As someone who has done it, got the T-shirt and wept the tears, Roger Federer yesterday had only sympathy and encouragement for Scot Andy Murray, the man he had condemned to a fourth successive Grand Slam final defeat at Wimbledon a day earlier.
"I've been there," Federer said. "I know how it feels. I think he won over a lot of people and the hearts of the fans because of the emotions he showed in Australia and now again here. I think it does show that we are human.
"I know we put on a poker face out there when we play and we try hard and smash serves and balls.
"Of course our hearts are broken, obviously for Andy in a big way. But he's still got so many years left. And the opportunities will come around if he has a good mental focus for the full year," said the 30-year-old Swiss.
Federer recalled one of the moments when he cried in public, after losing to Rafael Nadal in the final of the 2009 Australian Open.
"In the first moment, you just put your head down and go: 'Man, that was so close.' And you have to wait a year [for another chance]? Are you serious?
"You're disappointed because you've played some of your best, greatest tennis. There can only be one winner, but sometimes you wish it could be two.
"Then you're like: 'All right, I'll handle this.' And you walk out and 15,000 people feel bad for you. Next thing you know it's a bit awkward.
"That's the hard part. You'd be happy just to stand there, hold the trophy, take pictures, sign autographs, no problem. But then to have to talk and speak, that's the hard part," he said.
Monday's victory was Federer's 17th in a Grand Slam final, extending his own record. Considering it was his first Grand Slam triumph for 2 years and took him back to No1 in the world rankings for the first time for more than two years, did he regard it as his greatest triumph?
"I don't know, but looking back this is definitely a special place in my heart because there were so many components to making this one unique," he said. "I was aware of it before the match, during and after and today again."
In less than three weeks, Federer will return to the All England Club for the Olympic tournament.
Although he won doubles gold in Beijing in 2008 playing alongside Stanislas Wawrinka, Federer suffered surprising singles defeats in all three of his previous Olympic appearances, to Arnaud Di Pasquale (in the bronze medal match in Sydney), to Tomas Berdych (in the second round in Athens) and to James Blake (in the quarter-finals in Beijing).
"Right after Beijing I thought: 'It's going to be incredible to be playing the Olympics at Wimbledon.' That's how I feel right now, but I realised that having an Olympic gold in Beijing was going to take a lot of pressure off me in London.
"I thought it was going to increase with people talking about it, because it's one of the three big goals of the season.
"I've played 50 to 60 slams in my career, but it doesn't change the fact I hope I do well at the Olympics and savour the experience."

Q&A: Dora Zúñiga of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County
By Brennan Nardi
Describe one way a child's life is enriched by being a Little.
It means so much to so many of our Littles, just knowing they have a friend who sees them because they want to see them, not because they have to see them. A Little's life is enhanced by the power of the care and support they receive from their Big. And of course, in the process, the Big is equally inspired by the power of their relationship with their Little.
How much time, money and resources does it take to be a Big?
I wish that people would stop over thinking the whole idea of being a Big. If Madison is home and you're pretty sure you're not leaving, please consider becoming involved. We have two programs that both require a two year commitment. In one, you meet at school over the lunch hour or after school. In our traditional program the day and time is flexible; ideally we'd like for you to meet once a week especially in the beginning to really cement the friendship. However, we know that reality exists, so we always tell our Bigs to focus on quality over quantity. It's perfectly fine to meet three times in a month because one of your activities involved going to Devil's Lake. Activities should not all require money. We are blessed to have tons of free activities that we encourage our Matches to take advantage of around Dane County. Ultimately, the most meaningful part of the relationship for Littles is that their Big cared enough to be there consistently. It didn't matter what they did together what mattered was that the Big was there.
What's the best (or worse/or both) advice you've ever received?
The best advice I ever received was the suggestion that I join a service club. Early on in my career my mentor, Karl Kellor, said to me that real grown-ups join service clubs and learn to golf. Karl was right about joining a service club. I've been a member of Downtown Rotary for almost twenty years. It's one of the great investments of my time because I continue to learn through our programs and we do a lot of great things in our community. Now the golfing part, well, I'm not sure about that piece of advice. Maybe when I'm retired I'll try it.
What goal are you currently working on?
My number-one goal is to increase the number of children who graduate from high school in Dane County and help all of our kids break the cycle of poverty. Mentoring is a highly successful strategy to accomplish this because we attack the root cause of poverty. Rather than temporarily treating a symptom, our Bigs are working with children to define a path that leads them out of poverty. We want the kids in our program to have children of their own who have the opportunity to be kids all the time, not just a few hours a month. We accomplish our goal one child at a time. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County has a one hundred percent graduation rate for Littles; a majority of whom go on to higher education following high school. We invite families to join us by becoming donors and becoming Big Families—yes, families can mentor together.
What's your favorite work of art?
I love anything by Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Mary Cassatt. These particular artists speak to me because their works deal with real life, community and children. Additionally, art is a great way for me to learn about my Mexican heritage.
What do you wish you could tell your twenty-year-old self?
Like most women I would tell my twenty-year-old self to learn to take care of herself first so that I could effectively take care of everything else on my plate. Specifically, make the time to acquire the habit of daily exercise and time to pray.
Who's been your greatest inspiration?
I am inspired every day by the young people in our program who—with the help of their Bigs—are making great choices. I am especially proud of Keraa McCants who, with the help and guidance of her Big Sister Ann Staniforth, made a lot of really good choices and is currently a freshman at Edgewood College. Keraa inspires me because she doesn't take anything for granted. She has a phenomenal work ethic and is determined to take full advantage of her college opportunity.
What's top on your bucket list?
I don't have a traditional bucket list. My goal is to someday be a very active grandma—someday far off into the future. In the meantime, I strive to live fully in the moment, be grateful for the opportunities I do have, to travel and to try as many new things as possible.
What's the best reason to stay up late?
To share a laugh while watching Jimmy Kimmel with my daughter, Ariana. Or simply to catch up on the day, while playing with our two doggies as a familia.
What would you change about Madison?
I would love for Madison to recognize that the issues we are facing in regard to our children achieving academically is not a race issue but simply an issue of economic disparity that exists in our community. We all need to stop looking for an instant solution. It will cost serious money, in the short-term, to address the complex issues that we see. That investment, though, will lead to huge dividends in the future. Let's stop talking and start investing our time our talent and, yes, our treasure so that we can start providing a richness of opportunities to everyone in our community. Our kids deserve our support.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
It's been eight weeks since my husband and I began eating more healthfully and exercising regularly, and the scales are showing good results. Charlie has lost 15 pounds and I've dropped 12. My goal was to lose the weight slowly – about a pound a week – so I'm a bit ahead of schedule.
We've cut out fried foods, fast food, soft drinks and seconds, and downsized our portions. For breakfast, we eat on appetizer plates and for supper, we eat on salad plates. By taking our lunch to work every day – leftovers with side salads – we've saved calories and money.
I am motivated.
One thing that's kept us going these past two months is the variety of recipes we've been trying. I'd venture to say we're preparing two to three new recipes each week.
We find them in cookbooks, newspapers and online, and we share them through the computer or the smart phone. Some days, Charlie and I go back and forth three or four times before we decide on the evening meal.
Early on in January, I invested in some spices for some dishes, so I try to find recipes that use those ingredients again. There's no point in letting a $6 bottle of cardamom just sit in the cabinet until it's too old to use.
We made this salmon dish about a month ago and everyone – including teenage son, Patrick – enjoyed it. I served it over our new favorite rice, basmati, with a side of steamed broccoli dressed with a little melted butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Sweet Orange Salmon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1⁄2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground coriander
1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄8 teaspoon cardamom
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
Preheat broiler. Combine spices in a small bowl and rub mixture over both sides of salmon. Place fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Serves 4.

