Cannes Coverage Festival Features Festival News Horror Movies Indie Interviews How ScreenAnarchy Works
Chris Marker, Filmmaker Behind LA JETÉE, Dies at 91
Marker was often referred to as a film essayist, as opposed to a dramatist. He frequently worked with other French directors, such as Agnès Varda, Costa Gavras and Godard. His work spans from the fictional to the avant garde; he mixed both tight intimacy with a cold detachment, frequently through the use of photography and voice-over narration. It includes anti-Vietnam War documentary, Loin du Vietnam, A Grin Without a Cat, about the socialist movement in France in the late 1960s, and his other most famous work from 1983, Sans Soleil, what would be termed a philisophical essay as much as a docu-fictional film. Later in life, he turned to multi-media projects for art installations, making film-poems inpired by haiku and T.S.Eliot, and exploring street art of artists such as M. Chat. As you can tell, he is a difficult artist to write about, as his work was diverse, complicated and never less than intriguing. He was also infamous for guarding his private life and rarely granting interviews, preferring to speak through his films.
Below are two videos: the first is a short excerpt from La Jetée (both it and Sans Soleil are available on a single disc from the Criterion Collection;) the second is his short film Cat Listening to Music. Also below is a link to an excerpt of a television tribute to Marker by Varda (in french, with no subtitles.)
Marker joins two other great filmmakers, Ingmar Bergman and Michaelangelo Antonioni, who also died on July 30th in previous years. Evidently, we need to watch out for our greats on this day in the future. And Marker truly was - is - one of the greats.

Kenworth's new K270 Class 6 and K360 Class 7 cabover trucks are now available for order, according to the company.
Kenworth has refreshed the medium-duty trucks with an updated exterior, dash and gauge cluster, front air disc brakes, electronic braking module, Allison six-speed transmission, push-button control shifter, and Dana rear axles.
Kenworth is targeting the vehicles to fleets in pick-up-and-delivery operations, food and beverage companies, furniture hauling, landscape businesses, and street sweeping and striping. The Kenworth cabovers offer tight turning and a shorter overall length ideal for city and neighborhood applications.
"Compared to a typical medium duty conventional, the K270 and K370 offer up to a 30 percent better curb-to-curb turning radius, a 63.4-inch BBC with an extra 45 inches of payload room, and a 35-foot overall length which is rapidly becoming the new norm in major cities," said Doug Powell, Kenworth's medium duty marketing manager.
A 6.7-liter Paccar PX-7 engine powers the trucks that provides 220 horsepower and 520 pounds-feet of torque mated to an Allison 2100HS five-speed transmission. The trucks are available with wheelbases ranging from 142 to 242 inches in 12-inch increments and can accommodate bodies from 16 to 28 feet.

Back to Cody- one more time
I came back to Cody for a week and to preach at Christ Church on Labor Day weekend thanks to the very gracious invitation of The Rev. Mary Caucutt, Rector. Mary is an outstanding preacher in her own right, a sparkplug in Cody life, and the parishioners of Christ Church are blessed to have her. Sunday afternoon Lacey and I were invited out to the Johnson's ranch for an extended family picnic with ...
A day in Yellowstone (no sign of Yogi)
... walk 2.5km on a trail around lots of miniature geysers and pools. This area was known as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It looked like the scenes in the lion king when Pride rock is barren and without food. It was such a contrast to what we had seen before. We powered through the walk as we were all so desperate for some exercise. Our next and final stop was a small hike through woodland to reach a waterfall viewpoint. It was tough but I'm so glad I ...
Day 16 - Heading to Cody for Rodeo
... wallowed in the swimming pool to cool & sooth our tired legs. We all wandered to the Rib house next door for an early dinner as we were off to the Cody night a rodeo. The Rodeo was fun, loud & typically Wyoming America. Lots of cowboys & girls of all ages showing great skill & horsemanship. We left the Rodeo late & returned to our hotel for a night cap before hitting the sack for needed ...

After the hardware store we went to the visitor center so Peg could get maps and brochures. Besides chief cook she is also tour guide. She also takes care of inside organization and it is amazing all she has equipped us with and squeezed into a 25' camper. I take care of outside camper duties and blog. Though she picks out the 10 pictures we upload, so it really is both our blog.

We succumbed to Subway for lunch (the birthday boy's wish) and then headed back to the motel (Big Bear Motel) for a swim and to bounce on the trampoline.

Here's something that I find interesting. Despite the difference in game ratings, I tend to play Sonic Unleashed a lot while I rarely put in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sonic Colors, or New Super Mario Bros (Wii and U). Actually, Sonic Unleashed is a fairly regular game for me to pick up every now and then. It might just be me, but I think the number of levels have something to do with it.
It's weird because I acknowledge that Galaxy 2 and Sonic Colors are great games, certainly better overall. However, that overall part is key. Ignoring the "Werehog" levels and sticking with the full Sonic levels, Unleashed is pretty good. I think I probably be willing to put $15 on it for just those 7-8 levels. And since I have beaten the game, I can just select from those few levels.
So what does the number of levels have to do with anything? Well, when I put in Sonic Colors to play, I have trouble remembering which levels were actually fun to play besides the first one. Like the classic Sonic games, those certain levels in Unleashed were few, distinct, and well done. Since it is more than one level, I don't see it too much trouble to put the CD in every now and then. Since there are not too many, it's easy for me to find which level I want to play. It just becomes a question of what I want to play first, which I generally do in order. Sonic Generations does the same thing, and that's great.
I find the same situation with Mario. There are a few levels we know are fun, but that one is actually a bit troublesome to go to. Super Mario World allowed you to select individual levels, but I still need to rack my brain to figure out which is which every now and then unless it's the first levels. It's the same with New Super Mario Bros
Before, I used to think the more levels the better, but now I'm starting to think we need a better balance. Perhaps, instead of focusing on making more levels, make a good few, maybe not sell the game for too much for the game and then make another good set as DLC.
What do you guys think? Do you prefer a multitude of levels for long gameplay or the small handful but excellent?

High Times
Whether chronicling the total badassness of the Miami Hurricanes football dominance during the 80s in The U or exploring the highs (ahem) and lows of our citys dubious marriage with cocaine trafficking in Cocaine Cowboys, filmmaker Billy Corben knows how to mine the depths of the Magic Citys rich and dark past. In his latest doc, Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja, Corbens time machine takes us back to the 70s, the peak of South Floridas pot-smuggling culture. Square Grouper (named for the ganja bales thrown from boats or planes into the Atlantic) delves into three stories of weed smuggling, dealing, and, well, smoking. Impressive archival footage and firsthand accounts drive each narrative: One centers on Everglades City, the small fishing village with a long, unabashed history of smuggling marijuana. Another peers deep into the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, the ganja-smoking congregation that dealt pot out of Star Island. And the third presents the notorious Black Tuna Gang, led by Robert Platshorn. Square Grouper screens at O Cinema this Thursday at 8 p.m., with other showtimes through Sunday.

