Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is unsure whether Rio Ferdinand can fulfil his international commitments after getting a recalled to the England squad.
The Old Trafford chief said Ferdinand's special preparations for games could make it difficult for him to play for Roy Hodgson's side.
Fernando Torres' recent misery continued as he was left out of the Spain squad for their latest World Cup qualifiers.
The Chelsea striker's poor form has continued this season and he scored only his second goal since Christmas on Thursday night in the Europa League win over Steaua Bucharest – he missed a penalty soon after though.
Arsene Wenger has praised Lukasz Fabianski's "mental transformation" after an impressive display in the win over Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
The Poland international had not played for Arsenal in over a year and Wenger was delighted with the maturity he has shown through his injury nightmare.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has rubbished claims he is in talks with Zenit St Petersburg.
Recent reports have suggested the Russian side are targeting him this summer and that City's poor title defence, added to another failed European campaign, has put his position at Etihad Stadium under threat.
Tottenham Hotspur defender William Gallas has insisted it would be justified for the players to walk off the pitch in response to racist abuse.
Spurs players were subjected to monkey chants from Inter Milan fans in their Europa League last 16 clash at the San Siro – the Londoners went through on away goals.
Paris St Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti believes the Champions League quarter-final clash with Barcelona will be a good test to see how far his side have come.
The draw means PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be pitted against the club he left under a cloud after a fallout with former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.

RELIEF at progress on the giant $US19 billion PNG LNG project pushed up shares in Oil Search, which on Tuesday reported production of 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in the December quarter.
Oil Search said the Exxon Mobil-led project was 70 per cent complete and on track for first LNG sales in 2014. The project budget remained intact, after a 21 per cent blowout last year blamed mainly on the high Australian dollar.
CBA energy analyst Luke Smith said investors were relieved that Oil Search played down reports of a landslip at the Komo airstrip, which was key to the timing of the project. "The company confirmed soil subsidence took place in mid-January," he told clients, "though it wasn't near completed sections and Exxon has confirmed it hasn't impacted operations, and the runway will be operational by early 2013."
Oil Search said it was continuing to explore growth options including a third train at PNG LNG, and completed the farm-down of its Gulf of Papua exploration acreage to French major Total. Oil Search reported operating revenue for the quarter of $US218.2 million, at an average oil price of $US111.09 per barrel. Its shares closed up 9¢ at $7.20
Shares in Beach Energy also rose on Tuesday, closing up 2¢ at $1.40, recovering some of the ground lost last week when it fell 8.6 per cent after reporting a disappointing gas flow from its Moonta shale well in the Cooper Basin.
CBA's Mr Smith said last week's selling was overdone and there was longer-term upside from commercialising the Cooper Basin's unconventional resources. "Initial Cooper shale results have been encouraging, with the company booking a material contingent resource," he wrote.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 seems like it's making good on some complaints from the first game, but so far the trailers haven't done much to explain what's driving the sequel's plot. Something about Lightning disappearing, and time-travel, and a kid who looks like Justin Beiber as dressed by Tetsuya Nomura.
That's why this latest trailer, released alongside New York Comic-Con gives us some hope. It's a full seven minutes long, and a large portion of that time is plot and dialogue.
Which is not to say that we understand the story any better, even after seeing it. In fact, we might be more confused, but at least it clears up why Lightning is missing. Kind of. It also makes time for some new characters, a battle montage including monster party members, minigames, and a ballad.
You know what? You should probably just watch it for yourself.

TBH: when i read your post: 5dm3+portrait+L is too expensive+ portrait @ F5.6... I laughed & wondered: Did you think spending $3000+ on the 5d3 will make your photo to be much improved? what enforced ur stance on never "lower" than F4.0? Try to loose it out a-little bit... Shoot at f1.4, f2.0 etc.. experience it, have fun with them.. the L lense are especially designed to shoot at those aperture... the 50 1.4 & 85 1.8 isnt a slouch.. they do performe amicably well
Got a question concerning the last picture:why is nearly the complete hat out of focus, although parts of it are in the same area as the sharp face. I'm talking about the sliver brooch look alike thing and the dark violett parts around it. To answer YOUR question: The eyes seem to be sharp, as i said above: the rest of the pictures looks strange

Supreme Judicial Court (May 19, 2009)
In determining on appeal whether a judge erred in finding that a witness had a valid 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the sealed Martin hearing transcript may only be disclosed to an appellate court on appellate review. Further disclosure of the transcript to either defense counsel or the defendant is prohibited by the 5th Amendment and Article 12 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.
The defendant, along with another (Gillum), was involved in an undercover drug sale. Gillum pled guilty to various charges and was sentenced. The defendant went to trial and attempted to summons Gillum to testify as a witness. Gillum's attorney informed the court that Gillum would invoke his privilege against self-incrimination, and an in camera Martin hearing was held. The judge determined that Gillum had a valid privilege and excused him as a witness over the defendant's objection.
The defendant was convicted after trial. Represented by new counsel, the defendant filed an appeal in the Appeals Court. The in camera Martin hearing was impounded and therefore, was omitted from the trial transcript given to the parties. The defendant filed a motion for access to the transcript of the Martin hearing. The Superior Court allowed the defendant's appellate counsel to read the impounded transcript but forbade her from taking notes or making copies. After reviewing the impounded transcript, defense counsel determined that there was an appellate issue regarding the judge's Fifth Amendment ruling and filed two motions. The first was to transfer the impounded transcript to the Appeals Court, which was allowed by the Superior Court. The second, for permission to copy the transcript and share its contents with the defendant, and disclose it in an appellate brief, was the subject of a hearing held by at Superior Court judge, which was denied. The defendant filed a c. 211, §3 on the second motion which was denied and the defendant appealed the single justice's denial of his petition seeking further access to the impounded transcript.
The SJC recognized that the defendant's petition presented a constitutional question of first impression. When a judge rules that a defense witness has a valid privilege against self-incrimination and excuses him from testifying, the defendant, after conviction, has standing to challenge the merits of the judge's ruling in his direct appeal. The defendant argued that his right to challenge the judge's ruling on appeal as clear error or an abuse of discretion is hollow without further allowing him to use the content of the impounded transcript in his impounded brief. The SJC disagreed, concluding that a witness's valid assertion of the 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination trumps a defendant's right to call the witness:
"A Martin hearing poses the unique situation of compelling
potentially incriminating testimony from a reluctant witness for the sole purpose of determining whether the witness has a valid privilege against self-incrimination. Having compelled such testimony, the court has an obligation to ensure that the compelled testimony not be used in any way, directly or indirectly, against the witness in any criminal case. . . . We
decide here that the more limited determination on appeal of whether the judge erred in finding a valid privilege can adequately be made by the appellate Justices alone, without further disclosure to the parties."

