A sport may come to a sudden stop so let's watch soccer
Maybe between now and October we should call this Doug Smith's Raptors Blog With A Whole Bunch Of Other Stuff That Interests Some Of You Because There's Not Enough Basketball At The Moment.
Unwieldy but …
Is this the last NBA day for a while?
We all know that the collective bargaining agreement expires tonight, there's a negotiation session scheduled for today in New York but there's been no sense of optimism that this thing is going to get settled in time to avert a lockout that could be crippling to a sport that's never been more popular than it is right now.
Yeah, sure is stupid, isn't it?
The specifics of the talks make my eyes glaze over so I'm not going to get into them in too much detail; it's billions divided by millions and give backs and takeaways and it's all about money.
But it's also all about office workers and ticket takers and concession stand workers and front office types who may face layoffs or salary cuts or job losses if this thing drags on for any length of time.
I know people always get hurt in labour situations like this and ancillary damage is unavoidable but just once I'd like to hear the owners and players say, 'hey, we're sorry, folks, we'll find a way to make it up to you.'
Not sure that's going to happen and if the falls rolls around and games are missed and people miss paydays, that's going to be the worst thing about this.
Yes, the players will ultimately make obscene amounts of money and owners will get a system that practically assures them a profit despite themselves and to think they'll suffer hardship is foolish.
The hardship is going to be felt by the regular folks affected by this; it's not right, but it's a fact and it blows.
Now to the other important stuff.
Of course I'm going to be near a TV at noon today to watch Canada-France and you probably should be, too.
(It's women's football for the uninitiated)
I kinda feel this weird connection to this team and maybe that's why I have become a big fan of this World Cup since the run-up really began a few weeks ago.
I remember covering a lot of them in Beijing and coming away very impressed with not only their athletic ability but the way the comported themselves with the media and the fans and the whole circus-like atmosphere of the Olympics.
They were tough, rugged and while they didn't play nearly as entertaining a brand of football (I seem to recall it was far more kick-and-chase back then instead of something trying to approximate the Beautiful Game under this coaching staff) they were fun to watch and write about.
Irregulars will know that I'm a fan of Canadian women's team sports (basketball, soccer, softball, primarily since I've written a lot about them all) because they just play, the often get short shrift from the public but they don't whine and they represent themselves, their country and their game in a manner of which we should all be proud.
You know I'm not a fan, per se, but I want these young women to do well.
So I'm chatting with a young friend of mine yesterday and we're talking about run of the mill stuff and the topic of the impending Canada Day weekend comes up with all the good stuff there is to do.
I said to her, "hey, this is a big weekend for you, right? Time to celebrate; it's like your birthday."
Her answer:
"It's like Christmas!"
And all I can think of is that I hope the idiot Mayor of the City Where I Work gets eaten by fist-sized black flies all weekend and that the entire time is filled with thunderstorms. And that he loses every game of Yahtzee he's forced to play to pass the rain-soaked hours.
So barring any work stuff that pops up, I've got a couple of days coming that could include some time on the deck and I have a wee bit of a craving for crustaceans and if anyone's got a good barbecue recipe, I'd give it a shot.
This has some pertinence given where we are in all things labour and also gives me a chance to give you one more chance to click, write, send and unburden yourselves with mail.
Q: Hi Doug. Very quick question re: the trade exception, which I believe exists until July 11.
Say, for example, a lockout begins on July 1, ten days before the exception expires. Does the exception just expire early or will the Raps get the ten days to use the exception when business reopens, if such a thing is permitted in the new CBA?
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Gareth M, Ireland
A: That's one of the great unknowns and when you ask any connected with any team about anything to do with the impending lockout or labour talks, they clam up like never before, fearing the Wrath of David.
Best I can tell you is we just have to wait. Wish I could have more info for you, but it's not easily obtained.
And it's actually July 9 if they pull off a miracle and get things done before the deadline.
Once more to the soccer:
Christine Sinclair is the anti-Hedo, isn't she?
(You know, with the whole mask thing)
Yes, I've heard the name Johnny Davis linked to Dwane's staff in Toronto but, no, nothing is official.
And as we've been saying off and on for a couple of weeks given the absence during workouts and at announcements, there's always been little chance either Alex or PJ would be back.
When things get done, or close to done, I'm pretty sure I'll let you know.
One more kick at the world juniors before they start sometime later this morning against Korea over in Latvia (and if I could figure out time zones I'd tell you exactly what time it is but I can't, so I won't).
One of the more intriguing kids on the Canadian team is Sim Bhullar, who many of you may have never heard of.
He's a 7-4 kid we wrote about in our paper in this piece a week or so ago and he'll attract a lot of attention, I'm sure.
Now, I have never seen him play in person so I cannot speak to his skills, his fluidity or his mobility but he is intriguing, if raw.
Greg Francis has this to say about him the other day.
"Sim is a has made huge strides in his game. He continues to improve throughout our training camp so I feel that he is among the best big men in the competition. Sim might be the best low post scorer in the tournament."
One to keep an eye on for sure.

