|Governor's Tower
|General information
|Chronological and political information
The governor's tower in the Artisan colony served as the headquarters of Governor Roshti during the Clone Wars. Some time during the war the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded Kiros and this tower became the headquarters of Separatist Commander Darts D'Nar.
When the forces of the Republic arrived to stop the Separatist takeover, the tower was the location of the negotiations between Darts D'Nar and Obi-Wan Kenobi. D'Nar forced Kenobi to surrender with the threat of bombs around the city. Kenobi tricked D'Nar into fighting him in hand-to-hand combat, according to Zygerrian tradition, until the bombs were disabled, at which point Kenobi tried to force D'Nar to surrender. D'Nar, however, set off an explosive in his tactical droid, who Kenobi Force pushed out of the window. D'Nar escaped while Kenobi was distracted, but he was captured before he could leave the planet.
Behind the scenesEdit
The structure of the tower is in the shape of a Togruta head.

Jobs set to go at a Rotorua plastic packaging plant may be absorbed by the company's Hamilton premises.
The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) says Sealed Air has told workers it intends to phase down production in Rotorua and close the plant by the middle of next year.
EPMU's manufacturing industry organiser, Louisa Jones, says there is some hope for the 112 workers affected.
She says they will be working with the company to make sure as many workers as possible are taken on in Hamilton.
Louisa Jones says the closure is another example of the slowdown across the manufacturing sector.
Rotorua Chamber of Commerce CEO, Roger Gordon, says a supermarket is earmarked to take the spot.
"And that supermarket centre would in fact provide employment opportunity for I believe 250 jobs."

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney held his daily briefing.
He answered questions about Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, saying the situation was evolving and that the State Department has ongoing conversations wtih both Chen Guangcheng and his family and the Chinese government. He noted that the President spoke extensively about human rights during his trip to China.
Chen Guangcheng, a blind activist who is known for speaking out about China's family planning policies, escaped from his home, where he said he had been intimidated and threatened by local authorities, and traveled to Beijing, where he entered the U.S. Embassy. He told officials there that he wished to stay in China, and State Department officials negotiated an agreement for his freedom within China. He was later transferred to a hospital to seek treatment for an injury he sustained during his escape. Media outlets are now reporting that he and his family would like to leave China.
Jay Carney told reporters that "at no point" during his time in the embassy did Mr. Chen ever request assylum in the U.S., and that there was no pressure of any kind placed on him to leave the embassy by the U.S. officials.
Reporters also asked about a document release this morning that included many of the items siezed during the Osama Bin-Laden raid a year ago. Jay Carney responded that both the renewed interest in the subject around the anniversary and the amount of time required to translate and declassify the documents played a role in the timing of the release.

Josh Reddick was a great player in 2012, but has been hampered by injuries each of the last 2 seasons. He is currently on the D.L., but is expected back shortly after the All-Star break. The only problem is that there is seemingly no room for Reddick on the current 25-man roster.
With the offensive production of Brandon Moss and Stephen Vogt in right, the future of Josh Reddick in Oakland has become slightly muddled. Reddick, in 179 ABs this season, hit just .229, with 4 HR and 24 RBI. Vogt, in 93 AB, has hit .366 with 3 HR and 13 RBI. Power numbers aside, it's the average that is the difference-maker. The A's offense has enough players that are capable of scooping up RBI. What this offense needs is to keep bringing guys to the plate. Vogt does just that.
Reddick also has 43 K's in his 179 ABs. That means he strikes out 24% of the time. Vogt, with just 10 K's, has a 10% rate.
The one tool that Reddick has working in his favor is his arm. It is fantastic. This is also the tool that could bring the A's a decent return if they were to shop Josh Reddick. Right now, the A's could use some prospects. They don't have to be top-tier guys like the one they just traded, but stockpiling prospects is one of Billy Beane's favorite things to do. Whether the A's develop them, or trade them is anyone's guess.
Offensively, Josh Reddick is expendable. Defensively, it may be wise to keep him around for a potential playoff run. He could be used as a late-inning defensive replacement in any of the 3 outfield positions if necessary.
There is another question concerning Josh Reddick: When he's ready to be activated, who leaves Oakland? The fan favorites for this question are Jim Johnson and Eric Sogard. Neither has met expectations this season, but if I had to choose, I'd say Sogard would be the one on the short end of this decision. The A's have too many middle infielders as is. If he is only playing defense late in games, and sparingly at that, he is expendable. Johnson may not be pitching well this season, but he does fill the janitorial role in the 'pen.
If we take a look at the D.L., Drew Pomeranz is also expected to return shortly after the All-Star break. It's not too often that a club can say they have too many big-league players to fit on their roster, but this Oakland Athletics team does. With Pomeranz, he could end up taking Johnson's role, and resume being the long-man out of the bullpen.
There is also a chance that the A's will decide to just keep Josh Reddick in Triple-A for as long as they can while he rehabs. It would be a good time for him to work on his swing, and if he gets the call-up, he will be primed and ready to go. Hopefully.