Submission + - Cybercrooks Surpassed Old School Bankrobbers in 09 (krebsonsecurity.com)
krebsonsecurity writes: Organized cyber criminal gangs stole $25 million in the 3rd quarter alone last year, by pilfering the online bank accounts of small to midsized businesses, the FDIC reported last week. In contrast, traditional bank robbers hauled just $9.4 million in 1,184 bank robberies during that same period, according to an analysis of FBI bank crime statistics by krebsonsecurity.com. From that story: "The federal government sure publishes a lot more information about physical bank robberies that it makes available about online stick-ups. Indeed, the FBI's bank crime stats are extraordinarily detailed. For example, they can tell you that in the 3rd quarter of last year, bank robbers were more likely to hold up their local branch between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on a Wednesday than at any other time or day of the week; they can tell you the number of tear gas and dye packs taken with the loot, the number of security cameras activated, the number of food stamps taken, even what percentage of suspected perpetrators had illegal drug habits at the time of the robberies. About the only thing the stats don't tell you is what brand of jeans the perpetrators were wearing and whether the getaway car had cool vanity plates. What do we get about e-crime statistics from the federal government? One guy from the FDIC giving a speech at the RSA conference.

News Release: Associated Press
August 29, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott is promising more tax cuts if he wins a second term.
Despite past resistance from the Republican-controlled Legislature Scott says he will push through more than $1 billion in tax cuts over the next two years.
Scott in 2010 promised deep property tax cuts and a substantial phase-out of the state's corporate income tax. Neither has happened.
The GOP incumbent plans to launch a two-week statewide bus tour Monday to tout the tax cuts.
Scott's new tax cut plan includes sales tax holidays for shoppers, a reduction in taxes paid on cellphone bills and the elimination of taxes paid on commercial rent.
The governor also says he will push a constitutional amendment that would shield homeowners from increased property taxes if their homes lose value.

As commencement approaches, our graduates reflect on their Willamette experience and share their plans for the future. This is the second of our five-part series.
When Stephen Yamada '13 graduates from Willamette University in May, he won't be pounding the pavement looking for a job.
He already found one.
"I'm in the position I had hoped to get five years from now," Yamada says about working for Organization for Educational Technology & Curriculum in Portland. "The level of responsibility is astonishing."
OETC is an incorporated nonprofit company that organizes a consortium of schools and organizations to lower the cost of technology. The company also provides training and consulting in how to use the technology.
Yamada was hired as the marketing communications coordinator, charged with everything from redesigning OETC's website, logo and materials to writing monthly newsletters.
He started freelancing for the company a year ago and will begin working for OETC full-time on June 1.
Excited by his burgeoning career, the Chicago native attributes much of his success to the relationships he built at Willamette.
"I'm excited to start my new life in Portland, but I will miss the community I have here," says Yamada, who majored in rhetoric and media studies. "It's been my home for the past four years, and it will be hard to leave that behind."
Creative Undertakings
Yamada first visited campus after he enrolled. Trusting the recommendation of a family friend and his yearning to explore the Pacific Northwest, Yamada hoped Willamette would make a good fit.
It did.
"When I first got here during Opening Days, I immediately felt at home," Yamada says. "By that point I had already met with professors over coffee and I had gotten to know them quite well. I was impressed by what Willamette had to offer. "
Perhaps even more impressive were the opportunities Yamada made for himself.
Not only did he help create Tandem, a 14-member, coed a cappella group, he designed its logo and posters.
He was hired as a graphic designer — first for Willamette Integrated Technology Services and later for Willamette's Marketing Communications Department. And he designed the poster for the university's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration for three consecutive years.
Yamada was also chosen as the photographer and designer for the Advocacy Institute in the summer of 2012.
Through the institute, Willamette students travel to Xi'an, China, where they and other students engage in lectures, discussions and debates to gain a deeper understanding of sustainability.
"I heard David Douglass (dean of campus life) was sitting on an internship," Yamada says about the program. "I had never met him before, but after leaving his office, I was going to China. … I sought my own avenues to pursue graphic design here. I became the person known for that."
On that trip, Yamada delivered a lecture to 50 students — something no other student has ever done, Douglass says.
"His session covered visual rhetoric, and it was lively, engaging and filled with good content," Douglass says. "All in all, Stephen performed at a level that would have been impressive for a full-time staff member. The fact that he was a student made his contributions to this program extraordinary."
Close Connections
Yamada learned about graphic design as a teenager. But instead of attending an art school with friends, he opted to pursue a liberal arts education at Willamette.
"I thought I'd be better able to handle life by earning a liberal arts degree," he says. "I wanted to know my professors, and when I came to this school, I was told this was a great place to do that."
Cindy Koenig Richards '01, who teaches rhetoric and media studies, is one Willamette professor who has gotten to know Yamada well. Together, the two have developed teaching methods that incorporate iPads in the classroom — which became the topic of Yamada's thesis.
The pair also are co-authoring a paper about the best practices for learning technology in the classroom, which they're submitting to a national rhetoric conference.
"During his four years at Willamette, it's been exciting to see Stephen develop from an aspiring graphic designer to someone who integrates visual communication and the liberal arts in powerful ways," says Koenig Richards, who connected Yamada with her husband Thomas Richards '01, CEO of OETC.
"Having worked closely with Stephen in his major and minor courses, as well as on research and design projects beyond the classroom, I knew that that his ability to communicate innovative ideas and engage diverse constituencies would be a good fit for the OETC."
Jumping Ahead
With graduation looming, Yamada says he's happy to have found a job that combines his love for rhetoric with his passion for design.
"It turns out my job will be a lot of copy writing and a lot of coming up with strategies for communication," he says. "Graphic design is only part of what I do, and I would have been unprepared for this job without my rhetoric training."
Now, only weeks away from earning his bachelor's degree, Yamada says he's ready to enter the work force.
"I'm exactly where I had hoped I would be and farther along than I thought was possible," he says.

