40 years ago, tornadoes ravaged Midwest
CINCINNATI -- Forty years ago Thursday, three weather fronts started moving toward each other. When they collided, they spawned storms of astounding violence.
At least 148 deadly tornadoes tore across the Midwest on April 3, 1974, including 20 in Indiana and 26 in Kentucky. Together, the tornadoes, which meteorologists call the "Super Outbreak" — the largest such event on record — killed 330 people and injured 5,484.
Xenia became the shorthand that people used to remember the storms, and with good reason. A tornado with winds approaching 300 mph ran through the center of town, killing 32 people. More than 1,000 homes were destroyed there.
Powerful tornadoes hit Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky as well. Homes were destroyed, cars were carried away, trees were uprooted and flew through the sky. And all this time later, people remember the oddest things about the storms.
When an F5 tornado, the most powerful kind, dropped down the the Kentucky hills, crossed the Ohio River and wrecked Bev Heiding's home in Cincinnati's Sayler Park neighborhood, she was 25 years old and eight months pregnant with her second child. It was shortly after 5 p.m. and she had just made sweet and sour chicken for her husband. Everyone would be fine, but the home was destroyed. Heiding would go back day after day to see the broken windows and holes in the walls. The temperature dropped over the next few days, and all the fish in the aquarium died. She remembers those fish.
Chris Collini was 10 when the storm hit his parents' home. First the hail came, then his father, a firefighter, looked up at the sky and told everybody to get down in the basement and under the pool table. The home was picked up by the tornado, moved 18 inches and dropped again, ruined. Collini never spent another night in it. That night, at Sayler Park Elementary School, Collini and his best friend Dennis figured they would probably never see each other again because their community was so badly damaged.
They made a vow that they would return to the school six years later on April 3 because they would be able to drive by then. "Of course neither one of us moved, we saw each other practically every day," Collini said. He remembers the pact.
Sallie Brandabur lived in Xenia when the tornado that changed the town forever touched down. Brandabur's daughters were watching a rerun of "Leave it to Beaver." The boys were down the alley playing basketball. She saw something scroll across the bottom of the television screen but didn't pay it much attention. Her husband had stopped at the fish market because it was Lent and she was trying to decide if she should freeze it or put it in the refrigerator. Friday was in two days.
Then the birds stopped chirping, she said, and the tornado hit. Brandabur's home was damaged, but not destroyed. The town's lovely old trees were down nearly everywhere she looked. In the weeks after, Brandabur would sit on her porch with the women on the street while their children played. Every afternoon she saw large dump trucks rolling down the street. "They were carrying away our town," Brandabur said. "You knew it was homes and churches and schools and trees. It was all being carried away." She remembers the dump trucks.
The Xenia tornado and the Sayler Park tornado were both F5 on the Fujita Scale, a measurement of a tornado's damage potential. An F5 is the highest ranking, meaning it is capable of tearing strong frame houses off foundations. The winds of an F5 can surpass 300 mph.
The Sayler Park tornado was one of three that touched down in the Cincinnati metro area that day. Two of them had twin funnels, making them even more dangerous, according to the National Weather Service. Four people died here that day.
The National Weather Service called April 3 and 4 "the worst tornado outbreak in U.S. history." The storms raged for 16 hours and covered more than 2,500 miles.
Most devastating was the strength of those tornadoes. That storm created 30 tornadoes ranked as F4 and F5. The national average is seven of those types of tornadoes per year, according to the weather service.
That day also represented a turning point for the weather service. Ken Haydu is the meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Wilmington.
He joined the weather service in 1978, and knows how many changes happened after the Super Outbreak.
"We were still using hand-me-down military radar in 1974," Haydu said. Forecasters with the weather service could see only blobs on radar screens and had to wait for visual confirmation of a tornado before issuing a tornado warning.
And communication with the public, to warn people of imminent danger, was far slower.
"In 1974 we were feeding paper tapes into a teletype machines," Haydu said. "Those messages would go to newsrooms and you hoped people would see them."
He said Congress started appropriating more money to the weather service immediately after the storms, which meant better forecasting technology and more advanced communication. "I cannot say that happened because of the 1974 tornadoes," Haydu said. "But it might have been."
Now, technology is vastly improved and the communication systems are significantly enhanced.
And for good reason.
"This type of storm has happened before," Haydu said. "It will happen again."
Bev Eiding still lives in Sayler Park. She and her husband lost their house that day and had to move for a couple years, but they came back and she now lives just three blocks away. She was 25 when that tornado hit and is 65 now, but she still remembers every bit of it.
It was the first warm day of the spring, she said, so she wore a maternity smock for the first time in her pregnancy. She can recall the suddenly dark sky and the violent hailstorm just as she was setting dinner on the table.
"Hail that was so big, it was breaking windows, it was terrifying," Eiding said. When the hail stopped, her husband, Ed, went outside to check the damage. That's when he looked across the river and saw the tornado.
The Eidings were just starting out, so they rented the upstairs to a couple with a small child. Ed Eiding yelled for everyone to get to the basement. The two couples, with their two small children, ran to the basement and then into the coal storage room.
"We went in there and I prayed and I prayed," Eiding said. The room had just one light bulb, it started swinging back and forth and then it went out. "It felt like a monster was shaking our home."
