Although his credentials are outstanding, we find Maestro Stelluto excels at his role here also because he is such an approachable individual. He makes the music accessible for we who are untrained and approach PSO concerts with happy anticipation but not significant musical education.
Our warmest regards go to the musicians of PSO who perform beautifully, giving a voice to Peoria that rises above the day to day concerns of life, lifts our emotions, and revives our spirits. They are our neighbors and friends and share their talents and artistry with us all so that the mundane does not define us. – Diane and Greg Flebbe
Award-winning American conductor George Stelluto is acclaimed for his compelling, inspired performances of repertoire from the Baroque to present day. As Music Director of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra, Associate Conductor of the Ravinia Festival, and a member of The Juilliard School faculty, he has established himself as a versatile conductor comfortable in many styles and genres.
He made critically acclaimed debuts with the Pasadena Symphony Orchestra, Nordwestduetsche Philharmonie (Germany), and the Orquestra Jovem do Estado Sao Paulo (Brazil). Other guest appearances include: The Juilliard Orchestra, Orquesta Filarmónica del Ecuador, Ukrainian National Orchestra, Hartford Symphony Orchestra, New York City Ballet, Transylvania State Philharmonic (Romania), ICE, and Juilliard's "Beyond the Machine" and AXIOM. He made his Avery Fisher Hall debut with the Juilliard Orchestra in May 2008 and his international debut at The Kiev International Music Festival in 2000 where he gave the Ukrainian premiere of Samuel Barber's Second Essay for Orchestra. Subsequent acclaimed premieres there include William Schuman's Symphony #5, Barber's First Essay, and Ewazen's Chamber Symphony. He worked extensively with the Central Conservatory Orchestra in Beijing as part of the conducting staff for The Juilliard Orchestra's 2008 tour of China and for the school's 2005-2006 100th Anniversary Tours of Europe and America – premiering Senderovas' Fanfare at the Berlin Konzerthaus. From 1998-2007, George Stelluto was Music Director of the Las Vegas Music Festival. He is the founder of the Illinois New Music Festival, which debuted in 2010 and repeats once every several years with unifying themes relating musical expression and society. He has collaborated with solo artists such as Sarah Chang, Bela Fleck, Andre Watts, Edgar Meyer, Heidi Grant Murphy, Hilary Hahn, Jeff Nelsen, Marc Coppey and Samuel Ramey; actors Kate Mulgrew and Isaac Mizrahi; and many young rising stars such as Charles Yang, Veronika Eberle, Benjamin Moser, Anna Lee, Conrad Tao and Sirena Huang. His numerous contemporary premieres include works by Philippe Bodin, Bela Fleck, Virko Baley, Huang Ruo, Paul Desenne, Armand Ranjbaran, and Theodore Antoniou.
In performance, reviews, interviews, and recordings, George Stelluto has been featured in print, radio, and television throughout the Americas and Europe. His Pasadena Symphony Orchestra debut received rave reviews from four LA area newspapers including a Los Angeles Times article with the headline: A Welcome Guest – Could He Become a Fixture Here? The New York Times wrote of his performance of "Opus Jazz": "Robert Prince's score swings and slinks. The Juilliard Orchestra, with members of Juilliard Dance and Jazz, conducted by George Stelluto, sounded sharp." His appointment as Music Director of the Peoria Symphony came after a concert The Peoria Star-Journal described as "electrifying" and "a moment of coming together not just of the music, but of a conductor and an orchestra." Call Back Magazine, wrote of his performance of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro: "Vocally, musically, and dramatically it didn't miss a beat. … Stelluto conducted with taste, balance, and firm control of players and singers".
Beyond his conducting interests, Maestro Stelluto is also involved in cultural advocacy, arts education, and arranging. The Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, and the Juilliard Orchestra have performed his orchestral reduction of Schreker's overture to the opera Die Gezeichneten. His reduction of the entire opera was premiered by the Los Angeles Opera in April 2010 and will be published by Universal in Vienna. Opera Lyon (France), will perform his edition of Die Gezeichneten this season. His reduction of Grosz' Afrika Songs was premiered in 2011 at the Ravinia Festival.He has published several co-authored articles on leadership (Leadership Quarterly, 2004) and given presentations about conductors as leadership models for business organizations. Additionally, he has published numerous articles in the Juilliard Journal on topics ranging from Health Care to Arts Funding and his new blog "Stelluto Offstage" has already developed quite a following. He speaks often in United States, South America, and Europe on "Building Cultural Infrastructure"©, a presentation on ensuring the future of the Arts. He has served as a board member and consultant to many American and international arts organizations such as Cultures in Harmony, Ecuador's Sinfonia por La Vida, the Central Illinois Youth Symphony, and West Virginia University's College of Creative Arts.
A member of Juilliard's College and Pre-College faculties, he has worked with the Orchestral, Dance, Vocal, and Jazz divisions at Juilliard, as well as the Pre-College Symphony (PCS), for over seven years. His performances with PCS are a regular feature on WQXR, New York. He also regularly prepares the Juilliard Orchestra for esteemed guest conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Pierre Boulez, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Andre Previn. Through the Juilliard Global Initiative, he conducted the debut concert of the GURI Orchestra in Sao Paulo, Brazil (returning every year since) and worked with the Escuela Superior de Musica in Mexico City. At Ravinia, he conducted Classical Kids Live! productions of "Beethoven Lives Upstairs", "Tchaikovsky Discovers America", and "Mozart's Magnificent Voyage". In 2009, he finished a two-year collaboration with the Inter-School Orchestras culminating in concerts combining New York's public and private school musicians with students from the Juilliard School, Columbia University, and members of the Vienna Philharmonic. He recently taught conducting masterclasses at The Juilliard School and Illinois State University.
George Stelluto is Juilliard's only Artist Diploma recipient in conducting. He also holds two Master's Degrees (Violin & Conducting) from the Yale School of Music and a Bachelor's Degree in Violin from West Virginia University, summa cum laude. He has performed at many summer festivals both as a conductor and chamber musician, including Ravinia, Aspen, Peter Britt, Focus!, Kiev International, and Ukrainian Summer. He is the recipient of a 2012 ASCAP Award for Adventuresome Programming, the 2013 Illinois Council of Orchestra's "Orchestra of the Year Award", the Nevada Regents Creativity Award, and the Bruno Walter Memorial Fellowship to Juilliard.

Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays.
In this paper, I will be discussing at the America Imperialism in the nineteen century. With a brief summary about what is American Imperialism and also will include why the policy was adopted and how it was rationalized, talk about an event of the times.
"Imperialism is defined as the acquisition of control over the government and the economy of another nation, usually by conquest. The United States became am imperialistic world power in the late nineteenth century by gaining control over the Hawaiian Island and , after the Spanish war (1898) Guam, the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico"(Davidson, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, &Stroff. 2008, pg. G-4). The obstruction in foreign affair by the United States was not supported by everyone .In the year of 1899 the attempt to stop what some considered an invasion that was founded by the American Anti-Imperialist League.
What was the America Imperialism movement? The start of American Imperialism started with the Spanish-American war, which lead to American Imperialism Movement. Beginning in the late 1800's with an end this time America "turn the vision of an empire in more distance land in Asia, Latin American, they would come upon other nation-old imperial power, Great Britain, Belgium Spain, and new comer Germany and Japan".(Davidson, Delay,Heyrman, Lytle, &Stroff(2008)pg611). To try to understand we must realize what this mean for any country trying to build more wealth and try to gain more power, to take over and control of new territories. "Jose Marti returns to Cuba to renew the colony's struggle for independence for independence from Spain." (Davidson, Delay,Heyrman, Lytle, &Stroff(2008)pg616). Marti, he had cut railroad line, destroyed sugar mills, and set fire to the cane fields. Later on Spanish had struck back at Marti and his devotee with vicious force. The battle between United States and Spain had ended but before it was over Spanish-American War leave Spain overpowered and banished from the western Hemisphere, now that Cuba in free of Spanish rule, "the United States with new colonial possession in the Pacific and the Caribbean." "For better or worse, American moment had arrived (Davidson, Delay,Heyrman, Lytle, &Stroff(2008)pg617).
The United States adopted the policy of imperialism because United State saw the possible to have power over foreign markets and earn enormous amounts of money. "The speed and efficiency with which Europeans expanded prompted many Americans to argue for this European-style imperialism of conquest and possession". (Davidson, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, Stoff (2008) pg611).
Why was imperialism adopted and how was it rationalized. There is some reason why the policy adopted. The United Stated became the most power industrial in the world. Other countries were expansion their possibility by opening up new trade markets and commonly audacity of new colonies and indicating their strength. The United States engaged in several expansions that will include but not restricted to Hawaii, Philippines, and ultimately through the Spanish-American war of1898, Cuba.
"With Abraham Lincoln that "no man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent. When the white main governs himself, that is self government, but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more that self-government-that is despotism". (Fordham)
"The term imperialism has a negative sound to it, as it means a forceful or covert expansion into unwilling territories. However, it has also ushered many smaller countries onto the path of development. Following are some pros and cons of imperialism." (buzzle.com).
Most superpowers brought with them modern technologies and introduced industrialization in smaller nations, boosting the economy.
Introduced the concept of a democratically elected popular government to ensure political stability.
Education and scientific thinking was introduced and encouraged.
Better health care facilities were provided.
New transportation systems such as rail, road sea and air were introduced.
New languages, religions and a new way of life were introduced.
The imperialists countries gained cheap, efficient workforce.
Food production increased due to better farming methods. (buzzle.com).
Nations that resisted growth or expansions in their territory led to widespread genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Obtaining valuable natural resources became a bone of contention between the developed countries, resulting in political foul play.
New religions were forced upon and native belief was discredited.
Most traditional culture and languages were simply wiped away.
Natural resources were exploited, without giving actual due.
Labor was discriminated and forced into slavery, and had their basic rights taken away.
Many Asians and Africans were shipped to America and England, against their will as plantation slave labor. (buzzle.com).
"Imperialism has its own positive aspects, but in the longer run when greed takes over the reason for helping another nation, it leads to destruction of a nation, and generations to come are severely impacted by the actions of few." (buzzle.com).
" The people supported this decision because they believed in the manifest destiny of the United States, the need to bring democracy to all."( associatedcontent.com).
America had the potential to become one of the great powers of the world, but they had to break out of their isolated shell in order to gain power. (associatedcontent.com).

