Fantasy football is a cruel sport. I find it to be very exciting, but it usually ends with me screaming at the television set because my player didn't get the ball four plays in a row inside the opponent's five yard line. It's funny because most of us think that our player should be the one getting the ball in all situations. I heard a story on ESPN that Maurice Jones-Drew played in a league last year and scored a touchdown in week 16 that lost him the championship because his opponent owned MJD. You think he wished he didn't get the ball in that situation? Probably not, but I thought it was a funny story.
Anyways it is week four, which mean the bye weeks start. Philadelphia, Carolina, Arizona and Atlanta are the first teams on a break and you will need to find cheap points on the waiver wire or through trades to fill in your rosters. Two pieces of advice that I have are always drop your kicker if he is on a bye week and the same goes for almost all defenses. They aren't worth keeping and you can always find decent replacements on the waiver wire. And with that, here are my starts and sits for week four.
Palmer gets an easy matchup this weekend when he takes on the Browns who have yet to record an interception. Look for Palmer to have a nice game while limiting his mistakes. Of course, Benson will get his share of points because the Browns run defense is very suspect, but I think you can expect around 250 yards and 2 touchdowns from Palmer.
Eli Manning finds himself in my column for the second week in a row, and why shouldn't he be? Last week he faced a weak Tampa Bay defense and put up two touchdowns and 161 yards. This week he faces an equally bad Kansas City Chiefs team. Look for him to have another touchdown filled day and his future schedule is full of easy matchups, (vs. OAK, @ NO, vs. ARI) so enjoy the ride.
Other Mentions: David Garrard (vs. TEN), Shaun Hill (vs. STL), Jason Campbell (vs. TB)
Flacco has been on of the top QBs this season, but we have to temper our expectations for this week as he faces a much better New England pass defense than we originally thought. The NE secondary has shut down basically every receiver thrown their way and Baltimore's combo of Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton isn't exactly tops in the league. I am starting Flacco in a league where McNabb is hurt and on a bye week and I am not feeling too great about it.
Don't be fooled by Favre's 4th quarter comeback last Sunday. There aren't going to be many games where he puts up 300+ yards because this team is run first and run often. I know he will want to torch the Green Bay Packers defense through the air, but that defense is better than most and the way the Vikings will win is by pounding the ball with Adrian Peterson. Favre might get a touchdown, but I can see him making one of those "impossible Brett Favre throws" and getting picked off a couple times.
Other Mentions: Trent Edwards (@ MIA), Kyle Orton (vs. DAL), Matt Cassell (vs. NYG)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Julius Jones has returned to fantasy relevance. Jones has had two very nice games so far and is facing a Colts defense that cannot stop the run when Bob Sanders isn't playing. (Apparently no one told the Cardinals this) They have let up 4.3 yards per carry and the only way the Seahawks are going to give themselves a chance is if they can keep the Colts offense off the field much like the Dolphins did two weeks ago. How do they do that? Feed Jones the ball often.
The second "what the eff" moment in a row. Yes I am recommending that you start Cedric Benson and if this was 2007 you would probably call for my resignation as greatest fantasy sports mind in the world. Not going to happen. It's 2009 and Jones and Benson are playing like everyday fantasy stars. Benson has been one of the more consistent RBs this season and faces a very bad Browns defense. He also is one of those rare situations where he doesn't share carries with anyone. (imagine that!) Start him with confidence.
Other Mentions: Tashard Choice (vs. DEN), Ronnie Brown (vs. BUF), Clinton Portis (vs. TB)
There is a lot of hype around Coffee this week. He looked good in the preseason and now has the starting job for a couple weeks as Frank Gore nurses a foot injury. We have already seen what Fred Jackson and Darren Sproles have done after taking over the starting job for a couple weeks. So, why not Coffee? Well I'm not ready to put him in the same company as Sproles or Jackson yet because he hasn't played one NFL game in his career. Not one. So before you go starting him in all your leagues let's see him play in real NFL action first. Is he worth a pickup? Of course! But immediate starter? I think not.
The Patriots have surrendered just one rushing touchdown this year in three games and only 16 in their last 35 regular season games. McGahee gets all of his fantasy points solely on touchdowns so I don't see how you can be confident starting him.
Other Mentions: Darren Sproles (@ PIT), Marshawn Lynch (@ MIA), Willie Parker (vs. SD)
The Titans have a great rush defense, but their pass defense is one of the best to play if you are a wide receiver. So far this season they have let up 45 catches for 632 yards and five touchdowns in just three games. Sims-Walker has emerged as the Jaguars' top wide receiver and David Garrard should look his way early and often.
It looks like Walter will finally play his first game of the season and the 2008 breakout receiver will finally give the Texans a legit #2 WR. He lucks out because teammate Andre Johnson will have to deal with the coverage of Nnamdi Asomugha. So Walter should be able to give his owners some nice production. I actually think he outperforms Johnson in this game.
Other Mentions: Jerricho Cotchery (@ NO), Devin Hester (vs. DET), Braylon Edwards (vs. CIN)
Much like Flacco and McGahee, I don't see Mason having much success against the Patriots this week. He will be matched up with Leigh Bodden and if you read my reaction to the Patriots' week three game you will find out that I think very highly of Mr. Bodden. Mason is always a candidate to score a touchdown, but I think his yardage is way down, which makes him touchdown or bust this week.
The prototypical boom or bust receiver will face a good Denver defense this week. The Broncos have been especially tough on WRs this year limiting them to just 27 catches for 317 yards and no touchdowns in three games. Hopefully you have better options on your bench because Roy Williams faces a tough matchup with Champ Bailey and the Broncos.
Other Mentions: Antonio Bryant (@ WAS), Julian Edelman (vs. BAL), Lee Evans (@ MIA)
Finley has been getting looks in the red zone from QB Aaron Rodgers, which could mean a TD connection this weekend as the Vikings defense has let up three TDs in three games to tight ends this season.
I had a gut feeling that Fasano was going to break out last week and he responded with zero catches. So much for that call, but I am going to keep recommending him because his matchups are still good and I feel like he will eventually start getting looks. I mean last season he scored seven touchdowns! Maybe it was a fluke, but this week he plays against he Bills who have let up 23 catches (most in the NFL) for 246 yards (2nd most in the NFL) and four touchdowns (most in the NFL). Something has to give right? Right?
Other Mentions: Vernon Davis (vs. STL), Dustin Keller (@ NO), Daniel Graham (vs. DAL)
The Jets defense is one of the best in the league and very hard on Shockey. I think he hits a small road bump here during his comeback season.
No Matt Hasselbeck and he's facing a Colts defense that has only let up seven catches for 44 yards to tight ends this season. I'll pass.
Other Mentions: Zach Miller (@ HOU), Ben Watson (vs. BAL), Brandon Pettigrew (vs. CHI)
For those of you with the Eagles defense you should look here to fill the void for a week. The 49ers get to face a Rams offense that is starting Kyle Boller. Yep, you heard right. This is the same Kyle Boller who has 45 career interceptions compared to 47 touchdowns. He is also the same Kyle Boller who's top receiver this week has amassed a total of one fantasy point this year. Yikes.
Cincinnati's defense has emerged as one of the better fantasy plays this year. They are somewhat susceptible to the run, but with the Brown not having any great RBs the Bengals should be a nice play this week. Cleveland's QB situation is chaotic and the Bengals should be able to force a couple turnovers.
The Jets have been great so far, but the Saints offense is too explosive for my liking. This is one of those situations where you probably are starting the Jets defense and are praying for a special teams touchdown to save your day.
The Broncos have benefitted from a cupcake schedule so far. Cincinnati turned out to be legit this year, but Cleveland and Oakland are pathetic teams. The Broncos will get their first real test against the Cowboys who have the best rushing offense in the league. I don't trust them to stop Marion Barber and Tashard Choice behind that massive offensive line.

