By David Krueger Herald Writer
SEATTLE — There's a moment for every Major League Baseball player when his name echoes over the stadium loudspeakers, announcing to the world that he's being called into action.
It's the culmination of years of hard work. And as he steps into the batter's box or strolls to the mound, his arrival is greeted with a sacred baseball tradition.
The walk-up song.
It's music usually hand selected by the player to get himself and the fans pumped up. The reasons behind the selection of a certain tune are as varied as the songs themselves.
"For me, it starts with I want something that nobody else has," said Seattle Mariners shortstop Brenden Ryan, who walks out to "Breathe And Stop" by Q-Tip. "I don't want commercial stuff. I want something unique. Something that speaks to me. So I go a little bit different."
Ryan wants something with a "nice beat." However, there are restrictions.
"Something that isn't over the top like, say Metallica, or some heavy metal kind of stuff like you're trying too hard," Ryan said. "And it's certainly not going to be country or Reggaeton."
Mariners rookie infielder Nick Franklin grew up listening to rock and roll, so when it came time for him to select a song he went with a classic he's listened to his whole life. Something that told him "Don't Stop Believin'."
"I was just listening to Journey growing up, that and other classic rock," Franklin said. "Journey was just a track I used a couple times in the minor leagues. I enjoy it. I like it."
The Journey fan said there aren't really hard and fast rules for picking a song.
"Honestly, it's whatever makes you feel good," Franklin said. "What relaxes somebody. Some guys like a good rhythm."
Some players take the walk-up music selection process very seriously. Seattle outfielder Jason Bay, who grew up in Trail, British Columbia, selected a song — "State Of Love And Trust" by Pearl Jam — as a nod to his home area.
"I live here in the offseason and I consider myself a Northwest guy and I grew up with Pearl Jam," said Bay, who attended Gonzaga University. "I played the first nine years of my career in Boston, Pittsburgh, New York — on the East Coast — and some guys like to play whatever's hot at the moment and I kind of take the idea that it's kind of a reflection of who you are and where you come from. I've done the Pearl Jam thing for a while just because of that. Now, being in the Northwest, it kind of looks like maybe I'm just trying to do it just because I'm here, but I'm not. I've done it for a while."
Other players don't give their walkup music a second thought. In fact, some buck the trend altogether, preferring to stroll to the plate in silence. That was the case with former Mariners first baseman Tino Martinez, and earlier this season for outfielder Mike Morse.
Morse has since returned to the baseball norm.
"It was too quiet," he said. "So I picked the Icona Pop 'I Don't Care I Love It.' It's a cool song. I just pick whatever. Whatever's on my iPod. Whatever I'm listening to."
All the players agreed on one thing: If a slump occurs on the field, it's time to change the music.
"If it's not working, it's clearly the song," Ryan said. "You've got to switch it up."
"Absolutely," Morse added with a laugh. "It's always the music's fault."
The players and those behind the scenes in the control room at Safeco Field have a strong collaboration when it comes to music. Michael Ferguson, the game entertainment and special events manager for the Mariners, produces the in-game show at the ballpark. Music is a huge part of his job.
"It's kind of cool seeing what music they like," Ferguson said. "The batter-intro music, to me, describes their personality. It gives you a little insight to the type of person that player is. Like Justin Smoak or (Kyle) Seager, they're country guys. Then you have Brenden Ryan who likes some old-school R&B. Michael Morse likes a little bit of everything from '80s to techno. It's just kind of cool seeing them all."
In his five years with the Mariners, one player's music in particular stands out to Ferguson, who would walk up to "Fergalicious" by Fergie if he was in the big leagues.
"Ichiro (Suzuki) I thought was always pretty cool because he had a little bit of a relationship with Flo Rida who's an R&B artist and Flo Rida actually created a batter-intro song personally for him," Ferguson said. "So that was pretty cool to see a guy have his own custom song by a pretty well-respected artist."
Mariners' public address announcer Tom Hutyler helped pick one of the most iconic walk-up songs in the team's history when he suggested Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" for outfielder Raul Ibanez. The howling in the song became an immediate fan favorite.
"They get all the credit for that," said Ibanez, who added that he only used that song when he played in Seattle. "The fans like it so I kept it and ran with it. It's a really neat thing. It gives me great memories of Seattle. The fans seem to like it and I'm on board with them. We have fun with it."
The Mariners senior director of marketing, Gregg Greene, said there have been a lot of good songs over the years, from Ken Griffey, Jr.'s "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty by Nature, to Jay Buhner's "Bad to the Bone" and even John Olerud's "Ole, Ole, Ole" soccer chant.
However, he noted that not all the Mariners' music choices go over well with the players. Hence, the need to work together.
"For Edgar (Martinez) we only played a (particular) song for him once," Greene said. "He was hitting like .380 in June and just tearing the cover off the ball. So we busted out the old 'Batman' theme from the Adam West show and he came up to it once. He called up after the game and said, 'I don't ever want to hear that again.'"
One time the Mariners helped start a league-wide trend in stadium music. There is one song that has its own place in Seattle walk-up music folklore. Greene calls it "The Legend of 'Who Let the Dogs Out.'"
"We played it for our backup catcher, Joe Oliver, and he nearly hit for the cycle with it. Then the next day he went 4-for-4 so he was basically 7-for-8 with the song on Friday and Saturday," Greene said. "Then Sunday came and we got a call from the clubhouse saying (Alex Rodriguez) wanted the song. I literally had to go talk to A-Rod just to make sure. … I was like, 'I just want to confirm, you want "Who Let the Dogs Out" when you come up to bat. I just want to be crystal clear that's what you want.' And he goes, 'Yeah, I like the sound of it. It sounds like Miami.'"
With the M's success, other teams began playing the song around Major League Baseball and a fad was born. The Mariners even had the Baja Men perform the song in concert at the ballpark in 2000.
Greene, who walked up to Kermit the Frog's "It Ain't Easy Being Green" in the Mariners' staff championship softball game during the offseason, and the Mariners have since sworn off bringing the legend back because of its "oversaturation."
"It's done," Greene said. "The dogs are long out. They've run away and they're not coming back."

