Protests Outside Israeli Dance Troupe's Performance
Protests Outside Israeli Dance Troupe's PerformanceBy Jamie Neikrie
This past weekend, protests erupted outside Wellington's St. James theatre, which was hosting a performance by an Israeli dance troupe, Batsheva.
John Minto, a key organizer in the 1980 protests of the South African apartheid protests, led a pro-Palestinian group of 40-plus strong. Using much of the same rhetoric used in the South African protests, the protestors denounced the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israeli government.
While the protestors allowed visitors to enter the performance, many of the guests were discouraged from attending. The pro-Palestinian supporters highlighted the fact that the dance troupe received funding from the Israeli government. "I'm sure many of these dancers are lovely people," acknowledged protestor Dougal McNeill. "But by coming to New Zealand and representing Israel, they are attempting to normalize an apartheid state and unjust treatment of the Palestinian people."
David Zwartz, a leader in Wellington's Jewish community, led an equally powerful and animated pro-Israel response to the protests. Chief among Zwartz's criticism of the protest was the decision to picket an arts performance. "There are numerous examples in history of countries and governments using cultural outreach programs," Zwartz said. "The New Zealand government sends dance troupes, symphonies, and other arts programs across the world. This is not a novel idea."
The pro-Israeli side also took offence to the use of the word "apartheid." "To compare to Israel to South Africa, or compare the Palestinians to the blacks in South Africa is patently false, and disingenuous." Zwartz claimed*.
An unlikely ally came to the aid of Zwartz and the pro-Israel side in the form of the Flaxmere Christian Fellowship. Over 20 of the church's members, many of them Samoan and Maori, had travelled all the way from Auckland to aid the pro-Israel side. "From a spiritual sense, we feel it is out duty to come to aid of Israel," said Fellowship member Doug Ho, a leader in the church's youth program. "But we also feel that protesting a dance troupe just because they are Israeli is also wrong."
The protests largely felt like an unproductive shouting match between two equally staunch sides. But information distributed by both sides, as well as their presence at a public event, will help to advance public debate over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Desert Vista basketball programs are still hustling and muscling their way through season with less than a week left.
In Division I, Desert Vista is the only school that can say that both teams are still alive in the Elite Eight in the respective 24-team tournaments.
That's pretty special in itself, but neither would be satisfied with it ending there.
Both programs face difficult circumstances for two very different reasons in this week's quarterfinals.
The No. 6 Thunder girls are 25-6 and have been one of the state's top teams all year, but have been shafted by the system as they have to face third-seeded and undefeated St. Mary's, which is ranked in the top five nationally (No. 4 MaxPreps, No. 1 USAToday).
Desert Vista coach Rachel Proudfoot wisely didn't comment on her feelings on how a team respected so much nationally only managed to be a third seed in its own state tournament.
More on that later.
The Desert Vista boys (21-8) are dealing with something much more difficult as Thunder coach Dave Williams might have to leave the team at any moment with his father facing his final days.
"My dad is deathly ill," he said after Saturday night's blowout of Mountain View. "He could die any minute. The kids know how emotional I am at this point. They've showed me that they love me."
It is a lot for him and the players to deal with as they prepare for Tuesday's 2:30 p.m. tipoff with No. 4 Gilbert (21-6) at ASU's Wells Fargo Arena.
The two programs haven't faced each other this season, but Williams feels like it doesn't matter who the fifth-seeded Thunder face at this point.
"We're dialed in now," Williams said. "Hopefully we can duplicate (the level of play they showed against Mountain View) again over on Tuesday at ASU. We'll see if we can or not. This group is focused."
The Thunder girls are going to have to be at their best to take on St. Mary's (27-0) on Monday at 4:15 p.m. at Wells Fargo Arena.
St. Mary's has really only been challenged once this season, wining by as many as 69 points and allowing as little as 10 this season while beating teams from Australia, New York and Maryland.
The closest game of the year came against Chandler, led by former Thunder teammate Simone Westbrook, when the Wolves kept it close before losing 68-62 on Jan. 6.
None of that really matters come Monday afternoon when Desert Vista, which can match the size and speed with its multiple lineups but not the depth, takes its first shot at the Knights.
"We will give special assignments and each person can take on their own role on defense," Proudfoot said. "They know they are ranked high and are excited about the chance to pulling off the upset and do something great."

Pandora Founder Tim Westergren Would Love the Internet Radio Fairness Act to Pass...
Pandora Founder Tim Westergren is looking for help in getting the Internet Radio Fairness Act passed. From Digital Music News:
Today, a bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress by members of the House and Senate called the Internet Radio Fairness Act.
It is a very important bill for Pandora. For the first time since 1998, it will finally bring fairness to the way performanceroyalties are determined for internet radio.
Pandora pays performers (and composers) for every song that we stream. And we do so proudly. I'm a longtime working musician myself, and supporting musicians is a central principle at Pandora.

