Behind Closed Doors
Producer-singer-songwriter-DJ-everything else rhêtorík bares his soul on 'Behind Closed Doors.' The EP is a sum of his whimsy and his triumphs, a showcase of his insecurities, but also a promise to himself and to his fans that there will be light in their lives. Across five songs and in 20 minutes, rhêtorík makes quick work of what hurts him and how he's learned to heal himself. "I took a year from 24 to 25, where I went completely stone-cold sober, really got into the vlogging, and just took a year of internal reflection," he told DJBooth. His reflections led him to question himself and his motives, and 'Behind Closed Doors' is the immediate product of his weighty introspection. The indie-meets-EDM influences on the project undoubtedly move music forward, but it's rhêtorík's hopeful message that makes him a truly enduring artist.

After MGK sent shots Eminem's way with "Rap Devil," Em is ready to fire back with an eviscerating cut. "KILLSHOT" is exactly that, a diss track featuring Eminem tapping into his signature anger and going for MGK's throat by way of advanced wordplay. While the game is constantly changing, even in the forum of a diss track, Eminem keeps finding new ways of moving music forward. Em hits Kells where it hurts, clowning everything from his career to his fashion sense, to his attempts at starting beef with Bay Area rapper G-Eazy. Did Eminem take out MGK with this one? Press play and find out which artist is walking away from this beef as the victor.

009: Is Kanye West a troll?
Kanye West's image and reputation has long outgrown the music and fashion industries he is known for, and into a sociopolitical world that influences Black people in the U.S. and abroad. Now, as he strengthens his connection to President Donald Trump, Kanye may have a tangible impact on the Black community. Are these the machinations of a political or corporate strategist? Or is Kanye West simply trolling us all?

Sheck Wes
Young Sheck Wes took over hip-hop with his now-massive single, "Mo Bamba." The rising Harlem rapper went on to deliver a series of brick singles, sign with Kanye West and Travis Scott, and summon an immense amount of hype for his debut album 'MUDBOY.' With virality in his corner, Wes faced the daunting task of proving he is not a one-hit-wonder. Enter: 'MUDBOY,' a debut album that supplants Sheck Wes' viral success without painting in uninspired strokes. 'MUDBOY' is, thankfully, not an album filled with "Mo Bamba" type tracks, nor is it a series of sloppy pivots in search of another smash hit. The album is a coming-of-age story told over hot and harrowing trap production, with Wes employing a breadth of deliveries, demanding we notice and respect his range. Wes gives us stories of his childhood and Senegalese culture on "Never Lost," and still worms in a riotous anthem with "Gmail." With 'MUDBOY,' Sheck Wes proves that he is no one-hit-wonder; he's getting really rich, though.

Weak leasing activity failed to offset large blocks of space that hit New Jersey's office market in the third quarter, wiping out the modest gains made in the first half of the year, according to a new market report by Jones Lang LaSalle.
The firm recorded a drop of nearly 1 million square feet in the total amount of occupied space in the state's northern and central regions, where some large companies are preparing to leave their spaces for new buildings. That means year-to-date totals are now about 213,000 square feet below 2011, as high unemployment persists and other firms remain reluctant to expand.
"It wouldn't have been a negative-territory scenario if we would have maintained some absorption, in terms of positive demand, to counter the blocks of space that came onto the market," said Stephen Jenco, JLL's director of suburban tristate research. "But unfortunately, supply won out over demand during the third quarter."
The last three months saw SHI International Corp., an IT solutions firm, place 180,000 square feet of vacant space on the market in Franklin's Somerset section, the report said. Meantime, pharmaceutical firm Novartis and manufacturer Church & Dwight are preparing to vacate a combined 260,000 square feet of space in Florham Park and Princeton, respectively, as they prepare to move into new facilities.
The three firms accounted for 45 percent of the total space that hit the market in the third quarter, JLL found. That helped drive a 0.6 percent increase in the region's vacancy rate, to 25.6 percent, marking the sharpest quarter-over-quarter jump since 2009.
Through the first half of the year, the market had recorded about 779,000 square feet of positive absorption, Jenco said. But that was erased over the past three months, thanks in part to issues like tepid job growth, uncertainty over the national elections and concerns about global markets.
"We have factors that that our beyond our control," he said. "Obviously the economy is high up on the list, but it's almost like you can pick what type of factor or what type of event has really got us stuck in neutral."
One of the few bright spots in the third quarter was leasing at Metrotop Plaza II, a new building in the Metropark section of Woodbridge. The 10-story tower, which opened late last year, reached full capacity in the quarter through deals with Eisner Amper and Hatch Mott MacDonald. The firms leased 87,000 and 81,000 square feet, respectively, according to JLL's report.

Page One Editorial: Vindictive Obama piles on shutdown painBY JOSEPH W. McQUAID
October 08. 2013 10:23PM
Think what you might about the reasons for the very partial shutdown of the federal government, make no mistake that President Obama is making it as unpleasant as possible for Americans.
Be sure to read Pat Buchanan's column on our editorial page today about Obama's vindictiveness and his shameful treatment of World War II veterans wanting what is most likely their only chance to visit the Washington memorial built in honor of their sacrifice. Some veterans just removed the "closed" signs and marched right in.
But Obama is doing the same thing at our Normandy memorials and, as of yesterday, was denying paid transportation to a U.S. air base for mourning families of servicemen just killed in Afghanistan. Yet the Air Force golf course where Obama plays remains open, and the National Mall, while "closed," was used Tuesday for a rally for liberalized immigration.
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte rightly called out the Forest Service for a further stupid and vindictive order to close 22 privately owned campgrounds in New Hampshire's White Mountains just before the Columbus Day weekend.
Obama yesterday said we cannot afford "these manufactured crises." By singling out World War II veterans and families trying to get a view of Mount Rushmore or welcome home their fallen soldiers, it is Obama who is manufacturing a crisis that is harming Americans.

