Lights on for Edinburgh International Festival
Edinburgh International Festival gets under way today, with hundreds of runners in luminous suits bringing the landmark Arthur's Seat to life at night during the three-week programme.
Artists from around the world will be in Scotland's capital for performances including two adaptations of Shakespeare plays and a new production of Gulliver's Travels.
It will open tonight with NVA's Speed Of Light art installation, which takes place as part of the London 2012 Festival.
The event will see Edinburgh's extinct volcano in Holyrood Park light up in a mass choreographed act of walking and endurance running.
Runners wearing specially designed light suits will make their way to the summit of Arthur's Seat through the network of paths below, with members of the audience becoming part of the work by carrying portable lights emitting individual sounds triggered by movement and altitude.
The sell-out opening concert at the Usher Hall will honour the 150th anniversary of Frederick Delius, one of the core inspirations of this year's programme.
Throughout the festival, which runs from August 9 to September 2 at various venues across the city, almost 3,000 artists from 47 nations will put on performances of dance, opera, music and theatre.
It includes a performance from violinist Nicola Benedetti, who is to play at the festival for the first time, as she joins the London Symphony Orchestra.
On Saturday, the festival's new theatre venue, the Lowland Hall at the Royal Highland Centre at Ingliston, opens with a Polish adaptation of Macbeth set in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Dmitry Krymov brings a new production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (As You Like It).
Gulliver's Travels, directed by Silviu Purcarete, is to be produced in collaboration with Irish musician and composer Shaun Davey.
The newly refurbished King's Theatre is the venue for Japanese theatre director Tadashi Suzuki's first visit to the UK in almost 30 years with his production Waiting For Orestes: Electra.
It also includes morning music sessions at the Queen's Hall, described as "the perfect start to the day", as well as four performances of Prokofiev's Cinderella by the Mariinsky Ballet and orchestra.
Festival director Jonathan Mills said: "Artists are arriving from around the world, the venues are ready, the doves have taken off across town and we're ready to start showing people just how wonderful the shows we have lined up for audiences this year are.
"If you haven't already booked, there are some tickets still available and I urge you to join us."
In the days following the Olympics, the first International Culture Summit will be hosted at the Scottish Parliament, in partnership with the Scottish Government, UK Government and British Council.
It will provide a platform for culture ministers from around the world to hold discussions on the role of culture in international dialogue, organisers said.
On the final night, more than 100,000 fireworks will be set off, choreographed to music, in the annual display.
The festival follows the official launch of Edinburgh Festival Fringe which got under way last Friday.

Posted by Danielle Berrin
In a quick ten minute announcement, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak and actress Anne Hathaway announced the 2010 Oscar nominations.
Here's a roundup of some of the nods that matter to the Jews: (Criteria for films mattering to Jews means they either were created or performed by Jewish people or had some kind of Jewish theme or content)
UP IN THE AIR: Best Picture (Daniel Dubiecki, Jason Reitman, Ivan Reitman), Directing (Jason Reitman), Adapted Screenplay (Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner), Lead Actor (George Clooney), Supporting Actress X 2 (Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick)
***Reitman's screenwriting nod is controversial due to major dispute between Reitman and co-writer Sheldon Turner about who'd get credit. Reitman took sole credit all along until the two writers had to go to arbitration before the WGA—and Turner won. See 'A screenwriting dispute over Reitman's 'Up in the Air'
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS: Best Picture (Lawrence Bender), Original Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino), Directing (Quentin Tarantino, Supporting Actor (Christophe Waltz)
***Tarantino should get an honorary Jew menschen for his historical revision of WWII in which a bunch of strong-armed Jewish bandits take Hitler and Himmler down in a fiery blaze. See "Revenge of the Jews, Tarantino Style"
A SERIOUS MAN: Best Picture (Joel and Ethan Coen), Original Screenplay (Joel and Ethan Coen)
***Some accused the Coen bros' most Jewish film of being soberingly stereotypical. Based on their Midwestern Jewish upbringing, the film raises timeless questions about faith and certainly didn't portray rabbis with any kind of reverence.
AN EDUCATION: Best Picture (Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey), Lead Actress (Carey Mulligan), Adapted Screenplay (Nick Hornby)
***This film has generated a fair amount of anti-Semitic discussion for featuring a skeezy, unscrupulous Jewish character in the lead. But is it realism or anti-Semitism?
THE HURT LOCKER: Best Picture, Directing (Kathryn Bigelow), Original Screenplay (Mark Boal)
***Screenwriter Mark Boal is Jewish so look out for an upcoming profile in our Feb. 26 Oscar issue
AJAMI: Foreign Language Film (Israel)
Israel's Ajami is co-written and directed by a Jew and an Arab and features dialogue mainly in Arabic. The New York Times said of the film, "In a conflict where each side lives and breathes its own victimhood, feeling the hurt of the other is a challenge. 'Ajami' meets it."
ALSO NOMINATED in the Supporting Actress category is Maggie Gyllenhaal for CRAZY HEART
Stay tuned to Hollywood Jew for continuing Oscar coverage through the March 7 ceremony…

These Metaphor Sea poems are examples of Metaphor poems about Sea. These are the best examples of Metaphor Sea poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I see outer space As the place To retrace the roots Of the human race. I see under the sea Is where our bodily Cells first came to be. Man's heart is in the stars, Holding onto the dream to reach Mars. Man's history, Written in the stars as destiny. I am but a child, Born onto this planet turned wild. I am but a soul Sent here to alleviate the toll. I see a sea of stars, A healing ocean for our scars. I see an empty crater As void as our love for our Creator. Man's fate has Always been to create. Man's destiny is to face The sailing of the vastness of sea and space.
