5 New Bands to Check Out The Remaining Summer
Posted by Rachel Garman on 07/20 at 06:01 PM
Summer has a special relationship with music. Often times we find ourselves hearing a song and being immediately taken back to a summer moment from long ago. Music has a way of immortalizing those seemingly endless summer days that have a tendency to pass by in the blink of an eye. So, it only seems fitting that summer should be a time filled with plenty of great anthems. I've compiled a list of 5 relatively unknown bands and tracks that seem perfect as soundtracks to the remaining summer days, and upcoming transition to fall.
1. Ko Ko
Ko Ko is based in Los Angeles, California, and was formed in January 2012 by brothers Ryan and Taylor Lawhorn. Although Ko Ko has only released three tracks thus far, the small Float-EP sure packs a punch. "Float" is one of those rare tracks with an effortless quality about it. The combination of whistling and harmonies seems to evoke the floating sense that the track attempts to encapsulate. The other two tracks, "Intermission" and "So Strange" also carry the sense that these songs are meant to play under the Californian sun. While the three-track EP certainly suits the summer months, the lyrics hint at deeper reflections rather than only catchy summer anthems. "So Strange" reflects on the idea that "wide open space can be so cruel," as the lead singer wonders "when did I shave my head to fit in?" Besides making songs that are perfect for a car ride to the beach, Ko Ko creates lyrics that are sure to resonate with listeners even during the winter months.
2. King Charles
King Charles is the moniker of Charles Costa, a musician out of London, England. Despite the title, the only royal things about Costa are his massive beehive/dreadlock nest of hair, and the catchy music he creates. King Charles' debut album, Loveblood, was released on May 8, 2012, and has since risen to 36 on the UK charts. Costa has a way of creating poppy Rastafarian-like music, which is reminiscent of Vampire Weekend. "Love Lust" is a catchy track that has Costa expressing his adoration for another with his unique and witty lyrics such as, "for the sun on my skin as the morning begins, I'd die in the dark just to feel your skin on my skin." "Lady Percy" is another catchy track with lyrics such as "if you'd agree to be my love, I'd build you a world to fit like a glove." The hook is sure to remain in your head for days, and Loveblood will officially make you a follower of the King.
Lady Percy
The Neighbourhood, fronted by Jesse James Rutherford, is based in California and has released one official EP thus far. The I'm Sorry…EP was released on May 7,2012, and it contains five tracks that are sure to win over any listener. One of the great aspects of The Neighbourhood is its ability to produce tracks that span multiple genres, whether it be hip-hop, alternative, or pop. Rutherford's soulful voice on tracks like "Baby Come Home" evokes a somber feeling that echoes throughout. "Wires" has a hip-hop beat to it and a hauntingly dark hook that creates intrigue. Surprisingly, The Neighbourhood chose not only to release the EP on iTunes, but also as a free download on their website. Although the decision may appear unwise from a financial standpoint, the poignant and diverse sound of The Neighbourhood is something well-worth paying for.
Laurel Collective is a UK band that is somewhat of an enigma. Led by front-men Martin Sakutu and Bob Tollast, the band creates intelligent and slightly humorous music that can be loosely defined as "electro-pop." Laurel Collective released their first album, Feel Good Hits of a Nuclear Winter in 2008, and on May 28, 2012 the band released Heartbeat Underground. The latter brought forth such tracks as "They Hate Me" and "Barnacles." "They Hate Me" is a witty sing-along that pairs slightly pessimistic lyrics with an upbeat rhythm and a catchy chorus. The humor in this kind of pairing is something that can be heard in many of Laurel Collective's songs, and it makes for a surprisingly enjoyable experience. "Barnacles" has a background of hand-clapping and a head-nodding bass beat. With many of Laurel Collective's songs, the music and choruses are so catchy that the nuances of the lyrics can escape the listener during most of the song. Much like the lyrics of "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People, Laurel Collective offers so much more than just the instant gratification of a memorable hook.
They Hate Me
5. Snakadaktal
Snakadaktal is a young band from Australia that is slowly gaining international attention. Fronted by Phoebe Cockburn and Sean Kelly, the quintet draws comparisons to a slightly more "poppy" version of The xx. Snakadaktal released the Snakadaktal-EP in November 2011, and the band released a new single entitled "Dance Bear" on June 13, 2012. "Chimera," off the EP, has a low-fi and relaxed quality to it that makes it seem appropriate for relaxing on the beach. "Air" is another track that shares this kind of tranquil tone. "Air" is a track with melancholy and contemplative lyrics that sing remorse for a love that was "fatally made." As the singers reflect on their hopeless relationship, they come to realize that it was doomed from the start. Although "Air" is the least cheerful of tracks on this list, its melodies and harmonies are reminiscent of the gentle tug of the waves, softly rocking the listener back and forth into a relaxed state of mind. "Air" represents the ending of a relationship, much like the end of summer that we all have to face eventually.

