As companies get wiser about the Internet and understand that Google is not the beginning, the middle and the end in search in every country they start realising that "only" marketing in English might not cover it in France, Norway, China or Iceland. In Iceland leit.is seams to stay strong after the Google invasion and still manage to keep around 50% of the market and then there is Kvasir in Norway and Baidu in China. Dealing with International Internet marketing will need an multilingual approach. So while the US thinks Europe is one country the UK thinks Scandinavia is one there will be a list of missed opportunities.
My advice to companies that want to go International is; create a strategy, don't just go with the .com site you have and try to get it listed on the regional part of Voila in France f.e., at least translate a part of you site in the language of the country you are targeting and get locals to translate. Translations show at least minimum respect.

The Defense Department is exploring ways to build on the success of its Common Access Card (CAC) by extending identity management options to mobile devices.
For today's DOD, mobile identity and access management depends on the CAC, which in turn is tied to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System. DEERS is the central database that DOD's Defense Manpower Data Center uses to manage the identities of roughly 42 million troops, civilians, contractors, dependents and retirees.
DOD officials said they are exploring ways to move the department away from the bulky external card readers on which CACs rely. Officials are examining possibilities in near-field communications — the technology that allows some Android users to share data by touching phones — as well as in derived credentials employed via options such as microSD and SIM cards that are inserted into devices. Even biometric identification is on the table, according to a report in FCW.
But any next-generation identity management solutions will have to clear policy and technology hurdles — and not just at the Pentagon. Read more on the challenges of two-factor mobile identification at FCW.

We're definitely curious to see where this brainstorm takes the DoD. The idea of mobile phones providing security access will be a gamechanger, but also provides a number of security challenges (different operating systems, physical loss, etc).

Whether you were part of the scary storm last night or are just seeing the devastating images on TV this morning, you might be dealing with some curious or worried kids today. We talked to Dr. Paul Coleman, author of How to Say It to Your Child When Bad Things Happen, to find out how parents should field kids' questions and if they should turn off the TV.
Be a soothing example. If your family's dealing with flooding and power outages, do your best to model calm. "Kids pay close attention to their parent's mood, so you should show this is all temporary," says Dr. Coleman. "If you've incurred losses, you can convey, yes, it's a little stressful, but eventually things will get back to normal." Stress the things that are already back to normal or that stayed the same throughout the storm, like their family or favorite toys.
Ask questions before explaining. "Don't rush in with an explanation without first trying to understand what your kids are worried about," says Dr. Coleman. "Don't be too quick to tell them not worry about it. Explore it a little." Once you know their specific concerns—are they worried about the house blowing away or Mommy getting washed away on the way to work?--you can address them specifically and then reassure them.
Don't label feelings as wrong. Let them know that their feelings make sense, and that it's ok to feel whatever they're feeling. Never make them feel bad about being scared or worried.
Use your judgment about watching the news. "You have to know your child," says Dr. Coleman. "If they are young and impressionable, you might want to shield them. If your child is older, it can be a teaching moment. They'll learn these things happen, the people in charge help out, and things get fixed over time."

"Pursue your dreams not because you're immune to heartbreak but because your real life, your whole life, is worth getting your heart broken a few 1,000 times." (Martha Beck)
Martha Beck is a journalist for Cosmopolitan Magazine. When I read the above quote years ago it caused me to stop and reflect. People can take a lot of things away from you. They can remove you from your job, surroundings, possessions, relationships etc. However, they cannot rob you of your spirit. They can try to oppress you with their words and actions, but with the right frame of mind they can't keep you down.
You have to find a way to continue striving for what you want to achieve even without the approval of others. I tell my students that when they don't have someone in their corner, they have to be their own cheerleader. It is imperative to go on, despite what people say about you or try to do to you.
Let's face it, life is not fair. You don't always get what you want and seldom do you receive accolades for what you are good at. All you can do is what you know in your heart-of-hearts is right. If you have gifts that you can unselfishly share with the world then you have an obligation to yourself and others to share those gifts. As a preacher once said, "When you are given a coat of many colors, put it on and wear it proudly."
Don't cower down to bullies that try to still your joy. Don't believe what they tell you when they say "you are unfit" for this or that. Pursue your dreams no matter what, you only live once.

On the eve of the New York premiere of his Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World," in 1893, Anton Dvorak stated in an interview that he was "now satisfied that the future of music in this country must be founded upon what are called the Negro melodies. This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States."
Dvorak had been brought over to New York from Bohemia in 1892 by one Mrs. Jeannette Thurber, the wife of a wealthy New York grocer, to help establish a national conservatory of music of America. Its objective was to develop American composers who would follow the example of what Dvorak had done with the Slavonic folk materials of Bohemia and create music from indigenous American sources that would qualify as fine art worthy of being performed in the great concert halls along with the classics in the European canon.
What Dvorak did not point out, however, was the fact that for folk material to become a truly native fine art, it had to be extended, elaborated and refined through the employment of devices that were also indigenous. What he either left out or failed to emphasize was the indispensable dynamics of the vernacular imperative. Those "Negro melodies" he referred to were the product not only of native folk material as such but also of a native or homegrown process, the employment of certain musical devices that were also native, if only through frontier modification of imported procedures.
Nor did Dvorak provide any example of what an original school of American composition would sound like. Certainly his New World Symphony was not American music. It was European music about America. It was American raw material or subject matter developed in terms of European conventions of composition. Not that any American idiom would, should or even could be altogether different from European convention. It would be European-derived music significantly modified by conventions evolved in the Western Hemisphere.
Dvorak had heard Negro spirituals and other Negro melodies as well as the popular plantation-derived airs in the repertory of Stephen Foster, to be sure; and on a visit out to Spillville, Iowa, he was impressed by various Indian melodies and chants. Moreover, between 1892 and 1894 he could also have heard ragtime tunes and cakewalk instrumentals–and perhaps also some of the new music for the fox trot, the one step, etc., that was beginning to replace the waltz as the rage of popular music. Surely the composer of Slavonic Dances should not have missed anything so basic as that to a truly American music. Nor is it irrelevant to wonder what was or would have been his reaction to a musical element so uniquely American as syncopation.
In all events, he returned to Europe in 1894, and he died in 1904, four years before W.C. Handy's codification of the blues put its basic structural devices in the public domain of the popular music that was to be extended, elaborated and refined into jazz. But even so, Dvorak was prophetic enough to have declared that "in the Negro melodies of America I discover all that is needed for a great and noble school of music. They are pathetic, tender, passionate, melancholy, solemn, religious, bold, merry, gay, or what you will. It is music that suits itself to any mood or any purpose. There is nothing in the whole range of composition that cannot be supplied with themes from this source."