Excercises during pregnancy
There are a lot of exercises that pregnant mums can do. But is yoga more recommended? And s there any limitations with the exercises that pregnant mums can do? How about sex? Someone told me it is also considered as an exercise.
7th June 2014 12:54 AM #2
Hi duly3nn3,
When exercising in pregnancy what is important is to exercise at a level similar to your pre-pregnancy exercise levels (obviously avoiding contact sports). You should also avoid laying on your back as this can cause the uterus to put too much pressure on the spine and can restrict the blood flow to the baby and leave you feeling faint.
Yoga is often recommended in pregnancy because it also involves breathing exercises which can help you to learn to relax both in pregnancy and labour. However, it is not really 'better' than other exercises. Swimming is a great one in pregnancy as is power walking. You can also take a relaxation class or a course such as Hypnobirthing or Calmbirth to help you to learn to relax (this is particularly important in labour and is likely to lead to a shorter, smoother labour) alongside your exercises.
Sex is safe in pregnancy unless you have been advised otherwise by a doctor. Yes it is a form of exercise!

Wow! Thank you so much! This is the first time I heard about Hypnobirthing and Calmbirth. Thank you so much for your help. :-)

You are really welcome. Do have a look into both of those courses/relaxation methods as both are excellent.

How to Become A Game Changer
By Erie Brewster, Ambassador Girl Scout from Troop 2046
To be honest, I never thought I would learn so much when I first walked into the "Be a Game Changer" seminar at BNY Mellon. Signing up for the seminar, I had only briefly glanced at the description, so I initially thought that it would merely be a two- to three-hour tour of the New York Stock Exchange. However, when I arrived that morning I saw that the agenda for the day included a long list of speakers from the business world, most of whom I did not know), and I was shocked to see that it did not finish until 3 p.m. How much could these people possibly have to say about being a "game changer?" Frankly, I was not even sure what a game changer was. But by the end of the seminar I had learned not only what the term meant, but how to become a game changer myself – along with so much more.
To start off with a quick definition, game changers are those among us who are always ready to adapt their skills or learn something new, who stay ahead of the game and become the best at their profession while still keeping their Girl Scout values of morals and sisterhood. Heather Landy, Editor-in-Chief of the American Banker Magazine, was the opening speaker. She shared a list of ten lessons that can be learned from top women in business; her advice included the abstract (such as: be authentic so you can be your best self), the common (such as: manage your to-do list, because being organized makes the difference between missing your deadline and getting praise from your boss for a job well done), and the strange (think of your career as a lattice instead of a ladder, because a ladder can go only one way, while a lattice also lets you move sideways around an obstacle.) Ms. Landy emphasized to always seek mentorship from people who are where you want to be. She explained that such people can give sound advice because they already have the experience of what it took to get to the next level. And, having more than one mentor enables you to choose between steps and to pick a strategy that best fits your goals. I realized for the first time that day that you're never too old to have a mentor, and this realization was an eye-opener for me, helping me truly understand that we should never stop learning if we want to keep moving forward.
I also got to hear my fellow Girl Scouts' opinions on women in business: about their power, about the increasing drive of women into positions of power, and about the fact that equality in the workplace has still not been achieved. This was a subject discussed by Wanda Hill, Managing Director of BNY Mellon, as well as during table discussions with mentors, professional women who were kind enough to give up their time and share with us their own experience of growing up, going to college, and navigating obstacles, eventually succeeding in their various careers at BNY Mellon.
One surprise at the seminar was a panel discussion on managing personal finances, planning a career in business, and on the economy and capital markets. Panelists included Richard Hoey, BNY Mellon Chief Economist; Matt DeMarco, BNY Mellon Vice President, Wealth Management; Katie Heinritz, BNY Mellon Vice President, Global Campus Relations; and panel moderator Davia Temin, CEO, Temin & Company, and first Vice Chair, Girl Scouts Board of Trustees. Listening to those panelists, I realized the importance of keeping up with domestic and international news as a source of information that can be useful at any time and in any situation.
I could go on and on about how amazing the seminar turned out to be – about being inside the New York Stock Exchange for the first time, learning how it operates; about having a five-second spot on Fox Business News; about participating in the thoroughly enjoyable workshop "Branding Yourself" by David Polansky. However, you would probably just skip to the end, so I will close by saying that if you ever see an opportunity like this, you owe it to yourself to explore it. I am saying this because I never thought that a one-day seminar would give me so much food for thought, or that it would make me contemplate my future enough to prompt me to make decisions I might otherwise have made too late, such as opening a savings account and starting to put away money, or finally getting serious about studying for the SAT so I can get into the college of my choosing. You never know what you will discover when you try something new.

