Student events put focus on battling cancer, AIDS
Relay For Life and Brandeis Cares strive to raise money and awareness
Brandeis' annual Relay For Life, the culmination of year-long efforts on the part of the Relay For Life Planning Committee and the Brandeis chapter of Colleges Against Cancer, will kick off at 5 p.m. Saturday in Gosman Sports and Convocation Center.
"The older we get as a generation, the more cancer affects us and becomes relevant in our lives. I want students to use Relay For Life to celebrate the survivors of this disease and to show unity against it," says Michelle Hack '12, president of the Brandeis chapter of College Against Cancer, who has been involved in the group's efforts since her freshman year. Colleges Against Cancer represents the American Cancer Society on campus and works towards three major goals: fundraising, advocacy and education.
Hack says during the 13 years she spent in her native South Africa she was exposed to numerous cancer-related tragedies. Her personal interest in the fight against cancer began when she tutored children suffering from the disease who had to miss school because of chemotherapy treatments.
"What we do on campus often is social advocacy for specific groups of people," Hack says, "but this is a cause which affects and can unite the entire community, regardless of racial and ethnic boundaries."
Relay For Life began as a symbolic event in global cancer awareness and fundraising, in 1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a surgeon in Tacoma, Wash., walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Now, almost four million people take part in Relay events in more than 5,000 communities across the United States.
At Brandeis Saturday, all participants will walk a first lap together around the track to honor cancer survivors. Then, each team in the competition will have a member on the track walking throughout the night. The event ends at 5 a.m. Sunday. Would-be participants can sign up on line.
"The motto of Relay For Life is that 'Cancer never sleeps, and neither should we', which is why we stay up all night," Hack explains.
Brandeis has been celebrating Relay For Life for five years. This year the relay planning committee decided to work with the themes of spirit and courage in an effort to infuse the celebrations with a feeling of hope.
Hannah Katcoff' '12, event chair of Relay For Life, explains that the CAC handles the logistical and financial aspects of the event, while the planning committee organizes the many parts of the event, which include will include talks by President Fred Lawrence, Student Union President Herbie Rosen'12 and a cancer survivor, followed by various activities and the Luminaria service, in which participants use glow sticks and electronic candles in a moving commemoration of people who have been lost to cancer. The service will feature a performance by the a capella group Starving Artists.
In another student-organized event to raise awareness and funds this week, Brandeis' undergraduate musical theater company Tympanium Euphorium has organized Brandeis Cares, a Broadway revue benefit concert that will donate its proceeds to Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS.
The concert will be held in Sherman Function Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday. MCs will be Brandeis Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment Andrew Flagel and Deirdre "Dr. Dre" Connelly. Tickets will be on sale for $3 in Usdan Student Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The event is produced and sponsored by the Brandeis Pluralism Alliance, the Undergraduate Departmental Representative Program and the Undergraduate Theater Collective.
Ellyn Getz '13, director of Brandeis Cares 2012, stresses that the event provides an opportunity for clubs and students not directly affiliated with the theater community to perform and get involved with the fundraiser. Students, faculty, alumni and members of the Waltham community may participate.
Getz has participated in Brandeis Cares since 2009, and felt a strong pull toward the cause of AIDS awareness when she played the role of Mimi Marquez, a character struggling with HIV, in Tympanium's 2011 production of "Rent." As she researched the character, Getz realized that the disease had far-reaching effects within the Brandeis community.
"I studied the communities and people that deal with the stigma of this illness, and spoke to students who have dealt with an AIDS-related loss. There are definitely people at Brandeis who have been deeply affected by this disease, so this is a poignant cause to advocate for within the community," Getz says.

When the body burns (metabolizes) fat, it creates substances called ketones. The ketogenic diet tries to force the body to use more fat for energy instead of sugar (glucose) by increasing fat and restricting carbohydrates. It is not yet clear how or why the ketogenic diet prevents or reduces seizures, but it has been shown to be effective in reducing epileptic seizures in some children.2
One version of the ketogenic diet provides 4 grams of fat for every 1 gram of protein and carbohydrate together. People on a ketogenic diet have to eat mostly fatty foods, such as butter, cream, and peanut butter. Foods such as bread, pasta, fruits, and vegetables have to be severely limited. And the person's total calories and fluids are also restricted. At every meal, the food has to be measured carefully so that the right amounts of each food are given. Even a slight departure from the diet can cancel its effect.
A person usually has to fast the day and night before starting the diet. The diet is gradually introduced over several days, so that the body can get used to the dramatic change. The person may feel tired and lack energy during the first few days.
Children are usually admitted to a hospital or epilepsy centre when starting the diet so that they can be monitored. The ketogenic diet should always be given under the supervision of a doctor and a dietitian.
The ketogenic diet may sometimes be used to treat children who have severe seizures and who have not responded to antiepileptic medicines. It has worked especially well in treating seizures related to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It may be a good choice for a child when other treatments have failed to control seizures.
Doctors are not sure why the ketogenic diet helps prevent seizures. But the diet has prevented epileptic seizures in many children who did not respond to treatment with antiepileptic medicines, including children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Another benefit of the ketogenic diet for some children is that it may reduce or end the need for medicine and thus avoid the side effects that result from medicine.
A review of the results from many studies of the ketogenic diet found that 4 out of 10 children on the ketogenic diet have one-half the number of seizures they had before being on the diet.2 Some children have an even greater reduction.
In one study, children on the ketogenic diet had about one-fourth as many seizures as kids who weren't on the diet. So a child who wasn't on the diet had 4 seizures for every 1 seizure that a child on the diet had.1
No one knows why the ketogenic diet prevents seizures in some children and not in others or why it has been more successful with children than with adults. If you have a child with uncontrolled epilepsy, you may wish to discuss with your child's doctor whether a ketogenic diet might be an option.
The ketogenic diet may cause side effects in some people. These are not usually serious but may include:
People on the ketogenic diet may develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies unless they take vitamin and mineral supplements. The diet does not supply adequate amounts of the vitamins and minerals the body needs.
Everyone on the diet needs close supervision by a doctor and a dietitian.
Despite the success of the ketogenic diet in some children, many doctors are sceptical of its use. It may pose other health risks to your child, and it is extremely hard to follow. Until more is known about how the ketogenic diet works and what its effects are, some doctors may not recommend using it. If you are thinking about having your child try the ketogenic diet, keep in mind that it has several drawbacks:

