Competitive sports
Competitive sport shouldn't be at odds with non-physical or non-competitive activities according to our CIXen, but how do we make allowances for the smaller in the class who don't match up to the physical stature of their classmates? The debate covered the idea of 'minor' sports, as well as the problem of bullying. Should PE be streamed like Maths is? Should variety of one-on-one sports or even tai chi be introduced to cater for a more diverse range of students than football or athletics does?

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue host Jack Dee threatened to quit this week after complaints about innuendo on the show. Dee maintained that innuendo was a common part of the show and if he was told to rein it in he wouldn't stay with the show. CIXen agreed that the great thing about innuendo is it only means something to the already corrupted. But then perhaps any outrage is simply a nice bit of coverage before the new series starts.

Books bound by… what?
A recent discovery of a book bound in human skin at Harvard University is not as uncommon a tale as you would think. Covering books in human skin, known as anthropodermic bibliopegy, was common practice in the 19th Century and in the UK, Bristol records hold a book covered in the skin of John Horwood, hanged for the murder of Eliza Balsum. The cover of the book was
embossed with a skull and crossbones, with the words "Cutis Vera Johannis Horwood", meaning "the actual skin of John Horwood", added in gilt letters.

"That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed, "What's the bad news?".
With concern, the gallery owner replied, "The guy was your doctor."

The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

Russ Pennell, fondly remembered at Arizona for leading the Wildcats to the Sweet 16 after coach Lute Olson retired before the 2008-09 season, is moving back to Division I.
Pennell is in his fourth year as the head coach at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, and the Antelopes will be joining a reconfigured WAC for the 2013-14 season, the league announced Tuesday.
Grand Canyon is a currently a Division II program.
"The big thing is it's going to be an incredible challenge that we look forward to and we embrace," Pennell told the Arizona Republic, our Gannett partner.
"For my staff and I, we didn't wake up this morning and go, 'Oh, my gosh, we're going Division I.' We've been working on this for three years, laying the foundation. Now that it's here, we can take the next step. But it's definitely a crowning day."
With Grand Canyon becoming a Division I basketball program, perhaps we'll see the Antelopes eventually be a regular on Arizona's schedule, as is NAU. The Lumberjacks play at UA on Wednesday night.
Conference realignment has shredded the WAC, which is disbanding for football after this season but continuing in other sports. The WAC turned to Grand Canyon when it needed a quick replacement for new member Denver, which announced it was leaving for the Summit League.
The Antelopes will join Cal State-Bakersfield, Idaho, New Mexico State, Seattle and Utah Valley in the WAC. Grand Canyon won't be immediately eligible for the NCAA tournament as it completes its transition to the higher division.
And, as noted by baseballtucson.com, Grand Canyon's move to the WAC means an opportunity for Tucson kids to play Division I baseball. The Antelopes have four local players on their roster: sophomore outfielder Nick Chapman, sophomore catcher Lucas Leifeld and freshman pitcher Tommy Harding (all from Sabino), and freshman pitcher Hunter Miller from Salpointe Catholic.
Several other former high school athletes from the Tucson area compete at Grand Canyon as well.

Kings Of Leon and The Flaming Lips are staging an Oklahoma storms benefit at the same arena Blake Shelton used for his televised charity concert last month (May13).
The two groups, who have ties to the state, will join Jackson Browne and Built to Spill at the Rock For Oklahoma concert on 28 July at Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City. All proceeds from the gig will benefit Oklahoma tornado victims.
Announcing the news on Wednesday (12Jun13), Kings of Leon frontman Jared Followill tells newspaper the Tulsa World, "We couldn't be more proud to lend a hand to our home state. We were all devastated by what happened there... We have family and friends that were affected by the tornadoes... This is the least we could do."
Fellow native and The Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne, whose home suffered flood damage as a result of the storms, adds, "Shakespeare said, 'It is not enough to help the needy up, but to support them after,' and in our small way we are trying to not just be here at the moment of immediate need, but to stay and help with the rebuilding. After all, this is our home and they (victims) are us and we are them."
Blake Shelton's Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert, which featured performances from his wife Miranda Lambert, Usher, Reba McEntire and Vince Gill, raised over $6 million (GBP3.9 million) for the recovery effort in Moore, Oklahoma, which was left ravaged by a deadly twister last month.
Garth Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and Toby Keith are also planning a benefit concert for the storm victims later this summer (13).

Spleen Arcana was born from the ashes of past musical projects led by Julien Gaullier, a self taught multi-instrumentalist from France who composes music at home since 1994.
Inspired by vintage progressive rock and musical heroes like Marillion, Anathema, Radiohead and Mike Oldfield, Julien decides some years ago to release a first album on his own, playing any instruments he could get his hands on and starting to record every note he wrote with the equipment he found around him. Helped later by David Perron on the drums and Marie Guillaumet for additionnal vocals.
I got in touch with Julien for the Spleen Arcana story.
Thank you to Julien for this interview

@The Quiet One : Thanks! I'd say the second album will be more "arcana" than "spleen"

In reference to Ms. Morasch and Mr. Boumgarten's recent letters about a suspect with a knife: The officers involved in this incident did do as they were trained. You would be amazed at the amount of damage a simple steak knife can do. Being stabbed is the least concern. A simple puncture wound is probably the easiest to treat. But a slashing style wound can cause permanent damage if tendons and ligaments are cut. What happens if the suspect cuts the tendons in your arm rendering it useless? Then escapes your grasp and kills a neighbor because you can do nothing? Your career just ended with a permanent disability and an innocent person is dead.
No, the officers involved did the right thing. It's not their responsibility to correct a lifetime of untreated mental illness in a brief, hostile and potentially life-threatening contact.
Plus, the number one rule in law enforcement is to go home at the end of shift.

