Gaga gives free tickets to residents of Cantagalo due to poor ticket sales
The residents of Cantagalo will show up at Gaga's concert on Friday in Rio, after Mother Monster playing soccer with the kids and drinking beer at a local bar in the favela, asked Janio Tables Neto - Partner Live Nation, responsible for the tour - take several community members for their show. The request will be granted.

Rolling Stone: Three days before the start of the tour in Brazil, sales fail and almost half of the entries still available
Lady Gaga threatens to end the year as one of the greatest fiascos of recent shows in the country. With only three days before the first performance, in Rio de Janeiro, Friday, 9 the stranding of tickets on the Internet has spawned jokes and unusual promotions.
The department store Riachuelo, for example, a partner of the production company of the show, the T4F, is selling tickets at "buy one, get one." Detail: Ads are printed in daily newspapers. Already collective sale sites, as Peixe Urbano and Groupon offer tickets at half the value of the official points.
Such measures to increase the audience during the three days of show - Rio de Janeiro (Athletes' Park, 9th), Sao Paulo (Morumbi Stadium, 11th) and Porto Alegre (the parking Fiergs 13th) - were met with mockery scattered around the internet.
Created on Monday, 5, Tumblr I Won Gaga Tickets plays with the ease of getting a ticket for the presentations. They are legends such as: "I bought The Pilgrimage in sebum and gained entry to the show of Gaga "," I bought a Telesena shaved and when I won a ticket to the show of Gaga ".
According to the Rio newspaper O Dia , the numbers are more alarming in Rio de Janeiro, where the show will be held at Rock City, a huge space with capacity for up to 100,000 people, as could be seen at Rock in Rio 2011. There are not enough sales to 14 thousand tickets, the 86,000 available.
In São Paulo, the demand was higher but did not exceed half of the total capacity of Morumbi for the show on Sunday, 11: were 33,000, 67,000 of available, according to the blog Popoload , reported earlier in the week. Sought by Rolling Stone Brazil , the T4F advises that does not disclose the number of official ticket sales.
The pop singer brings the tour Born This Way Ball accompanied by fun hardcore band The Darkness and crumbly by DJ Lady Starlight.

Congratulations on getting your license!!
Re: Is it worth it?
Definitely worth it. You can use it for almost ANY firearm over 50 years old, not just military surplus. See item 1 below. That currently means anything before 1968. If you buy more than one a year, it pays for itself. The following is copied from the rule from the current BATFE circular on the 03 FFL:
Frequently wrong, never in doubt.
Re: Is it worth it?
From what I remember -- 30 seconds after I sent mine in -- they hit my bank account before I got out of the bathroom --- and didn't the app say -- no refunds
Mine came in about 6 ( ? ) weeks --
Re: Is it worth it?
I m surprised that they still charge $30

Re: Is it worth it?
Well worth it even if you only buy a few rifles each year. Eliminating the need for an 01FFL to become part of your process is worth it alone.

Re: Is it worth it?
It's not even been a remote consideration for me in the past, as I've always done good on the street, FTF. I've been at it for a few decades, and prefer to handle and inspect each item. BUT, the world wide web has added an impact with a greater base of availability. I haven't acquired an 03, and don't intend to, as I'm a Kali resident and you need a COE (more shake down fee$), and must pay a self registration fee of $19 bucks per item. In 2015 Kali did away with C&R cash & carry. My long time FFL charges a flat rate weather it's 1 or 5 guns to receive from out of state, and will accept from a private party. I've been into SKSs for a while, and until the Sinobanians showed up a few years back, Chinese SKS didn't qualify as C&R anyway. Good for some, not for me. PAX
Re: Is it worth it?
I got a C&R when I first started getting into collecting. At the time, Midway, Graf's, Brownells, and others would give dealer pricing if you sent in the C&R. I saved the equivalent of the license fee on my first order from Midway for reloading equipment and supplies! Not sure if they are still doing that now, as I let my license lapse, and haven't had the funds to do much loading or shooting lately.
Re: Is it worth it?
I had one for 9 years starting in 2007. Back then, Midway would give you dealer pricing if you had one and the savings were pretty significant. I saved several hundred dollars on an AR15 upper I bought from them which paid for the license several times over. They don't do that anymore though, nor do most other online retailers. My tastes have moved on to Antiques where no license is needed at all. I dropped it after the ATF started asking you how many C&R arms you sold since your last renewal.