and when your sister is around...wear two pairs or three pairs.
lovely post, DIANE
Haha! I'm totally with Diane here. Gorgeous pics - sometimes life is just a scoop of ice cream too :))ReplyDelete
Sounds like my sister - could it be she misses you? She needs an invitation and a hug. :)ReplyDelete
Your bowl of cherries is SUPERB..ReplyDelete
You're so good..try as I might..my peony trial ..was dismal.
Love the kidlets too..and le pont!
Not to mention le carousel~
In the past I have been told to never take off my rose colored glasses..
So do keep yours on forever.
Because sometimes..someone .. removes them..and then you go searching for them..and sometimes it can take time to locate them again.
Yet the fit will still be perfect..once you put them on again:)
Je veux que tu gardes tes lunettes teintées de rose!
Beautiful park, lovely pictures, great ice cream and cherries, too! Who needs rose colored glasses?ReplyDelete
I agree with everyone else--never take off those glasses! Loved this post of this beautiful parc. I'm sure it was even more lovely in person.ReplyDelete
I'm floored that you'd missed Parc Monceau before this. A lovely place all seasons of the year. I like your cherries, too, cherie!ReplyDelete
Parc Monceau is a delight at any time of the year. The glasses need never come off because Paris offers a new experience and new colours every day.ReplyDelete
Life is ALWAYS a bowl of cherries in Paris!ReplyDelete

Never take them off. Why would you? Your world and your perception of it is exactly why we read and devour your blog every day. It is the first thing I do in the morning before work. I make my coffee and a slice of toast, jump back under the covers with my 2 adorable kitties and read PARIS BREAKFASTSReplyDelete
Love Parc Monceau and so glad you popped off the bus/Metro to make a new discovery. Not to blur the rose tint in your specs but Aimée does find a body in that elegant pillar'd former toll booth, now a WC. Have you been to the street market on rue de Levi's?ReplyDelete

The last time we went to Paris, we arrived from Amsterdam at Gare du Nord at rush hour. The sunlight made the buildings glow a warm gold. The sky was an intense blue, traffic was moving slowly, girls on Vespas, skirts aswirl as they wove blissfully among the cars, the trees heavy with the green of summer. Paris is magical, rose colored glasses or not. You transport me there every day.ReplyDelete

Your pictures are so beautiful anywhere you happen to be, your artist's eye is truly a gift. :) I have been told that I view France through rose colored glasses as well. I can't help my intense love for the country, I love America too but there is something about France that pulls at my heartstrings and my soul. I hope that your experience of living in France will always nourish your artistic side and make you happy.ReplyDelete
Happy painting :D

I just wanted to thank you for your blog. Every morning, it is the first thing I look at, to start my day happy! I am so glad your "rose-colored" glasses are still on. But really, they could be any color, as nothing can't taint Paris's beauty (or most any of France's).ReplyDelete
:-) Karyn
Fab painting! Hang on to those glasses!ReplyDelete

I am actually sitting at my desk eating cherries and I have to say that your painting more than does them justice - luscious! I love receiving your blog every day, always something beautiful to look at or a quirky observation and always, always an irrepressible joie do vivre!ReplyDelete

