Hail! the digitalisation of newspapers. Not only is it fascinating to read 'old' news but for family historians, newspapers are a treasure trove of information about family members. Online newspaper archives have saved me hours of travelling and made searching so much easier. Although (it is fitting to say this immediately following 'follow a library' day), I absolutely adore libraries, I do have to admit that a search of the London Times, online, has made my search for ancestors in the UK so much easier.
[I would never suggest that an online search facility for newspapers could ever replace the good old library. Whether it is the smell of 'cut grass', 'mould', 'history', or whatever else it is that attracts one to libraries or archives.. I just love them. In fact, my children have to physically restrict me when walking walk past any library, just to prevent me from entering.] I digress... back to my topic of newspapers [which, I must add have been digitalised for the most part, by our wonderful libraries.]
The stories of my ancestors have been become more personal and so much more interesting through the chronicles of 'news' I have collected from newspapers. There is a wealth of information that newspapers can provide, about the everyday happenings, adventures, affairs (literally) and escapades in the lives of our ancestors. The photograph above, from the Brisbane Courier Mail in 1954, is the only picture that I have of my parent's marriage. This is much more than just a picture, as it tells me that my parents' wedding reception was held at a place called Whytecliffe. Since both of my parents died quite young, I would never have known this. Thanks to this newspaper photograph , I have since researched Whytecliffe to discover that it was was a beautiful home which was taken over by the military during the second world war for use as barracks for the WAAAF and then used for wedding receptions after the war had ended.
On my paternal side of the family, it is common knowledge that my great grandfather, John McDade, was killed by a falling branch as he walked through a park on his way home from work. He actually died the next day, after a hospital sent him home declaring him fit and well. But as family lore states, 'well', he was not the next morning. His obituary does not tell this story, however I was fortunate to have a reliable first hand account from my grandfather. From my maternal side of the family, I have no oral accounts of anything, so I have been reliant upon documents such as marriage and death certificates for information. Despite having received from New Zealand, a copy of the death certificate for my 2 time great grandfather, James Berry Hoyes, I had no idea that he, also, had been involved in an unfortunate accident until I searched the New Zealand National Library's digitalised newspaper site http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/. On entering the name James Berry Hoyes, I discovered a number of headings, including 'Old Man Killed', Casualties', and 'Fatalities'. The Evening Post, on
December, 24, 1910, reported that James had been fatally struck by a bicycle as he alighted from a tram in Queen Street near Fort Street at 3 pm on that afternoon. The Hawera and Normanby Star reported that James was aged 76 years old and was a resident of Devonport. This news article also explained that he had succumbed to injuries at 5.30 pm and added that the 'cyclist had 'received a nasty tumble.' The Poverty Bay Herald also ran the story and added the further information that named the cyclist as a Mr Bush and with a more personal touch the journalist from this newspaper reported that James Berry Hoyes was on his way to buy his wife a bonnet for Christmas. Thanks to these newspaper reports, I was able to learn so much more about the sad and untimely death of my great great grandfather.
I had always assumed that the same James Berry Hoyes had immigrated to New Zealand for religious reasons given that he and his wife, Elizabeth, were part of the missionary group, the Albertlanders, however, as I mentioned in a previous story, the London Gazette, www.london-gazette.co.uk/ provided me with a new motive for the family's move. James Berry Hoyes, a miller from Houghton, Lincolnshire, was declared bankrupt in October of 1862, the year before he left England for the new colony of New Zealand. This news makes me appreciate all the more, the impressive way in which he made such a success of his life in new Zealand
It is often quite seemingly insignificant fragments of information that one finds reported in newspapers that fill in some missing gaps or provide us with a more accurate picture of someone from the past. From a search of the national Library of Australia's Trove website, I have discovered that my 2 times great grandfather, John Gottlieb Nargar [Nerger], who lived in Maryborough, was a keen breeder of finches. He entered his birds in a number of agricultural shows, the results of which were printed in The Queenslander and The Brisbane Courier Mail in the early 1900's. I now have a quite different picture in my mind of my tough, strict, German timber-getter, great great grandfather. He was a gentle nurturer of tiny birds. I see that there was a devoted and caring side of him now. Each, small morsel of information we can gather about our ancestors helps to make them become more real to us.
My Morrison great great great grandparents came to Sydney, Australia in 1878. I knew little of their lives except that they, for some reason relocated to Queensland in the 1900's and died in a town called Cooroy in 1927. They are Pioneers of Cooroy. Since the launch of the National Library's Trove site http://trove.nla.gov.au/ I have slowly built up a truly amazing story of my 3 times great grandfather, John Morrison from Aberdeen, Scotland. From articles in The Sydney Morning Herald I have ascertained that he was a well respected builder in Sydney, having built a number of impressive projects for architects such as Blackett Bros and others. (The Blackett brothers were the sons of colonial architect Edmund Blackett). Chapter House which adjoins St Andrew's Cathedral was built by John Morrison, builder, of Strathfield. John also built the Strathfield Council Chambers, St Enoch's Presbyterian Church at Newtown, Burwood Presbyterian Church and a large number of villas and homes all around Sydney. Advertisements in the SMH show the whereabouts of his construction sites as do advertisements and tenders for for tradesmen for his projects.
The Sydney Morning Herald also led me to discover that in 1890, John Morrison was contracted by the NSW government to build a large number of rail carriages. I discovered through newspaper articles that he had a large tram and rail carriage building works at Strathfield Station, where the Tafe College now stands. By all accounts, the evidence from newspaper reports showed this man to be a most successful and productive citizen of Sydney. Then, according to advertisements in 1895 in the SMH, John Morrison lost everything he had worked hard to achieve. Large advertisements in the SMH, announced that household goods and carriage works equipment would be sold at auction.
The reason for the sale was reported to have been the cancellation of an order of 180 rail carriages which the NSW government had ordered. Because of this, John Morrison was ruined. Reading the list of furniture and personal items in the newspaper almost brought me to tears. How devastated must my 3 times great grandparents have been to lose their beautiful things. They had two grand pianos, top quality furniture and paintings by renowned artists, jewellery designed by well known jewellers and ladies riding equipment. These advertisements for the auction of the Morrison's personal possessions illustrated the lifestyle they had become accustomed to, living with their 10 children, in the beautiful leafy suburb of Strathfield.
Through the Brisbane Courier Mail, I followed John Morrison's journey to Ipswich, Queensland where it was reported that he acquired the position of foreman in the South Eastern Railway Works. The social pages of the same newspaper reported holidays that the Morrison family members went on, especially several of their daughters who became nurses and one a matron of her own hospital in Cooroy. A delicious little tidbit of gossip such as the following report in the Brisbane Courier Mail, November 30, 1925, which announced that ' Nurse Vinna Morrison (Cooroy Hospital) left by this morning's mail for Sydney and Cobar', sent me on a search for the reason that Vinna would have travelled to Cobar. There I found another Morrison daughter, Inez, also a nurse and a whole new line of family.
The Morrison family deserve an entire blog of their own and so I will leave them for now, except to say that when the NSW State Rail Museum at Thirlemere opens after its huge renovation, in March of 2011, I will be there, with bells on to see several of my 3 times great grandfather's rail carriages, beautifully restored. ( His first carriage unrestored pictured right at Thirlemere).
You don't need to have a builder or a finch collector in the family, to find your ancestors in newspapers. In fact, if your forebears engaged in any criminal activities, you can be certain that they will appear somewhere in a newspaper . I might have believed forever that my Irish convict great great grandfather, Michael Frayne had reformed himself and become a model citizen had he not appeared so frequently in so many newspapers engaging in such wicked acts as to entice a man to his home on the pretence of selling a bed, drugging the fellow and stealing his wallet and money. Michael and his first wife Bridget, appeared so many times in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Maitland Mercury and the Brisbane Courier Mail, with detailed accounts of their wicked escapades, that I was left with no illusions as to the unfortunate character of this particular ancestor (who I must proclaim that I do not resemble in the least!).
My great uncle was hit by a car at the age of seven, in Toowoomba in Queensland. Now in his 90's, he does not recall the incident and but for the newspaper report in 1924, the family would never had known. My maternal grandfather rode a motorbike in the 1920's. I know this because of the number of fines he received for speeding, that were published in the Brisbane Courier Mail. My Irish paternal grandparents were well respected members of the Darling Downs farming community and received a hearty and musical farewell by the townsfolk of Kaimkillenbun in 1920. The article in the Dalby Herald details the recitations and songs that were sung at an afternoon reception in their honour.
The adventures of my great uncle Rex Morley Hoyes, with MI5 and the Nizam of Hyderabad, his illegal gun running and trial for bribery and corruption, not to mention his escapades with Australian pilot Sidney Cotton or WW11 double agent, Eddie Chapman, his home, Marwell Hall once owned by King Henry VIII and huge steam yacht 'Warrior 11', his numerous divorces, name changes and a mysterious title, along with a speed boat with the racy name of 'Miss x' would all have been lost to me, but for the fascinating availability of online searches of digitalised newspapers. Thanks to the London Times, I know the very address where great Uncle Rex conducted his affair in 1933, with Lady Waleran, and the details of the two divorces which followed this pubic disclosure.
Newspapers occupy an irreplaceable place in family history research. The information found in news reports can trace and colour the lives of our ancestors in a way that is beyond the imagination.
'Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers.' Will Rogers 1879-1935: in the new York Times 1923

