WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefi ts rose by 7,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 343,000.
The increase in the week ending July 20 follows a drop of 22,000 the previous week. But the broader trend is consistent with an improving job market.
The four- week average, which smooths out weekly fluctuations, fell 1,250 to 345,250, according to the Labor Department.
" Claims continue to signal no let- up in employment growth,' Jim O'Sullivan,chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a research note.
Weekly applications data can be volatile in July. Automakers typically shut their factories the first two weeks of the month to prepare for new models, leading to temporary layoffs. But this year much of the industry has skipped or shortened the shutdowns to meet stronger demand.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They're down nearly 8 percent this year. Employers have added an average 202,000 new jobs a month this year, up from anaverage 183,000 in 2012.
In June, employers added 195,000 jobs. The unemployment rate stayed at 7.6 percent last month but is down from 8.2 percent a year earlier.
Job growth has been solid despite lackluster economic growth. Economists expect the economy grew at an annual rate of less than 1 percent in the April- June quarter, even worse than an unimpressive 1.8 percent the first three months of the year. Federal spending cuts that took effect in March have hobbled economic growth.
Many economists are hopeful that steady hiring will help spur faster growth in the second half of the year.
More than 4.8 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits the week that ended July 6, the latest data available. That is down nearly 20 percent from 6 million a year earlier.
Some parts of the economy have proven resilient.
The U.S. housing recovery is strengthening, for example. Sales of newly built homes rose 8.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 497,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That's the highest since May 2008 and up from an annual rate of 459,000 in May.
Sales are still below the 700,000 pace consistent with healthy markets. But they are up 38 percent in the past 12 months. That's the biggest annual gain since January 1992.
New- home sales make up only a small part of the market. But they have an outsize economic impact. Each home built creates an average of three new jobs and generates about $ 90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the National Association of Home Builders

NEW YORK (AP) — Kraft Foods is recalling 96,000 pounds of its Oscar Mayer wieners because they may mistakenly contain cheese.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Sunday that Kraft's "Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners" may instead contain the company's "Classic Cheese Dogs."
The agency said the product labels are incorrect and do not reflect the ingredients associated with the pasteurized cheese in the cheese dogs. Those products were made with milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label.
It said the problem was discovered by a consumer who notified Kraft on Friday. The company alerted the USDA the following day, according to the statement.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service said it has not received reports of adverse reactions. A representative for the agency wasn't immediately available for comment.
A representative for Kraft Foods Group Inc., Joyce Hodel, said in an email that the hot dogs were made in a plant in Columbia, Mo.
The products were made in early March and bear the number "Est. 537H" inside the USDA mark of inspection. People with questions about the recall are being asked to contact Kraft's consumer relations department at (855) 688-4386.
The recall applies to:
—16-ounce individual consumer packages of "Classic Wieners Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added," with a "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and product code "044700000632."
—Cases of 16-ounce packages that were distributed to retailers of "Classic Cheese Dogs Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added, and Pasteurized Cheese Product," with "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and case code "00447000005300."
Those cases may contain packages that are mislabeled as "Classic Wieners," according to Hodel.

There was something romantic about the 1960's movie and TV show Please Don't Eat the Daisies. In the film, Doris Day and her husband, played by David Niven, move into a suburban mansion/castle with their four children and their giant dog — and comedy breaks out.
In the film, Niven works for a newspaper. And that brings up a question: In today's world, where could a newspaper (or radio) reporter pick up a mansion/castle?
That's where a nearly 10,000-square-foot house and estate called Stone Hedge is now up for sale — for under $450,000. As the Detroit Free Press reported over the weekend, it's "the historic Boston-Edison residence of Walter O. Briggs ... [who] gained prominence supplying auto bodies to the fledgling car industry in the early 1900s though his company Briggs Manufacturing. ... He also owned the Detroit Tigers from 1920 until his death in 1952."
Designed in 1915, the mansion has "11 bedrooms, seven bathrooms and nine fireplaces on more than an acre" of land, the Freep adds. (Click here for a selection of photos if you want to see what Stone Hedge looks like inside and out.)
My colleague Steve Henn, who covers the tech business for NPR in Silicon Valley, points out that for the same amount of money, you would only get a 1,200-square-foot condo in Mountain View, Calif.
And for a comparable home elsewhere, you could pay $15 million.
To be clear, the average home price in 2011 in Detroit was $97,800 — below the Midwest average that hovers around $120,000. Houses like this don't go on sale that often.
Maybe if I got a bunch of roommates, I could make my Please Don't Eat the Daises dream a reality. Doris Day is still putting out albums. She could come stay at the estate in Detroit.
Ms. Day, if you read this: You could have a whole wing to yourself!

