'100 Years of Broadway' headed to Symphony HallOctober 21, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
"Tell your readers it's just as if I'm throwing a party at my house and the audience is invited over for an intimate evening of music, no matter how large an audience we're playing to," said Berg.
Ten years after the show's debut, Berg said the audiences keep coming back for more.
"There are a couple of reasons why. I always get comments after the show from people who tell me the songs bring back memories for them….it might be that they saw the show on Broadway or that their parents played the album in the house when they were young," said Berg.
"Also, I think people appreciate the fact that Broadway is truly an American art form. We stole from everyone, it's an amalgamation of so many things from tin pan alley to vaudeville to opera and more. People love to gel stories with music, and eventually people like Jerome Kern and Rogers and Hammerstein took it to a new level when they figured out how to forward a plot with songs," he added.
"100 Years of Broadway" recreates the greatest moments from the finest shows of the century, featuring the actual stars of shows such as "The Phantom of the Opera," "Les Miserables," "CATS," "Jesus Christ Superstar," and "Jekyll & Hyde."
Among the scheduled performers at the Saturday show will be:
Jeannette Bayardelle – Bayardelle starred in the revival production of "Hair" on Broadway and in "The Color Purple" on Broadway. She has also shared the stage with artists such as Donnie McClurkin and Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child. According to Berg, audiences will hear Bayardelle performing additional Broadway songs as "And I Am Telling You" from "Dreamgirls" and "Natural Woman" from "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical."
Richard Todd Adams – Adams, who holds a Master's in Music from The Juilliard School, made his Broadway debut in 2005 in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Woman in White." He has played the Phantom and Raoul in "The Phantom of the Opera" on its tours of the United States, as well as the Los Angeles company of "Phantom." Berg said audiences can expect to hear such songs from Adams as "The Music of the Night" from "Phantom" and others from "Les Miserables."
Rita Harvey – Harvey is the principle soprano in Berg's Broadway salute and the producer's wife. She made her Broadway debut in the lead role of Christine Daee in "The Phantom of the Opera" and performed on Broadway in the role of Hodel in the latest revival of "Fiddler on the Roof." In addition to paying tribute to her Broadway roles, Berg said his wife will also be singing some of the "great soprano material" from "The Sound of Music."
Berg serves as narrator of the show.
"This isn't just a concert where people get up and sing. I narrate the show with historical information and behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the songs and performers. It's not just great entertainment, but a love letter to the history of Broadway musicals," said Berg.

California, Montreal guitar trios to team up at CityStageOctober 7, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
"We had heard about the Montreal Guitar Trio for a long time, and they were aware of us. It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed. A few years ago we were at a booking conference in Oregon and heard them play, and they heard us. Just by coincidence, we were all on the same flight going to Chicago and we got to talking and there was an interest expressed in getting together. Both of our agencies loved the idea and immediately started booking some shows together for us," said Paul Richards of the California Guitar Trio.
Their coming together was a marriage made in heaven.
"When we got together for the first time in the rehearsal studio, it was as if we had been playing together for years. It was amazing how well we all blended together. The Montreal Guitar Trio come from a classical background and play nylon-stringed guitars, while we play on steel-stringed-guitars. Each offer a uniquely different sound, and when the three and three are blended together it's just a beautiful thing and I don't think its ever been done before to the extent we are doing it in this show," Richards said.
The California Guitar Trio's multi-genre explorations have driven 14 albums and nearly 1,500 gigs across its 22-year career. Comprising Bert Lams of Affligem, Belgium; Hideyo Moriya of Chiba, Japan, and Richards of Utah, the group criss crosses the universes of rock, jazz, world music, surf music, and classical music in its performances and recordings.
The trio met while participating in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses in 1987. They first toured together as part of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists, an orchestra of acoustic players that served as exponents of the King Crimson founder's teachings, compositions, and performance approach. In 1991, they founded the California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles, which initially gained notoriety opening for the likes of King Crimson, John McLaughlin, and David Sylvian. Their music has even been used to wake-up the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
For over 15 years, the Montreal Guitar Trio have been winning over audiences around the world. The trio, composed of guitarists Marc Morin, Sébastien Dufour and Glenn Lévesque, has given hundreds of concerts in some of the most prestigious venues across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, including the BB King Blues Club in New York, the Rundetårnet in Copenhagen, and the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
The Oct. 16 show will see the acts performing independently in the first half of the program, followed by a breathtaking six-guitar format. They play arrangements of each other's material, as well as innovative takes on rock standards.
"I think people will find that there is something for everyone in our performance with the Montreal Guitar Trio, Those who have never seen an instrumental guitar show will usually leave the show with an appreciation some portion of the group repertoire, since we play such diverse and different," Richards said.
"We find that our audience is comprised of everyone from little kids to folks in their 70s and 80s. During a recent tour, a woman in her 90s came up to me and said she had never heard any instrumental guitar music before the show, and how much she enjoyed it," he added.
The guitarist noted even though the show is predominantly instrumental, one of the members of the Montreal Guitar Trio sings and will likely add vocals to George Harrison's "While My guitar Gently Weeps," Richards noted.
"I also like to feel that we sing through our guitars, that the singing quality comes through when we play them," Richards said.

