Grant Hill (above) felt the need to reply to Jalen Rose after being called an Uncle Tom because of his middle class upbringing. Photo by Jeff Lewis
Grant Hill offers rebuttal to Jalen Rose's comments during ESPN film where Duke players were labeled "Uncle Toms."
By Michael Brown,
Sentinel Sports Writer
ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose said on a recent show that he thinks Duke still wouldn't recruit a kid like him when he was 17 years old, but would recruit his kids.
In a nutshell, that statement Rose made on the ESPN show, 1st and 10, said it all. It should put to bed the furor that's been caused since ESPN aired the documentary, "The Fab Five," two weeks ago.
During the film, Rose called Black players Duke recruited "Uncle Toms," implying that the private school only recruited a certain type of African American student-athlete. Rose made those comments as an 18-year-old in the early '90s and not as a retired NBA player and well respected analyst in 2011.
But as has become customary in America these days, people hear what they want to hear and take what they want from someone's comments, while ignoring the intent or the bare truth.
An example would be Grant Hill's op-ed piece in the New York Times last week when he rebutted Rose's comments and insisted he was proud of his family's accomplishments and academic achievement.
Hill wrote it was "pathetic" to see his friends (Michigan players) "…to some degree, disparaging my parents for their education, work ethic and commitment to each other and to me."
Hill was careful not to direct any of the vitriol towards Rose that some in the largely White sports press have done. Instead, he opted to strike a measured tone in the end of his op-ed despite missing the point in its beginning.
So who's right and who's wrong?
I hate to straddle the fence, but they're both correct in their comments. Rose should be applauded for not backing off his original comments because as he's said in several interviews since, he was an 18-year-old kid without a "filter."
Growing up in inner city Detroit and playing in the public school league didn't net him any interest from Duke. Ironically, his teammate, Chris Webber, was recruited by Duke, but he attended a private school (Detroit Country Day H.S.) like another future Blue devil, Shane Battier.
It's no secret; certain college programs recruit different players. For instance, USC's Lane Kiffin can cast a wider net during recruiting due to the Trojans being a private school with more flexible academic standards as opposed to Stanford, which is more rigid academically.
Chances are, Kiffin can sit down in certain living rooms across America and recruit that ex-Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh couldn't.
This argument isn't so much as race based, but more about class. Those from well to do families with affluent backgrounds usually perform better academically than their counterparts on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder.
Where Black athletes and people run into trouble is when performing well academically is somehow associated with "acting White," while wallowing in ghetto life and embracing certain self-destructive behaviors becomes synonymous with "keeping it real."
I think our community has made great strides in eliminating the former while continuing to fight against the ladder, but there's still much work to be done. A way to eradicate this dilemma would be to not allow ourselves to be confined to the either/or false choice.
True, Rose likely wasn't recruited by Duke due to his background, but he didn't allow that to destroy his ambition. The Fab Five kids still attended Michigan and bettered their lives.
Rose's Uncle Tom comments weren't about disliking players such as Hill because he came from an affluent family. Rose said during the film that he was envious of the fact that Hill's parents were both college graduates, and didn't have to struggle like his mother did by working a low-wage job for 20 years.
Hill and the Black players at Duke have nothing to apologize for because they were going after the same thing Rose and his teammates were: NCAA championships and a better life. But at the same time, Hill's mistaken if he doesn't think his family's background had nothing to do with him being recruited by Duke.
There's no doubt that Duke will recruit an athlete that they think is "clean, acceptable and articulate" over a guy who may be a diamond in the rough. But again, that's not necessarily a race thing, but a class issue.
The fact that Rose wasn't recruited by Duke when he was a teenager, but that his kids would be because of his financial success speaks to this issue more than skin color.
Rose and Hill should be commended for potentially initiating a dialogue about the distinction.

All in a day's work!
Miranda Kerr snapped a selfie while on the set of her latest modeling campaign on Wednesday, Jan. 30.
The gorgeous Aussie was seen wearing a sexy navy lace robe as her glam squad put the finishing touches on her hair and makeup.
Kerr sat in front of a vanity as her hair set in curlers and her makeup artist applied powder to her famous face.
"Love from set today," she wrote on the Instagram pic.
Shortly before her glamorous snapshot, the 30-year-old also posted an interesting quote on the photo-sharing site.
The picture read, "Around here…we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things –Walt Disney (Meet the Robinsons)."
Hmmm…perhaps that has something to do with her former leading man, Orlando Bloom?
Regardless of the meaning behind the pic, Kerr has been adamant that there's no bad blood between the two.
"We're good friends [despite being separated]," she revealed during a recent interview. "We want the best for each other.
The amicable exes announced their separation after three years of marriage back in late October.
At the time, the two released a statement saying, "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."
They have since been spotted hanging out multiple times with their 3-year-old son, Flynn.

