ZÜRICH, Switzerland – For someone whose league has known virtually nothing but success and good news the past several years, the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar and not to the United States certainly was a tough one for MLS Commissioner Don Garber to swallow.
"It's very disappointing," Garber said. "I'm a bit shocked. We ran a great campaign. We felt very good about it. All of the people we met throughout the last two years, including the last two days, told us we were in pretty good shape."
Obviously, Qatar was in better shape, defeating the US in the fourth and final round of voting by the FIFA Executive Committee, 14-8, at the Zürich Messe on Thursday. Japan, Korea and Australia were eliminated in earlier rounds.
Since contracting to 10 teams prior to the 2002 season, the league has soared to 18 teams with the addition of the Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers for 2011. Garber saw not hosting the World Cup as a fabulous opportunity missed to place the sport into a higher orbit.
"The sport's in good shape," he said. "It would have accelerated a lot. It would have given us a 12-year target to be able to do a lot of things to get us to where we want to be faster. And now like everything in the soccer business, you've just got to work harder and recognize sometimes you've got to do it the hard way. And that's what we've got to do."
Qatar has a population of 1.6 million and has never participated in a World Cup. The Middle Eastern country, which is roughly the size of Connecticut, is best known for its oil and natural gas.
"I am surprised and I'm sure most of America is surprised," Garber said. "I'm disappointed and most of America is disappointed. It's not just soccer fans who took a little shot in the head today. I think it's our entire country, which could have shown the world how passionate we are about the global game and how a diverse country we are to support the most diverse sport in the world.
"So, like everything else, we'll take a deep breath and go back to what we do every day, which is building the game," he added. "It just might be a little bit harder now. It might take a little bit longer."
But how does one explain to mainstream America that the US lost out to a country with such a small population? There are more youth players in the US Youth Soccer Association (3.2 million) than people in Qatar.
"Mainstream America really doesn't understand the world of international sport," Garber said. "They might ask the same questions about Chicago losing the Olympics."
Last year, Chicago lost its bid to host the 2016 Summer Games as the Windy City surprisingly was eliminated in the first round. Garber didn't think the US bid lacked a transformational message that might have swayed some votes.
"We had a great message, but apparently it wasn't compelling enough for the guys that didn't vote for us," he said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 29 (UPI) -- A flesh eating bacterium called Vibrio vulnificus has infected at least 11 Floridians so far this year, killing two. Florida officials are warning beach-goers that the bacterium, which thrives in warm salt water, can infect swimmers via open cuts and scrapes.
The bacterium in naturally occuring in ocean water, and has infected people in other states, including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It killed 11 Floridians in 2011.
Vibrio vulnificus is a relative of the bacterium that causes Cholera. If swimmers ingest infected salt water, the bacterium can cause stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. But it is most dangerous when it invades the skin via open wounds, which can lead to "skin breakdown and ulceration," according to the CDC.
Most infections are successfully treated with a course of antibiotics, but severe skin infections can result in amputation; and for those with weakened immune systems, the infections can prove fatal.
Florida officials are reminding Florida swimmers to avoid swimming in warm saltwater or brackish water with open wounds. The bacterium can also be ingested via contaminated seafood, so officials advise wearing protective clothing when handling raw shellfish. Additionally, the CDC reminds consumers to cook shellfish thoroughly and to take proper food safety precautions, like avoiding cross contamination and refrigerating leftovers immediately.
"It's rare," said Florida Department of Health Deputy Press Secretary Pamela Crane. "But we wanted to get the warning out there to make sure people are educated about it."

In the Unity Launcher, type in input. You will see a few options.
First go to Language Support. You should be able to select different formats to add to you profile by clicking "Install/Remove Languages".
After you have done this, you should be able to toggle between english and korean at the top right of your screen, next to your time and volume control.
If you are still having issues, type in Input once again from the unity launcher, and start
From there, I would also go to "Input Method Switcher"
Best of Luck!
I tried to find the answer to this last night and I got the same problem as you have. I having been trying again this morning. Is this what you want to do?
ㅂㅈㄷㄱ쇼 that is qwerty. Here is what I did:
1) Use System Settings>Language Support to select IBUS as the Keyboard Input Method System.
2) Use Ubuntu Software Centre to install
3) Shut down and restart.
This should put a second keyboard icon in the top panel.
Click on it and select Preferences. Go to the Input Method tab and select Korean. Click Add.
Now when you click on this second keyboard icon you can select Korean and a Korean icon will appear.
You can activate or deactivate the keyboard switching method by using Ctrl+Space.
Now if only I knew some Korean I could show off my success.
(사랑 우분투)
By the way this should work for Chinese as that is the other input method option.
지 금 한국어 를 쓸 수있지 만 the spacing seems uncontrollable, so the syllables are breaking incorrectly. I wanted the first two symbols together, one word, meaning "now," but the input method kept splitting them apart.
At any rate, I had the same problem as Jorge, and already had steps 1-3 in Jame's response completed without any effect.
His answer inspired me to do the following, which got me to able to access Korean input, albeit with the problem identified above.