Vice President Joe Biden has canceled a trip to Tampa, with Tropical Storm Isaac threatening the Florida host city of the Republican National Convention, the Democratic campaign said.
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign cited "disaster preparedness and local security concerns," for putting off the trip that had been set for Monday, as a visit by the vice president would require significant mobilization of local law enforcement and federal authorities.
The change in schedule "is being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on ensuring the safety of people who might be impacted by the storm, as well as those attending the activities in Tampa," the Obama campaign said in a statement.
But Biden is still scheduled to visit two cities further north in the battleground state of Florida — Orlando and St. Augustine — on Tuesday, though that trip remains "subject to change due to weather-related precautions."
At the Republican event, which runs Monday to Thursday, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan will be formally named candidates for the November 6 presidential election.
Obama and Biden will be confirmed as the Democratic candidates at their party's convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, from September 3 to 6.
Tropical Storm Isaac was roaring toward impoverished Haiti, where it was set to make landfall later Friday. Although its trajectory is still disorganized, it could near the Florida coast, including Tampa.

Welcome to Training Science, the new home of powerrunning.com.
What is Training Science? In the past 20 or so years a tremendous amount of new research on both strength and endurance training has been conducted but, unfortunately, much of this data is not well know outside of the physiological community. Athletes and exercise enthusiasts often don't have direct access to research journals or the most current published research data. My purpose with Training Science is to bring you the most up-to-date strength and endurance research and training information in a clear and understandable way so you can optimize your training and performance.
This site is divided into two major parts – strength and endurance. Each of these two main areas are further divided into physiology and training sections.
In the strength section I focus on reviewing and analyzing the most current physiological and training information as it relates to how muscles functions and how to maximize your strength and/or size. If you want to know the best way to get bigger and/or stronger then the strength section is the place to start.
The endurance section reviews, discusses, and analyzes the basics of endurance physiology and training, with an emphasis on running. I discuss and explain traditional physiological terms such as running economy, lactate threshold, and VO2max. I also examine the latest physiological research on non-traditional topics such as muscle factors, central governor model, and dose-response. If your goal is to maximize your endurance performance or if you want to learn more about the intricacies of the human body as it relates to endurance performance then the endurance section is your spot.
In both training sections I take facts, conclusions, and theories from the physiological sections and use them to discuss and propose training methods. All of the training methods and ideas presented here are science-based, not opinion-based, which means they are often very different from what most athletes are familiar with.
If you want to stay abreast of the latest research and thought on exercise physiology and training there is a wealth of information here to read and digest. My objective with Training Science is to provide you the latest information and research data in a clear, understandable, and useful way so that you are provided with the necessary knowledge to produce the absolute best performance you are capable of. I work very hard to accomplish this mission and hope you find this site both useful and informative.
If you typed www.powerrunning.com into your web browser you may be wondering how you ended up here. Training Science is the new home of Power Running. Previously I had one web site – Power Running – devoted to endurance training and another web site – Muscle Factor – devoted to strength training. Maintaining two web sites was a bit too time consuming so I decided to create a new web site that would encompass both strength and endurance physiology and training research, hence Training Science was born. I am working to migrate all of the content from the powerrunning web site and ask your patience as work on this project continues.

Motion Math
First there was Motion Math. Then Motion Math: Zoom. Now the family has grown to include Motion Math: Hungry Fish and Motion Math: Wings. Each game explores different math concepts in a way that takes great advantage of the iPod/iPad motion sensor and touch controls. All of them are either free or offer a free lite version. Full versions aren't that much more expensive (0.99 to 6.99). These games are on the better end of the math game scale, as they develop conceptual understanding through the use of visual representations of concepts and go much further beyond the math drill digital worksheet that many apps are.

Today I'm linking up with my dear bud, Holly, to share an idea for her "Tried-It Tuesday" linky party:
Class Seating Arrangement makes such a huge difference in the classroom.
I change up my seats often - usually every third week. Sometimes we move desks, but keep the same arrangement. Other times we switch the arrangement around completely.
I do this for a number of reasons:
- Adding student photos – names matter!
- Adding key data about students so teachers are aware of student needs and abilities at a glance.
- Using seating charts for effective differentiation – easily grouping or dispersing students in the classroom based on the data about them. For example – grouping the low ability readers for LSA support or differentiation work.
- Monitoring behavior and using the data in an intelligent way. All behaviour incidents are tracked and we use artificial intelligence to identify trends and patterns – all of this feeds back into the seating charts to minimize behavior issues and maximize learning.
- Finding which students interact positively / negatively with each other and making school leaders aware of this for when they decide class lists.
- Collaborating with colleagues & parents to tackle behavior as a team.
Check out Class Charts - you won't be sorry! :)

|Aim and Objectives
12 volunteers left Hong Kong on July 22 for a one-week English summer camp in Taiyuen, Shanxi, China. The group was comprised of both veterans and first timers, so we had a good mix of experience and fresh blood.
The GFF Board decided to try a different approach for our annual English summer camp. We plan to return to the same school for several years to see if there would be measurable contributions at that school. The school we selected was Mingde School. It is not a traditional school because it is primarily a weekend and summer school for local student to spend time in a learning environment.
About 60 students attended this year, ranging from Secondary 1 to Secondary 6. With such a wide range of student age groups we divided the morning classes into three major groups of about 20 students. In the afternoon the students worked in smaller groups of 8 to 12 students each.
The weather was pretty hot during the day and the classrooms were not too well ventilated so some of the classes were conducted in the courtyard where it was cooler. Students moved their own benches and desks and we conducted class out in the open. During the day there was some jockeying to get the best spot because we had to move our location once or twice to adjust to the Sun's movement.
As usual, the last day of class was left for group presentations in English. Students chose different types of activities to present such as fairy tales, story-telling, comedy, and singing. All of us enjoyed the presentations and appreciated the hard work the student put into preparing their presentations. We selected several winning teams for their outstanding performance.
On the last day the school staff and students organized an elaborate closing ceremony with a Chinese drum and dance group which added extra excitement to the atmosphere. In addition, a number of senior students gave some moving and well thought out speeches, the likes of which we had not heard before.

