Hillman Opera presents take on 'Cinderella' at SUNY Fredonia
The Hillman Opera will present two performances of Gioachino Rossini's famous work "La Cenerentola" (Cinderella) this November at SUNY Fredonia.
This will be a staged concert version of the classic opera, sung in the original Italian with English supertitles projected above the stage. Performances will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in King Concert Hall.
The annual Hillman Opera is a collaborative effort between the SUNY Fredonia School of Music, Department of Theatre and Dance and the Hillman Memorial Music Association.
"The music of Rossini is unique and very difficult for both singers and instrumentalists," Hillman Producer Julie Newell said. "He writes with an effervescent style, many melismatic phrases and a wide vocal range. The perpetual energy of his style has brought him universal acclaim throughout his life and long beyond. Rossini was a 'rock star' of his generation."
Rossini completed the score for "La Cenerentola" in only three weeks, a fact Newell described as "an astounding feat when listening to all the material he created. He was the most famous composer in Italy, and even the future great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi was in awe of his work and his achievements."
This year's cast features singers from the School of Music vocal program including Hillman Opera veterans Amanda Bottoms of Cheektowaga as Cenerentola, Lorenzo Parnell of Rochester as Prince Ramiro, Makoto Winkler of Seaford, N.Y., as Don Magnifico, Michael Hawk of Silver Creek as Dandini, Cody Ray Caho of Wellsville as Alidoro, Aubrey Warner of Clarence as one of the "nasty" stepsisters Clorinda, and Allison Deady of Rochester as her counterpart, Tisbe.
The story of "La Cenerentola" follows the line of the familiar fairy tale with some notable differences. Cinderella has a stepfather rather than a stepmother and the fairy godmother role falls to the character of Alidoro, the prince's tutor. Prince Ramiro's valet Dandini takes on a significant role.
In addition, there is no glass slipper in "La Cenerentola." Instead, a pair of diamond bracelets is used by the couple to find each other again after the ball has ended.
The Hillman Opera of SUNY Fredonia began as a community-campus collaboration in the early 1950s, and has continued today in the model of a professional opera company. Alumni of the Hillman Opera have appeared on stages worldwide and serve as opera educators in conservatories and university programs throughout the United States and beyond.
This year's production includes more than 100 students. In addition to a cast of seven, there are more than 30 ensemble members and the Fredonia Opera Orchestra, with more than 60 student members. In addition, the production is supported by a backstage crew of 35 students.
The annual opera production team also includes a number of SUNY Fredonia faculty members. In addition to Newell, there is Music Director Dr. David Rudge, Stage Director Paul Mockovak and Vocal Coach and Repetiteur Shinobu Takagi. Newell said the opera "would not be possible without the leadership of a strong Theatre technical faculty, including David Stellhorn, Todd Proffitt, Laurel Walford and Max Zorn."
Tickets for "La Cenerentola" are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center, by phone at 673-3501 and online at fredonia.edu/tickets.

People We Love: Maria Aguinda
Maria Aguinda is an elder of the Quechua indigenous people in Ecuador, and lead plaintiff of 30,000 in a lawsuit against oil multinational Chevron. Between 1964 and 1990, Chevron pumped over 16 billion gallons of toxic waste into the Amazonian environment. Plaintiffs believe this increased the local incidence of health problems, including cancer.
In February, after an 18-year legal battle, an Ecuadorian court awarded the plaintiffs $9.5 billion. It is the first time an indigenous group has won this type of environmental lawsuit in their own country.
Aguinda isn't satisfied. The land that once met the food and medicinal needs of local people is nearly uninhabitable. On appeal, plaintiffs seek damages of more than $27 billion.
On days when Aguinda isn't in court, she wakes up early and travels miles to find clean water. "Before I die they have to pay me for the dead animals, and for what they did to the river, and the water and the Earth," she told AFP news.
After enduring years of toxic dumping and rising cancer rates, indigenous Ecuadorians took oil giant Chevron to court to fight for the life of the rainforest—and its people.
Indigenous leaders from Ecuador visited Louisiana to share what they learned in a decades-long battle with Texaco.

WeatherRadios.com is the web's leading destination for weather radios and emergency radios. We offer a tremendous selection of products, including leading brands like Eton, Sangean and Midland Weather Radios. We also provide a ton of educational resources - like tools to find SAME Codes or locate NOAA weather radio stations. We also offer free shipping, competitive pricing and no hassle returns.
Dangerous weather events and natural disasters are often unpredictable and life threatening. Weather radios provide early warnings to weather and non-weather related threats, and early awareness is critical because it provides additional time to seek safe shelter. That is why the American Red Cross and FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Agency) recommend that all homes, offices and schools have one. The Red Cross also advises all families to keep a disaster preparedness kit that includes a portable radio or hand crank radio.
In the United States, the NOAA and NWS broadcast emergency warnings for weather and non-weather threats over a dedicated network of over 1000 high-frequency radio stations. Environment Canada has a similar alert network that operates on the same radio frequencies. These networks were originally created to transmit warnings for dangerous weather, but they now are an "all-hazards" alert system and also transmit warnings for non-weather threats like natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires), terrorist threats and AMBER (missing child) alerts. Only weather radios and emergency radios can receive these high frequency broadcasts - normal AM/FM radios cannot.
Why does anyone need weather radio in this age of smart phones and the internet? Mobile phone networks and grid electricity often go down during storms and disasters. During Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, many survivors were unable to receive emergency warnings and updates because their mobile phones, computers, and televisions were useless. Radios with the alert feature are also designed to wake you from a deep sleep in the event of an emergency. Radios with the SAME feature can even remain silent until an alert for your specific county occurs which eliminates warnings that don't apply to your area.
For help picking a unit, please see our guide to choosing a weather radio.
Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe!

