The walls of Sant' Antonio Abate
Church in Novoli in southern Italy blaze with
holiday lights during a Mass on January 16, the
eve of the feast day of the town's patron saint.
After the service the townspeople gather at a
giant bonfire of flaming grapevines - a ritual
passed down from the 1st millennium BC, when the
Italian peninsula was a patchwork of vibrant
cultures known today as the Italic peoples. Even
as the Romans began to consolidate their power
in 4th century BC, these different groups
retained their traditions, many of which are
still visible throughout Italy
Socrates, he said, I admire the bent
of your mind towards philosophy; tell me now,
was this your own distinction between ideas in
themselves and the things which partake of them?
... I think that there are such ideas,
said Socrates. Parmenides proceeded: And
would you also make absolute ideas of the just
and the beautiful and the good, and of all that
class? Yes, he said, I should ...
And would you feel equally undecided,
Socrates, about things of which the mention may
provoke a smile? I mean such things as hair,
mud, dirt, or anything else which is vile and
paltry? ...
Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight
dead,Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep

What we have here is one part Black Metal and two parts twee Ambience. I don't know how that sits with you, but for me I'm left thoroughly unimpressed, particularly by the lack of balance. Most of the meat is served up in the first half of the album, the broth makes up the entire second half. It's up to you whether you want to dip your bread.
Lets discuss the Black Metal. First and foremost, the sodium guitars fizzing away are most welcome, the buzz of the riffs are delivered at a mid pace for the most part and such is the effervescence that it will tickle your tongue if you drink it in. Battling for prominence too are the vocals which are thoroughly in BURZUM territory and perhaps the most convincing aspect of the album. The compositions are kept simple, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, the drums are unadventurous yet when the double bass kicks in, quite effective.
Of note are tracks like �Beasts Of The Darkwoods� which captures the atmospherics of the inspirer. Here WRATH gets it right, demonstrating that elementary Black Metal has its place, (of course.) Elsewhere there is just not enough material in this vein to allow an informed opinion and, to be honest, despite the endearing qualities it's fairly run of the mill stuff. If it wasn't for the bleak despairing of the vocals I wonder whether I would listen to this album at all. I have given it a fair few spins to try and find the nuances that on other albums sink in and provide a new vista but it just hasn't happened.
In summary, the Black Metal aspects of this album demonstrate that WRATH has the potential to create anguished music that is capable of inciting you to wander out onto the wind driven moors, however it isn't present on this album.
So to the Ambient parts. My Grandma always used to say; �If you haven't got anything good to say, don't say anything at all.� (Online July 12, 2006)

Eric (X) the Survivor
Original name: Erik Knutsson
Apr. 10, 1216
King of Sweden. The third monarch of the Erican Dynasty, he was the son of King Canute I, and likely he was the tenth Eric but is not counted that way officially. Under the rule of the rival Sweartgarian Dynasty's King Sweartgar II, and when that king began to promote sons of his own, Canute's young sons, who already had been promised the throne after Sweartgar, went over to Norway and raised an army. They returned in revolt in 1205, but were defeated in battle. Three years later, however, in 1208, Eric managed to unseat Sweartgar and send him packing back to Denmark where he had come from in 1196. While intruding again into Sweden, two years after that, Sweartgar was killed in a battle near Falköping in Westrogothland, leaving Eric to rule uncontested thereafter. This only surviving son of Canute's, in all Swedish literature called "Erik som överlevde", though the epithet never has been officially established as such, had barely escaped death in the battle of 1205 where all three of his brothers fell. Eric the Survivor was the first Swedish king known to have had a coronation ceremony, which took place in Upsala in 1210. He resided, as several predecessors had, mainly at Näs Castle on the Lake Vätter island of Visingsö, and like his father, died there of illness. He had hosted a visit by Iceland's great historian, Snorri Sturluson, who recorded much of what we know about early Nordic history. Eric's wife Queen Richeza was an Estrith Dynasty princess of Denmark and a granddaughter of her earlier namesake among Swedish queens. The couple had four or five daughters, who all married well. Their only son Eric, the last Erican king, was born a few months after his father's death.

Southeastern Louisiana quarterback Bryan Bennett couldn't muster up the final bit of magic the Lions needed to overcome New Hampshire, as the Wildcats won the Football Championship Series quarterfinals matchup 20-17 Saturday night.
Bennett and Southeastern trailed most of the game before he led the Lions down the field for an 80-yard score to give them their first lead since the opening drive, when Bennett punched one in from two yards out.
But the defense that came up with big play after big play all night failed to stop New Hampshire quarterback Sean Goldrich when it mattered most, as the sophomore scored on a two-yard carry with 47 seconds left in the game.
The night ended with Bennett and the offense attempting several laterals before inevitably being brought down nowhere near the end zone.
Bennett finished the night 25-of-46 passing for 246 yards, a touchdown and an interception. On the ground, the usually prolific Bennett picked up just 29 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
Goldrich led the Wildcat offense with 375 total yards and three touchdowns on the night -- all rushing scores. Goldrich entered the game with three rushing touchdowns total all season.
One of the main reasons Southeastern was still in the game at the end was the clutch play from its special teams unit. The Lions blocked two field goals and another extra point Saturday night.
New Hampshire now moves on to the semifinals for the first time in school history, where they'll travel to No. 1 North Dakota State next weekend.

