Dear Friends,
Thank you for visiting my campaign website. It is an honor to be running for re-election to a second term in office representing California's 7th Senate District in 2012. As your State Senator, I've worked hard to represent our values in Sacramento.
As Chair of the Assembly and now the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee we were instrumental in initiating the work on the Highway 4 and E-BART expansion in East Contra Costa; drilling on the 4th Bore of the Caldecott tunnel; and the desperately needed repaving improvements along the 680 corridor. Moving people efficiently on our roads and highways equates to greater productivity and quality time for home and loved ones.
One of my main focuses in office has been to reform state government. As Chair of both the Senate Select Committee on Constitutional Reform and Senate Select Committee on Improving State Government, I held hearings throughout the state to analyze various reform principles including multi-year budgeting, performance based budgeting, and initiative reform. As a result of this work, I introduced and the Governor signed SB 15 requiring the state to implement a two-year budget process.
I worked aggressively to try to reach a compromise on Redevelopment and to preserve funding for affordable housing. I also reached out to our local Mayors and established regular meetings with their leadership and our state elected delegation in order to address local government's concerns regarding the budget and other proposed legislation.
As Chair of the Budget Committee on Health and Human Services, I held hours of hearings to understand how this year's proposed budget cuts would affect our social safety net and made thoughtful recommendations to minimize the impacts of these cuts to our most vulnerable communities. This Committee will position me to work on California's Health Care Exchange and move us closer to universal health care.
The cornerstone of our district office operations has been accessibility and providing the highest standard of constituent service. Each month I hold mobile office hours in a different town or city in the district so that I have an opportunity to meet one on one with constituents. I hear firsthand how the downturn in our economy has affected people's lives and how legislation or regulation impacts their life or business. I also hold regular Town Hall meetings on state governance and our budget process because I believe it's important for residents to understand how their government works and what they can do to fix it. My district office is always available to help constituents resolve problems with government agencies or other institutions. They have been particularly successful at helping homeowners work with their banks to avoid foreclosure.
Three years into my first term I'm pleased to have successfully authored 35 bills. I have co-authored another 66 bills that were signed into law as well. I am very proud of the work I have accomplished.
We need serious solutions in these challenging economic times. I am committed to continuing our work on state government reforms so that California's legacy is restored. We face a defining moment in our state's history - working together we will make the difficult choices that lie ahead and define what we value as Californians.
I would be honored to have your support.
Always proud to serve,
Mark DeSaulnier

American cinephiles rejoice: this weekend the Coen brothers grace us with their 16th feature-length film, Inside Llewyn Davis.
And by all accounts, it promises to be another Coen-riffic masterpiece to add to their already iconic oeuvre—one that gets re-dissected every time a new film pops up. But here's one thing critics have managed to overlook: the on-screen style. It varies as much as the genres they've tackled and warrants as serious consideration as any other facet of their distinctive storytelling. Naturally, we're correcting that oversight with:

Typically, you have your legend, including their stature, their ego, their following, their mystique and then you have what they actually manage to drop on the dance floor that evening. Overwhelmingly so, the latter is a big let down when compared to the former.
Not so on Saturday Night @ Humble.
I've spoken my piece on this forum on an occasion when I thought that Tony wasn't bringing it with the smoke of days past, but on Saturday night, what Tony dropped on the dance floor was nothing short of amazing. He was an unstoppable force. Tony was a goddamn hurricane. He's the reason that I play House Music and he gave me a real kick-in-the-ass reminder of that on Saturday night.
What stood out to me right away was his selection. Each pick was in such beautiful, relevant context. His program was urgent and moving, yet warm and comfortable. There were flashes of deep minimal stuff, then churchy anthem, then deep, complex swirly instrumental, then sweet melody.
Then there were the classics. "Brother's Gonna Work it Out" by Wille Hutch and "Whistle Bump" by Deodato to name a couple. Hearing Tony play these songs how and when he played them made them that much more special.
Tony even hung out afterwards and just kicked it about playing songs, making songs and selling songs from a global perspective as opposed to a local one. Very enlightening. Where was Yorel w/the video for that?!? LOL
Anyway, I just wanna thank Tony for a magical evening.
Thanks, Tony, for a magical evening!

Supreme Court police said eleven people were arrested in the demonstration and a twelfth was later arrested inside the court. That man, Scott Fitzgerald, was reportedly already wearing the jacket that said "Occupy Everything" when he went through security upon entering the court and was not attempting to be disruptive.
On October 16, Dr. Cornel West was arrested along with eighteen others for demonstrating on the Supreme Court steps.