Jon Bruner of Forbes, in collaboration with Hilary Mason and Anna Smith of Bitly, maps the most popular news source by state.
Bitly's dataset, wrangled by data scientists Hilary Mason and Anna Smith, consists of every click on every Bitly link on the Web. Bitly makes its data available publicly—just add '+' to the end of any Bitly link to see how many clicks it's gotten. For Bitly's collaboration with Forbes, Smith and Mason looked for news sources and individual articles that were unusually popular in certain states compared to national averages. The interactive map starts by showing which news source dominates in each state by this measure: the Washington Post in Virginia and Maryland, the Chicago Tribune in Illinois, and so on.
You can also select news sources to their click distributions across the country.
I like how The Onion leads in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New Mexico, although I'd be interested to know what other news sources the states read. A color scale might be informative, too.

Hilton Worldwide and Schiphol Real Estate, Schiphol Group's real estate subsidiary, have today signed an agreement to introduce a new landmark 433 guest room Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, to be designed by prominent Dutch architects, Mecanoo. The new cube-shaped building, which will feature rounded edges and a diamond-shaped façade with diagonal lines, has been designed with a view to it becoming an airport landmark. More images and architects' description after the break.
Courtesy of Mecanoo
Plans for the hotel, a development and investment by Schiphol Real Estate and managed by Hilton, were drawn up to meet increasing market demand and match the high quality standards of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Facilities are set to include a ballroom and 23 meeting rooms, speciality restaurant and bar, executive lounge, spa and fitness center, light-filled atrium lobby and underground parking offering 138 parking spaces. A new sheltered walkway will also connect hotel guests directly to the international airport terminal.
Courtesy of Mecanoo
The new hotel, which will replace the current Hilton property, will be situated in a prominent location alongside the access roads to the international airport terminal, near to the existing Hilton hotel which remain in operation until the opening of the new hotel, and demolished upon the new opening. It is expected to open in 2015, with construction scheduled to start later in 2012.

We likes The Wire. We likes reading about The Wire.
1. Aaron Bady, of The New Inquiry, earns a 'tie-today's-story-to-The-Wire' badge by thoughtfully comparing the recent revelations about Mike Daisey's one man show to Jimmy McNulty serial killer creation in Season 5. People as a whole don't end up looking too hot when Bady is done with us.
After all, Jimmy McNulty's problem is not only that he's an unscrupulous narcissist, but that he combines that quality with a streak of good intentions, a kind of idealism and desire to do some version of the right thing. Cynics and fatalists wouldn't fall into this trap, because they've never expected the world to be different, or never imagined that they could change it.
(via e-migo @djacobs who accurately referred to the above piece of deep analysis + Apple + The Wire as #kottkebait)
2. David Simon, creator of The Wire, recently penned a story worth reading for The Baltimore Sun about the recent health issues of Baltimore cop Gene Cassidy. Cassidy was shot twice in the head, and the investigation and prosecution of this shooting is the basis for Simon's 1991 'Homicide'.
3. In more uplifting news, actor Wendell Pierce who played Bunk, is opening up grocery stores in New Orleans. Neighborhoods need supermarkets, and Bunk is on it.
But grocery stores have not rebounded in the same way. Before the storm, there were 30 in New Orleans; today, there are 21. Most that have reopened are in wealthier neighborhoods: a Tulane University survey in 2007, the latest data available, found that nearly 60 percent of low-income residents had to travel more than three miles to reach a supermarket, though only 58 percent owned a car.
Bonus: Last week Omar Little was crowned The Wire's best character in Grantland's tournament. Jason is reportedly disconsolate. Even though he didn't make the tournament, my allegiance was to Slim Charles for that one scene. You know the one.
And a Kima update, too. Sonja Sohn recently spoke with NPR about ReWired for Change, a nonprofit she founded with Pierce and Michael K. Williams that attempts to cut down on crime with arts and mentoring programs.

For the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference a few weeks ago, Stanford biomechanical engineering student and Ayasdi analyst Muthu Alagappan presented his work on redefining basketball positions.
After studying players like LeBron James and Blake Griffin, many analysts are now suggesting that there are new positions, which are simply hybrids of the one's we already had. For example, some players are now labeled "point-forwards" or "combo-guards." But what if we were wrong about our initial five positions. Maybe a "Center" is just a label for people over a certain height, and there are actually three different types of big men in the NBA.
An analysis, done with data exploration tool Ayasdi Iris, provided 13 possible positions, as shown above. Nodes and edges are colored by points per minute on a blue (low) to red (high) scale.
So for example, those typically classified as centers or power forwards are classified as scoring rebounders, paint protectors, and scoring paint protectors. Dirk Nowitzki might be considered a scoring rebounder, whereas Joakim Noah is a paint protector.
The point? Hopefully teams can use this information to make better decisions about who to trade and draft. Of course, I'm sure scouts know about these fuzzy positions already, so I think the next step is to look at what positions the best teams have and had, and more importantly, how a "one-of-a-kind" player can change everything.