SPRINGFIELD — City police officer Eugene Dean testified Wednesday he believes the most dangerous time to be out in Springfield is between midnight and 4 a.m.
Asked if it was more dangerous to be out alone during those hours, Dean said, "I always am a firm believer in safety in numbers."
Dean was testifying in a Hampden Superior Court civil case filed by Corey Lind's parents against Domino's Pizza, seeking $15 million in damages for their son Corey Lind's 2007 death.
Lind was last seen Dec. 8, 2007, when he left the Domino's on Boston Road in the early morning hours to deliver a pizza.
Alex Morales ordered a pizza with the intent of stealing the delivery car; when Lind arrived, Morales forced him into the trunk and drove to Monson where he stabbed and strangled the 20-year-old Lind and left him to bleed to death in a field.
Morales was found guilty of first degree murder in 2009 and is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Lind's parents, Michael A. Lind and Lisa A. Bishop, were sitting in the first row of the courtroom during the testimony Wednesday.
In their lawsuit, they accuse the Michigan-based pizza chain of failing to adopt adequate safety measures to protect delivery drivers.
Kevin D. Withers, lawyer for Lind's parents, showed Dean a large blowup of a color photo of Lind's body as it was found in the field.
Lind's mother put her face in her hands and cried.
Morales had called Domino's and asked for a pizza to be delivered to 104 Arnold Ave., Dean said.
He said Arnold Avenue, as well as "other areas of the city," was dangerous for a single person making deliveries during the midnight to 4 a.m. time period.
Dean said if the police department had gotten information right away that a Domino's pizza delivery person – who had a good work history, had tips waiting for him back at Domino's, had ordered food to eat when he got back, and had been sent out to a suspicious call and never came back – a "be on the lookout" could have been issued and broadcast to area towns.
Kevin G. Kenneally, lawyer for Domino's, asked Dean to go over a statement taken from Carl Johnson, manager of the Boston Road Domino's on Dec. 9, 2007.
In that statement Johnson said Lind left to deliver the pizza to the caller "Alex" at 104 Arnold Ave., but came back and said he could not find that address.
Johnson said he got more information by phone from "Alex" as to what cross street he was near, and Lind left again to deliver the pizza.
Johnson said when Lind didn't come back he drove down Arnold Avenue looking for Lind.
He said when he saw a police cruiser at a Shell station he stopped and asked the officer if there were any reports of crashes involving a Chevy Lumina.
Johnson said he told the officer he was missing a driver. He said the officer told him there were no reports of crashes with that car.
Withers then went over Johnson's statement with Dean.
Dean said Johnson did not tell the officer at the Shell station his driver had gone out on a suspicious call where the original address did not exist and there was no specific address for the second attempt.
Johnson also did not say he expressed any concern about a crime happening to Lind when he talked to the officer, according to his statement.
Johnson had gone back to Domino's and finished paperwork, closing up at 5 a.m., depositing money, driving around some more looking for Lind, and then gone back home at about 6:39 a.m. and slept until 1:30 p.m.
Deputy Police Chief Robert McFarlin testified an investigation of Lind's disappearance began about 1:25 p.m. Dec. 8, after Lind's grandmother made a missing person report.

The Executive Officer of the Southern Tier Homebuilders and Remodelers Association is charged with grand larceny.
After allegedly stealing thousands of dollars from the organization.
Action News Reporter Caitlin Nuclo joined us from the live desk with the details of what led to the arrest.
Police say Rose Bowe allegedly purchased personal items with a credit card, and then submitted false invoices for reimbursement.
The 54-year-old, who is also known as CJ, was arrested this morning.
She is accused of stealing more than $32,000 from the organization, where she served as the Executive Officer since 2005.
The Homebuilders Associations board alerted Endicott police, which prompted the investigation.
It declined to speak with Action News on camera.
But the board did release a statement saying it has great respect for the judicial system and will let this run its course.
Bowe did not return our phone calls, or answer at her residence.
Endicott Police say they don't expect any additional charges.
Again, Bowe is facing a felony grand larceny charge.
She was arraigned in the Town of Union court and released.

DETROIT, MI -- The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has set a date for oral arguments in Michigan's landmark gay marriage case.
The Cincinnati-based court, which covers, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee, is hearing the state's appeal of a March federal court decision that struck down a voter-approved gay marriage ban.
Oral arguments in the appeal are scheduled for Aug. 6 at 1 p.m.
Aaron Lindstrom of the Michigan attorney general's office is set to argue on behalf of the state.
Carole Stanyar is scheduled to present arguments for the Hazel Park couple who sued the state because they can't jointly adopt their three children without a legal marriage in Michigan.
Each side will get 30 minutes to present arguments to a three-judge panel.
The three judges who'll make up the panel won't be named until two weeks prior to the hearing.
The court noted in the Monday order setting the hearing that the panel may choose to cancel oral arguments and issue a decision based on filed briefs.
Also filed Monday were more than two dozen amicus briefs that joined a long list of filings from organizations and individuals weighing in from both sides of the issue.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman's March decision decision in favor of plaintiffs April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse led to over 300 marriage licenses being issued to gay couples the next day.
But the appeals court soon put a hold on that ruling, leaving the new marriages in limbo.
Federal agencies are recognizing the marriages that took place, but the state is not while the appeal is pending.
A group of newlyweds filed another federal lawsuit against the state over that denial of spousal benefits, which, they argue, include health care coverage, estate-planning, hospital visitation and adoption rights.