I haven't been here for awhile. Dealing with alot. First off, my AH has been diagnosed with Hep C. (he said he got it from sitting on a dirty needle)...cause he is NOT an IV drug user. A few weeks after that....he admitted to using needles. So, now I am waiting for my Hep C and HIV bloodwork to come back. I didn't realize how easy it is for him to lie to my face (and for me to still take him at face value).
He is currently on a binge....not sure when he will come home. Not sure if he is even alive right now...but I hope beyond hope that he is.
I am not doing well...I looked at myself in the mirror and I have lost sooo much weight, I look ill. I have not been able to eat or drink due to the stress over the past few weeks, but especially since Wed when he finally came clean with the needle usage. I didn't go to work today and I am sleeping all the time. I am pulling away from everyone.
I have made the decision that once he comes home, I am going to tell him that I need space...he needs to stay somewhere else for awhile, while I get myself together physically and emotionally. I just hope I have the strength to do it when he shows up.
I feel so alone and not strong at all. Thanks for listening.

Good day! Ever since I offered up a sell signal on gold at the beginning of December we've been seeing this commodity struggle. Despite an attempt later that month to retest those highs, the gold bulls have failed to keep the momentum going and this month has seen the commodity not only break the 50-day moving average that had held it since August, but the 100-day sma as well. That selloff increased on Thursday with the downside momentum gaining and the commodity ending the session at lows.
By the close of the Comex division on the New York Mercantile Exchange gold for February delivery had fallen $14.60 an ounce and settled at $1,318.40. Back in December it had reached a high of $1,434 an ounce.
Furthermore, the selloff doesn't appear to be over. In addition to breaking strong daily support levels, gold is testing the lower end of its weekly uptrend channel and has already busted the 20-week sma that has held since the start of 2009. While we'll certainly see some intraday corrections on the upside, continue to use caution. For those tracking the short side: Very nice job and watch for the 200-day moving average as the next level of upcoming support.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
Oil is another commodity we've seen a lot of struggle in. I started watching this once back in mid-2010 for further selling, but the price action remained mixed and stuck in a gradual uptrend since May. Since the middle of this month, however, we've started to see more of that underlying weakness come to the surface. Oil struggled 8-month highs throughout the second half of December and into January before finally breaking down sharply on January 20th. This recent bout of selling took oil to its 100-day and 200-day moving average zone, which it's testing this week. The current price action suggests that further selling over the next several months is a strong probability. Watch for a few weeks of reaction off support levels, but this should just offer another sell opportunity for swingtraders.
The price action for the overall market this week has been very choppy following Wednesday's FOMC announcement. Despite a slow trend to the upside and even higher highs on the year for the Dow Jones Ind. Ave. and S&P 500, the market has struggled. We've seen a lot of intraday back-and-forth and even a lack of decent intraday swings over the past two days. This should widen up here into next week, but the bulls are definitely fighting to hang on and simply aren't willing to give up the reins just yet.
Even though the overall market has been a mess, earnings seasons has assured day traders of ample opportunities elsewhere. This is making individual stocks preferred over the index futures as the place to be recently. Amazon.com (AMZN) was one of the big ones to release on Thursday evening. It missed revenue expectations and was down sharply afterhours. A great way to help narrow down the field is to check for the premarket gainers and losers, focusing upon the ones whose gaps are less than twice an average day's range. These will often have strong intraday trend moves and give you a short, but accurate focus list to kick off the day.
In other news on Thursday, the economic data was as mixed as the market. December's durable goods orders fell 2.5%. Initial jobless claims for last week hit a three-month high of 454,000... higher than anticipated. Continuing claims were up from 3.9 million to 3.99 million. Pending home sales, however, rose 2.0% when a decline of 0.5% had been expected.
Nasdaq 100
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) had a gain of 4.39 points, or 0.04%, and closed at 11,989.83 on Thursday. Two-thirds of the Dow's thirty index components posted a gain on the session. The top performers were General Electric (GE) (+1.81%), Home Depot (HD) (+1.50%), United Technologies (UTX) (+1.45%), and Caterpillar (CAT) (+0.92%). The weakest performer was Procter & Gamble (PG). It fell 2.92%. It was followed by losses in AT&T (T) (-2.09%), Kraft Foods (KFT) (-1.58%), and McDonalds (MCD) (-1.09%).
The S&P 500 ($SPX) rose 2.91 points or 0.22%, and closed at 1,299.54. Netflix (NFLX) broke to new highs following earnings with a gain of 15.21%. Teradyne Inc. (TER) also posted double digit gains, popping 11.76% out of a multi-month trading range. Helmerich & Payne (HP) (+9.52%) and Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) rounded off the top four. The weakest performer in the S&P 500 on Thursday was Motorola Mobility Holdings (MMI) (-12.40%). Murphy Oil (MUR) (-10.23%), Robert Half Intl. (RHI) (-6.32%), and Consol Energy (-5.96%) were the other top percentage decliners.
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session higher by 15.78 points, or 0.58%, on Thursday and it closed at 2,755.28. Netflix (NFLX) (+15.21%) was also the Nasdaq-100's top gainer. It was followed by Micron Technology (MU) (+6.43%), Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) (+5.86%), and Amazon.com (AMZN) (+5.17%). Lam Research (LRCX) (-4.18%), Ctrip.com (CTRP) (-3.10%), Dell Inc. (DELL) (-2.40%), and Celgene Corp. (CELG) (-2.38%) were the Nasdaq-100's biggest percentage losers.

