Happy Tuesday WFNY!
I often like to start my WWWs with a cold open. Perhaps it's because I like a lot of TV shows that have used them really well over the years, or else I just enjoy a good anecdote. Whatever the case, I enjoy them, but I was struggling to think of one for this week.
So I figured I'd start this week with a question for you readers, as I am by nature curious about the things that other people are curious about. So the question is this: If you could travel back in time to one specific year/period, when would you travel to?
There are so many amazing stories throughout Europe's rich history that would be fascinating to visit. Or maybe it would really be amazing to journey back to Judea in the ancient Roman Empire and find out first hand what that Jesus of Nazareth guy was all about. I think an obvious time to travel back to would be the birth of the American Revolution and watch the uprising unfold first hand.
But my answer would be something different. I think I would like to be there when the Pilgrims first came to America. Granted, I know how especially brutal that first winter was for the new settlers, so maybe I don't need to be there when they first land. But I would love to see what this land looked like when it was untouched by European explorers. While, yes, there were some areas of swamps and rough wilderness, the pilgrims actually experienced a rather peaceful looking countryside with many parts not all that unlike what they knew back home in England. I just think it would be awesome to see what America was really all about before it was America.
Are anonymous sources bad for sports?
Over the weekend, Sam Amico delivered a pretty fascinating piece on his disgust for rumor-mongering in the NBA, and he placed much of the blame on a combination of anonymous sources and NBA players and personnel not talking to the press.
You can count me as one of those who have grown exhausted with all the rumors that have persisted in this offseason. I've always been someone who has loved following NBA rumors and trying to decipher which ones are grounded in truth and which ones are complete nonsense. But with the pervasiveness of media today, the rumors are inescapable and suffocating.
So how much are unnamed sources to blame? And if they're a problem, how do we go about fixing them? Well, there isn't an easy answer. As Amico wrote:
Back to those ever-present unnamed sources. It's a problem with today's NBA coverage — and yes, guilty as charged. But the NBA can work on changing that. I don't know how. I'm not running the league. I'm just some dude who writes and occasionally goes on TV.
I think a big reason why I enjoyed Sam's piece so much is that he was upfront and honest that he himself has relied on and used unnamed sources in his reporting. One of the things I like the most about Sam is that he's unafraid to admit what he doesn't know. Just because someone doesn't have the answers, it doesn't mean a problem doesn't exist.
Twitter is littered with some of the worst offenders of spreading false rumors. It often exists to serve the role of the proverbial wall upon which rumors are thrust to see what sticks. Fake Twitter accounts pop up all the time proclaiming themselves insiders. If they rumor they spread comes true, they stake their claim in the glory. If the rumor turns out to be false? No problem, they can just create a new Twitter account and start all over and try to guess right the next time.
I don't know how to feel about it all. On one hand, these are real people's lives that are being discussed and thrown into chaos because someone decided to start spreading a rumor. On the other hand, as Amico points out, a little more transparency would go a long way toward squashing some of the more baseless rumors.
From rumors of Kyrie Irving's discontent in Cleveland, to rumors of Dion Waiters punching Kyrie in a players' only meeting, to talk of LeBron's return, and all the various rumors of multiple Cavaliers being sent to Minnesota for Kevin Love in a trade, this past calendar year has been a cesspool of rumors in Cleveland. This is yet another reason why, at this point, I am more eager than ever for this offseason to be over and for the season to start. I just want to talk about basketball again and get away from the soap opera side of sports.
23 it is
At least one mystery has been settled. Over the weekend LeBron James took to Instagram to announce that he will indeed go back to wearing number 23 on his jersey again in Cleveland. On the list of things I care about, the number that adorns LeBron's jersey ranks awfully darn low. As long as it says "Cleveland", "Cavaliers", and/or "Cavs" on it, I really couldn't care less what number he wears.
But I still surprised to see some light backlash to this decision. Some of it was national, but a fair amount of it came from Cavs fans. Yes, when LeBron initially announced he was changing numbers from 23 to 6, he cited his belief that nobody should be allowed to ever wear the number 23 in the NBA again. So sure, he went back on what he said at that time. Who cares?
I once proclaimed that I would never own an Apple computer. And yet here I sit writing this on my Macbook Pro, which I consider my favorite computer I have ever owned. When I first heard Radiohead's album "Kid A" back in 2000, I initially hated it with a passion. I found it offensive and an affront to what that band was capable of. Today, it will make any list of my Top 5 Favorite Albums of All Time. I once said that I was done with TV forever, with the exception of sports and news. I vowed I would never watch another sitcom or drama, and even called them poison of the mind. Today, I am complete TV drama junkie. I went back on my word and dove head first back into watching TV.
I have a feeling I'm not the only one to say I thought one thing or was going to do one thing, only to later go back on that proclamation. It seems like such a bizarre thing to criticize LeBron for, even if the criticism was pretty mild. Players who wore the number 23 last season include Allen Crabbe, Anthony Davis, Austin Daye, Draymond Green, Kevin Martin, Toure' Murry, and Marcus Thornton. So it's not like LeBron's initiative was working anyway.
Or maybe there's a more sinister explanation. Perhaps LeBron's real reason for switching was due to Miami having retired the number 23 and LeBron already knew he was going to Miami when he announced the number change. I mean, that's probably not the case, but who knows. I just know that any angst over what number he wears is awfully ridiculous.
A quick word about baseball's big Hall of Fame weekend
I admittedly don't discuss baseball much on my Tuesdays, but this was a pretty incredible weekend for baseball's Hall of Fame. They inducted one of the best classes I can remember with Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas, Bobby Cox, Joe Torre, and Tony La Russa all going in. It was an all around excellent weekend for MLB and the Hall of Fame.
But there were some undertones that perhaps bothered me a bit. The Hall of Fame announced a change in the ballot. Now, players can only be on the ballot for ten years, as opposed to the current fifteen year limit. This was a move obviously designed to make it harder for any of the steroid era players to get in. As some of the more hard line voters get older, there was some thought that the younger generation of voters might start voting some guys in. The Hall was having none of it.
I've always felt that players like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire deserve to be in. I know what they did, but these were still two of the best players I have ever seen in my life. Barry Bonds doesn't deserve to be the Home Run King. There's no question steroids helped him reach that level. But I do not think steroids made him a Hall of Fame player. I think he got there on his own. I personally would rather just see these guys get in. It's not like we're ever going to forget the steroid era and what all went on. As long as Bonds holds the records, which he probably will for a very, very, very long time, nobody will ever forget.
But we also don't know who all was using. How many pitchers were also using? We just don't know.
Another thing that wasn't lost on me was Tony La Russa owing a decent amount of his success to guys like McGwire and Jose Canseco. I find it hard to believe that La Russa was completely in the dark about what was all going on. This isn't meant as a criticism or to say he doesn't deserve to go in. Just that it feels a bit "off" to me that he was able to reap a lot of the benefits of players using steroids without the accountability.
Finally, a word about Maddux. I remember the tail end of Nolan Ryan's career. I vividly remember the freaks of nature that Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens were. But for my money, the best pitcher I have ever seen was Greg Maddux. He didn't rely on other-worldly velocity to get guys out. Instead, he was an artist on the mound, painting the corners and pinpointing the ball exactly where he wanted it. The guy was completely untouchable on most nights.
Having said all that, I am a little surprised more isn't made of the fact he supposedly used to pee on rookies in the showers. That sounds made up, I know. But it's a story that's been around for a while. Then a couple weeks ago, David Fleming wrote a brilliant piece talking about the culture of showers in sports, particularly in relation to Michael Sam being the NFL's first openly gay player. In Fleming's piece, he mentions Maddux's ritual of casually walking up to rookies in the shower and peeing down their leg. I guess that's supposed to be a form of team bonding, or something. Or maybe it was just another way for Maddux to exert his dominance, I really don't know.
The only reason I bring this up is because Fleming's piece reminded me of it, and it's put into a different context when you consider the Jonathan Martin situation last year. He walked away from his team over incessant verbal harassment and financial burden, yet Maddux peeing on teammates is told as a light hearted and "funny" anecdote.
The point is, sports are weird. It's not always easy to distinguish where the lines exist. What makes some athletes the good guys and others the troublemakers? In society, peeing on people is frowned on while using illegal substances is often bragged about. In sports, the opposite is sometimes true. I'm no moral authority and I'm not here to tell anyone what is right or wrong. I can only speak for myself and say that while this was an amazing weekend for the Hall of Fame, it also somewhat illustrated to me how strange the culture of sports can be at times.

