complaint about their qualities or character," Drewniak said of Bauman and Hanna. "It is the governor's constitutional right to make Supreme Court nominations, and it's the Judiciary Committee's obligation to give them hearings and an up or down vote. Everyone should do their jobs in compliance with the state constitution."
Sweeney and state Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D-Union), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, also said they were prepared to give Hoens a hearing, had Christie chosen to nominate her for tenure.
The governor said he refused to do so because Democrats would have destroyed her reputation and voted her down.
"There was not a foregone conclusion whether Justice Hoens would have had the support or not," Sweeney said. "You had one member of the committee that said he wasn't supporting her. She only needed two votes from our side."
But Sweeney said he wasn't sure whether Hoens would have survived a confirmation hearing. Justice Barry Albin, a Democratic appointee, made it through in 2009 with some Republican support despite fiery opposition from GOP senators in the minority, he noted.
"I was here when the Republicans brutalized Barry Albin, and I mean, it was a vicious attack, probably one of the nastiest ones I've ever seen and he was approved still," Sweeney said.
Scutari said his committee has only rejected two lawyers nominated by Christie -- former assistant state attorney general Phillip Kwon and former Chatham mayor Bruce Harris -- not judges or sitting justices. Democratic senators last year questioned Kwon's family finances and Harris's lack of courtroom experience before rejecting them.
"How hard it is to knock down a sitting justice?" Scutari said. "It's safe to say, I had concerns (about Hoens), but that's where I'll end it. I think you've got to do a lot of stuff on the bench that we find objectionable to not get tenure."
Although Christie said the high court is being damaged by the vacancies, Scutari said the two senior judges from the Appellate Division filling in — Democrat Mary Catherine Cuff and Republican Ariel Rodriguez — are more qualified than Christie's current nominees.
Of Bauman and Hanna, Scutari said: "None of them have experience in the review of the lower court's record at the level of the temporary assignments of the senior appellate judges."
"It is not a dire situation. The court is running," Scutari said.
Sweeney and Scutari both said they don't know much about Fernandez-Vina but will study up on the Republican's resume and trial-court record.
"I have a recollection that he's appeared in front of the committee and he was confirmed unanimously (to be a judge), and that's a good thing, but that should not prejudge a different position," Scutari said.
• War between Gov. Christie, Senate threatens justice itself, experts say
• Supreme stunner: Christie declines to nominate Justice Hoens for lifetime tenure
• Utilities head, military veteran named Gov. Christie's latest Supreme Court nominees

DETROIT -- Brad Ausmus mentioned a couple times in passing early in the season that infielder Danny Worth could throw a knuckleball. Then, Worth made two appearances as a mop-up man out of the bullpen.
So those who are superstitious probably don't want to hear the random observation Ausmus made Saturday afternoon about relief pitcher Ian Krol.
"Krol can play some outfield," Ausmus said. "If you watch Krol during batting practice, he's one of our better outfielders."
The answer was in response to a question about whether Ausmus could ever see a scenario in which he would move a pitcher to the outfield for one batter, which would allow Ausmus to keep a pitcher in the game to face two batters who were not in consecutive order in another team's lineup.
The question came up after Houston Astros manager Bo Porter moved left-handed reliever Tony Sipp to the outfield Monday for one batter and then moved him back to the mound to face a left-handed hitter.
"I don't know if I'd do that," Ausmus said. "Maybe if a guy like that is the only lefty in the pen and you've got a righty coming up and then a couple lefties behind him. I don't want to say I'd never do it."
The move worked for Porter and the Astros. Sipp struck out three batters in 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief in a 4-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

He is charged with several counts of conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery, drug related offenses and aiding and abetting.
Seay offered to assist a proclaimed drug dealer identifying himself as "J.B." — actually an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation agent — with setting a money laundering business for his drug sale proceeds in Pontiac, the indictment says.
In addition to accepting various bribes between 2008 and 2009, the indictment states that Everett accepted $15,000 to assist the undercover FBI agent with the safe transport of 16 kilograms of "sham" cocaine from a Pontiac storage facility to Oakland-Pontiac airport.
Read the full indictment here: EverettSeayIndictment.pdf
Seay, a Muskegon College and Kent State University graduate, first became a Pontiac councilman in 1985 and served terms through 2009.

