Abu Yahya al-Mazini came in upon al-Shafi'i (may God have mercy upon them both) in his final sickness, and asked him, 'How are you faring this morning?' 'This morning I am travelling from this world,' he said, 'and departing from my brethren, and going to meet my evil works, quaffing the cup of death, and coming unto God (Exalted is He!) Yet I do not know whether my spirit is travelling to Heaven, that I might congratulate it, or to Hell, that I might console it.' Then he recited:
When my heart was hardened and my courses
I made my hopes a stairway to Your
My sin burdened me heavily, but when I measured it
by Your forgiveness, Lord, Your forgiveness
was the greater.
Always are You forgiving of sin, and always
do You show generosity and forgiveness out of
munificence and bounty.
Still, were it not for You no worshipper would be
tempted by the devil;
How could that be, when he led astray Your
chosen one, Adam?
From Imam Al-Ghazali's The Remebrance of Death And The Afterlife, Book XL of The Revival Of The Religious Sciences (Ihya Ulum Al-Din). Page 95 in the Islamic Texts Society edition.

Billy Graham Quotes
22 Billy Graham quotes:
"I think we are trying to run the space age with horse and buggy moral and spiritual equipment. Technology you see has no morals; and with no moral restraints man will destroy himself ecologically, militarily, or in some other way. Only God can give a person moral restraints and spiritual strength."
"The word "romance," according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime."
"Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has."
"No one will do it for you."
"The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course."

"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life."
"The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus."
"History is full of surprises, and the next century will be no exception."
"A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerated the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable"

"My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world."
"God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there"

Well Winter is officially here (in my book) cuz the parking lot is covered in snow when I looked out my window just before 10pm. Another employee here has posted on 'Facebook' that we have 2 inches of snow so far. (will be more by morning cuz it's still snowing). Another person from Kingman said it's snowing there also but it's not sticking around on the ground.
Of course New England got slammed with a blizzard and power outtages last week. I got to remember to send the kids some money in Maine so Liz can buy Ryan some boots and more blankets.
This Sunday most of the country will also be changing their clocks…which means the kids will only be 2 hours ahead of me then.
Why does snowy weather put me in the mood for hot chocolate? I don't have any left so I guess I will have to settle for a cup of peppermint tea instead.
Oh yeah, I found a can of pumpkin pie mix in the general store a couple days ago. Now I need to find the pumpkin-oatmeal recipe online again. Hopefully it was a recipe that can be done in the microwave. Oh heck, I should buy more cans of pumpkin pie mix cuz after Christmas, the stores won't sell anymore.
I have 1 more day off work, before I start at Maswik. I've been off work since Yavapai closed on Sunday. Six days off can drive me insane when I have nowhere to go. I start the late shift (noon-9pm) on Sunday at Maswik.
So tomorrow, I should make sure I find all my Winter stuff. I washed 1 scarf yesterday and I have my crampons (Yak-Traks) sitting on my dresser now. I need to do more laundry tomorrow and wash my jackets. Debating whether I should buy any long-underwear or not.
I might not be crazy about the cold wind that we have had all day but I should get used to it because Alaska will have even more.
OK, I really should finish my tea before it gets to cold (well to late for that). I can warm it back up in the microwave 🙂 and then I need curl up under the blankets and go to sleep. Maybe I'll go to E-Cafe in the morning for breakfast and get a few pictures of snow in the canyon.

A Shorten Labor Government says it will invest $59 million to attract advanced manufacturing investment to areas hit by the closure of the car industry.
In a statement, Mr Shorten said Labor will provide pathways to new jobs for skilled workers by attracting new business investment in advanced manufacturing.
"Firms will be given new incentives to diversify into new products and markets and employ automotive workers who have lost their jobs," he said.
"It's estimated that for every one automotive job, 6.5 jobs are generated in associated supply. Modelling suggests that 200,000 people will lose their jobs as a result of closures in motor vehicle production between now and 2017."
$48.1 million will be provided to specifically stimulate investment in new opportunities in advanced manufacturing, said Labor.
"Rather than duplicate programs at the State and Federal level, Labor will leverage the work already done by State Governments and supplement existing state programs, both by increasing the resources these programs can draw on and by expanding their scope."

