KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Hillary Holt of College of Idaho has been named the NAIA National Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week and Val Veiock of Grand View (Iowa) has been selected as the NAIA National Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Holt and Veiock were selected based on their performances from Feb. 10 – 16.
Holt, a senior from Meridian, Idaho, closed out the indoor season with two strong performances in the Mile Run and 3,000-meters. She placed sixth in an elite field of professional and NCAA Division I athletes of the Mile Run at the Division I Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash., on Feb. 15. She recorded the fastest mark (4:36.96) in the NAIA by 20 seconds and crushed the Coyote school record, while hitting the championship qualifying time. The next day at the Division I UW Open in Seattle, Holt won the 3,000-meters among 31 other competitors. She broke her own school record (9:27.25) and finished with the second-fastest time in the NAIA this year. The defending two-time NAIA Women's Cross Country National Champion has now qualified for the 2014 NAIA Indoor National Championships in five events.
Veiock, a junior from West Des Moines, Iowa, earned Midwest Collegiate Conference (MCC) Co-Field Athlete of the Year after her performance on Feb. 14. At the MCC Indoor Championships, Veiock won the Shot Put and Weight Throw events. Her toss of 44-11 3/4 (13.71 meters) in the shot broke the Viking school record and earned her a championship automatic qualifying mark. In the Weight Throw, her effort of 54-11 1/2 (16.75 meters) was a career-best and also gave her a qualifying mark.
The final Women's Indoor Track & Field weekly awards will be announced on Feb. 26. For the complete Athlete of the Week calendar, click here.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains optimistic about Real Madrid's prospects of making the Champions League quarter finals after their 1-1 draw against Manchester United in the first leg of their tie on Wednesday.
An enthralling contest saw both sides score a goal apiece in the first half, though the Red Devils' away goal means that they hold a slender advantage for the second leg at Old Trafford.
But Ronaldo refuses to be daunted despite his side needing to score in England, telling journalists post-match: "At Old Trafford we can win, we always have the initiative to try to win."
"It was a well-played match. Manchester United are very strong defensively, but we created problems for them. Tonight we missed a few goals, but we do not worry. [The tie] is all open. "
|Manchester United are 10/1 with Coral to win the Champions League
The Portugal international scored on the half hour mark to cancel out Danny Welbeck's opener, but refused to celebrate, a decision he says was born out of his respect and affection for his former club.
"I did not want to celebrate the goal out of respect, as I played there for six years. I grew up there, and I have a special affection [for Manchester United]."
Meanwhile, Mesut Ozil reflected on what might have been for Los Blancos.
"We played amazingly," he told Sky Sports. "We had lots of great chances, me too in the first half. But this is football. I have to compliment the team for our performance. Now it goes on."
Ozil's team-mate Khedira believed Madrid were unfortunate not to take more from the first leg.
He said: "We had a little bad luck today. All in all we can be satisfied and look forward to the second leg."
And Xabi Alonso targets more goals at Old Trafford.
He added: "We need to go for a win. We can't approach the second leg thinking about a draw. We want to go to Old Trafford to score goals to have a chance to go through."
Both teams will lock horns once again for the return leg in three weeks, though Madrid have the small matter of two clashes against arch-rivals Barcelona before making the trip to Manchester.

Last Friday, the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester in Yonkers, N.Y., celebrated the completion of a LEGO replica of One World Trade Center by lighting the 12-foot-tall, 100-pound model. Members of the Port Authority Police Honor Guard were there to mark the event.
The model was meticulously created by a team of expert LEGO model builders entirely out of 4,873 LEGO bricks, taking more than 260 hours to design and build. It re-creates One WTC's distinctive architecture and design with LEGO bricks, from its dynamic, shimmering glass surface all the way up to its magnificent spire.
One WTC is being added to MINILAND, the attraction's signature re-creation of landmark locations and buildings throughout New York City and Westchester County. Every five minutes, the One WTC model and MINILAND complete a day to night cycle, with the building and landmark locations illuminated as appropriate for the time of day. Adding to the atmosphere are hundreds of interactive LEGO MINIFIGURES and vehicles and sounds, including moving mini cars, trucks and boats; a working subway train accompanied by familiar sounds; and a mini rock band jamming in Central Park.
Just the fifth such location in the nation, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester is a $12 million, 32,300-sf indoor attraction that offers a range of educational and interactive experiences, such as hands-on play areas, a 4D cinema, Model Builder Academy, two LEGO amusement rides, and MINILAND.

A Thankful Look at Healthcare Scene
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I've been recently working on the Healthcare Scene media kit (still being edited as we speak) and a presentation that illustrates the influence of Healthcare Scene. As part of that slide deck I gathered the numbers for this slide:
As I look at any of these numbers, I have to admit that it's really hard for me to comprehend any of them. We're approaching the 11th anniversary of Healthcare Scene and it's really hard for me to imagine how far we've come since that weekend I got bored and started blogging about EMR.
This week of gratitude, I'm particularly grateful for those people who trust Healthcare Scene for their daily cup of what's interesting in healthcare IT. Amidst all the noise that exists in this world, it's quite humbling to think that so many people look to this network of blogs to stay informed.
Just as humbling is the hundreds of companies that have sponsored the work we do at Healthcare Scene. What's best is that most of our sponsors started out as readers. It's gratifying to know that they valued the work we do enough to support our sites. A big thanks to our current crop of sponsors: The Breakaway Group, Stericycle Communications Solutions, HIPAA One, Kareo, Iron Mountain, Intel Health, Samsung, HIM on Call, Central Learning, Greythorn, Innovative Consulting Group, Cumberland Consulting Group, EMR Staffing Partners, UCSD Master in Health Informatics (Online), Galen Healthcare Solutions, and 4MedApproved. As sponsors, I've gotten to know each of these organizations quite well and they are all working hard to improve healthcare.
This Thanksgiving Week, I just wanted to take a minute to celebrate and show gratitude to all of you. Thanks for reading. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for sponsoring. Thanks for sharing on social media. Thanks for the private messages and responses. Thanks for the likes and hearts and favorites and retweets. I feel blessed to be part of such an amazing community. I can't wait to see what happens with healthcare IT over the next decade.