I just finished a series of illustrations for a small project the office is working on in Honduras. The project is a memorial, therefore we wanted the illustrations to take on a meditative and quiet atmosphere. Two renderings were created of the same view to explain the different lighting scenarios a visitor would experience both during the day and the night.
The workflow used for these two images are similar to what I use for many of the illustrations on this site. Because I wanted the illustrations to have a "painted" look, I didn't overlay Sketchup linework like I normally do. Instead, I spent more time layering textures and manually painting in Photoshop.
Although I didn't show the linework as an overlay in the final image, I still like to keep it as a separate layer in my Photoshop files so that I can use it to make quick selections with the Magic Wand Tool.
Sketchup Model Textures
The above image shows what kind of textures and detail level the Sketchup model contained. As you can see, the textures are basic. I knew going into these illustrations that applying textures in Photoshop was going to make or break the final result.
The Kerkythea rendering is the image I began with for the illustrations. I tend not to spend too much time tweaking the settings in hopes of getting a perfect rendering. This kills too much time. For this view, I really only focused on getting the shadows to render correctly and give the floor reflections. The darkness didn't bother me because I knew this would be fixed in Photoshop.
For these illustrations, correct textures were really important. I did not spend too much time adding textures in the 3D model because it is almost impossible to avoid the "tiling effect". Instead, I extracted stucco finishes right out of photos of local Honduras buidlings. Also in this step, I took the smudge tool to rough up the polished concrete floor and spent time using the burn and dodge tools to punch up the shadows and highlights.
The last step was to add color overlays. For this particular rendering, I probably had 5 or 6 different color overlays. For example, over by the doors, I used a soft white overlay to fade the trees in the background and brighten the light entering the space. I used a yellow overlay on the right side where the light is washing the wall to warm this area up. Over the entire image, I used a light orange overlay. Each of these layers are serving a particular purpose, however they all bleed into each other bringing a level of cohesiveness to the overall image.

The house is located on a historical agricultural plot amidst hayfields and woods in a nature reserve, a – for Dutch standards – hilly area. Although the plot has been overrun with small trees in time, it still bears the original character of the open field.
To minimize disturbance of the landscape and as a reference to the surrounding hilly terrain, the house is embedded in an artificial hill. At the same time, this answered the client's demand for keeping his ecological footprint with the house to a minimum. The embedding in the hill simultaneously functions as camouflage and as a blanket, hiding the house from view from the north side and using the earth as thermal insulation. One enters the house through cuts in the mountain, sided with panels of slowly corroding scrap steel.
© Jaap Vliegenthart
On the south side, the house has been opened to a maximum. The grand glass facade is framed in timber,which guides the transition from the artificial to the natural. The canopy regulates sunshine through the seasons and allows for a large terrace along the full width of the house. The terrace follows the split level of the ground floor, jumps up to the higher west façade creating a henhouse underneath. Finally, it curls back up to become the canopy.
The frame is constructed out of lark wood, forested from the immediate surroundings and therefore making it a hyperlocal use of material. Detailing creates a seamless transition between the interior and the exterior: the concrete floor, window frames and terrace finishing are all flush and continuous from inside to outside.
© Jaap Vliegenthart
The spatial structure of the house is a rectangular 12 x 19 meter open space. Steel cross the entire 12 meter width allowing great flexibility to the interior arrangement. Inside the hall-like space, the rooms are stacked in a disorderly manner and built out of light wooden structures, facilitating easy implementation of possible future changes. The interior can evolve along with its inhabitants, a young family, rooms being added or removed through time.
© Jaap Vliegenthart
There is a binary spatial experience in the house. Either you are in a room, with a cave-like atmosphere, daylight coming to you through deep cuts in the mountain – or you are in the large open space in front of the stacked rooms. This large space is oriented towards the 90 m2 glass facade which offers a spectacular view of the surrounding woods.
© Jaap Vliegenthart
The contrast between shell and rooms is clearly visible. The concrete wall, needed to retain the mass of the mountain, is left unfinished. The welding joints of the steel spans are visible and the wood is untreated. Within this rough shell of untreated construction materials, the stack of rooms tells a completely different story: every room is finished by the inhabitants in a unique and colorful way, which expresses the individuality of the boxes.
© Jaap Vliegenthart
The design is an experiment in sustainable strategies in both architecture – the hardware – and the technical installations – the software – which have been designed by Arup Amsterdam. The software concept consists of photovoltaics, LED lighting, wood pellet heating in combination with low temperature heating, CO2 monitored ventilation, a grey water circuit and the use of smart domotics. The result is a house in which the total amount of energy produced exceeds its consumption: excess energy can be used for a electric car.
The house is bold and unpredictable: an experiment in sustainable strategies in concept, structure, material and technical installations. A house that blends quietly in its surroundings, but stands out with spatial surprises.

