CONCORD, N.C. – Coming off of his first top-five of the season, Michael Annett is headed to Chicagoland Speedway with a new look. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver will introduce the STP Ford to the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) at the one-and-a-half-mile track. STP is a long-time supporter of Richard Petty and the No. 43 and will also serve as the title sponsor for the NNS event this weekend. The Des Moines, Iowa native has six starts at Chicago, accumulating one top-five (Summer 2012) and three top-10 finishes (Summer 2011, 2012 and Fall 2012). His average starting position is 17.7 and his average finishing is 11.3. Annett posted his best start of eighth at the track in the fall of last year and earned his best finish of fifth that summer. The top-five finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last weekend was Annett's seventh career top-five in the NNS and earned him eligibility for the Dash 4 Cash program for the STP 300. Annett qualified for the Dash 4 Cash program at this race last year and followed up with a strong performance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where he won the $100,000 bonus for being the highest finishing regular NNS driver. He hopes for a repeat performance as the top finishing NNS driver at Chicago. Fans attending the STP 300 will have a few chances to meet Annett. He will be participating in the NNS autograph session on Saturday, July 20th from 5-6 p.m. CT followed by an appearance at the speedway's trackside party from 6:05 – 6:20 p.m. CT, both events are located at Champion's Park. Comments from the No. 43 STP Ford Mustang driver Michael Annett: "I'm really looking forward to this weekend in Chicago. Not only do we have STP on the car, but we're qualified for a chance to win the Dash 4 Cash bonus. It felt really good to get the first top-five of the season out of the way last week, and we're definitely ready for more. We had two good runs at this track last year, and I can't wait to see how we can build on that this year. Plus, this is where we qualified for the Dash 4 Cash last year, so to come back this year and win $100,000 here would be pretty good. "To me, it's really cool that we'll have STP on the car this weekend. I think when everyone thinks of Richard Petty they think of STP and vice versa, so it's definitely an honor to drive the No. 43 with the STP logo on it. You have a lot of surreal moments working for Richard Petty, and I think this is definitely one of them." Comments from Crew Chief Philippe Lopez on Chicago: "Loudon was a good weekend for us, I wish we had a little more speed, but we definitely had a eighth, ninth, tenth-place car for most of the day. The way the things worked out with fuel mileage and restarts, Michael did a phenomenal job on all three green-white-checkered restarts, getting a spot every time. It was just a nice race, and it's been a long time coming, It seems like this whole year we've had something happen to prevent us from getting solid finishes. Last weekend, we ran our race, and he got a top-five out of it. Hopefully, we will carry the momentum and put a little kick in everybody's step. "We ran very well at Chicago last year. I feel like we have a really good set-up there. We've been doing some really cool stuff this year and trying some different packages, but I'm pretty sure we're going to unload just like we did last year and work off that. "It is really cool to have STP on the car this weekend, aside from the Dash 4 Cash, everybody was looking forward to this race because it's obvious who we work for and Richard Petty is synonymous with STP. It's like a perfect storm; we've got the perfect sponsor for the King going into a Dash 4 Cash weekend." Chassis History: Lopez and the No. 43 STP team prepared chassis 729 which was previously raced at Charlotte Motor Speedway earlier this year. Annett finished 17th at Charlotte after overcoming a speeding penalty and receiving damage from on-track incident. -Breaking Limits PR

|Giovanni Giardino
Executive Chef
Chef Quang Dang began his culinary career at West, where he worked as junior sous chef. Over the next five years, while honing his technique in some of Vancouver's finest kitchens, Quang quickly established himself as an advocate of sustainability and a champion of West Coast cuisine, a role that he continues to undertake in defining his approach to modern cookery.
Raised in Calgary, Alberta with family roots that stretch back to Scotland and the orchards and rice fields of Vietnam, Chef Dang originally moved to Vancouver in 1998 to finish his engineering degree and fulfill a dream to train for the Olympics with Canada's national field hockey team. Part-time positions in the hospitality industry soon won him over, though, and his culinary career began in earnest. Quang went on to compete in a number of international food competitions such as the Bocuse D'Or in Lyon France, the National Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in Winnipeg and as a Canadian representative at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels, the largest of its kind.
Quang returned 'home' to West as Executive Chef in September 2011. "Every day brings a new adventure," he says, "defined by the seasons and the extraordinary ingredients available to us in Vancouver. It is my privilege to work alongside one of the finest culinary and service brigades in the country."
Restaurant Director + Wine Director
Owen Knowlton moved from his native Ontario to Lake Louise, Alberta to follow his love of skiing; after joining the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise he quickly became enamored with the hospitality industry and his enthusiasm for wine began to grow.
Since then his career path has traveled through Australia's prestigious bars, restaurants and wine regions before heading back to Canada to Banff's renowned Rimrock Resort Hotel, where as Maitre'd & Sommelier, he was responsible for developing the highly acclaimed wine collection. Moving on to Vancouver, Knowlton was led by a desire to explore Canada's hottest dining city and joined the long established Le Crocodile, as Maitre'd of the French fine-dining restaurant.
At West he now enjoys being part of the team who run one of Vancouver's most progressive and celebrated restaurants. As Wine Director, Knowlton nurtures and grows the acclaimed selection adding carefully to the five hundred label list, always conscious to pass on value, quality and diversity when selecting new wines. His ambitions are to develop the wine list and educate the service team to assist guests in discovering new food and wine combinations that will ultimately heighten the dining experience at West.
Sommelier of the Year, Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival, 2011
Pastry Chef
Born and raised in Vancouver, accomplished Pastry Chef Rhonda Viani has over 15 years of professional cooking experience. An inspirational teacher in high school first sparked her enthusiasm for cooking, baking and pastry and encouraged her to pursue a career in the kitchen.
Following an apprenticeship at Michel Jacob's Le Crocodile, Viani's career has progressed to include time spent in many prestigious kitchens, including notably, four years at Chocolate Arts, under chocolatier-patissier Gregg Hook, two years as Pastry Chef at Lumiere and most recently stints as Pastry Chef at both Marque Restaurant in Sydney, Australia and at Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island. Viani has developed a style she describes as "simple and fun; dishes are not overloaded with ingredients, but focused on allowing natural flavours to stand out and speak for themselves."
This approach, combined with Viani's creative talent, delivered her first place in the Quady Essencia Dessert Competition in 2000. She was also the Patissier for Team BC, which was awarded gold at the International Apprentice Competition in Toronto in 1993.
At West, Viani's dessert menu changes with the seasons, featuring fresh fruits and chocolate desserts combined with local herbs for regional flavour. The finest selection of local and international cheese is complemented with walnut and raisin bread, made daily along with a variety of sorbets, ice creams, chocolates and petits fours.
Restaurant Manager
Giovanni Giardino started in the hospitality industry in his hometown of Winnipeg before going west to Vancouver in 1992, he landed at South Granville's Carnegie's Bar and Grill where he tended bar until the turn of the century. Giovanni then set his sights on one of the most critically acclaimed and highly awarded restaurants in Vancouver, West, where he tended the cherry wood bar for five years. In 2005 he enriched his development as the Barman at Le Crocodile with the inimitable Michel Jacob.
In 2008, Giovanni was invited to join the opening team at Campagnolo Restaurant as Bar Manager. Giovanni's extensive knowledge and gracious approach to customer service earned him the coveted Vancouver Magazine 'Premier Crew' service award in 2011. Giovanni's expertise was further recognized when he accepted the position of General Manager at Campagnolo Restaurant in 2012.
Giovanni took over as GM at Campagnolo Roma in the fall of 2013, and celebrated winning best Casual Italian restaurant at the Vancouver Magazine awards in 2014. That same year, Giovanni seamlessly rejoined Owen Knowlton's team as Restaurant Manager, where he continues to enrich guests' dining experiences nightly, utilizing one of the finest brigades in Vancouver's stellar dining community.