Price Of Bread Increased By 20%
It is a definite calculation that consumers of bread are in for a tough time, as bakers in the country, under the auspices of Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria, have announced a 20 per cent increase in the price of the product.
The national chairman of the association, Simeon Abanulor, made the announcement in Sagamu, Ogun State, on Tuesday.
He stated that the decision to increase the price of bread was necessitated by the recent Federal Government's policy, which increased the levy on importation of wheat by 15 per cent.
He said: "It was unanimously agreed by all members of our association that the price of bread be increased by 20 per cent, due to the recently introduced levy of 15 per cent on importation of wheat."
He expressed the readiness of the association to reduce the price, "as soon as the prices of flour and other additives are reduced" as a result of the Federal Government's policy on cassava flour.
He appealed to all consumers of bread in the country "to bear with us and accept the new price in good faith."
The bakers' chairman, while speaking on the new initiative by the Federal Government to inculcate the habit of cassava bread in Nigerians, noted that it would "take time before the policy can be achieved."
He advised the Federal Government to ensure adequate training for bakers all over the country and provide equipment for bakers in the country.
He also opined that the only thing Nigeria could achieve in the use of cassava flour for now is mixing 20 per cent of cassava flour with 80 per cent wheat flour as against the 40 per cent cassava flour, being advocated by the Federal Government.
A director at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Titus Adetunji, while speaking at the press briefing, insisted that the Federal Government had no intention of increasing bread price with the introduction of cassava bread initiative.
He stated that the whole idea behind the policy "is to give cassava flour advantage over wheat flour and reduce importation of wheat and at the same time, increase cassava production in the country."

"Oke Wasn't Killed By Stray Bullet, He Was Stabbed By Thugs" – Brother Claims
Information Nigeria recalls a graphics designer identified as Oke, was killed hours after tweeting "Nigeria will not kill me" on Wednesday.
It was reported that the young man had passed away after he was hit by a stray bullet.
The deceased's younger brother, Daniel has come out to clear the air regarding the circumstances leading to his death.
Daniel revealed his brother was stabbed on the neck by thugs who infiltrated and ransacked their home.
In his words;
"Good day, My name is Obi-Enadhuze Daniel younger brother of the now deceased Okechukwu Obi-Enadhuze @O_Okee . I, my brother and mother lived at makinde police barracks, mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos State.
Today at about 11 o'clock in the morning the police station at makinde was attacked by thugs who wanted to destroy the station, I my mom and brother were holed up in our house.
The attack went on for hours before the thugs eventually breached the police and proceeded to set the station on fire, after accomplishing this they set their sights to the barracks and began the assault, they proceeded to destroy every car in the barracks, my mom's 2 cars where destroyed and set on fire and then they infiltrated our house by breaking the door they then proceeded to ransack the house and carted away with everything we own.
my brother on trying to get them to take everything but spare us was pushed to my mom's room and stabbed on the neck, the attacker then proceeded to attack me but missed my neck but got my chin instead, after this my mom and I carried my brothers body to the entrance of the station soliciting for help from the thugs still ravaging the barracks, we were finally able to put him in a wheelbarrow and took him to a hospital where he was rejected because "he was already dead" unfazed we moved him to another hospital where he met the same treatment this was where he bled his last drops of blood and died, his body has now been moved to a morgue
we have lost every single thing we own, as our house was completely ransacked and set on fire the only thing left is my brothers phone and at about 8 o'clock this evening the barracks was still on fire but Okechukwu has paid with the ultimate price
I and my mother are homeless with nothing now but we're safe for now, we thank everyone that has been able to reach out to us, and were able to share consoling words with us in these trying times, God bless you
While we were holed up in the house the three of us said these words together and we say it again " THREE OF US ARE HERE, THREE OF US ARE TOGETHER, THREE OF US ARE SAFE"
Let it be known that my brother @O_Okee was NOT killed by a police bullet but died a hero protecting my mother and I.
If you see this please retweet, let the world know how Okechukwu died. He was NOT killed by a police bullet but thugs in his home!"

Seems more lacking in Supers than your usual chars.Is this a 'lack of sprites' thing, because I wish she'd get her Gravity Storm at least.And the standing sprites feel a little too animated. I feel her face should've remained the same during its frames.
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9AmQ5f_YPo[/youtube]Had to do this for sure! Thanks for another awesome creation of yours Infinite.
【MFG】gui0007 said, April 21, 2019, 05:44:46 AM[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9AmQ5f_YPo[/youtube]Had to do this for sure! Thanks for another awesome creation of yours Infinite.Gui, eu sei que não tem nada a ver com o topic, mas você poderia fazer um tutorial de como instalar add004basic (somente) do inicio ao fim (a versão mais atualizada) ?
- Why are all versions of X-calibur acting like the HP version during custom combo
- Super-canceling into supers before Custom Combo ends looks to have the supers be affected by damage dampering either very little or not at all
- Right off the bat, I feel like you need to fix some sound things: Using Baltic Launcher is grating due to the fact that the slash sounds keep playing rather than cutting off when another instance of the slash sound plays.
- On the topic of the sound fixes, the sort of "whiff" sound gets cut off with Jumping HK if Leona lands before the sound finishes.
- Leona Blade's animation needs a bit of tweaking: Her arm should still be in the opponent until the move's explosion.
- MAX Slash Saber's slash sparks are misaligned, they're more behind the opponent rather than on them like with Level 1 Slash Saber.
Gameplay and everything else feels fine for me for the short bit I've played with her. Definitely keeping her in my roster.
Along with what I said earlier, the knock-back of MK may need to be tweaked, as the 2nd hit will miss (most of the time) if facing herself.
originally i just felt to convert the set of sprites from XIII's, is nice to see her playable, i just downloaded her and play with her...i don't have (usually) a special reason to do anything but these kind of release keeps me on the road....still on the road for some years more to come
Dampir and Mr. Infinite thank you for all your effortsThank you very much for accept this comission mr. infinite.Mugen deserves a good leona! Specially with XII outfit (my favorite!)
RagingRowen said, April 21, 2019, 01:08:26 AMA good try. I would not keep the SAME "chain" for the belt, since each of those parts are different in size, but it's a good try to start.I went a bit further:Unfortunately, I'm terrible at animatig stuff. But here you got a completely CSed Leona with muscle definition AND the chances of making her KOF MI attire(kinda) is there, aside with other of your own creation .
-The setting for POT's Style Hitsparks is reversed (1 is multi-colored and 2 is red).
-Standing MK is missing a landing effect when she touches the ground.
-Strong Arm passes through the opponent while they're in the get hit animation.
Awesome to see you back. This will be the first character I download in a long time.
Stuff like this keeps me coming back, for more.

