Rhinestoned is Pam Tillis' first album since 2002's tribute to her father, Mel Tillis, titled It's All Relative. Co-produced by the trio of Tillis, Matt Spicher (Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs) and Gary Nicholson (Delbert McClinton, Wynnona), the new CD is also her first independent release, set for release on April 17 on her own Stellar Cat label, marketed and distributed by Thirty Tigers and RED Distribution.
With the last CD, her tribute to her father Mel Tillis titled It's All Relative , Pam produced one of the most memorable discs to have come out of Nashville in years, largely because of her refusal to conform to expectations. Combing through her father's catalog, she chose songs that had an especially timeless quality, with built-in resistance to the whims of the market. It was a bold statement; more than that, it set the stage for the even more assertive statement that Rhinestoned would make.
"That was the first record I ever made where I wasn't concerned about having to come up with three singles," she points out.
That's one reason why Rhinestoned marks the first album to be released on Stellar Cat, Pam's own imprint. With total creative control, she let her heart lead the way toward material that she could perform honestly and emotionally. "This is an A&R-free zone," she says, smiling. "It's a bookend to the Dad album, except it has all new songs. It's like a bridge between the present and the past."
How past is this particular past? "If you look at my record collection circa 1974," Pam answers, "you'd see Emmylou, Graham Parsons, Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Linda Ronstadt, and Neil Young. Flying Burrito Brothers – hippie country I call it – that was some of the best music that ever came out of this town. Maybe it wasn't happening on country radio at the time but it sold record and built careers. It was the vibrant scene on the fringes of country, which was very cool – just as it is today."
The Rhinestoned sessions started in 2004. Beginning with around 20 songs, Pam and Matt whittled the number down to ten, which they cut and set aside, like bottles of wine allowed to mature. A few months later they repeated the process. And then, after reflecting for a while on what she had accomplished, Pam decided something wasn't right. She talked about it with her trusted friend and writing partner Gary Nicholson and reached a critical decision.
"It needed to be more country " she sums up. "I played what we had for Gary, brought him into the picture, and suddenly it felt like we weren't wandering in the woods anymore The when I found the song 'Band in the window,' suddenly I could see and hear the whole project in my mind right down to the t-shirts, Tillis' laughs.
Since she began her country music career, Pam Tillis racked up six number one singles and 14 top ten hits racking up sales of over 5 million. In 1994 Tillis was crowned CMA's female vocalist of the year. Other milestones have included two Grammy awards and a slew of ACM and Grammy nominations. Pam self produced her "All of this Love" album which yielded two Top 5 hits. As an actress, she starred in Leiber and Stoller's "Smokey Joe's Café" on Broadway as well as "Promise Land" and "LA Law." Pam was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2000 and her last album, It's All Relative , a tribute to her father Mel Tillis, reached No. 4 on USA Today's top ten country records of 2002. She continues to tour extensively to the delight of country fans worldwide.

Turning to the other side of the option chain, we highlight one call contract of particular interest for the September expiration, for shareholders of Pfizer Inc ( PFE) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 3.3% annualized dividend yield. Selling the covered call at the $33 strike and collecting the premium based on the 88 cents bid, annualizes to an additional 4.5% rate of return against the current stock price (this is what we at Stock Options Channel refer to as the YieldBoost), for a total of 7.8% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $33 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but PFE shares would have to climb 5.5% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 8.3% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.

Emeralda Ninh Binh Resort and Spa
Ninh Binh, Vietnam
Surrounded by dramatic Vietnamese limestone karst scenery, Emeralda Resort is a comfortable retreat just two hours from Hanoi. It provides a fantastic base for exploring this untouched region that's often compared to Halong Bay.
At a Glance
Surrounded by beautiful limestone karst scenery yet just 2 hours from Vietnam's capital, Hanoi
Easily the most comfortable accommodation in the area with spacious rooms, a pool and a spa
It sits in an area with scenery comparable to Halong Bay, yet without the crowds
A good option for families with a spacious duplex room
Arrive there by road and boat to enjoy the most amazing scenery and tiny villages dotted along the way
Meet our specialists
Call us on 858 523 9000 to start planning your vacation to Emeralda Ninh Binh Resort and Spa or take a look at our itineraries to The Far North
Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh sits on the edge of Van Long Natural Reserve just outside of Ninh Binh, under a two-hour drive from Hanoi. The spacious rooms are spread peacefully through sprawling grounds that are flanked by soaring limestone karsts, authentic villages and glorious paddy fields. This is quintessential Vietnam at its best and Emeralda is by far the best option in this luminous region.
The rooms sit within nine low level clusters, each home to its own swimming pool and a BBQ area. The rooms are stylish but homely, taking inspiration from Northern Delta architecture. There are spacious superior, deluxe and duplex rooms; think terracotta tiles, wooden beds, crisp white sheets and mountain views. We think they are perfectly comfortable without being overly luxurious.
At the heart of the property is Organics, a modern restaurant that serves dishes with fresh vegetables and herbs sourced from the local area. You'll also find a spa with the option of daily Tai Chi and yoga.
Emeralda is perfectly located for access the Van Long Nature Reserve and is ideal for those wishing to walk and cycle through exquisite scenery whilst having somewhere very comfortable to come back to at the end of the day.
There are 172 rooms in total that sit within 9 clusters. The Superior Rooms are light and airy with tiled floors and mountain views. The Deluxe Rooms are a little larger and feature a private terrace and garden views. They also boast outdoor showers. The Duplex Rooms are two-storey apartments that are perfect for families, as these have a double and a twin room.
There are not specific facilities for children but we believe this is a good family friendly option with duplex suites, a good pool and lots of adventurous activities nearby.
Location & Directions
Ninh Binh, Vietnam
Emeralda Resort is located just outside of Ninh Binh on the edge of the Van Long Reserve, approximately 2 hours from Hanoi.
When to go
The best time to visit Northern Vietnam is from February to April and September to November avoiding the heat and the rain. The official peak season in Vietnam is from September to April as these months see the least rain. December to February are the cooler months. May to September is the rainy season with the most rain failing in July and August and typhoons are possible.