The Berlin based techno label was started in July 1991 by Dimitri Hegemann, taking its name from the techno club set up in an underground vault following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Tresor has achieved somewhat legendary status through being the first - and in some cases only - European label to publish music by the likes of Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Drexciya or Blake Baxter. Both label and club contributed significantly to the popularity of Detroit techno in the early 90s, whereas from the mid 90s on more and more British producers like Cristian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm or Matthew Herbert were signed to the label. In 2005, after 14 banging years, the Tresor club was forced to close at its original location, making room for a high-rise insurance building. Two years of dedicated parties in various Berlin locations followed, until the Tresor reopened in 2007 in a former power plant in central Berlin. The club's and label's mission has thereby remained unchanged in representing the true sound of techno, from Detroit and beyond.

Jackett: I want to keep Trotter at Den
12:40pm Thursday 5th July 2012 in Sport By Paul Green
MANAGER Kenny Jackett has reiterated Millwall's determination to keep hold of Liam Trotter despite speculation linking the midfielder with Southampton.
The 23-year-old has been a big hit at The Den since his arrival from Ipswich and his eye catching displays have reportedly alerted several Premier League sides.
Newly-promoted Saints have been the mostly strongly linked over the close season but Jackett says the stories have no foundation as far as he is concerned.
He said: "We definitely want to keep hold of him.
"I have seen the speculation in the papers and I've also got to say we've had no enquiry or bid from Southampton, nor would we necessarily encourage any because Liam is central to what we are trying to do.
"It shows we are doing something right when our players are linked with other teams but there is a big jump between speculation in the papers and it actually happening.
"Speculation is something which is there all of the time but he is our player."
Millwall are currently in negotiations with Trotter about a potential contract extension, as well as midfield partner Jimmy Abdou and skipper Paul Robinson.
Jackett was reluctant to be drawn on how those talks were going when pressed but did praise defender Jack Smith after he agreed a new deal which will keep him at The Den until 2014.
The boss said: "We are pleased Jack Smith has settled down and he deserves it.
"Jack has shown a good standard of performance since he has been at the club, has improved and I think still has some improvement in him.
"I definitely think for Jack Smith his best years are ahead of him.
"He is set up now to be a very good Championship player in the next few years and play his best football, so I'm very pleased he has signed the new deal.
"In terms of other players and their contracts it is my policy to only talk on that once things are settled because ongoing talks and discussions about people's futures are exactly that – ongoing.
"It is pretty much a constant thing where you do have meetings with players on a regular basis to sum up where they are and exactly what their situation is."
Jackett also explained the summer changes behind the scenes which have seen the likes of Richard Shaw and Tony Burns moved on, with Tim Breacker given a more prominent role at the club and Kevin Pressman coming in to replace Burns as goalkeeping coach.
"Tim was with us anyway working as a scout and a match analyst," the manager said.
"He will now work a little bit closer than he had been and will perhaps be around our games a little bit more than he was.
"A lot of his work had been scouting and watching the next opposition, now he will be at our games.
"Towards the end of last season he was at our games a lot more."
Jackett added: "There is always a time for people to move on and for us to get some fresh people, some fresh ideas and some hunger and enthusiasm about our staff, which is very important and what I'm looking for.
"There are always certain individual situations which have to remain personal and private, but from my point of view, we've taken on a new goalkeeping coach in Kevin and Tim was working for me anyway."