When I try to install Windows XP, currently using Vista, on my Dell XPS 600 with an nforce4 sli mobo, using a 160gb western digital hard drive, the oddest thing happens. XP cannot detect the hard drive I'm using, assuming due to the fact that it is a SATA drive, and windows XP doesn't have any SATA drivers standard.
So I need to find SATA drivers that I can fit on a floppy disk to install them during the xp installation by hitting f6.
I don't have an OEM disk, nor do I have any blank cd's to slipstream drivers into an XP installation.
I do have floppies.
What steps do I need to take to make a usable SATA driver diskette suitable for XP installations?

I apologize for my absent for this thread. I have been both busy and a little lazy.
The first thing I would like to finnish is the siddur. The Siddur I am working with have been released under a creative common license and should be free for anyone to use. From now on I will start posting some of my work so that I hope it can receive constructive criticism. The first part in creating a Hebrew text custom version for use with BibleWorks is is to enter the text in the CCAT format since Unicode is not supported yet for Hebrew text. Rather, than post the entire Siddur here, I have attached CCAT Siddur Draft to this post as a PDF.

This just in (my brain only): Simon Cowell was so happy with the results of The X Factor's Pepsi Challenge — during which viewers weighed in on contestants' songs, hairstyles, wardrobe and staging — that he wants to extend the intiative for the rest of Season 2. The first of next week's viewer polls will read as follows:
What change would you like to see behind the judges' table?
A. Simon buttons his damn shirt already.
B. Britney without tranquilizers!
C. Demi Lovato eyebrow topiary.
D. Paula Abdul's back…and this time, it's personal!
E. L.A. Reid chair-dancing exhibition.
F. A seat for Mario Lopez, so he can offer insights like "America chose Diamond [White] in a diamond, which is very clever, by the way."
That dude is Rated I…for I Cahhhhhhn't! But hey, at least this week's performances were — on the whole — significantly more enjoyable/tuneful than what we endured for Top 8 night. Let's get to the grades, shall we?
Unplugged Set
CeCe Frey: Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" | "She's relevant, she's beautiful, she's a sweet girl," said Demi, introducing her last remaining act in the competition. And while you could say it's telling that Demi never actually commented on CeCe's singing ability, I'd argue she was using "relevant" as code for, "half the people on the Billboard Hot 100 can't sing in tune, so do you really give a crap if CeCe can't either?" The good news for the leopard-faced postal worker is that she had a better grasp on pitch than she did the last five weeks — and actually nailed the big belty notes on "the edge, the edge, the edge." The not so good news? CeCe is always a hair or ten under the note whenever she doesn't have her personal volume cranked up to 10. "It was one of your best vocal performances," said Demi, but, again, that's not saying much. A yak getting its hooves trimmed would've sounded better than CeCe's "Wind Beneath My Wings" from Top 10 night. Grade: B-
Emblem3: Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" | Maybe instead of going skateboarding, Emblem3 shoud've stayed at home and worked on their vocals. Of course, that would've meant the blonde one wouldn't have an excuse to rip off his shirt in front of the X Factor camera crew. Priorities, people! Anyway, we were promised instruments and originality, and instead we got Blondie limply holding his guitar for half the performance and singing in a vaguely British-esque accent that may have been an homage to Green Day but landed closer to Britney Spears' new mess with Will.i.Am. (He really should stick to "rap" or "sing-speaking," yes?) The other two kids were marginally better, but the bottom line is that given the choice, anyone with functioning ears would choose Bruno Mars' original 100 times out of 100. Simon whined that Demi was being "incredibly dumb" with her critiques, but I thought her description of the boy band as "a downgraded version of the Jonas Brothers from five years ago" was one of the night's most astute bits of feedback. Grade: C
Carly Rose Sonenclar: Justin Bieber's "As Long as You Love Me" | I've been critical all season of Carly Rose's ability to truly connect with material, to stir the soul as well as the brain, but maybe the real problem has been with the song choices, not the singer. Freed from the confines of Adult Diva Ballads, 13-year-old front-runner cooked up a brilliant rendition of Justin Bieber's much whinier original, somehow managing to catch a genuine groove despite things being stripped back to a heartbeat-like drum and acoustic guitar. The refrain — "We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke/ As long as you love me" — could just as easily be sung to a parent or a relative as it could a middle-school crush, but no matter where Carly Rose drew her inspiration, I actually Beliebed, er believed the kid. Grade: A
Fifth Harmony: Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" | I'm not sure L.A.'s had a genuine moment on The X Factor since Season 1, but tonight he had me howling when he suggested Simon Cowell's girl group change its name to Fifth Unison. Seriously, if these chicas want to take home the $5 million prize — and I actually think they'd be a viable, radio-ready choice — they have to do more than take turns singing the melody while the other four gals quietly provide backing "oooohs." Maybe Sister C could come mentor them next week? Or maybe they could Google the definition of harmony: "The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions with a pleasing effect." That kvetching aside, there's no denying Fifth Harmony's individual members have scads of talent, and when Demi remarked that a couple members of the group really should've been solo artists, I wondered if she was secretly daydreaming about swapping out CeCe for Lauren or Dinah Jane. Grade: B
Diamond White: James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" | I'm glad Simon called out Diamond for having already covered James Brown's soul classic in her audition. The repetition especially seemed a peculiar choice given that Diamond's No. 6 ranking going into the week should've prompted "Britney" (or the team of producers assigned to Britney's acts) to make a bold, unexpected move. I also thought Diamond's phrasing got a little wonky on the verses — as if she couldn't figure out when and where the band would kick in — but in certain moments, there were hints of a young Michael Jackson in her upper register, which might be a good direction on the slim chance Britney's "other" act cracks the semifinals. (Side note: How exactly was Diamond's performance "unplugged," what with the full string section and very obvious track? Grade: B-