Emmy voters favor fresh, complex drama series
By Randee Dawn
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Emmy for drama series is the final award of the night for a reason.
With all due respect to comedy, it truly is the kingmaker of the television industry -- just ask the folks at AMC, whose network will never be the same thanks to its back-to-back wins for "Mad Men."
But the shows that get nominated reveal a different theme each year.
This time, it's clear: A show should be young and complicated if it wants a berth in the top six. The eldest in this year's drama series lineup, "Lost," is also the only show that won't be back next year, and it's hardly old at six seasons. Not one of the other nominated drama series ("Men," "Breaking Bad," "Dexter," "True Blood" and "The Good Wife") has more than four seasons under its belt.
"After a show gets into its third or fourth year, it runs the risk of being yesterday's news," says Tim Brooks, former network executive and co-author (with Earle Marsh) of "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present." "Even if a show maintains its (quality), the chances of winning become more remote each year. Emmy moves on to the next new thing."
With two wins in the past two years, "Mad Men" has everything going for it. The last time any series had consecutive wins was "The West Wing's" four-year blowout from 2000-03, though "The Sopranos" did have two nonconsecutive wins in 2004 and 2007.
What's more, the AMC drama is beginning to field more actor nominations and its retro-Zeitgeist appeal with viewers continues to be strong. It also has the bonus of airing its new season during the judging period, which allows voters to parse the resonance of Season 3 (which they are judging) while Season 4 unspools.
"I have no idea if that gives us an advantage," says "Mad Men" creator/executive producer Matthew Weiner. "Sometimes I think we're at a disadvantage." Continued...

The news is filled with stories about the unfortunate reality of vacant properties. As just one example, office property in Phoenix Arizona now stands at a 26% vacancy rate and the news regularly features stories on homes and commercial properties that have been stripped and damaged by squatters, theives and vandals. We have also seen the devastating results of this kind of damage first hand as clients with vacant luxury homes and Class A offices have had their property stripped right down to the copper wires in the walls, pool equipment and even garage door opening systems! Homes and businesses alike are standing empty. Many owners may who purchased homeowners/dwelling or business insurance policies while the homes or businesses were occupied have incorrectly assumed they are still secure with that coverage in place now that the property is vacant. WHY ISN'T IT COVERED? Vacant or unoccupied property presents special challenges. The premium charged for occupied property does not take into consideration the increased exposure of vacant and/or unoccupied property. The insurance provided by most policies is limited, and may not respond at all if the property has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days (prior to a loss)! Many if not most insurance companies will cancel coverage immediately if they become aware of the vacancy. Even if the policy is not canceled there may be major problems in the event of a loss. The occupancy status is considered essential (material) to the insurance company. When the use and/or occupancy of a property changes many insurance companies no longer want to insure the property. WHAT THIS MEANS If you have vacant commercial property and your coverage is cancelled you would be personally labile for the following: - Accidents and Injuries on the property; -Catastrophic loss from flood or fire; -Vandalism and Theft including broken glass; -There is no coverage for freezing of a plumbing, heating, air conditioning, or automatic fire protection sprinkler system or of a household appliance caused by freezing if a structure has insufficient heat, and/or the water system has not been shut off and drained; - On a commercial building if there is 31% or less occupancy in addition to the above, ALL claims are reduced by 15%; -Depending on the policy and insurance company involved the entire policy may be void in the event of a vacancy.

By FRANCO PANIZO
HARRISON, N.J. — MLS tried time and time again to ensure that the second leg of the New York Red Bulls-D.C. United's Eastern Conference semifinals would be played on Wednesday, but mother nature refused to cooperate.
MLS was forced to postpone the Red Bulls-D.C. United game at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night due to heavy snowfall from a nor'easter covering the field and making it unplayable. Groundscrew members tried to shovel off the snow even after the original kickoff time in an effort to see the match played, but the weather made it impossible.
"Obviously, it's a difficult set of circumstances from the time that we got to the arena," said MLS executive vice president Nelson Rodriguez. "There were a lot of factors that were considered in originally making this decision to play on Wednesday. Looking at the forecast over time, at no point was it clear that there would be so much so snow and when we decided to make the effort to play, we were hoping to see that effort through.
"In the end, we did not feel we could get the field into a playable enough condition and therefore that caused the postponement."
Rodriguez admitted there was no deadline for the league to make a decision on if the match would be played but he said forecasts had the storm passing after midnight, which was too late for the match to be played.
The second leg of the Red Bulls-United series is now scheduled for Thursday at 730pm and the delay of that game will also push back the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals, which was slated to start on Saturday.
"The Eastern Conference championship leg one will move from Saturday to Sunday," said. "We decided it would be unfair for the winner of this semifinals series to have to play the winner of Houston (Dynamo)-Sporting Kansas City, having played Thursday (then) Saturday."
Rodriguez added that the original forecast was for heavy winds and rain, which contradicted Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe's comments on Tuesday. Backe said the Wednesday night match should have been postponed or moved to an earlier time because the storm was set to peak around kickoff.
Rodriguez also stated part of the reason MLS attempted to have the game on Wednesday night was because moving the game earlier proved difficult due to lack of available stadium and city workers, as well as trying to help appease local fans that were affected by the recent hurricane that ravaged the tri-county area.
"We were very mindful of what the impact of this nor'easter could be and we were also very mindful of the trauma that has been experienced by the region from Hurricane Sandy," said Rodriguez. "In the end, we felt that making an attempt to play today gave us the best chance to get this game in. Normally, had it not been for the events of last week and the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, there wouldn't have been a consideration to move the game in advance.
"We did consider that. We considered an earlier start time, we considered postponing to tomorrow (on Tuesday) and even had discussions as early as this morning. But we thought that the forecast was one that gave us a window and opportunity to play the game and play it safely and to cause the least disruption to the overall playoff schedule. Unfortunately, nature has a funny way of playing tricks on people."
The postponement of the the game should allow more fans to come out to the match, and the few hundred that turned out on Wednesday night will be able to return on Thursday. As for the approximately 700 D.C. United supporters who took buses to turn out to Red Bull Arena, they headed back to the nation's capital after the announcement of the match's postponement.
Rodriguez said they could return tomorrow via bus if they wished to do so.
"The league, and through great generosity of New York Red Bull, provided those tickets and buses to those supporters. That was in homage and recognition to having to flip-flop the order of games to begin with (because of Hurricane Sandy).
"The league has already expressed, and Red Bull has been very generous for their part as well and have expressed to D.C. United that if fans wish to return in an organized fashion through buses, we will organize that on their behalf."
Naked Animals
The tickets better have been discounted, with the weather in the East they could've just postponed.
I for one hope they let everyone in for free tomorrow because fans aren't gonna keep coming back to a team that's run this poorly. The numbers don't lie. Red Bull is running their fans out of town with an avalanche of idiotic decisions.

