Joplin school officials will hold an information session on their proposed redistricting plan beginning at 6 p.m. tonight at the administration building, 3901 E. 32nd St.
The plan would redraw existing boundaries for several elementary schools and would also change the middle schools into which four elementary schools currently feed students. If approved, it would take effect this fall.
Anyone wishing to comment on the plan will be able to do so during a public hearing before the Board of Education, which will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. tonight.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Life and Death
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
Sorrow and Anticipation
This video offers a striking visual metaphor for the spiritual death of sin. The unsettling music and vivid depictions of decay remind us of what was at stake as Christ hung high on Calvary.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Series: Human Evolution in Theological Context
Physicist, theologian, and minister George Murphy offers a theological look at human evolution and the implications it has for Christianity.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Paul's Perspective on Adam
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question of how Adam functions theologically in the Old Testament and whether a historical Adam is central or important for the "Adam theology" in Paul's letter to the Romans.
Daniel Harrell on Adam and Eve
In this video, the Rev. Daniel Harrell discusses how there may be some "middle ground" in the way that Christians understand Adam and Eve. Harrell points out that the historicity of Adam and Eve does not necessarily conflict with science.
A "Historical" Adam?
I'm prepared to accept the basic facts of human evolution. I'm also prepared to consider generously the views of the many fine theologians and scholars concerning a non-"literal" Adam. However, I'm not prepared to suggest that these facts elide any possibility of a "historical" Adam.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Understanding Genesis and the Fall
In this video clip, Denis Alexander discusses the description of the Fall found in Genesis. Alexander suggests that the picture we might have of the story owes more to the imaginative expansion of the narrative as found in Milton's Paradise Lost than what is actually present in the biblical text itself.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Randomness and Evolution: Is There Room for God? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
Chance Creation
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."

Even if the photo were not black and white, and even if it were not watermarked with the name of a once widely circulated magazine that has been more defunct than not since 1972, it would be dated by the lit cigar in what appears to be an office, a practice that has been outlawed in most of the West for some time now.
That aside, the cigar smoker in the photo is a man named Alexander Korda, the Hungarian born producer who almost literally was the British motion picture industry for the last twenty-five years of his life. And other than to illustrate his good taste in Cuban tobacco, as demonstrated by the bowl (bowl!) of cigars atop his desk, the purpose of the photo is to show the not-quite-a-legend-but-considered-to-be-very-well-dressed Mr. Korda wearing a black necktie. Now Korda was known to have gray neckties in his wardrobe, unlike contemporaries such as Aristotle Onassis who was quoted as saying he wore black exclusively so his rivals could not guess his mood, but in wearing that lack of color he joined quite a few well dressed men who limited themselves to black knits and black satin neckties for their city clothes.
The wearing of solid black neckties remains a practice that has not dated at all provided one still wears neckties in the first place. It makes particular sense when a man is wearing black shoes with his suit, as he once did exclusively in England and the United States generally. Black satin has a sheen to it that contrasts with worsted jackets, the black silk knit adds texture to ensembles, and both complement polished black leather on the feet in a quiet sort of way.
All this rambling came about because I chose a black knit for myself yesterday, to wear with burgundy monktraps, and my tan Solaro suit. I had not had it out for a while, but it looked good despite relating to nothing else I had on. A black necktie usually does.

Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, left, testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on voting regulations. (Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images / December 19, 2012) |
WASHINGTON – Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee debated the necessity of voter ID laws and early-voting restrictions Wednesday, with Democrats accusing Republicans of aiming to suppress the votes of African Americans and Latinos.
The hearing followed incidents in which many voters, in Florida in particular, stood in line for hours to cast their ballots in November's presidential election, with some eventually giving up.
Democrats on the panel of witnesses said some of the current voting policies around the country disproportionately affect African Americans, Latinos, seniors and the working poor.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) criticized what he called politically motivated efforts by the Republican Party, including voter ID laws and restrictions on early voting, which are "clearly designed to disenfranchise likely Democratic voters."
PHOTOS: Notable moments of the 2012 presidential election
One example cited was the elimination of access to early voting in Florida on the Sunday before the Tuesday election – a day traditionally used by many African Americans and Latinos to cast their votes.
But Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the committee, said the efforts were "common-sense measures" introduced merely to combat voter fraud, not to suppress voting.
Asked about the extent of the problem of voter fraud in his state, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, a Republican, said he had found only six voters who were ineligible to vote, but added that access to a citizenship database could probably make the task of finding ineligible voters easier.
He said the challenge remains of maintaining the balance between "voters' rights and election integrity."
Arizona's secretary of state, Republican Ken Bennett, acknowledged that while it is a fundamental right for a citizen to be able to cast a ballot, it is also a person's right to be assured that their vote is "not being canceled out" or being offset by someone who is not legally allowed to vote.
Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a Democrat in the South Carolina Legislature, whose district is 63% African American, asked the committee to acknowledge the "history of racism and discrimination" that plays a part in voter suppression laws.