Jekyll & Hyde to put a chill in the air on Oct. 10 at Symphony HallOctober 1, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
The play hits close to home with former Southborough resident Laura Helm starring in the role of prostitute Lucy Harris, a nightclub singer at the Red Brick where she becomes entangled in the Jekyll and Hyde web.
"I feel very blessed to get the lead female role in my very first national tour. I'm so grateful to be working alongside a wonderful cast," Helm said.
"While I was auditioning for the role, I was also performing in a play at The Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire, called 'My Mixtape: Sounds of the 80s.' It was quite a drive going from New Hampshire to the audition in New York City, then driving back to New Hampshire to perform in the show," she added, about the 10-hour round-trip commute.
The gothic musical thriller brings to life Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless novella, concerning the case of a Victorian England doctor and his all too ill-fated experiment, which attempts to separate good and evil within a living human subject, himself.
The current touring production, presented by Touring Theatre Associates LLC, is a re-imagined, sensual, psychological thriller – less like the more recent rock-oriented version starring "American Idol's" Constantine Maroulis and closer to the original production –which includes such audience musical favorites as "Someone Like You," "In His Eyes," and its stellar standout, "This is the Moment."
"For my college audition, my voice teacher picked 'Someone Like You' for me to perform. It's one of the most iconic songs from 'Jekyll & Hyde' and it's been a dream role of mine to play Lucy. But I never thought the first time would be at this point in my career on my first-ever national tour," Helm said.
Born in Huntington Beach, California, Helms moved with her family at the age of nine to Southborough. She started dancing seriously while in high school and performed in several choirs and numerous musicals before deciding that a life in theater was her calling. She attended The Hartt School of Music in Connecticut, where she earned her BFA in musical theater in May 2012. Today, based out of New York City, her parents still reside in Southborough.
"Jekyll & Hyde" made its Broadway debut at the Plymouth Theater in 1997 and ran for more than 1,500 performances. Originally conceived for the stage by Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden, the play features original music by Wildhorn, a book by Leslie Bricusse, and lyrics by Wildhorn, Bricusse and Cuden. The current touring production is directed by Paul Stancato with musical direction by Jeffrey Campos.

John Denver tribute returning to CityStageSeptember 30, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
But, when Vigil returns to CityStage on Oct. 11, it will be minus a special friend he had been bringing along to perform on stage with him – Steve Weisberg, Denver's lead guitarist, who passed away in May after losing his battle with cancer.
"I know that Steve will be with me in spirit while I'm in Springfield. He had such a huge influence on me and helped me tremendously in many ways both on stage and in my personal life. I can truly say my life is richer for having known and worked with him," said Vigil.
Prior to joining up with Weisberg, Vigil has been doing the tribute show alone for about seven year.
With two of his favorite musicians gone, Vigil said he now has something special to remember them by.
"Steve left me in his will a unique tour pendant that John had designed and given to all the members in his band on their 1975 tour. On the back of the pendant is written, 'I love you, John.' It's a very special gift," said Vigil.
In reflecting on his upcoming performance in Springfield, Vigil offered his thoughts on his Top 3 John Denver songs performed in his tribute show.
1. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" – "I'd have to say it's the most thrilling thing that happens to me on stage, when some 400 to 500 people are all singing 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' along with me. It's as if we all become one and nothing else matters in with world as we sing together and have a great time. The song is a favorite of mine and I can relate to it, it's very relaxing. It was a great anthem for John and I'm sure it was among his top favorites."
2. "Sunshine on My Shoulders" – "This is a song I never really played on stage. It's a great one, and people certainly remember it, but it is so slow, and there were already slow numbers in my set. After I met Steve (lll) he asked me about the song and why it wasn't in my set, so I explained why to him and told him that I did know how to play it. He told me that it really needed to be on my set list because it touched so many people and was just so heartwarming."
3. "Annie's Song" – "It's tough to select what would be my number three song because I have so many favorites, but it would have to be "Annie's Song," which John wrote for his wife. There's such a beautiful melody in the song, and you can tell that John really deeply loved Annie. But, John was on the road a lot and it was tough for him to be away from her. So, there were many ups and downs in their marriage which eventually resulted in divorce. John never got over Annie and I heard he was going to get back with her before he died."

The Midtown Men pick 5 favorite hits from upcoming Symphony Hall showSeptember 10, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
The Midtown Men are the four stars from the original cast of "Jersey Boys" – Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Aware-nominee J. Robert Spencer – whose concert tour reunites the four stars from the original cast of Broadway's "Jersey Boys."
Among the popular groups and individual artists the "men" will pay tribute to are The Beatles, The Rascals, The Turtles, the Motown sound, The Four Seasons and many others.
Midtown Man Daniel Reichard said it was an honor to have been in a Broadway production like 'Jersey Boys' that was turned into a big screen movie,"
Asked what his five top songs that will be sung at their Springfield show, Reichard offered up his choices:
"Groovin'" by The Young Rascals – "Just listening to the song harkens back to the laid back, feel good vibe of the '60s. We just have a lot of fun with the song and kick back with it. We've gotten to know The Rascals over the years and have performed with some of their members. In fact, their guitarist Gene Cornish comes up on stage to perform with us on our PBS special that will air sometime in December. We just have a lot of fun with the song and kick back with it."
"You're All I Need To Get By" by Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell – "This song is the climax of our pride and joy – our Motown sequence in the show. It has become an anthem, a rally, for not only our connection with our own families and loved ones, but it is also an anthem for our group and unifies us every time we sing the song. There is such a passion heard throughout the entire song, which is really about sticking things out with people you care about. As a group, we've been through so much in the past decade and it's an affirmation every time we perform the song on stage that we are still giving it our all."
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross – "We have a new arrangement for this song and all of The Midtown Men's different personalities are represented when we perform it. We see 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough" as one of those songs that unifies a crowd. It's such an iconic song, and when we sing something like that is means so much to the many people who have a deep human connection to it. It's an honor to sing it for everyone and for them to hear it a different way."
"Be My Baby" by The Ronettes – "This time around on tour we're having a lot of fun with our set list and have added many new songs that Springfield audiences, who saw us last time around, will not have heard. We're pushing the boundaries and are covering the many girl groups from the '60s like The Ronettes, and not just singing guy group songs. I think audiences will enjoy hearing this popular girl group song with a Midtown Men twist."
"December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by The Four Seasons – "This is one of the first five numbers we perform from 'Jersey Boys.' Our show has always been about singing songs by our favorite groups of the '60s, and we take great pride in bringing this song that we sang every night in 'Jersey Boys' to our audiences today. Although the song actually came out in the '70s, it's still relevant for us and our new show. It was my song to sing in 'Jersey Boys' and on the award-winning album from the Broadway musical."

