More than 10,000 people attended last year's Art of Sound Music Festival and the Shelby Livermush Festival, which have been for years held in conjunction in uptown Shelby.
This year, the music festival is flying solo for the first time, and Cleveland County Arts Council President Shearra Miller said they hope to reinvent the festival, celebrating musicians past and present.
The festival is held as a fundraiser for the arts council each year.
�The proceeds go to the arts council to help with other programs and to help with future Art of Sounds. I think it helps also to let the community know more about the arts council, and to know that we certainly recognize music as an art form and the importance of it for all of us,� she said.
Miller said the value of music to children and education cannot be overstated.
�We�ve also got such a strong musical heritage here in Cleveland County,� she said. �That was the reason that we started this years ago, was to celebrate and to honor our musical heritage.�
Organizers hope to honor both musicians who have gone on to become nationally or internationally famous, as well as musicians who have stayed here in Cleveland County.
In past years, the Art of Sound has been held on the same day as the livermush festival.
�So this is the first time in several years that it�s been on its own,� Miller said. �So in some ways, it�s like reinventing the Art of Sound.�
One benefit to having Art of Sound separate is that it allows the arts council to focus more on the music and on a specific audience for the festival, said Jackie Sibley, director of travel and tourism for Cleveland County.
�It�s definitely a good showcase of regional artists and we�ve had really good success stories with our music events that we�ve had in Cleveland County,� said Sibley. �We anticipate that the festival will be a great draw to our area.�
Miller said the council always invites a diverse group of musicians to Art of Sound, including those who play rock, folk, bluegrass, swing and orchestra. They also have a drum circle planned for Saturday at 5 p.m. on the court square.
"This is not just a jazz festival or just a bluegrass festival,� she said. �It�s a little bit of everything.�

If you�re a parent, or even if you�re not, you�ve probably noticed the extensive information in Showcase lately about activities for children.
If you�re a parent, or even if you�re not, you�ve probably noticed the extensive information in Showcase lately about activities for children.
They�re collected mostly in the �Family� category. Brief after brief details the numerous and varied options available to occupy youngsters meaningfully during the summer months.
Of course, there are appropriate events in other categories, too, but Family has always been the section focused on children-friendly experiences. It�s why I created it years ago, to make it easier to find them.
Some of them, such as sailing lessons and most of the camps (archaeology, art, theater, nature, opera, etc.), come with a cost. Many, however, are free, such as the children�s theater presentations in Destin, Rosemary Beach and Seaside.
Most of the free events take place � guess where? � at local libraries, from Pensacola to Panama City and everywhere in between.
Hats off to the libraries for continuing and expanding this longtime tradition. The libraries offer not only summer reading programs and storytimes but also movies and concerts and special shows.
All for free. All for children, teens, families. Awesome.
It was another time and place, early 1970s in the Mojave Desert, when I participated in a library summer reading program.
I don�t think I could have survived the wicked dry heat without it and the swimming pool at the trailer park we lived in. They were my havens.
You might imagine correctly that I was quite the reader even at an early age. I ripped through books faster than a roadrunner through Joshua trees.
Fortunately for me, the local librarian, Grace Barkman, also attended our church and deemed me trustworthy and reliable.
As a result, she was willing to stretch the maximum book rule every now and then for me. She also �hired� me to help her work in the county bookmobile during the school year.
Our elementary school didn�t have its own library. So the bookmobile visited regularly.
I wasn�t paid or anything. The experience and getting first dibs on any new books was compensation enough. I adored Mrs. Barkman, the library and my bookmobile duties, which were an absolute treat.
The reward for each book read during the summer was a roadrunner stamp on a map of San Bernadino County. As the weeks went by, Mrs. Barkman often had trouble finding a blank spot on my map and had to resort to stamping the back.
I have a warm spot in my heart for libraries that goes way back. Sometimes I wonder why I didn�t become a librarian.
Sadly, I don�t visit libraries now as often as I did in my youth mainly because of the time limits involved and the unpredictable nature of my job and life.
I once got halfway through a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel I�d checked out when a band trip came up, and I had to return the book. I never went back to finish it, which I regret.
So, when you�re casting about for something your children might like, check out the nearest library for cool things to do this summer.

Praise for The Three Miss Margarets
"Rich, funny . . . Fans of Fannie Flagg and Adriana Trigiani, take note. Shaffer has created a little piece of heaven."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A romp of a read–warm but never smarmy, wise without pretense of profundity. Shaffer tells a good story that's part mystery but mostly an exploration of loyalty and friendship."
–St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"The Miss Margarets are treasures. . . . Shaffer unfolds the story deftly. . . . Each of the three Miss Margarets is a wonderfully realized character; each has a closely guarded secret life."
–The Boston Globe
"A high level of suspense . . . Drop by this charming Southern town. No doubt you'll be invited to join the three Margarets on the veranda and sip sweetened tea, lemonade, or even Gentleman Jack . . . and enjoy the promise of a good read."
–The Roanoke Times

Portland Cement Association officials cite dire consequences tied to Environmental Protection Agency-proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP): chiefly, closure of 30 or more cement plants subject to compliance-related investments, amounting to abatement equipment outlay of $60 million/plant average, and $4.7 billion industry wide. Cement companies' initial and operational expenses related to NESHAP could add an extra $21/ton of cement by decade's end.
In a recent Cement Americas webinar, PCA Chief Economist Ed Sullivan noted that the EPA rule and associated costs could lead to a loss of 27 million tons of annual U.S. clinker production capacity and potentially propel imports to 36 percent of powder consumption by 2020. Escalating regulatory burdens, he added, could jeopardize the cement industry's current $7 billion ramp up of domestic capacity, as multinational producers weigh U.S. plant investment versus overseas options.
Joining Sullivan in the Portland Cement NESHAP: Potential Effect on the Cement Industry presentation was PCA Vice President-Regulatory Affairs Andy O'Hare, who assessed pollutant and plant upgrade specifics. Posted at www.cementamericas.com, the webinar precedes the White House Office of Management and Budget's release of its Portland Cement NESHAP cost estimates. EPA has indicated an August 2010 rulemaking target.

(AP) — Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and the Democratic House speaker have agreed to forgo the dicey issue of local schoolteachers' retirement costs in order to approve a fix for the state's $96 billion pension deficit.
Quinn told reporters after a meeting in Wheaton with Republicans that he will meet with legislative leaders Saturday to try to reach a deal.
Steve Brown is spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan. He says the Chicago Democrat told Quinn that reform legislation is paramount and lawmakers can figure out the financing later.
A solution to the monstrous underfunding of state employee retirement systems has been snagged because Republicans oppose shifting some costs for teachers' pensions to local school boards.
Brown says the goal is to approve a measure before the current General Assembly ends Wednesday.

