There is no way to punish the advance variation. It is one of the main answers to the caro cann and perhaps one of the best.
An interesting way to fight the advance is to play 3. ... c5. If white responds correct it is probably slightly worse than 3. ... Bf5 but it is playable (people like svidler and kramnik employed it). But more often than not (even at 2200 level) white plays too passive leading to variations of the french advance without the locked in bisshop giving black a slightly better game.
3.Nc3 allows black to transpose to the Modern Defense with 3...g6. Players at the 1500-1600 level are aware of transpositions, but not well versed on the openings that their opponent can choose to transpose to. In other words, they know how to play the White side of the Advance Variation of the Caro-Kann, but know little or almost nothing about how to play the White side of the Modern Defense Opening.

Yeah, 3...c5 made me really dislike the caro advance. Now I either go for the classical or panov.
The official response is the counter inituative 4. dxc5 followed by Bb5. Personally I think 4. c4 is stronger though
I play the caro -kann as black about 20% of the time and play 3...Bf5 if I get the 3e5 advance. It is usually a bit slow at first, but black's object is to eventually wiggle his kingside knight up to the same f5 square and he stands well.
Suggest you look over several master games.
From a Principled point of view 3. Nc3 would be the best move out of the 5 book move options Tarrasch gives me on move three.
If we would look to some Chess Principles.
- Generally, to take is a Mistake ( Igor Smirnov explains to you on YouTube ).
- You should try not to release the Tension, you should keep the Tension. And the best thing you can do is to Intensify the Tension ( 3. Nc3 keeps the Tension by Defending the Pawn, and Increases the Tension by attacking the Pawn of the Opponent. ). Igor Smirnov Explains on YouTube.
- The best Role Pieces can have is an Offensive one, and at the same Time a Defensive one.
- Black is already down in Developement and White is ahead. Also, Black cannot develope his Knight to its Natural Square and ( temporarily ) Blocks the Bishop if it goes to d7. an advantage in Developement is less important in closed Positions than in open ones.
- Two Pawns next to each other are the Strongest ones. Keep it like that as long as Possible.
- Keep your Pawns Flexible as long as possible.
- Releasing the Tension reduces your Options [ Since white is '' winning '' and black is '' losing '', black wants a draw and White wants Posibilities for a Win, as such, it is Paradoxal to release the Tension and give Black more Drawing chances.
- Keep your opponent Guessing ( thus not showing your cards and advance the pawn to soon ). This increases the chance for your opponent to make an innacuracy/mistake/blunder.
We can go on. Ofcourse, there can be also something positive said for the Advance, but really, from a Principled Point of view, and from a Shuffle Chess and Chess 960 Mindset [ no opening knowledge ], 3. Nc3 is the best move.
One more Principle for if Black takes the pawn on e4.
According to the semi-open files, White attacks kingside whereas black attacks queen-side.Castling usually goes at kingside. the king-side attacker always has a general advantage in the rough perspective of '' queenside player has to defend and attack. kingside player can only focus on attack. queenside player has more chance to make mistakes, and his/her threats are less severe than that of the kingsideplayer. ''
I have a schuffle chess model-game against Rybka v2.3.2a.mp.w32 posted on this Chess-Site showing that the kingside attacker has an advantage.
You may also say in favor of the queenside player that the King can be used as a Defending Piece. nuff said.
@finalunpurez: There are in my opinion several mistakes in your analysis.
1) In the variation with 4. dxc5 after Nc6 white is probably better of playing Bb5 instead of Nf3 since Nf3 will run into Bg4 (getting the bischop out the chain and renewing the pressure on d4). Therefor i would consider the move 5. ... e6 as a a doubtful move.
2) In your main variation you let black play 4. .. e6 this is a serious blunder as the resulting position is the french with a tempo less for black.I would suggest a move like Nc6
The whole idea of the 3. .. c5 variation is to get into the french advance with where blacks white squared bishop is outside his pawn chain. The fact that this is at the cost of a tempo does not matter to much since the position is closed.
@Defence4Giz: while ofcourse nothing is wrong with the Nc3 move your argumentation is wrong.
- There is no way white can keep the tension (or keep your pawns flexible) in the center as taking on e4 with d5 is by far the strongest reply from black and also in in line with the rules of chess strategy that state that in the opening black should try to trade the pawn on e4 by the pawn in d5.
- White has a small lead in development after Nc3 but this lead cannot be maintained because after 3 ... dxe4 4. Nxe4 black has several ways to attack whites knight that will then have to move for a 3th time thus basicly negating his development lead
Also from a principle point of view a lot of positive things can be said about the advance variation. Though Tarrash was a brilliant chess player and teacher his teaching are put to the question by those of for example Nimzowitch. The theory of pawn chains is a very important part of this theory and by advancing his pawn white intends to build a long pawn chain from b2 to e5. This pawn chain gives all kinds of positional and tactical motives.Next to the pawn chain white also has the space advantage another important strategic device
In other words your argumentation on Nc3 is wrong. There is nothing wrong with the move but there is with your explanation why. People who play Nc3 generally are players who like open center positions.
There is nothing wrong with advancing the e4 pawn. Both from a theoretical point of view (currently the advance is seen as whites best chance for an opening advantage) as from a principled way (pawn chain theory, space advantage etc)
I just find it funny that they play the Advance against you. In my neck of the woods (Southeastern United States, and I'm about 2050 USCF Rating), anybody rated below 1900 seems to always play the stupid Exchange Variation, figuring after 4.Bd3 that it plays like an Exchange QGD with the colors reversed and they get an extra move, so Bf4 is easier to get in than ...Bf5 is in the QGD.
Of course, I only play the Caro-Kann on occasion these days. My best results come from 1...e5 and 1...g6.

