Weeklong celebration Nov. 2-7 will culminate with tribute concert honoring Smokey Robinson
About Smokey Robinson:
Save for founder Berry Gordy, no single figure has been more closely allied with the Detroit-based recording empire known as Motown than William "Smokey" Robinson. In addition to leading the Miracles, Robinson served as a Motown producer, songwriter, talent scout and Gordy's most trusted confidant and right-hand man.
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles scored twenty-seven pop-soul hits at Motown between 1960 and 1971, including the classics "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," "Shop Around," "Going to a Go-Go" and "I Second That Emotion." The Miracles' brightest moments on record - "Ooo Baby Baby," "The Tracks of My Tears" and "The Tears of a Clown" foremost among them - still kindle memories for those who came of age in the Sixties.
Robinson also wrote and produced for numerous other Motown artists, including Marvin Gaye ("Ain't That Peculiar," "I'll Be Doggone"), the Temptations ("Get Ready," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl"), Mary Wells ("My Guy," "You Beat Me to the Punch") and the Marvelettes ("Don't Mess With Bill," "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game").
Robinson later turned to a solo career where he continued his hitmaking tradition with "Just to See Her," "Quiet Storm," "Cruisin'," and "Being with You," among others. In 2004, he released his first gospel album, Food for the Spirit. His most recent album, Smokey & Friends, peaked at #2 on the R&B charts and #12 on the Billboard 200 and included collaborations with Elton John, James Taylor, Mary J. Blige, and John Legend. Earlier this year, Robinson received a BET Lifetime Achievement Award.
About the Annual Music Masters Series:
The Annual Music Masters series, a co-production of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, celebrates the lives and careers of artists who changed the shape and sound of rock and roll music. Each year, the Music Masters series explores the legacy of a pioneering rock and roll figure in a range of events that includes Museum exhibits, lectures, films, a major conference and a tribute concert benefiting the Rock Hall's education programs. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, these events provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2012, Chuck Berry took the stage, and during a performance of his song "Reelin' And Rockin'" he surprised the audience with his signature move – "the Duck Walk." In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. The pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read The Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy Awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." At the first Annual Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. In 2008, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash. Janis Joplin was honored in 2009 by Grammy winner Lucinda Williams with a song she composed especially for the occasion, and in 2010, Dave Bartholomew brought down the house with a performance in tribute of honorees Fats Domino and Bartholomew himself. In 2011, Aretha Franklin was not planning to perform, but at the last minute she requested a piano and took the stage to perform Leon Russell's "A Song for You," which she recorded in 1974. During the 19th Annual Music Masters honoring the Everly Brothers, Don Everly took the stage with the rest of the cast – that included Graham Nash, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris and more – for two run-throughs of the 1957 chart topping hit "Bye Bye Love."
The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment of all Ohioans.

Cupid isn't the only one taking aim at you this time of year. Valentine's Day provides a bonanza of opportunities for scammers to hit their targets.
At online dating sites, crooks impersonate exciting new love interests, who before long need some money from you. All too often they get it: Their average take is $10,000. But it's not just those who seek a cyber-sweetheart that get swindled. Even sober non-romantics can be taken in by the scammers' holiday-themed hoaxes this time of year. So be on your guard. Here's what to look out for:
"Gotcha" greetings. Opening an electronic greeting card sent to your computer is "one of the easiest ways to invite malware onto your machine," says Brenda Moretto, of online security company McAfee.
Don't click on links or follow instructions to download software that you supposedly need to view a card. Doing either can unleash malicious programs that turn your computer into a spam-sending "botnet" or give cyber-crooks remote access to your personal information, online bank accounts and passwords.
Legitimate e-card notifications include a confirmation code that allows you to open the greeting at the card company's website. If there's no card at that site, the message was a scam. Ignore any messages sent by strangers, or bearing titles like "email@example.com," "friend" or "secret admirer." And be careful even if a message has a friend's name — scammers can also impersonate them.
Sale-related spam. Expect an in-box littered with offers for deals on chocolates, jewelry, roses and other Valentine's Day-themed products. But be skeptical unless the offer is from a company you've done business with and which has your contact information. Links within emails can download malware, direct you to a scammer-run website to glean your credit card without delivering anything, or lead you to a copycat website selling cheap counterfeits.
How can you spot scam websites?
• Start by carefully reading the Web address. For instance, look at the difference between these two addresses: "www.tiffany.com" and "www.tiffanyco.mn" (a Mongolian site exposed by Scam Alert). If it looks fishy, don't click.
• Hover your mouse over the link (without clicking) to see its full address.
• Copy and paste (again, without clicking) the link into a Microsoft Word document. Then right click on the pasted link and select "Edit Hyperlink" from the menu that appears, which should open a pop-up window that shows the address to which the link directs.
• Copy and paste the link to http://browsingprotection.f-secure.com/swp/ to check the safety of the website.