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A Florida couple who don't drink coffee acknowledge they have become addicted to coffee enemas.
Mike and Trina of St. Petersburg, who did not want their last name used, told ABC News the enemas take hours every day. Both work at home and they leave the house only for relatively short periods because they are unable to do without the daily ritual.
The couple will be featured on the first show of this season's "My Strange Addiction," which airs Feb. 13 on TLC.
Trina said she had been suffering from a variety of illnesses when she came across coffee enemas.
"I had a lot of stomach problems, digestive problems with my kidney and my liver," she said. "I started research and it led into coffee enemas and I really started to feel the benefit. I felt like I was living for the first time in years."
Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa, a gastroenterologist at NYU Medical Center, said coffee enemas have a "down side and really no upside." She said frequent enemas have no proven benefit but can cause irritation -- and there is always risk when a hose is inserted into the colon.

The Lead-Lag Report: Defensive Trade to Break?
Intermarket extremes are underway, and the cyclical trade is oversold. Could the deflation pulse begin to slow, or is fragility still high in stocks?
-- Michael E.S. Gayed, my father, in the second edition re-release of Intermarket Analysis and Investing
Below is an assessment of the performance of some of the most important sectors and asset classes relative to each other, with an interpretation of what underlying market dynamics may be signaling about the future direction of risk-taking by investors. The below charts are all price ratios, which show the underlying trend of the numerator relative to the denominator. A rising price ratio means the numerator is outperforming (up more/down less) the denominator.
For a full version of the Lead-Lag Report, click here.
Health Care (NYSEARCA:XLV) – Ratio Bubble?
Comments: Health care has gone vertical in terms of dramatic outperformance, which is reminiscent of early 2011 prior to the summer crash. While the trend in leadership remains in place, this looks to be an extremely crowded defensive trade. Among the defensive bear trades, this seems the most extended.
Consumer Staples (NYSEARCA:XLP) – Is Mean Reversion Coming?
Comments: Consumer staples leadership has been nothing short of stunning, and the ratio is now at pre-fall melt-up of 2011 levels. Could mean reversion soon kick in, causing cyclicals to lead and defensive sectors to break down? The trend of leadership remains up, but this could be an important thing to consider.
Utilities (NYSEARCA:XLU) – Continued Defensiveness
Comments: Much like consumer staples and health care, significant outperformance in utilities has been a part of the defensive posture within markets. The trend remains up, but signs for a reversal in the weeks ahead should be carefully watched for. Dividend sectors are rather expensive at these levels.
Small-Caps (NYSEARCA:SLY) – Crash
Comments: Small-caps relative to large-caps have crashed since the start of the second quarter as the deflation pulse beat and risk-aversion increased internally within the market. The extremeness of the move might indicate some outperformance could occur, but for now the trend remains down.
Energy (NYSEARCA:XLE) – Massively Oversold
Comments: The cyclical trade has been a poor performer, with energy looking like small-caps in terms of a severe breakdown this quarter. Further weakness might be limited as the move appears to look more like capitulation than anything else. Certainly downward pressure on commodities more broadly does not help, but this may be a bit more than is warranted.
Industrials (NYSEARCA:XLI) – Collapse
Comments: Industrials have utterly collapsed in recent months as the deflation pulse grew stronger, and the trend remains firmly down. Poor guidance and continued concerns over overseas economic growth have caused many to underweight the sector. I would not be surprised, however, if some stabilization soon kicks in.
There are multiple crosscurrents underway. On the one hand, defensives have reached an extreme level of overbought leadership, which could reverse in favor of cyclicals. On the other hands, the bond market still does not appear to be convinced of reflation. More time is needed to see if a reversal that can hold will take place. My firm's ATAC (Accelerated Time and Capital) models used for managing our mutual fund and separate accounts continue to play the deflation trade, but may be nearing a quick reversal into stocks in the weeks ahead.

The Grand Island Town Board issued a pair of proclamations at its meeting on Tuesday.
The first recognized the 50th anniversary of the Grand Island Historical Society. Founded in 1962, the Grand Island Historical Society collects and preserves materials pertinent to the history of the Town of Grand Island and, as a public service, makes the historical archives available for the use of the community and its citizens, the proclamation noted. The proclamation stated that "one of the most important assets a community can have is an organization that is dedicated to the preservation of the history of that community." The board noted further that the Historical Society provides programs, tours to educate adults and schoolchildren, and in cooperation with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation saved historic River Lea from demolition.
In issuing the proclamation, the board proclaimed the month of September Grand Island Historical Society Month in the Town of Grand Island. On hand to receive the proclamation from Town Supervisor Mary Cooke was, pictured in photo No. 1, Historical Society President Curtis Nestark, charter member Sharon Nichols (left) and Teddy Linenfelser, corresponding secretary and town historian. Also on hand from the Historical Society for the proclamation, not pictured, were Maggie Gushue, past president; Shirley Luther, life member; Jeri Benzing, membership chair; and Barbara Birt.
The Town Board's other proclamation went to American Legion Post No. 1346 of Grand Island. The board set aside Sept. 7 and 8 as American Legion Patriot Poppy Days on the Island. Noting that Post No. 1346 observes Sept. 11 as Patriot Day in remembrance of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the board called on residents to support the post's annual Patriot Day Poppy Drive on Sept. 7 and 8. In making the proclamation, the board also urged Island citizens "to recognize the merits of this cause by contributing generously to this drive, and to wear a Patriot Poppy as evidence of their support."
Members of Post No. 1346 will sell poppies this weekend at various town locations.
Pictured in photo No. 2 receiving the proclamation from Cooke is Post Commander Fred Wornick, joined by First Vice Commander Joe Synakowski, and Town Board members Gary Roesch, Dick Crawford, Chris Aronica and Ray Billica. (photos by Larry Austin)

The University of Pennsylvania Press was originally incorporated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on 26 March 1890, and the imprint of the University of Pennsylvania Press first appeared on publications in the closing decade of the nineteenth century—among the earliest such imprints in America. A member of the Association of American University Presses, the Press now publishes upwards of 130 new books and journal issues a year, with an active backlist of more than 1500 titles.
Penn is particularly well known for its books in American history, in European history and literary studies from late antiquity through the early modern period, in studio arts, and on international human rights issues. The Press has gained a leading position also in landscape architecture and garden history. By long tradition the Press has published with distinction works of contemporary ethnography, now focusing on ethnopolitical conflicts around the world. Current catalogues show more and more books in urban studies and Jewish studies. Future lists will increasingly feature books on international relations and in economics and business, disciplines that embody the ideal Ben Franklin espoused when he founded the University of Pennsylvania to provide an education that marries the theoretical with the practical.

