There are literally too many potentially great movies playing at this year's Toronto International Film Festival for a single person to see them all over the course of the festival's eleven-day run. The lineup for TIFF 2013 is one of its strongest yet, and for those of us fortunate enough to attend, it all but guarantees a fantastic two weeks of cinema, and for the rest of the movie watching public, it indicates good things for the upcoming fall and winter film seasons.
In some cases, movies being screened at TIFF are set for release just weeks later in September, so the headstart festival audiences will have is not all that noteworthy. Others—such as You're Next, for instance, which premiered at TIFF two years ago and finally saw a theatrical run this summer—may not be seen for some time.
The festival has a history of offering heightened publicity for awards seasons contenders. Last year it boasted premieres of the likes of Silver Linings Playbook and Argo, which went on to big things. Festival publicists are also quick to point out other success stories like Precious and Slumdog Millionaire.
The truth is, the festival premiere circuit is becoming more arbitrary and crowded. This week we've been hearing all about the films showing at Telluride and Venice, which is in turn generating buzz for TIFF, which will likely generate buzz for late fall releases and Oscar consideration. I'm personally far less interested in that than in having the opportunity to get an early viewing of some of the best filmmaking of the year.
So, with that in mind, here are 10 of the most highly anticipated TIFF 2013 movies that you'll be hearing plenty more about in the coming weeks.

1) Gravity
Buzziest of all the TIFF 2013 films is the new Alfonso Cuarón space thriller starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Yes, Gravity is a movie that has been on moviegoer radars for weeks, months, even years. The magnificent trailer caught the attention of audiences back in May, but the hype surrounding this movie has been at a steady growth ever since Cuarón started showing amazing footage from it months earlier. He re-teams with the best cinematographer in the business, Emmanuel Lubezki, with whom he worked on the much-heralded Children of Men, and so a powerful visual experience can be all but assured with this one.
I've tried to avoid too many of the reviews, but the glimpses I've caught seem to reach a consensus around this movie being a game-changer. This, of course, brings us to the difficult terrain of cinematic expectations. With the buzz being as insane as it is for Gravity, the chances that it could live up to expectations becomes a more and more daunting prospect. Then again, the critics who have seen it already seem to think it meets and exceeds their wildest hopes for what it would be. We'll all have to wait and see, but this is the one I'm most excited about seeing at the festival. The good news is that it's also scheduled for an October 4th release everywhere, so the post-TIFF wait won't be very long at all.

2) Dallas Buyers Club
The pitch: Matthew McConaughey-led AIDS drama. Talk about grabbing an audience's attention. That's only the tip of the intrigue iceberg, however; McConaughey plays RonWoodroof, a true-life figure from the 1980s who smuggled alternative medications into Texas after being diagnosed with HIV in hopes of prolonging his own life and the lives of fellow patients.
Co-stars include Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner, but the most exciting aspect of the movie has to be McConaughey and his performance. The physical transformation he has put himself through has been getting the most attention, losing nearly 40 pounds to replicate the emaciated look of his character. This continues the trend of McConaughey's career transformation, becoming one of the most fascinating and compelling actors around right now, and is indeed perhaps the most high-profile role of his to date, playing the lead in a historical drama. The speculation is that he'll finally be up for several lead actor awards come winter, a welcome reward for about three years now of outstanding film work.

3) 12 Years a Slave
12 Years a Slave might be attracting the most attention from critics aside from Gravity, and it's not surprising. This is a film that's been talked about as an Oscar contender since it was first announced. It's the biggest production yet for acclaimed British director Steve McQueen, and boasts an all-star cast including McQueen's go-to collaborator Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, and even more that I could mention, but you might as well just check out its IMDb page.
The story itself sounds absolutely fascinating: Solomon Northup, played by Ejiofor, is a free black man in 1841 who is kidnapped in Washington DC and sold into slavery in Louisiana. McQueen showed his directorial skills in Hunger and Shame, two relatively small, intimate and focused features, and this is decidedly his most ambitious film effort to date. All signs point to him being able to pull it off, but we'll find out when it premieres.

4) Labor Day
Jason Reitman is TIFF's favorite—I guess I should say favourite—son. He's actually the son of famed director Ivan Reitman, but his ties to Toronto are deep and his loyalty to the festival is admirable. This year sees another debut screening of the director's follow-up to Juno, Up in the Air, and Young Adult, which is said to be a starkly dramatic turn for Reitman, whose films tend to have a strong comedic element despite dealing with sometimes heavy themes.
With festival films, the cast is often one of the biggest reasons for seeking out a particular film, and with Labor Day boasting the likes of Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin in its two lead roles, it's sure to be a title that's high in demand. Add to this the positive buzz about the film coming out of Telluride, with critics hailing it as a mature progression for Reitman, who's only 35 (!), as well as its scheduled mid-awards season release, and this becomes one of the most must-see films at TIFF 2013.
I've always found Reitman's comedic movies to be trying a little too hard to be serious at times, and his moralizing of his characters irks me slightly, but he's clearly a filmmaker with an enormous upside and until he does something truly offensive, his work will always be worth going out of your way to see.