Chris RB looked at the weather and said this was dumb. MLS said otherwise. For all RB's fault this is #MLS
Bob L
The only thing w/ more spin than Rodriguez is my tires trying to get to and from this game.
they call it a snow, please.What a bunch of crooks from mlsa
Absolutely correct. Profits over people.

yeah man, you dont F around with people's lives during inclement weather. we are talking about a national disaster that occurred last week (smh) and the lesson was not learned.
You are indeed absolutely correct. The irony is that MLS TV ratings are so dismal that it probably makes better sense to cater to fans that actually go to games.
On a related note, RB better reward those of us that actually went. Like another $100 on the members card would be nice. One can hope.
MLS changed the game to Sunday…now in direct competition with the NFL.
More stupidity. Furthermore, the 2nd legs of the conference finals are already scheduled for Sunday Nov 8. The league might actually get lucky despite this stupid mistake, because if NY and Seattle advance, they will be hosting games that day, and the Giants and Seahawks are both on bye that week. I understand RB and NYG do not share a stadium, but people still support/attend both.
Spare me. The forecast was for a noreaster. I'll say that again: NOREASTER. As soon as they knew a huge storm (on the heels of another huge storm) was scheduled to hit Wednesday night they should have changed the kickoff.
The fact that coach Hans Backe (and even the fans!) thought this was a terrible idea shows just how poorly MLS and the Red Bulls in general are run.
Just another horrible decision in a history of horrible decisions by this franchise. But hey, good thing they got rid of Erik Soler right? Clearly he was the problem….
Bad decision after bad decision….cancel the game at 9pm?? With ppl in the stands who made the trek out in the nor'easter and had been sitting there for an hour, athletes dressed in the locker room, all concession workers/security/delivery/police/fire/EMS/camera crews/media etc there and paid for the night? You've got to be sh!tt!ng me. Red Bull has more to say about the capabilities of their stadium than the MLS does. Trust me, I helped build it. What a complete and total mismanaged fiasco that franchise is. Watch Cooper sit tonight too.
Obviously people will say the start time should have been moved up. But what about the preparation to play in the snow? It was awful! I saw far too few personnel available to shovel the field. They knew it was supposed to snow, they should have had far more people to shovel, or even better, they should've had some sort of small ride-on mower with a plow they could quickly drive around the field. If they had these, they could've kept the lines clear easier and probably could've played. It looked like they grabbed 10 people from the crowd and gave them shovels. Not nearly prepared enough.
They did grab people from the crowd and hand them shovels. All 700 of them.
go usa
They've tried mechanized removal in the past, but it rips up the soft field too much. Red Bull should have said: "Anyone who arrives at the gate with a plastic shovel gets in free and gets to watch the game from field level."
Then, every once in a while during a corner or goal kick, have the whole armada shovel across the field.
Of course, in liability land USA, this would never happen.
Talk about immediately restoring credit with your fanbase… That would be awesome…
In fact we and DC FO have offered to do just that (get several dozen of us to work in shifts and clear that pitch off) but RB would have none of it. Instead they sent out dozen interns who were too busy flipping us off to shovel snow 😀
This whole situation is yet another embarrassment for this mickey mouse league, and Rodriguez is just making it worse with his rambling. It's amazing how many of such twits that are so out of touch with fans work for MLS HQ and FOs.
Love United. Hate MLS.
You can't blame NYRB for this, the only people to blame is MLS it was there decision to go ahead with the game and there decision to call the game off, i don't know what forecast they were listing to but all the NYC new stations were calling for snow.
It might be MLS' decision in the end, but an intelligent club would have recognized a CLEAR problem and pressed hard against the league.
Red Bull looks just as bad as MLS right now. Very sad for both fan bases.
Harke's Balls
NYRB's GM did ask for the league to cancel the game in advance. As far as 'pressed hard'…difficult for anyone not there to know how hard he pressed. NY fans on the way out of the stadium:
"Died for a timeslot,
we almost died for a timeslot…"
This fiasco was 100% about trying 'grow' the sport & make NBC money by putting the game on 100m TVs by having a Saturday 4pm slot. They were more concerned about that, than about the safety of their fans. True story.
I am not aware of anyone really blaming NYRB. This was a complete clusterf^@k, but the fault was clearly with MLS. By 2:00, if not sooner, it should have been abundantly clear that the conditions would be miserable and the game almost surely unplayable. Red Bulls fans didn't bother coming. It was obvious to them there would be no game. So, the question remains why the league did this.
The spin here ignores the real reason why the league wouldn't give in to the obvious and do the responsible thing. TV time. At best, they might have been thinking about additional costs in postponing the game — but that is the typical corporate nonsense in focusing on their own expenses with no regard to what they're doing to their customers. Thankfully, there are no reports of serious physical injuries to fans who made the trip, but this cost them money even if the buses from DC were free.
Yes because no one has jobs and everyone can just take a bunch of days off. Get a clue. How can you possibly act like it's some generous offer to give fans a bus and ticket in less than 24 hours? It's total bs and it was very clear that Backe felt he would be at a disadvantage so pushed to cancel.
How is it "very clear that Backe felt he would be at a disadvantage"? How is it better for the Red Bulls to now play in what will be a very far from full capacity stadium, between it being midweek and on short notice?
His tactics would have been seriously impacted. DC plays Route 1, NYRB does not. Not rocket science.
DC plays Route 1??
Have you even watched a match this year?
Hey MM, try watching the _first leg_. Look how DC played the ball out of the back. It was 80% lofted longballs to Pajoy. They bypass midfield constantly. This is not the El Diablo DC team.
1) dc plays better in sloppy consitions. See 1st dc/nyrb game of season.
2) dc fans outnumbered ny fans. Few of the 700 will be able to return tom night
He said so. He said he didn't want to play, that the match shouldn't be played, that it would just be luck deciding who wins. Meanwhile, every DC player and Benny interviewed at least pretended to be raring to go. Bad optics. (Full credit to Tim Cahill by the way for the short sleeve attempt)
Absolutely ridiculous
I don't know why it's sad for fans at all. 700 DC supporters and the NY supporters clubs made it, but other fans could not. Frankly, I'm quite happy they postponed because now I can use my tickets for tonight's match tomorrow and still go to the game. I got on the road to drive down from Westchester county at 5pm for a trip that usually would take maybe an hour and 15 minutes. By 7pm, I had barely traveled half-an-hours distance because of the poor conditions and the traffic.
I'm confident that many more fans will be able to make it out to the match tomorrow night.
You don't see why its sad? 700 people rearranged their lives to attend a game that RBNY had no intention of playing. That's after the team and fans graciously surrendered homefield advantage to help hurricane stricken NY. We had to shuffle our lives and work to sell out a game 5 days earlier on a few days notice. All tifo was pushed to be rushed out w/in 24hrs of the match. We did it –to you're welcome NY and MLS.
We came to NY on short notice, taking off work, family commitments, etc to attend. We arrived to find an empty stadium with no grounds preparation, and dozens of stadium hands sheltering in the concourse. A couple dozen people only began lazily shoveling 30min before kickoff. Later as they walked over hour-old snowfall, green footprints were visible. DCU wanted to play, Ref Geiger wanted to play, NY didn't. That's the definition of a forfeit.
MLS pushed to play this game to preserve the upcoming Sat NBC primetime broadcast. Hacke saw the 700+ D.C. away fans at 6pm, and again before kickoff, and knew he had zero homefield advantage. They let the grounds degenerate to excuse cancelling, in the hopes of retaining an advantage tomorrow… when it will be too short of notice for d.c. fans to attend again. Thjs was a front office dive. There was no good faith effort by NY to play this game, and 700 people rearranged their lives to travel for 10 hours for the insult. Tbat disingenuous manipulative play is penalized on the field. Why not when ghe front office does it. Oh, because NYRB are money darlings of the league leadership.
We had an f ing hurricane where people lost their lives and others lost their homes or everything. People are still without power. My heart bleeds for you that's that you couldn't get a bloody tifo together.
MLS screwed the pooch on this. Nuff said. The humane thing to do would be to have canceled it ahead of time so that everyone in the region could make it and have ample time for arrangements.
Uh…do you even edit what you write. This is an MLS problem, not a Backe or RBNY problem. Backe was begging for this game to be postponed all day on TUESDAY.
If you want to be upset, be upset at the league. That field was absolutely unplayable last night and it would have been a travesty to play the game.
But thanks for the fake concern about the NY Metro area…
Amen. Oh well, here's to tonight!
Nate Dollars
this. couldn't believe they hadn't even started clearing the field until a little before the game.
nyrb didn't want to play last night, and they got what they wanted.
DC fans have no class. I dont understand what "sacrifice" they have made since they are mooching off a tragedy.
The region was just hit by a hurricane.They are estimating that the damages from the hurricane will be the second most devasting storm in postwar history. Yesterday, the region was hit again with another storm: 8 inches of snow which is causing additional problems to restore power, heat, gas, and mass transit in the area.
Its disgusting that MLS would even consider a game under these conditions. Its disgusting that DC fans are complaining about their "sacrifice" when there are a lot of people suffering.
Nate Dollars
other people being worse off doesn't preclude you from being upset at bad things happening to you. i mean, how disgusting is it that new yorkers are complaining about power outages and a few casualties when there is genocide in other countries?
and most dcu fans aren't complaining that they didn't play last night, but that mls even considered it, and then didn't make the decision until the fans were already there.
NY Giants game was sold out on Sunday.
Bryan- Giants didnt play in the middle of a major storm and the mass transit system to met life stadium is in much better conditions then to RBNY.
Nate – we are not playing a game where there is a genocide. We are talking abt the NY/NJ region that was hit by two major storms. Most of the mass transit connections that are available to go to harrison are not working. Folks will have to rely on there cars. if you watched the news there is a gas shortage in the region. Under these conditions, it does not make sense to have a soccer game when your own fans cant get to the stadium.
Secondly, if you were to read many of the DC fan posts they are complaining that the game didnt happen.
um, the Giants game was on Sunday. The DC/NY game was going to be Saturday. I'm just sayin'.
Out of curiosity, why is the metro around MetLife in much better shape? They seem pretty near each other. But I probably don't know something you do.
Harke's Balls
"Oh, because NYRB are money darlings of the league leadership."
Except that the league hated Soler & the relationship has been frosty between the board of governors & NY for a while. So, yes, DC fans got screwed, but you sound like a Birther with your anti-NY conspiracies. Leave it out, Donald Trump, it was about a time slot. MLS had league officials helping clear the snow, and even if there was 100 people doing it, it would've been bad 5 mins later. There was too much snow, too fast.