"A national political campaign," H.L. Mencken once observed, "is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in."
Baptisms and hangings aside, Mencken's characterization of a campaign as a circus-like affair—alternately thrilling, entertaining, silly and (occasionally) a matter of life and death—still strikes a chord. Just like at the circus, during any hard-fought, high-profile campaign we watch, shake our heads and hold our breath, stunned by the spectacle and wondering how on earth the performers can keep going day after day, night after night.
But it's also worth pointing out that, in some very elemental ways, pretty much all American political campaigns are very much alike, and (like circuses) they have looked and felt the same for as long as Democrats and Republicans have been vying for the House, the Senate, governors' mansions and, of course, the Oval Office.
Here, as the 2014 midterm elections heat up, LIFE.com presents photos of American politicians on the campaign trail: famous leaders and largely forgotten pols shaking hands, kissing babies, eating everything put in front of them, traveling in planes, trains and automobiles in search of one more vote. It's not pretty—but then, while it might be highly entertaining, no one ever said that politics was an especially attractive endeavor.

I just read this article from ESPN on Rodgers and for some reason, it made me think of comparing Rodgers with the Milwaukee Brewers' left fielder Ryan Braun. Over the last year or so, I have had the chance to watch interviews with them, read commentaries about them and see these guys play (though Rodgers sparingly), and I decided I just couldn't help myself from making this comparison.
Now, there are some of you out there who are ready to rip me apart wondering how I can begin to compare a mostly unproven Rodgers to the 2007 MLB Rookie of the Year – a player who shattered many rookie records? How can I even put Rodgers in the same sentence as a major leaguer who, in his first full year now (last year through present), has a .314 average, 47 HRs, a bunch of RBIs and .622 slugging %, etc etc (unreal stats for a first year player)? Or, you might be saying "I hate baseball, why would you bring baseball into a discussion at Packergeeks"?
Well, the comparison I want to draw is more of an intangible one. These guys may look alike (which is mostly irrelevant, but it is curious – like Geoff Jenkins and Favre…in fact, check out their respective photos, Rodgers here and Braun here). And both of these guys came into the league highly touted having impressed at the lower levels. But the comparison that is most compelling to me is their confidence level. For those of you who follow the Milwaukee Brewers, you know that Ryan Braun's confidence is well-documented. Just yesterday morning, on ESPN's Milwaukee radio show the D-List, Tom Haudricourt (the fantastic baseball writer for the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel) and the hosts all talked about Braun's tremendous self-confidence and more specifically, his strong belief in his own talent. Similar things have been said about Rodgers and his view of himself over the past few years.
One of the most difficult facets of developing young talent into leaders, however, can be a blurred distinction between confident leadership and potentially divisive cockiness. In fact, the discussion on the D-List yesterday morning concerned Braun's recent calling out of teammates for having a poor approach to the weekend series in Boston. He contended that the players didn't go in with the belief that they were going to win and this led to their demise. Some view Braun's comments as just being cocky arguing that at 24, Braun is too young to step into such a leadership role. I believe his comments were more characteristic of an emerging leader who just wants to win.
I can see Rodgers quickly stepping up into a similar leadership role. I don't think he has a choice considering the void Favre's leadership leaves. However, I have to admit that I didn't always believe he could evolve into strong leader. When cameras would flash to Rodgers on the sidelines over the past few years with goofy facial hair situations or odd haircuts, I was a bit concerned. I thought "who does he think he is? Cocky, attention-seeking, unproven goon" (despite not having used the word goon for some 2+ decades). Since then, we've learned that Rodgers did this to keep the mood light and to get teammates fired up – a joking quality not unlike his legendary predecessor. Reading about him more and listening to his take on things has given me a sudden feeling that he may in fact be the right guy at the right time. I think we'll find that Rodgers' character will slowly emerge in the media (like in this ESPN article) and as we get to know him, it won't take long before Packer fans rally hard behind him – which will help him build even greater confidence as an NFL QB.
Like Braun, Rodgers appears to have a strong belief in his talent, a good attitude, a swagger and a strong desire to win. Though the Dallas game was one game (and though there were some concerning whining moments), we all saw his competitive spirit as he nearly pulled off an improbable comeback. During that game, he was very focused on the task at hand and did whatever he could to help the team win. He's very bright, he had an outstanding college career, he's talented, he's determined, he's learned from one of the best QBs ever and he has one of the top coaches for young QBs around in Mike McCarthy. We have reason to have confidence in Aaron Rodgers and he has reason to have confidence in himself.
So mentally, Rodgers is in a great spot – now, let's just hope his body can handle the pounding of the NFL.