The frontrunners
Park Vista's Gaston Murray flirted with perfection last year, but came up a little short.
The Cobras senior did not lost a match, or even a set until last year's Class 4A state tournament. Murray won the individual singles title and took a one set lead on Benjamin Hwang of Whanton (Tampa) for the overall singles title, but Hwang rallied for the victory.
"My next goal has to be for my team to win district and regionals," said Murray, who was 19-1 last year for the Cobras and 34-4 in his career. "I would love to win a state title as a team. Winning as an individual was great, but a team would be even better."
"We are very excited, not only do I have Gaston, but my top three players are seniors and have all started since they were freshman," said Park Vista coach Luke Dulin, who is in his fifth year at the school. "I actually have six seniors on the team and hopefully that experience will take us a long way. These guys practice together and have known each other for a long time. This is my best team in five years."
Dulin, whose team lost 4-2 in the regional last year to the eventual state champion, Spanish River, said his team will have to play perfect tennis, eliminate unforced errors and play well to advance to state. He said the team has also concentrated on their doubles play.
St. Andrew's School's girls' team must find a way to replace Sun Sentinel Small Schools Player of the Year Rebecca Siegler, who graduated and is at Wake Forest. Siegler won the Class 1A individual state championship at No. 1 singles and was runner-up in overall singles and helped the Scots to the state title.
"I think we have a chance to be very good this year," said St. Andrew's coach Scott Williams, whose team won the fourth state championship in school history and first in 17 years.

Toni Morrison Quotes About HatredQuotes about: Hatred
It hit her like a sledgehammer, and it was then that she knew what to feel. A liquid trail of hate flooded her chest. Knowing that she would hate him long and well filled her with pleasant anticipation, like when you know you are going to fall in love with someone and you wait for the happy signs. Hating BoyBoy, she could get on with it, and have the safety, the thrill, the consistency of that hatred as long as she wanted or needed it to define and strengthen her or protect her from routine vulnerabilities.
They seemed to have taken all of their smoothly cultivated ignorance, their exquisitely learned self-hatred, their elaborately designed hopelessness and sucked it all up into a fiery cone of scorn that had burned for ages in the hollows of their minds― cooled ―and spilled over lips of outrage, consuming whatever was in its path.
Never did he once consider directing his hatred toward the hunters. Such an emotion would have destroyed him ... His subconscious knew what his min did not guess-that hating them would have consumed him, burned him up like a piece of soft coal, leaving only flakes of ash and a question mark of smoke.

19 August 2006 - Not The Housewarming Present They Would have Liked
Built over a three-year period with a construction cost of £390 million, the stadium replaced Arsenal's previous home, Highbury, and expanded the club's match-day capacity from 38,000 to over 60,300. A slightly less-than-capacity crowd of 60,023 turned up for the the first competitive game there on the Premier League's opening weekend, with Aston Villa as the guests of honor.
It was a close contest, remaining scoreless through the first half, but Villa managed to break the deadlock early in the second when captain Olof Mellberg headed home from a 53rd-minute corner kick.
Corner kicks became the theme of the day. Arsenal substitute Theo Walcott came on in the 73rd minute and, eleven minutes later, sent in a cross that dropped at the feet of midfielder Gilberto Silva, who prodded it home to earn a share of the points.

It looks just like spring baseball training camp, if you don`t scrutinize the players too closely. Coaches hand out pointers on stealing bases. There are strenuous workouts, batting and fielding practice, hot grounders, great catches, locker room camaraderie, sore muscles, famous names, autograph hunters.
But the big names go back a few years. And the rookies they`re playing with are paying for the chance to live out a dream of big-league baseball camp for a week or two out of a more prosaic real life.

Brooklyn Decker's Met Gala Diary
Posted by clau with No Comments
Brooklyn Decker's Met Gala Diary
By Lesley Messer
Follow on Twitter
May 7, 2013 8:32am
On Monday night, actors, singers, models, and designers flocked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the annual Met Gala–and because the theme this year was "Punk: Chaos to Couture," their looks had a decidedly hard edge. But how did they get red-carpet ready? ABC News asked actress Brooklyn Decker to keep a journal of her day to find out.
The "Just Go With It" actress, 26, says she started her day bright and early at 6 a.m. "to go spinning and get the juices flowing. I hope I don't fall asleep at dinner!"
But first it was time for breakfast: "I've been nibbling throughout the day to make sure I fit into my dress and don't faint," she writes. (See snack photo below!)
"After breakfast I got a manicure and pedicure in a shiny graphite to bring out the colors in my dress–a Peter Pilotto with beading that resembles their beautiful prints. It's probably the most 'me' dress I've ever worn to the Met!"
She met with her glam squad after.
"I hang out with my makeup artist, Patrick Defontbrune," she writes, "and decide to start putting on eyelashes three hours early."
But then things stopped going so smoothly.
"4pm, zipper emergency!" she writes. "It just broke. I'm going to have to be sewn into the dress! Getting undressed when I get back to the hotel [the Ace in Manhattan] is going to be a challenge."
One way to ease her nerves? Pretty, shiny things.
"My stylist, Annie Ladino, brings thousands of dollars of jewelry to choose from. Can I wear ten rings at once? And my hair stylist, Patrick Melville, and I discuss hair options. We decide on a pretty side part with a punk twist."
It's almost show time–and, according to Decker, a cocktail.
"I may have a second vodka soda to settle my nerves," she frets. "Red carpets terrify me!"
After stopping to chat with "Good Morning America" on the carpet, the actress made her way into the dinner party, where she mingled with models Kate Upton ("my boo!") and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
"My table included great American designers Calvin Klein and Donna Karan," she writes, adding that she was especially excited when Kanye West took the stage to perform. "I'm not sure if it's okay for me to sing along to the entire performance so I do it very quietly."
"What a thrill," she concludes. "[It was] an honor to be here!"

Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
Yesterday, we tackled Givenchy. Today it's on to one of the most anticipated shows in Paris: Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld turns it out season after season with a major production. All the shows in Paris are more dramatic and conceptual than New York. Often expansive (and expensive) sets are built just for that 15 minutes of catwalk time. Think icebergs and barnyards. Yes, barnyards. This season, the Palais Royale became an art gallery. Sounds like it looked pretty cool with actual paintings and sculptures hanging everywhere.
And as for the clothes. Well I loved just about every look. One of my favorite things about the world Karl Lagerfeld creates is that he never loses the classic Chanel-ness of it all. There are always tweeds and pearls, but they don't feel old-lady who lunches. Though I'm pretty sure there will be lots of old ladies who lunch wearing these pieces. Okay, maybe not the giant pearl necklace (get your minds out of the gutter!) as headphones. But still. So here's one of my favorite looks:
Let's start with how awesomely cool and comfy that rich, hot pink crochet dress is. (This dress also sparked an office-wide discussion about Winona Ryder's white crochet dress in Reality Bites which we are all still completely obsessed with.) I bet that fabric feels amazing. I'm going to the Chanel store once it comes in just so I can feel it in person and try it on for fun. It has the tweed feel without being tweed. J'adore.
Pretty much my favorite part of looking at any Chanel show is the accessories. My most prized fashion possessions are two Chanel bags that I bought back in my magazine days. They used to have these INSANE invite-only editor sales. There were rules about how many things you could buy and editors would follow each other around waiting to see what was left behind as people chose which items they were actually going to purchase. Each of the bags cost me $150 which is a ridiculous steal when it comes to Chanel. I love them so much and they will never go out of style. But I digress. In case you thought you were seeing things, you are not: The model is indeed carrying not one, but two clutches. Is this something real ladies will do? Yeah, don't think so. But it looks cool on the runway and I'm not mad at it. Later in the show there are even girls wearing multiple cross-body bags.
As for the shoes. Yes, those are sock shoes. And yes that is a thing. Do with that what you will.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't show you a close-up look at the rainbow of eye makeup happening. (Plus, you'll see the pearls as headphones situation I mentioned earlier!)
So let's hear what the rest of Team xoJane had to say about Chanel:
JANE: "There's a drop-waist pink and white checked dress in this collection that I want to make my new uniform. At the last Chanel show I went to -- also beautiful, but this one I like even better in terms of the volume of stuff I would actually wear in my everyday life -- I stepped on Amy Astley's toe and smushed Anna Wintour's knee getting past them to my seat. The end."
EMILY: "I would wear that hot pink dress right now, today. Put it on my body please. That is all."
MANDY: "Lena Dunham at the Oscars makeup with what I'm pretty sure Barbie Dream House clothes should be updated to be today because I love them and need them in my life."
LOUISE: "I had practically the same dress (not Chanel) in middle school. I wish I still had it. And I've always wanted platinum/white hair. I tried in high school. My bangs fell off."
HANNAH: "I really love that dress. It's like...sort of nautical but also super party-fancy, like a mermaid at a rave?"
OLIVIA: "I'm into any hairstyle that makes you look like you may fly away. Also, that necklace looks like a really glam version of those things they put on your head for electro-shock therapy and that makes me want it badly."
SOMER: "Robot models, beam me to your spaceship and teach me your eye makeup ways. Also, I am digging the two handbag thing."
LORI: "The hair is fab. So Debbie Harry!"
LAURA: "It's like a rainbow exploded on her face!"
Talk to me. What do you think of Spring/Summer 2014 Chanel?

Video commenting has long been the only way to provide feedback for YouTube videos, but this changed with the launch of YouTube Moderator this past Thursday. It's a pretty big deal because here we have a crowdsourcing social platform baked right inside the leading video sharing site on the web, allowing anyone to solicit questions on any topic and let the YouTube community vote the best ones up to to the top in real-time.
Basically the same product Google used internally to collect and sort viewers' questions in YouTube's live streamed interview with President Barack Obama in February is now available to all YouTube users and channels at youtube.com/moderator, provided your Google account is linked to your YouTube account. Simply go to your channel page and click on the "Modules" tab in the "Edit Channel" menu. The company explained how it works in a blog post:

Northwest Culture
Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest inhabited the narrow coastal area stretching from Alaska's Prince William Sound to Northern California. Extensive mountain ranges isolated them from the continent's interior. This culture region abuts the Far West and Subarctic culture regions.
The Alaskan and Canadian portions of this territory were populated by Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Bella Coola, Kwakiutl and Nootka tribes; the Puget Sound region by such various Coastal Salish tribes as the Nisqually, Samish, Squaxin, Stillaguamish, Suquamish, Swinomish, Upper Skagit, Tulalip, Puyallup, Nooksak; and the Oregon and Washington coasts by Makah, S'Klallam Hoh, Lummi, Muckleshoot, Quinault, Skokomish Quileute, Chehalis, Cowlitz, Chinook, Siletz, Tillamook, Coos, Umpqua, Siuslaw, Cow Creek Umpqua, Coquille, Grand Ronde, Latgawa and Takelmas tribes.
Northwest Native Americans were generally peaceful, though raids between villages were not uncommon. The Northwest economy was based on abundant natural resources, especially fish and wood. The people were atypically wealth-conscious, with a highly stratified society and a distinctive culture. Their lifestyle was organized and stable. They would later be influenced by European explorers, trappers and settlers.

