BSA's students presented Balanchine's Serenade, Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, and other works in A Russian Serenade. This year's festival culminated a year-long look at Russian art and history in both academics and arts classes.
Chekhov's Three Sisters, was directed by Donald Hicken and presented by BSA's senior acting ensemble.
Serenade featured BSA's dancers and musicians was presented Wednesday, April 9 at 5pm and Thursday, April 10 at 7pm.
Serenade was choreographed by Deborah Wingert of the Balanchine Trust. BSA alum Andrew Grams conducted the musicians performing with the dancers. The program on the 9th and 10th also featured orchestral and choral works by Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, and Tavener.
Student academic and visual arts projects were also featured in the Sylvan Gallery and Nehra Theatre Wing.
For a video recap, click here.
Students got right in the spirit with a visit the first week of school to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC to see Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, 1909–1929: When Art Danced with Music. They've since visited the Bakst Theater at the Evergreen Museum and, of course, presented Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.
We're grateful to our sponsors BGE; Greenberg Traurig LLP; the Ro and Marius P. Johnson Charitable Legacy; Carol Carter and the Pierians, Baltimore Chapter; Linda Weinberg; and Diane Vuocolo for making this event possible!
Baltimore Magazine selected our first multi-disciplinary project, Appalachian Spring, as one of the best events of 2013! B-mag writer John Lewis reviewed the festival in April and summed it up for the "best of" issue. http://www.baltimoremagazine.net/arts/2013/08/best-of-baltimore-arts
The iconic ballet Appalachian Spring by Martha Graham, Aaron Copland & Isamu Noguchi was brought to life by BSA musicians, dancers and actors in performances in April. Students shone in the first ever high school production of the classic. They trained and prepared with Miki Orihara, Regisseur with the Martha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance, and Aaron Sherber, Music Director of the Martha Graham Dance Company. Brian Floca, illustrator of the children's book, Ballet for Martha, also joined the festivities. An exhibit featuring student work based on the ballet and the 1940's rounded out the event.
City Schools did a wonderful summation of the event:

An Overview of Deep Capture [WE ARE THE RED PILL]…#VIP ~jude
Deep Capture Posted on 24 January 2008
An Overview of Deep Capture
My argument has been widely misreported since I began making it in 2005. Therefore I am stating it here as nine straightforward claims that will be difficult to misunderstand or misconstrue. I have grouped them into those describing the setting, the crime, and the cover-up.
Chapters 1-3: The Setting
Chapter 1 – The Players
Over the last twenty years Wall Street has come to be dominated by a group of players who first pushed the laws to their limits, then openly flouted them until they became blurred beyond the possibility of enforcement.
Chapter 2 – The Journalists Tried to Be Players But Became Pawns
Over the last fifteen years the standards of professional journalism have been eroded by a group of reporters who have tried to appear as players, but have become pawns. A significant fraction of the financial journalists on the hedge fund beat have become shills of a handful of hedge funds.
Chapter 3 – Our Captured Federal Regulator The SEC
The Securities & Exchange Commission, regulator of our nation's capital markets, has been captured by financial elites to the point that it favors Wall Street over Main Street.

A local Panama City Beach girl is following her dreams of becoming a Nashville singer and songwriter.
Keely Raquel graduated from Arnold High School in 2008, packed her bags and has not looked back.
"I think I've always been a songwriter, but when I was younger I didn't realize I was," said Raquel. "I'd write stories and poems and sing in my head. In high school I realized I'm a songwriter and a singer."
During her senior year she began making trips to Nashville, where she met her duo partner, Analeise Reeves.
"Ever since we joined forced and became a duo things have just been at a steady pace, going great. I'm really excited and grateful."
Their band, The Field Larks, performs regularly on the Nashville scene.
And they have had success with one song, "The Light Weight", which Bethenny Frankle released on the Skinny Girl Margarita's website, www.betenny.com.
"My goal is to do it all-play at the Bluebird Cafe, The Opry, get a record deal for The Field Larks, and play on your radio station in Panama City."
You can download "The Light Weight" on iTunes, or go to The Field Larks music Facebook page for more music.

I have been trying to think of the number of ways of interpreting federal dollars that will be used to rescure General Motors. Here are a handful:
A. Bad capitalism (e.g. the worst kind of state-corporate collusion).
B. A bailout of the UAW's ridiculous contracts.
C. Another slap in the face of the small business community of Michigan.
D. A plan to keep America's automobile industry from ever REALLY recovering.
Despite the hype, a bailout for GM is not about protecting the economy. All the workers that will be supposeduly saved by keeping GM afloat should talk to the airline workers of the last three decades, where company after company has gone bankrupt. If we want to keep automative jobs in the U.S., then we have to let GM get reorganized, even if that means chopped up into pieces so that new entrpreneurial firms can rise from the ashes. And don't try telling us that now is the worst time to lose all these jobs. Please. That's an excuse to never act. A recession is when these things happen.
If Congress really cared about Michigan or the automotive industry in America, it would let GM face the music. The business model is flawed, and every year that a flawed automotive industry is propped up, it is another year lost. Do you think Toyota or Honda want to see GM saved? Yes! They would love nothing more than to keep that kind of competitor around indefinitely.
A revolution in the U.S. auto industry -- real change -- can happen, but it requires real change. No more zombies in Detroit. I think Michigan has suffered enough from the corporate-labor cabal, and it's long overdue to let the free market work a turnaround. David Brooks makes a number of similar points in this column today, as if Joseph Schumpeter himself were writing:
Granting immortality to Detroit's Big Three does not enhance creative destruction. It retards it. It crosses a line, a bright line. It is not about saving a system; there will still be cars made and sold in America. It is about saving politically powerful corporations. A Detroit bailout would set a precedent for every single politically connected corporation in America.
As for President-elect Obama, this is a serious test of what kind of capitalist he really is. A "good" capitalist that supports little guys (taxpayers, future generations, small businesses) or a "bad" capitalist that supports special interests (big business, organized labor, anyone with a lobbyist). I have high hopes for the Obama presidency, but his team has to understand that it literally won't get any easier to do the right thing than it is right now. Every month that goes by, political concerns for the 2010 mid-terms and 2012 re-election will weigh more heavily (not just on him, his team, or his allies in Congress, but on the whole system). Now is the time for the nation to take its medicine. So if Obama opts for the easy, short-term things now, there is no turning back.
The best thing Washington could do in this situation is this. Nothing.