Leave it to Live! to celebrate Halloween with the biggest stars of 2013 — sort of.
Show co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan observed the holiday on Thursday, Oct. 31 with costume-filled fun, dressed as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Kate Middleton with Prince George and Breaking Bad's Walter White, among many other pop culture icons of today. The highlight from this year's special Halloween edition – portions of it taped in advance – was the dynamic duo's homage to Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's unforgettable, shock-inducing performance at the VMAs.
The chirpy personality made it clear on Live! Thursday: It was her day to twerk. Ripa, 43, dressed in the Bangerz singer's skimpy bear costume and nude-hued two-piece outfit from the 2013 MTV VMAs (complete with both knots atop her head), fully embraced the controversial young artist's memorable performance. She stuck her tongue out and danced provocatively against Strahan's Robin Thicke, and Robin Thicker, played by show producer Art Moore.
While Miley and Robin were the biggest hits of the personalities' whopping number of costume changes (50 according to one report), Ripa noted to the NY Post on Oct. 23 that each look was culturally relevant, take for example Kardashian and West. 6 ft. 5 in. Strahan towered over 5 ft. 3 in. Ripa, even after the fit personality had wedged her feet into platform pumps.
Another big-name couple featured on Thursday's show was Tiger Woods and his lady Olympian Lindsey Vonn. Ripa dressed in Vonn's ski gear and Strahan, clad in the golf pro's recognizable look, gave the camera a fierce stare.
"I try to lock onto one thing identifiable in their appearance or personality," Ripa noted, while her partner-in-crime said of the frequent costume changes, "You have fun with it. You gotta laugh at yourself with this job."
The blonde beauty, whose role as Hayley Vaughan on All My Children helped launch her career, allowed her inner actress to shine in several TV show-themed costumes. In one look, Ripa channeled Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman while Strahan stood tall as Walter White in his yellow hazmat suit. Although the series ended in September, the characters clearly live on thanks to these two.

Coulter: Homoeopathic Sketches of Children`s
 Types

 Causticum
 (HAHNEMANN'S SPECIAL PREPARATION OF LIME AND BISULPHATE OF POTASH)

 Similar to Lycopodium, the Causticum child gives the impression of being well-balanced, both socially and emotionally, with his manners and temper under good control. Like Lycopodium, too, he feels at ease in most social situations, and (most significant), innately accepting human nature as is, he possesses a talent for making others feel comfortable
 in his presence. He also knows how to cooperate in a group; is himself energized, not depleted, by peer companionship; and in fact, regards a day without socializing as a day not
 •worth living.
 Causticum's social adroitness stems from not only a fine attunement to another's sensibilities but also a sympathetic nature—
 a characteristic he possesses in abundance, at times to the point of becoming too easily upset over others' pains or problems.For example, the child might develop physical symptoms
 (something as concrete as joint pains) following a quarrel between family members or between friends, even if it does not concern him directly. Or he gets too deeply or lastingly involved in children's sandbox wars. This sympathy can extend to all living creatures. A woman was relating how her eight-year-old daughter was, alone in the family, strictly vegetarian. "We as a family are more or less vegetarians. That is, we like to consider ourselves 'polite vegetarians,' eating what is served when dining out. Deborah, however, will not compromise. In fact, as soon as she learned to speak she would, when eating meat,inquire, 'What's it made of?' When told that the meat came from a chicken or a lamb, she would start crying and say, 'Poor chickie!' or 'Poor little lamb!' and push away her food, untasted."

 And another slightly younger Causticum girl would become upset when some insect or bug was swept out of the house or even wiped off her person, for fear it might be injured ("Don't
 brush it off, Mommy. Let it stay. I don't mind—really. Brushing it off might hurt it."). Once, at a family picnic, she even protested the brushing away of a colony of ants advancing towards the leftover food, crying out, "Don't do that! They must be hungry!
 Don't they have as much right to the food as we do?"
 Like Natrum muriaticum, the Causticum child might begin early in life to sense the essential sadness in this "world and exhibit periods of melancholy. The difference is that Natrum
 muriaticum's sadness is more deep-seated and tenacious, and affects the whole of his outlook on life; whereas with the more balanced Causticum, sadness has its place in the overall scheme of things. Even if felt acutely at the moment, or lingering for some time, sadness does not cause a distortion that will permanently affect his world view. When circumstances change, his attitude rights itself and a more cheerful outlook prevails. The type is not without its own particular weaknesses, however, the principal one of which is, with age and a growing
 security of social standing (and without entertaining overly high expectations of others' capacities), the child may become opinionated.
 This is not the Arsenicum album or Nux vomica who knows better than another about a given subject; nor is it the Sulphur boastfulness about some specific accomplishment.
 Causticum confidently airs his (not necessarily informed) opinions about everything and is ready to give advice to anyone— even to the expert in his own field. Thus an adolescent who
 knows very little about music will say to a friend who plays in the school band, "I don't see why on earth you bother with the saxophone, even if you do enjoy it. There is a much greater
 demand for the guitar. Also, you've got a good voice and then you can accompany your own singing if you want to earn some money..." Or another adolescent will challenge an older sibling who has decided which college to attend: "Why did you choose x? With your interest in architecture, you should really have chosen y or z, both of which have better art departments. Although I, personally, think you'd do better in engineering. Take
 it from me, that's where your real talent lies."
 If Causticum is quarrelsome, it is not from selfishness, an unreasonable willfulness, or anger at being thwarted in his designs, it is precisely because his opinions are being challenged.
 (Lycopodium has every bit as high an estimate of his own opinions and does not easily tolerate contradiction, but he is not as obvious about it; instead of quarreling, he hides his displeasure under an air of superior indifference or disdain.) But although this type might appear too insistent in his views and his ideas on management of his life, from being inherently sensible and conscientious (an old head on young shoulders) he tends to
 judge correctly what is best for him. Authority figures may well
 leave him to make his own decisions as early as age permits— and allow him to pursue his own course, even if this entails making a few mistakes. (Let him learn that he is not always
 right.)
 One additional difference between this child and Lycopodium should be noted. Causticum is "strong on justice." He expects the world and people to be just and, contrary to the
 above mentioned acceptance of people, grows dismayed when justice does not prevail. Lycopodium either instinctively senses the inevitable injustices of this world or simply is less concerned about justice. With him, the important point is not to permit himself to become distraught over this particular realization—but, accepting it, try to work with and through it to a higher good. This is how, later in life, he succeeds in the world of politics, law, and large institutions. Conversely, Causticum (like Natrum muriaticum) makes his mark in the world by actively pitting himself against injustice.
 Concluding with the mental-emotional picture of Causticum, one point to be borne in mind is that the child's impulses generally are benign. Even his tendency to be opinionated stems
 from a desire to assist erring humans resolve their problems or an off-balance world regain its equilibrium. This fundamental goodwill, combined 'with friendliness, an essentially balanced
 disposition, and a well thought through approach to life (he is one cautiously to test the waters before committing himself),causes the remedy to be prescribed to children primarily
 for some specific physical complaint rather than a behavioral disorder or emotional imbalance.