It sucks, DC was screwed, get over it. Like Dallas fans got over losing Adu. It's not like DC's never had a bone thrown it's way, yo.
Nelson Rodriguez should be fired. His comments that this decision to attempt to play was in part for those affected by hurricane sandy is laughable to the point of being offensive. It is either a lie or incompetence worthy of dismissal. If anything, it is the most risky and disrespectful thing to do to hold a sporting event at the height of a nor'easter when the region's infrastructure is still not back to normal. What a joke!
There was every indication, even by noon, that playing this match could be risky. And given everything this region has gone through and the trouble fans and employees would have getting to the stadium, the league should have postponed the match. It is a lie that they didn't have enough information. Red Bull was inundated with calls from fans who, themselves, seemed to know what the league did not… "Uhm, are they REALLY going to play this match tonight?"
And for fans, the answer was to be "yes". So thousands took a deep breath and went against warning from officials and weather stations that urged drivers to stay off roads. Why? Because they trusted in the league.
Horrible. Someone needs to be fired. The fact that Sandy happened a week ago and this was a nor'easter was enough reason to postpone. By the morning, when snow began to fall, it should have been even more of a no- brainer. By early afternoon when officials warned people to stay off the road, this game should have been called for the safety and respect for fan's time and money.
All of this could have been averted, if MLS and Red Bull had simply moved their home leg to Philly last Saturday.
In typical MickeyMouseLeague fashion, RBNY get what they want, and DC get the shaft.
This shenanigan actually works out n my favor, as I couldn't have gone last Saturday, be it in DC, Jersey, or Philly, and I also couldn't have been there tonight. Now, I'm able to travel from NC to DC to catch a bus and go.
1 bus of United supporters will always trump a full-contingent of Jersey Scum.
Nate Dollars
"All of this could have been averted, if MLS and Red Bull had simply moved their home leg to Philly last Saturday."
yep. that was always the most common-sense (if not ideal) decision, but the league will move mountains (or at least try) to accomodate their big-ticket teams.
I have to say if MLS is engaged in some big conspiracy to help NYRB, it ain't working because my team hasn't won anything in its existance. Try looking at the bigger picture. There are bigger things in the world than preserving the miniscule home field advantage that comes with playing the second leg at home.
That really never made sense — not when it was so easy to switch the dates. It has nothing to do with big money or small money. Move a game to stadium that is another hour away from the team's fans, very few of whom would have had a way to get there? A week earlier, no one anticipated the second storm. However, by Wednesday morning, it should have been abundantly clear it was a bad idea to try and go forward this.
One decision has nothing to do with the other. The first decision was fine, Yesterday's mickey mouse stuff was the opposite of fine.
This was all Red Balls fault. They didnt have blowers, they didnt do the whole field, they didnt do it with any efficiency or synchronicity. They left areas to build up so it would look good on TV. They paid money for the stadium to waste electricity and pay employees for nothing. MLS could have changed venues if they needed wed. They could have changed times. But the VP is a liar. My Weather Channel App said snow storm, 35mph gusts in NYC, a girls was for the stadium at 50mph. The coach for Red Balls said online not 10 min after leaving the stadium HE postponed because the game would just be who was "luckier". I get that. So I dont know which idiot made this decision: MLS, RBNY, a combination, or someone else, but that VP is a talking meat puppet if he thinks any of us that were at that game believe his nonsense of "no knowing". If RBNY forfeit, then the game should have gone to United. I dont know what theyre saying, but this smacks of nonsense. The truth will reaveal itself. Mind you, all of this is from someone whos frustrated, yes, but not blind. This was jackassery on many levels, and someone should be fired.
Paul Alan Levy
On the bus home, I was told by a friend who had been at the field level with a press pass that the game officials felt that the field was playable, and were ready to go ahead with the game. What I don't know was whether he heard that first hand from the officials, or second hand from a source whose reliability must be assessed.
Certainly if this report proves to be accurate, it puts a different spin on the league's decision to call the game.
The 700 fans rearranged their lives to see a soccer game. If they played on a field covered with snow it wouldn't be a soccer game. Backe is right playing the game would be a joke. If all you want is a result, just flip a coin or take a vote of those in attendance. But don't call it soccer.
BTW, the laws of the game give the final decision on whether a field is playable to the Center Ref, not to the TV networks, not to "league officials", and certainly not to team management.
Then why were the MLS the ones who seemingly postponed? A comment above said Geiger was ready to play.
Tom – if you don't think league officials had any say in the postponement of the game then you have had the wool pulled over your eyes. Did you see Nelson Rodriguez's statement?…not once in there did he say the referees are the ones who made the call. MLS made the call, not the referees.
Anyone else still wondering why MLS doesn't adopt the European calendar? Didn't think so…
And no way the game should have been played last night. Frozen pitch, frozen players, frozen ball. MLS made right decision, RBNY is the seeded team and deserves to play at home on a field that won't be mistaken for Lake Superior in February.
DC is the higher seeded team and should have played at RFK last night.
Hey Genius, DC was HIGHER seeded, not your precious red bulls….but nice try.
What does that mean? RBNY are the "seeded" team? You mean the lower-seeded team?
Good effort trying to sound so smart, when you don't appear to know the most basic facts of the situation.
FWIW, the pitch wasn't frozen, they said multiple times on the broadcast last night the ground underneath the snow was soft. The issue was getting the snow off the pitch.
Red Bulls aren't without blame here. They should have used their considerable weight with the league to push harder for an earlier postponement. But even if they tried that and failed, at the BARE MINIMUM they should have been much more responsible in their communications to fans. Everywhere- answering phones, on the website, on Twitter and Facebook- the messaage was the same: "The game is still scheduled to go on. Be safe, but we'll have extra shuttle buses from Newark Penn Station to get you here." Even after the forcast had changed midday, and even after it got BAD about 5 pm.
TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. Any decent organization would have sent this message: "The game is currently scheduled to be played. But all fans should be aware that the final decision on postponement will be made by the league and the referee depending on the condition of the pitch at kick off. The Red Bulls have made our concerns about the weather known to the league, so please be safe in making your choice to attend or not."
So yes, the brunt of blame DOES go on MLS. But the Red Bulls aren't innocent here. Putting the fans first, even while pissing off the league, would have been the right thing to do. But it's so rare this organization does that.
Here is a great piece on DC and the fans that traveled. RBNY, check it out for a well run club w/ good supporters.
I was there. It was clear the moment I saw the field it wouldn't happen. MLS looks ridiculous for trying so hard to make them play. I am sure it mostly had to do with TV contracts. In the end they look Busch League in my opinion. Should have been postponed earlier in the day.
I'm not a big fan of the Busch League. Nor, the Miller League, if I'm to be candid. I go for the Microbrew League.
KC Gunner
This was a total fiasco & once again, MLS did whatever they could to protect a media darling team (NY, LA, SEA). I really hope DC win like 4-0 tonight, just to shove it in the league's and NY's faces for all the ways DC's been screwed in this series. Jim is also right on.
Finally, RBNY: Y U NO HAZ UNDERSOIL HEAT?!?! Y U NO HAZ TARP?!?! ALL UR MONEYZ SPENT ON MARQUEZ & PAST-IT STRIKERZ???
Tarp? Yeah I'm sure it would have been easy to lift a tarp with 6 inches of wet heavy snow on it. That's a great idea.
KC Gunner
Yet they manage to figure that out in Scotland & Northern Europe…
Agree wholeheartedly with you. Really poor execution and planning by MLS.
Yeah — that's not how that should work. First, you clear the snow off the tarp, and then you roll it up. Word is they picked the tarp up at 4:30. I guess, that was because they didn't have the crews to remove the snow. Mostly, I blame the league and not the club, because I doubt this would have made a difference. Still, it's on the club that they did this.
I heard snow blowers work pretty well. They could've cleared that field in half the time.
I find it funny that people are blaming Rbny for this. If you want to blame someone then either blame the league or mother nature. Rbny didn't want to play.
I think it was the right decision to postpone. It would not have been soccer and who knows how many players end up with groin/hamstring pulls/strains.
Few people are really arguing that it was a mistake to postpone. The mistake was not making that decision hours earlier.
They are blaming NYRB because the coach openly said he didnt want the game played because it wouldn't be a soccer game, it would be a game of luck. We can play in pouring rain, unbearable heat, and freezing cold temperatures – but snow is too much?… come on man!!!! Has anybody ever watched a Bundesliga game played in the snow (happened in the last couple of weeks) before or an NFL game played in the snow – are you saying those leagues don't care about the safety of the players??? Play the game, both teams are dealing with the same conditions.
@fischy: Yes it was a mistake. But it wasn't RBNY's. It was the leagues's and NBCSN's.
@Steve: First off, what so bad with the coach trying to protect the players from injuring themselves? Second, heat, cold and water is no problem. The drainage and heating systems deal with the flooded/frozen pitches and the heat does not effect the playing surface (that much).
All those games where they played in snow, that was nice fluffy snow. It wasn't that wet slush that was coming down. You can't play in that. In Germany there has been many games cancelled with similar weather conditions.
NFL can play in any surface because, guess what, they don't let the ball touch the ground.
Play a game in snow?? Don't give me this BS of safety of players, fans, etc. Fans sit in inclement weather in a few sports already. If these players are such primadonnas that they're worried about pulled muscles, then they shouldn't be on the pitch. Get over it and play like you have some toughness. I'm sure many of you have played in horrible conditions like myself and didn't complain. Soccer is soccer no matter what the weather. MLS has lost respect for this.
Harkes' Balls
Ok, but if DC loses & Chris Pontius blows an ACL and misses the 2013 season…DC fans would've been outraged that it was played, so, it's a lose-lose. Mayor of NY told everyone to not go outside after 3pm. At the very least, you pull the plug at that point. Though, we all knew it was going to blow at 8pm Tuesday, could've called it then without hosing 9 busses of fans.
And, FYI, for all of the geniuses on the undersoil heating…it's done to keep the ground from freezing so that grass can grow in the winter. You can't flip a switch and clear 7 inches of falling snow with it.
Maybe the racoons in RFK could've cleared it faster, who knows….
What's so wrong about being worried about pulling a muscle? Since when is self preservation (and in this instance, preservation of your team's depth) is a bad thing?
I've played in snow many times and it's fun as hell, but it's different when you're talking about the pro level, especially during playoffs.
You guys act like in europe they don't cancel games due to weather. lol
Harkes' Balls
What NY should do is, if they are in the playoffs next time as a top seed over DC, offer to swap the home field advantage. Would show class.

