Whitehead's reading comes on the heels of the publication of his fourth novel, "Sag Harbor," a coming-of-age story about upper-middle-class African American teenagers hanging out in Sag Harbor, Long Island, during the summer of 1985. An excerpt from the novel was published in December in The New Yorker.
Whitehead was born in 1969 and raised in Manhattan. After graduating from Harvard College, he started working at The Village Voice, where he wrote reviews of television, books and music.
His first novel, "The Intuitionist" (1999), concerned intrigue in the Department of Elevator Inspectors, and was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway and a winner of the Quality Paperback Book Club's New Voices Award.
"John Henry Days" (2001) followed and was an investigation of the steel-driving man of American folklore. It was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Fiction Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. It received the Young Lions Fiction Award and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award.
In 2002, Whitehead received the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship ("Genius Grant"), awarded "to talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits."
A book of essays about New York City, "The Colossus of New York", published the following year, was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. "Apex Hides the Hurt" (2006), a novel about a "nomenclature consultant" who gets an assignment to name a town, was a recipient of the PEN/Oakland Award.
In addition to The New Yorker, Whitehead's reviews, essays, and fiction have appeared in The New York Times, Salon, New York Magazine, Harper's and Granta.
City Tech's literary festival will also feature readings by students and by poet and City Tech English Professor George Guida. The evening will include a performance by Brooklyn band Kaleta-Zozo Afrobeat.

NCAA May Revise Rules on Feeding Athletes
There is one topic on which Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari and Connecticut guard Shabazz Napier agree: The NCAA's rules on feeding players are nuts.
Schools are allowed to provide athletes with one specially prepared training-table meal per day, plus meals surrounding competition, travel and vacation during the season. But partial-scholarship athletes, walk-ons and players who live off campus are often on their own.
That could change Tuesday, when the NCAA Division I Legislative Council considers a proposal that would permit schools to feed athletes pretty much whenever and however they want. The legislation would take effect Aug. 1.
The current rules have made Calipari's players lose weight, he said. Napier -- star of the NCAA-champion Huskies -- said he sometimes goes to bed hungry.
At George Washington University, an urban campus with few cafeterias, athletes find that a school-issued meal card for use at area businesses is inadequate, athletic director Patrick Nero said.
"We hear from our students that it runs out mid-semester," Nero said. That leaves athletes to hit up parents for meal money or make do with NCAA-allowed snacks of fruit, bagels and, yes, nuts.
Nero said the NCAA declined the school's appeal to establish a cafeteria for athletes. Nationwide, scholarships often fall thousands of dollars short of the actual expense of attending college, NCAA leaders acknowledge.
Why can't schools give athletes three squares a day? Poorer athletic departments worry that doing so would burden them financially or lead to elaborate meals such as "pheasant under glass," said Dave Ellis, a registered dietitian who worked for years with teams at Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Nero said the goal is to provide athletes with proper nutrition, not to lure them with lavish spreads.
"No one's going to get a recruiting advantage over an egg-white omelet," he said.

