Welcome to the Hebrew program at USC, which is run by faculty in the Louchhheim School for Judaic Studies at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion. Whether you are interested in Hebrew courses to satisfy your language requirement or because of personal or professional interest, you will find what you need at USC.
About Hebrew
Hebrew is an ancient Semitic language. The earliest Hebrew texts date from the second millennium B.C.E., and the Jewish Bible was written in Hebrew. Evidence suggests that the Israelite tribes who conquered and settled Canaan spoke an early form of Hebrew. After Jews were exiled from the Land of Israel in the 6th century B.C.E., Hebrew began to disappear as an everyday vernacular, though it was still preserved as the central language for Jewish prayers and holy texts and as a lingua franca among Jewish communities around the world.
In the 19th century, Jews from European and Middle Eastern countries revived Hebrew as a modern spoken and written language. Hebrew is now the official language of Israel, with 8 million speakers around the world. Israel is an amalgam of ancient and modern, East and West, religious and secular, conservative and liberal – a society that is vibrant, dynamic, and active far beyond what the population's numbers would predict. The state is a member of the exclusive Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has hundreds of companies listed on Nasdaq, and its expertise, technology, humanitarian assistance, and defense strategies are utilized by countries on every continent.
Whether your interest is in the ancient or modern Middle East, or in Jewish tradition, Hebrew is an essential language. In our courses, you will gain access to Hebrew conversation and literacy, and you will find a personal connection that is meaningful to you.
USC Hebrew courses
USC offers four courses in Hebrew language. Most students in the Dornsife College of Arts, Letters, and Sciences have a three semester language requirement; some majors require four semesters. Hebrew is a perfect choice for many heritage speakers, students who have studied Hebrew in the past, students who are interested in the Middle East, or students who wish to explore religion, history, and culture. Students can take the Hebrew courses in sequence or place into one of the higher-level courses by taking the Hebrew language assessment. The assessment process has two parts – oral and written – and is administered through the Louchheim Jewish Studies program. Contact the JS office to schedule a placement assessment: firstname.lastname@example.com or 213-765-2113. Please get in touch at least three weeks before the semester begins.
HEBR 120, Hebrew I
This course focuses on the acquisition of proficiency and communicative skills (speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension), as well as cultural literacy. Students will acquire familiarity with the sound system and structure of Hebrew and use basic communication skills in simulated situations. Students will master reading and writing in the Hebrew alphabet, and they will read and listen to a variety of written and oral texts relating primarily to their own lives.
HEBR 150, Hebrew II
A continuation of Hebrew 120, this course offers a higher level of skill development in reading, writing, and conversation. Students will be introduced to linguistic and cultural elements that are essential to conducting short conversations, including describing themselves and their family, shopping for clothing, talking about the weather and seasons, making travel arrangements, and exploring Israel. Students will also be introduced to the history of the Hebrew language.
HEBR 220, Hebrew III
In this course students gain better control over communication skills introduced in Hebrew 120 and Hebrew 150, expanding their repertoire to include a broader range of conversation topics and tasks, greater sophistication and complexity of expressions, and ability to participate in real-life oral and written scenarios. Students will also learn about the past and present of the Hebrew language and its relationship to the history of Israel.
HEBR 315, Modern Hebrew Language (Hebrew IV)
This course examines Modern Hebrew language in depth and introduces students to Modern Hebrew literature through major poems, novels, and films from the 19th through 21st centuries. Students deepen their fluency by unpacking the nuances of spoken and written Hebrew.
Professor Hagit Arieli-Chai, a native Israeli, is the coordinator of Hebrew studies for the Louchheim School for Judaic Studies at USC. She specializes in language acquisition and language proficiency at different levels using authentic material for teaching Modern Hebrew. She is trained by ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) as an oral language tester.
Please contact the Jewish studies office for questions related to the Hebrew language assessment process and/or to set up an assessment appointment (email@example.com or 213-765-2113). For other questions about studying Hebrew, you can reach Professor Arieli-Chai by email.
Study Abroad in Israel
USC undergraduates may spend a year or spring semester at Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJ). The program begins with a three-week pre-semester period of intensive Hebrew language study. Study abroad students are based at HUJ's Rothberg International School (RIS), where the medium of instruction is English. USC students take a semester-long Hebrew language course and English-taught courses at RIS in fields such as archaeology, art history, environmental studies, history, international relations, Jewish and religious studies, Middle East and Islamic studies, literature, political science, neuroscience, and psychology. Students may also take Arabic or Yiddish at RIS. Although most regular HUJ courses are taught in Hebrew, there are well over a dozen regular HUJ courses offered in English. All USC students are required to take at least one regular HUJ course taught in English (or in Hebrew for students with advanced language ability). Students live in campus dormitories and may participate in a variety of social and cultural activities at the university. Students must have completed two semesters of college-level Hebrew or the equivalent to participate in this program. You can find more information about the program and how to apply from the Office of Overseas Studies.
Several websites offer a wealth of educational material about Hebrew language and culture that helps students gain proficiency in reading, speaking, and listening. Here are some of our favorites:

Jihadists claim Syria attacks
BEIRUT An al-Qaida-inspired group claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks across Syria, the latest evidence that extremists are exploiting the chaos to make inroads in another Middle Eastern country.
The Syrian regime has long blamed terrorists for the 16-month-old revolt, and the presence of al-Qaida groups creates new difficulties for Arab and Western countries trying to help force President Bashar Assad from power.
The opposition and the rebel Free Syrian Army deny having any links to terrorism, and say they do not have the desire or the capabilities to carry out massive suicide bombings and other al-Qaida-style attacks.
On Tuesday, the SITE monitoring group, which tracks jihadist chatter on the Internet, said the Al-Nusra Front released statements on extremist websites in late June claiming the attacks were to avenge the killings of Syrians by the government.
One of the attacks targeted a pro-regime television station in the town of Drousha, south of the capital, Damascus, on June 27. Seven people were killed in the attack on Al-Ikhbariya TV.
Al-Nusra said the station is an arm of the regime and the attack sought to make the station "taste from the cup of torture" and force every member of the regime to wonder: "When will my turn come?" The statement included photos of 11 men it said were kidnapped in the attack.
Al-Ikhbariya is privately owned but often acts as a regime mouthpiece.
Other attacks in the latest claim of responsibility include dozens of armed raids and bombings - including suicide bombings - in Syrian cities.
Little is known about Al-Nusra, although Western intelligence officials say it could be a front for a branch of al-Qaida militants from Iraq operating in Syria. The group has claimed responsibility for a string of attacks in Syria, including suicide bombings, in the past.
In February, al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to support Syrian rebels.
"Wounded Syria is still bleeding day after day, and the butcher (Bashar Assad) isn't deterred and doesn't stop," al-Zawahri said at the time. He took over al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces last May.
Although the Syrian opposition disavows links to terror, the presence of al-Qaida among the forces fighting to oust Assad is a serious complicating factor for the international powers that say they want to help the opposition without empowering extremists along the way.
The Syrian regime is dominated by members of the Alawite sect, which is an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Sunnis make up most of the population of 22 million and are the backbone of the opposition.
Assad has been able to count on backing from powerful allies like Russia and Iran. On Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Syrians should decide their own fate. According to his Internet website, Ahmadinejad told the visiting speaker of the Syrian parliament that others must not impose their will on Syria.
More than 14,000 people have been killed since the Syrian uprising began, according to activists. Despite global outrage over the crackdown by the Assad regime, the international response has been focused entirely on diplomacy and sanctions as the violence escalates.
Military intervention has been all but ruled out in Syria for now, in part because the conflict has so much potential for escalation. Damascus has strong allegiances to powerful forces including Lebanon's Hezbollah and Shiite powerhouse Iran.
There already are signs of a looming, regional conflict.
Syrian forces shot down a Turkish military plan on June 22. Syria says the plane violated its airspace, but Turkey said the plane was hit over international waters.
On Wednesday, Turkey's state-run TRT television said a U.S. deep-sea exploration vessel, E/V Nautilus, discovered the bodies of the two pilots.

The Other Great Depression: New Hope from a Long-Forgotten Crisis
Casas, Gustavo De Las, Harvard International Review
There is a part of our brain which firmly believes that disaster begets disaster. This intuition probably comes from daily life--for example, we see gambling misadventures lead to a job loss, a painful divorce, and so on. It is also natural to apply this dogma on a macro-level, and the current economic crisis is no exception. A chorus of doomsayers loudly predict that today's economic ailments will usher in a dark "age of upheaval." Not surprisingly, these pessimists rush to embrace the 1930s as the empirical centerpiece of their argument. They argue that, as in the 1930s, we face a perfect storm of rising poverty, popular resentment, and a major power in withdrawal. Now, as then, such a combination will breed failed states and dangerous new autocracies. And so we must brace For the impact of these looming realities. It is the unavoidable outcome. Right?
Wrong. In drawing historical parallels to the current crisis, we should consider another fateful decade, the 40s--the 1840s. Across Europe, the lessons of that decade contradict the doomsayers. Between 1845 and 1848, a crippling recession struck the Continent. Yet it eventually fostered not dictatorships, but some of the world's more stable democracies. For powerful Austria, France, and Prussia, 1848 brought angry mobs that (rightfully) questioned their kings' ability to provide good living standards. The monarchs' response in those cases and other, smaller states was remarkable: democratic reforms that, while limited, were unprecedented in continental history. Austria, the bastion of monarchic conservatism, allowed a representative Diet to co-exist with its centralized government. And in neighboring France, change was even more dramatic--with the Second Republic coming into life after the Bourbon monarchy abdicated for the last time.
The crises of 1848 and 2008 share a similar storyline, in both economics and geopolitics. European households in the late 1840s saw their purchasing power disappear when bad harvests sparked a grain-price shock. This parallels the interest rate hikes during 2004-06, which hit millions of households with variable-rate mortgages. And like today, the agrarian crisis of 1845-47 curtailed savings and investment, which in turn struck the manufacturing sector. For example, France's industry shrank about 10 percent between 1847 and 1848. Others followed suit.
The geopolitics of the era also resemble ours. …

Drunk DriverMinnie Driver has admitted her singing career started when she was drunk at dinner parties.
The Hollywood actress - who is about to release her debut album, 'Everything I've Got In My Pocket' - tested out her songs on friends and family before she plucked up the confidence to perform professionally.
She revealed: "I started playing songs slightly drunk at dinner parties for the consumption of no-one else other than my dear friends and my lovely family. It was hilarious!"
Minnie also confessed a record executive advised her never to try and launch a singing career after hearing her drunken efforts.
She told UK newspaper The Guardian: "One record company executive said it was good, but there was no way in hell he was going to encourage me because I'd get crucified. He was bastard."
In 1995, the actress was on the verge of signing a major deal with record label EMI when she landed the lead role in 'Circle Of Friends', which launched her glittering Hollywood career.

BUFORD, Ga. - Firefighters believe a gas leak caused an explosion that leveled a home on Lake Lanier.
Hall County Fire Chief David Kimbrell said a family of three was seriously hurt in the early morning blast at the end of Blackberry Lane, off McEver Road in Buford. The explosion was so powerful it could be heard from more than 10 miles away.
Dan and Susan Johnson were asleep in the home, along with their adult son, Allen. All three survived and were transported to separate hospitals in critical condition.
Though firefighters believe the blast was gas-related, they are still working to determine exactly what caused the explosion. They do not suspect foul play.
"This is something you read about and watch on television," said Hall County Fire Chief David Kimbrell. "I've been around for 27 years doing this and I've never seen one with this degree of explosion that didn't involve some type of fire."
The explosion happened around 5:40 Friday morning. Neighbors said the sound jolted them out of their beds.
"I didn't know if the world was coming to an end," said Nancy Karr, whose windows were blown out from the force of the blast. "It just scared the living daylights out of me."
Jim Wingo came outside to hear his neighbor calling for help.
"I went over and Allen, the son, was pinned under a piece of wall," he said. "I was able to lift the wall up enough for him to slide out a little bit."
Fire marshals estimate it could take several weeks before the investigation is complete.