Strong teams remain on course while home hopes for men's teams dashed in Samila Asian Beach Volleyball Tour
Songkhla, Thailand, April 15, 2014 - The 2012 Asian Beach Games winners Tanarattha Udomchavee and Varapatsorn Radarong were the only team to keep the host nation's medal hopes alive after all the other men's teams crashed out of the Samila-Chang Asian Beach Volleyball Tour on Tuesday.
Tanarattha/Varapatsorn (Thailand 1) – who could not go the distance at the last week's Khanom meet in Nakhon Si Thammarat following their bitter loss to Nicole Laird/Mariafe Artacho (Australia 1) in the semi-final clash – stand a good chance of avenging that disappointment when they powered their way to the semi-finals on Tuesday, where they will challenge the same Australian rivals.
Tanarattha and Varapatsorn performed superbly to beat Indians Maheshwari Jayaraman/Venkata Karri Veera in effortless straight sets 2-0 (21-6, 21-7) in 28 minutes on Tuesday. The well-trained Thais went on to beat Usa Tenpaksee/Yupa Phokongploy (Thailand 3) 2-1 (21-17, 20-22, 15-10) in an all-Thai affair.
Laird/Artacho (Australia 1) outclassed Ayumi Kusano/Fujii Sakurako (Japan 2) 2-0 (21-16, 21-11) before trouncing another Japanese side, Takemi Nishibori/Mizoe Sayaka (Japan 1) 2-1 (21-17, 21-15) in their second clash.
As Australia 1 set up the first semi-final match against Thailand 1, the other semis see Vanuatu's Elwin Miller/Latika Henriette, winners at the last week's Khanom meet, go up against Juliana Dhita/Dini Yashita Utami Putu (Indonesia 1).
The Vanuatu tandem, who are competing in Thailand for the first time, have yet to lose a set to their respective rivals at the Samila meet. The formidable Miller/Henriette on Tuesday defeated Thanh Loan Ngo Vo/Tran Thi Trong (Vietnam 1) in straight sets 2-0 (21-10, 21-17) before beating Rumpaipruet Numwong/Khanittha Hongpak 2-0 (21-18, 21-5) of Thailand 2.
Dhita/Utami Putu (Indonesia 1) were also on impressive form. They displayed an improved performance after a despairing performance at last week's Khanom meet. Brushing off Julia Tilley/Shaunna Polley (New Zealand 1) 2-0 (21-18, 21-10), the Indonesians stunned Tatyana Mashkova/Irina Tsimbalova (Kazakhstan 1) in a hard-fought three-setter 2-1 (17-21, 22-20, 15-11).
In the men's category, Tiago De J Santos/Pereira Santos (Qatar 1), fresh from winning the Khanom meet last week, remained in indomitable form, beating Sandun Madushnka Andibudge/Supun Dileka Fenando Weerakonda Arachchige (Sri Lanka 2) in a completely one-sided battle 2-0 (21-11, 21-9) in 27 minutes. The Qataris later beat Sam Boehm/Cole Durant (Australia 1) in a hotly-contested battle 2-0 (24-22, 21-19).
In Wednesday's quarter-finals, the Qataris will go up against Vladislav Pustynnikov/Sergey Bogatu (Kazakhstan 2).
The highly-experienced Alexandr Dyachenko/Alexey Sidorenko (Kazakhstan 1), silver medallists at the Khanom meet last week, beat two home teams. They first defeated Kittipat Yungtin/Chutipong Sukarayotin (Thailand 2) 2-0 (21-18, 21-16) before sinking Thai hearts by beating Sittichai Sangkhachot/Prathip Sukto of Thailand 1 in a gruelling three-set clash 2-1 (21-13, 13-21, 15-9) in 51 minutes.
In the other quarterfinal encounters on Wednesday, Dyachenko/Sidorenko (Kazakhstan 1) will take on Roufi Rahman/Salemiinjehboroun Bahman (Iran 2), while Farrokhi/Parviz (Iran 1) challenge Joshua Court/Damien Schumann (Australia 2) and Ageda Yuya/Yoshiumi Hasegawa (Japan 1) will play Ben O'Dea/Thomas Hartles (New Zealand 1).

That was an interesting game to watch. Dillon Gee had a strong showing, Jason Bay knocked in three runs and was named Player of the game, Daniel Murphy had some adventures in the field but knocked in the go-ahead and insurance runs, and Bay and Ike Davis hit back to back titanic home runs (I think Ike's may have dented the Pepsi Porch steps). There were lots of moving pieces in the Mets' third consecutive win.
For today's "Something Nice", I'm going with Jose Reyes' performance. He walked to lead off the first inning and, upon advancing to third, walked a quarter of the way toward home taunting Diamondbacks pitcher Barry Enright (he and David Wright would go on to score when Jason Bay singled). It was classic Reyes gamesmanship and even though it didn't work, it was great to see him agitating the opposition again. He would finish 2-4 with two runs scored and, to top it off, he successfully generated a balk in the eighth inning. He didn't steal a single base, but it was a classic Jose Reyes game. I'm just happy I was there to watch it in person.

Plano Police are dealing with a rash of wheel thefts where the thieves move with the speed and precision of a NASCAR pit crew.
According to some, big, shiny wheels give a vehicle a little more swagger -- but they are also giving some a headache.
Joe Froehlich is one of those owners. Froehlich's Chevy Avalanche is the definition of going nowhere fast after he woke to find all four of his wheels had been stolen while he slept in his Plano home.
"It eats up your day. It frustrates you and it will cost you money," said Froehlich. "Any child coming by could have been, well, could have been killed, because it was on a couple of pieces of stone and a jack. With this wind today it could have easily fallen over."
Rich McDonald with the Plano police said they have had about 20 reports this year of stolen wheels and that the crews work somewhat like a NASCAR pit crew -- quickly, but much more quietly.
Officials said mainly GM models like the Escalade, Denali, Yukon and Silverado are targeted and that wheel locks do not always prevent your wheels from being stolen.
Just ask theft victim Mike Wasserman.
"They broke in through the passenger side window, raised the compartment ... took the wheel lock and took the wheels off the vehicle," said Wasserman.
Police said that rim thefts aren't always carried out in quiet, overnight thefts. Many carjackings aren't for the car as much as they are for the wheels -- which, police say, is something to consider when pimping your ride.

Why Go DRM-Free? 6 Reasons To Start/
We want to make sure you have the best gift in the best form to give all your friends, family, and loved ones this holiday season. That's why we put DARK HORSE up in a DRM-free form. You can order it now right here. We respect you -- and we want you to still love us in the morning after the magic of the first time has gone. Get up and ride again. Giddyapp! It makes me wonder: when will DRM-free be the usual way? Sure you can get Dark Horse on iTunes or on Amazon but why not order it in a form that you can put on all your devices. You know you will want to watch it again and again.
Here's 6 reasons why everyone should release there work DRM-free:
- -DRM is a false sense of security. People that are determined to not pay for your film will find a way, no matter what restrictions you put in place.
- -DRM-free enables you to take advantage of social activity on-line and in the real world. There is always an element of sharing that happens with art and entertainment, and social networks have made it that much easier and created more opportunities for filmmakers to find an audience. You need to be part of the ongoing dialogue happening around your film, and instituting restrictive DRM limits that.
- -The only people who lose with DRM are your customers. Why hurt people who have already given you money?
- -Giving customers the option of DRM-free shows you trust and respect them, and want them to enjoy your work with the least restriction possible. This is a critical part of positively building your audience.
- -DRM-free files are the most compatible, and can be played flawlessly on any device, any platform, and anywhere in the world. It's also much easier to implement features like subtitles and commentary tracks using available open standards.
- -By using open, DRM-free standards, you ensure your files are future proof and will never be incompatible with future technology.
I hope you will help build this list. Many thanks to Adam Klaff of VHX.tv for getting it started.

