NORFOLK-- In Hampton Roads, existing home sales are up for the third straight month.
According to September numbers from the Real Estate Information Network, local home prices are also up 8.2 percent over last year. More than 1000 existing homes sold in Hampton Roads in September.
Home-a-Rama can vouch for the figures. Eight of the nine of their new homes are already sold.
"I've talked to a good friend today who owns a lumber company and he is up 9 percent from last year. So I mean the bottom line is the economy will turn around when housing turns around," said Sam Cohen, President of the Tidewater Builders Association.

Thousands of Community College Students Rally against Fees
March 28th, 2004
Students rally against fees By Jake Henshaw
The Salinas Californian Capitol Bureau
SACRAMENTO -- Thousands of community college students from Salinas and across the state on Monday returned to the Capitol for a second year (see pictures) to complain that state policymakers continue to tarnish the Golden State's promise of higher education.
After suffering a 64 percent fee increase last year, community college students this year are facing a proposal for another 44 percent boost.
"The governor's proposals on fees are unacceptable," Assemblyman John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, told students with signs saying "Cut Fees, not Classes" and "Keep the Door Open."
Rally participants, who set up mannequins symbolizing students who dropped out after last year's fee increases, said additional increases will make it difficult for some students to continue and an inadequate budget will make it harder for them to get classes. "It will be really hard for me to come back" if fees go up, said Ruben Sanchez, 19, a sophomore at Hartnell College in Salinas, who said he also works as a door-to-door scheduler for window installation.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget calls for increasing fees from $18 per unit now to $26 for students without a degree. Last budget year, this fee was $11 per unit. Schwarzenegger proposes to increase General Fund support for community colleges from $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion.
The total budget for 2004-05 -- which also includes property taxes, federal and lottery funds, student fees and other revenue -- is $6.9 billion.
Community colleges are the only part of higher education that would get an increase under the governor's plan. The University of California and California State University face cuts as well as likely fee increases.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Cory Dixon had 12 points and 16 rebounds, as New Orleans knocked off the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team 70-62 on Saturday night at the American Bank Center. The Privateers defense held the Islanders (9-12, 6-2 Southland) to 19-for-55 from the field and created 17 Islanders' turnovers.
John Jordan scored 20 points and dished out seven assists, but went just 8-for-16 at the free-throw line in the loss. Jake Kocher added 10 points and six steals – the most since Kevin Palmer had seven on Dec. 22, 2008, against Georgia – for the Islanders. Joy Williamson added 11 points as well.

Hi Marlon,
Enjoying everything, especially Minded Motion, so thank you!!
The screendance festival I direct has just opened its submission call. To share that here, is the best place to post it in Events?
Thank you!
Thanks for setting up a great forum Marlon!
I would like to hear more from Corinne about how visual familiarity can be used to bootstrap embodied responses to different dance styles/techniques.
I would also like to know more about teaching/developing Underscore and contact-improvisational dance.
Can anyone direct me to online or print resources to help get started thinking about these things?
Marlon I was prompted finally to create my own account today because I spent some time with Suzon Fuks on her Water-wheel interactive platform and wanted to communicate with you. Please make some time to get a guided tour. She has done something really quite interesting...

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Appleton Police are still scratching their heads over a trail of blood found in the entry way of a business this past Saturday.
Police have confirm it was blood found in the 300 block of North Linwood Avenue, but initial tests can't determine if it's an animal or human.
The blood trail went for several blocks and into a wooded area.
Police say there have been no reports of anyone injured and authorities have checked local hospitals, warming shelters and with other law enforcement agencies in trying to find the source of the blood.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WHAS11) -- They came to Kentucky's Capitol with hundreds of people, dozens of causes and a call for action in the name of children.
"We want more than rhetoric around kids," said Terry Brooks, Executive Director of Kentucky Youth Advocates. "We want reality."
The 10th annual Children's Advocacy Day at the Capitol challenged Kentucky's elected leaders to "fund kids first in the next two year state budget and support the Blueprint for Kentucky's Children," a shared agenda for the disparate causes.
The agenda includes legislation on smoking, child abuse, air quality, supporting people who are raising their grandchildren, juvenile justice, a state Earned Income Credit, and increased government funding for child care.
"We want to lift the freeze on new applications, reverse last year's budget cuts and fully fund C-Cap," Adrienne Bush of Hazard Perry County Community Ministries told a child advocate rally. "Increase eligibility to 200 percent of the poverty line."
Governor Steve Beshear (D) has signaled his budget proposal will seek to restore education funding after previous cuts.
"It is very, very myopic to think that only supporting K-12 is supporting kids," Brooks said. "It assumes that kids come to school in sort of an isolated way. You can't begin to talk about progress in schools without talking about economic well being of families."
"We do not have enough money to fund these important programs that are being proposed here today," said Rep. Jim Wayne (D-Louisville). "The money's just not there."
Also Thursday, Wayne introduced a tax reform plan to address the budget shortfall.
"Not everything they asked for involves revenue from the state," said Sen. Morgan McGarvey (D-Louisville). "Some of the changes they are advocating here are for a healthier Kentucky that don't require money."
"And while not all of them may happen in this legislative session, we should begin pushing now to make sure we get the change we want," McGarvey added.
The child advocates also met with Governor Steve Beshear on Thursday ahead of his budget address next Tuesday where the hard realities of Kentucky's tight budget will likely again reveal themselves.