Time and again, Leonard Cohen dropped to his knees and serenaded the floor, as if crumpled at someone's graveside. The Canadian singer-songwriter had just the voice for the job, too. His deep baritone was as murky as a moonless midnight.
A standing ovation greeted him Sunday evening at PlayhouseSquare's Allen Theatre, where "Dance Me to the End of Love" cast a haunting spell from the get-go.
"I don't know when we're going to pass this way again, but I assure you it is our intention to give you everything we've got tonight," said Cohen, 75.
Making good on his promise, he treated 2,300 concertgoers to nearly three hours of music, with selections from every phase of his 40-year career. It felt like not only a heartfelt "thank you" to fans, but a summing-up by way of farewell, all wrapped up into one transcendent show.
Cleveland was one of the last stops on Cohen's first tour in 15 years. He abandoned the music business altogether in the '90s and spent five years in a Zen Buddhist monastery.
In the spotlight, Cohen made a dapper mystic. Nattily attired in a dark suit, he intoned poetic lyrics about love in all its guises, from down-and-dirty to divine.
The music was similarly far-reaching, incorporating everything from R&B grooves to old-world melodies. "First We Take Manhattan" even ventured into disco.
Cohen crooned "Everybody Knows" with all the gravitas of an existential Frank Sinatra. Ditto other calling-card numbers such as "Bird on the Wire," "Suzanne" and "I'm Your Man."
Cohen had a charming habit of removing his fedora to acknowledge applause, as well as the contributions of his excellent nine-piece band.
Ex-Clevelander Neil Larsen was a standout on keyboards, testifying in the middle of "Hallelujah" with a glorious Hammond B3 organ solo. Sublime vocal harmonies were provided by longtime Cohen collaborator Sharon Robinson and the Webb Sisters, Charley and Hattie, whose angelic take on "If It Be Your Will" was a knockout.
Cohen dabbled with a synthesizer for "Tower of Song" and played guitar on other tunes, including a charming "The Gypsy's Wife."
When his songs weren't quoting Scripture, they often found him taking stock in the bedroom. Amid the relentless soul-searching, a raging libido and a withering sense of humor were never far behind.
"You told me again you preferred handsome men / But for me you would make an exception," Cohen sang, pricelessly, in "Chelsea Hotel #2," a lilting tell-all detailing a tryst with Janis Joplin.
Lucky for us, Cohen proved lousy at goodbyes. He returned to the stage for three encores, before finally signing off with "I Tried to Leave You." Suffice it to say that he wasn't the only one who didn't want this particular one-night stand to end.

The James Carter Organ Trio is not really a jazz trio at all. There are three people, but that's the only rule of tradition that holds. It performs more like a quartet, or a quintet, minus one or two players, most notably a bass player. But it's the weightlessness of the bottom end that lets the trio soar.

Students will become familiar with the labels currently being used in society to refer to the different Spanish-speaking groups in the U.S. The activities afford students opportunities to hone their critical thinking skills as they analyze, compare and contrast the terms Hispanic, Latino, and others that identify Spanish-speaking immigrants.
The unit also traces the origins of those names and students learn that they were created in the United States, as opposed to being ethnic classifications used in any Latin American country. Participants will analyze literary works that deal with the complexity of Puerto Rican identity. Students read a selection of poetry by prominent Puerto Rican American writers and learn through them about the history and rich racial makeup of this Latin American island.
As students discuss issues of label classifications and self-identification, they also are exposed to the concepts of culture and race from an anthropological perspective. They make connections between one's identity and one's culture, while other activities require them to draw from their own backgrounds to participate in group and whole class discussions. Finally, students will be asked to reflect on some of these issues in writing and will be assigned projects that exhibit their understanding of the topics.
These matters are to be presented to the students according to subject and grade level. The younger the students, the more abstract this topic will be for them. From my experience, the best way to approach cultural and racial issues is by drawing from the students' own background.
(Recommended for Social Studies, Spanish, and Language Arts, grades 7-8.)