Heart of the sea,deeper than a chasm-insatiable monster like the graveyard. Habouring the wrecks of sunken ships and treasures,the abode of the titanic. Silent but troublesome. Nereus safe haven and the Nereids on errand riding dolphins-saving or destroying at your will strange presence. Waves spread to all parts within minutes of your ignition. Heart of the sea,so vast that a journey on you can't be accomplished without your guide. A shimmering rare pearl looming underneath. Underneath u coldness is cast into oblivion-a warmth to the inhabitants. Heart of the sea is like heart of a woman-always pregnant after delivery. Who can fathom your depths? Name:Ifeanyi Bob Ekechukwum (Baron Of Ebullion)
My Wishes are Simple My wishes are simple, my desires few, to gaze upon an ocean, and marvel at a solitary drop of dew. My wishes are simple, my dreams not too grand, to feel the waves teasing my tired feet, with no footprints left in the cool, wet sand. My wishes are simple, my thoughts serenely gentle, calm, my heart resting beneath a swaying palm, healing my being, caressed by nature's soothing balm.
Winds blowing thru the land. Creatures of the night lurking. Beware as the spirits take flight. Over there in the ruined church yard. There lies the cracked bell, some say, It can be heard on the nightly breeze. Suddenly, I hear the screeching night owls. She's going to take you thru the tunnel of night. I could barely hear a voice whispering my way. Just out of the shadows, I see her gazing at me. She comes from heaven, earth, lives in the underworld. As the sea ebbed and flowed in honor of it's dark lord. And you slip naked between my sheets of silk . Beware that you do not step and lose your way. For the night is long, and the sea is deep indeed. As I drive your sons and daughters into ecstasy . I love how you forbid your sons and daughters. To commit the sins that you, yourself committed. I travel thru mirrors along with the owls of night. I wed thru adultery , and conceive thru murder. Beware that you do not lose your way this day. Or your pleasure with life will not last long. Though you can be sure I will be there, to welcome, Those who come to me, into the night , eternal !!! 3/ 13/ 2013 2AM Lilith is Adams first wife
A thorough yield On a farm field of far east It took me time to realize How far I am to my far east of coast Call of my weather Call of my winds I sailed further and farther To my naked coasts Naive songs, Nimble rains Nile of rivers, Nascent clouds Reaching this far I kissed my earth Ground of my grief Glory of my ghosts Glad is those leaves However scanty they are Cast is my shadows No longer they hide My colors and my figures They cast numbers on stars Measure their light Scope my winters Scale my summers Scanty my rains Scuttle I wish my springs Now let me see my greens Their leveling heights Their leafy gaze Their spiderly gesture Their primordial texture Now let me be slow In company of my greens #Poem by +Gokul Alex
We sit at the waters edge comforting a sweet embrace. It stills our hearts and breaths to see the dolphins play. Synchronized arches of dance in the air and back down. Nose first into the sea and back up again breaking surf. Flair of beauty, impressive moves, pirouetting from the sea. They're awe-inspiring masters of their water ballet display.
Seagulls seagulls by the seashore open your eyes and you shall see more of the world's magik in front of your face why oh why would I ever replace the memory of that foamy sea crashing onto the shore while the seagulls are laughing with the children once more who feed them with eyes full of wonder to their curious delight seashells from dead oysters shine of the moon's pale sea light as they mate like the birds and the bees my sea kisses the sky when it rolls with the breeze.
Son of the Sea Trilogy Part 2 (copyright 1989) by:Allen Hacket The Rising Son Dedicated to: The Slauson Village On a hot summers night lovers lay along the beachfront Caressing each other so gently as the amber coals in the sandpits slowly melt away The waves rise and tumult with such majestic force and beauty splashing against the shoreline relentlessly Infinite as time itself and ever constant. The pulsation of the conga drum permeates every pebble and grain of sand on the beach The tinkle and the rat-a-tat-tat of empty bottles and discarded tin cans are transformed into precise percussion instruments The melodic shrills of the magic flute weave it's translucent web encompassing the gritty growls and riffs that emanate from the golden mouth of the improvisational sounding sax The dance has begun...slender black bodies glisten in the soft moonlight...jerking and gyrating in perfect rhythm to the beat of the drum The sweet aroma of herbs fills the night air and wine flows freely Emotions are high and love abounds The music reaches a crescendo and comes to a gradual halt A long awaited sigh of relief can be heard then solitude follows... Dawn ushers in the distant light Destined to radiate its warmth and shine in the new day of the rising son.

You belong to me mate ( Intro ) And that be that! Get on board And grab your hat! The ship was aghast at its new passenger ( Verse ) Like disdain for the lives that they now left behind, Newcomers were scarce And they never would last But I held up my chin nice and high. The bloke who took me screamed ( Pre-chorus ) "Mop up the deck we've got things to do!" But I said sir, I'm just a boy and don't know what's to do. And he said ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Taking what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet." Taking the seas for more than eight moons We found islands and loot That was bigger than most. The taste of sea air With its wind in my hair Took me away to this new life I lead. After mopping the deck He grabbed my hand and screamed "Steer this ship boy!" But I said sir, I'm just a lad and don't know where to go. So the crew yelled ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shore Taking what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet." Surprising to me Was my unshaven face The captain looked on And smiled with grace, We stopped at a place Where the women were loose and didn't mind If we took a peak. He said "Now you're a man so let's get on that boat, We got places to be and some people to rope, So grab that sword and drop that mop Cause you're no longer a boy in my eyes." I practiced the duel with the men in the crew The captain took eye to my devilish pride, And he took me aside and said "Even in death I'm gonna miss you boy But don't let it strike you Or kill your spirits Cause even time can beat out the Grim." Then in the darkness came fire and screams, Our vessel had stopped after fourteen years, The crew fought hard and beat most of the men But now, my Captain was dead. We took the new ship watching ours sink deep Saying goodbye to our drowning escape, The crew turned towards me and asked "What do we do?" and I smiled, And they did to. And we yelled ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Takin what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet."