Publisher's Note
THE following letter was written by Mrs. Cronwright Schreiner (Olive Schreiner) in October, 1908, in reply to twelve questions submitted to her by the Editor of the Transvaal Leader, and it appeared in that journal on December 22.
On February 9, 1909, the National Convention for the Union of the four South African Colonies, after four months' deliberation at Durban and Cape Town, published a draft of the suggested Constitution (printed here in The Times of February 10), on which the several Parliaments of the South African States will deliberate on March 30. In May the Convention reassembles, and in June it submits its final draft to the Parliaments, after which a Committee of Delegates proceeds to England to facilitate the passing of the Act.
The opinion of a South African authority of such high repute as Olive Schreiner cannot fail to be of interest at this time, and it will be seen that on several capital matters (the Native Question, Federation, the Seat of Government, to mention the principal) her views differ from the draft Constitution. And wise as that is, and widely as it has been praised, there is still time and room for beneficial alteration in the respects mentioned. The fate of the native question alone involves the fate of South Africa, possibly the fate of the British Empire; and it is before all things imperative that the rights and liberties of the native shall be fully safeguarded.
But it is principally in the belief that the general principles of sound and honourable government herein expressed will have importance and value when the Unification or Federation of the South African States has long passed into history, that this letter is now presented to the English public, by special arrangement with the author.

ApacheCon was, as expected, excellent. We had a special "Hackathon" event before the conference (something we started doing at the London conference). I had volunteered a very cool space in the Apple campus for the Hackathon before I left Apple, and some folks at Apple we very cool to make sure we still were OK to use the room. The Hackathon is a great thing because the ASF contributors work together primarily via email, and the opportunity to get everyone in one room to hash out architectural and other issues is invaluable. A lot got done in those two days.
While at the conference, I finally had the time to commit some of the Darwin patches into the PHP repository. Still some work to be done there, but it was good progress. I also put some work into httpd 2.0. The first Beta release went out last week, though (despite the press release) it does not build on Darwin/Mac OS. I do have it building now, but Darwin lacks pthead_sigmask(), which means that signal delivery in the threaded MPM is still wonky.
I recently released an app called DropScript. DropScript is a little application that I wrote as a demo for the BSD in Mac OS talk I gave at WWDC last year. Basically, it lets you drop any program onto it which takes files as command line arguments and creates a new application from that program. Generally, these programs are scripts written in sh, perl, etc. So you can now write a shell script like so:
gzip -9 "$@"
Then call the script "GZip.sh", drop that file onto DropScript, and out pops DropGZip.app next to GZip.sh. When you drop files onto DropGZip, it compresses the files for you.
DropScript is one of my favorite hacks for two reasons. First, it's pretty cool functionality, and very easy to use. Second, it's a shockingly simple program. Check out the source code for yourself. It's a great example of how you can use Cocoa (the Objective-C application framework in Mac OS X) and use that to provide BSD functionality to users without making them use the relatively arcane command line, which is why it was a good demo for my talk.

The latest Insider has an awesome article on Genndy Tartakovsky and his upcoming Clone Wars cartoon. Also, there's new Clone Wars fiction by Mr Star Wars himself, Timothy Zahn, and an article on the upcoming Shatterpoint novel and the next Clone Wars comic mini-series.

But perhaps most importantly: the photos of Carrie Fisher in the SW films remind us all how incredibly cute she was when she filmed these movies. Padmé Amidala, eat your heart out.

Louisville has about 600,000 people and is most famous for Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby is a famous thoroughbred horse race held annually, a race that Her Majesty the Queen visited in 2007. The Kentucky Derby festival is largely an excuse to enjoy the summer sun, bet life savings on "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports," adorn your head with overly large hats, and drink mint juleps.
Louisville essentially formed because the location near the Falls of the Ohio River. Ships would have to stop before reading the Falls of the Ohio, and, thus, Louisville grew. Louisville rose to prominence due to the slave trade. Of course, after the Civil War, Louisville focused more on agriculture and manufacturing, especially during WWII. Today, Louisville is home to many corporate headquarters.
I also included some pictures in this entry as well of a previous visit to Louisville since my visit this time was so short.