The Trek 2 Texas has become an annual pilgrimage to Houston for the World Import Challenge drag race. In the first go-around, the caravan consisted of editorial staff from Turbo and Sport Compact Car as well as advertising hounds from all of Primedia's International Group. The Trek is a five-day automotive adventure that covers about 2,000 miles in five days; the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is a hotly contested drag race.
The inaugural Trek was a blast, but the payoff was ruined by hurricane Allison, an oddity of nature that drenched Houston, floated out to sea, picked up steam and looped around to hit Houston again. It was a disaster.
To add insult to injury, Allison moved up the East Coast and rained out an event in the New York/New Jersey area two weeks later.
Last year's Trek had nine cars in it; Turbo was represented by our Lexus IS300, a car in which I pulled a Joey Chitwood and became airborne in while in the Ft. Worth area.
This year I asked Alex Shen of SP Engineering to join the Trek-and bring our December 2001 cover car, SP's Supra 7, along for the odyssey. This year's adventure would include six magazines and 11 cars.
A lot of wicked stuff can happen in 2,000 miles of open road. Turbo, Import Tuner, SCC, Honda Tuning, Car Audio and Auto Sound & Security made up the mags and Team Bergenholtz tagged along too. Ron Bergenholtz joined us with the Team Bergenholtz CRX and the A'PEXi EK Civic in his hauler. Jensen Oda from A'PEXi also made the Trek. Falken Tires tagged along as well with its truck and trailer combo. We had quite an impressive fleet.
Day 1Fleetwood RV RouteMonday, March 4I met the crew at SP Engineering at 7 a.m. Shen, Jason Reinholdt and Rex Kieu were ready. (The tuning sessions conducted on the Supra 7 before and after the Trek will be chronicled in a "Dyno Cell" article next month). The Supra 7 fires to life and the SP dually, which is serving as a support vehicle for shakedown passes the car will make in Houston, is primed to chase it across the Southwest.
The 7 has a wicked grumble at idle and a mean growl as it pulls away from a stoplight. We hit traffic en route to Irvine Mazda and since parking is at a premium, we wait for the Trek posse at a nearby Park and Ride lot.
Reinholdt is driving the 7 and I'm riding shotgun. Thank goodness the stock seats were installed. Lunch is scheduled for Blythe, Calif., right on the border. We arrive at Steaks & Cakes right on schedule. Many noted the meals got better with each day of the Trek. I'll say this: We started from as low as you can go.
The Supra 7 is beastly loud, even at cruise. Part of "The Experiment" is the 7's use of a Supra engine and tranny with a Mazda RX-7 rear end. Problem: The Supra runs a 3.23 final drive, while the RX-7 sports a 4.11. Result: Sixth gear, 75 mph equals 4,200 rpm.
That meant little rest for the engine and a mean drone for the eardrums. The car has no air conditioning, no fan and no radio. Outside, it wasn't too hot, but I found cool air vents in through the door handle area, cooling me off nicely. I enjoyed my discovery all the way to Phoenix.
We gathered for our first PR stop, Earnhardt Mazda in Chandler, Ariz., and entered in formation. Two hours later, we hit the road again to our evening layover in Flagstaff, Ariz. As we climbed to 7,000 feet, I cursed the door handle area for letting in frosty late night air. I lost the feeling in my upper legs and my right leg was numb to the ankle.
The engine loved every minute-staying cool as the Supra 7 scales each peak like a champ. Arriving in Flagstaff, I hurriedly checked in and once in my room, I stuffed the hair dryer down my pants. My ears ring for two hours before I finally fall asleep.
Day 2Direct Hits RouteTuesday, March 5Target-Gallup, N.M. for lunch. We arrived at the Cracker Barrel restaurant for lunch and the Supra 7, though covered with bugs and road grime, was running like a top. After the meal, we hung out in the parking lot with four or five locals who have gathered around the 7.
Amazingly, they knew the car as the Supra 7-in Gallup! After signing T-shirts and Turbo calendars, we're off to Albuquerque.
We stopped at the Hinkle Family Fun Center where Direct Hits reserved the go-kart track for us. After a quick detail of the cars and an impromptu car show with some of the local imports, it's off to the races. It becomes readily apparent the number 17 cart has a big power advantage and the number 10 is the runt of the litter. Alex dominates in his heat taking a first place. I get the 10 kart. 'Nuff said.