 A boy of four was brought to a homoeopath for twitchings and jerkings at night in bed. The overall physical picture suggested Causticum, and the physician, casting about for confirmatory mental symptoms, inquired of the mother whether her son had any particular stress in his home or nursery school to cause the nervous twitchings. At first she could not identify any stress, since the boy—the youngest of four children, adored by parents and siblings alike—was still at a stage in life wherein he felt as assured of happiness and never-ending love around him
 as of the supply of air and sunshine.
 "No stress that I am aware of," she replied, her mind drawing a blank. "Life to Jamie is one long carnival of fun and excitement, as far as I can see. I cannot pinpoint a single cause for
 distress. You see," she went on, "with older brothers and sisters,there's always something exciting going on and—" She stopped short. "That's it! Jamie is always trying to keep up with the older children. He is forever plotting how not to be left out. There's his stress."
 "And has he figured out the procedure?"
 "Oh, Jamie has a whole bag of tricks. If he wants to participate in a game, first come the promises: 'I promise not to cheat the rules' or 'I promise I won't be a painy neck'; or if it is a board or a card game that is in question, 'I promise I'll a'ways 'member to sit with my legs crossed...like this'—the way he is taught to sit quietly in nursery school. If he cannot think of what else to promise, he falls back on some dim notion of polite behavior: 'I promise to 'member to a'ways wash my hands before I play.' Finally, when he has exhausted all his charm and sly cunning, he pulls out his last stop: 'An' if you won't let me play, I won't
 invite you to my birthday party!' But, once he's allowed to join in their activities, his behavior is irreproachable."
 Causticum is most often prescribed for a child's enlarged glands; warts; growing pains; restlessness in the legs at night;the above-mentioned twitchings and jerkings of some part of
 the body when in bed; rheumatic joint pains, which may well be brought on by exposure to a cold wind; and for coughs "with (or from) a tickling in the throat or larynx: incessant, dry, night and day; the child cannot cough deep enough, the expectoration
 slips back again. Causticum is also given for bedwetting (as with Sepia often before midnight) or for the spurting of urine from coughing, sneezing, and laughing. Even though good
 physic-cal coordination (like good mental balance) is more often the norm, occasionally, the remedy is prescribed when isolated groups of muscles are impaired, causing speech defects
 or poor voice control, poor sphincter control, and muscular disabilities that affect the gross movements (the child is slow learning to walk or is unsteady on his feet) or the finer
 movements (difficulty in writing out his letters); or the child is simply clumsy in his movements. In terms of the more prominent modalities, wind, cold, drafts, change of weather or extremes of temperature bring on complaints; the child is better from
 warmth, motion (not too strenuous), and, paradoxically, from cold drinks.

 By Douglas M. Borland, M.B.,

 Another drug which is not nearly sufficiently used in the treatment of children and which is a counterpart of LYCOPODIUM, is CAUSTICUM. These children are not unlike the LYCOPODIUM types but are a little more sallow. The CAUSTICUM type of child is definitely more sensitive than LYCOPODIUM types. They are not sensitive to pain but are particularly sensitive to any emotional disturbance. Often these children will cry because they think you are hurting another child. It is idea of pain which affects them rather than the actual pain to themselves, and they often stand pain quite well, but cannot bear to see another child crying. They have much the same sort of clumsiness as the CALCAREA children; are rather unhandy, and are liable to strain muscles, whereas the CALCAREA children sprain ankles. They are inclined to suffer from rheumatism and liable to get acute muscular rheumatism, particularly from exposure.
 These CAUSTICUM children often suffer from acute torticollis or an acute facial palsy after exposure to an icy wind. Associated with this tendency to torticollis and facial palsy, the CAUSTICUM children get very definite growing pains which are usually accompanied by stiffness in or about the joints - a feeling as if their joints were tight. And linking up with the rheumatic tendency, the CAUSTICUM child when overworked or nervously distressed, is very likely to develop choreic symptoms, and the outstanding feature of the CAUSTICUM chorea is that jerking persists during sleep.
 The main distinguishing feature between the CAUSTICUM children and the LYCOPODIUM type is that CAUSTICUM children have a definite aversion for sweets whereas the LYCOPODIUM children desire them. Two other points would confirm the CAUSTICUM diagnosis.
 The first is that the rheumatic troubles of the CAUSTICUM child are very much better in damp weather; and the second is that a CAUSTICUM child with any digestive upset tends to develop acute thirst after meals. Two additional points which are sometimes useful-CAUSTICUM children often develop endless warts; they also have a very marked tendency to nocturnal enuresis.