Tell me this picture doesn't make your mouth water just a little. This gingerbread apple upside-down cake is one of my favorite new things I've baked this Christmas. It is as delicious as it looks. Moist buttermilk-gingerbread cake sweetened with honey and spices, topped with sliced apples nestled in caramel. The only thing that makes this cake better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I'm wishing I had a piece right now! My family devoured this cake in about two days. I even tried to convince my children to have ice cream cones – with sprinkles – instead, to spare one last piece for myself. No takers. One bite and they were hooked.
If you aren't convinced about how great this dessert is, wait until I tell you how easy it is to make and that it includes whole wheat. Easy ? More nutritious? Delicious? That's right. Keep reading.
This wonderful cake begins with a box of Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Gingerbread Mix. Not only does the mix give this dessert a more nutritious beginning, it makes things so much easier and faster. The perfect amount of whole-wheat flour, spices, molasses and brown sugar are already measured and need only be mixed with a few other ingredients to get things underway. Peel a few apples, make a little caramel and you will be in dessert heaven before you know it. Gingerbread apple upside-down cake here we come!
First things first: Peel, core and thinly slice (about ¼-inch wedges) three medium-sized apples. I used McIntosh apples, but any baking apple would work fine. Set the slices aside and get ready to make the caramel.
Get a small saucepan and melt a stick of butter in it. Add ½ cup dark-brown sugar and let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat for four minutes. Watch the clock closely. Four minutes is the perfect amount of time – no more, no less. Stir the caramel a few times, but not continuously. Swirl in a pinch of salt when time is up, remove from the heat and pour caramel into a greased 10-inch cake pan. I used a 10-inch square baking dish that has 2-inch sides.
Arrange as many of the apple slices as you can in a fancy pattern in the caramel before it cools.
Chop the rest of the apple and sprinkle it on top of the slices, like so.
Now for the batter: Get a large bowl and mix ½ cup butter and ½ cup sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate, medium-size bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and honey. Alternate adding the gingerbread mix and the buttermilk mixture into the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the gingerbread mix.
Pour the batter over the apples and bake for 50 minutes to one hour in a 350o F oven. When the sides of the cake start to pull away from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center, the cake is completely baked. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a rack for five minutes, then turn it out onto a platter. Scrape up any bits of apple and caramel stuck in the pan and add back to the top of the cake.
My family loved this cake best warm – either from the oven or with a quick trip through the microwave.
Delicious, more nutritious and easy. Three words that speak to my soul and make my belly happy. Give this gingerbread apple upside-down cake a try this holiday season—and don't forget the vanilla ice cream. Merry Christmas! Enjoy!
Caramel Topping
Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 10-inch cake pan. Melt butter in a small saucepan and then add brown sugar. Stir to combine and let simmer for four minutes. Stir caramel mixture occasionally, but not continuously. Swirl in salt and remove from heat. Pour into the bottom of the cake pan. Arrange apple slices on top of the caramel. Chop up any remaining apple and distribute evenly over the slices to fill in any gaps.
Mix butter and the sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk and honey. Alternate adding the gingerbread mix and the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Begin and end with the gingerbread mix.
Pour the batter into the pan over the apples. Bake at 350º F for 50 minutes to one hour or until the sides of the cake pull away slightly from the edges of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake. Let the cake cool for five minutes on a rack and then turn out onto a platter. Scrape the pan for any leftover apples and/or caramel and add back to top of the cake. Serve warm or cool with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

These are the best baked beans i have ever tasted, and that's a lot. I always end up having to "doctor" them to make them as flavorful as I would like. These even surpass homemade!
Cowboy Billys' Maple and Bacon baked beans are the smoothest tasting beans I have ever had. They have just the right amount of maple flavor without being overly sweet and the beans are not overcooked like some others. I will slice hot dogs, fry in a pan and add the beans or do the same with hamburger add a salad or vegetable and you have a quick and easy meal that even kids love...
This product has a very good flavor. I would compare this to Bush Beans.
these are very good and reasonably priced too.

Posted by Pamela Stacheit on October 25, 2005 at 06:43:33:
Over the summer; I sprayed between my five arborviteas w/Ortho's weed control. I am not sure if this is related; but apx 2-3 weeks after the areas between my plants are slowing browning and continue to dye off. Could this be from overspray or an insect of some type?
Additionally, the inner areas of the plant appear to be browning.
Please help!

AP Sports Writer
BOSTON – Kevin Garnett scored 29 points – his most all season – and added 11 rebounds Saturday night to give the Boston Celtics a 92-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Rajon Rondo had 17 assists, 13 points and 12 rebounds for his eighth career playoff triple-double. He ran the length of the court to receive the inbounds pass and dribble out the final 3.4 seconds to allow the Celtics to hang on.
Game 2 is Monday night in Boston before the series shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4.
Andre Iguodala scored 19 points and Evan Turner had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the 76ers, who advanced to the second round for the first time since 2003 by beating East No. 1 seed Chicago.
The Sixers led 77-67 with 11 minutes to play before Boston scored 23 of the next 30 points, with Rondo making a jumper to cut it to 80-79, then another with 3:37 left to give Boston the lead.
After Spencer Hawes' basket from the right endline put the Sixers up 84-83, Rondo drove to the basket and, with his path blocked, turned and handed the ball to Garnett. He banked one in and drew a foul to give Boston a two-point lead, then added another jumper.
After misses by Turner and Lou Williams, Paul Pierce hit a fall-away jumper with 78 seconds left to make it a six-point lead – the Celtics' biggest of the night.
Jrue Holliday's jumper cut it to three points, then Rondo fouled him with 3.4 seconds left and he made both shots. Boston inbounded the ball from between the benches, and Rondo sprinted into the backcourt and outran his defender to the wrong basket as time expired.
Pierce, who has a sprained MCL in his left knee, scored 14 points on 3-for-11 shooting. Rondo was only 6 for 15 from the floor, but he was 3 for 6 in the fourth quarter, adding five rebounds and four assists.
Both teams advanced by winning their first-round series in six games: Boston beat Atlanta, and Philadelphia eliminated the Bulls to become the fifth No. 8 seed to eliminate a No. 1. They got only one day off before beginning the second round in Boston, where the Celtics earned their only victory against the Sixers this year.
Philadelphia won the two games at home, including a 32-point victory March 7. None of the three regular-season meetings between the teams was close.
The Sixers scored the first seven points and led by 10 at the end of the first quarter, when Boston shot 30 percent. It was 45-32 when Boston scored 10 of the last 12 points of the half, with Rondo picking up four assists and a steal in the final 3 minutes before the break.
A little more than two minutes into the third, Avery Bradley outraced Rondo to a long rebound and took it in, splitting defenders Iguodala and Holiday for the reverse layup that made it 48-47 – Boston's first lead. Philadelphia quickly retook it and extended it to eight points.
NOTES: Garnett scored eight points on 4-for-6 shooting in the first quarter and was the only Celtics starter to make a basket in the first ... Ray Allen, who was 1 for 7 from the floor in Game 6 of the Atlanta series while struggling with bone spurs in his right ankle, was 3 for 5 in 14 minutes in the first half Saturday ... Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca ventured over to the media section to say hello to former player Brian Scalabrine, who was working for Comcast.

