Quotes & Highlights
The work will be performed in two sessions with a dinner break midway through. Information on ordering a box meal, as well as a list of alternate options, can be found at the San Francisco Performances website.
Philip Glass, composer/keyboards
Music in Twelve Parts
Michael Riesman, Music Director/Conductor
Featuring the Philip Glass Ensemble:
Lisa Bielawa, David Crowell, Dan Dryden, Stephen Erb, Jon Gibson, Michael Riesman, Mick Rossi and Andres Sterman
If a singular piece of late 20th century music can be identified as a turning point that profoundly changed music history forever after, _Music in Twelve Parts is just that work. A monumental four-hour compendium of years of Glass' experimentation and success in the late 60s and early 70s at forging a brilliant new style, it has been compared to Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier_ for its scope and ambitious redefinition of form and sound.
History may well judge Music in Twelve Parts as Philip Glass' most important work and no recording can match the live experience of its visceral power. Never before performed live on the West Coast, the work is recreated by the original 1974 cast in two sessions with a dinner break in between.

Royal watchers celebrate historic wedding
4/29/2011Prince William and Kate Middleton are now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and many in Miami and around the world were celebrating early Friday morning. The stunning, elegant, lacy white Sarah Burton gown with a low neckline that Middleton wore to Westminster Abbey stole the show. PARTY IN CORAL GABLESDozens of sobbing romantics were watching the royal wedding early Friday morning at JohnMartins bar on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables.People are crying, they are wearing hats and dresses like they are going to a wedding, said Jessica Munoz, a waitress. Overall its really cheerful out here.About 70 people dressed up as brides and grooms, kings and queens, and flower girls gathered in the wee hours of Friday morning to watch the royal wedding. The Queen Mum herself was there, or perhaps a very good lookalike. They sipped on Kir Royale cocktails and munched an English breakfast of smoked salmon crowns and butter scones.
PARTY IN SOUTH BEACHSixty people in the National Hotel Miami Beach stood up from their seats and erupted in applause and cheers as Middleton arrived in Westminster Abbey.People started arriving here at 5:45, looking classy with that Christian Dior kind of look, said Yaser Moham, hotel manager. Theyre all wearing the very frou-frou Middleton hats.The royal wedding watch party at the National began at 6 a.m. Friday.But that did not stop guests from looking their best for the event.Black hats, pink hats and white hats graced the auditorium rooms at the National Hotel.Two giant screens and three flat screens aired the event. The wedding is everywhere out here, Moham said.Guests sipped on Bloody Marys, Mimosas and champagne and ate their English breakfast of fried eggs, sausages, crispy fried bacon, browned mushrooms and black pudding as the sound of tolling bells at Buckingham palace sounded throughout the National Hotel Miami Beach.
The Associated PressIt was a moment of Cinderella magic: The future queen, emerging from a Rolls Royce in a slim ivory-and-white satin gown with a dramatic neckline, sheer lace sleeves and a train that followed her straight into fashion legend.The dress, perhaps the most closely guarded secret of the royal wedding, became an icon from the moment it was broadcast around the world as Kate Middleton appeared at the doors of Westminster Abbey to marry Prince William.Fashionistas swooned. Some people cried. "It was perfect," gushed Darcy Miller, editorial director for Martha Stewart Weddings. "She looked incredibly beautiful, classic but also modern. And what's even more important, she looked like herself."The palace went to extraordinary measures to keep the dress and its designer under wraps. It wasn't until Kate emerged from the car that it was revealed: Sarah Burton, creative director of the Alexander McQueen fashion house, was behind the long, lean gown, which hit the sweet spot between elegance and youthfulness, modesty and sensuality.For the house of McQueen, the dress was a reversal of fortune beyond anything a Madison Avenue executive might have dreamed. A little more than a year ago, McQueen killed himself, and the industry wondered whether the label could survive without its brilliant but troubled namesake.Uncounted hours of work went into the gown, fitted with a V-neck bustier and sweeping, eight-foot train in white and ivory satin gazar with a standup lace collar and long sleeves.It was topped off by an antique Cartier tiara on loan from Queen Elizabeth II and a veil of tulle. It had the nipped waist and slightly flared hips that have come to be McQueen trademarks.The ensemble was sleek and understated - particularly in comparison with the monumental gown Princess Diana wore at her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles, with its XXL puff sleeves and seemingly never-ending train. Its pared-down lines more closely recalled the simple elegance of the dress Grace Kelly wore when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956.Observers praised Kate's choice as in step with the times and predicted the dress would launch a thousand knockoffs, just as Diana's had."This will have a huge impact on the bridal industry that will last for the years to come," said Jessica Michault, online style editor at the International Herald Tribune. "You are going to have women around the world wearing dresses that look as much like this one as possible."Katherine Rabinow, a photographer from Houston who was in London for wedding day, captured the overwhelming approval among those who turned out for a glimpse of the young couple."It's a dress I'd love to see my daughter marry in - whether she was marrying a prince or not," she said.In a statement, Buckingham Palace gave an exhaustive description of the dress, from the number of tulle-swathed buttons running down the back (58) to the technique used to craft the lace - Carrickmacross, which has its origins in 1820s Ireland.So intricate was the gown's confection, the palace said, that the workers at the