'The Rite of Spring - Through an Eclectic Spectrum' by Gene Pritsker
The Cutting room
44 E 32nd Street, NYC
United States
(212) 691-1900
Tickets: 15
performed by Sound Liberation:
Chanda Rule - voice, LeeAnet Noble - percussion/rap/tap dance, Franz Hackl - trumpet, Greg Baker - guitar, Dan Cooper - 7-string bass guitar / flute, Gernot Bernroider - drums and Gene Pritsker on guitar/rap/Di.J.
The Rite of Spring was premiered on the 29th of May in 1913 at the Th��tre des Champs-�lys�es in Paris, France. The ballet caused quite a stir with its sexual and unconventional movements as well as Stravinsky's unique and avant-garde music. It has been reported that the performance caused a riot, where people were literally out of their seats jumping and pounding one another. I always regarded this as the first mosh pit of the 20th century. As a teenager studying music, I was strongly influenced by 'The Rite of Spring'. I listened to it over and over until what sounded like noise at first revealed itself to be the most incredible piece of music I have ever heard. I have always wanted to reinterpret this music through my own experience. On April 28th at the Cutting Room, with my band Sound Liberation and 100 years after its premiere in Paris, I will present my 45 minute composition. This new look at 'The Rite' interprets the various elements of this music using my eclectic methods and ideas: writing hip-hop and jazz songs, using improvisational techniques (like the ones used in African and Indian music), incorporating DJ and electronic elements and employing the various genres and techniques that have been developed since the premiere of this masterpiece

Wozzeck tells the story of a simple soldier, troubled by visions, who murders his unfaithful partner and dies, leaving behind an orphaned child. Berg�s early 20th-century masterpiece comes to ENO for the first time in 25 years.
This new production is by acclaimed director Carrie Cracknell. One of the most exciting young British directors of her generation, Carrie Cracknell is an Associate Director at the Young Vic, where her recent production of A Doll�s House was a critical success (�If you ever see a production of the play, see this one� Sunday Telegraph; �Carrie Cracknell ... set the Young Vic ablaze with her production over the summer ... Ibsen�s play reconsidered with fresh rabid emotion� New York Times; �The best production of an Ibsen I�ve ever seen� Kerry Shale, BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review).
Cracknell was previously co-Artistic Director at the Gate Theatre, London where her productions included Nick Payne�s version of Electra (co-production with Young Vic); Lucy Kirkwood�s adaptation of Hedda; I Am Falling (transferred to Sadler�s Wells); Mark Ravenhill�s Armageddon; and The Sexual Neuroses of our Parents by Lukas Barfuss.
Wozzeck is conducted by ENO�s award-winning Music Director Edward Gardner, whose conducting of Peter Grimes (2012) was described as having �breathtaking lyrical ferocity� (The Guardian).

James Gaffigan conductor
Stephen Hough piano
This, the second of our concerts featuring Stephen Hough performing Brahms, opens with another new piece by Jonathan Lloyd, this time for the BBC SO winds. Brahms�s Piano Concerto No. 2 is an epic, highly symphonic work, the longest written up to that time. Famous for the glorious cello melody that opens the slow movement as well as a corruscating and innovative Scherzo, this masterful concerto is hugely admired by Hough. Completing the cycle of Tippett symphonies we reach the first, a work conceived while Tippett was in prison as a conscientious objector and completed as war ended in 1945. Bursting with vitality and insistent rhythms, it has many of hallmarks of his later style, with a darkly Purcellian set of variations and a highly wrought double fugue to finish.

Introduced by BCMG Artist-in-Association John Woolrich
BCMG celebrates Britten�s centenary with a programme of early works, framing them with similarly small-scale pieces from composers with close connections to him.
Elegy for solo viola is an affecting, technically assured work, composed in a single day by the 17 year-old Britten. Crafted a year later, Going downhill on a bicycle is an experimental, almost Schoenbergian piece for violin and piano. Throughout his life Britten enjoyed writing for specific performers and composed his Phantasy Quartet, when just 19, for the leading English oboist of the day, Leon Goossens.
One the fascinating things about these early Britten works is that although beautifully crafted, they show Britten at a crossroads, before he knew what direction his music would take. His Suite, for violin and piano from 1935, is more characteristically Britten, showing that at 21 the young composer had started to find his voice.
No composer mattered more to young Britten than Alban Berg, whose Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano are the composer�s only true miniatures. Oliver Knussen met and was encouraged by Britten when young, and Henze�s Olly on the Shore pictures BCMG�s Artist-in-Association standing on the same stretch of Suffolk shoreline that Britten called home. Copland�s smoky, blues-inspired Nocturne and ukulele pastiche Serenade date back to before he first met Britten at his home in Snape.