And then it stopped and they went outside when it was getting light again. The roof was gone, most of the second floor was gone and all the trees were down. Six weeks later, 6626 River Road was torn down.
Chris Collini remembers running around his front yard picking up hail like he had never seen before when his father's voice changed and he told everybody to get to the basement. They were all under the pool table when they made their dad run upstairs to try to save a stray dog that had been hanging around the house, an idea that can only be described as ill advised. "We were on him pretty good, I guess," Collini said.
Charles Collini went up the stairs and then turned right around; the tornado had arrived. "He dove down the stairs head-first, like Pete Rose," Collini said. The stray dog did not make it. Neither did 6840 Parkland Ave.
The Brandabur's home survived. Sallie can still remember walking up from the basement after the tornado. She thought she would see some damage. It was far worse than that.
"I walked outside. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It was so much. I'll never forget all those trees," Brandabur said. That night all six children slept in their parents' bedroom because Sallie did not want to let them out of her sight.
Half her town was gone. One thousand homes destroyed. Seven of 12 schools in Xenia and nine churches were beyond repair. Looking back now Brandabur says she knows how lucky she was that day. Her daughters were home, her sons were close and her husband was dropping off fish from the market.
"To this day I am so grateful that the children were nearby," Brandabur said. "And that they came when we called them. It was a miracle."

This is better a clear explanation for the actual initiation of plate tectonics. As far as Venus is concerned, I suspect that it is just too early.
There is also erosion transport that needs to be considered which also happens on the margins. That could also be enough to provide a nudge.
Yet we see gross subsidence in the Rift Valley and gross upheaval and spreading in the mid-Atlantic Ridge. That suggests much more.
Scientists Unravel One Of The Keys To Life On Earth — And It's Right Beneath Your Feet
By Leslie Baehr |
An idealized version of the earliest plate tectonics. The blue areas are the rigid plates. The red, yellow, and green areas are the boundaries.
Scientists are constantly on a mission to untangle how Earth alone among the planets was able to evolve complex life.
Scientists know that Earth's past internal movements of the tectonic plates under our feet make our planet one-of-a-kind — they trapped carbon dioxide which helped make our planet habitable.
A new study, published in the April 6 issue of the journal Nature, may have figured out the mystery of how these plates formed — and why only Earth has them.
These are the Earth's major tectonic plates. The arrows show which way the boundaries are moving.
Plates cover the entire Earth, and their boundaries play an important role in geologic happenings. The movement of these plates atop a thick, fluid "mantle" is known as plate tectonics and is the source of earthquakes and volcanoes. Plates crash together to make mountains, such as the Himalayas. They leave trenches where one slips beneath the other. They make giant rift valleys and ridges when going their separate ways.
The process is actually very important to life on Earth. Several billion years ago, the surface of our Earth began forming into puzzle pieces called plates. This process trapped our atmospheric carbon dioxide into rocks and stabilized our climate, making Earth habitable.
A Mylonite mystery
How this developed has been a mystery for centuries. But one feature present at all plate boundaries could be the clue needed to crack the mystery: a rock called mylonite.
Mylonite rocks show up at every plate boundary and have puzzled scientists since at least the late 1800s.
"Their presence is a bit of a mystery," study researcher David Bercovici, of Yale University, told Business Insider. "There are well-known observations of mylonite at all different kinds of plate boundaries and there's been a long debate about what causes them."
Mylonite from the Southern Alps
Mylonite is a highly deformed rock, which makes it the size of a small piece of grain. Small grain-size equals a weaker rock. Since these rocks occur around all plate boundaries, their deformation and subsequent weakness piqued Bercovici's interest.
"It was a big motivation for developing this theory in the first place," said Bercovici who worked with Yankick Ricard of the Université de Lyon on the study.
Using a set of laws to describe how grains evolve and "many many pages of physics," Bercovici and Ricard were able to calculate how the birth of plate tectonics may have come about. Bercovici began with the idea that, back when Earth was just a ball of hot goo, certain parts of the surface would become cooler than others and sink. These areas were called downwellings. "You can see this happen in a cup of coffee or soup," he said.
Downwellings cause deformation of the sinking material as it bends downward. In the globe to the right, the blue is a sinking area on the Earth's surface, the beginnings of a plate boundary.
"The idea of our model is that if I deform a rock, I'll actually make the grains smaller." Smaller grains equal weaker rock and a weaker rock means it will more easily succumb to future deformations.
This creates a feedback loop where Earth's slowly cooling crust accumulates weak zones. "And you accumulate enough of these weak zones and you'll eventually get plate boundaries," he said.
In the globe to the right, the sinking from the red globe above has created a convergent boundary — in blue — where plates move together. This pulls on the rest of the Earth's surface, eventually forming a divergent boundary — in red — where plates move away from each other. Once a piece of Earth's surface is enclosed by boundaries, it becomes a moving plate.
On Venus, damaged areas of the crust were never able accumulate into boundaries because it was too hot. The weak zones healed relatively quickly and the planet was never able to develop plate tectonics.
Venus' plates never trapped CO2, never cooled, and the impact on the planet's atmosphere makes it uninhabitable.