Editor's Note: Throughout the off-season, DallasCowboys.com staff writers will take a closer look at the roster, analyzing players' impact last season and how each fits into the team's 2014 plans. Today's Roster Rundown entry features linebacker
Name: Justin Durant
Position: Linebacker
Height/Weight: 6-1 / 228
Experience: 7 seasons
College: Hampton
Key stat: Durant was off to his best game statistically against the Saints, with seven tackles and a pass deflection before going down with a hamstring injury that would come back to haunt him again at the end of the season.
Contract Status: Signed through 2014
2013 Impact: When you look at traits for linebackers, the most important one in my book, is how much are they around the ball? I think you can say that about Justin Durant in that he is one of those linebacker that is always around the ball and in on tackles. Before he arrived in Dallas, you could look at his work in Detroit and realize that he is that type of player. I really did like the fit of Durant as that Sam linebacker in this scheme and I felt like he did a nice job of playing in it. There was a knock on Durant with his ability to play as a three down linebacker, while he was in Detroit and that wasn't the case at all here. There was the Washington and Philadelphia games where I thought he did a nice job while he was on the field in providing pressure off the edge. In the New Orleans game before he got hurt, he was really the only defensive player that was playing well both against the run and pass. When he returned from that hamstring injury against the Saints, he was well on his way to having another outstanding game against the Packers and right before half, he goes down again. What I remember about that game was when he went out, the Packers had better success running the ball with Eddie Lacy which brought them back into the game.
Where He Fits:I feel like there is some value to Justin Durant's game going forward but this front office might not feel the same way. The consideration that they are going to have to look at is the development of
Writers' Analysis:
Rowan Kavner – The hamstring plague that scurried through the Cowboys roster in 2013 eliminated the end of Justin Durant's first season in Dallas. Durant was slated to start as the strong side linebacker, which he did, but groin and hamstring injuries limited him to just 10 games and a career-low 30 total tackles. The linebacker showed flashes of why the Cowboys brought him in to Dallas, but the leg injuries sidelined him before he could build on those performances. He returned from a hamstring injury only to reinjure it and go on injured reserve in Week 16. The Cowboys signed Durant last offseason to a two-year deal, and if he comes back for his second year he will compete once again to start at the strong side spot. He also showed he's capable of shifting inside to play middle linebacker, if need be. But the time Durant had off gave Kyle Wilber and DeVonte Holloman more action on the strong side, and Durant will be in for more of a competition than he had last preseason to earn the starting spot.

