The Brahms String Quartet Discovery Concert was an aural gourmet meal served at the highest performance level by the American String Quartet! I gobbled up every note! And, as always, Maestro Maull's excellent presentation guided our ears in how to listen.John Carlini, professional musician
The concert was great – I hadn't deconstructed an orchestra piece in that way since college, and I've never heard it done with a live orchestra. It was fascinating.Discover the Magic of Mozart concert attendee
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the concert – the audience interaction, the jokes, the camaraderie between you the musicians, the level of the group was phenomenal. It's such a really special experience for everybody. I was sitting near some parents and their kids, a couple of whom I actually knew. They were having so much fun and getting the answers. It was just a really great experience – unlike any other concert I've ever been to. Congratulations!Jeff Grogan, Music Director and Conductor, New Jersey Youth Symphony
I was mesmerized during the entire performance. The way in which the music was so precisely articulated by the extremely talented musicians made listening to it a magical experience. The narration by the conductor facilitated an understanding of the piece that was previously unknown to me. I have listened to, studied and loved classical music my whole life but this performance produced in me feelings that no other listening occasion has ever done. Completely unique.Discover Vivaldi's Four Seasons viewer
My "a-ha" moment was that the music actually had a story to tell without words. I was guilty of being one who listened to music as background. Now I see the benefit of truly listening to the piece with my undivided attention!Discovery Concert attendee

What do you do if you are a woman and you want to play competitive football? You get stuck wearing a bikini in a league that doesn't pay you or provide health insurance -- because it's the best competitive football you can play. This is a great bit of long-form journalism over at Grantland by Jordan Ritter Conn. I ended up watching a bit of a "Legends" Football League game when flipping channels a couple weeks ago and the quality of play was no different from your usual Arena Football game.

Arbitrator Harold Henderson has upheld the NFL's suspension of Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy for domestic violence, but has reduced it to four games. I know a lot of people will compare this to Tom Brady's four-game suspension for DeflateGate, or Le'Veon Bell's three-game suspension for a marijuana arrest. The differences do highlight the absurd inconsistency in when the NFL dcides to hand down suspensions, and how long they are. But also remember that the legal process with each suspension and appeal is different.

The great former Raiders (and Saints and Oilers) quarterback Kenny "The Snake" Stabler has passed away due to colon cancer at the age of 69. There was some confusion about this on Twitter earlier today, but his family has now confirmed the death. Stabler made four Pro Bowls but his career peaked in 1976. When we did the "Top 100 QB Seasons Ever" in our first book, 10 years ago, we had that season at No. 7.

Here are the final two parts of a four-part series for ESPN Insider looking at estimated snap-weighted age for 2015, based on projected starters, last year's snap counts, and a regression that predicts snaps for rookies based on draft pick and position. The result is a look at which defenses are getting older this year (Denver, New Orleans), which are getting younger (New England, Pittsburgh), and what that means for how good those teams might be this season.

In case you didn't see it mentioned everywhere else, Jason Pierre-Paul was injured this weekend in a fireworks accident. Information dribbled out slowly, but the original extreme (and apparently false) reports of "he blew off his fingers and will never play again" eventually settled into a general feeling of "he has very severe burns, possibly some nerve damage in fingers, and is likely to miss the start of the season." I think what's interesting here, past the actual injury itself, is JPP's contract status. (Click to read more.)

This is a two-part series for ESPN Insider that's actually part of a four-part series. For the first time, we've done some work on estimated snap-weighted age for 2015, based on projected starters, last year's snap counts, and a regression that predicts snaps for rookies based on draft pick and position. The result is a look at which offenses are getting older this year (Indianapolis, Green Bay), which are getting younger (St. Louis, Tennessee), and what that means for how good those teams might be this season.