Five Star Day
Release Date: November 4, 2011 (limited)
Studio: Breaking Glass Pictures
Director: Danny Buday
Screenwriter: Danny Buday
Starring: Cam Gigandet, Jena Malone, Will Yun Lee
Genre: Drama
Four People. One Horoscope. Infinite Possibilities. Jake Gibson's (Cam Gigandet) horoscope forecasts a perfect Five Star Day the morning of his birthday. Little does he realize that what's foretold to be a flawless day, unfolds to be far less than stellar when Jake's world is turned upside down as all that could go wrong…does. Determined that Astrology has no legitimacy, Jake embarks on a journey to test the theory of Astrology by finding the three people born the same time and place as himself – Sarah Reynolds (Jena Malone), Yvette Montgomery (Brooklyn Sudano) and Wesley Henderson (Max Hartman). The journey quickly uproots Jake from the small college town of Berkeley, California to downtown Chicago where he sets out to find and interview Sarah, Yvette and Wesley to see if their birthdays proved to be as disappointing as his own. Jake's pursuit in finding his three Astrological matches (or Zodiac twins) will not only test his convictions, but validate how life's unexpected twists of fate can deliver much more than the anticipated. The unforeseen takes Jake from the Windy City, to the boardwalk of New Jersey's Atlantic City, to the bustling streets of New York. What Jake learns along the way is an important lesson about life, love, fate and destiny that will unexpectedly change his life forever.

Presented to: BYU Studies
Since its inception in 1959, BYU Studies has played a pivotal role in supporting and promoting Mormon literature and Mormon literary studies. In BYU Studies numerous Mormon historical writings of literary interest have first been edited for publication, including letters, journals, sermons, biographies, and other texts that document the long tradition of Mormon literary writing.
Contemporary Mormon writers have also found a welcome place in the pages of BYU Studies, publishing widely and continuously in a variety of genres. Authors very familiar to Mormon literary history have appeared there, including fiction writers Eileen Gibbons Kump, Donald Marshall, and Douglas Thayer; poets Clinton Larson, Marden Clark, Laura Hamblin, John Harris, and Susan Howe. Noted personal essayists such as Tessa Meyer Santiago have also appeared in the journal, which continues to encourage the development of Mormon writing through its annual personal essay and poetry contests.
Importantly, BYU Studies has promoted the necessary winnowing procedure that is literary criticism, featuring numerous book reviews by people such as Elouise Bell and Gladys Farmer, as well as in-depth literary analyses by such critics as Gloria Cronin, Ed Hart, Richard Cracroft, Eugene England, Edward Geary, Maureen Ursenbach Beecher, and John Bennion.
Moreover, the academic study of Mormon literature would not be possible without the subject bibliographies published in BYU Studies by Chad Flake, Scott Duvall, and others, which now form the basis of the Mormon Literature Database. BYU Studies has also been a place where Mormon literary critics have been able to discuss authors and works outside of Mormonism, from Tolstoy to Twain, from the Brontë sisters to Borges, from George Eliot to T. S. Eliot, from Dostoevsky to Arthur Conan Doyle.
The authors and editors that have contributed to BYU Studies have made a lasting impact upon LDS literary studies. The Association for Mormon Letters wishes to recognize BYU Studies and its host institution for this ongoing contribution to Mormon literary writing.

Universal City, Texas 1 course · 18 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+0 votes Allen Thornhill › May 21, 2011
I liked this course a lot. Quite a few short, technical holes and a few very tough long holes. There were a few holes where it wasn't clear where the next hole was located, so I was very thankful to have locals helping me navigate. The tee boxes are wide and long, which is nice. The course could use a few trashcans, a few more "next hole" signs, and more accurate signage of some of the holes, but overall a very solid and fun course.

EAST SYRACUSE -- It's a success story that shows hard work and dedication can pay off.
East Syracuse Chevrolet, on Bridge Street has a new owner. It was sold Thursday to a long-standing employee, Gino Barbuto.
Barbuto was born in Italy and moved to the US when he was 4 years old. When he entered Kindergarten he could barely speak English. He says his latest career achievement embodies his American Dream.
Barbuto started out at the dealership in 1986 as a service advisor. Over the course of 25 years, he worked his way up and he's now the new dealer operator. Only the 4th dealer operator in the corporations 82 year history.
Barbuto says his career is an example to his sons to work hard."It's a lesson to work hard. I started out writing orders and worked my way up," he said.
Barbuto has big plans for the dealership. He wants to expand the used car operation, upgrade the current facility on Bridge Street and revamp the showroom space inside the dealership

A: Avoid handling the animal if possible and stay away from it. Approaching the animal will cause it more stress and it may try to flee, causing itself further injury. If it is a baby, the parents are often nearby, so leave it alone and leave the area and the parents will often return to care for it. Call a local authority such as the humane society or a rehabilitation centre. Never attempt to capture an injured animal that may potentially bite you. Keep an eye on the injured animal from a safe distance and wait for the authority to arrive. Never go near an animal that exhibits twitching or erratic behavior, it may have rabies.
Some General Rules for Wildlife Emergencies: 1) Leave the animal alone if: - the parent is nearby - it appears healthy 2) Call the authorities if: - you see that the animal's parent is dead - it appears weak or sick - it is visibly injured - it is in danger from traffic, power lines or other. - it is acting erratic and has no signs of injury.