I want to see Nelson UNLEASHED!
I want to see Nelson UNLEASHED!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I'm surprised we haven't yet. He looks about ready to snap. And his run-in with the corrupt fed is going to make him question what he thought he knew about the system, so methinks he's going to be O'Banion's baddest enforcer since he'll no longer care about right and wrong.
That's my jacket!
Calling it right now: Based on Harrow's discussion with Nucky and Nucky's recurring nightmare, Rosetti is going to kill or harm one of Nucky's adopted kids, probably his son. Harrow, probably without even being asked by Nucky, is going to end this irritating b*****d in short order.
Rosetti is the only thing about this show I hate, but I love that he's going to be dead meat probably by the end of this season.
That's my jacket!
That's what I like about the Rosetti character: you just love to hate him! He's an extraordinary creep!
I agree....someone's going to build a book case with him.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Factor in that Rosetti's cozying up to Jillian, and Harrow hates Jillian for trying to make her grandson forget Angela ever existed, and I'd say it's 110% certain that Harrow will be firmly on Nucky's side by the end of Season 3. His saying he didn't blame Nucky for Jimmy's death because Jimmy was a soldier and chose his path kinda reinforces that.
And it's always awesome to see Doyle get his comeuppance, even if he somehow manages to survive.
But, yes, I foresee much buildin' of bookcases in the very near future.
That's my jacket!
Keeping Owen "in line"...do you also think Nucky suspects any shenanigans with Margaret, too?
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Not sure. It looks like it may be a moot point now.
Last night's episode was stellar. I loved the way they set it up as if Rothstein and his crew were doing the exact opposite of what they were up to. I was fooled up until I realized who the gunman was, I'll admit it--and, until this was reported to Nucky, I suspected it was Luciano going behind Rothstein's back for his own reasons.
Nucky's affair with Billie is disastrous. It's harming his relationships with Margaret, Eddie, and Rothstein. I'm willing to bet she's going to die when Rosetti gets his revenge.
Good to finally see a payoff developing in the Van Alden/O'Bannion subplot. That man's going to wind up dirtier than any of the bootleggers he once chased.
But, really, I could've lived a happy life without ever seeing Little Rosetti.
That's my jacket!
Really enjoyed the scene between Esther Randolph and Nucky at breakfast at the diner. Wonderfully written dialogue!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Well, I expected what happened at the end of tonight's episode to happen, just a bit later in the season. Oh, there will definitely be some bookcases not getting built next week. (Though I think the teaser's implication that Rothstein, Torrio, and Rosetti are all gunning for Nucky is a big old red herring.)
Not quite sure where the hospital subplot is going. I hope it gets wherever it's going soon, though. Definitely have a feeling that Owen, Harrow, and Chalky are going to be the big wild cards in what's coming down. Not sure that all of them are going to make it.
I can't remember for sure: when Van Alden was in Atlantic City, did he ever encounter Capone?
That's my jacket!

Susan Foerster received her BS and MPH degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work began in Boston where she coordinated nutrition services in the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods. She joined the California Department of Health in 1973 with Licensing and Certification and was promoted to lead nutrition development for adult health in 1976. She worked in aging, hypertension, diabetes control, health promotion and cancer prevention. Her experience starting large initiatives began in 1988 with the California 5 a Day—for Better Health! Campaign. Adopted by the federal government and the nation's fruit and vegetable industry in 1991, the National 5 A Day Program has been emulated by at least 25 countries. In 1996, she started the California Nutrition Network for Healthy, Active Families, now the largest state social marketing network of the USDA Food Stamp Program. She continued spinning off the Children's 5 a Day—Power Play! Campaign, the Latino 5 a Day Campaign, the California African American Campaign, along with retail and worksite initiatives. Her team of over 100 highly skilled professionals is rebranding these initiatives as the Network for a Healthy California—Champions for Change. The Network helps 7 million low-income parents and children eat more fruits and vegetables, get daily physical activity, and increase the availability of healthy, fresh food and safe daily physical activity to help reduce obesity. They work through USDA's Food Stamp Program. From its beginnings of 4 local projects in 1996 to a regional infrastructure with 180 projects, the programs have resulted in fruit and vegetable consumption rising in low-income Californians, a departure from national trends.
After serving on the board of the American Cancer Society and with the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Progress in Preventing Childhood Obesity, Foerster continues as the public member of the California Table Grape Commission and on the Executive Board of the California Dialog on Cancer. She was selected as a "Healthy School Hero" by the White House Conference on Healthy School Environments. She serves on the Action Board of the American Public Health Association and on the Partnership Steering Committee for the National Fruit and Vegetable Program.