You might have noticed that I went on vacation if you've stopped by the site recently. I'm in Italy at the moment with some family, wrapping up a summer in Europe by making sure I have the requisite fat stores to make it through the winter. No need to extend your consolations and support – the hardship of constant gelato will only make me stronger in the end.
This edition of The Extra Attacker is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, and is intended more for entertainment than journalism.
Old NHL News and the Reaction You've Been Waiting for: Mine
Grabovski signs in Washington
As everyone and their dog knows, this guy is a very good NHL player who had one season where his coach threw him under a bus and he managed to be just okay. Somehow that earned him a buyout and a chance on a better team (you heard me, Leafs fans). Washington was long rumoured, and it just made too much sense to happen another way. Despite that, and even though Grabo denied rumours that Winnipeg was in the running, I was a little disappointed.
You might recall Travis's impassioned plea for Grabo to wear the Polar Night Blues. Grabovski's deal is just one year. You know who else has one year left? Olli Jokinen. Keep the hope alive, Travis.
Travis Yost is attacked from the Ukraine: Classic Strategy in Axis and Allies Comes to Life
If you haven't been following this, prepare yourself to be a little uncomfortable. It is totally, totally crazy. Head here for a solid recap and links. Yost was also on the Lowdown with Lowetide today – check him out here.
Travis, of course, writes over at NHL Numbers these days as well, and we wish him a speedy return to the internet.
The basic gist for the link-impaired is that Yost wrote a nine-part series over at HockeyBuzz on the Senator's inability to spend to the cap as related to the money troubles of the team's eccentric owner Eugene Melnyk. The series made some waves in the mainstream press in Ottawa before Yost was hacked – his work was deleted from HockeyBuzz and his twitter account was removed as well. In tracing the IP, Yost found that it was shared with a Ukrainian charity for which Melnyk is the Honourary Director. Not exactly evidence of nefarious wrong-doing, but it's spooky.
It's important that we maintain some skepticism, given just how unreasonable it would be to put effort and money into having a blogger erased from the web for doing journalism. It's a remarkably targeted attack, mind you, and we know Melnyk is game for a conspiracy. Fellow hockey conspiracy fans will remember that he paid "forensic doctors" (not a thing) to investigate the intentionality of Matt Cooke cutting Erik Karlsson's tendon. He said so in March, and then took back the forensic part but confirmed the investigation was on-going in early May, and I'm still laughing in August.
Putting aside this country's long tradition of rich people in Ottawa ignoring the law, we have to accept that it's hearsay and circumstantial and other Law and Order buzzwords. I don't want to lose track of being an evidence-based thinker out of fear. But let's just say that I'm considering toning down what I say about Claude Noel this season. (I'm kidding – there's no way he could keep an Eastern European on his side long enough to hack me.)
Luongo Considered Voiding his Contract
It's old news, and Canucks Army covered it well here. There has been a lot of talk of Luongo's competitive nature as evidence for his ability to overcome the now-completed mess. There's no doubt he will continue to be an excellent netminder, as he has his entire career. I think that's skirting the issue.
Why he wanted out, why the team considered moving him, was because the fans turned on him. He was exceptional in their run to the Stanley Cup, but a poor series against Chicago a year earlier put him on the wrong side of the 'clutch' narrative. He was booed.
Living in Vancouver, I watched fans sheepishly back down from that opinion as twitter helped him show his personality, but we're all left to wonder if it will happen again. The team has lost considerable forward depth since their run to the Stanley Cup Finals, and their division got a little harder this year. Will Luongo be blamed if his numbers are a little lower than normal and the team places below their usual top-3? What if Henrik is hurt and the team misses the playoffs? Do fans call for Schneider then?
Voiding his contract would have been wildly unpopular with the NHLPA, who at one point were preparing to defend guaranteed contracts before the lockout. But the fact that we can't deny the franchise's best ever goalie may be bought out a year from now means this mess is far from over. In fact, the stakes got higher – practically writing the narrative for Luongo's struggles before they've even happened.
More Seinfeld! Less Boring!
If Scheifele wins the Calder, I hope someone has this conversation.

He's having very irregular bowel movements and is also constipated. Im thinking there might be an emotional aspect involved, meaning poops are scary for him. Ever since he started solids he's had constipation issues...some painful ones early on.
I've tried so many things. I don't know what else to try. He eats and likes almost every veggie and fruit I offer. Right now prunes, peaches and oatmeal are part of his daily diet. (I vary with other things like pears..and the other P's). This helps a lil bit...but every other time he goes, he's having to push. I've also just started adding a little bit of ground flax seed to some of his homemade puréed foods.
So I'm wondering if he's not drinking enough water??
BTW, he still nurses A LOT. Like every 2 hours...sometimes every hour or so.
Thx so much!