Skylab 4 commander Jerry Carr joking with his crewmate Bill Pogue. Carr is demonstration how easy it is to balance a crewmate on one's fingertip in weightlessness.
StillDiggin wrote:Apparently, only humans cast shadows in space... or am I just reaching here?
Just imagine a clothes dryer, how it spins, up and away from gravity, and also down and towards gravity. The turning device is in the center of the object being turned. With 'Centripetal Force for Circular Motion', if it is fast enough at a constant speed, the object inside a container being spun will stay in the one spot against the side of the container or a dummy fake space station. However because of the 'Centripetal Force Principal', the object inside the container has a tendency to move towards the center of the container, thereby creating its own center of gravity within the container.
Remember the object would stay in the one spot against the side of the spinning container, unless another external force pushes the object towards the center, an inanimate object cannot push itself away from the side of the spinning container, however a human has its own external/internal force, to push themselves, and other objects, as is shown in the fast spinning dummy International space station.
Astronauts use the force of their legs or arms to push themselves & objects to the center or away from the sides of the dummy space station, and the astronauts and objects move, or float within the center of the spinning container.

Thank you to MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this challenge and a card/picture which is centered around the sun and it's use as a metaphor in life.
It's early morning and the sky is tinged with an inky darkness. Out of the east brilliant colour begins to emerge. First the sky lightens, the navy washing out into a paler blue. The sun goddess brings a purplish hue to the sky which then begins to blaze with citrus orange; a red-pink hue completes the spectacular sunset. The goddess knows the sailors will complain about the pink hue; the suspicious lot of them.
She watches the sunrise, in all nature's artistry, from washed out watercolour to colours aflame in brilliant acrylic. The colours become more pigmented and the sky itself turns cheery sky blue and the brilliance of the sunrise is replaced by the promise of a new day. A soft yellow glow on everything outside, reminding the goddess of the smell of lemons and a distinct feeling of happiness.
She spots her treasured swing in her secret garden. The fall leaves of tangerine orange, blazing gold, and brazen red, match her sunrise well. The goddess steps through the coloured leaves and walks to the swing. It's warm enough that many flowers are yet blooming and some of the Autumn colours are enhanced by the grassy green of summer, holding on despite a chill arising as winter whispers.
Roses decorate the sun goddess ropes on her swing as she kicks out ageless beautiful shapely legs, then kicks her legs underneath her wodden swing. She keeps her pace gentle, pumping her legs at leisure and watching the sun provide hope to this part of the world; the renewal of light.
The blue sky is awesome and many people are out walking their dogs. It's early and only the dogs see the goddess swimging. They approach her for a scratch and a hidden treat. Their kisses lap her face as she tries to avoid getting licked on the mouth. The goddess grins when the dogs wagging their tales, return to their owners, sniffing through the gathering of leaves on the sidewalk.
She lingers on the swing longer than she should. But there is a certain peacefulness in the morning hours she needs to make it through the day. She mentally calculates how much time she has, not long; other places in the world are eager to see the sunrise too. Yet in the cool of the morning air the goddess sighs.
Here is an enchanted place ready to see the crystal clearness daylight reveals, unconcealing those who hide in darkness. But in other places, darkness is safer, for in daylight there is no delight but harm as the shadows themselves strive to suck away the light. The sun goddess smiles because the sun always rises, the shadows never win.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things to watch on TV this weekend while you stay at home and weave elaborate tapestries featuring your cat. LET'S GO!
THE COMEDY CENTRAL ROAST OF DAVID HASSELHOFF - 10PM Sunday (Comedy Central) It's time once again for Comedy Central to exploit the old Friar's Club tradition and honor a star (this time, David Hasselhoff, because why not) by parading a bunch of people up to a microphone to say rotten things about him. Your professional comedian roasters for the evening include Greg Giraldo and Jeffrey Ross. Nice. Excellent. That's the good news. The bad news is these roasts always come with an eclectic group of roasters chosen seemingly at random, including people who have NO experience doing standup comedy. Which is why you'll also be hearing from Hulk Hogan (juh?), George Hamilton (umm…), and Pam Anderson (well, they did do Baywatch together). Your host is "Family Guy" mastermind Seth McFarlane. Because… well, no one quite knows why. ANTICIPATION: FILTHY!
DEN BROTHER - 8PM tonight (Disney) It's a Disney Channel original movie, this one about a cocky hockey player (is there any other kind?) forced to lead his little sister's Bumble Bee scout troop. It's just like "Troop Beverly Hills," only without Shelley Long, and with a hockey player. Will lessons be learned? Will our main character warm up to those cuddly little scout troops? Will they all share a sleeve of thin mints at the end? Oh, I think so. ANTICIPATION: THIN MINTS!
SAY YES TO THE DRESS - 9PM tonight (TLC) Join future brides as they show for wedding dresses. It's just like going with them in person, only with all of the indecision and none of the free champagne. They're all white and they all cost two grand, lady. Pick one already. ANTICIPATION: DRESSY!
BABY BIRTHDAY BASHES - 10PM Sunday (BBC America) Lavish birthday parties are thrown for snotty little British toddlers who probably don't even realize what the heck is going on. If you have a child under three and you're spending more than a hundred bucks on some birthday party for the kid, just know that I'm coming to get you. ANTICIPATION: NEEDLESS!
THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE - 10PM Sunday (Food Network) Competing food truck race across America for $50,000 in cash prizes. It's gonna be awfully hard to order that doner kebab while going 85mph, but I'm game to give it a shot. ANTICIPATION: FAST FOOD!

Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 7
Telephotographic Statement
OUR New York Broad Street office recently
sent a financial statement by
the telephotographic system of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company to
our Los Angeles office. This statement
was a schedule of securities held by a
New York bank for the account of a certain
corporation, giving the number and
market values of the various securities held
on each of three dates. It was of considerable
size, covering slightly more than
one ordinary working sheet. The time required
was approximately one and one-half
hours from the time the statement was
placed in the hands of the transmitter until
it was delivered to our Los Angeles office.
The cost of sending it by telephotograph
was considerably less than it would have
been to have sent it by telegraph. Obviously,
the result was much more satisfactory.
The New York Broad Street office
was enthusiastic over their first experience
in using the telephotographic process.
News Items
Colonel Carter and Mr. Kracke recently
returned from Europe on the S.S.
Majestic of the White Star Line.
Colonel Carter was reelected vice-president
of The Accountants Club of America,
at its annual meeting on November 19,
1928, at New York.

Mark Rothko (American, Dvinsk, Russia 1903 - 1970 New York)
The Syrian Bull, 1943
Signed lower right (scratched into wet paint): M Rothko
Oil and graphite on canvas
39 3/8 x 27 7/8 in. (100 x 70.7 cm)
Gift of Annalee Newman in honor of Ellen Johnson, 1991
The Syrian Bull represents Rothko's response to European Surrealism, the dominant aesthetic force in New York artistic circles from the late 1930s to the mid '40s. The painting also served as a catalyst in an early published debate about the modernist painting of that period, the emerging New York School.
There were many Surrealist exhibitions, emigrés, and works circulating in New York during this period, and several interrelated factors drew Rothko and many other young American painters to this European influx.1 A widespread dissatisfaction with the provincialism and literalism of American art and culture; a commitment to subject matter of critical, human import; and a belief in an "authentic" subjectivity that resided in uncharted areas of the collective mind made Surrealism's focus on desires, dreams, and repressed subconscious materials highly influential.
Rothko's paintings of this period drew their figuration from the work of those European Surrealist painters, such as Joan Miró or André Masson, who deployed abstracted, biomorphic forms in an undefined space. Rothko's response to their work is exemplified in the pale, luminous color and thinly painted surface of The Syrian Bull, in the shallow, horizontal "stage" for the figure, and in the hybrid figure itself, a construction that combines aquatic, human, and vegetal matter. This and other composite figures by Rothko overtly recall the Surrealists' automatic drawing techniques, which purported to release unconscious energies and associations.2 The initial exhibition and reception of The Syrian Bull marks a key moment in Rothko's public presentation of his views on painting. First shown in 1943 at the Third Annual Exhibition of Modern Painters and Sculptors in New York, the canvas was among the paintings that New York Times art critic Edward Alden Jewell singled out to illustrate the hopeless incomprehensibility of recent modernist art.3 Another work so mentioned was The Rape of Persephone (AMAM inv. 91.41.2) by Adolph Gottlieb, a painter with whom Rothko had been working closely for several years.4 Wrote Jewell,
"You will have to make of Marcus Rothko's "The Syrian Bull" what you can; nor is this department prepared to shed the slightest enlightenment when it comes to Adolph Gottlieb's "Rape of Persephone."
Within five days, Gottlieb and Rothko, with the assistance of their friend and colleague Barnett Newman, wrote and signed a response to Jewell, parts of which were published in The Times on 13 June 1943.5
Their by-now famous letter, headed by photographs of The Syrian Bull and The Rape of Persephone,6 offers a compendium of aesthetic and cultural themes and positions that Rothko and other New York School painters would continue to put forward throughout much of the 1940s. An espousal of abstract forms which "destroy illustion and reveal truth" and are "the simple expression of the complex thought"; a committment to subject matter "which is tragic and timeless"; "a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art"; and a belief that the meaning of a painting "must come out of a consummated experience between picture and onlooker" are among their statements.7 The Syrian Bull is described as "a new interpretation of an archaic image, involving unprecedented distortions. Since art is timeless, the significant rendition of a symbol, no matter how archaic, has as full validity today as the archaic symbol had then."Despite the letter's expression of a unified purpose, the many differences between The Syrian Bull and The Rape of Persephone reveal the specificity of each artist's concerns as a painter. In contrast to Gottlieb's clearly defined, centralized image, and its dense uniformity of tone, hue, and pigment, Rothko's brightly-hued painting is complex and various in form, tonality, and paint application. Art historians have detected prefigurations of Rothko's later color-field work in The Syrian Bull (and others like it): specifically, in its luminosity, its rectilinear organization of the picture field, and the ambiguous "edges" of forms that seem to confound figure and ground, transparency and opacity of paint.

Work (C) 1998 Kate Rothko-Prizel & Christopher Rothko / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
Born Marcus Rothkowitz in Dvinsk, Russia, on 25 September 1903, Rothko arrived in Portland, Oregon, in 1913. From 1921 to 1923, he attended Yale University, but left before receiving a degree. In 1925 Rothko settled permanently in New York, where he studied painting at the Art Students League with the American modernist Max Weber. From then until the late 1930s, Rothko's nudes, figures, and cityscapes absorbed a wide range of influences, including the work of Weber and Milton Avery, with whom Rothko exhibited in a group show in 1928. Throughout the 1930s, Rothko participated in a number of artists' groups that aimed to merge progressive, social action with artistic innovation.8 It was not until the Surrealist-inspired works of the late 1930s to the early '40s that a set of formal and thematic concerns became consistently manifest in Rothko's painting. During this period, Rothko's interests in Surrealism, the unconscious, myth, and tragedy, were shared by a number of young artists, who frequently discussed and defended their works in various public fora; they were later referred to as the New York School of painting. After World War II, Rothko developed the large, color-field paintings that became his signature style. These canvases are divided into rectilinear registers, each articulated by a thin field of unevenly applied pigment; they are admired for their powerful visual address and subtle, apparently psychological modulations. The painter completed several monumental mural projects in the later decades of his life. In the spring of 1967, Rothko suffered an aneurysm of the aorta. He died by his own hand on 25 February 1970 in New York City.

Technical Data
The cotton canvas support is attached to the original stretcher (bottom member split) with tacks and staples, and covered with a fine, smooth white ground. Pencil underdrawing is visible. The paint was applied in several layers and varies from very thin washes, allowing the canvas to show through, to medium impasted areas. Certain elements of the design (and the artist's signature) are incised into the wet paint, thus exposing the ground. Dirt and grime cover the unvarnished (overall matte) surface of the painting.