The Mass Silence on Washington - Happening March 25 - The People's Call for Open Disclosure of Pedogate Investigations
For over half a century, the authorities of the world have sat back and allowed the most heinous of crimes to continue in series. During this time, these authorities have reluctantly arrested small portions of an enormous international pedophilia ring designed to provide "entertainment" to wealthy elitist during business trips.

These child trafficking rings are well-known in Europe and the United Kingdom. They are well known in Canada, the Philippines, and numerous other countries as well. We have seen these trafficking rings steal children from their homes by the thousand from their respective countries for all of this time, yet the authorities still do little to prevents these atrocities from taking place. Still, the various law enforcement agencies of the world refuse to attack these criminal organizations at their elitist roots.
Obama Originally "Furious" with Trump Over Wiretapping Allegations; Reportedly Goes into Hiding after Secret Service Revelations
The subject of the allegations of wiretapping of Trump Tower by former President Obama prior to the presidential election is a major topic in recent news. Corporate media typically makes light of such claims by current President Donald Trump with the apparent assumption that these claims would not hold up to investigation. It is understandable, considering the overly vocal tweeting which Trump has become known for, that the media might refrain from taking the accusation of wiretapping seriously. But could there be something more to this story than we have seen?

Recent revelations regarding pedophile rings run by and for the rich and powerful show that these are not isolated incidents and part of a systemic, global problem targeting defenseless children.
On #PizzaGate Censorship – Would News Really Be this Worrisome to the Establishment if it Were "Fake?"
Pedophilia scandals continue to emerge around the world year after year while the corporate media and law enforcement agencies alike fail to treat the sexual exploitation of minors as a global, systemic problem. As the number of child abuse scandals involving the rich and powerful continue to grow, it is becoming impossible to cover up that these instances of child sexual abuse and exploitation are globally organized and often run by the very same people who greatly influence society and politics.

It seems that the United States is undergoing a crisis in conscience. Flooded with a never-ending flow of bias opinionation from corporate media, many Americans have grown tired of only hearing about how negative the impact of the Trump presidency has been. It seems that this continual flow of bad—and many times fake—news from the corporate media has caused some people to forget what truly matters in life.

Vault 7 - CIA Hacking Tools Revealed by Wikileaks - Links and Commentary
Many of us have heard of the mysterious Wikileaks data dump known as Vault 7. This data dump revealed a variety of extremely sensitive secrets of the CIA, and could be considered the largest release of classified information in history.
We have seen many disclosures like this. However, this one in particular may show just how ready and willing many people are in the intelligence community to tell the American people the truth about the government we have been conditioned to revere.

Amazon Sells Out of Orwell's 1984 as America Starts Paying Attention to What's Really Going On
Source: Collective Evolution

George Orwell's 1984 is a classic book depicting a populace ruled by a political regime that persecutes individualism and independent critical thinking as "thoughtcrimes" that must be enforced by the "thought police." This party seeks power above all, and, through the propagandist Ministry of Truth, presents the people with their version of truth. Sound familiar?

The reality of the national pedophilia epidemic has grown more obvious by the day.

The practices of channeling and psychic divination date back for thousands of years. In millennia past, these skills were used as a means of communication, intelligence gathering, medical evaluation, and numerous other purposes. The use of our natural psychic ability has been commonly appreciated throughout history. It was not until recently that conventional science convinced modern society that this ability was invalid and nonexistent.

This week, I'm counting down my favorite Britney videos! Just one more day until Britney hits the stage at the Consol Energy Center! Today, I'm giving you a double shot of videos, because a Top 5 just wasn't enough. So, here we go…
The first song at #2 is '(You Drive Me) Crazy.' There were actually a couple of versions of this song. The album version that was on the '…Baby One More Time' album and the 'Stop! Remix' that was released as a single to radio and featured in the movie, 'Drive Me Crazy.'
The song was released in 1999 and made it to the Top 10 in the US, giving Britney her second Top 10 hit.

The second #2 video today comes from the last time I saw Britney on tour. The song was released in 2000, and reached the Top 10, giving Brit her 3rd Top 10 hit. The song also has a break in the middle that makes reference to James Cameron's movie from 1997, 'Titanic.'