The official date of the change to Multnomah University looms. It was impressed on me to address the one area that I know is in the forefront of concern for all of you – Multnomah's website.
Name Change Brings Web Change
When we first started discussing the name change we knew it would have an impact on our web presence. It really came down to a couple of options for what that would look like. We could do some touch up work on our current site (a band-aid really) or suck it up and rebuild the whole thing. Seeing how it was really about time for an overhaul, the process is now under way to come up with a brand-new look and feel as well as a new site structure.
New Challenges
A change of name for a well established institution means different things depending on who you ask. To me, university is a big name trying to bring together all that Multnomah does and is. Multnomah serves a diverse group of people all seeking very different things. We still have our traditional college and seminary students, but Multnomah has grown to offer other programs such as online education, graduate degrees in teaching, and a degree completion program. Multnomah also has a thriving alumni and contributor community. In fact, the list of those with vested interest in Multnomah is a very long one. All of these impact our decisions as we move forward on a website redesign. Our website, which is really your website, must be relevant to you.
More then just a cosmetic change, we are really striving to tailor Multnomah's new website to meet the needs of these diverse groups, and to be quickly navigable, making the information you want easy to find.
The Wait
A fresh, new look, relevant/current information, well organized structure… it all sounds really good, doesn't it? Well it won't be up by July 1st. That is for certain. We are still in the beginning phases of research and analysis ([cough], the fun stuff). I am already excited to see what all the Multnomah site is going be. Now, I really don't expect you to just sit there and wait. What changes/additions to the Multnomah site could help you? Let us know what you think.