Opinion One of the joys of The Guardian, or at least what I find to be one of the joys of the paper, is the clearly, obviously, bonkers insane stuff that sometimes manages to get in between those sheets of newsprint. You can be reading along and thinking, yes, OK, this might turn into something interesting, and then you're faced with someone who has clearly entirely lost all connection with reality.
Examples might be Julie Bindel's assertion that foreign women working in London brothels was evidence of sex slavery: half the baristas at Starbucks are Polish too but no one equates that with slavery, only with migration from poor country to rich. Jeremy Leggett has told us that solar cells will be price-comparable with coal-fired 'leccy in a couple of years thus we must throw lots of subsidy cash at solar right now: wouldn't it be better to wait until they actually are price-comparable, and then install them?
This morning provided a particularly rich and wondrous example:
Online matchmaking is premised on the notion of making rational choices. It is perhaps fitting that the language of economics and business has finally – in our late capitalist society – permeated the most irrational, the most human of all areas: the interpersonal.
No, really, he is, he's arguing that being rational about who you seek to shag is a bad idea.
Society has invited the language and practice of market rationality into its midst. It has taken over not merely communal aspects of society, but the very essence of what it means to be human.
Look, I know that an awful lot of people over on the left side of the aisle don't like markets very much. I'm also aware that the assumption of rational behaviour by people gets some stick as an assumption underlying much market economics. But seriously, getting upset about there being a market, and about market practices being adopted, in the great game of love and sex?
What does he think Homo sapiens sapiens has been getting up to since granny was an Australopithecus? It has always been a market: I'll share my genes with you if I can see what it is that you're offering in return. Great genes would be nice, sticking around to help raise our jointly produced babe-in-arms would be better (a look around at today's human race proves that it can't all have been decided on great genes). And there has no doubt been a lot of that shag for the price of a dinner that Ms Bindel complains about too.
There's just too many indications of it all being a market for us not to treat it as a market: that we generally have an equal sex ratio at the time of puberty is one. That in stressful times more female than male children are born is another: females are more likely to have children than men, unless you're an alpha male, something unlikely to be gestated in a time of famine or food stress. We can even track the likelihood of foetal genetic defects as a woman approaches menopause, the utilisation of soon to be redundant capital goods*.
So to complain about the marketisation of this whole grand game appears nonsensical. But if such appeals to our basic humanity don't work, what about the results of this greater marketisation? We do choose, we always have chosen, whom to pursue and whom to allow to succeed in pursuing us. But our choices have always been constrained by those we can meet in a wandering tribe, family circle, while working in the chippie or propping up the bar.
So almost all humans have had to satisfact: get what's good enough rather than pursue perfection. Sure, perfection doesn't exist – Marie Helvin thinks her ankles are fat – but online dating has expanded, enormously, the number we can choose to satisfact with. This all leads, one would assume, to getting closer to perfection than the having to take whichever of your sisters' friends no one else wanted.
Online dating - marketisation, if you will - expands the number of people you might be able to have sex with. This is a bad thing?
Has anyone told the Guardian's Soulmates department yet? ®
*Not accepted by everyone, but the supposition is that it isn't declining egg quality which leads to the rise in foetal abnormality, but rather that the lining of the womb detects blastocysts with abnormalities and rejects them normally. But when menopause is approaching, the rejection rate drops, the assumption being that there may or may not be time to replace the viable but less than perfect with better.

So I always like to do this little post each year. It's the Top 5 new-to-me authors that I have read for the first time this year and who really blew me away.
This year I devoured the first three books from the Creepy Hollow series and I absolutely adored them. They were utterly fantastic and I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. Rachel is definitely an author I will be looking out for in the future.
Visit her Website HERE
Find her on TWITTER
4. Alwyn Hamilton, author of the Rebel of the Sands Series
This year I read Alwyn's debut, Rebel of the Sands, and I fell head over heels in love with her writing, characters and story-telling. I was also thrilled to meet her at this years YALC. I loved her book so much and I am so so excited for the sequel coming out next year. She is definitely an auto-buy author for me now.
3. Lauren James, author of The Next Together Series
This year I met the wonderful Lauren James at YALC and after meeting her went ahead and read her The Next Together Series and it totally blew me away. Lauren has to be one of the most intelligent authors I have read as her series is so cleverly done and thought out. It's really unique and different to anything I have read before.
2. VE Schwab, author of Vicious, Darkest Shade of Magic Series and Monsters of Verity Series
Another author I was so happy to have met at this years YALC. I read VE Schwab for the first time this year and I cannot believe what I was missing out on. Her books are abosolutely amazing.

1. Elly Blake, author of Frostblood Series
Frostblood isn't out until January 2017 but I was lucky enough to read an ARC of the book and I loved every single moment of it. She is such a fantastic author and her book just utterly blew me away.

Previously on Glee, Blaine Warbler did some dumb stuff with Eli C. and so Kurt broke up with him forever — except for Christmas and weddings and funerals and Valentine's Day and Halloween and Arbor Day and Citizenship Day and Groundhog Day and Susan B. Anthony Day. Finally Blaine just told Kurt that they were going to be together for all the days, "And don't freak out, but my doctor says I've contracted Ultimate Tight Pants Syndrome (UTPS) and apparently it's contagious." Rachel got a callback for Fanny Brice. Brittany got an invitation to MIT. And Finn Hudson joined Clown College.
Rachel calls up Mr. Schue to tell him he's the number one main reason that she's about to land a major Broadway role at the tender age of 19. She says he inspired her so much that she sang "Don't Stop Believin'" with backup by the ghosts of New Directions at her Funny Girl audition. Will goes, "But the way I remember it, that song didn't have anything to do with me, and in fact it was the first of many times that you guys had to get your shit together on your own and perform like angels while I skulked around in the shadows feeling sorry for myself." Rachel's like, "Eh, maybe, but I just don't feel right not attributing my success to some man or another." (hashtag glee hates women, wink-wink, jerk-off motion.)
Kurt packs up his stuff to head to Ohio so he can be with Burt when he finds out if his Sweeps Cancer is cured. The sad beautiful lamb has adopted some compulsive behaviors to deal with his anxiety. For example, he's only wearing light-colored clothes because they match the clear blue sky which is a metaphor for smooth sailing, terminal disease-wise. Also, he taps the side of his nose now, twice every hour, like TV sleuths do when they "knows" something. Kurt oughta tap his nose every time he catches his own reflection because he knows that his nose is attached the most flawless of all the faces in the land.
Now you know I love to give ol' Will Schuester a hard time, but there's something to be said for a high school teacher who creates such a safe space for gay kids that they come back when they come home because they know that's where they'll find the best love and support. (Unless you're a young transgender woman who wants talks about boobs, in which case: "Shut up already!" and/or "You're looking extra buxomy today!") The point is that Kurt is back, and for all his talk about Blaine just being his good buddy, he spends an inordinate amount of time mooning over him in the hallway while wearing a pair of trousers that adamantly refuse to hide his light under a bushel. They are what Dolly Parton might call "painted-on jeans, all decked out like a cow[boy]'s dream."