Chelsea have parted company with manager Roberto Di Matteo just six months after the Italian led the London club to a first Champions League title.
-Champions League PIX: Messi fires Barca into last 16
The European champions moved quickly to remove Di Matteo following Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Juventus left the title-holders on the brink of elimination from a tournament they won on a memorable night in Munich on May 19.
-Messi goes second in Champions League scoring chart
The club would make an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager, Chelsea said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season," Chelsea said on their website.
-Henry could return for third Arsenal spell: Wenger
"The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions.
-Messi sends Barca through, Chelsea lose to Juventus
"The owner and the Board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March. Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA Cup.
"We will never forget the huge contribution he has made to this club's history and he will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge," the statement said.
Di Matteo took Chelsea to Champions League and FA Cup glory last season as caretaker manager following the sacking of Portuguese Andre Villas-Boas and was given the job on a permanent basis in June.
The Italian was the eighth manager to have worked under owner Roman Abramovich since the Russian billionaire brought the Premier League club in 2003.
Chelsea made a flying start to the season under Di Matteo, winning seven and drawing one of their opening eight Premier League games to go four points clear at the top of the table.
Since then, however, they have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions, slipped to third in the league and are on the brink of suffering the ignominy of becoming first holders to go out of the Champions League at the group stage.

To piggyback on the previous article, let's review how the securitization process IGNORED risk and thus created over leverage… The Seattle Times just wrote a piece about Wa Mu and how their practices destroyed risk assessment, ultimately leading to their demise:
Reckless strategies doomed WaMu
Execs say WaMu fell victim to the economy & employment; but WaMu caused its demise by embracing risky loans and dismantling safeguards
By Drew DeSilver
On Sept. 10, 2007, Washington Mutual CEO Kerry Killinger stood before an audience of analysts and money managers and assured them the Seattle-based thrift would come out of the housing slump stronger than ever.
WaMu, Killinger told the Lehman Brothers conference, had tightened its lending standards, could access plenty of cash, and was "picking and choosing carefully" when it came to making new loans.
"This frankly may be one of the best times I have ever seen for taking on new loans into our portfolio," he said.
But even as he spoke, WaMu was a dead bank walking. The company had plunged headlong into the business of making exotic, high-risk home loans, selling many of them to investors but holding onto others; now defaults on those loans were rising, and big investors had lost their taste for them.
Almost a year to the day after the Lehman conference, Killinger was fired. Two and a half weeks after that, federal regulators seized WaMu's banking units, effectively euthanizing a 119-year-old institution that had survived the Great Depression and the S&L crisis.
After its collapse, Killinger and other leading WaMu executives repeatedly deflected responsibility, saying the company fell victim to a housing slump turned global credit crisis that they foresaw but couldn't outrun.
But interviews with former WaMu executives and employees, along with government and internal company documents, reveal a far different picture, one of executives charting a reckless course that doomed the bank:By the summer of 2004, nearly 60 percent of the loans WaMu was making were the riskiest sort — option ARMs, subprime mortgages and home-equity loans.
• In its headlong pursuit of growth, WaMu systematically dismantled or weakened the internal controls meant to prevent the bank from taking on too much risk — the very standards and practices that had helped it grow in the first place.
• WaMu's riskiest loans raked in money from high fees, but because the bank skimped on making sure borrowers could repay them, they eventually failed at disastrously high rates. As loans went bad, they sucked massive amounts of cash that WaMu needed to stay in business.
• WaMu's subprime home loans failed at the highest rates in nation. Foreclosure rates for subprime loans made from 2005 to 2007 — the peak of the boom — were calamitous. In the 10 hardest-hit cities, more than a third of WaMu subprime loans went into foreclosure.
The demise of Wa Mu was easy to see coming. Mish, me, and others tracked their mortgage pools and watched as delinquencies soared. In fact, it was so easy to see coming that I stated well over a year before it happened that they would fail. They did, but we still have a not-so-little problem…
You see, they made a huge number of JUMBO Option-Arm loans that are just now hitting their reset periods and they do not peak until the middle of the year 2011. A very high percentage of loans are going bad. The questions I ask now are; where are they, who holds them, how many times were the same loans sold in differing tranches, and how much risk are the holders of this toxic waste exposed to?
Instead of letting Wa Mu go completely down the toilet, the government (remember the central banks are now the government) decided that JPMorgan would take over Wa Mu. Thus, all of Wa Mu's "assets" (bad loans) are now owned by JPM, unless they have been able to dump them on hapless "investors" or the U.S. Taxpayer. I sincerely doubt that they have managed to get rid of the bulk of it, but regardless, those time bombs are sitting out in our financial system just ticking away, backed by homes worth a fraction of what they once were. JPM holds more than $80 TRILLION worth of derivatives. While I can't see exactly what's going on with the securitization process (who can?), what I can see is the swamp, and the swamp is beginning to smell worse and worse.
Those who think that the financial crisis is over are simply living with their noses buried in the sand. The large banks and the government are complicit in trying to hide the rotting smell. Their fraud and deception are going to be the end of both, just as Wa Mu's recklessness was the end of them.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – A former hedge fund manager convicted of insider trading charges for making as much as $50 million on a tip about Dell earnings is seeking leniency at a New York sentencing.
