AMC's new Revolutionary War television series, Turn, brings viewers into a world of espionage, covert operations, code breaking and double agents. The show is based on historian Alexander Rose's book Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring. In this case, fact is every bit as exciting as fiction. Rose tells the story of the Culper Ring, a small network of spies who operated under the direction of George Washington. This unusual group of spies worked unlike anyone before, and the Culper Ring's activities laid the foundation for modern spy craft. Rose shares more about the groundbreaking band of spies in this interview.
This compelling and fascinating chapter of the Revolutionary War probably isn't much like the story that you remember from your high school history class. Turn showrunner Craig Silverstein explains, "What we're told in school is that it was a very David vs. Goliath tale, that we fought the British for our freedom. In reality, it was a war fought between neighbors; it was fought house to house … It wasn't like we were repelling an alien invasion force; it was more like a divorce."
Turn premiered on AMC on April 6. Get a taste of this exciting new series in this preview.

Theater review: What a wonderful 'Wizard' in Ojai
Performers young and old stroll confidently down yellow brick road
It takes a village, and a wizard, to organize and prepare a cast of dozens of actors young and old. Director Gai Jones again dons the wizard hat for the Ojai Art Center Theater team as it presents a multigenerational production of L. Frank Baum's whimsical story of "The Wizard of Oz."
Among the villagers sharing the burden are stalwarts like producer Herb Hemming, artistic director Neva Williams, vocal director Candace Delbo, choreographer Holly Bassuk and piano accompanist Greg Spaulding, just to name a few. Of course with so many youngsters in the cast, parents doubtless play a key role in supporting the show as well. At Sunday's matinee, family members could be heard bursting into shouts and applause at the successful completion of even a single line by the little folk. We're not sure about the reaction of a few teens we observed earlier being herded into the Ojai Art Center; they admitted to never having heard of Baum or "Oz."
But those who love the story never seem to tire of it. Director Jones points out in her program note that this production is not a replica of the famous film, but is another adaptation of the book chosen from many options. This one was taken from the Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis.
Most audiences won't find much missing from what they might remember in the movie starring Judy Garland as the Kansas farm girl Dorothy, and a raft of famous actors in key roles. Toto is still prominent, played by the fluffy and amiable Koala, adopted from the county Humane Society and already a stage veteran after having played Sandy in 2011's "Annie."
Sunday afternoon's Dorothy was the sweet-voiced Emmy Hilgers, who managed to keep pace with the grown-ups as well as depict a gentle but forthright heroine (Sophia Montano alternates in the role). Her farm folks, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, are sturdily portrayed by Janet McNeil and Bill Spellman, who turn up in various guises throughout the show, including his moments as The Wizard.
Farm hands and later Dorothy's companions in the land of Oz on Sunday were David Stewart as the Scarecrow with no brain, Armando Hernandez as the Tin Woodman with no heart, and Shayne Bourbon as the Cowardly Lion. Alternates in the roles are Tanner Cross, Kevin Lacey and Brian Orser (not the Olympic figure skater).
Stewart stood out Sunday for his acrobat ability as the constantly crumbling Scarecrow, including one clever moment in which Dorothy gave his feet a light push and he somersaulted backward. Hernandez possesses a fine voice, which he puts to good use, and Bourbon is appropriately cringing as the world's least-frightening lion.
It's impossible to name all of the cast's featured players, but Virginia Streat commands the stage as The Wicked Witch of the West, the villain of the piece. She doesn't sing, but her dramatic delivery of evil lines and cackling glee over Dorothy's plight are memorable moments. On the good side of Dorothy's encounters is Cynthia Baker as the Sorceress of the North. Baker, an engine mechanic in the Navy for 21 years, revels in the change of pace the role offers, complete with glittering crown, fluffy gown and the opportunity to sing a reprise of the show's iconic song, "Over the Rainbow." She's joined by Streat in the song as the second act opens, with Baker rendering the lyrical song while Streat creates her own wicked take on the words.
There are abundant musical numbers, with lots and lots of participants in most of them. But the songs that still resonate from the film's impact are the Scarecrow's "If I Only Had a Brain," the Tin Man's "If I Only Had a Heart," The Lion's "If I Only Had the Nerve," "We're Off to See the Wizard" and "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead."
The Munchkins are amusing and the chorus assembled in "Jitterbug" does a fine job of representing the spirit and movement of the lively insects.
'The Wizard of Oz'
An adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic tale will be performed through April 28 at Ojai Art Center Theater, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $20 general admission; $18 seniors, students and members; $10 children.