Research Summary
The overall global research focus of Dr. Armstrong is on the development of new approaches to prevention, early detection and treatment of breast cancer and gynecologic malignancies. Her clinical focus covers three broad categories: treatment of gynecologic cancers, treatment of breast cancer, and genetic risk factors for breast and ovarian cancer with a particular emphasis on early detection and prevention for high risk women.
Much of Dr. Armstrong's work in treatment of gynecologic malignancies has been done through the Gynecologic Oncology Group. She has served as a member of the Ovarian Cancer, Developmental Therapeutics, Phase I Committee and Medical Oncology Committees for the GOG. Completed studies through the GOG for which Dr. Armstrong has been a Principal Investigator include a phase I study of taxol, cisplatin and topotecan in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, a phase I study if intraperitoneal paclimer microspheres in ovarian cancer, a randomized phase III study of IV cisplatin and paclitaxel vs. an intensive intraperitoneal approach using these drugs in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, phase II studies of Bryostatin-1 in ovarian cancer and cervical cancer and a trial of carboplatin and cetuximab in recurrent ovarian cancer. GOG studies ongoing or in development for which Dr. Armstrong is an investigator include a phase III trial of paclitaxel and carboplatin with or without bevacizumab in recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian cancer, a randomized phase II trial of temozolomide with or without the PARP inhibitor ABT-888 in uterine leiomyosarcoma, and a phase I trial of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and carboplatin with the PARP inhibitor ABD-888 and bevacizumab.
In addition to work with GOG, Dr. Armstrong has worked at the institutional level on the development of new treatments for gynecologic malignancies. Current clinical trial directions include evaluation of the folate receptor alpha antagonist Farletuzumab in the treatment of both platinum resistant and platinum sensitive ovarian cancer, the use of sequential blockade of the VEGF pathway with the combination of bevacizumab and enzastaurin in gynecologic malignancies and targeting surface lectins with AGS8M4 in ovarian cancer. Ongoing areas of potential translational laboratory research include targeting Notch in ovarian cancer and identification and characterization of ovarian cancer stem cells.
Dr. Armstrong's work with breast and ovarian cancer patients has led to an increasing interest in identifying patients at increased risk of these diseases. Dr. Armstrong serves as director of the Breast and Ovarian Surveillance Service. This service provides genetic counseling and risk assessment for patients at an increased risk of developing these diseases. Ongoing trials through the high risk clinic evaluate screening, early detection and prevention. These studies include an ovarian cancer screening study (ROCA study), characterization of benign breast disease in women at increased risk for breast cancer and an evaluation of BRCA polymorphisms and clinical outcome in ovarian cancer.

I am a big fan...no a HUGE fan of honey-mustard dressing. My kids love it, I love, it is seriously a fan favorite in this household. We are pretty partial. Can you tell? This year we ran into a problem, when we decided to cut high-fructose corn syrup out of our diet. One of the first ingredients, in most store bought honey-mustard dressings, is high-fructose corn-syrup. Seriously! I was pretty steamed.
I started browsing through my cookbooks. I wanted a salad and only Honey-mustard dressing would do. Thankfully Erin Chase, from The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook has saved me again. She has a recipe in there that is soooo good. Well really all her recipes are good, but again this one is good....real good.
It is super quick to whip up. Add your ingredients, shake together, and top your favorite salad. We added tomatoes, cucumbers, and crunchy red peppers to our salads this week. Yum!
Here is the recipe for all you lovelies to try out....