She has done all kinds of work, including some work for WFNY, but I've always enjoyed her Zorphbert & Fred comic series. Dawn recently came up with this great LeBron comic centered around the idea that "there's no place like home".

An attempt to find an album of the week
Finally, July is almost over. I know I've mentioned this in previous WWWs this month, but July is historically an awful month for new music releases. The music industry seems to take their vacations in July and only a small handful of good releases trickle through. But this July has been especially brutal. There are a couple albums I'm looking forward to in August, but for now, we still have one final new music Tuesday in July to get through.
This week is no exception to previous weeks. Not a whole lot out there to pick from. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have a new album out today, and former Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis releases her first solo album since 2008's "Acid Tongue" today. Her new album, "The Voyager" is a nice indie pop album and I do highly recommend it. In fact, I had planned on this being my pick for new album of the week. But I'm going to go in a slightly different direction.
I'm sticking with the indie pop theme, but for my new album of the week, I'm going with Hooray for Earth's new album, "Racy". Hooray for Earth are, of course, a Brooklyn based band which utilizes large quantities of synth pop and tries to reformulate them into indie rock context. You'll hear comparisons to the likes of MGMT and Yeasayer tossed around, but I don't find either comparison to be all that appropriate. At their core, Hooray for Earth write more tightly constructed songs and everything is wrapped around the hook of the song. And yeah, this band is super catchy when they want to be.
That's it from me this week. We are just ten days away from the Browns' first preseason game of the year. It's so close I can feel it. Football season is right around the corner! Have a great week everyone!

Friday, November 21, 2008
Just got back from a quick trip to TO for a good friend's wedding. Had a blast and caught up with a lot of friends I haven't seen in a while. Funny thing, going back to Toronto...I don't really get homesick, however, riding on the GO train from Oakville into Union station really made me nostalgic for Canada. Public transportation and trees are the two things I miss the most living in LA. Of course in Ontario you don't get to watch the city burn in an apocalyptic haze, raining ash down upon the narrow threads of civilization barely holding back the rolling mass of anarchy that seems to be constantly flexing under the sweaty California sun. Drama...oh drama.
Anyhow, I went subway sketching with Mr. Bobby Chiu and his renown band of merry doodlers. I'm pretty rusty, but had fun. Talented bunch roaming the Sunday underground there in old Hogtown. Gotta love the sound of the subway...beeebopboooo.....
Cheers all!

PHOENIX, Arizona, March 26. WITH less than a month until the April 21 world premiere of the E! Channel reality show "What Would Ryan Lochte Do," a lengthy promo trailer has been released that gives us a better understanding of the show's focus as cameras record the Olympic champion's exploits in and out of the pool.
Since last fall, E! producers have been following Lochte around the country as he reveled in the post-Olympic glow at clubs in Las Vegas, New York and Florida, and starts to returned his focus to the pool in preparation for the short course world championships. Cameras most recently followed Lochte on deck at the Arena Grand Prix in Orlando, Fla., as part of the series of episodes that will air this spring.
In this extended four-and-a-half-minute trailer, we see Lochte trying several pick-up lines on women, nearly crashing a golf cart and talking about the Lochte brand. There's also a little reveal into his softer side, as he breaks down while talking about his family's support over the years.
Feel free to voice your thoughts on the new trailer and your expectations for the reality show in our Reaction Time comment section below.

Bond prices rise as traders shrug off high sovereign borrowings
Dec 02 2012
The price of the 10-year benchmark bond, the 8.15 per cent coupon falling due in June 2022, rose sharply to Rs 99.87 (face value Rs 100) translating to a yield of 8.17 per cent. The previous week, the security was priced at Rs 99.50 or 8.23 per cent.
Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities' fixed income research strategist Vivek Rajpal said, "Demand for bonds especially from the banking system and Reserve bank of India, in the form of open market operations, will outweigh the supply."
In fact, the RBI has already announced an open market operation, the coincided with the weak gross domestic product numbers for the second quarter of this year. Traders expect that the RBI would be conducting these operations on a regular basis through the first week of December, as the advanced tax payment season begins. It is traditionally during this period that cash tightens in the banking system.
But cash in the banking system during the last two weeks has remained tight with overnight borrowings from the RBI's repurchase window (overnight cash support window against collateral of government securities) in excess of Rs 1 lakh crore. Part of the tightening is due to cash withdrawals from banking system for the festival season that extends up to the end of June. The withdrawals have resulted in cash withdrawals of over Rs 44,000 crore this month alone.
Cash tightening was also due to maturing foreign exchange contracts as result of forward sales of dollars that occurred during June this year. Forward sales of dollars remove cash from the banking system. Outstanding forward market contracts in June this year was estimated at $ 14 billion. One of re-infusing the cash was through open market operations. Open market operation is essentially outright purchase of securities by the RBI. The first of these auctions will result in infusion of Rs 12000 crore that was still far short what is presently required.
Along with the open market operations, what also offered comfort to the markets were the low depressed credit market conditions. At the weekend government borrowing auctions for Rs 13,000 crore, bids were a healthy 2.25 times more than the offered amount. The high interest in soveriegn bonds was despite the possibility of an increase in government borrowings this year, by at least Rs 50,000 crore.
The high borrowings though are expected to further tighten cash conditions in the market and traders saw possibilities for further monetary easing. BNP Paribas Asia chief economist Richard Iley commented, "Given the tight liquidity cash reserve ratio cuts in December policy review looks likely."
But the tightening cash conditions were also partly driven by the foreign exchange markets, where energy, fertiliser feedstock, coal and pulses have big impacts. Barring oil, all other commodity importers draw their foreign currency directly from the markets. Oil payments are however supported by the RBI, though the companies would still have to draw down on their working capital limits.
Resumption of non-resident inflows and enhanced FII investment limits in debt though reversed the rupee's fortunes with inflows overwhelming demand. The rupee's pullback reflected in the non-deliverable forward market (offshore trading in rupees with settlement in dollars) where the dollar was priced at Rs 54.57. But traders said, event risks Europe during the week could still reverse rupee's ascent.