A: Beaver Trapping and Lodge/Dam Removal If a beaver is considered a nuisance, it is the landowner's responsibility to have it trapped and the wood and mud obstructions in the creek physically removed. Trapping the animal must be carried out in accordance with the Ministry of Natural Resources guidelines and approvals. A list of trappers in the area may be found in the yellow pages under Pest Control Services or Animal Control or try contacting your local MNR office. The amount that the trapper charges for the work may be minimized depending upon when the beaver is trapped and if the trapper can recoup the cost through the sale of the pelt.
Once the beaver is removed the lodge and dams will need to be dismantled. These works should be undertaken by hand to minimize any impacts to the stream. A simple notch in the dam should allow the water to drain from the upstream flooded areas and provide an opportunity for the stream to open itself up naturally under fluctuating flow conditions. Any works beyond simple hand/shovel activities will require that a work plan and proposed work schedule be submitted to and reviewed by Conservation Halton staff prior to commencement.
The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, Part II has this to say about Beavers
Dens: Furbearing Mammals (1) A person shall not intentionally damage or destroy the den or habitual dwelling of a furbearing mammal, other than a fox or skunk, unless the person holds a licence to trap furbearing mammals. Beaver Dams (2) A person shall not damage or destroy a beaver dam unless the person holds a licence to trap furbearing mammals. Farmers (3) Despite subsection (1)'s requirement for a licence, a farmer or a member of a farmer's family who resides with the farmer may, during the open season and without a licence, on the farmer's land, (a) hunt or trap furbearing mammals; View a full version of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act here.
A: Canada Geese are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. Farmers may apply to Canadian Wildlife Service for a scare/kill permit if geese are causing serious harm. To request a permit, contact the Permit Officer (905) 336-4464. Be aware that many areas have firearm regulations.
This page has a complete chart summary of Canada Geese regulations in the southern district of Ontario.
One of the best ways to fend off Canada Geese is with habitat modifications. The key is to decrease their sight lines. They need to see where they are going to land. They really like manicured grass that is short and cut right to the edge of ponds/water bodies. Letting the grass grow taller adjacent to a water body will make the property less appealing to the geese. Strategic placement of bushes and trees is a good plan to block landings and takeoff areas. Here is a list of websites with very good ideas on how to discourage geese from residing on your property.
Habitat Modification and Canada Geese Report Lets Control Ourselves article
Q: Where am I allowed to hunt on Conservation Halton's land?
A: Leave it alone. It probably will find its way out and move on its own. Do NOT feed it! If it finds an ample source of food it will stay and/or return, often others will also be attracted. If it finds there is no food in the area, it will simply move on when it gets hungry.
Do not be alarmed if the duck stays in the pool for hours at a time. They are built for life on the water and may just be taking a rest in your pool. Often they will move on by the next day when they find the habitat not suitable.
If the duck appears to be trapped in your pool and unable to get out, raise the water level to several centimetres or so below the upper edge. This will allow the duck to climb out. If this does not work, you can try laying a piece of wood (or wood covered in carpet for traction) off the edge of the pool and slanting into the water so the duck can climb up and out using it.
To prevent ducks from returning, place-moving objects around the pool, balloons with large 'eyespots' painted on them are useful as they startle ducks. Do not leave bird feed on the ground in the area. If the ducks continue to be a problem, the landowner may want to invest in overhead screening (wires) similar to those used at Kelso beach.
A: Be aware of invasive species in Ontario by visiting the invasive species website: http://www.invadingspecies.com/ or the Ontario Invasive Plant Councils website: www.ontarioinvasiveplants.ca/
A: It is a mosquito borne illness that can be transmitted to humans. In some cases, it can cause encephalitis (swelling of the brain), which may even lead to death. The elderly and those with weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to the disease, although others can be affected. With respect to the West Nile Virus, only two of the 57 mosquito species found in Ontario are believed to have a primary role in spreading the virus.
West Nile Virus not only affects human health but also impacts wildlife populations and, depending on the control methods used, watershed wetlands. The draining or filling in of wetlands as a possible way to control mosquitoes is not an ecologically sound way to remove potential breeding sites. Mosquito species found in wetlands are generally not the ones that carry the virus and the value of wetlands for water quality and wildlife habitat has long been recognized. Wetlands also produce many mosquito-eating wildlife species that feed on both adult mosquitoes and larva within the wetland. Culex mosquitoes, which are the most common carriers of West Nile Virus have a limited flight range (less than 3 kilometres) and this means that the adults are generally found close to their hatching site. If you are bitten by one of these mosquitoes, it likely hatched nearby. These mosquitoes usually breed in very sheltered stagnant water and their larvae are most often found in human altered or created breeding sites such as: discarded tires, plugged eaves troughs, open rain barrels, birdbaths and other puddles that last for longer than a week. Consequently, a large degree of control can be achieved by eliminating the man-made breeding habitats for these mosquitoes, by keeping the water fresh (change and clean birdbaths once a week, add a running water feature, screen off rain barrels) and by localized application of pesticides, if required.
For further information about West Nile Virus
A: This causes much harm to the creeks and its inhabitants. Pool water contains many harsh chemicals (such as chlorine) designed to kill and prevent growth of algae and bacteria. By discharging this into the creeks you are killing or harming the fish, plants and microorganisms living in the creek.
Do not discharge pool water straight into storm drains. These lead to streams as well and will cause damage.
Instead discharge pool water onto your grass or sandy area. This will allow the water to percolate through the plants and soil, which will filter out much of the chemicals before it reaches the streams or ground water.
A: Yes. People do not realize that there are critical lands near rivers and creeks that are regulated by Conservation Halton.