The Mayor and Council assured the leadership of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company (OCVFC) last week it will continue to be the authority over fire service in the resort, despite a conceptual plan that indicates the opposite could be true in the near future.
The issue here is complex, but OCVFC officials and the Mayor and Council hashed out some uncertainties at a public meeting at City Hall last week. The OCVFC will continue to be the lead agency over fire service in the town for now, but it could eventually relent some of its role to a broader emergency services contingency, a result of the blending of the resources of the OCVFC with the Emergency Services Department to improve fire services in the town. That's down the road, but what really rankled OCVFC officials was a brainstorming plan drafted by City Manager Dennis Dare. It calls for much control over the fire company to be given to the Emergency Services Department; assigning "first do" to all West Ocean City fire calls to the OCVFC; creating a new Fire and Rescue Services division within Emergency Services; the town buying land, buildings and equipment from the OCVFC needed for a career company and the OCVFC using the proceeds to build a fire station on Keyser Point Road; transferring responsibility of fire service and ownership of all vehicles and equipment to the town; and more.
It was said last week the city manager is charged with coming up with these types of ideas and plans. Whether they are accepted or denied, it's part of the city manager's job of reporting to the Mayor and Council. That's true. It's important to remember how Ocean City's government is set up. In terms of how government is run, it's essentially a corporation. The Mayor and Council are the Board of Directors and the chief executive officer is Dare, who works at the pleasure of the council, which determines his employment.
On paper, that's how the government was organized to work when city leaders transformed the government to a council-manager form because it saw the problems with a strong mayoral type of government under then-Mayor Harry Kelley. The reality is Dare, who has been in his position since 1990, runs the town's daily business and makes many decisions along with the department heads.
For example, in recent years, Dare's budget proposal has for the most part been accepted as is with minor alterations. The city manager's budget proposal is supposed to be chopped up and refined through numerous budget meetings similar to the way the Board of Education's budget is dissected by the commissioners on the county level. In recent history, Dare's budget has sailed through with the council on occasion cutting some expenditures to lower the tax rate, but what's been approved is generally what the city manager and department heads want.
While the City Council has the ultimate say in how the town is operated, many decisions or plans, in this case, do not come across the council members' desk. In most cases, it's due to efficiency reasons and that's understandable. However, this situation with the fire company demonstrates what happens when business is not conducted in the open the way it should, and the result is strained relations and a fire company that has lost faith and trust in government officials. That may not be said publicly, but it's true.
Mayor Rick Meehan last week called the controversial conceptual plan "radical," reporting it was quickly dismissed by officials as unrealistic and impractical. Nonetheless, it's understandable for a little paranoia to surface as a result because this was discussed privately and secretly among certain elected officials and the city manager and without the knowledge of fire company officials and the entire City Council.
There may be merit to some of the suggestions outlined in the document dated Dec. 19, 2006 that suggests a number of drastic changes within the fire company and emergency services. However, none of them should be explored without the fire company, all elected officials and the public being privy to them. To do otherwise is to give an impression of deceit.

My daughter has severe skin issues. This means I am very careful about what we use in our home. Shampoo, Soaps and Lotions are all things that I have to check carefully. I look for to many ingredients and ingredients that are hard on her excema. So I was really excited to hear about Sesame Street Baby Naturals Line.
Here is some information on their site that got me all excited!
With Sweet Almond Oil and Aloe, Sesame Street® Baby Naturals products were developed especially for gentle cleansing and natural moisturizing.Available in Baby Shampoo & Wash, Baby Bubble Bath, and Shea Butter Baby Lotion.
We have taken extra care to ensure the best for baby: Tear-Free, Hypo-Allergenic, Dermatologist & Pediatrician Tested, Dye-Free, and Paraben-Free. Each formula also contains naturally-derived ingredients to nourish skin and help restore natural moisture.
Exciting Right? If you have a sensitive child like me then you know awesome it is to find new "natural" products! Many items claim to be all natural but are not. Since Sesame Street is a well known family company and I trust their claims I HAD to try these products! I was given the oppertunity to review these 3 items below for you and share my opinion one mom to another with you.
The Sesame Street Baby Natural's bath products that we tried out were Baby Shampoo & Wash, Baby Bubble Bath and Shea Butter Baby Lotion. Now keep in mind that I am very picky with what I use on my kids skin. I was skeptical but hopeful!
The first thing I LOVED about the Natural Bath Product Line was the SMELL! We all love the "baby smell" . This was a mixture of sweet and baby. That is the best way I can discribe it. We loved the bubble bath. The kids loved that it made fun bubbles. Next we used the body wash & shampoo combo. I LOVE all in one products! They save so much time. Now the next test was "Is it really tear free?" And I am so happy to say that it is! As usuall soap ended up in the eyes but there were NO TEARS! When the bath was over and they were dryed off we tried the lotion. Again I LOVE the smell! It was so smooth and easy to apply. The last test was to wait and see if they had any reactions to the new products.
I WAS THRILLED to see the next day that there were still no bad reactions. The claims are true! The Sesame Street Natural Bath Products are APPROVED by me. I am so excited to have a new line that is safe for my daughters sensitive skin! And this one smells better than any I have ever tried!
This line is available exclusively in select Target stores. On The Village Company's website www.thevillagecompany.com, under "Sesame Street Baby Naturals", there is a store locator where all the Target Stores that have the line are listed out by State: StoreLocator . Check that out for the store near you.