Luke Bedford has fast become one of the most important composers of his generation, in part on the evidence of past work for the London Sinfonietta. This new ensemble composition is a major 25-minute work, which will be performed for a second time after the interval to give the rare instant second chance for an audience to get to know this brand-new composition. The programme also includes an ensemble arrangement of the 2011 double-soloist and string ensemble composition Wonderful Two-Headed Nightingale, and music by G�rard Grisey, whose music holds a fascination for Bedford.
Luke Bedford's new work is commisioned by the London Sinfonietta with the generous support of Michael and Patricia McLaren-Turner.

Paul Lewis is internationally recognised as one of the leading pianists of his generation. An acclaimed interpreter of the classical repertoire, here he performs Mozart�s exquisite A major concerto. Although clouds occasionally darken the Mozartian sky, the work is largely a sunny affair, particularly its ebullient finale.
The concert begins with a new piece by the Hall�s Associate Composer Helen Grime, while after the interval Sir Mark conducts Mahler�s First Symphony. This remarkable work begins with bird-calls and distant military fanfares before proceeding via a wonderfully rustic L�ndler and an evocation of a Jewish funeral to its inspirational, life-affirming conclusion.

Many composers are deeply identified with the music of their homeland. Antonin Dvorak�s music is laced with Slavic melody, and his work was essential in creating a Czech musical style. Igor Stravinsky�s early music speaks to the power of Russian folk music. But both composers spent vital years in the United States, and were profoundly influenced by the experience.

Ingo Metzmacher conductor
Johan Reuter baritone
High, gleaming sonorities and a sense of enchantment link Wolfgang Rihm�s new piece with Mahler�s beguiling songs from the magical folktae collection, Des Knaben Wunderhorn, sung by the much sought-after Danish baritone Johan Reuter. Songs of a very different kind permeate Shostakovich�s dramatic 11th symphony, an almost cinematic evocation of the 1905 Revolution. The composer wove nine popular revolutionary songs into his dramatic portrayal, with its ominous, icy opening and terrifying Bloody Sunday massacre during which 1,000 workers were gunned down. Shostakovich chose the dark-toned violas for his poignant lament for the dead, before a tumultuous finale that whips up an urgent fervour for justice.