Lawyers for Manhattan resident Anthony Chiasson (chee-AY'-suhn) say he made less than a half-million dollars from illegal trades. The government has said he earned more than $50 million on a tip received about Dell Inc. stock in 2008.
The defence arguments were submitted to the sentencing judge Tuesday. The government will file a response. Sentencing is set for May 13.
Chiasson is the founder of Greenwich, Conn.-based Level Global Investors. He was convicted last year.
When the charges were first announced, prosecutors said the Dell trades represented the largest insider trading transaction ever prosecuted in Manhattan.

Tenth Avenue North: In Passionate Pursuit
- Kevan Breitinger CMCentral.com
- 2008 14 May
New Reunion Records recording artist Tenth Avenue North is preparing for the release of its debut, Over and Underneath, releasing May 20.
In between tour dates opening for MercyMe and David Crowder Band, front man Mike Donehey took the time to introduce the band and its new record.
Visit http://www.tenthavenuenorth.com/download/ from now through May 20 and enter the code tenthlovesccm to redeem a free download of the band's hit single, "Love Is Here" from the debut, Over and Underneath.
CMCentral: Thanks for making the time to talk today, Mike. I spent the day yesterday with the new album and read a lot on your web site. It seems to me that you have the heart of a teacher.
Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North): You would be fair in saying that, yes. I think I have a heart for helping other people understand things that really moved me or helped me. If I grasp a new truth and it changes something in my heart, then I always, naturally, want other people to experience it.
Well, that is the heart of a teacher. You're doing most of the writing for the band, aren't you?
Well, on this record [Over and Underneath] I did most of the writing, although I also wrote with a few outside writers. But we composed all the music together. It's just the lyrics I wrote on my own.
So in having a teacher's heart, are the lyrics more crucial to you than the music?
They say the melody is like the first date, and the words are what keep the relationship going with the song. So I recognize that without a good melody, no one's going to want to hear what you have to say. But for me, ultimately what's most important is what we're saying, not just how we're saying it.
I read that your mission was to know Christ and make Him known, so I thought you might feel that way.
Westminster Catechism says that the chief end of man is to enjoy God and glorify Him forever.
The album is so worshipful, and I found that very provocative considering your mission. Do you believe that authentic worship can pierce the heart of an unbeliever and reach him for God?
Colossians says, "Whatever you do, do with all your heart," and Romans 12 says, "In view of God's mercy, offer your body as a living sacrifice. This is your spiritual act of worship." So I think when an unbeliever sees not just worship, but worship that is driven and fueled by God's mercy, I think that is what opens people to the gospel.
There is a worship that is pretentious and "put on," motivated by a desire to be seen, and then there's the authentic worship that Romans 12 speaks of: "In view of God's mercy, offer your body as worship." So the focus for me in worship is to give people a clear picture of Romans 1 through 11, of justification by faith, through grace. That statement, about offering your body as worship, hinges upon viewing God's mercy and the 11 chapters that preceded that statement. So that's why our worship [needs] to be worship that teaches, if that makes sense.
That does make a lot of sense, and I can relate to it because I am somebody who really came to Christ initially through experiencing worship music. I didn't understand the whole message immediately, of course, but my spirit recognized its authenticity. So when I read your mission, I thought maybe that's where you were coming from.
The Bible says that David played for Saul, and the evil spirit that tormented him left him. So we can never underestimate what goes on when music gets played. I'm not sure I understand it completely.
If we think we understand it completely, it shows how little we know.
Yeah, like Psalm 32 says, "The Lord is enthroned, or inhabits, the praises of Israel." I don't even get that, but I know supernaturally, somehow when we praise in response to what He's done for us, He is there in it.
Oh, I so love that verse! So I read a story telling how you got serious about music following a car accident?
Actually, I hadn't even played guitar before. In my senior year of high school, I was thrown out of a flipping vehicle, and broke my back in a couple places, and my head. I was in Intensive Care; they thought I was going to die and all that. So I was laid up for a month on my back and thought, I'm not gonna be able to play sports my whole life. Maybe I should think about playing an instrument. So I asked for a guitar for Christmas, and that's how I got started.
But you were a believer at the time of your accident?
Yeah, the summer before that I actually had a really significant spiritual experience. I grew up in Christian school, which can really promote a lot of lethargy in you somehow. But I went to this magnet art program for a month that summer and was surrounded by non-believers. Well, I shouldn't say non-believers because everyone believes in something. But I was surrounded by people who don't believe in Christ, and I found myself defending my beliefs very strongly.
It forced me to see how much I really believed it. Right after that real spiritual wake-up that summer, He sealed the deal by showing me, "Remember, you can die anytime that I want you to die." So my life verse after that accident was from Job 34, where it says, "If God withdrew His spirit and breath, all mankind would die." People say to me, "I wish I had an experience like that," but to that I say, "If you're here, the only reason you're alive is because God is saying, 'Breathe.'"
Well, I guess that explains the strong theme of surrender that runs through Over and Underneath.
I think it woke me up to the fleeting nature of this world and everything in it. In Hebrews 10, it says that Moses regarded the reproach of Christ to be of greater worth than the treasures of Egypt because he was looking forward to the reward. The Bible says, "Consider, oh man, that you are just a vapor." We're here for just a little while, and when you really start to grasp that, it's easier to place your treasure in things other than this world. It's a treasure-delighting issue, at its very core.