Jaap de Boer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 165 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
Beloninggroep.nl is a portal for 3 new Dutch marketplace websites.
All kinds of people from 18 until 80.
We are looking for a simple recognizable logo for the portal (Beloningsgroep.nl) and 3 logos for the marketplaces in the same style. The logos will appear primarily on the website, and also on our office signage, business cards and posters.
The 3 marketplace websites are "Verkoopbeloning.nl" (houses for sale), "Verhuurbeloning.nl" (houses for rent) and "Vacaturebeloning.nl" (finding new employee).
Special about the sites is that every visitor that's wants to sell something or searches new employees needs to set a reward (in Dutch: beloning) for the visitor that's helps selling the house or finding an employee.
- keep it simple, we like logos as 2bits.com, youtube, shoutwire but also really love #37 #36 #7 #24 from this contest: http://99designs.com/contests/25230
- The icons on all 4 logos may be the same, but if you can create a different icon for each marketplace website and together they make the icon for the portal site would also be really nice. Like 3 puzzle pieces that together makes the portal logo.
- background for the portal (Beloninggroep.nl) will be white. For the marketplaces we will use the background in this example http://www.verkoopbeloning.nl/verko…xample.jpg
Update: please read the comments for more information.
Update2: you don't have to use the (background)colors we gave (anymore). If you like to use other (background)colors, you're free to do.

rajjr_tx brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 35 Designs von 17 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
ZapTags is a new startup that uses mobile devices and barcodes to create a link between physical objects and mobile users. A user can create a tag (a QR barcode) and associate one or more different information with the tag called actions. Actions can include information, web addresses, videos, contact info, geo location info, pictures, files etc. Once the tag is zapped (imaged using the mobile device camera), the information setup by the tag creator is transferred to the mobile device. The application knows how to understand and render the appropriate UI for the action type. Each tag is therefore unique to the creator.
Anyone who has a mobile device (iPhone/Android to start). This is intended for both personal and corporate use. For example a teenager might create a flyer containing information, map, pictures to an upcoming party and hang them up at school, or a company might create an ad that has a map and some coupon information. The usage is totally up to the user.
I'd like something that represents the Zap (which is the camera on the mobile device) and the Tags (which are the QR Codes). I have a blue/gray/white color palette in mind, but I'm willing to be impressed by your creativity.
This logo needs to work for both a mobile device and a web site, so please keep that in mind. Also consider how I might use it (or part of it) for an application button/badge on the mobile phone.
I'll be trying to give good feedback, and there is likely to be some follow on work for the winner (badges, web collateral etc.)
Good luck.

|A very large Woodbury-type photograph of Sir Charles Warren taken from an unidentified publication.
Born in 1840, Charles Warren was educated at Cheltenham College, from which he proceeded to Sandhurst and Woolwich.
He was gazetted in 1857 in the Royal Engineers, was given his company in 1869, and six years later became Major and
Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel.
Between 1867 and 1870 Captain Warren carried out the explorations in Palestine which form the basis for our knowledge of
the topography of ancient Jerusalem and the archaeology of the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sherif. This first major expedition
of the Fund, in addition to the information it provided concerning Jerusalem, served to raise the public interest in the work of
the Fund sufficiently such that £60,000 was raised by public subscription to carry out the great Survey of Western Palestine.
In addition to his explorations on, under, and around the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sherif, Warren surveyed the Plain of
Philistia and carried out a very important reconnaissance of central Jordan.
After this he was sent to South Africa where during the next few years it fell to him to settle many difficult questions in
connection with the boundary of the British possessions, which he did with the utmost tact and diplomacy. Returning to
England in 1880, he was appointed Instructor of Surveying at Chatham, but in 1882 he again returned to Africa, where he
established the claims of Great Britain over the disputed territory known as British Bechuanaland. After holding command of
the garrison in Suakim (1886) he was recalled to England the same year to be Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police
- a position which he resigned in 1888 through disagreements with the Home Office. It was during his tenure as Commissioner
that the Whitechapel section London was plagued by the series of still unsolved grisly murders attributed to the infamous
Jack the Ripper. In fact his resignation took place on the same day that the last of the Ripper's victims, Mary Kelly was
discovered. In the following year he went to Singapore, where he commanded the troops in the Straits Settlements for five
During the Boer War, now a Lieutenant-General, he commanded the 5th Division of the South African Field Force. His first
failure at Spion Kop was the subject of much controversy, but on the resumption of the offensive in Natal he succeeded in
forcing a crossing of the Tugela River and in winning an action at Pieters Hill which paved the way for the relief of Ladysmith.
He later held an important administrative post in Cape Colony. He was promoted General in 1904, and the next year was
placed on the retired list. He was an avid Freemason and first Master of the First Lodge founded with the aim of conducting
Masonic research.
After his retirement he took a keen interest in the Church Lads' Brigade and was a pioneering Scoutmaster in the movement
founded by his friend and military colleague, Lord Baden-Powell.

There is no published step-by-step guide on how to improve street lighting to reduce crime, and in any case, every problem-oriented project is unique. You will therefore have to tailor general guidelines to your own situation to produce an action plan. Answering the questions below will help you do this.
The amount of work you will need to do to personally to ensure the project's completion will depend crucially on whether the local government supplies a project coordinator: you should do your best to persuade the responsible officials that a project coordinator is vital. Impress upon them the need for government oversight and accountability. You can then work with whoever is appointed, knowing that the responsibility does not rest entirely on your shoulders.
See Eck (2002) for help with assessing effectiveness. [Full text]
It is clear that reductions in crime can be achieved by improvements in street lighting and that these reductions will be most worthwhile in high crime neighborhoods. It is also clear that improved lighting can reduce crime both in the day and at night. This suggests that improvements to lighting not only act as situational deterrent to crime, but can also improve local community cohesion and pride, which in turn increases the willingness of residents to intervene in crime or cooperate with the police. Improved lighting will also send a message to potential offenders that the neighborhood no longer offers easy opportunities for crime.
Unfortunately, the available research does not answer every question a police officer will confront in a project designed to improve lighting. There is still a considerable need for the exercise of professional judgment at all stages of such a project, but submissions for the Goldstein and Tilley awards include many success stories where police have worked together with communities and local officials to improve lighting.11 Altogether, it can be concluded that when used judiciously "improved street lighting has few negative effects and clear benefits for law-abiding citizens."12