Atomizer, Clearomizer and tanks are just some different names for the same product often.
Fast Delivery
Help Quit Smoking
New user?: The prefect all-in-one vaping kit for starters - Click here to see the starter kits.
The Atomizer is the component that ensures the combustion of the liquid. In most cases, this is combined with the tank where you can refill your liquid. This is a consumable item that should be replaced regularly. The period lasts an Atomizer is difficult to predict. Thus, the quality of the atomizer and the manner of use severe impact on longevity. There are people who after 2 weeks have required a new Atomizer, but also people who after 6 weeks still fine to come. Keep in mind that Pulverizers which also produce more vapor consume more liquid!
There are already hundreds if not thousands of Clearomizers on the market. With us you will find only original products that have been tested and approved and which we are assured that you will be satisfied. In veleden were Clearomizers whose coil could not be interchanged, thus you had to always complete Clearomizer replaced while only the coil was worn. These products we have removed from our range, making all Clearomizers in our store use separate coils which can very cost effectively evaporated.
There are Clearomizers with different types of coils, so you have single-coil, in which use is made of a single verbander, Dual Coil utilizes two burners, and then there is still Sub Ohm. This last species not recommended if you are just starting vapors required for using Sub Ohm some knowledge and experience with fumes. In Sub Ohm you are using very low resistance so you get extremely high vapor development.
The Atomizer is the most important part of your E-cigarette. The models are often of average or poor quality. Avoid disappointment and buy the best from us! Most Clearomizers use rubber sealing rings, these rings are extremely hard to get! So be careful that you do not lose it rings when disassembling the clearomizer.

Because two A.J.s are never enough, here's one more.
Clayton Kershaw (1-0, 0.00) vs. A.J. Burnett (0-1, 4.76)
The ungodly Clayton Kershaw returns to the mound tonight, still leading the team in home runs. Thankfully, he has company now, as Ethier crushed one off Jonathan Sanchez (a lefty!) last night.
A.J. Burnett was an unexpected ace for the Pirates last year, but didn't fare so well in his first outing against the Cubs this season. Our A.J. and the rest of the now-Harangless Dodgers look to take him down again and take the series.
SoSG Dusty will be at the game tonight, wearing that outfit above. Find him, and he might just let you touch his ab.
Update: SoSG Orel will be there too, but he won't let you touch him. I learned that the hard way.

DETROIT (AP) -- For years, the joke in the auto industry was that a mass-produced car that runs on hydrogen was always a decade away.
That will change next year when Hyundai starts selling a Tucson SUV powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. It will be the first mass-market vehicle of its type to be sold or leased in the U.S.
"These things are now ready for prime time," John Krafcik, Hyundai's North American CEO, said last week. His company plans to announce details of the new Tucson on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Even as the industry focused on battery-powered and hybrid cars, automakers such as Hyundai, Honda and Toyota kept up research on fuel cells. Now they appear to have conquered obstacles such as high costs, safety concerns and a lack of filling stations. These vehicles could help the companies meet stricter future fuel-economy standards.
Automakers have been dabbling in hydrogen-powered cars since the 1960s. General Motors announced a test fleet of hydrogen-powered Chevy Equinoxes in the mid-2000s, and Honda leased about two-dozen FCX Clarity models for $600 per month starting in 2005.
President George W. Bush allocated $1.2 billion for hydrogen research and said in his 2003 State of the Union address: "The first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen and pollution free." But the program was largely scrapped by the Obama administration, which focused more on battery-powered vehicles.
Hyundai now is making Bush's forecast come true, beating other auto companies to the mass market with Tucsons that have electric motors powered by a stack of hydrogen fuel cells. Hyundai plans to start selling the vehicles in Southern California and eventually spread to other areas as filling stations are built.
Hyundai says it has overcome safety and storage issues with a rear-mounted tank that has passed numerous crash tests without incident. As for filling stations, the California Air Resources Board says there currently are nine open to the public in the state. Legislators recently allocated about $200 million per year for 100 more, to be built by 2023.
Also at the Los Angeles show, Honda Motor Co. is scheduled to show off a fuel-cell concept vehicle, which it says hints at the aerodynamic design of the next generation fuel-cell vehicle to be launched in 2015. Further details weren't available.
Toyota Motor Corp. is scheduled to unveil its own concept fuel-cell vehicle at this week's Tokyo Motor Show. That one also is likely for distribution in the mass market in 2015.
General Motors continues work on its fuel-cell vehicles.
The largest U.S. automaker, which has spent a lot of time and resources on battery-powered cars such as the Chevrolet Volt, has no fuel-cell vehicles currently in its new product pipeline, spokesman Dan Flores said Monday. He said more work needs to be done on cost and infrastructure to make the cars viable.
Hyundai is expected to introduce prices and details of how its cars will be sold or leased at the Los Angeles show. Automakers usually offer leases when they put new technology on the market.
Hydrogen cars likely will help automakers meet new goals from eight key states to put more zero-emissions cars on the road. The states, including California and New York, pledged late last month to work together to put 3.3 million battery-powered cars, plug-in hybrids and other clean-burning vehicles on the roads in those states by 2025. That's more than 15 times as many zero-emission vehicles projected to be in use in the entire U.S. by 2015.
The other states in the pact are Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. The eight states together represent about 23 percent of the U.S. auto market.

Genomic mutation identifier (COSV) to indicate the definitive position of the variant on the genome. This identifier is trackable and stable between different versions of the release. Also, this identifier remains the same between different assemblies (GRCh37 and GRCh38).
- Legacy Identifier
Legacy mutation identifier (COSM) represents existing COSM mutation identifiers. This identifier remains the same between different assemblies (GRCh37 and GRCh38). All the COSM ids at the same genomic location have been collapsed into one representative COSM id. These ids are maintained to help track existing mutations.