Morenci came close last year in obtaining bridge replacement funding for the East Main Street bridge over Silver Creek, but not close enough.
The city's application came in at number five among 60 applicants in a 10-county region last year. The region stretches from the Ohio border north passed Lansing to Clinton and Shiawassee counties and includes Livingston and Washtenaw counties on the east.
Unfortunately, last year's near success doesn't guarantee any improvement for the next application, said Frank Brechting of the engineering firm that inspects the bridge.
There's no telling where the bridge will place the next time because additional bridges in worse shape could join the competition for federal funds distributed by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
"The steel is continuing to corrode and it will be funded eventually," Brechting said.
Due to corrosion of the steel beams and washout around abutments, Brechting nows makes annual inspections of the bridge.
The good news, Brechting said, is that based on his recent inspection, the existing weight limits will remain in effect for the next year.
Prior to an inspection in 2008, the weight limit was posted at 61 tons, but limits have been reduced more than once since then. Currently, the allowable weight is posted at 15 tons for a one-unit vehicle, 17 tons for a two-unit vehicle and 27 tons for a three-unit vehicle.
One change, noted city supervisor Barney Vanderpool, is a requirement to post new weight limit signs farther away from the bridge.
Morenci city council members approved an annual resolution Monday night to apply for funding. The current funding cycle is for 2015.
POLICE—Council members learned of the resignation of police officer Richard Dover who was with the Morenci department as a part-time officer for two years. Dover was hired on a full-time basis in Eaton Rapids.
Police chief Larry Weeks Dover is the second part-time officer to leave in the last two months.
"Scheduling is a challenge," he said, "but we'll work through it and keep officers on the street."
He's seeking applicants for new officers.
CANDIDATES—City clerk/administrator Renée Schroeder reminded residents of the May 15 deadline for anyone interested in filing a petition for a city council seat.
Robert Jennings, who was appointed to fill a vacancy, is collecting signatures in an attempt to retain his council position in the November election.
Schroeder noted there are still three vacancies on the planning commission and so far only one applicant.
WATER/SEWER—Council approved a simplified form that renters and landlords must sign in order to obtain water service.
As before, renters must pay a $250 deposit unless the landlord accepts responsibility for water and sewer costs at the property.

Rather than relying on a series of different security tools from a hotchpotch of vendors, home users are increasingly making the switch to a single, unified solution for their PC security needs.
With big names like Norton, McAfee and ZoneAlarm roaming this territory, it's little wonder that other players often get left in the shadows. One such player that's definitely worthy of consideration is BitDefender Internet Security 2008.
All bases covered
Like Norton, BitDefender originally made its mark in the anti-virus arena and has since evolved into a comprehensive suite of Internet security tools. This latest version includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, privacy control and anti-spam components. As an added bonus, BitDefender also includes a parental control module, helping parents have the final say on what their young ones can access online.
The big plus in BitDefender is its streamlined Security Center interface. This tool is arguably far more effective than the native Windows tool, providing an excellent overview of your computer's security situation and the ability to fix any issues with single-click ease. If you want solid protection but would rather be shielded from all the details, this feature is a winner.
Advanced users will also find their needs met with the ability to dig deeper and control virtually every aspect of the program, from the configuration of advanced firewall rules through to the finer points of spam filtering.
The only niggle is the wording of configuration items in the advanced settings section, which can be a little confusing because of numerous grammar and spelling errors in the interface.
Getting the job done
Poor grammar aside, the core programs get the job done. After installation we were alerted to the unsecured nature of the local wireless network and advised to get it fixed. Access to this network was blocked until we designated it as trusted - an easy task. All outgoing connections were blocked until permitted via the on-screen pop-ups, and the firewall worked in stealth mode automatically.
While the virus scanner isn't the fastest we've seen, it caught all of our planted viruses and prohibited the download of new threats. The anti-spam component is better than most, and did a great job of recognising spam messages as they arrived.
Over days of testing only a few spam messages got through, with no false positives on legitimate messages. The privacy control module worked flawlessly, blocking personal data from leaving our PC via Web or email connections.
Of all the components in the suite, only the parental control module disappoints. It provides some great features (such as the ability to restrict time spent online on a per-user basis), but the traffic filter for young children or teens is aggressive. While it blocked access to inappropriate content, it blocked too many legitimate searches to make it an effective tool.
Choosing the security suite that's right for you comes down to test-driving them and deciding which you like best, and BitDefender 2008 is definitely one to consider. At £22, it's easily among the most competitively priced suites around.

Next Sunday, March 17, 'Caps players will join Vancouver Canucks, BC Lions, and Vancouver Canadians players and mascots in a sports day celebration in support of children living with autism. Vancouver's four professional sports teams will come together, for the first time, for a day of sports activities and fun with over 100 families. Participants will have the opportunity to learn hockey, soccer, football, and baseball techniques, and receive tips from the pros.
"We're thrilled to be participating in this unique event that will see the four local professional sports teams work together for the first time," said Bob Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps FC president. "Enriching the lives of those living with autism through soccer and sport is something we are glad to be involved in. We look forward to continuing to work with the Canucks Autism Network to deliver high value sporting activity to these children."
"We are looking forward to joining Whitecaps FC, BC Lions, and the Vancouver Canadians in support of the first annual CAN Sports Day", said Michael D. Gillis, president and general manager, Canucks Sports & Entertainment. "Participating in sports is a powerful way to foster a fun, supportive experience where kids can gain self- confidence, make friends, and develop valuable life skills. It will be a great day for all involved."
There are over 7,000 children and youth struggling with Autism in British Columbia. By participating in this sports day, Whitecaps FC hopes to be able to provide a brief distraction and unforgettable memories for some of these children and their families.