University News
Contractor: WIU-QC Riverfront Phase II
January 14, 2013
MOLINE, IL -- A local contractor was recently awarded the bid by the Illinois Capital Development Board (CDB) to begin construction on Phase II of the Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Riverfront campus.
Bush Affiliates, LLC of Davenport (IA) has been named the general contractor. Bush's $29.5 million single prime bid for construction of a 94,800 square foot classroom complex is funded by the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program. According to Bill Brewer, assistant director of physical plant, WIU-QC operations and maintenance, construction will begin upon completion of contracts, with an anticipated completion of Summer/Fall 2014.
"We are pleased that a contract has been awarded for the construction of Phase II of our Quad Cities Riverfront Campus. We look forward to watching the progress and celebrating a grand opening in Summer 2014," said WIU President Jack Thomas. "We greatly appreciate the continued support of our community partners to move the Riverfront Campus forward."
According to Joe Rives, vice president for Quad Cities and planning, the Riverfront Campus expansion allows WIU-QC to further its mission as a comprehensive public university for the region by serving more than 3,000 Quad Cities-area students. The $42 million Phase II project allows for the continued growth of the Quad Cities campus and will house academic programs in the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Human Services and Fine Arts and Communication. Phase I (Building One) on the Riverfront campus, which opened in January 2012, supports the College of Business and Technology, including the School of Engineering; academic and student services; and University administration.
The City of Moline is also revitalizing the area surrounding the WIU-QC Riverfront Campus into community and University-friendly development. The Quad Cities campus currently serves more than 1,300 students at its 60th Street campus in Moline and at the Riverfront Campus.
"We are truly excited about bringing all of our programs and services to one central area, and we are equally enthused to be a part of ReNew Moline's development of the riverfront area. To keep the momentum going, we will begin working this month with campus and community leaders on programming for Phase III," said Rives.
In 2003, a donation from Deere & Company of 20 acres of land on the Moline riverfront provided the impetus for an expanded WIU-QC campus. Planning began to build an additional campus on the riverfront to serve more students, and collaborative relationships were formed with the city of Moline, ReNew Moline and the Illinois Quad City Chamber of Commerce, among many others, to develop the riverfront into an educational and business mecca.
"This project benefits the Quad Cities and the entire state by creating good jobs and strengthening Illinois' world-class system of higher education," said Jim Underwood, executive director of the Capital Development Board. "Gov. Quinn and his entire administration are happy we could help make it happen."
According to Brewer, Western will again pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification.
"Much like the first building on the Riverfront campus, Phase II facilities will be sustainably constructed and operated. Green amenities will include geothermal heating and cooling, emphasis on use of daylight, native landscaping, green roof treatments, and an emphasis on energy efficiency. I look forward to working with Bush and Company in the coming months," Brewer added.

Taking Liberties
As we gear up for the fourth of July, it's nice to see bakeries celebrating the freedom our brave men and women in the armed forces have afforded them.
Namely, the freedom to unleash Wreckage of this caliber on the unsuspecting populace:
Since whistles don't usually say "Bang!", though, I guess I have to agree with Tara M. that this is a firecracker. Which makes about as much sense as a steam whistle saying "Bang!", come to think of it.
Shelley B., David K., Kelly B., did you notice that ALL of today's Wrecks are cupcake cakes?
NOTE: Thank you all for the many kind comments and e-mails yesterday. I'm in surgery today at 1PM EST, but should be back tweeting and snarking away by this evening. You've reminded me once again that I have the best readers any blogger could ever hope for, so thanks again.
UPDATE: The surgery went great! And y'all weren't kidding about the drugs...I almost wish I needed to take more, but I'm feeling surprisingly little pain. Your well-wishes and prayers were very much appreciated and felt, so thank you all again!