Birthday Girl flies by so quickly that you
barely break a sweat during it. Jez Butterworths comedy-thriller is little more than
a melange of quirky moods, but its a zippy little ride while it lasts, one that
never falls into a rut.
Ben Chaplin
plays John Buckingham, a lovelorn bank clerk in a small burg outside of London, who orders
a Russian mail-order bride over the Internet. The woman he selects is advertised as an
English-speaker, but when Nadia (Nicole Kidman) steps off the plane she knows only one
wordyesand shes a beaten-down looking thing who can barely
bring herself to look him in the eye. When the agency that arranged the set-up
doesnt returns his calls, John has no idea what to do with this chain-smoking little
bird whos landed in his house. But Nadia figures out how to break the ice after
finding Johns stash of porno magazines, and the two begin a passionate affair, with
Nadia throwing herself at John whenever he tries to catch his breath. By steps she becomes
something like the wife he craved, at least until the night of her birthday party, when
two Russian guys who obviously spell trouble show up claiming to be her cousins.
The script, by Butterworth and his
brother Tom, follows the trail blazed by Jonathan Demmes Something Wild, beginning as
a lighthearted study of a yuppies liberation by a mysterious young woman, and
shifting into darker hues as the guy gets more than hes bargained for. But Birthday Girl has an original tone thats part
fire and part ice: Johns fury after Nadia and her friends betray him is lined with
ragged intensity, yet the couples confrontation in a roadside diner maintains a
comic edge even as they lash out at each other. Despite its barbed dialogue and the
presence of a near-psycho, the movie never brutalizes its audience, choosing instead to
keep us off-balance by continually turning up unexpected facets of its characters. Things
never turn ugly as they did in, say, Shallow Gravethe threat
of violence is mostly used to maintain a fairy-tale tone. Birthday Girl is a softie at heart, and in touches
like the banks sensitivity-training sessions it even shows the slightly daft satiric
spirit of Bill Forsyths gentle comedies.
Kidman continues her remarkable run of the last couple years with another perfect
performance. Shes come a long way since To Die For, when she seemed to
be aping what a good actor would do; now, shes inhabiting characters with her body
and soul. Shes particularly impressive in Birthday
Girls first hour, when she has to express herself largely in silence (the small
amount of dialogue she does have is in Russian), forcing her to express Nadias
vulnerability in controlled double-takes or by despondently slouching over a table.
The only
thing wrong with Birthday Girl is that
its missing a last act. It simply screeches to a halt in the middle of what begins
as a chase-scene, and the end-credits are rolling before all the loose ends have been tied
up. The material is so thin that ending the movie practically in mid-sentence should be a
crippling blow, but with a keep-em-guessing plot and an affectionate take on its
screwed-up characters, Birthday Girl feels more
like an unfinished sketch than a waste of good drawing paper.