Corvallis, Ore. -- (The Daily Barometer) Oregon State Athletic Director Bob De Carolis announced Monday that head coach Craig Robinson had been fired. With the news, uncertainty of next year's squad has proliferated.
Robinson's exit is preceded by the departure of six players from last year's team, only three of whom were seniors. Scholarship athletes Hallice Cooke, Eric Moreland and Challe Barton announced their intentions to leave Oregon State for good in the interim period between De Carolis publicly backing Robinson on March 28 and eventually firing him Monday.
The Beavers filled two of those scholarships in that period of time, signing Cameron Oliver out of Grant High School in Sacramento and getting a commitment from Nick Faust, a transfer from Maryland who will have one year of eligibility after sitting out the upcoming season.
It is unknown if Oliver, Faust or the other three members of the 2014 recruiting class will jump ship with the recent news.
In a press conference Monday, De Carolis denied the idea that Cooke, Moreland and Barton left specifically because of Robinson.
"It wasn't anything like that," he said. "They all had their personal reasons."
De Carolis said that OSU would likely release the incoming class of its scholarships if requested once a new coach is named.
"If (the recruits) want to come to OSU, I'm sure that we would welcome them," he said. "If they wanted to… move out, I would say 'Let's wait to see who the new coach is.'"
Soon after the news came out Monday morning, Oliver tweeted "Yo man this is crazy …. Smh."
Oliver had two offers, one from Oregon and one from Oregon State. The other members of the incoming freshmen class are Chai Baker and Isaiah Manderson. Baker's only scholarship offer was from OSU, while Manderson had official offers from Auburn, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi State and Tennessee.
According to Roberto Nelson, who just finished his senior year with the Beavers, OSU's success next year will depend on retaining the players and commits currently on the roster.
"It could be (a rebuilding year), depending on if more people leave," Nelson said in a phone interview Monday. OSU will only return 12.7 points per game from players who appeared in at least 25 games.
"From that standpoint, it probably is (a rebuilding year)."
As for a new coach, De Carolis and OSU have yet to begin the search for the replacement.
"We don't have a candidate in mind," De Carolis said. "We have a lot of help from the media giving us potential candidates, and that's great. Keep them coming."
Even without the added chaos of Robinson's firing, the Beavers have plenty of questions to answer about next year's roster.
OSU is without departing seniors Nelson, Angus Brandt and Devon Collier, who accounted for 46.7 points per game as a group. Add that to the absence of Cooke, Moreland and Barton, and the Beavers lose 87.9 percent of their scoring heading into next year.
Still, Nelson feels that the team is in good shape.
"The program is going to be on the up," he said. "Regardless of Robinson leaving, it's not like we don't have good players. It's just a matter of putting it together."
Added former player Joe Burton, who played for Robinson from 2009-13, "Things always change. You have to make the best of it and that's what coach would have done. The recruiting class coming in would have been a good start."
The new arrivals will likely be the center of attention with the leading returning scorer for the Beavers being junior-to-be Langston Morris-Walker at 4.0 points per game.
Oliver, Faust, Baker and Manderson are joined by Gary Payton II, who is transferring after two years at Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City.
ESPN.com lists Oliver, Baker and Manderson as three-star recruits. Baker and Manderson are both Florida natives, ranked as the No. 14 and No. 17 players from the state, respectively.
Baker and Payton II are both 6-foot-3 shooting guards, who will look to replace departed guards Nelson, Cooke and Barton.
Oliver and Manderson, meanwhile, add some height to the Beavers' roster. Oliver is a 6-foot-8 power forward listed by ESPN.com as the No. 26 player from California. Weighing in at 220 pounds, Oliver is not a far cry from Moreland's 6-foot-10, 215-pound frame.
At 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds, Manderson is nearly identical to Brandt, who played center this year at 6-foot-10, 246 pounds.
Of course, the development of the entire incoming class will rely in part on the unnamed coaching replacement. Burton admitted that he couldn't evaluate the team's outlook with Robinson's recently vacated seat still empty.
"They have to find a coach first," he said. "I don't even know."

We've been waiting and hoping for more from New Zealand architect Andre Hodgskin who first wowed us with BACHKIT™, a gorgeous holiday home of prefab pavilions designed in 2000. Hodgskin's newest design is every bit as enticing. With the iPAD™, Hodgskin brings a stylish, versatile option to the prefab world with a bevy of possible configurations, finishes and even a choice in how you'd like it to arrive – it can be manufactured off-site and transported whole or shipped as a kitset for on-site assembly.
The iPAD™ is offered in several versions: single, single with guest suite or double. The single fills 50 square meters of interior living space, with about the same area found in decks around the dwelling. A small guest suite with private bathroom can be added to this configuration off one of the decks.
The home can also expand with a second, full-scale module that adds a second bedroom. The two modules, surrounded by decks, can be arranged in a myriad of assemblies – L-shaped, offset, linear, contiguous or separated by decks – depending on the site or the owner's inclination. The possibilities give the iPAD™ a unique versatility.
The design is available in several exterior finishes to fit many tastes, and starts at $125,000 for the single, in New Zealand.

I know it's hard to come up with a prefab story every week, but please try harder next time (a bit eco-friendlier). I've seen loads of these projects lying around, available for "just" a bit more then 100k. But the actual application is not worth mentioning.