GULF SHORES, Alabama — MTV News' Sway Calloway said it from the stage, but after watching Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hip-hop icons Public Enemy tear it down on Saturday afternoon on day two of the Hangout Festival, there was no doubt: PE are a national treasure.
In an early-afternoon set in the Boom Boom Tent that had the audience shouting along to a set of iconic hits, Chuck D, Flavor Flav and the rest of the crew hardly took a breather while serving up titanic anthems including opener "Can't Truss It," which left no doubt where the bass was gonna hit the fans packed into the tent.
With Chuck already running the show, Flav ran out in an all-orange Air Jordan T-shirt and shorts set, complete with matching high-tops, and the longtime foils punched the air along to the incredible thump of "911 is a Joke."
What's amazing about PE in 2013 is that lyrical hydrogen bombs like "Welcome to the Terrordome" haven't lost an inch of their punch, even on an audience that looked like most hadn't been born when the songs first hit.
Just saw @publicenemyftp at #hangoutfest–best show ever. All other performers: you're on notice!
— Abby (@abbygateau) May 18, 2013
Swinging his microphone like a baseball bat and tossing it in the air, Chuck smiled as, yes, the drummer got wicked, bashing out the song's thunderous beat while DJ Lord kept things moving with the Bomb Squad's signature chaotic backing tracks.
Flav took a turn on bass for "Bring the Noise," which got the crowd hopping up and down and waving their hands, and then a cappella beatboxed his way into "Don't Believe the Hype."

— Christina Beale (@nogota) May 18, 2013
They may have been listening to Baby Einstein when most the songs were recorded, but the crowd shouted along to "Hype" as if it was a brand new track. DJ Lord gave them something else to relate to during his spotlight, mixing the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" with the drum break from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," spinning back the song's legendary intro over and over until the whole house was losing its mind.
Before 1987's "Timebomb," Chuck gave a shout out to MTV's own "Yo! MTV Raps" for its early support, one of several nods to the network during the show. As the time ticked down, the audience raised their power fist for "Fight the Power," alternating it with a peace sign and middle finger during a set-closing plea from Flav against racism and separatism.
"Peace!" he yelled, as embraced Sway and thanked his old friend for all the support over the years.
@flavorflav @mrchuckd #publicenemy #hangoutfest caught the set list and a towel!!!! YEAHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIII!!!!! twitter.com/JarettMinikus/…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration enters the year locked in a battle with Congress over whether to plow ahead with new economic sanctions against Iran or wait to see if last year's breakthrough nuclear agreement holds.
The new sanctions, widely endorsed by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, would blacklist several Iranian industrial sectors and threaten banks and companies around the world with being banned from the U.S. market if they help Iran export any more oil. The provisions would only take effect if Tehran violates the interim nuclear deal or lets it expire without a follow-up accord.
The House already approved similar legislation last July and would likely pass the new sanctions by an overwhelming margin. But the Obama administration has succeeded so far in holding off a Senate vote.

Tuesday, May 7
Virginia Foundation for the Humanities
145 Ednam Drive
Charlottesville, VA 22903
A complimentary lunch will be provided.
VFH Fellow Katherine McNamara will present her interactive digital archive of the late Alaskan writer Peter Kalifornsky's thoughts and manuscripts with a demonstration built on the iPad.
Kalifornsky, who brought his ancient oral language into writing, portrayed his people, the old Dena'ina, as innovators who enjoyed being the first to learn a new thing, then pass it on to their neighbors. During the 1980s, McNamara served as Kalifornsky's amanuensis, the one to whom he told the "back story" of his writings.
In her presentation, McNamara uses text, audio files, and visual materials on a touch-based digital platform to present Kalifornsky's stories. She illustrates how the iPad can be an instrument for scholars, small publishers, or tribal groups who wish to present texts and songs in recordings controlled by their own elders and scholars for language and cultural renewal.

Berlin guide
Published in the June 2006 issue. This article is viewable for non-subscribers.
We were five days in Berlin in August '05. On three of those days we were guided privately by Markus Mueller-Tenckhoff (Markgrafenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Germany; phone 0049 [0] 160 80 88 011, www.markusmuellertenckhoff.de or www.guidesinberlin.de/markus).
Markus went at a pace that seniors can handle and made sure that we saw all of the sights worth seeing. He was able to tell us a tremendous amount of history and show us East Berlin, North Berlin, Jewish sites, galleries, museums and restaurants. We would never have gotten the flavor of Berlin without him.
Markus charges €250 (near $303) per day without a vehicle. This includes a get-together in your hotel to plan your outings and lots of advice for evening dining and entertainment. Highly recommended.