What does it mean to be Living The Dream? The Dream is a symptom of a world where self-expression and experience are increasingly mediated and commodified.
The Dream plays out on laptops used for work and leisure, in networked coffee shops, airports, international "artistic enclaves" and nightclubs. Anxiety is its underside: those Living The Dream often do so in precarious financial situations, while in the background, ecological and economic systems lurch towards collapse.
The Dream is the (unintended) result of a century's worth of counter-culture.
The Dream is the status update.
The Dream is seamless creation and sharing.
The Dream is the history of music available at the click of a button.
The Dream is fleeting and highly combustible.
Music is one of the ultimate harbingers of an emergent Dreamstate. Its cultural capital expands even as its labor is gradually emptied of monetary value. Impacted by the new music-industry infrastructure, media companies and brands, a kind of global "underground" forms, where the insatiable drive to be fresh produces, paradoxically, more of the same. Nowhere is this more evident than the modern festival, where line-ups seem to become more homogenized, whether at mega-raves or smaller specialised events.
"The Dream is an act of auto-criticism and self-reflection aimed to trigger discussion," says Mat Schulz, Unsound artistic director. "It isn't meant to be negative, but inquisitive. Historically, The Dream stems from alternative and even oppositional artistic movements and social systems. Our question is, what remains of that subversive drive? In asking this, we realise we also open the position of our own festival to scrutiny, no doubt revealing contradictions."
Through a series of actions, films and most importantly talks, Unsound 2014 will explore these ideas, as well as consider their original source - counter-culture movements beginning with Dadaism, leading through the Beats, situationist movements, punk and onward. The Dream will also present pivotal musicians and artists whose success — or lack thereof — doesn't affect their refusal to compromise.
Already announced, SWANS will perform a long overdue Unsound debut, with the band's leader Michael Gira surely one of the most original figures in contemporary culture. Backed up by what is viewed as the best line up in the band's history and supporting their new album "To Be Kind", this promises to be a key point in the program.
Norway's DEATHPROD aka Helge Sten is perhaps best known as part of Supersilent. Largely working under the radar, his music has nevertheless been highly influential in its formulation of a dark ambient palette that has become so present in current music. Rarely performing, Deathprod will present the seminal album "Treetop Drive" at Unsound with the following line up: Helge Sten - audio virus, Hans Magnus Ryan - violin, Pekka Stokke - visuals, Christian Obermayer – sound.
CHRIS CARTER and COSEY FANNI TUTTI will appear in a trio with NIK VOID of Factory Floor to present CARTER TUTTI VOID. Thus far, Carter Tutti Void have only performed one live show, resulting in 2012's "Transverse", acclaimed as a classic live album. The Unsound show is part of a regrouping to present 'Transverse II', a second phase of live presentations of their collaborative work.
An Unsound-commissioned project sees REN SCHOFIELD - better known as CONTAINER - joining forces with Norwegian drummers KENNETH KAPSTAD and TOMAS JÄRMYR, who usually work within jazz, metal and electronic scenes. Kapstad and Jahrmyr will effectively take the role of "human drum machines", who via an elaborate series of contact microphones, effects and triggers will perform Schofield's music live. This project is co-curated with Mattis With.
Australia's THE NECKS and Austria's RADIAN are bands with a long history and resolute focus. Now they will bring their sounds together in a collaboration involving a total of six musicians that promises to be landmark event. Their Unsound concert will follow the premiere of the collaboration at the Graz festival Musikprotokoll, whose initiative has brought The Necks and Radian together.
Polish band KSIĘŻYC ("Moon" in English) has not been active since 1996, but continue to have a cult following thanks to their distinctive, experimental sound which combines vocals, acoustic instruments and tape and is influenced by minimalism, Slavic folk and psychedelia. Their only album is the self-titled "Księżyc" (1996), pressed on vinyl last year in an edition of 500 by the UK's Penultimate Press, generating interest and speculation about where and if they will reunite for a live show. Now the secret is out: Unsound 2014.
Icelandic/Australian musician BEN FROST has had a close relationship to Unsound since his first legendary performance at the festival in 2008 at St. Catherine's Church (you can listen to that here) and through the development of various projects including "Solaris". In 2012, Unsound also provided the platform for the initial live presentation of Ben Frost's new project with percussion and electronics, developed further and captured on his acclaimed album "A U R O R A". Ben will now present music from "A U R O R A" with light design by Marcel Weber aka MFO.
As always, Unsound will also present a wide program club and dance music. The first of many names yet to be announced includes Detroit producer DJ STINGRAY, a veteran in the world of techno/elektro, whose career ranges from performing as Drexciya's assault DJ to his Urban Tribe alias. Also added is New Jersey's JOEY ANDERSON, who has released one of the most distinctive albums of dance music in recent years, "After Forever", a deep, subtle and futuristic take on house music.
PERC's critically acclaimed album "The Power And The Glory" is both bold and unruly, twisting the often rigid form of UK techno into something personal. Taking her name from the female alter-alias of Dada artist Marcel Duchamp, incognito U.S. producer RROSE also draws on a techno template that incorporates drones, hallucinatory ambience and visceral noise. Poland's ZAMILSKA has captured a huge amount of national attention for her album "Untune", and like Perc and Rrose performs live at Unsound.
Coming from a different musical realm, TOTAL FREEDOM is part of the Fade To Mind collective, weaving pop and the outer regions of dance music in highly original yet effective ways that feel utterly contemporary.
Delving further into experimentation, TCF aka Lars Holdus is a Norwegian producer who uses technology to create forward sounding, immaculately produced music with widescreen vision. EVOL call their project as "computer music for hooligans". Their Unsound Festival New York 2014 appearance was described by the New York Times as: "both heady and bedeviling. Steady bursts at dance club tempos prompted physical responses, stymied by an asymmetrical flux."
After its successful launch in New York, the multi-sensory installation EPHEMERA comes to Krakow. Bringing together scent and sound, Ephemera presents olfactory compositions based on musical resonances and reverberations. The nose behind the project is Berlin-based GEZA SCHOEN, known for the groundbreaking Escentric Molecules series as well as various avant-garde/conceptual scents. Three musicians — BEN FROST, TIM HECKER and STEVE GOODMAN (aka KODE9) — created sonic raw material which Schoen then reinterpreted to create three different scents: Noise, Drone, and Bass, respectively. Ephemera's visual component is an evolving pattern created by London-based MANUEL SEPULVEDA (OPTIGRAM) and video artist MARCEL WEBER (MFO). You can check out a freshly released video for Steve Goodman's Bass here, with videos and sample tracks for Noise and Bass already online.
Note that a major project within this year's Unsound is LUMINOUS BODIES, which brings the festival together with partners INSOMNIA in Tromso, Norway and ICELAND MUSIC EXPORT OFFICE / ICELAND AIRWAVES in Reykyavik. Supported by the EEA, this project involves co-curation, with Polish, Norwegian, Icelandic and other artists displaying cultural diversity, as well as commissioned works.