At this point it's hard to pick 5
Lately the anime that I've enjoyed the most are Vampire Knight and Kimikiss Pure Rouge
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon has me thinking I should go watch that genre more...
(I usually only care for romance / high school / drama / comedy)
So it deserves a place on my list as well
Stein's Gate was a show that grabbed my attention form the first episode, even though I usually dislike the genre
(I won't go watch more sci-fi now since my opinion on the overall genre hasn't changed)
Star Driver is one of the most complete series I've seen. The music was epic...
If all series had that kind of epic music...
Putting those 5 in particular order...
5. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon (Though enjoyable, it was a bit too cramped, too much info in too little time)
4. Kimikiss Pure Rouge (I really loved it but in the end it's still one of many high school romance series)
3. Vampire Knight (Great series, though season 2 felt a bit downhill...)
2. Stein's Gate (Masterpiece. Never expected to be drawn in by that kind of anime)
1. Star Driver (Complete package + Epic Music)

Top 5
1. Steins;Gate - Such a great show and the universe has keeped me hooked since seeing it. The games even better too.
1. K-On - A show which I can sit and watch and have a massive great big smile on my face the whole way through. It's so relaxing and so lovely.
2. Kaminomi - I love Keima as a character and Elsea and Haqua are really awesome too. I really need to get into reading the manga.
3. Madoka Magica - Loved the setting, the animation style and it was a total unexpected love for me. Knew nothing about it before I watched it and it blew me away. Total rollercoaster ride.
4. There's so many that could go in this last spot, but I think it goes to Haruhi. After watching Haruhi I decided to finally pick up something I wanted to do since I was really young. It got me back into anime and it made me start finally learning Japanese a few years ago. The movie was fantastic and I watched Endless Eight first by accident and enjoyed it.

Bumping this up.
1) Stein's Gate
2) Code Geass
3) Death Note
4) Fate Zero
5) Tiger & Bunny
There's not much between them at all, and I could change my mind at any point. They're all essentially interchangeable. Honourable mentions for FMP, After Story and Gurren Lagann (1st half is definitely top 5), and kinda FMA - though neither of the anime incarnations match up to the manga, which is a goddamn triumph.
Oh, and DBZ exists in a separate plane of untouchable amazingness.

DEFIANCE, OHIO -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology sophomore Jimmy Miller (Indianapolis/North Central) buried two free throws with 4.4 seconds remaining, and the Fightin' Engineers defended the game's final possession to earn a 58-57 men's basketball victory at Defiance College on Saturday.
Defiance led 57-56 with 7.6 seconds remaining, when senior Ryan Hicks was fouled and sent to the free throw line for a one-and-one opportunity. Hicks missed the front end of the one-and-one, and Miller was fouled on the rebound attempt.
After a Yellow Jackets timeout, Miller swished both free throws to put Rose-Hulman ahead 58-57. Defiance junior Travis Schomaeker missed an off-balance 22-foot shot from the right wing at the buzzer, as the Fightin' Engineers improved to 10-3 overall and 5-1 in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.
The victory marked Rose-Hulman seventh consecutive win and kept the Fightin' Engineers in a tie for first place in the HCAC standings. Defiance remains in the top half of the league standings at 9-4 overall and 4-2 in conference play after the narrow loss.
The Fightin' Engineers took advantage of a 17-20 performance on the free throw line and a 35-19 rebounding edge to earn the close victory.
Senior Julian Strickland (Indianapolis/Pike) led a balanced scoring attack for Rose-Hulman with 11 points on 7-8 from the free throw line. Senior Alec Houpt (Chesterton) added eight points on 4-6 from the field.
Freshman Collin Wojcik (Schererville/Andrean) added seven points off the bench on 5-5 from the foul line. Miller scored six points on 4-4 from the line, and sophomore Tyler Duffy (Fishers/Hamilton Southeastern) also scored six points. A total of 10 Rose-Hulman players scored in the game.
Ryan Hicks led the Defiance offense with 19 points on 9-17 from the field. Bernard Edwards also scored 15 points on 6-9 for the Yellow Jackets. The contest featured a total of 12 ties and six lead changes, including two ties and five lead changes in the final three minutes.
Defiance jumped out to a 10-6 lead midway through the first, before five points by freshman Wade Stallings (Indianapolis/North Central) and scores by Duffy and junior Michael Hallstein (Hopedale, Ill./Olympia) put Rose-Hulman ahead 15-10.
The Yellow Jackets regained the lead at 19-17, before Rose-Hulman held Defiance to two points over five minutes to build a 24-21 edge. Two free throws by Wojcik and another Hallstein basket gave the Fightin' Engineers a 30-26 lead at the break.
Rose-Hulman twice built the lead up to nine points in the second half, including 40-31 at the 13:26 mark on two free throws by Wojcik. Defiance whittled away at the deficit before claiming the lead at 51-50 on a layup by Noah Reed at the 3:04 mark.
Strickland buried two free throws with 2:00 left to put Rose-Hulman ahead again at 55-54, but Defiance regained the lead at 57-54 with 18 seconds left on a jumper by Edwards and two free throws by Reed.
Senior Jordy Martin (New Albany) drove for a layup with 7.6 seconds remaining to bring Rose-Hulman to within 57-56. A foul on the subsequent in-bounds pass to Hicks set up the final game sequence.
Rose-Hulman remains in a three-way tie for first place in the HCAC standings with Hanover and Mount St. Joseph after today's win. The Fightin' Engineers return to action at home against Franklin College on Wednesday.

With more than half a million applications available on the iTunes App Store, it's tempting — and easy — to fill up your iPad with apps you use once or twice and quickly lose interest in. Fortunately, Apple makes it easy to delete unwanted apps and free up space for the killer apps you can't live without.
Make sure the iPad is turned on and unlocked. On the home screen, or the screen containing the app you want to delete, touch and hold your finger on an app until all the apps onscreen start shaking. You'll see an "X" in the upper left corner of each app. It will look like this:
Touch the "X" on the application you want to delete. A message will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the app. Tap "Delete" to delete the app from your iPad, or "Cancel" to change your mind. Deleting the app also removes all associated data, such as saved games or documents, from your iPad.
If you later change your mind about an application that you've deleted, you can redownload it from the App Store without having to pay for it again.