Those two submarines are playing cards on their lunch break, Suddenly a boiled egg passes and say: -Hi five what you guys doing? -We are playing cards -Can I play?! -This is only for members. -That's OK -I was going to the barbershop anyway, - Ask Hydra for a Beer egg - I have been going to AA man are you crazy!, The egg vomits The submarines laugh Hydra juggles Dedicated to Professor Adriano Moreira

Teaching: Unfolds Numerous Career Options for African-American College Graduates
Brown, Gilbert, Diversity Employers
Changing demographic patterns contribute to African-American college graduates being strategically positioned to rapidly enter the K-12 teaching profession in the next millennium. Veteran teachers (25-30 years of instructional experience) will be retiring from the teaching profession in greater numbers in the next millennium. Disproportionately, African-American teachers will be leaving the teaching profession. What factors are driving this trend? Many of the African-American teachers entered the profession during an era when African-American graduates had fewer career options than their counterparts today. Graduates discovered career options as K-12 teachers in de facto (in reality) and de jure (by law) school systems. Also some graduates thought of teaching as a natural career to position them for collaborating with young people and using education as a social escalator to improve their life stations. Consequently, the combined impact of the two factors contributes to school districts facing major challenges trying to recruit and retain outstanding African-American educators.
Next, the changing K-12 student demographics from predominately white to more students of color (Hispanics, Asians, and African Africans) contrast sharply with the increasing white female composition of the teaching profession. A homogenous teaching cadre can result in one voice shaping the curriculum and developing pedagogy (teaching styles) for an emerging, racially-diverse K-12 student population. Expanding the pool of African-American (females and males) teachers will include more voices into shaping the curriculum and incorporating holistic pedagogical styles for a racially-diverse student population.
For those of you graduating with degrees in education and those without education degrees interested in teaching, the future is promising. Because of current teachers' retirements, an increasing student population and a demand for teachers in specialized areas, some foresee a national shortage of teachers in the next few years. Teachers of color will be in particular demand because of the changing racial and ethnic demographics of the country. "By employing highly successful and capable people of color, schools destroy prejudicial attitudes on the part of white students and parents and establish a standard to which African-American students can aspire," said Dr. H. Douglas Williams, superintendent of Schools of Perry Township in central Indiana. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the United States will need 20% more K-elementary schoolteachers and 5% more secondary education schoolteachers by the year 2005. This increase comes at a time when more African-American students and fewer white students are entering elementary school. What does this increase mean for you now? It means you should schedule an appointment with your advisor and make sure you are on track for graduation with the type of license or certificate you expect to receive, or it means you should consider a career in the teaching profession. "We need more teachers of color because of their passion for students of color. Because educators of color often possess a special passion for African-American students, they provide a desperately needed support base in schools for those students. In addition, when their perspective is shared with white educators, it enables those white educators to become more effective in working with African-American students," Dr. Williams said. This article will help you prepare for life after graduation, and it will also make you think about why more people of color must consider careers in teaching.
Why is it important for you to clarify the type of license or certificate you will have when you graduate? The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has recently distinguished licensure and certification. "Educators argue that states license (e.g. architects, nurses, etc.) and that specialized boards in the respective fields certify. NBPTS has accepted that distinction and is 'certifying' experienced teachers who meet high and rigorous standards," according to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification manual. This area is one of particular concern as certain subjects require a specialized degree. For example, an Iowa State University study shows an increasing number of math and science teachers leaving the profession for private-sectors jobs. If you are interested in teaching math or science at the high school level, you may be unable to do so with a degree from a School of Education; because some programs require a degree from a School of Science (for example) and a teaching certificate from the School of Education. Not only are math and science subject areas of growth, but so is bilingual education. Because of the changing demographics of the United States, more people are speaking English as a second language - specifically in California, Florida, Southwestern states and the Pacific Northwest. If you wish to increase your marketability after graduation, get a Foreign Language minor in your program. Another subject area of growth is computer science. Computer endorsements or a minor in computer science may be the keys to landing that first job. One last area to mention that is showing growth is special education. National legislation calling for inclusion has resulted in more opportunities for teachers with special education certificates or licenses.
Another way to increase your marketability after graduation is to participate in international and cultural programs aimed at expanding your sensitivity to and knowledge of the issues surrounding the children you will be teaching. "Our schools reflect worldwide diversity as we approach the year 2000 and beyond. Students who understand social, cultural, and institutional diversity are best prepared to serve the needs of diverse and new immigrant children," said Kate Conway-Turner, interim associate dean of Undergraduate Studies and professor at the University of Delaware. "The University of Delaware International Programs have developed specific programs that fit the needs of teacher education candidates. These programs (like the upcoming Costa Rica and South Africa programs) allow students an in-depth experience in a diverse culture and opportunities to work within their schools. These programs provide both course work and internship opportunities for students. Across the country, many other programs that provide similar international programs exist. Teacher education candidates armed with these experiences are better prepared to handle the international diversity that is found within many of our schools," she said.