BALI UPDATE #509 - 12 June 2006
The Personification of Water
Dr. Masaru Emoto - Author, Scientist and Doctor of Alternative Medicine, 2 Day Appearance in Bali June 28 & 29, 2006 to Speak on 'The Hidden Message of Water.'
Born in Yokohama in 1943, Dr. Masaru Emoto obtained his certification as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine from the
Open International University
in 1992. Focusing his studies on the concept of micro cluster water as revealed by Magnetic Resonance Analysis, he is credited with a radical rethinking of what water is and the role it plays in the planet's life. In his groundbreaking research he has sought to demonstrate the water shares a connection to our individual and collective human consciousness.
Capturing frozen water crystals in photographs, his work argues that water is capable of memorizing, retaining, and relaying types of information contained in music, pictures, the written word, prayers and thoughts. Each water crystal photographed by Dr. Emoto is uniquely different, reflecting the differentiated impact of being taken from a glass of water or a major body of water; similarly his work argues the crystals vary in their appearance after being exposed to the energy found in music or the written word.
Dr. Emoto is author of 3 best-selling books translated into over 30 languages:
Messages from Water, The Hidden Messages in Water,
The True Power of Water.
As part of a world-wide tour to promote water as a medium for peace, Dr. Masaru Emoto is including Bali where he will present a two-day seminar on Wednesday and Thursday, June 28 & 29, 2006, at the
Bali Mandira Hotel & Spa
on Jalan Padma Legian.
Reservations are a must. Telephone ++62-(0)361-731129 or send an email through the link provided for bookings and more information.

A HIT to Miss
Government Withdraws Top-Selling Insecticide HIT Due to Cancer Causing Ingredients.
The Indonesian Department of Agriculture has ordered the recall from the market of two top-selling mosquito insecticides
- both found to contain the dangerous
- a known carcinogenic and considered a general health threat to human internal organs.
In issuing the withdrawal order the Government has granted
PT Megasari Makmur
the company producing the insecticide and its distributors a grace period of two months to effect a complete removal of
from store shelves.
According to local press reports, the company producing the mosquito repellent were first ordered to stop producing the spray in 2003. Apparently, the latest order from the Government will see the dangerous product removed from circulation.
A check at local markets 4 days after the official announcement from the Department of Agriculture showed that
was still being sold freely at local markets with shop keepers saying they had yet to receive any official notification on how to dispose of stocks purchased from local distributors.
Australian-Indonesian Diplomacy on the Mend
Return of Indonesian Ambassador to Canberra Signals Thawing in the Officials Relations Between Jakarta and Canberra.
Indonesia's Ambassador to Canberra, T.M. Hamzah Thayeb, flew back to the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra on Saturday, June 10, 2006, after being absent from his post since March 24th. Thayeb was summoned back to Jakarta "for consultations" in late March when Indonesian and Australian relations suddenly took a turn for the worse when Canberra granted temporary asylum to 42 Papuans refugees.
Thayeb's return to Canberra was precipitated by a series of meetings between senior representatives of Australia and Indonesia, including recent meetings between Indonesias Foreign Minister Hasan Wirajuda and his Australian counterpart Alexander Downer.
Ambassador Thayeb's return to his Ambassadorial post in Canberra will allow final preparations to be undertaken in connection with the scheduled visit of Australian Prime Minister John Howard to Batam (Indonesia) on June 26 where he will hold meetings with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Australians represented the second largest group of inbound travelers to Bali. However, recent events and a souring of relations between Australia and Indonesia have resulted in a downturn of nearly 40% in this market.

Government Seeking New Debt Schedule for Garuda
Can Garuda Reduce its Debt Burden from US$794 Million to Just US$274 Million?
Indonesia's Minister of Transportation, M. Hatta Rajasa, has stated that the Government will soon propose a debt rescheduling to the
European Credit Agency (ECA)
- the consortium that holds the bulk of Airlines estimated US$794 million debt.
Fundamental to any rescheduling that may be finally agreed is an agreement by
creditors to a
or basic reduction in the outstanding principal and interest owed them.
The Government has established a steering committee consisting of representatives from the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, the Finance Ministry, and the Department of Transportation to guide a Government team attempting to renegotiate its debts with the
Minister Hatta, quoted in the Indonesian-language
Bisnis Indonesia
, complained that the 6
Airbus A330
aircraft, purchased via
loans by
Garuda Indonesia
in 1996, appeared to be
for the actual market value of the aircraft at that time.
In desperate need to improve the condition of its balance sheet,
is exploring a whole range of options - including a business-to-business renegotiation of its debt burden, a conversion of debt to equity and a rescheduling of its outstanding debt burden. Meanwhile, the Indonesian National Carrier is undertaking dramatic steps to enhance its operational efficiency by cutting operational costs by 10% system-wide, rationalizing its international and domestic route system, and reducing the types of aircraft it flies.
Pending finally coming to an agreement with
on its debt total,
has ceased from late 2005 to make payments on its principal debt of US$794 million.
According to local press report,
is seeking to reduce its debt burden from US$794 million to US$274 via the combination an agreed
and a conversion of outstanding debt to equity.

