Book Report: Not a waste to read poet's letters
Twenty years ago, when I was made book review editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, I wrote a column in which I described to my readers what kind of books and authors I liked and didn't care for, so they would know my prejudices from the get-go.
In one paragraph, I mentioned that I was a fan of T.S. Eliot's poetry.
My boss, the managing editor, a New York City transplant, called me in. He said — and I swear this is true — "Dave, I know who T.S. Eliot is and you know who T.S. is, but do you think any of our readers OUT HERE know him?"
I was happy to describe thusly: "Sir, in 1957, Eliot came to the University of Minnesota to deliver a speech of literary criticism at the field house. My English teacher at Eau Claire State hired a school bus, packed us all in and we went to hear that speech. We sat with 12,000 other interested listeners from OUT HERE."
Boy, that was fun!This anecdote is a good one to introduce a new book just out from Yale University Press, "The Letters of T.S. Eliot, Volume 4," ($50), edited by Eliot's second wife Valerie, who died last year and British scholar John Haffenden.
As a Luddite and the last writer of letters on paper in the known universe, I'm abashed to report that as a letter writer, I'm a piker compared to T.S. Eliot.
The sub-title of the book is "1928-1929." This fourth volume, gentle reader, is 825 pages long.
What's even more remarkable is that the letters are mostly connected to his work not as a poet, but as a publishing employee of Faber and Faber and the editor of Criterion, a literary journal which he was trying to get off the ground.
It also deals with the mental illness of his wife Vivien and her trials.
These are not letters to Ezra Pound about the nature of poetry, but letters to freelance writers, telling them that he can pay them $200 for second rights to this or that article he wants to publish.
Actually he did write to Pound on Sept.22, 1928:
"Dear EP,
Here's a proof of my bloody oration (an introduction to Ezra Pound's "Selected Poems"). As it is for you please make any objections you like, only make 'em at once.
P.S. Exclnt copy of XVI Cantos received. I like them better than ever."
At first I figured such stuff would be tough going. On the contrary. I kept reading them like eating popcorn, even when it's underseasoned. I couldn't stop. It made T.S. Eliot seem almost human!
On the local scene there's "The Troll With No Heart in His Body and Other Tales of Trolls from Norway," retold by Lise Lunge-Larsen, woodcuts by Betsy Bowen (University of Minnesota Press, $19.95 cloth).
I normally don't review books by people I know without admitting that I know them. Lise Lunge-Larsen is one such writer.
She was a Norwegian exchange student at Augsburg College when I taught there. Like most Norwegian exchange students, she was way ahead of the American kids who sat next to her in class.
She's still right up there in my estimation, with seven children's books under her belt and a raft of awards for books like "Race of the Birkebeiner."
"The Troll" will be no exception.
It's a beautifully produced work with haunting woodcuts by Bowen. Lunge-Larsen lives in Duluth, Minn., and Bowen in Grand Marais, Minn.
There must be something in the water up there, enabling these two to turn out such charming, and haunting, books.

YORK, Pa. – The York College women's swimming team celebrated senior day Saturday afternoon at the Grumbacher Sport & Fitness Center, but fell to visiting Ursinus 143-114. In their first competitive action since early December, the Green and White, who are now 5-7, put on an admirable performance as they are in the midst of their grueling winter training period.
Prior to the meet, the Spartans honored seniors Alison Beverly, Lisa King, Maureen Loughman, and Colleen Walker.
The Spartans picked up a pair of individual triumphs Saturday as Michaela Guild and Anna Schuster notched victories. Guild, who is having a tremendous season in her junior year, won the 500 freestyle in a time of 5:37.34. Schuster, a Spartan rookie, snagged the win in the 100 butterfly with a 1:04.65.
York would also tally seven second-place individual finishes on the day. Guild took the runner-up spot in the 200 free (2:04.53) while Schuster notched a second-place time of her own with a 26.82 in the 50 free.
Freshman Kelsie Pike finished second in two races with a 1:15.27 in the 100 breaststroke and a 2:41.23 in the 200 breaststroke.
Kathy Murphy posted a 1:05.83 in the 100 backstroke while sophomore Chelsea Ross notched her second place time in the 100 freestyle with a 59.04.
Beverly took second in the 200 fly with a 2:28.42.
Both of York's relay squads, the 200 medley and the 200 freestyle, posted second place times. Murphy, Pike, Amanda Silcox, and Schuster combined for a 2:02.68 in the 200 medley while Kate Estes, Schuster, Guild, and Ross posted a 1:48.30.
The Spartans also recorded seven third-place times. Murphy notched a 2:23.68 in the 200 back while Ross timed a 26.98 in the 50 free. Rookie Jenny Hinkle posted an 11:50.83 in the 1,000 free while King's 2:31.90 in the 200 butterfly was good for third. Guild, Estes, and Beverly each took third in the 200 IM, 100 free, and 100 butterfly, respectively.
York returns to action on Friday, January 21, when they host Millersville in the 6:00 pm meet at the Grumbacher.

Team Looks to Follow up on Impressive Showing in Opener at BC
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – In the season opener last Saturday, the Yale women's ice hockey team came within 15 minutes of a major upset. The Bulldogs held a 2-1 lead at No. 2 Boston College until a power-play goal at 5:22 of the third enabled the Eagles to tie the game, and BC went on to win 4-3 on a goal with 4:05 left in regulation. This Saturday, the Bulldogs head back to Boston -- this time to take on Boston University, a team that advanced to the NCAA Championship game last year. The Terriers are among the teams also receiving votes in the national polls.
The season opener at BC showcased an impressive freshman class for Yale (0-1-0, 0-0-0 ECAC Hockey), as newcomers accounted for a pair of goals and an assist. Freshman forward Phoebe Staenz (Zurich, Switzerland) gave Yale a 3-2 lead with a short-handed goal at 18:41 of the second. BC eventually rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the third, but freshman forward Krista Yip-Chuck (Whitby, Ont.) tied the game at 10:26 -- assisted by Staenz and sophomore forward Janelle Ferrara (Winthrop, Mass.). Yale's other goal came from sophomore forward Jamie Haddad (Wilbraham, Mass.), Yale's leader in goals last season. All told, sophomores and freshmen totaled seven of the team's eight points in the game.
Junior goaltender Jaimie Leonoff (Montreal, Que.) made 43 saves against the Eagles, including 20 in the first period. That was the 10th time in her career she has made 40 or more saves in a game.
Yale is 1-1-0 all-time against BU, having beaten the Terriers 4-1 at Ingalls Rink in November of 2008 and fallen by the same score in January of 2010 in Boston.
BU (2-1-1, 0-0-0 Hockey East) opened its season on the road against a pair of ECAC Hockey teams, tying Rensselaer 2-2 in overtime and then beating Union 3-2 in overtime. The Terriers then split a pair of games at Robert Morris.
Forward Rebecca Russo leads BU in goals and is tied for the team lead in points (3-1-4). Two of her goals have come on the power play. Kerrin Sperry has played most of the minutes in goal, posting a .941 save percentage and a 1.92 goals-against average.
The Terriers are coming off a 2012-13 season in which they went 28-6-3 en route to winning the Hockey East championships (regular season and tournament) and advancing to the NCAA Championship game. They lost 6-3 to Minnesota for the NCAA title. Yale will host the No. 1-ranked Gophers for two games at Ingalls Rink Nov. 23-24.