Tour Tomorrow's Technologies: The Sky Is the Limit
September 13, 2013
By Charles C. Poling, Contributing Writer
R.T.s work in a world that has been defined by technology since the discovery of the x-ray more than 100 years ago. Think of the innovations that have emerged in the past few decades, from computer-assisted diagnosis to digital radiography, from computed tomography to functional magnetic resonance imaging. Even as you read this, new systems are barreling down the road toward you. What might they be? How will they change your job? Will health care policy help or hinder their implementation? Knowing what technologic developments are under way — some just around the corner — can help you plot your course through the changing landscape of the radiologic sciences.
Broadening Skill Sets, Improved Safety and Quality
It's impossible to predict the future, especially given the infinite possibilities science offers, but it's reasonable to forecast that medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies will become more accurate, and some more complex. But these improvements are not all in the name of science — for R.T.s, they come in the name of patient safety and quality care.
"In the near term, you're going to have the normal organic migration of technology, basically enhancements or improvements to existing technology," said Ray Russell, M.B.A., R.T.(R), director of sales for national accounts, channels and western zone at Agfa HealthCare. "CT is going to be better, faster, cheaper. You've got all the slice enhancements coming on, and every time you get to a new plateau, it expands the amount of data collected and relevant clinical information. That's going to impact R.T.s."
Corey Zankowski, vice president of product management at Varian Medical Systems, also predicts "evolutionary improvements on the existing imaging systems," citing in particular "the megavoltage and kilovoltage area. You'll see increases in overall imaging quality and the addition of high-quality time-based four-dimensional imaging."
Observes Corey, radiation therapists can expect more imaging during [radiation] treatment as a means to track the motions and uncertainties of the patient and, after treatment, reconstruct the dose given to the patient. Linac-MR, cobalt-MR and ultrasound might factor into real-time imaging in the future, although Corey conceded that "right now, it's kind of a science experiment. I don't see it being real for a couple of years yet."
Charles Washington, M.B.A., R.T.(T), FASRT, administrator in radiation oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, agreed that image-guided radiation therapy will continue to grow. "Image guidance provides us with the ability to treat patients more accurately and escalate the dose, but it comes at the cost of greater complexity. Then you need to have increased competence to do it effectively."
For instance, Charles said, "You'll find more and more MR-based simulators and treatments coming down the pipeline, giving us better imaging capability on treatment. As we try to do more with the tools we have, the radiation therapist is going to need a broader skill set to mazimize these tools.
"In the next five to 10 years, there will be higher percentages of what we're doing now," Charles predicted. "Things like image-guided radiation therapy that maybe takes up 15 to 20 percent of the overall volume in your department now may be upwards of 50 percent, if not more." Just as CT eclipsed fluoroscopy for simulation, "who's to say that core [modality] won't become MR?"
What's on the far horizon for radiation oncology? "You'll start to see better, faster image processing," Charles said. "You'll start seeing more adaptive technology where, maybe 10 years down the road, you'll be able to alter your treatment planning as it's delivered. The onboard imaging, image guidance and adaptive types of four-dimensional therapies available today are only going to get better, with better ways to image and track tumors."
Farther-out technologies expected to take hold, from nanoparticles to genomics, "will be an additive to innovations already being developed," Charles said. "Once you look at the genomic component, along with the other advances in technology, you'll start seeing those different types of innovations being melded together."
Corey said the trend from hyperfractionation to hypofractionation is taking off, caused in part by higher levels of precision in radiation therapy becoming possible. As a result, we'll see "very short treatment regimens" based on "really advanced imaging, patient monitoring, and motion management strategy." They will involve "sophisticated treatment planning that accounts for motion in the treatment plan. These changes will place a very high level of responsibility on the therapist. Ten years in the future, we will be tracking dose in real time so therapists know whether they're really on target. Therapists will enter the world of adaptive, or single-shot therapy, and they'll have to understand dosimetry."
Charles, Corey, Ray and others foresee a time when existing technologies undergo so much development that they leap beyond their familiar roles. For instance, Jon Hollon, B.S., R.T.(R)(T), senior director of worldwide training and education at Varian, suggested that in the future the term radiation oncology might broaden to encompass radiation medicine. Corey added, "Many doctors are researching the use of radiation to replace the knife in certain indications where surgery is very challenging," such as to treat heart arrhythmia, modify neuropathways in the brain or "treat really small things to affect metabolic or functional changes in the body."
Computers and Big Data
Computers also will sculpt the future medical imaging landscape. For example, increased processing power will enable radiation therapists to "adaptively plan and treat our patients," Charles said. He already sees wireless handheld devices making inroads in his department. "Right now, I'm going through a pilot with my faculty, using iPad minis so they can access all the record-andverify systems, check their images, enter prescriptions — all the things they normally do in front of their computer screens. Our physicians are loving them."
The impact of handheld devices on the work of radiation therapists isn't clear, Corey said, partly because of technical problems using wireless technology in their workplaces. "There's a natural use for the mobile devices, some of which we haven't figured out yet. We're in a phase of unnatural experimentation."
On a larger scale, increased processing power and other information technology developments are enabling complex data sets drawing on a variety of patient records and other sources to guide imaging.
At Agfa, Ray said, "we're continually looking at enhancements that deal with these ever-increasing data sets, everything from standard 3-D visualization, which is taking advantage of existing data sets, to things like hybrid imaging that seem to be in the pipeline and will place more and more demands on R.T.s."
Ray also described the imminent development of "composite imaging," which draws upon images from multiple modalities and other data to create a new image that incorporates information from all those sources — a view we've never seen before. He also described the potential for software hybrid imaging, which depends on computers to stitch images together.
Paging Dr. Smartphone
A catalog of future technologies might not list robots replacing R.T.s, but it could include ultrasound-capable smartphones, far-out devices like the Star Trek tricorder that perform a wide array of noninvasive diagnostics, injectable imaging devices and other biosensors operating on a microscopic scale. Optical coherence tomography, which Agfa and others are developing, creates the possibility of imaging the skin at various levels.
"Our holy grail for any dermatological application would be eliminating biopsies for squamous or basal cell carcinoma," Ray said. On another front entirely, SPECT-CT might provide whole-body imaging and also aid in dosimetry.
Two areas heading straight for a clinic near you certainly will affect the work of R.T.s, the experts say: the advent of nanoparticles as diagnostic and treatment tools, and the inevitable emergence of genomics in daily medicine. Miniaturization technology creates amazing possibilities for imaging on a very small scale inside the body, with some camera companies seeking to mate optical technologies with endoscopy for extremely accurate diagnoses and treatment.
"Virtually all the existing imaging platforms could be impacted," said Ray. Nanoparticles also enable "theranostics" — diagnosis and treatment in one procedure. While imaging with nanoparticles, "you can attach whatever therapeutic agent you want to the same platform. Say you've diagnosed a particular tumor using nanoparticles. You could do therapeutics at the same time and follow whether the tumor is shrinking in real time as you're doing the therapy. CT, MR and ultrasound all lend themselves to this new technology."
Genomics involves running complete genetic screening on a patient, then using that information for diagnosing and treating diseases or even preventing them, based on genetic predisposition. "Genomics — in my mind, that's a white board," Ray said of the field's vast potential. "Sensor technology will be so miniaturized that 10 years from now you'll be able to do many tests from one pinprick of blood." Such diagnostics might be integrated into imaging platforms.
"If it becomes so easy to do, you might have certain [imaging] protocols, depending on what that genetic test shows, so R.T.s will have to be more conversant with the biology behind it and have an understanding of the genetic test," Ray said. In MR, for instance, "you might do a certain sequence depending on the genetic test outcome. The ability to correlate all that data will become more demanding."
Finally, in an issue quite familiar to R.T.s, "dose safety really is a technology driver. Hospitals are focusing on dose safety and dose monitoring," said Robert Maliff, director of applied solutions at the ECRI Institute, a nonprofit organization that researches ways to improve the safety and quality of patient care.
"Do we spend the money to install the new software in our existing CTs, or do we just say 'Hey, is it worthwhile to replace our CT platforms and get the software at the same time?'" Still, no matter how good the software is, "there's always going to have to be a technologist." A robot won't steal your job: "Machine to machine is not that good yet. You still need to figure out patient weight and set the right protocol. You'd think there could be an algorithm for that, but we're just not there yet."
Letting the Smoke Settle
Bill Brennan Jr., M.A., R.T.(R)(CT), CIIP, presidentelect of the ASRT Board of Directors, takes a different tack on technological change: "It has always been fun to hypothesize about how advances in technology will affect the way any health care professional works and, in fact, we might even have been able to do so with some degree of accuracy in the past," he said. "However, the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has rendered all such conjecture pointless until we see how its implementation will affect the economics of medicine," particularly the formulas used to set Medicare reimbursement rates.
"Until the smoke settles a bit" around those rates and the other effects of the act — such as the number of new patients entering the health care system — hospitals and imaging centers can't accurately run a cost-benefit analysis on major new expenses, Bill said.
Robert agreed. "A lot of hospitals are trying to figure out how the Affordable Care Act will affect them. In the past few years, every industry has been restrained because of the Great Recession. Health care had the double whammy of the recession and the Affordable Care Act. Figuring out how to allocate capital is a tough decision when a lot of hospitals are still trying to figure out how to dig out from the past several years of limited capital."
Bill views the situation philosophically. "I would not even venture a guess as to what the future holds for medical technology. However, I will make one prediction: R.T.s will adapt to whatever is thrown their way. We are first and foremost problem solvers and patient advocates. I do not see that changing regardless of economics. R.T.s will continue to seek the best images possible, using whatever technology is available, so their patients get the best care."
"The essentials of what we do and what makes us successful in providing services to the patient won't change. Compassion, interacting with patients and adapting to patients' needs will still be the core of what we do," said Kevin Powers, Ed.D., R.T.(R)(M), ASRT director of education. "We'll still have to be masters of technology, experts in radiation protection and the effects of radiation in the body, and able to create and critique images and therapies that we produce to maintain high quality and high value."
To Charles, the future is wide open: "Many new and different applications of technology will make fantastic things possible. It's all for the sake of trying to make the overall outcome of the patient better. As long as we keep our patients as the No. 1 focus, we'll continue to challenge ourselves to progress more and more. The sky is the limit. When you peer inside a crystal ball, it's going to reflect the limitations of our minds. You think, 'What could be?' Then it can be."