How Do Our Brains Process Music?
In an excerpt from his new book, David Byrne explains why sometimes, he prefers hearing nothing
- By David Byrne
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2012, Subscribe
I listen to music only at very specific times. When I go out to hear it live, most obviously. When I'm cooking or doing the dishes I put on music, and sometimes other people are present. When I'm jogging or cycling to and from work down New York's West Side Highway bike path, or if I'm in a rented car on the rare occasions I have to drive somewhere, I listen alone. And when I'm writing and recording music, I listen to what I'm working on. But that's it.
I find music somewhat intrusive in restaurants or bars. Maybe due to my involvement with it, I feel I have to either listen intently or tune it out. Mostly I tune it out; I often don't even notice if a Talking Heads song is playing in most public places. Sadly, most music then becomes (for me) an annoying sonic layer that just adds to the background noise.
As music becomes less of a thing—a cylinder, a cassette, a disc—and more ephemeral, perhaps we will start to assign an increasing value to live performances again. After years of hoarding LPs and CDs, I have to admit I'm now getting rid of them. I occasionally pop a CD into a player, but I've pretty much completely converted to listening to MP3s either on my computer or, gulp, my phone! For me, music is becoming dematerialized, a state that is more truthful to its nature, I suspect. Technology has brought us full circle.
I go to at least one live performance a week, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. There are other people there. Often there is beer, too. After more than a hundred years of technological innovation, the digitization of music has inadvertently had the effect of emphasizing its social function. Not only do we still give friends copies of music that excites us, but increasingly we have come to value the social aspect of a live performance more than we used to. Music technology in some ways appears to have been on a trajectory in which the end result is that it will destroy and devalue itself. It will succeed completely when it self-destructs. The technology is useful and convenient, but it has, in the end, reduced its own value and increased the value of the things it has never been able to capture or reproduce.
Technology has altered the way music sounds, how it's composed and how we experience it. It has also flooded the world with music. The world is awash with (mostly) recorded sounds. We used to have to pay for music or make it ourselves; playing, hearing and experiencing it was exceptional, a rare and special experience. Now hearing it is ubiquitous, and silence is the rarity that we pay for and savor.
Does our enjoyment of music—our ability to find a sequence of sounds emotionally affecting—have some neurological basis? From an evolutionary standpoint, does enjoying music provide any advantage? Is music of any truly practical use, or is it simply baggage that got carried along as we evolved other more obviously useful adaptations? Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and biologist Richard Lewontin wrote a paper in 1979 claiming that some of our skills and abilities might be like spandrels—the architectural negative spaces above the curve of the arches of buildings—details that weren't originally designed as autonomous entities, but that came into being as a result of other, more practical elements around them.
Dale Purves, a professor at Duke University, studied this question with his colleagues David Schwartz and Catherine Howe, and they think they might have some answers. They discovered that the sonic range that matters and interests us the most is identical to the range of sounds we ourselves produce. Our ears and our brains have evolved to catch subtle nuances mainly within that range, and we hear less, or often nothing at all, outside of it. We can't hear what bats hear, or the subharmonic sound that whales use. For the most part, music also falls into the range of what we can hear. Though some of the harmonics that give voices and instruments their characteristic sounds are beyond our hearing range, the effects they produce are not. The part of our brain that analyzes sounds in those musical frequencies that overlap with the sounds we ourselves make is larger and more developed—just as the visual analysis of faces is a specialty of another highly developed part of the brain.
The Purves group also added to this the assumption that periodic sounds— sounds that repeat regularly—are generally indicative of living things, and are therefore more interesting to us. A sound that occurs over and over could be something to be wary of, or it could lead to a friend, or a source of food or water. We can see how these parameters and regions of interest narrow down toward an area of sounds similar to what we call music. Purves surmised that it would seem natural that human speech therefore influenced the evolution of the human auditory system as well as the part of the brain that processes those audio signals. Our vocalizations, and our ability to perceive their nuances and subtlety, co-evolved.
In a UCLA study, neurologists Istvan Molnar-Szakacs and Katie Overy watched brain scans to see which neurons fired while people and monkeys observed other people and monkeys perform specific actions or experience specific emotions. They determined that a set of neurons in the observer "mirrors" what they saw happening in the observed. If you are watching an athlete, for example, the neurons that are associated with the same muscles the athlete is using will fire. Our muscles don't move, and sadly there's no virtual workout or health benefit from watching other people exert themselves, but the neurons do act as if we are mimicking the observed. This mirror effect goes for emotional signals as well. When we see someone frown or smile, the neurons associated with those facial muscles will fire. But—and here's the significant part—the emotional neurons associated with those feelings fire as well. Visual and auditory clues trigger empathetic neurons. Corny but true: If you smile you will make other people happy. We feel what the other is feeling—maybe not as strongly, or as profoundly—but empathy seems to be built into our neurology. It has been proposed that this shared representation (as neuroscientists call it) is essential for any type of communication. The ability to experience a shared representation is how we know what the other person is getting at, what they're talking about. If we didn't have this means of sharing common references, we wouldn't be able to communicate.
It's sort of stupidly obvious—of course we feel what others are feeling, at least to some extent. If we didn't, then why would we ever cry at the movies or smile when we heard a love song? The border between what you feel and what I feel is porous. That we are social animals is deeply ingrained and makes us what we are. We think of ourselves as individuals, but to some extent we are not; our very cells are joined to the group by these evolved empathic reactions to others. This mirroring isn't just emotional, it's social and physical, too. When someone gets hurt we "feel" their pain, though we don't collapse in agony. And when a singer throws back his head and lets loose, we understand that as well. We have an interior image of what he is going through when his body assumes that shape.
We anthropomorphize abstract sounds, too. We can read emotions when we hear someone's footsteps. Simple feelings—sadness, happiness and anger—are pretty easily detected. Footsteps might seem an obvious example, but it shows that we connect all sorts of sounds to our assumptions about what emotion, feeling or sensation generated that sound.

Jenn, do you not think to trust an article from the Smithsonian? It is citing information from studies conducted at research institutions. This article is a research paper in itself... ashily are you describing your own comment? *sigh*

I read this in the magazine. I'm often surprised by how normal he appears in print. A few things I found interesting: amused to find Bernie Krause's name smack dab in the middle of two comments/quotes on John Cage - considering Cage's infamous quote about Krause and his music. Secondly, there's nothing ironic at all about the title Silence, considering it was published nine years after his most notorious composition that emphasized that silence, as we normally refer to it, doesn't really exist. Also, the description of "The Buddha Machine" music players is wrong. None of the three that've been released so far (there's a fourth coming soon) use "random algorithms to organize a series of soothing tones and thereby create never-ending, non-repeating melodies." Lastly, I DO love all kinds of music. The idea that "forms of music [can be] diametrically opposed to one another" is just cRaZy. ®ø∂

I agree with David Byrne on music at restaurants. I feel it is a distraction as well. I LOVE music, but I do not want others to force it on me. If I go to a restaurant with my family on the rare occasion, I want to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of only our conversation, not background noise and commercials. Did I mention I love music? I love to ride my bike with headphones of my music selection,(yeah it is kinda dangerous riding with headphones, but I am usually on bike trail) I do not do so in traffic.!! I love to go for a good jog or brisk walk with headphones. It makes the time go faster?! I especially like cooking dinner with music! I am not a television girl so music is my thing. I even do better with tests, if I listen to music with headphones attached to my ears.It is like it fuels my brain!!??