I started a spreadsheet tallying the quality of pets I battled in the wild. After battling 585 pets, here are the findings.
48.72% of all pets were POOR QUALITY (gray)
23.42% of all pets were COMMON QUALITY (white)
23.59% of all pets were UNCOMMON QUALITY (green)
4.27% of all pets were RARE QUALITY (blue)
It appears blizzard has set the numbers at 48/24/24/4% for poor, common, uncommon, and rare, respectively. However, I won't know with 99% confidence +/- 1% for another ~16,000 or so wild pets battled Still, this is a pretty accurate indication of what you'll find when you're searching for rare wilds.
Assuming 48/24/24/4% are the correct numbers, here are a few statistics for the pet collector:
- 1 in 25 of all wild pets are rare
- If you are looking for a specific rare pet, you will encounter 17 lower quality versions of that pet before it is more than likely (>50%) that you will have found the rare version. Note: this is not a guarantee. "More than likely" means that, statistically, just over half of the people searching for a specific rare pet will find it after they encounter 17 lower quality versions of that pet. Some will find it in far fewer encounters, some far more.
- 12 in 25 of all wild pets are either common or uncommon
- 25% of people searching for a specific wild rare will have to endure finding 34 lower quality versions of the pet they're after before a rare appears, and 10% will find 57 lower quality versions
- If you intend on collecting all 259 wild pets in rare form only, you're looking at encountering 6,475 different wild pets on average to catch them all
Now, for the nuts and bolts. If you're not interested in specifics, feel free to tune out at this point.
Data was collected from wild pets in WotLK and Cataclysm zones only. Every encounter was against a group of 3 wild pets. It is assumed that no pet has a higher likelihood of being found in rare form than any other, and no zone produces more rare pets than any other. Some pets, mostly pets with lengthy or specific spawn timers, occur only once per battle, such as the Scourged Whelpling. That means it is less likely to find one rare in the wild than, say, a Rabbit, because the rabbit can occur 2 or 3 times in the same battle. Updates will be provided as I collect more information. Suggestions/corrections/complaints are welcome.

Kobe gets a triple-double, leads Lakers past Mavs 101-81 in key game for playoff race
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
LOS ANGELES – Kobe Bryant had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in his 19th career triple-double, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Dallas Mavericks 101-81 Tuesday night in a key game for the two teams struggling to get into the Western Conference playoff picture.
Dwight Howard had 24 points and 12 rebounds while hitting seven fourth-quarter free throws for the Lakers (39-36), who had lost four of six before jumping to a big early lead on Dallas and hanging on to it throughout the second half.
With former coach Phil Jackson in attendance for Shaquille O'Neal's jersey retirement, Bryant put on a virtuoso performance while playing more than 47 minutes.
With the win, Los Angeles moved back into an eighth-place tie in the West with the Utah Jazz (39-36), who hold the tiebreaker edge on the Lakers.

New York: Breast cancer patients who take antioxidants may have an increased or decreased risk of death or recurrent cancer, depending on which vitamin they use, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that among nearly 2,300 women with early-stage breast cancer, those who regularly used either vitamins C or E had a lower risk of cancer recurrence over five years than those who didn`t use the vitamins.
On the other hand, women who regularly took a mix of carotenoids had a higher risk of dying from breast cancer, or any other cause, than women who did not take them.
Carotenoids include nutrients like vitamin A, beta-carotene and lutein.
The findings, reported in the journal Cancer, do not prove that any of the antioxidants are the reason for the effects seen.
But they do add to concerns about the risks of high doses of carotenoids, according to lead researcher Heather Greenlee, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University in New York.
"In my opinion," she told Reuters Health in an email, "our paper adds to the growing body of literature suggesting that dietary supplements containing high doses carotenoids may be harmful, and people should think twice before taking them."
Studies have found, for example, that giving beta-carotene supplements to smokers may actually raise their risk of lung cancer.
As for other antioxidants, Greenlee noted that the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research say that there`s not enough evidence to recommend any dietary supplement for preventing cancer, or a cancer recurrence.
There is also concern about patients taking high doses of any antioxidant while on chemotherapy or radiation.
Antioxidants protect body cells from so-called oxidative damage. Cancer drugs and radiation work in part by creating oxidative damage. So in theory, high-dose antioxidants could diminish the treatments` effectiveness.
Still, studies show that women with breast cancer commonly use antioxidant supplements of some kind.
The current findings are based on questionnaires and case data from 2,264 U.S. women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
Overall, 81 percent said they`d used at least one supplement containing antioxidants -- either within multivitamins or in the form of single-vitamin supplements -- in the two years after being diagnosed.
Over the next five years, the study found, women who`d reported using single supplements of either vitamin C or vitamin E six to seven days a week had a lower risk of cancer recurrence.
Of 540 women who took vitamin C, 15 percent had a breast cancer recurrence. That compared with 19 percent of the 1,072 women who did not use vitamin C supplements.
The differences were about the same when the researchers looked at vitamin E.
On the other hand, women who used any combination of carotenoids had a higher risk of dying from breast cancer, or from any cause. Of 89 women who used carotenoids six to seven days per week, 18 percent died of breast cancer; that compared with just under seven percent of women who did not use carotenoid combinations.
According to Greenlee, much of the benefit associated with vitamins C and E could potentially be explained by a "healthy user bias" -- that is, women who use dietary supplements tend to have healthier habits in general.
And that, she and her colleagues write, makes the increased risk of death linked to carotenoid use "even more striking."
The reasons for the different breast cancer outcomes linked to different antioxidants are not known, and the findings need to be confirmed in further studies, Greenlee said.
The most important point this study raises, she added, is that "antioxidant dietary supplements should not be assumed to all act in a similar fashion, as is a common perception in the general public."
"They are made up of different molecules," Greenlee said, "and likely have different effects."
On the other hand, the researchers found no evidence that breast cancer recurrence or deaths were linked to antioxidants taken within multivitamins -- which generally have more moderate doses of individual nutrients.