Southern California fires fade as weather turns
October 7, 2013 @ 8:31 pm
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) - A nearly 4-square-mile wildfire on the Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton was reduced to smoldering Monday as hot, dry Santa Ana winds faded and a cooling trend began as a storm approached.
About 230 residents return to housing near Lake O'Neil on Sunday evening, base officials said in a statement. Some 30 patients removed from a base hospital were returned.
Sixty-seven percent of the burn area was surrounded and full containment was expected Tuesday.
The fire broke out Saturday as gusty Santa Anas, spawned by high pressure over the West, brought heat and very low humidity levels to parts of Southern California.
About 40 miles to the north, a fire in a mulch pile at a nursery near Santiago Canyon in Orange County prompted the evacuation of 23 residents Sunday.
The fire was not threatening homes and an RV park in the area, but residents were asked to leave because of heavy smoke and in case a spot fire was ignited, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
The blaze burned an outbuilding and about 50 acres of surrounding wild vegetation. One firefighter suffered a minor injury. The fire was 80 percent contained Monday and full containment was expected Wednesday.
The National Weather Service said a cooling trend was beginning as high pressure moved east and a low-pressure system sagged slowly down the coast. Cloudy and unseasonably cool weather with a chance of showers and mountain snow showers was expected by Wednesday, forecasters said.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner Tom Yeager said Monday night that he has not been contacted by Virginia Commonwealth University or the Atlantic 10 with any news that the Rams are switching conferences.
VCU has acknowledged considering a change in conference affiliation, but Yeager told The Associated Press from New York City he would think it incumbent on VCU or the Atlantic 10 to call to tell him that a change was coming.
``I presume that would be the protocol,'' he said.
Pamela D. Lepley, VCU's executive director of university relations, said in a text message to the AP on Monday there was ``nothing new to say.''
School President Michael Rao and his top advisor did not return phone messages.
Yeager said if the Rams do leave, but remain in the CAA for one more year, league bylaws state they would not be eligible for the conference tournament and would forfeit as much as $5 million in shares due them over the next six years for victories in the NCAA tournament. They also would be leaving a conference that plays its tournament about a mile from VCU's home arena.
George Mason and Old Dominion also have acknowledged considering changing leagues. But George Mason announced Friday that its decided to stay in the CAA. Old Dominion, which is considering moving to Conference USA, has made no announcement of its decision and officials have said they would have no additional comment until a decision has been made.

Everybody could use a little Rehab… but that doesn't mean what you think it does.
Now in its 10th season, the infamously rowdy Rehab pool party at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino remains one of the best and biggest Vegas pool club experiences you could ask for.
First off, the sprawling Paradise Beach complex where Rehab and HRH's other pool parties -- such as Nectar Saturdays -- take place is a tropical oasis in the middle of the desert. That alone should get you excited, but then you have the wild party vibe made famous in three seasons of TruTV's "Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel," which sweetens the deal.
The big attraction, of course, is the main pool, where you and what must be hundreds your new closest friends can dance and party while some of the best DJs spin an amped-up mix of pop, hip-hop, Top 40 and more.
Nearby, a water slide drops you into a more secluded pool area, while the main bar offers a little break from the sun.
This bar seems like something out of a grown-up theme park, as it looks like it's carved out of the scenery at Rehab and is themed with some exotic tropical stylings. There are also swim-up blackjack tables here, if that's your thing.
Drinks options are plentiful and though the prices tend to run a little more than average on the Strip, they are quite strong and you do get a sweet Rehab cup to refill and take home.
There's a nice bonus when you get into Rehab: Your admission also gets you access to the Hard Rock's Nirvana Pool and Breathe Pool, so you can take a little bit of a break from the nonstop party and enjoy those amenities too. Both are a bit more chill than Rehab, so if you want to cool your jets a bit and recharge, go for it.
When it comes to the VIP treatment, multiple levels of cabanas are available, with different levels of seclusion and views of the pool area. The Paradise Beach is huge and almost intimidatingly massive, but there are cabanas and lounge chairs near the main pool, the second beach-style pool and the river that runs from the second pool. Even more cabanas, located near the area that divides Rehab from the other HRH pools, overlook all the action.
HRH really did it with this one: Rehab is now a place you want to get into, rather than one you want to stay out of.