Boards and commissions are an established feature of Austin's municipal government. State, federal and Charter provisions establish several of the City's boards and commissions, while most result from the passage of ordinances. Boards and commissions address a multitude of topics including planning, zoning, transportation, parks, libraries and the airport. Their influence and value are significant because they lend a more diverse viewpoint for the City Council to consider, by offering citizens an opportunity to participate in the City's governmental process. A full list of the current City of Austin boards and commissions is available on the City of Austin website.
Coordinating appointments to City of Austin boards and commissions are overseen by the City of Austin Office of the City Clerk. The City Clerk website is also a clearinghouse for disseminating information about boards and commissions to the public. However, each board and commission has an advising representative from a relevant corresponding city department. The Planning Commission has city staff from the Planning and Development Review Department assigned to it. Board and commission members must be nominated by a member of the City Council.
The Austin 150 Commission was created in 1988 by the Austin City Council to coordinate plans for the celebration of the City of Austin's sesquicentennial in 1989. The commission was created by City Council Ordinance 870903-A and was co-chaired Frank Cooksey and Maline McCalla. The first meeting was held on June 16, 1988 and attended by Karen F. Begeman, Frank C. Cooksey, Willie Kocurek, Eva V. Limon, Roy B. Mann, Maline McCalla, Shannon E. McCann, John McKenzie, French N. Smith, III, Danny Young, Charles Bass, Audrey Bateman, Ron Wood and Everett Daniel. Projects initiated by the Commission were: a birthday party as the Capitol celebrating the 1839 appointment of a commission to select the site for the Capital of Texas; Congress Avenue Bridge lighting design competition; music and arts festival at Zilker park; birthday banners on Congress Avenue and 6th Street; Ethnic Heritage Folk Festival at Auditorium Shores; a commemorative bronze marker; and the
The Austin 150 Commission materials include a small collection (.2 linear feet) of papers that highlight the plans for the celebration of the City of Austin's sesquicentennial. The materials document the logo contest, the Lights on Town Lake, and the "Star of Texas" song. Also included are photographs of the reenactment and the stone marker being placed into position.
In addition the Austin 150 Commission created a two volume

Post subject: Guessing the 2013 season
Since we do only have a little more than 1 month before preseason begins, figured I'd take a stab at how the 2013 schedule might play out for us
@SF - I think we can probably hold them below 45 this time around but I still think they're just that 1 step ahead of most other NFC teams right now and after almost winning the superbowl, they're likely to come out looking to go back and with a good start. So I'll have to say something like 31-24 niners in this one.
vs Was - Another read option QB in 2 weeks, not gonna be easy for the defense but i think a real key in this game is gonna be being able to stop Alfred Morris. RG3 gets all the credit but a real factor for his success has been Alfred Morris. I don't think we can shut down the redskins offense but if we can limit morris, I think we can contain them enough to keep them from lighting up the scoreboard. I think it'll be close but we'll escape with a 34-31 win or something like that.
@ Cin - This time I think we see the team play like the team we all know. Andy Dalton just does not convince me he's gonna take the bengals to the next level. He can win 8 or more games in a season sure, but he's not anything real spectacular, and Marv Lewis's job should be on the line this year, because there comes a point where just making the playoffs doesn't cut it, and right now, I think the organization wants to see more than that out of the team, but as long as he's coach, they won't get it. Packers take this one 24-10 or something like that.
vs Det - Detroit will hang tough in this one but the drought of not winning at Lambeau will continue. Packers 28 Lions 21
@ Bal - Hard to say what to expect here, the defending superbowl champions just lost 9 key players from their run last year and are now entering the post Ray Lewis era. Really don't know what to call here but I'm gonna say something like 23-20 Packers with a win.
vs Cle - Not much to say here, Packers 42 Browns 10 or something like that.
@ Min - Winning in the metrodome just is never easy no matter what the circumstance. While I don't think Minny will quite duplicate the 10-6 record of last year i still think they do enough in this game to get away with a win. Vikes 27 Packers 20.
vs Chi - A struggling bears team that's making the adjustments comes to the well-established Packers house. While it is a rivalry game and while the bears defense has always kept games close against us, I do think the loss of Idonije is gonna be rough on them and allow more blockers to get downfield on Briggs and co and allow more running room for Lacy in this one. Think the packers take this one 21-7.
vs Phi - Don't know what to fully expect here but once again a team going into a new coaching era and still sticking with Michael Vick who while he can be good is always a liability for error on that field is coming to town. While the Eagles could be a bit improved the Packers are still the ones to take this 35-21 or something like that.
@ NYG - Well this has now become one of our unofficial out of division rivalries as of late and it should be a good one. I don't know if I can make a call on this one because you just never know how the Giants are gonna play. If the bad Eli shows up the Packers win this one easy. If the good Eli shows up the giants probably win by 7-10 points.
vs Min - Revenge game here, with the game in Lambeau and out in the colder weather now, think I gotta stick with the Pack taking it 38-17 or something like that.
@ Det - The Thanksgiving Day special once again returns to television this year and the Pack are on it. Detroit is coming off that 4-12 record last year and even though they dropped the game earlier this season to us, they're likely to come back on a rebound this game. Think I gotta say Detroit 34 Pack 27
vs Atl - It's at home, and it's the perfect time of year, December night in Lambeau Field. Even though I think Atlanta will be decent this year, no team has ever won the NFC south back to back years, and I expect the Falcons will be dropped a bit from last year's record. Pack take this one 30-20 I think.
@ Dal - Now this is one game I'm gonna be real interested to see how it plays out. It's crazy to think after taking trips down to Irving, TX all throughout the 90s that we've only been down there 1 time since 1999, but hey, after all that I'd say we were long due for a trip there. The key note here, we haven't won down there since 1989, but that was pre-Brett Favre, and now we're gonna be down here for the first time in 21 years without Brett Favre as QB, and man oh man I am so glad he is not there anymore, he always guaranteed that games down in Jerry's house were losses for us. Rodgers and Romo have now met 2x and each have won a piece Romo in 2008, Rodgers in 2009, Romo did not play the 2010 game against us. But now you gotta wonder, will the Cowboys toss out their so-called beloved QB if the season meets short of expectations, or are they sticking a free pass for him to stay in there until he makes a retirement speech? I don't know what to predict here, but if Romo has his usual December bad luck, the Packers are gonna snap the losing streak down here and win 37-28.
vs Pitt - The renewal of Superbowl XLV comes to Lambeau this week, and oddly enough Rothlisberger seems to have gone rather downhill since he lost that game. I'll have to see how they look coming into this one but my conventional wisdom tells me even though they may have a winning record and may even win the AFC North, that division is just not very strong this year and their defense is not what it once was. I'm gonna say Packers 27 Steelers 14.
@ Chi - Chicago may start seeing improvement at this point in the season in their offensive scheme and overall play, and if Green Bay at this point doesn't have anything really to play for, they may sit the starters for this one and let Chicago have one. I'll say Bears 24 Pack 20.