Remember I brung up Shotty not too long ago? Have you come across his 'Fire In The Booth' with Charlie Sloth?!
WOWOWOOWOW. He recently did a gig at the club I work at and absolutely killed it...
The whole video is STUUUUPID but the first 2 minutes... what a way to come in:
"They say that I'm so cold, I'm freezin',
I say that I'm so cold I'm Stone Cold, I'm Steven,
I roll with some Kimbos and Lyoto Machidas,
They'll squeeze a choke hold and there's no hope for breathin',
We will need Goldberg, Joe Rogan speakin',
A replay roll and a slow motion sequence,
But we don't go for the promos and speeches,
Now they know it's straight beers when the logos are featured,
My flow strong enough to judo throw Parisian,
Punch lines'll punch a big ol' hole through Leben…"
"Swagger's immaculate so they jack it like Sprayway,
You man are actors you got me laughin' like Day Day,
High Rise – don't be leavin' us around your la-dy,
We'll pick her up like AA; and battery her like AA…"
Then I remembered his Big L Ebonics inspired 'Manny Talk'
Keeping with the Ebonics theme... I'm lifted out my tree right now

SHOCK VIDEO: Terror groups training children to fire pistols and AK-47's
(Sharona Schwartz) Two videos posted online may offer new evidence that terror groups are imparting the fundamentals of their tradecraft at an ever earlier age.
In the first video, some 20 children, who in other parts of the world might be getting their first taste of the alphabet and basic mathematics in kindergarten, are instead lining up in a makeshift outdoor firing range and shooting pistols and AK-47s.
The shooters are so light they can be seen being physically thrown back – in unison – from the weapons' recoil.'

Gwendolyn Toth, Director
Time: 8 pm
Pre-concert lecture at 7 pm by Dr. Barbara Russano Hanning
Tickets: $15-$50
Available in advance through Gotham Early Music Scene, (212) 866-0468, or online at www.gemsny.org. All seating is reserved. Senior and student discounts are available.
Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata, written in 1581, has inspired countless Italian Renaissance and baroque composers to create musical masterpieces based on its tales of love, war and betrayal during the Crusades. The internationally renowned ensemble ARTEK will present 16th-century a cappella madrigal settings by Giaches de Wert and Claudio Monteverdi, two of the greatest madrigal composers. The program will also feature two 17th-century continuo madrigals by Biagio Marini and Domenico Mazzocchi. Rounding out the program will be solo settings of the Lamento d'Erminia, on a text by Guido Casoni based on Tasso's poem, by Giovanni Rovetta and Biagio Marini; Marini's version is rarely heard and is a vocal tour de force for soprano. Two other solo songs in the program are Roman settings of texts from Gerusalemme Liberata written for Cardinal Giulio Savelli's musical spectacle in 1619 by the composers Giovanni Bernardino Nanino and Ottavio Catalani.
The program features ARTEK's outstanding singers, who bring both virtuoso vocal ability as well as an extraordinary a cappella ensemble sensitivity: soprano Laura Heimes, mezzo-soprano Barbara Hollinshead, countertenor Ryland Angel, tenors Philip Anderson and Michael Brown, and bass-baritone Peter Becker. They will be joined in the accompanied music by members of ARTEK's famed continuo team: Christa Patton, harp; Charles Weaver, guitar and theorbo; Kevin Payne, theorbo; Grant Herreid, lute; Motomi Igarashi, lirone and viola da gamba; and Gwendolyn Toth, harpsichord and director of ARTEK.
A pre-concert lecture at 7 pm by Dr. Barbara Russano Hanning is included in the ticket price.

About the Ensemble and principal participants:
ARTEK, founded by director Gwendolyn Toth in 1986, features America's finest singers and instrumentalists in performances of 17th century repertoire from Italy and Germany. Audiences love ARTEK concerts for their exciting, dramatic performances of baroque music, with compelling musical settings of beautiful poetry and infectious dance rhythms that infuse the performances with vitality and spirit. In addition to acclaimed performances of I'll Never See the Stars Again, highlights of past seasons include standing-ovation performances to sell-out crowds at the Regensburg (Germany) Tage Alter Musik Festival (1998 and 2003) and debut performances at the prestigious Boston Early Music Festival (2003) and the Berkeley Early Music Festival (2010). ARTEK toured internationally from 1997 to 2002 with the Mark Morris Dance Group, visiting major venues in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Canada, as well as more than 50 of America's premier theaters. ARTEK's recordings of Monteverdi's Orfeo and other early Italian repertoire have been widely praised. www.artekearlymusic.org.
Praised for her "sparkle and humor, radiance and magnetism" and hailed for "a voice equally velvety up and down the registers," soprano Laura Heimes is widely regarded as an artist of great versatility, with repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century. She has collaborated with many of the leading figures in early music, including Andrew Lawrence King, Julianne Baird, Tempeste di Mare, The King's Noyse, Paul O'Dette, Chatham Baroque, Apollo's Fire, The New York Collegium, The Publick Musick, Brandywine Baroque, Trinity Consort, and Piffaro – The Renaissance Band, a group with whom she has toured the United States. She has been heard at the Boston, Connecticut and Indianapolis Early Music Festivals, at the Oregon and Philadelphia Bach Festivals under the baton of Helmuth Rilling, at the Carmel Bach Festival under Bruno Weil, and in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil in concerts of Bach and Handel. With the Philadelphia Orchestra she appeared as Mrs. Nordstrom in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. Ms. Heimes has recorded for Dorian, Pro Gloria Musicae, Plectra Music, Sonabilis, Albany and Avian records.
Mezzo-soprano Barbara Hollinshead has been a member of ARTEK since 1995. A popular soloist in the Washington, DC area, the Washington Post has described her as singing with "an artful simplicity that illuminated the text and beguiled the ear." She studied with Max van Egmond in the Netherlands, and has since sung under the baton of Christopher Hogwood and Andrew Parrott, appeared with many of the finest early music groups in eastern North America including Tafelmusik, Chatham Baroque, and the Four Nations Ensemble, and is a regular guest artist with the Folger Consort, Opera Lafayette, and the Washington Bach Consort. This season she has also been featured with Ensemble VIII in Austin, Texas and several performances with the Bethlehem Bach Choir. Her discography includes works by Carissimi, Rossi, Bach, and Mrs. H.H.A. Beach, as well as two recordings with lutenist Howard Bass of English lute songs and French airs de cour.