Plymouth stands between moorland to the north and the English Channel to the south, and is flanked by the river Plym to the east and the river Tamar to the west. The Tamar also forms a natural border between the city in the county of Devonshire, and the county of Cornwall.
The origins of Plymouth can be traced back to Saxon times, more than a thousand years ago, and its history very much reflects its maritime location. Farmland on a small peninsula at the mouth of the river Plym, referred to in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Sudtone, meaning South Farm, developed into Sutton Harbour, the hub of medieval Plymouth. The earliest record of cargo leaving Plymouth dates from 1211, and for the next two centuries trade through Plym
outh flourished, particularly during the 100 Years War with France.
Plymouth's importance both as a community and a port accelerated during this period. In 1254 its town status was recognised by Royal Charter, and in 1439 Plymouth was the first town in England to be granted a Charter by Parliament. Trade with other English regions, the Baltics and Northern Europe expanded, whilst fortifications were built up to repel repeated French incursions.
During the next three centuries Plymouth established its reputation both as a centre for voyage and discovery, and for its military importance. Transatlantic trade originated with William Hawkins in 1528. His son John laid the foundations of an organised naval force.
Throughout the Industrial Revolution, Plymouth grew as a commercial shipping port, handling imports and passengers from the Americas, and exporting local minerals (tin, copper, lime, china clay and arsenic). The neighbouring town of Devonport became a strategic Royal Naval shipbuilding and dockyard town. In 1914 three neighbouring independent towns, viz., the county borough of Plymouth, the county borough of Devonport, and the urban district of East Stonehouse were merged to form a single County Borough. The combined town took the name of Plymouth which, in 1928, achieved city status. The city's naval importance later led to its being targeted by the German military and partially destroyed by bombing during World War II, an act known as the Plymouth Blitz. After the war the city centre was completely rebuilt and subsequent expansion led to the incorporation of Plympton and Plymstock along with other outlying suburbs in 1967. The city is home to 263,100 (mid-2017 est.) people, making it the 30th-most populous built-up area in the United Kingdom and the second-largest city in the South West, after Bristol. It is governed locally by Plymouth City Council and is represented nationally by three MPs. Plymouth's economy remains strongly influenced by shipbuilding and seafaring including ferry links to Brittany (Roscoff) and Spain (Santander), but has tended toward a service-based economy since the 1990s. It has the largest operational naval base in Western Europe, HMNB Devonport, and is home to the University of Plymouth.

Introduction: Fishhooks Senecio: This Trailing Succulent Is So Easy to Grow
If you want an easy care plant that trails like crazy, then call off the search – you've found it.
Step 1:
If you want an easy care plant that trails like crazy, then call off the search – you've found it. The Fishhooks Senecio (some call the ones I have Grey Fishhooks Senecio) likes to ramble and at 4′ long, shows no signs of slowing down. This succulent loves any admiration you can throw its way but is not fussy at all when it comes to care. Mine grow outdoors here in Santa Barbara but they make excellent houseplants.
Step 2:
This is 1 of my Fishhooks Senecios – my what long trails you have!
This plant also goes by the names Fishhooks Plant, String Of Fishhooks, Senecio "Fish Hooks " as well as by its botanic moniker Senecio radicans. This is a bit confusing because there's another succulent (which you see at the end of this post) that I know as String Of Bananas which also has the botanic name Senecio radicans. No matter what you call the plant I'm showcasing, it trails like crazy & is a snap to maintain.
Step 3:
Here's what I've learned:
Light / Exposure
Indoors the Fishhooks likes to live in a bright to high light spot, like near a south or west window. Just be sure to keep it away from hot glass or prolonged exposure to hot summer sun because it'll burn. Remember, those leaves & stems are full of water. Outdoors here on the coast of California mine get morning sun & are shaded from the hotter afternoon sun. If you're inland where the sun is more intense, bright shade is the way to go.
String Of Fishhooks run the gamut when it comes to temperature – from 25 degrees to 100 degrees F.
I water my Fishhook Senecios every 2 weeks, less in the winter if it's been raining (more rain please in Southern California!) &/or if it's cool. Indoors, you want to water yours every 3-6 weeks depending on the season & how hot & dry your home is. It's good to let it almost thoroughly dry out between waterings. No matter the frequency, you want to thoroughly water the plant & make sure all the water drains out.
Speaking of water draining out, you want to plant your String Of Fishhooks in a light, fast draining mix. I use a succulent & cactus mix when potting & rooting all my succulents. This way, there's much less chance that the roots will rot out. Like the majority of succulents, it's better to keep them on the drier side than too wet.
I never fertilize my succulents but instead top dress them them with a nice amount of worm castings (1″) & organic compost (2″) every spring. They really don't need any fertilizing but if you feel for some reason that yours does, then feed with an organic liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants & apply once in the spring. Never fertilize in the winter when the plants are resting. Hey, plants need a little break too!
Step 4:
Mine have never gotten any & this plant is not notorious for any infestations. Indoors, yours might get mealy bugs (this critter looks like small specks of cotton) & if it does, just take it to the sink or shower & wash it down. Just make sure your Fishhooks Senecio never stays too wet for too long, especially in those cooler months. Outside, use the garden hose for a gentle blasting.
You'll need to prune it if you want to control the length. Just know that new growth will eventually fork off from the cut ends, usually as 2 trails instead of 1. You'll get lots of cutting from this 1!
Fishhook Senecios are easy to propagate by stem or leaf cuttings. I have that covered in this video – you can skip to the :44 second mark if that's what you're looking for.
This plant is best used in hanging baskets & wall pots. It's great in mixed container plantings too but it does wander & hog real estate from other plants. I had some growing in a pot by my driveway & it traveled down the pot & pedestal & has meandered & rooted it's way through the garden. You can see it in this post & video about my never ending succulent repotting job.
Good To Know
Fishhooks Senecio grows fast in the warmer weather & even faster if outdoors. As a year round houseplant, the growth will probably be moderate but still faster than other plants. As I said above, just be careful if you plant it in the same pot with other plants because it does tend to overtake other less vigorous plants. If you want to grow this succulent as a houseplant all you need is nice bright light and to be stingy with the water. Whether you grow Fishhooks Senecio indoors or out, just make sure you give it room to trail!
Happy gardening,
Step 5:
This succulent also goes by Senecio radicans, String of Bananas & String Of Fishhooks. Confusing! I call it String Of Bananas because these plumper leaves look more like bananas to me. I've also seen it listed as Senecio radicans "glauca". What do you call it???