Report a scam for investigation/action >>
As a part of your normal risk management procedures, when you receive an unrequested proposal you should ask yourself if it may be a scam.
This page is a quick guide to help you identify the most common scams affecting the translation industry separated in two broad categories: scammers who want to steal your work and those who want to steal your money.
Scam alerts will be generated to distribute scam information received, including risk management suggestions. ProZ.com members can Subscribe to the scam alerts . Past translator scam alert reports are available in a dedicated page.
Scams in this area fall more in the field of normal risk management for freelance translators. They come from people who usually know about translation and are therefore more difficult to detect.
This category does not include normal outsourcers who fail to pay because they run out of money (although risk management should also evaluate these cases).
A scammer in this category is someone that will send you a translation assignment with no intention of paying you. There are two brad categories: scammers who will create a "ghost outsourcer" that will prove hard to track afterwards, and those that will misrepresent themselves as legitimate outsourcer, or acting on their behalf.
The scammers will contact you asking for your professional services just like any other client would do, but they have no plans to pay you and will provide fake contact information to deceive you and to prevent prosecution. Your main line of defense against this kind of scams is a solid risk management procedure (one of the key elements you need to develop as a freelance translator).
A complete guide to risk management exceeds the scope of this publication but you should:
The scammers will contact you asking for your professional services impersonating a legitimate outsourcer. The first line of risk management (evaluation of the outsourcer) will give you the wrong information if you fail to notice that the request comes from a cheat disguised as the legitimate client. The main challenge in this case is to make sure that the person contacting you on behalf of an outsourcer is entitled to represent them.
Checking emails addresses and their IP addresses is a valuable source of information. An alleged PM of a London-based firm sending an email from Nigeria is a bad sign. Also a PM from a corporate agency (for instance big_agency) using a free email (for instance firstname.lastname@example.com) should activate a lot of red lights
More difficult to detect are email addresses where a small change has been made to the dominion (for instance @big-agency instead of @big_agency). Calling the company asking for confirmation is a good precaution and a company should consider it a professional action.
The worst situation is when the email address from a translator has been compromised or stolen by a scammer, who will then be able to ask you for a job from the legitimate address of a colleague without the email owner being aware of the scam. It is always a good idea to seek confirmation using a different channel (an SMS, phone call, Skype, etc).
A variance of the stolen identity scam has the scammer allegedly acting on behalf of a known colleague to help him/her after an incapacitating blow such as a stroke or an accident). Be specially alert in there cases and don't forget to validate the situation through an independent channel.
Many scammers are foreign to the industry and, even if they may ask for your professional services, they are primarily focused on stealing your money. Be especially alert when someone offers you something for nothing or asks you to pay for handling expenses or to buy some tool in order to get access to a very convenient opportunity. Other telltale signs are:
Scammers will send you a message apparently personalized (but in fact sent to many) promising an enormous amount in exchange for helping the scammer send a fortune (usually in the range of several million Dollars) out of their country (usually Nigeria or other African country). You are offered a large share of this fortune in exchange of their help.
If you reply and agree to play along then you will be asked to wire some money because some paperwork is needed or some corrupt official needs to be bribed. If this payment is made new problems will arise requiring the transfer of additional "small payments that will enable the immediate transfer of the promised fortune". This will continue until you run out of money (or of patience), but some victims have been even enticed into traveling to the country (usually in Africa) to be kidnapped there.
Details differ but some frequent variances are:
The proZ.com wiki: Nigerian scam
Scammer contacts you asking for your professional services. In may be the translation of a presentation or interpretation and/or language support during a business trip, either for the alleged visitor or for a relative that does not speak the languages. Scammer announces that payment will be via checks, traveler checks or money orders to be sent via email. Payment arrives promptly but the amount is much larger than the amount agreed upon. At this point the scammer will apologize for the administrative error and ask you to wire the difference either back to the scammer or to a third party. This transfer is requested via a wire service, usually via Western Union.
The checks or money orders used to pay you are forgeries, or stolen and they bounce even if originally accepted by your bank and you lose the amount you sent back (and may also have legal problems because of the bad checks you deposited in your bank).
In this variant the scenario is similar and the amount of the payment is correct, but then the "outsourcer" contacts you apologizing for unexpected conditions that demand the cancelation of the project. You are asked to keep a generous portion of the money as compensation for the cancelation, and to send the difference back to the scammer or to a third party. Again you lose what you wired.
In this variant payment is made via PayPal and, once you wired the difference, the scammer requests reimbursement from PayPal claiming no receipt of services
* The ProZ.com wiki: "Advance payment" / "overpayment" scam
Scammer approaches you with the promise of many good and well paid jobs. They can be a portal that has lots of leads from clients that need a translator that looks a lot like you, or else an agency eager to start enjoying the pleasure of working with you.
Before you get access to this dream work you need to satisfy a condition that requires a payment from your part. Once you made that payment the promised jobs will never materialize.
The proz.com wiki: "Pay to work" scams
A website that will offer an unlimited amount of high-pay translation opportunities available to you even if your management of language is not so good. No experience required, because the need of translators is so high that companies are begging people to translate for them. Only a membership fee keeps you away from this dreamland and you even have a satisfaction-warranty clause to recover your money. Look for their physical address in their website. Search translators forums for experiences in this kind of sites. People report getting no jobs and finding a dead circuit when they ask for their refund.
Scammer contacts you as an agency offering you good jobs on the condition that you need to be certified by a certain translation association you never hear of before. Membership in this association costs a considerable amount of money. Once you paid said membership you send the corresponding information to the agency and you sit down waiting for jobs that will never arrive.
The ProZ.com wiki: "Translators association certification" scam
Scammer contacts you as an agency offering you good jobs on the condition that you should have a given tool (usually Systran) and offering to sell you a strongly discounted license as a special opportunity to get your services. Once you paid for the tool you never receive it or heard back from the agency. (Note: Systran is a legitimate company and is not related in any way with the scammers.)
ProZ.com wiki: "Tool required / Systran" scam
Scammer contacts you impersonating a service evaluation company such as Secret Shopper, allegedly to employ you as a tester of quality of the services of money transfer company, usually Western Union. You will receive a check,cash it, keep an amount per transaction as your fee and use the remaining money to make wire transfers to another contact in order to evaluate the service of the money transfer company and to report on them.
The checks or money orders used to pay you are forgeries, or stolen and they bounce even if originally accepted by your bank and you lose the amount you sent in the "test transfers" (and may also have legal problems because of the bad checks you deposited in your bank).
The ProZ.com wiki: "Secret Shopper / Western Union testing" scam
Scammer contacts you impersonating some legitimate colleague or client and reporting that, while abroad, his/her wallet was lost and (s)he needs help to pay hotel and other critical bills. Time is pressing because plane home leaves soon and you are asked to lend money (usually via Western Union), to be sent back as soon as this contact manages to get safely back home.
The whole incident is bogus. The scammer has gained improper access to this legitimate contact's email address and has used it to send the transfer request. If you transfer the money it will be cashed by the scammer.
The ProZ.com wiki: "Wallet lost abroad" scam
Scammer contacts you offering a golden opportunity of employment abroad. Salary and perks are very attractive and working conditions are described as ideal.
ProZ.com wiki: "Employment abroad" scam
Scammers create a fake personality complete with pictures (young and attractive), personality and history and then contacts you expressing interest in exploring a possible romantic relationship. If you respond they will try to correspond regularly, discussing family, job, shared passions and other issues designed to earn your trust and affection.
Once the illusion of a genuine and meaningful relationship has been established, you will be asked for money, for instance to cover he cost of the airfare to meet you or a family medical emergency. If you comply you will receive further requests until the scam is uncovered.
The ProZ.com wiki: Dating scam
You get an email allegedly from a bank or other service provider claiming that due to some exceptional circumstance you need to reply supplying critical data to allow the supplier "to solve some critical problem that compromise the delivery of their service". The alleged reason may be congestion of service, changes of the operational environment, detection of unlawful activities, etc. The email may have convincing graphics that emulate the look-and-feel of the alleged institution. The links may ask you for your user name and password of your Internet bank account.
The page is a fake created to steal your private information, that will be used afterwards for stealing from you or for impersonating you in order to steal from others. Some of the links can also direct you to dangerous places where you may get a virus or trojan.
As a rule, no serious organization of any kind will ever ask you to provide your password.