Royal School of Needlework who created the lace motif of flower, thistle and shamrock washed their hands every half-hour to keep the material pristine and used new needles every three hours to keep them sharp.The statement said Kate chose the McQueen brand for "the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect of traditional workmanship," and worked closely with Burton on the design.Burton called working with Kate, who became duchess of Cambridge, "the experience of a lifetime.""Catherine looked absolutely stunning today, and the team at Alexander McQueen are very proud of what we have created," Burton said in a company statement. "It was such an incredible honor to be asked."In keeping with tradition, the ensemble included "something new," a pair of oak-leaf-shaped earrings with a diamond acorn suspended in the center, given to her by her parents, and "something borrowed," the Cartier "Halo" tiara from the queen.The tiara was first purchased by the duke of York, later King George VI, for his duchess, who later became the Queen Mother Elizabeth. It was given to the current queen by her mother on the queen's 18th birthday.Despite an overwhelming public appetite for details, the palace clamped down on any potential leaks, remarkably managing to keep everything a secret until Kate alighted at the abbey.British media had tapped Burton as a top contender for the plum commission, but the designer repeatedly denied the rumors. Reports that parts of the McQueen office had been cordoned off to prevent prying eyes from getting a peek intensified the speculation.When a photo was taken outside the Middleton family's hotel of a woman, her face obscured by an oversized trapper hat and her accessories looking suspiciously like those favored by Burton, it clinched the deal for some.For the house of McQueen, the commission was a coup. Just over a year after his suicide, the brand has now been catapulted into the stratosphere of household fashion names like Chanel and Dior.McQueen had been suffering from depression and took his life in February 2010 days after the death of his mother. The suicide shook the house to its foundations, leaving industry insiders to wonder how it could go on without him. Rumors circulated that the parent Gucci Group was contemplating shuttering it.But some of those doubts were put to bed after Burton, McQueen's longtime right-hand-woman, showed her debut collection as creative director last October, a tour de force of structured, nip-waisted frocks in feathers, braided leather and what appeared to be delicate butterfly wings. With that collection, Burton proved she had what it took to step into the massive shoes of one of the world's most celebrated designers.Since the royal engagement was announced in November, the fashion world had been crossing its fingers that Burton would be tapped. McQueen is among the highest-profile British labels, and industry insiders said the commission would be a fitting tribute to the late designer's legacy.The editor of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, recommended Burton to palace officials when they queried her about the best choice to design Middleton's dress. Anna Wintour, the influential editor of the American edition of Vogue, also threw her weight behind Burton, praising the designer's "brilliance" during a recent visit to London.Burton edged out a number of other high-profile British designers with experience in wedding gowns, including Vivienne Westwood, Bruce Oldfield, Alice Temperley and Philippa Lepley.The wedding, which the British culture minister estimated would be seen by 2 billion people around the world, was cast as a showcase for British designers. Labels from outside Britain apparently did not receive serious consideration in the gown sweepstakes.Following Friday's unveiling, industry insiders were already bracing for the wave of brides, from Boston to Beijing, clamoring for knockoffs of the long-sleeved lacy style as soon as manufacturers can rush them into shops."There's absolutely no doubt that Kate's dress will be a trendsetter," said Robb Young, author of "Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians and Fashion. "It's sleek, understated, flattering, thoroughly modern and romantic, which, ultimately, I think is probably what most brides today are looking for."Even before the marriage, Kate emerged as a fashion plate, capable of launching new styles just by wearing them once. Inexpensive High Street copies of the blue dress Middleton wore for the November engagement announcement have flown off the shelves, and sapphire rings modeled on hers have challenged diamond solitaires for the title of most popular engagement rings.Burton's work reportedly caught Middleton's eye when she designed an off-the-shoulder wedding dress for Sara Buys, a fashion journalist who married Tom Parker Bowles, the son of Prince Charles' wife, Camilla, in 2005.Burton, who was raised in Manchester in northern England, joined McQueen in 1996 as an intern, working closely with the designer until his death. Unlike McQueen, whose edgy personality was well known, the 36-year-old Burton has largely shunned the limelight. She's not a player on the London nightlife scene, and even at the McQueen runway shows, she ducks out only briefly for a shy bow.Burton has dressed A-list celebrities in the past, from Oscar-winning actresses Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow to pop diva Lady Gaga."The choice of Sarah Burton shows Ms. Middleton has more spunk and independence than people suspected ... and so does that plunging neckline," said Christina Binkley, a style columnist for the Wall Street Journal. "It's going to be fun to watch these royals - not because I expect they'll be chased by scandal, but because they have a reassuring blend of class and ease and adventure. The dress is a great example of that."
SECRET WEDDING WHISPERSThe Associated PressTina Lannin, a professional lip reader who was born deaf, caught the private whispers during the royal wedding that television microphones couldn't capture.Lannin, who has worked for 7 years as a forensic lip reader for police forces and media outlets with O'Malley Communications, picked out comments from Prince William, his bride and Queen Elizabeth II in a partial transcript.