Al Qaeda-linked militants executed men accused of assisting the United States. A Yemeni security official reported that the executions occurred in Azzan in Shabwah governorate and in Jaar in Abyan governorate. Residents reported that two Saudis and a Yemeni were beheaded at dawn; a spokesman for the militants denied that any were Saudi citizens. The three were accused of planting electronic devices that sent information on militant positions. Ansar al Sharia, an insurgent al Qaeda-linked organization, seized control of Jaar in March 2011 and al Qaeda militants operate openly in Azzan.
Violence has broken out at election protests. In Aden, a group of southern separatists set fire to an anti-government protest camp in Crater district late Saturday. Many protesters see the February 21 presidential election as a mechanism of formally removing President Ali Abdullah Saleh from power. The Southern Movement remains factionalized, and three separate factions denounced the violence. Two people were killed at a Southern Movement march protesting the election in Dhaleh Thursday. The sole candidate for the election, Vice President Abdul Rab Mansour al Hadi, announced that he will pursue reconciliation with the separatists and the al Houthis, who have also called for election boycotts.
A ceasefire agreement between al Houthis and Sunni tribesmen in Hajjah failed to end the violence. Local sources reported that at least 30 people had been killed in fighting in Ahm and Kushar districts in Hajjah governorate. The ceasefire was agreed upon Thursday. Wednesday, at least 10 people had been killed in Hajjah, according to the Yemeni defense ministry.
Local government and security officials are the targets of assassination attempts. Saturday, a military intelligence chief in al Bayda governorate was shot dead. Security officials believe the gunmen were linked to al Qaeda. Thursday, the head of the criminal investigations department in Hawta in Lahij governorate was gunned down on his way home from work.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Mechanisms of activation and inhibition of receptor tyrosine kinases; molecular mechanisms regulating cellular signaling and trafficking
Key words: growth factor receptor, cellular signaling, protein-protein interactions, lipid binding proteins, structural biology, X-ray crystallography
Description of Research
We are interested in understanding molecular mechanisms that regulate receptor signaling at and across membranes. We continue our long-standing interest in the regulation of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), and also expand our study to several other families of RTKs. Rekindling an early interest in pleckstrin homology domains, we are also investigating the role of lipid binding modules in several settings. To address these questions we use a combination of biophysical, structural, biochemical and cellular approaches.
(i) Activation and inhibition of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)
EGFR is an important and clinically validated cancer target. Despite many years of study, there remain significant questions about the mechanism of activation of EGFR, and its dysregulation in cancer. Using X-ray crystallography as a primary tool, we have elucidated the mechanisms of action of several clinically relevant EGFR antibodies, including cetuximab and necitumumab. We have also shown that nanobodies or VHH domains, the smallest natural antigen-binding modules (from heavy chain only camelid antibodies), can inhibit EGFR either by mimicking existing antibodies or through unique mechanisms - emphasizing the power of nanobodies as possible 'designer inhibitors' and as tools for asking mechanistic questions about their binding targets. Current efforts in this area focus on the use of antibodies and nanobodies to understand oncogenically activated EGFR.
A subset of the oncogenically activated EGFR mutations that have been identified from patient samples lie in the extracellular region of the receptor. We currently have no molecular understanding of how these mutations activate of the receptor. To address this we are investigating, in collaboration with Mark Lemmon, how the extracellular and intracellular regions of EGFR are coupled.
(ii) RTKs with membrane proximal FNIII domains.
Mounting data indicate far more mechanistic diversity across the RTK superfamily than previously thought, and we are also interested in several other families of RTKs. In one project, we are analyzing the roles of membrane-proximal fibronectin type III (FNIII) domains (found in 23/58 RTKs, including Tie2). In collaboration with Mark Lemmon, we are trying to understand the relationship between oligomerization of Tie receptors and receptor activation state.

If you love shopping with the click of a mouse, be advised: Online sales tax is nigh. ABC News reports that shoppers could pay at least 5 percent more than they do today:
Republicans in Congress have joined Democrats to support a bill that would give states authority to force Amazon, eBay, and other online companies to collect sales taxes.
Online shoppers are used to getting great deals on the internet, and somehow, even with shipping and handling, the ease and convenience of purchasing pajamas in the middle of the night while in your pajamas remains very attractive.
Some companies are wondering whether an online sales tax would change buying behavior, but Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru believes that only a small minority of consumers would go back to buying in stores if the sales tax changed.
That may be true, but what's really frustrating is that for certain categories (plus size clothing comes to mind, but surely there are others) online is the only avenue. Retailers like Old Navy and Ann Taylor only carry their "extended" sizes online. Not in stores. For shoppers who don't have an option to head to the brick-and-mortar store, the tax could feel like a fine.