Most interesting article. As a professional musician and working in healthcare for many years, I have found that music remains marginalized still....and relegated only to what evidence-based science can verify. I believe that there will be other ways of knowing that will be acknowledged and verified as requisite to fully optimize the human condition and its many ways of healing. I would add to this my own theory that music is objective, but responses are subjective and hold the key to meaning. The power of music will always reside in the listener, the context of listening, and the ways meaning is made from the experience. Again, a thoughtful and insightful article.
Posted by Susan Mazer on November 11,2012 | 01:29 PM
An excellent article. Please take it a step further. I would like to add that in some people, if not all, it is not just the facial expression that empathizes. It is the whole body. Memory may be a good indicator. Also natural ability to dance and rhythem may be indicators. 'Chemistry','being of the same mind', similarity in body size/type, and codependence may also be relevant. But I know it can be whole body. And it makes sense, because a facial reaction is connected to a body reaction and visa versa. Ask some physical therapists or craniosacral therapists about this. We just haven't visualized it yet, except maybe with SQUID type detectors. How to turn it off sometimes(a physical equivalent of 'tune-out')would be helpful. Maybe this is why Thoreau had to go to the woods 'to live intentionally'.

I read with great interest David Byrne's musings on the nature of music. My own research for the Tomcha & Vlasch Project brought forth similar conclusions as well as some unexpected insights. For example, listening to the internal sounds of a woman in her third trimester as experienced by the fetus sheds some light on why we may be predisposed to a steady pulse in later exposure to music. Similarly, analyzing the harmonic structure at points of repose (cadence) for primitive and advanced cultures seems to indicate an innate preference for intervals at the low end of the overtone series, not unlike those created by our own vocal cords. In fact, the history of Western music may be viewed as ascending the overtones series from octaves, fifths and fourths, to tertian harmony (thirds) and finally to microtones used in some modern classical compositions. Melody conveys the most information (as per Information Theory) when it artfully thwarts the expectations of the listener so that it is neither too redundant nor too chaotic: something the great composers knew instinctively.

why do the younger generation can,t work without music it makes boring work acceptable it does not prompt individual thought.some people may be inspired by music but now it may be an excuse for using some else,s brain than your own to be inventive.music, art and literature may help but do not let it suppress inspiration from ones self to create or inspire a new direction.

I knew that listening to certain genres of music can have an influential affect on one's mood but didn't know the intricate details of why and when. I didn't know that neurons had anything to do with it so this was an interesting article to read. Music is strongly connected in my everyday life and I shed off different characters when doing so. Just like the author of this article put, music in outdoor environments have a disconcerting rush sometimes because I do feel it to be private when I choose it on my own clock. However, music is music, and I feel the sense of calmness on the other hand.
Posted by Joyce Kang on October 4,2012 | 12:16 AM
I agree that we act in a way to fit in. The siciety and our environment have shaped the way we are and we can see reality the way it's been presented to us through media and our everyday interactions with others. The reason why we cry at the movies along with others is because we are all trying to relate and have a sense of unity with our surroundings. This is a good reson why we hear music everywhere and it's normal that we are being pushed into something that everybody else have been pushed into as well. However , music is an art and is sholdn't be a sourse for people to push others into styles they want us to listen. life performances are so much more real and unique and us humans, we need to strive to acomplish all the things that seem real for us and pleasant for our ears too!
Posted by Daria Ivanova on October 3,2012 | 12:36 AM
No wonder David Byrne believes the contemporary and future environment of music will destroy itself by fulfilling itself. In the new John Cage world, it seems, we'll be sitting around listening to the music of the spheres and waiting for our senses to record some magic moments. I don't like all kinds of music, and certainly not this kind. At least Mr. Byrne accepts an alternative, an occasional return to what he calls "the prison of melody, rigid structure and harmony." Thank Heavens for Beethoven, Bach and Brahms, and also Gershwin, Berlin and Hoagy Carmichael.
Posted by Wells Huff on October 3,2012 | 02:16 PM
Fascinating article. Reading about the neurological mirroring that happens when people listen to music made me wonder if similar mirroring happens with visual art. With music, if we can't imagine what instrument the musician played, because of computer-generated sounds, is there less mirroring? If mirroring does happen with visual art, if colorization is done by computer instead of brush stroke or other obvious human touch, would there be less mirroring? If the brush strokes in my paintings were more obvious, would the viewing experience feel more participatory? When I am moved more by art I see in person than by a photo of it, and am moved more by a live concert than by a recording, is it partly due to a higher degree of mirroring? Thank you for stimulating my brain.