Just how much do schoolteachers make right out of college? The American Federation of Teachers does an annual survey to help school districts develop salary comparisons and formulate policy. In 1996-1997, the AFT found the average starting salary for beginning teachers was $25,012 with South Dakota being the lowest paying state and Alaska being the highest. In 1997-1998, the average starting salary for beginning teachers was just above $26,000. It is important to note that teacher salaries have been growing over the rate of inflation for the last 20 years. This growth has taken place when other salaries have just kept up or fallen below inflation rates. The following is a list of some top cities based on factors like job opportunities and crime rate that may be of interest to you and their average starting salary (1996-1997 statistics):
Chicago, IL $29,604 Detroit, MI $30,537 Milwaukee, WI $24,684 Seattle, WA $22,347 Washington, D. C. $25,937 Kansas City, MO $23,539 Charlotte, NC $23,599 Atlanta, GA $29,544 Minneapolis, MN $25,410 Cleveland, OH $26,765 Baltimore, MD $24,684 Memphis, TN $27,997 San Francisco, CA $28,297 Philadelphia, PA $28,135
You can find other information regarding salary at AFT's website: http://www.aft.org//index.htm
As you get closer to graduation, you will need to ask yourself where you would like to work and whether you are willing to relocate. Not only is the location of your school tied to the salary you will receive, but so is the type of institution. The United States Department of Education has been tracking school enrollments by type and geographical location and predicts constant growth in the number of children attending school at least until the year 2007. Over the next 10 years, public school enrollment will increase approximately 4.1% while private school enrollment will increase approximately 3.4%. There are certain geographical areas of the country that will see enrollment increases as well. States like California and Georgia with growing cities and suburbs will most likely see the greatest increase, while Maine, Nebraska and Oklahoma may see a decrease in enrollment. Hawaii will see a shortage of teachers. In general, the West and the South will see the biggest demand for schoolteachers over the next few years. For different reasons, inner-city schools and schools in rural areas will also need teachers. Usually, schools in these areas have a difficult time attracting qualified teachers because of the fact they are unable to pay people as well as their suburban counterparts and because of the perceived working conditions. Essence published an article in the June 1, 1998 edition that may interest you. The article cited the top 10 cities for Black families rated on the factors of job opportunities and availability of cultural institutions. Some of the cities include Charlotte, N.C., Detroit, MI, Cleveland, OH and Baltimore, MD.
Professional Development Schools (schools with partnerships between a university and an elementary or secondary school) are an option if after you have graduated from college you yet want more classroom experience before you look for your first job. These schools offer a one to two-year program that allows you to practice what you've learned in college under professional guidance. Indiana University Purdue University, Indianapolis offers a program called Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn. When students enter this program, they enter with 19-29 other students and move through the curriculum together as a group. This group movement means students have a built-in support system and never compete with each other for spaces in classes. Another route to look into if you would like to teach but did not graduate from a School of Education is the alternate teacher certification program. This program allows you to receive certification through on-the-job training and in-services under the supervision of a mentor teacher. For more information about this program and its requirements, contact the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, Executive Director, Dr. Donald Hair, 3600 Whitman Avenue North, Suite 105, Seattle, WA 98103, (206) 547-0437.
Have you ever thought about why it is important for people of color to become teachers? With increasing Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American populations in the United States, young minority children must have role models in the schools who make them valued. "We also need to target Hispanic and Asian students as prospective teachers...to bring more diversity into the field of teaching. Teaching needs to become more attractive to people of color. If African Americans do not feel valued in education, they won't pursue the profession. If a greater percentage of Hispanics teach, and if more Asian populations teach, African Americans will also look more favorably on teaching and follow their lead," said Professor Howard Hill, chair of the Department of Educational Leadership at South Carolina State University. The percentage of Hispanic children in public elementary and secondary schools has increased from 9.9% in 1986 to 13.5% in 1995; the percentage of Asian children has increased from 2.8% to 3.7%; the percentage of African-American children has increased from 16.1% to 16.8%; the percentage of white children has decreased from 70.4% to 64.8%. All of this has occurred while the percentage of white teachers has increased from 89.6% to 90.7%, and the percentage of Black or "Other" teachers has decreased from 8.0% to 7.3% and 5.2% to 2.0% respectively. "Now might be the time for Historically Black Colleges and Universities to revitalize teacher education on their campuses. HBCUs need to take the lead and establish significant pipelines for the preparation of teachers. College administrators should make education a target and possibly emphasize this profession over some of the more attractive professions such as engineering, pre-law, computer science and mathematics," Hill said. He continues, "There are a lot of African Americans interested in teaching who do not have teaching degrees. To increase the number of minority teachers, we need to encourage those who do not have a teaching license or certificate to go back and get their master of arts in teaching degree so they can teach. And for freshman students, we need to invite them to seminars on education so they can better understand and embrace the importance of teaching as a profession. We must carry out this timely commitment."

I caught up with Matt Carroll, author of the cycling guide Escape Routes, to discover his top picks for exploring the countryside on two wheels.
So Matt, what kind of cyclist is the book aimed at?
Escape Routes is aimed at cyclists of all abilities, but mostly at people who wouldn't necessarily call themselves 'cyclists' – who simply love getting out on their bikes and exploring the countryside. Anyone can enjoy these rides; if some of the hills are a bit much, then there's no shame in getting off and pushing up! Accommodation was key to each of the routes – they all begin and end at a smart B&B or independent hotel – and they all feature fabulous country pubs, stunning scenery, historic houses, farmers' markets and more. You can pick each one to match your mood.
There must be hundreds of stunning country cycle rides to choose from, how did you select your top 60?
They all needed that magic combination of great accommodation, gorgeous pubs, beaches or rivers – and they all needed to be within an easy ride of each other. I was pretty fussy when it came to the accommodation – and it wasn't necessarily about being expensive. Most of the places I feature are really affordable.
Practical question, how easy is it to take your bike on the train?
It's getting easier. Most rail companies make provisions for carrying bikes, but it's best to check with the specific rail company before you go. Websites like www.nationalrail.co.uk have useful info, along with sustainable travel magazine A to B ( www.atob.org.uk ). If you don't own a bike, though, pretty much all the rides in Escape Routes have info on where you can rent them locally.
Any hairy moments e.g chased by a cow, close encounter with a tractor, that kind of thing… ?