Traffic Jammin' with Janis Mara – Every Monday at 2pm on Claycord.com.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Greetings, all! This Claycord.com column is for everyone who negotiates the highways and public transit of the Bay Area. It runs every Monday at 2pm and answers your commuting and transportation questions.
Email your questions to email@example.com.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Behold! This week, frequent commenter Connie Dobbs shares this great shot of her 1977 Toyota Corolla taken in Oakland in 1998. She said, "It was like being in one's own parade. I never once got pulled over in it." Thanks for sharing! Claycordians all, don't hesitate to share photos of your rides as well.
COMMUTER: I was driving down San Pablo Avenue in Richmond and approaching a traffic light at an intersection. Traffic was backed up in the two main lanes, so I drove between a set of double yellow lines to get to the left-turn lane and make my turn.
When I completed the turn, I was shocked to see a police officer behind me with lights on. He pulled me over and gave me a ticket. What gives?
–Unpleasantly Surprised
TRAFFIC JAMMER: US, you ran afoul of a phenomenon that confuses a lot of people – a set of double yellow lines, with enough space between them for a car to drive in.
Years ago, a CHP officer told the Jammer to think of this as equivalent to a traffic island. Just as you're not allowed to drive on or across a traffic island, US, you cannot do so with a set of double yellow lines.
This setup is governed by Vehicle Code section 21651(a). The section dictates that whenever a highway is divided into two or more roadways by a section not less than two feet in width, either unpaved or delineated by curbs, double-parallel lines, or other markings, it is illegal to drive any vehicle upon the dividing section.
COMMUTER: I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone and I'm worried because I need my car to drive to work. I got another ticket about a year ago, so I can't go to traffic school to mask this ticket. Am I going to lose my insurance once my insurance company learns I got a ticket?
TRAFFIC JAMMER: The cell phone ticket will not appear as a point on your record, Frightened. Since you need a clean driving record so badly, the Jammer suggests turning off the cell phone before getting in the car, so you won't be tempted when it rings, or even putting it in the trunk. Otherwise, you could end up getting in a crash because of the distraction.
COMMUTER: Hey Jammer, was down at the laundrymat today and saw something that made me mad. So I took a pic (above). How do we fight this crap without resorting to calling up our large friends and physically moving the car into the street?
TRAFFIC JAMMER: TC, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for your concern, your photo and your question. Readers, as you can see, this driver parked not in the disabled space but the crosshatched area next to it. It is also illegal to park in that space. The answer: Even though parking lots like these are considering private property, you can call law enforcement to come and handle the situation and they will do so.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: That's it for this week – see you next Monday. Be sure to cruise by Claycord.com at 2pm for more traffic intelligence. Remember, whether you drive, walk, bike or hop Amtrak, BART or AC Transit, Traffic Jammer Janis Mara is here to answer your questions.

Has Windows Media Center been a hit or miss for Microsoft?
But does that make Windows Media Center a failure? MSNBC seems to think so. In an article on Microsoft's hits and misses during Bill Gates tenure, MSNBC calls Windows Media Center a miss.
It's true that other products like TiVo and generic set top boxes have been more successful at infiltrating the living room. Not only do these consumer devices let users record and pause television, but in many cases they're letting users access internet services without a TV.
Meanwhile, few people want to stick a computer next to their television set. But that might not be the point. Windows Media Center might not be as familiar a name as TiVo, but the software is powerful and well thought out. And high end home theater PC makers have been designing fancy computers to take advantage of the software for years. And a growing number of companies are releasing Windows Media Extenders that let users access media on a PC connected to a home network without sticking a PC next to the television.
What do you think? Is Windows Media Center a hit or a miss? Keep in mind, MSNBC considers Halo a hit and Clippy a miss. So what I'm really asking is whether MCE fits in the same category as Clippy.

Microsoft begins beta testing next gen Windows Media Center
Microsoft has reportedly begun testing the next generation of Windows Media Center, which bears the codename Fiji. There's not a lot of information about the beta test. We can't say for sure how many users are involved, or if and when Microsoft will expand the beta.
It's likely that the update will add support for the upcoming DirecTV tuner. But other than that, it's not entirely clear whether Fiji will sport any new features, or whether it'll just be a refined version of Windows Vista Media Center.
Microsoft is on track to release Windows 7 sometime around 2010. Windows 7 is the codename for the operating system that will eventually replace Windows Vista. Fiji, on the other hand, will be an intermediate update that will basically bring a new version of Media Center to Vista users. There's no official word on when Fiji will be released, but it could be out by the end of this year.
Participants in the private beta are bound by a pretty strict non-disclosure agreement, which is why it's been difficult to get any real information about the beta. But if anyone feels like sharing some info feel free to hit the tips link at the top of this page.
Microsoft adds TV shows to Zune Marketplace
You know how Apple's iTunes store was once music only, and then the company added TV and movies? Yeah, replace the word Apple with Microsoft and you've pretty much got today's news. Well most of it, anyway. Microsoft has rolled out an updated version of its Zune Marketplace software. And while movies are nowhere to be seen, there are about 800 episodes from popular TV shows available for purchase at $1.99 a pop.
Titles include South Park, The Office, Heroes, 30 Rock, Battlestar Galactica, Eureka, Robot Chicken, and Rock of Love. All of the shows are from NBC Universal, MTV, or Turner. While the pricing in competitive with Apple's iTunes Store, it'd be nice to see a slightly larger content library. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if the networks currently on board sell a decent number of TV episodes, we'll see other networks join soon enough.
CBS adds TV classics to web line up
Like the NBC fodder, the CBS offering is gangbusters: full-length episodes of classic Star Trek, Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, MacGyver, Hawaii Five-O and Melrose Place. CBS plans to add more programs and clips in the coming months, including sports and other kinds of entertainment.
Disney-ABC will sell TV shows on Xbox Live
This move is yet another step in putting a ubiquitous entertainment console in the living room. Not that this is a bad thing. Some of the content will be available in HD, despite the fact that Microsoft is not offering HD-DVD in the console. Maybe they're going Blu-ray?
Microsoft combines IPTV, HD-DVD, and Media Center divisions
On the other hand, you would have thought that a company that is focusing as heavily on digital technology for the living room would have already had a strategy for coordinating its various entertainment divisions. But until a few months ago, separate teams were responsible for IPTV, HD-DVD, and Windows Media Center developments.
I think that's the sort of discoordination that leads a company to launch a new software feature called "Internet TV" that is essentially just a 10-foot interface for MSN Video while Microsoft had a team of people working on providing actual TV through Internet protocols. I'm not saying that Microsoft should deliver IPTV solutions for free to Windows Vista Media Center users, but if you're going to call something "TV", perhaps you should provide more than just 3 seasons of the brilliant but canceled Arrested Development. Otherwise, just call that ta what it is: Internet Video.
Is Microsoft planning a new Xbox 360 with an HDTV tuner?
Sony has already announced plant to launch a TV-tuner add-on for the PS3 that will turn the system into a PVR complete with a hard drive, electronic program guide, and the ability to watch and record live TV. Now it looks like there's talk that Microsoft may issue an updated version of the Xbox 360 with an HDTV tuner as well.
The new unit would reportedly have an HD-DVD drive built in. Right now you need to buy an external device if you want to use your Xbox 360 to watch HD-DVD movies. Sony's PS3 has an internal Blu-Ray drive, which is one of the reasons the video game system launched at a significantly higher price than the Xbox 360 (or any other video game console in history). But with the cost of next generation DVD players coming down, it's getting cheaper to build HD video support directly into a gaming console.
Maybe one day we'll stop calling them game consoles and begin referring to them as entertainment systems. Even though I don't play games very often, for the right price, I'd be willing to buy a single box that can watch and record TV, play music, movies, internet video, and video games.