To say whether an object is alive depends on your perspective. Our everyday perspective is full of things that are easy to label as living, but a new perspective offered by steady extension of the range of our senses present far more challenging scenarios where we must discriminate between what is animate and what is merely mechanical.
One of the greatest challenges to our perspective comes from simply adjusting the scale with which we observe the world. Close examination of the human body indicates that we are teeming with life at the micro-scale. An individual is a colony of macrophages, lipocytes, neurons and others. Each cell seems more alive than purely mechanical. After all, a cell swimming around in a lake is enough to be called an organism. Why not the same title for those swimming around your body? Or have they lost part of what makes them alive for the sake of cooperation with other cells?
As the range of our senses steadily expands we may meet new challenges to our definition of life. My piece
Surface Images of Satellite #3
intends to raise such questions.

This is video is an exploration of an analogy about the molecular landscape of the human body.
Our body is made largely of protein, complex molecular machines that begin as a simple linked chain. they take their final structure by wrapping up upon themselves in order to release a kind of tension or energy stored in hundreds of small electrical charges.
In this video I add tension to a thin cotton rope by twisting from one end. with enough tension higher order structures form spontaneously. the shape and movement of the rope has a remarkably organic and sinister quality.

Bennett crosses a shameful line
On the date of Judge Bob Moon's funeral (Jan. 28), you published a "cartoon" showing lack of compassion for people. It mocked the friendship between Judge Moon and Judge David Bales. Judge Moon's compassion and love for people and guidance in their personal lives and in their careers will be sorely missed by many. You allowed your political cartoonist to hit a low in integrity, class and compassion for his fellowman.
Judge David Bales is a man of integrity, honor and compassion. He has been a loyal friend to Judge Moon. Judge Bales does not deserve this public ridicule.
Some months ago, I made a telephone complaint to your office about the mean spirit of some of Mr. Clay Bennett's cartoons. A gentleman said that Mr. Bennett was well-respected all over this country. I said that I would assume that the Times Free Press approved of these mean-spirited cartoons. I said that many people would be deeply offended by his mean-spirited representations. This time, you allowed Mr. Bennett to cross a shameful line.
Cartoon the mother of all cheap shots
Having spent 22 years of a former life in newspapers, I understand some of the basics of editorial cartooning -- specifically, that a cartoonist should be provocative, but at the same time free from editorial interference. Accordingly, I had no issue with Clay Bennett or his occasionally good work until Jan. 29.
For the record: I do not live in Hamilton County. I was not acquainted with the late Judge Moon, nor am I acquainted with Judge David Bales.
Judge Bales was and is fair game, and the Times Free Press has taken him to task when necessary. Judge Moon had issues that were similarly well-chronicled, as they should have been. No problem on either count.
Perhaps I misunderstood the cartoon. Perhaps Mr. Bennett's sole aim was to take a shot at Judge Bales. But the cartoon struck me as the mother of all cheap shots, as Judge Moon is no longer around to defend himself.
The man is dead. Was a parting shot really necessary?
In professional fighting, a bout stops when one man can't continue. Then again, what do I know? Mr. Bennett is, after all, a Pulitzer Prize winner.
Ringgold, Ga.
Band participants also good studnts
As a retired teacher, my interest in the education of children is a top priority. In a time when we hear more bad than good in my profession, I want to point out one positive that is almost always evident. That is the success of students who participate in band.
These children are not only good musicians, they also are excellent students. Rarely will one find a band student who is not a dedicated, all-around, good kid. No discipline problems here!
Last Friday evening, I was privileged to witness the Sale Creek Panther Pride marching band perform all decked out in their new uniforms. Not only was the band performance awesome, also the athletes, students and fans showed great enthusiasm, excellent sportsmanship and behavior. As an alumana and former teacher at Sale Creek, I have never felt so proud in my entire life.
The word "PRIDE" stands for "People Really Interested Do Extra." This school is doing an extra special good job. My hat is off to the students, teachers, band boosters and parents. We may be small but we've got PRIDE!
Sale Creek, Tenn.
Newspaper reflects death of decency
I object to the political cartoon in your paper on Jan. 28. It saddens me to observe that the Times Free Press has fallen victim to the plague that has consumed the rest of our society; the death of respect and common decency. I feel the publishing of the cartoon about Judges Moon and Bales on the date of Judge Moon's funeral was highly inappropriate.
It saddens me to see that a newspaper, that at one time was highly respected, has fallen to the level of the tabloid press, willing to print anything to gain attention, regardless of the pain it may cause others. I would sincerely hope that your editor would at least apologize to the family of Judge Moon for this lack of common courtesy.
Bennett, paper should apologize
I usually love the political cartoons in the Times Free Press. However, the Jan. 28 cartoon was in bad taste. I have never seen a political attack on a person the day of their funeral. I am talking about Judge Bob Moon, who died suddenly, shocking his family and the community, and the cartoon by Clay Bennett.
Everyone was mourning the loss of Judge Moon when Clay Bennett came out with his political attack of Judges Moon and Bales, knowing Judge Moon could not respond. It is a cheap shot to attack someone who cannot defend themselves. It also showed no respect for the Moon family in their time of loss.
In the past, community leaders who have died have been painted in a gracious and respectful light. The Bennett cartoon of the day was neither of these.
He, along with the newspaper, need to make a public apology to the Moon family for their making of Bob Moon's passing a political event, instead of the passing of a community leader who will surely be missed.