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Today is the deadline to get your taxes in, and many deadline inspired events are happening around the city.
At noon two different groups held events near the heart of downtown. The Northern Liberty Alliance held a rally at the Civic Center Fountain to express their belief in the free market system.
Also, Veterans for Peace held a protest at the Federal Building to oppose that $572 billion of the nation's budget is going to the 2014 Military Budget. They say on tax day we should focus on how our nation spends public money.
We have crews covering the rally, protest and people scrambling to get their taxes in by deadline. We will have more on these stories on our evening newscasts.

It is also wonderful for my management, my committees and for the people of Gauteng for whom we were finally able to bring the Cup home again. But we must stay humble and know where this thing comes from," De Klerk told the Beeld newspaper. Their 26 point victory margin was also the biggest victory margin in a Currie Cup final since the then Northern Transvaal (now Blue Bulls) smashed Western Province 39-9 in 1980.

Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise
Simply put, Robert Bradley's life is the stuff of rock and roll legend. Born the blind son of an Alabama farmer, and one of 14 children, Bradley had spent a lifetime singing in churches and on the streets of Detroit before his childhood dreams of life as a soul singer finally came true. Now 56, Bradley was in his 40s when he signed his first record deal, debuting on the RCA label with his band of white Detroit rock musicians, the Blackwater Surprise. Immediately striking a chord with fans of sweaty, heartfelt soul music, Bradley's deep, raspy voice was—and is—very much a pure representation of who he is: It bears both the sweetness of his country roots and the grit of the Detroit sidewalks where he made his living for more than a decade. It beautifully blends his loves for everyone from Chuck Willis and Otis Redding to the Rolling Stones and Fats Domino. Born in Evergreen, Alabama, the son of a homemaker and a farmer, Bradley bounced back and forth from Alabama, Detroit and California, before he became somewhat of a local celebrity as a busker at Detroit's Eastern Market in the '70s and '80s, where he strummed out hours of originals occasionally interrupted by a gospel standard or Temptations cover. As a child, he grew up listening to country and western and the local blues programs favored by his father: But the likes of Louis Jordan, Elmore James and Robert Johnson were forbidden in his grandmother's home, where he was schooled on gospel. "She had a piano, and when I was a kid, I'd go over there and play it, but that's all we were allowed to play—gospel. No boogie-woogie." At home, it was a different story: "When I was seven or eight years old, my little sisters and I used to play this game called Jukebox, where they would put a penny down on the table, and I would sit under it and sing songs by Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, Ricky Nelson, whoever was popular at the time." Before he was a teenager, and after painful experiences trying to get an education in intolerant public schools, Bradley's parents enrolled him in The Alabama School for the Blind, the meeting place of future gospel legends The Blinds Boys of Alabama. By the time he was 14, his voice began to morph into the strong, deep baritone that it is now. And not only did it help him fall in with classmates, with whom he would regularly harmonize, but it paid dividends back at home in Evergreen: "My job on the farm was to feed the chickens, and the cows and the pigs, and when my voice got stronger, I could call 'em easier." That was in 1992, and over the next few years, Bradley, Fowlkes and the Nehras built the tracks that became Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, a mix of classic soul, blues and R&B, Stax- and Stones-inspired rock music that even dipped into psychedelia. The album spawned hits with "California" and "Once Upon a Time" which scored regular rotation on MTV, its classy video featuring Robert singing the hell out of the vocal, eyes closed. Scoring tours with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers Band and on the mammoth H.O.R.D.E. festival, the band returned in 2000 with Time to Discover, featuring guest vocals from old friend and fellow Detroiter Kid Rock on two tracks, one ("Higher") used in a popular Gatorade commercial. Again unearthing some decades-old tunes Robert had stored in the back of his head but never recorded, Time to Discover was another mix of rockers and ballads, spiced with a little hip-hop and funk. In 2002, Bradley returned with New Ground, a varied set featuring everything from "Willie Lee," a fun, acoustic ode to his pot-puffing brother, to the beautiful, patriotic anthem "Born in America," which has become the theme song of the Henry Ford Museum. The next year brought the humble Still Lovin' You, a quiet, piano-based record that featured some of Bradley's finest ballad work yet. Also in 2003, Robert was prominently featured in the documentary Playing for Change, an arty film celebrating street singers and the great U.S. street-singer hubs: New Orleans, New York, Venice Beach. The next year he made his acting debut in a major film, starring as bluesman Otis McClanahan in HBO's award-winning Lackawanna Blues. For the film's soundtrack, he covered Elmore James' "Something Inside Me" and Floyd Jones' "Dark Road" and dueted with Macy Gray on "Down on Me." With the 2006 release of the two-CD live album What About That: New Year's In Bloomington, he spans his catalog with two electric sets caught before and after midnight on New Year's Eve 2005 at one of his favorite tour stops, the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana. In the four very special soundcheck recordings that end the album, he also dips into his gospel roots, delivering the new spiritual "What About the Man (Who Died on the Cross)" and an a capella version of the traditional "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," a song he used to sing with classmates at The Alabama School for the Blind. "I've always been into ballads, love songs," he says. "I've never been into shake-your-booty kind of things. I was into more religious, spiritual-type stuff. Those kind of songs, and music in general just soothes the savage beast in me. It soothes it. It takes it out. It takes out that 'Why me?' part, that 'Why did I have to be blind,' part of me. When I sing, I just get so happy that I believe I can see, that I can fly." — Wes Orshoski, NYC (March 2006)