Denver improved to 32-18 on the season with victory over the Bulls (29-20), who were blown away by a third-quarter blitz. Leading by just five at halftime, the home side posted 37 points in the third term while holding the Bulls to just 16, ending the game as a contest. Wilson Chandler led the way from the bench for the Nuggets with 24 points, including 5-for-5 from three-point range, while Kenneth Faried added 21 points and 12 rebounds. "Most of our offense was created by good defensive plays," Denver coach George Karl said. "Wilson got the three-ball in the game for us, Kenneth had that great energy and we were an unselfish team. Wilson and Kenneth... what a performance." For Faried, his team's latest impressive display represented a message to the rest of the NBA. "Playing against a good Chicago Bulls team, this was our best game of the season," Faried told reporters. "We are getting out there and we tried to make a statement tonight. "I came out with the mindset to dominate. I wanted to come out, make a statement and Wilson did the same thing. Nationally televised game and we did what we had to do tonight." It is the first time since Jan. 2010 that the Nuggets have won eight in a row and they are now ranked fourth in the Western Conference, having won 14 of their last 16 games.

Buffalo Wild Wings Pulls Sponsorship of Tempe Bowl Game
(KFYI News) – Officials of the Scottsdale-based Fiesta Bowl are scrambling to line up not one, but two bowl game sponsors for the coming season.
Just weeks after Tostitos pulled out as sponsor of the Fiesta Bowl under pressure from ESPN which now controls the naming rights for the BCS Championship games, Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) announced this week that it's not renewing its sponsorship of the bowl game played at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe during the last week of December.
BWW had sponsored the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl for two years. Prior to that, it was known as the Insight Bowl.
Mike Jurecki, afternoon talk show host on KFYI brother station Fox Sports 910, says there's still time for both bowl games to line up sponsors for the coming season, but time is tight.
While it's up to ESPN to find a sponsor for the Fiesta Bowl, the Tempe game is owned by the Fiesta Bowl, so it will be up to a recently-slimmed-down Fiesta Bowl staff to sell the naming rights for the Tempe game, which is legally known as the Valley of the Sun Bowl.
Jurecki says one or both of the bowl games could conceivably pull up stakes if they don't find a corporate sponsor. "I think the Fiesta Bowl is fine because they play at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale," Jurecki says. "As for Sun Devil Stadium, they're undergoing some renovation right now. The future of that bowl game is probably up in the air, but I don't think it's gonna happen overnight."

Ya I'd still paint. There's a legal wall near me that's great if you want to spend alot of time and just do really quality work, and most dope pieces stay up for a while bc people respect the amount of time spent on them
Ya I'd still paint. There's a legal wall near me that's great if you want to spend alot of time and just do really quality work, and most dope pieces stay up for a while bc people respect the amount of time spent on them
allthough making graffiti legal would ruin the whole point to a certain degree
Writing isn't about breaking laws, at least it isn't to me. Its about going out with your crew, having an adventure, finding the perfect spot, and putting your name there to show yourself and others you were there. If it was legal I would still go out and paint.
I'd prolly still do it but like not as recklessly i'd actually take the time to do tasteful masterpieces then
although i admit a lot of the charm comes from the thrill of doing something "illegal"
Rollers all day!!!!
Mostly it would suck but like after a year of close calls, it seems nice.
nope, it would kill the scene, and the streets would be taken over by toy ass motherfuckers trying to be banksy and shit, can you imagine that? walking down the street and knowing that just by ratio of toys to experienced writers alone there would be no way in hell you could combat that shit, FUCK THAT! the illegality helps keep the game progressive cos the majority of toys cant handle the thought of a cop snatchin em up.
i would but its that rush that keeps me goin and if its legal you get more toys
it wont ever be legal but i would defenitely keep writing.
i would, id be happy as hell for a lil while bc no pig would chase ur ass. but after a while ppl gunna say u started writing wen tht law came out n all these toys not knowin bout the culture would just trash it for all the real writers
it would be so boring and the fun would be taken out then faggots just rite over your good work
Being older now, with a job and a family to support, I can't write illegally (very much). Its about the art and getting it seen. Whether it is legal or illegal, its still about the art and recognition. The threat of negative consequences for my family is something I can't risk these days. If it were just me, i'd get up every night of the week, but I can't afford to get caught. So, hell yeah. I'd get up every chance I got if it were legal and I'd even pay pretty serious money for a license if that was an option.
At this point in the game I couldn't even stop if I wanted too its such an addiction and the other reason is I would write on everything all day prob cost me so much more money though in paint haha plus be a lot less toys out their since their would be no risk and people would have way more time to get up and learn their style.... But in the end yea I would and be a lot easier to see what's going on plus you would finish everything you start!!!!
I think I would. But it probably wouldn't be addictive at all. Which is one of the reasons I do it
hell no dude, i write because im not one of those normal pussy's who's too scared to do something illegal (just one of the reasons) graffiti is meant to be illegal, fuck any bitch ass ***** that disagree.
As above, Goober, thats well said sir.
what a bizarre rhetorical question to ask. no i would not, or maybe yes i would? imagine a world where everyone has a hand style and every surface is caked with paint. i'd probably say no, i would not contribute to that phenomenon. i kind of like how things are.