When Stefani Germanotta was working as a waitress in the West Village in the summer of 2005 (anyone know where?), her coworker Malgorzata Saniewska shot a series of photos of her at Germanotta's parents' apartment.
A year or two later, Germanotta became Lady Gaga.Tags: Lady Gaga Malgorzata Saniewska photography

I just came back from my first run after totally breaking myself at weightlifting class. For almost two full days I made oofing noises when going down the stairs or lifting my arms, and even had to do that thing where you freefall the last few inches to the toilet seat because the quadriceps say NOPE, WE'RE DONE. You can think you're all bad-ass because you run three days a week and do yoga for the other four, but all it takes is a barbell and some plates to show you what a pantywaist creampuff you really are.
The class was fun, and it would be cool to start doing more weightlifting, but I was a little put off at the end of class when one woman said to me, "I had a lot of trouble with lunges when I started too." First of all, creepy that you were watching me that closely, creeper. Second, fuck you man I wasn't having "trouble"! Well okay a little. But see point one!
I made polite friendly noises and she added a bunch of slightly odd, AA-inspired stuff about the class—like, "This is really worth making time for" and "Keep coming back!" I know, I know: I should not be such a crab, she was just being encouraging and nice. But encouraging and nice makes me uncomfortable. Aren't I awful? Deficient in decent human spirit AND weak of limb.
Another thing I just did—I thought my electric kettle smelled kind of strange. So right after I poured all the boiling water into my tea cup I lifted the kettle's lid and took a big sniff, getting a full blast of face-steam and foggy glasses in the process. Good for the pores, bad for the vision, and how could I have not anticipated that? Lactic acid has gone to my brain.
Well, maybe more sad than stupid—I saw an ad on the train that asked if you were "in too deep" with payday loans, and offered a consolidation service. Holy cats. Don't people in that kind of trouble just default on those anyway? You can't be all that concerned about your credit rating if you're haunting the payday loan places.
I need to brag on my kid a bit. After her first Girls on the Run practice, she was raving about how fun it was, and she said, "I like it so much! Thank you for signing me up."
I got kind of misty about that because: niceness! And not just nice, smart enough/old enough to realize that a parent was the one who really made it happen, with a consent form and a check for an enrollment fee, and to remember that and give thanks for it just seems unusually considerate for a nine-year-old. Although this is my first and only nine-year-old, so maybe I'm wrong.
I may just be high on Nora right now because for some third-grade thought experiment about "If You Ran For President"* she answered the questions, "Who would you pick for your speechwriter? Who would be your campaign manager?" with "My mom for both because she is good with words and very organized." Why thank you!
*Nora cannot be president anyway, of course, as she was not born in the United States. I think that should probably be changed, but let's all wait until Schwarzenegger dies, yes?
Here is President Nora demonstrating how a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed:
That was at a fishing expo in some suburban outdoorsy store. We bought her the hat but not the gun.

The quantified self movement continues:
This may sound creepy, but tens of thousands of patients around the world are already sharing information about symptoms and treatments for hundreds of conditions on websites such as PatientsLikeMe and CureTogether. This has yielded valuable results, such as the finding that patients who suffered from vertigo during migraines were four times more likely to have painful side effects when using a particular migraine drug. The growing number of self-tracking devices now reaching the market will increase the scope for large-scale data collection, enabling users to analyse their own readings and aggregate them with those of other people.
Sure, it sounds nerdy and weird when you put it like that, but make it glow and call it fuel, and everyone goes nuts.