Gov. Martin O'Malleyexplained his headlong push for expanded gambling in Maryland as an attempt to end debate on the issue once and for all — at least for as long as he is governor. But the legislature may have sabotaged that hope through an amendment that gutted Mr. O'Malley's effort to ban campaign contributions from gambling interests. There can be no doubt about the gambling industry's influence in Annapolis after the legislature passed an expansion plan that is more lucrative for the casinos than the state by a ratio of 13-1. With the loophole-ridden contribution restrictions in the bill Mr. O'Malley signed this week, there is little chance that influence is going to diminish.
What Mr. O'Malley proposed was not perfect, but it made a strong statement in favor of stemming the political influence of an industry that is made or broken by government regulation. It would have prohibited contributions from anyone who has or is applying for a gambling license; a broadly defined set of "key employees" of licensees or applicants; and any subsidiaries, holding companies or intermediary companies of licensees or applicants. The ban applied to candidates for non-federal office in Maryland and to contributions to political parties.
Although it may seem out of step with recent Supreme Court decisions equating campaign contributions with political speech, similar restrictions have been upheld in some states (though struck down in others). The reason it is likely legal is that the gambling industry is one that would not exist at all in this state if the government did not allow it and regulate it.
Even Mr. O'Malley's proposal would not have completely cut off the flow of cash from gambling interests to the politicians. It did not close a loophole whereby developers like Maryland Live owner the Cordish Cos.or Ocean Downs owner William Rickman use the many limited liability companies created in their line of business to get around the state's contribution limits. Nor would it necessarily have cut off the ability of casino owners to attempt to curry favor with Mr. O'Malley. Although he says there is no connection between his fund-raising activities and his policy choices, the campaign fund for the Democratic Governors Association, of which he is chairman, has seen a spike in contributions from Caesars, which was recently awarded the license for a Baltimore casino. The governor's proposal wouldn't have affected possible contributions to his newly-formed federal political action committee either.
Nonetheless, Mr. O'Malley's bill at least showed an understanding of the potentially corrupting nature of contributions from gambling interests. The legislature, by contrast, left in place a sham restriction. It only bans contributions from those who own at least a 5 percent stake in a casino. That leaves out most of those involved in the group that's building the Baltimore casino, and it allows the possibility of contributions from key employees, subsidiaries and holding companies. That is to say, the vast majority of potential contributions from gambling interests would be unaffected.
Sen. Edward Kasemeyer, the Howard County Democrat who chairs the Budget and Taxation Committee, raised an excellent point in explaining his decision to weaken the restriction. He told The Sun's Annie Linskey and Michael Dresser: "In a way, it looks bad that you exclude the gambling people. Why not other people who do business with the state?"
Why not, indeed? Mr. Kasemeyer's argument builds a case for much broader campaign contribution limits, not for throwing them out in this instance. The only truly reliable way to diminish the influence of special interest money in politics would be to enact public campaign financing — an idea that has passed the House of Delegates but has died repeatedly in the Senate. But restricting contributions from those who stand to profit from government decisions, which look to all the world like legalized bribery, would be a step in the right direction. And given the state's history of political corruption associated with the gambling before slot machines were outlawed here in the 1960s, the casino industry would be a good place to start.
The experience of other states is that once gambling is legalized, the issue never goes away. Year after year, gambling interests come back seeking concessions. Mere minutes after the General Assembly voted to approve the gambling bill in this week's special session, Senate PresidentThomas V. Mike Millerwas musing about the possibility of one day allowing two casinos inPrince George's Countyinstead of just one. Had Mr. O'Malley's proposed restrictions been allowed to stand, the people would have had a fighting chance of standing up to the relentless pressure from the gambling industry. Now, it's open season.

text: Thursday, April 14, 2011 New in the Literature: Postthrombotic Syndrome (CMAJ. 2011;183:37-44) As exercise training may improve post-thrombotic syndrome, it would be feasible to definitively evaluate exercise training as a treatment for postthrombotic syndrome in a large multicenter trial, say authors of an article published in the January issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Patients were randomized to receive exercise training (a 6-month trainer-supervised program) or control treatment (an education session with monthly phone follow-ups). Levels of eligibility, consent, adherence, and retention were used as indicators of study feasibility. Primary outcomes were changed from baseline to 6 months in venous disease-specific quality of life (as measured using the Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study Quality of Life [VEINES-QOL] questionnaire) and severity of postthrombotic syndrome (as measured by scores on the Villalta scale) in the exercise training group versus the control group, assessed by t tests. Secondary outcomes were change in generic quality of life (as measured using the Short-Form Health Survey-36 [SF-36] questionnaire), category of severity of postthrombotic syndrome, leg strength, leg flexibility, and time on treadmill. Of 95 patients with postthrombotic syndrome, 69 were eligible, 43 consented and were randomized, and 39 completed the study. Exercise training was associated with improvement in VEINES-QOL scores (exercise training mean change 6.0, standard deviation [SD] 5.1 v control mean change 1.4, SD 7.2; difference 4.6) and improvement in scores on the Villalta scale (exercise training mean change -3.6, SD 3.7 v control mean change -1.6, SD 4.3; difference -2.0). Most secondary outcomes also showed greater improvement in the exercise training group.

12 dead in violence in C. African Republic capital
BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — A Red Cross official says at least 12 people are dead following clashes in the capital of volatile Central African Republic.
Paul Nassenmo, a local leader with the country's Red Cross, said Wednesday that the fighting had taken place in the Boy Rabe neighborhood of Bangui.
The area is believed to be home to loyalists of ousted President Francois Bozize and has been the scene of frequent gunfire in recent weeks.
Thousands of armed rebels invaded the capital in March and overthrew the government.
National radio reported that rebel leader-turned-president Michel Djotodia called for an urgent meeting Wednesday afternoon with local leaders following the latest violence.
The United Nations and others have expressed growing concern about the deteriorating security situation across the country in the months since the coup.