Upfronts 2014: ABC makes big moves on Tuesdays and Thursdays
For the most part, the fall schedules announced by NBC and FOX at the start of upfront week were logical and conservative, leaving major changes for midseason (and in some cases not even announcing midseason plans beyond series pick-ups). As the fourth-place broadcast network — despite having some of the bigger hits on television in "Scandal," "Modern Family" and "Grey's Anatomy" — ABC can't afford to play things so safely. So with 12 new series debuting between fall and mid-season, there are a lot of changes on the schedule.
The most prominent comes on Thursday, where "Grey's" and "Scandal" will each air an hour earlier (despite both being among the more sexually frank shows on network TV, and "Scandal" being among the more graphically violent) at 8 and 9, respectively, forming an entire night of Shonda Rhimes-produced programming, with Viola Davis as a law professor turned sleuth in "How to Get Away with Murder" at 10. We'll see if "Scandal" can launch another show, or if it — like "Lost" before it (or even "Modern Family" currently) — is the sort of thing where fans specifically tune in to watch it and do something else the moment it's done. (It will also set up a very interesting showdown in the spring between "Scandal" and "The Blacklist," which ABC is moving to the same timeslot after the Super Bowl.)
A year ago, ABC set up an all-new Tuesday schedule under the mistaken belief that "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" would be so huge — even airing opposite TV's most-watched drama in "NCIS" — that it could buoy all the shows after it. "SHIELD" has been a success, but a more modest one, and has had virtually no impact on the network's other Tuesday shows. ("Trophy Wife," "Lucky 7," "Killer Women" and "Mind Games" have all been canceled, and "The Goldbergs" is finally being sent to a more logical home on Wednesdays after "The Middle.") ABC has at least finally blinked and moved "SHIELD" to Tuesdays at 9, against the slightly less potent "NCIS:LA," but they don't seem to have learned the larger lesson, since it'll still be flanked by new shows: rookie sitcoms "Selfie" (a "Pygmalion" for the Twitter age starring Karen Gillan from "Doctor Who") and "Manhattan Love Story" (a romantic comedy) at 8 and 8:30, respectively, and new drama "Forever" (Ioan Gruffudd as a New York medical examiner who solves crimes while searching for the secret to his own immortality) at 10.
The rest of the schedule is largely intact — Mondays ("Dancing with the Stars"/"Castle"), Saturdays (college football) and Sundays ("America's Funniest Home Videos"/"Once Upon a Time"/"Resurrection"/"Revenge") return exactly as they've been of late — with only minor changes on a few other nights. (New comedy "Black-ish," with Anthony Anderson, slides in after "Modern Family" on Wednesdays, while "Cristela," starring stand-up comic Cristela Alonzo, goes to Fridays after "Last Man Standing.")
But the Tuesday and Wednesday moves are big. And though ABC hasn't announced most of its midseason moves, they've said that "Marvel's Agent Carter" (a spin-off from the first "Captain America" film following Hayley Atwell's character in the years after World War II) will be used as fill-in program for "SHIELD" during the winter, while new musical fairytale series "Galavant" will do the same for "Once Upon a Time." Between that — as opposed to this season's dumb idea to air "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" on its own, rather than to bridge the gap between "Once Upon a Time" segments — and recognizing that all new shows are doomed Thursdays at 8, and "Goldbergs" going to Wednesday (would that "Trophy Wife" could have survived to do the same), this suggests that while they didn't learn every lesson from this disastrous season, they learned at least a few.
Fienberg has the full schedule on his blog, but what does everybody else think? Is Paul Lee getting any smarter about scheduling? Should Rhimes just be running the network at this point?