The Michigan Wolverines open up season number 132 on Saturday against Western Michigan.
Frankly, the anticipation is killing me.
Michigan has started back to back seasons with a 5-0 record, but finished last season with just two wins in their last eight contests, including a bowl loss.
This season looks to be a bit different.
The former spread offense is replaced by the pro-style offense, the 3-3-5 defense being replaced by the 4-3 base defense, and the seniors leading the team out of the tunnel.
Michigan will live and die with their defense, as Brady Hoke made it known that his defense would be his prime focus.
Although the offense will probably not be a top five offense this year, Hoke's offense will be a much appreciated return to the power running game.
Season openers present interesting challenges for head coaches as they must decide how much of their offensive playbook they will open up.
Although nobody knows what Saturday's game will look like, this slideshow will will make four bold predictions for the Wolverines season.

The tea party's popularity has taken a hit, according to a survey released by the Pew Research Center on Wednesday.
Forty-nine percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the tea party, compared to 30 percent who have a favorable opinion, the Pew Research Center found. In June, 37 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion, while 45 percent had an unfavorable opinion.
On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced a bipartisan budget deal that he formed with Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to end the 16-day partial government shutdown.
Tea party lawmakers, for their part, argued that the government shutdown was worth it. Tea party favorites such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., rejected the bipartisan Senate deal to end the government shutdown and temporarily increase the debt limit.
Moderate and liberal Republicans in particular appear to approve of the tea party less. Twenty-seven percent of moderate and liberal Republicans had a favorable opinion of the party, compared to 46 percent in June.
And the belief that the tea party is part of the Republican Party appears to resonate more with tea party Republicans than non-tea party Republicans, at 41 percent and 27 percent, respectively.
Back in February 2010, when the tea party was not as well-known, 33 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion, compared to 25 percent who had an unfavorable opinion.
What they're saying
• From David Horsey, Editorial Cartoonist, Los Angeles Times:
At the last possible moment, the dysfunctional United States Congress voted to end the debilitating government shutdown and avoid a calamitous default on the government debt. It should have been a humiliating defeat for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and the other tea party Republicans who engineered this political debacle, but none of them are showing the slightest sign of remorse.
That raises a big question about what happens in January when another government shutdown will loom, and in February when the debt ceiling will need to be raised again. Given the tea partiers' lack of repentance for the shenanigans that cost the U.S. economy $25 billion, the most likely answer is that we will very soon be going through the same reckless, costly brinkmanship again.
• Read the full column here: Unbowed tea party Republicans could shut down government again
• From Harold Meyerson, Opinion Writer, The Washington Post:
Like the Stalinists and the Jacobins, today's tea party zealots have purified their movement -- not by executing but by driving away those Republicans who don't share their enthusiasm for wrecking their country if they can't compel the majority to embrace their notions. Today, there are fewer but "better" Republicans -- if "better" means adhering to the tea party view that a United States not adhering to tea party values deserves to be brought to a clangorous halt.
» Read the full column here: A tea party purge among the GOP
• From Peter Coy, Reporter, Bloomberg Business Week:
The Tea Party's belief that things are slipping away is misplaced. Obamacare aside, events have actually gone the movement's way ever since Republicans wrested control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 midterm elections.
Discretionary spending has been falling. Federal-employee head count is down. And since 2010, deficit reduction has been more rapid than in any three-year period since the demobilization following World War II.
» Read the full column here: Tea Party Scores Gains: Bloomberg Businessweek Opening Remarks
• From Keith Koffler, veteran White House reporter, White House Dossier:
The Tea Party is comprised of SENSIBLE PEOPLE hoping to restore some sense to the nonsense prevailing in Washington. They have come to the conclusion that, faced with a president who wants nothing but to expand government and a Congress unable to impose the thorough restructuring necessary to save the union, extraordinary measures are needed.

NEW YORK (AP) -- "Downton Abbey" drew a record-breaking audience for Sunday's much-anticipated season premiere.
PBS and WGBH-TV announced Monday that the fourth-season debut of the lush British miniseries attracted 10.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Fast National data.
This audience improves upon the viewership of the third-season premiere by 22 percent. PBS says it's the highest-rated drama premiere in network history.