TOKYO (AP) — The Olympics are in Japanese weightlifter Hiromi Miyake's blood, a heritage that stretches back to the 1960s, when her uncle won gold medals in Tokyo in 1964 and Mexico City in 1968, and her father also won bronze in 1968.
"I think I was able to try as hard as I did because of what they accomplished," said the 27-year-old Miyake, who thrilled Japan last year by winning the country's first-ever medal in women's weightlifting, a silver in London. "I understood how tough it is to win a medal and to keep winning. It's a tremendous effort, and I've felt that a lot during competitions."
With the Olympics coming to Tokyo in 2020, she hopes that will inspire the next generation of Japanese athletes.
Miyake trains at one of Tokyo's leading training centers, a far cry from the conditions her uncle faced in 1964, when the country was still rebuilding from World War II. Yoshinobu Miyake recalls walking the streets of Tokyo with a crooked barbell in hand, looking for somewhere to practice.
"There were no facilities, no food to eat, no barbells, no place to practice. The coaches were struggling," he said.
In 1964, Japan won 16 golds and 29 medals in total, trailing only the United States and Soviet Union. Miyake took gold with a total lift of 397.5 kilograms (874.5 pounds). The games were a turning point for the country's athletic development. The following year, national leagues were set up for a number of sports, including soccer, volleyball and basketball. Sports clubs and facilities cropped up across the country.
Born in 1985, Hiromi Miyake says her inspiration to train for the Olympics came from watching the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Games when she was 14.
"I thought to myself, 'that's incredible,' " she said. "I thought, I want to do something different, I want to change and challenge myself."
Here's a gallery of images of the Miyakes and their medal-winning moments:

House panel passes bill to ban smoking in public
House panel passes bill to ban smoking in public
FRANKFORT, Ky. —
Smokers would have fewer places to light up under legislation that was approved by the House Health and Welfare Committee on Thursday.
The measure, supported by Gov. Steve Beshear, bans smoking in public places statewide.
The committee vote came one day after Beshear called on lawmakers in his annual State of the Commonwealth speech to pass the smoking ban.
The second-term Democrat said addiction to tobacco is hurting productivity in Kentucky, jacking up medical costs and killing people.
Beshear said some three dozen cities and counties in Kentucky already have smoking bans. He said people still could light up, just not in places where they'd expose others to secondhand smoke.
The measure now goes to the full House for consideration.

Blackthorn 51, located at 80-12 51st Avenue in Elmhurst, looks like a rock-and-roll club at first glance, but with a wide range of musical demand from his audiences, Camp expanded from what he has historically delivered to hip-hop, R&B and all other genres of music.
"We're a destination as opposed to a local 'Cheers' bar," Camp said. "If there's something booked here, and it's being promoted, people will come here for that event."
Blackthorn 51 opened last year and today, the longhaired rocker said he has just found ways to adapt to the changes.
"We get bands from everywhere," he said. "There was a time when Queens had a great rock scene."
Camp has lived in the borough for the last 20 years, and while he previously owned well-known Manhattan rock and metal clubs like the Bond Street club and the Blackthorn in the Bronx before making the move to Queens, today it's a different businesses.
"It's harder now than it was 20 years ago," Camp reflected. "The music industry has changed, the economy has changed and the world has changed."
The club owner also spent years in the promotion business, working for now defunct venues like Don Hill and the Limelight back in the '80s.
Today, the biggest change for Camp is finding ways to attract the crowd from Queens, as he says he can no longer rely on promoting in New Jersey and Manhattan.
"It has been good, but it's not like Manhattan," he said. "We can't book bands from New Jersey and get people from right across the tunnel. There are two tolls, so it's harder in Queens. You have to find your niche."
While audiences in the age of the Internet have changed the way they interact with live music, Camp explained they are now working towards putting out a website – in addition to the Blackthorn 51 Facebook page - to better appeal to the neighborhood.
"I used to do strictly rock back in the old days, but I learned that if you have a space you can do anything," he said. "I can have comedians in here, I can do fashion shows. Just because you have a space doesn't mean you have to limit yourself to only doing one thing."
Blackthorn 51 was previously a very similar space for rock music known as Arena, which Camp says went under after an accumulation of unpaid dues.
He explained that since there wasn't much to change, they moved in and just made necessary repairs before reopening as Blackthorn 51.
"It was pretty much done the way it is now," he said. "We didn't have to do a build out. I was looking in the city but the rents in Manhattan were out of control. So I said, you know what, let me try this in Queens."

Campbell, who's 59 years old and lives with her husband outside of Lexington, N.C., learned that when cancer spreads to the liver, it becomes much more deadly.
It does not matter whether cancer starts in the breast or colon, lung or skin, the real damage is caused when it metastasizes to the liver. Every year an estimated 200,000 Americans receive the grim diagnosis and few patients survive more than a year.
"There was a lot of crying. ... And we weren't sure what to do," Campbell told ABC News..
Doctors suggested Campbell enroll in a clinical trial testing a new, radically different type of chemotherapy. This experimental technique targets only the cancer site, allowing doctors to flood the liver with 10 times the dose of a standard chemotherapy drug.
"You can perhaps get a better effectiveness, which would improve the longevity of the patient and the quality of life," said Dr. Richard Alexander of the University of Maryland Medical Center, one of several now conducting clinical trials on this technique.
"Anytime you get a dose of chemo intravenously, even a teaspoon, it's going to be distributed through the entire body," Alexander said. "You are only going to get a drop or a fraction of a drop into the tumor where you really want it. But if you can direct a teaspoon of chemotherapy to a region of the body where the cancer is actively growing, then you are going to get a much higher dose of that potentially effective chemotherapy directly to the tumor."
The challenge: how to do it safely. Now, doctors say they've found a way.
In this protocol, doctors thread a catheter up to the liver and for the next 30 minutes inject the high doses of the chemotherapy drug directly to the site. To prevent the drug from reaching the rest of the body, doctors "capture" the blood -- now loaded with the chemo drug -- as it leaves the liver. The blood is passed through an external filter then safely returned to the body.
"We can very effectively capture almost all of the blood containing chemo as it comes out of the liver," said Alexander.
In a recently completed Phase I clinical trial, after four monthly treatments, liver tumors shrank in 50 percent of patients. In two patients, the tumors actually disappeared.
And early indications are Campbell's liver tumors have started to respond, and with few side effects.
"I'm surprised at how good I feel afterwards," she said. No hair loss or nausea. Some fatigue and appetite loss appear to be the biggest complaints.
Campbell does not know if, or when, her cancer will start growing again, but she knows the "targeted chemo" could provide precious time.
"I'm not ready to die," she said. "And if this can prolong my life even a couple of years, I'm willing to take it."
Medical centers participating in Stage III clinical trials of targeted chemotherapy: National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Md.; University of Maryland; Atlantic Melanoma Center (N.J.); Albany Medical Center (N.Y.); University of Texas (Galveston); St. Luke's Cancer Center (Bethlehem, Pa.); Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, Fla.); Providence Cancer Center (Ore.); and John Wayne Cancer Institute (Calif.); University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (Pa.); Swedish Medical Center (Denver, Colo.).