A Tail with Two Happy Endings
Not Your Typical Shaggy Dog Story: A 3 Legged Bali Dog Immigrates to Australia and Sets Up a Successful Pub in Albury-Wodonga.
Did you hear the one about the three-legged Bali Street Dog that Acts as the Hostess at an Australian pub named in her honor?
Right. We, too, were doubtful of this story's veracity until we recently came across an article in [
The Border Mail
] confirming that indeed "Nessa," the three-legged Bali dog, actually does exist and works a regular shift at "The Three Legged Dog" bar and restaurant - Albury's newest watering hole named in her honor.
The tale of the tail and its owner begins on Bali's Jimbaran beach where two Australian holiday makers, Matt Dillon of Nowra and Jacinta Mackay of Albury, were enjoying a beachside meal. Jacinta's enjoyment of her meal was disturbed by the sight of a malnourished, dehydrated and discarded four-week old Bali street dog limping through the sand on only three legs where she was almost managing to survive on table scraps.
Taking pity on the pup, Jacintha cradled the pup on her lap. Recalling the meeting, Jacintha said, "She was just the most beautiful girl, and was so placid. You could tell there wasnt a mean bone in her body."
While fellow Australians were busy shopping in local stores, Matt and Jacintha had "made their purchase" and spent the remainder of their Bali holiday arranging medical care and the "immigration" of Nessa to her new home Australia.
Discovering that three-legged dogs don't travel well or cheaply, Matt and Jacinta managed to spend some AU$8,000 shipping their dog home to her new home, including a month's quarantine in Singapore and a five-month's quarantine in a Sydney kennel.
That expense and experience now behind them, Nessa's now very much at home in the twin-cities of Albury-Wodonga, towns of 90,000 people straddling the Murray River on the border between Victoria and New South Wales.
On to a good thing and repeating a trick well-learned in Bali, Nessa's known to happily climb into any welcoming lap at her bar and restaurant "The Three Legged Dog."
Bali Fashion Week Postponed Until June 2007
Organizers Cite Lack of Government Support as Reason for Postponing 2006 Fashion Week Until June 2007.
Despite having firmly established itself as a major international fashion event, organizers of the
Bali Fashion Week VII
have decided to postpone the event originally set for June 2006 to June 3-6, 2007.
The event, founded and championed by Bali's Fashion icon Mardiana Ika, managed to draw hundred of top fashion buyers to Bali to view the latest creations by Indonesian designers and national fashion houses. However, according to the organizers, "a thorough evaluation of all economic aspects in Indonesia including the lack of financial support from the government to name a few,
ModaBali Foundation
decided to postpone The Bali Fashion Week VII that was scheduled to be held on 4-7 June 2006 to June 2007."
The organizers added: "We hope that within the following year, the economic conditions in Indonesia will develop where all business players have more confidence in conducting the promotions locally as well as internationally. We still highly believe in the strength possessed by the industry in Indonesia to create competitive & unique products for both domestic and international consumption. However, the great assistance and support from the Indonesian government will be much needed in order to gain maximum results from the Bali Fashion Week event that functions as one of the vehicles for promoting (Indonesias) fashion & textile industry to the world market."

Bali a Safe Haven for Playboy?
2nd Indonesian Edition of Controversial Mens Magazine Makes it Re-debut in Bali.
In a business in which levels of being risqué and pornographic are graded on a mileau ranging from "soft" to "hard" - the second Indonesian edition of the U.S. men's magazine
would qualify for a definitive "limp" rating on that scale. And sadly, those who shelled out a hard-earned Rp. 50,000 (approximately US$5.40) in hopes of seeing sensual secrets that even Victoria couldn't keep, must have been disappointed by the very toned-down Indonesian take on "raunchy."
No doubt disappointing many in the process, there were no nudes to be found between the covers of the June edition of
Playboy Indonesia.
Instead, readers were compelled to settle for a centerfold showing less cleavage than that readily viewable at any Balinese temple ceremony or via the ladies at the early morning market whose
double as cash drawers.
The first issue of the magazine, with its debut in Jakarta two months ago, was equally tame, but managing nonethless to evoke the ire of fundamentalist religious elements in the capital who protested the magazine's publication, demanded its banning, and ransacked its editorial offices for good measure.
Traumatized by the experience, the publishers of
Playboy Indonesia
moved their offices to Bali where, perhaps it was hoped, the lads are more "red blooded" when it comes to viewing the scantilly clothed female form. Still eager to distribute the magazine on a national basis, however, the Editors began busily preparing the second edition peppered with attractively photographed but otherwise fully-clad young women.
But, in keeping with the tradition of its American namesake, the second issue did carry well-written and informative articles including a profile of an Indonesian singing star; an interview with a convict sitting on death row; an article on land mine victims in Cambodia; and the
de rigueur
cuisine article highlighting regional cuisine.
And yes, Mom, believe it or not, in Indonesia we really do buy Playboy because of the interesting articles.