There�s quite an undertaking happening at the corner of South Queen and Springhill streets.
There�s quite an undertaking happening at the corner of South Queen and Springhill streets.
For the next four-to-six weeks, workers from Lanier Construction in Snow Hill will install the basic infrastructure of a music park that will serve as the hub of the eight-county African American Music Trail.
�It documents the African American music heritage in Lenoir County,� said Sandy Landis, executive director of Kinston Community Council for the Arts. �So, it�s not only an enhancement, but it is educational and informative.�
A 12-foot high, 23-foot wide sculpture with images of famous local musicians anchors the park, crafted by the sculpting team of David Wilson and Brandon Yow. A large ring of benches will surround the sculpture.
Off to the side will be a smaller circle, meant to depict the area around a community drum used by cultures in West Africa.
�There will be a walkway that represents a score, a musical score,� Landis said. �And there�s a third circle that represents a bass, the body of a bass. It�s a very involved park.�
The intention is to host live music and other events at the park.
The description of the project from the N.C. Arts Council said the involvement of the local community and its musicians, particularly Maceo and Melvin Parker, led to Kinston snagging a prominent role in the trail.
�Benefitting from folklorists� inventory of music assets and numerous community engagement sessions in 2008, landscape architect Kofi Boone and an N.C. State University design team developed a plan for Kinston, which has informed subsequent design efforts,� according to literature from the Arts Council regarding the music trail.
Boone and his team are working with landscape architects Fernando Magallanes and Terry Naranjo, and architect Victor Vines.
The Arts Council envisions the park as a part of an overall cultural district for the area, tipping the hat to Mother Earth Brewery, the Chef and the Farmer and Pearson Park.
Funding for the $250,000 music park comes from a number of sources, including the state Arts Council, the state Department of Transportation, the City of Kinstonand a Golden LEAF foundation grant administered by the Community Council for the Arts. The Kinston Department of Parks and Recreation owns the land, formerly the site of a tobacco warehouse, and is overseeing construction.
�It will be a community space, an enhancement space, an educational space and a performance space,� Landis said.
Plans are for the music trail to kick off around September.

|Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang's Regular Press Conference on February 8, 2017
Q: British Prime Minister's office reportedly said yesterday that Prime Minister Theresa May will visit China within the year, as the two countries are moving even closer. Can you confirm that? There are also reports saying that Prime Minister May has to strengthen relations with other major countries by making overseas visits against the backdrop of "Brexit". How do you view the future growth of China-UK relationship?
A: The China-UK relationship enjoys a good momentum of growth. President Xi Jinping had his first meeting with Prime Minister May last September when the latter was in China for the G20 Hangzhou Summit. The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to a Golden Era for their bilateral relationship. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of ambassadorial-level diplomatic ties between China and the UK, blessing the bilateral relationship with new opportunities of development. The Chinese side welcomes a visit by Prime Minister May in due time. We are ready to work with the British side to advance our global comprehensive strategic partnership for the 21st century in a sustained, sound and steady manner.
We have repeatedly expressed our point of view on the issue of "Brexit". The Chinese side will follow the developments of negotiations between the UK and the EU. We believe that the two sides, as influential powers in the world, will reach a win-win agreement through negotiation. It is in the interests of all sides that the UK and Europe stay prosperous, stable and open. The Chinese side will work with the EU to move forward our partnership for peace, growth, reform and civilization.
Q: G20 foreign ministers are going to meet in Germany next week. What is China's expectation for the meeting? Will Foreign Minister Wang Yi attend the meeting?
A: The foreign ministers' meeting is an important ministerial meeting to be held by Germany who serves as G20's rotating chair this year. The Chinese side attaches great importance to the meeting. Information about China's attendance will be released in due course.
Q: The UN is going to hold an ocean conference in New York in June. A series of meetings will be held in advance in preparation for the conference. What has China done for the preparation and what is China's marine policy?
A: In accordance with the relevant resolution of the UN General Assembly, the UN will hold an ocean conference at its headquarters in New York from June 5 to 9 to draw the attention of the international community to issues regarding sustainable development of the oceans, and conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and marine resources. The Chinese side supports the conference and will join other parties in making active preparation for it and contributing to sustainable development of the oceans.
Q: Will the Chinese side invite British Prime Minister May to the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in May?
A: As I said, the Chinese side welcomes a visit by Prime Minister May in due time. I briefed the press last week about some details of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation to be held in Beijing in May. A lot of countries are keen to attend the Forum. Preparation for the meeting is well underway. We will invite leaders from regions such as Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America to the meeting, and release details in due course.
Q: The ROK Lotte Group said Chinese authorities halted construction of a multi-billion dollar real estate project that it has in Shenyang. Do you know why? Is it related to the deployment of THAAD in the ROK?
A: I am not aware of the specific project.
It is our principle that we welcome foreign companies' investment in China, as long as their operations in China comply with laws and regulations.
On the issue of THAAD, China's firm opposition to the deployment of THAAD by the US and the ROK in the ROK remains unchanged.
Q: Reports say that China blocked a US move in the 1267 Committee of the Security Council to designate Masood Azhar as a terrorist. The move was backed by almost all members except China. This is not the first time for China to put a technical hold on the listing. How is it going to impact China-India relations? This particular application is filed by the US rather than India. How do you see this?
A: The 1267 committee of the Security Council discussed the listing issue last year with no consensus reached, as members of the Security Council held different views on this issue. As for the renewed application filed by the relevant country, conditions are not yet met for the committee to reach an agreement and make a decision. The Chinese side places a technical hold on that in a bid to allow more time for thorough consultation among relevant parties. It is in line with the Security Council resolution and the committee's rules of procedure.
The Security Council and its subsidiary organs have their own rules of procedure. I hope and believe that all members of the committee will act in accordance with these rules in handling applications, whoever the applicant is. China and India have also exchanged views on this issue. I do not want to see it impact China-India relations.
Q: How do you respond to the criticism that this blockade was carried out by China at the instance of Pakistan?
A: Actions taken by the Chinese side in the Security Council and its subsidiary organs are in line with their rules of procedure. We have, more than once, exchanged views with relevant parties including India on this issue. The purpose for China to place the technical hold is to allow enough time for discussion among relevant parties to reach a tenable decision widely accepted by the international community.
Q: It was in March last year that the listing issue was discussed at the 1267 committee for the first time. The Chinese side placed a technical hold at that time. It will be one and a half years since the first discussion when the committee meet and talk about this issue six months later. Do you think a year and a half is long enough for all parties to come up with a decision?
A: What matters is not how long it takes, but whether consensus can be reached based on thorough consultation.
Q: Yesterday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi suggested that the US brush up on the history of WWII. If the US refuses to stay neutral on the issue of the South China Sea, is there a possibility of China-US relations being affected and the two countries going to war?
A: I believe you have read reports on Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks at the joint press conference with Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. There is no need for me to repeat it here.
China's position on the issue of the South China Sea is fairly clear. We have been saying that we do not want conflicts with any country. It serves the common interests of all parties to maintain peace, stability and security of the South China Sea.
Q: You said that consensus was not reached on listing Masood as a terrorist. What specific factors are blocking the consensus?
A: The Security Council and its subsidiary bodies have their respective rules of procedure for internal discussions. It is not the case that all details must go public. For years, relevant parties have been following these rules of procedure. We sincerely hope that all parties are given sufficient time for consultation to reach a tenable and widely acceptable decision.