Interesting post but it is not easy to predict how we'll do week to week, let alone an entire season beforehand. Injuries alone can be the difference. We weren't the same team in December than we were in September last season.

Well no of course not and most teams are not the same by seasons end as they are when they start out, because if they were I'm pretty sure the Ravens last year and us in 2010 would not have gone to the superbowls of those years.
I just enjoy thinking about what might happen in advance.
It's gonna be quite a season with interesting games on the horizon, I'm really curious to see how RG3 does in his 2nd year of football, what the Ravens look like now that Ray, Ed, and a few other of their famous players over the years are gone now, what's gonna happen in the trip down to dallas now that we don't got brett favre to worry about, and just how far gone the steelers have gone since they were the top in the AFC when we played them last.
Lotta interesting games ahead.

I think GB will lose at least one division game, pick between MIN/CHI, and lose the opener to @SF and another @NYG. Could see us lose a tough one @BAL or @CIN.
So, yeah.. 12-4 probably.

My tried and true formula goes like this:
1) More important to win home games than road games.
2) More important to win division games than non-division games.
3) More important to win conference games than non-conference games.
4) More important to beat non-playoff teams than playoff teams (win the games you're supposed to win).
Applying this formula to the schedule and our schedule looks like this, from most winnable to least:
1) Lions. A home game, a division game, against a non-playoff team.
2) Bears. Ditto.
3) Eagles. Home, conference, non-playoff
4) Browns. Home, non-conference, non-playoff.
5) @ Cowboys. Road, conference, non-playoff.
6) Vikings. Home, division, playoff.
7) Falcons. Home, conference, playoff.
8 ) Steelers. Home, non-conference, playoff
9) @ Lions Road, division, non-playoff.
10) @ Bears. Ditto.
11) @Vikings . Road, division, playoff.
12) @Giants. Road, conference, playoff.
13) Redskins. Home, conference, playoff.
14) @Bengals. Road, non-conference, playoff
15) @49ers Road, conference, playoff.
16) @Ravens. Road, non-conference, playoff
I see the game at the Giants as more difficult than the Vikings because I think they're just a better team. Ditto the Lions and Bears.
If we win 10 of the first 12 we'll win the division. I think that winning any of the last five would really be an accomplishment.

@ SF-With a vastly improved running game and after nabbing one of, if not THE highest rated RO defender in the draft in Datone Jones, I do believe it'll be significantly closer this time around than last January, however, I sadly don't feel it'll be enough to beat a hungry and motivated SF team at home in week 1, who will want to show the world they're out for blood after losing the SB back in February. I'd say SF 31-24.
vs Washington-Geez, could they have picked a more brutal first couple games to kick off our season than against 2 explosive RO teams? Plus, Washington's getting arguably their 2 best defenders (Carriker and Orakpo) back and they shored up their secondary in the draft while also getting their top Safety from last year back from injury (Merriweather), so their defense could be better than you may realize this year, if not significantly so. Fortunately, this one's at home and while it'll be one of our tougher home games on our schedule next year, my gut tells me we'll escape with a narrow win. Seriously, though, we could very easily start the year 0-2 with these first couple games. Sheesh.
@ Cincinnati-my gut tells me we'll lose one of our road games at either Baltimore or Cincinnati, but not both, and it could honestly go either way. The Bengals finally have some weapons on offense while their defense remains one of the league's best, so kinda like week 2, it'll be one of our more competitive games on our schedule this year, but I think we'll take this one in a nailbitter.
vs Detroit-The Lions may rebound a bit from last year's disappointing 4-12 record with a somewhat improved defense, but their long losing streak at Lambeau will continue here. Pack by 2 or 3 scores.
@ Baltimore-this is the one I feel we'll lose between the 2 aforementioned road games. BTW, I beg to differ on Baltimore's team compared to last year, the FA's they've added: OLB Elvis Dumervil, FS Michael Huff, and DL Chris Canty and Marcus Spears should better the overall production from the guys they've lost at said positions: OLB Paul Kruger and FS Ed Reed, and draftee's SS Matt Elam and ILB Arthur Brown should both instantly produce more than SS Bernard Pollard and ILB Ray Lewis did last year at age 37, respectively. Tough call, but I'll say we'll win @ Cincy and lose to the defending champs in their house.
vs Cleveland-we should take this one pretty handily, and although we do have a habbit of sometimes playing down to our opponents (see: our home games against Jacksonville and Arizona last year), I can easily pencil this one in as a win, being at home and playing against a team learning a new defense and not expected to be in serious contention for their division.
@ Minnesota-winning at the Metrodome is never easy, and while we'll be one of the tougher home games on their schedule next year, I think they'll take this one in a close one.
vs Chicago-Cutler has not shown any ability to play consistently well against us, particularly at home, and while their defense is still legit, I think our long winning streak at home against Da Bears will continue.
vs Philly-new defense, new system, plus the jury's still out on whether Vick can still be a starting QB in this league since the freefall from his 2010 MVP-worthy season. While the Eagles may be improved from last year, I still think we take this one at home.
@ NYG-Geez, do we really have to play these guys at Met Life for the 3rd year in a row? As much as I'd like to say we'll walk out with a win here, I sadly don't know if I can judging by recent history, though our vastly improved running game, compounded by seeing how bad they were defensively last year,
against the run, with no major additions (they've merely replaced guys they've lost last year on the DL and at LB) gives me a small glimmer of hope. Our OL should hopefully be fully healthy and protect Rodgers better this time around, too. Pencil this one as a sleeper pick game, I guess, but by default, I'll sadly say we lose this one. Maybe I'm wrong, and by God, I hope I am, but I'll go with my gut on this one.
vs Minnesota-we'll get our revenge on the Vikes and win at home, ultimately splitting with them.
@ Detroit-I'll say we'll win in a close one here simply because we play well indoors and while I expect the Lions to be a little improved from last year, this is still one of our on paper more winnable road games on our schedule this year. Like most of the other games on our schedule, though, it could easily go the other way around.
vs Atlanta-Kinda like Washington in week 2, this is easily one of our tougher home games on our schedule. Atlanta's improved secondary and running game should make them even more dangerous this year than last, but this is not a team that fairs well outdoors, so by simple process of elimination, I'll say we win in a close one here.
@ Dallas-Easily a 50/50 game, but history says Romo will likely have one of his usual December performances, and if that happens, we'll take this one hands down. It all comes down to how Romo performs, as Arlington isn't exactly a place where we don't have a winning tradition (see: Super Bowl XLV). Tough call, but I'll say we barely squeeze out another close win here. It could very easily go down as an L on our schedule, though.
vs Pittsburgh-another very tough game to call, and I also disagree with the OP on Pittsburgh. Their defense is still for real, as they were the top-ranked defense each of the last 2 seasons. However, their offense
on a small decline, and that's where my pick comes in. Rodgers has played exceptionally well against LeBeau's unit in each of the last 2 meetings (without throwing a single interception in either contest, if memory serves me), and our D should be at least somewhat improved with the "California Gold Rush" (whether this'll bring them back to being a top 5 D is much more wide open for discussion). Again, tough call, and Pittsburgh may rebound a bit from their surprising 8-8 finish last year, but I think we'll win a close one. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see it end differently, however, like most of the other games on our schedule.
@ Chicago-late December game at Soldier Field spells trouble for us, I think the Bears will get their revenge here and split with us, much like I have us splitting with the Vikes.