Originating from the Schichau-Unterweser ship building company in Germany the LONE RANGER is 77 metre 254 (foot) in length.

The former names or project names are Simson; Simson S. She will reach a maximum speed of 18 knots.

Motor yacht LONE RANGER has a sistership called KHOZAM (also 77.40m) that is the Saudi Arabian Royal Yacht
Schichau-Unterweser was the naval architect firm involved in the technical nautical plans for LONE RANGER. Also the company Schichau-Unterweser skillfully worked on this project.

The RBV 12M 350 engine powering the yacht is built by DEUTZ-MWM. Connected to her Deutz-Mwm engine(s) are twin screw propellers. The engine of the ship generates 4400 horse power (or lone ranger kilowatts). She is equiped with 2 engines. The combined output for the boat is accordingly 8800 HP or 6475 KW. The bow thrusters are Tornado.
Having cabins for a limit of 10 welcome guests staying on board, the LONE RANGER accommodates everyone luxuriously. The boat utilises approx 14 proficient crew members to manage.

Tell us about yourself! - I'm an early-career freelancer, doing artwork (full-process - I've never worked on a project that split the art duties, so that will be a new experience to have one day! ) for clients, and working on my own books when I have the chance. Most of my jobs are outside the book/comic industry, and I love using comics in interesting ways or contexts, but I'm hoping I can get more book work going forward. My own work tends towards gentle real-world-with-perhaps-a-magic-realist-slant type stuff, though I do love fairy tales and mythology, so I'll do something along those lines at some point

Tell us about yourself! - I'm a playwright, aspiring comic book writer, and pop culture blogger. I love telling stories, whether talking at a party or through theater and comics. In my day job, I write for Crushable (celebrities/movies) and Tor.com (sci-fi/fantasy). Whenever I can, I'm having theater staged around New York City and co-writing the webcomic Leftovers--about the crew of a ragtag food truck delivering food to survivors of the zombie apocalypse in NYC. Otherwise, I love tennis, going to screenings of cult movies like The Room, and cooking.
Goal in Comics: My dream is to have a creator-owned series with Vertigo, but I also love the work that Archaia and other independent publishers are doing. Above all, it's to get my stories out and dabble in different formats--web comic, ongoing series, graphic novel.

Work Example: Here's a page from my script that I'm currently working on: Tzedek "Time to Save a Life"
Page 11
Panel 1
It's now 9 am Saturday morning
Tzedek is still passed out in the brush by the retention pond. She lies flat on her stomach in her burnt and tattered costume, her burnt skin now healed. Only her unhealed scar on her back remains.
Nightmares. I always get them in the morning.
Panel 2
Sweat drops down her brow as she struggles to wake up.
They keep me going, they keep me alive…
Panel 3
She awakens with a start and peels off her mask.
I still want them to go away…
Panel 4
Minutes later, Tzedek is back in the apartment complex sitting in the car that the two men had pretended to work on. A few feet away she sees a mother tying her little girls' shoe before putting her into the minivan.
I use to have one of those when I was a kid…
Mother..I used to know what that word meant.
Panel 5
Tzedek begins driving away.
I saw it in action, I touched it and felt it, I loved it…
Panel 6
She continues to drive away leaving the mother and her child in the background. A tear escapes from her right eye.
I used to talk to one as a child and then I was taken away from her…
And then the nightmares began…

General News of Tuesday, 8 January 2013
Source: myjoyonline
Last son of Ghana's first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, stated that he is fast running out of sympathy for the opposition New Patriotic Party.
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah declared support for the NPP prior to the December General Elections after he fell out with the governing NDC.
His decision to quit the NDC, the party he campaigned for, during the 2008 elections came about after President Mills fired him in July 2010, as Coordinator for the National Youth Authority.
The controversial son of Nkrumah then turned his energies into supporting the campaign of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), as part of his contribution to help kick out the ruling NDC from office.
However, he seemed despondent at the NPP's refusal to accept the outcome of the elections, subsequent to which the party has filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the results.
"I am fast losing sympathy for the NPP, but I also don't want to rejoin the NDC. What do I do? Go and drink the sea?!!," Sekou posted on social website, facebook account on Tuesday.
It is unclear which political party Sekou intends to flirt with, after indicating on the same platform that he has no intentions of rejoining the ruling party.