Anyone can get kidney disease, but some things can make it more likely to happen to you. In fact, 1 in 3 adults in the United States are at risk for getting kidney disease.
Kidney disease is most often caused by diabetes or high blood pressure. Both of these health problems can cause permanent damage to your kidneys. When your kidneys have been permanently damaged and aren't working as well as they should, it's called chronic kidney disease (CKD), or kidney disease for short.
Diabetes and high blood pressure aren't the only things that can cause kidney disease. Other common risk factors for kidney disease include:
- Heart (cardiovascular) disease
- Having a family member who had kidney disease
- Being African-American, Asian, Native American or Hispanic
- Being over age 60 If you are at risk for kidney disease, ask your doctor how often you should be tested.
If you catch and treat kidney disease early, you may be able to prevent it from getting worse!
Over 29 million people in the United States have diabetes. Diabetes is the #1 cause of kidney failure. A special diet, exercise and medicines can help manage diabetes and prevent complications, but some people with diabetes may still develop kidney disease, even with good medical care. Learn more about diabetes.
High blood pressure (hypertension)
High blood pressure is the #2 cause of kidney failure. High blood pressure can be both a cause of kidney disease, and a symptom of it because healthy kidneys help regulate your blood pressure. Keeping your blood pressure under control can help prevent kidney disease, or help keep it from getting worse. Learn more about High blood pressure (hypertension).
Family history
Knowing your family health history provides you with important information about your risk for disease. If you know you are at risk for kidney disease, you can take steps to protect your health. To be at risk means it is more likely you will get kidney disease.
Being over age 60 increases your risk for kidney disease.
Over time, the kidneys lose some function naturally. People who are over 60 are also at more likely to have diabetes and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of kidney failure.
If you are over age 60, ask your doctor how often you should be tested for signs of kidney disease.
African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asian-Americans are more likely to have kidney disease. Doctors and researchers are not exactly sure why these groups are more at risk for kidney disease. It may be because these groups tend to have higher rates of diabetes and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of kidney failure. Access to health care and other factors may also contribute. Learn more about race and ethnicity's link to kidney disease.
Other causes
Although diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of kidney disease, other diseases and conditions can also lead to kidney disease and kidney failure. Some examples of other causes of kidney failure include:
- Polycystic kidney disease: a genetic disease that causes many cysts to grow in the kidneys.
- Glomerulonephritis: a disease causing irritation to the tiny filters (glomeruli) in your kidneys.
- Acute kidney injury: kidney failure that happens very quickly, often because of injuries, major blood loss or some reactions to medicines.
- Autoimmune diseases (such as lupus and IgA nephropathy): diseases in which your immune system attacks your own body.
- Kidney cancer: cancer that grows inside your kidneys.
Having one of these conditions does not always mean that you will have kidney failure. Talk to your doctor about how to prevent kidney failure as part of your care for your condition.

Can you sum up the weather in three words? The Met Office says it is considering targetting weather updates with regional slang to avoid misinterpretation.
When it comes to weather, Britain has always had a fascination with slang terms – particularly when describing torrential rain.
Whether it's raining cats and dogs, pelting it down or bucketing, the glossary is as inventive as it is diverse but the broad range of terminology can make it even harder to communicate the weather forecast, according to new research from the Met Office.
And it's not just the words that forecasters use to communicate the weather that are causing confusion, it turns out that weather symbols are confusing too.
A pilot survey from the Met Office recently highlighted the different perceptions and use of language to describe rain across the county.
The Met Office is now appealing to the public to help them identify the words they use to describe the weather in their area.
Although the term 'pouring' is the most widely used word to describe heavy rain nationally, some cities prefer terms such as lashing it down', 'bucketing' or 'chucking it down'.
Glaswegians are most likely to use the term 'pelting it' and Londoners prefer to say 'caning it'.
Derrick Ryall, Head of Public Weather Service at the Met Office, commented: "The range of slang for rain alone demonstrates the breadth and diversity of the English language and the varying terminology used across different parts of the UK.
"As the UK's National Weather Service, we're always looking to improve the way weather forecasts are communicated, to make them as useful as possible and increase their understanding. We're asking the public to help us better understand how they talk about the weather by describing it in just 3 words on Twitter, giving us their location and using the hashtag #3wordweather. You'll be able to see the #3wordweather words in real time on our interactive map at www.metoffice.gov.uk/3wordweather.
"Ultimately we hope to use the insights from our research to tap into local dialects and vocabulary to make it easier for people across the UK to understand the forecast and make informed decisions based on it."
Symbolic of the problem
In its survey, the Met Office found that language may not be the only barrier to interpretation, many Brits are also struggling to identify common weather symbols. Indeed, almost half of respondents (48%) were unsure which icon represented intermittent rain, with only one in 10 (14%) able to identify the symbol for sleet.
Although Brits are well-used to bad weather, 81% incorrectly thought a grey cloud symbol meant there would be a high potential for rain. Amazingly, only a fifth (22%) correctly identified all symbols for rainfall.
Unsurprisingly, Brits proved they are strangers to symbols for sunny weather, with 53% mistakenly thinking the sun symbol means it will be warm or hot outside, despite it not denoting temperature.
Although more of a grey area, two-thirds (65%) also misinterpreted the symbol for overcast weather [when almost all of the sky is cloud covered] as being generally cloudy, with a third (29%) mistakenly thinking that the symbol of a sun, cloud and snowflake indicates a chance of precipitation.
Derrick Ryall continued: "We have used a common set of symbols and vocabulary to describe the weather for over 40 years and it's important that they are still relevant. It's become apparent from recent studies that different regions interpret language and information uniquely. For example, in January we found that two-fifths of people living in London described 15 degrees Celsius as being cold, whereas three quarters of people in East Anglia, Wales and the South West identified it as being warm. This one example shows how polarised reactions to the same information can be, and why it's critical that we use symbols, descriptions and terminology that people understand."
Intent on determining the most accurate language to describe weather based on regional dialects, the Met Office is inviting the British public to have their say. And so, from today (February 1), it is inviting people to join the #3wordweather debate on Twitter, a chance for local communities to summarise their perceptions of local weather in three words and in doing so help the Met Office improve its daily communications.
"As the UK's weather authority nobody knows the weather better than us and we're continually looking at how we can improve our service. #3wordweather could be the first step to redefining how we talk about the weather in future," continued Ryall. "Who knows, in time, to avoid misinterpretation, this could mean providing targeted regional weather reports in local dialects."