Cartoon a tasteless attempt at humor
I seldom agree with the opinions written by the Chattanooga Times and view it more with laughter rather than as a source of serious commentary.
Today's cartoon (Jan. 28), depicting Judge Moon's chair with a dummy character of Judge Bales, crossed the line of journalistic ethics. Never in my life have I seen a more sick, tasteless attempt at political humor. It is common knowledge that Judge Moon and Judge Bales were dear friends and it also is common knowledge that Judge Bales is one of the first person's who found Judge Moon dead. If Bennett has no more shame than to poke fun at his political enemies less than 48 hours after a tragic death, then I suggest your editors take a break for a while and do some research on "simple human decency."
Carolina result isn't surprising
The Republican debates have been a circus. I have never seen so many lying politicians. I laughed when Gingrich, of all people, called Romney a liar.
Newt, who has been married nearly as many times as Elizabeth Taylor and possibly had more affairs, and more baggage than the old Railway Express, carried South Carolina.
This surprised my wife, since South Carolina probably has more evangelicals than any state in the Bible Belt. It didn't surprise me. I'm a Southerner! I've seen this kind of "Christian" (hypocrites?) turn their heads when it served their purpose.
The Democratic Party lost the South when blacks received the vote. The race issue turned the South over to Republicans. Too many Southern Democrats are racists.
Nevertheless, I'm pulling for Gingrich since my first choice, Cain, was eliminated for womanizing. It would have been wonderful to see two African-Americans running for president. Rednecks and racists would have had no where to go, ensuring Obama's re-election.
If Gingrich gets elected, he would put a colony on the moon. That's a Newt "grandiose" idea. However, the colony would consist only of millionaires. The poor and middle class couldn't afford to go. They would need government assistance, and that would be "socializing" the moon.
Walden, Tenn.
I wonder if there's an organized letter-writing campaign going on.
Reminds me of the Christian Shark-fin cartoon last year.
LOL! happy...I was just thinking the very same thing. These jokers are attempting to force the hands of the tfp by making it seem everyone is in agreement, when most really don't give &^%! They operate in numbers to appear more powerful. I've seen them try this same tea party* strategy before.
They're actually the ones disgracing and shaming the memory of Judge Bob Moon with their juvenile antics. The Judge Moon I remember would be embarrassed and disgusted with their exploitation of him. The widow, Mrs. Moon, hopefully will come forward and demand they put a stop to their lunatic antics.
Note: Most all of'em come from a certain part of the County? Of course, they have a few friends in Ringgold and elsewhere to give the appearance of being more spread out.
The letters hit the nail on the head. There's no organized campaign. Just widespread disappointment in what used to be a decent newspaper. Now it's just an attention-seeking tabloid, featuring a burned-out cartoonist thirsting for a better gig. Timing is everything, and the Times looney-tune lefty squad published this piece of crap a few days too early.
Sorry Wilby, the Democrats did not lose the south when the blacks got the vote in 1965. As recently as 1994 Tennessee had 2 Democrat Senators and the Governor. Georgia did not elect a Republican Governor until 2002 and had had only 1 Republican Senator up until that time. As recently as 2008 Louisiana had a Democrat Governor and Senator. And it took 40 years for the Republicans to gain control in Southern Legislatures. Of course I hate to confuse a liberal Democrat with the facts.
Sorry Riverman, your historical analysis is incorrect. You can clearly see the electoral switch of the South with a bit of perspective. Certainly it was not an immediate one-day process, with no cross-over, but I don't think that WILBOURNE C. MARKHAM was intended to say that, just recognizing that it did happen.
If you don't believe me, go check out how many politicians switched parties. Take a look at Rick Perry in particular. Go check out the Presidential races.
You aren't in possession of the facts, you're just grasping at straws.
ldurham, the more you accuse, the more doubts I have. Especially since I'm quite sure you'd completely switch directions were it some other subject closer to your own sentiments.
Bulb,what part of,"the Democrats lost the south WHEN the blacks got the vote," do you not understand? If Wilby did not mean to say that he might have written, the Democrats BEGAN losing the south when the Democrats got the vote. Glad to see he has such a high opinion of his fellow southern Democrats.
Well, if you wish to suggest he rewrite it for clarity, that's fine.
I don't believe your suggestion is simply one for improvement though, you were just trying to prove him wrong. But you just admitted he was correct, you just wanted it expressed differently.
"happywiththenewbulbs"... I can assure you, if Mr. Bennett were to doodle one of his ha-ha cartoons about a liberal hero, like Tommie Brown, in the period between her death and her funeral, I would be just as offended. Of course this would never happen, nor should it happen...to anyone.
ldurham: Does it have to be Mr. Bennett? What if it's some other artist? Can we see your offense demonstrated somewhere? I'd post some images, but that'd be kinda suspect since you could just say "Of course I'm offended" now without it being necessarily genuine.
What good would that do? If you say you're offended now, that's no test of authenticity.
For that, I would want you to provide a prior example of offense in such circumstances, preferably ones that had nothing to do with your own animosity towards Clay Bennett or your favoritism towards the Subject matter.
So you can say you hate Clay Bennett for something else. That's nothing. Show me your criticism towards somebody who you agree with, and who would be saying something you supported.
In other words, you can't show me a previous example of the TFP doing something this stupid. I didn't think you could. Where does it say I hate Clay Bennett? Never met him. I have no desire to do so. It would show a great deal of class on his part, if he would apologize for the heartless timing of a demeaning cartoon.
But what are the chances of that? Hopefully the publicity he's getting from this (his main purpose) will send him on to greener pastures... perhaps a liberal hotbed where his "genius" will be appreciated. Because most folks in this town think he sucks.
I could tell you lots of times when people get outraged at something Clay Bennett drew. I already mentioned one in my first post. Did you not see it? Do you want me to link back through it, or to the numerous letters expressing outrage towards it?