The free time I had during the winter because of the bad weather is over :( Now it's work, work, work....
Today though, I had time to put back the steering column together. After a few hours it was done, with the shiny spring mounted :) But in the process I made so much scratches on the paint that I decided to take it apart again to repaint it :(
Fri, 23 apr 2010
The engine is complety revised and put back together ! Next week I'll have the frame back of the Vespa Douglas from the paintjob :) Hope to get her ready for our M&G of the scooterclub!
Sat, 24 apr 2010
Today worked on the axis of the frontwheel and got the new bearings for it. Problem is that I can't get the old bearing off! Put it in the vice...nothing :( Only thing I achieved is that the outer ring exploded ad left me with the inner ring stuck on the axis...
Sun, 25 apr 2010
It's evening, and I finally got the ring off!!! :) I used all kind of methods, even welded a bolt on the ring to prevent it turning in the vice while trying to get it off...nothing So I ended up using the grinding wheel, and the b*** is gone now! The axis is refitted in the steering column!
Sat, 1 may 2010
Big day ! :) The frame is back from the paintjob! She looks fantastic! :)))
The cables and electrical wires are all fitted! The best part of the restoration can start now :-)

The "Golden Age" of Commercial Air Flight
Once upon a time, multi-course meals were regularly served on airplanes. Caviar. Lobster. Filet mignon. Pheasant. Along with the gourmet foods were the glamour-girl stewardesses who served them. It was around that time that the guy sitting next to you could light up a cigarette when the plane took off and chain smoke throughout the flight, no matter how anyone else felt about it.
This video, a trailer for an upcoming program airing July 13th and 14th on the Smithsonian Channel, takes viewers back in time to when air travel was more about luxury than necessity. Via Nag on the Lake.

The Merrill and Stevens Point volleyball teams were hands down the top two teams in the Wisconsin Valley Conference last season.
SPASH handed Merrill its only conference loss in the final game of the regular season, but the Blue Jays were looking for revenge Thursday as these two opened the conference season.
Stevens Point started strong and hung with the defending conference champs early, but Merrill pulled away for a 3-1 win.
On the soccer field, Wausau East led the Valley entering Thursday, while SPASH did not have a conference loss. The Lumberjacks punched in a first half goal on a ricochet to go up 1-0 at half and added three more in the second to win 4-0.

A new poll from NBC New York and Marist College says that disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who lied to the American public about tweeting pictures of his junk to random women around the country, is now running a hard second in a potential mayoral matchup. Christine Quinn, the current Speaker of the House in New York, runs first with 26 percent of the vote; Weiner follows with 15 percent. While Nate Silver of the New York Times suggests that this number is actually limp for Weiner, given his 100 percent name recognition, it still gives him a leg up on the rest of the crowd.
It's no coincidence that Weiner is now preparing to get on his hands and knees before the public in New York. As USA Today reports, Weiner says "I think I'll be spending a lot of time, here on out, saying I'm sorry."
Weiner and his wife Huma are plastered on the new cover of the New York Times Magazine. He still refuses to answer questions about his tweet scandal. But it's clear he understands he's got to get the monkey of the story off his back, or he'll take a spanking at the ballot box. He says, "I have been excruciatingly honest, in letter by letter, detail by detail, with my wife. An embarrassing amount is in the public domain … But out of respect for the idea that I've laid it all out for her and out of some respect for the privacy of the people who were at the other end of these correspondences, who had their lives turned upside down, I am not going to go into the details of every bit of it."
Respect for his own possible mayoral run is more like it. He's relying on his new book, Keys to the City, to carry him to victory. According to Weiner, the penis apparently mightier than the rhetorical sword.
Ben Shapiro is Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News and author of the New York Times bestseller "Bullies: How the Left's Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America" (Threshold Editions, January 8, 2013).

Northwest and Southern Pinal County
On the far northwest side of Tucson, you will find properties that retain a very rural feel and yet are close enough to town to make shopping and services convenient. The small communities of Oracle and Catalina—as well as the far north end of Pima County, up to and beyond the Pinal County line—make great property choices for those needing some room to roam.
There is plenty of open space and land for sale as well as communities and homes with acreage and large yards in these areas. This also includes property located on the west side of the Tortolita Mountains and east of I-10.
Lots with incredible views, and mature high-desert vegetation offer any home builder a great opportunity to build their ideal house. If you are looking for an acreage property which includes a home— and possibly other structures such as horse or livestock facilities, gardens, mother-in-law houses, artists studios or workshops—you will find one in this part of town.
The cozy communities of Catalina and Oracle offer a nice combination of neighbors and, large-lot zoning as well as shopping and dining in-town. If your preference is to find a large ranch-like property where you will truly have the place all to yourself, you will find your land here.
So bring the chickens, bring the horses, bring the dogs and the kids! Plant the perfect garden and spend your evenings gazing at the sunset on the desert. Debbie Green knows this area well and appreciates the happiness that a rural Arizona lifestyle can provide.