Best Turret Press
That depends on what your goal is. Are you wanting to load more rounds per hour? Are you just looking to not have to change die? Are you going to batch load or load a round complete then move on to the next?
If you want to load more per hour and load a complete round and not batch load then the Lee classic turret is hard to beat. The classic turret is the only turret that auto indexes. The spent primers go through a hollow ram into a tube and keeps them from making a mess. The safety prime works very good. I can load around 200 rounds per hour on mine. I have had it five years and have had no problems.
If you are going to batch load them any of the turret presses should work fine.
Go with Blue
I use a Dillion 550B for all of my reloading and have done so with great satisfaction for 25 years or so. I reload 45ACP, 45LC, 44WCF, 38WCF and 38spl. Changing the set up for a different caliber is quick and easy, and Dillion's customer support is world famous.. I have had little break, and when it did, a call to Dillion brought the the parts to my door no charge. Dillion machines have a lifetime, no BS warranty, the applies if you are the first or tenth owner. They fix or replace with no "discussion."
If you only need/want to reload one caliber, then you might consider the Square Deal "B." A few less bucks. Both machines are great value for the dollar.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a Vet!
I am prejudice since I have just completed acquiring the Lee Classic Turret system over the past few months. Last November I couldn't even visualize how it worked, since I have had a CH Champion single stage since the early 70's.
I have now acquired not only the press, the Pro Auto Disk powder measure, the Safety Prime but also the Lee 4 die sets for 9mm, 38/357, 41mag, 45ACP, and 45 Colt.
Once I started using the equipment I saw that not using it with the auto index would be like buying an HD TV and turning the color off.
I therefore forced myself to quit batch processing. I now toss my empty cases in the tumbler for an hour or two. I then empty my brass right to my bench and feed them through the system. Four strokes and you have a completed round to put back in the 100 round plastic box that has my label on it with room to show specifics on six reloads.
Everything works slick as a whistle. Both the Pro Auto Disk and the Safety prime are the best I have ever used. Strangely, I can feel the primers being seated much better than I can using the Lee hand primer. Plus, the press doesn't activate the arthuritus in my hands.
I like it.

I have the Lyman T-Mag II, and am very pleased with it. For me, it gives me the balance between speed and safety - I prefer to perform each stage myself vs. a progressive, but don't have to swap out dies like a single stage press.
The Lyman and Redding presses are both cast iron vs. the Lee, which I believe is aluminum. This is not to knock the Lee press - many are very satisfied with it, but I prefer the cast construction.
The Redding is as well, or better built than the Lyman, has a few more turret holes if I recall, but costs more.
I'm in the market for a yard-sale single stage to do rifle & decapping, but haven't found it yet.
For what purpose?
Myself I'd be inclined to suggest the Redding T7 for what most people expect from a turret - that is batch processing without swapping dies but not sequential processing by turning the turret.
The Redding with compound linkage and ample clearance will handle all the usual single stage jobs. Celebrity users (not explicit compensated endorsement but avowed users) include Mike - Duke - Venturino and John Barsness (who I'm sure was compensated for the advanced reloading DVD and such but equally I'm sure uses what he wants). I like having stations available for the Redding quick indicator using a die with a dial indicator for headspace/shoulder setback adjustment and OAL with seated bullets adjustment so that I have both the loading dies and the gage handy. Equally handy for push through sizing with guppy Glock .40S&W brass and so it goes.
Can't argue with Lee for the usual Lee economy and semi-automation but see above for jobs that really need the beef or maybe assured accuracy.
Then too I've had a Hollywood Universal Turret I bought because Elmer Keith featured it as the best - that was in the days when the 4 position turret for priming punches was meaningful because some primers were domed and some were flat and all the rest. I've also got a combo head 7/8-14 and 1-1/2 - nothing to touch it for real versatility and doing everything anybody would ever want to do on one press at one bench position. It might be the best for some purposes but a silly thing to buy these days.
Again for many purposes a jump to a progressive with a case feeder will pay off quickly and I've got one of those too but it doesn't do the same jobs as the turret.
Proverbs 14:34 *¶Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Another highly satisfied user of the Lee Classic 4-hole turret. Auto-advance is great and does reduce the possibility of a double charge of powder. I get 150-175 rounds per hour output at a very relaxed pace.
Quality at an affordable price that fits MY ammo and budget needs perfectly.
IMHO nobody out there is making 'junk', and all the gear suppliers can meet a person's needs and budget with quality hardware..
Several firearms in .22LR, .380ACP, 9mm, 7.62x25, 7.62 Nagant, .38/.357, 7.62x54R, .45ACP and .223. Lee reloading gear.
Another Lyman T-Mag II user. Great press. I've been very happy with mine.