I've noticed something about players around my level(15/1600) and how they respond to the caro-kann. I lived and died by the Sicilian against 1. e4 for virtually my entire chess playing "career", but have gotten interested in learning the caro-kann recently. However, every time I play this opening, literally EVERY time, players around my level respond with 3. e5 instead of 3. Nc3. Is there a reason for this? It's frustrating playing the advance variation EVERY game, when I'd like to learn the other lines as well.
Is there a way to punish the advance variation?
As you progress in your chess adventure you will come to see the Caro-Kann as a drawing weapon. The best punishment for a strong White player is having to accept a draw from a weaker opponent. In his quest to win a tournament a strong player considers his games as White to be his best opportunities to score a full point, especially against weaker opponents.
In addition, as Black, you are saying, "...Not only are you supposedly a stronger player than I am, but you have the White pieces., you have the initiative, and yet you failed to prove White's birthright.
@Transpo as you progress your chess advantures you will see Caro Kann is not a drawing weapon. Opposed to an opening like the Sicilian where black directly from the start tries to create imbalance the Caro Kann tries to first create equality and then win in the endgame.
In general the fight is between the white space advantage and blacks generaly superior pawn position. This means that exchanging pieces is generally in favor for black (this is why Caro Kann got his reputation for drawing) but once black fends of whites attack he actually has very good chances to win.
People who use Caro Kann as a drawing weapon tend to lose with it as remaining passive and let white gets the favored position of his pieces is a quite sure way to lose
The Caro-Kann offers less in the way of direct counter-chances than other semi-open defenses, and involves less risk as a consequence, but it is not some "drawing" opening. Black develops freely with no weaknesses, so White must be very accurate to keep any sort of advantage in the opening. An inaccuracy or two can put Black in the driver's seat very quickly.

R.A. Dickey had the professional baseball season of his dreams. After more than 10 years in the Minor Leagues and multiple ups and downs with Major League teams, last year Dickey landed a starting pitcher's job with the New York Mets. He made the most of it, posting a 20-6 record with an 2.73 ERA, leading the league in strikeouts on what was a very mediocre Mets team. He pitched in the All-Star Game. Nov. 15 and won the Cy Young Award, the highest individual honor for a Major League pitcher.
His biography, "Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest for Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball" (Blue Rider Press, 2012) with Wayne Coffey is compelling. Raised in poverty with an absent father and alcoholic mother, he survived childhood sexual abuse.
On the day he was to sign a lucrative contract with the Texas Rangers, a medical report indicated that he had a congenital muscle condition in his pitching arm. The offer was rescinded. Determined to succeed despite his physical limitations, Dickey mastered the mysterious knuckleball, thrown by only a handful of successful professional pitchers in history.
Bouncing around the Minor Leagues, living on odd jobs and the devotion of his wife, he tried everything to make it into the Big Leagues, to no avail. A born-again Christian, Dickey betrayed all who loved him and himself by committing adultery. After confessing his failure to the mother of his three children, he lived on his own and contemplated suicide. It was only through his wife's patience and understanding, the support of friends, teammates and an excellent therapist that Dickey has been able to rebuild his life. And all this while learning to pitch the knuckleball.
Finally, at the age of 37, he has found peace within. He has reconciled with those who love him.
Dickey's biography is confessional. His story is so much my story – so much like all of our stories. He has overcome brokenness and pain, while stumbling along the way. He has tried to learn from his mistakes. He honors the ones who have stuck with him even when he didn't deserve it. He has discovered the loving God who welcomes home the prodigal son and daughter (Luke 15) again and again.
I am rooting for R.A. Dickey and all of the R.A. Dickeys of the world!

Wheat growers in Northeast Texas should be alert for potentially damaging greenbug infestations.
Moderate greenbug populations have been found in most area wheat fields and are beginning to colonize the plants as evidenced by mature greenbugs surrounded by the smaller immatures (nymphs). The local greenbug populations have not been established very long, but it would be prudent to keep a close eye on them.
When conditions are ideal for reproduction, populations can increase up to 20 fold in one week, although a 5 or 6-fold jump is more likely. Greenbugs cause more damage than other aphids in wheat because they inject a toxin into the plant when they feed. Heavily damaged plants may not recover, and do not produce a normal grain yield. Heavy feeding causes localized leaf tissue damage, which can ultimately cause death of the leaf. If several leaves are affected on small plants, the whole plant may die.
Growers should consider the following three factors before making a greenbug spray decision:
Plant size — Large plants can tolerate up to three times as many greenbugs as small plants that have not completed the tillering process.
Fertility — Plants that are lush and actively growing can tolerate higher populations than plants that are under stress from inadequate fertility or unfavorable growing conditions.
Time of year — Late fall and early winter greenbug populations can explode, increasing by as much as twenty-fold in one week. This is because greenbugs thrive and reproduce rapidly in cooler temperatures that do not favor beneficial insects. Our most important beneficial, a tiny parasitic wasp, becomes active as temperatures increase. In late February and early March, this little wasp begins to parasitize the aphids, which rapidly reduces greenbug populations.
Greenbugs can be controlled with insecticides at a reasonably low cost. Since these are the heaviest populations we have seen in a number of years, growers should scout fields carefully for damaging greenbug populations and be prepared to treat if necessary.
Adding an insecticide to the topdress nitrogen application is a common practice in this region but is not sound. Topdressing before the middle of February can result in excessive nitrogen loss through leaching and denitrification, which would reduce potential grain yield by 6 to 15 bushels per acre (local research data).
When greenbugs are a problem this early, a better option is to spray the greenbugs and hold off the nitrogen application for a few weeks. Optimum time to dribble the nitrogen fertilizer solution on the crop would be between February 15 and March 1. With wheat at $3.00, why give up $18 to $45 in wheat sales per acre just to save an application charge?

Caffeine-Free Hot Drinks: 5 Alternatives to Coffee and Tea
Whether you're sensitive to the caffeine in tea and coffee or simply looking for something different, there's a wide world of alternatives. Some are delicate, like "white coffee" made from orange blossom water, while others are earthy and robust, like rooibos or roasted barley tea. Here are a few of our recommendations for caffeine-free hot drinks. What are your favorites?
• 1 Herbal Teas - From hibiscus to mint to chamomile, the possibilities are practically endless when it comes to herbal teas or tisanes.
• 2 Rooibos - With its naturally sweet, woody, tobacco-y flavor, rooibos has a depth that makes it a good alternative to coffee.
• 3 Roasted Grains - For an earthy, roasted flavor, try Korean (and Japanese) teas made from barley (bori cha), corn (oksusu cha), or brown rice (hyeonmi cha).
• 4 White Coffee - This Lebanese after-dinner beverage is made with sweet-scented orange flower water.
• 5 Ginger Honey Lemon Tonic - Perfect for chilly winter days, and particularly soothing for sore throats and stomach aches.
And, of course, there's always decaf coffee.