Wildfox 80's Star Swimsuit for July 4th – Just because you are already sitting down eating your BBQ for July 4th before you head out to the pool or beach for the rest of the July 4th weekend to watch more fireworks doesn't mean it is too late to get this 80's style one piece star swimsuit. I love the look of it because I just love stars on clothing. This blue and white one piece is perfect for July 4th but also perfect for the rest of the summer when you want to try out paddleboarding and wakeboarding. A one piece is a great way to keep you covered and looking great at the same time. This way there is no chance of a wave taking away your top or bottom while you are concentrating on paddling.
Wildfox star one piece swimsuit is available for $121

It's all about the sock.
It's what separates Bootights and Darby's from traditional hosiery. Designed to be worn with boots, they have an actual performance sock attached. Brilliant, right? It's the sock that make your feet feel incredibly comfy in your boots all day long. It's the sock that protects against snags and runs, making them more durable so they last longer. It's the sock that makes your life a little easier. It's one less thing to think about. No more scrounging around for the right socks to layer over your thin tights. It's all-in-one.
Done. Next.
But this isn't just any old sock. This sock is special.
When it comes to comfort, we mean business.
- • It's No Sweat! – Moisture-wicking fibers keep feet cool & dry.
- • Snug as a Bug – Compression arch support that hugs your feet for a contoured fit.
- • Just Venting – A strategically placed mesh zone provides supreme ventilation.
- • Walking on Clouds – Extra cushioning in the toe and heel, where you want it.
- • Toe the Line – Flat toe seam eliminates uncomfortable "tight toe."
Sock Heights
Bootights come in two sock heights , mid-calf for taller boots and ankle for your shorter boot styles. The mid-calf provide a little more warmth and a little more protection against rubbing boots and zipper snags. The ankle version provides more flexibility since they can be worn with almost all boot styles.
Our Wool Sock
The Bootights Sport collection features our wool blend sock, designed for warmth and comfort. The sock contains 70% wool for natural moisture management and temperature regulation, keeping feet cool and dry.The compression, mesh zones and extra cushioning make feet feel cushioned, cozy and comfy in all types of weather.
Attaching a quality sock to crappy hosiery doesn't do anybody any good. That's why we made sure that our tights are of a premium quality with attention to all the detail us gals care about.
The fact is that these tights were designed for the curvy gal in mind. I like my curves but I also like them to stay in place and I figured you do too.
- • Every-Course Knit – this is hosiery tech talk for a higher quality construction. This means more smoothing control, increased durability and less risk of snags and runs.
- • Control Yourself – I added a just the right amount of smoothing control without the constricting, sausage-like effect.
- • Roll with it - I widened the waistband and provided more give so it doesn't roll or cut into your waist. I'd rather have indigestion from a good Chicago deep dish than my tights pinching.
- • Divine Design – New styles, patterns, colors mean that there is something for everybody.

An attack on free speech
North Carolina is giving Steve Cooksey some choices. He can stop speaking. Or he can get a Ph.D. in nutrition, or a medical degree or a bachelor's degree in nutrition and then pass an examination after completing a 900-hour clinical internship. Or he can skip this onerous credentialing, keep speaking and risk prosecution.
He has chosen instead to get a lawyer. His case, argued by the libertarians at the Institute for Justice (IJ), will clarify the First Amendment's relevance to an ancient human behavior and a modern technology.
Four years ago, Cooksey was a walking collection of health risks. He was obese, lethargic, asthmatic, chronically ill and pre-diabetic. The diet advice he was getting from medical and other sources was, he decided, radically wrong. Rather than eat a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, he adopted what he and other enthusiasts call a Paleolithic diet, eating as primitive humans did — e.g., beef, pork, chicken, leafy green vegetables. Cooksey lost 75 pounds and the need for drugs and insulin. And, being a modern Paleo, he became a blogger, communicating his dietary opinions.
When a busybody notified North Carolina's Board of Dietetics/Nutrition that Cooksey was opining about which foods were and were not beneficial, the board launched a three-month investigation of his Internet writings and his dialogues with people who read and responded to them. The board sent him copies of his writings with red pen markings of such disapproved postings as: "I do suggest that your friend eat as I do and exercise the best they can."
"If," the board sternly said, "people are writing you with diabetic specific questions and you are responding, you are no longer just providing information — you are counseling — you need a license to provide this service." This had the intended effect of chilling his speech; his self-censorship stopped his blog. By saying his bloggings will be subject to continuous review, North Carolina hopes to silence him in perpetuity.
IJ's Jeff Rowes notes that Cooksey's speech "involves no sensitive relationship (as in psychological counseling), no uniquely vulnerable listeners (as in potential legal clients forced to make snap decisions), and no plausible presumption that the listeners are unable to exercise independent judgment." That presumption is, however, the animating principle of modern regulatory government.
North Carolina is uninterested in the fact that Cooksey's advice is unpaid, freely solicited and outside any context of a professional-client relationship. The state simply asserts that Cooksey's audience is "a uniquely vulnerable population," which is how paternalistic government views everybody all the time.
Were Cooksey blogging for profit to sell beef and other Paleolithic food, he would be free to advise anyone to improve his health by buying his wares. So his case raises two questions: Is an individual's uncompensated advice constitutionally protected? And does the Internet render many traditional forms of licensing obsolete?
People have been dispensing advice to one another since the advent of language and have been foisting dietary opinions since cavemen weighed the relative benefits of eating woolly mammoths or saber-toothed tigers. So IJ has two questions for North Carolina and for the judicial system:
Did Ann Landers and Dear Abby conduct 50-year crime sprees by offering unlicensed psychological advice? Is personal advice as constitutionally unprotected as child pornography? If so, since a 2010 Supreme Court opinion, it is less protected expression than videos of animals being tortured.