The brutal death in Cairo in January 2016 of Giulio Regeni, an Italian doctoral student at Cambridge University, prompted an international letter calling for an independent enquiry that quickly gained 4600 signatures. This was formally delivered to the Egyptian Embassy in London on 22 March. The Deputy Chief of Mission, Mr Hassan Shawky, received the letter and discussed the request with a group of eight teachers and researchers from Cambridge and London universities who reflected a cross-section of the signatories.

New preprint: Hölder continuity of solutions to quasilinear hypoelliptic equations (w/ C. Imbert)
We prove that weak solutions to a quasilinear hypoelliptic equations with bounded measurable coefficients are H\"older continuous. The proof relies on classical techniques developed by De Giorgi and Moser together with the averaging lemma and regularity transfers developed in kinetic theory. The latter tool is used repeatedly: first in the proof of the local gain of integrability of sub-solutions, second in proving that the gradient with respect to the speed variable is , third, in the proof of an "hypoelliptic isoperimetric De Giorgi lemma". To get such a lemma, we develop a new method which combines the classical isoperimetric inequality on the diffusive variable with the structure of the integral curves of the first-order part of the operator. It also uses that the gradient of solutions w.r.t. v is .

Death Rattle (Official Audio - Permanence Album Trailer)
von No Devotion
No Devotion10 weitere Videos auf tape.tv
No Devotion are a Welsh/American Post-Punk and Alternative Rock supergroup formed in 2014 by former Lostprophets members Stuart Richardson, Jamie Oliver, Mike Lewis, Lee Gaze and Luke Johnson with former Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly. On 1 July 2014, the band unveiled their debut single "Stay", along with another song titled "Eyeshadow", as well as details of a short four-date tour taking place in Cardiff, Manchester, London, and Glasgow. On 6 October 2014 on the BBC 1 Radio Rockshow, Daniel P Carter premiered the band's second single "10,000 Summers", along with the b-side "Only Thing". In late 2014 drummer Luke Johnson had left the band, feeling that he would be unable to fulfil commitments to the band. The decision was made in 2014 but was not made public until January 2015, with Matt Tong from Bloc Party to record the rest of their first album, and with Phil Jenkins from Kids in Glass Houses to accompany them on tours. On 30 June, the band announced they would be releasing their first album, titled "Permanance", in September, and then released two songs titled "Death Rattle" and "Addition". On 17 August, they released the fourth single from their album titled, "Permanent Sunlight". On 29 and 30 August they played at the Reading and Leeds Festival. "Permanence" was released on September 25th. The release was supported by a European tour taking place in Germany, France and the UK. The Album has received positive reviews from fans and critics alike.zum Profil von No Devotion