I had just read your post on Hometalk and after one of the persons commenting there asked where one could get the plant, I thought I would search for one. I ended up here and realized that it was your post. I enjoyed your post and like the plant. Now to find one.
Hi - They're great plants - so easy. I used to sell the cuttings but I'm not anymore because I'm moving. If you can't find them locally, succulent growers sell them online. Nell
Thank you. I did find a couple places on Amazon. And shared this information with a person who posted a question on your Hometalk post. I will check on other sellers just or mainly to check shipping costs.

Snow began falling in Reston about 3:30 p.m. A total of 4 to 8 inches is expected to fall between Monday afternoon and mid-day Tuesday and the region remains under a Winter Storm Warning until noon on Tuesday.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has issued a State of Emergency for the entire commonwealth.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is prepared for the snow with nearly 12,000 pieces of equipment, including plows, trucks and motor graders ready for snow removal operations. You can visit VDOTPLOWS.org to see the plowing status of the streets near you.
Reston Now will update this story with any school delays or road closures.
(Original Story, Sunday 8 p.m.) The National Weather Service has changed the Winter Storm Watch for Reston and the rest of the D.C. area to a Winter Storm Warning.
The Winter Storm Warning will be in effect from 4 pm Monday to noon Tuesday. A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until 10 am Monday.
The NWS says to expect:
- Precipitation type: snow.
- Accumulations: 4 to 8 inches.
- Timing: Snow is expected to develop late Monday afternoon and continue through Tuesday morning. Heaviest Snow is expected Monday night and early Tuesday morning.
- Wind Chill, 5 to 10 below zero tonight and Monday morning.
- Temperatures: single digits tonight. Highs in the lower 20s Monday. Temperatures in the teens Monday night and Tuesday morning.
- Winds: northwest to 10 to 15 mph overnight. Winds becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph Monday night into Tuesday morning.
- Impacts: The combination of gusty winds and cold temperatures will continue to make dangerous wind chills that can quickly cause hypothermia and Frost Bite through Monday morning. Beginning late Monday afternoon, roads will become snow covered and slippery with visibilities being reduced to one half mile or less at times. The combination of snow covered roads and low visibility will make traveling dangerous.
A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only Travel in an emergency. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight. Food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and gloves.

Identification of Dioryctria (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) in a seed orchard at Chico, California
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
Abstract: Species of Dioryctria Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are important pests of conifers, particularly in seed orchards, and accurate species identification is needed for effective monitoring and control. Variable forewing morphology and lack of species-specific genitalic features hinder identification, prompting the search for additional diagnostic characters. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from the cytochrome c oxidase I and U genes (COI and COII) were obtained from specimens collected at lights, pheromone traps, and host plants in the Pacific Northwest, focusing on a U.S. Forest Service seed orchard in Chico, CA. A 475-bp fragment of COI was used to identify eight distinct genetic lineages from 180 Dioryctria specimens, and these were identified as eight described species. Comparisons among mtDNA variation, adult morphology, larval host association, and pheromone attraction were used to assign individuals to species groups and to identify diagnostic characters for species identification. A 2.3-kb fragment of COI-COII was sequenced for 14 specimens to increase resolution of phylogenetic relationships. Species groups were well resolved using both the 475-bp and \"DNA barcode\" subsets of the 2.3-kb sequences, with the 475-bp fragment generally showing lower divergences. The zimmermani and ponderosae species groups were sister groups and had similar male genitalic morphology and larval feeding habits. The pentictonella group was sister to the zimmerinani + ponderosae group clade, and all species have raised scales and a Pinus sp. larval host (where known). Combining molecular characters with morphological and behavioral characters improved identification of Dioryctria species and supported previous species group relationships.