Dental and Oral Health (Children)
Baby teeth eruption
My baby is 9 months old. She had 2 lower central incisors at 7 months. And instead of upper central incisors, 1 of upper lateral incisor came. Do we need to check with a dentist or wait? Please let me know. Thank you.
There is great variation among children regarding the timing and sequence of eruption of teeth. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both recommend that babies have their first dental exam by 12 months of age. That is to establish a "dental home" for the baby, to provide anticipatory guidance to parents about a host of issues and questions (including timing of tooth eruption), and to rule out current problems.

Petit shines as Giants take series from D-backs
PHOENIX -- Yusmeiro Petit danced upon the proving ground known as September, striking out a career-high 10 batters and driving in a run Sunday to lead the Giants to an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The decision hoisted the Giants out of the National League West cellar, which they previously shared with San Diego. The Giants are trying to avoid becoming the second team to finish in last place one year after winning the World Series.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- Yusmeiro Petit danced upon the proving ground known as September, striking out a career-high 10 batters and driving in a run Sunday to lead the Giants to an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The decision hoisted the Giants out of the National League West cellar, which they previously shared with San Diego. The Giants are trying to avoid becoming the second team to finish in last place one year after winning the World Series.View Full Game Coverage
For non-contenders such as the Giants, the season's final month often creates opportunities for those aspiring to a greater role the following year. Such is the case with Petit, a 28-year-old right-hander who could capitalize on possible changes in San Francisco's starting rotation.
Tim Lincecum and Chad Gaudin are poised to enter free agency. The Giants are unlikely to pick up Barry Zito's $18 million option for 2014. Ryan Vogelsong's $6.5 million option is more affordable, but his return is not yet official. With only Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner guaranteed to return, Petit thus has an opportunity to claim a spot at the back end of the Giants' starting rotation.
Envisioning how or even whether Petit fits in the Giants' plans for 2014 is impossible to determine at this juncture. But, said manager Bruce Bochy, "He's doing what he needs to do, which is make some noise."
Addressing reporters through an interpreter, roving infield instructor Jose Alguacil, Petit said, "I can worry about only one thing: trying to do my job right now. Whatever they want to do next year is their decision. I don't have control over that."
Petit (2-0) possessed plenty of control against Arizona. He walked one, allowed seven hits and lasted one batter into the seventh inning in what can fairly be called one of the best performances among his 39 Major League starts.
Petit, who struck out the side in each of the first two innings, recorded at least one strikeout in each complete inning he worked except the fifth. He twice fanned Arizona's formidable slugger, Paul Goldschmidt, first with a curveball and then with a cut fastball.
"He's got some savvy out there," Bochy said of Petit.
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson agreed. "He just had a good game plan, he threw a lot of strikes and elevated his fastball, then threw a good chase curveball," Gibson said. "I just don't think the guys were picking him up well at all."
Replacing the injured Cain in San Francisco's rotation, Petit also delivered a capable performance in his previous start last Tuesday, allowing two runs and six hits in six innings as the Giants defeated Colorado, 5-3. Impressed with Petit's ability to win at two challenging ballparks, Bochy indicated that he plans to leave Petit in the rotation, which will require some personnel shuffling when Cain makes his expected return Saturday.
"It's great to have him doing what he's doing. We want to keep looking at him," Bochy said.
Petit has demonstrated effectiveness that he rarely maintained as a member of the D-backs from 2007-09, when he was 9-19 with a 5.05 ERA in 56 games, including 35 starts.
"Experience," Petit said, explaining his improvement. "Before, I wasn't consistent with what I was doing. Now, experience has taken place."
Petit received ample offensive support as San Francisco won its fourth series in a row against the D-backs and improved to 10-5 against them. Hunter Pence collected three hits, lacking a triple for the cycle, and scored three runs. He was twice driven in by Hector Sanchez, whose two-run, two-out double was the biggest hit in a three-run, fourth-inning rally. Petit, who was 3-for-68 lifetime, singled home Sanchez to complete the scoring in the fourth and record his first RBI since 2006 as a member of the Marlins.
"I was just looking to put the ball in play," Petit said.
After Petit departed, Buster Posey sealed the Giants' fifth win in eight games with his third hit, a two-run, ninth-inning double.
The Giants reversed their luck against Arizona starter Patrick Corbin (13-5), who defeated the Giants twice while allowing three earned runs in 14 2/3 innings earlier this year. This time, Corbin worked five innings, surrendering five runs and nine hits.
Asked what was different between the Giants' previous encounters with Corbin and this one, Pence said, "You can't really quantify it that way. You can't be like, 'What he did last time is what he's going to do this time or the next time.' He's a great pitcher and we were able to get some hits when it counted. But he has electric stuff. That's why he's having the success he's had this year."
The Giants kept hitting after Corbin vanished. Their run total was their best since July 31 and their 15-hit output was their largest since July 24, with the exception of their 14-run, 19-hit outburst Aug. 16 at Miami.

The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit
Simon & Schuster, 1985 - Computers - 362 pages
In The Second Self, Sherry Turkle looks at the computer not as a "tool," but as part of our social and psychological lives; she looks beyond how we use computer games and spreadsheets to explore how the computer affects our awareness of ourselves, of one another, and of our relationship with the world. "Technology," she writes, "catalyzes changes not only in what we do but in how we think." First published in 1984, The Second Self is still essential reading as a primer in the psychology of computation. This twentieth anniversary edition allows us to reconsider two decades of computer culture-to (re)experience what was and is most novel in our new media culture and to view our own contemporary relationship with technology with fresh eyes. Turkle frames this classic work with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and extensive notes added to the original text.