In 1988, Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode appeared on the BBC pop interview series That Was Then…This Is Now.
Aired as part of Janet Street-Porter's "Yoof TV" on BBC 2, the series attempted to break away from the stranglehold of sixties pop, to focus on bands that had come to the fore during the 1970s and early 1980s. Guests included Mick Jones, John Lydon, Robert Smith (The Cure), Joe Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Spandau Ballet, Martin Fry (ABC) and even (surprisingly) Gary Glitter and Eddy Grant, who were exceedingly popular that year. Shot on 16mm, the series consisted of twenty-two 30-minute episodes, broadcast between 1988 and 1989.
This is Depeche Mode captured at the start of their world domination, just as they were becoming "The most popular electronic band the world has ever known." [Source]

Three raid frames enter. One raid frame leaves.
As a healer, my raid frames are the most important part of my user interface. If you had asked me 2 months ago what my raid frames of choice were I would have said Grid, hands down. This is both because it is an excellent addon that tells me everything I need to know but also because I'm stubborn and refused to try out any others. After patch 4.0.1 Grid hit me with some very annoying issues that caused the most important parts, the HoT timers, to stop working as I liked. This gave me a very good excuse to broaden my horizons and try out some new raid frames, namely the default Blizzard raid frames and VuhDo. Here's my evaluation of them. For the TLDR version, skip down to the summary.