I did actually have a bit of a scare with some cows in Northumberland. I was researching the ride around Simonburn (No.56 in the book), and ended up in a field surrounded by stroppy heiffers. Needless to say, I amended the route to avoid said field…
Then there was the time when my crank (the bit of metal that your pedals screw into) fell off halfway round a ride in Lancashire. It was pissing down at the time and I had no tools with me. Won't be making that mistake again…
However, the biggest nightmare was having both my bikes stolen halfway through writing the book. Someone kicked my front door in and helped themselves – while I was at home. That's Stockwell for you!
If you HAD to pick a favourite ride, which one would it be?
That's such a tough question, because I love them all! For each ride that made it into the book there was another route that I left out – so they're all corkers. If I had to choose, it would probably be the Freshford to Avoncliff ride (No.9 in the book). Firstly it's in the west country (and I grew up in that part of the world so I'm a bit biased!), but mainly because of the feeling of escape you get when you drop downhill into Avoncliff and arrive at the Kennet and Avon canal; there's a gorgeous pub there (the Cross Guns) and you find yourself surrounded by lush green hills. For me, this ride sums up what Escape Routes is all about.
'Escape Routes' is now available in the FAF online bookshop.

Fantasy Football Insider – Week 10
By KFFL Staff on November 11, 2011
Is your fantasy football team ready for Week 10? The following fantasy football tidbits are key items we are hearing from behind the scenes entering this weekend.
Can you beat KFFL's Cory Bonini? We know you want to! Our friends at FanDuel.com have set up a fun salary cap fantasy football challenge for Week 10 where you take on Cory. It is free to play and all you have to do is finish higher than Cory to land $5 in your bankroll. There is $500 worth of prizes being dished out to the top teams. Do you have what it takes? Try to beat Cory now!
Greg Little's athleticism and place atop the Cleveland Browns' receiving pecking order should sustain optimism for his fantasy contributions, even with his recent route-running woes and disconnects with Colt McCoy. This week against the St. Louis Rams isn't a bad time for him to go off. - Tim Heaney
Expect a little bit more work - not much more - from Joshua Cribbs this coming week given the Cleveland Browns' backfield issues. He might line up in the backfield and see more third-down plays, among other forms of contribution. Pat Shurmur isn't a fan of the wildcat, though, so don't get your hopes up there. - Tim Heaney
The Cincinnati Bengals have Andy Dalton throw on the move a lot, and they might even have him throw on the run while staring down the Pittsburgh Steelers' pass rush this week. James Harrison (toe) is hobbled and LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) is out, so challenging Pitt might not be the nightmare many think it would be. - Tim Heaney
The Cincinnati Bengals' A.J. Green has clicked with fellow rookie, quarterback Andy Dalton, for numerous big plays this season. But he'll have a hard time getting much done on veteran shutdown corner Ike Taylor. - Tim Heaney
Steel Curtain? More like Steel Sieve. The Pittsburgh Steelers are on pace to record the fewest takeaways in the NFL this season, and possibly league history. Exhibit A of why you shouldn't reach for a fantasy defense. - Tim Heaney
The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line has been more attuned to pass blocking than run blocking in 2011. Not surprising, considering how Pitt has become a pass-first O under Ben Roethlisberger and Bruce Arians. Expect more involvement from Hines Ward and Jerricho Cotchery with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) out. - Tim Heaney
Philadelphia Eagles observation: They've run much better against 3-4 teams than 4-3 squads. Howard Mudd's scheme, which favors a lightweight front five, matches up better with less cluttered defensive lines. - Tim Heaney
The Philadelphia Eagles didn't give up much rushing yards to the Dallas Cowboys a few weeks ago, but Dallas was in comeback mode. You can't call that a victory for Philly in the ground-stuffing column. They're still easy to gash. Many defensive players are still feeling their way through the system (especially Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and making sloppy tackles. - Tim Heaney
The Chicago Bears rejuvenated the philosophy of making Michael Vick pass from the pocket more often; their Week 9 containment reminded us of the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive woes, especially in the red zone and with turnovers. Vick is still a gunslinger who loves throwing on the move; that'll be hard to change. - Tim Heaney
Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have plagued the Jacksonville Jaguars in recent years. This could be one area that the Jags' slacking passing game could actually help; Blaine Gabbert's dink-and-dunk philosophy could neutralize the Indianapolis Colts' pass rush. - Tim Heaney
Though there's an opportunity due to the Jacksonville Jaguars' wideout inconsistency, Brian Robiskie's hamstring injury and late arrival to the squad don't bode well for him gaining fantasy relevance. - Tim Heaney
Dustin Keller has had some decent games versus the New England Patriots in the past, but expect New England to contain the New York Jets' TE like they did in the first 2011 meeting. New England has done a decent job of shutting down opposing tight ends that are big in their team's receiving game, like Jason Witten and Antonio Gates. - Tim Heaney
The New England Patriots just couldn't deal with Albert Haynesworth's inconsistency anymore; his recent slacking effort didn't help matters, either. He flashed dominance on one late play against the New York Giants, taking on two linemen and pancaking one of them. On the next play, he was smothered, and the Giants scored a TD. Microcosm of his issues, for sure. - Tim Heaney
Safe to guess the New England Patriots will attack the New York Jets frequent with runs against the weak middle of the defense. BenJarvus Green-Ellis gashed them for 136 yards in Week 5. In the last matchup with New York, Rob Gronkowski stayed in to block often, which should limit his stats and open up more looks for Aaron Hernandez. - Tim Heaney
New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs should continue to see the majority of the touches for the G-men again this weekend with Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) unlikely to go. Jacobs responded last week, carrying the ball 18 times for 72 yards and a touchdown. He also had four receptions for 28 yards. It wasn't anything special, but as an active participant Jacobs should continue to be a "different player" in the stat line than he was with Bradshaw on the field. Our New York source expects him to see 80 percent of the touches this weekend. The 49ers, his opponent, might have a thing or two to say about it though. - Ryan R. Bonini
Giants receiver Victor Cruz has earned the trust of quarterback Eli Manning, but no more so than the trust level Manning has with Mario Manningham. The big difference here, other than fantasy football points so far this year, is Manningham is typically the one of the two that defenses will double, putting Cruz in better situations to make plays and fantasy points. - Ryan R. Bonini