24 Fans Are Crazy; Flock To Times Square
By Kona Gallagher 9 years ago comments
When I first moved to New York, I worked outdoors in Times Square. Doing what is a story for another time. The point is, it sucksespecially in the rain. There is something about that three-block radius that renders people completely unable to manage an umbrella. As a result, I have been poked in the face/scalp/eye with umbrella points more times than I can count. So when I read on TV Guide.com that over 200 fans braved the rain to go see a trailer for the new season of 24, I just sighed and shook my head.
Few things could make me brave Times Square. Keefer Sutherland himself putting the screws to an actual terrorist on 42nd street might do it, but even so, Id probably be like, nuts to that train ride and take a nap instead. However, these devoted fans got to be the first ones to see 24s interesting new developments for season 7. Its already been reported that the new season is taking place in Washington, D.C., but star Mary-Lynn Rajskub (Chloe) was on hand to offer a few spoilers. For those of you who dont want to know, stop reading nowSpoilers ahead:
Many of you have heard that Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) is back from the dead this season. But what you may not know is that hes back as Jacks nemesis. Dun dun DUN! Rajskub also revealed some new developments in Chloes personal life. Apparently her and Morris' reconciliation worked because when we rejoin CTUs favorite prickly pear, she has a wedding ring and a baby. On how her new status affects her work saving the world, Rajskub said, [I'm] calling Morris (Carlo Rota) while Im busy. So far hes taking care of the baby, but hell be around. Rajskub didnt mention anything about Bauers personal life, but Im going to go out on a limb and say that he falls in love with a woman who will somehow become involved in a terrorist plot, forcing Jack to save/kill her, the lasting effects of which will ultimately ruin their relationship. Sound about right?
Season 7 of 24 premieres Sunday, January 13 at 8 pm on Fox.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan today said there have been no major crop damages in areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana hit by the cyclone last year to merit debt waiver and came out strongly against the "moral hazards" which get played out due to such promises.
He said pre-election promises were made in these states for a largesse in the form of a farm loan waiver and also explained the way such an exercise gets carried out.
Generally, a district collector declares crops in his area as being affected due to a catastrophe, which automatically triggers favourable treatment of bank loans, under which the affected dud loans are not treated as bad loans, Rajan said.
However, in case of Andhra and Telangana, which were hit by cyclone Phailin last year, it was discovered that there were no widespread damages to the crop that merit debt waiver, he added.
"Because of a variety of factors, there was no emergency declared (by any district collector), no request for a restructuring was made and we had the full harvest coming in," Rajan said.
"We have been quite categorical about the dangers of talking about waivers, about putting the idea of waivers because it creates the possibility that anticipating such waivers, both the beneficiaries as well as others who think there is a chance of benefitting stop paying for fear that they will not benefit when the time comes," he added.
During the recent Assembly and general elections in Andhra and the newly created Telangana, state leaders Chandrababu Naidu and K Chandrashekhar Rao had promised farm loan waivers. While the quantum of affected farm loan in Andhra is around Rs 87,000 crore, it is over Rs 40,000 crore in the new state.
On the massive non-payment problems in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Rajan said even if some package gets announced, it will make sure that the non-payers do not benefit.
RBI has shown reluctance to a debt waiver or restructuring of the loans as it sees no reason in undertaking such a task.
"We are in discussion with these state governments to see where exactly is the distress so that we can take a more reasoned and focused view. It doesn't appear from the production data that the cyclone had widespread damage," he concluded.
The AP government had last month announced that it would waive farm loans of up to

HTTPS Extension Adds Default SSL Browsing to Firefox
HTTPS Everywhere encrypts a number of major websites.
The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have released HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox extension that activates SSL/TSL encryption on sites that support the security setting, but don't feature it as a default when visiting because of partial support, unsecured trackback links or other issues. To alleviate this problem, HTTPS Everywhere writes all requests in HTTPS.
The EFF mentions that HTTPS Everywhere Twitter, Google, Wikipedia, PayPal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, along with other sites that support the SSL encryption option. It's also possible to write rulesets that define which domains are redirected HTTPS. The EFF offers more information on that here.

Unipapel is based in Spain and produces office paper products. Its product portfolio includes paper bags, envelopes and stationary products, greeting cards and notebooks.
In a statement, DS Smith said that the enterprise value for Spicers is £200m, and net proceeds, after tax and related costs, are circa £160m. It added: "Following the disposal, the Group is focused on its recycled packaging businesses."
Speaking last month to PN about possible future acquisitions, DS Smith chief executive Miles Roberts said that there were "a number of opportunities that we expect to come out of the continent [Europe] in the next 12 to 18 months. Any acquisition has to be in packaging, but if there is paper too then that's OK".