For many voters, "an ID is something that is difficult to come by," Cobb-Hunter said.
Women who are divorced, for example, may find that they have to incur the expense of going through a name-change process before they will be allowed to vote.
Cobb-Hunter told the committee that many of her constituents are people who were born on farms, delivered by midwives, and as such their births are often recorded in the family Bible.
It's "not a case of supporting fraud," she said, but about the effort and expense sometimes entailed in a poorer person obtaining an ID.

I rarely go to songwriter rounds because many times, for every one great writer, you have to sit through 3 or 4 bad ones. The other night at the famous Bluebird Café was an exception.
I mainly went to see my clients The Stellas, and they did not disappoint, with their fun and tender lyrics and amazing harmonies. Every song was great.
There was another writer there whom I'd never heard before. He's written hits for Steve Wariner, Brooks & Dunn, Patty Loveless, Josh Turner and many more. John Scott Sherrill is a 60-ish hippie/cowboy- looking character that made you wonder exactly what would come out of his mouth.
And what came out was amazing. You can't call the man a great singer, and this round was NOT about the 55% (what the audience sees), because what the audience saw was 4 people sitting in a circle, playing guitars. John was only about the other 45%.
His lyrics tell stories that get into your soul…. so much of what country music is about. It will lose something in translation, but one lyric struck me. Among other lines and analogies, the chorus said, 'that's not lightening tearing the sky, that's not the sound of angel voices…that's just you, crossin' my mind'.
Maybe reading that doesn't hit you, but the way he sang it – or barely sang it. You could hardly see his mouth move (think Willy Nelson), but what came out was emotion and heart. It ran all through me.
And even though we enjoyed the other songwriters, when it was John's turn each round, the audience visibly leaned in, knowing that we were going to hear something magical. The room got extra quiet as he skillfully played an interesting rhythm to set up what was coming.
In a humorous song called, 'It's Hard to be a Hippie Anymore', he sings lines like, "the only thing I'm trippin' on is my two feet, tryin' to keep up with the times". Clever writing.
If you're a singer/songwriter, learn how to tell a story well with your lyrics and deliver a song using the right tone and emotion. But THEN, go after the 55%; make sure the audience has something interesting and engaging to SEE when you are doing a show.
Change things up onstage with the tools you use. Standing, sitting, moving around, switching from guitar to keys. Learn how to talk to the audience and how to engage them and get them to sing or clap along.
We can teach you this stuff. Check out our Tom Jackson Productions Bootcamps here: http://tinyurl.com/7l4egl one day event coming up in Nashville this July that's very affordable. Nobody leaves these, sorry that they came.
Russ, thanks for such a perfect illustration. I'm glad you were able to experience this and analyze the difference in the two performers effect on you, the audience. Telling a great story is a skill that most artists need to develop as well. Another note here though...I don't like when artists talk between every song - it's too much. Some songs should stand on their own, and the way they're presented (leaving pauses, space, using dynamics) can be powerful moments. The way John Scott sang his songs - the raw emotion there, the rise and fall, and taking time to 'milk' the song as opposed to rushing though it, was what made his stuff magical. Appreciate the dialogue Russ!
OK, I thought about your responses to my comments on your post. I decided to do some "research" and found the perfect "subjects." Thursday night, my wife and I went to the opening of the Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman series. The headliner was Vince Gill and friends supported by Sarah Jarosz, a young singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and her friends. I believe they provided two prime examples of what you're talking about in your posts.
First of all, the concert was a peak experience for both of us. We've had very little exposure to true Bluegrass music and we were absolutely stunned by the excellence of the performances and musicianship all around. It was also the first time we'd seen Vince Gill live and he delivered far more than anyone in the audience could have expected. Even after more than two hours, Gill and the boys literally didn't want to leave the stage. The only reason they did was because some idiot turned up the house lights and the emcee said we had to leave. But, we and many others in the audience would have stayed as long as they played.
Secondly, both performers built in various opportunities to make personal connections with the audience and deliver those "moments" you wrote about. Both acts were totally acoustic, and Jarosz and Gill used the interval between songs to "chat" while ostensibly tuning their instruments. It's hard to believe professional musicians needed so much time to tune up. So, after the second interval everyone kinda knew this was a time-stretching, storytelling device. No matter, we were all willing to accept this.
On one hand, Jarosz, who has formidable chops, a good, but unremarkable voice, and about as much stage presence as a mic stand, absolutely wasted every opportunity to connect. She issued a steady steam of pat platitudes - the honor of opening for "Vince," the honor of playing at the Ryman, how "cool" everything was, please buy my records, etc. There were no stories about her journey to this magical point in her young career. She gave no insights into her (original?) songs, nothing to truly interest us and make us care about her or her music. There were no "moments." Yes, her "content" was strong, but it was IMO substantially weakened by her useless "business" between songs, She would have done herself far more good by simply shutting up and playing her mandolin.
On the other hand, Gill's storytelling was exceptional and utterly mesmerizing. He shared deeply personal and genuinely entertaining stories about the road, his career, family and legendary musical colleagues. These alone were almost worth the price of admission. And each one connected powerfully with each and every person in the auditorium.
For the most part, he related each story to the song that followed. This made each song all the more meaningful to us because they were personally meaningful to him. The stories became an integral part of the performance, nearly as important as the musical content. And trust me, the music needed NO embellishment whatsoever to conceal or distract from any weaknesses. The stories and the music complemented each other perfectly. The result was a continuous stream of magical moments - music, story, music, story, etc. - throughout his set. He had all of us in the palm of his hand. I've never seen or heard anything like it.
Of course, Gill has the advantage of drawing stories from 55 years of life and a 35-year Hall-of-Fame career. Either he's a born storyteller or he has developed and honed this talent to absolutely perfection over the years. His lyrics certainly support this supposition. However, I'd be willing to concede that, at some point, he may have enlisted a professional performance coach to point him in the right direction. But his stories are so real and his delivery so natural that I'd have a tough time believing that such ability could be coached.
Jarosz is younger and has far less life experience than Gill. Also, she's probably not as comfortable in front of an audience as he. Some people can't tell a story (or a joke) to save their lives. Maybe Jarosz is one of these people. But someone should recognize this (her management or even Gill, who seems to be a staunch supporter) and, yes, take steps to teach her how to connect, relate to and transform an audience. This gig is a golden career opportunity and she needs to make the most of every "moment."
If Jarosz would have had the benefit of a professional performance coach, it probably would have helped he immensely that night, but ONLY if that person could help find her own meaningful stories to tell in her own, authentic storytelling voice. The reason Gill's storytelling voice is so powerful is because he speaks honestly and truthfully from within and from experience. Any attempt to put someone else's words in Jarosz's mouth would only result in more transparent attempts to ingratiate, more superficial banter and more lost opportunities to make audiences "feel something."