Cresty Necks in Horses: Possible Physical Sign of Metabolic IssueBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff · October 4, 2011
A hallmark of certain metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome is a cresty neck—sometimes in combination with obesity, sometimes not.
Researchers assign a cresty neck score (CNS) to describe degree of fat deposition and to monitor changes in neck thickness. A narrow range of scores exists; a score of 0 would describe a neck with no crest, and a score of 5 would describe a massive crest that has shifted permanently to one side, called a fallen crest. Researchers have established a correlation between insulin resistance and horses with cresty neck scores of 3 and above.
Draft horses and draft crosses, some pony breeds, and Morgan horses may naturally display a bit more crestiness than members of other breeds. Additionally, stallions of any breed might retain more crest than mares or geldings because deposition of fat in the neck is a secondary sexual characteristic. These natural conformational attributes in a horse of moderate body condition should not be mistaken for a definitive signal that a metabolic condition exists.
A working knowledge of CNS is probably not as essential for horse owners as a thorough understanding of body condition score (BSC). However, in managing horses prone to metabolic conditions, it can be a useful tool in assessing disease progression.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 (UPI) -- In San Francisco Monday, Apple announced a new line of MacBook Airs, an overhaul of the software that runs the iPhone, and a new streaming music service.
Attendees at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference were also treated to a look at a revamped Mac Pro desktop powerhouse, which ditches its square aluminum tower for a black cylinder looking like some alternate head wear for Darth Vader.
The new Mac Pro, with just 1/8th the volume of the existing metallic Pro tower, is a Mac "unlike any we've ever made," Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said.
The Mac Pro will be assembled in the United States, he said.
Apple also announced Mac OS 9, the first version of its computer operating system not named for a large cat; the company is instead looking to its California roots, naming the new OS Mavericks, after a famous California surfing site.
The iOS software that runs Apple's iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches would see the biggest changes with version 7 since the iPhone's introduction in 2007, Apple head Tim Cook said, with a new look to its icons and its various screens.
Finally, Apple unveiled its Internet radio service called iTunes Radio, a competitor to Pandora and Spotify the company said will personalize listeners' music based on what they've listened to and what they've purchased on iTunes.

Hi, MSPRvrView:
I suspect you have integrated graphics, and so your RAM is shared with the graphics adapter.
Please post back and let me know if you need more help.
Thanks for the reply. It could definitely be a hardware issue like that. 768 MB of RAM deidcated to graphics is more than I would have expected. I wonder if there is a way to get a definitive answer on that. Thanks for the reply!

For a family business, more than any other, values are the connective tissue—the source of your success, your commitment, and your longevity. They bring power to a business, helping to assure cohesion, resolve conflicts and strengthen operations—through the natural act of passing down a legacy.
But values often go deeper than simply benefiting the family. Many of today's most successful family-owned businesses are extending the power of their values to benefiting others—not only their businesses and people, but also the communities in which they operate, as well as the projects and philanthropies that fit their personal mission.
In order to have a real and tangible impact, however, value-inspired changes must be planned and executed with precision. This is where PwC's Family Business Services is well placed to help.
If you'd like to gain real insight into how values give your family business a competitive advantage—and optimise and expand their positive impact—we're here to help. Our advisors have the capabilities, experience and resources to help you analyse the values of your family business, and identify opportunities to amplify them throughout your organisation and beyond.
We can help you with all kinds of values-centred missions, including:
The shared legacy of a family-owned enterprise can be a powerful motivator—not only for a personal and business commitment, but for a record of positive, values-based impact that can span generations. We invite you to contact us to explore how we can help you understand your values and make them work for you in every arena that is important to you.
Certain members of a family in business – from both the senior and the next generation – had an interest, at the individual level, in philanthropy. While their involvement in philanthropic endeavours mirrored, to a certain extent, the family business' values, there were no common giving principles.
The family council recognised the importance of "giving back" — and was conscious as well of philanthropy's potential for strengthening the bonds between family members and building a stronger family culture. So it decided to create a more structured approach to the family's philanthropic efforts.
We worked with the family council to find common ground around their philanthropic goals and helped them identify which types of investments would be viable, and which would not, in the context of the family's values. We then analysed the members' existing philanthropic projects and embedded them into a larger overall framework.
We also advised on the most appropriate structures to enable their philanthropic investments to be controlled effectively – and helped implement a simple mechanism to evaluate the investment impact on a regular basis.
The family advisory board feared that the post-merger integration with another family firm could be impaired by conflicts arising from the two diverging cultures — divergences which were predominantly related to each firm's family business values — and by difficulties on the part of managers to compromise on their respective cultural heritages.
The advisory board felt it needed to create clarity around shared values, embed them into the day-to-day business, and thus develop a culture that preserved the best of both family firms' heritages.
We reviewed the two incumbent cultures and assessed how close they were to the desired shared culture. We then determined the steps necessary to advance the family, ownership and business values. Finally, we implemented a mechanism to monitor these values' on-going alignment with the desired culture.
This more strategic approach enabled the advisory board to address the problematic areas clinically rather than surgically — and avoid the invasive, abstract (and therefore unmanageable) process that the family advisory board feared. Instead, these mechanisms became increasingly embedded in the merged company's operations, which, slowly but surely, has generated a stronger shared culture.
"It is important to teach each new generation, early on, the difference between ownership and stewardship. Ownership is a right of possession. Stewardship is a fiduciary role. It is holding the institution in 'trust for' the next generation. We feel, as a family, that this institution has been passed on to us for our care and not for us to dissipate or do what we will with it for our personal gain."
"Being both the CEO and the owner makes you constantly questioned but at the same time never questioned at all."
"I think my staff appreciate the continuity in the business. They prefer working for a family business like ours. The openness of management to future plans and the 'all in it together' mentality binds staff to the company."
"One of our main competitive advantages at Componenta, a listed family business, is the speed of decision-making as we have managed to align the interests of the owners and the managers in the decision-making process."
"As a fifth generation member of a family in the yachtbuilding business, I believe that continuity is of invaluable importance. Our advanced custom yachts are luxury products but you really don't need glamour to compete successfully. I learned from my father how genuinely clients appreciate a down-to-earth approach and a long tradition of technical excellence."