Accuracy Impaired Yet, Ballistically Challenged.
The Lee Classic Turret Press is awesome. It's their best and most successful design and it's made very tough. You can easily push out 200 round per hour, more actually. Switching calibers is a breeze, everything is a breeze with this press. I started out on a single stage RCBS and when I switched over to the Lee Classic Turret I never looked back. I call it a semi-progressive if that makes any sense? Definitely get the Pro AutoDisk Powder Measure. I hand prime all my brass and don't use the safety prime but to each his own. That's why I can belt out 300 per hour, but that's cheating! I like to inspect each case as I hand prime.
Good luck!
300 an hour using already primed cases is not so much 'cheating' on the true hourly production rate as it is merely not adding in the priming time done off press - lol

I'm not adding the time it took to hand prime the cases so it is cheating to a certain extent.
Redding T-7 If you have a Cabelas nearby or anyone that has one for you to look at in person go take a look. When you see it you will understand why it is so highly rated. I use mine for 223 and 308. But for pistol rounds I sure would recommend a Dillion 550.
+1 on all said about the Redding T7 turret press. I have been using one for about 5+ years and love it. Very well made and customer service is great but so are the other guys.
I also put a Hornady case activated powder drop on it with the RCBS Uniflow powder measure. This combo was not hard to setup and works great...Just takes a step out of the procedure.
I like that its built very well and has a positive stop at each station.
Plus the 7 stations are very nice.
I looked at all the turret presses out there and settled on this one because its very well made, Redding is a very good company, the only other ones that were close was the RCBS and the Lyman,,,but when you have all of them in front of you...you will see why I chose the redding T7. Its massive compared.
Kinda reminds me of the old Hollywood presses...!!
I have never used any of the Lee presses but have seen many in action. Some like them,,while others....well you know
I have loaded a lot of pistol and rifle brass on it without any problems. Plus you can get the primer setup for it also...Mine works good and speeds the priming up when I use it. Mostly use a hand primer.
Thats my story....

I am a believer that most people over-rate the draft as a tool to building a successful team. This is not to say that I don't think it is an important tool, but rather that it isn't the only tool and probably not the most important tool. Successful teams, even in the post-lockout NHL, can and have been built significantly through trades and free agent signings.
I looked at every teams current rosters and added up how many players on the roster was drafted by that team. For forwards and defensemen the player must have played 20 games this year in the NHL and for goalies they must have played 10 games. Some exceptions have been made for significant players who have not met the games played requirements due to injury as I think the team deserves credit for these players too. Joe Sakic is an example. Lesser established players such as Carlo Colaiacovo was not counted even though he likely would have played 20 games had he been healthy.
Based on those requirements here are how each team fared.
13-San Jose
9-New Jersey
9-St. Louis
8-NY Rangers
7-Los Angeles
6-Tampa Bay
4-NY Islanders
At the top of the list you find a lot of pretty good teams though the team at the very top, Buffalo, currently sits near the bottom of the eastern conference standings. At the bottom of the list you will find many bad or mediocre teams such as the NY Islanders, Carolina, Phoenix, Tampa and Atlanta but at the very bottom of the list you will find two pretty good teams, including last years Stanley Cup winner, who have largely built their teams through trades and free agent signings. In Philadelphia's case the team was almost completely rebuilt in the past year. Also in the lower part of the list is Calgary who are a pretty good team but whose only draft picks that are playing a significant role on the team are Dion Phaneuf and Matthew Lombardi.
Is smart drafting important? Sure. Is it the be all and end all in building a successful team? Definitely not.
Click more for a list of each teams draft picks currently playing on their roster. If I have missed anyone post a comment.
Forwards and Defensemen – Minimum 20 games played this year or a significant player that doesn't qualify due to injury
Goalies – Minimum 10 games played this year

About Mary Drew
Mary Drew (née Gladstone; 23 November 1847–1 January 1927), was a political secretary, writer and hostess. She was the daughter of the British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, and achieved notability as his adviser, confidante and private secretary. She also attained a fair degree of political influence by controlling access to him.
* 1 Family * 2 Marriage and declivity of influence * 3 Diaries and letters * 4 References * 5 Notes * 6 External links
The Gladstones were a large and eccentric family. Mary's mother (née Catherine Glynne) and her mother's cousin, Lady Lyttelton, married on the same day in the same church, and often kept both families in the same house. Lord Lyttelton, Mary's uncle, recalled finding "seventeen children upon the floor, all under the age of twelve, and consequently all inkstands, books, carpets, furniture, ornaments, in intimate intermixture and in every form of fracture and confusion".[1] In all, there were seven Gladstone and twelve Lyttelton children.
Mary's father's rescue work amongst the prostitutes of London is well known and was considered by many contemporaries unbecoming of a Prime Minister. His sister went insane after converting to Roman Catholicism, and subsequently used tracts written by Protestant theologians as lavatory paper, an act which incensed the zealously Anglican Prime Minister.
Mary Gladstone, growing up against this outré background, was her father's favourite, a plain girl and studious, but with little serious education. Her considerable gumption, however, won her the nickname Von Moltke. After a few infatuations with several uninterested men, she resigned herself to life as a spinster. In 1880, on becoming Prime Minister for a third term at the age of seventy, her father created her one of his Downing Street secretaries. Thus began her political career: she soon became the door to her father. It was a powerful position in which she delighted.
Marriage and declivity of influence
On 2 February 1886, at the age of 38, Mary Gladstone astounded her friends and family by marrying the Rev. Harry Drew, curate of Hawarden, who was ten years her junior. They had one surviving daughter, Dorothy Mary Catherine Drew, born 11 March 1890, who was a favourite of her grandfather.
After the Prime Minister's final retirement in 1894, her political influence waned. Although a great friend to his successor Lord Rosebery, she was never again able to wield influence.
Diaries and letters
A keen diarist, Gladstone kept copious notes of her father's meetings and conversations, in addition to her own observations of late 19th-century political events. Her archives, "The Mary Gladstone Papers" (some of which were published by Lucy Masterman in 1930 under the title Mary Gladstone (Mrs. Drew), Her Diaries and Letters), are a much-used source of many 20th- and 21st-century biographies of leading figures of the day.
The diary, which served as an emotional outlet, diminished in its thoroughness after her hymeneals, when what she had previously committed to paper she found she could instead commit to her husband. She wrote nothing at all for the seven years between 1904 and 1911, but picked it up again almost immediately after her husband died. She had intended for a time to publish the diaries herself, but, according to Lucy Masterman, the proofs "were considerably 'edited' and much of the raciness and individuality taken from them. They have therefore been discarded, except as evidence of an intention to publish, wherever the original MS. exists."[2]
Gladstone had an eccentric grammar, employing a sort of long dot as her generic period. Masterman (whom the diary describes at twenty-two as "rather a minx with forward priggy manners") took pains to edit out both this and the many banal lists of attendees at parties and dinners, along with the myriad accounts and analyses of symphony concerts, and evidence of her congenital dayums: "Anniversaries of births, christenings, confirmations, proposals, betrothals, deaths, and funerals were constantly noted, together, of course, with Saints' Days and Festivals of the Church."[3]