At about the half-way mark of the 2009-10 season, you could see the writing on the wall for the Edmonton Oilers. They were going to finish dead last, and the verbal from the organization suggested that what happened by accident that season was about to happen by design in the season that followed. The Oilers aren't, of course, the only team to have used tanking as a strategy for ultimate success, and so I decided to find out how successful other teams were over the long term while using that strategy. Three seasons have come and gone since that time, so now seems like a good time to check in on how these clubs have improved.
In order to do this, some parameters need to be set. The most important one is in deciding what to call a rebuild. I began tha process by thinking about the shape of the league, which has changed significantly over the last few decades. In the 1980s, there were just five teams who missed the playoffs, so there's no point in tanking. Either your club makes the playoffs, or they try and fail, but you get a top-five pick. Now fourteen teams make the playoffs, and being consistently at the top of that group is a horrendous outcome, which provides mediocre (and bad) teams an incentive to lose. As such, I decided to look only at teams who began rebuilding in 1991 or later (which just misses the Quebec Nordiques).
So how do you know when someone is tanking? I decided that any team with two top five selections in two different seasons over a three-season sample must be. That makes the first year of the rebuilding phase the first year the club has a top-five pick. On the other side, I decided that a team wasn't really out just because they made the playoffs once, and that you can only really see them fully coming out in hindsight. Thus, I required two consecutive seasons where the team in question goes without a top-ten pick, choosing the first of those two seasons as the beginning of the post-build period.
Finally, the main point of this little exercise is to determine which teams have been successful, and that means defining success. The ultimate goal of every team is to win the Stanley Cup, but there's a lot of luck involved in that. Still, playoff success matters, and so I think a minimum of one appearance in the Conference Finals is a good criterion. But rebuilding successfully also requires sustain, so I decided that, in order to be successful, teams would need to make the playoffs for at least as many seasons as they spent rebuilding. Finally, I closed the "post-build" period after the team in question missed the playoffs twice (whether in consecutive seasons or not).
Here are the results:
A couple of quick notes to help with interpretation:
- The "+" symbol means that the team is still in the post-build period. In the last few seasons, the criteria I'm using has cut that period shorter than it should have for St. Louis and Carolina, but I'd rather note that this is the case than play with the criteria.
- Chicago and San Jose have both missed the playoffs once in the post-build period, but the other teams have made the playoffs each season since ending their rebuilding period.
- A first overall pick is also a top-five and a top-ten, so it gets counted in all three categories.
- I counted draft picks at the time the regular season ended instead of at the draft itself. If Columbus, for example, uses their 8th overall pick in a trade, they still get marked down as having had a top-ten pick. Toronto, on the other hand, never actually had a 2nd overall pick before they traded the rights to it away, which is why they aren't on this list.
Of the 19 rebuilds that are finished, 11 of them took between three and five seasons, and none of the teams who took more or less time than that were able to meet both of the criteria I'm using for success. Of the teams on the bubble now, I think that
Atlanta Winnipeg, and Long Island Brooklyn will have a hard time meeting both criteria with the talent they've got assembled now.
Even with those teams looking less promising, the post-lockout rebuilds seem to be doing better as a whole. Of the ten rebuilds that ended before the lockout, just two managed to make it past four playoff seasons in the post-build period. Of the nine completed after the lockout, we should see more than that (Pittsburgh and Washington are there, Chicago and L.A. should make it, and Phoenix could still join them).
Columbus is pretty clearly a gong-show — they've been rebuilding perpetually for their entire existence, and it sounds like they're "starting" again. Yikes. Their mirror image, San Jose, has been remarkably successful with 12 playoff appearances in the last 13 seasons, and a strong core of players there to this day. They're also a poster-child for having a great team that just hasn't been able to win a Stanley Cup.
The overall results should serve to caution fans in rebuilding cities. You might end up with the sustained success of San Jose, but you could also end up with the sustained something else of Columbus. Just 12 of 19 completed builds have met at least one of the criteria I laid out for success, and just 5-7 will meet both of them. Tanking is easy, but using the fruits of that tanking to create sustained success isn't.

Here's a guest post from Lou Gazzola with an update on the Got Game Port-A-Thon – Ed.
I was absolutely moved at the end of the 36 hour event when things went quiet and I saw the constant stream of "#BB10Believe" and "I Believe" in the chat window. I just spent 36 hours with an incredible group of people from around the globe. Together we chatted, coded, solved problems and created game apps for BlackBerry® 10. We also had a few laughs!
The number of people that submitted more than five and 10 apps was staggering! As per the Program Terms and Conditions, the first ten qualified participants to submit 10 approved apps will receive a trip to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and the first one hundred qualified participants to submit between five and 10 apps will receive a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing device. I was so astounded by the positive response and the number of apps we received, that I went back my team and suggested we do something for the rest of the developers that submitted the required number of apps but were not one of the first 100 or 10 qualifiers for a reward in their category.
As a result, we decided to give away ten additional trips and twenty additional BlackBerry Dev Alpha test devices! On Dec 16, we will conduct a draw to give away ten more trips to the Game Developers Conference and twenty BlackBerry Dev Alpha testing devices. The draw for the trips will be open to all those developers who submitted 10 or more approved apps during the BlackBerry Got Game Port-A-Thon Program Period and who have not already qualified for the trip. The draw for the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices will be open to all those developers who submitted five or more but less than 10 approved apps during the BlackBerry Got Game Port-A-Thon Program Period and who have not already qualified for the BlackBerry Dev Alpha testing device.
By the end of this week, we will send all eligible developers an email outlining the delivery details of your reward.. We anticipate that qualified vendors will receive their rewards in two to four weeks once we have confirmation that all the apps have been approved.
Here are more details which really impressed me! There were 645 developers that participated in the live event and 520 developers that are eligible for rewards. Over 2,000 apps were created for the BlackBerry 10 OS.
Thank you once again to all that participated in the event!