We are made for pleasure, you know. Blaise Pascal even said that everything that a man does is motivated by his desire for joy. Even a man who kills himself does so because he thinks that's going to give him freedom. To quote C.S. Lewis, "It's not that our desires are too strong; they are too weak, for we are far too easily pleased."
Wow, you love to talk about the Word, don't you?
Oh, come on.
That's a beautiful thing. I know you're doing some writing now, too. I guess it's the overflow of your heart to teach.
And here's the temptation: why do I write? Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are thirsty, out of you will flow rivers of living water." Is my writing, my song-playing, a grateful reaction to the mercy I've been given in Christ? Is Christ using me, or am I using Christ? As we get more attention, I've found that is the temptation. Now I can put it on cruise control, and I can use Christ to write songs and get popular and make everybody love me. One of the songs on the record is called "Satisfy," and it says, "Satisfy me in the morning with Your unfailing love." Otherwise I'm going to look elsewhere to get my validation and satisfaction.
I know exactly what you're saying, and I think we all struggle with that question to some degree. I can become tricked or lured into spending so much time checking my own heart, that without realizing it, my attention can become completely focused on myself. I finally had to come to the point of trust, of trusting the Lord Himself to keep me in check.
The point of the gospel is not to think higher or lower of yourself. The point of the gospel is to think of yourself less.
Exactly. That's real humility, focusing more on Jesus than ourselves.
My friend always says the world is like a magnet, pulling you away from God and on to yourself, but Christ frees us finally from that constant struggle.
I wanted to close, Mike, by congratulating you on your engagement. That was a beautiful story that you shared online about your proposal, and I hope it's OK to ask you this, but did you really wash her feet in the course of the evening that you proposed? I was really moved that you recognized the spirituality of that moment.
Yes, I did because it says, "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church." Christ washed the disciples' feet, so if I'm going to love my wife the way that Christ loves me, then I need to out-serve her.
That's the right attitude to go in with. When are you getting married?
May 4.
Oh, awesome, congratulations!
Thank you, I'm very excited.

Millions march in France and around the world in support of Charlie Hebdo
Monday, January 12, 2015
Following the shootings at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, millions of people turned out yesterday for marches in Paris, in cities across France, and around the world. Reported estimates of between 1.5 and 2 million people rallied in Paris, and the French interior ministry estimated 3.7 million or more rallied across France.
44 world leaders attended the Paris march including French President François Hollande; German Chancellor Angela Merkel; British Prime Minister David Cameron; Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy; Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi; the President of Mali, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority; King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan; Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu; the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov; the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban; and the President of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba.
US Ambassador to France Jane D. Hartley attended. White House Spokesman Josh Earnest responded to criticism for not sending a higher level representative on behalf of the United States: "It is fair to say we should have sent someone with a higher profile."

The Italian Academy, Columbia University
1161 Amsterdam Avenue, 212-854-2306
April 6 - May 3, 2011
Reception: Wednesday, April 6, 6 - 8 PM
Web Site
Cinematography. Doubt. Folly. Rationality and irrationality merging across the background of the New York metropolitan area.
Cinematography of Urban Madness is a project of artistic contamination and synthesis between cinematographic and photographic narrative. Focusing his attention on the image seen as a film still, Italian artist Pietro Reviglio recreates fragments of an imaginary screenplay revolving around the figure of an artist and his studio, a New York interior in which alienation intertwines with folly and tension gives way to violence.
The project combines elements of photography, video and writing, to unveil the dark side of the artistic practice, its places, subjects and objects, mixing cinematographic fiction with autobiographical material. Through contrasting narrative and image, and eliminating all cause and effect relations, Reviglio recreates the scrambled structure of distorted thought, investigating the very process of visual narrative and challenging its canons.
On the occasion of the exhibition's opening reception, there will be a presentation and signing of the artist's book Cinematography of Urban Madness, 53rd title of the disegnodiverso series curated by noted art editor Paola Gribaudo.
Born in Turin, Italy in 1976, Pietro Reviglio has exhibited in the United States, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. He studied at the Art Students League and received his PhD in Astrophysics at Columbia University. Applying a scientific approach to the analysis of visual elements and using physics as a pictorial medium, his work experiments with the physical process of image formation and perception, visual narrative and the kinematics of images, exploring the borderline between the rational and the irrational, the conceptual and the physical, and the mathematically predictable and the stochastic.
The exhibition will be open on weekdays from 9.30 am – 4.30 pm.

In this course, we will meet online to devise and improvise stories happening in alternative universes. After warming-up, we will practise in small groups to eventually perform in front of all participants. You will also receive documentation to study during and between classes.
Who: This course is not open to the general public. It is not an entry-level course, and you must complete at least two other impro courses with us, sometimes more, (depending on your progress and appetite for risk-taking) before joining. Ask your imprology facilitator for details.
Benefits: Encourages interaction; Increases self-awareness; Facilitates fluent behaviours; Improves resilience; Enhances presentation skills; Demystifies creativity; Fosters cooperation; Strengthens problem-solving skills; Promotes authenticity; Rewards curiosity.