Canton Christian Home – Inspection Results, Penalties, and Inclusion in Senate Report on Poorly-Performing Nursing Homes
Rating from the Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare Website
Canton Christian Home (https://cantonchristianhome.org/) ("Canton Christian") is located at 2550 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, Ohio 44709. As of June 28, 2019, Canton Christian had an overall rating of two stars out of a possible 5 stars on Medicare's Nursing Home Compare website.* A two star rating means that the nursing home is considered "below average" in comparison to other nursing homes. This facility was also included in the April, 2019 federal government list of poorly performing nursing homes known as "Special Focus Facility candidates."* These details are provided below.
The Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare Website
The United States government has developed a website that allows users to see information on individual nursing homes regarding inspections, violations and deficiencies, which is located at https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. Information provided in the Nursing Home Compare website includes detailed information about inspections, facility deficiencies, staffing, penalties, bed certification, and much more. This website is run by Medicare, and was created so that users and families can easily compare different nursing homes based upon the same set of standards.
Nursing homes are required to provide care to residents that follows or complies with federal regulations. The periodic inspections of nursing homes are designed to determine if they are following the regulations and therefore giving good care. If they violate the regulations, they are issued a citation and sometimes a monetary fine.
In June, 2019, a US Senate report (the "Senate Report") was issued by US Senators Casey and Toomey entitled Families' and Residents' Right to Know: Uncovering Poor Care in America's Nursing Homes. This report concerns, in large part, the public identification of Medicare/Medicaid Special Focus Facility participants and candidates. As of April, 2019, Canton Christian was considered a Special Focus Facility candidate due to the poor care it was providing its residents.* This is very important information to families who have had a loved one at this nursing home and they had suspicions of abuse or neglect or for families considering this home for their family member.
The Special Focus Facilities Program
The Special Focus Facility ("SFF") program was created in connection with the adoption of The Nursing Home Act, which established nursing facility participation requirements under Medicare and Medicaid. These nursing homes are at risk to causing harm to residents due to their failure to follow the regulations. As cited in the Senate Report, "[t]he SFF program is designed to increase oversight of facilities that persistently underperform in required inspections conducted by state survey agencies." When a nursing home does not comply with the regulations that govern care in nursing homes, then they get cited. If they receive a lot of citations over a period of time, then the government may place them into the SFF program.
SFF nursing homes are subject to increasing inspections (at least one every six months), escalating fines, and the possibility of losing Medicare and Medicaid funding if improvements are not made. As of April, 2019, approximately 80 facilities were included in the SFF program.
Special Focus Facility Candidates
In addition to the facilities named to the SFF program, the government has created an additional list of approximately 400 nursing homes considered to be poorly-performing based upon past inspections. These facilities are considered "Special Focus Facility candidates" because of the possibility that may be named to the Special Focus Facility program if their operations do not improve.
Previously, while the names of SFF's were publicly disclosed, the names of the Special Focus Facility candidates – those nursing facilities in danger of being included in the SFF – were not publicly disclosed. Believing that the public should know the names of all these underperforming nursing homes, Senators Casey and Toomey made a request to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the "CMS") for the names of the SFF candidates, and the government complied with this request. The senators then released their report in June, 2019, which includes the names of those in the SFF program and those considered Special Focus Facility candidates as of April, 2019. *
Canton Christian Penalties
The nursing home has recently been the subject of a penalty as the result of one or more deficiencies found in inspections. According to the Nursing Home Compare website, Canton Christian received a penalty of $38,034 on December 19, 2018.
Recent Health Inspection Reports on the Medicare.gov Website for Canton Christian
As shown in the charts below, recent inspections have revealed a number of significant and serious issues involving the care provided to nursing home residents which resulted in actual harm and/or presenting an immediate risk of resident health or safety.
This is unacceptable. We should not allow nursing homes to abuse and neglect our seniors by not following regulations.
As of June 27, 2019, the following information was reported on the Nursing Home Compare website for Canton Christian:
Level 3 and Level 4 "Level of Harm" Citations
According to the Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare website, as of June, 2019, the following shows the results of recent inspections that resulted in a Level 3 or Level 4 "Level of Harm" for this facility in which the inspection and/or the correction occurred between January, 2018, and June, 2019:
As shown in the data above, after proper inspections some issues were found that resulted in actual harm and immediate jeopardy to residents' health and/or safety.
Putting Profits Over Resident Welfare
Many nursing homes will seek to minimize expenses – particularly around staffing – so that they can earn more money. Tragically, understaffing, poor management, lack of sufficient training, and other matters can result in resident injury and even death.
My firm represents residents who are injured, as well as the families who have lost a loved one, due to nursing home fault. I seek full accountability, compensation, and justice on behalf of clients. And, by holding negligent nursing homes financially accountable, it is hoped that practices will be changed so that future injuries and wrongful death do not occur.
Was a Loved One Injured Due to Nursing Home Abuse, Neglect, or Negligence? If So, Call Me for a Free Consultation
I can help.
The first step is to schedule a free consultation so we may discuss your rights and choices in order to hold the facility accountable, if appropriate. I provide contingency fee representation (no fee unless compensation is recovered), and advance litigation costs (these costs are subtracted from settlement payments and jury awards).
As a former practicing nurse and as a nursing home lawyer with more than 30 years of experience, I am dedicated to representing clients in their quest for answers and justice. I would invite you to call me today at 216-696-5700.
Client Review
As both a nurse and an attorney, Nancy is uniquely suited to help victims of nursing home abuse. She gets in-depth in her clients' cases, leaving no stone unturned, and her sense of empathy for what her client's and their families have gone through is what makes her stand head and shoulders above all others.