Mike Cote's Business Editor's Notebook: CEO says sugar kills, and he's working on a solutionMIKE COTE
March 30. 2013 4:03AM
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's attempt to limit the size of soft drinks to 16 ounces at New York restaurants, theaters and street carts might have seemed like another overreach from a zealot. If a New Yorker wants to slurp a 32-ounce vat of Mountain Dew, who is Bloomberg to get in his way?
While a court decision to strike down the law may have been applauded in many quarters, David Platt saw it as an early episode in a battle against obesity, one he compares to the decades-long campaign to fight the effects of cigarette smoke.
"It's very simple. Sugar kills. End of story," says Platt, the CEO of Boston Therapeutics. He expects the connection between sugar, obesity and diabetes will ultimately lead to a ban on those Big Gulps.
The early-stage pharmaceutical company is focused on developing and commercializing complex carbohydrate-based drugs to treat diabetes and inflammatory diseases. And the need for the drugs the company is creating has been driven largely by the rise of the food industry and the sugar-laden products it manufactures.
"The industry is based on sugar for consumption. Any food that adds sugar to make it tastier, the beverage companies putting in fructose - it's absolute poison," Platt says. "Fructose is worse than sucrose. It's addictive, the same as nicotine."
A press release about Boston Therapeutics rode the coattails of the New York Supreme Court decision striking down Bloomberg's edict and was widely posted on news sites. But Platt, a quietly intense speaker with a dry sense of humor, is deadly serious about the subject.
"By definition, McDonald's and all those companies that are selling sugary drinks are committing a crime, by my standard," says Platt, a 59-year-old Israeli immigrant who founded two other pharmaceutical companies. "They're poisoning people. They don't know that - because the link between sugar and heart disease is clear in the research - but it's not in the law."
On Wednesday, Boston Therapeutics, which employs five people at its 1750 Elm St. headquarters, announced it will focus its pipeline on commercializing two drugs, PAZ320 and IPOXYN.
PAZ320 is a chewable complex carbohydrate-based compound designed to mimic insulin and reduce the elevation of post-meal blood sugar. The proprietary polysaccharide is designed to be taken before meals and works in the gastrointestinal tract to block the action of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose and release it into the bloodstream.
PAZ320 will soon be tested in a Phase III clinical trial with about 300 patients after postive results last year in a Phase II study that tested the safety and efficacy of the drug of patients with type 2 diabetes at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. Patients with type 2 diabetes responded with a 40 percent reduction of post-prandial glucose, or post-meal blood sugar, in their blood compared to a baseline measure. The results are scheduled to be published in the July/August issue of Endocrine Practice, a peer-reviewed medical journal.
"The product is fully developed," says Ken Tassey, the company's president. "There is no more lab work that needs to be done for development of PAZ320."
Boston Therapeutics previously developed a nonpharmaceutical grade supplement marketed as Sugar Down, a chewable tablet that also was designed to moderate blood glucose levels after carbohydrate-rich meals. But the company's success in developing PAZ320 makes Sugar Down "almost irrelevant" to the company's future, Platt says.
"We can make one molecule that blocks all of the enyzmes that participate in the digestion of sugar in the intestine, and that's the molecule that we gave the code name PAZ320," Platt says, who is confident of the drug's eventual success.
"We believe that what we have in our hands is an absolute blockbuster," Platt says. "It could take time for people to understand the magnitude of the data that we have ... . Medicine is very conservative, and the clinical data will talk for themselves."
IPOXYN, the company's other focus, is a glycoprotein anti-necrosis drug developed to help improve blood flow to lower limbs. Lower limb ischemia, associated with diabetes, often leads to amputations. It occurs when arteries cannot carry enough oxygen.
Molecules of IPOXYN, which Plant says is the only anti-necrosis drug currently under development, are 5,000 times smaller than red blood cells and can penetrate cells that otherwise would not be able to receive oxgen, says Platt, who has spent his career studying carbohydrate chemistry.
With two drugs in the pipeline, the company's biggest challenge is to continue to attract funding to pay for clinical trials, which can cost millions. (The public company trades over the counter as BTHE.)
"In medicine, it's all about credibility, raising money, increasing funding, getting more people to work for the company," Platt says.
"The right people," Tassey adds.
Note to applicants: You probably want to leave that Big Gulp in your car before heading in for the interview.

AT&T will cut 188 jobs in Springfield by closing the company call center and moving the work to other Illinois facilities.
A company representative said Tuesday that 36 local workers have opted to transfer to an AT&T call center in Rantoul, about 90 miles east of Springfield, and another dozen have found jobs at other AT&T facilities.
Specifics of the layoffs first announced last month were included in a notice required by the state when layoffs total 50 or more workers. The first layoffs begin Aug. 3, according to the notice filed with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
The local call center opened in 2001 at 5020 Ash Grove Road, on Wabash Avenue just east of Interstate 72.
AT&T representatives said last month the Springfield work would be consolidated at other facilities in Illinois, including Rantoul, and would not affect overall employment in the state. Springfield employees were given until Aug. 2 to accept a transfer or to find other jobs with AT&T. Severance packages were to be paid to employees unable to move or find another AT&T job.
DCEO spokesman Dave Roeder said the agency is providing assistance to laid-off workers, including information on state services and job-training programs.
The 100,000-square-foot building is on the market for $7.45 million, according to LoopNet, a national commercial real-estate listing service.
Springfield listing broker Bill Marriott of The Real Estate Group said there have been inquiries, but no sale has been finalized. The property is in a city enterprise zone.

Retired business executive Bill Elwell has won the 2012-2013 Patrick J. Scullion Excellence in Adjunct Teaching Award in LTU's College of Management.
Elwell began teaching on a part-time basis at LTU in the fall of 2008, the year before he took an early retirement as director of advertising and strategic communications at Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Care Network of Michigan.
He has taught the introductory business course in the College of Management and classes on business principles, supervision, marketing and business law to high school seniors who come to LTU to earn college credits, under the dual enrollment program conducted by the provost's office.
"A number of my students in the high school classes have come to LTU," Elwell said.
An LTU student nominated Elwell for the teaching award for helping him decide what direction to take in his business career. The student started the semester with the vague ambition to start his own business, but he didn't know what to do or how to do it.
"The knowledge that I have acquired from him through his preparation and personal experience has helped me immensely in what is now the creation of my own personal business plan, and in defining my path for the future," the student wrote. "After all, is that not the whole purpose of college in the long run?"
Elwell said he enjoys the challenge of teaching students how business theories apply in the real world. "Here's the theory, and here's the practicality of putting it in place," Elwell said. "I've worked for fairly large companies and that's been helpful in teaching."
Elwell also has more than 20 years of experience as a marketing executive in the banking industry. For six years he was first vice president and manager for brand and corporate marketing communications for Comerica before leaving that position to join Blue Cross in 2000.
He earned a degree in economics with a minor in education while an undergraduate at Eastern Michigan University, and went back to EMU for a master's degree in economics and marketing. During his banking career, he taught several classes on finance, marketing and accounting to people who were new to the industry.
He is grateful for the opportunity to pursue his interest in teaching at LTU. "I didn't want to stop doing things when I retired," he said.

Turtles don't lie about the weather.
In the Northern Hemisphere (America is located there), land surface temperature for June 2012 was the all-time warmest June on record, at 1.30°C (2.34°F) above average. (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2012/6/)
There are five "State of the Climate" global data markers used by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration) to figure statistical averages, using sea and land temperatures. They do indeed tell us it has been the hottest year on record. Ocean surface temperatures alone were the 10th warmest in recorded history.
The letter-writer's statement, though, begs the question: If 2012 was the tenth hottest year in recorded history (since 1880), that would make it a really weird year nonetheless, don'tcha think?
Don't sweat it.