News & Announcements
Centenary to Continue "Community Plunge" Tradition on Monday, August 26, 2013
Hackettstown, N.J.– Centenary College will continue its longstanding commitment to community service when the Class of 2017 carries forth one of the institution's primary missions by engaging in "Community Plunge" from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, August 26, 2013.
Centenary College has long been known for its innovative approach to education, and in 1990, the institution became the first college in New Jersey to introduce community service as a required part of its curriculum.
On August 26, there will be a wide variety of locations and activities where first-year students will volunteer their time; most of them are local nonprofits.
"There is a strong emphasis on incorporating community service into the Centenary experience," says Tiffany Kushner, Senior Director of Student Engagement at Centenary College. "Community Plunge is designed to help students acclimate to the campus community, plus help instill the benefits of volunteerism in them."
The community plunge sites include the following:
• America's Grow-A-Row (Pittstown, N.J.) – Volunteers will pick produce at Peaceful Valley Orchard. The food will all be donated to food pantries in the surrounding area in an effort to help families in need get fresh, healthy food.
• Blairstown Group Home (Blairstown, N.J.) – Students will aid staff in running recreational programs for the residents at the Blairstown Group Home or spend quality time with them.
• Bristol Glen Retirement Home (Newton, N.J.) – Students will aid staff in running recreational programs for the residents at Bristol Glen or spend quality time with them.
• Camp Clover (Warren, N.J.) – Students will aid counselors in executing activities for this bereavement camp for teenagers.
• Centenary Community Garden (Hackettstown, N.J.) – The students will weed and clean up the garden, followed by a short educational session explaining the groups that are involved in the garden's continued success.
• Centenary Equestrian Center (Long Valley, N.J.) – Equine students have the option of going to work with the Equestrian Center, with an orientation on how to get involved in the Therapeutic Riding Program offered through the Center.
• Hackettstown Main Street (Hackettstown, N.J.) - Students will clean and refurbish various communal spaces on Main Street. In addition, the students will receive a mini-tour of the downtown businesses to help acquaint them with their new home.
• Hatchery Hill Elementary School (Hackettstown, N.J.) – Students will help teachers prepare classrooms for the start of the academic year, plus they will aid administration with office work.
• House of the Good Shepherd (Hackettstown, N.J.) – Volunteers will work one-on- one with senior residents in a variety of settings to play a part in enriching their lives.
• Matheny Medical and Educational Center (Gladstone, N.J.) - Volunteers will help with an event happening at the School for Children with Disabilities.
• NORWESCAP Food Bank (Phillipsburg, N.J.) – Students will work a shift at the food bank, sorting and packing food for the Warren County area.
• Post House Foster Care (Chester, NJ) – Volunteers will help the Post family with an array of cleanup and renovation projects on the property.
• Rutherford Hall (Allamuchy, N.J.) – Students will help maintain the grounds of the historic location in preparation for upcoming events.
• Trinity United Methodist Church (Hackettstown, N.J.) – Students will assist the staff at Trinity Methodist Church clean and maintain its food pantry, kitchen, thrift shop and church.
• USET- United States Equestrian Team Foundation (Gladstone, N.J.) – Students will be doing light maintenance work at the facility.
• Warren Haven Nursing Home (Oxford, N.J.) – Students will aid staff in running recreational programs for the residents at Warren Haven or spend quality time with them.
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.
Centenary College's main campus is located in Hackettstown, N.J., with its equestrian facility in Washington Township (Morris County). The Centenary College School of Professional Studies offers degree programs in two locations: Parsippany and Edison, and at corporate sites throughout New Jersey.

text: I bought my first miniature piece today, the Ringwraith on horse set for 11.95 CDN at my comic store. They had most of the riders: Gandalf, Aragorn, wraiths, wargs, etc. They had a few army builder packs - Rohorrim, Moria Orcs - but no Khazad Dun playset. Still not sure Im going to collect these, but I wanted the dark rider just for display. He doesn't do much, but the sword can be removed from his hand. Nice detail, including a couple of nasty bloody scratches on the steed!

Muldoon to receive Shakespeare Prize
Posted September 9, 2004; 10:08 a.m.
Princeton poet Paul Muldoon has been named the recipient of the 2004 Shakespeare Prize.
The prize, one of the oldest awarded by Alfred Toepfer Stiftung Foundation of Hamburg, Germany, is given every year for outstanding contributions to the European cultural heritage in English-speaking countries. It is presented in the fields of art, literature and humanities and is worth 20,000 euros.
The prize is associated with a scholarship worth 11,040 euros for a promising young artist, nominated by the prize-winner, enabling him or her to study at a German college or university for one year. This year's Shakespeare scholarship goes to Merlene Griffin of Portadown, Northern Ireland.
Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities at Princeton, will attend the awards ceremony Sept. 17 in Hamburg and give a reading of his work.
Muldoon was born in Northern Ireland and moved to the United States in 1987. He joined the Princeton faculty as a lecturer in 1990 and was named a full professor in 1995. He directed the University's Program in Creative Writing from 1993 until 2002. In 1999, he was elected to also serve as a professor of poetry at the University of Oxford.
In 2003, Muldoon won the Pulitzer Prize for "Moy Sand and Gravel," his 25th volume of poetry and the ninth collection of his poems. A fellow of both the Royal Society of Literature and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he was given an American Academy of Arts and Letters award in literature in 1996. His other awards include the 1994 T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry and the 1997 Irish Times Poetry Prize.
Muldoon's other collections of poetry are "New Weather" (1973), "Mules" (1977), "Why Brownlee Left" (1980), "Quoof" (1983), "Meeting the British" (1987), "Madoc: A Mystery" (1990), "The Annals of Chile" (1994), "Hay" (1998) and "Poems 1968-1998" (2001). He also has published in the fields of drama, literary criticism, translation and children's literature. His work has been the subject of readings, lectures, conference papers and theses by students and scholars from around the globe.

Venue: Mandalay Bay Theatre
3950 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: Ongoing
Show Times: Fri - Tue 7pm & 9:30pm
Age Restriction: 5
Starting at $90.16
In Cirque du Soleil's latest creation, four misfits get sucked into a magical world inspired by the music and imagination of Michael Jackson.
Throughout the show, our four heroes are encouraged by Jackson as they each wear an iconic piece of his wardrobe – glove, shoes, hat and sunglasses.
While the show features innovative new Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, cutting-edge video and light effects, state-of-the art surround-sound environment and amazing dance numbers, the star of the show is Michael Jackson.
Throughout the performance Jackson appears both aurally and visually. The theater's stage and walls have been transformed to create the most dynamic and immersive video displays to be experienced in Las Vegas. GPS trackers allow to the show to project video anywhere, even on the performers.
"Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil" showcases re-mastered versions of Jackson's hits. Separate groups of speakers plus in-seat speakers, three in each chair, create a layered audio effect like a true Jackson concert experience.
The audio and visual surprises grow throughout the performance, culminating in a unique visual illusion that allows Jackson to dance with the cast in a performance of "Man In The Mirror."
Acts set to "Bad," "Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean" combine Cirque du Soleil's acrobatic strengths, stunning visual work, Jackson's dance and music, to create a synthesis that pays tribute to Jackson's amazing artistic performances. While numbers performed to "Human Nature," "They Don't Care About Us," "Planet Earth / Earth Song" and "Man in the Mirror," best capture the spirit of Jackson's philosophy that "We're all one."
Other memorable songs including "Beat It," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin," "Dirty Diana," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Thriller," "Black or White" and more (roughly 30) are presented.
"Michael Jackson ONE" is designed for the Mandalay Bay Theatre by director Jamie King, who masterminded "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour." The production is a fresh creation, developed in consultation with the Michael Jackson estate and committed to honoring the artist's legacy by staying true to Jackson's spirit as a performer and a person.