"Hi. I'm the dead girl in the alley," said Carolyn Gale.
At the moment, she was the waitress behind the bar, it being lunchtime at the Tavern. But sometime before Christmas, she will be on the back cover of the next Shallow End Gals' novel, as she requested.
"She insisted that if we're taking photos, she's going to be the dead lady in the alley," said Vicki Graybosch, the books' lead author. "We said, 'We don't even have a dead lady in the alley in the book.' She said, 'You do now.'"
Here at this pub on a homey block in Niles, Mich., pretty much everyone has a part in the Shallow End Gals' books.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Erika Canter, a local company business manager eating a burger at a booth, is the friend they hired to be their editor. And bartender Sadie Corban wasn't going to be left out.
"One day I told Vicki I wanted to be in the book," she said. "Next thing I knew, I was Spicey the Voodoo Mistress."
Sitting at the bar's L-shaped end, which gave rise to their nickname, were the self-published authors — the Shallow End Gals. They are a group of women friends who have been lunching together at the Tavern, a mainstay of this small town in southwest Michigan 100 miles from Chicago, for years.
They aren't writers by profession. Graybosch, 62, the lead writer, is a retired mortgage originator. Linda McGregor, 61, is a mortgage broker and the zoning administrator for Howard Township. Teresa Duncan, 52, works on a deployment team for UPS. Kimberly Troutman, 42, is a mortgage loan officer, a dealer at Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo and Graybosch's daughter. Mary Hale, a member of the group until her death last February, was a retired schoolteacher.
But they were talkers. "There's a constant flood of conversation, with all of them talking at the same time," Gale said.
One day a couple sitting in a nearby booth overheard them, Graybosch said. "They came up to us and said, 'You know, you guys should either write a book or get help.' We just looked at each other and said, 'Let's write a book.'"
They wrote three in 18 months — a trilogy that ranges from South Bend, Ind., to New Orleans, encompasses 1,300 pages and features a cast of more than 50 characters, many based on (and named for) people in Niles. Including themselves, albeit themselves in the hereafter.
The first book opens with four women friends — the authors by their real first names — getting killed in a car crash, except for Kim. They come back as "somewhat unready angels," Graybosch puts it. They have to go through angel training, which includes helping "mortals." And the mortals they are assigned to help — with assistance from Kim, the only mortal who can hear and see them — are two FBI agents trying to solve crimes including serial murder, drug trafficking and child pornography.
The crimes are heinous, but the narrative can be humorous. The series is "a police procedural/paranormal/comedy/drama," Canter said.
Turning themselves into characters has its perils. Kim Troutman is not always pleased with her mother's writing, and not because of its style.
"She makes me look stupid," she said.
"She does not," McGregor said.
"She got me arrested," Troutman countered.
"Oh. Well, that was kind of funny," McGregor said. (In the third book, bystanders call police because they hear Kim complaining to her angel mother, whom no one else can see, that she is tired of hearing about murder all the time.)
The Shallow End Gals have sold nearly 8,000 books, including e-books and paperbacks, through Amazon. Several movie production studies have asked for their contact information, though none has gotten in touch. The women are working on a fourth book (featuring one of the trilogy's characters).