So, to make a long story short, I'm beginning to see what you mean and understand the value of what you do.
Got it - thanks Robert!
Agreed Amy...
and the link is in the last paragraph.....
We can teach you this stuff. Check out our Tom Jackson Productions Bootcamps here: http://tinyurl.com/7l4eglj…there's a one day event coming up in Nashville this July that's very affordable. Nobody leaves these, sorry that they came.see it? it has the ....there in the link ansd it does not come up.
Thanks Robert! Not sure what link you are referring to - I tried the ones at the end of my blog and they worked ok-? The most important part of what we do when working with an artist, is to create moments. This starts with the song arrangement and pulling out the cool stuff in there that a typical audience member may miss if we don't show them. Is it a fun moment, touching moment, maybe an audience participation thing? We develop that first. Then visually, making each song look a little bit different, using tools (mic stand, stool, which instrument etc), movement, and more. The big key is understanding what the audience wants, and working your set to that end!
Hi Amy, Your link isn't working.... looks like the ...there's is /has become part of it and so doesn't take one to the page expected..
Hey we saw John Scott Sherrill at the Commodore Grille, yup ultimately entertaining.
For me, music and emotion is so important, but without something visually engaging, it just doesn't come across.
Not to denigrate good songs or talented singer songwriters or musicians/bands.
All are selling something, talent, songs, yourself. The more full the package the sooner the sale.
I didn't fully explain the percentage thing, because most artists on our 'Backstage Pass' site that I wrote this for know this already. 'Communication from the stage' is 15% content, 30% - the tone or emotion it's delivered with, and 55% what the audience sees. Now I can't speak for the group you were in or the type of audience that attended your shows, but am talking about Joe-schmo audience member that doesn't understand musical things. They just know if the FEEL something - if they connect with you. For the most part, audiences don't really go to shows hear you play perfectly. (Not that artists shouldn't try!) They go for those moments. And no matter how good the music in most cases, if they just see the same thing song after song, they can start to tune out.
By the way, 'Hello Nashville' is one of the bad habits we tell artists NOT to do! So many cliches out there that people say and do that it's very hard to go to concerts anymore - even with top level artists! I'm constantly critiquing! :-/
Everything we teach is focused on becoming a natural part of an artists show. It needs to be rehearsed until it feels natural however. Some artists just want to 'wing it' but that rarely works. Spontenaity can be a part of the show, but must begin with form. And just to brag on my boss Tom Jackson and everything that he's developed over the years, we've never seen this stuff NOT work.
With respect, when you say that out of 100% of a performance 55% is "what the audience sees," that denotes that the visual is more important than any other component, including the content. That is my main point of contention. And for the record, a performance is a performance no matter whether it's a writer's round at Bluebird or sold-out stadium concert.
When I was in college I performed with an internationally known Eastern European folk music and dance ensemble. In each two-hour show, (think of an Eastern European version of Riverdance) there was ZERO direct audience interaction, no sets and minimal staging (other than the choreographies), lighting and sound reinforcement. All of the sung and spoken content was in various native languages. There was no "OpTrans." We as performers had to connect with, engage and transform our audiences solely on the merits of the material we presented and the quality of our ensemble and individual performances. Each performance was 100% content driven.
The content changed completely from season to season (even Riverdance has remained virtually unchanged since 1995). Therefore, each time an audience saw a performance they were almost totally unfamiliar with the content. But based on our previous performances, they knew the quality of performance and the entertainment value we would deliver. And regardless of whether we played in Upper Cupcake, Iowa or at The Kennedy Center, we delivered a transformative audience experience. They smiled, laughed, cried, clapped, cheered, stood, remembered and came back the next year. BTW, this ensemble recently celebrated its 75th season.
My point is that the most important audience connection can and must be made through the content. That is what establishes, builds and sustains the audience/artist relationship, sells tickets and creates success. The highest quality and most enduring connections come naturally from the audience's resonance with the artist's content and the "moments" created by performing that content. They will not come from any pre-programmed, rehearsed movements and banter in between songs.
Sure, "Hello Nashville!" gets a predictable reaction every time. But in the overall context of the experience, it's meaningless. Also, such manufactured moments can be perceived as impersonal and insincere, especially if the same fan sees them many times over. They become "part of the act" instead of real, meaningful attempts to bond with the audience that arise organically from the content. Audiences can smell "shtick" a mile away and they react accordingly.
Of course, not all acts can be 100% content driven. That's where my 20% factor for audience interaction and engagement comes in. If the content alone can't seal the deal with the audience, the artist must create "alternative" opportunities to engage the audience. No argument there. U2's Moment of Surrender cell phone galaxy is a classic example of an engagement tactic that perfectly complements the content at just the right time to produce a transformative moment. It works every time. But if the artist has to work harder to win the audience using non-content engagement, they should revise or improve the content, engage the right audience or find another line of work.
I certainly don't mean to denigrate the services you provide. They can make a world of difference under the right circumstances. But they should only be used as spice for the stew, not the meat and potatoes. That's what your 55/45 premise seems to recommend. If an artist can't deliver 80% of the experience via the content, no amount of spice will be enough to satisfy audience expectations. As with all spices, choosing the right ones is critical, and less is more.
Please don't misunderstand me Russ – I didn't say the visual is MORE important than the songs, it just does a lot to enhance your set. And I'm not talking about a writers round – that's a different animal. I'm talking about when you go out and perform your own set in front of an audience.
You can have great songs, but if you don't know how to connect with your audience, you've lost.
I'm not talking about theatrics, lighting and props either. There's much that can be done to change things up visually for the audience. Great artists understand that audiences go to shows for 3 reasons; to be captured an engaged, to experience moments, and, in some cases, to be changed. Once you understand the audience expectation and put your concerts together with that in mind, everyone wins!
Keep in mind that the artists you mentioned are all 'married' to their audience. People have/had heard their songs on the radio before even seeing a show. They can get by with just standing there and singing their songs for the most part.
But given the fact that most artists now – signed or unsigned – are going to make most of their income (95-100%) from their live performances, then artists HAVE to learn how to engage an audience and win them over at their shows. Cuz they may never GET mainstream airplay!
I can't get into all that we do in a comment, but check out our website. (There are some links befow for some of our 'free pass' blogs.) There's some real meat in the subscription site – before/after videos that really show how we work with an artist.