I made a crisp, raw kale salad with roasted butternut squash, toasted pine nuts and crumbled gorgonzola. It's a one-dish meal you can make in large batches, pack in tupperware and eat when you're on-the-go.
I flavored the salad with a yogurt dressing and a touch of gorgonzola for extra flavor. The health-conscious can omit the cheese, of course.

Planned road work on I-85 could affect commute
Planned road work on I-85 could affect commute
A portion of Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County will have two lanes closed this week to make repairs to the road.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation said the two northbound lanes at mile marker 76.
Both the right and center lanes will be closed for about 36 hours starting 8 p.m. Sunday and the right lane will be closed for an additional 48 hours to allow the new concrete to settle.The SCDOT officials say they expect all lanes to be back open by the morning rush hour on Thursday.
If you're traveling from Greenville to Charlotte, take business 85, exit 69, to bypass the construction.

Four Nations Previews - Week 1
Australia v New Zealand
The 2011 Four Nations tournament kicks off on Saturday from Warrington in the UK when the Kangaroos play New Zealand at Halliwell Jones Stadium. The Wolves' home ground will dish up a maximum of 13 degrees and for those of you excited enough to wake up at 6am on Saturday morning, you will see a game of footy that may take a while to warm up. The first game of the series will see Australia better prepared and the Kiwis defensive liabilities shown up again.
As we saw in the 4 nations trial match in Newcastle, New Zealand have a fairly new backline and this has damaged their cohesion. Especially with a player like Benji Marshall running the show, it will take the likes of Lewis Brown and Kevin Locke a few more games to get used to his rhythm. Speaking of rhythm, no team marches to a better beat of the drum than the Australians. Once again it will be Smith, Thurston, Lockyer and Slater in charge and the rest is history - and another 30 point blowout.
Tip: Australia 36-6

by Leslie TennantDirector of CommunicationsCommunity College of Beaver County, Monaca, PA
Long before entrepreneurship became the buzzword it is today, Community College of Beaver County recognized that the survival of our community would rely on business entrepreneurs generating an economic turn-around for Western Pennsylvania.
In 2005, the Board of Trustees along with CCBC President Dr. Joe Forrester identified promoting entrepreneurship education as a long-term priority and an essential part of enhancing economic development and revitalizing a community in transition. In 2008, two faculty presenters, John Goberish and Paul Rogers, received a grant to develop the entrepreneurship program and based on that successful grant, in 2009, CCBC hosted the national Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour highlighting youth involvement in these types of programs.
One of the keys to CCBC's successful approach to entrepreneurship education has been to create the opportunity to introduce or expand entrepreneurial education in local school districts and to create a pathway from middle school and high school to credit and non-credit offerings at the college. CCBC has accomplished this by engaging two key organizations within our community – the Franklin Center of Aliquippa and Entrepreneuring Youth, a non-profit educational and entrepreneurial program that provides real life experiences in business creation so young people acquire knowledge and skills essential for academic success and economic security.
Summer Biz Camp
CCBC, Entrepreneuring Youth (E Youth) and the Franklin Center of Aliquippa sponsored two six-week business camps for 34 middle and high school students in Beaver County during the months of June, July and August. The intermediate camp, BlueSky Biz™, introduced 18 youth to the world of entrepreneurship while the Advanced Business Camp deepened the ownership experience for 16 young people who had already attended the intermediate camp last year.
The foundation of each camp was built on business ownership. Through a variety of interactive and hands-on learning activities, field trips and guest speakers, these young people discovered how a small business is created and generates profits and had the opportunity to envision themselves as founders and owners of an enterprise that they created.
"In keeping with the mission of CCBC, the Biz Camp is reaching out to the community in areas not normally serviced by our core courses and curriculum," stated John Goberish, manager of CCBC's Continuing Education Division. "The involvement of middle school youth in entrepreneurship programs helps begin the pathway for business options at any point in a student's education."
From the very first day participants were highly engaged and accountable for choices that led to the opportunity to make money (and keep the profits!). Based on interests, skills and opportunity recognition, the young people selected businesses ranging from customized crafts like jewelry, healing cream and personalized greeting cards to services such as gardening, tutoring and babysitting.
During the camp, participants took part in two capstone events. The first was a Market Day where they were able to sell their products to the public at the Beaver Valley Mall. Armed with business cards, brochures and engaging sales pitches these young people experienced the exhilaration of making a sale.
"The biggest benefit of our involvement in Biz Camp is to see the kids take an idea from abstract dream to concrete reality and to watch the dawning of recognition on their faces when they first realize that, yes, I can do this and be successful. The life skills that they walk away with at the end of camp are invaluable," said Sandy Edwards, education director for the Franklin Center
The second event was a Business Plan Competition, held at CCBC, which let the young entrepreneurs present their business plan to judges chosen from the college, local businesses, and the community. Three finalists were chosen from each camp and received monetary awards in recognition of their achievement. The ownership experience helped these young people see how 'my goals' and 'my education' are inextricably linked. They realize just how much they already influence and control their lives.
At the end of camp, the students take away great delight from making money and great pride from creating and selling something they are passionate about and enjoy doing as a possible future career path.
"Individuals and organizations that possess an entrepreneurial mindset will be more innovative, will be more adaptable, will strive to challenge the status quo, and will create more opportunities for our region," stated Goberish. "Entrepreneurship is about being empowered, taking action, and creating new opportunities rather than passively waiting for opportunity to find us."
And, CCBC is doing just that.

(Reuters) - Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick has been suspended for four games after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs, the NFL reported on Monday.
Scandrick will be eligible to return to action on October 5 against the Houston Texans.
Entering his seventh season in the NFL, Scandrick started 15 of 16 games for the Cowboys last season. He had 64 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
His absence will further weaken a Dallas defense already missing key players due to injury.