There was a total of 13 family members on this cruise to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary! There were three kids under 18 years of age 17, 14, 13. We all were able to sit together for dinner each night without a fuss. Our waiter Ernesto was great! He sang and danced for us (and made my niece and I dance and do the conga line with him also!)
There was also a lot to keep us busy during the day, "Newlywed" games,deck games, pool games, bingo, waterslide, basketball,game room,card room, shuffleboard, ping pong and of course the pools! (which is where my honey and I spent every day soaking up the sun!)There were three pools on this ship. The one at the back of the ship was reserved for adults only and they really enforced that rule (my poor niece)!
Our favorite night entertainment was Billies Piano Bar. This was a lot of fun!!! Mark the piano man was great! He was very friendly and outgoing and got all of us to sing our requests.
San Juan was our first port of call, got there around 3 p.m. too late to do any beach stuff, walked the town a little and visited the Hard Rock Cafe. We didn't like that port of call a real lot.
Tortola was our next stop, what a beautiful place. We took the shore excursion to Virgin Gorda. Wow! You had to walk down a trail to get to the beach, it was well worth it! There were boulders the sizes of houses, caves in which you could walk through with sea pools. The snorkeling here was much better than St Thomas, the water was much clearer.
All in all we had a wonderful time, Carnival is a great cruise line in my book. We have never had any problems at all. Can't wait to go again!

Still the store should be responsible for the defense of its employees if it prevents them from bearing arms to defend themselves or they should be liable for the consequences.
To what extent should the store be liable? Let's imagine drawing up such a law:
What would be the nature of protection required?
What would be the minimum standard for that protection?
What agency exists (or would have to be created) to regulate and certify that protection?
Would the store have to foot the bill for said protection?
Would the store be prohibited from cutting employees or wages in order to pay for such protection?
Would the store be liable if the employee was harmed despite said protections?
If so, how would damages be calculated?
In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Portrait by Malick Sidibé (March 1971) from the new book Malick Sidibé: The Portrait of Mali (Skira)
"Sidibé's photographs cover the period of the early1960s through the 1980s, making these volumes a discourse on the continuity of people, photography, and portraiture created in Mali from colonialism to revolution to dictatorship. Democracy was finally established, but that was after these photographs were taken, so what we are looking at is people living in the shadows and aftermath of French occupation.
…a paperback book that offers us a look both inside and outside the photographer's studio. Sidibé's work is taken after colonial occupation ended and we see the people of Bamako creating themselves as in a new world. It is a space where traditions of the past meet the opportunities of the present, where one can create themselves in the space between. Sidibé's portraits have an emotional intensity that can only be ascribed to the space in between the photographer and the subject, that one moment in time where eyes connected and energy was shared, and the spirit of life is forever caught on silver gelatin paper.
In going outside the studio, Malick Sidibé: The Portrait of Mali shows us a larger world, an environment and a context into which these people appear. We see Mali through the eyes of one of its citizens, and the Mali he knows is not the Mali that is reported to the world. This is a place of power and beauty and style, and though it may be among the poorest nations in the world, you cannot put a price on pride."

Georgia State running backs coach Joe Hamilton offered this analysis of the three running backs that will likely split most of the carries in this week's game at James Madison. As you may know, running back Donald Russell sprained the MCL in his left knee in last week's loss to Villanova and will miss the remainder of the season.
Hamilton said one back won't carry the ball 20-25 times.
"I'll have to put the right back into the right situation to be more successful," he said.
He said he doesn't yet know which back will get more reps. He said that will likely be decided by who practices better.
Coach Bill Curry said the offense won't change much with the loss of Russell, saying that the other running backs are capable to stepping in.
Offensive coordinator John Bond said all three are very good receivers coming out of the backfield, which is a skill they hope use Saturday.
"Travis brings a lot of energy, obviously experience. One thing I like about Travis is he's all into the game. He's a football player, a football junkie. He loves to play football. He gives you a lot of work ethic. He knows the offense, he's been in the offense all four years.
"I don't think he's very elusive though he made some people miss last week. His strength is hitting the hole, energizing the team and overall being a positive leader."
Evans has 61 rushing yards and two touchdowns this year.
"Rosevelt Watson, he's really the glue of my running back group. Russell is obviously a leader but he led with his play on the field and his work ethic. Rosevelt is a positive leader, a a vocal leader, consistent player. You want him to be more fast, you want him to be more elusive, but he will consistently give you the design of the play going through his reads. He's a positive influence. He cares about the team."
Watson has 85 rushing yards this year.
"Parris Lee is a scatback guy who needs to be in space. Being in between the tackles isn't his strong suit. Getting him outside where he can make people miss is his strong suit."
Lee has 27 rushing yards this year.
"We have Malcolm Smith back there. He's played a few times. I'll look at Rendell Wilder."