[slideshow_deploy id='25510′]
by Sue Ann Rybak
People were literally dancing in the street on West Highland Avenue on Friday night, June 14, as residents gathered to celebrate Kilian Hardware Company's 100th anniversary with food, music and other festivities.
W. Stewart Graham, chief-of-staff for City Councilman David Oh, presented Russell Goudy Sr. and his son Russell Goudy Jr., owners of the store, with a proclamation for being the "oldest continuously operating hardware store in Philadelphia." The proclamation noted that "the people who work there are very polite and know what they are talking about — and if Kilian's doesn't have it, it doesn't exist."
Sarah McAllister, of Chestnut Hill, called the local family-owned hardware store "an amazing treasure trove of obscure things you did not know you needed until the thingamajig broke."
Pat Sirianni, who grew up in Chestnut Hill, recalled one of his favorite memories about Kilian's.
"As a kid growing up, whenever we wanted a pen knife we would always come here," Sirianni said. "When I was about 8 years old, there was a hunting knife I wanted, but Russell wouldn't sell them to kids. One day I came into the store and told Russell that was the one I wanted. He said 'I can't sell you that. You're too little.'
"I told him I had a note from my dad," Sirianni said. "Well, of course it was a forgery. So, I brought him the note and he said, 'Well, I don't know about this, but I'll sell you the knife, anyway.' Well, two days later my father came in, and Russell told him what had happened, so my father took the knife away.
"Many years went by, and my father passed away. When we were cleaning out his closet, we found the knife. I brought it back here, and Russell sharpened it for me."
Walter Fox, now a Mt. Airy resident, said the day after his family moved in to their house on E. Highland Avenue in 1963, his first chore was to go down to Kilian's to buy a hammer. Francine, his wife, said that ever since, "Every project begins with a trip to Kilian's and ends with a trip to Kilian's."
Tony Smith, who grew up in Chestnut Hill, said he got his first job at Kilian Hardware Co.
"I worked there 55 years ago for one summer, and nothing has changed," Smith said. "I still know where everything is."
Jannie James, now of Poland, Ohio, said the first time she went to Kilian's while visiting her son Brian over Thanksgiving, she was "just charmed by the store and the people." James added that whenever she comes for a visit, she always brings a list.
A lot has changed on the Avenue since William and Minnie Kilian first opened the original hardware store at 8611 Germantown Ave. in 1913. Russ Goudy Sr. said that three years later later his aunt Minnie moved everything in a wheelbarrow to 8441 Germantown Ave., the current site of the Philadelphia Print Shop. The store was later passed to Minnie's brother, John Nelson Goudy Sr.
The store's current location is the site of the former Donat's Hotel and Saloon. Goudy said his uncle bought the hotel in 1923 (shortly after Prohibition started) from Melvin H. Grebe, who was the builder.
"My uncle Bill borrowed $1,000 from Grebe, so they could buy some toys for the Christmas season," Goudy said. "We had everything from hardware to housewares to toys."
As a kid growing up, Goudy said his father would ask him and his brother where things were in the store.
"We used to ask him to play that game with us," Goudy said. "In those days everything was shelved – nothing was on a peg board. He would ask us where were the dust pans, dust brushes, candles, simple things – and once in a while he would ask us some harder things like were are the scissors or knives."
Goudy said they sold everything – from nail files to scissors, toys, hammers and straight razors. Currently the store carries 33,000 items in stock, ranging from housewares to hardware. In 1999 the store went online with a website designed by Russ Goudy Jr. The store ships items all over the world, including recent mail orders to Singapore and Australia.
"During the war, we were the only store in Philadelphia that had transformers," Goudy said. "We carried a lot of war surplus. My father was afraid I was going to buy a Jeep in a box for $50 and put it together."
Goudy said Kilian's has everything – except for a "Jeep in a box."