These are internal identifiers that are unique to a mutation on a particular transcript and are displayed in the URL of the mutation pages. Therefore, several of these internal ids could be associated with a single genomic COSV id where the mutation has been mapped to all overlapping genes and transcripts. Similarly, since every COSM id is mapped to one COSV id (where genomic coordinates are known), each COSM id can also be associated with several alternative (internal) identifiers. These ids are expected to change between assemblies (GRCh37 and GRCh38) and between the releases.

The spotlight of fame is burning ever brighter for the SEALs who took down Osama bin Laden. Last year we had Matt Bissonnette's No Easy Day about the mission. Now Esquire magazine has released a story, to appear in its March issue, featuring the SEAL who claims to have been first inside bin Laden's bedroom and fired the shots that killed him.
While the former SEAL, who reporter Phil Bronstein calls only "the Shooter" (he is not named in the piece), tells a unique tale, he also gripes that he has nothing to show for his 16 years of service.
The good:
"For me, it was a snapshot of a target ID, definitely him. Even in our kill houses where we train, there are targets with his face on them. This was repetition and muscle memory. That's him, boom, done.
"I thought in that first instant how skinny he was, how tall and how short his beard was, all at once. He was wearing one of those white hats, but he had, like, an almost shaved head. Like a crew cut. I remember all that registering. I was amazed how tall he was, taller than all of us, and it didn't seem like he would be, because all those guys were always smaller than you think.
"I'm just looking at him from right here [he moves his hand out from his face about 10 inches]. He's got a gun on a shelf right there, the short AK he's famous for. And he's moving forward … He's got a gun within reach. He's a threat. I need to get a head shot so he won't have a chance to clack himself off [blow himself up].
"In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! same place. That time I used my EOTech red-dot holo sight. He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath.
"And I remember as I watched him breathe out the last part of air, I thought: Is this the best thing I've ever done, or the worst thing I've ever done? This is real and that's him. Holy s—."
The bad:
… the Shooter will discover soon enough that when he leaves after 16 years in the Navy, his body filled with scar tissue, arthritis, tendonitis, eye damage and blown disks, here is what he gets from his employer and a grateful nation:
Nothing. No pension, no health care, and no protection for himself or his family.
The ugly:
The apparent fact that this is how one veteran feels he has to reach out to get the help he and his family need (although several vets believe the SEAL would be entitled to five years of medical care postservice from the Veterans Administration).
Full story here.

Teen wounded in Atlanta school shooting
ATLANTA - Authorities say a 14-year-old has been wounded in a shooting at an Atlanta middle school and a suspect has been taken into custody.
Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos says the wounded student has been taken "alert, conscious and breathing" to Grady Hospital.
He says the suspect has been tentatively identified as a student and all other students at the school are safe. Campos says the teen was shot outside of the school building.
Atlanta Fire Cpt. Marian McDaniel says the teen was shot in the head. McDaniel says a teacher suffered minor cuts and bruises, but was treated on the scene about 2 miles south of downtown.
TV news helicopters show a swarm of Atlanta police officers at the school.

Ed Graf was given life in prison 25 years ago for killing his two stepsons by locking them in a backyard shed and setting it on fire. Two investigators used photos of the shed's remains to persuade jurors that Graf had started the fire intentionally.
By today's standards of fire analysis, though, the investigators may have been mistaken.
Authorities in Texas and in other states are beginning to re-examine cases in which defendants were sent to prison for setting fires based on expert testimony about burn patterns and charring that today is considered suspect.
Nine years after Texas executed Cameron Todd Willingham for killing his three children in a fire – a conviction questioned by many legal advocates and fire experts – the state fire marshal and the nonprofit Innocence Project of Texas are working together to review the evidence in fire investigations and identify cases in which convictions might have been questionable.
Representatives will meet next month to start reviewing the first six cases, including Graf's, who was convicted in 1988 of setting the deadly fire in the central Texas town of Hewitt.
It's a rare collaboration between state officials and criminal justice advocates who are usually at odds.
"We both have the same goals, to make sure that justice is served." said Chris Connealy, the state fire marshal.
The National Fire Protection Association issued its first set of fire investigation guidelines in 1992. Before then, fire investigators did not always use uniform procedures, Connealy said. Also, advances in scientific analysis have found other explanations for burn patterns once considered to be signs of arson.
The Innocence Project, a national legal reform group that has worked to exonerate more than 250 convicts, has identified potentially problematic arson cases in several states, including one in Tucson, Arizona, in 1970 in which 29 people were killed.
In Texas, which has had to free more than 100 inmates wrongly convicted in criminal cases, the state Innocence Project has narrowed its working list to about 60 arson cases of the 1,000 reviewed, chief counsel Jeff Blackburn said. A state expert panel, the Texas Forensic Science Commission, has also made 17 recommendations for improving how arson cases are handled.
The widespread attention given the Willingham case has driven interest in looking at other arson-related convictions. The Forensic Science Commission investigated the case for years, but was barred by Attorney General Greg Abbott from issuing a final report. Arson experts hired by the commission found the 1991 fire was most likely accidental.
It's possible that problems will be found with more cases, Connealy said.
"Having been around fire investigations and being in the fire service the last 35 years, I saw where there could be improvements," Connealy said in an interview. "I wanted to try to lead that effort to improving fire investigations. It should be based on science."
If the group finds problems with an arson investigation, its findings will be sent to the authorities with jurisdiction over the case and to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Connealy said. No action will be required, but the report could help someone who is wrongly imprisoned.
Graf is now a white-haired, 60-year-old man, who in a recent prison interview continued to maintain his innocence. Recent developments have given him new hope. Three experts consulted by his attorney, and one hired by the prosecution after Graf filed an appeal last year, have questioned the conclusions the original investigators drew from the fire scene photos.
"I know that there will be people that will never change their mind, and of course, there will be people that will," Graf said. "It's difficult for me to believe they can't believe the science. The science, it's pretty accurate now."
State Deputy Fire Marshal Joseph Porter and New York fire investigator Charles King determined that charring was deepest near the shed entrance and on the doors. They pointed to "alligator" charring and other patterns to suggest a quick fire started by an accelerant like lighter fluid.
The experts consulted recently say those patterns could have been caused by a condition known as "flashover," when a fire escalates to a point where the whole room is in flames. At flashover, deep burn patterns can appear all over a scene, regardless of where a fire started, according to the Arson Research Project, which examined the Graf case.
High levels of carbon monoxide found in both boys' bodies could also suggest that an accelerant wasn't used, the experts said. With an accelerant, the flames would have spread so quickly that the boys would not have lived long enough to inhale those fumes.
Several neighbors and other witnesses testified at the time of the fire that the boys had been seen playing with matches.
"The assumptions of `evidence' upon which both men depended have no scientific basis," wrote the prosecution expert, Thomas B. Sing, in a January report summarizing his findings.
King died in 2003. Porter could not be reached for comment.
Prosecutors support a new trial for Graf on the basis of the new analysis, but insist he is guilty.
Graf's then-wife, Clare Bradburn, said she remains convinced he is guilty.
A final decision on a new trial is pending before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Connealy would not take a position on Graf's innocence but wants to address any problems with old cases.