Info button (Reference Icon) on dashboard/homepage list reports is not working as expected. When clicking on the reference icon to bring up the popup view, the page freezes.
- No sys_popup view has been created for the record's table
- Variable "PPM checklist" is causing the reference icon to break
After further research and testing, The reason why the reference icon is breaking is because of the variable "PPM Checklist" in your pm_project_task record "default view". In our documentation on "Configure the fields in the pop-up for a reference icon"
KB0700675 - Configure the fields in the pop-up for a reference icon
We state "You can use the sys_popup form view to configure the fields in the pop-up that appears when pointing to a reference icon. If the table has no sys_popup view, the pop-up uses use the default view."
Since the table pm_project_task does not have a sys_popup view, it is using the default view as it's popup view. Removing the PPM Checklist variable and the popup view when clicking on the reference Icon is working fine now.
Please keep in mind you will need to do the same for any reference Icons that are breaking. For example I notice that the reference icon is also breaking for records in the sc_task table. In order to resolve this issue. Please create a sys_popup view for the sc_task table and remove the "PPM checklist" variable.

Here is a special posting, a review written by frequent guest critic and writer for this blog, John W. Barker. Barker (below) is an emeritus professor of Medieval history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also is a well-known classical music critic who writes for Isthmus and the American Record Guide, and who hosts an early music show once a month on Sunday morning on WORT FM 89.9 FM. For years, he served on the Board of Advisors for the Madison Early Music Festival and frequently gives pre-concert lectures in Madison. He also took the performance photos.

The concert by the largely amateur Middleton Community Orchestra (below, in a photo by Margaret Barker) on Wednesday night presented a novel program at the Middleton Performing Arts Center.
In the relatively brief first part, it presented two unusual items.
The first was by Nebojsa "Neb" Macura (b. 1982, below right with conductor Steve Kurr), a local musician of Serbian background, who has been particularly identified with Russian folk music and ensembles. But he also plays viola in the MCO, which gave him this opportunity in the spotlight.
His piece, Polar Night, is quite brief, but in this version for full orchestra (with piano), it is grounded with secure melodic flow, and it unfolds into a tonal picture full of beautiful colors. My only reservation was that I wanted more of it — either more music in this piece or other sections around it.
Macura is obviously talented, and he has a confident sense of orchestral writing. I really look forward to hearing more of him. Indeed, the MCO might well serve as exactly the laboratory in which he can develop new creations.
The second item was only a bit longer, a Trumpet Concerto by Russian composer Aleksandra Pakhmutova (b. 1929, below). Her long career has involved her in jazz, and also in extensive scoring for films. But she has a feeling for Russian traditional song, and that could be heard in this concerto.
It is cast in only a single movement, but it proceeds episodically. There is certainly much flashy writing for the solo instrument, and local trumpeter Jessica Jensen (below) brought off her role dashingly.
The longer second part of the concert was devoted to the Symphony No. 3, the "Rhenish," by Robert Schumann. This splendid work was inspired by observation of life along the Rhine River.
It is unusual in being written in five movements, not the conventional four. (Oddly, their individual markings were not printed in the program, but conductor Steve Kurr (below) gave a clever spoken introduction that outlined the score for the audience.)
This is a very extroverted work, calling for a lot of orchestral sonority. I suspect that a little more rehearsal time would have helped the avoidance of some blemishes: rapid passages, especially in the first movement, were roughly articulated, and there were some tiny gaffes all along.
But the players were devoted in responding to maestro Kurr's rather propulsive tempos. This score gives a lot to do particularly to the horn section, which played with ardent splendor.
As always, then, the MCO earned further laurels for presenting this very adventurous program.