I don't know why. This discussion isn't about that or him. Why on earth are you thinking about that it is? For me, this discussion is about you. You're coming across to me as somebody who is antagonistic towards him. Haven't you noticed your animosity towards him in your own posts? You just gave another, when you make a bombastic claim about how "most folks in this town think he sucks" which is further evidence to me that you're a card-carrying member of the Anti-Clay Bennett Club. If you're not, you should join, I hear you get a discount on haircuts!
And you expect me to believe you wouldn't ignore someone making a similar drawing if it were a sentiment you agreed with. I think you'd be completely indifferent, at best, and more likely supportive. You're certainly trying to duck the issue here, with your dodging of the issue.
So...yeah, keep pushing your offense, I'm beginning to think it's more and more fake, not genuine, just part of your campaign. You hate Clay Bennett. So whatever he does, you'll find an excuse to criticize him on it.
Or will you produce an example of you expressing outrage at another cartoon, by some other artist, where it was a sentiment you supported?
No? Don't you want to prove you're genuine?
Idurham -- newbulbs, along with his messiah The Obama, follows the Saul Alinsky rules of offense; accuse without basis, say anthing, attack, use red herrings, etc.
He is using you. He attacks, you feel you must defend against them.
Don't. Just tell him to go suck rocks...and keep repeating it. He can't stand that and soon leaves you alone. There are a number of others here who use the same attack method.
Rolando, I wonder if you take your hypocrisy pills in the morning, or the evening?
I guess it doesn't matter. The fact is, the people against Clay Bennett, like you, and the current crop feeding on Judge Moon just come with criticisms, much as you accuse others of doing.
And this is why none of it matters. No integrity. No honor. That almost makes you a bad opponent since your complete lack of character serves as no check at all.
I'd much rather have enemies with values, then at least sometimes they might offer valid criticism.
Let's see... still waiting on another instance in which the TFP ran a demeaning cartoon of a freshly-deceased local elected official before his funeral. Geez, it must be tough to find one. Kind of like trying to find a Clay Bennett apology. I don't believe it exists.
I'm waiting on you to produce an instance of you criticizing somebody for saying some sentiment you share but in a tasteless way.
I don't believe you ever did it. In fact, from your continued dodging of it, I'm convinced more and more that you never have, that you probably cheer dozens of examples of tasteless comments from those who share your sentiments.
It's like the folks who praise the adulterous Newt who conducted his acts while condemning others. No honesty to you.
Why are you waiting? Shouldn't you be actively showing your own probity with examples of how you have offered criticisms of those whose sentiments you shared?
Yes, you should. You can't. Instead, you try to dodge it, by doing what? Oh yeah! Pretenses of obliviousness!
Oh, so I'm the one doing the dodging. I see. Meanwhile criticism from sane people is raining down on the TFP and its attention-seeking cartoonist. And they're "dodging" their moral responsibility of apologizing to a deeply offended community.
Part of being a man is owning up to mistakes. So far, Mr. Bennett has not lived up to that title. He has, however succeeded in attracting attention to himself. Mission accomplished, at whatever cost.
rolando, gee how many days ago were you attacking those who tried to silence others? I don't think it was even a week.
ldurham, seems to me you expect more of others, but nothing of yourself. See your complete indifference to demonstrating that you are an honest critic. And yet you chide others for not being responsible. How does that work?
Aren't these the same right wingnut conservatives attacking Clay Bennett the same right wingnut conservatives* who went after tfp cartoonist Bruce Plante and had the tfp run him out of town? 'Nuf said
Defending the indefensible isn't easy, is it? Just keep trying. Bennett's reputation, such as it was, is lower than a caterpillar's belly in this town. He's unable, or unwilling to man up. Hopefully his next job will be in a town more suited to his "talent."
And you said you didn't hate him. But you keep showing examples of you hating him. How's that work?
Here's what I believe, you would not even bat an eye if it were some sentiment you shared, you're just using this as an excuse to justify your attacks because you believe we won't dare to question your reason.
But I've seen quite enough of this kind of criticism that it doesn't hold water. You attack one for any offense, but condone your own.
It just doesn't work, and the more you fail to recognize that, the more I know you're false in your outrage.
No, my outrage isn't false. I, along with many others, continue to be outraged that a once half-decent local newspaper allowed a delusional cartoonist, drunk in his own power, to publish an offensive cartoon on the day of a respected citizen's funeral. Period. I know that's hard for the Bennett Band of Loonies to understand. Though, frankly that's easier to believe than the fact that Bennett himself is too smug to apologize for his poor timing and incredibly bad taste.
But no worries: every couple of days, he'll stamp out another mediocre drawing, and you lap dogs can suck up at his trough. Until he gets another job, which his newfound notoriety will surely allow him to do. Meanwhile, the TFP continues its slow but sure descent into total irrelevance, as the impotent suits sit back and watch it sink.
And yet you said earlier that you didn't hate him. Going back on that already?
Gives me more reason to think you're just picking that reason as justification for your attack, since it seems so superficial compared to your deep loathing for Bennett.
But your animosity keeps showing more more. Look at how you're attacking others in such a hostile manner. Your criticism is showing itself to be less authentic by the post.
Tell ya what, Skippy. I'll give you the last word. You probably don't get that at home with Mom.
I'll close by saying that Mr. Bennett has now had a full week to apologize to Judge Moon's family and friends, as well as Judge Bales, and has not done so. He has exposed himself as a callous, attention-seeking coward. Enough said.
Oh, somebody who just insulted somebody for living with their mother calls someone ELSE a coward.
Tell you what, you learn some decency yourself before you get to look down at others.
You're far more cowardly than Clay Bennett.
Again, we see the typical Anti-Clay Bennett fan club rallying around each other and cheering...for another complete failure?
you Bennett bashers have got it all wrong. i would expect nothing less from the slack jawed mouth breathers around here.
in the ventriloquist puppet relationship the ventriloquist is a god. if anyone should be offended it should be judge bales.