Happy Spring – although it doesn't feel like it here in our 30 – 40 degree weather (and did I mention, we are expecting a possible 10 inches of snow on Sunday?)…..but now that it's officially spring time and the sun seems to be shining through the clouds a little more often, I feel some of the fog and heaviness lifting.
To help along this lightening of spirits, I've been thinking of ways to take the time to see the beauty of right now and appreciate what I have and what is instead of what I wish, want or think should be – which really is, at times, the entire cause of unhappiness and unease.
In the spirit of this, I decided to share some of the little things I'm thankful for and that make me smile these days. Oddly enough, I noticed they are all in pairs.
Not sure what that means for now but like it.

Man Uses Slow Motion Video to Learn Why Cats Land on Their Feet [VIDEO]

No cats were harmed in the making of this video. At least that's why he says.
Although my attempt to learn guitar a several years ago failed, if I were to sit down and write out a bucket list, learning to play drums would be near the top...
Now you don't have to be an astronaut to enjoy a birds-eye view of this rock we call home.
Prepare to be blinded by science!
Total science geek-out moment in 3..2...1...
Hidden somewhere deep inside my head is a fascination with things that happen in the sky. The idea that cold air and warm air can mesh together and produce thunder, lightning, and rain amazes me. Even more amazing to me is what lies outside of what we can actually see, meaning outer space. The fact that a flare up on the sun can affect air traffic and cell phones some million miles away here on Earth is mind boggling to me. Now, thanks to a new video on YouTube, we mere mortals have an opportunity to get up close look at something we see every night, the moon.

News: WPA Not as Secure as WEP
Just when you thought it was finally safe to surf on a wireless network, along comes a research paper claiming the new Wi-Fi Protected Access security standard may be less secure than Wired Equivalent Privacy, the wireless standard that WPA was designed to replace. The paper, by a leading security expert, says WPA poses a number of problems, such as enabling attackers to "sniff" critical information from wireless traffic and discover the value of a wireless network's security key.

Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families was founded in 1977 by a group of prominent Arkansans who believed that children needed an "independent force to provide information and education to parents and citizens about our state's policies toward children and families."
For more than 30 years, AACF has provided leadership, research and advocacy to promote wide-ranging reforms that have improved the lives of Arkansas children, and we have never been afraid to lead the way when the need arose. Our work includes:
- Protecting Children. Through the years, AACF has played a major role in challenging Arkansas's juvenile justice and child welfare systems to perform better. In 1983, our research into juvenile court hearings led to a major overhaul of the state's juvenile justice system. Today we are part of several coalitions working on long-range reforms in both systems.
- Improving Children's Health. We led the effort to create ARKids First, which provides children's health insurance to working families. Since 1997, the rate of uninsured children in Arkansas has fallen from 21 percent to 9 percent. Now we're driving the state to cross the finish line to covering all kids by enrolling all eligible children and extending more options to families who can't afford private insurance.
- Fighting for Early Education and Out-of-School Opportunities. We have been a leader in the fight to make quality preschool available to at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds in the state. Beginning in 2003, AACF and others convinced the legislature to expand annual funding for pre-k by $100 million. As a result, the state can serve every at-risk 3- and 4-year-old. Now we're working expanding pre-k to more low-income children and we're leading a coalition fighting for high-quality afterschool and summer programs for children of all ages throughout the state.
- Promoting Economic Security. AACF is a champion for the economic well-being of Arkansas families. We have led efforts to make our tax and budget system more balanced, including recent victories of exempting most low-income families from the state income tax and closing down predatory payday lenders. Now we're working on securing a state earned income tax credit to help balance our regressive tax system.
AACF will continue being a voice for Arkansas kids when it comes to these issues and others. Only when improvements are made in these areas can Arkansas's children truly realize their full potential. And until that day arrives, AACF will continue fighting on their behalf.

"Contracts allow you to be irresponsible as a company," says Nelson. "You don't need to worry about keeping people happy and fulfilled. What we have created here—an incredible workspace, opportunities to learn and grow, and, most of all, great co-workers—is better than any contract."
Of course, he's talking about Pixar, where some of the most creative work on the planet happens. Pixar provided the animation for the blockbuster movies "Toy Story," "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles." It's also where creative genius Steve Jobs went after he left and before he returned to Apple.
The business strategy behind hiring employees instead of contractors is that an animated feature takes four or five years, with the last 18 months at a dead run.
"The problem with the Hollywood model [of hiring people on contract]," says Nelson, "is that it's generally the day you wrap production that you realize you've finally figured out how to work together."
Nelson knows about working with creative people. He's juggled knives on Broadway with the Flying Karamazov Brothers, acted and worked at Apple. Now, he teaches creativity, collaboration and meeting deadlines in courses from filmmaking to sculpture. Every Pixar employee is urged to put in up to four hours a week.
"Why teach drawing to accountants?" Nelson asks. "It teaches them to be more observant. There's no company on earth that wouldn't benefit from having people become more observant."
—Adapted from "How Pixar Adds a New School of Thought to Disney," William C. Taylor, Polly LaBarre, The New York Times.

The free courses are offered to assist early detection of noxious weeds in Montana and provide pesticide applicator credits.
The three-course series has been designed to assist with early detection and rapid response (EDRR) across Montana. The goal of EDRR is to recognize high priority plants and take action to manage them while populations are still small.
Often small plant populations can be eradicated or controlled with much less expense compared to large, well-established populations. A key aspect of EDRR is a well-educated citizenry that can recognize and accurately identify high priority weeds in the field.
The first course covers plant anatomy terms critical to plant identification.
The second course identifies diagnostic features of the highest priority noxious weeds for statewide EDRR. Weeds like flowering rush, rush skeletonweed, and Japanese knotweed are included. Many people have potentially never seen these weeds before since they are not widely established in Montana.
The third course covers diagnostic features of noxious weeds common in many areas of the state, including weeds like spotted knapweed, common tansy, and sulfur cinquefoil. Each course ends with a challenging quiz of the material presented.
The free online courses, which can take one to two hours per course to complete, are available to anyone interested in learning more about noxious weed identification. Private, commercial and governmental pesticide applicators can receive re-certification credits for completing the courses.
To access the courses, go to http://msuextension.org/learn/invasiveplants. If you are interested in learning more about the courses or have questions, please contact Hilary Parkinson, plant diagnostician for the MSU Schutter Diagnostic Lab, (406) 994-1871 or email@example.com; or Jane Mangold, MSU Extension Invasive Plant Specialist, (406) 994-5513 or email@example.com.

