The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday schools must pass a stricter legal test when using affirmative action in school admissions. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
The Supreme Court's decision to apply a tough legal standard on college affirmative action policies on Monday was hailed as a win by opposing sides, though supporters acknowledged it meant they'd have to go farther to keep such guidelines in place.
By a 7-1 vote, the court sent a case about the University of Texas admissions policy back to a federal appeals court for review, and directed the appeals court to apply an exacting legal standard known as strict scrutiny rather than accept a university's assurances of acting in good faith. (There were only eight votes because Justice Elena Kagan recused herself since she worked on the issue while she was solicitor general under President Barack Obama).
The case was brought by Abigail Fisher, a white woman who applied to the university in 2008 and was denied. She claimed that her constitutional rights and federal civil rights laws were violated.
Supporters of affirmative action said they were encouraged that the justices at least didn't yet accept the argument that race-based admissions should be completely done away with.
"This is basically where a check engine light has come on," David Hinojosa, a regional counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said of the case.
"Without looking under the hood, Fisher said 'throw away the car, don't even salvage it.' And now what the court has said is, 'let's look under the hood. Now it still might be a faulty light or it might be potentially a tune-up, but we definitely don't need to discard the car altogether,'" said Hinojosa.
Sherrilynn Ifill of the NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund said the ruling — long-awaited since arguments were first made before the high court last October in the case — upheld the standard handed down by the justices in 2003, when they allowed public universities to consider race to get a critical mass of minority students.
Though supporters were thrilled by that, Ifill noted: "We also recognize that the court has put a wrinkle into the analysis that courts will have to use when they assess whether a university's plan meets constitutional muster."
That wrinkle means courts must engage "in a rigorous review" of a university's affirmative action polices. They have to determine that the university couldn't find another race-neutral alternative to achieve the educational benefits of diversity, said Ifill president and director-counsel of the fund.
"That standard is certainly a sharper and a tighter standard," said Ifill. "We believe the University of Texas can meet it and we believe that many other universities ... will be able to do so as well."
But opposing counsel, Edward Blum of the Project on Fair Representation, said he thought the university wouldn't be able to meet that standard and that the justices' ruling would compel the lower court to strike down the UT's use of affirmative action in admissions.
"The Supreme Court has established exceptionally high hurdles for the Univ. of Texas and other universities and colleges to overcome if they intend to continue using race preferences in their admissions policies," Blum said in a statement. "It is unlikely that most institutions will be able to overcome these hurdles."
It may be up to two years before the case is ultimately resolved, said Hinojosa, adding that he believes the Fifth Circuit would in turn have to send the case back down to the lower court.
Supporters of affirmative action said they would also be reaching out to university officials to give them their take on what the decision means in a bid to preserve their policies.
"We intend to be there as other colleges and universities attempt to comply with the court's decision to ensure that the plans that they use for creating their student body will be in accordance with the court's articulation today," Ifill said, later adding: "We ... want to make sure that universities don't turn their back, in an abundance of caution, on the commitment to diversity and opportunity for minority students."

Popes or their families were involved in making expensive and…
The Colosseum is oval shaped arena measuring 187 by 155 meters and 50 meters high. This is the most important and biggest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, capable of seating up to 50,000 spectators at a time. Originally it was called Amphitheater Flavio, but with time this structure came to be known as Colosseum.
The name derives from the bronze statua colossale di Nerone ( literally: colosal statue of Nerone) and also to the colosal dimention of the building (Amphitheater Flavio).
Construction of the Amphitheater began by Emperor Vespasian in 70 A.D. Seven year in to the construction Vespasian died and his son Titus completed and inaugurated the Amphitheater in 80 A.D. The opening ceremony is said to have lasted 100 days and a number of animals ranging from 5000 to 10,000 were believed to have been slayed for this special occasion alone.
The main motive to construct the Amphitheater was to divert attention of people from the political quagmires which were fomenting the seat of the Roman Empire in the second half of the first century A.D. The arena hosted professional and deadly (gladiatorial) fights, sea battles, animal hunts, executions and dramas.
The Colosseum has 3 rows. The first row was for first class (senators, government representatives, military officials). The second row was for the middle class and the last row to the lower class. Colosseum was connected to other training facilities like the Ludus Magnus (the Great Gladiator school) by underground passageways.
The Colosseum was out of service since the Middle Ages and parts of the monument was destroyed by earthquakes, stone robbers, unawarenes, negligence. In the 21st century, this is one of the main sources of income in the Italian economy.

Apple-Samsung Patent Ruling Gets ITC Once-Over
The ITC said Wednesday that it will evaluate a decision issued last October by administrative law judge Thomas Pender which found that Samsung has violated one of Apple's iPhone design patents as well as three software feature patents. The agency also asked Pender to take a second look at parts of two patents where he had found infringement.
The ITC's review of Pender's findings likely means that a final decision in the matter will be issued sometime after its original March 27 deadline. Good news for Samsung, which could see a ban on U.S. imports of some of its products if Pender's ruling stands.
The move follows a December filing to the ITC by Google — which makes the Android OS that runs on the Samsung devices at issue here — encouraging the agency not to block the importation of Samsung's products.
"Apple asserts patents that cover only small aspects of the feature-packed Android platform and that do not drive consumer demand," Google wrote. "These interests do not justify an exclusion order."