FME conferences began with a VDM Europe symposium in 1987. Since then, the meetings have grown and have been held about once - ery 18 months. Throughout the years the symposia have been notably successful in bringing together researchers, tool developers, vendors, and users, both from academia and from industry. Unlike previous symposia in the series, FM 2003 was not given a speci?c theme. Rather, its main goal could be synthesized as awidening the scope. a Indeed, the organizers aimed at enlarging the audience and impact of the symposium along several directions. Dropping the su?x aEa from the title of the conference re?ects the wish to welcome participation and contribution from every country; also, contributionsfromoutsidethetraditionalFormalMethodscommunitywere solicited.

Although it was only her second game with FC Kansas City, Sarah Hagen quickly found a way to contribute to the Blues' winning ways.
Hagen scored her first two goals of the season while leading FC Kansas City to a 5-0 rout of Sky Blue FC on Sunday night at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. The victory extended the Blues' win streak to seven games, and they are now undefeated in their last nine matches.
"They performed very well and every line worked," FC Kansas City coach Vlatko Andonovski said. "They were connected and worked extremely hard so the end result was no surprise."
Erika Tymrak got the Blues off to a quick start when she scored on an assist from Leigh Ann Robinson in the second minute for her third goal of the season. Then, Lauren Holiday bent in a corner kick from the right side in the ninth minute for a 2-0 lead.
Hagen, who had previously been playing for Bayern Muchen in Germany, added to the attack with her first National Women's Soccer League goal in the 20th minute on an assist from Tymrak. She also headed in a rebound after Holiday's shot hit the post in the 42nd minute, extending the lead to 4-0 before the break.
"She has been a great acquisition for the team," Andonovski said. "Her presence and goal scoring ability has definitely been something we have welcomed especially the way we play and possess the ball."
It was the Blues' highest scoring half of the season and matched their highest game total dating back to a 4-0 victory against the Houston Dash on May 3.
Amy Rodriguez added one more goal in stoppage time and Army National Guard Player of the Month Nicole Barnhart recorded her sixth consecutive shutout, sealing the victory. Barnhart leads the NWSL with eight shutouts on the season.

Ben Walker - Inspire CA
To break away from the enterprise that provided your first major opportunity can be a difficult task - especially if you have never been in a senior management role before.
This is the situation that Ben Walker, now director of Inspire CA, faced in recent years, moving from an employee within an established firm to starting his own accounting business.
Founded by Ben in 2013 at the age of 22, Inspire CA holds a niche position in the accounting industry in Queensland. In Ben's own words, the 'business aims to help young families use their small business to achieve big goals.'
However, in contrast to normal accounting firms, Inspire CA has a true focus on family. Ben believes that by managing tax obligations and the red tape surrounding family-run enterprises, owners can spend more time with those most dear to them - their loved ones.
'We believe that family is the most important business and most business owners go into [it] for the freedom and to spend more time with their families,' he said.
Ben has led Inspire CA to significant success over nearly three years of operations, but getting to this position has required him to develop his own leadership style and ensure that he is delegating responsibilities and tasks appropriately. In 2014 Ben won the Anthill Online 30under30 award and was a finalist at the Brisbane Business News "Brisbane Young Entrepreneur of the Year" awards.
• Transitioning into senior management leadership
• Influence of teamwork and collaboration
• Interactions with similar business leaders
The challenge:
Becoming a leader for a growing team
After several years of working within a traditional accounting firm, Ben began to think about new and innovative ways that they could serve clients. While there was nothing wrong with the original approach, Ben's idea stretched further than the ideals of his former employer.
'I thought we could change things that matter more to our clients - the way we charge, the way we communicate with people and the technology used behind it,' he said.
In February 2013, Ben broke away to form Inspire CA. With a handful of clients in tow, the business quickly grew to what Ben thought would be the best model possible for his customers.
However, leadership can sometimes be a burden and, by Ben's own admission, he believes he tried to wear too many hats at once. During the initial months, Ben described himself as a 'massive control freak', trying to run every single part of his business himself. Whether this was remuneration, business strategy, recruitment or customer relations, Ben wanted to ensure every element ran as smoothly as possible.
The solution:
Finding balance within the team
As Inspire CA grew, Ben was forced to hire more staff to his team and is now the leader of 12, with around half operating in accounting services and half dealing in administration.
Ben explains that TEC played a major role in his own development and helped him to alleviate his workload.
"One thing that TEC has helped me with is to understand that the team is there is assist you and getting rid of the idea that 'we are the best in everything' - recognising that others have better skills in certain areas," he stated.
Whether this involves delegating more effectively, making clear his highest and best use or working on his priorities, Ben's work with TEC has contributed to him becoming a well-respected and trusted leader throughout his team.
"A lot of people go into business good at what they do, but not necessarily great a running a business. I'm happy to put my hand up and say that was me," he said.
"You are here as a CEO to provide strategy, guidance and empower the team, not necessarily doing it all."
The results:
Maintaining a wide, positive mindset
Ben said that, in many small accounting firms, the partner is often so involved with day-to-day operations that they forget the importance of strategy and reviewing customer relationships. This is something Ben now takes on board and ensures he is always looking at the bigger picture.
For over 18 months, Ben has been a TEC member, and understands the value of interacting with business leaders who have years of experience and are happy to share their triumphs and mistakes.
[su_quote]TEC membership has prepped me with the right mindset to tackle different challenges as they come up,[/su_quote]
Ben also sees value in now helping new business owners get their model right from the start and sharing his own experiences to ensure leaders focus on the right areas.
"My passion for marketing and unique business models means I can provide insight to other members. People get value from being in the same room as like-minded individuals," he explained.
Starting a small business is difficult and Ben's experiences are shared by many others across Australia. However, even when the tough times do arrive, it is clear that a focused and skilled team can ensure small-business leaders have the time to take the enterprise in the direction that they desire.