The Giants typically struggle against tight ends, which could be good for Vernon Davis, of the San Francisco 49ers, this weekend. Davis is the most feared of the 49ers offensive threats by New York. Look for the Giants to try to contain him, but they aren't going to be able to stop him. - Ryan R. Bonini
This should come as no shock: Now that all the New Orleans Saints' running backs are healthy (or close enough), the only one on whom fantasy football gamers should be willing to rely is Darren Sproles. The situation, among other factors, will dictate how they use Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram (heel) and/or Chris Ivory (hamstring), and it's just too risky to attempt to predict. At least until there's more go on. - Nicholas Minnix
Scraping the bottom of the wide receiver barrel in your fantasy football league? The Washington Redskins' Leonard Hankerson could be your man. He played on all but one of the team's snaps last week and is expected to start again in Week 10. When Santana Moss (hand) comes back, however, Jabar Gaffney will probably remain a starter. If the 'Skins are out of it, they could always decide to bag that and play the young fellas, though. - Nicholas Minnix
How will the Washington Redskins divvy up touches in the backfield in Week 10? Here's the guess: Roy Helu Jr. will start, and he's likeliest to see the ball most often because he's more reliable on passing downs than Ryan Torain. If the 'Skins are in the game, and Tashard Choice (hamstring) plays, percentage-wise, the split would go something like 40-40-20, with Choice bringing up the rear. - Nicholas Minnix
The Detroit Lions' left tackle future looks a little blurrier with the season-ending knee surgery for Jason Fox. Many have thought he could be the heir apparent to protecting Matthew Stafford's blind side, especially with Jeff Backus being an impending free agent. Now, Detroit might have to take another avenue if Fox's chronic knee woes keep hindering his upside. - Tim Heaney
Jahvid Best (concussion) won't play in Week 10 but still holds out hope to play this season. The Detroit Lions do, as well; they dragged their feet with a banged-up Matthew Stafford last year, too. Doctors our Lions source chatted with weren't overly pessimistic on Best's 2011 outlook, but his timetable is still up in the air. Best's career isn't in jeopardy or anything, but the Lions will probably be more inclined to find a long-term backup plan soon given Best's fragility. - Tim Heaney
Kevin Smith won't see many carries, if any, this week. He might eventually pass Keiland Williams for No. 2 work on the Detroit Lions' backfield depth chart, but he's chiefly insurance at this point. - Tim Heaney
The Chicago Bears have kept free safety Chris Conte deep often this year to prevent the big play. This might help contain the Detroit Lions' Calvin Johnson this week - all you can hope for, really - but could yield big numbers to tight end Brandon Pettigrew over the middle. More reason to click the Lions' No. 87. - Tim Heaney
The St. Louis Rams booted Jason Brown from center while calling on mauler Tony Wragge. Don't expect a drop-off in the running game, especially with the strong churning Steven Jackson has displayed of late. - Tim Heaney
Banking on 2010 numbers? No. But with Danario Alexander (hamstring) out again and Brandon Gibson proving inconsistent, Mark Clayton, who was just activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list, has a legit chance to grab the starting spot opposite Brandon Lloyd. The St. Louis Rams enjoyed the Clayton-Sam Bradford Oklahoma connection last season. Clayton probably won't see a full workload this week, but within the next few, he might become a more viable fantasy piece. - Tim Heaney
Greg Salas (fractured fibula) is done for the year. Austin Pettis replaces the shifty slot man for the St. Louis Rams. Pettis boasts long arms and a more imposing physique than his predecessor. The game appears to be slowing down for him, as well. Need WR depth, fantasy football players? - Tim Heaney
Sam Bradford (ankle) completed most of his passes in Week 9 but didn't have good timing with his wideouts. Remember, he hadn't worked much with recent acquisition Brandon Lloyd, and the Rams' cast of WR characters seems to change by the week. But with another week with this bunch under his belt, and against a sloppy Cleveland Browns defense in Week 10, Bradford should improve. - Tim Heaney
Matt Forte's Week 9 fumblitis shouldn't be a big concern, but Marion Barber III has been more involved lately for the Chicago Bears, finding the end zone frequently. They could use him as a clock ticker to keep the potent, pass-first Detroit Lions offense off the field. - Tim Heaney
Earl Bennett is the latest closest thing the Chicago Bears have to a No. 1 wideout. This one looks like it could stick, though. The much-renowned Vanderbilt connection with Jay Cutler, this pair's comfort level on the field ... there's plenty to like, especially in PPR leagues. Maybe some of those preseason whispers of a Bennett breakout are starting to come true. - Tim Heaney
Indianapolis lost Dallas Clark (fibula) indefinitely, but you shouldn't have high hopes for Jacob Tamme, who was a fantasy gem last year with Peyton Manning under center. Curtis Painter has not used the position adequately and did not provide any evidence that he will rely on Tamme enough for the tight end to matter for fantasy purposes. - Cory J. Bonini
The Colts will have their hands full against Maurice Jones-Drew this week, as he has dominated them since 2006. In that time, MJD has scored 12 touchdowns. The Jaguars are averaging 152.5 rushing yards as a team against divisional opponents since '06. - Cory J. Bonini
The Colts essentially benched rookie running back Delone Carter last week after a costly fumble, and Donald Brown took over as the primary ball carrier. The coaching staff wants to keep Carter involved as long as he protects the ball. Brown is a poor pass protector, but his relative rushing success the past few weeks may force Indy to keep him on the field more. He ran for a career-high 129 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars last December. - Cory J. Bonini
Joe Hawley will start at right guard since Atlanta's coaches felt the offense needed more push up the middle in the running game. He is a classic mauler but remains a work-in-progress as a pass protector. This should help Michael Turner as the Falcons plan to utilize a ground-heavy attack against the New Orleans Saints this weekend. That is the approach they have taken to keep Drew Brees off the field, but it limits the fantasy worth of Matt Ryan, Roddy White and Julio Jones this week. - Cory J. Bonini

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] listview text color
From: Glenn W Munroe <gwm@se...> - 2005-02-02 13:30
I'm afraid the short answer is "no" (as far as I'm aware)--at least not using the latest Win32::GUI release. Someone asked this a year or so ago and I looked into it, eventually coming up with a tremendous hack (using hooks) to get it to work. Since then, the XS code has changed and the hack doesn't even work any more. Having said that, I don't think it would be *too* difficult to get it to work again, but it would involve modifying the listview XS code. In case you're interested, I've included the code as a guide (it worked a couple of releases ago, but the Hook call now fails). Jez White and Chris Wearn have done some work on the listview code recently; maybe they have some ideas too...