This included the fact that the Earth tribe featured glow in the dark highlights, the Forrest tribe was semi-transparent, the Sea tribe changed colors when placed in cold water, and the Volcano tribe changes colors when placed in luke warm water. There were even 5 specially made larger Gormiti Atomic series characters which featured interchangeable magnetic parts.

|In Stock
|20 µl (2 western blots)
|In Stock
|carrier free and custom formulation / quantity
|email request
|MW (kDa)
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot.
Applications Key: W=Western Blotting, IP=Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved Caspase-9 (Asp330) Antibody (Human Specific) detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (37 kDa with prodomain/17 kDa) of caspase-9 following cleavage at aspartic acid 330. The antibody does not recognize the uncleaved procaspase-9.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino terminus residues surrounding to Asp330 of human caspase-9. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Caspase-9 (ICE-LAP6, Mch6) is an important member of the cysteine aspartic acid protease (caspase) family (1,2). Upon apoptotic stimulation, cytochrome c released from mitochondria associates with the 47 kDa procaspase-9/Apaf 1. Apaf-1 mediated activation of caspase-9 involves instrinsic proteolytic processing resulting in cleavage at Asp315 and producing a p35 subunit. Another cleavage occurs at Asp330 producing a p37 subunit that can serve to amplify the apoptotic response (3-6). Cleaved caspase-9 further processes other caspase members, including caspase-3 and caspase-7, to initiate a caspase cascade, which leads to apoptosis (7-10).

On the record with rock legend Ray Davies
On eve of his July 22 San Diego concert, the head Kink opens up in interview
Ray Davies, with Bill Shanley and The 88
When: 8 p.m. Sunday, July 22
Where: House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Avenue, downtown
Tickets: $35-$75 (Must be 21 or older to attend)
Phone: (800) 745-3000
Online: livenation.com
Rock fans hoping at long last for a reunion by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies of The Kinks, the greatest English rock band to emerge in the 1960s not named The Beatles, Who or Rolling Stones, are out of luck. The famously combative and frequently estranged brothers seem no closer to mending their differences, although Dave has rebounded from his debilitating 2004 stroke
"He's doing very well, living in the West Country (of England) and devising all these plots against me. Sibling rivalry never goes away," said Ray Davies, who performs in San Diego Sunday, July 22, at downtown's House of Blues, where he'll be accompanied by Bill Shanley and The 88.
But if no reunion is in store for The Kinks, which last performed as a band in 1996, Ray is far more optimistic about a potential rebirth for"80 Days," the ambitious musical he wrote 24 years ago for the La Jolla Playhouse. It had its world premiere here in 1988 and paved the way for Playhouse Artistic Director Des McAnuff's subsequent collaboration at the theater with Pete Townshend on the hugely successful musical adaptation "The Who's 'Tommy'."
"It might be revived," Davies said Friday, speaking by phone Friday as he rode between concert stops in San Francisco and Los Angeles. "Des is busy working with Andrew Lloyd Webber right now. But I spoke with Des a few years ago and he felt it was one of the best scores he's ever worked on, so I'm going to resurrect it."
Davies, now 68, is now at work on two new musicals and his first opera. In 1990, he was inducted by Townshend into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Kinks. The Who leader saluted him as "almost indisputably rock's most literate, witty and insightful songwriter. He invented a new kind of poetry, a new kind of language for pop writing that influenced me from the very, very beginning."
Davies and The Kinks' influence extends to Van Halen and The Smiths to The Kooks and countless other bands on both sides of the Atlantic. The list also includes Metallica, the Bay Area heavy-metal champions that perform with Davies on a song his latest album, "See My Friends," which finds him revisiting some of his best songs with help from such longtime musical admirers as Bruce Springsteen, Mumford & Sons, Lucinda Williams, Jon Bon Jovi, Paloma Faith and the late Alex Chilton.
Davies last performed in San Diego six years ago at the Spreckels Theatre. His concert mixed recent and vintage solo songs with such Kinks' gems as "Till the End of the Day," "Celluloid Heroes" and "All the Day and All The Night." The once and forever head Kink promised that his Sunday House of Blues show here will be even more eclectic.
QUESTION: The great Duke Ellington, who was a remarkably prolific composer, was once asked what inspired him to write. He smiled, and said: "Give me a deadline." How important are deadlines for you, whether self-imposed or imposed by someone else?
DAVIES: Deadlines are always interesting to have. I think most writers are lazy – your company accepted, of course! The other day I was going through a song I started to write 10 years ago. Some of them are worth finishing. Deadlines are important to have, not being the be-all and end-all.
Q: Did you do anything with that 10-year-old song?

Not as bright as Sylvania Silverstar

Bright white but does not seem to project as far as Sylvania Silverstar which I also have used. Much better than standard bulbs and $10 cheaper then Silverstars. Worth the cost.

Excellent product!

About Me Car Enthusiast
These Crystal Vision Ultras are a vast improvement over the standard 9006 bulbs in my 2011 Dodge Avenger! These are brighter than a standard bulb and are much much whiter! I've had these bulbs before in my 2008 G6 and they lasted 2 years, so hopefully I have the same luck again. I would definitely recommend buying these. Even if they don't last too long, I will still buy another set just because I am very picky about having whiter headlights at night for visibility.

About Me Quality Oriented, Value Oriented
Bought these to put in some company trucks, and they make a world of difference! Once a driver got used to having these in their truck, and then had to switch to another truck, they started thinking that they were having headlight problems, forgetting that their usual truck has these installed!The only downside is they are almost 4 times as expensive as regular 9006 bulbs, but it makes it easier to see and since they are company trucks, safety is a number one priority.

Stephen Toulouse, the former policy and enforcement director at Xbox Live, is once again representing the Microsoft brand with his new job as director of Community Engagement on the upcoming Gears of War game for Xbox One. Toulouse actually joined Black Tusk Studios awhile ago, according to what he wrote on his personal blog.
"As of today I am now the Director of Community Engagement for Black Tusk Studios," Toulouse wrote on his blog. "I'm not sure there is a word that properly expresses my excitement at the opportunity to represent this community. Gearstastic? Lambentocity? AWESOMES OF WAR? I have time to work on it."
"I've been hiding, I confess," he continued. "I've been shadowing the Gears forums and looking at people's thoughts. I don't just want us to make the best next generation Gears of War game ever, I want to make sure that everyone playing the game today feels just as good today and down the road in their investment into our amazing world as we do. There's a Gears nation out there. I'm a part of it and it's amazing."
Black Tusk acquired Gears of War from Epic Games earlier this year, including all existing and future titles in the franchise. Microsoft will still publish the games.