Tate Stevens: Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" | I liked that Tate managed to make me take a second listen to a set of Bon Jovi lyrics I've heard a gajillion times since my high-school days. I didn't so much like the way Tate awkwardly changed keys midway through every chorus, almost like he was dipping low just to make sure his voice didn't crumble on the high notes that he actually never attempted. Was it accidental? Tate seems like too much of a pro for that kind of mistake, so it's hard to say. Demi (not surprisingly) was the only one who made a small mention of the strange arrangement, with Britney and Simon instead harping on Tate's song choice, as if "Living on a Prayer" is as far away from country music as Mario and Khloe are from Ryan Seacrest and Cat Deeley. Grade: B-
"Pepsi Challenge" Set
CeCe Frey: Katy Perry's "Part of Me" | CeCe is like your friend who gets a little tipsy when you go out for mojitos and suddenly decides that she'll die — actually die! — if you don't all go to a karaoke bar. There, of course, she'll belt song after song as if she's got a dozen backup dancers and an imaginary archway over her head decorated with her name spelled out in bright, shiny bulbs. In other words, she's genuinely having a great time — and, as Britney (!) astutely noted, that's an important attribute in a pop star. Whether or not your friend has any real vocal ability, however, depends on how many drinks you've consumed yourself. Alas, as I write this (stone cold sober), I can vouch that CeCe hit that one big glory note she went for, but was pretty much sharp for 90 percent of the song. I won't even mention those guttural yelps between verses — or the shredded daisy dukes and craft-shop bustier America decided she should wear. Sure, CeCe herself would brush off those critiques as "sticks and stones and all that," but it doesn't mean they're not true. Grade: C- (for vocals)/A- (for ridiculata)
Emblem3: Alphaville's "Forever Young" | I seriously don't understand the X Factor judges. When L.A. excitedly declared that Emblem3 "nailed it," did he mean, like, they nailed the song to a tree? When Britney insisted it was "a superstar performance," was she being facetious? I mean, "Forever Young" was certainly easier on the ears than "Just the Way You Are" — although Blondie confirmed his gurgling singing voice should be forever silenced (just let him rap and flex, Simon!) — but it still was chock full of flat notes and dropped phrases. Plus, Demi had a good point that for $5 million, it's not too much to ask the guys to work the stage a little. Nice followup message from Khloe Kardashian, though, that a female judge can't make tough comments without having a crush on the object of her critique. Ugh! Grade: B-
Carly Rose Sonenclar: Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" | It's looking less and less likely that Carly Rose is ever going to hit a questionable note in this competition, and if I was being fair, I'd just join the audience chants of "Car-ly! Car-ly!" and leave it at that. After all, compared to so many of the people with whom she's shared the stage this season, the kid is sweet relief, a life raft of tunefulness in a sea of blood spilled by so many violently assaulted songs. But note-perfect as Carly Rose was on "If I Were a Boy," I felt like she lacked some of Beyoncé's broken-down resignation — the tired sigh with which she tosses off "but you're just a boy," the ferocity of "I swear I'd be a better man." Simon was right that the lyric was "slightly old" for a girl who's barely into her teens, and given that she did nothing more than a straightforward cover, those emotional shortcomings were harder to miss. Grade: B+
Fifth Harmony: Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break" | In the words of Etta James (and my Reality Check cohost Melinda Doolittle)…at laaaaaaaast, Fifth Harmony did actual harmonies! And they were fan-flipping-tastic. Okay, in the interest of full disclosure, the quintet was inexplicably flanked by four backup singers (should we call them Ninth Harmony?) but the sound mix was good enough this week to individually hear Normani, Dinah Jane, Lauren, Ally and Camila shine bright on their solos as well as their supporting parts. I loved that Lauren was physically feeling the music and expressing it with her occasional shimmying, and I loved the way Dinah Jane just roared with her standard operating passion when it came time for her to bring the song to a close. Simon is right that X Factor wouldn't be the same without this girl group; now here's hoping we don't have evidence of that statement next week. Grade: A-
Diamond White: Rihanna's "Diamonds" | Diamond may have been a little wobbly on the opening verse, but let's not forget she began the performance barely strapped into a diamond-shaped cage suspended from the rafters. That's a high (and frightening) degree of difficulty that those Emblem3 foolios would never be asked to pull off. Plus, "Diamonds" is a very strange choice for a reality-competition setting: It plays like a chant more than a traditional song. And yet once Miss White escaped the confines of her sparkly prison, her voice opened up and she tore the lid off the number in a way that Rihanna could never do without the help of a qualified producer and a host of electronic gizmos. If Diamond is destined to fall on the tracks of the Carly Rose Express, this was a pretty admirable last impression. Grade: B+
Tate Stevens: Garth Brooks' "If Tomorrow Never Comes" | Tate's rendition of Garth Brooks' sentimental ballad was the "buttered toast" portion of the evening's 12-course meal. Nothing wrong with it, per se, but is anyone going to remember it by the weekend? If I'm going to fault Fifth Harmony on their harmonies or Carly Rose on her emotional connection, I think it's only fair to ask why Tate never really seems to take any risks — with his vocals, with his song choices, with his staging, with his arrangements — despite being one of the more experienced acts in the competition. Dude shouldn't be resting on his front-runner status, but rather using it to experiment with bold choices that stamp him as an artist to watch, not just a competent vocalist who'll eventually hit No. 32 on the country charts. Side note: Was it just me, or did Simon's critique sound more like a "thanks for playing, old man" farewell speech than genuine praise? Grade: B
And finally…predictions!
Should go home: Emblem3, CeCe
Will go home: Emblem3, Diamond (with, perhaps, Tate in the singoff)
With that, let me turn things over to you:

In the opening minutes of Rejoice and Shout, the new documentary about Black Gospel Music from Sag Harbor's own Joe Lauro, the camera closes in on a 10-year-old girl singing her own, highly skilled rendition of the classic hymn "Amazing Grace." Beyond the wonder of this young girl's prodigious talents, the moment speaks volumes about Black Gospel Music: a music steeped in tradition yet ever evolving, a cross-generational art form that combines deep spirituality with deeply personal expression and style, and a joyful, exuberant world that is largely hidden from the view of popular culture.
Usually when Black Gospel Music is included in the musical discourse, it is in reference to how it has influenced jazz, blues and rock, or how it nurtured the talents of soul singers like Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Sly Stone. According to Lauro, the release of Rejoice and Shout marks the first time a documentary has focused directly on Black Gospel Music. [expand]
"Mahalia Jackson, the Staples Singers, Andrae Crouch—these people are legendary in the world of Gospel, but if you're not in that world, you don't know that," Lauro explains, speaking from his Sag Harbor home. In reference to the failure to pay attention to Gospel, he says, "It's as if, 40 years later, nobody had made a documentary about the Beatles."
"But when we would pitch the idea of doing a Gospel film, people looked at us like we had two heads," says Lauro. Lauro has produced many films through his Greenport-based company Historic Films. "I had been acquiring and restoring performance footage for years, with the idea of assembling the first documentary about Gospel, but people weren't interested."
As Rejoice and Shout demonstrates, Lauro's footage included some breathtaking material spanning the filmed history of Gospel: Mahalia Jackson performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the early 1950s, The Dixie Hummingbirds performing at the Newport Folk Festival in the early 1960s, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the Staples Singers on the syndicated "TV Gospel Time" from the mid-'60s, Andrae Crouch from the mid-'70s, as well as a stunning sound film from the early '20s featuring The Utica Quartet.
Lauro had all but given up finding financing for the project when Eamonn Bowles at Magnolia Pictures, without prompting, actually proposed a Gospel documentary.
"Our jaws dropped," says Lauro, referring to himself and his production partner Don McGlynn. "Then we were like 'Here's the script'!"
The new financing allowed them to shoot interviews, including with Mavis Staples, the Reverend Andrae Crouch and the Selvy family. This process lead to Lauro and his team capturing the performance of "Amazing Grace" that opens the film.
"It was just good luck. She happened to be there, and when I asked if anyone knew any old, traditional Gospel, she just started singing."
It is a great moment in a film that is full of many great moments. Those of us who think we know a little about Gospel from listening to Aretha Franklin or Ray Charles will learn a lot from watching Rejoice and Shout, and even those steeped in the Black Gospel tradition will discover something they might have missed. Most important, Rejoice and Shout provides the first definitive account and appreciation of a living, vibrant musical world.
Rejoice and Shout is currently playing in selected cities, and will play in Huntington and Greenport in August. [/expand]

Yesterday, US Airways tweeted out a photo that none of us ever really expected to see outside of the seedier corners of the Internet. It was a social media fail that will live in infamy. I have taken to calling it "Vaginaplanegate."
Social media accounts are run by human beings (sometimes, anyway) and human beings make mistakes. And when these mistakes happen, they come with a lot of tweet deleting, apologizing, "internal investigations," and some intern getting shitcanned.
That's our question of the day: What's the worst transportation-related social media fail?
This can include airlines, train companies, cities, and obviously car companies, too. Remember that time Dodge thought an E46 M3 was a Challenger police car? Classic. At least they didn't tweet out the vaginaplane picture instead. That would have been HILARIOUS.
Your turn. Bring us the worst transportation social media fail!

Get the cake jokes out of the way now.
The oft-criticized former cast member of "The Ultimate Fighter 5" Gabe Ruediger (17-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is making his return to the UFC.
Ruediger announced on his Twitter account Thursday evening that he will replace British lightweight Terry Etim and face Joe Lauzon (18-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC 118.
The UFC has yet to officially announce the switch, but MMAFighting.com first reported the switch was necessary after Etim suffered a broken rib.
The much-maligned Ruediger appeared once in the octagon and was stopped by a devastating Melvin Guillard punch to the body. Ruediger then went just 1-2 on the regional circuit before a recent career resurgence.
"Godzilla" is currently riding a six-fight win streak that includes a pair of 2010 stoppage wins under the Tachi Palace Fights banner. The most recent, a first-round TKO of the previously undefeated Lenny Lovato, landed Ruediger the Tachi Palace Fights lightweight belt.
Meanwhile, Lauzon, a fellow veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 5," looks to bounce back from a Janaury loss to Sam Stout at UFC 108. Lauzon was returning to the cage after a severe knee injury kept him sidelined for nearly one year. "J-Lau" fought admirably in January, but Stout controlled the action throughout.
Lauzon is just 2-2 in his past four fights, though he's 8-2 in his previous 10 outings.