Officials in France have launched an investigation to determine whether the publication of topless photographs of British royal Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge constitutes a criminal offense.
Representatives for Prince William and his wife lodged a formal complaint with French prosecutors in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre on Monday, three days after a series of controversial images were featured in the country's Closer magazine.
If authorities conclude a crime has been committed, the editor and the snapper who took the photos could face up to a year in prison and a $57,600 fine.
In a statement on Monday, a spokesman for the couple says, "We can confirm that a criminal complaint has been made to the French Prosecution Department today. The complaint concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy."
The images were captured from a public road overlooking a luxury villa in Provence, France where the royal couple was staying earlier this month prior to an official visit to Southeast Asia.
Prince William and his wife have already launched a civil lawsuit in a French court for breach of privacy.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - John Calipari cautioned the Kentucky faithful that he was not the "grand poobah" or "emperor" - even if his eight-year, $31.65 million contract as the Wildcats' new coach pays him like one.
Before his introductory news conference Wednesday, Kentucky's athletics board approved the contract that will make Calipari the highest paid coach in the nation. Athletic director Mitch Barnhart defended the salary, saying that the university paid a premium price to lure Calipari away Memphis because he can flat out coach.
"I'm a regular guy, folks," Calipari said. "I do not walk on water; I do not have a magic wand."
He might need to find one. Kentucky fired Billy Gillispie on Friday after two seasons and he went 40-27, including losing 14 games this season and failing to lead the Wildcats into the NCAA tournament.
"The challenge of being here is (not) competing for national titles, but winning them," Calipari said. "But that's what you buy into when you come here."
And Kentucky has demonstrated its willingness to pay whatever it takes to back to that level.
"We're the pre-eminent basketball program in the country and if we want a premier coach then that may be what it takes to get it done," Barnhart said.
Calipari's decision to take the job didn't come easy. He spent more than a day mulling Kentucky's lucrative offer while reporters camped outside his home.
He told his Memphis players he was leaving during a meeting on Tuesday evening before hopping a plane to Lexington. The university received a faxed copy of the 20-page contract around 9 p.m. just before Calipari arrived in his new home.
"This decision was extremely hard," Calipari said. "It wasn't coming here, this was easy. It was leaving Memphis. The support that my family and I received over the years there ... to walk away from that was very difficult."
Calipari had such strong ties to Memphis that after his UK introduction, he was expected to fly back there for an afternoon news conference outside his home. Memphis officials planned a separate news conference to discuss the future of the program.
It's a future Calipari said should include the highly touted recruits who have already committed to play for the Tigers next year.
"What I would hope is all the players that signed at Memphis will go to Memphis," Calipari said. "That's my hope."
Besides, he thinks he should have his pick of the nation's top players at Kentucky. His first recruiting pitch may be to Kentucky stars Patrick Patterson and Jodie Meeks. Both were weighing whether to head to the NBA. Having one of the nation's most successful coaches could help them change their mind.
Calipari, 50, knows what he is getting into at Kentucky. He said before he made his decision, he reached out to several former Wildcats coaches.
"I talked to coach (Joe B.) Hall. I talked to Tubby Smith. I talked to Eddie Sutton. And I talked to Rick Pitino about this job. And ... none of those coaches would trade their time here for anything in the world.
"This is pretty heady stuff for me."
The numbers are dizzying, even if he said it wasn't about the money.
Calipari will be paid $3.3 million next season with a small raise to $3.4 million 2010-2014. He'll receive $2,850,000 a year from 2015-2017.
The contract is guaranteed, though the athletic department will pay just $400,000 a season. The rest of Calipari's salary will come from multi-media rights contract, said Barnhart.
"If done correctly, the investment in a coach will pay for itself and yield returns for the overall program in general," Barnhart said.
Calipari is 445-140 in 17 seasons, leading both Memphis and Massachusetts to the Final Four. He said he has long dreamed of coaching college basketball's winningest program.
"This was a dream I've had since we brought our team down here," Calipari said. "I believe it was 1992, we had won the Alaskan Shootout, came down here to play and I could not believe the environment. At that point I said - 'I would love to coach there someday.'"
That day has come and he has Calipari has work to do. The Wildcats have not been in the Final Four the past 11 seasons. And Calipari cautioned Kentucky's fan base not to expect too much too soon, as he had informed Barnhart and university president Lee Todd.
"I told Dr. Todd and Mitch, if you want something to happen in a year, do not hire me," Calipari said. "That's now how I do things."
Barnhart said after firing Gillispie that he wanted to hire a coach who embraced what the Kentucky job meant, on and off the court. Calipari sounded like he understood what they meant.
"Our goals will be to make the entire commonwealth proud of this team, proud of their program, proud of their team by our work on the court and our integrity off the court," he said.
Calipari's deal eclipses the $3.5 million average salary of Florida's Billy Donovan and dwarfs those of Calipari's predecessors Pitino, Smith and Gillispie.
Pitino, now the coach at rival Louisville, never made more than $2 million a season during his remarkably successful eight-year run at Kentucky. Smith's compensation neared $2.1 million at the end of his decade with the program and Gillispie received a base salary of $2.3 million with another $750,000 available in incentives.
The salary more than doubles the $1.6 million salary of Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks, a rarity in a conference where football reigns.
Calipari has a reputation as one of the nation's best recruiters, and it's possible some of his latest recruits will follow him to Lexington. Still, the cupboard is hardly bare at Kentucky.
At Kentucky he has the high-profile and rich history he lacked at Memphis and UMass. One look around the seven national championship banners around the school's glistening practice facility offered proof.
"They don't put banners up here for anything else except national champions," he said. "That's why you want to coach here. We want to compete every year and hopefully add to this wall."

MESQUITE (AP) – A North Texas jury has sentenced a 34-year-old former teacher to 15 years in prison for predatory sexual behavior.
The Dallas Morning News reports the Dallas County jury determined Andrew Scott Lott had repeatedly targeted female students. He was convicted of a felony count of improper relationship between educator and student. He was sentenced Wednesday and is eligible for parole in less than four years.
Lott had a sexual relationship with a high school student in Mesquite, just east of Dallas, in 2011. He earlier had made sexual overtures to other students while an educator at Dallas Academy.
He received national attention in 2009 as girls' basketball coach at the academy. His team lost a game 100-0 but was praised for continuing to play in light of the odds.