There's this one other thing about the Jolla phone that sets it apart from the competition. In marketing terms, it's called The Other Half, the backside of the phone, which can be replaced and is 3D-printable. While the two The Other Halfs shipping with the first wave of pre-order customers have tiny RFID chips in them for communication (it instructs the phone to download a matching background and sounds), the Jolla phone also has a set of electrical contacts on the back of the exposed device - I2C.
This is one of the wildcard when it comes to Jolla - there's lots of possibilities here, such as a backplate with an additional battery, or even one with an integrated sliding keyboard. One of Jolla's engineers already added wireless charging to his backplate using I2C, to illustrate what it possible.
I'm really curious what other people are going to come up with - if at all. Right now there's probably little commercial interest to create products for The Other Half, but if Jolla manages to pick up enough steam, we might see some really cool stuff coming out of this.

CommonSpot initially locks objects imported into a site, to:
CommonSpot identifies the source object through the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) created when an object is first exported. This GUID uniquely identifies the object across all servers. When an object is imported, CommonSpot checks the object's GUID (and the GUIDs of any other contained exported objects). If a locked object with the same GUID exists on the target (import) server, the object is imported into the object with the same GUID, irrespective of the object's name. If an object with the same GUID is not found, a new object is created. If the new object has the same name as the object being imported, CommonSpot automatically assigns a new name formatted as [orginalname]_imported_[timestamp].
Locked objects display with a padlock icon. Note that you cannot export or modify locked objects. See What You Can and Cannot Export Import.

A north Derbyshire businessman, whose grandson was born with a serious skin condition, is cycling the Tour de France's toughest Alps for a charity close to his heart.
Geoff Noake, of Eckington-based AdPlace Marketing, will reach new heights in June when he takes on nearly 500km of iconic mountain climbs featured in the Tour over six days.
The challenge marks his 60th birthday and he hopes to raise about £500 for children's skin complaint charity Caring Matters Now.
He will start in Cuneo, Italy, before climbing the Col de la Lombarde, Col du Galibier and will finish on Alpe d'Huez.
Geoff said: "Riding Alpe d'Huez is like someone who loves football playing at Wembley."
Geoff's grandson Max, aged two, was born with a Congenital Melanocytic Naevus on his head. Those wishing to donate can visit www.justgiving.co.uk/Geoff-Noake and can find out more about CMN at www.caringmattersnow.co.uk.

The filling of wetlands without a permit, which occurred during the expansion of a private airstrip and the development of a rock quarry, is a violation of the federal Clean Water Act and other federal requirements designed to protect wetlands.
This is the second violation of wetlands protections in the federal Clean Water Act by the Greenhills. In 1997, the Greenhills constructed a trout pond on the property, altering approximately 0.4 of an acre without first seeking a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, as required by the federal Clean Water Act. The Greenhills also did not apply for the necessary permit for the more recent violation. The recent work included the clearing, grubbing, grading, and filling of several segments of forested evergreen and deciduous wetlands – totaling 1.5 acres – on the site.
"Especially where violators are on notice of the requirements of the law, penalties for wetland violations are warranted," said Robert W. Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "If it had been followed, the permit application process would have ensured that the impacts of these activities would have been avoided or minimized. All landowners -- whether real estate developers or the owners of a vacation retreat – are required to follow appropriate steps before altering wetlands, to ensure that these valuable areas are protected."
Under related Administrative Orders issued in January 2006 and August 2008, the Greenhills are required to restore approximately one acre of the filled wetlands, and to conduct compensatory mitigation by creating wetlands at another half acre. This restoration work is expected to be completed by the end of 2008.
Undisturbed wetlands provide many environmental benefits, including wildlife habitat, groundwater discharge and recharge areas, sediment and toxin removal and flood water storage. The wetlands filled were part of larger forested complexes and directly abutted two unnamed tributaries which flow to Moosehead Lake.

The OP clearly states he comes from a MTB back ground eg lots of low gears and you are suggesting he should go for pro peleton gearing right from the word go!
Seems a bit extreme to me
Just saying that the cassette shouldn't ever be an issue when buying a new bike. Just tell the LBS to replace the cassette to your preference (if you have one).

Thyroid hormones are made by the
thyroid gland. The thyroid gland makes and releases
two thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid
hormones affect every cell and all the organs of the body. Too much thyroid hormone speeds things up and too little thyroid hormone slows things down. They:
The pituitary gland and the thyroid gland work together. The
pituitary gland (located near the base of the brain) makes, stores,
and releases thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). When TSH is secreted by the
pituitary gland, it causes the thyroid gland to release more T3 and T4. A high TSH level means there isn't enough thyroid hormone, and a low TSH level means there is too much.

UB Re-Opens Dorms After Carbon Monoxide Scare | News
AMHERST, NY - University at Buffalo officials are installing carbon monoxide detector systems campus-wide in the wake of a CO scare Sunday night on the UB North Campus.
According to a university spokesperson, five students became ill with symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide exposure. Two of the them were driven to Millard Suburban Hospital, two others were taken by ambulance, and a fifth was treated by paramedics at the scene.
The carbon monoxide leak occurred at the Richmond Quad Housing area. The university spokesperson said the first report of any trouble happened at 8:30pm. More than 500 students were evacuated.
Fire crews from Getzville identified a boiler as the source of the carbon monoxide. They were able to stop the leak and ventilate the building. crews from National Fuel also checked the building to ensure it was safe.
The university re-opened the dorms at 11:15pm. The university had no information on the condition of the students who became sick. However, the spokesperson said none of them lost consciousness.
University officials tell 2 On Your Side that hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors were not in the dormitories because they are not mandated by law. They do have several plug-in units near possible CO sources, such as boilers and laundry rooms.
Joseph Brennan, UB's Associate Vice President for University Communications, says that this incident is a call to action and they will begin installing integrated, hard-wired smoke, heat and CO detectors in all dormitory buildings in the next few weeks.