The release train has finally picked up some speed, so we are proud to present this new version.
This version fixes the Google proxy again, this is happening because there are things that we really cannot control. But again, it works.
The other change is some fixes in shortcodes, you can read the much improved documentation in the following link:
Shortcode support in Transposh wordpress plugin
The main changes include the additional
[tpe] shortcode which was added on top of the older
This code is used for self enclosing codes, where it is not necessary to close the tag, this is because a caveat in wordpress which causes
the code parsing to go berserk when mixing self-enclosed and closing shortcodes.
Also, there is no need to specify
="y" any more, so now
[tpe mylang] will simply work and output:
We urge you to upgrade, and enjoy this new version.

MELBOURNE, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Maria Sharapova and Li Na both won in straight sets Tuesday and will meet in the women's singles semifinals of the Australian Open.
Sharapova, the world No. 2-ranked player continued her strong tournament with a 6-2, 6-2 win over 19th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova while Li ousted fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 6-3.
Radwanska took a 13-match winning streak, during which she had won two tournaments and hadn't lost a set, into the match against Li and led 5-4 in the first set. But Li broke Radwanska at love, rallied from a 0-30 deficit to hold for a 5-6 lead and finished off her fourth break to win the set.
Radwanska won the first two games of the second set but Li claimed the next five and survived two break points in taking the ninth game to hold for the match.
Li ended up with six breaks and won 57 percent of the points when Radwanska served.
Sharapova again made short work of her opponent. She's dropped just nine games in her five matches in Melbourne. Makarova notched a break to even the first set at 2-2 but Sharapova won the next six games to take the set and go up 2-0 in the second. She strung together another three-game winning streak and capped the match with her fifth ace of the day.
Sharapova won 70 percent of the points on serve and had 22 winners against 19 unforced errors.
Sharapova owns an 8-4 series edge over Li, including wins in all three of their 2012 meetings.
The other women's semifinal pairing is to be decided Wednesday when world No. 1 and defending Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka plays unseeded Svetlana Kuznetsova and third-seeded Serena Williams meets No. 29 Sloane Stephens.

There still isn't a day that goes by without shedding a tear. But I am blessed with four children that give me great comfort. They have been, and still are, with me every step of the way and I know this has been hard on them as well. All we can do is love and comfort one another.
I have been diligently trying to put one foot in front of the other. I dipped my toes into the water and hope to start a genealogy group next month within my new community. The word is out and it appears that there is a genuine interest among many. I am hoping that will help me resume doing something I genuinely enjoyed and help heal the hole in my heart.
What brought me here today was remembering a poem I wrote years ago. I would like to share it with you. It is called.

Released in Europe and the UK late last year, the Nokia Lumia 800 is a solid Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) handset. Although only the unlocked version is available in the US, the Lumia 800 may give us good idea of what we'll find inside the soon-to-be-released Lumia 900, which Nokia announced at CES 2012.
In this week's episode of Cracking Open, I show you what's inside the Lumia 800 and explain why prospective buyers (particularly in the U.S.) should skip it and wait for the Lumia 900.
The Lumia 800 has a single-core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor (MSM8255T) with an Adreno 205 graphics processor. The handset also has 512 MB of RAM, 16 GB of flash storage, a 3.7" AMOLED display (800 x 480), 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, and an 8 MP rear-facing camera. The Lumia 800 measures 116.5 mm (H) x 61.2 mm (W) x 12.1 mm (D) and weighs 142 grams.
Full teardown gallery: Cracking Open the Nokia Lumia 800
Cracking Open observations
- Single-piece polycarbonate case: Like the Nokia N9 and Lumia 900, the 800 has a single-piece polycarbonate case. The phone is slightly heavier than the Motorola Droid Razr and Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but has a solid, sturdy feel.
- Good build-quality, easy to open: The phone's construction quality is good and opening the device was relatively easy—although popping off the display panel was a little nerve racking.
- Decent, but not cutting-edge, hardware: Like the Lumia 710, the 800 has a single-core, 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor with Adreno 205 graphics and 512 megabytes of RAM. But unlike the 710, it has twice as much storage, a better camera, and an AMOLED screen. In a world of dual- and quad-core mobile CPUs, I wonder if the the single-core Lumia will be able to keep up.
- Smaller battery than similar phones: The Lumia 800's 1,440 mAh battery has less capacity than the Droid Razr (1,780 mAh) or Galaxy Nexus (1,750 mAh).
Internal hardware
Our Lumia 800 test unit has the following hardware:
- 1.4 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 (MSM8255T) processor (with Adreno 205 GPU)
- Elpida B4064B2PD-6D-F 2Gb LP DDR2 DRAM (512 MB)
- 16GB Hynix NAND flash chip (H26M52002CKR)
- 3.7" AMOLED display (800 x 480)
- 8 MP rear-facing camera
- 3.8V, 1,450 mAh Li-Ion battery
- Atmel mXT224 touchscreen controller (MXT-N0K1 CCU-1R6 1G4456B)
- Broadcom BCM4329 Low-Power 802.11n with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and FM (BCM4329EKUBG)
- Qualcomm PM8058 power management IC
- Qualcomm QTR8200 RF Transceiver
- TriQuint TQM7M5013 Quad-Band GSM / GPRS / EDGE-Linear Power Amplifier Module
- AAC Technologies ELV1411A X Direction Linear Vibrator (vibratior motor)

Comment: How long before this is blamed on a Tea Party acitvist/Ron Paul supporter or 9/11 truther?
12:42 p.m.: The pilot of the plane had set his house on fire beforehand, stole the plane and crashed it intentionally, a federal official told CNN.
12:40 p.m.: Federal officials said two F-16 fighter jets were launched as a precaution after the crash, though terrorist intent was not indicated.
UPDATE: NTSB official told Fox News that they are investigating Austin, Texas plane crash as an intentional act, and said it appears the pilot set his own house on fire and then got in his plane and flew it into the building. An NTSB spokesman, however, told FoxNews.com that "we can't confirm any of that."
An IRS office is located inside the building, NTSB told Fox News.