One Frank in, another Frank out
When Frank Thomas signed with Toronto, it became just a matter of time before Frank Catalanotto signed elsewhere. There was little to no chance that the Jays would've put him back into a left-field platoon with Reed Johnson after Johnson's career year in '06 and, obviously, there wouldn't be many at-bats for "Cat" as the DH with Thomas around.
So there you have it: Catalanotto signs with the Rangers. From a personal standpoint, I'm sorry to see Frank leave Toronto. He is a genuinely nice guy and he'll be missed in the clubhouse by his former teammates and by us reporters. We could always count on a quote from Cat or just a good conversation. Needed to know more about an opposing pitcher? Catalanotto was a great source.
I'm sorry to see him go, but Texas we'll be a good spot for him. If Gary Matthews Jr. doesn't re-sign with the Rangers, Catalanotto could get some at-bats as Texas' leadoff hitter and he should get plenty of action in the outfield — more so than he might've with the Jays.
Now, it'll be interesting to see who becomes Toronto's fourth outfielder. That could be Adam Lind, who would provide a much-needed left-handed bat off the bench, but he may begin this season at Triple-A. Lind is definitely a part of the future for Toronto, but it'd be a waste to have him riding the pine at the Rogers Centre when he could continue his development with regular playing time with Syracuse. We'll see what happens.
4 Comments
I'll miss Frank like the deserts miss the rain…. or as my girlfriend calls him… "Otto". Wish him luck in his career.
Glad to see Cat to get another chance to be an everyday player. Glad he was a Jay for four years.
I think Lind should develop in AAA though it looks like he's major-league ready, the outfield is crowded unless Wells is moved.
That said, if Wells is re-signed, when will Lind make it up? Will they try to convert him to an infielder or move Johnson or Rios, which doesn't seem wise either?
If Cubs get Lugo, would see JP trying to get Izterius from Cubs for **** via trade? His defense is stellar and he's only about $3 million with one year left. Wouldn't mind a short-term SS in case Adams reemerges and so Hill can stay at 2B.
Here is my spin. The Jays did what they had to do by keeping the catcher that feels like he has something to prove, plus the pitchers are used to him. The Jays also added a big bat and filled out their starting roster. Now they need to do one more thing that I asked…sign or at least compete for Zito. The Jays gave Burnette $10 million per year; offer Zito $12. If key players did not get hurt last year, the Jays would have been in the thick rather then just competing. Get Zito and the Toronto Bluejays will become front runners in the east. No line-up can compare whether it be offense or pitching. The money is there. Don't worry about short stop. Get that pitcher.

Walnut Tray #0419
Walnut Tray #0419
Dimensions: 24" x 6 3/4" x 1 1/4"
Weight: 2 lb. 4 oz.
All of our pieces are one of a kind and made from locally sourced Virginia Hardwoods. This particular piece is carved from a natural edged-slab of black walnut. This particular piece has a knot missing which makes this piece a work of art.
This tray is hand-rubbed with three coats of natural finish made from flax seed, high density pine rosin, and citrus oils. This finish maximizes grain resolution and helps to illuminate the exquisite character of the wood. The high surface density of the pine rosin allows for more resin per square inch and the finished product is rich in color, durable, and easy to care for (hand wash only; not dishwasher safe).
For more than sixteen years Phoenix Hardwoods has been a family owned and operated business that remains intentionally small so we can ensure the quality of each piece that we handcraft. Our woodworking shop is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Floyd, VA. We make one-of-a-kind furniture and other items from local Virginia hardwoods like walnut, cherry, figured maple, ash, oak, sassafras, sycamore, and locust. We mill all of our slabs here in Floyd. Every piece of wood is properly air-cured (one year per inch of thickness) and then kiln-dried before being worked. Our designs highlight the natural essence of each tree and all of our pieces are superbly finished so they can fit any decor from contemporary homes to rustic log cabins.
We stand behind each piece created in our shop and continually focus on customer satisfaction, attention to detail, and the quality of our work.

Detroit law firm enters Grand Rapids market
A Detroit-based law firm is opening an office in downtown Grand Rapids.
Longtime personal injury attorney Ven Johnson founded Johnson Law in 2011 after leaving Fieger, Fieger, Kenney, Giroux & Danzig, where he had been a partner.
Johnson said that he began the firm in Sterling Heights, before moving into a renovated space at the top of the Buhl Building in downtown Detroit, where the firm continues to reside.
Johnson has grown his one-man firm to 11 attorneys and 12 support staff.
He said that some people thought he was crazy when he took over the 6,000 square-foot space in the Buhl Building, but he was confident he would grow the firm into the space.
Looking west
He said he also knew from day one that he wanted to open a West Michigan office by the end of year two.
"I've always had cases over here, throughout Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, Muskegon and Grand Rapids, and it was something that when I first left, I knew this was something that I was going to do," Johnson said. "We have lots of cases from all over the state of Michigan, but especially over here."
Johnson added, "A lot of times people that do what I do, they say that they have an office — and they just have a dark office that if they ever have a deposition or something, they go there and turn the lights on. This will be a full fledged, fully operating law firm."
Johnson has signed a lease for 4,000 square feet in the Campau Square building, at 99 Monroe Ave. NW.
He noted that the office, which will be renovated in the coming months, will allow for 15 employees.
Johnson Law will open its Grand Rapids doors by the beginning of 2014.
View Larger Map
The practice
Johnson Law will continue to practice exclusively in the area of plaintiff personal injury, covering everything from automobile and trucking negligence, product liability, police misconduct, medical malpractice and more.
Johnson said the benefit of having offices on both the west and east sides of the state is being able to better serve clients.
"What it boils down to is, when you live on the west side of the state, and you have suffered some horrible tragedy, you don't want to go trekking over to Detroit, and you don't want some guy meeting you at a hotel room to handle your case," Johnson said.
"You want somebody who is vested in your community: that's grounded here, that knows the area, that knows the judges and the other lawyers," added Johnson. "You want to have confidence that they are truly experts in what you need in your community. That is one of the major reasons why I want to open and establish an ongoing office here."
West Michigan background
Johnson is a West Michigan native.
He was born in Three Rivers, grew up in Centerville and attended Kalamazoo College.
He said since he has been away, he still makes several visits to the South Haven area to enjoy Lake Michigan.
"I'm really familiar with this side of the state," Johnson said. "I've always loved it."
In addition to Johnson, attorney Victoria L. Marks will work out of the Grand Rapids office.
Marks is originally from Caledonia and has been eager to return to West Michigan.

