Little Matchstick Factory's The Other Mozart is the true and untold story of Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus - a prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer, who performed throughout Europe with her brother, to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history.

With the opulent beauty of the dress and hair design, the sweet smell of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story.

The Highlands of Elgin Golf Course
The Highlands of Elgin has become a premier destination for thousands of golfers throughout the region.

Four holes hug the top of the bluff thirty to forty feet above the water providing golfers with incredible views and numerous shot options on each hole.
Precise shot-making and proper club selection is required. Some holes at Hilldale Golf Course favor a fairway wood or long iron from the tee. Several holes also require positioning your shots for better angles to the green affording plenty of risk and reward opportunities to keep the gamblers happy. Hilldale is known for its great conditions and as "the best greens in the burbs."

Now the fun begins for Will Muschamp.
Obviously, it's anything but fun, but star cornerback Janoris Jenkins' run-in with police over the weekend after being cited for marijuana possession is the first off-the-the-field incident that Muschamp will have to deal with as Florida's new coach.
One of the few criticisms of Muschamp's predecessor, Urban Meyer, was that there were too many arrests (30) on his watch as the Gators' coach.
This is Muschamp's opening to set the tone as to what he expects from his players. One of the things you heard coming out of the Florida camp when Muschamp was hired was that he would be more of a stickler in cracking down on these issues and would also be more discerning on the recruiting trail when it came to assessing a recruit's character.
What's more, this isn't the first time Jenkins has been in trouble with the law at Florida.
It will be interesting to see how hard Muschamp comes down on Jenkins, who passed up a chance to declare early for the NFL draft and elected to return for his senior season.

Skip to comments.Shark Attack Kills Award-Winning Film-Maker in New Zealand
Posted on 02/27/2013 10:27:01 PM PST by nickcarraway
Adam Strange, 46, victim of first such incident since 1976
Beaches in New Zealand have been closed after a swimmer was dragged out to sea and killed by a shark off one of the most popular beaches near the city of Auckland. Eyewitnesses described the sea as being covered in blood, and several sharks may have joined in the attack.
It is believed to be the first fatal shark attack in the country since 1976 and only the 14th ever recorded. A shark was implicated in the death of a man in 2009, but he is believed to have drowned before the shark attacked.
The victim was identified as an award-winning film commercials maker, Adam Strange, 46, whose family described him as a "glorious and great father, husband and friend''.
The lifeguards who tried to rescue Strange were said to have known him and regarded him as a strong and capable swimmer, and were said to be traumatised by the incident.
Strange's work has been shortlisted in the past for advertising awards at Cannes and at the London International Advertising Awards, and his first feature, Aphrodite's Farm, took a short film award at the Berlin film festival.
His website lists his passion for outdoor sports, including surfing.
Strange, who lived near the beach, was married and had a young daughter. A statement from his wife Meg and family said: "We are in deep shock and are still trying to contact overseas family members".
Gruesome eyewitness accounts by fishermen on the beach including one who was close enough to shout to Strange to swim towards the rocks in the hope of escaping his attacker spoke of "blood everywhere on the water". They suggest the shark was a great white, up to four metres long.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Evidently, the shark didn't get the memo about the award winning!
Shark was a little mouthy and long in the tooth but, the meat was tender and delicious...
Sad, but awesome picture there.
I don't go anywhere where I'm not at the top of the food chain.

Public Finance
Public Finance rests at the intersection of two disciplines: Public Economics and Public Choice. Public Economics deals with issues of social optimality: how much of a good (or bad) does a society desire (or tolerate), and how do we incentivize producers and consumers to attain that amount? Public economics concerns itself with externalities, which are costs that are borne by persons not involved in a market transaction. There are both positive and negative externalities; public economists... More

Japanese brand SOUTH 2 WEST 8 presents a new collection of printed fleece for the Spring/Summer 2013 season. The collection is notable for its departure from the brand's wide offering of utility bags, yet a smart combination of materials and colors preserves the brand's outdoor aesthetics. Drawing influence from animal representations through symbols, deer, owls, small fish, and birds are printed onto the selection of hoodies and climber pants. Whereas the main body retains a beautifully dyed natural maroon, the pieces are tastefully lined with black around the openings. The Printed Fleece Climber Pant will retail for ¥18,900 JPY (approximately $199 USD), while the Printed Fleece Hoody will go for ¥19,950 JPY (approximately $210 USD). Both are now available at NEPENTHES in Tokyo.