Living in Michigan can be exciting. We can have every weather condition known to man happening in the State at one time.
By: chatcat , 12:53 PM GMT on May 15, 2014
The Shiawassee River is well over it's banks and the rain is still coming down. There was intermittent rain all day yesterday but the heavy showers began about 10 PM last night and lasted all night. We received an additional 1.17" total for yesterday. A flood warning is in effect for the Shiawassee River at Owosso until further notice.
Radar is showing the end of the rain approaching my area but there is still more coming from the southwest. We drove by the dam in Corunna yesterday and there was very little waterfall left . . . . just rapids. It was dry almost all summer last year with no waterfall, so that's how high the river is as compared to last year.
Right now (8:30 AM EDT), our temp is 43F and the humidity is at 89%. The pressure is 29.76 inches and falling. The dew point is 40F and visibility is 4 miles. Winds are from the west at 3 mph and we have moderate rain falling. Yesterday's high was 61F and the low was 46F.
Thursday 05/15
Cloudy with occasional rain...mainly in the morning. High 52F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. 100% chance of rain
Thursday Night 05/15
Mostly cloudy skies. Low around 35F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. 20% chance of rain.
Friday 05/16
Considerable clouds early. Some decrease in clouds later in the day. High 56F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Friday Night 05/16
Considerable clouds early. Some decrease in clouds late. Low 38F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. 20% chance of rain.
Saturday 05/17
Increasing clouds with showers arriving sometime in the afternoon. High 57F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

Backup Now!
At a Glance
Generic Company Place Holder Backup Now!
Backup Now! 5 offers the usual basics: full and incremental backup, scheduling, and a compare function. It also has a nice set of utilities that display information about your drives, network and system. Unfortunately in my testing it failed to back up some open files (files in use by the OS or other programs).
At $49.99, Backup Now! is pricey for a program with no disaster recovery. However, combined in the $59.99 Deluxe Suite with the Drive Backup imaging component that has that feature it's a much better deal. Unfortunately, Drive Backup 5 and Deluxe Suite 5 weren?'t available yet, though according to NTI they should ship in November.

Category:Night of the Long Knives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main article for this category is Night of the Long Knives.
The Night of the Long Knives was executed by the Gestapo, the Sicherheitsdienst (SD), Schutzstaffel (SS) on Adolf Hitler's orders. Its aim was to eliminate the internal opposition to Hitler's absolute authority within the Sturmabteilung (SA – the storm troopers). Several long-time enemies and other opponents were eliminated during the purge that took place between 30 June and 2 July 1934. During the purge, many of Hitler's chief opponents within the Nazi Party were put to death without trial.

Bless you

I wanna bless you
Bless you
Where are you going
My beautiful friend
Is this the road that
You take till the end
And if we left behind
Is this the highway
Of our mankind
Axes spins so round and round we go
Where we're goin' no one really knows
Here we here we here we here we go
Feel the fire
Way down below
Come on dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe
Do what you like
Gonna have a ball tonight
Let's have a ball
Down at the Globe
Come on dim the lights
Switch on the strobe
We're gonna have a ball tonight
Down at the Globe
Get up and clean your teeth and have a shave
It's 1 a. m. let's go out to a rave
One more and before we hit that grave
It's harder than a microwave wave
Come on dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe
Do what you like
Gonna have a ball tonight
Let's have a ball
Down at the Globe
(Repeat Chorus)
Where's the party officer?
(Repeat Chorus)
Here we go party time break it all down
Where is the failure
Not in this land
But still you try to
Get what you can
You know that it's bad but
If you insist
Here's one more chance now
That you just missed
(Repeat Chorus)
I believe you
I believe you
(Repeat Chorus)
Waking up the global warning way
Nepal cornflakes for my special kay
What's the halth departement got to say
Don't smoke more than 50 fags a day

In the same way that the Hubble telescope changed 400 years of thinking about the physical universe, today the infusion of intelligence into society's systems is changing the way the world literally works.
And many of the conversations heard at this week's Pulse event in Las Vegas are around how real-world infrastructure — from buildings, to water mains, to manholes, to streets — can become information systems with the help of sensors, analytics, cloud and mobile computing and other clever technologies that are at work in everything from the Louvre museum in Paris, to school campuses in Los Angeles, to cities like Rio de Janeiro.