Techniques for improving memory go as far back as ancient Greece and Rome. The same strategies that Cicero used to memorize his speeches, medieval scholars used to memorize entire books. These memory pioneers figured out that the brain is more likely to retain visual or spatial information, so if you want to remember something your best strategy is to transform it into something else so colorful, exciting and different that you can't possibly forget it.
Brain Quiz: After age 20, thousands of brain cells die every day. True or False?
1. Associate hard-to-remember facts with some familiar space
One trick, known as the journey method or "memory palace," is to conjure up a familiar space in the mind's eye, and then populate it with images of whatever it is you want to remember. (For a shopping list, imagine a dancing can of soup on your front steps, rolls of toilet paper covering your front door, laundry detergent strewn across the foyer, etc.)
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Memory palaces don't necessarily have to be buildings. They can be routes through a town or station stops along a railway. They can be real or imaginary, as long as there's some semblance of order that links one place to the next (front steps, door, foyer, etc.), and are intimately familiar.
2. Use "chunking" to remember numbers, such as passwords, credit cards or bank accounts
Chunking is a way to decrease the number of items you have to remember by increasing the size of each item. Chunking is the reason that phone numbers are broken into two parts plus an area code and that credit card numbers are split into groups of four.
The classic explanation of chunking involves language. If you were asked to memorize the 22 letters HEADSHOULDERSKNEESTOES, and you didn't notice what they spelled, you'd almost certainly have a tough time with it. But break up those 22 letters into four chunks — HEAD, SHOULDERS, KNEES and TOES — and the task becomes a whole lot easier.
The same can be done with numbers. The 12-digit numerical string 120741091101 is pretty hard to remember. Break it into four chunks — 120, 741, 091, 101 — and it becomes a little easier. Turn it into two chunks, 12/07/41 and 09/11/01, and they're almost impossible to forget. You could even turn those dates into a single chunk of information by remembering it as "the two big surprise attacks on American soil."

Marie Morrone
The Vincent C. Morrone Scholarship Fund We warmly welcome Mrs. Marie Morrone as a member of the Sarah Bedell Cooper Society. With a thoughtful and generous gift, Mrs. Morrone has established the Vincent C. Morrone Scholarship Fund in memory of her late husband, Vincent, EE '63, who died earlier this year at the age of 84. Vincent Morrone's story is a classic Cooper tale. He grew up in Manhattan, graduating from the Bronx High School of Science, and while working at his father's gas station and auto shop became interested in mechanics. The elder Mr. Morrone expected his son to join the family business, but Vincent's classmate, recognizing his friend's aptitude, urged him to apply to Cooper Union and he was accepted. Vincent became the first in his family to attend college. A rewarding 30-year career at Con Edison followed ¬–– first as an engineer and later, after earning an MBA at Wagner College, as an executive with the company. Vincent and Marie, who was a pharmacist, enjoyed almost 60 years of marriage and traveled the world in retirement. Mr. Morrone always intended to "give something back" to Cooper so that others would benefit from the same opportunities as the school had afforded to him. Mrs. Morrone chose to grant his wish now, while she is able to enjoy the rewards of her philanthropy. By combining an outright gift and a charitable gift annuity, she has been able to provide essential scholarship support for current students, while also earning life income for herself. Eventually, the charitable gift annuity will transform into a permanent endowment, helping Cooper sustain scholarship assistance for years to come. Marie met Vincent while he was a student at Cooper. Upon his graduation in 1963, she -- along with a dozen or so other wives – earned a "Pushing Hubby through School" award! Times may have changed, but what endures is Peter Cooper's commitment to "soaring minds," who will use their education to "secure the greatest good to the greatest number of youth in our City, our country, and the world." The entire Cooper Union community expresses it deep gratitude to Vincent and Marie Morrone for supporting emerging artists, architects and engineers in pursuit of their dreams.

This just goes to show anyone can be a scientist, regardless of age. A class of 8-10 year olds was enlisted by Dr. Beau Lotto of LottoLabs in England to study bees. Dr. Lotto wanted a fresh look at old data but what he got was more than that; the kids had taken the assignment to heart and ended up uncovering new findings regarding how bees look for food and decide which flowers might have the most nectar.

The reason I am entertaining the idea on going to the "new" spot is because my first deer I killed, I never set foot in that area until opening day. And I killed this big joker:
I have always had better luck just popping into a new area. I have hunted this new area a little bit. Lucky couldn't be found last rifle season and that are was flooded. Word got out about him also. Every hunter I talked to was chasing a buck like this in the same couple canyons, ridges etc. so I don't know for sure if lucky is still lucky.

Extensions of My Living Room
Do you have a lot of play dates at your house? I had one at my apartment this week, and I was so stressed about getting it clean. I love meet-ups so much more. Luckily the city gives options that feel like extensions of my living room. I've recently had a play date at the children's floor at the Hudson Park Library and another one upstairs at Whole Foods. These places are usually empty, have a few toys for the kids, contained, and always free!
Yesterday I took the kids to MoMA. Friday nights are free (4-8pm!), so I was shocked to see the children's wing so empty. We stayed in this room for over three hours! I chatted briefly with a new mom and my kids made a new friend. The books were good, all the toys were organized neatly in bins, and there were enough computers (4!) for all my kids to use. I would love to make this a Friday night tradition, but I know I probably won't.
Weigh in: Play dates at the house vs. play dates at public places vs. no play dates at all. I didn't have twins for nothing! The least they could do would be PLAY together. ha

We love having playdates at home. Its ok if your house does not look like Ikea magazine ;)ReplyDelete
Play dates in my house sometimes stress me out b/c, well, my 4yo doesn't like to share his toys. Probably b/c I'm such a bad mom and host so few play dates. I like play dates in my back yard, play dates at other people's houses (although, you know, that may require reciprocation), and park play dates. Love those fridge photos, btw.ReplyDelete
- JeannineMarch 30, 2012 at 6:38 PM
I'd have to have friends with young kids to have play dates. ha! Seriously though, for some reason I just mesh well with women who have older kids or whose kids are grown up. Besides you and Christine, I get nervous around woman my age for some reason. Strange, huh??ReplyDelete
yes! it's great...it's at the whole foods at Chambers streetReplyDelete
oh I love you jeannine!! we would have playdates all the time at my house if i lived closer because i REALLy wouldn't care if you saw my house a messy! you grew up with my mess, IN my mess--i couldn't fool you!ReplyDelete