text: How to tell a counterfeit card from a real one. Fake Pokémon cards were a problem back in 1999 and 2000 but they faded away when the popularity of the game faded. Counterfeiters moved on to other card games that were hot at the time. However, since Pokémon has resurged in popularity, the counterfeiters have also jumped back on the Poké-bandwagon and are pumping out their fake product. And they do a pretty good job at it, too. At first glance, these cards look real. The images are correct. The Pokémon are what they should be. They have the right text, for the most part. But they are not perfect! No, far from it. In fact, if you know what to look for, they are very easy to identify and to avoid. Very easy indeed. Let's take a look at some of the things to look for on a fake card. Now, I could talk a lot about the variance of text font and how some of the fake cards are off in their placement of some graphic elements and text formatting, but none of that is going to be useful to the average kid or parent out in some store without a real card to compare it to. No, we're just going to stick to the things that any person can identify on their own, regardless with how familiar they are with the details of Pokémon cards. I'm also going to focus on the details of the current flood of fakes. They all come from the same source because the share the same flaws. There are some older fakes and might be a few other fakes out there that don't have these flaws, but I'll cover some other general things to look out for at the end. One final note before we begin. There is a huge difference between fake cards that are couterfeits and that are meant to deceive people into buying them instead of real card versus "fake cards" that are made by fans and feature original art and text and are meant to be fun and not to deceive or rip off. Please be aware that we have no problem with such fan cards and even host a forum on our site where members can post their fan creations. Of course, these should never be sold commercially as that would infringe on Pokémon USA's rights and trademarks. Card Backs Real -=- Fake OK, I'm going to go back a bit on what I just said above. A person has to be somewhat familar with the details of a Pokémon card in order to identify a fake from the back, but I find it very useful to be able to do so, as it makes sorting through a large number of cards relatively easy to do. As a Tournament Organizer and Judge, I have to check a lot of cards that are used in tournaments and of course couterfeit cards are not allowed. So, what differences do you see in the two card backs above? The most obvious thing you may notice is the difference in color. One is paler than the other. This is not a key difference to look for, though, for two reasons. One, you probably wouldn't have a real Pokémon card handy to compare with the suspected fake if you're in a retail store. But more importantly, two, there are differences in card backs from one print run to another. While Pokémon USA tries to keep the coloring on card backs as consistent as possible, there is some variation and that makes color variation alone an unreliable method to use to determine a fake. There are two key differences here that you can rely on. First, notice how the blue border on the real card on the left is crisp all the way around. There is almost a line where it meets up with the swirly background image. Note that the counterfeit card's border is not as crisp. It kind of just fades off at the edge. You can especially notice this in the upper left and lower right. Second, look at the light blue patch just to the right of the red top of the Poké Ball. On the real card, there is a fair amount of detail there. On the fake card, it's just a blue blob. I can see that it might be difficult for some to notice these differences. There is a certain amount of judgement that needs to be made for these. So, let's move on the the card front and I'll show you some things to look for that take no judgement whatsoever. Card Fronts - Trainers Fake -=- Real Above and below are examples of a couple of counterfeit Trainer cards beside the real McCoys. At first glance, these are almost impossible to tell apart... until you know what to look for! I could mention the font differences. The Holon Legacy font is just about dead on perfect, but the Poke Ball font is a little bit off and most people that are experienced with the cards will pick up on that difference with little effort. But that is no use to the average person looking at the card. No, there is one mistake on these counterfeit cards that is made on every card produced by these crooks: They don't use the accent mark over the "e" in Pokémon! Take a look! Down below, they say "Each Pokemon in play..." when it should read "Each Pokémon in play..." This is a major flaw that can be used to identify almost every one of these fake cards. Heck, look at the name of the card above. "Poke Ball" instead of "Poké Ball"!! This is something that anyone can use to pick off these fakes. Real -=- Fake Card Fronts - Pokémon Real -=- Fake Look at the artwork on these cards, above and below. Beautiful job, isn't it? Yep, there is no way the average person is going to identify these fakes from the images used on the cards. They did a very good job of getting high quality scans of the card pictures and reproducing them. So, let's look elsewhere on the card for easily identifyable flaws. First off, we still have the "Pokemon" error. That carries over into all card text that should use the word "Pokémon". You can see examples in both the Marshtomp and Larion cards. There is also the font issue, but as noted, that won't help most people. There is one more error that carries over into all the Pokémon cards that these people produce. That is their "bloated" energy symbols. Let me explain what I mean by bloated. On legitimate cards, there are energy symbols in three areas of the Pokémon cards: The upper right, after the Hit Points. This identifies what Type the Pokémon is. The middle left, to the left of the Attack name(s). These tell what the energy cost of the attack are. All along the bottom. These identify what the Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat Costs are. Energy symbols are made up of two elements; their color and their symbol. Legitimate energy symbols have a smallish symbol with a generous border around it, allowing the color to be easily seen. The counterfiet cards, on the other hand, have what I will call bloated symbols that go up to (or almost go up to) the edge of the circle, crowding the space they reside in. This is another easily distinguished error they have made. Real -=- Fake Card Fronts - Holographic Pokémon Real -=- Fake We've covered the main points to look for on most cards, but there is a very obvious error that I want to make sure people are also on the lookout for in the fakes. Take a look at the two cards above. We see the four key identifiers in this card as well: "Pokemon", wrong font, bloated energy symbols, and card back (take my word on that last one). This has one more error so blatent, that it alone flags it as a fake. Note the holographic foil pattern on the card to the left. If you were holding the real card, the background of the image would be shiny and the little star patterns would change and move as you moved the card. That's the holographic foil layer of the card shining through. The pattern on the card on the right, however, will not change or move or shine. That's because there is no holographic foil on the card! The "star" pattern is copied directly from the original card image that they photographed and then they printed that star pattern directly onto the card! Since they didn't have original art to work from, they had to use an actual foil card to copy from and so even though there is no foil on the card, it still shows the foil pattern. If you look at it in real life, there is no question that this card is not foil. Foil Cards They do make some actual foil counterfeit cards. They just don't use the right foil. If you see a gold border, that's a fake (Unless it's a Meowth from the Jungle set! That was a real promo card with a gold border). Also note that the card is a bit tilted. You will find that on a lot of the fake cards. But not always. It is one more thing to keep an eye out for, though. Sealed Boxes You can tell if a sealed box is real or fake. A real box of Pokémon cards will have the while Pokéball image and Pokémon logo shown in the circled area in the image above. If you don't see that on the front half of the shrink wrap, don't buy the box. Summary - What to look for Look for these tip offs and you can avoid being ripped off: "Pokemon" instead of "Pokémon" Card back - fades off and blob to center right Text font "off", but not always! Bloated energy symbols Holo pattern on non-holo card I hope that these tip-offs help keep you from getting ripped off. If you do come across counterfeit cards, you can inform Pokemon USA via the following method: Contact email@example.com with the following information: Card owner's name (or parent's name) and contact information Name and address of the store where the card was purchased Approximate date of purchase Scan of the card in question Scan of the packaging (if still available) Please make sure that it is clearly indicated in the email that you believe the card to be counterfeit. PUI will not replace counterfeit cards with official cards. If you contact them via email, they may request that you send the card in question to them to use as part of the investigation. If a card is mailed to them and it is legitimate, it will be returned. Counterfeit cards that are mailed to Pokemon USA will not be returned.