Napa: It's time for a regional conversation about waterMay 23, 2014
A few weeks ago, the American Canyon Eagle ran an editorial contrasting the city's challenges obtaining a reliable water source for our community with the demand for new development. The editorial focused on the proposed Watson Ranch development; however, there are other proposed projects that would serve as suitable examples. I would like to provide some additional food for thought on the issue of water supply.

Lellant Early Origins
Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Lellant Spelling Variations
Lellant Spelling Variations
Lellant has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Many variations of the name Lellant have been found, including Leyland, Leland, Lelland, Leeland, Lealand and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Lellants to arrive on North American shores: Christopher Leland, who settled in Barbados with his servants in 1680; John Leyland, who arrived in Virginia in 1698; Adam Leland, who settled in Boston in 1715.

The shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines plane with nearly 300 people on board over war-torn eastern Ukraine is likely to have profound consequences for the world's airlines.
Airlines are already being more vigilant about avoiding trouble spots. That will make flights longer and more costly because of the need for extra fuel an expense that will be passed on to passengers. They may be quicker to abandon routes near conflict areas.
In the aftermath of Thursday's disaster, carriers around the globe rerouted flights to avoid Ukraine. Malaysia Airlines announced that it will no longer fly over any portion of the country, routing flights over Turkey instead.

Mortal Kombat
Review by Lethargy
"It's just like the arcade, but worse!"
Mortal Kombat offered a certain something that most other Arcade games at the time failed to offer: gore. Not surprisingly, this thrust Mortal Kombat to the front of every arcade. For a while you'd be hard pressed to find a corner store with a Mortal Kombat machine at the back. With the game's incredible success, the next logical step to milk more money out of the title was to port the game onto home consoles. And that's exactly what they did.
Who can forget the hoopla surrounding Mortal Monday' the day when Mortal Kombat was to be released simultaneously of four systems (SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and maybe Game Gear). I'm sure we all remember the commercial featuring the wild eyed youths straggling around the streets, banding together to form some zombie legion, and yelling MORTAL KOMBAT!!! at the skies.
Unfortunately, all the home versions blew. The portable versions didn't feature all the fighters or all the moves. The graphics also suffered horribly. The SNES version had everything except the gore. All the blood was replaced with sweat' or blood changed to gray, and all the fatalities were modified. The Genesis version looked to be even worse, all blood was removed and lame fatalities replaced the old ones.
That was until everyone heard about the code. One code allowed you to cheat in so many ways, it almost made the game worthwhile. You could turn on all the gore, you could set it up so you could always fight Reptile, you could set it up so you could test your strength after every match. It was actually fun for a few days.
That was until I realized that Mortal Kombat isn't a good game. In any incarnation. The gore is stupid, not cool. Really the only thing I like about the game is the cheesy music and digitized voices. And a block button? Screw that, I'll hold back if I want to block, thank you.
So, if you love MK and want to play it at home, the genesis version is your best bet. If you have matured any since you were 11, pass this one up.

Hi Dr. Sears,
Thanks so much for having this board. My four year old had a reaction at two months old after receiving pentacel and the rotavirus vaccine. The reaction was a high pitched scream and inconsolable crying for close to three and a half hours. We were told that the reaction was most likely due to the pertussis portion of pentacel. Since that time we've selectively vaccinated and received few vaccines (hib, one dose of polio, one rotavirus and a dose of prevnar).I followed your book as to what you felt was important and was the least reactive. I'm torn as to what is best to do at this point and would greatly appreciate your opinion. We've been contemplating Dt but I recall reading on the AskDrSears board that you had in the past that tetanus could possibly be quite reactive when there is a history of reactions to Dtap? Do the chances of a reaction lessen as a child gets older? Our state mandates so many vaccines and I can't sleep at night thinking of what is best to do especially regarding the MMR, Hep B and the varicella vaccine. What do you recommend to parents whose children had similar reactions?
Thank you again Dr. Sears so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to have this board.
I would not get the DTaP anymore, ever. REactions can worsen. I would say there is no safe age for your child, given the reaction. I would not bother with DT either, since we don't have D in the U.S. and T is extremely rare. IF you feel you should get T later, you could - but I'd wait until the preteen years when the risk of T goes up a tiny bit. I think you can continue to carefully vaccinate with other vaccines, as long as they are tolerated well.
Dr. Sears- Thank you so much for your reply. I will not even consider Dtap or even Dt. We've been extremely cautious since and haven't given many vaccines (only a few of the least reactive vaccines according to your book) and when we did only one vaccine was given at a time and was spaced out (for example only one vaccine was given last year). I'm now at the point of deciding about the more reactive ones and whether or not to give them. We have about a year before school and I'm trying to figure out a safe schedule. Is there any vaccine in particular that you feel would be better tolerated over another (such as hep b vs. MMR)? Have you seen similar reactions to pentacel or other vaccines?
When I took my child the following day after the reaction I was told by the doctor that if there is any type of neurological issue in the future it would be related to the vaccine. My child is very sensitive to loud noise such as the dryers in rest rooms, hair dryers, dog barking, etc. Do you feel that there is a link to the vaccine reaction? It's disheartening and I'm so torn as to what's best to do.
I can't thank you enough for all of your research and I truly value your opinion. You book has been such a valuable guide to my friends and I. I wish there were more doctors out there like you that are honest and truly care for children and their parents in every respect.
If your child is sensitive to noise like that, this may be a type of sensory/auditory processing disorder. I can't really give you details on that here, but if it is such a sensitivity, I'd recommend NO more vaccines. It could be related to the vaccine reaction, but it may now - and there's no way to tell now.