Because of a potato blight in Ireland and western Scotland between 1846 and 1849, two million people either died or emigrated. In 1847, in response to appeals from citizens of Boston, Massachusetts, and New York, New York, the Congress of the United States authorized the Secretary of the Navy to allow the use of USS Jamestown and USS Macedonian by two merchant captains. This use of Navy ships for a civilian purpose would have been very unusual in peacetime, but in 1847 the United States was in the middle of the Mexican War, which made it even more so. The ships were to carry foodstuffs, donated by Americans, to the thousands starving in Ireland and western Scotland. This resolution, authorizing the use of the Navy ships by private individuals, is unique. Captain Robert B. Forbes, who captained the Jamestown, made a return visit to Ireland twenty years later and met there young men and women named Jamestown and Macedonian in honor of the US Navy ships that had saved their parents from starvation

Angela Stanford birdied her last three holes to join Catriona Matthew atop the leaderboard on eight-under par 63 on Thursday after the first round of the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.
Scotland's Matthew had nine birdies and one bogey in her round at the Grey Silo Golf Course, while Stanford played without a bogey on a layout that was softened by heavy rain earlier in the week.
World No. 1 Inbee Park, seeking her fourth victory in as many LPGA starts, led a chasing group of five players on six-under, that included fellow South Koreans Park Hee-young and Meena Lee, Spain's Belen Mozo and American Irene Cho.
Matthew teed off at the par-four 11th. After a bogey at the 12th she gradually gained steam, with five of her birdies coming in her last six holes.
"I hit it close all day, which gives you a lot of chances, and then obviously I putted well," Matthew said.
She hit all 14 fairways in regulation, which gave her a chance to attack the pins.
"The ball was just stopping pretty much where you hit it in, so you could get it quite close if you were on the fairways," Matthew said.
Stanford also opened her round at the 11th, later in the afternoon.
Three off the pace with three to play, she birdied eight, nine and 10 to tie the lead.
"I kind of thought about it on the eight tee box, that I had three holes left and I knew one of them is a par-three and the other two par-fours — I might have a wedge in," she said. "I really just tried to hit quality shots into the greens and had the opportunities I wanted and made them."
Park, coming off the whirlwind of publicity sparked by her historic US Women's Open triumph earlier this month, was pleased with her effort.
"It was an excellent round," she said. "I had a really good start this morning, five-under through seven holes. I missed a couple opportunities on the back nine, but I'm pleased with the way I played today. I hit the ball great, I putted great. The greens look like they're getting a little bit faster ... looking forward to playing the next few days with a little bit more speed on the greens."
Park, who won the Kraft Nabisco in April and the LPGA Championship last month, joined US sporting legend Babe Zaharias as the only women to win the first three majors in a season with her US Open victory.
She will have a chance to become the first man or woman to win four major golf championships in a calendar year at the Women's British Open at St Andrews from Aug. 1 to 4.
A victory this week would make her the first player to win four straight LPGA starts since Lorena Ochoa in 2008. She said putting together that kind of streak seemed impossible for her back when she was watching golfers like Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam win week-in and week-out.
"I thought they were so good, that I would never be in that kind of position, never be able to win like four, five tournaments in a row," Park said. "I thought that was toughest thing to do and I'm getting really close to that. I'm not as good as them yet, but I'm still learning now, just starting."
While Taiwan's Candie Kung was on three-under par after a round of 68, her compatriot and former world No. 1 Yani Tseng struggled to a one-over par 72.

Outdoor aluminium poles for every occasion
We offer aluminium solutions for outdoor lighting in the form of light poles, smart poles for smart cities, flag poles, and complete systems for traffic installations based on recycled aluminium and developed with safety and low maintenance in mind.
We offer customized as well as standardized light poles, traffic signal poles, sign posts, cantilevers and gantries, raise-and-lower poles, smart poles, anti-vandal poles, flagpoles as well as solar solutions.
Lightweight poles
The specific weight of aluminium is approximately 33 percent of that of steel. The typical weight of a pole with a height of six meters is approximately 20 kilograms. Light weight is an advantage as less metal is needed and savings are made on transportation costs.
Long lifespan
The lifespan of an aluminium pole is long, especially if the root section is effectively protected and the pole is installed with care.
Fully recyclable
The pole you purchase from Hydro is made of environmentally friendly and healthy materials and designed for reuse in a technical cycle. You also have the guarantee that you buy a product from a company that uses green energy and has a policy in which social responsibility is paramount.
When aluminium poles are replaced they can be returned to Hydro where we collect, buy and recycle them for eternal life.
Hydro's products fit perfectly with a circular economy. Our aluminum light poles are since 2011 Cradle to Cradle Certified™ silver.
Contact Hydro to discuss how we can help you design and select the right poles for your streets.