The Plant Tissue Culture Information Exchange and Other Applications of World Wide Web Technology to the Exchange of Scientific Information.
R. DANIEL LINEBERGER, Department of Horticultural Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-2133.
The World Wide Web was developed as a tool to exchange scientific information, and it has experienced explosive growth in number of users, ease of use, and range of applications. Present and near term benefits include distribution of scientific manuscripts cheaply and quickly to clients who are widely separated geographically, the inclusion of color images into these manuscripts, and the exchange of information about techniques, facilities, and people in formats not usually deemed appropriate for refereed journal publications. The computer equipment needed to access and provide information on the World Wide Web is usually standard equipment for most research and teaching labs, professional offices, public schools, and, increasingly, in homes. The skills to construct and manage Web sites is learned easily from on-line educational resources, and the software associated with the Web is becoming more powerful and user-friendly with each new release. While this discussion will focus on the technology and its application to scientific information exchange as it is currently practiced, some mention will be made of potential changes in the way scientists discover, analyze, and communicate information. For example, the technology will enable scientists to participate in the organization and analysis of experiments, observe experiments in progress from a distance, and make decisions on the basis of experiments that were completed at another location in the world only hours or minutes before! The technology also poses interesting questions about the way scientific results are peer reviewed and protected as intellectual property.

(The Root) — In the face of a crushing $265 million deficit and $13.2 billion in long-term structural debt, it was either sign a consent agreement, file for bankruptcy or accept the fate of a state-appointed emergency manager, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing told The Root about two weeks ago in an exclusive interview.
The former NBA star and business owner, who was elected in May 2009, chose to sign the consent agreement under which he is required to create positions of a new chief financial officer, a project management director and nine-member financial advisory board to help run the city. He has also developed a spending plan to trim more than 2,500 of the city's 10,800 jobs and cut $250 million in annual expenses. And last week he announced the appointment of Jack Martin, a former emergency manager of a public school system outside of Detroit, as chief financial officer.
Bing himself is on the road to recovery. He was beset by health woes in March and April when the consent agreement came up for a vote at the city council. He was hospitalized twice: treated for a perforated intestine and released, and treated for acute pulmonary embolism in his lungs and released. Several weeks after returning to work, Bing checked in with The Root.
TR: Why did it take so long to come up with a plan to save the city?
DB: I don't think there is a plan to save the city at this point. I don't think anybody externally and in some cases internally here in the city of Detroit understood the depth and the width of the problems that we have. We're talking about problems that go back 40 years, and there is no way any plan that anybody puts together is going to solve the problems short-term. We've approached some of the issues as a city both from a short-term and long-term standpoint. We're constantly changing things because the economy continues to change.
TR: Some have argued that the city was on the verge of bankruptcy and some critics argue that you only pursued the consent agreement after the state threatened a takeover by an emergency manager. Is that a fair or unfair assessment?
DB: When I came into office, we were in a financial crisis. I just finished my third year in office. We are still in a financial crisis because of the kind of problems we inherited. And the state, based on a law, had the ability to come in with an emergency manager to repair things, but a vast majority of the citizens of Detroit were against it.
I think the same thing is true for bankruptcy. Nobody seems to value a bankruptcy at this point in time. From my position, I had two options: Sign the consent agreement or let an emergency manager come in. We opted to sign the agreement. And we're working with the state to make some financial changes in terms of how we do business in the city of Detroit.
TR: There have been reports that the city is still on the verge of bankruptcy. Is that true?
DB: Everybody who thinks they know a little about what goes on in the city has an opinion in terms of what we ought to be doing. My constant retort to that is you are not here, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I think the governor and I are on the same page when I say that bankruptcy would not be good for the city, nor would it be good for the state. So we're not dealing with that thought at all.

Roasted Game Hen
Roasted Game Hens: Perfect Party Fare
Cornish game hens are very young chickens that weigh less than 2 pounds. Don't get confused by their name. They are not a game bird, so their flavor is very mild. Sweet or savory marinades bring out their tender texture and juicy flavor.
Combining both whole-grain and creamy Dijon-style mustards here gives this marinade and glaze an intense mustard flavor without overpowering it. Orange juice and honey add a touch of sweetness. This citrus-mustard sauce acts as both and marinade and a glaze.
Perfect for parties, these small hens are easy to prepare and serve for a dinner party. Make sure to offer a sharp knife for cutting into the hens. If your guests aren't big eaters, you can cut the hens in half with poultry shears and serve each a half. I usually make a few extra halves for those who want seconds.
If you like rosemary, you can add a teaspoon of chopped up fresh rosemary leaves to the marinade and garnish the hens with a rosemary sprig for a pretty presentation. You can also use this marinade on pork tenderloin chicken breasts.
Roasted Cornish Hens with Orange-Honey-Mustard Glaze
Serves 6
Marinade and Glaze:
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped orange zest
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Cornish Hens, about 1 1/2 pounds each
Orange slices, for garnish
1. In a nonaluminum bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Taste for seasoning.
2. Carefully separate the skin from the hens by placing your fingers gently under the skin and loosening it. Place the hens in the bowl. Massage the marinade underneath the skin. Rotate the hens until they are completely covered with the marinade. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a large jellyroll pan or roasting pan with foil. Remove hens from marinade and place them in pan. Roast the hens for 40-45 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until the hens are golden brown and lightly glazed.
4. Place the hens on a platter or individual serving plates and garnish with orange slices.
Advance Preparation: This may be prepared 4 hours ahead through step 2 and refrigerated. This is also good served cold on a luncheon buffet.