The New Orleans Saints would be high on the target list for Cowboys free-agent linebacker Victor Butler if Butler leaves his Thursday visit with Pittsburgh without a contract, according to a source. The problem for the Saints is Butler may not leave Pittsburgh as the Steelers are pushing hard to land the 25-year-old linebacker. New Orleans just agreed to terms with former Steelers cornerback Keenan Lewis on Thursday, but the hefty contract is salary-cap friendly this season as Lewis' cap number will only be $2.2 million. This means the Saints left themselves some wiggle room to acquire another free-agent piece. The Saints are certainly looking for outside linebackers for their new 3-4 defensive scheme and Butler would fit the bill. Butler played under Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan the last two seasons in Dallas and would have a firm grasp of the system in New Orleans. New Orleans was willing to spend money on linebacker Paul Kruger as the Saints finished runner-up to Cleveland to sign one of the top free-agent pass rushers.

Unfortunately, most states rely almost exclusively on historical data to estimate the frequency and severity of future natural disasters when planning for future natural disasters.

Climate disruption is already changing precipitation patterns, causing sea levels to rise, and increasing the possibility of weather extremes, which means that floods, droughts, wildfires, and major storms are likely to be more frequent or severe than they were in the past.

While officials in Florida have been preparing for hurricane season for months including simulating what impact a storm like -- would have on the -- is right now is the director of Florida's division of emergency management -- Kuhn.
Welcome Brian.
Good morning.
Brian first off the convention center itself is that a safe place to be and should this thing kicked him.
Oh yes the at a convention center and the Tampa Bay times -- or are extremely well built.
Buildings so our delegates.
The delegates that are down there for the convention are going to be well protecting.
Let's talk about what some of the problems could be -- for the Tampa area because.
It wouldn't it be storm surge that would be that the main thing that you would be concerned about.
We are concerned with storm surge and we've been talking very closely.
With the National Hurricane Center as well as the -- in the local National Weather Service offices.
Any emergency management officials down there though.
We've got a pretty good idea of what that storm surge is going to look like we've analyzed the impact -- the impact could be -- beachfront hotels where many of the visitors world will be staying we've taken a look at the impact to the bridges -- the roads there.
We think that it's going to be at a level that it's not going to have a significant impact right now we may see a few roads get over top with water a little bit we may see some.
Beach in issues on the beach but I think we're going to be OK at this point.
With the storm -- we're concerned with with wins is going to be.
Gusty winds sustained winds in a tropical storm force area I had a forty mile an hour range and -- also be a fair amount of rain three to six inches of rain.
As the storm passes that way which could lead to some thoughts on some flights of some road flooding into some river -- so those are the issues we're looking at the Tampa Bay Area.
And I know you have tested the emergency preparedness system down there in the Tampa Bay Area for a year and a half say.
You know you've been -- -- for this but with interest here is and we had a graphic on this program on Friday.
That the Tampa Bay Area is more vulnerable.
To storm surge and hurricanes -- even.
The extraordinarily.
New Orleans and it has to do with the way the bay is laid out right.
That's correct all that water can cop pile up in the north end of Tampa Bay there -- the water and weighs just continue to push -- -- -- -- so -- a larger storm if you get a storm coming in there.
The right intensity with the right track you could have some very significant storm surge in the Tampa Bay Area luckily this storm does not appear to be one of those that helped generate.
That level of like.
And Brent real quick what are you hearing when do you think it's going to hit Tampa if at all.
The latest thing we have we anticipate that they're going to start getting tropical storm force winds.
Late tonight in the overnight hours.
And that most of the day tomorrow there will be yet again tropical storm force winds and the forty mile an hour range with some heavier gusts.
But by the time everybody wakes up on Tuesday morning the storm is going to be some subsiding.
And Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday were lined up for some pretty good weather down there so as long as we get through Monday.
The rest of the week should be pretty sore right -- -- the director of the Florida division of emergency management thanks much for your time and silicon -- their --