Despite the tireless efforts of the green keeping staff at Macdonald Spey Valley Golf Club, the final round of the tournament was forced to be abandoned with Simon Wakefield and Sam Walker tied for the lead at the top of the leaderboard.
They proceeded to play three tense play-off holes at the 18th, where, after carding two safe pars each in the first two attempts, Wakefield's third drive found the rough on the right hand side of the fairway.
Walker found the fairway with his drive and after Wakefield's second shot rolled off the side of the green and into the semi-rough, Walker struck a gap wedge which finished seven feet past the pin.
Wakefield failed in his attempt to hole out with his chip, leaving Walker to roll a perfectly-weighted downhill putt into the cup to claim the title for the second time in his career, having won the inaugural tournament in 2006.
"I actually thought it missed," said Walker, referring to his winning putt. "I actually thought it would stay up but thankfully it fell in.
"It's unlucky for Simon because he's played well all week. He played fantastically yesterday and my work was cut out. It's a shame but you have to have a winner and I'm delighted to have won."
Now a three time winner on the Challenge Tour, Walker put his cool demeanour in the unfortunate circumstances down to the work he did on the range prior to the play-off, as he hit wedge after wedge in preparation for what was ultimately a decisive approach on the final play-off hole.
"I just stood on the range and was told I had an hour and I just warmed up," he continued. "I hit the club I thought I was going to hit into the last (52 degree wedge) and got a feel for it.
"I think it was the best thing I could do really. I hit three good shots into the last so I think it paid off. I more or less played the play-off hole on the range.
"It's a thing I've been taught to do since college, just to relax myself. I just had to keep my head down and focus on certain things, which I did."
Wakefield, meanwhile, had turned down an invitation to the BMW International Open on The European Tour to play in Aviemore and he felt his decision was justified, despite the disappointment of not being able to play the final round before losing the play-off.
"It would have been nice to go and play but I was happy to play a play-off this afternoon," said the 38 year old, who is now third in the Challenge Tour Rankings. "It was a bit frustrating not knowing what was happening this morning and hanging around for five hours.
"You can't expect anything more when the weather is like that though. The guys did a tremendous job trying to get the course back into shape. As Kevin Feeney (Tournament Director) said in the presentation, Mother Nature just beat us and sometimes you have to take a step back and accept it and move on.
"We've had a wonderful week here in Aviemore though and it'd be nice to come back, maybe not on the Challenge Tour, but if it was ever on The European Tour schedule, it would be great. Overall we've had a great week."
Swede Magnus A Carlsson's third place finish means that he now moves to the top of the Rankings on €86,462 while England's Daniel Brooks, who finished tied fourth, moves into the top ten in seventh place.
Chris Doak finished in tied fourth, in the process claiming the Douglas Brodie Lowe Memorial Trophy for the highest Scotsman for the second time in a row.

This recipe uses pork tenderloin — a tender, lean meat — instead of flank beef steak, which has twice the fat and three times the amount of saturated fat.
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler to medium-high or 400 F.
In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, oregano, paprika, coriander and garlic powder. Dredge the pork pieces in the seasonings, coating completely.
Place the pork strips and onions in a cast-iron pan or grill basket. Grill or broil at medium-high heat, turning several times, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
To serve, spread an equal amount of pork strips and onions on each tortilla. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese, about 2 tablespoons tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold in both sides of each tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Serve immediately.

A sex offender was sentenced Monday to five years in Nevada state prison after he admitted violating terms of his court-ordered lifetime supervision.
District Judge Michael Gibbons sentenced Frank Pepper, 47, to a minimum of two years before he is eligible for parole. He gave Pepper credit for 76 days in custody.
Pepper, 47, who lived Reno, admitted that he had a device capable of accessing the Internet, or that he had interaction with underage females, a felony violation.
During a probation check at Pepper's residence, an officer found cell phones hidden under a couch.
Pepper was convicted in Douglas County in 2008 of luring a child under age 16. He admitted trying to arrange a date with a 13-year-old girl by posing as a 17-year-old on the Internet.
Pepper was sentenced to 18-72 months in Nevada state prison and placed on lifetime supervision as a sex offender.
"People tried to work with you," Gibbons said. "You know what you need to do. Get any help you can get and stay away from any contact with children. You absolutely have to."
■ Probation was revoked Monday for a 50-year-old woman who failed multiple attempts at probation on a conviction for obtaining prescription drugs by fraud.
District Judge Michael Gibbons ordered Roxanne Mason to serve 32 months in Nevada state prison.
She must serve a minimum of 12 months, and Gibbons gave her credit for 243 days in custody.
"Take advantage of what time you do have in there of whatever programs are available," Gibbons said.
Mason was sentenced in June 2010 for the offense.
She was terminated from Western Nevada Regional Drug Court in October 2012 for noncompliance.
For her most recent violation, she admitted using heroin. She recently requested a mental health evaluation, and said she could afford to pay for an inpatient treatment program.
Prosecutor Laurie Trotter said Mason had squandered multiple efforts at treatment.
"The state has provided every single possible tool," Trotter said. "There was no indication of mental health issues."
Mason said she wasn't the same person of four years ago.
"I've learned a lot after almost 40 years of alcohol use. I am asking for just a little bit more help," Mason said.
She admitted the allegations in a Feb. 26 probation violation report including use of heroin, failure to report change of address, failure to keep up with fees and other violations.