Annual Report 2005
Governor's Palace Refurbished
Folk Art Museum Relocating
Archaeological excavations in Liverpool, England, suggest that this teapot was made in that city by potter Philip Christian between 1765 and 1768. Christian and his competitors supplied Liverpool porcelain in this and other patterns to customers in 18th-century Williamsburg. Fragments of tea and coffee wares in the blue and white bird pattern have been recovered from locations as varied as the Governor's Palace, the Brickhouse Tavern, and the home of blacksmith James Anderson. The acquisition of this well-preserved teapot was funded by the Friends of Colonial Williamsburg Collections.
Curators and conservators spent much of 2005 undertaking the first major refurbishing of the Governor's Palace in 25 years. The Palace, previously set as it looked from 1768 to 1770 during bachelor governor Lord Botetourt's administration, shifted to 1771–1775 when Lord Dunmore and his family lived there. The most striking adjustments are in the front hall and stair passage where staff reworked displays of firearms and swords. Research and newly discovered documents informed the changes, which are intended to align with 2006 Historic Area programming focused on the Revolution.
In March, construction began within the former garden area of the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum for the new Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum. Samuel Anderson Architects, a New York City firm specializing in museum and library work, designed the facility. Construction is slated for completion in summer 2006. The building opens in late 2006 with a dozen new exhibitions drawn from America's oldest and most widely recognized folk art collection.
Staff mounted two exhibitions in the Wallace Museum to keep elements of the folk art collection on view. "Treasures from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum" featured paintings, quilts, fraktur, sculpture, painted tin wares, ceramics, and painted furniture. "Outside In: Folk Sculpture for the American Landscape" focused on weather vanes, cigar store figures, and shop signs. Also new, "Principles of Freedom" examined the lives of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It included selections from Colonial Williamsburg's Pat and Jerry Epstein American History Document Collection.
Steel girders form the skeleton of the new Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, the folk art collection's new home. The AARFAM is to reopen next to the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum late in 2006.
Small heirlooms have been added to Bassett Hall, the Williamsburg home of Abby Aldrich and John D. Rockefeller Jr. The accessories, largely personal care items, are a gift from David Rockefeller, the Rockefellers' sole surviving son. John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s shaving set is displayed on a glass shelf in the master bathroom. A black leather case, lined in purple satin and velvet, bears applied gilt metal initials "JDRJr." In addition, there are cylindrical gilt metal containers for shaving soap and a shaving brush, a gilt metal razor from the Gillette Razor Company of Boston and a Tiffany silver toothbrush holder—all engraved with Rockefeller's initials.
In the master bedroom on a dressing table are a clothes brush, a hair brush and matching combs, mounted in silver from Tiffany & Co. of New York. The brushes are engraved "AAR" for Abby Aldrich Rockefeller.

Yale University Art and Architecture Building
Commission brief: Part of the architectural patronage of Yale University, headed by A. Whitney Griswold, president of Yale from 1951 - 1963. Whitney made Yale a premiere architectural patron of the modern architecture movement, commissioning now-iconic buildings which include the Art Gallery by Louis Kahn, Morse and Stiles Colleges and Ingalls Rink by Eero Saarinen, the Beinecke Library by Gordon Bunshaft, the Kline science buildings and the epidemiology and public health building by Philip Johnson, and Rudolph's Greeley Forestry Laboratory and Married Student Housing.
Design brief: Walls are a rough textured concrete inside and out. There are 37 changes in level over 7 stories.
Building/construction: To form the rough walls, concrete was poured into corrugated forms and the rigid surfaces were broken with a hammer to expose the aggregate to weathering elements; "…Reflective micas, seashells, stones, and even branches of coral" comprised the aggregate."
Situated on the corner of two important streets in New Haven, the A+A anchors its site with its monumental slabs of corrugated concrete. The building is seven floors with 37 changes in level. There are two large open spaces, one serving as a gallery and meeting room on the main floor, the other housing the architecture studios on the fourth and fifth floors. Rudolph arranged the rooms around these open spaces in a pinwheel-like pattern. To give the walls a distinctive texture, Rudolph invented a new technique: workers poured concrete into ribbed forms, and then with hammers smashed the ribs to reveal the complex aggregate.
Name(s) of surrounding area/building(s): Yale University; Chapel Street is a Shopping/Dining/Residential street, York Street is lined primarily with Yale buildings from Chapel Street to Lock Street.
Visual relations: The A&A is on a corner lot, which was a main concern of Rudolph. It also lies across York Street from Louis Kahn's Yale Art Gallery which is "flat and glassy," to use Huxtable's words. The building also references the collegiate gothic of Yale through its heavy stone massing and towers, which might act as abstract spires.
To give the walls a distinctive texture, Rudolph invented a new technique: workers poured concrete into ribbed forms and then smashed the ribs to reveal the complex aggregate. The multiple changes in level are also a rather innovative approach to organizing interior space, not relying on monolithic floor slabs but embracing a dynamic internal plan.
The A&A was designed to hold a combined art and architecture curriculum, including graphic design and city planning. Previously, all of these were housed separately in the Yale Art Gallery, Weir Hall and Street Hall on Chapel Street. "It is the hope that the placing of these disciplines under one roof will help restore them to a sense of unity," explained Architectural Record magazine. But shortly after the building opened, artists complained that their studios were wholly inadequate, being too small and providing a glaring southern light instead of a glowing northern. This student unrest has proven to be the mythic arsonist of the A+A fire. As the Times put it in Rudolph's obituary, the students rejected the A+A as "a symbol of the University's antipathy toward creative life." As Branch writes, "the fire came on the heels of the closing of the city planning department, a division of the School of Art & Architecture that had become increasingly politicized. Says Johannes Knoops, who has interviewed numerous people about the fire, "I don't know who did it, but I certainly believe it was in response to the closing of the city planning department.'
Therefore, the A+A is a site of considerable social unrest of the 1960s, besides being a polemic about architecture. Here architecture was perceived as a symbol of the institutionalized status quo of Yale, and thusly suffered because of this controversial symbolism.
Paul Goldberger calls the A+A a "dynamic sculptural building," a "disciplined formal statement, free of the wild eccentricities of many sculpturally active buildings yet in the view of many critics possessing a drama that seemed, to many, to be almost a summary statement of modern architecture." So while this heavy concrete building seems to belie the lessons of "glassy" modernism, it actually achieves a fruitful dialogue with early modernism by embracing a certain monumental aesthetic. Although to many, it belied the functionalism of modernism, favoring a monumental statement over a truly functional university building. Canonical status: The A&A is one of the most controversial and important buildings built after World War II. Right before its inauguration, Ada Louise Huxtable of the Times called the A&A's rough concrete walls "3-D," in stark contrast to the "flat, glassy surfaces of the current American architectural look [modernism]." This was recognition of the way in which Rudolph's design was a departure from what had been the status quo of campus architecture up to this point. At the inauguration Huxtable reported, "For six months, the word has gone around that this is the architect's architecture at the highest level. Even on a campus rich in big-name architectural experiments, it stands out. It has set some kind of a record for being visited, photographed and discussed by the profession during construction. In a field torn by polemics, architects at opposite esthetic poles are united in praise" and predicted that the building "will set trends nationally and internationally. It will surely be one of the most influential buildings of this decade." Major architecture magazines in the U.S. and abroad featured the building prominently, and the American Institute of Architects gave it a First Honor Award. Thus the A+A was hailed as a groundbreaking work, a departure from the international "glassy modernism" towards a new "brutal" modernism.
Although the form of the building seems rather unique, Rudolph seems to be drawings on a number of architectural sources. As branch writes in his Yale Alumni piece on the A&A, "the earliest versions of the building were rational and regular, in keeping with Rudolph's functionalist training at Harvard. But as the design progressed, other influences began to come to the fore the heavy concrete "brutalism" of Le Corbusier, the Swiss-born modernist who had abandoned the International Style for a more expressionistic approach; and the spatial complexity of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright." Indeed, there is an obvious connection to Corbu's beton brut; Rudolph's concrete is certainly rough, enough to rip clothing fabric at times. But there is also the connection to Wright and the flowing internal spaces of this buildings, especially the Larkin Building in Buffalo. Paul Goldberger believes that the A&A was "Rudolph's attempt to add his own heroic statement to those of the modern masters who had come before him."
The Paul Rudolph archive is housed at the U.S. National Archives