One rainy day, a young man in Portland, Ore., has the feeling of splitting in half when he closes his eyes. A Portland actress feels she has to eat to be sexy—but she cannot bear to eat in front of the man she wants to be sexy for.
A 52-year-old female does not feel comfortable in life anymore.
A 34-year-old male does not feel anything toward the loss of a child.
And a 66-year-old man in Portland who likes being his age feels "a lot of ladies" would prefer if he were younger.
WeFeelFine.org, online since May, has been accumulating millions of emotions from blogs around the world since August 2005. Designed by Brooklyn artist Jonathan Harris and Bay Area Google guru Sepandar Kamvar, the WeFeelFine project searches the Net every few minutes for iterations of the ubiquitous online diary phrase "I feel." When the site finds an emotion, it records the entire sentence and then catalogs the feeling by type. If the sentence reads as a caption to a photograph, the picture is also taken in by the system. Overall, the sites uploads an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 new emotions from six continents per day.
Due to the open platform of blogs, WeFeelFine.org is able to extract a large amount of demographic information about its authors. Automatically, the site's program organizes the data it gleans into a particle system. As soon as a viewer accesses the site, a deluge of dots jitterbugs across the computer screen. The color, shape and size of each confetti-colored particle indicates what type of emotion is inside it.
A particle can be opened and explored by clicking on it—the unique feeling of an individual and a link to the blog source are thus revealed. But not all particles are proportionate. The terse, quicksilver emotions ("I feel for him," from Groningen, Belarus) skim away from the cursor, elusive. The overwrought passions loiter onscreen: "I am not eating well I am not sleeping well I'm all moody...obsession back again almost too much sheesha cheap Pakisanti food and coffee bean gawrsh it feels like the summer...yaiii..." from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
WeFeelFine.org is both an art piece and a database. Emotions are sorted by age, gender, weather, and words—from "abandoned" to "zero." If traversing the global consciousness seems labyrinthine (Where to begin? Estonia? Gambia? Bangladesh?), the site breaks down to the level of countries, states and cities.
What are the top 10 most common emotions in Portland? "Better," "good," "bad," "right," "well," "first," "comfortable," "shit[ty]," "off" and "sorry." WeFeelFine is seductive precisely because it wants to place local life in dialogue with the wider world. The people of Portland, for example, share the same top three emotions with those in Bangalore, India. Who knew?
WeFeelFine charts the emotional topography of the human race in six poetic webpages (or "movements," as co-creator Kamvar calls them) that organize data in different ways. "Our motivation for having different movements," Kamvar wrote WW via email, "was to recognize that human feelings are complex. We hoped that multiple related views would...provoke different emotional responses to the piece."
A page called "Murmurs" presents the databases' findings as a structured list of emotions. "Montage" attempts to show with pictures what emotions look like. A page called "Madness," however, is the most evolved of the movements.
An explosion of glorious scintilla, Madness visualizes a matrix where all people are interconnected. Emotional atoms ricochet against each other, painting a give-and-take sense of humanity. In the movement, all feelings—albeit disparate in kind and creation—can coexist within the same frame. Madness asks us to compare: What do millions of humans living on opposite edges of the world have in common?
A lover in Portland's sister city, Guadalajara, Mexico, contemplates a kiss. An underling in Sapporo, Japan, considers how to bury his feelings so that they are not made to serve the emperor. A 26-year-old in Haifa, Israel, holed up in a bunker, laments the nagging feeling that he's beginning to resemble David Koresh, sans guitar or weapons stash. And, a 22-year-old American soldier in Baghdad sorts out his free time—" have really nothing to do except clean my weapons and it feels great"—on a day when it was sunny.
WeFeelFine does not harvest emotions; it only creates subsets of words and symbols taken out of context from a larger database (the Web). So the site endows a type of Internet supertourism that allows users to approach the breadth of human pathos from a safe distance. Though not a practical tool to build community, like MySpace, it's a pleasant way to culturally rubberneck without guilt or contact—maybe more like a YouTube for the heartsick or lonely.
This visionary online fantasy is a representation of what we want to believe in most: That something "out there," unseen (a metaphysical force? A digital God?), is shaping the chaotic human experience into a tangible framework. This matrix may only be a metaphor of divine unity, but it's a most beautiful one at that.

A Bucks County, Pa., man was killed this afternoon when his motorcycle crashed in West Amwell.
The man, whose name is being withheld by police pending notification of next of kin, was traveling south on Queen Road about 2 p.m.
Approaching Bowne Station Road, the driver lost control as he went over a rise, West Amwell Lt. Stephen Bartzak said. The motorcycle swerved across the northbound lane and struck an embankment and a utility pole.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation continues, but police believe speed was a factor in the crash.

No longer just a playground for the rich, Aspen has evolved into a more accessible and varied destination that seeks to draw regular folks. It had no choice.
In the 1980s, Aspen was the haughty queen of North American ski resorts, with an international brand that catered to Hollywood celebs and jet setters with Euro-style skiing and nightlife. Since then, places such as Whistler, Vail and Park City, Utah, have eclipsed Aspen by luring couples, families and teens with deals, new facilities and expanding winter activities that offer a lot more to do than skiing. No wonder. Aspen Ski Co. stubbornly banned snowboarders from Aspen Mountain for a decade until then-owner Jim Crown lifted the ban in 2001.
What's new: Aspen Ski Co. spent more than $15 million in the off-season on improvements, mostly in Snowmass, including a new mountain restaurant and events center and 230 acres of new expert terrain called Burnt Mountain.
Today, all four mountains operated by the ski company -- Aspen, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk -- welcome boarders, with Buttermilk hosting the annual in-your-face extravaganza, the Winter X Games.
Aspen's comeback also has been helped by discounts and promotions. A discounted daily lift ticket that is interchangeable at all four ski areas, for instance, runs about the same price as an $87 ticket to Disneyland.
Still, Aspen is no budget vacation by any stretch. It's more affordable to stay in a condo in nearby Snowmass and cook your own meals than stay in a pricey hotel and eat out every night in town. Either way, though, Aspen is where you want to go at night to sample the bar and club scene.
My wife and I returned to Aspen last winter on a three-day getaway, skiing Ajax (the locals still call Aspen Mountain by the old nickname) and Snowmass. We stayed at the Molly Gibson Lodge in town, where you don't need a car because of Aspen2's free public bus system that also takes you to Snowmass Village and the other two resorts. Skiing, shopping, dining, nightlife -- all of it is within walking distance if you stay in town.
Aspen is a historic mining town that is much more than a winter sports mecca -- it also has a long cultural tradition of music, art and political activism. In fact, summer is Aspen's busiest season with nonstop festivals, hiking, biking, camping, river rafting, fly fishing, mountain retreats and public policy forums.
We arrived in February, our first visit in several years. While we didn't see any celebrities on this trip, there were plenty of sleek private jets parked tip to tail at the airport. On the Aspen pedestrian mall, fur coats have been replaced by fleece, which reflects the Aspen Ski Co.'s drive to go green. Aspen and Jackson Hole are the only ski resorts in the nation to receive international certification for their environmentally friendly management practices.
What makes this area stand apart from other destinations is the variety of terrain at the four mountains. Here's a summary:
Aspen Mountain
Take the town gondola to the 11,212-foot summit and ski or board nearly 3,300 feet straight back down. That's the vertical rush of this mountain, which boasts no beginner runs or bunny hills. Half the mountain is rated intermediate and the other half is advanced and expert, with deep steeps and occasional knee-grinding bumps.
The signature trail is Ruthie's Run, also called "America's downhill" because this is where the world's fastest skiers race in the World Cup competition every November. Unlike much of the rest of the mountain, Ruthie's is usually corduroy groomed so you, too, can fly down like a racer, at least until your legs give out near the bottom.
Everything is big here: more sprawling terrain than the other three mountains combined, more parks and pipes for snowboarders, more activities and programs for kids and more winter offerings that include everything from snowshoeing to hot-air ballooning to paragliding.
The mountain is a cruiser's paradise, with meandering, wide runs up to five miles long. The penultimate Snowmass cruiser is called the Big Burn, named after a wildfire that scorched hundreds of pines decades ago. After taking the lift up to the top at nearly 12,000 feet, we skied in and out of scattered trees to an open slope with panoramic views of the Rockies. There is plenty of room to move and just enough pitch for intermediate skiers and boarders to make sweeping turns without worrying about getting in over their heads.
The name suggests a warmed-over bunny hill, and indeed Buttermilk for years was a gentle learning hill for kids and beginners. Not anymore. Boarders flock to the parks, pipes and the top-to-bottom advanced terrain in the Tiehack area. The base area still has a popular open glade where ski school instructors teach beginners of all ages to board and ski.
Aspen Highlands
If you want to escape the crowds, come here. Aspen Highlands is similar to Aspen Mountain, with its narrow profile and steep terrain, but it lacks cachet because it's a day use area tucked away in a canyon with minimal amenities. Besides the low-key vibe, the chief attraction is the top-of-the-world views of the Maroon Bells, the twin 14,000-foot peaks to the west whose jagged summits are the most photographed mountains in Colorado. Though the runs are shorter than Snowmass and less steep than Ajax, the views at the top are worth the trip.