Marty Raybon Reunites With Shenandoah
After 17 long years, Marty Raybon is returning as the lead singer of Shenandoah!
Raybon co-founded the group in 1984 with bass player Ralph Ezell, drummer Mike McGuire, guitar player Jim Seales and keyboard player Stan Thorn, before leaving in 1997. After Raybon left, the group split up, but then Seales and McGuire got the band back together with new members in 2000. Ezell even came back to the group after and stayed until his death in 2007.
"We were not a band that broke up because of dissension. We had our disagreements, as partners do in a business relationship, [but] we were then and remain to be friends," Raybon tells Rolling Stone Country. "Returning to the band had actually been talked about on several different occasions throughout the years."
The current band consists of McGuire, Stan Munsey and Chris Lucas, and they're thrilled with Raybon's return.
"Having Marty back is like putting on an old baseball glove that fit your hand perfectly a long time ago," McGuire shares. "We're like brothers, so playing all our old hits together again feels natural … [T]here will be new faces with us. But at the end of the day, having Marty's voice coming out of the speakers again will make it be Shenandoah all over again."
Raybon's first live show with Shenandoah will be Oct. 24 in Enoch, Alberta. He wants to balance new with old, but do things even better this time around.
The group has done a lot since they formed. They put 26 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Charts from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s. During that time, they had five No. 1 hits and won the ACM Award for Vocal Group of the Year in 1991.
"I've always been truly proud of what we accomplished … the songs we recorded, the way they moved people," Raybon says. "For years, all of us have heard what those tunes, those stories, meant to folks. We feel there is more to be said."
Adds the country star, "So it's time to reload and fulfill the request of fans who want to see us back together."

Dassel man sentenced to 12 years for sex abuse, porn
LITCHFIELD — A 24-year-old Dassel man was sentenced Thursday to 150 months, or 12½ years, in prison on multiple felony counts of criminal sexual conduct, the use or a minor in pornographic work, possession of pornography and possession of weapons by an individual convicted of a violent crime for sexually abusing and making videos of a girl for 10 years and for possessing guns found in his residence.
Nathan Charles Robert Schwartz's sentence was handed down by District Judge David Mennis. Schwartz was also ordered to serve a 10-year conditional release period, according to Meeker County Attorney Tony Spector.
Schwartz also faces another set of criminal sexual conduct charges, which are set for trial in September, and an assault trial May 28, for a misdemeanor fifth-degree assault on another inmate in the Meeker County Jail. That incident occurred Jan. 2 and involved Schwartz allegedly assaulting a man who called Schwartz out on his criminal sexual conduct.
The initial investigation began in September 2012, when investigators received information that a girl, now 15, had been abused by Schwartz for years at a rural Dassel residence.
She also told investigators that Schwartz touched her private body parts and made her touch his private parts, plus made her dance nearly naked in front of a video camera and for photographs.
The videos and photographs were recovered when investigators executed a search warrant on Schwartz's computer. Two guns were also recovered from the home when the warrant was served on Schwartz's residence. The investigation revealed that Schwartz had purchased the guns at a Hutchinson gun show and photos on the computer showed him with the weapon.
He was a registered predatory offender, having been adjudicated delinquent in 2008 on a second-degree criminal sexual conduct charge and therefore not eligible to possess firearms.

Brothers in arms: A brief history of sibling terror plots
- By Colin Daileda<p> Colin Daileda is a researcher at Foreign Policy. </p>
News that the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings are brothers has sparked a great deal of interest in their family history and the relationship between the two siblings. But if they were indeed behind the assault, they wouldn't be the first brothers to plot or carry out such an attack. Here is a look at some of their predecessors in recent years:
Duka brothers
In 2009, three brothers –ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia — were convicted of plotting to murder military personnel at Fort Dix, a base south of Trenton, N.J, along with two other men. Dritan Duka and Shain Duka received life in prison plus thirty years, while Eljvir received life imprisonment. The brothers claim they're innocent.
Merah brothers
Last March, Mohammed Merah fatally shot a rabbi, three Jewish schoolchildren, and three French paratroopers in an attack in Toulouse, France before he himself was gunned down in a shootout with police. Merah, who claimed he was trained by al Qaeda, said the attack stemmed from France's ban on the full Muslim veil, the country's presence in Afghanistan, and his disgust over the treatment of Palestinians. His brother Abdelkader is being held in France on charges of complicity.
Qazi brothers
Late last year, Sheheryar Alam Qazi and Raees Alam Qazi were charged with aiding terrorists and planning to detonate a weapon of mass destruction in the United States (U.S. prosecutors say Raees wanted to retaliate against U.S. drone strikes in Afghanistan by blowing up a New York City landmark). The Florida-based brothers are both naturalized U.S. citizens from Pakistan.
Warsame brothers
In March, a Danish court convicted two Danish brothers from Somalia of planning a terror attack with Somalia's al-Shabab militants, and sentenced each to three and a half years in prison. Guleed Mohamed Warsame and Nuur Mohamed Warsame were found guilty of conspiring to send Guleed to a Shabab-run training camp in Somalia.
Quider brothers
In January, two Bedouin brothers from the Negev confessed to a plot to fire rockets at Israel and stage a suicide bombing at a bus station in Beersheba. Mahmoud Abu Quider reportedly scouted the attack sites, while his brother, Samah, was to help carry out the assaults.