Segway sold to Tenn.-based SummitBy BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
March 01. 2013 9:33PM
BEDFORD - Segway Inc. has been sold to Summit Strategic Investments, which says it plans on expanding and teased the release of new products.
Summit, based in Tennessee, bought the company for an undisclosed amount and said it does not plan any job cuts to the company's corporate headquarters.
Mary Savage, chief operating office of Segway, said she is happy with the vision for the company's future relayed to her by the new owners.
"Segway is proud to be a New Hampshire company that manufactures its product in the USA," Savage said. "We are also proud of the fact that the company has sustained itself for well over 10 years, largely because we have remained focused on moving forward, being innovative, expanding our target markets and earning a global presence. We are excited about our new ownership and we're poised for expansion."
Roger Brown, newly appointed president and chief executive officer, said Segway is an ideal fit for Summit's strategic vision.
"My goal over the next few years is to refocus the company on its strengths and leverage growth opportunities," he said. "In addition, we expect to announce the development of new products in the very near future."
When new ownership comes in, companies often terminate many of the current employees, but that will not be the case for the Bedford-based company, said Suzanne Dumaresq, public relations and marketing specialist. "We do not expect any jobs to be lost; we have plans to grow," she said.
Previously owned by JWH Holdings, Segway was designed in the Granite State and has been based in-state since its creation. Original owner Dean Kamen, who was traveling and unavailable for comment, founded the company.
"Summit has a 15-year record of investing in solid companies with strong brands that offer the market true value," Brown said.
JWH Holdings was headed by British magnate James "Jimi" William Heselden, who died in a freak accident while riding his Segway in 2010.
Dumaresq said the sale of Segway was not in any way a result of the death of Heselden.
"We are the world's leading provider of personal transportation, and going forward we'll prove why by successfully addressing customer needs, introducing new products and growing market share," Savage said.

In a prior article, I discussed the future of the Republican Party and the daunting demographic challenges it will face in the decades ahead. I pointed to exit polls that indicated that a key to President Obama's re-election victory was winning overwhelming margins of the African-American, Hispanic and Asian vote.
Romney garnered 59% of the white vote: A greater percentage than the 56% that Ronald Reagan received in 1980 and the same as George H.W Bush did in 1988 (59%). Romney's margin among white voters almost tied the record 60% that Dwight Eisenhower received in 1952. And still it was not enough.
My thesis in my previous article was that a 60% margin among white voters, without significant inroads with African-American, Hispanic and Asian voters may never be enough for national Republican candidates to succeed. This is so because of a seismic demographic shift that is transforming the US.
The 2010 Census estimated that 50.5 million Hispanics live in the United States. Hispanics account for 16.3% of the total U.S. population. This population, which numbered 35.3 million in 2000, grew by 43% over the decade. The U.S. population as a whole grew by only 9.7% in that period of time consequently, the Hispanic population growth accounted for most of the nation's overall growth (56% of the growth) from 2000 to 2010. Hispanics constituted 10 percent of the voters who went to the polls in 2012.
Between the 2000 Census and 2010 Census, the number of people identifying as Asian or Asian plus another race rose 45.6%: A total of 17.3 million people or 5.6% of the US population. Asians accounted for 3% of the 2012 electorate – up from 2% in 2008
The Democratic Party hold on the African-American vote has been strong and seemingly unshakeable. But I believe that with a vision that addresses the aspirations of African-Americans, the GOP can expand its support among a constituency that at one time enjoyed strong bonds with the party.
And the Republican Party has demonstrated an ability to compete for the Hispanic vote: In 2000 President George W. Bush received 35% of the Hispanic vote and then in 2004 increased his margin to 44%. In contrast, Mitt Romney received a smaller margin of Hispanic votes than any presidential candidate in the past 16 years.
I believe that this is so because the Republican Party has allowed itself to be unduly influenced by a neo-Nativist element that has gained traction in the past two decades. Nativism is a form of national, ethnic, racial and/or religious intolerance of people or ideas that are perceived as "foreign" and therefore corrosive of the "national" culture. It expresses itself as a reservation about the desirability or suitability for citizenship of those suspected of being unable or unwilling to function as productive, loyal and patriotic citizens.
In the United States, the term Nativism was first used in connection with political and social movements that proliferated between 1830 and 1925. It expressed hostility against newly arrived immigrants who did not fit the mold of a "real" American. Nativism called upon "real" Americans to protect the nation from these "foreign" interlopers. Nativism continues to impact our political life in the form of anti-immigrant and "English-Only" movements.
The U.S. population expanded significantly between the 1820s and 1860s and, not surprisingly, widespread anti-immigrant sentiment fueled Nativism. This sentiment found its most impactful expression with the creation in the 1850s of the Order of the Star Spangled Banner known popularly as the "Know Nothings." The secretive group admonished its members to say they "knew nothing" about the organization. The roots of the Know-Nothing movement lay in the fear of immigrants in general and Roman Catholics in particular.
Based in New York State, the group recruited members nationwide. The Know Nothings' appeal was largely due to their willingness to blame immigration for the structural changes forged by the Industrial Revolution that seemed to make skilled work obsolete with technology, assembly lines and mass production of goods.
In was in this cauldron that the Republican Party was forged. The major impetus for the creation of a new party was the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. With the exception of Missouri, it prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36° 30' latitude. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed slave or free status to be decided in the territories by "popular sovereignty" much as many opponents of gay rights today wish to allow the civil rights of gays to be decided by the states in state elections.
The elements coming together to form the new Republican Party included northern Whigs opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, northern Democrats who opposed slavery and the Free-Soil Party which formed in New York State where the Democratic Party divided into contending factions: the Barnburners, who were strongly opposed to slavery, and the Hunkers, who were neutral or supportive of slavery.
Finally, and ironically, the Know-Nothing movement supported the Republican Party. They were opposed to the spread of slavery because they did not want to compete against unpaid labor in the lands being settled in the West. They were not the champions of African-Americans, slave or free.
But German immigrants who formed an important voting bloc in the mid-west opposed BOTH slavery AND anti-immigration policies. They played a key role in nominating and electing the Republican Party's first president, Abraham Lincoln, and in molding a more tolerant racial, ethnic and migration platform for the new party.
In 2012, the focus of Nativism has shifted from Roman Catholics, specifically, to all immigrant groups and particularly Hispanics and Asians. It is no wonder that the GOP, the party that was the greatest source of hope for African-Americans, both free and slave, and which found a way to embrace the aspirations of immigrants managed, in 2012, to achieve such an improbable outcome: Losing 93% of the African-American vote, 71% of the Hispanic vote, and 73% of the Asian vote.
Opposition to the "Dream Act" by many Republicans made it almost impossible for the party to appeal to young, Hispanic voters. The Dream Act sought to allow immigrants brought to the United States by undocumented parents as children, to continue their education into college and beyond and ultimately, to have a path to citizenship: In other words, to achieve the promise of the American Dream. It is the most benign form of immigration reform.
While serving as a state legislator in Illinois, Lincoln wrote a letter condemning the Know-Nothing Party. "I am not a Know-Nothing…. As a nation we began by declaring 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it, 'all men are created equal, except Negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except Negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for example, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy."
The Republican Party desperately needs courageous leaders, like the great Abraham Lincoln, who can stand up to some of our traditional constituencies who seem to believe that in order to be free themselves, they must deny others the promise of the American Dream. Like Lincoln, we need to stand up as a Party and proclaim that civil rights are "inalienable" and should not be subjected to the whim of popular sovereignty.
As a committed Republican, I will continue to vote for the party and to toil in the vineyards for its candidates. All I ask of the GOP is to lead as Lincoln beseeched us to do in his second inaugural speech, "With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds."