1. I am the one who takes down all the cutesy passive-aggressive bathroom notes at work and throws them away. I'm sorry, but when I am washing my hands I do not need to read "Please Pick Up Your Dishes, This Is NOT A Hotel! [smiley face]" or "Ladies: If You Sprinkle When You Tinkle, Please Be Neat And Wipe The Seat [more smiley faces]." I don't care that you spent work time selecting a lovely font and centering each line and printing it out and taping it to the mirror. Into the trash it goes!
2. I always push the "double speed" button during all the little in-between musical bits of podcasts, and I almost always think the music sounds better that way. I make fun of LT and his love for hyperactive cocaine ukulele jazz from the 1930s but maybe he is on to something.
3. Can you just have "qualms" or do you have to have qualms about something? Can qualms be intransitive? Can't I have just plain old qualms? One side of qualms, please.
4. I did not realize until I started comparing notes with my parent-friends just how many schools say the Pledge of Allegiance in an organized way, all in a group. Nora's school does not and I am thankful for that, because something about professing allegiance in a group gives me hives. It is not just the "under God" part (although that gives me DOUBLE HIVES); it is more that group pledging is very, very close to group prayer.
5. And the thing is, I *do* pledge allegiance, if not literally to the flag (I get that the author was speaking metonymically, but it still seems like a weird phrase), but to the idea and reality of America, which for all its shitton of fuckedupedness is still, in a deep and real and complex way, mine.
6. For example: my crazy cat Rocko, who seems like a really terrible, nasty, and inconvenient animal, but he's mine. Which sounds like I'm saying, "Oh once you get to know him you'll see his good points," which is true but also sort of a side issue since his bad points are pretty damn bad. But he is still my cat. Rocko IS America!
7. Do you love me like crazy? Are you going to say some things, and then I'll say some things, and then we're done? Okay then, let me tell you the story of how I finally left behind my Diet Coke addiction.
8. I was down to only drinking one Diet Coke a day, but that one-a-day was the most shameful one of all—the morning Diet Coke. I don't know why that bugged me so much, except maybe that I felt like I had no control over it. Any other time of the day I had no trouble with "just water, please" but mornings— my mouth all sleep-gross and my eyes barely open—always found me padding down to the basement (oooh, metaphor!) fridge to get that cursed can. Even if the night before I had sternly told myself that I would make tea or drink juice or grab a beer (kidding), or do anything but pop the top on the container of caramel color + neurotoxins, the morning would come and I could not help myself.
9. None of the accepted stop-drinking-soda wisdom (fizzy water! green tea! diluted juice! blah blah!) ever worked for me until it clicked that what I wanted from Diet Coke was acidity. Carbonation and caffeine are entirely secondary to the blast of acid that cleaned out my mouth like the 5-0's jump-out boys clean up a drug corner.
10. (I want to take that comparison a LOT further, and craft a highly-acclaimed cable television drama about the war between oral bacteria and the forces of fluoride in a troubled city called Mouth, and how acid substances like coffee and Diet Coke seem to vanquish bacteria temporarily but are in actuality bad for the teeth [read: ordinary citizens, moral fiber], but the bureaucracy goes for the quick fix over long-lasting dental health. Do you think there might be intellectual-property lawsuits there?)
11. Anyway, once I figured that out I started drinking a huge glass of water with a LOT of lemon juice squeezed into it right after getting up and, three days later, no more cola-flavored monkey on my back. Plus I get to feel all smug and faux-healthy, like I am doing some ridiculous Gwyneth Paltrow-esque "cleansing" ritual when I get my easy peasy lemon squeezy on. For a while I was even drinking this crazy Whole Foods apple cider vinegar/honey beverage made by Bragg's (with their irritating Christian fish symbol right on the bottle and everything), but then I started feeling stupid because it has three cheap-ass ingredients and surely I can make it myself. I have not yet gotten the proportions right but I will keep trying.
12. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. And as long as I am being opinionated about the Pledge of Allegiance and bathroom etiquette notes and acidity as THE ONE TRUE WAY TO GET OFF DRUGS, I will also be opinionated about music and say you should listen to The Grates, Ni Hao, early Cars, Couch, Mogwai, Eat Skull, the David Bowie album "Reality," Wild Flag, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Cypress Hill, and avant-garde cellist Okkyung Lee.

The Line
Music/Lyrics: Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/McConnell
Vocals: Trey
Albums: Fuego
Debut: 2013-10-31
Historian: Jeremy Welsh (jwelsh8)
Last Update: 2014-08-06
Debuted as the third song of their Wingsuit set from 10/31/13 when Phish covered their future selves, the "moment of truth" song "The Line" could have been written by the band for that very evening. As Trey explained later in the set:
"Dedicated with much love to the incredible Darius Washington, Jr. that song is about his experience when he missed those two free throws at the end of the Final Four Michigan State game. We love him, and we can relate."
Actually, Trey, Washington missed two of three free throws while playing for the University of Memphis against Louisville in the 2005 Conference-USA tournament. But who's counting?
2005 Conference-USA basketball tournament, Memphis vs Louisville
While the verses feature Trey singing over keyboard work from Page – alternating between organ and piano – the melodic inspiration for chorus reaches back before Darius was born, to the autumn of 1983. It is clear the main melody grows out of the soaring "Prolonged Exposure" from the project known as Bivouac Jaun, known to fans through the earliest known recording featuring a member of Phish. (In this instance, Trey on guitar with possible assistance from Marc Daubert). There is something fitting about Trey selecting a section of music from over 30 years ago for a song all about looking forward.
The lyrics are written from the standpoint of Darius, standing there on the parquet floor of the FedEx Forum in Memphis in front of his home crowd, just before the shots were taken. The line "Big D is watching / I remember what he taught me / don't let him see you cry" references Darius's father, Darius Senior, who firmly nudged his son to walk Beale Street that evening, not allowing him to dwell on the misses.
We have all been told how to handle times of stress where you are put on stage: You have done this before, stand tall, control your breathing. Take your time, nail these shots, and your whole future is in front of you… But that doesn't always hold true. Sometimes, no matter the amount of preparation or skill that you may have, it just does not work out. The shots don't fall. For whatever reason, the rim just continues to get smaller in front of you.
On that Thursday evening in Atlantic City, Phish stepped up to the line. They had debuted songs before, played in front of hundreds of thousands of people in sold out venues, taken chances and succeeded. But this night, when expectations of fans may have been elsewhere, the band stepped to the line not knowing if they would end up victorious. The future (of the songs that would be played, at least) was ahead of them. They clung to the notion that it would all be fine with a song about a tragic hero, taking melodic cues from the prehistoric past, looking to the future.
Did they end up winning in the end? That is still up for debate. What is not up for debate is that "The Line" has lived past that game in the Spring of 2005, and the one evening in October of 2013. Moving from third in the order, "The Line" was chosen as the second song on Phish's 12th studio album, Fuego, following the dense title track. And after having been played its second time during the first set of 12/29/13, the third "public" appearance of the song came on 6/24/14, the day Fuego was released. Phish chose "The Line" to represent Fuego on their sixth appearance on Late Night with David Letterman.
"The Line" – 10/31/13, Atlantic City, NJ