Microsoft releases software update for new media extenders
The update is available for Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate users. There's no word on what the update actually entails, but Microsoft describes it as enabling support for "new types of Windows Media Center Extenders, such as digital televisions and networked DVD players."
That certainly makes it sound like there's no reason to download the update if you're using an Xbox 360 right now. But if you have a chance to try it out, let us know if you notice any changes in the Xbox 360 extender interface or performance.

Xface skin for Media Portal combines best of Apple and Microsoft UI
The Xface skin borrows heavily from Apple's coverflow style. And the play/pause, fast forward/rewind buttons look an awful lot like the buttons in Windows Media Center 11. But copyright issues aside, the interface is sleek and offers a visually interesting and useful way to organize your movies, music, and photos.
On the other hand, this isn't the first time we've seen Media Portal developers rip off graphics from other products. But we're betting Apple and Microsoft lawyers might be too busy to take notice of Media Portal with its relatively small number of users. Still, we'd recommend redoing the media control buttons.
[via Missing Remote]
More info on Microsoft Internet TV
Here's the good news: It looks pretty cool and dramatically increases the amount of internet video you can access from within the Windows Vista Media Center interface. Here's the bad news: The content is only kind of interesting.
While we were hoping to see Microsoft take on Joost and VeohTV here by offering full length streaming episodes of TV, so far the only content you can access is the same material available via MSN Video. That means the only TV series you can watch is Arrested Development and while there's a movies section, it currently includes nothing but trailers.
There are full length music concerts, and links to content from various TV networks. But again, most of what you get are clips, not full length episodes.
Internet TV launches tomorrow as a public beta, so there's a chance that Microsoft will sign up new partners before the official launch. But when your public beta is not just available to all users, but actually pushed out to their machines, the line between beta and full release is kind of blurry.
Microsoft launches Internet TV for Windows Media Center
Windows Media Center already includes an online showcase section with access from content providers like Comedy Central, VH1, and MTV. But for the most part, those sites already have video content on their websites, and have simply designed a Media Center interface for accessing that video with your remote. Internet TV beta is a whole new platform for watching online video.
Microsoft adding internet TV to Windows Media Center
Engadget managed to get a few details about the upcoming service, but it looks like we'll have more to tell you on September 27th when Microsoft launches the service at Digital Life.
Here's what we know so far. The platform will feature on-demand advertising supported content in categories including Sports, Entertainment, News, Top Picks, Music, and Movies. The video will not be HD quality, but it should be better than standard definition, which means it should look great on an old fashioned TV and hopefully passable on your HDTV.
With Microsoft building Media Center capabilities into Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate, ad-supported online video seems like a great way for the software company to make a few extra bucks. Depending on the content available, it might also be a way for consumers to save a few bucks on their cable bills.
But while we can hardly wait to see this feature for ourselves, we remain a bit skeptical. For example, just because one of the categories is titled "Movies" doesn't mean you'll be able to watch ad-supported new releases, or even hits from yesteryear. It could just be a library of movie trailers.
Niveus media center extender makes an appearance
We have to say, it looks a bit on the large side for a device that's primarily meant to connect the TV in your living room to the media center PC in your office. Up until now, the only media center extender that worked with Windows Vista was the Xbox 360. And although it's hard to gauge from the pictures, Niveus's new offering looks to be about the same size as an Xbox. In fact, if you squint just the right way, it appears there's even an X pattern on top of the box.
As Ian Dixon points out, if you take a look at Engadget's photos, you'll also notice that the interface does not look like a Windows Media Center interface. It's not clear if that means Niveus has designed custom software for the box, or if Microsoft might have a few other details about the v2 extender platform that they forgot to mention.
Update: And as Chris Lanier points out, it looks like Engadget got confused and showed screenshots of the Niveus Companion software.
Microsoft announces Media Center support for 4 CableCards
As you would expect, a machine capable of recording 4 HDTV shows is not going to come cheap. Niveus and Exceptional Innovation are the first two companies to offer support for quadrupling your pleasure. Neither company is known for making entry level devices.
Niveus will make systems that can work with multiple external tuners, while Exceptional Innovation will make a monster machine like the one shown above with four internal slots. EI is showing off a sample at the CEDIA expo.
Microsoft also plans to announce new partners for its media center extenders at CEDIA tomorrow. Up until now, the Xbox 360 has been the only media extender device that works with Windows Vista. CEPro reports that Microsoft will show off two devices from new partners tomorrow. No word on who those partners are.