The Year of Loki - Chapter 1 - December 31stMature
Every 2000 years, a special year long event occurs in which every God or Goddess from every mythology comes to check on the world. A janitor, Don Gideon is tasked with trying to stop the war that might destroy the planet due to his stupidity
For Donald Gideon, January could not come soon enough. He was lonely and a penniless slob. Due to this fact, he had a truck that just wouldn't start, and which countless repairs needed to be done for it to even pass inspection. His girlfriend, after seeing the wreck of the thing he called a car, left him, stating "I'm always sitting on your crushed soda cans." He always tried to clean up though. Her loss.
Various books were piled on the backseat along with the various cans his now ex-girlfriend Freya had sat her lovely ass on in the past. This pile was about two hundred and seventy five copies of "Sex and Chocolate at the Cross", his attempt at writing a Christian erotic thriller with a black woman protagonist that he tried selling to passersby with no success. It was his fifty fifth novel and it was rejected a grand total of one hundred and seventy two times.
Of those fifty five novels, all of which he sprawled like a madman over the course of ten years, none of them had been published but Don never told a soul. He was convinced he would find success publishing on Amazon.com, but his readers complained of sexism, racism and other various awful things with an ism in them that Don had to look up in a dictionary, Webster's Abridged Dictionary to be exact, which lay strewn on the headrest of the passenger seat. Don had a thing for words, but he owned the abridged version because he didn't like being wordy. A common pattern of his novels however; they contained the word erotic in almost every sentence such as "The man looked erotically at his pen." This did not prevent him from going to the local karaoke night and trying to pick up "babes" by saying "I'm an accomplished author who has written fifty five books!" He had written them after all. That made him accomplished, right?
An oil jug greeted the feet of the rarely seen passenger, and Don in good fun stated "It's a footrest!" Often this joke was met on deaf ears, or a scarce but audible chuckle was forced out of the throat of the unlucky, and often fortunate to be alive, passenger. Donald loved the ability he had to communicate. Of course, it was always the same conversation.
"Isn't the ending to the Star Wars expanded universe awful! I mean, Jacen Solo kills Mara Jade Skywalker! Han Solo's son KILLS Luke's wife!" The passenger often did not care for this question. The unfortunate soul that had no other choice, right now, a man in his sixties was too worried about dying to care about some fictional character dying when he himself could!
The old man lifted a finger. "Look at the damn road! You're going to fucking kill me!"
"Don't worry about that! I know what I'm doing." The honking of a taxicabs horn said otherwise.
"If I get out of this car alive, I swear I will kill you!" The look in the old man's green eyes glared death. Don did not notice this at all, he was too busy looking at the old man and then the road, and back to the old man. A second car nearly crashed into the passenger side but barely missed the car by half an inch, as Don sped away.
I need to get to that meeting, damn it! They're expecting me! Bastard who picked me up was the only way to get there!
Donald, on the other hand was thinking of seeing his pet turkey Dilbert, named so because his last pet turkey, Hubert died. I need to see Dilby! Damn fox killed his brother Huby! I wonder how my dog, Sherlock, is doing! NARF! He says NARF a lot and it's funny! NARF! Certainly my dear Dilby we shall see Donald today! Cheerio! Does my dog have an English accent? That'd be kickass!
A third car nearly rear ended the truck Don was driving as he pulled in. The old man burst open the car door, and rolled out. "Boy! I am going to kill you starting next year!"
Don laughed "Okay! Sure! Bye now." Of course the old man couldn't do anything. He probably wouldn't live through next year as it was. Just the same, it was New Years, and he did decide to be nice. He was a steadfast Christian and saw it as his Christian duty to do so. After all the man did say he needed a quick ride to Thompson Park, to visit old friends and neighbors.
Little did he know how much that car ride meant to his passenger, and what was about to occur in Thompson Park that night.