Also...just a note on the 4 month vs newborn thing. I think most slings must say 4 months now b/c of the scare of suffocating that came up over the past 1-2 years with infants in slings. I was sceptical about using a sling b/c of this. However, when used with the proper precautions it is GREAT. You have to keep practicing the positioning so that you are confident that your baby is safe.
I wanted to just give a couple tips on how to use it because many of the moms who didn't like this sling were not using it correctly. What's important is that you get your baby in the sling correctly. Your baby goes in bottom first. Make sure you have the sling on correctly first with the wider curved part in the front where the baby goes. The sling should be folded in half so you have a pocket to put your baby in. You can put your baby facing in or out, in the middle or on your hip, or lying down if he/she is very young. I suggest even searching for a You Tube video or instructions with pictures (that's why I bought mine from my friend -- she showed me how) on how to get your baby in and out of your sling. If you feel you have the right size, but your baby is still hanging a bit low, flip the sling at your shoulder. That will tighten it up and bring your baby closer. If you can't get it tight enough, it is probably too big. You can use any sling with newborns. You just have to be careful and make sure the baby's face is not covered.
Slings aren't for every mom or every baby.Read more ›
I like that the sling has no adjustable parts. It's all fabric, so it rolls up really small and you can always take it with you. It's easy to wash, too. And not too hot in the summer, like some slings with much more fabric.
It does take quite a bit of practice to learn how to position the baby in this sling, especially with a newborn. I have my own technique where I put the sling on the bed, position the baby in it and then slide my head and arm in. I find it much easier than trying to position the baby inside the sling once I am wearing it. When positioned properly, the (newborn) baby's face is facing upward, their neck and back are almost straight (so they are not scrunched up, which can be dangerous) and their feet are crossed. The trick is to put the baby in diagonally, so that only their bum is at the bottom of the sling, but the head is resting on the railing. And it helps to move around once you have them in there, motion tends to calm small babies down.

From "Too Much of Water Hast Thou" in Readings, May 2007.
The case of Jennifer Strange is now on its way to trial.
From the January 12 airing of Morning Rave on KDND 107.9 FM, a radio station in Sacramento, California, that bills itself as The End. The program held a contest, "Hold Your Wee for a Wii," in which eighteen contestants were asked to drink large quantities of water without urinating or vomiting in order to win a Nintendo Wii video-game console, which retails for $250. Jennifer Strange, a twenty-eight-year-old mother of three, agreed to accept second prize, a pair of tickets to a Justin Timberlake concert, after all but one other contestant had been eliminated. After taking the day off work, she was found dead at her home, reportedly of water intoxication. KDND canceled Morning Rave and fired ten employees, including the on-air personalities Lukas, Maney, Fester, Carter, and Trish. Portions of the broadcast were released by the Sacramento Bee.
lukas: How much water you think you can drink before you have to wee? We're gonna be drinking 'til like—
fester: I did like two gallons, I think.
all: Two gallons!
lukas: Aw, dude—
trish: Can't you get water poisoning and, like, die?
lukas: [Laughing] Your body is 98 percent water, why can't you take in as much water as you want?
trish: I don't know—
fester: How much did he drink, that poor kid in college?
lukas: Yeah, well, he was doing other things.
trish: Maybe we should have researched this beforehand.
fester: Next thing you know, I break out in hives, and I'm in an ambulance.
lukas: If it gets dangerous for somebody, their body will automatically throw it up. And if you throw up the water, you're out of the contest.
eva, a caller: Those people that are drinking all that water can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication.
lukas: Yeah, we're aware of that.
maney: They signed releases, so we're not responsible. It's okay.
lukas: And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, they're going to throw up, and they're out of the contest before they die. So that's good, right?
eva: Aw, that's mean! I suppose so.
lukas: How come you guys didn't do it?
eva: Because we don't want to die.
lukas: Oh, okay. Let me ask Carter if anybody's dying. Hey Carter, is anybody dying in there?
carter: Uh, we got a guy who's just about to die.
[Everyone laughs.]
The American way of eating has become the elephant in the room in the debate over health care. The president has made a few notable allusions to it, and, by planting her vegetable garden on the South Lawn, Michelle Obama has tried to focus our attention on it. Just last month, Mr. Obama talked about putting a farmers' market in front of the White House, and building new distribution networks to connect local farmers to public schools so that student lunches might offer more fresh produce and fewer Tater Tots. He's even floated the idea of taxing soda. But so far, food system reform has not figured in the national conversation about health care reform. And so the government is poised to go on encouraging America's fast-food diet with its farm policies even as it takes on added responsibilities for covering the medical costs of that diet. To put it more bluntly, the government is putting itself in the uncomfortable position of subsidizing both the costs of treating Type 2 diabetes and the consumption of high-fructose corn syrup. –"Big Food vs. Big Insurance," Michael Pollan, the New York Times
Wystan Hugh Auden took the martini seriously. Richard Wilbur, in a 1993 interview conducted by Lorraine Pearsall, recounts one of his few conversations with the elder poet. "Auden had ordered a martini and I had ordered a martini, and we talked about martinis, and we discussed the fact that if you are devoted to martinis, it's very hard to get a good one away from home," Wilbur recalled. "I think that was the essence of our deep conversation, but it was heartfelt." But what sort of martini did Auden prepare at home? If Tarquin Winot, the epicurean protagonist of John Lanchester's novel The Debt to Pleasure, is to be believed, he made them like so: "I borrowed W.H. Auden's technique of mixing the vermouth and gin at lunchtime (though the great poet himself used vodka) and leaving the mixture in the freezer to attain that wonderful jellified texture of alcohol chilled to below the point at which water freezes. The absence of ice means that the Auden martini is not diluted in any way, and thus truly earns the drink its sobriquet 'the silver bullet.'" –"In Search of the Auden Martini: How to make a cocktail beautiful, humanizing, and good," Rosie Schaap, Poetry Foundation