The Lake Mead Safe Boating Partnership will kick-off the first day of 2006 National Safe Boating Week with its first public event - "Safe Boating Day" - on May 20th at Lake Mead's Hemenway Harbor. The many activities will include life jacket instruction (free life jackets for the first 250 attendees), at-the-water boating safety and training for personal watercraft (PWC), vessel safety checks provided by the U.S. Power Squadrons, safety demonstrations for all boats including houseboats, kayaks and canoes, and boat launching demos. Admission to Lake Mead will be free for all Safe Boating Day participants. Attendees who show proof of successful completion of any U.S. Coast Guard or National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating safety and take the May 20th "at-the-water mini course" will be eligible to win a brand new 2006 Sea-Doo GTI personal watercraft, a family houseboat vacation, or a Colorado River rafting trip or kayak tour.
MEDIA BOAT TOURS ON LAKE MEAD: Media will have opportunities to ride along with park officials on PWC and the patrol boats to get on-the-water footage before Memorial Day. As in the past, unless a major incident occurs, no requests for interviews will be considered Memorial Day weekend. B-Roll will also be available.
Park Officials from Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Representatives from the California Department of Boating and Waterways, Nevada Department of Wildlife, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and the Personal Watercraft Industry Association
Saturday May 20, 2006
Hemenway Harbor, Lake Mead (Nevada)
National Safe Boating Week takes place May 20-26, before Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the boating season. About 8-10 million people visit Lake Mead National Recreation Area each year, many from California. On a busy weekend, up to 5,000 vessels can be on the lakes
in the Recreation Area. Sadly, however, boating accidents do occur -
many of which are preventable if boaters learn how to become safer boaters. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, nearly 90 percent of those who drowned in 2004 were not wearing a lifejacket. On May 20, we will share some potentially life-saving "safe boating tips" with your audience that can help improve safety and reduce accidents on the water.
Launched in January 2006 by the National Park Service, the California Department of Boating and Waterways, the Arizona Game & Fish Department, the Nevada Department of Wildlife, and the Personal Watercraft Industry Association, the Lake Mead Safe Boating Partnership aims to improve safety and reduce boating accidents and fatalities at Lakes Mead and Mohave.

Zen gardening. It's a whole different thing. It combines meditation plus horticulture in a waterless environment, including mindful placing of stones and the raking of the sand, which Wolverine's claws were practically made for--a Zen garden is never truly finished, so I would be surprised if there were not an Old Man Logan 2 in the future.
by Porcelain38 » Wed Sep 23, 2009 4:49 pmSeriously.
That's it?
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Sep 23, 2009 4:54 pm
Not quite. After the meditation sequence, Logan remembers a lot of money he hid away in the past but forgot about--which he then uses to build a schoolhouse so the trailer-Hulks can get a decent education, including Home Ec. so they can learn to cook their people before they eat them.
The funny thing, though, haha, is he could have just used that money in the first place! And never gotten into debt, wife and kids slaughtered, roadtrip, Red Skull, etc. Man, do him and Banner have a good laugh when they realize that!
Millar is a trip.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Sep 23, 2009 5:15 pmOld Man Logan #1
Ok, I won't rehash my observation that we are now apparently getting less for our $5 now than we were even just a month or two ago and go straight to the review:
Man, this book totally surprised me. I never expected such a thoughtful and poignant conclusion (?) to the OML storyline--when the two page SNIKT! happened last issue, I assumed this would just be a bloody panoply of chopped up, sliced-and-diced Hulkage, but Millar does a 180 here, or maybe even a 190, and turns everything you think you know about the character on its head.
On the way to kill some Hulks, Logan remembers his wife always loved Zen gardening, and thus begins the 12 pages of silent meditation panels. Usually I get peeved when an artist uses the same image over and over panel after panel, but this sequence really captures how it would feel to sit still and not think for days on end.
Logan has finally popped his claws again, and it is ironic that he uses them here to gently rake sand into swirling patterns that are reminiscent of the contours of Professor X's bald head, leading him to remember simpler days in the past and some money he hid someplace.
At first Logan is too intent on building the new Hulk school to realize he could've just paid off Banner with the money, when they both realize it at the same time it's a hoot. But when all is said and done, there are too many memories of good times and so Old Man Logan rides an old-timey bicycle out of town in the middle of the night.
Millar defied all my expectations here, and has promised to send me $2 in the mail to make up for the price.
I give this an 11.

I didn't want Punchy to go off in a huff and quit posting--although that is pretty much what he was telling me I should do at the beginning . I don't think I've ever told anyone here they shouldn't post an opinion or observation just because I don't like reading it--I hope not anyway, because that is what pissed me off.
by guitarsmashley » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:27 pm
You should do it more often. It's kind of fun especially when you win. Hell just two weeks ago I got someone so turned around he's barely back to posting anything of actual content.
by McKegan » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:37 pm
Damn you and your cupcakes.
by Zechs » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:39 pmOk this is the comic book form of Unforgiven. Hell.. I think Logan was wearing the same dirty hat and coat. Millar should stick to out of universe Marvel stuff. Where he tells the best stories without any continunity to worry about. That zen gardening sure paid off in the end though with that lone bud blooming. Such a sign of a new age a dawning.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:43 pm
Mark Millar does seem to be drawing from a lot of films lately--and Ultimate Avengers even feels like a movie in terms of pacing and certain...tropes (I'm your father, Luke, oops, I'm your son, Cap). Feels like he is sort of writing film-ish comics. Maybe from working on screenplays or something, it has been a natural evolution.
by guitarsmashley » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:43 pm
I had to get you into my rape van somehow.
by Porcelain38 » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:46 pmOk, seriously. Him just gardening for a whole issue is bullshit.
What about the preview pages of him destroying the Hulks?
Him having money "he forgot" about to build a school has to be bullshit.
by Zechs » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:48 pm
Right after that was when he realized vegenance would get him nothing but more death. When he was about to strike down that poor helpless bartender.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:49 pm
Well, it's a weak plot point, to be sure, but calling it bullshit will get Punchy on your ass, man.