A local judge in Oregon has declared that the leader of armed ranchers currently occupying a national wildlife refuge are racking up expenses for the county and should foot the bill of $75,000 a day.
The group of ranchers is sitting out a protest in Malheur Wildlife Refuge for 10 days through cold temperatures and dwindling food supplies in a bid to change federal laws on land management.
The leader is Ammon Bundy, a rancher from Nevada who took it upon himself to protest against extended prison sentences of Steven and Dwight Hammond, local ranchers who set fire to federal land.
Harney County judge Steve Gratsy said at a town meeting in Burns that the ranchers are costing the community between $50,000 and $75,000 a day for the first week of their occupation.
"We're going to send Mr Bundy the bill," said Mr Gratsy to loud applause, as reported by The Guardian.
The costs reportedly include law enforcement overtime, school closures, setting up and operating a special command center, and extra supplies and food for country workers.
The Association of Oregon Counties Executive Director Mike McArthur, who is involved with providing Mr Gratsy with strategic advice and "encouragement", told The Independent: "I trust judge Gratsy as the administrator, the judge and the CEO of the county and he knows the costs involved. He can backfill what has been spent."
Mr McArthur declined to comment on whether Mr Bundy could legally be made to pay the bill or whether the rancher could afford to pay it.
The Association aims to engage the Federal government on measures to mitigate similar armed stand-offs from happening again, through "education, mitigation and implementation".
Asked if it was likely that another stand-off could in the future, as Oregon has a history of disputes between the Bureau of Land Management and ranchers, Mr McArthur said: "I hope not."
Local sheriff Dave Ward issued a statement on Monday in which said he has been dealing with other right-wing groups since Mr Bundy made a "call to arms".
"They claim to be here in peace, but we continue to see behavior by some that is concerning," he wrote.