'Van Halen Encyclopedia' Author Plans New Hardcover Edition
The 'Van Halen Encyclopedia' is a treasure trove of information on one of hard rock's most legendary bands. Heaven knows we've quoted from it more than a few times. Now, author C.J. Chilvers is seeking to release a new hardcover edition of the book — with your help.
Chilvers has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the new edition of the book, which may add as many as 30 pages to the already-massive 320 included on the most recent version. A $10 pledge gets you a pdf version of the new book, with $25 earning you a hardcover copy.
As for what motivated him to create a new edition, Chilvers tells us, "It's really about the amount of secrets that have been sent to me in the last decade. It's too much to keep to myself. Everyone seemed to love the design and feel of the first edition hardcover, so I wanted to bring back that level of quality. But books are much more expensive to produce now and thousands of people have the 1999 edition, so it's a matter of determining the level of interest out there."
All eras of the band, and all solo projects will be featured: "I've never played favorites with singers or side projects. I'm a guitar player, so I've always gathered information with a bias towards the music, not towards the politics of vocalists. You'll find exhaustive information on Dave, Sammy, Gary and every side project, no matter how brief."
That includes, of course, information on the band's new album, 'A Different Kind of Truth.' Chilvers' main goal seems to be to set the record straight about the band's history. "What always surprises me is the amount of misinformation that gets out there. Sometimes it's the band themselves — I've found a few mistakes — or maybe mis-remembered stories — from their latest video interviews — that don't line up with the facts I've gathered. But sometimes, it's just blatant, self-serving stories that contradict eyewitnesses from people who wish history had gone a different way (coughs) Gene Simmons (coughs)."

Lyricist: Blue Raspberry, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon ,RZA
Composer: Blue Raspberry, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon ,RZA
It's a mystery inside
Of how I'm gonna get mine
I'm thinking 'bout so many ways
Of how to conquer these rainy days
You sang beautifully just now
I sing for him, and he isn't here
It's going down man, word man, what's up black?
Niggas just fuckin' robbed my gate man
Fuckin'... I'mma murder somebody man
It's raining, he's changing
My man is going insane, insane
The war is on, yo
On rainy days I sit back and count ways on
How to get rich son, show and prove, ask my bitch
Stood up late nights, build with my a-alikes
We can pull a heist, snatch ice, or rock mics
But this rap shit, got me wanna clack back the latch
How it goes the only pesos made from scratch
But in due time, soon to get mine like Bugsy
Heavy on the wrist, Polo mock socks and rugbies
Old flicks remind me of Gucci's
Back in Union Square when little Maxmil, blast Pierre
That was Build Build, fast forward, ninety-four
Who got the bad base? Filthiest fiends scream for more
Bless me out of state, howdy Jake's, Starks is back
Niggas want work, 9 brought back off a g-pack
Coke rocks flood the co-ops living gossip
Them big lip niggas singing to cops need to box it
Stop it, the projects overflooded with slow leaks
The fiends get, new faces get wrapped in sheets
I gotta get mine, like my old Earth, bless the cheese line
Sipping on fine wine, the power of the blacks refined
(Raining) Divine
Waiting on these royalties takes too long
It's like waiting on babies, it makes me want to slay these
But that's ungodly, so yo God, pardon me
I need it real quick, the dough flow like penmanship
Meat heads get pistol-whipped, I blow spots like horse shit
So now talk shit nigga, what??
It's raining, he's changing
My man is going insane, insane
What brings rain hail snow and earthquakes
The beat breaks, cause all my niggas to break son
Styles is similar to criminals locked up
With gats, ghetto tabernacles is fucked up
I live once though, the mind stays infinite
Traveling to touch nine planets, in my midst
While I carry, to earn a decent salary
Soon get married, raise a family, but the plan'll be
Real great, to sit up in the loft, count stacks and max
And real cats cold watch my back
But listen to the Wu son, and maintain
It's all real, starving individuals kill
I puff what's only right, leave the poison alone
Projects, infested with rats cats and crack homes
Half of us'll try to make it, the other half'll try to take it
So many fake half real freedom-build
Born to science my alliance analyzes
Wild surprises, keeping my eyes wide to this
The unfortunate, laying in mountains counting
With jewelry on, can it be the next team house the horn
Chill dun, just for real ones, light the lye up
I hate to have to tie the next guy up
Pay attention to 1010 WINS, Wu blends
Now I'm steering you to truth, buckle up
Now who's a legend?
It's raining, he's changing (Word up dun)
My man is going insane, insane (Peace to Philly, VA, these days)
Word up y'all, word up
The sun moon and stars fly cars, word up y'all
No sunlight, more gun fights
I've lost him to the street life, street life
No cash flow, no more dough
He's someone I don't even know, someone I don't know
Rainy Dayz,
Getting through those rainy dayz
Getting through those rainy dayz
Getting through those rainy dayz
Getting through those rainy dayz
I lost him to the street life, the street life, whoa

Man, these posts sure are fun to write during four-game winning streaks. Lots of positives came out of today's win, but I'm going with Jason Pridie's first major league home run, a three-run homer that gave the Mets added cushion (which would eventually come in handy). I'm a bit of a sap when it comes to sentimental milestones and I was leaning toward choosing Pridie from the minute the ball cleared the wall. 27 years-old, he appeared in 973 minor league games (and 11 games for the Twins as a September call-up in 2008 & 09) before being called up on Friday. He collect his first major league hit yesterday and topped it today with his first homer*. Mike Mazzeo of ESPN NY caught up with Pridie after the game and did a really nice job describing his reaction.
Pridie's not likely to be with the club much longer (I can't see him beating out Willie Harris and Scott Hairston when Angel Pagan returns from the disabled list), so it's nice to see him make the most of his time here. Hopefully he shows enough to land a job with another team (if he chooses not to return to the Bisons when he's ultimately designated for assignment) but if not, he's at least notched some important career milestones and made a few good memories for himself.
*If the useless old stat of "Game Winning RBI" was still official, Pridie would have earned one today.