Quiche aux Fine Herbs (waxing poetic)
Of course, there are ramifications, jolting bursts of reality that shake your sun-addled brain awake. Before you know it, you've ignored your garden for two weeks and there are terrifying new weeds and enormous heads of neglected lettuce taking over. You haven't been to the grocery store in ages, and now you aren't sure what kind of dinner you can cobble together. You are suddenly conscious of your laziness and feel the need to take on a project. You bake bread, making rolls, hamburger buns, a mock baguette. But still the threat of dinner looms. You decide to take on your herb garden and are immediately presented with an answer: quiche.
The recipe varies a bit from my classic mushroom quiche, but of course the idea remains the same. Weed your herb garden, trimming back the fragrant plants, and put those trimmings to good use at dinner. If you have eggs, cream, and a few cheeses, you are already halfway to a simple dinner, made to be enjoyed while cool breezes blow through your tranquil, if only for a moment, home.
Quiche aux Fine Herbs
serves 4-6 (the leftovers are lovely)
1 pie crust, homemade or store bought
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
pat butter
olive oil
3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
.5 cup cream
.5 cup 1% milk
1.5 cups of shredded cheese (I used a mixture of Parmesan, Gruyere, and chevre)
small pinch freshly ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp finely minced fresh herbs (I used flat leaf parsley, rosemary, thyme, lovage, and chives)
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prick the bottom of your pie crust several times with a fork, and then bake until dry, but not brown (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Place the butter and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent and beginning to turn golden brown around the edges. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and eggs until very well combined. Add a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper and nutmeg. Lastly, whisk in your herbs. Sprinkle half of your cheese mix over the bottom of your cooled pie crust. Spread the cooked onions over the cheese evenly, then top with the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, until the surface is a nice golden brown. Remove and let cool for at least 10 minutes (I actually pulled this out of the oven 1 hour before I planned to serve it, and it was perfect). Serve with a crisp green salad and an icy cold glass of white wine. Enjoy your meal, and let yourself slip back into delicious laziness, because the work can wait until tomorrow.

I love your beautifully manicured toe nails! It isn't sandal-wearing-season in the Bay Area yet, (there are only two weeks in a year for sandals here anyway), but you've motivated me to get a pedicure!

Oh, I love quiche so much!
- amanda said...
oh i do love a good quiche, and this appears to be a great one. i am definately inspired to make some quiche!
- Marianne said...
PE--my toes never look that good, so the moment had to be captured.
Ellie and Amanda--quiche is such a satisfying and easy thing to make. It freezes decently, too, so sometimes I'll make two at once.
- Tyler said...
Amanda, I'm so glad you're inspired to make some quiche!!!!
I loved the feet in the grass picture! so heart-warming. I love the summer and everything that signifies its arrival.
- Marianne said...
Tyler, I am such a summer girl. Even the brief, relatively mild winter we have here is nearly too much for me, although it does make me appreciate the longer days and warmer temperatures of late spring.
I feel the need to say that is my father's lovely lawn under my feet. Our "grass" is more of a combination of clover, violets, and moss.

The civil war in Syria is heading in the wrong direction. In the last year, rebels had won control of big slices of territory, including much of the country's largest city, Aleppo. But those gains prompted a surge of military aid to Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime: urban guerrillas from Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iraq's Shiite Muslim militias, combat advisors from Iran's Revolutionary Guard and antiaircraft missiles from Russia (to prevent "hotheads" from trying to impose anything like a no-fly zone, an official in Moscow said Monday). As a result, the Assad regime has seized at least a temporary advantage.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, among others, thinks it's time for the U.S. to step up its aid to the rebels. "There's a moment to try to tip the scales, and we believe that moment is now," Menendez said last week, after his committee voted 15 to 3 to authorize military aid in addition to the current "nonlethal" supplies.
But President Obama has doggedly resisted any escalation. He even put the brakes on adding body armor and night-vision goggles to the mix of nonlethal aid.
OP-ED: Military intervention in Syria would only exacerbate the conflict
The debate here isn't over whether the United States should intervene in Syria; it's how much, and how. After all, the United States has already imposed sanctions, given nonlethal aid to the rebels (including intelligence), and made efforts to wrangle moderate opposition groups into a functioning coalition.
Nobody is proposing deploying U.S. troops — except, perhaps, if Assad's chemical weapons might fall into the hands of terrorist groups.
But by the same token, almost nobody's proposing doing nothing. The outcome in Syria matters. A victory by Assad would be a major setback for U.S. diplomacy and a major win for Iran. A victory by the most radical faction of the rebels — Al Nusra Front, Syria's Al Qaeda affiliate — would be a disaster.
OP-ED: Options for action in Syria
So why not take the next step, supplying the rebels with the weapons and ammunition they say they still need? I asked several administration officials, and here's what they said.
First, the Obama administration is tired of being asked to take ownership of every international crisis. If we jump into Syria with military aid and a no-fly zone, officials say, then all the burdens of that effort will be ours. Worse, if the rebels are losing, they and the rest of the world will be all too quick to demand that the United States do more. Far better to let others take the lead, especially on high-visibility jobs like supplying weapons. (In this case, the "others" are mainly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, although Britain and France may soon join in.)
Then there's the pathetically fractured state of Syria's opposition. Last weekend in Istanbul, opposition leaders met to try to expand their quasi-parliament. If they could bring more moderates into the fold, elect a president and begin functioning like a government in exile, Western countries could increase all forms of aid more quickly. But the rebel politicos couldn't manage it. The Qatar-backed rebels in control of the assembly, including members of the Muslim Brotherhood, balked at giving dozens of seats to moderates supported by Saudi Arabia and the West. Outcome: an embarrassing stalemate.
In Libya, the United States and its allies used military force to help rebels who were unified and occasionally even organized battle a government that was erratic and incompetent. Syria offers the opposite: disorganized, often incompetent rebels — except, alas, for Al Nusra — fighting a government that's both capable and ruthless.
Of course, there's another big reason the Obama administration is reluctant to get more involved in Syria: It would be costly in terms of both money and political capital. Polls show that most Americans don't want anything to do with the Syrian war. Any new military action, even one without boots on the ground, would detract from the goal Obama set out in his reelection campaign: nation-building at home.
That's why, almost two years after his idealistic declaration that the United States stood on the side of the rebels, Obama's policy is more cautious now.
The aim isn't to help the rebels win soon; that's beyond our capabilities. Instead, it's to keep the war within manageable bounds.
That means helping the opposition get organized and funneling military aid from other donors to the moderate Brig. Gen. Salim Idriss instead of Al Nusra. And it means cajoling Russia to help organize peace talks in Geneva between the government and the rebels, even though nobody really expects talks to succeed when the government and its allies think they're winning.
With luck, officials say, the rebels will slowly grow stronger, the government weaker. But win or lose, it won't be pretty. "It's going to be a long haul," one senior official warned me. A U.S. commitment that began in the romantic dawn of the Arab Spring has turned, instead, into an exercise in painful realism.