Israel News Agency
Jerusalem —- March 9, 2010 …. . Classic, professional public relations (PR) is about to go through a revolutionary change. The days of faxing out and or emailing multiple press releases with glossy photos attached to journalists are numbered.
For decades, when one had a special message to deliver to a B2B, B2C, governmental or non-profit market, they would type up a news release, mail it, messenger it and or fax it out. Today, email has become the weapon of choice, unless the news release is especially sensitive and or time dated.
But even these practices will soon become extinct due to social networking, Web 2.0 and SEO optimized new media Blogs and Websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace and Meetup.com.
One of my high tech clients asked me to explain today exactly why he needed to be on Facebook.
I responded: "When TIME Magazine, CNN and FOX News try to contact me – it is no longer through email – they are tracking me down through Facebook or LinkedIn and using Facebook and or LinkedIn mail."
This speaks volumes for how governments, corporations and non-profits are now contacting the media today. Working in reverse, if one is seeking to get news out, especially with regard to crisis communications management and reputation public relations, online social media has become the potent channel to use with Facebook and LinkedIn leading the pack.
Facebook today has over 350 million members and is climbing fast in reaching up 500 million people from the US, Canada, UK, Australia and France to Israel, Germany, Japan, India and China within the very near future. What once started out as a Website from a Harvard dorm room as a means to meet girls, has grown to become the Web's number two ranked entity, behind search engine Google.
And Facebook is no longer limited to those under 25. The number of Americans over 35, 45, and 55 on Facebook is growing at a rapid pace. In the last 60 days alone, the number of members over 35 on Facebook has nearly doubled.
The PR professional needs not only to be on Facebook but to learn how Facebook works. He or she needs to spend perhaps months learning Facebook culture and Facebook terms of service. If one does not respect the rules of Facebook, they will find that their Facebook account and the account of their client disabled within days.
One can also get disabled from Facebook by revealing too much information to the masses, giving hackers an opportunity to attack your hard drive or thieves breaking into your office to deactivate or redirect your Facebook, email and or other Web 2.0 accounts pretending to be you.
New media, social networking, Web 2.0 Websites and Blogs are now killing conventional print media with average daily circulation falling more than 10 percent in the April-September 2009 period compared with the same period last year, accelerating a slide that has led to thousands of bankruptcies, closures and cutbacks in newsrooms from New York, Washington and Los Angeles to London, Paris and Tel Aviv.
Average Sunday circulation for 562 US newspapers was down by more than 7.49 percent.
When seeking to reach the masses today through established, accredited media outlets which have online news departments, the new form of public relations or NPR (New Public Relations) is found on social networking sites where one only needs one news release sent out into a viral marketing spin. Rather than advertising an upcoming special event, trade show or exhibition with 3 or 4 news releases, one only needs one SEO – search engine optimization – PR news release to create a group on Facebook, an announcement on LinkedIn, Twitter and a paid announcement on MeetUp.com.
This news release (or PR) should contain all of the 5 w's – who, what, where, when and how. It should contain as many relevant keywords in it as possible which associates to the event. And one should strive to get this news release placed on Google News as a news release or as a news story. In the hierarchy of Google News – aim for a news story, rather than a news release which is not considered as a prime source.
For those who are seasoned, professional journalists and PR, media consultants, this represents major changes to what you have learned and practiced from the AP Stylebook!
Not all SEO PRs are created equally. There are many inexperienced, so-called SEO PR experts who have nothing more than training in hair dressing, cosmetics or construction who have found SEO as quick and convenient means to make money, as most people and companies do not understand anything about HTML, page titles and META tags. But the truly successful PR professionals today will take their journalism experience, push the envelope and integrate his or her creative writing skills with SEO to reach the largest possible audience.
In addition, you may find a really good PR consultant who has recently taken SEO, new media, social networking, Web 2.0 courses or an SEO consultant who has just spent three months learning creative writing and media placement but they will not always get all they need from an academic course or 2 hour seminar.
Getting the PR message out today demands having a news and or PR channel that was established years ago and has an abundance of back links coming into it. It must have the organic ears and the eyes of Google News and backed-up with paid for Google Adwords and Facebook ads.
Lastly, as soon as that story appears on Google News, the PR pro now needs to push that story out through social media, Web 2.0 outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Blogs. What we are looking at here is integrating professional creative writing with SEO HTML optimized copy with online news aggregators such as Google News, Yahoo News and DIGG.
News distribution, targeting, monitoring and online PR, branding and marketing solutions today demand an ocean of knowledge in several new digital disciplines. Without knowing the new social networking, Web 2.0 forest, one will never find the trees that they are seeking to target.
So how can you tell if your PR news release is truly reaching millions for real estate, politics, entertainment, food, high tech, sports and or reputation crisis communications management rather than just a few dozen people?
Copy and paste the headline of the news release into Google Web and place quotation marks at the beginning and end of the head. Click on search and then count on how many Websites are carrying your story. The higher the number that the PR organization can secure for you becomes the real acid test of which PR SEO firm of 2010 that you want to retain for you and your organization.