Set adrift in its own dreamy archipelago in the balmy Gulf Stream, this rich little oasis of pink-sand beaches and sparkling blue waters is simultaneously slightly British, slightly American, and very Bermudian. Whether you've come to unwind on Elbow Beach, shop among the pretty pastels and whites of historic Hamilton, or discover 400 years of history at Fort St. Catherine in St. George, you'll discover a pleasant mix of formal British culture dressed in a pair of Bermuda shorts.
Things to Do
Sit by the bustling waterfront and take in the capital scene in Hamilton or step back in time in St. George. Take a morning swim with the kids at sheltered Tobacco Bay or a sunset dip at Elbow Beach. The clear waters and starched white coves of Warwick Parish are made for scuba diving and snorkeling. Marvel at the subterranean beauty of Crystal Caves. Away from the beach, discover the Verdmont Historic House Museum, with its period furnishings, or walk along the Bermuda Railway Trail for a closer look at the island's exotic wildlife.
All sorts of shops are clustered along Front Street in Hamilton. Under the atrium in The Emporium, you can browse boutiques and jewelry stores, or stroll the Royal Naval Dockyard area on Ireland Island for crafts and island pottery. You can watch local artisans at work at the Bermuda Arts Centre.
Nightlife & Entertainment
Many of Bermuda's bars and clubs hug the busy waterfront at Front Street in Hamilton, where Victorian-era balconies offer Atlantic views. The nightlife scene continues in the streets leading uphill from the harbor. Many hotels host steel-drum or calypso bands, or you can head to LV's Piano Jazz Lounge, where live jazz is performed nightly. The little port of St. George and adjoining St. David's Island are loaded with pubs. Enjoy a pint at White Horse Tavern, the oldest pub in St. George.
Restaurants & Dining
Bermuda embraces a wide swath of American and European cuisines, but fresh seafood is still the default -- and best -- choice. Savor spiny lobster and wahoo steak in the elegant dining rooms of Sandys Parish or sink your teeth into shark hash and Bermudian rockfish in the restaurants along Hamilton's Front Street. For a cool treat, try the ice cream at island favorite Bailey's Ice Cream & Food D'Lites Restaurant in Hamilton Parish.

Men are usually overlooked on the red carpet, but not this year.
Pharrell Williams' shorts weren't the only head turners on the long walk to the Dolby Theatre. Many leading men rocked the red carpet in white tuxedo jackets, including Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.
Leto came in an old-school shawl collar tuxedo jacket paired with a burgundy bow tie.
"I never really ever wear suits so it's a fun opportunity to wear an old school classic," he told Ryan Seacrest who wore a similar look by Burberry.
Shawl collars are expected to be a big trend for men this season, says celebrity stylist Jeanne Yang who partnered with Gillette for the Oscars.

Starting Tonight! Hobo With A Shotgun with Director Q&A
When Shawn Lewis of Rotten Cotton/Black Devil Doll fame told me I had to see Hobo With A Shotgun, I knew that I was in for the real deal and not some "Grindhouse" cash-in, like so many seem to be trying to do lately. Shawn is a no BS kinda guy, which you could tell by looking at Rotten Cotton's hate-mail responses. Anyway, the man was 100% right and I loved every blood-soaked minute of it.
Anyone who is remotely interested probably knows the amazing story behind director Jason Eisener's success… Which I will not get into cause you can read it all in the newest issue of Rue Morgue available right here at Forbidden Planet. (shameless!)
What I will tell you is to clear your schedule this weekend for a double dose of exploitation madness, cause Hobo With A Shotgun is coming to The Village East Cinema. The director will be in attendance, and there will be special Q&A's at each midnight screening moderated by respected genre personalities Jeff Lieberman (Friday) and William Lustig (Saturday). There is also a Hobo costume contest, so throw on your worst and make a night of it!

We haven't seen it anywhere else yet, but the New York Times is reporting that CBS will renew bubble show Blue Bloods for a second season. The story also says CBS will bring back Mike & Molly and Hawaii Five-0 for second seasons, but their renewals had been a foregone conclusion for months.
CBS, which presents on Wednesday, will bring back "Mike and Molly," "Hawaii Five-0" and "Blue Bloods" from this season.
Many reports we saw suggested Blue Bloods was a lock, but this is the first thing I'd seen that implied a decision had been made. The article is about how weak the 2010-11 season was for new shows. There is no mention of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior in the article.

Talk:Dubai based Millennium Finance Corporation investment bank: the inside story, Oct 2009
From WikiLeaks
Fraud case mentioned against Zana Masle
Actually I have read the article about Millennium and can confirm most of the mentioned issues and problems there. But I was shocked to read about myself. The situation about me leaving the company was shown totally wrongly and without all details. I was restructured from my work as well as my whole team because certain people in the company felt threatend by me as I had started reviewing employees files and CVs and figured out that some of those have been faked and not true. I am working as professional HR person since more than 18 years and had never any issue with any company or legal/compliance requirements. Before people are using your page to post all kind of things on it they should keep in mind that without all knowledge and details they might be destroying people careers and future, and about most of employees within Millennium there could be a story written, but being out of this company should be their major goal.