Life with Janis Joplin
Like a lot of younger brothers, Michael Joplin spent his childhood looking up to his older sister. He wanted to be just like her, admired her talent and creativity, and all his friends thought she was pretty cool.
Of course, Michael Joplin was different from other little brothers in that his cool older sister was Janis Joplin, the queen of rock 'n' roll. No big deal ... she only performed at Woodstock and on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Ten years younger than Janis, Michael has spent the 43 years since her tragic death doing his brotherly duty in protecting his sister's legacy. He and his sister Laura were instrumental in the development of the hit show "One Night With Janis Joplin," which runs in Milwaukee at the Quadracci Powerhouse as a special event at the end of the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 2012-13 season.
Part concert experience, part musical journey, the show is an intimate look at Joplin's musical genius as well as an homage to the artists who shaped her. It has been a huge success in previous cities like Portland, Cleveland and Washington, D.C., proving that Janis Joplin's influence on American music is as potent as ever.
OnMilwaukee.com sat down with Michael Joplin to talk about how he remembers his beloved older sister and how this show encapsulates her unique musical spirit.
OnMilwaukee.com: So you and your sister Laura are coming to Milwaukee for the opening, right?
Michael Joplin: Yes. I'm excited. I like to see the show in different venues, I really enjoy the stage of Milwaukee, from what I've seen – I like the intimacy of it – the stage is right by the audience.
OMC: Can you talk about your sister's legacy in showing that rock and roll music is not just a man's world? Do you think that's something a new generation is discovering now?
MJ: I think new generations rediscover that type of thing over and over and over again. It's part of their role, to rediscover stuff like that. I think Janis was – in many ways – a wall-breaker, a glass-ceiling-smasher. She was willing to take risks. She was a female rock star when that had never been seen before. All the other women had been like – you know, I love Grace Slick to death, she was a beautiful woman singing beautiful songs in a rock and roll way, (but) Janis just said, "I'm just gonna let it rip." A lot of guys have copied her since then.
OMC: When did you first realize that your sister was a rock star?
MJ: We were watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" ... you know, holy ... put some exclamation points and ampersands and stuff right there! (laughs) My parents had the whole neighborhood come over to watch, because not everybody had TV so there was like all these people over and we're like, "Oh my God, she's on there with Senor Wences." It was amazingly cool, that was kind of it, for our family – this is the real deal. The next day in high school was awesome.
OMC: Can you share how you personally remember Janis after all these years? We all know her as the icon, the personality and the voice, but to you, of course, she's something different entirely.
MJ: Janis was always – I don't want to say taking risks because that has too many weird connotations, but willing to try other stuff. I remember her painting a lot, and I guess that's what I keyed in on because that's what I wanted to do. And watching her and how she would copy the masters to see what the technique was like, because you know there was no art teacher – art class in high school is not exactly the same – she was testing paint, I just always found that fascinating to watch her work through the process and I know she carried that type of talent over into a lot of other things but that was the – she was always laughing and making jokes, you know. Ollder sister, I wanted to be just like her.
OMC: Do you feel like there's a discrepancy in the way that people remember this iconic person that the whole world knows about and the girl that you know as your sister?
MJ: Most of the time the public perception I don't necessarily agree with because they didn't know her and they see her in one way. And for many years I tried to persuade them that's not how she was, until I realized that the public defines an icon, not necessarily the other way around. So people have defined her in the way that they need her to be, as for her folk-hero aspects. That's – whether or not the truth is really there is kind of immaterial. Grains of truth are always there. That's something that I've thought about a lot.
OMC: How do you feel watching this particular representation of Janis and her impact on American music?
MJ: You know, it's such a great cast. And watching her persona affect the audience again is fascinating. What I really like about the play is the roots of her music and where it came from, so there's a bit of family and a bit of honesty and a bit of folk hero stuff in this show so that you walk away with more respect and more understanding about what was actually happening. When people are standing up screaming – which people never do in the theater, I – it's so gratifying and so much fun to watch people enjoying it. I really enjoy the audience and how they react to it.
OMC: I'm sure you love all your sister's music but do you have a favorite song?
MJ: Oh, it varies. I like a lot of them...I can't really do that, because it does vary so much depending on what's happening that day for me personally. I'm gonna say "Little Girl Blue" is one of my favorite songs because it's the way that I remember her singing. So it makes it more real to me.
"One Night With Janis" runs May 3-June 2 at the Quadracci Powerhouse, 108 E. Wells St. For more information, visit milwaukeerep.com.