Monastyrska takes command in title role of 'Aida'
The meatiest Italian-opera roles, such as the slave Aida or the priestess Norma, are so demanding the singers who can master them are rare.
But Liudmyla Monastyrska has the elusive combination of power, finesse and soul that Giuseppe Verdi's music requires. In Houston Grand Opera's "Aida," her commanding portrayal is the centerpiece of a staging whose musical richness cuts through the visual clutter of overcomplicated designs.
Monastyrska projected the conflict between love and country that grips Aida - the Ethopian slave in love with an Egyptian soldier - in grand style in the opening performance Friday. She poured out Aida's laments - the heart of the role - in rich, poignant phrases. Aida's outcries were ringing and urgent, yet her prayers for mercy floated with a delicacy that made her vulnerability tangible.
Amid the throng of the Triumphal Scene, Monastyrska's voice easily welled up to keep Aida's feelings in the picture. In the finale's farewell-cruel-world duet, her sweet pianissimos demonstrated how Aida's feelings were absorbed with her lover and their afterlife.
Most of the rest of the cast was just as potent. Amonasro, Aida's father, was a formidable figure even as an Egyptian captive, thanks to Scott Hendricks' vigorous, sometimes ferocious singing.
Dolora Zajick brought the gutsiness and introspection that were so effective in the company's spring performances of Verdi's "Il Trovatore" to the role of Amneris, Aida's rival in love. When Am- neris professed compassion for Aida in order to smoke out her secret romance, Zajick's butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth tone betrayed the pretense. Yet Zajick had the delicacy to reveal that Amneris, too, was smitten with the warrior Radames.
Then there was the soldier himself. Riccardo Massi, tall and sturdy, looked the part better than most tenors do. But his voice was built on a more modest scale. In the confrontations with Aida and with Amneris, Massi's singing paled alongside Monastyrka's full-throatedness and Zajick's walloping force. Massi was better suited to the finale, when his gentleness helped prepare for the closing duet's lyricism.
When anyone onstage savored Verdi's lyricism, conductor Antonino Fogliani dovetailed the orchestra with every turn, supplying alluring and evocative musical backdrops. The chorus, for all the heft it supplied in the Triumphal Scene, was even more telling in the quiet moments - such as the priests' Act 1 prayer, when the male chorus' resonance and hush exuded mysticism.
Fogliani also jumped at any chance to fire up the music through speedy tempos and dramatic crescendos, which added electricity. But sometimes he charged ahead at such a clip the singers scrambled to keep up - spitting out words so fast their force was lost. The orchestra deserved credit for playing with bite and precision no matter how hard Fogliani pushed the tempos.

Stage director Jose Maria Condemi laid out the action logically and effectively, and he no doubt helped guide the principals' simple but direct acting. Dominic Walsh's choreography added graceful and celebratory notes, especially in the Triumphal Scene - climaxing with a representation of an Egypt vs. Ethiopia battle.
Sometimes the principals were all but lost amid the visual competition from Zandra Rhodes' sets, which packed the stage with hieroglyphics, sacred images and abstract decorations. Rhodes' costumes were luxuriant and fantasy-laced - such as gold hoopskirts for the priests - but added to the riot. Occasionally, the best way to find the principals was to home in on their voices, which always brought the story back into focus.

After failing to reach an agreement on a long-term extension in Seattle, Matt Hasselbeck has landed in Tennessee with the Titans.
Reports indicate that Tennessee was willing to give Hasselbeck a lengthier contract than Seattle was, and he is expected to open the season as the Titans' starter.
With rookie first-round pick Jake Locker previously atop the depth chart because of Kerry Collins' retirement, the Titans were interested in acquiring a veteran to help ease Locker's transition into the NFL. Hasselbeck's solid character and experience make him a perfect fit for that role.
In Seattle, Hasselbeck had become redundant after the team came to terms with former Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.
Fantasy Impact
Going from the unemployment line to starting in an offense with Chris Johnson certainly improves your chance of success, so the move is positive from Hasselbeck's perspective.
That's not to say you should plan on owning him in 2011.
While the Titans' solid offensive line should keep him upright more than he was in Seattle, it is hard to ignore that he suffered through his worst year as a starter last season. He is also 36 years old and is coming to a team with major question marks at tight end and wide receiver. Avoid Hasselbeck in 2011.
However, Johnson's value gets a slight uptick since Hasselbeck will help take some of the pressure off the rushing game.
The Titans wide receivers and tight ends also see an increase in their fantasy value. Of those players, only Kenny Britt has the potential to be a fantasy starter, and his off-the-field troubles make him a huge risk.
Even with Hasselbeck on board, the only Titan offensive player you want to own is Johnson.

It's National Nutrition Month and the mantra for March is "Eat more whole grains, less refined grains!" This is sound advice that applies to kids, adults and senior citizens, but how does one go about incorporating more whole grains into their diet? Here are some facts and tips to help:
• The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture, recommend that at least half of all grains consumed by adults be whole, which adds up to 3 to 5 servings per day. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy a side of white rice or a slice of white bread, but the focus should be on whole grain foods. Choose nutrient-dense, whole grain foods as part of a healthy eating pattern.
• What are whole grains? In order for a food to be labeled as a whole grain, it must contain more than 16 grams of whole grain ingredients. Examples of whole grain foods that can be found in local markets include brown rice, wild rice, barley, buckwheat, bulgur, oats, quinoa, amaranth, spelt, sorghum, teff and farro.
• What constitutes a serving of whole grains? Typically a 1/2 cup of cooked grains, a slice of 100% whole grain bread or 1 cup of whole grain ready-to-eat cereal is counted as a serving.
• Why whole grains? They are an excellent source of fiber, which helps regulate the bowels and remove wastes from the body, lowers cholesterol, improves blood glucose control and provides vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, manganese, folate, magnesium, copper, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, selenium, riboflavin and vitamin A. In addition, the fiber in whole grains will also keep you satisfied and feeling full longer than refined grains.
Eating a well-rounded diet filled with a variety of food is essential to optimum health at any age. For older adults, making the right dietary choices can be the key to successful aging.

4 congressmen demand answers on undercover sting
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Four congressmen are demanding answers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about whether anyone has been held accountable for a botched undercover guns-and-drugs operation in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the congressmen, including Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., wrote Friday to ATF director B. Todd Jones asking why a supervisor in charge of the Milwaukee operation was not disciplined, but instead got a plum assignment. Bernard Zapor had been in charge of the ATF's St. Paul, Minnesota, Field division, which included the Milwaukee office. Jones later put Zapor in charge of the Phoenix Field Division.
The storefront sting was called Operation Fearless. A Journal Sentinel investigation last year found that an agent's guns were stolen during the operation, including a machine gun that remains missing.