The Australian dollar has rebounded a quarter of a US cent after falling to its lowest level in almost three months as international markets reacted to weaker-than-expected domestic retail figures.
At 0700 AEDT on Thursday, the currency was trading at 103.21 US cents, down from 103.56 cents on Wednesday afternoon.
The Australian dollar moved as low as 102.98 US cents overnight on Wednesday - its lowest point since November 16.
Westpac New Zealand senior market strategist Imre Speizer said Wednesday's release of weaker-than-expected retail trade figures continued to weigh on the Australian dollar overnight.
Retail trade fell 0.2 per cent in December, Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday, which was below market expectations of a 0.3 per cent rise.
"The retail figures caused the Australian dollar to be sold off during the local session and that was extended during the London session," he said.
Mr Speizer said negative news out of Europe, including ratings agency Fitch's announcement it had cut the outlook on the Netherlands AAA credit rating to negative.
He said the key local driver for the currency would be the release of official domestic employment figures for January.
But Mr Speizer said the market reaction to the Australian figures could be complicated, or exacerbated, by the release of New Zealand employment figures at 0845 AEDT.
"If you get a major surprise in one and not in the other that could really distort things."

Based on results from his recent study, the Energy Institute's John DeCicco has authored an article for Yale's Environment 360 blog. This thought-provoking piece opens:
Every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan has backed programs to develop alternative transportation fuels. But there are better ways to foster energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions than using subsidies and mandates to promote politically favored fuels.

Kenny Chesney Releases Preview of New Song 'American Kids'
Kenny Chesney fans got the best Monday morning wake up call ever today. The singer dropped a clip of his new single on YouTube, sharing that 'American Kids' will be revealed in full on June 20.
The preview shows an uptempo party song, similar to the singer's best concert hits. Chesney got to help paint an 'American Kids' tour bus, which he and a group of carefree souls enjoy riding across the desert. It's not clear if the clip comes from an upcoming music video or if Chesney simply put the 30 second teaser together just to tease.
Last week Chesney tweeted "9.30.14," leading many to speculate that is the date his next album will be released. The assumption seems sound as Sept. 30 is a Tuesday (when albums are released) and fall is typically when the biggest albums drop. He's taken the summer off in terms of touring, so the album should get his full attention.
The new album will be his first since 'Life on a Rock' was released in April 2013.

EU Commission VP Neelie Kroes Explains Why Copyright Is Broken: It Was Made In An Age Of Gatekeepers
from the times-have-changed deptWhile the EU Commission has been much more copyright maximalist at times (it was the major driver behind ACTA in Europe), some on the Commission have been pushing back on such views for a while. Neelie Kroes, who is VP of the EU Commission and in charge of "the digital agenda," has been speaking out on these issues for a while. Last year, she pointed out that new business models, rather than greater enforcement was the right path forward. She's also spoken out against kicking people offline and in favor of open innovation and creation.
She's now given another talk on copyright issues, in which she notes that the world has changed a great deal in the last 14 years since Europe last reviewed proposals to update its Copyright Directive. While many maximalists would say the same thing and focus on the struggles of particular subsector -- the record labels -- Kroes properly notes that the real change (which is, in part, why the labels have struggled) is that the world has shifted from one in which gatekeepers control the means of production and distribution, into one where everyone can create and distribute works:
The last major EU copyright instrument, the Copyright Directive, was adopted in 2001. The Commission proposals it was based on date back to 1998.From there, she notes that copyright may be holding back the real policy issues that they should be focused on -- which isn't just about setting up a system for artists to earn money, but also to "stimulate creativity and innovation, improve consumer choice, promote our cultural heritage and help the sector drive economic growth." But, with copyright designed for a gatekeeper society, and focused solely on a system for certain artists to get paid, you have a broken system. As Kroes points out "you have to look at how [copyright] fits into the real world" and she notes that it's clearly lacking. Everywhere you look, copyright seems to be getting in the way of the important policy issues she mentioned, rather than helping them along:
Let's remind ourselves what's happened since then.
In 1998, Mark Zuckerberg was 14. Today, almost one billion people around the world actively use Facebook, to share photos, videos, and ideas.
In 1998, YouTube didn't exist. Today, one hour of video is uploaded every second.
In 1998, most people listened to music on the radio, CD or tape. Now digital downloads often overtake conventional sales. New technologies allow downloading or streaming; easily, instantly, wherever you are. Not just to passively listen, but to interact and give feedback, to creators and friends.
But changes are not limited to the content business, they affect all sectors. Huge changes have taken place in the research area. Today, new scientific discoveries don't just come from new experiments, new drugs, new clinical trials: in fact, now, we can get new results by manipulating existing data. Data and text-mining techniques now lie behind a huge field of research, like human genome projects, potentially life-saving. They could hold the key to the next medical breakthrough, if only we freed them from their current legal tangle. Research activities are not clearly exempted from the copyright rules and there are many different rules in the 27 member states.
And here's the most important change since 1998. Back then, creation and distribution were in the hands of the few. Now they are in the hands of everyone: democratising innovation, empowering people to generate and exchange ideas, supporting and stimulating huge creativity.
Well for one thing, you often find that online licensing restrictions make it impossible to buy music legally. Sometimes, for example, you can't buy an MP3 across an EU border.It seems clear that Kroes -- like many of us -- recognizes the unfortunate answer today is "no, copyright does not help those things, it makes it harder for individuals to create content and it's not the best way to boost creativity and innovation." This is why we're seeing countries finally start to look at true copyright reform, rather than just doubling down on a broken system.
We have already made a proposal on orphan works and recently one on collective rights management, to make multi-territorial licensing easier. The licensing proposal is a good step forward to make it easier to legally access the music you love, especially across borders. I hope legislators are able to agree it quickly. But this tackles only one aspect of the problem.
Because there are other problems too beyond licensing or orphan works. That's why the June 'Compact for Growth and Jobs' makes clear we need to focus also on substantive copyright reform.
And quite right too. For example, I ask myself, are current copyright rules favourable to potentially life-saving scientific research or do they stand in its way?
Do they make it easier or harder for people to upload and distribute their own, new creative content? And is that the best way to boost creativity and innovation?

The SpotCam HD is more than up to the task of providing a live feed into your home.
This Logitech solution transforms any room into a videoconferencing suite, but it doesn't come cheap.