London (AP) -- Chelsea kept up its push for a Champions League spot by beating Swansea 2-0 on Sunday with both goals coming shortly before the halftime break.
Oscar put Chelsea ahead at Stamford Bridge in the 44th minute and Frank Lampard then doubled the lead from the penalty spot a minute later for his 201st goal for the club, moving him within one of Bobby Tambling's record.
Lampard began the game on the bench but came on because of a thigh injury for Oscar and scored his 15th goal of the season.
Last season's European champions were unable to add to their total in the second half as Rafael Benitez's side moved into third place in the Premier League, one point ahead of Arsenal and three clear of rival Tottenham in the battle for a place in the top four. Swansea extended its winless run to six games.
Chelsea's next Premier League clash comes at Manchester United before the London derby with Spurs on May 8 which could prove decisive in the Champions League qualifying race.
For now they remain on course to achieve their two remaining targets this term and they will seek to confirm their place in the Europa League final in Thursday's semifinal second leg with Basel.
John Obi Mikel was left on the substitutes' bench as referee Mark Clattenburg took charge of a Chelsea match for the first time since he was cleared of using "inappropriate language'' towards Mikel in October.
Chelsea's last home loss came on Jan. 9 against Swansea in the League Cup semifinal in a competition which saw the Blues' exit embarrassingly when Eden Hazard was sent off and banned for kicking a ball boy in the away leg.
The Belgian had the game's first shot, which Michel Vorm held comfortably, before the Swansea goalkeeper blocked a swerving effort from Demba Ba from 25 yards.
The hosts' opener came after John Terry intercepted a long ball forward before striding purposefully into midfield. He fed Lampard, who in turn found Oscar, and the Brazil forward drilled a shot across goal inside the far post.
Chelsea doubled their advantage before the interval after Juan Mata combined with Hazard before being pulled down by Leon Britton.
Lampard fired the ball low into the right corner and immediately Stamford Bridge erupted into chants of "sign him up''. The midfielder's contract expires after this season, and he has not been offered a new deal.
Reading (AP) -- Reading and Queens Park Rangers became the first teams to be relegated from the English Premier League this season after they drew 0-0 on Sunday.
Both teams needed a win to keep a slim hope alive of overtaking 17th-place Aston Villa, but neither side managed to create many clear-cut chances in a game that featured little creativity or entertainment value.
QPR is leaving the topflight after two years, having stayed up on the last day of last season.
"Next year it will be very difficult to get promoted, there are some good teams,'' QPR manager Harry Redknapp said. "For us to get promoted we have to come back in preseason and get super fit. The Championship is Saturday, midweek.
"It you are not fit enough you won't survive, you won't get out of that league. The players that are here have to work so hard and want to get super fit to compete next year.''
QPR have spent heavily since owner Tony Fernandes' takeover in 2011, and Redknapp is hopeful the Malaysian's investment will still be rewarded.
"I will get to see him this week and we will have some meetings and talk about things going forward, with the team with the players,'' Redknapp told Sky Sports TV. "I have said many times they are good people, so I would love to see them get back in the Premier league and build a team that will stay there next time.''
Reading is making an instant return to the second tier.
"I have told the players to bottle up the feeling as it is never nice to get relegated, and make sure they never feel that way again,'' Nigel Adkins, who was hired as Reading manager last month, told the BBC. "We must now build for the future and learn the lessons well from this season. We have to regroup and put ourselves in a position to challenge to get back into the Premier League. For any new promoted team, it is a challenge to stay up. The Premier League is a ruthless division.''
Wigan currently occupies the third spot in the relegation zone, and is two points from safety.