This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene, good morning.
For the State of Wisconsin, 2011 was a year of political chaos. It all started with a surprise move by freshman Republican Governor Scott Walker to curb the bargaining rights of public employee unions. This sparked massive protests and a week's long occupation of the state capitol. Well, the battle enters a new phase tomorrow when a state board is expected to order a gubernatorial recall election. If Walker were to lose, he'd become only the third governor in U.S. history to lose his job in a recall.
Wisconsin's Public Radio's Shawn Johnson reports.
SHAWN JOHNSON, BYLINE: It started out as a chant.
JOHNSON: Less than a week after Governor Walker introduced his bill to curb public employee union bargaining rights, protesters were already plotting his recall. The right of Wisconsinites to recall state officials was added to Wisconsin's constitution in the 1920s. But it's never been used on a Wisconsin Governor.
JOHNSON: That appeared destined to change this winter when Democrats from every Wisconsin county turned in more than 900,000 signatures urging Walker's recall. That was far more than the 540,000 they needed.
Ever since, Governor Walker has campaigned, coast to coast, telling conservative audiences why his recall election should matter to them.
GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER REPUBLICAN, WISCONSIN: What's at stake in this election is fundamentally about courage.
JOHNSON: In a speech last month at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Walker called collective bargaining an expensive entitlement, and said ending it would save taxpayers' money for generations. Walker asked the crowd to support what he did by supporting his campaign.
WISCONSIN: Lord, help us if we fail. I believe fundamentally having looked at this more closely over time, if we fail - and I'm not planning on it. But if we were to fail, I think this sets aside any courageous act in American politics for at least a decade, if not a generation. That is why we must not fail.
JOHNSON: Normal campaign finance rules do not apply in Wisconsin recall elections. Instead of the $10,000 limit on political contributions that's normally in place, donors can give unlimited funds to an incumbent facing a recall. Governor Walker has received multiple six-figure donations, including a half-million dollars from Texas homebuilder Bob Perry.
Democrats still have to pick Walker's opponent in a primary that will likely be scheduled for May. And while a few candidates are interested, organized labor already has its choice.
KATHLEEN FALK: You know, I'm the granddaughter of a bus driver in Milwaukee. And I learned, early on, how important my grandfather's work in his union was to giving me a better life.
JOHNSON: Kathleen Falk is a former county executive for Dane County, home to Madison. She secured endorsements from most major unions soon after she entered the race. Union leaders say the reason is straightforward. Falk promised to restore their collective bargaining rights in the state budget. She also promised to veto any budget from the legislature that does not include collective bargaining. Republicans call it a quid pro quo.
But speaking at a fundraiser this week, Falk said she's being straight with voters on the issue driving this recall.
FALK: You know, I've been doing this for a long time. And not only do I know how you get things done, but I'm being open and honest and transparent - unlike Governor Walker, who's being recalled because he was not honest with voters.
JOHNSON: The early union nod is unusual because of who has yet to get into the race. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett ran and lost against Walker in 2010. Polls suggest he's best known among Democrats with the highest approval rating. Barrett was coy about his plans at a recent forum, but sounded like a candidate, saying Governor Walker had torn the state apart.
MAYOR TOM BARRETT: Make no question about this. There is a civil war going on in the state right now and he alone started the civil war. I want the war to end. And I think the people of this state want the war to end.
JOHNSON: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel was in Milwaukee raising money for Barrett yesterday. Barrett could announce his intentions any day.
There are other wild cards in this race, including an ongoing criminal investigation of former Walker aides. Governor Walker has hired defense attorneys but has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Barring the unexpected, the recall election itself will be held in early June. Once the election is ordered tomorrow, Walker loses the ability to raise unlimited cash. But observers say interest groups from both sides will pick up the slack, as the spotlight on this recall election grows brighter.