Brief Program Description
This Online program is part of the M.A. in Computing in Education, and shares that program's goals. The Online M.A. focuses on the subset of students in the Computing in Education program who teach in K-12 schools or who have an interest in working with technology in schools. All courses needed to complete the degree are offered online.
Minimum Point Requirement
A minimum of 32 points of coursework are required for completion of the degree. Course credits from previous, non-Teachers College work cannot be transferred in to count toward the 32 points required for the M.A. degree.
Required Courses (12 points)
- MSTU 4031: Object-Oriented Theory and Programming I (section 10 required; 3 points)
- OR MSTU 5003: Theory and Programming: Interactive Media I (3 points)
- One course from at least three of the following four areas must be completed. Courses must be chosen from those listed under the respective area (9 points).
Cognitive Issues and Technology
- MSTU 4133: Cognition and Computers
Social Issues and Technology
- MSTU 4005: Equity, Ethics and Social Issues
Educational Practice and Design

Students who meet the Breadth Requirement (see below) by completing the minimum 6 points required in that category have 13 points of elective coursework. Students who meet the Breadth Requirement by completing more than the minimum requirement in that category have as few as 10 points of elective coursework.
Breadth Requirement (6 points)
All [M.A., Ed.D., etc.] students must complete a minimum of three courses, each for at least two credits, at Teachers College and outside the Communication, Media, and Learning Technologies Design Program (that is, courses with a prefix other than MSTU).
Statement about the Required, Integrative Project
The Integrative M.A. Project can be either an individual project or part of a larger project involving several students. For students completing the M.A. degree, this project should be related to their career goals, and should provide tangible evidence of their skills and strengths.
Projects can take many forms, but all must contain a written component. Some possible types of project include:
- Curriculum plans for a class or school or school district, with an emphasis on integrating technology in beneficial ways to support student learning.
- Faculty development. For those in technology leadership positions and working with school faculty, a project may be based on planning for them to learn and use technology well.
- School planning. Development of a technology plan for a school or district.
- Issues paper. An expansion on issues important issues encountered in your studies.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
Course credits from previous, non-Teachers College work cannot be transferred in to count toward the 32 points required for the M.A. degree.
Statement about Satisfactory Progress
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward the completion of degree requirements. Where there are concerns about satisfactory progress, students will be informed by the program faculty and/or their respective M.A adviser, and a suggested plan and timeline for remediation will be provided. If satisfactory progress is not maintained a student may be dismissed from the program.
In this program, advisors confer with students at least once per term, via audio and/or video conferencing, about course selection, progress to date, student concerns, and students' goals in the program.
Other Information
Howard Budin is the program director. He advises those students focusing on "Teaching and Learning with Technology." Ellen Meier advises those focusing on "Technology Leadership."
Standard Policies and Procedures
Services for Students with Disabilities:The College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Access and Services for Individuals with Disabilities for information about registration (166 Thorndike Hall). Services are available only to students who are registered and submit appropriate documentation.
Statement on Academic Conduct: A Teachers College student is expected to refrain from any conduct, including cheating, plagiarizing, or purchasing documents submitted for academic evaluation, that calls into question his/her academic and/or professional probity. Decisions regarding academic evaluation in all aspects of students' work at the college, including course work, certification examinations, clinical or field experiences, and preparation of dissertations, are within the sole jurisdiction of the faculty concerned, including as appropriate, the department or program staff members. Disciplinary actions (e.g., reprimand, suspension, or dismissal) in cases of academic misconduct can be imposed by the Vice Provost or the Committee on Student Conduct.
Resolution of Student Academic Program Concerns: Any student who has a concern regarding an academic matter may seek assistance. The procedure for resolving academic program concerns (see note of grade correction process below) begins with either the faculty member (if the concern is related to a course) or the student's advisor. If the student is not satisfied with the response or resolution achieved at this first level, or if speaking with the faculty member presents a conflict of interest for the student, the student should proceed to speak with the Program Coordinator in the area in which the academic concern resides. If the student is not satisfied with the response or resolution achieved through the Program Coordinator, the student should proceed to speak with the Chair of the academic department in which the academic concern resides. If the student is still not satisfied with the response or resolution achieved through the Department Chair, or if speaking with the Department Chair presents a conflict of interest for the student, the next step is to contact the Office of the Vice Provost. At any stage of the process, students are welcome to seek the advice and guidance of the Ombudsman, who is charged with attempting to informally resolve student dissatisfaction of an academic nature on a completely confidential basis.
Grade Correction Procedure: The instructor for a course has the responsibility for setting the requirements for a course and making an evaluation of students' work. Once a grade has been given, the instructor is not free to change the grade unless the instructor indicates to the Registrar that an error was made in the original grade transmitted. If a student believes that an error has been made, he/she must take the initiative in bringing about the necessary correction prior to the conclusion of the semester immediately following the semester in which the course was taken. The normal procedure for effecting a correction would be through direct discussion between the student and the instructor. If redress cannot be attained through such discussions, the student may next appeal to the department chairperson of the department offering the course. If resolution cannot be attained through appeal, the student may next appeal to the Dean. In situations where the student feels that such an appeal process might not be in the student's interest, counsel and assistance can be sought from the Office of the College Ombudsman and the Office of the Vice Provost.