With the economic conditions that we've endured in recent months, getting in a Thanksgiving mood may take a little work this year.
But it shouldn't.
In an ideal world, gratitude should be our natural response to the many things we DO have – regardless of our circumstances and the things we DON'T have. Granted, that's not an easy position to take. Yet, it's a good approach that produces an attitude of gratitude.
Here in Vandalia, we have many things for which we should be thankful:

With a primary focus on the public interest, Tulane is committed to providing experiential educational opportunities and instilling in its students a sense of their responsibilities to the community.
At Tulane Law School, students find many doorways leading to the world of public interest law. There is a multi-faceted pro bono program in which all students participate, an array of clinical programs, externships in the federal court and administrative agencies, summer grant opportunities for first and second year students, and financial support for students choosing a public interest career upon graduation.
Tulane Law School has taken the lead in making public interest a focal point of the law school experience. Tulane was the first national law school to put in place a mandatory community service requirement, ensuring each student the opportunity to share with the community the legal skills acquired in the classroom. The pro bono program, founded in 1987, has continued to grow, with the resulting contribution of all Tulane graduates now approaching 200,000 hours.
Tulane offers six clinical programs which range from the traditional civil litigation, criminal defense, and juvenile justice representation to domestic violence, environmental and legislative and administrative advocacy.
As another option, Tulane offers externships in the federal district court, the bankruptcy court, the U.S. Attorney's office, federal administration agencies, including the NLRB and EEOC, as well as in a selection of non-profit and local government organizations serving the local community.
And the public interest focus continues upon graduation. Tulane was the 15th law school in the country to enable its students to pursue legal careers in the public interest by helping qualified graduates to repay law school educational debts through its Loan Repayment Assistance Program.

Nathan Myhrvold's Delusions: Patent Wars 'Vindicate' The Importance Of Patents
from the economically-clueless dept
Not only do you have to be willing to fail, you have to be willing for people to ridicule you and call you names. And most great endeavors have exactly that.... When you change the status quo, people get upset, and there are very powerful vested interests that feel threatened by the idea of people who will just go an invent a lot of new stuff, and ask you to pay for it. Here's the interesting thing: When we started Intellectual Ventures, it was even more true that there was all of this, and big technology companies were publicly saying, patents are terrible... If you look today, some of the most active litigants are big tech companies. Apple is out there very actively trying to protect the iPhone.... Intellectual property is actually more important to big companies every day, and I think that actually is vindication.Let's unpack that a bit. Intellectual Ventures isn't "changing the status quo." It's doing the opposite, it's taking the "status quo" -- a completely broken law that gets lawyers and investors rich but massively hinders actual innovation -- and scaling it up to massively harmful proportions. Intellectual Ventures has done nothing to help drive innovation forward. It has only taken money out of the innovation economy. No one is threatened by inventors inventing new stuff. They're threatened by companies wielding a virtual nuclear weapon allowing them to demand money for doing the obvious. Patents that are broadly worded, having little to do with actual inventions, are wielded against the companies that actually innovate.
The fact that big companies are involved in patent battles doesn't vindicate Myhrvold. They've always been involved in patent battles. The only reason patents are important in the tech industry is because everyone else has them and you need them to avoid a bogus lawsuit from a competitor. Or, as Joel Grus insightfully paraphrased in the comments to the Geekwire article linked above:
"All those big companies that said patents were terrible? Now they're trying to destroy each other with patents. Which somehow demonstrates that patents aren't terrible!"Using patents in lawsuits and patents being "useful" are two totally different things. Myhrvold must understand this. Either he doesn't care because scamming the system is making him filthy rich, or he's completely out of touch with how patents impact the tech industry.

Fans vote epic Laettner turnaround as the shot of shots
ATLANTA – Dozens of game-winning shots have fallen during the 75-year history of the NCAA Tournament, some of them highly unforgettable.
Indiana topped Syracuse in the 1987 title game on Keith Smart's jumper with four seconds left. North Carolina State accomplished the improbable in '83 by beating Houston when Lorenzo Charles steered a Dereck Wittenberg air ball into the basket as time expired. Who hasn't seen Valparaiso's Bryce Drew knock off Mississippi 100 times during this tournament as his buzzer-beater from 1998 made its way into an omnipresent commercial.
But a fan vote determined that the NCAA moment that outranks all others belongs to Angola native Christian Laettner, whose buzzer-beating turnaround jumper off a three-quarter court pass lifted Duke to a 104-103 overtime victory over Kentucky in the 1992 East Regional final.
"For it to be voted on as the most memorable play in the history of the NCAA in 75 years, I can't even put into words how much it means to me, how much it means to my family, my parents, my wife and my children," Laettner said during a news conference here Friday. "My children don't know much about it because I don't tell them anything about it. I don't ever put the Kentucky game on and make them watch. But whenever my dad is in town, he sneaks in, grabs the DVD, grabs them, makes them watch a little bit.
"Just a very proud moment. I'm honored. And for today's generation to still vote me in that play as the most memorable is just an unbelievable feeling."
As Laettner went on to note, the frenzied end to regulation and the wild exchange of baskets late in overtime set the stage. Duke led by 12 in the second half only to see the Wildcats rally. The lead changed hands five times in the final 31.5 seconds of OT. Kentucky appeared to have the game won when Sean Woods scored with 2.1 seconds left. The Blue Devils called time and coach Mike Krzyzewski set up a play they'd had at their disposal all season, one they'd used without success late in the regular season but practiced repeatedly thereafter. It called for Grant Hill to make the long pass to the foul line, with Laettner moving from the wing to the line to make the reception.
"The play was called 'home run,' " Laettner said. "We ran it three weeks earlier in Wake Forest. ... Grant threw a curveball, it kind of went out of bounds. Between the Wake Forest game and the Kentucky game we practiced in practice. Grant worked at passing, I worked at my last-second shot. During practice, I would shoot with my big-man coach. He would say, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I would have to run the court, run to the key, hit my last-second shot. We all practiced it, so Coach K said, 'Go out and run it. Good luck.'
"After that, it was just instincts and reaction, which is what basketball is. And we got lucky enough for the ball to go through the hole. ... I don't know if it happens, if it's voted the most memorable play with the entirety of the situation – how good Kentucky played, how much of an underdog team they were that night."
Laettner said the most memorable NCAA moment of his youth involved a play he never saw live – the Charles dunk that decided the '83 title.
"I was so sure Phi Slamma Jamma was going to win that night I went to a WWE event that night in Buffalo and I watched Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka jump off the ropes instead of watching that game because everybody was sure that Houston was going to win," he said. "When the WWE event was over, I jumped in the car with my dad. I said, 'Who won?' He said, 'N.C. State won.' We thought he was lying to us the whole 45-minute drive home. We were calling him a liar. When we saw the news, N.C. State won, we couldn't believe it. That is the most vivid play in my TV-watching memory before I started playing on the big stage."