News Details
Button relishing Monza challenge
Jenson Button is looking for a "strong result" when he heads to Monza to tackle the challenges of the high-speed track.
Button is one of many experienced drivers who has yet to taste the victory champagne at Italy.
He has come close, though, several times, taking the runner-up position three years in a row, 2009 to 2011.
And although this year Button's chances of yet another Monza podium are slim given McLaren's woes, the Brit is still relishing the challenges that await next weekend.
"I've always loved Monza. I really enjoy circuits that have a bit of history to them, and Monza has that in abundance - it's one of the greatest tracks on the calendar," Button said....

A year ago, Portland's mayoral race featured this catchy slogan: "Hales yeah!"
Today, it's, "Sorry, but Hales no!
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales said Tuesday he will not support political candidates in the upcoming election cycle, except maybe to endorse incumbent city commissioners.
Hales' decision to stay quiet during 2014 comes just a year after he fought to secure endorsements in his own bid to beat mayoral candidate Jefferson Smith.
Dana Haynes, a spokesman for Hales, said the decision is preemptive. As far as Haynes knows, no one has asked for an endorsement yet.
and large, Portland's elected officials avoid making endorsements for open
seats unless there's a clear front-runner or they're particularly passionate
about a cause or candidate.
In 2012, city commissioners steered clear of endorsements in the Hales/Smith race. But Commissioners Dan Saltzman and Nick Fish endorsed incumbent Amanda Fritz, who defeated challenger Mary Nolan, a state representative at the time.
on Tuesday announced that he won't make an endorsement for City Auditor, a post
being vacated by LaVonne
Griffin-Valade. So far, only Mary Hull Caballero, an auditor for Metro, is running for Portland's least-publicized and least-political seat, a position in which support from a heavy-hitter such as Hales could conceivably make an actual difference when voters go to cast a ballot.
Hales left open the possibility of supporting city council candidates; both Fish and Saltzman face re-election in May.
It's been years since a mayoral endorsement mattered. After former Mayor Sam Adams' sex scandal, political candidates weren't necessarily eager to ask for Adams' backing.
Hales knows the value of endorsements.
year, he fired off a nasty text message to the Portland Association of Teachers
after it endorsed
Smith, telling union leaders, "I don't think I have ever seen such disloyalty." Hales played up the
endorsements he did secure, selecting glowing quotes from former Mayor Vera
Katz and former Gov. Ted Kulongoski for the November Voters' Guide.

"Awesome location...fun or business"
Great location... Came to Houston for Texans game. Great restaurants, shopping and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Highly recommended!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Brief but met my needs and was very pleasant"
Although I was in and out for work - the room, hotel, and fitness areas all met needs, and though that sounds simplistic it is rarely accomplished as well.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Love it!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient, well appointed, friendly"
The hotel was located adjacent to the Galleria, and in the heart of the shopping and dining area of Houston. The front desk, bellmen, etc were all very friendly. Check-in was easy. The room was very confortable, with 4 large pillows on each bed, high quality bedding. The bath was furnished with soaps, shampoo,.... I purchased my hotel with the Westin […] Essential package which included parking (which runs $30 per night). I was disappointed that there was a $12 per day charge for Wi-Fi in the room. I would definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Dallas Westin v. Houston Westin"
We had just stayed at the Westin Galleria Dallas the 3 night prior to arriving at this hotel in Houston. We really enjoyed the Luxury Lounge at the Dallas Westin and were disappointed the Houston Westin didn't have anything comparable. The Houston Westin Valet seemed slower in comparison to Dallas. We did like the fact that Houston had an actual fridge […] instead of a minibar in the room. The hotel felt a little "tired" compared to Dallas. None of these will keep us from staying here again. The hotel and it's connection to the mall are great features for our family. We live in Switzerland and come to the States on occasion for business. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Great for shopping the galleria has the best storesGenuine Expedia guest review
ComfortableGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great weekend away"
The room was great, staff friendly and helpfull. Fantastic position being attached to the mall and with heaps of good quality resturaunts a short cab ride away. We'll be back.Genuine Expedia guest review
GREAT LOCATION!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"best stay"
It was the best experience ive ever had, very friendly staff and great service, Rooms were very awsome, I will definately stay here again....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A very good hotel in a prime location"
The bathroom could use a remodeling, it looks a little dated compared with the rest of the room, but the dual showerheads were superb. The staff was very attentive. A major drawback: the fees the hotel charges for packages delivered to the hotel (I made a few purchases online and had them delivered ot the hotel). I don't know if it is a chainwide policy […] but it was quite a bad surprise. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Loved itGenuine Hotels.com guest review
THIS WAS MY FISRT TIME @ The Westin Galleria Houston, AND I WAS MORE THAN PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING, THE COMFORT OF THE BED, THE WALK ACROSS TO THE PARK AREA AND THE POOL WAS NICE AND THE FITNESS ROOM WAS WONDERFUL (FOR MY SON), WE BOTH ENJOYED OUR STAY AND WANT TO COME AGAIN! - HEBERTS FROM LOUISIANA!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was good, refrigerator did not work. You added charges to my credit card and no charges had been made; you said it was customary, so when do I get it back. Doormen will knock you down to get to a person of celebrity status. The hallway on 17th floor looked like a domintory. Oh well, I'll be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect location"
Excellent . Looking forward to rebooking at the Westin Galleria .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to all must see sights"
Clean,quiet,convienceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Didnt like at all"
I did not get the rooms i paid for because they wiren't available at the time of my arrival, and when i order towels to my room there was roaches in towels live ones . I told.them and all they said was would you like mire mmGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Westin parking"
Hotel parking was a pain. When staying there make sure you park in the brown garage if not using the valet otherwise you'll be moving your car when the galleria closes.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to our son."