Microsoft seeks patent that lets your TV watch you
But what if you leave your TiVo or TV playing and get up to leave the room altogether? Microsoft thinks they may have the answer.
The company has applied for a patent that would use cameras, biometric sensors, and other tools to determine if you're sitting in front of the TV. Or if your wife, or kid, or other identifiable person is.

Have You Heard
Have You Heard About... Hello, Frisco, Hello
… the 1943 romantic, musical comedy set in San Francisco's Barbary Coast at the turn of the 19th century? In Hello, Frisco, Hello, a talented singing foursome is fired for being so good at a dance hall that the customers stop drinking their beer to just watch and listen to them. The story line is about what happens during their rise to fame and fortune, and the downfall that follows.
Starring the beautiful Alice Faye, the handsome John Payne, and the comedic talents of the wonderful Jack Oakie and June Havoc, this film might seem a little bit corny by today's movie going public, but it's pure magic for those who remember the good old days. It features the Oscar winning song "You'll Never Know" and has a spectacular roller skating number that you just have to see. Be sure to watch the "Re-making of Alice Faye" in the special features also.
If you've never seen this classic, pick it up now for a good evening of pure entertainment that's free with your library card.

Have You Heard About... Lamb
… the stories of Jesus' life that didn't make it into the Bible? Christopher Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal goes far beyond the Apocrypha. It focuses on the period of Jesus' life that is not covered by the Gospels, as well as his later life and crucifixion, telling the "real" story of the man who was Christ. Biff accompanies his friend as Jesus tries to learn how to become the Messiah he is meant to be, adding comic relief and fast wits that get them out of almost as much trouble as he gets them into.
This highly irreverent and wonderfully funny novel manages to poke fun at almost every major religion in the world, not just Christianity. However, the point seems to be more identifying and exposing the inherent humor in religion, rather than attacking it. The sacrilege and crass humor hide a surprising number of serious ideas which may make you think, once you stop laughing.

Have You Heard About... Cherries in Winter
…how to get through hard times? In Cherries in Winter: My Family's Recipe for Hope in Hard Times, Suzan Colón writes with candor of her family history in hard times and includes a few wonderful, old fashioned, stick-to-your-ribs recipes. This book is a history of sorts on how her family survived the Depression, with a 'make do, can do, and we'll survive attitude' that is relevant today. This book is not so much of what has happened in the past, but of how Suzan copes with the present day economy and the loss of her job through reading her grandmother's cookbook and journal.
If you remember the hard times of the Depression, the 2000/2001 recession, or are just going through a rough patch financially, this extraordinary book is for you. Told with laughter and a few tears, this short read is wonderfully in tune with today. One of the highlights in the book is about mashed potatoes – how they were made way back when and how Suzan makes them now is a hoot. If you miss the humor in it, you need to go back and start at the beginning of the chapter. This book makes you feel like you can do anything you really set you mind to. I loved it!

Have You Heard About... Miracle
… Christmas with a twist? Connie Willis collects eight of her short stories to make Miracle, and other Christmas stories. These stories take a slightly twisted look at the holiday season, both religious and secular. Mary and Joseph take a wrong turn through a modern church on the way to Bethlehem. People get what they truly want for Christmas, whether they know it or not. A self-centered, impatient, manipulative man gets what he deserves. An odd trio has their own epiphanies and search for the second coming of Christ.
Most of the stories have a fantasy, horror, or science fiction angle, although where the line between magic and miracle falls will depend on the reader. Connie Willis ends the collection with her recommendation of twelve things to read and twelve things to watch this Christmas. This is one of the books I frequently re-read in December to remind myself of what Christmas is really about, what it should be about, and how much worse my family and work-place gatherings could be (even without alien invaders).

Have You Heard About... Murder Unleashed
… the latest murders in Reno Nevada? Straight from today's newspaper headlines, Murder Unleashed* by Rita Mae Brown tells an intriguing story about today's banking crisis and all of the homes that are in foreclosure, specifically in Reno Nevada.
Jeep and her niece Mags need to find out what's going on and how they can help. What happens when squatters move into these abandoned homes? The local politico who's running for Congress is murdered because of his views on these squatters, but what does the banking industry in Reno have to do with it? The mystery is a little bit thin and relatively easy to figure out, though it is somewhat of a surprise to those involved. The second mystery that runs throughout the book has to do with a hidden treasure, and this is where the four-footed companions of Jeep and Mags come into the story.
* I highly recommend that you read the first book in this series, A Nose for Justice, although at the start of this book it gives a wonderful description of all of the characters.

Have You Heard About... Masters of Deception
… the tricks artists can play on your eyes and your mind? Al Seckel looks at several artists whose works are more than they seem in Masters of Deception: Escher, Dali & the Artists of Optical Illusion.
The illusions in this book vary, including progressive changes like the one on the cover, composite portraits, trompe l'oeil, sculptures that look completely different depending on the viewpoint, and much more. Only a few examples of each person's work are included, but they are excellent examples and beautifully presented. In addition, the author explains how the illusions work and the artists' importance. The text is nearly as eye-opening as the art itself!

Have You Heard About... Stomp Live
… the group that can make music out of anything? Stomp Live is an awesome DVD! As the title implies, anything that makes some type of noise is part of this wonderful production. Hands, feet, brooms, Zippo lighters, beer cans and even the kitchen sink can be used to make music.
The co-ordination and physical strength of the cast is amazing. Facial expressions are a big part of what make this video funny. Think improvisation. When you think it's over, keep watching until you get a black screen for at least 2 minutes or you'll miss the very ending.
Two of my favorite parts were the use of newspaper to be annoying and how to make music with the kitchen sink. This DVD is not to be missed.