Scoop: Flow, lightness and congruence. You will learn to improvise plays. You will achieve this by performing stories containing multiple scenes.
Structure: Each class usually consists of three periods. First, we breathe and relax with the entire group. Then we practice games, in pairs or groups, with everyone taking part at the same time. In the end, we practice scenes, with performers playing in front of the other participants on a voluntary basis. A beginners class will concentrate on the two first periods, while an advanced class will make more space for scene work and story-telling.
Method: Our classes are highly interactive and conditioned by the level of pleasure and energy in the room. We take the time to unwind and warm-up properly, and put our attention on space and movements as much as dialogues. Our guiding principles are complicity, pleasure and forgiveness.
Pace: The speed at which students acquire the necessary skills depends on each individual. The confidence to speak with ease in front of an audience manifests sooner or later, through voice and body training, as well as repeated exposure. The capacity to listen and adjust in real time to any given situation is harder to master. Participants will need to give themselves the freedom to experiment and the permission to fail.
Learning: Some of the learning takes place in stages and each session is dedicated to a particular aspect of improvisation. Other times learning happens in a breakthrough. As you play or watch other people play you suddenly realise something about yourself or the way you do things. A moment of clarity that has to be experienced and cannot be imparted. Receiving feedback will help you make sense of it all.
Remy investigates, teaches, directs and performs ensemble improvisation on stage and in the visual arts. He has been teaching improvisation at imprology and other institutions since 2006, both in London and internationally. He has directed several large scale performances with Zootrophic, a cross-discipline improvisation ensemble, co-directed a few improvised short films with Peter Snowdon and is hosting Love Explosion, a regular improvised feast open to all, currently at the Camden People's Theatre, London.
He has trained most recently with John Write (Impro, Clown) Kate Hilder and Sten Rudstrom (Action Theatre) Mary Overlie (Six Viewpoints), Lee Simpson (Open Space, Impro), Lucy Hopkins (Clown) and Punch Drunk (Immersive Theatre), among others.
Beyound Keith Johnstone, Viola Spolin and Del Close, his teaching is informed by Viewpoints, Playback Theatre, Action Theatre, Forum Theatre, Instant Acting, mask-making and cognitive sciences. He has learned most from his students and teaches improvisation as a transformational process focusing on pleasure, curiosity and courage.

Junior Daniel Klase placed 14th in the men's javelin on Thursday, just two spots away from qualifying to Eugene.
Day 1 Blog Liberty junior Daniel Klase just missed out on a trip to Eugene on the opening day of the 2014 NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round meet, Thursday at North Florida's Hodges Stadium. He finished 14th in the men's javelin, just two places and four feet, seven inches away from advancing to the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Klase battled less than ideal conditions during his NCAA Preliminary Round debut, as he had to warm up twice, sandwiching a two and a half hour lightning delay. Despite all of that and a slick runway, the Keystone State native's very first attempt sailed 213-2. The second-longest throw of his career stood up as the best in his flight and enabled him to qualify for the men's javelin finals. Klase's impressive series of six throws also included marks of 210-9 and 209-7. However, he was unable to improve his position during finals and ended up two spots behind Louisiana Tech junior Joshua Cox, who earned the 12th and final Eugene berth at 217-9. Klase defeated the national No. 1 seed, Tennessee's Kyle Quinn, who finished a disappointing 18th at 210-7. Klase also posted the highest finish by a Big South Conference men's javelin thrower at this meet since Coastal Carolina's Jason Flanagan was ninth in 2012. Senior ConRoy Smith wrapped up his career during the first round of the men's 100-meter dash Thursday evening. This year's Big South men's 100 champion placed seventh in his heat and 36th overall in the first round, clocking a time of 10.76 seconds into a headwind. He leaves Liberty as the third-fastest men's 100 runner in program history with his personal best of 10.45. Redshirt senior Meghan Burggraf also ran the final race of her collegiate career under the Hodges Stadium lights on Thursday. The five-time Big South 800-meter champion clocked an 800 time of 2:07.44, the second-fastest outdoor mark of her career. That placed fifth in her heat and 34th in the opening round of the event. Friday's opening event will be the men's hammer at 10 a.m. However, Liberty's day will not begin until 3:30 p.m., when junior Jennifer Nicholson throws the discus.

Vail Valley Voices: Around town with Eagle Town Board
Vail, CO, Colorado
At the latest meeting to a fairly empty room, the proposed Haymeadow file was approved with a 5-2 vote by the Eagle Board of Trustees.
This sketch plan approval allows the developer to go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission with details for their plan for 809 residential units (not including accessory dwelling units allowed on single family homes).
That was the main topic for the public portion of the , which started out with a liquor license request for a fundraising event for the Education Foundation of Eagle County (www.efec.org) to be held on Nov. 3 at the Brush Creek Pavilion in Eagle. Pazzos' liquor license was also approved with no issues.
Besides Haymeadow and liquor licenses, a payment of the bills was authorized, the water treatment plant special use permit was again delayed to a future meeting, and a summary from staff on the approach for the travel management plan was presented.
There was an informative presentation on possible ECO bus shelters by Trustee Joe Knabel, as the Town Board is considering making an architectural statement with new bus shelters along Highway 6, at the Chambers park-and-ride (to be redone as part of the Eby Creek road improvements), and at the downtown park location.