Today's Track of the Day is a track by nu-disco producers Tiger & Woods, off their first full-length, Through The Green, released in July of this year on Running Back. Tiger & Woods, composed of producers Larry Tiger and David Woods, are pretty standard as far as what you can expect from nu-disco: drawn-out tracks, minimal arrangements, short loops, you get the idea. In this case, "Gin Nation" is an edit of a track by the British funk band Imagination, "Music and Lights."
In addition to Through The Green, Tiger & Woods put out a free mixtape earlier this year, titled Wiki & Leaks. If you dig "Gin Nation," both releases come highly recommended.

When he was hired by the Oakland Public Library in 1996, Pete Villaseñor discovered that free tax preparation was offered at some of its branches through AARP Foundation Tax-Aide.
What particularly interested Villaseñor, now manager of the César E. Chávez Branch, was that tax preparation help was offered in Spanish and English.
For many years Villaseñor, 45, prepared his own tax returns — often ending up with discrepancies. That changed five years ago when he decided to try Tax-Aide.
"It is so much easier to go to Tax-Aide. I would definitely recommend it," he said. "Our Spanish-speaking patrons are especially grateful for the help in their first language."
Begun in 1968, Tax-Aide now has more than 35,000 volunteers helping roughly 2.6 million taxpayers at some 6,000 sites nationwide.
Last year, about 3,100 Tax-Aide volunteers served nearly 192,000 California taxpayers, who received $92.7 million in federal refunds and $25 million in state refunds.
This year, Tax-Aide runs from Feb. 1 to April 15.
The program targets low- to middle-income taxpayers with a focus on older people, said Helen Crisman, of San Carlos, the Tax-Aide Pacific regional coordinator.
"But we will take [almost] anyone who walks through the door," Crisman said, noting that volunteers do not prepare complicated returns.
What to bring to a center
All of the volunteer preparers receive about a week of training. They also must pass an IRS certification test annually.
Clients are asked to bring these documents to their Tax-Aide appointment: last year's tax returns; forms related to income from employment, pensions, annuities, Social Security, dividends or other sources; and canceled checks or other paperwork showing payment of state or federal taxes. If filing jointly, your spouse should also attend.
Duane Anderson, 90, has been using the program for four years at the senior citizen center in his hometown of San Carlos.
The professionalism and pleasant demeanor of the volunteers has kept him going back.
"They put you at ease. And I've never had a problem with the IRS," Anderson said.

A CRIME ALERT has been UPDATED on the USC Division of Law Enforcement and Safety's website http://bit.ly/gpUqGQ
Type of Alert:
Armed Robbery - UPDATE
Date Posted:
April 1, 2012 at 12:05am
City of Columbia and University police have searched the area. The suspects have not been located at this time, nor has the suspect vehicle been seen on campus. Members of the Carolina Community are encouraged to report suspicious persons or any related crime tips to local law enforcement, or CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-888-CRIME-SC. To send anonymous tips via text or online, go to www.midlandscrimestoppers.com
Safety Tips:
- Travel on major sidewalks along major streets and avoid shortcuts. Well lit and well-traveled routes are best.
- The University has and encourages the use of several available shuttle services for transportation to and around campus such as the Evening Shuttle, Late Night Shuttle, APO, and others. Please go to http://www.sc.edu/vmps/shuttle.html for more information.
- Have a plan before going out. Make sure your friends know not to leave you alone or let you leave anywhere with someone other than the friends you came with. Stay in a group as much as possible.
- The best mode of travel is by vehicle but if you do choose to walk, travel in large groups and never alone. The larger the group of people you are with, the better (four or more is best).
- Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. If a place or situation doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Leave.
- If you feel unsafe or see suspicious activity or persons, seek safety in a well-populated area or building and call the police immediately by dialing 911.