Thanks again for commenting!
At the risk of exposing my utter lack of experience and naivete, I'm gonna have to go out on a limb here and wholeheartedly disagree with your entire 55/45 premise. I believe in the old adage, "If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage." Any time the percentage of "what an audience sees" in a performance is more important, impressive and meaningful than the musical and lyrical content, there's something wrong. IMO, your 55/45 rule advocates and encourages "flash over substance" - a deception to distract attention from inherently weak content, performance and talent. When an artist has to rely on sets, lights, staging and "business" to carry the majority of a performance, it's time for him or her to go back to the drawing board.
Sure, these "tools" add depth and dimension to the performance. They also help connect the artist to audience. That's why they've been used since theater began. But such affectations should support the art, the music and the message. Not the other way around. When they do, the performance is generally not worth the audience's attention. The "effects" become the show and the artist concedes that his or her work cannot stand alone on its own merits. In other words, "It ain't on the page."
Think of legendary performances from solo artists ranging from Judy Garland to Bob Dylan to James Taylor to Yo-Yo Ma (and many others). None of them needed anything but a voice, an instrument, (maybe) a mic and a venue to communicate the genius of their music and artistry. The didn't need 55% of their performances to be glib banter and slick staging. And yet, their audiences "leaned in" in anticipation of their next note, their next syllable.
Now, think of a KISS concert.
While I recognize the need to optimize the overall live performance experience, I'd rather rely on the 80/20 rule with 80% of the performance being content driven. It's why the audience is there in the first place. That's what is (or should be) the most important, impressive and meaningful component of the experience. The remaining 20% is (or should be) the sizzle on the steak. And that's important, too. It makes the performance that much more satisfying.
My two cents.

Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
I am trying to find out a bit more about the life of Ernest Brooks, best known for his 1st World War photographs, who was also for a few years an official photographer to the British royal family. In particular I was wondering whether he could have accompanied King George V and Queen Mary on their tour of India in 1911-12 and taken photographs which were put in a commemorative album "The King Emperor's Indian Durbar Tour 1911-12".
Any information gratefully received.
Tags: Ernest Brooks, India
Dear John
Thank you for this information, it is most helpful. I have been meaning to contact the Royal Archives at Windsor to find out more about the origins of this album, it would seem likely that some of the photographs in it would come from him. They certainly look like the work of a professional photographer.
Graham Hogg
We also have him credited to Keystone Press Agency..
Dear Sarah
Thanks for this information. Was it normal for photographers to be working for two press agencies on a tour like this?
Ah - sorry - I simply mean he also worked for keystone not that he was employed by them specifically on the tour. sorry for the confusion.
Hi Graham
Yes he did indeed accompany them. He also had a studio at 1 Buckingham Palace Road, London 1914 - 1915. His photographs of the First World War are at the Imperial War Museum, as you probably know. Let me know if I can be of further help.