It's called Operation Fake Out, but in this operation, no one is fooling authorities.
Dozens of Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents went on a stakeout at a number of bars around town November 18. The mission was to find underage drinkers using fake IDs.
"It's a zero tolerance on that type of offense, so everybody is going to jail," said agent Randy Field.
Agents have used Operation Fake Out in areas like Waco and Austin before, but never in Bryan/College Station.
The idea is to educate officers and retailers on how to spot a fake ID and at the same time, allow agents to find leads on those who make them.
"We feel that if a person will manufacture a document like that for a young person to buy alcohol, they may also do it for a fugitive from justice or somebody who is in this country unlawfully or for someone who might want to use it to create identification theft," said sergeant Mitchell Dill.
Agents said the use and manufacture fake IDs is a growing problem. Technological advancements are making them more realistic, easier to make, and therefore easier to get.
Using a cell phone device, agents can simply type in an ID number and within seconds be able to tell whether it really belongs to that person. If not, a simple night out can turn into the worst night ever.
Agents arrested a 19-year-old girl posing as 21. Her ID looked very convincing, but once agents checked the ID number, they found that the number belonged to a 40-year-old male. After some questioning about where she got it, officers cuffed her and took her away.
"You always feel remorse when somebody makes a poor decision. However, it's these folks decision to make," said Dill.
It's a decision that landed violators at least one night behind bars.
Authorities arrested a total of 19 people with violations ranging from using a fake ID to minors in possession of alcohol.

There are some minor electrical/wiring changes between the 90-91's & the 92-94's. For example the main engine wiring harness uses three plugs on the 90-91's vs two on the 92-94's.
Despite the small issues, you should be fine in swapping the motor over and dealing with the small issues.

Swap intake manifolds such that you keep the 91 intake and you'd be fine.

LOWER MILITARY PROJECT UPDATE: Thomas Road to close
Thomas Road from Military Road to the Interstate 30 service road is expected to closed to traffic for ongoing work on the Lower Military Road expansion project.
Crews today were scheduled to begin undercutting and rebuilding of the intersection, Mayor David Mattingly said.
That location will be barricaded and marked with a "no through traffic" sign, he said.
In a recent town hall meeting, Mattingly said he expects the entire improvement project to be completed in June 2013.
Work on the project was delayed for several weeks, beginning in late December, because of faulty soil problems encountered.
McGeorge Construction Co. is contractor for the project.
The road widening project actually was shut down for five weeks because of bad soil being discovered in the roadbed. The mayor initially refused to sign a change order exceeding $1 million until he could receive assurance that federal and state funding would be available for the work.
Once that funding commitment came from Metroplan and the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, the work resumed.
The area involved in the project encompasses 1.4 miles.
Work on the project began in May 2010 with the beginning of utility relocations, but the design work actually started in 2006.
Most of the funding for the Lower Military Road project is coming from $14 million in federal stimulus funds earmarked for the project by Metroplan, the regional planning board responsible for overseeing the road improvement. The project will convert the existing two-lane roadway into four lanes and the median-divided road will be equipped with sidewalks on both side.
City officials and other community leaders predict the improvements will result in the area developing commercially as Upper Military has done.
They have said they expect Lower Military Road will to become "an ideal corridor for professional offices, restaurants, convenience stores and other businesses."

So I had court this morning but that isn't what this is about. Was waiting to talk to judge again when they called a case of my county vs some guy. Guy was accused of working on and storing boats on HIS property they claimed he was operating a business on agricultural land and it was against the law. I kept thinking this was the biggest assault on property rights I had ever heard or seen in my life. He owned the land and was not running a business according to him but was still fined 3k for doing so and having a sign up on the property saying he worked on boats. Then they put him on 6 months probation and said he was banned from going on that property for the length of his probation! WOW!. I wanted to stand up and yell at the idiots that they were taking the man's rights to his own property away from him and that was unconstitutional. Of course a bunch of whiney neighbors showed up to say they heard him pressure washing his boats blah blah blah...he tried to defend himself saying the pressure washing was just like someone cutting their grass it was on his property and they had no right to tell him he couldn't do it. The judge just didn't care. 1k fine for each count.

Submission + - Anonymous Downs UK Government Websites to Avenge Assange's Treatment (paritynews.com)
hypnosec writes: Anonymous has probably got the best of UK government websites as it is claiming that it has started shutting down government websites in protest of the treatment of Julian Assange. The UK Justice Department Website was down, probably because of a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), at around 8pm UT. Around 40 min after this Department of Work and Pensions website also suffered from downtime. Anonymous Twitter feed is claiming that both these websites were taken down as a part of their #OpFreeAssange move.

The butcher's bill:
The body of the missing gold cloak officer, stripped of armor and clothing alike and left in a gutter, was recovered from an alleyway beside the Bakers' Square. Three other watchmen have been killed, and a dozen more wounded, since the rioting began
Two bakers, five bakers' apprentices, and three hired guards buried at a sept on Rhaenys' Hill.
At least two dozen more dead, victims of the initial riot and the chaos that has followed, gripping Flea Bottom and threatening to spill into the more wealthy surrounds.
The riot that begun the previous day has continued almost unabated, slowing only in the heat of the day to surge again as darkness falls. The Dornish hostages have been kept to the Red Keep with extra guards at their doors, and other Dornishmen in the city have taken to barricading themselves in homes, or finding asylum in the septs of the city. The City Watch struggles on, attempting to calm the situation with minimal force, but the worst of the rioters—egged on by a deranged poor brother raving about the godless Dornishmen, and by those thugs and cutpurses who think to turn the riot to their own advantage—accept nothing but the direst force, which seems only to stoke the flames. The whole of Bakers' Square has been abandoned by the bakers, and the Iron Way near there has been disrupted enough that traffic there has slowed to a trickle in favor of other routes into the heart of the city. The result of all this is unease, as the sparks that began with little more than Dornish hate has turned into a more general, purposeless conflagration.
In the Red Keep, King Daeron is often closted with Prince Viserys and the small council, and sends orders and requests for news to the harried Ser Richard. Early in the afternoon, he personally called on the Dornish hostages and Prince Cadan, but it's said that he left them with a troubled mind and sent insistent messages to the Commander of the City Watch commanding that the unrest be put an end to. Orders followed, and more watchmen were moved into the area, but only groups of a dozen or more presently dare to enter Flea Bottom itself. Rumor has it that some of the denizens are raising barricades in the narrow streets and alleys of the warren.

COATESVILLE Ś Four people were displaced from their home Tuesday afternoon when a house fire broke out in the first block of Woodland Avenue.
According to Coatesville Fire Chief Jim Lentz, smoke was visible from all three floors of the home when the first firefighters arrived at 2:09 p.m. The fire broke out in a kitchen to the rear of the home, and the blaze extended to the second floor.
Firefighters brought the flames under control within 30 minutes. The fire chief praised firefighters from the city and surrounding companies for their quick response after a neighbor reported smoke billowing from the home.
No one was inside when the fire broke out, officials said.
ōFire suppression units were on the scene in less than four minutes from dispatch,ö Lentz said. ōThe first arriving firefighters, though shorthanded, managed to knock the fire down and complete a quick search of the dwelling Ś ensuring everyone was evacuated Ś just moments after arrival. Their quick action saved two homes and kept damage to a minimumö.
No one was injured in the fire, but four adults were receiving assistance from the Red Cross on Tuesday night. The home was declared unsafe for habitation by the cityÆs codes department, and no one will be permitted to return until repairs are made.
Officials said a preliminary investigation determined the kitchen fire was accidental. One other home sustained minor damage from heat and smoke exposure.
Firefighters from the Coatesville Bureau of Fire and the Modena and VAMC fire companies responded. The Coatesville Police Department and the Downingtown and Thorndale fire companies also assisted.
Lentz reminded city residents that working smoke detectors are available free of charge by calling 610-384-0300 extension 3111.