Why does popular music change? Why do we, as creators and consumers of music and culture, rebel against what appears to be harmonious and correct? Although the answers to these questions may be many, the musical soundscape of Seattle during the early nineties gives an insight into how modern America consumes its ever-changing fads. Grunge music started in the mid to late-eighties in the garages of Seattle and epitomized everything mainstream rock at that time did not. After gaining popularity, this sound became trendy in the early nineties and eventually was turned into a culture fad that commercialism spread across the country. Using R. Murray Schafer's idea of soundscapes, varied "acoustic fields of study" (Reader, 99), I will analyze how the Grunge soundscape that emerged in Seattle in the late eighties and early nineties differed from mainstream rock at that time and how the Grunge sound went from a localized expression to a nationwide fascination causing the founders of the movement to revolt against its sudden popularity.
From the generation-defining guitar playing of Jimi Hendrix to the furious riffs first struck by Kurt Cobain, music from Seattle has proven to be both timeless and influential. The city's most iconic sonic-movement, however, was Grunge. Starting as a fusion of punk's energy and excitement with metal's heavy sound, Grunge quickly formed its own identity. Key groups in the early grunge movement include, but are not limited to, the Melvins, Mudhoney, Green River and the U-Men. The early Grunge bands are not given nearly enough credit for the formation of the genre due to the commercial success of their successors, but many had direct influences on later bands and often continued to tour with them. Many groups achieved commercial success in Grunge, but four stand out above the rest: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. What made the grunge movement so unique was that, in addition to coming from the same city, all were acquaintances and often played together either while in different groups or in previous years. Other key aspects of the movement were unkempt appearances consisting of everyday clothing and very few stage antics, both of which clashed with what mainstream rock up to that point had been about.
Grunge is a perfect example of how our preferences for music can shift drastically over a short period of time within one genre of music. While the eighties rock scene was about everything being bigger and flashier, the Grunge movement quickly took the genre back to being about the music. Although change in presentation was instrumental for this shift, the most important aspect to the change came from the music itself. Using the aspect of "keynotes" discussed by Schafer in his book, I plan to discuss how the "fundamental tone" (Reader, 100) present in Grunge is heavier, more complex and more emotionally driven than in the hair metal popular throughout most of the eighties. These discussions will be driven by examples given about guitar sound, style of singing and lyrical content among others. Without going into detail, overall themes in the music shifted from the glamour/partying lifestyle of the eighties metal bands to darker songs driven by personal issues such as drug abuse. This drug culture played a role in dismantling the Grunge movement both by separating groups with members who were using heavily and by killing key figures in the movement.
Although the Grunge movement was extremely popular and is still remembered today, it was relatively short lived. Very quickly, the music of Seattle traveled across the United States by way of MTV, and Grunge became a fashion statement/trend in addition to a style of music. Encapsulating the commercialization of the Grunge movement, top designers from New York began to create clothing lines in the "grunge style", but sold them for hundreds of dollars. It was factors such as this as well as not wanting his music to become commercialized that caused Kurt Cobain to famously wear his "grunge is dead" t-shirt. Unfortunately, as the music industry always does, it commercialized Grunge because it was what was trendy. Through this commercialization, profit instead of good music was turned into the main objective for the music. I plan on analyzing how the Grunge movement quickly went from being localized music to a national trend, and by doing this, will then discuss how this affected the different artists being brought into the spotlight and see if a trend develops between their fates. Grunge quickly faded from the American spotlight, but its music is still listened to today. What caused America to fall in love with Grunge as a genre of music? Also, what caused America to fall out of love with the fad of Grunge, and does this say something about how commercialization affects musicians in the industry today?
Blecha, Peter. Sonic Boom: The History of Northwest Rock, from "Louie Louie" to "Smells like Teen Spirit" New York: Backbeat, 2009. Print
Peter Blecha is an award winning author and historian. He has contributed to many distinguished publications including The Seattle Times, Vintage Guitar and Life. He is also the founder of the Northwest Music Archives and has been called "Seattle's unofficial curator of rock'n'roll" by Seattle Weekly. The broad audience intended to read this publication is all music fans, but the more focused audience is music fans from the Northwest as this book discusses the music scene in that region during the past fifty years. Unlike Yarm's Everybody Loves Our Town, Blecha's book discusses the history behind a large variety of Seattle's music. Although I will not go in depth on it in my paper, understanding the rich tradition of music the city has is critical to understanding how Grunge was heard and accepted in the city. In addition to having critical information and quotations about the era of Grunge that will be necessary for this research paper, this source useful in providing a scope and history to the history of Seattle and will be helpful in writing a background section of the paper.
Hyman, Dan. "Mudhoney's Mark Arm on Grunge's Legacy." Rollingstone.com. Rolling Stone Magazine, 7 Sept. 2011. Web. 12 Mar. 2013.
Dan Hyman is a freelance writer that has written over 170 articles for Rolling Stone magazine. Hyman received his Masters degree in journalism from Northwestern University. His article is written for all of the magazine's readers, but it may catch the eye of older fans more since the title signifies that it is about Grunge. Also, it may only appeal to diehard Grunge fans because the article features someone who was instrumental in the establishment of the genre in Seattle's late eighties but didn't necessarily gain the notoriety/recognition of say, Kurt Cobain or Chris Cornell. When compared to the other magazine article I used as a source, "Grunge: A Success Story", stark differences stand out which contribute to many of the ideas I wish to discuss in my research paper. While this article discusses Grunge from a musical perspective and illuminates some of the "what ifs" present in the history of the genre, the second article shows everything that was commercial about the movement. Another interesting contrast comes about when one considers how commercialism removes credibility from one of the founders of Grunge while also highlighting the wear of musicians whose last concern was attire. This article will be important for my paper by providing me with opinions of one of the key figures in the movement while also giving me a slightly more realistic view of the success of Nirvana in relation to Cobain's death.
Lyons, James. Selling Seattle. London, NY: Wallflower, 2004. Print.
James Lyons is a British film historian who has written a number of books on the history of television and modern television. In Selling Seattle, he focuses on how Seattle boomed culturally and economically during the nineties. The audience intended for this read seems to be someone foreign or unaware of the cultural history of Seattle and interested in why it was so successful during the end of the twentieth-century. This reading contrasts sharply with the other two books on the "Seattle Sound" because it addresses Grunge not from a musical perspective but from a very broad cultural perspective. Instead of discussing the meaning of the music, or the influences behind the lyrics, Lyons focuses on how Grunge was a smaller aspect of many different fads that came out of the city during that time. This will be important for my paper, however, because it gives a good summary of how commercialism affected the cultural surge in Seattle, the demise of Grunge specifically and the decline of the city as a whole.
Marin, Rick. "Grunge: A Success Story." The New York Times. The New York Times, 15 Nov. 1992. Web. 11 Mar. 2013.
Rick Marin is a best-selling author and has also written many articles for the New York Times Style department. Marin holds two Masters degrees, one in English from the University of Toronto, and one in Journalism from Columbia. The intended audience for this article would be people interested in what would be hip to wear in 1992. This articles projects interestingly what the rest of the country took from the Grunge movement and represents everything that frustrated the musicians from Seattle who originally started the rebellion against glamour and everything eighties rock represented. While the impressive work by Mark Yarm, Everybody Loves Our Town, chronicles the history of grunge from its earliest roots, this magazine article explores everything that Grunge became once it left the clubs of Seattle. Unlike the other works that I have cited, this article does a good job of showing the negative side of grunge. It realistically tells the story of how Grunge lost its original following and shifted to the designers and rich, elite of New York and other urban hubs across the United States. This article will help illuminate one of the main topics of my thesis by showing how Grunge went from being a localized expression to a national fad that caused the founders of the movement to revolt against its sudden popularity.
Sterne, Jonathan. The Sound Studies Reader. New York: Routledge, 2012. Print.
Yarm, Mark. Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge. New York: Crown Archetype, 2011. Print.
Mark Yarm is the former senior editor for Blender magazine and has written for prominent publications such as Men's Health and Esquire. Intended audiences for this read, in my opinion, would be fans of rock music in general. The entire book consists of interviews and quotes from famous musicians discussing various groups, people, and aspects involved with Grunge. This book provides the best look into the lives and minds of the musicians who created the Grunge movement. Instead of analyzing the music, style and actions of the people like the other readings, this book contains their own words, opinions and stories. This is the most entertaining and enticing work that is being cited for research. This source will illuminate my topic because it will show the raw emotion and energy that goes into grunge music, and will provide personal explanations and feelings toward making the music.