At this point, what does any of this matter? We are gonna get stomped into the ground 3 more times and then it's a completely brand new start.

If Evans or Watson are in the backfield, and its a run situation, JMU should stuff the line between the tackles.
If its Lee, look for an outside run.
Got it.
Thanks for the game plan, Coach.

AskMen.com gives their list of 10 guys who they think have a chance to beat Brock Lesnar. Here's their list, in their order, with my take on each fighter's chances.
10. Bobby Lashley - This one would be a bit of a freak show, but Lashley's wrestling and ridiculous size might give him a chance.
9. Brett Rogers - He definitely has knockout power, but I don't think that his overall skill set is nearly good enough to beat Lesnar.
8. Frank Mir - I'd love to see it happen, and Frank's jiu jitsu is definitely good enough, but Brock dominated him in their first fight, until Frank caught his ankle, and then crushed him in their second fight. Brock has no jiu jitsu skills to speak of, but he has learned enough to keep himself out of dangerous situations, and is just too physically dominant for Mir.
7. Junior Dos Santos - He's young, and an incredibly talented striker. If he could stay off the ground and convince Lesnar to stand and strike with him, he has a chance to catch him.
6. Randy Couture - I like Randy a lot, but I honestly don't think he has a chance at this point in his career. His biggest strength is his wrestling, and Brock's wrestling is better.
5. Alistair Overeem - Overeem is quick, but I think some people forget just how quick Lesnar is, as well. I think Lesnar could neutralize Overeem's speed, and use his size and wrestling skills to ground and pound him.
4. Cain Velasquez - Much like Lesnar, he's an incredible wrestler. So I think he might be able to neutralize Brock's wrestling, and I think he has a striking advantage as well, so he would actually have a decent chance, in my opinion.
3. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - Big Nog's toughness could allow him to pull off the upset. He has only gotten finished once, and he has the ability to take an incredible amount of damage and still win a fight. That alone might give him a chance.
2. Shane Carwin - He's close to Lesnar's size, and also has great wrestling skills, and his striking ability makes him as dangerous as anyone.
1. Fedor Emelianenko - Fedor's overall skills are insane, and he has shown that he can beat men who are much bigger than him, even when he's on his back. I would never count out Fedor. I think Brock would still win, but Fedor definitely has the best chance.
In the end, someone will eventually beat Lesnar. But don't hold your breath and hope that it will happen very soon. He's not like Tim Sylvia, who used mere size advantage to slop his way through fights. Like him or not, Brock Lesnar is a great wrestler with incredible size, speed and athleticism. It will take a great performance by a great fighter to finally beat him.