Long before the High Line was a forgone conclusion, Friends of the High Line staff learned a valuable lesson about the power of programming from our very first landlords. In 2002, Josh David and Robert Hammond opened the first Friends of the High Line offices in the Hudson Guild. Offering a combination of cultural and educational programming and social services, the Guild is a vital hub for local residents, and builds lasting relationships throughout their lives.
Over the years, the Guild has served as a teacher and partner in responsive programming that welcomes local residents and serves their needs and interests. In 2006, Friends of the High Line's former Special Projects Manager, Meredith Taylor, created our first after-school program with children from the Guild. In 2009, former Director of Public Programs, Education & Community Engagement, Danya Sherman, worked with the Guild to hire teens from their PowerUP program as our first Youth Corps staff. And in 2010, Danya's collaboration with Guild staff led to the creation of ¡Arriba!, a live Latin music night that has attracted more than 6,500 people over the last four years.
We surveyed community members living near the High Line last year, and many teens expressed interest in attending film screenings at the park. So this year, we've recruited local teens to help us curate and coordinate an entire series of free summer movies.
The series is called High Line Teen Picks, and it begins on Thursday, August 2 with an audience choice. Follow us after the jump to help us decide which movie – Step Up or The Notebook – should kick off the series.

Yoga During Pregnancy: Jessica Biel Does It (in New Year's Eve)—Would You?
Written on December 7, 2011 at 10:57 am , by Karla Walsh
The holidays are sure a fun time to head to the cinema. Whether you prefer lighthearted family fare or awards show bait, it's one of the best times of the year to take in a flick.
FITNESS was lucky enough to attend an advanced screening of the star-studded film New Year's Eve last night, and besides being dazzled by the sheer number of A-listers in each scene, we were entertained by Jessica Biel's antics as a soon-to-be mom. During one scene, she practices an amazingly graceful yoga headstand—while pregnant!
In our September issue, we reported that expectant moms often are able to achieve strength gains moderate-intensity resistance training routines (skipping on-your-back moves). But what about yoga? We turned to one of our advisory board members to learn more about om-ing while expecting.
"One recent study showed that yoga reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which, in turn, should lower the chance of premature birth," says Michele Olson, Ph.D, professor of exercise science at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama.
A couple other words to the wise from Olson:
- "'Gentle' yoga is often practiced by pregnancy women. Hot yoga is out, though, because of the extreme heat. So are any serious seated flexion moves, like crunches or sit-up exercises, after about three months or when the abdomen is larger." (This is true for yoga or any workout—skip the on-your-back moves while preggers.)
- "Joints are more lax during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts, so pregnant women need to be careful not to over-stretch in yoga or any other activity." *
So ladies who have or have had a baby on board, was exercise on your agenda during the nine months? If so, what was most comfortable and beneficial for you?
*Note: Pregnant women should always check with their doctors before starting any new fitness routines.
For those of you not expecting, you can still in shape like the New Year's Eve stars do when not on camera:
- How Jessica Biel Stays Fit
- Hilary Swank's Arm and Shoulder Exercises
- Halle Berry's Butt and Lower Body Workout
A few last words of advice related to the movie: Stick around for the closing credits. You won't be sorry!

Rhode Island and Massachusetts State Police say they are looking for a suspect who claimed there was a bomb on two Peter Pan buses that would go off if the bus reached speeds below 50 miles per hour. The person was clearly motivated by the movie "Speed" which is based on the same premise. Unlike in the movie, this threat was a hoax.
The threats were phoned into the Peter Pan Call Center on Saturday morning and referenced two buses leaving from Providence.
The buses were stopped by State Police and no explosives where located on the vehicles. One bus was stopped in Exeter, RI and another in Chicopee, Mass.
The suspect could face criminal charges and may be liable to pay for the police response to the incident.
Police say it is possible that the prankster used a recording from the movie to make the threat however it is unclear if that is the case.