Durango is about to get another music festival.
Not that our town is ready to rival Telluride with weekend after weekend of nonstop music, but the addition of a day or two dedicated to a particular type of music certainly cant be a bad thing for the local culture or the bank accounts of local businesses.
The Durango Celtic Festival is set for early March. Like any upstart event or business, nonprofit or family vacation money is needed to get the project off the ground. And this being Durango, what better way to kick off a festival of music thats akin to American bluegrass than to hold a fundraiser? Saturdays pass-the-hat concert will feature Celtic band The Knockabouts, from Flagstaff, Ariz., and local band Patrick Crossing. The latter band is a regular at the Irish Embassy Pub for the weekly Celtic jams; it also plays feature gigs.
Celtic music is a fan favorite even a guilty pleasure. Anyone who has traveled to Ireland or Scotland and sat down to a pint or six of Guinness or Scotch Ales and a taste or two of whiskey can agree. Its a sound rich in history and tradition. The songs tell stories that are at times folky and dramatic, other times rowdy and as familiar as that drunken red-nosed uncle slurring along to the classics. Its similarities to old-time and bluegrass run deeper than just song structure, instrumentation and a sharing of history through song.
The Knockabouts are a great example of the crossover. Their formation is as familiar a story as the formation of many bluegrass bands. What began as informal picking sessions in whistle-player John McGregors kitchen eventually grew into a band. The classically trained tuba player eventually was joined by Jacquie, who is now his wife, and as musicians came and went, a band slowly formed. The McGregors are now joined by Ron Barton on guitar and vocals, his daughter Kari on fiddle and the female McGregor sister Julianne Layton on bodhran and djembe. Two families, one band. Theyve released five albums in the decade that they have been around, the latest being 2012s Sheep for Sale.
Americans need to understand that Celtic music is much more than what revelers traditionally crank every March 17 and then forget about for another year. Its rich and diverse enough that even the casual fan can find something likeable, as it covers a wide emotional range.
Its tribal, its rhythmic and its danceable, McGregor said from his Flagstaff home. Like all folk music, it appeals to people on a base level. We can relate to it rhythmically and melodically. It appeals to us at a fundamental level.
As tight as Celtic musics bond is with American bluegrass, it is almost impossible to disassociate the music from the booze and organizers arent even trying. Before Saturdays show, Flagstaffs Ray Pearson, a whiskey educator, collector and connoisseur of single-malt scotch, will host a tasting and workshop on the liquor that likely has inspired many of the songs that will be heard later in the evening.