I'm going to insert a big spoiler here and tell you that the default raid frames do not win this contest. However, they underwent a major overhaul recently and I thought they deserved a proper look.
Customization and Options
Customization of the default raid frames is extremely limited. You can change the size of the frames, though even the smallest settings are still very large, you can choose to display class colours or leave everyone green, you can also choose whether or not you want to see things such as incoming heals, aggro, power bars, and debuffs.
The default raid frames don't allow for nearly as much customization as I'd like. The biggest problem for me is the size. I like to keep my raid frames as small as possible so I get a good view of the action rather than have the raid frames take up too much space on my screen. The size of the smallest setting needs to be cut in half in order to make me happy. I also prefer vertical health bars, which is not an option.
I've set up the Blizzard raid frames to my liking, as much as the limited options allowed. Here they are:
The raid frames really aren't bad-looking. The things I like most are the incoming heals and the raid roles clearly indicated on everyone's frame. However, there are many things I don't like. As I mentioned already, the frames are too big. I also think the percentages are unnecessary.
Information Displayed – HoTs and Debuffs
Your own HoTs are shown in the bottom right corner of the raid frame, represented by the spell icon. There are no numerical countdowns to tell you how long the duration is but it does show time left though shading. Only three HoTs are shown at a time. There are no options to change the size or display of the icons. As you can see in the above example, with mana bars showing and the smallest setting, HoT icons cover the health percentage display.
Debuffs are shown in the bottom left corner. There is an option to show only dispellable debuffs.
Ease of Use
Lack of options make the default raid frames very easy to set up.
I've been a staunch Grid supporter for almost as long as I've been healing. It is highly customizable and can show you everything you need to know to heal effectively.
Customization and Options
Grid can be customized in many ways.
You can change the fonts, size of the notification icons, how many characters of each person's name displayed…
Size of the raid frames can be anything from teeny, tiny to very large. You can set it to expand/contract to a certain number of groups based on your circumstances.
Triggers (HoTs, debuffs, aggro, etc.) can be set to appear in the area of your choice. You have the option to show things in the four corners, on the four sides (requires an additional mod), in the center of the frame or as a border.
You can customize how the triggers display by changing the colour, priority or adding filters. You can add custom buffs and debuffs, or use a mod like GridStatusRaidDebuffs to add them all for you.
Grid has a nice, compact layout. Of course, it all depends on how you set it up, but Grid can really look any way you want it to. My favorite parts of Grid are:
1) debuffs shown as icons so I know exactly what people are affected by;
2) numerical countdowns to let me know how long my HoTs are ticking for.
Information Displayed
I have a separate countdown timer for each of my HoTs, displayed in different areas of the frame. This makes it very easy to tell, at a glance, which HoTs are up and how much longer they will tick for. The Lifebloom counter is colour-coded to tell me how many stacks are up.
Debuffs are shown as an icon in the middle of the frame. I do not use a generic trigger to tell me when I can dispel something (though you can), instead I learn to recognize all the icons.
Ease of Use
With many options comes much confusion. I've introduced a few people to Grid and they were quite overwhelmed by it at first. The menus are not very intuitive and it does take quite a bit of work in order to turn the out-of-the-box frames into something usable and informative.
For me, the biggest downside to Grid is the number of addons you need in order to get it working optimally. Search for Grid on Curse and you will get 3 pages of results. In addition to the main addon, I use extra modules in order to show: side indicators, text indicators, mana bars, HoT timers, raid debuffs. As you can imagine this makes staying up to date a bit of a pain. They are not all updated at the same time and occasionally (like after 4.0.1) this can cause problems.
No longer the new kid on the block, VuhDo has been around for a while. Those who use it swear by it, so I finally decided to test it out.
Customization and Options
VuhDo has almost every single option for customization that I could want.