Kris Allen Injured in Car Accident; Reveals He's Going to Be a Father
(NEW YORK) -- Kris Allen was involved in a head-on car collision on New Year's Day, but he appears to be in good spirits and is excited to share the news that his wife Katy is expecting a baby.
The American Idol season eight champ tweeted late Tuesday night, "Yes I got in a really bad wreck tonight and yes I'm having a lil baby. #gonnabeadaddy" Allen added, "Thank you @ford for equipping me with a car that kept my whole family @katyallen @ZorroPup [his dog] and the little one we have on the way safe."
Allen's mom, Kimberly Allen, tweeted a photo of her wide-eyed son in a neck brace, nursing his arm — presumably he was just making that face for the camera — and wrote, "From Kris: he's in a lot of pain, arm broke, may not play guitar for a while. Prayers welcome please!"
She added, "Kristopher and Katy are both pretty beat up but ALIVE!" She also said that the couple's dog is all good: "Zorro is fine too! Very shook up, but not injured."

Shakespeare on the Potomac
July 1, 2011
Schoolteachers come to the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, to pursue in-depth study of four plays: Pericles, The Comedy of Errors, The Merchant of Venice and Othello. Guided by director Robert Young and leading humanities scholars, participants study the plays, primary sources from the period, and performance histories. They also watch filmed versions of performances and take advantage of the rich collections of the Folger Library to develop lesson plans and other materials for their classrooms, now available on the Folger website.

Thanks for the early review. Good stuff. Want to take issue with a couple of points, though:Gotta disagree with you on the packaging issue. I'm all about fancy packaging (the fancier, the better), but that's overridden by my desire for uniform packaging for a series of films. Case in point: Harry Potter. Warner issued the first two in those nice digipaks, and then changed over to the double-keepcase for Azkaban. Drives me nuts, and the way I've organized my collection, I don't keep them all together because I don't like the way they would look. So for Lucasland to change horses in midstream, as it were, with the packaging, would be a bad thing, in my opinion. I'm glad they've kept it uniform with this one. Save the fancy packaging for the next releases.
And also, there's just one commentary track, yes? Your review kind of reads like there's several commentary tracks--one for each participant. And although they might have been recorded separately and edited together, there's still just one total commenatary track to listen to.
And instructions for accessing the Easter egg might be nice, too--maybe after the disc's been out for a little while. It's my understanding that this one's set up pretty much like the others have been.Thanks again for the review. . .
Well, I'll say this much. If you have the other discs from the Prequel Trilogy and you know how to access those Easter Eggs, then you'll have no problem gaining access to this one. It's in the same place. And as I said, it's very much worth a look. Short and sweet it may be, but very funny.

Summer Wheat
Post Updated: The meet-the-brewer event at the Guild is next Wednesday, the 25th, not yesterday.I didn't know if we'd ever see the sun return to Oregon, but the summer beers were a sure bet. (It looks like they may have encouraged old man sunshine to peek in on the Beaver State, too.) In what I regard as a very positive development, it seems that wheat is becoming a more prominent player in breweries' summer repertoire. Two breweries have wits out, Upright and Redhook, and Coalition just released a fantastic American wheat.
Let's start with the wits. The style is surely one of the most surprising success stories in American brewing. A fully extinct style until it was resurrected by Pierre Celis in the 1960s, it seemed doomed to never be embraced in the US--too odd, too upsetting to our expectations of what "beer" should taste like. Anyway, that was my theory until Blue Moon, acquired by Coors, went on to become one of the country's best-selling craft (or if you prefer, craft-esque) beers.
As its brewed in the US, wit is a fairly variable style. In the hands of Allagash, it is an aristocratic, austere beer--quite dry and tilted toward sharper rind-like notes. With Blue Moon, you get an essentially pleasant beer, but watery, tepid, and sweet. In the hands of both Upright and Redhook, the wheat is prominent--a good decision, in my view. But Redhook has created a breadier version with more body; Upright's is lighter and crisper. Redhook uses ginger--a good call--but I find the coriander a bit heavy, which tilts it slightly to the sweet side. This is becoming a national trend in American wits--coriander-heavy and sweet--probably thanks to Blue Moon. Upright's, by contrast, has a much dialed-down spicing regime. The wheat adds a softness that flows into a tangy, mildly tart finish.
My favorite new wheat of the season comes from Coalition, Wheat the People. It's one of those rare beers that achieves the perfect harmony of its understated parts. The wheat is soft and gentle but round enough to give the beer substance. The Northern Brewer hops, which barely register on the IBU scale, are quite a nice contrast here--they bear the spicy, herbal evidence of their English parentage. It's a great session beer, and as we found out, a great food partner, too. Paired with the triple-sweet pastrami sandwich (with caramelized onions, bacon, and sweet sauce), an amazing alchemy happened. The wheat stiffened a bit and became a crisp complement to the sweeter elements in the sandwich. Coalition is in the process of putting in their side patio, and I can't think of a better way to spend a couple sunny hours than sitting in the summer warmth with a pint or three of Wheat the People.
Finally, I meant to mention that Matt Van Wyk was going to be debuting this year's vintage of Oakshire Line Dry Rye--another summer refresher--at the Guild.