» Unbalanced Voltages Increase Cost
Unbalanced Voltages Increase Cost
The electric 3-phase induction motor is the work horse of industry and represents a significant portion of industry's electrical utility cost. Plants with a large population of 3-phase induction motors can easily have electric utility bills in excess of several million dollars per year.
As an example of some typical numbers, assume a 24/7 operation with a total motor load of 3000 horsepower, average efficiency of 86%, average lagging power factor of 0.88 (angle of 28.4 degrees), and 10 cents per KWH would have a motor utility energy cost in excess of 2.5 million dollars per year. This cost does not even consider the utility company's "demand" charge for KW (the rate of KWH consumption) levied on motor loads of this size. A 2% savings in just the energy cost alone would generate at least $50,000 dollars a year, a nice addition to the "bottom line".
Utility companies deliver to our operational facilities 3-phase voltage systems, which we generally assume to be balanced i.e all three individual phase voltages are equal in magnitude and separated by 120 electrical degrees. Now, the fact is that 3-phase voltages are generally not balanced in magnitude upon delivery (utility companies consider 3%-5% balance in 3-phase voltage systems acceptable) and they are typically not balanced throughout an operational facility.
An often overlooked phenomenon is that unbalanced three phase voltages are responsible for adding significant additional operational motor costs. The percent voltage unbalanced is defined as 100 * (maximum deviation from average) / average. For example, in a typical 460 volt 3-phase system with actual phase voltages of 446, 472, and 450 the average is 456, the maximum deviation from average is 10 and the percent unbalance is 2.2%. A few percent unbalance does not, at first, seem like too much; however, the increase in motor operational cost is significant.
As an example, studies from the Electrical Apparatus Service Association
(EASA) show that a 2% increase in voltage unbalance for a 3-phase system can have detrimental effects on 3-phase induction motor operation. Some examples:
(a) increase in motor temperature by 20°C
(b) increase I2R copper losses by as much as 30%
(c) decrease overall efficiency by as much as 2%
(d) winding insulation life expectancy is significantly reduced; rule of thumb is for every 10°C increase in winding temperature the insulation life in halved.
Motor manufacturers can supply, upon request, detail operational specifications and typical test data on products. These examples suggest that monitoring and analyzing 3-phase motor operational conditions could lead to substantial cost savings.
Dataforth has a complete line of signal conditioning modules and data acquisition sub-systems for monitoring temperature, voltages, currents and speed (RPM via frequency) which are available for establishing 3-phase motor monitoring systems. In particular DSCA33, SCM5B33, and SCMVAS product families convert AC potentials into True RMS direct current as well as protect and isolate hazardous voltages from the data acquisition system!

very very very easy
Good one!
ok i bet on first page everyone taught the pawn will eat knight and queen checkmate king support by pawn...... besides this i dont see anything to discuss.
White's pieces are clustered menacingly around black's king but if black's king moves it would be a check! so enjoy this puzzle this is mate in 2
Maybe it's my computer, but I've tried every move possible with every piece, and apparently none of them is the right one. Would you mind posting the move sequence please? Thanks.
Boris, the pigmy peppered corydorus catfish in my aquarium solved this 'problem'.
Well there's another variation for the Nf5 move... And black takes the game by checkmate
No, you missed it, the Queen would move to H5 instead of taking with the pawn. This is checkmate, the king cannot escape the queen's check, and the pawn protects the queen.
fun puzzle & hello to Ruslion
actually the finnish was nf5+ gxf5 qh5# http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1083159
Good one.
a better puzzle would have been knight to F5, xf5,Qxh5 checkmate. Sorry if my notation is all wrong but u get the picture.
easy one
why doesnt the pawn get the knight?
the king move is not usual.
oh. got it.
with the verge of defeat white managed a win!!! amazing...

The Syracuse Orange are one of the best teams in basketball and are poised to make a deep run through the NCAA tournament.
They have the coaching, star players, depth and experience to win it all and only lost one game during the regular season. There's also that Big East tournament loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats to avenge.
Regardless, this is a program that tied with the Kentucky Wildcats for the best record in college basketball in the regular season and a reason why they are still a huge favorite to make it to at least the Final Four in this competition.
Keep reading to see what exactly must happen in order for the Orangemen to win in the 2012 NCAA tournament.