Napster fell. Kazaa fell. And now the RIAA is waging an all out war to try to ensure Limewire follows in its P2P ancestors' footsteps.
Even as the move industry turns its efforts to suing thousands of BitTorrent users, the music industry is waging its own hard-fought war against filesharers. After a long and unprofitable legal crusade, the RIAA has largely turned its efforts to lobbying the government to take up the mantle of tracking and prosecuting filesharers.
With the upcoming Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement the RIAA may have scored its biggest victory -- making it a felony crime to develop P2P engines that become used to distribute infringed content.
Not content to wait for the vote on that measure, music labels have taken the fight to one of the most-downloaded filesharing engines, Limewire. Since the descent of Napster and Kazaa into legal and financial purgatory, Limewire has emerged as perhaps the most recognizable P2P engine.
The RIAA -- the music industry attack dog -- sue Limewire for $150,000 per infringed song way back in 2006. However, LimeWire founder Mark Gorton had frustrated the labels for almost four years. In May the labels secured a major victory -- a summary judgment against Limewire for copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced copyright infringement.
Last month the RIAA accused Gorton of shifting his money to avoid paying damages from the case. They have appealed to the courts to try to have his assets frozen. They also filed a motion to have Limewire's services shut down.
Now a coalition of four major labels -- EMI, Sony/ATV, Universal and Warner/Chappell -- and four independent labels -- Bug, MPL, Peermusic and the Richmond Organization -- have filed a brand new suit against the popular program. Represented by the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA), the labels filed suit in Southern District Court in Manhattan on Wednesday.
In the suit, they also seek $150,000 USD per song distributed -- the maximum for willful infringement. Limewire constitutes 58 percent of the P2P traffic online, according to the NPD Group. Limewire software has been downloaded 200 million times, including over 340,000 downloads in the last week.
Limewire has a legal music store, which offers over 2 million DRM-free tracks for sale. However, the service is also thought to host well over a million infringed tracks. That puts a conservative estimate of the amount sought in the new suit at $150B USD.
Even with Limewire's dominant position in the P2P industry there's no way it could pay that much in damages, as its assets sit in the millions, not billions. It's hard to say what will happen in the case, but things thus far are clearly not going Limewire's way.
Ultimately one possibility would be a settlement, which would allow Limewire's music store to stay open and continue paying damages to the RIAA and NMPA (the two groups that have filed suit). It remains to be seen, though, whether users would stick with the service if it went legit or leave it, as has traditionally happened throughout filesharing history (with services such as Kazaa and Napster).

Silas Riener, a 2006 Princeton alumnus and a former member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, has returned to campus to work with students in the dance program at the Lewis Center for the Arts on two performance projects that celebrate the mid-20th-century collaboration of dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham and artist Robert Rauschenberg.
In this video, Riener explains how he selected a "collage" of pieces choreographed by Cunningham, comprising dance repertory from the 1960s to the 2000s, to teach the Princeton students. The compiled works, titled "MinEvents for Princeton," will be performed at two events: "Spheres of Influence" at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, in the Princeton University Art Museum, and the Program in Dance's Spring Dance Festival at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Feb. 22 to 24, in the Berlind Theatre, McCarter Theatre Center.
The opportunity to learn from a professional dancer at the apex of his career made an impression on the students. "In my dance experience, most dance teachers are retired performers," said Tess Bernhard, a junior majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology who is earning a certificate in dance. "Silas is so much in his prime, fresh out of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and can really demonstrate this work that he was performing just last year or the year before."
Freshman Colby Hyland observed how carefully Riener worked with the students, many of whom have had little experience with dance. "Silas definitely took a lot of time explaining each step," he said. "How he took Merce's original notes, how he transitioned from each movement and the timing — it's so intricate, and I think it's really amazing how he transformed that and set it all on us."
Cunningham had an enormous influence on American dance in the 20th century and was at the forefront of the avant-garde for more than 50 years. His frequent collaborations with other artists included not only Rauschenberg but also musicians John Cage and David Tudor; visual artists Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol; and designers and architects. Rauschenberg served as the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's resident designer from 1954 through 1964 and created "décor" (sets and costumes) for several of the company's early works.
"Spheres of Influence," the program at the museum, begins in the Marquand Mather Gallery with a student-led tour of a selection of paintings, drawings and prints from the 1960s and 1970s — including works by Rauschenberg created for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company — on loan from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. The exhibition is the first of several the museum will present through the new Rauschenberg Loan Bank Program.
Following the tour, students from the Program in Dance will perform "MinEvent for Princeton" in another of the museum's galleries. Jeff Snyder, co-director of PLOrk (Princeton Laptop Orchestra), and Cenk Ergün, a graduate student in music composition, both in the Department of Music, composed the music for the performance and will provide live accompaniment.
The performance will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Claudia La Rocco, a visiting faculty member and frequent contributor to The New York Times, with Nancy Dalva, Merce Cunningham Trust Scholar-in-Residence; John King, composer/performer and former co-director of the music committee for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company; Abigail Sebaly, Cunningham Research Fellow at the Walker Art Center; and Riener. A reception in the Sterling Morton Gallery will conclude the evening.
The Spring Dance Festival program will include a slightly different "MinEvent" of Cunningham choreography, as well as performances by more than 50 students of excerpts of works by internationally recognized choreographers Mark Morris, Zvi Gotheiner and Karole Amitage, and the premiere of two works by New York-based choreographers Raja Kelly and Laura Peterson created in collaborations with Princeton dance students.
Riener said the experience of coming back to campus and working with the students has been particularly meaningful. "I feel like I have something now to offer back to the University community at large. It feels really special," he said.