Microsoft Lays Off 1,850 as It Shrinks Its Smartphone Operations
Microsoft is laying off up to 1,850 workers in its smartphone hardware business as it moves to cut its losses, shrink its sales focus and sell smartphones to enterprise customers who want specialized devices with additional security and manageability features.
The company announced the layoffs on May 25, saying in a statement that it will "streamline" its smartphone hardware business and take an impairment and restructuring charge of about $950 million, including about $200 million for severance payments, in the fourth quarter.
"We are focusing our phone efforts where we have differentiation—with enterprises that value security, manageability and our Continuum capability, and consumers who value the same," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. "We will continue to innovate across devices and on our cloud services across all mobile platforms."
About 1,350 of the layoffs will come at Microsoft Mobile Oy in Finland, formerly Nokia, while another 500 will be spread around the world, the company said. Employees working for Microsoft Oy, a separate Microsoft sales subsidiary based in Espoo, Finland, are not included in the layoffs.
Microsoft officials said they will now focus on smartphones aimed at enterprise customers to try to differentiate the company from competitors.
More information about the head count cuts and smartphone business changes will be unveiled in Microsoft's fourth-quarter earnings announcement on July 19, the company said.

Microsoft Acquires Maker of Minecraft for the Classroom
With the acquisition of MinecraftEdu, Microsoft looks beyond Office 365 as a means to expand its portfolio of technology tools for teachers.Having already achieved commercial success among video gamers, Microsoft is now on a mission to bring Minecraft to classrooms. The company is acquiring MinecraftEdu from Teacher Gaming LLC and "investing in a new and expanded version of Minecraft for the classroom called Minecraft Education Edition," said Anthony Salcito, vice president of Worldwide Education for Microsoft, in a Jan. 19 announcement. The new title "will offer an expanded set of features to empower educators to foster deeper student engagement and collaboration," he continued. MinecraftEdu, as the name suggests, is an education-themed build of Minecraft, the popular building-block game Microsoft acquired for $2.5 billion in 2014. "Minecraft is more than a great game franchise—it is an open world platform, driven by a vibrant community we care deeply about, and rich with new opportunities for that community and for Microsoft," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in a statement at the time. Some of that community has already extended the video game brand into the market for educational technology solutions.
"Over the past few years, educators around the world have been using Minecraft to explore subjects that might not spring to mind when you think of our block-based game," blogged Owen Hill, director of creative communications at Mojang, the Microsoft-owned studio that created Minecraft, today. "Since 2011, MinecraftEdu—a version of Minecraft built for the classroom—has been used in over 40 countries. Lots of people have learned loads of things since then."