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — It was a full house at the MSAD60 board of directors meeting where parents, students, and the board expressed dismay over the laying off what will now be 22 school staffers, cuts to the Excel program for kindergarten through eighth grade, and the elimination of the elementary school band.
Last week the district announced a budget shortfall of $578,000 for this year. Factors contributing to the budget crunch include an "excessive" number of teachers taking leaves of absence and anticipated retirement obligations that will cost approximately $75,000, according to recent meeting minutes.
Superintendent Steven Connolly who joined the district in December, opened the meeting explaining how seriously this budget crisis is being taken.
" I value the programs. I value every single dollar. I don't have great options and somewhere along the line decisions have to be made," Connolly said.
Darcy Goulet, president of the MSAD60 Teachers Association, received loud applause after making her statement Thursday night.
"I am extremely disappointed with what has occurred. We are being ripped apart by those who created this budget. We have all held our part of the bargain. We attend sporting events, we give money for lunch, we give because we are hired to do so, that is what we have dedicated our professional lives to do.
"So I ask you, who is not holding up to their part of their bargain? If you take possibilities away from our children, you take away the possibility to succeed, and the possibility to excel," Goulet said.
Multiple parents stepped up to the microphone stressing how the Excel program has creatively challenged their child, who will be at a loss without it. Students in the elementary school were brought to tears as they shyly spoke how important their music department is to them; which is something they look forward to every week.
A mother who attended Noble High school revealed how creative departments like the Excel program helped her fight suicide as a 12 year old. More than 20 people spoke on the behalf of their education, their teachers, their children, or simply because they wanted to stand up for the district.
Board of Directors member Margaret Wheeler stood up for the administration.
"I am deeply offended by some of the comments here tonight. We're not enjoying this. This is not mismanagement. I hope you work with us and not against us. We deal with what is given to us," Wheeler said.
The MSAD60 website stated in order to meet financial obligation by June 30 reductions include:
■ Hiring freeze — unless involving safety factors or required services
■ Supply freeze — only necessary or encumbered spending approved
■ Professional development freeze — unless already encumbered;
■ Foreign student tuition funds recouped;
■ Tuition reimbursement freeze — unless required for certification;
■ Maine Energy and Environment Program; discontinued contract
■ Discontinued contract savings on 2012-2013 employee costs — for example, a new hire projected last spring at $59,000 but the actual cost came in lower;
■ Closing all school buildings for the week of June 24-28;
■ Spring intramurals canceled — primarily sports and after school activities at the elementary and middle schools beginning Feb. 25;
■ Late buses Tuesday and Thursday canceled beginning March 4;
■ No before or after school homework and help block beginning March 4;
■ Reducing all educational technician hours to 7 per day beginning March 4;
■ Ending some school programs in mid-May: elementary brand and K-12 Excel
The reduction of staff being discussed has included multiple "ed tech" positions and a secretarial/clerical position at the main office. Other employees might be transitioned to other schools throughout the district.
There will also be a furlough day on April 18 for administration from the central office and for special education, food service, transportation, facilities and maintenance, technology and Excel workers. The district is considering implementing one additional furlough day, but the decision is being weighed against contract requirements and retirements.

If I did my math right, the average age of our _pressumed_ starters is 26 years-old.
And after Ike retires next year it will get even younger.
That is not old. They say athletic peaks happen at 27 years old. We are 1 year younger than that.
Just food for thought. We will mostly likely look like this.

Deep in debt and lacking enough cash to make it through the winter, the Flat Rock Playhouse reached out to a group of "stakeholders" Tuesday in hopes of raising enough funds through donations and ticket sales.
Deep in debt and lacking enough cash to make it through the winter, the Flat Rock Playhouse reached out to a group of "stakeholders" Tuesday in hopes of raising enough funds through donations and ticket sales.
Playhouse President Bill McKibbin said the 60-year-old theater company needs roughly $250,000 in order to "finish the year and give us the opportunity to move forward in 2013." Without the funds, the organization won't be able to make payroll this winter.
"If ticket sales dry up and we don't get the money from our donors, we'll have difficulty getting through the first part of December," McKibbin said in a phone interview Thursday. "But we don't think that's going to happen. We think the community will respond, if they understand we're at a crossroads."
He said the Playhouse needs closer to $1 million in order to bring down its $2.6 million debt and remain stable long-term.
"(Our debt) is a greater weight on our backs than we can carry," McKibbin said. "The $1 million takes some of those stones out of our backpack and helps us move forward."
Playhouse leaders hosted the meeting for about 50 community stakeholders, including bankers, Realtors, Chamber of Commerce members and government officials, in a rehearsal hall on the Playhouse's Flat Rock campus. McKibbin said many loyal supporters have given the Playhouse loans or donations in the past, so "we've had to cast the net a little farther."
Whether it comes from local governments, private donors or stellar ticket sales, the $250,000 would also "have to occur in unison with other revenue goals before the end of the year," McKibbin said. Those include strong holiday sales of gift subscriptions, and tickets for a new version of "The Nutcracker," which opens Nov. 28.
McKibbin said the money would help the Playhouse "weather the quiet first part of the year," paying for things such as heating bills, electricity and the salaries of the limited full-time staff that stay on for the winter months.
Though the Playhouse's financial woes are complex, McKibbin said much of the current crisis can be traced back to its 2010 season. That year, the nonprofit predicted ticket sales would be close to what they'd been in previous years – 95,000-100,000. Instead, they fell to about 78,000. Instead of a predicted $153,000 shortfall that year, the organization lost $1.3 million.
"We were not anticipating that kind of loss of patrons," McKibbin said. "Where we are now is a direct consequence of that loss. We did not have the cash reserves to deal with 2010 and 2011."
Last year, the Playhouse got its ticket sales back up to 96,000, but still ended the year $500,000 in the red, McKibbin said. This year, he said the organization is on track to break even, assuming ticket sales for the remainder of the year are healthy.
Besides "The Nutcracker," created by Broadway choreographer and YouTheatre alumnus Chase Brock, the remaining playhouse schedule features a few more shows of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Heartbreak Hotel: A Tribute to Elvis Presley," as well as "A Celtic Christmas" running through Dec. 22.
County Commissioner Mike Edney was one of the governmental officials who attended the stakeholders' meeting Tuesday. He said the Playhouse's financial straits will be discussed by the Board of Commissioners at its next meeting Nov. 21.
"It's not on the agenda, but I'm sure somebody will ask that it be added," he said.
Henderson County and the city of Hendersonville each gave the Playhouse $100,000 last summer during a 30-day fundraising blitz designed to match a challenge grant. Edney said the Playhouse has made "substantial strides to overcome some of their difficulties and they have a strong plan moving forward."
The Playhouse's financial woes cannot be fixed simply with more donations from government or private donors, said former Commissioner Bill Moyer, who resigned two months ago from the Playhouse's finance committee. Moyer said he had suggested the Playhouse make "significant changes" to the way it operates, but the theater's leaders chose not to follow his recommendations.
"We needed far better reporting, particularly the cash flow, expenses and projected revenues," Moyer said. "I did not think that their numbers were considered adequate to make reasonable decisions. If you don't come up with reasonable estimates, you can keep kidding yourself that there's not a problem."
McKibbin said the Playhouse has made "significant cuts" in expenses since 2010's lackluster season.
"At least in my opinion, we cut all of the fat and much of the muscle," he said. "We're trying not to cut into the bone. If you cut personnel too much, you can't sell a show and if you don't have a cast, you can't put on a quality show and make money."