Make Your Own Salad Dressing
Slim down your salad
Many salad dressings are land mines for your diet: Trans fat, sugar, preservatives, and artificial flavors pop up on nutritional labels, wreaking havoc on otherwise healthy green dishes. Choosing fat-free varieties isn't a great idea, either, because certain nutrients in vegetables can't be absorbed without fat. Instead, get the most out of your salad by whipping up these easy, figure-friendly dressings that use natural ingredients and heart-healthy olive oil. They'll add flavor to your greens for less than 50 calories per serving.
Watch the video: How to Make Your Own Salad Dressing
Cucumber Yogurt Dressing
Low-fat yogurt creates a creamy base for the slightly sour balsamic vinegar and rich olive oil. A dash of dill adds a tangy flavor—and an added dose of calcium. The cool, crisp cucumber taste complements this recipe for Grilled Chicken and Wheat-Berry Salad perfectly.

In recent years, there have been many natural disasters all around the world, and many families have lost their loved ones. The Migration of Lost Souls is a meditation on the journey of those lost souls into the afterlife. I was inspired by the sounds of bells heard in the temples of Thailand. In fact, the main pitches of the composition are derived from the numerous and sonically varied bells found at the Doi Suthep Temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand.Beginning and ending with haunting and sorrowful sounds, the piece has three main sections: slow, fast, and slow. The strong opening statement presents the main pitches and is followed by a development in slow tempo of fragments of the same musical ideas. This first section ends with a gradual fading away. A shimmering gesture in the woodwinds leads to the fast middle section, and the entire orchestra announces this section's main motive. This quick-paced, dancelike section is flavored with an energetic style of music called mor lam—native to Isaan, Thailand's northeastern region—which features both extremely rapid tempos and flexible melodies that follow speech-like patterns. Here, a xylophone imitates the sound of a local instrument called the pong lang, a wooden "log xylophone." After one last climax, the third and final section of this work reprises the idea of fading away—depicting the last breath before the lost loved ones' souls journey to heaven.
It is not rare that a work of art—visual, dramatic, or written—"speaks" to me; in fact, it is quite common. But every now and then, there is a work that "sings" to me, loud and clear. The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht is an example of such a work. Songs from faraway places, rhythms of battles between humans and animals in deep mountains, the crisp resonance of blood droplets, wistful tunes played by the gusle, moving sonorities of dreams and memories, melodies of languages and abandoned dialects—all of this, and being surrounded by the collaborative team that I have been so lucky to work with, caused the streams of music to flow from me "like secret rivers."I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to American Composers Orchestra for commissioning this piece, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc. for co-sponsorship, Téa Obreht for her wonderful and enormously inspiring novel, Creative Artists Agency, Seth Fishman of The Gernert Company, Glenn Cornett and the New Spectrum Foundation, and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts for their generous contributions towards the production. Thanks also to the Serbia-Montenegro-Croatia team: Nenad Paranosić, Snezana Paranosić, Milena Paranosić, Vesna and Dragan Mikić, Petar Jevtić, Deki, the Jovanović family, Boško Vujović, Zoran Jokić, Pauline Schoeny, Donatien Levalet, Etienne Gendron, and Radivoje Andric. Thank you to Peter Jarvis for percussion consultation; to Gorazd Poposki for making the unique "bones-shaker" instrument; and last but not least, to my incredible, creative, supportive, and dedicated team of partners and collaborators: Carmen Kordas, Beowulf Sheehan, David Chambers, and Lori Cotler.
Charles Ives is one of the most remarkable composers that America has ever produced. Many of Ives's explorations into new harmonic and contrapuntal possibilities antedated the work of Schoenberg and Stravinsky. A long list of compositions, mostly written before 1920, includes four symphonies, chamber music, two piano sonatas, five sonatas for violin and piano, many songs and choral pieces, as well as a number of other orchestral works.When Ives began sketches for his Symphony No. 3, he was living in New York, working in an insurance office during the day, and composing at night and on the weekends. He supplemented his salary by playing the organ and directing the choir at the Central Presbyterian Church on West 57th Street. Much of the musical material from the symphony is based on hymns and organ pieces that Ives played at the church. The score was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1947.The first movement is "Old Folks Gatherin'," based on Ives's organ piece from 1901. Soon after the music is underway, the violas and clarinet introduce the hymn "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing." After the tune is elaborated, the horns present the hymn "Just As I Am, Without One Plea" with a certain rhythmic distortion of the melody. Toward the end of the movement, there is a section marked adagio cantabile, in which the hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is heard in the high register of the oboe and then answered by the flute. Near the close, "O for a Thousand Tongues" is combined with "What a Friend."The second movement is called "Children's Day" and is marked allegro. The opening theme suggests a derivation from the opening of the American melody, set to the hymn "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood." The middle section is a march. At the end, the opening returns and is treated in an imitative manner.Marked largo, the "Communion" third movement is based on an organ piece that Ives wrote for a Communion service in 1901. The melody is based loosely on the hymn tune "Just As I Am." The music is contrapuntal, yet lyrical. At the end, the distant sound of church bells is introduced ppppp—extremely quiet.
Flute Concerto with Tango was commissioned by BIS Records for Sharon Bezaly, who performed it on tour in Australia. The first movement establishes itself without introduction. The technical fireworks are interrupted by a highly lyrical section, providing a short-lived respite before the movement ends in a flurry. The second movement opens with a cadenza—a long, quasi-improvisational dissertation—followed by a fast, virtuoso section for the flute punctuated by the orchestra. Fantasia, the rhapsodic third movement, features the warm, wonderful low register of the alto flute in long, singing lines. After becoming more intense and dramatic, the movement concludes with a quiet coda.The fourth movement justifies the title of the work. Traditionally, tangos end with a strong dominant chord followed by a brief, barely audible tonic chord. I take this idea one step further, leaving my tango up in the air in the middle of a phrase so that the listener can make his own conclusion. The tango's interlude of slow, lyrical passages gives way to the final Allegro movement, in which the soloist and orchestra are again off to the races. A virtuosic Presto section ends the work with a flourish of pyrotechnics.