The AsiaBarometer, 2004 represents a cross-national effort to study the lives of the peoples of East and Southeast Asia on physical, psychological, and sociological dimensions. The project was designed to capture the extent to which respondents experience the affective and cognitive qualities of life, focusing on their assessments of their own lives as well as their relationships to family, neighborhood, workplace, social institutions, political institutions, and the marketplace. Attitudes toward development, democracy, and regionalization were examined, as were the types of goods and services desired and consumer habits. Respondents were queried on their overall personal satisfaction as well as their satisfaction with their friendships, family life, marriage, standard of living, housing, household income, health, education, neighbors, job, leisure time, public safety, the condition of the environment, the social welfare system, and the political system. Data were gathered on the respondents' personal priorities and those they had for their children, as well as their level of trust in others, their inclination to help others, and what characteristics and affiliations they used to identify themselves. Respondents were asked to rate the efficacy of their national governments in handling the economy, political corruption, human rights, unemployment, crime, public services, immigration, ethnic conflict, religious conflict, and environmental problems. Additional questions asked whether government officials were responsive to problems of the general population, what type of political systems respondents favored, and the extent to which the national government, the local government, the army, the legal system, the police, the national legislative branch (e.g., Parliament, Congress), the public education system, large domestic companies, multinational companies, trade/labor unions, the media, and other nongovernmental organizations (e.g., environmental, social advocacy groups, and nonprofit organizations) could be trusted to operate in the best interests of society. Participants were asked which macro-socioeconomic issues they were most concerned with and what matters they believed the government should spend more or less on. Respondents were polled on their level of personal involvement in political, governmental, and community affairs, the inclusiveness of the government, and their perspectives on the importance of political and electoral participation. Additional questions addressed respondent exposure to and opinions of foreign companies, peoples, governments, and cultures. Market analysis inquiries included what products respondents owned, planned to own in the near future, or desired to own, as well as what consumer services they had used or would like to use. Respondents were asked about their modes of transportation, their current types of residence, whether or not they planned to own their own residences, and the availability of public utilities. Respondents were surveyed on what foreign and domestic companies they were familiar with and which forms of media they used to obtain consumer and political information. Background information includes age, sex, occupation, employment status, household income, family structure, number of people in household, number of children, education, marital status, English proficiency, religious affiliation, and religious participation.

Alan Wake PC Release 'Up in the Air'
"Other than [the Xbox 360 version] the plans are up in the air and open," lead writer Sam Lake told Edge. When asked if the game was still coming to PC, he said that "once we're done with the 360 version we'll evaluate the situation and see what makes sense."
Originally announced for the PC and "next generation consoles" in 2005, Alan Wake was later confirmed for Xbox 360 and PC when Microsoft signed on to publish in 2006, with the company recently specifying a "spring 2010" release for the Xbox 360 edition.