dear Toronto:
Please come to JUST KIDDING tonight.
It's at a bar called the Black Swan, just a little ways east of Broadview and Danforth.
It costs $10 for students, $12 for regular folks.
It'll consist of funny people reading material they wrote when they were kids.
And 100% of the proceeds are benefiting the LGBT Youthline, truly one of the more worthy causes I can think of.
I'll be there and so will my boyfriend. COME LAUGH WITH US!
there was a thread on reddit tonight asking women what interests/skills/talents they find instantly sexy in a man.
i said: playing a musical instrument/being interested in music, being a good writer, involvement in theatre and/or improv.
apparently people liked my comment because it got a lot of upvotes… but several people (men) commented to say some variation of, "your ideal man is gay."
look, i don't care how "funny" you think that is - it's factually incorrect and it's also disgusting to say that.
i went to an arts high school, and honestly? there weren't even that many gay guys there. i don't even think there was necessarily a higher proportion of male queerness at my school than there was in the real world, which i guess would be surprising to some people.
but it's not surprising to me. an interest in the arts is not a "feminine" quality. humans are, as a rule, interested in the arts. that's why the arts have survived this long in our collective culture.
i can honestly say that i see no correlation in my own life between guys who are gay and guys who are interested in the arts. my own boyfriend, who is the straightest guy i know, is a pixel artist, has a strong interest in music, and comes with me to improv shows regularly. my brother, who's primarily straight, plays more than 4 different musical instruments, writes his own songs, and even takes theatre history classes at school. and there were a bunch of boys on the improv team i coached, and the teams i was a part of in high school, who were straight, as far as i'm aware (liam, sasa, nick, connor, stefan, alex) but are nonetheless brilliant improvisors and very much interested in that side of theatre. many of them even pursue theatre in other ways (i know nick, for example, was in summerworks last year, stefan is at actors' college, and connor was considering going into theatre tech as a profession).
i think some straight guys accuse artsy guys of being gay because they're jealous of that artsiness. and they have a right to be jealous of that, because artsy guys are incredibly sexy and desirable and interesting and wonderful. but not all of them are gay. in fact, maybe one-tenth of the guys i met in my theatre classes were even a little bit gay.
(plus, who the fuck cares if i want to date a guy who's "a little bit gay" anyway? i've dated two bi guys and there really is no practical difference, incase any biphobic stereotypin' motherfuckers are out there and are convinced that bi guys can't be good boyfriends to ladies. they can.)
This happened. And Kathleen drew it. And it's awesome.
Yeah. My high school's improv team occasionally got up to some ill-advised hi-jinks. We were cool kids. That's what happens when you always "yes and."
Listen. Say yes. Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often. Don't start a scene where two people are talking about jumping out of a plane, start the scene having already jumped. If you're scared, look into your partner's eyes. You will feel better.
Amy Poehler on how improv lessons apply to life
I need your help!
I've been doing this exercise called Fast Food Stanislavski with the kids in my improv club.
Basically, the game consists of giving each player (there are two) a motive or intention for the scene, without telling them what the other player's conflicting intention is.
Then they improvise a scene using these motives, being as creative & varied as possible in the ways they try to get the other player to do what they want.
e.g. Player A has planned a surprise party for Player B. The party is in the other room. A wants B to go into the other room, but all B wants to do is seduce A & keep him/her in the bedroom for sexytymez.
e.g. Player A is going to propose to Player B, & has hidden an engagement ring in the food. B secretly loathes A's food & doesn't want to eat it because it gives him/her stomach cramps.
e.g. Player A is an alcoholic, has had a hard day at work, & just wants to drink the booze that they've hidden in the bathroom. Player B has just found said booze, & wants to keep A away from it.
I'm having trouble thinking of more scenarios like this that would work. Any ideas, Tumblr?
getting back into the swing of things
Today I started my new job running the improv club/team at my old high school. It feels weird even referring to it as a "job" because a) the time commitment is only 2-3 hours a week & b) it's something I love so much, I would gladly do it for free (& was intending on asking if I could do so, when I was offered the position as a paid opportunity).
It felt so, so good to return to Rosedale. I think coaching the team is an excellent thing for me to be doing during my gap year, because it'll make the transition from high school to "real life" a bit smoother - I didn't have to completely say goodbye to my beloved school when I graduated from it in June. That knowledge was enough to keep me from completely falling apart on my last day.
After a somewhat depressing week spent job-hunting, making half-hearted plans, & fretting about my decision to take a year off, this afternoon was an absolute ray of sunshine. I got to go to my old cafeteria & play drama games with a bunch of enthusiastic high school students for an hour. That probably sounds like some people's idea of hell, but to me it was indescribably wonderful. The improv environment, particularly at Rosedale, is a place where my dogged introversion seems to fall right off me like a heavy coat. I was trained to treat improv club as a place where we leave our hang-ups at the door & embrace others like they're our best friends already; this is an attitude I intend to bring with me as coach, because it has helped me so much.
Despite how desperately lost I felt this past week, I think improv is going to bring me back to being me again. Not just Rosedale improv, but also the professional classes I'm considering taking. My grade 12 sociology teacher, Joel Gottlieb, always a fountain of wisdom, frequently told us, "When you do something & the rest of the world disappears, you know that that's the thing you should be spending your life doing." The rest of the world disappears when I do improv, or even when I'm just watching improv. I don't know if it's something I want to spend my life doing, but I feel immensely privileged to be doing it now.

Petro, Pamela
Adult Nonfiction GR108 .P47 2002
Summary: Stories provide the connective tissue of the South. The intrepid Pamela Petro drives from the Carolinas to the Appalachians to the Atlantic seaboard, from Virginias valleys to Louisiana's swamps to meet the mesmerizing guardians of its history: the storytellers, who often double as local, or national, treasures. A gifted listener, Petro records how stories originate as well as how they are passed down. She paints vivid portraits of the tellers while compiling tales about Jack the trickster, boo-hags and plat-eyes, ghosts, and singing turtles. The story of the South is not finished. Petro's revelatory investigation into its oral culture is as intoxicating as it is fun.