Profiles in Cowardice
McSally's puppet masters won't let her take a stand. She's your typical Republican snowflake.
Brave enough to fly an A-10 but too scared to face her constituents? SAD!
Thanks Nick Meyers;
I have been watching this is going to be interesting. With the legislature and HB2404 might get one part of the attempt to change the rule by making more stringent rules by paid signature gathers. Register & classes and no out of state 501(c)3 able to hire or contribute. GOODBYE MPP
So lets look at Safer and Dave David Stephen Wisniewski. I can see a of lot of holes in the boat. The one take not mentioned Dave and his crew of grassroots volunteers of signatures and the ability to amend the initiative along the way give Safer AZ viability. Really Safer is the ONLY consumer advocate marijuana users have that is now making any impact.
It will need to be amended to a grievance process with Kathy Inman and amend to palatable to both it now has the need to become symbiotic relationship.
It is either this or the legislature not wanting the possibility of a voter mandated initiative on legalization. This session push the rules see what passes, is action that will be taken next year. Then before the legalization effort gains steam on a midterm election turnout.. The legislature definitely does not want a rouge government department "DEPARTMENT OF MARIJUANA LICENSE AND CONTROLS"
The legislature might legalize small amounts and set it up like CO or WA. with the 3 plant rule no special license can buy clones. If this happens both are outside looking at what might have been.
One of the interesting things to observe here is that die-hard privatizer and former State Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal has repeatedly expressed his support for Sanchez in the comment streams. Below are a couple of links to pieces where this occurs. Huppenthal's comments are near the bottom of the streams:
Elsewhere Huppenthal expresses opinions that are less puzzling: "The district school with the classical classroom is a dead end for students from poverty and students of color. Yet, you [David Safier] insist that everything is ok and keep writing testaments about the greatness of district education."
What can it mean that a die-hard privatizer, the former State Superintendent of PUBLIC Instruction who saw fit to use his office to make robo calls to residents letting them know that if they were willing to abandon the public district system, there were public funds available for them to apply in private schools, wants Sanchez to remain Superintendent of TUSD?
Perhaps Huppenthal understands that the longer Sanchez remains in his post, the further conditions will deteriorate in the district, and the larger the "market share" of privates and charters will become.
We could start-up a GMO project at the UofA to make a coyote-hyena hybrids and turn them loose in open border areas. Native cultures on both sides of the border seem to like these scavengers which usually eat whatever they kill which should benefit the environment. Plus it would be a lot cheaper than constructing a border wall.
Sounds good, but can they accommodate my gluten-free wife?
It's great to see Native American kids having an outlet to express themselves.
TUSD - mob rule. What an unprofessional board. This is not how you handle business with your superintendent.
Pinche pochos con el nopal todavia en la frente trying to correct you on what to call people here that are undocumented? De alla vienen pendejos. The gente are undocumented immigrants NOT illegals -- NO PERSON IS ILLEGAL pocho pendejo.
Billy - Great article, btw. I have a connection to Grand Funk Railroad and "American Band" I think you might enjoy. In 1990 or so, my band was on a bill with the Dead Milkman in Oakland. Backstage, as the opening band was playing, I got into a conversation with Joe Genaro of the Milkmen. We found common ground making fun of - and admitting admiration for - these early arena cock rockers. At one point he said, "hey, I have something for you". He proceeded to hand me a folded piece of paper. The scrap had a phone number and the name "Connie". He went on to say that this was "sweet, sweet Connie's" phone number, the she was still um, active. "When you get to Little Rock, make sure you call her, she'd like you", he said. As a young musician and deep music fan, the surreal image of this grand dame of groupies bookending her career with Grand Funk and the Dead Milkmen was intoxicating. And that I now held this key to club, was like being bestowed the most sacred talisman. I never called the number- never really thinking I rocked appropriately to earn it, I guess - but I do of course still possess that scrap of paper. -slutes
Oh I missed this article when I commented on the OTHER unbiased reporting of TUSD affairs (NOT) that came through on my news feed. I saw you there David, and wondered if you too had to take a shower after the meeting because of all the slime that was being spewed from the dias and the audience commenters. Guess not. The comments above have pretty clearly indicated why people wouldn't show up but there is more. The attempt to get people to speak out in favor of Sanchez' leaving took place considerably AFTER the district phone calls to administrators and teachers to attend and support Sanchez, the changing of the SCPC meeting to make sure to pack the place with parents (although most SCPC people are not parents anymore) and the FB event that invited people for 4:30 (none came) demonstration and, yes, featured a nauseating picture of HT Sanchez as if he were Barack Obama and stood for HOPE. Well, he doesn't stand for HOPE for teachers, counselors or nurses, all of whom lost important benefits when their new contracts were released, nor for minority/majority students that should have been benefitting from the magnet school monies, nor for blue collar staff that received a whopping 1% raise (adding up to pennies on the dollar while administrators' 1% raise added up to thousands).....He also doesn't look like HOPE for any Board member who wants to know how many families have been thrown off of TUSD grounds with a police order to not return (a question not answered) or even one who wants a staff member to schedule a doodle poll (at LEAST 5 minutes of work for a highly paid assistant to pull off) of Board members to plan a Budget study session (which, incidentally, it is really hard to understand why the old Board majority is so opposed to!) While those of us who did stand up for taking Sanchez down from his pinnacle of un-acountable caudillismo are often berated, we do still represent almost 200,000 votes within TUSD just a few months ago calling for that very thing. That is a total I do not see you cite, David.