My training hasn't gone quite to plan what with me pulling out of the Moonlight Challenge (33 mile) due to worsening weather conditions (-10 C after wind chill) but overall I have had some very consistent training with a good mix of distance and quality training which is all about getting some solid work under my belt as I prepare mentally for the Grand Union Canal Run (145 mile) in June.
If you guys are interested and want to see how slowly I am doing you can watch the updates throughout the weekend at:
TP100 Live feed
The race starts at 10.00am on Saturday and I am runner 121 (Jeremy Smallwood)
Jerry A runners blog-updated daily
Wow! Will you stash drop bags along the way with dry socks and food?
Good luck (you crazy)
Runners run
Yes, there are 13 aid stations in all and I am able to leave drop bags at 4 of them at miles 28, 51, 71 and 91. I have found some shoe bags for £1 which I will stash socks, gels, toothbrush, vaseline, foot powder and treats. I can just throw them in the garbage after so I do not have to worry about collecting them after. We will be treated with 5 hot food stations (one being the end)
If you are anything like me you will need 1st aid items too: bandaids, moleskin, duct tape and antibiotic cream.
So exciting, I will definietely track you.
Cool as I was going to stash some Duct tape as my heels always go, band aids and cream are in my ever present first aid kit..... most important thing will be stashed in the very last bag at the finish....a bottle of cider
Good luck, Jerry! Smile as often as possible!
Awesome Jerry, I will be tracking and can't wait to hear about it. Sounds like an awesome experience. You are a bit nuts though.
What a shame that the website has been down all day!
What a shame that the website has been down all day!
Frustrating, I don't think they were ready for such interest as it went down after 5 hours.
I am back safe (ish) having completed it in 27 hours under some horrendous conditons snow, rain, wind, sunshine and MUD, quite pleased with that.
Awesome, congrats!
Hooray! Congratulations!

NEW YORK — For pure star power, the Yankees' lineup is a thing of beauty.
NEW YORK — For pure star power, the Yankees' lineup is a thing of beauty.
It has Hall of Famers, home-run hitters, legendary New York sports figures.
Against the Orioles in the division series, it had something else: a .211 team batting average.
The playoffs have a way of turning the most talented lineups into a flurry of flailing swings. Pitching has ruled across the baseball postseason. It has been perhaps most pronounced with the Yankees, who have redefined their impotence after arriving in the playoffs with a track record for struggling in clutch situations this season.
The Yankees' who's-who compilation have disintegrated into a who's-gonna-hit-it question mark. They have been barely better with runners in scoring position, at .219, after finishing 17th in RISP (.256) during the regular year. Before we had a chance to thoroughly process how they beat the O's in the ALDS, the Yanks opened the American League Championship Series against the Tigers a night later at Yankee Stadium.
One of the questions served Yankee manager Joe Girardi before the game? What did he make of Detroit's sporadic offense?
Girardi politely talked up the Tigers. Yet, he clearly had enough to worry about with his own team. The Yanks beat the Orioles largely on the strength of CC Sabathia (two wins) and Raul Ibanez (two home runs in Game 3). If good hitting is contagious, bad hitting must be just as catchy. How else to explain Robinson Cano, who hit .615 in his final 39 at-bats of the regular season, going 2-for-22 (.091) in the ALDS? He has had plenty of support from the cheap seats: Nick Swisher hit .111, Alex Rodriguez .125, Curtis Granderson .158, Ichiro Suzuki .217.
Consider that the Yanks have four of the top 20 active batters, according to baseballreference.com, given longevity requirements that include 1,000 innings and 3,000 plate appearances. They are Ichiro (3rd, 322), Derek Jeter (ninth, 313), Cano (12th, .308) and A-Rod (19th, .300). Yet of the group, only Jeter (.364, four runs) played a major role in the team's series win against Baltimore.
Girardi pointed to several factors involved in the dearth of hitting, by the Yanks and others. For one thing, teams with the top pitching staffs generally make the playoffs. Players try too hard and press. Girardi even pointed to the cooler air that prevents balls from carrying like in the summer.
So which of the stars, if any, was going to step up against the Tigers, who hit a relative meaty .252 in their ALDS victory against the Athletics? Cano would seem to be the best bet — the cleanest, smoothest hitter on the team. His sudden struggles after finishing the season like a beer-league softball all-star might be Exhibit A for the game's unpredictability.
"When you are able to keep a guy down for one round, I like my chances (with Cano) the second round,'' Girardi said. "I really do. I mean, we have seen him go through some ups and downs this year. And when he comes out of it, he's pretty special.''
At least Cano knows he will remain in the lineup no matter how many outs he makes. A-Rod, the most uncertain of Yankee stars both in performance and playing status, was back in the lineup for Game 1 after being benched for the ALDS finale.
"We need this guy to be Alex,'' Girardi said, as if suddenly admitting to an impostor having stolen A-Rod's identity. "If we want to make some noise, we need this guy to be Alex.''
Or, perhaps, Girardi needed his third baseman to be a fresher, younger, tougher version of A-Rod.