Max from NTS necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 157 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
NTS - Nature Technology Systems
(Please see attachment as well)
NTS stands for "Nature Technology Systems" and it is quite a successful start-up with a groundbreaking idea:
Harnessing winds at up to 1.500 feet (ca. 500m) with tethered airfoils for less than 2 Cent/kWh.
NTS assembles the existing technologies of automatically steered kites and mono-rails. The kites drag grounded cars running on a rail system mounted on masts. The individual ground cars are virtual or by a cable interconnected: Kites found in a strong wind can therefore pull other kites found in a weak headwind back towards the starting point. Generators at the ground convert the kinetic energy into electricity. Due to the continuous and strong winds at an altitude of 500 m the capacity of utilization of a NTS power plant is expected to be 80 – 90% and suitable to almost any location.
We as a company have strong ethic values and try to reach for the stars every day ;-)
B2B - we want to attract investors and companies looking for emission-free power with a sustainable impact to the environment, social and business.
B2C - we want to attract the public and give them a "good feeling" doing the right thing with the right people. We are very strict in fulfilling our goals to deliver emission free power and to be sustainable in the whole production and value chain.
Do we already have a concrete logo-idea?
Yes, we have actually two ideas which may give you a guidance.
We think about a scribbled or illustrated boy (about 10 ys old) with a kite flying high in the sky. You may know the "Hermès-Logo", the French luxury lable or "His Masters Voice" from Francis Barraud… this is the direction. We´d love it in a little more relaxed, playful and may be in a modern retro style. It is about the power of youth and the strong belive that great ideas will learn to fly.
And, we have an existing logo (please see below). The idea behind were "balls you can play with" – if you go for this idea, please feel free to rearrange the balls, find something instead and restyle everything – its just an idea.
And if you have an outstanding own idea: feel welcome to present this to us.
What facts are important?
The Logo should contain:
NTS (or nts)
Logo icon/pic
Nature Technology Systems (or nature technology systems)
(logo should work with and without this subline)
Thanks for your ideas!