The Dipsea Race
OK, I've done a lot of rambling about totally random stuff lately, so for this post I'm sticking 100% to running, in an effort to equalize things a bit. Well, let's make that 99% running...have I mentioned that there's a spelling bee this week? Less than 48 hours away now. Just thought I'd remind you. Now on with the post...
Every year on the second Sunday in June, the world-famous Dipsea 7.1M trail race (see race schedule link at right) is run through the hills of Marin County, from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach.
Each of the last 8 years, I've been there, too. And in less than two weeks, I'll be there again.
The Dipsea is truly a legendary race, held in almost religious regard amongst Bay Area trail runners. It is the second oldest footrace in the country (behind only the Boston Marathon), and this June will mark the 96th running. The motto of the Dipsea is "The Greatest Race", and it is definitely the most exciting event most people will ever run.
This race is not for the faint of heart. Although only slightly longer than a 10K, more than 75% of the race is on challenging single-track trail or fire roads. The course profile is simple: climb 650 feet, immediately descend 500', climb another 1360', then race downhill through the forest until you reach sea level at the beach.
It all starts in the picturesque town square of Mill Valley, but immediately turns nasty as runners ascend 670 stairs, the height equivalent of a fifty-story building, in order to reach the start of the trail. They cross Panoramic Highway, descend into Muir Woods National Monument, then start the second climb up and over Mount Tamalpais. The long final downhill includes railroad-tie stairs, river crossings, and jumping over an unmarked fencepost about ½ mile from the finish.
Different stretches of the course have distinctively intimidating names such as Cardiac, Steep Ravine, The Swoop, Insult Hill, and Dynamite. The most ominous name of all comes relatively early in the race. At a fork in the trail about 1.75 miles into the race, a sign is posted: one arrow on the sign points to a trail marked "Suicide", and the other arrow says "safer". As the race brochure will tell you, Suicide is the traditional racer's route.
The trail becomes crowded in many places, and hot weather causes dusty conditions which limit visibility and make footing very treacherous. Passing becomes dangerous on the long narrow stretches, especially if a competitor doesn't want to cede the trail. In these situations, the race turns into a full-contact sport, and it's not unusual to see people knocked to the ground. A good deal of time is also spent jumping over fallen runners who have tripped on precarious roots and rocks, or slipped on the steep slopes. Some runners even start the race wearing protective equipment that may become necessary deep in the forest.
The race is unique for several reasons. Foremost is its handicap-start system, which gives head start minutes based on gender and age. Thus, the oldest women and youngest kids leave first. Each minute thereafter, the other runners leave in groups according to their assigned handicap. By the time the 20- to 30-year-old men leave, the first runners have more than a 20-minute head start.
The handicap system streamlines the amount of runners on the single-track at any one time. It also means that younger, faster runners are constantly passing all those who started ahead of them. (For a sense of what this looks like, check out this photo of me from last year's race. For this one hour each year, I feel absloutely no shame about barging past old men or young girls as I'm storming through the trail. Don't hate the player, hate the game.)
The first person to cross the finish line wins, and the only thing that matters is overall place; no age group or gender awards are given. The assigned handicap times are adjusted periodically to make the race more competitive. Typically the first five finishers include a combination of high-school runners, top 50- or 60-year-old age-groupers, or extremely fast open runners.
If you finish in the top 100 your place will be on your bib number the following year. The first 35 finishers are awarded a black shirt numbered with their overall finishing place. These shirts are coveted status symbols in Marin County, and are the most prized possession of any runner's collection- far more valuable than any PR or age group award.
Another unique aspect of the race is the "open course" system. Basically, once you leave Mill Valley, you're free to take any shortcuts through the forest that you know about. This provides a huge potential advantage to Marin County runners who frequently train on the Dipsea trail and explore various options to shave a few seconds wherever possible.
There are several places where the trail splits into branches, which reconnect at a later point. There is strategy involved with taking a longer, wider route instead of a more direct single-track which may be crowded.
The consensus "best route" is marked, but racers are always dashing off through the woods at unmarked areas. It's risky to follow someone off the course, because there's no positive way of knowing if a "shortcut" is actually a faster route, and you both may end up getting lost or injured.
The race started as a 2-person contest in 1904, then grew into an invitational event, and eventually became open to the public. Entry into the race is somewhat complicated and intentionally favors Marin County runners. In order to limit damage to the trail, the race is limited to less than 1500 runners, although about 4000 apply. However, with persistence (and a good bribe- I'm not kidding), it is possible to obtain an entry.
I love this race and fear it in almost equal amounts. Through the years, it has come to occupy a special place in my heart. The Dipsea will be on my mind a lot over the next two weeks, and I'll write a couple more posts about it as race day approaches.