Video: Watch Princess Diana's first royal speech (on this page)
"I'm only sorry that William can't be here today," she said during her first-ever solo speech, at a children's hospital in Ipswich, England. She meant that she would have liked her husband to see the charity, East Anglias' Children's Hospices, for which she is patron. But she must have been wishing he was there to hold her hand, too.
Story: The Duchess's speech: Kate gives first public address
30 years ago, in 1981, Charles accompanied Diana for her first speech. Back then, the new Princess of Wales was very different from the confident and grown-up woman her son has married. But today, you felt Kate is still learning the lessons of Diana's life.
When Princess Diana gave her first speech, she looked daunted. The setting was a grand chamber full of men. Diana spoke fast and under her breath. She even recited some Welsh, making the task yet more difficult.
Story: Royal family bonding: Kate getting close to Wills' kin
Kate chose to speak at a childrens charity, a far more relaxed setting. She wrote the speech herself, I'm told. Like Diana, she kept it simple. She wore a dress borrowed from her mom, perhaps for good luck.
One more similarity: Both Kate and Diana wore blue for their first speech. That is perhaps Kate's small tribute to the woman who walked this path before her, so many years ago.

National Preserve
Timeless Rivers of Interior Alaska
In the deep Interior of Alaska the great Yukon River strikes through bluffs and mountains of an ancient landscape to unmask rocks whose histories reach back a billion years to life's beginnings on Earth. Axis of the region, the silt-laden Yukon here flows constricted and swift through a great geologic fault. Side-streams tumble from the hinterlands—further passageways long inviting human traffic. Chief among these crystal rivers are the Charley, the Kandik, and the Nation. Flowing first through upland valley, then through stream-cut valley, and finally onto mature floodplain, the Charley offers spectacular unspoiled wilderness scenery.
Arising at some 4,000 feet elevation, it empties into the Yukon only 700 feet above sea level, for an average gradient of 31 foot per mile and average current of 4 to 6 miles per hour. Side-streams have worn away old heights, softening the shapes of all but a few alpine peaks. The 2.5-million-acre Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve includes all 106 river miles of the Charley and encompasses its entire 1.1-million-acre watershed.
Eons have passed here without catastrophic change. Today the Yukon-Charley persists as a haven largely untouched by glaciation and mostly free of human imprint. Here are prime breeding grounds of the endangered peregrine falcon, calving grounds of the Fortymile caribou herd, choice paleontological sites, superb recreational waters, and the timeless presence of the mighty and historic Yukon River.
The preserve lies between the communities of Eagle and Circle, Alaska. New Jersey with its 7.5 million residents would fit between those towns, but there are only 30 year-round residents here. Truly isolated, the preserve is wilder and less populated now than it was 50 or 80 years ago. The late-1800s Klondike and Nome gold rushes turned Circle—1980 population 81—into the "Paris of the North", boasting an opera house. Pokes of gold were legal tender. This was the stuff of Jack London's stories and Robert Service's poetry. Eagle's population—about 200 today—soared to 800. Fort Egbert boasted electric lights and hot-and-cold running water. Circle and Eagle were south-bank trade centers on the great Yukon River thoroughfare that bisects Alaska east to west for 1,250 river miles and stretches for 1,979 rider miles from its headwaters near Whitehorse, in Canada's Yukon Territory, to its mouth at the Bering Sea. When not choked with stupendous, lethal spring and fall ice floes, the Yukon serves as summer waterway or frozen winter highway. Ancient humans had traveled through the unglaciated Yukon corridor. Those who stayed probed the uplands for game via the stream-carved valleys. Forays upland took them first through thickets of willow and alder, through stands of white spruce and cottonwood screening the rivers, then across boggy flats punctuated by stunted black spruce. Mixed white spruce, birch, and aspen gave way to brush as the hunters climbed toward dry tundra on the ridges. Above them loomed always the barren mountains scored by scree slopes and topped by granite pinnacles.
What scientists think may be remnant Ice Age vegetation occurs as patches of arctic steppe on sun-drenched benches and bluffs. Now, winter's darkness and cold conspire to congeal this land abutting the Arctic Circle. Animals go to ground or migrate, or, like the mountain sheep, stand hunched against arctic winds. Rivers and streams freeze over. Deprived of silt from these frozen sources, the winter Yukon runs clear under as much as 6 feet of ice. But the sun returns. The rivers break. Birdcalls herald spring. Old cliff eyries of peregrine falcons are refurbished and the swift flight and stoop of these winged hunters take their toll on migrating birds. Salmon begin their runs, first the big kings and then the dog salmon. Here, 1,200 miles from the sea but with many miles left to swim, the powerful fish are still firm of flesh. And as they have for centuries, people gather at fish camps along the Yukon. The people who stayed after the glory days of gold faded—Han Indians already home and recent arrivals who had found a home—settled back to a slower pace, trapping, hunting, fishing, gardening. With easily exploited placer deposits of gold exhausted, mining, too, changed from a rush to long toil. Even today along the Yukon a fish camp may lie just around the bend— fishwheel or net in the water, fish drying on streamside racks. Hunters track moose and caribou, and miners match their mettle against the grudging rock. Life, in all its flintiness, persists here as it has for eons, and a few hardy souls still pit their fortunes against a true frontier wilderness.