Just days after the Texas State Board of Education decided to delay a vote to approve textbooks full of revisionist history, they went ahead and voted to approve them. It was a 10-5 vote down party lines. (You can guess which party the 10 belong to.)
While some of the most egregious problems were removed from the adopted textbooks, not everything was fixed. The Texas Freedom Network points out:

- Once all tins are evenly coated and dry, spray all the tins with the Krylon Satin Bright White. Wait for the paint to completely dry.
- Take the extra large, medium and extra small tins and tape evenly spaced vertical lines all around the side of each tin.
- Cover the top and bottom of each tin used in the previous step with either tape or newspaper and spray Krylon Gum Drop around the side of each tin.
- After the paint dries, carefully remove the tape from the sides.
- Finish off with a protective coat of Krylon Matte Finish.
- Decorate with fresh or faux hydrangeas or other flowers that align with your color palette.

Sheriff issues jury duty scam warning
NEW CUMBERLAND – Area residents are being targeted through a new scam by individuals attempting to elicit funds by means of fines for failure to appear for jury duty.
Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said the sheriff's department received numerous reports of a man claiming to be with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office or with a district court claiming there was a warrant issued for residents for failure to report for jury duty. He said the man, who identified himself as an officer, told the individuals they would need to stop at a retailer and get a "voucher" to make a payment for the fine.
Fletcher said each individual was given an amount for the fine that varied by several hundred dollars. A point of concern, he added, is the caller did not tell the individuals where to make the payment, but said someone would come to their location and get them.
"No court system would notify individuals this way nor would they request payment to be made in this manner," he said. "We are urging area residents to take caution and report any calls of this nature to the authorities."
Fletcher said reports indicate the caller is targeting the older population. He said extra precautions should be taken with elderly residents who might believe the caller and be willing to leave their home with anyone with whom they are not familiar.
Detectives with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office are working with Weirton Police Detectives Division to obtain additional information.
Calls can be reported to the Hancock County Sheriff's Office at (304) 564-4100 or Weirton Police Detectives at (304) 797-8555.

Medical experts were shocked earlier this week when a new RAND study on electronic medical records found that the new technology has been much less successful in reducing health care costs than everyone originally predicted. But the RAND data tells part of the story, as another recent study published in the journal Health Affairs shows:
The relationship between a physician practice's adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and quality improvements in patient care remains unclear. However, a new study published in the January issue of Health Affairs by Weill Cornell Medical College and the Primary Care Information Project (PCIP) of the New York City Health Department shows evidence that EHR implementation can improve patient care in small physician practices in New York City when combined with sustained high-intensity technical assistance.
Using accepted benchmarks for improved quality care, the study found that when EHR was combined with training, physicians were in fact able to improve the care they offered their patients.Both studies are probably right. Improving health care outcomes is not the same thing as reducing health care costs. The trouble is that America needs both: we need better outcomes at lower costs and, so far, electronic records haven't done the job.As we argued when RAND's study was released, the lesson isn't that the use of modern IT in healthcare has failed, but that massive government programs are extremely poor at putting this technology to good use. The health care system is simply too complex to be capably run by even the most skilled bureaucrats. Regulations have unintended side effects and perverse consequences; powerful interest groups dominate the regulation writing process. And no top down administrative fiats can replace market mechanisms for providing both consumers and producers with vital information which can lead them to adopt better practices.This doesn't mean that the technology itself is useless—indeed, using IT and big data to streamline the delivery of medicine is one of the most promising avenues for decreasing the cost and improving the efficiency of healthcare. But for technology to do its job, the regulatory framework and incentive structures have to be right; currently they aren't, and this dramatically reduces our ability to make health care better and more affordable.

Salt tea
Humli people will be quick to offer you tea. This tea might not be what you are used to, since limited availability of commodities and old traditions reign. Even the hinud community of Humla might thus serve up salt tea outside Simkot (where sugar and milk powder is flown in). The salt tea might be found on a scale from refreshing and ok to right-out horrible, depending on the quality of the ingredients, especially butter. If the butter is rancid, the tea will be rancid. It is made by boiling the ingrediants in a kettle (low quality brick tea from Tibet, salt milk, water), and curned with butter in a tube-like butter/salt tea churner, then pured into your cup. The cup is often Chinese or Tibetan style delicate porcellain or wooden silver-lined tea cups with a lid. You may choose to finish it off by quickly drinking it up, but that only prompts the host to refuill your cup.
Think of salt tea/butter tea as bullion or soup; then it's an excellent rehydrator in the mountains.