5) Enough Said
Possibly the last great movie to star James Gandolfini, Enough Said has the potential to be one of the less publicized gems of the festival. If you've seen the lovely little 2010 film Please Give, you're likely aware of the understatedly fantastic talent of director Nicole Holofcener. Her new film looks to be building upon the success of her previous work, collaborating again with Catherine Keener but also putting Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her first major film role in I don't know how long. The always terrific Toni Collette rounds out the cast.
The story itself sounds a little more interesting than other films of this type: the Louis-Dreyfus character is a masseuse and seems to become besties with one of her clients, Catherine Keener, until she starts unknowingly going out with Keener's ex-husband, Gandolfini. It sounds dramatic and almost like a strange romantic comedy plot, but knowing Nicole Holofcener's style, it will mostly be a vehicle for a realistic look at relationships and complicated, multi-dimensional characters in a relatable setting. Let's hope one of the most high-profile female directors at the festival lives up to the expectations.
Continue reading on the next page…
6) Third Person
Paul Haggis hasn't been on the cinematic radar for a few years, but he makes his big return at TIFF 2013. The fact that this is his first release since his very public departure from the Church of Scientology may or may not factor in, but either way, it's nice to see Haggis back in the fold after his less successful but, in my opinion, underrated The Next Three Days. Something about his directing doesn't satisfy everyone, as evidenced by Crash and In the Valley of Elah, but there are plenty who find at least his writing style exciting and insightful. He's the writer behind Million Dollar Baby, after all.
The cast of the film is impressive enough to intrigue any skeptics: James Franco and Mila Kunis play the two leads, while Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde and Adrien Brody star in supporting roles. What's also interesting about the movie is that it was made outside of the Hollywood studios, apparently receiving financing from some kind Belgians, an unusual route for someone of Haggis' clout and access, but again, possibly a result of his break from what is allegedly the most powerful religious institution in Hollywood. It has yet to secure an American distributor, so its world premiere at TIFF will be supremely important for Haggis if he's to return to the top of the cinematic hill.

7) Hateship Loveship
There's not a lot of information out on Hateship Loveship, and yet its director and cast make it an intriguing mix with enormous potential, the former being rising star Liza Johnson and the latter consisting of Kristen Wiig, Guy Pearce, Nick Nolte and Hailee Steinfeld. The last lead role for Wiig, Girl Most Likely, proved significantly disappointing for audiences, but this one seems set to right the ship.
One reason it seems promising is that it's based on a collection of short stories by renowned Canadian author Alice Munro. Another is that Johnson's previous work, a small but well received film starring Linda Cardellini entitled Return, indicates some serious talent and potential for big things. This film could make TIFF 2013 her coming out party, and solidify Wiig as a bonafide movie star.
Continue reading on the next page…
8) Made in America
Now, this will be one to see. And yet it will be difficult for most people to see, since it's only screening for one night at TIFF so getting tickets for it will be undoubtedly crazy. Ron Howard has two films showing at the festival, the other being the Chris Hemsworth-starring Rush, which opens a couple of weeks following its opening in Toronto. For me at least, Made in America is the film that garners far greater interest, since it features Ron Howard trying his hand for the first time at documentary, a genre that has been exciting territory for traditional narrative directors like Spike Lee and Martin Scorsese to experiment in.
The doc serves as a showcase of the Made in America Music Festival based in Philadelphia and founded only a year ago by Jay-Z. The second edition of the festival is actually taking place presently, at the time of this writing, and so the documentary is likely to offer an interesting look at the festival one year later. The lineup alone makes this a concert movie worth seeing: Pearl Jam, Rum-DMC, Janelle Monae, Skrillex, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé themselves. Although One Direction: This Is Us set the bar pretty high for concert films this year, Made in America could be the one film to top it.

9) You Are Here
Following in the footsteps of his former boss David Chase, who directed his first feature film last year called Not Fade Away, Matthew Weiner is debuting his first feature at TIFF, You Are Here. The similarities between the two end there, and the contrasts in their vastly different movies speak volumes.
You Are Here is being touted as a straight-up comedy, and its cast reinforces this reputation, as the film stars Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler. It's sure to feature some of the trademarks Weiner has come to be known for thanks to his incredible work on Mad Men (complex characters, smart observations on human nature and relationships), and it looks to pair these with some of the sharpest comedic talents working today. It's entirely possible that this could be the festival's sleeper hit.

10) Joe
If you haven't seen Prince Avalanche yet, you should check it out. David Gordon Green has returned to small, weird indie dramas that are funny, or comedies that are a little serious, or however you want to classify them. I'm starting to think more and more that he is for weird comedy what Nicolas Winding Refn is for weird violence. They both seem to just go for things, whatever pops into their heads, and whatever amuses them or disturbs them or makes them feel something, and that can translate into total misses or it can turn into bizarre yet amazing cinematic experiences.
Joe stars Nicolas Cage and the kid from The Tree of Life and Mud. That's all I know, and all I care to know, because those elements alone make it one of the festival films I absolutely need to see. Oh, it also looks like Cage has just the fiercest of beards.
There's no shortage of movies to check out at TIFF 2013, to be sure. The programmers have outdone themselves in offering something for everyone—not just something, but many things, too many things for a single person to take in all on their own. Prioritizing and scheduling the films you want to see if you're going to such a fan-friendly festival like TIFF is key, and almost an impossible pursuit. But that's part of the fun. If nothing else, anything in the Midnight Madness field will be worth the price of admission. And beyond that, it's just a fun time to be in Toronto.Previous

We have been on several cruises. The Spirit is one of the most beautiful ships we have been on. It is not one of the huge ships and that appealed to us. The food ranged from excellent to just okay. It really depends on what you order. Don't miss the bread pudding on the evening menu or the strawberry shortcake at lunch in Windows. The New York steak on the menu tended to be pretty tough even when medium rare. No one was in danger of starving. We did not try any of the specialty restaurants since we figured we could spend that money on shore. The service in Windows was very good, not so good in the Garden Room, the one night we tried it.
We didn't book excursions with the ship, choosing to find what was available after we docked.
The entertainment on the Spirit was great. Our favorites were Emily and Arvin a duo you can check out on youtube and the comedian, David Naster. Other reviews have mentioned the smoke in the casino. I didn't find it to be as bad as some people said and since I ended up $400, I wasn't complaining.
There was no doubt that we got our money's worth on this cruise. New Orleans is a great port city, especially since the ship docks within walking distance of the French Quarter. There is a cable car that runs from Julia St. to the quarter if you don't want to walk.