Hearing The Line and Trey's flubbed intro on Halloween night instantly reminded me of few shows I saw in Ann Arbor in '93. For an encore the first night they did BBFCFM. They had the mic booms up and both Mike and Trey were laying there for what seemed like an awkwardly long period of time both waiting for the cue from each other. Turns out it was Trey who "dropped the ball". The following night during I Didn't Know -
"Trey and Mike put their microphones in the same position as they were for BBFCFM, and Page brought people on stage to give testimonials about how they felt about it. Special guests included Brad Sands and Chris Kuroda. Trey admitted his guilt in the mishap and the song continued."
Trey said he felt like he was in the final seconds of the NCAA championship game with seconds left and he called time out. A reference to University of Michigan Chris Webber who, in the final seconds of the '93 NCAA championship game against UNC, called time out when U of M was actually out of time outs resulting in a technical foul and blowing any hopes Michigan had of pulling off a win.
"We have all been told how to handle times of stress where you are put on stage: You have done this before, stand tall, control your breathing. Take your time, nail these shots, and your whole future is in front of you But that doesnt always hold true. Sometimes, no matter the amount of preparation or skill that you may have, it just does not work out."
Like Darius, it didn't work out for Chris that night on the basketball court. And like Darius he ended up with a spot (though much smaller) in Phishtory.

Now, Shilpa Shetty has always been well maintained but this came as a surprise when the lady was dressed to a T even a few days after her delivery. We spotted her along with hubby Raj Kundra and Baby K (Raj fondly calls his baby boy baby K as they haven't named him yet) from Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. Even the glow on her face is quite evident.

Argos' Jami Patterson dives for a ball while Culver Community's Tatum Schultz is tripped up during a girls basketball game earlier this season.
A few weeks ago, Culver resident Hank Bilsland defended photographs he'd commissioned of wind turbines placed at Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin following a suggestion by Culver town council member Ralph Winters that the photos could have been digitally enhanced to give the turbines a more ominous appearance. At last week's regular town council meeting, Winters revisited the debate with a set of photographs he'd taken himself at the same site, accompanied by wife Barbara on what he called a "road trip" the two recent undertook to the Wisconsin site.
PLYMOUTH — United Way of Marshall County volunteers and board members prepared for a blitz in Plymouth Friday. The goal for this year's campaign is $475,000, of which only 30 percent has been received.
"We are looking for (donors) to step up because our member agencies are depending on us having a successful campaign," said Chad Dreibelbis, campaign chair.
PLYMOUTH — If your family receives medical care from Plymouth Family and Internal Medicine at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) in Plymouth, you may soon have a shorter drive to doctor's appointments.
SJRMC will be opening new outpatient offices in February, at 209 E. Jefferson St. in the previous Madison Center building. The expansion will allow the hospital to extend care to more patients at a convenient location.
• The Triton High School senior class will be serving a spaghetti supper from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
The spaghetti will feature a homemade sauce made by Miss Stout's foods classes. Breadsticks, lemonade, and a side salad will finish out the menu. The cost is $6 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under (pre-school children will be free). All profits will go toward the senior class trip to Washington D.C. in April. Tickets are now on sale and may be purchased from any senior class member or at the door. Carryout will also be available.
PLYMOUTH — When brothers Dan and Dave Tanner heard that their longtime friend and former bandmate, Ben Boys, was in the hospital with a severe heart problem, they knew they had to help.
The Tanner brothers are part of the band Straightaway, originally formed in 1986 with Ben and his brother, Tom Boys. When Ben moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., he had to drop out of the band — but his friends didn't forget about him. They recently organized a benefit on his behalf, held the day before Thanksgiving at the Plymouth Eagles.
BREMEN – Next fall, Bremen High School plans to provide every student with a portable, wireless computing device as part of the 1:1 Technology Initiative.
"Each student will have their own device assigned to them, for use at school and at home," explained Steve Gall, technology integration coach.
Currently Bremen High School has about 300 computers dedicated for student use in several labs, which must be reserved in advance by individual teachers.
Some 500 purses are overflowing storage space at Michelle's Headquarters and elsewhere, but they're not for Michelle Allyn (BELOW, LEFT) and Susan Elizondo (RIGHT). Instead, they're part of an unusual fund raising event for "Hello Gorgeous!" which treats cancer-fighting women to a spa event with new attire and more, as reported in a recent edition of this newspaper.
This Holiday Season, area residents are asked to consider helping community supporters raise money for a local family.
Rob Reinhold, 42, who was born and raised in the Culver area, moved back to Culver with his wife, Rhonda to raise their young daughter, Reilly. Reinhold was diagnosed with severe, debilitating ALS last September and his health has quickly deteriorated.
LAKEVILLE — The Union-North School Corporation announced an outbreak of chicken pox at LaVille Elementary last Monday. The school took quick action, reporting the cases to the county health department and holding vaccination clinics Tuesday and Wednesday at the school. Health department nurse Susan Lechlitner said that about 150 students were vaccinated.
"Parents were frustrated but everyone worked through it," said LaVille Elementary School nurse Lisa Aschenbrenner. "They know we are here to keep the kids safe and healthy."