Freedy Johnston came out of Kansas and played around New York until he got signed by Bar/None Records, who released his debut, Trouble Tree in 1990. Trouble Tree was well received, but it was 1992's Can You Fly that got Johnston's name and songs bouncing all around college radio.
I've always thought of Freedy Johnston as the lost member of the Db's. He has a pristine pop quality to his voice and the stories he writes have the same almost-too-clever and slightly melancholic take on relationships that made the Db's' Amplifier the deservedly huge college rock classic that it became.
In 1994 I was working at SF's Reckless Records of London, an arguably cool and decidedly tiny record store on upper Haight St. As always, I was listening to anything I could get my hands on. Johnston's This Perfect World happened across the counter and stopped me in my tracks just by the power of its sheer completeness.
Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage) and featuring contributions from Graham Maby (Joe Jackson Band), Kevin Salem (Dumptruck), Marshall Crenshaw, Marc Ribot, Mark Spencer (Blood Oranges) and David Schramm, who worked repeatedly with the Db's' Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple, This Perfect World is a perfect pop record. Most of it is deeply written, deeply produced and played rock-pop, though in places ("Gone Like the Water") it reveals Johnston's beloved folk-country roots. I've heard the criticism that Butch Vig sucked the edge out of it in the production, but I wasn't noticing that in 1994 and don't really notice it today, 15 years later, listening to it (still) from beginning to end.

Rheinmetall readies Russian training center
Rheinmetall has partnered with a Russian company to build a Russian army training center (RATC) in Mulino, 350 km (217 mi.) east of Moscow. The project began in June 2011 and the facility is expected to be ready for training in June 2014.
The RATC is based on the Bundeswehr's GUZ army training center operated by Rheinmetall. The company will supply equipment for the RATC to its Russian partner, JSC Oboronservice, which will run the training center for the Russian armed forces.
Rheinmetall will develop and supply the live combat-simulation system and be in charge of technical implementation of the project, including commissioning and quality assurance. It is delivering the training management and information system, laser engagement systems for 1,000 players—both vehicles and soldiers—the exercise control center, Tetra data communication system, instrumentation for three military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) facilities, and the warehouse and fitting facility.
The 500-sq.-km (193-sq.-mi.) training center will comprise a MOUT "city," two MOUT "villages," live combat simulation area, live and tactical training areas, live firing ranges and RATC headquarters.
The Mulino facility will be the most advanced system of its kind in the world, according to Rheinmetall. Michael Kriewitz, vice president of sales for land simulation, says it will be the first training center combining live, virtual and constructive training.
The live training will involve soldiers and vehicles moving in a 200-sq.-km exercise area, which includes the MOUT facilities. Before conducting this training, laser simulators, GPS and communication systems will be mounted on the players' original equipment and their tactical vehicles in the warehouse and fitting facility. Eye-safe laser simulators will be used to simulate weapons ranging from small arms and light anti-tank weapons to tank guns, artillery and vehicle-mounted automatic cannons. Battlefield events will be transmitted to the exercise control center in real time and displayed on an electronic map. Virtual training will be added: Using vision equipment, soldiers in vehicle replicas or the exercise area will have the impression they are on the exercise.
Constructive simulation (using software agents, not real troops or weapons) will be provided for commander training, with battlefield events calculated in real time by simulators and represented by symbols on electronic situation maps displayed on workstations. Officers can give commands through their keyboards and mouse clicks.
For the first time Mulino will use a rotation principle, allowing training to take place simultaneously at a variety of stations. An electronic identification badge worn by each participant tracks and records his activities over several weeks.
Before rotation, participants will take part in an introductory qualification phase involving practical and theoretical objectives using computer-based training modules. Only after basic qualification will participants be allowed to move to other training stations, including live combat simulation, commander training and marksmanship at Mulino's firing ranges.
Mulino will be capable of training 30,000 troops a year. The training center will be designed to train a reinforced motorized infantry or tank brigade. After several weeks of training, each brigade will have attained a certified level of proficiency. Use of RATC is expected to be a big advance over the Soviet-style choreographed set-piece battles of past exercises.
Ironically, GUZ (the basis for RATC) is a military exercise area used since the 1930s, including by Soviet forces in then-East Germany during the Cold War. In some ways, Mulino will be more advanced than the GUZ; for example, MOUT instrumentation will permit precise detection of soldiers in buildings, which was not a Bundeswehr requirement.
Construction of the training center started at the beginning of the year and is scheduled to last two years, in parallel with the development and production of software. Personnel will be trained in Germany at the beginning of 2013 and on-site in Russia later that same year. Installation and commissioning will begin in mid-2013 until Mulino is ready for training in mid-2014.
Valued at €100 million ($123.6 million), the Mulino contract represents the first major breakthrough by the German defense industry in Russia. Rheinmetall foresees opportunities for follow-on orders as Russian forces modernize. Four training centers are envisioned, one in each Russian military district, Kriewitz says.