By John W. Barker
The amateur Middleton Community Orchestra (below) closed its eighth season with another program of mainstream works. Maestro Steve Kurr clearly likes to challenge his players not only with demanding music, but also with works so familiar that audience expectations are extra high.
Of the two works presented, the first was the beloved Piano Concerto in A Minor by Robert Schumann. He wrote it for his wife, born Clara Wieck and an acclaimed pianist, to show off her talents. The soloist was the ubiquitous Thomas Kasdorf (below), a Middleton native and UW-Madison graduate who finds the MCO a wonderful platform in which he can have experience with a range of concertos.
Kasdorf is clearly working to make this concerto his own. He strove to integrate the polarities of melodiousness and showiness in the first movement, and seemed to have settled nicely into the extravagance of the final movement.
But it was the middle movement that intrigued me. (You can hear that movement, played by Sviatoslav Richter, in the YouTube video at the bottom.) Usually treated as a simplistic interval between the other movements, it emerged here as music of true delicacy, much of it a dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra. I daresay Kasdorf (below) will be able to make even more of this work as he grows in it, but he is off to a persuasive start.
The other warhorse — if you will — on the program was the Symphony No. 1 of Johannes Brahms. Kurr was the more daring in tackling it since the Madison Symphony Orchestra had already performed it just this past February. It is a deliberately monumental work, an ostentatious demonstration by Brahms that he had truly arrived as symphonist. Consequently, the composer made his players work hard to bring this off.
Though it sounds unfair, my initial grading would be an "incomplete": a performance in the making. This was true certainly in the first movement, which did not yet have full coordination and coherence.
A major problem was the orchestra's horn section. Brahms certainly wrote strong music for them in this work, but these players were occasionally inaccurate and, most damaging, far too loud and out of balance with the full ensemble. That distorted or undercut the performance all the way.
On the other hand, the string choir (below) continues to mature, and it delivered a very satisfying sound in the passages featuring it.
Most important of all, however, was Kurr's interpretative approach, particularly in the second and third movements. These are usually presented as bits of superficial repose between the big flanking movements. But Kurr almost made them the genuine center of the work.
Taking much slower tempos than we usually hear, Kurr (below) turned the slow movement into a flow of beautiful sound, the third movement a subtly clever piece of whimsy. And the introduction to the finale, again taken more slowly than usual, unfolded with a powerful eloquence of its own, the more to pave the way for the Big Tune in the remaining body of the movement.
I am not sure I would advocate always treating Brahms's First this way. But I salute Kurr for making me think anew about a score I had assumed I already knew well. He was able to lead his players, despite any shortcomings, in a performance of genuine artistic perceptions—an achievement in which this orchestra can take great pride.

Overton Has All-Inclusive Plan as FAMU's New AD
By St. Clair Murraine
Outlook Staff Writer
By St. Clair Murraine
Capital Outlook staff
Milton Overton, named the new athletic director for FAMU on Monday, June 22, intends to be all-inclusive by using technology to help his decision-making about turning around the school's athletic department.
Overton was selected from a field of three finalists just one week after they completed their final interviews for the job. He comes from the University of Alabama, where he was senior associate athletic director.
Overton, 42, has a technology background as founder of Enki System, a software solutions company that focuses on athletic academic support programs. That knowledge of technology will be one of his everyday tools on the job, Overton said just hours after being named to the FAMU job.
"When you think technology, some people think printers, fax machines (and) computers," he said. "When I think technology, I think business intelligence, utilizing data to make sound business decisions."
Overton begins work Aug. 3.
"He comes to us with a wealth of knowledge, best practices and a business acumen that will forge a new tomorrow for FAMU," said FAMU president Elmira Mangum in a news release. "I am impressed with his professional narrative and the type of role model that he can be to student-athletes and the FAMU community."
One decision that Overton has already made is he will operate much differently than Kellen Winslow, the last person to hold the position permanently. Winslow abruptly resigned in December and was replaced by Nelson Townsend, who was assigned on an interim basis.
Townsend died in January and was replaced by D'Wayne Robinson, who applied for the permanent job but wasn't one of the three finalists.
Since last spring when Winslow was named AD, support for the school's athletic program dwindled. FAMU alumni expressed their disgust at a town hall meeting with the manner that Winslow made decisions, especially one to suspend the golf and tennis programs.
Overton said his use of technology, including social media, will help make FAMU supporters feel included.
"Once you do that, depending on what people are saying what they are interested in, we need to start building ticket packages specifically targeted to what people are interested in," he said. "What they want to support. That's what business intelligence is."
Engaging FAMU supporters will begin "in short order" to start devising a plan for turnaround the athletic department, he said.
"Once you build a plan collectively and you hear from everybody," he said, "then you can move forward."
Overton is inheriting an athletic department grappling with a deficit and an $8.7 million budget. He'll also be confronted with a football stadium in need up upgrades and a poor Academic Progress Report that has put football and two other programs on NCAA sanctions.
"I see the challenges as opportunities," Overton said. "I don't see any issues that you don't see at the larger level. At Alabama, you have issues and SEC schools have issues so it doesn't really matter what your budget is. You have to execute and make sure the student-athletes have a good experience."

It's a jolly holiday with Lin-Manuel Miranda. That is right. The mastermind behind Hamilton and In the Heights may be joining Emily Blunt in the upcoming Mary Poppins sequel. Miranda is reportedly being looked at the role of Jack, a lamplighter who is said to be quite similar to our favorite Chimney Sweep, Bert played by Dick Van-Dyke in the original 1964 film. The film will be directed by Rob Marshall who also directed film versions of 'Chicago', 'Nine' and 'Into the Woods.'
With news of Harper Lee releasing a sequel to her pivotal novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," flying all through the media, many have begun to ask why the long-awaited novel is being published now, more than 50 years after the prolific "Mockingbird" was released.