A report of Mary Drew (Gladstone)'s wedding:
GLADSTONE AND HIS SON-IN-LAW. from the London World.
At the marriage of Miss Mary Gladstone the people who came to look on were allowed to occupy every seat except one that was reserved for the Prince and Princess of Wales; a few seats in another pew were kept for the Gladstone family, and were occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, the bride's mother, (who wore the historical blue velvet,) and Mrs. Wickham [the bride's sister]. Mr. Gladstone did not come down from his place in the chancel to invite the Prince and Princess into the vestry. He followed the bride and bridegroom, and the Prince "personally conducted" the Princess and Prince George out of the church. When the happy pair came out again Mr. Gladstone hurried down the aisle after them. He neither spoke nor even looked at any of his friends. Once he turned to beckon to Mrs. Gladstone, and she immediately set off after him. Mr. John Drew, the father of the young clergyman to whom Miss Mary Gladstone was married last week, is one of the most ardent and active Conservatives in Devonshire and a Tory of the "stern and unbending" type. Mr. Drew is a land surveyor in a large way of business, and acts as agent to Lord Devon for the Powderham and Moreton estates. The Rev. Harry Drew was educated at Newton Abbot school and at Keble College, Oxford. He was tutor to the son of Lady Anne Speirs, of Elderslie, for some time, and then returned to Newton as assistant master, after which he became traveling tutor to the second son of Lord Manvers, who died at Rome. Mr. Drew then went to Cuddesden, where he prepared for orders under the supervision of Canon Furse. He went on a walking tour in North Wales during one of the vacations, and happened to visit the Reverend Stephen Gladstone at Hawarden, who offered him a curacy as soon as he was ordained, and he has been officiating at Hawarden during the last two years. Mr. and Mrs. Drew went to Lady Sarah Spencer's place in Hertfordshire for their honeymoon; but they are expected to go to Devonshire this week to stay with Mr. and Mrs. John Drew, at Kewton, near Starcross.

Living & Dining: Overview
The residential experience is a central feature of a Princeton education. While all students are required to live in residential colleges as freshmen and sophomores, most enjoy the variety of housing and dining options available and remain on campus throughout their undergraduate years.
Students play an integral role in building and maintaining a spirit of community within their residential environments through programming, social and cultural activities and by assuming leadership and advising roles such as residential college advisers or dormitory assistants.
Many students join Prospect Street eating clubs as juniors and seniors and become active members in the clubs' social, intramural and educational activities.

You know that I'll be an unwavering champion for choice – and women's health - in the U.S. Congress.
But the extreme pro-life activists trying to take away our rights are attacking at both the state and federal level.
This summer, NH become one of the first states in the nation to shut down all funding for the basic, preventive health care offered at Planned Parenthood health centers across the state.
The move to strip Planned Parenthood's funding passed by only one vote - and my friend and former campaign manager, Colin Van Ostern, has now announced he is running against the NH incumbent who cast the swing vote, to stop this radical agenda.
I've told Colin that at least 50 of our grassroots Kuster supporters will stand with him by making a contribution of $4 or whatever you can afford!
Will you stand with us today?