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) _ Army officials say Staff Sgt. Robert Bales has arrived at Fort Leavenworth to begin serving a life sentence for the murders of 16 civilians in Afghanistan in 2012.
The 40-year-old Bales arrived Wednesday at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks where he will spend the rest of his life without the possibility of parole. The prison is the military's only maximum security facility.
Bales pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty. He was convicted of the shooting deaths of 16 villagers during a late-night rampage.
Prosecutors say Bales knew what he was doing when he walked into two villages, shooting 22 people in all _ 17 of them women and children, some of them as they screamed for help, others as they slept.

I'm looking to make poutine and I have my cheese curds (I live in Wisconsin after all and purchased some from the farmers market that were made yesterday afternoon ) and my fry recipe is down pat. I'm looking for what would be considered a proper gravy recipe. I've only had poutine a few times and I'm not really sure how authentic it was.
Can anyone help me out?

17 Again
With its monochrome morality, nerds v jocks characterisation and narrative nods to John Hughes, this is so '80s that one expects Judge Reinhold to wander in. But the leads are charming, the comedy well judged and the script, however predictable, sure-footed, playing on notions of midlife nostalgia with grace and integrity.

This was a great movie. It really takes you back to when you are a teen falling in love 4 the first time. I also have 2 teenage kids and I feel the same way as a father. Great movie, script, and actors
OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!! much better than hsm !!!!!!!!!
Loved it. Expected it too be dull and predictable, it turned out to be funny, interesting, engaging and predictable. Thumbs up to Matthew Perry and Zac Efron. Zac Efron is such a good actor, (i never knew that) , really has a strong prescence even tho he is so good looking and he's sexy as hell. Wouldnt mind seeing it again.
it is a great movie. I didn't expect there are going to be a very touching moment (because there are Zac Efron) but surprisingly, he managed to play his character very well
its really good and they should do a 2nd one of it and suck your mum :)
i love it soooooo much its so much better than hsm
was really good film, very funny. If u liked Big or 13 Going on 30 you'll like this too :)
This was a great film.loved it so funny. I went to see this film with my little girl and my sis..we all found areselfs laughing all the way though it..and all the way home..great film..
OMG best film ever and Zac cute as ever.I'm deffo buying it on DVD . And if u don't see it u will regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was so funny if your wonderin if 2 c it then stop wonderin it sooo funny and zac efron actuly looks good! if any1 has seen it my fave bit is when hes spinning this bullys bball on his lil finger! it so funny! lol
I Thought this was going to be a cute movie and it turned out to be so much better than i was expecting. I loved it. Zac was amazing, and Tom, who was "Uncle Ned" was hilarious. The refrences to star wars and lord of the rings etc were awesome too! great movie, want to see it again!
A surprisingly good film which was a first class choice for a rainy bank holiday. My kids are HSM fans and are only 9 and 6 but they loved the film. Although there are a few moments which I felt unconfortable them watching.
i loved this film sooooooooooo much n i would deffo go n c it again!!! Zac Efron is a complete fitty n ws soooooooo funny!?! lol xx
This film is absolutely fab, well recommended for people with a good sense of humour!! Alot better than I thought it would be!!!!!!!
This film made my day yesterday. Went to see it with my cousin. We both laughed, a lot
this is a great movie, easy to follow & soo Sooo sooo Funny!!! =D u have to watch it, its hard to say how good it is!! x
As a 40 something wanting to see a light film to bring a bit of cheer this seemed to fit the bill. I knew it was going to be the standard body swap formula but was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. I laughed out loud on a number of occassions and was impressed by the attention to detail. 'Uncle Ned' was a scream. It did what hoped - it left me with a smile on my face! Will add it to my rainy sunday afternoon dvd collection when it is released.
zaci s a fitty and sexy the movie is so good i was lafing all trhe time lov hannah xx
Zac Efron Is Mine,,.. I Loveee Himm Soooooooooooo Mujj. He Is Phiittttt As Hell. Lovee Youu Zac Efronn. x x x
This is one of those rare films that (I believe) the whole family will enjoy; the hilarious character of Ned made the film for me, and his references to sci fi and love of expensive cars will keep the men/boys in the family interested. Obviously for the girls there is The Efron! I was suprised by how much I liked this film, having seen high school musical I found Zac Efron too 'wholesome American teen' but I thought he was brilliant in this, great with not only the comic moments, but the emotional ones too. As I said before, it's 'Uncle Ned' who makes the film for me personally, there are plenty of laughs in it, and the heartwarming story, whilst ever-so- slightly predictable, is enjoyable and easy to follow for people of all ages. I would thoroughly recommend this film, especially to families HSM fans and pre-pubescent girls!
took my daughters to see this film and we all loved it....zac efron was fab !!!!
sorry i meant *better than doing homework or being bored
This Film Is Amazing And is a Good LAUGH!!! ** Zac Efron is FIT, but that isnt the only reason to watch this movie, its a great laugh & definately better doing homework or being bored!! I would advise you to watch it!!! even if you dont like hsm (unlike me :D x), its nothing like hsm it is AWESOME but with no singing & dancing !!! x
I really liked this film! To be honest the face zac efron was in it made me what to c it! I wasn't sure what it would be like but its gr8 for a laugh, and its a good feel good film! cant wait to c it again!
it is so cool ont just good
Not a big fan of Zac Efron but the film was poppin, went to see it with a good friend and we both enjoyed it defo go see it if you haven't its much better than his high school musicals!x
i have seen parts of 17 again and i think its funny and one of the best films yet i cant wait to see it all!!!!!
i haven't seen the film but zac efron is FFFFFFFFITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT as hell so the film is obvs mint. :P
Unexpectedly good. Not brilliant, just a good laugh with your mates. Even for those who don't claim to be Zac Efron's biggest fans. Well done Zac for attempting to break free from the sugar-coated land of Disney. :)
I'm ashamed to say I really liked it!
i really thought it would be lame like all the high school musicals but it was really good.
I love this film! A must see! Zac is great, don't listen to anyone who says he wasn't!
iv seen it already and am going agen on thurs so can highly recommend it. a far cry from zac efron's cheesy tween only movies so far and well worth seeing. damn he's fit!
I quite enjoyed this film. A few laughs with a not too strong storyline.
This film is not all that, infact it's a typical old man trapped in young boys body and soo prediactable there were a few laughs, apart from that all i can say is too much hype about this film, that's quiet disapointing. the only good think about this film is ZAC EFRON played his role well and he is soo Gorgeous
Im ot A Fans Of Zac Efron At All I Hated Hsm I Thought They Were Cheesy Actors But I Did Think 17 again Was Enjoyable And Very Very Funny. Because You Had To Remeber His Rall Age And The Way He ActedWas So Funny. Its Was An Awsome Film Fantastic!
Didn`t like it at all. Zac Efron dissapointed me once again
OMG that film was soooooooooo good I enjoyed it sooooooooooo much x x x