EUR/USD (a 4-hour chart)
The U.S. dollar briskly started the first summer month. The EUR/USD lost 0.25% against the negative macroeconomic statistics. The preliminary CPI in Germany showed the inflationary pressure compression to the level 0.9 % year on year, the lowest level since July 2010. This report indicates that the Germans are under the negativity wave from the structural problems in the Eurozone now.
The States also well pleased the dollar "bulls"– the ISM manufacturing index in May was better than the median forecasts, has been showing the growth the 4th consecutive month.
The weak PMI report from Markit Economics for the UK manufacturing sector provoked short positions in the pair GBP/USD. This release confirms the fact that the British currency excessive growth is negative for the economy manufacturing sector. In a moment the GBP/USD price fell to 1.6724 mark, and then we watched a technical bounce, signaling the demand for sterling in figure 67.
The strong growth in the Japanese stock market on Monday cheered the "bulls" to open long positions. The 102.13 resistance level could not resist and we saw the maximum values update for the last 4 weeks.
Macroeconomic statistics from the United States also supported the demand for the U.S. dollar against the Yen - the ISM manufacturing sector was at 56, which is 0.3 better than the forecast surveyed by Bloomberg.

Earlier in some unchartered parts of yesterday, I walked away from the house of a good friend. I never looked back as I treaded the streets that were empty in the mid-day sun. Looking around the rather empty village or subdivision, there were but a few houses. It was as if all of them were bought though never built upon, since the felicity of the general area seemed quite high and the place seemed well cared for. The mid-day sun seemed warm, although not to the point

2. The theological uproar continues today, notably in the United States, with creationists promoting the notion of intelligent design, while attempting to refute evolutionary theory and prevent coverage of the topic in schools.
3. Proof that humans were related to apes, chimps-off-the-old-block as it were, comes from a number of mostly fragmentary fossils discovered, by and large in Africa and Europe, by palaeontologists and anthropologists.
4. The drawback in Darwin's scheme was that there was a gap in the fossil record - a missing primate - positioned somewhere on the evolutionary scale between early apes and hominids, the name given to all members of the family of humans.
5. The absence leaves two competing solutions to the evolutionary monkey puzzle: the Out of Africa theorists who argue that modern man emerged in and then migrated from Africa, and the multiregionalists who believe that this process took place in different parts of the world.
6. The most recent discovery is Ardiphithecus Ramidus, said to be the closest thing know to the link. It lived 4.5 million years ago where Ethiopia is now and would have looked a lot like a chimp. What marked it out is that it walked on two feet and had more human-like teeth than its contemporaries.
7. The search for evidence of humanity's origins has featured some remarkable monkey business. The discovery on British soil of Piltdown Man, which appeared to conclusively prove Darwin right, is one of the most infamous hoaxes of all time. The marriage of a centuries-old woman and an orang-utan, while not as unsavoury as it sounds, demonstrated the ability of fraudsters to take the scientific community for a ride.
8. The findings of self-taught Japanese archaeologist Shinichi Fujimara, reverentially dubbed "God's Hand" because of his ability to discover ancient human fossils, challenged the orthodoxy of established theories in the 1980s and 90s with evidence that the earliest humans had lived in Japan. Newspaper photographs of Fujimara planting ancient relics in prehistoric earth showed that it was his hands, rather than those of a divine being, as well as gullible scientists, that were responsible for his astounding hypothesis.
9. Creationist scientists have a multitude of problems with the "missing link" evidence presented by evolutionist scientists. Believing the creation story from Genesis, they maintain that evidence for the "missing link" is either fraudulent or inconclusive and believe man to be created in the image of God.
10. Speculative visions of man's ancestry in popular culture have conjured up different images of our forefathers. Planet of the Apes presented a dystopian vision of a futuristic earth ruled by primates. Alternatively,