Have You Heard About... Chicken Cheeks
…the beginning of the ends? Michael Ian Black and Kevin Hawkes' Chicken Cheeks takes a straight-forward look at the backside of a variety of animals. As the animals stack themselves into a tower, children will learn their names and socially-acceptable terms for their hind ends. From "duck tail" through "polar bear derriere" and "toucan can" to "duck-billed platypus gluteus maximus," the pile of critters (and bottoms) grows to an exciting conclusion.
This book is a favorite with both adults and children in my family. The animals are depicted in a colorful, slightly-cartoony style with wonderfully expressive faces and bodies. The text is limited to the names of animals and hind ends, but the pictures do a perfect job of telling the short story. After the first read, watch for the ants on each page!

Have You Heard About... My Lucky Life
… acclaimed actor Dick Van Dyke? You can read all about him in his new memoir, My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business. Simply and to the point, Dick Van Dyke writes like he talks. Yes, he was incredibly lucky to be in the right place at the right time for his career, but he did have several personal problems, like alcoholism and an addiction to cigarettes, that this biography deals with in a straightforward way.
The insightful information on his TV/movie roles and how he felt about his co-stars was very interesting. He talks about how he met his idols Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton. He mentions several of his famous friends – not in a gossipy way, but matter-of-factly, which I really enjoyed reading about.
This was a wonderful memoir by a truly American Icon.

Have You Heard About... The Lies of Locke Lamora
… the greatest thief who ever lived? In The Lies of Locke Lamora*, Scott Lynch brings to life a surreal world of con artists and thieves. This world holds great treasures and shocking dangers, nobles and assassins, magic both beautiful and deadly. Locke Lamora's band poses as petty thieves to avoid attention, but the entire city talks about his alter-ego, the Thorn of Camorr, and how he swindles and embarrasses the nobles. Locke is no Robin Hood, however; he is in this solely for the profits of his gang … and the Thorn's reputation as the best con artist and thief. Unfortunately, that pride in his abilities and reputation may prove to be Locke's undoing.
The action rarely pauses in this detailed novel. Scott Lynch has filled his alien world with rich descriptions of the sights, sounds, and even smells that surround the merry gang of con artists. Dark humor, fantasy, and gritty danger are deftly mixed as Locke takes on nobles, guards, other thieves, and even his friends. The web of intrigue, plots, and counter-plots can be dizzying, but it is worth following through to the end.

Charlotte Yuen
Charlotte Yuen is an English Literature and Music graduate. She describes her work with the National Dance Company Wales and her current role with Askonas Holt, a leading arts management agency.
Almost immediately after graduating, I got a temporary position with Cardiff
University's public relations and communications department and worked with the web team on revamping the university's website. It taught me some useful skills, particularly how to use a CMS and very basic html; these skills have come in handy in my subsequent jobs.
I only spent four weeks with the web team as I was lucky enough to get a position with the National Dance Company Wales (formerly Diversions) in that time.
At NDCW, I was Executive Assistant. I was actually very close to not applying for it as the job description implied that it was not for a fresh graduate. I did not even tick all the boxes under 'essential skills and experience'! However, I am interested in dance (I started ballet lessons aged 4.5 and only stopped when I went to university) and thought I had nothing to lose. It just goes to show that it cannot hurt to try. (My former lecturers will probably tell you that I am not one to admit defeat easily!)
NDCW was a great company to work for, but after a while, I realised that I wanted to go back to a musical environment, so I started looking at and applying for jobs again, this time concentrating on London. I wanted to stay in Cardiff when I left university because a lot of my friends were there, I knew the city and it was cheaper to live there than to move immediately. For music, however, London really is the epicentre. There is also more competition for good jobs; I think it took me 6-7 months to land one, but when I did, I knew it was the right one. So, after 18 months at NDCW and 4.5 years in Cardiff, I moved to London to join Askonas Holt, a leading artist management agency. I've been here for nearly three years.
My jobs both involve going to performances, which I enjoy doing immensely. It is always a privilege to see artists at work, and sometimes I feel spoilt that I get to see world-class performances and get to know the people behind the artistry.
The job also involves quite a lot of travelling and few things are as exciting and heartwarming as witnessing a young artist's debut at the Vienna Musikverein, playing the Brahms concerto of all things
More specifically, at NDCW, the highlights were definitely being part of the company's 25th anniversary celebration. At AH, I started taking on more artist management responsibilities around 15 months ago so I would consider every achievement in furthering an artist's career a highlight.
The job also involves quite a lot of travelling and few things are as exciting and heartwarming as witnessing a young artist's debut at the Vienna Musikverein, playing the Brahms concerto of all things! It sounds cheesy, but it is immensely uplifting to share in an artist's happiness after a successful performance. These can sometimes take on a pseudo-religious dimension; the first ever performance of Schubert's String Quintet at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms comes to mind.
One of the best things about the School of Music is that there are always
opportunities. I really wanted to perform a piano concerto before leaving
university, and when I decided to put on a charity concert to make that
possible, I received a lot of support and encouragement, be it from students (a lot of whom were and still are good friends), the teaching and support staff (the porters and librarians were life-savers!) and, of course, my piano teacher Chris Williams. This was admittedly a very mad thing to do in one's final year, but the opportunity was there and I would have kicked myself very hard had I not done it.
It probably comes as no surprise to hear that I was a Lunchtime Concert
Co-ordinator in my second year. It certainly kept me busy but it also
allowed me to get to know a lot of the students better.
Academically, the highlight has to be the process of researching and
writing my dissertation. It was very satisfying and illuminating to really
delve into a topic I wanted to know more about. The amount of knowledge
within the School is incredible, and it was wonderful to be able to explore
my chosen topic with the teaching staff, particularly my dissertation tutor
Professor John Tyrrell. I am proud of what I achieved, but in a way, I also wish the word limit was not 10,000...
University is what a student makes of it. If a student likes what he / she reads in the prospectus and forms a positive impression from a visit (on an open day or otherwise), then by all means, apply! I am slightly old-fashioned in that I think one's time at university should primarily be about education, so the academic side of things should take precedence, and the School is a place which recognises and rewards hard work. It is also when you completely immerse yourself in the environment that you can discover what opportunities there are.
Describe the School in three words?
Friendly, knowledgeable, busy!