Although Labor Day weekend is widely recognized as summer's unofficial end, this year the end came a little bit before that. Or at least, it felt like some kind of end as an apocalyptic, nuclear winter atmosphere descended upon Tampa, Florida as both hordes of Republicans and Hurricane Isaac made landfall at the same time. Though our country was spared the harsh winds that Donald Trump planned to let loose from his squiggly, earthworm-like lips, we still were exposed to all sorts of other insanities and inanities over the course of the Republic National Convention.
Did you watch? I didn't. I couldn't. I value what little of my sanity is left. But I did want to sound knowledgeable about what was happening, so I paid close attention to the social media that I most trust. And now, I've rounded up the best tweets and tidbits of those storied few days in Tampa, so that you too can feel politically informed.
Or maybe you already are politically informed? In which case, good for you. But you can still read these and laugh. Laugh and laugh until you cry at the prospect that these troglodytes have actual support in this country of ours.

"They really enjoyed our ice cream," said Licky Licious owner Ihab Fakhouri.
As for the ice cream flavors they chose, JustJared.com can exclusively report that Angelina picked Mango and Brad went with Crocan (pecan with caramel and vanilla).
Earlier in the day, Brad and Angelina visited two Iraqi families in the Jaramana district of southern Damascus (the Syrian capital) to call attention to the the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees who remain in exile.

About Marie Fox
Painting is my passion! I love trying to capture in paint the colors, shapes and textures of fruits and vegetables. Painting each day is my creative means of getting to the heart of things. Recently I've been painting still life & figurative work on large canvases. This feels like home to me, perhaps because I'm tall. Big canvases also encourage a long exploration of an idea or subject. Figure painting is fast becoming my favorite subject. To visit my blog showing current oil paintings, click first link below. I've painted for many years and have created folk art for The White House, Panasonic, Bigelow Tea, Toyota, the Mayor of Boston and many private clients. My paintings have been featured twice on the Today Show as well as on the covers of Country Living and US Air magazines. I've been represented by galleries in New York, Boston, Nantucket, Charleston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Although I no longer paint in a folk art style, museum-quality prints of my folk art paintings are available at MarieFox.com. Click 2nd link below.

The smooth feathers on Mei-Mei's body are of a dark gray, almost metallic color and run all the way down her scrawny legs, looking like fluffy pantaloons.
In the arms of her owner, Charlotte Blome, on Wednesday morning, the giant blue Cochin hen looks more like a lovable, domesticated bunny than what some might consider barnyard fowl. Mei-Mei is one of four backyard chickens at the Blomes' residence on Ash Street.
On Tuesday morning, Crystal Lake city officials paid the Blomes and their feathered comrades a visit, letting the family know that possessing their four egg-supplying hens within city limits was in violation of city code.
Crystal Lake Building Commissioner Rick Paulson said that the Blomes had to remove the hens or they'd be subject to a $100 fine plus $50 in court costs for the initial ticket.
According to city code, residents within city limits may keep only cats, small cage birds, aquatic and amphibian animals, and dogs.
The city has no limit on how many domesticated animals a person can have, and the county doesn't either, Paulson said.
It's not just an issue in Crystal Lake. Residents in many areas still are fighting for their right to bear chickens. The city of Batavia just passed an amendment allowing residents to have up to eight hens in May, furthering the trend of backyard chickens. Evanston passed its own chicken ordinance last September. Northbrook, Naperville, Oak Park and Chicago have similar ordinances.
With these other locales embracing backyard chickens, the Blomes don't think their city's rule makes much sense.
"I realize there is an ordinance against the chickens, and we will probably end up complying, but we're tempted to commit civil disobedience and not comply because it's smart living," said Erik Blome, Charlotte's husband. "Over time people are not going to accept that, they're going to say this is my place and I'm going to have healthy food available to me."
Until Wednesday, the Blomes kept their chickens in the garage in a clean, make-shift coop and let them roam in a small patch of their backyard that is cordoned off on all sides by fences so the birds can't get off the property.
The Blomes say chickens get a bad rap because of the images in people's minds of factory chickens, which are big, dirty and loud. By contrast, their chickens are lean, clean and docile.
On Wednesday morning, the hens entertained themselves by pecking at gravel, eating scraps and even basking in the warm, summer sun. Erik Blome said they were quiet animals, save for about five minutes a day when they're laying eggs.
Neighbor Jim Johnson said the Blomes' chickens made for excellent neighbors, and he said he didn't have a problem with their existence in the neighborhood.
"They're hens; they're not crowing in the morning," he said. "They're very good."
Johnson said that his wife, Susan, talked to them through the fence all the time. Their dog, Beau, also finds them fascinating.
Johnson is no stranger to chickens, either. He said his family has owned the Ash Street home in which he, Susan and Beau have lived since 1940. In the Johnson family's heydey, he said, they had 100 baby chicks raised right on the property.
"We had a garage, and half of it was a chicken coop," Johnson said.
Times have changed since the Johnsons had their chickens, however. The Blomes hope that Crystal Lake's chicken ban can be amended to resemble these other, more chicken-lenient communities.
"We're not running a farm; we just have three heritage chickens we've had for a long time," Erik Blome said. "They're clean as a whistle, they're cleaner than a dog. They don't make any noise. What's the issue?"
His wife chimed in, saying, "at the end of the day, they're just birds."