Oscar snubs leave Globes with also-ran nominees
Actor Ben Affleck arrives at the BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party at The Four Seasons Hotel on Saturday, in Los Angeles.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Hollywood's junior prom for film honors features quite a different cast than the senior prom at next month's Academy Awards.
Sunday night's Golden Globes are in a rare place this season, coming after the Oscar nominations, which were announced earlier than usual and threw out some shockers that have left the Globe show a little less relevant.
Key Globe contenders lined up largely as expected, with Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga "Lincoln" leading with seven nominations and two CIA thrillers — Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Ben Affleck's "Argo" — also doing well.
Yet while "Lincoln," "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" grabbed best-picture slots for the Oscars, Bigelow and Affleck were snubbed for directing honors after a season that had seen them in the running for almost every major award.

A Wander through San Francisco's Chinatown
San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest Chinese community on the West Coast, and the second largest in the United States next to New York City's. "This city within a city is a historic maze of mysterious sights, where an ancient culture from the other side of the world survives and flourishes with remarkable authenticity" It is one of the top tourist attractions in San Francisco which I had only a short time to wander through.
The reality of Chinatown is that there are two Chinatowns. One belongs to the locals, the other charms the tourists. They overlap and dance with each other, drawing more visitors annually than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Why the popularity? Because visitors expect something they won't find anywhere else. They expect to be stunned and enchanted and stuffed with great food. And you will. I can't wait to go back and explore on a deeper level and peel off the layers of what Chinatown is all about.
You don't need an itinerary to tackle Chinatown. Wandering aimlessly, weaving between locals and ducking into shops is enough of a plan. Main Street for tourists is Grant Avenue, which is more about cheap and kitschy plastic Buddhas than the long heritage of Chinatown. A word of advise if you are headed up to the North Beach area, Grant Street is a relatively flat route to the top without the use of the cable car system. It should definitely be seen, but moving on to the next block can be more rewarding.
Chinatown Gate is a gloriously decorated gate that marks the entry to Grant Avenue's Chinatown, the tourist's Chinatown. It was unveiled in 1970, and helped secure the street's status as the neighborhood's center. Once you're past the gate, you'll see elaborate 1920s streetlights sculpted to resemble golden dragons lighting the way. The sights and sounds of Chinatown are worth even a quick visit on your way to explore the rest of what San Francisco has to offer.
11 comments:
Interesting. I always thought the Chinatown in SF was bigger than the one in NY.
Exploring food in a place like this could be both exciting and scary. I'm so used to Americanized "Chinese" food that I'm always a little afraid of what I might find in a place like this. Will Mrs. Pickypants fall in love - or be disgusted?
Keep bringing on these great SF posts!

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made clear what he meant when he said Israel should be "wiped off" the map and touched on everything from the Holocaust to homosexuality in a wide-ranging interview that aired Monday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."
The president, speaking through a translator, also said what his country would do if attacked by Israel, and he slammed an anti-Islam film that has triggered protests in the Muslim world.
"If a group comes and occupies the United States of America, destroys homes while women and children are in those homes, incarcerate the youth of America, impose five different wars on many neighbors, and always threaten others, what would you do? What would you say? Would you help it? ... Or would you help the people of the United States?" Ahmadinejad asked in response to whether Israel should be "wiped off" the face of the map, as he once said.
"So when we say 'to be wiped,' we say for occupation to be wiped off from this world. For war-seeking to (be) wiped off and eradicated, the killing of women and children to be eradicated. And we propose the way. We propose the path. The path is to recognize the right of the Palestinians to self-governance."
When asked whether he believes in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Ahmadinejad declined to comment.
"I cannot express an opinion. That is their prerogative," Ahmadinejad said. "But the people of Palestine must be allowed by everyone, and helped by everyone, to allow them, to give them the right to choose for themselves."
In New York this week to visit the United Nations, Ahmadinejad spoke at a meeting on the rule of law Monday and is scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with the Iranian president over the weekend and warned him of the "potentially harmful consequences of inflammatory rhetoric," according to a U.N. statement.
During his speech Monday, Ahmadinejad accused "some members of the Security Council with veto rights" of having "chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads of a fake regime, while at the same time they impede scientific progress of other nations."
Though he didn't name the countries, he was clearly talking about the United States, Israel and his own country.

OKI loved this book so much that I didn't want to turn it off. I was listening to it while hiking at the mountain and I got some amused looks when passers-by saw me laughing out loud. It's funny, interesting, insightful and honest. My only disappointment is that it ended.
I am actually not a big fan of the Bob Newhart TV shows, but I absolutely LOVED this book!
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
I am so very glad I downloaded this book, sadly however because we've just lost this great humorist. And now I've just found his books. I've heard him on "This American Life" and loved him. This book had me embarrassing myself laughing loudly while walking in to work. The first half was best but the whole book very worthwhile. Enjoy!!!!