Country Lane was inspired by what I imagine as the perfect weekend in the country. A great bed and breakfast, walks in meadows, sleeping late and lazing around. The colors came to me from a crazy quilt that I have. It is full of deep navy blues, reds, pinks and white.
When it comes to my absolute favorite project using Country Lane, I have to say, I'm mad about the curtains I made for my family room and kitchen! And I super love the zigzag quilt, Meadow Fresh, which is part of my upcoming release of sewing patterns.
Currently I am working on 4 new sewing patterns (of course one being Meadow Fresh) to release in October. I'm also working on licensing opportunities in additional venues such as scrapbooking, paper, and more!
I also have my new book, Inspired to Sew, that will be out in January. It's a creative sewing book that covers many of my adventures in sewing. There's applique, collage, clothing, a quilt and much more. It also features my signature "Keeping It Real Sewing" sidebar hints and tips that are in my sewing patterns.

I just pushed the SPARC C1 and C2 patches to support JSR 292 to the MLVM repository. I've tested both thoroughly with JRuby's tests and benchmarks and both work pretty good. Although I know of one bug in C1 this can be treated as the final versions and I'll start the first review round soon to get them into JDK 7 builds.

A happy crowd gathered at Circa 1886 for a duel celebration, one a feast prepared to raise funds for nonprofit Louie's Kids and the other in honor of the organizations founder Louis Yuhasz on his 50 birthday. Chef Marc Collins and visiting chef Ford Fry of Atlanta's The Optimist—recently named one of Bon Appetit magazine's Top 10 Best New Restaurants in America 2013—delivered five courses of exceptional cuisine.
Guests enjoyed ricotta agnolotti with sweet corn and Humboldt fog before devouring roasted fish with summer bean panzenella and an "1855" strip steak coated in a local honey demi glace. Dessert, for those with room to enjoy it, was a chocolate cake topped in crisp potato chips, but as Yuhasz shared, such luxury dishes should be enjoyed only as a special treat, not every day. Which brought him back to the heart of his cause—childhood obesity.
Yuhasz shared that when he started the program 12 years ago, sending a group of over-weight children to a weightloss summer camp, the project left a mark on his heart and a commitment to help area kids take back their health. Today, the project has assisted hundreds of children in losing weight, understanding nutritional balance, and gaining the self confidence needed to grow into a healthy adult. The evening's auction featuring an exquisite necklace from Croghan's Jewel Box and a personal in-home dinner prepared by Ford and Collins raised more than $6,000 towards that endevor.

Dark Roca (and other Rocas quick-hit)
April 10th, 2013 by Rosa
Last year at Sweets and Snacks, the Dark Roca won a Most Innovative New Product award. I picked up some samples of the Dark Roca and other Rocas, and like the Albanese Rainforest Gummi Frogs, I just found my tasting notes in an old notepad.
The Dark Roca (second from the left) was a dark version of the classic Almond Roca: a piece of chocolate almond toffee coated in dark chocolate and decorated with a few chocolate squiggles.
The chocolate toffee center was lightly sweet with a buttery finish. It cleaved cleanly but then got a bit chewy and stuck in my molars.
The whole thing had a great cocoa flavor, while whole almonds hidden inside added a lovely nuttiness. The dark chocolate that covered the toffee had a great deep dark chocolate duskiness.
I loved the cocoa depth of this treat – from the dark chocolate coating to the chocolate in the toffee, the whole thing was infused with a great cocoa depth. An OMG.
I also picked up Peppermint Roca (dark chocolate decorated with white stripes; lightly minty against the buttery toffee; an O), a Mocha Rocha (toffee studded with bits of coffee beans that gave it a strong, roasted coffee flavor, also an O), and Roca with different types of nuts (I think cashew and macadamia? Each tasty in their own right). The Dark Roca was easily my favorite of the bunch.

Masahiro Yamamoto vs Kan Itabashi Set for It's Showtime 61kg #1 Contender's Match
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's Showtime Japan has just announced the fight that will likely be the headlining bout of their fourth event on October 23rd, a #1 contender's bout for the It's Showtime 61kg championship, currently held by Javier Hernandez, between Krush 2009 Lightweight GP winner Masahiro Yamamoto and former RISE 60kg champion Kan Itabashi. Like all of the other It's Showtime Japan cards, this will be a co-promotion, and this event is with REBELS.
The two fought about a year and a half ago while both had been on a tear, with Yamamoto on a 5-fight winstreak that included his 4 wins in the Krush Lightweight GP and Itabashi on an 8-fight win streak that included wins over Yuki, Turbo and Keiji Ozaki. The two fought to a draw after 3 rounds and Yamamoto ended up taking a unanimous decision in the extension round. Since, however, it has been Itabashi who has had the better record, going 3-1 with his wins coming over Anuwat Kaewsamrit, Kanongsuk Weerasakreck and the recently retired Genki Yamamoto which put him in this match. His loss came in a RISE Super Featherweight Title Match against Kosuke Komiyama. Yamamoto, on the other hand, just picked up his first win since the Itabashi fight, besting Arito Tsukahara for the right to face Itabashi again. In that stretch between wins, Yamamoto had a shot at becoming the It's Showtime 61kg champion, but lost as a result of a cut to former champion Sergio Wielzen. {jcomments on}

OK, Christmas Day and the rest of the family's on the other side of the country and the girlfriend's at work. The beaches are packed and it's hot (34C) and humid here in Sydney. Thought I'd do something useful so I packaged up rdesktop 1.1.0 with Mac OS X patches for Fink. Soon enough Fink users will be able to 'apt-get install rdesktop' and access Outhouse, Orofice, etc. and other annoying proprietary win32 only applications from the comfort of OS X.
Merry Christmas!

RE:Opinions are like...
To clarify that cryptic message
epinion offers good feedback about products with less jading from business interests than straight Ads. It's a good additional source of information on products, but not as good as what people here would say to each other in a community like the forum.
Opinions are like...
I was once taught in a business class that "believability" increases in scale from "the experts said" to "we said" to "I said". All perspectives are useful, but here's a site that presumably leverages the "we said" principle on the web. Ultimately, it's a means to sell the product (surprise, surprise!). It's a neat resource just the same...

I's like to think another great thing about internet communities like this FORUM is that the information we share here is of the "I said" caliber. Our mission is to put the stuff in your hands so you can make a decision firsthand.
The best strategy is to use all available information to your advantage when making a buying decision: the advice of the experts, the concensus of the layman, and most importantly - what you know to be true.