Since the '40s, Hammer Packaging, founded in 1912, has been printing labels for the food and beverages industry: 360-degree labels, pressure sensitive labels and in-mold labels produced using an injection molding procedure. Six years ago the long-standing company entered the shrink sleeves business segment with two VSOP printing presses from Drent Goebel. The segment is growing dynamically and Hammer Packaging is constantly gaining new customers, prompting its President and CEO James E. Hammer to purchase a third web printing press.
From right: Werner Naegeli (Managing Director of Muller Martini USA), James E. Hammer (President and CEO of Hammer Packaging), Hart Swisher (Director of Technology of Hammer Packaging), Martin Karpie (Vice President of Operations of Hammer Packaging), Louis Iovoli (Vice President of Strategic Partnership/Marketing of Hammer Packaging), Mark Rauth (Sales Manager of Muller Martini USA), Doug Weiss (Business Development Muller Martini USA).
At drupa in Düsseldorf, the great-grandson of the company founder signed a purchase agreement for the new VSOP from Muller Martini with nine printing units, plus an additional flexo unit, hot air drying and EB drying. It will be put into operation towards the end of the year. "Compared to the predecessor models of Drent Goebel, Muller Martini has made some important technological upgrades," says Jim Hammer, explaining his choice of the latest investment.
Modern Control TechnologyOne particular innovation is modern control technology. Thanks to the application of Muller Martini control topology in the VSOP, the reliability of the machine has been increased and considerably fewer components are in use. That simplifies both operation and maintenance. The sleeve positioning improvement in the printing units reduces wear and tear on the air shaft in the case of frequent size changes. "The new printing press fulfills our requirements exactly," says a visibly satisfied Jim Hammer in summary at Muller Martini's drupa stand.

£30 million plans to complete Brighton development
3:00pm Friday 7th October 2011 in News
The final £30 million piece in a major city centre regeneration project could be set in place after being given the thumbs up by council officers.
Brighton and Hove City Council officials have given their backing to plans by London-based Square Bay to create housing, offices, shops and a hotel on the Block J site at Brighton's New England Quarter, close to Brighton Station.
The proposals include office space, a 94-bedroom four-star hotel and almost 150 one, two and three bed flats within three blocks.
As part of the proposed planning agreement, the site developers have offered to give £150,000 to improve recreational facilities at The Level and £340,000 towards improvements to the rear of the station.
Around a third of the homes provided would be affordable housing on the site between Fleet Street and Stroudley Road, Brighton.
Block J is the development of a car park which was part of the railway goods yard until the 1970s.
It is the last piece of the New England Quarter Masterplan which was started in 2001 when the area was divided into 15 blocks for regeneration.
Markham Hanson, the director of Square Bay, said: "We have come an awful long way in the last few months considering the current environment.
"The site should create within the region of 350 jobs and finally finish that piece of development as a whole."
The plans are the culmination of around two years of discussions between the council and developers.
Work on the site could start in the next six months if permission is granted and completed within two years.
A decision will be made by the council's planning committee on Wednesday.

The nightmare that Brittnee Plant's parents were living has come to an end: police say that Brittnee has been found and reunited with her family nearly two weeks after the 13-year-old walked out of her Mesa home.
Brittnee and her companion had spent a week in Mexico, and when they were returning to Arizona, Border Patrol officers identified Brittnee as a missing juvenile and alerted local cops.

PROVIDED BY THE FWC - Now that the weather outside is chilly, Florida manatees are migrating to warmer waters. They swim in search of a warm winter refuge such as freshwater springs or canals adjacent to power plant outflows.
An adult manatee may weigh 1,000 pounds or more but is susceptible to cold. Water temperatures dipping to 68 degrees or below can produce cold stress in these aquatic mammals, and even cause death.
With many of the seasonal manatee protection zones that went into effect on November 15, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) cautions boaters to be vigilant about slowing down and watching out for manatees. In Broward County, some slow speed zones formerly active only on weekends are now in effect every day during the cold season. November is designated as Manatee Awareness Month because of this seasonal migration.
"Many manatees in Florida have scars from run-ins with boats. We can do our part to help by complying with slow-speed and no-entry zones that indicate manatees may be in the area," said Kipp Frohlich, who leads the FWC's imperiled species management section. "Boaters should slow down where manatees like to congregate, such as seagrass beds and warm-water sites."
How to spot Florida's official marine mammal?
Boaters and personal watercraft operators should scan the water near or in front of their vessels and look for signs that manatees are close by, including repetitive swirl patterns called a manatee footprint, a mud trail, or a snout or fluke (tail) breaking the water's surface.
Here are some other steps boaters and personal watercraft operators can take to help manatees migrate safely:
• Keep vessels in marked channels
• Wear polarized sunglasses to improve your vision
• Obey posted boat speed zones
• Use poles, paddles or trolling motors when close to manatees
• Have someone help scan the water when under way
Besides following manatee-safety recommendations, people can help manatees survive by reporting sick, distressed, injured, orphaned or entangled manatees to the FWC's Wildlife Alert hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or text firstname.lastname@example.com. Florida residents also can call #FWC or *FWC via cell phone.
Manatee conservation is supported by Floridians who purchase the state's manatee license plate. Funds from this specialty tag go directly to manatee research and conservation.
Copies of complete individual county waterway rules are available at flrules.org. Visit MyFWC.com/Manatee or call the FWC at (850) 922-4330 for more information.
Below are the manatee winter waterway speed zone changes for Lee County:
Nov. 15 to March 31
• No entry – Discharge and intake canals of the Florida Power & Light Tice Power Plant
• Idle speed and slow speed – Portions of the Intracoastal Waterway channel on the Caloosahatchee River in the vicinity of the Tice Power Plant
• 25 mph – Portions of Estero Bay, Hurricane Bay, Hell Peckney Bay and Hendry Creek
• Seasonally unregulated – Cayo Costa, North Captiva, Captiva and St. James City areas.
Copies of complete individual county waterway rules for protection zones are available at flrules.org, or visit MyFWC.com/Manatee, or call the FWC at (850) 922-4330.