The Grey Album riffs on Langston Hughes and Jay-Z, Tiger Woods and Elizabeth Bishop.
Where is blackness right now? Is it behind us, beyond us, on top of us? Have we buried it? Is it everywhere? Is it nowhere?
A group of youngish writers and artists and performers is trying to orient blackness in the 21st century, to situate it both personally and politically. In very different works of widely varying quality and ambition, people as diverse as Michele Norris, Lenny Kravitz, Touré, Colson Whitehead, Keegan Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Lydia R. Diamond, Lynn Nottage, and Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts are inspecting themselves and, by extension, this country and its myths. Taken as a group, what's remarkable about all of these projects (books, plays, records, TV shows) is their serenity—their searching nature. None of them is explicitly about the president, but, for better and for worse, the Obama era seems to have amplified an alternative to black anger: black calm, black rationality, black "I heard you call me The Food Stamp President and you know you're wrong, but I've got more important shit to do with my day."
Most of these artists, writers, and musicians, like the president, aren't only black. They're mixed-race, and many of them are highly educated, and from the middle-, upper-, or leisure class. That mix—both the racial one and the socio-economic one—has helped shift the expression of blackness away from outrage to contemplation, from "assassin poems," as the poet and activist Amiri Baraka once called for in "Black Art," to a state of black cultural civility. We might still need a Public Enemy, Dave Chappelle, or Amiri Baraka, but that we don't have one at the moment is telling. Let's put it this way: Right now Chris Rock is starring in a romantic comedy with the antic Frenchwoman Julie Delpy and Jimmy Fallon's house band is The Roots. Everything has risen and converged.
The place everything has come to is where a new book of essays by the poet and professor Kevin Young lives: in some great, grey area. The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness roughly spans the history of black American art and tries, among other things, to get at what it is, essentially, to be black.
Young selectively unpacks the enormous suitcase of black culture and, too infrequently, asserts himself into the sorting. He remembers, revisits, and revises. The task he's set before himself is both unenviable (that's one big-ass suitcase) and exciting (what if he actually pulls this off?). The book argues and sifts its way from slave narratives to jazz to funk and rock and hip-hop with stops along the way for close reconsiderations of poets like Langston Hughes and Bob Kaufman.
It's full of allusions and ideas, half-ideas, dropped names, dropped ideas. You always feel that Young is severely under the influences of everything and everyone he's writing about. These are essays, treatises, and term papers—written with a contact high. In five pages, he might mention The Tempest, the Titanic, W.H. Auden, the Middle Passage, the boxer Jack Johnson, Peer Gynt, Muhammad Ali, Seamus Heaney, Bo Diddley, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Johnson, Black Like Me, and Tiger Woods. He is riffing, freestyling, and action-painting, yes. But he's also driving so fast that there's rarely time to stop and look out the windows.
The book shares its title with The Grey Album, a 2004 concept record in which Brian Burton, the producer and DJ known as Danger Mouse, turned Jay-Z's Black Album and the Beatles' White Album into a sandwich. (Young saves mentioning it for the end of the book and calls it the "grey pachyderm in the room.") Danger Mouse's mashup was a good idea that, beyond its cultural novelty, had its musical moments. But you were more aware of Burton's thinking and tinkering, of his cleverness and wit, than you ever truly were of the actual music. The new thing he had engineered was less than the sum of its parts. It defied astronomy. Two universes collided yet failed to produce a big bang.
Young's Grey Album has a similar problem. As he runs his magnifying glass over all these authors and musicians, you're never entirely sure what he's found—or even what he's looking for. You keep waiting for the eureka moment, for the announcement that you are now free to move about the cabin. But it never entirely comes. Some of this is a problem of tone. A vernacular phrase ("and that's the troof," for example) is usually a few sentences away from an academic contortion or a pun.
Grey really is the operative situation—it's an ambiguous, indeterminate, cloudy book, with near 0 percent visibility for long stretches. Teasing out what Young is up to is sometimes worth it, sometimes not, and occasionally impossible. He writes with the contorted self-awareness of certain academics. Here he is in an early chapter on fetishes:
As parallel, the racialized fetish both dispels the anxiety over blackness and maintains it; the fetish ain't nothing if not ambiguous, both symbol of anxiety and substitute for it. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. The fetish is both a cure for, and expression of, anxiety over black influence.
In a section devoted to Langston Hughes's strategic withholding, Young recounts a story from his autobiography, The Big Sea, in which Hughes travels by boat to Africa. On the way there, Hughes throws his books overboard as a rejection of American educational values and a kind of intellectual slave mentality. Young explains Hughes' jettisoning as an act of "aliteracy": "a trickster-style technique that questions not just Western dichotomies (bad/good, black/white) but provides a system beyond which one can be defined, even by writing, or by illiteracy or ill-."
Young is working out a fascinating idea but seems incapable of choosing either poetry or prose as his tool, classical or hip-hop. "By illiteracy or ill-" might pop as part of a stanza, but it stymies as a line of critical thinking. The entire book is like this, tripped up by language and syntax and tone. He's so immersed in his subjects that he takes on their properties and ideas. The game of musical chairs wipes you out.
Sometimes the appropriation brings something fresh out of him. There's a well-argued passage about the usefulness of lying in an old Alice Walker essay about Zora Neale Hurston, in which Walker's lucidity makes him lucid. But she makes his point much more entertainingly than he does, and unlike Young, you know what she's up to in her essay.
Young has a rushed writer's weakness for a one-word gush about the quality of a work: The Big Sea, he writes, is "stunning." But the case he makes for the book and for Hughes's bifurcated self-communication is kind of stunning in itself. Hughes, he argues, wasn't hiding, as some scholars have asserted. He was engaged in what Young calls the art of dissembling, telling white readers one thing while implying another for a knowing, attuned, presumably black audience. Daniel Defoe and Jean-Jacques Rousseau turned the misleading confessional into literary sport. Young reads Hughes's approach as more practically canny. He offered an official story to keep the real, personal one to himself.
Ironically, Young seems conflicted about how much of himself to mix into the proceedings. (We do learn that as a boy he wanted to be one of Gladys Knight's Pips.) As an aside, Young writes that The Big Sea changed his life, but telling us it changed your life only makes us want to know how. His most evocative, detailed, and sustained writing is saved for a chapter on Bob Kaufman, a lesser-known Beat and one of Young's heroes. It's the perfect combination of remembrance and cultural critique. Kaufman changed his life, and, for once, we can feel how. We sense the potential of what Young is trying to achieve. This book actually is personal. All of this culture? It's in him. It is him.
But for Young living as a child of that culture is a lot of pressure. Earlier, in recounting Hughes's remembrance of that great jettisoning, of his rejection of "book learnin'," Young tries to throw himself off the boat, too:
I am tired of ideas. Tonight, I prefer lives, especially lies. I am sick of confession, thought, analysis. Throw the books into the sea, and let them swim for it, like Shine, the mythic black porter who refused to stay on the sinking Titanic.
Whoa, but there's, like, 200 pages left, and they're not at all devoted to that intensely human, intellectual urge to shut off your brain. They're full of the very analysis and thought Young wishes he could help himself from committing. So, in a sense, The Grey Album is a neurotic product, a book of intellectual compulsion that Young couldn't stop himself from writing, a book containing dozens of possible other books and personal essays.
That compulsion is both the discrete drama of this smart and achy but exasperatingly freeform book and the collective sense, among a class and generation of black artists, of where blackness now is: How can Young simultaneously undress black culture and undress himself? How can he do that without giving away too much of himself, without agitating anyone or over-turning anything? For the moment, there's no more acting out or acting up. There is only acting in.
We're past James Baldwin's seething recriminations and Amiri Baraka's calls for racial insurgency. There's no collective will to start a riot. In one sense, Barack Obama has put black American culture on its best behavior. It's at a new place of cultural, historical, and personal ultrasensitivity, where every upheaval, every book, every song, every exchange provokes an almost involuntary need to peacefully critique and process and synthesize. The recriminations can wait. These writers, artists, and musicians are taking this moment to reassess blackness—not against the backdrop of wider mainstream American culture, or even in opposition to whiteness. They're standing before the monolith of black cultural identity and trying to carve out a shape they understand. Introspection is now a superpower to be harnessed. When Young gets his under control, look out. He's going to need a cape.