Music review: Sarasota Opera Opening: 'Cavalleria rusticana' and 'Pagliacci'
Date: February 10, 2010
by: June LeBell | Music critic
The Sarasota Opera opened its 2010 season this past weekend with the most paired of operas, Mascagni's "Cavalleria rusticana" and Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci." These two have been put on the same program for so long, by so many opera companies, that some people have thought Mascagni and Leoncavallo must have made some kind of deal that they be performed together in perpetuity. Of course, this is not the case.
It happens that they're both reasonably short operas (60 to 75 minutes each); they each take place in Italy on a holiday ("Cavalleria" in a Sicilian village on Easter morning and "Pagliacci" in Calabria on the Feast of the Assumption); they are both in the "Verismo" (realism) style; they were written and premiered within two years of each other ("Cavalleria" in 1890 and "Pagliacci" in 1892); they both contain gorgeous music; and they're both filled with passion, fire and so much Italian sturm und drang, you wonder how the singers can get through the plots without, well, plotzing.
But there's a difference between them, too.
Leoncavallo based "Pagliacci" on the highly believable (true) story of an actor (Canio/Pagliaccio), who killed his actress wife (Nedda) on stage because she fell in love with someone else (Silvio). But Mascagni's "Cavalleria" is, especially in today's culture, a much less believable story, centering around a man (Turiddu) who was once in love with a woman (Lola), but Lola married while Turiddu was away. Heartbroken, Turiddu turns to Santuzza, promises to marry her and, then, cheats on her with Lola, causing Santuzza to lose her honor and become excommunicated from the church. It gets worse. Alfio, Lola's husband, finds out about the affair and kills Turiddu.
Both of these stories are set to heart-wrenching, ear-ringing music, but it's "Pagliacci" that wins, hands down, as the better opera — musically and dramatically.
It also won as the better performance at the Sarasota Opera, which was something of a mystery, because both operas featured many of the same singers.
Things started to go south almost immediately in "Cavalleria rusticana," because, perhaps in their opening-night zeal, everyone on stage was oversinging to the point that nuance (not that there is much in this opera) was thrown to the wind. It started with Kara Shay Thomson's highly charged portrait of Santuzza. This soprano — whom we heard last year in the title role of Sarasota Opera's production of "Tosca" and whom we praised, writing, " … there wasn't a moment in the evening when Thomson came even close to oversinging or pushing" — amped up her ample voice so much this time around, she almost drowned out the orchestra. She's too good a singer to do this.
Gustavo López Manzitti followed suit as a voluble but well-paced Turiddu; studio artists Cathleen Candia's rather pallid Mamma Lucia and Stephanie Lauricella's well-acted Lola both dangerously stretched their vocal limits; and Michael Corvino, as Alfio was so stiff and strident, we didn't recognize this well-known Sarasota Opera presence.
Then the sun came out as the curtain rose on "Pagliacci." Here, Corvino turned into a deviously believable Tonio, sounding so much better in the prologue that we thought he'd had a voice transplant. Manzitti, too, underwent a magical transformation, and his "Vesti la giubba" was both heartrending and beautifully performed.
Other members of the cast included Evan Brummel (Silvio) and Heath Huberg (Peppe), both studio artists and both good actors and lovely singers. And Aundi Marie Moore, in the role of Nedda, pretty much stole the show as a believable, beloved actress with a gorgeous voice to match.
The Sarasota Opera Orchestra, under the direction of Victor DeRenzi, played with style and beauty in both operas, and the always excellent chorus, while a little too raucous in "Cavalleria," was perfect in "Pagliacci."
David Gordon deserves extra bows for his stunning sets, especially the sun-streaked skies in both operas; costume designer Howard Tsvi Kaplan's realistic garments were more appreciated in "Pagliacci" than "Cavalleria"; and Ken Yunker's lighting was a shining example of perfection in both sets.
It's a puzzlement how the same person, Stephanie Sundine, the stage director, is responsible for the impressive staging and acting in "Pagliacci" could have made "Cavalleria" so stodgy and static. But we can't heap blame where it doesn't belong. The composer and librettists of that melodrama were the real perpetrators. Sundine simply did the best she could.

Memorial Day is the day we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Those, who paid for our freedom with their lives. On Veterans Day, we honor those courageous men and women, willing to give all, who have stepped up when called, who have served our nation, protected our freedom, and returned home to their families, as Ronald Reagan said, "Champions of a noble cause."

The house and yard should work together in terms of style, scale, colors and materials. Use trees to frame a house, not conceal it or overwhelm it. Shrubs and flowers should form a welcoming approach to your home's entrance. Create foundation plantings that are more than just a line of shrubs around the house -- try varying levels of plants, deep borders and curves.