Tires in Denver
Quality car maintenance revolves around making sure all auto components are in top working order, especially tires which take more wear and tear than any other part of the car. Denver tires retailers and repair services perform in-depth inspections of each vehicle to determine which tires would best serve the vehicle and how many tires should be replaced. Many of these companies also offer select free services such as mounting and balancing when customers opt for a tire and wheel package.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Pyramid Diet Secrets
Hundreds of new diet books hit the shelves each year promising -- at last! -- the real secret to losing weight and keeping it off. And each year, more and more Americans join the ranks of the overweight and obese.
Why don't diets work? Recent studies show that many popular diets, even radically different diets, actually do help people lose weight -- for a while. Whether they follow a low-fat/high-carbohydrate regimen or a low-carb/high-protein one, most people shed pounds for about the first six months. Then the weight creeps back.
Editor's Note: Food Pyramid Replaced
In June 2011, the USDA replaced the food pyramid with a new plate icon.
By the end of a year, many people are right back where they started from.
Why Fad Diets Fail
One reason fad diets fail is that they are hard to stick with. Dieters end up having to say no to too many foods they like. Another problem is that many popular diets are nutritionally unbalanced.
"If a diet is too low in carbohydrates, you can end up deficient in fiber and B vitamins," says Connie M. Weaver, PhD, a professor of nutrition at Purdue University who has played a key role in shaping federal nutrition guidelines. "If it's too low in fat, you won't get enough fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids."
Nutritional deficiencies pose health dangers. And they may also be one reason many people overeat. If a diet doesn't contain all the nutrients the body needs, some researchers speculate, people go on eating -- and overeating -- until they get them.
What's a dieter to do? The real secret to safe, effective, and nutritionally sensible way to lose weight, more and more experts say, can be found in the familiar but often overlooked USDA diet pyramid.
The Power of the Pyramid
The food pyramid, which made its debut in 1992, offers a visual distillation of the best consensus on nutrition advice for the general public. Sure, there have been controversies over the years. And the pyramid has changed to reflect evolving nutrition science.
"But many nutritionists agree that the official food pyramid represents the most scientifically sound approach to eating for good health," says Susan Krebs-Smith, PhD, chief of the risk factor monitoring and methods branch at the National Cancer Institute, who recently reviewed MyPyramid's advice.
The latest online version of the pyramid -- MyPyramid.gov -- is both interactive and customizable in two easy steps.
- Step 1: Visitors to the web site can register and then fill in their
own vital statistics -- height, weight, sex, and average physical activity
- Step 2: The program then creates a personalized eating plan based on the precise number of calories required to maintain a healthy weight.
"For the first time, the pyramid links calorie expenditure with calorie consumption," says Weaver.
That's a crucial change. By following the pyramid, you can create an eating plan based on the foods you like, along with a sensible way to gradually shed unwanted pounds.

With people dying every day of preventable diseases and malnutrition, it is critical that we donate to the most effective charities possible. The difference between charities is astounding. Some do 1,000 times as much good with their donations as others!
We strongly recommend donating to these charities. To the best of our knowledge, based on assessments of these charities, these are the most cost-effective charities in the world:
Well Established Charities
Against Malaria Foundation fights malaria by distributing long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets.
Schistosomiasis Control Initiative treats neglected tropical diseases by supplying medicine via schools.
Against Malaria Foundation and Schistosomiasis Control Initiative have a proven track record of high-impact interventions and we are confident of their continuing success.
Promising Charities
Deworm the World Initiative treats neglected tropical diseases by working with governments.
Project Healthy Children improves the health of children by fortifying staple foods.
Deworm the World and Project Healthy Children work with governments and there is thus less certainty of success of their programmes, though they have the potential to make an enormous impact.

Thursday, the Oles defeated Bethel by a slim 5-4 margin. Ellen Goerss '09 played in two crucial matches, winning her singles contest in a tiebreaker and her doubles match by a 9-8 score with partner Diana Baetscher '09 to clinch an Ole victory.
The women carried this momentum with them to Winona on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed similar success, downing St. Mary's by a score of 6-3. Kristina Poplavska '09 won her match at first singles against a tough Cardinal opponent, paving the way for wins from Baetscher and Sarah Carlson '10. This win effectively sealed their spot in the playoffs.
The Oles took a step backward on Monday, getting swept 9-0 by first-place Gustavus in St. Peter. Gustavus is a Division III powerhouse in women's tennis and Monday's win over the Oles capped their undefeated MIAC season.
However, the women are more focused on what lies ahead.
"We are very excited to play St. Benedict's in the first round of the playoffs," head coach Scott Nesbit said. The Oles lost 6-3 to St. Bens in a hard-fought indoor match back on Feb. 17. They are eagerly anticipating this upcoming rematch and the chance to beat the Bennies when it really counts.
The women open up the MIAC playoff tournament Friday at 9 a.m. on St. Olaf's very own Carlson Courts. St. Olaf will play host to an electric and intense playoff atmosphere both Friday and Saturday, with ideal tennis weather forecasts for sunshine and a light breeze.
"We would love to have some fans if people don't have class and can come root us on," said Nesbit.
Gustavus is the number one seed in the six-team tournament, followed by Carleton (9-1), St. Ben's (8-1), St. Thomas (7-3) and St. Kate's (5-5).
If things go the Oles' way on Friday, they would play on Saturday in the semi-final match at 9 a.m. and in the championship at 1 p.m.