But don't hold your breath for a result. This is going to be a long-drawn-out contest, meticulously refereed at every stage by agency intermediary Oystercatchers. Not a cosy inside job, pushed through on a nod and a wink from Tesco's C Suite, as has tended to be the case in the past.
The first stage, happening quite soon, will be the selection of 13 agencies for a credentials presentation. From these, six will be invited to pitch, three will be eliminated and the winner will emerge in, oh, July some time. If all goes according to plan. So, expect the air to be thick with speculation over the next four months.
Let's be clear before going any further. What's particularly interesting about this pitch is not the fact that it is taking place now. Few readers will have failed to notice a changing of the guard at Britain's top retailer, starting with the departure of group chief executive Sir Terry Leahy about a year ago and his replacement by Phil Clarke.
Clarke is clearly a man who knows what he wants, and has wasted little time letting his senior colleagues know it too. Out went one-time rival for the top job Richard Brasher, until very recently UK CEO, after some lacklustre performance in the core operation and in came (a little earlier, as it happened) David Wood, late of Tesco Hungary, as head of UK marketing to replace Carolyn Bradley; meantime micro-managing Clarke has seized the UK helm himself.
Equally evidently, Clarke has been under heavy pressure from shareholders to shake things up, pronto. Tesco is still the UK's biggest grocer by a wide margin, but it is a declining one. Others – practically all its leading rivals in fact – are bettering it in today's tough market. Earlier this year, Tesco had to do the unthinkable: issue its first profit warning in 20 years, which knocked about £4.5bn off its stock market valuation in one day.
Personal animosity certainly came into Brasher's dismissal, but there is little doubt that he was a convenient scapegoat too. And maybe with good reason. Brasher's Big Price Drop campaign was a prelude to a disastrous Tesco Christmas. He also held some rather fixed views on investing for the future. Whereas, what shareholders actually want is profits now, not in some misty future. Clarke knows that a second profit warning will effectively be his corporate suicide note.
So, no pressure Phil, to review your strategy. Ordinarily, UK advertising might seem to bat fairly low in a retail group CEO's priorities – way below, for example, such operational issues as how many and what sort of new stores to open. Not so here, however. In giving Brasher the heave-ho and replacing the muddled duarchy at the top of UK management with a more focused leadership – himself – Clarke is also implicitly challenging Tesco's long-established marketing tradition. Note that Brasher – like Leahy – came up the marketing route; before being promoted to UK CEO in March 2011, he had been UK marketing supremo since 2006. Clarke, on the other hand, is grounded in operations and IT, not marketing.
That's why the key word associated with this advertising review is 'clarity.' Having brought more focus to UK leadership, Clarke also intends to bring more focus to Tesco's UK marketing effort. And he's going to do it by asking some fundamental questions about Tesco's current positioning. Are the assumptions underlying 'Every Little Helps' still relevant in today's market? How does Tesco's current marketing strategy benchmark against that of its apparently more successful UK rivals? Clarke wants ideas from his agency pitch list, not just a new colour chart.
Superficially, this looks like bad news for the incumbent agency of six years, The Red Brick Road (or Ruby, or whatever the new digitally-enhanced business is going to be called). Although asked to repitch, it is indissolubly linked to the very marketing tradition that Clarke seems hell-bent on changing. Lineally, TRBR is descended from Lowe Howard-Spink and the strong historic relationship between Lowe founder Sir Frank Lowe and Tesco top brass Leahy and global chief marketing officer Tim Mason. When Sir Frank split from Lowe & Partners (as it was by then called), Tesco backed his breakaway TRBR, but only on condition that Lowe creative chief Paul Weinberger was an integral part of the deal. To this day Weinberger, now chairman of TRBR, is the key mediating figure on the Tesco account (Lowe himself having retired).
On closer reflection, however, there are plenty of good reasons for retaining TRBR's services.
First, alone among competing agencies, TRBR will be the one tailored specifically to Tesco's requirements. (Indeed, many would say this is its primary problem as a diversified advertising agency: despite doing good work for the likes of Magners cider and Thinkbox, it has failed to shake off the image of being Tesco's house agency).
Second, Tesco has been careful not to pull the rug entirely from under TRBR. Up for grabs is all the consumer-facing digital and traditional (ie television, press, radio and outdoor) advertising. But not, you'll note, trade advertising, which is a substantial part of the overall TRBR fee package. One reason for this, no doubt, is the sheer complexity of trade marketing; but Tesco also seems to be sending a positive signal to its longstanding agency.
Third, since this review is really about positioning rather than a creative makeover or a new catchline, don't underestimate the skills of David Hackworthy and his TRBR planning department.
Fourth, don't forget that Tim Mason is part of the review team. It's surely only a matter of time before shareholders get their way and have Clarke cauterise the eye-watering losses at US venture Fresh & Easy, on which Mason currently spends two-thirds of his executive time. That will free more time for Mason's other two roles as group deputy chief executive and, more pertinently here, group CMO. It's possible that he may at that point leave; but no one should bank on it.
Who else will compete for the account? Many prime candidates with suitable retail experience – BBH, DLKW/Lowe, Fallon, AMV BBDO, Rainey Kelly Campbell Rolfe/Y&R – are excluded precisely because they have conflicting supermarket accounts. However, Tesco has made it clear it will look tolerantly upon other kinds of agency conflict: for instance, a clash in financial services or telecoms.
That leaves plenty of possible contenders. As my colleague Stephen Foster has pointed out here, Publicis London is surely one of them. Historically, it was keeper of the Asda account and is now captained by former TRBR managing director and Tesco account director Karen Buchanan.
But the hot money will be on WPP. There's some unsettled business here. Those with keen memories for this sort of thing will recall that, seven years ago, WPP agency JWT came close to winning a big supermarket account after hiring two key Tesco agency players, Mark Cadman and Russell Lidstone, from a clearly flagging Lowe.
From what I hear, WPP is putting every resource possible behind winning the Tesco trophy. Not only is JWT throwing its hat into the ring; so are Grey, Ogilvy, 24/7 Media and CHI as well. Though whether individually or as part of a WPP 'Team' effort I don't yet know.
Tesco will surely be aware, or have been made aware, that there is a certain amount of bad blood between Britain's best-known agency intermediary Oystercatchers (founded by Suki Thompson and ex-JWT new biz director Peter Cowie) and Britain's best-known and biggest marketing services company, WPP. Namely, the Everystone breakaway story and its litigious sequel, which came to an unhappy conclusion about a year ago.
The formality of Tesco's pitch procedure and the nature of its choice of intermediary suggests that there is no easy inside track here for WPP chief Sir Martin Sorrell. I suspect his best course would be to keep an uncharacteristically low profile for the duration of the pitch.