Elect responsible officials who care about fund parks and roads | Letter
The legacy of parks also includes a legacy of council failures. The council failed to fund parks and roads even though they had the capability but didn't. Evidently the council doesn't have parks and roads as a high priority even though that's what the citizens want.
It's time we held the City Council accountable for its failures. If they were responsible in meeting the needs of the city, Propositions 1 and 2 would not be necessary. There would be no need to raise taxes. We need to balance our budgets also.
As citizens expecting our council members to represent us, we should not forgive failures or condone them if they do not. There was no reason to put the propositions on the ballot. Vote no on Propositions 1 and 2 and next year elect officials that will be responsible for adequately funding parks and roads without raising taxes.
Give it another year and then see if the propositions will still be on the ballot after we elect responsible officials who care about funding parks and roads.

With so many shapes, styles, colors and patterns to choose from, they're a surefire way to add panache to any event.
"They are chameleons," said Manhattan interior designer Elaine Griffin. "You can really adapt them to suit your style, rather than being a slave to the statement they make."
When planning the decor for an outdoor event, Ms. Griffin likes to use bright, primary colors, combining shades of red, yellow and blue. However, she adds, "It's whatever floats your boat. Colorwise, it's what goes with your color scheme or theme of your event."
Ms. Griffin recommends using paper lanterns of varying sizes to add dimension to a grouping. You can vary shapes as well, as lanterns now are offered not only in traditional spheres, but squares, stars, oblong, beehive, oval and accordion shapes.
The designer said she often finds what she's looking for at Pearl River, which has a store in Manhattan (pearlriver.com).
Lanterns may be suspended at different lengths from a tree or porch ceiling, Ms. Griffin said, noting she likes to work in the extremes, either packing them very densely or loosely, with nothing in-between.
If you can't hang them overhead, she said, string them from poles to line an outdoor path or illuminate the area around a pool.
"Use them anywhere you'd use a votive candle," the designer said, noting, "They are perfect and a little more dramatic."
Dallas-based event planner Steve Kemble also likes working paper lanterns into his designs, whether for a baby shower or upscale affair.
"I think they're so festive, so cost-effective and they create such a romantic effect," said Kemble, who's been dubbed "America's Sassiest Lifestyle Guru."
One of the Texas planner's favorite places to purchase lanterns is Luna Bazaar (lunabazaar.com), which offers a variety in everything from white and round to a beehive shape with an eyelet pattern. The site also offers LED lights for the lanterns, including a triple-light version Kemble suggests for a brighter glow.
If you can't find exactly what you're looking for in the marketplace, Kemble said, create it yourself. He suggests visiting a local craft store to find items that match your theme and simply attach them using a glue gun or double-sided tape.
For a client's black-and-white party, Kemble used red lanterns for contrast and revved up the sparkle quotient by gluing on bands of rhinestones.
"Customization is something you should consider," he said. "It's what makes it different or unique, not just a paper lantern."
Beyond suspending them above an outdoor dining area, the event planner advises using twine or monofilament fishing line to string lanterns from fences and to create centerpieces. Even a single paper lantern with a battery-operated tea light inside can add drama or a festive note to a nighttime party.
Kemble said he's stacked and used a glue gun to attach several lanterns of varying sizes, from the largest to the smallest – similar to creating a snowman – and arranged them on a buffet table, for use as a centerpiece or to create columns on either side of the food display.
Another idea he's implemented is creating paper lantern "flowers." Using a wooden dowel rod spray-painted white, he attaches a lantern to the top and places it in a planter.
"They're just so great, are fun and add so much atmosphere," Kemble said. "They make people happy. When they see them, they just smile."