The 'Fringe' Premiere: What We Now Know
We've watched the show, and we have answers -- and naturally, more questions.
After months of Internet speculation about it, Fringe (the brainchild of Lost leader J.J. Abrams and the bums who wrote Transformers) finally debuted last night. Even before the pilot's air date, though, most people knew the basics of its story, which established the show's central characters — tough-gal FBI agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), crazy genius Walter Bishop (John Noble), and Bishop's roguish son Peter (Joshua Jackson) — and set up Fringe's overriding narrative about a shady super-corporation which is behind a string of fringe-science phenomena occurring around the globe. But now that we've watched the show, we have more answers — and naturally, more questions.
• Fringe is going for an X-Files vibe with its sci-fi mysteries, paranoid bent, and mismatched partners dealing with a case of sexual tension. It seems pretty obvious the show will develop their relationship as it goes on, but since Peter is a bit of a drip, may we suggest Olivia go for her jerky boss, Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick), instead? At least that would be truly unexpected.
• Anna Torv — Olivia — kinda looks like Cate Blanchett, huh?
• After being hired by the government to work on fringe-science experiments, genius scientist Walter went cuckoo and has been locked away in an asylum for the last seventeen years. This fact sets up a moment during the pilot where the good doctor watches an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants with wide-eyed admiration. Unwittingly, Bishop has just fallen prey to the Meet Joe Black Principle, which states that if a character has been away from society long enough, he will treat modern-day trivialities as if they're the most wondrous things ever.
• Also, if Walter is such a super-egghead, why does his sensory-deprivation chamber require you to be submerged in water and wearing only underwear to work?
• Seriously, Anna Torv looks exactly like Cate Blanchett.
• Massive Dynamic is the name of the show's colossal corporation. We know that, besides being on the cutting edge of scientific breakthroughs, the corporation is also totally evil because the company's offices have the clean, spare, all-white look that fiendish organizations always choose in sci-fi films.
• If the pilot's any indication, during pressure-cooker situations, Peter will be called on to make sarcastic comments and clench his jaw.
• Also, in HD, Peter's perfectly manicured stubble is hypnotic.
• We never get tired of the conceit in sci-fi shows that if someone is in critical condition from a horrible, unknown infection that has rendered him unrecognizable and on death's door, not only will the cure work almost instantly, the person will show almost no sign of the trauma afterward.
• While the bigger effects scenes were impressive — like the plane-load of people whose flesh evaporates — the coolest moment was Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) revealing her robotic arm. Promise us she's gonna use that thing later on in the series.
• The collection of fringe-science phenomena going on in the world is known as the Pattern, again proving that if you capitalize any mundane word and put a "the" in front of it, you can make it sound spooky.
• Near the pilot's end, Dunham and an associate decry the unstoppable power and treachery of modern-day corporations. We're sure they don't mean Fox, though — just, y'know, the bad corporations.

In an area impacted by just about every type of weather event, from miniscule dust devils to far-reaching tropical storms, weather watchers typically focus on one aspect of Tucson's variegated climate: the Arizona Monsoon. Located far in the Sonoran Desert, Tucson is ruled in summer by intense sun. During the early part of each summer, the sun's heat bears down through dry air; predominant westerly winds carry little moisture after cresting numerous mountain ranges en route from the cold Pacific to Tucson. But around late June to early July of each summer, this wind flow changes from westerly to predominantly southerly and southeasterly—the "Monsoon"—due primarily to seasonal shifts in the jet stream. Unlike the westerly airflow, however, monsoon winds carry moisture—large quantities of moisture.

So Tweetie spent much of yesterday twisting her head around until her beak could reach the collar. You can't see it from the photo, but she shredded the gauze and tape pretty solidly. But she couldn't reach the joining, because I accidentally taped that to her back feathers. It's locked in place until the vet releases it with a special wash.
When she realized that tactic wouldn't work, she started climbing around the cage. At first, I couldn't figure out why she was hanging upside down from the cage top, not until I glanced over and saw the collar hanging from her head. She used gravity and wriggling to get it off, which sounds like some decently sophisticated engineering to me. Not bad for 38 grams of feathered fluff.
As far as I was concerned, that move was a declaration of war. Granted, she'd probably decided the same thing of me a day or two ago. I had to grab her, hold her still (not easy), and slide the collar back over her head (harder) without yanking out her taped-down feathers (hardest).
After the collar was once more in place, I put her back in the cage while I looked around for an alternative solution. Her answer, of course, was to immediately climb back to the cage top and hang upside down, wriggling. Not good for me. Now the clock's ticking, gravity dragging the collar back off while I scuttle around thinking frantically. I. Will. NOT. Be outwitted by a parakeet.
A cardboard box was the best solution I could find. I punched in air holes, tossed some litter and chopped-up yarn into the bottom for a nest, arranged the water bottle, stuck a millet spray through a hole, put the bird inside, and set a metal grille on the top. Pretty pleased with myself, until I looked over and saw her hanging upside down from the metal grille, scraping the collar against the bottom. Yep, the box wasn't tall enough. Not. Gonna. Surrender.
In retaliation, I stood up the box flaps, taped them in place, and moved the metal grille higher, beyond her reach. Score one for the home team. Now I'd effectively locked her into a prison. She still spent the rest of the evening scratching at the cardboard walls with her beak, looking for either a weak spot or a way to climb to the grille.
My husband's starting to consider this bird demonic. Okay, with some cause.
Her injury is still red, although the swelling is down now that she can't chew on it, and it's forming a nice scab. It gets washed with the weak iodine solution Dr Kiker of the Atascazoo gave me, three times a day, whether Tweet likes it or not. (And she doesn't.) I'm also continuing the Baytril antibiotics and Metacam anti-inflammatory orally, once daily. Her bottle contains a 325mg aspirin dissolved in 250mL of purified water, changed three or four times per day.
Next project is to figure out how to get a feed dish in there that she can use with her tattered fashion statement. She's got a millet spray, but that's hardly the best nutrition.
Oh, yes, and she still screams at me every time I look in on her. Nothing has been forgiven. She'll get me yet.