Six Flags Incorporated announces plans to build a new water park in Gurnee. It will be home to the largest interactive waterplay structure in the world, but what will this news mean for Rockford's Magic Waters?
It's a new wave of competition for Magic Waters. Six Flag's Hurricane Harbor will boast 25 waterslides, a 500,000 gallon wave pool and the world's largest interactive waterplay structure.
It's not slated to open until spring 2005, but some Rockford residents are already talking about making a trip.
"Yeah, I'd like to check that out," says Mike Tarara.
"Yeah, me and my friends would definitely make the trip," says Ashley Asprooth, who adds she'd probably rather go there than Magic Waters.
Six Flags spokeswoman Michelle Hoffman says, "Six Flag's Hurricane Harbor water park will transport guests to a Caribbean paradise. Again, it's close to home and it will take a full day to experience," says Hoffman.
Hoffman says Six Flags is hoping to draw customers from Milwaukee and Chicago as well as the Rockford area, which could mean fewer customers and less revenue for Magic Waters.
"The Lake County area, which is where Gurnee is located, hasn't been a huge draw for participation at Magic Waters, but certainly any sort of competition is a little bit challenging for us," says Jodi Carroll of the Rockford Park District.
The organization owns Magic Waters. Carroll believes Hurricane Harbor may actually increase business for the Rockford water park.
"We're hoping people who haven't tried water parks have a great experience at great America and then realize Magic Waters is right in their backyard and say we'd like to do a little more of this and come three or four times a week."
Revenue for Magic Waters was down this year. Park officials blame it on bad weather. While they can't control that, they'll certainly be keeping Hurricane Harbor in mind as they begin planning for 2005.
Six Flags has not yet released pricing scales for the new water park. Carroll says that's an area where Magic Waters may be able to stay competitive.

When the Vikings' front office assembled for the NFL scouting combine last year, it was all so much simpler. They had the No. 3 pick in the draft and were a year into a rebuilding program many, after a 3-13 season, expected had a long way to go. USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil was projected to go in the top five picks of the April draft, after Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, an obvious fit at a position of obvious need. And after trading down a spot to select Kalil, the Vikings had the flexibility to get another first-round pick and select Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith. Those two rookies were integral parts of the Vikings' seven-win improvement in 2012, which is precisely what makes their task at this year's combine so much more complex. Coming off a playoff season with a young roster that could make another jump in 2013, the Vikings believe a good draft could push them into Super Bowl contention. But their greatest position of need -- wide receiver -- figures to occupy their time at the NFL combine this week in more ways than one as the Vikings weigh whether to give Percy Harvin a long-term contract or try to trade him. To complicate matters, they have the 23rd pick in a draft with more underclassmen (73) than any in the league's history.

View Agency RSS Feed | Back To Newsroom
Oklahoma Forestry Services, a division of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, is alerting the public that a critical fire weather situation is developing for today as a dry line pushes through the state. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for all counties west of a line from Kay County to Love County, basically west of State Highway 177.
A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for Osage, Washington, Tulsa, Pawnee, Creek, Okmulgee and Okfuskee counties as a dry line is forecast to push through bringing southwest winds sustained at 20-30 mph with stronger gusts and dropping relative humidity.
We don't want people to be lulled into complacency with the scattered showers and seemingly higher relative humidity that we are experiencing,said George Geissler, Oklahoma State Forester. Gusty winds will dry things out quickly and the potential for an extremely dangerous fire situation exists.
Aerial support is standing by and OFS personnel are prepared to respond if needed. The fire weather conditions forecast will allow any fire that starts to be very resistant to control and extreme caution should be exercised with any outdoor activity that could spark a wildfire.

In his first start at the Real Quiet distance, Carving, who was purchased for $55,000 earlier this year, finished fourth, 10 ½ lengths behind stablemate Power Broker.
Baffert, who won the Real Quiet last year with eventual CashCall Futurity winner Liaison, is trying to become the first trainer to take this race twice.
The other two time winners in the field - Fury Kapcori and Glenco Kid – enter off victories outside Southern California.
Owned by Rick Awtrey, George Todaro and Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Fury Kapcori picked up both of his wins in Northern California. The Tiznow colt out of the Go for Gin mare Gin Running followed a six length maiden score at Golden Gate Fields Aug. 18 with a 1 ¼ length victory in the Charlie Palmer Futurity Oct. 6 at Fresno.
The one-mile Palmer was Fury Kapcori's initial try around two turns for Hollendorfer, who won the 2008 Real Quiet with Chocolate Candy. The bay has earned $61,000.
Trained by Troy Taylor for Mark DeDomenico LLC and North American Thoroughbred Racing, Glenco Kid easily captured the Ascot Grad in the slop at Hastings Park in Vancouver Oct. 14.
A son of Repent out of the Wavering Monarch mare Wavering Girl, Glenco Kid has won half of his starts and banked $72,332. His maiden win came Aug. 4 at Arlington Park.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb volleyball team is set to play against Georgia, Southern Illinois and Tennessee Tech at Allen Arena and at the student activity center on Saturday starting at 9:30 a.m.
Before Saturday's matches, the Lady Bisons had their first opportunity to play an opponent in the spring schedule on Thursday against Belmont in McQuiddy Gym.
"I was excited to see our girls come out and compete the way they did Thursday night," Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "You spend a lot of time playing against each other and it's always fun in the spring where we get four dates to get out and play outside competition."
Rosenthal was impressed with what he saw in the match with Belmont.
"I was interested to see how we would compete and I loved what I saw," Rosenthal said. "Individually, we saw some really good work. I thought Jewell Dobson and Molly Spitznagle did a real nice job offensively and defensively."
"I thought Megan Stout played pretty good all night and I was pretty pleased with her steady play all night. I thought "Dot" Dotson did a great job intergrating some of the parts of the game that we wanted to see her really work on this spring. It was great to see Brittnay Estes to get some quality time in there and see some changes she made during the match."
The spring matches is a great way for the team to put in action what they have been practicing for the past couple of months.
"The really main thing is going out and really trying to execute some of the things that we've been working on," Rosenthal said.
The Lady Bisons play four matches on Saturday starting with Georgia at 9:30 a.m., followed by a match against Southern Illinois at 10:30 a.m. with both matches at Allen Arena. Georgia and Tennessee Tech also play each other at 10:30 a.m., but the match is at the student activity center.
After a lunch break, the four teams continue to play at 1 p.m. Southern Illinois and Georgia face each other in Allen Arena, while Lipscomb plays against Tennessee Tech at the student activity center.
The last match of the day is between Lipscomb and Georgia at 2:30 p.m. in Allen Arena.
"The ability to once again play at home and play quality teams at home is awesome," Rosenthal said.
After Saturday's matches, Lipscomb once again stays home and faces Trevecca on Tuesday night.