As an artist who has been making mezzotint engravings for 35 years, it was a pleasure to produce the artist's book Arch with my friend and collaborator, Jack Stauffacher, letterpress printer and proprietor of the Greenwood Press, San Francisco for 65 years. Arch includes five hand pulled mezzotints of arches from Italian vernacular architecture, and poetic text from Paul Valéry's Dialogues, Eupalinos or the Architect. Hand binding with Japanese clothes was by Foolscap Press, Santa Cruz.
Partnering the chiaroscuro of velvety blacks and subtle gray/whites of my mezzotints with the sculpted black letterpress of Jack's type seems like a perfect marriage, in addition to the intimate scale and lack of glass in front of the mezzotint surface.
Books by Jack and mezzotints by me are in many public collections and libraries including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; The Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Legion of Honor Museum, San Francisco; The Bancroft Library, Berkeley. Jack is a recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and I, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Arch was supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Chicago.

I went to a dealership and took this photo:
Nice car and all, but eeuuoo! Remind me not to do that, OK?– Flyss
P.S. As for how the chip got there, perhaps Richard Menniss had the same thing happen to him as what I watched agents of Soraya do to the man we referred to as "the Bounty Hunter." It's very similar to what I imagined, except the chip was put his belly rather than his foot.
The one in real life actually had an Illuminati Symbol on it. Yikes. Fills me with a peaceful sense of trust as I contemplate that rabbit hole, don't you think?

Man accused of stealing cemetery flower urns
Published On: Oct 10 2013 10:47:11 AM CDT
A Grand Junction man is accused of stealing $9,000 worth of flower urns from a cemetery, many of them from the graves of veterans.
A judge ordered 26-year-old David Gillespie to be held on $5,000 bond on Wednesday in the thefts of 15 brass urns from Memorial Gardens.
The cemetery estimated that the urns are worth $600 a piece. However, The Daily Sentinel reports that Gillespie is accused of selling 11 of them to a metal company for a total of $124.
Police say Gillespie told the company he had collected the urns from the Utah property of his recently deceased grandfather.

When a species goes extinct, sometimes fossils can be found, remains uncovered. The presence of DNA might allow scientists to decipher the biological essence. We know the Stegosaurus. We can study the Wooly Mammoth.
But when a human language disappears, especially one spoken by indigenous tribal people, there's rarely any key left behind. For most of the world's 6,000 languages, writing samples are sparse, recordings rare. One by one, they're going silent. Each loss becomes a linguistic black hole, where an entire way of knowing the world gets trapped out of hearing, gone forever.
Nearly all of them could be extinct in the next two centuries, says University of Alaska Fairbanks professor emeritus Michael Krauss.
"I claim that it is catastrophic for the future of mankind," Krauss said during a session on the phenomena of extinction at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in San Francisco. "It should be as scary as losing 90 percent of the biological species."

I was wondering if you are able to give me a general building estimate for this house in NL. I was also wondering if it's possible to change to staircase so that you go up the stairs closer to the kitchen rather than as you come in the front door. Any info would be great.