Many items of clothing made from synthetics are made of blends of these materials. Polyester clothing, made from a synthetic fabric, is extremely easy to clean. This has been one of the reasons for its popularity, which peaked in the 1970s. Other benefits are its being able to hold its form well and its resilience against mold and mildew damage. Many items are 100 percent polyester, but there are a lot of polyester mixes. Some cleaning rules may change when different types of material are mixed with polyester. The word "spandex" is a play on words based on the notion that the material is "expandable." Spandex consists of a substance that allows the material to stretch and maintain its shape. Additionally, manufactures blend spandex with other fabrics such as linen, polyester and cotton. •l _Add warm water to the tub or sink until it is about half full_ •l _Add a gentle detergent, such as Ivory or Lux, to the water and mix until it dissolves_ •l _Add cold water to the sink or tub until it is about three-quarters full_ •l _Gently submerge your garment in the water, making sure all the material is dampened_ •l _Using your fingers, lightly scrub stained areas until they are lifted away.

Reviewing Michael Behe's latest book, The Edge of Evolution (Free Press, 2007), in the October 2007 issue of The New Criterion, the biologist Paul R. Gross is anything but impressed. After observing that Behe's argument from irreducible complexity in Darwin's Black Box (Free Press, 1996) was quickly recognized to fail, he comments (PDF), "In response, Behe and the ["intelligent design"] movement shifted ground, first redefining I.C.
Randy Olson's Flock of Dodos, the hilarious documentary that examines both sides of the controversy over the teaching of "intelligent design" in public schools, is now available on home DVD. In addition to the film itself, which as Variety quipped is "intelligently designed for popular appeal," the DVD contains eighty-four minutes of extra features, including:
On October 4, 2007, the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly approved a resolution urging its member governments to oppose the teaching of creationism as science.
National Council for the Social Studies, the largest association in the country devoted solely to social studies education, adopted a statement on "intelligent design" in May 2007, which will appear in the forthcoming third edition of NCSE's Voices for Evolution, a collection of statements in defense of evolution education from scientific, educational, civil liberties, and religious organizations.
NCSE congratulates Carl Zimmer for winning the 2007 Communications Award for his science journalism in the newspapers/magazines/internet category from the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
A press release issued on October 1, 2007 praised "his diverse and consistently interesting coverage of evolution and unexpected biology," citing in particular:

Steven Spielberg looked to the past and the future of Indiana Jones at the 30th anniversary screening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Los Angeles on Monday evening. The director also gave fans a rare insight into his friendship with George Lucas and a daffy impersonation of the mastermind behind the "Star Wars" universe.
Spielberg and Lucas have discussed a possible fifth Indiana Jones movie, Spielberg told the audience at the event, hosted by Hero Complex' s Geoff Boucher at L.A. Live.
"We talk about it, yes, and we're hopeful," he said, joking that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" actor Shia LaBeouf might be the only person who would want to see it. "I think that was the only bridge we didn't burn because of 'Indy 4.'"
The director also talked about his "enduring friendship" with Lucas.
"The thing with George, when George and I get on the telephone, I have to clear my morning or my afternoon, because we talk for a long, long time," he said.
Check out the video below for Spielberg's impression of Lucas during their phone conversations. And stay tuned for more video from the event.

One distant day, after rinsing the bubbles of FSU Jimbo Fisher Shampoo from their hair, historians may look back and wonder how it all began.
Was it with bag of Golden Flake potato chips and a bottle of Coca-Cola? They were propped on a table next to Alabama coach Bear Bryant and his houndstooth hat for his weekly TV show from 1958-82.
"A great pair, says the Bear," was the slogan.
Multiply that pair by about 50, add hundreds of millions of dollars and you have today's marketing storm in college sports.
Athletic departments are recruiting sponsors like five-star quarterbacks. The latest major client to sign up is Winn-Dixie, a.k.a. the official grocery...

BUDA, Texas (AP) — A Central Texas school board is banning the Confederate battle flag from district property and district-sponsored events.
Hays board members voted 5-2 Monday to amend the student code of conduct to ban the flag, which was formerly displayed with the Hays High School Rebel mascot. The ban also covers any imagery deemed to be racially hostile, offensive or intolerant.
The action comes after two students were accused of writing racial slurs and urinating on the door of a black teacher's classroom in May at Hays High. The school is in Buda, 15 miles south of Austin.
In October, the Hays board decided to keep "Dixie" as the school fight song. The Confederate anthem has been known to evoke the traditions of proud state and region, but also slavery and prejudice.

Swing Sightings Volume 20
February 9th, 2004
One of the most exciting kinds of e-mail that the Swing/JFC team receive is a product announcement for a new JavaTM application that features a Swing GUI. A close runner-up is the URL for a new game or a compelling never-before-seen applet.
Over the years we've collected many links to this information. In fact, if you walked down the hallways here you would see the walls plastered with hundreds of screenshots from applications developed outside of Sun. Therefore, we have decided to launch a Swing Connection feature to share this bounty. Don't expect a comprehensive survey; these are applications that we bumped into or that found us.
This feature is called "Swing Sightings" and here are several new applications we've happened upon recently. Previous Swing Sightings are available in the numbered web pages listed below. These applications don't come with our special seal of approval (we don't have one) and, although we may have tried some of them out, we don't claim to have really tested any of them. They're here because, based on the descriptions and the screenshots on their web sites, they look like good examples of what is possible with Swing.
The button indicates that if you have Java Web Start installed, you can launch the application by just simply clicking on the the button. Note: if you don't have Java Web Start installed, you can get it here.
If you know of an application that should be considered for this Swing Connection feature, we'd love to hear about it.

Alright. Back to the rickrack rib pullover.
I guess some of you didn't think it looked terrible before. And, I thank you for that. However, I didn't give you the full view. It really was way too big after I blocked it. Too loose and boxy and baggy. And it was entirely my fault because I initially thought it was too tight. However, after re-blocking I got it exactly how I like it.
This pattern is great. Designed by Kat Coyle. A perfect combination of a stitch pattern and a stockinette. Just enough rickrack rib stitch to keep you busy and then giving you a little stockinette for those moments when you need a mindless knit.