A top-notch Convertible! by Jeepster on 10/08/2012. Trim: 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi Convertible, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I own a 2001 Sebring LXi Convertible and love vitually everything about it - Styling, Ride, Performance, Reliability, Roominess, Comfort and the excellent Infinity stereo system, just for starters. I should also mention that the gas mileage of the 2.7 liter engine is excellent - over 30 mpg highway, mid 20's overall.
Cons: The only negatives are that some parts are buried such as the thermostat, and the battery (in the driver's side front fender).
Overall review: I've owned a number of covertibles over the years from VW Carbriolets to Saab 9-3s, and I must say that when all is said & done surprisingly I prefer the Sebring LXi over the much more expensive Saab. The styling of the Sebring is absolutrly drop-dead gorgeous, but styling alone doesn't make the car. It is the combination of room, ride, quiteness, comfort, performance, handling, gas mileage, a great stereo, and so much more that make the Sebring Convertible an excellent choice. Did I mention that it is an extremely reliable vehicle as well? Chrysler had been criticized for issues with reliability, but I've owned a number of Chrysler products and find them (and my Sebring) to be extremely reliable. I would not hesitate to purchase another, but hope to own this one for many, many, mnay years to come. I must say, based on the "nearly new" condition of this 12 year old vehicle inside and out, it is certainly aging very well. I absolutely love it!

The first fruits of the projected $6.2 million surplus on the 2008 school bond will be directed to a pair of roofs if the School Committee has its way.
The committee voted unanimously last week to request permission from the Town Council to appropriate $1,813,500 for roof replacement work at East Greenwich High School and $225,000 for roof repairs at Frenchtown Elementary School.

Human Nature - The Motown Record
Text: Sherman Yang
Without any instruments to cover up any possible vocal flaws, Human Nature pulls off two stunning a cappella tracks 'Ooo Baby Baby' and 'Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)' with just their voices. The doo-wop take on these classic Motown songs has stunning vocal harmonisations and are great renditions of the songs.
'Get Ready' was written by Motown legend Smokey Robinson and originally recorded by the Temptations. Robinson lends his voice this time, but overshadows Human Nature in this track which is given a slightly more pop treatment.
While Human Nature manages to put their own spins and harmonies into the songs, it is very difficult to outdo original versions of classics such as 'Stop In The Name Of Love' by the Supremes, the Temptations' 'My Girl' and 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', which has been covered by many notable artists over the years.
On the whole, it is difficult to point out a bad track in the 12-track The Motown Record. Human Nature's perfect harmonisations prove that the quartet is vocally talented. Unfortunately, the group has very big shoes to fill, since the original songs are mostly huge hits that would undoubtedly be cause for comparison.
Recommended tracks: 'Ooo Baby Baby', 'Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)', 'Get Ready'

Your baby's safety and security is one of our top priorities. We safeguard your baby using the following measures:
Parents may call 215-590-3083 at any time to get information about their baby.
Due to the large volume of calls we receive, we regret that we cannot forward calls to you while you are visiting. Please let your family and friends know this so they will not be frustrated by trying to call you here. You may want to set up a time when you can call them to provide updates on your baby's progress. There are parent phones located throughout the unit that you can use for outgoing calls while you are here. Local calls (immediate Philadelphia area) are free; other calls require collect calling or a calling card.
Phone - Although cellular phones are not permitted in the unit because they interfere with equipment, there are phones available in the unit for family use. Please ask your baby's nurse to direct you to one.
Web - Children's Hospital offers you the ability to create a personal, password-protected website on which you can share news about your baby's stay. Please contact the Connelly Resource Center for Families at 215-590-5778 to arrange this.
eCards - Make someone smile with an eCard greeting! We offer a variety of seasonal cards suited to all ages. Learn more about eCards »
Mail - Those wishing to send cards and letters to Children's Hospital patients should address them to:
Child's full name
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
34th Street and Civic Center Boulevard
Philadelphia, PA 19104-4399
For outgoing mail, there is a U.S. Postal Service mail box at the main entrance of the Hospital. Stamps are available in the Gift Shop.
Parents, grandparents and legal guardians (or other caretakers designated by parents) are welcome to visit at any time.
Please stop at the clerks' window each time you enter the unit so they can let your nurse know that you are here. We offer limited sleep accommodations to parents, so if you plan to stay overnight, please ask your nurse to help you make arrangements.
Before you enter the unit, wash your hands and forearms up to the elbow with warm water and soap for two minutes either at the sinks in the entry area or as soon as you enter the unit. Cover gowns are available but not required. If you have a cold, we may ask you to wear a face mask (in addition to washing your hands carefully) before touching your baby, to protect her from outside illnesses. If you have been exposed to a contagious disease (measles, chicken pox, TB), please talk with a nurse before visiting so we can be sure that our other patients will not be at risk.
Although we encourage parents to be with their baby as much as they would like, there are rare times when an emergency is occurring that we must ask you to wait a few minutes before coming into the unit.
If you wish, you may bring your baby's brothers and sisters to visit. Please talk to your baby's nurse or the charge nurse to plan for this. We need to make sure that the plans for the visit will fit in with the unit's activity level and that your visiting child does not pose an infection risk to the babies. Please note that only brothers and sisters — no other children — are permitted to visit. An adult family member must supervise visiting children at all times.
Also, please work with your baby's nurses to plan for visits by other family members. Please ask family members who have a cold, fever or diarrhea not to visit until they are feeling better. Also anyone who has been exposed to a contagious disease (chicken pox, measles, TB) should talk with a nurse before visiting to be sure that they are not at risk for exposing our patients.
Before entering the unit, siblings and family members should wash their hands and forearms up to the elbow with warm water and soap for two minutes either at the sinks in the entry area or as soon as they enter the unit. Cover gowns are available but not required.
We allow only two people on the unit (past the security doors) per patient at any one time to avoid crowding and excess noise for the babies. Once your visitors are inside the unit, we ask that they stay at your baby's bedside for infection control and confidentiality reasons.