Fuduntu Done Now, All Hail FuSE
It wasn't two weeks ago that news broke of Fuduntu's imminent demise, but was softened a bit by promises of support and one more release. Then word began to swirl that remaining members were seriously considering basing on openSUSE. But today brought a more dire announcement.
Last week, Lee Ward shared that he and his team have decided that openSUSE would indeed be the base for their new distribution. In fact, in that same post, Ward stated that the new distro would be dubbed FuSE if Novell will allow it.

Imagine googling for problems/issue related to "FuSE" ...
re: name
Yeah, I was thinking about that name too. You look at it and it looks like fuse - like the filesystem. But then if you think about the way SUSE is pronounced, then we'd probably pronounce the new name as fussy, like a fussy baby.

Xubuntu 15.10 Beta 1 Drops Gnumeric and Abiword in Favor of LibreOffice Writer and Calc
Canonical has announced the release of the first Beta build for Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) opt-in flavors, which include the well-known Xubuntu distribution built around the lightweight Xfce desktop environment.
Technology, the law and you: Open-source software
But "free as in beer" isn't really the point – huge numbers of corporate open-source users opt for paid commercial versions of open-source projects, for simplicity and support. And then there are all those various licenses that protect the openness of the software – GPL, Apache, Eclipse. But the good news is that, with very few exceptions, there aren't many legal issues for the average company to worry about.

I've written previously about how much I enjoy Megapickles, a daily photo blog by John Hughes, a professor at Saint Michael's. The Vermont landscapes and architectural photographs are well done and fortunately they make up the bulk of John's work. If you want to see what Vermont look like to a superb photographer, this is where you can find what you're looking for. The photo shown in the screen capture above is a good example. The reduced size here takes much away from how striking this photo is so please click the link and see the original. In fact, I suggest you go to the Megapickles website and see especially the photos posted between Sept 4 and Sept 11.
When I visit John's photo blog I'm reminded that there are many beautiful places all around the world and I'm fortunate to live in one of them.

Prince George's County police said the death of a man discovered inside his Brandywine home with signs of blunt force trauma to his body Sunday has now been ruled a homicide.
Alphonso Ray Drew, 55, of the 12900 block of Cherry Tree Crossing Road in Brandywine was found dead around 5:30 p.m. when county police went to investigate after someone called requesting a check on Drew's welfare, said Julie Parker, a Prince George's police spokeswoman.
Once there, officers pronounced him dead on the scene from blunt force trauma.
Parker said Drew's sister was the one who discovered him unresponsive Sunday and immediately called police.
"Right now, police are trying to verify a motive and identify possible suspects," Park said.
Those with information on the killing are asked to contact the police department's homicide unit at 301-772-4925 or Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS to remain anonymous.
A telephone number for Drew's residence could not be located.