- Aminah Williams finished with 356 rebounds last season, the second-best all-time for a single season at UW. The record is 399 by Margie Nielsen in 1978.
Scouting Wisconsin
Wisconsin comes to Seattle with a record of 6-3 following Tuesday's loss against Gonzaga. Before that, the Badgers were coming off a big road win at Marquette and a home win over Boston College. Wisconsin has three players averaging in double figures, led by Taylor Wurtz at 15.4 points per game. The Badgers have been a good defensive team, allowing just 37.4 percent shooting from the floor and 23.7 percent from beyond the arc. Washington earned one of its biggest road wins last season in Madison, defeating Wisconsin, 60-55. Jazmine Davis had 22 points in that contest, Overall, the Dawgs are 3-1 against the Badgers, but had not played them in a decade prior to last year's meeting.
Scouting Montana State
Montana State is 4-2 on the season, coming off a win over Valparaiso. The Bobcats will face Seattle U. on Saturday as part of their back-to-back versus the Seattle schools. Montana State is led by Ashley Brumwell who is averaging 12.8 points per game. The Dawgs are 12-1 all-time against Montana State, but have not played the Bobcats since 2001. Washington is currently on a nine-game winning streak against Montana dating back to 1979.
3-Point Shooting
The Dawgs continue to shoot the 3 at a high rate this season, averaging 24.8 attempts per game. Washington is making 7.8 3-pointers per game, which is third in the Pac-12, but shooting just 31.5 percent from beyond the arc. Defensively, the Dawgs are allowing a Pac-12 worst 47.0 percent from beyond the arc and opponents are 7.8 per game.
On The Glass
After being the worst rebounding team in the conference last season, Washington has been better so far in 2013. The Dawgs have a rebounding margin of -0.8, which is 10th in the Pac-12. On the recent roadtrip to Texas, the Dawgs outrebounded Houston, 50-39, but were outrebounded by No. 23 Texas A&M, 47-42. Aminah Williams is having another tremendous season on the glass, averaging 10.0 rebounds per game. Talia Walton is adding 7.4 rebounds per game, while the additions of Katie Collier and Chantel Osahor to the roster give Washington much more frontcourt depth than they had last season.

The Episcopal / Anglican Diocese of Egypt mourned on Sunday (February 5) "all the sons of Egypt who lost their lives in deplorable incidents in the cities of Port Said, Suez and Cairo". [Author Not Mentioned, al-Jumhūrīyah, Feb. 6, p. 6] Read text in Arabic
The head of the church, Rev. Mūnīr Hannā Anīs, appealed to all Egyptians to observe calm and restraint, asserting that acts of violence do not bring about the aspired goals of revealing facts.
He also called on the Egyptian leaders, ministries and institutions concerned to speed up unraveling facts surrounding all incidents with accuracy and transparency to "bring to justice the persons responsible for this human disaster that Egypt has never witnessed before". [Author Not Mentioned, al-Jumhūrīyah, Feb. 6, p. 6] Read text in Arabic
An initiative was launched with participation of the Azhar, the ministry of awqāf (endowments) and the Coptic Orthodox Church in a bid to defuse the strife between revolting youths and the interior ministry after three days of clashes between the two sides as young people are trying to storm the ministry premises.
The clashes erupted right after 74 fans of al-Ahlī, Egypt's leading football squad, were killed and hundreds others wounded when fans of al-Misrī of Port Said's dashed the football pitch in a bloody frenzy. [Muhammad 'Abd al-Latīf, al-Ahrām, Feb. 6, p. 4] Read original text in Arabic
The Alexandria court of urgent matters decided to adjourn the case of the Church of the Two Saints to the March 18 session in order to allow the plaintiffs to photocopy the investigations file at the supreme state security prosecution on the January 1, 2011 bombing attack that left dozens killed or wounded. [Huwaydah Fathī, al-Akhbār, Feb. 6, p. 3] Read original text in Arabic
Meanwhile, the Giza Emergency Supreme State Security Court adjourned to the April 1 session the Imbābah incidents casein which 48 persons – 33 Muslims and 15 Christians – are facing charges of illegal assembly, premeditated murder, attempted murder, sparking and inciting sectarian fitnah and setting fire to the Virgin Mary Church with malice aforethought for lack of sufficient policemen to secure the courthouse.
The court was supposed to hear the statement by Major General Hamdī Badīn, Commander of the Military Police, who failed to show up for Sunday's session.
The Imbābah clashes, which erupted on May 7-8, 2011, had started upon words that Fakhrī, a Christian woman said to be married to a Muslim man, was purportedly detained inside a church in the impoverished district.

The 43-year-old driver went off the road and hit a tree, which then impaled her windshield and pinned her down.
"I don't know how it didn't hit her. She's very very lucky," said Kristi Fry, who witnessed the aftermath of the crash.
Fry heard the impact from her nearby home and ran over to help.
"Her seat belt strap was choking her," Fry said. "She was kind of in a position where it was just wrapped around her neck."
Fry said a man driving a propane truck was following the van when it went off the road. She watched him use a pocket knife to cut the seat belt from the woman's neck.
"Her head kind of slumped down and then she took this big breath and then she started breathing at a kind of normal pace," Fry said. "She looked like she was sleeping, but before that her face was turning purple. It was kind of scary to see at first."
Fry and other witnesses stayed with the woman until firefighters arrived and used the jaws of life to free her from the wreckage.
The sheriff's department is now trying to figure out what caused the van to leave the road. Neighbors say the woman was on her way to pick up her children.
Her current condition is not known.

Noticing how individual works play off each other can give a new slant to looking at an exhibition, allowing you to think like a curator. Contemporary Printmaking at Manifest Gallery offers such a rewarding opportunity.
The gallery's call for submissions brought in nearly 400 works by 160 artists for this juried show. Curator Jason Franz made the final cut to 22 works by 13 artists from seven states and the United Kingdom.
Toledo artist Craig Fisher's "Rights of Spring," in which the burgeoning life force is fierce, is grouped with Atlanta-based artist Dale Clifford's "Roving Bandit" and "Shame of the Son," linocut/woodcuts showing a bird you might not want on your windowsill. The composition of each of Clifford's works echoes the other; one is carried out almost wholly in shades of brown while the other consists of grays and a muted yellow. Like all good prints, the process strengthens the result. "Rights of Spring" uses delicacy to strong ends with aquatint over inkjet chine-colle, which allows the central section to take on its own background color. Clifford's two woodcuts emanate strength — no nonsense there. And there's no nonsense in any of these three works about nature being gentle.
Meanwhile, on the gallery's facing wall are some thoughts on being human. Rick Finn of Cincinnati contemplates a man (himself?) in what might be profile/full-face mug shots, except that in one he is bald and in the other has enough hair for an Elvis pompadour.
"No Chance for a Sweet, Sweet Life" is the title for this pair. It's a reduction woodcut against an orangeish background. The bald fellow turns up again in Finn's "18,322 Days Ago." The enigmatic title is yours to puzzle out. My calculator tells me that number of days equals something over 50 years.
Grouped with Finn's works are Massachusetts resident Randy Garber's "The Wonder of It All" and Spokane, Wash., artist Mary Farrell's "Tarragon." The former shows a humanoid sort of figure with shadowy suggestions of brain and perhaps a spinal column in the background. An overlay of random shapes becomes a tumble of letters. All this is executed in the elegance of etching. The Farrell work, dry point, is a profile of an old man's head, the spiky tendrils above repeated in his spiky hair.
Farrell keeps returning to the intricacies of natural growth. In her other two works here, "Limbs Akimbo" and "Split Open," she imposes artistic order on terrible tangles. The precision of etching and dry point help her achieve her ends, but she also incorporates woodcut, linocut and mezzotint when she needs them.
The multitude of means for printmaking allow for effects not possible from any other discipline. Manifest's stated aim with this show is "to explore the range of methods and results currently being achieved within the bounds of such processes." Traditional methods are being explored and sometimes pushed to new limits, with a deceptive air of ease. These are not easy processes. Skill in execution can make them look so.
Wild Kingdom, a one-man show of Jason Urban's work, fills Manifest's second room. He teaches drawing and printmaking at the University of Texas. These pieces push boundaries in a manner not seen in Contemporary Prints. In "Rattlesnake Rec Room" wood panels shaped like six-sided tiles are imprinted with his recurrent motif, a snake. The panels spill down the wall and off onto the floor in an almost snake-like way. Urban switches from etching to silkscreen at will and sometimes touches up his etchings with gouache.
The two exhibitions play off each other in an illuminating manner. Individual works in Contemporary Printmaking frequently do the same.
CONTEMPORARY PRINTMAKING is on view through Jan. 9 at Manifest Gallery (2727 Woodburn Ave. Walnut Hills)