Jennifer Egan wins fiction Pulitzer Prize
NEW YORK Jennifer Egan's inventive novel about the passage of time, "A Visit from the Goon Squad," won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction Monday, honored for its "big-hearted curiosity about cultural change at warp speed."
Egan, 48, has been highly praised for her searching and unconventional narratives about modern angst and identity. Her other novels include "The Invisible Circus," "Look at Me" and "The Keep."
Critics were especially taken with "A Visit From the Goon Squad," set in the digital upending of the music industry. Earlier this year, she won the National Book Critics Circle prize for the book, which experiments with format, notably a long section structured like a PowerPoint presentation.
"The book is so much about how change is unexpected and always kind of shocking," she said by phone. Egan said she was inspired by Marcel Proust's sprawling novel "Remembrance of Things Past," which explored the passage of time.
"His book of time is all about how the work of time is unpredictable and in some sense unfathomable," she said. "So there's no question that winning a prize like this feel unpredictable and unfathomable."
The play "Clybourne Park" by Bruce Norris, which examines race relations and the effects of modern gentrification, won the drama prize. The work imagines what might have happened to the family that moved out of the house in the fictitious Chicago neighborhood of Clybourne Park, which is where Lorraine Hansberry's Younger clan is headed by the end of her 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun."
"I'm deeply honored and totally flabbergasted to receive this recognition," said Norris, who was staying on an island off the coast of Maine when he learned of the win. He thanked the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago for 10 years of support.
The Pulitzer for history was awarded to "The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery" by Eric Foner, a Columbia University professor who has won multiple honors for a career focused on the Lincoln era and Reconstruction. Foner, 68, called the latest prize a capstone for his career.
"The Pulitzer has a kind of broader importance and stature suggesting that your book is appreciated by a wider audience, a non-scholarly audience," Foner said in a telephone interview from London, where he is teaching this semester.
He said it can be intimidating approaching a book on Lincoln, who has been written about so much before. But he said many Lincoln books either try to put the Civil War president on a pedestal or tear him down, and he was trying to get a balanced view on a specific topic seen through the lens of that period in history.
Ron Chernow, a New York-based historian who has written about Alexander Hamilton and John D. Rockefeller in the past, won the Pulitzer for biography for "Washington: A Life," about the nation's first president. It's his first Pulitzer Prize.
"I am really quite flabbergasted and quite thrilled," Chernow said. The historian worked for six years on the project, reading some 35,000 to 40,000 pages of material on Washington and 125 books about people and events from Washington's time. Contest judges called it "a sweeping, authoritative portrait of an iconic leader."
Kay Ryan's "The Best of It: New and Selected Poems" won the poetry prize, a book called by the Pulitzer board "a treasure trove of an iconoclastic and joyful mind." Ryan was U.S. Poet Laureate from 2008-2010.
"It comes with a really big car, doesn't it? Don't you get a Humvee? The poet's car," she joked by phone while pacing in her kitchen in San Francisco. The book spans 45 years of her compressed, witty, often humorous poetry.

Hello all. First thing first, I am new to the sport so forgive me if my ignorance shows
I just got my first bike in.....hmm...15 yrs (wow, sorry just shocked my self) any way.. I was at Dick's Sporting Good's this evening and was just looking around and saw a GT Agressor 1.0 for $550, with 200 bucks off and a 50 dollar sale bringing the total to 300 bucks, I have been wanting to get a bike for a while now to get back into shape and for the enjoyment of riding.
I remember when I was a teenager GT was one of the best brands, so I purchased the bike, then got home and started doing some reading up on GT and well...I am sure you all know what I found out and yes I know I did it backwards lol, I should have done my research first then purchased a bike, but I didnt go out to buy.
Now my question is did I make a mistake in buying this brand ? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks to every one for your time.

Forge Creek dredge project in Nanticoke will move forward
Help is coming for residents of West Union Street in Nanticoke who are affected by repeat flooding, as soon as Luzerne County gets promised money to dredge Forge Creek.
Nanticoke received a $205,350 state Department of Community and Economic Development disaster relief grant, which is administered through the county Office of Community Development.
Interim City Manager Donna Wall said the county anticipates the money any day.
"It is a priority; the project is a go," she said.
When the money is released, an engineer will do the scope of work for the project, then a request for proposals will be put out for a contractor to do the dredging.
Wall said city officials are looking into another grant to expand the scope of work.
In other business, Mayor Richard Wiaterowski hired Jennifer Polito as accounting director at a salary of $45,000. Polito, who has a master's degree in accounting from the University of Scranton, was chosen from 18 people who applied.
"We had a good pool of applicants," Wall said.
Council awarded the demolition of a flood-damaged property on Arch Street to Brdaric Excavation for $19,874. Work should be done by the end of the month, Wall said.