Washington DC (SPX) Jul 19, 2010
For 18 horrific hours on April 3, 1974, the largest and most cataclysmic tornado on record for a single 24-hour period took North America by storm. Actually, it was 148 tornadoes, which spun through and sacked 13 states and one Canadian province, ravaging some 900 square miles and killing 148 people.
An iconic photo snapped in the tragedy's aftermath speaks the proverbial thousand words: amid a landscape devastated, and houses crushed like eggshells, one thing remained intact, standing erect and defying nature's wrath: an interior bathroom of a single house, whose walls had not been connected to the rest of the house.
The photo demonstrated how a single room can withstand the wrath of a tornado and serve as a safe haven.
Today, a consortium of government officials and academics works to raise awareness about the life-saving capabilities of storm shelters.
The team is a who's who of researchers and atmospheric scientists and includes the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T); the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); the Southeast Region Research Initiative (SERRI); the Walt Disney World Resort; the International Code Council (ICC); the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes; and the Oak Ridge National Lab.
Their focus is a pilot project called the Resilient Home Program, which is funded in part by S&T's Infrastructure and Geophysical Division. The program incorporates newly revised guidance from FEMA on designs for basement, in-ground, and above-ground safe rooms; and an ICC standard, which specifies requirements for the design and construction of such sanctuaries.
The program takes place in the American Southeast, a region that draws tornadoes with a frequency and fury that rival the famous "tornado alley" of the Midwest. Making matters worse, the Southeast is a magnet for nocturnal storms, which strike between sunset and sunrise and often double the fatalities of their daytime counterparts.
Furthermore, the Southeast's population is particularly vulnerable to disasters, with large numbers of seniors and mobile homes.
Last year, tornadoes pummeled homes and farms in 18 FEMA-declared disasters, stretching from Florida, through the South, and up into Illinois. So far this year, tornadoes have been a part of six more disasters, most recently in Oklahoma and Mississippi. On May 10, 2010, at least 22 tornadoes tore through the Sooner State on a single day, ripping off metal roofs and killing several.
In the Magnolia State, an unusually high number of homes in the storm's path-more than half-were destroyed on April 24. Each flattened wooden frame left behind a reminder about the need for a pocket of space that can turn back a howling twister.
And the tornado season is far from over.
"The Resilient Home Program isn't a 30-page report that winds up in a binder on a bookshelf," says S&T program manager Mike Matthews.
"It's a roll-up-your-sleeves collaboration among many different entities - homeowners, builders, and insurers - that will help to fortify people's homes, lives and communities."
As Matthews sees it, the sooner families can return to their homes, the faster a community can recapture its vitality.
The team is undertaking a two-part process. First, the research: Why do some homeowners opt for safe rooms while others go without? Then the outreach: Use these findings to communicate with the public and the construction and insurance industries.
The team surveyed 822 homeowners in seven states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Participants were asked a battery of questions about their knowledge of and interest in safe rooms.
"The more we understand about how people perceive safe rooms, the more success we'll have in increasing their number," says Matthews.
From their answers, certain patterns emerged. For instance, homeowners are well-aware that safe rooms can save their lives. Yet they see little value in investing in something that would be used so little or perhaps not at all. For that kind of cash (about $10,000), they'd rather buy a home theater or remodel their kitchen.
So the team decided to brand safe rooms as a home-furnishing project-something fun rather than a necessary evil. After all, from bathrooms to bedrooms to boardrooms, there's a reality show on remodeling it.
The messaging was refined in March in focus groups with remodelers and builders. Further creative honing has continued in recent months via interviews with consumers and meetings with insurers to identify incentives that will defray construction costs.
In the meantime, the team is engaged in good old public relations, promoting Resilient Homes via TV segments, partnerships, speeches, workshops, demos-and outreach articles like this one.

Scarborough claims the conservative media AND pollsters lied!
Hahaha this is rich. Isn't this the guy that just a week and a half ago called out Nate Silver because his statistical analysis of the polls (which accurately predicted all 50 states in the election) was supposedly biased? Lol this is like Karl Rove arguing a week later that Romney should have conceded sooner...

2. I often don't agree with Joe but I do on this
I've looked at the polling in prior posts that leaves little doubt in my mind.
And I realize this conclusion isn't a shock to most around here. I mean the GOP party was pimping the biggest lying candidate in US election history.
But on top of what Frum said, there is some value in another conservative voice being added. Hopefully, it turns into a loud chorus

8. I don't disagree with that either
It does bring to mind the larger and more serious issue: the quality of the political media in general.
To some extent, the bogus GOP polls and the conservative pundit talking points didn't just affect FOX news - it poisoned a good portion of the mainstream media.
And that's been happening since before Obama got elected in 2008. It now seems to be standard procedure for the GOP to manipulate the "liberal media" they complain about.
They were successful to the extent that a lying SOB like Romney should never have been remotely close. And that began long before Romney was nominated - before McCain lost with the birther crap and all the other crap used to demonized and de-legitimizate Obama with bogus info or claims.
It's a pretty serious state of affairs when the great arbiter for democracy: the media, can be bought or so severely swayed in such a dishonest manner. All this election did was dodge that bullet. Anyone thinking this election stopped that crap is fooling themselves. Things like Citizens United need to get overturned and things like voter suppression stopped. On Remembrance Day, I'm sure the vast majority of dead soldiers didn't fight so that billionaires could buy elections and the vote of the average person could be suppressed. Those of my family who gave their lives sure didn't.

6. We hoped the conservative media and conservative pollsters were wrong. I didn't know for sure.
In hindsight, I believe they lied to themselves. Hindsight is 20-20.
What worries me is the lessons they take from the election.
Will they view this loss as a tactical loss where all they have to do is fix their views on immigration -or- will they change their political views on health care for all, increase their tolerance of the practices of others (Gays, Muslims, Women's issues), and give up on this idea of trickle-down economics (we tried trickle-down economics long enough to see it doesn't work).
I saw the third episode of
It was about J. P. Morgan.
In this episode, it described a process called Morganization.
My limited understanding of Morganization, from this episode, is the purchase of competing corporations within an industry, to reorganize them into an efficient money generating monopoly for the owners, to reduce costs, to fire workers through streamlining in the name of reducing labor costs, to have the remaining workers work longer and harder for lower pay.
This episode said the working conditions were much worse during Morgan's time than they are now. The episode said there was no comparison.
Even if a comparison is not fair, it is enlightening to know something similar happened in the past.
If I may be so bold, the difference now, companies now outsource work to foreign, cheaper labor or employ cheap, foreign labor. The effect is the same. The cost of labor goes down. The efficiency for the owners goes up. People work longer and harder for lower pay.
One can argue, with cheaper labor, products can be made more cheaply. This goes to the efficiency of production. When people in our country don't have work or can't earn enough to live on, it doesn't matter how cheaply the products can be made. One can't ignore the consumer side of the equation and focus solely on the production side of the equation. We need a healthy consumer class. We need a healthy middle class. We need good paying jobs for the middle class. The migration should be from the lower class to the middle class, not the other way around.