With her dark eyes and delicate, quick movements, at times Winona Ryder seems like a bird in flight.
No wonder she excelled in the role of the ''dying swan'' ballet dancer Beth Macintyre, in Black Swan in 2010. Her fragility is the first thing you notice.
Michael Shannon, her co-star in The Iceman, a drama about the mob contract killer Richard Kuklinski, says, "I feel very protective of her. It's like that King Kong vibe of 'everyone leave her alone.' "
Of course Ryder has never been left alone – not since the age of 17, when she got her break in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. And when, in 2001, she was charged with shoplifting in Beverly Hills, it was a guarantee of a media, if not a criminal, tag for life. Winona Ryder was the starlet who became a screwball.
The actress, 40, underwent her own personal rehabilitation years ago, and now Hollywood is rediscovering her, too. Since her supporting role in Black Swan, she's had box-office success with Vince Vaughn in comedy The Dilemma, has just reunited with Burton for animated horror Frankenweenie, and is also receiving acclamation on the festival circuit for the part of Deborah Kuklinski, wife of Richard, in The Iceman.
No wonder she is chirruping away: she talks for minutes at a time, hardly pausing for breath, which she attributes to nerves. She barely looks 30, never mind 40, and you feel that if you cut her through, all you would find is sweetness.
Frankenweenie is the first movie Ryder has made with Burton in 21 years. His Beetlejuice and later Edward Scissorhands made her a star. She credits him with ''her whole career''. A career that is now entering a new phase.
''As you get older, it becomes more about how good a role is rather than how large it is,'' she says. ''So I loved those parts in Black Swan and The Iceman. When you are younger, we all think, 'I want to be the lead, I have to be the lead', but no offence to anyone, the supporting parts are often better. You're not going to find me like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, watching old movies that I have made. It's nice not to have everything focused on you. For example, with Natalie Portman in Black Swan, I felt, 'It's your turn now, I had my go.' Let's be honest, I had a good run at lead roles, and it's kind of nice to be out of it.''
Ryder credits the past few years as being ''the best in my life''.
''I just wanted a normal existence,'' she says, wistfully. ''And that's what I have been concentrating on for the last five or 10 years. I stay well away from Los Angeles.''

The story of King Wu Ding (武丁) and Lady Hao (婦好), who ruled the Shang dynasty at its height, had long been the stuff of legend, part of a corpus of works about good rulers embodying the virtues of the ruling class. They were moral exemplars, and their existence was dismissed as mythology by serious academics. This idealized couple came roaring back into the pages of real history following large-scale archaeological excavations in 1928 by the Institute of History and Philology of Academia Sinica (中央研究院歷史語言研究所) at the site of the former capital of the Shang dynasty at modern-day Anyang (安陽), Henan Province.
These excavations proved conclusively that the Shang Dynasty was a fact of history, and suggested that King Wu Ding might be a bit more than just a figure from a mythical golden age. Discovery followed on discovery and the Shang dynasty began to acquire greater historical detail, culminating in 1976 when the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中國社會科學院考古研究所) made the remarkable discovery of the undisturbed tomb of Wu Ding's fascinating consort, Lady Hao, at a palace in modern Xiaotun (小屯).
Many of the artifacts from the earlier excavations were brought over to Taiwan and are in the collection of the Academia Sinica in Taipei, while the rich finds of the later excavations remain in China. King Wu Ding and Lady Hao — Art and Culture of the Late Shang Dynasty (商王武丁與后婦好 ─ 殷商盛世文化藝術) represents the bringing together of artifacts from these two related finds (along with a few bits and pieces from other sources), long separated by later historical developments, and a rounding off of a fascinating story of courtly life in China more than 3,000 years ago.
The exhibition organized by City x Culture (雙瑩文創) in coordination with the National Palace Museum, presents a stunning collection of artifacts, from bronze cleaning utensils (a dust pan, identical in shape and function to the plastic versions that can be found at any dollar shop in Taipei is a personal highlight), to highly ornamented ritual vessels, as well as a quantity of oracle bones, used during the Shang for divination, and the earliest examples of the Chinese script, that has continued in an unbroken line of development to the present day.
The oracle bones are some of the most valuable artifacts in existence in the study of early society in China. They are, in fact, not much to look at, and more than anything else, they are a testament to the efforts of scholars who have been able to make sense of the faint etchings on turtle shells and animal bones. The work, closely related to cryptography, has revealed the things that the rulers of Shang felt were important. War and weather rang high in these concerns, but it is also touching to find a question regarding Lady Hao's toothache. It is this sort of detail that brings the exhibition to life, but the predominant tone of the exhibition is one of exaggerated scholarly reserve.
Lady Hao by all accounts was a most remarkable woman, if the stories are to be believed, taking the role of a war leader against invaders at a time when her royal master was indisposed. Regular references to her on the oracle bones, one of the highest instruments of policy-making in the Shang, reinforce legendary tales of her as a woman of significant resource and power. Vessels of cast bronze with intricate designs and ornaments with turquoise inlay testify to the high level of craftsmanship that had been achieved at the time, and point to a history of aesthetic development dating from a much earlier period.

San Jose decides it's 'Visual Computing Week'
And just where does that leave National Bowling Week?
Posted in The Channel, 25th August 2008 20:24 GMT
The heat rising from San Jose isn't merely an effect of a convention center full of GTX 280 cards being flipped on at once. Nvidia's decision to host its inaugural computing conference, Nvision 08, this week in the company's home town has fanned the flames of passion inside city officials.
Mayor Chuck Reed along with the San Jose, California city council has proclaimed August 20-27 "Visual Computing Week." Let it be known throughout the land that all good citizens of San Jose should begin ...appreciating high-performance graphics processing. Just try harder if you're already in the business of caring.
(Locals may inquire if they are exempt from seven days of GPU adoration by checking section 403 of the San Jose city charter regarding district boundaries.)
"NVIDIA and the NVISION 08 event have demonstrated the market growth and cultural shift that can happen when art and technology come together," said Reed. "As the capital of Silicon Valley, San Jose remains the epicenter for digital technology and is the perfect place to stage an event which demonstrates the creativity and innovation that defines the region."