Last November the Sharpie Canada team and the Design Exchange (DX) museum in Toronto teamed up for an exciting project. We challenged DX's large design community to come up with a Sharpie marker holder that would make their office a happier place.
We KNOW the happiness-inducing effects of a Sharpie marker, but in far too many offices our colorful little magical wands are hidden in a drawer with paper clips and tissue paper. We knew we needed to change this. As luck turned out, the DX was in the final stages of their The Happy Show exhibit featuring the work of international renowned graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister. The show is the output of his ten-year exploration and takes a visual, empirical, interactive and quirky look into what makes us human-folk happy. Can we say match made in heaven?!
So, after a quick open call and less than a month later we received thirty amazing entries including renderings, inspirations and detailed design specs. From this amazing group we had the difficult task of choosing ten finalists and had them show us their stuff! They were each tasked with creating their Sharpie designs in time for the opening night on January 9th.
Then it was up to us to show them off! We set up an all white cubicle complete with a white desk, carpet, trash, tape dispenser etc.Truly a blank canvas for some Sharpie inspiration! Guests strolled through the exhibit floor and registered their vote with (what else) Sharpie markers on a giant grid scorekeeper. To date, we've been through over a dozen of these and the DX expects to welcome 35,000 visitors by the time the show wraps up!
The cubicles and Sharpie Holders were a permanent part of The Happy Show until it left town on March 3rd. We will have a winner chosen at the end of the show but DON'T WORRY, we want you to have a say, too! Be sure to cast your vote on Facebook and help us select our winner TODAY!
Are you in the Toronto area and want to check out the Design Exchange? Head right downtown to the Design Exchange and for more information, please visit the DX site www.dx.org.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Those who believe the 2013 Angels are a dangerous baseball team only know half the story.
Outfielders Josh Hamilton and Mike Trout, pitchers Michael Kohn and Bobby Cassevah and third base prospect Kaleb Cowart all count outdoor hunting among their off-season hobbies. That's not unusual in a country of 13.7 million hunters, according to the most recent statistics released by the Department of the Interior, but Cowart said it makes even more sense for baseball players.
"Hunting season falls perfectly in our offseason," he said. "It's a good escape from baseball."
Cowart gained attention last week when Transportation Security Administration officers briefly detained him before his flight into Arizona when a bullet was found in his luggage. That may have been an accident waiting to happen; the 20-year-old said it won't happen again.
It was a bit surprising, too, since Cowart usually favors his crossbow over his hunting pistol.
"It's a different world," he said. "It's harder. You're closer to the animals."
Cowart demonstrated this on Wednesday by pointing from his corner of the Angels dressing room to the other, perhaps 60 feet away. Shooting an animal at that close of a distance is "a rush," he said, albeit one most of us know nothing about. It's a necessity because an arrow travels about 300 feet per second while a bullet travels 3,600 feet per second.
Bowhunting, which falls under the larger umbrella of archery, is a niche sport. Many read the "Hunger Games" trilogy or saw the movie of the same name, but most Southern California have probably never held a crossbow, let alone fired a loaded bow for sport.
The sport is gaining in popularity, said Bruce Cull, the president of the National Field Archery Association, the largest archery membership organization in the United States.
"We've seen a big demographic change," Cull said. "Our biggest competition is the Vegas shoot. We have two different divisions and both saw about a 30 percent increase (compared to last year), which is sizeable for us on the national/world level.
"I think some of it's a cyclical thing, some of it's the Hollywood spinoffs."
In the green backwoods of Georgia, it's a natural extension of the lifestyle.
"There's not too many people that don't hunt where I'm from," Cowart said. "It's just fun to be outdoors."
Hamilton is from North Carolina, Cassevah is from Florida and Kohn is from South Carolina. Trout, who hails from Millville, N.J., is the geographical outlier. New Jersey isn't known for its lush outdoors, but Trout said he got his start around age 10 shooting deer, duck, rabbit and pheasant in his home state.
Now, he said, "I go all over, mainly Missouri and Iowa."
Trout said he frequents Nontypical Lodge in Lamoni, Iowa, a game reserve that bills itself as "one of this country's best-kept hunting secrets," although perhaps not for long. It is the antithesis of the congested cities and suburbs surrounding Anaheim, a 5,300-acre haven of natural solitude.
That's where Trout bagged his prize catch, a 230-pound deer.
Cowart said he mounts his game and keeps them in a trophy room (of sorts) at his parents' house in Georgia.
"I've got stuff everywhere," he said. "My badger's mounted in there. Ducks, geese, coyotes, pheasant. My girlfriend bagged a deer."
Trout does not.
"I don't shoot anything I don't eat," he said.
Both players said bowhunting was a tradition passed down to them from family. Cowart learned mainly from a grandfather, Tommy Crosby.Trout's father, Jeff, is an avid deer hunter.
Forget your fantasy baseball draft. Trout and Cowart are first-round picks for The Hunger Games.