A GANG of Asian men groomed seven young girls as "sexual commodities" for
child prostitution, trafficking and rape, a court heard today.
The exploited victims – all vulnerable girls and one aged just 13 – were
tricked by the gang into thinking they were "loved", a jury heard.
They were plied with drink, drugs and gifts then "sold or gifted" to other
Asian men who paid to have sex with them.
The girls – "in the thrall" of their abusers – were sold as sex slaves to men
including employees at three restaurants and a fish and chip shop in
Telford, Shrops, the court heard.
The alleged gang all lived within a few streets of each other in the town in a
tight-knit Asian community.
But the teenagers were also driven to hotels in Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester
to have sex with other Asian "clients".
Opening the case, prosecutor Deborah Gould said it was not the Crown's view
that the men had a specific interest in children or that this was a
paedophile ring.
She told the jury of seven women and five men the defendants would seek to
paint their victims as "anti-social, dishonest, untruthful and promiscuous
young women".
It would be alleged during the case that the girls lived "entirely selfish
lives" and could not be controlled by parents or teachers.
But the prosecutor told Stafford Crown Court: "These are myths without
"The prosecution claim these men ensnared these girls. They had cars,
jobs and money which gave them both freedom and power.
"They enticed the girls, groomed the girls and exploited them either for
their own sexual gratification or for money.
"Imagine the thrill, the perceived kudos for a teenage girl of having an
older man with a car and cash pursuing you.
"Some of the girls thought they were in love with their abusers and that
the abusers were in love with them.
"The abusers gave them gifts, encouraged confidences and gave them
attention and encouraged and enticed the girls to spend time with them and
not their family and friends.
"Through such mechanisms all of these defendants were able to engage in
various forms of sexual activity with various of the girls named in the
Miss Gould alleged: "Some went further still and treated them as sexual
commodities to be sold or gifted as they pleased."
The court was told Ahdel Ali, 23, Murbarek Ali, 28, Mohammed Ali Sultan, 24,
Tanveer Ahmed, 39, Mahroof Khan, 33, Noshad Hussain, 21, Mohammed Islam
Choudhrey, 52, Mohammed Younis, 59, and 34-year-old Abdul Rouf all live in
the Telford area – eight of them in the Wellington and Arleston areas. Six
are married and one is a grandfather.
The jury was told three of the men were said to have acted as "pimps" while
two others are alleged to have allowed their homes to be used as brothels.
Alleged ring leaders Ahdel Ali, who was known by the girls as 'Eddie', his
brother Mubarek Ali, who was known as 'Max' and Tanveer Ahmed, known as 'T',
were said to have identified and then exploited their victims.
Miss Gould told the jury that the trio had "slowly, but surely" persuaded two
of the girls by a combination of attention, gifts, encouragement, pressure
and guilt to have sexual activity with others for their benefit.
She said: "Having established that their victims were prepared to
accommodate that to please them the next logical step was to encourage them
to do it for payment."
But she said that, despite being arrested and charged, the power exercised by
the Ali brothers over one of the girls – who is now aged 17 – had not waned
and they had continued to engage with her until very recently.
Miss Gould said: "They have contacted her and were being contacted by her
through her mobile phones.
"They have continued to meet up with her. She is utterly in their thrall."
The prosecution allege that the Ali brothers had encouraged her to engage in
sexual activity with them and then to have sex with others "as a favour" to
Miss Gould said: "Finally, they sold the girl as a sexual object to
"She was acting as a child prostitute and they were controlling and
organising her activities and transporting her to different locations."
The jury was told that another defendant, Noshad Hussain, had assisted them on
one occasion.
It is alleged Tanveer Ahmed was also acting in the same way towards the girl
and – separate from the Ali brothers – was controlling her activities as a
child prostitute.
Mohammed Choudhrey was one of the girl's customers and paid for her sexual
services, the court heard. Mahroof Khan was said to have sexually assaulted
the same girl.
Abdul Rouf and Mohammed Younis, the oldest defendant, who are next door
neighbours, are said to have conspired together to facilitate child
Miss Gould told the court: "They allowed their homes in Alreston to be
used by various men to be involved in sexual activity with young girls – in
effect allowing their premises to be used as a brothel."
Another of the alleged victims, a girl who was just 15 years old, claims that
she had performed a sex act in a churchyard in Wellington, Telford, on
Mohammed Ali Sultan, who knew that she was under the age of legal consent.
The jury was told the trial was the result of a West Mercia police force
inquiry codenamed Operation Chalice.
It was launched after concerns were raised by teachers, parents and others
about sexual abuse and exploitation of teenage girls in the Wellington area.
Miss Gould told the court most people would find the alleged behaviour of the
defendants "abhorrent".
She said: "It is a sad fact of life that there are some men who have
deeply sexist views of women and treat them with no respect or dignity and
it is claimed that is the position in this case.
"It is about the ability of one person or group to exercise power and
control over another person – it is about exploitation."
She told the jury that they may not like or be impressed by the behaviour,
attitudes and morals of some of the teenage girls and their highly
promiscuous behaviour.
She said: "You are likely to be distressed, angry and disturbed by what
you hear, and despair, dislike or pity them.
"However, it is this feature of the girls that made them highly
vulnerable to the attentions of the men in the dock.
"Some of the girls suffered some form of disruption in their backgrounds
– a history of poor school attendance, poor behaviour, involvement with
social services and an extraordinary lack of self-esteem.
"So when they receive attention from somewhat exotic older males with
money and cars they soak it up, believing they are the objects of genuine
emotions and affection.
"But however street wise they may appear they lack, due to youth and
vulnerability, the ability to distinguish between abuse and affection."
She said while the defendants may be open to criticism for taking advantage of
the girls they may claim that the girls either "asked for it" or it was a
result of the girls' own immoral lifestyles and attitudes.
The prosecutor added: "The psychology of abuse, and our understanding of
it, has greatly changed in recent years."
Computers and mobile phones now offered abusers an immediate and intimate
method of communication, out of sight, sound and control of parents, the
jury was told.
She added: "Technology puts the abuser in the child's bedroom, being
carried in a rucksack or in her hand day and night, always there, always
accessible and wholly unseen.
"Some of the girls struggle to perceive themselves as victims and do not
regard what has happened to them as abnormal or wrong.
"And some victims became dependant on some of the defendants.
"That gave birth to control and that control was easy when the victim was
willing and grateful for the time, attention and gifts.
"Once control is established, domination quickly follows."
The nine defendants deny more than 50 charges relating to the alleged sexual
abuse and exploitation of the girls in the Telford area between September,
2007 and December, 2009.
The trial continues.

Spring storms across Europe and the Mediterranean Sea finally swept away a high pressure system that had been fostering increasingly dry conditions over the Horn of Africa in early 2011.
Compared to the large ozone hole that forms over Antarctica each year, Arctic ozone loss has generally been much more limited. But in 2011, Arctic ozone declined to surprisingly low levels. What did climate have to do with it?
In the mid-1980s, the winter sea ice pack in the Arctic was dominated by multi-year ice—ice that had survived at least one summer melt. Today, less than half of the sea ice at winter maximum has survived at least one summer.
An expert on climate conditions in East Africa describes the climate factors behind the 2011 drought, which has contributed to food insecurity and famine.
Each summer, the seasonal unraveling of the Arctic's blanket of ice exposes large areas of the ocean to solar heating. The smaller the ice extent, the larger the potential warming influence. Arctic sea ice extent in July 2011 was the lowest for that month in the satellite record.
Near the Earth's equator, solar heating is intense year round. Converging trade winds and abundant water vapor all combine to produce a persistent belt of daily showers known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
The ocean is the largest solar energy collector on Earth. More than 90 percent of the warming that has happened on Earth over the past 50 years has occurred in the ocean. Not all of that heating is detectable at the surface because currents move some of the heat to deeper layers of water, where it can "hide" for years or decades.
We can have record-setting blizzards and global warming at the same time. NOAA scientists explain climate variability, how it influenced our weather this winter, and how it differs from climate change.
Our ENSO blogger sits down with Ken Takahashi, an ENSO forecaster from Peru, to gab about the recent coastal El Niño and what might be coming up next.
In this activity, students examine climate variability in the North Atlantic associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NOA) in a case study format.