Final beer opening how-to video you'll ever need
The folks at Buzzfeed thought they mastered how to open a beer, but one man has taken it a step further in what I can only hope puts an end to all this nonsense.
If you didn't see the video I'm referring too, a guy knocked a bottle of the table and then, voila, it's open. Talk about a waste of beer. I hope they cleaned that floor beforehand and then drank the fallen soldier with a swizzle straw. This guy really knows how to open a beer in impressive fashion. Forget tools, hacks, and magic…just crack the top and drink it. Sometimes simplicity is really the best option.

Class size is an incessant policy issue—something like a leaky faucet. The din of the class-size debate drips in the background while the thunderclaps roar (Common Core! Charters!). Many parents and teachers drone on about class-size reductions; fiscal hawks want class-size increases. Meanwhile, wonks have observed America's shrinking teacher to pupil ratio, with trivial achievement gains to boot.
Education reformers—including Fordham (see our excellent, brand-new Right-sizing the Classroom study)—have urged commonsense policies that put a school's best teachers in front of more students. Doing this may boost student achievement—perhaps, as we found in our study, more so in upper-grade levels than elementary. But oftentimes this means the scrapping maximum class size mandates etched into teacher contracts or state law, a difficult task. Bryan Hassel, co-director of Public Impact, articulates this position well, saying, "Ideally, schools would focus on increasing the number of students their best teachers have responsibility for."
But it is MOOCs ("Massive Open Online Courses") that have the potential to stretch the class-size debate the furthest. MOOCs could put the nation's best teachers—not just a school's best teachers—in front of more students. Presently, these online courses run the gamut, from an advanced high-school/freshman college course to advanced college-level courses. Professors from the nation's top rated colleges and universities teach the courses. One can select from a smorgasbord of topics: Coursera and edX—the major players in the MOOC market—publicize, for instance, courses in Data Analysis (Johns Hopkins), Jazz Appreciation (University of Texas), and Inspiring Leadership (Case Western). The kicker: Enrollment is free.
The upside? A single, great instructor—one with superior content knowledge and pedagogical skill—can teach literally tens of thousands of students. MOOCs could be a game-changer for high-aptitude, rural high-school students who have slim access to advanced coursework. In 2011-12, for example, a staggering 149 out of 231 rural school districts in Ohio reported that less than ten of their high-school graduates had taken an Advanced Placement exam. It could even shake up secondary education in America's leafy suburbs. What "white suburban mom" would balk at their child taking a course from a Harvard prof, on school time?
True, MOOCs, as presently constituted, are obviously more applicable to higher education. But there is no reason to think they cannot be applied in a niche sort-of-way in K-12 also—more likely in middle- and high-schools. (I am not aware if MOOC are being used at all in K-12 education; indeed, if you are using a MOOC, I'd be interested to learn how it is working.)
The MOOC bandwagon is running full steam ahead, but like most innovations, there are also limits. Without a doubt, not every grade level or subject will be conducive to a MOOC. Teaching English language arts via MOOC may not be feasible (except perhaps, grammar). Moreover, MOOCs may not work well in elementary grades. I also have strong reservations about full-online educational experiences—and I wouldn't suggest a 100 percent MOOC education for any child. For one, there's a ton of learning that occurs through teacher-to-student and student-to-student interactions. For two, the completely online schools in Ohio evidently struggle, which hardly engenders confidence in wholesale digital education. Finally, it is unclear how student work is graded or how credit can be earned when students demonstrate mastery.
That being said, for the topics and courses where content knowledge reigns supreme (e.g., trigonometry or introductory economics) and where the "sage on the stage" lecture remains the dominant instructional method, MOOCs can place one of the best instructors in the nation in front of literally thousands of pupils. And, for free! That is revolutionary—and breaks through dripping disputes over class size—at least, potentially, for some grades and subjects.