Cape Town's Signal Hill noon day gun releases Majan on Leg 3
In breathtaking style the giant A100 Trimaran 'Majan' shot across the Cape Town start line of the third leg of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race just off Table Bay harbour's breakwater at exactly midday (12:00 Local time) today to track a course down south to the treacherous seas of the Southern Ocean for her next stop in Fremantle, Australia

by Lou Newlands
With skipper Paul Standbridge, one of the world's top sailors and the former manager of South Africa's America's Cup Team Shosholoza, at the helm, and the start perfectly timed to coincide with the daily firing of the noon day gun from Cape Town's landmark Signal Hill, the magnificent speed machine, which has utterly captivated Capetonians during her brief stay in the city, quickly built pace of over 23 knots in a brisk 14 knot south westerly breeze and dark rain threatening skies.
On the crew is world famous French round the world sailor Sidney Gavignet,crack French America's Cup sailor Thierry Douillard, former Team Shosholoza sailor Michael Giles from Port Elizabeth, Omani sailor Mohsin Al Busaidi who became the first Arab to sail non-stop around the world last year, Mohammed Al Ghailani a young Omani trainee sailorand Olympic sailor Mark Covell who is the media crew on board.

Earlier the crew of Majan were given a rousing dockside farewell from family, newly made local friends and young sailors from the Izivunguvungu Foundation for Youth in Simonstown who were thrilled to tour the yacht and meet the crew just minutes before they cast off.
Cape Town is a designated as the first stopover for the race which is planned in 2012. Conceived by OC Events and campaigned by Oman Sail, the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race will be the first ever yacht race to link the Middle East, Africa, Australia and Asia and the first ever race of its kind in the Indian Ocean.
Majan sailing off Cape Town. Image copyright OC Events Asia.
It will feature "city start lines" in Muscat, Cape Town, Fremantle (Australia) and Singapore and five "Cape" finish lines - Cape Ras Al Hadd off Oman, Cape Agulhas, the most southerly point of Africa, Cape Leeuwin on South West Australia, Cape Piai, the southernmost point of Mainland Asia, just west of Singapore and Cape Comorin on the southern tip of India. This next leg to Fremantle which will involve racing across the frozen and treacherous Southern Ocean will be one of the most exhilarating and dangerous of the course, before reaching the warmth of Cape Leeuwin and Australia's west coast.
For sailors, the Southern Ocean is the vague term for the Southern Seas and the underworld where no land separates the oceans.

Below 40 degrees of latitude, a series of low pressure systems continuously 'roar' and move towards the east without being blocked by any land mass. Down there, the crew of Majanwill find themselves in the Grey World – one of the most remote and dangerous parts of the planet.
Writing on his blog while at sea soon after the start Mohsin Al Busaidi said: "As we waved goodbye to the new friends we made in Cape Town, it was time to mentally prepare ourselves for the toughest leg yet to Fremantle, Australia. It's an overcast, warm day. The wind is light, around 8 knots. We're heading south out of Table Bay. The mood onboard is a mixture of excitement to be back on Majan and anticipation about entering the Southern Ocean - we have a great team and a great boat, it's going to be an amazing adventure."

The A100 trimaran 'Majan'left Muscat, Oman, last month on 6th February and stopped briefly in the Maldives while en route to Cape Town to traces out this new course via 5 great Capes. She crossed the proposed new race finish line at Cape Agulhas – the second cape on the course - at 16:02:57 GMT, 13 days, 6 hours and 57 seconds after leaving the Maldives.

Once you enter a plea of "not guilty", a trial will be set for a later date agreed to by both you and the City. Having the trial at a later date enables both parties to bring witnesses to testify about the incident. On your trial date, you should be prepared to present your case, including having any witnesses present at the trial to testify.