Peter Vallone, Jr.
We thought we knew everything there was to know about Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr., but it took a celebrity ping pong tournament for us to discover that as a college student Vallone took on the Chinese national team in an exhibition match on ABC's Wide World of Sports. When Pol Position asked Vallone who won, he simply replied, "they practice ten hours a day and get paid to play, I played a few afternoons a week in the summer." 'Nuff said.
Jimmy McMillan
Yes, the sole member of The Rent is Too Damn High Party, Jimmy McMillan, became a minor sensation when he was invited to a televised debate for the governor's race, even catching the attention of the writers over at Saturday Night Live, who spoofed him.
Hiram Monserrate
True, most of the controversy surrounding former State Senator Hiram Monserrate had died down by the time 2010 was underway, but the beginning of the year did see the embattled pol launch a failed bid to keep hold of his state senate seat, as well as a failed bid to take the assembly seat of the man who replaced him. Some people just can't let go.
Carl Paladino
How entertaining was longshot Republican gubernatorial candidate and Buffalo businessman Carl Paldino on the campaign trail. From accusing his opponent of extramarital transgressions with absolutely no proof and threatening reporters, there was never a dull moment on the Paladino campaign.
David Paterson
Was there anything the "man who never wanted to be governor" could do right this year. The latest news? He owes back rent on a Park Avenue office he shared with the Democratic Party, but that's fairly minor compared to all of the other scandals that plagued him throughout the years. The good news? He finally gets to leave office after the first of the year.
Vito Lopez
The head of the Kings County Democratic Party, Assemblyman Vito Lopez has always been impervious to scandal, forging ahead with his own agenda regardless of the opposition. But that stubbornness may have finally caught up with him, as the past year saw Lopez come under fire, from challenges to his political stranglehold in Brooklyn to funding for his nonprofit - the Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizens Council - to criticisms about drawing a pension and a salary from the state.