Getting Folks to Jamboree
I am the outgoing President of a decent-sized genealogy society (slightly over 100 members) as well as the Director of a Southern California Family History Center. With all the people interested in family history, with whom I am in contact, all living less than 100 miles from the location of the annual SCGS JAMBOREE, you would think that we (genealogists in Corona) would have a decent representation at the event. Well, last year I was the only one from our area who attended and the previous year we had three or four besides me. Numbers weren't much different for previous years. It was my lack of promoting the event, you might be thinking . . . but at the society I mentioned it every month beginning in January through the meeting in May, promoted it on our website, and wrote about it in our newsletter and in our meeting "programs" that we give out to all attendees, including non-members. For both organizations, I sent email reminders about it. I had posters about it in the Family History Center. What am I doing wrong? This has been puzzling me for a number of months and I think that this year I will take a different direction in the promotion.
Too often we tell people things like "this is the greatest genealogy event this side of the Rockies," or "there are lots of well-known speakers who will be teaching on all sorts of family history topics," or "there are some free events for those not registered for the conference," and even "there are lots of door prizes." But these are all very vague. Instead of being general, we may have a better response if we are familiar with what is happening and then focus on the things that will be of interest. I may not jump to hear "lots of well-known speakers," but, since my area of research is German records, if I am told that there is a speaker (Leland Meitzler) who will be talking about using the Internet to find Germanic ancestors, I am much more inclined to attend for that, if nothing else.
For those reading this who want your friends join you at the event, go over the schedule and see what specific lectures may be of interest to those people. And, if you are like me and have a lot of friends who are interested in genealogy but are not certain that their knowledge level warrants attending such a big conference, remind them about the many opportunities for beginners to get help. Besides classes in beginning genealogy topics, there is the Research Assistance room where those who are in need of a consultation to get over a stubborn wall can receive such help for free (though the participant must be registered for the conference, there is no additional fee for this service). Getting one-on-one help from an expert is rare, so this may be just the thing your friend (or you) is/are looking for.
Detailed information on Research Assistance – signing up, volunteering to be a consultant, possible help topics, and more – will be forthcoming. Keep an eye on the Jamboree Blog and the website.
And KUDOS to all the non-local societies (San Diego County, the High Desert, and other areas) where you organize caravans or buses to bring a full contingent of genealogical addicts to a weekend of information and fun!

Great post Jean. Locally, I hear three comments about out-of-town conferences: cost and that the availability of local programs and free webinars is just as good. Root Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society generally has about 6 members attend Jamboree and we're 400 miles north. C'mon Corona, I'll see you there!

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 & Turbo Module Review
Games these days are more demanding on a video card than ever before. So demanding that it isn't uncommon for a game to crash because the video card is too hot. A common solution to this problem is to open up the case and set a fan point-blank on the video card and turn the fan on its highest setting. What if there was a more practical, inexpensive, and quieter solution to this issue? Let's look at the new Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 to see if this is the solution to the common problem of video card overheating. We'll also be taking a look at the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module to see if the product gives the user an advantage while pairing it with the Accelero S1. These products are sold separately, but are designed to be paired with one another.
"ARCTIC COOLING is a leader in creating thermal cooling solution for personal computer systems that enable CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) and PC-case cooling while reducing the noise level. Increased heat generated by modern computer systems has overwhelmed most existing CPU cooler manufacturers in their efforts to keep pace with the demands in terms of cooling."
Closer Look:
The package that holds the Accelero S1 is quite revealing since you can see nearly the whole product front and back. When you flip the package over, you'll see just where the GPU is going to make contact with the Accelero S1.
The Turbo Module is packaged nearly the same as the Accelero – revealing the product openly. You really get the idea, just by looking at the packaging, that this product is made for the Accelero.
Let's open up both of these products and take a closer look at each of them.