Audience favorites, new offerings to make up CityStage and Symphony Hall 2014-2015 seasonJune 17, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
When CityStage and Symphony Hall begins its 2014-2015 season in September, they will be bringing back some crowd pleasers from years gone by alongside many new shows from Jingle Babes for the holidays to a mop top tribute called Yesterday & Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience.
"We are giving our loyal patrons the return engagements they have been asking for, but we are also bringing in new and unique entertainment like the vocaldente group from Germany and The Wellington National Ukelele Orchestra," said Tina D'Agostino, president of CityStage and Symphony Hall.
"I'm also thrilled that we finally landed a date on the Love, Loss and What I Wore tour. I saw the show a few years ago in New York and thought it was perfect for CityStage. I've been making offers on it for a couple of years, hoping to bring it to Springfield ever since I saw it. It's so rewarding when things finally work out, especially when the audiences are receptive," she added.
D'Agostino said she is excited about the eclectic mix of shows, noting comedies and tributes are very popular at CityStage.
"I am looking forward to the return engagement of The Male Intellect: an oxymoron? and CityStage's favorite Elvis, Matt Lewis, and Ted Vigil who delivers an amazing tribute to John Denver. All of those shows had great box office records, and we've had people come back time and time again, but these are also great shows for a first time experience at the venue. The Male Intellect is a funny show about relationships and really gets to the root of what women want. Some of us on staff still quote our favorite lines from the show, it's that memorable and incredibly funny," she said.
According to D'Agostino, CityStage is "a versatile space, and a great place to see live music, comedy and theater."
"At the start of the season, the focus is truly on music. Guitar aficionados will have the opportunity to see the 'phenomensemble' of The California Guitar Trio and Montery Guitar Trio performing original compositions and new arrangements of rock, world, jazz and classical music. Then, the following month we are bringing in Tavares, one of the most memorable soul groups of the 70s and 80s," she said.
D'Agostino noted the new season is going to be a crucial year for Broadway at Symphony Hall.
"Many touring productions simply won't fit in the building, but the two that we've booked this year, 'Jekyll & Hyde' and 'Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story,' have played there before and were amazing shows. I am hopeful that we can continue to bring in large productions like this, and that these shows attract a lot of people," she said.
For those who want a little more variety rolled into one show, Symphony Hall will play host to a couple of concerts featuring the music of Broadway and popular hits from the 1960s. "Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway" showcases the most popular Broadway songs, from classics to contemporary and The Midtown Men are four stars from the original cast of "Jersey Boys" returning to Symphony Hall.
The new season wil also include family-friendly programming during the school vacation weeks. In addition to The Magic of Bill Blagg in February at CityStage with matinee and evening performances, there will be a matinee performance of the Popovich Comedy Pet Theatre at Symphony Hall in April.
"Personally, I am most looking forward to The Wellington National Ukelele Orchestra, I think it's going to be a very unique and uplifting show that is also family friendly," said D'Agostino. She said they are also looking at other concerts and will be announcing their stand-up comedy series later in the summer.

Your Diary starring David Tennant, Emily Deschanel, and Amanda Tapping (suggested by different-heartbeats)
Suddenly you'll move away from me
What more is it that I could be, if you move away from me
You on that train
I was alone in your room
When there on the floor, I saw a little black book
You left it there on the floor
Open it up and its
Your diary, your diary, open and inviting me back
- Your Diary, Franz Ferdinand
Plain ordinary Alinka (Deschanel) keeps a first person diary of the woman she wishes she could be. Her alter ego, Jennifer (Tapping) is wild, spontaneous, sexy and flirty - everything that Alinka is afraid to be. While writing in her diary on the train under the guise of her alter ego, she writes a particularly raunchy entry about the passenger across from her. After accidentally leaving her diary on the seat, the passenger across, Lucas (Tennant) picks it up. He falls in love with this wild flirty woman, not realising that she's a fictional character. When he reaches the final raunchy entry which could only be about him, he sets out to return the diary and win her heart - but what happens when he realises that the woman he's seeking is the exact opposite of the character he fell in love with? Has he fallen in love with the woman Alinka could never be, or is she waiting for someone to help her discover how to be Jennifer?
WHY IS THIS NOT REAL LIFE?!?!?!?!?! Whoever is coming up with these, you are slowly and painfully killing me.