Open discussion included the controversial proposal in the works for a community after-care treatment facility on Church Street, as board members are hearing daily from concerned citizens. Although this application has yet to be officially filed, it seems that Planning and Zoning Commission hearings will soon be packed if this proposal moves forward.
The board OK'd the Eagle Chamber using rent-free office space at Town Hall to support their momentum as of late, which includes soon hiring a paid staff person.
I then requested direction from the board on my budget preparation-report changes that I would like to see considered as we review the 2013 budget and move into the new year. It did not seem from the response of staff and some other long-serving board members that this was a normal request from a board member. You can check out my blog (www.brandionboard.wordpress.com) to see the information I provided the board and staff for consideration. Of course, budget work sessions are open to the public, so come see how your tax dollars are being managed on Oct. 23 and Oct. 30.
A joint meeting with the Gypsum Town Council at the Gypsum Shooting Sports Club on Oct. 25 was also confirmed.
After open discussion, the board then went into executive session to discuss the succession plan of two long-term employees, the town manager and the town clerk. This discussion took the meeting to around 10 p.m.
If you are ever wondering about what is going on in Eagle and need something to do on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, come to 200 Broadway at 6 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday.
Eagle Town Board member Brandi Resa is maneuvering through her first political position. Her opinions do not necessarily represent the rest of the board. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 970-390-0228.

Caretaker accused of draining elderly woman's $250,000 bank account
Annette Turner faces 8 counts of financial exploitation
A metro woman tasked with caring for an 88-year-old Nichols Hills woman stole from her instead, investigators said.
Annette Turner has been charged with eight counts of financial exploitation of an elderly person by a caretaker. Turner is accused of draining the unnamed woman's bank account over a long period of time.
Detectives said the victim and suspect walked in and out of an area bank countless times over the last five years. Over time, one bank employee grew suspicious and called police.
Nichols Hills Police Detective Casey Nix said the woman's bank account had $250,000 in it at one time and that it had been depleted to almost nothing.
According to police, Turner began caring for the woman after she suffered a stroke in 2007. They said the victim would give Turner blank checks for things like groceries, adult diapers or her medicines -- and then Turner would go on shopping sprees.
Within six months, the woman's grocery bill topped $5,000.
Turner is already a felon, previously convicted of drug possession and distribution.

Nov-12-2009 Two Municipalities Receive COAH Certification
Two Municipalities Receive COAH Certification
TRENTON - Two more municipalities received substantive certification under the Council on Affordable Housing's (COAH) revised third round rules. The action came during today's COAH Board meeting. The municipalities are Rockleigh Borough in Bergen County and Somerdale Borough in Camden County.
"It is important, now more than ever, to provide working families, senior citizens and special needs residents with good, affordable places to live. The fact that COAH has certified affordable housing plans for 50 towns shows we are making real progress," said New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Acting Commissioner Charles A. Richman, who also chairs the COAH Board. "Rockleigh and Somerdale boroughs and all the other municipalities that have received certification over the past seven months are to be commended for their commitment to providing their fair share of affordable housing."
The two municipalities join Allendale Borough, Andover Township, Beverly City, Blairstown Township, Boonton Town, Cape May City, Cape May Point Borough, Clayton Borough, Collingswood Borough, Delaware Township, Eastampton Township, East Brunswick Township, Flemington Borough, Florence Township, Frelinghuysen Township, Frenchtown Borough, Harding Township, Hardyston Township, Knowlton Township, Lawrence Township (Mercer County), Maplewood Township, Middletown Township, Milford Borough, Millville City, Montclair Township, Netcong Borough, North Hanover Township, Old Bridge Township, Orange City, Palmyra Borough, Peapack & Gladstone Borough, Pennsauken Township, Pennsville Township, Pine Hill Township, Piscataway Township, Plainsboro Township, Readington Township, Robbinsville Township, Rocky Hill Borough, Roxbury Township, Sandyston Township, South Hackensack Township, South Plainfield Borough, Springfield Township, Stockton Borough, Stone Harbor Borough, Upper Pittsgrove Township and West Amwell Township as the first 50 towns in the state to receive certification under the third round rules.
The third round rules are COAH's regulations governing affordable housing obligations through 2018. Under the plans certified for these 50 municipalities, 9,223 newly constructed affordable units have already been completed, with another 3,956 proposed. Additionally, 640 units have already been rehabilitated, with another 1,189 proposed.
Substantive certification is COAH's determination that a municipal fair share plan presents a realistic opportunity for the production of affordable housing to address the town's portion of the affordable housing need. The substantive certifications granted to these 50 municipalities are valid for 10 years from the municipality's date of petition and provide protection from builder's remedy lawsuits.
COAH, an affiliate of the DCA, facilitates the production of sound, affordable housing for low and moderate income households by providing the most effective process to municipalities, housing providers, nonprofit and for profit developers to address a constitutional obligation within the framework of sound, comprehensive planning.

Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is swelling of the tendons that bend your wrist backward away from your palm.
A tendon is a tough cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones. The tendon most likely involved in tennis elbow is called the extensor carpi radialis brevis. Tennis elbow is usually diagnosed in both men and women between the ages of 30 to 50 years.