This just might be the best banana bread recipe! You'll need ripe bananas, flour, butter, eggs and spices. It's so good, you'll want to make 2 loaves. So many great reviews! Jump to the Banana Bread Recipe or watch our quick recipe video to see how we make it.
Banana bread has been on our to-do list for quite some time now. It's a classic and we knew we couldn't miss the opportunity to share our own easy version with you.
YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Looking for something a little lighter? Here's how to make healthy banana bread that actually tastes good! It has lower sugar, healthier fats and added whole grains. Jump to the Guilt-Free Healthy Banana Bread Recipe.
How to Make the Best Banana Bread
There are no surprises in our recipe — you'll find mashed bananas, flour, butter, eggs, baking soda and spices. Nuts are optional, although we do love the added crunch.
YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Our Easy Blueberry Muffins Recipe – You only need one bowl and 30 minutes to make them! One of our most popular recipes!
No matter what recipe you use, remember this: There is no point in baking up a batch of banana bread without using ripe bananas. In fact if you can wait a day for browned, overripe and speckled bananas, it's even better. If your bananas are still green, wait a day or two. You won't regret it.
It's the bananas that make banana bread so moist, sweet and flavorful. Once you're ready with your bananas, the rest of the recipe comes together quickly.
You definitely don't need a mixer to make banana bread — a fork or whisk works perfectly fine. Treat the batter like muffin or pancake batter. Don't over mix. You're only looking to mix everything together until you no longer see streaks of flour. This way, the bread stays on the lighter, moister side instead of heavy and flat.
The bread bakes for quite a while – about an hour. Even though that seems like a long time to wait, the smell of banana bread baking in the oven is to die for. Definitely top 10 on our list of best kitchen smells!

Recipe updated, originally posted January 2014. Since posting this in 2014, we have tweaked the recipe to be more clear and added a quick recipe video. – Adam and Joanne
Ridiculously Easy Homemade Banana Bread Recipe
For the best, most flavorful bread, the bananas need to be ripe — overripe, brown and speckled is even better. Nuts are completely optional for this. We love the bread both ways, but do enjoy the extra crunch from a handful of walnuts or pecans. A note on pan size: We use a 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan; if you only have a 9- by 5-inch pan, start checking for doneness 5 to 10 minutes earlier.
You Will Need
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 medium bananas, heavily speckled or even black bananas are best (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
8 tablespoons (115 grams or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup (150 grams) packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (50 grams) walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped, optional
- Prepare Batter
- To Finish
Center a rack in the oven and heat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Place the pan on an insulated baking sheet or on two regular baking sheets stacked on top of the other.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together, set aside. In the bottom of a medium bowl, mash bananas into a chunky paste. Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla into the bananas until blended.
Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, stirring gently until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in nuts.
Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 55 to 75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. After 30 minutes in the oven, check the bread for color. If it looks like it is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
When the bread is done, transfer it, in the pan, to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the bread and place right side up on the rack. Cool completely.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- It's best to wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. (Since it's just the two of us, we store in the refrigerator then when we want a slice we'll give it a couple minutes in our toaster oven to warm up).
- We use kosher salt. If you don't have it on hand, keep this in mind: 1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt = about 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt.
- Nutrition facts: The nutrition facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA Supertracker recipe calculator to calculate approximate values.

Rachel Houseknecht pole vaulted 12-5.5 to finish fourth at the ECAC Division I Indoor Track & Field Championship.
On the heels of an 11th-place finish at the ECAC Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, the Liberty women's indoor track & field team climbed two spots to No. 13 in the final U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) NCAA Division I Regional Index of the 2011-12 indoor season. The Lady Flames scored 24.5 points in recording their best-ever placement at the ECAC indoor meet, topping a 12th-place finish from 2001. Liberty also improved upon its 14th-place showing from last year's ECAC indoor championship. Sophomore Jocelyn Williams was Liberty's top performer on the weekend in Boston, Mass., winning the weight throw title with her sixth and final attempt. Williams' toss of 62-6.5 broke her own school record and made her the first Lady Flame to win an ECAC indoor event title since Jaime Watson claimed the 800-meter crown in 2008. Liberty also got fourth-place finishes from Meghan Burggraf in the 800 and Rachel Houseknecht in the pole vault. Burggraf's time of 2:09.79 set a new personal best, while Houseknecht's 12-5.5 clearance equaled her lifetime best. With the 2011-12 indoor campaign now completed, Liberty will turn its attention to the outdoor season. The Flames and Lady Flames will compete in their first outdoor meet this Friday and Saturday, when they travel to Myrtle Beach, S.C. for the Coastal Carolina Invitational.