News, News, News!!!
by thetubamonster
Last time I wrote, I was sitting in my Washington D.C. hostel after arriving there for the US Army Band Tuba Euphonium Workshop. I had a performance at that conference on Friday, January 27, as a part of the Falcone Festival Winners Recital. I performed on the second half, after euphonium winner Toby Furr of the University of North Texas. Toby and I got to hang out quite a bit at the Falcone Festival this past August, so it was great to get to see him again.
I performed three different sonatas–a coincidence that actually worked out rather well. I didn't intend to program three pieces with the same name. My intent was, instead, to showcase the tuba, what it is capable of, and how composers write for the instrument. The first piece was Sonata in d minor by Godfrey Finger. It was originally written in the baroque period for recorder and harpsichord. A really nice video of this performance can be found on youtube here. The second piece I performed was Sonata by Andrzej Krzanowski-a Polish composer. It is written in a minimalist style and features two contrasting musical ideas. One is rhythmic and repetitive while the other is more melodic and rhythmically stagnant. The melodic theme either occurs in the extreme low register or the stratosphere, so that makes it rather challenging. The piece clocks in at around 14 minutes, so the sheer physicality and endurance that is required makes it a daunting task. It is so much fun to play and, I think, fun to listen to. The last piece was the super accessible Sonata for Tuba and Piano by John Cheetham, written in 2000. It is a fantastic piece of music that is relatively easy to play and exceptionally easy to listen to. It reminds me of movie music. You can find a video of my performances of the Cheetham Sonata on my YouTube channel here.
After the conference, I returned to Baton Rouge and immediately began preparing for the oral defense of my DMA general exams. After a pretty intense two hour grilling session by my DMA committee (which is made up of Dr. Joe Skillen, Dr. Stephen David Beck, Dr. Brian Shaw, Prof. Seth Orgel, and Dr. Jon Cogburn) they informed me that I passed my defense! This means I am officially ABD and can now fully focus on writing my dissertation. As for the dissertation, I have begun contacting tuba professionals that I am hoping to interview to get some information for my document. If all goes well, I will be travelling to Cookeville, Tennessee next week to spend some time with R. Winston Morris. That will be fun!
This Friday, we have the LSU Concert Spectacular. I am performing in only a few ensembles this year–the LSU Tuba Euphonium Ensemble and the LSU Jazz Band. We are performing All That Jazz… Whoo hoo!! Later this semester, I will be performing IN C by Terry Riley–that will be on March 30 at 7:30PM in the LSU Recital Hall. Also in the works is an interdisciplinary performance including John Cage's EIGHT. There will be music, dance, drawing, painting, sculpture, and any other art forms I can gather. Then, later in April, I will be performing a tuba recital featuring experimental and electronic music.
Busy busy busy is the name of the game, as it is for everyone I suppose. You guys be safe out there. We've had a number of fatalities in the Baton Rouge cycling community in the last month or so. Don't hit cyclists and be good to your fellow human and keep in mind that no matter how idiotic they might be acting, they are still someone's mother or daughter or cousin or friend. In other words, they are people just like you are. Be cool. Sorry…had to get that out.
Thanks for reading, and I'll post more when some stuff happens!

Product Information Menu
Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by humans in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. But, due to the winter season, weather conditions, and sun block, the body's ability to produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited.87 These factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D supplement.
Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density.88-94 However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound effects on human immunity.95-101 These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems.
The current RDA is only 600 IU. As a result of startling evidence of a widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1,000 IU per day and higher. Currently, most experts in the field believe that intakes of between 1,000 and 10,000 IU for adults will lead to serum 25(OH)D levels above those indicative of vitamin D deficient levels, at approximately 80 nmol/L or 32 ng/mL.
Life Extension recommends that healthy adults supplement each day with at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D. Elderly adults may benefit from higher doses such as 5,000 IU daily up to 10,000 IU daily. The objective of taking a vitamin D supplement is to achieve an optimal 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood level of between 50-80 ng/mL.
Vitamin D in the amount of 2,000 IU is contained in the multi-nutrient Life Extension Mix™ and the multivitamin Two-Per-Day Tablets. A vitamin D blood test can help you determine the additional amount of vitamin D you may need to supplement to achieve an optimal level.
For most people, this 1,000 IU potency is insufficient to attain optimal vitamin D blood levels. For smaller individuals who obtain 2,000-3,000 IU in their multi-nutrient formulas (and children), this potency of vitamin D may be suitable.
Serving Size 1 softgel
Servings Per Container 250
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol)
Other ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, medium chain triglycerides oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, rosemary extract.
Individuals consuming more than 2,000 IU/day of vitamin D (from diet and supplements) should periodically obtain a serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D measurement. Do not exceed 10,000 IU per day unless recommended by your doctor. Vitamin D supplementation is not recommended for individuals with high blood calcium levels.

Considering the extent of D deficiency in this country, supplementing really can make a difference. The 1000 IU size is nice because it enables you to fine tune appropriate amounts.

New small softgels are great!
By Bob in FL
from Sunny Florida
I take up to 5000 IU of Vitamin D per day. After measuring my vitamin D levels with a blood test, I discovered I was a bit deficient. I used the Life Extension Vitamin D3 capsules for years and now happily convert to the new convenient softgels. They are small and easy to swallow, and I feel the softgels are a better delivery mechanism than the capsules. Thank you Life Extension! (BTW, my blood test results for Vitamin D improved on this regiment).

Valdosta Police are looking for two women who robbed a man near his hotel and threatened him with knives.
This is the second time someone has been robbed this week on Hill Avenue near their motel. This time it was an out-of-towner staying the night at Motel Six.
Police say the North Carolina man was walking back to the hotel around 11:30 Wednesday night after eating dinner nearby. The women came at him with knives and demanded his wallet.
"It's very unfortunate because we want to be a good community host for anyone coming into our town but unfortunately this happened and we're very thankful he did not get hurt," said Captain Bobbi McGraw, VPD.
The women gave the man his wallet back but stole his credit cards and $30. If you have any information on this armed robbery Valdosta Police ask you to call them at 229-242-2606.