(KSDK Sports) -- Illinois (14-5, 1-4) has lost five of seven after its 12-0 start and fallen near the bottom of the Big Ten. Their most recent loss to Northwestern cost them their Top 25 ranking in both major polls.
The Illinois Fighting Illini appear to be headed in the wrong direction as they have lost three games in a row. As a team Illinois is averaging 72.8 points, 10.8 assists, and they are shooting 43 percent while defensively they are allowing 66.4 points, 12.4 assists, and their opponents are shooting 41.9 percent. Brandon Paul is averaging 18.2 points, Tracy Abrams is averaging 11.9 points, and D.J. Richardson is averaging 10.8 points. Illinois fell apart at the end of last season and they are looking to avoid the same fate this time around.
Illinois faces the Nebraska Cornhuskers who are coming off of their first Big Ten win as they knocked off Penn State on Saturday. The Huskers are 7-4 at home this season but just 1-5 in the Big 10 but they have also played the ninth ranked schedule in the country.
As a team Nebraska is averaging 58.6 points, 10.3 assists, and they are shooting 41.4 percent while defensively they are allowing 61.3 points, 10.2 assists, and their opponents are shooting 42.8 percent. Ray Gallegos is averaging 13.2 points, Dylan Talley is averaging 12.9 points and 5.5 rebounds, and Brandon Ubel is averaging 12.1 points and 6.8 rebounds. Nebraska will be looking to build off of the momentum of their win on Saturday.
Nebraska is 4-1 against the spread against the Big Ten, 3-8 against the spread following a cover, and 4-1 against the spread against a team with a winning record. Illinois is 7-19 against the spread against the Big Ten, 3-13 against the spread in their last 16 road games, and 0-4 against the spread following a double digit home loss.

Microsoft just sent out invitations for its next-generation Xbox announcement. The event takes place May 21 at Microsoft's offices in Redmond.
Here's what we know about the next Xbox so far:
- It'll reportedly require an Internet connection to play games. The console won't let you play if you lose the connection or can't access one.
- It will link to your cable box via an HDMI cable and add an Xbox layer on top of your regular cable menu. It's very similar to the way Google TV works.
- There have also been reports of a second Xbox, a stripped down version that will let you stream content from services like Netflix and HBO GO and play simple downloadable games. That device would be more like the Apple TV or Roku than a powerful gaming console.
- Finally, there are some scattered reports that the next Kinect sensor will have some cool features like enhanced voice control and greater motion sensitivity.
Xbox's director of programming Larry Hyrb wrote a brief post on his blog about the announcement, saying the event will "mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment."
Here's a look at the invitation:

What are Over the Counter (OTC) Male Enhancement Drugs?
Male enhancers are pills or supplements that allow you to perform well in bed. Some of these enhancers are great cures for erectile dysfunction and others simply prolong erection for more action. With the risks along with its use, some of it requires prescriptions to be bought in pharmacies. On the other hand, others are considered as over the counter (OTC) male enhancement pills that you can buy anytime you want.
What are Over the Counter Drugs?
Over the counter drugs are medications or supplements that you can buy without any restrictions. These drugs don't require prescription, which makes it easier to buy. This means, these drugs don't have a lot of risks when it comes to health issues. On the other hand, it's still important to understand the nature of the drug that you're using to avoid problems along the way.
Over the counter drugs can remedy headache, itch, and pain for a short period of time. It's because these drugs only contain considerable amounts of chemicals or herbs that provide immediate treatment – they can't be a treatment substitute. This is also true in OTC male enhancement pills. If you are having problems in sexual intercourse because of erectile dysfunction, or you want to perform longer in bed, this kind of male enhancer is definitely great.
Prescription Drugs
Why do people need prescription to buy a particular kind of drug? Well, the answer is simple – the drug that you have been prescribed with is not to be taken by other people unless they are told to by a medical professional. Prescription drugs contain a high amount of treatment dose that might harm someone who doesn't have a disease like yours.
When it comes to male enhancers, prescription male enhancement drugs contain a high amount of substance that will solve your problems in sexual intercourse. If you take it without the condition it requires, it may lead to problems such as erection for hours, frequent palpitation, and heart attack. If you are experiencing impotence and have been prescribed with a particular drug, you are buying a male enhancer that can't be taken by a normal person.
Before you take any drug (even if it is an over the counter drug), it's very important to know how it works. This way, you don't have to worry about the side effects you are experiencing especially if it is normal from taking a particular drug. Since male enhancers usually work on your blood flow – it makes it faster to allow more blood circulation in the penis, you might experience sudden heart palpitations and a feeling of being tired even if you're just sitting or relaxing.
Over the counter male enhancement drugs are very easy to purchase. You just have to find the store that offers the brand or type that you prefer, and get it even without a prescription. Since most of these drugs are considered as health supplements, you don't have to worry a lot about the side effects that most male enhancement drugs have.

Did anyone know CBS Sports had signing day coverage? I found out late this afternoon while flipping through channels. It was on 172 or 174 Mediacom.
It. Was. Terrible.
About as terrible as ESPNU. I think I liked it better when these shows didn't exist.

I think they had Rich Rod on as a host and interviewed the new coach at Michigan, with RichRod asking a few questions. Awkward.
Yeah, that was weird but handled pretty well.

Hello, What happened to your baby? I have the same problem with our 4 month old son at the moment. I am not sure if I should rush him to a dr? Swelling in the mouth is so scary, I'm worried it might block his airways. He recently had his innoculations, could it be from that? He is still formula/breast feeding. I haven't started him on solids. Any help would be appreciated.posted 02/15/2013 by samanthaleebritz
Did the cheeks become swelled after giving him the peas? Although some babies do have the "hampster cheeks" it could be from the new food. Wether or not they are hot/cold to the touch it may still be from the food. My suggestion is dont feed him the peas for a few days to see if the swelling goes down. Then reintroduce him to it in about a wk.posted 05/11/2011 by avasemail11
well i would talk to your pediatrician... and see what he says... but if your still breastfeeding then it could be that he has chubby cheeks bcuz breastfed babies are more chubby and chunky :)posted 05/06/2011 by gulfgirl05

UIC Baseball Alum Named Astros Hitting Coach
Oct. 22, 2012
CHICAGO – Former UIC standout baseball player John Mallee was named the new hitting coach for the Houston Astros this past Friday. Mallee owns 17 years of professional coaching experience and most recently served as the hitting coach for the Florida Marlins during the 2010 and 2011 seasons after spending eight years coaching in the Marlins minor league system.
Astros manager Bo Porter talked to the Houston Chronicle's Brian Smith about Mallee…
"I have history with Mallee - When you talk to hitters – I was in Florida when he was there – when you talk to guys like Chris Coghlan, who won the rookie of the year; Gaby Sanchez, who went on to be an All-Star; from Dan Uggla to Cody Ross to Jeremy Hermida to Josh Willingham — all of those guys absolutely rave about this guy."
Mallee competed at shortstop for the Flames during the 1990 and 1991 seasons, earning a spot on the all-league and all-tournament team in both years. The Chicago native was drafted in the 10th round of amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1991 and spent two seasons in their minor league system before beginning his coaching career.