Customize the scale, size and spacing of your raid frames.
Customize where you want your HoTs displayed on the frame (2 layout options with a total of 7 spaces for HoT icons), which HoT goes where, how big they are and how they look.
Decide where to display debuffs and how they look. You can set sound alerts or animations to draw extra attention to certain debuffs or set it up so the frames change colour to indicate what type of debuff is present (not pictured).
You can assign your spells to mouse keys, add keybinds and set smart casts.
I've set up Vuhdo so it looks almost identical to Grid. The frames are a little brighter, and there are many different textures to choose from for the frame backgrounds. HoTs are shown with both icons and countdown timers which I really like. The only aesthetic problem I have is that there is no option to make mana bars vertical (if I'm wrong about this, please let me know).
Information Displayed
All my HoTs are displayed in their own part of the frames. The icon for each HoT is displayed along with the countdown for how long it will tick for. This makes the frames very easy to read. Lifebloom has an extra counter to show the number of stacks.
Debuffs are shown in two ways. First, the icon is displayed in the top left corner along with a countdown timer. Second, name of the player changes colour to let me know what type of debuff they are affected by (blue for magic, purple for curse, green for poison).
There is also a nifty feature that shows which direction people are, relative to you, when they are out of range to make finding them easier.
Ease of Use
As with Grid, the huge number of options makes setup a little complicated. A nice thing about VuhDo is that the option screens are clear and full of large, well-labelled, colourful buttons and tabs. When setting it up I was able to figure out most things fairly quickly, but did have to resort to Tam's excellent guide a couple of times to figure out some of the options.
The best thing about VuhDo is that you get everything – frames, HoT timers, debuffs, mana bars, click-bindings – all in one addon.
Blizzard Raid Frames
- Easy to use
- Part of the standard UI – adds no extra memory usage to your game
- Each person's raid role is clearly displayed
- Lack of options
- Frames are too large
- Can only display up to 3 HoTs
- No numerical countdowns for HoTs
Verdict: The default raid frames have improved immensely, but they still aren't quite there for healers who want to track everything that's going on. Customization options are very limited. If there was an option to scale down the size of the frames further, I would use the default raid frames on dps characters, but as they are now these frames do not fulfill my healing needs.
- Extremely customizable
- Compact and attractive (once it's set up correctly)
- Extendable – there are many modules available to help you track any specialized spells or information
- Menus are not very intuitive
- Takes time to set up
- Need for separate modules makes staying up to date a bit of a pain
Verdict: Grid, combined with the click-healing mod Clique, has provided me with everything I need for in a raid frame for years. There are a ton of options which let you customize the appearance and information displayed to suit your needs. The biggest downside to Grid is that you need multiple addons installed in order to have a complete raid frame package. Most modules are maintained by different developers which means they are not all updated at once and can lead to problems.
- Extremely customizable
- Compact and attractive (when set up properly)
- Includes everything you need to see on your frames in one mod
- Includes built-in click binding assignments
- Menus are attractive and mostly straightforward
- Takes time to set up
- No option for vertical mana bars
Verdict: VuhDo has a ton of customization options and can be set up in almost any way you could think of. All HoT timers, debuffs and notification options are included in a single addon. With its built-in click and keybindings, it provides everything I need to stay informed and heal effectively.
In terms of aesthetics and ability to display the information I need Grid and VuhDo are neck-and-neck. Both show me everything I need to know in a compact and attractive package.
In terms of setup, both mods do take a bit of work. VuhDo has a slight advantage in this area as the option screens are cleaner and more intuitive.
The biggest difference between Grid and VuhDo is the number of mods needed to get it to work effectively. In order to set up Grid as I like I need 7 or 8 different mods, for VuhDo I just need one. Because of this, VuhDo is now my raid frame addon of choice.