CIOs continue to operate in challenging environment with a shortage of talentDOWNLOAD
11 November 2013: Business investment in IT is on the rise as nearly 80% of IT budgets have increased or stayed the same this year, according to the 2013 Deloitte CIO Survey. Driving digital strategy through new technologies and trends such as mobile, cloud, social media and analytics, is seen as the next highest priority by over 50% of respondents.
Deloitte's global survey, which gathered responses from over 700 CIOs and senior IT leaders across 36 countries, showed some remarkably consistent experiences across global regions and industries. It provides insight into the opportunities and challenges of CIOs around the world. In Australia almost 30 CIOs participated in the survey.
At a time when business transformation is a top priority for organisations, it is positive that the majority (75%) of CIOs understand how IT functions could support their organisation's innovation strategies. This increased focus on digital and new business requirements places a greater demand on the IT department to be a centre of innovation. However, challenges remain as only 35% of respondents believe their IT function is considered a credible hub of innovation by the business.
Kurt Proctor-Parker, Deloitte Consulting Technology partner and leader of the CIO program, says: "It seems as if IT budget cuts are largely behind us, with companies investing more in IT, innovation and key areas such as digital. 40% of the Australian CIOs reported that they had not experienced any movement in their budgets over the past year and their current IT priorities are around strengthening risk and security and developing IT staff and skills.
"Business transformation today is both fundamentally driven by and reliant upon the fast changing world of technology. It is therefore no surprise that the CIO's role will be transformed over the next few years into a more strategic advisory role, especially in terms of developing and delivering business strategy. Some IT leaders are already playing a far stronger role at executive level; this is underpinned by the finding that over a third of CIOs consider their next role to be that of COO or CEO," said Mr Proctor-Parker.
The survey details how it is up to the Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) industries to weigh up the unique strengths and capabilities of each business, and consider where the opportunities lie so they can refocus their investment dollars on the global growth sectors.
"The low risk way to do this is to reallocate resources and people. The ICT industry is in fact best placed of all industries to embrace the flexibility of digital, to undertake the transformation programs around areas of innovation, to move the best performers to the newer parts of the business that promise growth. Flexibility, transformation and digital is the coding of the ICT sector," added Mr Proctor-Parker.
The survey highlighted the disconnect between what technology leaders believe they can achieve through IT and innovation – and how they think the business views their capability to do this. As a result, many IT functions are still struggling to partner with the business, with over 60% of global respondents rating their business partnering capabilities as either "fair" or "poor". For this reason, developing and implementing a dedicated business partnering function should be a top priority.
In Australia it appears CIOs require help with business partnerships, either because the business does not understand what they do or because they do not understand what the business wants from them.
This relates to the next big challenge identified in the survey; a shortage of good talent, as CIOs struggle to find the right blend of technology expertise and business skills to support business demands. This is directly linked to IT business partnering barriers, as this process requires people who not only have the technological skills, but can also think strategically and communicate effectively.
Proctor-Parker says: "We are confident there are many untapped opportunities lying ahead for the CIO. They have never played a more prominent role in the boardroom, nor have they had more opportunities to get closer to the business strategy than they have now. While we still have some way to go, especially in terms of improving the IT business relationship, the perception of IT is changing as more organisations realise the strategic importance of this function. This is a positive move in the right direction."
Key findings include:
"It is crucial CIOs use their secured seat at the boardroom table well. They need a strong working knowledge of their organisation's goals and objectives and are also able to articulate the role technology can play in achieving them," concluded Mr Proctor-Parker.

Asian Stocks Mixed As Ukraine Concerns Resurface
(RTTNews.com) - Asian stocks ended mixed on Monday as caution set in after five days of gains. Another bout of tensions in Ukraine and muted U.S. cues sapped risk appetite as investors await the release of the minutes from the Bank of England and Federal Reserve meetings later in the week.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Friday that Ukrainian forces had attacked and destroyed part of a column of Russian military vehicles that crossed on to Ukrainian soil and part of it no longer exists. The Russian government, however, denied the claims and has accused the Ukrainian government of trying to block efforts to provide humanitarian aid.
China's Shanghai Composite index rose 0.57 percent to 2,239.47, an eight-month high, as gains in technology and shipping stocks outweighed weakness in the property sector. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended virtually unchanged at 24,955.46 as investors digested weaker-than-expected Chinese economic data.
New home prices in most Chinese cities fell in July from the previous month, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed. Prices fell in 64 out of the total 70 cities last month even as local governments eased property curbs. Property prices in Hangzhou dropped the most, by 2.5 percent in July from the previous month, while prices in major cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen fell 1.4 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively.
Another report from the Ministry of Commerce showed that foreign direct investment into China logged a double-digit decline in July. FDI fell 16.95 percent from the prior year to $7.81 billion and by 0.4 percent to $71.14 billion during January to July.
Japanese shares rose slightly, with transport and oil stocks pacing the gainers amid lack of any major near-term triggers. The benchmark Nikkei average gained 0.03 percent to finish at 15,322.60, extending its winning streak to the sixth consecutive session. Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. shares soared 15.4 percent. The company denied media reports that Swiss drug giant Roche Holding AG., its majority shareholder, is looking to take control of the company.
Among other top gainers, Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, Dentsu, Obayashi Corp and Tokyo Electron rose 3-4 percent. Mobile carrier SoftBank Corp rose 0.4 percent after announcing the sale of corporate bonds. Nintendo rallied 4 percent on a report it would offer an online Pokemon trading-card game on Apple Inc.'s iPad.
Australian shares ended firmly in positive territory, led by gains in defensive stocks. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index moved in a narrow range before closing 0.37 percent higher at 5,587 as investors reacted to a slew of corporate earnings reports. National Australia Bank shares lost 1.6 percent. The lender posted a 7 percent rise in cash earnings in the three months to June 30 and said it would need to make additional provisions of at least 245 million pounds in relation to misconduct issues in its U.K. business.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia rose 0.3 percent as it unveiled plans to raise $2 billion via subordinated bonds. ANZ and Westpac both advanced about half a percent each. In the mining sector, BHP Billiton rose 0.3 percent and Rio Tinto edged up 0.1 percent. Newcrest Mining shares fell 0.8 percent.