Come on, sexy dancing causing a problem in France?? They invented sexy dancing. Anyway Salome was much worse in that respect. She does this long erotic striptease (the dance of the seven veils) and then plants a wet sloppy kiss on the severed head of John The Baptist. That didn't even cause a ripple in Paris. No, the dancing and the dissonance were not the main issues.

I'm having a bit of trouble believing you. Could you tell me some specific compositions before the rite of spring that proves it wasn't the first of it's kind? I don't mean examples of primitivism, but something with the rhythms and harmonies that he used?

I did give some examples, but I'll expand a bit here.
The predominant harmony in The Rite of Spring is the octatonic scale (a pattern of alternating whole steps and half steps). Both Alexander Scriabin and Mily Balikirev had explored the possibilities of the octatonic scales in years previous to Le Scare. there are hints of it in much Russian folk song and Mussorgsky (a friend of balikirev) has hints of it in Pictures at an Exhibition.
The other concept that drives the harmony of Le Sacre is tonal indeterminacy and again, Scriabin and Balikirev are excellent examples of this principle at work (Balikirev in the 1880s and Scriabin in the first decade of the 20th century. There are entire books written on Wagner's "Tristan chord" and Scriabin's "Mystic chord". The idea of this new type of tonal, yet undefined harmony were nothing new in 1913.
Stravinsky relied more heavily on the use of dissonance than the other two to accomplish the same goal, but interest in dissonance was also to be found everywhere in the first years of the century. Schoenberg had created Perriot Lunaire a year before Le Scare and it was every bit as dissonant and jarring. Schoenberg was exploring atonality (Perriot is NOT serialism, it is abstract atonality), as were many other composers at the time. Stravinsky simply combined the dissonance of the time with the octatonic scales he knew from russian folk music. He "created" nothing new, but used what was around him and was gaining popularity.
The story with the rhythmic content of Le Scare is similar. Additive meters were nothing particularly new at the time. Bartok had made his collection of Hugarian folk music which used them extensively to mimic the slavic language speech patterns, and most of the russian composers had incorporated them into works after 1860 or so. Polyrhythms were newer, but not unheard of. Remember that part of the Primitivism movement involved exploring "primitive" cultures. So anyone interested in this as Stravnsky was had certainly seen and heard Gamelon orchestras, African drumming and other asian music (The Paris World's Fair in 1900 had all of these on display), all of which are heavily poyrhythmic. Scriabin, again used polyrhythms in many of his piano sonatas. Le Sacre is pretty primitive in its use of polyrhtyhm. it is primarily an exercise in changing meters and shifting accent stresses and this was done to emphasize the primitive aspects of the story line), all of which had been done before,
Stravinsky had an uncanny knack for being able to sense what was going to be "the next big thing" and working with it in his own individual style. That he was more successful than others shows his genius at working with existing material in a highly creative and individual way. it does not show that he broke any new ground. That's why he would be the guy who could make symphonic prog interesting and alive again, not by changing it, but by being better at working within the confines of the form.

Trademark, What you write is interesting and compelling. But I dont agree with you, even though I'm not as expert as you. The point is not if some elements and tecniks of 'The rite of spring' has been done before or not. The point is how revolutionary this composition sound as a whole, back than, and still today. and it really does...
also I'm not so sure that the first theme sound to the audience so similar to the 'Paun' flute theme by Debussy. In fact its taken from a tradition russion song from the krapt hills or such (I dont remember exactly at this moment). I dont 'buy' that 'Paun' story. The aucience was shoked from everything, they didnt understand what they are hearing or seeing, but they react in a very strong way, because the composition was so strong and unique....
back to the proggy thing: Baldies, I just wanted to say that although according to my own taste, I, as you, prefere more natural and organic productions, I dont agree with your attitude as a whole. There are so much good new things I am willing to hear (and dont reach it, due to time and money problems...) so many good things around, whether 70's like sound, or more modern sound, you just have to keep tracing reviews and recommandation, thats all. If you like to, find yourself a reviewer with similar taste as you, and follow the recommandation.

I'm not selling anything so you don't need to buy it. I'm just laying out the facts of the times. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. The fact that it could sound revolutionary without being revolutionary in any way was the whole point I was trying to make. That, in a nutshell, was Stravinsky's genius.

Okay, I understand that the elements stravinsky used in his composition had all been used before. I know the octatonic scale was used before, that while he did previously unknown chords, so did other composers, and that in itself isn't revolutionary, and that polyrhythms had existed as a whole forever, and additive rhythms were nothing new, but what I am looking for is some composition that preempted the song the rite of spring. It doesn't matter if the elements were there. Everyone builds off of established elements, you can't say that since the elements were there, that the song wasn't innovative. To use a prog example, the elements were there before In the court of the crimson king, but nobody in his right mind would claim it isn't an innovative album. That's what I meant when I asked for a specific example. Something that had put the elements together before stravinsky, something that proves the rite of spring wasn't revolutionary or innovative, but just sounded revolutionary and innovative without the context of other pieces that had the same or similar sound, something that encapsulates the ideas of the rite of spring as a whole, even if it lacked the quality.

I've given plenty of examples, I suggest you check into some of them.
If you're asking if any other composer ever wrote a ballet score about a virgin who dances herself to death to appease the gods which featured flat-footed dancing, vigorous rhythms and dissonant octatonic harmonies? The answer would be probably not. If that equates to innovation for you, that's fine, but virtually all those separate elements had been used before to one extent or another by previous composers.
By your definition the song Firehouse by Kiss is wildly innovative and revolutionary. That guitar riff had never been heard before, no one had sung "whoo hoo yeah" quite like that, and that siren at the end, truly cutting edge stuff. None of those very specific things had ever been put together before but does that make it revolutionary or innovative? Not really.