To get a sense of the kinds of foreign films that Harvey Weinstein will never give up on -- as he was recently quoted as saying in Newsweek -- Variety reports The Weinstein Co's latest pickup is Luc Besson's live action/CG-animated pic "Arthur and the Minimoys," which follows "the story of 10-year-old Arthur, who ventures into a secret world of the Minimoys. There, he meets Princess Selenia and her brother Betameche and they set off to look for a treasure that will save Arthur's grandma. Freddie Highmore and Mia Farrow star, with Madonna, Snoop Dogg and David Bowie providing voice talent."

I have text similar to the following:
Some text here
Other text here
Text goes here
Other text goes here.
In the above text the MainSection 1 and 2 have different names which can be everything the user wants. Same goes for the subsections.
What i want to do with a regex is get the text of a mainsection including its subsection (if there is one).
Yes this is from a wikipage. All mainsections names start with
== and end with
All subsections have more then the
2== in there name.
regex =re.compile('==(.*)==([^=]*)', re.MULTILINE)
But the above returns each separate section. Meaning it perfectly returns a mainsection but sees a subsection on his own.
I hope someone can help me with this as its been bugging me for some time
edit: The result should be:
[('Mainsection1', 'Some text here\n===Subsection1.1===
Other text here\n'), ('Mainsection2', 'Text goes here\n===Subsecttion2.1===
Other text goes here.\n')]
Edit 2:
I have rewritten my code to not use a regex. I came to the conclusion that it's easy enough to just parse it myself. Which makes it a bit more readable for me.
So here is my code:
def createTokensFromText(text):
sections = []
cur_section = None
cur_lines = []
for line in text.split('\n'):
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('==') and not line.startswith('==='):
if cur_section:
sections.append( (cur_section, '\n'.join(cur_lines)) )
cur_lines = []
cur_section = line
if cur_section:
if cur_section:
sections.append( (cur_section, '\n'.join(cur_lines)) )
return sections
Thanks everyone for the help!
All the answers provided have helped me a lot!

Raymond Reeder's house on Kemp Lane has a sign that says, "Beware of bulldog."
A "no trespassing" sign is posted at the entrance of the driveway.
He considers himself a gear head and a mountain man.
A week ago, Reeder, 39, sawed in half a 1998 Saturn station wagon.
"Just to prove a point," he said. "This is what happens when you don't pay your bills."
Reeder said he and his girlfriend lent her childhood friend $2,000 to buy the Saturn, and for a down payment for an apartment.
"We never heard nothing," he said. "After we saw them, we tried to be nice and said, 'you still owe us $2,000; just pay us a $10-a-month thing.' She started with bad language."
That made him a little angry.
Last Friday, Reeder paid a repo man $50 to go get the car. "Before I left out the door, my (girlfriend) gave me the title. She said, 'Here you go, go have fun.'"
That afternoon, his buddies came over with four big monster trucks and smashed the Saturn. One truck had 42-inch Super Swampers, he said.
They flipped the Saturn on its roof.
A few passers-by stopped.
"We're just country boys having fun," Reeder told them.
They flipped the car back, cut the roof off, cut the doors off and then flipped it back over.
"My nephew had a ball cutting it in half," Reeder said. "We went through $40 in saw blades, but it's better than going to jail."
The car is still lying upside-down in his front yard, an American flag jammed into its exhaust pipe.

Scott Coffey has had a 30-year-long career as an actor, appearing in films such as "Mulholland Dr." and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," as well as in his directorial debut "Ellie Parker" in 2005. This year Coffey adds a second film to his directing filmography with "Adult World," starring Emma Roberts as an aspiring poet who takes up a job in a sex shop, and John Cusack, as a punk poet. The film, which was inspired by the satirical tone of Alexander Payne's "Citizen Ruth," comments on the replacement of the American Dream with youth's current struggle for fame.
What it's about: Amy Anderson graduates college convinced she's going to be a famous
American poet. Unemployed and desperate for work, she takes a job in an
adult book and video store. Meanwhile, she stalks her mentor, the famous
punk poet Rat Billings.
About the filmmaker: I was an actor in my twenties and finally made the move to writing and directing with my first feature "Ellie Parker." "Ellie Parker" starred Naomi Watts and premiered in the dramatic competition at the Sundance Film Festival. I've been directing commercials, music videos and writing scripts between "Ellie Parker" and "Adult World". I live in Brooklyn.
What else do you want audiences to know about your film? I wanted "Adult World" to be a gentle satire about a generation who no longer has the promise of the American Dream available to them, not in the way their parents did anyway. Maybe that was always a false promise but it's really faded now. Sometimes I think striving for fame and recognition have replaced whatever the American dream was. We've been over-praised by parents and teachers and constantly told we can do and be anything we want, even if it's a famous poet. It's like we're all just entitled to have whatever we want at the expense of the real world. It's an especially hard time for young people when jobs are scarce and aspiring to be an artist with integrity and originality seems harder that ever. But I also find Amy (our lead character) full of hope and that inspires me.
What was your biggest challenge in developing this project? The biggest challenge with "Adult World" was being mindful never to make fun of the lead character. The original script was a broader comedy than I was interesting in making. It was not very based in reality and a little silly. I wanted to make sure that all the moments and relationships in the movie were real and not just comedic for the sake of a laugh. I put a lot of myself into the lead characters and tried to make things as personal as I could when I was rewriting. Editing was our biggest challenge overall because we had a lot of footage. I kept things every fluid and almost workshop like on the set and just used the script as a kind of blue print so we had a lot of choices and the movie had an interesting aliveness. The actors contributions were really crucial. Shooting in Syracuse in the middle of winter wasn't easy but it was a fun challenge.
What would you like Tribeca audiences to come away with after seeing your film? I hope that audiences will appreciate the comedy and the performances most. I want people to root for Amy even thought she is hopelessly optimistic about her future, sometimes at the expense of reality. I hope that people will recognize themselves in the characters.
Did any specific films inspire you? There are a few films that I thought a lot about as I made "Adult World." "Wonder Boys" was one. I love the warmth of that movie even in the cold winter that it takes place in. The academic bubble that the lead characters live in was something that inspired me. Noah Baumbach's great movie "Margot at the Wedding" was a movie that always inspires me. Alexander Payne's "Citizen Ruth" was a movie that hugely inspired my approach to "Adult World" especially its tone and visual vibe. It's a near perfect satire.
What do you have in the works? I have an original script called "Jupiter" that takes place in Jupiter, Florida. that I hope to do next. It's a comedy about religion, sex, drugs, and relationships. It's very much about finding home in other people and how we learn to trust each other in this weird world.
Indiewire invited Tribeca Film Festival directors to tell us about their films, including what inspired them, the challenges they faced and what they're doing next. We'll be publishing their responses leading up to the 2013 festival.
Keep checking HERE every day up to the launch of the festival on April 17 for the latest profiles.