Tenebre (US - DVD R1)
Gabe is in the market for new wall paint, and Argento offers some expert advice...
American author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) has come to Italy on a press tour for his latest thriller, 'Tenebre', a tale of bloody murder concerning a killer's obsession with traditional Christian morality. Just before Neal's arrival there has been a brutal murder, and the victim's mouth has been found stuffed with pages from the titular novel. Neal and his assistant Ann (Daria Nicolodi) join Italian Detective Giermani (Giuliano Gemma) in investigating the increasingly violent crimes, seemingly made in homage to Neal's popular novel.
Tenebre (also known as Tenebrae and Unsane) is likely one of director Dario Argento's most accessible features, though its look and sound is possible the most unfortunately dated in his repertoire. After five years, and two supernaturally tinged features, Tenebre marked Argento's return to his Giallo roots. Considering the utter abstractness of Suspiria and Inferno (not to mention his next film, Phenomena) Tenebre has a surprisingly dense plot. For non-fans it's not the worst place to start, though I'd recommend Deep Red or Bird with the Crystal Plumage.
However par for the course it may seem to the uninitiated, Tenebre is actually one of Argento's more fascinating features, and has remained a fan favourite for years. The curiosities begin with the autobiographical nature of the narrative. Argento had actually been stalked and physically threatened by a fan whilst selling Inferno in America, and took the experience as inspiration. For the most part this would be the last time any of the director's films would take on such a personal angle.
Argento then injects the film with more overt sexuality than any previous film (the sexual politics of Suspiria and Inferno were almost childlike in nature), which is an especially interesting choice, likely based in the then recent increase in 'sex as a sin' slashers during the early '80s. Bird and Deep Red had homosexual characters, and the black gloved crimes were sort of sexually motivated, but rarely had Argento revelled in the sweaty titillation of sex to this degree. In the '70s Argento approached sex in a wholly Italian fashion, worshiping the female form while keeping it slyly covered, with Tenebre he opens the door to a whole world of flesh and sexual focus in the films that followed the fairy tale like Phenomena, including the sexually motivated crimes of Opera, the underage relationships of Trauma, the repeated rapes of Stendhal Syndrome, and the positively dripping sexuality of Argento's two Masters of Horror entrees.
The surface level appeal extends to the film's extraordinary photography and lighting. Argento and cinematographer extraordinaire Luciano Tovoli took their cues from popular American television in creating their bright neon environments. Argento stated in interviews that he saw Tenebre as an anti-noir thriller, effectively ensuring that almost the entire film takes place under bright, artificial light, where both victims and killers have no shadows in which to hide. Argento even uses white outs instead of fades to black to represent flashbacks and dream sequences. The not so subtle irony is, of course, the word 'tenebre' translates as darkness or shadows.
Most intriguing are not the bawdy, bright and bloody visuals, but the would-be stopping point the film represented in Argento's canon. Though fans now know Argento would be unable to grow beyond his Giallo roots, Tenebre looked at the time like the director's last word on the subject. Besides the anti-noir lighting, which pushed the Mario Bava inspired images to their limit, Argento pushed the violence to a level not usually familiar to the subgenre (save Fulci's New York Ripper of course), and his plot breaks some of the subgenre's cardinal rules. I can't really go into the specific narrative reason Tenebre is the Giallo to end all Gialli without spoiling it for those that haven't seen it, but fans should know specifically what I'm talking about.
Tenebre isn't Argento's masterpiece, and it produces its fare share of awkward dialogue and acting. Argento claims in interviews that the film is meant to take place in the 'near future' when the world's population has been cut down to size by some unnamed plague, but there's really nothing to tell us this story visually, the film just looks like it takes place in early '80s Berlin. The thought of Argento actually attempting a Sci-Fi Giallo is a tantalizing one, but this isn't it.
Tenebre was the first Argento film since Cat O' Nine Tails that was released censored on US home video. Though Deep Red had been shorn of about twenty minutes, none of the editing was made for reasons of censoring violence or sex. Tenebre is also one of only two Argento films that were banned in the UK during the video nasties phenomenon (the other was Inferno, which escaped uncut in the States with a simple R-rating). This forbidden nature obviously creates inflamed interest in the fan community, and Anchor Bay's initial DVD and widescreen VHS release was cause for celebration. The one image that was most obviously missing from the old VHS release (under the title Unsane) was that of Veronica Lario's arm stump literally painting the white walls red with blood, which is possibly the most striking image in Argento's career. This release is the same cut as that original AB release, and is still missing a few fleeting glimpses of the killer wondering around his or her abode.
This release marks the first anamorphic release of Tenebre in North America. I had prepared some comparison screen caps for this review, but in the DVDActive format it's more or less impossible to tell the difference between the two transfers. This is because Anchor Bay hasn't really done anything to the transfer besides anamorpically enhancing it. Argento's bright compositions often bloom, and are consistently plagued with thick grain. Red, the film's sort of 'theme colour' bleeds a bit, though most other hues are pretty well represented and separated. Edge enhancement is another side effect of the film's overall brightness. Tenebre is one Argento feature that could really benefit from a Blu-ray upgrade, because Argento intended it to carry a strange cleanliness, but based on the DVD transfers available I'm afraid that the material may not be there.
Wah oo oo wah, wah oo oo wah, wah oo oo wah, wah oo oo wah…
I was thrilled to find out that French electro group Justice had sampled Goblin's classic main theme for not one, but two songs on their latest album. I've got to acknowledge that this isn't the group's best score, but it's a memorable main theme. This new DVD release features the exact same 5.1 remix as the original Anchor Bay release, right down to the unnecessary echo and strange vocal performances. Tenebre wasn't one of Argento's best dubbed features, and the inconsistent volume and production of the voices here doesn't really help things. Some of the surround effects, however, are very impressive when considering the source material. The base of the track is centred, but effects like airplanes flying overhead and cars zipping past the characters on the street are effectively mixed. The rear channel echo on the score is really the tracks obvious failure.
The Mono Italian track is also included, which is actually not the ideal way to view this particular film, in my opinion. Most of the major actors are speaking English and dubbing their own voices. The only real loss is Daria Nicolodi's deep purr, which is replaced by a slightly mousy English speaking voice. The Italian track is a bit flat, and actually missing a few of the 5.1 track's more lively background effects.
Like the Phenomena re-release that joins it, this Tenebre release is mostly useful for its anamorphic enhancement. Most of these extras were already available on the original release. Included here is a commentary track with Argento, composer Claudio Simonetti, and moderator Loris Curei. Coupled with the Phenomena commentary, this is the reason Argento doesn't do commentaries any more. He's very uncomfortable with the entire process, but he's especially uncomfortable speaking English for long periods. Simonetti's English is good, and he's actually full of factoids beyond just the scoring process, and Curei does his best to pry information out of the increasingly quiet Argento. Not the best commentary track, but a rarity now that he doesn't do them anymore.
We are treated to a brand new retrospective featurette called 'Voices of the Unsane', which features interviews with Argento, Simonetti, DP Luciano Tovoli, assistant director (and son of Mario) Lamberto Bava, Daria Nicolodi, and transgender actress Eva Robbins. As an obsessive fan with three Argento specific books in my library most of this info was old to me, but I did learn that Tenebre was partially born out of Italian fans' disappointment with Suspiria and Inferno, which did better in other countries. According to Nicolodi at least, who has made flat out false statements on previous interviews and featurettes. Argento himself goes off on a few stereotypical tangents, but mostly keeps his focus on the film and his displeasure with censorship, which seems to have waned in its fervour as the maestro has aged. The featurette runs about seventeen minutes.
The next featurette 'The Roving Camera of Dario Argento' is an excerpt from the same documentary the Phenomena disc took its behind the scenes footage. The original documentary is actually available in its entirety on the now out of print German release of Tenebre under the title Unsane. This section concerns the film's highly respected luma crane shot that wraps around an entire apartment complex to revel the killer sneaking in the back window. It only lasts five minutes, but has been altered to be anamorphically enhanced. Another two minute excerpt from the longer documentary is also included, called 'Creating the Sounds of Terror', which specifically concerns the film's Foley effects.
The disc is completed with the alternate end credit music that was mistakenly mixed into the soundtrack before release (a strange pop song that Argento and Simonetti strongly disapprove of on the commentary track), the original English trailer, and an Argento bio.
I'm still more partial to Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Deep Red, but Tenebre has earned its rightful place in Argento's oeuvre, and stands as one of the maestro's more pronounced efforts. This release marks the first US anamorphic enhancement of the feature, though one has to wonder why Anchor Bay isn't pumping these features out on Blu-ray yet. The price is right, however, and if you're a collector (like me) the collection will always have an open spot.