I can't find the examples you gave. All I can find is you mentioned a few composers, perriot lunaire and Pictures at an exhibition. Did you accidentally post examples and delete it?

Guys, if you don't mind this conversation has gone way off-topic. If you want to continue this discussion about Stravinsky, please make a separate thread in the General Music forum.

You know there is a saying out there ... when you know it ... it's easy ... when you don't ... it's hard.
It's the same if you play an instrument or want to learn something about anything in life, be it about the lady, the man, the kids, the car ... you name it ...
My context (and ideas) come from a house that has 3k worth of classical music from the earliest to the likes of Stockhausen, LIgetti and Heinemman. And then, this fool started compiling his own collection ... and since I was european and had already heard a lot of fine music ... much pop stuff did not feel "authentic" or "exciting" ... at all ... I much preferred to hear Renata Tebaldi pop over her Turandot solos and arias than hear Mariah Carey with her (very nice) pipes .... but the music and the feeling behind it is ... empty to me ... does not have enough color behind my inner sight of music ... doesn't mean she is not a good singer or that Pavarotti was not good ... just means .... they do not resonate with me spirit.
Peter Michael Hamel wrote a book ... "From Music to the Self" ... and it is ... very good, once you get past his severe criticisms and occasional put downs of his own neighbors and artists around him ... but he has a couple of bits that are special ... one is about the musician that is playing a 1 string instrument and he is saying "I got it ... I got it" ... and no one else around him gets it, or can figure out "what" he is getting.
You should get the ZEN meaning behind that one ... the message might also be ... there isn't one!
But it also tells you something very important that Peter does not mention ... and that is ... the "people" around this guy that is seeing things have a "concensus" (idea/opinion) and they are all basically agreeing that the old foggie playing one string is crazy ... AND .. if you ask me ... that is what happens here.
That said ... I can not, and WILL NOT tell you something is not good ... it's not fair to the artist ... I will tell you that Chuck Berry is boring ... period. I will tell you that one of the best concerts I ever saw was YES doing Topographic Oceans at the Long Beach Arena ... but people were there to smoke dope and hear 3 other songs! I was not happy ... and I can tell you that neither were many others .... and hearing some KMET and KLOS idiots say that the new YES album was horrible ... and not "rock'n'roll" ...
YOu know what ... I don't give a cahoot if it is rock'n'roll or not ... is it good music ... is it kicking your butt ... or mine ...
End of the story ...
Now this brings up the term "progressive" ... again .. based on the history of the long cut in radio in the past 40 years, I can tell you that there are ... maybe ... 10 bands that fit the term ... and I say that because they are so far out and bizarre and different ... that there are not enough labels to even call them ... the rest? ... just very good and expressive music ... get rid of the labels plz ...
You will learn, feel and appreciate a heck of a lot more ... do not EVER listen to something just because someone said it was progressive.
See yahh .. enjoy the music

Friday afternoon traffic was backed up along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 due to two separate vehicle problems. Hood River City Police responded to the first call for help about 3 p.m. near mile post 68. They arrived to find a Suburban with a travel trailer that was stranded in the middle of the freeway. The vehicle, driven by Harold C. Schweitzer, 77, of Portland, had lost a rear tire. According to reports, Schweitzer lost control of the SUV after it swerved and struck the median barrier before coming to a stop. A tow truck arrived to clear the scene after both lanes were closed for about 20 minutes.
About an hour later, three vehicles were involved in a rear-end accident near milepost 63. City Police were once again the first responders and found two of the automobiles with more than $1,000 in damages.
According to reports, the incident occurred when a Honda sedan driven by Leng T. Tang, 38, of Boring was headed toward The Dalles and hit the tail section of a Honda sedan driven by Carlos C. Haycock, 25, of Portland. That impact sent Haycock's vehicle into the back of a Dodge mini-van driven by Marco Medrano-Perez, 29, of Hood River. Both Tang and Perez were estimated to have higher repair costs than Haycock, although no one sustained serious injuries.

Alan Lomax, Folk (Music) Hero
By: Legacy Staff
6 years ago
Once upon a time, folk music was not the respected genre it is today.
There were no Bob Dylans, Joni Mitchells or Paul Simons. Far from being household names, singers such as Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives and Pete Seeger were just getting by. Now-legendary bluesmen like Lead Belly and Muddy Waters were known, but only in certain segregated circles. Jazz – folk and blues music's most noted offspring – was still barely a teenager. For the most part, folk music was still down-home stuff, performed by residents of backwoods and hollers, and largely unknown or dismissed by the rest of the world.
Alan Lomax helped change all that.
"At a time when there was a strict divide between high and low in American culture, and Afro-American and hillbilly music were especially scorned," wrote Larry Rohter in The New York Times, "Lomax argued that such vernacular styles were America's greatest contribution to music."
Lomax devoted his life to going to the backwoods and hollers and recording the songs played there, helping to create a massive archive of folk music for the Library of Congress. He made the first-ever recordings of Guthrie's music; he preserved tracks by Lead Belly and Muddy Waters. And he presented this music to the public, teaching us about the origins and importance of the music our ancestors made.
In addition to recording folk music, Lomax interviewed the musicians, gaining insight into the way the music was passed down through generations, and learning more about the lives behind the music.
Lomax went beyond the borders of the U.S. to chronicle folk music – working with other historians, ethnomusicologists and anthropologists (such as Zora Neale Hurston), he traveled all over the world, with notable projects in Haiti and Europe.
Ten years after Alan Lomax's death, the tens of thousands of songs he recorded are still being released to the public, in large part thanks to Lomax's own efforts to digitize the recordings and make them widely accessible. According to the New York Times, Lomax "devoted the last two decades of his life to the Global Jukebox project. Looking for commonalities among musical styles from all over the world, he early on began using personal computers to help develop criteria to identify and classify such similarities, in the process creating something very much like the algorithms used today by Pandora and other music streaming services." Folk music fans are thankful, and so are folk musicians. But don't take our word for it – just ask Bob Dylan:
"Alan was one of those who unlocked the secrets of this kind of music. So if we've got anybody to thank, it's Alan. Thanks, Alan."