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said Friday he is poised to sweep to victory in upcoming presidential elections and return the nation to the world community after years of isolation.
"We are going to be new brooms" for change, he told about 500 party leaders and activists at a party conference to finalize a platform. He will be pitted against long-time ruler President Robert Mugabe, 89, in elections. No date has been set but it is expected to be held around September.
Tsvangirai described his Movement for Democratic Change party as the main champion of a new, reformed constitution accepted by 95 per cent of the vote in a March referendum.
"We have a new constitution, we must definitely have a new government" to open Zimbabwe for business and restore human rights and the rule of law, he said.
The conference, which went into closed session after Tsvangirai's speech, ends on Sunday with the release of an election manifesto. Leaks to local media organizations of its proposals suggest the MDC intends to cut spending on the military, traditionally dominated by Mugabe's ZANU-PF party loyalists, and offer retirement to long-standing military and police commanders. The proposal is fraught with peril since commanders of the security forces are Mugabe loyalists and some have been disrespectful toward Tsvangirai.
It also calls for a full overhaul of chaotic voters' lists and electoral laws the party says have led to vote rigging in the past.
Tsvangirai said a return to stability will create jobs in the battered economy that faces record unemployment since a meltdown triggered by the often-violent seizures of thousands of white- owned commercial farmS which began in 2000, collapsing the agriculture-based economy.
Reforms within the police and military are demanded in the coalition agreement between Tsvangirai and Mugabe forged by regional leaders after violent and disputed elections in 2008 but Mugabe has dismissed calls for such reforms. Senior generals have repeatedly vowed their allegiance to Mugabe and have refused to salute Tsvangirai since he became prime minister in 2009, arguing he did not take part in the guerrilla war that ended colonial rule in 1980 and brought Mugabe to power.
The independent legal and constitutional research group Veritas said in a report Friday that among reforms that have not been tackled as called for by the coalition agreement are ones on freeing up the media, including the sole broadcaster controlled by Mugabe, and the repeal of security laws stifling free expression and freedom of association.
Regional mediators are insisting that more progress be made on these reforms before elections are held. The chief mediator on Zimbabwe, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, is expected to make a state visit to Zimbabwe sometime in the next few weeks.

TUSCALOOSA | With the recent approval by the U.S. Justice Department of the district line changes for the Tuscaloosa City Council, officials are now seeking preclearance for new polling places.
TUSCALOOSA | With the recent approval by the U.S. Justice Department of the district line changes for the Tuscaloosa City Council, officials are now seeking preclearance for new polling places.
Districts 2, 3, 6 and 7 — represented by council members Harrison Taylor, Cynthia Almond, Bob Lundell and William Tinker, respectively — are expected to be in new locations for the Aug. 27 municipal elections.
City Clerk Tracy Croom said the polling place changes, like the redistricting process itself, are necessary to reflect population shifts indicated by the 2010 Census.
Once the City Council approves the changes — a vote is expected on Tuesday night — it will then go to the Justice Department for preclearance. The added level of federal scrutiny is a requirement for certain states under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Earlier this year, the City Council adopted the new district map. The district line changes were first introduced on April 12, 2011, and have not changed since then, despite the population adjustments that resulted from the tornado that struck the city 15 days later.
The redistricting process is required every 10 years to reflect population changes indicated in the latest census. The 2010 Census showed that Tuscaloosa has a population of 90,468, with the eastern area of the city having the most growth and the western part of the city having the biggest losses.
Additionally, some new polling locations were chosen to ease access for voters and to lessen the burden on the facility itself. Pending the approval of the City Council and the federal government, the council's seven polling places will be:
n District 1: Tuscaloosa Department of Transportation auditorium at 1000 28th Ave.
District 2: Beulah Baptist Church Life Center at 3100 25th St..
District 3: First Wesleyan Church at 1501 McFarland Blvd. N..
District 4: Calvary Baptist Church at 1121 Paul W. Bryant Drive.
District 5: Boys and Girls Clubs of Tuscaloosa County at 717 21st Ave. E. (on the fairgrounds at Jaycee Park).
District 6: Grace Church at 2112 Hargrove Road E..
District 7: Skyland Elementary School at 408 Skyland Blvd. E.
Residents wishing to seek office can officially qualify starting July 2 and do so until 5 p.m. July 16.
Voters have until Aug. 16 to register with the Tuscaloosa County Board of Registrars.
Those who will be unable to make it to a polling place on election day have until Aug. 22 to apply for a regular absentee ballot that must be postmarked or hand delivered to the absentee election official by Aug. 26.