I'm definitely picking this up. Dario Argento is a horror god to me. He is right up there with Herschell Gordon Lewis, Ruggero Deodato, John Carpenter, and Takashi Miike. Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Suspiria, and this are all great Italian horror. They're great horror period.

New play by Nicky Silver at the Vineyard
By Davida Singer
Steven Pasquale as Isaac, left and Penny Fuller as Nan in Beautiful Child at the Vineyard Theatre
In his twenty-three years of writing plays like Pterodactyls, Raised in Captivity, Eros Trilogy and The Altruists, Nicky Silver has won or been nominated for many awards - from Drama Desk to the Oppenheimer.
Although the Oppenheimer is a very prestigious one, its so ugly I keep it in a closet, he quips.
Known for his arch wit, Silver also walks the dark side, and his new drama, Beautiful Child, starring George Grizzard and Penny Fuller, involves a troubled teacher returning home to a family who struggle to accept and love him again.
The playwright, a self-described terrible shut-in on the Upper Westside, wont say more about the plot, but hes got lots of other up-close-and-personal material to share.
Davida Singer: How did you get into playwriting?
Nicky Silver: I actually didnt think Id be a writer, I thought I would pop out of cakes. No, I thought of acting until I really started writing in college, at NYU. The Experimental Wing gave me a whole collection of things to work with. My writing style differs from play to play, but I tend to work in two veins. Farces alternating with plays that embrace serious subjects. This one is relatively dark, but not compared to a coalmine. Its also very funny.
DS: Would you call your plays gay?
NS: Im not usually described as a gay playwright, but gay people are a part of my landscape. When I started, I decided I didnt want to be marketed that way, and in 2004 I think we dont need that distinction. Its just not all that interesting to me now. In this work, sexual orientation is a given among the characters.
DS: Its almost a given that your plays will go up at the Vineyard.
NS: Its been a long relationship - since 1983 - much to their chagrin. After college, I did plays at the Meisner Theater for a while. Then I sent out Pterodactyls to the Vineyard, and they werent afraid of doing it. I think of the Vineyard as my home. I sent this play to Doug Abel as a friend, and he wanted to do it. The kind of plays I write are frightening to put up because theyre so personal, but Im very comfortable there. Theres even a place I can smoke and no one knows.
For Beautiful Child, I wanted to work with a new director, and Doug gave me a list. I dont know a lot of names, but I liked Terry Kinneys work and ten minutes into a meeting with him I wanted him to do it. We see the play similarly, but were very different people, so he brings a whole other perspective.
DS: Whats the concept behind Beautiful Child?
NS: It really explores a question Ive done before. How do people love someone who functions outside of their moral sphere. I dont write plays that have answers, so I never know, but sometimes I find one. Here? I think I found a possible answer. It suggests the ruthlessness of our need to connect to people.
DS: Whats behind your need to write plays?
NS: I go into it because I like putting plays on. I like going to rehearsal, I like the process and community. But the degree to which I pipe up varies. Sometimes I actually stay away. And I was more daunted than usual by this cast. It was my first time working with all of them - scary, but a lot of fun - though none of the actors would sleep with me.
DS: Can you drop a final hint about what well see and what youd like us to see in Beautiful Child?
NS: The set itself is a living room and it does some tricks. At certain points, theres furniture that floats in black, hopefully. But it is the Vineyard after all, not the Minskoff! Id like people even for a second to question their preconceived notions of right and wrong, and how they deal with them in this country. And then Id like them to feel an all-consuming awe of me.