Evergreen Helicopters sold to Erickson Air-Crane
Mar 19, 2013 | 3 Comments
News-Register Staff
Evergreen Aviation has agreed to sell off its subsidary Evergreen Helicopters Inc. to Portland-based Erickson Air-Crane Inc. in a deal that could top out at $276 million, it was announced Tuesday.
The Evergreen family of companies has seen a spate of lawsuits in recent months, alleging failure to pay bills, and has had its credit sharply downgraded by Standard & Poor's, and Moody's, and in 2012, paid employees late on multiple occasions.
Erickson went public last year and operates a fleet of 14 heavy-lift helicopters. With its purchase of Evergreen helicopters, the company will add 64 aircrafts to its fleet, consisting of both helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes. The fleet serves customers around the world, with a current presence in North America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Under terms of the deal, which is expected to close during the second quarter of this year, Evergreen helicopters will be acquired for $185 million in cash, $17.5 million in unsecured promissory notes issued by Erickson Air-Crane and about four million preferred shares of Erickson Air-Crane, valued at $47.5 million. An additional $26.3 million may be paid to Evergreen, contingent on certain revenue targets for the calendar years 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The sale marks the departure of Evergreen Aviation's founding business. Owner Delford Smith founded Evergreen Helicopters in 1960.

As the Spring/Summer 2012 collection brings Scandinavian stories to life, ECCO invites you to become part of a Nordic fairytale that begins and ends with the foot. The latest collection epitomizes the Spring/Summer 2012 fashion trends, eloquently binding together stories of the past and visions of the future. An apt metaphor for ECCO itself, which for the past nearly five decades has remained true to its original design DNA while continuously striving to stay ahead of the curve in both comfort and style. The result speaks for itself with collections that challenge others to keep up with ECCO's supreme quality and both stylistic and technological innovation.
The defining trends of the ECCO Spring/Summer 2012 collection are presented on the following pages. Transition and Modern Romance extend bridges into the past, while Future Contrast invites us to experience a bright and upbeat future that's at once cutting-edge and mindful of its roots. Transition is a trend which can be experienced as a journey into a blossoming spring forest at dusk – the source of inspiration behind Transition's subdued, natural look and feel. Modern Romance conjures up images of the romantic Scandinavia that author Astrid Lindgren (the creator of Pippi Longstockings) made famous: enchanting settings in the picturesque countryside, vintage clothes as they tend to their barns, milk the cows, and dance in the corn fields after harvest. On one hand a romantic and idyllic trend but on the other hand, the trend also embraces women's femininity and sensuality in a subdued way -When interpreted with a modern twist of 2012 it results in a shoe collection with distinctive design features flirting with romance.. And Future Contrast represents a completely new fusion of strong, bold colors, innovation and optimism: a blend that caters to the active lifestyle of both urban explorers and trendsetters.
The collection features an abundance of materials ranging from yak leather to camel and nubuck. Its spirit of freedom and inventiveness creates a captivating medley of diverse yet well-synced styles. All shapes find their place as the old mixes with the new, unleashing a bold creative spirit and heralding a new era brimming with potential.
Here's to being one with nature. As your wardrobe transitions from winter to spring, let the sun's first rays of sunshine bring a careful optimism into our lives The Transition trend captures the spirit of the time, with our lives still influenced by the crisis but with a careful optimism which will be infusing wardrobes with the same lush shades and smooth, natural shapes you'd find in the spring forest at dawn. Spring's bountiful nature brings a raw, organic expression to the season's shoes – and we see wardrobe colors and materials reflecting the earthy tactility of the flora and fauna that thrive around us. Orange hues in particular lend a raw yet soft glow to both dress and shoes. The result is a less-is-more look that mimics nature's own design. Brushed nubuck leather lends a soft edge while tougher wood makes frequent appearances in heels, seamlessly pairing with leather to embody minimalistic naturalism. All shapes are curved and gentle on the feet. Moss green, autumn leaf red and bark brown dominate the color palette and make a strong match when paired with other autumn hues like rust, plum and mustard. Transition represents an era of simple living.
Modern Romance
The Modern Romance trend mirrors the quintessential Scandinavian summer look: dreamy and current, with a feminine, rose-colored palette. Floral prints and handcrafted details evoke a sense of love-stricken enchantment. But this modern love story is no old-fashioned Harlequin romance: the new heroine is strong-willed and independent, and the trend's clean-cut, edgy and authentic look is a reflection of her modern visions and dreams. As ECCO revisits the most feminine fashions of times past, don't be fooled by the resulting collection's innocent demeanor: alongside the trend's simple styling, sun-bleached earthy tones and general girlish appeal, you'll find raw, sexy details. Expect an abundance of ballerina shoes and softly curved lines for your nostalgic summer wardrobe. This juxtaposing trend is not unlike the famous white sand dunes of northern Denmark's Skagen: hopelessly romantic and mysterious on a summer night at the bonfire, yet raw and fierce on a windy summer day, when the waves reach unexpected heights and the wind nips at your cheeks. Like a truly modern romance, this passion-infused summer look asks only that you prepare yourself for the unexpected.
Future Contrast
All those ready to break with tradition and take a leap of faith ahead can rest assured: the future looks very bright. Taking a confident step forward, the Future Contrast trend presents an unquestionably upbeat vision of what's to come, with strong, confident contrasts and bright colors offering a veritable feast for the eyes. Propelling new technology and materials to center stage, Future Contrast defiantly leaves the old behind and plays with novel ways of catering to the active lifestyle. The sleek, independence-infused graphic styles feature new mixes of materials and trendsetting shapes. Even the soles vibrate with eye-catching hues. Organic shapes dominate the leather and textile blends, tailored to perfection with digital and abstract prints. Hovering on a new frequency, this future-inspired part of ECCO's collection serves up almost architectonically harsh, attention-grabbing styles. A trend that gives active souls a chance to experience a brand-new graphic rhythm certain to become the youthful anthem of the season.