It seems like boy band One Direction is getting a reputation for releasing singles that sound like tunes by famous classic rock acts. The latest song in question is "Midnight Memories," the title track to the group's new album, which many people have noticed bears a number of similarities to the Def Leppard classic "Pour Some Sugar on Me." In fact, U.K. newspaper The Mirror ran a report suggesting that the veteran rockers were considering taking legal action against the young quintet, but Def Leppard guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell tell Billboard that's not the case.
While Leppard may not be interested in suing One Direction, Collen agrees that the new song is "very similar in structure" to "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Campbell, however, points out that both tunes feature a very common "one-four-five" chord progression.
"Those are the blues," he explains. "You don't get more basic than that." Campbell adds that several other elements of "Midnight Memories" are more specifically "reminiscent of the Leppard thing [including] the production, the sound, the vocals, the reverb and the way it's assembled."
Campbell says he finds it "very flattering" that young artists are considering the sound associated with his band to be cool.
Earlier this year, another controversy emerged when a rumor was started online -- and was subsequently fueled by the British press -- claiming that The Who was planning to sue One Direction over their hit "Best Song Ever," because its intro was similar to the rock legends' classic 1971 tune "Baba O'Riley." However, as in the case of Def Leppard, The Who's Pete Townshend , who wrote "Baba O'Riley," came forward to insist his band had no intention of suing One Direction.
Speaking with Uncut magazine about "Best Song Ever," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer declared, "I like the single. I like One Direction. The chords I used and the chords they used are the same three chords we've all been using in basic pop music since Buddy Holly , Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry made it clear that fancy chords don't mean great music -- not always."
Additionally, fans and critics have noted that the opening riff of One Direction's "Live While We're Young" sounds an awful lot like the opening riff of the 1981 The Clash classic, "Should I Stay or Should I Go."

He began handing out campaign cards on Aug. 15 — about 3 and a half days before primary ballots were cast.
Slater said his bid was not borne out of specific concerns with Bonner.
"Not at all. I just want to give people a choice," he said. "I don't have an agenda."
Slater said he could bring a "fresh set of eyes" and a "clean slate" to the Legislature if elected.
He decided to start his write-in campaign from the encouragement of friends and said things have gone well so far.
"It's been real positive," he said.
Unofficial results from the Park County clerk's office recorded 63 votes for Slater — roughly 4 percent of the vote.
Bonner picked up 1,242 votes, or about 92 percent of those cast. Unopposed incumbent legislators on county ballots — Elaine Harvey, Colin Simpson, Hank Coe, and Pat Childers — received around 97 percent of the vote.
When told of Slater's candidacy, Bonner said he welcomed a new entry in the race.
"I'd say that's great. That's the process," he said. "More candidates probably focus more attention on the issues... Who wins in a scenario like that? The voters."
Yetter, who works in construction, unofficially picked up 30 ballots — less than a half a percentage point.
He said he ran because he was concerned with personal vendettas and "sometimes a whole lot of ado about nothing," in government.
"We need to simply administer the public's business and keep on keeping on," he said. "I see a distinctive trend with the government ... to put off painful decisions."
Yetter described himself as a conservative.
"Partisanship at the county level is reduced to rolling up your shirt sleeves and doing the public's business," he said.
Like other commission candidates, Yetter said the county government needs to improve on its communication with the public.
Both Yetter and Slater said they would wait for official results before deciding whether to make a general-election push.
Slater noted that with voter turnout less than 50 percent in the primary, results could easily change come November.
"There's a substantial number of voters out there that have yet to be heard," he said.

Stem Cells Show Promise for Stroke in Pilot StudyAugust 8, 2014 12:11 pm | Comments
A stroke therapy using stem cells extracted from patients' bone marrow has shown promising results in the first trial of its kind in humans. Four out of five patients had the most severe type of stroke: only four percent of people who experience this kind of stroke are expected to be alive and independent six months later. In the trial, all four of these patients were alive and three were independent after six months.
Grafted Stem Cells Show Dramatic Growth in Rat Spinal Cord InjuriesAugust 8, 2014 11:59 am | Comments
Scientists report that neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and grafted into rats after a spinal cord injury produced cells with tens of thousands of axons extending virtually the entire length of the animals' central nervous system. Scientist Paul Lu, PhD, said the axons extended through the white matter of the injury sites, frequently penetrating adjacent gray matter to form synapses with rat neurons.
Study: Laparoscopic Surgical Gallbladder Removal Safe for ChildrenAugust 8, 2014 11:40 am | Comments
A recent study conducted by Mayo Clinic researchers recommends laparoscopic cholecystectomies (surgical removal of the gallbladder) for pediatric patients suffering from gallstones and other gallbladder diseases. The study analyzed 202 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed on children below 18 years of age between the years 1990 and 2010.
Disposable Biosensor May Help Determine Which Patients Can Be Fed After SurgeryAugust 8, 2014 11:22 am | Comments
A disposal, plastic listening device that attaches to the abdomen may help doctors definitively determine which post-operative patients should be fed and which should not, an invention that may improve outcomes, decrease healthcare costs and shorten hospital stays. If successful the device could also be used to help diagnose irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to helping obese people lose weight.
Judge Tosses Suit Claiming Botched CircumcisionAugust 8, 2014 11:06 am | Comments
A judge threw out a lawsuit filed by an Alabama man who claims a botched circumcision resulted in the amputation of his penis, ruling Thursday that the complaint wasn't specific under state malpractice law. Johnny Lee Banks Jr., 59, has numerous health problems including diabetes that have led to the amputation of his legs. Attorneys for the doctors and hospital contend the medical procedure alleged in the suit never happened.
Cell Mechanics May Prove Vital in Cancer BehaviorAugust 7, 2014 12:00 pm | Comments
Cancer cells that break away from tumors to go looking for a new home may prefer to settle into a soft bed, according to new findings from researchers at the University of Illinois. Some particularly enterprising cancer cells can cause a cancer to spread to other organs, called metastasis, or evade treatment to resurface after a patient is thought to be in remission.
Study: Cell Regulation Gene Causes Kidney Cancer in ChildrenAugust 7, 2014 11:40 am | Comments

Comments about TC Electronic Flashback Delay:
It's great because there are so many different delay options, it's very simple to use, and the tone print feature adds even more options! The low fi and the reverse settings are my favorites. I like that they have a small version of this pedal, and it fits easily on my board!