Despite the fact that the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 saved most U.S. taxpayers from a doomsday "Taxmageddon," it remains that, all other things being equal, most high-income and small-business-owner clients will pay more in taxes in 2013 than they did in 2012.
Small business clients looking to exit the business in the near future are looking for ways to reduce—or at least defer—the taxes they will incur should they sell their business interests outright. An ESOP strategy can work well for these clients by allowing them to indefinitely defer any taxable gain on the sale of their business. Advisors must be wary, however, because Department of Labor inquiries into these transactions have recently become more frequent and detailed than ever—just when the ESOP may have become more beneficial than ever.
ESOP Basics
An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is a tax-preferred plan created by an employer-company that is designed to invest primarily in shares of that employer. An ESOP must meet certain employee coverage, nondiscriminatio, and vesting requirements in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment.
The primary benefit of the ESOP structure is that it allows a current business owner to sell its business interests to the ESOP and defer taxation on that sale if the owner subsequently invests the proceeds in qualified replacement property—meaning the securities of a third-party company (or companies) that does not receive more than 25% of income from passive activities—within 12 months after the sale. The ESOP must then hold the business interests for at least three years following the purchase or pay a 10% penalty tax. This type of transaction is known as a Section 1042 transaction and can allow a selling business owner to defer taxable gain on the sale indefinitely.
A small business owner who wishes to retire but does not have immediate need for the capital that the sale would generate will find this type of transaction particularly valuable in 2013, now that taxes on capital gains rates for the highest earners have increased to 23.8% (20% capital gains plus 3.8% investment income tax). By the time the owner liquidates his holdings in the qualified replacement property, he may have fallen into a much lower income tax bracket, triggering lower capital gains rates and possibly escaping the investment income tax altogether.
The Small Business ESOP Trap
If the simplicity of the tax deferral that can be realized by an ESOP strategy sounds too good to be true, that is probably because it can be. Business owners face a serious problem if they sell interests to an ESOP that is later found to be overvalued—especially in light of rampant Department of Labor (DOL) inquiries—and some very high-profile cases have put the issue in the spotlight.
The valuation problem is especially applicable to small business clients because it is unlikely that they have a ready market for their shares (because they probably are not publicly traded). The lack of trading activity makes it difficult to place a value on the interests, but other factors add to the problem.
For example, the retiring business owner who is more actively involved in the company's affairs will impact the value of the overall business—and thus any business interests sold to an ESOP—when he leaves the company. The percentage of the business represented by the business interests sold in the small business context is likewise more important in valuation than it might be for a larger company.
Undervaluation of shares can lead to civil or even criminal prosecution following a DOL investigation. The DOL has brought lawsuits seeking over $100 million in repayments to ESOPs following findings of undervaluation in the past year.
The Appraisal Fix
In order to defend against a valuation challenge, the small business client should obtain a professional appraisal of the interests he intends to sell prior to their transfer into the ESOP. As with valuation of small business interests for estate tax purposes, the appraiser should be independent of the business.
The company's financial history will be considered, along with the economic outlook (both generally and within the specific industry in which the business operates). A control premium—or minority discount—may be applied if the situation calls for it, and family ownership and other conflicts of interest can also be relevant.
Importantly, small business clients should note that the DOL intends to introduce a broadened fiduciary standard in the near future, and it is expected that this definition could bring independent appraisers under the fiduciary umbrella. This means that small business owners should expect even more careful scrutiny by these appraisers, who will have their own potential liability to protect against.
While structuring a 1042 transaction to defer taxes until your small business clients reach a lower income tax bracket at some point in retirement can provide a powerful tax-deferral incentive, it is important that these clients be advised of the new complexities that will be found in the process. Valuation has always been important, but now and in the coming months, it is more crucial than ever for clients and appraisers alike to take special care in the process or face potential DOL prosecution.