The company reported a five-fold surge in full-year profit but said earnings growth will slow in the near term as Australian businesses and consumers remain cautious.

On a yearly basis, new car sales eased 0.4 percent after dipping 2.2 percent in the previous month.
Seoul shares fell on institutional selling amid lingering tensions in Ukraine and Iraq. The benchmark Kospi average dropped 0.49 percent to 2,053.13.
New Zealand shares declined, dragged down by energy stocks as two new polls showed declining support for the ruling National Party. The benchmark NZX-50 index dropped 0.14 percent to 5,071.12 in quiet trading. MightyRiverPower slid 0.6 percent, TrustPower shed 0.7 percent and Genesis Energy declined 1.4 percent, while Contact Energy ended flat after saying its board of directors are actively considering a capital return to shareholders.

In economic releases, a monthly survey measuring activity in New Zealand's services sector continued to expand in July, the latest purchasing managers' index from Business NZ revealed with a score of 58.4. That's up sharply from the upwardly revised June reading of 55.2.
Elsewhere, India's Sensex was rallying 1.1 percent and Indonesian shares were marginally higher, while Singapore's Straits Times index was down 0.2 percent and the Taiwan Weighted average dropped 0.7 percent. Singapore's non-oil domestic exports continued to decline in July as exports of electronic and non-electronic products fell, though at a less than expected rate, official data revealed.
U.S. stocks ended a choppy session mixed on Friday, as investors digested a mixed batch of economic data and kept a wary eye on Ukraine. Inflationary pressures remained modest across the economy in July, official data showed, easing market worries the Fed may raise interest rates soon. Industrial production edged higher in July while consumer confidence unexpectedly declined to a nine-month low in August, separate reports showed. The Dow slid 0.3 percent and the S&P 500 ended nearly flat, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.3 percent.

Practicing Faith from Edge of the Inside
But if you are both inside and outside, you are the ultimate threat, the ultimate reformer and the ultimate invitation. -- Fr. Richard Rohr
But if you are both inside and outside, you are the ultimate threat, the ultimate reformer and the ultimate invitation. -- Fr. Richard Rohr
Social media creates any number of occasions for errant critique. Ernest Goodman interrupted his regularly scheduled programming about Scripture translation to raise the issue of the ethics of critique in a global social media world subject to the whims of those able to push "publish."
John Piper and the Gospel Coalition took aim at missional authors Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost. Incidentally, I facilitated an online course with Hirsch on his book The Forgotten Ways for Biblical Seminary a few years ago. According to Piper, in the video, he received a paragraph of a recent book by Hirsch and Frost, The Faith of Leap, from the Gospel Coalition. I have not read the book so any opinion I formed about the book would be un-informed. Too bad others refuse to assume such a position.
Goodman likened Piper's critique to a MacArthurian move. May be. I think it follows the pattern set by D. A. Carson. Rather than investigate the claims of some in the Emerging Church at the time, Carson read what he felt he needed to then wrote a book that suggested he knew how to be conversant. I realize that in a bygone day that meant something like becoming familiar with and so reading someone's thoughts may well have sufficed. That was then, this is now.
Tim Keller recently remarked that he wished we were still living in the day when what someone wrote had the time to be ruminated over – maybe as much as two years – before being blasted. Would that then over that two year period, given the modernization of communication, someone might pick up a phone, offer to Skype call, or get a little Face Time, and ask questions before declaring a position false to the gospel. Even more so in our day since these possibilities are real. Not Piper.
Ernest pointed out that the move was reminiscent of the now in-famous "Farewell Rob Bell" tweet. Making harsh claims with little more than a paragraph read seems more tabloid-esque rather than Christ-like. But, who of Piper's peers would dare call him and suggest he may have exhibited a bit of theological hubris and if not careful may end up ignoring the Sword of Damocles? It seems no one. As Goodman pointed out in the comments, every Piper fan-boy would gladly re-tweet all the good. When, however, he may have demonstrated a less than thoughtful approach, it is left alone.
I am sure Hirsch and Frost would have considered a conversation with Piper if he would have asked. But, maybe Piper is only open to doing so with Rick Warren who likely has greater visibility than the Australian friends. Surely, before you could allege the pair are "belittling the glory of God" and "damaging the mission of Christ," you would want to be more informed about their views than less.
The demand for site traffic makes actions incongruous with Christian charity more the norm than the exception.
What would be your solution? Goodman seems to suggest the need for established guidelines. I am not sure a new law would help except that if we have no peers to whom we are accountable, then maybe we need more an external guide to remind us of Jesus if our internals seem a bit out of balance from time to time.

"Everyone loved it! we chose the design exactly as the example showed it- with the fancy shape. everyone told us how much they loved it! so unique and modern, yet still classic feeling. great card."
"The quality of these annoucements was fanstastic. Even the texture of the paper was luxurious. They are so nice that I don't feel nearly as bad about not sending out birth announcements until my daughter was almost 5 months old!"
"I used this design for my daughter's birth announcement. I was very happy with it as it gave room for a nice big picture and announced her birth in more of a story form instead of just a few facts scattered across the page, as some announcements are designed. I was able to add another sentence on to the original wording without having to change the font size, though any more lines than that would have caused me to size it smaller. Overall the turnout was great. My only other comment was that the the final product looked ever so slightly grainy in the flesh tones on her arm. No idea why it was one spot (on all of them) and not over the whole picture but I doubt anyone other than me noticed. Her smile stole the show!"
"This greeting is unique and so different from the others! It was a must have for us. Quality and design were excellent! Thanks for making our birth announcements memorable!"
"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It is simple and beautiful. The card stock was thick and felt very high end. We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."