Essay Writing Strategies
To get started, throw all your ideas – the expected and the unexpected, the solid and the outlandish – onto a piece of paper. Don't censor yourself – no one need see these ideas except you. This will likely be an ugly mess. But it will also serve as a bucket from which you can draw the content of your essay.
First Draft
Begin to organize the best of these ideas into a "Shitty First Draft," as the writer Annie Lamott calls it.
Shoot for a central idea (or thesis) that is interesting and non-obvious. You want to find something that will be honest and unique to you, as much as is possible, without being *too* gimmicky.
To get started, ask yourself:
Take a look at They Say, I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing for helpful and user-friendly advice on constructing academic argument.
Use this opportunity to distinguish yourself from the other applicants. Sort through your preliminary ideas to identify the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Work on the Big Picture first
Get Outside Readers
Revise until your essay is a coherent reflection of who you are and what you want to do.
Once you've got the central idea or story nailed down, one that is interesting and compelling, it's time to tackle your paragraphs and sentences.
Rules of Writing
Formatting and Accuracy
Essays (especially personal essays) are typically read quickly and often in bulk; yours should be a pleasure to read. Start with a hook that quickly takes the reader into the heart of your discussion.

The year's most disturbing media story: British tabloid hacked dead girl's phone messages
The British tabloid media is known for its hold-your-nose-and-admit-you-like-it tastelessness. But even by its own standards, the bombshell revelations that Rubert Murdoch's News of the World allegedly hacked into the phone of a murdered 13-year-old girl in 2002 -- as well as the families of victims from the July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings in London -- are new lows. The British phone-hacking scandal up to now has involved the personal lives and embarrassing peccadilloes of princes, politicians, actors and other notable personalities. But the notion that a paper would stoop to targeting a murder victim stunned the usually unflappable British public.
Late today, the DailyTelegraph reported Scotland Yard detectives were contacting the families of victims of the July 7 bombings in London back in 2005, who might also have been victims of journalists' phone hacking attempts. "It is thought that journalists were seeking to access voice messages left on family members' phones as they desperately waited for information about their loved ones in the aftermath of the bombings," The Telegraph reported.
Labor party leader Ed Miliband summed it up, calling the episode a "stain on the character of British journalism" and parliament will hold public hearings tomorrow on the matter.
What happened? After 13-year-old Milly Dowler went missing, a private investigator hired by the News of the World allegedly hacked into her phone in an effort to get some scoops on the case. He listened to her messages, but then -- in order hear more incoming calls without the voicemail filling up -- he deleted some of the messages. Dowler's family concluded it was Milly who deleted the messages and so she must be alive. The police investigation was stymied by the confusion, and it's still not known if any vital evidence was lost.
For background into the case against the paper and its hacking attempts against Princes William and Harry -- as well as other celebrities -- check out this riveting account in the New York Times Magazine from 2010.
It described the News of the World as "a frantic, sometimes degrading atmosphere in which some reporters openly pursued hacking or other improper tactics to satisfy demanding editors...one former reporter called it a 'do whatever it takes' mentality."
[The] News of the World was hardly alone in accessing messages to obtain salacious gossip. 'It was an industrywide thing,' said Sharon Marshall, who witnessed hacking while working at News of the World and other tabloids. 'Talk to any tabloid journalist in the United Kingdom, and they can tell you each phone company's four-digit codes. Every hack on every newspaper knew this was done.'
BBC political editor Nick Robinson points out that in some ways the story is a political and media tsunami, touching on multiple fronts:
For a long time the hacking story united those who'd always been hostile to the Murdoch empire with those angered by its switch from backing New Labour to supporting the Tories, and those who saw it as a way to damage David Cameron (who hired the former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his spin doctor).
Now Murdoch ... and Cameron will be aware that for the first time the hacking story may be engaging and horrifying readers, viewers and voters.
In Afghanistan today, David Cameron called the charges "really appalling" if true. But he might be in an awkward position, according to the Daily Telegraph. He is a friend of Rebekah Brooks, the News Corp executive who was editor at the time the hacking occurred (she's denied knowing about it).
For David Cameron, the News of the World scandal is tremendously difficult. His close friendship with Rebekah Brooks...[is] bound to be mentioned in tomorrow's emergency debate in the Commons on the subject. For Ed Miliband, it has provided a rare triumph -- even the most spectical have praised his well-balanced attack on News International. For once, Miliband was not just delivering a line -- he was expressing a deeply held Left-wing skepticism of the tabloid press, and this resonated with the public.
The Telegraph said that one consequence of the case could be increased attempts at regulating the press in the country.