But Tuesday night at Hawkins Field the pulled within one run of the Vanderbilt Commodores at 5-4 in the sixth inning, but lost 10-4 to the Southeastern Conference foe.
"The one focus we had coming into this game was that we wanted to compete," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "I feel like we did compete. We felt like we were in the game. We fought and competed.
"We haven't gotten everything to click. We did Friday against Belmont. Now we are chasing that game again. We have to get the momentum turned."
The Bisons played their fifth straight road game Wednesday at 6 p.m. when they travel to Clarksville to play Austin Peay. Left-hander Chris Nunn, 0-1, 23.32 earned run average, will start for the Bisons. It will be his third start and fifth appearance.
Austin Peay lost to Indiana State 6-5 Wednesday. Austin Peay, an Ohio Valley Conference team, is 10-9.
The Bisons had seven hits, with no batter getting more than one. M.L. Williams did not get a hit in five at bats, ending his team-high hitting streak at 11 games.
Vanderbilt jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. They added two in the third and two in the sixth.
The Bisons scored one run in the fourth when Lee Wilson's double drove home Zach Messer who had reached base on a single. Both hits were after the Bisons had made two outs.
The Bisons struck for three more runs in the sixth to pull within one run of Vanderbilt at 5-4. All three runs were the result of doubles. Ryan Wilkins drove in one run with a double and Shawn Mehring drove in two runs with a double when he entered the game as a pinch-hitter.
However, the Commodores were not through offensively. They scored two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings and one in the eighth.
"We let them in the door a little bit," Forehand said. "They had a couple of hits that dropped in front of us in right field. So we pulled in and the ball shoots over our head.
"When things aren't going good for you then you don't get that break. They were really working the right side. They got several hits through the four-hole and a couple of those blooped in. "
Forehand is waiting for the luck of the Bisons to change.
"Vanderbilt had 13 hits and some of them just fell in where we weren't," Forehand said. "Getting hits in those situations is a sign of a good team. Right now, our good fortune has not come yet. Hopefully, it is just around the corner."
Right-hander Chad Fromm, the closer for the Bisons, made his first start of the season. He struggled to throw strikes. He was limited to 50 pitches, but he threw 53, 30 for strikes. He gave up one hit and one run, but walked two batters and hit two more. He struck out three.
"Chad still has to get in the zone more," Forehand said. "He has to get more competitive in the zone earlier in the count and get ahead of pitchers a little bit more. He will. He is a good pitcher. We expect him to do that."
Left-hander Alex Ross pitched 1.1 innings in relief. He allowed two hits and four runs, three earned. He walked three and struck out two. Righty Matt Bowling spent the longest time on the mound. In three innings he scattered six hits and allowed four runs, all earned. He struck out two and did not walk a batter. Right-hander Mike Grace closed out the game. In 1.2 innings he gave up one hit and one run. He also walked one batter.
"I thought Alex did a good job," Forehand said. "I was really proud of Matt Bowling. He came in and was throwing hard. He was competing in the strike zone."
The Bisons are back home this weekend for a three-game Atlantic Sun series with East Tennessee State.

I'm a solid 3.5/4.o in Alpharetta.
Hello PJ, you are close to me, I'm in Johns Creek. Let me know if you would like to hit sometime, looks like you are about the same skill level, as well.

The Bowe Theatre at Hood River Valley High School is the scene — er, scenes — of some corny intrigue and wacky hijinks during the next two weeks as the HRV Performing Arts Department's annual play takes the stage.
Drama teacher Rachel Krummel directs a cast of ten in the comedy "Bullshot Crummond," which runs Friday, Saturday and March 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m.
"Bullshot Crummond" is a spoof on the old detective movies of the 1920s and '30s — specifically the "Bulldog Drummond" films, which spanned from the silent movie era through the 1940s and chronicled the exploits of adventure-seeking gentleman-spy Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond.
"Bullshot" has its own gentleman-spy in the form of Hugh "Bullshot" Crummond, played by HRV junior Hans Severinsen.
The two-act play follows the bumbling Crummond who, with the help of his high-brow English pal Algy (played by junior Jerrad Barclay) tries to thwart the dastardly plans of villainous German spies Otto and Lenya von Brunno (senior Rudy Schuepbach and junior Ashly Will).
The play opens with the German duo (are they husband and wife? father and daughter? lovers?) parachuting into England, where they've come to kidnap Professor Rupert Fenton (played by freshman Bob Wood) who has invented a formula for producing synthetic diamonds.
The professor's fetching daughter, Rosemary (played by sophomore Laila Winner), writes Crummond to tell him of her father's plight and plead for help. Without further ado, Crummond is on the case.
The next two hours are a roller-coaster ride of car chases, car wrecks, sword fights, tarantula fights, avalanches, corny love scenes and hilarious exchanges between characters in a series of scenes made funnier by the fact that they're only loosely connected with one another.
The script is funny to begin with, and Krummel and her cast take it even further with a few of their own touches.
"I threw in a Fred Astaire dance number just because I thought it'd be fun," Krummel said. Another element Krummel added was with the character of Lenya von Brunno.
"I thought, what if every time she came on stage she was wearing a different outfit?" Krummel said. From the opening scene — when Lenya strips off her flying suit to reveal a black evening dress, spike heels and feather boa — Will struts onstage for each scene in a different and comically elegant outfit, complemented always by her cigarette holder and evil laugh.
Krummel has been working hard the last few weeks to incorporate an element new to HRV productions: sound effects.
"It's taken all my time," she said. But the resulting 30 sound cues per act are well worth it. From airplane and car engines to appropriately timed suspense sounds to dramatic 1930s-era music, the sound effects add much to the humor — and corniness — of the production.
The cast of ten is small. Some of the actors play more than one part, including a brilliant scene where Schuepbach plays von Brunno and a hired hitman simultaneously by passing back and forth behind a screen.
"It fleshes out the cast more when you have more kids," Krummel said. "But I wanted to give a few of the kids experience in playing more than one character."
Severinsen is a veteran of both HRV and CAST productions — in many of which he's played the lead — but he seems to be made for the role of Crummond. His facial expressions and line delivery, complete with crummy English accent, play to a tee the bumbling "Bullshot," who's always one step behind his German arch enemies.
Winner is equally adept as Laila, and one of her character traits (you'll know it when you hear it) is worth the price of admission.
The cast is rounded out by junior Stan Murray who plays three characters, including a half-wit henchman to the von Brunnos; senior Russell Marquez who plays two characters, including a Scotland Yard policeman; senior Sarah Fix, the production's stage manager who doubles as Lenya's falcon, Fritz; and stage hand Dylan Brady, a senior.
Krummel and her cast have been working hard since mid-winter to bring the play to life.
"Comedy is the hardest thing to do," Krummel said. "In any comedy, they give you the lines and you have to find the humor." She said kids often "don't see the humor in the lines" at first, so it takes more work to bring the spoof off.
"But once you get them started, then it becomes synergistic," she said. Krummel credits her talented cast with pulling off a difficult production.
"These are the most amazing kids," she said. "I have talent coming out my ears."