Purported raids of the state's clean energy fund and unclear policy goals have left New Jersey lagging behind neighboring states in energy efficiency, a regional advocacy group contends in a new report.
The study by the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships says the state was an early leader in energy efficiency, but has "suffered greatly" over the past two years, preventing New Jersey from realizing the level of savings called for in earlier energy master plans. The group also cites concerns like the pending shift of the Office of Clean Energy duties, currently overseen by the Board of Public Utilities, to a third-party administrator.
A BPU representative did not immediately return a request for comment.
The second annual report by the Lexington, Mass.-based organization groups New Jersey with states like New Hampshire, Maine and Pennsylvania, where "anti-regulatory interests threaten states' efforts to harness efficiency as the most cost-effective energy resource." Conversely, in states like Massachusetts, New York and Vermont, "major efficiency commitments are helping to drive down utility costs for all, as states build the clean-energy economy and make progress on their emissions reductions goals."
New Jersey officials' use of clean energy funds to plug state budget shortfalls has been a frequent target of critics and efficiency advocates. Last year, Gov. Chris Christie announced plans to take another $279 million from the fund to help balance the budget.
"This report confirms the trend we've seen over the past few years here: New Jersey has gone from clean energy hero to zero," New Jersey Policy Perspective spokesman Jon Whiten said in an e-mail. "New Jerseyans are increasingly seeing the negative consequences of climate change, an enormous problem whose solution requires government action on multiple fronts."
Whiten added that New Jersey is using clean energy funds "as a political football to shore up state budgets built on increasingly shaky foundations," rather than energy-related jobs.
State officials in recent months have again discussed reducing New Jersey's clean energy fund budget, which is generated by surcharges on utility bills. The fund is supposed to support incentives like energy efficiency rebates and green job training.
All told, the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships report gives New Jersey a grade of "struggling," while determining that states like New York and Connecticut are "going the distance" with its energy policy. The group urged the state to rebuild with an eye toward energy efficiency as it recovers from Hurricane Sandy.
The organization, however, also credited New Jersey for preparing to adopt standards known as the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code.

Despite ongoing capital investment in infrastructure improvements for the Port Authority Trans Hudson service, the rail system's limited operations more than a week after Hurricane Sandy has shed a light on its core vulnerabilities to extreme weather, a transportation industry expert said.
"There's so much of the PATH service either at or below the level of the surrounding waters that, of all of the transit systems in New Jersey, PATH is among the most vulnerable," said Martin E. Robins, director emeritus of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University and former director of NJ Transit's Waterfront Transportation Office. "Climate experts have been warning us about this kind of thing for a very long time. I don't know about any engineering plans or anything being done in terms of capital investment to harden facilities in New Jersey, but there has been a lot of thinking about it, and this mess is definitely going to hasten efforts to do it."
According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the PATH system suffered widespread flooding and power outages in tunnels and multiple stations from the hurricane, leaving service suspended between Newark Penn Station and Journal Square and shut down at the Hoboken, Exchange Place and World Trade Center stations as of today. While NJ Transit began restoring its rail and light rail service on Oct. 31, the first PATH trains to run after the storm departed from Jersey City and Manhattan at 5 a.m. on Nov. 6, and service still remains limited to those two cities.
To avoid delays in full service restoration after future disasters, Robins said the Port Authority will need to invest in building seawalls several feet high to block the Passaic and Hudson Rivers from flooding the PATH corridor. But he noted constructing even the most simplistic river barriers is "not easy to do and can be very, very costly."
Aside from actual dollars, the price tag would include "a scrambled capital investment program that makes things more difficult for the PATH to meet its needs," Robins said.
"All of the different vulnerabilities uncovered by Hurricane Sandy divert resources to newfound threats here and there, instead of long-term projects," Robins said. "The whole controversy surrounding the PATH and the toll increase was driven by the Port Authority having to spend huge amounts of money to rebuild the station at the World Trade Center after 9/11. Every time you have a disaster, it's a setback for the whole system, so you just don't ever get away from these catastrophes."
With New Jersey residents increasingly flocking to cities like Hoboken and Harrison that have immediate access to the PATH, Robins said, "The role the system has in the region will become ever more important — and ever more important to maintain."
"The PATH represents a critical linkage that will always need to be protected, because it's such a central part of New Jersey's future as North Jersey grows its urban densification," Robins said. "PATH has been an undervalued yet very valuable part of New Jersey's transit system for decades, so something will need to be done to make it less susceptible to these kinds of issues."

Dover gets an honorable mention on League of American Bicyclists application; State of Delaware recognized since May as nation's fifth most bike-friendly state
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell and Secretary of Transportation Shailen Bhatt dropped by Dover City Hall Thursday afternoon to mark the city's honorable mention recognition by the League of American Bicyclists.
While city has not yet met all the requirements for a formal designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community, the League's recognition is an important first step in that process.
That, plus Delaware's moving up from 31st to a ranking of fifth as the nations' most bicycle-friendly state shows the First State is becoming even more accommodating for people looking for a healthy lifestyle, Markell said.
"Let's face it," the governor said. "Dover is a great place to ride a bike and I love riding my bike here.
"Plus," Markell added with a grin, "It's really flat and there isn't that much traffic."
Attaining BFC designation could mean a lot to the city, said Jim Hutchison III, chairman of the city's Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee, which was formed in January.
"You can see how important it is to the state of Delaware, since we had the governor and the secretary of transportation here at the announcement," Hutchison said.
"The leadership of the city of Dover believes that whatever we can do to make the city more bikeable and more walkable will make Dover a better place to live and work in," he added.
Founded in 1880 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the League of American Bicyclists works to provide a blueprint for states and communities to use in making cycling a realistic option for transportation and recreation, said Carolyn Szczepanski, the group's communications director.
Dover's honorable mention means the city has met some of the League's basic requirements to be named a Bicycle Friendly Community.
"You've made a couple of notable first steps," Szczepanski said. "You've got a complete streets policy, which means your transportation department takes into account all users, including bicyclists, when designing roads."
The city also has a bike parking policy, 13 miles of shared use paths, nine miles of bike lanes, Safe Routes to School programs in elementary schools and major biking events, such as the Amish Bike Tour and the Bike to the Bay tour, she said.
But the city still has work to do to achieve the BFC honor, Szczepanski said. More safety education and league-trained cycling instructors are needed, she said, and while the city has worked to welcome bicyclists, it still needs a connected network of bike paths as well as an updated bike plan.
One other requirement, training in traffic skills, should be fulfilled by a subcommittee-sponsored class held on Oct. 26.
To attain the basic, bronze recognition level, at least one percent of Dover's population should be riding bikes on a regular basis; currently that level, or load share, stands at 0.12 percent, she said.
Two other Delaware cities, Newark and Lewes, already have been designated Bicycle Friendly Communities, Szczepanski said. Both are at the bronze level. The group's highest standard, the platinum level, has been awarded to Portland, Ore.; with a load share of at least 20 percent, she said.
Dover Mayor Carleton E. Carey Sr. said one of the city's most recent efforts to make Dover more receptive to bike riders are the new "sharrow" markings on some city streets.
"I think it's great," Carey said. "We've been striving to make Dover more accessible for bicyclists. We're putting the markings on roadways when they're repaved, to try to make things more bicycle friendly.
"We want people to be able to ride their bikes to work or for pleasure and to make people more aware that bicyclists are on the road."