LARGO — They have played in different classifications, against difficult competition. They have withstood the graduation of several star players, some of whom are now in the NFL. They have persevered through devastating season-ending injuries.
Yet for nearly a decade, the Largo Packers have found a way to ratchet up the intensity when the games matter most. Friday, Largo (7-0, 3-0) plays at Bradenton Lakewood Ranch with the Class 6A, District 7 title on the line. If the Packers win, it will be their eighth straight district title and 30th consecutive district victory, both county records.
"It's been a tremendous run," Largo coach Rick Rodriguez said. "Whatever changes we go through, we find a way to get it done."
At the beginning of the season, there were lingering questions about whether the Packers could maintain their streak. How would Largo's small, inexperienced offensive and defensive lines hold up? How would the Packers fare without a strong kicking game? How much would a lack of depth take its toll?
The questions were valid before the season, but have mostly vanished since Largo has established its customary residence atop the district standings. The Packers are cruising toward another title, but cruising in a different way. The reliance on a devastating run game has been complemented by an awesome passing attack.
After all those years watching backs such as Dexter McCluster (Ole Miss/Kansas City Chiefs) and Brynn Harvey (UCF) pile up yards in record-setting fashion, fans are now watching pinball offense.
Juwan Brown has been electric at quarterback, using his feet, as well as his arm, to score points in bunches.
But Brown is a game-time decision after bruising his shoulder in last week's win over Boca Ciega. No matter. Donavan Hale will get the start and has plenty of deep threats at his disposal, including Raheem Harvey and Reggie Campbell.
"Juwan said he could play, but we want to be safe and go this route," Rodriguez said. "We'll see how Juwan is doing and decide whether he gets in the game or not."
Injuries are nothing new to Largo, who have seen plenty of players banged up over the past three seasons, including Brown in 2010. That year, the Packers learned the single-wing offense on the fly and used it to wrap up their sixth district title.
"Our coaches have been a big part of our success, too," Rodriguez said. "We have a lot of continuity on our staff."
Every coach on the current staff has been part of Largo's eight-year district run.
Another factor is the abundance of playmakers. If Hale struggles throwing tonight, he can always hand off to Jarvis Stewart, who scored four touchdowns last week. Derrick Doss is always capable of returning a kick for a score. And the defense, led by Harry Brown, can turn turnovers into touchdowns.
"It's just a tradition we have here of winning district titles," Brown said. "We have so much talent that comes through here. And we have a lot of athletes who can play any skill position. It's just a matter of us working hard to keep it going."

Take the 64-Bit Plunge?
My PC has an Athlon 64 CPU and is currently running Windows XP Home. I'm thinking of installing the 64-bit edition of Windows XP. What are the chances of hardware incompatibilities, and what kind of hardware does my PC need to handle the new OS?
Ian Smith, Denver
Kirk's law states: Never buy the first version of a hardware or software product. You may think this sounds like cynical advice, but over my many years of computing it has proven to be sound.
If you're set on switching to 64- bit Windows, first click here to read PC World's evaluation of an early release, "64-Bit Windows? Wait for Longhorn," from last July. Microsoft's minimum requirements for Windows XP X64 aren't too intimidating: a 64-bit CPU with a clock speed of at least 733 MHz, 1GB of RAM, and 1.5GB of free disk space. If you do install the new OS, I expect that your biggest hardware headaches will involve device drivers. Most devices requiring a driver utility will need a new 64-bit version. Windows XP X64 will include drivers for many, but not all, current devices. Hard drives, optical drives, and other devices that connect via ATA or newer SATA ports, for example, shouldn't pose a problem. But I guarantee that a few printers, network cards, and other older devices, especially those from lesser-known manufacturers, will be left driverless under XP X64, just as they were during the transition to Windows XP a few years back, and during every other major OS upgrade as it rolled out.

Making School Lunch
Back to school shopping this weekend for kid's clothes. Sure wish Michigan had one of those "tax-free" shopping weekends. We'll also be getting our pantry restocked for school lunches. Vanessa and I usually split those duties, one week I'll make lunches, next week she will. Funny, the kids always know who made the lunch. Dad's sandwiches are not nearly as uniform or pleasing to the eye. Vanessa obsesses over making sure the condiments are spread evenly and equally across each piece of bread. Me, I just slap em together and get it over with.
Paula Deen is getting the nod as the celebrity chef most would want to have packing their kids' school lunches. Thirty-five-percent of those taking part in a FoodNetwork.com poll say they'd prefer sending their children off with a meal prepared by the star who's know for her down-home Southern cuisine. But Giada De Laurentiis takes a rather close second place, as the choice of 28-percent. Just 17-percent would want Bobby Flay to handle the chore, while Rachael Ray would get the call from just 14-percent. Melissa D'Arabian trails the pack with just seven-percent of the vote.