Coach Jimmy applies the same dedication and thoughtfulness to your training plan that he applied to his own training plan during his 20 years as one of the world's top professional triathletes. Balance was a key to Coach Jimmy's long term success and now, as a husband and father of two children, you can be sure that your program will integrate your specific needs – whether you're a competitive triathlete or first timer.
I have small hands and find that many rubber grips for mtb handlebars are too thick - especially when I'm wearing gloves. I also find them to be very slippery in rainy or muggy (sweaty) conditions. Therefore, I use regular bar tape (cork or micro-fiber) instead. I wrap from the inside of the bar (nearest the stem) to the outside of the bar. The resulting smaller diameter suits my small hands better, and I find the grip much better, with or without gloves, when it's raining or I'm very sweaty. To each his own, but give bar-tape a try and judge for yourself.

Scarleteen is a vital queer and trans positive sexual health resource. Their staff do an amazing job of creating really comprehensive and helpful articles on literally every sexual topic you can imagine. They also provide live chats, advice columns, moderated discussion forums, and SMS-based peer support. This site has helped me on countless occasions, and I refer at-risk queer and trans kids to this site every single day.
Scarleteen is invaluable.
And Scarleteen needs your help.
During their annual donation drive this year, the site was only able to raise $1,500. Only fifty people out of Scarleteen's 350,000 unique monthly visitors contributed to the fundraising drive.
This means that unless Scarleteen sees a stable, sustained, 50% increase in donations, the site will essentially be forced to go dark on May 1. No more new content, no more advice columns, no more forums, no more live chat, no more SMS support.
This is devastating.
If Scarleteen goes dark, millions of young people, vulnerable queer and trans teens among them, will lose access to essential, fundamental sexual health resources. We cannot let this happen.
Please, please, please donate to Scarleteen. Consider making a recurring monthly contribution if you feel that this is within your means. Even $5 or $10 a month will go a long way to helping this very, very deserving organization.
And whether or not you're able to donate at this time, please signal boost this and spread the word. Scarleteen does incredible, very necessary work, and they need our help.

(FOX 11 / CNS) A Los Angeles Unified elementary school teacher suspected of stabbing his estranged wife to death at a West Hills home where she had taken refuge was captured in San Bernardino County today, police said.
Michael Rodney Kane, 46, is accused of going to a home in the 7100 block of Deveron Ridge Road around 8 a.m. Saturday, wounding a friend who tried to protect Michelle Kane, then chasing her outside and stabbing her multiple times, said Lt. Warren Jones of the Los Angeles police Department's Topanga Station.
The 43-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, Jones said. Her two children -- believed to be Kane's --were inside the home.
The suspect was taken into custody shortly after midnight this morning in San Bernardino County, said Officer Susan Torres of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations office.
Michael Kane is an elementary teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing website noted he has a multiple-subject teaching credential and is listed as being in good standing until Dec. 1, 2017. He has been a credentialed teacher since June 5, 1998.
Kane started as a substitute teacher in the LAUSD in 1997, followed by three permanent teaching assignments, the latest at Nestle Avenue Charter Elementary, in Tarzana, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Records show no disciplinary action, according to the newspaper.
From Hal Eisner:
As the LAPD Squad Car
approached me I asked the suspect inside "Anything you want to say?"
"NO!" "Nothing at all?" I asked. "Nothing at this
time." The suspect is Michael Rodney Kane. He's the 46 year old man who, authorities
say, stabbed his estranged wife Michelle to death in the middle of a West Hills
It was the end of a long day for detectives who said the found Kane's car
behind a Yucca Valley community center around 10am Sunday then, 14 hours later
found him in a motel room in Joshua Tree. Police say they kicked down the
door in order to arrest him. They had heard he might be injured and, in fact,
found he had punctures and lacerations on his body. They said he was
cooperative. They took him to a desert hospital for treatment and then brought
him back to LA around 7:30am this morning. An hour later he was off to Van Nuys
Jail to be booked for 1st degree murder.
An arraignment is
expected Wednesday.