Fern, of Life on the Balcony, asked some cogent questions in a comment relating to my post about Leda Meredith. My reply was so long I thought I'd best post the dialogue here.
Fern said:
I would imagine being a locavore is pretty in Israel, right? When your country is just under 300 miles long, 85 miles wide, and most of the population lives roughly in the middle of the country, almost the entire country is within a 100-mile radius.
Does Israel import a lot of food? I would think that would be the only serious hurdle unless you live in the extreme north or south.
Israel does import a lot of food. I would like to know more about the subject, but the little information I found in newspapers is that close to 80% of our foodstuffs are imported (maybe my Net searches weren't precise enough, but I found almost nothing there). For one example, we do have flour mills, but the wheat is imported. For another, all dried pulses and grains come from abroad.
We can choose locally grown fruit and veg, both fresh and frozen, honey, poultry and eggs, milk products (tons of those), some preserved and canned foods, some beef and lamb, some fish, some spices. There's more, of course, but this is what I can remember, off the top of the hat.
There is ample transportation, and you can get whatever you need in markets from the Golan down to Eilat.
As I'm writing, I'm mentally breaking down today's lunch into imported and exported. Let's see: turkey wings (local) braised in leeks, tomatoes, onions (all local), garlic (local, because I buy 10 kgs. green garlic each spring and dry it; otherwise I'd have to rely on imported), wine (home-made from local grapes, but the wine yeast was imported), salt (local), pepper (imported), tamari (imported), sage (home-grown), thyme (local). Then there's rice (imported). Broccoli and mushrooms – local. Olive oil for cooking – local.
You see here that the fresh stuff is Israeli and the dry or fermented depends on imports. If I were to go to a bakery and buy a few sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), I'm not at all sure what percent of the ingredients would be local. I am assuming that the ingredients, bought cheapest in bulk, are imported. The flour: imported wheat. The yeast: imported dry, although we do make fresh. The jelly: I'm guessing imported. The oil in which they were fried: imported soy or canola.
Heck, even the cranberry-walnut muffins I baked this morning couldn't be done without imported ingredients. I've had to ask myself if I should stop baking, which is silly. Of course I'll keep baking, but since discovering how heavily my baking depends on imports, I take more care to recycle anything that goes stale. Half a pan of cornbread became stuffing for peppers and fish – like that.
Israelis are turning more and more to fast, convenient, packaged foods. At this time of year, the supermarket dedicates an entire aisle to instant soups and noodle/ rice meals to which you only need add hot water (yich). The freezer section is loaded with imported fish, meat, fruit and veg, right there next to the local. Not to mention the omnipresent soy patties, which are feeding a whole generation of kids whose mothers are too busy to cook real food. These foods are, I estimate, at least 80% import-dependent.
(I have a particular grudge against those soy patties, in spite of all their "healthy" vegetable additions. First, the soy is imported and, if reports are correct, genetically modified. Then, two nine-year-old girls I know of have developed adult-sized breasts, and their pediatricians blame this on heavy consumption of soy "shnitzels". The only soy I allow in my family's diet is fermented: tamari and miso. No soy shnitzels, no soy milk, not even tofu. But I'll stop this rant and return to the subject at hand.)
You can reduce dependence on imported foodstuffs here if you shop consciously. Depends on your priorities. If it comes to choosing between Spanish olive oil or local; Norwegian salmon or one of our Israeli fish, you know what I'm buying.

A good weekday chicken dish that takes under an hour to make (as long as you don't have to run to the store for leeks!). I adapted this recipe from the October 2008 issue of Eating Well magazine, so it's healthy as well as tasty. My 4 year old daughter told me "make this every night", so it was a big hit! The original recipe was made with skinless, boneless, trimmed chicken thighs and currant jelly -- I substituted skinless, boneless chicken breast and, as I couldn't find currant jelly, canned cranberry sauce (like for Thanksgiving). The recipe also called for fresh, peeled and diced pear, but Whole Foods has canned Bartlett pears in pear juice which saved me lots of time. I served this with my Couscous with Peas and Carrots and steamed broccoli.

I wouldn't bet on the pin setters dropping behind the tarps. Those are there to take most of the momentum from the balls so that they drop into the pit at the end of the alley. Needless to say the balls hit there with a pretty substantial force. Standing behind them and having limited visibility would be dangerous when some guy is hurling a 16 lb. bowling ball at you. As I understand it most later bowling alleys had a platform above the alley like the one these kids are sitting on but it had a sort of screen or wall in front of it. When a ball went through the kids would drop down set the pins and jump back up all while hoping that some sadistic SOB wasn't throwing another ball to hit them.
[There are a few photos of the kids coming out from behind the tarps, which are not fastened at the bottom. - Dave]
Those kids must have been very distracting to the bowler.
[I think they stayed behind the tarps until the ball came through. - Dave]
Duck Pins is still a fairly popular variant of bowling in some areas. It's the preferred version in Quebec for example. Candle Pins (where the pins are basically straight tubes with only a slight bulge in the middle) is the found mostly in Eastern Canada and New England.
My Dad told us kids that he once worked in a bowling alley setting duck pins. Didn't say how much he was paid or anything else about this job. This would have been in the 1930s in or around Clairton, PA, south of Pittsburgh. Later he would work as a hod carrier and parking cars in a parking garage before joining the Marines in 1940. He had a lot to say about these jobs.

Here's my take on it. I was pleased with my initial foray into iridescent fabric, and used a royal purple to tie everything together.
Great Job !!!
Greycat, I hope the colors are close to what you had in mind.
Why would someone want the left breast to appear smaller than her right? I hope an enterprising Photoshopper will restore her lovely proportions.

and form study. Maybe there were many, but I remember this pose as a figure that my Grandmother had in her bathroom. The figure was purchased as raw bisque at a craft or hobby shop in the '40s, '50s or '60s, painted by the purchaser (my Grandma) and returned to the shop to be fired in a kiln. However I don't remember the figure having the upper garment.
And very risque. Did they have bikini waxes in 1920?
She is just gorgeous! My very own "Picture of Lily"
A very pretty young woman, with a lovely figure, dressed in a scanty costume. Timeless beauty, what more can you ask? Please put this young woman in the Shorpy top 10!
I would also like to see this one Colorized. Perhaps a soft green or peach color for her outfit.
No Photoshop here!

She doesn't look like a happy puppy.
Wasn't the line from one of his songs "She's an artist, she don't look back!" She is relaxed within herself.
What classic Beauty.
She looks like a wax statue. And her navel is showing! NBC will fire her for that.

That's ALOT of skin to be showing for 1920!