I saw you the other day.
You with your head down,
Shoulders curled forward.
I wanted to call out to you,
Scream at you,
"You're beautiful."
I didn't though.
You were stories below,
Separated from me by thick glass.
I don't know you.
Never met you, never will, but
You're beautiful.
I wish I could help.
Chase away whatever is weighing you down,
Crushing your posture
Tugging at your heels as you shuffle along the sidewalk.
I want to do this for you because
You're beautiful.
I'm not sure where you've gone now,
But there are plenty more like you.
So for anyone who needs to hear it,
Anyone experiencing life's inevitable bumps and bruises,
Pick your head up, try to smile, and know
You're beautiful

New Featurette for DIVERGENT Focuses on Theo James' Character, Four
by Matt Goldberg Posted 235 days ago
Summit has released a new featurette for Neil Burger's adaptation of the best-selling novel, Divergent. The story takes place in a society where people are divided into factions based on their personalities. Tris (Shailene Woodley) is a young girl who doesn't fit into any of the pre-assigned groups, and faces grave consequences if it's revealed that she's "Divergent". Theo James plays Four, Tris' instructor and love-interest, and this featurette provides a behind-the-scenes look at the character and his performance. I haven't seen any of James' previous work, so I don't know how he'll handle the emotional scenes, but from a physical standpoint, he fits the bill.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette. The film also stars Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Tony Goldwyn, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, and Kate Winslet. Divergent opens on March 21st. [Update: We've also added a new TV spot]

Looking Towards a New European Food Policy
06 May 14
Carlo Petrini
It will be a decisive moment for Europe. Between May 22 and 25, elections will be held for the European Parliament, the directly elected institution that defends the interests of the citizens of Europe within the European Union's decision-making processes. Carlo Petrini is sending the electoral candidates a message about the need for a transition from an exclusively "agricultural" policy to an "agricultural and food" policy.
Dear European Parliamentary Candidates,
The association I lead, Slow Food, promotes food that is "good, clean and fair;" food whose quality is not defined just by sensory parameters, but also environmental and social ones. We believe that the idea of food quality is very complex and that we must therefore take responsibility for safeguarding the heritage of biodiversity, culture and ancestral knowledge that makes the act of consciously feeding ourselves one of the fundamental pleasures of existence and a universal right. Everyone should be entitled to "good, clean and fair" food.
Europe is home to an extraordinary biodiversity, a genetic wealth that is also cultural, social and economic. Despite this, it has still not adopted satisfactory measures to protect it, putting at risk local plant varieties and animal breeds, products that feed the social fabric of communities and their small-scale economies. If biodiversity dwindles, so too do the possibilities for all European citizens to secure well-being and quality of life.
Slow Food believes that the main cause of the limitations of European policies when it comes to food is the lack of integration and coordination between different initiatives and sectors. Not enough attention is paid to the connections and overlaps between similar issues and the actors involved. At a European level it is therefore necessary to analyze and regulate the food system holistically, in an interdisciplinary way, strengthened by a perspective that takes into account all the complexity of the system itself.
To date, the issues linked to the food system have mostly been governed by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), while other measures that heavily influence the food system are regulated separately, almost always generating contradictory results.
To achieve better coordination, it is therefore necessary for European policies to formalize and structure their sphere of action, expressing a more complete vision (a holistic one, to be precise) and effecting a transition from an exclusively "agricultural" policy to a policy that can be defined as "agricultural and food," and which is based on the values of sustainability, biodiversity protection, the preservation of natural resources and inclusive development.
Different EU policies must be better integrated in order to efficiently tackle cross-cutting issues like energy, environmental and natural resource protection, climate change, employment, public health, the development of local economies, infrastructure creation and international development aid. Cross-cutting issues need cross-cutting tools, in other words a "new European food policy." It is therefore necessary to promote and support a food system that is more conscious of local products, local cultures and community needs. A system that gives the right value back to food, respecting those who produce it, those who eat it and environmental well-being. Too often the value of food is connected only to its price, to its value from a purely commercial perspective, but that is not accurate. There is so much more.
Slow Food is asking all the candidates for the European Parliament to have the courage to imagine a different Europe, a Europe in which access to "good, clean and fair" food is not a privilege for the few, but the right of everyone. For this to happen, it is necessary that you commit to putting the promotion of this new European food policy at the center of your electoral agendas and your political activities.
We ask those of you who are elected to accompany the future European Commission along the path towards a Common Food Policy. In this regard, the vote of European parliamentarians to elect the new president of the European Commission will play a fundamental role. We also ask you to ensure that this process and all the debates relating to the food system are carried out in complete transparency, and that the Parliament fully embraces its responsibilities and decision-making powers in relation to other European institutions.
If this is the Europe that you want too, say it loud and clear, and tell us, by writing to email@example.com.