My proposal: That the closest thing we presently have to a "School" of younger, rigorously innovative poets in the U.S. (one that stands closest chance of being retrospectively seen as akin in significance to the NY School in its first-generation, proto-formation years–and when I say "School" I mean in that sense of fortuitous constellation, something very different from a self-identified tendency or "movement") is what I'll call the New Chicago School. It's a list of accomplished, experimental writers, more poetically focused as a collective, perhaps, than the contents list of the City Visible anthology of a couple years back, and more geographically focused, too, inasmuch as all the poets have roots in the city, even though a few of them have recently moved elsewhere (though in most cases still nearby), and one now lives abroad… –"The New Chicago School," Kent Johnson, Digital Emunction
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

With effect from Weds Jan 6th, we will be changing our rehearsal venue. Rehearsals will be at St John's Church, Berrygate Lane, Sharow. The building has been recently refurbished and is warm and comfortable. It also has an excellent acoustic and is lovely to sing in. Many thanks to those at St John's who have offered us this welcome.
Parking is currently available on the street outside, but the church has recently been granted planning permission for a car park and work is due to start soon.

The question I have is not a "how do you..." question. Actually it's altogether different.
When I import XML data into an HTML/XHTML page using the DOM, I've noticed a quirk.
If I have alot of text stored in a single tag within an XML tag (such as a short story), and I try to import that tag's data and write it to the page with innerHTML, IE handles it just fine. Mozilla, however, will cut the text off after a certain point. But if I break up the text into separate paragraphs and import it, it all works just dandy.
Not that this is a huge deal, but it can get somwhat tedious placing PARAGRAPH tags around the paragraphs in an XML file. Does anyone happen to know if this will be fixed anytime soon?

LOGAN, Utah -
Utah State Head Coach Stew Morrill...
"Well, we won. That is the good news. I thought that San Jose State responded really well for not having a couple of their better players. Especially not having (James) Kinney, he is a 20 points per game guy. Their guys rallied together and played really hard and gave them a chance. They were physical, they defended, that is the best San Jose State defensive team that I have seen in a number of years. They made it hard for us and they caused us to turn the ball over in the first half. We did a little better job in the second half but they beat us on the boards in the second half, so they just stayed in the game the whole way. You look at the stats and it doesn't seem like we played that poorly except that they got a whole lot more shots than us and that is a credit to them. Our percentages were pretty good, we rebounded the ball okay, especially in the first half so we will take the win."
"You would like to be better in certain phases of the game and we are going to have to be next weekend. We get a real taste of reality going on the road against those two teams, they are two of the better teams in the league, New Mexico State and Denver, and LA Tech of course is the other team that is really off to a great start in our league. We obviously haven't played them yet so we have some real challenges ahead, but at this point we have done our job and got a couple of road wins and we have protected our home court in league. Now it is time to try and get better next week and see what we can do on the road."
Junior Guard Spencer Butterfield...
On San Jose slowing the tempo of the game down... "Yes they really did. With two of their key players out we were saying in the locker room that other guys were going to step up for them. Their coaches did a good job of calling timeouts every time we were about to go on a run and that helped them out."
On the physical battle of tonight... "Yes, it certainly did. They got up into us and pressured us a lot. We turned it over too much in the first half but we came out in the second and took care of the ball better which made all the difference."
Junior Guard Preston Medlin...
On adjusting to San Jose State's defense...
"They did a good job of getting into us and trying to take us out of our plays. In the first half we had too many turnovers, which is not what we want. We came in and adjusted a little bit and did a lot better in the second half taking care of the ball."
On the physical-ness of the game...
"We knew that if we wanted to win this game we have to come out and play physical defense and play physical offense and run our plays better because they were getting in us and taking us out of our plays. That's not what we want and it is not good for us. It was a lot better in the second half shooting the ball."
San Jose Head Coach George Nessman...
"We kept it close but we did not come here to keep it close, we came here to win. Credit to Utah State, they are very difficult to catch in the final eight minutes when they have a workable lead. They had between a five and an eight point lead there for a while and we just couldn't get that big defensive stop and a conversion to get it to a one-possession game. I thought that our guys played with a lot of determination and a lot of tenacity, but Utah State just had a little too much for us today."