Well, let's move from the pre-telecast to the artists you did see on TV, if you were watching; the winners and nominees who were on stage at the Staples Center for a marathon evening ceremony. NPR television critic Eric Deggans joins us to talk about the big show.
Good morning.
ERIC DEGGANS, BYLINE: Good morning.
MONTAGNE: First, let me ask you this. With most of the awards given out actually before the ceremony, the Grammys - unlike the Oscars - are not really an awards show. What would you call it?
DEGGANS: Well, the Grammys are really two or three different kinds of shows mashed together. They do give out some awards, as you said, they gave out 10. But they also have these high-powered musical acts and combinations that perform together; they become essentially a variety show. You know, there's a sense that young people won't necessarily watch an old school variety show, like Ed Sullivan, so it's gussied up in the guise of an award show like the Grammys that bring together all these high-powered acts.
MONTAGNE: And it is hugely popular. I mean people around the world watch it. And CBS re-upped its deal with Recording Academy; a deal reportedly worth more than $20 million a year to carry the show into the next decade, they think it's going to keep happening for the next 10 years?
DEGGANS: Certainly. And what's going on here is the value of live programming. In the age of the DVR, people are recording everything, they're watching it later - they're maybe not even watching it all - and they're skipping over the commercials. So a show that's live, that people want to know the answers to in a moment is very valuable, because then people have to watch all the commercials. And it's also a great promotional platform for CBS. Use all of these CBS stars flown in for no reason.
DEGGANS: So, you know, Pauley Perrette from "NCIS" the social media correspondent for the Grammys. Just another excuse essentially to mention the CBS show it during the proceedings.
MONTAGNE: OK, so but back - OK, let's get us back to the Grammys. What did you think of what has come to be called Grammy moments, the unlikely pairings like classical pianist Lang Lang performing with Metallica, for instance?
DEGGANS: Sure, well, one of my favorite moments last night involved Daft Punk performing with Pharell Williams, Stevie Wonder and Nile Rogers from Chic. Let's listen to a little bit of it.
DAFT PUNK, PHARRELL WILLIAMS, STEVIE WONDER AND NILE ROGERS: (Singing) Come on, Steve. The present have no ribbons, your gift just keeps on giving...
DEGGANS: Now, that was the pairing that worked. But there were some that didn't. I imagine some of the young people were scratching their heads when they saw Robin Thicke come out and perform with Chicago. They kind of sounded like the world's greatest wedding band.
MONTAGNE: Well, all right. Well, you know you are live blogging. You were among the people also live tweeting throughout the show. What was her favorite part of the show? Or I guess you're not going to admit to snarky comments, right?
DEGGANS: I will certainly admit to snarky comments. There were plenty of them on my Twitter feed. But what I really loved was when social message came together with a powerful music performance. And we saw this with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis singing their song "Same Love," at the same time that a wedding was performed on stage. And I think we have a little bit of that, too.
QUEEN LATIFAH: This song is a love song not for some of us, but for all of us. And tonight, we celebrate the commitment to love by some very beautiful couples. Joined by Mary Lambert and New Orleans own Trombone Shorty, here's Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and an uplifting song that says: Whatever God you believe in, we come from the same one; strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love.
MONTAGNE: And that, by the way, was Queen Latifah.
DEGGANS: Exactly, Queen Latifah. You got 33 couples getting married. You got Queen Latifah marrying them. Some of them were same-sex couples. And you got Madonna coming in and singing at the end of your ceremony. I mean, five years later, how do you top that? I mean that's an amazing thing to tell your kids.
MONTAGNE: Well, in the few seconds we have left let's talk about Pharell Williams who was pretty funny translating for the non-speaking musicians of Daft Punk. You had some fun tweeting about the hat Williams was wearing. Tell us about the hat.
DEGGANS: Well, Pharell came on with this hat that looked like something Smokey the Bear would wear or something.
DEGGANS: And it Immediately gained attention from the Twitterverse. Of course, 10 minutes into the - after he appeared on camera, someone created Pharell's hat - the Twitter account. And Neil Patrick Harris tweeted a joke about it. And then by the end of it, Arby's actually tweeted a little joke at Pharell, because the hat looked like the logo for the restaurant chain.
MONTAGNE: OK. Eric Deggans, NPR's TV critic, speaking about the Grammys. And you're listening to MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

MIAMI – Cleveland Browns and former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested Friday on charges of assaulting a law enforcement officer at an airport, the latest in a series of personal problems for the NFL player.
According to a Broward Sheriff's Office arrest report, Bess was approached by Deputy Thomas O'Brien inside the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport terminal because he was "acting irrationally, dancing, singing with his pants repeatedly falling down."
"I inquired if he was all right and received no response," O'Brien said in the report, adding later that Bess "appeared to be looking through me" while they talked.
Bess, 28, then picked up a cup of hot coffee from a counter and squeezed it, "which caused the cup to break with the liquid going all over my uniform," the deputy wrote. Bess then took up a "fighting stance," and O'Brien said he hit the player on the leg with a baton to no effect.
"Bess proceeded to take off his shirt and once again took up a fighting stance refusing my repeated orders to get on the ground," O'Brien said, adding that Bess was finally taken into custody when backup officers arrived.
Sheriff's office records show that Bess is charged with simple assault on an officer, resisting arrest without violence and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear whether Bess had a lawyer. Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert said the team was aware of the arrest and was gathering information.
The Browns signed Bess last year to a three-year, $11.5 million contract after acquiring him from the Dolphins. This season Bess had career lows with 42 catches for 362 yards.
The arrest comes one day after Bess posted a photo on his Twitter page of a small package containing what appears to be marijuana. The photo was later deleted. Last month, a photo posted on Bess' Instagram account showed him lighting a cigar or marijuana joint next to a photo of late reggae star Bob Marley, a Rastafarian flag around his shoulders.
On Dec. 19, the Browns placed Bess on the reserve/non-football illness list for what were described as personal reasons. He missed the final two games of the season.
Bess spent five seasons with the Dolphins. His best year was in 2010, when he caught 79 passes for 820 yards and five touchdowns. The Oakland, Calif. native starred at the University of Hawaii before joining the Dolphins in 2008 as an undrafted free agent.