Drake - Shut It Down lyrics
Feat : The-Dream
[Produced by Noah "40" Shebib & Omen]
These girls ain't got nothing on you
[Verse 1: Drake]
Uhh, say baby I had to mention
That if you were a star you'd be the one I'm searching for
All the girls they got attention
But I just always feel like there in need of something you got
It's obvious you're pretty
Heard that you're a student working weekends in the city
Trying to take you out girl, hope you're not too busy
And if there's nothing wrong, got this little song for you to get ready to
Put those f**ing heels on and work it girl
Let that mirror show you what you're doing
Put that f**ing dress on and work it kind of vicious
Like somebody's taking pictures
Shut it down, you would shut it down
You be the baddest girl around, and they notice, they notice
You would shut it, hey oh
These girls ain't got nothing on you
[Verse 2: The-Dream]
Girl you're the greatest
And if he say you ain't, girl he's out his mind
You're the finest
And if he say you ain't, that boy done lost his mind
Hey baby, every time you come around
Shut it down like computers
Hey lady, step into my heart
And put you in the Louboutins
What you want, what you need
I can be your everything
Them other n***as just wanna hit it but if they had it
Wouldn't know what to do with it and together
[Bridge: The-Dream]
TMZ, Concrete loop
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/drake/thank-me-later/shut-it-down.html]
You shut that motherf**er down
Ice cream conversations they all want the scoop
You shut that motherf**er down
[Verse 3: Drake]
Shooting Stars all around her, fire, comets
I could bring her through and shut 'em down, Onyx
No, you're not imagining, they're looking at you long stares
Even though she's standing out she looks like she belongs here
You feel the hours pa**, until you find somethin'
I feel like when she moves, the time doesn't
Yeah, baby you finer than your fine cousin
And your cousin fine, but she don't have my heart beating in double time
You just shut it down girl, who told the cops where the party was?
Why do I feel like I found the one? What's in these shots that you ordered us?
Damn, I mean you sure know how to paint a town
Ever since you came around its obvious you shut it down
You looking good girl, go get 'em girl
Go hit 'em girl, go, you shut it down
[Verse 4: Drake]
The way I'm feeling, things I say
All just happen when you pa** my way
What can I do to make you stay?
I know it's getting late but girl I don't want you to leave
You tell me you're just not the type
You wanna do this right and I'm not trying to say
I don't believe you but I refuse to feel ashamed
And if you feel the same, does waiting really make us better people?
Take those f**ing heels off, it's worth it girl
Nothing is what I can picture you in
So take that f**ing dress off, I swear you won't forget me
You'll be happy that you let me lay you down
I'm trying to lay you down
You still the baddest girl around, they notice
Let me lay you down, trying to lay you down
You still the baddest girl around
And they notice they notice, you would shut it

Business self-help books line the shelves of bookstores, but picking the right one that will actually change an entrepreneur's working strategy can be tough.
In a special report Monday on small business, The Wall Street Journal asked seven entrepreneurs and business academics about which self-help books were truly helpful either in getting a business off the ground or helping it to running smoothly.
Here's what they had to say—and none of these successful business owners mentioned anything about cheese or who might have moved it:
1) "The E-Myth"
By Michael E. Gerber
This bestseller explains the importance of entrepreneurs working on their businesses rather than in them, according to J. Richard Braun, owner of Virginia Beach, Va.-based insurance firm Braun Agency Inc.
While people may have the technical skills their new businesses require, they need to focus more on building "replicable systems that can and will operate in an owner's absence," Braun told The Journal.
Creating systems that allow others to operate his business has allowed Braun to pursue new ventures, including other start-ups and real estate investments.
2) "Who: The A Method for Hiring"
By Geoff Smart and Randy Street
Based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, "Who" is the book "that has had the most influence on my business," according to Craig Zoberis, president of Fusion Systems Inc., a contract manufacturer in Burr Ridge, Ill.
Half of all managers have a 50% failure rate in picking new employees, and hiring mistakes cost companies millions of dollars not to mention wasted hours. The authors of this large research study offer a four-step process for better hiring practices, including the use of professional networks.
"Mr. Zoberis adopted this approach at his 40-employee company in 2009 and now doesn't have a lot of mishires," The Journal reported.
3) "Start With Why"
By Simon Sinek
This book was a life-changer for David Hassell, CEO of San Francisco software start-up 15Five, who said Sinek's message "had me understand why it's important to know why you're in a particular business, both for your own fulfillment and for attracting the right customers and employees.'
Those who know why they do what they do are the ones who inspire others, meaning employees who work for more than a paycheck and customers who have a cause to align themselves with, according to Sinek, who shared his ideas about starting with why in a TED Talk.
Spelling out the whys of 15Five showed that the start-up was committed to improving to such a high degree that some customers paid for the company's software while it was still in a rough state. "In fact one of our beta customers even approached us and offered to pay well before I'd even considered asking them to pay," The Journal quotes Hassell as saying.
4) "The Art of the Start"
By Guy Kawasaki
This book, which bills itself as "The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" is the favorite pick of Steven Kaplan, faculty director for the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
Kaplan said "Art of the Start" is a clear, focused and entertaining book that centers on "substance rather than fluff, encouraging entrepreneurs to focus on customers and be specific about their business model."
Geared toward high-growth, high-value start-ups such as tech companies, the book by a former Apple marketing maven is a reminder that the greatest whizz-bang technology available will sell only if entrepreneurs have a deep understanding of who their customers are.
5) "Little Bets"
By Peter Sims
Breakthrough ideas emerge from small discoveries, according to "Little Bets," and this is how the book demolishes the excuses entrepreneurs usually have for not starting a business, says Prof. Saras D. Sarasvathy of the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.
The book lists Apple CEO Steve Jobs, award-winning architect Frank Gehry and Pixar Animation Studios' story developers as achieving breakthrough results by taking methodical, experimental—and small—steps when coming up with new ideas.
"Little Bets," Sarasvathy told The Journal, "shows how 'doing the doable' without waiting for a big idea, or guarantees about the final outcome, can lead to amazing breakthroughs."
6) "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits"
By Verne Harnish
Barrett Ersek, CEO of fertilizer start-up Holganix in Glen Mills, Pa., said this guide to developing disciplined routines was "an important influence in my journey from lawn boy to serial entrepreneur."
Best practices laid out in "Rockefeller Habits" show entrepreneurs how to succeed with structured quarterly and annual planning. The book includes a one-page strategic plan.
Ersek said that since reading the book, he has set up a strict schedule for meetings with his executive team: one and a half days once a year, two hours quarterly, 45 minutes weekly and five minutes daily. Every meeting has a clearly defined purpose, which is a big improvement over previous meetings when "there would be a lot of complaining and little focus," Ersek said.
7) "Street Smarts: An All-Purpose Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs"
By Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham
"I wish I had this book before I started my four businesses," Kalika Nacion Yap, CEO of Citrus Studios, told The Wall Street Journal. "Norm passionately shared real-life experiences that were far more valuable to me than books that merely spout theories."
Yap, whose current business in Santa Monica, Calif., is an interactive design agency, said that knowing earlier what she learned from "Street Smarts" would have helped her tremendously and "saved a lot of heartache."
Business author and motivational speaker Tom Peters lauds "Street Smarts" as a "genius" book written by veteran company-builder Norm Brodsky, who shares his entrepreneurial wisdom monthly in Inc. magazine.