Queensland Darren Lehmann throws rule book at camera in Bulls' win over Tasmania in Ryobi Cup
- From: AAP
- November 14, 2012
of 2
THIRD umpire controversies have reared their head again in the domestic one-day competition, with Queensland coach Darren Lehmann showing his anger at a call despite a five-wicket win over Tasmania at Bellerive.
Lehmann brandished the competition's rule book at a television camera after Australian one-day representative Peter Forrest was given out lbw when third umpire Paul Wilson intervened.
On-field umpire Geoff Joshua had given Forrest not out when Tigers quick James Faulkner appealed in the 35th over with the score 2-168 and the Bulls chasing 276 for victory.
But on viewing a replay, Wilson reversed the decision and Forrest was on his way for four at a crucial point in the match.
Lehmann was seen leaving the players' viewing area with his copy of the playing conditions, returning several minutes later.
It is not the first time the competition's third umpire review system has come under scrutiny.
Bulls captain Chris Hartley recently questioned it, saying batsmen were hanging around waiting for replays while ad breaks on Fox Sports meant mistakes were being missed on the last ball of an over.
Hartley called for international cricket's two referral system to be adopted.
Earlier in Wednesday's match, Tasmanian keeper Tim Paine was sent on his way caught behind when an inconclusive TV replay was viewed and the original decision upheld.
Under the playing conditions, the third umpire can change a decision if TV replays show it to be clearly wrong.
The controversy overshadowed classy knocks from Tigers captain George Bailey (102 from 124 balls) and Queensland's former Test batsman Usman Khawaja (78 from 91).
Bailey showed the way as his struggling side made 275 after being sent in, with Alex Doolan (48 from 68) chipping in and James Faulkner blasting 30 from 16 balls, including three sixes from one Ben Cutting over.
Queensland were cruising at 0-116 and 2-168 when Forrest was given out before Nathan Reardon smashed 71 from 54 balls, with eight fours and three sixes, to steer his side to 5-278 with a single ball to spare.
The win was the Bulls' first for the season, while the Tigers are now 1-3.

For the first time in its 80-year history, Augusta National Golf Club has female members.
The home of the Masters has invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first women in green jackets when the club opens for a new season in October.
Both women have accepted. The invitations end a 10-year controversy that began when former club chairman Hootie Johnson said the club would not be pressured "at the point of a bayonet" to change its all-male membership.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne described Monday's announcement as a "joyous occasion" as he took the rare step of confirming its latest two members. He says it is a "significant and positive time" at the club. Augusta typically does not discuss membership.

Walmart Renews Every-Day-Low-Price Promise
April 12, 2011
Walmart is taking aggressive steps to reestablish its low-price dominance and one-stop shopping convenience, which it has recently ceded to competitors such as Target.
The world's largest retailer is renewing its price leadership promise, bringing back products it previously cut from its inventory and simplifying its ad match policy, which Walmart is broadcasting far and wide in a new advertising campaign launched this week.
"Walmart's reputation was founded on the principle of providing low prices day-in and day-out on the broadest assortment of merchandise," said Duncan Mac Naughton, chief merchandising officer of Walmart U.S. "Our company is determined to create the best one-stop shopping experience and low prices on the right products backed by a clear, consistent ad match policy."
A recent report in CNN Money said that price research conducted by Customer Growth Partners revealed rivals such as Target had slightly lower prices than Walmart on everyday items such as milk, cereal, clothing, and health and beauty care products. This is the first time in four years that Target has been able to gain price dominance over Walmart, which typically maintained a 2 percent to 4 percent lower price lead, according to the research company.
Responding to the competitive slip, Walmart is vowing low prices, every day on everything. The retailer promises to:
- Increase competitive checks with store managers and product buyers checking the competition more often "to help ensure stores offer lower prices on the right mix of items.
- Partner more closely with suppliers to lower the cost per item and pass those savings on to customers.
- Simplify its ad match policy to make it easier for customers who no longer have to bring in a competitor's advertisement as proof of discount. If customers find a lower advertised price, Walmart will match it at the register. The company is also implementing new associate training to ensure the policy is executed consistently and correctly across all store.
- Broaden product assortment by approximately 8,500 items, or 11 percent, in the average store.
"We've listened to our customers and we're bringing back the products and brands they want," Mac Naughton said. "Customers have already seen a wider selection of products on our shelves and we'll continue to bring back great products at great prices."
Customers can easily identify these items with new "It's Back" flags on store shelves.
In the video below, Walmart also makes a point of reminding customers it accepts manufacturer coupons.
Grocery Delivery
In other Walmart news, the retailer is reportedly testing grocery delivery service in the San Jose area of California. If the test is approved, customers can shop online and get delivery of their shopping orders, according to a Bloomberg report.
"Wal-Mart needs to get more serious about e-commerce, so that would be interesting," Matt Nemer, analyst at Wells Fargo, told Bloomberg. "Grocery delivery works in urban markets, and they already do it in the U.K., so they have experience."
Walmart, however, declined to comment on the test. "There are rumors about our business all the time and we don't comment on them," Ravi Jariwala, a Walmart spokesman said. "We will continue to evaluate our assortment to determine where to expand and best serve our customers."
SBD Views: The story of Walmart's return to its roots continues to evolve. A clear campaign to re-establish pricing leadership is in full swing. Of equal interest is Walmart's attempt to let consumers know that many products previously deleted have been reinstated. -- John Failla for Store Brands Decisions.