Dave Smith Instruments Tempest
The Tempest from Dave Smith Instruments is a collaboration between Dave Smith and Roger Linn. Dave Smith is the mastermind behind the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, MIDI, and the current DSI range. Roger Linn is the brain behind the Akai MPC, the LinnDrum, and more current offerings like the AdrenaLinn filter FX units. What they came up with draws on the strengths of each to create a hybrid of drum machine and synthesizer. In fact, the Tempest can be seen as a drum machine, drum synthesizer, polyphonic synth, and an analog groove-box—all in one desktop unit.
The Tempest includes samples of classic drum machines and acoustic kits. But getting your money's worth really means digging into the analog synth engine where you'll find everything from classic sounds to radically different new sounds. Unlike classic analog drum machines, the user is not limited to a narrow range of basic editable parameters like pitch and decay. The Tempest is a full-blown synthesizer, so each drum sound can be anything from a traditional percussive sound (like a clap) to a soft analog synth pad. With 32 sounds available at a time (accessible through the 16 pads in two banks), the only limit is its six voices of polyphony. There have been hints at the possibility of allowing user samples, but no concrete announcements have been made as of this writing.
Taking a look at the synth engine, anyone who has used another DSI synth will recognize a similar structure: classic subtractive synthesis with a deep mod matrix. Each of the six voices has two analog oscillators (DCOs) and two digital oscillators, producing Prophet '08 waveforms and drum samples, respectively. The Curtis analog low pass filter can be set to 12 or 24 dB/oct, allowing for classic 80's sounds but also tones that hint at the 70's. The high pass filter is also extremely effective in shaping the tone. Taking things even further, the Tempest offers two LFOs, five ADSR envelopes, two hardwired to the VCA and low-pass filter, the others freely assignable. To add even more versatility, no fewer than eight modulation paths are provided.
But the emphasis here is on beats. The 16 pressure and velocity sensitive pads can be used in four different modes: 16 Beats to select different drum patterns, 16 Sounds to edit each sound patch assigned to the pad, 16 Time Steps for sequencing, and 16 Mutes to silence individual parts in real-time. Recording patterns can be done via the pads or with an external MIDI controller, which is especially useful for synth pads or melodic lines (although with the current OS 220.127.116.11 it's only possible to record one note at a time). The Roll button (a stutter effect with assignable ratio) and Reverse (for reverse envelopes that provide convincing backwards tape effects) provide for dynamic patterns. Both can be triggered in real-time.
For even more real-time control, there are two assignable "FX" slide controllers that can be assigned to four different parameters per project—not just for effects but also parameters like pitch, resonance, pan, oscillator volume, LFO amount, etc. Available for use on one sound or the whole beat, they can be used in latching or non-latching mode. The slider movements can also be recorded for a single sound pad but not the whole beat.
For those used to all-digital groove-boxes, the effects provided might seem meager. But Roger and Dave wanted to keep the unit's path analog so no digital reverb or other effects were added. With the choice of stereo or six individual voice outputs to feed into effects units, they have provided a lot of flexibility to how the user can feed the voices into their own effects boxes. The effects that are on board, however, are quite useful. The compressor does a great job at tightening up the sound, even if it does add a bit of analog hiss (some might just like that). The Distortion can add a bit of grit or a lot of harmonic squelching—but is all analog for some aggressive richness. Finally, there is Delay, which is a MIDI delay, as opposed to a digital or analog circuit. So the audio signal is not being delayed; MIDI is repeating the notes. Those expecting a traditional delay will probably be disappointed, but MIDI delay can be its own unique effect and can be useful for rhythmic effects.
The layout is straightforward and the amount of knobs on the control panel provide easy access to real-time control. The knobs feel solid and the sliders are easy to master. The only thing that might slow down real-time performance is the Shift button. One is provided at the top left and another below the display. Pushing Shift changes the function of many of the knobs and some of the buttons. These dual-function knobs and buttons are ones that are less likely to be used in performance, but players who might want to adjust the Pan and Delay Repeat parameters in real-time, as an example, will have to remember to use the Shift button. Obviously, it's there to maximize the use of real estate, but it does take getting used to. It also takes time to remember where the buttons are—not unusual for a feature-packed unit, but their size and the font size can make finding the right button difficult in dim lighting, especially while trying to toggle the Shift button in addition to another button or knob.
The OLED display screen is a tad on the small side but reads clearly. It shows a graphic display while programming of things like the ADSR envelopes, oscillator pitch, pulse wave shape, or the names of the sounds assigned to each pad, etc. It also shows the values of parameters like the attack or LFO rate while adjusting them, so it helps users dial in precise changes. More complex parameters like the modulation assignments require a bit of menu diving, as is to be expected, but it's pretty difficult to get lost. However, a firm grasp of synthesizer architecture will be valuable in creating new sounds and navigating the menus to make the most of the programmability.
Loading up a project gives you 16 beats or patterns to choose from. You can use those to line up individual beats or combine those patterns to create songs. Unlike many groove-boxes, however, there is no "Song" mode. The emphasis is on real-time control rather than pre-programmed MIDI sequencing. Loading projects or beats is the only workflow on the device that seems a bit lacking. For a machine built with an eye on performance, scrolling through menus to get to the next project seems a bit slow. But once in the project, the user can easily select the individual patterns with the pads. Unlike many groove-boxes, there are no "kits" to choose from either. The user is free to choose from or create any sound and assign it to any of the 32 slots.
Last but definitely not least, the Tempest has its own sound. Whether using the samples or the analog oscillators, the sound can definitely bring back the 80's, whether it's clean dance-floor beats or dirty underground rhythms. But it can also go places that no vintage drum machine could—glitchy clicks, thick bass lines, icy pads and more. The sounds will be familiar to those who have used other DSI synths. The depth of programming options make the Tempest both a robust analog drum-synth and poly-synth. Roger Linn is known as the king of swing when it comes to drum machines, and the Tempest is no different. In addition to the fine swing implementation, the latest OS also allows for odd time signatures, making this a truly unique analog drum machine experience.