The year 2013 was the first year I, dj bANANAS iN pAjAMAS, graced WCDB as a DJ. It was the best of years, It was a year filled with great music and plenty of hard choices. The top 20 albums according to me are officially out and the crowds have been quelled. Enjoy.
20. Los Campesinos! – No Blues
This album came out on October 29. Many would call this indie rock-pop at it's best, but I call it great music. That's why its number 20. My favorite song, "Avocado, Baby", strikes at my heart strings. The lyrics, "A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy, That's why they call me the avocado, baby" really shows you how this band can be a little goofy but sing about some of the more serious things in life. Do I recommend listening to this album? Of course!
19. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Mosquito
I've listened to this album over and over again, and the music video for "Mosquito" continues to creep me out. This album has a song produced by the GOD James Murphy. The two songs that are to be listened are called "Sacrilege" and "Mosquito".
18. James Blake – Overgrown
Overgrown is one of those albums you can have playing while you do EVERYTHING. Driving? Overgrown. Sleeping? Overgrown. Shopping for groceries? Overgrown. The song "Retrograde" just resonates with your ever living soul. You probably hum, I know I do. His previous album is just a preview of what he can do. This album really shows a mature James Blake. Amazing.
17. The National – Trouble Will Find Me
I started listening to this album by playing the song "Fireproof" through my speakers. It was like a wild fire and before I realized it I had listened to this album multiple times through. There are other songs to look forward to hearing, "Don't Swallow The Cap", "This Is The Last Time", and "I Need My Girl" are just some of the few that need to be named.
16. Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City
The pop that was seen on previous albums is again found in this album. The gang of four that call themselves Vampire Weekend have once again made a great album. Songs like "Step", "Diane Young", and "Unbelievers" really can be traced back to their first album. This album receives my 5 Diane Youngs out of 5 Diane Youngs.

Behind the Sweets: Toni Marie Cox Creates Vanilla Panna Cotta at Toni Patisserie
We may have mentioned once or twice how much we enjoy both the savory and sweet offerings at Toni Patisserie. It's hard not to like high-quality food offered up in such a charming space, and it's just so conveniently located half a block away from Millennium Park, too. It's also hard not to like the woman behind the food and cafe, who is just as pleasant herself.
Though she grew up with a grandma who loved baking birthday cakes for her grandchildren every year, Toni wasn't immediately interested in baking and pastries. While getting a degree in fine arts, she actually worked in the front of the house at various restaurants. It wasn't until she met her husband, a serious kitchen hobbyist, that she made the shift to the back of the house. Once there, her dedication to pastry intensified and she was eventually asked to open The Disneyland Hotel in Paris. Though she primarily made American desserts at the hotel, she explored the authentic Parisian pastries around her and moved back to the states after three years to open her own patisserie in Hinsdale. After building her business there for 17 years, she opened another shop in Chicago just over a year ago.
Along with gorgeous and impeccably made French pastries, sandwiches on fresh, crackly baguettes, and classic composed salads, Toni also offers a creamy and tart cherry panna cotta. She graciously took time away from wedding cake designing and decorating—even now, as the owner of two busy cafe/bakeries, she continues to make this a priority—to show me how she puts a French twist on the classic Italian dessert. Click through the slideshow to find out why she declared this the perfect dinner party dessert.