This article was on Babble a while ago, and I feel the desire to comment on it, in no small part because I haven't ranted about anything for a while. The gist is that in recent years (a trend of over a century) the idea of children being fragile and vulnerable mentally while child mortality is way, way down, has sanitized children's literature.
In the twenty-first century, our sense of children's fragility has, if anything, intensified, with hysteria around everything from peanuts to sexual predators. If we see our children's bodies as fragile, their psyches seem even more so. "Parents have been told for fifty years that they are fucking up their kids," says Dr. Charuvastra. "Fifty years ago, people didn't worry about this." Now, we are obsessed with protecting our kids from emotional harm.My parents had a different perspective than my friend's parents, simply because they were about 20 years older. One of the most telling and emotional elements of my father's childhood was the mortality of his friends and classmates. He was born in 1942 and for his school career he would consistently lose about one classmate a year to polio or some other disease. By the time my friend's parents were in school, vaccines were in place and life and death didn't happen the same way. That kind of thing was a sort of constant fear that kids lived with 50 years ago, who will be dead when we return from summer vacation? It's just not a concern that kids have today.
But protecting kids from psychic discomfort may not be good for them. "Is it important for children to experience novel or unusual emotions?" asks Charuvastra. Maybe so: By requesting the same alarming story over and over, a child is mastering his fears about death, punishment and scary animals, all of which are part of real life. Scary books are a kind of play therapy. "The importance of bad things in stories is that they help create pretend space where bad things can happen," says Dr. Charuvastra. "It's better for your child to experience these feelings for the first time with you, in pretend space, than in non-pretend space." Indeed, this ability, observes Charuvastra, "to flip back and forth between pretend and reality, to take a step back and say, this is pretend, in my head," is a skill that many adults never learn, unless we enter cognitive therapy as patients. So a child reading In the Night Kitchen may be developing critical inner resources.
Now, I tend to think if a child doesn't get a chance to encounter scary things in a safe environment, when there's a framework to help them assimilate these feelings, they're being done a disservice. I was a fairly scared kid, I managed to freak myself out pretty effectively without ever seeing horror movies and as I grew up, learned that my imagination had been much worse than the actual content of the books or movies I might reference as too scary for me to watch. It wasn't easy to get through as a phase, but frankly, there are a lot of things now that I'm perfectly willing to do or explore now that I'm not afraid of because I worked through my fear of them as I was trying to fall asleep at 7.
Bad things still happen, all the time, and kids are often forced to deal with issues that are difficult for adults. Can we expect adults who have never had a chance to examine peril and fear in a safe environment to not act like children when presented with difficult issues?
While plenty of people still read the classics, and classic children's stories are still easily available one need only look at the progression of folk-tales from Grimm to Disney to see a progression that disregards centuries of storytelling and undermines much of the stories original purpose. There's obviously still conflict in Disney stories, and they do have value in their own way, but they are not the same stories and the lessons are different from the ones they once told.
Even "Old School Sesame Street" with its frank portrayals of people living in poverty and the occasional excesses of it's puppet monsters is no longer "appropriate for the needs of today's preschooler."
If characters aren't presented with real conflict to face, fear to spur their bravery, choices with consequences, responsibilities that actually affect their world, what value is their story to an audience? The Princess and the Goblin would not be as compelling if it were The Princess and the Robin. Scarlett O'Hara would not be as lasting a character if she were facing the deprivations of School Board zoning dispute rather than the American Civil War.
So why is Curious George no longer ashamed of the results of his oft-dangerous, oft-reckless antics? I think there's a real danger inherent to the idea of sanitizing stories, if for no other reason it makes them really, really boring.
Let's give our heroines and heroes a chance to prove themselves against things that can be called really difficult, even if it means a few nightmares for the audience. The terrifying tales of literature have not become less popular because they dealt with vampires who sucked blood, the reanimated corpses of the dead, or vicious and cruel battles fought by those who never started the fight. In a lot of cases, the fact that they made adults a little squeamish is what made them great, lasting and memorable.

Dave Hyde
Sports columnist
Prediction: Cardinals 24, Dolphins 13
Comment: A schedule against the NFC West was supposed to be a soft landing spot for the Dolphins. Arizona is 3-0, has won 10 of 12 going back to last year and is no one's soft landing spot.
Mike Berardino
Sports columnist
Prediction: Cardinals 20, Dolphins 10
Comment: Too many weapons on both sides of the ball for Arizona, which is 3-0 for a reason.
Omar Kelly
Dolphins writer
Prediction: Cardinals 24, Dolphins 17
Comment: Arizona will attack Miami at its weakest point, the secondary. The Dolphins don't have enough weapons to keep pace with Larry Fitzgerald and the Cards offensively.
Shandel Richardson
Dolphins writer
Prediction: Cardinals 26, Dolphins 10
Comment: Cardinals' defense will be just too much for the Dolphins to handle.
Gregory Lee Jr.
Executive Sports Editor
Prediction: Cardinals 31, Dolphins 13
Comment: If Micheal Vick had difficulties against the Cards' swarming defense, how do you think the rookie Ryan Tannehill will fare?
Keven Lerner
Online Sports Editor
Prediction: Cardinals 27, Dolphins 13
Comment: Arizona is one of three undefeated teams in the NFL, beating Seattle, New England and Philadelphia. The Cardinals have one of the league's best defenses and star WR Larry Fitzgerald. They also have won 10 of their last 12 games, dating back to last season.
Joseph Schwerdt
Dolphins Editor
Prediction: Cardinals 31, Dolphins 10
Comment: Remember the blowout in Houston? This is just going to be one of those games. Arizona's defense will overwhelm the Dolphins evolving offense.
Steve Svekis
Multimedia reporter
Prediction: Cardinals 24, Dolphins 13
Comment: The Cardinals have been propelled by their defense en route to 3-0, and star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald finally had an impact game last week.
Harvey Fialkov
Staff Writer
Prediction: Cardinals 17, Dolphins 16
Comment: The undefeated Cardinals' vaunted pass rush and stingy run defense will force the Dolphins to run, however, a less than 100 percent Reggie Bush adds up to a scoring drought in the desert.