To deliver the extra protection required in higher power or turbocharged engines, Shell Rimula R2 Extra contains up to 20% more active deposit control additives than more basic oils such as those meeting API CF-4. This performance is demonstrated through meeting the engine tests required by leading engine makers, Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Volvo.
Should you use Shell Rimula R2 Extra oil?
- Provides robust protection against deposit formation in many turbocharged engines from Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and others, where temperatures and power are higher than in non-turbocharged engines. Ideal for short and long distance haulage.

The lack of women in technology conversation is nothing new.
Over the last few months, the topic has been fuelled by events like "Donglegate" and its backlash.
It's since become common knowledge that women are underrepresented in tech jobs, but what about their representation in the tech world as a whole?
Here are statistics that shed some light on both:
In the U.S., women are actually more likely to use social networking sites. In December 2012, 71% of women compared to 62% of men surveyed were using social networking sites, according to Pew Internet.
Google, LinkedIn, and Reddit dominated by men
Here's the breakdown of the actual user base make-up, according to a 2012 report by marketing firm DigitalFlashNYC. Note: Women make up the majority of users on Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, and Pinterest.
Stat 1: LinkedIn: 63% men and 37% women
Stat 2: Google+: 71% men and 29% women
Stat 3: Reddit: 84% men and 16% women
Stat 4: Regarding Reddit, men are also twice as likely as women to be Reddit users, according to Pew
Wikipedia is dominated by men
In short, that means men mostly determine what and how information gets shared. Wikipedia has about 81,000 active editors per month who contribute the growing number of public available-made content, according to an April 2011 survey by the Wikimedia Foundation. But most of those editors are men.
Stat 5: 8.5% of Wikipedia editors are women. The total per cent of women editors has increased somewhat over the years, but Wikipedia recognises that its editing community suffers from a lack of women editors.
Underrepresentation in venture-backed tech companies
Women are vastly underrepresented in high-level roles at U.S. venture-backed tech companies, but having more female executives "makes a significant difference in pushing a company to success," according to a 2012 report from Dow Jones VentureSource.
Stat 6: 1.3% of venture-backed startups have a female founder.
Stat 7: 6.5% of venture-backed startups have a female CEO.
Stat 8: 20% of venture-backed startups have one or more female C-level executive.
Men dominate venture capital and angel investment industries
Stat 9: Women represent less than 10% of high-level venture capitalists in the U.S., according to the Kaufman foundation.
Stat 10: Only 12% of angel investors in the U.S. were women in 2011, according to the centre for Venture Research.
Lack of diversity at influential tech companies
Earlier this year, CNNMoney released a report from its investigation into the 20 most influential tech companies in the U.S. They were only able to receive government reports of diversity data from five of them.
Stat 11: Cisco: 44 out 225 officers or managers are women.
Stat 12: Dell: 27 out of 125 officers or managers are women.
Stat 13: eBay: 10 out of 55 officers or managers are women.
Stat 14: Ingram Micro: 47 out of 236 officers or managers are women.
Stat 15: Intel: 6 out of 41 officers or managers are women.
Vast underrepresentation in gaming industry
Even though 45% of all gamers are women, women are vastly underrepresented in the gaming industry.
Stat 16: Women make up about 11.5% of all game developers, according to the International Game Developers Association.
STEM and career placements
Women who obtain a degree in STEM (science technology engineering maths) are less likely than their male counterparts to work in a STEM occupation, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce Economics and Statistics Administration.
Stat 17: As of 2009, there were 7,430,000 workers in STEM jobs in America. Male workers held 5,640,000 of those jobs.
Stat 18: Women hold less than 25% of STEM jobs, according to the ESA. Among women in STEM jobs, 27% of them are in computer science and maths jobs and just 14% are in engineering jobs, according to the ESA.
Internet usage in developing world
In the developing world, women's Internet usage is much less compared to men's.
Stat 19: There about 600 million women online compared to 800 million men in developing countries, according to a 2012 report from Intel.
Stat 20: On average, nearly 25% fewer women than men have access to the Internet, according to Intel.
Stat 21: The gender gap jumps to nearly 45% in regions like sub-Saharan Africa.
Stat 22: About 35% fewer women than men in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa have Internet success.
Stat #23: Nearly 30% fewer women than men in parts of Europe and North Africa have Internet access.