Review/Art; In Vienna, the Old-Time Russian Avant-Garde
By JOHN RUSSELL, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 31, 1988
VIENNA— It is almost on the sly that the best exhibition of Russian avant-garde art that has ever been allowed out of the Soviet Union has arrived here at the Museum for the Applied Arts, where it can be seen through May 15.
Drawn from 35 museums and libraries and from 20 and more private collections throughout the Soviet Union, the exhibition covers painting, sculpture, architecture, stage design, textiles, porcelain, popular prints, documentary photography and posters. It was previously shown in Budapest, where Peter Noever, the director of the Museum for the Applied Arts, was able to secure it for the Austrian capital. Though tucked away in a narrow alley around the corner from the main entrance to the museum, ''Art and Revolution'' reveals itself at once as a show of major importance.
Not so long ago, the very survival of much of the material on view was a matter for speculation. It is an exceptional adventure to see it in the West, thoughtfully catalogued and discussed in the open by qualified Soviet scholars. The paintings alone would justify the trip, including as they do such canonical pieces as ''Composition 6'' of 1913, by Vasily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall's ''Appearance of the Muse'' of 1917, ''Flowers of Universal Blossoming,'' by Pavel Filonov, stage designs by Vladimir Mayakovsky for his play ''Mysteria Bouffe,'' a big still life by the Georgian primitive painter Pirosmanashvili, and work by Kasimir Malevich that ranges from Suprematist paintings done around 1917 to the ''Red Square'' of 1925 and some figurative paintings done in 1932 and 1933. (The red square in question is a geometrical form, by the way, not an evocation of Moscow's most famous parade ground.) Some of the exhibits are of intense historical fascination. It is well known, for instance, that not long after Marc Chagall was appointed as commissar for the visual arts in his native city of Vitebsk, his life there was made impossible by the appointment to the local art school of a group of artists - among them Malevich, El Lissitzky and Vera Ermolayeva -who despised everything that Chagall stood for.
Chagall's departure from Vitebsk was hastened by the fact that when the third anniversary of the 1917 revolution came around it was they, and not he, who got to decorate the city. The Vienna show includes a ''festive decoration for Vitebsk'' by Ermolayeva - a black square flanked by two red sections from a fragmented circle - that is the very antithesis of the fun and fantasy that Chagall would have brought to the job. With this sole sheet of paper, we see what he was up against.
As is well known, the Russian avant-garde during its brief heroic phase was high on versatility. The general idea was that if you could do one thing, you could do everything. That is why we find that in the present show some of the best theater designs are not by a specialist in that field, but by the innovative architect A. A. Vesnin.
What Vesnin did for Racine's ''Phedre'' in 1922 is, in fact, a revelation - and all the more so in that not every theater enthusiast would have tracked it down to Moscow's museum for architectural history. What may not be a revelation - so closely does it conform to what would eventually become a stultifying routine - is that Vesnin's sets, though ideally suited to the claustrophobic action of Racine's tragedy, were never used.
In many of its departments, the show gives us a strong sense of the feeling, briefly but almost universally current among creative people in the Soviet Union, that in the new society literally everything was possible. The show brings a strong representation of the women - Lyubov Popova, Aleksandra Exter, Vera Rozanova, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Varvara Stepanova, Natalya Goncharova - who made such an unforgettable contribution. It also brings forward the civil engineer called Tatyana Makarova, who in 1928 patented a hyperbolic paraboloid hanging roof and saw it taken up worldwide. Nor was there seen to be anything fundamentally too ambitious about the idea of a flying city that would float freely throughout the universe.
Some of the ideas in the show are familiar to us from exhibition catalogues - above all, ''Paris-Moscow'' at the Pompidou Center in Paris in 1979 and the Costakis Collection at the Guggenheim Museum in 1981 -and some very good insights are to be found in the current show of ''The Jewish Renaissance in Russian Avant-Garde Art'' at the Jewish Museum in New York City.
But the special quality of ''Art and Revolution'' in Vienna is that it draws upon so many collections that are still off limits to the visitor from the West. Our chances of seeing the museums in Gorky, Kaluga, Krasnodar, Omsk, Oriol, Serpukhov, Ufa and Yaroslav are not bright. Yet what we would probably most want to see there has been garnered for this exhibition, and much of it comes across with a pristine quality that breeds exhilaration. (Some costume designs by V. A. and G. A. Stenberg for an operetta called ''Day and Night'' by Charles Lecoq bring, as late as 1926, a note of unashamed frivolity to what is on the whole a very serious show.) It would be nice to see this exhibition travel to New York.

Chapter Twenty-Four, Part Three: Change in the House of OakdownMature
He walks to it, wrapping his arms around its shivering frame.
The ice of compassion is melting them both now.
The Flesh reaches up with swaying loops of white doughy arms and clings wet fingers like paint to the base of his wings, clutching at shoulder muscles thickened by a few moments' clarity.
It pulls.
He lets it claw at him. He allows this, because… it is still the Doctor, albeit a small sliver of him.
The brook-babble of red-orange fluid flows between them as the Flesh rips off his wings.
He falls, and bleeds, while the Flesh spills away, up the rest of the crystal path, dragging bits behind stained with vermillion.
He imagines, as his numb-muscled, borrowed body falls limp into unconsciousness, that the same happy smile is now plastered on both their faces.

For Lily Collins, art has mimicked life.
As the star of Marti Noxon's upcoming drama, To the Bone, the 27-year-old actress is tackling a character that hits close to home. In the film, which recently debuted at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, Collins portrays a woman seeking treatment for anorexia, a battle she also faced in her personal life.
"This was definitely a more dramatic role for me. I suffered with eating disorders when I was a teenager as well," she said during an interview with IMDb Studio. "I wrote a book last year and I wrote my chapter on my experiences a week before I got Marti's script and it was like the universe kind of putting these things in my sphere to help me face, kind of dead on, a fear that I used to have and a way to explain it as someone who's gone through it and to open up a topic that is considered quite taboo with young people nowadays, male, female, and to really start a conversation."
While she shed weight for the role safely under the guidance of a nutritionist, the emotions triggered by the performance transported her right back to her past.
"It caused me to have to emotionally go there, but in a way that was the most safe, healthy way possible with a nutritionist, and really to physically go there but also emotionally and it did require a different set of emotional skills, to kind of go back in time for me, with you know, my experiences," Collins continued.
"So definitely a different type of film for me to do, very, very personal."
Personal—but freeing. The actress later took to Instagram to express the impact the public revelation had on her.
"Chilled to the bone but feeling so free. What a huge moment this is for me. Owning my past, being open, and having no shame or regrets about my experiences. Sharing my history with eating disorders and how personal this film has been is one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life," she penned on her social media account.
"Thank you for all your love and support. I'm sending all of mine right back (especially today!) and remember, you are never ever alone #Unfiltered..."