Mini Review The Logitech Webcam C930e is an excellent webcam for video conferencing.
The HP Webcam HD 5210 isn't a minor purchase, sitting at the higher price end of the webcam market, but are its images really HD?
What is the point of the Karotz Smart Rabbit, the internet-connected robotic rabbit? It's a question that we've asked ourselves a number of times during our time with this gadget.

A Howl for Wolff
On a day where it looked as if Masahiro Tanaka's undefeated win streak dating back to his days last year in Japan was coming to an end, everything came together for the Yankees and the streak was kept alive. The combination of a Mark Teixeira home run, more clutch hitting from Jacoby Ellsbury, a go-ahead homer off the bat of Kelly Johnson, and a late game scoring barrage gave the Yankees a 9-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
No, Tanaka didn't get "Brock Lesnar'd" today, if you will; his streak remains intact as he's a perfect 4-0 this season – today being a prime example of how, even when things aren't exactly going his way, he still wins. The young man from Japan battled through the first four innings or so, letting up homers to Desmond Jennings and Wil Myers, until he settled down and finished up like a stud.
Today's win not only kept Tanaka's unblemished record breathing, it also snapped a 3-game Yankee losing skid, and put the Bombers back in first place in the AL East after being a half game out to Baltimore following a brutal 10-5, 14 inning loss to TB Friday night.
In the heart of the losing schnide, though, the Yankees honored a man who broke a record – but not a record that could be smashed on the ball field.
Bob Wolff, famed broadcaster who called Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series among countless other big time sporting events, broke the record for longest career as a broadcaster. The Guinness Book of World Records gave him the nod, as he's been calling games from behind the mic for the better part of 74 and a half years.
At 93 Wolff is still at it, working for News 12 Long Island.
In this writer's opinion, it couldn't have happened to a better person.
I had the opportunity to interview Wolff's son Rick in 2009. Rick was the baseball coach at my college (Mercy, NY) from 1978-85, and a minor league ballplayer turned author and radio personality. Rick talked a lot about his dad's work and what type of man he is in the interview I conducted, saying,
"My dad was a well-respected broadcaster. He called Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series in 1956, and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995.
"My dad has always been my biggest fan. He is still active and calling baseball games, and he always stood by me. I remember when I coached at Mercy, he used to come watch the team play. He spent a lot of windy afternoons on the Hudson watching my team." (His team being the Flyers, now known to the Mercy College student body as the Mavericks).
It took awhile, but I was actually able to dig up the hard copy of that article I wrote on Rick.
I also have to credit Rick for the inception of this blog; he was the individual who suggested I start Yankee Yapping.
After the Yankees lost 4-2 to Robinson Cano and the Seattle Mariners Thursday night, Wolff spoke to the press at Yankee Stadium, and without really giving away the secret of his success, mentioned that he – when calling a game – always tried to make it interesting. Instead of bombarding everyone to death with stats constantly, he threw in quips and witticisms to keep the audience engaged. Important to do, in a profession that requires so much attention from so many different people.
Using that method set Wolff apart from the pack.
Since everything sports-related in terms of information is basically relayed through Twitter in this day and age of social media, I suppose it's important to maintain the attention of your audience – your followers – through funny puns, in between the giving of scores and statistics.
I try to be that way, while being as professional as possible. Of course, the whole job of a sports journalist is to provide information on what happened (or is happening) in a game, along with any extra info and analysis. Yet, as Wolff stated, it's important to keep it fun.
Because after all, aren't sports supposed to be fun to watch?

Human Bones Found in California Backyard Were Bought on eBay
(PASADENA, Calif.) -- What was supposed to be a response to a call about a trespasser in Pasadena, Calif., took an unusual twist when police found an altar with human bones in a backyard, and now they are investigating how they were sold on eBay.
Pasadena police responded to the 800 block of North Oakland Avenue on Sunday after a woman living in the home reported an individual trespassing on her property.
"The officers went there on a whole different call. When they checked the area there was a makeshift altar that included some bones," Lt. Terysa Rojas with the Pasadena Police Department Crimes Against Person's division told ABC News. "The coroner determined them to be human bones."
According to Rojas, the woman cooperated with police and was interviewed while the bones were turned over to the coroner's office.
Investigators say the altar serves a religious purpose for the woman living in the home, more specifically a West African and Caribbean religion known as Santeria. However, throughout the investigation over the past couple of days, police learned the woman ordered the bones on eBay.
"There are some sites where you can order human bones or skulls through eBay," Rojas said. "I don't know where they get them or how they get to put them on eBay. That's part of our investigation."
Police say there were not only human bones, but also those of animal heads along with burned incense and candles. While the investigation is still preliminary, Rojas said there is nothing the woman can be charged with due to the religious purpose.

Adelaide pair finish Boston Marathon minutes before explosions
A cold day in Boston made Adelaide personal trainer Anna Liptak and Chantel Peacock push their pace through the marathon, a decision that had them cross the finish line 10 minutes before the explosions.

Anna told 891 Breakfast she finished five minutes before her racing partner, and stood waiting at the finish line.
"Usually you get moved on and we would have lost each other and we would have been right where it actually happened."
The pair had returned to their hotel, hoping to have massages, when news of the bombings broke.
"Someone came up the lift, quite hysterical, saying 'there's been explosions, there's been an explosions' and I didn't realise the extent of what she was saying until Chantel said 'we have to stay back in the hotel'."
Anna said the entire city had put on an amazing welcome for the competitors.
"We were privileged to be here and it is really sad that it has ended like this."
Chantel said the pair had decided to walk back to their hotel room, due to the cold weather.
The mother of three said her husband had rebooked their departures to earlier flights.
"Right now I just want to get home and I don't think I want to leave Australian soil."
Robert De Castella talks to 891 Breakfast from Boston Marathon
In Boston to lead a group of Indigenous runners through the Boston Marathon, Australian marathon champion Robert De Castella was in the race media centre when the explosions were detonated.
"[We] felt and heard the explosions," Robert said.
He said all runners that were part of his program were safe and accounted for, with Darwin runner Emma Cameron at the 40 kilometre mark when the two explosions went off.
"We were very concerned, but we were following her on the tracking system and knew she was a long way from the finish.
"Talking to Emma, she was obviously a little upset, but she said all of the other runners there looked after her and everyone came together to support each other," Robert said.
"It's just a tragedy that this sort of thing happens in an event that brings together people to do something wonderful."