For 40 years, the Kronos Quartet has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a
spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagining the string
quartet experience. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and
influential groups of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more
than 50 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, collaborating with many of the
world's most intriguing and accomplished composers and performers, and commissioning more
than 850 works and arrangements for string quartet. In 2011, Kronos became the only
recipients of both the Polar Music Prize and the Avery Fisher Prize-two of the most
prestigious awards given to musicians. The group's numerous awards also include a Grammy
for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and being named 2003's Musicians of the Year by
Musical America.
Kronos' adventurous approach dates back to the ensemble's origins. In 1973, David
Harrington was inspired to form Kronos after hearing George Crumb's Black Angels,
a highly unorthodox, Vietnam War-inspired work that featured bowed water glasses,
spoken-word passages, and electronic effects. Kronos then began building a compellingly
diverse repertoire for string quartet, performing and recording works by 20th-century
masters (Bartók, Webern, Schnittke), contemporary composers (John Adams, Osvaldo Golijov,
Aleksandra Vrebalov), jazz legends (Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk), rock
artists (guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, Brazilian electronica artist Amon Tobin, Icelandic
indie-rock group Sigur Rós), and artists who truly defy genre (performance artist Laurie
Anderson, composer-sound sculptor-inventor Trimpin, interdisciplinary composer-performer
Meredith Monk).
Integral to Kronos' work is a series of long-running, in-depth collaborations with many of
the world's foremost composers. One of the quartet's most frequent composer-collaborators
is "Father of Minimalism" Terry Riley, whose work with Kronos includes Salome Dances
for Peace; Sun Rings, a multimedia, NASA-commissioned ode to the earth and
its people, featuring celestial sounds and images from space; and The Serquent
Risadome, premiered during Kronos' 40th-anniversary celebration at Carnegie Hall in
2014. Kronos commissioned and recorded the three string quartets of Polish composer Henryk
Górecki, with whom the group worked for more than 25 years. The quartet has also
collaborated extensively with composers such as Philip Glass, recording a CD of his string
quartets in 1995 and premiering a new work in 2013, among other projects; Azerbaijan's
Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, whose works are featured on the full-length 2005 release Mugam
Sayagi; Steve Reich, from Kronos' performance of the Grammy-winning composition
Different Trains to the September 11-themed WTC 9/11; and many more.
In addition to composers, Kronos counts numerous performers from around the world among
its collaborators, including Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man; Azeri master vocalist Alim
Qasimov, legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle, featured on Kronos'
Grammy-nominated CD You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from R. D. Burman's Bollywood;
Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq; indie rock band The National; Mexican rockers Café Tacvba;
sound artist and instrument builder Walter Kitundu; and Romanian gypsy band Taraf de
Haïdouks. Kronos has performed live with the likes of Paul McCartney, Allen Ginsberg, Zakir
Hussain, Modern Jazz Quartet, Noam Chomsky, Rokia Traoré, Tom Waits, David Barsamian,
Howard Zinn, Betty Carter, and David Bowie, and has appeared on recordings by such diverse
talents as Nine Inch Nails, Dan Zanes, DJ Spooky, Dave Matthews, Nelly Furtado,
Joan Armatrading, and Don Walser. In dance, famed choreographers Merce Cunningham,
Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Eiko & Koma, and Paul Lightfoot and Sol León (Nederlands Dans
Theater) have created pieces with Kronos' music.
Kronos' work has also featured prominently in a number of films, including two recent
Academy Award-nominated documentaries: the AIDS-themed How to Survive a Plague
(2012) and Dirty Wars (2013), an exposé of covert warfare for which Kronos' David
Harrington served as music supervisor. Kronos also performed scores by Philip Glass for the
films Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and Dracula (a restored edition of
the 1931 Tod Browning-Bela Lugosi classic) and by Clint Mansell for the Darren Aronofsky
films The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream. Additional films featuring
Kronos' music include 21 Grams, Heat, and True Stories.
The quartet spends five months of each year on tour, appearing in concert halls, clubs,
and festivals around the world, including Lincoln Center Out of Doors, BAM Next Wave
Festival, Carnegie Hall, London's Barbican, WOMAD, UCLA's Royce Hall, Amsterdam's
Concertgebouw, Shanghai Concert Hall, and Sydney Opera House. Kronos is equally prolific
and wide-ranging on recordings. The ensemble's expansive discography on Nonesuch Records
includes collections like Pieces of Africa (1992), a showcase of African-born
composers that simultaneously topped Billboard's Classical and World Music charts;
1998's 10-disc anthology, Kronos Quartet: 25 Years; Nuevo (2002), a
Grammy- and Latin Grammy-nominated celebration of Mexican culture; and the 2004
Grammy-winner, Alban Berg's Lyric Suite. Other recent releases include Rainbow
(Smithsonian Folkways, 2010), in collaboration with musicians from Afghanistan and
Azerbaijan; and Aheym: Kronos Quartet Plays Music by Bryce Dessner (Anti-, 2013).
Kronos' two most recent releases, unveiled by Nonesuch simultaneously in 2014 in
celebration of the quartet's 40th anniversary season, are Kronos Explorer Series,
a five-CD retrospective boxed set; and the single-disc A Thousand Thoughts,
featuring mostly unreleased recordings from throughout Kronos' career. Music publishers
Boosey & Hawkes and Kronos have released two editions of Kronos Collection
sheet music: Volume 1 (2006), featuring three Kronos-commissioned works; and
Volume 2 (2014), featuring six Kronos-commissioned arrangements by composer
Osvaldo Golijov.
In addition to its role as a performing and recording ensemble, the quartet is committed
to mentoring emerging performers and composers and has led workshops, master classes, and
other education programs at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, California State
Summer School for the Arts, Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute, London's Barbican, and
other institutions in the US and overseas. Kronos is undertaking extended educational
residencies in 2013-2014 at UC Berkeley's Cal Performances, the Clarice Smith Performing
Arts Center at the University of Maryland, the Special Music School at the Kaufman Music
Center in New York City, and the Malta Arts Festival.
With a staff of 10 based in San Francisco, the non-profit Kronos Performing Arts
Association (KPAA) manages all aspects of Kronos' work, including the commissioning of new
works, concert tours, concert presentations in the San Francisco Bay Area, education
programs, and more. One of KPAA's most exciting initiatives is the Kronos: Under 30
Project, a unique commissioning and residency program for composers under age 30 that has
now added five new works to the Kronos repertoire. By cultivating creative relationships
with emerging and established artists from around the world, Kronos and KPAA reap the
benefit of decades of wisdom, while maintaining a fresh approach to music making.
Beginning in the 2015-2016 season, the newly announced Fifty for the Future: The
Kronos Learning Repertoire, launched in collaboration with Carnegie Hall as a lead
partner, will include the commissioning of 50 new works-from five women and five men per
year for five years-devoted to contemporary approaches to the quartet, designed expressly
for the training of students and emerging professionals, and distributed online for
Kaufman Music Center's Face the Music is the only youth ensemble in the country solely
devoted to the music of living composers. Under the direction of Dr. Jenny Undercofler,
Face the Music has performed at venues such as Merkin Hall, Roulette, Lincoln Center Out of
Doors, and the Bang on a Can Marathon, and has been featured in The New York Times
and The Wall Street Journal.
Face the Music performs music for orchestra, jazz band, and improvisation ensembles in all
genres, written by its own member-composers; and partners with the Kronos Quartet in a
one-of-a-kind string quartet program. The student quartets in the Kronos at Kaufman program
represent the best string students in the city, drawn together by a shared desire to
explore modern quartet repertoire.
Founded in the 13th century, Kovilj
Monastery in northern Serbia is home to two dozen Orthodox Christian monks. The Kovilj
Monastery Choir has performed Byzantine chanting for more than 20 years in services that
include all-night vigils in the monasteries of Hilandar and Vatopedi on Mount Athos, and at
music festivals in Serbia, Finland, Russia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and France. Its
members have written about Byzantine chanting and recorded several CDs that include Psalms,
all-night vigil, and chants. Hierotheos, the leader of the group since 2003, joined the
brotherhood in 1998. From 2009 to 2013, he studied Byzantine music with late Lykourgos
Angelopoulos in Athens and performed with the Greek Byzantine Choir. Hierotheos is the
founder of the St. John Damascene schola cantorum in Novi Sad, Serbia, where he also
teaches church chanting.