KANSAS CITY, MO. – Iowa Wesleyan College guards Rachel Mitchell (Sr.-Des Moines, Iowa) and Ali DeVries (Jr.-Bellevue, Iowa) have been named NAIA Division II Women's Basketball Honorable Mention All-Americans for the 2008-09 season, it was announced Tuesday night by the NAIA.
Mitchell received the honor for the second time in her career and the second time in three years, while DeVries received All-American recognition for the first time. The two are the sixth and seventh NAIA All-Americans in school history and add to a long list of IWC women receiving All-American honors dating back to the school's years as an Amateur Athletic Union power.
Mitchell and DeVries were both named First Team All-Midwest Collegiate Conference this season and were part of a Wesleyan team that finished 22-10. The Tigers won the MCC regular season and tournament titles and were ranked 22nd nationally at the end of the season. IWC competed in the NAIA Division II National Tournament, losing in the first round in overtime to Concordia (Ore.) University.
Mitchell finished the season averaging 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Her 155 assists this season ranks among the top single-season totals in school history, and she finished her career second all-time in assists at IWC with 400, four short of tying the school record.
Mitchell also finished her career with 992 points scored, just missing 1,000 points for her career. She received national honors for the second time in her career, also being named to the honorable mention team in 2007, and finished her career a three-time First Team All-MCC performer.
DeVries averaged 11.8 points this season, second on the IWC team, and also added 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. She made 70 three-point baskets and hit 41.4% of her three-point tries for the season.
This year DeVries broke the school record for career three-pointers, finishing the year with 207 triples for her career. She also went over the 1,000-point mark for her career and currently is eighth all-time in IWC's modern era of collegiate competition with 1,126 points.
The selections of Mitchell and DeVries for All-American recognition brings the number of women's basketball All-Americans at Wesleyan to 32, including 25 between 1952-64 when the school was competing in the AAU ranks. Mitchell and DeVries are the 18th and 19th women's basketball players at IWC to receive All-American mention.
For more information regarding the IWC basketball programs or any of the Tiger athletic teams, contact sports information director Adam Glatczak (319-385-6306 phone; 319-385-6384 FAX; firstname.lastname@example.com e-mail) or log on to IWC's athletics web site at www.iwc.edu/athletics.

Teachable Moments are Everywhere
By: The Kid's Doctor Staff
Updated: July 18, 2012
I am laughing! Why? Because I'm playing several conversations in my head that I have had with my patients recently and how they have misinterpreted what I have said. I must admit, they are teachable moments for me as a pediatrician and a mom.
Once a child is potty trained and if they are having urinary complaints, I will order a urinalysis to check that the child is not having an infection. I will say to the 4 or 5 year old, it is time to pee-pee in the cup. Some children are fairly independent by then and they insist on going to the potty by themselves. This happened recently when a 5 year old little boy insisted that he could do it by myself. His mother and I walked him to the bathroom where I handed him the cup and a wipe and told him to clean himself and get the urine in the sterile cup. He shut the door.
A few minutes later the door opened and there stood a proud little boy, but no urine cup in his hands! Thinking he must have left the cup in the bathroom, his mom and I searched high and low. Still no cup!
After a few minutes I said, I told you to pee-pee in the cup. What happened? He looked at me quite confused (as I was too) and said that he had? He then proceeded to take me back into the bathroom and he walked us through how he had gotten his urine specimen. Not only had he pee-peed in the cup, he washed his hands, poured out the urine and put the cup back on the stack of urine cups! Point being, I had not said get your pee-pee in the cup AND bring it back to us! Bright boy, concrete thinker, and stupid doctor!
Now, I know that it is important to give clear directions to this very capable group of newly independent children. Why would you bring urine back out of the bathroom, right? Of course that makes no sense. Might even get you in trouble at home!
Teachable moment: give your children very clear instructions at any age as they are more than capable of following through when they know the expectations. I think this really goes for children of all ages, seems to work well with my college aged boys too! I need to remember this!
I have a few more teachable moments on their way. Stay tuned!