Comments about TC Electronic Flashback Delay:
Love all the delay options. The ping pong is my favorite setting, It's also cool that you can use it in stereo and it's small and compact it's perfect when you don't have alot of space on your pedal board. It's also true bypass so it won't eat into your tone.

June 10, 2013, 6:41 PM — Read any good spy stories lately? It's all I've been doing for the past five days. Thanks to a 29-year-old disgruntled security geek named Edward James Snowden, we all know quite a bit more about what our nation's spies are probably doing than we did just a few days ago.
While the details are still sketchy and the stories often contradictory, just about all of the paranoid conspiracy theories you've heard about the NSA and the 15 different spy organizations underneath its umbrella appear to be true. There's enough material here for half a dozen LeCarre novels or at least one more Jason Bourne movie.
According to Snowden, any NSA agent with sufficient clearance can call up the phone, Internet, financial, and other activities of any American, anywhere in the world, going back for years. In a video interview with The Guardian, Snowden made the following claim:
I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authority to wiretap anyone – from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if I had a personal email….
Even if you're not doing anything wrong you're being watched and recorded.…. It's getting to the point you don't have to have done anything wrong, you simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody – even by a wrong call – and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you've ever made, every friend you've ever discussed something with, and attack you on that basis to sort of derive suspicion from an innocent life and paint anyone in the context of a wrongdoer.
Even if Snowden is exaggerating or lying – and I don't think he is – those sentences should make you reconsider your use of electricity in all forms.
Let me simplify the issues. There are really only two things you need to worry about. One is accidental mistakes; the other is intentional mistakes.
The Accidental Terrorist
As we know from Snowden's first leak, for at least the past seven years the NSA has been hoovering up metadata from our phone records – who we called, when we called, and where we were when we made the calls. In other words, if you are a heavy cell phone user, the NSA could make a pretty thorough map of your movements over time, if it chose to.

New Team Fortress 2 Content Scheduled for Mid-April; Includes Goldrush, New Weapons, Meet The ScoutBy Nick Breckon and Chris Faylor, Mar 26, 2008 2:04pm PDT The next batch of free content for the PC edition of Team Fortress 2--including the new Goldrush map, unlockable weapons, and Meet the Scout video--is slated to arrive the week of April 20, developer Valve has informed Shacknews.
Outside of that general timeframe, a specific release date for the new content was not provided.
Goldrush will mark the first map in a new game mode called "Payload," which will task the Blue team with herding a mine cart full of explosives toward the Red base. The more players near the cart, the faster it will move, the Red team winning if it prevents Blue from reaching its goal. The map will also be the first to utilize the cinematic physics technology from Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
Though unlockable weapons will eventually spread to all classes, the Medic class will be the first to receive new armament. According to a recent IGN interview, a total of three new items will be available, unlocked by earning a set number of the new class-specific achievements.
While Valve had discussed an Overhealer gun that would double a target's health, the studio is currently testing a Medic gun that, once charged, will guarantee targets ten seconds of continuous critical hits.
Valve previously explained that the unlockable items would be equipped via a new loadout menu, suggesting that gamers will not be able to easily swap between the new tools in the midst of battle.

By: Tropicaliac x Show Full PostAs excited as I am about these updates, I can't help but feel that the main reason TF2 is dying so fast is because it takes so long with it's updates. Games have a natural decay in popularity, and only the best games last 5+ years before dying out. If each update takes as long as this one, I don't see them getting to a third or fourth one before the game's community leaves.
Any news on why the delay is so long?
Aside from that, I think it's awesome that they still keep the game incredibly balanced while not losing any of it's fun.Apr 26, 2008 1:48pm PDT
By: Rockforce80 x Show Full PostDo they now it is past near April and quickly approaching late April?Apr 18, 2008 1:28pm PDT
By: boulder94 x Show Full PostTF2 is sinking like a stone. Brilliant style, but stubborn and neutered gameplay.
The game continues to sink in the daily averages:
Valve knows the #1 complaint is crits. So what do they do? They add even more crit damage with the uber. The only way this new medic weapon works is if they remove the random crits from every player.
But what's wrong with the game? A bunch of things.
1. Brown desert industiral environment in every map. Boring, tedious and unimaginative.
2. Static control points have been a failure(especially in linear maps). This game seriously needs more CTF, some Hunted, some flag-run, etc. The current capture system is boring.
3. Not enough weapons. All too often TF2 turns into Shotgun Wars. And the shotguns aren't all that interesting looking or sounding save for the Scout's. Need more depth.
4. Invisible map walls. Why punish players for trying to be creative and finding new things which extend lifespan of game?
5. Respawn times. These are a crutch. Make the maps bigger and get rid of them. Walking across a map with potential for a skirmish is more fun than sitting in a respawn.
6. Splitting the community with a custom tab and regular tab. Not a smart move.
I'd like to see Valve admit their mistakes and fix some of these problems. TFC was a much more popular game at this point in it's release, and it took FAR less work than this.