Amazing product and super easy to install. Took a total of 5 mins. Recommend this product very much
I love my digital mastered floor mats in my Subaru Impreza 2015. I needed this since I use my car haul plants in pots, dirt and mulch for my garden. I constantly get compliments about my mats and I bought the AVM mats for my 2003 Honda Accord...
I purchased and installed a set of Weathertech mudguards on my 2000 Ford F250 about a year and 1/2 ago. The installation was easy and the guards looked and worked great. I use the truck mostly for hauling my slide-in truck camper around. Last week, while driving on I-10 east of Houston, TX I experienced a tire blowout. I had been travelling at about 68mph when the tire blew, sending tire tread into all parts of the underside of my truck. Considerable damage was done to the metal box of the truck as well as to my camper tie downs. The brunt of the force seemed to be at the point of the attachment of the mudguard. After I had stopped the truck and safely gotten it off of the road, I went back to the scene to see if there any salvageable parts. To my astonishment, I found my mudflap and it was in near perfect condition! I will remount it after the box is repaired. Superior product!
The dealer wanted $240 plus installation for vent visors so I shopped around. I found weathertech and am highly pleased with the purchase I made here. They are heavy duty and durable and love the 3 year warranty.
Very pleased on how your Wind Deflectors fit my cool 2015 Fiat Abarth and how great they look on my car. Your service is very excellent, when my shipment arrived one of the wind deflectors were slightly damaged (it had scratches from shipment) I called and mentioned this slight problem and you took care of it right away and sent out another set of wind guards and they're wrapped for protection to prevent any scratches....I am very impressed with how you took care of this. I thank you very much, a very satisfied customer.

Three of the five Public Service Commissioners were absent today at a public discussion of how to clean up their beleaguered regulatory panel.
And one of the two who did bother to attend won't be on the panel much longer – Chairman Matthew Carter's term is up on Dec. 31 and Gov. Charlie Crist didn't reappoint him.
Carter scheduled the staff workshop for today – two days before Thanksgiving because the PSC has a busy schedule and it's a work week like any other, he said.
Commissioner Nathan Skop was also present at the talks on whether to tighten restrictions on communications between the regulators and their staff and the utilities they oversee.
Skop said the panel and lawmakers should take the recommendations of a 1992 statewide grand jury report dealing with the same issue that lawmakers and the PSC ignored.
The 17-year-old grand jury report provided solutions to problems regarding "ex parte communications," those dealing with cases currently or about to be under consideration,
"were written as they were written for this very situation that we find ourselves in today," Skop said.
Carter offered a simple solution originally proposed by former Commissioner Katrina McMurrian, who quit her post on Oct. 5 after Crist effectively fired her by pass her over for reappointment.
Put everything in writing and put it in the record, Carter said.
"We don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But by the same token in the process of yelling and screaming we need to step back and say what do we really need to do here," Carter said. "Do we burn the house down to get the kid to clean up his room or do we just ask the kid to clean up his room?

Slept in
Thursday, December 13, 2012
I missed this morning's workout. I was so tired, I slept until it was breakfast time. I don't skip breakfast because when I do, I gain weight. Instead, I'm eating really healthy today. I may need to workout every other day for a while until I get my strength back.
I started the day with almonds, yogurt, and a piece of cheese. I need to pick up some veggies and fruit (not for me.) at the store. I am making a pie for my Mom's work, they are having a holiday party, and I like to do the cooking, it takes some of the stress off my Mom. My internet is still down at my house, my brother will be home tomorrow to fix it. He is our IT man.
Last night I was thinking about my situation. I am living at home. But, even if I were gainfully employed, I don't think I would move away (unless something awful happened.) I would just build another building on the property for me. We have 6 acres. My Mom and Dad are in favor of that. I want to improve my earning power so that I can add more space for me to craft in. I love to craft. It would probably take about 200,000 dollars. I'm about 199,000 short. The house we have is fine, its just too small for 4 adults and 3 home businesses. I also have hobbies that take up space like my 7 foot concert grand piano. I'm not giving that up. My mother has a wonderful collection of Asian antique furniture.
I need to work on understanding business. I need to learn negotiation tactics, I need to join Toast Masters, I need to work on my MS Office skills. I need to learn about the structure of a small business in CA. I do have a license, I have a book keeper, and I have access to people with a lot more experience than I have. What I don't really know is how to structure insurance, an LLC, and how to sequester the business from my personal finances for legal purposes. I haven't been able to move forward with becoming an attr. because I can't afford to go to school right now. Until I have generated some sort of income, that is not an option for me. The job market has gotten worse locally. All the jobs that I might have gotten 5 years ago are being filled with people who are much more qualified than I. I keep thinking that I need to start selling something (I do know there are legal ramifications to that.) but I also know that in this economy, unless you are selling something absolutely critical, that making any kind of sale is unlikely. I worry about investing in another business to not only have it fail, but also to have been out the startup costs.
I don't have experience as a barrista. They won't hire you at Starbucks locally without it. I don't have years of experience in office support. I have some experience. I have some references. But, I've been working in the 'family business' which is considered to be not working at all or worse a lie. Its not a lie, I have thousands of hours of video footage to prove it. I can't get a job in retail, so many retail businesses have gone out of business, that you have highly skilled, referenced, and experienced people 200 people deep applying for every job that comes open.
The thing that I do have going for me, is that my parents have been very supportive. They have been supportive to the point where I feel like a terrible person for taking anything from them at all. They tell me to stop feeling like that, but how do you stop? Where do you go with 'I live with my parents. I can't get a job. I'm nearly 35 years old. I have no current marketable job skills. I'm just a drain on the family.' Sure, I do the house work, cooking, cleaning, scoop the cat poo, water the garden (when needed), drive people to the doctors, laundry, grocery shopping, assist with ADA inspections, and offer moral support when ever I can. That is true. However, I am also sick sometimes. I have to keep my health insurance because even at 700 dollars a month, if I get seriously ill, that would be a lot less than what it took to take care of my cousins through their cancers. I can't run that risk. I've had serious burns (most of my body), insulin resistance (work on it every day), interstitial cystitis (I cured that one myself.) and I deal with endometriosis. Now I'm dealing with a recurrent bacterial infection on my ears (they say it was caused by a bug bite.)
All the crafters that I know are going in the hole. The jewelers I know are in debt. The bakers, food service people are always worked to a frazzle. Painters are always starving in a garret somewhere. My mother suggested 'customer service'. I'm giving it serious thought. There is a customer service certificate at the local junior college, I might give that a try, as I don't have a lot of customer service experience.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I have only myself to blame. I tried a long shot and I lost. Hollyweird didn't work out. The industry has imploded. I yearn for the 'old system' days, before the monopolies were broken up, when studios made and distributed movies. Now, the studios just market and own theaters. Thats where the money is.