Dance Companies Apply for Business Training to Get a Leg Up
Small to mid-sized Brooklyn performing arts dance companies can now apply for free professional development through the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and the DeVos Institute of Arts Management.
The goal of the 14-month program is to help arts non-profits improve the business behind their art by bolstering their financial management, marketing and strategic planning skills.
"A lot of times, smaller organizations focus so much on the creative," said Tamara McCaw, the director of BAM's government and community affairs division. "But you need to be able to market. You need to be able to have those people in those seats and you need to be able to fund-raise."
The program will offer business training to six Brooklyn dance companies or performing arts groups that incorporate dance into their business development programs. Groups selected will also be offered deeply-subsidized rehearsal spaces.
Comparable assistance to non-profits in other performing arts genres — like theater or opera — will be offered by BAM and the DeVos Institute in the coming years.
Tiffany Mills, who is the founder and artistic director of her own five-person dance company, said she was excited to apply for such a program.
"It will bring a different type of artist to BAM," she said. "Most of BAM's program to date has been very well-established artists."
Mills said the new program had the potential to engage new audiences by focusing on homegrown Brooklyn talent.
"BAM draws people from all over, so it's not just local," she said. "But I think if our company were to perform in Brooklyn, we might get some Brooklyners who might not get the opportunity to go into Manhattan."
Due to Brooklyn's few dance venues, The Tiffany Mills Company schleps to Manhattan to perform in spaces like the Baryshnikov Arts Center, where it will premiere the show berries and bulls next year.
After the participants complete 14 months of development, each will perform at BAM's Richard B. Fisher Building, a new arts and community center scheduled to open in September of 2012. The opening and performance are part of BAM's 150th anniversary celebration.
BAM and the DeVos Institute will accept applications from dance non-profits through December 5.

'The Capitol Pressroom' with Susan Arbetter
Today on "The Capitol Pressroom":
Hydrofracking: There is reportedly an effort underway in Chenango County to develop a "pilot" gas drilling operation at Camp Pharsalia, a former prison. Is this simply the spark of an idea or something more advanced? Is this an end-run around the SGEIS process, or a valid way to test the technology in New York State? We are working on the story.
Why does the state spend 70 million dollars on remedial education for high school graduates? State University of New York Chancellor Nancy Zimpher discusses the problems that have lead to this frightening statistic she recently shared at a budget hearing: That 50% of all students who enter community college in NYS need remedial and developmental education to prepare them for a higher degree.
When it comes to creating public-private partnerships, nobody does it better than CNSE Senior Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Alain Kaloyeros. He joins me in the studio to discuss why the College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering at the University of Albany has been called a template for economic development projects like the one Governor Cuomo hopes to spark in Buffalo.

text: A bill to restrict ammo magazines to ten rounds has been shot down by state lawmakers.The Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee rejected the proposal submitted by Senate President Justin Alfond. A Democrat on the committee said Democrats unanimously killed the bill as a good faith gesture as that panel is working toward a compromise on several gun control measures.That compromise will likely include expanded background checks.Berwick Democrat Joshua Plante says they'll likely combine all the remaining bills into one bill to send to the House floor. "The proposal right now is to find a way to fix the problem in the background checks system and the holes in mental health, in terms of those who have gotten guns who really shouldn't have them because of their mental status. What we want to do is find a way to put a compromise together," Plante said.Plante says he expects it to take several work sessions to reach compromise and finalize a bill.

Project Description2012 RADA
Affordable Housing / Merit
It's an old tune that the architecture cognoscenti knows by now: David Baker + Partners does better affordable projects than many firms do market-rate work. This mixed-used, Merit award–winning project for low-income and formerly homeless families is no exception.
Occupying a prominent corner on the site of a collapsed freeway, the U-shaped building creates a tree-lined courtyard and common spaces and ground-floor retail to serve residents' needs. "The goal was to maximize a tight site to meet program needs and create gracious homes and community spaces," the firm says.
The building conveys transparency and light, though it incorporates a variety of security measures to protect the residents. To accomplish the openness, the firm used high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and abundant glass panels.
Energy efficiency and green materials play an important role in the project as well, from the reclaimed lumber in the courtyard to the zinc cladding and recycled wood insets on the façade.
The jury lauded the project's strong presence in the urban context and its "incredible public spaces." Said one judge, "Spaces are great; [the architects] didn't give up on or compromise on anything even though it's affordable."

Juho Kim is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at KAIST, and directs KIXLAB (the KAIST Interaction Lab). His research in human-computer interaction focuses on building interactive systems that support interaction at scale: crowdsourcing and human computation, online education and learning at scale, civic engagement and collective action, and interactive data analytics and mining. He creates interactive and collaborative technology that empowers conventionally passive populations -- students receiving instruction and citizens influenced by social issues -- to be active and self-directed participants who initiate deeper learning and collective action. He often takes an interdisciplinary approach to his research, by connecting computer science with learning sciences and social sciences, and aims to deploy interactive systems to real users.
He earned his Ph.D. from MIT, M.S. from Stanford University, and B.S. from Seoul National University. In 2015-2016, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor and a Brown Fellow at Stanford University. He is a recipient of eight paper awards from ACM CHI, ACM Learning at Scale, and AAAI HCOMP, and the Samsung Fellowship.