It may not be as dramatic as a new president coming in to install a totally new regime in Washington. But even as President Obama celebrates his solid reelection victory, he faces a major transition challenge in reshaping his administration for a second term under less-than-ideal circumstances.
The newly triumphant-but-exhausted president is back at the White House and turning his attention to the daunting policy logjams that demand almost immediate action, not to mention the certainty that he will have to make changes in his White House senior staff and Cabinet. His choices will be closely watched for signals about whether Obama will pursue a more cooperative approach with Republicans in Congress—or a more confrontational one—than he did in his first term.
Surprisingly, on some levels, his transition task may be harder than Mitt Romney's would have been in building an administration from scratch.
(RELATED: 6 Cabinet Seats Likely to Change)
Romney would have enjoyed the honeymoon that is accorded to all newly elected presidents—even to George W. Bush after his highly contested, Supreme Court-abetted victory in 2000. But Obama's 2-point popular-vote margin was so close, and his opponents so entrenched and impassioned, that the mood in Washington during the transition is likely to be more a function of relief that the long, costly, and bitter 2012 campaign is over than a reflection of a national coming together, like the honeymoon after his win in 2008. Republicans in Congress—their control of the House confirmed—show no signs yet that they are ready to work more closely with Obama on his legislative agenda or to smooth the path for his appointees.
Thanks to a 2010 law that encouraged challengers to start their transition work months before the election, Romney's "Readiness Project" had been organizing since June, sifting through résumés, crafting an agenda, setting priorities, and studying policy options. With former Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt in charge, Romney had in place what Republicans believed was the best transition operation ever assembled by a candidate.
More than a decade of academic studies of past transitions—some of which were haphazard, chaotic, or poorly organized—made Romney's operation possible. But few people have researched how reelected presidents have readied their administrations for a second term, even though some of them clearly stumbled and fumbled away opportunities. Now, Obama confronts that job.
Since the summer, with much less public attention than Romney's Readiness Project received, the president's most senior aides in Washington have been meeting privately, talking with current officeholders, and looking ahead to second-term strategy and appointments. Leading the effort have been Chief of Staff Jacob Lew, Deputy Chief of Staff Pete Rouse, Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco, and Personnel Director Nancy D. Hogan. Consumed with the campaign, the president has not been very involved. But now, these aides are ready to report what they have learned. That includes feedback on which appointees, both on staff and in the Cabinet, want to stay. But the aides will also identify those whom they believe Obama should let go, regardless of whether they want to stay.
(RELATED: Who Might Serve in the Next Administration?)
Big changes are almost certain after a first term of remarkable Cabinet stability. Only two departments—Defense and Commerce—have seen changes at the top. The holdover department heads include some who are exhausted, some who are less adept politically than had been hoped, and some who have uneasy relations with Congress. "Even with Obama reelected, he has a big personnel challenge," said James Pfiffner, professor of public policy at George Mason University and an expert on transitions. "The biggest challenge in the beginning is always personnel." Obama "just has so many vacancies to deal with," Pfiffner said, noting that a president has about 1,000 appointments subject to Senate consent, another 800 noncareer Senior Executive Service positions, and about 1,400 Schedule C (political) appointments. "And, especially at the end of a first term, there are a lot of vacancies."
No one—not even senior members of the White House staff—can know what direction the president will take until he turns his attention to the next term in the coming days. Longtime Republican and former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card knows what it's like. He participated in transitions in all possible ways: with Ronald Reagan succeeding vanquished Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980; with George H.W. Bush's "friendly takeover" from fellow Republican Reagan in 1988; with Bush's loss to Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992; with George W. Bush's succession after Clinton in 2000; and, finally, with Bush's handover to Obama in 2008.
Recalling Bush's reelection in 2004, Card said, "I met with the president at Camp David just a couple of days after the election, and he told me he wanted to make a lot of changes in the second term." Bush understood that the best way to signal to the country that his second term would be different would be to personify his new approach with new appointees, Card told National Journal. "The personification makes a big difference in calling attention to the policy." The best example of that was Bush's decision to fire Donald Rumsfeld as Defense secretary after the 2006 elections.

Sebastian Vettel reckons Red Bull are up there with the quickest after setting the pace in Friday's practice for the Spanish GP...
Sebastian Vettel reckons Red Bull are up there with the quickest after setting the pace in Friday's practice for the Spanish GP.
In what was a closely-contested session amongst the frontrunners, Vettel posted a 1:22.825 to beat Fernando Alonso by 0.017s on the Spaniard's home circuit. Added to that Mark Webber was only a further 0.066s adrift.
"In terms of pace we are there or there about with the top guys," Vettel said.
"It is always better to be near the top of the times sheets on Friday even if we can't tell where everybody is.
"To be honest we didn't have that many new parts. I think the times of big upgrades when you see a whole new car are now over; we don't have that room in the regulations anymore even though we wish we could.
"Overall we can be happy with today even if this morning was a waste of time in those conditions. This afternoon was fairly conclusive."
The reigning World Champion, though, believes it won't only be pace but also tyre management that wins Sunday's race at the Barcelona circuit.
As the drivers put in more laps on the same sets of tyres in the latter stages of Friday's running, many had notable wear on their front lefts whether it was the hard or the medium compounds.
"You could see today that tyres are suffering quite a bit more than in Bahrain. Probably Bahrain is a bit more spread in terms of energy whereas here the left side is struggling for everyone.
"It will be difficult to take care of the tyres in the race and right now difficult to predict how many times we have to stop."
And the Red Bull racer isn't expecting Pirelli's new hard tyre to be "miracle" cure for the degradation issues.
"It's difficult to say a lot about the new hard tyre, we didn't expect a miracle and as it turned out I don't think there is a massive difference.
"We'll see how it works out on Sunday but I don't think it makes a massive difference in terms of changing the race completely. We will see a similar amount of pit stops as at other races."