Development and Implementation of the Strategic Plan
The 2010-2011 academic year marked the start of a new, University-wide strategic planning cycle at SLU. The goal was to develop and implement a recursive planning process via which faculty, staff and students continually establish and refine institutional priorities that, in turn, drive programmatic and financial decision-making throughout the University. Strategic Planning initiatives will complement and, whenever possible, be integrated with efforts conducted in preparation for University re-accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission.
The first step in the process was to develop an institutional statement to frame the work of faculty, staff and students throughout the planning process. The "Strategic Planning Framing Document" was authored by a "Think Tank" of SLU faculty throughout the Fall 2010 term, and published to the University community in December 2010. This document reaffirms the University's mission, acknowledges our strengths, highlights key global challenges that contextualize the mission and goals in the future, and, finally identifies some key opportunities.
The Framing Document was approved by the Think Tank and the University's Executive Staff. It was also presented to the President's Coordinating Council (which includes faculty, staff, and student representatives), the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, and the Council of Academic Deans and Directors. You may access the document via the following link:
2010-2011 Strategic Plan Framing Document
With this guiding framework in place, in spring 2011 the Vice President for Academic affairs commenced discussion on the St. Louis campus regarding several key planning-related topics: the characteristics of Jesuit education, faculty evaluation (i.e., teaching effectiveness, research/scholarly productivity/impact, and service contributions/impact), and academic administrator evaluation. Similar conversations have been ongoing in Madrid, where the faculty and administration turn to St. Louis counterparts for direction and adapt criteria to both the academic culture and employment conditions in Spain. Committees composed of faculty, staff/administrators, and students studied these topics and sought out best practices throughout the year. The resulting committee reports were distributed University-wide in November 2011 and presented in an open forum on the St. Louis campus. Feedback received at the forum and via email provided guidance to the committees in revising their reports and recommendations.
Concurrently, the academic deans and vice presidents developed Process Enneagrams to both begin strategic planning for their units and to form the basis for institution-wide discussion and planning. The Process Enneagram is a tool that can be used to review an organization's current state, consider its desired state, and identify what needs to be done to move the organization from its current to desired state. It reflects an organization as a living system, with numerous, dynamic connections, the interplay of which is crucial to the organization's well being.
In 2011, to further clarify the President's vision of making Saint Louis University the finest Catholic University in the nation, the University's Executive Staff Committee adopted the University's Strategic Intent to be recognized among the Top 50 universities in the U.S. In June 2011, the Executive Staff Committee and all academic deans participated in a planning retreat which resulted in the development of draft versions of: (1) a revised set of Strategic Directions (echoing the 2001 Strategic Plan), (2) Strategic Planning Operating Principles, and (3) Performance Standards. Finally, a Strategic Planning Subcommittee of the Executive Staff Committee developed a list of Critical Success Factors that could be linked with the Strategic Directions.
The first complete draft of the FY 2013-2017 University-Level Strategic Plan was endorsed by the Executive Staff Committee in October 2011. Thereafter, the Plan was reviewed by various stakeholder groups, edited, and approved by the President's Coordinating Council on November 15, 2011. Next, the President made some editorial changes and approved the Plan on December 6, 2011. The updated Plan was approved by the University's Board of Trustees on December 10, 2011.
The first draft of unit-level strategic plans/initiatives and performance goals, consistent with the University-level Strategic Plan, will be developed by April 1, 2012. The University-level Strategic Plan and the Unit-level strategic plans will be reviewed collectively for coherence and consistency, appropriate changes will be made, and the plans will be presented to the respective committees of the Board at the May 2012 meeting. Thereafter, all the Unit-level plans/updates will be reviewed annually by the respective committees of the Board and the University-level Strategic Plan will be reviewed by the full Board of Trustees at its annual May meeting until further notice. The iterative planning process is shown below.
Benchmarking, identified as Operating Principle #1 in the University Strategic Plan, is a significant facet of the new planning process and has begun in the academic and administrative units in both St. Louis and Madrid. A benchmarking process framework, developed by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and approved by the Executive Staff Committee, was implemented in spring 2011. Units are to determine performance indicators to benchmark and then identify other institutions (competitor, peer, national aspirational, and global aspirational) against which they can benchmark themselves with those indicators in their pursuit of excellence. Units have the latitude to determine their respective indicators as well as benchmark institutions. Hence, while the process is a standard one, it acknowledges disciplinary differences. Faculty and staff are encouraged and expected to communicate their observations, questions, and suggestions through their department administrators, governance bodies, and the committees formed to address specific aspects of the process.
The Top 50 goal and benchmarking require the establishment of performance metrics, the assessment of progress, and the alignment of reward systems with performance. It is anticipated that budget priorities will emerge from the process, providing clear direction for resource allocation through the University's budget process. Regular and continuous assessment of priorities is built into the process. July 1, 2018-the year of the University's 200th anniversary-is targeted as the date by which this goal will be achieved. The component steps and initial timeline of the process were summarized in presentations made to the faculty by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, again in open fora, and subsequently distributed via e-mail.