(No Small Place)
US theatrical: 12 Jun 2009 (Limited release)
Chicago is what America's all about.
—Hugh Hefner
"You gotta have faith." Uttered by Ernie Banks—Mr. Cub himself—the phrase is at once inspiring and exhausting, a familiar reference to the long wait endured by long-suffering fans. For 101 years, Chicago's Cubs have made their fans wait. When they're good, Michael Wilbon asserts, "the city just percolates." When they are not, well… the city is pretty much used to that trajectory from hope to dismay to determination to frustration that shapes each season for the past 101 years.
Such inexplicable, perpetual devotion is the focus of We Believe. John Scheinfeld's documentary, which premiered in Chicago in June, celebrates the Cubs' fans' stanch commitment to the team and, no small point, their own self-image. The team represents the city, of course, and the city represents "America," or at least the admirable national traits like "hard work" and "decency" and "Midwestern roots and values." For Dennis Franz, the Cubs "represent hope, they represent wholesomeness, the epitome of team spirit."
So do the fans, according to We Believe. Here they're lined up as a series of talking heads—some famous, some anonymous, all passionate, or at least acting like they are. Their reasons for feeling so devoted are various. Franz recalls his father's "joy in taking me to Wrigley Field," while Joe Mantegna calls lifelong Cubs fandom "a curse your father or your mother puts on you as a small child." George Will remembers he made a choice to become a Cubs fan. Those childhood friends in Champagne (located between St. Louis and Chicago) who threw in with the Cardinals grew up to be "cheerful and liberal," while he "became a gloomy conservative. Life-shaping, as I say."
If some fans find comedy in their allegiance, others find solace and diehard community. Jeff Garlin reflects on the moral character of Cubs fans: "They're not for results-oriented people. I like good results, but I much prefer a great experience and the Cubs certainly, every year, give me a great experience, even when they have bad teams." This great experience concerns context, from the landscape (for Will, the very flatness of the Midwest is heartening, with "no impediments to your horizon, it's kind of a blank slate still, where you can go write your future") to the architecture (rebuilt, of course, since the 1871 fire). The city's modern buildings and streets attest to a stubborn will to survive and thrive, despite economic hardships or harsh weather. Scott Turow sums up: "People go to LA because they want to become a star. People go to Chicago because they want a job, it's where real life starts."
Interspersed among the celebrity endorsements, the film includes as well testimonies by regular people. Sidewalk interviewees describe each spring as a new beginning, "like starting a new relationship." (Though they hope they don't know what to expect, one man sighs, "We kinda do.") One couple appears repeatedly, their marriage apparently organized around their fandom, with a wedding timed to fit the team's schedule and a house (and a child) decorated with Cubs paraphernalia. The film includes a brief reference to Steve Bartman, who snagged a foul ball during the 2003 NL Championship Series, but doesn't dwell on this most ignominious fan. (He is not interviewed, as he is apparently still in hiding.)
The regular people interviews tend to be cute and occasionally clichéd. Still, they're not so banal as the segments focused on players. From Mark DeRosa and Ryan Dempster to Derrek Lee and Kosuke Fukudome, last year's Cubs offer up their own reasons for believing. Lee expresses his love for the game in clichés that would make Crash Davis proud ("You push yourself, you take it to the limit"), while Dempster asks, "Let us define ourselves and not be defined by the teams that played before us."
You can only wish him luck on that. The film makes clear that the Cubs' 101 years without a World Series win loom over their fans' everyday lives. Whether they see this as a curse or a character-building adventure, they assume their lot with each new season. As Bob Costas puts it, when the Cubs do win, "the meaning will go well beyond the particular team or the particular season it happens."

How to Be Lazy: 30 Rules for High-Performance Loafing
My friend John likes to wear pajama pants. I'm not talking just around his house, or in the morning. I'm talking all day long. At the grocery store. Driving carpool. I once saw him downhill skiing in pajama pants. What's more, John is absolutely incredulous that the rest of us don't do likewise.
"Why not?" he says. "They're comfortable!"
Here's the surprising thing: historically speaking, John is in good company. As Tom Hodgkinson's wonderful book How to Be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto demonstrates, many of history's greatest achievers spent huge amounts of time in their actual or metaphorical pajama pants, taking long walks, daydreaming, day-drinking, and living lives of organized relaxation that we, in our hyper-busy, overconnected age, can barely imagine.
For example, check out Charles Darwin's daily routine:
- 7-8: short walk, breakfast
- 8-9:30: work at desk
- 9:30-10:30: read family letters, listen to wife Emma read novels aloud
- 10:30-noon: work at desk; end workday by noon
- 12-3: answer correspondence
- 3-5:30: nap, cigarette, listen to Emma read aloud
- 5:30-7: idleness, rest, novel-reading, cigarette
- 7-8: family dinner
- 8-10: two games of backgammon, more reading, relaxing on sofa while listening to Emma play piano, bedtime
The loafing program — or, to be more accurate, alternating intense efforts with spells of pure loafing — worked out pretty well, and not just for Darwin. After all, if it weren't for daydreaming, we might not have Einstein's theory of relativity, Mendeleyev's periodic table, or J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter.
So here's a theory: Loafing is not a vice or a weakness, but an important and often-overlooked skill. High-quality loafing only looks like wasting time; in fact, it's the opposite. Good loafing is restorative, and crucial to creativity and strategic thinking. It's the time for reloading emotional fuel tanks, hatching plans, and making serendipitous connections. Bad loafing, on the other hand, leaves you more tired and distracted than before (I'm talking about you, Internet).
With that in mind, I'd like to offer the following rules for high-performance loafing, cobbled together from Hodgkinson and Mason Currey's Daily Rituals, as well as the suggestions of my pajama-fond friends and family.
1. Unplug from technology.
2. Take a long, slow walk outside.
4. Stare at an object you've never really considered before. The tree outside your window. A pencil. A leaf. A beetle. The smaller the better.
5. Listen to a favorite book read aloud
6. Take a long drive somewhere you've never been before
7. Get a massage
8. Gain altitude: go to the uppermost floors of a tall building, or atop the nearest hill
9. Take a train ride
10. Take a long nap (following the proper rules, of course)
11. Go out in the yard with your favorite book and a big glass of lemonade (from my daughter)
12. Spend all day in a robe or pajamas
13. Make tea
14. Avoid shopping, and shopping malls, and people who are shopping
15. Cook a grilled cheese
16. Go to the nearest body of water — ocean, river, pond — and gaze at it
17. Check Twitter constantly
18. Just kidding; ignore previous rule
19. Drink wine with lunch
20. Listen to a favorite album straight through
21. Go barefoot
22. Go to a museum (not barefoot), find one great painting, and stare at it
23: Go to nearest park
24: Feed the birds, the fish, or the squirrels
25. Take your pet for a long, slow walk (in 1830s Paris, it was considered fashionable to put a tortoise on a leash, and walk very slowly through the city.)
26. Eat an orange
27. Watch the sun go down
28. Eat dinner by candlelight
29. Play a card or board game
30. Lay on grass; look at stars
I asked my 17-year-old son if he had any ideas to add, and he said, "I'd tell you, but I'm way too relaxed."
So I'll ask you guys instead: What works for you? What else needs to be on this list?