The flight was issued vectors to intercept the final approach course of Runway 31 at Corpus Christi International Airport, and was cleared for the localizer 31 approach. The first officer was manipulating the controls, the In-Range and Approach checklists were completed, and the approach was briefed. A previous aircraft had requested the ILS RWY 13 approach and the tower controller had switched the ILS localizer from 31 to 13. After the completion of the approach, the tower controller did not reselect the localizer 31 approach. The flightcrew tuned in the localizer for Runway 31; however, they did not identify it by morse code. The captain reported that the localizer for Runway 31 was intercepted, 'although at the very beginning the course deviation bar did a couple of full scale deflections, but locked on 7 miles southeast' of the final approach fix. The aircraft was in and out of a broken cloud layer at 2,000 feet msl and the visibility was about 5 to 6 miles. After verifying all instruments were properly configured for the approach, the captain looked outside and 'saw a runway at the northern edge of the cloud they were in and out of.' The runway also had the number 31 painted on its approach end. The captain reported the field in sight to approach control and he was instructed to contact tower control. Tower cleared the flight to land. The flight landed at Cabaniss Field which is a Navy auxiliary field located 5 nautical miles southeast of Corpus Christi International Airport. Cabaniss is located on the final approach course for Runway 31 to Corpus Christi. The first officer had just completed ground and simulator differences training for the Boeing 737-300/500 series aircraft, and this was the first flight of his initial operating experience (IOE) for differences training in the aircraft. The first officer had never been to Corpus Christi, and it had been three years since the captain had been there.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Investigators say a storage unit containing snakes and heat lamps is the origin of a fire that destroyed 32 units at a self-storage facility in Chesapeake.
Chesapeake Fire Department Capt. Scott Saunders tells media outlets that the unit's tenant was using the heat lamps to keep six snakes in an aquarium warm. The tenant used an extension cord to power the heat lamps.
The fire has been ruled accidental. But Saunders says investigators haven't determined the exact cause.
The fire occurred Saturday.

Question: "What do the letters B.C., A.D., BCE, and CE mean?"
Answer: All four of these oft-encountered terms are related to Jesus Christ.
B.C. and A.D. B.C. is short for "Before Christ". While some people believe "A.D." stands for "After Death", "AD" or "A.D." is actually from the Latin term, "anno Domini", which means "in the year of the Lord". It is supposed to refer to years counted from Christ's birth. However, because of some inaccurate counting and some uncertainty over when Christ was born, there is probably a 4 to 8 year discrepancy with Christ probably being born between 8 B.C. and 4 B.C..
The B.C./A.D. calendar system was not established until around 500 A.D., well after the books of the Bible were written. See the citation from the Encyclopaedia Britannica below. So any references to B.C. or A.D. you read "in the Bible" are related to footnotes, commentaries, or other study aids supplied by the translators. While the original authors were miraculously inspired by God, translators are not. So we need to exercise some degree of caution when we use such aids.
BCE and CE. CE stands for "Common Era" or "Current Era" (although references to "Christian Era" can be found). BCE is "Before Common Era" or "Before Current Era". CE and BCE dates are identical with A.D. and B.C. dates (for example, 2000 CE is the same as 2000 A.D.). This is a thinly veiled attempt by atheists and religious people other than Christians to remove Christian religious references from our culture.
From Encyclopaedia Britannica for "chronology: Christian"
The Christian Era is the era now in general use throughout the world. Its epoch, or commencement, is January 1, 754 AUC (ab urbe condita--"from the foundation of the city [of Rome]"--or anno urbis conditae--"in the year of the foundation of the city"). Christ's birth was at first believed to have occurred on the December 25 immediately preceding. Years are reckoned as before or after the Nativity, those before being denoted BC (before Christ) and those after by AD (anno Domini, "in the year of the Lord"). Chronologers admit no year zero between 1 BC and AD 1. The precise date of commencing the annual cycle was widely disputed almost until modern times, December 25, January 1, March 25, and Easter day each being favoured in different parts of Europe at different periods.
The Christian Era was invented by Dionysius Exiguus (c. AD 500-after 525), a monk of Scythian birth resident in Italy; it was a by-product of the dispute that had long vexed the churches as to the correct method of calculating Easter. Many churches, including those in close contact with Rome, followed 95-year tables evolved by Theophilus, bishop of Alexandria, and by his successor, St. Cyril; but some Western churches followed other systems, notably a 532-year cycle prepared for Pope Hilarius (461-468) by Victorius of Aquitaine. In 525, at the request of Pope St. John I, Dionysius Exiguus prepared a modified Alexandrian computation based on Victorius' cycle. He discarded the Alexandrian era of Diocletian, reckoned from AD 284, on the ground that he "did not wish to perpetuate the name of the Great Persecutor, but rather to number the years from the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ."
Somehow Dionysius reckoned the birth of Christ to have occurred in 753 AUC; but the Gospels state that Christ was born under Herod the Great--i.e., at the latest in 750 AUC. Dionysius' dating was questioned by the English saint Bede in the 8th century and rejected outright by the German monk Regino of Prüm at the end of the 9th. Nevertheless, it has continued in use to the present day, and, as a result, the Nativity is reckoned to have taken place before the start of the Christian Era.

"accustomed skill and resourcefulness."
The hallmark of a Mint show is the care that goes into each and every aspect of our productions, beginning with our choice of plays, and continuing through the casting, design, direction and acting. In his review of Philip Goes Forth, Terry Teachout of the Wall Street Journal referred to the "track record of the Mint" and called the play a gem, "mounted with the company's accustomed skill and resourcefulness." I'm so proud to think that audiences have become "accustomed" to the attention we lavish on our plays.