On Thursday there was confusion and intrigue in the Microsoft blogger camp (yes, there's such a thing). Several new outlets were invited to an event which nobody knew anything about. The invitation by itself added to the mystery. Here's how things happened:
- News outlets get cryptic invitation for a Microsoft event in Los Angeles
- Everyone starts speculating…
- Mary jo Foley starts breaking down the invitation like a boss
- Invitation sent from Microsoft's Windows PR team, not Xbox (yes, they're separate). This meant something to do with Windows & not Xbox?
- Microsoft to talk more about Xbox Music and Xbox Video? We're in LA!
- Ina Fried at AllTHingsD writes a decisive post saying the event is about tablets
- A boring parade of all the Windows 8 tablets coming in October/November event? But it's LA, didn't add up
- The Wrap says Microsoft is working on its own tablet, New York Times backs The Wrap's story, Mashable says there's an iPad-killer coming
- Microsoft enthusiasts get excited. The Courier might finally come back in some form!
- Los Angeles has a Nokia Theater (a possible Nokia tablet being announced at Nokia Theater? If venue was mentioned in the invitation it would've been obvious; theory made sense.)
- Nokia shares two equally cryptic images on their US Facebook page with Monday's date. Adds fuel to the above theory. (I fall for it.)
- Nokia's image was decoded to be a Pure View 808 for US announcement, some hopeful souls expected an 808 running on Windows Phone (from a tablet we went to a phone)
- Nokia was just trolling. Ina Fried at AllThingsD affirms that Nokia's stunt has nothing to do with Microsoft's
- Microsoft enthusiasts start becoming skeptical of Microsoft's ability to deliver something really "cool"
- A possible media content announcement? Partnership with Hollywood studios or content distributors? After all, it's in LA
- Mary Jo Foley speculates a Kindle Fire competitor not powered by Windows can be announced. And Barnes & Noble comes into the picture (fyi, Microsoft recently announced a strategic partnership with B&N)
- WinRumors has learnt nothing all this while
- Microsoft enthusiasts start getting pessimistic about Microsoft's little PR stunt. It will hurt the company if they don't deliver something really "cool"
- Tom Warren supports Mary Jo's theory of a Barnes & Noble/Microsoft tablet
- TechCrunch ends all speculation with confirmation from "sources"
- A B&N tablet to compete with the Kindle Fire which will have Xbox LIVE streaming
- We have consensus!
- Business Insider's Jay Yarow says B&N has nothing to do with the event. His first reason isn't very compelling but a spokesperson's confirmation is
- An Xbox tablet called Xbox Surface? Some of my peers think so
- And we're back to square one with no one knowing anything
- Ina Fried says MSFT is doing their own tablet. She knows Microsoft
Barnes and Noble already has a Kindle Fire competing NOOK Tablet that runs on Android. This new rumored device cannot be running Windows 8 since Windows 8 devices aren't coming out till October. Windows 8 will go RTM in July/August. So what will this Microsoft NOOK run? It can't be Android. It can be Windows Embedded.
For what it's worth, Microsoft has been able to keep everyone in the dark for the second time. The Windows Phone reset with WIndows Phone 7 Series was a tightly kept secret that was revealed only a few minutes before announcement. Tomorrow's announcement should be equally exciting.

Believe it or not, school is right around the corner. But in addition to buying school supplies and digging out backpacks, it's important to focus on a few health-related "to-dos" as your kids head back to school. What should be on your family's back-to-school health checklist? Make time for these important health activities during the back-to-school season.
Make sure a yearly checkup with the healthcare provider is on the calendar to monitor and address your child's overall health and development. If your kid plans to participate in sports, you can likely get any required release forms signed at the same time. And don't forget about dental health. It's recommended that kids get a dental checkup every 6 months to help prevent cavities.
At a well-child visit, your child's healthcare provider should check that your child is up to date on all required childhood vaccines. If he or she has missed any, it's important to play catch-up to prevent illness. This includes getting a yearly flu vaccine. School-aged children have some of the highest rates of flu. Getting the flu shot is the best way to help your young one keep clear of the illness.
Start the day with a healthy breakfast, which is proven to help kids concentrate, do better in school, and have more energy. And when packing lunches, aim for something nutritious and fun. Think healthy kid-friendly pizza made with whole-grain crust and loaded with veggies.
Getting enough sleep is vital to your child's ability to focus and learn. Remove devices from bedrooms to promote healthy sleep habits. And set a consistent bedtime before the school year starts to make sure you're in a routine before the first day. Younger kids should get about 10 to 12 hours a night while teens (ages 13 to 18) should get at least 8 to 10 hours.
School pressures and academic expectations can take a mental toll. Encourage your child to manage stress with exercise. Experts report that exercise can reduce tension, elevate mood, improve sleep, and boost self-esteem. Get your child involved in sports or even a neighborhood game of tag.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Igor Stravinsky
An abstraction of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, Stravinsky's colorfully playful yet foreboding divertimento sets the stage for Balanchine's fleet-footed choreography.
In 1937 Balanchine choreographed the full-length ballet for his American Ballet at the Metropolitan Opera House entitled The Fairy's Kiss (also known as Le Baiser de la Fée), and set to Stravinsky's score. For the 1972 Stravinsky Festival Balanchine created an entirely new work that used excerpts from the concert suite Stravinsky created in 1934. In 1974 Balanchine added a final movement to the ballet which is the version performed today as Divertimento from 'Le Baiser de la Fée.'

Vaughn Gittin, Jr. is a professional drifting champion. The Ford Mustang is a muscle car that is built in Flat Rock, Michigan.
This is what happens when you put the two together.
Just like Ken "From The" Block, Gittin is sponsored by Monster Energy. That means his contract probably stipulates that he has to participate in at least one gymkhana-esque event.
For his driftravaganza, Gittin took a 2013 Mustang off the assembly line and proceeded to drift it around other Mustangs at the Flat Rock plant as part of a "comprehensive track test." It indeed is comprehensive, and he only hits a couple other Mustangs along the way.
(Hat Tip to Matt!)

There's quite a few conversations I never expected to hear my children discussing:
- "Are there any new chores we can do this week?
- "Hey! Let's go to bed at 7 p.m. tonight!"
- "Didn't you think those Brussel sprouts were delicious?"
This week, I heard something that topped them all. My daughters were in the bathroom when I heard this:
Daughter: "…if they believed that, they were basically like the heathens who worshipped more than one god."
Me: (getting whiplash) "Wha-a-a-a-t?"
Turns out, they were discussing the The Council of Nicaea while brushing their teeth.
I wasn't sure what to expect out of a classical education, but I can promise, I never expected that!
(I admit…it makes my heart happy!)
What's the most unusual conversation you've overheard between kids?