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine dans la maison de Dan. C'est une maison spacieuse à proximité de la plage et avec des douches extérieures bien pratiques.
Nous avons aussi apprécié le fait de pouvoir amener notre chien.
The place was nice, clean and well maintained. We were close to everything which was a great bonus. It was wonderful to not have to drive to anything that we were in close proximity to all of the fun and places to dine. Just a couple of things I would like to have seen, Better mattresses, an iron, better t.v's in the 2 other bed rooms, not having to wash and dry your the sheets prior to leaving. Washing I think is fine, but waiting around for them to dry when I could have been on the road early and avoiding traffic. I would have preferred being told ahead of time we were on the 3rd floor, but all in all it was a great trip. I would definatley rent this property again.
Nice place and good location. Owner has the air conditioner set on 76 which is a bit warm (I put my air on 76 when no one is home lol). Couple that with a broken ceiling fan in the master bedroom and the fact that it is a third floor unit - it was a sleepless sweaty week. If you like it cool this is not the place for you. Also I was supposed to get my security deposit back in 45 days and after a few emails I finally got it back after 62 days. Garage door was also broken so couldn't keep my bike there. Not a great experience. I had read the other good reviews before booking but now realize they were all very old reviews.
I was up in the air as to where I wanted to stay in Wildwood, but after our vacation last week I was sure I made the right decision. The condo was located close to everything I wanted to be near. I like the night life when on vacation, and this condo was in walking distance of a few of my favorite places. It was clean, comfortable and everything was in working order. The condo was roomy and Fran the owner was very accommodating. With the spacious two car garage located on the ground floor I was able to bring my bicycle down, ride it every morning, then store it and not worry about it. Also, with this garage parking was never a problem either. I would recommend this condo to all my friends and relatives and I hope to stay there again. The beach in Wildwood is pretty far from the boardwalk, but we solved this problem by heading down Pacific Avenue to the beach in N. Wildwood across from Westy's. There was plenty of parking there, it only cost $1.50 per hour to park, and the beach was close to parking lot.
What a wonder warm week away from home, this place is perfect for a family with teenagers, everything is in walking distance from the house. Cool morning walks on the beach and tanning in the afternoon. You could never get bored on this boardwalk something for everyone, games, rides, shops, food ect. The house was very roomy and had everything we needed, i ecspecially liked the 2 car garage for parking. We took a short 40 minute ride up to Atlantic City one of the days and another 10 minute ride to Cape May for jet skiing. All in all we had a great time.
The location was great. Close to boardwalk and the beach. A quiet neighborhood with relatively new condos on the whole block. Having the washer/dryer was a plus... it was sooooooooooo hot in Wildwood (92 degrees on one day) and we were soaked from sitting in the hot sun. The condo was comfortable we could relax and watch TV with no disruptions. Fran made it easy to get paperwork done quickly since we only had a week before our date. Bright, airy and comfortable.