The Wayans Brothers (yes, all 50 of them) are back with a new spoof movie, this time a spoof of all those really, really bad dance movies that you kids seem to love so much, called "Dance Flick". Why not "Dance Movie", you ask? Well I'm glad you're so curious, curious laddies. Probably because that title was already taken by the other 60 guys who do spoof movies as a career in Hollywood. Plus, "flick" just sounds more urban. Now you may be asking yourself: "Wait, self, aren't all those teen dance movies already parodies of themselves? What with their awful acting, barely competent screenwriting, and completely gratuitous use of gyrating flesh?" Well yes, they are, but dammit, don't tell the Wayans that. It looks like they've got a hit on their hands here. Or at least, a movie that'll feed the Wayans brood for the next 3 years, anyway.
The plot, such as it is: Shoshana Bush plays a white girl who goes to a dance school, falls in love with a black guy (played by one of the Wayans, I suppose, since he sorta looks like him, but I don't think I've seen him before), and gets into all sorts of hilarity. The Wayans write, act, direct, and caters this sure-to-be crowd pleaser.

Freshman Brad Brooks of Newark, Del., finished fourth in the 1650 freestyle March 23, the final day of the 2013 NCAA Division III men's swimming championship at Conroe ISD Natatorium.
Swimming in the final heat to open the evening session, Brooks placed fourth overall with a time of 15:31.60. The place earned him All-America accolades. His time was 14.43 seconds better than his previous program and Centennial Conference record in the event. He also knocked another 6.54 seconds off his 1000 free record, splitting a time of 9:23.95.
Earlier in the week, Brooks was 10th in the 500 free (4:29.30) to become the first All-American in program history with honorable mention accolades.
A senior on the baseball team, Zach Jones of Frederick, Md., was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA) National Division III Pitcher of the Week for the week of Mar. 4-10.
Jones threw a no-hitter to lead the Green Terror (5-2) to earn his second honor in as many weeks. Jones fanned a career-high 12 batters in the team's 10-0 game-one win over Penn State-York. He allowed just one base runner – a fifth-inning, one-out walk – in the seven-inning game. It was McDaniel's first no-hitter since Mar. 14, 2001, and the first in the Centennial Conference (CC) since Mar. 10, 2010.

The kids are all right -- but their laptops and iPads are long gone.
Parents spent two years raising money to buy $70,000 worth of computer equipment for River Glen Elementary School, only to find them all gone -- stolen -- on Monday.
A total of 31 laptops and 31 iPads in the school's technology room were gone.
A school district spokeswoman confirmed the theft from the school computer theft. And what's gone is gone: "There are no plans to replace it," San Jose Unified School District spokeswoman Tracy Cook told the Mercury News.
That's a problem for the students, whose parents spent two years fundraising for the computers -- and who now lack access to technology.
"It's a huge loss," Principal Carlos Salcido said. "For some of the students, it's the only place to get reliable Internet access or get access to computer tablets. For them, it's an even bigger loss."
Police say there are no signs of forced entry, and there are no surveillance cameras on campus.
The school still has computers, but some of the 60 laptops for the 550 students are "older than the children using them," the newspaper reported.
The district hopes its IT department can help track down the stolen hardware. The PTA says the loss is not fully covered by insurance.

At the heart of this episode was the dysfunctional and strangely unbreakable relationship between Ellen and Patty. It was odd, it was competitive and full of mind games, but in the end it was volatile. The final scene with Patty denying the attack was powerful television and the reason we love this show so much.

Mexican drugs kingpin Edgar Valdez captured
Police in Mexico have captured one of the country's biggest drug traffickers in a major coup against the drugs cartels that are holding the country to ransom in their murderous drugs wars.
Edgar Valdez, a chief of the powerful Beltran Leyva gang based in central Mexico, was arrested on Monday in a residential area on the edge of the state of Morelos, near Mexico City.
The Texas-born smuggler, nicknamed "La Barbie" for his fair complexion and blue eyes, gave up without a struggle according to a police spokesman.
The 37-year-old, who heads one of the two factions battling for control of the Beltran Leyva cartel has been indicted in the United States on charges that he distributed thousands of kilos of cocaine in the eastern…

DETROIT, May 21 (UPI) -- Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick should have a veto over a resolution asking Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to remove him from office, the city's top lawyer says.
Corporation Counsel John Johnson Jr. told the city counsel Tuesday that its members violated the city charter by sending the resolution to Granholm before May 27, The Detroit News reported. William Goodman, the council's lawyer disagrees.
"How can the mayor be in a position to veto legislation, which in effect would take away his power, including the power to veto? It doesn't make any sense," he said. "It's a trick bag."
Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, are under indictment for allegedly lying about an affair and about their role in the firings of police officers.
The resolution and another one to begin removal proceedings in the council passed by 5-4 votes.
Councilman Kwame Kenyatta suggested that Granholm is probably reluctant to act on the council resolution.
"I'm sure this is a potato she doesn't want hot or cold," he told the News.

Baked Ziti with Tomato and Alfredo Sauce
White Cheese Pizza
What's new in Sbarro? Well, the food is still the same ( well it should be! 🙂 ), it's just the interiors that were changed. It used to be a little darker and reddish inside the restaurant, now their main motif is white. The white motif gives a fresh look in Sbarro outlets. We hope that Sbarro Glorietta will be open to the public again.