the label + our philosophy
BALMASEDA is a project about wearables by textile artist Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda.
A small label that creates one-of-a-kind garments and products that embrace mindful making processes by combining humble materials with exquisite artisanal techniques. A hands-on manifesto of the symbiotic relationship we can have with our materials, what we make, use, eat, and the environment.
Produced in small batches using exclusively ethically grown/processed fibers and recycled materials – sourced locally whenever possible. This project explores the realm between Art and Craft, and involves development of new techniques while maintaining a deeply rooted respect for traditional craftsmanship.
BALMASEDA is designed/knit/spun/dyed by artist/designer/concoctionist Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda, and often produced in collaboration with mother/seamstress/creative marvel (with magical hands), and her wonderful studio assistants between Brooklyn (New York) , Bayamón (Puerto Rico), and Barcelona (Spain).
We work with local designers, artists, and craftsmen to promote their work and wonderful skills while they help us create a bit of magic.
Our photographers are our talented friends: Jordan Cortese, Michael Butterfin, Amaro Vega, and Dorian Iten. These sharp-eyed individuals share some of our values, and rejoice in depicting the reality of people. Our models are not "just bodies", they are also creative friends and supporters who represent diverse and natural beauty.
Thank you Mallory Matoush, Anne Taylor, Patricia González Ramírez, María Amelia Cotarelo, and Daniela Fabrizi for animating our creations.
We've also partnered with various local companies to collect and transform their textile waste into our beautiful 'hand-spun recycled fabric yarn'. Amongst our donation partners are STUDY-NY, Auralis, Daniel Silverstein, Textile Arts Center, and Miss Sportswear Inc.
We cultivate a holistic approach to everything we do. Operating with transparency is important to us, as is community engagement, and contributing to various environmental and social causes.
BALMASEDA supports:
- Canopy Initiative - We have vouched to protect ancient and endangered forests. We encourage you to sign the pledge too!
- Green Tree Textiles
- Catalysta's Dream Job series
- Los Padres Foundation Mentorship program
- International High School at Lafayette's Mentorship/Internship program
We also offer educational demonstrations and participate in panel discussions to create awareness and share our process at events like Manufacture NY's Textile Summit, Eileen Fisher's Earth Month programming with Sass Brown, and Slow Fashion Spain's "The Art of Slow Fashion".
Our Materials
We work exclusively with ethically grown/milled/processed fibers and recycled materials; all sourced locally whenever possible.
- Our Organic Cotton Sateen and Organic Cotton Voile are both grown, spun, and milled in the USA.
- Our Organic Cotton Jersey is GOTS Certified and supplied by Pickering International.
- For our quilted goods we use 100% Recycled PET Batting.
- Our Undyed Shetland Wool yarn comes from Hudson Valley Sheep & Wool Co.
- We occasionally upcycle deadstock yarns such as alpaca, mohair, wool and bamboo.
- Our hand-spun recycled-fiber yarn is made by hand from 100% mixed recycled fibers that we gather from designers' production room floors (cut-offs) and other facilities that have unwanted textiles which would otherwise become waste. This yarn is also made at estudioBALMASEDA both in Puerto Rico and New York.
Our Production Methods
BALMASEDA is designed/knit/spun/dyed by Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda, and produced in collaboration with mother/seamstress/creative marvel, and her wonderful studio assistants between Brooklyn NY, and Puerto Rico. Both healthy working environments that allow the makers to see each piece they construct from beginning to end, and providing the creative satisfaction that gets lost in the assembly line/factory setup.
With humble ingredients as a point of departure, we create unique surfaces/textures through creative employment of traditional hand-work techniques such as hand-spinning, natural-dyeing, hand-knitting, free-motion quilting, crochet, and hand-embroidery.
Many of our pieces are reversible (front & back, inside & outside), transformable, or modular. All of our pieces are finely crafted, made to become future heirloom pieces. With these intentions we encourage our customer to consume less but more consciously.
Each of our creations has a unique serial number that tells its story (including where the materials come from, when it was made, by whom, and where). Because of the labor intensive techniques we use, every item is one-of-a-kind.
Our hand-dyed fabrics are colored only with plant dyes which are extracted and 'cooked' at our studio. We use Alum and Soda Ash as mordanting agents (when necessary), and keep our water usage to the minimum. We only wash our fabrics with non-toxic, fragrance/color-free detergents that are gentle on mother nature.
We create very little textile waste and all the cut-offs from our 'woven' pieces are turned into buttons, or spun into yarn.
Our business cards and other paper goods are made with recycled materials as much recycled content as available, and non-toxic inks whenever possible.
Some of our hangers are hand-made by Zaida Adriana's grandfather out of reclaimed wood (gathered in upstate NY) and recycled metal hangers. Our other hangers are made out of 100% recycled content, FSC Certified, K2 Paper Fiberboard.

Authorities Remove Pet Alligator from Boalsburg Home
By Jenn Miller
In today's weird news department, authorities removed a pet alligator from a Boalsburg home over the weekend.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission notified State College police about the pet alligator in the 100 block of Honeysuckle Drive after officials discovered an ad on CraigsList advertising the pet for sale.
The alligator is five feet long, police say.
Police say the owner was attempting to sell the pet through the classified ad website.
Concerned the owner might resort to releasing the animal in the woods, authorities went to the home to remove the alligator.
Authorities arranged for Chris Robinson from Robinson's Exotic Animals in Julian to take the alligator into custody.
Police say owning an alligator as a pet is legal.
Note: Obviously, the above image does not picture the actual alligator.

Farm Income Comparison – Is forestry worth it?
Veon (formerly FEL) foresters are often asked, 'If forestry is worth it from a financial perspective and how does it compare to other farm enterprises'. Veon conducted a case study to compare forestry to other farming enterprises such as tillage and livestock farming. The case study explores the benefits of farm forestry and highlights how forestry can supplement other farm incomes.
You can download a copy of the Farm Income Comparison case study here. We have also developed an forestry income calculator where you can calculate how much you can earn on your land from forestry.

In this comprehensive social history of Columbia Universityas School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), Robert McCaughey combines archival research with oral testimony and contemporary interviews to build both a critical and celebratory portrait of one of the oldest engineering schools in the United States. McCaughey follows the evolving, occasionally rocky, and now integrated relationship between SEASas engineers and the rest of the Columbia University student body, faculty, and administration. He also revisits the interaction between the SEAS staff and the inhabitants and institutions of the City of New York, where the school has resided since its founding in 1864. He compares the historical struggles and achievements of the schoolas engineers with their present-day battles and accomplishments, and he contrasts their teaching and research approaches to those of their peers at other free-standing and Ivy league engineering schools. What begins as a localized history of a school striving to define itself within a university known for its strengths in the humanities and the social sciences becomes a wider story of the transformation of the applied sciences into a critical component of American technology and education.A History of Columbiaa#39;s School of Engineering and Applied Science Since 1864 Robert McCaughey ...