Local food - grains and vegetables
You can make a porridge, pakodas, noodles, cakes, alcohol (Humlis make porridge and alcohol)
Pancakes, noodles, various dumplings, mixed flour etc. (Humlis make sour pancakes, mainly)
You can make just about anything with potatoes. (Humlis curry and fry them and boild them, too)
The best beans in Nepal are from Humla, used as dal, curried or bean soup. Major cash crop in Humla.
The ever-present moola in varieties; raw, currier, fried, pickled, dried and mashed (you can buy radishes in many parts of Humla).
You will find barley being used for tsampa mush or as alcohol mainly, but also excellent bread flour mixed.
Green leaf veggies:
As saag, anything goes, it seems. Not very refined, but a great way of making use of root crop leaves and just anything else green.
Black rice:
High altitude rice: found as far up the Karnali as Kholsi village.
Beyond rice -> this is the rice substitute in medium high altitude. Very tasty, a hint of couscous.
Amaranth: A valuable spice seed, but in Humla mainly groud as snack breads. Nice color.

Indoor lighting
Outside Simkot, which has photovoltaic lighting a few hours each evening, and a few lucky villages that have micro-hydro plants, there are no lights.
Kerosene is too far away for making it accessible, and candles are by and large absent outside Simkot. Local people use thin, dried sticks of resin-saturated core wood of pine for lighting, and stick them in the cracks of the walls, or leave them to burn on the upturned bottoms of cooking pans. It gets very sooty and is a terrible eye irritant. Interesting to experience, and it gets nice and cosy as such, but living under such conditions takes its toll on health and cleanliness.

- Hiking and Walking
Vibrant shamanism
In today's Nepal, the Humlis are probably carriers of the most vibrant shamanistic culture. The Thakuris, ancient hundu believers are themselves the propagators of shamanistic beliefs. Yet their work, customs and clothing resembles that of the local Tibetan cultures, the notion of superiority is there, but among other Nepalis from the central and southern parts their language and beliefs are considered somewhat backward in light of contemporary cultural trends. Some Humlis of aryan stock, also non-Thakuris, tend to carry turbans, and this is a remnant of the ancient pre-moslem Khas culture of Central Asia and Northern India/Pakistan.
Near and in the villages and homes of the Thakuri and fellow chhetris you will find various signs of orthodox hindu beliefs and archaic practices, such as masta shrines, animistic rites, shamanistic events, mixed up with small shrines to Shiva, Durga and other gods and godesses. For visitors it is easier to visit Lama and dalit households, who do not have these severe cultural and practical obstacles and rigid notions of ritual cleanliness lodged into their lives. Before going to Humla, it is very interesting and certainly and advantage if you familiarize yourself with these important factors of the humlis' culture(s).

- Arts and Culture
Orthodox and archaic hinduism
A good portion of the Humlis belong to roughly what in Nepal are said to be chhetri caste. This may not be entirely accepted within Humla and their notion of social stratification. They consider themselves as elevated of that. This is important to acknowledge when dealing with people, so not to inadvertently insult or ritually pollute people. Now, my patience with the caste system only reaches that far, redundant, ripe for the historical scrap heap, but still, it's the rule...
While brahmins, the pundits and priestly caste are important also here, their role in Humlis' lives seem fairly limited. They are simply very destitute. Instead it is the Thakuri people who are the real cultural and political elite as thought by themselves especially, but their peers, too. The Thakuris are the remnants of the original carriers of the Nepali language and hindu culture, forced east into the hills and mountains by moslem invaders several hundered years back. Their caste was and is considered that of khsattriya (warrior) in Nepali chhetri, but they are anthropologically since quite recently been considered as a separate people. Certainly they are of Aryan stock with aquiline noses, and carriers of archaic Nepali language and pahari culture that involves an archaic form of orthodox hinduism mixed up with significant elements of animism, ancestor-beliefs and shamanism.