James Blake - 2013
What do you think this new track will sound like? https://twitter.com/zanelowe/status/299467130712252417
I'm guessing Four Tet meets Fleet Foxes.
Roman Patiance
Is the only new one I've heard on the Hessle Audio show for a while. Could be that, but if its some kind of Zane Low premier then its gonna be his indie stuff innit or we would have already heard it.
Really hope he does push something like this..
or the darker bits that were on his Essential Mix
probably going to be crappy stuff if it's a Lowe show though.
I forgot the essential mix
yeah there was loads of new stuff in that. Fact reckon its a track called 'Retrograde' so maybe its a Bloc Party cover haha.
- Jordan_229_2 this'd this
press release (does not feature the words game or changer)
- New Single 'Retrograde' – available Feb 11th
- Album 'Overgrown' – released April 8th
- ICA show on February 26th
Two years after his debut album took UK bass culture down previously unimagined roads of introspection, James Blake returns with the epic 'Retrograde'. The track is available from next Monday, February 11th.
Combining his heart-piercing songwriter side with a skyscraper of soaring electronics, 'Retrograde' takes the listener surfing on an emotional sine wave, an electronic soul testament that earmarks him out as the successor to the thrones long since vacated by Massive Attack and the Aphex Twin.
Zane Lowe will be premiering 'Retrograde' on his Radio 1 show at 7:30pm tonight. Head over to James' YouTube channel shortly after it's aired to listen back to the track: http://www.youtube.com/user/jamesblakeproduction
Retrograde is the perfect introduction to his second LP 'Overgrown', an incredible album that sees James growing as a singer and songwriter while at the same time returning to the brain melting electronic perfection of his early releases on Hemlock and Hessle, moving way beyond any post-dubstep pigeonholes to include stunning reinterpretations of both hip-hop and house.
James will play at the ICA on February 26th. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday February 8th, available from here: http://jamesblake.seetickets.com/
Took UK bass culture down previously unimagined roads of introspection...
You're making that up, right?
nope. Copy-pasted.
Radiohead meets Everything Everything
maybe with a little bit of My Bloody Valentine
Quite enjoyed the new song.
Even tolerated Lowe's voice for another half hour so I could hear it twice.
Seems to be a lot of Janes Blake hate on here all of a sudden. Everyone was going crazy over him a couple of years back, we're a fickle bunch eh? I prefer CMYK and his Hessle stuff too, but his album was far from bad. There were some fantastic songs on it, just a little too much filler. I for one am excited to see where he goes next.badmanreturns, thetaxidriver, E_H_Gombreak, Kyle_, SCROTUM, that_bald_owl, and kilgore-trout this'd this
This track seems more assured
the song writing is more structured, well the vocals are more structured so it sounds more conventunal and it works here. Just a small step from the album stuff. Not mega excited since I lean mroe towards his other stuff but yeah its proper nice. Indie goons are just scared all the good indie is coming from everywhere but indie ;)
My issue with him (and the XX) was the trend of boring, passionless, sterile music becoming a thing to aspire to.
I've not had a chance to listen to the new thing yet but will try and do so with open ears.furio this'd this
PS don't get me wrong - he's clearly a really, really, really talented guy.
It's just I saw him live a couple of years ago and couldn't believe how joyless the whole thing was. Something about James Blake feels almost something puritanical - it's almost as though he feels there's something sinful and wrong about anyone actually having fun with making music.
Now listened to it and pretty much stick to this^
It's absolutely technically brilliant but earnest as fuck and dull as ditchwater.Body_In_The_Thames this'd this
this is my feeling too
also, he's very much in love with that Prophet '08 preset
not feeling the turtle neck either
SO earnest
despite the sarky comment above I actually quite like his album
prefer it to the earlier EPs, they're pretty directionless bleepy bloopy a lot of the time.
Based on your other thread though
you were aching to hate it anyway
I presume you still see his music as a kind of emperor's new clothes, and his fans only fawn over him because of how "experimental" he is?
4 seconds of dullness
At least you gave it a fair go
this song is pretty much my least favourite thing i can imagine.
just the most sterile sounding thing
I love it, and I love his album.
Very much looking forward to 'Overgrown'.dacbo this'd this
listened to it twice earlier
I can't remember much about it earlier.
That's basically how I feel about the first album tbh
It's nice, but there's not much to get your teeth into. Hopefully with the press release's references to his earlier EPs the second will be a bit meatier
more importantly, since when was James Blake really hot?
someone posted a photo of him on facebook yesterday and i had to leave the room and have a glass of water to cool down.
Official video
This is REALLY good. Proper goosebumps shit when the heavy chords drop in at around 2 minutes.
- kilgore-trout, Vian, wonton, and rainmaker this'd this
Suddenly I'm hit
Is this darkness of the dawn
Is he doing a whole album with Trim? Or was that 12 a one off?
gonna try and catch him djing at plastic people
tried to go once before but it filled up. anyone seen him dj recently? what's he been dropping?
Seen him a couple of times but not particularly recently
isn't a very good dj really
'suddenly I'm hip' - james blake c.2011
actually a big fan of the new song - more in line with the earlier EPs which I love but retaining a lot of the earnestness and emo-ness of the album which for some reason I really connect with. I can see where people are coming from calling him overly earnest and stuff though - guess you like it or you don't really, he's obviously very proficient.
Could his new album actually be pretty decent?
This is good, god damn it...
Course it could
he always been ace and has really honed his craft for the song writing stuff it seems he just gets flack for coming from more trendy areas of music than a lot of indie bands. And his album cover looking like something from fern gully. Which would be cool if he did a remix called Furn Gully Goon Estate.
- badmanreturns this'd this
"There's a fine line between soulful vocals and whining like a creepy baby with a broken voice, and it seems he needs a haircut to see it."
New track
i dont understand how people can even open a webpage
with that image and want to spend more than a second on it without feeling like a dickhead
you've got to block out the images and open another tab
then its still tough but lets be honest a pic of James Blake in Fern Gully is no more embarasing than any other indie bands image of cardigans and that in the woods.
it is hard tho
he's not making it easy for the fans to like is he haha. You've got to admire the confidence to look like such a gimp and an easy target for the haters and not be fussed by making it his album cover.
I heard this chap on the radio this morning.
It sounded rather good.