Christmas Present Ideas
It is often very difficult choosing Christmas presents for family and friends but so here are some seasonal, mathematics-related gifts chosen and recommended by Transum Mathematics.
Equate board game
Here's a great board game that will give any family with school-aged kids hours of worthwhile fun. Christmas is a time for board games but this one will still be useful at any time of year. Games can be adapted to suit many levels of Mathematical ability.
For Maths tutors working with just one or small groups of pupils this game has proved to be an excellent activity for a tutorial. Deciding on the best moves can spark pertinent discussions about mathematical concepts.
Equate looks a bit like Scrabble--for aspiring mathematicians, that is. Designed by a real mathematician, it works like this: You put down tiles on a board and make points by correctly completing simple equations. Your nine tiles include both numbers and mathematical symbols; you can add on to previous plays both vertically and horizontally. more...
How Not To Be Wrong
The maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Gödel's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.
What more could the inquisitive adult want for Christmas? This book makes a cosy, interesting read in front of the fire on those cold winter evenings. more...

Have you read Craig's book yet?
Craig Barton must surely be the voice of Mathematics teachers in the UK. His wonderful podcasts interviewing the industry experts have culminated in this wonderful book. As Craig says: "I genuinely believe I have never taught mathematics better, and my students have never learned more. I just wish I had known all of this twelve years ago..." more...
"How I wish I'd taught maths' is an extraordinary and important book. Part guide to research, part memoir, part survival handbook, it's a wonderfully accessible guide to the latest research on teaching mathematics, presented in a disarmingly honest and readable way. I know of no other book that presents as much usable research evidence on the dos and don'ts of mathematics teaching in such a clear and practical way. No matter how long you have been doing it, if you teach mathematics—from primary school to university—this book is for you." Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, UCL.

The effects of lessons in nature on subsequent classroom engagement were examined in the context of a 300-student environmental magnet school in the Midwestern United States serving a predominantly disadvantaged population, with 87% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, 82% African American, 7% Hispanic, 5% White, and 6% Multi-racial. Written consent from parents of involved students was obtained prior to the study.
The indoor condition in this study comprised two typical classrooms (Figure
Neil Barrett Designer Shoes and Leather Thunderbolt Tennis Sneakers IOFD2
; although they are not shown in the photo, both classrooms had windows). The outdoor condition comprised a small grassy area just outside the school (Figure Clarks KESSELL Trainers blue ej1Rpbn
). This instructional area was adjacent to a stream and woodlands, not used in the lesson. While the teacher was setting up the outdoor lesson, students occasionally visited the stream bank briefly. The post-treatment (and post-control) observation period was always conducted indoors, in each class' and teacher's regular classroom.
Figure 1 . The two classrooms (A,B) used for indoor instruction in this study. Written permission for the publication of this figure was obtained from students' parents.
Figure 2 . The site of the lessons in nature (A) and the route students took between their classroom and the outdoor lessons (B) . The road in the pictures was used exclusively for pedestrian traffic and (infrequently) for maintenance vehicles.
The two teachers in this study were highly experienced and state-certified in elementary education, with Masters in Education degrees and in-service training in outdoor and environmental education. These teachers had teamed together in lesson planning over a period of 5 years prior to this study, facilitating their coordination of lessons during this study.
The students in the classrooms were in third grade. Their age range was 9–10 years old.
At base, this study involved a mini-experiment replicated 20 times. In each mini-experiment, we examined classroom engagement after a lesson in nature vs. after a matched lesson in the classroom on the same topic, with the same teacher and students. Thus, in week 1 of our study, teacher "a" gave her students both a lesson on, say, leaf identification, outdoors, and another lesson on leaf identification in the classroom, and we compared indoor classroom engagement for that set of students after each of those two lessons. This mini-experiment was repeated across 10 different lesson topics and weeks (one topic per week), in each of two classrooms.

schematically depicts a mini-experiment—the fundamental unit of comparison in this study. Both the experimental condition (the lesson in nature) and the control condition (the lesson in the classroom) were 40 min long, and the observation period for both conditions was 20 min long. Observation periods took place in the teacher's regular classroom, and included an introductory 5-min presentation by the teacher on math or language arts using a dry erase board, overhead projector, or chalkboard and 15 min of assigned individual student work completed at their desks. Before the observation period there was a water and bathroom break in both conditions.