text: Religious Studies overview faculty program organizations after graduation Religious Studies At Le Moyne College, the academic study of religion plays a key role in the search for meaning and value. Such study encourages students to think more critically and creatively about their beliefs and practices, as well as about the beliefs and practices of others. Religious traditions influence societies and cultures just as social and cultural concerns challenge religious conventions. Responsible citizenship requires accurate knowledge of religion and religions to respond thoughtfully to the complexities of the contemporary world. Through the academic study of religion, we expect our students to become critical and compassionate thinkers and agents in that world, a world at once troubled and wondrous. Faithful to the College's Catholic Jesuit identity, the religious studies department affords students opportunities to search for meaning and value in the study of Scripture, the history of Christianity, Catholic theology and religious ethics. Faithful to the College's Catholic Jesuit intellectual tradition, the department invites students to discover meaning and value in human culture through the study of Islam, Judaism, Native American traditions, Asian religions and new religious movements, as well as through the study of religion in relation to science, the media, the paranormal, sexuality and gender, corporate responsibility and ethics from the perspective of the oppressed. Our courses approach the study of religion as an interdisciplinary project that draws on theology, history, anthropology and sociology, among other disciplines. Because the College's mission charges the Le Moyne community to promote a more just society, some courses incorporate service learning: students examine their service-related experiences in critical dialogue with Catholic theology or other religious traditions. Religious Studies Major A student wishing to major in religious studies must complete 30 credit hours (10 courses) in religious studies: REL 200 (three credits), three REL 300-level courses taken for major credit (nine credits); four REL 300 or 400 elective courses (12 credits); a REL 400-level course (three credits); and the Religious Studies Colloquium (three credits). The student must also complete foreign language study through the intermediate level. Upon declaring a religious studies major, students will receive a copy of the departmental learning goals. Students and their advisers will use these goals as a guide in selecting courses. Students will demonstrate progress toward the goals by compiling work drawn from each semester into a portfolio for review by members of the department. During the senior year, in the context of the religious studies colloquium, students will reflect on that progress in a concluding assessment essay. Departmental Honors in Religious Studies In accord with 1988 guidelines approved by the academic dean, department chairs and program directors, declared religious studies majors with a 3.0 G.P.A. overall and a 3.25 G.P.A. in religious studies courses may pursue departmental honors, provided they have also demonstrated the potential to complete a research paper at least 25 – 30 pages in length. During the fall semester of junior year, the departmental chair will invite eligible students to apply. The candidate for the departmental honors degree will determine a general area to research and choose a mentor from among the full-time members of the department with appropriate expertise. The mentor will direct the student as (s)he develops a proposal for the project. The proposal must include a well-formulated research question, description of methodology, a bibliography, a tentative outline and title, and criteria for evaluation. The mentor and two other members of the department must approve the proposal before spring registration. The student will then register for REL 490 (Departmental Honors Project). During the fall semester of senior year, the student will complete a rough draft of the project under the mentor's guidance. On or before the last day of classes, he will submit a copy of the rough draft to his mentor and to the chairperson of the department.Under the mentor's guidance, the student will complete a revision of the proposal during the spring semester. By April 1 (or a date agreed upon at the beginning of the process by student and mentor) the student submits a final draft of the project, along with evaluative criteria, to the examination committee. The chairperson of the department is responsible for establishing the examination committee; it typically includes the mentor and two other department members. In addition, as a matter of courtesy, (s)he formally invites the Faculty Committee for Integral Honors to participate in the defense. (S)he schedules the date, time and place and publicizes the event widely on campus. The defense date should be early enough to allow for any necessary revisions required by the examination committee. After the defense, the mentor, in consultation with the department chair and the examination committee, decides how well the student's project has met its evaluative criteria and departmental standards. Upon a successful defense and completion of any revisions, the student is eligible for departmental honors at graduation. Religious Studies and Education Programs The religious studies department in collaboration with the education department offers a major program for those who plan a career in elementary education or teaching religion. The program consists of a major in religious studies with a minor in education. A student's program is designed after consultation with the chairs of both departments. Students who plan a career in elementary education, special education or teaching English as a second language, may receive New York state certification with a major in religious studies and a minor in education. For a typical schedule, please see below. Religious Studies Minor A student wishing to minor in religious studies must complete 15 credit hours in religious studies. Catholic Studies Minor The interdisciplinary minor in Catholic studies offers an understanding of Catholicism and the role it has played in the formation of worldviews, economic systems and social arrangements in various cultures. Participants learn how Catholicism has contributed to and been shaped by historical and cultural events, particularly in the Western hemisphere.

YanSab takes ethylene glycol plant offline for maintenance and repairs
3:41 AM MST | November 20, 2012 | Natasha Alperowicz
Yanbu National Petrochemical Company (YanSab; Yanbu, Saudi Arabia), a Sabic affiliate, says it plans to take its ethylene glycol (EG) plant off line to carry out maintenance and some technical repairs. The plant will be shut down for about 10 weeks starting 25 November 2012. The shutdown will not cause material impact on the company's fourth quarter financial results because of the availability of EG stocks, YanSab says. However, the company expects the shutdown to affect its first quarter 2013 results. YanSab is making efforts to reduce this impact by...

A rapper, a hard rock band, a pop singer-songwriter and an American Idol alum are among the nearly one-dozen musical acts that will take the stage at Bridgestone Arena Sunday, March 13, and somehow, they're all performing for the same audience.
The 2011 Winter Jam — Christian music's largest annual tour — once again returns to Music City with the same enticing setup: a supersized arena concert for $10 at the door.
The headliner of this year's Jam has the clout of not one, but two giants in the genre: Newsboys, who are now fronted by former dc Talk vocalist Michael Tait. Among the acts joining them are mainstays Newsong, modern worshippers David Crowder Band, solo star Francesca Battistelli, hard rockers Red and Kutless, hip-hop artist KJ-52 and Idol favorite Jason Castro.
The show starts at 5 p.m. Sunday at Bridgestone Arena (501 Broadway, 770-2000).