In the three years since Mubarak's ouster, rallies in the capital have witnessed escalating attacks on women
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's top prosecutor referred 13 men to trial for attempted rape and assault of women during public rallies in Cairo's iconic Tahrir square, the first implementation of tough new penalties against rampant sexual violence, the state news agency reported.
The speedy trial reflects a government push to address the issue, and comes less than a week after the swearing in of Egypt's newly elected President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Harassment has long been a problem in Egypt, but assaults have become more frequent and gruesome over the past three years of turmoil.
Since longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak stepped down in February 2011, rallies in Tahrir have witnessed escalating attacks on women — raising concerns from activists that it was an attempt to keep protesters away from a public square that had become a place of dissent. But authorities did little to combat the phenomena then, and independent groups started initiatives to protect women.
The mob assaults last week caused particular public outcry as they came during celebrations of el-Sissi's inauguration and footage of one brutal attack was widely circulated. That prompted the new leader to make the highest profile condemnation yet of the escalating phenomena and order a crackdown on perpetrators.
El-Sissi visited one of the survivors of the violence, issuing what may be the first presidential apology to a civilian and promising her to take tough actions against the attackers.
The First Lady, in her first official function, also visited to the survivor Friday.
Ebaa el-Tamami, 32, who has been active against sexual harassment, said that while the arrests and referral to trial were good steps, she hoped it was not a one-off instance of finding a "scapegoat" at a time of heightened official attention.
"I hope they get a free and fair trial and don't get (heavy) sentences to make it look like the state is doing something," she said.
Egypt's state news agency MENA said the country's top prosecutor Hesham Barakat referred the 13 men to trial for taking part in at least three separate incidents of sexual assault, including one at the inauguration celebration and one from January 2013. One of the defendants is a minor, aged 14. No date for trial was set yet.
The men are accused of kidnapping the women, assaulting and torturing them, and attempting to murder and rape them. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The news agency said the prosecutor is also investigating the person who shot and uploaded the video of the attack, calling it a "violation of public decency." Egypt asked YouTube to remove a video of the woman being sexually assaulted. YouTube removed copies of the video in which the woman can be identified, but is allowing other versions that blur her image to remain on the site because the company considers them to be newsworthy.
Egypt only recently criminalized sexual harassment, a much lesser charge than that which the 13 men face.
In one of his last decisions before stepping down earlier this month, Adly Mansour, Egypt's interim president and el-Sissi's predecessor, decreed sexual harassment a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. It amended the country's existing laws, which did not criminalize sexual harassment.
Harassers face between six months to five years in prison, with harsher sentences reserved for offenders holding a position of power over their victims, such as being a woman's superior at work or being armed with a weapon.
Offenders would be prosecuted whether they commit harassment in public or in private.
Along with the maximum five-year sentence, offenders can be fined up to $714.
Later Saturday, over 200 demonstrators rallied to call on the state to increase penalties in the law, expand the definition of sexual abuse, investigate all mob assaults and put into law ways to provide help to survivors of assaults and train specialists.
"It is no longer a matter of harassment. They hurt the women. They were harassing with knives," said Ghida Nouri, 31, who came to the protest in a polka-dotted sleeveless sundress with hand prints in red paint on her arms to represent how "bloody" the assaults have become.
In a twist, however, police detained two protesters after they raised a banner demanding that policemen responsible for assaults on women also be held accountable.
During the past three years of protests, women have often complained of harassment by policemen, during the breakup of rallies or during arrests.
Sameh Samir, the lawyer of those in custody, called their detention a "violation of freedom of expression."

They save horses, don't they?
UPDATE: Hey Wilbur, this passed the ag committee on a 5-1 vote.
A Senate committee today will consider a bill that allows Coloradans at income-tax time to donate a portion of their refund to save horses.
The new income tax return checkoff would collect donations for the Colorado Unwanted Horse Alliance.
Taxpayers donated $1.7 million to 14 different checkoffs categories when filling out their 2008 individual state income tax returns last year. The categories ranged from funds for pet overpopulation to homeless prevention to the Special Olympics.
Senate Bill 139 is sponsored by Sen. Ken Kester, R-Las Animas, and Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling.

Matthews wants to play every day — somewhere
Gary Matthews Jr. is determined to play every day, preferably in center field. The Angels — overstocked with quality outfielders – do not appear to have a place for him to do so on a regular basis.
"There comes a time if a decision is made . . . " manager Mike Scioscia said, not finishing the thought. "We've got a lot of bats here. We'll address things in time. We're not going to make a decision today."
Recovered from late October surgery on his left knee, Matthews has been more than impressive in Cactus League play. He has been spectacular.
Matthews' two-run homer against the Padres in Tuesday's 10-5 Angels victory was a tremendous drive to right field that, he later reported, "came within six inches of hitting my Bentley" in the parking lot.
He crushed this one almost as far, he believed, as the one against the White Sox in the new Camelback Ranch-Glendale park that teammates estimated at 450 feet.
Matthews, who doubled in front of Maicer Izturis' three-run homer in his first at-bat, is hitting .412 with 16 total bases in 17 at-bats.
"My play's kind of doing all the talking for me," Matthews said. "My play speaks louder than what I can say to anyone. I wasn't supposed to be back until mid-May, late-May. I'm fine. I'm ready to go back to playing every day."
With Torii Hunter entrenched in center field and Vladimir Guerrero, Bobby Abreu and Juan Rivera ahead of him on the outfield depth chart, Matthews has a hard time seeing consistent playing time coming his way no matter what he does.
He has gone to general manager Tony Reagins and Scioscia to express his desire to play regularly, and they have been candid with him, he said, about their point of view.
"You don't play forever," Matthews said. "I'm 34. Guys take such good care of themselves now. I'm 34. It's not like I'm 24 and have time to sit around and waste years sitting around. That's not what I'm going to do."
That sounds very much like "play me or trade me," a refrain as old as the game itself.
1 Comment
I liek what Matthews brings to the table in his ability both in the outfield as well as what he can potential do at the plate. With the Angels being as stacked as they are right now in nearly every position, I just dont see Matthews getting the consistent playing time that he needs to in order to prove that he is capable of performing at a productive level and that he has overcome his injuries. I was never thrilled about the Angels getting Matthews in the first place, but I know that at the time there was an obvious need for a center fielder that could produce offensively. Unfortunately the Angels took a huge risk by signing Matthews to such a contract based mainly on the production of one good year and so far it has not been a good investment at all. Now that he is healthy and this spring he is fighting to prove that he is ready and capable of performing to the level that the Angels had hoped, unfortunately for him that ship had sailed when the Angels signed Tori, and now with Abreu it aint hapening in left field either.
I dont see much of a future for consistent playing time with the Angels for Gary and the amount of high caliber prospects coming through the farm system, the focus should be on getting these guys playing time. The quality in depth in the Angels Farm system is beyond what I can ever remember recall in more than my twenty years following them. The future of the Angels lies in their youth and that is where the investments need to be made. I like seeing the experienced players on the field such as Figgy, Vlad, Tori, and Abreu. The younger players directly benefit from their leadership and experience.
Matthews has the skills to make a great center fielder for someone, it just does not look like it will be the Angels. The Angels need to get him some playing time to show that he can still perform and then seek potential trades, although I think no matter what the Angels will eat a good chunk of change. The amount owed to Gary is probably more than any team would be willing to accept, but with him riding the pine for the Angels is not a good option either.