[Today's Date]
[Your Name
City, State, ZIP]
The Honorable [Representative or Senator Name]
Indianapolis, IN, ZIP]
Dear [Representative or Senator Last Name]
I am writing you today as the parent of a [son/daughter] who has [specify the type of developmental disability]. As you may know, Medicaid funding provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to receive community based, non-institutional supports in order that they can continue to live at home with their families or move into supported living arrangements within the community. Without these supports, these individuals could be forced into nursing homes and other more expensive living options. This program is funded through a mix of federal and state funds. It is a lifeline for families with children and adults with disabilities who need ongoing supports for health and safety as well as improved quality of life.
My (son/daughter) [each letter writer should put their own story in this paragraph. Include information about the kinds of services your son/daughter is receiving (for example: they live in a group home, or a supported living home, or they still live at home with you, but go to services during the day) Also, indicate they type of supports he/she needs (for example: Jenny needs total care including with eating, bathing, or moving from place to place or Mark needs assistance with getting a job and then getting to and from that job) If your son/daughter has experienced staff turnover, speak about the impact this has had on him/her (for example: She receives supports by a local provider, but the turnover of staff leaves me worried about the quality of care she receives or he comes to really know and trust the staff that work with him, then they leave and we have to start all over).
I am writing on behalf of myself and many other individuals who are receiving or waiting to receive services through Medicaid funding. These services provide basic, stable supports that would enable each of us; disabled individuals and caregivers alike, to more adequately support ourselves and our families, while contributing more fully to our communities. I invite you to come visit my family and have the opportunity to meet my son/daughter with special needs and to better understand… ( examples of what you want them to know about your son/daughters supports -- how additional support could help him/her to be more successful within her community or how better paid direct support staff would provide more stability in his/her life).
I hope you, as a legislator, are remaining informed of the efforts being taken by FSSA and others to adequately fund essential Medicaid services and that you support increased funding for these services. The system is becoming less and less stable as providers struggle with the long term impact of ongoing funding cuts. A stable support system for families and service providers significantly improves the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities like, (your son/daughter's name), while increasing each person's opportunities to become much more productive members of our society. And that would help everyone.
Sincerely yours,
[Sign here]

Sun makes nervous face with hole in its head [VIDEO]

The sun's apparent nervousness crops up in photos captured over the past few days by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO); you can see the gorgeous images compiled into a video here.
The sun's "eyes" are actually active regions, which serve as launch pads for solar flares and the eruptions of superheated solar plasma known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). And the anxious, crinkly mouth is a coronal hole, a relatively cool and dark region where the sun's magnetic field lies open to interplanetary space.
Comment: The Sun has been behaving very strangely for a while now:
- New paper predicts a sharp decline in solar activity until 2100
- Sun's bizarre activity may trigger another ice age
- Where have all the sunspots gone?