The print under Plexiglas acrylic glass gives a very nice impression of depth to the photographs. The print was obtained via an Epson SC-20000 plotter, the photo is then glued to a 5mm acrylic plate and a 3mm dibond.
In order to offer easy attachment of the car photography, an aluminum frame is fixed to the back the photo.
The photo paper used is Kodak Pro Endura (250 g/m²), one of the best photo paper manufactured, renowned for its stability and remarkable contrast of colors and luminous highlights. It is designed to withstand optimal conditions up to 100 years in archive.
Plus, Océ Laser LightJet printing also gives the photo extreme precision, which is reflected in both colors and contours. This ultra-modern technique makes it possible to obtain a very fine impression of the halftones without any apparent frame. That way, the colors of the photos seem all the more natural.

TROY – Troy University has been named among the best in the southeastern United States by The Princeton Review.
The designation marks the seventh year in a row TROY has been named to the list that includes only 629 colleges and universities nationwide and 135 colleges and universities in the Southeast. These institutions represent 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
"The most important thing we do at Troy University is serve students," said Dr. Jack Hawkins Jr., the University's chancellor. "The fact that we have earned this ranking for seven straight years is a reflection of this commitment to students."
The inclusion is the result of a survey that asks students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their experiences. Topics include: academics/administration, life at the school, their fellow students, and themselves. Surveys are conducted on campuses and via the Princeton Review website at which students have the option of completing a secure survey online.
According to Princeton Review, TROY was chosen as a "regional best" college due to excellence in academic programs, institutional data collected from TROY, school visits by Princeton Review staff, their opinions and the invited opinions of college counselors and advisers. Princeton Review also uses an 80-question survey of current students. Only those schools that permit the independent survey are eligible. TROY was rated on academics, admissions selectivity, financial aid, fire safety, quality of life and green initiatives.

No matter what your style and taste in non-wedding life, you can never go wrong with classic and traditional on your big day. Neutrals with touches of metallics and a wee bit of sparkle will never go out of style and that's exactly what this couple has created: A gorgeously elegant and timeless day. Frost Photography captured all the pretty details including that outstanding cake bar. See even more right here.
Click here for the FULL wedding!
From the Bride... When Ryan and I envisioned our wedding day, we knew we knew we wanted the setting to be romantic, luxurious and classic. The Waveny House was just that! With its large stone fireplaces, secret doors hidden in the wooden walls and the amazing terracotta terrace with a view that stretches for miles, as soon as we stepped foot into the house, we fell in love. After choosing the perfect setting for our day, the décor followed naturally. Although both very bright in our daily lives, we wanted to keep the wedding décor subtle yet rich in detail. We selected a color palette of ivory, warm taupe and mixed metallics. From the twinkling lanterns strung overhead in the colonnade to sparkling crystal engagement ring table numbers we made, we aimed for all the details to be decadent and tasteful.
The bridesmaids were clad in J.Crew dresses, each unique to their individual style. As a gift, I made each bridesmaid their own pair of metallic, taupe peep toe shoes, and I also selected a pair of gold and smoky crystal chandelier earrings from Kenneth Cole that complemented each of their dresses. The groomsmen, along with Ryan, wore sleek tuxedos with black satin skinny neckties that we purchased from Calvin Klein. I accessorized my fitted, mermaid-style Liancarlo wedding dress with a crystal beaded silk sash, a feather flower hair pin and a pair of lace-up, ivory, crystal-encrusted platforms that I designed especially for my dress.
Instead of having a traditional wedding cake, Ryan and I thought it would be fun to have a cake bar with a pleasing assortment of cakes for our guests to choose from. Each cake from Palmer's Bakery was frosted and covered in edible glitter, as were the white chocolate and sprinkle-covered pretzel favors that the guests took home with them at the end of the evening. For dinner, our caterer, Meiganne Serrano from La Bonne Femme, prepared a delectable menu of entrées made from all organic ingredients. The dinner menus that Ryan designed had the guests' mouths watering well before dinner was served. To add additional warmth to the setting, we stocked the fireplaces with pillar candles of varying heights and lit candles in hurricane vases along the stone walls of the terrace that illuminated the evening sky. Our florist, Sandy Wellons of Topiary, created feminine floral arrangements of oversized roses and exotic flowers in ivory and blush tones that completed the look. Ryan and I were very pleased with how the day came together. Above all, we felt honored to be surrounded by our family and friends who helped us celebrate our union and the beginning of our journey as husband and wife.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at The Theater at Madison Square Garden
Last week Robert Plant was quoted in the Village Voice as saying that America "needs to hear its music." Leave it to a Brit to tell us what we need. Plant's condescension aside, he is right. The former Led Zeppelin singer's recent album and tour with Alison Krauss, which stopped at the Theater at Madison Square Garden last night, prove that he is doing more than just talking the talk. About halfway through the show, Plant, humble and gracious throughout, paid homage to those American musicians who came before, telling the crowd "If it weren't for Chicago and Mississippi, I wouldn't even be here right now."
Plant gets it. All the amazing musicians who shared the stage with him get it. He is right though – more Americans need to get it.
It's hard to claim that popular music today has largely forgotten its roots. How can any music become untied from its history when, consciously or not, it is a product, a direct descendent of that history? Take rap music for example. Where would rap music be without James Brown, Bo Diddley (think "Who do You Love?"), Muddy Waters, and even Elvis and his televised gyrations? But, is rap conscious of its ties to history? Despite heavy use of samples, the answer is largely, no. Popular music across the board has lost its ties to the deep past. This would be okay (after all innovation is a good thing) if it weren't for the fact that American music's original soul, the soul that makes it exceptional in the truest sense of the word, has been largely flushed out as well.

EQUALITY – Work at a southern Illinois mine has been temporarily halted while authorities investigate a machinery accident that killed a 30-year-old employee this weekend.
The accident happened early Saturday at the Willow Lake Mine, which is operated by a subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corp.
The employee, Chad Wayne Meyers of Goreville, became pinned by machinery that he was operating, Peabody spokeswoman Meg Gallagher said in a statement.
Meyers was caught between the machine and the coal rib, said to federal Mine Safety and Health Administration spokeswoman Amy Louviere. Saline County Coroner Jerry Doug Watson said Meyers was pronounced dead at 4:40 a.m. Saturday.
Gallagher said the work at the underground mine has been idled pending an investigation and officials with the state, federal government and union have been contacted.
The Saline County mine, which is located near Equality, about 50 miles east of Carbondale, employs about 460 people.
"Willow Lake deeply mourns the loss of a fellow employee and expresses its sympathies to family members, coworkers, and friends," Gallagher said.
Funeral services for Meyers were pending.