Shit, I'll wager that Emperor Chump will be begging for that 17 bazillion zillion dollars when he actually realises what his "Great Wall" will cost.
Chump will make sure that the world's supply of masking tape and Gummi Bears is taxed at outrageous amounts so that he (not we) can make 'Murica "great again" by building a wall. The same wall which tunnels and ladders will easily defeat.
Oh, the ignorance that is displayed. Putin is loving every moment of this.
It's amazing. I've been a regular customer at the Rillito Farmer's Market.
TUSD has lost 15,000 students under Adelita Grijalva and H.T. Sanchez. Those parents don't go to the meetings.
Choice is a wonderful thing for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Of course, "Who showed up", the whole thing is a dog and pony show that forefronts politics while putting kids, achievement and learning on the back burner! There were a few key facts left out by this one-sided account of the most recent Board meetings. The majority of the speakers the first night that this issue was considered showed up solicited by Kristel Fosters' campaign, and some had given campaign donations as well. Not noted here is that Cassandra Becerra is also an aide to Congressman Grijalva, the illustrious father of the previous Board president. Also not noted is the number of people who throw accusations at Stegeman and Sedgwick and heckle throughout the meetings that have deep connections to the local Democratic power structure: think Adam Ragan (major player in the Kristel Foster campaign and becoming well known for trumpeting invectives against the twosome) and Derek Harris, an OMA teacher. Neither of them have been active prior to this election at school board meetings and to my knowledge neither of them have children in the district either--not that parents are the only ones with interest in TUSD. Given that its all more about politics and less about substance, how surprising is it that people who received the Superintendents' largess showed up to support his regime? What else is personal largess for?! I recall when the decision was announced to give $10,000 to an individual school as well as a considerable sum to Davis Elementary for their mariachi camp, (attended by a few Board members' children)--conveniently enough, Davis families and administration are also strong supporters of Sanchez. I thought that it was unethical and should be against policy: in the past Superintendents have donated to Educational Enrichment Foundation and allowed it to give the money to children and schools on a greatest need basis.But there is absolutely no political patronage benefit to doing something so simple and altruistic--better to give it to a few chosen schools (whose favor you need) out of the 86 that the Superintendent is responsible for. It was so obviously buying allegiance that only a caudillo would have thought of it to begin with.
In trying to explain TUSD to an out of town friend the other day, I was reminded of how amazing it is that a district could be such an abject leadership failure on so many fronts all while receiving 65 million extra dollars to desegregate and improve the education of who has now become the majority of its students. How could that even happen if the Board and the Superintendents WERE focused on doing the best by the kids? Its always amazing to me that the Board member who talks about continuity the most often says "I have seen X number of Superintendents over my years on the Board" without wondering whether her own very long-term presence or actions could have been a part of that level of discontent! Continuity is a brand new value: I don't recall any of the Board majority 4 years ago begging Dr. Pedicone to stay (although Kristel Foster did have an epiphany during the most recent campaign, with photos and stories to prove her new BFF relationship with the man she eviscerated for his MAS stance during the first campaign).
In short, this article is another stunning example of biased reporting on TUSD from the once-great Weekly. On that note, I will say that it was a real thrill to see David Safier, the usually very biased TUSD blogger actually AT THE MEETING taking notes. I'd like to think that by actually being there, he might have noticed the grotesque level of disfunctionality in the Board family that is NOT caused by the new majority. Whether or not he would make such a thing public, though, is a different question. I am not holding my breath!
I have been thinking about taking art classes. I think I need a better creative outlet in my life. Art can be so therapeutic and fun at the same time! http://www.colorestartsupplies.com/fall-2016-class-schedule.html
Now that's what Rock n Roll is and should be all about!
Grand Funk (Railroad) weren't the critic's darlings, but they couldn't care less. They were loved by the people...and they packed every venue, no matter how big, that they visited for several years.
Both of the videos posted here prove why. They fucking rocked.
I have major respect for Mark, Don, Mel and (partial member) Craig. Shit, even Homer J. Simpson is a fan.
The bully prepares the ground by giving candy to anyone who agrees with him publicly and by punching anyone who disagrees with him publicly in the face.
Then the bully puts on a show: "How many people agree with me?"
And we are supposed to conclude that because a lot of people are willing to publicly agree with the bully to get candy and very few are willing to publicly disagree and get punched in the face, there is no genuine, widespread opposition to the bully's opinion?
How many people are too stupid to see this for what it is? David Safier pretends to be, but somehow I think that he, having recently served as part of the bully's enforcement squad, understands how it works very well.
Thank you, Jim Campbell, for providing very effective personal testimony. And thank you to Kathy for being one of the only people in town willing to take the risk of very publicly and very effectively asking for better for our kids.
How did "Salvery" -- in the headline, of all things -- ever get past an editor?