Such a pretty sweater! Do you have any advice for a newbie sweater knitter on seaming a sweater together? I feel a little lost and your sweater looks so wonderfully put together. Thank you for your blocking advice. ~KellyReplyDelete
unDeniably Domestic
The sweater is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your know-how on blocking. As a sweater novice, it seems very complicated!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on blocking. I always block finished sweaters too - it does make a difference.ReplyDelete
Looks like a perfect fit from here, very lovely on you.ReplyDelete
I have to block my sweater pieces twice - individually (to make sure I'm still getting gauge) and another after it's all seamed up. I'm usually nervous that my seaming would pucker if I didn't do the first block and jumped right into the whole.
What a pretty sweater! I was one of those who thought it looked great before, and I still do, but I see now the great fit you were able to achieve.ReplyDelete
I swear by blocking. Sure, I get impatient waiting for a sweater to dry, but 9 times out of 10 it makes a garment look about 100 times more professional. It's like magic!
So pretty! I love it:)ReplyDelete
it's so lovely, leslie.ReplyDelete
and thanks for your thoughts on blocking. i hate blocking, but it is necessary, isn't it?
I still don't understand blocking...ReplyDelete
What happens when you wash the sweater? Do you have to repeat the whole blocking thing all over again?
Why do you block, what yarns/garments require blocking, how do you do it, and how do you then wash/maintain the blocking?
Don't feel like you have to spend an afternoon asking my questions... if you could point me to a link that explains blocking that would be great. Thanks.
Thank you so much for explaining how you 'block' in detail - as a complete novice knitter and only on my first proper project that final stage which instructs you to 'block' has always scared me a little so I tend to ignore it!ReplyDelete
I think it looks fabulous and I love your favorite wall ☺
That is lovely! And looks like a perfect fit. Your blocking tale now gives me hope the perhaps I can still salvage my Mermaid. It fit so well pre-blocking, but after got way too big. I had already decided to gift it to my mother, but maybe there is hope in a re-do? You've inspired me to try again. If you can get bamboo to "shrink" back up, maybe I can do it with my shetland wool. Fingers crossed! Thanks, Leslie, for sharing.ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous! The color is lovely, and it fits like a dream!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I popped over here. I hope to learn to knit one day (something other then a scarf or dish towel) and I was wondering how to block. I had asked my oldest sister who knits (and made me a beautiful vest this past winter) and she didn't know. I'm guessing what she had knit long ago didn't necessarily need to be blocked? Now I can share and also store the info away for myself.ReplyDelete
What I most excited about, however, is something in that shade of purple. Yum. I totally have a purple thing going as you may recall from past conversations in this wonderful space. And something in that shade of purple will totally match your awesome summertime nail polish. Yes, purple, the color of grapes that become a delicate wine to dance the jig and sing a song within as you savor each wonderful sip in good company. rockin' shockin' good! :)
The sweater came out beautiful... Both times. :-)ReplyDelete
What a pretty sweater - love the colour and the style. Glad you are happy with it now - I must try blocking on my next knitting project - sounds like it will make all the difference.ReplyDelete
this is just perfect. and why i have such a hard time posting pics. you seem to always have a perfect fit. my sweaters always seem to be too big. i have a narrow torso and find a lot of patterns need adjustment. anyway, i agree with your blocking method. thanks for sharing it. and i love the color you chose! gorgeous.ReplyDelete
okay okay you are right it looks better and isn't falling off your shoulders! you were so right!ReplyDelete
it looks wonderful on you!ReplyDelete
Yup, still a super awesome sweater!ReplyDelete
I always block the whole thing and not the pieces, too. I sometimes can't resist trying on the damp (no longer wet!) sweater, though. Gak!
Love your sweater and thanks for the mini blocking tutorial! I haven't used bamboo, maybe subconsciously avoiding it? Good to know your thoughts on it!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful. That's a gorgeous patternReplyDelete
Love the arms most especially!ReplyDelete
Looks fabulous on you!ReplyDelete
stunning! just perfect on you!ReplyDelete
Love this in blue...so pretty.ReplyDelete
I made one just like it in a varigated rose. I think I like yours better!
Just beautiful!
Please tell me it worked proper? I dont want to sumit it once more if i wouldn't have to! Both the blog glitced out or i'm an idiot, the second choice doesnt shock me lol. thanks for an excellent weblog! Anyway, in my language, there are not much good supply like this.ReplyDelete
I was questioning what is up with that bizarre gravatar??? I know 5am is early and I'm not wanting my finest at that hour, however I hope I do not seem like this! I'd nonetheless make that face if I am requested to do a hundred pushups. lol Anyway, in my language, there should not much good source like this.ReplyDelete
Really appreciate this post. It?s hard to sort the good from the bad sometimes, but I think you?ve nailed it!ReplyDelete
Daniel, yea I can see what you probably did there. I really appreciated that part, however hehe I am not that harsh like my dad with these things. He at all times tells me crazy stories again in the day and calls me a loser. I guess it's time I move out of my dad and mom' basement LOL. Aaanyways, what about you? what does your dad think xD" Anyway, in my language, there are usually not a lot good source like this.ReplyDelete
Properly, this is my very first go to to your weblog! We're a gaggle of volunteers and starting a brand new initiative in a neighborhood throughout the same niche. Your weblog provided us helpful info to work on. You will have carried out a marvellous job! Anyway, in my language, there aren't much good source like this.ReplyDelete

"There's no there there" is how Gertrude Stein famously summed up and put down Oakland, her old hometown. For the Music Center, which manages much of the prime cultural real estate in downtown Los Angeles, the problem has long been the opposite: There's too much "there" there.
To the public, by and large, the glamorous hilltop place known as the Music Center overshadows the identically named but ill-defined organization that's been in charge of venue logistics since it opened as the city's performing arts hub 48 years ago.
The glory at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Mark Taper Forum, the Ahmanson Theatre and REDCAT accrues mainly to the impresarios who put on the shows. The Music Center generally plays impresario only for a dance series of about two dozen performances each season. It also orchestrates a $3.9-million-a-year youth arts education program that's vital but less high-profile.
For the most part, the Music Center plays landlord. After the applause dies down, it provides the ushers and security staff for a safe and orderly exit, then sends in the cleanup crew. But now its shot at greater acclaim is at hand. In May, the county Board of Supervisors put the Music Center in charge of running the new Grand Park, which stretches downhill for four city blocks from the Music Center's own doorstep to City Hall's.