My son is 32 living with me and he has a degree in computer programming and game design. He is doing some free lance but not doing so good with it. I have a degree in Social studies comprehensive and law and ended up working in telecommunications where I went from Operator, customer service rep, business rep, competitive intelligence, teacher, team leader. I was also a job steward for 14 years and later management. I ran my husband's business and later my own and I owned rental property. Once retired I went back to work as an executive director for the local chamber of commerce. Now I am telling you this because I went for a job interview for a sales person for Christmas at Sears and did not get the job. Was I qualified, oh yes. I used to sell via catalogue dept for Sears years ago. But the interview was like I applying for CEO and the job was paying $8.45 hr or commission only. Ridiculous!
So my point is, it is tough out there for my son and me as well. If you want to go into business yourself there are usually programs through the unempoyment office which are free to teach you skills you need or look up the your local chamber of commerce to see if they offer free or low cost courses for start-ups. You can succeed.

Times are hard and I hope that you do find a job. I know that it is tough and I have a son that is 27 and still home but he is going to school to get a better job but he is taking out loans and grants to go to school. He realized that he needed to go back to schooll to get a job and it is hard just to find any job except working in a fast food place. That has a lot of turn around in those places.

Subject: [OMPI users] Question about MPI_Barrier
From: Storm Zhang (stormzhg_at_[hidden])
Date: 2010-10-20 17:51:44
Dear all,
I got confused with my recent C++ MPI program's behavior. I have an MPI
program in which I use clock() to measure the time spent between to
MPI_Barrier, just like this:
if if(rank == master) t1 = clock();
"code A";
if if(rank == master) t2 = clock();
"code B";
I need to measure t2-t1 to see the time spent on the code A between these
two MPI_Barriers. I notice that if I comment code B, the time seems much
less the original time (almost half). How does it happen? What is a possible
reason for it? I have no idea.
Thanks for your help.

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2014 Ratings: More Viewers for Finale or After the Final Rose?
Chris Harrison and his team of indentured servants did their best to get us hyped for Juan Pablo Galavis's Bachelor 2014 finale on Monday, March 10. He tweeted, he pleaded, and he blew the house down. At least by Season 18 standards. Whereas the rest of the season was high on drama but low on ratings, the final three hours more than made up for it.
We don't know what viewers' motivation was to tune in to the Season 18 finale and "After the Final Rose" special, but they came out in droves. The finale pulled in a 3.3 rating and 10 ratings share in the 18-49 demo, with 10.1 million viewers in the key demo, according to TVbytheNumbers. That number was surprisingly close to Sean Lowe's 2013 finale, which pulled a 3.5 rating and identical ratings share, and only a few more folks tuned in — 10.42 vs. 10.1.
The "After the Final Rose" special was the real draw, though, possibly because people wanted to find out if Juan Pablo and Nikki Ferrell were still together. They are, surprisingly, and have since retreated from public view with their not-love-exactly relationship. So, just how many folks were keen to see their bond and make sure Clare Crawley was okay? Nearly 11 million! The 10.97 million folks who tuned in earned the show a 3.8 rating with an 11 share, topping Sean's 3.8/10 and 10.8 million viewership by a hair.
Compared to the previous week's season low ratings for the "Women Tell All" special, this must've seemed like Christmas to producers — you know, like if Christmas is filled with petulant children who "slap the hand that feeds them." The lucky (is that the right word?) Bachelor fangirls who tuned in on March 10 also got to see the beautiful Andi Dorfman be confirmed as the Bachelorette for Season 10. (Get a head start on checking out the guys you'll tune in for.)
If you missed — or avoided — the Season 18 Finale or "After the Final Rose," we've got your recaps up.
Are you surprised that the finale and "After the Final Rose" specials got such big audiences? Let us know why or why not below!Source: TVbytheNumbers; TVbytheNumbers

Amber Riley
Amber Riley's Concert: Dianna Agron Comes to Support (VIDEO)
In case starring on Glee and winning Dancing With the Stars weren't enough to convince you of exactly how cool Amber Riley (Mercedes) is, let us give you another reason to love her: she threw a concert at the Roxy in LA last night for her fans — with crazy cheap tickets! — that was completely sold out.
When Amber first announced the concert earlier this month, she promised a special guest, and we were sure it would be one of the Glee cast members. Instead, it was someone even more important to Amber: her mom!
Mama Riley took the stage with Amber to perform together, and Amber couldn't have been more thrilled to have her there. "My very special guest @mzpeechezz!" Amber tweeted Monday night after the show. "My beautiful amazing mom. Thank you for gracing us with your beautiful voice."
And although Amber's special guest wasn't one of her Glee castmates, one of them was still in the audience showing her support: Dianna Agron (Quinn)!
"Your voice has no limits. You owned that stage tonight," Dianna tweeted. "I love you so much. That. Was. Special."
"I love you too!" Amber replied. "Thank you so much for coming."
Aww, so sweet! We want to be BFF with these two so much.
And since the reason Amber performed was to thank her fans for helping her win DWTS, she made sure to throw a tweet out there about how much she appreciates them, too. "Tonight was absolutely amazing!" she said. "Thank you guys for coming, I can't believe it was sold out! You made a dream a reality :) THANK YOU!!!!"
We're super happy for Amber — she totally deserves her success!
Couldn't make it to the concert? Watch the video of Amber singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" below, and then head to the comments to gush with us over how perfect she is.