So, I passed the exam, then I go to the "what happens next tab". It states that it takes Florida 8 to 10 weeks to record the scores and issue license numbers, wall certs. Etc .. Does that mean I have to wait another two months just to get a license number, or is this total time. At this rate, I may have a license number by mid April!
Same way in Missouri. Should be getting a license number and everything in 2-3 weeks. It sucks....but at least the hard part is done.

Returning ivories
The remarkable story of conservation and repatriation of the Begram Ivories. Excavated in the 1930s, the ivories were part of the collection of the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul but went missing during the unrest in Afghanistan. They re-emerged in 2010 and have been conserved at the British Museum. The ivories will soon be returned to the National Museum of Afghanistan.

|Neuromyelitis optica in a patient with pemphigus foliaceus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22632778 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Neuromyelitis optica (NMO, also eponymously known as Devic's disease) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that can lead to significant disability. Pediatric NMO is a rare disorder often reported after an infection. The authors report a 16 year-old female patient with pemphigus foliaceus who developed subacute optic neuritis followed by cervical transverse myelitis. Restricted distribution of the lesions in the optic nerve and spinal cord was confirmed by ophthalmological evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord. She was started on intravenous methylprednisolone and then given a maintenance oral prednisone. Subsequently, she was treated with a nonsteroidal immunosuppressant, mycophenolate mofetil, with a target dose of 1000 mg twice a day. Over the course of months, patient noted significant recovery of previous deficits and resolution of the cervical cord enhancement, expansion and cystic dilatation that was previously seen. This case is noteworthy for being the first patient reported with neuromyelitis optica associated with pemphigus foliaceus.

Hyporheic hydrodynamics are a control on stream ecosystems, yet we lack a thorough understanding of catchment controls on these flow paths, including valley constraint and hydraulic gradients in the valley bottom. We performed four whole-stream solute tracer injections under steady state flow conditions at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest (Oregon, United States) and collected electrical resistivity (ER) imaging to directly quantify the 2-D spatial extent of hyporheic exchange through seasonal base flow recession. ER images provide spatially distributed information that is unavailable for stream solute transport modeling studies from monitoring wells alone. The lateral and vertical extent of the hyporheic zone was quantified using both ER images and spatial moment analysis. Results oppose the common conceptual model of hyporheic "compression'' by increased lateral hydraulic gradients toward the stream. We found that the extent of the hyporheic zone increased with decreasing vertical gradients away from the stream, in contrast to expectations from conceptual models. Increasing hyporheic extent was observed with both increasing and decreasing down-valley (i.e., parallel to the valley gradient) and cross-valley (i.e., from the hillslope to the stream, perpendicular to the valley gradient) hydraulic gradients. We conclude that neither cross-valley nor down-valley hydraulic gradients are sufficient predictors of hyporheic exchange flux nor flow path network extent. Increased knowledge of the controls on hyporheic exchange, the temporal dynamics of exchange flow paths, and their the spatial distribution is the first step toward predicting hyporheic exchange at the scale of individual flow paths. Future studies need to more carefully consider interactions between spatiotemporally dynamic hydraulic gradients and subsurface architecture as controls on hyporheic exchange.

Lincoln, Neb.-- For a group of Nebraskans Saturday morning was about remembering their veteran family members who have fallen.
Dozens of people honored their loved ones with song, prayers and a candle lighting ceremony at the Veteran Affairs auditorium in Lincoln.
One audience member, Leeann David honored her dad, Carl. He passed away on July 29, 2013.
Davis says her dad always thought of other people before himself and considered Carl her personal hero.
"I think of my dad every minute, I own my own restaurant in Kansas and a lot of the food that I cook my I hear my dad's voice, always," said Davis.
Carl was in the Air Force in the Korean War.

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. –The Lipscomb women's golf team wrapped up the 2014 campaign with a ninth place finish in the 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship on the Pine Lakes Course at the Jekyll Island Golf Club in Jekyll Island.
The Lady Bisons posted a three-round 961 (312, 331, 318) to finish six shots behind eighth place Northern Kentucky.
Sophomore Miriam Parker led the way for the Lady Bisons with a plus-14, 230. Parker opened with a one-over par 73 in round one and recorded four birdies in the process. In a rain-soaked second round that was stretched over two days, the Madison, Miss. native struggled to find her swing and shot an 11-over, 83. But Parker was able to find her stroke in the third and final round to card a two-over par 74 and finished tied for 16th.
Senior Savanna Schubert posted a three-round total of 242 in her final A-Sun Championship. Schubert finished in a tie for 35th after posting rounds of 77-86-79.
Senior MacKenzy Carter and junior Sami Khan finished just behind Schubert, each scoring a tournament total of 246 and finishing in a tie for 39th. Carter shot rounds of 80-81-85.
Khan shot her low round of the tournament in the third round with an 80, after scoring an 82 in round one and an 84 in round two.
Sarah McFarlin rounded out the Lady Bisons with a 50th place finish. The junior posted 89-83-87 for a 259 three-round total.
ETSU, ranked No. 45 in the GolfStat rankings, claimed the 2014 A-Sun Championship with a plus-nine, 896 (300, 299, 297) eight shots ahead of Kennesaw State. ETSU's Vivienne Chin finished with a 219 (+3) and took home the top individual honor with rounds of 74-72-73.