UFA, Russia _ Malcolm Subban stepped up for Canada in a big way on Sunday.
The goaltender made 36 saves as the Canadians defeated the United States 2-1 to stay perfect after three games at the world junior hockey championship.
Subban, who plays for the OHL's Belleville Bulls, made a number of game-saving and game-changing stops. Coming into the tournament, there were questions about his concentration after he yielded questionable goals during selection camp and pre-camp, as well as his propensity to give up long rebounds.
The 19-year-old put those questions to rest against the Americans and reinforced both his confidence and his teammates' faith as Canada moves towards the medal round.
"We needed that,'' Canadian coach Steve Spott said. "You have to have elite goaltending to win this tournament. We've seen it over the last number of years that you need your goaltender to be your best penalty killer and certainly he was tonight.''
Subban didn't play badly in wins over Germany and Slovakia, in which he allowed three goals on 28 shots in each. But the Boston Bruins prospect stepped up his game against the U.S. for his best of the tournament so far.
"No one deserves it more than him,'' Canadian forward Ryan Strome said. "He proved a lot of people wrong. We knew he had it in him.''
Strome and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored goals for Canada, whose biggest game of the preliminary round now looms Monday against host Russia.
The battle of the unbeaten teams will determine which country tops Pool B and gets the bye to the semifinal. The loser must advance to the semifinal via a quarter-final win.
Canada sits first in the group at 3-0 with nine points, followed by Russia at 2-0-1 with eight. The U.S. and Slovakia, both with a win and three points apiece, meet Monday to determine the group's third playoff team.
Defending champion Sweden tops Pool A with eight points, followed by the Czech Republic with six and Finland and Switzerland tied with five heading into the final day of preliminary-round games.
Defenceman Jacob Trouba scored for the Americans. John Gibson, who plays for Spott's Kitchener Rangers of the OHL, made it a goaltender's duel with 30 saves
After the win, Subban wore the black nylon cape that Canadian coaches award to the game's hero.
He stopped John Gaudreau on a breakaway in the first period and held off an American flurry during a double minor to Canada's Griffin Reinhart early in the second. But it was an opening stop on Trouba that got Subban in a groove.
"I felt really confident coming into the game and after that save, my confidence went right through the roof after that,'' Subban explained. "It's not so much that it was a tough save.
"I felt really good making the save, I felt comfortable making it, so I think that was the biggest thing for me.''
Canada played with 11 forwards because JC Lipon and Boone Jenner were serving suspensions. They will be back in Canada's lineup against Russia, but Spott was forced to furiously juggle his second, third and fourth forward lines Sunday.
"It was really a character win in a lot of ways,'' Spott said. "The moral of the story tonight is our depth players, our penalty killers, (and) you know, obviously, Malcolm Subban.
"I'm really proud of him. It's a big moment for Malcolm. He stood up tall to the task tonight.''
Canada had to kill off a boarding penalty to Nugent-Hopkins with one minute 37 seconds remaining in the game.
"It was pretty nerve-wracking for sure,'' Canada's captain said. "Something that I can't be doing obviously. I'm obviously happy we got a big penalty kill.''
After Trouba's goal pulled the U.S. within a goal at 11:02 of the third, the Americans hurt their own comeback attempt with penalties.
Captain Jake McCabe and forward Ryan Hartman took misconducts for checking to the head later in the third period. Trouba and forward Tyler Biggs took minors as well.
The U.S., which finished seventh in the 2012 tournament, has lost back-to-back games by one goal after also suffering a 2-1 loss to the Russians.
"We had our chances,'' coach Phil Housley said. "It's one thing if you're not getting the opportunities to score, but we are. We've played two very good hockey teams and had a chance to tie the game in both.''
When Ty Rattie and Phil Danault were foiled on a short-handed, 2-on-1 scoring chance, Trouba scored a power-play goal on the following rush back to Canada's end.
Strome made it 2-0 at 18:19 of the first period with his fourth of the tournament. Brett Ritchie worked the puck out from behind the net and Strome snapped it upstairs on Gibson.
Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring for Canada at 7:13 in the first period, when his team won the faceoff in the U.S. zone. He feathered a low wrist shot past Gibson.

Massachusetts HIV Testing Policy in 2012: Six Degrees of C. Everett Koop
December 2, 2011
As an action-packed year for the HIV/AIDS community draws to a close, TheBody.com takes stock of 2011 in a new series of articles, "2011 HIV/AIDS Year in Review." Read the entire series here.
[Bad dream.]
I'll take "Massachusetts HIV Testing Policy" for $500.
[Daily Double! Applause, suspense, a hush grows over the studio audience.]
Hot diggity, I'll wager every last cent.
[You can hear a pin drop.]
The answer is: "NOT A DAMNED THING. ZERO. ZILCH."
[Internal glee, knowing I'm about to hit the Jackpot and really score.]
I've got this one: What happened in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts during the 2011-2012 Legislative Session regarding changes to its 20th-century HIV testing laws?
[Lights flash, I scream in glee, the audience goes bonkers. I am a rich man. I wake up.]
Bad dream? Recurring nightmare? Sad reality?
* * *
A "funny" thing may happen on the way to bringing HIV testing law in Massachusetts into the 21st century - NOT A DAMNED THING. ZERO. ZILCH.
Actually a lot has happened here in Massachusetts in the last few months but none of it serves the public good or the public's health. I consider the issue for which I advocate a public health crisis: replacing our HIV testing policy (Written Informed Consent) where currently a negligible number of citizens are being offered an HIV test.
It is entirely possible that when the current legislative session ends here on July 31, 2012, the Written Informed Consent HIV testing law that has been on the books since the 1980s will remain the status quo. Why does this enrage me? Why is the HIV testing paradigm in Massachusetts not routine and standard, along the lines of the 2006 CDC testing recommendations? Why are not more people across all demographic groups being tested? Read my story; that's all you have to do understand why the thought of not moving away from Written Informed Consent is completely and absolutely redonk.
What went wrong? Why can the Massachusetts legislature not reach consensus on the Verbal Informed Consent HIV testing bill proposed earlier this year? I ask more questions these days than provide answers. This is not my style.
The short answer: nasty and avoidable political posturing and backstabbing, all at the expense of the silent coalition I represent in this battle - the thousands of Massachusetts citizens who are infected with the HIV virus but do not know it because they have not been offered an HIV test.
* * *
A visit to a periodontist last month revealed the need for a minor procedure. Once I revealed my HIV status to him, the doctor was concerned about excessive bleeding during the anticipated procedure. He wanted to contact my HIV doctor and I agreed that was a good idea. I appreciated his cautious and thorough approach to my periodontal health and I promptly gave him my physician's phone number; by day's end they had conferred about the procedure and my condition.
But given the language in the now seemingly moribund HIV testing bill, the conversation between my gum guy and my HIV doc would have required a written consent form from yours truly, something that in this case I would find totally unnecessary. No other disease restricts the sharing of medical information (medications, diagnoses, labs, etc.) between clinicians or from a hospital to a primary care physician; those who crafted the Verbal Informed Consent HIV Testing bill for some reason felt it necessary to further stigmatize HIV by adding this additional layer of written consent. Why can't we leave well enough alone and let HIPAA be HIPAA? I am comfortable and secure in trusting that physicians will do the next right thing in caring for their patients, me included.
What has happened here in Massachusetts is insidious political posturing and backroom bill authoring; along the way dedicated and front-line physicians and influential physician groups like the Massachusetts Medical Society were left out of the bill's development process and they no longer support the bill in its present format. And I now stand with the physicians. AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, GLAD, the ACLU and other organizations do support the current bill, and were involved in its development, and from what I've been told the two factions are no longer speaking. And the legislative leaders are apparently furious that the two sides cannot see eye to eye. Each contingent has dug their heels in the sand; neither is budging.
* * *
There is nothing special about HIV. I don't feel special knowing the virus courses through my body, undetectable but omnipresent. Nor do I feel like I should be afforded special rights by virtue of my HIV status. I live with HIV each day, much like others live with hepatitis C or diabetes each day. To layer on additional requirements like written consent for the sharing of my medical records, for example, goes a long way to further stigmatize me and my HIV status.
I thought we were trying to tear the stigma apart, not build it back up.
* * *
I ask further: If so many can occupy Wall Street, why can't one single soul chain himself to the golden dome of the Massachusetts State House? I'll even chain myself sideways and stay put until the legislature sees fit to pass a smart HIV testing bill, one that removes the present requirement for written consent and allows current privacy protections to apply to those with HIV.
This is the rhetorical question I posed last month when I met with a Massachusetts state representative, his legislative aide, and an official from a state agency who is trying to find a way to reach consensus or compromise on the testing bill before July 31, 2012. I spoke passionately about the pressing need to pass a sensible routine HIV testing bill this session, and the group seemed receptive to my ideas.
During the meeting, I suggested that it may take someone with the stature and gravitas of C. Everett Koop, our former U.S. Surgeon General who turned 95 in October, to get the diametrically opposed parties into a room. A good mediator and public health advocate, Dr. Koop is the exact type of person who can ensure that rational discussions about the future of HIV testing could occur, which would hopefully allow the legislative stalemate to end and HIV testing to begin. If you have ideas of who else might be a good arbitrator/mediator, by all means send me their name(s); in the meantime, it's Six Degrees of C. Everett Koop.
My advocacy and willingness to literally and figuratively scream from the top of the golden dome is at the very least symbolically important and hopefully will keep policymakers focused on what really matters.
Ed Perlmutter was diagnosed with HIV in July 2006, and has been receiving HIV therapy through a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study since September 2006. He lives with his partner in an old farmhouse on the city limits of Boston, in the woods, amongst critters and varmints and dozens of varieties of dahlias.