It didn't take a fast-talking car salesman to convince Congress to release more money to the Cash for Clunkers program. Even some skeptics caved in the face of unexpected numbers of people trading in old beaters for new, lower-mileage cars.
The legislation has been so wildly successful that it sold a quarter million cars -- and burned through the first $1 billion from Congress -- in just 10 days. Ford Motor Co. reported its first monthly sales increase in two years. Previously over-stocked dealers suddenly face the need for new inventory, which will grease the rusty automobile supply chain and add work to the factory floor.
Congress' assent to another $2 billion late last week will further rev Michigan's idling economy. No wonder the bill passed with solid majorities in both chambers, and was backed by every member of Michigan's congressional delegation, Republican and Democrat.
The program gives people a voucher worth $3,500 if they trade in a vehicle getting 18 miles per gallon or less for a new car getting at least 22 mpg. Vouchers of $4,500 are available for owners who trade in a passenger car getting 18 mpg or less for a model that gets at least 28 mpg. Separate but similar guidelines apply to SUVs and pickup trucks. Dealers have to destroy the high-mileage trade-ins, removing them permanently from the road.
U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Macomb County, a key co-sponsor of the legislation, wasn't far off the mark when she called the first Clunkers installment "simply the most stimulative $1 billion the federal government has spent during the entire economic downturn." Indeed as a way of spurring economic activity, Cash for Clunkers does a more effective job than bailouts for bankers or pork projects sold as stimulus.
The effects in Michigan have been more than positive. The state led the way in Clunker rebates -- totaling more than $34 million -- during the first week. A federally driven auto sales renaissance is no substitute for a genuine economic recovery, of course. But it will help until the recovery arrives. And economic indicators hint the turn-around could be coming.
Another supposed benefit of the program is less certain. Cash for Clunkers was sold as an environmental balm and a marginal solution to dependence on Mideast oil.
True, the benefits for individual consumers, especially as gas prices creep north again, could be significant. President Obama estimates participants will increase their fuel efficiency by 50 percent and reap up to $1,000 each in annual savings on gas costs.
But before environmental handshakes and backslapping go too far, consider an analysis from the Associated Press that looked at the climate benefits of Cash for Clunkers. The study showed the first $1 billion spent would have the same effect on carbon dioxide emissions as shutting down energy consumption in the entire country for. . .one hour.
With the additional $2 billion injection, the benefits will rise to the equivalent of a three-hour shut-down. In other words, this program isn't going to stop the polar ice caps from melting. In addition, the junked cars -- some in relatively good shape -- will be chewed up and spit out by metal shredders after their engines have been permanently junked. That eliminates cheaper cars from the market for recession-battered, bargain-hungry consumers.
That said, Cash for Clunkers is moving cars. For those of us in Michigan, that's reason enough to refuel.

The International Lawyers Network was founded in 1988 as a worldwide confederation of high-quality,
full-service law firms. Each International Lawyers Network member is located in an important commercial
center and is composed of lawyers with significant expertise in a broad range of subject areas,
including corporate and commercial law, securities law, taxation, commercial litigation and other forms
of dispute resolution, employment law, government contracting, intellectual property law, administrative
law and estate planning and administration.
At present, The International Lawyers Network consists of member firms in approximately 68 countries
on 6 continents. The principal strength of The International Lawyers Network, in addition to the
substantive abilities of its members, is its professional cohesion.
Many International Lawyers Network members have worked with other member firms for years, and as a
result, have built long-standing relationships. In addition, International Lawyers Network members meet
regularly, both on a worldwide and regional basis. At these meetings, and through day-to-day contact,
International Lawyers Network members exchange information, ideas and experience.
The Network is a worldwide organization of independent law firms, which have formed an association
for the professional exchange of information. The member law firms of the Network maintain complete
autonomy, exercise their professional services on an independent basis, and are not affiliated for the
joint practice of law.