Migration Studies
Migration Studies is a new multi-disciplinary refereed journal from Oxford University Press. It will publish work that significantly advances our understanding of the determinants, processes and outcomes of human migration in all its manifestations.
The Journal of the Institute of Latvia's History (Latvijas Vēstures Institūta Žurnāls) invites article submissions for a Special Issue to appear at the end of 2013.
The topic of this Special Issue is the role of diaspora from Latvia and Latvians in national and international politics since the mid-19th century. We invite submissions that discuss various instances of either self-identified Latvians or groups from Latvia that resided outside of Latvia's territory engaging in political processes in their host countries and on international scale.
We are also interested in articles that explore political collaborations that Latvian or Latvia-related diaspora developed with other ethnic groups. Our goal is to generate empirical evidence as well as develop a broad historical/sociological analysis of the diverse political affiliations, engagements and activities of Latvian and Latvia-related diaspora. We also welcome historiographic and conceptual articles offering new scholarly perspectives on analyzing politics in Latvian and Latvia-related diaspora.
Articles both in English and Latvian are welcome. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2013. For further information and article submissions please contact Ieva Zake (Rowan University) at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ineta Lipsa (Latvian Academy of Sciences) at email@example.com.

Police have cut deals with gang bangers and criminals to get illegal guns off the street before, but Michael Holton says he's neither of those--yet the Evergreen Park police tried to force him to find a weapon he doesn't have.
He insists there's nothing in his background that would lead police to believe he had access to a gun whatsoever.
Michael Holton is a father of four who sells insurance for a living. On Tuesday, he was driving eastbound on 87th Street in Evergreen Park, when police pulled him over for a broken light. They found he was driving on a suspended license, so they had his car impounded and took him to the Evergreen Park police station. That's where Holton says the officers proposed a curious deal.
"The officer proceeded to tell me if I could produce a gun or see to it that they got a gun I could have my car back and be released," Holton says. "I looked at him like he was crazy because, where am I supposed to get a gun from?"
Holton says the officers wrote their names on this piece of paper along with the number of the police station, and told him to call them after he dropped a gun in a dumpster just over the border in Chicago.
"I don't use guns. I don't like guns. I don't own one," Holton explains. "He proceeded at that point like, 'look you can make a phone call, call a family member or a friend, see if somebody could get a gun. That way, I can come back to my chief and tell him we took a gun off the street and you helped us out.'"
Evergreen Park police deny the story. They say it was Holton who tried to cut a deal after getting arrested: "he asked if he offered any information or assistance to the officers could he get some help on the ticket."
Holton was released on a signature bond. He says he called us because he's furious police assumed he's a criminal.
"I'm a father. I have four children and yes I want to see guns taken off the street," Holton says. "If that's their form of community policing, they need to find another method."
Evergreen Park police say they won't launch an investigation until Holton makes a formal complaint. Holton says he plans to do that and hire a lawyer.

The 49ers' biggest decision in the offseason won't involve the April draft or possible free-agent signings.
Should the 49ers make the best deal they can and send Alex Smith packing? Or should they keep him as a backup to starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick?
ESPN reported last week that the trade market for Smith is "limited" and there's "not a large buzz" with teams searching for a starting quarterback.
If true, that's surprising considering how well Smith played before he went down because of a concussion and was replaced by Kaepernick.
On the one hand, Smith was considered a bust until Jim Harbaugh became the 49ers' coach and designed a game plan that fit Smith's strengths as a "safe" quarterback, one who would protect the ball and make few mistakes. There's a school of thought that Harbaugh made Smith successful and he's not a top-tier NFL starter.
On the other hand, Smith is 19-5-1 as a starter over the past two seasons, he led the 49ers within a muffed punt return of the Super Bowl in 2011 and he completed 70.2 percent of his passes and had a 104.1 passer rating in 2012 before he was injured.
If the market for Smith really has grown bearish, the 49ers should keep him, despite his $7.5 million price tag for the 2013 season. Smith has proven he's a team guy, someone who won't bellyache about playing time.
And every time Kaepernick takes off with the ball, there's a chance he could get hit so hard he has to leave the game. If that happens, it would be nice to have a quarterback with Smith's experience ready to step in.