In PHP 5.2.5 (Windows) it is not possible to iterate correctly over the DOMNodeList object returned by DOMNode->childNodes using foreach. Instead I had to use the for loop in conjunction with the item() method of DOMNodeList for iterating over all child nodes correctly.
I don't know whether this is really a bug, but apparently it is.
The DOMNodeList class
Sinopse da classe
- length
The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length - 1 inclusive.
- DOMNodelist::item — Retrieves a node specified by index

If you want to recurse over a DOM then this might help:
* PHP's DOM classes are recursive but don't provide an implementation of
* RecursiveIterator. This class provides a RecursiveIterator for looping over DOMNodeList
class DOMNodeRecursiveIterator extends ArrayIterator implements RecursiveIterator {
public function __construct (DOMNodeList $node_list) {
$nodes = array();
foreach($node_list as $node) {
$nodes[] = $node;
public function getRecursiveIterator(){
return new RecursiveIteratorIterator($this, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
public function hasChildren () {
return $this->current()->hasChildNodes();
public function getChildren () {
return new self($this->current()->childNodes);

I have done some testing and have found 2 results:
(My System: Win XP with PHP 5.2.1)
1) Iteration with foreach does function correctly as "james dot j dot hackett at gmail dot com" writes, _if_ you only do readonly stuff with foreach or minor writings of some attributes.
2) foreach does not function, if you are doing some DOM-Operations while iterating. In my situation it was adding the iterated $node as an child to an new node:
$newNode = $dom->createElement('newNode') ;
foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
echo $node->nodeValue ;
$newNode->appendChild($node) ;
This only gives you the first element ...
I'm interpreting it as an confusing but correct behavior because of the changes within the $dom-object while appending the node at an additional place ...
So, if you want to do something like 2) use for, length and item() :)
geompse at gmail dot com ¶

Note that $length is calculated (php5.3.2).
Iterating over a large NodeList may be time expensive.
Prefer :
$nb = $nodelist->length;
for($pos=0; $pos<$nb; $pos++)
for($pos=0; $pos<$nodelist->length; $pos++)
I had a hard time figuring that out...
drichter at muvicom dot de ¶

Addition to my first note:
An traditional for-loop does not allow you to change the DOM-tree while looping - the effects are the nearly the same as with foreach. So you have to collect the nodes in an array and do the tree-altering stuff within a second loop (looping the array this time ...)

// Converts a DOMNodeList to an Array that can be easily foreached
function dnl2array($domnodelist) {
$return = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $domnodelist->length; ++$i) {
$return[] = $domnodelist->item($i);
return $return;

Get some nodes from an existing xml file and add them to a new file:
$dom = new DOMDocument;
/*create the xPath object _after_ loading the xml source, otherwise the query won't work:*/
$xPath = new DOMXPath($dom);
/*now get the nodes in a DOMNodeList:*/
$nodeList = $xPath->query($anXPathExpr);
/*create a new DOMDocument and add a root element:*/
$newDom = new DOMDocument('1.0','UTF-8');
$root = $newDom->createElement('root');
$root = $newDom->appendChild($root);
/* append all nodes from $nodeList to the new dom, as children of $root:*/
foreach ($nodeList as $domElement){
$domNode = $newDom->importNode($domElement, true);
/*please note: importNode does not cast a DOMElement to a DOMNode!*/
/*save the new dom */
echo 'Wrote: ' . $newDom->save('newDOM.xml') . ' bytes';
the following won't work and you'll end up with a DOMException: 'Wrong Document Error' (at least I did):
foreach ($nodeList as $element){
Cheers! ;-)

I doubt the accuracy of what saad105050 wrote below. In particular, in his example, he seems to assume that $element->getElementsByTagName() will return NULL if there are no matching nodes. This is not what happens; as per the documentation, a DOMNodeList is returned with the length property zero.
bobvandell at hotmail dot com ¶

That's actually incorrect. You can use function results as objects. It makes building an API for your database very clean and neat. For example:
Our code:
$articles = Node::screate('tags', 123456)->assets('like:title:test')->articles;
We use the above code to get articles that are linked to assets that are linked to a specific tag in our database.
c dot 1 at smithies dot org ¶

You can modify, and even delete, nodes from a DOMNodeList if you iterate backwards:
$els = $document->getElementsByTagName('input');
for ($i = $els->length; --$i >= 0; ) {
$el = $els->item($i);
switch ($el->getAttribute('name')) {
case 'MAX_FILE_SIZE' :
case 'inputfile' :
$el->setAttribute('type', 'text');
james dot j dot hackett at gmail dot com ¶

In Response to 'kassah at gmail'
You don't need to convert a DOMNodeList to an array in order iterate through it using 'foreach'. You can use foreach directly with the DOMNodeList.
$nodeList = $someDomDocument->getElementsbytagname('user');
foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
echo $node->nodeValue;

LEGO builder Alice Finch spent a year building a replica of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series out of 400,000 LEGO pieces.
It would've been impressive enough had she just built the exterior of the building, but Finch also painstakingly created each room of Hogwarts Castle in great detail.
The entire school grounds took 12 months to build, more than 40 boxes and pallets to get it to the convention center, and four people to set it up over three hours.