How to Supply Information for Your iPad App to the App Store
Apple is very strict about the App Store. Actually uploading your iPad application to the App Store is pretty easy. The hard part is collecting all the little bits of information about your iPad app that you need to enter into all the text fields in the upload page.
iPad app metadata
Here's an overview of the kind of information you need (for more information, click the Prepare for App Submission link in the App Store Resource Center section of the iPhone Dev Center page, shown in this figure):
Application Name: The name must conform to guidelines for using Apple trademarks and copyrights. Apple takes this very seriously.
Application Description: When you go through the process of uploading your data, the field you have to paste this into will say you're limited to 4,000 characters. Apple suggests no more than 700. Don't include HTML tags; they will be stripped out when the data is uploaded. Only line breaks are respected.
Device: Choose iPad.
Primary Category: A drop-down menu offers the primary category choices for your app — choose one.
Secondary Category: Optional. You're offered the same categories that you see for the Primary Category.
Rating Information: Set the rating for your app for the purpose of parental controls on the App Store. You may see content types such as Cartoon or Fantasy Violence, Simulated Gambling, Mature/Suggestive Themes, and so on. For each type of content, you need to describe the level of frequency for that content — None, Infrequent/Mild, Frequent/Intense.
Apple has strict rules stating that an app must not contain any obscene, pornographic, or offensive content.
Copyright: Use a line such as © Copyright your name 2010. All rights reserved. You can type the copyright symbol by pressing Option-G.
If you have any questions about copyright registration, talk to your lawyer or check out the U.S. Copyright Office Web site.
Version Number: People usually start with 1.0. Then, while you update the app to respond to suggestions and constructive criticism, you can move on to 1.1 and eventually version 2.0.
SKU Number: The Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) number is any alphanumeric sequence of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies your app in the system. (Be warned — you can't edit this number after you submit it.)
Keywords: Keywords describe your app and are matched to App Store searches. Spend some time on this one. Keywords can be changed only when you submit a new version of your app or if the app status is Rejected.
Support URL and Company URL: A support URL appears on the app product page at the App Store — this is the link users will click if they need technical support from you or have a question about your app. You also need a company URL, which also appears on the app product page and enables potential customers to find out more about you.
After you've assigned these URLs, keep them unchanged for as long as possible, even if you change the Web site's contents, because people bookmark them.
Support E-Mail Address: This address, which only Apple uses, will likely be the one you used when you registered for the developer program.
Demo Account — Full Access: A test account that the App Store reviewers can use to test your app. Include usernames, passwords, access codes, demo data, and so on. You should include any messages to the Apple app reviewers, in case they might incorrectly reject something.
End User License Agreement: Optional. This legal document spells out to your app's users what they're agreeing to do in order to use your app. Fortunately, the iTunes Store has a standard agreement, which has been time-tested — but you should read it anyway before you use it.
Availability Date: When your app will be available for download (for free apps) or purchase-and-download.
Application Price: Free is easier, but you can get paid (what a concept) for all the work you did getting your app to the public.
Localization: Additional languages (besides English) for your metadata. You can have your text and images in Italian for Italian-speaking stores, for example.
App Store Availability: The territories in which you want to make your app available. (The default is all countries that iTunes supports.)
iPad app artwork
A picture is worth a thousand words, so the App Store gives you the opportunity to dazzle your app's potential users with some nice imagery:
iPad Home Screen Icon: Your built app must include an icon sized at 72 x 72 pixels, which is displayed on the iPad home screen. You also need to supply a smaller version of this icon, at 48 x 48 pixels, for display in Spotlight search results and in the Settings application (if you provide settings).
Large Application Icon: Used to display your app on your App Store page and other App Store pages. It needs to meet the following requirements, although the version you see in the App Store is resized by Apple:
512 x 512 pixels (a square image)
72 dots-per-inch (dpi)
JPEG or TIFF format (saved without separate layers)
Primary Screenshot: Used on your application product page in the App Store. Apple doesn't want you to include the iPad status bar in your screenshot.
Additional Artwork: Optional. If you're really lucky, you may be included on featured pages in the App Store. Apple will want "high-quality layered artwork with a title treatment for your application," which will then be used in small banners to feature your app in the App Store.
Banking information
If you're going to charge for your app, you have to provide some banking information. To change this information after you've entered it, you have to e-mail iTunes technical support (it behooves you to get it right the first time):
Bank name
Bank address
Account number
Branch/Branch ID
ABA/Routing Transit Number
Your bank SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) code

But with the latest cloud offering from IBM, the value proposition is quite simple—you get a low-cost, low-risk entry to cloud computing with compelling features. This is especially important for organizations who are still trying to leverage the cost savings of virtualization.
Our customers have told us they're looking to cloud computing to increase agility—the ability of IT to evolve and meet business needs—and they're looking for ways to control expenses related to IT investments. They also want to reduce IT complexity while at the same time increase utilization, reliability and scalability of IT resources. And they are looking for the ability to expand capabilities gradually, as their needs change and grow.
In designing a solution to meet all of these needs, we developed IBM SmartCloud Provisioning. Using industry best practices for cloud deployment and management, this new solution allows organizations to quickly deploy cloud resources with automated provisioning, parallel scalability and integrated fault tolerance to increase operational efficiency and respond to user needs.
The name doesn't tell the whole story though. IBM SmartCloud Provisioning is a full-featured solution wrapped up in an easy-to-implement package. That means you get:
- Rapidly scalable deployment designed to meet business growth
- Reliable, non-stop cloud capable of automatically tolerating and recovering from software and hardware failures
- Reduced complexity through ease of use and improve time to value
- Reduced IT labor resources with self-service requesting and highly automated operations
- Control over image sprawl and reduced business risk through rich analytics, image versioning and federated image library features
Using this technology, we've seen customers get a cloud up and running in just hours—realizing immediate time to value. It's fast—administrators have been able to go from bare metal to ready-for-work in under five minutes, or start a single VM and load OS in under 10 seconds, or scale up to 50,000 VMs in an hour (50 nodes).
But ultimately, these IT benefits have translated to business benefits—customers have been able to see how cloud computing can impact their business, and how they can accelerate the delivery of new services to drive revenue.
With the new release of IBM SmartCloud Provisioning this week, you can try and see firsthand the potential of this breakthrough technology to accelerate your journey to cloud. And if you want a preview of what's in development, you can join our Open Beta program for access to beta-level code.