Last Child in the Woods
Richard Louv was the first to identify a phenomenon we all knew existed but couldn't quite articulate: nature-deficit disorder. His book Last Child in the Woods created a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and his message has galvanized an international movement. Now, three years after its initial publication, we have reached a tipping point, with Leave No Child Inside initiatives adopted in at least 30 regions within 21 states, and in Canada, Holland, Australia, and Great Britain.
This new edition reflects the enormous changes that have taken place since the book—and this grassroots movement— were launched. It includes:
• 101 Things you can do to create change in your community, school, and family.
• Discussion points to inspire people of all ages to talk about the importance of nature in their lives.
• A new afterword by the author about the growing Leave No Child Inside movement.
• New and updated research confirming that direct exposure to nature is essential for the physical and emotional health of children and adults.
This is a book that will change the way you think about your future and the future of your children.

Artists: Megan Jean Morris

Painted Soul Tattoo
1056 S. Colony Rd.
Wallingford, CT 06492

Instagram: @meganjeanmorris
How did you first get into tattooing?
At 3 years old they gave me face paint at day care. I got naked and painted my entire body like a skunk. At 5 years old my best friend and I were stripped down and washed with a garden hose; I had gotten hold of a large black stamp and covered her entire body with the wonderful black Talens ink! In seventh grade I was drawing full sleeves and back pieces on my friends with Sharpies … during class. In college I met a boy tattooing his friends out of his house. I paid attention and as soon as I graduated I moved home and got myself an apprenticeship. Mom cried. I've been coloring all over children and making mothers mad ever since I held my first marker.
What was your first shop experience like?
Old school. I am so fortunate to have had the apprenticeship that I did. It was tough in every way. They didn't want me there at first, but I just kept coming around with coffee asking if I could clean the floor or bathroom. One day Adam Gordon, the owner and the artist who trained me, wanted to show me how to make needles and asked me to come back the next day! It was glorious. I lived for nothing but that shop; it was all I had. I lived in a single room and shared a bathroom with some other apartment; I ate leftovers that my friends gave me; and I showed up every day eager and excited to clean motorcycles, draw pictures, and study my Huck Spaulding tattooing book.
What brought you to open your shop, Painted Soul Tattoo?
Opening my shop was not really a plan. I had moved to a new area and didn't know anyone. I just wanted a little hole in the wall where I could tattoo. The smallest place I could find to rent was too expensive for one person, so I found someone to share it with and it turned into a shop.
What qualities do you look for in an artist to hire at your shop?
I need to see that someone is committed to their artwork and to growing and improving as an artist, and that they are interested in understanding what their client is looking for. Also, I am a straight shooter, so they can't be a crybaby or I will hurt their feelings—not a quality, just a fact.
You work mainly in realism/surrealism. What led you in that direction?
Surrealism is simply an expression of how my mind works. One thought or feeling is always twisted right into another. Realism … I'm not sure why I'm a realist. When I picture things in my mind it's with real lighting and textures. When I am beginning to imagine a piece of work it's sort of like how my dreams are: real images but in an unrealistic setting or context.
You work closely with Nikko Hurtado, the tattoo artist who did your back piece. What was the idea behind that?
Three years deep, I finally attended my first convention as a guest. It was Hell City Arizona. I saw Nikko Hurtado's work and my whole outlook on tattooing changed! I think his work sculpted an entire shift in thinking throughout our industry. So as you can imagine, it is beyond an honor to have him now as a friend, mentor, and artist working on my back! We've all seen Nikko do portraits, but I wanted to set him loose on a composition, something larger. When I told him my idea was a Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf back piece, his eyes lit up! The idea behind the fairy tale is that we all have demons or a dark side. I think Little Red is facing a demon and she is trying not to be fooled by it. It's all a metaphor. Nikko puts his whole heart into his work. I tried painting him in my own heart in return to say thank you. My painting The Apology was a gift to him. It's the same subject as my back piece, just expressed by different subject matter. For example, in my back piece the wolf is wearing a costume and in my painting the jewelry box is full of costume jewelry. The only thing of value in that box is my heart. This is a lesson Nikko has actually taught me. He is one of the kindest, most humble and caring people I have known. So need – less to say, working closely with Nikko to create this piece has been my honor and an experience of a lifetime.
You were recently featured on Tattoo Titans. How was that experience?
It was crazy and fun. Kind of ridiculous circumstances to really do my best work, but I was relieved when I saw the show. My tattoos looked good, my clients were happy, and I felt the network did a great job presenting me the way I really am. I was nervous they would edit material to try and create a character. I guess I was character enough, though [laughs], 'cause they pretty much just let me be me.
You went to school in Syracuse in order to study design and fine arts. How has that particular background helped you in your current tattoo work?
My background in design plays a fundamental role in how I approach projects. Even the fact that I call every tattoo a project sets a different tone. Instead of "getting a tattoo" my clients experience creating art. It's a thoughtful process full of brainstorming. As a designer, I was trained to back up and play around a bit before deciding what product actually would meet a user's need. Usually people come to me and say what they'd like to have tattooed on them. I usually ask them to back up and start with what inspired them to get this tattoo. I try to listen to the things left unsaid, not just the part they know how to express. Then I ask them to allow me to brainstorm some subject matter that might express the picture as a whole for them. This process allows for originality, artwork that I am excited about making, and a product that is more uniquely theirs than anything they ever pictured.
What artists do you admire in the current tattoo world?
Nikko Hurtado, Rember [Orellana], Dmitriy Samohin, Kelly Doty, Liz Cook, Christian Perez, Paul Acker, Carlos Torres, Josh Duffy, Stefano Alcantara, Jose Perez Jr., Bob Tyrrell, Paul Booth, Carl Grace, Tommy Lee Wendtner, Robert Hernandez, Toxyc, Jeff Gogue, Tofi, Teresa Sharpe, Sarah Miller, David Corden, and Benjamin Laukis. There is also a group of painters associated with our industry that I am influenced or inspired by: Michael Hussar, Kevin Llewellyn, Shawn Barber, Camila Rocha, and Sergio Sanchez.
How do you think the reputation of tattooing has changed since you've been involved in the industry?
Well, I think one of the coolest things has been the emergence of the "collector," a client who is dedicated and intentionally collecting works of art by amazing artists. As the artwork that our industry is producing becomes more sophisticated, so do our clients. The reputation of tattooing continues to grow and expand, challenging the accepted rule that fine art hangs on museum walls.
If you could tattoo anyone with any design, what would it be?
I'd like to tattoo a chest piece on the President of the United States, a piece that describes his job. Doesn't matter who the president is at the time—it just would be a really intense piece of art, and I'd love to see a president with a big old chest piece!