My wife, I believe, was advancing along the corridor when Sperry closed the door.
Look here, Mr. Sperry, how much is this bill with the whiskers?
After some debate, therefore, I called up Sperry, but he flatly refused to go on any further.
As she greeted Mrs. Sperry, she said softly, "It was very kind of you to do all this."
Sperry was waiting for me in his library, a pleasant room which I have often envied him.
We were early, as my wife is a punctual person, and soon after our arrival Sperry came.
He was at Sperry's house, Sperry having been his physician during his recent illness.
At midnight, shortly after we reached home, Sperry called me on the phone.
Some were for attacking them, but Sperry was of a contrary opinion.
Sperry was waiting on his door-step, and we went on to the Wells house.
Sperry Sper·ry (spěr'ē), Roger Wolcott. Born 1913.
American neurobiologist. He shared a 1981 Nobel Prize for studies of the organization and functioning of the brain.
American neurobiologist who pioneered the behavioral investigation of "split-brain" animals and humans, establishing that each hemisphere of the brain controls specific higher functions. He shared with American neurophysiologist David H. Hubel and Swedish neurophysiologist Torsten N. Wiesel the 1981 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine.
Our Living Language : Ever wondered what it's like to see the world upside-down and backwards? Some salamanders found out in the 1930s. They were experimental subjects in the lab of Roger Sperry, who had made his first big splash on the scientific community by showing that the functions of specific motor nerves in mammals were hardwired and unchangeable. Salamanders, unlike mammals, can regenerate nerves, so Sperry cut through their optic nerves and rotated their eyeballs 180 degrees. When the nerve grew back, it was somehow "guided back" to its original termination sites, resulting in the salamanders' visual field being radically altered. While this work was pathbreaking, Sperry's most famous experiments involved work with the brain in which the corpus callosum, the thick network of nerves that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres, had been severed (resulting in a "split brain"). Sperry showed first that the hemispheres of split-brain cats learned tasks separately, and with equal facility, and were essentially independent cognitive organs. He then turned to humans, using patients whose corpora callosa had been severed as treatment for epilepsy (widely done at the time). Using these patients Sperry was able to demonstrate that the two hemispheres are functionally distinct: the left hemisphere is dominant in verbal and analytical tasks, while the right hemisphere is dominant in music and spatial tasks. The results of Sperry's and his colleagues' research led to the construction of a map of the brain and also to his sharing the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine in 1981.

I am new to BT5R3 OS and i just installed it into a VMware node just to find possible security issues of my private LAN.
I already knwo that when BT5 is running through a VM it can not access implicity the on-board wifi antena of my laptop and that's why i bought a usb-wifi adaptor which is the AWUS036H from ALFA Networks (Also i have to mention that my wifi router is the D-LINK DIR-615 ).
Now, before starting using the BT5 OS i first checked the status of the wifi-usb adapter by firslty using it through a Windows 7 OS. As i expected the usb-wifi adapter connected succesfully to my router and i pinged succesfuly the default gateway of my router(the known 192.168.0.1 url address ). Moreoever when i was inserting to my router's control panel - through my desktop - i could see my wifi's MAC address. So far so good.
Unfortunately the problems started when i tried the usb-wifi adaptor through the BT5 OS.
In simple words after i logged in i connected the wifi adaptor and then accessed the pre-installed drivers. I brought up the wifi' s interface and after scanning to find which APs are on the air, i tried to connect to mine AP - of my router - called "My Lab". Well here start the problems.
Even though i am succesfully connected to my AP (i checked that both on my router's control panel as on the BT5 OS), i wasn't able not only to ping my router in it's default gateway - 192.168.0.1 - but also i couldn't even connect to my router's control panel login page.
I have been seeking for an answer the last 5 days but i wasn't able to find as solution to my problem.
Thus i do please if anyone can help me solve this problem, please give me detailed instructions and guidance because - as i said above - i am new to the BT5 OS and i have a small knowledge generally of the UNIX systems.
Trying to help you understand better - if i can - the status of my BT5 when i connect my wifi-usb adapter i am giving you below the details of specific commands i executed.

FiLIP, a Wearable Locator and Voice Watch for Kids, Designed to Meet the Safety and Communication Needs of AT&T Customers
Dallas, Texas, October 07, 2013
AT&T* and Filip Technologies today announced they are bringing FiLIP, a wearable device for the wrist that keeps parents and kids in touch at the push of a button, to the U.S. market in the coming months. Under an agreement with Filip Technologies, AT&T is the exclusive network provider for FiLIP and will provide distribution and billing services for the product.
"FiLIP is exactly the type of device for which we formed the Emerging Devices team at AT&T. Filip Technologies is taking wearable device innovation in a new direction – going beyond the smart watch to solve a real problem for parents and make their lives easier," said Chris Penrose, senior vice president, Emerging Devices, AT&T Mobility.
FiLIP focuses only on the features that parents want – location, voice calling, and direct messaging to their child. The parent remains in control at all times through an app on their smartphone, including the designation of five trusted contacts with whom the child can communicate. FiLIP also allows parents to set Safe Zones, triggering a notification if the child enters or leaves a designated area, and features an intelligent emergency procedure to locate the child and put them in touch with family if needed. FiLIP was granted FCC certification in July.
"Our goal with FiLIP has been to create a product that empowers kids to explore their world while remaining in touch with those who care about them the most," said Jonathan Peachey, CEO of Filip Technologies. "With their extensive wireless coverage, commitment to innovation and excellent customer care, AT&T is the ideal carrier to help us bring FiLIP to the U.S. market."
Additional details on pricing and service plans will be available in the coming months.