At the very moment that someone was leaving two bombs on the sidewalk in Boston on Monday, just a few miles away thousands of people were celebrating the life of an American hero.
At Fenway Park, every player on both teams was wearing the number 42 on his back. It is a number worn by every player in baseball one day each year to honor Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier to become the first black player in the modern era of the major leagues.
Monday was the baseball world's equivalent of the Martin Luther King holiday. It has particular meaning in Boston, which was the last baseball team to integrate, in 1959.
When my wife and I could no longer watch the events unfolding on television Monday — the frightened and confused crowds, the frail runner collapsing to the ground and the blood-stained sidewalks — we went to find inspiration in the movie "42," which chronicles the life of Jackie Robinson.
Robinson's story helped me to remember that for every senseless act of violence and for all of the hate-filled and paranoid rantings we endure in the name of politics, there are countless angels moving among us who keep lifting the human spirit and pushing the world to a better and higher place.
They do that not through hate and vengeance but through love and hope and a sense of grace in the face of discouragement and setbacks and misfortune.
Jackie Robinson had that grace. When he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, he was the only black man among 400 professional players. That made him a target of unspeakable hatred and cruelty.
He simply kept moving forward, stoic and even noble, inspiring a generation of black children and along the way helping his white teammates and millions of fans to learn to see talent first rather than skin color.
Robinson reminds us of something important. Great social changes are seldom the product of individual leaders who live in history books.
They are the cumulative result of hundreds and thousands who brought their talents to the game, fought back their own fears, stayed calm in the face of instigation and never stopped moving forward. Each, in their own way, broke the next barrier ahead of them, and allowed others behind them to do the same.
Transformative change happens in a chain of moments, forged one link at a time. Robinson's chain stretched back to the slave revolt of Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad and President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
It continued forward through thousands of black and white leaders, ministers, athletes and artists, Rosa Park's refusal to move, the dream of Martin Luther King and the election of Barack Obama.
As I sat in that theater, I was reminded of two individuals who were links in that chain and who inspired me as a young boy, long before I realized that they were black.
The first was my mother's favorite singer, Nat "King" Cole. Cole's expressive and warm voice and his unfailing good humor opened American living rooms like ours to color-blind musical appreciation.
He was the first black man to have his own national television show. When it was canceled after one year despite good ratings, when national advertisers fled under racist pressure, he said simply that "Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark." Cole was turning on the lights.
Then there was Cassius Clay, who later became Muhammad Ali after converting to Islam.
In a time when it was the habit, if not a requirement, that black men should avert their eyes at the gaze of white people, Ali proudly and audaciously proclaimed himself "the greatest of all time."
He virtually invented the phrase "black is beautiful." Then he backed it all up in the ring, along the way reinventing boxing from a game of ponderous sluggers to a world of delicate footwork, speed, strategy and psychology.
At the peak of his career, Ali's anti-war stance cost him five of his best years as an athlete, but ensured that he would leave an imprint upon the country.
Whenever I find myself worrying about where America is headed, I try to remember the thousands of points of inspiration that we all have to turn to in difficult moments. And to remember what those people endured.
The architects of our future won't be the cowards who leave explosives on crowded sidewalks but the many people who work every day for the next breakthrough that will lift us all up, open holes in the false ceilings above us and bring more sunlight into our lives.

The Amanda is a long and lean oxford. If you find yourself to have a narrow foot, then then this shoe will be perfect; otherwise, consider going up half of a size!
Just like pigtails and motorcycles, John brings you The Amanda - a zooming wingtip shoe with a swing toe last, and an almond toe shape. Built on tunite soles with durable Bottero suedes, The Amanda is perfect for finding a beautiful place to get lost in, while riding your vintage '76 Honda CB-500 Twin. A thankful person is a happy person.