A few weeks ago, DeLand won "Best Other Downtown" from The Orlando Sentinel. This is all well and good—hip, hip, hoorah and all that—but Deland shouldn't have won.
I was in Mount Dora the weekend before voting finished for a half marathon and it was awesome. The downtown itself is aesthetically pleasing and there are a variety of shops and restaurants offering options for patrons. You know what else is great about Mount Dora's (and I'm suspecting many other towns that did not make it to the finals) downtown? It is open at night.
Mount Dora should've won. They should've, but they didn't, I'm guessing, because of sheer population.
DeLand isn't worthy of the title of "Best Other Downtown" unless that constitutes a downtown that closes when the early bird specials start.
On any given night, my roommate and I, or my girlfriend and I, or any other combination thereof, might decide we want to go out for a meal. Depending on the time, we're limited severely. Tony's closes at 9, Taco Amigo, it seems, is open for three hours a week that are chosen by reading tea leaves, and Santorini also closes pretty early.
What about late night food? What if I want to eat fried food or get pizza that wasn't previously frozen at 10:00 or 11:00 at night while watching sports? A diet subsisting of only Checkers will lead to an early grave. I don't need to participate in that diet to know it.
It isn't only the food, though (admittedly, the food options fare much better than anything else), but the stores themselves. I'm not saying they need to be open until midnight, but staying open past 5 p.m. would, I think, do wonders for the downtown because people would have a reason to come get dinner then do shopping. What's there to do after one gets dinner in DeLand currently? You can maybe see a show at the Athens or you can go to a bar. That's it.
In addition, if stores were open later, that would, oh, I don't know, possibly provide jobs for students in town? What a novel idea. Bring more people in, support the students that live in town.
From there, the downtown may look more enticing for other businesses or restaurants and hey, maybe sometime in the future, DeLand may really be able to earn "Best Other Downtown."

This man is amazing! I had two knee replacements at Tri Citi Hosp. in 2007 Both were badly installed but the r. knee was by far the worst! After 6 years and 6 Drs. Dr Santore and his partner Dr Sechriest Did a replacement of the defective unit! After a 4 day stay at Sharps Hospital I am home and now how recovery is supposed to feel! Theses guys are fantastic!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2463595].votes_count ]]
Dr. Santore is an amazing doctor. He walked me through my lifelong condition of hip dysplasia. He presented me with the information in a very intelligent but friendly manner. I would recommend Dr. Santore to anyone looking for an excellent ortho surgeon. He spent close to an hour with me on my first visit and pre-op appointment to make sure all my questions were answered.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2065913].votes_count ]]
Dr. Santore is extremely knowledgable and makes sure you know what all your options are and what is going on with your condition. The most intelligent doctor I have ever had, but makes you feel comfortable at the same time. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

|Grimtotem Horn (20)
DescriptionWhat!? You came across tauren in the area? You're joking! What did they look like!?
The Grimtotem clan! You found some of them? Belgrom, one of our masters, has an interest in their kind... he's even put a bounty on them.
You have to go back, <class>. Go back and bring me their horns... piles of them if you can. The Grimtotem are not to be trifled with or underestimated. Go back and slay them; let the rivers in Feralas run red with their dark blood.
Take my words seriously, <class>, the Grimtotem clan is evil. If you've found their whereabouts, then it's up to you to return and strike the first blow against their clan... before they can come into our own lands and raze our own villages, or pilfer our lands.
These are good horns, <class>. Well done. I'll take these from you and be sure to tell Belgrom as soon as we return to Orgrimmar. You've helped me twice now, and for that, you have my mark. Perhaps in the future I can help you! Good luck to you.

The funniest part of this video is that DJs will actually use the Lil Jon drop in their mix. The Lonely Island released a new digital short over the weekend on Saturday Night Live.
It features funny man Andy Samburg as 'The DJ'. Basically, the clip makes fun of EDM DJs and what they really do on stage, not to mention how much money they make.

Your home's humidity typically goes down during the winter months when cold outside air is much drier than in the summer, and forced-air heating further removes moisture from the indoor air. This can reduce indoor comfort levels while making the home more difficult to heat (since moist air feels warmer than dry air). This leads to some serious issues that can negatively affect your health and home life. Increasing moisture in your home's air will improve both your health and comfort, while also reducing your energy bills.
Dry Air Side Effects
Dry air can cause a wide array of unpleasant health effects. Dry air pulls moisture from your body, causing dehydration, and leaves your skin, eyes and throat dry and itchy. It also will aggravate respiratory complications. Dry air can boost influenza and cold transmission, allowing viruses and bacteria to spread quicker from one person to another. Furthermore, low humidity levels cause the temperature in your home feel colder than in a properly humidified home. Since you feel colder, you naturally turn the heat up, which increases your energy costs. Thankfully, humidifiers can replace moisture in the air.
Benefits of Humidifiers
- Better skin care – Dry air steals moisture from your eyes, throat, skin and lips, leaving them chapped and dry.
- No more static shock – Dry air creates the perfect environment for static electricity buildup. If you add moisture to the air, you will reduce the amount of static electricity in your home.
- Better quality of sleep – The right humidity level will allow you to sleep more soundly at night.
- Recover from the common cold more rapidly – The proper amount of humidity in the air helps your body fight off colds more quickly.
- Reduce the amount of dust in the air – Dry air causes dust to rise instead of settling on surfaces.
- Improve air quality – When breathed in, dry air makes transferring oxygen to your blood system more difficult, which will result in you feeling tired, sick and fatigued.