A resurgent economy and war for talent has increased attrition beyond the normal level across sectors. While instances of mass exodus are yet to take place, HR experts say its high time that bosses take note to prevent such a crisis. Writankar Mukherjee spoke to a cross-section of seasoned HR professionals on how bosses can take guard and boost employee morale.
Make the office a learning ground
Research has shown people don't change jobs just for money. It is the job profile and the ability to learn within a organisation which often becomes a deciding factor . More so, in case of today's generation of professionals who want to learn and move up the ladder fast. "When bosses and organisations continuously help an employee develop their capabilities, they will not quit as they have a sense of enrichment. Bosses should give correct feedback to employees on their performance, help them learn on the job and build their capabilities," says AkzoNobel India's HR director Sangeeta Pandey.

I love sandwiches. They are quick to make and perfect for combining a ton of healthy goodies. I always look for fun ways to experiment with food and sandwiches are one of my go-to mixes.
Plus, every time I have leftovers, or no clue what to eat, it's always easy to combine ingredients to get a delicious, healthy and quick lunch or dinner.
This recipe is one of my favorites. It has a delicious creamy taste and it keeps me feeling full for a very long time. It only takes 5 minutes to whip together, so on those days when I'm running late (had more and more of those lately) it's a great recipe to have on hand.
So brown bag it for the office, make it for your kids, or have it for dinner when you really don't feel like making a difficult recipe. Hope you like it!
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- ¼ avocado
- 2 thin slices reduced-fat feta cheese (aprox. 30 g)
- 3 kalamata olives, pitted
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 Romain lettuce leaf
- ½ teaspoon oregano (optional)
- Toast the bread.
- Cut the avocado in thin wedges and evenly spread the pieces on both slices of bread.
- Add the feta, lettuce and tomato.
- Sprinkle the cut olives and oregano.
- Put the slices together and cut in half.
- Enjoy!

BeingGirl Points - Major Bragging Rights
Back to My Period Questions
Dear BeingGirl Experts,
Are you more likely to get attacked by a shark when you are on your period?
Dear Meredith,
It has been recommended that a menstruating woman should abstain from swimming in areas where sharks are nearby in order to minimize the risks of attracting sharks. This assumes, of course, her flow is somehow getting into the water, and with the options available to women today this may not be the case. But it is possible for sharks to sense these fluids and investigate further. Assume that sharks might do this, and let common sense should dictate the rule. So, swimming when you are menstruating is fine as long as you are using a tampon and not swimming in shark-infested waters!
Hope this clears this up for you!

UNDATED (CNN) -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is famous for her no-nonsense fashion style.
Now back home in New York, the former U.S. senator pitched an idea to some top fashionistas Monday, including top executives at cable TV's Bravo.

Macy's Soiree Kicks Off Fashion's Night Out
The second annual Fashion's Night Out, a shopping extravaganza involving 1,200 simultaneous retail parties, began on Friday as it did last year: with a soiree at Macy's.
There were some notable differences. Last year, the kickoff took place in Queens with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Michael Kors, Kate Hudson and an interesting performance by the cast of the musical "Hair." This year, the festivities began at the retailer's 34th Street location, where celebrity designer Tommy Hilfiger hosted a tailgate party in the middle of Herald Square with the Grammy-winning rock band Train.
Mr. Hilfiger, wearing dark-wash jeans, brown loafers and a neat navy blazer with a bandana pocket square sticking out, said it was important to come up with innovative ways to attract an increasingly distracted customer base. "The American consumer has many more choices than ever before, from the high end to the low end and everything in between," he said. "We have to work harder to build a better product."
By 5:00, the sidewalks in front of Macy's windows, decked out with Mr. Hilfiger's preppy 25th anniversary "greatest hits" collection, were already mobbed with people gawking at the tableau of 1970s Wagoneer station wagons assembled in front of a stage, where Train was scheduled to perform at 6:30.
"We are always involved with music and fashion," said Mr. Hilfiger. "We have a preppy all American look with a bit of a twist, and usually the twist has something to do with music."
Ms. Wintour made an appearance at Macy's too, of course, as did Sean Combs and Rachel Roy, in their respective departments. Also in attendance was Jennifer Lopez, who threw on her Louboutins–six-inch gold platform ones–to promote her new fragrance "Love & Glamour." Neil Patrick Harris, who was shooting the opening of the CBS documentary of Fashion's Night Out, was also spotted in the handbag department.
Outside, on a huge stage, Train's front man Pat Monahan shouted, "I wish I could do this every day!" The band belted out its hit, "Soul Sister." Some innocent bystanders attempting to squeeze their way through the hordes started dancing and humming along, a testament to the power of catchy pop music to diffuse potentially dangerous situations.
When the concert was over, Mr. Hilfiger and his preppy cast of models hopped into their three station wagons and made their way to his Fifth Avenue flagship store for more preppy celebrating, and hopefully, full priced selling.

|Selected FAQ
How can I setup my printer on a network?
The Stylus 1500 supports optional LocalTalk or Ethernet interface boards.
LocalTalk interface board, Type B, (C823121) allows a Macintosh family computer to use an Epson printer via an AppleTalk network. Once the I/F card and appropriate driver are installed, the printer becomes a standard LocalTalk device that does not require special command sequences to initiate print jobs. This also requires a LocalTalk cable.
Multi-Protocol Ethernet Interface Board (C823572) adds networking capabilities to EPSON printers and allows a printer to be used as a shared resource in a network. It eliminates the requirement for a dedicated PC print server or extended print server box. Compatible with all EPSON Type B printers. Supports Novell Netware, Apple EtherTalk, Microsoft Windows NT or UNIX TCP-IP network. Includes Board, BNCY connector, Guide/Drivers. Uses 10 BASE - 2/10 BASE-T cables.
Multiprotocol 10/100 Ethernet, Type B Print Server with AC Adapter (C823642) converts Epson printers equipped with Type-B slot to a network printer. Supports Windows NT, 98, 95, 3.x, Macintosh, UNIX and OS/2 users.Network protocols include single print server for 100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks and simultaneous data transmission of multiple protocol stacks TCP/IP, IPX, NDS and SNMP. Includes Epson status Monitor @ printer and job status monitoring utility.
Multiprotocol Series 2 Type B Ethernet Print Server (C823622) lets you connect your Epson printers directly to the network. Compatible with Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 and 98, Windows NT 3.51 or later, OS12, Macintosh 7.x & 8x. This server installs inside your printer, requiring no additional desk space. Novell tested and approved.
If you are strictly using Macs in your network then you can just get a LocalTalk interface card. Unfortunately, LocalTalk is a very slow way of transferring information. A LocalTalk connection runs at less than 250 kb per second, w step 1 and 2.
If the problem still persists try the following steps to run with the extension off:
1) Hold down on the shift key and click on Restart, make sure to hold down shift key until message state extension is off.
2) Reselect the printer in chooser and make sure Apple Talk is inactive.