7. They were not lied too
I wrote this in another thread...
This new GOP talking point of "we were lied too by Fox News," is at best an oxymoron (if its spelled wrong then well I did it on purpose if it is spelled right I am a genius), but really it is not true.
I think they believed their own BS. In this case Faux Noise just repeated what the GOP was saying which was BS. Fact is they repeated it so much they all believed their opinions were fact. And that is sad.
Its sad because half of America is so out of touch with reality. Opinion is not fact. Everyone has opinions and most of them do not agree with yours. The GOP has a real tough problem dealing with this.
But the right wing news (term used lightly) outlets did not lie to their audiences, they just told them what they wanted to hear for two reasons. One they really believed it was true. Two - If they told the real story they would lose viewers and then lose money.

21. Sorry can't resist. You spelled it perfectly, but...
Being lied to by Fox is a tautology not an oxymoron. Bear with the grammar police a bit if you would.
Oxymorons are inherent contradictions such as jumbo shrimp or surgical bombing (or in more humorous vein, military intelligence or Australian culture).
Tautologies are redundancies in expression where the meaning of one term already is included in others, such as fundamental foundations or terrible catastrophes. Or indeed, Fox News falsehoods.
Not picking on you at all - just a wonderful way to use a trenchant expression in conversations with RWers, so it's better to get more technically precise.
You could make a case that the name Fox News itself is a bit of an oxymoron as Fox doesn't do what responsible people would define as genuine news, but a bit of a stretch since they do occasionally interrupt the fomenting of sedition to mention what's happening, in passing at least.
Sorry for the interruption.

12. Bingo! We have a winner
Joe doesn't work for the right wing entertainment industry complex thing. His show, well mostly him, and a couple of others on his network do have right leaning views. But his network is deemed as a left socialist bordering on Marxist brain washing evil news out let. Even though we all know better but I am regressing and getting off point.
My point is the same as the post I am replying to. If Joe was lied to then he is equally as guilty of lying as all he did was repeat what the right wing groups were reporting. And they weren't reporting. All of them had the same polls people like Nate Silver and Sam Wong (I think it was Wong might be Wang and no I'm not making fun of him - this guy is just as good as Silver). Its called cherry picking and then asserting your opinion on the polls you wanted to believe. Big difference from lying.
Joe is just trying to save face but it is to late. Actually it was too late last weekend (the weekend before the election). He looked worried but did he ever try to debunk the GOP talking points? Ummmm nope! So if they lied then he lied too.

if I had a dime for every time CHUCK TODD said romney was working on "expanding the map" and
chose to cherry pick polls to tout that showed a chance to tie in NV, PA, MN, WI, and MI
then I'd be able to buy a 30 second time slot for a democratic ad in 2014.

11. Let's start a new TV channel called Tea Party News
And we'll broadcast that the RW polls and media got it right, Republicans won in a landslide and the conservative agenda is the law of the land.
After all, it's not about news, it's about making your audience feel good about themselves. All we would need would be some SuperPAC sponsored advertisers and we'd immediately have 47.8% of the population as viewers.

The Gettysburg battlefield: geology's impact upon military history
Cuffey, Roger J.1, Inners, Jon D.2, Fleeger, Gary M.2, and Lane, Jennifer A.3, (1) Department of Geosciences, Pennsylvania State Univ, 412 Deike Bldg, University Park, PA 16802, firstname.lastname@example.com, (2) Pernnsylvania Geological Survey, 3240 Schoolhouse Road, Middletown, PA 17057, (3) Division of Paleontology (Vertebrate), American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024
The Gettysburg battlefield is a mile-wide lowland with low ridges on W and E. The lowland is on soft red shale to fine sandstone (lower Gettysburg Fmn; U. Triassic; floodplain or lake/playa deposits). The ridges are on hard basal-Jurassic diabase: Seminary Ridge on the W on a thin vertical dike of Rossville lower-Ti diabase, and Cemetery Ridge on the E on a thick west-dipping sill (Gettysburg Sill) of slightly older York Haven higher-Ti diabase. Both ends of Cemetery Ridge rise into higher hills eroded from the Gettysburg Sill: Cemetery + Culp's Hills to the NE, Little + Big Round Tops to the S. Further W of Seminary Ridge are low hills (McPherson + Herr Ridges), but developed on hard gray sandstone, redbeds, argillite, and black shale (Heidlersburg Member, mid-Gettysburg). By analogy with the Newark Basin, these strata appear cyclic, orbitally forced, arid and monsoonal tropical climates.
During the mid-Civil War (1863), 75 000 Confederates under Lee slowly moved Nward behind the Blue Ridge – South Mountain barrier, while 90 000 Union troops under Hooker (later Meade) remained E on the Piedmont to shield Washington. By late June, both armies converged on Gettysburg, due to the landscape's grain, the many roads radiating out from that town, and reports of possible supplies available there.
Early July 1, Confederates moving SE toward Gettysburg ran into Union troops coming N just W of town. Both sides began to fight vigorously, especially for McPherson Ridge, and ever more units fed into that conflict all day. By late afternoon, the Confederates prevailed and spread S along Seminary Ridge, while the Federals retreated through town and prepared positions on its S edge on Cemetery Ridge + Hill. Intense fighting continued July 2 as the Confederates attacked (unsuccessfully) the ends of the Union position, the S (Little Round Top) in the afternoon, the N (Cemetery + Culp's Hills) in the evening + night. July 3, Lee struck Meade's center on Cemetery Ridge. Like 1859's battle at Solferino, Lee heavily cannonaded the Union line, and then sent a massive infantry assault (under Pickett) across the lowland. As Pickett's troops neared Cemetery Ridge, the Union artillery opened a devastating fire, so that few Confederates were left when they got up to the Union line; hence, this frontal charge also failed. July 4, under heavy rain, both armies sat exhausted. The following night, the Confederates began withdrawing back to Virginia.