Summit County police blotter: 'One drink' slide off in Keystone
At 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, Summit County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to U.S. Highway 6 at Mile Marker 221 near Keystone for a report of a vehicle slide off.
The report was initiated by a Colorado Department of Transportation employee, police reports stated. It was snowing heavily at the time and road conditions were poor because of the inclement weather.
The CDOT employee told police dispatchers the driver, a woman, was sitting in his snowplow and appeared to be agitated and under the influence at the time of the call. Despite the poor conditions, Summit County deputies had not been dispatched to any other vehicle accidents on U.S. Highway 6, according to records.
When deputies arrived on scene, the CDOT employee said he was traveling westbound on Highway 6 — plowing snow — when he encountered a Chevy Blazer stuck in a snowdrift. The CDOT employee stopped and offered the woman assistance. When it became clear she would need a tow, the CDOT employee offered to have the woman wait in his truck until help arrived.
Immediately upon her entering the passenger side of the cab, the CDOT employee smelled a distinct "sweet odor of booze," according to records. The CDOT employee also said he noticed the woman spoke with slurred speech and appeared to be "wrecked."
When deputies interviewed the woman, she said she had only had one drink before getting behind the wheel, records stated. However, a preliminary and voluntary Breathalyzer test showed the woman had a blood alcohol content of .225.
When asked to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers, the woman refused. She was then placed into custody for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The woman was ultimately booked into Summit County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or both, careless driving and operating a vehicle with an open alcoholic beverage container.
Silverthorne residents clash in parking lot
At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 Summit County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of a fight in progress in the 2200 block of Lodge Pole Circle in Silverthorne.
Due to being dispatched from Breckenridge, deputies requested the assistance of the Silverthorne and Dillon police departments. While en route to the scene, deputies learned from communications officers that there was a male face down in the snow. Medical personnel were also dispatched to the scene.
When Silverthorne and Dillon police department officers arrived on scene they were able to locate two men suspected of being involved in the fight. The man who was reportedly face down in the snow was conscious when law enforcement officers arrived, reports stated. Both men refused medical treatment at the scene.
During the course of their investigation, law enforcement officers learned both men were drinking before the fight started. One of the men was dealing with the recent loss of his father. The man, who was reportedly knocked out before law enforcement officers arrived, would not stop talking about the other man's father, reports stated.
An argument ensued and the two men went out into the parking lot. While outside, the verbal argument escalated and one of the men tackled the other to the ground, reports stated. A fistfight took place — lasting approximately five minutes — one of the men told officers.
The instigator was issued a summons for disorderly conduct for fighting in a public place and was allowed to return home. The second man, who agreed to submit to a Breathalyzer test, was transported to Summit County jail after blowing a .205. That man's charges were not released in the report.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

This Sunday (30 June), the Jette Parker Young Artists will perform in the JPYA Summer Performance From Studio to Stage, accompanied by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
Directed by Young Artist Pedro Ribeiro, the performance features a selection of staged opera scenes from the 2012/13 Season, including extracts from Die Zauberflöte, L'elisir d'amore, Eugene Onegin and La rondine.

'One extract that I've included especially is from Donizetti's Anna Bolena as it gives Justina Gringyte and Jihoon Kim, who are both finishing their time as Young Artists, a substantial scene.'

Post subject: Who knows how to blow pro audio speakers not touching them
IM working on a science project looking to make pro audio spekers blow out without touching the speakers and having no controll of the speakers. The speakers used in this project im looking to make blow out are the kind you see at a club or dance that dj people use.
an example is a person makes a compact device that can fit in a pocket or purse this device with the push of a button can send some sort of interfeirence into the air that will cause nearby pro audio speakers to malfunction and blow them out or distort the sound quility making annoying screetches and buzzing sound etc..
ever hold a cellphone near a speaker when the phone gets a call the speaker makes a buzzing sound looking to do something like that but much stronger.
where is a good place to find information on this ?
Would a demagnitizer work ?Thank you very much for any knowledge you may have

To cause interference in a speaker you would need lots of energy. The effect you are talking about when you hold a cell phone close to a speaker is actually not effecting the speaker but rather the amplifier circuit.
I can't think of a covert way of doing that from a distance.

here are copys of some replys I got on other websites:
1. do you have access to the speaker wires? could you run current through them to blow them?
2. cell phones emit strong electromagnetic wave when they are in use, and speakers are just a magnet and an electromagnet with a cone attached to them. U need a device that can emit an electromagnetic wave.
3. the closer to the speaker that you are, the more effective the electromagnetic device will be.
try radio transmitters, stun guns or make an EMP device.
good luck.
I don't know that much about electromagnetic interference and harmonic jamming, but I've used a 100Mhz crystal oscillator with an 80cm long antenna stuck on it to shut up my neighbors obnoxious FM - (works in traffic too haha) Only thing is that 100Mhz oscillators are pretty rare, but I managed to find one on some old circuit board from the 90s and de-soldered it. I hooked up power as shown, and stuck on an antenna made from a thin piece of wire. The one I used doesn't put out a square wave. It works by the fact that most cheap radios will have inadequate bandpass filtering on their front end, so the 100Mhz signal swamps stuff out. Most people find a brand new oscillator will only blank out 98-102Mhz. My oscillator was taken from a 486DX4-100 motherboard. Other people have had some success finding similar oscillators and trying this on the Hackaday comments thread. Not every oscillator will have the same pin out as the one I had. As for the actual speakers themselves, I've been a DJ since 1996 and have blown close a good 30, but have really only come to one conclusion: the diaphragm, coil, magnet and cone of the speaker contain parts unaffected by any EM or RW wavelengths. The source is the best way. You could always try an EM jammer, but they're a bitch to make and harder to find than 100MHz oscillators. I wish you the best! Sorry I can't be more help, just bored!