Talking point
Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli's tactics made little sense. Messi was left isolated in a false-nine role and the ageing defence played too high up the pitch, leaving them exposed to Mbappe's pace. Aguero's arrival gave them more penalty-area presence but it was too late.

Macos Rojo was the unexpected hero who kept Argentina in the tournament with a brilliant late volley to beat Nigeria and claim second place in the group behind Croatia. It was a devastating blow for Nigeria, who had been more than a match for Argentina.
A refocused Lionel Messi gave Argentina the lead with an outstanding first-half goal but defensive mistakes allowed Nigeria back in the game through a Victor Moses penalty.
As the clock ticked down to an Argentinian exit, Gonzalo Higuain put an easy chance over the bar, while Odion Ighalo had two opportunities to put Nigeria beyond reach before Rojo's sensational strike.

This restaurant is a wonderful place in town for a quick bite after a day on the lake or a fun supper in town, reasonable prices, consistent quality, and pleasant staff.
Thanks Mike and staff. Where has Authentica gone?...If you can catch the truck well then your in luck but as for "authenticity" in this stretch of broad your stuck cause I can assure you PrimeTime are not Italian an Stamnas original mexican chef Angelo who prepared Greek cuisine for Monclair's Trust Fund Trendies since it's inception finally had enough of Alex and Angela's Greek slaveology and now works for my former bosses at Primetime for way less Dinero...Yes Angelo's deep alright but I digress.Just how authentic was Tacoria's Cheeko(phil)and the man(mike) act with Lisa slinging tacos...gotta mention that silky haired short Crisco equipped gypsy server helping out in the kitchen rolling those lemons over carnitas...such a cute little wattle from a fat bottomed brown eyed girl who's sexy stutter made my tightest ponytail unfurl.Lisa's toosh can best be described like the steps to the flight of stairs on a fishing boat. It can't be the Jewish owned Mastrianos butcher store life partners across the street always smiling while grabbing their meat who try so very hard to make they're proud customers call ahead of time then wait in line,good luck boys!!!(can you slice it thinner please)cause theres always a crowd.Dont come in late once the machines are clean...just ask Chris or Ron who own that German ice cream shop on the corner now turned Soprano Saturday tour bus spectacle where all the out of town bennies kill the relaxed quiet cbs. FM laid back chill while eating a pricey greasy cheese burger that never has enough frys on the side.Just dont walk in with Rita.Leave her across the streeta.Would ya like some nuts wit-dat? That only leaves a few other places that are truly Authentica:The Chinese Shop, Boonsong Thai and the The new Jamaican "Mo Bay Cafe" let's not leave out Yogi Baby Buddha's crosswalk lotto shop. He'd put a New York Times on the side for everyone but Izzy.I delivered to him once.He demanded a discount and didn't even tip...class act alright.Sure it was just across Watchung ave but when 30plus tons of red siren gets tired of being parked at Shop-rite an whales by disrupting the normal flow of motorist and pedestrians causing everyone to cringe there's always a risk factor. I can't count the thousands of Red Checkered Wax Paper Football Flyers I whipped out of my passenger side window that strewn along the sidewalks of town late at night after closing shop.I won't forget the dozens of free quesadilIas received from Tacoria over my three year run at Primetime delivering to the absolute cheapest (dodging eye contact like they're a cool act.)scrub-hub tippers to touch the screen of a smart phone. I admired how Mike was always honest and told me exactly what he thought of the songs I wrote while on the clock at Primetime...Titles such as Hot tattoo Girl/Caught in the Rain/Sexy and Stuff/Ice on my Tailpipe/Canopy Road/Fancy girl...just to name a few are the magic that made leaving a well established successful pizza shop called AJs in Butler-(Thanks Izzy)well worth coming to Bloomfield after all. Had a blast singing for Donna and the "Salon Gossip Crew"Franky too!!Those little hotties!!!Had fun flirting with Rosemarie's rosie cheeks at Brookdale Wine Country too thus turning her gray skies blue.I'm gonna miss "Blend's"beautiful Luz,Lil Hudson and yes even Cory the hit man too. Here's a shout out to Bloomfields Finest for not being so concerned about collecting revenue as much as staying warm on the coldest winter night of my life 2/15/15 by not issuing me a summons or even noticing my red honda insight running continously for 7 hours just to keep the pizza sign illuminated which by the way is unlawful after 15 minutes.My gift for poluting the frigid night air was a four inch icesickle formed by Jack Frost while running a cold to touch tailpipe that became the inspiration for a travel-safe fanciful ending Christmas song I penned titled "Ice on my Tailpipe" Oh well I got to get home to my baby's arms she's worried half to death.I hope this storm it doesn't last too long if it's true what the weatherman said.The roads are icy and the sky is dark as you know I'm missing you so but I'll be home before the break of dawn cause it's you that I need to hold but there is ice on my tailpipe and Jack Frost is nipping my nose.I saw ice on my tailpipe I never thought it get that cold.I gotta get home to my baby's arms cause its her that I need to hold but there's ice on my tailpipe.I'd better take it nice and slow. The studio is calling and its time to fly away but not before leaving you with an original business edicit quote for the day: "Speak the language of the money you want to make...even if only for"business sake."p.s. ITALIAN owned and operated Bruno's resturant has been "tops" since 1968 which is probably why I seldom deliver outside of Clifton.Ciao Bella