Neuroscientists find multitasking literally drains brain's energy reserves

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 02:42 UTC
When we attempt to multitask, we don't actually do more than one activity at once, but quickly switch between them. And this switching is exhausting. It uses up oxygenated glucose in the brain, running down the same fuel that's needed to focus on a task.
"That switching comes with a biological cost that ends up making us feel tired much more quickly than if we sustain attention on one thing," says Daniel Levitin, professor of behavioral neuroscience at McGill University. "People eat more, they take more caffeine. Often what you really need in that moment isn't caffeine, but just a break. If you aren't taking regular breaks every couple of hours, your brain won't benefit from that extra cup of coffee."
Studies have found that people who take 15-minute breaks every couple of hours end up being more productive, says Levitin. But these breaks must allow for mind-wandering, whether you're walking, staring out the window, listening to music or reading. "Everyone gets there a different way. But surfing Facebook is not one of them," he says. Social networks just produce more fractured attention, as you flit from one thing to the next.
Man's best friend - reborn: South Korean cloning facility promises to bring back your dead dog
Tue, 05 Jul 2016 14:49 UTC
Sooam Biotech Research Foundation has cloned over 800 dogs since 2006, offering the service to bring your dead dog back for $100,000. Apart from their popular dog cloning service, they also clone cattle and pigs for medical research and breed preservation.
The Sooam Biotech Research Foundation can reincarnate your dead dog, a service that would delight pet lovers—for $100,000.
"These people have very a strong bond with their pets... and cloning provides a psychological alternative to the traditional method of just letting the pet go and keeping their memory," said Sooam researcher and spokesman Wang Jae-Woong.

Megathrust: Giant Bangladesh earthquake possible putting 140 million lives at risk, says study
Sun, 12 Jun 2016 15:39 UTC
The research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Monday, found that a juncture between major tectonic plates in the region is locked and mounting with stress.
Citing data collected using GPS devices since 2003, the paper states that measurements found convergence of tectonic plates at a rate of 13-17mm "on an active, shallowly dipping and locked megathrust fault."
One plate is moving under the other deep beneath the surface, and two plates are stuck together at the upper layers of the fault. The plates are covered in layers of sediment more than 20 meters thick.
The situation could result in a magnitude 8.2 to 9.0 earthquake in Bangladesh.
Australian physicist proposes theory that building blocks of life are information, not chemicals
Andrew Masterson
Syndey Morning Herald
Sun, 10 Jul 2016 03:48 UTC
Syndey Morning Herald
Sun, 10 Jul 2016 03:48 UTC
Oddly enough, this utterly abstract sort of alien might yet turn out to be the author's most perspicacious invention.
A leading Australian physicist has co-authored a new paper proposing a radical new theory of life.If a new paper co-written by prominent Australian physicist Professor Paul Davies is on the money, every other fictitious ET, from Star Trek's Vulcans to Star Wars' Yoda, are the products of depressingly limited imaginations.
Pretty much all cinematic aliens - think Dr Who's Sontarans, the bubble-headed things from Mars Attacks!, the giant worms from Dune - have something recognisably "life-like" about them: they have a chemical structure broadly similar to those found in earth species, and (it is implied) some kind of DNA-ish apparatus that facilitates reproduction.
They are reasonable enough assumptions to make, but what if they are plain wrong?
Davies and co-author Dr Sara Imari Walker, both from the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at the Arizona State University, suggest that fleshiness and double-helixes might be things confined only to life on Earth. Life in the rest of the universe, they venture, could be based on something much more unlikely: information.

Iris scans may soon replace fingerprints
Eric Niiler
Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:30 UTC
Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:30 UTC
FBI officials have scanned the irises of nearly 460,000 people in a pilot program that may soon replace fingerprints. While iris-scanning technology has been around for more than 25 years, it's just now getting to where it's fast, easy and relatively bug-free.
"It's a powerful biometric," said Patrick Grother, a computer scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., who has been developing algorithms and software for iris scanning. "It's fast to process, it has discriminative power -- my iris doesn't look like your iris, and it has reasonable permanence."
Iris scanning has replaced retinal scans, a method that has been pretty much abandoned since it turned out to be uncomfortable for people to endure, Grother explained. Iris scan technology was featured recently in the AMC mini-series The Night Manager, based on a John LeCarre spy novel. The lead character used an iris scan camera on his smartphone to access his Swiss bank account (just before a big truck blew up).
Grother says that kind of quick reading ability isn't far away, and several banks are looking at using it. Windows' Lumia Nokia and Fujitsu both have iris scanners to unlock their phones, (similar to the iPhone fingerprint pad) but it's not ready to authenticate other sorts of apps or accounts.

The 2022 Ryder Cup is headed to Italy for the first time.
European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke believes that Tiger Woods is a strong addition to a U.S. team that will attempt to win back the trophy from his squad next fall.
Paul Casey has opted not to rejoin the European Tour, a decision that will make the Englishman ineligible for next year's Ryder Cup.
Scotland's Russell Knox has accepted European Tour membership for next year, a decision that makes him eligible for a potential spot on the European Ryder Cup team next fall.