That's ok, could be a bug, but see their log report: ... /bin/tar In file tools/qgarray.cpp, line 126: Out of memory ... Well, i'll try to figure out a better way to handle this better than add more swap or another memory chip :-) This specific bug will be reassigned to core kdelibs developers, since ARK uses ktar class, not owns implementation ( how beatifull is KDE class structures :-), but i thought that other file types can be suffer of same disease... Hard is create a compressed file large than 400 Mb with a slow harddisk..

I actually see little benefit to prolonging the debate. We have passed the point where those opposing the bills are actually trying to make improvements. Rather, they are simply trying to prevent any action using every delaying technique and argument they can muster. This is evident in the various made up issues such as the entire discussion concerning section 1233 of HR3200, the advance planning provisions being characterized as the basis for death panels. The cynicism behind such claims is setting new lows even by Congressional standards, especially in a context where many of those joining the chorus have previously proposed similar changes to Medicare.
For this reason, I hope both the House and the Senate force votes quickly following the summer recess and then begin focusing on the mid-term elections. The biggest threat to this schedule is not the Republicans, but Nancy Pelosi who could decide to push for a bill that will not pass in the Senate. Between now and then, I hope the administration focuses essentially all of its efforts on Iraq/Afghanistan, the budget, and the economy along with implementation of whatever health bill passes. These are the items that will drive the vote in 2010.
In 2010, it may be less important for the Democrats to retain a super majority in the Senate than it is for the Democrats to strengthen their position in swing-state legislatures. That is where redistricting decisions will be made following the 2010 census.

I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs.
Medicare was originally passed as a single payer system. In fact, private carriers have been administering payments since the day the program was created. There were a variety of provisions concerning what services were covered and which were not. Over time, the number of services covered has been generally expanded. There were many limitations in the original bill to protect current providers. In some cases, these provisions spurred the creation of entire abusive industries. This included abuses in nursing homes, laboratory services, and dialysis services among others. Over time controls were implemented to curb these abuses.
Stealth change is hard to sustain in our system of government. Presidents have tried to rewrite laws through regulatory changes (GWB tried pretty hard) but have generally found their powers limited by Congress and political change. Legislators have proposed amendments to redefine existing programs but generally find that only incremental changes are possible in the short term and that in the long term someone else assumes power. All of this gives us a government that is more pragmatic than ideological. It tends to be hated by all ideological purists from either end of the spectrum, and tolerated by everyone else. Personally, I think that sounds like the hallmark of democracy and I like it.
Nonetheless, I disagree with your original statement; I happen to think that just passing "something" in this case is an invitation to insurance and pharmaceutical companies to lock-in behind the scenes deals before anyone but the lobbyists really understands what is being agreed to.
This is an elephant that needs to be eaten one bite at a time. It is lack of discipline that has kept genuine reform from passing for many decades, not lack of worthiness of the cause. The last thing this country needs is "fake" reform--that would be a far worse injustice than no reform, IMO.

For me, numbers 1, 4, and 6 are the core requirements for health insurance reform. Number 2, effective cost control, will only happen if number 1 happens first in my opinion. I hope that number 7 will happen over time to help US business compete more effectively in the global economy.
- Coverage of all Americans
- Effective cost control
- High quality coordinated care.
- Choice of insurance plans, doctors, and hospitals along with the ability to buy additional insurance coverage
- Fair funding requiring all Americans to contribute to the cost of services
- Reasonable dispute resolution to replace the current malpractice system
- Economic revitalization from removing health insurance as a responsibility of employers.
I believe, as do many of those most strongly opposing any legislation, that if health insurance reform is not passed this year it will not be addressed again in any substantive fashion for at least 10-15 years. I believe the one bite at a time approach is an open invitation to the profiteers.
Congressional looney left bailing on osamacare without public option. Great news, perhaps this socialized crap will fail totally.

If a significant reduction in cherry-picking and a significant improvement in portability were made in the next 3 to 5 years, that would be substance enough to improve many, many lives for real, and lay solid groundwork for, or even make progress on, other changes you've outlined (with which I generally agree).
If the Democrats insist on passing big legislation that frightens people (whether their fears are well-founded or not is totally irrelevant, by the way), there WILL be a third party in 2012, and I'll be in it--not because I don't want health care reform, but because I think lawmakers are being selfish and arrogant and stupid. Government can't take that kind of legislative power for itself without the agreement of its citizenry; even though we are a representative democracy, our representatives have to have a certain respect for the voice and will of the people when legislation cuts right to the core of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the ownership of property.
I've said it before, and I'm not afraid to say it again--when and if the time comes for single-payer national health insurance, that will be a day I am a very happy person--single-payer done right makes complete sense to me, and I try to articulate its benefits clearly in every health-care conversation I have in person, but that may not be what happens. The point is to make peoples' lives better.
I daresay if incremental, common-sense reforms had been started during the Clinton administration, we'd be far closer to meeting most of the goals you've listed above today. But no--arrogance and greed and behind-the-scenes dealmaking blew it up then, and those same factors (and some of the same people!!!) are going to blow it up again. It is absolutely, positively infuriating.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
DANA MILLER: In the mid-1970s, DeFeo began making drawings of manmade items in her surroundings. Treating these items, primarily mechanical items as portraits, and bringing out the inner life of these objects.
One of those that she rendered most frequently was her camera tripod, actually two camera tripods, primarily because they were in her studio and in close proximity to her during that time. But also because of their very figurative aspects.
NARRATOR: She described the tripod she pictured here as the "dressed" tripod. The "dress" was a wet drawing that she'd hung on the tripod to dry. She liked the appearance of the arrangement, and used it as inspiration.
DANA MILLER: That's the tripod and its dress, the dressed form or the female figure. The costume, if you will. In this particular work you see that she's created a collage almost mimicking that episode so that there's a drawing of the tripod that's been cut out and then another drawing of the dress that has been collaged and draped on top.