LING2011 Variation and Change in English
Module Overview
This module takes an empirical approach to questions such as: - Are there patterns of speech and language associated with males and females in varieties of English? - What is the role of teenagers in the propagation of change in English? - After a certain age are our accents 'set' or can we change over our lifespans? - How do migration and language contact lead to the birth of new English dialects? The module provides a comprehensive introduction to the sociolinguistic paradigm – the quantitative approach to linguistic variation. Through reference to seminal studies, as well as recent advances in the field, we examine how social factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and social network etc. impact on patterns of variation and change in English.
Aims and Objectives
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and Understanding
Having successfully completed this module, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
- • a good understanding of sociolinguistic phenomena which play a crucial role in the processes of linguistic variation and change;
- • a good understanding of key differences in English morpho-syntax, phonetics and lexicon around the world.
- • a good understanding of how linguistic variation may be quantified at different levels in English grammar: phonetic; morphosyntactic; discourse-pragmatic etc.;

Akhilesh Yadav deprived UP of development: Yogi Adityanath
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Power Minister Piyush Goel on Friday accused the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government of putting up roadblocks in the development of the state on its whims and fancies.
At a function to sign several MoUs in the power sector, Goel said that Uttar Pradesh was deprived of the benefits of the "Power for All" scheme of the central government as Akhilesh Yadav wanted his picture to be displayed over everything relating to the scheme.
As this was not possible, the scheme signed by 28 states hung fire in Uttar Pradesh until the exit of the SP government, and now that a BJP government has come to power in the state, it was being signed within one month, Goel added.
Adityanath, in his address, dittoed the charges and said that the 150 critical care ambulances, which were flagged off by him on Friday, were not accepted by the SP government for two years owing to petty political differences.
"It is sad that for two long years people of the state were deprived of a facility which could have saved the lives of many critically ill patients" Yogi rued.
He promised that the people of the state would be "VVIPs" under his regime and that no one would be discriminated against on grounds of religion, caste or political belief.
Thanking the Narendra Modi government for extending all cooperation to the new state government, the Chief Minister said that his government would ensure that the dreams of great men like Baba Saheb Ambedkar and BJP ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyay were realised for the welfare of the farmers, the marginalised and the poorest.
"The dream of 'Uday to Antyodaya' will now be fulfilled," Yogi Adityanath said while pointing out how under the past regimes only select few districts used to get 24×7 power.
"How can this be allowed?" he questioned while adding that VVIP status was no longer reserved for people or places or for that matter even caste and communities.
"For me the most important are the people of the state and we are henceforth committing ourselves to ensuring that the entire state by the end of 2018 will have 24×7 power supply," the Chief Minister added.
He also warned the people against power theft and said that it was a matter of great pride for the state government that half the street lights in Allahabad were fitted with LED bulbs within days, as the Prime Minister was scheduled to attend an event there.
"The officials are the same, we have not changed the whole lot of bureaucrats, but they are performing now. It's because earlier there was no leadership and now there is one," he chuckled, drawing peels of laughter and applause from the gathering.

In our last newsletter, Spring Delights in the East Bay, we profiled some favorite hikes in the green, rolling hills of the East Bay. This time around, short hikes with ocean views are the ticket. If you're visiting the San Francisco area and have only a couple of hours available to get outside with your pet, give these options a try.
- Tilden Regional Park: On weekends, this beloved park in the Berkeley Hills can resemble a carnival scene, and parking can be problematic. But come early or midweek, and you and Spot can enjoy spectacular views from the East Bay Skyline National Recreation Trail (also known as the Bay Area Ridge Trail) or many other paths in the 2,079-acre preserve. Got kids? Don't miss a ride on the park's dog-friendly miniature train.
- Mori Point: Sprawled over six miles of coastline just over the hills from San Francisco International Airport, the community of Pacifica is a gateway to fresh-air adventures, the most accessible of which is the three-mile trek to Mori Point, a jutting headland affording spectacular views up and down the coast. Interpretive signs along the path shed light on the region's natural and human history, and spring wildflower displays add a punch of color to the rugged diorama. If the scenery at the top looks vaguely familiar, it might be because this is where Harold drove his Jaguar off a cliff in the final scene of the 1971 black comedy Harold and Maude. Keep your dog on a leash; you wouldn't want her going over, too!
- Marin Headlands: One minute you're immersed in big-city commotion, the next minute you're enveloped in serene views you've seen a million times in photographs, but perhaps have never soaked up in person. The Marin Headlands, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, is 12,000 acres of rugged landscapes managed by the National Park Service. Only a few of its many trails are dog-friendly, but don't let that discourage you. Stop at the visitor center for a map, and then set off on all or part of a loop hike leaving from Rodeo Lagoon and incorporating parts of the Coastal, Miwok and Wolf Ridge Trails. For a treat at the end of the trek, let your dog go for a leash-free (and legal) romp on Rodeo Beach.