Born in the small rural town of Wairoa in the Hawke's Bay, Garioch or 'Garry' Clunie was 20 years old at the outbreak of war. He had been working as an independent bushman in the Gisborne area. In 1914 he was living in Paraparaumu, a small town in the north Wellington area.
Clunie enlisted with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) on 25 October 1914, a week after the departure of the New Zealand Main Body from Wellington. He attested in Paraparaumu and was assigned to the 6th (Manawatu) Squadron, Wellington Mounted Rifles Regiment. Shortly after, he was sent to Awapuni Camp in Palmerston North to begin his training.
After several months' training at Awapuni Camp, Clunie was sent to Wellington on 11 December 1914 to join the rest of the NZEF's 2nd Reinforcement convoy of 1,752 men. These soldiers paraded at Wellington's Newtown Park in the expectation that they would depart from Wellington Harbour on 13 December. However, the weather was too rough to sail, and the 2nd Reinforcements did not depart until 5 am the following morning.
Clunie was billeted to HMNZT Verdala for the voyage to Egypt. Verdala was accompanied on this trip by two other New Zealand transport ships – Willochra and Knight of the Garter.
The convoy had a rough passage across the Tasman Sea to Hobart. Clunie describes this in a letter to his brother, Will:
Just a few lines to let you know that we are having at tip top time of it. We had a pretty rough trip to Hobart but I never got sick and so I enjoyed the trip all right. We lost six horses so far… We expect to get to Albany tomorrow evening but I don't know wether [sic] we will stop or not. Our officer was telling us this morning that if the others were in action by the time we got there, we would just take coal and water and go right on, and I hope we do. The sooner the quicker now I would like to be there in the first scrap…
Having spent Christmas at sea, the NZEF 2nd Reinforcement convoy arrived in Albany on 28 December 1914, where it joined the Australian fleet. Together, they embarked as the Second Convoy on 31 December 1914.
Clunie appears to have enjoyed his passage to Egypt, writing to his brother, 'We are still plodding across the water. My word the sea is as calm as can be and the weather is tip top'. Despite the calm voyage, Clunie explained that the trip was not uneventful:
There were five men died on our ship and four on the Australians... Isn't it hard luck kicking out before they get to the front … I had a good bit of fun in Colombo, they did not grant leave but we took French leave ... we saw all the town ... of course the next day [we were] fined ... but it was worth it.
After a seven-week voyage, Clunie disembarked in Alexandria, Egypt, on 1 February 1915. The horses were unloaded the following day. The 2nd Reinforcements arrived in Cairo by train on 2 February 1915, and marched to nearby Zeitoun Camp to join the NZEF Main Body soldiers and begin their desert training.
Clunie wrote to his brother a few days after his arrival, giving his impressions of the camp:
We are camped out on the hard desert and it is not a bad place either. It is terribly sandy of course, but very healthy. We have a real good camp with every convenience. We have big mess rooms and hot and cold baths. There is good water from the Nile... We get plenty of leave here, we have every night off from 6 untill [sic] 10 and Sunday we have 10 in the morning untill [sic] 10 at night and we have a half holiday on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
On 4 March 1915 Clunie was officially attached to the rest of the Main Body soldiers, becoming a member of No. 2 Troop, 6th (Manawatu) Squadron, Wellington Mounted Rifles.
At Zeitoun Camp, training and lectures were complemented by leisure time, when soldiers were allowed to visit the nearby sights of Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza. Clunie wrote a number of letters to his brother, describing his activities:
5 February – The first day after we got here I went into Cairo, it is about 4 miles and the trams run us in for 1 piasta that is equal to 2 pence. … [It] is a big place about a million population and there are some fine buildings there. The European quarters of the town are very nice, the buildings are up to date and the trams, my word they are fine, they are beautiful cars and by jove they do travel. The trains here are fairly fast too. The native streets are filthy shows.
23 March – I had a good time out at the Zoo last Sunday, my word it is worth seeing, there are all sorts of things imaginable, the giraffes took my eye the most. There was one there I'll swear stood 18 feet and they are very pretty. I watched the old hippo too, he is a cute old beggar. We had a big review here last Monday morning by General Godley and the high commissioner and that afternoon we left here for a place called Barrage about 20 miles away. We went there to give our horses swimming practice in one of the big dams. My word Will it was a picnic, the best holiday I have had yet out here.
Clunie wrote to his brother again on 6 May 1915, just after receiving news that he would soon be leaving for Gallipoli. His letter illustrates his knowledge of how poorly the campaign was going.
I am just going to scribble a few lines to let you know the best news we have had yet. We are off to the Dardanelles on Saturday dismounted. We heard the other day that the brigadier offered the brigade as infantry and we were accepted. We are not going to carry any packs I believe, just our mounted equipment and a few little things we will need. Isn't it good though Will, aft the way our boys fought to be going over to help them, my word they did but up a fight. I believe it was a real slaughter while they were landing. I have not heard how Ben got on yet. I see 3 chaps out of his section of 12 men are in hospital but I have not had a chance to see them yet. Anyhow I Hope he is still going strong. By gum Will you can't imagine what a pleasure it is to be getting out of this hole of a place. Only two more days here. Oh it is alright. Well Will, that is pretty well all the news I can think of here at present. How is Nell and the children and yourself all getting on. I heard that you have been having good weather there lately and having a good season with the cows and I heard that granddad was coming down soon, so tell him from me that (it) is a great pleasure to know that there is two of the family at the Turks and I reckon with a bit of luck we will both give a good account of ourselves.
Our New Zealand boys lost a bit over 1000. There are about 7000 so they lost pretty heavy but things won their way. How are all the folks there. I hope they are all well. Please remember me to all. The third reinforcement are to stay and look after the horses, so they won't be there for a good while if ever they have the luck. By Jove there are a few cold feet in our regiment. there won't be no trouble if they call for more volunteers for to help the thirds at the base. Well Will old boy I can't write any more as I have six more to write and I have only tonight and tomorrow night
So with heaps of love to you all I must close
From your loving Brother
PS: don't forget to write.
PS: how is the garden.
The Wellington Mounted Rifles left Egypt on 8 May 1915. On 12 May, they landed at Anzac Cove and went straight into action. The New Zealand Infantry Brigade were still at Cape Helles, so the riflemen were assigned to support British and Australian units in holding the line at Walker's Ridge in the Anzac sector. In his diary, Clunie described his first week on the peninsula. While the first few days were relatively quiet, on 19 May the Ottomans launched an attack with 42,000 men and were repelled with great loss of life.
12th [May] – We lay off Cape Helles all day and went up to Anzac and landed at 7o'clock under fire. We marched up a bit of a gully and camped for the night. It seemed our boys were just up the cliff but it was the bullets cracking instead of the rifle shots...
14th – We have only got one pint of water a man to do us for 24 hours, to make tea and all. So we are going pretty dry. It is hot and dusty in the trenches too...
15th – I had some very good shooting this morning at some 5 Turks laying in a line at 250 yards. I hit two and the other three got for it – got one sniper...
16th – I had a very interesting duel this morning. I put my head up and very nearly had it shot off, so I got to another position and watched and presently I saw him in the bush just behind the Turk trench at 200 yards. So I got to it and so did he. We must have fired about ten shots each and at last I hit him and he died there but by jove her gave me a narrow go for it. I had two through my tunic and the others were hitting the sand bags all round me. Best fun I had ever shooting yet...
19th – The Turks made an attack in massed formation on us and the Australians on the whole front about 3 o'clock this morning and were repulsed. Their killed is estimated at 3,000 and wounded 7,000 – killed and our casultys [sic] altogether were 106.
In the final few days of May, the Wellington Mounted Rifles were engaged in a major action at No.3 Post (afterwards known as 'Old No.3 Post'). Clunie and the 6th (Manawatu) Squadron worked through the night on 28 May, attempting to improve the trenches at No.2 Post. By daylight, their position was still very exposed, and the squadron was forced to 'hold tight' until darkness fell. They were relieved by the 9th (Wellington East Coast) Squadron at 9pm on 29 May, but shortly after this the Ottoman soldiers attacked the position with great ferocity, leaving the 9th cut off from any reinforcements. Attempts were made by the 2nd and 6th Squadrons to connect No.2 and No.3 Posts, but these failed to break through.
The official history of the Wellington Mounted Rifles recalls:
As the day [30th May] wore on the magnitude of the folly of ordering a small force to hold this isolated and badly-sited salient became more apparent, but our men continued to defend in magnificent style, cramped as they were in shallow trenches against tremendous odds and better-equipped troops. Grim determination and bulldog tenacity alone enabled them to hold against the shock of bombs and bullets which were showered on the position. Had our men been equipped with bombs, their fighting chances would have been greatly enhanced; but they made the utmost use of the weapons at their disposal, and further stiffened their defence by boldly catching and throwing back live Turkish bombs, which in many cases exploded in the ranks of the enemy.