Severe COPD can lead to cor pulmonale and emphysema and is associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) filling. We evaluated whether emphysema and airflow obstruction would be associated with changes in right ventricular (RV) structure and function and whether these associations would differ by smoking status.
The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) performed cardiac MRI on 5,098 participants without clinical cardiovascular disease aged 45 to 84 years. RV and emphysema measures were available for 4,188 participants. Percent emphysema was defined as the percentage of voxels below −910 Hounsfield units in the lung windows on cardiac CT scans. Generalized additive models were used to control for confounders and adjust for respective LV parameters.
Participants consisted of 13% current smokers, 36% former smokers, and 52% never smokers. Percent emphysema was inversely associated with RV end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, cardiac output, and mass prior to adjustment for LV measures. After adjustment for LV end-diastolic volume, greater percent emphysema was associated with greater RV end-diastolic volume (+1.5 mL, P = .03) among current smokers, smaller RV end-diastolic volume (−0.8 mL, P = .02) among former smokers, and similar changes among never smokers.
Percent emphysema was associated with smaller RV volumes and lower mass. The relationship of emphysema to cardiac function is complex but likely involves increased pulmonary vascular resistance, predominantly with reduced cardiac output, pulmonary hyperinflation, and accelerated cardiopulmonary aging.

The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. (oxforddictionaries.com. "Plagiarism," n.d., para. 1). Plariarism is a form of cheating and a violation of academic integrity, and is taken seriously by reputable universities such as Alliant. Most students are honest and hard-working, but a few choose to take shortcuts in their coursework, and some commit plagiarism inadvertently because they do not understand what it is. This is unfair to those ethical students who would never consider plagiarizing and take steps to avoid it.
Give Credit Where Credit is Due
Give Credit Where Credit is Due: Avoiding Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement
This instruction guide is designed to inform the Alliant community about plagiarism and copyright infringement and to reduce their occurrence. It will help you know how to use the work of others without presenting it as your own. The best way to avoid plagiarism is careful citing of materials used in your writing, whether verbatim or paraphrased. Quotation marks must enclose any sentence, phrase, or even an unusual word lifted "as is" from a source.
A variety of educational resources are presented below, along with basic concepts that everyone in higher education should know. Sections include: Legal Information, Alliant Resources, APA Resources, Online Documents, Other Plagiarism Resources, and Library Resources.
Legal Information
The principles of Copyright and Fair Use are of particular interest to governments. Here are some United States federal resources about them:
1. Copyright
Copyright is based on the idea that we are all entitled to the fruits of our labors. It is the ownership of intellectual property. Copyright is a legal concept giving the creator of an original work of authorship exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time, after which the work enters the public domain. Generally, it is "the right to copy," but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, etc. United States Copyright Office
The Copyright Act of 1976 remains the primary basis of copyright law in the United States, although it has been amended several times. Title 17 of the U.S. Code spells out the rights of copyright holders and provides for the protection of intellectual property. To qualify for copyright protection, a work must be original, creative to a minimal degree, and in a fixed or tangible form of expression. It does not cover: works in the public domain; facts and ideas; works that lack originality; and freeware. The Act also outlines the Fair Use Doctrine, which permits the use of copyrighted material for educational purposes.
2. Fair Use
An important part of copyright law is the Fair Use Doctrine. It was designed to balance the rights of a work's creator with the work's potential benefit to society, as well as free speech rights. Fair Use allows the photocopying, downloading and printing of copyrighted works, without securing permission, for these purposes: criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. The following four factors must be considered when determining if the use or duplication of a work is legal:
a. Purpose and character of the use
OK for educational but not commercial purposes. You cannot make a monetary profit.
b. Nature of the copyrighted work
A rather vague concept, it refers to a range of protection depending on whether the original work is factual (less protected) or creative/fictional (more protected).
c. Amount of the portion used in relation to the whole work
OK to duplicate a small amount, specifically:
- Single chapter from a book (around 15% based on number of pages -- 400 page book = 60 pages)
- Single article from a journal or journal issue
- Short story, essay, or poem from an individual work
- Chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture per book, journal or newspaper (provided that the individual illustration is not copyrighted)
d. Effect of use on the potential market or value of the copyrighted work
Duplication should not harm the commercial value of a work, that is, it is not a substitute for actually purchasing a book, music recording, etc.
3. Educators and researchers
There are further restrictions on the duplication and distribution of copyrighted materials for the classroom and course reserves. Fair Use of these materials must meet the tests of brevity, spontaneity, and cumulative effect. Each copy distributed must include a notice of copyright. It is the responsibility of faculty members to secure permissions. Additional considerations are applied to electronic course reserves. (See Library Policies.)
a. Brevity
Use is limited to either (a) a complete article, story, or essay, if less than 2500 words; or (b) an excerpt from any prose work of not more than 100 words or 10% of the work, whichever is less, but in any event, a minimum of 500 words.
b. Spontaneity
The educator's inspiration and decision to use the work must occur so close to the time it is needed that there is not sufficient opportunity to secure permission.
c. Cumulative effect
- Use for one course in the school only. (Interpretations of what defines a "course" are available.)
- Use is limited, per course/semester, to: one article/story/essay/poem or two excerpts per author; or three from a collected work or journal volume.
- Maximum allowed is nine instances of duplication, per course/semester.
Prohibitions against duplication
- Cannot substitute for the purchase of textbooks, compilations, journals, or reprints.
- Cannot be repeated by the same educator from semester to semester.
- Students cannot be charged more than the actual cost of duplication.
- No works intended as "consumable" such as workbooks and standardized test booklets.
There are some materials it is never OK to duplicate, such as protocols (scoring sheets) and parts from test kits in the Library's collection. Because psychological and educational tests must be administered by licensed professionals, they are subject to stricter rules. In addition, the use of existing testing instruments for research purposes requires the permission of the author and/or publisher.
- Despite the above permitted uses, it is wise to exercise caution when using copyrighted work. Binding agreements such as contracts or license agreements may take precedence over Fair Use.
- The parameters of copyright and Fair Use do evolve over time with new litigation and legislation. Please consult current sources of information if in doubt.
This Instruction Guide was written in August 2008 by former Alliant Los Angeles librarian Stephanie Ballard.
It was revised and updated by former Alliant San Diego librarian Melinda DeWitt. August 2009 & February 2012
Reviewed and revised by Alliant San Diego librarian Robin Schiff, March 2014 and April 2015.
Copyright Infringement
As a general matter, copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner. (U.S. Copyright Office, Definitions, "What is copyright infringement?" n.d., para. 5).
Because the principles of copyright and fair use are pertinent to a discussion of plagiarism, they are included as well. For example, it is fair use to photocopy or print out one chapter of a book or one article from a journal issue, but not the entire work. Rules governing the use of copyrighted materials in classrooms and in course reserves are of particular concern to faculty, who are expected to become familiar with and apply them in their course preparation. To comply with fair use guidelines, for example, faculty may supply students with citations and ask them to duplicate the articles themselves, rather than hand out multiple copies in class.