BWW Interviews: Stephen Pier - Heart to Hartt
Stephen Pier has achieved a uniquely rich and varied career as a dancer, teacher, and choreographer. His credits as a performer include many years with the José Limón Dance Company where the New York press hailed him as "...one of the most gifted dancers on the modern dance scene today." He went on to become a leading soloist with the Hamburg Ballet in Germany, performing the title roles in John Neumeier's Othello and Saint Matthew's Passion, and creating numerous other major roles during his nine years with the company. As a member of the Royal Danish Ballet for six years, Mr. Pier had the privilege of dancing leading roles in works of Bournonville, Balanchine, MacMillan, Bejart, and collaborating with many of Europe's finest contemporary choreographers.
Mr. Pier was invited to teach both the company and the school of the Royal Danish Ballet, and served as ballet master for the company from 1992-1996. He has taught on the faculty of the Alvin Ailey School, the Martha Graham Center, Regional Dance America, New York International Ballet Competition and for many notable companies in Europe, America and Asia, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Atlanta Ballet, Bat Dor, Introdans, Scapino Ballet (NL), Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, and the New National Theater (Tokyo). He was on the faculty of the Juilliard School from 1996 - 2010. His students have danced in companies around the world: The Royal Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, Martha Graham Company, Lar Lubovitch Company, Mark Morris Dance Company, Doug Varone Dancers, Cullberg Ballet, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, Alvin Ailey and Batsheva.
In 2004 Mr. Pier began PierGroupDance to explore and collaborate with dancers and artists in various art forms. He has created over 30 works for the concert stage, opera, theater, and film. His work has been presented by The Hamburg Ballet (Germany), Royal Danish Ballet, Royal Danish Theater, Royal Danish Opera, Bat Dor (Israel), The New National Theater (Japan), the Juilliard Dance Ensemble, The Di Capo Opera Company (NYC), Nilas Martins Dance Company, and the Dance on Film Festival at Lincoln Center. He was selected to be part of Jacob's Pillow Choreographer's Project in 1998. He co-founded and directed the emerging choreographer's workshop, "Danses", at the Royal Danish Ballet 1990-1996
Stephen was the Artistic Director of Juilliard's innovative Mentoring Program from 2007 - 2010, and, in September 2008, he began a three year tenure as director of the new "Visions and Voices: Altria/ABT Women's Choreography Project" at American Ballet Theater. In October of 2009 he was recruited for the position of Director of the Dance Division at The Hartt School, University of Hartford. Since his arrival, the program has taken on new national and international significance and attracted leading faculty and guest artists from around the globe.
Broadwayworld Dance recently sat down to interview Mr. Pier.
I was watching a YouTube video, and you quoted Joseph Campbell's "Follow your bliss." Would you characterize your career in that way?
Most definitely. As soon as I made the bold decision to step into that river, it swept me along. Somehow, the right person or the right event kept showing up at just the opportune time and propelled me forward. Perhaps it was because I just opened myself up to it, and there was no turning back or equivocation in my mind. There were so many people who tried to discourage me from pursuing a career in dance. I was a late starter, 16 years old, but I was extraordinarily fortunate and extraordinarily stubborn. I could do a lot of things such as science, writing, sports, music, acting, fairly effortlessly, but, when I met dance, it was different. It was something unfathomably deep. It wasn't easy at all, because I sensed how all encompassing it was.
Did you start your career as a modern dancer or ballet dancer?
I started as a modern dancer. I despised ballet because I was rebellious, impatient, and immature. There were too many rules I had to master before I could actually dance. It was reminiscent of my playing the violin; I tried and failed for the same reasons. Added to this was an uninspiring teacher who squashed any possible interest I might develop.
Your came to New York at 19 to study at Juilliard. How did that come about?
At an early point in my career I met a former Limón dancer named Libby Nye. She was teaching at ADF in New London in those days, and I had hitched a ride out there one summer from Iowa. She was the person who originally encouraged me to come to New York and audition for Juilliard. I left Juilliard after a year or so to study with Alfredo Corvino and Libby. I needed a more precise and focused training than I was getting there. When I studied with Alfredo Corvino I fell in love with ballet as a science and an art. I finally understood what it all meant. I attribute all of this to Alfredo, who showed me that it was a classical art form to which I could aspire.
You began your career with the Limon Company. Tell me more about that.
While I was studying with Libby, I discovered this incredibly deep connection to Limón's technique and repertory. It was as natural to me as breathing. It wasn't just the technique, but the concept of a man dancing this way, the physicality, the mode of expression, the beautiful fusion of formalism and expression. I auditioned for Limón and was accepted. I got to dance in so much of the company's beautiful repertoire, Missa Brevis, The Unsung, Psalm, There is a Time, and Carlotta. I had especially rich experiences working with Lucas Hoving, who taught me his roles in Moor's Pavane and There is a Time. I also worked with Daniel Nagrin, who taught me Indeterminate Figure and Strange Hero. That's the kind of work I cut my teeth on. That set the template from which I would work for my entire career. Of course, I have added a lot to that over the years, but that period shaped many of my core beliefs and approach to dance.
After Limon you went to the Hamburg Ballet. How exactly did you get there?
It seems as if I was led there. I was invited to dance in the Nijinsky Gala in Hamburg as a guest artist. I had never heard of John Neumeier or the Hamburg Ballet. So while I was there I saw his Illusionen wie Schwanensee and Romeo and Juliet and took class with the company. I loved what I saw: a really intelligent, personal, and informed synthesis of ballet and modern techniques and aesthetics. I told John I wanted to work with him and asked if he had any openings. Where I got the courage to do that I will never know; it is uncharacteristic of me. He sat a chair down in the first wing during my performance and watched my solo. Afterwards, he said he liked my dancing very much but didn't have any openings. I took it as a very polite, "Don't call us, we'll call you," and went back to New York. Three months later, I received a telegram from him asking me to join the company in March. I was ecstatic, but felt I had to honor my contract with Limón and couldn't start until August. I thought I had probably ruined my big chance. Much to my surprise, John accepted.
You danced in many of John Neumeier's works. They have always aroused a great deal of controversy. What would you say about them?
What I loved most about that period was working with a choreographer who possessed a distinct vision, passion, and dedication to his art. We also related very well to one another as artists. I learned so much from him. He entrusted me with great roles like Othello, Tybalt, St Matthew's Passion, Mahler 3 Solo, and he created a lot of things specifically for my style of dancing. He played a great part in mentoring my early choreographic efforts. It was also in Hamburg that I met two teachers who had an enormous influence on my work: Truman Finney and Irene Iakobson, Leonid Iakobson's wife, who had studied with Vaganova.
You then went to the Royal Danish Ballet. Did you find this difficult, or was your dance background outstanding preparation for working with the Danes?
That was insane! I was taking company class, rehearsing, then Bournonville classes with the ten year olds in Kirsten Ralov's class during the break, then more rehearsals and/or performances in the evening. When I was with Limón I was the "Ballet" dancer, when I was in Hamburg and Denmark, I was the "Modern" dancer. Whatever! I just danced and let other people apply the labels. What I did find interesting with the Bournonville style is that it related very much to Limón in its sense of weight. I loved the fall and rebound in the jumping, the sophisticated musicality, and the unique way of cutting space. Again, it was really designed as a technique and aesthetic from a masculine point of view. Bournonville, Limón, and Neumeier all have that thing in common: they were passionate about elevating the male as a dance artist.
You had an unusual wide repertory with the Royal Danish Ballet. Were there any choreographers you found more rewarding than others?