Distracted driving talk Sept. 26 at Boys & Girls Club
LACONIA — On Thursday, September 26 nationally-recognized Distracted Driving Speaker Jennifer Smith will lead a discussion on the risks of talking or texting while driving. The discussion will begin at 7 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club in Laconia (719 North Main Street).
Jennifer Smith has been an advocate against distracted driving since 2008 when her mother was killed by a preoccupied driver talking on his cell phone. She now travels the country speaking at schools and giving public presentations on the dangers of cell phone use and driving.
Smith has worked closely with Oprah Winfrey on her No Phone Zone Campaign – appearing on her first episode 'American's New Deadly Obsession' in January, 2009. She has become one of the nation's experts on the dangers of distracted driving, also appearing on Fox News, CNN, Larry King Live, 20/20, and Rock Center. Smith also works with families who have lost a loved one by helping them to turn their senseless tragedies into constructive action.
Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams and Dr. Jean Petterson of the Laconia Clinic have collaborated to bring this important program to the Lakes Region.
"As a Pediatrician safety education is a very important focus. If we can make the public aware of how dangerous distracted driving is, we can save lives," explains Petterson. "No conversation is worth losing your life, or taking the life of another. Let your voicemail pick up your call, or pull over to talk. We hope Jennifer Smith's message will resonate to help keep everyone safe on the road."
"The evening with Jennifer Smith will be an opportunity to open a dialogue on talking and texting while driving," states Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams. "Distracted driving is a national epidemic that kills thousands each year. Our hope is to educate our friends and neighbors, encouraging them to hang up and drive, in order to save lives on our roadways."
For more information on the Hang Up & Drive presentation please call the Office of Public Relations & Marketing at LRGHealthcare at 527-2895 or visit www.jennifersmith-distracteddriving.com.

Meredith Library Celebrates Banned Books Week 2013
MEREDITH — Did you know that since the year 2000, there have been 5,450 official attempts to remove books from school and public libraries across the United States? Over the past year alone, there were over 450 attempts in the U.S. to control what books and information you and your family have access to. From classics like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Great Gatsby," to contemporary favorites like "Harry Potter" and "Captain Underpants," few titles have been immune to the effects of attempted censorship.
The Meredith Public Library's mission statement and core values lay out how the library and its staff are here "to provide fair and equal access for all... to knowledge in various media formats." And it was with similar intent that Banned Books Week was founded in 1982, when public libraries, along with educators and book sellers from all over the country, began uniting during the final week of September to mount informative displays and host free-speech events in order to raise awareness for censorship in our country, both attempted and successful. Banned Books Week serves as a reminder for all Americans that reading is not something that we should take for granted, and that censorship in any form is a dangerous act along the edge of a slippery slope.
This year, the Meredith Public Library is excited to have a variety of programs planned for Banned Books Week 2013, which takes place over the week of September 22-28.
The library will be kicking off the week by hosting a "Read-Out!" on Tuesday, September 24 from 3-4 p.m., when the public is invited to come in and read a passage from their favorite banned or challenged book. If you'd like, we'll even be equipped to record your reading, and then upload it to the Banned Books Week Virtual Read-Out page on Youtube.com, where your video might get posted alongside anti-censorship messages from authors like Judy Bloom, James Patterson, and Lauren Myracle.
Patrons of all ages are invited to participate in Banned Books Week events at the Meredith Public Library. More information on these and many other library events can be found on our website at Meredithlibrary.org, or by calling 279-4303.

Alternative Process Photographic Images on Display at New Hampton School
NEW HAMPTON — New Hampton School's Galletly Gallery is featuring photographic images in alternative process by Northwood artist Scott Bulger now through October 12.
The public is invited to a reception for the artist on Friday, September 27, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
In "Memento Mori", or "Remember you will die", Bulger's large scale photographic images ask us to remember that we will all someday cease to exist, as will everything around us. "In examining our mortality and our uncertainties, and confronting them, hopefully our fear can be replaced with understanding. We exist for but a blink of an eye. The world is not about us, we are about the world."
Bulger's previous work has been displayed in many exhibits, published in text books, won numerous awards, and is included in many private collections. In 2001, "A Portrait of the Yucatan ", a collection of photographs from Mexico was published. His second book, "Khronikos" was published in July, 2010.
Scott currently teaches "Photo I" and "Photo II" as an adjunct professor at NHTI, Concord Community College, and has previously taught "Introduction to Photoshop". Before joining the faculty at NHTI, he taught "Black and White Darkroom" and "Introduction to Digital Photography" at Kimball-Jenkins School of Art in Concord.
The Galletly Gallery is located on the second floor of New Hampton School's Moore Center. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
Photographic images in alternative process by Northwood artist Scott Bulger are on display at New Hampton School. (Courtesy photo)

Finally I got the collision detection to work !, I've been stuck with this for a long time.
I just couldn't understand how to make it work and finally after trying several methods I got it to work just as I wanted.
At first following freeaks tutorial I couldn't get the character to bounce back to the floor after hitting his head in a platform.Then I changed the collision detection method which fix another problem but didn't let me take the future x,y test the collision and decide what to do,instead the character stopped after touching the platform which didn't let me move side ways.
FINALLY, I figure out to update the position only after testing for the collision.
This makes me sooo happy because I've been stuck with collision detection for weeks,finally I can work in something else and advance with the game,only one month left !
I'll do my best !
So, I've been trying to learn to program in java after seeing what was possible, all thanks to Notch.Maybe some day I'll be making a living out of fun games like Minecraft.
Anyway I found this - http://slick.javaunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?t=3081 -
I immediately knew I wanted to participate, what a perfect way of learn more about programming and having some sort of "fund" while doing it.
I started to think about the game I would do, and while I was in my way to pay some bills I thought, "mmmm, what about making a game where the more time it takes me to finish the stage the more difficult it becomes", like I'm in my way to pay some debts and if I take too long they take away my 47" plasma tv(?) so the game resolution goes from widescreen to normal making the game more difficult.
Which was a dumb setting because I couldn't think of more stuff to take away to make the game appealing, but nevertheless I liked the idea.