For definitions of graph minors and topological minors, see wikipedia's article on graph minors.
Theorem: For every graph H, there is a finite set of graphs, say S(H), such that G contains H as a minor if and only if G contains some graph from S(H) as a topological minor.
Can anyone point me to a paper/book where this is proved? (I know how to prove it, I just want a reference to cite.)

The hypocrisy of gun-grabbers knows no bounds
Paul Joseph Watson
December 31, 2012
Despite calling in the same year for an outright ban on all firearms, Senator Dianne Feinstein, who is set to introduce legislation that would gut the second amendment, said in 1995 that she carried a concealed gun in order to protect herself against terrorists.
Speaking at a US Senate hearing on terrorism one week after the Oklahoma City Bombing, Feinstein spoke about how she responded to an attempt by terrorists from the New World Liberation Army to bomb her home.
"I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me," said Feinstein.
The hypocrisy of Feinstein choosing to arm herself in self-defense while in the very same year calling for an "outright ban" on all guns is another reminder of rampant hypocrisy on behalf of would-be gun grabbers that has prevailed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
Feinstein is behind a bill set to be introduced shortly that will outlaw guns with magazines over 10 rounds, require a national fingerprint database of all gun owners and ban nearly all handguns.
Michael Moore immediately went public to exploit the Newtown shooting in calling for draconian gun control legislation, yet his own bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon at in New York's JFK airport back in 2005.
President Obama also seized upon the tragedy to push his agenda to disarm Americans, conveniently leaving out the fact that the school which his daughters attend in Washington D.C. has no less than 11 armed security guards on duty at all times.
During an ABC Nightline interview which was broadcast on December 26 yet was recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability "to have men with guns around at all times," in order to protect his daughters.
Other prominent gun control advocates such as Mayor Michael Bloomberg have also aggressively pushed to disarm Americans while themselves employing armed bodyguards at all times.
In addition, an emotionally manipulative video in which a plethora of celebrities demanded the American people get behind gun control was filmed and released just days after the massacre. However, as this shrewd rebuttal highlights, most of the actors featured in the campaign have themselves used guns in their movie roles on numerous occasions.
The media has also been complicit in completely ignoring recent shootings which were brought to an end solely due to law-abiding citizens exercising their second amendment rights, including an incident just two days after the Connecticut massacre during which a gunman entered a theater in San Antonio after killing his ex-girlfriend but was shot dead by an off duty policewoman.
In addition, this month's mall shooting in Oregon was brought to an end when 22-year-old Nick Meli, who has a concealed carry permit, pulled a gun on the killer, prompting masked shooter Jacob Tyler Roberts to use his final bullet on himself.
In both cases, the media virtually ignored the fact that potential massacres were stopped by responsible Americans using firearms.
The National Safety Council notes that guns are used some 2.5 million times a year in self defense against criminals, meaning that firearms are utilized to protect innocent lives in 80 times more cases than they are used to end lives.

That's no Instagram filter lending a nostalgic sepia tint to the image above.
The reddish haze pervading the photo of NASA's Curiosity rover comes from a protective dust cover shielding the lens of the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), which took the picture September 7.
So named because it is meant to fill the role of the handheld magnifying glass for a human geologist, MAHLI is equipped with two light sources—one producing white light and the other radiating ultraviolet light—for illuminating geologic specimens. The imager is mounted on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm, which allowed it to turn and snap a portrait-style shot of the cameras and other instruments mounted in the "head" at the top of the rover's more than two-meter-high vertical mast.
At the same time, the cameras atop the mast were inspecting MAHLI, its dust cover and other instruments on the 2.1-meter-long robotic arm. Having received a clean bill of health, MAHLI opened its cover the following day and began imaging the rover's environs with newfound clarity.