The New Orleans Saints rebounded from a dismal 2012, achieving a wild card playoff spot in 2013. Sean Payton was back on the sideline, helping his team steady the ship, improve the defense and regain their homefield advantage in the SuperDome. That said, Payton was able to gameplan having two All-Pro players on the offensive side of the ball.
Jimmy Graham and guard Jahari Evans were named to the NFL All-Pro team today. Graham earning first team honors above 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, and Evans making the second team, behind Louis Vasquez and Even Mathis of the Eagles.

very beautiful
This photo is absolutely beautiful! Any photoshop added to this? I too prefer nature and landscapes – they don"t complain like humans do (about the pose, the light, etc)!!
Good image
Yosemite Park is a natural Wonder-this Winter Photo is wonderful.
The foreground, with the snow-covered rocks and the ice looking like a lily pad, is unusual and striking. The background (even without Half Dome) says Yosemite. Very nice.
That is one really unusual looking shot today! Turned out beautiful!
A really gorgeous shot! Great job getting a unique image of such a highly photographed spot.
Nice perspective but looks really cold.

The overarching goal of this Renewal K24 Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research is to foster training of promising junior investigators in high quality Patient-Oriented Research in clinical virology, with a focus on HSV infections. During the first cycle of K24 funding, the PI achieved her original goals, increased the number of clinical investigators under her supervision, including several with K23 awards, and published 55 manuscripts first-authored by mentees. Additionally, Dr. Wald has expanded her research portfolio, and broadened the scope of her mentoring activities. Ongoing projects include translational, clinical, therapeutic, epidemiologic, and preventative research, as well as clinical trials of drugs and vaccines. Our group has shown that HSV-2 reactivates frequently in the genital tract and that these epithelial infections are rapidly cleared by host immunity. Using biopsies of genital mucosa, we have shown that HSV-2 infection is associated with a dense and persistent infiltrate of immune cells, many bearing HIV entry receptors. The funded projects have these Specific Aims: 1) To determine the frequency of rapidly cleared (<6 hrs) mucosal HSV-2 infections by gender and degree of immunosuppression;2) To define the clearance rate of mucosal HSV reactivation in relation to locally infiltrating HSV-2-specific CD8+ T cells in genital skin at the anatomic site of reactivation. We hypothesize that the clearance of the shedding episode and time to next reactivation will correlate with the density of CD8+ cells at specific anatomic sites. The newly proposed projects include studies of genital HSV-1 and of interactions between HSV-2 and abnormal vaginal microbiota. Recent decade has seen a shift from HSV-2 to HSV-1 as the predominant cause of genital herpes in US. Yet natural history studies of this infection are lacking.
The Specific Aim 3 will address these gaps by: A) determining the frequency of rapidly cleared (<6 hrs) mucosal HSV-1 infections in men and women with newly acquired (<6 months) and established (>2 years) genital HSV-1 infections;2) evaluating the site of HSV infection in persons who transmitted genital HSV-1 infection to their partners. We hypothesize that >50% of sex partners will have HSV-1 shedding from the genital tract, thus indicating the possibility of genital-to-genital HSV-1 transmission. Epidemiologic studies suggest an interaction between HSV and bacterial vaginosis;we will extend these pilot observations into clinical and mechanistic studies.
Specific aim 4 will evaluate the effect of vaginal microbiota on HSV shedding and the effect of HSV suppression on vaginal microbiota. We hypothesize that these 2 conditions will have an adverse effect on each other, and that the effect will be mediated by soluble mediators of inflammation, such as secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, human neutrophil peptides 1-3 and lactoferrin,. These carefully selected projects provide opportunities for training junior clinical investigators in high-quality Patient-Oriented Research and preparations for an investigative career in clinical virology.
This application supports ongoing training of the next generation of physician investigators in studies in clinical virology, in particular in genital herpes, an infection that affects about 20% of US population. This research aims to investigate the relationship between the virus and the immune response in the genital tract, increase our knowledge about genital infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 as well as about interaction between genital herpes and bacterial vaginosis, another common condition of women.