Reported rape
There has been a report of a rape on campus over the weekend of April 15 and 16. A campus safety alert that was to be distributed to the campus community Tuesday morning was received by The Cleveland Stater through Joe Valencic, director of public relations, and detailed the alleged attack.
Cleveland Stater through Joe Valencic, director of public relations, and explained the alleged attack.The reported rape was described in the safety alert to have occurred over the weekend, in a women's public bathroom at some time during the afternoon.
The Cleveland Stater has found out through a source that the alleged attack took place in a third floor bathroom in Stillwell Hall. That information has been confirmed by other reliable sources.
The alleged assailant was described as a brown-skinned male, 5'10" to 6' tall with a muscular build, short hair, light facial hair growth, a clean appearance and wearing gray, warm-up style clothing. There is no composite drawing of the suspect at presstime.
Upon initial questioning, Valencic said that he could not give details, but that Lester Mitchell, interim chief of CSU police, was in charge of the investigation. Attempts to reach Mitchell Monday night were unsuccessful.
Also contacted were detectives David Ostroske and Vincent Colbert of the CSU police department. Colbert said he could not release any information about the alleged attack. When asked why he could not release the information, Colbert said that Valencic should be contacted.
Ostroske said he could not give out information.
He said that the university had named Mitchell and Valencic as official contacts about the alleged attack.
Valencic was contacted for a second time Monday evening, but still refused to give out any information that was not included within the campus safety advisory. Mitchell, who was reached on Tuesday, said during a 4:15 p.m. interview, that he would not give out additional information at that time.
Valencic and Mitchell said that they did not want to give out any further information because it could help identify the victim.
"If this had been about a robbery, it would have been completely different," said Mitchell. Valencic would not answer questions such as where the attack took place on campus, what specific time, if the attacker was waiting in the bathroom, or followed the victim in from the outside, whether any weapons were used in the attack or if any injuries were sustained.
"We are
asking the campus community to be alert," Valencic said.
When told that the Stater had found out through other sources where the alleged incident took place, Mitchell said that he would neither confirm nor deny any specific location. Alan Strickler, a detective in the Cleveland Police Department's sex crimes unit, was also contacted. He confirmed that there had been report of an occurrence at CSU, but said that he could not give out any further information.
Strickler also said that the CPD would meet with the CSU police about the incident sometime this week. The reported rape is the first such case reported at CSU since a 1994 report of a date-rape incident.
Information on the incident can be sent to Ostroske at firstname.lastname@example.com, Colbert at email@example.com or to CSU police at 687-2020.
For safety reasons, people are asked to beware of their surroundings, to alert someone of their whereabouts if on campus during off hours, to try not to be alone after hours, to use well-lit public walkways, to keep their cars locked, to know the locations of phones on campus and to report any suspicious activity.
Anyone on campus also can contact the campus safety escort at any time by calling 687-2020.
'Customers first' is Meszaros' motto
By Krysta Roberto
Gary Meszaros, director of Auxiliary Services at CSU, noted in an interview April 17 that ARAMARK is the main food provider on campus, and its contract expires June 30, 2002.
As of now CSU is planning a long-term partnership with the company, he said. Panini's contract ends June 30, 2001, he continued, and as of now no decisions have been made on renewing its contract or having a new company take over.
He said CSU is happy with Panini's, and it wants to have what the students want to have on campus. When asked if he had any plans to improve CSU's food services, Meszaros said that is being handled through ARAMARK at the regional level.
Meszaros said however that his goal is to "get what the people want." He said he would like to have food services on campus stay open longer, and it is his belief that extending hours will help grow business.
Meszaros has been at CSU as director of Auxiliary Services since January. He has been in the field for 18 years at Case Western University in parking, and director of Auxiliary Services at Western Kentucky University. He is a CSU graduate.
Auxiliary Services director seeks to satisfy CSU customers
He explained that the CSU Bookstore, The Convocation Center, Campus Dining, Parking Services, Residence Life, Contact Administration and The VikingCard office are all part of the Auxiliary Services division at Cleveland State University.
According to its website, Auxiliary Services' mission is to provide optimum quality services to students, faculty, staff and visitors, while adhering to the mission of CSU.
Its philosophy
is that the customer is always right, and it will strive to exceed customers'
Meszaros said his goal is make sure that the mission statement satisfies all members of the CSU community.
In another area of concern, Meszaros, along with John Oden, director of parking services, is on a task force of students, faculty and staff set up to improve the campus parking situation.
The group is considering shuttle bus availability for students who park in lots far from campus and different rates for parking passes based on where the student lives.
However, no plans have been finalized, he said. When asked if he had any plans on improving student housing, Meszaros said that his goal is to get a waiting list for students to live in the dorm. He said that Viking Hall is a clean, quiet environment students should take advantage of.
He noted the many staff changes taking place at Viking Hall, and said he is searching for a director of residence life. He said ads have been placed locally and in national publications.
According to Meszaros, "you have to spend money to make money," Overall, Meszaros said, his goal is to satisfy the customer and to provide the best service on campus he possibly can.
These departments
receive no funding from the State of Ohio or from the university and are
self supporting, Meszaros said.
Research directs campus ad campaign
By Rebecca Grauel
You have seen them in the airport, on VH1, in The Plain Dealer and on Carnegie Avenue. You have heard them on the radio. But do you know what goes into the advertisements for Cleveland State University? Joseph Valencic, director, and Brian Johnston, manager, in the Department of Public Relations and Publications, are well aware of the work that goes into conceptualizing and implementing a CSU ad campaign. They have been intimately involved in the project since its inception.
The ad campaign, scheduled to begin its second stage in the next month, began as a result of a market research study done in 1995, according to Valencic. After review, it was discovered that the CSU did not have an identifiably good or bad image; it was considered to be a big school, located downtown, and not particularly known for any good or bad reasons, Johnston said.
In response to this information, the administration and the board of trustees established a budget to launch an image campaign. The goal was to establish CSU as one of Northeast Ohio's best kept secrets, both as an institution of higher learning and as a valuable community partner, with quality graduates and research sources, Johnston said.
In addition, through the use of focus groups, it was discovered that the most important feature a university had to offer was a warm, approachable and caring faculty. A faculty with which students would feel comfortable interacting.
So another goal
became to establish an image that says that you can learn from dedicated
professors who care, in an economically accessible, geographically accessible
university, Valencic said.
College deans were asked to suggest professors who, based on enthusiasm and attitude, would transfer well to radio and TV. Articulation and positive attitude were key qualities, said Johnston. To date, 14 professors have appeared, representing all of the colleges. The ads are done interview style. Questions are asked off camera and the person responds. This is a relaxed casual style, Johnston said, and it is the best technique to show the desired traits.
The professors were given points to consider and were aware of the questions that would be asked, but the interviews were not scripted, Johnston said. A spring follow-up study was done to determine CSU's current standing among its key audiences, to measure changes from the 1995 study, and to provide direction for future CSU communication efforts.
Telephone interviews were conducted with CSU students, high school students and guidance counselors, business leaders and others. According to the study, CSU now enjoys the highest advertising recall of all Northeast Ohio universities. In addition, according to Johnston, CSU's recognition was up in every measured audience category.
The lowest rise
was the business community, but, as this had been anticipated, the marketing
team was already re-focusing the campaign to increase its reach to this
audience, Johnston added.
Two prototypes were shown, one designed for business media such as Crain's Cleveland Business, CNN and CNBC, and one designed for more general media such as The Plain Dealer and billboards.
The re-study showed that awareness in the business community rose from 13 percent to 20 percent between 1995 and 1999, but Johnston said a Stage II goal is to increase that figure. "We want to reach more opinion leaders, stressing the advantages of the various partnerships available through CSU. Those partnerships create a cycle involving corporate leaders, alumni and students."
The prototypes used a local industry, a recent grad, a successful alum and a professor to illustrate how the cyclical partnership comes to fruition. The ads are designed to highlight the successful working partnership between CSU students, alumni and the business community, Valencic said.
CSU is not alone in its ad campaign efforts. An article appearing in the Feb. 17 issue of The Akron Beacon Journal featured examples of ads from Miami University, University of Akron and Kent State University. Campaign goals varied from image makeover to increasing minority applications.
The article
cited several reasons for this increase in advertising, including rising
competition in the higher education marketplace and the desire to attract
higher-caliber students and faculty.
Actor Drew Carey to speak at commencement May 7
By Patricia Soltesz
The 2000 commencement will be held on Sunday, May 7 at the CSU Convocation Center. The first ceremony will begin at 9:30 and will feature Drew Carey as the keynote speaker.