By: MAbans x Show Full PostI've never seen more people who are more unhappy with a game that still play it.
The crits can be touch and go but from what I see from tourney play they take it out to make it more about team than random. Sadly you can't expect that same level of coordination on a pub server, hence the crits. It makes perfect sense if the best player that is helping move the team forward gets taken out. It changes the entire attack. Some of my most memorable moments haven't been me shooting off a crit.
Content wise there could be more maps but their approach have always been different, start with a base then grow from there. Every game with tons of maps always end up end having a small amount of the large content played. the only games I've seen that force players to play all their maps have been usually on consoles. In PC world where we have a freedom to choose what game we will most like choose a map we enjoy to play the most. If you have a place to eat then you have a favorite map to play. (Mine is Lazytown Night Time). As for gametypes, at this point it's just the internet hate machine just churing away, Counter-Strike has 2 game types. Bomb and Hostage, the match almost always ends in a DM scenario. Interesting isn't it?
Now for those that for some sociopathic reason are getting off on the decline of a game that most likely you are not FORCED to play. I'm inclined to believe most of those who give this game proverbial "shit" are purist. It's dumb and almost always outdated thinking. Look at your parents, look at how they look at you when you dress how you do, or listen to the music you do or even are puzzled by a computer and hate it. That's you, only you are doing it with a game. This is not TFC this is TF2, you can play TFC, if it doesn't last forever then it doesn't. Just like one day TF3 may come out and the cycle starts all over.Mar 27, 2008 11:35am PDTI've never seen more people who are more unhappy with a game that still play it.

By: progressor x Show Full PostI want to upgrade the bone saw to a katana. Then, MOUSE2 can "charge" at the opponent with 2x scout speed, impaling the opponents on the sword.
Also, Pyro's flamethrower could use a range boost :) If you've ever seen flamethrowers in action, they actually have long range -- because the ignition liquid can be thrown in a long arc. It might be pretty challenging to aim that.
It would be awesome if the HWGuy had a mode where he shoots pipebombs from his minigun; at the same rate the gun fires normal bullets :) I mean, just for a few seconds, and you have to charge up some meter for that. Or, the HWGuy can run at normal speeds while firing.
For scout, it's all about upgrading the number of mid-air jumps the scout might be able to do.
For the spy, the upgrades should let him keep his disguise if no other player of the victim's team actually sees the act of stabbing.
Although a cooler spy upgrade would replace the knife with a "syringe," which would paralyze the stabbed enemy player and prevent them from using their weapons for 20 seconds or so. The syringe should also work on Ubered players...
For the demo, maybe he could upgrade his pipebombs to a "rubber" variety, with them bouncing around wildly. Of course, a demo could gain his multi grenade from TFC back.
The sniper's gun could become semi-automatic, with about 1/2 power of the full shot, but with higher rate of fire.
And, finally, the engineer could deploy a mini-tank version of its SG (upgrade to level 4) which can move around on tracks by remote control.
Man, I am titillated by the concept of the loadout screen and weapon variety. It might just be enough to make up for the lack of class-specific grenades.

By: mrmaster2 x Show Full PostJust a guess here but i think most of the bitching about it getting stale are from the same people who play the same class on the same map day in and day out.
When it started to feel a little 'stale' I switched from CTF to CP. I also started playing many different classes.
The game hasn't gotten stale for me but certainly look forward to the changes.Mar 27, 2008 7:17am PDT
By: blanktarget x Show Full PostI still enjoy TF2. I don't think classes die too easily if you don't rush headlong into guys, which you're nto suppose to do! Play to the strengths of the class. If you are a scout and run straight at a soldier or heavy, expect to sit a time out with a res timer.

Just kidding... I do miss armor and grenades though. The one thing I don't like about TF2 is that you die too quickly. The old games, unless you got sniped, you tended to last longer and that made for some interesting gameplay.
Or get rid of the damn respawn delay. Keep that action fast and furious and I won't care as much that I die more frequently than I used too.Mar 26, 2008 5:36pm PDT
By: okellyc x Show Full PostFor people that bitch about no or to little new maps coming out:
Making a map for a game like TF is ALOT harder then the likes of a DM map or a CTF map. at the moment im working on a CP (dustbowl type) map, and there are SO any things you have to take into accout and test.
1) Map Flow
2) Distance Defence and Offence have to run to balance the map one cant be able to run to far with out meeting someone else, other classes move slower.
3) SG placements, need area were it can cover exits but not be in clear line of sight to be taken down
4) Scout movement and jumping is almost 2 times more then other classes, have to make sure they cant get to some places but they can get to other places that ONLY a scout can
5) Demo men and Soilders can again get to places they should not be
6) Multi roots incase attackers get bogged down, but dont make the new root an easy win
7) Key control area were Attackers can set up a mini forward out post so they can build there TP and SG
so with out using any of the points listed im sure they could pump out maps every day.

By: Beady x Show Full PostThe game needs the capture methods changing to stop it from going stale. Right now, every map is pretty predictable because the fights are always in the same places around the CP's, and the game just turns into a team deathmatch around those CP's. There isnt any flow to the matches unless one team has a huge amount more coordination than the other.
Bring back the capture systems from TFC. Things like flag run, reverse flag run, territory control, instant capture etc. Those modes really make each map unique and with flags you get a mobile control point. Dustbowl has lost a lot of its charm because of the lack of a flag to run, its just turned into an uber rushing map (as have most, really)Mar 26, 2008 2:57pm PDTThe game needs the capture methods changing to stop it from going stale.

6/1992 (BGVN 17:06) Strong steaming
A six-member team of USGS volcanologists visited the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands 11-27 May 1992 at the request of the CNMI Office of Civil Defense. Vigorous steaming was occurring from several locations in the summit crater [of Asuncion] during observations from a helicopter on 18 May.
Information Contacts: R. Moore, USGS; R. Koyanagi, M. Sako, and F. Trusdell, HVO.
A single large asymmetrical stratovolcano, steeper on the NE side, forms 3-km-wide Asuncion Island. The steep NE flank of the 857-m-high volcano terminates in high sea cliffs. The gentler SW flanks have low-angle slopes bounded by sea cliffs only a few meters high. The southern flank of the volcano is cut by a large landslide scar. The southern flanks and western flanks of the volcano are mantled by ash deposits that may have originated during eruptions in historical time. An explosive eruption in 1906 also produced lava flows that descended about half way down the western and SE flanks, but several other historical eruption reports are of uncertain validity.