On January 11 to 13, 2005, a diverse group of researchers, program managers, and ecosystem and marine resource managers were brought together to determine the coordinated research needed to support better understanding of marine ecosystems in the Northeast region of the United States and of the impacts of climate variability and the human population on these ecosystems. The long-term goal of such a coordinated research effort is to improve ecosystem-based approaches to marine resources management in the Northeast.
Climate variability that changes water properties and transports is apparent at time scales of several years and longer. Marine animals at higher trophic levels live several years or longer. Variability in the catch of finfishes and shellfishes has been seen at the several year and longer time scales. The challenge is to distinguish marine resource changes due to human impacts from those resulting from natural forcing, especially climate variability and change.
To initiate discussion, four focus areas were identified prior to the workshop: harmful algal blooms, nutrients and contaminants, fisheries, and biodiversity conservation. Dialog among the participants on the key issues and challenges in these four areas, both from scientific and management perspectives, was used to draw out the common and pressing needs for efforts in the areas of research, observations, modeling, education, and outreach. The workshop concluded by prioritizing the needs and laying out a recommended time line for coordinated research over the next decade.
Discussed in greater detail in section IV the key recommendations are to:
• Assess the horizons of predictability and management, using research to find the limitations on the deterministic and probabilistic models required for forwardlooking management strategies.
• Establish a baseline for identifying ecosystem change and thus for managing and conducting research in the Northeast by using field surveys, retrospective analyses, facilitated data exchange, and facilities for sample archiving.
• Develop improved predictive capabilities for the Northeast, built around an integrated ecosystem model approach, which considers multiple abiotic and biotic factors and assesses the role of climate change in comparison with other sources of natural and human induced change. Drive model improvement with strong links
between sustained observations and comprehensive studies of processes.
• Build the Northeast observing system, establishing sustained observations at key sites and broad surveys in the domain and of the estuarine, atmospheric, alongshore, and offshore exchanges within the region in order to provide the data required to initialize, test, and improve climate and ecosystem models and management tools.
• Conduct comprehensive research studies characterized by high temporal and spatial sampling to address key uncertainties, determine and resolve critical processes, and build improved understanding, parameterizations, and models.
• Develop a system for an adaptive approach to management of the Northeast ecosystem resources, with research embedded in the cycle of evaluation and improvement of the management tools and methods and with facilitated flow of data, analyses, and results to managers as well as of management feedback to the
• Foster ongoing dialog among climate, ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries researchers, ecosystem and fisheries managers, marine resource stakeholders, the general public, and the NOAA goal teams and program managers to support the adaptive management system, to integrate observations and research results, to effectively disseminate research results, and to guide future observations and research.
Based on considerations of readiness, impact, and sequential progress the following phasing is
Phase 1 (near-term, 0 – 3 years):
• Initiate development of a baseline assessment (collect and assemble existing data, carry out retrospective analyses, integrate results from current field surveys). As part of this development, facilitate the exchange across the community of the diverse data types (e.g., physical oceanographic, fisheries, atmospheric forcing, catch, biodiversity, population variability across a range of trophic levels).
• Identify the priority elements of the Northeast observing system (agree on key sites as sentinel and reference sites, agree on indicator species, develop enhancements to present repeat broad scale sampling, integrate and coordinate all possible sampling elements including those for the critical estuarine, atmospheric, open ocean and adjacent coastal exchanges, and identify the need for new sensors and sampling methods) and the sequence of more intense sampling studies needed.
• Assess the coverage of climate and ecosystem issues provided by present models and observations and develop strategies for moving toward integration of all trophic levels and multiple forcing functions.
• Initiate the program to assess the horizons of predictability, probing the reasons for limitations on skillful prediction. As part of this identify key data (initialization, validation), parameterization, and understanding (realistic incorporation of all key physical and biological processes, realistic models of elements of the system) needs.
• Initiate a working group of researchers (observationalists, modelers, and analysts; climate, ecosystems, fisheries, policy), managers, marine resource stakeholders, and NOAA climate and ecosystems goal team staff to continue interaction, and to embed the research process in a plan for adaptive management of the ecosystems of the Northeast; repeat the Workshop every two years to review progress and improve research plans.
Phase 2 (3-7 years):
• Complete the baseline assessment (including comprehensive field surveys of bathymetry, substrate, biodiversity, and retrospective analyses).
• Establish sustained observations at key sentinel and reference sites; begin the high intensity process studies addressing the shortfalls in predictive skill and understanding.
• Produce and validate improved surface forcing fields; integrate improved surface meteorological and air-sea flux observations (buoys, towers, ships) with improved regional atmospheric and climate models.
• Establish partnerships, agreements and cooperative efforts to obtain data from the boundaries of the region: the coast, the open ocean, the coastal ocean to the north, and the coastal ocean to the south.
• Begin building the integrated ecosystems model system, drawing upon the models used as building blocks by the research community and supporting a consortium to do the integration; provide operational and research model results to the community, placing an emphasis on having a good regional climate model, accurate surface forcing to drive ocean models, biological models that span the trophic levels, integration of the component models, and assessment of uncertainties in predictions.
• Institute model validation experiments, keying on the intense sampling studies, time series at key sites, and broad scale sampling to examine different models and using the historical data collected for the baseline assessment to test hindcast results.
Phase 3 (7-15 years):
• Build the integrated ecosystem model system into a Northeast region adaptive ecosystem-based approach to marine resource management, developing the products sought by managers; target prediction of decadal scale variability and longer term change as the goal of this phase.
• Operate and improve the Northeast observing system to support and improve the model system; embed it in and link it to the ocean, atmosphere, and land observing systems that provide key knowledge of fluxes at the boundaries. Where possible, develop and include automated observing systems for key biological elements such as plankton, intertidal organisms, and benthos.
• Carry out comprehensive studies to resolve processes, build parameterizations, and test and improve models.
• Institute a 4-year cycle to document change in the physical and biological systems of the Northeast, the success of models (predictive and hindcast) describing variability and change in these systems, the effectiveness of the observing system, and the success and continuing challenges of an ecosystem-based approach to management in the Northeast.

Sand eel
Sand eel or sandeel is the common name used for a considerable number of species of fish. Most of them are sea fish of the genera Hyperoplus (greater sand eels), Gymnammodytes or Ammodytes. Many species are found off the western coasts of Europe from Spain to Scotland, and in the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas.
The three genera listed above all fall within the family Ammodytidae, the sand lances. Members of these genera found in other oceans are not usually called sand eels, and species from other parts of the world are known as sand eels are usually less closely related. None of the sand eels is related to the true eels.
Sand eels are an important food source for seabirds, including puffins and kittiwakes.
A preferential habitat is a seabed floor, with a relatively smooth bottom of gravelly sand; an example of this prime habitat is the floor of the Sea of the Hebrides.[1] Sand eels typically burrow in the sand to escape from predators.
Commercial fishing[edit]
Traditionally, they have been little exploited for human food, but are a major target of industrial fishing for animal feed and fertilizer. Increasing fishing for them is thought to be causing problems for some of their natural predators, especially the auks which take them in deeper water. They are also tied as flies to catch fish.
An instance of this was the RSPB report linking a population crash of seabirds in the North Sea to fishing for sand eels. This led to political pressure for the closure of this fishery; the seabird populations subsequently improved.