LGBT rights activists from every corner of the country will be in Dallas next week for the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change, where they will plan political strategy, activate and energize to advance LGBT equality
The National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change
More than 2,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights supporters will convene in Dallas, Texas, on Feb. 3-7 for the 22nd National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change. It is the country's largest annual gathering of LGBT rights advocates coming together to organize and strategize.
Keynote speakers include National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey, a leading voice in the national LGBT rights movement, who will deliver the "State of the Movement" address to the full assembly on Friday, Feb. 5; Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who will speak about comprehensive immigration reform on Thursday, Feb. 4; and writer Kai Wright, who will moderate a plenary panel of LGBT youth of color called "Young Leaders Speak: Out, Loud, Proud," on Saturday, Feb. 6.
Sheraton Dallas Hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas
More about the conference:
Creating Change reflects the breadth and scope of diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and supporters of LGBT rights. It is the largest organizing conference for LGBT rights supporters in the United States. Find additional details here: http://www.CreatingChange.org.
Media credentials required. To request credentials, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement.

Spotted animals are interesting symbols because of their nonconformity to a uniform color. Often we may see people as spotted or as leopards if we suspect them of shiftiness or insincerity.
To see a leopard mauling a kill, especially if it makes eye contact with you, likely means that you have been dealing with someone who you do not trust, and that you should take stock of recent dealings with that person and others like them.

Photographer Bait? 20-inch 4K Panasonic tablet running Windows 8
Already photographers are using the iPad and other tablets for some forms of image manipulation and management. Granted, nothing can replace a desktop computer setup for hardcore work, but... what if you had a 20-inch 4K resolution tablet with stylus support running Windows 8 to play with? How useful would it be? Panasonic is asking this question indirectly by showing such a working device at CES 2013. See the picture extracted by The Verge from the CNet Coverage of the Panasonic keynote.