Mozart in Vienna, 1781-1791
This biography deals with Mozart's last ten years, when he leaves his salaried post in Salzburg to seek greater fortune in Vienna. It discusses his marriage to Costanze, his membership in the Freemasons, all of the operas composed during this period, as well as the life of a composer and musician during the later part of the 18th century. The author spends some time debunking some of the Mozart myths: his burial in a pauper's grave and his relationship...

BANGKOK (AP) — Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has begun a two-day visit to Thailand as part of a regional tour before he steps down next year.
Wen is expected to discuss greater cooperation in areas such as education and rice trade with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
China is Thailand's second-largest trading partner after Japan.
Wen also is to meet with 84-year-old Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej and with members of the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Before arriving in Bangkok, Wen attended an East Asia Summit in Cambodia.
Wen's trip follows a visit by President Barack Obama to Thailand on Sunday. Wen is to return to Beijing on Wednesday.

Darksiders developer Vigil was working on a secret new title codenamed Crawler which was making jaws drop internally at THQ, president Jason Rubin has revealed.
"The price that the teams and products 'went for' at auction seem to me to have no bearing on the underlying value," Rubin told Game Informer. "If someone tries to judge the quality of the products by the price paid for them they are doing themselves no favour.
"The best example of this is Vigil's title, codenamed Crawler. When the teams got together recently to show each other their titles, Crawler dropped the most jaws. It is a fantastic idea, and truly unique. The fact that nobody bid for the team and title is a travesty. It makes no sense to me."
He added: "If I weren't barred from bidding as an insider, I would have been there with my checkbook. I'm sure that's little consolation to the team, but that's a fact."
Regarding the publisher's back catalogue of properties such as Red Faction and Darksiders, Rubin says these will all go up for sale shortly.
"There will be a separate process to sell off the back catalogue and IP. That process will take place in the coming weeks," he explained.
As for Rubin himself, he says the focus is on "helping the THQ employees who are out of work find jobs. I am lucky enough that this process doesn't negatively impact my family. That is not true for hundreds of people".

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Harvard men's water polo
team suffered a pair of defeats on the second and final day of the
Princeton Invitational, falling to No. 16 Santa Clara, 18-6, and to
Fordham by a score of 11-8 Sunday.
Against the Broncos, Bret Voith tallied two goals, while the foursome of Egen Atkinson, Max Eliot, Jeff Lee and Kevin DiSilvestro each pitched in with a tally apiece. The Crimson trailed 4-2 after the first quarter, but the team could not inch any closer against Santa Clara.
In the latter contest against Fordham, Alexandre Popp started in net for Harvard, making 11 saves. In addition to drawing four kickouts, Alex Thompson found the back of the net for a goal. Voith and Eliot tied for the team lead with two goals each, and Lee, Luka Babic and Mike Katzer also added tallies. Harvard scored on 1-of-7 man-up opportunities, as the team falls to 1-6 on the season.
Up next, the Crimson will host MIT in Harvard's home and CWPA opener Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. The team will then head back to Princeton, N.J., for the ECAC Championships Sept. 18-20. Harvard will take on George Washington Friday at 9:15 p.m. The Crimson, the No. 9 seed at the ECAC Championships, defeated the eighth-seeded Colonials, 12-7, at the Princeton Invitational Saturday. Mike Katzer scored four goals in the contest to guide the Crimson offense, while Popp stopped eight shots.