The Lady Gaga-MyTSA link
Transportation Security AdministrationBlogs.tsa.govSept. 22, 2010
Lady Gaga provides Blogger Bob with an opportunity to highlight a new mobile application now available from the Transportation Security Administration.
Blogger Bob notes that a lot of people were probably puzzled by recent reports about the ubiquitous being permitted to take handcuffs through a security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport. Handcuffs certainly seem like something that be prohibited, but that's not the case.
"Why not, you might ask? They're not a threat," he writes. "You can't do any real damage with a pair of handcuffs and if you really wanted to tie someone's hands behind their back, there are many other ways you could do it."
A Battle Over Public Safety Radios (Part I) Source: Washington State Rep. Reuven CarlyleSept. 6, 2010
Facing a scheduled cutoff of vendor support for its police and fire radio network, officials from Seattle and King County are pondering investment plans for the next-generation wireless voice and broadband data systems for area first responders. Unfortunately, those plans put the region on the same path to excessively overpriced proprietary systems that it's been locked into before, argues Reuven Carlyle, a state representative from Washington's 36th district, in his blog.
Instead, Carlyle thinks officials should push for a system that more closely resembles the competitive market of commercial cell phone services and perhaps even includes buying some first-responder devices that use those commercial networks — though they would get priority access during emergencies.
Carlyle opposes a plan by some city officials to apply for a federal grant to build a wireless network based on fourth-generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, similar to a federally funded $50 million broadband project under way in the San Francisco area.
"Public safety is building their own mirror system to commercial services," writes Carlyle about the LTE initiative. "A mirror system that is on track to be proprietary, closed and expensive like our existing first-responder radio systems."
Nor does he think the answer lies in another option to buy $5,000 radios based on Project 25, a digital, public safety radio standard in the United States. He says the P25 radios don't enjoy competitive pricing and aren't even interoperable as intended.
Instead, Carlyle proposes that Seattle buy public safety voice radios based on the Terrestrial Trunked Radio standard that is common in Europe and Asia until a truly open and standards-based national wireless broadband plan for U.S. first responders is in place.
A Battle Over Public Safety Radios (Part II)Source: Seattle CTO Bill SchrierSept. 9, 2010
The reason first responders require $5,000 radios that use their own dedicated network is because consumer cell phone services and $200 handsets don't come close to providing the reliability, ruggedness, service prioritization and other special features that public safety officials require for their communications, writes Seattle Chief Technology Officer Bill Schrier in response to Washington State Representative Reuven Carlyle's blog post on the issue.
Schrier concedes that the proprietary nature of existing public safety radio technologies, including Project 25, drives up their costs to sky-high levels. But he says Carlyle's proposal to buy $500 Terrestrial Trunked Radio-based radios is unworkable and even dangerous because the technology is not used anywhere else in the United States. (Editor's note: Those who enjoy conspiracy theories — and can tolerate some serious geek-talk debate — should do a Web search on "Why TETRA radios are not used in the U.S.")
The best plan is to build new, dedicated public safety networks that use fourth-generation Long Term Evolution technology, the same technology that Verizon and AT&T are using to build their next-generation commercial cell networks. "Because everyone — consumers, cops, firefighters and even general government workers such as transportation and utilities — are all using LTE, constructing the networks can be much cheaper," Schrier writes.

Marilyn Manson Stars In Saint Laurent Ad
By Gregory DelliCarpini Jr. | March 29, 2013
Marilyn Manson is the latest musician tapped by mega fashion brand Saint Laurent to star in their newest ad. Creative Director Hedi Slimane chose Manson to star in the brand's newest menswear campaign. Slimane seems to have an obsession with selecting edgy singers from the '90s to front his ads. Manson follows in the footsteps of fellow musician Beck Hansen, who appeared in Slimane's very first campaign last season.
The image of the luxury label's latest ad campaign was leaked by both Lady Gaga's fashion homeboy Nicola Formichetti and SCENE's Peter Davis via social media. Davis took to Facebook, saying "Marilyn Manson in the new Saint Laurent ads. Thoughts?"
Nicola opted for Instagram, simply and fittingly writing, "Amazing." Drenched in typical Manson-esque style, the eerie ad is comprised of a close-up shot of Manson featuring the singer in thick eyeliner, black lipstick and a shiny leather jacket. Goth-grunge is hot right now.
Although a bit surprising seeing Manson star in a fashion ad, his sinister look perfectly accentuates the French fashion line's dark and neo-grunge aesthetic.