I'd like to stress nap.
I'd like make pajama pants in public trendy.
I'd like to do some day drinking right this minute.
I'd like to make an improvement to #24. Feed squirrels an ear of corn, hung from a bungee. We've gotten more enjoyment, penny for penny, from this ten-dollar contraption than anything in the past twenty years — and I'm not kidding!
My favorite loafing is to visit a new city and explore for hour by foot with a custom playlist of music designed for it, and two waterbottles: one full of water, the other full of red wine.
Thanks for the great post, I really enjoyed it!
I'd add: immerse yourself in water somehow: bath, ocean, tarn, river, waterfall, steam, long shower, whatever.
Go to park and just observe kids playing, try to think about what they are thinking and what you were thinking at that age. I have a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl, and it is hard sometimes to remember what it was like being a kid. It is funny how life becomes so much more complex as we age.
Good read and glad to hear that loafing is accepted in the area of high performance…
I'd like to add the following: gazing at the stars at night for a while. I find that a very effective way of spending time…
Add a loafing dog to all 30 points.
I would add a low intensity bike ride either a)in a suburban area and make a point to discuss houses/points of interest with someone either during or after 2) out of the way of the hussle and bussle of the world and just soak it in…note low intensity for loafing…high intensity would be for exercise and would limit your ability to 'soak' it in. One of my favorite things to do is take a camera with me on rides and take pics of interesting views/things I see to share and discuss.
Let a cat sit on you. Pet the cat. You cannot move – you'd disturb the cat! There's nothing like the torpor of relaxing beneath a gently vibrating feline.
I think this why I love our lake cabin so much. Sitting on the screen porch and watching the birds at the bird feeder and bird bath is so restful. Or, simply sitting on the dock and looking at the trees reflected in the water. Thanks for this wonderful blog!
This was all very entertaining and informative (favorites were squirl bunge and books) however way too much work.

Thunderbird and SSL
Having trouble setting up Thunderbird email accounts. Seems that it defaults to none for SSL/TLS. When I select SSL/TLS it cannot verify the accounts settings.
Tried this with couple of my email providers. Know the credentials and such are fine.
I tried the same settings on Fedora and it seems to activate the accounts fine.
Any ideas?
Using Thunderbird for Gmail' pop server, pop.gmail.com, requires Port 995 with SSL/TLS connection security enabled and normal password for authentication method.
The outgoing server (smtp.googlemai.com) requires port 465, your email address, normal password and SSL/TLS connection security.
You'll need to know the appropriate settings for whatever server you're using (they're not the defaults in Thunderbird).
Hope this helps some.
Thank you for the reply tronayne.
There may be others who are having the same problem, as I tried setting up the same accounts on a different machine also running slackware. I can also set up the accounts in other distros fine.
Tried a workaround which worked. Thunderbird could not verify the account with SSL. So activated the account with no encryption. Then manually enabled SSL/TLS from Edit > Account Settings.
A little explanation about the "autoconfig": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...oconfiguration
Furthermore, as long as the ports are open and the client can reach the server and ask it for settings, you should be fine.
Personally I have seen cases that settings up Google IMAP (for my personal account) took a few tries.
If however the same application with the same application version that is compiled with the same version of the email provider database constantly succeeds on Fedora and constantly fails on Slack then it is a different case.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the automagic set up in Thunderbird doesn't, and I've needed to manually edit the settings (just haven't done it in a long time). Seems like you got it, though, so all should be well that ends, eh? It was a lot easier just doing it manually to begin with before they stuck that "tool" in there, but such is the world of click-'n'-drool, I suppose.
Glad you got it going.