|Lecture - July 10th, from 7 pm
|Andreas Uebele "more luring than leading"
Friday, Juli 10th 2009, from 7 pm.
Augustenstr. 87-89
Parrotta Contemporary Art Stuttgart
"figures form a living layer: in baroque churches, the walls vanish behind the sculptures that decorate them, their brightly coloured garments fluttering through the interior. they tell stories, but at the same time they point to a higher order. the formal order suggests the meaning to be con veyed. at their best, systems that serve to provide factual information at the same time enrich colour and form. their design points to the function of their setting - albeit generally a more mundane one." andreas uebele
Dear Madame and Sirs, dear friends.
Within the exhibition Andreas Uebele "Type in space" you and your friends are cordialy invited to the talk "more luring than leading": in this talk Andreas Uebele will present and visualise a concentrated choice of his recent works.

Those functions provide similar capabilities to the accessor functions that hstore has. Perhaps also this will help. Here is the list of functions and operators as currently implemented. I also have working operators for the get_path functions which will be in a future patch. All these are used in the included regression tests.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Paris today, preparing to make the U.S. government's first formal contact with Libyan rebels and to talk with allies about a possible no-fly zone to block Moammar Gadhafi's air force.
Clinton's meetings also include French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the first world leader to formally recognize an interim council as Libya's legitimate government.
Details on Clinton's meeting with the Libyan opposition in Paris were still being determined when she arrived, underscoring the administration's lack of clarity as to who is who in the movement that has sprung up to topple Gadhafi from the perch he has held for 42 years.
Clinton's trip comes amid increasing pressure on the Obama administration to take action against Gadhafi's regime, including a New York Times op-ed today entitled, "Fiddling While Libya Burns."
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton, cited the Arab League's endorsement of a no-fly zone in writing:
Any use of force must be carefully and fully debated, but that debate has now been had. It's been raging for a week, during which almost every Arab country has come on board calling for a no-flight zone and Colonel Qaddafi continues to gain ground. It is time to act.

The creature, which roamed the Earth 66m years ago, has been named Dracorex hogwartsia - a reference to the school attended by Harry and his wizard pals.
It had a knobbly, spiky head and its remains are on show at the Children's Museum Of Indianapolis in the US.
JK said the "unexpected honour" was a big hit with her dinosaur-mad children.
"I am absolutely thrilled to think that Hogwarts has made a small (claw?) mark upon the fascinating world of dinosaurs," she added.
The dino's skull was discovered in the US state of South Dakota in 2003.
A dinosaur expert said the creature was "a very special dinosaur that seemed at home in a Harry Potter adventure".
He added that the plant-eating creature was about as big as a large horse and its most spectacular feature was his armour-plated head, with spikes, horns and crests.
"I was staring at the skull last summer, and the name just popped into my head - hogwartsia," he said.