A man of few words, Leonard allows actions to do the talking at start of third year
AT&T CENTER – With 1:16 remaining in the second quarter as the San Antonio Spurs were leading the Memphis Grizzlies by 19 points, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili grabbed a rebound and threw a pass down the court to an open Kawhi Leonard for a one-handed slam dunk that brought the AT&T Center to its feet.
Asked after the game Wednesday how the dunk felt, Leonard said, "It felt like any other dunk, it wasn't anything special."
On paper that almost sounds like a sarcastic answer, however as Leonard has begun his third season with the Spurs, folks in the city of San Antonio know that Leonard really isn't a player with many words, instead he allows his play in games to speak for himself.
no commentsGinobili 'really angry' when Spurs traded for Kawhi Leonard
Like most San Antonio Spurs fans, when news came out on NBA Draft night 2011 the team was trading fan favorite George Hill for Kawhi Leonard, an unproven player, it did not go over very well.
Hill brought excitement, defense, scoring to the team and was not afraid to get in the face of Kobe Bryant. Leonard, on the other hand, was unproven and a relative unknown. He had big hands and that was all most knew of him.
But it seems that it wasn't just Spurs fans who did not like to see Hill be traded for Leonard. Manu Ginobili also did not like the trade and admits, it made him "angry."
no commentsSan Antonio Spurs 101, Memphis Grizzlies 94: Spurs pick up where they dropped Grizzlies off
AT&T CENTER--For a team as seasoned as the San Antonio Spurs, a season opener is everything and nothing all at once. A shortened summer is not, perhaps, enough time to heal all wounds; but it's enough to mend beaten bodies and approach yet another year with a renewed and fresh perspective.
The heartache and bruises of an 82-game season and extended playoff run have faded, but the knowledge accumulated over the course of the Spurs' Finals run remain intact, creating something to continue building off of.
"We've benefited from corporate knowledge for a while, and a lot of that has to do with continuity," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Trying to keep player in place and not having to do too many trades, not having to do too many signings. Just important ones that fit in. Timmy, Manu, and Tony have been special in that regard. We've been able to put people around them. Continuity allows us so be pretty consistent."
no commentsBefore Tip-Off: Spurs and Grizzlies both awaiting start of season
AT&T CENTER – The San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies last met a few months ago back in May during the Western Conference Finals. Then, the Spurs swept Memphis in four games as the Grizzlies offense could not keep pace with the Spurs' run-and-gun style of play.
The Spurs, like last season, will start with the same lineup that finished the end of last season: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, and Tiago Splitter according to head coach Gregg Popovich in his pregame press conference.
Also of note, last week the Spurs' new military-inspired uniforms gained a lot of attention. However, for the opening tip, the team will wear the alternate silver jerseys that were used from last season.

no commentsHouston Chronicle, Cleveland Plain Dealer Give Respect To Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs' quest for their fifth title begins tonight as they open up their season against the Memphis Grizzlies. Of course, before all of this began, there were changes in the offseason. San Antonio made minimal changes to their roster as they signed Marco Belinelli and Jeff Ayres. The coaching staff, many know by now, has some new faces in different places.
With the start of the season looming, there are always your usual division outlooks and whom many feel will reign supreme in their respective divisions. With the San Antonio Spurs returning pretty much their whole team that were just moments, moments away from their fifth title, some have to believe that they are primed to make it back to the Finals.
no comments5 things to watch: Spurs vs. Grizzlies
The San Antonio Spurs (0-0) will kick off their season opener tonight in San Antonio as they host the Memphis Grizzlies (0-0).
The Spurs will be looking for redemption this new season after losing in the NBA Finals in Game 7 to the Heat. With new additions such as Marco Belinelli, and Jeff Ayres, the Spurs will look to once again capture title No. 5.
The Grizzlies remained relatively in tact only adding former player Mike Miller, Kosta Koufos from Denver and Nick Calathes. Memphis still boasts a formidable duo in the paint - Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph - and guard Mike Conley rounds out the team's core. New head coach Dave Joerger will do what it takes to ensure Memphis remains one of the best in the West.
And as the Spurs take their first steps back to the NBA Finals, here are five things to watch for during tonight's game.
• Tony Parker averaged a team-best 25.5 points versus Memphis last season.

As the 2013 NBA kicks off there is a sense of urgency among the San Antonio Spurs and their fan base to get the bad taste from last season's NBA Finals out of their collective mouths.

Today, we shall take a moment to journey away from the court, and a take a different look at where the Spurs stand on the NBA landscape.