The QiXi Festival (Chinese: 七夕節), is a Chinese festival that celebrates the annual meeting of the cowherd and weaver girl in Chinese mythology. It falls on the seventh day of the 7th month on the Chinese calendar. The QiXi Festival in 2015 falls on August 20, 2015.
The Qixi Festival in Today's China becomes a day for lover's to express love. It is one of the two lovers'-day (the other is Western Valentine's Day) in Today's China, but is considered as a more important day than the Western Valentine's Day for its tradition and mystery.
On Qixi Festival, lovers in China will express their love by beautiful roses, pure and elegant pearls, gorgeous diamonds, carefully arranged banquet and so on. However, back to the very original, what lovers most want, are not the gifts, but the true love that the story of Niu Lang and Zhi Nü express, which is "I will be always be with you to love, honor, and cherish, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health.

With sometimes-marginalized victims slipping between jurisdictional cracks, a growing number of missing and murdered indigenous women are the enigmatic focus of a Washington bill signed into law Wednesday.
Taking aim at jurisdictional confusion and other factors, the bill creates a pair of liaison positions within the state patrol and requires the agency to develop best practices for handling the cases.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill in a brief ceremony at the state Capitol, accompanied by banging drums and a loud cheer. It also requires training for the state police in government relations with tribes.
The measure comes amid growing national awareness of the disproportionate rates of violence including sexual assault and rape that Native American women face nationally, and also particularly of the indigenous women going missing — sometimes turning up dead.
"This is not a Washington problem, it's a nationwide problem," said Rep. Gina Mosbrucker, the Goldendale Republican who sponsored the bill, after the signing. "It breaks my heart, not just for the family members, but that we didn't do something long ago."
The measure builds on a 2018 law also sponsored by Mosbrucker that boosts data collection and tracking of cases around the state.
"We're hoping this will begin a lot of the healing," said tribal activist Earth-Feather Sovereign, a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation who worked with Mosbrucker to draft the bill.
Sovereign's adopted sister Lisa Jackson, and niece, Eveona Cortez, are among the estimated dozens of unsolved cases involving tribal members across the state.
A report from the Urban Indian Health Institute, a federally funded nonprofit, found 5,712 cases of missing or murdered indigenous women and girls in the US in 2016, and ranked Washington second among states by number of cases overall.
The co-author of the report, Abigail Echo-Hawk, said in a phone interview that the figures were almost certainly an underestimate of the actual total, and that the group had found cases that were improperly classified by police.
Often going unsolved, cases of missing and murdered indigenous women can have numerous complicating factors compared to crimes committed outside of US tribal reservations.
The largest obstacle is jurisdiction, with the authority of tribal police overlapping with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of Justice, both of which investigate major crimes on reservations.
Tribal authorities have limited ability to prosecute non-tribal members, while larger agencies or off-reservation local police are sometimes perceived as not taking the cases seriously.
Socio-economic factors can also play a role, with cases in rural, economically-disadvantaged reservations not drawing the same attention from media and being associated with stereotypes about Native American women.
"We've heard reports of families calling and saying their girls are missing, and the police saying, 'Well, they probably ran away,'" said Echo-Hawk, who described herself as a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. "There's an assumption that it's our fault that we've gone missing or been murdered."
A 2016 report from the US Inspector General reflects shortcomings on the part of federal authorities, despite changes in federal law.
A 2010 federal measure, the Tribal Law and Order Act, required federal authorities to provide legal and investigative assistance and training to tribes, but the Inspector General found the Department of Justice hadn't prioritized it.
Instead, the report found that overall resources from the DOJ, which oversees the FBI and is charged with prosecuting serious crimes on reservations, had actually decreased.
And while the 2010 law required the DOJ collect data on reservation crime, the 2017 report found the agency's data collection to be "so outdated and incomplete as to be virtually useless."
Sovereign was realistic about progress at the federal level at the Wednesday signing, but said she hoped that the bill would benefit families in the state. Sovereign pointed in particular to the liaisons.
The liaisons will be stationed on the eastern and western sides of the state, and will have a basic understanding of tribal history and culture — the bill contains a requirement for them to have spent "significant experience living in tribal or urban indigenous communities."
That will increase trust with Native American communities, said Sovereign.
"They'll feel more comfortable with a better understanding that the state does take this issue seriously."

2020 MLB Draft Guide: Introduction to MLB DFS
First time dipping your toe into the MLB DFS pool? The Fantasy Alarm team has all the insights to help you get started and dominate.
The start of spring is always a great time in sports, but for many, it signals the start of the baseball season. Baseball is my favorite daily fantasy sport to play, mainly due to the opportunity to see something different each and every day. It's by far the longest season of any sport, and on most days, provides the DFS community with plenty of action. One of my favorite parts of DFS baseball is that roughly every player listed in lineup will roughly receive the same opportunity for at bats. Yes, the hitters at the top of a lineup are in a better spot than those batting eighth, but you don't have to worry about if a running back will split carries, which defensemen is on the power play, or what the usage rate is for James Harden with Russell Westbrook off the court. With baseball, all a player has to do is be in the starting lineup to have a shot to score the most points of the slate.
Baseball also has the largest amount of data available to dissect, and in my opinion, is the...