In the past 18 months I've spent a lot of time working with Forrester clients on many facets of online testing (that's a/b and multivariate testing for those of you scoring at home) spanning vendor selection, organizing and developing skills for testing, and building processes to support testing.
One of the general trends in online testing has been the democratization of access to marketing users. I think this is a positive development because successful online testing is a team sport that requires collaboration across multiple departments and skillsets. However, pulling testing outside of the exclusive domain of analysts puts a lot of pressure on vendors to supply tools that are suitable for non-technical audiences. This means providing easy-to-use, guided functionality, collaboration features, campaign preview facilities, extensive object reuse, and modern interface designs. And, to varying degrees, vendors are making progress in the area of user experience to meet these needs.
I have noticed that one of the features that often gets short shrift is test planning tools. In my experience, planning functionality has come forward as a crucial – and underrated – feature in situations where marketers or non-technical users will be involved in the development and deployment of online testing campaigns. To explore this idea further, I just published a new piece of research titled "How CI Professionals Can Plan For Site Optimization Success."

In my part of the country — as in many others — it was a very hot and stormy summer. And beyond the weather, I haven't seen the traditional late July and August slow period. Much of my summer has been spent working on the upcoming Web Analytics Wave report. While I've been focused on research, the analytics community apparently has had too much to do and has continued moving along at full speed.

The Week that Keeps on Giving
After a lovely weekend celebrating my Nan's 80th birthday (check out my cousin's beautiful photos of the party, too), this week has been decidedly ridiculous.
Starting with Monday afternoon when I picked up an emotional Ellie. We dropped Kahlei at her dance class and sat outside the hall and Ellie was whingy, clingy and suddenly going down hill fast. Soon she was fitfully sleeping on my lap, clammy and obviously unwell. It was a long ballet lesson.
But, as usual, she picked up fast and was in school Tuesday. Jasper, on the other hand spent Monday night barely sleeping, feeling unwell and being a grump. Tuesday night was spent in much the same way. Little sleep, lots of grumping.
Mid morning Wednesday I decided to take him to a doctor after getting some FB advice (thank you!) on a video of his breathing. As a new Asthma mum I am really struggling with when to escalate to a trip to the GP or ER. He picked up, we were sent home but within an hour I wasn't happy with how he was doing so I packed my two homebodies up and went to get Ellie from school.
I went to her class only to be met with her hiding under the table, crying and carrying on that I was taking her early. A whole 25 minutes early. The way she was carrying on made me look like the Worst Mother Ever (why else would a child carry on so about going home?). I then had to carry her on one hip and an unwell Jasper on the other all the way from her class to the car, with her screeching that she didn't want to leave the whole time.
Then we spent hours in the ED. Three kids, one on adrenalin and a tired Mumma all piled into one cubicle and surrounded by equally grumpy (and vocal) patients isn't that fun.
We got let go because of a man who arrived in an Ambulance, even thought the nurse wasn't keen to send Jasper home.
And, today? Well. While dropping only one child at Day Care I backed into another parent's car. Talk about making friends. I've never done anything like that before, I was mortified and spent the morning, in the rain crying and apologising to the man who's car I hit. Of course, he was lovely and wasn't outwardly cursing the crazy crying lady in the rain.
So, now I'm snuggled on the couch with my sick boy, pale from crying with a husband who is barely talking to me and a bill of an unknown sum hanging over my head at a time when we can't really afford it. Not to mention the resulting rise our premiums will have applied upon renewal. Suddenly, I feel a whole lot of pressure to be making money (or, more pressure, I already felt the need to be able to pay for gifts and so on with 'my own' money) and I have no idea where to start. I do have advertising slots available on the right if you're interested. I feel like James might not ever forgive me if I can't take some of the strain off.
Pick up for Ellie is an hour and a half away and I don't feel like I ever want to get in the car again. I especially don't ever want to get in the car and go to Day Care, which could be a problem for Kahlei.
So, Friday, if you could see fit to be a little kinder I would greatly appreciate it.

Fingers crossed Friday is nicer to you. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone with a child wh carries on about going home …. Mr 4 screams, yells and runs away everytime I pick him up from Kindy! The worst time would have been when he yelled 'I hate you Mum' 'Don't you are hurting' (I wasn't touching him at the time) and 'I am not going home with you' I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Thankfully after 4 terms he now only squeals and runs *sigh*
Oh how I LOVE glove 'things'! It's amazing how many cool things and animals etc that can be made with a simple glove. Fish made with ECG sticker eyes seem to be a favorite with the kiddies in the ambulance lol. Hope your week finishes much much better Becky!! 🙂
Those days are the worst. I'm sorry you had such a rough trot. Today is Friday and although it's miserable and wet, I hope you've had good start to the day. It's almost the weekend, after all. X
Hoping your day/week improves. Cute photos!
I had an asthmatic toddler and was always tormented by trying to decide wehter he's sort things out with a bit of extra Ventolin or whether we needed to pack up and decamp for the hospital. I've defintely been where you are and it can suck really hard sometimes. Wishing you a much better weekend and a fresh start next week. Rach xx
I hope today was better for you – have a rough week too – bills, sick kids, head lice, etc etc. !! Hang in there 🙂