Stars set for potential tight battle with Bluesby Brian Hunter
BLUES (3-1-0) at STARS (2-1-1)
Season series: First of three meetings. Dallas won the opening matchup on the 2011-12 slate, but St. Louis took the next three. Blues forward Chris Stewart scored three goals, the only player in the series on other side to have more than one.
Big story: Two of the NHL's better defensive teams in the early-going square off. The Blues were tied for the League's best goal differential (plus-9) entering Friday night's action. The Stars have opened the season by playing four consecutive one-goal games, and taken five of a possible eight points.
Team Scope:
Blues: The defending Central Division champions are currently chasing a red-hot rival in Chicago, but the returns from the season's first week suggest St. Louis will be competing not only for the division title, but the Western Conference crown and Presidents' Trophy once again. The Blues displayed all the elements of their well-rounded game in a 3-0 win Thursday over the Predators. T.J. Oshie scored on a power play, Patrik Berglund on a penalty shot, and rookie Vladimir Tarasenko continued his torrid pace with another goal. The defense was also sound in front of Jaroslav Halak, who needed to make just 13 saves for his second shutout already this season and the 24th of his career.
"Tonight we were trying to get a bounce-back game after a tough loss against Chicago (3-2 on Tuesday)," Oshie said. "Guys are just playing well, goaltending's great obviously. Everyone's just been good at home."
Stars: The big news in Dallas on Thursday came prior to the game, when restricted free agent Jamie Benn signed a new five-year contract. Benn probably won't be ready to play until Monday in Columbus, but his return comes at a good time for the Stars, who scored four goals in their season opener and just four more in the three games since. They led the Blackhawks 2-0 on Thursday thanks to a shorthanded tally by Loui Eriksson and a goal by Ray Whitney, but would eventually drop a 3-2 overtime decision despite 38 saves from Kari Lehtonen.
"The only reason we got a point was because of him," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "Got outplayed all night but our goalie was real good."
Who's hot: Halak has the early League lead in shutouts, while Tarasenko's four goals and Kevin Shattenkirk's five assists also place them among the game's best. … Cody Eakin, acquired by the Stars in the Mike Ribeiro trade, has three assists in the last two games since being placed on a line with Whitney and Michael Ryder.
Injury report: Dallas forward Jaromir Jagr and defenseman Aaron Rome are battling lower-body injuries and their statuses are day-to-day.

- The employee areas of the apartment building seem the best place to investigate first. You head down the corridor, finding a kitchen and a washroom – you decide to check out the washroom. Inside, you find a locker room with doors leading to male and female shower facilities.
- Checking the lockers, you find some cleaner's overalls. As you don your new-found disguise, a man exits the showers – he's not happy that you're stealing his uniform, and attacks you. Taking a few hits, you manage to subdue him, hiding his unconscious form in a toilet cubical.
- Exiting the washroom, you bump into another cleaner. Maintaining your cool, you chat with the man, moving on as soon as possible. Grabbing a cleaner's trolley and mop, you head out into the plush corridor.
- Entering the lift, you decide to check floor number three – hopefully you'll find Coates' apartment (number 34) on that floor. Checking the numbers on the doors, you work out that you actually need to go to floor six. Sticking with your cleaner disguise, you push your trolley back to the lift.
- You meet a female employee as you arrive on floor six, but she is fooled by your disguise. Finding Martin Coates' apartment, you knock on the door – no answer, so you pick the lock.
- Once inside the apartment, you find Coates dead on the floor. He's been stabbed in the back of the head, the murder weapon being the gold pen you picked up earlier and left at Dr Obadiah's lab. Someone is trying to frame you.
- You jam the door shut and search Coates' body, finding some cash and his air-car key fob. You try to remove the incriminating pen, but it won't budge from the dead man's skull. Thuds resound on the apartment door – the security have been alerted. In a moment of inspiration, you activate the emergency summon function on Coates' air-car – a possible escape route.
- The air-car hovers into view, floating obediently next to the building. Using your gun and a nearby chair, you shatter the window just as the security guards crash through the door. Jumping out into the night sky, you almost miss the car, grasping hold with your fingertips. You struggle onboard and consider your next course of action – dump the car and make a run for it on foot, or use the vehicle to put some distance between you and the crime scene?