This site is gona do it for You:
Here You can browse by chord type and see chord shape on fretboard, or enter the fret numebers or x - and find a chord name.
This is a basic to intermediate chord site, You won't find any advanced voicings there.
Chorderator lets you look up chord shapes by name, names by shape, and scales, in any tuning.
I use this one:
Don't let the url fool you, this little tool can give you chords and scales for most stringed instrument.
Very handy. :-)
The iPhone app Guitar Toolkit is awesome for this type of chord search. You can plot the exact fingering and it will tell you what chord you have. This differs from most chord lookup sites and apps in that you don't have to search through a bunch of chords to identify the one you are looking for.
Find it here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/guitartoolkit/id284962368?mt=8
There may be some other resources out there to look up chords in this "reverse engineering" approach, but this app is something I started using when it first came out and is a good all in one tool for a number of things.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/top/top100.htm and http://www.hotfrets.com/chordfinder.asp are the best guitar website, I know so far.
pretty cool! Hope will help you!

The three Rotary clubs of Oak Ridge are combining forces to launch the first Oak Ridge Dragon Boat Festival, to be held May 17, 2014, at the Oak Ridge Marina and Pavilion in Melton Lake Park.
The three Rotary clubs of Oak Ridge are combining forces to launch the first Oak Ridge Dragon Boat Festival, to be held May 17, 2014, at the Oak Ridge Marina and Pavilion in Melton Lake Park.
"The purpose of the festival is to provide a venue for dragon boat races, offer food and musical entertainment and raise funds for a special project and nonprofit service organizations in the community," said Oak Ridge City Manager Mark Watson, president of the Rotary Club of Oak Ridge.
The boat-racing event, launched by OARS in the Water, will celebrate Oak Ridge's waterfront and signature rowing venue. OARS stands for the Oak Ridge Association of Rotarians. The other two clubs are the Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary and Oak Ridge Sunset Rotary clubs.
A dragon boat is a long, low boat adorned with a snarling dragonhead at the boat's front end, as in the Chinese tradition. Dragon boat races have become popular events in many U.S. cities, ranging in size from Philadelphia to Knoxville.
This all-day Dragon Boat Festival race will be an entertaining competition among teams of 20 persons each — 18 paddlers, a caller and a steerer. The teams will come from community employers and organizations, many of which are signing up to become corporate sponsors of the event.
The goal of OARS in the Water is to turn this inaugural boat race into an annual fundraising festival that will build up the Oak Ridge Rotary Community Fund [501(c)3] and meet needs in the community in legacy projects for the community and in educational, children's and health programs.
"All proceeds from the event will stay in the Oak Ridge area," said Tony Jordan, president of the Oak Ridge Sunset Rotary Club. "The funds will support literacy projects, science fairs, musical organizations and local nonprofit service organizations such as the Free Medical Clinic, Boys and Girls Club, Girls Inc., and Children's Museum."
OARS contracted with Dynamic Dragon Boat Racing LLC, of Knoxville to operate the races safely and provide the dragon boats, other equipment and training. The company has successfully managed races in Alabama, Arkansas, Montana and Tennessee.
Event sponsorship levels are $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000. The entry fee for one dragon boat team is $750.
"This festival should be a great event that brings the community together for fun while raising funds to benefit the community," said Sue Anne Lewis, president of the Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club.
The organizing committee includes members of all three Rotary clubs, and the leaders are Jim Sumner, Keith Kahl and Leslie England. For more information, contact Leslie England at email@example.com or 865-318-1910.

For GOP, 'reflection and recalibration'
For all the hand-wringing about the tea party's outsize influence and the weak central GOP leadership from Washington, the Republican shellacking in the Senate largely came down to this: Democratic candidates in red and blue states alike were smarter, savvier and carried less baggage than their Republican rivals.
"Bad tea party candidates won primaries in some places, and the [National Republican Senatorial Committee] recruited bad establishment candidates in others," said Jordan Gehrke, a GOP campaign consultant involved in several Senate campaigns. "They were supposed to be perfect scenarios and they simply were not. The one thing they have in common: bad candidates. Add that in with the inherent difficulty of a presidential [election] and it made for a rough night."
Story Continued Below
The GOP not only lost virtually every competitive race hosted in a battleground state, it also fumbled away a pair of seats in reddening Montana and North Dakota.
The result is a likely Democratic net gain of two seats — assuming Maine's Angus King caucuses with the majority — and a shellshocked Republican Party that will spend the ensuing months ruminating about how it blew its chances.
There's plenty of blame to spread around.
Even NRSC Chairman John Cornyn didn't mince words about the need for all wings of the party to undergo a thorough self-examination.
"We have a period of reflection and recalibration ahead for the Republican Party. While some will want to blame one wing of the party over the other, the reality is candidates from all corners of our GOP lost tonight. Clearly, we have work to do in the weeks and months ahead," Cornyn said in a statement after it became clear how poorly Republicans fared.
Sure, there were the obvious blown chances in Indiana and Missouri — where ideologically purist nominees self-immolated by delivering offensive comments far outside the mainstream.
But Rep. Todd Akin's thumping at the hands of Sen. Claire McCaskill suggests he may have been doomed even if he hadn't made his infamous August remark about "legitimate rape."
And it's unfair to pin the blame on the tea party for losses in Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida.
In those states, the much-maligned Republican "establishment" got the candidates it wanted. But many were either inherently flawed from the start or underwhelming as political talents.
Montana GOP Rep. Denny Rehberg had sued his own hometown fire department and was burdened by his involvement in a boating accident in which the driver's blood alcohol content was at least twice the legal limit. Compare that with Sen. Jon Tester, the affable dirt farmer who played up his local work assisting veterans and adding rural health clinics.
North Dakota Republican Rep. Rick Berg's charges that Democrat Heidi Heitkamp would be a lackey of the Obama administration largely fell flat because of the force of Heitkamp's winning personality. "There is no one like her that really gets what it's like in rural America," Washington Sen. Patty Murray, chairwoman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said of Heitkamp.
The backslapping former attorney general was a master at winning over a room whereas Berg came across stiff, awkward and paranoid.
"You can get away with being a jerk in a bigger state. In a smaller state, people know it," said a Democratic operative who pointed to Berg's and Rehberg's high unfavorability numbers.