A great shoe for a teacher
Good looking and comfortable.
Great Narrow-fitting Shoe! :-)
Found in Europe
About the size: I am typically 36 EU but based on the reviews I bought size 7. I am glad I did as this model is a narrow one. However, after few hours wearing them at home they are perfect fit and feel like gloves. Comfortably constructed and so beautiful! Be aware that the colors are a slightly different from the photos. I have the black and white combination, but it seems more like dark and light grey. I do not mind though, in fact it is more intriguing. Oh, and as recommend by other customers I too will use some colored shoe laces (maybe pink?).
True Love.
They look great with shorts (which is tough to do for an oxford), capris, jeans and pants; they easily make a casual outfit just a bit more attractive and unusual. It's a very classic style with a funky twist. I love them so much I am considering the Heidi boots too.
The pictures make them look like they have a very cute and girlish round toe but it is very very almond-like in shape, and in this manner they have man's shoe written all over them.
They don't look like a woman's shoe at all, and the shoes here:
...are far, far, far more like what these shoes really look like, which is in no way what i wanted :'(
As well they hurt like murder on my heels and it could be ages before I can wear them again if i even end up trying.
so very sad, I waited in desperate anticipation for over 6 devastatingly long weeks for these to arrive from overseas and they're in no way what i was expecting.
First fluevog letdown, ever.
ooo aaaah yummm
Size-wize my 81/2 Simons are roomier (they have a box toe though compared to Amanda). I like to wear insoles and the 81/2 Amanda is way more fitted so prob no insoles - or I send them back and size up to a 9...
These will be great w/my black jeans, yum. Thanks & Love
Magnifiques !
I just fell in love with few models, but luggage alllowance wise, I had to make a very hard choice and I picked those in pink, navy and light grey.
My wide feet fit in like magic, and I could walk hours without pain from the very first day.
I always get compliments about those shoes from Paris to Tel-Aviv, and I am waiting for "fall colours" to get a new pair . Just can't wait !
Please, come to France, you will rock the place !
My perfect work shoes.
I never gave these much of a look when browsing the Fluevog site, but when my gaze fell onto the gray/black pair in the store, I knew they'd be coming home with me. They're just so stylish and cool, they work great for work. They've got just enough of an edge, visually, despite being black and grey.
They're definitely taking me some time to break in and stretch out, though. And they run SMALL. I normally wear 9.5/10 and I got these in 10.5 -- and they still need to stretch decently for my feet. The narrower toebox is definitely odd for me, as a wide-footed person who's used to Fluevogs always more than accommodating my giant freak-feet.
But they're still a wickedly delightful pair of comfy flats, after a little walking-around time.
More more more
2 Out of 3
They go with everything!
Black and tan Amandas!
To anyone who might be on the fence about buying these shoes: don't be. The first day I wore them, I was on my feet for ten hours. At the end of it I had no blisters at all, and I'd received a ludicrous (in a good way!) number of shoe-related compliments.
They fit, they really really fit!
New Favorite Shoes!!!
saddle shoes revisited
New Store, New Vogs
Thanks for coming to Portland.
So Cute!
Lovely Wingtip
Love at first sight.
...And when I get my tax refund check in a couple of weeks, I plan to order a pair of the Alli boots as well.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 15, 2009) - The ETSU men's soccer team will look to get its first conference win of the season as the Bucs host Florida Gulf Coast Friday at 4 p.m. at Summers-Taylor Soccer Stadium.
The Bucs (1-6-3, 0-2-1 A-Sun) dropped two heartbreakers last weekend as they fell 1-0 in double overtime at Mercer, and dropped a hard fought 4-3 match to Campbell. Sophomore Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) and junior Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) are tied for the team lead in goals with two apiece.
ETSU lost its only match against the Eagles a year ago suffering a 3-0 defeat on the road.
FGCU (5-5-1, 3-1-0 A-Sun) comes into the match having won its last two conference matches against Belmont 4-0 and Lipscomb 2-1. The Eagles are led by Cristian Raudales as he has five goals, an assist and 11 points on the season.
Friday is Buc Wild Day at men's soccer as all active 2009-10 Buc Wild members will receive free pizza from CiCi's and have a chance to earn double points. There will also be a special recognition for select ETSU faculty at halftime of the FGCU match to honor the players' favorite professors.

Smackover's existence is a result of one of the largest and most dramatic oil discoveries in the nation. Its sixty-eight-square-mile oil field led the nation's oil output in the mid 1920s. Prior to the discovery of oil, economy in the area initially relied upon cotton and a successful timber industry due to the vast forests of southern Arkansas.
Smackover is located about two- and- a- half hours from Little Rock. The area was originally settled by French trappers and hunters in the early 1800s. An uncharted wilderness greeted them along the Ouachita River. An expedition led by William Dunbar mapped the area from Monroe to Hot Springs. By 1830, settlers holding land grants had migrated to the area.
There are several stories of how the town got its colorful name. According to Ernie Deane's Arkansas Place Names, "Evidence is strong that Smackover can credit the French for its name. This is despite popular legends that tell of oil blowing "smack over the derrick," or a pioneer settler jumping "smack over" the creek, etc. The source of the name of Smackover Creek, from which the town's name came, appears to have been the French term' Chemin Couvert," meaning covered way. The name Bayou de Chemin Couvert appears in a letter, dated April 5, 1789, written by the commandant of Fort Miro (present-day Monroe, La.) to Gov. Estevan Miro, the French governor of the territory. An 1804 map of the Ouachita River, by an American, shows Deep Creek Chemin Couvert. The "covered way" likely was a trail through the forested wilderness, overhung by limbs of trees. There is also speculation that the name might have originated in the French "sumac couvert," meaning a covering of sumac.
A farming based economy led by cotton production was prevalent until after the Civil War. Though only one major battle was fought in the area, the war caused extreme difficulties for the town and taxation added to this. The town would soon experience an economic boost that would completely alter the destiny of the city. In 1922 a well owned by Sidney Umsted, who operated a saw-mill and logging company in town, hit oil and the discovery of one of America's largest oil reserves was unleashed. Within six months the quiet little town with a population of around 100 grew to a seam-splitting 25,000 and boom-town status. Its uncommon name would quickly attain national acclaim and thousands of drill bits discovered oil with a 95% success rate from 1922 -25.
Smackover was officially incorporated on November 3, 1922. The exact number of people living in town is unknown since the city was a very transit community with people moving in and out on a regular basis. Dangerous work in the oil fields meant jobs were often filled by rowdy inpiduals. Lawlessness was rampant but when it occurred, the sheriff would often hold court on the spot and swift justice always prevailed. The oil boom of the 1920s was relatively short-lived as millions of barrels of oil were wasted because of over-drilling, spectacular fires and inefficient extraction, storage and transportation methods. By the early 1930s, the Smackover oil field's production had declined dramatically, and the petroleum industry's attention turned to new discoveries in Texas and Oklahoma. The 1923 population of 25,000 decreased to 2500. The town's economic outlook improved during World War II, when new oil discoveries fueled the area's four refineries. The war effort created a huge demand for petroleum, and the oil field was the focus of renewed exploration and drilling.
Although the Smackover field is still going strong today, it has none of the vigor that was so prevalent in the 1920s. Today the petroleum industry still plays an important role in the town's economy with half of its population depending upon the oil industry. The city, which has a population of around 2,000, has experienced numerous improvements through the years, but its main street appears much as it did in the boom days. The area is well known to outdoor enthusiasts for its fishing, hunting, and boating opportunities. The city hosts an annual four day Oil Town Festival in June. Interesting locals include the late Rhena Salome Miller Meyers, better known as the "Goat Woman," an ex-Barnum and Bailey circus performer. Meyers' circus carriage is featured in an exhibit gallery at the Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources State Park. The museum, which has won numerous awards for its exhibits and interpretive programs, is located on Ark. 7 two miles south of Smackover and about 10 miles north of El Dorado.