Some of the fallout from Manning-WikiLeaks case
Tuesday - 7/30/2013, 7:35pm EDT
Associated Press
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) -- Tuesday's verdict means Pfc. Bradley Manning could face up to 136 years in prison for the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history. Here is some other fallout from the case:
Other military careers were ruined besides Manning's. Fifteen people were disciplined as the result of an Army investigation into the whole affair. Officials decline to name them, tell what their misconduct was or how they were punished because of a long-standing policy of protecting the privacy of personnel, said Lt. Col. Stephen J. Platt, an Army spokesman.
But court documents and testimony revealed Manning's superiors ignored or mishandled his mental health and behavior problems -- including numerous outbursts and an email he sent a superior with a photo of himself dressed as a woman. His problems should have disqualified him from going to Iraq and should have prompted the immediate suspension of his security clearance after he got there, the defense said. Witnesses also depicted an intelligence unit slightly out of control, with poor leadership and analysts playing music, movies and video games on their work computers in the war zone.
The Defense Department is still working on tightening security. It has made it harder for one person acting alone to download material from a classified network and place it on an unclassified one. That is, the use of thumb drives, CDs and other removable media is now limited and must be approved by supervisors. Manning brought a rewritable CD labeled "Lady Gaga" to work, erased the music and downloaded government documents onto it.
The department is still implementing other steps such as a system to make it easier to trace action back to the user, a smart card system to limit access to government websites containing sensitive information, and a program to identify insider threats, said Lt. Col. Damien Pickart, a Pentagon spokesman.
The release of diplomatic cables, warzone logs and videos embarrassed the U.S. and its allies, but no information pointing to specific damage to national security or interests beyond that. U.S. officials warned of dire consequences in the days immediately after the first disclosures in July 2010. But a Pentagon review later suggested those fears might have been overblown. Indeed, the Pentagon assessment determined in August 2010 that the initial leaks had not compromised intelligence sources or practices, although it said the disclosures could still cause significant damage to U.S. security interests. No further report has been publicly released. The judge in Manning's case did not allow testimony during the trial phase on whether damage had been done, but both sides can present that kind of evidence during sentencing.
Whistleblower and transparency advocates have decried Manning being charged with aiding the enemy, saying it could set a dangerous precedent for freedom of the press in the age of the Internet.
Manning's prosecutors argued that making information available on the Internet -- whether by giving it to WikiLeaks, or putting it in a personal blog or releasing it to newspaper -- can amount to aiding the enemy. The defense called that a "slippery slope" that could discourage those who want to expose government wrongdoing by taking information to the press.
"This is a new situation that courts have not yet had to deal with," said national security lawyer Mark Zaid.
He said aiding the enemy "historically was literally giving information, such as 'Here's the location of troops across enemy lines,' to the enemy so the enemy could react. It was never intended nor envisioned to deal with the current situations we have."
Associated Press videographer Sagar Meghani contributed to this report from Washington.

The Isolator is a bizarre helmet invented in 1925 that encourages focus and concentration by rendering the wearer deaf, piping them full of oxygen, and limiting their vision to a tiny horizontal slit. The Isolator was invented by Hugo Gernsback, editor of Science and Invention magazine, member of "The American Physical Society," and one of the pioneers of science fiction.

Last year, more than 900 volunteers helped Volunteers of America Oregon's dedicated employees to serve over 17,000 people in the Portland metro area. Here is the story of just one of the hundreds of individuals who give of their time, talents, and effort to help us make a difference in the lives of so many:
Srs Sharon and Pat came to Lambert House at the end of the growing season and began working with the elderly participants to put the beds to sleep, practice songs to sing during spring planting, and sprout seeds in-doors. This process roots those slipping into dementia in natural cycles and gets them excited about what is coming next.
"In life, we show up and are willing to be ourselves with love, compassion, and respect in a world that can be devoid of that for frail elderly," explained Sr. Pat. "As a culture we are beginning to create life-giving, inclusive, loving communities of respect."
Read about how volunteering has enabled Srs Sharon & Pat to become part of a community dedicated to reciprocity.

Racing fans who enjoyed the spectacle of open-wheel single-seaters racing around Baltimore's Inner Harbor and past Camden Yards where the Orioles and the Ravens play may be disheartened to read of the latest developments. But take heart: it ain't over, they say, until the fat lady sings, and in this case she appears only to have taken a brief intermission.
The future of the Baltimore Grand Prix (an IndyCar race, not to be confused with Formula 1 grands prix that typically take the host country's, not the host city's name) has been in jeopardy for several months now. As with many things, the issue boiled down to money: while most communities support such racing events financially with public funds, the organizers of the Baltimore Grand Prix were expected to remunerate the city to the tune of $1.5 million. At the end of the day, Baltimore Racing Development failed to meet its financial commitments, so the city has revoked the firm's contract only one year into its five-year term.
So does that mean the race won't be held again? The signs seem to point in a positive direction, as the city holds discussions with other organizers interested in taking BRD's place. Series organizers appear to have faith that a new deal will be put in place in time for the upcoming season, with the event currently on the official IndyCar Series race calendar for September 2.
The new calendar, meanwhile, drops the races in Milwaukee, New Hampshire and Kentucky. Las Vegas was also removed from the calendar following the now-infamous Wheldon crash, while the race in Japan was replaced by a new grand prix in Qingdao, China.