Burgher runningback Connor Scott looks for a way out of traffic near the line of scrimmage during a game Saturday Oct. 6 versus Fort Edward. John Kindred (#88) and Jon Russell (#68) helped clear a path for Scott.
Warrensburg football team's effort to bounce back from their sluggish first-quarter performance wasn't enough to hold off Fort Edward in a recent critical football showdown.
Saturday Oct. 6, Fort Edward defeated Warrensburg 26-14 on the Burgher field in a game that could have yielded a far different outcome.
A lack of energy on defense was a key element in the game that squashed post-season play for Warrensburg, but left the door open for Fort Edward.
If it weren't for giving up three touchdowns in the first quarter — the first one was only 12 seconds into the game — it likely would have been a Burgher victory.
The Burghers also had a good opportunity to rebound in the fourth quarter, when short-staffed Fort Edward was wearing down.
Warrensburg launched a drive, deep in their own territory, that could have given them the lead. But the Forts' defenders read the setup on a fourth-down pass play, intercepted the throw and ran the interception 26 yards into the end zone to secure the win.
The Burghers' signature locomotive up-the middle runs were kept in check by the Fort Edward defense, as they were able to take over on downs at crucial times. Four punts averaging 30 yards, also hampered field position, as did three penalties totalling 33 yards lost. Warrensburg also fumbled the ball once at a critical juncture in the game.
The loss came just three weeks after the Burghers proved their potential, engineering a record-breaking 64-18 win over Bishop Gibbons. The effort showed off their new double-wing offense, featuring forceful savvy blocking, and whetted local fans' appetites for a run at a divisional championship.
Burgher Coach Mike Leonbruno looked dejected as he emerged from the Burgher locker room after the game.
"I'm speechless," he said. "We came out flat, then at critical times, we beat ourselves — they played tough, we didn't."
Leonbruno said his players have considerable strength and talent, and he's looking forward to them playing a competitive game against Whitehall Friday at 7 p.m. on the Railroaders' field under the lights.
The Burghers' defense will have to be pumped up from the opening whistle, however. In a game Saturday versus Lake George, the Railroaders scored three unanswered touchdowns within about 15 minutes of play behind the powerhouse runningback Josh Hoaglund, executing plays called by his brother Justin in the quarterback post.

The Duke of Flatbush departs the stage, but not without leaving his mark on the game, a city, and an era.
On Sunday, the baseball world learned of the passing of Duke Snider, who made his name for the Brooklyn Dodgers at a time when New York was the center of the baseball world, with its three teams each boasting a future Hall of Fame center fielder. "Snider, Mantle, and Mays," wrote the great Red Smith. "You could get a fat lip in any saloon by starting an argument as to which was best."

Jim has the results of his reader architecture poll, with a few surprising results, and a few not-so-surprising ones.
Today we're presenting the results of the sports venue architecture poll that was introduced in my column of March 16. I asked would-be participants to rank--from an architectural standpoint--their favorite existing sports venues (not just baseball), their favorite defunct or no-longer-extant venues, as well as their least favorite. For the favorite poll, points were given on a 7-5-3-2-1 basis. For the other two, it was 5-3-1. The point totals are in parentheses after the venue's name. Thanks to all of you who took the time to fill out a ballot.

'Félix Candela, 1910-2010: A century'
Candela's work based on hyperbolic paraboloid geometry broke barriers between architecture and engineering, opening a new way of architecture.
Félix Candela is regarded as one the greatest Spanish architects of the 20th century. He is celebrated for his feats of architectural engineering that transform concrete into visual poetry with his structural design based on hyperbolic paraboloid geometric form. His work with thin-shell concrete roof structures broke barriers between architecture and engineering that opened the way for other architects such as Santiago Calatrava.
His works are located in Mexico, the United States, Spain, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Great Britain and Norway. His commitment to making economic, long-lasting, beautiful works made him the precursor of sustainable architecture.
Born in Madrid, Candela received his architectural training at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Spain, where he learnt his reinforced concrete shell techniques under the wing of Eduardo Torroja. Candela exiled to Mexico in 1939 following the Spanish Cilvil War, where co-founded the construction firm Cubiertas Ala. It was there that Candela's career reached its peak.
The success of his work in Mexico led to commissions thoughout Latin America and Europe. In total Cadela made 1,439 projects, of which 896 were built in countries as far flung as Mexico, the United Status, Spain, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Great Britain and Norway.
The exhibition at the Wallach Art Gallery revolves around Candela's vast body of work including the Cosmic Rays Laboratory, his first hyperbolic paraboloid shell; and his self-identified favorites —Los Manantiales Restaurant, Chapel Lomas de Cuernavaca, Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal all in Mexico, and the Bacardí Rum Factory in Puerto Rico.
The exhibition includes 21 scaled models, a selection of pictures from prestigious photographers, a documentary and a number of videos and animations of his emblematic work. Notable is a selection of original architectural drawings and renderings from the Drawings and Archives Collection at Columbia's Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library. The exhibition has been organized by Acción Cultural Española.