room was fine. Parking fee was ridiculous.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good hotel"
I have been a guest almost since they opened many many years ago! This time everything went well,except for room service that one night,took more than an hour,and dinner was simply cold. thanks!!Genuine Expedia guest review
we enjoyed our stay, the staff was most helpful front desk michelle went out of their way to accomodate our needs, the location in the Galleria is excellent,Genuine Expedia guest review
"The only thing I like is the location!!"
I like the location and the connection to the mall, but the staff and the services were not that good. The room was not very clean even the most important thing which is the bed. The bed sheets are always dirty. the lobby is usually busy and noisy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Houston Visit"
Hotel was fine but I couldn't believe they charge $10 a day for internet use.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Place to Crash!"
Awesome location, In the galleria! Very friendly staff, clean, and comfortable!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Average hotel with poor services . The swimming pool and common areas were poor . The common areas and restaurants were lousy . Redeeming feature is the large room size . The other good part was the access to the Galleria mall .Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel"
Great hotel, comfortable beds and right in Galleria Mall. Expensive thoughGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Westin Houston Galleria"
Nice hotel and well located but lacks a little atmosphere because of design, which sees it incorporated into the Galleria and hence no quieter places like internal bar/reception area. This is shared with the more public Galleria, which was a little surprising.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location - Needs update"
The staff stuck me by the elevator. It was loud all night. The hotel is badly in need of an update and in no way deserves the prices it usually commands. I'm glad I got a good deal.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Everything was great but the bell boys service thatn was kind of slow.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel in Houston -good comfort, near stores"
We were happy with our stay in the Westin Galleria; the staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel was well taken care of. The only problem I have is the person I made the reseveration with told me valet parking was a part of the price and therefore would not cost extra. However, when we left we were charged for 2 nights of the parking garage. Is […] this just playing with the wording? So instead of being charged for valet parking, I'm charged for the parking garage. Seems like the same thing to me so I was not happy about the extra charge and therefore will not recommend the hotel nor come back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very convenient for a shop-till-u-drop trip"
No frills. Rooms are reasonably spacious and clean. The bathroom (especially shower) showed the age of the hotel - but still clean. Lounge is unimpressive and other amenities are bare minimum. But for a shopping trip to the Galleria mall, this is the best you can do.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Needs upgrade"
Rooms need an upgrade, for the amount of money we paid for a room with a view of the roof. There was coffee stains on the bed and we could hear our neighbor talking all night long.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very good hotel, I don´t like the restaurantGenuine Expedia guest review
"I will go back again !!!"
They care for me right away ..... very nice people...my room was clean and comfortable ......thanks xoxoxGenuine Expedia guest review
"Tremaine Weekend at the Westin Galleria"
My family and I stayed at the Westin for the Tremain dance workshop and competition. The hotel was full of dancers and plenty of parents along with regular travelers and through it all the hotel staff was amazing! Our room was very clean, room service was accurate and prompt and the housekeeping staff continued around the clock seeing to the upkeep […] of everything. The weekend was an exciting yet chaotic time of tight schedules and exhausted dancers and parents, but the staff of the Westin made sure all of our needs were met. It was a pleasant stay and we will stay at the Westin Galleria again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
My husband and i went to celebrate our anniversary. When I called to ask if there was anything I could have in the room, they offered wine and strawberries. And then gave us a card. It meant a lot, we don't get away often! Thanks, that service will keep me going back to the Westins.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean hotel in good location of Downtown Houston."
On a business trip I needed a good hotel in a good location. After very busy sessions, I could come home at night and relax with everthying I needed near by. If you wanted to, you could also 'shop til you drop' with one of the largest high end malls surrounding the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"good location"
The staff weren't overly friendly but the in-mall location made up for it. It was a bit outdated but clean enough.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Houston Galleria"
Great view from the upper floor of down town. Although older the hotel was very clean and quiet.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by The Westin Galleria Houston Dear Stewart, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and that you found the view of the surrounding area to be pleasant. We look forward to having you as our guest again and we warmly invite you back to the Westin Galleria. With kind regards, Benjamin McCrary Guest Relations Coordinator

Voronoi Shelf by Marc Newson.
The Voronoi Shelf by Mark Newson is more than a furniture, rather an impressive piece of modern art made from white Carrara marble. This impressive bookcase reminds us monumental marble sculptures.
Each Voronoi Shelf was made from a solid five metric-ton block of marble, which was cut based in the shape of a computer-generated "Voronoi Diagram" pattern. The organic design is a computational geometry concept crystallized in marble. The degree of complexity, the proportions and delicacy of the piece all serve to showcase Newson's unique design aesthetics.
"Sometimes I start with the material, sometimes the idea. In this case the materials were the inspiration. Often the context of materials strikes me more than the materials themselves. Context is new, not materials." – Marc Newson.