The San Antonio Spurs' 2013-14 home opener is today, which is fun. Related: Bold predictions are fun especially, like, 21 of them!
Disclaimer: These bold predictions range from predictable to WHAT THE HELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU #idiot. You were warned. These predictions don't reflect my thoughts, unless I'm right and you're wrong. Happy basketball everyone. Watch safely.
1. Kawhi Leonard will average 2.5 steals per game.
Kawhi averaged 1.9 steals per game last season, so this a bit of a stretch. But, hear me out. Leonard will presumably assume a larger offensive and defensive role this season, and an uptick in minutes will increase his raw production, which is what I'm banking on here -- or something. Leonard corralled 14 steals in the NBA Finals, appropriating his regular season average, and there is room for growth as he steadily grasps the nuances of basketball, when to stab at the opponents dribble, when to crash the passing lane, how to deceive the ball handler and when to use his laser heat vision to detect weakness. Plus, his arms are long, which seems like it would be an advantage. For what it's worth: 2.5 steals per game would be the 26th highest single season mark since the 1990-91 season.

Britain's AAA Credit Rating Lost
George Osborne is coming under pressure over what Labour calls his "catastrophic economic policy failure" after the UK lost its top-grade AAA credit rating.
International agency Moody's downgraded it by one notch to AA1, citing slow growth and a rising debt burden.
The Chancellor said it was a "stark reminder" of the country's debt problems, but said the coalition was determined to stick by its plan for economic recovery.
In the last election, Ms Osborne made safeguarding Britain's top credit rating one of his key pledges.
And he has used maintaining the rating for government bonds as one of the main arguments for the Government's austerity programme.
The downgrade is a major blow for Mr Osborne, who has been coming under increasing pressure to take action to stimulate the economy.
He said: "We have a stark reminder of the debt problems facing our country - and the clearest possible warning to anyone who thinks we can run away from dealing with those problems.
"We are not going to run away from our problems, we are going to overcome them."
Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls told Sky News: "They (the Government) are paying the price for an absolute catastrophic failure of economic policy and everybody can see that now pretty much other than the chancellor and the prime minister.....Read more

In Celebration of the National Kidney Foundation
Dear Editor,
Monday is a special birthday. The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) was founded on November 15, 1950 by the parents of a toddler stricken with what was then called nephrosis. It was incurable. In 1950 if your kidneys failed, you died. NKF was there in the early days to support patients and their families. Over the past sixty years, there has been a revolution in treatment and detection. Kidney failure became treatable with the advent of the first successful kidney transplant in 1954. This was followed by the invention of the Teflon shunt in 1964 that made access to a patient's blood possible and dialysis that performs the kidney's job of cleaning the blood became routine. Today, 565,000 Americans with kidney failure live, work, and enjoy life because of these life-saving treatments. Scientists have learned that kidney disease is progressive so detection and medical intervention can start early, well before kidneys fail. 26 million people, many with diabetes or high blood pressure, have kidney disease. The NKF now educates about kidney health and provides free screenings for thousands at risk for kidney disease through our Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP). So celebrate the foundation's birthday. "Love Your Kidneys" by getting checked for kidney disease and donating at kidney.org/60 to help the lifesaving work continue. Sincerely, Amy Capistran Living Kidney Donor Richmond, VA |

Drifter MVP088
A tale of love, wanderlust, and everything that comes with leaving the "safe" world of rural domestic happiness for the heat and energy of a slightly dark City of Angels.
Featuring the combined talents of Arpad Miklos, Trey Casteel, Chad Hunt, CJ Madison, Brett Matthews, Steve Cruz, Ken Browning, and newcomer Sergio Anthony, Drifter is a sexually intense journey of longing, loss, and betrayal on the scorching streets of L.A. and in the line-dried sweetness of the sticks.
Directed by Chad Donovan
Scene 1
Scene 2
Scene 3
In his heightened sexual state Ken becomes easy prey for the wanton leather desires of Chad Hunt and Steve Cruz. These hard studs pull Ken in and make him submit to every inch of their lust in a sizzling scene of domination and leather. Chad and Steve work Ken over good before tossing him back onto the boulevard.
Scene 4
Back on the homestead, Ken watches as Arpad Miklos and Brett Mathews exploit every inch of Sergio's lovelorn form. The three studs suck rim and fuck with abandon...stretching boundaries and probing every inch of their combined forms. Ken watches and winces at the sordid scene he's molded as a drifter.