How to Sound Smart at Your 2012 Oscars Party
It's easy to feel out of the loop at an Oscar party. Odds are many of the films nominated this year for Oscars didn't open up in a theater near you and even if they did, you may have been too busy to actually see them all. That's where we come in.
Even if you haven't seen this year's Oscar nominees you can still be a part of the conversation and sound like a film buff this Sunday. Just follow this quick guide on how to sound smart at your Oscar party!
- Michel Hazanavicius, the director of 'The Artist', is pronounced mee-shell ah-zahn-a-veece-ee-us.
- When discussing Brad Pitt's complex drama 'The Tree of Life,' use words like "metaphysical," "esoteric," "poetic cinema," "existential," "ethereal" and "Terence Malick." Also feel free to name drop composers Brahms, Bach, Mozart and François Couperin. (Then hope for no follow-up questions.)
- 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' borrows its name from the popular British nursery rhyme 'Tinker Tailor' (used in the film as codenames for British intelligence agents).
Tinker, Tailor,
Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief.
- 'The Artist', which could be the first (mostly) silent film to win Best Picture since the very first Academy Award ceremony, was inspired by films like 'Underworld,' Charlie Chaplin's 'City Lights,' 'The Crowd' and 'Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans.'
- Melissa McCarthy, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, based her character in 'Bridesmaids' on celebrity chef Guy Fieri. If she wins, McCarthy would be the third person, after Helen Hunt and Felicity Huffman, to win an Emmy and an Oscar in the same year.
- This is the first year Pixar has had a movie eligible for Best Animated Feature and not been nominated. They had previously won six out of the eight years they were nominated. This year's film, 'Cars 2′, was not nominated for any Oscars. Pixar's only nomination this year is for their Animated Short Film, 'La Luna,' which will be attached to their summer release 'Brave.'
- Composer John Williams was nominated twice this year for Best Original Score (for 'War Horse' and 'The Adventures of Tintin'). This is the seventh time Williams has been nominated twice in the same year but in those seven years, only won once (for 'Star Wars' in 1977).
- You may know Jim Rash, nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for co-writing 'The Descendants,' as the effeminate Dean Pelton on the NBC sitcom 'Community.'
- With 'Midnight in Paris', Woody Allen has become the 2nd most nominated living person in Oscar history with 23 total nominations, behind only composer John Williams with a whopping 47 nominations.
- Despite being nominated six times, Glenn Close, nominated again this year for 'Albert Nobbs', has never won an Oscar.
- Kristen Wiig is only the second female 'Saturday Night Live' star to be nominated for an Oscar. The first? Joan Cusack, who was nominated twice for 'Working Girl' and 'In & Out.'
- Meryl Streep, nominated for Best Actress this year for 'The Iron Lady,' has been nominated for an Oscar in five consecutive decades ('The Deer Hunter,' 'Kramer vs. Kramer,' 'The Bridges of Madison County,' 'The Devil Wears Prada' and now 'The Iron Lady').
- The oldest person to ever win an Oscar is Jessica Tandy who won Best Actress for 'Driving Miss Daisy' in 1989. That could change this year though as two 82-year-old actors – Christopher Plummer ('Beginners') and Max von Sydow ('Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close') – are nominated for Best Supporting Actor (with Plummer currently the odds-on favorite).
- With the exception of Best Actress, George Clooney has been nominated in all of the major individual Oscar categories including Best Actor ('The Descendants'), Best Supporting Actor ('Syriana,' for which he won an Oscar), Best Director ('Good Night, and Good Luck'), Best Original Screenplay ('Good Night, and Good Luck') and Best Adapted Screenplay ('The Ides of March'). If he ever wins Best Actress, we'll really be impressed.
- If Rooney Mara wins Best Actress for 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,' her family would win an Oscar and a Super Bowl in the same year. Mara, who attended the Super Bowl, is the granddaughter of longtime Giants co-owner Wellington Mara and daughter of current Vice President of Player Evaluation, Tim Mara. But the connection doesn't mean much to Ms. Mara — she's not exactly a football fan. "My whole family is really into it. I'm not," she told Allure Magazine.
- Jonah Hill is nominated for an Oscar for 'Moneyball' but fellow comedian Demetri Martin was originally cast in the role, only to be replaced when the film changed directors.
- Best Editing nominee Thelma Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorsese's movies since 'Raging Bull' and has only edited one non-Scorsese film ('Grace of My Heart').
- The novel 'War Horse' is based on was originally intended as a children's book but has been re-marketed for adults after the success of the film and the Broadway play.
If that wasn't enough, here's a very brief and simple rundown of all the films nominated for Oscars in the five major categories.
'The Artist' – Two silent film actors find their careers influenced by the transition to talking pictures in the late-1920s.
'The Descendants' – When his wife is left comatose following an accident, a man (George Clooney) finds himself thrust into the unfamiliar role of caregiver to their two daughters.
'The Help' – Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (Emma Stone) returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families.
'Hugo' – A young Parisian orphan (Asa Butterfield) who lives hidden away in a train station secretly keeping its many clocks running, gets into an adventure involving a mechanical figure and a mysterious toy shop owner (Ben Kingsley).
'Moneyball' – Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and his assistant, Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), devise a statistics-based formula for choosing potential players that flouts conventional baseball wisdom.
'Midnight in Paris' – A writer, on a trip to Paris with his fiancée, is transported every night at midnight
to the 1920s, when artists and writers celebrated creativity, but finds himself at odds with his unimaginative future wife.
'The Tree of Life' – As Jack O'Brien and his two younger brothers grow up, they are shaped by both the nurturing love of their mother and their demanding father's strict discipline and unyielding expectations.
'War Horse' – The horrors of war are seen through the eyes of a valiant horse whose young owner must relinquish him to the army at the start of World War I.
'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' – A young boy who may have Asperger's syndrome must deal with the loss of his father on September 11th.
'My Week With Marilyn' – In the early summer of 1956, Colin Clark worked on a film that starred Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. 40 years later, his diary account was published, but one week was missing; this is the story of that week.
'Albert Nobbs' – A woman (Glenn Close) passes as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland.
'A Better Life' – A Mexican immigrant tracks down his stolen truck in Los Angeles while trying to prevent his son from falling in with East LA gangs.
'The Iron Lady' – A look at the life of Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' – An intelligence officer is recalled from retirement when there are signs that one of the top-ranking officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service is a Soviet mole.
'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' – A disgraced Journalist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for forty years by Lisbeth Salander, a rebellious, young computer hacker.
'Jack and Jill' - Adam Sandler plays a successful advertising executive and his braying, obnoxious sister in this outrageous comedy– just kidding. This one didn't get any Oscar noms. Though it'll probably win a few Razzies.