Late in the evening of 30th May, the Ottoman attacks died down and the 9th Squadron was able to retreat to Fisherman's Hut. The other squadrons attempted to hold No.3 Post, but eventually found the position untenable and abandoned the post to the Ottomans.
Clunie related the event in his diary:
30th [May] – We got word just before daylight that the 9th (C Sqn, WMR) were cut off so we had to go and get them out. We scrapped all day and broke through and pushed the Turks back to let the 9th out with their wounded. Heavy casultys [sic] on both sides. They had 30 and just as they got into the bottom of the gully a big reinforcement of Turks came up and we retired closing in behind the 9th. We got down to Fisherman's Hit and got into some trenches there after 2 bayonet charges and we held there till just on daylight where the Turks retired up into the hills and we left and came home.
Chunuk Bair
Between June and July, the Wellington Mounted Rifles experienced a quiet period, mainly garrisoning the Walker's Ridge area. On 6 August 1915 Clunie's squadron was called on to participate in the August Offensive. The squadron took and held Destroyer Hill, but lost their commander in the action. On 7 August the Manawatus joined the rest of the Regiment and the Maori Contingent on Table Top.
The next day the Regiment moved up to Chailak Dere and then onto Chunuk Bair itself. There, the Wellington Mounted Rifles and the Otago Infantry Battalion supported the Wellington Infantry Battalion until late on 9 August, when they were relieved and moved back to No. 1 Out Post. After surviving the heavy naval artillery, machine-gun and rifle fire of the battle for Chunuk Bair, Clunie was wounded by a bullet in the thigh on 10 August while in this 'rest' area. The wound was serious enough to invalid him off Gallipoli. He was taken to hospital in Alexandria to recover, and did not return to Gallipoli until 10 November 1915.
Clunie wrote to his brother from hospital to tell him about the battle at Chunuk Bair:
Just a few lines to let you know I'm not much hurt. I was very lucky to get off so lightly as a terrible lot of our boys went down, my word it was a great charge, we were after a hill that dominates the country round for miles and right across the peninsular and we got to it, but our regiment has suffered heavily and all the other regiments the same. There are only one or two of our boys still going there, they are nearly all wounded or killed.
They landed a big force of Kitcheners' army there and by gum they fought well and now I think the war on Gallipoli will soon end and I hope to be in at the kill. I think I will get back in a week or so. I am able to walk about again now and these little bullet holes don't take long to heal. The bullet is still in my leg but don't think they will bother to take it out here yet as it won't effect [sic] my walking and they say it takes these operations a long while to heal. I was sorry when I got hit, I should have liked to go right through the charge, it lasted for 3 days and I can tell you at times it was lively.
Well dear old Will the only thing I hope now is they cure me and send me back in time for the kill. How are you all keeping – Nell and all the children. Are you all well. I often used to think over on the peninsular what I would have given for about two hours on your farm where I would have got at the milk and the cakes. How is the little garden doing that we used to do such a lot of talk over and a little work. By gum Will those were great days discussing war and tugging away at all those old roots. It was great and I often think of those happy old times. Still I don't think it will be such a great time now before we all come trooping home again. I don't think the war will last a great deal longer. It is not a bad life. Will, this soldierings [sic] a bit lazy that is the only trouble. I would far prefer the horse work to the trenches except when we get out to fight like we did over there the other day. It was good. The best sport ever I had, only I broke my bayonet once and I was scared that one of them might skewer me before I got another one but there were plenty of rifles and bayonets all over the place. It was all bayonet pretty well the whole charge and I soon grabbed another one. By gum the black devils stood up to us with the hooks to start with but by god they did yell attack when we got to work. they very soon broke and scaled. Oh Bill it is a glorious feeling to chase them as we did that night. Well I'll have to be closing down. Last I saw of Bill Lynch he was all right, please remember me to all the folks about there and give my love to jnr and now with love to you all I must say.
Good bye from your loving brother
I haven't caught a Hun for Donald yet, plenty of dead ones.
A month after Clunie's return to Gallipoli, it was announced that there was to be a full retreat of the allied forces, beginning on 17 December 1915. Clunie was in one of the last parties of the Wellington Mounted Rifles to leave the Anzac sector, early in the morning of 20 December.
He described the evacuation in a letter to his brother:
Well old Boy I guess you have heard by now that we have left old Anzac for good, it was hard luck Will wasn't it after all the good old boys we have lost. It was a knock to us that have been fighting there all the time and I don't mind telling you that I think any of the old hands would have far rather had word to have another go for 971 than to give it all up for nothing, however the evacuation was a great success even more so than was expected I think. Of course they had been sending stuff away for a week before we left, then word came that half of every regiment in the firing line was to go at 4.30 one afternoon. Next day, the same time 18 went from each squadron. At 9 o'clock 9 went and that only left 7 of us to defend our whole length of trench untill [sic] 3 in the morning. There was only one man at each lookout post, which were about 2 chain apart and I can tell you it was a long lonely watch. We had to stand with our head over the trench the whole time and our legs ached something awful. Of course we were all old boys that stayed and when we left we were sort of expecting the Turks to break, but luckily for us their spies had not been up to the mark and we were able to stick out our chests and march off in quite a dignified way. We had about two miles to go to the landing and just as we got into the punts they blew up Walers and retired so they only had to come onto the punt and away we went. Well it was a great joke the Turks never knew we had gone, for the usual fire went on after we had left, we could hear them firing away on the empty trenches and at 7 the next morning they put in a great bombardment over our trenches. It was a great joke to see them shelling the place and no one there...
In March 1916 the New Zealand Mounted Rifles was reorganised into the Anzac Mounted Division, which included three brigades of the Australian Light Horse. They remained in Egypt, defending both the Suez Canal and a new water pipeline and railway being built by the British Army across the Sinai Desert. Clunie fought with the Wellington Mounted Rifles in several actions during this campaign, the most dramatic being the battle of Romani where the Anzac horsemen successfully defended the strategic village of Romani from a large Ottoman attack.
On 9 August 1916, in the aftermath of Romani, Clunie received a gunshot wound to his left shoulder and a slight wound on his leg.
Listen to Clunie describe fighting at Katia, near Romani, and the gunshot wound he sustained in eastward advances at Bir el Abd.
He was sent to the 27th General Hospital in Abbassia, Cairo for treatment and then to Aotea Convalescent Hospital to recover. Clunie did not return to the battlefield until December 1916, in time to participate in the final battles of the Sinai Campaign at Magdhaba and Rafa.
After forcing the Ottomans out of the Sinai peninsula, the Anzac Mounted Division advanced into Palestine. Clunie fought with the Wellington Mounted Rifles in the first and third battles of Gaza, the drive on Jericho, and the raids against Es Salt and Amman in early 1918. During this campaign, Clunie was promoted twice, firstly to lance sergeant in July 1917, and then to his final rank of sergeant on 27 August.
From April until October 1918 the division was stationed around the Jordan Valley, an area rife with malignant malaria. Despite the best efforts of their medical officers to limit its spread, many of the men contracted the disease.
The official history of the Wellington Mounted Rifles recalls:
With the approaching heat of a Jordan summer and the dreaded spectre of malignant malaria before them, the medical officers of the Brigade at once began to wage war on mosquitoes by draining swamps, and treating standing water with crude oil, which floated on the top and killed the young mosquitoes as they rose up to it. These and other precautions were maintained throughout the summer, with the satisfactory result that the incidence of malaria, in the area thus treated, was wonderfully small.
The Jordan Valley at Jericho lies 1200 feet below sea level, and its fine dust on the plain and thick jungle near the Jordan are infested by scorpions, centipedes, and snakes, pilgrims of the night mainly amongst the men's bedding. Swarms of flies infest the Valley by day, when the intense heat makes the rocks unbearable to the touch, and movements of men and horses raise clouds of blinding dust.
Clunie fell ill on 20 September 1918 with malaria. He was hospitalised for several months and recovered, but suffered a relapse of the disease in late 1918. As a result of his illness, he missed the successful capture of Amman, the battle of Megiddo, and the final defeat of the Ottoman armies in the Middle East in September 1918.
Clunie was sent home from Egypt on 19 April aboard the troopship Kaikoura and discharged from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in May 1919.
After marrying Doris Phoebe Connor on 21 June 1919, Clunie took advantage of the New Zealand Government's Returned Serviceman's loan scheme and bought a farm in Rimu Road, Raumati Beach near Paraparaumu. There, the couple raised a large family of eight children.
Clunie rarely talked about his war service with his family, but enjoyed sharing stories in the company of his former comrades. He became interested in politics and social reform during the Depression and was dismayed by the outbreak of the Second World War. Unlike many returned serviceman, he refused to offer his services to the Home Guard. According to his diary and letters published by his grandson Kevin Clunie, he deeply regretted the lives he had taken during the war, especially towards the end of his life. On 19 February 1971 Clunie died at his home aged 76.