18 Lion – Dangerous Attraction (Release Year – 1987)
Lion's Dangerous Attraction has been a compact disc that was my achilles' heel, so to speak. I have been trying to track down a copy of this CD for close to a year now, and finally snagged a copy of eBay. Why should I (or anyone else) care about the band Lion? This is the some of the earliest recorded work by current Whitesnake guitarist, Doug Aldrich. If you own the new Whitesnake CD, Good To Be Bad, you are well aware of the kind of awesome axeman Doug Aldrich is.
Aside from Aldrich, the rest of Lion is pretty impressive. This band also features Kal Swan from the band Tytan, and drummer Mark Edwards from Steeler. Dangerous Attraction is considered by many as Lion's best work, and I would not disagree. The music on Dangerous Attraction is fairly typical 80's hair metal, but it is really good stuff. I would describe Lion's sound as a cross between RATT and Whitesnake.
Swan's voice is fairly unique. His English accent propelled by his deep throaty screams and melodic tones makes this music stand out. Aldrich's guitar work on Dangerous Attraction is superb. This guy was shredding like no tomorrow 21 years ago, and is still getting it done today. His talent shines on this album, and as a result there isn't a band song on Dangerous Attraction.
Lion is one of the lesser know acts of the 80's and this CD, has been out of print for a long time. Copies of the CD turn up on eBay from time to time, but they usually sell for crazy amounts. If you are fan of Swan or Aldrich, this disc is worth seeking out. 80's hair metal fans will like this too.
You can listen to a couple of the songs off of this album below.

Present: me, Martin, Martin, James, Swithun, Pomme, Paul, Isla.
Acrylic sticker/lettering on window
everyone agrees that the idea is good as long as mutual interference is minimised.
a foldaway system is best since the quality of the projection will be impaired if it is mounted on the high ledge
best idea to make a system that would allow either slide or digital projector to be mounted.
after discussion of different ideas, pulleys etc., it is reckoned that the best idea is to mount a hinged piece of board to the ceiling which would be tied off in the volunteer cupboard. all that remains is the engineering which will be thoroughly undertaken to ensure safety.
the projector will project onto 3 pane sized lengths of screen which will be rolled up to the top of each individual window pane.
Starting to begin to think about it...
get in touch with EAF about deadline for literature...
get in touch with annualle folk (embassy?)...
agree to meet in person sometime soon to get some ideas going?
Sticker + Lettering
£46 + installation
should be the TK logo and "the forest" should this be "@ the forest", or some other proposition-
we don't really like that- would rather keep it down to logo and " the forest" Martinm to continue developing and show the group again...
lettering the wall again will cost £60 which is silly. we just print out a A0 for £2.30 instead.
I'm to contact Iona Sangster
James to contact G8 photographer and Palestine book folk
martinm to contact Joyce Gunn Cairns
Isla to contact the walking art project
Other Business
look into online calander- james on it
rehashing submissions on the website, make more specific.
The book- to meet soon to see a short presentation by aaron soon.

As such, the two men have become hated, but it is clear that so far, more voters like them than dislike them. Those who consider themselves union members first, dislike Christie and Walker.But those who consider themselves taxpayers first, like them. With the tax system we currently have in America, it is sometimes hard to say whether there are more taxpayers than union members or vise versa. But at the moment there are some union members who realize that they are both members of a union and taxpayers. These people understand that you can not keep robbing from Peter to give to Paul.
These people understand that while their union brothers and sisters are red with anger, their states are drowning in red ink. And it is these same people who understand that Scott Walker and Chris Christie are doing what they were elected to do. Indeed a few thousand Republicans all across America in local, county state and federa offices were recently elected with a similar mandate behind them in 2010. In 2006 and 2008 many Republicans were booted out of officebecause they had previously forgotten that message. But now here we are with two men who are leading the way in doing something that should have been done long ago .. Saying no to big unions and special interests.
Doing this doesnt really make Walker or Christie special. It doesnt make them those once in a generation leaders that we always look for. It just makes them commonsense leaders. And that is really quite sad. It is sad that we have come to a point in time when common sense in our leaders is so rare that we are ready to quickly throw their names about for offices as revered as President of the United States. Yet some recent polls have had Republicans claiming that Chris Christie was their first choice for the Republican presidential nomination. Now I am not saying that Christie or Walker are not capable, but they are not yet proven. The last time we selected an unproven leader, we got freshman Senator Barack Obama for President.And Walker and Christie are also not alone in this newfound commonsense leadership. Rick Scott of Florida shares in it. Bob McMillan of Virginia shares it. Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Eric Cantor of Virginia as well as Justin Amash of Michigan, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Marco Rubio, Scott Garrett and a whole host of congressmen and senators and state legislators share this same respect for basic math and commonsense.
So let us not rush to coronate any one person King or Queen of the G.O.P. Let the Chrsities and Walkers and Scotts of our Party lead. Let them prove that commonsense has a place in government and let us allow the Republican presidential nomination process to be a real contest. Let it be a real proving ground where we can kick the tires, test drive our leaders and make them earn our trust, our support, our votes. Let them prove themselves before we jump on any of their bandwagons.
In the meantime. Heres to Chris Christie and Scott Walker! Keep up the good work and remember, as demonstrated in the picture below of teachers protestingin NewJerseynot long ago, those trying to shout you down, are not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. And another thing, the people of yesterday that Richard Nixon once called the Silent Majority are today called the TEA Party, and weve got your back.