Two distinctly different, but equally compelling, exhibitions remain on view at the Community Folk Art Center at 805 E. Genesee St. in Syracuse through Aug. 22.
"Organic Waterworks: Photographs by Gus Bennett Jr." and "Purple Treatment: Ceramic Works by Eunjung Shin," explore various aspects of the human condition, from the emotional and psychological scars left on the inhabitants of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, to the internal struggles we all experience as part of our daily lives.
Bennett's multi-layered digital images portray survivors of the 2005 Category 3 Hurricane Katrina, which left 80 percent of New Orleans in floodwaters. His portraits are sensitive, delicate in their revelations and effectively marry an individual with the detritus of the catastrophic event.
So much of the post-Katrina response by visual artists has been angry (justifiably) and delivered with an in-your-face attitude. While earlier images by Bennett visited that terrain, these portraits are like a whisper in your ear. In almost two-dozen images, he engages layers of debris left in the aftermath of the hurricane, watermarks on buildings and sodden vegetation to create a ghostly pall, or a quiet context, that floats behind, across and atop his subjects. Bennett juxtaposes the textures with each subject to create an open-ended narrative about their very personal experiences.
Some of the faces in Bennett's portraits can be easily read: We see defiance in the eyes of "Ira," hope in the innocent portrayals of "Monica's Daughter" and "Jayleen," skepticism in "Shaulara" and contentment in "Shayla" and "Teah and Baby Essence." Others are more difficult to decipher. The expression on "Manford," the only male subject in the show, is oblique and guarded. "Twins," actually a double image of the same woman, addresses the idea of inner strength and how important it is to call upon it during troubled times. None of these images project anger; they do suggest, however, beauty exists even within the most devastating events. We simply have to look for it.
While Bennett's digital photos represent the lives of others, Shin's figurative ceramic sculptures are outtakes from her own life. She employs low-fired earthenware as the medium for her figures and enhances, or situates them within shards of glass and purple puffs of fabric.
Her primary figure is a jester, or clown, which she uses as an intermediary to reveal her own emotions or experiences. She hides behind the matte, white figure as a clown uses the white mask and painted eyes to hide his/her true persona. The works exude a psychological darkness that Shin verifies in her artist's statement.
She writes about e-mails from her father that, she says, rescued her from a state of desperation. "Before the emails," she states, "my life had to rely on small purple pills." Shin honors her father's support in a sprawling glass and clay piece titled, "Messages From My Dad," (2009). Affixed to the gallery's west wall are almost three-dozen circular forms, some with buried text, hinting at private communications between father and daughter -- encapsulated thoughts and critical insights.
In the two-part clay and wood piece titled "Basement," Shin places two partially painted figures in wooden crates. They slouch, round shouldered within their too-small confines, exuding feelings of resignation or oppression.
The most uplifting piece in the show is the four-part, wall-mounted earthenware and mixed media work titled "Purple Treatment," (2009) -- remember Shin's purple pills. In this piece, She nestles an earthenware face, partially obstructed by a filigreed veil and hand, upon a purple pillow. The figure's eyes are closed, as if in sleep or thoughtful repose.
While Shin's work is skillfully executed and conceptually sound, she drags us through her angst and into the dark side of her psyche. Frankly, it leaves one feeling a little exhausted.

February 07, 2013Consumer Housing Sentiment Continues to Rise as Employment Concerns Wane
WASHINGTON, DC – Increasing confidence in home sales and an improved sense of job security provide further evidence of the strengthening of the housing market, according to Fannie Mae's January 2013 National Housing Survey results. Underlying the growing sense of optimism, the percentage of survey respondents who think it is a good time to sell a home continued to climb to 23 percent last month from 11 percent the same time last year. While expectations regarding personal finances stayed relatively flat last month, other housing indicators remained at or near survey highs, indicating consumers remain confident in the stability of the housing market.
"The housing market continues to firm, with consumer home price expectations for both rental and ownership properties near the strongest levels that we've seen in the survey's two-and-a-half-year history," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "Concerns about job loss are waning as payrolls are growing – a trend that may give potential homebuyers more confidence that they can meet the financial obligation of homeownership. The upward trend over the past year and a half in the share of consumers who say it's a good time to sell may reflect two related events. First, homeowners see that home prices are improving. Second, the number of homeowners who are underwater is declining, reducing a barrier for those owners who need to sell their home in order to buy a new one."
Homeownership and Renting
The Economy and Household Finances
The most detailed consumer attitudinal survey of its kind, the Fannie Mae National Housing Survey polled 1,003 Americans via live telephone interview to assess their attitudes toward owning and renting a home, home and rental price changes, homeownership distress, the economy, household finances, and overall consumer confidence. Homeowners and renters are asked more than 100 questions used to track attitudinal shifts (findings are compared to the same survey conducted monthly beginning June 2010). Fannie Mae conducts this survey and shares monthly and quarterly results so that we may help industry partners and market participants target our collective efforts to stabilize the housing market in the near-term, and provide support in the future.
For detailed findings from the January 2013 survey, as well as a podcast providing an audio synopsis of the survey results and technical notes on survey methodology and questions asked of respondents associated with each monthly indicator, please visit the Fannie Mae Monthly National Housing Survey site. Also available on the site are quarterly survey results, which provide a detailed assessment of combined data results from three monthly studies. The January 2013 Fannie Mae National Housing Survey was conducted between January 5, 2013 and January 28, 2013. Interviews were conducted by Penn Schoen Berland, in coordination with Fannie Mae.