And then they hush their children back to sleep, Lock the doors, upstairs they creep, For it is said that the souls of the dead Fill that train ten thousand deep!! Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side, His family were crying, Knelt in prayer before he died, But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead, Was the devil with a twinkle in his eye, "Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine!!" Just then the lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light, and shouted at the devil, "get thee hence to endless night!!" But the devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned, but there's no need to push me around, I got him first so you can do your worst, he's going underground!!" "But I think I'll give you one more chance" said the devil with a smile, "So throw away that stupid lance, it's really not your style," "Joker is the name, Poker is the game we'll play right here on this bed, and then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet, the souls of the dead!!" And I said "Look out, Lord, he's going to win, the sun is down and the night is riding in, that train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, oh lord, he's going to win!!" Well the railwayman he cut the cards and he dealt them each a hand of five and for the lord he was praying hard or that train he'd haev to drive... Well the devil he had three aces and a king, and the lord he was running for a straight, he had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades, all he needed was the eight... And then the lord he called for one more card, but he drew the diamond eight, and the devil said to the son of god, "I believe you've got it straight, so deal me one for the time has come to see who'll be king of this place, but as he spoke, from beneath his cloak he slipped another ace... Ten thousand souls was the opening bid, and it soon went up to fifty-nine, but the lord didn't see what the devil did. and he said "that suits me fine." "i'll raise you high to a hundred and five, and forever put an end to your sins," but the devil let out a mighty shout, "my hand wins!!" and I said "lord, oh lord, you let him win, the sun is down and the night is riding in, that train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, oh lord, don't let him win... Well that spanish train still runs between Guadalquivir and old Seville, and at the dead of night the whistle blows, and people fear she's running still... and far away in some recess the lord and the devil are now playing chess, the devil still cheats and wins more souls, and as for the lord, well, he's just doing his best... and i said "lord, oh lord, you've got to win, the sun is down and the night is riding in, that train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line, oh lord, you've got to win...!" ------------------ --------------- Digital Painting Gallery http://anthonys.8m.com "you must feel the force in order to use it Obi-Wan..."

Felciano hits, Bisons fall in 9th
Sunday's game seemed to be played with the enthusiasm you would expect from two teams way out of playoff contention on the last week of the regular season. Until the ninth inning that is.
The Bisons erased a one-run deficit in the ninth on a three-run home run from Jason Dubois to take a two- run lead. But Lehigh Valley answered in the bottom half on the inning as JJ Furmaniak's walk-off, two-run single gave the IronPigs the 5-4 victory Sunday night at Coca-Cola Park.
Jesus Feliciano had three hits and increased his lead in the IL hit chase. The outfielder now has 154 hits on the season, six more than Scranton/WB's Austin Jackson.