Updated Jan. 15
When House Republicans decided to ban earmarks in 2010, they boasted the move would change the way Washington does business. It has, though perhaps not in the way they intended. The ban has changed the way pork is parceled out, while hampering Congress's ability to do its business at all.
The earmark moratorium and a restive House Republican caucus bent on slashing spending have rendered the 112th Congress virtually ungovernable for the past two years. The first flashpoint of the 113th Congress suggests the situation hasn't improved. Despite protests from Democrats and a cadre of Northeastern Republicans, House conservatives are threatening to torpedo a $50 billion aid package for victims of Hurricane Sandy because of objections that the legislation is packed with unnecessary spending.
The bill, which is scheduled for a vote on Tuesday, is a case study in how an unassailable cause can be overshadowed by the competing priorities and pet projects of 535 fractious lawmakers. In the two years since the House ban on earmarks was enacted, the cost of spending projects steered to specific districts has plummeted, but lawmakers have mastered tricks to preserve pork barrel spending, including the stealth art of tucking extraneous provisions into emergency legislation. The practice was exemplified by the fiscal cliff deal shoehorned through Congress on New Year's Day, which preserved a bundle of expiring corporate tax credits and subsidies for Nascar racetracks, rum distillers, algae growers and Hollywood producers.
The $60 billion Sandy aid package that passed the Senate on Dec. 29 faced similar criticism. The bill contained billions unrelated to the damage wrought by the hurricane, according to an analysis by the independent watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, including provisions like $150 million for fisheries as far away as Alaska or $821 million for harbor dredging that could benefit Mississippi River towns like St. Louis. Late on New Year's Eve, with tempers aflame from the brawl over the fiscal cliff, House Speaker John Boehner declined to bring up the Senate bill for a vote. The House skipped town, and the bill died along with the previous Congress. Boehner's decision drew a thunderous denunciation from Northeastern governors like New Jersey Republican Chris Christie, who called a press conference to single out Boehner and labeled the House's inaction "disgusting."
Christie picked the wrong culprit. Boehner's distaste for pork dates back to before the belief became fashionable – in 12 terms, he has never sought an earmark – but when it came to the Sandy bill, he was hemmed in by his rank-and-file. Sixty-seven House Republicans opposed a bill, passed in early January, that awarded a first tranche of some $10 billion in Sandy aid. Now they may be poised to derail efforts to parcel out the next $50 billion.
On Tuesday the House is set to vote on legislation authored by Republicans, and designed primarily to aid Northeastern communities still reeling from the ravages of Sandy nearly three months after the storm socked the East Coast. The first package, from Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers of Kentucky, would allocate $17 billion in funding. The second, from New Jersey Republican Rodney Frelinghuysen, would tack on another $33 billion, bringing the total aid package to $60 billion, the amount sought by the White House and passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Rogers and Frelinghuysen say the package has been stripped of the Senate's pork. But not all the money is emergency relief that exclusively targets the states stricken by Sandy. The legislation would direct $2 billion to federal highway improvements, $25 million toward improving weather-forecasting systems and $118 million for Amtrak upgrades. House conservatives have bristled at the inclusion of non-emergency items, including a $12 billion chunk of the Frelinghuysen amendment that would go to long-term development projects. Forty-seven states and Puerto Rico would be eligible for those grants. "I'm respectful that other states have disasters. Some are still recovering from major hurricanes and storms," Frelinghuysen tells Time. "But Chairman Rogers insisted that since I needed to piggyback on his bill, I fully supported his cleansing and vetting of the Senate bill."
Even so, the mere whiff of pork has caused House conservatives to recoil. They argue a debt-racked nation can't afford to fund long-term recovery efforts or parochial projects under the auspices of an immediate regional emergency. Members submitted a mind-boggling 92 amendments designed to curb the package's cost or, in a few cases, add a so-called poison pill that could sink it altogether. Some of the amendments bear even less relation to the hurricane than the offending sections of the aid package they oppose. One amendment restricts farm subsidies. Another eliminates all foreign aid, except for that given to Israel and Pakistan. Still another exempts the bill from the Davis-Bacon Act. Then there is a contingent of congressmen who believe Sandy relief is a worthy cause, but want to counter the cost of the package by applying dollar-for-dollar spending cuts – just as the GOP insists on doing with the debt limit. One Republican amendment would pare back all discretionary spending in the federal budget by 1.6% to offset the $17 billion Rogers amendment.
The avalanche of amendments left passage of part of the package in question Monday night. "The Frelinghuysen amendment is going to draw the most scrutiny," predicts Tom Schatz, president of the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste. At a Rules Committee hearing on the Republican amendments, Democrats and a number of Northeastern Republicans warned that a procedural morass could bury the bill. "We throw ourselves on your mercy," said Democratic Congressman Louise Slaughter from New York. "Give us some help." Nita Lowey, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, warned that the endless stream of Republican tweaks could result in "filibuster by amendment." Republicans said they empathized, but insisted that the legislation would be inspected to ensure the money was spent wisely. The need for oversight collided with the need for speed. And while speed won out — late Monday night, the Rules Committee, which is controlled by Boehner, blocked the vast majority of the amendments aimed at curbing the size of the package — that could diminish the legislation's chances of winning conservative votes.
Northeastern Republicans suggested they would be able to gather the 20 or so GOP votes needed to nudge the bill over the line. But for wavering conservatives, the stakes spiked when two powerful conservative outside groups, the Club for Growth and Heritage Action for America, came out against the aid package. "I think even many people who are very conservative are shocked at how long it has taken for the federal government to respond," Freylinghuysen says. "We have not done well by the Northeast. I think there's some degree of sympathy even though there's disagreement over the dollar amount."
On Monday, many Republicans stressed those sympathies — but gave no indication they planned to vote for the bill. "We want to help," said Georgia Republican Rob Woodall, who in the next breath mentioned he had heard disconcerting reports that the legislation benefited the people of Guam and the Mariana Islands. And while earmarks may be gone, for some the impulse to bring home the bacon for one's district still reigns. At the Rules Committee hearing, members openly lobbied for money to restore damaged beaches in Florida and soil erosion in Colorado, legitimate issues that are nonetheless separate from the storm that walloped the Tri-State area in October. "They do it because they can," says Schatz of Citizens Against Government Waste. "The problem with these bills is that members add additional spending requests because they know the bill is going to be approved." Sandy victims are hoping he's right.