This morning on the way to work, I passed a billboard that I've probably passed countless times before. For some reason, I never really noticed it like I did today. It was for Basketville in Putney, Vermont. And all I could think of is that right out front, Justin Timberlake is dressed up in a giant ridiculous basket costume, pressing play on a boombox, singing basket-related lyrics to some kind of current pop hit like Ke$ha's Tik Tok, and then shouting, "Bring it on down to Basketville!" All thanks to the Omeletteville skit from years ago, and then the follow-up, Homelessville:
Yes, these are the things that go through my head on the drive to work…

The Betty White episode of SNL was so good. Betty was in almost every sketch and just absolutely killed it. Even some of the weirder sketches were saved by Betty White's superb comedic timing. Unfortunately, there were a few long-time favorites that didn't get a chance to make it to the actual show.
One of the unseen sketches (except by people attending the rehearsal show) was a Debbie Downer sketch featuring Rachel Dratch and all the rest of the Will-Ferrel-era SNL alum that came back for the special Mother's Day show: Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. It also features Kristen Wiig and of course, a small role by Betty White as Debbie Downer's grandma.
Another rehearsal only sketch that they did was Bronx Beat, featuring Maya Rudolph and (a pregnant) Amy Poehler:
Pool Noodle!

So if you're like me, if you're home on a Saturday night you get settled in for Saturday Night Live, convincing yourself that you're actually going to stay up to watch it until 1am. This week Betty White is hosting, with musical guest Jay-Z (or as Betty says, "Jayze"). May 8th, 2010 = SNL history.
I have a feeling this will be one of those memorable episodes and will likely feature a bunch of cameos. Of course, there will also be the obligatory Golden Girls skit. Who will play Bea Arthur's character? I predict Andy Samberg.
NBC has some promos for this upcoming weekend's episode featuring Betty White and Kristen Wiig.

Imagine my joy when SNL featured a Digital Short this past weekend of my favorite track off the Lonely Island CD, Boombox. Julian Casablancas from the Strokes appears, as he provided vocals for the song. The video pretty much tells the story I envisioned in my head, and any song and/or video that references the 1990 hit Do the Bartman is aces in my book.

The Jennifer Lopez classic Love Don't Cost a Thing was on Mix 93.1 earlier today while I was working, and it reminded me of when the song first came out. I've always thought she says, "think I work at CVS, I don't" at one point. I know those aren't the actual lyrics, though. In fact, I don't think I know what the actual lyrics are. After a quick google search, I've determine they must be, "think you gotta keep me iced, you don't".
Regardless, it's a stupid song. As if J-Lo would work at a Consumer Value Store. And did anyone see her performances on SNL recently? What was THAT all about?

That's right, The Golden Girls' own Rose Nylund… the incomparable Betty White, is slated to host the May 8th "Mother's Day episode" of SNL! That this didn't happen sooner is perhaps life's biggest mystery.
Betty's self-deprecating humor and quick wit is sure to be a great match for Saturday Night Live, and we're excited to see what is likely going to be one of the more memorable SNL episodes.
According to People, "…the special Mother's Day episode will also reunite six former female SNL cast members, most of whom happen to be moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch." While the 88 year old Betty White is not actually a mom herself, she is perhaps "a mother of great comedy". That's good enough for us.
How did this happen? A Facebook fan page titled "Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!" creeped up soon after a Snickers commercial featuring Betty White getting tackled in a muddy football game aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. A groundswell of support and petitioning of Lorne Michaels made it all happen!

Imagine being at a high school dance, singing along with everybody else…" and a little bit softer now… and a little bit softer now…"
Lately it seems like I'm running into more and more people who just can't tone it down a notch and use their inside voices. It reminded me of this awesome Will Ferrell character from SNL. How many people do you know who are like this?
How dare you! I have a voice related medical condition!

The Snickers commercial featuring the incomparable Betty White and the adorable Abe Vigoda was probably one of the best commercials shown during the 2010 Super Bowl. It really looked like they got tackled pretty hard! Featuring their new tagline, "You're Not You When You're Hungry", I can only hope this is a sign of more commercials featuring Betty White.
Betty White has always been hilarious, from her days on Golden Girls to her various appearances on talk shows and small roles on tv shows. Betty White fans have recently created a Facebook fan page called Betty White to Host SNL (Please?)! which has over 70,000 fans and counting. We at Songspeak agree. She'd be a perfect SNL host.

Pretty amazing spoof of Alec Baldwin's Oscar Winning performance in Glengarry Glen Ross if you ask me. I love how he accidentally slips into the original script for a second when he goes through the ABCs.

Patrick Swayze lost his battle with cancer yesterday, and though he will be recalled for his roles in Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, and Ghost, his appearance on SNL is probably my favorite memory of his career.
Set to Working For The Weekend by Loverboy, this amazingly choreographed performance by Mr. Patrick Swayze and the great Chris Farley always brings a smile to our faces here at Songspeak.