The listing of commemorations, by day, with their appropriate symbols can be found in the Typicon and also the Great Book of Hours (at least in the Russian versions of these texts). Typically, the symbols which denote the rank of the feast are not hard-and-fast, and there is a certain amount of inconsistency in the application of them.

Brazilian Batman Is the Hero the World Needs
Criminals in Brazil don't just have to watch out for the cops -- now they need to check over their shoulders for Batman, too.
Police in the Brazilian city of Taubaté have enlisted André Luiz Pinheiro, 50, a military retiree and local Batman impersonator, to roam the streets in crime-ridden neighborhoods. And according to O Vare, a local news site, the goal is for Pinheiro to "hopefully become an approachable presence in these troubled communities and act as a recognizable beacon for lost children."
Wayward kids aside, there's no word on just what the erstwhile crime-fighter will be allowed to do or how many wonderful toys -- as the Joker once called them -- he can use to keep ne'er-do-wells in their place. But he reportedly won't be working with petty theft cases. Police want him on the streets to discourage murder and drug trafficking.
Regardless, Pinheiro's up for the challenge.
I am eager to know how we can work together," he said. "One child that I can help bringing the story of a character, it would be very cool."
Agreed, just as long as he doesn't follow Batman's lead and adopt one of those kids as his ward and sidekick. Why didn't Child Services ever look into the whole Robin thing?

Learning emergency first aid skills on the northern border of Afghanistan
Afghan Border Police (ABP) officers do not receive any first aid training during their basic and post-academy training. Some 92 per cent of officers on the Afghanistan/Tajikistan border have no knowledge of critical lifesaving skills. Officers often work in remote areas under extreme winter and summer conditions while facing insurgents and drug traffickers without ready access to emergency care.
"Our officers are untrained when it comes to first aid and the majority of our officers are illiterate because of 30 years of war. We desperately need first aid training to help save lives," said General Habib Sayed Khail, former commander of ABP Zone 5 Headquarters.
- 283 Afghan Border Police Officers trained
- 35 hours of Emergency First Aid
- 16 border outposts
In 2013, UNDP teamed up with the Red Crescent Society of Tajikistan (RCST) and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to provide training for officers in the field along the northern border. For the training program to work, the RCST sub-contracted with the Afghan/Tajik NGO, "Human Helping Foundation," to develop a 35-hour course for both literate and illiterate officers which could be delivered in the field under very basic conditions when necessary, e.g., sometimes without heat or electricity and without traditional training facilities.
As a result, for the first time nearly 300 officers from sixteen different border outposts received invaluable training for dealing with both day-to-day injuries for themselves and family members, but also crucial life-saving skills to deal with issues such as penetrating wounds, heart attacks, snake bites, and broken limbs. A central part of the training was the development of a 20-page, 10 x 13 cm. handbook for officers to keep with their personal effects. The handbook is a ready reference which provides officers a quick (pictorial) overview of what they've learned. Each training location also received field medical kits. They were enthusiastically received by outpost medical officers who typically must buy their own equipment.
"Our officers were excited to receive the training," said Colonel Talosh, Chief of Education, ABP Headquarters. "Some commented that it will help them in their homes and communities, and others said they can also potentially save the life of a fellow officer."
BOMNAF's objective is to reinforce border management capacity and trans-border cooperation in the Northern provinces of Afghanistan by building capacity through the provision of infrastructure, training and equipment to the Afghan Border Police (ABP) deployed on Afghanistan's northern frontier.

Lew Medical
We are a small traditional family practice medical group.
The website will present our concept of a "medical home" where people will be able to receive full-service medical care with same-day appointments. We are the first small group in our area to incorporate electronic medical records into our practice. So we are hip and savvy and we want to give that impression to our visitors.
Our focus group would be young and middle-aged parents who are looking for excellent medical care for their family and/or aging parents.
Don't use only the color blue. That's sterile. We want a more lively feeling.
Clean, modern, and simple. Nothing TOO elaborate and hard to see.
Nothing too stodgy, like insurance companies.
Forward thinking. Maybe even Web 2.0y ;-)