Tennis elbow, as the name implies, is often caused by the force of the tennis racket hitting balls in the backhand position. Your forearm muscles, which attach to the outside of your elbow, may become sore from excessive strain. When making a backhand stroke in tennis, the tendons that roll over the end of our elbow can become damaged. Tennis elbow may be caused by:
However, many people who suffer from tennis elbow do not play tennis. The problem can be caused by any repetitive movement. Other causes of tennis elbow include:
The following are the most common symptoms of tennis elbow. However, you may experience symptoms differently.
At first, you may have pain, burning, or an ache along the outside of your forearm and elbow. With time, the pain gets worse. If you continue the activity that caused your condition, the pain may spread down to your wrist, even at rest. Pain may also persist when you place your arm and hand palm-down on a table, and then try to raise your hand against resistance. You may also feel pain when you try to lift and grip small objects, such as a coffee cup. A weak grip is another symptom of tennis elbow.
The symptoms of tennis elbow may resemble other medical problems or conditions. Always see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
Your health care provider can usually diagnosis your tennis elbow by a physical exam. In some cases, you may certain tests, such as:
It's important to avoid the movement that caused your injury in the first place. Treatment may include:
If these treatments do not work, your health care provider may talk to you about:

The coveted Calder Cup has been a motivational force for American Hockey League teams throughout the League's 83-year history. It is one of our sport's greatest challenges and ultimate honors to hoist the Calder Cup in victory.
The trophy is named for Frank Calder, who served as the National Hockey League's first President from 1917 to 1943. During the 1920's, Mr. Calder was instrumental in guiding hockey into the mainstream of America's major cities including Boston, New York, Detroit and Chicago, while helping in the formation of the American League.
The Calder Cup trophy itself was actually first awarded in 1938 to the Providence Reds for winning the second International-American Hockey League championship. (In 1996, George Parsons of the Syracuse Stars was presented the Calder Cup in a ceremony at the Onondaga County War Memorial, as it is believed the Stars never received a trophy for their 1937 championship.)
In 2001, the trophy's base was changed to include two tiers of plaques, which feature the rosters of each of the last 20 Calder Cup champions; the plaques from all previous champions are on display in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. The entire Calder Cup trophy now stands 24 inches tall and weighs 25 pounds. The bowl, made of sterling silver, is 12 inches high and eight inches in diameter. The hardwood base is made of Brazilian mahogany.
A total of 33 different cities have had their AHL member club win the Calder Cup, led by Hershey with 11 and Cleveland with 10. Springfield (seven), Rochester (six), Providence (five), Chicago (two) and Grand Rapids (two) are the other active cities with more than one title.
Twenty-nine members of the Hockey Hall of Fame have won the Calder Cup in their careers, including Johnny Bower, Terry Sawchuk, Emile Francis, Gerry Cheevers, Al Arbour, Andy Bathgate, Larry Robinson, Doug Harvey, Patrick Roy and Fred Shero.
Not only have great players won the Calder Cup, but outstanding coaches have also hoisted the AHL's championship trophy. Hall of Famer Fred "Bun" Cook holds the distinction of winning seven Calder Cups in his career; no other AHL head coach has ever won more than three. Current NHL head coaches with Calder Cup titles on their resumes include Barry Trotz (Portland, 1994), John Tortorella (Rochester, 1996), Peter Laviolette (Providence, 1999), Todd McLellan (Houston, 2003), Bruce Boudreau (Hershey, 2006), Jon Cooper (Norfolk, 2012), Jeff Blashill (Grand Rapids, 2013) and Jared Bednar (Lake Erie, 2016).
More than 100 players and coaches have won both the Calder Cup and Stanley Cup in their careers, including Ace Bailey, Brian Engblom, Dick Gamble, Butch Goring, Adam Graves, Peter Mahovlich, Kirk Maltby, Ab McDonald, Patrick Sharp, Fred Shero, Brian Skrudland, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Braden Holtby and John Carlson.
Two-time Calder Cup champion Darren Haydar is the AHL's all-time leader in playoff goals (63) and points (143), and three-time winner Bryan Helmer has played in more Calder Cup Playoff games (159) than anyone else. Marcel Paille's 49 playoff victories are the most ever by a goaltender, and Bill McDougall set single-season records that may never be broken when he tallied 26 goals, 26 assists and 52 points during the 1993 postseason with the Cape Breton Oilers.
Four men share the honor of having won the most Calder Cups during their playing careers: Bob Solinger, Les Duff, Fred Glover and Mike Busniuk each skated to five titles.
Calder Cup-winning teams have impacted significantly on the success of their NHL parent clubs. On three occasions an AHL club and its NHL affiliate won their league championships in the same year: In 1976 and 1977, the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup while their AHL affiliate, the Nova Scotia Voyageurs, won the Calder Cup, and in 1995, the Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils saw their AHL affiliate, the Albany River Rats, win a title as well.
Only one team in 83 years has been able to win the Calder Cup in three consecutive seasons: the Springfield Indians, under the leadership of AHL and Hockey Hall of Famers Eddie Shore and Jack Butterfield, skated to Calder Cup championships in 1960, 1961 and 1962.