September 2002 Sky from Keeble Observatory
NASA has another embarrassment to deal with - the CONTOUR spacecraft we highlighted
in August has apparently been lost. After the scheduled burn of the solid booster,
the spacecraft's signal was not recovered. Telescopes identified what appear to
be three fragments of the spacecraft on its predicted trajectory. We'll have more
to say once the inquiry is completed.
Speaking of embarassment, how embarrassing would it be if you couldn't find most
of the money you knew was in your bank account? That is somewhat the state of modern
cosmology, which has wrestled in recent decades with what was once known as the
missing mass problem. We had determined from orbits of stars in our own and other
galaxies that the total mass of stars, gas, and dust in those galaxies was insufficient
to account for the observed paths of the stuff we could see. Also, the inferred
and observed motions of galaxies within clusters also indicated that there was not
enough stellar and interstellar material to account for the observed gravity - i.e.
much of the mass was missing. Actually, it's not missing, but it doesn't emit or
absorb electromagnetic radiation - i.e. light - so it is better called dark matter.
Indeed, the necessary mass would be almost ten times the observed luminous matter.
Some of it, though not nearly enough to solve the problem, has been detected in
the form of brown dwarfs or free-floating planets, too cool to emit detectable radiation,
but which sometimes block the light from more distant stars.
To make the situation even more embarrassing, there are firm theoretical arguments
to suggest that there couldn't be that much normal matter in the universe. But,
the total mass of normal matter both observed and inferred is only about 20% of
what theory tells us to expect. A substantial part of what the universe is made
of has to be in the form of exotic dark matter - curious particles hinted at by
some versions of the standard model of fundamental particles. Even more curious,
most of the universe seems to consist of a mysterious dark energy which is accelerating
the universal expansion. We'll say more about these next month.
Recall that I said above that we hadn't been able to observe all the normal matter
that our theories told us to expect. The good news is that researchers using the
Chandra X-Ray Observatory have found the missing normal matter. Where is it? It's
not in galaxies, but in the vast space between them. And, it's very hot - 300,000
to 5 million degrees Kelvin. Observing distant quasars, Chandra observers from the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and Ohio State measured the absorption
of x-rays by the hot gas, primarily looking for absorption by highly ionized oxygen
and other heavier elements. The amount of absorption at specific wavelengths provides
a probe of the temperature and density of the intervening material. Extrapolating
results from a handful of quasars to the whole sky tells us that the intergalactic
medium is filled with filaments of this hot gas - with more mass than all the galaxies
Other observers from the University of Michigan flipped the procedure around, using
the absorption of x-rays emitted by the hot intergalactic gas absorbed by passing
through intervening galaxies. Analysis of their results gives similar answers for
the distribution and temperature of the gas filaments.
Lunar phases for September: New Moon on the 6th, at 11:10 pm; First Quarter on the
13th, at 2:08 pm; Full Moon on the 21st, at 9:59 am; Last Quarter on the 29th, at
1:03 pm.
Evening planet watchers will have to be content with Venus, brilliant but low above
the southwest horizon for about an hour after sunset. Mercury sets even earlier,
and is not likely to be visible through clutter and haze. Jupiter and Saturn are
visible in the pre-dawn sky, east to east-southeast.
An overhead view about an hour after sunset finds Vega, in the constellation Lyra,
almost at zenith. During the first and last weeks of the month, there should be
little moonlight to interfere with seeing the Ring Nebula in the same constellation
with binoculars or a small telescope. Near Vega you can also resolve the double
double as a binary with binoculars. A modest telescope and good seeing will permit
you to notice this as a pair of binaries. The systems are actually gravitationally
bound - four stars in an elegant celestial dance. To the east of Vega, note the
familiar cross shape of Cygnus. The bright star at the tail of the Swan is Deneb.
The star at the other end of the pattern is Albireo - a small telescope reveals
this as a binary, as well, with the two stars of strikingly different colors (one
blue, one orange, which means they have different surface temperatures). A bit to
the south we find Altair, in the constellation Aquila (the Eagle). The three bright
overhead stars (Vega, Deneb, Altair) are sure signs that autumn is coming. On the
23rd the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, an event marked as the
Autumnal Equinox. Only on this day does the Sun actually rise due East and set due
West. As the year continues toward December's Winter Solstice, the sunrise and sunset
points will drift to the south, making fewer hours of daylight and longer nights.
Returning attention to Deneb, follow the Milky Way to the northeast. You'll notice
a crooked W shape above the horizon - that's Casseiopeia. A larger triangle of bright
stars is to the west. Again anchored by Vega, sweep your vision west through Hercules
to bright Arcturus, in Bootes. To the southwest is bright red Antares, in Scorpio.
The northwest horizon is marked by Ursa Major, the familiar Big Dipper. Another
binary is found in the middle of the handle - the Mizar/Alcor system.

Maybe Occupy was too successful a brand in that it sometimes disguised how much this movement was part of popular surges going on around the world: the Arab Spring(including the three successful revolutions, the ongoing Syrian civil war, uprisings in Yemen, and more); the student uprisings in Montreal, Mexico, and Chile that have continued to develop and broaden; the economic revolts in Spain, Greece, and Britain; the ongoing demonstrations and insurrections around Africa; even various acts of resistance in India, Japan, China, and Tibet, some large and powerful. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, these days a lot of the world is in some form of rebellion, insurrection, or protest.
And the family resemblances matter. If you add them all up, you see a similar fury at greed, political corruption, economic inequality, environmental devastation, and a dimming, shrinking future.