Post subject: anything new on that topic
I have really noisy neighbours which like to listen music loudly. I am tired of asking them to stop or calling the cops. So I am looking for a device with which I can interfere their speakers. I suppose that device will have the same effect on the speakers as the GSM before it starts ringing. Any suggestings?

Many would agree that one of rock's all-time charismatic and entertaining frontman would have to be Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Born Steven Victor Tallarico on March 26, 1948 (just outside New York City in Yonkers), he began playing drums at an early age, but eventually switched to vocals after discovering the Beatles, as well as the tougher blues rock of the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. After moving to Boston in the late '60s, Tallarico hooked up with two members of an up-and-coming outfit called the Jam Band, guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, and after finding drummer Joey Kramer and second guitarist Ray Tabano (who was eventually replaced with Brad Whitford), renamed themselves Aerosmith. The band became a regional sensation, combining the blues sleaze of the Stones/Yardbirds, as well as the power of such hard rock acts as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, as Steven (who by now had changed his name to "Steven Tyler") proved to have a flair for the outrageous — his stage outfits resembled a rock & roll gypsy look, while long scarves dangled from his microphone stand.
By 1973, Aerosmith was signed to Columbia Records and as soon as the quintet issued their self-titled debut that year, the band was besieged with non-stop comparisons to their idols, the Rolling Stones (or more concisely, Tyler and Perry's resemblance both musically and visually to Jagger and Richards). Although the debut didn't set the world on fire, word of mouth and constant touring built the band a hardcore following and due to such all-time hard rock classics as 1974's "Get Your Wings," 1975's "Toys in the Attic," and 1976's "Rocks," Aerosmith became a sensation, selling out arenas and scoring big-time hit albums and singles (the proto-power ballad "Dream On" and the funky rocker "Walk This Way"). But with fame came hardcore drug abuse for the band, which also created constant bickering between the band's two leaders. With the rock & roll lifestyle taking its toll on the band (their albums grew increasingly more and more unfocused), Perry quit the band to pursue a solo career in 1979, with Whitford following a year later.
Refusing to admit that Aerosmith's best days were behind them, Tyler soldiered on with replacement members, as his whole life centered around where and when he would score his next fix (all the sordid details are recounted first hand by Tyler in Aerosmith's excellent 1999 autobiography, "Walk This Way"). With the band in disarray, fast approaching bankruptcy and reduced to headlining theaters as opposed to the enormous football stadiums during their heyday, Tyler and Perry patched up their differences in 1983, leading to a reunion of all the original members a year later. It took a while for the bandmembers to clean up their act, but by 1987 all were clean and sober and promptly reclaimed their title as one of the United States' finest rock & roll bands, on the strength of sold out arena tours and such mega-hit albums as Permanent Vacation and Pump. In the process Tyler became one of the most influential frontmen in rock & roll history, as a plethora of singers in '80s hard rock bands (Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose, Cinderella's Tom Keifer, Motley Crue's Vince Neil, the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, etc.) all resembled Tyler circa 1976 with their look and vocal delivery. By the '90s, Tyler and co. had reinvented themselves as an MTV band, focusing on more pop-oriented material (such as the soppy number one hit ballad "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from the movie Armageddon), while Tyler's daughter, Liv, became a major model and actress.