I am a musician, a taker of pictures, a rider of bikes, a father to plants, and roller of skateboards (no tricks). And I advocate Free Software and GNU/Linux.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Author's Choice of Terminology License. Rationale, hardly, but a few points I'd like to write about.
"Because the Debian developers prefer the name GNU/Linux opposed to just "Linux" they will call Debian a "GNU/Linux Distribution" and because Canonical prefers the name Linux as opposed to "GNU/Linux" they will call Ubuntu a "Linux Distribution." This is generally because they want to make everyone happy, by referring to the Distros by terms those whom advocate for them prefer."
"This behavior is more appropriate than referring to all Distros as "Linux" despite what the authors prefer their work be called."
"The Author's Choice of Terminology License, with much more needed development, would ensure this behavior, by restricting the distributor of the author's software to the terminology chosen for it, either GNU/Linux, Linux, or even Lignux, Free Software or Open Source."
This puts the ACTL in a totally different perspective for me. I originally thought it was all about restricting the user to call the operating system GNU/Linux, which I liked, but it was not a very good reason by itself for a license.
"Note: All development has stopped on the ACT license. It is incompatible with the GNU GPL version 2. To sub-license the GNU GPL version 2 with the ACT license will automatically terminate your rights as a result of section 1 and section 4 under the GNU GPL version 2."
This is true, and I can see why it was discontinued.
"Unless compatibility with the GNU GPL changes, the ACT license is discontinued."
Which I found interesting. Because section 4 of the GNU GPL version 3 doesn't restrict sub-licensing with the GPL, and I don't believe version 3 does at all. In fact it allows for "Additional Terms" including non-permissive additions.
So would the ACT license be incompatible with GPL version 3? I'll have to research this a little. Please comment if you'd like, any information would be appreciated.

The other reason Charlie alters the chemistry in the room is because he is a celebrity. A singular kind of celebrity, certainly. But he's probably the most famous man in Detroit who isn't (1) Matthew Stafford, (2) Berry Gordy, or (3) in jail for sexting and also pillaging the city coffers (see Kilpatrick, Kwame—the first mayor in modern history to be convicted of a felony while still in office). Besides being the author of a best-selling book about how fucked Detroit is (Detroit: An American Autopsy, published earlier this year), Charlie got famous by basically reinventing local news reporting. Like for instance, in one segment he waits with a woman who has called 911 after her house was apparently broken into. He picks her up some McDonald's, searches her house for assailants, washes his pants, and takes a bath, all hours before the cops arrive. (Asterisk on this one: probably the only segment in the history of local network news in which producers at the station had to pixelize a reporter's balls.) A million people watched that on YouTube—not including the people who watched it on TV, or on the station's website, etc.—which is 40 percent more than the population of Detroit. Or in another segment, Charlie plays a game of golf across an eighteen-mile swath of Detroit in a pair of old sneakers and some shorts to show just how empty the place is. (As he'll remind me over the course of the days we spend together, you could fit Manhattan and San Francisco into just the abandoned portions of Detroit.) Or earlier this year, in a piece that's become known as "A Plant, a Perch, and a Prophylactic," Charlie and a cameraman canoed the length of the infamous River Rouge, which turned into kind of an antic tone poem about desolation and environmental degradation and the modern urban landscape. All of these videos had a life of their own outside the realm of broadcast journalism. All of them became, for lack of less annoying phraseology, viral videos illustrating something about Detroit.

Labor Day means many things to many people, the unofficial last day of summer, an odd day off before school really kicks in. A day to sleep in and maybe to grill out with friend and family. Yes, it is a great day to do all of those things, but in reality, the day represents so much more.
Labor Day celebrates all working men and women in this country, but it is the day to recognize unions. Collective bargaining and actions by organized labor led to benefits affecting all working people in this country such as the 40-hour workweek, overtime, benefits, safety standards, child labor laws and the creation of middle class in this country. Rules that began in a contract have become statutes and standards for everyone. But labor unions and our members cannot rest on past success.
Unions and working people face unique challenges today. Gone are the days of getting a decent-paying job, directly out of high school or college, with no more than a desire to work hard. Gone, too, is the feeling of community created by living and working in an area where both bosses and workers had stakes and ties to the region. In this environment, the focus of unions has had to change and evolve into more than just the watch dogs on the shop floor.
Labor has become the voice for all working people in helping ensure our children have jobs and possibilities.
America has always been the land of opportunity. Anything was possible. But times have changed. The global economy has created a race to the bottom in terms of wages and benefits.
Shipping jobs overseas might help boost shareholder profits or inflate the corporate bottom line, but what does it do for people here, who are the intended consumers? Likewise, how can workers have a collective voice if laws are aimed at eliminating unions?
Labor unions have evolved to position our members to work together with employers to create win-win situations. An employee's success should be a success for the employer and vice versa. Concessions during hard times should be remembered during good times. Likewise, unions are the political and social conscious speaking for all working people. It has become the role of unions to protect the interests and rights of all working Americans. We are the voice.
But unions do not exist in a vacuum. Erosion of the rights of unions to organize and represent workers affects everyone and must stop. America will be strong as long as we have a vibrant middle class, with good American jobs available in this country.
It is our duty as working people to stand up for each other. An attack on one worker in any sector is an attack on all of us. Let's keep America strong for all who are here and future generation.
